Police identify driver in fatal hit-and-run
KU student's 'reckless and careless' driving allegedly killed fellow student Sept. 23
BY DAVID LINHARDT
A Lawrence Police Department accident report identified a 24-year-old male as the driver of the car that allegedly struck and killed a KU student Sept. 23.
Joshua Walton, a KU student, was driving alone in the silver 2002 Toyota
Camry that allegedly struck Ryan Kanost, Manhattan senior, while Kanost crossed the street at Kentucky and 13th streets.
Walton turned himself in to authorities Sept. 24.
The Douglas County district attorney's office continues to investigate the hit-and-run fatality. The police report
The Camry was traveling northbound on Kentucky early on Sept. 23 when it allegedly struck Kanost. Police noted damage to the Camry's front side. Kanost was pronounced dead at the scene.
did not list either alcohol or drugs as factors in the accident.
The car traveled straight and did
not swerve or attempt to avoid Kanost, not according to the police report.
The report stated that the car failed to yield the right-of-way to Kanost, who was crossing Kentucky street at a cross-walk.

Dexton Fields, sophomore wide receiver, charges through the 'Huskers' Tierre Green for an 18-yard pass and first down at the end of the first half of play Saturday. Fields finished the game with eight receptions for 108 yards. The Jayhawks lost in Lincoln, Neb., 39 to 32 in overtime.
ROUGH START FOR BARMANN
MANGINO ENCOURAGED
Quarterback Adam Barmann didn't complete a pass in the first quarter, but rebounded to lead the Jayhawks in a second-half comeback that tied the game.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said that while moral victories don't count, the game was closer than any in recent memory and provides hope for the future.
WASHINGTON RECOVERS
The Jayhawks had a scary moment when Linebacker Eric Washington lay on the ground after a hit in the third quarter. He is expected to make a full recovery.

New football facility to displace 20 spaces
>> ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Parking spaces displaced by the building of the new football practice facility south of Memorial Stadium will not be replaced one-for-one when replacement parking lots are built.
Lew Perkins, Kansas Athletics Director, told Student Senate the news last Wednesday in an open forum discussion with senators.
Parking lots near Memorial Stadium to lose parking spots, none to be added elsewhere
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, confirmed the information Friday afternoon and said an estimated 20 spaces would be lost.
"There is no discussion right now of
trying to put any additional spaces anywhere else" Hultine said.
Hultine said initially the parking department and the Athletics Department believed they could maintain the same number of spaces, but when engineers began to look at the site, the hill made the idea impossible.
Construction plans called for portions of lots 91, 92 and 93, located southeast of Memorial Stadium, to be converted into two football practice fields. New office space would also be built in a portion of lot 59 near Potter Lake.
Representatives from the Athletics Department could not be reached for
comment on Friday.
According to a press release, the new facility will be named the Anderson Family Football Complex. The Anderson family contributed $2 million and pledged an additional $10 million to the project.
The total cost of the complex is $31 million and will be paid for by private donations.

Lack of reasons disappoints Glover family
NEW JERSEY STREET FIRE
BY MARK VIERTHALER
He apologized to the Glover family for the lack of any concrete reason for the fire.
The cause of the Sept. 17 fire at 1205 New Jersey St. cannot be determined, the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical said after 70 leads and 60 interviews.
"Our investigators would like nothing more than to provide a conclusive result in this tragic loss, however, an undetermined cause is what our investigation has concluded," Bradford said.
At a press conference Friday, Mark Bradford, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical chief, said there was no evidence of criminal intent. Because of the extent of the damage and the lack of witnesses, Bradford said there was no way they could rule out malicious intent but there was no evidence to suggest it either.
Charles Glover, Jr., Glover's son, stood with his arms crossed as he silently bore the announcement that no cause could be determined, which he said offered no closure for the family.
The investigation revealed the source of the fire to have begun on the front porch and continued in towards to the house.
"We really didn't know what to expect," Glover said quietly. "We were just hoping to find something out."
Bradford said the large amounts of fire damage,fire fatalities and lack of witnesses made the investigation extremely difficult to reconstruct what actually took place that Sunday morning.
The announcement comes two weeks after the fire on New Jersey Street killed Charles Glover, Sr. and his grandchildren Mariya Johnson, 13 months; Nolan Vender, 13; Mario Johnson, 2 and Davonte Brockman, 11. His wife Learlear Hooks was the only survivor and was hospitalized.
Captain Dan Affalter with the Lawrence Police Department said he estimated more than 1,000 labor hours had been completed during the investigation.
The investigation is now closed.

A 10-year veteran Lawrence Police detective was identified Friday as the officer who shot and fatally wounded a Lawrence woman during a Sept. 24 standoff.
Police identify detective who shot Lawrence woman
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Detective Troy Squire shot Marsha Mace, 36, after she opened the front door of her trailer and fired at police who had been negotiating with her for more than four hours.
The Lawrence Police Department said in a news release that "all department policies for incident response were followed." The department's policy states that officers are permitted to use the amount of force necessary to prevent death or bodily harm to an officer. Squire had been placed on administrative leave, per policy, pending the outcome of the review.
Mace later died at a Kansas City hospital from her wounds.
The first officer on the scene was Kresten Spurling. Mace shot through a window as Spurling approached her trailer around 9 a.m.
More officers arrived at the scene, and negotiations were attempted. Mace opened her door at 1:23 p.m. and fired at officers. Police returned fire and Squire's shot hit Mace. Police Chief Ron Olin said that based on a note found at the scene, Mace may have wanted officers to shoot her.
The investigative report now goes to the Douglas County district attorney's office for a second review.

Spotlight on Organizations
The inconvenient truths of our nation's energy crisis are not insurmountable to members of 2020 Vision and Campus Climate Challenge, two nationally-based organizations with chapters at the University of Kansas.
BY MEGAN HIRT
"Campuses are the most successful in implementing change," Studie Red Corn, Shawnee junior and Midwest Regional Director for 2020 Vision, said. "It takes action on the local and individual levels to make a large difference."
For both 2020 Vision and Campus Climate Challenge, that difference is the reduction of energy use and the implementation of clean and responsible energy solutions.
2020 Vision & Campus Climate Challenge
2020 Vision, in its second year at KU, began in the 1980s to promote increased citizen involvement in environmental public policy decisions. Individual college chapters
are present on only 13 other campuses.
Campus Climate Challenge, making its debut at KU this semester, took shape in the 1990s as college students began pressing for more environmentally responsible practices at their schools. Dan Swick, Huntley, III., senior and founder of Campus Climate Challenge at the University, said that there are now extensions of the organization on more than 50 campuses.
As national entities, both groups are dynamically involved in the pursuit of alternative energy solutions. Campus Climate Challenge recently joined forces with MTV for the "Break the Addiction" campaign, which encouraged college students to push for clean energy at their schools. During the summer, 2020 Vision hosted the National Summit on Energy Security in Washington, D.C., at which prominent scientists and influential politicians discussed solving the national security threat that has arisen from the United States' dependence on foreign energy resources.
However, Red Corn and Swick have their sights set specifically on bringing changes to the University.
Local initiatives for this year include establishing concrete, measurable goals within the University Environmental Policy, making ethanol fuel available at the city level and campaigning for a small increase in student fees that will go toward renewable energy investments at the University. In the long run, Red Corn would like to see physical improvements to the campus that advance wind, solar, geothermal and other energy alternatives, "making our university a landmark for clean energy."
Another goal is the establishment of a Proxy Voting Advisory
Board with KU Endowment, which will counsel the foundation regarding decisions on corporate resolutions, ensuring that the University practices environmentally responsible share holding.
Ultimately, Red Corn said both 2020 Vision and Campus Climate Challenge are working to initiate an overall shift of mindset among KU students and faculty. "I want to see taking the bus or riding your bike be recognized as the most patriotic thing someone can do," he said.
Students interested in joining forces with 2020 Vision and Campus Climate Challenge should email Red Corn at studio1@ku.edu, or Swick at danswick@ku.edu. "There is plenty of research, outreach, and action to be taken," Red Corn said. "Contact us and we will get you involved."

Man arrested with stolen
marijuana from business CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — A man who police said was caught with two pounds of marijuana allegedly told officers the drug wasn't his because he stole it.
Bradley Robison, 18, of Cedar Rapids, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and failure to affix a drug
tax stamp. When police found him with the marijuana, he said he had stolen it from a nearby business that he had just broken into, court records show.
Linn County Attorney Harold Denton said it didn't matter how Robison got the marijuana — only that he had it.
"If you steal it, you steal it and you possess it," Denton said. "It's a double whammy."

Bealessio, 51, arrived just as the pizza did.
She turned the delivery driver away and was met inside the door by Scott.
Scott attacked, but Bealessio was able to escape unharmed.

New city manager appointed by commission
After serving as an interim since early March, local David Corliss is chosen to hold a more permanent position
BY MARK VIERTHALER
David Corliss stood with his family in the corner of the Lawrence City Commission meeting room, shaking hands and posing for pictures as he awaited Mayor Mike Amyx's announcement of his appointment as city manager.
Corliss took responsibility for the position immediately after the announcement.
Neither Leon Churchill nor Dennis Taylor, the two other candidates, were present at the Friday morning announcement. Amyx stood in front of three of the four city commissioners and read from a prepared statement.
"I was supposed to come up with a cute analogy," Amyx said. "This is where I screw up. So let me delay no longer."
Corliss, who has been interim city manager since March, received a standing ovation as Amyx announced the hiring. Amyx thanked Corliss for his service as interim city manager during the last several months.
Amyx also addressed concerns
that me hiring of a local official meant the interviewing process was a waste of time and money. He said the city had started a nationwide search in an honest effort to find the best person for the job. After what he described as "intensive interviews," the commission decided Corliss was best suited for the position.
After congratulations from those in attendance, Corliss thanked his family and the commission for the time they had put in during the three-month hiring process.
Corliss said his first step, as city manager would be a complete examination of every city program across the board. He said it would be a continuous process and a necessary expense.
The main issue Corliss said he would focus on was the economic development of Lawrence.
"The last thing we want is for Lawrence to become a bedroom community for Topeka and Kansas City." he said.
City commissioner Sue Hack said Corliss's previous knowledge of Lawrence played a large factor in
his hiring. She said he represented a fresh look at how to handle the city's affairs.
Corliss has been working for the City of Lawrence since 1990 when he was hired as a management analyst. In 1996 he was promoted to director of legal services and in 2000 to assistant city manager—a position that had him working closely with former city manager Mike Wilden.
Corliss received his bachelor's master's and law degrees from the University of Kansas.
Commissioners cited his handling of the budget as another reason they decided to hire him.
"We have every trust in him that he will make each department run efficiently." Hack said. "He has a wealth of knowledge on this city and he comes with great experience."

Ben Folds tickets sell out one day after going on sale Thurs

Tickets for the Nov. 6 Ben Folds concert sold out Friday in the early afternoon, the day after they went on sale.

SUA will present the concert, featuring the singer/songwriter and former front man of Ben Folds Five, at the Lied Center, located on West Campus.
Dennis Mersmann, a Lawrence senior who started waiting in line at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, said he has
been a Ben Folds fan since junior high school.
"Ben Folds can usually be relied on for an excellent concert," Mersmann said.

Mersmann said the SUA did well to bring such a talented musician to campus.
But he said he would've preferred a different venue than the Lied Center because he enjoys being
more active and doesn't like the idea of being confined to a seat.
The SUA began planning the special performance late last spring in hopes to bring a "big name" to campus, Burns said earlier this fall.
Burns said the SUA expected a great amount of student support when it began to receive calls about the concert as soon as the semester started in August. The show should
be packed. Burns said he viewed the concert as a great achievement toward bringing students quality entertainment.

OPINION
OUR VIEW
Tuition inflation fosters inequality
It is often said that there is no better investment, and no better reason to go into debt, than higher education. But this astonishing number means that the cost of a college degree has increased at 14 times the average rate of inflation during that period. This has not gone unnoticed, but has certainly been underreported.
The New York Times recently reported on the alarming rise in health care costs, which increased at double the inflation rate in the last year. The Times took a similarly alarmist tone when it reported on the staggering rise in insurance premiums in coastal areas, which have seen premiums increase drastically since last year's storms.
In a purely economic sense, universities are simply taking advantage of a favorable situation. As the earning power of a high school diploma has fallen, the significance of bachelor's degrees and postgraduate degrees
Both are fiscal issues worthy of attention. But the dramatic increase in the cost of college tuition in the last decade has been a quiet but severe strain on the bank accounts of both students and parents. A recent report in the Wall Street Journal noted that in the last 10 years, average tuition at four-year public universities has increased an astounding 42 percent, a full 10 points more than the increase at private colleges.
has risen, and schools can capitalize on that trend. But these cost increases are symptomatic of a larger cultural shift. The rising costs of colleges are leading to a widely segmented society, in which the educated information elites simply perpetuate their class by extending their earning power through innovation (see hedge funds), which allows them to pay for higher education for their own children. The cycle can then begin anew with another generation of educated elites.
To be sure, federal and private loans have gone a long way in leveling the playing field of universities. But the preponderance of loans simply creates mountains of debt, forcing those who utilize them to start their careers at an economic disadvantage. The educated elites rarely face such a problem, since they can usually afford to pay full tuition for their children.
The University of Kansas is as big an offender as anyone else in this dramatic tuition increase, and for what obvious benefits? Any time a fiscal cost increases at rates unseen since Soviet satellite states, something is amiss. The University must ensure that it stops getting caught up in the culture of yearly increases currently afflicting universities nationwide.

Dirty urban legends, fact or fiction?
COMMENTARY
My friend Kat told me the most horrible story ever, claiming it was true because not one but two people had told her about it.
"There was this guy," she said, "and he stuck a gerbil in his butt. It got stuck, and he was too embarrassed to go to the hospital so he decided to smoke it out. He put a match near his anus, but he farted and singed his butt hair. He ended up having to go to the hospital anyway."
She expected me to believe this, and I actually believed her until 1, the research-obessed history major, looked up the facts.
I consulted a Senior Fellow in the Division of Gastronomy and a Board Certified Internist at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor to find out if it was actually possible to light a fire in that manner. Apparently, it is possible to light a fart on fire because the gas emitted is sulfur. He informed me of a larger man who ate too many beans and sat in an enclosed space. The man died from poisoning due to the quantity of his own sulfuric gas.
However, these cases are extremely rare, and one would have

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
The point is that regardless of fact or fiction we love to share these dirty urban legends, and October is the perfect month to sit around a bonfire sharing stories, eating candy corn and wearing monkey costumes.
Already October has proved to be a devilishly dirty month. With recent news that Dustin Diamond, aka Screech, might allegedly have a 40-minute sex tape circulating with him and two women performing a dirty sanchez (if you don't know what it is, don't ask) I am reminded of how important it is to learn the facts before we completely believe what we hear. I particularly don't
want to believe this rumor because I find it hard to believe that Screech has sex, let alone with two women, let alone dirty poo-poo sex.
One of the most comprehensive urban legend Web sites is www. snopes.com, and one neat factor to the site is that not only does it list different legends, but it also debunks many. I preferred the true stories, and the following from the site are my top three:

The reason for this is Japan's thriving "bura-sera" industry, which describes the males' fascination with youth and schoolgirl culture. This eroticism partly explains the Japanese style of looking girlish and cute in comparison with the western notion of looking womanly and busy.
2. ) In 1970, Rocky himself, Sylvester Stallone, starred in a porn flick called Party at Kitty and Stud's. Sly played Stud. He later told Playboy magazine that he was paid $200, and if you check out the Internet Movie Database, www.imdb.com, you will actually see the
cover of this marvelous-looking flick.
3. ) A certain anti-depressant can cause orgasms when its users yawn. Researchers found that the drug clomipramine, brand name Anafranil, caused some patients to orgasm when they yawned, and thus many patients found the drug to be "quite pleased."
There were plenty of false or non-provable stories on the site that I remember my friends and I had giggled about in junior high. Those stories include the infamous "girls dies masturbating with broom," "policemen have to tell hookers that they're cops if the hookers ask," "the fashion style of sagging began in prison to signal sexual availability," and so on and so on.
Unfortunately, it is too early to tell whether or not Screech's urban legend is true or not, but if you're interested in other legends, then check out the Web site and arm yourself with the truth. After all, people will believe anything as long as it happened to a "friend of a friend of a friend."

GUEST COMMENTARY
Ryan Kanost put his friends before himself
I can't imagine what the last nine years of my life would have been like without Ryan Kanost. It is rare and indescribable to meet someone that you can love and trust like family.
I met Ryan in the summer after 8th grade and we got to know each other in band class. He played the trumpet and I played the drums. After much discussion and planning during classes and marching band trips, we decided to form a rock group. I have no idea what kind of music I had been listening to at the time, but I'm sure that it was embarrassingly awful. Ryan showed me music that changed my life. We began practicing in my parents' basement. Ryan played guitar while I drummed, speeding up and slowing down songs by The Foo Fighters, The Pixies, Nirvana and Cake.
Ryan's friend Travis Warner, joined the band and I was shocked by his and Ryan's musical ability. Ryan and Travis began writing original songs, and the three of us played together for years under numerous incarnations, lineups and levels of seriousness.
Even though he did not play in a band in college, he would always come to my concerts. I would try
Early in high school, Ryan introduced me to Scott Emery. Scott, Ryan, Travis and I connected, banded together and developed a bond that will last beyond years. They are my best friends. They are a part of me. They are a part of an essential and sustaining idea of home. I thank Ryan for showing me such friendship. Not only did he introduce Travis, Scott and me, but he cared for us, helped us and made our lives better.
We called ourselves "the family."
We had family holidays and parties.
Scott refers to Ryan as the "dad" of our group. He organized cook-outs and get-togethers, always with the intention of seeing all his friends under one roof having a good time.
Witty, cynical, at times self-deprecating and always clever. Ryan's sense of humor revealed his intelligence. He was unusually smart. He surrounded himself with smart people. I was intimidated by such intelligence and I still feel slow and clumsy in comparison. He was in the gifted program and he was a national merit semi-finalist. He studied biology — in his father's footsteps — and wanted to go to medical school. He helped me in my life and he helped many others. I am sure he would have helped countless people.
Travis, Scott and I would talk about Ryan's resilience, his responsibility and how much he had overcome. He was making a difference. His efforts coaching youth basketball and mentoring in after-school programs inspired those around him. He reminded me that if you give to others, you will be given back much more in your heart.
He is the only person ever to buy a work of my art, and the only person to even express an interest in
Ryan, Travis, Scott and I graduated high school together and went away to college together. We learned together and lived together. Our friendship gives me such happiness. Like the air, I breathe it in, and hold it inside of me, only partially aware that it is keeping me alive.
I was not with Ryan the day he died. But I had the privilege of spending so many perfect days with him, learning from him and finding comfort in him. He was a caring son, brother, uncle and friend. He remains with those who knew him, those who love him and those who are inspired by him. He still helps us. He still supports us. He is still with us. I love you Ryan, I love you, I love you, I love you.
He would make us roll with laughter. He talked about "keeping it real" to make light of many LETTER GUIDELINES

to let him in for free, but he always insisted on paying. He always brought people with him, and he was always encouraging. The way he was always there for me makes it impossible to imagine life without him. I cannot think of a time when he did not support me or his other friends. He deserves credit for guiding my development in music and that of many other people, including his brother and sister.

protestors hold signs along 23rd and Iowa streets during a silent anti-abortion protest Sunday afternoon. Protesters walked from St. Lawrence Catholic Center to the protest site where they stayed from about 12:30 to 2 p.m. The protest was organized by Life Chain, an anti-abortion organization.

Students stand silent for life
65 people show support for annual protest against abortion
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
About 65 people stood silently, holding signs Sunday afternoon from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. at the corner of 23rd and Iowa streets on West Campus in an annual protest against abortion.
The group walked from the St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road, to the protest site holding signs that said phrases such as "Abortion Kills Children," "Lord, Forgive Us and Our Nation" and "Abortion Hurts Women."
The anti-abortion organization Life Chain organizes a protest every year on Oct. 1. This protest was one of more than 1,200 nationwide and in Canada, according to Life Chain's Web site, www.lifechain.net.
Katy Cortese, co-president of KU Students for Life, participated in the protest. She said she thought about half of the participants were KU students.
Cortese, Des Moines, Iowa,
sophomore, said her Catholic faith
taught her to value human life from
conception to natural death. She said she really wanted to get involved after listening to a woman talk about her experience with having an abortion.
"She talked about the emotional damage she had felt," Cortese said.
Life Chain believed some of the problems America faces today are related to legal abortion in America.
he said. Poulin said he hoped being involved in Students for Life and participating in activities would educate people about abortion.
"We want people to respect life. Life is the very first gift that God gives us."
Andrew Poulin, St. Louis sophomore, participated in the March for Life abortion protest in Washington D.C. last year as well as the protest Sunday.
REV. ZACHARY SHALLOW St. Lawrence Catholic Center
The organization associated legalized abortion with terrorist threats America faces, according to a press release.
"Right now it's politically a big issue that needs to be taken care of,"
Cortese said KU Students for Life is planning a protest in Topeka in November but hasn't set a date.
The Rev. Zachary Shallow of St. Lawrence Catholic Center said the protest was a way to manifest God's love in a peaceful way.
"We want people to respect life," he said. "Life is the very first gift
that God gives us."

NATION FBI digs for connections between mob, terrorists
WASHINGTON — The FBI's top counterterrorism official harbors lots of concerns: weapons of mass destruction, undetected homegrown terrorists and the possibility that old-fashioned mobsters will team up with al-Qaida for the right price.
Though there is no direct evidence yet of organized crime collaborating with terrorists, the first hints of a connection surfaced in a recent undercover FBI operation. Agents stopped a man with alleged mob ties from selling missiles to an informant posing as a terrorist middleman.
That case and other factors are heightening concerns about a real-life episode of the Sopranos teaming with Osama bin Laden's followers.

"We are continuing to look for a nexus," said Joseph Billy Jr., the FBI's top counterterrorism official. "We are looking at this very aggressively."
KU grad finds career writing 'Star Trek' books, short stories
The new strategy involves an analysis of nationwide criminal investigations, particularly white collar crime, side by side with intelligence and terrorist activity.
Associated Press
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Now an adult, Dilmore uses that same imagination to write "Star Trek" books.
As children, Kevin Dilmore and his friends used to play "Star Trek" in his backyard with their own "Star Trek" paraphernalia, using flashlights as phagers and tape recorders as tricorders.
Dilmore, a 1988 KU graduate and Prairie Village resident, enjoyed "Star Trek" from a young age. In addition to inventing science-fiction scenarios in his yard, as a boy, he watched the cartoon version of "Star Trek." He was unaware that a show with live actors existed until a neighbor broke the news to him.
Dilmore aspired to make movies like "Star Wars" and studied film at the University of Kansas,
"The big kid that lived across the street was the one that said, hey dummy, that's a real show too," Dilmore said.
but abandoned these ambitions after graduating because of the difficulty of finding a job in the film industry. Instead, he came back to the University to study journalism and worked as a reporter for 15 years.
"Kevin basically hung up the phone with John and immediately dialed me up for help because he thought he had dug himself into a hole." Ward said.
Ward had previously written "Star Trek" stories and agreed to help Dilmore write the book. Their first collaboration, "Interphase," was published electronically in 2001 and printed in 2002.
The pair has written 11 Star Trek novellas, three full-length books and a handful of short stories, which Dilmore said they usually plan over chicken wings and beer. Dilmore quit his reporting job when the first book was published and now works as a senior card writer at Hallmark cards.
He and Ward signed copies of their books at the Free State FreeCon comic book and toy convention at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Lawrence Saturday.
Dave Bohanon, KU graduate and Lawrence resident, has know
"His stories are easy to read because you can tell he has a big grounding in what he writes."
DAVE BOHANON KU graduate
Dilmore's passion for "Star Trek" didn't extend beyond the loyalty and enthusiasm of a fan until 1996 when he started working as a freelance writer for Star Trek Communicator magazine. In 2002, Dilmore interviewed John Ordover of Pocket Books about a new electronic book series, "Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers." Dilmore suggested a story idea for the series that Ordover liked. It launched Dilmore's career as a fiction writer. Dilmore said he panicked after actually getting the OK and called his friend Dayton Ward.

Dilmore said it's challenging

to write "Star Trek" books because there is a limited set of characters and fans have expectations of what they will do and say. Dilmore said that requires them to do a lot of research, which isn't so bad.
"Our homework is watching space shows and reading comic books," he said.

Nebraska senior Zac Taylor makes up for loss against Kansas last year in Memorial Stadium
BY SHAWN SHROYER
LINCOLN, Neb. — Zac Taylor didn't play his ideal game on Saturday, but he performed better than he did against Kansas last season.
Despite his low completion percentage, Taylor accumulated 395 passing yards, three four touchdowns and had no interceptions.
Taylor, Nebraska's quarterback, may have completed just 45 percent of his passes, but he completed the passes that mattered most and avoided making a big mistake.
"It wasn't my best game," Taylor said. "There were a lot of inconsistencies in my throwing. I missed some throws I shouldn't have."
To put those numbers in a better context, they only need to be compared to his numbers against Kansas
last season. Last year in Lawrence, Taylor completed 14 of 26 passes for 117 yards, and had one touchdown and one interception.
Taylor said he wasn't looking at this game as payback to make up for last season, but it was important to him not to repeat the performance.
On the second play of Saturday's game, Taylor took out some of his frustrations from last season, hitting receiver Terrence Nunn down the Kansas sideline for a 75-yard touchdown. It was the first of three touchdown passes he threw for 75 yards or more.
"It was big," Taylor said. "We try not to think too much about that game last year, but there's a lot of images you can't really get out of your head from last year's loss."
weren't enough to satisfy Taylor, but his plays in the clutch were the difference between winning and losing for Nebraska.
Nebraska converted just three of 12 third downs, but two came via Taylor's arm and the last one put Nebraska in position to tie the game with just more than four minutes left in the game.
The touchdown pass was another one of the 75-yard variety, but this one was to receiver Frantz Hardy.
Kansas junior cornerback Blake Bueltel was covering Hardy on the play, so Taylor and Hardy used their inside knowledge of Bueltel to beat him deep. All three players played together at Butler County Community College.
"Frantz had one-on-one, and it was the play we wanted," Taylor said. "I just threw
it up and let Frantz make the play."
Taylor also came through for the Cornhuskers while standing in the shadows of his own goal post. Nebraska started drives inside its own five-yard line twice in the first half.
Rather than run the ball to make extra room between the line of scrimmage and the end zone, Nebraska offensive coordinator Jay Norvell called passing plays. Taylor came through, completing passes for 18 and 36 yards.
As hard as Taylor was on himself for his performance
"We have a lot of confidence in Zac and we have a lot of confidence in our ability to throw the ball," Norvell said. "Some games we'll lean on the pass and we made enough big plays in the passing game tonight to get us over the edge."
Saturday, his completion in overtime put Nebraska in position to win the game.
On the second play of overtime, Taylor hit receiver Nate Swift for a 21-yard pass to advance the ball to the half-yard line. Running back Cody Glenn scored the deciding touchdown on the next play.
Fullback Dane Todd gave Taylor the credit he deserved for leading the Cornhuskers to victory.
"Zac is always on a pretty even keel," Todd said. "He's a great leader for us. He did a great job of keeping us up for this game."

That streak-busting victory will have to wait for at least two more years.
Kansas, though, finally showed signs that it was able to hold its own in Lincoln, despite losing its 19th straight game at the Cornhuskers' home.
Turnovers by Kansas offense dug the team into a hole and it was the defense that helped it crawl out.
The Jayhawks' defense forced turnovers — wumps by quarterback Zac Taylor and running back Cody Glenn — on the Cornhuskers' first two drives on the second half.
"That was huge," sophomore linebacker Joe Mortensen said. "We just tried to give our offense
chances."
After the first turnover, a fumble by Taylor, Kansas turned it into a touchdown on its first play. Barmann pitched the ball to senior running back Jon Cornish at the 'Huskers' eight yard line. Cornish took the ball, made a cut around the right side of the offensive line and strolled into the end zone for the eight-yard score.
Kansas scored again two possessions later, on the back of Cornish, who touched the ball on nearly half the plays of the drive that gave Kansas a one point lead.
From there Kansas and Nebraska each scored again to send the game
into overtime. It was the second straight overtime game this season where Kansas has failed to score.
The Jayhawks entered the game as nearly 25 point underdogs, yet had a chance to win on the final play.
"I'm looking at the big picture." Mangino said. "There were times when KU came up here and the Nebraska players were tailgating by halftime. It's disappointing, but we're improving."
FOOTBALL NOTES:
Meier update
Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier didn't play for the second straight game after suffering an injury
to his right arm two weeks ago against Toledo.
Meier came out and warmed up with the team, but did not play. Mangino said that Meier was not available to play.
"It's a matter of our medical staff deciding when they'll be able to clear him," Mangino said Sunday. "He's got to be able to prove he can do everything asked of him with a full range of motion on the practice field."

PHILLIPS (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
Not just tough, but smart, too.
Most other running backs would have stayed in the game. They would have either had to leave during overtime, at a critical juncture, or risk even greater injury than cramping by staying in.
The decision to take a breather is exactly what
Mangino described him as a "workhorse," and that's accurate. But he's also like any other football player, and 31 carries in a football game is simply too much
youth expect from a guy who hits the books as hard as his opponents. Cornish was on Student Senate during his first years at the University of Kansas.
to handle.
It's a tough position for the Jayhawk play callers to be in. Getting Cornish the ball often opens up the passing game, but those late-game carries were obviously wearing down his body.
Expect Kerry Meier's return to alleviate some of the pressure, but for the
rest of the season Cornish will have to continue to look out for himself if he is going to lead the Jayhawks to a bowl game.

Pop vocalist brings new appeal to Thailand culture
BANGKOK, Thailand — Tata Young is Asia's version of Britney Spears; Catchy pop tunes you hear once and can't get out of your head, stiletto heels and a dash of scantily clad, grayed naughtiness.
Tata's 2004 debut English-language
album, "I Believe," won her fans throughout Asia, placing her among a small circle of Asian pop stars to grow beyond their nation's borders. But Tata, the only daughter of an American father and Thai mother, hopes her second English-language album released in September, "Temperature Rising," will propel her to worldwide fame, and her determination is backed by the songwriters
"People who represent me have made a lot of people famous... like, come on, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, you name them all," the 25-year-old Bangkok native said, in a thick midwestern American accent that mimics her father's.
and producers behind the sounds of Spears, Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Out of fuel and with a 17-second lead, Tony Stewart glided to the finish line to win the Banquet 400 at the Kansas Speedway Sunday.
"When the fuel pressure gauge was at zero and the engine was dying, I just kicked it in neutral and let it coast," Stewart said. "I got to see the checkered flag for a really long time."
Stewart, who began the race in the 21st position, led for the final five
laps en route to winning his third race of the season. It was Stewart's 27th career win and his first at the Kansas Speedway.
The Banquet 400 was the third of 10 races in the Chase for the Nextel Cup, the final races of the Nextel Cup season. Stewart, who is currently 11th in points, is not in the Chase because only the top 10 drivers are eligible to compete.
"That is the thing about not being in the Chase, we can roll the dice," Stewart said. "I was driving half-throttle all the way around, letting the seconds tick off but trying to
keep some momentum in case it did run out of fuel."
Stewart wasn't the only one to finish short on fuel. Casey Mears also ran out of fuel but was able to finish fuel, followed by Mark Martin.
"It was a fuel-mileage day," Mears said. "When we got in position to save fuel, I did."
Jimmie Johnson led for the majority of the race, 105 laps, but with five laps to go, he was hesitant whether or not he should make a pit stop, deciding ultimately to stop.
"Coming into pit road the No. 9
spun out in front of me, and I got
back out on the race track," he said. "The caution didn't come out so we lost a bunch of time there"
The 75,000-seat Kansas Speedway sold out, despite a Chiefs football game across town.
Jeff Burton said the Speedway was becoming more enjoyable to drive on because it was not just a one-groove track anymore.
"This track today, you see more grooves than any other race here," Burton said. "I think that is a good thing. It adds character to the race and the race track."
While Burton remained the point
leader for the Chase after the race, he said he was not worrying about points.
"We've had zero conversations with this team about where we are in points," Burton said. "Our objectives and goals are trying to find a little bit better way than we've been doing it, and keeping ourselves in the hunt."
The Chase will continue next weekend at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.
Racing Notes:
**Robby Gordon** was the first racer to wreck. During lap 10, he spun off
the high groove in the fourth turn and lost control of his back end
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. finished 10th.
He remained in seventh in the Chase standing.
The race lasted three hours and 18 minutes. Eleven caution flags extended the race 40 minutes.

Rookie impresses governor, fellow drivers with spirited start in home state; early crash, subsequent damage end winning dreams
Edited by Catherine Odson
BY JEFF DETERS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — NASCAR rookie Clint Bowyer was running in second place until lap 172 at the Kansas Speedway Banquet 400 on Sunday when he spun into the wall and sustained severe damage to his No. 7 Jack Daniels-sponsored Chevrolet.
Bowyer, a native of Emporia and a fan favorite on Sunday, started from the sixth position Sunday and was leading by lap 37. With such a strong performance early on, Bowyer looked to be one of the favorites to win the race, but his spin and crash into the wall ended any chance of that happening.
"I was really feeling good." Bowyer said. "I just had a good car, just trying to make the best of it"
Bowyer pitted on lap 147 and won the race off pit road by taking only two tires. But his lead was short-lived, and 25 laps later Bowyer was out of the race.
Even though his first NASCAR race at the Kansas Speedway didn't finish the way he would have liked, Bowyer won the adoration of his hometown fans.
Bowyer got his start in racing on dirt tracks around Kansas and Missouri.
"Thunder Hill up in Mayetta, Kansas, was kind of my old stomping grounds," Bowyer said. "Then towards the end of my local career
around here was Lakeside Speedway and I-70. I won a lot of races there, had a lot of success, won a couple track championships, and a regional championship. That's where things really got rolling for me!
Bowyer eventually worked his way through the NASCAR Busch Series and earned a full-time NASCAR ride with Richard Childress Racing.
Though Bowyer is now part of one of the top racing teams in motor sports, he said his success wasn't really all that uncommon.
"Everybody comes from somewhere," Bowyer said. "All these guys in the Cup series had the same success I did back home at their local track."
While Bowyer was racing on the
track Sunday, he had one fan of prestigious stature rooting for him: Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
Sebellus said she has followed Bowyer's career and has enjoyed watching him succeed.
"It's fun to see him doing well," Sebelius said. "He is, I think, very Kansan through and through."
Bowyer said that while he skipped college to pursue a career on the race track, he was very familiar with the University of Kansas.
Bowyer, it seems, has made the right decision to pursue racing. His popularity, both local and national, has increased during time, just like the popularity of NASCAR. Bowyer credited the popularity of NASCAR to the people who watch it.
"I think it's how fan-friendly it is," Bowyer said. "I think on the driver's side the things that you don't like is what makes the sport good. Having a bad finish, getting out of the car having a camera stuck in your face and explain why what happened, running good wanting to celebrate having the camera in your face. But that's what gets the fans into our sport. Drivers are a lot more accessible than like a football player, a baseball player, and I think it's still
somewhat of a grass-roots, blue-collar sport."
Bowyer's talent and down-to-earth personality has been noticed by many in NASCAR, including teammate Jeff Burton. Burton finished fifth on Sunday and gave high praise to his rookie teammate.
"He has the ability and the personality to go a long ways in this sport," Burton said. "He will be somebody that you're talking about 10 years from now."

Cyclones breeze by Jayhawks
BY JEFF DETERS
Winning at home is vital to any team's success. But on Saturday night it looked like the Iowa State Cyclones were right at home in the Horeisi Family Athletics Center as they swept the Kansas Jayhawks 3-0.
The Jayhawks (8-7, 1 Big 12 Conference) never really got into rhythm, and the Cyclones (11-4, 3-2) had little trouble defeating the Jayhawks, 30-28, 30-22, 30-24. The Jayhawks have gone just 1-6 since their big win against nationally ranked Brigham Young University, and two of those six loses have come on the Jayhawks' home court.
Defending the home court is something Kansas coach Ray Bechard has often talked about this season.
"It is more difficult to win on the road, obviously," he said. "And we want to play well every time out. But you've got to make every team uncomfortable, and we failed to do that tonight."
In the first game Iowa State middle blocker Erin Boeve had six kills and finished the match with 17, which led all players.
Senior outside hitter Jana Correa led the Jayhawks with 14 kills and
also contributed nine digs during the game. Junior right side hitter/setter Emily Brown added eight kills and seven digs. Brown said she and Correa have been talking recently about what they could do to get the Jayhawks jump started again.
"I'm the type of person who likes to lead by example on the court," Brown said. "But if I'm not having a solid game it's kind of hard for me to find the words to say, and that's what we're going to work on going into practice."
And Bechard thinks practice is where the Jayhawks will recover from a three-game losing streak.
"Wednesday we had a disappointing night at Lubbock, and Thursday we really had a good practice," Bechard said. "Our kids came back, and if we continue to do that we'll win our share."
Bechard spoke from experience. His recent Jayhawk teams have rebounded after setbacks during the season and made the NCAA tournament. Bechard was confident this year's team could do so as well.
"We've been to the NCAA tournament three years in a row, but every year we've had a stretch that's been rough." Bechard said. "If you move
on, continue to train, and cut down on some of those unforced errors, you got a chance."
The Jayhawks committed nine serving errors in the game, and serving has been a problem for this year's squad. But Bechard felt confident his team could resolve its deficiencies through hard work at practice.
"The teams that tend to cave are the teams that don't bounce back after practice, and we've done that," Bechard said. "So that will pay off."
"Oh it's coming Wednesday," Brown said. "For sure Wednesday."
Bechard and the Jayhawks hope their efforts in practice will help them find that spark the team played with against BYU. The Jayhawks have been searching for it for a couple weeks, but it seems Brown knows just when and where it will return.
On that day the Jayhawks will play No.19 Missouri at 6:30 p.m. in Columbia, Mo.

SOCCER 1-0
Freshman leads Kansas to historic victory against Huskers
BY MARK DENT
LINCOLN, Neb. — The normally calm and collected Mark Francis jumped out of his seat with a cry of celebration Sunday as time expired in Kansas' victory against Nebraska.
"It was huge, especially coming here,"Franzis said. "Nebraska is one of the toughest teams to play in the Big 12."
Kansas (7-4-0, 2-1-0) defeated Nebraska (6-3-3, 1-2-1) 1.0. It was only the Jayhawks' second victory against the Huskers in soccer, moving the all-time record to 2-11-2.
"Ive never played at Nebraska before, but I could feel the energy from the girls before the game," freshman forward Shannon
The victory also meant revenge: the Huskers eliminated the Jayhawks from the Big 12 Tournament last season and the NCAA tournament in 2004.
McCabe said, "It was just great to beat them."
McCabe fed off that energy and wasted little time before scoring the eventual game winner.
On a corner kick less than a minute into the match, freshman forward Monica Dolinsky passed the ball to sophomore midfielder Jessica Bush, who was standing a few feet in front of her. Bush quickly returned the ball to Dolinsky, who crossed the ball to the left side of the box to McCabe.
McCabe received the pass at the top of the box, dribbled and fired it toward the upper left corner. The ball bounced on the post but skipped in, ending a run of bad bounces from Friday's 1-0 loss to Creighton. It was her second game-winning goal of the season.
"It was good to get one early and set the tone for the game." McCabe said. "It was about time we scored
a goal."
McCabe's early score was enough for Kansas because of standout play by the defense and sophomore goalkeeper Julie Hanley. The defense allowed only two shots in the second half. Hanley saved a season-high four shots and recorded her fourth shutout of the season. Hanley had three shutouts in Kansas' last five games. In the other two games, she allowed only one goal in each game.
"Anytime they got a sniff on offense she was in there," Francis said. "She's starting to come around, and I think it's helping us win games."
Hanley's help was not enough Friday against Creighton in a 1-0 loss. Kansas' three shots on goal all hit the post and bounced wide. Francis said he thought the team came out flat and didn't play well.

Fall softball is a chance to help players improve before going into spring play and Coach Tracy Bunge had plenty to watch this weekend, as the team won four games in Lawrence.

Barmann says he played bad; labels first-quarter play worst of his life
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
LINGCOLN, Neb. — Adam Barmann called it the worst quarter of football hed ever played.
In the first quarter of Saturday's 39-32 overtime loss to No. 21 Nebraska, Barmann tossed two interceptions in his first five passes. He didn't even complete a pass to his own team until early in the second quarter.
"I just played bad." Barmann said. "High school, junior high, peewee football, backyard football — the worst quarter of my life."
After playing nearly flawless football just a week earlier, it looked like the Barmann of old was back. He overthrew receivers, short-hopped passes to others and threw two picks in the span of just two minutes.
Barmann returned to the sideline after one of his early mistakes and received a tongue lashing from his coach, Mark Mangino. Unlike his freshman year, there were no comforting words for Barmann after the turnovers.
"I challenged him," Mangino said. "He's a senior, settling him down days are over."
Evidently the message worked.
Barmann led a serious second half comeback, tossing 223 of his career-high 405 yards in the final two quarters. His performance helped Kansas tie the game with less than a minute to play in the fourth quarter. Despite the rally, it was a familiar ending for Kansas on the road. Another overtime game, another overtime loss.
"We're not playing horseshoes, close doesn't count," Mangino said.
Close doesn't count for Mangino, but that seems to be as close as his team his come on the road in the past two seasons. Kansas' road losing streak is now up to seven, with its last road victory in 2004 against Missouri.

missed opportunities
While Kansas coach Mark Mangino said there was plenty to be encouraged about during Saturday's game, there were also several miscues that added up to hurt the Jayhawks. Here's a look at some of the plays that affected the game's outcome:
Senior quarterback Adam Barmann fumbled the ball inside Nebraska's five-yard line. As Barmann tried to rush up the middle for the touchdown, a Nebraska defender stripped him of the ball.
Senior long snapper Zack Hood's high snap on an extra point attempt in the third quarter. The snap bounced off the hands of senior holder Jonathan Lamb and was picked up by a Nebraska defender.
Tight end Derek Fine dropped two touchdown passes in the end zone. Both bounced off his hands before hitting him in the chest and falling to the ground.
After scoring a touchdown to take a 25-24 lead, Kansas went for a two-point conversion and attempted to take a three-point lead. Instead, Barmann never got a pass off, and was sacked after bouncing around in the pocket waiting for receivers to get open.

Cornish does the right thing by deciding to sit out
LINCOLN,
Neb. — With
Kansas down
seven and time
running out to
tie the score, Jon
Cornish proved
why he is the
smartest player in
the Big 12.
In the first quarter, when the Jayhawks fell behind 17-0, Cornish had four carries. In each of the final three quarters he carried the ball nine times, shouldering the load in a 39-32 Kansas overtime loss to No. 21 Nebraska.
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHILIPS@KANSAN.COM
When Kerry Meier went down with an injury two weeks ago, Cornish stepped up to be the team's offensive leader. New quarterback Adam Barmann has been effective, but the team rides or dies on Cornish's legs, which are, sadly, not made of steel.
Football fans celebrate heroic efforts by injured athletes, but Cornish should be celebrated for not pushing himself to that point in the first conference game of the season.
He finished with an average of 4.7 yards per carry, which will be enough to get him on the All-Big 12 team. However, he also finished with two sore legs, the reason he had to step out in the fourth quarter after 29 of his reps, or touches.
He left the game
The first two plays of the drive were both to Cornish, his 28th and 29th carries of the game. After that play he stopped for a second and grabbed his left thigh. He took one quick glance back at the huddle, then turned around and pointed at fullback Brandon McAnderson, cueing him to enter the game.
"This was the first time I have taken 31 reps," he said. "I was getting really tired, and my body was taking a little bit of a beating from the great Nebraska linebackers."
After sitting out the final drive, Cornish was right back in the game during overtime, exerting his influence not just by running the ball twice but by providing protection for Barmann to make his throws.
"I think he was cramping a little bit, but he is one tough kid," Barmann said.

Boardwalk resident Matt Showalter remembers that night one year ago. He lived in a different building in the complex, next to the one that caught fire in the early morning hours of Oct. 7, 2005. Showalter remembered thinking it sounded like it was raining hard that night, but it wasn't. He didn't realize it was the crackling of a large fire very close to where he and his girlfriend slept The police banged on his door to evacuate them. Very little remains of what was once an apartment building at Boardwalk, destroyed by fire last October. There are only a few reminders of the building where as many as 100 people once lived. A few charred pieces of wood lie in the grass near a tree on the south side of the lot while others litter the brown grass and weeds that surround the hole in the ground where the building once sat. Some roof shingles remain on what once was the driveway to the parking lot of the building. Jason A. Rose, 21, of Lawrence was charged with starting the fire that killed three people and badly injured eight others at the 500 block of Fireside Drive. The building, which had 76 units and was located on the east side of the apartment complex, was completely destroyed by the fire. Surrounded by a temporary chain-link fence, a rectangular hole lined with gravel, six-feet deep, 40-feet wide and about the length of a football field is all that remains. It is the intention of the owners to rebuild," said Mike Thompson, an attorney
with Blackwell Sanders Peper Martin in Kansas City, Mo.

No progress on rowing project
Construction has not yet begun on student-funded boathouse
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Construction is at a standstill nearly six months after students passed a referendum to increase their campus fees by $20 to build a new boathouse for the rowing team.
No architect has been chosen, no time frame has been given for completion and the city has yet to approve the site.
A
Sean Lester, associate athletics director, said the athletics department was currently facing several challenges with building the boathouse at Burcham Park, 200 Indiana St. He is confident the boathouse will be completed despite these challenges.
DeVictor said other concerns included the conservation of large cottonwood trees adjacent to the site and a bald eagle sanctuary located downriver.
Fred DeVictor, director of Lawrence Parks and Recreation, said construction would need to be reviewed by a historical commission before any work could be done because the site is within 500 feet of
a historical site. The athletics department would also have to apply for a flood plain permit from the city.

Graduate students no longer have vote Provost Lariviere revokes 37-year-old policy for finding, choosing faculty

Provest Richard Lariviere has reversed an at least 37-year-old policy that gave graduate students a vote during new faculty hires.
The decision came after several KU deans sought clarification about the University's hiring policies. The University General Counsel advised that students should not be allowed to vote on personnel issues, like the hiring of faculty. Students can only vote on policy issues, like dropping and
adding classes, said Lynn Bretz director of University communications.
The policy change has upset many graduate students. Andrew Ledbetter, a graduate teaching assistant in the communications department, said discussing the matter would have been helpful instead of learning the decision had already been made.
Provost Richard Lariviere's office directed questions about the matter to Bretz.

Poll shows candidates don't relate issues to young adults
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Editor's note: This is the first in a series that will run periodically in the days and weeks leading up to the November election.
A recent telephone poll found students were politically engaged by several key issues and want to vote in the upcoming elections, but they weren't hearing candidates address their concerns.
★ ★ ★
Job creation, the situation in Iraq and energy independence are the top issues for the 650 18- to 30-year-olds polled Sept. 10 to 17
The study also showed that 80 percent of respondents were registered to vote and that 63 percent had been paying "a lot" or "some" attention to the upcoming November elections.
Rebekah Romm, Bennington junior and treasurer for the KU College Republicans, said votes from the 18-to-30 age group definitely had an impact.

CAMPUS Items stolen from sleeping Oliver Hall residents
Unlocked doors at Oliver Hall allowed one or more suspects to steal thousands of dollars of electronic equipment from sleeping students.
Early on Sunday morning, the suspect or suspects crept into three rooms at Oliver Hall and stole several laptop computers and iPod music players, according to KU Public Safety Office reports.
The thefts allegedly occurred between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., and it's unknown whether the suspects were guests who had been checked in to Oliver Hall.
The total loss was valued at $4.400.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety office spokesman, urged students to keep doors locked even while inside their rooms, and to record serial numbers for all electronic devices.
The KU Public Safety Office asks anyone with information about these crimes to call the KU Crime Stoppers hotline at (785) 864-8888. Callers can remain anonymous.

odd news
Family shares birthday across three generations
AKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. — Twin
gate share a birthday not only with
each other, but with their mother and grandmother.
Andria Hundley gave birth to Kaitlin Marie and Malia Rose Zeh on Wednesday, Today's News-Herald reported Saturday. They had been due Oct. 20.
Hundley was born Sept. 27, 1978, in Westminster, Calif. Her mother, Roseaccioi, was born Sept. 27, 1957, in New York City.
"Everybody kept saying, 'Oh, wouldn't that be cool if you had them on your birthday?'?" Hundley said. "And I'm thinking, 'Nah, I'll probably have them like a week later so we all don't have to share birthdays.' And it just happened. And now that I think about it, wow, it's a miracle."
The odds of three generations from one family being born on the same day are 1 in 133,225,said Bill Bell,a Census Bureau mathematician,after another such birth in 1991.
Caracciolo was not present for her granddaughters' unexpectedly early birth. She was on her way to Mexico to celebrate her own birthday.
HOUSTON — An Asian elephant at the Houston Zoo gave birth Sunday to a healthy 384-pound male calf that zoof officials say is a big baby, even for an elephant.
Newborn elephant at zoo weighs in at 384 pounds
elephants normally weigh 150 to 340 pounds.
Zoo officials believe the calf born to Shanti is the largest ever delivered at a facility accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Newborn Asian
"He's a big guy," elephant keeper Martina Stevens said in a story posted Sunday on the Houston Chronicle Web site. "He's very adorable. Everybody is totally excited. We're happy that we have a healthy call."
Zoo officials say the size of the calf, which has not been named, could be due to its big father, Thai, or to the fact that Shanti was overdue.
The newborn stands 40 inches tall and measures 40 inches from head to rump.
Zoo spokesman Brian Hill said Shanti has accepted and voluntarily nursed the calf,
In 2004, Shanti nursed her first calf for about 10 days before rejecting it. That calf, named Bella, was raised by an adoptive mother at the zoo but had to be euthanized when she was 8 months old because she suffered complications from surgery for a broken leg.
The zoo worked on nursing exercises with Shanti leading up to Sunday's delivery to prepare for the baby.
Shanti and the baby will be off exhibit for an undetermined period of time.
About 300 Asian elephant live in North American zoos.

Kathy Griffin brings stand-up comedy to campus; she warns students to be prepared for dirty humor
BY BEN SMITH
Kathy Griffin says she is on a mission to learn the identities of Suri Cruise's real parents, explain her theory that Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King are slowly taking over the world and expound upon her obsession with Clay Aiken during her show at 7:30 tonight at the Lied Center.

"Oh, and I plan to swear," said Griffin, star of "My Life on the D-List" and Chicago native. "I swear a lot. I want to make sure people don't bring any impressionable kids and no snotty freshmen."
Griffin has gathered great enthusiasm among her many fans on and around campus.
Kim Nicholson, Leavenworth senior, saw the Emmy-nominated comedian this summer. She said Griffin was one of the funniest comedians right now.
Kathy Griffin is an Emmy-nominated comedian and star of the show "My Life on the D-List." Griffin will be performing at 7:30 tonight at the Lied Center.
"She tells it how it is and doesn't sugarcoat it for anyone," Nicholson said.
Stephanie Patyk, Student Union Activities special events coordinator, said SUA had originally tried to schedule comedian Darrell Hammond but she said he was unavailable. The organization contacted Griffin in August.
"We had seen her perform on her TV show 'My Life on the D-List' on Bravo over the summer and felt that her style of comedy just fit with what we were looking to bring to campus," Patyk said.
Patyk said students loved Griffin for her ability to make fun of herself as well as others.
Eric Steiner, Marion junior, said he didn't know who Griffin replaced, but said he was "happy to see they couldn't make it."
"Miss Kathy is exactly what this state needs: a breath of fresh air." Steiner said.
SUA expects a crowd of about 1,400 people. Tickets are on sale at the SUA Box Office on the fourth floor in the Kansas Union.
Griffin said despite the popularity of her show, she still thought she was on the "D-list" and would remain so for quite awhile.
"I don't think it's ever going to end as long as I walk down the street and people shout to me, 'Hey, Cathy Lee Gifford!'" she said.
Griffin said she was happy to be coming to campus because she loved college students. She said she preferred venues like the Lied Center that were designed for professional performers such as herself.

HEALTH
Watkins gets ready for coming flu season
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Flaharx, the flu shot, and the nasal spray vaccine, Flu Mist, will be at Watkins beginning the week of Oct.16, assuming the vaccines are received from the manufacturer on time.
Patricia Denning, Watkins chief of staff, said the center had plenty of the vaccine last year and ordered about the same amount this year.
Watkins Memorial Health Center expects to have enough of the influenza vaccine this year, despite a nationwide shortage of the vaccine in 2004.
Denning said the flu shot would cost $15 and the nasal spray would cost $28, but she said prices were subject to change. The vaccines will be available to KU students, faculty and staff aged 18 and older.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, the flu shot prevents the flu in 70 to 90 percent of young, healthy adults.
October or November are the best times to get vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Flu season generally runs from January to May.
The CDC said 5 to 20 percent of the American population contracted the flu each year. More than 200,000 people are hospitalized because of flu complications each year and about 36,000 people die.
Denning said 2,498 people received the flu shot and 30 received the nasal spray vaccine last year at Watkins.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department will hold a seasonal flu clinic from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 21 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Shots will be $16 for children younger than three and $21 for all others.
According to the CDC, people with severe allergies to chicken eggs and those who have had a severe reaction to the flu shot in the past should check with their health care providers before getting the shot.
Denning said exact dates and places the vaccine would be offered on campus would be posted online at www.studenthealth.ku.edu as soon as the vaccine arrived. The nasal spray will only be available by appointment at Watkins.

University of Kansas Medical Center to give first-year students more clinical experience
— Edited by Dianne Smith
BY KIM LYNCH
This year, the University of Kansas Medical Center's first-year students will have a new curriculum that will give them more hands-on experience earlier in their coursework.
Allen Rawitch, vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean of graduate studies, said the Med Center was moving toward a curriculum that
integrated basic science classes and clinical material in a more effective way.
As well as learning from textbooks, students will learn how to conduct mock physical exams and interview patients.
Rawitch said the first two years of medical school were traditionally focused on a basic science education with less clinical education. He said
the second two years focused more on the clinical aspect.
James Fishback, associate professor in pathology and curriculum director of basic sciences, said the Med Center was integrating the two by using several different disciplines when studying a specific organ system.
For example, when students are studying the heart they will study it using the disciplines of anatomy.
clinical diagnosis, physiology and pathology. Instead of the classes being taught separately they are now integrated, he said.
He said only first year students were affected by the new curriculum.
Becca Phipps, Lawrence first-year medical student, said the new curriculum was one of the reasons she chose the Med Center. She said she wanted to get involved with the clinical aspect earlier in her studies.
She said about once a month she would examine a patient who was played by an actor paid by the school. Based on symptoms the actor describes, as well as questions she asks, Phipps tries to determine what is wrong with the patient. The interviews are taped and then the actor and professors give feedback about what she could improve.
She said the school had been very receptive and responsive to student suggestions and asked for feedback frequently.

4A NEWS BOARDWALK (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
THE UNIVERSITY BABY KANSAS
TUESDAY,OCTOBER 3,2006
Thompson represents Terrace Management Services in Kansas City, Mo., the company that owns Boardwalk.
But there are no immediate plans to rebuild at the site because Boardwalk is currently involved in a lawsuit with its insurance carrier. State Auto Property and Casualty Insurance Company filed a suit against Boardwalk, disputing the amount of money the insurance policy is worth, Thompson said.
According to the complaint, submitted by the insurance company against Boardwalk, the policy is worth $2.2 million.
In a counterclaim filed by Boardwalk's attorneys, the owners argue that pursuant to the Kansas valued policy statute, Boardwalk is entitled to the total amount of coverage its policy is worth. That amount is $7.2 million plus a four percent inflation guard under Boardwalk's blanket
policy over the entire complex, a difference of more than $5 million.
In addition to the loss of the building, Boardwalk is seeking payment for repairs to another building that was damaged in the fire, payment for the loss of the building's contents, the loss of rental income and the loss of additional operating expenses as a result of the fire.
Thompson said the insurance company could be accused of "bad faith," because it failed to act in a timely manner. The insurance company sent a letter to Boardwalk five months after the fire, explaining the policy was worth $2.2 million.
The attorney for State Auto Property and Casualty Insurance Co., did not return phone calls requesting comment.
For now, the only change to the site is a makeshift memorial that rests along the fence.
Plastic roses and poinsettias sit in
the ground in front of the empty lot as a reminder never to forget what happened there.
Until the matter is settled in court, nothing will happen at the site. Thompson said the process, which began in May, could take up to two years to settle.
"You walk around the corner and see nothing," he said. "There's just a big void there."
Showalter said it was weird because the complex used to be enclosed with buildings all around.
Some Boardwalk residents referred to the empty lot as an "eyesore," but were still getting used to the fact that there wasn't a building there anymore.

VOTE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
He said without a vote there were few incentives for graduate students to participate in a job search. Even though their input would be sought, it would be severely undervalued because it would carry no weight, he said.
The counsel said that the change would protect students. For instance, if an individual were not to be hired and were to pursue a lawsuit alleging bias or some other mistake in the process, graduate students could be open to lawsuits, Bretz said. She said the University would not protect students because only KU employees are eligible for legal protection by general counsel or the state Attorney General's office.
Mary Lee Hummert, vice provost for faculty support, said although
student voting was no longer allowed for new faculty hires, the provost was clear that students should have input in new faculty hires.
Steve Himes, executive director of the graduate and professional association, said in an e-mail that he understood the need for separation between the responsibilities of faculty and students. But he said the matter could have been discussed before a decision was made.
"Considering that the Provost is upsetting a long-standing policy of many departments at KU, some explanation would go a long way," he said.
Bretz said the issue was brought up in a meeting of University deans, vice provests and the provost. Some deans did not know if students were
allowed to vote on new faculty hires and it was discovered that some departments allowed it but most did not.
The decision comes on the heels of other recent controversial actions, including canceling the subscription to turnitin.com and introducing a proposal for holistic admissions.
Hummert said she would be available to discuss the policy change at the 3 p.m. Senate Executive meeting at the Regents Rooms in Strong Hall. The meeting is open to the public.

REGISTRATION (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"Local candidates, as well as nation-wide campaigns, are beginning to realize that ignoring the 18-to-30 age group is a mistake and are doing a better job of reaching out to us," she said.
Congressman Dennis Moore, D-Kan., who represents the 3rd District, said he had heard this age group was disenchanted with the voting system but hoped it would make its views known by voting.
Moore's opponent, Chuck Ahner, said a lot of young adults were looking to the future and so was he. One of his focuses is making the domestic economy more competitive and keeping jobs in the United States. He said he was
Moore said his top priority was education. He said increased tuition and decreased financial aid was not only hurting America's children and their future but also hurting the economy because fewer people were getting an adequate education and entering the job market.
Kathleen Barr, national media coordinator for Young Voter Strategies, said the 18-to-30-year-old age group made up one-quarter of the electorate and was worth focusing on. U.S. Census Bureau data shows that the quarter of young adults will become a third of the electorate in 2015.
She said the organization had studied other polls and found that Iraq, health care, education and the economy were key issues but weren't being geared to young adults. Barr said students wanted candidates to make these topics relevant to them. She said candidates discussed health care for older adults but not health issues that were important to students, such as how to obtain health care when they graduate.
"It is too soon to say what will happen with voter turnout, but what we do know is that not only in Kansas but all around the country there are a significant number of campaign drives," Barr said.
She said Young Voter Strategies was leading one of the largest national efforts to register young citizens. They are on track to register 350,000 young adults by each state's voter registration deadline, she said.
The deadline to register in Douglas County is Oct. 23. In Douglas County, early voting begins 20 days before Nov. 7, election day. There are 12 voter registration sites in the city including Dillons, 3000 W. Sixth St., and the Audio-Reader Network, 1120 W. 11th St.

"It's of the utmost priority to get this thing built," Lester said.
Lester said no completion date had been set because the structure had not yet been designed. He also said the athletics department planned to hire a local architect to execute the project.

The rowing team has used a chainlink enclosure at Burcham Park to store its boats since rowing became an NCAA Division I varsity sport at the University of Kansas in 1995.
The crew team currently uses "the cage," at Burcham Park, 200 Indiana St., to store its equipment. Progress on the new facility, which students approved six months ago, is stalled until obstacles with the location can be resolved.
The athletics department currently pays no rental fee for use of the space at Burcham Park. DeVictor said he was not sure whether that would change when a new structure was built.
Of the $20 fee increase for women's and nonrevenue sports that students approved in last spring's elections, $15 is specifically designated to fund the boathouse project. Lester said that portion of the money collected from the referendum could only be spent on the boathouse and could not used for other projects within the athletics department.
The total cost of the boathouse has been estimated at $3 to $4 mil.
lion. The athletics department does not yet know how much money will be generated from students because it will be collected during the next three years. The boathouse must be built within this time frame to receive the funding from the referendum.
Rice was President Bush's national security adviser in 2001, when Bob Woodward's book "State of Denial" outlines the July 10 meeting in which Tenet said he warned Rice. Cofer Black, the CIA's top counterterror officer, was also present.
Lester said student fees would cover only a portion of the cost of the

project. He said the athletics department would consider the amount of money generated from student fees before soliciting donors.
》SEPT.11
— Edited by Aly Barland
New book claims government knew about Sept. 11 attacks ahead of time Condoleezza Rice denies that she received warning
SHANNON, Ireland — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she could not recall then-CIA chief George Tenet warning her of an impending al-Qaida attack in the United States, as a new book claims he did two months before the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
BY ANNE GEARAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
"What I am quite certain of is that I would remember if I was told, as this account apparently says, that there was about to be an attack in the United States, and the idea that I would somehow have ignored that I find incomprehensible," Rice said.
Speaking to reporters en route to Saudi Arabia and other stops in the Middle East, Rice said she met with Tenet daily at that point, and has no memory of the wake-up call from Tenet described in the book.
There was near constant discussion of possible attacks overseas, and high alarm, Rice said.
Meanwhile, former Attorney General John Ashcroft said Monday that he should have been
"It kind of doesn't ring true that you have to shock me into something I was very involved in," Rice said.
notified of any such report dealing with a pending attack on the United States. "It just occurred to me how disappointing it was that they didn't come to me with this type of information," Ashcroft said in an interview with The Associated Press.
According to the Sept. 11 Commission, Ashcroft was briefed on July 5, 2001, "warning that a significant terrorist attack was imminent." The report noted that the briefing addressed only threats outside the United States.
"The FBI is responsible for domestic terrorism," Ashcroft said. He said both Tenet and Cofer Black of the CIA should have been aware that he had pressed for a more aggressive policy in going after bin Laden and his followers in the United States and should have briefed him as well. Rice knew of this advocacy, he suggested.
Woodward wrote that the meeting among Tenet, Rice and Black stood out in the minds of Tenet and Black as the "starkest warning they had given the White House" on al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his network.
Tenet asked for the meeting after receiving a disturbing briefing from Black, according to the book.
A former intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Sept. 11 Commission and an earlier joint congressional inquiry into the 9/11 attacks were both informed of Tenet's and Black's meeting with Rice, when Tenet warned Rice that a significant attack was coming.
In a closed, classified session at CIA headquarters, Tenet took Sept. 11 Commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste, the commission's executive director Phil Zelikow and other commission staff about Rice's meeting with Tenet and Black, the official said.
The former intelligence official said the commission kept a transcript of that Jan. 28, 2004, session. A second official familiar with the document, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed its existence.
But though Tenet and Black warned Rice in the starkest terms of the prospects for attack, she brushed them off, Woodward reiterated Monday. He told NBC's "Today" show that Black told him the two men were so emphatic, it amounted to "holding a gun to her head" and doing everything except pulling the trigger.
Black reportedly laid out secret intercepts and other data "showing the increasing likelihood that al-Qaida would soon attack the United States." Tenet was so worried that he called Rice from his car and asked to see her right away, the book said.
"Tenet and Black felt they were not getting through to Rice," Woodward wrote of the session. "She was polite, but they felt the brush-off"
Rice referred to the session as "the supposed meeting" and noted that it is not part of the independent Sept. 11 Commission's report.
"I remember that George was very worried and he expressed that," Rice told reporters. "We were all very worried because the threat reporting was quite intense. The problem was that it was also quite nebulous."
Woodward interviewed Rice for his new book.
Rice's latest Middle East trip is focused on strengthening support for moderate Arab leaders after a series of backups for democratic and moderate forces in the region.

OUR VIEW
The growth of online technology has provided another remedy for students, as online auction and trading sites compete to offer the lowest prices on used textbooks. These sites,
Visit online auction sites to ease textbook burden
But now, both government intervention and the beauty of the free market threaten to break the stranglehold on cheap textbooks. The Wall Street Journal reported last week on legislation introduced in 18 states intended to help curb soaring textbook costs, a result of a recent federal study that set the average cost of books and supplies for a freshman student at a staggering $898. Most of these laws either empower professors by giving them greater negotiating power with publishers or give publishers incentives to explore online textbooks and electronic packaging. Other ideas on the table include textbook rentals and the cessation of bundling texts with study discs, handbooks, and other useless paraphernalia.
The peculiar racket of textbook pricing is a phenomenon that has always been all too familiar to college students. In what other arena can a business sell a product at an enormous markup, buy back the product at a minimal cost, and then sell the product back to the same target consumer at a huge profit? The apparent collusion between the oligopolist publishers has only compounded this problem.
embraced by free market theorists, are based on user exchange and can thus operate at minimal cost. By simply providing a forum for students to make deals with one another, these sites can drastically reduce the average cost of textbooks. Such economic rebellion can also take more traditional forms: This newspaper recently reported the efforts of certain University professors who are taking stands against inflationary textbook costs. These homegrown Norma Raes deserve further commendation for their agitation and advocacy on behalf of students.
It is so far impossible to predict which of these movements will provide the greatest relief to students weary of dropping a few hundred dollars each semester on books, most of which will likely go unused. Based on market creation of the past, we can probably say with some confidence that the online auction sites will have a bigger immediate impact. But with any luck, the government initiatives will lead publishers to finally recognize the ridiculous burden these high costs place on students. Students have long accepted these prices with a helpless shrug, but perhaps these new developments mean change is looming on the horizon.

COMMENTARY
Rethink how you drink
Perhaps I am spoiled, coming from a city that is said to be the first in the world regarding bars per capita, but the truth is that the Lawrence bar scene isn't that great. Don't people ever get tired of going to the same places that always play the same music and offer pretty much the same atmosphere?
Lawrence lacks a more bohemian atmosphere. By bohemian I do not mean the artistic qualities, but an uncommitted and laid-back environment in which one sits down and drinks for hours while talking. A bohemian atmosphere doesn't exist in Lawrence, or in much of the United States, for mainly two reasons.
YANG HONGQI
The first reason is because of the early 2 a.m. closing time. The measure itself is counterproductive. Instead of decreasing alcohol-related problems, it increases them. People drink quicker because they know they have a limited amount of time until the bar closes. This doesn't give people the opportunity to relax and enjoy a beer while engaging in a conversation. In Brazil, I would spend several hours talking at a bar without ever really getting intoxicated. This sort of environment provides a great opportunity to actually meet and get to know people and not just have someone grind on you while both of you are drunk.

the 21-year-old drinking age. The high age stipulation and prohibitive way most kids are raised with alcohol make a dangerous combination. Alcohol receives this rebellious aura and becomes a fascinating stimulant. When underage people are able to get a hold of alcohol they feel they have to drink a lot so that they can have the "whole" experience. The United States. and England are the only countries I know where it's cool to get wasted; in the rest of the world drunk people are seen as a idiots. For some reason American society puts much less effort into showing the benefits of drinking moderately than into showing the consequences of drinking excessively.
Also, Lawrence has a very large underage population, and those who can't get fake IDs become segregated from a large part of the bar scene. College students tend to have a great mentality for bar discussion because they are outgoing, impulsive, hardheaded, and have very different points of views, usually more
revolutionary, than older people. Their access to the bars would be a great contribution to society because in those environments wild ideas, philosophical thoughts, political conversations and criticism of establishment tend to flourish. This kind of environment is a catalyst for change.
Individual bottles also bother me. At every bar you go to here you see each person with his or her own bottle. I think this exposes the individualistic nature of Americans. It's very common in Brazil for people to go to bars and order a large bottle of beer and share that amongst themselves. Each person has a small cup and whenever someone sees an empty glass that person takes the liberty to fill it up. This really connects the people who are drinking together, for they are all sharing something.
There are places in Lawrence where one can sit, drink and relax, but that isn't enough. A couple of places here and there don't make a bohemian atmosphere. I do enjoy going out to a dancing environment, but I think there's a desperate need for more "sit down, drink, and talk for hours" sort of places. But even then something else is needed: Americans need to become more relaxed when it comes to alcohol.

In today's changing world,be open to the beliefs of others
BY BETH RUHL
KANSAN COLUMNIST

Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." We are a country that is living in fear right now. You can see it everywhere, from the government's reaction to 9/11 to the debate about intelligent design and evolution. People from diverse backgrounds feel that their core values are being attacked.
When people are attacked they often have a knee-jerk reaction to put up walls and lash out. The United States is still to this day suffering from the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by 9/11. We are increasingly isolating ourselves from other people to protect what we hold dear.
Our government representatives play upon this paranoia to further their own agendas, but in the end their actions are made just as much out of fear as are our own citizens. The world would be drastically changed if we did not have the world power that we do.
Globalization is coming, and it is coming quickly. We are having a hard time dealing with it. We are forced every day to deal with people who are different from us.
Structural functionalism, a popular worldview from the 1950s, says that there is an inherent structure in government and family life. Each person has a specific role, based upon factors such as economic status, gender, race and age. The idea is if each person does what he or she is intended to do, then the whole structure will be supported and work.
This idea may have worked to some degree back in the day, but it is no longer valid in today's ever-changing and emerging global society. We have to learn to work with people who are different from us, both internally in the US and in the wider global context.
I find myself asking, "Where will we be in 30 years?" Will we have learned to work with our neighbors or will we be in a Big Brother era in which the government is controlling everything we do? I worry for future generations.
We are scared of ambiguity, of gray spaces. I see this manifested particularly in the debate about evolution and intelligent design.
I am not professing that either viewpoint is right or wrong; rather, I ask people coming from both stand-points to be tolerant of one another. Learn other people's views rather than reacting out of fear or hate.
The people of this country say they love freedom, but there is no freedom in fear mongering and building walls that separate people. Reach out to people. Start talking about those things of which you are afraid. We need to begin the healing process.

THE GOLF CROSS COURSE
Annie Giangrosso, Overland Park junior, swings during the first day of the Marifynn Smith Sunflower Invitational Monday at Alvamar Country Club. Sixteen teams attended the two-day tournament. Giangrosso is tied for sixth after two rounds with a score of 154. The team will begin the final round at 8:30 a.m. today at the country club.
Players look to win at Sunflower Invitational
The University of Kansas women's golf team is currently in first out of 16 teams at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational at Alvamar Country Club.
The Jayhawks shot a 610 in the first two rounds, 14 strokes ahead of Arkansas-Little Rock.
Despite swirling winds that plagued golfers throughout the second round, Amanda Costner, Claremore, Okla., senior, currently holds the lead with a three over at 147 after two rounds.
"When I gauged the wind
before I shot, it would change during my shot. There is nothing I can do about that," Costner said.
Emily Powers, Quincy, ill., freshman, is currently in fifth place with a two-round score of 153 followed by Annie Giangrosso, Overland Park junior, with a score of 154.
Going into the final round, coach Erin O'Nell, said she was confident in her team.
"I am very happy with where we are right now," O'Neil said. "We handled the day very well."
The team won the tournament in 2004, the last time it hosted the invitational.

BOOT CAMP (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
Self added on to the running as he yelled, "Get up. Get up. It's all between your ears."
"I think I've been as hard on them this year as I have any time as far as what they're doing out there," Self said. "There's been other years where I've been verbally more like a drill sergeant. But these guys have responded pretty well and they're in pretty good shape."
Self said this year marked the 12th or 13th straight season he had run a boot camp for his team. Self attends every workout, often returning to Lawrence for the morning before heading back on the road to
recruit. Monday, he was recovering from a Rolling Stones concert he attended Sunday night in Wichita and after the workout, he headed back to the recruiting trail, with three stops to make before today's workout.
Veterans like Case are there to pick up their younger teammates physically and mentally when they fall.
Every year the workout is similar and it's usually the freshmen who struggle the most.
"Pat them on the ass and do as much as you can to keep their mindset right," Case said.
Boot camp is supposed to prepare the players for the start of practice on Oct. 13 and the long season ahead by shedding extra pounds they gained during the summer. Robinson said he had already lost 6.5 pounds since the start of boot camp.
"It only lasts for two weeks," Self said. "That's the great thing. When they get finished, they'll feel good about themselves. They'll be in the best shape they've been in in awhile and they'll be tougher because they know they can get through just about anything."
While boot camp tends to get
easier year to year according to Case and junior center CJ Giles, Robinson said the opposite was true when he made the early daily trek to the Fieldhouse this season.
"This year is kind of harder," Robinson said. "I know what to expect and there's no more adrenaline rushes as much as it used to be. I'm pretty much running on straight mental strength."

Racer shows love of college basketball
Get your Homecoming Issue on October 5
Jeff Burton talks about favorite teams with other drivers in the pits
BY DREW DAVISON
Besides a love for racing, NASCAR driver Jeff Burton loves college basketball. His views, however, may not sit well with Kansas fans.
"As long as everyone understands that the capital of college basketball is firmly based in North Carolina," Burton said with a grin on his face. "I know it offends many people in Kansas and Kentucky, but facts are facts, and nowhere in the country is college basketball bigger than North Carolina."
Burton means just the state of North Carolina, with NC State, Wake
Forest, Duke and North Carolina as college basketball's land of the surge.
"It is hard to separate that region there," Burton said. "It's hard to say there is any state that has more powerhouse basketball than that."
Kansas may have Jayhawk basketball as a powerhouse team, but its neighbor to the west in Manhattan has not had as much success at the national level.
Burton said he had yet to see a game in Allen Fieldhouse, but said he loved the excitement college basketball provided.

the athletes are just a few years older, but there is nowhere near the enthusiasm,nowhere near the excitement," he said. "College basketball is such a great environment."
While Burton is not a Roy Williams-led Tar Heel fan, he is an avid Duke Blue Devil basketball fan. In fact, he is frequently seen wearing a "Cameron Crazie" T-shirt.
"You can sleep well at night knowing I'm not a Carolina fan," he said. "My father raised me better than that."
Even though Burton is a Duke fan, his teammate, Kansas native Clint Bowyer, was raised in Jayhawk country.
"Oh yeah, definitely. I'm a jayhawk." Bowyer said.
Outside of talking trash about college basketball, Burton, the points leader for NASCAR's Chase for the Nextel Cup, said Bowyer had added a lot to the Richard Childress Racing Team in his rookie season.
"Clint's done a hell of a good job"
Burton said.
Seven races remain in the Chase, but with the college basketball season a little more than a month away, the teammates will soon be talking basketball in the pits.

Chiefs defense returns
》 'HORN BORN 'HAWK BRED
Shutout against 49ers brings back memories of former greatness
15
Remember 1997? That year, everything seemed to be just as it should. Kansas was a heavy favorite to win college basketball's national title and the Chiefs had a great defense.
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN COLUMNIST
TROBINETT KANSAN.COM
It shouldn't be difficult to reminisce, because the same situation is right in front of your eyes; 2006 is eerily similar.
They haven't yielded a touchdown in 10 quarters of football. That's 150 minutes of game time. In the NFL, no matter who the opponent is, that's great.
I got the feeling on Sunday, when Kansas City obliterated San Francisco 41-0 and recorded its first shutout since 2002. I can hear the voices of dissent: San Francisco is terrible and shutting them out doesn't mean the Chiefs have a great defense again.
The Chiefs are finally fast, athletic, cooperative and intelligent enough to keep the other team out of the end zone. They even know how to tackle someone on the first hit, something I haven't seen out of the Chiefs since, well, 1997. And
on Sunday they shut out an offense that had been productive so far, one that had made big strides since last year.
But the Chiefs aren't just stopping the 49ers.
Second-year San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith hadn't thrown an interception since his rookie campaign, an impressive three-game streak considering last season's struggles. On Sunday, however, he threw two, one of which went to newly acquired cornerback Ty Law. It was his first interception as a Chief.
With Law helping the secondary by shutting down the opposing team's best receiver, the linebackers were blitzing and succeeding. Smith had only been sacked four times during his first three games.
The Chiefs sacked Smith five times, a nice change of pace from quarterbacks sitting endlessly in the pocket and picking the Kansas City defense apart.
Kansas City's run defense deserves credit too. San Francisco's rushing attack was held to 93 yards, 20 below its season average. It all goes back to the secondary. Kansas City was able to stop San Francisco because the secondary didn't let anyone open, while the rest of the defense concentrated on the run, all signs of a coherent unit.
Great defensive football is back in Kansas City. Too bad it didn't come three years ago, when the Kansas City offense was one of the best in the NFL.
Anyway, I sure did miss it. My only regret is that I didn't start the Chiefs defense in my fantasy football league.

Mangino to thank for Kansas' recent success
Saturday's game gives coach, team a good reputation despite problems with offense, recruitment
LINCOLN, Neb. — As one of the few pebbles of blue surrounded by a garden of overzealous red — a reporter masquerading as a fan — I was convinced the Jayhawks would roll up to Lincoln and get blown out.
And after the first quarter, that prediction looked like a safe bet. But that's why coach Mark Mangino makes the big bucks.
BY DEJUAN ATWAY
KANSAN COLUMNIST
DATWAY@KANSAN.COM
Mangino showed why he is worth his $1.5 million contract, and also showed why Lew Perkins made the right choice to leave the football program in Mangino's capable hands.
Kansas needs Mark Mangino.
In the past, I have been critical of the direction of the program. There have been two big question marks during Mangino's reign: the lack of an offensive production and the inability to recruit a big-time playmaker at wide receiver.
All of that changed during Kansas' 39-23 overtime loss on Saturday. The Jayhawks looked doomed after a disastrous first quarter, which included two interceptions and 16 yards of offense. With a loud, boisterous, hostile environment, Kansas could have given up like past squads would have. But the team, led by Jon Cornish and Adam Barmann, rebounded to take the lead in the fourth quarter, completely silencing
And while moral victories are still losses, respect and admiration from your opponents is something you cannot recruit, it can only be obtained on the playing field. Saturday the Jayhawks proved they will have all of their opponents' attention in the foreseeable future.

of numerous BCS appearances, but he has planted the seeds of change that have led the Jayhawks to the land of respectability. In the past few years, Kansas had Texas on the ropes in Lawrence, played a gritty game against Oklahoma and came within an overtime period of beating mighty Nebraska in Lincoln.
The Jayhawks amassed 574 yards of offense against the dreaded pinkshirt — excuse me — blackshirt defense.
After the complete mess the Kansas program was left in during the Terry Allen era, Mangino has recruited better, coached better and headed the team toward greener Big-12 pastures.

Teams face same struggles after weekend losses
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Two games and two heart-breaking losses equal one challenge this week for Kansas and Texas A&M.
Both teams enter Saturday's game after tough losses this weekend. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino and Texas A&M football coach Dennis Franchione know one of their toughest jobs this week will be helping their teams rebound.
Texas A&M was stunned by
Kansas lost to No. 21 Nebraska in overtime, after mounting a second-half comeback to tie the game at the end of regulation.
Texas Tech's 37-yard, last-minute touchdown, which won the game. Before the Red Raiders struck downfield, the Aggies took a one-point lead with a field goal just minutes before.
"Certainly losing a tough game in overtime is a tough pill for our kids and all of us to swallow," Mangino said during Monday's Big 12 Conference Football Coaches' Teleconference. "But our kids have shown time and time again that they bounce back."
Reboundingfromthosecloselosses has been tough for the Jayhawks and Aggies. Kansas is just 3-5 in
games following a loss by seven or fewer points since Mangino became coach. The most recent of those victories came last week against South Florida. In Franchione's three seasons in College Station, Texas, the Aggies are 1-2 in its past close-loss games.
Both Mangino and Franchione said the key to rebounding from close losses was not to dwell on the past.
"Whether it was a W or an L, you can't let the last game affect the next game," Franchione said. "This will be a tough football game. You've got to be ready to play week in and
week out."
Kansas may have an advantage this week playing at home, where it has won a school-record nine straight games. A stretch of two straight home games may be just what the Jayhawks need to rebound from another close road defeat.
"I think our kids always bounce back, no matter where they're going to play," Mangino said.
A&M has won just one of its past seven road games.
Football Notes:
Kansas' home game on Oct.14
Kickoff announced:
against Oklahoma State will kick off at 1 p.m. and will not be televised.
Meier update:
Mangino said there was a chance that freshman quarterback Kerry Meier could play in Saturday's game against A&M. Mangino said he was told by Meier that he "feels a lot better." Before he will be allowed to play, Meier must get clearance from the team's medical staff and show Mangino he can throw without pain.
"If those things come together," Mangino said. "There's a good chance he'll play this week."
He missed his second-straight
start this weekend after suffering an undisclosed injury in the loss to Toledo.
Groundbreaking Friday:
The ceremonial groundbreaking for the Anderson Family Football Complex will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Memorial Stadium. Construction on the $31-million complex will begin at the end of the season.

The junior guard pulled himself out of bed and walked to Allen Fieldhouse in the pitch-black morning for treatment of a few minor injuries before enduring coach Bill Self's version of two weeks of hell. Monday began the second and final week of Self's annual boot camp.

"It's definitely not heaven" junior guard Jeremy Case said.
Strength and conditioning trainer Andrea Hurly welcomed the players at 5:45 Monday morning for 15 minutes of stretching and light jogging. At 6 a.m. the players began a grueling 53-minute workout with Self that included jumping rope, defensive drills, sprints, grimaces and puddles of sweat.
The toughest part of boot camp for the players is not the running, but the early wake-up call and walk to the Fieldhouse.

Incoming freshman could take command as team's new leader
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
For a Kansas basketball team without seniors, finding a vocal court leader this season could be difficult. Three of the four leading scorers from a year ago will be sophomores, but points don't necessarily translate into leadership.
learning scorer from last year, is the obvious choice. Last year's starting point guar d emerged
Junior Russell Robinson, the

as the type of player who
coach Bill Self could see taking on that leadership duty, but he said he wouldn't be shocked if incoming freshman Sherron Collins stepped into that role.
"Sherron has more natural leadership ability than most our guys because he's more naturally vocal," Self said.
Collins' roommate, freshman guard Brady Morningstar, agreed with Self.
"He brings a great attitude and another floor leader on the court," Morningstar said.
Collins, a highly touted recruit from Crane High School in Chicago, may turn out to be a leader on this year's team, but it was his
athletic ability that caught the eyes of most fans. The 5-foot-11 guard doesn't have stereotypical basketball height and he looks more like a running back than a point guard. He excelled in both football and baseball in addition to basketball in high school. What Collins lacks in height he makes up for with pure athleticism.
Morningstar said that Collins was the quickest person he had ever been around and that Collins' ball handling was "unbelievable."
Collsm may not throw a pass off the backboard to himself in a game this season, like he did during last spring's McDonalds All-American game, but it may have given Kansas fans and his teammates a glimpse of the kind of athleticism Collins possesses.
When asked if it was all right that people remembered him for that dunk, Collins said he wouldn't have it any other way.
Morningstar said Collins was tired his first few days on campus when he arrived during the summer and had some trouble jumping to dunk.
"He said 'I can dunk,' and I said 'I know, I saw you on TV'," Morningstar said.
Collis' athleticism isn't the only thing he'll add to the layhawks next season. His addition could make the already strong back-court of Robinson, sophomore Mario Chalmers and junior Jeremy Case even stronger. Collins would also add a competitive element
to the team next season. Self said Robinson and Chalmers would agree with that.
Robinson, Chalmers and Collins could vie for the two starting guard spots before the season begins Nov. 2, with an exhibition against Washburn in Allen Fieldhouse; Last year's starters, Robinson and Chalmers, would be the favorites, but Self said everyone had work to do.
"We'll play the best guys." Self said.
Collins said he thought he could be the missing piece to a team that finished strong last year by winning the Big 12 Conference tournament, but fell short in the NCAA tournament, losing to Bradley in the first round.
"I don't want to bad mouth any one," he said, and described how he thought he could help with the backcourt by controlling turnovers and putting the ball in the basket.
"I love to push the ball," Collins said. "These guys will run with me."
1
Collins wouldn't make any predictions about how good a backcourt could be that included Robinson, Chalmers and himself.
"We'll see what happens," he said, and added that he thought it would work out.

BOARDWALK REMEMBERED
Though physical injuries have begun to heal for those who survived, most of the lost mementos and possessions will never be replaced. For the survivors, the only option is to try to rebuild and remember.
TRYING TO SURVIVE
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Part 2: Survivors struggle to get back on their feet
One year ago, Eli Greenbaum awoke to smoke and sounds of explosions. He thought he was going to die.
Greenbaum, then a Ph.D. student, jumped out the window of his third-story Boardwalk apartment toward the asphalt parking lot below. Two policemen held a beach towel to soften his fall; it didn't help much, but it was all they had at the time.
His girlfriend, Dawn Davis, had jumped minutes before him. "They just tried to catch her as she hit the pavement," Greenbaum remembers.
Almost a hundred people lived in the Boardwalk Apartment Complex building that burned down. And though three residents died in the Oct. 7, 2005, fire, the vast majority of residents lived.
The year since finds many residents struggling to regain their health and put back the pieces of their lives.
When Davis jumped, she broke her back, pelvis, tailbone and wrist, but survived.
Greenbaum was afraid that if his girlfriend didn't get out before him, she wouldn't make it out.
"She had a Chihuahua and was looking everywhere for her dog and breathing in all kinds of
smoke," he said.
She was so disoriented from smoke inhalation that he made her stick her head out the window to breathe.
"I think if I wouldn't have been there she would have died," Greenbaum said. "If someone was going to die, I wanted it to be me."
Davis' Chihuahua didn't survive.
Davis suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and was unable to be interviewed. Though she still has nightmares, Greenbaum said she's doing better physically.
Greenbaum didn't escape injury. When he jumped out the window, the bones in both of his heels snapped in half. He was wheelchair-bound until February.
A year later, Greenbaum can walk about five minutes before his feet swell up. After a few hours, the pain is so bad that he has to get off his feet altogether. He also wears special pressure stockings every day or his feet swell up.
But his condition is improving.
"I just walked all over Chicago this weekend," he said. "It hurt, but I did it."
Greenbaum is trying to move past the fire, and he's doing it while studying geckos. He earned a doctorate in ecology and evolutionary biology in

University resubscribes to plagiarism detector
Despite recent price increases, student privacy concerns University renews turnitin.com subscription for two years
BY DARLA SLIPKE
The University of Kansas renewed its subscription to turnitin.com, a service that detects plaquiarism.
The subscription expired Tuesday, but the University signed up for a two-year subscription, which would start immediately. Lynn Bretz, director of University communications, said the transition should be "seamless."
Four years ago, the University paid $6,000 for turnitin.com. Last year, the University paid $14,000 for the service. The University considered not renewing its subscription because of the price increases.
The decision for renewal came after the University considered a variety of other options and after concerns about cost and papers going into the database were resolved, Bretz said.
Bretz said the University was pleased with the cost of the service, but said she could not disclose the price until the contract was no-
Some students expressed concerns about their papers going into the database of turnitin.com, which holds tens of thousands of papers. Some worried that the company would use their papers as examples. Bretz said students and faculty would be able to remove papers from the database. She said the University would set up a system with the Writing Center to allow students access to retrieve their papers.
cessed.
The University initially subscribed to turnitin.com when 22 percent of 1,250 randomly selected students admitted to plagiarizing. In the same survey, 50 percent of students said it was easy for them to get away with academic misconduct.
Students have mixed reactions about turnitin.com. Stefani Rahardaj, De Soto freshman, said turnitin.com was a useful tool. She said the University should keep using it.
junior, said if there was no way to get caught he would be tempted to plagiize.
Faculty members are pleased with the renewal. David Dewar, assistant director of the Humanities and Western Civilization department, said he used the program when he had reason for suspicion. He had caught students plagiarizing before, but not with the turnitin.com program.
Jessica Mulvayn, Leavenworth sophomore, said the service was pointless. She said students who didn't plagiarize could get in trouble if what they wrote was similar to what appeared on a Web site.

"I think it's a good idea." Dewar said. "Anything that can be done to curtail plagiarism is a good thing."

Prices overall have inflated at an average rate of 3 percent each year since 1987, but textbook prices jumped at least 6 percent in the same time frame.
FINANCES
The study, "College Textbooks; Enhanced Offerings Appear to Drive Recent Price Increases," stated that students at a four-year university would spend more than 26 percent of their money on books and supplies this year.
Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.) commissioned the study with several other Representatives earlier this year because it was the top constituent complaint about education. The textbook industry is a "classic broken market," Wu said in a press release.
Textbook prices rise faster than inflation
Textbook prices have increased at twice the national rate of inflation over the last 10 years, according to a study released at the end of the summer by the Government Accountability Office.
"Every year that the cost of textbooks doubles compared to the overall average of prices is another year students experience an even greater barrier to a college degree," Wu said in the statement.

Linse Eriksen, Aurora, Colo,

this semester for her books, which
is more than the national average.
Eriksen is majoring in English and
many of her classes require multiple

"This semester was awful." Eriksen said. "The cheapest book I got cost $20."
Eriksen is getting frustrated as she spends more money on books each semester and her student loans pile up.
The study found that freshmen in 2003-04 paid an average of $898 per year for textbooks. That means students pay more than $28 per week for books — and some books may only be used a few times during the semester.
"It's just not necessary," Eriksen said. "Books don't cost that much to make, so they shouldn't cost that much to buy."
New college textbooks can be marked up 23 percent or more before a student purchases them. Used textbooks, which are generally in far greater demand, are marked up as much as 33 percent of their market value, according to

Sharton-Bierig is an industrial design major, but plans on changing to illustration. He says that drawing is his calling. It is not unusual for Sharton-Bierig to spend entire nights doing nothing but drawing.

Sharton-Bierig said that drawing offers limitless possibilities.
the game was good exercise and improved coordination. Sharton-Bierig enjoyed the game so much that he took the class that was offered last semester, and he now teaches a section of the class.
"At the end of the semester, I asked the teacher if a student could teach the class. I got an e-mail at the beginning of this year saying that I was going to teach," Sharton-Bierig said.
Sharton-Bierig said DDR was a different kind of video game, and it also gave him a challenge, so he could always improve.
The best part of teaching the game that he loves is that he can improve along with the class.

Someone sneaked into several Oliver Hall rooms early Sunday morning and stole several iPods and laptop computers while the room occupants slept. The Public Safety office issued a crime alert Monday afternoon and apprehended the two suspects shortly afterward.

Couple accidentally gives away $2,000 with shirt
CROSS LANES, W.Va. — Ruth Ferrell learned a valuable lesson when she donated one of her husband's shirts to Goodwill: Always check the pockets.
Ferrell said she never liked the red-and-black checked flannel shirt, which her husband Walter received as a gift. So she decided to donate it to Goodwill on Sunday along with other clothing.
But she had forgotten that Walter Ferrell had stashed $2,000 — the couple's savings for a trip to Europe — in a pocket in the shirt.
"He said in the beginning that we needed to put it in the bank. But I said, 'Let's just hide it somewhere,' Ruth Ferrell said Monday. "He told me where some time ago, but I hadn't thought more about it."
When her husband asked her about the missing shirt, Ferrell realized that she had given away more than a piece of detested clothing.
The panicked couple called Goodwill on Monday morning and Goodwill worker Marilyn Williams found the cash. Ferrell said the couple gave Williams a $100 reward, which she was reluctant to take.
"I know I'll start checking the pockets now," Ferrell said.

City manager answers to student concerns Corliss gives his thoughts on noise ordinances, nightlife and jobs for students
Corliss gives his thoughts on noise ordinances, nightlife and jobs for students
BY MARK VIERTHALER
David Corliss is the Lawrence city manager after being formally hired Friday morning at City Hall.
Corliss has worked for the city of Lawrence since 1990 in varying capacities, most recently as director of legal services and interim city manager.
Recently, Corliss sat down with The University Daily Kansan to answer some concerns that students have voiced over the past
100
several months.
Corliss
Q: The city of Lawrence Transit System and KU On Wheels have been discussing merging the two bus systems. The main student concerns are cost and control of the system. How will you address students' concerns on this matter?
A: Those are both import-
through good-faith discussions with student transportation leaders. It appears to be efficient to create additional transportation options. We have to look at the opportunity to merge. We can combine the benefits of a strong KU system and a growing city system. I
think we can make a better system for both the University community and the community of Lawrence as a whole.
Q: The noise ordinance in Lawrence has met with active resistance from students who claim it's unfair to punish students for occasionally making noise. The city currently meets with offenders on an individual basis to discuss issues. Do you feel the current law is serving its purpose, or is there room for improvement?
A: We're always open to improving any of our laws. However, it's important to recognize that we expect good, neighborly conduct from all citizens, students and visitors. Usually, when the police department tells people there have been noise complaints, most respond respectfully. It's not just a student problem. There are some who just don't recognize their responsibility to be good neighbors.
Q: With recent problems with house fires in Lawrence, will you address any building codes in the city that may prevent fires in older apartments and homes that students may live in?
A: We currently have very aggressive fire code requirements in congregational living. Working smoke detectors are required in every type of dwelling from multiple-family to single family residences. What's important is we have to look to add ways to get the message out to
home and apartment dwellers concerning the importance of fire safety.
Q: There has been an increasing amount of disagreement on the direction downtown Lawrence is heading. Those with non-alcohol serving businesses feel the increase in bars and drinking establishments is hurting business. How will you address their concerns and the students' desire for nightlife?
A: I think we already do that now. The fact is that downtown Lawrence already has a number of different faces. Downtown responds to a multitude of demands. During the day, it's the center for commerce. In the evening, the area offers dining and entertainment. At night, it serves for a different area of entertainment. I don't think one of these events is going to change the aspects of what downtown is.
Q: With rising tuition costs and the cost of living in Lawrence above the state average, how will you encourage jobs that would fit student schedules?
A: Economic development and the creation of quality jobs has to be a continued area of emphasis. The city clearly has to make sure there are great job opportunities for students. We understand there are traditional students who only go to school and then there are those who go to school full time and have to work to support themselves through school. We want to make sure there is employment for all the
different individuals
Q: How important is the relationship between the University and the city?
A: it's difficult to overestimate the importance of KU. It's very important to the city's identity and its economic health. A strong and vibrant KU helps Lawrence. On the same token, a strong and vibrant Lawrence is extremely important for KU. The city needs to be an attraction for students and faculty and staff. It also needs to be an attraction for those visiting. KU thrives as Lawrence thrives.
Q: After the recent hit and run accident on Kentucky Street, what steps will you take to make the campus area and residential neighborhoods safer for pedestrians?
A: We've got to continue to look at these neighborhoods to see if there are ways to improve pedestrian safety. However, it can't be based off of one accident, as unfortunate as that may be. It may not just be pedestrian safety we have to look at either. There needs to be some way for continual vigilance in alcohol awareness. Of course, I'm not being specific, I'm speaking overall.

Watkins revises policy to offer HIV testing during routine visits
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
HIV testing at Watkins Memorial Health Center could be as routine as checking your blood pressure soon.
Patricia Denning, Watkins chief of staff, said Watkins would make the test part of a regular doctor's visits after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revised its recommendations for testing last month. The goal is to make HIV testing a routine part of medical care.
The CDC estimates about 250,000
people in the United States have HIV and don't know it.
Denning said that in the past, Watkins had to talk to patients about their risk factors, assess those risks, council them about the test, and have the student sign a consent form. She said sometimes students would defer the HIV test because the test's preparations took so much time.
With the new test regulations, Denning said patients wouldn't have to go through the counseling or sign a consent form.
"When you come to the doctor for your routine check, for your thyroid test that you get every year, I can say, 'Hey, you would like to get an HIV test with that?' Denning said.
She said a goal of the new plan was that patients would no longer feel stigmatized that their physician had asked them to get an HIV test because everyone would be asked.
"We're not doing it because we necessarily think you're at risk for it," she said. "We're doing it because everybody needs to be tested."
Susan Iversen, Watkins laboratory supervisor, said between 460 and 470 students had blood tests for HIV at Watkins each year. Results are available a few days after the test.
Kristin Brumm, executive director at the Douglas County AIDS Project, said she thought the new recommendations were a positive step.
"It can take up to 10 years for people to develop noticeable symptoms of HIV" Brumm said.
Douglas County AIDS Project plans to offer free HIV testing within the month. The project offered free, confidential testing in the past, but couldn't offer the testing recently because of staff changes. Brumm said the employees were training new staff on how to provide the testing. The staff gave 324 tests in 2005.

Student helps professor find autism's cause
BY BEN SMITH
"Autism is diagnosed variably, generally, in many cases, when a child fails to develop language," Colombo said.
Anderson, whom Colombo credits with the conception of the study, said that this research was only the beginning of what she viewed as a career-long investigation.
"Our primary goal is to determine a method of early detection of autism in the stages of infancy or even prenatally," Anderson said. "And the study has implicated different neurological systems."
Anderson and Colombo used eye-tracking equipment to measure constriction or dilation in the pupils of three groups of children who were shown various images on a computer screen.
Colombo said that the study measured different indications of reaction, trying to measure visual attention markers in the child subjects.
Anderson said that if researchers could find a way to detect autism earlier, scientists might be able to pin-point the stage of development in which the problem occurred and then prevent it.
Kansan staff writer Ben Smith can be contacted at bsmith@kansan. com.
A recent research study conducted by a KU doctoral student might lead to earlier detection and possibly a better understanding of what causes autism in young children.
Colombo said that researchers across the country had been trying for years to discover a means of determining whether a child was afflicted with autism spectrum disorder.
Edited by Brett Bolton
Christa Anderson, graduate research assistant in the Bureau of Child Research, with the aid of John Colombo, professor of psychology, completed a two-year preliminary study to measure the pupillary response of children with autism.

》 ACTIVISM
Fasting, shirts help fight war
KU club plans activities to raise awareness about Sudan's genocide
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
One day of fasting isn't much compared to years of starvation.
But a KU club will make the most of it on Thursday, when its members will fast to raise awareness about genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan.
Thursday starts the group Fighting Ignorance of Global Humanitarian Threats' weeklong donation drive. Members of the club will collect donations on Wescoe Beach during the week, which ends Oct. 11. The money will go to Doctors Without Borders, an independent organization that delivers emergency aid, to help provide food and medical care for refugees at camps in Darfur and Chad. Group members will also fast all day Thursday.
Amanda Applegate, Wichita sophomore and vice president of FIGHT, said she thought people were detached from these conflicts in other countries. She said an event like the donation drive helps people understand that 400,000 have died.
"When you see a number that big, people may pay more attention."
she said. "The next time they see something about it on TV or see something in a newspaper, they will pay attention."
"Half the cast of 'West Wing' is doing it," she said. "It's a pretty big deal in activism. We're standing up and saying something is wrong and we need to be doing something about it."
Applegate explained that students would fast from any luxury item, not necessarily food.
"We're giving something up to remember that people have given their lives to unnecessary conflict," she said.
Mark Skoglund, Olathe sophomore and FIGHT president, referenced a quote from the movie "Hotel Rwanda."
"People are going to look at this genocide and then go back to their dinner," he said. "That's the mindset we want to avoid."
He said he wanted people to take action and go to the next level by spreading awareness. He said this could be done by taking part in a campaign such as FIGHT's, calling senators or telling others about the
conflict.
"When awareness translates to other awareness, that's another step" he said.
The fast is inspired by the national program DarfurFast, a national campaign and joint effort between STAND: Student Anti-Genocide Coalition and the Save Darfur Coalition. The event coincides with the holy month of Ramadan.
According to the organization Save Darfur, the three-year-old conflict in Darfur has claimed 400,000 lives and forced 2 million to flee from their homes. The organization's Web site also stated that 3.5 million people there were reliant on international aid for survival.
Skoglund said people participating have three chances to donate. The club will be on Wescoe Beach on Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and at Mass St. Dell, 719 Massachusetts St., at 7:30 Thursday night.

Proceeds from 'Save Darfur' T-shirts to fund emergency aid efforts
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Hans Tregear sat in class last week, having seen more news on the ongoing conflict in Darfur, and wondered what he could do to help.
That's when the Wichita sophomore got the idea of selling T-shirts to raise awareness and money. The sale begins this week.
"I have had a lot of people ask me what Darfur is, and it kind of bothered me to see that — with all the media and technology today, not everyone is aware of a genocide going on right now," Tregear said.
The Darfur conflict began in February 2003. The conflict centers between Janjaweed, an Arab milia tia group, and tribal ethnic groups. Most accounts estimate the number
of deaths to be 400,000, with more than 2 million displaced. The United Nations' official report in January 2005 did not find it to be a genocide, but many, including foreign affairs experts and American politicians, say the killing has genocidal intent.
Tregar hopes the shirts, the back of which say "Give Life, Give Freedom, Give Peace, Save Darfur," will help more students become aware. The shirts cost $10 and will be distributed Oct. 9.
Tregear's plan is for every student who purchased a shirt to wear it Oct. 10. He has invited the International Medical Corps, a nonprofit organization that provides health care and training to those displaced by the conflict, to come to campus that day to accept the donation. IMC has not
yet confirmed an appearance.
Ron Francisco, professor of political science, called the Darfur conflict a tragic genocide with no end in sight.
He said that no one wanted to go and stop it, because of the tremendous fatal risks. "It's like all genocides, which are tragic because nobody has an incentive to stop it," he said.
Francisco said that the idea of spreading the message to students was a good one, but that monetary donations would have a minimal effect.
"I think everyone should be aware that there is active killing going on, and yet I don't know what anybody can do," Francisco said.
Still, Tregear said he thought the effort would spread the mindset necessary to overcome a conflict like Darfur.

The North Korean statement did not say when a nuclear test might occur, but the prospect drew rebukes from Japan, South Korea, and the United States. The allies, along with China and Russia, had participated in the stalled six-party talks aimed at getting the North to give up its nuclear ambitions.
The announcement was not a big surprise to many observers of North Korea because U.S. intelligence reports previously had indicated that Pyongyang might be preparing

Many North Korea watchers believe the country's dictator, Kim Jong II, knows that all-out confrontation with the United States would lead to his destruction. Even if Kim seeks negotiations, though, the risk of a miscalculation that spirals out of control cannot be ruled out.
Edited by Natalie Johnson
It was the first time the North had publicly announced its intent to conduct a nuclear test. Previously, it
"It would be a very provocative act," Rice said. "A North Korean nuclear test ... would create a qualitatively different situation on the Korean peninsula," Rice said. "I think that you would see that a number of states in the region would need to reassess where they are now with North Korea."
During a visit to Cairo, Egypt, Rice said the United States would have to assess its options if the North carries out the test, without detailing what those options were. She stressed, however, that a North Korean test was an issue "for the neighborhood" and not just for the United States.
The North's announcement came as the standoff deepened over Iran's nuclear program, with senior U.N. diplomats saying six world powers would begin negotiations Friday in London on possibly imposing sanctions against Tehran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment.
The contradictory statement fits a North Korean pattern of ratcheting up tension on the Korean Peninsula, a Cold War-era flashpoint, in an attempt to win concessions such as economic aid. The strategy has had mixed results in recent years as the totalitarian regime sinks deeper into isolation and poverty, with China serving as its lifeline for food and fuel.
Yet it said it wanted to "settle hostile relations" between the North and the United States, and that it "will do its utmost to realize the denuclearization of the peninsula."
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called the announcement "a very provocative act" and urged Asian nations to rethink their relationships with North Korea.
"They are an active proliferator," said Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. "And were they to test and were they then to proliferate those technologies, wed be living with a proliferator and obviously wed be living in a somewhat different world."
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea triggered global alarm on Tuesday by saying it will conduct a nuclear test, a key step in the manufacture of atomic bombs that it views as a deterrent against any U.S. attack. But the North also said it was committed to nuclear disarmament, suggesting a willingness to negotiate.
The remarks appeared directed primarily at China and South Korea.
"The U.S. extreme threat of a nuclear war and sanctions and pressure compel the DPRK to conduct a nuclear test, an essential process for bolstering nuclear deterrent, as a self-defense measure in response," said a statement by the North's Foreign Ministry and carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency, DPRK stands for Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the North's official name.
Rumsfeld, in Managua, Nicaragua, for meetings with Central and South American foreign ministers, declined to say whether Pyongyang's announcement had triggered any changes in the U.S. alert status.

Plan aims to stop Iraqi violence
LEE KEATH ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A suicide bomber unleashed a blast in a Baghdad fish market Tuesday and two Shiite families were found slain north of the capital as violence across Iraq claimed at least 52 lives.
The U.S. military, meanwhile, announced the deaths of nine soldiers and two Marines in what has been a deadly period for American forces in Iraq. The announcement brought to at least 15 the number of servicemembers killed in fighting since Saturday.
Four of the soldiers were killed in Baghdad on Monday in separate small-arms fire attacks, the military said. Another four were killed
the same day in a roadside bomb attack on their patrol northwest of Baghdad. The ninth died Sunday when his vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb west of the capital.
Sunni politicians expressed worries over a new government plan to stop sectarian violence. The plan, announced a day earlier by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, won some praise in parliament Tuesday, but Shiite and Sunni leaders delayed potentially contentious talks to work out its details.
The four-point plan calls for creating neighborhood Shiite-Sunni committees to monitor efforts against sectarian violence. The aim is to overcome the deep mistrust between Sunnis and Shiites.

Many Sunnis remain skeptical that Shiite leaders will allow
"I haven't seen any real desire in the other side. There are militias supported by the government," said Sunni lawmaker Khalaf al-Alayan.
U. S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said that under the plan, parties that have militias have agreed to take "responsibility for what their groups or people under them are doing, ... committing themselves to ending the sectarian violence."
Still, "there are forces that are not under their control," Khalilzad said in an interview with National Public Radio. "But if they implement what they've agreed to, there should be a significant decrease in the level of violence in Baghdad."

SURVIVOR (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
January. Now he's working with an expert on geckos at Villanova, using DNA sequences to research how all gecko species are related.
In November, he'll travel to South Africa to conduct research. He also plans on taking an expedition to Congo next summer that will involve a lot of physical activity.
"It will require a lot of walking and physical exertion," he said optimistically. "I'm trying to work out and do all I can to get ready for that."
Greenbaum, however, had renters insurance, as did Brady DeSanti, who also lived in Boardwalk.
Aside from physical injuries,
Greenbaum lost all his belongings.
DeSanti has had renter's insurance since he moved to Kansas in 2003. The Omaha doctoral student lived on the first floor of the building that burnt down. His apartment was destroyed by the fire.
"Luckily I hadn't been asleep very long that night." DesSanti said. "I can be known as a deep sleeper, and in this case there just wasn't much time to get out."
DeSanti awoke to screams and the sound of glass breaking. He thought it might be a break-in or domestic dispute. "The last thing on my mind was a fire," he said. Then he smelled smoke and saw "pulsating red." That's when he fled.
After crossing the street, he realized that he hadn't shut his front door. He said he thought about how much easier that would let the fire spread.
It didn't make a difference.
"You replace stuff, you deal with
the insurance company, but all in all that's miniscule compared to a lot of other people." DeSanti said.
Some things are gone forever, some possessions have been replaced and others are still waiting.
DeSanti lost many family photos he'd kept in his apartment. Those are gone forever.
He's replaced most things that can be replaced, except some martial arts equipment, books and clothes.
Desanti has a new apartment and is working to earn his Ph.D. in history. He credits his colleagues and other students in a religious methodology course for all their help.
"There are always those things you're not going to get back, no matter how much insurance you have," he said.
People from his religious methodology class bought him a gift card to Target for "a substantial amount." His colleagues in the history department had a get together where everyone brought him things like gift cards and new dishes.
"They just went overboard with their hospitality to help me out," he said.
As for Greenbaum, he's gotten back on his feet, literally. He hopes to have a permanent job in a museum or zoological institution and to keep doing more fieldwork. Next summer, he'll take on Congo.

level of .148, nearly twice the legal limit.
"I feel it is appropriate at this time to offer my resignation as superintendent of USD 409" Branstrator said in his written resignation Monday. "It is important that I focus on and address the issues that led me to this decision."
Assistant Superintendent Corbin Witt will serve as superintendent for the remainder of the school year. School officials plan to begin interviewing candidates in January.
Branstrator is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 19.

KU Medical Center requires first-year students to buy tablet PCs for books
BY KIM LYNCH
Becca Phipps only carries a tablet computer to her Medical Center classes.
Phipps, Lawrence first-year medical center student, likes the fact that she doesn't have to carry books around and all of the features on her tablet computer. Phipps is one of the 182 first-year medical center students who was required to buy a tablet computer for her classes.
Allen Rawitch, vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean of graduate studies, said this year, for the first time, all first-year medical students were required to have the same tablet computer, for which they paid a fee that included packets of software and some preloaded textbooks.
The idea is to minimize printed material and paperwork. Class notes and podcasts for a majority of lectures are available online as well, he said.
James Fishback, associate professor of pathology and curriculum director of basic sciences for the first two years, said students paid a technical fee of $2,500 for the Hewlett-Packard tablet PC, which they got to keep. He said about 75 percent of the books were provided electronically.
He said the school paid about $100,000 on electronic texts, but that it was a first-year implementation deal only.
He said he thought the KU Medical Center was one of the first medical schools to go all electronic with textbooks. The student fee did
not include textbooks because the Medical Center promised to pay for books for the 182 first-year students.
Fishback said a few technological glitches had occurred with the computers but that there were several measures in place in case students had issues. There are computers on loan from the library. Also an external hard drive comes with the
Phipps said at first she was upset that she had to pay for another computer because she already had one, but now she loves her computer and the programs on it.
She said getting used to the technology was a challenge when she first started classes. She said she had also taken out insurance on her computer because theft was not covered by the warranty.
tablet, and students have to back up their files every day.
Ali Wait, Seblit second-year medical student, said she didn't envy the first-year students because they were having to experience all the glitches as the new curriculum got worked out.
Wait said it was more difficult to read long documents on the computer rather than in print.
She said that almost all of the second-year students had laptops and that at least half of those were tablets so there wasn't a stark contrast.

the report.
One major factor contributing to price increases is the CDs or supplemental booklets packaged with new textbooks. Publishers told the Government Accountability Office that they invested heavily to develop those supplements in response to instructors' requests.
In addition, publishers told the office that the number of revised editions has increased over the years, but that it currently remained stable. When an instructor requires the newest edition of a textbook for a class, students are forced to buy the new, more expensive book rather than older, used editions.
a letter to the Government Accountability Office to criticize the report.
Patricia Schroeder, president and CEO of the American Association of Publishers, wrote
The report uses "inaccurate and misleading data," Schroeder wrote, and its tone suggests bias against new textbook purchases.
"We believe that this report is being rushed to completion due to deadline pressures," Schroeder wrote. She urged the office to create a "more balanced and representative report" that took into account the AAP's own efforts to get textbooks into students' hands even if they can't afford full prices.

Shooter molested relatives
BY MARK SCOLFORO ASSOCIATED PRESS
Investigators also said that Charles Carl Roberts IV, 32, plotted his takeover of the school for nearly a week and that the items he brought — including flexible plastic ties, eyebolts and lubricating jelly — suggest he may have been planning to sexually assault the Amish girls before police closed in.
QUARRYVILLE, Pa. — The gunman who killed five girls in an Amish schoolroom confided to his wife during the siege that he molested two relatives 20 years ago when he was boy, and was tormented by dreams of doing it again, authorities said Tuesday.
Roberts shot himself in the head
when police arrived.
The death toll rose to six Tuesday — including the gunman — when two girls died of their wounds.
During the standoff, Roberts told his wife in a cell phone call that he molested two female relatives when they were 3 to 5 years old, State Police Commissioner Jeffrey B. Miller said. Roberts would have been around 11 and 12 at the time.
Police could not immediately confirm Roberts' claim that he molested two relatives.
Roberts had planned the attack for nearly a week, buying plastic ties from a hardware store on Sept. 26 and other items less than an hour before entering the school, Miller said.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Family prepares for new home
BY DANAE DESHAZER
For three years, Mindy Mies, a 34-year-old Lawrence resident who is visually impaired, has lived in a duplex that's so small she doesn't have room for a seeing-eye dog. Mies has to trust in herself when she takes care of her three-year-old twin sons in their two-bedroom duplex.
"When we moved, I gave up my dog. I gave up my freedom," Mites said.
But in February, Habitat for Humanity approved the Mies family for a new home. Comfort Neighborhood, the new Lawrence Habitat project, is coming to life. Volunteers have started building two sponsored homes. But with the rising cost of materials and supplies to build a house, Habitat for Humanity is having more trouble finding sponsors to finance the costs.
"After Hurricane Katrina, the cost of building materials has increased so much that it now takes $60,000 to build a home," said Ginger Ratzlaff, chair of fund development for Lawrence Habitat.
In 2004, the cost to build a Habitat house was $40,000. By July 2005, the
cost was $50,000 and it increased to $60,000 this year. Because building a home is more expensive, families are taking longer to find sponsors. Habitat will spend $385,000 to build the projected seven houses, and $540,000 to complete the neighborhood.
Since purchasing the four-acre site in 2004, developers have spent $520,500 preparing the 16-house neighborhood. Originally, construction for the first house was supposed to start in Spring 2006, but preparations took longer than expected. By August, the neighborhood was finally ready for development.
Aug. 19 marked the first nail-driving ceremony for the Comfort Neighborhood. Volunteers started construction on the second house on Sept. 16. Habitat needs to complete seven houses by June 30, 2007, and finish the remaining nine by Summer 2008.
Habitat will also spend more time building the Comfort Neighborhood homes than other houses. These houses are not being "blitz-built," which means that from the first nail-driving to the finishing touches, volunteers build the house within about seven days. These houses will take 12 to 14 weeks each
to complete. Ratzlaff said.
Mark Brooks, construction manager for Lawrence Habitat for Humanity, said that he does his job because of the amazing people that he encounters every day. Brooks is in charge of design and construction for the Comfort Neighborhood builds. Each house has the same design, with three bedrooms, one large bathroom, kitchen, dining area and living room. The homes are about 1100 sq. feet. Although the homes don't have garages, Brooks designed sheds for storage space. All sheds are 10 feet by 12 feet, which is the largest size of a building that does not need a building permit.
Volunteers start working at 9 a.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Anywhere from six to 35 people help out. Brooks also hires professionals, such as electricians, plumbers and cement layers, to make sure everything is perfect. Families also contribute to their home. Each family member must donate 225 hours to Habitat for Humanity, including 150 hours on his own house. Mies will do most of her hours in the Habitat office because of her visual impairment.
"This shows that Habitat is a continual process. We are all helping out each other," Brooks said.
Mary Gordon of the Lawrence Noon Lions Club, an organization that provides care for the visually impaired, is Mies' mentor. The pair have been together ever since Mies' eyes were removed as a toddler. The Lawrence Lions Club is helping to sponsor the Mies' new home. All 58 clubs in the Northeast Kansas district are raising $13,500. Lions International will match $11,500 of donations. Habitat will double its efforts as well, Gordon said.
"Mindy is like a daughter to me. We want to help her in any way we can." Gordon said.
Mies hopes that construction will start in January. "We are just so crowded. The older the boys get, the bigger they get. We really need room to stretch out," Mies said. "If we get this new house, I'll be able to have a dog again. I want ownership and a sense of community."

BUSINESS
Pendleton recalls the morning of the storm as if it were just another day.
"This kind of damage gives us an opportunity to make changes we wouldn't have made," Pendleton said.
Pendleton then went into the market and dove under a desk, seeking shelter.
Local country market uses microburst damage as excuse for upgrading
BY JARED DUNCAN
Though the damage was severe, owner John Pendleton still manages to look on the bright side.
One of the business' that suffered the most damage from the March microburst was Pendleton's Country Market, 1446 E. 1850 Rd.
After the storm had passed. Pendleton was left with acres of rubble where much of his farm used to stand.
Damage included two demolished 60-foot silos, a green house destroyed by debris, a grain bin and a 30-by-50 farm shop that were both blown away and a 50by-130 roof carried away by the storm.
Six months after the storm, John and his wife Karen are still cleaning up and rebuilding the 80-acre farm. But with only half of the $150,000 damage covered by insurance, the family has a long way to go.
"We had neighbor ladies cooking casseroles and kids dragging nail magnets around," Pendleton said.
To help with the astounding amount of clean up, the community quickly came to the aid of Pendleton's. Around 300 friends, neighbors and community service groups showed up the day after the storm to aid in the cleaning.
"The clean up is costing more than we have," Karen Pendleton said. "No one ever comes out ahead when insurance is involved."
Some volunteers kept coming out to the farm until every piece was picked up.
"The clean up took at least a month," said Matt Kirby, a friend who helped with the clean up. "But it was a gift to go over and help. They're good people."
The market was able to open on schedule on April 1.
Kirby recalls driving miles away
In addition, Kirby's musical group, The Alfred Packer Memorial Band, will be performing at the Barnstorm Benefit, a fundraiser on Oct. 15 at the Pendleton's farm to raise money for repairs.
from the farm two weeks after the storm and still picking up sheet metal.
"They're really good people and have done a lot for the community," Maria Anthony, benefit organizer, said. "A lot of people came out to help clean up, so hopefully they'll come out again and have some fun while helping out."
"The right thing for us to do is to go over and help these people, and I'm glad we did," Kirby said.
The Pendletons have taken their own steps in making up for the damage, as well. People can rent a portion of the farm for parties, including a large party deck. Prices range from $100 to $1,000 and can include a bonfire, tent setups and hayrides.
The Butterfly Bio-Villa is another new venture the Pendletons hope will draw customers. Measuring 20 feet by 100 feet, the Bio-Villa cost $5,000 to put together. Those who pay $2 to get in can observe and learn more about butterflies in an enclosed environment.
"We needed an attraction to replace what was blown away," Pendleton said.
"With this type of damage, we can look at the operation very critically and see if this business has a future," he said. "Fortunately, I think it does."
Kansan correspondent Jared Duncan can be contacted at editor@kansan.com.
On the wall inside of Pendleton's, a sign encourages customers to visit Davenport's Winery just a few miles away. Much like Pendleton's, the winery saw a lot of damage that halted business for a brief period.
"It put us behind in all our work," owner Greg Shipe said. "We got behind in the crops."
Edited by Mindy Ricketts
Unlike Pendleton's, though, Davenport's damage amounted to $12,000 and was completely covered by insurance.
With the benefit, Pendleton hopes his business can fully recover, but said that he didn't know what lies ahead.

Study abroad mandate unrealistic
If a Kansas Board of Regents proposal passes, future KU students could be required to spend a semester in China, Italy, Ghana or Mexico.
In a state that continues to increase tuition rates, the board now wants to force students to study abroad, with students likely paying the bill. The study abroad program at the University is first class, but no student should be forced to participate in it.
The goal of this proposal is to provide students with global awareness and help them gain a better understanding of a different environment. But the regents should look at the number of students who are already studying abroad before considering this proposal.
Nearly a quarter of KU students study abroad, which puts
it just outside the top 10 among public research universities in study abroad participation. A diverse foreign student population along with a high number of students studying abroad demonstrates a strong international representation at the University.
Also, where will the money come from? Financial aid is possible, but supplying enough for every student is far-fetched.
Every student should be encouraged to study abroad, but none should be pushed. If the Board of Regents wants to help students attain a global perspective without mandating every student to study abroad, the University has set the blueprint.

GUEST COMMENTARY
At its October meeting, the Lawrence Traffic Safety Commission (TSC) voted unanimously to recommend that the Lawrence City Commission reject a request to change the ordinance banning skateboarding on the University campus.
Skateboard advocates have time to fight if they can get organized
No one came to speak in favor of the change, but representatives of the Provost's office and KU Public Safety argued for keeping the ban in place. It appeared to me, as a member of the TSC, that supporters of a change are uncertain about the role of the TSC, the relationship between city ordinances and University policies — and most important, haven't engaged the KU administration or the rest of the University community in discussion about the skateboard policy.
OPINION
First, the request was simply to "revise" the city ordinance. How? Examples of policies at other universities were given to the TSC, but they are not identical. The purpose of a revision would be to allow "safe" riding while continuing to ban activity that threatens others or damages property.
The issue is not necessarily dead. The recommendation of the TSC is just that: a recommendation. City commissioners are free to accept or ignore our advice when the proposal comes before them, probably at a meeting later this month. However, they are likely to have the same concerns we had.
between proponents of change and the non-skateboarding community. The KU facilities maintenance and Public Safety departments clearly see skateboards on campus only as a problem. To convince them to broaden their view, responsible riders will need to meet with them — and provide clear evidence that a change will work.
Which brings up a second point: Traffic regulations on the KU campus are determined by the University. They are enacted into the city code only so that violations can be prosecuted through the city's Municipal Court. Before the TSC or the city would approve a change in the skateboarding ordinance there needs to be agreement within KU on the wording of any new policy.
Finding the proper balance will require work and a lot of discussion
The issue isn't dead for another reason. At the TSC meeting, the KU representatives indicated their concern about unsafe and destructive skateboarding on West Campus, which is not covered under the current ordinance. It is likely that the University administration will soon propose a different revision: to expand the ban to cover all areas of the campus. Skateboard advocates could use this as an opportunity to broaden the discussion.

Be responsible when you drink
I am writing this in response to a serious problem we have at the University of Kansas: drunken driving.
One person every 31 minutes died in a drunk driving collision in 2004, according to alcoholalert. com. I may just be naive, but I don't understand why lives must be taken in a situation that could be easily avoided.
There are many ways to avoid driving drunk. First, a call can always be made to SafeRide. Its number is 864-7233 and this service is completely free of charge. If SafeRide doesn't appeal to you, maybe a taxi service would be better. Midwest Transportation has cheap rates. Its phone number is 865-2872.
If neither of those options interests you, simply take turns with your friends. I would happily be the sober driver one night and have the comfort of knowing that the people that matter most, my friends, are safe.
When a drunk driving incident occurs, it affects many more people than just those in the realm of the accident. Family, friends, insurance agencies, police support, teachers and a community can all be affected. Accidents do not have to be fatal to truly hurt.
So I am asking those who are reading this to step up and take responsibility. Enjoy the party. Live up your time here at the University of Kansas. But before you take that last sip of whatever beverage of choice you are enjoying on a Saturday night, put your keys away and use your brain instead.
This year I am a senior at the University of Kansas. I can not even count the nights of partying I have been able to enjoy these past years — the good times have been immeasurable. Yet I also can't count
the number of times I've opened the Kansan on a Monday morning to see a student killed by a reckless drunk driver. Even today, as I write this on a "Tuesday morning, in the "On the Record" section of the paper, out of four reports, two of them were alcohol related, one dealing with an impaired driver.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Blame bookstores for over-the-top textbook prices
The writer states, "In what other arena can a business sell a product at an enormous markup, buy back the product at a minimal cost, and then sell the product back to the same target consumer at a huge profit? The apparent collusion between the oligopolist publishers..." I read this as placing the blame entirely on the publishers.
The "Our View" on Tuesday contained one important misconception that should be clarified.
Bookstores, not publishers,
markup the cost of the book
(33.3%), buy it back, and then resell
it. Again, it is the bookstore, not the
publisher. Thus, for the book I have
written, the bookstore buys it from
the publisher for $64 and sells it to
the student for $80. Of that $64 sale
to the bookstore, the three authors,
who spent two years of their lives in
working on the edition, split $10.24
on the sale of each new book. The
bookstore, which contributed nothing
to the production of the book,
received $16 per book.
Additional information: For this particular book, the bookstore will buy it back at $40 and then resell it at $60 for a cool $20 profit. That's a larger profit than they get for new books! No wonder they push used books on students!
What does the author receive on the sale of a used book? $0.00. What does the publisher receive? $0.00. The profit is made by the bookstore; the author and publisher receive nothing for their years worth of effort and the financial investment.
All that said, though, it is reasonable for the bookstore to earn something; they do have salaries, utilities, rent, etc. to pay. I just question them making more than the authors. That's my clearly biased and self-serving view.

How to make 'shampoop' and other dishes of revenge
Revenge is a dish best served piping hot, and nothing causes the heat to rise like getting cheated on. Those who have endured a cheating partner know the sadness — and the fury — that comes with it.
What do you do when you get cheated on? Do you break up with the person? Do you let it blow over? Do you pour sugar into the cheater's gas tank?
If your partner cheats on you, if nothing else, break up with the person. It is inexcusable and nearly unforgivable. If you don't break up with a cheater, then you deserve the anguish you'll get when it happens again.
If you cheat on me, not only am I breaking up with you, but I'm pooing in your shampoo.
The "shampooo" revenge tactic is one of many you can use to get back at the person who just tore your heart out. Revenge isn't for everybody, but it's for a lot of people. Here are some revenge tactics for those not willing to let a cheater get off easy.

That's not bird poop: The only thing more embarrassing than cleaning poop out of your hair is cleaning poop off your windshield.
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINIONONKANSAN.COM
During the night while the cheater sleeps, take a squat over their windshield and drag it across. If you have the talent and hip mobility to write while squatting, might I recommend writing, "This is what your breath smells like."
Fly farm: I wish I could take credit for this next one. An old friend told me she did this once, and it is genius and lasting.
If you really want to stick it to someone that stuck it to someone else, pour milk on the floorboards of that person's car on a hot summer day. Science will take care of the rest. After a couple days of settling, maggots and a bad cottage cheese smell will be riding shotgun for months.
The only thing I might change in this recipe is to use some form of meat. I'm thinking little smokies.
Logically, by using little smok lies,rather than attracting flies,
you would be attracting bears, or possibly Bigfoot. It is common that knowledge that Bigfoot is crazy for little smokies.
There are few things more terrifying for a cheater, or anyone, than finding Bigfoot tearing through your car, sniffing out little smokies.
The only thing worse might be finding Rosie O'Donnell rummaging through your car. It is common knowledge that Rosie O'Donnell also is crazy for little smokies.
Death by Facebook: With the recent globalization of facebook.com, there is ample room for spreading word about a cheater. With many groups reaching the hundreds of thousands in members, each and every group has that potential.
The group, "My girlfriend will have a threesome with me if this group reaches 100,000" hit that very goal in a matter of days.
Imagine how much popularity the group, "I will have closure over my boyfriend cheating on me when this groups reaches infinity," will have.
As a side note, the group, "Make this group reach 100,000/Chuck Norris/'We're going streaking!'/My girlfriend cheated on me/l watch
Cheating is no joke, people, and you shouldn't let it slide. Break up with the cheater, and if you feel it necessary, let the person feel your wrath through a little revenge. At least give the cheater the "shampoo."
SUBMISSIONS
Jorgensen is a Baldwin City senior in journalism.
Granted, this one is a little tougher to pull off. You might be able to use Photoshop to superimpose the cheater's body on a horse's, and then hack on to the person's Facebook account and make it the profile picture. That's almost as bad as actually being a centaur.

Foreign students adjust to culture clash
ELIZABETH SCHUBAUER
On most weeknights, a group of international students gather at the second-floor lobby of McCollum Hall.
The students, mostly from Saudi Arabia and India, have found that living in McCollum has given them a chance to interact with and adjust to a culture different from their own.
"The lobby is a good place to meet new people." Vivek Bhandari, Kathmandu, Nepal, freshman said. "We play table tennis, pool and sometimes even do our homework."
Atul Koskile, Raipur, India, sophomore,
admits that he didn't know where Kansas
was before he became a freshman here. He wanted to get out of India, and the University was the least expensive option that had a good engineering program.
Koshley and the other students plan to stay at the University until they earn their degrees, which means that they're in for a more long-term adjustment than students doing only semester- or year-long study abroad programs here.
When the students contrast Lawrence to their hometowns, they often use words like "quiet," "calm" and "friendly."
"There are so many people. It's huge," Koshley said of India.
The students enjoy living here, though.
("There are) lots of nice people I can get
along with," Mohammed AlMari, Al Jabail, Saudi Arabia, freshman, said. "They don't make me feel alone."
A transition period is common among all of the University's new students, but there are a few additional changes that affect international students.
For example, international students have more difficulties adjusting to the food offered on campus. The food at Mrs.Es is not what most international students are used to eating.
Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of KU Residential Dining, said that menu items are revised every summer and more diverse cuisine was gradually being added.
The Muslim students also struggle with
the times that Mrs. E's is open. Every year, Muslims celebrate the holiday Ramadan by fasting from sunrise to sunset for 30 days.
"You feel hungry, feel thirsty so you remember the poor people," Talal Alsahili, Rivadh, Saudi Arabia, freshman, said.
During the holiday, one isn't supposed to eat until 7:15 p.m., Alsahli said. Mrs. E's 7:30 p.m. closing time makes it difficult to eat a substantial meal there during Ramadan. AIMarri fasted at the University last year and said that by planting ahead he was able to follow the restrictions of the holiday.
Kidwell said that KU Dining works to accommodate international students in need of special meal arrangements.
"In the past we have posted signs asking those students who will be observing the Ramadan holiday to sign up so we can have to-go meals made up for them to take to their rooms," Kidwell said in an e-mail interview.
She also said that the late-night hours that accompany the meal equivalency option have helped solve the problem in recent years.
The international students at McCollum may have a more pronounced culture shock than traditional students, but in many ways they are hanging out in the lobby looking to make new friends just like most other students.

Quarterback injuries not new to Mangino
Coach's five seasons have showcased at least two starters each year
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Luck is something that has certainly eluded Mark Mangino and his quarterbacks.
In Mangino's five seasons, injuries have riddled his starting quarterbacks. Kansas has yet to have a quarterback start a full season in the Mangino era. That trend continued again this season.
Freshman Kerry Meier has missed his last two starts after suffering an injury against Toledo.
Mangino isn't sure if his quarterbacks are cursed, or if it's his bad luck.
"You won't catch me playing lotto tickets anytime soon," Mangino ioked.
It's probably a good idea. Mangino is convinced he wouldn't have good luck with them anyway.
"When it's zero, I'll hit it," he said.
His luck with quarterbacks at Kansas has certainly been baffling. Mangino has gone through nearly 10 starting quarterbacks, with more than half missing time because of injury. Each of his five seasons has
featured at least two different starters.
"Certainly all of us have a little bit of frustration, but we have to stand for what we believe in." Mangino said. "Our focus here has always been that any player on the field that gets hurt, we get the next guy ready and ready to go."
The trend started during Mangino's first season when Bill Whittemore was injured. He suffered injuries during both of his seasons at Kansas. Whittemore's injury during his senior season forced Mangino to strip Adam Barmann's redshirt. Barmann went on to start two more games in 2003.
Kansas' bad luck with quarterbacks continued the next season when Barmann suffered an injury against Iowa State. Jason Swanson, one of last season's many quarterbacks, was injured during the regular season finale against Iowa State, but recovered in time to play in the Fort Worth Bowl.
As for his current injured quarterback, Mangino said there's a chance that Meier will play "relatively soon."
"There's no question that we'll see him again this season," he said.
All that's preventing Meier from playing this weekend against Texas A&M is clearance from the team's medical staff and Mangino. He practiced again on Sunday, but is
still unable to make all the throws needed in the offense.
Meier is currently listed as "day-to-day" and Mangino has no timetable for a decision about this week's starter.

Quarterback shows his improving skills
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
KANSAN COLUMNIST
FDAVIS@KANSAN.COM
I never thought Id say this: Start Adam Barmann.
I was petrified two weeks ago when faced with the reality that Barmann was going to start against South Florida. The last thing I remembered from Barmann was that nightmarish outing against Kansas State in Manhattan. Remember that 12-3 shoot-out? The Anti-Nick Reid — he was doing No. 7 no justice — was three for eight that day for a whopping 17 yards. That was 17 yards against a mediocre Kansas State team in Manhattan: a tough place to play if you're used to modern civilization.
That's right, I said it, and I'll say it again. Start Adam Barmann, and do it for as long as this guy is capable of playing like he has seven out of the last eight quarters of football for the Kansas Jayhawks.
But then Barmann, the alleged successor to Bill Whitemore, who has failed miserably ever since his alleged breakout game against Texas A & M in College Station four years ago as a true freshman, saves the day against South Florida? And after a putrid first quarter, leads Kansas back against Nebraska — in Lincoln? Who is this man, boys and girls? And what has he done with the happy-feet, wobbly-throwing, confidence-lacking and baseball-cap-wearing-because-he's-content-being-a backup Adam Barmann we came to bemoan and dislike? He's gone, and this new Adam Barmann, this — let me get this two-interaction, first-quarter out-of-the-way-and-throw-for-405-yards and two-touchs-the-next-three-quarters — Barmann is now leading
the way.
So what do you say about his turnovers?
While the fumbles and interceptions do hurt, there should only be two interceptions because the last pick Barmann threw in the Nebraska game should have never happened. The "sure-handed" Derek Fine dropped his first of two easy touchdown passes that the aforementioned quarterback put right on the numbers.
As a quick side note: once you drop two (twoll) touchdown passes that would change the entire complexion of a game, you lose the distinction of being 'sure-handed.' Where's Marc Jones? But I digress...
It's amazing what Kansas football fans are seeing right now when it comes to the Kansas offense, because folks around here haven't seen that kind of offense since, well, the Kansas City Chiefs of the past five years. Seriously, Mangino's offenses have been so bad that Nick Reid threatened to beat up every member of the offense last year, and as bad as they were, he probably could've done it by himself - taking them all on at the same time. Granted, no one on the defense has threatened to beat up any members of the offense this year — although I hear Paul Como and Kerry Meier have hair issues. The offense and defense are actually helping each other.
The reason this offense is clicking is because of Adam Barmann, the quarterback we love to hate. He's finally playing like the quarterback Mark Mangino envisioned when he brought this gangly-looking kid from West Platte, Mo., to Lawrence four years ago. He's played two great games in a row and his confidence is sky-high after what he did in Lincoln. His team's behind him, the fans are behind him; let the kid ride this thing out for as long as he can, because who knows, he may ride this thing to Kansas City in December.

The victory marks the second time in a row that the Jayhawks have won the tournament when they hosted it.
The University of Kansas women's golf team placed first in the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational on Tuesday at Alvamar Country Club.
"We did well overall," coach Erin O'Neil said. "We were kind of shaky here and there, but we didn't give up. I'm proud of them."
The Jayhawks had a final round score of 917 and a 14-stroke lead over The University of Notre Dame. Notre Dame moved past Arkansas-Little Rock into second place. The Jayhawks also improved on their score from the last time they hosted the tournament, when they posted a score of 946 in 2004.
A large fan base was present for the team. Several golf carts followed players from hole to hole.
"It always helps to have a big crowd to support us," Amanda Costner, Claremore, Okla., senior, said.
After leading the first two rounds, Costner fell to fifth place after the
third round with an overall score of 227. Swirling winds were again present on the second day and only one golfer during the three rounds was able to post a score under par.
"Everyone's scores were up," O'Neill said. "It was a tough day on a tough golf course."
Emily Powers, Quincy, Ill., freshman, led the Jayhawks in the final round, posting an even par on the course. She attributes her success to her chipping.
"My chipping was never that good until I got here and we worked on it." Powers said. "I made a lot of up-and-downs today."
Powers finished fourth in the tournament with an overall score of 225. Top honors went to Anita Ojeda of Arkansas — Little Rock with an overall score of 221.
The victory provided a boost of confidence for the team members. They hope to take it and apply it to future tournaments.
"This is a huge point for us to build on," Annie Giangrosso, Overland Park junior. said. "We can take this to New Mexico or, more importantly, Auburn."

BY C.J. MOORE
Brent Meier/The Daily Nebraska
After an Omaha television station ran a news story about an editorial cartoon that appeared in Monday's Daily Nebraska, the Nebraska school newspaper, the paper received an abundance of letters to the editor and comments on its Web site.
The cartoon angered fans of both Nebraska and Kansas.
Jenna Johnson, the editor of the Daily Nebraskan, said the paper was running eight to 10 letters to the editor in today's newspaper. But before people jump to a quick judgment of the cartoon, Johnson said
it's important that they understand the context.
Johnson said that the cartoon was meant to be critical of both Kansas and Nebraska fans.
She said that a number of Kansas fans showed up to the game in "our coach can eat your coach" T-shirts. During the game when Eric Washington was injured in the third quarter, Nebraska fans started to do the wave around the stadium.
"I think people who misunderstand it are people who weren't at the game or do not know the context of the cartoon," Johnson said.

Two men at Speedway charged after attack
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Two men accused of trying to rob the Kansas Speedway amid a hail of bullets were charged Tuesday with trying to kill an off-duty Kansas City, Kan., police detective and rob her.
Wyandotte County District Attorney Jerome A. Gorman charged Frederick Douglas and Nolden Garner with attempted capital murder in the attack Sunday on Detective Susan
Brown.
Brown, a 25-year veteran, was working security at the track for a NASCAR race.
Authorities said in court documents that the two men fired several shots at Brown, even after she had fallen to the ground, and took her handgun.
Gorman also charged the men with aggravated battery because a track employee suffered minor wounds from either being shot or being hit with bullet fragments.

Evan Hengel's FANTASY FOOTBALL WEDNESDAY
Indianapolis Colts defensive back Jason David, left, beats New York Jets running back Leon Washington to the ball as he recovers a fumble on the last play of the game during NFL football Sunday at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The Colts beat the Jets 31-28.
Other than “we're sorry, your call can not be completed as dialed” there is no phrase in the English language more aggravating than “running back by committee.”
2) Cincinnati defense. Perhaps losing Odell Thurman for the year was more important than anyone thought, as the Bengals defense was rocked for 38 points by the Patriots on Sunday. They'll probably rebound later in the year, but they have a bye this week, so if possible, I'd recommend picking up San Francisco's defense. If you're not sure why, it's because they play Oakland. I hate to keep picking on the Raiders, but it's just so much fun.

FANTASY FOOTBALL
1) Maurice Morris, running back, Seattle Seahawks. His debut as Seattle's starting running back in place of the injured Shaun Alexander was more disappointing than the season three finale of Entourage. He picked up just 35 yards, and with Seattle's bye in week five, Morris may not get another start his year.
Fantasy owners have been tortured by coaches who change running backs more often than John Madden changes networks, with coach Mike Shanahan being the lead offender. Owners of Joseph Addai, Dominic Rhodes, Reggie Bush, Deuce McAllister, DeShaun Foster, DeAngelo Williams, Laurence Maroney and Corey Dillon have experienced the pain first-hand so far this year.
Evan Hengel is an Overland Park senior in finance.
2) Leon Washington, running back, New York Jets. I might not pick him up just yet, but keep an eye on the running back situation in New York. Cedric Houston and Leon Washington will both be jockeying for more carries as fellow running back Kevan Barlow is averaging under three yards per carry. Barlow will get all the short yardage opportunities, as he had two more touchdowns on Sunday, but giving the ball to Barlow is a lot like head-butting somebody, in both cases you must be close to the target to be effective.
It's actually easier to date Lindsay Lohan than it is to join the Starting Club. Maroney picked up 125 yards on just 15 carries and reached the
While I can't solve all your running back problems, I'm here to say that one problem has solved itself. Laurence Maroney, while still in the backup role, has officially joined the "Starting Club". This is the elusive brotherhood of NFL running backs that you can start every week without fear.
1) LenDale White, running back, Tennessee Titans. If you watched him play as a USC Trojan, you might remember him as a brash, cocky running back with an attitude problem. Well, he's the same guy, but fortunately he also has the same talent. If he can steal enough carries from Chris Brown and Travis Henry, I like his chances to be the new Eddie George to Tennessee fans.
Who to drop:
end zone twice. What may be more important is that Corey Dillon, ahead of him on the depth chart, sputtered in a goal-line situation several times until finally stumbling in on fourth down. With Maroney averaging 15 carries a game and rising, along with his goal-line duties, he's established himself as a solid fantasy option.

Football Notes Washington update
Washington update:
Senior linebacker Eric Washington, who suffered a concussion and temporary paralysis after a hit in the Nebraska game, returned to Lawrence on Monday morning. Mangino said that Washington was suffering from weakness in his left leg, which doctors have said is not unusual. Washington will visit a doctor who specializes in head and neck sports injuries for further evaluation. Mangino said Sunday night that there's a chance Washington may play again this season.
Nebraska decision:
Mangino said Tuesday that he has no regrets about not attempting the two-point conversion near the end of regulation in Saturday's loss to Nebraska. A successful two-point conversion would have given Kansas a one-point lead with less than 45 seconds to play.

"Nobody considered going for two," he said.
Ford Bray, Kansas City, Kan. junior, was at the game and said he was surprised that the Nebraska fans started a wave while Washington was hurt on the field. He said it was a wave out of boredom.
"I was impressed with how polite they were so that kind of surprised me," Bray said. "This is a misrepresentation of the fan base as a whole."
Some fans, like Morgan Henzik, Atlanta junior, have interpreted the cartoon as making fun of KU coach Mark Mangin's weight rather than as a criticism of the fan bases.
"It seems like a cheap shot – an easy thing to go after," Henzlik said. "OK, our coach is fat, that's not the first time we've heard that."
Before publication, Johnson said the Nebraskan editors made sure that Washington was not going to be severely injured. Johnson said if Washington had been paralyzed, the cartoon would not have run. Once they found out Washington was going to be OK, the editors decided to run the cartoon.
"This is an editorial cartoon that our editorial cartoonist did just like an opinion column," Johnson said. "This is his opinion, his view on the football game."

Marlins replaces manager with third-base coach
MIAMI, FI. - Once the runner-
up to Joe Girardi for the job of managing the Florida Marlins, Fredi Gonzalez became his successor Tuesday.
Gonzalez, 42, interviewed with the Marlins a year ago after Jack McKeon resigned. Instead they hired Girardi, but his relationship with Loria and general manager Larry Beinfest soon became strained.
The Marlins fired Girardi, and five hours later announced that he'll be replaced by Gonzalez, third-base coach for the Atlanta Braves the past four years. Girardi's departure after only one season had been expected after his rift with owner Jeffrey Loria boiled over in an on-field confrontation two months ago.
Gonzalez was born in Cuba and raised in Miami, becoming the first manager in the Marlins' organization when they hired him to run their first minor league team in Erie, Pa., in 1992. Beginning in 1999, he coached third base for 2 1/2 years under Marlins manager John Boles.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was given a five-game suspension — the longest for on-field behavior in NFL history — for stomping on Dallas Cowboys center Andre Gurode's head and kicking
him in the face Sunday.
The NFL said that Haynesworth was suspended for flagrant unnecessary roughness. The suspension, which is without pay, is effective immediately. Haynesworth will be eligible to return Nov. 19 for the Titans' game at Philadelphia.

Prosecutor: newspaper report on steroids wrong
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.
The federal prosecutor overseeing an investigation of steroids in baseball said a newspaper report that five players, including Roger Clemens, had used illegal performance-enhancing drugs contained "significant inaccuracies."
Citing sealed court filings, the Los Angeles Times reported that former pitcher Jason Grimsey had named Clemens, his Houston Astros teammate Andy Pettitte, and Baltimore Orioles Miguel Tejada, Brian Roberts and Jay Gibbons. The
San Francisco U.S. Attorney Kevin Ryan issued the statement saying the reports were inaccurate. A spokesman for Ryan declined to elaborate.
story first appeared on the Times' Web site on Saturday and quickly was seized on by print and broadcast media outlets.

O'Neil is hoping the experience of winning will transfer to other tournaments, something the team needs.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Texas Tech's throwing motivates Missouri
BY TROY SCHULTE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Starter Darnell Terrell said Missouri's defensive line and backlinehaves played so well that the secondary hasn't really been tested yet. But he knows that will change this week.
"It's a great challenge," he said. "This team doesn't run the ball a lot; they put the ball in the air a lot. This is probably going to be a true test for the secondary."
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri's cornerbacks are aware of Texas Tech's reputation for throwing the football. And for a group that says it has yet to be challenged this year, that's part of the excitement.
Through its first five games, Missouri has given up an average of 143.2 passing yards per game. But that was before Domonique Johnson injured an ACL in his right knee during Saturday's 28-13 win over Colorado. Missouri Coach Gary Pinkel said Johnson would need surgery and probably wouldn't play again this season.
"It's exciting because it's a good football team and they throw the ball all over the place," Missouri cornerbacks coach Cornell Ford said. "So I would think any corner, they are pretty excited to play against a passing team like this."
The 23rd-ranked Tigers (5-0,1-0 Big 12) travel to Lubbock, Texas, Saturday to play Texas Tech, a team whose 347.6 passing yards a game leads the Big 12 Conference. The Red Raiders (4-1,1-0) rank third in the country in passing, while their 432.8 yards per game rank third in the conference in total offense.
"Those usually take about four to five months." Pinkel said after practice Tuesday.
Ford said he had a stable of young corners who were ready to step in for Johnson. The sophomore from Texas City, Texas, lost his starting spot against Ohio on Sept. 23 for disciplinary reasons, and Ricks played so well in his place that he also started against Colorado.
True freshman Del Howard also will be expected to play quite a bit against Texas Tech. Previously listed as Terrell's backup, Howard will now help Ricks shore up the side that was vacated by Johnson. Junior college transfer Paul Simpson is listed behind Terrell.
Pinkel said playing young cornerbacks early in the season helped them prepare for the Red Raiders.
"That's why you get backup players ready to play, and we're lucky to have a Del Howard that is a freshman that can actually play and do a good job," Pinkel said. "Certainly, he'll be tested this week."
Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell averages over 300 yards passing per game, and Robert Johnson and Joel Filani rank first and second in the Big 12 in catches per game.
But Terrell said he isn't worried about the young corners. Through five games, Ricks' 11 tackles are tied with Johnson for the most by any of Missouri's corners, and Howard's two interceptions are the only two by a corner. Terrell and Ricks, who are roommates, already have started late-night film sessions.
"I think they are going to be up for the challenge," Terrell said. "They know this is a team that is going to put the ball up in the air. I think we're going to be prepared for this team."

Jayhawks play old rival
2006-07 Border Showdown starts tonight in Columbia
BY DREW DAVISON
Tonight's match at Missouri will be a tough challenge for the Kansas volleyball team to snap out of its three-match losing streak.
The Tigers are undefeated at home this season and are ranked No.17 in the country.
"Obviously, they're going to be
heavy favorites," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We've got to start having success, and we have to find a way to win on the road."
Missouri (11-4, 5-1 Big 12 Conference) has defeated Kansas (8-7, 1-5) in Columbia, Mo., the past five years. The Tigers have also won the last four meetings against the Jayhawks.

Kansas hasn't won in the Big 12; it has losses against Colorado, Texas Tech and Iowa State. Freshman Brittany Williams and her teammates will try to start a winning streak at Missouri.
Even with everything in Missouri's favor, Kansas will have an opportunity for its first conference road victory tonight.
"I got to say this, even though we're disappointed, they come back and practice hard everyday," Bechard said. "We're going to do all we can do to get this thing headed in the right direction."
Missouri swept then No. 5 Texas on Sept. 23 during the team's current five-game winning streak. With the victory, Missouri climbed to No. 2 in the Big 12 standings.
"They knew at some point in time, they could be really strong," Bechard said. "They went through some growing pains in nonconference, but have recovered extremely well."
Missouri outside hitter Jessica Vander Kooi leads the team in kills with 4.40 per game. She also earned Big 12 Player of the Week on Sept. 25.
Bechard said the Jayhawks have made costly errors, which kept them out of the win column.
"We literally, at times, stop ourselves from being the team we want to be." he said.
Kansas right side hitter Emily Brown had a good feeling about tonight's game after being swept by Iowa State on Saturday.
"It's coming (tonight), for sure.
It'll be a good win for us," she said.
The match, set for 6:30 p.m., is the first event in the 2006-07 Kansas vs. Missouri Border Showdown. Kansas defeated Missouri to win last year's Border Showdown 23-17.
Kansas will next play at No. 25 Oklahoma on Saturday.

Chase format drives fan interest
BY JEFF DETERS
NASCAR driver Tony Stewart's victory Sunday at the Kansas Speedway had no effect on his goal of winning the 2006 NASCAR championship.
"If you're not in the Chase, the only thing you can do is win races," Stewart said.
The Chase is NASCAR's version of a playoff system: a 10-race sprint for the championship. For three years, the Chase format has made a big impact on the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series.
The first 26 races determine which drivers are eligible for the Chase: the top 10 drivers with the most points, and any drivers within 400 points of the leader. The driver's point totals are then adjusted for the final 10 races.
Before the Chase went into effect, some of NASCAR's top drivers, like Jeff Gordon, would accumulate so many points that they would cruise to the championship long before season's end. NASCAR thought this diminished the suspense and excitement, causing fan interest to wane.
The Chase has sparked fan interest and driver techniques in terms of strategy and momentum, which four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon knows all about.
"I think it is extremely important that you carry momentum into the Chase." Gordon said. "You want to peak while you are in the Chase."
Gordon finished third in each of his last two Chase races but finished a disappointing 39th on Sunday.
been a great addition to NASCAR.
"I think the Busch Series needs a Chase," Boywer said. "I think the Truck series needs a Chase. I think at the point of the season where it's starting to get a little stale, it adds a lot more excitement and gets the fans back into it."
Dale Earnhardt JF, one of the most popular drivers in NASCAR, finished 10th on Sunday and is seventh in the Chase standings. Earnhardt is thankful to be in the hunt this year.
"It's exciting obviously to be in the mix and to be one of the names in the hat," he said. "So we're trying to take advantage of it."

EMPLOYMENT
Aging Baby Boomers pass jobs to recent graduates
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Experienced workers across the Kansas economy will begin retiring during the next 5 to 10 years, which will open up highly skilled jobs to recent college graduates, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Kansas Population Center.
More than 70 million baby boomers — those born between 1946 and 1964 — will leave the workforce between now and 2020. The much smaller Generations X and Y will have a chance to fill positions in education, engineering and management, according to the bureau.
Local companies must plan to market those open positions to students, said Beth Johnson, vice president of economic development at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
"It's huge to think about filling those positions," Johnson said. "Our focus becomes figuring out the skills of the students who are graduating."
Johnson said Lawrence paralleled the national trend in terms of the types of jobs that would become available. Teachers in primary and secondary education will be highly demanded, as will accountants and managers, and mechanics and engineers at local manufacturers, she said.
One key to keeping KU graduates in the local job economy is offering competitive wages and keeping property taxes reasonable, Johnson said.
Laszlo Kulcsar, director of the Kansas Population Center, said metro areas in Kansas would likely maintain the best and most diverse job opportunities. Vacancies in agricultural towns like Dodge City or Garden City will be hard to fill as college graduates look for more glamorous or higher-paying jobs in Topeka, Overland Park and Wichita, he said.
With its business-friendly tax breaks, the Kansas City area could become a corporate haven in the next few years, Kulcsar said. He said the migration of young people from the western half of Kansas created an "intrastate brain drain."
"Some Kansas communities aren't prepared to face this trend," he said. "Proportionally, aging is more traumatic to rural areas."

BOARDWALK REMEMBERED
Jose Gonzalez always arrived to work early, greeting his colleagues with a smile and a 'good morning' as they walked through the door. His death was a loss to a 'big part of' the company.
FAMILY MAN LOST
Part 3: Co-workers recall man who made them smile
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Jose Gonzalez was always one of the first members of his crew to arrive for work at Quality Electric Inc. He sat out back on a role of wire in the shop where the workers met each morning before going to the work site and greeted his co-workers as they filtered in. Most of the workers were tired and groggy, but hearing Gonzalez say "good morning" put a smile on their faces. Something about his pleasant greeting was contagious. One year after a fire engulfed Gonzalez's apartment in the Boardwalk apartment complex and killed him, his former co-workers remember him fondly, but with a pained heart. Dale Wolford, project manager at Quality Electric Inc., still visits the black slab of concrete near the entrance of Mount Cavalry Cemetery that marks the grave of his former employee and friend. Gonzalez worked for Quality Electric as an apprentice, where he did electrical wiring work for residential houses.

EDUCATION
Math, science suffer teacher deficit nationally
BY DANNY LUPPINO
The United States is facing a shortage of teachers in science and math, and Provost Richard Lariviere wants to make combatting that shortage a priority.
Lariviere said the University of Kansas, as well as all other American colleges and universities, needed to find a way to produce more quality teachers in those subjects.
"There is a crisis on our hands now — it's no longer looming — in specific fields like science and math where there's not enough teachers to meet the demand," Lariviere said. "This is a component in the educational continuum that is very important for America's future."

Dog owners file law suit against L.A. company
against L.A. company LOS ANGELES - Owners of a Rottweiler and other dogs have sued a company called Hollywood Paws for falling to help turn their pooches into stars
More than a dozen pet owners contend the company collected tens of thousands of dollars but never delivered on promises to get film and television auditions for their pets.
"I lost a lot of money," said Rachel Armstrong, owner of Goliath the Rottweiler.
Armstrong said she believed her dog had the "cool" factor that would get him into music videos and paid nearly $2,000 to Hollywood Paws LLC for training.
All she got was a rejection from "The Tiva Banks Show."
Attorney Cynthia Mulvihill filed the suit in Superior Court last month.
Hollywood Paws owner Larry Lionetti contends he never promised acting jobs, although he said several animals had won spots in commercials.
"Everybody knows down in your town that there are actors and actresses waiting on tables until a part comes along," he said. "Who in L.A. doesn't know this?"
Thrill ride cord breaks, leaves man dangling
TULSA, Okla. — A bungee cord on a thrill ride broke, leaving a man dangling 25 feet off the ground for a half-hour until he was rescued by firefighters.
Steve Alan Stone, 48, was not seriously hurt in the incident Monday at the Tulsa State Fair. A ride worker also was helped down by rescuers.
The ride, called the Ejection Seat, consists of a two-seat chair that is suspended from two towers by bungee cords. Passengers are propelled as much as 200 feet high at speeds of about 60 mph.
Shortly after Stone was launched, one of the cords brake, leaving the seat dangling sideways near one of the towers, Tulsa County Sheriff's Capt. Fred Cotton said.
Vandals send money to pay for their damage
KEENE, N.H. — These sign vandals have a conscience.
Two weeks ago, when about 100 stop signs in Keene were tagged with anti-war stickers, Public Works Director Kurt Blomquist estimated it cost $110 to clean them.
Tuesday morning, the culprits paid up — sending a letter claiming responsibility and a money order to the city via The Keene Sentinel.
"We are responsible culprits and we don't want to cost the city money as we wage peace," read the letter to the newspaper, which contained no names and was signed: "Respectful culprits."

Sex scandal threatens GOP re-election campaigns
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Dennis Hastert's political support showed signs of cracking on Wednesday as Republicans fled an election-year scandal spawned by steamy computer messages from former Rep. Mark Folev to teenage male pages.
At the same time, Foley's former chief of staff said in an Associated Press interview that he first warned Hastert's aides more than three years ago that Foley's behavior toward pages was troublesome. That was long before GOP leaders acknowledged learning of the problem.
Kirk Fordham, who was Foley's top aide until January 2004, said he had "more than one conversation with senior staff at the highest level of the House of Representatives asking them to intervene" several years ago.
Fordham resigned Wednesday as staff chief for another lawmaker caught up in the scandal, New York Rep. Thomas Reynolds, the House GOP campaign chief who says he alerted Hastert to concerns about Foley last spring.
"I'm taking the speaker's words at face value," Lewis told the AP. "I have no reason to doubt him. But until this is cleared up, I want to know the facts. If anyone in our leadership has done anything wrong, then I will be the first in line to condemn it."
Republican Rep. Ron Lewis of Kentucky, in a tougher-than-expected re-election战，abruptly canceled an invitation for Hastert to join him at a fundraiser next week.
Ron Bonjean, Hastert's spokesman, said the matter had been referred to the House ethics committee. "We fully expect that the bipartisan panel will do what it needs to do to investigate this matter and protect the integrity of the House," he added.
Foley, 52, a Florida Republican, resigned last Friday after he was confronted with sexually explicit electronic messages he had sent teenage male pages. He has since entered an alcohol rehabilitation facility at an undisclosed location. Through his lawyer, he has said he is gay but denied any sexual contact with minors.
under oath..."
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi went one step further, saying that Hastert and the rest of the GOP leadership should be "immediately questioned
Fordham said that more than three years ago, he repeatedly asked GOP staffers to intervene with Foley, his boss at the time.
Fordham also disputed allegations that he covered up any misdeeds by Foley.
Separately, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has begun a preliminary inquiry.
The Justice Department ordered House officials to "preserve all records" related to Foley's electronic correspondence with teenagers, and one law enforcement official said FBI agents have begun interviewing participants in the House page program. It was not clear whether those questioned were current or former pages, or both.
David Roth, Foley's attorney would not comment Wednesday night.
The Republicans, who already had been struggling to retain their majority in adverse political circumstances and now must content with the questions about Hastert's actions.
Even a Republican from Hastert's home state of Illinois expressed reservations about asking the speaker for campaign help.
"We still take the position that we want all the facts," said Ryan McLaughlin, a spokesman for state Sen. Peter Roskam, who is running for an open seat now in Republican hands.

Witchcraft store earns more at new location North Lawrence better site than downtown
BY COURTNEY FARR
Two witches, formerly of the downtown area, said they found a new and welcoming home in North Lawrence this summer.
Kasey Carlson and Kerry Johnson, former proprietors of 9th Path and Mystic Realms, opened a new store, called Village Witch, at 311 N. Second St. A fire closed their previous stores on Oct. 9 last year.
"We should have done this three years ago," said Carlson. "It would have taken a fire to get us out of our old place. We loved it."
Carlson said the new store generated more walk-in traffic and seemed more noticeable than the old stores, which sat at the northwest corner of Vermont and Eighth streets.
About half of their shoppers are new faces, Carlson said.
The name also captures people's attention, Carlson said. She was nervous to use Village Witch because of possible negative connotations, but Johnson pushed for it. Johnson said the name better fit the services and items the shop offered.
Carlson said "We're not the only village witches in town. We're just the only ones hanging a sign up."
"Everybody says you have to be on Massachusetts or 23rd Street," Carlson said. "We believed it and bought that as much as anybody, I think North Lawrence, this stretch right here, is ripe for a local business district."
The shop resides in the last building before a driver would cross the bridge from North Lawrence to downtown.
Even though Village Witch carries the same inventory as the old stores, some products sell better now. Feng shui items that had not sold well at the previous stores have become popular items, Carlson said. Feng shui is the Chinese art of arranging objects in buildings or rooms to promote positive effects.
"Stuff that would have sat on shelves for ages is selling here," she said.
Village Witch also sells oils, crystals, stones, candles, incense, books and other tools for witchcraft and metaphysics.
Eight months passed before the pair could open their new shop. They had to restock inventory lost to fire and smoke damage.
Carlson lost virtually all of her merchandise while Kerry lost about 75 percent, Carlson said.
"A lot of what we have, we make," Carlson said. "It makes it more affordable to start but it's more labor intensive."
Last week workers hauled debris out of the old stores and appeared to be cleaning and renovating the space. The awning still displayed the Mystic Realms sign.
Rich Barr, Douglas County fire marshal, said an investigator determined that the fire was electrical and accidental. Workers are now preparing the building to be an annex for the Eldridge Hotel at Seventh and Massachusetts streets, he said.

Apple mishandles stock options
BUSINESS
BY MAY WONG ASSOCIATED PRESS
CEO Steve Jobs apologizes for scandal; chief financial officer resigns; share values fall
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Apple Computer Inc. CEO Steve Jobs apologized Wednesday for the company's past stock-option practices after an internal investigation found accounting irregularities between 1997 and 2002 and showed jobs was aware of some options backdating.
The iPod and Macintosh maker said its three-month investigation also prompted the resignation of former Chief Financial Officer Fred Anderson from the company's board of directors.
The company said Jobs knew that some grants had been given favorable dates "in a few instances",
but he did not benefit from them and was not aware of the accounting implications.
Apple said it will likely have to restate some earnings. The looming restatements threaten to wipe out some of the profit generated during the most prosperous stretch in Apple's 30-year history. Apple has reported a total of $3.1 billion in profit in the past four years.
Shares of Apple shed 58 cents to $74.80 in aftermarket trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on Wednesday.
Apple, one of the most prominent companies caught in the nationwide stock options mishandling scandal, said its investigation into the matter did not uncover any misconduct by any member of Apple's current
management team, but that it did raise "serious concerns" regarding the actions of two former officers.
The company did not name the two officers but announced that Anderson, who served as the company's chief financial officer from 1996 until 2004, had resigned from the company board.
The probe found irregularities in the recording of stock option grants made between 1997 and 2002, with the last one involving a January 2002 grant, the company said. The grants had dates that preceded the approval of those grants.
The company's special committee conducting the investigation examined more than 650,000 e-mails and documents, and interviewed more than 40 current and former employees, directors and advisers.
Apple initiated the stock-options investigation in June after problems at other companies began to unravel.
More than 100 other companies nationwide are entangled in similar stock-option trouble. In most of those instances, companies have traced their problems to "backdating" issues.
If the revised financial results are significant, it could dent Apple's stock, said IDC analyst Richard Shim.
"The company is certainly firing on all cylinders so investors may be willing to forgive them," Shim said. "But it's something that will linger in the backs of their minds."

Stanford professor wins chemistry Nobel
Americans sweep science prizes for first time since 1983, research could lead to new therapies
NEW YORK — Nearly a half-century after his father was awarded a Nobel Prize, a Stanford University professor won his own Wednesday for groundbreaking research into how cells read their genes, fundamental work that could help lead to new therapies.
Discoveries by Roger D. Kornberg, 59, have helped set the stage for developing drugs to fight cancer, heart disease and other illnesses, experts said.
he said.
At a press conference, Kornberg said the immediate application of his work is in making better antibiotics for diseases such as tuberculosis. "There will be specific cures for several diseases in the next decade,"
He said several pharmaceutical companies are developing drugs based on his research, but he declined to be more specific other than to mention cancer therapy.
Kornberg's $1.4 million award, following the Nobels for medicine and physics earlier this week, completes the first American sweep of the Nobel science prizes since 1983.
Americans have won or shared in all the chemistry Nobels since 1992. The last time the chemistry prize was given to just one person was in 1999.
The Kornbergs are the sixth father and son to both win Nobel
Prizes. One father and daughter — Pierre Curie and Irne Joliot-Curie — won Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry, respectively. Marie Curie — Irne's mother and Pierre's wife — won two Nobel prizes, for chemistry and physics.
Roger Kornberg's prize-winning work produced a detailed picture of what scientists call transcription in eukaryotes, the group of organisms that includes humans and other mammals, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in its citation.
Transcription lets genes specify what proteins a cell produces. In this process, information from genes is used to create molecules
called messenger RNA. These molecules shuttle the information to the cells' protein-making machinery. Proteins, in turn, serve as building blocks and workhorses of cells, vital to structure and functions.
Since 2000, Kornberg has produced extremely detailed pictures of messenger RNA molecules being created.
"In an ingenious manner Kornberg has managed to freeze the construction process of RNA half-way through," the Nobel committee said. That let him capture the process of transcription in full flow, which is "truly revolutionary," the committee said.

countries through the fourth grape, after which there was a significant drop-off. He said data showed a lack of teachers as the cause of that drop.
Lariviere said he didn't yet know how to produce more teachers. He compared the situation to the nursing shortage in Kansas and said the state needed to recognize this problem similarly.
"We have to address the shortage as a society," Lariviere said. "It is a problem that can be remedied."
As for action from the School of Education, Sally Roberts, associate dean for teacher education, said programs had been implemented to
math and science teachers.
Jim Ellis, professor of education, who teaches classes in science education, said other measures were being taken to encourage students to pursue teaching math and science. Among those measures are a proposed math and science section of introductory teaching classes, plans to provide students with more information on math and
encourage teacher training, especially in urban areas.
"There is a crisis on our hands now — it's no longer looming
One of these programs, "Transition to Teaching," gives on-the-job training to people with math and science degrees by giving them teaching jobs in innery schools. People in the program earn their teaching degrees while they work.
Roberts said getting teachers to inner-city and rural schools was as big a problem as training more
in specific fields like science and math where there's not enough teachers to meet the demand."

science careers and continued offers of scholarships for students who pursue such careers
"We're hoping that through additional incentives and support we can get more people interested in a career teaching math and science," Ellis said.
Still, Ellis said his experience
teaching science education classes did not bode well for the future of the shortage.
"The students in my classes are very enthusiastic about what they're doing," Ellis said. "But I'm seeing a decline in applicants."

Madonna to adopt African child, build orphanage
CELEBRITY ACTIVISM
BY RAPHAEL TENTHANI ASSOCIATED PRESS
ing children orphaned by Aids thru the Raising Malawi organization. She has not adopted a baby despite reports that she has," Rosenberg told Us Weekly.
BLANTYRE, Malawi — Madonna plans to adopt a child in Malawi, government officials said Wednesday, as the pop star arrived in the southern African nation on a mission to help AIDS orphans.
"She told us she is looking for a baby boy," said Andrina Mchiela, a senior official with Malawi's ministry for Gender and Chile Welfare. "Her team has identified a few, but the choice is hers."
Mchiela also said the pop star planned to launch six projects to help underprivileged children during her stay.
Madonna's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, confirmed that the singer was in Malawi on a private visit and said she had not adopted a baby.
"She is building an orphanage and child care center and is involved in other initiatives geared toward help-
Rosenberg did not immediately return e-mails from the AP asking about the reported adoption plans.
Mchiela told The Associated Press that Madonna and her husband, director Guy Ritchie, would be subject to a probation period required of all prospective adoptive parents.
"After her husband and her fill in the papers, we'll allow them to take him away, not as adoptive parents but foster parents until after the 18-24 months when the government of Malawi will assess whether they are a suitable family," she said. "This is a legal requirement that cannot be fast-tracked."
Madonna and Ritchie have a son, Rocco, 5, and the singer also has a daughter, Lourdes, 9.
Benston Kilimbe, director of
social welfare in the government, said Madonna was expected to file the adoption papers on Thursday.
The 48-year-old star joins a growing list of entertainer-activists who have focused on Africa.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, whose child was born in Namibia earlier this year, recently announced they would donate $1 million each to two humanitarian organizations active on the continent. They also have two adopted children one from Ethiopia and one from
— one from Ethiopia and one from Cambodia.
Actor and director George Clooney also has campaigned passionately for the victims of the violence in the Darfur region of Sudan.
Madonna and her entourage landed on a private plane in the capital, Lilongwe, on Wednesday morning. Mchuela said.
The star was to travel Thursday to Mphandula, a village about 30 miles from the capital, where she wants to set up a center for children
orphaned by the AIDS epidemic.
Malawi is among the poorest countries in the world, trapped in a seemingly endless cycle of hunger and disease. Just over 14 percent of the 12 million population are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and an estimated 1 million children have been orphaned.
In villages like Mphandula, many orphans are cared for either by siblings or grandparents, who struggle to find food for the extended family. The village has no electricity and the inhabitants live in mud and thatched huts.
Televisions are nonexistent and radios are rare, meaning that most of the villagers have never even heard Madonna sing.
Madonna's project, called Raising Malawi, aims to set up an orphan care center to provide food, education and shelter for up to 4,000 children. It will have projects based on Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism that has gained popularity in recent years.
PITTS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Judy Smith, Pitts' assistant, said people had a wide variety of responses to his columns.
"There are a lot of people who say 'you said exactly what I think,' and a lot of people who say 'I couldn't disagree with you more,' in not such a nice way." Smith said.
Pitts gets an average of 100 to 150 e-mails per day in response to his columns.
His visit is funded by the English Department, the School of
Journalism and the Dole Institute of Politics. The English department asked the School of Journalism to split the $5,000 cost to bring Pitts to campus. The School of Journalism then asked Pitts to speak to students in classes. During the following negotiations, $500 was added to the fee.
William J. Harris, professor of English, said that Pitts was initially invited to speak at the University because of his writing
talent, but that the lecture should appeal to a broad spectrum of students because of the issues about which Pitts routinely writes. "He's able to speak to an incredible cross-section of people about challenging issues," Harris said. "It's for people who care what's happening in our country now."
David Guth, associate dean of journalism, said the chance to have one of the nation's leading columnists visit the school was "too good
an opportunity to let slip away." He said it was important for students to listen to "a diversity of opinions on today's critical issues"
"That's the essence of free expression," Guth said. "Something our school values."

OUR VIEW
Homecoming week no longer matters to students
This week is supposed to be different from other weeks. The crimson and blue should be flowing out of your veins. The enthusiasm on campus should be bubbling. This week everyone should feel proud that they are a Jayhawk because it's homecoming week.
Do you feel that? We certainly don't. A week with festivities has
now turned into just your average week for most students. It's a week where sororities and fraternities get together and have an excuse to party. The week brings in alumni to the football game for the big parade, but for the average student it's just another week in the long fall semester.
The days of excitement during homecoming week are gone.
Student Union Activities has tried to revive the week with a big-time performer, but it's done little. If you were to survey students on Wescoe Beach, we would venture to say most would not realize it's homecoming week.
You can only do Can-struction and Jayhawk Idol for so many years before you get tired of the
tradition. Week-long events do little to raise the enthusiasm and pride of being a Jayhawk. The spectacle and pageantry that once was homecoming has lost its luster.
Floats are still built by greek houses and other student organizations, but it doesn't seem like they are as important as they were when homecoming
included all students.
Over the past two years the University has tried to bring excitement to the week but it has done very little. From having a block party in South Park to the new Spirit Sprint 5K run, little has been done to include not only the alumni but students as well.
Now homecoming is marked
by the special shirts made by the greek chapters to represent the week. It's about alumni returning to the football game and walking through campus to reflect on the good times. But for the students, it's just marked as the week before fall break.
Women should focus on mind, not body
COMMENTARY
According to a fashion magazine that I idly perused some days ago in a waiting room, large, sultry lips are a fabulous feature in 2006. Long legs spell success. Plentiful bosoms have replaced small boyish frames. And very invasive, below-the-belt procedures to make females appear more like the ladies in professional porn are on the rise. Yes, the appearance of virtually every feminine body part has become a fashion statement.
Thanks to the obsessive and unlimited beautification of media, advertisements, the idea of "success" for women, and boyfriend's beloved pornography collections, the National Organization of Women finds that at least 80 percent of all women are unsatisfied with the appearance of their bodies. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of individuals who go under the knife for cosmetic procedure are also female. And the "ideal" image — hidden behind a plethora of stylists, editors, technology and airbrushes — is not even feasibly attainable.
This idea is particularly harmful to the status of gender equality, which is far from realized in the United States. In 2005 the Census Bureau reported that women earn 54-60 cents for every dollar that a man earns in management, professional, scientific and technical services. The U.S. also has an absurd record of gender equality in politics More than five dozen countries (including developing nations such as Rwanda, Uganda, Argentina, South Africa and Mozambique) have considerably greater percentages of women in government than does the U.S. These statistics seem to be easily forgotten in our nation.
Women are clearly as capable as their male counterparts. Studies have shown that the sexes differ slightly in types of cognitive ability, but the average man is no more
BY ALISON KIELER
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
Obviously, cosmetic procedures are painful and sometimes risky. They are also expensive, unless paid for by parents or significant others in a heartwarming effort to make their sweetheart feel valued. But the increasing popularity of cosmetic surgery is unjust for a more significant reason: By consenting to the idea that cosmetic surgery is necessary for relationships or careers, women undermine their intellectual capabilities and their value as human beings. They succumb to the idea that women are only valuable in the world as aesthetically pleasing creatures.
intelligent than the average woman. Additional research suggests that gender differences are primarily influenced by cultural standards. For instance, because little girls are generally encouraged to be communicative and conscientious, they are more likely than males to communicate well and to be conscientious about obtaining good grades, but less likely to pursue "manly" disciplines related to math or science. Whether women's strengths are culturally learned or not, however, women have proven that they can be capable leaders and brilliant mathematicians and scientists.
Almost fifty years ago women protested their societal status by tossing symbols of oppression in the can — Cosmo and Playboy magazines included — but women today continue to value their manipulative sex appeal over their intellectual capabilities. The power of the female body may be intoxicating, but it is easily abused. At our own University, an academic institution, the most recognized female students are cheerleaders in miniskirts, babes in swimsuit calendars, and, now, Playboy bunnies. It is no wonder that women complain about a lack of respect; many women have barely begun to respect themselves as anything more than eye candy.
Alas, it is unlikely that gender equality will be achieved in America if all women aspire to join the porn industry.
It is past time that all women learn to value themselves as diverse and capable human beings. Women were never intended to conform to a status-quo image to please mankind. In fact, men will continue to love women in all shapes and all sizes. When more women begin to truly respect themselves, more men might even begin to take women seriously.
This month, on Wednesday the 18th, is Love Your Body Day. Ladies, start a revolution. It's time to trash the beauty magazines.

Students, faculty upset by provost's decision
The recent decision by Provost Richard Lariviere revoking student votes in the choice of new faculty members will not endear him to antediluvian "KU Faculty of the Late 60s" like myself. First appointed during unprecedented growth at the University, two-thirds of us are retired or retiring; one-third remain full-time. We chose to stay at KU.

As reported in the Kansan on Tuesday ("Graduate students no longer have vote", 10/3), I am disappointed by Provost Lariviere's decision to forbid graduate student from voting on faculty hires. I am even further disturbed by the "clarification" printed in the Kansan on Wednesday, October 4, suggesting that the Provost's decision is a "reinterpretation of existing policy.

A recent stint (2003-2006) as an elected member of the Faculty and University Councils convinced me, to my great regret, that not only 10.4.2, but also University governance as a whole by faculty and students has been seriously attenuated since the 1970s.
So, from my perspective, the Kansan got it right the first time. With all due respect, what the administration sees as mere "reinterpretation" appears to us as disenfranchise and denial.
The fault lies with the entrenchment of a professional class of University administrators,far removed from the needs of teach-

Specifically, the code says that "students are not necessarily included" in "committees which are concerned with the application of policies to specific individuals or situations," yet says nothing about forbidding students from such committees (19.2.3). I do not see how the Provost's office could interpret it as such.

Husker fan: cartoon misunderstood

Jason Whitlock makes fun of Mangino constantly in his Kansas City Star column. I am glad to hear that Washington has recovered and I think Kansas fans need to know the facts before throwing a fit.
Thank you again for writing the facts, letting people make their own opinions, and not sensationalizing the story (unlike the Omaha TV station).

>> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Asking the question "What would Jesus do?" is an excellent method to reflect on the ethics of one's actions. That question came to mind when I read about how Attorney General Phill Kline was going to various churches to further his reelection campaign. His own campaign memo states that one objective for attending these worship services would be to meet "money" people for the purpose of getting large campaign contributions.
Kline's methods violate Jesus' teachings

Questions remain regarding death of Colorado gunman
BY JON SARCHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The man who took six girls hostage at a Colorado high school last week was shot four times as the standoff ended, once by his own gun and three times by SWAT officers, according to autopsy results released Wednesday by state officials.
Authorities were awaiting more information to determine whether Duane Morrison died from the self-inflicted gun-shot wound or the officers' shots, said Lance Clem, spokesman for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

Clem also said school surveillance tapes showed Morrison's yellow Jeep in the parking lot of the school near Bailey, about 40 miles southwest of Denver, the day before the shooting. District superintendent Jim Walpole said officials do not know what Morrison had been doing at the school then.
"We want to make it certain around the country that the schoolhouse is a safe place for children to learn. May God bless Emily's family."
Clem said autopsy results showed that Morrison killed Keyes with a single gunshot to the back of the head. She and the other five girls had been sexually assaulted, Sheriff Fred Wegener has said.

IRAQ WAR
Unfounded rumors about U.S. troops cause hostile feelings among Iraqi locals
BY ANTONIO CASTANEDA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HADITHA, Iraq — Word spread quickly: A Marine search dog had escaped and was roaming the streets attacking children. But the Marines didn't have any dogs in Haditha at the time.
Nevertheless, Marines found themselves having to quash yet another of the baseless rumors that often sweep this city of about 50,000 people, most of them Sunni Arabs wary of U.S. intentions in Iraq.
Rumors — most of them malign-
ing U.S. troops — are a staple of life in the embattled, isolated cities of Anbar province, a region that is a center of the Sunni Arab-led insurgency and where telephones don't work and newspapers rarely appear.
Many residents are afraid to visit other parts of the country such as Baghdad, 140 miles to the southeast, for fear they'll run afoul of Shiite death squads.
In their isolation, most people rely on Arab television networks such as Al-Jazeera for news of the outside world. For local news, the main medium is word of mouth.
No one is sure how the dog rumor started but soon, terrified people were complaining to tribal leaders about a violent animal on the loose. The director of the city hospital even told reporters that seven children had been bitten.
The Americans must be to blame, many people concluded.
"We heard this from the people about dogs roaming the street, the market, that have bitten 20 people," one tribal leader was overheard complaining to a Marine officer.
"Well, they're not our dogs. Wed know if they were ours," replied Capt.
Andy Lynch of Chicago, a company commander in the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment.
That didn't satisfy the sheik, who insisted: "Our dogs don't bite."
Lynch told him the Marines didn't have any search dogs in Haditha. And if they had any, he added, they would have searchers out in force if one got loose. Military search dogs "cost more to train than a Marine," he joked.
The sheik was eventually convinced that if there were dogs on the prowl, they were probably packs of strays that regularly roam the city.
Earlier this year, Marines accidentally started fires in two fields in Haditha by shooting warning flares at approaching cars. But insurgents or skeptical residents inflated the story into something much different.
"The people were talking about how the Marines were going and setting people's crops on fire," Lynch said. "Then we had to go out and explain the whole thing."
The city's sectarian makeup makes it a fertile ground for anti-American rumors.
Haditha and most of Anbar is dominated by Sunni Arabs, whose minority was long dominant in Iraq but fell from power with the toppling of Saddam Hussein. Now their long-time rivals in the Shiite majority lead the government and military.
Some of the hostility may also stem from the Marines' own actions. Marines based in Haditha last year allegedly killed 24 civilians after one of their comrades died in a roadside bombing. The Marine Corps is still investigating and no charges have been filed.
Local people are more likely to believe their fellow Sunnis — even those in the insurgency — than strangers like Marines.
TEAMWORK PART-TIME PACKAGE HANDLERS
"I think there's definitely more of a burden (on Marines) that we're telling the truth, compared to the guy who's on the street spreading rumors, because we're not from here," Lynch said.
Regardless of the reasons, rumors and misinformation make it harder for the Marines to win trust and cooperation of Sunni civilians.

Former tight end shines in defense spot

KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Russell Brorsen, sophomore, defensive end has made a smooth transition from the offensive side of the ball to the defensive. Brorsen made an immediate impact in his first career start against Nebraska. Brorsen should continue to play significant minutes on defense the rest of the season.
Russell Brorsen proves himself back in the position that brought him first-team all-state years ago
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Two games into the 2005 season, Russell Brorsen found out he belonged on defense.
As a freshman last season, he earned his first career start at tight end in the game against Appalachian State. However, all Brorsen remembered from the game was dropping a pass in the end zone from quarterback Brian Luke on a two-point conversion attempt.
It was the only pass to come his way all season. Now a sophomore, Brorsen is back to his natural position at defensive end. He earned his first career start on defense last week and proved he could disrupt the opposition's passing game.
Brorsen had appeared in Kansas' first four games as a backup, but in that limited time was only able to hit the quarterback once. As the Nebraska game approached, a starting spot opened up for him in place of senior defensive end Rodney Allen. Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Allen was banged up, and Brorsen had shown he was comfortable enough in the defensive to start.
"It was pretty exciting to finally get my first start, and being at Nebraska made it even better," Brorsen said.
Despite making the start on the road in front of more than 85,000 raucous fans, he said he wasn't intimidated or overwhelmed. Instead, facing a starting offensive line that averaged. 305 pounds, the 240-pound
Brorsen couldn't be stopped.
Against the Cornhuskers, he recorded six tackles — one shy of tying for the team lead — recovered a fumble, and forced another when he sacked Zac Taylor. Three of the tackles were solo and one was for a loss.
Those numbers were reminiscent of the ones Brorsen put up at Stillwater High School in Stillwater, Okla. There he was named first-team all-state and amassed 287 tackles and 34 sacks in his career. However, a thin depth chart at tight end last season put Brorsen's defensive career on hold.
He appeared in 11 games last season at tight end and on special
teams, starting two, and was one of only three true freshmen to see action during the season.
When Kansas added more depth at tight end this season, Bronsen was able to move back to defensive end, but he had to completely relearn the position.
"It took me a little while to make the switch back, because on offense you have to be a little more controlled and your stance is different," Brorsen said. "On defense, you get a lot more freedom."
In addition, he had to correct some bad habits that he acquired in high school. As a result, Brorsen didn't even appear on Kansas' preseason depth chart.
To ascend the depth chart,
Brorsen said he remained confident in himself and worked hard to learn the system and get the feel for playing defensive end again.
With Kansas preparing for its matchup against Texas A&M, Mangino wouldn't rule out the possibility of Brors cracking the starting lineup again.
"I know that he'll play significant time," Mangino said. "Whether we're going to start him or not, I think that's premature. Probably not, but don't hold me to it."

VOLLEYBALL
Loss to Tigers perpetuates losing streak for Jayhawks
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team continued its midseason slump after being swept at Missouri last night.
It was the Jayhawks' fourth straight Big 12 loss of the season. Last year, Kansas had an eight-game losing streak, but was able to bounce back and make the postseason. The team went through similar streaks in 2003 and 2004.
"We've kind of made it our style to go through ruts like that," Emily Brown, junior right side hitter, said. "We're going to need work hard and keep the morale up because we just keep piling up loss after loss, and you're like 'Oh my gosh.'"
Kansas (8-8, 1-6 Big 12 Conference) lost to No. 17 Missouri (12-4, 6-1), 19-30, 26-30 and 18-30 at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo.
The Tigers dominated the Jayhawks with 10 service aces, which came mainly from the jump serve.
"It comes in fast, and sometimes you think it is going out,

but they drop in," Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said. "At the last minute they drop on the line."
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said
Missouri's aggressive serving consistently took his team out of its offensive system. He said the team also struggled with passing, which tended to break down the entire offense.
Kansas was unable to hit efficiently — Missouri posted a.421 hitting percentage compared with Kansas'. 187.
"We've got to play extremely clean, fundamental volleyball to win." Bechard said.

football brief
Meier cleared to play Saturday against A&M
Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against Texas A&M by Kansas medical staff.
Kansas coach Mark Mangi-
no said he still must deem
Meler ready to play before any
official announcement on a
starter would be made.
But that's not a guarantee that he'll play.
"He has to feel good," he said after Wednesday night's practice. "He has to function in every facet of the game and that's what we're working on here in the last couple of days."
He has seen what Mangino described as a "reasonable" amount of snaps in practice this week. Because he has not seen any serious repetitions during the past few weeks, Mangino said Meier was dealing with some fatigue.
Meier was cleared before Tuesday afternoon's practice.
Mangino said he was unsure whether Meler would start or come in at some point during the game.
If Meier is not cleared by Mangino, senior Adam Barmann will start his third consecutive game.
Meier injured his right arm during a loss to Toledo three weeks ago. During the game, Meier had the worst performance of his career, throwing four interceptions.
If Meier is able to play,
Mangino with Meier told him after the loss to Toledo that the injury to his right arm occurred early in the fourth quarter of that game. Meier was running the ball when his right arm was driven into the turf.
Before the injury, Meier had thrown two touchdowns and two interceptions. After the injury, Meier threw an interception during the fourth quarter and during overtime. He also mishandled a handoff to running back Jon Cornish.

Kansas State coach betrays player, team with decision

Congratulations, Ron Prince. You have brought nothing but losing and a lack of class to the Wildcats in recent weeks.
On Sunday, following Kansas State's 17-3 loss to Baylor, Prince told the media that true freshman Josh Freeman would start in place of senior Dylan Meier. The problem: Prince forgot to tell Meier. When Meier spoke with reporters following the game, he was surprised to find out he was no longer the starter.

Prince must be talking about performance in practice or about Freeman's play in high school because Freeman has not looked like a quarterback who is ready to play in the Big 12 so far this season. He has thrown four interceptions and zero touchdowns. Freeman is expected to resurrect an offense that has averaged fewer than 300 total yards per game and was the first Big 12 team since the inception of the conference to not score a touchdown against Baylor.
Meier and Freeman are the only two quarterbacks on the Kansas State roster after Prince ran three other quarterbacks from the program before the season even started.
According to the Kansas State depth chart, true freshman Leon Patton replaced Thomas Clayton as
the Wildcats' starting running back. Clayton is not even listed among the team's backups, but he has been Kansas State's most reliable weapon.

A new car, set to debut in 2007, will be the latest development for NASCAR, a sport that has evolved from its early days of racing on the beaches in Daytona, Fla. to roaring down the backstretch of new state-of-the-art track like the Kansas Speedway.
Tony Stewart coasts across the finish line out of gas to win the Banquet 400 NASCAR race on Sunday, October 1, 2006, in Kansas City, Kan. Second-place finisher Casey Mears also coated across out of gas, as the race finished in a game of who could avoid one final pit stop.

formance. The car will include a more upright windshield, stronger steel-plated leftside door panels and materials that absorb force to lessen impact on the driver. The driver will also sit closer to the center of the car, farther away from the impact during a crash.
Brett Bodine, a former NASCAR driver and owner, played a major role in the development of the car.
Bodine said he was pleased with NASCAR's technological progress during the last 50 years.
"NASCAR now has a lot more tools in its toolbox to govern the sport," Bodine said. "The results of that are safer cars, lever playing fields, better competition." The car

Freeman will start his first career game on Saturday at home against Oklahoma State. Prince said he knew what needed to be done for Freeman to be successful on Saturday against a team that has had two weeks to prepare for this game.
"We want to make sure that we have good support around him. Everybody around him has to play a clean game," Prince said at his
weekly press conference on Tuesday.
The Wildcats will have difficulty providing good support for Freeman considering the offense will start five freshmen on Saturday. Kansas State and Prince will drop to 0-2 in conference play on Saturday and the team's two losses will be against the two worst teams in the Big 12 South. Imagine who Prince throws under the bus after Saturday's loss.

Ramirez said the program was not only offered to student athletes.

When asked if Tiger Plaza was the apartment complex giving the

Looks like the Board
of Regents approved a measure to allow the University of Montana and Montana State University to offer three-year contracts to the head coaches of football and men's and women's basketball.
"It's definitely a positive to recruit coaches when they see the commitment you've made to them." O'Day said. "It's hard to visit with a lot of coaches when you say you've got a one-year contract."
sities that offer multi-year deals. Montana was one of the few states in the country that only offered one-year contracts to collegiate coaches.
"Right now I don't know of any others that are doing the one-year contract," O'Day said. "We've pretty much been a dinosaur in that fact. We've moved out of the dark ages."
O'Day said the University of Montana can finally be on the same playing field as other univer-

Indians exercise contract options after bad season
5
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians quickly took care of some business following a disappointing season by exercising contract
options for 2007 on steady starter Jake Westbrook and utilityman Casey Blake on.
The club also declined a mutual option with third baseman Aaron Boone, making him eligible for free agency.
Westbrook and Blake were consistent in a season when the Indians won 15 fewer games than in 2005 and missed the playoffs for the fifth straight year.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.
— Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson had right hip replacement surgery.
Team spokesman John Black said there is
no timetable for the 61-year-old coach's return to training camp, which opened with assistant coach Kurt Rambis running the drills.
The 45-minute operation was performed at the Centinela Hospital Medical Center. Jackson, who will be re-evaluated next week, said Monday at the team's media day that he plans to be ready when the Lakers open the season Oct. 31 against Phoenix.

Salary cap relief allows team a few new players
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
8
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Devils leading scoring Brian Gionta and four other veterans signed with New Jersey after the NHL gave the team
$3.5 million in salary cap relief by placing veteran forward Alexander Mogilny on the long-term injury exception list.
Defensemen Paul Martin and Dave Hale, backup goaltender Scott Clemmensen and center
Erik Rasmussen signed one-year contracts as the Devils finalized their roster without violating the league's $44 million salary cap.
Just last week it appeared that the Devils might have to trade some key players to get under the cap, but general manager Lou Lamioriello removed $7.1 million from the cap in the past three days by trading defenseman Vladimir Malakhov ($3.6 million) to San Jose and getting Mogilny and his $3.5 million salary qualified for the exception because of a hip injury.
Gionta, who set a team record with 48 goals last season, and Martin were the main beneficiaries of the new money.

NBA chooses new ball, Shaq says it's too slippery

NEW YORK — Some of the NBA's biggest stars say the new game ball is too sticky when dry, too slippery when wet.
wet, and too — well, not the old one.
The league is convinced it's better, no matter what the likes of Shaquille O'Neal, Dwyane Wade or Steve Nash have to say about it.
"Sure, you hear some comments that aren't as positive as the overwhelming majority of people that we tested the ball with," Stu Jackson, executive vice president of basketball operations, said Tuesday. "That's going to happen. Everyone that handles the ball loves the grip and the feel of the ball."
Not Shaq, who said the bail "feels like one of those cheap balls that you buy at the toy store, indoor-outdoor balls."
The NBA's old leather balls are being replaced this season by a microfiber composite model, the league's first change in 35 years.
Both O'Neal and Wade griped about the ball's slick grip when wet, and two-time reigning MVP Steve Nash said the ball has a tacky feel that makes shooting and certain types of passes tricky.

Twins fall to the Athletics in Game 2 of series
BY DAVE CAMPBELL ASSOCIATED PRESS.
MINNEAPOLIS — Playing it safe? Not Torii Hunter's style. That's why he has five Gold Gloves.
Minnesota's Nick Punto slides head-first into first base, just after Oakland's Nick Swisher caught the ball for a ground-out during the third inning of Game 2 of the American League Divisional Series at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Wednesday.
Trying to make a tough catch right after his Minnesota teammates tied the game with back-to-back home runs, Hunter missed — and Oakland took advantage.
32
Mark Kotsay circled the bases for a two-run, inside-the-park homer after Hunter's ill-advised dive for a sinking line drive, lifting the Athletics over the Twins 5-2 on Wednesday for a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.
"It was the worst feeling in the world. You can't do anything about it," said Hunter, who blamed himself for the defeat.
Richard Marshall/ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
The A's handled the Boof — Bonser, that is — and here's the truth: Oakland has arrived at yet another elimination game. The perennial playoff underperformers are 0-9 in those since 2000, losing four straight first-round series.
"This team knows what to do," said Eric Chavez, a regular on all four of those clubs. "We're hard-nosed baseball players that like to play the game. I don't think anybody here, regardless if they've been in this position, is going to take Game 3 lightly."
The series shifts west Friday, with Twins right-hander Brad Radke taking his broken shoulder socket to the mound for possible the final appearance of his 12-year career.
Dan Haren, in his first postseason start, will pitch for Oakland — which beat Cy Young Award favorite Johan Santana in Game 1 and now gets two chances to close it out at home.
"We've won two games, OK Congratulations. Good job. But it's not over yet," said Nick Swisher, who doubled against Juan Rincon and scored on Joe Nathan's wild pitch in the ninth.
The As had one mishap in the ninth, however. Second baseman Mark Ellis broke his right index finger swinging at a high, inside pitch, and Oakland said it would update his condition at Thursday's workout.
For the Twins, it's certainly not over, considering they came from 12/1/2 games back to win the AL Central. Plus, there's the recent history of these As, even though Chavez and Barry Zito are the only players remaining from 2000 and just a handful are left from 2003.
"We've been backed up before," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We've been told, 'you're done' before. That's not something that this team takes too lightly. We'll come out and battle. We'll give them everything we have."
Oakland starter Esteban Loaiza slipped in the sixth inning, surrendering consecutive solo homers to Michael Cuddyer and Justin Morneau that evened the game at 2.
But with Jason Kendall on first, two outes in the seventh and reliev
er Dennys Reyes pitching, Kotsay hit what should have been a single. Hunter, bothered by a sore left foot this season, charged forward.
The ball sliced to Hunter's left, and his reach wasn't long enough to get near it.
"There's only one person in this league that can make that catch, and it's Tori," said Cuddery, who watched from right field. "Although it's as close as you come, he's not Superman."
Added Gardenhire: "When he goes after a ball, I don't second-guess him. Ever."
Kotsay, also a center fielder, felt bad for Hunter.
"Once you commit, you're kind of in no-man's land, and it's best to go," Kotsay said. "He went, and for his sake, unfortunately, the ball took off."
Bonser struck out three in six innings, giving up two runs and seven hits. Sidearmer Pat Neshek, who took the loss, started the seventh before yielding to Reyes.
Marco Scutaro hit an RBI double for the second straight game, and Huston Street worked the ninth for his second save in as many days after
blowing 11 chances during the regular season. Street gave up a single to Jason Bartlett and a walk to Luis Castillo, but he retired Nick Punto on a popup on a 3-2 pitch with batting champion Joe Mauer on deck.
After Scutaro drove him Swisher with a double, Kendall's one-out RBI single gave the AS's 2-0 lead.
Loaiza, who had an up-and-down year marked by a trip to the disabled list in May, a drunken-driving arrest in June and an outstanding
"We came here and did the unthinkable in most people's eyes," Swisher said.
August, scattered six singles over the first five innings and had flawless defense behind him from Swisher at first base, Scutaro at shortstop and Chavez at third. He was looking until he left a 3-2 pitch over the plate for Cuddyyer to crush into the seats.
Morneau came next, sending a 1-2 delivery soaring into the upper deck. Suddenly, the game was tied and Loaiza was leaving the mound, replaced by Kiko Calero — who got three outs and, eventually, the win.

New York Mets beat Dodgers, 6-5, in playoff game opener
MIKE FITZPATRICK
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Minus two top starters, the New York Mets got dynamic postseason debuts from Carlos Delgado and David Wright to jump ahead of the Dodgers.
Back in the playoffs for the first time since losing the 2000 Subway Series, the Mets capitalized on a wild baserunning blunder by Los Angeles and a perfectly respectable performance from emergency starter John Maine in a 6-5 victory Wednesday.
Billy Wagner closed it for his first postseason save, fanning Nomar Garciaparra with a runner on second for the final out.
Playing in the first playoff game of his 14-year career, Delgado had four hits, a mammoth homer and the go-ahead RBI in the seventh inning. Wright drove in three runs, helping the Mets take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series.
Game 2 is Thursday night, with rookie left-hander Hong-Chih Kuo on the mound for the Dodgers against 290-game winner Tom Glavine. Kuo

New York Mets first baseman Carlos Delgado struggles to catch a foul ball hit by Los Angeles Dodgers' Normar Garciaparra in the first inning of the first game of the National League Division Series at Shea Stadium in New York on Wednesday. Delgado did not make the play. The Mets won the game 6-5.
Henny Ray Abrams/ASSOCIATED PRESS
pitched six shutout innings at Shea Stadium on Sept. 8 for his only major league win.
The Mets started a rookie of their own in the opener after Orlando Hernandez tore a muscle in his right calf while jogging in the outfield Tuesday. He is expected to miss the entire postseason.
Already without injured ace Pedro Martinez, New York scrambled Tuesday night to find a healthy, rested starter and picked Maine, an afterthought in the offseason trade that sent Kris Benson to Baltimore for reliever Jorge Julio.
Julio was shipped to Arizona in May for Hernandez, but Maine became a surprising success. The 25-year-old right-hander went 6-5 with a 3.60 ERA for the NL East champions, who tied the crosstown Yankees for the best record in baseball at 97-65.
Yet he probably would have been left out of the playoff rotation altogether if Martinez hadn't gone down.
Maine, lifted with a 2-1 lead in the fifth after throwing 80 pitches, got a break on a bizarre play when the Dodgers had two runners cut down at home plate in the second.
Drew was left in no-man's land, trapped about halfway between third and home. But Lo Duca, who got spun around on the play at the plate, didn't realize that at first as he struggled to his feet.
That left I.D. Drew, who was on first, practically running up Kent's back as coach Rich Donnelly waved one — or both — around third. A quick, accurate relay from right fielder Shawn Green to second baseman Jose Valentin to catcher Paul Lo Duca nailed Kent, who attempted a headfirst dive into the plate.
With two on and none out, rookie Russell Martin hit an opposite-field drive off the base of the right-field wall. But Jeff Kent hesitated at second base, apparently thinking the ball might be caught, and got an extremely late jump.
With Lo Duca unaware for a moment, Drew tried to sneak his way in. But Maine pointed at Lo Duca, alerting him that another runner was coming. The catcher turned his head, suddenly noticed Drew bearing down on him and applied a second tag as Drew also tried a headfirst dive.
It was the kind of sequence you
plans to rely heavily on its deep bullpen all series. Wagner allowed an RBI double to pinch-hitter Ramon Martinez in the ninth before striking out Garciaparra.
Aaron Heilman worked a perfect eighth for New York, which
all the Dodgers got after running themselves out of a potentially big inning.

Las Vegas Walk of Stars honors Siegfried, Roy
LAS VEGAS — Three years to the day after being critically injured on stage by a tiger, Roy Horn was inducted into the Las Vegas Walk of Stars along with his longtime showbiz partner Siegfried Fischbacher.
The ceremony took place Tuesday in front of The Mirage hotel, home of the duo's act from 1990 until Oct. 3, 2003, when Horn was attacked.
Horn was in critical condition for several weeks after the attack, and was said to have suffered a stroke and partial paralysis. He was walking a bit slower Tuesday, and his speech was sluggish at times.
The German-born performers were given police escorts to the Walk of Stars ceremony, waving to fans through a sun roof. Dozens of fans cheered when Horn approached a podium.
"Good afternoon, everybody, my-name is Roy," Horn said to applause.
Fischbacher thanked fans. —Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD Paris Hilton fights former Blink 182's drummer's ex
LOS ANGELES — Can Travis Barker really have this effect on women? His estranged wife, Shanna Moakler, was involved in a nightclub fracta with Paris Hilton early Wednesday morning.
Barker, the drummer for Blink- 182, filed for divorce in August from
Hilton says Moakler walked up to her, "used the most vile of language" and then punched her in her jaw.
Moakler, a former beauty queen who was recently voted off "Dancing With the Stars" in September, Barker was apparently videotaped kissing Hilton, who needs no introduction.
Then Hilton encountered Moakler at the Hyde club in Hollywood last night. The following reenactment is based on reports by police, publicists for both women, but unfortunately no pugilistic experts:
Moakler contends she exchanged mere profanities with Hilton, at which point Hilton's ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos emerged from the entourage, bent Moakler's wrists, poured a drink on her and shoved her down some stairs.
TMZ.com posted what it said was video of Barker and Hilton making out in a New York nightclub last month. But Hilton's publicist, Elliot Mintz, said the two are "just friends."
Hilton, 25, and Moakler, 31, both filed police reports alleging battery.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart looks for a receiver as he takes over from quarterback Kurt Warner in the second half in the football game against the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Oct. 1.
New QB starting for Arizona Sunday
BY BOB BAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEMPE, Ariz. — The starting call has come earlier than expected for Matt Leinart, who went through his first practice as an NFL first-string quarterback on Wednesday
Leinart capped the session with a little extra work on the field with Edgerrin James, then pronounced himself confident for his first start for Arizona on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, although he acknowledged, "They're probably licking their chops with a rookie quarterback coming in"
With costly mistakes plaguing Kurt Warner and the sputtering offense, coach Dennis Green decided to switch to Leinart, who was supposed to spend the entire season learning as a backup.
"This was not our intention. It's not what we wanted," Green said, "but we're 1-3 and just so many turnovers have brought it on."
Leinart has impressed coaches and teammates since he came to the Cardinals after a surprising drop to the No.10 pick in the draft.
"I think you've got to understand who Matt Leinart is," Green said. "As far as college football is concerned, I don't know if there's a quarterback in the history of the game who has had as much success on that level."
USC was 37-2 with Leinart at quarterback, earning two national championships and winning a Heisman Trophy for him in 2004. But that was not the NFL, and it wasn't the downtrodden Cardinals, who are off to a 1-3 start for the fourth year in a row and have one
winning season since 1984.
"What I want to try to do is not cram everything in and try to do too much," he said. "I'm comfortable with what I'm doing. Really, football is obviously studying your opponent and knowing what you're going to do, but really just playing, just going out there thinking and
He will operate behind a suspect offensive line that drew a public berating by Green this week. On his weekly radio show, the coach said it was time for the line to "stop whining" and work harder.

"I think they're going to be fine," Leinart said.
Two players from Texas show strengths from high school
BY BETSY BLANEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
LUBBOCK, Texas — Their nearly flawless Texas high school careers behind them, Graham Harrell and Chase Daniel are just beginning to make their marks at Big 12 schools.
Harrell, Texas Tech's quarterback, and Daniel, who leads No. 23 Missouri, went a combined 72-4 at Ennis and Southlake Carroll, a pair of Dallas-area schools. But the sophomores never played one another, making Saturday's matchup the first one-stop glimpse at two of the state's most prolific high school passers.
They're bringing a little momentum into an important conference game. Harrell threw a last-minute touchdown pass to give Tech (4-1, 1-0 Big 12) a 31-27 victory at Texas A&M last week, and Daniel has Missouri (5-0, 1-0) vying for its first 6-0 start in 33 years.
One of their high school coaches believes both quarterbacks are gaining valuable experience early in their college careers.
Both are in the top 10 in total offense nationally. Harrell is fourth, averaging 310 yards per game. Daniel isn't far behind at No. 10, averaging 281 yards per game.
"To me, there's not a whole lot replacing getting to play," said Graham Harrell's father and high school coach, Sam Harrell, who kept an eye on Daniel's schoolboy career. "That's the best teacher of all."
In 2001, the year before Southlake Carroll moved up from Class 4A to 5A, Harrell led Ennis past the Dragons 49-17 in the semifinals en route a state title. But Daniel was a ninth-grader and did not play until
the following year, when he was a receiver. He started at quarterback his last two years.
Harrell, a year ahead of Daniel, was a two-time 4A player of the year at Ennis, where he was 41-3 as a three-year starter, Daniel, who turns 20 Saturday, was twice named the 5A player of the year and had a two-year record of 31-1. Each won a state title.
"I think successful people are
going to be successful no matter what level it is," Graham Harrell said. "Being successful in high school helped prepare us, and we want to win. I think that's why they're 5-0 and we're 4-1."
"I think successful people are going to be successful no matter what level it is. Being successful in high school helped prepare us, and we want to win. I think that's why they're 5-0 and we're 4-1."
From 2000-
03 at Ennis,
Harrell threw
for 12,532
yards — the
most in Texas high school history — and 167 TDs.
GRAHAM HARRELL Texas Tech quarterback
Daniel generated 11,252 yards in two seasons — 8,289 with 91 touchdowns throwing and 2,954 with 39 more scores rushing.
Like he did in high school, Daniel is using his arm and his legs. He has 1,273 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and just four interceptions and another 130 rushing yards. That mobility is why Daniel fits where he landed, Sam Harrell said.
they found them a good one in him. He's really making them roll right now."
Harrell's teammates know his history and trust him.
"That's their philosophy," he said. "They're looking for quarterbacks who are a dual threat, and
"We always talk about how young he is, but he has played the last six or seven years, counting high school," Tech receiver Jarrett Hicks said. "So, I guess it is to the point that nothing amazes me now. I know he is going to make the pass
I guess it falls on our shoulders to make the play now."
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel echoed Hicks.
“(Graham) Harrell, at quarterback, is playing outstanding,” he said. “They score a lot points ... and have one of the best passing games in the country.”
But as much
as he admires Harrell, Pinkel makes no secret of his respect for Daniel.
"You can coach poise and some guys develop it, but he just got it," Pinkel said. "He knows what he's doing, and he's a smart, intelligent guy."
Itd be easy to make the Red Raiders-Tigers game a showdown between their high school programs.
"Maybe in (Dallas-Fort Worth) ... some people might," Harrell said. "But high school's high school. We're in college now. It's Missouri versus Texas Tech, not Ennis versus Southlake."

Columnists discuss Tigers' victory, Aggies' loss
Missouri starts out strong, shows promise for Big 12 championship
The Missouri Tigers defeated Coloado 28-13 on Saturday and moved to the top of the Big 12 North. In Tuesday's edition of The Maneater, columnist Shawn Garrison wrote that Missouri had made big strides under head coach Gary Pinkel.
The Missouri football team has officially passed its first test of theason. For the
It might seem a little disheartening that it has taken more than three years for the Tigers to win the games that they're supposed to, but there's no denying that this team is showing a level of maturity that was nowhere to be found during the past four seasons.
first under coach Gary Pinkel, the Tigers have not dropped a game in the opening five games of the season.
That maturity was never more evident than on Saturday as Missouri pulled out a 28-13 victory against Colorado. The Buffaloes were hanging with the Tigers at the start of the second half when Colorado quarterback Bernard Jackson completed a 63-yard pass to Dusty Sprague and two plays later punched the ball into the end zone to make the score 21-13.
The Tigers followed with a horrendous drive that stalled after a series of questionable play calls, including a trick pass play to Chase Daniel; a kneel-down after it appeared that Daniel mistakenly thought there was an offside penalty, but the play was never blown dead and a fake field goal on consecutive plays.
A series of eerily similar events occurred three weeks ago at the start of the second half of the Tigers' game against Ole Miss that produced the same results.
Colorado had the ball with good field position, putting Missouri against the ropes.
In years past, this was the cue for the Tigers to lose their composure, fall apart and suffer a devastating loss. But not this team. The Tiger defense forced a quick three-and-out, and the offense followed that with a touchdown drive to make the score 28-13 and regain control.
And that, Tiger fans, is why there is reason to believe this team is legitimate. The ability to take a punch, to have things not go their way and still keep their composition leads me to believe that we could be seeing the Tigers playing for a Big 12 championship come December.
That's not to say that everything is perfect on Faurot Field. The past three victories have all been ugly. Missouri's top-ranked defense gave up 373 yards to the worst team in the Big 12 on Saturday. As good as Daniel has been, he still tends to stare down his receivers from time to time and needs to learn when to cut his losses and take a sack. And the best team the Tigers defeated a total of three games last season.
Now the Tigers travel to Lubbock, Texas, to face Texas Tech The game will be nationally televised Saturday night on TBS, and the real test will begin.
But the Tigers are 5-0 for the first time since 1981. That Pinkel was able to lead his team through the first five games without stumbling has to rank the victory against Colorado on Saturday as one of the biggest during his tenure at Missouri.
Two new rules that cut down game time also cut down on possessions for both Texas Tech and Texas A&M, changing the game dramatically

Texas A&M lost to Texas Tech after a last-minute drive gave the Red Raiders the game-winning touchdown. In Tuesday's issue of The Battalion, Ryan Mulligan wrote that new NCAA rules governing the clock may have been a factor in the game. Texas A&M heads to Lawrence this weekend to face Kansas in the Jayhawks' Homecoming game.
It was only a matter of time before the new clock rules became a disadvantage for the Aggies.

In June, the NCAA Football Rules Committee came out with its annual list of rule changes. Among those were rule 3-2-5 and rule 3-2-5e. The former says that the clock will start on the kick-off when the ball is kicked and the latter says that when a

released in August.
Many prominent NCAA Division I coaches, including Texas A&M head coach Dennis Franchione, have come out against the committee's decisions.
Before the 2006 season, the clock did not run until a free-kick hit the ground. In addition, after a change of possession the clock did not start until the start of the next play.

"I don't care whether we get done quicker or shorter or what TV does," Franchione said. "Right now I don't have a very good taste for this rule."
Adams said the new rules were intended to cut approximately 30 plays from last year's average of 166 plays per game. This intention is exactly what most coaches disagree with, because a shorter game limits the amount of possessions and eliminates scoring opportunities.

"It probably cost us two touchdowns," Leach said. "It probably cost them some points too."
A&M had momentum going into the final minute.
The new rules are certainly not the only factor worth blaming for A&M's loss, but there is no doubt their effects were felt and they need to be reconsidered.

editor's note
Most people have some sort of tradition they carry on, whether it's with friends or family. While attending college, new traditions are added, especially when at the University of Kansas. From waving the wheat at sporting events to sledding down the Campanile Hill on lunch trays from Mrs. E's, those students who get involved with the University pick up these rare customs, making a big school like the University a lot smaller, like a family.
These fun activities continue by word of mouth, through family members that have attended here or of course by the event during Hawk Week called Traditions Night. But one of the reasons these traditions continue is because people keep coming back here. Students are fortunate to have alumni that stay active. They are typically seen at events such as Homecoming, where many tents fill the Campanile hillside, re-living their college days, grilling and sipping on a few beers.
Although this week is an event where we blatantly see these alumni, they do more behind the scenes that students aren't always aware of. KU officials have been labeling this University as "state-aided" rather than "state-funded" because the state of Kansas doesn't fund all the programs the University offers. So in order for all those to exist, the University relies on more private dollars, or in other words alumni. Not only should students thank them for

carrying on these sometimes goofy traditions, students should thank them for continually contributing back to the University.
As students it's important to remember that alumni contribute back here, especially when we walk down that same Campanile Hill to graduate. They do so much for students, and someday we will be in that same position and need to carry out this tradition. With Homecoming here already, it is easy to see that it takes a group of people to keep a tradition going.
The University Daily Kansan presents alumni, faculty, students and many others with the annual Homecoming special section. Read on to see the rich traditions still thriving and a schedule of Homecoming events for the rest of the week, with great photos and illustrations. Enjoy the section, go to the Texas A&M football game and be safe this weekend with the "family" surrounding you.

HOMECOMING, BEST EVENT WHILE ATTENDING KU? Some say yes, others beg to differ
BY ADAM MOWDER
Students at the University of Kansas often cite Homecoming week as one of their favorite rituals to be a part of while attending the University.
The memories of participating in such Homecoming activities as float building, chalk art, and, of course, cheering at the Homecoming game, are all events that have ingrained themselves into the collective consciousness of many of the older KU students at the University.
For freshmen, who are as yet uninitiated into the fervor surrounding Homecoming, look forward to the week's traditions with almost unequaled anticipation. For many of them it will be the first time to ever feel truly at home in their new environment as they are surrounded by all the physical manifestations of school pride.
However, it is not always clear if these emotions will remain with the students after they have graduated from the University, or if the intense school pride associated with Homecoming will begin to ebb as students step into the real world. For some KU alumni, the latter option is definitely not the case.
Sara Koven, 2006 graduate cites the opportunity to re-connect with old friends as her primary motivation for attending the events. Her best friend and fellow 2006 graduate, Emily Klatt, is coming from out of town to participate in the festivities.
She also said that fond memories of the "KU spirit and KU pride" associated with the event
served a decisive role in her return.
"It was always nice to see everyone come together to cheer and enjoy the tradition," Koven said.
Kellie Johnson, a 2006 graduate, had slightly less profound reasons for coming to the events this year, listing good friends, good football and good beer as her primary reasons for returning.
Unfortunately, some alumni don't echo these sentiments.
For Sam Hendricks, a 2006
graduate from Lawrence, the Homecoming frenzy has never really had any appeal for him. His feelings on the matter haven't changed at all since graduation.
"I've never attended any Homecoming events at KU and why should I start now?" he asked.
He lists the responsibilities of his job as another reason for not wanting to join in on the Homecoming experience.
While it's yet to be determined how returning graduates' homecoming experiences will
stack up to those of previous years, most seem to think that their experience will be essentially the same.
When asked if she thought her experience would be any different as an alumnus, Koven said, "Of course it will be different, but when you're a Jayhawk, you're a Jayhawk for life."

George Barnes of Topeka, the KU Athletics Department field supervisor, has been with the University of Kansas for eight years.
Groundskeeper connects with tradition of pride
BY EMILY SOENER
Hanging on the wall of George Barnes' office is a painting that serves as a steadfast reminder that he and his crew are doing more than mowing grass and laying fertilizer.
Three or four years ago, Barnes and his crew were cleaning around Memorial Stadium following a Homecoming football game. There they came across the paintings that the fraternities and sororities create each year. The paintings create a sea of crimson and blue that is sprinkled with varying depictions of the mythical lajhawk. Amidst this sea was a painting the crew thought was exceptional. They discarded the rest, but chose to hang this particular painting in their office.
By appreciating traditions such as the greek's paintings in addition to performing the tasks required of their job, Barnes and his crew are an involved part of Homecoming.
Barnes is the University of Kansas' official field supervisor. He and a crew of three full time members work tirelessly to maintain all athletic fields. As the working supervisor, Barnes and his crew mow, apply fertilizers and pesticides, paint and generally care for all of the athletic fields on campus, both for practices and games.
Barnes truly enjoys his job at the University. He loves being a part of the many traditions. His dad was a student at the University who graduated from the School of Pharmacy.
"I have been a KU fan my whole life because of him," he said.
Barnes has worked as the field supervisor for eight years and has been able to reap the benefits both professionally and personally. He is able to encounter new challenges on the professional field and as an admitted lifelong fan, his encounters with players and coaches give him personal enjoyment. The work
Barnes does for the University is something of a departure from his previous career when he was a factory worker for 20 years. He was laid off and started doing landscaping.
"He brings a lot of knowledge on events and day-to-day operations," Jay Ellis, facilities management director, said. "I rely on George a lot."
"I worked at a golf course in Topeka before I came to KU," he said. "My job now is not exactly landscaping, but it is similar. This new career just sort of evolved."
Barnes's job gives many opportunities for personal contact with members of the Athletics Department.
"George is great working with the coaching staffs, the players and the students. He's just great," Ellis said.
Barnes's extensive experience has put him in high standing with his colleagues.
game, but as far as their work is concerned, it will be business as usual.
Barnes and his staff enjoy the atmosphere of the Homecoming
"From our perspective, there really is not too much special preparation for Homecoming," he said. "We prepare the same for Homecoming as we do with Band Dav or anything like that."
"Crowds are the big thing, and I anticipate a big crowd this Homecoming," he said. "Coach Mangino's success has brought out some really big crowds. I bet we will see 50,000 people or more this year."
Barnes feels that the crowds add to the effect of Homecoming.
Barnes is reserved in nature and proud to work for the University. He, and many others, work hard behind the scenes so the players can take the field.

Alumni band hits high note with Homecoming game
Graduates feed off the crowd support, reunite with friends
BY DYLAN SCHOONOVER
Beverly Bernardi, a four-year feature twirler from 1974 to 1978, said she enjoyed feeling the crowd support the alumni's efforts. She said she continued to come back because of the experience KU provides.
The University of Kansas Alumni Band returns home this Saturday to perform during halftime of the Jayhawks Homecoming game against Texas A&M. Some members will be picking up their instruments for the first time in years, while for others it has been only a few weeks.
"The alumni association rolls out the red carpet for us," she said. "When you step out on
that field, you can feel the spirit of KU running through your veins"
Bernardi said the memories formed with band mates during her years at the University continued to shine through today. She said the sound might be a little off and the members might miss a step marching, but the crowd still fed off their performance.
"We know we aren't perfect." Bernardi said. "We are all here for the same reason. We love KU"
Besides performing at halftime on game day, the alumni plan to celebrate their 34th reunion over the weekend. It's a reunion that Jeff Miller, 1975 graduate, remembers from the beginning. Miller began playing trumpet for the KU marching band in 1971. He has been
back performing during the Homecoming game each year since he graduated. Miller said seeing old friends and getting to perform one more time kept bringing him back.
"I've made many lifelong friendships from marching band," Miller said. "Some of us live far away and it's good to see each other at least one more time."
Before the game, the alumni will rehearse the traditional fight songs that they will perform during the parade. Miller said the parade in the morning gave the band a chance to get the kinks out before they performed in front of the whole stadium. He said nothing could replace marching on the field, but the parade served as the 'pep rally' before the main event.
WELCOME
KANSAS JAYHAWKS

"I've enjoyed every time back," Miller said. "I look forward to many more years to come."
Normally the halftime amenities would pull the crowd away from their seats, but this weekend the audience of 50,071 people will be centered on the field. As Bernardi self-proclaims, it will be exciting to watch the 'World Famous, KU Alumni Band.'

Mark Taylor looks on as Dane Martin holds Missy Martin in the air. The three used to be cheerleaders and returned for a previous Homecoming weekend.
TRADITION OF ALUMNI CHEERLEADERS ENDS
Because of a recent change in policy by the KU Athletics Department, alumni cheerleaders will no longer be allowed to cheer alongside current squad members at the Homecoming football game.
"I am disappointed that it is no longer an option for KU alumni cheerleaders to take part in the Homecoming game," said Dane Martin, 1997 graduate and former cheerleader.
Martin and his wife Missy, 1998 graduate, met through KU cheer, and have returned as alumni to several Homecoming games.
"It has become a bit of a tradition for us, and we will miss it," Martin said. "It was a lot of fun to be in front of a crowd at the football games doing all of the stuff that we love to do."
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said liability issues prompted the policy change, which was made last week.

Stone said the presence of alumni affected the performance of the current squad.
"The current cheerleaders want to look good for the alumni to show them that the cheer program is doing well and they're trying to uphold our strong cheer tradition," said Stone.
"We plan on returning to watch the game as spectators because we enjoy seeing all of our old friends," Martin said.
"They just come on down," Stone said. "They cheer as much of the game as they want to."
Dane and Missy Martin plan on attending this year's game with their two children.
Corey Stone, head cheerleading coach, said that usually around 10 alumni come back for the Homecoming game.
Kansan correspondent Jaime Netzer can be contacted at editor@kansan.com.
"Safety is an issue in cases where people are not in good practice like they were on the squad," he said. "It is the training and proper spotting that makes squads safe."
"The cheerleading association itself has sent out some reminders about cheerleader safety," said Marchiony. "One of the things that the association stressed was that nobody should be out there who is not properly trained."
will not be performing because they haven't been training like our cheerleaders have, and we don't want anybody to get hurt." Marchiony said.
Marchiony said that no specific incident prompted the change.

Martin said that he remembered alumni cheering at every Homecoming game during his time at the University of Kansas.
Martin also said that he understood the Athletics Department's concern over liability issues.
"It was always good to see the people that had cheered before," he said. "Some years, it seemed they came back and were better than the current squad."

From studying at campus libraries to partying at the Wheel, some things never change
BY HAYLEY JONES
As the cliché goes, things never change. That phrase certainly fits for the University of Kansas alumni. The places where students hang out and study are still the same.
Every student has to study somewhere on campus at some point. Mark Logan, 1986 graduate, enjoyed the atmosphere of the graduate library.
"My favorite place to study was at the law library in Green Hall because it was quiet," Logan said. "I wasn't supposed to go there, though, since I was an undergraduate."
Too much studying depletes a student's mind and stomach, so going on a food run was still the typical thing to do. In response to where students went, Kevin Hawley, 1978 graduate said Joe's Bakery, 616 W. 9th St., was the place to go.
"It was open 24 hours a day and we hit it every hour of the day and night," he said. "Of course, that was back in our bottomless-pit days when we could afford to."
Chris Lazzarino, 1986 graduate, said he ate lunch about two times a week at his favorite local restaurant.
"I loved cheeseburgers at The Wheel," he said. "I had a lot of friends who worked there."
In addition to studying and eating, hanging out is a staple of college life. The social venues for Jayhawks of times past remain the same for students today.
"The Sandbar and The Crossing were my favorites," Jenny Harden Dorsten, 1996 graduate, said of her favorite
party spots. "I knew people there, and they always had great music playing."
Whether it's 1986 or 2006, KU students have always had school traditions.
"I was in a fraternity, so we built a float for Homecoming every year," Logan said. "It was usually a Jayhawk stomping on a Tiger or something."
Hawley appreciates that some traditions never grow old, such as the Rock Chalk chant.
"There's nothing else like it on the earth," he said. "It always lights me up."
Dorsten, on the other hand, wishes she could forget an experience that still haunts her.
Best and worst memories are not difficult for these alumni to dig up.
"Mine was the only class that they wouldn't let walk through the campanile," she said. "They decided that it took too long. It was devastating."
"I was in the band," Hawley said. "One of my favorite experiences was running out the shoot to see all those people in the stadium. That's probably most band members' memory — trying to run over people and stuff like that."
After
Despite her disappointment,
Dorsten realizes what counts.
"The things you remember most are the relationships you had and the experiences you shared with the people you cared about," she said.

Texas A&M spirit rivals Kansas Pride
BY BETSY PROFFITT
Founded as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas in 1876, Texas A&M University is one of the most tradition-rich colleges in the nation. Located in College Station, the Aggies may lack our Rock Chalk, but certainly display strong school spirit through their own unique style.
Texas A&M was established as a military institution and, next to academies, is home to the largest uniformed body of students. The school's approximately 2,200 military students are called the Corps of Cadets, and although there is no military obligation, approximately 30 percent are commissioned. The presence of the Corps of Cadets, who have also been called the
Keepers of Spirit and Guardians of Tradition, contributes largely to the strong school spirit.
Nic Taunton, student body president at Texas A&M, said his favorite tradition is "Silver Taps." On the first Tuesday of every month, a ceremony is held in front of the Academic Building honoring students who have recently died.
The school's Department of Student Life Web site explains that the ceremony began in 1898 following the death of Lawrence Sullivan Ross, a general during the American Civil War, former governor of Texas and former Texas A&M president. Thousands of students silently gather together at 10:30 p.m. All campus lights are turned off and the Ross Volunteers, a special
unit in the Corps of Cadets, do a 21-gun salute. Six buglers then play "Silver Taps" three times to conclude the evening.
"It is one of the most selfless acts that can be done to honor a fellow member of our Aggie Family," Taunton, a senior from Katy, Texas, said.
The Corps of Cadets play a leading role in every aspect of Aggie life. Football in the Lone Star State gathers enormous attention and at A&M this is no exception. The cheering student body is called the Twelfth Man and stands throughout the entire game. Jaclyn Sherman, a junior at Texas &M, explains that the name stems from a student in 1922 who was summoned from the stands to suit up when only 11 players remained uninjured.
Because the school does not have cheerleaders, five students are elected each year by the student body to serve as yell leaders for the season. These students lead the Midnight Yell, a pep rally held every night before game day. At this event the Fightin' Texas Aggies Band plays and the yell leaders direct the Twelfth Man as they chant army yells and sing spirit songs. Toward the end of the Midnight Yell the lights go out and the Aggies kiss their dates. If they do not have one then they flick a cigarette lighter and find a match.
bonfire reached 109 feet, and since then, the administration regulated the collaboration of logs to a maximum of 55 feet high.
Probably the most famous Aggie tradition began in the early 1900s when the cadets made a bonfire to congratulate the team's win. Each year the bonfire, as well as the structure itself, grew in popularity and size. The Texas A&M bonfire was the largest in the world consisting of 5,000 logs. In 1969, the
The tradition stopped though because of an accident, which occurred in 1999 when the structure fell during construction killing 12 students and injuring 27 others. A memorial now stands where the pre-Texas game celebration once took place.
Our Homecoming opponents may have a Twelfth Man and strong military backing, but our Jayhawk spirit cannot be topped. When Saturday morning arrives, the crimson and blue will be in full force so be prepared to wave the wheat.

For many years, students at Texas A&M would construct a massive bonfire as part of their homecoming celebration. In 1999, however, the tradition stopped because the structure topped over and fell during construction. The accident killed 12 students and injured another 27.

Professors embrace old traditions of Homecoming celebration
BY LAURA VEST
Tailgating and post-game parties are among some of the most highly-prized festivities that mark the 94-year Homecoming tradition.
There are other traditions, too. Students don't always think them, but professors do — especially since many of them have taught at the University of Kansas for several years.
Lloyd Sponholtz, an associate professor of history who has taught at the University since 1967, mentioned a love for the band, parades and floats.
"I also like the coaches and their pep talks, the student leaders and the Rock Chalk (chant)," he said.
Bernie Kish, professor of sports management and ethics, said he loves reuniting with alumni and former friends and seeing the students interested in football. He said he appreciated a football game against a quality opponent and a packed stadium.
"A full stadium intimidates
the opponent," Kish said. "We used to schedule games against someone we thought we could beat so the alumni could witness a victory."
The sound of a large marching band also appeals to Kish.
"This is what makes Homecoming — the pre-game and the half-time show. KU has always had an outstanding band," he said.
Professor of Spanish Connie Garcia-Blanchard, whose sons have all graduated from the University, said the five senses are a guaranteed way to intensify any experience, including Homecoming.
Garcia-Blanchard said she loves the Homecoming season.
"Fall has its refreshing smells, brilliant orange hues and crisp air that is neither hot nor cold," she said.
"I like the excitement of it all," she said. "It energizes you even if you don't watch sports. It's like a coming home to show alumni the progress we've made."
She also praised the University
for its "sophisticated and thorough approach to Homecoming even the tailging."
"People make an effort for Homecoming," she said. "It gives you a warm feeling."
George Wilson, professor of chemistry for 20 years and associate vice provost for research, said Homecoming has a special purpose on campus.
"The importance is placed on the undergraduate experience," Wilson said. "Tied to this is the need to remain connected with alumni, so if KU Homecoming accomplishes that in part, then it may be quite important."
Whether the festivities lie in a 'perfectly-timed' homework project, in a frozen hand grasping an ice-cold beverage or in the midst of several fans clad in crimson and blue, Homecoming is a time for all to celebrate.

BY ALLIE WILMES
Rising bright and early Saturday morning, students, faculty and supporters line Jayhawk Boulevard awaiting the moment — the 2006 Homecoming Parade.
The annual parade will be held this Saturday at 9:00 a.m. From the Kansas Union to the Chi Omega fountain, floats, banners and bands will show their Jayhawk spirit sporting this year's theme, "Once a Jayhawk, Always a Jayhawk."
This year's parade will consist of 14 floats, 10 competitive banners, three non-competitive banners, two local high school bands and two decorated vehicles. While the greek community makes up the float competition, other organizations such as the Hispanic-American Leadership Organization and the Alumni Association are participating in the banner and decorated vehicle competitions.
"Following the judges criteria with creativity, adherence to scene and participation make a winning float," said Hannah Miller, Grove, Okla., sophomore
and parade coach.
Delta Delta Delta sorority and Triangle fraternity have joined forces for this year's float competition. This team began planning its float in early September and continues to work steadily.
After plans and designs were set the group began pumping, decorating the chicken wire float frames with multi-colored crepe paper squares that is used to decorate the floats. Once pumping is finished the building of the float base and structure will begin. With $648.52 already spent on pumping supplies
before Homecoming week even started, Triangle has budgeted $1,300 for their homecoming float.
Being really organized, working hard, having Triangle as their partner, and being ahead of the game is sure to lead them to a float victory, Maggie Kelly, Overland Park junior and Delta Delta Delta member, said.
Bryce Nordhues, Liberty, Mo., junior and a member of Triangle, agreed and said the group had a winning float thanks to amazing designs and great cooperation.
Fraternities, sororities pair up to build floats that stand out, embody Jayhawk theme.
Delta Chi and Kappa Delta have also paired up for this year's float competition. This pair has worked on its float each night for two weeks prior to the parade. Delta Chi has budgeted about $1,800 for homecoming this year.
This team's preference was to start with the base of the float, figuring dimensions and building the structure therefore saving pumping and decorating for last.

Alternative events to enjoy when avoiding Homecoming hoopla
BY ELLIOT KORT
Does the thought of thousands upon thousands of alumni, family and friends of the University of Kansas descending on Lawrence concern you? Does the idea of looking out onto jayhawk Boulevard and seeing little more than parade floats amidst a sea of crimson and blue make you a tad nervous? Is going to a packed football game with tons of people not your idea of a good time? Does Homecoming scare you?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, fear not. The University Daily Kansan compiled a list of alternative activities that can make for a fun, cheap Homecoming-free Saturday. Here are a few opportunities
available on Homecoming day to see and appreciate Lawrence and surrounding areas beyond the KU campus.
Chowing down at the pancake feed not appetizing?
Then try visiting the Farmer's Market at 8th and New Hampshire streets Saturday and shop for fresh groceries. From 7 a.m. until 11 a.m., local farmers and vendors will be selling fresh produce, flowers and baked goods, as well as various other products. In its 30th year, the market has been a Lawrence staple for generations of Jayhawks. Admission is free.
Worried that the parade would rain on your day?
How about stopping by 707 Vermont St. for the Friends of the Lawrence Public Library Book Sale? Perhaps you might track down a copy of that novel the bookstore is always out of, or maybe just look for a different kind of read all together. The sale is open to the public from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Want to take a time-out from the football games?
Maybe it's time to take that long sword out of storage for the 30th annual Kansas City Renaissance Festival. From giant turkey legs to jousts to characters dressed in period garb, the Renaissance Festival has just what it takes to spice up any post-medieval existence. Adult tickets
are $14.95. Visit kerenfest.com for directions to the festival's Bonner Springs location. The festival is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Had enough homecoming free frivolity for one day?
If not, be sure to check out the mellow sounds of singer/songwriter Joseph Arthur. Arthur will be performing at 9 p.m. at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. The concert will open with up and coming singer/songwriter Annie Stella. Tickets are $9.

A "How To" for Your Homecoming Weekend
BY JILLIAN GARRETT
Here it is, your "what to do, where to go, and how to yell guide" for the crimson-and-blue weekend. Live it up by participating in everything from parade perusing to tailgating for the few days you shouldn't have to worry about class and homework.
Like leaves on a tree, so be your Hawk T-shirt on your back. Friday, grab your favorite KU shirt and sport it around campus for the Crimson and blue spirit day. An incentive for sporting your school spirit will be sitting on Wesco Beach between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Here's a hint: free stuff.
For your Friday night, go easy. Saturday will be full of excitement. But if you are looking to let loose, why not get down at the Get Downtown Concert at 6 p.m.
If you've survived your Friday
night, journey up to Jayhawk Boulevard on Saturday and watch the floats pass to the Chi Omega Fountain.
"People should be sure to attend the parade," Jake Kenyon, Atchison senior, said. "It's a great representation of the support the Lawrence community has for KU." And Jake knows. He's in his second year of being on the Homecoming Committee. "It's rewarding because we finally get to see all of our planning put into action," he said.
After the parade, head over to Memorial Stadium and start off your game day in style. Tailgate with all the pros. Eat something grilled and drink something brewed while you patiently wait for the Jayhawks to take the field later that night.
Once you get into the game, you're going to need the essential cheers stored in the back of your mind. To start off, you'll do
the Crimson and Blue song, followed by the Rock Chalk Chant. Be sure to be loud and lively, especially on the cheers that you love.
"To be stereotypical, waving the wheat is a favorite," Mallory Farkas, Olathe freshman, said.
Although all the events taking place this weekend will be a blast, it won't matter what you do. It won't even matter if the football team wins. All that counts is that you show your school spirit and let everyone know you're proud to be a Jayhawk. So go ahead, paint your face crimson and give yourself a reason to be obnoxious.

Seniors look back, freshmen wonder what's ahead Days on Mount Oread marked with memories of shared experiences, hope for more to come

BY HALEY JONES
As Homecoming week arrives, the festivities and memories evoke bittersweet feelings in KU seniors. Realizing this is their last Homecoming as students at the University, some pause to reflect on their experience as college students.
LOOKING BACK
"A lot of the relationships I've formed here have really made me grow as a person," Anthony Hildebrand, Lubbock, Texas senior, said.
Though each senior has a different set of experiences, their separate memories will not soon be forgotten.
"When we beat K-State two years ago at the Homecoming football game, it was the best night of my life," Nina Mosallaei, Overland Park senior, said.
Kara Rexwinkler, Iola senior, loves the sense of unity at sporting events.
Others look back on international ventures that have led them to new heights.
"Studying abroad in Italy was a huge learning experience," Sarah Smith, Overland Park senior, said. "It was definitely life changing. It made me realize I can handle pretty much anything. With that experience behind me, I'm not worried about failing after college."
Smith, among many others, has grown to love the University and the home it has become for her.
Grant Snider/KANSAN
"As a freshman, you come in and you don't know your place exactly," she said. "But then, after you've been here a while, you feel more comfortable. It starts to feel like home."
Many seniors have more than just fond memories to think about. There is also the uncertainty of entering into the work world.
"I don't really want to leave," Mosallaei said. "I'm prepared academically and professionally, but other than that, I'd rather stay here and hang out with my friends."
The reality of their long-awaited graduation is beginning to hit
seniors.
"I think I'm realizing that I'm really going to graduate," John Grube, Basehor senior, said. "I'm able to see the diploma in the distance."
Kayla Mustain, Spring Hill senior, can't wait to get started in the career she has been preparing for.
"It will be sad leaving, but I'm also really excited to graduate and move on to a new part of my life," she said.
Mustain also looks forward to being promoted to a KU alumnus.
"I will be really, really proud that I went to KU," she said. "It will be cool to come back and go to games. I love KU. The experience has been great."
LOOKING FORWARD
With almost two months under their belts, many freshmen are excited for the road ahead.
"I just want to get out in four years and have a degree that's respected and be able to get into a good graduate school," Paul Colianni, Burr Ridge, Illi. freshman, said.
Patina Ammerman, Flower Mound, Texas freshman, has high expectations for the coming year.
"I hope to make new friends and be a good influence to those around me while having a positive attitude," she said. "As a student, I want to learn about things that I didn't know before."
Many freshmen are excited to participate in the legendary KU traditions.
"I'm excited for basketball games because it seems like that's when the school comes together and goes crazy for KU," Colianni said.
Kate Remley, Concordia freshman, is among many who look forward to visiting a foreign country. She wants to study abroad in Italy.
"I'm taking Italian right now and I've heard how beautiful it is," she said about Italy. "I'd like to see it for myself."
"I want to go skydiving for the thrill of it," Colianni said. "I wanted to do it after I graduated high school but never got to, so I want to do it now."
Others want to try their hand at something exhilarating.
Ammerman will be satisfied
with a less electrifying experience.
"Sledding down the hill, that sounds like fun," she said.
Amelia Bray, Shawnee Mission freshman, hopes to get involved in KU athletics.
"I want to try the rowing team," she said. "I've been on a paddleboat. That's as close to the water as I get. So I think it'd be fun to do something completely out there."
Although there are the countless opportunities for freshmen to succeed, there are equally as many distractions. Colianni hopes to find a happy medium in which his academics and social life can coexist.
"I'm worried about getting too caught up in having fun and partying and not getting enough
work done," he said.
Some freshmen also look forward to growing and maturing as individuals and students.
"I would like to become a more mature and rational person while I'm here at KU." Bray said. "I'd like to develop my study skills so that I'm well prepared for medical school and the life ahead that is spanning out before me."
With all of that surrounding freshmen in their first year of college, what are they most afraid of?
"Honestly? Failing out of college," Remley said.

Traditions, experience passed on through generations
BY CAITLIN THORNBRUGH
The University of Kansas is a part of many families who are passing down the tradition from one Jayhawk generation to the next.
The traditions started 140 years ago, and the first graduates left the University in 1873. While many things have changed, families are still coming together as lavhaws.
Leawood freshman Allison Craddick is a product of the Jayhawk tradition. Coming from two parents with KU diplomas, she was a Jayhawk long before her first day of class.
"I first felt like a Jayhawk when I was 8," she said. "My parents brought me to the basketball and football games. I loved seeing the band, the dance team and the excitement the Jayhawks had."
"I had always wanted to go to KU," Maria said. "My first visit, I went to a game, and I just loved the spirit of the Jayhawks, the pom-pom girls, the flare and the University's name, and it has always been in the top 30 schools. It was just fabulous."
Maria Craddick, her mother, graduated in 1977 with a degree in Spanish, and Mike Craddick, her father, studied graphic design and photography. He graduated in 1978.
Allisons three aunts, Irene
Laskowski, Cecila Sheppard and Anna McNamara, all attended the University as well. The Craddick family has Jayhawks around their house, wears Jayhawk T-shirts on game days and all know the Rock Chalk Chant. Along with these traditions, one of Allison's favorites comes from her mom being on the dance team while she was enrolled at the University.
"While we watch the games at home, whenever the fight song plays we whip out my mom's big blue pom-poms and do the dance," Allison said.
"My family didn't pressure me at all, but I liked knowing I'd be coming to a place where my family had walked through the same doors, and walked on the same sidewalks," she said. "I was following in their footsteps."
Even with this history in their household, Allison still applied to other schools but ultimately decided the University was for her.
"My grandpa taught me the Rock Chalk Jayhawk Chant when I was little to piss off my uncle because he went to K-State," Megan Drew, Overland Park freshman, said.
During Homecoming week, many students look back on their first Jayhawk memories.
Drew not only has a mom and a dad who have graduated from the University, but a great-
grandfather who is also a KU alum, and a grandmother who was part of the KU faculty.
"My mom went to KU, and passed on the Jayhawk spirit to me," she said. "We always watched the basketball games before I was deciding what college I was going to. We would all sit glued to the TV"
Rachel Peizuch, Lenexa freshman,remembers being young and watching basketball games with her family.
Kansan correspondent Caitlin Thornbruch can be contacted at editor@kansan.com.
From one generation to the next, the University environment can be found at any age and will always stay in the family.

Microbursts, Wescoe Beach and fountains oh my!
Some things you'll only find at KU
BY LAURA VEST
We all realize it — the University of Kansas is a leading school to attend. But why is it so unrivaled? Students shared their thoughts on what exemplifies the University — the 'only at KU' moments.
On Facebook.com, Jess Levy, Dallas junior, established a group called "You Know You Go To KU If..." with some remarkably appropriate mentions:
1. Nothing keeps you from going out — not even rain, snow, sleet or microbursts.
2. There are crazy religious men flairing around in front of Wescoe beach when you want to be undisturbed.
3. You do a dance when you finally reach the top of the seemingly never-ending stairs.
Paul Amyot, Katonah, N.Y. senior, encountered his 'only at KU' moment when he leaped into the Chi Omega fountain after a particularly festive evening. Amyot said the fountain was exclusive to the University.
"It's tradition here — no other schools that I know of have a fountain everyone jumps in, especially after a night on Ohio Street," he said.
In light of the approaching Homecoming events, Kyle Geiken, Burnsville, Minn. senior, said his best KU moments were tearing down the goalposts in three straight home games, running down Massachusetts Street with the K-State goalposts and jumping in Potter Lake in 40-degree weather.
Geiken's said his honorable mentions were good experiences at The Bull, The Hawk and The Wheel.
"Everyone knows what they are," he said.

FIRST HOMECOMING GAME SHOWS JAYHAWKS WHAT COLLEGE IS ALL ABOUT
At the age of 7, during the Homecoming weekend of 1995, I stood on an unfamiliar ledge on my tiptoes and had to reach up high to hold onto the big bronze foot of the Jayhawk in front of Strong Hall. It was the only way I could see Jayhawk Boulevard over the heads of the crowd lining the streets on campus.

It probably wasn't my first time at KU, but it was my first distinct memory. That Homecoming weekend with my family taught me a lesson that isn't easily acknowledged. I learned what this college place is, beyond being a piece of my relative's stories and past. I realized what this place was as a whole, instead of being satisfied with the exterior.
It seemed amazing to me that time hadn't affected the traditions, the culture and the pride of the students. This place hasn't been bulldozed and moved aside to make way for new arrivals. It was a place where my grandpa,
Now, when I talk about being little bitty a lot of people squint, and warmly ask whether I was ever a small person. Being 6-feet-5, and with the help of the freshman 15, gaining fast on 250 pounds; I am far from little bitty. Big or little, and spread out by years, I am the same person who watched the Homecoming parade hovering through the smooth hills of this place that I was just beginning to understand.

my aunts, my uncles and my dad, a generation apart could relive the same place, similar memories and the same coursing enigma that flowed through this campus, though separated by years. It is a place that has experienced the same yearly waves of students, the same tides of change, the same effects of time, without becoming something buried under forgotten stories and ignored inheritance.
I marvel at the way graduates of my family greet campus and its culture like an old friend; the kind with whom you can strike up a conversation after years of separation. I latched onto the mystery behind their familiarity with each detail of campus, the way they walked right past the picturesque buildings like they were on one more trip to class, their naturalness within the brilliant late afternoon shadowing of campus, their reverence toward Allen Fieldhouse. The leaves had started to turn and the smell of fall was a little different on campus than it was at home in Wichita, but each separate detail didn't dominate the others, it was part of a mix, and it was part of a vivid history to each aunt and
uncle, and to my grandpa and dad.
As my family roamed through the spectacle of campus and through the perfectly groomed lawns, as I saw alumni slide a sideways glance and a smirk toward the old bars, as I tagged along through a maze of sidewalks, shortcuts and alleys, I realized what all the Jayhawks adorning my living room meant, what all the college days talk I had heard was referring to. I think that was my first sense of connection with this place, odd and splendorous as it seemed. I became aware that as a third generation Jayhawk I had inherited an astonishment surrounding this separate world. I realized that this wasn't just a place where these people came to work, graduate, move on and forget, this was a place that stayed forever in the framework of their existence.
And then it was game time. The crowds flowed downhill into a frenzy of pep and color, the spirit started to explode out of the shell of shy daily life and an elaborate system of claps, chants fight songs and the roar of the student section emerged. My dad painted half of his face blue and once again showed his radiance for KU, as he had throughout his college life. I was a young, small person in the midst of an older, larger and wilder crowd but it all felt welcoming and intriguing.
After the game we, along with the rest of the crowd, emptied the stadium. My family and 1
headed toward the base of the Campanile, where a magnificent bell tower ascended into the sky. My mom pointed at the Campanile and said, "That's were they walk through when they graduate, would you like to do that someday?"
"Yeah," I answered.
Going to my first Homecoming game 11 years later I am now a part of the flow of time around this place, part of each instant that one more freshman learns the Rock Chalk Chant or the Crimson and Blue song, part of each tide of students flowing to class and to games, part of another year, part of another graduating class, part of another generation.
As I pass that same bronze bird every day, I can feel that coursing enigma of old KU. The same feeling I had at a time when I had to reach up to grab the Jayhawks foot, the same that I will feel a generation from now on a visit back, the same that my family remarks on visits. On those walks to class each day, I can ignore the routine feeling of obligation and materialize that childhood astonishment. It must be that unchanging building with pieces of KU inside of me that I will never lose, the same structure that's in all of us Jayhawks.

"KU has so many awesome people, which makes everything from class to going out enjoyable,"
Ryan McGeeney/KAMSAN
Billy Griffith, Wichita senior
Billy Griffith, Wichita senior, transferred to the University of Kansas from Trinity University in San Antonio to be closer to home and family. Majoring in political science, Griffith has applied to graduate and law programs at the University and other schools as well.
HAIL TO NEW KU?
BY LINDSAY WAPLES
A new wave of students has just arrived from around the country to start a new academic year at the University of Kansas. The majority of these students have just graduated from high school and are about to experience the radically-different-than-home college lifestyle.
Freshmen are like newborns; they are absorbing their first college experiences like they have never lived before. They move into their dorms and Greek houses, they go to their first football game, they nervously hand over their fake IDs to bouncers at the Hawk, hoping they'll get a chance to discover if the "Boom Boom room" is as cool as its name. Every Friday these newcomers go to their classes in Budig Hall ready to make plans for the weekend.
Less conspicuous in a classroom, however, is that student timidly sitting in the back row of a classroom who does not look so bright eyed and eager. This student is a stranger in a room of friends who have been in the same classes together for the last three years. No, this student
didn't fail out of the School of Business; this student is a transfer student. Transfers students are forgotten at the University. At a sporting event they are the ones looking around confused and panicked as the waving crimson and blue mass loudly chants the fight song and sings the alma mater. Transfers do not swim in the Chi Omega fountain, and they don't understand why their friends cringed when they walked underneath the Campanile on the way to class.
Transfer students may miss out on being initiated to the University traditions, but that doesn't mean that they won't adopt them with time. It may seem difficult for a non-transfer student to comprehend, but it takes time for transfers to feel comfortable with the new traditions and let go of their previous ones. It is like starting a new relationship or coming to the party when it's halfway finished. Transfer students have a different perspective of the University than non transfers because they have other college experience to compare. So does the University or the old universities prevail in the hearts of the transfer students? The answers may be surprising.
Billy Griffith transferred to the University from Trinity University in San Antonio in 2004 midway through his sophomore year. The Wichita native originally decided to attend Trinity because of its first-rate academics and his involvement in athletics. Despite these factors, Griffith decided that Texas just was not the place for him.
"I transferred to KU because I didn't like Texas," he said. "I'd always been a fan of KU and wanted to go here."
The transition to a new school was more or less smooth for Griffith, though at first he had to adjust to attending a public university that was much larger than his small private university. He said one of the drawbacks to Trinity was its small size, but attending a larger university presented its problems for Griffith as well.
"The bureaucracy of KU has a tendency to make students just feel like a number and a source of income for the University," he said.
He also felt that as a transfer student he was at a slight disadvantage to meet people. The greek tradition at the University is more popular than at his former university, and Griffith felt he would have made friends quicker if he was greek. These adjustments did not hold him back for long, however.
Lindsay McCurley has also
come to love the social scene at the University. McCurley, Fort Scott junior, transferred from DePaul University in Chicago. Though she said that she misses all of the exciting activities that the city had to offer, DePaul did not have the same college feel as the University.
It has been easy for McCurley to adjust to being a Jayhawk. She said in a showdown between the University and DePaul, she would definitely be wearing crimson and blue, though she wouldn't be upset if the Jayhawks lost.
"The sports are so much better here, and the activities that center on them, like tailgating and waving the wheat," she said. "The next day in class at DePaul you talked about the White Sox or the Cubs, not if DePaul won or lost."
McCurley has no regrets about transferring and can not say enough good things about her new college.
"KU definitely has better traditions," she said. "It has everything from basketball traditions to bar ones. DePaul was a private college that was geared towards individuality and not unity of its students though traditions."
Griffith agrees that the traditions at the University are hard to beat.
When asked if he could sing the fight song or alma mater, he chuckled and said, "I can tell you KU really is far above the golden valley, glorious to view."
Griffith loves everything about
the University from the sports to the city of Lawrence. McCurley cannot sing the fight song, but neither student thinks that it really matters.
"KU has so many awesome people, which makes everything from class to going out enjoyable," he said.
Though transferring to a new college can be difficult, the students who have transferred have decided that it was worth starting their college lives over. Transfer students face many obstacles that some incoming freshmen do not have to deal with.
on their transcripts that they have to find something to do with. In most cases, transfer students lose credit for classes that they studied and slaved away for when they transfer to the University because the requirements and academic standards are different. Despite all of the changes, students say they are pleased with their decisions.
Though initially they did not want to go to the University, Griffith and McCurley are glad that they did.
Freshmen start on an even playing field because they are all close to the same age and are experiencing the University for the first time together. Freshmen also arrive at the University with a fresh academic slate. Transfers already have semesters of credit
McCurley said, with a grin, "KU makes it hard to graduate in four years. KU just might make me a seventh year senior."

Cornelia Becker presses her snooze twice before getting out of bed. She grabs a quick breakfast, her backpack and Jayhawks sweat-shirt before heading off to her first class.
Cornelia may sound like your typical Kansas student, but she has spent the last 20 years of her life in Mauchenheim, Germany.
Cornelia, a graduate student in biology and English, is just one of many international students who call the University of Kansas home.
In the spirit of Homecoming, it only seems right to look at what home means to Jayhawks from all around the world. Here at the University, Homecoming offers a time of reuniting and reminiscing for Kansas alumni. It also gives current students time to reflect on the transition to their new home in Lawrence. Mentioning home may bring to mind free laundry service being just a short drive away, but for more than 1,500 international students the picture is much different.
Mutsa Kajese, a senior from Harare, Zimbabwe, came from a community-based culture. He has found that the University is one of the few places that has that same feel. Kajese was studying at Baker University, but said he longed for a bigger school with greater opportunities. As a pre-med student, Kajese said he was also enticed by the University's dynamic medical program.
The University's appeal attracts students from all over the globe. The rolling hills of campus, booming culture of downtown and nonstop student activities are enough to fit anyone's fancy. As attractive as the campus may be, adjusting to college culture can be difficult. Add a brand new country to the mix and it can be overwhelming.
acclimate to the Lawrence lifestyle, the Office of International Student and Scholar Services offers a range of services for International Students, including an international student orientation program offered each semester.
To help international students
Viviana Yaluk, ISSS Cultural Program coordinator, helps run a Lawrence Friendship Family program, matching students with local
families to build cultural understanding and adjustment through friendships. Through ISSS, students also get a chance to speak with local schools and University classes about their respective country. Through programs like the ISSS, the University hopes to be the bridge between cultures, allowing international students to feel more at home in Lawrence.
There is no better time to feel right at home and get a feel for Kansas spirit than Homecoming week. As thousands of people unite for the football game, Todor Gogov, a junior from Bulgaria, will think of a different kind of futbol. While he loves the friendly people of Lawrence, he longs for gathering with friends to watch soccer in Bulgaria. Adjusting to American
culture has its challenges, but the welcoming atmosphere of Kansas Homecoming eases the transition.
Homecoming has different meaning for different people. Some use it as a time to reconnect with friends, others to work frantically all night on a float, and still others use it as an excuse to pass out before noon. No matter what your plans are, take some time
to reflect on what KU means to you. Homecoming for alumni has become an international event, uniting Jayhawks from around the globe.

Superstition... Or Tradition?
BY ALISON CUMBOW
At the University of Kansas, there is an abundance of wacky traditions and superstitions, including some practices that have been going on since the school opened its doors.
For years, students have shuddered at the mere thought of walking through the Campanile before graduation. Rumor has it that one walks through the Campanile, towards the stadium, the lazy victim who didn't just walk around, will not graduate in four years. Whether the tale has any merit is unknown, however, the stern warning given to new Jayhawks still spreads like wildfire.
In 1886, the famous Rock Chalk Chant was introduced by EHS Bailey for his science club students. Former President Theodore Roosevelt thought so highly of the chant that it was recited to the king of Belgium during the 1920 Olympic Games.
There is certainly no lack of haunting superstitions on campus.
either. Jane VanderVelde, professor of English, recounted, "From what I hear, Wescoe is haunted. Rumor is, Robinson's original pool was built there, but the foundation was constructed wrong. That's why the floor is sunken in."
The ghost of a young girl is said to roam Wesco Hall. Some students say they get a weird feeling being in the building at certain times of the day, particularly at night.
Whether legend or fact, the University sure is an interesting place to be, as long as you don't hit Wescoe in the dark.
If ghosts are believable or not, it depends on the person. However, an abandoned swimming pool is always a haunting image.

Banking on the ball game
Commerce skyrockets during Homecoming week
BY SPENCER HEWITT
The king of fall sports at the University of Kansas has a colossal province in his hands. Scattered far and wide across Lawrence, from downtown shops, to restaurants, hotels and retailers, under sealed envelopes and impressive paychecks, the money funneling through Memorial Stadium in one night is monumental.
The big business of Kansas football is now at its most extraordinary, and it's about to get bigger come Homecoming. Every detail of the game — tickets, skyboxes, tailgating tents, alcohol, merchandise, even the private rental of Big Jay and Baby Jay — come with a hefty toll that feeds the king under the lights. Lawrence knows it's good at sharing, as long as there is a win.
Downtown has been feeling the belt notches loosen as businesses have started stocking up for the Homecoming rush. Enough goods to satisfy consumers have been building up three or four weeks before game day.

game. We are a business that is
primarily supported by students,
but the rush of parents and
alums is a big supplement."
The fan-acquired capital is expected to stack up among displays of Jayhawk shirts, golf balls, flags and shot glasses at Jayhawk
Spirit, 935 Massachusetts St., as well.
"We have been open since '81, and Homecoming is always one of the high points of the best season for us," manager William Wilkerson said. "It's right in the middle of football season and going into basketball season. We move merchandise outside and it sells."
Wilkerson attributes a lot of the sales increase to the change in demographic.
"We sell a lot of items that interest parents, grandparents and alums more than students, so Homecoming is a good way to get those buvers here." he said.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the Kansas University Alumni Association will also be laying their funds on the field at the first "Get Downtown" Homecoming event, a party on Eighth Street between Massachusetts and New Hampshire. On Friday, the event is expected to cost over $20,000.
The student operated Home coming events office is cashing in its time and funding as well, but will bring events to campus.
"The pep rally will be on campus this year, and there will be events all over campus for entertainment and student involvement," Bill Walberg, special events co-chair, said. "Homecoming committee isn't really in charge of the larger funding around campus, we just fund our events with T-shirt sales each year. I can't imagine what kind of money goes through this place on a big game weekend like that."
One factor of banking on the ball game stands out in being the most influential to business owners, party throwers, goers and athletics representatives alike; the team's record and the outcome of the game.
"Of course the increase in our sales is connected to the amount of fans that come to the game, and that is determined by how well the team has done that season and how well they do at the game." Owens said.
Wilkerson said, "If football is having a good or bad season, it always makes a noticeable difference in our sales. So it is good news to us that they have been doing so well. I mean, the only loss was one they gave away on the road."
his team. The more success on the field makes a better interest, the better interest makes bigger crowds, and the bigger the crowd the bigger number in the stadium. We made a goal this year to fill every seat in the stadium, every game, and I think it can be done at Homecoming."
On a bigger bankroll than bar tabs and T-shirt tags, Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said, "I think that the increase in attendance and fan interest is due to the great job being done by coach Mangino, his staff and
OPEN

Marchiony also recognizes the value of fans as the Athletics Department's budget has risen sharply over the last three years.
"We have seen a large growth over the last three years, going from yearly operating expenses at $25,696,482 to over $40,000,000," he said. "We aren't in a race to spend but that is the kind of revenue needed to operate a winning team, and that's what we want."
Customers enter the Jack's Nitch on Eighth Street and Massachusetts. Downtown businesses have been stocking on up on Jayhawk merchandise in anticipation of a higher volume of customers buying products before Homecoming game day.
When it's all broken down,
the bottom line is simple. As the dough rolls in on game day, pockets will empty, cash registers will fill, beer and bills will flow freely, but most importantly, touchdowns will be made. After banking on all the collectible statuettes, the sweatshirts, upgraded tickets, parking spots, events and
fuss, Homecoming riches are still under the rule of the king of fall sports. Cash in, or cash out.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
note.
This is my sister's first year at KU. It is my cousin Tom's second and my cousin Stepfanie and I are juniors. Four of my first cousins are at K-State this year and I have another 14 first cousins under the age of 18 back home in Kansas City. In all, there are 22 of us first cousins and countless second, third, fourth and cousins various-times-removed. We live within a 2-hour drive of each other.
My family is huge, and I am used to living near everyone, so Erika Bentson's story on page 15 was a shock for me. She's an only child and an only grandchild. She has no first cousins.
I can't imagine not running into my cousins in the Union, at football games or while walking to class. But with such a large family living in such a small area, there's no such thing as secrets. We routinely meet each other's friends and classmates... and when there's a pause in the conversation, we talk about each other.
Sometimes I think I'd trade my cousins for the chance to have my life stay private. Then again, for me, there's nothing like an all-out competitive egg hunt on Easter Sunday.

SAVING THE LAST DANCE FOR HIMSELF
Nobodyparties'till the bitter end like Zach Sias, St. Louis senior. Last year, Sias decided that the party should continue even after the bars closed. He turned his stereo up to recreate the party atmosphere in his own apartment. The drinks were still flowing and a drunken food binge was about to be in full swing when Sias heard a knock on the door. The intoxicated party
animal answered the door in nothing but his skivvies, and his party quickly wrapped up. A Lawrence police officer surprised him as he ripped open the door. Apparently Sias's dance hits were not a favorite of his neighbors. Sias was given a noise violation for partying — by himself.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, MY EX-GIRLFRIEND AND I GOT A DOG TOGETHER. NOW THAT WE HAVE ENDED THE RELATIONSHIP, SHE THINKS SHE SHOULD GET SPANKY. WHILE I THINK WE SHOULD SHARE CUSTODY. HOW DO WE RESOLVE THIS AND DO THE BEST THING FOR ALL THREE OF US? KYLE SENIOR
Chris: First off, your dog's name is Spanky? Whoever's idea that was should automatically forfeit all claims to him on principle. Sigh... all right, here he's how you can get the dog and not have to share with the two-timing trollop you used to call your girlfriend. On a day that you have "custody" of Spanky, hide him at your place. When the ex comes to pick him up, tell her that Spanky found some of the make-up that she always left lying around, ate it and died. Then tell her you're sleeping with her best friend... you are sleepying with her best friend, right? If not, start. Upon hearing of Spanky's death and her best friend's betrayal, your ex-girlfriend will feel so horrible that she'll never want
to see you again, leaving you alone with Spanky, her slutty best friend and knowledge that you're responsible for emotionally scarring your ex so severely that she's incapable of ever loving again. Right on!
Niloofar: With the number of deadbeat dads who don't want custody of their children, do you seriously expect me to believe you genuinely want to "share custody" of Spanky? What I'm hearing in your question is a subconscious desire to share a bed with your girlfriend again. In that case, Spanky is going to be your greatest asset. Social psychologists have studied the effect of proximity on love time and time again. What they've found is that
KYLE, SENIOR
the closer we are to someone physically, the greater the chances of developing and keeping a relationship with that person. You need to keep seeing your girlfriend and having positive interactions with her if there's any chance of rekindling the flame. But if you give her Spanky and cut off contact, you might never see her, or insist that the dog belongs to both of you, and that you are very attached to him. If she decides you can just go ahead and keep him, then she probably never wanted Spanky anyway — she's just a bitch who wanted to milk you for all you're worth and take everything you've got, in which case you should see Chris's response and turn the tables on this trollop.
I RECENTLY STARTED DATING A GUY WHO SPENDS A LOT OF TIME AT THE GYM AND I LOVE HIS HOT BODY. BUT HIS "EQUIPMENT" SEEMS REALLY SMALL AND I THINK HE MIGHT BE ON STEROIDS. SHOULD I ASK HIM ABOUT IT, AND IF HE IS, SHOULD I TRY TO GET HUM TO QUIT? — UNDSAY, SOPHOMORE
Chris: Common side effects of steroid use are decreased sperm counts and infertility, so it's probably going to be difficult for your buffed-up boy-toy to procreate, which is great news. If your boyfriend is willing to use steroids so his muscles look bigger when he flexes in the mirror, he's pretty stupid. And you're dating him, so I think it's safe to say that you're pretty stupid too. Combine you two, and you'll get a dangerously stupid baby. So make sure your jocko keeps hitting the juice —
Niloofar: Like Kyle above, I think you're denying your true feelings. You say you love your boyfriend's hot body but are concerned because his "equipment" isn't proportional. Then you add the "could he be on steroids?" qualifier. I don't think you're worried about Mr. Universe popping pills, I think you're disappointed by his member. This being the case, you need to ask yourself
the fate of the world depends on it. Literally.
why you're so bothered by his not-so-long Johnson. We're socialized to believe that bigger is better, but good things come in small packages. If he knows how to use it, then for heaven's sake, enjoy it. However, if I misread your subconscious and you truly are concerned about possible drug use, look to see if he's developing man-boobs or if his balls are deflating. If so, try to get him some professional help. Don't worry, his balls will be back to bouncy within a few of weeks of discontinuation.

MOISTURIZE DURING THE WINTER MONTHS
health tip
As the seasons change, the colder climate starts to dry out your skin. To prevent crusty knuckles and parched cheeks, grab a moisturizer that repairs the moisture barrier on your skin. The barrier is a layer that maintains a healthy balance of oil and water on your skin.

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/KIMBERLY WESTPHALL
My brother and his girlfriend fell madly in love two years ago. They were inseparable, spending every waking — and sleeping — moment together Six months ago they moved into a swanky, white wall-to-wall, two-bedroom in the St. Louis suburbs with the works: balcony, pool, washer and dryer. They even bought a puppy to train and raise together.
They are now on the verge of an ugly break up, divorce-style. They are arguing about who takes what furniture, who gets which days with the kids (or in this case, the puppy), and who has to tell the landlord they are calling it quits and breaking their lease.
Today, about 80 percent of premarital
couples live together and the numbers are skyrocketing, says Jeffery King, licensed marriage and family therapist at Shane M. Jones and Associates, P.A., 2300 S.W. 29th St., in Topeka. Cohabitation is more acceptable now than it used to be, but that doesn't necessarily mean that turning your lover into your roomate is a good idea.
Sometimes couple; move in together to prepare themselves for a more stable marriage without jumping directly into a marriage. But, pre-marital move-ins could lead to complications and splitting up.
Couples tend to rush into living together before really exploring the things that make them who they are like what they want in life, King says. So,
they sign on the dotted line in hopes of postponing marriage but maintaining a good pre-marital relationship. This binds them into a legal commitment as well and although not as legally messy as marriage, definitely emotionally traumatic.
Although there are risks when shacking up with your partner, it is possible for things to work out. Amy Perrin, 2004 graduate, lived with her now-husband
Morgan Terry, Holcomb Junior, and her boyfriend dated for years and moved in together in June 2005. They broke up while living together and decided that cohabitation was the reason. "At the time, we thought we were at that point in our relationship," Terry says. "It just wasn't the right time."
scott for two years before getting married and wouldn't have it any other way."There are so many things to learn about each other that you can only really see and feel if you experience living together," Perrin says.
Others decide that moving in with your mate is bad news from the start. Andy O'Hare, 2006 graduate, says he wouldn't do it because personal space is too important. "It would annoy me, and they would get in my way." O'Hare says.
Whether cohabitation is a good idea or not, thinking about the decision beforehand is. So weigh the pros and cons of living with your lover before you sign a lease.
Here are Jeffrey King's top five tips for living together and achieving a strong bond before and after marriage:
1. Really explore yourself and your prospective expectations going into it. What does living together mean to you individually?
2. Understand how each partner naturally will. Move away from the idealized image of who you want him or her to be.
3. Explore things like roles; money, homework, values, etc.
4. Find out how your partner deals with self and other issues on an everyday basis. For example, how does he or she handle conflict, emotions, holidays, etc.?
5. Plan out the future together. Make sure you have an understanding about what you each want and needs.
2 Understand how much partner naturally loses. Move away from the idealized image of who you want him or her to be.
Plan out the future together. Make sure you have an understanding about what you each want and need.
Katie Waugh, Topeka sophomore, and Cade Smith, Sioux Falls, S.D. sophomore, fight over a lamp during a moving-out break up.
REASONS TO COHABITATE
Social acceptability. A lot less stigma is attached to cohabitation these days, and it presents a much more relaxed climate.
A commitment step.Couples think that living together will create a more stable marriage in the future.
To postpone the age of marriage. This provides room for starting a career before launching into what they perceive to be the expense of marriage and family.
Peak for sexual energy. They can experience a sexual relationship freely without the complication of marriage.
Dolla bills y'ail. People often assume it is cheaper. Combining their dough to pay the bills is often a convenient reason.
Jeffrey King,LMFT
REASONS TO RECONSIDER
intimate indeed. Couples open themselves up to a level of intimacy that they are not ready to commit to outside of marriage. What do you do when it falls apart?
A lease doesn't equal a ring. There is a myth that living together ensures a stable future and marriage. This is a myth, as nothing is certain and statistics do not prove this to be true.
The real you. After moving in together, some people are still afraid of being completely honest about who they are. They are still acting as the person they think their partner wants them to be.
Close quarters. Live-in lovers set themselves up for unneeded difficulties such as issues of personal space and "me" time.
Too soon. They might end up feeling trapped. Living together could mean jumping into a longer and more committed relationship than some expect.

The greatest part about ActionReaction is that what we've accomplished doesn't have any resemblance to what I set out to accomplish. And I mean that in a good way. When we started, it was more of a community project. It was mostly about: Let's just write some music. Not just some heavy music or not just any specific type. Let's see what the few of us sound like when we sound like what we naturally do. Let's make music and play from the heart. So many songs are in different formats, and with so much experimenting, it keeps all of us on our toes. It sounds like the genre of us.
Gleason: No. I guess that's the easiest way to answer it. Music won't let me be done. I just do it. It wasn't like I'm not going to do it anymore. I wanted to keep doing it. I got to keep doing it. There was never a period when I thought I wouldn't. There was just a long period of how I might want to make music.

Q: WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE DIFFERENT FROM FURTHER SEEMS FOREVER?
Gleason: Ever since we got the mix back,
"At The Moon! That's been my jam. That's probably my favorite. 'Contagious' is second."
Gleason: It was going to be different, because the orly thing I wrote in Further Seems Forever was "Pride War" with Derick [Cordoba, guitarist] and "Aurora Borealis." I am proud of How To Start A Fire [Further Seems Forever album featuring Jason on vocals], but it was time to step out and stretch out my legs and do what I wanted to hear.
aside for a rehearsal. This guy does this part, and then we'll get together a week before we record our album and hash everything out. ActionReaction is more like: let's just make music all day, 24 hours a day. Further Seems Forever toured 10 months out of the year. One year we played 307 shows. It was pretty awesome. Hopefully ActionReaction can tour as much. As far as the music, ActionReaction is more of a communal type thing, creating together, rather than creating separately.

PUTTING OFF UNTIL by Jacky Carter The art of procrastination TOMORROW
Julie Carey spends three hours a day avoiding anything that sounds like work. Cleaning. Job hunting. Doing homework. Carey, a Springfield, Mo., senior, says she thinks she has plenty of time to get everything done. Instead of completing her statistics assignment, she opts for sewing, reading or other activities she considers more enjoyable. "Usually even when I'm procrastinating, I'm still doing something productive," Carey says. "It's usually the lesser of two or more evils." But by the end of the night, Carey still has a long list of things to do. "I realize that if I want to get to bed at a decent time, I'd better get crackin."
College students are notorious for procrastinating, whether it's neglecting a paper to take a nap or blowing off
homework to clean the kitchen. But is it really that bad to put off a short answer response for English to catch up with your high school best friend? And in the long run, isn't it more valuable if you get a good night's sleep before a test than cram all that studying into an all-nighter?
Why it happens
Procrastination is a common habit. When Rita Emmett, author of The Procrastinator's Handbook, speaks to audiences, she finds that in large crowds of 200 people or more, fewer than nine people say they don't procrastinate. Emmet thinks statistics aren't available on procrastination because people don't necessarily think of themselves as procrastinators. Instead, people
A lack of organization also contributes to the problem, Domebeck says. "People also procrastinate because they aren't organized enough to know what they are responsible for in their lives," he says.
The reasons for avoiding tasks vary, but for the most part, procrastination is driven by anxiety or worry, says Mark Domebeck, psychologist with centersite.net, a Web site about behavioral health. The amount of work or lack of understanding about a problem or project leads people to think they can't handle the task.
who put something off say they just didn't have time for it.
Another reason for avoiding work is a lack of prioritization. "Partying is fun and all, but when a paper is due, you can party later. The consequence of not
partying is less negative than the consequence of not doing the paper,"Dombeck says.
How it happens
While text messaging, instant messaging and Web sites like MySpace and facebook.com help students keep in touch with friends, they also suck away time and energy from more productive activities. The single greatest factor preventing students from getting things done is instant messaging, says Jeff Davidson, author of 60-Second Procrastinator. "E-mail can take a few minutes to arrive in your inbox. IMs pop up instantaneously, like creepy ghosts in a fun house," he says.
Misconceptions
You may feel like your lack of
productivity is out of your control. But these experts agree that it's not in your genes. The most common misunderstanding is that procrastinators can't help it, says Rick Brenner, a teamwork and conflict consultant for ChacoCanyon.com in Boston. "Dealing with your problems is a choice," he says."The choice is to be somewhat unhappy now in exchange for being very happy later. It's pretty obvious to me which one works better. I like happy endings."
Good,bad or ugly
While procrastination, for the most part, is harmful, there are some exceptions. Procrastination can be good, says Rita Emmett. "Positive procrastination" is OK if something is broken or if dealing with the situation will cause
more harm than good, Emmett says. Her family has a rule that if an appliance breaks, they leave it alone for a day or two and usually it fixes itself.
Sometimes it's helpful to purposefully postpone things. Brenner refers to this as delay and deferment strategies. If you fill your car with gas and then go to a friend's house, your gas tank is no longer full. But do you need to refill it on your way home? Probably not. Brenner says you strategically delay refilling your car until you actually need the gas.
introduction logic
Another take is that it's not helpful to classify behavior as good or bad, says Margaret Paul, co-founder of the Inner Bonding healing process, a six-step program that addresses people's false fears and beliefs. A more-productive way of looking at it is whether behavior serves a person well or not. Procrastination is never in a person's best interest, Paul says.

Move past procrastination
Making lists can help students organize their lives. Jessica Lally, Olathe senior, stays on task by putting everything in her planner. She also prioritizes tasks to avoid stressing out. If she doesn't have time to clean her house for a couple days, she'll make sure to finish her homework so that she'll have time.
Paul says that for students to overcome procrastination, they need to realize that it's OK to fail. Procrastination often results from students fearing they can't do something, if they're afraid of failure, they'll delay starting something.
The next time you find yourself looking at your roommate's cousin's facebook. com profile or justifying watching an infomercial instead of writing a paper, reevaluate your homework habits. Planning your day or making lists are easy ways to organize your life. And by figuring out what you have to do and getting started, you'll end up with more time to do the things you enjoy.

Rock&Ro Roller derby is back with a new purpose and a new attitude. by Lisa Anderson
They're moms, daughters and wives. They're baristas, librarians and teachers. They're roller girls.
By day they are regular women with jobs, kids and families, but by night they are kicking ass and taking names. The women, ages 18 to 35, punch and get punched, push and get pushed, and they skate like it's their job.
From the original roller derby leagues of the 1930s to the revivals of the 1970s, the sport's past has been less about athleticism and more about making money. Typically owned by corporations or promoters, roller derby was just another staged show to please audiences. Now, there are more than 130, all-female, flat-track roller derby leagues in the United States, up from zero known leagues six years ago.
The recent "roller derby revival" began in 2000 in Austin. The leagues are now skater-owned and operated and are based on ideas of empowering women, sportsmanship and having fun. Although the try-out is a grueling
physical test and injuries are more common than one would hope, roller-girls are dedicated to their sport. So are the fans. Watching a match is almost as intense and exciting as participating.
Jessica Simmons, Carthage, Mo., Junior became interested in roller derby after watching Roller Girls, a reality television show that aired on A&E last year. She later found out that Kansas City, Mo., has a league. She attended three events this season. Simmons and her friends typically sit in the front row on the floor, five feet away from the track, which is as close to the action as they can get. "There's just something empowering about a group of women getting together and competing." Simmons says. "To me, it's this dangerous, exciting world that's fun to watch and be a part of."
The atmosphere
Parents, children, frat boys, punk kids and everyone in between pack into Hale Arena in Kansas City, Mo. at 7 p.m.on a hot
Saturday night. They are all there for one thing: roller derby.
The Kansas City Roller Warriors Championship bout and grudge match is about to begin. The oblong flat-track is brightly lit. Clad in shades of red, blue, black and yellow, roller-girls take the track. The women are dressed in appropriate roller-garb — pads, mouth guards, helmets, skates and often flashy skirts and fishnets. They skate practice laps while audience members rush to the bleachers with popcorn and beer spilling over onto their hands. Two drag-queen costumed figures dance amid the swirling lights on the other side and a Pat Benetar song blares forcefully through the speakers. Arinouncers, D'nouncer Duane and Absolute Hero welcome guests and introduce the night. Time to rock 'n roller derby.

She weaves between players ducking under their arms and slipping past them to get ahead of the pack while her teammates forcefully push opposing team members out of the track boundaries. One of them takes a hard jab in her
hips. The game pauses.
Roller Derby is a contact sport and currently mainta in lesagues in almost every state in the U.S. Every league has a few teams that have been governed under the Women's Flat Track Derby
Each bout is divided into three 20-minute periods. Each period is further divided into jams. A jam lasts two minutes and is the process of scoring points. A whistle is blown to begin each jam. An unlimited number of jams are allowed within each

like the originals. "What is so exciting about the latest version of roller derby is that no one is trying to make money off it," one of Kansas City's Roller Warriors and 2004 graduate, Annie Mergenmeier says. "Today's version came along because a bunch of women wanted to play the sport. That's cool," she says.

The current revival began
The girls
six years ago in Austin, Texas, with teams forming across the country ever since. The Kansas City Roller Warriors, started when two librarians, Brooke Leavitt and Mandy Durham, tied on their skates and began competing in 2004, but the league only had enough people for two teams. Now, the league has about 45 current members and
is split into four separate teams:Dreadnought Dorothyys, Black-eye Susans, Knock-Outs and Victory Vixens. They systematically divide the teams so that each team has a fair combination of new and experienced skaters.
Kem Elliott, 24-year-old Kansas City,Mo.,resident,looks a little like

Blocker — determines the position of the pack and plays the defensive role for the team. She tries to limit the progress of the opposing team's jainmer while offering protection and defense for her own team's jammer.
ROLLER DERBY POSITIONS
Pivot — wears a striped helmet cover and determines the pace of the pack. She is the last line
of defense for the team because while acting as a blocker, she tries to prevent the opposing jammer from leaving the pack.
Jammer — sports a helmet cover with two stars and scores points for the team. She lines up 20 feet behind the pack, has to catch up to the pack, maneuver through them and lap them as many times as she
can, scoring points each time around.
I just saw a group of really strong women who were encouraging to each other and encouraging to themselves,"she says.
Lead jammer — the first jammer to "break the pack" passing all blockers and pivots on both teams while remaining in bounds. The lead jammer is the only player who can call off the jam before the two minutes expire. She does so by placing her hands on her hips.
Elliott joined the Kansas City league in Feb. 2006 and recently took over as co-director. She moved to Kansas City from Springfield, Mo, with her husband Tim and felt a little lost and little lonely not knowing anyone, she says. She heard about the league through a blurb in the newspaper so she decided to watch a practice. Elliot enjoyed roller-skating as a kid but never to a professional extent. However, she has always loved sports and has always been very athletic so she quickly gained interest, she says.
Elliott isn't the only one to find empowerment through roller derby.
The gauntlet
When she joined she made 45 new best friends and a little family who supports each other. Elliott says the sport also keeps her in shape and has offered empowerment."At my first try-out
Rachael Trader, Overland Park sophomore, had been battling severe depression when she read about the Kansas City league in the newspaper and decided it was the right thing for her. The physical and mental challenges of the sport help her almost therapeutically. "I love the diversity of the people and how I can get out my anger and aggression in a positive way," she says. Although Trader joined after the season had already begun in April 2006, she continues practicing with the team three nights a week. "This is the right thing for me," she says.
The women, for the most part joined the league because they either enjoyed skating to begin with or longed for a physically and mentally empowering life change.
The bout heightens and a jam is in session. A blocker from one team successfully prevents the opposing team's blocker from attacking the jammer. In doing so, both blockers fall out of bounds. One stands up and limps to the team bench clutching her arm to her chest. She's out for the rest of the bout.
Preparing for roller derby is a sport in itself and injuries are plentiful. Because of the blockers' tactics on the defense and the intense skating methods, bumps, bruises and burns are an every day occurrence. More serious injuries also occur.
Although fights break out on the track and injuries set some of the women back, roller derby is about friendly competition; what happens on the track stays on the track. "You can spend the day punching girls in the face," Elliot says, "and then when the day is done you buy them a beer and laugh about it."

DATING ON MASS
by Rachel Parker
The variety of restaurants on Massachusetts Street offer something for every couple.
The best way to snag a man is through his stomach. Dating can be a rough and tricky game to play,with obstacles that can complicate a student's already stressful life. Hit it off right by choosing wisely where to take a date for a comfortable evening.
Restaurant atmospheres range from relaxed — Milton's, Mad Greek and Jefferson's to more-sophisticated dining — Teller's, Café Beautiful and Pachamama's.
"If you're looking to impress someone, Teller's is a really good place to go," says Matt Hyde, general manager at Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St.
Lawrence restaurants accommodate a variety of daters who want to enjoy a meal. Whether your "perfect date," includes Thai food or an atmosphere that requires a tie, the variety of cuisine and environments downtown can suit anyone's taste.
Teller's is considered a more upscale restaurant, with romantic lighting and Italian cuisine. It has a comfortable setting with conversation pieces, including sculptures and paintings that can distract couples who need something to talk about. Hyde says. Diners can also make arrangements for a memorable evening such as surprise flowers and gifts at the table.
Café Beautiful, 730 Massachusetts St., has been open for less than a year and specializes in romantic dinners. Jaime Goddard, Logan senior, says her dinner there was the most romantic and beautiful she's ever had.
"You feel like you're the only people in the restaurant," she says. Goddard made reservations three weeks in advance for
her two-hour, eight-course meal. There are only four candle-lit tables in the entire restaurant.
Kendra Davis, Newton junior, would like to go on a date somewhere where two people can sit down and talk. She mentions both Wa and Milton's in her top choices to grab a bite with her boyfriend.
Massachusetts Street has a variety of food choices in a small strip. You can easily find a great place for sushi, Italian, Greek, Thai, coffee, brunch or an old-fashioned hamburger and french fries.
Some people feel more comfortable taking their dates to low-key restaurants. Cameron Geis, Topeka freshman, likes to take his girlfriend to Quinton's or Jefferson's because they have a local atmosphere and American food.
Jefferson's, 743 Massachusetts St., is a common hangout for students to get traditional American food that can also satisfy daters and take the tension out of a first date."It's a very relaxed place, without the pressures of fine-dating," Adam White, shift manager, says.
These restaurants are within walking distance of some of Lawrence's most popular bars, venues and parks. After dining, daters can stroll downtown, shop, see a movie, a concert or have a few drinks at a bar.
Katie Hobson, LaCygne freshman, says dates are an opportunity to try something new with someone new. She would like to be taken to Thai House for a date because she's never tried Thai food.
Whether you're a Lawrence veteran or a campus newbie, a sports buff or a romantic, Massachusetts Street will accommodate your dating and dining needs.

From Bad Santa to Bad News Bears no one can deny that Billy Bob Thornton plays a good
School for Scoundrels follows Roger (Jon Heder), a hapless loser who can't stand up for himself. Searching for the nerve to ask out his neighbor Amanda (Jacinda Barrett), Roger enrolls in a special class for men just like him.The class, taught by Dr.P(Billy Bob Thornton), helps the students overcome their shynness, confront their bullies and, most importantly, meet women. Coming off a great date with Amanda and standing up to those who used to terrorize him, the class seems to be working well for Roger. But when Dr.P is spotted pursuing Amanda, Roger starts to question the legitimacy of the class and sees his life get turned upside down.
jerk. Unfortunately, movies like these rely on Thornton and suffer from weak scripts. School for Scoundrels is no exception. The movie tries too hard to mix physical comedy and heart-warming romance. Although the film features some great direction from Todd Phillips (Old School), it suffers when Thornton isn't onscreen. For those of you who have seen the preview where Michael Clarke Duncan responds to Ben Stiller's backseat surprise with, "Oh damn!" save your money. You've already seen the funniest part of the film.

Jackass: Number Two
MOVIE
It might be hard to call Jackass: Number Two art, but after seeing everything that Johnny Knoxville and friends went through just so I could alternately laugh hysterically and dry heave, I feel had not doing them that service. This movie is art. Performance art that's value lies only in the willingness of the performers, but art nonetheless. It's hilarious, disgusting and occasionally heartwarming.
for a sequel, so they raised the bar. It pays off — my cheeks are sore from laughing.
More of the same from the Jackass crew wasn't going to cut it
Everything in this movie is funny, and a handful of the stunts aredisgusting,including those that involve eating things produced by horses (not from horses, by horses). The heartwarming parts come when one person rides a rocket powered shopping cart or attempts a similarly frightening stunt. Each successful run is cheered vigorously by the rest of the Jackass crew. John Waters appears in *Jackass Two*, which also warmed my heart. Anyone who has seen or at least heard of Waters' movie *Pink Flamingos* will know why this is.

Saint's Row
GAMES
XBox 360
Make no mistake, Saint's Row is a Grand Theft Auto clone. It takes place in a large, fictitious city full of crime and corruption, you're rewarded for acts of violence and immorality, and the game even shares Grand Theft Auto's love for bad double entendre (Rim Job's Body Shop, are you serious?).
IGN.COM
So what sets this game apart from the other knock-offs? For starters,Saint's Row features some of the most inventive missions in the genre, many even better than GTA's. You'll run drugs with a sociopathic hippie, steal prostitutes from rival pimps, battle gangs for territories, fill orders for a chop shop and even commit some good old-fashioned insurance fraud. Each type of mission has varying objectives, which add plenty of variety to the game. Story missions are much more open-ended, allowing you to battle only one gang at a time or spread your vengeance evenly over all four enemy crews.
The worst thing about Saint's Row is its presentation. There are some graphical shortcomings and some physics issues that spring up from time to time and the online modes leave something to be desired. But those grips are barely noteworthy compared to the cheesy, laughably profane dialog, poorly cut scenes and the horribly designed character models. These flaws give Saint's Row all the street cred of a Leawood frat boy with a
tricked out Honda Civic.
Still, fans of free-roaming crime games will be happy with Saint's Row. It has great mission variety and the online element is a nice distraction once the single-player game is completed.

No siblings?
No cousins?
No problem.
by Erika Bentson
ILLUSTRATION/ SCOTT KASERMAN
"OK, will you guys go hide my eggs now please?"
I said this to my parents and grandparents on Easter Sunday when I was 7. I had finally organized my own egg hunt. I had always heard of elaborate egg hunts from my friends that involved bright plastic eggs filled with jellybeans, marshmallow Peeps and quarters. The kids sat inside and waited for the adults to hide the eggs and then raced to find the best. Earlier that week, my mother had agreed to let me pick out some plastic eggs, and I pleaded with her for Peanut Butter M&M's and Jelly Bellies to fill them. Finally, on Easter afternoon, I encouraged my relatives to hide my eggs so I could go find them. After they had diligently hid the eggs that I had prepared, I scurried out to my grandmother's backyard while my parents and grandparents watched me search for the eggs. But there was no race. I looked for the eggs by myself, without competition from brothers, sisters or cousins.
It wasn't until freshman year of college that I realized my family was a little different. When my friends talked about going home, they spoke of how
excited they were to see their siblings, wacky aunts and cousins. They talked about tables filled with people chatting away and catching up with relatives. When I went home to Wichita for our family dinners, I was perched at the end
of my family's dinner table surrounded by adults. As a child, I would daydream during meals or work on some sort of art project with my food while my parents and grandparents chatted about politics, employees and their friends. There was no "kids' table"—the
only minor around was me. The person closest to me in age is my mom's brother, who is now 58. I am an only child and an only grandchild between both sets of grandparents. That means I have no brothers or sisters and no first cousins. I grew up around adults.
functions.I always prayed that restaurants we went to on vacations would have a children's menu — sometimes they didn't.
When I was around my family as a child, typically there were no other children around. I regularly attended what I referred to as "grown-up" functions, like going to the symphony and other fine arts
I AM AN ONLY CHILD AND
AN ONLY GRANDCHILD
BETWEEN BOTH SETS OF
GRANDPARENTS. I HAVE NO
BROTHERS OR SISTERS, NO
FIRST COUSINS. I GREW UP
AROUND ADULTS.
My closest experiences to the large family gatherings my friends talked about
were when we invited extended family over or attended family reunions. At those functions I was always excited because I finally got to sit at the "kids table" giggling and playing with my distant cousins' cool toys.
My childhood wasn't totally absent of interaction
with other people my age. I was lucky to grow up in a neighborhood with other only children. I grew up across the street from my friend Pat, who is now like my brother. He also has no siblings but was blessed to have first cousins his own age. We went to school together, played together, ate meals together, went on trips together and, like any other brother and sister duo, tormented and beat the crap out of each other.
Duringmychildhood,Ibecameawareof
the stereotypes that follow only children. We have a stigma of being spoiled, lacking social skills and maintaining bizarre bonds with our parents. But my parents forced me to be independent. I got a job when I was 15 so I could save up to buy a car. Because I wanted to hang out with people my own age, I grew into an extrovert to make close friends at school. My friends were the only people who could relate to situations and experiences that people my age had, so I asked them for advice like any sister would from her siblings. Nowadays, my friends tell me that I'm more of a sister to them than a friend.
I was never at a disadvantage growing up. Being an only child gave me independence and taught me responsibility. When you're around adults all the time you can't help but act like them. I inherited my grandfather's obsession with getting to the airport at least two hours before a flight. I also religiously check the oil in the engine and the air in the tires of my car. As it turns out, being around adults all the time isn't so bad. Besides, during those Easter egg hunts, I got all the good eggs.

BOARDWALK REMEMBERED
Boardwalk was engulfed in flames in minutes and burned to the ground within hours. Many of the factors that contributed to the speed off the fire's progress were built into countless other Lawrence apartments.
BUILT FOR DISASTER
Part 4: Apartment complexes can be death traps
BY FRANK TANKARD PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY JARED GAB
In the flaming orange hours after midnight on Oct. 7,2005,many residents of Boardwalk Apartments had two ways to escape death: the bedroom window or the burning stairway beyond the front door.
Leigh McHatton, a KU senior living on the second floor, chose the stairway. She was left with third-degree burns to her hands and feet and second-degree burns to her face. Doctors said her reddish skin may look normal in about six years.
David Heller, a KU senior living on the third floor, chose the window. For 20 minutes he clung by his fingertips from a ledge as flames spewed from his apartment and covered his face in ash. He dropped onto the hood of a parked
A year after the Boardwalk fire killed three, injured 20 and left more than 80 homeless, KU sophomore Danny Doherty goes to bed each night in his third-floor apartment at Hawks Pointe III knowing that in case of fire, he has the same grim choices for escape as McHatton and Heller.

Doherty and countless other KU students live in apartment buildings that share some of the same safety problems as Boardwalk inadequate exits, possible firewall damage, and a lack of sprinklers and central fire alarms that modern codes often require.

Part 5: Mother remembers impact of daughter's death
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Nicole, a Wichita senior, was supposed to have graduated in May 2006. She was supposed to visit the Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Colorado with her mom as they did each year.
Nancy Bingham had planned a birthday party for her daughter Nicole the weekend of Oct.12,2005. But instead, when the day came, she found herself signing Nicole's cremation papers.
She was supposed to die from a dangerous heart arrhythmia that gave her heart a 9-percent chance of stopping each day, if she
were going to die at all.
Nicole Bingham died in the Boardwalk Apartments fire on Oct.7,2005.
Nancy hung up the phone. A friend of Nicole's had just called; there had been a fire at the Boardwalk Apartments. No word from Nicole. She hadn't been at work that morning, either.
Nancy had planned to come to Lawrence for Nicole's birthday on Oct. 12, and now she had a different reason.
Several contradictions were running through her mind. Nicole could still be alive. But, she would have

ELECTION 2006:
Decide for yourself
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
A Rock the Vote page, "We Will Rock the Vote," on Facebook now allows students to register online. Young Voter Strategies, a nonpartisan political organization at The George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management, coordinated the Rock the Vote registration program on Facebook.
Register to vote; now pass it on
The power of peer persuasion is the motivation behind Rock the Vote and Facebook's union Tuesday to encourage young adults to register to vote.
"Peer-to-peer contact is the most powerful force in politics," said Hans Reimer, political director of Rock the Vote. "You talking to your friends about the importance of registering and you trying to register your friends to vote works better than anything else."
The organization's goal is to educate political campaigns about ways to reach young voters. Heather Smith, director of Young Voter Strategies, said the organization had done about 12 briefings on Capitol Hill since February and met with about 100 campaigns or consultants.
"If peer-to-peer is sufficiently effective, I think it will have a lot of consequences for how you reach young people online." Reimer said. "And in turn, how you engage them in the process."
4
He said once young adults registered to vote in 2004, 80 percent of them voted. What deters some, he said, was knowing how to register.
The nonpartisan organization Rock the Vote registered 1.2 million young adults in 2004 through its Web site. Reimer said it was easy, to get young adults to vote; the hard part was getting them to register.
"Young people can go to our Web site, fill out the form, print it out, sign it and mail it in," he said. "So it gets around the administrative problem of young people asking, 'Where do I take this? The DMV? The library?' "
Katie Loyd, community affairs director of Student Senate, coordinates voter registration and election education efforts across campus. She said students had the power to change local politics through their participation.

Play explores mystery of vanished student
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Macy sat next to the Leaches on Wednesday night and watched the rehearsal for his play performed by the English Alternative Theater. Macy said it was "nerve-wrecking"
Harold and Alberta Leach watched with tears streaming down their faces Wednesday night as different scenarios of their son's mysterious disappearance were depicted in the rehearsal of a play by University of Kansas graduate student Tim Macy.
Eighteen years ago, Randy Leach then a Lincoln high school senior, disappeared on the night of a pregraduation party. The mystery of his disappearance was never solved, but Macy examined the circumstances surrounding it in his play, "Leaves of Words."
The play presented various scenarios that could possibly explain Leach's disappearance, including suicide and him running off to California.
But the Leaches were grateful for Macy's work.
waiting to see how the Leaches would react to the play, which showed their son being killed multiple times in gruesome ways.
"At intermission, they turned to me and said I did a good job," Macy said.
Stephen Lim, professor of English who advised Macy during the play-writing process, said that the hardest part of writing the play was filtering through all of the information.
The investigation surrounding Leach's disappearance has been ongoing for eighteen years. He said he would like Macy's play to generate more awareness of his son's disappearance and encourage people to come forward with information.
Harold Leach, who welcomed the idea of the play, said Macy did a "fantastic job." He said the play was done in "very good taste."

GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND
BY KATIE HOBSON
Velaer has been going to haunted houses since sixth grade. She said she loved to get scared. However, she said newcomers must walk in with the right mindset.
Celebrate Halloween this season by facing your fears at a haunted house. Kansas City, Mo., is home to several haunted houses, including The Edge of Hell, The Beast and Main Street Morgue. All three are within walking distance of one another on West 12th and 13th
streets.
Kyla Velaer, Blue Springs, Mo., freshman, a devoted haunted house visitor, recommends The Edge of Hell, not for the "scare factor" but for the unique exit. When people reach the end of the maze on the top floor of the house, they are handed a sheet of wax paper to slide from "heaven" down a spiral slide
"You have to know it's fake and that they can't touch you unless you touch them," Velaer said.
to the devil's lair.
Though Velaer no longer thinks haunted houses are scary, she said she still liked to go with friends to laugh and for something fun to do. She said the best time to go was before Halloween: fewer people were at the houses, which increased the element of surprise.
The Edge of Hell, The Beast and
Main Street Morgue are open for business in September. The remaining dates are Oct. 5 through 8, 12 through 15, 19 through 22 and 25 through 31. The cost for a one-person pass at the Edge of Hell and the Beast is $20. For directions on how to get to any of the three houses, visit their Web sites at www.theedgeofhell.com (The Edge of Hell and the Beast) and www.scared-shirtless.com (Main Street Morgue).

Japanese man recites pi, sets unofficial digit record
TOKYO — A Japanese mental health counselor recited pi to 100,000 decimal places from memory, setting what he claims to be a new world record.
Akira Haraguchi, 60, needed more than 16 hours to recite the number and broke his personal best of 83,431 digits set in 1995, his office said Wednesday. He made the attempt at a public hall in Kisarazu, just east of Tokyo.
Pi is a physical constant defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is usually written out to a maximum of three decimal places, as 3.141, in math textbooks. But the number, which has fascinated scientists for centuries, has no theoretical limit to the number of decimal places it can be written to.
"What I am aiming at is not just memorizing figures, I am thrilled by seeking a story in pi," Haraguchi said.
The Guinness Book of Records lists Hiroyuki Goto, also from Japan, as the official record holder for reciting pi from memory. He recited the ratio out to 42,195 decimal places in 1995.
Guinness never entered Haraguchi's 1995 feat in its record book. The editors of the book could not be immediately reached for comment regarding Haraguchi's latest attempt.
Haraguchi, a psychiatric counselor and business consultant in nearby Mobara city, took a break of about 5 minutes every one to two hours, going to the rest room and eating rice balls during the attempt, said Naoki Fujii, spokesman of Haraguchi's office.
Fujii said all of Haraguchi's activities during the attempt, including breaks, were videotaped and will be sent for verification
by the Guinness Book of Records.
Australian robber escapes with duffle full of snakes
ADELAIDE, Australia — A man held up a woman and two children at gunpoint before fleeing with a dozen snakes worth more than $74,535, police said.
The snakes are valued at $6,708 each, police said.
The man demanded the 12 green tree snakes, which are not venomous, when he approached the door of the woman's home near the South Australian state capital, Adelaide, on Wednesday, state police said Thursday.
He then stuffed the snakes
measuring up to 31 inches long into a duffel bag and bound the woman's ankles and the hands of two boys before fleeing the scene.

"talked to his family and they said he is doing well, but he did break his pelvis," said Gary Green, casino manager.

Police tag modern-day 'Robin Hood' as thief
HONOLULU — A boat refinisher wanted for a series of bank robberies dating back to last October said he was driven by "Robin Hood syndrome," or taking from the rich to give to the poor.
A handcuffed Michael Rosario, 40, spoke Wednesday with news crews shortly after arriving at police department headquarters.
"I was going to turn myself in today after I see my face in the paper," Rosario said. "I was just checking in with my bosses first."
The arrest was made at Pacific Diversified Finishes Inc. after his boss tipped police than Rosario was coming in to pick up his last paycheck.
The serial robber was known for donning wigs and dressing up as a woman, an injured soldier and a hospital employee.
When asked how many banks he had robbed Rosario said, "I'm not going to say that."

Nutrition labels get little interest
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
A recent study found most people don't properly read nutrition labels on foods, but many college students don't read them anyway.
Registered dietician Lynn Dunn, research coordinator for the Energy Balance Lab at the University of Kansas, 1301 Sunnyside Ave., said many college students didn't take time to read nutrition labels.
The study, released in September and led by Russell Rothman, assistant professor of medicine and pediatrics at Vanderbilt University, found most people didn't properly decipher the labels because they lacked necessary reading or math skills.
Dunn said the percent daily value of all nutrients was the most important part of a nutrition label. Percent daily value is based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
Matthew Slaboch, Cary, Ill. graduate student, said he didn't look at nutrition labels because they weren't important to him.
The self-described "junk-food vegetarian" bought two bags of cheddar potato chips and a bag of pretzels at the Hawk Shop Thursday afternoon. His purchase totaled 1,185 calories, 53.5 grams of fat and 104.5 percent of the daily value for sodium.
Dunn said the ingredients on the top half of the label, which included fat, sodium and cholesterol, should be consumed in moderation. People should consume more ingredients on the bottom half of the label, such as fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Kansan launches free online classifieds
INTERNET
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Lawrence freshman Jordan Gouge bought some books at the beginning of the semester that he knew he would have to sell back when his classes were over. He started looking for a classified site where he could post his books without costing him any money.
"I figured I could sell the books for more than I would get at the bookstore and cheaper than what someone else would pay for them," he said.
He said he couldn't find a good site to do that for free.
Starting today, students can access a local online network to sell unwanted items, look for jobs or roommates or try to find things
The University Daily Kansan launched hawkchalk.com, a free online classified community available to anyone with a valid KU e-mail address.

Spencer McElhaney, Prairie Village sophomore, he said he would use the site to find a job because he didn't have one right now.
"Something like this coming to campus could be pretty beneficial," he said.
Kansan online sales manager Ashley Bolton said they decided to do it because there was not an easy way for students to find jobs, housing, and to get rid of stuff.
"When you're moving out in August, so many people have stuff that other people can use, but don't
have anything to do with it," Bolton said. "So we created this online community so people could do that."
Hawkchalk.com will allow its users unlimited classified posts each month. Users can post as many as four print ads each month that last five days.
Kansan sales and marketing adviser Jennifer Weaver said classifieds were making a dramatic shift to the Web. She said she hoped hawk-chalk.com would become "a widely used institution at KU"
Kerry Benson, journalism professional-in-residence, thought hawkchalk.com could have the same benefits as craigslist.org, another free classified Web site.
"It connects in a way that nothing else can," Benson
said. "There are no strings attached, no faces, no hoops to jump through. It makes things easier."
Weaver said The Kansan advertising staff would lose revenue as a result of offering free classified ads, but she wasn't concerned.
"We want students to realize it's created by students for students," she said.
Bolton is excited about the possibilities for the site.

"We just want students to be able to use hawkchalk.com," Bolton said. "It's all for them."

BOARDWALK REMEMBERED
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6 2006
BOARDWALK (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Other apartment buildings take advantage of a code loophole that allows them to build without having to install sprinklers and fire alarms or include a safe second exit.
For days after the 76-unit, blocklong Boardwalk building burned, dazed, displaced residents paced beyond the yellow caution tape looking for answers to how and why it happened as firefighters dug through their charred belongings.
The questions were answered in part four days after the fire, when police arrested Jason A. Rose, a then-20-year-old Boardwalk resident with a troubled past, and charged him with starting the fire. His trial is scheduled for Feb. 6.
Other puzzles were not so easily solved: Why did Boardwalk go so quickly? How was it that when firefighters arrived at 1:25 a.m., only six minutes after the first 911 call was made, the building was already an inferno with several residents trapped inside?
The answer to that question has implications for people who live today in buildings with many of the same problems as Boardwalk.
An ignored warning
One part of that answer lies in a box in city storage, on a 36-year-old inspection record that ominously predicted the fates of McHatton. Heller and dozens of others trapped in the Boardwalk fire.
In October 1970, a city inspector inspecting the five-year-old Boardwalk complex, then called Ridglea Apartments, noted that if the front balcony stairways caught fire, the only way out would be through windows on the back side, two-thirds of which were two and three stories high.
"I personally feel these structures in no way provide a reasonable degree of safety to the occupants in case of a fire," the inspector wrote.
The inspector noted that the buildings had three stories, though under city code they were classified as two stories because the first stories were halfway below ground. If the buildings had been classified as three stories, they would have been subject to more stringent building codes.
What happened after the inspection? Nothing. The buildings were up to code. Unsafe in the eyes of the inspector, perhaps, but up to code.
The Lawrence city manager did write a letter to the apartment owners, saying, "We do point out that the Building Code is to be considered minimal ... I am sure you will agree with us that all apartments should provide a very minimum degree of safety for their residents, and we encourage you to take whatever steps you deem necessary to provide safety for the occupants."
The problems the inspector noted, while recorded decades ago, are neither old nor uncommon to apartments where KU students live.
"In all my years," said Tim Pinnick, building inspections supervisor for the Lawrence Department of Neighborhood Resources and an inspector of 29 years, "it's not about what you can do. It's about the money."
how to find a safe apartment
» A sprinkler system
Just because an apartment building has passed city fire and building codes doesn't mean it's safe for fires. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Inspector Russell Brickell said to look for the following traits in a fire-safe apartment:
> Two safe, easy exits
> Working smoke detectors
> A spinner system
> A central fire alarm system
> A working fire extinguisher
> Fire-resistant construction (ask the landlord what the building is made of)
> A bedroom window that opens
"I wouldn't rent from somebody that's not keeping that stuff up."
A common, dangerous construction type
Brickell said.
"Not all of these are code requirements, but that's something you want to be looking for if you're looking for a safe place to live."
Brickell said.

Inspector's Comments:

Inspector's Comments;
In 1970, five years after the Boardwalk complex was built, a city inspection officer found faults with the buildings that would doom residents in 2005.
I personally feel these structures in no way provide a reasonable degree of safety to the occupants in case of a fire. I feel they must be changed to provide the same.
Eighty percent of KU students live off campus, and students naturally gravitate to housing where rent is cheap. This often means living in old apartment buildings built under outdated codes. It also means living in buildings built to fit a well-known loophole in the fire code. Boardwalk was built to fit that loophole, and so were many newer apartment buildings.
Kansan file photo
Danny Doherty, of De Soto, and his three roommates come to live in Hawks Pointe III because monthly rent is affordable at $325 a person and it's about as close as one can get to campus at 1145 Louisiana.
Unlike Boardwalk, Doherty's building is not very old. It was built in 1986 under fire and building codes far ahead of those Boardwalk was built under.
However, the building shares some important traits with Boardwalk Apartments: It is a two-and-a-half story, outside-exit building, a common type of apartment building where KU students live. In case of fire, Doherty would have the same two choices as Boardwalk's residents — brave the stairs, or drop from the third story.
In theory, city codes are designed to require extra safety measures for buildings that have floors too high for residents to safely jump out of a window — meaning three or more stories. For the top story of a threestory building, two safe exits are required — not including windows — while only one safe exit is required for many two-and-a-half-story buildings. To residents, buildings where the bottom level is halfway below ground may look like they have three stories, but according to the city, they only have two-and-a-half.
"Ive never actually looked at the structure of it," Doherty said. "Depending on how extreme the fire was, I would probably go through the fire rather than risk jumping out the window. It's a pretty high jump from here."
As Doherty recently looked down from his third-floor balcony at the parking lot about 20 feet below, he said he would rather take his chances on a flaming set of stairs, as McHatton did, on on jumping, as Heller did.
Other students, like Marie Clement, Stilwell senior, pay more for a new apartment with modern safety features. Clements pays $620 a month for her one-bedroom, third-floor apartment. She lives at Chase Court Apartments, 1942 Stewart Ave. — a three-story, outside-exit
building built in 2002 that is required to have both a sprinkler system and a central fire alarm system.
In the late '80s, Lawrence codes started requiring sprinkler and central fire alarm systems for all new apartment buildings with three or more stories or 16 or more units between firewalls. In the '90s, the city a passed retroactive law requiring fire alarm systems in enclosed common areas for all existing apartment buildings of that type.
According to a decade-long study by the National Fire Protection Association, sprinklers decrease the number of apartment fires by 93 percent and civilian deaths by 81 percent.
But sprinklers cost $1 to $2 per square foot in new construction, according to the American Fire Sprinkler Association, which can mean tens of thousands of dollars in costs for builders. And a fire alarm system can cost $6,000 to $10,000 for a small three-story building.
With builders trying to maximize their space and build inexpensively, this translates to a slew of two-and-a-half story, outside-exit buildings with fewer safety restrictions, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Inspector Russell Brickell explained.
"We have a ton of these in town," he said. "They build them that way on purpose just to avoid sprinkling buildings."
Soon, however, sprinklers could be required. The Fire Code Board of Appeals is drafting an ordinance to adopt the 2006 International Fire Code, which, for the first time, would require sprinklers for all new apartment buildings. The city commission is expected to consider adopting the new code this month.
However, neither Brickell nor city building inspectors could provide exact numbers of how many apartment buildings fit the code loophole.
"Sprinklers would definitely save more lives than anything else," Waters said, "but it's so impractical you can't do it."
"But," Brickell warned, "the old buildings will still be there."
George Waters, former owner of George Waters Management and longtime Lawrence apartment manager, said he was required only once to install sprinklers in an apartment building, in 1996 for an 11-unit, three-story building at 1712 Ohio. He said the sprinklers cost him more than $25,000.
But if renters don't demand such systems, cash-strapped owners won't pay the extra expense. Dettbarn said tragedies such as the Boardwalk fire typically create a market demand for fire safety systems, but that demand lasts only a few months to a few years.
August Dettbarn, a residential appraiser for the Douglas County appraiser's office, said the market generally dictates what safety features builders will pay for. If buyers or renters refused to live in apartments not equipped with sprinkler and fire alarm systems, owners would have to install them to stay competitive.
"Then it will fade from the radar screen," he said.
A danger between the walls
Russell Bricklek, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Inspector, checks Lawrence apartment buildings each year. But most of what makes a building safe goes on during construction, he said.
Only one number mattered when Leigh McHatton moved into her Boardwalk apartment: $375 — pretty cheap for a single-person apartment, even if it was far from campus on the 500 block of Fireside Drive.
Another number she now wishes she would have considered: 1965 — the year the complex was built.
Aside from common-sense stuff — safe exits, sprinklers and fire alarm systems — one far less visible but equally important factor in fire safety is firewalls.
In 1965, firewalls, fire-resistant walls built within buildings to stop or slow fire from spreading from one part to another, were not tightly regulated by the city. Today builders can build no more than 16 apartment units between firewalls without being required to install sprinklers, and firewalls have be certified to withstand fire for two to four hours. In addition, each unit must be separated by construction that can withstand fire for one hour.
"What now we consider standard and you have to do for safety reasons, many years ago you didn't have to do," explained Dennis McCreary, leader of architectural and engineering services with the International Code Council.
Large buildings made of non-fire-resistive wood such as Boardwalk were required to have firewalls, but the firewalls were not always as strong then and builders could build more units between them.
"If it would have had a two-hour separation wall between buildings, it would've been OK," Brickell, the fire inspector, said of the Boardwalk fire.
But even if a building was built with sturdy firewalls, it's a safe bet that the older a building is, the more ravaged its firewalls have become by anyone who has done utility work to the building.
"As soon as we were done inspecting, the cable guy comes and knocks a hole in the firewall," said Cortez
Lawrence, director of the National Fire Programs Division of the U.S. Fire Administration.
The aftermath
October 10,2005.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Chief Mark Bradford held a press conference across the noisy street from where investigators scoured the rubble. Questions centered on two words: How? Why?
The fire spread rapidly, Bradford explained, eating through time-ravaged firewalls and roaring over oxygen-fed outdoor stairways as residents slept soundlessly.
The 40-year-old building was built under outdated codes that didn't ensure an adequate degree of safety, he told a swarm of cameras and microphones. And its construction problems were common to Lawrence apartments.
"As long as we continue to build buildings of this fashion," he said, "it will probably continue to result in this type of damage and loss of life."
As for McHatton, of Winona, and Heller, of Manhattan, they found newer apartments with safer exits, and finished their senior years. McHatton got new cats, Simon and George, to replace the two who died in the fire, Frankie and Joey. Heller, who also lost everything, got new clothes.
"Hopefully this is a once-in-a lifetime experience," McHatton said. "I certainly wouldn't wish this on anyone."

It wasn't the ball of a fire alarm that woke Leigh McHatton. It was the heat, and maybe some smoke. All she knows is that she had fallen asleep watching TV on her living room couch on a cool Thursday night in October, and when she awoke, something was off. She ended up dropping out of what was to be her final semester to spend months recovering from severe burns to her hands, feet and face after running down the flashing stairway of her second-story apartment. After graduating in May, she now lives in a safer building and got new cats, Simon and George, to replace the two she lost in the fire, Franise and Joey. Doctors said after the fire that her skin would look normal in six year.

Part 6: Rose trial set for February
BY MARK VIERTHALER
The individual charged with starting the fire that burned down the Boardwalk Apartment Complex in July is awaiting a district judge's decision on whether to exclude certain evidence from the trial.
Jason A. Rose, 21, of Lawrence, faces three charges of murder and one count of aggravated arson with substantial risk of bodily harm.
The Oct. 7 fire killed University of Kansas student Nicole Bingham and Lawrence residents Jose Gonzales and Yolanda Riddle.
Through his attorneys, Timothy Frieden and Ron Evans, Rose filed a claim on July 21 claiming his questioning on Oct. 10 and 11 was coerced out of him. A statement prepared by his attorneys said interrogators used information illegally from Rose's records at the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services without his permission.
The statement also said Rose's Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and 14th Amendment rights had been violated. The district attorney's office challenged the statement, saying there was no evidence presented on
how the interrogators violated Rose's rights.
At the hearing on Sept. 20, the defense questioned the mental stability of Rose and how truthful his confession was. Evans used Rose's history of sexual and emotional abuse, his history of mental-health issues and his use of drugs as evidence of his state of mind.
The agency's files on Rose said Rose had a history of starting fires.
A representative from Judge Jack A. Murphy's office said the judge was still reviewing recordings to determine if any wrongdoing was committed. Murphy will then decide whether to admit evidence at the trial.
When Rose was brought to the scene of the crime, he repeatedly changed his story concerning the origin of the fire, according to court documents.
Repeated calls to the district attorney's office were not returned during the last week.

Timeline
On Oct. 7,2005 Lawrence-Douglas County and Fire and Medical receive a call at approximately 1:25 a.m. that the Boardwalk Apartments are on fire. The fire department gets the blaze under control by 4:30 a.m. An estimated 18 are injured at the end of the night.
Three days later, emergency personnel find three bodies in the wreckage of the building. The building has burnt down to the foundation. An estimated 35 KU students are left homeless.
On Oct. 12, 2005, a probable cause warrant for the arrest of Jason A. Rose is issued by the Lawrence Police Department and signed by Judge Jack Murphy. He is arrested after offering conflicting stories about what happened. He confesses in a videotaped interrogation that he started a small fire, but he didn't intend for it to rage out of control.
One day later, official charges are brought against Rose. These include three counts of murder in the first degree and one count of aggravated arson. He appears
in court 11 days later for his preliminary hearing.
One month later on April 10, the defense requests the case be thrown out because of lack of evidence to convict the defendant. The court document argues that the state of Kansas has not presented enough evidence to show any wrongdoing on behalf of their client.
On July 21, Rose submits a request to have his previous statement to court be thrown out, citing his mental health. He appears in court on Sept. 20 to defend this request. A decision by Judge Murphy is still pending
A list of witnesses three pages long is presented as evidence against Rose. Lawrence police detective Troy Squire presents evidence consisting of 911 calls, victim testimony and a transcript of Rose's testimony.
On March 11, Rose's attorneys submit a motion to get the 911 call from Helen Riddle thrown out as evidence.

Nancy Bingham, mother of Nicole Bingham, sits on her daughters bed holding a Big Bird stuffed animal that replaced the one lost in the Boat walk Apartment last year. Nicole died as a result of the fire. Few Items in Nicole's bedroom at her house in Wichita have been moved since her death.

Nothing was left of Nicole's apartment, firefighters told her. The fire eviscerated the entire floor. Nancy wanted to leave, to isolate and to go numb.
Nancy said she had a pretty good idea of what happened to Nicole that night. Nicole's heart couldn't take a lot of stress. She couldn't withstand heat, either. Temperatures higher than 90 degrees sapped her strength.
On the Friday of the Boardwalk Apartments fire, the temperature inside the flaming buildings was more than 10 times that hot.
"I believe all the fire caused her heart to stop," Nancy said. "I believe it was why she didn't get out."
Several months earlier, chest pains had sent Nicole to the emergency room. After the scare, Nancy had broached a sensitive subject: "We know what we'll do with me," in terms of her own death, she said to Nicole. "But what should we do for you?"
Jack Davis, Lawrence firefighter, brought friends from Nicole's Alpha Delta Pi sorority to comfort Nancy. They insisted Nancy stay at the sorority house.
"I could hear their tears and my tears that night," Nancy said. "They just made me part of the house."
Nicole's friends consoled her, gave her space and checked on her often. The girls shared stories about how wonderful and caring a friend Nicole was. In a rare moment of lightheartedness, Nancy said, "Don't forget how argumentative she was."
The girls laughed. It was true — Nicole could be pretty bossy sometimes.
Sharing continued and more members of Alpha Delta Pi quietly entered the room.
Eventually 20 to 30 girls had gathered, "telling stories about Nicole, crying and laughing and experiencing a tremendous amount of healing," Nancy said. "The more I comforted others, the more comfort Iot."
"We got to hear about all the stuff Nicole did when she was little, and all the friends she made, and the things she did in high school," Denchfield said. "Nancy's being there gave us the ability to open up."
Meghan Denchfield, Pickering, Canada, senior, said the way Nancy opened up was one of the biggest factors in her own healing.
On the day before Nicole's birthday, officials located her body in the rubble of her ruined apartment. Nancy observed Nicole's birthday the next day with her sorority sisters and signed Nicole's cremation papers.
Several days later, a friend of Nicole made a tribute DVD with a special sound track: a Melissa Etheridge song called "This is Not Goodbye."
Nancy was struck by a line from the song: "All my strength, all my
desire cannot numb this present fire"
"There's just a numbness that comes, like a protective shell against the shock," Nancy said.
She stopped working after Nicole's death. A Wichita-based software designer, Nancy couldn't make her mind focus on the detailed job. Days became weeks. Winter came. Depression and nightmares enveloped her for a time.
Nancy wanted to stay in the moment, just like Nicole lived her life. Stay in the moment, don't focus on the future. Live right here. She didn't talk to the media at all, making only brief public appearances at Nicole's memorial services in Lawrence and Wichita.
Friends of Nicole kept in close contact via e-mail and phone calls.
Spring arrived. Mother's Day.
Many phone calls, letters and e-mails flooded to Nancy on that day.
A couple of months later, Nancy took the yearly trip to Crested Butte with several of Nicole's friends. They climbed the mountain, just like Nicole had always wanted to. Her heart condition had always stopped her.
Nancy is planning a short candle-passing ceremony at Alpha Delta Pi to mark the one-year anniversary
of Nicole's death. She also wants to be in Lawrence when Jason A. Rose, the man charged with starting the Boardwalk fire, stands trial in February.
Nancy said people have asked her if she will feel strong enough to work through the trial. Though many dark months have passed, she said she's ready to face the memories the trial will bring.
"Nancy is such a strong lady, she knows how to cope with things," Meghan Sullivan, a KU graduate who spent time with Nancy at Alpha Delta Pi, said. "I think she gave me the strength. If she can make it through, then I can."
The passing of time and walking through memories have been integral to Nancy's emotional healing, she said. Remembering Nicole is both the hardest and the best thing.
"She touched so many lives," Nancy said. "I believe that we go through hard times so we can have experiences to share with others so we can help others through. She continues to touch people who never knew or even met her."

OUR VIEW
Automatic license suspensions for underage drinkers not a fair law
The Kansas Legislature should rework its stringent law on license suspension for underage possession of alcohol.
Students less than 21 years of age who are convicted of consuming, possessing or purchasing (or attempting to purchase) alcohol face a 30-day license suspension, according to a five-year-old state law. The second offense carries a 90-day suspension and the third a one-year suspension. The city must comply with the law because city code cannot be less restrictive than state law.
Kansas is one of 29 states that have enacted a version of the use/lose" law as of January 1, 2006, according to the Alcohol Policy Information System Web site. The laws began to emerge in the mid-1980s.
The state should suspend or revoke licenses of drunk drivers, who are more likely to kill or main others. But the use/lose law unfairly punishes those who avoid drinking and driving.
The penalty is already harsh enough. Underage drinkers pay a minimum fine of $300 and a maximum fine of $500 if convicted.
The law has failed to reduce minor in possession offenses. The number of offenses has neither increased nor decreased in Douglas County from 2002 to 2004, according to Kansas Bureau of Investigation statistics.

showing a casual relationship. But they do indicate that alcohol use among 12-to-17-year-old Kansans has not decreased significantly from 2002-2004, according to the government's National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Alcohol use among 18-to-25-year-old Kansans has increased from 2002-2004. Kansas has consistently ranked in the top 20 states for alcohol use in both age groups.
The public loses if young Kansans cannot work because of license suspensions. Productivity and tax revenue could decrease if those convicted rely on a vehicle for transportation.
If the state must suspend underage drinkers' licenses, it should suspend those of drinkers under the age of 18, as 12 other states do.
The Kansas Legislature should treat college students as adults and nix license suspensions for underage drinkers.

Whether you're gellin' or zippin', airport security is confusin'
Ah, the wonders of a Ziploc bag. Have some grapes you don't want to shrivel or licorice you don't want to reach a form that's impossible to chew? That's a job for a Ziploc. Want to bring some Cheerios to munch on in class? That also calls for a Ziploc. Need something to hold all your pencils? Ziploc. Can't get on an airplane? Well, grab a Ziploc and you're as good as sitting in your window seat, eating your personal pouch of peanuts. Yes, the newest addition to the uses of plastic zip-top bags involves airport security.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement on Aug. 10 stating that it had "raised the nation's threat level to Severe, or Red, for commercial flights originating in the United Kingdom bound for the United States." The threat level for all commercial flights in or bound for the U.S. was raised to "High, or Orange," at the same time. These actions were in response to the arrests of several people in the U.K. who were allegedly planning to bomb passenger airplanes bound for the U.S. At the time the statement was issued, all liquids, gels and lotions were banned from being carried on airplanes.

Then, on Sept. 26, the Transportation Security Administration adjusted restrictions to allow passengers to carry certain liquids, gels and aerosols through security. Now, to pass inspection and take your liquids of choice onto the plane, you must store them in one of those wonderful bags previously mentioned. According to the TSA Web site, one can bring "travel-size toiletries that fit comfortably in one quart-sized, clear plastic zip-top bag." However, the toiletries must be three ounces or less. Any item that
is more than three ounces is prohibited. If you don't have a plastic bag, you must check the items with your other baggage or throw them away.
Passengers are also required to remove their shoes during inspection to be X-rayed. Gel shoe heels are allowed, but gel inserts are not permitted under any circumstances. Are you gellin? Well, that's great, but you and Dr. Scholl can't get on an airplane. Not even a Diploc can save you. However, you can bring your gel-filled bra. In fact, you can wear that right on through security. You don't even have to take it off. What a relief.
ago. I wondered about it as this sweet woman I was referring to as "Granny" took off her shoes and stood with her arms spread while a few shady characters, whom I wouldn't even feel comfortable standing next to on a department store escalator, passed by and chuckled. I wonder how much security a Ziploc offers and how much violence is prevented by allowing Mr. Aching Fee to have his gel heels but not his gel inserts. I take an all or nothing stance on this. Either I can bring all the toiletries in my carry bag, or I can put all of them in my other baggage to be checked. I'd rather be told to keep it all or leave it all, rather than to keep this and leave that, put this in a clear bag and never bring that.
The terrorist attacks five years ago warranted a number of increased security strategies at airports, most of which I understand and support. I want to keep our airports safe as much as anyone. Sometimes, though, I wonder about it. I wondered about it when I watched my grandma get pulled aside for a random check at each airport during our trip to Port Aransas, Texas, three years
I'm sure the government knows how to protect its people better than I do, but I think selling plastic bags at airports might have just become the hottest industry to tap in to.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Homecoming matters
By saying that students don't care about homecoming week ("Homecoming week no longer matters to students" Thursday), the Kansan staff shows it clearly did not do its research on the topic.
The week is designed for all students, not just the greek community. Students on the Homecoming Steering Committee are active in other student groups, like the Black Student Union, Student Senate and student housing. Only five of the 13 members are greek.
The committee has been planning events for the last nine months, improving past events to include more students. One change in this year's homecoming is the awarding of points. Greek Life and Student Life categories encourage more involvement. Even the location of the pep rally was moved to encourage student attendance.
ROTC members ran in the Spirit Sprint, scholarship hall residents won games in the 3-on-3 basketball tournament, and the Asian American Student Union plans to a decorate a vehicle for the parade.
Homecoming has been a KU tradition since 1912 and the committee has worked hard to provide opportunities for fans to show their spirit. Next time you criticize a tradition because you are tired, think of all those Jayhawks still waving the wheat at athletic events.

It was a sad day, especially in light of this recent statement from President Bush. "If only a moderated-sized, liberal, Midwestern college town would tell me to remove our troops from Iraq, I'd probably do it."
City commissioner Boog Highberger offered some weak excuses for refusing to take action.
I'm ashamed of the city commission for refusing to answer this call.

The problem with the Iraq issue is that everybody's way too informed about the conflict and its foreign policy implications. People need to stop reading up about the conflict and just form a knee-jerk opinion about it, already.

Prosecutors drop porn suit State drops charges ex-JonBenet Ramsey suspect Karr
BY KIM CURTIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA ROSA, Calif. — A judge dismissed child pornography charges Thursday against former JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr after prosecutors said they didn't have enough evidence to take the case to trial.
Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Rene Chouteau ordered Karr released immediately, bringing an end to his two-month odyssey in the U.S. criminal justice system after he was extradited from Thailand on suspicion of killing the 6-year-old beauty queen
Karr, 41, was returned to California last month to face the five-year-old pornography case after DNA evidence cleared him of killing the girl in her Boulder, Colo., home in 1996.
The misdemeanor pornography case fell apart almost as quickly, as investigators admitted losing vital computer evidence that was seized from Karr in April 2001 when he was working as a substitute teacher in Sonoma and Napa counties.
Defense lawyers tried twice unsuccessfully to get the charges dismissed and were seeking to have evidence barred from trial when prosecutors gave up. They said they couldn't establish when the child porn images had been downloaded on Karr's computer.
Prosecutors acknowledged that if Karr were convicted he would not have served any additional time in jail, because he spent several months behind bars awaiting trial in 2001. They said they were seeking to have him register as a sex offender.
Karr was not in court for the hearing. He was expected to be released from jail later in the day. It was not immediately clear where Karr would go or what he might do.
Karr had fled the state after being released from jail in 2001 and had been on the lam until his arrest in Bangkok. He first came to the attention of Sonoma County officials after an informant told authorities about alarming e-mails he had been sending her.
Investigators looked at Karr in
connection with the unsolved 1997 murder of 12-year-old Georgia Moses, whose body was found dumped along a highway in Sonoma County, Karr's lawyers said.
The sexually explicit pictures of children were later found during a search of his home, authorities said.
His arrest led school officials to strip him of his teaching credential, and his marriage ended in divorce later that year.
In hearings over the past two weeks, the defense accused prosecutors of misconduct for failing to alert the judge sooner that evidence was missing, and they questioned the strength of the evidence that remained. The defense also said the search warrants were based on an unreliable witness with a history of mental illness.
Sheriff Bill Cogbill said he accepted the prosecutor's decision to drop the charges.
"We're conducting an internal affairs investigation into these issues, and we're continuing an audit of our evidence handling procedures," he said in a statement.

Topeka Goodyear Rubber and Tire Company employees Mike Munoz, left, Ernest Allison, center, Ron Thomas, right, stand outside the gates of the Topeka Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company just after noon Thursday.

Goodyear workers walk out
Topeka employees among nationwide strike in company
BY CARL MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Like many co-workers on the picket line, Steve Huston wasn't happy Thursday about going on strike at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. plant, but he felt there was no other option.
"Nobody is glad to be on strike, but we're trying to hold onto what we have and they are trying to take more benefits and wages from us," said Huston, of Topeka, who has worked at the plant for 36 years. "We're trying to keep benefits for the retirees, too."
Huston was among 1,300 to 1,400 members of United Steelworkers Local 307 striking, joining workers at 15 other Goodyear plants in nine other states and Canada after talks broke down between the world's third-largest tire maker and the union, which represents some 15,000 workers at all the plants.
The union said the company's latest proposal would have included two plant closings, although the company refused to say whether its latest offer involved plant closings. The Akron, Ohio-based company
said it would keep its plants open.
About 20 workers formed a single-file picket line outside the plant, many holding signs declaring they were on strike for "unfair labor practices." A trucker drove to the plant entrance, saw the picketers, turned around and left as several strikers cheered.
Workers said they will maintain the picket line around the clock outside the Topeka plant, which makes tires — some as big as 12 feet tall — for commercial vehicles such as dump trucks and tractor-trailers and for Humvee military vehicles.
The company contends the offer rejected by the union protects jobs and secures pensions while mirroring agreements other companies have.
But Huston said workers are concerned about proposals that would have them paying more for health insurance, losing a cost-of-living adjustment and accepting a pay plan that could result in some workers earning less.
The strike was no surprise for the workers, many sporting blue T-shirts with a slogan on the back "Unity today. Protection for retirees.
Security for the future."
The old contract expired July 22 and both sides agreed to an indefinite day-to-day extension. On Monday, the union served notice it would terminate the contract at midday Thursday if no agreement was reached.
As the noon hour approached, union stewards told workers to pack up their tools and clock out. Bob Dolezilek, who has been at the plant 39 years, said he shut down his tire-making machine and left.
Dolezilek, of nearby Holton, said he has some savings stashed away and his wife works. But like other strikers, he will pinch pennies and look for part-time work. Still, he has no regrets with walking out.
"This time, they asked for the moon," he said.
"They sacrificed in past strikes to get us what we've got. I'm an old-fashioned guy. If somebody does you a favor, you do them a favor," he said.
Lloyd Brown, of Topeka, a sixyear veteran at the plant, said he's striking for more than any personal gain — it's because of other workers who went on strike in the past.

Spinach inquiry begins in California
SAN FRANCISCO - In opening a criminal investigation into two produce companies involved in the contaminated spinach outbreak, federal agents are following a script first written a decade ago to hold companies responsible for mass food poisoning.
Federal officials do not think anyone deliberately contaminated the spinach with E. coli, which has killed two and sickened at least 190 others. Instead, the probe is focused on whether the companies took appropriate steps to make sure their products were safe to eat.

FBI and Food and Drug Administration agents spent 11 hours Wednesday searching Natural Selection Foods LLC and Growers Express, sifting through records for evidence indicating the spinach producers skirted proper food-handling procedures.
Also Thursday, health officials in Idaho confirmed that the death of a 2-year-old boy was caused by tainted spinach. Test results showed that Kyle Allgood was infected with the same E. coli strain that also killed an elderly Wisconsin woman.
Legal experts say the companies do not need to have known that their products were contaminated to be convicted of criminal charges, only negligent in their duties to keep tainted foods from the market.
Lawyers involved in previous food-poisoning cases said the government will likely try to charge the companies under the 1938 Federal Food Drug and Cosmetics Act, which makes it a crime to sell or distribute "adulterated" products — any item deemed unsafe for human or
Tests on spinach recalled from grocers point to nine spinach farms that supplied produce to Natural Selection, one of the nation's largest distributors of bagged salads. The company issued a statement Wednesday saying it was confident in the cleanliness of its plant and pointing the finger at growers.
"The result of prosecution under this statute is that you can be considered a criminal, and you may even go to jail, and it may simply be because you made a mistake, or one of your employees made a mistake," said Eric Greenberg, a law professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
animal consumption.
Companies involved in tainted food cases are not always prosecuted. In 1993, a major E. coli outbreak sickened about 700 people and killed four who ate undercooked Jack in the Box hamburgers. That outbreak led to tighter Agriculture Department safety standards for producers and the chain paid millions to victims' families to settle lawsuits.

jinebacker Eric Washington has been admitted to a Kansas City, Mo., hospital, an individual close to the team has confirmed.
St. Luke's Hospital staff said Washington

was in the intensive care unit.
The source, who asked not to be named, said that Washington was fine but had been taken to the hospital for "precautionary reasons."
"Eric is fine," the source said. "He's talking, laughing, walking. Eric is doing real good."
At his weekly press conference Tuesday, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said Washington had complained of weakness in his left leg earlier in the week. Mangino said at the time that he was told by doctors that it was nothing to be concerned about.
The source said he was unsure when Washington would be released.

Committee fans dislike kickoff time
Put Jennifer Denny in the group of those against the early homecoming kickoff Saturday against Texas A&M.
The 11 a.m. start, which was determined by Fox Sports Net, has created obstacles for tailgaters and Denny, the co-director of the Homecoming Steering Committee.
"It sucks," Denny said. "Wed rather it be later in the evening."
The Homecoming parade had to be moved from 10 a.m. to 9 a.m., which will cause Denny and her committee to be in a rush Saturday because of the early kickoff. They learned last year when the homecoming game against Missouri was at 3 p.m. that early kickoffs put a cramp in their style.

"It was just very, very rushed," Denny said. "Because after the parade is over, we calculate all the scores for the homecoming points throughout the week and we have to have that ready for halftime."

Q
Who will start at quarterback?
A
It appears it will be the third-straight game-time decision for coach Mark Mangino on his starting quarterback. He said throughout the week that freshman Kerry Meier continued to improve, but was still listed as "day-to-day". If Meier is ready to go this weekend, he'll have to show that he has no lingering side effects of the injury he suffered nearly a month ago.

Q
Can Kansas' defense stop Texas A&M's rushing attack?
A
The Aggies boast the Big 12 Conference's best rushing offense, averaging nearly 215 yards a game. Kansas has had one of the league's most dominating rushing defenses in the conference over the last two years, giving up less than 90 yards a game. Something has to give Saturday. Playing at home, the edge goes to Kansas' front seven shutting down A&M's run game.

Q
：
Jared Gab/KANSAN
Who will replace Eric Washington at linebacker?
A
After suffering a serious concussion against Nebraska, Washington will be out for at least a few weeks. Until he returns, it appears Mangino will split playing time at one of the outside linebacker spots between sophomore James Holt and freshman Arist Wright. Both saw playing time in Lincoln after Washington's injury.
Q:
Who will start in the secondary?
A:
In his first start of the season, freshman Anthony Webb was burned early and often by Nebraska's passing attack. He was replaced before the end of the first quarter by junior Blake Bueltel, who didn't fare much better. Mangino said following the game that Webb would keep his starting spot, but that could still change before kickoff.
Q:
Is this a must-win for Kansas?
A:
Kansas seemed to gain respect throughout the conference for its near-comeback victory against Nebraska. If the Jayhawks come out flat against a talented Aggies squad, they can kiss that momentum, and their home-game winning streak, goodbye. Anything short of a performance like
moment, and the game home winning steal, goodbye. A rhyting short or a pen the team put together in the second half last week may not be enough to get the victory.

Texas A&M capitalizes on rushing offense, red zone defense to crush foes
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Texas A&M hasn't done anything fancy to get to 4-1 this season. Instead, the Aggies have used their bulk to overpower opponents.
Their game plan looks like this: run the ball, complement the run with the pass, keep teams from scoring in the red zone, defend the pass and run the ball some more.
Behind 6-foot, 274-pound sophomore running back Jorvorskie Lane, the Aggies are leading the Big 12 Conference in rushing offense. Through five games, Texas A&M's 206 carries, 1,074 rushing yards, 5.2 yards per carry, 17 touchdowns and 214 rushing yards per game are all
tops in the conference.
Lane has accounted for nearly 30 percent of those yards and 11 of those touchdowns, having scored in half of Texas A&M's 20 quarters this season. Kansas sophomore cornerback Ajib Talib, who is nearly 100 pounds lighter than Lane, said he wouldn't be intimidated by Lane's size.
"I'm going to tackle him," Talib said. "I'm going to do what I do with any other running back – I'm going to tackle him."
The Aggies have another running quarterback in sophomore Stephen McGee. He's second on the team with 261 rushing yards. However, McGee has given Texas A&M consistency in its passing game that it didn't always have with Reggie McNeal.
This season, McGee's completion percentage is at nearly 65 percent, and he has six touchdown passes to just one interception. Last season, McNeal's completion percentage hovered around 50 percent, and he threw 16 touchdowns to nine interceptions.
As a team, Texas A&M is averaging more than 200 passing yards per game, making it one of eight schools in the nation to average more than 200 rushing and passing yards per game.
Junior defensive tackle Red Bryant anchors the Texas A&M defensive
line, weighing about 325 pounds. However, he's looking to improve upon his 13 tackles and one sack on the season.
Senior linebacker Justin Warren leads the Aggies with 38 tackles, but only six are solo and he has yet to force a turnover.
Texas A&M excels on defense by preventing offenses from scoring in the red zone. This season, the Aggies have kept offenses off the board on five of 11 red zone visits, which is best in the Big 12.
Conversely, Kansas is next-to-last in the conference in red zone scoring, doing so only 66.7 percent of the time. Nevertheless, Kansas junior receiver Marcus Henry didn't
Freshman cornereback Jordan Peterson had the coverage on the crucial play, but Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione said he still had faith in Peterson.

"Of all of our corners I still have no hesitation that he was the best
"Right now we're not changing anything going into the game," Henry said.
Texas A&M might be vulnerable from outside the red zone. With less than 30 seconds to play last week, Texas Tech connected on a 37-yard touchdown pass to steal the victory from Texas A&M.
one to be in that situation, and gosh, looking at yall's pictures and the film, he covered it pretty darn well," Franchione said.
Before giving up 392 passing yards to the Red Raiders, the Aggies had the sixth-best pass defense in the nation. if the Jayhawks' offense can't handle the Aggies' roadbacks up front, the Jayhawks may find it hard to move the ball and keep up with the Aggies' scoring machine, Jorvorske Lane.

Daniels expected more than an 80-82 record and the Rangers' sixth loss season in seven years. He saw the need for a change in leadership, a different kind of communicator in the dugout.

Showalter was 319-329 in four seasons with the Rangers, his third managerial job. Texas never finished above third place.

VOLLEYBALL
Kansas to continue road stretch at Oklahoma
BY DREW DAVISON
Historically, the Kansas volleyball team has had success against Oklahoma.
The lajawhaks have not lost to the Sooners since 2001.
The team hopes history will hold true when it travels to Norman, Okla., to take on the hot Sooners on Saturday at the Howard McClasland Field House.
Kansas (8-8, 1-6 Big 12 Conference) was swept Wednesday at No. 17 Missouri, while No. 25 Oklahoma (13-3, 5-1) swept Baylor at home, increasing its win streak to four.
"We need to keep looking forward to win," Jamie Mathewson, senior libero, said. "Every game someone can beat someone, so we need to keep our hopes up."
Oklahoma has a strong offensive front that Kansas will need to contain. The Sooners rank second in the Big 12 with a .253 hitting percentage. They rank third in kills, with an average of 16.09 per game.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said he talked with his team about everyone needing to do a better job individually.
"It's under their controi," he said.
Bechard said the team needed to limit the number of runs opponents were able to go on to get going in the right direction.
"Things like not tracking the hitter you are supposed to track."
"If you have a five-point swing in a volleyball match, you're taking yourself out of the game," he said.
Missouri had separate five- and six point unanswered runs Wednesday, which enabled it to sweep Kansas.
The Jayhawk defense will need to improve as well, especially against Sooner outside hitter Joanna Schmitt, who averages 4.31 kills per game.
Kansas outside hitter Jana Correa said the team had practiced well, but it has not transitioned to the games.
"We're working hard, trying our best," she said. "But it seems like in a game it doesn't work out the same way like it does in practice."
Kansas returns home next to face in-state rival Kansas State on Oct. 11.

TENNIS Jayhawks travel to Indiana to play in Hoosier Classic
The University of Kansas tennis team will take part in the Hoosier Classic today. The tournament will take place at the University of Indiana in Bloomington, Ind., and will last through Sunday afternoon.
This will be the second tournament for the Jayhawks so far this season. Earlier this season, the Jayhawks competed in the Deacon Classic tournament, where sophomore Yuliana Svistun won the championship in the Flight D bracket.
Svistun's first-place finish was the highest finish in the tournament that Kansas had all weekend.
In-state rival Kansas State is also scheduled to play in the tournament. This will be the first time this season that Kansas and Kansas State will be competing in the same tournament.

HOMECOMING (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Denny is not the only student who would like to see a later kickoff. Kyle Hake, Olathe freshman, usually tailgates before games; Saturday, he is choosing to head straight to the stadium instead of the grill.
"You know it's early when you have to set an alarm clock for a KU football game." Denny said.
If the game was not on TV, Jim Marchiony, University of Kansas associate athletics director, said the game would start later in the day to allow for Homecoming activities. However, the networks have the final say on the game time.
"If we had the best scenario, it would be on TV at 6 oclock at least until the middle of October," Marchiony said. "Because it seems from the feedback we've received, some majority of fans would prefer
it at 6."
Jimmy Humphrey, Fredonia sophomore, lives in Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house, 1111 W. 11th St., and is setting his alarm for 6:30 a.m. Saturday to welcome alumni and prepare to park cars in TKE's parking lot. Humphrey said he would have gone to the parade if the game was later in the day. Instead, he's heading to the stadium early to get good seats.
The parade, which features former voice of the Jayhawks Max Falkenstien as the grand marshal, should last about an hour, Denny said, and should leave enough time for fans to make it to kickoff.

WASHINGTON (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
The source said he had no reason to believe Washington had suffered any recurrence of the temporary paralysis he suffered after a hit in last week's game against Nebraska.
Repeated attempts to reach Washington's mother, Linda Hobbs, at her home in Detroit, were unsuccessful.
Mason Logan, associate media relations director, said he couldn't confirm or deny that Washington had been admitted to the hospital
It is Kansas football policy not to comment on injuries.
Washington was injured in the third quarter of last weekend's game at Nebraska. He attempted a head-first tackle, bounced off a Nebraska running back and fell to the ground.
Teammate Joe Mortensen said he knew something was wrong after the hit.
"I tried to pick him up and he went limp," Mortensen said at the game.
Team trainers attended to Washington as he remained on the turf for nearly 15 minutes.
Washington was taken off the field on a stretcher and transported to a Lincoln hospital. Washington had no feeling in his extremities while on the ground, but his feeling had returned as he was transported to the hospital.
Washington suffered a concussion and temporary paralysis, Mangino said after the game. He was kept at a Lincoln hospital until Monday morning.
Mangino said Tuesday that Washington would visit a doctor who specializes in head- and neck-sports injuries. He said Sunday night that Washington might play again this season.
Washington came to Kansas as a junior last season. He spent his first two seasons of his eligibility at the University of Minnesota and Minnesota West Community College.

SOCCER
Jayhawks to play Longhorns, Aggies
BY MARK DENT
It's been almost 11 months now, but the bitter feelings remain.
Kansas players gathered together last November during the NCAA Tournament selection show confident of receiving a bid, but were turned down, while Texas was surprisingly chosen for postseason play.
"When you're sitting in a room with your team waiting to hear your name called and don't," Kansas coach Mark Francis said, "That's motivation."
24
The Jayhawks finally have their chance to get even with the Longhorns when the two teams play at 4 p.m. today at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
The animosity Kansas feels toward Texas isn't just sour grapes over the Longhorns being selected for the dance and the Jayhawks being left home. It comes from knowing that they not only finished with a better record and higher ranking in the Big 12, but also beat the Longhorns in their head-to-head matchup last season.
The victory over Texas last year was the first in Kansas soccer history, and was one of the most memorable moments of the season for the
Jayhawks. The Jayhawks went on to finish second in the conference with an 11-7-2 record while the Longhorns went 11-9-1 and placed sixth.
"Since they got in the tournament last year and we didn't, there's a little extra confidence that we can beat them," sophomore goalkeeper Julie Hanley said. "It'll be good to play them."
Kansan file photo
This season, Texas (8-3-1, 2-1-1) returns 10 starters and is the No. 18 team in the country. The Longhorns are tied for second in the conference in goals scored per game, but they are coming off a bad weekend that included a loss to Oklahoma State and a tie against Oklahoma, a team that has yet to win a conference game.
Michelle Rasmussen, senior midfielder, and the Jayhawk soccer team take on Texas at 4 p.m. today and Texas A&M at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. This weekend's games could be key in determining positioning for the Big 12 tournament at the end of the season.
Kansas faces Texas on the heels of one of its best performances of the season, according to Francis. The Jayhawks only beat the Cornhuskers 1-0 Sunday, but Francis said the offense created more opportunities than it had in the last two weeks.
The Jayhawks lead the conference in shutouts and have allowed the least amount of goals compared to the other Big 12 teams.
Kansas' stingy defense will be key in its second match of the weekend against No. 8 Texas A&M on Sunday at 1 p.m. The Aggies (8-3-1, 4-0)
won the Big 12 regular season and tournament championships last year. The Jayhawks have only defeated the Aggies once.
"These are two of the toughest teams in the conference," Francis said. "I'm just glad we're playing
them at home."

FOOTBALL
Aggies tough test for Jayhawk defense
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
something has to give on Saturday
Kansas' defense has had little trouble stopping running backs this season. But that could change come Saturday.
In its first four games, Kansas has faced teams that have thrown the ball on more than 50 percent of their plays. This weekend, though, the Jayhawks will take on this season's first rushing opponent.
This season, Texas & A&M has run the ball an average of 41 times a game for 214 yards. That's an average of 5.2 yards a carry. With Kansas' defense giving up less than 90 yards a game,
"We will definitely hunker down so that he does not get too many rushing yards," sophomore defensive lineman John Larson said.
A&M's rushing attack is led by its running back, Jorvorskie Lane, who stands at 6-foot, 274 pounds. By comparison, Kansas' Jon Cornish is listed at 6 feet, 204 pounds. This season, Lane is averaging 60 yards a game on 12 carries.
Lane is not known as a back that can rush for big yardage. Instead, he's used more in short yardage and goal line situations. Already this season, Lane leads the Big 12 Conference
with 11 touchdowns in five games.
Kansas' defense hasn't allowed 100-yard rusher in nearly two seasons. The last back to rush for more than 100 yards was Texas' Cedric Benson in 2004, who rushed for 161 yards.
The key for Kansas during that stretch has been getting good pressure up the middle by the defensive line and linebackers.
"We've played downhill as linebackers," Mangino said. "We're jumping gaps and getting up field on the defensive line."
The defensive front's success comes as a surprise, considering Kansas returned just one starter.
Nearly all of the new starters this season saw some time last year, but not significant time.
Senior linebacker Eric Washington left the game on a stretcher last weekend because of a concussion and is expected to miss at least two games. Mangino said Washington's outside linebacker spot would be filled by either sophomore James Holt or freshman Arist Wright.

San Diego continues postseason woes
Cardinals
50
Associated Press
St. Louis Cardinals closer Adam Wainwright throws to the San Diego Padres during the ninth inning in Game 2 of their National League Division Series baseball game Thursday in San Diego.
BY BERNIE WILSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
The crowd booed after Cardinals rookie closer Adam Wainright retired the side in the ninth.
"Right now, I mean it's about as flat as it can get," said the 43-year-old Wells, who plans to retire when the season ends.
Well, history suggests the best-five series will end Saturday in St. Louis, unless the popgun Padres can find their missing bats. The Padres are hitting an embarrassing .164 in the series, getting just 10 hits and one run so far, while striking out 20 times. They're 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position, and have stranded 13.
"We've got to get on the board, score some runs," said San Diego native David Wells, who may have pitched his final big league game. "I think one run in two games isn't going to cut it. This continues, then you know that's the end of it.
"I just wanted to stay away from the extra-base hits and things of that nature, and was able to throw a lot of quality breaking balls to keep these guys off-balance," said Weaver, who dodged jams in the first and fifth innings.
Aware that the Padres liked fastballs, Weaver didn't throw very many. San Diego leadoff batter Dave Roberts estimated that more than 50 percent of Weaver's pitches were curveballs.
Weaver gave up two singles in five innings, allowing only two Padres baserunners as far as second base. He struck out three and walked three.
And to think Weaver struggled so badly with the Angels this year, going 3-10, that he was traded to make room in their rotation for his younger brother, Jered. But he earned this start by going 4-1 with a 4.03 ERA in eight road starts with St. Louis.
SAN DIEGO — Getting out of September intact was the hard part for the St. Louis Cardinals, who clinched a division title while stuck in reverse.
Relievers Randy Flores, Josh
Cardinals drop Padres for ninth straight loss in playoffs
St. Louis, which barely avoided one of the biggest September collapses ever, improved to 8-0 in the postseason against San Diego. That includes division series sweeps last year and in 1996.
Kinney, Tyler Johnson and Wainwright pitched four innings of two-hit ball. Wainwright got the last four outs for the save.
Saturday's Homecoming Events:
And the San Diego Padres? Well, after coming into the playoffs with all the confidence in the world — and rare home-field advantage — they may not make it through the weekend.
"It's very big because coming into these playoffs we didn't really know what to expect," Cardinals shortstop David Eckstein said.
Pancake Breakfast
The Padres appear to be headed for their same of postseason fate against the Cardinals, who won 2-0 on Thursday behind Albert Pujols and reclamation project Jeff Weaver to take a 2-0 lead in the NL division series.
Wells lost his third straight postseason start, allowing two runs and seven hits in five innings. He struck out two and walked none. Overall, the hefty lefty is 10-5 in the postseason.
Where: Stauffer-Flint Front Lawn When: 8:00 a.m. How much: $5.00
Weaver and four relievers, three of whom are rookies, combined on a four-hitter. Making his second career postseason start, Weaver outpitched Wells, who was making his 17th postseason start and 27th appearance dating to 1989.
The Padres obtained Wells from the Boston Red Sox on Aug. 31, mostly because of his history of postseason success, which included World Series championships with Toronto in 1992 and the Yankees in 1998, when he beat San Diego in Game 1.
The Padres haven't led in a postseason game since being up 3-2 against the Yankees after seven innings of Game 3 of the '98 Series. Scott Brosius stunned the Padres with a three-run homer off Trevor Hoffman in the eighth inning — his second shot of the night — and the Yankees won 5-4.
Padres rookie Josh Barfield doubled off Wainwright with two outs in the eighth before Adrian Gonzalez grounded to second.
San Diego hadn't lost consecutive games in almost a month.
Annual Parade
"We battled our tails off through September to get here," said Geoff Blum, who's filled in for injured shortstop Khalil Greene. "Hopefully, there are some remnants of that floating around and we'll return to some of the magic in St. Louis."
So why have San Diego's bats gone AWOL?
Where: Jayhawk Blvd.
When: 9:00 a.m.
"It's one of those things where we struggle at home offensively," Brian Giles said. "There's no sugarcoating it. I wish we had an explanation. We don't."
Pujols had three more hits after homering in the 5-1 victory in Game 1. He and Jim Edmonds hit RBI singles off Wells in the fourth inning.
About the only thing the Padres have going now is that they were 45-36 on the road, including winning two of three at St. Louis last week.
Football Game
"I think it's a huge step in the right direction to come into somebody else's park and win the first two, especially in the short series," said Weaver, who used his curveball to baffle a lefty-dominated Padres lineup. "We're looking forward to getting back home and trying to make the series as short as possible."

Detroit evens playoff series Speedy pitching leads Tigers to victory against Yankees
BY RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Justin Verlander overpowered Alex Rodriguez with 100 mph heat. Joel Zumaya topped that, his fastball whizzing by at 102.
The New York Yankees never saw what was coming, and the Detroit Tigers headed home with a split.
Verlander and Detroit's bullpen held down New York's mighty offense, Curtis Granderson's go-ahead triple off Mike Mussina capped a comeback, and Detroit beat the Yankees 4-3 Thursday to leave them tied at one game apiece in their best-of-five AL playoff series.
"There's a lot of people doubting us," Zumaya said. "A lot of people don't expect the Tigers to come out and play as good as we did. We have to prove ourselves and, obviously, we
proved it a little bit today."
Verlander, like Zumaya one of Detroit's rookie sensations, pitched in and out of trouble for 5 2-3 innings, allowing seven hits and four walks. He gave his only runs on Johnny Damon's fourth-inning homer, which put New York ahead 3-1.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland then made the unusual move to pull him with a runner on, one out and a 1-1 count on Robinson Cano. Jamie Walker came in, threw two balls, and induced an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play.
It was that type of up-and-down day for the wild-card Tigers, who ended a six-game losing streak that cost them the AL Central title last weekend.
"I just didn't like the fastball before that it was 92." Leyland said.
"I just said, 'This is it. I'm going to make my move now. I know there's a count on the hitter, but I'm going to make it right now.' Just all of a sudden, your instincts take over and say, 'Look, this is just not right."
Those type of against-the-book moves helped Leyland turn around the Tigers in his first year as manager, stopping Detroit's streak of losing seasons at 12.
"He's a feel guy," Yankees manager joe Torre said.
Walker, Zumaya and Todd Jones combined for one-hit relief, making New York's modern-day Murders' Row resembled overmatched kids. Jones pitched the ninth for the save, giving up a leadoff single to Hidekid Matsui. A soft tosser when compared to his hard-throwing 'pen mates. Jones then retired the next three batters.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 6, 2006
FRIDAY,OCTOBER 6,2006
KU KICKOFF
ATAGLANCE
After dropping another road game in overtime, Kansas returns to Memorial Stadium for its home Big 12 Conference opener. The Jayhawks haven't won a game against a South Division team since 2003. If Kansas wants to have a chance in its Homecoming game, it must get an early lead. Because Texas A&M likes to run the football and use up the clock, Kansas' offense will get fewer possessions. If A&M's running backs are successful, and Kansas gets off to a slow start like it did last week in Nebraska, this game could be over very quickly.
5 QUICK FACTS
9 - consecutive home wins at Memorial Stadium, a school-record
4 - consecutive Kansas games on television
15 - Kansas' average margin of victory at home during its nine-game winning streak.
1 - Kansas' number of all-time wins against A&M
2- the number of players, Brian Murph and Dexton Fields, that had at least 100 yards receiving against Nebraska
PLAYER TO WATCH
James McClinton. The junior defensive lineman recorded a
McClinton
McClinton
career-high seven tackles, including four solo tackles, last week against Nebraska. Against a Texas A&M team that runs the
football nearly 41 times a game, it'll be important for McClinton to get adequate pressure up the middle to stuff the run. McClinton has been among the leaders of the defensive line, which hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher since the end of the 2004 season.
QUESTION MARK
SECONDARY - Kansas' secondary was burned early and often in last week's overtime loss at Nebraska. The Cornhuskers had three touchdown passes of 75 yards or more. The secondary seemed to be improving since a horrific outing against Louisiana-Monroe, but last week's game showed that Mangino's young secondary has some work left to do. They won't be tested much this week by Aggies quarterback Stephen McGee, but when they are, the Jayhawks can't afford to keep giving up the big play.
GAME GAME OF FIELD POSITION Kickers may make the difference
GAME
DAY
KANSAS VS. TEXAS A&M 11 a.m., Saturday, Memorial Stadium, FSN
Kansas
Offense
Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier has been medically cleared to play Saturday, but that doesn't mean a thing. Instead, Meier must show Mangino that he's ready to be handed the offense once again. Minus a terrible first quarter, Kansas' offense played its best game of the season against Nebraksa. If Meier does return this week, you have to wonder how much of an adjustment period there will be back to Meier's run-pass option. The safe bet would be to start Barmann another week to keep the offense's momentum going.
KU KU KU
Texas A&M
Offense
Kansas will face the best rushing attack it has seen all season on Saturday. The Aggies lead the Big 12 Conference in rushing, averaging nearly 215 yards a game. Aside from its two running backs, Jovorskie Lane and Courtney Lewis, A&M quarterback Stephen McGee also rushes the ball for more than 50 yards a game. The game will likely be decided by Kansas' front seven and their ability to stop the run.
Defense
ATMATMA
There's no secret to Texas A&M's recipe for success on offense. The Aggies lead the Big 12 in rushing at a clip of 214.8 yards per game and they're doing it by committee. Sophomore running back Jorvorskie Lane leads the team with 301 yards and 11 touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Stephen McGee isn't far behind with 261 rushing yards and a touchdown. Freshman Mike Goodson and senior Courtney Lewis have combined for 337 rushing yards and two touchdowns. McGee has also been an effective passer, completing 64.5 percent of his passes for 923 yards and six touchdowns. Senior Chad Schroeder has been his most reliable receiver, averaging 20.1 yards per catch and hauling in three touchdowns.
Defense
Texas A&M is toward the bottom of the Big 12 against the run, allowing more than 100 yards per game, but that's partially because it has been so successful in its pass defense. Before playing pass-happy Texas Tech last week, Texas A&M was
KU KU 39 the Big
sixth in the nation in pass defense. The Aggies
Momentum
While the defense has bent, it rarely breaks. The Aggies are first in the Big 12 in red zone defense. Senior Justin Warren is ninth among conference linebackers, averaging 7.6 tackles per game. While he has 38 tackles on the season, only six have been solo. Junior defensive end Chris Harrington is sixth in 12 with 3.5 tackles
Chris Harrington is sixth in the 1.2 Big with 3.5acks this season.
KU KU
Kansas played well enough for most of the game last week to get the victory against Nebraska, but mistakes plauged the team all night long. In its first five games, Kansas has turned the ball over 15 times. Mangino has made forcing turnovers an emphasis this season, but if his team doesn't stop committing turnovers, they will be in trouble. The first quarter against Nebraska showed that if Kansas turns the ball over against a quality opponent, the Jayhawks will pay.
ATMAT
— Ryan Schneider
Momentum
Texas A&M can win the field battle with its special teams.
Sophomore punter Justin Brantly is averaging 49.5 yards per punt, which would lead the nation by more than two yards if he had enough attempts to qualify. The Aggies are also first in the nation in kickoff return average, and Junior Kerry Franks returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown last week against Texas Tech. This game will have a little added Importance for coach Dennis Franchione, who was born in Girard and raised in Cherokee. Saturday will be his first game at Memorial Stadium as a head coach.

A&M KICKOFF
ATAGLANCE
Texas A&M is coming off a heartbreaking, conference-opening 31-27 loss to Texas Tech last week. However, the Aggles haven't lost back-to-back games to begin their conference schedule since 1995. Although Texas A&M played Army at a neutral stadium three weeks ago, Saturday will be the Aggies' first road game. Texas A&M hasn't played its first road game of the season this late since 1984. The only time Kansas native Dennis Franchione faced Kansas as head coach, his Aggles defeated the Jayhawks 45-33 at home in 2003.
5 QUICK FACTS
8 - offenses in the country, including Texas A&M, that are averaging 200 passing and 200 rushing yards per game
13. 2 - points per game running back Jorvorskie Lane has averaged entering Saturday's game
26 - seconds remaining in last week's game when Texas Tech scored its game-winning touchdown
36. 8 - average yards per kick return for junior Kerry Franks, which is tops in the conference
54. 5 - percent of the time Texas A&M has allowed opponents to score in the red zone, which is best in the Big 12 by 12.2 percent
PLAYER TO WATCH

ALEXANDER
McGee
Gee showed potential,but completed just 45.3 percent of his passes,had a 98.8 passing efficiency and two touchdowns
to one interception. This season his completion percentage is up to 64.5. McGee is also a threat to run the ball, with the second most rushing yards on the team. However, he has yet to play a game outside of Texas this season.
QUESTION MARKS
STEPHEN MCGEE - McGee suffered a slight concussion in the second quarter of the Texas Tech game, but played through it. He's been cleared to play, but how will he handle the first hit he takes Saturday?
TIME OF POSSESSION - Texas A&M is tied for second in the Big 12 in time of possession, trailing Kansas by 13 seconds per game. Can the Aggies control the ball like they have all season?

No. 7 Texas (4-1) vs. No. 14 Oklahoma (3-1) in Dallas,
Saturday 2:30 p.m, on ABC
Last year Texas rode Heisman hopeful Vince Young to its first victory over Oklahoma since 1999. This year, Oklahoma hopes its Heisman hopeful, running back Adrian Peterson, will get it back on the winning track against the burnt-orange rivals.
Young is gone at quarterback for Texas, but freshman Colt McCoy has played well so far this season, completing 71.1 percent of his passes for 846 yards, 10 touchdowns and just two interceptions. However, he will need to improve upon his last performance against a ranked opponent. Against Ohio State, McCoy completed 59.3 percent of his passes for 154 yards, one touchdown, and one pick.

No. 23 Missouri (5-0) at Texas Tech (4-1), Saturday 6 p.m.on TBS
This match-up will prove pivotal for a pair of teams with hopes of playing in the Big 12 Championship game. Missouri leads the all-time series 3-2, but Saturday will mark Texas Tech's homecoming. The Red Raiders have won 10 of their last 14 homecoming games, including a 52-38 victory against Missouri in 2002.
Texas Tech is king of the Big 12 when it comes to passing offense, but Missouri is one of two conference teams that have more total yards of offense per game than the Red Raiders. Quarterback Chase Daniel is a huge reason why. He's averaging 254.6 passing yards per game and is second on the team with 130 rushing yards.
Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell and receivers Robert Johnson and Joel Filani have given defenses headaches this season. Harrell and Johnson connected for the game-winning touchdown last week against Texas A&M.
N IOWA STATE
BASKETBALL
p.m. on ABC
No. 22 Nebraska (4-1) at Iowa State (3-2), Saturday 7 n.m. on ABC
Both teams are coming off home victories last week, but neither came easily. Kansas took Nebraska to overtime after trailing by as much as 17 points. Sandwiched between games against Texas and Nebraska, Northern Iowa was supposed to give Iowa State a break. Instead, the Cyclones escaped with a 28-27 victory.
Nebraska will likely try to pound Iowa State with its running game. The Cornhuskers are tied for second in the Big 12 in time of possession and the Cyclones are 10th in the conference in rushing defense. No matter what Nebraska does, it should have no problem reaching the end zone. The Huskers are first in the conference in scoring, and the Cyclones have the worst scoring defense in the Big 12.
2017
LEBRON 9
As usual, Iowa State will depend on quarterback Bret Meyer Saturday. He has scored 66 of the teams' 120 points this season and has accounted for 75 percent of the Cyclone's total yards of offense.
It was a loss reminiscent of previous games as Kansas lost to Texas A&M 21-18 on Saturday. 1B

CRIME
Cyclists can register base
Registry returns lost bikes
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
since Aug. 6, there have been 21 reported bicycle thefts on campus, according to the archived daily crime logs for the KU Public Safety Office.
The online National Bike Registry estimates 1.5 million bikes are stolen each year. Of those, 48 percent are recovered but only 5 percent are returned because many bikes are not registered.
The National Bike Registry, www.nationalbikeregistry.com, offers a service in which bike owners can register their bike's serial number with a national database for a fee. A special NBR label is then placed on the bike for identification if it is recovered. Any law enforcement agency can become a
member for free and return recovered bikes to their owners.
Users sign up for the service by paying a one-time fee of $10 for 10 years or $25 for 30 years of coverage. Families can also pay $25 to register up to five bikes at one address for 10 years.
When law enforcement agencies become members of the service in addition to being able to access the database at any time, they are provided with free registration materials for people wishing to sign up and posters and decals to display in their stat
The NBR also offers law enforcement agencies a way to generate revenue by selling the labels above the wholesale price of $3.50 per label. If the law enforcement agency doesn't wants to make money,
but still want to offer the service, it can sell the labels at the wholesale price, Mariya Grigorova, NBR spokeswoman, said.
Neither the KU Public Safety Office nor the Lawrence Police Department subscribe to this service. Each department can still access the database if a bike with a NBR label is recovered, but because they're not members, they don't have access to the resources to let KU students and Lawrence residents know about the service.
The Lawrence police and KU Public Safety Office don't keep specific statistics on bike thefts, but include bike theft in general theft numbers.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office wasn't familiar with the NBR or the national
database and couldn't say if it was something the University of Kansas would be interested in.
"I would want to research it before committing one way or another to it." Bailey said.
Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence police was aware of the service and knew his department could access the database if a bike with a NBR label was recovered, and said that was the main reason they didn't subscribe to the service.
He added that as a law enforcement agency, the Lawrence police could not "advocate for a profit organization."
Ward said that the Lawrence police offered its own bike recovery service.

Prize given for work boosting community

Lauren Pierson and Scott Ferguson were selected from more than 35 applicants as Ex.C.E.L. Award winners during halftime of the football game on Saturday.
Lauren Pierson, center, receives applause after being named the female Ex.C.E.L. winner during halftime at Saturday's football game at Memorial Stadium.
The Ex.C.E.L., or Excellence in Community and Leadership, awards are given annually during Homecoming to honor two outstanding senior students who have demonstrated achievement in the areas of community service, education and leadership.
Applicants were required to have an overall grade-point average of 3.0 or higher. They were nominated by faculty members, organizations and fellow students, and then completed an application process.
Pierson, Prairie Village senior, doesn't know who nominated her for the award, but said that the experience was exciting.

"I was very flattered that someone would think of me for this award," she said. "All of the finalists have been amazing leaders throughout campus, and it was an honor to be among the finalists."
A selection committee with members from Student Union Activities, the Board of Class Officers and the Homecoming steering committee, selected 10 finalists from the applicants to participate in an interview. They then chose a male and a female winner.

Mangino has also helped pave the way for the new facility. He said he's been quietly lobbying for a football facility since after the 2002 season when he went on the road to convince boosters and alumni of the need for a new facility.

cent from a new age
"We're pretty pleased" he said.
Enrollment for foreign students at the University of Kansas is on the rise this year after decreasing at the University and across the nation in recent years.
According to a study called Open Doors 2005, released by the Institute of International Education, enrollment of foreign students decreased by 1.3 percent in the 2004-2005 school year. The previous year enrollment decreased by 2.4 percent.
JoePotts,directorofInternational Student and Scholar Services, said enrollment at the University had increased a little more than 5 percent from a year ago.
Potts said enrollment decreased after Sept. 11, 2001, in part because increased security measures made getting visas tougher and more expensive.
Additionally, other countries are now competing more aggressively for international students. Potts estimated that before Sept. 11 one-third of all international students were studying in the United States.

Though members of the club can choose whether to compete or not, the opportunities for those interested in racing are vast. Five collegiate mountain-bike races are held in the fall and five road races will be in the spring. Various schools compete in races with KU, mostly from Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota, according to Kalbac.
The goal for racers in the club is to compete in USA Cycling's National Collegiate Road Championships held in May of each year. The club has hosted the championships in Lawrence for the past two years and plans to host the event in 2007 as well.
Kalbac, who competed in the championships last spring, admitted that although she had rode bikes before, it was only one year ago that she became serious about cycling. New and experienced riders alike should not feel intimidated to get involved.

World record broken for kissing poisonous snakes
PATTAYA, Thailand — A Thai snake charmer kissed 19 poisonous king cobras in an attempt to set a world record.
One by one, the cobras were released Saturday onto a stage set up in this Thai beach resort town, as the snake charmer, Khum Chaibuddee, kissed each one and then moved onto the next.
Security was tight, with four additional snake charmers flanking the stage at each corner
and a medical team waiting on the sidelines with serum in case one of the snakes snapped, according to a statement from Thailand's Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum in Pattaya, which organized the event.
The museum's manager, Somporn Naksuetrong, said Ripley's planned to submit the attempt to the Guinness Book of World Records to overtake a previous record set in 1999 when an American kissed 11 venomous snakes.

Groups pool funds for home
House That Greeks Built, Habitat team up for new project
BY MATT ELDER
Members of the KU greek community raised more than $3,000 dollars for Habitat for Humanity during Homecoming weekend.
Alumni, students and members of the Lawrence community all contributed funds during a silent auction Saturday at the football game, held by the student organization The House That Greeks Built. The group plans to begin building a house sometime this November.
"This is the closest thing the greek community has found for a large fundraiser," said Danae DeShazer, vice president of community service and philanthropy for the Panhellenic Association. "It's been our biggest effort."
In the past, the organization has built three houses from funds raised exclusively by the greek community, but this year the organization will combine the $3,000 it raised with the KU Habitat for Humanity's fundraising dollars. Deshazer said that after Hurricane Katrina, the cost of building materials have increased, forcing the Greek community to look for help with fundraising.
"We didn't want to wait long enough to say 'this is a house that greets built,' Deshazer said. "We really need to focus on what we're raising money for: a family in need."
The House That Greeks Built organization has raised more than $30,000 since completing its last house three years ago. Once funds have been combined with the KU Habitat for Humanity chapter, the groups will begin construction.
Laura Bauer, program director for fraternity and sorority life, said that The House that Greeks Built
philanthropy is the largest conglomerate of all the KU chapters' combined efforts. Bauer said that the University was one of the first college campuses to become involved with the Habitat for Humanity project and that it has gained momentum since.
"We have 40 fraternities and sororities," Bauer said. "Whether they are involved with fundraising or building, all the chapters get involved."
The organization also has done fundraisers for students, like selling the "Our basketball team is better than yours" shirts at the KU bookstores.

ROTC members win awards at Homecoming
BY NATE MCGINNIS
KU Army ROTC awarded four current students scholarships and inducted five alumni into the hall of fame at the second annual alumni Homecoming celebration Saturday morning.
Michelle Davis, Lester, Iowa, graduate student, Kris Johnson, Basehor junior, John Irvine, Leavenworth sophomore and Abraham Bailin, Chicago freshman, each received a $250 scholarship from the Jayhawk Battalion Alumni Association, IBAA.
"This is one of the primary functions of our JBAA — to support
cadets" said David Pendleton, 1981 graduate and president of JBAA.
Pendleton said the scholarships were funded by members of the JBAA. The group funded similar scholarships last year and would try to provide four scholarships each year, Pendleton said.
Davis served in the Army for eight years as an enlisted soldier and wanted to enhance her career opportunities by becoming an officer.
"It's more based off what type of jobs I wanted to do and what type of leader I wanted to be." Davis said.
Davis said she was surprised when she found out she had won the
scholarship because she thought the senior clas had many good cadets to choose from.
Richard Burke, 1965 graduate, Stephen Ferrell, 1974 graduate, William Jenks, 1975 graduate and Allison Mirakian, 1980 graduate, received certificates inducting them into the hall of fame. John Lungstrum, 1970 graduate, was also inducted but not present. Induction is based on military and civilian career accomplishments.
"When I look at these young cadets right here, I know I picked the right career because I'd trade places with any one of them," Jenks said after accepting his certificate.
This is only the second year alumni have been inducted into the hall of fame. Six alumni were inducted last year, including 1967 graduate U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas).
Lt. Col. William Maxcy, KU Army ROTC battalion commander, said the purpose of the event was to honor individuals, foster a sense of tradition and to garner support for the Jayhawk Battalion.

Award-winning writer advocates tax reform
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Vanessa Pearson/KANSAN
David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times journalist, speaks Sunday at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Johnston also wrote a book entitled "Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Beneft the Rich — and Cheat Everybody Else." He spoke about how ancient civilizations paid taxes according to how much they earned and enjoyed in society and how America's system benefits the extremely wealthy. The book is read in some School of Business classes.
The United States needs to change its tax system, David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist for the New York Times, told students Sunday night at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Today's tax system sets up unrealistic hurdles, discourages investment, ships work overseas and oppresses low income wage earners, Johnston said.
Johnston has reported on tricks, loopholes, evasions and flaws of the federal income tax system in a way that ordinary citizens can understand, said Raquel Alexander, assistant business professor. Johnston won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for his reporting on inequities in the federal income tax system.
Johnston said our tax system should be based on a progressive tax. Those who have more should pay more to the society that allowed them to achieve what they have, he said.
Throughout history, Johnston said that progressive tax has been
the mark of a free society. Societies that violated the progressive tax system have been plagued by dictatorships and oppressive rule, Johnston said.
Johnston said the United States
has not mastered this system.
"The state uses taxes to oppress people" he said.
In January of 1969, newspapers reported that 155 rich American families paid no income tax. Johnston said Congress got more letters about those rich families than it did about the war in Vietnam.
Since then, politicians have tried to reduce tax burdens. A tax reform act passed in 1986 lowered taxes to 70 percent when John F. Kennedy was president and 50 percent during Ronald Reagan's term.
However, a progressive tax system in which people are taxed according to their ability to pay does not fully exist in American society today, Johnston said.
In 2000, the poor were more likely to be audited than the rich. Johnston described the inequality as squeezing the blood from a turnip. President Bush has said he is a proponent of progressive tax, and made plans to reduce taxes a platform of his political campaign. However, he
"In America today, if you get seriously ill, we raise your taxes and we earmark that money specifically to finance the tax cuts of the richest people in America," Johnston said.
People who make half a million dollars annually pay the same tax rate as those who make $178 million.
Johnston said the IRS reported collecting 99 percent of data for wage earners, but only 70 percent of data for businessmen, landlords and investors, making it easier for them to evade the tax system.
Johnston encouraged his audience to take responsibility.
"What kind of tax system we have will determine what kind of world we live in," he said. "We determine what kind of tax system we have by who we elect."

New technology saves energy Homes outfitted to be more efficient, eco-friendly
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The North's official Korean Central News Agency said the underground test was performed successfully and there was no radioactive leakage from the site.
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
U. S. and South Korean officials could not immediately confirm the report.
Six Douglas County homeowners showed off their energy-saving devices and strategies Sunday during the Douglas County Energy Conservation Fair and Sustainable Homes Tour.
He suggested students look at the cost of utilities before renting or buying a home because bills can be unpredictable on a fixed budget. Compact fluorescent lights, which use 66 percent less energy and last six to 10 times longer, would be a good investment because they are less expensive and compatible with most homes now, he said.
South Korean intelligence officials said a seismic wave of magnitude-3.58 had been detected in North Hamkyung province, according to Yonhap. It said the test was conducted at 8:36 p.m. CST Sunday in Hwaderi near Kilju city on the northeast coast, citing defense officials.
Several of the candidates and elected officials made comments after Cromwell's tour.
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said Sunday it has performed its first-ever nuclear weapons test.
Aron Cromwell, CEO of Cromwell Environmental, and his wife, Hannah Cromwell, opened their doors a week ago for 12 elected officials and candidates to view their energy-efficient house. The home, 1616 New Hampshire St., was built in 1911, but was recently refitted with energy-saving technology worth $25,000. The amount of money saved in the end outweighs the initial cost, he said.
INTERNATIONAL
Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence) said students are more energy conscious than in past years. Even when renting, students can insulate their doors and windows so they aren't wasting energy and money, she said.
"It's not costing me anything" he said. "It's a slam dunk."
She said when students start looking for a home to own, they should use solar energy in one room to see if they are happy with it before branching out.
North Korea completes 'successful' nuclear test
North Korean scientists "successfully conducted an underground nuclear test under secure conditions," the KCNA report said, adding this was "a stirring time when all the people of the country are making a great leap forward in the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation."
"It's not a one size fits all," she said. "Everyone can do their part to save the Earth."
When his family moves into the home in a few weeks, the solar thermal heating system will save them 50 to 60 percent of gas and electric energy use.
Cromwell said 90 percent of homes are capable of being retrofitted with projects like his but recognized everyone is constrained to a budget. He said the question to ask is, "How much can you cut down on energy?"
Several other features were installed such as expandable foam insulation, new windows and compact fluorescent lights. Four containers on the roof collect hot water and pump it downstairs to four 80-gallon tanks that store the equivalent of two days heated water, Cromwell said. He also plans to install solar energy panels soon.
Cromwell said the payback is instantaneous because he gained instant equity on the home and savings on energy bills. For every dollar spent on energy-saving projects, the property value goes up $20, he said. The solar thermal heating project is the most economical and will last 20 to 30 years, he said.
Part of his project is a state-of-the-art Web monitoring system that measures the energy usage in his home, allowing him and others to see how much energy he is actually saving. It's the only house in the country right now with the system.
The director of South Korea's monitoring center that is watching for a test with sound and seismic detectors declined to immediately comment on the reported test.
Kansan staff writer Erin Castaneda can be contacted at ecastaneda@kansan.com.
"We don't know whether it is a nuclear test or not," an official at the earthquake center at the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources said on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitive nature of the issue.

The U.S. Geological Survey said it had detected no seismic activity in North Korea, although it was not clear whether a blast would be strong enough for its sensors.
The North said last week it would conduct a test, sparking regional concern and frantic diplomatic efforts aimed at dissuading Pyongyang from such a move. North Korea has long claimed to have nuclear weapons, but had never before performed a known test to prove its arsenal.

Policy hurts grad students
Imagine having a policy that dictated the process in selecting faculty for the last 37 years and then, while your back is turned, you return to find a completely different policy. No one communicated the change and no one asked for your opinion.
That's what graduate students went through this semester when Provost Richard Lariviere clarified that a revision to selecting and finding faculty would not include graduate students' votes. It is debatable as to whether graduate students should have a say in faculty hiring, but what's not acceptable is the provost not discussing the matter in a public forum with graduate students.
Certainly, there are departments that don't allow graduate student to provide input, but for those that did this is just another issue that continues to linger between the University and its graduate students.
Graduate students have the right to be upset by the decision. How would you like a decision that directly affects you without your input? Graduate students went from having a vote in faculty hiring to being relegated to "having input."
The importance that was once placed on the votes of graduate students no longer has merit in terms of the revised policy.
The provost said graduate students should still have input in faculty hiring. It's just too bad he didn't feel the same way when changing the policy.
University officials have already demonstrated their lack of respect for graduate students and graduate teaching assistants. The recent policy, coupled with the ongoing negotiations with the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition, have shown little respect for graduate students.
This move will definitely require some public relations strategy because it wasn't the brightest move. A word of advice as you continue to move forward in the school year: Include students in your decision making when they revolve around the issue.
Louis Mora for the editorial board.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Register to impact state AG race
University of Kansas students have the ability to make a huge difference in the upcoming midterm elections this November. One of the most talked about campaigns is for state attorney general, which pits incumbent Republican Phill Kline against Democrat Paul Morrison.
The role of a state attorney general is to be the chief of law enforcement for Kansas. Rather than protecting Kansas citizens, Kline has spent his time in office pursuing his narrow personal agenda by attempting to obtain the private medical records of women, and he regularly puts politics before principle.
In a leaked memo to his campaign staff, Kline further demonstrates his misplaced priorities. In this embarrassing memo, Kline shows his desire to mix religion with politics by using church appearances to finance his campaign. He displays interest to "get the pastor to invite five 'money people' whom he knows can help," and that the "goal is to walk away with contact information, money and volunteers and a committee in each church." This dangerous mix of personal agenda with politics is exactly what Kansas does not need, and is why the best candidate for this position is Paul Morrison.
Morrison has been a prosecutor for 25 years and district attorney for the past 15. In that time, he has demonstrated a focus on priorities and exemplary judgment that puts him among the best attorneys in Kansas. Kansans should hope to elect an attorney general with plenty of courtroom experience, and Morrison's pledge is to protect Kansans without letting his personal political ideology get in the way.
The successful election of Morrison is in our hands. In 2002, Kline won by approximately
5 percent, or 4,300 votes. At the University, there are about 30,000 potential voters — enough to swing the attorney general election six times over.
Registering to vote is simple and can make a great difference. The numbers of registered young voters in the state will force candidates to take students seriously and realize they have a huge stake in their campaigns.
To be eligible to vote, students must be registered at their local address, whether a dorm, an apartment, or other residence. All voters are also able to sign up for an advanced ballot, giving them the ability to vote by receiving and sending their ballot in by mail and not having to show up to the polls.
Voter registration is happening at Wesco Beach on Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the process to get involved with your government takes less than a minute. The deadline to register is Oct. 23, while midterm elections, in which voters will choose our governor, attorney general and more, is on Nov. 7.
No vote is a wasted vote — each vote tells our elected officials who is getting involved in local politics and what they are interested to see happen in Kansas. Morrison has a positive outlook for the future of Kansas and will restore a focus on law enforcement to the attorney general's office. The choice is ours
University students can make the difference. Register to vote before Monday, Oct. 23, vote on Tuesday, Nov. 7, and make your voice heard.

Edgy, insightful comic strip will be hard to replace
The easily offended can rejoice: America's comics pages are safe, white and bland again.
The Boondocks, the Aaron McGruder comic staring the angry, black radical Huey, is unlikely to return in the "foreseeable future," according to a news release from Universal Press Syndicate. UPS has distributed the comic since 1999.
For six months, I've been looking forward to new Boondocks strips. McGruder took a hiatus in March. New strips should have come in by mid-September, but repeated attempts to confirm a start date with McGruder failed, according to the release.
With little hope left of seeing Huey, Riley and Granddad back, we can return to being entertained by Garfield pushing Odie off tables, teen angst, cute babies and, of course, Snoopy.
Don't even get me started on Peanuts. I loved Snoopy and the gang, but Charles Schultz is gone. Give somebody with a pulse a chance.
The loss of McGruder from America's comics pages can't be overstated. He provided perspective, content and characters unlike any other comic strip. It's not just that he brought minority characters to the traditionally white comics page. He cut through so much of the crap that inundates us everyday.
Boondocks was known for its
BY COURTNEY FARR
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
Not familiar with Boondocks? Huey's declaration upon learning he is attending J. Edgar Hoover Elementary School sums up much of the attitude of the strip: "Public educational facilities such as this are the cornerstone of the institutionalized racism that continues to oppress black people. Not only will I refuse to succumb to your brainwashing — I will dedicate myself to the eventual elimination of this abomination to the high pursuit of learning," Huey tells his new teacher.
No one else is going to replace that kind of attitude.
Bloggers have pointed out that fans still have the Boondocks cartoon on Cartoon Network. The show will return for its second season in the Adult Swim lineup.
Sure, the characters survive, but McGruder's creation is restricted
to the teens, college kids and other twenty-somethings targeted by Adult Swim.
By withdrawing from print, McGruder loses the chance to preach to millions who otherwise are unlikely to see the show. Those who are most likely to be offended are now safely shielded from contrary opinion.
heavy criticism of the Bush administration, but also regularly commented on black celebrities, pop culture, Internet trends and interracial relationships.
Besides, television has other programs with biting political and social commentary. I can tune in The Daily Show for that. If I want angry children, I can go find South Park or Stewie from Family Guy. No comic in print has the edge of Boondocks.
No one publicly seems to know what is up with McGruder. The daily grind of a comic strip could have burned him out. He could be bored with the strip. He might just like television more.
Even though I'm angry the strip isn't returning, I can't fault him for wanting to move on. Too many comics hold on for years after they turn into stale, formulaic shadows of their former brilliance. No fan wants to see that happen to Boondocks. Better to "keep it real," as Riley would say.
Maybe withdrawing from print will give him the energy and time needed for new creations. I hope so.
Farr is a Scott City senior in journalism.
Fan apologizes for cartoon, bad behavior
As a lifelong Husker fan, I can honestly say that I speak for many in saying that I was appalled at both instances. Nebraska fans hold a reputation nation-wide as among the best in intercollegiate athletics, and many would say rightfully so. Last Saturday night was at least a tragic step backwards in that national perception.
While the editors of the DN may continue to defend such an unthinkable "freedom of the press" expression, there comes a point where people need to realize that the ethical codes of journalism do not promote insults and insensitivity "just because you can". Rest assured that as for the rational minds at this school, in this state, and all across Husker Nation, Eric Washington is in our thoughts and prayers.
The University of Kansas was and always will remain a tremendously respected opponent and friend, and we hope to heal together while brushing aside the opinions and actions of an ignorant minority in the Nebraska community.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I am sorry. So many people are sorry. Please do not believe that the inconsiderate fans ignorant enough to start the wave during Eric Washington's injury or the irresponsible "satirist" Brent Meier act in the manner that all people attending that game or attending this university feel. The conduct of the fans and Meier alike in those two instances was reprehensible and appalling, and I, for one, felt the need to address the University of Kansas student body and family in the form of an apology. It may not be much, but at least it's something.

As a student at the University of Nebraska, I want to apologize on behalf of my school and our fans for the conduct of many individuals during and after last weekend's great game between our two institutions, namely, one idiotic "cartoonist" in our student newspaper and a host of stupid fans in the north and west stands.
There can be no excuses for the "opinion" of Brent Meier in his Daily Nebraska cartoon portrayal of Eric Washington and Mark Mangino. There can be no defense for the fans in the north and west stands who unthinkably started the wave during a terrifying period of injury on the field below. (However, I would like to point out that the student section is located at the direct opposite side of Memorial Stadium.)

FACILITY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Mangino and Perkins discussed the need for better facilities. Perkins went to work immediately with his constant fundraising efforts.
"This is something that we've been talking about for years and years and years and nobody was able to get it done," Perkins said. "We just made it a high priority and got it done in what I would consider a very short time."
The man who finally turned the idea into a reality was Tulsa businessman, Tom Kivisto, a former KU basketball player, John Hadi, associate athletics director, went to Kivisto 10 months ago and asked him to join Dana Anderson, whose family the facility will be named after, as a major donor to fund the facility.
For his contribution, Hadl suggested that Kansas could name the football field in Memorial Stadium "Kivisto Field." The field was dedicated during Saturday's game.
"It was kind of an incentive to move some numbers in a very serious way," Klvisto said.
After Kivisto visited campus and saw the need for better facilities for the football program and more office space for non-revenue sports
"The fact that the program has done so well with such non-competitive facilities in the Big 12 is so impressive and I tell coach Mangino this all the time," Kivisto said. "And I think that Lew Perkins was brought here to help really turn around facilities in the football program."
Construction on the new facility and new practice fields will begin in early 2007. Completion of the facility is expected in July 2008.
As the Kivistos, Andersons, Perkins and Mangino took the first ceremonial digs Friday, talk surrounded the future and what the new facility will do for the football program and Kansas athletics. Perkins said it's going to give the
program a "competitive edge" that Kansas has never had before and help in recruiting.
Anderson hoped the facility would aid in the recruiting process as well.
"I'd like to congratulate and thank coach Mangino," Anderson said. "We are giving him the tools so he can be competitive in the Big 12 and nationally. I'm convinced that by doing this we will see the dawn of a new era in Kansas football and Kansas Athletics."
Mangino agreed that the facility would somewhat help with recruiting.
"I don't know if recruiting ever gets easier but at least it gives you a chance to compete with the facilities of many of the Big 12 schools," Mangino said.

BIKES (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
For 25 cents, Lawrence residents can register their bikes with the department.
Hundreds of community and campus police departments subscribe to the service including 31 in Kansas and 44 in Missouri. The nearest university police departments that subscribe to the service are Wichita State and Missouri.
Dan Hughes, owner of Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, 802 Massachusetts St., said he thought recovering stolen bikes was probably a low priority for the Lawrence police, but that national system could help.
"If it's free, I don't see what harm it could do," he added.

That number is now declining, he said.
Giorgi Burduli, Tblisi, Republic of Georgia, junior, said he thought the most obvious reason why enrollment had dropped in the
United States since Sept. 11 was because it was harder for students to get visas.
Kansan staff writer Kim Lynch can be contacted at klynch@ kansan.com.
Burduli said he wanted to study in the United States because a degree from the U.S. is seen as prestigious in his country. He was attracted to the University because it had good political science and international studies programs and because the campus was pretty liberal, he said.

The Homecoming winners received a placard to commemorate their victory as well as having their name added to a display in the Kansas Union.
The week of Homecoming competitions ended at Memorial Stadium Saturday with the announcement that Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, Chi Omega sorority and the Black Student Union organization won in their respective categories.
The three groups won the most points by participating in the greatest number of events, showing creativity
and school spirit.
This year marked a change in the Homecoming points system. Student organizations and Greek organizations this year were judged separately on the 15 events through the week.
Megan Easter, Perry, Okla., junior and Homecoming awards chair, said that the competition was highly successful this year.
"It was a good year," Easter said. "The competition from different houses and the creativity were magnificent."

DANCING NACHOS
TEXAS A&M 21 KANSAS 18
If not for big plays allowed, KU would be sitting pretty
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHIL IPS@KANSAN.COM
It's aggravating to lose close games the way the Kansas has. What's even more aggravating is not knowing what's wrong.
Saturday's 21-18 loss to Texas A&M was the third time this season the Jayhawks have led in the fourth quarter and lost the game. Add in a near meltdown against Louisiana-Monroe, and it becomes obvious that nail-bitors have been the norm rather than the exception for the lavahaws this season.
"If you lose tough games, it should make you angrier, and stronger, and make you want to pursue excellence," coach Mark Mangino said. "There's a sense of urgency, because you want to win so bad."
I asked Mangino if he thought that sense of urgency was missing this year. He responded with a question.
"What did you think?"
Well, coach, since you asked...
Kansas becomes a different team in the final minutes of these close games. Instead of forcing short gains and a running clock, it's almost a certainty that the Jayhawks will give up a big play. For example:
— Nebraska's 75-yard pass from Zac Taylor to Frantz Hardy to take the lead late in the game
— Louisiana-Monroe complet ing 28- and 33-yard passes on its final drive
— Texas A&M's 35-yard gain that put the winning touchdown within reach
It's also not fun to leave Memorial Stadium with no new answers.
"It's not fun to have to put so much pressure on the defense to perform," running back Jon Cornish said.
With them, the Jayhawks are simply another 3-3 team scrapping for their postseason lives. Winnable games are right around the corner, but first Kansas has to learn how to play four quarters of football.
The problems aren't new ones. Kansas found a way into the Fort Worth Bowl without an offense. After discounting punter Kyle Tucker, whose average pass was longer than his average punt, the Jayhawk offense once again relied on the Jayhawk defense Saturday to hand them field position on a silver platter. Not that it mattered: The Jayhawks twice left the red zone with a field goal.
— Toledo returning a Kerry Meier interception 84 yards for a touchdown
Mangino is currently 3-8 in games decided by less than six points during his five-year career at Kansas.
Take away these plays, and the Jayhawks are 6-0 and fighting for the Big 12 North title.
Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN
As it is, the Jayhawks can run up the score as much as they want in the first half. It won't matter. Opponents won't ever be scared as long as they know they can come back and steal the victory in the game's final minutes.
SAME OLD STORY
And that's aggravating.

Texas & A&M quarterback Stephen McGee tries to get past Darrrell Stuckey, freshman defensive back, for a two-point conversion at the start of the fourth quarter on Saturday's game. The Aggies beat the Jayhawks 21-18, scoring the winning touchdown with 34 seconds left in the fourth quarter. This is the third game in a row the Jayhawks have lost by single digits.
Early lead slips away in fourth quarter
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
It was supposed to be the day when Kansas made the leap from mediocrity to legitimate North division contender.
Saturday's game was an opportunity for Kansas to get a statement victory against a vulnerable Texas A&M team that was reeling from a last-second loss the week before.
The Jayhaws appeared to be headed for their 10th-straight home victory and an upset against the favored Aggies before a shocking fourth-quarter collapse.
Kansas led 18-7 entering the final frame, but crumbled down the stretch in the 21-18 loss to Texas A&M.
"How many games are we going to have like this?" senior running back Jon Cornish said. "At this point, we're used to playing in games like this. It's something we
have to remedy, because it's not fun"
Because of its poor play in close games, Kansas now sits at 0-3 in games decided by single digits this season and 6-11 under coach Mark Mangino. But even more troublesome is the 0-2 hole the team has dug itself in the Big 12 Conference. The team needs to play .500 the rest of the way just to make a bowl game.
The Jayhawks had opportunities all afternoon to put the Aggies away. Yet the offense, which put up nearly 600 yards against Nebraska last week, bumbled and stumbled its way across the Memorial Stadium turf for most of the day for 288 yards. Kansas had four drives inside Texas A&M territory and another four that ended near midfield. Despite the good field position, Kansas could muster only its second-lowest point total of the season.
"We did have a lot of chances with a lot of good field position," senior quarterback Adam Barmann said. "For some reason, whatever it was, we couldn't convert it into points and that hurt us in the long run."
Barmann, who played well in his first two starts in place of freshman Kerry Meier, had one of the worst outings of his career. He was 13-of-31 passing for just 127 yards. Barmann had thrown for at least 270 yards in his last two starts. Until midway through the second quarter, junior punter Kyle Tucker, who converted a 48-yard pass on a trick play, was the lashawks' leading passer.
With less than four minutes remaining in the game, Kansas
"I never felt like we were in sync on offense," Mangino said. "We just weren't sharp."

Kansas loses in close game with Texas A&M Single-goal games highlight long weekend against Longhorns, No. 8 Aggies
BY MARK DENT
The Jayhawks didn't look like they had just played their best game of the season as they walked off the field Sunday.
Not one player said a word as they slowly filed to the bench to collect their equipment. Blank stares graced each player's face as Kansas coach Mark Francis complimented their efforts.
Kansas (7-6, 2-3) lost a 1-o-heartbreaker to No. 8 Texas A&M in overtime Sunday, creating the morgue
like atmosphere on the sidelines. The game ended in a loss for the Jayhawks, even though Francis said they had played better than they had all year.
The loss to first-place Texas A&M wouldn't have been as disappointing if Kansas would have played better against Texas on Friday. The Jayhawks only lost to the Longhorns 1-0, but Francis was not pleased with
"We played very well," Francis said. "You can do almost everything right and still lose. I think that was the case today."
his team's effort. He let the players know about it by challenging them in a long speech after the game.
"Our heart was piss poor in the second half"; Francis said Friday. "We showed absolutely no heart in the second half; that's just not acceptable."
Francis' speech worked wonders for the Jayhawks Sunday. Take away the first 30 minutes and last four minutes of the game and Kansas did everything right.

Oklahoma blocks Kansas' bid to end losing streak
Correa records 1,000th career kill; costly sweep drops Jayhawks below .500
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team extended its losing streak to five matches with its loss Saturday at Oklahoma.
The Sooners swept the Jayhawks, 30-21, 30-24 and 32-30 in the Howard McCasland Field House in Norman, Okla.
"We got off to a slow start, which is a little disappointing." Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "Oklahoma
is playing extremely well they are a team playing with complete confidence."
With the loss, the Jayhawks are under .500 for the first time this season, 8-9 overall with a 1-7 Big 12 Conference record. No. 25 Oklahoma moved to 14-3 and 6-1 on the season.
The Sooners were led by outside hitter Bridget Laplante who had a match-high 15 kills.
Despite the loss, senior outside hitter Jana Correa notched her 1,000 kill of her career. In game three, with Kansas up 28-26, Correa became the ninth player in the school's history to reach the milestone.
"For somebody to go through two complete reconstructions of each knee, and still have the fortitude and courage to reach that mark, it's just a testament to her," Bechard said. "It really is pretty remarkable."

With five straight losses, Bechard said his team needs to find a way to get back on track.
"Just have an overall confidence that we can be a good defensive team and hit for a pretty high efficiency," he said. "I challenged them after the match, instead of thinking about what a certain teammate may or may not do, what are you going to do."

Texas A&M rallies late after low-scoring start
Aggies' offense steps up in final quarter for victory
BY SHAWN SHROYER
For three quarters, the Texas A&M offense played like it wanted to lose, but it played to win in the fourth quarter.
Although nothing seemed to work for Texas A&M early on offense, running back Jorvorskie Lane said the team refused to give up on the game plan.
"We ran the same plays that we ran in the first half in the second half." Lane said. "It's all about execution."
Texas A&M trailed Kansas by only 11 points at the start of the fourth quarter, but the Aggies had been making too many mental mistakes to make a comeback seem possible. Their offense had strung together only two drives of more than 60 vards in the first three quarters.
The first ended in a touchdown;
the second resulted in a fumble.
However, the Aggie offense was in the midst of an 80-yard drive when the fourth quarter began, showing signs that it was finally ready to compliment its defense. Then quarterback Stephen McGee dove inside the pylon for a touchdown on the first play of the quarter and a victory was suddenly within reach.
The Texas A&M defense was the only reason the Aggies were still in the game at that point. Kansas reached the red zone on four occasions, but only once did it reach the end zone. Texas A&M senior linebacker Justin Warren said holding Kansas to field goals on the other
three occasions was a huge boost to the team.
"We were getting into some bad predicaments," Warren said. "They were marching down there, maybe getting one or two big plays, but after that we were pretty much shutting them down."
To complete the comeback, Texas A&M had to avoid making the mistakes that had plagued it for most of the game. In the first three quarters, the Aggies had eight penalties for 41 yards and as many turnovers as touchdowns — one. In the last quarter, Texas A&M responded with two touchdowns, no turnovers and no penalties.
Lane said while the offense was struggling, he expected the defense to lose patience with them. Instead, to his surprise, he said every time the defense came off the field, it encouraged the offense to put a drive together.
The offense came out strong in the fourth quarter, running 24 plays for 91 yards — including 86 passing yards — and eating up nine minutes of clock.
The offense benefited from better field position in the final stanza. For the first three quarters, the Aggies' average starting position for drives was the 18-yard line. In the fourth quarter, their average starting spot was the 36-yard line.
"We knew that offense was losing the game," Lane said. "We came together as a whole offensive unit and did what we had to do to beat KU."
With the offense finally showing
signs of life, the Texas A&M defense kept doing its part to give the offense one last shot.
With 4:59 to go in the game, Kansas had the ball on its own 35-yard line. One first down could have allowed Kansas to run the clock down considerably, but Texas A&M forced a three-and-out.
Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione said his defense was able to stop Kansas on third-and-one that drive because of a perfect play call from defensive coordinator Gary Darnell.
"He had a great feeling for what they were going to do in that situation," Franchione said. "We blitzed on that down and the guys got great penetration and got into the back-field. They never had a chance to get it going."
The Texas A&M offense repaid the defense's favor, going 80 yards for the game-winning score and capping off the improbable comeback.
Although the Aggies could have assumed control of the game earlier, Warren said he saw the game as a positive because the defense kept the game close and the offense came through in the end.
"I just told them, this might not have been a top 25 team or a high opponent on our list, but it builds us up as a team," Warren said.

Washington recovering released from hospital
INJURY UPDATE
Kansas senior linebacker Eric Washington was released from a Kansas City, Mo., area hospital during the weekend after being admitted late last week for what a source called "precautionary reasons."
St. Luke's Hospital staff confirmed Saturday morning that Washington had been released, but were not able to say when.
After Saturday's game against Texas A&M, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Washington would visit a head and neck sports injury specialist in Oklahoma.
"He's doing pretty good," he said. "He's doing much, much better."
Washington suffered a concussion and temporary paralysis after a hit in last week's game at Nebraska. The senior linebacker was taken off the field on a stretcher and regained feeling in his extremities on the drive to the hospital. He was kept at a Lincoln-area hospital until Monday of last week for observation.

had a third-and-one and the opportunity to get four more plays. Mangino, though, was uncomfortable doing anything but giving the ball to Cornish. Kansas' running back got the call and tried to plow his way through the middle of the offensive line.
No luck. Texas A&M's defense was right there to stop Cornish well short of the first down.
The Jayhawks punted the ball back to the Aggies, who drove down the field and scored the game-winning touchdown with less than 35 seconds left to play.
Mangino said fear of a turnover
"We haven't taken care of the ball at the quarterback position, so we didn't want to take a chance," he said.
With just six games left, including five against teams with winning records, the Jayhawks have no time to mope about their missed chances in close games this season.
"This team is too good to let us get this down," Cornish said. "This team will bounce back — even if we lose 70-0 like we did last year against Texas. We came back and won against Iowa State and went to a bowl. Remember? We still have a whole season ahead of us. We'll be fine."

Mangino said at least four to five offensive starters missed significant practice time last week because of undisclosed injuries.

Adam Barmann, senior quarterback, hands the ball to Jon Cornish, senior running back, during Saturday's 21-18 loss to Texas A&M.
UP OR DOWN
Kansas must win at least half of its remaining six games to be eligible for a bowl. Are the Jayhawks' postseason hopes up or down?
Kansas has been inconsistent throughout the 2006 season, but one thing is still certain. Mark Manning's teams will qualify for a bowl for the second straight year. Thanks to the generally weary make of the bowl, the Jayhawks have three very valuable games left on their slate. For many Kansas State, Division I champions and Colorado debuts not pressure the big power to leave Lawrence without.
Asher Fuco
Unfortunately for Kansas, being competitive doesn't get you into a bowl game. It looks like the Jayhawks need to play someone out to get another victory because they haven't proven able to pull out a close game.
Kyle Carter
Last years, at the point the Jayhawks looked worse than they do now, and the remain- and schedule was more difficult. Surely, this肌酸 off together and qualified for the Fort Worth Tour. With threeeyer games to be against each other from A&M, the Jayhawks should be holding紧 in.
Jack Cannon
Coming off an endurogym over time loss in
Lincoln a week ago, hopes were high for the rest of the season. After Saturday's loss, however, any dreams of contending for the Big 12 North are likely gone. The Jayhawks will still make a bowl game, but it will be a lower level game similar to last year's Fort Worth Bowl.
Kayvon Sarraf
Although unwilling to optimistic about the Jayhawks, often seems formidable, the team still has a good chance to become low-level eligible. As the Big 12 selects bulldogs on winning all the remaining home games and applying one on the roster, it is disappointing to think what Kansas could have achieved if it had lost three close games, but Manning must find a way to win the game in which the team is favored.

Andre Agassi offers tennis lesson to rackets' bidder
LAS VEGAS — Andre Agassi almost lost a grip on two special rackets at a benefit auction before his wife, Steffe Graf, bought them for $360,000.
In the live auction before Agassi's 11th Grand Slam for Children on Saturday at the MGM Grand
Garden Arena, the tennis star was almost ready to donate the racket with which he won his first professional match, and the racket he used in his final U.S. Open just weeks ago.
Bidding topped $320,000 before Graf, one of the most celebrated players in women's tennis, intervened.
"Those rackets are supposed to stay with us," she said after making
it's all crazy money, so thank you," he said from the stage.
Agassi offered the next highest bidder a free tennis lesson.

In all, $8.6 million was raised at the benefit for underprivileged, abused and at-risk children in Las Vegas, Agassi's hometown. Agassi called it "an amazing night in an amazing year."

Actor endorses candidate stem-cell vote in Missouri
MAPLEWOOD, Mo. — Michael J. Fox headlined a campaign fundraiser for Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill, but his message was broader than one Senate race.

The actor, who has Parkinson's disease, is a strong advocate of embryonic stem cell research. McCaskill has made support for the research a key part of her campaign to unseat

"I'd love to have a cure, but there's a lot of life in the fight," he said.

Annual intrasquad prepares Jayhawks for competition
BY DANIEL C. WEIXELDORFER
Ryan McGeeney/KANSAN
Lisa Tilson, Mercer Island, Wash., senior and team captain, executes the breast stroke during Friday's intramuid meet at Robinson Center.
Standing by the side of the pool, Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell was shouting encouragement to both teams.
The Jayhawks kicked off their season with the annual intrasquad meet, held at the Robinson Center on Friday afternoon. Campbell said he was pleased with the performance, adding that the team was just getting warmed up for the season.
"If I had to grade the team today, I would give them a 'B'. We had some really good performances and we built a good foundation," Campbell said. "Our goal is to peak in February so if we are at a 'B' level now, we are good to go. This is one step in a long process and I feel like our girls did a great job."
The intrasquad meet typically features the team split into two different squads, pinning the team against each other for one day.
However, at least five swimmers had to miss the meet for personal reasons, so the two squads were forced to combine into one team. This ongoing tradition proves to be an important stepping stone for the team.
"It itt off the year in a non-pressure situation. This is the first time the team has swam together since July, so it is very vital to our success," Campbell said.
Senior captain Jenny Short had a solid performance on Friday, taking first in the 100-yard backstroke, as she looked to lead the jayhawks throughout the season. Freshman Maria Mayrovich, sophomore Danielle Herrmann and junior Lauren Bonfe had impressive performances as well in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle, backstroke and butterfly events.
"We looked very strong today," Short said. "We had some great swims for the beginning of the year and we will continue to improve."
Along with the two senior captains, the other being Lisa Tilson, 22 returning letter winners and 12 incoming freshmen complete the roster.
The success of the team will depend greatly on the 12 freshmen swimmers, who replace a strong senior class from last season. The freshmen came from around the world, from Singapore to San Diego, Calif.
"We had the chance to view the incoming freshmen and for them to gain some experience," Tilson said. "About half of our team are freshmen so it is somewhat scary for the upperclassmen, but today they stepped up in a big way, as I
am positive they will throughout the season."
The Jayhawks continue their season this weekend as they travel to Nebraska for the Big 12 Relays on Friday. This meet could be a crucial meet as the team finished perfect in the Big 12 last year during its 2005-06 campaign.
"This looks to be a great season," Tilson said. "We are excited to see where our team will lead us throughout the year."

SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Texas A&M took control of the game early in the first half. The Aggies had the ball on the offensive end for nearly the entire half and attempted eight shots. The second half was nearly the opposite. The Jayhawks possessed the ball for almost the entire half. The offense, which produced only three shots in the first half, erupted for 12 second-half shots.
"Our offense did really well today," sophomore midfielder Kristin Graves said. "You can get good chances, but it just depends if you finish them or not."
Kansas did not. Graves was one of nine players with a shot during the game and was part of one the jayhawks' best chances to score. In the 76th minute, Graves crossed the ball to senior forward Jessica Kilpatrick, who was standing behind the defense a few feet in front of the goal. Kilpatrick's one-timer off her head curved slightly wide of the goal. Kilpatrick's shot on goal was one of seven for the jayhawks.
Texas A&M, unlike Kansas,
played as if it had to pay a toll to
cross midfield in the second half.
The Aggies rarely passed the midline
and attempted just three second-
half shots. Kansas' defense held Texas A&M to 13 shots, 10 less than its season average.
"We did pretty good and got a lot of help from the forwards," junior defender Afton Sauer said. "It was a team effort."
The second half ended with several close calls in the last 10 minutes, but none of Kansas' attempts found the back of the net. The Jayhawks entered the overtime period with all the momentum, but they didn't end the game they way they wanted.
Aggie midfielder Amy Berend capitalized on one of the few Kansas mistakes on defense and dribbed past the defenders rushing at her. Berend took a wide-open shot from the top of the box that bent perfectly into the left corner of the net in the 94th minute.
"They got a good shot off before we did," Graves said. "It sucks to come off on the other end especially when you feel like you played really well, but that's just the game."

The Kansas University Endowment Association reached a benchmark this year when its total funds topped $1 billion.
The mark represents a 10 percent increase from 2005. Endowment Association officials said the increase was consistent with the rate of growth in recent years.
"This achievement really is the sum of many, many years of working to bring funds to the University," said Dale Seuferling, president of the Endowment Association.
Seuferling said the number represented the value of all the permanently restricted endowed funds for the University. That figure includes money given for purposes like scholarships and professorships.
"What it provides is a permanent source of support," Seufler said.
Endowment money was used to create 62 new scholarship funds in 2006, with a total increase of 7 percent in money provided for student support.
The Endowment Association has provided $99 million to the University in the past year.
Rosita Elizalde-McCoy, senior vice president for communications and marketing for the Endowment Association, said the growth was mainly due to the successful investment of the money the Endowment Association already had; the total the Endowment received in gifts slightly decreased from 2005.
Elizalde McCoy said the decrease could be attributed to less money coming in from gifts given upon death. The simple explanation, she said, was that fewer graduates died during the past year. Contributions and pledges from the living rose by 15.6 percent.
"Our alums and friends are showing they care about the University of Kansas and that's the most important thing." Elzalde-McCoy said.
"The endowment's function is to assist KU and were just incredibly grateful for the close partnership and all the ways endowment helps students and faculty." Bretz said.
Lynn Bretz, director of university communications and government relations, said KU administrators were pleased with the continued growth of the Endowment Association.

Trent Tiemeyer of Lawrence, door manager of Abe & Jake's, explains to a woman trying to enter the club Saturday night that she is already too intoxicated for him to admit her. "You can usually tell what stage they're at just by the way they walk," Tiemeyer said. "Like her, she had two people helping her walk. We catch it all the time."

The odd world of a nightclub bouncer

Lawrence doormen see variety of behaviors: fighting, intoxication, even oral sex
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Bouncer D.J. Gregory had checked hundreds of IDs and dragged a number of drunken fighters out the door, but he had never broken up a blowjob until recently.
While making his rounds one night at It's Brothers, 1105 Massachusetts St., a fellow bouncer told Gregory that a woman was
giving a man a blowjob in one of the booths.
No one else was near the couple as Gregory approached. The woman's head bobbed up and down on the man's lap as he leaned back in the booth.

"Uh, you can't do that here"
Gregory told them.
The woman quickly stopped, sat up and laughed with embarrassment. The man grinned, adjusted
himself, stood up and zipped up his pants right in front of Gregory. The couple walked out.
Welcome to the life of a night-club bouncer. Gregory and at least a dozen other beefy KU students are hired to keep the peace and enforce rules in Lawrence's favorite bars. Each weekend, bouncers spot local celebrities, meet hundreds of people, break up fights and stop the occasional oral sex act.

Drivers can now be ticketed for helping out their friends
Philip Davis, Overland Park junior, gets dropped off by a friend Monday afternoon near the Chi Omega fountain. Because of heavy traffic in that area, the KU Public Safety Office and the Parking Department decided to put up signs Friday to prohibit people from using the area to drop off or pick up their passengers.
Dropping off or picking up friends in the roundabout drive circling the Chi Omega fountain is no longer allowed.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of the Parking Department, said the department brought the issue up with the Public Safety Office, which agreed the rule was a good idea. Signs that had "no parking" symbols and that read "No Standing" were posted Friday in the circle drive near the Chi Omega sorority, 1345 West Campus Road.
Many people were stopping their cars to drop off or pick up people, which was causing congestion. The stopped cars forced buses and other cars to stop, creating a line of traffic. He said the area had heavy traffic and wasn't designed for dropping off or picking up passengers.
Kaiser said it was one or two people taking advantage of a convenience that was inconveniencing everyone else.
Sarah Kruse, Leavenworth
senior, said she was on a bus on Monday that had to stop because someone was being dropped off. She said she didn't think people would obey the signs because people also parked in restricted campus lots without permits.

ELECTION 2006:
Decide for yourself
Students have many options about when, where to vote
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
☆ ☆
If KU students can't make it to polling sites on Nov. 7 they can begin voting on Oct.18.
In Kansas, absentee voting is called advanced voting. In Douglas County, anyone can vote in advance.
Keith Campbell, Douglas County deputy of elections, said there were two options for advanced voting. A person can vote at the Douglas County Courthouse beginning Oct. 18 and voters can also request a ballot by completing an advanced voting application. The ballot will be sent by mail to a voter's residence and must be mailed back to the election office.
Marek Brzozowski, Prairie Village freshman, said he would be voting
in Johnson County. He said that he didn't know how to register in another county and that it was easy to vote in his hometown since the drive wasn't that far.
"I think both are wonderful tools for students to use because it gives you time to vote in advance if you're busy Tuesday," Campbell said.
The applications are available on the secretary of state's Web site, www.kksos.org, and at each county courthouses' election. Web site. Ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on election day.
Now that he knows it's fairly simple to register at another location, he said he would most likely do it.
Ian Staples, Student Legislative Awareness Board director, said it was incredibly easy in Kansas to submit an advanced vote ballot.
"Student lives are hectic and if you can do it on your own time it makes voting easy and efficient," he said.
First-time voters in a county must present a copy of a photo ID or a copy of a utility bill, paycheck, bank statement or any government documentation that confirms the voter's name and address. If none of these are available, students can use their Kansas driver's license number.

odd news
Heroic dog defends owner, enters animal hall of fame
BENTON, Ky. — A 15-pound pooch that fended off an intruder to defend its owner has earned a spot in the Kentucky Veterinary Medical Association's Animal Hall of Fame.
Teddy Bear, a 4-year-old Pomeranian owned by Leslie Ferguson, 24, bit an armed robber in April and created enough of a distraction that Ferguson could escape to a neighbor's house. The dog was inducted into the association's Hall of Fame on Saturday.
"My husband was out of town," Ferguson said. "He was on active duty in the military, and I had a guy break into my house with a gun. He tried to force me into another room. We ended up wrestling for the gun, and Teddy bit him and latched onto his hand. I was able to get the gun from the guy. He ended up getting the gun back, but Teddy distracted him long enough where I could get out of the house."
Ferguson said Teddy Bear never hesitated, even though he had never been vicious toward anyone.
"I guess he realized that I was in danger, and he just took action," Ferguson said. "He did great."
"Teddy followed me and pretty much didn't let me out of his sight until the next day," she said. "He still keeps a close eye on me."
Amputee police officer returns following therapy
MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS, Ohio — Eighteen months after losing his right leg to amputation, a police officer has achieved his goal of returning to the beat.
Patrolman Ryan Nagy didn't want a desk job despite the obvious difficulties a man with one leg would face as a street officer. He spent a year and a half in therapy and struggled to learn how to use his new prosthetic leg made specially for work.
Nagy will spend his first four weeks beside another patrolman to evaluate whether he's prepared for a full comeback. His doctor said he can go back to work without restrictions, and he's learned to drive using his left foot.
Nagy, 32, was crushed between two vehicles during a traffic stop in April 2005. He spent seven weeks in the hospital being treated for multiple fractures and severe head injuries.
BISMARCK, N.D. — The date is set, and residents here are determined to reclaim a snow angel title their city lost to a Michigan town earlier this year.
The record for flailing arms and legs in snow has spurred some friendly trash-talking between organizers in Bismarck and the defending champion town of Houghton, Mich.
Pasted photographs of his children, 4-year-old Zachary and 3-year-old Emad, adorn his prosthesis. "They're the ones that kept me working so hard to get back to work," he said.
Police said they stopped the man, whose identity was not immediately released, outside the nearby town of Coolgardie, about 12 miles from where his backward journey began.
The man was stopped by Western Australia state police on Thursday afternoon after they spotted his car roaring in reverse down the highway at about 40 mph, according to a statement.
Australian drives in reverse after transmission failure
Bismark created the Guinness World Records category when 1,791 people waived their arms and legs in the snow at the state Capitol more than four years ago.
SYDNEY, Australia — A 22-year-old man tried to drive 310 miles in reverse on a remote highway after his transmission failed, blocking his forward gears, police said.
"It's rightfully ours," said Marilyn Snyder, curator of education for the Historical Society of North Dakota, who organized North Dakota's 2002 record-setting event. "We set the record and established the record. The record is ours."
He was en route to the state capital, Perth, when his transmission failed outside a restaurant in the Outback town of Kalgoorlie, about 300 miles away, according to media reports.
Rather than call a mechanic, the man opted to continue driving — in reverse.
The city defended the title twice from residents of Syracuse, N.Y., who failed in 2004 and 2005 year to top it. But residents of Houghton shattered the record on Feb. 10 — with 3,783 snow angel makers.
A breath test for alcohol proved negative, but the man was charged with reckless driving and other traffic offenses, police said.
North Dakota town hopes to reclaim snow angel title
BOGOTA, Colombia — A colorful bird new to science has been discovered in a remote Andean cloud forest, spurring efforts to protect the area, conservation groups have announced.
New bird species discovered in Colombian cloud forest
The bright yellow and red-crowned Yariguiues brush-finch was named for the indigenous tribe that once inhabited the mountainous area where it was discovered and which committed mass suicide instead of submitting to Spanish colonial rule.
The discovery, published in the Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club, comes at a crucial time for conservationists. Thanks in part to the discovery, the government has decided to set aside 500 acres of the pristine cloud forest where it lives to create a national park.

STUDENT HOUSING
3A
Living costs in University residences to increase next year
The Student Housing Advisory Board unanimously voted yesterday to approve an increase in the 2007-2008 room and board rates.
The largest increases will affect the 11 scholarship halls, where all except Miller Scholarship Hall and Watkins Scholarship Hall will increase rates by 8 percent.
The Department of Student Housing operates as an auxiliary service, receiving no state money. The department operates solely on income generated from room and board
rates and will use the increase in revenue to fund housing operations.
"We project to the best of our abilities what our operational costs will be," said Diana Robertson, interim director of the Department of Student Housing.
Robertson said two aspects led to the increase in rates of housing at the University. The first is the recent growth in utility services that account for much of the operational costs. Robertson said that sewage rates were up 9 percent from last year, for example.
"Utility rates have increased significantly," Robertson said. "And we don't have any
reason why that would change in the future, other than to go up."
The second aspect responsible for the new housing rates is the increase in University employee salaries. At the beginning of this fiscal year, all full-time University employees received a 4.5 percent increase in salary. The minimum student wage was also increased at the beginning of this fall from $6.50 to $7.00. Robertson said this specifically had affected the housing department because they have so many student employees as resident assistants and desk workers.
"This means that salaries and benefits go
up," Robertson said. "And we have to cover that as an auxiliary service as well."
The housing department's budget also includes reserves to cover operational and maintenance expenses. Robertson said the department kept roughly one month of operational costs in reserve, about $1.5 million. Another $1.2 million is set aside for maintenance reserves, including hall renovations and other large projects.
The room and board increases were also based upon full-occupancy of the housing department. There are empty rooms this year from the reopening of Hashinger Hall,
but Robertson said all rooms would be available during the 2007-2008 school year.
now that the Student Housing Advocate Board has approved the 2007-2008 rates, the Board of Regents will begin reviewing the changes. The Regents will vote on the proposal in December. If the board approves the changes, the new rates will be on housing contracts this spring.

Organizations build huts for holiday

This week, Lawrence's largest Sukkah and the University of Kansas' first Sukkah hut will be on campus. The smaller hut on campus is sponsored by the Chabad Jewish Center and Hillel. The larger hut is located at the Chabad Center.
"I've always celebrated with my family by building a Sukkah at home, but this is nice for those who can't." Applebaum said.
KU's Sukkah hut was built on Monday north of the Kansas Union parking lot. At 5:30 p.m. today, Chabad and Hillel will host "Pizza in the Hut." The event will feature free kosher pizza, traditional Jewish food and drink as well as Jewish music.

The Sukkah hut is used to symbolize the cloud covering that Jewish people believe kept the Israelites safe during their long journey. Today's ceremonial hut is composed of four walls with a twig ceiling. Tiechtel said the cracks between the twigs allow people to view the stars at night.

It's not always that easy. On Sunday, April 23 this year, a major fight shut down Abe & Jakes at 1 a.m. The club was overcrowded with partners after the Kansas Relays that weekend and it took more than 20 law enforcement agents and a cloud of pepper spray to disperse the brawlers.
Though Abe & Jakes leads other Lawrence nightclubs in number of police calls, Tiemeyer said large-scale fights like the melee in April were rare.
Tiemeyer said he tried to maintain a solid relationship with Lawrence police and Douglas County deputies.
"As long as I'm courteous and friendly with them, they've always been the same with me," Tiemeyer said.
Jerry Neverve, co-owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., said that shutting down a small disturbance could be easier than it looked and that Red Lyon virtually never required police help. Sometimes the patrons themselves will help expel unruly drinkers, he said.

Some bouncers have even gone as far as to become martial arts experts. Nick Hergott, Overland Park senior, works at Mickey's Irish Pub in Lenexa. Several of the bouncers he works with have trained for martial arts competi-
Hergott said fighting for the sake of violence wasn't allowed and that his goal was to put someone in a submission hold if at all possible.
Ryan Mathisen, Highlands Ranch, Colo., senior, checks with Trent Tiemeyer, door manager at Abe and Jake's, about names on the VIP list. "It's just a matter of knowing somebody," said Mathisen. "You should see it when the line gets really long — people just plead and topled to get in."

Sometimes it doesn't work that way. Hergott remembered one brawl at Mickey's where two men got into a fight in the men's restroom. He said the fight lasted longer than it should have because no bouncers were watching the restrooms at the time.
Hergott and another bouncer ripped open the door and found blood spattered on the floor and across the walls. One of the fighters fell — or was thrown — into one of the porcelain urinals. His head struck the urinal and cracked it in half.
The urinal-cracker had a gash along his scalp and had to be taken to the hospital. The concussion and blood loss were serious and Hergott said the man nearly died that night in the emergency room.
Hergott, at 5 feet 11 inches and 220 pounds, is about the size of KU running back Jon Cornish. His favorite submission techniques are full-nelson wrestling holds and various submission holds, which put the troublemaker in an excruciating position that forces them to give up.
Despite the risks, bouncers generally don't get health insurance from employers, Hergott said. Worker's compensation claims are possible if a bouncer sustains an injury that keeps him from working, but such occurrences are rare.

Being a bouncer might be the quickest way to learn about all types of people. Hergott enjoys the responsibility the job entails and he plans to keep doing it.
"It can be an adrenaline rush" he said. "It's a cool job."

When the jayhawk football team lost to Toledo a couple of weeks ago, Piechna saw Chancellor Robert Memenway stroll into the bar to have a beer and catch part of the game.
Another perk of the job for many of the bouncers is the opportunity to flirt with a lot of intoxicated women.
Piechna said he had seen several KU basketball players stop in for drinks, including C.J. Giles.

Gregory, Alva, Okla. senior, also said he enjoyed his job but admitted that the pay wasn't great. He works two or three nights per week at It's Brothers and estimated Lawrence bouncers took home about $150 a week. Money depends on the number of shifts covered and whether bartenders give the bouncers a cut of the ties that night.

OUR VIEW
Congressional misbehavior alienating students
In surveys and opinion polls of students, a general lack of trust in government leaders is routinely revealed. This is an oft-cited reason for rampant civic disengagement among people in our age group, and is a constant cause of consternation for those seeking office. Why, they wonder, can't we just trust our Congressional leaders to do what's best and what's right?
Given the state of Washington's ethical fabric, should anyone marvel at our wariness? We certainly had reason enough to
doubt the collective backbone of a group that devotes more attention to securing funding for "bridges to nowhere" and other earmarks than it does to actual governing. Congress already seemed to care more about perpetuating their disappearing sphere of influence than in solving our nation's problems. But as if that weren't enough, they come at us now with a wave of ethical and moral failings that indicate a deep and enduring corruption.
The recent imbroglio involving Florida representative Mark
Foley's lecherous and wholly horrific behavior is just one more step in a long line of scandals that even predated super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his cronies. As if it weren't bad enough to have a respected Congressman making advances at teenage male pages, we now discover that the Republican leadership ignored and even concealed the problem for years. How could anyone trust a group that would abet such behavior, and that now demeans a very serious problem as being nothing more than
At what point does Congress cease being a comical sideshow and become a legitimate threat to our nation?
"naughty emails"?
Evidently, Congress is doing everything it can to lower its already plummeting approval ratings even more. At what point does Congress cease being a
comical sideshow and become a legitimate threat to our nation? We are facing corruption, incompetence, and deception on a scale unseen since Watergate. If the alleged party of moral values is actually assisting in covering up this reprehensible behavior, then who is left to trust? The defenses offered by House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert are paltry and feeble, and merely remind us that those same moral values may have vacated our nation's capital for good.
overdue. These leaders are known as public servants for a reason: They are elected to do what is best for the American people, not what is best for special interests and the entrenchment of power. We as young voters are willing to vote for you, and might even be capable of trusting you. But we need a legitimate reason to do both, and we need it quickly.
A massive correction is long

COMMENTARY
Dialogue abroad reveals similarities, differences
It happened when I was innocently eating in the dining hall. The English girl next to me was recounting her experience working on a farm in Norway before coming to Reading, and mentioned her run-in with some Americans at Oslo's airport. I asked her about it further, and was told that the Americans, unaware that most Norwegians speak fluent English and could understand their jabs, made fun of the country's customs and called the people "weird." I won't say where the Americans hailed from, except that it rhymes with "dexas." I laughed it off but it still bothered me — the Ugly American stereotype that we're all trying to escape.
In the week since then, I have become the source of information on all things American in my hall. There are only about 250 of us and we're a tight group; it didn't take long to surmise who the international students were. Besides me, there are girls from France, Spain and Italy, and a guy from Switzerland, all trying to figure out the English Way of Doing Things (which, truth be told, is very similar to the American Way of Doing Things).
If you can name it, I've been asked about it. Kansas weather, Kansas farming, American foreign policy, what type of food we eat, how our school system works, why I took the SAT and not A Levels, even why we call things certain names (i.e. why a mall is called a mall and not a shopping centre).
In turn, I've found out a lot about my new classmates and their experiences. Besides my friend who had farmed in Norway, another tutored in South Africa. Others discuss their interests in archaeology, family law and computers. My friend from France, timid about her English, speaks better than most native English speakers I know.
Do people with varied backgrounds exist at the University of Kansas? Sure, but the differences in Reading are deeper. Instead of coming from different parts of mainly one or two states, people come from different parts of an entire country. Cities in the UK have very distinct cultural and social identities (industrial Sheffield compared with more
suburban Kent, for example), which means that everyone has values that cut much deeper than mere politics. Add to this numerous students from every continent, and the variety of views, religions, interests and customs, and you have an exceptionally diverse community.
At the end of the day though, especially when we're all packed together in a dance hall and everyone has had a few, I realize that we're all young people trying to strike a balance between having fun and getting educated. There's something amazing about hearing people from so many different countries all singing along to Shakira at the same time. While this could be construed as a saturation of pop culture, I prefer to see it as a light-hearted showing of positive globalism.
As a political science major, I often try and ask people (delicately) about their political affiliations to get a feel for the mood around Reading. Opinion is as split here on Tony Blair and David Cameron (heads of the UK's two main parties, Labour and Tory) just as much as it is on George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton in America. It's vastly entertaining to listen to English people go on and on about why they like or dislike a candidate, precisely because it sounds so similar to what an American might say.
While I try to keep everything straight, I also try and keep my American pride and do my best to answer any questions objectively and honestly. It helps me understand my country better when I'm forced to answer for its actions and defend it when necessary. It means staying on my toes and being honest with myself about my own beliefs. Blind allegiance doesn't fly here; evidence and argument do.
Kelsey Hayes is a Lenexa sophomore in journalism and political science. She is currently studying in Reading, UK.
On a lighter note, it also means that when I have a visitor in my room and they ask about my college back home (having seen my numerous jayhawk postcards on the wall), I get to tell them all about it. The first question they usually ask is, "What kind of bird is that?"

Google purchases popular YouTube
BY MICHAEL LIEDTKE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
I am a superhero. I can fly and attack on everything.
Associated Press
Google purchased the video-sharing site YouTube for $1.65 billion in a deal announced on Monday. The deal is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
SAN FRANCISCO — Internet search leader Google is snapping up YouTube for $1.65 billion, brushing aside copyright concerns to seize a starring role in the online video revolution.
The all-stock deal announced Monday unites one of the Internet's marquee companies with one of its rapidly rising stars. It came just a few hours after YouTube unveiled three separate agreements with media companies to counter the threat of copyright-infringement lawsuits.
The price makes YouTube Inc., a still-unprofitable startup, by far the most expensive purchase made by Google during its eight-year history. Last year, Google spent $130.5 million buying a total of 15 small companies.
Although some cynics have questioned YouTube's staying power, Google is betting that the popular video-sharing site will provide it an increasingly lucrative marketing hub as more viewers and advertisers migrate from television to the Internet.
YouTube will continue to retain its brand, its new headquarters in San Bruno and all 67 employees, including co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. Meanwhile, Google will continue to run a less popular video service on its own site.
The deal is expected to close before the end of the year.
"I'm confident that with this partnership we'll have the flexibility and resources needed to pursue our goal of building the next-generation platform for serving media worldwide," said Hurley, YouTube's 29-year-old CEO.
While most videos posted on YouTube are homemade, the site also features volumes of copyrighted material — a problem that has caused some critics to predict the startup eventually would be sued
into oblivion
YouTube's worldwide audience was 72.1 million by August, up from 2.8 million a year earlier, according to comScore Media Metrix.

Japan's U.N. Ambassador Kenzo Oshima, the current council president, said all council members "emphasized that the response of the council should be strong, swift and very, very clear in its message and its action."
The 15-nation council urged Pyongyang to return to stalled talks, refrain from further tests and keep its pledge to scrap its clandestine weapons program.
Council experts started discussing the proposals in meetings Monday afternoon, but it was unclear whether China and Russia _ the North's closest allies _ would support some of the tough measures. They include international inspection of all cargo to and from North Korea to limit the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, blanket bans on luxury and military goods, and any material that could be used in the production of weapons of mass destruction.
Bush said the North Korean action "constitutes a threat to international peace and security" and requires "an immediate response" from the Security Council, though he stressed the U.S. remained committed to diplomacy.
》 NORTH KOREA
Bolton told reporters afterward that everybody agreed within 30 minutes that the council should condemn the action and respond quickly, saying "that's remarkable" to have such a unanimous decision.
Before the experts meeting, the ambassadors from the five vetowielding council nations _ the U.S., Britain, France, Russia and China met with Oshima.
Security Council condemns recent nuclear testing
Russia was the only country to say it had "no doubts" over the North Korean claim, but the U.S. and other experts said the explosion was smaller than expected and they had yet to confirm it was nuclear.
But just how long it will take members to agree on a resolution remains to be seen.
BY EDITH M. LEDERER ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS — The world lined up against North Korea on Monday for staging a nuclear test denounced even by key allies. President Bush called it "a threat to international peace and security," and the U.N. Security Council began weighing severe sanctions to punish the impoverished communist nation.
U. S. Ambassador John Bolton and key allies Britain and France also said they would seek tough new U.N. sanctions against the North. The U.S. proposal is aimed at curbing its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and would prohibit all trade in military and luxury goods and prevent "abuse of the international financial system."
There was no talk of military action. But the Security Council quickly condemned North Korea's decision to flout a U.N. appeal to cancel the test after the reclusive regime announced it had set off an underground atomic explosion.
But the reaction of world governments reflected little doubt that they were treating the announcement as fact.
"The fact is that in our half-hour, full council meeting this morning, there was no one who even came close to defending this test by North Korea," Bolton said.
The United States, France, Britain and Japan want the resolution under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which deals with threats to international peace, breaches of the peace and acts of aggression. It allows the council to authorize measures ranging from breaking diplomatic ties and imposing economic and military sanctions to taking military action to restore peace.
But he wouldn't speculate when the council might act, noting that Japan and others already had other suggestions for the text.
With U.S. forces strapped by the twin wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush administration repeatedly has said it has no plans to invade North Korea and discussion of military action was absent on Monday.
Neither Russia nor China would say whether they support a resolution that could pave the way for sanctions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin told his Cabinet that Moscow "certainly condemns the test conducted by North Korea."
"I think we have to react firmly," Chinas U.N. Ambassador Wang Guangya said. "But also I believe that on the other hand the door to solve this issue from a diplomatic point of view is still open."
Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said the North Koreans "will be facing a very serious attitude on the part of the Security Council and the entire international community;" but he said the council needs to discuss whether that will include sanctions.
North Korea remained defiant. Pak Gil Yon, the North's U.N. ambassador, said the Security Council should congratulate the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, known as the DPRK, instead of passing "useless" resolutions or statements.
"The nuclear test in the DPRK will greatly contribute in increasing the world deterrence of the DPRK" and will contribute "to the maintenance and guarantee of peace and security in the peninsula and the region," he said.
"This shows why we need actions and not just words about North Korea," Bolton told The Associated Press.
Impoverished and isolated, North Korea has built up its military and nuclear programs while relying on foreign aid to feed its 23 million people since its state-run farming system collapsed in the 1990s following decades of mismanagement and the loss of Soviet subsidies.
If the test is confirmed, North Korea would join the current members of the nuclear club _the United States, Russia, Britain, France, India, Pakistan and China. Israel is widely believed to have the bomb but has not publicly declared.
"The development and possession of nuclear weapons by North Korea will in a major way transform the security environment in North Asia and we will be entering a new, dangerous nuclear age." Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said at a news conference in Seoul after a summit with South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun.
The United States and its allies, and many of North Korea's neighbors, took the exact opposite view.
Abe, facing his first major foreign policy test since his recent election, called for a "calm yet stern response." Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso warned such a test would "severely endanger not only Northeast Asia but also the world stability."
Bolton told the Security Council that Washington would consider an attack on Japan or South Korea an attack on the United States, according to U.N. diplomats who spoke on condition of anonymity because the remarks were made at a closed council meeting.
A nuclear armed North Korea would dramatically alter the strategic balance of power in the Pacific region and would undermine already fraying global anti-proliferation efforts.
The United States has defense agreements with the two Asian allies and thousands of U.S. troops are stationed in South Korea and Japan.
"It marks a historic event as it greatly encouraged and pleased the ... people that have wished to have powerful self-reliant defense capability," KCNA said. "It will contribute to defending the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the area around it."
The North is believed to have enough radioactive material for a half-dozen bombs. It insists its nuclear program is necessary to deter a U.S. invasion.

Nick Collison and the Seattle Supersonics will be in Lawrence on Sunday for an exhibition game against the Chicago Bulls. Collison, a Jayhawk basketball player from 2000 to 2003, said he was excited to play in Allen Fieldhouse again.
Former Kansas forward returns for exhibition game
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Nick Collison will be back in the spotlight on Sunday for the first time in three years.
Collison, former All-American, will return to Allen Fieldhouse for Sunday's exhibition between his Seattle Supersonics and the Chicago Bulls. Collison played forward at Kansas from 2000 to 2003.
"I'm excited about coming back to play" Collison said. "It'll be good to
be back in Lawrence and play in the fieldhouse"
Collison has been out of the spotlight for nearly his entire NBA career because of various injuries. He missed his entire rookie season after having surgery on both his right and left shoulders. Collison also missed time last season because of a foot injury.
Because he's seen limited minutes in his two seasons of play, Collison said he realized the importance of the upcoming season.
"It's the last year of my deal"
Collison said. "It'll probably affect the rest of my career"
A coaching change before the beginning of last season should help Collison earn that new contract. In the new offensive system under former Kansas assistant coach Bob Hill, the offense focuses on the post players.
The change seemed to have helped Collison; his average points and rebounds per game increased from
his rookie season in 2004.
Last season for the Supersonics,
Collison averaged seven points and
five rebounds per game. He played an
average of 21 minutes per night and
made four starts.
When Collison left Lawrence in 2003, the Kansas basketball program was in a state of turmoil. Just days after a loss in the National Championship game, former coach Roy Williams bolted home to North Carolina, leaving the Kansas job open.
With Williams' departure came the loss of numerous assistant coaches, administrators and support staff who Collison had worked with in his four seasons as a lavish.
Despite the new faces, Collison said Lawrence still felt like home.
"I definitely feel welcome at KU," Collison said. "Everyone is friendly enough to get along."
Even though he won't be in town long — the Supersonics won't arrive until 9 p.m. on Saturday — Collison
said he appreciated the opportunity to play at the fieldhouse one more time.
"KU fans are great," Collison said. "They support you forever. It would mean a lot for us to have great fan support like that."

Injury keeps Meier on bench
FOOTBALL
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Adam Barmann looks for passing options in the Jahyhaws game against the Agnos on Saturday. Barmann has started three consecutive games in place of injured quarterback Kerry Meier.
With any quarterback controversy all but snuffed out, only one question remains for the Kansas football team. How long until Kerry Meier returns?
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A short answer for that is tough to get.
Mangino said Meier had not progressed as much as he had liked since suffering an undisclosed injury to his throwing arm nearly a month ago against Toledo. It was then decided that senior Adam Barmann would start his third consecutive game.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he had planned for Meier to return in time for the Texas A&M game on Saturday. But after practice last Wednesday, that plan changed.
As for Meier's return, Mangino said he was still unsure about the specific date.
"The matter of the fact is that he's at least a week away," he said.
The offense sure looked like it could use a boost on Saturday. A week after racking up nearly 600 yards of offense against Nebraska, the offense had only 288 yards against A&M. Kansas put up its second-lowest point total of the season and registered just one first down in the fourth quarter.
Despite the midweek switch at
After having two of the best games of his career in his first two starts this season, Barmann completed barely 40 percent of his passes against A&M. He also took two sacks.
quarterback, Mangino said Barmann wasn't responsible for the loss.
"I don't think our offense was very in sync at all," Mangino said. "I can't blame him for that."
Barmann refused to blame his struggles on taking fewer snaps earlier in the week at practice.
"No, not at all," he said Saturday. "That's not an excuse."
Kansas' game against Baylor on Oct. 21 will not be televised. It will kick off at 2 p.m. in Waco, Texas.

Hinrich eager to play ball once again in Fieldhouse
BY MARK DENT
Similarities between Lawrence and Chicago are hard to come by, kind of like a quiet ride on the El Train. Michigan Avenue has just a few more places to shop than Massachusetts Street and it would be hard to find someone who would confuse Fraser Hall with the Sears Tower.
But one even bigger difference sticks out in the mind of Kirk Hinrich.
"Kansas fans are as good as they come," said the former jayhawk basketball player. "You never ever got booed, no matter what happened. In Chicago, they're a little rougher on us."
Hinrich will get one more taste of his favorite fans Sunday, when his Chicago Bulls play the Seattle Supersonics at Allen Fieldhouse.
It has been three years since Hinrich traded the red and blue for the red and black. The Sioux City, Iowa native was drafted by the Bulls as the seventh pick overall in
the 2003 NBA draft and has since become the franchise's most recognizable player. This season he averaged 15.9 points per game, 6.3 assists per game and 3.6 rebounds per game and led Chicago into the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
As impressive as Hinrich has been in the regular season, he has been even better when the games really count. He ratched his scoring average up to 20.5 points per game and 7.7 assists per game during this year's postseason. The Bulls also gave the NBA champion Miami Heat all it could handle in a playoff series that ended 4-2 in the Heat's favor.
"We came a long way last season and did a great job of competing against them," Hinrich said. "This season we have the ability to go a lot farther than the first round, but it will depend on our mental toughness and coming to play every night."

"The talent level was unbelievable," he said. "I learned a lot and am a better player from the experience."

Kansas football broke even after six games. Not good, but not bad either. That is half way to a bowl game, after all. But something is making the situation much worse for Kansas fans. The Missouri Tigers are still undefeated.
Six victories, no losses. I really hate to say it, but I'm impressed with Missouri, and jealous. If a few things had gone differently, Kansas could be in the same situation as its border rival; challenging for the Big 12 North title, on its way to a prestigious bowl game, voted into the top 25 and on the shoulders of a great young quarterback.
Maybe all of that will come next year for Kansas, if it ever finds a way to win close games. But this year belongs to Missouri.
I didn't want to admit to it until I saw Missouri beat Texas Tech on Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. The Tigers came ready to play, going up 24-0 with back-to-back interception returns for touchdowns. But Tech scored three straight times to come within three by the third quarter, stealing all the momentum and putting immense pressure on Missouri.
KU
KU
BOOKSTORES
Under the pressure, Missouri scored two touchdowns, shutting down Tech's offense and winning 37-21. The Tigers were resilient and got the job done during the fourth quarter, otherwise known as crunch time. Kansas on the other hand couldn't score a touchdown in the fourth quarter or pick up one yard on third down to put Texas A&M away, and the game wasn't even on the road. Missouri is clearly the better team.
For the Jayhawks, the next five games — Oklahoma State, Baylor, Colorado, Iowa State, and Kansas State — will be especially important. Each is winnable. The Jayhawks should earn bowl eligibility by the end of this stretch. But if they don't, they face a must-win game against the Tigers. That probably means they can forget about a bowl game.
Could Kansas defeat Missouri on the road if it can't win at least three of those five games? Not likely. Would Missouri lose a game against its arch rival, who needs a victory for bowl eligibility? Missouri sophomore quarterback Chase Daniel probably won't let that happen.
Daniel is good but he isn't the next Brad Smith; he's already better. This season he has completed 64 percent of his passes, thrown for 1,273 yards and 13 touchdowns, and has a passer rating of 143.7. He's smart, with only four interceptions, the same as Kansas quarterback Kerry Meier against Toledo. He has also only been sacked five times. That's nearly flawless play.
Mangino has had Missouri's number the past three seasons, and his teams tend to improve toward the end of the year. The game is seemingly within reach. But no matter how brilliant Mangino's game plan or how much better Kansas becomes, winning in Columbia, Mo. will be tough to do this year.

Tim Allen, girlfriend marry in private Colorado wedding
LOS ANGELES — More power to Tim Allen. The comic actor got married this weekend to his girlfriend of five years, actress Jane Hadjuk, in an intimate Colorado ceremony.
The couple's family were the only guests at the private affair, held Saturday in Grand Lake, Colo., Allen's publicist, Marleah Leslie, said Monday. Allen's 17-year-old daughter, Katherine Dick, was among the attendees.
It is the first marriage for Hadjuk, 39, and the second for Allen, 53. He was previously married to Laura Deibel.
Hadjuk and Allen appeared together earlier this year in the children's action film "Zoom."
Allen, whose early comedy routines often centered on men and power tools, hit stardom with his long-running TV series "Home Improvement." He'll be seen in the upcoming "The Santa Clause 3" with Martin Short and recently finished filming Disney's "Wild Hogs" with John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy.
NEW YORK — Have public enemies Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie buried the hatchet?

In the video, taped Sunday night, the two arrived together at Dan Tana's Steakhouse in Los Angeles. After dinner, they text-messaged while waiting for their car on a bench in front of the restaurant. At one point, they looked at each other and smiled when an unseen observer said, "I always knew you'd be friends again, Paris."
"Simple Life" stars, who have been feuding since last year, appeared together in a video posted on the entertainment Web site TMZ.com.
Hilton and Richie, both 25, recently starred in the E! reality-style series "The Simple Life _ 'til Death Do Us Part." A new format allowed them to have nothing to do with each other.

Two Big 12 columnists analyze Saturday's games
Iowa State must improve its offense to compete in league
34
Iowa State lost to Nebraska 28-14 on Saturday in Ames. Iowa Grant Wall wrote this article for Monday's Iowa State Daily.
He saw the good.
Dan McCarney saw two different times Saturday night.
And then he saw the bad.
But mostly what he saw was bad.
"There were times where I thought we played the best football we have all year," McCarnie said after the Cyclones' 28-14 loss to then-No. 22 Nebraska.
The loss drops Iowa State to 0-2 in the Big 12, effectively eliminating the team from the conference race with its next game coming at No. 23 Oklahoma.
"There were times where I thought we left a lot to be desired," McCarney said.
"This shows us where we are," Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer said. "We're halfway done with the season and we know

where we are right now,
As an offense we have
to regroup"
Undefeated Missouri's — Iowa State's fellow Big 12 North opponent—only
Nebraska's Cody Glenn carries the ball against Iowa State during the first half of Saturday's game in Ames, Iowa. Iowa State lost to Nebraska 28-14, after failing to wish for 100 yards in its third straight game.
big game remaining is against Oklahoma,
while Nebraska faces Texas. All indications point to the Nov. 4 Nebraska-Missouri game deciding the champion of the North.
Nebraska dominated Iowa State in nearly all phases of the game;
"Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor went 17-of-21 for 131 yards and a score. He was 5-of-5 in the second half, as the Huskers rushed on 24 of their 29 offensive plays.
The Iowa State defense entered the game letting opponents complete nearly 75 percent of their passes. Taylor passed at an 81 percent clip, as the Cyclones struggled to get a consistent pass rush, giving the quarterback plenty of time to make his throws.
"Two backs for the Huskers rushed for more than 100 yards as Nebraska gained 251 yards rushing as a team. Cody Glenn (148 yards) and Brandon Jackson (116 yards) had their way with the ISU defense. The output was career highs for both players.
C
Against Baylor, watching Freeman throw passes was like watching cheerleaders chuck T-shirts into a crowd. But even then, Prince knew Freeman was close.
"Hmm," I thought. "This Freeman kid sure has a pretty hand-off. But couldn't Dylan Meier do that?"
Through three quarters against, Freeman wasn't spectacular. He looked a bit indecisive, unsettled.
Kansas State defeated Oklahoma State 31-27 on Saturday. It was the first time freshman quarterback Josh Freeman replaced Dylan Meier as the starting quarterback. Austin Meek wrote this column for Monday's Kansas State Collegian.
Call it prophecy or just a well-executed game plan, but Ron Prince saw this one coming.
Prince makes the right move with swap
"Just play well if you can," Prince said. "Then, in the fourth quarter, be prepared to be a hero."
against Oklahoma State, that's exactly what Freeman did. He managed the game for three quarters, and then he saved K-State's collective bacon in the fourth.
At his Tuesday media conferer Prince stated his expectations for true freshman quarterback Josh Freeman.
This was the third straight game in which the Cyclones failed to rush for 100 yards.
"They're great backs," McCarney said. "They're fast and physical and keep coming at you."
"He was like a little field general out there," offensive lineman Breck Unruh said.
In K-State's 31-27 victory
After getting the ball at the Nebraska 14 thanks to a fumble, Iowa State was unable to score, attempting a fake field goal that was stopped well short of the first down marker.
Prince? He would never say so, of course.
》 Iowa State had seven offensive possessions in the second half, and could only manage one score out of it.
The Cyclones were forced to punt twice, had a pass intercepted and turned the ball over on downs three times.
To clarify, Napoleon was a little field general. At 6-foot-6, 240 pounds, there's nothing little about Freeman.

But let's be honest: Prince needed this. Matt Boss' sudden departure raised a lot of questions, as did Prince's handling of the quarterback situation with the media
Iowa State, on the other hand, couldn't get things going on the ground. Meyer was the team's leading rusher with 26 yards and Stevie Hicks gained just 21 vards on six carries.
That's why Prince needed the Freeman gamble to pay off.
"In that second half, how many chances we had, the defense played their butts off and we didn't do our part," Meyer said. "It's frustrating right now."
after the Baylor loss. The offensive line seemed a more random selection than a Gallup poll.
"Part of it was getting behind and kind of had to be one dimensional but obviously you want to establish the run a little more than that," Meyer said.
"We have to put up a lot more points than we are now!" Meyer said.
Granted, this was just one game against a team with a suspect defense. Nebraska could turn Freeman back into a confused, interception-chucking freshman.

But man, that fourth quarter was
Freeman has the tools to excel. But the intangibles — the ability to step up when the game was on the line — nobody could predict that.
Nobody except Prince.
But on this one perfect, sundrenched Saturday afternoon, everybody at Snyder Family Stadium saw what Prince already knew.
Freeman is ready to be a hero.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
NFL provides new challenges for former KU football player
Charles Gordon enjoys time with Minnesota Vikings despite his recent injury
BY BRYAN CISLER
While Aqib Talib, Anthony Webb, Blake Bueltel and the rest
of the Kansas football secondary are still trying to make a name for themselves, former jayhawk cornerback Charsles Gordon is continuing his football career;except now Gordon

Gordon was having an out-
and also hurt his chances to make a significant impact this year for the Vikings.
"My goal was to come in, work hard and show the coaches what I got, and I thought I was playing pretty good until the injury." Gordon said.
The injury kept him from playing in the team's final preseason games, so he was unable to earn a spot on the 52-man active roster.
While Gordon was a two-time First Team All-Big 12 football player at Kansas, he is quickly learning that things are a little different in the NFL.
"The speed of the game is a lot faster than college," he said. "Also there are a lot more defensive schemes and they are a lot more complicated, too."
Although Gordon has been with
the Vikings less than half a season, he is already feeling like he has made progress.
"I am very comfortable right now with were I am at, and each day on the field I get better and better." he said.
Jayhawk fans may continue to dream about the impact he would have made for the crimson and blue this season, but Gordon said he didn't have time for second-guessing.
"I don't think about them," he said. "If I continue to do my best, I know I will make it."

Former KU football player Charles Gordon makes the best of his first year in the NFL, despite a knee injury that kept him off the Viking's active roster. Gordon said he was happy with his decision to leave the University early and said his game was improving every day.

HINRICH (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and other household names dotted the roster, but Hinrich still stood out. He finished second on the team in three-point shots made and three-point shooting percentage, and fourth in assists.
None of Hinrich's achievements have been a surprise to his father and high school basketball coach Jim Hinrich. Jim said Kirk had progressed every year to become the player he was and that he wanted to win more than anything.
"Every level he's played at he's done a good job of making those around him better." Jim said. "He's the consummate team player."
Fans at Kansas saw just how much Kirk could help a team during his time as a jayhawk from 1999 to 2003. Kirk came in as the least-heralded of a recruiting class that included Nick Collison and Drew Gooden, but he ended up starting 13 games his freshman year and leading the team in assists.
Shaggy hair soon became synonymous with success as the mop-topped guard helped lead the team to a Final Four appearance and 16-0 record in the Big 12 during the 2001-2002 season. Kirk could have jumped to the NBA after that season but instead returned for his senior year to carry the Jayhawks to a spot
in the national championship game.
"Both he and Nick did a good job of leading inexperienced players that year," Jim said. "Their leadership led them to the Final Four."
The feeling will be different this time when Kirk steps onto James Naismith Court for the first time since that magical run. The hair is still the same. So is his signature teardrop runner.
Kirk will be taking the floor with players like Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni instead of former layhawks like Jeff Boschee and Nick Bradford. Perhaps the strangest difference will be seeing his close friend Collison as an opponent rather than a teammate
in the venue they called home for four years.
Even with the changes, Kirk said he couldn't wait to play in the Fieldhouse.
"It will be a little strange not wearing the uniform," Kirk said. "But Allen Fieldhouse is the best arena I've ever played in. I'm excited to play on there last time."

MEN'S GOLF Jayhawks finish second despite tough conditions
The Kansas men's golf team finished in second place at the Windon Memorial Classic this weekend. The Jayhawks' strong showing moved the team to 28th place in the Golfweek national rankings.
Despite tough weather conditions and a second round that carried over from Sunday to Monday because the sun set, the Jayhawks finished with an overall score of 895, 14 behind the tournament champion SMU.
Senior Gary Woodland and sophomore Zach Pederson led the
Jayhawks, finishing in 2nd and 3rd places, respectively.
Pederson rocketed up the leaderboard with a third-round 66, the lowest single-round score by any competitor. Pederson's finish was his best as a Jayhawk, and his third round score was a career best.
Woodland played consistently as usual. His second-place finish continues his streak of three consecutive top-10 showings.
Senior Tyler Docking finished in a tie for 43rd and freshman Bobby Knowles finished tied for 49th.
Kansas will take part in the Prestige at PGA West on October 16-17 in La Quinta, Calif.

BUSINESS
Accountants in high demand, short supply
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Life is good for Matt Terrill.
The Overland Park graduate student is getting married next summer. Terrill is nearly a year away from earning his master's degree in accounting, and he already has a job at CBIZ/Mayer Hoffman McCann in Kansas City, Mo.
"It's great," he said about already having a job. "I have friends that are stressing out right now."
Accounting students at the University are finding it easier to gain employment when they finish their degrees because of the increased need for accountants in the industry. Changes in legislation and the current state of the economy has put the accounting profession in high demand. Many students like
Terrill secure jobs well before they graduate.
Eight accounting firms, including the "Big Four" of Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Deloitte and Touche, Ernst and Young and KPMG, will interview students on campus for jobs and internships during the month of October.
Pricewaterhouse Coopers will hire between 3,500 and 3,600 students from college and university campuses in the U.S. this year to work at their offices all over the country, said Jean Wyer, principal at the New York office and one of two people who manage the recruiting process they call "sourcing."
Jennifer Jordan, career services director for the school of business said that 100 percent of the accounting master's students who filled out
the exit survey at graduation this past May were already employed. She added that 82 percent of the undergraduates who were seeking employment had jobs.
The change in the business has been a progression since 2000, said Greg Payne, senior manager for Grant Thornton in Kansas City, Mo.
In 2001, it was revealed that Enron, once one of the nation's leading energy companies had committed accounting fraud by inflating revenue and hiding debt. Enron's auditing firm, Arthur Anderson, shredded documents related to the audits when the Security and Exchange Commission started investigating the fraud.
Enron filed for bankruptcy as a result. Many of its top executives were indicted for accounting
friend and insider trading. Arthur
Anderson was convicted of obstruction of justice in 2002 and was no longer allowed to audit public companies dropping the "Big Five" firms to the "Big Four."
As a result of the scandal, the Sarbanes Oxley Act was passed in 2002. The

pany executives more personally responsible for financial statements making it more important for audits to be done correctly and accurately. External auditors then verify those internal controls for accuracy and effectiveness.
Teaching Professor of Professional Accounting "Accounting got a lot of exposure."
"It's an ironic situation that Anderson helped Allen Ford, Larry G Distinguished
Allen added that the economy doing well right now made the environment good for accounting students.
Allen said it was a "robust market" for accounting students right now and companies were recruiting potential employees as early as their junior year of college.
Jim Heintz, director of accounting and information systems for the school of business, said about 60 graduate students finished the accounting master's program every year and if that output were doubled, accounting firms could still hire everyone.

Journalists to speak about soldiers' deaths
BY MARK VIERTHALER
For one year, Jim Sheeler and Todd Heisler of the Rocky Mountain News followed around a marine as he notified families of their loved ones deaths.
Sheeler
The two shadowed Marine Maj. Steve Beck as he informed families of the deaths of their children, husbands, fathers and siblings. Beck met with a 23-year-old pregnant widow, the parents of a young marine and the best friends of soldiers killed in battle.
F. E. A.
Sheeler and Heisler will be speaking at 8 a.m.
Heisler
P. M. K. B. H. S.
Saturday in 110 Budig Hall in conjunction with the school of journalism's Kansas, Editors Day, Maj. Beck
and John Temple, Rocky Mountain News editor/president/publisher, will also be present for the presentation.
The two won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Features and Photography.
Sheeler's story paints pictures of loss and support across the backdrop of one man from Oklahoma whose mission in the Marines is to be the bearer of death. It's Beck's job to stay with the family, from beginning to end. The article tells of Beck being cursed, hugged and blamed.
Heisler's accompanying photos paint a haunting collage of death, pain and grief. In one, the pregnant wife of a soldier throws herself across the casket of her dead husband. In another, the parents weep as they open the box holding their son's uniforms.
"The whole process was difficult," Heisler said in a phone interview. "We were with people who were grieving. These were people at the worst moments of their lives. Here I am, taking photos of them."

Queers and Allies celebrate National Coming Out Day
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
In the midst of the same sex marriage debate, members of Queens and Allies are mobilizing to make campus a more tolerant place for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals.
Queers and Allies will celebrate National Coming Out Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today on Wescoe Beach. Members of Queers and Allies will set up a make-shift closet door for others to walk through, symbolizing the coming out process. Those that walk through the doorway will receive a free "Gay? Fine by Me" T-shirt.
"Anybody is welcome to walk through the door," David Ta, Queens and Allies events chair and Wichita senior, said. "By walking through, you are saying to whoever sees you that you support queer rights issues."
The T-shirts are designed to help stimulate a more gay-friendly environment at the University. Not only are the T-shirts for lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender individuals, Ta said allies who wanted to support the LGBT community also wear the

An ingredient in marijana may be the best treatment for Alzheimer's, according to a recent study by the Scripps Research Institute. THC, the active ingredient in marijana, was proven to be more effective in treating Alzheimer's than the leading Alzheimer's drugs.
Study shows marijuana ingredient may help treat Alzheimer's disease

The active ingredient in marijuana, THC, may be the most effective drug for treating the declining effects of Alzheimer's disease, according to a study
done by the Scripps Research Institute.
Bill Smith, public health educator at the KU Wellness Resource Center, said the study's results seemed promising. Smith said it not a

cure, but at least a good treatment could come out of it.
The study, which appeared in the Oct. 2 issue of Molecular Pharmaceutics, isolated a synthetic form of the active ingredient
that speeds up the formation of harmful plaques in the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease.
THC was more effective than the two leading drugs for treating Alzheimer's, donepezil and tacrine. It almost completely reduced ACHE from forming harmful plaques, whereas donepezil and tacrine did so only 22 percent and 7 percent of the time.
Perhaps to the dismay of sup-
porters to legalize the drug, Smith said this didn't mean students should go out and smoke marijuana.
"Marijuana has been used medicinally for thousands of years for a variety of things, and it does have some uses, but there are also negatives," Smith said.
He said long-term problems related to marijuana use could include symptoms of chronic bronchitis, difficulty sustaining and shifting attention and difficulty registering, processing and using information. Short-term problems related to marijuana use could include memory and learning problems, distorted perception, difficulty in thinking, loss of coordination, increased heart rate, and anxiety and panic attacks.
Laura Green, executive director of Drug Policy Forum of Kansas, said she thought the study was just another in a long line of studies that show the beneficial properties of marijana.
According to the Alzheimer's Association Web site, about 4.5 million American's have Alzheimer's. It's estimated this number will more than double by 2050. The average cost of care for an Alzheimer's patient is $174,000.
"It shows what a lot of people have known for a long time, including the U.S. government, that marijuana has properties that are beneficial to people's health," Green said.
Green said marijuana was legal for medicinal purposes in 11 states. In Kansas there is no protection for any use of marijuana.
Some people are hopeful that new treatments will come out of this study.
"I think what this study is showing is that if you can isolate the good effects of it, then that's a healthier way to do it," Smith said.

Wendy Ferguson Administrative Associate for the Registrar's Office
Wendy Ferguson wants students to know that the last day to drop a class is Nov. 13. Ferguson, who works at the University of Kansas Registar's Office, said her busiest day at work was the last day for students to drop classes.
"We easily see over 1,000 people on that day," Ferguson said.
Ferguson graduated from the University in 1983. In 2003, she applied for a temporary position to help with registration after she saw a newspaper ad. After two months, Ferguson applied for a permanent position. She's been working at the University for nearly three years now.
Ferguson supervises the call center and front desks and helps students change schedules and process transcripts. On an average day, 300 students go through the Registrar's Office.
"I worked at a lot of companies where you have to dress up," Fergusson said. "Here I can wear jeans to work. Its just more comfortable."
Ferguson likes the college atmosphere of her work.
Ferguson helps so many students, it's normal for her to see them around town.

Ferguson said students make the job worthwhile.

Fortune cookies provide politics with Asian meal
AUSTIN, Texas — Supporters of a bond proposal are trying to reach voters through their stomachs.
Asian food restaurants are distributing campaign messages tucked inside their fortune cookies, urging customers to back a $31.5 million proposal that would fund community and cultural facilities.
Ronald Cheng, owner of a local Chinatown restaurant, concocted the cookie idea based on his support for the proposal's inclusion of $5 million for an Asian American resource center.
He said he's gotten a lot of compliments about the campaign, but discounted any criticism. "It's a fortune cookie," he said. "You don't like it, you throw it away. It's not a big deal!
The fortunes bear a prophecy or personality observation on one side and the campaign message on the other. More than 300,000 of the special cookies have been distributed to about 200 restaurants.
Police: Suspect robbed cabbie but left purse
SEVERN, Md. — In this robbery, the suspect took cash and also left some behind
Police charged a 30-year-old man after he allegedly left his coin purse in the back seat of a taxi while robbing the cab driver. Inside the coin purse was the suspect's driver's license, Social Security card and paycheck.
A 44-year-old cab driver with Diamond Cab Co. in Baltimore told police he picked up the suspect Friday night in Baltimore and dropped him off in Severn.
Police said that after the suspect got out of the cab, he started hitting the driver's head. He stole an undisclosed amount of cash and a pack of cigarettes and ran away, police said.
The cabbie called police and gave dispatchers the suspect's information. Officers showed up 12 minutes later at the suspect's front door.

Kreuter returned to the scene about 90 minutes later and cooperated with the responding Public Safety officer's investigation. Kreuter told the officer she struck the car, became scared and didn't know what to do. She left the scene, she said, because she had to be at an appointment.

Author, comedian to perform
Tickets still on sale for David Sedaris, New York Times bestselling author
BY BEN SMITH
David Sedaris, the New York Times bestselling author of "Me Talk Pretty One Day" and "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim," will perform at the Lied Center on Friday.
Steven Barclay, Sedaris's literary agent, said that Sedaris not only read his works aloud but performed them in a way that was intriguing to crowds and
Sedaris
P. G. BENZEL
offered a bit of fun to the event
"I represent about 50 writers and of them, David has a certain magnitude and personality that really draws people to him," Barclay said.
Barclay said that this was one of
two annual tours in which Sedaris visited 30 cities in 30 days.
Sedaris made his comic debut in 1992 on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" reading his "Santaland Diaries," a collection of funny, non-fiction short stories about his life as a Macy's department store elf.
Much of his self-deprecating humor is autobiographical. In his works, Sedaris references his large family life, Greek heritage, various jobs, education and his life in France with his boyfriend, Hugh.
Sedaris was unavailable for an interview because of scheduling conflicts.
Jeff Dressel, graduate student in the cognitive psychology department, said he and his wife both planned to attend the event Friday.
"We love his books," he said. "He has a way of writing that makes you
feel as though the outlandish and hilarious events of his life are somehow very familiar." Dressel said that he had heard Sedaris speak before at the University and also on NPR.
"He's even more funny to listen to than to read," Dressel said. "I can't wait."
Sedaris has received many awards during his career, which include being named "Humorist of the Year" by Time Magazine and receiving the Thurber Prize of American Humor in 2001.
Tickets are still on sale at the Lied Center box office with prices ranging from $20 to $36 depending on seating.

Global competition holds tryouts in Lawrence
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Area bands, including the Akanes and the Walton Heist from Lawrence, and Apollo 13 from Eudora, will compete in a qualifying round of the Global Battle of the Bands competition tonight at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.
Tonight's winner will go on to the U.S. finals in Los Angeles on Nov. 11. The competition is a world-wide event. More than 200 bands are competing in qualifying rounds in 13 U.S. cities, as well as other countries. Finalists from each country will compete in London for a $100,000 cash prize.
Adam Sloat, national director for the U.S., said a good band could use the money to launch its career.
Important people in the music
industry will judge the final event. Sloat said this year's judges had not yet been determined, but in the past, major labels, booking agents and musicians like Desmond Child, served as judges.
Bands cannot perform any covers or pre-recorded music.
"This is the anti-American Idol," Sloat said. "This is made to show real live music at its best when it's real and raw."
Each band is allowed to play two songs in eight minutes during the competition. The contest is open to all genres of music. Sloat said if the audience didn't like a particular style, the sets went fast.
Sloat said they chose to hold a qualifying round in Lawrence because it's centrally located. There are four bands scheduled to compete from Oklahoma, one from Saint Joseph, Mo., one from Eudora, and two from Lawrence. Sloat said that more bands might be added to the lineup before the competition.
Will Dinkel, bass player for the band Apollo 13, said his electronic rock band played last year at a regional competition in Chicago. He is excited that there is a contest closer to home this year.
“There's a lot of great bands in the Lawrence area,” he said. “It gives them a chance to show their stuff”
The contest is at 9 p.m. at The Bottleneck. Tickets are $8.

Student faces assault charges after middle school shooting
》 STATE
MARCUS KABEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOPLIN, Mo. — A 13-year-old boy who fired an assault rifle inside a middle school was charged Tuesday in the bloodless shooting.
The boy was charged as a juvenile with first-degree assault, armed criminal action and making terrorist threats. The Jasper County juvenile office, which brought the charges, said it was talking with the prosecutor about possibly charging the boy as an adult, but no decision has been made.
The student fired one shot from an assault rifle Monday into the ceiling of Memorial Middle School. Nobody was injured and he left after his gun jammed, police said.
The boy was quickly detained by police. He is still being detained by juvenile authorities pending a court hearing set for 9 a.m. today, the juvenile office said.
Nearly all students returned to classes at the middle school Tuesday. Only 50 of the 690 enrolled students did not attend, in line with a normal day, a school district official said.
Police officers and patrol cars were stationed near the school but largely out of sight to avoid frightening sixth- through eighth-grade students at Joplin Memorial Middle School, police Sgt. Curt Farmer said.
"There were no reported incidences or problems," Farmer said.
The Joplin school board was due to discuss the shooting at its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday at 7 p.m. Superintendent Jim Simpson has praised the middle school's emergency plan and two levelheaded administrators for ending the incident without bloodshed.
and added security for the district's 7,000 students.
Simpson said Monday that the school district and parents will have to weigh potential trade-offs between open access to schools
"Some people talk about putting bars on the schools, metal detectors, police checking everyone. That doesn't sound like any school I've ever known," he said.
"How do we protect the students without making them feel like they're entering a war zone?"
The seventh-grade student — who was not named because he is a juvenile — entered Memorial Middle School just before classes started Monday dressed in a trench coat and mask and carrying a Mac90 assault rifle, police said.
The boy pointed the rifle at two students and a teacher before Assistant Superintendent Steve Doerr confronted him and asked him to put the gun down. The boy said, "Please don't make me do this," and fired one shot into the ceiling, Doerr said.
Principal Stephen Gilbreth came out of his office to investigate and said the boy pointed the rifle at him and pulled the trigger, but the gun apparently jammed.
Gibrbeth said he told the boy he had the choice of either walking out of the building or "I'm going to jump on you."
At gunpoint, Gilbreth walked with the boy through the school and exited the building. Outside the school, Gilbreth used his walkietakie to tell police where to find the boy, who was taken into custody minutes later.
After learning the student's identity, Gilbreth said, "He was a nice kid — a nice kid who almost killed me."
Simpson said the district's emergency planning worked. The school was locked down when the shooter was spotted just inside the main hallway, and police responded immediately.
Simpson said the middle school now locks all but the main doors after students arrive. But there are
no metal detectors or full-time officers in the schools.
"At this time, it seems like it just came out of the blue," Simpson said.
Simpson said there were no warning signs for teachers or administrators that the student was plotting violence.
Police found a note in the student's duffel bag indicating he had placed an explosive in the school, which has about 750 students. The bag also contained military manuals, notes on how to build an improvised explosive device and detailed drawings of the school.
Police also searched the suspect's home and removed rifles and hand-guns. The Missouri State Highway Patrol bomb squad was called in after a suspicious-looking device was found in the front yard of the home, but the package turned out to be nonthreatening.
The patrol also used bomb-sniffing dogs and officers to search the school, but no bombs or weapons were found during the search, Farmer said.
The dogs did react to the student's locker, indicating there had been weapons or explosives in there at some point, but nothing was found in a search, police said.
Simpson said police told him the boy had a fascination with the deadly Columbine High School shooting in Littleton, Colo., in 1999, but police declined to verify that information.
Farmer said police were not aware of any motivation for the shooting.
He said the weapon belonged to the suspect's parents, who had the rifle in a gun safe at home. The parents told police they didn't think their son knew the combination to the safe, but that he apparently did.
Police said it was not uncommon for people in the area to own assault rifles.

Oil and gas pipelines run into Alysake's trans-Alaska oil pipeline pump station one on Alaska's North Slope on Saturday near Deadhorse, Alaska. The nation's largest oil field on Alaska's North Slope and the 800-mile trans-Alaska oil pipeline were shut down Tuesday because of stormy weather. Flooding near the terminus of the pipeline, caused by heavy rain in southcentral Alaska, is suspected of knocking out fiber optic communication lines along the pipeline, said Mike Heatwalt, spokesman for Alaska Pipeline Service Co.
Stormy weather cuts oil production
ANCHORAGE, Alaska The nation's largest oil field and the trans-Alaska oil pipeline were shut down Tuesday after poor weather at both ends of the 800-mile pipeline caused havoc.

BP PLC said high winds were to blame for a power outage that shut down Prudhoe Bay in northern Alaska. Production fell to about 20,000 barrels Tuesday; about 350,000 barrels were produced Monday.
Analysts said any impact on oil prices would depend on how long it takes to restore production and distribution of the region's oil.
Separately, Alysese Pipeline Service Co. shut down the trans-
Beaudo said crews would work Tuesday to wash insulators, restore power and ramp up production. He could not predict whether the work would take more than one day.
"I don't think it's a very big deal."
Fitzpatrick said.
Alyeska spokesman Mike Heatwole said company protocol calls for the pipeline to be shut when valves cannot be closed — to limit the size of any spills — remotely. The valves must be then staffed by crews that can manually operate the valves, he said.
Alaska pipeline as a safety precaution after fiber-optic communication lines that allow operators to remotely control valves were knocked out of service, presumably by flooding.
"We lost communication with five of our remote gate valves just north of Valdez at about 4 a.m. Alaska time," Heatwole said.
Fimat USA oil broker Mike Fitzpatrick said the market does not appear concerned, for now, at what appears to be a temporary supply disruption.
At Prudhoe Bay, layers of dust and dirt blown by high winds built up on high voltage insulators on power lines, causing a short just before 3 a.m., BP spokesman Daren Beaudu said.
Oil prices fell to their lowest level in eight months Tuesday, settling at
Winds were blowing about 12 mph at Deadhorse near the time of the outage, said Tom Dang of the National Weather Service. However, they were blowing significantly most of Monday, with peak gusts of about 66 mph midday Monday.
The Alaska Department of Transportation closed a 65-mile stretch of the highway, starting near Valdez.
$58.52 a barrel, as doubts mounted that OPEC is on the verge of slashing its output by almost 4 percent.
Communications are a critical
component for operations of the trans-Alaska pipeline, which carries nearly 17 percent of the nation's domestic oil supply daily.
Flooding and mudslides along the Richardson Highway, which parallels the pipeline and is the only roadway out of Valdez, disrupted vehicle traffic.
BP has said it ultimately will replace 16 of 22 miles of transit lines. It expects to get replacement pipe by the end of the year, with construction beginning early next year.

Republicans reconsider handling of page scandal
ANDREW TAYLOR
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Arizona Rep. Jim Kolbe said Tuesday he told the House official in charge of the page program as early as 2001 about Rep. Mark Foley's "creepy" e-mail to a former page.
Kolbe, the only openly gay Republican in Congress, said a
Republican in former page he had sponsored contacted his office to complain of e-mails from Foley and that he "passed along" the complaint to Foley, RFla., and then House Clerk Jeff Trandahl. Kolbe said he did not take
"I didn't think anybody at any time in my office did anything wrong. If they did cover something up, then they should not continue to have their jobs."
page involved e-mails that were described as "creepy" but were not seen by Kolbe, and occurred in 2001 or 2002, well before House leaders say they first learned of inappropriate messages sent by Foley.
Kolbe is the second person to come forward and say that top House officials had early warnings about inappropriate Foley

the matter to other lawmakers.
"As to Congressman Thomas M. Reynolds, the speaker said, 'If he had mentioned this problem to me, I surely would have taken notice,' Weyrich added in an account of a phone conversation with Hastert. Reynolds, R-N.Y., heads the House Republican campaign organization.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., again said his staff aides acted appropriately last fall in handling information on Foley's conduct.
The developments unfolded as a prominent conservative quoted Hastert as casting doubt on claims by two members of the leadership in connection with the page scandal.
"I didn't think anybody at any time in my office did anything wrong," Hastert said. But he also issued a stern warning: "If they did cover something up, then they should not continue to have their jobs."
Hastert "assured me that the statement by Congressman John A. Boehner ... that months ago he had told Hastert about the page problem with Congressman Foley, was incorrect," Paul Weyrich wrote in an e-mail commentary on the issue. Boehner, R-Ohio, is the majority leader.
Weyrich quoted Hastert as saying Reynolds often came to him with numerous requests to help "incumbents who are in trouble. The speaker said he signs off on the majority of requests and only listens with one ear because the requests are repetitive."
Kolbe spokeswoman Korenna Cline said the complaints to the lawmaker from a former
approaches to pages.
Trandahl, the top administrative officer of the House,
got his job from Hastert.
A lawyer for Kirk Fordham, Foley's long-time chief of staff, said Fordham will tell the House
ethics panel Thursday that he warned Hastert's chief of staff, Scott Palmer, about inappropriate Foley conduct with pages in 2003 or possibly the previous year. Palmer has denied Fordham's account.
Hastert says he learned of Foley's conduct toward pages only on Sept. 29, when the Florida lawmaker abruptly resigned after being confronted by ABC News with copies of lurid instant messages he had sent to a former page.
About a year ago, Hastert aides learned from Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-La., about "overfriendly" but not sexually explicit e-mails from Foley to a former page from Louisiana. The aides did not inform Hastert, according to an account by his office.
"Some time after leaving the page program, an individual I had appointed as a page contacted my office to say he had received e-mails from Rep. Foley that made him uncomfortable," Kolbe said in a statement. "I was not shown the content of the messages and was not told they were sexually explicit. It was my recommendation that this complaint be passed along to Rep. Foley's office and the clerk who supervised the page program. This was done promptly."
Kolbe, who is retiring from Congress at the end of this year, defended his actions in response to the complaint from the former page.
Asked about Kolbe's statement, Hastert told reporters in Aurora, Ill.: "I don't know anything more about it. If there's something that was of a nature that should have been reported or brought forward, then he should have done that."

Violence, poisoning disrupt Iraq Officials condemn sectarian clashes
SINAN SALAHEDDIN ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — The brother of Iraq's Sunni Arab vice president was assassinated Monday by gunmen who broke into his home, the third of the politician's four siblings to be slain this year. Sunnis blamed Shiite militias and demanded a crackdown to stop the capital's raging sectarian violence.
Iraki authorities, meanwhile, arrested the head of the mess hall at a base where up to 400 mainly Shite policemen suffered food poisoning during a Ramadan meal amid concerns it may have been the first known attempt by insurgents to carry out a mass poisoning against police.
A military spokesman, Brig. Qassim al-Moussawi, said the poisoning likely was intentional, though he did not rule out that spoiled food was used in the meal as part of a scheme by contractors or officers to skim off money from food funds.
The policemen fell ill after eating their iftar, the mar that ends the sunrise-to-sunset fast during the Islamic holy month, at their base in the southern town of Numaniyah.
Also detained for questioning was the Iraqi contractor hired to provide food for the base and a number of other people, al-Moussaawi said, without providing details.
Authorities were still investigating what substance may have been used in the case of a poisoning.
Baghdad was torn by new violence. A car bomb ripped through a market in a Shite district, killing at least 10 people and wounding 23 — an attack likely carried out by Sunni insurgents.
Gunmen also kidnapped 11 policemen in a brazen assault on their checkpoint in Sadr City, a Baghdad neighborhood dominated by the Mahdi Army, the country's most powerful Shite militia.
Elsewhere in Iraq, the U.S. military announced that three Marines died Sunday after fighting in the western region of Anbar, a hotbed of Sunni insurgents, bringing to 32 the number of American service members who have died in Iraq this month.
The death of the brother of Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi — the country's most prominent Sunni Arab politician — alarmed Sunnis and fueled their demands that the government crack down on Shiite militias.
Critics of Prime Minister Nouri al-Malki accuse the Shiite leader of hesitating on reining in the militias because many of them — like the Mahdi Army — belong to parties in his government.
"The clock is starting to strike after today's events," Khalaf al-Alayan, a Sunni parliament member told The Associated Press. "They (Shiite militias) consider Sunnis terrorists who must be killed. If the zero hour is coming, we will take the decisions needed to defend ourselves."
Al-Maliki condemned Monday's killing as an "ugly, terrorist crime."
In western Baghdad, the Iraqi army arrested an al-Qaida in Iraq suspect identified as Sabah Ireimit al-Issawi, according to the Defense Ministry. It said the man is a high-ranking member of the terror group but did not provide further details.
Explosions from fire rock U.S. base in Iraq
IRAQ
LEE KEATH ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A fire broke out at an ammunition depot at a U.S. base in southern Baghdad on Tuesday night, setting off a series of explosions from detonating tank and artillery shells that shook buildings miles away. The U.S. military said there were no immediate reports of casualties.
It was not clear whether the depot at Forward Operating Base Falcon was hit by an attack. The cause of the fire was not immediately known, said Lt. Col, Christopher C, Garver, a military spokesman.
Explosions from detonating tank and artillery ordinance and small-arms ammunition stored at the site went off for hours afterward.
Large flames and smoke rose from the region, and flashes from the blasts and showers of sparks were visible on the horizon visible several miles away in central Baghdad, where the force of the blasts could be felt. The blasts came at time sporadically, at times in
rapid succession, lesing into the night. Helicopters were seen in the night sky flying over the area.
The blaze broke out in an ammunition holding area, where material is kept temporarily before distribution to the units at Falcon, said Lt. Col. Jonathan Withington, a spokesman at the base. He said more than three battalions are located at the base but he would not give a specific number of troops.
"There is a lot of ammunition there, but it's not a full storage depot," he said. "This does not degrade our operational ability at all." He would not give exact figures on the amount of ammunition or the number of troops at the base, saying only that "more than three battalions" were stationed there at the time of the fire.
Iraqi military officials said no evacuations of residents were ordered from the Dora area.
Iraki Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani went on television to reassure residents of the capital.
"The situation is under control" he said.

A woman holds a candle and a portrait of Anna, Politkovskaya as she and others rally in front of the Russian Embassy in Kiev, Ukraine, on Tuesday. Several dozen people gathered to commemorate the memory of killed Russian reporter Anna Politkovska, a critic of President Vladimir Putin.
World honors slain reporter
MARIA DANILOVA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — Hundreds of Russians, journalists and Western diplomats filed past an open casket Tuesday to pay their respects to a slain investigative reporter who had criticized President Vladimir Putin and Russia's conduct in Chechnya.
In Germany, Putin called the killing of Anna Politkovskaya a "disgustingly cruel" crime that cannot go unpunished, but he also played down her influence on Russian political life as "very minor."
No high-ranking government officials attended the funeral of the award-winning journalist, who made her name fearlessly exposing abductions and torture in the war in Chechnya.
"The authorities are cowards. Why didn't they come? Are they afraid even of a dead Politikovskaya?" asks Boris Nemtsov, a 1990 reformer who served as deputy prime minister under former President Boris Yeltsin.
Politkovskaya, 48, was gunned down in her apartment building Saturday. The killing threw a new spotlight on the risks faced by journalists who criticize Russian authorities and dig deep to expose abuses.
At home and abroad, her slaying drew widespread concern about dwindling media freedom in Russia since Putin came to power nearly seven years ago. Prosecursors have said she was probably killed because of her journalistic work, but there are no immediate leads.
More than 1,000 mourners who had gathered under the drizzle filed past the open casket where Politkovskaya lay in a funeral hall on the outskirts of Moscow, her forehead covered with a white ribbon according to Russian Orthodox tradition.
Prosecutor-General Yuri Chaika has taken personal charge of the investigation, but Politkovskaya's colleagues have expressed doubts that her slaying will be solved. Her newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, has pledged to conduct an independent investigation and offered a nearly $1 million reward for information that would help solve the crime.
U. S. Ambassador William Burns, who attended the ceremony, said he hoped "this tragic death will lead to greater respect for freedom of speech, for the importance of speaking the truth and achieving fairness and truth."
Putin, who was in Dresden to meet with German Chancellor
Angela Merkel, suggested the murder could have been aimed at discrediting Russia's image.
The family of Paul Klebnikov, a U.S. journalist whose 2004 slaying in Moscow remains unresolved, said Politkovskaya's death sent yet another worrying signal.
"Who's next?" Klebnikov's widow, Musa asked in a statement. "Without journalists such as Anna Politkovskaya and Paul Klebnikov, as well as many others who say truths some find uncomfortable — you cannot build civil society in Russia."
Russia is the third most deadly country for journalists, after Iraq and Algeria, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists, which says Politkovskaya was at least the 43rd reporter killed for her work in Russia since 1993.
Colleagues said Politkovskaya had been working on a story about torture and abductions in Chechnya, abuses she blamed on Moscow-backed Chechen Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov.
In a newspaper interview published Monday, Kadyrov expressed condolences over Politkovskaya's death, and denied any "Chechen trace" in the killing.

Parents of missing woman plead for help in finding her with Internet
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BURLINGTON, Vt. — The parents of a missing University of Vermont student made an impassioned plea for help in finding their daughter in a video posted on the Internet on Tuesday, as the search intensified for her.
"I beg of everyone that hears this broadcast, if they know anything at all about where my daughter, Michelle, is today, or where she might have been Friday night, Saturday morning, they tell us instantly," John-Charles Quinn said in the video posted on the Burlington Police Department Web site.

ACCOUNTING (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"We can't supply enough students to satisfy the market," Heintz said. He added that companies were so aggressive in their recruiting because they were afraid they wouldn't have a chance to hire the students once they graduated.
Allen said that when he spoke with one of the "Big Four" accounting firms on campus, that firm said they could hire every one of the tax accounting students this year.
Wyer said their "sourcing" techniques weren't aggressive, it's just "business as usual," and that there was always a demand for students.
"We understand that human resources are our primary asset," Wyer said. "We want the best kids that are motivated, smart and energetic."
It's not all about the money, according to Wyer. Even though it's standard at Pricewaterhouse Cooper for recent college graduates to make
in the mid-$50,000 range, her firm and others offer attractive geographic locations for their employees to work.
After he graduates next December, Terrill will be thrust into tax season working 60 to 70 hours a week until April 15. But before he graduates, he has to complete this semester and finish another internship at CBIZ next semester in which he'll make around $25,000 to spend on his wedding. When he starts full time in January 2008, he'll be making around $55,000.
"I wouldn't say the job search was easy, but it was straight forward," Terill said. "For me the important thing was that I started early."

Heisler said none of the subjects of the article ever got angry and tried to kick him and Sheeler out. One of the biggest obstacles they had to overcome, he said, was making sure the families understood the story they were trying to tell.

T-shirts.
"Allies have to come out and be supportive of queer rights. They too may also be stigmatized by their peers," Ta said. "It is a struggle for everyone."
COMING OUT (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Ta said that the, "Gay? Fine by Me" T-shirt project began at Duke University three years ago. That year the Princeton Review named Duke the college most unfriendly to gays in the United States. Students adopted the T-shirt project to combat homophobia and the message has subsequently spread to other college campuses. The LGBT Resource Center and Queers and Allies started the program here last year in conjunction with National Coming Out Day.
Ta said students at the University would celebrate National Coming Out Day this year to commemorate the 19th anniversary of a march in Washington, D.C., by LGBT individuals in 1987.
Jonathan Pryor, Queens and Allies director and Columbus senior, said that even though programs and events like National Coming Out day existed, the environment at the University could still be challenging to the established gay and allied community as well as those who are
just coming out.
Ta said he had known some students at the University who had faced discrimination or prejudice.
"KU is a friendly environment for the most part, but you always get your one or two people who would say something." Ta said.
In addition to raising awareness and protecting the rights of the LGBT community, Pryor said one of his goals with the event and Queers and Allies events throughout the year was to make the community more accessible and welcoming to allies.
"We are trying to change the support of allies in Queens and Allies and make it more supportive for allies to join us," Pryor said. "It is not always easy to stand up for the rights of an LGBT person as an ally."
More information on the coming out process and the LGBT community will be available at the event as well as on the Queens and Allies Web site, www.kuqanda.org.

Cartoon was classless, but so was fan behavior
The dialogue that has ensued because of a cartoon in a student newspaper has revealed an unsettling characteristic of college football: classless behavior among fans.
The editorial cartoon in the Oct. 2 Daily Nebraskan depicts Mark Mangino standing next to KU football player Eric Washington. "C'we eat him?" Mangino asks a medic attending to the prostrated Washington, who is thinking, "I had a dream where everyone did the wave ... for me! Bless those number one fans."
The student newspaper printed several letters from Nebraska alumni, students and Kansans that mostly reproached the paper's ethics. The paper's editor responded by staunchly defending the staff's decision to run the cartoon.
The cartoon prompted a dialogue that has unmasked the unsightly truth: Fans of both teams lack class. Nebraska fans initiated the wave while Washington lay motionless on the field. Kansas fans wore (as usual) T-shirts with unkind remarks about Mangino's obesity, such as "Our coach can eat your coach."
Brent Meier, the cartoonist, could have found a better way to convey his message, which was a critique on fan behavior. Meier could have left out the tasteless depiction of a coach contemplating eating an injured player.
Steve Lynn for the editorial board
Both Kansas and Nebraska fans value class. It took a distasteful cartoon to get us to talk about our lack of integrity.
Finding parking a strange adventure
COMMENTARY
I probably have a better chance of ruling the world than finding a parking spot at the University of Kansas. Or maybe I will find a spot, by some miracle of God (although the Royals will probably go to the World Series first) but it will be in the Chartreuse Lot, which is only open during the Winter Solstice and on alternate Wednesdays when the moon is full.
This used to happen to me all the time when I lived in the residence halls. Even with Hash closed, finding a parking spot was harder than finding a good basketball player from Missouri. Of course, there's always that lot in a galaxy far, far away, the Lied Center.
Things are a bit better at the scholarship halls, except on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights when the drunk people can't read and park in our lots. And of course, the KU Parking Department — although you'd think it would want to increase its ticket writing each year — doesn't monitor our lots worth diddlysquat. My friend parked in our lot when we studied for Western Civ. She was there all afternoon and didn't leave until that night after the exam. No ticket.
At the beginning of the semester, the entire staff of The University Daily Kansan had to deliver papers at five oclock ... in the morning. We originally were going to be at the Lied Center lot to sleeve papers, so I drove up there. It was raining so we moved back to Stauffer-Flint, the journalism building. I parked on Jayhawk Boulevard. We should be done delivering papers by 7 or so, I thought.
However, I was out delivering papers and got back to my car at 8:14 only to find a ticket issued at 7:54 ... and the boulevard closes at 7:45.

online to appeal the ticket. Now,
this was on Aug. 14, and it's now
October. I finally got my appeal
last week ... and now I owe them
$25 instead of $20 because of a $5
appeal fee.
It's frustrating to get a ticket when I've been there for 30 minutes while people take up my parking spot for several hours and don't get a ticket. And it's not just that people without passes park in our lots and take our spots. The drunk people don't realize what they're doing. My car has been egged. One of the girls in our hall had her windshield wiper torn off and then smashed into her windshield. Our cars have been hit too.
Get more parking. Well, this option isn't going to work, especially if alumni keep donating money for things like fountains or practice fields and sports centers. Not that the new fountain isn't pretty, it's just not very useful. I mean, we can't even swim in it.
I did not pay $160 dollars so you could have front row parking to The Wheel, thank you very much. Of course, there is a simple solution to this.
COMMENTARY
I'm going to rule the world. Then I can have my own special space: World Dominator of the Century parking only.

Even if we did somehow get more parking, it would probably be full because no one would monitor it because it's not Jayhawk Boulevard. So what am I going to do?
Leaders need to answer for actions
In the late 1940s when the Nuremberg Trials kicked into gear to convict 24 Axis leaders of war crimes, the Nazis' typical defense was that they were only following orders. It didn't get them very far and for good reason.
It's a bad defense. It's stupid. Computers take orders and so do children, but grown men should at least have the self-respect to ask why they're putting millions of the "inferior races" to death.
Granted, bucking authority is hard, and perhaps even lethal in Hitler-era Germany, but it's important.
Lynndie England, one of the soldiers involved in the Abu Ghraib ordeal, said she was only following orders.

OPINION@KASAN.COM
Majority Leader John Boehner
Majority Leader John Boehner — an awkward surname, given the subject — knew about it, but his excuse is that he told Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, placing the responsibility one notch higher on the pecking order.
What disturbs me is the idea that when people are in trouble, they think they can get away with placing the blame on others. That's a cop-out. They're in trouble because, say, in this case, Boehner probably didn't want to unleash a scandal on the Republican party in a year leading up to an election.
Take, for example, the Iraq war. We've been given many rationales for the conflict — the phrase in Latin is casus belli — ranging from Saddam Hussein having ties to al-Qaeda, stockpiles of weapons, most of which have been now discounted. Many Democrats, especially in the lead-up to the invasion, believed that we were there for oil. Some intellectuals argued that America wanted to increase its influence in the Middle East.
Following orders is never the real reason. It's a facade, a pretense that doesn't even skim the real issue at
hand. Did Boehner keep it to himself, or did he really tell Hastert, and why didn't he confront Foley about it? If partisan solidarity is the genuine explanation, then we're dealing with something bigger, which is why the question why is so important. Why is a versatile word, and one that it would appear the press is using to their credit. Too bad elected officials don't.
"To speculate, 'suppose Hitler won World War II' is uninteresting because he didn't. The interesting thing is to work out why he didn't and what are the consequences of his not having won it. Ask, What is the case? What is so? Believe me, those questions are not so easily answered — because people disagree on even the simplest description of an event in an age when one man's hero is another man's terrorist."
There's a ditch that questions are more valuable than answers. That's like saying yin is better than yang because a question is designed to get at the answer, and the answer is never given without the question. Questions are essential, but answers are pretty keen too.
While we were still waiting for a succinct and absolute rationale for our invasion of Iraq, the casus belli,
or why, I remember something Salman Rushdie said.

Attorney General Phill Kline has served his state well. During his four short years in office, Kline has reduced the number of methamphetamine labs in Kansas by 70 percent. He has worked with the FBI to form the Cyber Crimes Task Force and the Heart of America Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory to protect every Kansan by using his travel and furniture budget to pay for two KBI agents to work on the task force. He promised voters if he was elected that he would work to reverse the failed policy of reducing sentences that Morrison helped write. Now our state has Jessica's Law and dozens of other increased penalties — putting convicted felons in prison. And Attorney General Kline has pushed for aggressive prosecution — leading his office to prosecute more than 50 murder cases — more than his predecessor.
University of Kansas students, you have a chance to make a difference this year. You have a chance to keep criminals off your streets, keep meth labs out of your neighborhoods and keep rapists in jail where they belong. That chance comes on Nov. 7, when you can vote for the state's next attorney general.

In the last few years, Paul Morrison has had his chance to make a difference and has fallen short. He has had his chance as a longtime member of the Kansas Sentencing Commission to increase punishments for the worst criminals in Kansas, but instead he decided to use his role on the commission as a budgeting tool to reduce the prison population, putting students in Lawrence at risk. In Douglas County alone there has been a murderer released before his sentence was served, according to paul-spolicy.com, an anti-Paul Morrison Web site. But still there is more: Morrison has reduced the sentence for persons committing robbery and assault in Lawrence as well, according to the site.

Eastwood's son in 'Flags'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — There's a new face among the soldiers in Clint Eastwood's World War II drama "Flags of Our Fathers"; Scott Reeves, the director's youngest son.
Reeves, 20, makes his big-screen debut as a Marine in one scene of "Flags," due in theaters Oct. 20. He and a bunch of other guys smoke cigarettes, play cards and listen to music while waiting to go into battle.
Obviously, Reeves is a fan of the movie, the latest in Eastwood's Oscar-worthy repertoire.
"Flags," which recounts the story
of one of the six Americans who raised the flag on Iwo Jima, is "the culmination of everything, of all his work combined coming to this," Reeves told AP Television at the movie's premiere on Monday.
"it's just one of the best things to work on — ever," he said.
Eastwood, who is married to his second wife. Dina, fathered both Reeves and an 18-year-old daughter, Kathryn, with ex-girlfriend Jacelyn Reeves, a former flight attendant.
Reeves is getting serious about acting. He has roles in the upcoming movies "Pride" and "An American Crime", both slated for release next year.
Rapper injured in car crash
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — The rapper Cassidy was reportedly in critical condition at a New Jersey hospital following a car crash last week.
The 24-year-old Philadelphia artist, whose real name is Barry Reese, was a passenger in a sport utility vehicle that collided with another vehicle in Jersey City on Oct. 5, according to Sgt. Edgar Martinez, a police spokesman.
Cassidy was in critical condition at Jersey City Medical Center, The Jersey Journal of Jersey City reported in Tuesday's newspapers. A hospital spokeswoman did not immediately return a call Tuesday seeking information on his condition.
"He has multiple fractures of his face," his lawyer, Simon Rosen, said Friday. "He has a nasty scar from his ear to the corner of his mouth. He's on sedation to keep him from moving, and to keep him out of pain.
"It's scary looking, but he's a very strong young man," said Rosen, who did not immediately return calls
Cassidy was recently released from prison following his January conviction on charges of involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault in what Philadelphia prosecutors called the planned ambush of a man who had argued with the musician's friends.
Tuesday. "He's a fighter. He'll come through this."
Jersey City police issued a summons for making an improper turn to the driver of the vehicle that collided with Cassidy's vehicle, Javier Trujillo Gonzalez, 36, of Carson City, Mich.
All five people involved in the crash were taken to local hospitals, but only Cassidy sustained serious injuries, Rosen said.
The rapper was heading to a recording studio in New York to work on an upcoming album when the crash occurred, his lawyer said.
A judge ruled that Cassidy was grossly negligent for supplying the guns that killed Desmond Hawkins and wounded two of his companions.
In this undated photo released by ABC, co-host Diane Sawyer, right, talks with actor Mel Gibson during an interview that will air on ABC's "Good Morning America," on Thursday and Friday. This is the first time Gibson has talked to the media since his drunken-driving arrest and subsequent anti-Semitic tirade on July 28.
'STUPID RAMBLINGS'
Mel Gibson revisits anti-Semitic remarks
SANDY COHEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Mel Gibson calls his anti-Semitic rant following his arrest for drunk driving in July "the stupid ramblings of a drunkard."
In an interview with Diane Sawyer set to air on "Good Morning America" on Thursday and Friday, Gibson says that though staying sober is a struggle, he has not had a drink in 65 days.
"All you can do is take another step, keep breathing," he says, according to a partial transcript of the interview released by ABC.
He adds that he plans to continue making movies and working to heal himself and those he offended.
Clean shaven and casually dressed in jeans and a blue checkered shirt, Gibson tells Sawyer he began drinking two months before sherriff's deputies arrested him in Malibu on July 28.
"Years go by, you're fine," he says.
"And then all of a sudden in a heartbeat,
in an instant, on an impulse, somebody
shoves a glass of Mescal in front of your nose and says, 'It's from Oaxaca.' And it's burning its way through your esophagus and you go, 'Oh man, what did I do that for? I can't put the toothpaste back in the tube'<sup>39</sup>
The interview with Sawyer is the first time Gibson has spoken to the media since sparking a scandal by unleashing what he later called "vitriolic and harmful words" during his arrest. Gibson told the arresting officer: "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," and asked him, "Are you a Jew?"
"The last thing I want to be is that kind of monster," he tells Sawyer in the interview.
Comedian dives into coastal conservation
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Before she takes on the Oscars, Ellen DeGeneres is going to frolic with some coastal wildlife.
The 48-year-old comedian will become a virtual seal who heads up an environmentally conscious flock on the California Bay as part of a new Web site.
"I just think (seals) are adorable," she said. "I've always loved animals and I want to do anything I can to help."
DeGeneres is lending her famous name to Dawn Saves Wildlife, a Web-based program to educate visitors about how they can help save the environment and protect aquatic animals from pollution.
Site visitors can become virtual pelicans, penguins, ducks or seals and form "flocks" with their friends as they learn simple sea-saving steps such as recycling used motor oil and disposing of cooking grease in sealed containers.
The site aims to reach one million visitors, said DeGeneres, who will play host to the 79th Academy Awards gala on February 25.

Malawi man: Madonna adopted my son
Pop vocalist visits projects that give assistance to orphans with AIDS
RAPHAEL TENTHANI ASSOCIATED PRESS
LIPUNGA, Malawi — Madonna has adopted a 1-year-old Malawian boy whose mother died a month after childbirth, the baby's father claimed Tuesday, saying he was happy his son was escaping poverty.
Malawian government officials said last week the pop star planned to adopt a Malawiian boy while she is in the impoverished African nation visiting projects she funds for AIDS orphans. However, they declined to comment on Yohane Banda's claim that his son David had been adopted by the singer.
Madonna has made no public comment since her arrival. Her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, said in a statement last week that the star was on a private visit working on projects for children, and dismissed statements from Malawian government officials that she and her husband, film director Guy Ritchie, planned to adopt a boy.
"I am the father of David, who has been adopted," Banda, 32, told The Associated Press Tuesday. "I
am very very happy because as you can see there is poverty in this village and I know he will be very well looked after in America."
He said his wife Marita died a month after the baby's birth from childbirth complications and the child had been cared for at the Home of Hope Orphan Care Center in Mchinji, a village near the Zambian border.
Banda said his son left the orphanage on Monday and was taken to the capital, Lilongwe, where Madonna and her entourage were staying in an upscale ranch.
Madonna has visited the orphanage at least once during her visit. Its director, Rev. Thompson John Chipeta, has refused to speak to the media.
Madonna arrived in Malawi Oct. 4 to visit her Raising Malawi project, which is setting up an orphan care center to provide food, education and shelter for up to 4,000 children. It will have projects based on Kabbalah, Judaism's mystical sect, which counts the 48-year-old singer among its devotees.
Madonna and Ritchie have a son, Rocco, 5, and the singer also
has a daughter, Lourdes, 9.
Banda, a farm worker who lives in Lipunga, a village about 50 miles from the orphanage, said he had been told that David would make regular visits to Malawi.
"He will know his roots." Banda said.
"The director of the orphanage came here yesterday and told us that David has been adopted by a famous American singer," Mwale said. "I am very glad for him because having grown up as an orphan myself, I know how tough life can be."
The child's grandmother, Asinei Mwale, said she learned about the adoption from Chipeta.
Malawi is among the poorest countries in the world, with rampant disease and hunger, aggravated by periodic droughts and crop failure.
Some 14 percent of its 12 million people are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and an estimated 1 million children have been orphaned.
In many villages, grandparents or older siblings struggle to feed orphans.

Junior defensive lineman James McClinton, redshirt freshman linebacker Mike Rivera and the rest of the Kansas defense must play well during Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium if they want to shut down Oklahoma State's offensive line. The challenges they face will be similar to those of last week's game against Texas A&M, which Kansas lost 21 to 18 after Texas took the lead in the fourth quarter.
Cowboys present similar challenges
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Going up against one of the Big 12 Conference's better offensive lines for the second straight week, Kansas' defense once again faces the same challenge.
Kansas' challenge this weekend against Oklahoma State is simple: finding a way to get pressure on quarterback Bobby Reid without giving up the big play.
Against Texas A&M, Kansas defensive line arguably had its worst game of the season. The Jayhawks were unable to get pressure on A&M's quarterback, forcing coach Mark Mangino to bring the secondary up to blitz.
But bringing up the secondary left the defense vulnerable to big plays down the field.
Against Texas A&M, Mangino said he became increasingly worried about the pressure his defensive line was getting against the quarterback. Late in the second half, Kansas started bringing blitzes from the secondary, leaving limited coverage against A&M's receivers.
The Aggies took advantage of Kansas' blitz and used a short screen-play 35-yard pass to a running back to set up the game-wining the pass before the play on the pre-snap reads" junior defensive end Paul Como said. "We need to get in more of a pass rush mode than just stopping the run."
At his weekly press conference Tuesday, Mangino said he had no regrets about bringing the secondary up to blitz.
"I don't think we had a choice," he said. "We needed to get the quarterback to make quick decisions."
At times, the added secondary blitz worked to perfection. Senior safety Jerome Kemp recorded a sack when he blind sided Aggies quarterback Stephen McGee late in the fourth quarter.
Still, too often late in Saturday's loss McGee was given too much time to stand in the pocket and find receivers open downfield. On A&M's game winning drive, McGee was 8-of-11 passing.
The same holds true for this weekend's game against Oklahoma State, if Kansas doesn't get pressure on Reid, it can expect to be in trouble.
Pressure against Reid should be a key in Saturday's game. The Cowboy's offensive line has given up only seven sacks in five games this season. By comparison, Kansas has given up 11. Reid is also listed as the Big 12's second most efficient quarterback, behind Nebraska's Zac Taylor.
Players of the Week
Every Tuesday, coach Mark Mangino and his staff select players of the week from the previous week's game. Selections are made for offense, defense and special teams. This week's winners were:
"We just need to start recognizing the pass before the play on the pre-snap reads" junior defensive end Paul Como said. "We need to get in more of a pass rush mode than just stopping the run."
Offense:
Jon Cornish

Statistically, Como has been the Jayhawk's best threat to get to the opposing quarterback. In the first five games, Como has four sacks.
"We can't rely on one person,"
Mangino said. "We need good pressure from the inside and we need to have outside pressure that squeezes the pocket."

Preseason injury delays safety's start
BY SHAWN SHROYER
As Darrell Stuckey watched his teammates battle Northwestern State, he could hear fans talking about him.
Stuckey, a freshman, was penciled in as Kansas' starting free safety in the preseason. However, an undisclosed injury kept him out
of action, so he was forced to sit in the stands during games, surrounded by fans who didn't even know who he was.
"I found myself listening in on fans who were talk
ing about me," Stuckey said.
Stuckey
He said their conversations about him were mainly complaints that he wasn't releasing any information about his injury. Stuckey was surprised that fans were so upset about it because it was team policy not to discuss injuries.
Well, Stuckey is healthy now and looking forward to catching fans' attention with the skills he can add to the Kansas secondary.
Stuckey took the field for the first time in his college career Saturday against Texas A&M. He said he made a few mistakes early, like drifting while in zone coverage and playing too far off a receiver who couldn't beat him deep anyway, but it didn't take him long to
find his comfort zone.
"It hit me a little bit when I was on the sideline." Stuckey said. "I was kind of like, 'What am I thinking? Why am I thinking so much? Play your game.'"
He didn't start, but he impressed his coaches enough to see action with the game on the line. As Texas A&M mounted its game-winning drive, Stuckey recorded his first career tackle and pass break-up.
Stuckey joins fellow freshmen defensive backs Anthony Webb and Justin Thornton who have seen increased playing time compared to the beginning of the season.
Sophomore defensive end Russell Brorsen, who has also started playing more in recent weeks, said young players like Stuckey have been working hard. Now that younger players have the chance to play, they're proving themselves capable.
As for what Stuckey adds to the defense, senior defensive end Paul Como said Stuckey could make Kansas better against the pass and the run.
"He's fast, he's a real good cover player and he can come up and lay the wood playing the running game, too," Como said.
Stuckey had planned on adding those skills to the Kansas defense every game this season. However, suffering an injury in the preseason that put his playing status in jeopardy was hard for Stuckey to accept.

It's a volleyball double-dip this week in Lawrence. Tonight, Kansas plays Kansas State at 7 p.m., and on Saturday, Kansas will take on Baylor at 7 p.m. at the Horesi Family Athletics Center.
The Jayhawks won the last meeting against the Wildcats in Manhattan. It was the first time KU coach Ray Bechard beat the Wildcats in his nine years with the Jayhawks.

The Bear's senior middle blocker Desiree Guillard-Young leads the team. She is second in the Big 12 in blocks, averaging 1.53 a game.

STUCKEY (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"I'm reading a novel in class right now called, "Their Eyes Were Watching God," and my eyes were on God," Stuckey said. "Like, why is this happening?"
Stuckey said the injury dealt with his lower body, but he didn't know it was serious at first. It didn't swell up initially, but he knew it was bad when he had difficulty walking.
His injury became even more aggravating when the season began. As fans wondered when and if Stuckey would play this season, his teammates were struggling to control opponents' passing attacks.
He said he had mixed feelings because he thought he could improve Kansas' pass defense, but he didn't know for sure because he
had yet to play a game. Each game he sat out made him miss playing even more.
"My whole reason for coming here was I wanted to grow with you." Stuckey said.
Stuckey, who attended Washington High School in Kansas City, Kan., said Kansas was the No. 1 school on his list. Part of that, though, was because Kansas was the first school willing to offer him a scholarship.
"Being from Kansas City, Kan. and Wyandotte County, I believe nobody wanted to be the first one to make an offer," Stuckey said. "We just had the No. 1 homicide rate in the nation last year. It's not something you want to brag about."
Once Kansas made its offer to Stuckey, he said about 15 schools
- five of which were from the Big 12
- came forth with offers. However,
  he stuck to his commitment to
Kansas. He said he liked Kansas
because he could play there without
being compared to past players and
still make a name for himself.

Mets, Cardinals to fight for World Series title
MIKE FITZPATRICK ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The New York Mets sailed through the season, while the St. Louis Cardinals squeaked into the playoffs.
All that matters now, however,
are the next nine days.
After finishing 13 1/2 games apart this year, the Mets and Cardinals will play for a pennant when the best-of-seven NL championship series begins tonight with Tom Glavine on the mound for New York against a rejuvenated Jeff Weaver.
"I think we can compete with anybody and we're just going to go out there and prove it," St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols said. "It doesn't matter how bad or how good you look in the paper. You need to go out there and prove it when you cross that line 8 o'clock tomorrow."
Both teams are all banged up. The Mets have been missing injured pitches Pedro Martinez and Orlando Hernandez since the postseason began, and left fielder Cliff Floyd is hobbled by an ailing Achilles' tendon.
St. Louis should have All-Star third baseman Scott Rolen back in Game 1 after he received a cortisone shot for his surgically repaired left shoulder. But center fielder Jim Edmonds has been fighting the effects of a concussion, and the pitching staff lacks injured closer Jason Isringhausen and starter Mark Mulder.
Yet plenty of stars are still at full strength, including Pujols.
Much of the talk as the teams worked out Tuesday at Shea Stadium centered on whether New York's depleted pitching staff could contain the reigning MVP — and whether the Mets would pitch to him at all.
"Yes, and carefully," Glavine said. "So much of it depends on the situation of the game.
"He's really no different than anybody else — you have to be aggressive," the 40-year-old lefty added. "Sooner or later, we're going to have to pitch to him before the series is over. He's not going to walk every time he comes up there, I can assure you of that."
But with Rolen and Edmonds hurting, St. Louis' lineup looks less than imposing aside from Pujols, who batted .331 with 49 homers and 137 RBs this year. It would seem the smartest strategy for the Mets might be to force someone else to try and beat them.
"It's tough for one guy to win a seven-game series for a team." New York third baseman David Wright said. "You have to keep him from the RBI situations."
Puiols hit a key home run in the first round against San Diego, a series the Cardinals (83-78) won impressively in four games after going 3-9 to end the season and nearly squandering their big NL Central lead.
quote, when you deal with really dangerous hitters — it's about competition, not cowards. You raise competitors, not cowards. I really like that."
"If you want to walk him, walk him. The guys that hit behind him have made that strategy not pay off enough to where managers say, this is not good." St. Louis skipper Tony La Russa said. "My favorite
La Russa has his Cardinals in the NLCS for the third straight season and fifth time in seven years overall — a run that began with a loss to the wild-card Mets in 2000. St. Louis is 1-3 in its last four NLCS appearances and is still looking for its first World Series championship since 1982.
The Mets went on to lose the Subway Series in 2000 to the cross-town Yankees, already eliminated from this year's postseason.
So after a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division series, the Mets (97-65) own the Big Apple in October for a change. And even without Martinez and Hernandez, the NL East champions are favored by some to win their first World Series title since 1986.
The reasons for that are New York's deep bullpen and a balanced, relentless lineup that starts with speedy Jose Reyes getting on base for sluggers Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado and Wright.
"It's tough to see some guys get hurt. But what are you going to do, roll over and quit? You might as well keep fighting. We've come so far", said Delgado, who batted 429 with a homer and several clutch hits against the Dodgers — the first playoff series of his 14-year career.
"Unorthodox in baseball means absolutely nothing. Just win, and label it however you want."

NEW YORK — Joe Torre will remain as manager of the New York Yankees, finally getting the word from owner George Steinbrenner after the team's surprise elimination from the playoffs last weekend.

Opponent coming off loss for second week in a row
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas is coming off a heart-breaking loss for the second-straight week and, once again, so is its upcoming opponent. This time it's Oklahoma State.
Texas A&M fell at the last minute to Texas Tech two weeks ago before beating Kansas in the final minute of last week's game. Oklahoma State comes to Lawrence after a disappointing 31-27 loss at Kansas State.
Despite the tough loss, coach Mike Gundy said he was encouraged because his team was improving on the road.
"We went on the road and played in a packed house and we had a 10-point lead with four minutes left," Gundy said. "We lost the game, but we were in position to win."
Not only is the story line the same this week, but Kansas can also count on seeing an Oklahoma State offense similar to Texas A&M's. Luckily for Kansas, Oklahoma State's defense isn't nearly as stingy as the one the Jayhawks faced last week.
The Cowboys are averaging more than 200 rushing yards and just less than 200 passing yards per game this season behind sophomore quarterback Bobby Reid.
Reid is a threat to run, but is also slowly becoming an effective passer. He has completed 57.9 percent of his passes for 937 yards and 12 touchdowns to four interceptions and is second in the Big 12 in passing efficiency. He is also averaging 35.6 rushing yards per game. Reid struggled last week though, posting only 169 total yards of offense, far short of his 223 total yards per game average.
"The whole ball of wax with him is, OK Bobby, we've asked you to run the football," Gundy said. "You need to run the option and be successful. Put that threat on the defense."
Sophomore running back Mike Hamilton is averaging 6.3 yards per carry and already has three touchdowns this season. He had only one touchdown in 11 games last season. Freshman running back Keith Toston is sharing carries with Hamilton and
averaging 57 rushing vards per game.
Reid's clear favorite receiving target is junior wide out Adarius Bowman. He leads the team with 20 catches – twice as much as the next player on the list – for 443 yards and is tied for the team lead with three touchdown receptions.
Freshman Chris Collins and junior Rodrick Johnson roam the middle from their linebacker spots and have combined for 49 tackles, 28 of which were solo, 6.5 for losses and they have a sack and a fumble recovery a piece
Senior Victor DeGrate and junioris Nathan Peterson and Marque Fountain rotate at defensive end for the Cowboys and all three can wreak havoc on quarterbacks. DeGrate is fourth in the conference with five sacks, Peterson has 3.5 sacks, and Fountain is tied for first in the conference with two forced fumbles.
Despite some Cowboys' individual statistics, they have failed to keep opponents from scoring the last two games. In addition to the 31 points allowed last week, Oklahoma State gave up 34 points to Houston in its previous game and lost. In the Cowboys' first three games, they allowed only 8.3 points per game, and they won all three games.
Oklahoma State is in the bottom half of the Big 12 in every major defensive category, but it does feature five playmakers the Kansas offense will have to beware of.
If the Oklahoma State defense can't return to form to slow down Kansas's offense, the Jayhawks might avoid a nali-biter for the first time since their season opener - which would be a welcome sight to Kansas fans.
Junior free safety Donovan Woods and freshman strong safety Andre Sexton anchor Oklahoma State's secondary. Woods also has two forced fumbles and Sexton leads the team with 25 tackles, 16 of which were solo, and two for losses.

Jayhawks can still finish strong
SOCCER
Kansas soccer can still end season with good record if team wins last five games
Lacey Novak, Kansas senior midfielder/forward moves past a defender. The Jayhawks have a chance to finish this season with a strong record if they win the rest of their games this season.
BY MARK DENT
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Mark Francis didn't make any guarantees about how his team would finish this season, but he doesn't expect them to lose.
"If we win our last five games, which we have the ability to do, we'll finish 7-3," the Kansas soccer coach said. "We have everything left to play for."
Kansas (7-6, 2-3) will start its stretch run this weekend when it plays at Iowa State and at Missouri.
Francis' optimism about the rest of the year stems from the Jayhawks' 1-0 overtime loss to the Texas A&M Aggies on Sunday. Kansas outplayed A&M for most of the game, and held the highest-scoring offense in the Big 12 scoreless until the game-winner 94 minutes into the game.
"I think we definitely dominated this game," junior defender Afton Sauer said. "If that's the best team and we can hold up with them, it's a positive for us."
"Julie (Hanley) and the defense are doing a good job," Francis said. "We just gotta take care of the other end of the field."
A real positive for Kansas would be finishing in the top three in the Big 12. Francis said if his team did win out, they would have a better conference record than last season's Jayhawks, who finished second. Parity in the Big 12 could also help Kansas, Texas A&M (6-0) and Oklahoma State (6-1) stand atop the conference, but the six teams below them, including the Jayhawks, are within two games of each other.
Seeing the opportunity of finishing strongly is easy, but actually winning five games in a row, that could be difficult. Kansas has not

allowed more than one goal in the last seven games, but its record in those games is only 3-4. The Jayhawks haven't won back-to-back games since a three-game winning streak from Sept. 3 to Sept. 10. Offensive woes are the main reason for the maddening inconsistency. Kansas hasn't scored more than one goal since Sept. 17 and is last in the Big 12 in goals scored.
offensive woes when the two teams kickoff Friday at 7 p.m. Iowa State gave up nine goals earlier this year to Notre Dame and has allowed the third most goals of any team in the Big 12. The four goals Oklahoma scored against Iowa State last weekend also make the Cyclones an appealing opponent for the Jayhawks.
Missouri (8-6, 0-5) is reeling after starting out non-conference play with seven straight victories. Like the Cyclones, the Tigers don't defend well. They allow more goals than any team in the conference except the Sooners. Last year,
Kansas defeated Missouri 3-2 in double overtime on Senior Day at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
Francis said the two weekend games were must wins, but sophomore midfielder Kristin Graves wasn't worried about any added pressure.
"It doesn't matter what game it is or who's playing," Graves said. "Every game is a must win."

SERENITY NOW
Close losses haunt Kansas, hurt recruiting options
Let me start by saying one thing: I like Mark Mangino. I really do. The job he's done turning around the Kansas football program has been great, and it looks as though it has the chance to do something special in the years to come.
But let me repeat one thing: it looks as though it has the chance to do something special. This does not guarantee future success.
M. BERRY
The ground breaking of the football facility is great. A near-packed stadium helps, and television exposure is the cherry on top when trying to attract top-flight recruits to your school. Guess what else works? Victories. Especially close ones — over good teams.
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
KANSAN COLUMNIST
FDAVIS@KANSAN.COM
After two consecutive excruciat-
ingly tough losses, fans and media alike are making excuses for why Kansas has lost these games. Adam Barmann has been thrown under the bus by fans and even his coach. Mangino's been blamed for his time management and offensive coordinator Nick Quataro's play-calling resembled an early "Tecmo Bowl" video game — he kept calling the
same four plays.
While Barmann played poorly, to blame him for what happened Saturday is ludicrous. We all know Barmann isn't the fleetest of foot, but the kid has never been billed as a dual-threat. How does he go from torching Nebraska to flaming against Texas A&M Simple, he never had a chance to begin with. He didn't get the reps in practice and it showed on Saturday. Also, against Nebraska, Barmann moved around and out of the pocket much more than he did against the Aggies. It's clear, the kid plays much better with a moving pocket or rolling out than he does just sitting back. The coaching staff has to know this, yet they kept the same, tired game plan against the
Aggies, rather than mixing it up as they did against the Huskers. Result? Anybody within 100 miles of Kivisto field knew what the Jayhawks were going to do.
More glaring than the coaching staff's gaffes is the fact Kansas has squandered a valuable opportunity to contend for the Big 12 North title. You may have found that notion laughable before the season started, but after Nebraska, that loud, deep-forth-the-belly chortle turned into a nervous chuckle. After Texas A&M, all one can muster is a painful smile about what could have been.
you will have been.
For the third year in a row, close losses continue to haunt the Kansas Jayhawk football team. In fact, in games decided by eight points or less, Mangino's squads are 6-11. This year?
2-3. Last year was rough, and it was 2004 that especially sticks out if you remember that nasty Northwestern loss, followed by stomach-turners to Texas Tech and Nebraska. The combined points of those three losses was 10. Someone please pass the Mylanta. At the rate Kansas is barely winning and losing games this year, the team should suggest to those with high blood pressure to consult their physicians before watching Jayhawk football.
This is not a plea calling for Mangino to be fired or asking that he reconsider his offensive game plan. Okay, maybe the latter. The Hawks sit at 3-3 overall — the third year in a row — and are 0-2 in the conference. They have six winnable games left with three of those at Memorial
Stadium, I say six because although Missouri is the best team in the Big 12 right now — that's right, the best — KU vs. MU is always a good game no matter what the records are.
Chances for a Big 12 North title are slim and none, and slim just walked out the door. However, making history is possible, and that's what two consecutive bowls would do for Kansas — make history. And what happens when you make history? People start looking at you closer — say, a top-flight recruit or two.

》THE TRUTH
Edited by Brett Bolton
No need to be a sports fan to pay respects to baseball legend
There are tons of knuckleheads in the world of sports who suck up unwarranted media attention and segments on Sportcenter. Whether they are getting run over by motor vehicles or just morphing into gun-toting, bullet-spraying, strip club-visiting thugs like the Indiana Pacers' Stephen Jackson, the sports world is littered with bad guys who make even worse decisions.
That's why when the good ones come along, you have to appreciate them. Last Friday, one of the truly great people in sports, legendary baseball figure John Jordan "Buck" O'Neil, died at the age of 94.
BY DEJUAN ATWAY
KANSAN COLUMNIST
DATWAY@KANSAN.COM
Born in 1911, in Carrabelle, Fla., during one of the most hateful and violent racial eras in American history, O'Neil never let that hate or bitterness consume him. Instead, he preached an opposing sermon of love, compassion and forgiveness.
A celebrated Negro League Baseball player, O'Neil was a three-time all-star with the Kansas City Monarchs. He was also a manager
for the Monarchs as well as a scout for the Chicago Cubs and the first African-American coach in Major League Baseball.
But a catalog of accomplishments did not define O'Neil; building relationships with people and a positive outlook on life did.
He was a public relations dream, an attention grabber the moment he walked in the door. O'Neil's positive affinity for life, his infectious smile, charismatic nature and aura could melt the coldest hearts. He possessed a grandfather's knowledge and guidance that no one could resist.
O'Neil garnered national attention for his narration of a segment during Ken Burns' 1994 PBS documentary entitled Baseball and he never left baseball consciousness after that. O'Neil was equipped with timeless stories about Baseball Hall of Famers such as Satchel Page, Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, Jackie Robinson and countless others.
O'Neil was not just a Kansas City icon, but an American symbol for progress toward racial harmony. He was a shining example of what America could be when negative things are placed in the backseat and we can embrace the good things about life.
Serving as the unofficial spokesman for the Negro Leagues, he helped numerous Negro League ballplayers get into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Being denied entry into the Hall of Fame earlier this year never deterred O'Neil. There was never a hint of resentment in his voice, only the usual smooth, tranquil dosages of Buck being Buck.
O'Neil, the former ambassador of
the Negro League Baseball Museum, 1616 E. 18 St., Kansas City, Mo., will revisit the halls of the building that he made famous this Friday. Visitors can view O'Neil's body from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and the public funeral will take place Saturday at Municipal Auditorium, 301. W. 13th St., Kansas City, Mo. It will be the next-to-last opportunity for the thousands of friends, family and acquaintances who O'Neil influenced to say goodbye. I urge you to go and pay your final respects to a man who had the gift of gab, a man who never let those negative experiences of segregation and hate influence his life. Go say goodbye, not because you are a sports fan — because I am the first to admit that I don't care for baseball — but because you are a Buck O'Neil fan.

Firebird commits to play for Jayhawks
BY BRYAN CISLER
Playing under the bright Friday night lights, Lawrence Free State senior quarterback Ryan Murphy led the Firebirds to a 61-0 victory over Olathe Northwest. Murphy passed for 138 yards and rushed for another 99.
It won't be long, though, before he will be trading in the Friday nights for Saturdays. Murphy committed to play for the Jayhawks next year.
"I just like the coaches, plus it being a hometown team, playing in front of friends and family, I just really like the environment," Murphy said.
While Murphy is already one of the better quarterbacks in the state, when he enrolls at Kansas next fall, he will be moving from quarterback to wide receiver.
"Staying on the offensive side of the ball is a big reason why I am going to Kansas," he said. "At wide receiver I can still make the big plays."
While Ryan has already met some of his future teammates, such as Jake Sharp and Tyler Lawrence, Ryan also will have the luxury of playing with his twin brother Brian Murphy, who also committed to play running back
for Kansas.
"Playing with somebody I have known my entire life, and knowing that I won't be alone, it will make it easier to have fun." Ryan said.
The two have already been to several Kansas football games, which is easy for them, considering they don't even have to leave town.
"The South Florida game was my favorite," he said. "They just stayed strong. The defense at the end gave them a chance to come back and win that game."
While the Kansas coaches can't wait to have Ryan Murphy in a Jayhawk uniform, the three-star prospect, according to Rivals.com, is currently focused on his senior season, hoping to make Free State one of the top teams in the area.
"We definitely feel confident we are one of the best teams in the state of Kansas," he said. "We just have to prove to all the doubters that Free State is for real this year. We are coming and will be a tough team."

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
New basketball coach creates buzz at K-State
STEVE BRISENDINE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN - It's been years since this was a basketball town OK, a men's basketball town.
But on Tuesday, four days before a crucial game against one of Kansas State's biggest football rivals, No. 21 Nebraska, the Wildcats' basketball team was generating its own buzz. That's because only three days remained before the fans get their first look at their team under new coach Bob Huggins.
Fan interest in Friday night's "Madness in Manhattan," a first for Kansas State, has been intense, junior guard Blake Young said.
"It's going to be great for us," said Young, a transfer from Daytona Beach Community College. "I know everybody's excited for Coach Huggins and the new team, to see how things are going to go, so I'm sure it's going to be pretty packed."
Senior guard Akeem Wright, a holdover from former coach Jim Wooldridge's tenure, said he wasn't surprised by the buzz surrounding Huggins, who has generated headlines both for his on-court success and his off-court problems.
He took Cincinnati to 14 straight NCAA tournaments in his 16-year tenure there, but the school declined to renew his contract in 2005 after his arrest for drunken driving. Huggins spent a year away from basketball before taking the Wildcats' job after Wooldridge's firing in March.
Kansas State hasn't been to the NCAA tournament since 1996.
"I knew someone with his background would have the respect," Wright said. "I didn't expect him to get it turned around this fast, though. I thought it would take him a couple of years."
Huggins, as usual, shrugged and tossed off one-liners when asked about the resurgence of interest in the program, although he did allow himself a brief "Wow" when he saw a full house of more than two dozen media members for his news conference.
"I'm used to having two beat reporters," he said.
Huggins, who is conducting a round of clinics this week, has a different reason for being ready to start practice.
"I'm ready to stop traveling," he said. "I've got a thing to do tonight, one tomorrow, one Thursday night and then I'm done. I'm ready to go home and sleep in my own bed."
That said, Huggins wouldn't mind seeing Bramlage Coliseum packed Friday night when the team unveils its new look, including new uniforms.
"I would hope we have 13-5," he said, referring to the arena's capacity of 13,500. "I'm like Oral Roberts. I don't like to work to empty seats. It would be great to have the place filled. I think that would give our guys a shot in the arm."
The real excitement, junior swingman David Hoskins said, won't come until the season, which opens Nov. 11 against William & Mary.
But fan interest can only go so far, Hughes said.
"I want to prove to everybody that we're not just hvwe," he said.

Yankees manager stays despite loss
RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Joe Torre was in his office at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, about to give the media his season wrap-up, when general manager Brian Cashman walked in and handed him his cell phone.
George Steinbrenner was on the line.
"He has informed me that I will be here as his manager next year," Torre said about 15 minutes later.
And with that, Steinbrenner ended three days of speculation that followed his team's second straight first-round exit from the AL plavoffs.
Ever since Detroit eliminated the Yankees on Saturday, reports of Torre's imminent dismissal dominated New York media. When Steinbrenner left Monday to return to Tampa, Fla., he said he still hadn't made a decision.
Would he revert to his old ways, when he changed managers 20 times from 1973-95? Or would he stick with the revered Torre, who led the team to four World Series titles in his first five years but none in the six seasons since?
"Let's just say that he echoed support and commitment to having me go on in this job," Torre said.
talk in a statement issued through spokesman Howard Rubenstein, saying he told Torre: "You're back for the year. I expect a great deal from you and the entire team. I have high expectations, and I want to see enthusiasm, a fighting spirit and a team that works together. Responsibility is yours, Joe, and all of the Yankees.
"Yes, I am deeply disappointed about our loss this year," Steinbrenner added. "We have to do better, and I deeply want a championship. It's about time."
Steinbrenner recounted the
Since Saturday's loss, Steinbrenner spent his time listening to the advice of his top executives. On Monday, Torre spoke with him about 15-to-20 minutes, and told him: "If you feel in your heart a change has to be made, go ahead and do it." After that phone call, Torre said he felt more confident he would keep his job.
The most likely successor for the 66-year-old Torre was Lou Piniella, who served two terms as Yankees manager in the 1980s.
For two days, speculation about Torre's job ran nonstop. First he was out; then he was in.
Torre has led the Yankees to 11 consecutive playoff berths and nine AL East titles in a row, finishing in a tie with the Mets for best regular-season record this year at 97-65. But despite having baseball's

HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
You can listen to everybody, but
you shouldn't believe them all. Just
because you're honest and trustworthy
doesn't mean everyone is.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 6 Figure out what you want to accomplish. Pick an exciting goal, one that's slightly beyond your present ability to reach. But don't get wild; take it one step at a time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
You like to go along with what other people want. Every once in a while, however, you have to do what works for you. Like now.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 6
Don't make the mistake of thinking your input isn't needed. Without your contribution, the whole scheme will fall through.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
New complications arise, causing delays and confusion. You can fix the problem fast. This is why you get the big bucks.
Today is an 8 You're more of a leader than a follower. Remember that now.Listen to all the advice but make your decision on your own.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
ERIC DOBBINS
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 10
You want to jump the fence,to see what's on the other side. Restrain yourself; it could be a pen for something large and mean.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Figure out which of the other people's goals match yours. Instead of an argument, you can have a working team.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7
Stay calm, if at all possible. Let somebody else represent your position to those who need to be convinced. Be confident, and you'll ride out this storm.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 6
Speculation is running rampant, because nobody knows exactly what will happen. You're trying something different, so it's perfectly natural. But be careful.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Today is a 10.
It's OK if you haven't discovered all of the answers by now. It's more likely that new questions have been raised. Keep up the investigation.
PISCES (Feb.19-March 20)
Controversy breaks out, as the group tries to decide what's important and what's not. Tell them if they all pitch in, they can have it all.

Chiefs enjoy honors, shuffle players

New quarterback kicker are named players of week
DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City's Damon Huard, who has looked nothing like the journeyman quarterback he was supposed to be, was named AFC offensive player of the week Tuesday.
At the same time, Chiefs kicker Lawrence Tynes was honored as AFC special teams player of the week.
In another bit of good news for the Chiefs, coach Herm Edwards said wide receiver and kick return specialist Dante Hall could be ready this week for their game at Pittsburgh. Hall missed most of the second half last week with a hip injury, but apparently an MRI on Monday indicated nothing serious was wrong.
"Dante is a little bit sore, but I anticipate he'll be at practice," Edwards said.
Edwards also said left tackle Kyle Turley, who has missed the last two games with a stiff back, "was anxiously waiting to practice."
Quarterback Trent Green, who sustained a severe concussion Sept. 10 in the season opener, is feeling better, Edwards said, but remains out indefinitely.
Since Green was injured, Huard has hit 73-of-104 throws for 769 yards and five TDs. His 107.4 passer rating and 71.2 completion percentage both rank second in the NFL.
In a come-from-behind 23-20 victory Sunday at Arizona, he passed for 288 yards and two touchdowns. He did not have an interception.
His poise and production have wildly exceeded everyone's expectations for a career backup who hadn't started a game since 2000.
Now his continuing success is enabling the Chiefs to take all the time they think they need to get Green healthy and not to rush him.
"You never have enough good quarterbacks," Edwards said. "Damon has done a good job for us. Who would have ever imagined going into this season that our first two wins, Damon Huard would be quarterback? Probably nobody. Good for him. And good for this football team."
Huard is 2-1 so far as a starter in Green's absence. He has won the confidence of everyone in the Chiefs organization.
"I think Damon has gained confidence, and the team has gained confidence in him. I could see that in
the second half of the Denver game," Edwards said. "Now the players are thinking they have nothing to worry about with Damon. They're saying, 'It's time for us to start playing better. The quarterback is fine.'"
Tynes was 3-for-3 against Arizona, including a 19-yard game-winner with 1.36 to go. For the year, he's 8-for-9, fourth among AFC kickers with 32 points. He has combined with punter Dustin Colquitt to give the Chiefs one of the best tandems in the league.
The Chiefs also released defensive tackle Lional Dalton on Tuesday and called defensive back Michael Bragg off the practice squad. Dalton played fairly last year after signing as a free agent but lost his starting job and had not been active the past two weeks.
Bragg was needed to provide depth at cornerback with Benny Sapp sidelined by an injury.
The Chiefs also are getting near the time when they'll have to make a decision on running back Priest Holmes. The former Pro Bowler was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list at the beginning of training camp and still recovering from head and neck trauma that sidelined him the last nine games of 2005.
After the ninth week of the season, the Chiefs will have three weeks to decide whether to place him on the roster or list him as out for the year. He has remained at his home in San Antonio, where Chiefs president Carl Peterson said he has been working out but "not with a great deal of vigor."
NFL
Broncos release punter following suspension
PAT GRAHAM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Todd Sauerbrun may have taught Paul Ernster a little too well.
The Denver Broncos cut the veteran punter Tuesday, the day he was supposed to come back from a four-game suspension for using the banned dietary supplement ephedra.
The Broncos confirmed his release in a two-sentence press release, but team officials didn't respond to requests for more comments.
Sauerbrun, a 12-year veteran, gave pointers to Ernster during the offseason and even pumped him up after Ernster had knee surgery last season.
But Ernster kicked well in Sauerbrun's absence and earned the starting job. Ernster, a seventh-round pick in 2005 out of Northern Arizona, averaged 44.2 yards a punt in four games.
"That's the kind of guy Todd is," Sauerbrun's agent, David Canter, said of mentoring Ernster. "He doesn't regret it. Paul did a great job."
Money likely played a factor in the Broncos' decision to keep Ernster over Sauerbrun. Sauerbrun, who wasn't allowed to be around the team during the suspension, was scheduled to make $1.395 million this season, but lost $328,000 due to the suspension.
Ernster has two years left on his salary at the league minimum. He's making $275,000 this season.
The Broncos also couldn't afford to take the chance of another mistake by Sauerbrun, which would've resulted in a season-ending suspension.
Canter said the final decision had nothing to do with what Sauerbrun did on the field.
"If it had to do with winning football games, they would've kept him on the roster," Canter said. "He's one of the best. He's disappointed#He feels he could've been a catalyst on the team."
Sauerbrun said after testing positive for the supplement that he knowingly took an over-the-counter weight loss product this summer that he strongly suspected contained ephedra, which the NFL banned after the death of Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Korey Stringer during training camp in 2001.
Players are randomly tested and can be suspended after the first violation.
Sauerbrun came over from Carolina last season and averaged 43.8 yards a punt, won a player of the week award and even forced a fumble with a tackle against New England.

Geis' incident occurred at Meadowbrook Apartments, near 15th and Iowa streets, but several of the crimes, including a home invasion and a case of sexual battery, allegedly occurred near 12th and Louisiana streets.
CRIME
Student-filled neighborhoods attract violence
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Matthew Geis, Topeka junior, looked up from an Oct. 10 poker game at a Lawrence apartment as his friend answered a knock at the door. Another poker player was supposed to be arriving.
Instead, two men entered the apartment. One of them wrestled Geis' friend into a headlock, dragged him back into the apartment and put a gun to his head. Geis and his friends were being robbed.
Last weekend, Lawrence police and the KU Public Safety office continued investigating aggravated robberies and burglaries that victimized KU students.
Fabian Conde, Overland Park junior, lives in a house near the 1200 block of Tennessee. On Oct. 8, what Conde described as a "drunken fight" broke out during a party.
Conde normally leaves his front door unlocked and lets almost anyone inside to party and drink. Later that evening, seven to 10 men allegedly gained entry to Conde's house. Though Conde and his roommates said they had nothing to do with the fight earlier, the group of men demanded revenge for the brawl.
"One guy started swinging a bat," Conde said. "We got it away from him, but others started throwing fists. There were three of them on each of us."
The men allegedly smashed Conde's TV and kitchen table and threw a cinder block through the garage door.
Conde called the police but acknowledged that without insurance, there was little the police could do for his situation. He said the fight was the "stupidest thing that's ever happened" in his life.
"The sad part about it was that we were used to people going in and out," Conde said. "Now if we don't know you, we're not letting you in the house."

CRIME
Alleged rape victim gives testimony during preliminary hearing
BY DAVID LINHARDT
A 19-year-old McCollum Hall resident remembered the shock she felt when she woke up Aug. 27 about 2:30 a.m. with no pants or underwear on and a sharp pain between her legs.
The KU student recounted that moment and added further details at the preliminary hearing on Oct. 12 of Arrin Bernard, an 18-year-old McCollum resident charged with allegedly raping her earlier that night.
Bernard was charged Aug. 28 with having sex with the victim without her consent. The University Daily Kansan has a policy of not revealing the names of alleged victims of sexual assault.
The woman said she was asleep when the incident allegedly occurred, but that at least five or six friends were in the room watching a
movie while the incident may have occurred.
She had been taking vodka shots with those same friends earlier in the evening before the group went to a party on Tennessee Street about 9:30 p.m. She drank beer with her roommate at the party, and the group returned to McColum after midnight, she said.
Her memories were somewhat "fuzzy" until she fell asleep but when she woke up about an hour later, wearing only a tank top, the shock jolted her into alertness, she said. She had been lying on top of the blankets, but when she woke up she was underneath a blanket, she said.
The group may have decided to order pizza and watch a movie, the woman said. She said she lay down on her bed with Bernard and fell asleep as the movie began to play.

Football,men's basketball face restrictions for past violations
BY C.J. MOORE
Lew Perkins couldn't help but smile as he responded to reporters' questions about the sanctions the NCAA handed the University of Kansas last week.
His smile grew larger in response to a question about his predecessor, former Kansas Athletics Director A Bohl, who the NCAA said described his approach to college athletics in one statement to a KU compliance worker: "Compliance doesn't sell tickets."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said Bohl had never made that statement to him.
"I think you know what my response to that would have been," Hemenway told the assembled journalists.
Because of Bohl's disregard for compliance, the NCAA labeled the University as having a "lack of institutional control." But the sanctions the NCAA chose to impose amounted to little more than a slap on the wrist.
"The committee has been very fair with us," Hemenway said. "We trust the process, and we accept the committee's judgment."
The Kansas Athletics Department
walked away with three years of probation and lost three scholarships in football and lost a scholarship and eight paid on-campus recruiting visits for men's basketball over the next two seasons. The University will not appeal the decision.
The infractions committee accepted several of Kansas' self-imposed sanctions, including the already-served penalties by the women's basketball program that the committee deemed "wholly disproportionate" to the violations that were reported, especially as related

The article, published in a special section of the Rocky Mountain News, was accompanied by photographs from Todd Heiser, who also won a Pulitzer for his work.

Spotlight on Organizations
MEGAN HIRT
Debuting on campus this semester, Students for Fair Trade is already hard at work raising awareness about the importance and the impact of fair trade.
The fair trade movement helps disadvantaged farmers and artisans in developing countries earn sufficient wages by making their goods available on the international market.
KU students have previously been active in the movement through the Lawrence Fair Trade Commission, which operated on campus as a branch of Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
But Selena Self, Norman, Okla., Junior, and active member of the new organization, said that the desire
to involve a larger percentage of the student body in local fair trade efforts spurred the recent formation of Students for Fair Trade.
"If we became an official KU organization, then more students could be aware of what we do." Self explained.
Students for Fair Trade
Students for Fair Trade educates and motivates through campus-wide events that not only showcase fair trade goods, but also show the shortcomings of current international trade relations.
"The Hunger Banquet brings to life social inequalities," Self said of the upcoming event, at which participants are randomly assigned a new identity that designates them as a high-, middle- or low-income citizen for the evening. Sixty percent will be of the lower class, and their "banquet" will be meager portions of
Self said Hunger Banquets are powerful examples of social injustice, as participants experience first-hand the disparities that exist between the world's richest and poorest citizens.
rice and water, while the 15 percent in the high-class will feast comfortably on a 3-course meal.
Students for Fair Trade is partnering with Student Union Activities to host the banquet on Oct. 23 in the Kansas Union. Though similar events have occurred on campus before, Self hopes that collaboration with SUA and numerous other student groups will help bring a large turnout to this Banquet. Vouchers are required and available at the SUA box office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
Students for Fair Trade will be transforming the ECM building into a marketplace of fair trade goods
from November 24 to November 30. The Holiday Market will feature fair trade edibles and artwork originating from South America to Asia.
Self encourages students to get involved in the organization's grassroots initiatives that promote fair trade goods and push for international trade reform.
Students for Fair Trade meets every Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., at the ECM building. More information is available at www.lawrencefairtrade.org, and any questions can be sent to Selena Self, sssel@ku.edu.

Men stabbed at nightclub require medical attention
Two Lawrence men were stabbed early Friday morning at Liquid Bar and Nightclub, 804 W. 24th St.
William Mitchell, Mayetta sophomore, received several stab wounds to the torso, ear and neck. He received stitches and staples to more than a dozen stab wounds, and was released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital at 2 p.m. Friday.
William's older brother Edward Mitchell, a 21-year-old Haskell Indian Nations University student, was flown to KU Medical Center in
Kansas City, Kan., Friday morning by helicopter. Edward received several sets of stitches from the altercation, and was released Friday at 10 p.m., said William Mitchell.
Lawrence residents James Green, 19, and Harlan Masqua, 20, refused medical assistance at the scene, according to a Lawrence Police Department media release. Green later received stitches to an ear at Lawrence Memorial Hospital Friday afternoon.
Two men, ages 18 and 22, were found Friday morning two blocks from the scene and are being questioned by Lawrence police. Through interviews and reviews of a surveillance camera, the department has identified two other individuals involved with the altercation.

Raising concern about breast cancer awareness to be week's primary goal
Campus and community organizations will observe Breast Cancer Awareness Week this week to raise concerns about the illness and the importance of prevention at the University of Kansas.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said that many KU students and staff members might not fully realize the effects of the cancer. She said the disease can be treated if caught early.
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, along with the Watkins Health Center, Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority, will sponsor information tables on Wescoe Beach Monday, Thursday and Friday and in the Kansas Union Tuesday and Wednesday. The groups will also have a panel discussion with survivors at 8 p.m. Monday at the Gridiron Room in the Burge Union and a 5K run/walk through campus on Sunday.
It is $2 to participate in the run/walk, and Rose-Mockry said all proceeds would go to the greater Kansas City affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Rose-Mockry said that this is the first year that University groups will have a full week of events for Breast Cancer Awareness Week.

The KU Microgravity Team submitted three proposals to test a propulsion system for a small satellite, a docking mechanism and a lunar rover to a program sponsored by NASA.
Three teams of engineering students are submitting self-designed experiments to NASA for a chance to test them in zero gravity at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The teams, collectively known as the KU Microgravity Team, are submitting proposals to test a propulsion system for a small satellite, a docking mechanism and a lunar rover.
The teams will submit the experiments to the Reduced Gravity Flight Program sponsored by NASA. If selected, they would spend two weeks next summer testing their experiments in zero gravity.
Ben Parrott, Overland Park senior, participated in the program last summer and helped organize the teams for this year's proposals. His team last year designed and tested a cold gas propulsion system for a small satellite using compressed air and nitrogen.
Parrott said his team spent the first week of the program fine-tuning the experiment and preparing it to fly on the aircraft. The second week consisted of testing the experiments on an airplane in zero gravity.
To test their experiments in zero gravity, the team flew aboard a government research vehicle nicknamed
the "weightless wonder," a C-9 style aircraft that simulates a zero gravity environment.
The plane creates a zero gravity environment by flying in a parabola pattern. The planes follows a parabola pattern, and the steep descent creates a negative G-force and simulates a zero-gravity environment for about 30 seconds, and the pattern is then repeated.
The day before the experiments flew on the plane, Parrott said a team of NASA engineers, insurance observers and flight directors asked them questions and approved the project for flight.
Trevor Sorensen, associate professor of aerospace engineering and the team's faculty adviser, said the group originally proposed and had their experiment accepted by NASA in 2004, but didn't test it in the summer of 2005 because of problems with the zero gravity aircraft NASA used in the program.
Sorensen said this year's proposal was designed to overcome problems from last summer's experiments. He said the test plane interfered with the satellite's wireless controls and the team didn't get the full results they wanted from the experiment.
Aaron Terrell, Auburn, Ala.,
senior, is working on a different
proposal to create a space shuttle
Terrell said shape memory alloy was a combination of metals that can change shape, stiffness or position by stimulation from an electrical field or heat.
The molecular structure of the shape metal alloy is set in a certain shape, such as a straight bar. The alloy can then be bent out of its original shape, distorting the original molecular structure. When the alloy is exposed to an electrical current, it undergoes a molecular change that rearranges the alloy back into its original shape.
Terrell said the team designed a docking mechanism to use two different pieces of the alloy. One of the pieces would start out straight and then be coiled. When a space shuttle needed to dock, an electrical current would stimulate this piece, causing the metal to expand outwards towards the shuttle. Once the mechanism is attached to the shuttle, another piece of shape memory alloy, which was designed to do the exact opposite, will contract and pull the shuttle back towards the space station for docking.
The third proposal would test the capabilities of a lunar rover in reduced gravity. The lunar rover is the same idea in theory as the Mars Rover, but must be designed to function on the moon which is about one-sixth of Earth's gravity, where as martian gravity is about one-third.
Terrell said none of the team members receive class credit for the projects and all the work is done solely for the experience. Parrott said if not all of the proposals are accepted, the team members will be redistributed so everyone can participate in the program.

Even more than having the right motivation, though, Beck said he had to convince the two journalists that this story couldn't be written in days or weeks. It turned out, the story couldn't be written in months, either. What started as a story idea on Veterans Day 2004 finally saw print on Veterans Day 2005.
Getting that much time is not
possible for the average reporter, Temple suggested. Sheeler had that much time because he had earned it with his other stories and he had built trust with his editors, Temple said.

Bohl, as well as former Athletics Director Bob Frederick, left vacant positions in the compliance department throughout their tenures, despite funding being budgeted for those positions. Throughout their tenures, numerous secondary violations were found by the department, but not reported to the conference office or to the NCAA.
Gene Marsh, chairman of the NCAA Committee on Infractions, which determined the sanctions Kansas would face, gave tremendous credit to Perkins for enhancing the climate of compliance in the department and for discovering the previous violations. Marsh alluded to the fact that the Perkins hire may have lessened the sanctions Kansas faces.
effort — are clear indicators of a lack of institutional control," the NCAA wrote in its press release.
Perkins has increased the compliance staff to five employees since being hired in 2003.
When he arrived at Kansas, the compliance department included half a worker, Perkins said, because that person's duties were split between two departments.
"I did think it was unusual for a school this size to basically have a half person and we took immediate action to rectify that," Perkins said.
And Perkins was able to keep a smile on his face.
"He's made all the right moves since taking the job and he's helped the school a great deal in its compliance effort," Marsh said.
And instead of dropping its iron fists and possibly penalizing Kansas with post-season or TV bans, the NCAA chose to firmly slap Kansas on the wrist.

Kidman visits Kosovo as U.N. goodwill ambassador
PRISTINA, Serbia — Nicole Kidman is playing a role that has nothing to do with movies, touring Kosovo as a United Nations goodwill ambassador to the tense province.
"I'm here ... to learn so that I can
help your country at this crucial, crucial time for the future," Kidiman said after arriving Saturday, "to meet people, hear their stories and educate myself, and I suppose be a voice for you if you need it."
The actress was named goodwill ambassador of the U.N. Development Fund for Women, or UNIFEM, in January and the tour of Kosovo is her first visit in that role.
Kidman's two-day visit comes at a sensitive time as ethnic Albanians and Serbs are negotiating the status of Kosovo. Ethnic Albanians want full independence for the province of 2 million, while Serbia insists Kosovo should remain under its sovereignty.

Register your bike to deter thieves
Bike thieves have plagued campus again this semester and it's time for students to fight back by registering their bicycles with the Lawrence Police Department.
For 25 cents, Lawrence police will give you a sticker license to place on your bicycle. You get a copy of the registration, which includes your bike's serial number.
Bike licenses deter thieves. A smart thief will avoid stealing a bike with an affixed license. The license makes stolen bikes easier for police to identify, so police are more likely to catch criminals riding or transporting stolen bikes.
The license also makes selling a stolen bicycle more difficult. No one — pawn shop or otherwise — wants to buy stolen property easily identified as such.
If recovered by police, your

Sgt. Dan Ward, spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, says that people most often steal bikes for immediate transportation and dump them later. When Lawrence police recover a bike, they usually can't determine the bike's owner. The police recover more bikes than are reported stolen, Ward says, so they sell the unclaimed bikes at auctions.

Fans take college rivalries too seriously, act immature
PETER GROSSMAN

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
Muck Fizzou. You can't spell sucks without K-S-U. Is anyone else getting bored with this stuff?
School rivalry can be a good thing. A little emotion never hurt in making a game more exciting, but when we're yelling obscenities and trying to taunt the other team, you have to step back to realize that what we're doing is extremely corny.
Instead our taunts and T-shirts make us look really immature. Like four-year-old kids in the sandbox, we put down the other kids in an attempt to gain power over them. While the players on the field or court generally act civil, we junp up and down in the audience barking slurs, thinking what we do actually has an effect, when in reality it likely doesn't.
For starters, who are we? We're college students. Who are the players on the field or court? College students. So why are we trying to turn every game into some sort of gladiatorial event, yelling cheesy taunts in a weak attempt to frazzle the other team?
I find myself getting caught up in it, too. I can think of a few basketball games at which I stood brooding
I've been at basketball games when a fan of the opposing team was in the stands. A few disgruntled students took it upon themselves to start trash-talking the other person and, sadly, the other person fired back. I can't help but think how pathetic
this makes our school look. Just because they root for a different team, should we be bad-mouthing people who come to see a game in our fieldhouse?
At least we've stopped tearing down goalposts at
If you're going to taunt players and distract them, at least be original. Next time a player comes to the free throw line, yell out your favorite recipe for apple upside-down cake.
ously people take college rivalries, as if they were something of importance. I've had people badmouth me for the simple fact I attend the University of Kansas. How pathetic is that? Luckily, I've never felt the need to go. "Oh yeah, well the fact that you go to Nebraska means ... you suck!" Because at the end of the day, the fact we go to different schools means absolutely nothing. Why are we using it as fuel to start
football games. What kind of corny, barbary tradition was that?
Fan #1: "Dude! We won the game! What should we do?"
Fan #2: " ... Destrov the field!"
I'm happy that I've never seen a basketball game in which students ran onto the court and carried off the basketball goal. I've yet to hear of a golf tournament where a student ripped apart the bunker and then carried a piece of the fairway down Mass. Street.
Despite how corny this stuff is, it is really entertaining to see how seri-
a fire?
If you're going to attempt to taunt players and distract them, at least be original about it. There's nothing more boring than going to games and hearing students try the same tricks that never work. Next time a player comes to the free throw line
in a basketball game do something other than yell "You suck!" or "Miss it!" Instead, put some originality into it. Yell out your favorite recipe for apple upside-down cake. Or how about yelling out all the state capitals. I don't know about you, but that would really distract me.
So the lesson is simple: Enjoy the games. Bring some emotion to it. But all the childish insults should stop.

Creative costumes draw more attention
LAURENCE MCKINNEY
BY TERESA LO
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
In about two weeks, many of us will celebrate Halloween, a holiday characterized by delicious candy corn, carved pumpkins, and of course, slutty outfits worn by normally conservatively dressed ladies.
What do you want to be? A nurse? No, a slutty nurse. A police officer? No, a busy police officer. A kitten? No ... you get the idea.
This phenomenon was captured in Mean Girls when Cady states, "Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."
And it's true. Browse the racks of any Halloween store or online, and you will find that most female costumes show some obvious sex appeal. However, when all ladies dress sexy, they tend to blend in together and the entire point of looking hot and gaining attention is lost. For proof of this, look at any photo of Hugh Hefner and his league of blonde girlfriends. Sure, they are pretty, but when they are all together they all look the same.
That is why I propose that ladies try something new to get noticed this Halloween. I propose that they wear food costumes. After all, food ranks at the top of the list of some people's forbidden desires. There are a variety of cheap costumes that could be made. Dress up in red and wear a green hat. Strawberry! Tape purple balloons to your body. Grapes! You and your friends could show up as the Fruit of the Loom team!
For those who really want to go all out and get attention, dressing like a hot dog would really do the trick. I am sure a hot dog costume would be expensive, but the joy one would spread would be well worth the price. Imagine the dirty double-endentrees one, man or woman, would receive if they showed up at a party dressed up as a hot dog.
"Hey, baby. You want to see my weiner?"
"I can already see your weiner."
"Awesome."
The possibilities are endless.
The possibilities are endless.
Over all, I don't think there is anything wrong with dressing slutty on Halloween. I did it once my freshman year, and it was fun getting ready, taking pictures, and laughing with my friends. Yet, if one really wants to stand out, then don't be afraid to try something new. Be funny. Be scary. Sometimes those costumes are the most fun.

Identity theft creates problems for students, universities
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Jenni Henslee had some difficulty when she went to sign her lease last year. The credit check application she had filled out came back as someone else's social security number.
She was shocked.
The Shawnee junior thought she had written down the wrong number so she called her mom to make sure. The number was right. Someone had stolen her identity.
Police told Henslee that a woman had obtained her social security number when she was 16 and had used it for several years, destroying Henslee's credit. Henslee's social security number now has a red flag, making it difficult to do simple things like getting an apartment or getting her utilities turned on.
Through March 2006, 212 cases of identity theft have been reported
in Lawrence, said Sgt. Dan Ward of the lawrence Police Department
Universities and businesses are some of the groups most susceptible to breach. Jane Rosenthal, privacy coordinator and custodian of records at the KU Privacy Office, said that of those entities, 30 percent of breaches were institutions of higher education.
Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the U.S. for the sixth year in a row, said Todd Davis, CEO of LifeLock, an Arizona company that helps its customers avoid becoming the victims of identity theft. LifeLock is the biggest company of its kind.
Davis said there were 115 cases of data breach at 85 universities in the past 18 months. Davis added that two of those cases had occurred at the University of Kansas.
Rosenthal said one of those instances could have been when an unsecured page on a Department
of Student Housing Web site was breached last December, but she couldn't say for sure. Housing officials said at the time that none of the compromised information was accessed.
"You're 25 times more likely to have your identity stolen than your car stolen," Davis said. "We lock our cars, insure our cars; we need to do the same with our identities."
Davis said criminals can gain access to private information in a number of ways.
He said 50 percent of the time someone the victim does business with loses the information. About 16 percent of the time, credit card information is stolen by a waiter or bartender when a tab is opened and 16 percent of the time identity theft is from dumpster diving or digging through trash. The rest of the time, about 18 percent, a family member or friend steals the information.
On college campuses, databases can be hacked into to get information. Mail, especially pre-approved credit card offers, can be stolen. College students should also be careful what they put on popular social networks like Facebook and MySpace, Davis said.
The University has taken steps to alert students, faculty and staff to the dangers of identity theft and how to prevent it, including making anyone with a KU e-mail address change the password once a semester.
The Privacy Office was established in part to help educate the KU community about the dangers of identity theft and what to do if one's identity has been stolen. At www.privacyku.edu, students, faculty and staff can use the resources on the Web site to avoid becoming a victim of identity theft.
"We're taking a more global approach," Rosenthal said. "KU is
at the forefront of that. Not many universities have privacy offices yet."
Davis said anyone could avoid becoming a victim of identity theft. He recommended setting fraud alerts with any of the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian or TransUnion. Fraud alerts allow potential victims to monitor their credit reports and the company will let them know if any new accounts have been opened. Alerts last for 90 days and one company will notify the others if unusual activity is detected. He also recommends opting out of all pre-approved credit card offers by calling (888) 50PT-OUT. By doing that, one's name is removed from all lists bought by companies to obtain personal information for five years.
By doing those things, Davis said it would be difficult for criminals to use personal information if they gained access to it.
"It's unrealistic to think that
criminals can't get our information," Davis said. "The key is making that information useless."
Davis said if people set up fraud alerts and opt out of all pre-approved credit card offers, then identity theft would go away.
As for Henslee, she still has to send all of her personal information to the Social Security Administration to get her identity back. She's going to get a credit card to establish her own line of credit, but putting up with some of the headaches as a result of having her identity stolen is something she may have to deal with for the rest of her life.
"Hopefully, it will get better," she said.

University sanctions not a fatal matter
OKLAHOMA STATE 42, KANSAS 32
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHILLIPS@KANSAN.COM
A football program that recruited players who were not academically eligible. A basketball program that had gifts given to its players by boosters. An athletics director, Al Bohl, who said "compliance doesn't sell tickets"
Thursday should have been a bad day for the Kansas Athletics Department. Instead it was a bad day for the NCAA.
Collegiate sports' governing body was revealed to be toothless, doling out punishments that will barely be a speed bump to the different programs.
"Even though the reduction in scholarships is a serious matter, it's not a fatal matter" football coach Mark Mangino said.
Basketball coach Bill Self did his best to sell the sanctions as an inconvenience. He said that because the team brought all its recruits into town last weekend for Late Night, they might have seen the sanctions and been scared away.
But I don't think that's what they saw at all.
Edited by Kristen Jarboe
They saw a Kansas program that had a "lack of institutional control" get punished with the collegiate equivalent of a time-out
And they saw an Athletics Department that, from the top down, has the NCAA in the palm of its hand.
They saw an impotent NCAA organization refuse to take a stand against blatant cheating and fraud because it happened at a big-time, big-money school.
In August, the entire Kansas staff flew to Baltimore, sat in a room for eight hours in what women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson called a "scared-straight program," and tried to defend themselves against the allegations.
Ultimately, the crew was unsuccessful, and the NCAA deemed that Kansas had a "lack of institutional control" when the violations occurred. But that hearing wasn't the start of Kansas' problems. It was the end of them.
The loss of scholarships will have a negligible effect. Mangino's program, like most college-football programs, almost never operates at full scholarship capacity, and Self volunteered to take his scholarship loss next year, perhaps assuming that a certain Brandon Rush won't be using his.
At this point, Bill Self is like former president Bill Clinton after the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The only thing left for him to do is reenact the Saturday Night Live skit and announce that, "I ... am ... bulletproof".
By the time the dust had cleared Thursday night, you've got to wonder if he even believed his own words.
As for "probation," it's a fancy term that means, as Self put it, "one misstep, and you could be in a bad situation."
After all, NCAA, the next time you try to come after Self and the gang, you'd better bring kryptonite.

Jayhawks drop more than 600 yards in third-straight loss
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
After mastering the art of the close loss, Kansas found another way to cough up a lead.
This time, the collapse began shortly after halftime and didn't stop until the Jayhawks suffered one of their most head-shaking defeats in years.
Kansas continued its mid-season free fall Saturday, losing 42-32 to Oklahoma State. It was the team's third-straight loss, with the last two happening in Lawrence.
"We got outplayed," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "And we got out coached in some areas too. There's no question about it."
There certainly was no question that Kansas was outplayed in the second half. After shutting out Oklahoma State in the first two quarters, Kansas gave up 42 points and more than 300 yards of total
offense in the second half en route to one of the most disappointing losses of the Mangino era.
This week, the lajahwks didn't wait until the fourth quarter to start their implosion. It began shortly after the marching band left the field at the end of halftime.
Oklahoma State scored a touchdown on its second possession of the third quarter to cut the lead down to 10. The 54-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Bobby Reid to receiver Adarius Bowman was one of five times the duo would hook up for scores in the game.
The Cowboys went for and recovered an onside kick on the ensuing possession. It gave OSU the momentum for good and essentially set up another all-too-count Kansas collapse.
This time it wasn't conservative play calling or turnovers that doomed the Jayhawks — it was the
secondarv.
SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 5B
Despite the play of sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib, who broke up three passes and intercepted another, Kansas' secondary gave up 411 yards passing. Of those yards, 300 went to Bowman, smashing the Kansas school record of 231 yards for receiving yards by an individual opponent.
Just like Nebraska was able to torch Kansas' secondary for three deep touchdowns two weeks ago, Oklahoma State was able to do the same thing — and more. Five of the Cowboys' six touchdown passes were 25 yards or more. All five of those scoring passes went to Bowman.
"I've tried to find another way to sugarcoat it," Mangino said. "But we played poorly in all areas of pass defense."

Adarius Bowman set his Gatorade and KFC on the ground. Other than that, his hands held on to everything they touched on Saturday.
BY SHAWN SHROYER
When all was said and done,
Bowman, Oklahoma State's wide
receiver, had amassed 13 receptions,
300 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
All were personal bests, and
his receiving yards set Oklahoma
State and Big 12 records.
Although Bowman posted these statistics against the worst pass defense in the conference, he seemed to be the only person who couldn't believe what he'd achieved.
"I still don't really know what answers to give you," Bowman said when asked how he felt about his performance. "Man, it just kind of
happened."
His shock is believable. Only 10 other Division 1A receivers have ever roamed more freely through an opposing secondary. Bowman himself was four years removed from his last 300-yard performance, which came as a senior at Notre Dame High School in Chatanooga, Tenn.
Bowman had to sit out the 2005 season after transferring from North Carolina, so for Oklahoma State wide receivers coach Gunter Brewer, his pupil's big game was the culmination of all the hard work he put in to make Bowman a lethal offensive weapon.
"My adopted son had the day I've always been waiting for him to have," Brewer said of how close the

Players feel collegiate nostalgia; Sonics lose to Bulls in overtime
BY MARK DENT
Sunday's game at Allen Fieldhouse was meant to be a homecoming for Kirk Hinrinc and Nick Collison, but the Fieldhouse also brought back memories for Sonics guard Ray Allen as well.
"It's no different than Connecticut," said the former Husky. "You watch a lot of big games and see a lot of banners hanging in the building."
Allen's familiarity helped him lead all scorers with 22 points in a preseason overtime loss to the Bulls 110-105.
Allen recorded all of his points in only 23 minutes of action. The
6-foot-5-inch guard drove, pulled up and even hit a contested a three-point shot to score 12 in the opening quarter and another 11 in the third. Allen shot 7-for-11 from the field, 2-for-3 from three-point range and 6-for-6 from the foul line.
"I'm just trying to get in sync," Allen said. "I know I can score, but it's the other stuff I gotta work on." Seattle outscored Chicago in those periods, 57-54, but couldn't keep its in the fourth.
The Sonics stretched their lead to 92-87 after a Robert Swift lay up in the paint with 3:20 left to play but the Bulls used their superior reserves to come back.

Jayhawks shut out Cyclones, Tigers in weekend games
recap.
BY JEFF DETERS
The Kansas soccer team won its final regular season road games this weekend by defeating the Iowa State Cyclones 2-0 on Friday and the Missouri Tigers 4-0 on Sunday.
The victories improved the Jayhawks' record to 9-6 overall and 4-3 in the Big 12 Conference.
Against Iowa State, freshman forward Shannon McCabe and sophomore midfielder Jessica Bush each scored one goal. Coach Mark Francis was pleased with the team's offense, which had struggled in recent weeks.
"It's good for us to get a win and score more than one goal, which we haven't done in a while," he said.
Prior to Friday's game, the Jayhawks hadn't scored more than one goal in their six previous games.
Following the victory against Iowa State, Francis said his team needed to be ready for the Border Showdown.
"We need to show up Sunday and perform well against a good Missouri team," he said.
And Francis' team certainly did that, tying its season high with four goals against Missouri. Bush and freshman forward Monica Dolinsky led the Jayhawks with two goals each. Dolinsky also added an assist in the
game.
The Tigers had 18 shot attempts in the game, compared to only 10 from the Jayhawks, but Kansas goalkeepers sophomore Julie Hanley and junior Colleen Quinn had three saves each to stop the Tigers' attack.
Francis was pleased his team was able to finish the road schedule on a good note. and was hopeful that would carry into the final weeks of
the season.
The Jayhawks will return home Friday for a game against the Baylor Bears at 3 p.m. at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

NCAA implements penalties against three sports
BY C.J. MOORE
Men's basketball suffers after relationships with boosters
Darnell Jackson said he didn't know he was breaking any rules.
But the relationship that Jackson and former Jayhawk J.R. Giddens formed with booster Don Davis, along with graduation gifts from boosters given to graduating seniors from 2000 to 2004, led the NCAA to take away one scholarship from the men's basketball team for both the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons. Kansas must also forfeit eight paid, official, on-campus recruiting visits throughout the next two seasons.
The infractions committee decided to penalize the men's program as a result of Jackson accepting impermissible items, which included almost $4,500 in gifts, from Davis
and then competing for Kansas "while ineligible to do so, thereby conferring a substantial competitive advantage," according to the infraction committee's report.
While Jackson was still in high school, Davis befriended Jackson after finding out about his father's death years earlier. The relationship between the two continued past Jackson's enrollment at the University. Davis provided Jackson and his family transportation, meals and a loan for a car. On one occasion, Davis drove Jackson and his AAU coach to NCAA tournament games, where the University provided complimentary tickets as the two were listed as a guest of a player.
Jackson said he didn't realize he was breaking any rules at the time. He was suspended for the first nine
games of last season as punishment for his actions.
"It felt like they were telling me who I can be friends with and who I can't be friends with and who can be my role model in my life," the junior forward said. "It hurt a lot. It felt like when a parent has a baby and they take that baby away and you can never see him again."
Kansas' other infraction came from "graduation gifts" given to graduating seniors, a practice that had been going on since 1988. The gifts were cash ranging from $25 to $400 from multiple boosters.

The NCAA Committee on Infractions found the most to dislike in the football program at Kansas, taking away three scholarships for both the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons because of violations that occurred in the summer of 2003
— a summer football coach Mark Mangino would like to forget.
The committee found that while two prospective student athletes were taking a test they needed to pass in order to qualify academically in August 2003, a graduate assistant coach was looking up answers for them in a textbook. The NCAA also found that graduate assistants arranged for improper proctors for prospective student athletes who were taking exams to qualify for admission.
The problem for the football program, in the eyes of the committee, that it was relying too much on last-minute admission for numerous potential students.
"It's just too much to expect; too many miracles there," said Gene Marsh, chairman of the NCAA Committee on Infractions.
The problems for Mangino and the football program stemmed from the recruitment of numerous junior-college players who arrived on campus during the summer of 2003. Entering the summer, Mangino said he believed those players were on track to graduate and would be eligible for the fall semester. Slowly but surely, however, Mangino's recruiting class that summer began to unravel.
"It just kind of snowballed, and we had kids here stuck on campus," Mangino said.
He said some athletes were so far behind in credits that they were asked to return home, while others continued to take correspondence courses, trying to become eligible.
However, both the committee and KU officials said there was no reason to believe Mangino had any knowledge of the improper behavior.
The NCAA accepted a self-imposed punishment of accepting only three junior college players in both 2006 and 2007, along with the committee's additional sanctions

Violations from previous women's basketball coach still affect current team

BY C.J. MOORE
The self-imposed penalties against the women's program were the loss of two scholarships during the 2005-06 academic year, and Kansas was allowed to have only two coaches recruit off campus instead of three.
Unlike the football and men's basketball programs, the NCAA found the women's basketball program at Kansas had suffered enough as a result of the University's self-imposed sanctions.

Rick Evrard, the University's counsel on matters relating to NCAA rules violations, said the former coaches would not initially answer questions during the investigation, which led to the Athletics Department's decision to place the program on probation.
mittee deemed "disproportionate" to the infractions committed, came as a result of secondary violations by the previous coaching staff, led by longtime-coach Marian Washington. The most serious violation included transportation given to a prospective women's basketball player to an on-campus testing site by former assistant coach Tim Eatman in the fall of 2002.
"We said, 'we're going to take the high road here and we're going to conclude that violations occurred,'" Evrard said.
Because of the "disproportionate" penalties tag. given to the women's program and the additional sanctions placed on the men's program, Hemenway became worried of the public's perception of the University.
"It handcuffed us a little bit, but it didn't kill us," she said.
Kansan staff writer C.J. Moore can be contacted at cjmoore@kansan. com.
Despite not being involved in any of the infractions, current women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson had to deal with the penalties last season.
"Yesterday when the chancellor had the opportunity to read this report, probably his most violent reaction was 'someone's going to perceive that we've treated men's basketball differently than women's basketball.'" Evrard said, "because the language in the report says there was wholly disproportionate penalty to women's basketball as there was to men's basketball."

Kansas sweeps K-State

Brittany Williams' English class had to fill the Atiana freshman in on the Kansas-Kansas State rivalry before Wednesday's volleyball match.
The middle blocker's play against the Wildcats made it seem like she knew more about the intrastate rivals as she led Kansas to its first ever victory against Kansas State in the sold-out Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Williams finished with a career-high and team-high 19 kills.
The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats in a four-game match, 26-30, 30-26, 30-28 and 30-20. It was the first time Kansas has defeated Kansas State in Lawrence since 1994.
In game one, Kansas State came out swinging and put Kansas into a corner. The Jayhawks never led, as the Wildcats got off to a strong start. Kansas State won the first game by four.
"It was kind of like two boxers feeling themselves out in the first game," Kansas coach Ray Beard said. "We didn't counter punch very well."
The Jayhawks first lead of the match didn't come until game two when they led 17-16. Kansas won the game on a block by senior outside hitter Megan Hill.
Bechard said instant points, like blocks and aces, are something his team had been working on in the past couple of weeks.
The Jayhawks squeaked by the Wildcats in game three, winning by two. Correa led the team with four kills, including the game-winning kill just inside the baseline.
The Jayhawks finished the match with an 8-3 run in game four. Kansas hit a match-best .326, committing just three errors.
With the victory, the Jayhawks snapped a five-game losing streak,
while holding the Wildcats winless in conference play.
"This is where we turn our season around," Emily Brown, junior right-side hitter, said. "Being at home and wanting to keep K-State winless, it all came together."

To send the Bears back to Waco, Texas, the Jayhaws ended the match with two kills from Correa. She had a .351 hitting efficiency, committing only three errors in the match.
"Baylor is a good team having their struggles right now," Bechard said. "The Jayhawks are starting to move in a different direction and that was the difference tonight."
"We knew if we won this game, we're right back in the hunt for the NCAAs," junior opposite hitter Emily Brown said. "We were ready to turn the season around."
Kansas has a week off until it travels to Texas A&M (9-8, 2-7) on Saturday. Bechard has had success against the Aggies in Lawrence, however, he has never won at College Station in his nine years at Kansas.
After beating K-State Wednesday and Baylor Saturday, Bechard is looking forward to the extended break preparing for A&M.
earlier in the day, Brown said the team wanted to make it a good weekend to be a Jayhawk.
Brown finished with 13 kills and a team-high 12 digs.
"It is easier to get their attention and get them motivated," he said, "because they are feeling good about how things are going right now."
The women's volleyball team celebrate after an ace point was scored against Kansas State on Wednesday night at Horejsi Family Athletic Center. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats in four games.
A frightening moment marred the Jayhawks' game-two victory. Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, dove for a ball and hit her head on the bench.
Kansan sportswriter Drew Davison can be contacted at ddavison@ kansan.com.
"I wasn't looking at the chair, I was just trying to get the ball," she said. "It hurts a lot."
Correa continued to compete after the crash without sitting out. She led the team with a match-high 16 kills.
The volleyball players resurrected their postseason hopes with a sweep against Baylor Saturday night in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Kansas (10-9, 3-7 Big 12) swept Baylor (13-8, 2-7) with scores of 30-23, 30-27 and 30-24. It was the first time the Jayhaws swept a conference team this season.
With a victory against in-state rival Kansas State Wednesday, Kansas won its first back-to-back games since early September.
"We had a lot of confidence coming out after K-State," senior outside hitter Megan Hill said. "Everyone is playing together, and everyone is excited. We move up three spots from that one win, so it was huge for us."
Edited by Kate Shipley
The Jayhaws moved from dead last in the Big 12 standings at 11th (Oklahoma State doesn't have a program) up to eighth place — ahead of Texas A&M, K-State and Baylor.
Kansas never trailed in game one against Baylor, winning by seven. The Jayhawks had four serving aces, including two from freshman libero Melissa Grieb to win the game. It was the first time in ten matches that the Jayhawks won their first game. Kansas coach Ray Bechard said winning game one was important for his team because it makes it tough for the opponent to bounce back, especially on the road.

Cowboy breaks coach's old record
BY SHAWN SHROYER
1989. Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy burned Kansas for a school-record 434 total yards of offense as the Cowboys' starting quarterback, leading Oklahoma State to its fourth victory of the season.
Keeping with tradition, the Jayhawks allowed another Cowboy quarterback to dominate them as Oklahoma State won its fourth game of the season. It was sophomore quarterback Bobby Reid who did it this Saturday, racking up 457 total yards of offense, breaking Gundy's record.
Gundy was stoked about his team's comeback victory, but a little disappointed that his record had been surpassed.
"Total offense, he did? That stinks," Gundy said. "I didn't know that. If I did, I wouldn't have called that last pass play."
Of course, the victory in 1989 was Oklahoma State's last one of the season. The Cowboys hope that won't be the case in 2006.
With a tough schedule — including Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma — left to play, a loss on Saturday would have crushed Oklahoma State's postseason hopes. Senior offensive lineman Corey Hilliard said plans for making a bowl appearance after a loss to Kansas would have only left one hopeful mindset.
Gundy said his team would also find confidence in seeing how much it had improved from its 4-7 record a year ago.
Instead, Hilliard said overcoming a 17-point deficit to beat Kansas on the road had boosted Oklahoma State's confidence, which will carry into the second half of its schedule.
"Our team is better," Gundy said. "They've come a long way, because they believe in themselves and know they're a better football team."
Kansan sportswriter Shawn Shroyer can be contacted at sshroyer@ kansan.com.
"It would have been wishful thinking," Hillard said.

Jayhawks earn below average midterm grades
PETER CHEEK
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHILLIPS@KANSAN.COM
Now that were at the midway point in the season, it's time to give a progress report on how the team is faring so far. Remember that if your grade is below a C, you must have your parents or legal guardians sign and return this form.
OFFENSE: Kerry Meier and Jon Cornish have both looked terrific when playing at full health. Unfortunately, the two have only done that together once, and that was the first game of the season. Injuries continue to plague the unit, and Cornish took his turn limping off the field on Saturday, although perhaps he was just trying to disassociate himself from the spectacle. As in, "Cornish is listed as day-to-day with a strained dignity." His health and the Jayhawks' hopes are intertwined. Grade: B+
DEFENSE! Ahh, where to begin?
Let's start with defensive tackle
James McClinton's reaction when
asked what giving up 600 yards does
for morale.
"600 yards?" he asked, sounding surprised.
Yes, the numbers shocked even the Kansas defense, which apparently wasn't debriefed on just how lopsided the battle was.
Don't look for the problems to get any better. Aqib Talib can cover only half the field, leaving a spot that must be filled by a freshman. Much like with the Reid-Floodman-Kane defense of three years ago, it will take time for the young players to mature. Until then, Jayhawk fans can only dream of what the unit
might have been with Talib and Charles Gordon on opposite sides of the field. Grade:D-
SPECIAL TEAMS: Kicker Scott Webb has performed well, converting on almost every opportunity he has had. The same cannot be said, though, of punter Kyle Tucker, who can be safely crossed off your award-watch list. On the plus side, hes not out punting his coverage. Grade: C+
COACHING: Mark Mangino and friends need to do something about how badly the Jayhawks get pummeled in the fourth quarter. Opponents have scored a combined 32, 29 and 40 points against Kansas in the first, second and third quarters, respectively. In the fourth quarter, they've put 69 points on the scoreboard. And that doesn't count the 13-0 that the Jayhawks have been out scored in overtime.
Senior running back Jon Cornish had his worst game of the season, though his performance can be attributed to an undisclosed Injury. He had 55 yards on 10 carries. Cornish was seen sitting alone on the bench for most of the second quarter.
Phillips is a Wichita senior in Journalism. He is Kansan sports editor.

Perhaps some of that lies in the fact that once the Jayhawks take the lead, they get more conservative than Fox News. At the start of Saturday's game, offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro called seven runs and 10 passes. After the Jayhawks went up 14-0, he went with 13 runs and six passes until the Cowboys took the lead, at which point he switched right back. No consistency means no results. Grade:D
Edited by Catherine Odson
The postseason is almost certainly out, with Kansas needing a miracle on the road against Baylor, Iowa State or Missouri. However, this is as good a time as any to right the ship for next year. A little excitement wouldn't hurt, either. I've got better ways to experience boredom than paying $10 for a football ticket.
The ugly game overshadowed the successful return of freshman quarterback Kerry Meier from an undisclosed injury
In his first start in nearly a month, he showed no ill effects of the injury he suffered against Toledo. Meler was 15-for-27 passing for 187 yards, with three touchdowns and an interception. On the ground, Meler rushed for
70 yards on 20 carries.
Kansas has now lost two home games in a row for the first time since the 2004 season. Saturday's attendance, 41,203, was the smallest crowd at a conference game since the game agzinst Texas two years ago.
"Overall, some of the things I did in the first three games, I think that I overcame those," Meier said. "I have learned from them, and I executed this time."
Despite giving up more than 600 yards, Kansas still has not allowed a 100-yard rusher since the loss to Texas in 2004.

Brian Murph, senior wide receiver, dives for yardage during the first half of the game against Oklahoma State Saturday. Murph caught three passes for 22 yards during the game.
BOWMAN (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Despite Kansas running coverages that Oklahoma State wasn't prepared for, Cowboy receivers found holes in the secondary with ease.
Kansas might have overlooked Bowman, who entered Saturday as Oklahoma State's leading receiver, but he certainly had coach Mark Mangino's attention when the game was done.
Bowman said Kansas ran a Cover 2 on the game film they watched during the week, but on Saturday they mainly covered quarters of the field. Nevertheless, Brewer said his receivers came up to him throughout the game with routes the defense was leaving open.
"He gets my vote for the Heisman," Mangino said.

It wasn't as if the troubles in the secondary came as a surprise to Kansas' coaches. Mangino said the defensive coaches had tried to find ways throughout the season to cover up their problems in the secondary. The problem Saturday was that Oklahoma State made all those changes irrelevant. There was no hiding the Jayhawks' lack of experience and coverage problems.
FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"We gave them a scholarship to play here," Mangino said. "You've got to be ready to play, whether you're a freshman, redshirt freshman or senior"
against the Cowboys.
Kansas gave up 603 yards of total offense Saturday. It was the most yards given up since last season's blowout at Texas. In that game, the Longhorns racked up 617 yards against the Jayhawks' nationally ranked defense.
Despite his team's youth and relative inexperience in the secondary, Mangino said he refused to use it as an excuse for its performance
With the loss, Kansas drops to 3-4 on the season and 0-3 in the Big 12. To qualify for a bowl game, the Jayhawks will have to win a game on the road, which hasn't happened since 2004.
"I'm still thinking about the postseason," junior defensive tackle James McClinton said. "As a team, I believe we're going to step up to the occasion and fight."

IT WAS OVER WHEN...
Associated Press
OSU quarterback Bobby Reid threw a 64-yard touchdown to wide receiver Adarius Bowman midway through the fourth quarter. Kansas had scored a touchdown seconds earlier to cut the Oklahoma State lead to three, but the Cowboys' touchdown was the back breaker. Reid's fourth touchdown pass of the game put the Cowboys back up by 10 points.
GAME BALL GOES TO...
Quarterback Kerry Meier
showed no ill effects of the undisclosed injury that sidelined him for Kansas' three previous games. Meier finished the game 15-for-27 passing for 187 yards, with three touchdowns and an interception. On the ground, Meier rushed 20 times for 70 yards.
much of the season, Saturday was definitely its lowest point of the season. The Jayhawks' pass defense ranks at the bottom of the conference — and for good reason.
GAME TO FORGET...
STAT OF THE GAME.
Kansas' secondary gave up 411 yards passing, including 300 yards to Bowman. The Cowboys also had five touchdowns through the air. While Kansas' secondary has been suspect for
The Cowboys scored 42 points in the second half. It was the most points the defense has allowed this season. OSU scored touchdowns on four straight possessions in the second half to erase a 14-point halftime deficit.

Anna Katherine Marquette, 3, cheers with a KU cheerleader's pompoms during the game against Oklahoma State Saturday afternoon. Marquette attended the game with her mom and dad.
UP ORDOWN
The Kansas defense allowed Oklahoma State to gain more than 600 yards. Can the defense get it together and shut down Baylor or will it be another down week for the ‘Hawks?
The defense looked helpless in the second half Saturday, and the Jayhawk secondary will be overwhelmed again this week against Baylor. Bears quarterback Shawn Bell ranks second in the Big L2 in passing yards, and four Baylor players have at least 25 receptions already this year.
— Kyle Carter
The Kansas defense really has no place to go, but up following a dismal second-half showing against the Cowboys. Baylor likely will not have anyone that creates the matchup problems that Adarius Bowman gave the Jayhawks on route to 300 receiving yards. It’s gut check time for the Jayhawks, who desperately need a win against an improved Baylor squad.
— Kayean Sarat
Kerry Meier was supposed to be the inexperienced question mark. The offensive line was supposed to have put it all together and been the rock of the offense. Instead, Meier is being forced out of the pocket regularly by four man rushes. If the Kansas line doesn’t improve immediately against a fast and active Baylor defense, Kansas fans are going to see more of the same.
— Erick R. Schmidt
Bad reputation or not, Baylor may possess too much firepower for the Kansas defense to handle. Under the supervision of quarterback Shawn Bell, the newly minted Baylor spread offense has been surprisingly potent to this point in the season. Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, Aqib Talib is the only member of the secondary who has shown any consistency, but Talib can only cover one receiver at a time.
— Acher Fusco
At this point the team has no other choice but to get it together. Mangino and the Jayhawks have been finding new ways to lose for the last three weeks and they will eventually snap out bit. The team is realing and Mangino has to find a way to erase the past and focus on getting a victory against Baylor.

NBA (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Guard Andre Barrett scored to cut Seattle's lead to three, and then Victor Khryapa took over. The 6-foot-9-inch Russian hit a three-point shot to tie the game at 92 and then answered Seattle forward Damien Wilkins' three-point play with another game tying three-pointer. Khryapa scored 13 points for the game and the Chicago's bench out-scored Seattle's bench 66-51.
"Ithought Victor was outstanding," said Bulls coach Scott Skiles. "He made a couple of big shots."
A minute later, a Chicago's Tyrus Thomas made an even bigger shot with his team down 98-96. Andre Barrett took the ball up the court with 13 seconds left and found Khryapa at the top of the key. Khryapa then swung the ball to a wide-open Thomas with six seconds on the clock. The rookie Thomas didn't even hesitate before sinking a jumper just in front of the three-point arch to send the game into overtime.
Thomas, who finished with 12
points, saved the game again in the
extra period by icing the game with a free throw to put Chicago up for good 110-105. Not all the players were thrilled at having to play five more minutes.
"There's nothing worse than an overtime game in exhibition," Skiles said. "Except, it's nice to get some end of game stuff with Tyrus out there."
Although Allen said he would have liked to be on the floor with the game on the line, the 10-year veteran had no problem leaving the outcome in the hands of the younger players.
"In these situations you don't want to take away from the guys trying to make the team," Allen said.
Former Missouri guard Kareem Rush also sued up for the Sonics. Rush, who isn't guaranteed a roster spot, didn't play because of a groin injury.

two Final Fours in that time span.
On Sunday afternoon nearly 13,000 fans showed up to watch an NBA preseason game between Hinrich's Chicago Bulls and Collison's Seattle SuperSonics.
"It's probably the most exciting preseason game I've ever played." Hinrich said. "For that many people to show up, it's great to see all those fans here."
Fans made their feelings for the returning Jayhawks felt early in the game. Hinrich committed a foul less than 10 seconds into the game and boos rained down. A basket or good play for either player drew the loudest cheers.

The game was the first time that either Collison or Hinrich had returned to the fieldhouse floor wearing anything other than Jayhawk blue. It also marked the first of several times that the two and their teams will meet throughout the season.
"It was kind of weird being here with a different group of people," Collison said. "Two separate parts of my life kind of combined."
Emotions aside, both Hinrich and Collison said the game itself wasn't pretty. The two combined for seven turnovers. Sloppy play aside, the duo gave Kansas faithful plenty of reasons to cheer.
Collison finished the game with 12 points and 10 rebounds in 27 minutes of play. He left the game midway through the third quarter with cramps and did not return. Hinirch had 11 points and four

assists in 27 minutes.
Despite playing on opposing teams, Hinrich and Collison enjoyed taking the court in front of the fans who supported them throughout their collegiate careers.
"It's nice to feel appreciated," Hinrich said. "Kansas fans, they're great. They're diehard and I appreciate them a lot more than they appreciate me, probably."

Dancing highlights season premiere
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Before Late Night in the Phoga sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said the team's goal for this season was to stick together.
And while the Jayhawks kept in step surprisingly well during their pre-scrimmage dance routines, they didn't appear to be on the same page during the scrimmage.
On a night that included Big and Little Jay playing '80s video games and a parody of Dancing with the Stars, it was the men's rusty scrimmage that stood out.

Coach Bill Self, who doubled as a judge during his team's Dancing with the Stars presentation, was pleased by his players' dance moves, but not as much with their performance during the scrimmage.
light, but I thought it was pretty funny."
Russell Robinson, junior guard, goes up for a shot against the red team during the Late Night in the Phog Friday night. Robinson scored two points during 19 minutes of playing. The men's basketball scrimmage concluded Late Night.
"Certainly wasn't our play," Self said of the highlight of his night. "I think our guys actually did a pretty good job dancing with the young ladies. I don't know if that's a high-
Former Kansas point guard Aaron Miles and Danny Manning, director of student-athlete development, joined Self on the panel to judge the freshmen, sophomore and junior dance routines, which were all accompanied by Rock Chalk Dancers.
The freshmen led off the competition with the jive. Self called them "naturals," but the freshmen earned the low score of 26 out of 30.
In their second Late Night appearance, the sophomores' tango took second place with a score of 27. Self offered the most encouragement to sophomore Gunn Brennan Bechard.
"Brennan, they were no better than you a year ago, so you can see what a difference a year makes," Self said.
As expected, the competition was the juniors' to win. Dancing the waltz, they took first with a score of 29.
Following a strong showing in dancing shoes, expectations were
high for the scrimmage
Some players looked good in their first action of the season, but as a whole, the team showed much room for improvement.
Collins may not have posted the most impressive statistics, but his quickness, passing and hustle didn't go unnoticed.
"I hit a free throw, so I was all right after that. If I didn't make the free throw, I would have been a lot more nervous."
"I thought Sherron, without question, was one of the best players out there," Self said. "He makes things happen."
After 11 minutes of the 20-minute scrimmage, the teams were deadlocked at 13-13. However, the red team, led by juniors Darnell Jackson and C.J. Giles, pulled away for the 26-23 victory, leading by as many as seven points down the stretch.

"Kelly Kohn has been as competitive as I thought she would
Freshman Kohn revels in spotlight
One player who might play a large role in that is freshman guard Kelly Kohn. She is one of seven freshmen on the team and led the white team with four points.
BY JEFF DETERS
Fans cheered as they watched her exit the car and make her way to center court. Henrickson then gave high praise to the large crowd in attendance.
"You are the reason Allen Fieldhouse is the best place to play basketball in the world," Henrickson said.
The women's basketball team got its season off to a roaring start Friday at Late Night when coach Bonnie Henrickson made her entrance into Allen Fieldhouse driving a red Ferrari.
The layhawk defense was strong early, especially sophomore forward Marija Zinic. She pulled down a game-high four rebounds. Henrickson said at this point the team's defense is ahead of the offense, but she hoped the offense would improve over the season.
Fans roared in response, and then watched the women perform a dance and later play a scrimmage. The blue team defeated the white team by a score of 15-11. Senior guard Shaquina "Shaq" Mosley and freshman guard Lindsay Ballweg each scored five points to lead the blue team.
"I thought the upperclassmen came out with a better rhythm than the freshmen did," she said. "The freshmen might have been a little nervous."
be," she said. "She in that freshmen class has probably exhibited the most leadership of that group. She doesn't mind walking up to somebody and saying were going to be better than that today. And I like that."
Last year as a recruit, Kohn made an official visit to campus and experienced her first Late Night.
"I was definitely sold," she said. "The whole atmosphere of all the people in here and how passionate all the fans are — to support KU basketball — it's something that I really wanted to be involved in."
The freshmen also spent a considerable amount of time practicing the funky dance the team performed at Late Night. Kohn thought the队 danced very well but Henrickson thought one group stood out.
"It it was so much fun," Kohn said. "It seems like it lasted for like 10 seconds, but it was worth every second of it. And I can't wait to do it again next year."
While a few nerves were to be expected, Kohn said Late Night was still a great experience.

Richard Dawkins, evolutionary theorist and ethologist, speaks during his lecture about his most recent book, "The God Delusion," Monday in the Lied Center. He discussed reasons intelligent design was false and showed humorous slides including ones delivering the stork delivering babies to Kansas. He will speak at 9 this morning at the conference hall in the Hall Center for the Humanities.
Author criticizes intelligent design
BY DARLA SLIPKE
God is a delusion, said one renowned ethologist and evolutionary biologist during a lecture at the Lied Center Monday night.
"You can't disprove God just like you can't disprove the flying spaghetti monster or fairies, but the likelihood that intelligent design exists is low". Richard Dawkins said.
Dawkins, author of "The God Delusion," discussed this subject as part of the Humanities Lecture Series and the Difficult Dialogues.
Lines of people extended outside the Lied Center doors waiting to listen to Dawkins and included those who agreed with his convictions and those who rejected them, but still wanted to hear his arguments.
"A lot of people might not agree with him," said Leonard Kristalka, director of the Biodiversity Institute
and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
About one third of the audience remained seated when Dawkins was given a standing ovation at the end of his speech.
The theory of intelligent design has no evidence of its own, Dawkins said. It thrives on gaps, which people attribute to God.
"It explains nothing except for something larger that is in need of more explanation," Dawkins said. "Lucky chance could never be enough to explain the lush diversity of life."
Dawkins said that natural selection was the only workable solution for such mysteries. Natural selection not only explained the whole of life, but it also raised consciousness, he said.

Cancer survivors share struggles
Seated before a large crowd of KU students, Amy Laughlin, Sarah Watts and Julie Cowdin shared the stories of their personal struggles with breast cancer.
The event was organized to raise awareness of breast cancer and to inform the audience, "college students in particular," that breast cancer could affect anyone, regardless of age and family medical history. All of the survivors who spoke Monday night were diagnosed with cancer before age 40, including one who was diagnosed at age 25.
The panel discussion was in the Burree Union.
Laughlin was diagnosed 10 years
ago, at age 28, while pregnant with her second child.
The chemotherapy and subsequent radiation treatments left her weak.
Laughlin discovered a lump and thought it was a peculiar deformation on her breast. She mentioned the lump to her gynecologist, assuming it had something to do with breastfeeding. She was diagnosed and underwent surgery to remove the tumor.
"For the first six months of my daughter's life I was completely out of it." Laughlin said.
She completed therapy many times, thinking she had beaten the

United States Census Bureau expects to achieve milestone mark today
America: Pop. 300 million
BY MARK VIERTHALER
It will happen today about 6:45 a.m.
The 300 millionth American will be born. Or he or she will cross the border. The United States Census Bureau isn't exactly sure how it will happen, but it is sure it's going to be today.
The bureau has said in recent weeks it could predict the arrival of the landmark number based on three statistics: Someone is born in the U.S. every seven seconds. Someone dies every 13 seconds. An immigrant enters the nation every 31 seconds. Both legal and illegal immigrants are counted in population tallies.
This amounts to a net gain of one person every 11 seconds.
These three statistics have led the bureau to predict that number 300 million would appear today. A
population clock can even be seen on the Web site www.census.gov racking up the people in real time.
Meredith Kleycamp, assistant
Meredith R professor of sociology and social demographer, said one of the hardest things for demographers to figure out was whether landmark population numbers would come

from newborns or immigrants.
"It's highly likely it's going to be an illegal or legal immigrant," Klevcamp said.
The last milestone -- 200 million
Although population is still driven by birth, a large number of those births are from immigrants to the United States. Kleycamp said.
assigned Woo the title because he was born at the exact time the Census Bureau had predicted number 200 million would show up. A recent study released by the Center
In 2005, Kansas had a reported

population of 2.7 million. The Kansas population is up almost 22,000 people from 2000. The United States itself increased from about 280 million in 2000 to 300 million today.
This means the likelihood of the 300 millionth person either being born or immigrating into Kansas is relatively small, Klevcamp said.
She said it was likely by the 400 million mark that Kansas will become more central to the discussion. As the South and West Coast fills up, more people will start to gravitate to the Midwest, she said.
Until then, Kleycamp said, the biggest population factor affecting Kansas is the influx of immigrants, not births.

LAWRENCE 'Suspicious' body found in rural Douglas County
Investigation continues into the death of a 28-year-old Lawrence man whose body was found early Sunday morning.
Anthony J. Vital was found dead in rural Douglas County near the 700 block of U.S. Highway 40, according to a news release.

Vital does not own the car, though Wempe said the car was not necessarily connected to potential suspects. The car was not used to strike Vital, she said.

ELECTION 2006 Decide for yourself
★★★
Candidates address issues relevant to students
In an effort to inform students about the general election on Nov. 7, The University Daily Kansan asked state legislators and candidates about issues such as higher education, the University's deferred maintenance, the environment and health care.State legislators are responsible for approving bills and budgets proposed by the governor or its members Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence) and Republican challenger Rick Davis, a KU student, are running against one another to represent the 44th District.The 44th District covers west-central Lawrence.Paul Davis (D-Lawrence) and Libertarian Marc Kirby, KU junior, are running for the 46th District, which covers an area in north-central Lawrence.
The remaining Lawrence district candidates and officials will be featured later this week.
BY ERIN CASTANEDA 44th District
Ballard is the incumbent representative. She is also the University Administrator for the Robert J.Dole Institute of Politics and a KU faculty member. She worked on the Lawrence school board for eight years.
Davis first attended the University of Nebraska at Kearney where he started the school's first College Republican organization. He is currently a University of Kansas junior majoring in political science. He plans to attend law school at the University.
Higher Education
Ballard: The problem we have is that on the federal level, we are not getting as much financial aid as we were. There has been some talk by the Board of Regents that when students come in as freshmen, their tuition costs would stay the same. I would be in favor of that so families can better plan for college.
Davis: It's the most important thing we have and my highest priority. I plan to implement a Welfare to School program that is designed to get people into school instead of working at fast-food restaurants. When you look and see our welfare program, we are encouraging people to get a job, but six months down the road they are looking for another one. I want them to go back to school to get educated, get a job so they can provide for themselves
and not return to the system. I want them to be able to afford school through their senior year too.
Deferred Maintenance
Ballard: The Board of Regens has to develop a plan for deferred maintenance and they plan to really talk about it this year. Several years ago they submitted a plan for "Crumbling Classrooms." It was a $160 million plan we did pass. I believe the Lawrence campus received $44 million from that. Since then, there have been more and more problems, and that money still hasn't taken care of everything. I would vote for it and talk with other legislators about why this is important.
Davis: We need to take an active look at funding deferred maintenance because it's just going to add up and get worse. The state has a responsibility to do that.
Environment
Ballard: I would be looking at renewable energy, things you can recycle, wind energy and how you conserve energy. If there is an energy bill out there and it would help Kansas, yes, I would be in favor of that. But people need to be educated too, so they know what they can do in their homes that doesn't take a lot of money to implement. It's about passing bills, but it's also practicing good energy techniques.
Davis: One thing that is great is to look at things like renewable energy, simple things that can be done to save money in the long run. It's important to provide incentives and
get people to look at those options because we definitely don't have an endless supply.
Health Care
Ballard: Most college students are covered until they are 23 years old under their parents' insurance and can go to Watkins Health Center for health care. For students, their best bet is to stay in school or get a job that would give them benefits because health care is extremely important. But your state just can't cover you unless there's a universal health care plan. Massachusetts was the first state to pass a universal plan and now other states are looking at how it works. I would like to see Kansas develop a universal plan, but I'd have to look at details and the funding.
Davis: One of the important things I would do for students is to make sure their families have health insurance because most policies can keep them. We need to give families access to policies.
46th District
Davis is the incumbent representative of the 46th district. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of Kansas. He later received a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from Washburn University School of Law. He currently practices law at Meyer and Davis L.L.C., 1101 1/2 Massachusetts St. He has been in office since 2003.

Davis: I think students are faced with financial concerns that are overbearing. To decrease tuition, the state needs to enhance scholarships and loan assistance, but at the same time we need to give the University the support that it needs so we don't have to increase tuition in the future.
Kirby: The state should provide more funding for loans and tuition assistance to get more people in school. I would like to see the job market full of educated people who can contribute to the area. The way to do that is to cut back on programs. The cost of prosecuting, housing and rehabilitating people for possessing and using marijuana is too much. They don't come back rehabilitated and they continue to contribute to societal ills. People are going to do it regardless and the taxpayers are paying for it. Raising taxes is another way. No one wants to do that and no one's going to say it. The state doesn't have the economic leeway because it's not producing anything anymore. I don't know how to do it, short of raising taxes.
Deferred Maintenance
Davis: Deferred maintenance is a serious issue and I'd like to see the legislature come up with a multi-year plan to address the problem. Most of it is at the University and it's
getting to a point where if we don't start to devote some dollars to it, it's just going to cost us more money in the long run.
Kirby: There is $150 million in damage at the University. One of the problems is a lack of funding. I would like to cut back on programs like the criminalization of marijuana so the state government can save money.
Environment
Davis: The most significant environmental issue before the state is the need for a comprehensive energy plan. Right now we are an importer of energy because coal plants primarily drive our electricity. Coal comes from the western part of the country. We need to set up incentives to shift dependency from coal to wind. Not only does it make financial sense, it's good for the environment and it has great economic potential for the state.
Kirby: I would vote against any legislation that would approve the building of the South Lawrence Trafficway. I want to protect the wetlands, wind energy and economically viable crops. I would like to implement programs to conserve energy like producing our own electricity through wind turbines. I would also like to implement developmental programs to find out what farmers can plant when. If a crop does not grow well, we pay to subsidize that. Farmers grow the same crops over and over, which also creates a soil deficiency.
Health Care
Davis: Last year, the legislature did enact some legislation that made health insurance programs more available to students, but we have to be realistic that there are not a lot of students who are going to take advantage of that. Students really fall into a difficult gap in the health care system. Most students are still on their parents' insurance plans and some students' parents don't have insurance. I'd like to make it more accessible and affordable for students' parents. The federal government has really been disengaged in the health insurance debate since Bush took office and I don't see that changing in the near future, so the state needs to become more engaged.
Kansas needs to explore other options as to how we can give opportunities to purchase insurance at an affordable rate, especially those who work for small businesses and self-employed people.
Kirby: There are a lot of options for students. Student Senate provides a plan and students can sign up for insurance with the school. I don't necessarily believe the government should control health care. Socialized medicine is inefficient. It should be left to the hands of private businesses.

Christian Beer, Wunsiedel, Germany junior and KU cycling club vice-president, trains on his stationary bike Sunday in his living room. The cyclists train year-round and move training indoors to avoid riding in cold and wet weather. The season runs year-round with March through May being the road-racing season. Thirty people are in the group.
Cycling team bikes inside to escape winter weather
Team practices on training bikes to prepare for spring
BY MATT ELDER
With the inclement weather of winter fast approaching, the KU Cycling Club is preparing to move its training indoors.
The wet and often snowy weather patterns of Kansas have already forced members of the team to use stationary trainers to begin the offseason training process. The National Collegiate Cycling Association, or NCCA, season begins in the spring.
"In the winter its all about time and miles on the bike," said Christian Beer, Wunsiedel, Germany, junior and team vice-president. "Near the end of winter, we'll incorporate a lot of anaerobic intervals, sprints and climbing drills again for the spring season."
With the riders' attention focused primarily on endurance training during the winter, stationary bikes become a staple. Beer said the team would hold "spin sessions" often at teammates' houses or at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, 802
"In the winter, probably three days out of the week I'd be on the stationary bike."
Kathy Kabalc, St. Louis senior and team president, said the change

Both Beer and Kalbac acknowledged the monotony of working out on a stationary trainer and the need to find a source of entertainment when indoors. Beer said that he and his roommate, who is also on the team, often relied on DVDs and music to "help the time pass and
For now, Beer's garage is overflowing with tools and more than a half dozen bikes and wheel sets. Training and spin sessions for the team will begin with the first signs of winter in the next few weeks.

SAFETY
Dispatchers exceed standard
14:37
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Anna Faltermieer/KANSAN
You usually think of the police officers or firefighters as the lifesavers, not the dispatchers who send them. But with medical training,dispatchers can save seven lives per one thousand calls, and aid countless more, estimated Vance Collins, emergency communications supervisor and Emergency Medical Dispatch program manager at Douglas County Emergency Communications.
KU Public Safety Office dispatcher Carol Supanicu works Thursday afternoon at the public safety office. Supicanic has worked as a dispatcher for 16 years. She was working at the KU Public Safety Office in 2004 when emergency medical training was implemented for dispatches in Douglas County. Kansas is one of 30 states that doesn't require dispatchers to have medical training.
In September, Maine became the 20th state to require dispatchers to have medical training. Kansas doesn't require it, but the KU Public Safety Office and Douglas County Emergency Communications have required the training since November 2004.
The KU Public Safety Office employs eight dispatchers. Douglas CountyEmergencyCommunications employs 15 dispatchers and is training two more.
Collins and Mies both said they hoped medical training would one day be required for all dispatchers.
"I think it should be and it will"
Mies said.
Kansan staff writer Anna Faltermeier can be contacted at afaltermeier@kansan.com.
"We felt it was a necessary service we needed to provide to citizens," Collins said. "Frankly it's become the national standard of care."
Collins said there could be a lawsuit for agencies that didn't require medical training for dispatchers.
Edited by Natalie Johnson
He said the training allowed dispatchers to provide callers with much better direction and assistance during a medical emergency.
It is the public's impression that dispatchers have the training, Collins said.
The KU Public Safety Office and Douglas County Emergency Management receive the same medical dispatch training.
and diabetes-related problems.
Training consists of an eight-hour-per-day, three-day certification course. Dispatchers are required to pass an exam at the end of the medical training.
Dispatchers are recertified once every two years.
Kevin Mies, communications supervisor at the KU Public Safety Office, said the training required dispatchers to determine the chief complaint of a caller and respond using a protocol book of advice for specific medical emergencies.
He said typical emergencies were choking, seizures, heart problems, heat or cold exposure, electrocution

disease. Months and years later, however, she would discover that cancer had returned. In 1999, the cancer spread to her liver, necessitating further treatment. Laughlin underwent surgery as recently as last year to remove a tennis ball-sized tumor from her liver.
"It is pretty much a chronic condition with me," Laughlin said. "It's not a question of if it comes back, but when."
Sarah Watts, 26, was diagnosed a year ago. Watts, who has a family history of breast cancer, immediately contacted her doctor when she discovered a lump. One in seven people will be diagnosed with breast cancer in his or her lifetime.
"I had had a feeling I would be diagnosed," Watts said, emphasizing that this was not just an "old woman's disease."

Kline brings up old harassment suit
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Republican incumbent Phill Kline made a former employee's 15-year-old allegations of harassment against Democratic challenger Paul Morrison an issue Monday in the attorney general's race, prompting Morrison's wife to say Kline "has just gone too far."
Morrison paid no damages in two federal lawsuits filed by a woman who worked for him as Johnson County district attorney and claimed he made a drunken sexual advance at her during a 1990 office gathering at a bar.
The first case went to trial in July 1992, but a judge dismissed it before the trial ended. Eight months later, the parties agreed to the dismissal of
Kline and Ron Freeman, the state GOP's executive director, said the lawsuits are a legitimate issue because Morrison has said there's been no hint of scandal associated with his 18-year tenure as district attorney. Also, Kline said, Morrison has criticized him unfairly for hiring a nephew who had two criminal offenses in his recent past.
the other lawsuit.
The two Republicans had a news conference outside the Topeka zoo.
"At the Topeka zoo, we have no weasels, and we believe we don't need a weasel in the AG's office in Kansas," Freeman said.
Kline first mentioned the lawsuits against Morrison in a debate last week, and he told reporters Monday that he'd known about the cases for some time but was reluctant to
talk about it. On Monday, his staff had copies of documents ready for reporters.
"There's a mean-spirited, deceptive campaign trying to fool the voters of Kansas with his constant falsehoods about the record," Kline said.
Morrison's wife had her own news conference outside the zoo immediately after Kline's, describing his comments as "a malicious attack on the integrity of our marriage."
Shortly after her remarks, Morrison's campaign issued a statement saying a new poll showed the Democrat with a lead.
"It's disgusting that Phill Kline would say such things knowing they're not true and that they're incredibly hurtful to Paul and his family," said Morrison campaign manager Mark Simpson.

Pending ordinance would make apartments safer
Large apartment fires would become less common in new apartment buildings if the city adopted a new fire code ordinance.
As reported in The University Daily Kansan, members of the Fire Code Board of Appeals are working on an ordinance that would require the installation
of sprinklers in all apartment buildings built after its passage but only if the Lawrence City Commission approves the ordinance.
The ordinance conforms to provisions required in the 2006 International Fire Code, a set of standards for sprinklers and other fire safety measures in buildings.
Russell Brickell, Lawrence fire inspector, said he hopes to have the final version of the ordinance completed by January 1, 2007.
Before Lawrence residents can be safer, the City Commission must approve the ordinance, which will invite resistance among builders looking to avert extra building costs.
But the lives the ordinance would save justify the cost increase. Sprinklers decrease the number of apartment fires by 93 percent and civilian deaths by 81 percent, according to a decade-long study by the National Fire Protection Association.
The ordinance would also require new three-level apartment buildings to have two exits, such as extra doors and exterior stairwalls. The ordinance would close fire code loopholes for new 2 1/2-story buildings by requiring sprinklers and two exits. Existing multi-level apartment buildings, such as the Boardwalk Apartments, would be exempt from the regulations.
No apartment building that presents a threat to its tenants' safety should ever be built again. By approving the ordinance, the City Commission could prevent horrific tragedies in new apartment buildings.

COMMENTARY
Praying Democrats win this election
Well, my fellow Jayhawks, the 2006 midterm elections are fast approaching, and if you haven't registered to vote then run, don't walk, to the library, post office or county treasurer's office today and get it done. This election might just prove to be a pivotal point in American history.
Now, let me make myself clear: I am not a Democrat. This November, however, I will be voting for every Democratic candidate who happens to be on my ballot. It will be a vote not as much for who I want, but definitely a vote for who I don't want. Washington, D.C., needs an enema, people. Republican control of the House and Senate must be broken up, and the Democrats must move to impeach President Bush if given the majority.
For those of you who think that the midterm elections couldn't possibly mean so much, wise up. Back in 1994, the Republican Party seized control of the federal House and Senate for the first time since 1954. Republicans led by their minority whip, Newt Gingrich, took center stage and declared that they would clean up the "swamp" that Washington, D.C., had become by restoring morality to the halls of government.
Once Republicans had control of Congress, they moved against President Clinton. Three years later President Clinton became just the second president ever to be impeached. The grand old "do as I say, not as I do party," who declared that they would restore morals to the halls of government, chose to drag the entire country into the gutter with their investigation of sperm stains on blue dresses and strange places for President Clinton to store his cigars. As for the man leading the charge against Clinton, Time magazine's 1995 Man of the Year, Newt Gingrich, while he was cru-

cifying the President of the United States for an extra-marital affair, he too was carrying on an affair with one of his own aids twenty-three years his younger.
The grounds for impaction President Clinton were ridiculous and, looking back on it, the actions of the Republicans should have been a glaring indication of their hypocrisy. The Republican-controlled Congress has failed in its attempt, if it ever truly was an attempt, to clean up Washington.
Corruption is as rife as ever in the capital city. It is something Democratic congressmen are just as guilty of, and there is no guarantee that the corruption will stop if the Republicans lose control of Congress. Without a doubt, though, the main reason the American people must beat the Republicans back into the minority of Congress is because they have been the enablers to a man who sits in our Oval Office and believes that he is above the law.
Some political analysts believe that if the Democrats take control of the House and Senate that the impeachment process against President Bush will begin. Republicans like to wrap the word "perjury" around their justification for the impeachment of Clinton, but the bottom line is that the presidential impeachment of 1998 was a joke that came at the expense of nearly $41 million to the American taxpayers.
The grounds for the impeachment of President Bush are no joke. He has led to the American people in order to send us into a war that has resulted in the deaths of almost 3,000 U.S. servicemen and women, and 600,000 Iraqis. He has signed off on illegal wiretaps of U.S. citizens and tried to hide it. Members of his administration leaked the identity of an active CIA operative as an act of spite when it was revealed that the Bush administration was fabricating evidence to lead us to war in Iraq. All the while President Bush has pointed fingers, bullied anyone in government or the news media who was brave enough to question his administration, and continually shoved the tragedy of 9/11 in our faces as justification for his blatant disregard for the Constitution of the United States of America.
The Republican-controlled House and Senate have stood idle for too long. They have given too much control to the man who has dubbed himself the "Decider," and it's time to stop the bleeding. You get rid of the Republican-controlled House and Senate and you effectively neuter the Bush administration. I don't care if the impeachment process lasts two years and in his last week in office President Bush is forced to stand trial for his abuse of the laws of this country.

Nine easy steps for a healthy teacher-student relationship
Every student at some point has had a bad professor. I have a few suggestions that professors and teachers' assistants can follow in order to keep their students happy and active in the classroom.
PETER HAYES
Of course I realize that we as students are not perfect beings, but some of the things can be addressed on the part of the teachers.
BY BETH RUHL
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINIONKANSAN.COM
1. There is a problem with the professor who on the first day of class says, "I know nobody wants to take this class because it is a prerequisite, but I will try to make it as easy as possible." Students will immediately lose confidence in your ability to make the course interesting. Many times there are students who didn't come into the classroom thinking that it would be a tough or scary course, but they sure do once you've said it.
2. This is to anyone who is teaching and tries to make assignments that "the kids" will think are cool. Giving assignments that involve MySpace or The Daily Show just show your age and inability to communicate with our generation. Teach the way you know the best, not the way you think will be trendy.
3. To the teachers' assistants who have just received their undergraduate degree or who are in their first two years of grad school: You do
not know everything about your field just yet. You are not an expert. Please don't act like it. We will see right through your frivolous answers to our questions. We know when they have not been thoroughly answered.
4. Nobody likes teachers who cannot accept anything but their own opinion. Don't get me wrong, I know the importance of strong and logical arguments. But there are other perspectives out there that should be respected as long as they follow these rules. Flunking someone because they don't agree with you is intellectually hypocritical.
5. This one should be obvious, but it happens more often than you would think. Don't have favorites. If you call on the same three people all the time and praise only their work, students will stop making an effort in your class. Everyone must be equally involved.
6. Teachers who are in the classroom to show off their knowledge
base, rather than teach the students, should not be teachers, period. Unfortunately for some teachers, the idea that students are in a classroom to learn is a foreign concept. Students are seen as an audience for theatrics instead of as learners.
7. If you are a grad student and think teaching will be an easy way to make money, please reconsider.
We need people who are passionate about what they are teaching and who have the time to meet their students needs.
8. A common complaint among students is about the teachers who go through material too quickly. This happens especially frequently in large lecture halls. Professors are zooming along and nobody has time to take notes or ask questions. If you pay attention to these factors and slow down, students will perform much better in your class.
9. Finally, try to make the material you are teaching interesting. This can be especially challenging depending on the subject, but real-world applications are always a good way to make students feel they are at least getting something useful out of your course. Act like you care, and don't simply read and lecture out of the course texts.

THE

I arrived at the party with Bill Murray,"Stavnef, a social anthropology student, was quoted as saying. "He was just like the character in 'Lost in Translation.'"
washing a metal pot at the sink.
The Sunday Telegraph article was accompanied by a photograph that appears to show Murray, dressed in a checkered shirt and a brown vest.
She said she was first concerned when the apartment had no clean glasses left, but that Murray was happy to drink vodka from a coffee cup and also helped wash dishes in the cramped kitchen.
"Nobody could believe it when
To Stavnef's surprise, Murray accepted her invitation to a party and accompanied her and her friend to a party, the newspaper said.
In the movie "Lost in Translation; Murray plays a lonely middle-aged actor in Japan who befriends a young American woman and goes partying with her.
And in what The Sunday Telegraph said was life imitating art, the 56-year-old Murray joined up with 22-year-old Norwegian student Lykke Stavnef, who took him to a house where a student party was in full swing.
» HOROSCOPE
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
The newspaper reported that Murray met Stavnef at a bar where he was drinking with fellow golfers after playing in the Oct. 5 to 8 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in St. Andrews with other actors.

As news spread around the city that Murray had turned up at the student party, the house became crowded with people wanting to meet the star of "Ghostbusters," the article said.
"He was joking with me about reheating some leftover pasta and how drunk everyone was," said partygoer Agnes Huitfeldt, 22.
PRISTINA, Serbia — Nicole Kidman is playing a role that has nothing to do with movies, touring Kosovo as a United Nations goodwill ambassador to the tense province.
Don't let other people's opinions keep you from your objectives. It's useful to know what they are, however. Listen carefully.

When you solicit opinions, you may not like what you hear. It's probably for your own good but do be careful whom you ask.
You're providing the security, in an otherwise shaky situation. Don't look to others for help; be a provider.
said after arriving Saturday, "to meet people, hear their stories and educate myself, and I suppose be a voice for you if you need it."
The actress was named goodwill ambassador of the U.N. Development Fund for Women, or UNIFEM, in January and the tour of Kosovo is her first visit in that role.
Kidman's two-day visit comes at a sensitive time as ethnic Albanians and Serbs are negotiating the status of Kosovo. Ethnic Albanians want full independence for the province of 2 million, while Serbia insists Kosovo should remain under its sovereignty.
Kosovo formally remains part of Serbia but has been run by a U.N. mission since mid-1999, when NATO forced Serb forces to halt a crackdown on independence-seeking ethnic Albanians.

VOLLEYBALL
Weekend victories turn streak around
BY DREW DAVISON
After losing five straight matches, the Kansas volleyball team salvaged its postseason hopes when it defeated in-state rival Kansas State and Baylor last week at home, jumping three spots in the Big 12 standings up to eighth.
"Winning does amazing things," coach Ray Bechard said. "Sometimes you think you'll never lose again and sometimes you think you'll never win again."
The Jayhawks (10-9, 3-7 Big 12) were thinking they'd never win again until last Wednesday, when they beat the Wildcats in a four-game match. The momentum carried over to Saturday when they swept the Baylor Bears.
The losing streak lasted three long weeks for the Jayhawks. But it was nothing new to a team that went through similar stretches before making runs to the NCAA tournament last year.
In 2005, the team went on an
eight-game losing streak before making it to the NCAA tournament. In 2004, the team had a five-game losing streak before finding a way back into the tournament.
This season, in the midst of the slump, Bechard relied on the veterans
to keep morale up. Seniors Jana Correa and Megan Hill and junior Emily Brown kept the team motivated.
"They were all good volleyball players at the high-school level and they probably aren't used
"After all the situations I've been through, like the knee surgery, I'm trying to help the team in other ways," she said. "I'm helping in dig-

to losing," Brown, right-side hitter, said. "I told them you have to stay positive. If you stay down, your whole season is going to snowball down. But if you stay positive and get a win here or there it will turn right back around."
It appears — for now — the tide has turned back in Kansas' favor.

ging and blocking instead of just hitting."
Correa, an outside hitter, is determined to go to the tournament all four years she is with the team. Before she arrived in 2003. Kansas had never been
to an NCAA tournament.
Correa said she told the younger players to "believe" during the losing streak because she knew it was possible to get back in for the post-season.
Although the two victories boosted confidence, the postseason dreams are still just that: dreams. Traditionally, the top-six teams in the Big 12 are locks to make the NCAA tournament. Last season.
Kansas received a generous bid after the team finished eighth in the conference, but that rarely happens.
Correa said that if the team continued to play well, it could finish in the top five or six in conference.
The Jayhawks are beginning what they call the "second half" of their season. After playing the first round of conference teams, they will begin the second round Saturday at Texas A&M. The Jayhawks defeated the Aggies at home in a five-game match earlier this season.
Two of the layhawks' next three matches are at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center, where they are 6-3 this season. Kansas plays at Texas A&M (9-8, 2-7) Saturday, then Oklahoma (16-3, 8-1) and Texas Tech (10-8, 3-6) come to Lawrence.
"I think we are gelling right now," Hill, outside hitter, said. "We were standoffish at first, but now, we are like, 'Bring on the teams because we're ready to play.'"

Bears come back against Cardinals
BY BOB BAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Even on a very bad night, the Chicago Bears found a way to stay unbeaten.
They can thank their defense, punt returner Devin Hester and Arizona kicker Neil Rackers for that.
Chicago, down 20-0 at the half,
returned two fumbles for touchdowns,
then Devin Hester returned
a punt 83 yards for a touchdown
with 2:58 remaining and the Bears
(6-0) overcame six turnovers by Rex Grossman to beat the Cardinals 24-
23 Monday night.
Rackers, who connected from 41,
28 and 29 yards, missed a 41-yarder
to the left with 53 seconds left for
what would have been the game
winner for Arizona (1-5).
After Grosssaan threw his fourth interception, the Cardinals were
trying to use up time. But Brian Urlacher stripped the ball from Edgerrin James and Charles Tillman scooped it up for a 40-yard return to cut Arizona's lead to 23-17 with five minutes left.
On their next possession, the Cardinals were forced to punt. Hester caught the ball, broke a few arm tackles and sprinted upfield, scoring his second punt return for a touchdown this season and giving Chicago the lead for the first time all night.
Rookie quarterback Matt Leinart,
making his second NFL start,
threw for two first-quarter touchdowns while the Cardinals shook up Grossman.
The Bears' QB lost two fumbles, was intercepted four times and struggled to hit receivers when he did manage to get the ball clean away, going 14-for-37 for 148 yards.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Unanimous votes have Kansas leading Big 12 poll
The votes have been tallied and Kansas is the unanimous No. 1 choice in the Big 12 Preseason Coaches Poll.
The Jayhawks received the maximum 11 first-place votes in the poll for the 2006-07 season.
The poll results come as no surprise because Kansas returns every key player from last year's team, which tied for the Big 12 regular season championship and won the conference tournament, and added McDonald's All-Americans Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur.
The Jayhawks are led by sophomores Brandon Rush and Julian Wright, who were named Co-Preseason All-Big 12 Players of the Year by conference coaches.
Because coaches aren't allowed to vote for their own teams, Texas A&M received the
- Shawn Shroyer
remaining first place vote and was picked to finish second in the conference. This is the highest preseason placement in school history for the Aggies, who return four starters and their top six scorers from last season.
In order of points, Oklahoma State, Texas, Kansas State and Texas Tech close out the top half of the preseason poll. Baylor, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa State and Colorado occupy the bottom half.

Jayhawks finish first two rounds tied for sixth
The Kansas men's golf team stands in a tie for sixth place after two rounds at the Prestige at PGA West tournament.
As a team, the Jayhawks shot a 301 in the first round and moved up the leader-board with
a strong second-round score of 294.
The best individual play for Kansas came from senior Gary Woodland. Woodland heads into the third and final round in a tie for fourth place after posting scores of 69 and 72 in the first and second rounds.
Sophomore Zach Pederson is tied for 53rd and freshman Bobby Knowles is tied for 65th after two rounds. Senior Barrett Martens sits in a tie for 70th place.
Stanford and UCLA will continue their battle for first place in the team competition Tuesday morning. As of now, the two Pac-10 teams are tied for 1st place, followed by UC-Irvine and Minnesota.
Senior Tyler Docking rebounded from a first-round 75 to post a three-under 69 in the second round and pull into a tie for 10th overall.
VIOLATIONS (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
Asher Fusco
When a compliance staffer told Bohl the department needed more workers, Bohl allegedly responded with his now-famous remark, which is included in the infractions committee's report: "Compliance doesn't sell tickets."
Why was the women's basketball program punished more severely than men's basketball?
Rick Evrard, the University's counsel on matters relating to NCAA rules violations, said it was a matter of timing.
When Kansas submitted its report to the NCAA in June 2005, its investigation had revealed eight possible violations by the women's basketball program and Kansas had still not learned about the violations in men's basketball committed by booster Don Davis, who provided impermissible gifts to both KU junior Darnell Jackson and former player J.R. Giddens.
Also leading to the self-imposed penalty on the women's program was the fact that Marian Washington and her assistants, who are no longer with the University, declined to be interviewed about the infractions so the Athletics Department chose to place the program on probation.
"We said,' We're going to take the high road here and we're going to conclude that violations occurred," Evrard said.
Who decided what the punishment would be?
The punishment was handed down by the NCAA Committee on Infractions, an eight-person committee of college administrators and law professors. Gene March, chairman of the board, is a law professor at the University of Alabama.
How does this affect recruiting for the football team?
The committee accepted Kansas' self-imposed punishment of accepting only three junior-college players in both 2006 and 2007. The committee's additional sanctions prohibit the team from using more than 22 scholarships in both 2007 and 2008, taking away three scholarships both years from the 25 that are usually allowed.
The NCAAs penalty should not affect Kansas coach Mark Mangino's recruiting efforts drastically, because with Mangino, the team has used an average of 21.4 of the available 25 scholarships for incoming players each year.
"Even though the reduction in scholarships is a serious matter, it's not a fatal matter." Mangino said.

After reviewing video of the melee that marred Saturday night's matchup, 31 players from the two teams were suspended from their next game. Additional sanctions, including longer suspensions for some players, were expected to be issued by the schools. Florida International called a news conference for later Monday, at which time further "much harsher penalties" would likely be announced, coach Don Strock said.
"This is certainly embarrassing. It's disgraceful. It's amazing, I've run out of words," he said. "There's no place for it in college football or football period. This is way over board. I apologize to all the fans of college football for this taking place."

NCLS Game Five postponed
New York, St. Louis pitchers get extra day of rest; coaches fear muddy field
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS - So much for all the scrutiny about pitching on short rest.
Day-long rain caused Game 5 of the NL championship series between New York and St. Louis to be postponed Monday night, meaning Mets lefty Tom Glavine and Jeff Weaver of the Cardinals will start Tuesday night on full rest.
The teams are tied at two games each in the best-of-seven playoff. Game 5 was rescheduled for 8:19 p.m. EDT at Busch Stadium.
For the second time in the NLCS, the clubs will travel without a day off. They'll play Game 6 at Shea Stadium in New York on Wednesday night, as scheduled.
Glavine and Weaver both had been slated to start Monday night on three days' rest after rain pushed back the series opener by one day last week.
"It's certainly not a bad thing," said Glavine, who has tossed 13 scoreless innings in two playoff starts. "It's just something in this day and age we're not conditioned to do."
Now, another washout eliminated the need for that.
"I think both guys have been gearing themselves to go, so they are ready. I think the position players would have had to deal with the elements," he said. "It would be dangerous and a lot to ask."
St. Louis manager Tony La Russa played down the issue of regular rest, saying Weaver and Glavine both knew the task at hand all along and had been preparing for it since Game 1. La Russa thought a bigger concern Monday was the drenched field.
St. Louis ace Chris Carpenter is slated to start Game 6 against rookie John Maine. Both will be on full rest, as well.
Glavine threw seven shutout innings of four-hit ball last Thursday night, beating Weaver 2-0 on Carlos Beltran's two-run homer.
out."
"I'm turning into the rain man this series," Glavine said. "Hopefully, the results will be as good as they were the last time we got rained
After consecutive victories by St. Louis, the Mets evened the series by winning 12-5 Sunday night.
They got several big hits from Carlos Delgado and Beltran, and a respectable start by erratic lefty Oliver Perez.
Now, the second rainout of the series gives Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols a chance to rest his sore right hamstring, and St Louis' young bullpen gets a day to recover from Game 4.
Maybe that's one reason manager Willie Randolph and a few other Mets sounded a little disappointed about not playing Monday, even though it put the 40-year-old Glavine back on regular rest.
"It's good for Glav, but also it helps out their bullpen. We got in their bullpen last night, they threw a lot of pitches, so it gives their bullpen an extra day. A pretty even matchup," New York's David Wright said. "You're prepared to play, even when you wake up in the morning and it's raining, and you come to the park and you're ready to go, so it's kind of a mental letdown."
In the end, does the washout favor either team?
"I'll tell you in nine innings," Cardinals outfielder Preston Wilson said. "I'm not smart enough to know all of that. All I know is we've got an extra day off."
Glavine is 8-6 with a 3.53 ERA in 25 regular-season starts on short rest, but only 2-5 with a 6.75 ERA in seven postseason starts without full rest.
The loose and lanky Weaver, 30, has never started on three days' rest in his major league career.
Orlando Hernandez, who has missed the entire postseason thus far because of a torn muscle in his right calf, threw 72 pitches in an encouraging bullpen session Sunday and could return in time for the World Series if New York gets past the Cardinals.
Mets starter Steve Trachsel, knocked out of Game 3 in the second inning with a bruised thigh after getting hit by Wilson's hard comebacker, was feeling better, too.
The Mets did get good news about their injury-depleted pitching staff, though.
"Now I can dance," a cheerful El Duque said. "I threw every pitch. I think I'm ready for next week."

>>' HORN BORN, 'HAWK BRED
Jayhawks are lost without Charles Gordon
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN COLUMNIST
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
FOOTBALL
Edited by Natalie Johnson
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry during Kansas' second-half meltdown against Oklahoma State. After all, the best cure for depression is laughter, and Kansas gave me plenty to laugh about. What I found most hilarious was the secondary's inability to stop Adarius Bowman, the Cowboy receiver who totaled 301 vards and four touchdowns.
Who was supposed to be covering this guy? I know who could have been: Charles Gordon, the former KU cornerback who left a year early to pursue a career in the NFL. He still could be suing up for Kansas on Saturdays if he had chosen to return.
Gordon wasn't drafted and currently is on the practice squad for the Minnesota Vikings. He's not making much money for an NFL player and doesn't dress for games. It wasn't a now-or-never decision; all this would've been available a year later.
So why did you do it Flash? Kansas obviously needs you more than the Vikings do. You could have helped Kansas stop big pass plays that cost it victories against Toledo, Nebraska, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. With you, the Jayhawks could have a good defense. They could even be undefeated.
I know: You didn't want to play offense. But you wouldn't need to. Kansas' offense is much better than last season. Scoring 25 points should be good enough to defeat Oklahoma State. It's not the offense that's in need, it's the defense.
Saturday's second half was the worst the Kansas defense has played since coach Mark Mangino's first season. Maybe last season spoiled me, but I don't like seeing 603 total yards from the other team, 35 points allowed in one half or 301 yards for one receiver.
Kansan sportswriter Travis Robinett can be contacted at trobinett@kansan.com.
The defense was as dead as the Memorial Stadium crowd in the second half. It just rolled over and died, even after the offense came back to within three points in the fourth quarter with a beautiful two-point conversion. Two plays later, Kansas was down by 10 again.
Sophomore Aqib Talib is a good cornerback, but he covers only one side of the field. That leaves a big hole on the left side of the defense, a hole that Gordon dug for the lajhawks.
He could've led Kansas back to another bowl game, which is suddenly an unlikely possibility. He could've been one of the most important players in Kansas football history. Instead he's practicing football for a living.
But what's done is done. Gordon isn't here and Kansas football will be finished when it loses to Baylor this weekend. Thank God it's basketball season.

Kansas has work to do before Baylor
Saturday's game pits a struggling Jayhawk defense against a strong Bear offense
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
After watching tape Sunday of his defense getting torched for more than 400 passing yards during this weekend's loss, Mark Mangino saw problems with more than just the secondary.
This loss was a total defensive collapse.
Kansas' football coach said linebackers misreading patterns and an inconsistent pass rush contributed to the poor play of the secondary.
"To blame the secondary would not be accurate." Mangino said during Monday's Big 12 Conference Football Coaches Teleconference. "It's an 11-man situation that we have to get corrected."
The defense needs to fix its problem quickly. One of the nation's best passing offenses awaits as the next challenge for
Kansas' struggling defense on Saturday.
Baylor, which switched to an offense this season similar to the one run by Texas Tech, has one of the best passing offenses in the country. The Bears' passing offense ranks 10th in the nation, averaging 285 yards per game. Baylor threw for 320 yards Saturday against the Longhorns, whose defense ranks 11th in the nation.
By comparison, Kansas' pass defense ranks 117th out of 119 Division I-A teams, giving up an average of 281 yards per game.
Mangino said having the defense watch tape of its second-half performance against Oklahoma State was a good learning experience. Pass defense, which includes more than just the secondary, will be a major focus throughout the week in practice.
Pressure on the quarterback is an area that Mangino said was average but needed to be improved. Oklahoma State quarterback Bobby Reid was able to stand in the pocket and find open receivers, namely Adarius Bowman.
In the variation of the spread offense that Baylor runs, getting to the quarterback quickly will be the key to stopping the passing attack. Without pressure, the quarterback is able to stand back and wait for a defensive back to make a mistake and then exploit it with a pass.
Mangino said the mistakes his team made against Oklahoma State could be corrected in time for this weekend's game.
"The key is to identify what the problems are and get them corrected," Mangino said.

NCAA SANCTIONS
Questions answered regarding Kansas' infractions
BY C.J. MOORE
Editor's note: Sports Administration reporter C.J. Moore answers questions about the NCAA Committee on Infractions' report for Kansas.
What does being on probation mean?
Because the University has been placed on probation with the NCAA Committee on Lafractions, the Athletics Department is subject to a repeat violators provision. This provision - found in the NCAA rulebook - opens the door for stiffer penalties to be assessed if the University commits more violations in the next five years.
ly vigilant", associate athletics director Irm弓Marchio said.
"Over the next five years we have to be especially careful and especial."
During the three-year probation placed on Kansas by the NCAA, the school is required to do the following:
> Develop and implement an educational program about NCAA legislation for its coaches and all Athletics Department personnel
2 Submit a preliminary report to the infractions committee by Dec. 15 of this year, establishing a schedule for how the Athletics Department plans to implement its compliance and educational programs
> Submit annual reports to the infractions committee by Aug. 15
during the next three years, describing the progress that has been made in compliance and the educational programs; the report must also detail the tracking of recruits who come to campus prior to enrolling and document the University's compliance with the other penalties that were assessed in men's basketball and football.
> Kansas must submit a letter at the end of its probation to the committee verifying that the Athletics Department followed NCAA regulations.
But more than anything, Marchiony said, being on probation was a "public stigma" for the University.
Will Bill Self have to kick somebody off of scholarship next year?
> NCAA allows for a program to have 13 players on scholarship, however, with the penalty Kansas could only have 12 players on scholarship next season.
If everyone returned in 2007, Self would either have to defer the penalty one year or kick one of his current players off of scholarship.
Speculation has been made that sophomore Brandon Rush will bolt for the NBA after this season and Self has even said it's a possibility. If that is the case and Kansas doesn't sign any more recruits for next season, everyone would be able to stay on scholarship.
How long is the punishment in affect?
The Athletics Department is on probation for the next three years, ending Oct. 11, 2009. Both the men's basketball and football teams will serve their punishments during the next two seasons.
Who is Al Bohl, and why is he part of these violations?
Al Bohl was the athletics director for Kansas, who was fired in April 2003 by Chancellor Robert Hemenway. Under Bohl's watch, Kansas committed numerous violations that went unreported to the NCAA or the Big 12 conference by its compliance department.

C.J. Giles suspended
Junior center is attending to "personal issues," will not practice
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self has suspended junior center C.J. Giles from the team indefinitely.
"C.J. Giles will not practice with the team while he attends to some personal issues," Self said, "If and when these issues are addressed, we will discuss his future with the program."
The statement was released by the Athletics Department on Tuesday night. Giles and Self were unavailable for further comment.
As a sophomore, Giles started 13 games and averaged 6.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. He led Kansas and ranked seventh in the Big 12 with 48 blocked shots last season. Giles tied a school record against Chaminade last November, sinking
nine straight field goals. He scored a career- high 21 points that game.
Giles was a candidate to start for the Jayhawks at center, although junior center Sasha Kaun is now the favorite to fill that role. If Self should choose to go with a smaller lineup, junior forward Darnell Jackson or freshman forward Darrell Arthur could replace Giles.
Giles' scholarship will remain in
effect for at least the remainder of this semester, although no formal decisions beyond that have been made.

Former coach denies allegations

Washington
PETER C.
DANGER
KEEP OUT
Former KU women's basketball coach Marian Washington has denounced reports that she or any of her former staff failed to
cooperate with the University during its investigation of rules violations in Summer 2004.
Washington said in a press release issued through her lawyer that
she and her staff never failed to cooperate with Rick Evard, the University's counsel, on matters relating to NCAA rules violations during the University's investigation.
"I cannot allow someone to suggest that I, or my staff, did not cooperate." Washington said in the statement. "I really resent that he, or anyone else, would suggest that."
When reached Tuesday evening, Evrard declined to comment.
Washington was responding to the allegation that the University's self-imposed penalties on the women's basketball team had to do with her and her assistants declining to be interviewed about the infractions after they had left Kansas.
The investigation, led by Evrard, had revealed seven possible violations by the program. Because Washington and her assistants were not respond-

After loudest Wescoe construction moved to evening, noise still causes some disruption, but not too much
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Many faculty members teaching in Wescoe Hall said the ongoing construction in the building is generally not disruptive, though those in classrooms closest to the construction still noticed a problem with noise.
Despite the University's decision to have the loudest construction at night, faculty in the building's west side say some disruptive noise is still present. The construction is taking place directly under the fourth floor classrooms on that side of the building.
"I've had to try to speak up a bit more and sometimes it's been a little too hard to hear students," William Scott, professor of English, said. "It's not good."
The University moved the loud construction to the night because of complaints that it was disrupting seminar classes in the late afternoon and early evening.
"But of course it still goes on during the day" Scott said.
Faculty in other parts of Wescoe, however, said there have not been any problems as a result of the construction.
John Sweets, professor of history, has an office on the second floor of the building and teaches a class on its east side. He said those parts of the building had not experienced any noise problems.
"In terms of me and the classes I've taught, it's had no effect on my teaching at all." Sweets said.
The only complaints from faculty in the east side of the building stemmed from a perception that the
construction may have been the cause of two power outages at Wescoe during the semester. Jackie Hosey, associate director for news and public issues at the University Relations office, said the construction had nothing to do with those power outages.
Both Hosey and Don Steeples, vice
The lecture halls on the building's west side have also been largely free from distractions.
"You'll hear a power tool for about 20 seconds, but nothing really too bad" Schrodt said.
Phil Schrodt, professor of political science, said noise from the construction had disrupted his class in room 2039 only once. Most of the time, he said, noise could barely be heard in the classroom.
Even though he said he was frustrated by the noise, Scott said he thought the office and classroom space that would be created by the construction were necessary and the noise was an acceptable result of that
provost for scholarly support, said they had received no complaints from faculty regarding the construction since the schedule was changed.

SPEAKER
Candidate focuses on energy, research, education
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Mark Parkinson, Governor Kathleen Sebelius' running mate for lieutenant governor, spoke about his high hopes for the upcoming election last night.
Parkinson, a former Republican turned Democrat, made a campaign stop to speak to the University of Kansas Young Democrats in the Kansas Union. He said his three desires to improve Kansas are through public schools, alternate energy and biomedical research facilities.
Parkinson cited the local option budget program as an integral key to bring about improvements in public schools.
"It is critical to increase the base
amounts spent on public schools," Parkinson said. "It is also critical that we increase the amount that local districts can raise on their own. If we do these two things, we can create world class schools in Kansas."
Parkinson said he wanted to increase economic sectors of the Kansas economy by creating more outlets for alternate energy and attracting biomedical research institutes to the area. He said he envisioned a partnership between the Stowers Medical Research Institute in Kansas City and the University of Kansas Medical Center as being a vital part of expansion in the medical research community in Kansas.
"We believe that by marrying the Stowers Institute with the KU
Medical Center and creating incentives for biomedical research to be done along the K-10 corridor to Lawrence and along the I-70 corridor to K-State that we can create the kind of biomedical research triangle that most can only dream of. Parkinson said, "We can do that and the governor has that kind of ability to make that kind of thing happen."
Parkinson said his goal was to get more KU students interested in the gubernatorial election in November.
Throughout his speech, Parkinson praised Sebelius' leadership as governor for the past four years in bringing Kansas into a more stable budget position. He said Sebelius' independent leadership and ability to reach across party lines was key to that success.
"I don't think a lot of students are
Marc Langston, President of KU Young Democrats and Wichita junior, was at Parkinson's speech and said he thought it was important for the University community to get to know him as a candidate.
Parkinson himself changed his political affiliation to run on the Democratic ticket. He said he was a moderate Republican, but joined the trend of politicians becoming Democrats.
aware of who he is, even though they know who Governor Sebelius is," Langston said. "He has some strong ideas that are important to KU in terms of research."
Sebelius selected Parkinson as a candidate for lieutenant governor in May after current lieutenant governor John Moore announced his retirement.

John Wade does not like to think that he just gives advice. Wade tries to help people through problems, not just tell them what to do.
"Most people that I see just need help getting unstuck," Wade said. "People know what is wrong; they just can't do it themselves. I try to get them back on track."
Wade is a counseling psychologist for Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of Kansas, or CAPS. Wade works exclusively with students. He will work with students about anything from dealing with stress to eating disorders. On average, Wade will see a student three to four times, though sometimes he will see a student for years.
Wade was always focused on psychology. He graduated from the University of Dallas with a degree in psychology. He received his masters in psychology from the
University of North Texas and his doctorate in Counseling psychology from Penn State.
Wade has always enjoyed teaching. Currently Wade teaches the Orientation Seminar class as well as classes at Avila University.
"I normally taught graduate level psychology classes, but they asked for volunteers to teach," Wade said.
Along with counseling and teaching, Wade is also the outreach coordinator for CAPS. He speaks at organizations such as the Sports Exercise Program and the Business Women's association. He speaks on dealing with stress in the situations that organizations deal with.
Even with a busy schedule, Wade would not have it any other way.

Poll: Americans harbor misperceptions of Alaska
JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska's governor wanted to find out what the rest of the nation thinks about their neighbor to the north, so he commissioned a sort of pop quiz.
The results of the poll show that Americans love Alaska, but they don't know a whole lot about it.
More than half the nation thinks that most of Alaska is covered in ice and snow year-round. For the record: Just 5 percent of Alaska is covered by glaciers, ice and snow all year.
Another result found that one of every eight Americans believes the
Last Frontier is a separate country or else doesn't know that it's a state.
Just 14 percent of those polled had ever been to Alaska, but nine out of every 10 said they had a positive impression of the state. Most cited its natural beauty and vast space.
The nation holds a romantic notion of Alaskans. Most described the people who live there as adventurous, rugged pioneers who like their freedom and the wilderness.
Giant rosary in Michigan built from 59 bowling balls
NAPOLEON TOWNSHIP, Mich.
— Ralph Kluk has made a rosary fit for the Jolly Green Giant.
The 76-year-old has displayed a 70-foot, 700-pound rosary made out of bowling balls in his front yard.
"It's a good idea," said Kluk's priest, the Rev. Darius Wyszynski. "What else do you do with an old bowling ball?"
It took a little ingenuity, and a few dozen phone calls to bowling alleys and their patrons, for Kluk to scrounge up the requisite number of rosary balls.
He combined 59 balls, 20 cans of pastel spray paint, 40 feet of black piping and a wooden cross.

Hikers use camera flash on cell phone for rescue
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Two hikers lost in a heavily wooded area got out alive thanks to their cell phone — not the phone itself, but the camera part.
A man and a woman, who authorities did not identify, alerted emergency workers around 8:30 p.m. Sunday that they had lost their way on a hiking trail in the House Mountain State Natural Area in east Knox County.
Knox County Sheriff's Office used a helicopter to search for the pair, but pilot Tony Chamberlain was unable to locate them with an infrared device that detects body heat because of the heavy foliage.
The hikers' flashlight batteries were losing power, so the woman told authorities by cell phone that she would use the camera flash on the phone to alert the helicopter pilot, who saw the flash using night-vision goggles.
"It was great the way everything came together," said Leigh Ann Cate, executive director of the Knoxville Volunteer Emergency Rescue Squad. "It had a really good ending."

Audience wanted for tenure forums
Task force asks for more faculty input
BY DANNY LUPPINO
University Governance is conducting a series of public forums to discuss changes to the tenure and promotion procedures, but those most affected by those procedures aren't attending them.
The Task Force on Promotion and Tenure held the third of its seven public forums Tuesday afternoon in the Burge Union. The forum, a discussion of conflict-of-interest issues, drew only two faculty members, both already tenured.
Rick Hale, associate professor of aerospace engineering and a member of the task force, noted the conspicuous lack of an audience during the discussion.
"It's strange when 67 percent of us are on the committee," Hale said, comparing the audience to the four-person subcommittee overseeing the forum.
Richard Levy, professor of law and chairman of the task force, said it would be beneficial to have more of an audience for these events.
"I certainly would like more attendance," Levy said. "I'd like to get more views."
Levy said one of the previous forums, one for non-teaching faculty, did draw an audience of about 25 people. The other had similar attendance to Tuesday's forum.
One of the major issues that arose during the forum was if a professor up for tenure or promotion could decide if a member of his review committee had a conflict of interest. No non-tenured faculty were present to contribute to the discussion.
Jan Kozma, professor of Italian and committee member, explained the importance of having a faculty voice at the meetings.
"These forums are an opportunity for faculty to come together and voice their concerns and recommendations for the process," Kozma said.
Despite the low attendance, Levy said he had received several written comments from faculty. He also noted that faculty would have more opportunities to comment in future meetings.
"The critical point is that we hear different points of view and we get feedback." Levy said. "We're getting that input, though wed like more."

NATION Hawaii earthquake damage estimated at $46 million
KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii — Preliminary damage estimates from the earthquake that shook Hawaii over the weekend hit $46 million on Tuesday, and President Bush declared a major disaster, opening the way for federal aid.
Damage to seven schools and a harbor on the island of Hawaii accounted for most of the preliminary figure, said Janet Snyder, a
spokeswoman for Hawaii County Mayor Harry Kim. Damage to businesses, homes, roads and bridges accounted for the rest.
"These figures are going to change radically, I believe," because information continued to stream in, Snyder said.
The president's disaster declaration makes federal aid available to the state and local governments and nonprofit organizations for debris removal and other emergency purposes.

Matt Llewellyn, 75th Street Brewery general manager, said that Martin was the guest server he expected to have the most support.
"He's a great guy," Lewlenly said. "He always comes in with a different person or former students from his classes."
Martin said his knowledge of the restaurant would help him Thursday.
"I know the food and the beer quite well and I thought it would be fun," Martin said.
Llewellyn said that servers at the brewery know Martin on sight and know he would order an India Pale Ale before he sits down. The regular servers will be on-hand to help out the rookie servers, who will get a
crash course before the night starts.
Christina Courtney, Overland Park senior and a server at 75th Street Brewery, is a former student in Martin's biology 100 class. She said the restaurant wanted Martin to participate because he frequently visits the restaurant and is highly visible on campus.
Courtney thought that since 75th Street had done a fundraiser in the past to support a local dental clinic, it could do something similar for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
"I think this is a really wonderful opportunity for the community to give back and support women with breast cancer," Courtney said. "They can do so much by just going out and eating like they normally do."

Judge refuses to dismiss all Sept. 11 damage claims
Edited by Mindy Ricketts
NATION
BY LARRY NEUMEISTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A federal judge on Tuesday refused to toss out claims by thousands of emergency workers who sued New York City and about 150 private contractors after the workers were sickened by dust at the World Trade Center site.
Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein dismissed claims against Consolidated Edison Co. and companies controlled by developer Larry Silverstein, saying they did not have legal control over the area and therefore were not liable for damages.
But Hellerstein said the city, its contractors and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey were only partially immune from lawsuits, with the precise scope and extent of the immunity varying according to date, place and activity.
Andrew J. Carboy, a lawyer for
plaintiffs, called the judge's decision "a first step forward in the legal system for these other victims of 9-11."
Carboy, who represents 210 clients, mostly firefighters, said Hellerstein's decision comes as the number of people making claims climbs as high as 8,000.
Michael A. Cardozo, the city's top lawyer, said a close study of the facts surrounding the claims will show that the city and its contractors were not liable.
Hellerstein said he will appoint a special master to help eliminate claims that should not be pressed and oversee a case that is "likely to become unmanageable."
"If even a minority of the plaintiffs suffered serious injuries to their respiratory tracts arising from the acrid air of September 11, their claims deserve to be heard when a recovery could make a difference in their lives," the judge wrote.

Growth changes nation Increasing population causes sprawl, loss of middle class
BY MARK VIERTHALER
For the past 40 years, virtually every time Deborah Peterson returned home to Michigan, another stretch of forest was missing.
"You come around a curve and where there used to be a forest, there's nothing," she said. "It just rips your guts out."
The United States is becoming a sub-urban country, meaning many people gravitate to single-family
said her biggest concern with the increase in population was the environment.

on how things have changed since the 200 million milestone in 1967. The problem with the increase isn't so much the concentration in one area or another as much as it is the tendency to sprawl, Peterson said.

dwellings outside large cities.
Peterson said she has also seen an increase in automobile congestion since she was a little girl.
Ronald Ash, business professor, said he noticed changes in a more social way.
During 1967 the United States was involved in the Vietnam War. At that time, Ash said the American public was beginning to raise concerns with the increasingly unpopular war.
He said more people are now raising the same concerns on the
War on Terror.
The most profound difference from almost four decades ago, he said, was the shifting of economics.
Between an increased population and a more competitive world market, Ash said it's harder for blue-collar workers to make ends meet. While in 1967 there was a strong middle class, he said present indicators show the U.S. heading to a larger gap between the upper and lower classes.
"I don't want to call them haves and have-nots," Ash said. "It would be more fitting to call them have-mores and have-lesses."
The population landmark hasn't been met with concern from the city.
Mayor Mike Amyx said although the number was significant, the commission hadn't considered marking the occasion in any way.

Denise Martinek, director of maternity and pediatrics at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said there were no babies born within the predicted time frame for the 300 million people. Although it would have been exciting to potentially have the 300 millionth person, it was impossible to determine who it was.
Meredith Kleycamp, assistant professor and social demographer, said Kansas won't be largely affected by the population increase until the United States begins pushing the 400 million mark.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the next 100 million milestone will be reached around 2043.

ELECTION 2006:
Decide for yourself
Campaigning, classes in store for candidates
Two students prepare to run against incumbents
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Election candidates' job titles are often professional positions, but for Rick Davis and Marcus Kirby, that title is full-time student.
2015.8
Both candidates aren't worried about their age affecting their chances of winning. What they are worried about is that
Kirbv
names won't be as recognizable as their opponents during the election Nov.7.
Political science professor Burdette Loomis said it's not uncommon for college students to run for office. Getting a nomination to run against an incumbent isn't hard he said, but a challenger's chances of winning aren't good because the opposing candidates are better-known. He's known several students who ran for office and won, but only after they had graduated from college.
The National Conference of Stage Legislatures, based in Denver, doesn't keep track of candidates' names and ages. Karl Kurtz, director of trust, recalled a couple cases where college students won elections, including Congressman Martin Sabo. In 1960, Sabo ran for congress in Minnesota while he was still in college. He won, and is now getting ready to retire.
Davis, a 23-year-old Phoenix junior, decided to run as a Republican candidate to represent the 44th District after he discovered that Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence) had no opponent. The 44th District
covers west c ent r al Lawrence.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Davis said Ballard has faced opponents three times in her eight terms as He
Davis
representative. He
decided this was reason enough to run even though his experience pales in comparison to Ballard's.
He has been involved in politics since he was 18. At the University of Nebraska at Kearney, he founded a chapter of College Republicans. He intermed with Nebraska Congressman Tom Osborne and was a 3rd District representative of the Nebraska Federation of College Republicans.
He said he spends 50 hours a week campaigning, 30 to 40 hours going door to door and 10 to 20 hours on the Internet researching and sending e-mails. When he's not knocking on Lawrence doors, he's studying political science, spending five to 10 hours doing homework. He squeezes in about three to four hours of sleep a night.
"I cut sleeping a lot." he said.
Marcus Kirby, Olathe junior, also decided to run because his opponent Paul Davis (D-Lawrence) was unopposed in the last two elections.
He is running as a Libertarian to represent the 46th District, which covers north-central Lawrence.
"I used to be a Democrat and lately I haven't noticed a difference between the two parties," he said. "I came to the realization that for any change to happen, the third party needs to have a voice."
Kirby admits that being a fulltime student and campaigning is going to be tough, but he doesn't foresee a problem.
"If I do win, I could start taking night classes," he said. "It would be a full-time job and a paying job so why not do it at the same time?"
Kirby is taking 15 credit hours, nine of which are courses for his political science major. About 12 hours a week he's working at Haye's Hamburger and Chill, 1410 Kasold St. He also devotes time to his "independent, math-rock" band called Parastrika and the KU Libertarians.
He campaigns in downtown Lawrence every weekend, handing out literature.
He said he knows he has to look and act professional to encourage a better response because of his age.
"My challenger has lived here all of his life," he said. "He has his work cut out for him and has an established name to where I have no real tie to the community. So it's more about name recognition now."

Roger Valadez sued Emmis Communications, then owner of KSNW, and its news director Todd Spessard, claiming the station defamed him in its coverage of his arrest on minor, unrelated warrants for trespassing and housing violations.

Spessard, who is named as a defendant in the lawsuit, took the stand Tuesday. Emmis Communication sold KSNW in January.
Spessard, who remained as news director after the sale, said he went into the station after getting a call sometime between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. after KAKE-TV reported a possible break in the BTK investigation.

Valadez is seeking in excess of $75,000 and a public apology, according to lawsuit.
"Now you have police watching Roger Valadez's house and you have a reporter watching the police," he suid.
KSNW was the only station to name Valadez on the air. "Every other station respected the rights of Mr. Valadez." Shultz said.
Shultz downplayed the connection to the BTK investigation, saying the police tip fingering his client was deliberately erroneous.
But Rhodes painted a far different scenario showing police took the tip seriously — staking out the Valadez home, getting a search warrant from the judge overseeing the BTK case, and assembling a swat team. He said police were convinced at the time that Valadez was a true BTK suspect and were awaiting DNA results.

WASHINGTON (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
ing to requested opportunities for interviews, Evard said the Athletics Department chose to place the program on probation.
"We said, we're going to take the high road here and were going to conclude that violations occurred;" Evrard said at the University's press conference last Thursday.
Washington said that she directed her staff to cooperate with the investigation and that Evard never talked to one of her former staff members who was named in the University's report.
Washington also said that she met with athletics director Lew Perkins in 2004 while she was still the coach to determine whether one of her players who had been under investigation could return to the team.
During the meeting, Washington said Perkins called Evrard and put him on speaker phone.
"I asked at that time if there was anything else Rick needed for his report," she said. "He said he had everything he needed."
Evrard said that phone conversation did occur and that he spoke to Washington several times during the investigation. His first formal interview with her was July 29, 2003. The investigation of the women's program began in June 2003 and continued through June 2005 when Kansas turned in its self report to the NCAA.
The University was investigating alleged violations in recruiting and institutional responsibilities that occurred in Summer 2002 and through the following academic year. The NCAA Committee on Infractions found that only one of the seven violations self reported by Kansas was actually a violation, and it was a secondary violation. The committee called the University's self-imposed penalties "disproportionate" to the infractions committed.
Washington coached at Kansas from 1973 to 2004, when she retired for health reasons. David J. Brown, Washington's attorney, did not return The Kansan's phone call when it attempted to reach him for comment Tuesday evening.

Nuclear test likely by North Korea
BY BO-MI LIM ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — Satellite images indicate North Korea appears to be getting ready for a second nuclear test, officials said Tuesday, as the defiant communist regime held huge rallies and proclaimed that U.N. sanctions amount to a declaration of war.
China, the North's longtime ally and biggest trading partner, warned Pyongyang not to aggravate tensions. The U.N. has condemned the Oct. 9 atomic blast.
Concern over a second test stems partly from new satellite imagery showing increased activity around at least two other North
Korean sites, a senior U.S. defense official said.
The activity, started a number of days ago, included ground preparation at one site and construction of some buildings and other structures, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it involved intelligence gathering.
A senior South Korean official told foreign journalists that despite signs of a possible second test, it was unlikely to happen immediately.
While U.S. officials insist they aren't about to invade, they have taken other steps against North Korea — even before the U.N. resolution — including severing it from the international financial system.

Violence erupts during Argentinian burial
BY BILL CORMIER ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN VICENTE, Argentina
SAN VICENTE, Argentina — A lavish rebullal ceremony for Argentine strongman Juan Domingo Peron degenerated into violence Tuesday, as rival factions hurled rocks at one another and riot police dispersed them with rubber bullets and tear gas.
The fighting between club-wielding groups of men on the fringes of a large and mostly peaceful crowd of thousands resulted in at least 40 injuries, according to local media reports. One man was televised firing a gun.
The violence was apparently sparked by members of rival factions of the Peronist party angry about not being able to gain entrance to the ceremony, according to local TV and newspaper reports. However, authorities had no immediate confirmation on the motives for the battles or the groups involved.
As Peron's cortege traveled from his old tomb in downtown Buenos Aires to the new mausoleum at his former weekend estate, thousands of weeping admirers tossed carnations and confetti.
Riot police tightly ringed the flag-draped coffin as it made its way toward the new crypt. As Peron's body was laid into the new mausoleum, hundreds of supporters clapped and velled "Viva! Long live Peron!"
The independent television network TodosNoticias captured the mid-afterno violence and showed one man with what appeared to be a handgun in a small group of men. The televised footage showed his gun recoiling four times in a matter of seconds, smoke rising from the barrel.
Before Peron's body arrived, men outside the estate, shirtless, unleashed a fusillade of rocks and sticks against the stout wooden entrance gate before. The violence lasted several minutes before groups inside put ladders up against the brick walls of the estate and lobbed rocks back in defense.
"This was supposed to be a faesta, a historic day. Instead it is a great
shame" said one woman fleeing with her family. Others left in cars with windows shattered by rocks.
Removed from the Peron family's relatively humble crypt at the Chacarita cemetery, Peron's body was borne in a coffin topped by a military cap and saber in an hourlong procession led by guards on horseback to a new $1.1 million mausoleum outside the capital. Authorities closed a major highway ahead of the sunset reburial

Members of rival political Peronist groups battle each other at the entrance to a new mausoleum for Juan Domingo Peron on Tuesday in San Vicente, some 45 kilometers south of Buenos Aires, as a motorized caravan bearing the Argentine strongman's remains were approaching, marrying plans for a lavish rebullary ceremony. The violence was apparently sparked by members of rival factions of the Peronist party angry about not being able to gain entrance to the ceremony.
"We are paying homage to our Peronist party, to the political party of our grandfathers and our fathers!" said 24-year-old Daniel Ferreri.
Peron dominated Argentine politics like no other 20th-century leader with his glamorous wife Evita at his side, cultivating an enormous working-class following by redirecting agricultural wealth to legions of urban poor through projects to build schools, hospitals and homes. Peron was elected president three times and died in office at age 78 in 1974.
Relatives of the late Eva Peron, or Evita, who died from cancer in 1952 at age 33, have opposed moving
her coffin from her family's tomb in the Recoleta cemetery in downtown Buenos Aires to lie beside her husband.
Nonetheless, the ceremonies underscored how the movement that bears Peron's name has suffered
deep fissures since his death: former presidents Carlos Menem and Eduardo Duhalde, rivals of current President Nestor Kirchner, and all Peronists, said they would not take part. Kirchner canceled plans to attend after the violence broke out.

New radar technology unearths meteorite below field
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
GREENSBURG — Scientists were excited when they pulled a 154-pound meteorite from deep below a Kansas wheat field, but what got them most electrified was the way they unearthed it.
The team Monday uncovered the find 4 feet under a meteorite-strewn field using new ground-penetrating radar technology that someday might be used on Mars.
It was that technology that pinpointed the site and proved for the first time that it could be used to find objects buried deep in the ground and to make an accurate three-dimensional image of them.
"It validates the technique so we can use something similar to that instrument when we go to Mars," said Patricia Reiff, director of the
Rice Space Institute.
Such GPR systems had been used in the past to locate smaller meteorites through the ice in Antarctica. But until the Kansas dig, the technology had not been successfully used for ground detection in heavy soils — like on Mars — to find meteorites or water there.
The dig was likely the most documented excavation yet of a meteorite find, with researchers painstakingly using brushes and hand tools to preserve evidence of the impact trail and to date the event of the meteorite strike. Soil samples also were bagged and tagged and organic material preserved for dating purposes.
"When we find a piece of meteorite, each one is a new sentence we add to the book to understand the evolution of the solar system," said Essam Heggy, planetary scientist at the Johnson Space Center's
Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston.
Even before they had the pallasite meteorite out of the ground, the scientific experts at the site were able to debunk prevailing wisdom that the spectacular Brenham meteorite fall occurred 20,000 years ago. Its location in the Pleistocene epoch soil layer puts that date closer to 10,000 years ago.
"Weknow it is recent," said Carolyn Sumners, director of Astronomy at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, as she surveyed progress on the dig. "Native Americans could have seen it."
The expedition was put together by the Houston Museum of Natural Science and led by meteorite hunters Steve Arnold and Philip Mani. Johnson Space Center's Lunar and Planetary Institute, the Rice Space Institute at Rice University and George Observatory in Houston also sent researchers.

steel cable.
Fewer than 1 percent of the meteorites discovered on earth are pallasite meteorites, known for their crystals embedded in iron, Mani said.
The Brenham field was discovered in 1882. Scientists have since traced pieces of the shower as far away as Indian mounds in Ohio, indicating the meteorites were traded as pieces of jewelry and ceremonial artifacts.
--are facing a deadlock in this election," said the Arab League's U.N. representative Yahya Mahmassani. "We look forward to the group of Latin American and Caribbean states to find a solution to this impasse, with the acquiescence and acceptance of the two candidates."
The site was largely forgotten in recent decades until Arnold and Mani leased eight square miles of it and began looking deep below the surface. More than 15,000 pounds of meteorites have been recovered from the area.
This week's find will end up as part of a new exhibit on comets, meteors and asteroids at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The museum will pay about $50,000 for it, Summers said. It is valued at more than $100,000, she said.
Sophisticated metal detectors at the site initially detected what had been thought to be the largest pallasite meteorite ever discovered. But ground-penetrating radar showed that the object was only a

Guatemala, Venezuela vie for U.N. seat Countries reject compromise for Latin American position on Security Council
BY NICK WADHAMS ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITEDNATIONS—Guatemala failed repeatedly to muster the necessary votes to beat out Venezuela for a Latin American seat on the
U. N. Security Council, prompting diplomats on Tuesday to demand a compromise candidate.
Both have so far refused, and the U.N. General Assembly scheduled yet more rounds of voting on Thursday by its 192 member nations. That left a day off for Latin American nations to try to find a solution.

Yet neither Venezuela nor Guatemala appeared willing to drop out of the election.
In the 22nd round of voting, Guatemala garnered 102 votes to Venezuela's 77. That result, similar to that of many of the previous rounds during the last two days, was 23 votes short of the two-thirds needed to win, and it now appeared that neither would be able to bridge the gap.
Venezuela's U.N. Ambassador Francisco Arias Cardenas complained that the United States pressed countries worldwide to prevent Venezuela from winning a seat on the 15-nation council.
"It's obvious that the General Assembly is sharply divided and we
The results were seen as a setback for Venezuela President Hugo Chavez, who had lobbied hard in capitals around the world, offering millions of petrodollars in aid.
"We are fighting against the first power of the world, the owners of the universe," Arias Cardenas said. "We're happy, we're strong and we will continue."
Diplomats said his bombastic speech to the General Assembly last month, when Chavez railed against the United States and called President Bush "the devil," may have hurt Venezuela's chances.

The vote, however, also reflected the ambivalence toward Guatemala. Washington's preferred candidate. Even Guatemalan Foreign Minister Gert Rosenthal had earlier expressed discomfort about the highly public U.S. campaign against Venezuela and in support of Guatemala.
After Monday's balloting, Rosenthal said his nation was an "independent voice" that would vote according to its own policies.
Roy Chaderton, the Venezuelan diplomat who played a key role in his country's campaign for the seat, said the results were only a minor setback in the long struggle against U.S. efforts to dominate international affairs.
The record number of ballots for a Security Council seat occurred in 1979, when the General Assembly held 154 unsuccessful votes to choose between Cuba and Colombia. Mexico was then put forward and won in the 155th round.
"This battle will prepare us for another battle within the international community," Chaderton told Venezuelan state television Sunday.
Possible other candidates include Uruguay, Costa Rica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

Young should speak up about war
These are difficult days for the war effort.
Daily attacks from insurgents present constant dangers for those fighting. Waning public support, mostly a product of political problems, has seemingly eroded a previously strong commitment. Most importantly, a parade of generals warning of civil war and interminable strife has dampened the administration's claims of progress.
We may now face an important crossroads in the Iraq and counterterrorism efforts. It may be time to finally decide if this effort is worth the cost required.
As young people, of whom not much sacrifice is asked, we are in a unique position to evaluate this question. We are supportive of our nation and government, but are inherently skeptical of any group that refuses to stray from an obviously flawed strategy. We may be the most unattached and
unbiased segment of society, as we have yet to form entrenched loyalties to other parties, and so we are in the best position to evaluate the war in terms of a cost-benefit analysis. Is the expected return of this war effort worth the monetary and human expense required?
This is an uncomfortable subject, as it is impossible to quantify the cost of a human life. But we do know that we are spending about $267 million a day in Iraq, a staggering amount by any measure. Is it worth it?
The country has devolved into a fractious state of warring parties, with Americans unfortunately caught in the middle. Military leaders warn of no end in sight. Is this what you get for roughly $97 billion a year? We can directly compare this cost to what we could have accomplished had this money been directed to homeland defense, port security
and other deserving areas.
Then there are the intangible effects: To what extent has this investment alienated and angered allies and enemies? Has this effort caused us to overlook a valid North Korean threat? Will the American populace ever trust another dire warning about impending threats?
Most of us are asked to give nothing to this war effort, so it is easy for us to examine it with the obvious benefits of hindsight and distance. Would we be so cavalier about perpetrating this war if it affected us more directly?
At some point, we young people must recognize a flawed strategy and seek a change in direction. We will be paying for this war for years to come, and it is time we started asking these questions.

How to use your job to score, legally
Mark Foley's attempts to use his job to attract the eyes of underage pages are well known. Unfortunately for this man well-learned in the law, it is illegal to have sex with a 16 year old.
For the rest of us law abiding non-senators, we have all tried, or thought about trying, to use our jobs to aid our search for a partner, both long and short term. Whether it's dating someone you work with or hitting on a customer, we want our low-paying jobs to pay off in other ways.
Unfortunately for us college students, we don't have the most glamorous jobs. Between being a server, working in retail, some form of part-time construction and/or landscaping or being a computer tech, there aren't a lot of perks that could attract a significant other. However, there are if you spin it right.
Let's use a gas station clerk, for example. Most people would assume this job sucks, and it probably does. However, there are two very "hot" items that you control the sale of in your store: gas and cigarettes.
Gas prices have finally fallen below the price of a gallon of milk, but that doesn't mean it is cheap — I still feel like I'm getting screwed every time I'm at the pump. So if I get offered cheap gas at the price of a picnic date in the park, I might just do it, even if it means carrying a wicker lunch basket and eating on

The cigarettes offer a more intriguing opportunity for the clerk
Each year, tobacco is becoming more and more criminalized. Lawrence has implemented a smoking ban that is being copied in cities around the country. It seems more restrictions are added to smoking every day.
The irony is, while tobacco is being criminalized, marijuana is gradually being decriminalized. In five years, you're going to have to pretend to be high just to enjoy a pack of Parliaments.
Plus, the price of cigarettes is always on the rise. Soon, cigarettes will be more expensive than crack.
"John, have you been smoking the rock?"
"Yes. I just wanted a pack of Marlboros, but who has that kind of cash?"
As a gas station clerk, not only can you offer cheap cigarettes, but you can also offer an indoor place for the hot girl and her friends to smoke. Play a little techno music, and you have yourself a party scene
If you work in retail, especially a
clothing a store, you've been given a great opportunity. You can actually practice undoing clothes without another person involved. This practice can help you not fumble with that zipper, button or bra in the dark when it really matters.
If you're really crafty, you could try this: Bet your honey/boo that you can have his or her pants unbuttoned and unzipped in less than two seconds. A friendly bet becomes a lot more fun with your zipping and buttoning mastery.
If you work for a landscaping company in your free time, you have a great way of getting a first date. Go to the person's house you want to date, and with some planted flowers, bushes and trees, spell out, "Dinner and a movie?" in the front lawn.
You can out-do all those spoiled Laguna Beach kids who think writing "Prom?" on their chest is so great. Plus, how can anyone say no to that much effort?
Most of us without landscaping knowledge would butcher this technique. We would probably just dig up a bunch of dirt in a shape that spelled out, "Movie?", which we would spell wrong.
You see, just because our parttime college jobs suck doesn't mean we can't use them to our advantage.

Howdy, friend! How Facebook has redefined our relationships
On a crisp fall evening before rehearsal, one of my high school students walked up to me and asked if he could be my friend on Facebook. I had to reply no. I am there as his teacher, not his friend
— even though I am only a few years older than him and still in school myself, perhaps a school he will be at in a year's time. I am a student teacher working in a local high school in my last semester of my undergraduate degree.
On Facebook I have friends. That is the label given to the people I know. Although I can specify my relationship, they are still listed as friends. Should I join a network attached to a company, my coworkers would be my friends on the site, not coworkers as they are to me.
In the world as we know it, people from many different networks interact with each other in very specific ways. At school, work, the doctor's, when I teach students or work at summer camp, there is an expectation of how interaction occurs, and there is, of course, variance and crossover of people and forms of interaction.
That is not to say I can't be friends with my coworkers, just that I have a distinctly different relationship with them than the people I associate with at school. This creates an interesting interaction for professionals and non-professionals alike.
If I join a regional or other network, this expands further and becomes more complex. Let's use the example of a youth group leader I know. When I came up in my church community he was a mentor
This interconnectedness blurs the lines and established rules of interaction. Is the youth group leader's professionalism undermined at work because he goofs off with teenagers at church or because he sang karaoke after throwing back a few at the bar on Friday night? Does his youth group lose faith in him if he can't be as relaxed on Facebook and with them because he has to maintain a level of professionalism for his job?
The next generation of youth group leaders will have a very different experience. In light of Facebook, these different areas could have much interaction very readily. Events planned for the church youth group are listed, parties of friends are listed and office parties might be listed as well. Students who look up to the person as a mentor can see what he did on Friday night, as his coworkers can see what he does with his youth group.
For my own situation there are many similar questions. I have my own battles to fight as a young teacher in a high school. I am very near the age of my older students and many of them look to younger teachers, such as myself, as friends on Facebook. The student/teacher role has been around for many year in relatively the same form. It is a
This generation and all that follow will know interconnectedness and nothing else. There will be no time when they couldn't call anyone anywhere or send them a message that is delivered in seconds. Facebook has already shown that it has the ability to do great things. It brings people together in ways never before possible. It has recently become an agent for social awareness, activism and action.
Every generation faces its own challenges. The students currently in high school and college will live in a much more interconnected world than their parents and teachers. Computers and the Internet have already allowed for a great sharing of knowledge and information faster and much more broadly than ever before. Instant messaging, e-mail and cell phones have created an immediacy to the shared connectedness. This generation will struggle with social boundaries. What is the role of the teacher, the student, the friend, the mentor, the boss, the employee? Can these all be the same person? At the same time? To the same people?
professional working relationship. With Facebook, students and their teachers are being placed together in social networks where they are equals.
It will also present many challenges concerning the sharing of information with persons and the interaction of people in different roles.

Retired faculty stay nearby
Sprague Apartments house former KU faculty members
BY TYLER NOAH
Surroundedbycontraistingscholarship halls and student-populatedhars, the Sprague Apartments havea different kind of atmosphere. Located at 1400 Llac Lane, it is abuilding completely occupied by retired KU faculty members,who appreciate the convenience that Sprague offers.
Founded in 1960 by Elizabeth Cade Sprague, a former professor at the University of Kansas, the Sprague Apartments were erected as a memorial to Elizabeth's sister, Amelia. She donated money to the Kansas Endowment Association, a non-profit organization used for raising private funds beneficial to the University, and in 1960, a 10-apartment, red-brick apartment building was constructed with hopes of "providing furnished housing for retired faculty," said Daryl Beene, senior vice president of property for the Endowment Association and current coordinator of the Sprague Apartments.
Sprague was responsible for the establishment of home economics classes at the University, and taught from 1914 until her retirement in 1941. Sprague had always wanted to contribute to her surroundings, as her donation showed.
Most people know little about the Sprague Apartments, even though they are nestled amidst a flurry of student activity. Nevertheless, the facility is extremely rich in tradition and history. Stored under a coffee table in the lobby is a pair of scrapbooks documenting the timeline of Sprague and the lives of previous residents. There are pictures, postcards and newspaper clips that document an overwhelming sense of legacy and friendship.
Sprague sits on top of the 14th Street hill at the edge of campus. Six apartments contain two bedrooms, while the remaining three are single bedroom units. The main parking lot sits directly on campus only a few paces away, and with balconies overlooking the rear parking lot, residents can enjoy warmer days by sitting outside in a calm neighborhood near campus.
Surprisingly enough, Buene said he has no recollection of noise complaints as a result of the neighboring bar scene. The bars have never been an issue, he said. With scholarship halls at the foot of the Sprague parking lot, the immediate noise level is Kent to a minimum.
Not far away, residents can enjoy political, educational and community events put together by the Endacot Society, an association for retired faculty members.
Beene said that the complex consists of "a great group of people who can help each other if help is needed."
Residents must fulfill certain requirements in order to live at Sprague Apartments, but with a legacy spanning almost 50 years, Sprague Apartments still has a long waiting list.

》SERENITY NOW
Mangino not performing to expectations
---
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
KANSAN COLUMNIST
FDAVIS@KANSAN.COM
It appears the University of Kansas now has two cases of lack of institutional control.
In addition to Lew Perkins and his band of goodfellas, err, henchmen, err, associates, it's clear to me, and probably the other 41,202 in attendance Saturday afternoon, that Mark Mangino and his staff have lost control of the football team.
Saturday's debacle had an eerie Terry Allen-like feel to it from the beginning. The crowd was slow to trickle in, and when it finally did, people were more concerned with figuring out what bar to go to after the game or whether that free keg was on Mississippi Street or Ohio Street. What, we're winning 17-0? No worries, the big guy will figure out another way to lose this one.
And boy did he ever. In what was the most uncomfortable 17-point lead I've ever seen, there was never a feeling that Kansas had the game locked up. Especially when Kerry Meier was either running a quarterback draw or throwing the ball five yards down the field, or to the side of the field, or as was often the case; not throwing the ball at all and taking a sack.
It was more a lame-duck throw on fourth and goal from the two and turnovers that killed Oklahoma State than it was anything the KU defense was doing.
And that second half? Man, was that some exciting football! Can we clone Qajib Talib? But the most laugh able part of the KU game was afterward when Mangino said hed give his Heisman vote to OSU receiver Adarius Bowman for his 13-catch-301-yard- and four-touchdown performance. Is that so, coach? Well, if you're going to reward players who torch the KU secondary, Bowman will have to fight for honors with his quarterback Bobby Reid, Nebraska's Zac Taylor, or Louisiana-Monroe's Kinsmond Lancaster.
The deal is this: I've maintained my allegiance to the big guy and said that he is the right guy to lead Kansas to Big 12 success. While I wasn't sure about him getting a hefty contract extension, hey, Lew didn't ask for my input. Sure Mangino has done some great things in his time here, like ending streaks to Nebraska and Kansas State and beating Missouri three years in a row.
But there are some glaring, scratch that, blinding blips on Mangino's coaching radar. Most notably? The guy can't win close games and he can't win on the road. Hold on a second, let me check the Handbook for Coaching Success; it's in my bookcase, right next to How to Avoid a First-Round Flameout – Three Years in a Row, Coach Self, feel free to borrow; okay, here it says, "must win close games and road games, at least one in every three, to someday be successful."
Don't shoot the messenger, boys and girls.
Broadcasting with personality
I know Mark Mangino has been successful in the turnaround of two Big 12 programs – I’m reminded of it every time I read KU football notes for an upcoming game. But let’s remember one thing – he did that as an assistant coach, not the head coach. Mangino built himself a lot of equity with the last two seasons when nobody expected much. Now that people do, well, we haven’t gotten much. I want to see Mangino turn around a third program, but I’m not sure how many more close losses and road failures this guy can survive to see it through.

Bob Davis, who has announced football and men's basketball for the Jayhawks for 23 years, will be inducted into the Kansas Broadcasters Hall of Fame on Sunday. Davis's enthusiasm for the Jayhawks and his sense of humor have made him popular with both listeners and co-workers.

Both fan and funny man longtime Jayhawk announcer Bob Davis to be honored
BY C.J. MOORE
Kerry Meier drops back to pass and finds a wide-open Marcus Herford down the field for a 35-yard touchdown. Just like on any big Jayhawk play, Bob Davis lifts out of his chair in the radio booth near the top of Memorial Stadium, head shaking, God-given radio voice booming.
His excitement is heard by those sands of listeners across the state.
Now, after 39 years in the booth, Davis is being inducted into the Kansas Broadcasters Hall of Fame this Sunday.
"Well gosh," Davis said. "I guess I've been around for a while."
The A.M. Man
Davis has done television — he spends his summers doing playby-play on the Kansas City Royals television network — but it's on the radio where his skills and personality shine through.
Davis started his career at KAYS in Hays where he did both radio and television sports and news. He was hired right out of college - he maired in History at Washburn graduating in 1967 - and did a little bit of everything. He was on the noon TV news, played records on the radio in the afternoon and did the 10 oclock sports on the news telecast.
He found his way to the sports radio booth right away after KAYS's play-by-play man got a job in Lansing, Mich., soon after Davis' arrival.
"They were dumb enough to hire me." Davis said. "And not to be braggadocio, but that was a pretty good small-market operation and I think they very rarely hired anybody that didn't have experience fall time. But I was willing to work both radio and TV."
Davis fell in love with his job
while announcing high school and college basketball and football games in Fort Hays. He moved to Lawrence in 1983 to become the voice of the Jayhawks. He loved sports growing up, but because he wasn't much of a player on the field, he decided he would be more of a natural fit in the booth.
"Stumbled around mostly," Davis says of his playing days. "So that why I think I thought, 'man, I think the broadcast might be my catch.'"
Davis not only loves calling games but is also a sports radio broadcast junkie. On the way to away games, his co-workers said he insisted they listen to Friday-night high school games during the entire trip. His son, Steven Davis, said he even listened during the backyard pickup games they played together.
"He always has the radio on," Steven said. "He doesn't know the FM. side exists, but he knows every A.M. station in the Midwest."
Working overtime
Davis struggles to pull himself away from his craft. He announces Kansas football in the fall, Kansas basketball in the winter and spring and Royals baseball throughout the summer. Before he started announcing Royals games, Davis was a sports talk show host on KMBZ in Kansas City.
"Hed be up at the crack of dawn – that booming voice on the phone doing his morning sports report," Newton said. "And I'd open one eye and look over there and he's sitting in his shorts on the bed with his legs
Davis still had to do his gig with KMBZ when the Jayhawks were on the road. Producer-engineer of the Jayhawk network Bob Newton, who used to room with Davis on road trips, remembers the morning broadcasts all too well.

FOOTBALL
Away games crucial to postseason play Repeat bowl game appearance relies on overcoming October funk
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
The temperature around the Kansas football team is starting to heat up this week.
No, Mark Mangino isn't feeling additional pressure in anticipation of the 90-degree temperatures expected this weekend in Waco, Texas. Instead, it's the increasing sense of urgency his team is starting to feel as its postseason goals may slowly be slipping away.
The Kansas football coach said he began to feel that sense of urgency during the team's Sunday afternoon workout. "There's a lot of hard work invested here and there's nobody, there's nobody ready to throw the towel in," Mangino said. "We still have a chance to do a lot of things here."
If Kansas wants to qualify for a bowl game in back-to-back seasons for the first time in program history, it will have to pull itself out of its traditional October slump. Under Mangino, Kansas is just 3-15 in the month of October. The only victories in that month have been against Baylor in 2003, Kansas State in 2004 and Missouri in 2005. All
those victories were at home.
"We know that we have to get back on track and get back on track fast because things could get a little tough" sophomore wide receiver Marcus Herford said. "We've seen them make things tough for us these past years, but we're in a position that if we can pick it up now, it'll make it easier for us as we go along."
Getting back to a bowl game is within reach, but could be tough. To do it, Kansas will have to snap its six-game road losing streak and win at least one away game.
A victory this weekend against Baylor could help, but the schedule doesn't get any easier. Three of the team's remaining five games are away from Memorial Stadium, including Baylor (3-4), Iowa State (3-4) and Missouri (6-1). The remaining home games are against Colorado (1-6) and Kansas State (4-3).
While he acknowledged that his team feels a sense of urgency, Mangino said that was no reason to start shaking up the team's routine.
"That's a sign of panic," he said.
"It sends a bad signal to the players."
In keeping with his team's routine, Mangino said he'll continue to stick with some of his younger players, despite their struggles in conference play. Part of the learning curve, he said, is battling through tough times and continuing to improve.
"That's what it's about, just keep at it," Mangino said. "Keep sawing wood."
Football Notes:
Peterson out for the season with an injury, senior running back Jon Cornish has a chance to become the Big 12 Rushing Champion. He's ranked second in the conference, behind Peterson, averaging 109.3 yards a game. Peterson will drop from the list as the season moves forward.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Junior becomes Self's first choice for walk-on player
Witherspoon, Humboldt junior, was chosen to be a walk-on this season for the Kansas men's basketball team.
He participated in open tryouts, held Oct. 15 in Allen Fieldhouse. All full-time students at the University were eligible for the tryouts.
When contacted by The University Daily Kansan on Tuesday, Witherspoon confirmed his selection, but said that he would wait to comment until a formal introduction.
This is the first time in coach Bill Self's three-year tenure that he has chosen a player from open tryouts to join the team.
There are currently 14 players on the roster. Witerspoon would make 15, though the future of junior center CJ. Giles is in jeopardy
Witherspoon joins sophomore guard Brennan Bechard and sophomore center Matt Kleinmann, who were invited to walk on the team.
The most famous walk-on in recent memory was Christian Moody who came to Kansas as a walk-on but later became a starter and scholarship player.

Cubs sign new manager with three-year contract
1
CHICAGO, III. - Lou Piniella's coming to Wrigley Field, agreeing to a three-year contract to manage the Chicago Cubs
His assignment: Get to the playoffs and win a championship with a franchise that hasn't been to a World Series since 1945 and hasn't won one since 1908.
and accepting a job that has long been one of the most challenging in baseball.
Piniella, who will be introduced Tuesday at a news conference, has a deal that is worth about $10 million.
Piniella replaces Dusty Baker, another veteran manager with a strong resume, who left after four years when his contract was not renewed following a 66-96 last-place finish in the National League.
Piniella has 19 years' experience managing in the big leagues with four teams: the Yankees, Reds, Mariners and Devil Rays.

Ravens get rid of offensive coordinator
3
BALTIMORE, Md. - Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick has fired offensive coordinator Jim Fassel and will take over the play-calling for the Ravens offense.
Billick said it was difficult for him to let Fassel go, saying he has been "a valuable and loyal coach to me." However, he added, "clearly, in order for us to expand on our 4-2 start we have to have more offensive productivity"
Fassel was in his second year as the Ravens' offensive coordinator after serving a season with the team as a senior consultant to the offense.
He previously served as head coach of the New York Giants from 1997 to 2003, guiding the Giants to two NFC East titles, a conference championship, an appearance in
A
the Super Bowl and a wild-card playoff berth.

surgery, according to a
newspaper report Tuesday.
For more information or to volunteer, call the Multicultural Resource Center 864-4350
Johnson, after consulting with Dr. Robert Andrews, a noted Los Angeles back specialist, will set a date for surgery later this week, according to a story in the Newark Star Ledger.
Johnson was diagnosed with a herniated disk in his back following an MRI in September. He pitched in the postseason with a sore back.
The Star Ledger quoted a "person familiar with the diagnosis" as similar to one Johnson had in 1996, when he also underwent back surgery. The same source is quoted as saying Johnson should be in the Yankees' rotation for spring training.
The 43-year-old Johnson was 17-11 with a 5.00 ERA this year. He lost his only postseason start at Detroit.

Sooners' linebacker disturbs the peace
NORMAN, OK. - Linebacker Rufus Alexander, Oklahoma's leading tackler, was arrested after a confrontation with police.
Alexander said he was trying to stop a fight early Sunday. He was charged with disturbing the peace and interfering with official process -- both misdemeanors -- and was released after posting bail.
After practice Monday, coach Bob Stoops said any disciplinary action would be internal.
"Internally we'll do some work with him in some ways unless we find out something different," Stoops said.

The men's golf team tied with USC for fifth place Tuesday. The Jayhawks, who barely made it in to the Top 100 last season, are close to a top 25 ranking.
MEN'S GOLF
Consecutive top-five finishes showcase improvement, success
BY ASHER FUSCO
After fighting through a disappointing 2006 season and enduring the loss of assistant coach Roy Edwards during the summer, there were quite a few question marks surrounding the Kansas men's golf team.
After a fourth-consecutive top-five finish, the only question that remains is just how far the Jayhawks can climb.
Helped by some exceptional play from the senior tandem of Gary Woodland and Tyler Docking, Kansas finished in a tie for fifth place at the Prestige at PGA West tournament.
Coming into the tournament, Woodland was the Jayhawks lone star. On Tuesday, he was more than willing to share the spotlight
with Docking. Docking rebounded from a first-round 75 to post a second-round 69 and a third-round 67 that ultimately lifted him into a tie with Woodland for fourth place.
"Tyler Docking got off to such good starts in the second and third rounds," coach Ross Randall said. "It was great to see him regain some confidence in his game."
Woodland had trouble with his putting throughout the tournament, but managed to fire a 70 in Tuesday's final round to secure his fourth-straight Top-10 finish.
Sophomore Zach Pederson showed vast improvement over a poor showing on Monday, shooting a 69 in the third round to move into a tie for 31st place.
Senior Barrett Martens and freshman Bobby Knowles finished
in 66th and 70th places, respectively. Both players tied for those spots.
The tournament, held at the Greg Norman Course in LaQuinta, Calif., featured some of the strongest teams from across the nation within the 16-team field.
The team that Kansas tied for fifth, USC, entered the tournament first in the nation in the most recent Golfweek national rankings.
Stanford finished two strokes ahead of runner-up UCLA to take home the team title. Zack Miller of Stanford won the individual competition with a score of 207, just four strokes better than Woodland and Docking.
The Jayhawks entered the tournament ranked 27th nationally and figure to move into the Top 25
after the impressive showing. For a team that struggled to break the Top 100 for much of last season, success on the national level is refreshing and not to be taken for granted.
"Obviously I'm very pleased with the way we're playing." Randall said. "The guys are starting to come around, but there is always some work to do."
Kansas will look to continue their run toward the top of the rankings in Wilmington, N.C., on Oct. 27 at the Landfall Tradition Tournament.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Conference coaches praise injured Sooner
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — He's the closest thing to Barry Sanders that Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy says he's ever seen. Iowa State's Dan McCarney called him "truly an amazing football player."
To Texas coach Mack Brown, he's one of the best running backs ever.
Now Adrian Peterson is probably finished as a college football player. Nevertheless, the coaches he had bedeved with his speed, power and shiftiness were full of praise after the
Oklahoma star broke his collarbone Saturday.
"I grew up in this state. I watched Billy Sims, (Elvis) Peacock, all those guys," Gundy said on the Big 12 coaches' Monday conference call.
"He's the closest I've seen to Barry Sanders. I really hated to see that he got hurt. He's an amazing runner. I'm sure we'll see a lot more of him in the future on Sunday."
Peterson was at the end of a 53-yard touchdown run in No. 20 Oklahoma's 34-9 victory over Iowa State on Saturday when he was hurt. The best-case scenario is that the
talented junior, the first Oklahoma back to amass 3,000 yards rushing in his first two seasons, might get back in time for a bowl game.
"He's as good as any I've seen, including Heisman Trophy winners." McCarney said. "He is truly an amazing football player. He had two runs in that game, I don't know if wed had 14 or 15 guys on the field wed have stopped him. Hopefully, he'll go on and have a great career."
The Sooners are determined to plow on without him.
"I feel strongly as a team we'll overcome it," said Oklahoma coach
Bob Stoops.
Three possible replacements are juniors Allen Patrick and Jacob Gutierrez and freshman Mossis Madru.
"We'll be able to overcome the loss and do well," Stoops said. "No one in our program feels it will hold us back. We're just disappointed for him personally."
It seems difficult to believe the loss of such a high-quality back will not weaken the Sooners.
"Adrian is one of the best backs to ever play game, a tenacious runner," Brown said. "We hate it for him."

crossed, media guides and newspapers and stat sheets spread out all over the bed, doing, 'Bob Davis, 980, KMBZ sports.' And I'd look over and say, 'if people could only see this.' And he goes, "don't tell anybody."
Respected among peers
Those who work with him - Newton, his football broadcast partner David Lawrence and Jayhawk Radio Network general manager
Angela Haar – all say the same thing about Davis: he's great at what he does.
"He doesn't make mistakes so it's hard to get a mistake to tease him on because he's just really good at what he does." Lawrence said.
Newton and Lawrence both said even though Davis is so talented, he doesn't let it go to his head. Davis has gotten to where he is by knowing his place in the broadcasts.
"I've always thought the game was the thing," Davis said. "People might like an announcement but they really

tune in to hear the game. And that's what they're interested in - not so much hearing your head rattle"
Davis is also entertaining off the air. His co-workers said on road trips he always tells stories and makes them laugh. He used to get Max Falkenstien, his former partner in the booth, laughing so hard that
Falkenstien would tell him, "Don't make me laugh. I'm going too hoarse. I'm not going to be able to talk during the game."
Davis said he's the same person on and off the air.
"You've just got to be yourself," he said. "I listened to a lot of people growing up and I don't think I cautiously patterned myself after anybody. But I think the thing about sports casting is there are probably about as many ways to do it as there are people doing it.
"And I don't think you can be
somebody you're not. If you have enthusiasm, I think it has to be genuine and not forced. I know some guys who rarely get excited or are excited at a time when it's really not time to be. I just think you have to be what you are and hopefully it works."
Davis doesn't try to hide that he's a Jayhawk fan, but he's a broadcaster first.
"I think he's got the perfect balance of being a homer and being a journalist," Newton said.
When the jayhawk score a touchdown, one of their biggest fans can
be found in the radio booth - leaping out of his chair and excitedly telling the world.
"His heart and soul are in those broadcasts." Haar says. "He's as fired up as those people in the stands are - if not more. He's got that same energy as the people taking the goalposts down."

Florida International, Miami punish players for on-field brawl

There were many other violent acts committed during the fight, yet those were the ones that the schools apparently deemed the most grievous.
"What was envisioned as an opportunity for two hometown teams to provide an evening of athletic competition resulted in a brawl that brought embarrassment to the teams, our universities, and our community," Miami president Donna Shalala wrote Monday in a letter posted on the school's Web site.
Shalala will meet with FIU president Mitch Maidique on Thursday to determine if next season's game between the teams will be played. An
announcement will be made by the weekend, Shalala said.
Miami ordered each of its other 12 players suspended along with Reddick to serve community service, plus said it "re-emphasized" the importance of sportsmanship to coach Larry Coker and members of his staff.
The brawl was the third on-field incident in Miami's past seven games;
the Hurricanes also fought with LSU after losing last season's Peach Bowl and trampled Louisville's midfield Cardinals logo before playing there last month, an act widely viewed as taunting.
Former Miami player Lamar Thomas lost his TV analyst job with Comcast Sports SouthEast over comments he made during the brawl. CSS will also edit out those
comments before replaying the game later this week.
"You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked," Thomas said during the fight. "You don't come into the OB playing that stuff. You're across the ocean over there. You're across the city. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You'll get your butt beat."

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Marquee match-up begins this weekend for national title
Longhorns must boost defense to master 'Huskers
Harry Cahbuck/ASSOCIATED PRESS
HORNLIFE
RUSH
TEXAS
The defending national champion Longhorns couldn't help but be a bit surprised to find themselves all the way down at No. 9 in the season's first Bowl Championship Series standings released this week. Texas wide receiver Quan Cosby here attempts to excite the crowd during the pre-game warm-up before his team's 63-31 victory over Baylor in a football game Saturday in Austin, Texas.
The Big 12's marque match-up will be in Lincoln, Neb., this weekend as Texas and Nebraska face off in a battle for Big 12 supremacy. Alex Blair wrote this article for Tuesday's edition of The Daily Texan.
TEXAS UNIVERSITY
Now that the Baylor scare is behind them, Texas has to get ready for the big-
year: No. 17 Nebraska.
Ohio State was big, but not as important as the result Saturday. The Longhorns are still in the national title picture, even with a loss to the Buckeyes. They won't be if they lose this weekend in Lincoln, Neb.
And with the Longhorn pass
defense what it is, a loss to the Cornhuskers is a distinct possibility.
Though Baylor couldn't keep the Longhorns out of the end zone, they still passed all over Texas and scored 31 points. It was only the sixth time that the Bears scored more than 30 against Texas since 1950 and the first time in 12 years. Baylor threw for an incredible 320 yards. That's more yards than the Bears threw for against TCU, Washington State, Army, Kansas State and Colorado. When Texas couldn't rush the passer, Bell was able to find his open receivers, who were Legion.
The game might have been a laugher at the end, but the Longhorns were exposed as a team who can't defend the pass.
Ohio State showed that to be true. The Buckeyes only collected
79 rushing yards, but threw for 269. Troy Smith bolstered his Heisman chances by throwing for 10.3 yards per pass and two touchdowns.
The Longhorns have had no relief from the bombardment in conference play. Besides Baylor's aerial display, Iowa State's Bret Meyer threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns. Two weeks ago, Oklahoma's Paul Thompson threw for 209 yards, with a 7.7 yards per pass average. Who knows? If the Sooners hadn't been so dedicated to Adrian Peterson and called more pass plays, the outcome might have been different.
It's obvious at this point that the one starter from last year's squad that Texas misses the most isn't Vince Young, but lockdown coverman Michael Huff. And that spells trouble against senior quarterback Zac Taylor and Nebraska's West Coast offense.
The Cornhuskers are averaging 240 yards per game through the air and are averaging almost a first down every time they throw. As if that's not enough, Nebraska is also balanced. The Cornhuskers are also the Big 12's top rushing team, averaging more than 200 yards per game. A good ground game fuels the success of Taylor's aerial attack.
Not to be overlooked is the Huskers' vaunted Blackshirts defense. Nebraska is first in the conference in scoring defense, second in turnover margin and fourth in rush defense
Suffice to say, Nebraska is easily the toughest opponent left on Texas' schedule. Texas Tech, who Texas travels to next weekend, has lost to Missouri, TCU and - worst of all - Colorado. Texas A&M got beat by Texas Tech, then had a win handed to them by Mizzou.
For Texas, the road to the Big 12 Championship and a third BCS berth in three years runs through Lincoln. And the Longhorns have got to be concerned.

The Tigers did not sniff the end zone after that. All hope was lost after Tony Temple was tackled short of a first down on an option play called on fourth and two (another questionable play call).
Coaches often say that you learn a lot more about a team after losses. We certainly learned a lot about the Tigers on Saturday. They have obvious weaknesses in stopping the run and turning the ball over. The fact that they have no ability to run the ball in between the tackles could also be considered a problem.

Tigers coach bungles play, hands victory to Aggies
Missouri lost its first game of the season on Saturday, falling to Texas A&M. Shawn Garrison wrote this column for Tuesday's Maneater.
ball team's coach.
from the bench. It simply defies logic.
It's now important to keep things in perspective. Despite Pinkel's vintage performance, he is still the favorite to win Big 12 coach of the year, and the Tigers are still capable of winning a conference championship. But next week's Homecoming game against Kansas State will be a defining moment of this season for Missouri.
M
Tiger fans were given a not-so-friendly reminder on Saturday that Gary Pinkel is still the Missouri foot-
Despite three backbreaking turnovers, the Tigers had the ball in the Texas A&M 5-yard line in the fourth quarter and were looking to take back the lead and momentum. Quarterback Chase Daniel was conveying images of Tom Brady and John Elway, as it appeared that despite his team's poor effort, he was going to do whatever was necessary to carry his team to victory.
Then Pinkel took over. He inexplicably decided to take a delay of game penalty on fourth-and-goal from the Aggie 4-yard line. Then he made the mind-blowing decision of having his team attempt a fake field goal, and wide receiver Brad Ekwerkwu was tackled well short of the end zone.
Now, I could write a thesis about what's wrong with this play calling, but I'll try to just hit some of the major flaws. First off, if you're going to go for it on a fourth down, whether it is with your offense or a trick play, you cannot take a delay of game penalty. That's common sense, and I hope that it was some sort of miscommunication, which is still inexucable when you have timeouts remaining.
The biggest problem I had with this decision was the fact that the ball was taken out of Daniel's hands for the biggest play of the game. If this had happened earlier in the game it would be one thing, but this was a fourth-and-goal during the fourth quarter in which the all-important momentum was about to swing one way or the other.
Whether the team comes out reasserting its dominance with a convincing victory or has another lackadaisical performance will set the stage for the rest of the season and ultimately determine whether the hype surrounding this team for the past few weeks was justified.
This is the point in the game where you call a play you're comfortable running, give the ball to Daniel and hope for the best. Daniel had a record as a starter of 37-1 going back to his high school days for a reason. He knows how to make the plays that win ball games.

NCAA BASKETBALL
University of Florida coach calls for better performance
Despite strong tournament showing, accomplishments, players accept criticism in working to improve standards
BY JENNA MARINA
INDEPENDENT FLORIDA ALLIGATOR
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Although the Gators reached the pinnacle of college basketball last season, UF coach Billy Donovan thinks his team didn't live up to its potential.
"I went back and watched a lot of the NCAA Tournament games, and you know what — we didn't play well," he said before Madness 2006. "If you looked totally at the scoreboard, we were a dominating team, but we really were not a dominating team if you looked at how we played."
Senior Lee Humphrey was not
surprised at his coach's point of view.
"That's kind of how I figured Coach would be, because even in our wins during the regular season, we always looked at film and where we could make improvements," Humphrey said. "I think Coach mentioned — when we were getting ready for the Canadian trip — that we made a lot of defensive mistakes that we could improve on. I think it's good that Coach looks at those things to make us a better team."
It's hard to imagine UF performing any better in the 2006 tournament.
The Gators held four of their six
NCAA opponents under 60 points and defeated teams by an average of 16 points per game.
Individual players achieved record-breaking accomplishments as well.

Then-sophomore Joakim Noah blocked an NCAA Tournament-record 29 shots, and Humphrey drained a UF NCAA Tournament-record 22 three-pointers.
Still, the players accept Donovan's take.
"Coach is always the type of guy that feels like we can get better at something," junior Al Horford said. "I think we played pretty well, but obviously you can always get better. You have to believe when he says that we can get better. You always got to stay on edge and try to work on something new."

With that in mind, the team has endured daily two-a-days since its two-hour practice before Madness 2006 on Friday.
"Their energy, their focus, their competitiveness has been terrific," Donovan said. "We've got to do a little bit more fine-tuning on things. Because of the Canada trip, were further along in terms of what's been implemented."
Pinnacle Career Institute
While Donovan and the rest of the Gators have repeatedly said they do not want to look back on last season, they may be doing just that in the weeks to come.
"I'm going to show them film of the Villanova game and the George Mason game," Donovan said, "and say, 'You know what, this is us, and we can be better than we were'"
"Top of the Hill" Optometrist Office, Dr. Kevin Lenahan Optometrist and Associates, Get Help in a Big Way from One of KU's Own Chris Arnold.
I am very grateful to you for your help in getting the project started. I will be glad to see all of you at our next meeting.
Chris Arnold grew up in the Midwest. Dr. Arnold attended the University of Kansas where he received his undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. He then persued his optometry profession by attending the University of Missouri - St. Louis School of Optometry located in St. Louis, Missouri.
Dr. Arnold is currently a member of the American Optometric Association, as well as the Kansas Optometric Association. His special interests include ocular pathology, contact lenses, and pediatrics. Dr. Arnold practices in both the Lawrence and Topeka offices. He currently resides in Lawrence, Kansas, where he is an avid Jayhawk fan.
My favorite part about the optometry profession would be the day to day interaction with different individuals as well as being able to provide a service that will enrich one's life.
What is your favorite part about your profession?
What is your fondest KU memory?
Returning to Lawrence to watch the KU men's basketball team make its run at a National Championship in 2003. The atmosphere and energy in this town after each win was second to none.
What would you consider to be your greatest accomplishment? One of my most defining accomplishments is when I was inducted into Beta Sigma Kappa National Optometric Honor Society while obtaining my optometric degree at St. Louis.

New allegations
Mother: Giles owes me delinquent child support
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS AND SHAWN SHROYER
A day after being suspended from the basketball team, C.J. Giles will now face questions regarding legal problems that have nothing to do with basketball.
Giles will go to court next Monday to respond to allegations that he has failed to pay $4,097 in child support, according to the mother of his 19-month-old child. The Kansan has chosen to withhold the mother's name.
When reached Wednesday night,
she said she and Giles were still on good terms, and that she told him before she filed the lawsuit.
"I'm just asking him to take responsibility for what's his," she said.
Giles did not respond to phone calls seeking comment Wednesday night.
The mother has been raising the child by herself, but has received assistance from Giles' father.
tance from Giles father, Chester.
The court date will be next
Monday.
Coach Bill Self addressed the media after the teams practice on Tuesday and said Giles' issues were
Giles
primarily school-related, but not exclusively.
When reached by phone Wednesday afternoon, Web declined to comment beyond what he had already said. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony echoed Self's statement.
"We've said all we're going to say about C.J. at this time," he said.
There is no timetable for the
return of Giles, a junior center.
Self is no stranger to losing players. Guard Nick Bahe and forwards J.R. Giddens and Alex Galindo left Kansas following the 2004-05 season. Guard Micah Downs left the program halfway through last season. Junior forward Darnell jackson was suspended for the first nine games last season for receiving illegal gifts.
With Kansas being a serious national championship contender this season, the loss of Giles seems detrimental.

Eric Farnsworth's passion for bicycles began when he was eight and his father wouldn't buy him one.
Since that first failure, Farnsworth has succeeded in using scavenged bike parts to build irreplaceable creations that have made him known to friends and neighbors as the "mad scientist." Farnsworth spends hours in his basement welding, sawing and measuring parts. You may have seen his wooden tricycle or lawnmower bike in the city's annual

Art Togeau Parade (pronounced art to-go). Perhaps you've seen his surfboard bike or shopping cart bike during a Red Balloon To Do Art Walk. He's even made a pedal-powered wheat grinder, inspired by his own wheat crop. City commissioner and former mayor Dennis "Boog" Highberger rides one of his three-wheel recumbent bikes, which provides back support with a leaning back seat lower to the ground that
also gives his legs more room to petal. Highberger said it changed his life. He couldn't ride bikes for 20 years because of a physical disability.
You may have even seen Farnsworth pedaling his own front-wheel-drive bike to work, wearing his usual white button down shirt, jeans and pink converse shoes.

Lounge offers smoking inside
The smoking lounge is the brain-child of Joe Scaglia, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, and his father. Scaglia said he and his father hatched the plan to open the Men's Room in Overland Park but they ran into some roadblocks with the indoor smoking laws. They decided to open the business in Lawrence.
Located at 1606 W.23rd St., the former location of the Chartroose Caboose, the Men's Room will be exempt from the city-wide smoking ban because it obtained a tobacco license similar to those of retail tobacco stores. The Men's Room must make at least 51 percent of its revenue from tobacco products, which will be mostly cigars and cigarettes. The lounge will also sell tobacco for use in its rented hookahs.
The Men's Room, a cigar and tobacco lounge that allows its patrons to smoke indoors, will open its doors this afternoon at 4 p.m.
Freda Warfield, a public service administrator for the Kansas Department of Revenue, said the city of Lawrence determined whether customers could smoke indoors.
"As far as the 51 percent rule, that
is a Lawrence ordinance according to the rules they're using for the smoking ban," Warfield said.

CAMPUS Book-collecting contest enters 50th year
The Snyder Book Collecting Contest, held annually since 1957, will celebrate its 50th aniversary in November.
The contest is open to all students who have an interest
in reading and collecting books. Students can submit their collections to the contest along with a personal essay and bibliography until 5 p.m. Friday.
Angie Rathmel, library associate, said between 15 and 40 students usually entered the contest, which is divided into undergraduate student and graduate student divisions. Applicants
usually submit collections of 25 to 50 books.
"They don't need to be large or expensive," Rathmel said.
Rathmel has seen many different types of entries, including a collection of book jackets. It's important for students to communicate why their collections are important to them in the essay component, Rathmel said.
Prizes are $800 for first prize and $500 for second place this year, in honor of the contest's 50th anniversary.
The event is sponsored by the KU Libraries and Oread Books in the Kansas Union.

'W'called into question between school districts
DES MOINES, Iowa — The University of Wisconsin is very protective of its W.
The university has pressured 20 schools to change their logos in the past three years because they looked too much like its red W, which is trademarked, said Cindy Van Mater, the university's director of licensing.
The latest violator: the Waukee school district in suburban Des Moines. The district adopted its purple-and-gold W a decade ago after it was told by state education officials it should not use an image of an American Indian as its school symbol. The district's mascot was the Warriors, but last year students voted to change the mascot to the Spartan Warrior.
Collegiate Licensing Co. which represents the university sent a letter to Waukee Superintendent David Wilkerson on Sept. 20, saying Waukee's W is nearly identical to the university's logo.
Wilkerson said Waukee's W was a combination of logos from Wisconsin and the University of Washington.
"We're not going to intentionally break the law, and if we're in violation, we're going to change it,"Wilkerson said.
Turkey Testicle Festival still able to continue
FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla.
— Organizers of fourth annual Turkey Testicle Festival can keep their name, despite concerns about the propriety of the word and the island's sensibilities.
The Fort Myers Beach Council voted 4-1 Monday to allow the Surf Club bar to use the Turkey Testicle Festival name after a laugh-out-loud discussion, according to the News-Press.
Councilman Charles Meador said the festival has a three-year history. He added that more than 12 other cities host annual events that include the word testicle.
"Who cares what the name is," Mayor Dennis Boback said. "Money is going for a worthy cause."

BY COURTNEY HAGEN
The future number and impact of African-American students at the University of Kansas will be the focus of the 21st annual Black Leadership Symposium today in the Kansas Union.
The event was organized to
The 21st Annual Black Leadership Symposium Schedule Of Events

Source: KU Continuing Education
Pamela Scott, associate director of Multicultural Affairs, helped organize the event. The goal of the symposium is to reach out to these students and encourage them to succeed despite issues of diversity, Scott said.
"At most U.S. universities, the population of students of color is very small." Scott said. "Among that, the graduation rate for black males from high school to college is small. We think that the more we talk to them about college there's more of a chance they will attend college."
The United States Census Bureau found that only 31.8 percent of African Americans enrolled in college in 2004.
Representative Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence), Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, and African-American student leaders from the University will speak about the keys to success in higher education at the symposium.
Bernard Franklin, president of Penn Valley Community College, will be the keynote speaker. Franklin said he aims to spur the high school students into taking action for their futures.
"We are headed into a dramatically changing world and I want to get these students interested in the role they can play in the future." Franklin said.
A panel of African-American student leaders at the University will talk about their experiences in college and answer questions about paying for education and getting involved in campus organizations.

Book catalogs Kansas murals Two artists spent four years finding public art statewide
A
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Two Lawrence artists cataloged hundreds of murals scattered around Lawrence and the rest of the state on baseball dugouts, post office walls, schools, silos, businesses, and parks, among other places, in the book "Kansas Murals."
Vanessa Pearson/KANSAN
The mural located at the University Relations office in Wesley Hall is featured in a book called "Kansas Murals." Two Lawrence artists, Dave Lowenstein and Lora Jost, cataloged hundreds of murals across the state including the five on campus.
The 257-page book includes 99 vibrant color photos of 90 murals with accounts detailing the process of making the murals and the stories behind the murals and their artists. More than 600 murals are listed in the book.
The authors, Dave Loewentsein and Lora Jost, said that they included every mural they knew of but that more were probably out there. The book is designed as a guidebook for readers and includes eight maps.
Fifty Lawrence murals are listed in the book, including seven that are profiled in detail. Five of the listed murals are on campus : the University Relations building; JRP Hall, located west of Memorial Stadium; Lindley Hall, located at Naismith Drive and Crescent Road; Watkins Memorial Health Center, east of Robinson Center; and Twente Hall, south of Watson Library.
On a wall overlooking the playground at Cordley Elementary School, 1837 Vermont St., a mural titled "A Thousand Miles Away" shows an abolitionist in pre-Civil War Kansas helping a runaway slave through the Underground Railroad in 1859. Images of marshals enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act, a plan to hide the girl between a mattress and a featherbed and her escape in a covered wagon are depicted in a clock face frame that symbolizes the pressure of time.
Loewenstein and Jost called chambers of commerce, libraries, art agencies and other community organizations to locate murals for the book and spent four years traveling across the state to document them.
Loewenstein, who makes a living creating three to four large-scale
murals a year, said the authors tried to show the broadest range of different time periods, styles and locations of murals in their book.
Saralyn Reece Hardy, director of the Spencer Museum of Art, captured the importance of murals in the foreword for the book.
"Some are socially compelling or formally beautiful, and others possess quirkly local color, but all are inescapably available and vulnerable to quick public critique and response" she wrote.
Jost and Loewenstein will discuss their book at noon on Nov. 15 at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave.

Higher Education Sloan: The Kansas Supreme Court decision on K-12 preoccupied legislature for the last three years. I hope we can devote more attention and money to undergraduate education in 2007.
Littlejohn: I want to allow parents money to send kids to their
school and institutions of their choice. I believe in vouchers. I grew up in an environment where we grew up with one principal. We had X number of people. It seems like now the number of people doing jobs has increased and a lot of extra people are being placed in school districts unnecessarily.
Deferred Maintenance
Sloan: I am the chairman of the House Higher Education Committee. Mine is the only one
that passed a bill to fund 2006 deferred maintenance. It's a major issue for me.
Littlejohn: I want to restructure tax systems. We may be able to find additional monies to raise teacher salaries and take care of infrastructure problems through other ways of accounting. I'm not against public schools, I'm against the environment that exists now.

Oppression can only survive through silence.
How long will you remain silent?
Littlejohn: One of the problems in the economy is that our government has been signing us on to trade agreements like NAFTA. College graduates are getting an education to get into a high tech field and whether it's computer science or engineering, we keep outsourcing our jobs. We are approaching 300 million people and the jobs are not there to support our graduating students. We have to turn things around and pull jobs back into our country.

Littlejohn: I work for Westar Energy at the bottom of the toten pole. I learned how to operate nuclear power plants in the Navy. I believe that a lot of the alternative energy prices are lower but we need to lower them on a large scale. One of the most cost-effective ways is to use nuclear power. People are generally concerned about nuclear waste. Only 2 percent of what comes out of a reactor is waste. The rest is recyclable. You have no air pollution and no groundwater contamination.
Sloan: I have supported incentives to invest in bioscience technology businesses. Investment comes from education that will help in the long term.

DOW JONES Investors confident about situation of economy
NEW YORK — The Dow Jones industrial average briefly swept past 12,000 for the first time Wednesday, extending its march into record territory as investors grow increasingly optimistic about corporate earnings and the economy. The blue chip average rose to a new closing high, but fell
just short of the 12,000 mark.
The index of 30 big-name stocks surpassed the milestone just after trading began, rising as high as 12,049.51, before pulling back as the market's initial wave of enthusiasm dissipated and investors cashed in some of their gains. The fact that the markets didn't barrel higher shows some healthy caution particularly given that many companies have yet to report third-quarter results.
It took the Dow 7 1/2 years to make the trip from 11,000, having been pummeled during that time by the dot-com bust, recession and the aftermath of the 2001 terror attacks. That slow trek was a striking contrast with the Dow's sprint from 10,000 to 11,000 in just 24 trading days in the spring of 1999, during the heady days of the Internet boom.

ALEXANDER PARKER
Eric Farmsworth of Lawrence has been creating unique bicycles since he was a young child. In recent years, his bicycles have served dozens of purposes beyond exercise from a shopping cart to a lawn mower.
BICYCLES (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The man behind the wheels doesn't consider himself a scientist. He's self-taught, and he'll be the first to tell you his designs aren't that unique. His practical, do-it-yourself mentality and desire to have a minimal impact on the Earth are the driving force behind his bicycles and his lifestyle.
His current project involves an old exercise bike. He described it as a "bucking bronco exercise machine" because the seat moves up and down, a feature he plans to keep. He despises exercise bicycles because they don't move, so he takes his revenge by attaching wheels.
"Exercise bikes need to get a life," he explained.
The first bike frame he ever built was done out of practicality. After riding his mountain bicycle all day in the California Redwoods, he was bothered by soreness in his neck and shoulders.
"I guess I was aware of recumbent bicycles, but I thought I should try one. So I looked around and found I had to spend $2,000 to get one. So I said, well that's really stupid, I can build one for less."
So he did. But not for much less by the time he got done buying welding kits, parts and tubing.
"Once I got a welding kit, I said hey, I can build another one a lot cheaper," he said. "Eventually I just stopped buying new parts. Now I just use recycled stuff. There's just so much bike junk lying around."
Some of his "bike junk" moved with him during his migration east to Kansas in 1996. The open space and slower pace attracted Farnsworth to the Midwest. With the help of an inheritance from his mother, he bought 40 acres near Garnett. He always wanted to grow wheat, so he did.
In the process of learning how to grow, cut and grind wheat, he created a grain mill bicycle. Trying to grind hard grain with baseball bats and hand power just didn't cut it, he said.
A rusted old 10-speed frame, and shiny new flywheels were combined to make the tool.
"I've been doing time studies," he said. "The hopper will hold two pounds so it takes 45 minutes to grind the whole business."
He moved to Lawrence five years ago after he met his wife Jean Burgess at a local barn dance. After getting married, Farnsworth and his bikes moved in with Jean and her daughter Emma in their east Lawrence home. Visitors walking up to their vine-covered front gate can see Farnsworth's shopping-cart bicycle on the green lawn. He uses the cart, which is attached to the bike frame, to transport fruit from friends' trees around town, haul bed frames for another project and to carry groceries. Up the stairs on their front porch are
garden tools in one corner and more bicycles in the other. One is a 1970s blue 10-speed, Eric's favorite, with an Art Togue Parade ribbon hanging from the handlebar. Next to it is his front-wheel drive bicycle. It's silver frame is shorter than the average bicycle so the rider's feet can pedal gears attached to the front tire.
Even more bikes rest against the walls of their cozy living room. Downstairs in his shop, otherwise known as the "Farnsworth Bicycle Laboratory," is his collection of bicycle pieces. Bicycles large and small and frames hang from hooks on the ceiling. Boxes of gearshifts and brake pieces sit on a table, which is covered with more boxes. A large red toolbox with three open drawers holds tools. Leaning against the rock wall are six bed frames, scavenged in August when KU students were moving. Underneath the stairs is his 10-foot-long wooden workbench, covered by a sander, flame torch, tools and the bottom of a shopping cart. About the stairs hang saws, metal rulers and levels. Underneath the workbench is a pile of tires and rims. His prized tool is a drill press he purchased at a garage sale. His pedaled grinder, dusted white with flour, sits in the basement next to two buckets of grain.
On this day, a path is cleared to the washing machine, something his wife Jean appreciates. She supports his artistic endeavors and accepts the bike clutter in the house, but said "sometimes it's annoying when I can't get to the washing machine."
"I think a lot of guys are career driven and it's nice Eric has a shop he can work in here," she said. "It keeps him around and we can spend a lot of time together."
She has gone with him to the Art Togeau parade since they met. It's fun and silly, she said, recalling the time they tried to ride the wooden tricycle made completely from wood scraps. Unfortunately it couldn't stop.
Her daughter Emma, a KU freshman, was 12 when Eric made her a "plain simple bike," she said. She picked an Italian girls frame she liked from his stash of bike parts. She said it was slim and cute after he painted it and added handlebars.
Jean said Farnsworth was not afraid to look silly and he's not afraid to fail.
He gave two "cool" bikes to his neighbor Doug Bergstrom. Farnsworth offered the five-foot "tall bike" when the three-wheel bike he originally gave him was stolen a few years ago.
"I'm too scared to ride his other blikes, but they are cool." she said.
Bergstrom said he didn't like to lock up his "Eric bikes," because he wants people to try riding them and to be inspired. He figured if someone stole one it would be easy to spot around town. But the three-wheel
bike was never found.
"Everyone loved it," he said. "Kids clamored over the bike. At a certain point I realized three-wheel bikes were practical."
Moving his muscles and being outdoors is what Farnsworth loves most about riding a bike. He recalls biking to and from work on a valley road in northern California, breathing in the balsam aroma from the Douglas Firs until a car zoomed by leaving behind an unpleasant odor of fumes.
He told Farnsworth they were marketable and could be sold for young children to ride, but he said Farnsworth wasn't in it for the money. He would rather pedal than peddle his bikes.
He still bikes to and from his job at Horizon Systems, Inc., about a four and a half mile ride, and said it improved his mood after a bad day at work. After twenty minutes
of riding home, he forgets what was bothering him.
"Riding my bike to work every day is not going to save the planet," he said. "Even if everyone in this country rode their bicycles instead of driving cars it wouldn't save the planet."
"I make them because I like to," he said. "And once you get in the habit of something you can't stop."
But it's an improvement in his eyes and if there's something he can do. he'll do it.
Apparently he can't stop thinking about them either. When Jean asks him what's on his mind he'll tell her: Bike parts.

Kline's practices questioned by former Kansas Attorney General
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Having already broken with Attorney General Phill Kline over another issue, former Attorney General Bob Stephan is questioning practices related to his fellow Republican's raising money from conservative churches.
Stephan said Wednesday he is particularly upset that a church passed around its collection plate after Kline spoke there this summer so that it could donate money to a for-profit company led by Kline's wife and paid by Kline's campaign for services. He called the incident "s o m e w h a t reprehensible," though he
doesn't doubt its legality.
State law prohibits a state officer or employee from accepting speaking fees, and the ban applies even if the money ultimately goes to a third party on the officer's behalf. But the state ethics commission has said the ban doesn't apply when someone isn't acting in an official capacity.
Kline told reporters that he discussed issues involving his campaign, the company operated by his wife and his appearances at churches with the state Governmental Ethics Commission's executive director so that he wouldn't run afoul of state law. Executive Director Carol Williams said conversations with Kline's campaign were after the fact.
"Everything we've done has been run through the Governmental Ethics. It's fine."
I tried to call him and he didn't return my calls and that's been pretty much it," Kline said.
Kline said the Carr case was an issue between the two men but wouldn't say why Stephan ended his association with Kline last month.
The attorney general also said he and Stephan, who held the office from 1979 to 1995, disagreed over whether Kline should make convicted multiple murderer Reginald Carr an issue in his re-election campaign. Stephan said Kline had promised not to but later did so.
Stephan said he learned about the church's donation later, was troubled, and couldn't get detailed answers from Kline or his staff. He said he asked for those answers in writing.
"Frankly, I found it somewhat reprehensible. It's weighed on me, and I haven't known just how to handle it," Stephan said.

Kline, a conservative, formulated a "church effort" to take full advantage of his support among

conservative Christians.
He put it in writing in an internal memo to his staff on Aug. 8, and someone leaked it anonymously to reporters.
In the memo, Kline discussed political receptions held after services, directing his staff to get friendly pastors to invite "money people."
On Wednesday, a nonprofit watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate.
Kline has repeatedly said his activities aren't putting churches' tax-exempt status in jeopardy.
"That's false," he said when reporters asked the question Wednesday.
For years, Kline has spoken during services and before church groups about how he and his estranged father reconciled and about the importance of people having God in their lives.
After speaking at the Light of the World Christian Center in Topeka this summer, the congregation collected a $1,339 offering for SWT Communications.
Among other things, the company, owned by Kline's wife, produces radio spots about historical events that are broadcast across the state. Kline said Wednesday it also operates a dog kennel.
The company donated $1,181 to Kline's campaign in June, and Kline's campaign paid $3,600 to SWT this year for storing documents and furniture.
Williams said neither the donations from SWT nor the payments to it appear to violate Kansas law. She said the church's donation to SWT came after SWT made its contribution, so there appears to be no questionable funneling of dollars there.

HOOKAH (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
University of Beirut, there may be as much tar in one hookah session as in 20 low-tar cigarettes. The level of nicotine consumed in a session is equal to about one cigarette.
Shihadeh's study noted that hookah smoking releases lower amounts of second-hand release because of the closed nature of the hookah system.
Bridget Monahan, director of the Wellness Resource Center in Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the belief that water filters out harmful chemicals in hookah was an urban myth.
"What concerns me is it's not seen as smoking, it's seen as being social," Monahan said. "Glamorous or exotic as some may find it to be, it's still using tobacco."
Bassem Chahine, co-owner of the Lebanese Hookah House, 730 Massachusetts St., said his customers were mostly Middle Eastern and American college students. He said hookah smoking was a social event.
"The hookah isn't good for you, but you just don't do it as often as cigarettes," Chahine said. "You don't hold the hookah while you're walking or driving."
Chahine said a typical smoking session lasted between one and two hours.
Mohammed Alshahab, freshman from Saudi Arabia, said he smoked hookah everyday. He and his roommates own several hookahs.
"You feel kind of dizzy if you smoke too much hookah at one time," said Mesahaal Alassaf, Saudi Arabia freshman and Alshahab's roommate. He associated short-term problems, like headaches, with hookah and long-term problems, like cancer, with cigarettes.
Topeka senior Woods Denny's hookah habit turned into a business. He sells hookah and hookah paraphernalia and has gotten several of his friends into smoking it.
"People come over and smoke and then they want one so I hook them up," Denny said.
He said he thinks smoking hookah is less damaging than smoking cigarettes because the tobacco is filtered through water. But he acknowledges that it might not be the best thing for his health.
"It's kind of like eating a Big Mac," Denny said. "It's not really good for people but they do it anyway."

"If something happens, it's my ass?" Scaglia said.
SMOKING (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
He enlisted the help of two of his friends: his roommate at Naismith Hall, Mike Stingo, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, will deal with sales and marketing and Pat Stacy, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, will handle the business operations for the lounge.
The tobacco license also allows the Men's Room to stay open later than the bars. Scaglia said the idea was to attract the post-bar crowd.
"I'd be happy if five percent of the people from the bars came here," he said.
"It's really B.Y.O. everything." Stinzo said.
The city-wide smoking ban doesn't allow bar or restaurant patrons the privilege of smoking, so the Men's Room can't obtain a liquor or food license. But customers can bring their own beer or booze and buy mixers at the lounge. They can also bring food from outside establishments.
The Men's Room will have a pool table, a poker table upstairs and a DJ downstairs who will play "loud music" similar to the Boom Boom Room at the Hawk, Stingo said. It
will be open until 4 a.m. Mondays and Thursday through Saturday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the lounge will be open until 2 a.m. and on Sunday from noon until 6 p.m.
The Men's Room plans on holding a weekly $10 buy-in poker tournament each week where the winner would get to pick a prize from the humidor. Scaglia also said they were contemplating a "longest ash" contest in which the participant with the largest cigar ash would win.
Scaglia and Stingo aren't concerned about their grades slipping. In fact, they both said the job of running a full-time business would help their grades improve because they would have to find the time to do their homework. Stingo said he has received his best grades lately because he has to do his homework right after class. But he did envision a scenario where he could get himself into trouble.
"If my grades slip," he said with a smile, not wanting to finish the sentence, "I'd be done."

event originally conceived at the University of Tennessee in 2001. The Islamic communities that participate at 250 college campuses across the country do so as a way to demonstrate the values of compassion and charity by making an effort to reduce hunger and homelessness in their various communities.

Chris Steele, Lawrence senior, sat quietly listening with others seated at his table in Building 21 of the Douglas County Fairgrounds at 6 p.m. Wednesday to break their fasts
Steele has been a participant in the Fast-a-thon for the three years it has been in practice at Kansas University.
"It is a good thing to do for charity," Steele said. "It's also interesting and fun."
Dr. Moussa Elbayoumy, director of the Islamic Society of Lawrence, gave a small introduction to the group explaining the importance of Ramadan and its emphasis on the third and fourth pillars of Islam, which are fasting and charity, respectfully.
The event included several presentations and explanations of certain Islamic religious practices and sayings. For instance, the meaning of the Muslim greeting "As-Salamu Alaykum", was explained. It means "may peace and blessings be upon you," and the traditional reply is "Lakum Salam."
Saad Aldwayan, Saudi Arabia graduate student, is not an official member of the MSA but he said he thought that the Fast-a-thon was a good idea.
"It lets a lot of people from other cultures experience for one day what the month-long practice of Ramadan is like," Aldwayan said.
Mark Crist, McPherson senior participated in the Fast-a-thon last year. This year his sister Rachel,
McPherson junior, joined him.
"I was an RA last year when they passed out fliers for it," Mark said. "I thought it was for a good cause and would be fun. And the food at the breakfast is amazing."
Rachel agreed that the experience was a good one.
"The hardest part was not drinking" she said.
Mark chuckled.
"Yeah," he said. "My throat is definitely dry."

GILES (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
forward Darnell Jackson is the most experienced big man behind Giles and Kaun, but at 6-foot-9 Jackson lacks the ideal height needed to play center. In 23 appearances last season, Jackson averaged 6.3 point; and 4.9 rebounds per game. Kaun did have 36 blocks last season, but Jackson had just three.
"It's a blow because we went from being the deepest team around to all of a sudden we're not near as deep in practice." Self told reporters on Tuesday. "It would be just like getting somebody nicked up in practice, although this situation is much more serious than that."
Freshman forward Darrell Arthur is also 6-foot-9 and should see more minutes while Giles is out. With a shorter rotation in the frontcourt, Kaun, Jackson and Arthur might struggle with fatigue toward the end of games, but they will be better for it in the long run. By the end of the season they will be in better shape and Self will know what they're capable of. If Giles returns to the rotation, it should keep them from getting exhausted come tournament time.
Giles wasn't an integral part of last season's team. Although he appeared in all 33 of Kansas' games last season, Giles only started 13 and he played 20 or fewer minutes in 24 games. His statistics were modest at 6.2 points per game and 4.8 rebounds per game. But he will be missed on defense, where he blocked 48 shots. His aggressiveness got him in trouble at times, though, as he committed at least four personal fouls in nine games and averaged about one foul every 6 minutes.
In Giles' place, junior center Sasha Kaun should see even more minutes. Kaun started 29 games last season and averaged 8.2 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. Junior

Love him or hate him, Perkins a success
The dust has settled and the men's basketball and football teams are now handcuffed with sanctions imposed by the NCAA Committee on Infractions following its investigation.
Little good was discovered from the investigation, but one thing can be said: The Athletics Department and director Lew Perkins took progressive measures in cleaning up what could have been a disastrous mess.
Perkins took the initiative when he arrived at the University in June 2003 to clean up the mess left by Al Bohl, the previous athletics director. Self-reporting violations and conducting a two-year internal investigation into violations by teams in the department prevented damage to the University's image as a topnotch program that doesn't have to circumvent the rules to win.
The department is now under the watchful eye of the NCAA, and the possibility of even stiffer penalties, such as the exclusion of our beloved Jayhawks from the NCAA tournament, is possible with further rules violations. A March without the Jayhawks would be like a duck without water. Perkins up-front approach with the NCAA may just have prevented such a punishment.
Like him or not, Perkins and his actions saved the integrity of the athletics program.
Louis Mora for the editorial board.
好吗
Perkins, previously at the University of Connecticut, has stepped on some toes during his three-year tenure. He upset some of the University's long-time basketball season-ticket holders when he implemented the new points structure for coveted tickets. Trying to dig more money from wealthy donors, Perkins upset some of the most loyal Jayhawk fans, who could no longer afford the astronomical cost to retain their tickets. He has ruffled a few feathers with new methods to extract money from loyal alumni, but he has brought integrity back to a department that was obviously lacking under the Bohl regime.
The internal investigation, which ended in July 2005, resulted in the loss of scholarships for both the football and women's basketball programs, and shed light on the gifts violations of the men's basketball team. The self-imposed measures taken by Perkins and Chancellor Robert Hemenway probably lightened the blow delivered by the NCAA last weekend.

COMMENTARY
At KU, you get what you pay for
In the midst of the constant furore over the rising costs of health care in the United States, New York Times economics columnist David Leonhardt recently pointed out that we pay more because we receive more. Families in the 1950s paid less money for health care because they received much less. Today, we understand more about the causes and treatments of heart disease, cancer, and various other ailments. The increased quality of health care has led to an increase in life expectancy of 10 years. In health care, you get what you pay for.
That seems like a basic concept. As the quality of a good increases, its costs increase, the demand increases, and the price increases. So price is related to quality.
I point these things out because we're in the middle of a similar uproar over the rising costs of university tuition. The Kansan reported in September that tuition at the University has increased between 10 and 17 percent each year since 2002. Across the nation, the median increase in tuition at public universities between 2005 and 2006 was 6.4 percent.
In analyzing these statistics, too many have come to the conclusion that these price increases are predatory in nature. An editorial in the Kansan reported that "universities are simply taking advantage of a favorable situation ... The University must ensure that it stops getting caught up in the culture of yearly increases currently afflicting universities nationwide."
Are universities really taking

advantage of students? For what purpose? There is no university CEO benefiting from higher profits as we might see in the business world. The chancellor's contract is set by the Board of Regents; he isn't skimming off the top of our tuition dollars. The revenue from our tuition — $160 million — isn't even the main source of income for the University; that would be money granted by the Kansas government, totaling $240 million. So it's difficult to make the case that we're being taken advantage of by the University.
The reason, of course, is that we're getting what we pay for. The value of a university degree is more important today than it has been in the past. In 2003, the College Board reported that the lifetime earnings gap between someone with a high school diploma and someone with a bachelor's degree was over $1 million.
So, is the increase just a result of being caught up in a "culture of yearly increases?" I doubt that partaking in a higher-education fad is the true motivation for increasing tuition. Certainly there must be a substantive reason for the University to raise tuition.
the University has made improvements to the quality and atmosphere around campus. It has renovated four of our dorms over the past decade, and technology has been improved in classrooms, laboratories and libraries. More funds have been allocated to compensate graduate teaching and research assistants. And, even though many say that increased tuition is pricing poorer Kansans out of college, much of the increased tuition has gone to need-based financial aid. In addition, the University has to continue to be able to compete with other universities for distinguished professors to continue to improve the reputation of the University. Without tuition increases, the quality of our education would fall.

Of course, none of this is to say that we shouldn't watch what the University does with our money. Let's not forget how it spent $90,000 to add a tail to the letter "K." Still, the University is, by and large, using our money to better our education, which is what we should expect.
The reason most of the University's students are here, rather than somewhere like Fort Hays State (no offense to the Tigers), is that it is a more highly-regarded university. The University maintains that reputation by constantly making improvements, and it can afford to make improvements by increasing tuition. It's not ideal, but it's better than the alternative.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Media wrong to focus on war issues at home more important
I have often criticized the news media over the last few years for a number of transgressions, from the war reporting from the Middle East to coverage of domestic social issues right here at home. To my mind, the perspectives, intelligence and motives of national news reporters and editors are at best skewed, and at worst, just plain crazy.
Lately, I've begun to wonder if maybe I've been too harsh, that maybe it's my perspective that has been a bit off. Maybe it is just me. After all, maybe we should see screaming headlines and tens of thousands of column inches written every day in our newspapers about the deprivation and hopelessness of the Iraq War, which kills about 750 Americans a year, while news of the latest fatalities from drunken driving, which kills 20,000 Americans a year, are relegated to page twenty-six, if they're even reported at ten. Is there some strange logic at work here that I don't understand?
Yes, you read that right. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Mothers Against Drunk Driving, about 20,000 Americans die annually at the hands of drunk drivers. That's over 25 dead bodies, right here at home, for every soldier killed in the Middle East.
Can't be right, you say. It is, and it doesn't stop there. Take heart disease, the number-one killer in America. Heart attacks and strokes kill some 600,000 Americans every year. Now we're up to 800 times the number of people killed in the War on Terror. What about cancer? It only kills tens of thousands. Do you know how far down the health and accident statistics you
Don't try to tell me that war is more senseless than drunk driving, or for that matter, more preventable. It's not. If anything, it's more preventable. So, the question is, why do our newspaper editors keep crowding out other stories, and more important issues — issues that we could do a lot about — to focus on the war?
In the meantime, I think I'll just hold on to my view about newspaper editors. When you take time to look at facts, my perspective seems just fine.

Presumably, war is so terrible because of the death and destruction it causes American families. If our hang-up is dead bodies, why aren't we 25 times more hung up about drunken driving? Or cancer?

Windows virus affects Apple Computer Inc.'s video iPods
Problem should not continue, removal is possible
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Calif. — In another example of how mobile gadgets can carry malicious programs, Apple Computer Inc. said a fraction of its iPod players sold in the past month contained a virus that affects rival Windows systems.
The problem affected less than 1 percent of the video iPods that were available for purchase after Sept. 12, according to a posting on Apple's technical support Web site. The company has received less than 25 reports concerning the problem, Apple said.
The iPods got the virus from a Windows computer at one of its manufacturing plants. Apple said. The virus, RavMonE.exe, is known
to spread through external data storage devices when they are connected to computers and affects only machines running Microsoft Corp's Windows operating system. Security experts say the virus opens up further security holes for hackers.

Up-to-date anti-virus software included with most Windows computers should detect and remove it, Apple said.
Though the iPods themselves are not affected, nor are Apple's Mac OS computers, Apple recommended that iPod owners use its latest iTunes program to remove the virus from their new devices.
Apple iPod Nanos are shown on display at an Apple Store in Palo Alto, Calif. A virus was discovered that affects some video iPods sold after Sept. 12 when they are connected to Windows computers.
Other iPod models were not affected and all video iPods now shipping are virus-free, the company said.

New policy gives protection for space
Revisions secure problems when hostile situations arise
BY TERENCE HUNT ASSOCIATED B
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush has signed an order asserting the United States' right to deny adversaries access to space for hostile purposes.
Bush also said the United States would oppose the development of treaties or other restrictions that seek to prohibit or limit U.S. access to or use of space.
The provisions were contained in the first revision of U.S. space policy in nearly 10 years.Bush's order, signed more than a month ago, was not publicly announced although unclassified details of his decision were posted on the Web site of the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
"Freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power," the policy says. "In order to increase knowledge, discovery, economic prosperity, and to enhance the national security, the United States must have robust, effective, and efficient space capabilities."
The policy says that space systems should have rights of passage without interference, and that the United States would view any deliberate interference with its space systems as an infringement on its rights.
"The United States considers space capabilities — including the ground and space segments and supporting links — vital to its national interests," the policy said.
"Consistent with this policy, the United States will: preserve its rights.
Jones said the challenges and threats facing the United States have changed in the decade since the space policy was last updated.
capabilities, and freedom of action in space; dissuade or deter others from either impeding those rights or developing capabilities intended to do so; take those actions necessary to protect its space capabilities; respond to interference; and deny, if necessary, adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile to U.S. national interests."
The White House said the policy does not call for the development or deployment of weapons in space.
"The new policy is consistent with previous national space policies in this regard," he said.
"Protection of space assets does not imply some sort of forceful action," he said. "There is a broad range of ways to protect our space capabilities" such as system hardening, encryption, maneuvering and other methods.
"This policy emphasizes that the United States is committed to peaceful uses of space by all nations and that space systems enjoy the right of free passage," National Security Council spokesman Frederick Jones said.
He said the United States maintains the right of self-defense and the protection of its interests and assets in space.
"Technology advances have increased the importance of and use of space," he said. "Now, we depend on space capabilities for things like: ATMs, personal navigation, package tracking, radio services, and cell phone use."

Brad Witherspoon, Homboldt junior, was chosen to walk-on the men's basketball team. Witherspoon attended open tryouts on Sunday and was notified Monday morning that he had made the team.
Kansas walk-on wanted to join team when he was 'itty-bitty'
BY DREW DAVISON
Ever since he was two years old, Brad Witherspoon dreamed of playing basketball for the University of Kansas. The junior from Humboldt doesn't have to dream anymore; he was picked to join the team after Sunday's open trouts.
Monday morning, Kansas assistant coach Tim Jankovich made the call to inform Witherspoon of Kansas' decision to give him a spot on the team.
"I was leaving my first class Monday and coach Jankovich called me and was like, 'Why are you out of class,' Witherspoon said. "I said 'We got out early, cut me some slack.' Then Jankovich said, 'Well, we think you can be that guy to come in and bring the intensity we need in practice'"
Witherspoon did not know what to save after he found out.
"It felt like I was floating," Witherspoon said. "I was walking up the hill, but it felt like I was floating up the hill."
Jackie Witherspoon, Brad's mom, was the first person Brad called when he found out he made the Jayhawk basketball team.
"Brad has wanted this for a long time," she said. "Ever since he was itty-bitty he pretended he was playing for the 'Hawks."
Interestingly, neither of his parents went to the University of Kansas for their undergraduate degrees, and his mom has no idea where his passion for Kansas basketball came from.
"I'm a K-State grad, and his dad went to college in Missouri at Drury," Jackie said. Jackie did, however, earn her master's degree
from Kansas.
Brad said his passion for KU basketball really began once his brother was at KU.
Witherspoon remembers attending his first KU basketball game, back when Greg Ostertag was on the team.
"i ended up falling asleep on the bench," he said with a smirk. "But I

His high school coach, Craig Smith, encouraged Brad to look at
Division II schools.
"He had offers from every IUCO around and a couple of D-2 schools," Smith, now the Athletics Director at Humboldt High School. "I almost encouraged him to go to a D-2 school, but from day one, he was always set on KU."

Punter breaks stereotypes
Baylor's Sepulveda heads toward record for honors
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Punters aren't supposed to be the face of football programs, but Baylor punter Daniel Sepulveda has been breaking down such stereotypes since he arrived on Baylor's campus as a walk-on in 2002.
With the build of a linebacker and All-American honors to match his All-American smile, Sepulveda is one of the most well-known punters in the nation. Solidifying himself as the face of the program, he has
graced the cover of Baylor's football media guide the past three seasons.
Punting though, wasn't how Sepulveda expected to make an impact as a college football player.
YOU'RE MY MONEY.
"Certainly not, which is a testament to the fact that God has had his hand on me and has a plan for me," Sepulveda said. "This wasn't my plan, it just kind of happened."
Sepulveda
The detour has worked out well for him so far. Although he was a walk on linebacker his freshman year, Sepulveda is cementing his future in the NFL as a punter. As a senior, he is also in position to break several NCAA records and join the elite company of football legend Mike Singletary. But time and time again, none of this seemed possible to Sepulveda.
When Sepulveda walked on at Baylor, he did so with aspirations of following in the footsteps of his brother Stephen, who played linebacker at Baylor. However, when coach Guy Morriss was hired in December 2002, he met with the team in search of a better punter. Not knowing he would no longer be able to play linebacker, Sepulveda raised his hand and volunteered to give punting a try.
When he discovered he would have to be a full-time punter, it took him some time to let go of his dream
of playing linebacker.
"I came from a background where I played a more substantial position, one that sees the field a little bit more often, so it was hard for me to accept the fact that a lot of times I'd play four-to-eight plays a game," Sepulveda said.
As a redshirt freshman in 2003, Sepulveda earned first-team All-Big 12 honors from College Football News. The next year, he won the Ray Guy Award, which is given to the nation's top punter. His junior season, he became only the sixth two-time All-American in school history, earning second-team All-American honors from several sources.
Despite an impressive junior season, Sepulveda decided to return for his senior season before testing the professional waters. But last April — the month when college football players are drafted, putting an end to their amateur careers — Sepulveda's future at Baylor was put in jeopardy for another reason.
During the Easter holiday weekend Sepulveda was playing a pick-up game of basketball when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which is his non-kicking leg.
After surgery, he sat down with Morriss and told him that he expected to play in Baylor's season opener on Sept. 3. He said doctors told him he couldn't do any structural damage to the knee during rehabilitation, but the knee would experience some soreness. So, it all came down to how rigorously Sepulveda could rehab the knee and how much pain he could handle.
"I didn't even know I could do it," Sepulveda said. "I just told him that I had every intention of doing everything I could to make it happen."
When Baylor's 2006 season opener arrived, Sepulveda was in the lineup. He said the key to his rehabilitation was God instilling in him the perseverance to work out on a daily

Libero described as fireball
Various nicknames applied to senior player after consistent serving successes
BY JEFF DETERS
Her name is Danielle Wittman. But at volleyball practice, you might hear players and coaches call her "D-Witt," "Dan Dog" and "Danni-Wanni."
Nicknames are often given to players for various reasons, including accomplishments on the playing field. But finding out where and who started the nickname can sometimes be a mystery.
To find the answer, she wouldn't have to go very far. Following the Kansas victory against K-State last Wednesday, junior right side hitter/setter Emily Brown was given credit for "Dan Dog," and another player later came clean on the other.
"I don't know where any of these names come from," Wittman, a senior defensive specialist/libero said.
"I was the one who invented Danni-Wanni," senior outside hitter Iana Correa said.
Correa thought about calling her "Danil-Witt," but ultimately decided that was too boring. Wittman and Correa have spent hours together both on and off the court, and the
two have become close friends.
"Dani Wittman is a fun girl." Correa said. "She's such a nice girl. She's like a sister."

Wittman, a native of Salina, had many positives to talk about with her friends following the Kansas State victory, including shots on the
K-State volleyball team.
"I love the rivalry between KU and K-State, just because I have so many friends on the other side of the net," Wittman said. "During the game you want to beat them, but after the game you're great friends again. So it's a healthy competition."

After winning their previous two matches the Jayhawks have momentum going into their next game Oct. 28 at Texas A&M. The Jayhawks have only a month remaining in the regular season. And as time on her Jayhawk career draws to a close, Wittman couldn't help but reflect on her playing career.
"That was very important to these seniors and this group to make that happen," Bechard said. "And it couldn't have come at a better time."
"I think you look back and you're like, 'Have I done it long enough? Did I do it every single game?'" Wittman said. "That's how I hope my team-mates remember me; as a good teammate, one that brought them energy and made them feel comfortable."

If Kansas can defeat Baylor on Saturday, bowl hopes won't be shattered
The football team is at a crossroads right now. Lose on Saturday and the season is likely over. Win and the season may still be salvaged, at least for another week.
Making that bowl game and resrecturing the season begins on Saturday. The problem is, there is no reason to think that Kansas will win this Saturday against Baylor. I am not trying to be negative; I just think fans should look at the facts before jumping to conclusions on Saturday's outcome.
Baylor beat Kansas State 17-3 three weeks ago. How is that relevant? The following week after the Wildcats loss, Kansas State came from behind to beat Oklahoma State, a team that destroyed Kansas in the second half last week, winning 42-32.
I understand that making generalizations like that do not always prove anything, but Baylor is not the Baylor team of old. Kansas comes into Saturday's game as the 117th-ranked passing defense in the country. Kansas will continue to fail against the passing attack this weekend when facing the 10th-ranked passing offense in division I-A.

Aqib Talib is a good cornerback, and probably deserves his pre-season all-Big 12 selection. F'owever, an entire side of the field is not covered by Talib and Anthony Webb paid the price last weekend, allowing Adarius Bowman to have a career day.
While Oklahoma State coaches and players were making adjustments at halftime last week, down 14-0, Kansas coaches and players did little to correct the glaring problems on defense. Mike Gundy and the rest of his coaching staff exploited those problems en route to an embarrassing second half for Kansas. For the first time since Kansas coach Mark Mangino has been at Kansas it looked like his players gave up on him late in the game.
The disappointments this season have been magnified, with three of the four heartbreak losses coming on television, for fans to replay and critique. Unlike the 2004 season, when Kansas lost close games to Texas and Texas Tech, Kansas was not expected to go to a bowl game that season. That year's 4-7 record had fans saying the team was better than the record indicated. This season anything but a bowl game was going to be considered a disappointment. Now, it looks like the season is headed in that disappointing direction.
The problem with all these close losses for Kansas this year is that it is a direct reflection of the coaching staff. The staff is not making the changes, is not making the right play calls and is not putting the right defenses out on the field to preserve a lead. Adjustments have to be made, and late in game it looks like they are not being done.
After the overtime loss to Nebraska, I thought that Kansas had a legitimate chance to win the North, and I thought it should win its next four games. But after a below-average performance against
an average Oklahoma State team last week, this season likely will end in disaster. No back-to-back bowl games for the first time in school history, and Kansas fans wondering if the program is headed in the right direction.
There might be calls to fire Mangino if Kansas finishes with four or fewer wins this season, but even if that is the consensus, it is not going to happen. Mangino just signed a five year extension, and Athletics Director Lew Perkins is not going to fire him while having to continue to pay his contract. Last week's announcement by the NCAA to extend the cut of Kansas' football scholarships by three will not get Perkins out of the contract because Mangino was not found guilty of any wrongdoing.
Kansas needs to get it done this weekend. If not, it could be a long couple of years for the Jayhawk football team.

Witherspoon said back in high school, everyone would ask him about his future.
"I told them, I'm going to KU," and everyone thought I was an idiot," he said. "Like, what the hell are you doing?"
Witherspoon was an all-state selection his senior year in 2004 at Humboldt High. He finished his high school career as the fourth leading scorer in the school's history.

WOMEN'S GOLF Team takes 14th place in New Mexico tournament
The University of Kansas women's golf team finished in 14th place Wednesday at the "Give 'Em Five Fund"/New Mexico State Invitational.
The Jayhawks concluded the three-day tournament with their best round shooting: a 307 giving them a total score of 933. The final round score was six strokes under from their previous two rounds, 313 in both.
Tournament host New Mexico State took top honors, while Baylor moved past Missouri from fifth to finish second.
Amanda Costner, Claremore, Okla., senior, shot a 73, her best score of the tournament, which placed her in a tie for 13th place. Emily Powers, Quincy, Ill., senior, shot a 77 which placed her in a tie for 31st.
The Jayhawks will conclude their fall season at the Derby Invitational, Oct. 27 to 29, in Auburn, Ala.
basis and strengthen his knee.

SHROYER (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Entering this week's game against Kansas, he has 251 career punts with an average of 44.9 yards per punt. If his average holds, he will break the NCAA Division IA record of 44.69 yards per punt.
This season, Sepulveda is also in position to be the first two-time Ray Gauy Award recipient and join College and Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary as Baylor's only three-time All-Americans.
"That's quite a name to be associated with in any way," Sepulveda said. "It's just another tremendous blessing that I would not have expected."
Sepulveda may play the part of a full-fledged punter, but he hasn't conceded to looking the part. Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing a sculpted 230 pounds, Sepulveda looks more capable of tearing a wide receiver's head off than booting a football halfway down the field.
Senior cornerback C.J. Wilson has been a teammate of Sepulveda's since 2002 and he is still impressed with the punter's size.
"He thinks I'm crazy because I always laugh at him, but how often do you see a six-foot-three, 230-pound punter just walking around like this," Wilson said, puffing out his chest like a body builder. "His muscles are bigger than yours."
Wilson said Sepulveda could also run the 40-yard dash in the 4.40-4.49 seconds range. Between Sepulveda's size and athleticism, he has earned the respect of his teammates.
In addition, Sepulveda has caught the eye of ESPN's NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. Of all punters expected to be in the 2007 NFL draft, Kiper has Sepulveda ranked No. 2.
However, Sepulveda takes more pride in having disproved the stigmas that come with being a punter.
"I think it's pretty safe to say that my teammates don't see me as a punter," he said.

FANTASY FOOTBALL THURSDAY
Steve McNair was once a reliable quarterback, now is the time to drop him
52
Gail Burton/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Steve McNair, center, is sacked by Carolina Panthers Chris Draft, left, and Michael Rucker, obscured, as Kris Jenkins moves in at right, in the first half of their football game in Baltimore, Sunday, Oct. 15, 2006. McNair was knocked out of the game with a concussion on the play.
BY EVAN HENGEL
Steve McNair was a great man. Those who were lucky enough to have him on their team during his 2003 MVP season know that Steve McNair is a truly selfless man. Steve battled through separated shoulders, dislocated fingers, back spasms, bruised ribs, sprained knees and bone spurs all so fantasy owners wouldn't have to start Joey Harrington. He did this, without thanks, for our sake. Steve McNair would play a game with two broken legs, a missing arm, and a case of typhoid if his coaches would let him.
Steve McNair left the game in week six due to a concussion that he will recover from shortly. He probably won't miss a start. However, based on his recent horrid play on the field, it is now time to deliver the eulogy for his fantasy football career:
As he moved on from Tennessee to Baltimore, fantasy football owners looked forward to the resurrection of his career. And while it never quite occurred, Steve knew that he had all of us in his corner when he sailed errant passes into the stands like a drunken paperboy on his Saturday delivery route. When he threw three picks against Denver in week five, we all knew that his time had probably come.
And yet, with every ending comes a new beginning. With the demise of Steve McNair comes the emergence of Matt Leinart, Philip Rivers and Alex Smith. And Steve, know that when we drop you on to the waiver wire in our leagues, we do so with heavy hearts. You will be missed.
Who to Add:
1) Travis Henry, running back,
Tennessee Titans. I recommended
the addition of Henry before the
start of the season and if you listened
to me you have to be giddier than a
12-year-old girl at a Kelly Clarkson concert. With two straight games of more than 120 yards, all I have to say is, "you're welcome."
2) Philip Rivers, quarterback. San Diego Chargers. Despite having a sissy name (has there been a single tough football player in the history of the NFL named Philip?), this guy can flat out play. His 100.6 quarterback rating is tops in the AFC and he has a 3.5 touchdowns for every interception, and if he were to ever start going by "Phil," I'd consider him a top five fantasy quarterback. An underrated story in the NFL this year is how the Chargers haven't missed a beat since losing Drew Brees. Rivers has been fantastic. It would be like if Jeremy Piven left Entourage and was immediately replaced by a better actor.
Who NOT to Add:
1) Mark Clayton, wide receiver, Baltimore Ravens. Looking at Clayton's week six stats — five receptions for 101 yards and two touchdowns — he would seem like a safe pick-up. But look closer and you realize that both of the touchdowns he caught were tipped and weren't even intended for him. If you eliminate the accidents, the former Oklahoma Sooner is without a touchdown on the season. Plus, he's involved in the offensive black hole that is the Baltimore Ravens.
2) Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback, Pittsburgh Steelers. Yes, he torched Kansas City's secondary on Sunday like Oklahoma State's Bobby Reid did to Kansas in the second half, but make him put up good numbers against Atlanta in week seven before valuing him any higher than quarterbacks like Jake Delhomme and Drew Bledsoe. You might also want to make sure Big Ben doesn't have any Motocross races scheduled in the near future.
Who to Drop:
1) Steve McNair, quarterback,
Baltimore Ravens. You've had a good
career Steve, hang it up.
2) Mark Brunell, quarterback, Washington Redskins. There is no point in hanging on to the mediocre quarterbacks. With so many readily available, you can always find a QB with a good match-up for a particular week. Brunell's play has been about as consistent as Oprah's dietary habits. He has had two great weeks and four Aaron Brooks-like
weeks. What makes no sense is that he has weapons like Santana Moss, Brandon Lloyd, Antwan Randle El, Chris Cooley and Clinton Portis at his disposal. All he needs to be find a way to put it in their hands. Brunell's failures in the midst of the talent around him is like hunting squirrels on campus with a rocket launcher and somehow coming up empty.

Baseball to play Midwest's best
'Jayhawk Classic'to prepare team for spring
BY KAYVON SARRAF
After finishing last spring tied for the conference championship but missing the playoffs on a tiebreaker, the University of Kansas club baseball team decided that it needed more pitching to compete with the top teams.
Kansas added freshman righthanders Zach Gaarder and Jeff Moyer, as well as junior lefthander Drew Fennelly, to bolster the pitching staff. This weekend will
be a good test to see whether the team accomplished it's goal.
K ans s will host the first annual ' J a y h aw k Classic' at Ice Field, 2700 W. 27th St. The tournament
"We figured that if we want to get better and get ready for the spring,we need to play top competition."
A home run derby is at 8 p.m. featuring the top two home run hitters from each team. On Sunday, Colorado will play St. Louis at 10 a.m. and Kansas will play Wisconsin-Whitewater at 1 p.m. The team with the best overall record will be crowned tournament champion. Head-to-head scores will break a tie.

"We have our work cut out for us," pitcher Jonathan Anderson
features club baseball teams from Colorado University, Wisconsin- Whitewater, and St. Louis University.
"We have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time," club president B.J. Rains, a Kansan sports columnist, said. "We have some great teams coming in and it should be a great time for all of the students to come out and watch us play. I think we are going to have a good squad this year."
The tournament begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday when Colorado plays Wisconsin-Whitewater. Then Kansas plays Colorado at 11:45 a.m., St. Louis plays Wisconsin-Whitewater at 2:15 p.m. and Kansas
said. "These are some of the top teams in the Midwest, but we figured that if we want to get better and get ready for the spring, we need to play top competition."
Top offensive players Nick Losorelli and Ian Kietzman return as does the entire starting infield of third-baseman Andy Hicks, shortsop Kietzman, second-baseman James Anderson and first-baseman Rains.
Kansas' regular-season opener will be Feb. 24 in Lawrence against SIU-Edwardsville. Home series against Iowa State, Missouri, Iowa and St. Louis, are also on the schedule, which should be released next week.

DAILY TOREADOR
Jarrius Jackson only known starter to open the season
LUBBOCK, Texas — At his first press conference of the 2006-07 season, Tech men's basketball coach Bob Knight said Tuesday he knows his team's key to winning.
"Really I think it boils down to one thing," Knight said, "and that's going to be how well (Chris) Carpenter pitches today. I think if he pitches well today, then I think we have a chance to go up 3-2 over the Mets."
While Knight will not be sitting on the bench with St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, the coach said he is happy with his Raider squad after just five practices.
"I think that right now we have everything about as good as it can be," Knight said. "I think that our lineup, for this time of the year, is a very strong one. I think we've got the kind of depth to play against different situations."
Knight said it is too early in the season to determine what his lineup will be. The only guarantee, Knight said, is that Jarrius Jackson will be in the starting five.
Jackson, a senior guard from Monroe, La., led the Big 12 in scoring last year and was voted to the
2006-07 Preseason All-Big 12 First Team. Knight said even his all-conference guard needs to work on his game.
"Jackson has got to be a better defender or that hurts us," Knight said. "For him to be as good a player as he can be, he has to be better defensively."
In addition to Jackson, Knight welcomes nine new faces to his 2006-07 roster.
"We have pretty good competition within our roster which is really important," he said. "If kids understand that the other kids can play, then I think that's a very important thing in practice. We have the competition to probably a greater degree than we've had since we've been here."
The Raiders begin the season Nov. 11 at the United Spirit Arena against Sam Houston State. Tech's second game of the season is the first round of the GBE Classic against Gardner-Webb. As part of the early season tournament, the Raiders could play one of three teams with Final Four experience, Duke, Marquette or Stanford.
"The best thing about these early season tournaments is that if you win you get to play two more games," Knight said. "It just adds games to
the season. And the next two games are going to be against good teams"
The CBE Classic will be the third early season tournament the Raiders have played in under Knight. In the last two the Raiders played against perennial powerhouses Utah, Syracuse, Georgia Tech and Wake Forest.
The 2006-07 season will be Knights 40th year of coaching college basketball. His 879 wins are 11 shy of the record for all-time coaching victories. Knight said college basketball has changed a lot since his first season at Army.
"There are more teams that are good and more players that are good," he said. "There is a tremendous increase in the number of good players. But the really good players are not any better and, in some cases, not as good as they were back then."
Knight said he does not think he has changed much from his early days of coaching.
"My hair got gray" he said. "I probably weigh more. I don't like the media any better. That's probably it."
BIG 10 BASKETBALL
Knight said his key to victory remains the same.
"We have to get guys on base;" he said. "If we get guys on base it's really hard for them to pitch around Pujols."
Expectations are high for this year's Ohio State Buckeyes
BY CHRIS PATRICK THE LANTERN
THE LANTERN
COLUMBUS, Ohio — For months, talk of a national championship has crossed the lips of Buckeyes fans. Now, many forecasters predict similar conversations will continue well into spring concerning prospects in a sport other than football.
The biggest names in college basketball analysis, from Digger Phelps to Dick Vitale, believe this year's edition of the Ohio State men's basketball team will have its best opportunity to win the second title in school history since Scoonie Penn and Michael Redd led the 1999
Final Four run, now erased from the record books and the rafters. Phelps and Vitale, both of ESPN, rank the Buckeyes third and fourth, respectively.
With the ultimate goal in reach, it is definitely present on the players' minds.
"The first day we met as a team, coach (Thad Matta) showed us a packet with Final Four information," preseason first-team All-Big Ten pick Jamar Butler said at media day last Thursday. "He told us if we want to be there we have to work hard."

Oden is expected to be sidelined until January while recovering from off-season surgery on his right wrist. When he does return, he will be joined by his teammate from Lawrence North High School and fellow McDonald's All-American guard Mike Conley Jr. The two led the Indianapolis school to a third straight state championship this past spring.

Nevertheless, the blend of new and old faces hasn't diminished the solid team chemistry that was so important to the success enjoyed last season.
"From the first day we were really close," Butler said. "We have a strong team bond."
"If we played tomorrow, he would likely be our center," Matta said. "He can step out and shoot the ball for us and his post game has gotten better."
"We have a tremendous challenge ahead of us because we are so young," he said. "We have a lot of new guys and a short time to figure out what we can and can't do without sacrificing teaching the fundamentals."
With the early-season absence of Oden, junior center/forward Matt Tervillier will get a chance to step up for OSU after spending his first two years in the shadow of Terrence Dials.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
SPORTS
Guest columnists sound off
83 22
Nebraska wide receiver Terrence Nunn (83) fumbles during Saturday's victory against Kansas State. The Wildcats are struggling this year with a 4-3 record, but some Kansas State fans take solace in Kansas' troubles. The Jayhawks are 0-3 this year in conference play, while the Wildcats are 1-2 after defeating Oklahoma State.
KU's struggles ease K-State fans' disappointment
The Kansas State Wildcats have had a rough season, but as Nick Dunn wrote in Tuesday's K-State Collegian, they have one thing to take solace in.
If there's one thing that can cheer up a K-State fan after a loss - especially an ugly loss to rival Nebraska - it's the fact that our eastern rivals in Lawrence are struggling even more.
Remember a little over a month ago when Jayhawk fans were dreaming of a Big 12 North title in football? Kansas was riding high after a 2-0 start to the season and drooling over its "easy" Big 12 Conference schedule that conveniently was missing Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech.
Some fans predicted a nine- or 10-
win season, a possible trip to the big
12 Championship and a nice bowl game. The defense - which singlehandedly led Kansas to a bowl victory in 2005 - had lost eight starters, but no matter. Coach Mark Mangino was a defensive "genius" who could
form a dominant defense instantly.
I'd like to reserve the "genius" title for the likes of Bill Walsh or maybe Isaac Newton, but if leading a team to a seven-wi
season and a victory in the Fort Worth Bowl meets the requirements, then so be it.
J
So what happened to the Jayhawks? They've now lost four of their last five games and are 0-3 in
conference play. The "easy" Big 12
tesas A&M and Oklahoma State.
What went wrong? They ran into a slight problem: they aren't any good. A problem like that can severely
damage a team's chances at a
If you go by statistics, it turns out Mangino might not be a defense guru. The Jayhawks rank last in the Big
division title.
12 in passing defense and total defense, allowing 393 yards per game.
Kansas' 42-32 home loss to Oklahoma State Saturday wasn't televised, but apparently the Jayhawk defense forgot it's supposed to cover
the best receiver on the other team. OSU's Adarius Bowman racked up 300 yards receiving and four touchdowns.
The team could be struggling from an off-the-field distraction after the NCAA cited the program for a "lack of institutional control." That distraction is over, as the NCAA went soft by only slapping Kansas on the wrist.
Even though this K-State team doesn't begin to compare to the glory days of 1990s, it might still be better than Kansas. We'll see on Nov. 18.
So now when will those same Jayhawk fans start talking about their national championship in basketball?
Colorado coach enjoys challenge of losing streak
After an 0-6 start, Colorado finally won its first game of the season, defeating Texas Tech on Saturday. John Mossman wrote this article for Wednesday's Colorado Daily, about how coach Dan Hawkins has reacted to the losing record.
Colorado coach Dan Hawkins can, at times, appear to be a bit odd. On Tuesday, Hawkins admitted he actually took delight in his team's 0-6 record last week because of the challenge it presented.
After the Buffs beat Texas Tech 30-6 last Saturday to get their first win and snap a 10-game losing streak, Hawkins said he received calls from some of his coaching colleagues. And they weren't just congratulatory calls.
"They were funny because they said, 'Hawk, I know you were loving that, I know you were loving going through that,' Hawkins said. "And I was going, 'Yeah, kind of was a little bit.' They sort of understand who
COLORADO
I am, and a lot of them have gone through those times, too.
David Zalusowski/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Some of them go, 'I bet you're coaching better than you have in the last five years.' And I said, 'Yeah, I am. I'm doing more, I'm being more creative, I've done more things, for sure'"
So, the media asked Hawk did we misunderstand? Did you actually love being 0-6?
Colorado coach Dan Hawkins joked that he loved being 0-6 because of the challenge. His team faces another challenge on Saturday; No 20 Oklahoma.
"In a sick sort of way," Hawkins answered.
"There are those times."
So, the media asked Hawkins,
Hawkins was a successful coach at Boise State when he made the jump to a Colorado program in disarray after a disastrous finish to the 2005 season, and that gave him the opportunity to test himself.
think, just as a human being that you kind of go, 'I need to figure out what I'm all about.' When you go through that, that's another chapter of your life story"
"You go, 'Hey, remember when we had it all and we gave it up to jump into that, and remember how we made it and we hung together and we stuck it out and we saw it through?' So, yeah, in a sick sort of way, you do enjoy it."
CUJ
But were you loving it enough to do it again?
Then he joked that if the Buffs became too successful,he might not be able to resist the temptation to take on another difficult rebuilding task elsewhere.
"I hope not," he said.
Throughout the losing streak, Hawkins said he received mostly positive e-mails and phone calls from fans, faculty and students who said, "hang in there, we believe in you, you're going to be fine and all that."
And that helped him get through the rough times.
The Buffs have more confidence after their victory last week and will face No. 20 Oklahoma on sunday in Norman. Also the
But don't try telling Hawkins that the Sooners will be depleted or dejected, despite the widespread assumption that Oklahoma will miss its star runner.
Saturday in Norman. Also, the Sooners are without talented tailback Adrian Peterson, who broke his collarbone in last week's win against Iowa State.
"Hey, it's Division I football and they have scholarships," Hawkins said. "There's other guys there that can play. The guys they've got backing him up are pretty good as well. They're pretty good up front, their quarterback (Paul Thompson) is doing a nice job, and they've got good receivers."
And then there's the Sooner defense.
"Coach (Bob) Stoops has always been one of the great defensive coaches in the country," Hawkins said. "They've got it all - they're big, fast, athletic, they pressure you, they don't give up big plays. They're good in every single way."

Peterson could return this year
BY MURRAY EVANS ASSOCIATED PRESS
Peterson said he could be back in four to six weeks, but Oklahoma trainer Scott Anderson offered a six-week timeframe for Peterson's return. The injury was being treated without surgery, Anderson said.
"I would enjoy going out there and playing with the guys," Peterson said Wednesday at a news conference.
The junior was injured after falling into the end zone and landing awkwardly on his left shoulder at the end of a spectacular 53-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter of Oklahoma's 34-9 win over Iowa State.
Peterson set an NCAA Division I-A freshman record with 1,925 rushing yards in 2004 as he helped lead Oklahoma to the BCS title game and finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting. He's rushed for at least 100 yards in 22 of his 30 games at Oklahoma, including nine straight to start his career.
The star tailback, speaking publicly for the first time since breaking his collarbone on Saturday, said he intended to play in a bowl game if the Sooners reach the postseason.
NORMAN, Okla. — Adrian Peterson plans to play at least one more game for Oklahoma.
Peterson, with coach Bob Stoops standing nearby, didn't take questions about whether he plans to return to school next year or enter the NFL draft.
Oklahoma is 4-2 and 1-1 in the Big 12 entering this Saturday's home game against Colorado. The 20th-ranked Sooners need two more wins to become bowl-eligible.
Despite all that success, Peterson has been fairly injury-prone in his Oklahoma career. He dislocated his left shoulder in fall practice in 2004, reaggrivated it during the regular season and then had surgery in the offseason.
His performance Saturday moved him into fourth place on Oklahoma's all-time rushing list. He would need only 150 to match 1978 Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims' total of 4,118 yards.
If Peterson makes it back in four weeks, he could conceivably
Peterson said he immediately knew something was "seriously wrong," when he hit the turf on his final play. He said he's still in "a lot of pain" but that he plans to maintain his conditioning while the injury heals.

ENTERTAINMENT Actor Wesley Snipes indicted for tax fraud
TAMPA, Fla. — Actor Wesley Snipes was indicted Tuesday on eight counts of tax fraud, accused of trying to cheat the government out of nearly $12 million in false refund claims and not filing returns for six years.
Prosecutors said Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 on income taxes already paid.
"it's a conspiracy against the IRS, basically to harass the IRS, from doing its lawful job in term of collection of taxes," U.S. Attorney Paul I. Perez said at a news conference.
According to the indictment, Snipes had his taxes prepared by accountants with a history of filing false returns to reap payments for their clients. The firm American Rights Litigators would receive 20 percent of refunds from clients, according to the indictment.
If convicted of all the charges, Snipes could face 16 years in prison — five years each on two conspiracy counts and one year each on six counts of failure to file income tax returns.
Snipes, 44, has not been arrested because authorities don't know where he is, Perez said. Snipes' manager and attorney did not return phone messages from
The Associated Press.
The indictment said Snipes conspired with American Rights Litigators' founder Eddie Ray Kahn and tax preparer Douglas P. Rosile Sr. to file false refund claims based on a bogus argument that only income from foreign sources was subject to taxation.
That included a claim for a $7.3 million refund for 1997, in which an amended tax return reported Snipes' adjusted income as zero.
Rosile is in custody in Ocala, Perez said, and the third defendant named in the indictment, Kahn, is believed to be out of the country.
A call to an attorney who is representing Rosile in the 2002 lawsuit was not returned. It wasn't clear if he had any other legal representation. Federal court records indicate that he filed for bankruptcy on June 29.
Perez said the IRS considers the tax preparation business founded by Kahn as a "tax protest organization."

Rapper Fabolous shot, arrested in New York City
The 28-year-old rapper, whose legal name is John Jackson, had just left Justin's, a restaurant owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs, with three friends when a gunman approached and opened fire, police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wysokowski said.
NEW YORK — The rapper Fabolous was shot early Tuesday as he stood at a Manhattan parking garage, spurring a sequence of events that left him hospitalized and then under arrest.
Fabolous was hit in the thigh. He and his entourage jumped into a 2005 Dodge Magnum and fled, attracting the attention of police when they ran a red light. Officers stopped them and discovered two loaded guns in the vehicle, both of which were apparently unlicensed, Wysokowski said. All four men were arrested, and charges were pending.
The rapper was in police custody after being treated at Bellevue Hospital. Police were searching for the shooter.
The Brooklyn native's hits have included "Breathe" and "Can't Deny it." He recently took part in the taping of the VH1 Hip Hop Honors, which were to air Tuesday evening.
An e-mail seeking comment from a representative at Def Jam Recordings was not immediately returned early Tuesday. The label is producing the rapper's upcoming solo album, due out in December, according to Fabolous' Web page on MySpace.com.

Game seven
The Mets defeat the Cardinals 4-2 to force a series-deciding game tonight in New York
BY RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — With the New York Mets on the brink of elimination, John Maine pitched a game to remember.
The rookie dominated the St. Louis Cardinals with the poise of a veteran, Jose Reyes sparked the offense with a leadoff home run and the Mets rock 'n' rolled at boisterous Shea Stadium to beat St. Louis 4-2 on Wednesday night and force the NL championship series to a decisive seventh game.
Reyes had three hits and two stolen bases, Shawn Green boosted the lead with a fourth-inning RBI single and Paul Lo Duca let the loud crowd of 56,342 exhale with a two-run single in the seventh off Braden Looper that made it 4-0.
When: 7:19 p.m.
Darting in and out of trouble twice in the first three innings, Maine outpitched reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Carpenter. Maine allowed two hits in the first and none after that, pitching 5 1-3 shutout innings, striking out five and walking four.
Tonight's game
Of 11 prior teams to trail 3-2 in the LCS and force a seventh game, eight pennants. The exceptions were the 1988 Mets, the 1992 Pittsburgh Pirates and 2003 Boston Red Sox.
Now the pennant comes down to Thursday night, when the Cardinals send Jeff Suppan to the mound to save their season. The Mets, carefully piecing together their pitching following injuries to Pedro Martinez and Orlando Hernandez, most likely will start Darren Oliver, Steve Trachsel or Oliver Perez.
Where: Shea Stadium, New York
Who: The St. Louis Cardinals vs. the New York Mets
When it was time to come out, he was circled on the mound like a conquering hero: Reyes patted
TV: Fox (Channel 4)
him on the back and David Wright patted him on the shoulder. Maine acknowledged the standing ovation with only a small wave of his left hand as he walked to the dugout.
Chad Bradford, Guillermo Mota,
Aaron Heilman and Billy Wagner
finished, with Wagner allowing
a two-run, two-out double to So
Taguchi in the ninth.
In a rematch of Game 2 starters who didn't get decisions. Carpenter was nearly as good, just not enough on this night. He gave up two runs and seven hits in six innings, dropping to 0-1 in his two sticks.
Shea Stadium was rocking, with the volume on the speakers turned up and the scoreboard flashing quotes from Mets players praising the fans. In the first Game 6 at the ballpark since the famous comeback against Boston that was capped by Mookie Wilson's grounder through Bill Buckner's legs, the spirit of '86 was invoked on several signs.
"Uno, dos, adios," read another sign.
Maine, a 25-year-old right-hander, was obtained in January's dump of Kris Benson to Baltimore. In a tense time, he provided the cool of a veteran — on days he pitches, he usually sits by himself in the clubhouse before the game doing Sudoku puzzles.
He got in trouble in the first and third innings, but came up with the big outs, perhaps the biggest of his life. St. Louis had runners at second and third with one out in the first, before Maine fanned Jim Edmonds on three pitches and loaded the bases by hitting Juan Encarnacion. Lo Duca saved a run with a backhand stop of a pitch in the dirt on a 1-2 pitch to Scott Rolen, who then fled out.
David Eckstein walked leading off the third and stole second, but Maine struck out Scott Spiezio and, after intentionally walking Albert Pujols, retired Edmonds on a flyout and struck out Encarnación.
That left St. Louis 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position. Maine didn't allow any runners past first after that.
Reyes' home run, a no-doubt-about it drive to right-center, was his first in postseason play — his first since Sept. 10. It was the first leadoff homer Carpenter allowed.
New York used small ball to double its lead in the fourth. Carlos Beltran singled into left field leading off, advanced on a one-out single by Wright — just his second hit in 19 at-bats in the LCS. Green then hit an opposite-field liner into left.
Bradford got Rolen to hit into an inning-ending double play in the sixth, and Mota retired pinch-hitter Chris Duncan on an inning-ending double play in the seventh. Then, following singles by pinch-hitter and Reyes in the bottom half, Lo Duca got the big single against Looper.
"Top of the Hill" Optometrist Office, Dr. Kevin Lenahan Optometrist and Associates, Get Help in a Big Way from One of KU's Own Dr. Chris Arnold.
N. M.
Chris Arnold grew up in the Midwest. Dr. Arnold attended the University of Kansas where he received his undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology He then persued his optometry profession by attending the University of Missouri St. Louis School of Optometry located in St. Louis, Missouri.
Dr. Arnold is currently a member of the American Optometric Association, as well as the Kansas Optometric Association. His special interests include ocular pathology, contact lenses, and pediatrics. Dr. Arnold practices in both the Lawrence and Topeka offices. He currently resides in Lawrence, Kansas, where he is an avid Jayhawk fan.
My favorite part about the optometry profession would be the day to day interaction with different individuals as well as being able to provide a service that will enrich one's life.
What is your fondest KU memory?
What is your favorite part about your profession?
Returning to Lawrence to watch the KU men's basketball team make its run at a National Championship in 2003. The atmosphere and energy in this town after each win was second to none.
What would you consider to be your greatest accomplishment? One of my most defining accomplishments is when I was inducted into Beta Sigma Kappa National Optometric Honor Society while obtaining my optometric degree at St. Louis.

note.
At family dinners, I have my own special seat at the end of the table. My mom used to cut the fabric for me when I would sew, because I couldn't use the scissors properly. Before I shake hands with people, I have to stop and think before I stick out my right hand.
I am a lefty.
And I live in a right-handed world. I have to use the computer mouse on the right side, turn my body to write on right-handed desks and am painfully bad at sports because they're designed for righties.
Today, Jayplay is catering to the lefties of the world. You may have noticed your copy of Jayplay opens from the opposite side, making it easy for southpaws to thumb through and giving righties a taste of their own medicine.
Jacky Carter looks at life through the eyes of a southpaw, uncovering what makes that 10 to 15 percent of the population different and how a lefty's life can be stressful living in a right-handed world.
Even this world is predominately geared toward right-handed folk,I'm accustomed to the right — my wrong— way of doing things. And, who knows, maybe with some more practice I'll get better at sports.

WHAT IS THE WEIRDEST THING YOU HAVE EVER EATEN?
WHAT WAS YOUR BEST HALLOWEEN COSTUME?
IF YOU COULD NAME A CITY, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT?
IF YOU COULD HAVE A SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIECE OF CLOTHING?
When I was younger, my brothers and I went down to the creek and caught crawdads and a few frogs, and my mom cooked them for dinner.
When I was in fifth grade, my best friend and I decided to go as a two-headed monster. We used a white sheet and got out the puffy paint. We spent three hours stepping on each other’s feet.
Is this the question where I include a dryky weather reference? Like, Windy, Kansas or Squall Line, USA? I guess I would name it Early Riser. I have been doing TV morning shows for over five years, but the alarm clock does not get any easier.
My sister says this is stupid, but sleep control. I want to be able to fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow and sleep two hours and feel fine, ready for the next day.
When I was 10, my sister and I went through a phase in life that we’d like to fix up our old shirts and shorts with puffy paint. I have this child’s size medium sweatshirt that I used glitter puffy paint and put “fly high” on the front, and the back has peace signs and the words “cool” and “dude.”
Raw fish. Not sushi, just raw fish that is salted. It is a traditional Russian meal. I actually enjoyed it.
Probably when I was Audrey Hepburn last year.
I would call it “Mufaca” because it sounds like Mufasa, and it kind of sounds like a cuss word. It would be on a remote island.
I probably shouldn’t have one. I would abuse it and cause trouble.
Any dress I have. I like dresses.
CATCH of the week
Name: Aziz Sultani, Shawnee senior
Major: Cognitive psychology
Jobs: Boys and Girls Club after school group leader and Psycholinguistics Event-Related Potentials (ERP) lab manager
Hobbies: Sand volleyball, frisbee golf, mountain biking and reading and writing poetry
What he looks for in a girl: Confidence, good sense of humor, easy-going, cute smile
Ideal date: Something crazy and adventurous like bungee jumping, sky-diving or even just driving to Kansas City, staying at a nice hotel and being waited on.
Worst date ever: He and a girl went out to eat, and it was difficult to get her to talk. He would ask questions, and she would give one-word answers. “I wanted to walk out because it wasn’t working, and we both knew it,” Sultani says. He stayed on the date but realized he had wasted his time.“I did learn not to plan a date when you’re drunk though,” he says.
If he could be one fictional character he would be: Gonzo. In elementary school Sultani was really shy and a really big, mean girl — the tallest kid in class — always picked on him. He hated it, and to him, the girl always personified Miss Piggy, so he could really relate to Gonzo.
Plans for the future: Starting in or around February, he’ll be working as a real estate agent for one year in Washington D.C. then going to graduate school to get his Ph.D.
Fun fact: Nick Hexum, the lead singer of 311, once told him that he rocks.
What his friends say:“He’s a very motivated guy. He’s got good work ethic, and he’s always trying to get a bunch of things going for him with his research and getting things published,” Nick Zawada, Sioux Falls senior, says. “He’s always on top of everything. He just has his shit together.”

“They’re in a boarding house that is full of people who are sleeping or trying to sleep, and they just start going at it. It’s awesome, and it’s hilarious because Johnny Rotten just finished talking about how fornicators are disgusting pigs, and Sid is just like, ‘I don’t care’ cause Nancy’s so hot.’”

“When Sebastian takes Annette’s virginity. I like it best because it’s real. It has both the lust and the love aspects, which I believe are needed to have phenomenal sex in real life. With ‘Colorblind’ playing, the story leading up to the sex scene, seeing a fair amount of sweaty skin….It’s not hiding the fact that they actually had sex. It also doesn’t hurt that they’re both gorgeous. I love it.”

GETTING GLOVE When buying condoms is just too embarrassing to bear, have no fear. FOR YOUR LOVE
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/JARED GAB
You've gone down every aisle at Walgreens. You know what you came for, but picking up a box of condoms off the shelf is harder than you plan to be tonight. You quickly grab the first box you see and rush to the check-out line. You're in such a hurry to get out of the store that you bump into the person in line in front of you. To your horror, Aunt Jean just caught you just before the action with a box of glow-in-the-dark condoms.
So embarrassing...
Purchasing the raincoat that protects against the shower of STDs and screaming children is usually most difficult for women. The inner judgments of the stud working the counter and other customers contribute to the stress of buying banana bandanas.
Kelly Stromberg, Derby sophomore, says she doesn't like to buy condoms because of people around."I'm afraid they're thinking 'Wow, what a whore' and 'Someone's gonna get some tonight.' "Stromberg says.
Having someone judgin' your lovin' can be more uncomfortable than your first whack in the sack. Men may be proud of their conquests, but women often face labels such as slut, tramp and whore that are attached to their sexual lifetitles.
FOR THE LOVE-MAKING MACHINES WHO CAN'T SUCK IT UP AND BUY THE DANG CONDOMS THEMSELVES, OTHERS MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO AVOID HAVING A LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY.
Buying condoms is not usually difficult for men, but there are times when these shaggers don't want to boast, "I'm getting laid tonight." Guys also struggle with the judgment of the person behind the counter. "It was embarrassing to know that they know why you're buying them," Andrew Fennelly, Naperville, Ill. junior, says. He was embarrassed to buy condoms in high school and to publicly admit that he did the horizontal polka. "It was embarrassing then, but I'm over it now," Fennelly says.
Discrete willy-wrapping
Sexed-up shoppers have
05=> JAYPLAY 10.19.2006
found ways to distract attention from the boxes of lover covers in their carts. Kendra Melves, Olathe sophomore, is a cashier at Walgreens, 400 W. 23rd St. and has witnessed many men keeping their rubbers under cover."Most guys will buy other stuff with the condoms whether it be gum or something else," Melves says.
The embarrassment doesn't seem to fade with age. The most hesitant condom shoppers are older men, timid to admit that they're bumping uglies, Meines says.
were listed as one of the items most frequently stolen. Public groups and organizations have a solution to this problem: give out wraps for free.
Love-making freezes in a National Retail Security Survey done in 1995, condoms
Love-making freebies
For the love-making machines who can't suck it up and buy the dang condoms themselves, others make it easier for you to avoid having a little bundle of joy. Student Union Activities passes out condoms on campus to promote awareness of sexual health issues.The Douglas County AIDS Project (DCAP) has had an impact on the sexual health of KU students. The organization is 17 years old and receives funding from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. DCAP
is responsible for the condom bowls that excite almost as much some grinding action and are located throughout Lawrence.These bowls are full of free protection from babies and syphills.
Alcohol can up your odds of jumping in the sack, so the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., is one of the locations that requested a bowl of condoms. Cooper Moon, bartender at Replay thinks having the condoms around is a good idea for sexed-up bar-goers."We have a bowl of condoms 'cause it's a bar, people get drunk and, ya know,"Moon says.
DCAP also handed out condoms in front of Wescoce last month along with copies of The University Daily Kansan's Sex on the Hill.
Making sure you're safe when
Deacon Jones, Olathe senior,

Conocity, 955 E.23rd St.
you bump and grind should outweigh embarrassment, says Kristin Brumm, executive director of DCAP."This day and age, there is really no need to be embarrassed. It's the safe thing to do and the right thing to do," she says.
There are no legitimate excuses for not protecting your man or womanhood. Even if you can't get over the fear of the Blonde Betty assuming you're a player when you walk up to buy those Trojan goodies, you can get them at the bar on Saturday or even in front of Wescoe on your way to class. Get yourself some condoms, wrap it up and get it on.

Jeter, a boxer owned by Staci Earl, is a regular here. Other owners know his name. The stout-looking 4-year-old is gentle with breeds

Take Clinton Parkway west to the Clinton Dam Road.
Turn south on the dam road and take the first left onto 902 Road.
The second designated dog park has only been around since last spring, so at this point it's not used as much as Mutt Run, says Fred DeVictor, director of Lawrence Parks and Recreation. "But with such high demand for the first park way out by Clinton, we thought this would be a good location for a second park."DeVictor says.
Mutt Run is at the bend in the road that leads to the north side of the spillway.
senior, says she takes her German shepherd out to Mutt Run almost every day. "My vet told me it's a good way to help socialize him. And it makes him happy, he likes it."Traylor says.
The high demand and use of Mutt Run led the City of Lawrence to construct a second dog park, unnamed thus far, at Riverfront Park, on the northwest end of Lawrence at the junction of Highway 24/40 and Highway 59. Handlers can access the second park by turning west at this intersection and going up over the flood control dam on the Kansas River.

As students move away from the dorms and into their own apartmentsorhouses,theybecome more likely to feel the need for
Allison Traylor, Overland Park
companionship. This need can be filled by purchasing a dog, City bans on certain types of dogs — especially on rottweilers and pit bulls — have shown that it is important to remember that part of owning a dog is making your best effort at being a responsible owner.
George Schreiner, doctor of veterinary medicine at Eudora Animal Hospital, says
that an increasing use of dog parks shows that dog owners are trying to be responsible. But the parks need to be regulated, Schreiner says. "Some [dogs] never become socialized even with extensive training, like some pit bulls who have been trained to be aggressive."
Make sure your dog's shots are up-to-date before you let him mingle with the other pups. It's vital to your dog's health to be fully vaccinated, Schreiner says. "The chance of catching something increases with the number of dogs they are exposed to," he says.
If you own a dog or are thinking of becoming an owner, keep the two parks in mind when taking your dog for an outing. Sidewalk strolls are good exercise for your pet, just like games of fetch in the backyard, but the exposure and psychological benefits of being around other dogs can't be simulated in any other setting.
All dogs declared dangerous by the code of the City of Lawrence are not permitted to use the park and are not permitted on
the premises.
All dogs must be legally vaccinated and wear visible licenses.

No dogs under 4 months of age are permitted.
Handlers must pick up poop and place it in a designated container.

GRAD CHECK
Each year students make the legendary walk through the Campanile, down The Hill and into the real world. We're here to check in on them.
Dor Van Westmough
Dan Fambrough Year:1948 Hometown:Lawrence Degree:Education Age: 82----today is his birthday
Back in the day: Fambrough, now known for his eternal dedication to KU football as a coach, started at the University of Kansas, as a student and football player after World War II.
He attended the University of Texas before the war, playing as a guard in the Cotton Bowl in 1943 before he joined the Air Force. After the war KU All-American fullback Ray Evans persuaded him to attend the University of Kansas.
"It was a little different situation," he says. "We'd all been in the service for around four years and we were older. My junior year I was 26 at KU and married with a family. We had some freshmen who were 17 years old who would say, 'Yes, sir,' and "No, sir," to most of us. But they were our teammates and they respected their elders."
Like a rock (chalk): Fambrough graduated after a heartbreaking 20-14 Orange Bowl loss to Georgia Tech on Jan. 1, 1948. He stuck around the following year
as a graduate assistant coach and worked as an assistant for 19 years before becoming head coach in 1971. He served as head coach until 1974 and again from 1979 to 1982.He played or coached in five Jayhawk bowl games.
Today: Fambrough lives in Lawrence, and through retirement his dedication to KU football has stayed strong."I try to go to practice every day," he says. "I'm very proud to be a Jayhawk."
Whether you're singin' along, groovin' by yourself or just studying in the library, we'll catch you with the MUSIC THAT MOVES YOU
**Word of advice:** When I started college as a freshman at Texas, I was 17 years old. I was looking for a lot of good times and all that," he says. "I just had a different attitude when I got out (of World War III). I know you think you can do all these other things right now. But you're really a select group. Not a lot of people get to go to college to get an education."

SOUND FOR SIGHT
by Katherine Loeck
For the visually impaired, Penthouse,the radio and braille have something
in common.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Naomi Lomax has seen the ocean and the sunrise. She's seen Disney Land and the circus. Now she wants to see if her daughter looks tired and if her son's hair is growing gray. She wants to see the differences between her granddaughter and grandson.
Lomax, a 68-year-old Olathe resident, wants something that she can never have again; her sight.
Lomax had knee-replacement surgery on Valentine's Day in 2000. She stopped breathing that night from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., leaving her in a vegetative state for three days. Doctors said she would be non-responsive for the rest of her life and encouraged her family to pull the plug on her.
Lomax says she was miraculously brought back to life by a message from God to never give up.She was alive, but unable to see.The doctor said her vision may come back within 18 months. It didn't.
Today Lomax is unable to walk and can only see shapes and shadows with her 20/2800 vision — anything less than 20/200 is considered legally blind. "I have no eye contact with anyone," Lomax says. "It's so lonely."
A service at the University of Kansas helps fill the void in Lomax's days. The Kansas Audio Reader Network, 1120 W. 11th St., broadcasts current printed materials to individuals who are unable to read for themselves. Everything from Oprah's Book Club to Penthouse magazine is available on a specially tuned radio that is loaned, free of charge, to any applicant who is diagnosed with visual impairment, says Sarah Hemme, development associate for the network.
The Audio Reader Network fosters an enriched and independent lifestyle for more than 6,000 people who are print-impaired throughout Kansas and western Missouri, Hemme says.
A radio schedule listed in Braille allows listeners to tune in to their favorite programs, which are read live or recorded by volunteers.
Lomax's Audio-Reader radio is the first thing she turns on in the morning and the last thing she turns off at night. In addition to The Washington Post, local news, the weather and books from the Harry Potter series, Lomax listens to a disability program that provides information like how to use a computer with damaged hands or how to get a job. The travel shows take Lomax out 09>JAYPLAY 10:19.2006
of her chair to places where she cannot physically go. Audio Reader takes her into another world, she says. "It may be the only laugh I have in a day."
The broadcasters themselves have
an impact on listeners too. About 25 of the 300 volunteers who broadcast for Audio Reader are KU students, and the service works flexibly around students' schedules, Hemme says.

was the second radio reading service in the world. Today, Audio Reader is one of 100 services in the U.S. The signal is transmitted 24 hours a day to regional listeners. Only the special Audio-Reader
has volunteered with the program for three years. She broadcasts the newspapers of northwest Missouri. Having access to local newspapers and information is an important part of being in a community, Massoni says. Her work is emotionally involving and fulfilling, she says."If one of my friends didn't have access to a newspaper, I would do it for them."
more information.
Established in 1971, Audio Readers
radios can pick up the signal.
In Lawrence the program runs on 91.5, Kansas Public Radio. The signal is also streamed worldwide on the Internet. "It's just like a library, letting people listen to what they would normally read," says
Art Hadley, Audio Reader producer and engineer.
Ben Englebrecht, Wichita freshman, works for KU Disability Resources, another service that assists the visually impaired. He reads tests aloud to visually-impaired students, writes answers for them and takes notes.
Englebrecht, a mechanical engineering major, walks to school, wears glasses and was born legally
blind. Without his glasses, which are barely thicker than average, his vision is 20/800. With them it's 20/200.
He is one of 15 visually impaired KU students who use Disability Resources every year, says Melissa Manning, Disability Resources associate director.
Engelbrecht can't read the clock on the wall, but he can read print in a 12 point font just fine. However, at 10 point he reads considerably slower. By filing for disability services at KU, Engelbrecht receives more time to take tests than his classmates. The worst thing about being legally blind is that he can never have a driver's license, he says. "I really don't have a big problem with it. All my friends know, and they take care of me."
Individuals with visual impairments are unable to do everyday things — like simply reading a magazine — that most people take for granted.
After her surgery, Lomax asked God to take her life. She couldn't walk, talk or find her nose with her hand. Today, she still cannot find her nose but Audio-Reader reminds her to never give up. "It becomes my life" she says.
Blake Cripps, Topeka senior, reads the TV Guide aloud Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 19, at Audio Reader, 1120 W. 11th St.
Genetics also contribute to left-handedness. Parents who are both left-handed have a 50 percent chance of having left-handed children. Parents who are both left-handed have just a 2 percent chance of lefy offspring. Women no become pregnant when they're older than 40 are more likely to have left-handed children. And for unknown reasons, left-handedness is more common in antical twins than other births. Left-handedness is more common in men than women. Scientists suggest having more estosterone slows the left side the brain from developing, taking the right side of the brain minorant. Brain association is positive, so left-handed people's minute side of the brain is the ht.
Just as the cause is unknown are theories of whether left-handed people are more prone to diseases and an early death. A 2000 study by Canadian researchers and that being left-handed is more common in people who are bian or gay.
Research published in the British Medical Journal concluded at left-handed women are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. The study found that nuthpaws are more than twice as likely to have breast cancer before enopause.
Another theory states that ties die earlier because of the stresses of living in a right-ended world. A 1991 edition of the Psychology Bulletin citedSpan studies that found that a number of lefties decreasesolder age groups. The research included lefties don't live as long.1994 study published in the British Medical Journal found that ties are more likely to die fromnatural causes. The research and a strong association with
National Left-Handed Day Whether you're a southpaw or just want to celebrate them, the annual celebration is Aug. 13. Ellen Young, Lawrence resident, likes that she's a little different from everybody else. She takes this day every year to display her southpaw pride. Young wears a button and receives calls from friends and family acknowledging her special day. Young has been celebrating since 1996. Her lefty pride continues year-round. Young visited a left-handed store in Branson, Mo., and bought a T-shirt that says "I may be left-handed, but

deaths during wars. Other studies, including those by English neurologist Simon Ellis, found handedness unrelated to lifespan.
Despite the research suggesting that lefties have more health problems, being a southpaw has its benefits, which some attribute to brain lateralization.
The health effects of lefthandedness don't always wait until adulthood to emerge. Children who are left-handed are up to three times more likely to be diagnosed with juvenile diabetes than right-handed children.
Life as a lefty Fifty years ago, teachers punished students who were
United States Presidents also have a higher rate of left-handedness than the average population, roughly one in three, according to The Lefty Notebook. All the 1992 presidential candidates were left-handed — George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Ross Perot.
The left and the right hemispheres of the brain are specialized for certain functions. In general, the left side of the brain specializes in logical, analytical, objective thinking. The right side of the brain focuses on subjective, random, intuitive thinking.

Because lefties' brains are commonly controlled by the right hemisphere, they are more likely to excel in art, music and abstract thinking. Right-handed people process language in the left side of the brains. Lefties, however, don't have such clear boundaries in brain functions. Left-handed people handle language functions with both sides of their brain.
While 10 to 15 percent of the population is left-handed, 20 percent of MENSA members are. MENSA members' IQs are among the top 2 percent.

If I believed all the theories, I am the way I am because I didn't have a successful toilet training experience. Or I was traumatized during childbirth. Or I suffered brain damage in my mother's womb. I'm evil, incompetent and awkward. I'll probably die seven to nine years before my friends, and I'm more likely to suffer from schizophrenia or alcoholism while I'm still alive. All this just because I left-handed.
Comprising 10 to 15 percent of the world's population, lefties are a minority. And while elementary school teachers aren't tying down children's left hands when they try to write with them anymore, lefties are still treated as if they were defective.
Despite the challenges of using scissors, spiral-bound notebooks and musical instruments, leftoies like Albert Einstein, Oprah Winfrey and Jimi Hendrix went on to become prodigies in their respective fields.

I never thought of myself as different until sixth grade. My teacher, Mrs. Robinson, wasn't too fond of my handwriting. More than once, she told my parents about how I could improve my penmanship.

Robinson told my mom that she was only looking out for my best interests, as good handwriting was a habit we all need to learn early on. My life's penmanship was at stake.
The definitions of "left" give plenty of reasons to have a negative association. The first definition of "left-handed" is using the left hand more habitually than the right, according to Merriam-Webster Online.
The perils of a left-handed life are more than sitting at right-handed desks and accumulating ink on your hand from writing across a page. The Left-Handers Day Web site, www.lefthandersday.com, conducted a survey about life as a lefty. About 85 percent of the respondents consider themselves clumsier than right-handed people. Nearly three-quarters said they had experienced difficulty in school because they were left-handed.
Weli,duh.
Left-handed linguistics
From using household appliances to playing sports, lefties are constantly adapting to a right-hand world. And because lefties are far outnumbered and misunderstood, people throughout time have pegged them as evil or incompetent.
But the rest of the entries portray a serious deficiency. Clumsy, Awkward. Dubious. Counterclockwise. Not exactly pleasant connotations. Antonyms? Dexterous and sincere.
Even in other languages, "left-handed" carries sinister connotations. In German, Greek, Italian and Spanish, the phrase translates to awkward, ill-omened, crooked and creepy. The words awkward and gawky come from the word "awk," which means "from the left."
The word right, on the other hand, is associated with being correct, proper, appropriate and normal. He arrives right on time. She is in the right mind. The doll sat upright.
Although research hasn't pinpointed what makes a person prefer one hand over another, that hasn't stopped researchers from contemplating the causes. One theory suggests trouble during birth causes children to become left-handed. Although some research backs brain damage as a determining factor in handedness, the theory fails to explain why the number of left-handed people hasn't decreased despite medical advances.
Linguistically, lefties don't get a break. But despite the connection to negativity, lefties have gone on to do great things. Leonardo da Vinci jump-started every principle of modern science. Aristotle pioneered an entire system of ethics still taught on college campuses today. And Julia Roberts consistently tops Forbes' annual list of the 100 most powerful people in Hollywood.
Causes and correlations
Tests can determine hand preference based on how you perform certain tasks. The Edinburgh Handedness Inventory assesses which hand you prefer to use to write, brush your teeth, open a box and other tasks and whether you can use your other hand as well. You can take the test for yourself at http://airto.loni.ucla.edu/BMCweb/Consent/edinburgh.html.
The New England Journal of Medicines suggests a simpler approach to determining handedness. You can find your dominant hand by looking at the base of your thumbsails and seeing which one is wider and more square.

learning to write when they used their left hand.
Kerry Benson, professional-in-residence for the school of journalism, says her kindergarten and first grade teachers hit her on the left hand when she used it to write. Her teachers told her that her left hand was wrong, Benson says. During parent-teacher conferences, one teacher told Benson's mother that although her daughter was bright, she wouldn't succeed if she continued to write with her
left hand. "I thought I'd fall at life," Benson says.
She wanted to do well in school so she practiced using her right hand. But it wasn't that simple. She did everything as a left-handed person, and her body was conflicted. Left-handed people are always reminded that they're not like the majority of people because they're always adapting, she says.
By second grade, Benson consistently wrote with her right hand. She was able to
write with both hands until she was 20, when her left hand was crushed and she wore a cast for a year. Although Benson stopped writing with her left hand nearly 30 years ago, she doesn't consider herself right-handed. "I am left-handed," she says. "I write with my right hand, but I think with my left hand and that makes me a left-handed person."
Joanie Starks, Lawrence resident, experienced similar challenges in elementary school. Starks writes with her left hand but doesn't consider herself a true lefty. She says that her elementary school teachers didn't allow students to write with their left hands so she was forced to learn how to write with her right hand. Because she learned to use both hands early, Starks says she doesn't have typical lefty traits. She doesn't have a hook — a horizontal rather than vertical hand positioning — when she writes.
Junior high was the first time Starks was able to use her left hand without being punished. Ironically, she broke her left hand and had to use her right one until the left hand healed.
Although Starks had difficulties adhering to left-handed life, when her son was born, he naturally started using his left hand, but her husband trained him to be right-handed.
"Everyone tended to not want him to be left-handed," Starks says.
Her husband, expecting their son to play sports when he got older, didn't want to buy left-handed golf clubs, so when their son ate, used crayons or picked things up with his left hand, her husband would pull it away. "I wonder how many people do that — not wanting to have a left-handed in a right-handed world," Starks said. "If I could go back, I wouldn't have made him switch.
Sports
Handwriting wasn't the only place I had problems. Playing sports is a whole other evil. My right-handed cousins tried teaching me how to play softball. I had to throw and catch like a right-handed person because gloves for lefties were not only hard to find, but much more expensive. I learned how to throw like a right person, but never got the hang of batting.
During dance classes, I thought I was clumsy and uncoordinated. With wall-to-wall floor-length mirrors in the studio for everyone to see my every move, I stood out as pirouetted the wrong way and barely escaped colliding with the other ballerinas. We always began dance moves starting to the right, and I naturally spun in the opposite direction from everyone
else. Sometimes I would catch myself before I turned left and made a conscious effort to spin to the right with everyone else.
Lefties often have similar experiences with sports. Starks, a physical education teacher for Lawrence Public Schools, had trouble with athletics. When she was learning how to play softball, she didn't know which hand to put the glove on. She plays the field left-handed but bats right-handed. Because of her experience, Starks says she encourages her students to experiment with both sides.
Finding a dominant side to play sports can be confusing for left-handed people. Kati Purmort, Colorado Springs, Colo., graduate student, says she had trouble adapting to right-handed equipment. She remembers playing catch with her father and having to use a right-hander's glove because that was all he had. She never learned the correct way to throw a ball because she says she was using the wrong hand."To this day I throw a ball terribly because I was never able to practice with the right glove and learn how to do it right."Purmort says.
Purmort managed to overcome the challenges of being a left-handed athlete. Purmort, who played for KU's soccer team while she was an undergraduate student, says was the only player who could kick a
soccer ball equally as well with both feet.
In volleyball, the other team didn't expect her to hit with her left hand so they didn't block her correctly. Purmort says she had an advantage in soccer and volleyball because she was left-handed and left-footed.
Despite my sixth-grade handwriting hurdles, I've managed life just fine. In fact, my left-handed, right-brained thinking suits me well in my creative pursuits of magazine and newspaper design. While it does get annoying to wash off the ink stains from writing and to arrange my placement at the dinner table to avoid hitting people, it's something I've learned to live with. Although the left-handed population won't soon become a majority, the world owes a lot to the lefties who have not only adapted, but excelled in acting, writing and musical compositions.
So on behalf of lefties everywhere, I hold my head high. We've learned to adapt to notebooks, guitars and can openers. We can wangle a righty desk and wrong-handedly maneuver a computer mouse with equal ease. And we gave the world a show about nothing, the political sex scandal of the century and Moonlight Sonata.
So on behalf of all lefties.
You're welcome, mankind.

Q&A

PHOTO COURTESY OF COLUMBIA RECORDS
WITH SINGER-SONGWRITER MAT KEARNEY
Nashville-grown artist Mat Kearney makes a stop in Lawrence tonight during his U.S. headlining tour. Kearney's hit single, "Nothing Left To Lose" has been playing non-stop on the radio, and five of his other songs have made it onto the tube on such hits as "Grey's Anatomy," "Friday Night Lights" and "Bones."
Q: YOUR MUSIC HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS POP, FOLK, BLUES AND HIP HOP. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC?
Kearney: I try not to describe it. You just kind of have to hear it. It's great songs — that's what I try to write — and different styles, since I was influenced by different people.
Q: WHO ARE YOUR BIGGEST MUSICAL INFLUENCES?
Kearney: Everything from Bob Dylan to U2 to Bob Marley and Johnny Cash.
Q: HOW DID YOU LEARN TO RAP?
Q: HOW DID YOU LEARN TO RAP?
Kearney: I was an English major in college and wrote poetry and some of that is just respect for the spoken word.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SONG ON YOUR ALBUM, NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE?
Kearney: You know, that's funny because it changes every day. Different moments in life, different cities, different people, what mood, what state emotionally I'm in — it just resonates with what I'm doing at that time.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SONG TO PLAY?
Kearney: It just depends. Some nights it's the epic ones and other nights it's the slow, ballad ones. I love sitting down at the piano and playing "Middle" or "All I Need." That's fun for me.
Q: DO YOU HAVE ANY RITUALS OR WEIRD THINGS YOU DO BEFORE YOU GO ON STAGE?
Kearney: Not really, I don't have too many. I'll definitely run through my weird vocal exercises, and some nights we'll do some group yoga as a band (laughs).
Q: WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST HELP IN PROMOTING YOUR MUSIC?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Kearney: If there's one thing I've learned in this industry, it's that there's not one thing that will make you or break you. Shows help huge, radio helps huge.TV has been really fun.Grey's Anatomy has, like, adopted me as their soundtrack.Actually, I think they're using another song this week. It's all really important.Not one thing is your big break, it's like a series and a team of people who make this label that help.
Q: HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE ON THE RADIO?
Kearny: It was surreal. It's not so strange to hear your song on the radio. The strange part is when the DJs and the people say your name and talk about you between songs, because I'm used to sending in demos and working in the studio. Then you start hearing people say your name, butcher your name, after your song's on the radio.
Q: HOW DO YOU REACT WHEN PEOPLE MISSPELL OR MISPRONOUNCE YOUR NAME? (IT'S PRONOUNCED KAR-nee.)
Kearney: Oh, you know, my mom had to make it difficult on me by spelling it weird, and my name looks like it would be pronounced "KER-nee," but you know I blame my Irish heritage.
Q: IF YOU HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?
Kearney: I would have started writing and singing earlier in my life. I didn't start until I was a junior in college, but you know, honestly I don't have any regrets in my music career. I've been very patient. Anytime I've gotten myself in trouble is when I wasn't patient.
Mat Kearney will perform tonight at the Granada,
1020 Massachusetts St., at 8 p.m.

IT TAKES ABOUT 48 APPLES TO MAKE A GALLON OF APPLE CIDER, SAYS SHELLY SCHIERMAN, OWNER OF LOUISBURG CIDER MILL IN LOU!SBURG.
Take a scenic one-hour road trip from Lawrence to the cider mill where you can sample cider and watch them bottle it, meander through the giant corn maze, then buy a jug of cider for the ride home. Take K-10 east to 69 south, then go east on K-68, and you're in cider heaven.

DID YOU KNOW.
SAVE THE SEEDS WHEN YOU YANK THOSE PUMPKIN GUTS FROM YOUR JACK-O'-LANTERN THIS YEAR.
Remove the pulp and rinse the seeds in a strainer. Toss them in some olive oil and seasonings (Cajun spices work great), spread them on a cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for about 40 minutes or until seeds are lightly browned.
In addition to being crunchy and delicious, pumpkin seeds contain protein, fiber, iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, calcium, potassium, zinc, selenium, folate, niacin and linolenic acid. Take a hay ride and pick your own pumpkins right out of the fields of Schaake's pumpkin patch, 1791 North 1500 Road (drive east on 15th Street out into the country, and you'll run right into it). Pumpkins are 30 cents a pound, says Sheila Lynch, Schaake's employee.

THE PAINFUL PEE
A urinary tract infection can make a visit to the bathroom your worst nightmare.
DY ENKO BENSON
You have to pee, and you have to pee now. Ten minutes later you have to pee again and this time, urine
stings and burns its way out. In a couple more hours it feels like you're pissing razor blades. When you turn to flush, the liquid in the bowl resembles tomato juice. Stacie Weninger has become quite familiar with these feelings.
The Wichita senior had about one urinary tract infection a week last year. She wouldn't wish the pain of one upon anyone, she says.
These pesky urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are most common among females, says Jean Schrader, physician at Family Medicine Associates, 4921 W. 18th St.Schrader sees two to three young

Symptoms include frequent,

Junior, had a recent UTI that wouldn't go away. The pain of the infection was the ultimate discomfort, she says. She tried different antibiotics until one finally worked for her she says.
Both men and women get infections when bacteria crawl into the urethra, but women are more prone to suffer from UTIs because their urethras are shorter, making
Dealing with UTIs can be painful; these tips on how to prevent and treat them can make your trips to the bathroom more enjoyable.
E. coli bacteria from the body commonly causes UTIs, Schrader says. Other times bacteria enter the bloodstream and travel downward into the bladder, Denning says. If you thought gastrointestinal problems were bad enough, you can also get infected after having diarrhea because of the thriving bacteria, Schrader says. If untreated, bacteria can sometimes travel into the kidneys, causing serious illness, including fever, backache, nausea and vomiting, Denning says.
How it happens
Relieve yourself
Make sure to make a pit stop. Women frequently get infections when they don't pass urine after sexual intercourse, Schrader says. You can also get a UTI when you don't urinate for long periods of time, which lets the urine

where medical laboratory personnel test your urine for bacteria. Physicians commonly prescribe an antibiotic that kills infection and has an anesthetic to numb the pain of urinating, Denning says.
Some women are more prone to urinary tract infections. Last year Weninger, Wichita senior, had about one each week. When women have recurrent infection related to sex, a prophylactic antibiotic can be taken around the time of intercourse. Denning says women who have four to six documented urinary tract infections each year may receive this treatment.

MY EX-BOYFRIEND AND I BROKE UP A WHILE AGO. WE STILL SEE EACH OTHER AROUND CAMPUS AND WE STILL TALK ON THE PHONE, BUT I DON'T SEE MYSELF HAVING A FUTURE WITH HIM, SO I DON'T WANT TO GET BACK TOGETHER. THE MORE WE TALK THE MORE EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED I GET. HOW SHOULD I HANDLE THIS? JENNY JUNIOR
JENNY, JUNIOR
Chris: I noticed that you left out two important details — whether you're still sleeping with your ex, and whether you're sleeping with somebody other than your ex. Since your boyfriend, sorry, EX-boyfriend, isn't freaking out and will still actually talk to you, I assume that you're still nailing him and that you're not nailing anybody else... yet. That, or he's already sleepening with somebody else, in which case you're the sucker for becoming more emotionally attached. Although I don't think that's the case. "I don't see myself having any sort of future with him" is obvious girl-speak for "I'm looking to upgrade." For
whatever reason, this guy isn't good enough for you, but it's easier foryou to keep him around until you find his replacement than to be honest with him and with yourself. Soon, you'll go on a date with some Tahoe-driving d-bag, and you'll tell your ex-boyfriend about Todd (who's such a nice guy, seriously) a few weeks later. He'll freak out, sink into depression, drink heavily and drop out of school, and you'll have a hot new boyfriend to show off to your friends! Problem solved.
Niloofar: Treat this like a drug addiction. While you don't want him anymore, it's really hard
to kick the habit. Going cold turkey isn't an option — in fact, it will lead to major withdrawal symptoms, not to mention it's just plain mean. So do what Dr. Phil says: Find a substitute behavior to replace the old one. In your case, that means find a substitute boy. Even if dating is the last thing you want to do right now, forcing yourself to go on a few casual dates will be good for you. And subtly letting your ex-boyfriend know — or better yet, "running into" him on campus while you're all over "Todd" (who probably IS a nice guy) — will get the message across that you're moving on, even if you're still friends after your break-up.
MY BOYFRIEND AND I WENT ON A HIKING TRIP AND HAD SEX IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS. SOMEHOW, I ENDED UP WITH A SPIDER BITE IN MY DOWNSTAIRS. IT ITCHES AND HURTS LIKE CRAZY AND OF COURSE I CAN'T SCRATCH IT IN PUBLIC. AND NOW I'M GETTING THIS WEIRD DISCHARGE FROM MY VAGINA, AND I'M SCARED TO GO TO MY DOCTOR BECAUSE I'M SO EMBARRASSED ABOUT HOW IT HAPPENED. WHAT SHOULD I DG?
JAMOCHA, SOPHOMORE
Chris: I'm just trying to imagine what this spider was thinking. If I found a moist, musty cave and there was a big pink snake that kept poking his head in there, and then the snake vomited all over, would I then decide to go wandering into the cave and see what the ground tastes like? I think not. That was one dumb, disgusting蜘蛛. Regardless, you really should see a doctor, and you really should be embarrassed. There's something about your vagina that attracted that spider. Does your boyfriend know about this? If so, does he care? I would. The discharge thing is pretty gross, and I'd be worried that there's more spiders in there. Maybe the spider laid eggs. For all you know, there's an entire family of poisonous arachnids just waiting for the next sucker to wander in there so they can
hitch a ride out. You could be the first woman to ever spread an STSB — Sexually Transmitted Spider Bite. They should make you wear a shirt that says "I have spiders in my vagina." Maybe you should shave your pubic hair into the shape of a spider. You can call your vagina "Jamocha's Web," and you can call your boyfriend's penis "Wilbur." You should dress up as a spider for Halloween, and your boyfriend can dress up as a vagina. You should go see your gyno and not tell her about the spider. Then when she sees it, yell "Trick or Treat!"
Niloofar: So the eensy weeny spider climbed up your water spout? That's what you get for having sex in the woods, Sweetheart. But don't take Chris' vaginal insults personally.In fact, I bet sex in the woods was your
horndog of a boyfriend's idea. Go to the gyno and don't worry about being embarrassed. You could always say you stopped in the woods to pee... but the truth is it was "the big pink snake" that started the trouble, and for that reason, he should come with you to the doctor's office for moral support. He should even help you apply your STSB cream. Or don't even tell your boyfriend about Charlotte — he'd probably freak out — even though it's his fault. Then, when his anaconda wants to enter the cave a second time, you can let all the spider babies in there bite him and then he'll know what it's like to have strange discharge, plus he'll be dysfunctional for a few weeks, which means you can plan another hiking trip with some actual hiking involved this time.

SNAPPING YOUR FINGERS AT A BARTENDER DOESN'T ENSURE SNAPPY SERVICE ON A BUSY NIGHT.
Most bartenders have a routine and start at one end of the bar and serve customers down the line. Says Danny Loental, bartender at the Sugdbar 17 E. Eighth St., and 2005 graduate.
What's another way to annoy a bartender? "Yelling an order across the bar is very uncoffee. You will get skipped," Loental says.
Wait your turn and toss a few extra dollars in the tip jar. Remember keeping your bartender happy will keep your drinks full.

Waterloo to Anywhere MUSIC by Dirty Pretty Things
Dirty Pretty Things may be an awful band name, but it's an apt description of the 11 tracks on Waterloo to Anywhere, the latest from former Libertines Carl Barat and Gary Powell. The album has the grimy feel of stale cigarettes and half-empty bottles of Carlsberg, fashionly disheveled and relentlessly catchy throughout.
Famously produced by Mick Jones of The Clash on their Libertines' debut, Up the Bracket, the boys continue to mine the sound of that touchstone band, all skinny power chords and mush-mouth vocals, wrapped up in tight, three-minutes-and-a-cloud-of-dust punk spasms.
Barat, no longer tethered to former band mate and British tabloid sensation Pete Doherty, harbors resentment on Waterloo to Anywhere. Doherty's well-documented affection for heroin, crack and Kate Moss prevented the Libertines from ever having much success stateside beyond the praise of critics, who loved the band's sloppy,
very pretty thing
London-punk sound. "You're a legend in your mind but a rumor in your room," Barat spits on "Bloodthirsty Bastards," no doubt aimed at his one-time mate.
Waterloo to Anywhere is the sound of a band purging its past, finding solace in the dirty, pretty things around them. Catharsis never sounded so good.

Lego Star Wars 2:
The Original Trilogy
XBOX 360/XBOX/PS2
What happens when you mix two classic elements of any 20-something's childhood? In the case of Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy the result is instant nostalgia. Travelers Tales has crafted a game that is true to the original trilogy but at the same time has enough series in-jokes and Lego-inspired goofiness to satisfy any member of The Official Star Wars Fan Club.
The game plays like standard adventure fare. You assume the role of Luke, Han, Chewie or other series favorites as you run, jump and shoot your way through every major scene from the classic trilogy. You'll rescue Princess Leia, bomb the Death Star, trip up AT-ATs on Hoth and even give the Emperor his due — all in full Lego glory and without a
single Jar Jar sighting.
Still, Lego Star Wars 2 is a kids' game and, like most games made for preteens, it's simple, repetitive and easy. It is also quick to beat (each episode can be finished in about an hour) and while completists will find plenty to do scouring the levels for mini kits, power blocks and other secrets, the less devout will find themselves quickly bored.
If you grew up watching A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, then Lego Star Wars 2 is at least worth a rent, if only for the Lego rendition of the infamous "Luke, I am your father" scene.

The Black Dahlia
MOVIE
After almost 100 years of producing feature films, Hollywood should be able to make a movie about itself.
Instead, The Black Dahlia is a celluloid knot of absurdity. Clearly, Hollywood has yet to master its own art. The Black Dahlia is almost two hours of pure, unadulterated nonsense: a murder that is hardly addressed, a buddy cop movie without humor, action or intrigue, a romance without any, well, anything.
Josh Hartnett stars as "Bucky" Bleichart who, along with his partner and friend Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) discover a gruesome murder behind the apartment complex of a young, untalented actress (Mia Kirshner). The murder then fades into the background for almost an hour of failed "character development" before
By this point, no one cares. They came to see a murder mystery and instead got a soap opera. Adding insult to injury, Hartnett has pathetic stage presence and stumbles through the movie. He doesn't solve the murder; the perpetrators gleefully unravel the whole mystery at the end. One would think evildoers know not to do that anymore.
a series of events tied by a very frayed string force Bucky back into the murder investigation.
There is brilliant cinematography and direction by Brian de Palma, but that isn't enough to save this steaming heap of film.

Man of the Year
MOVIE
1972
Man of the Year is one of the more perplexing movies at the box office lately. It can't decide what movie it wants to be, and a terribly misleading marketing campaign dooms the film.
On one hand, Barry Levinson has crafted a sharply biting political satire reminiscent of his former works (Wag the Dog). Criticizing the nature of what politicians say to the people and, to a larger extent, the election system (the presidential debate scene is truly brilliant) it is, in the beginning, a comedy, but the audience knows that serious information is being thrown its way.
Unfortunately, the comedy portion, which is the only part the previews mention, soon fades to a political thriller involving electronic voting machines and evil CEOs intent on sweeping fine details such as, say, a major voting glitch, under the rug so that its stock can continue to soar. One scene involving co-star Laura Linney is even filmed like a horror movie.
The marketing, which neglects to mention about half the movie, is unforgivable. In hindsight this tactic is obvious — the political
thriller portion can't stand on its own feet.
Unfortunately, this "political drama" starts turning the characters into one-dimensional figurines as the movie eventually becomes a boring presidential courtship without the paparazzi and then a boring chase without any action.
Thefilm,starringRobinWilliams
who sometimes transcends his role as the funnyman, tries to make a pointed attack on political targets before election day. As a comedy it might have struck Washington, but the conventional drama remains stuck to it like a hanging chad.

All the King's Men
MOVIE
THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PRESIDENT'S COLLEGE, 1935.
Based on the beloved novel, the drama All the King's Men displays wonderful! performances but is accompanied by a soggy and disengaging plot. The film follows the life of an ambitious Louisiana man, Willie Stark, as he climbs the ominous ranks of politics. Sean Penn gives an inspirational and commanding performance as the up-and-coming governor. His speeches are the film's highlights. Jude Law plays an unbiased journalist, Jack Berg, who later serves as Stark's investigator of his enemies. His simple and poignant narration describes the tarnishing of an idealistic every-man. In spite of Penn's powerful performance, Law's quiet witness steals the show. The always-solid Kate Winselt and sincere Mark Ruffalo fill out the cast as brother and sister to a former Southern governor.
The film disappoints somewhat as an energetic beginning quickly turns into a chain of dull political schemes. Its weakness is its inability to match
politician. Overall, this uneven but well-acted southern saga lacks that comforting southern charm.

STARVING FOR PERFECTION
A
Embracing my flaws gave me the strength to be myself by Carissa Pedigo
.
My library time in sixth grade was not spent like that of most of the girls in my class. I didn't bother duking it out for the latest Baby-sitter's Club and Goosebumps novels. Instead, I dashed straight to the magazine rack in the back to flip through issues of Seventeen Magazine. My mother didn't think a magazine named after its target audience was appropriate for me at 12, so the school library was the only way I could get my hands on a copy. It was the highlight of my week. Although most of the content didn't particularly pertain to me (I wasn't into make-up or boys yet), I was mesmerized by the glossy images. I would stare down at a flawless model in a photograph and think,"She must have everything she wants." I wanted to be this perfect girl.
In middle school I entered an awkward stage. This was not something Seventeen prepared me for.I thought my early teens would be a time of belly shirts and group dates like I had read about.The pudge around my middle deterred me from wearing the Britney Spears-inspired halter-tops that scandalously rose above the navel,and my extreme shyness wasn't necessarily attracting the boys in droves.I was constantly criticizing and comparing myself to other girls.I felt too fat,too tall,too boring.No one made comments to fuel these thoughts.It was like they were trapped in my mind,playing over and over,no matter how many times I heard how lucky I was to be tall,smart or have thick hair.None of that was good enough.I decided that the only way I could ever be satisfied with my appearance was to look like the girls I had worshipped in Seventeen Then I would be happy and have everything.
The first thing that had to go was any extra weight. To better my physique, I forced myself to try out for volleyball and soccer, although I had never had much interest in sports. Surprisingly I made the teams, but soon realized the other girls were a lot faster, thinner and looked better in their uniforms. To compete with the other girls, I tried several fad diets like eating only grapefruit or cutting out all my carbohydrates. I also mixed in a cocktail of diet pills to boost my energy. The pills worked for about a month, and I dropped about 10 pounds. But when my
body built up a tolerance to their effects, I had to take more and more just to keep going. My habit ended up costing more than $100 a month to maintain. This continued during high school until I became not only exhausted, but too broke to afford the pricey supplements. I eventually ditched the diets and pills and relied on sports to stay in shape.
The Freshman 15 was my biggest fear when starting college. Gaining any extra weight would mean I was a failure, and obviously had no self-control. After late night pizza binges and cafeteria food, however, change was inevitable. My jeans became tighter, and my once trendy wardrobe gave way to sweat pants and oversized hoodies. When swimsuit season arrived, my extra weight had no place to hide. I still coveted the bodies of the super-skinny models and looked at the emaciated cover shots of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan for inspiration. While the headlines of rumored eating disorders criticized their abnormally low weight, I enjoyed it.
My obsession with my weight began to take over my life. I rarely ate, and what I did eat didn't stay down for long. I could not go out to eat without visiting the bathroom several times to eliminate the extreme feeling of guilt for letting myself give into food. I could not go through the day without weighing myself after every glass of water or treadmill run. I quickly lost the Freshman 15, but my family became concerned and my friends distant. I didn't want to go home or eat around other people because I was afraid they might find out my secret. It became harder to hide. I never ate
a meal without spending at least 15 minutes in the bathroom afterward, and even gum and mints didn't disguise the smell.
A few friends began to notice my strange behavior, and
the scale reveal that I was finally succeeding. I was almost skinny.
made comments that I looked too thin. I dismissed their concern, and became convinced that they were lying out of jealousy that I was finally thinner than them. Looking attractive to other people didn't matter anymore. I felt an emptiness inside that could only be filled by the euphoria of watching
I realize now that I was more than skinny. I was sick. My weight kept dropping, but I was never completely satisfied with the way I looked. I kept thinking, "I'm almost perfect. I'll be happy
ABUSING MY BODY AND MY SELF-ESTEEM WAS NOT JUST AFFECTING ME; IT WAS HURTING THE PEOPLE WHOSE OPINIONS SHOULD HAVE MEANT THE MOST.
after five more pounds." Happy never came.
I checked the scale at least 50 times a day, and in about three months nearly 30 pounds had dissolved off my 5 foot 9 frame, which stuck to an
unhealthy-looking 120 pounds.
My hair began to fall out, my teeth began to ache and my throat burned, but somehow I felt numb to it all. I didn't think about how I was hurting myself, or how it was hurting the people who cared about me. I constantly put down my looks and picked apart my body in front of my
friends. My roommate and best friend finally had enough of it and broke down crying.She said,"Why are you doing this to yourself? You are just fine,Carissa. You are perfect."For the first time I felt ashamed for being so critical of myself.Abusing my body and my self-esteem was not just affecting me; it was hurting the people whose opinions should have meant the most.I didn't have to be skinny to be any happier.I just needed to trust that people loved me for being myself.
it has been two years since I have struggled with my eating disorder. Finding the strength to stop was not easy. I opened up to my friends and family about my obsessions with food and weight. They tried their best to understand, and helped me ditch the scales and diets by encouraging me to get back into healthier activities like sports to stay thin. I also learned to listen when they told me there was nothing wrong with the way I
ILLUSTRATION/CATHERINE COQUILLETTE looked and that there is no such thing as perfection.
I was lucky that I could beat this with the help of friends and family alone, but that isn't always the case. According to Anorexia Nervosa and Related Eating Disorders, Inc., 4 percent of college-aged women suffer from bulimia nervosa, while about 1 percent of female adolescents are suffering from anorexia. Without treatment, up to 20 percent of people with serious eating disorders die. With treatment, it is less than 2 to 3 percent.
I can still pick out all the imperfections on my body, but I've accepted that changing them is an impossible goal. Finding confidence and self-worth within myself came a lot easier once I stopped wanting to be someone else. Now whenever I begin to feel down on myself I ask myself,"Who do I need to be perfect for?" Everyone who matters to me loves me just the way I am, imperfections and all.

BOARD OF REGENTS
Plan for fixed tuition approved
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
TOPEKA — Incoming University of Kansas freshmen are a step closer to having a fixed tuition rate for their first four years of college. The plan could go into effect as early as next fall.
The Kansas Board of Regents voted unanimously to approve the idea of guaranteed tuition Thursday. The board did not take any action toward determining the specific rate of increase or other details of the plan. Those questions will be
addressed when the board convenes in May to approve, deny or delay the University's official proposal.
The guaranteed tuition would be based on projections of inflation over the next four years, Provost Richard Lariviere said.
The plan, which was originally proposed in Spring 2004, would give incoming freshman a base tuition cost for a four-year period. The first two years would be more expensive than non-guaranteed tuition and the final two years would be cheaper so it would balance out among students
who weren't incoming freshmen.
"This was a response to a specific student request," Lariviere said. "We do our damnedest to honor those requests."
Students that do not complete their degrees within four years would have to pay a rate of tuition that wouldn't be guaranteed past the fourth year.
Ian Staples, Student Senate legislative director, said the plan provided students and their parents with a level of predictability that they didn't have with non-guaranteed tuition.
Staples also said the plan provides "an incredible incentive" to graduate in four years.
Lariviere said the University would also like to guarantee fees and housing, but it wasn't ready to do that quite yet. The University would like to have those numbers by May, he said.
Lariviere added that differential tuition couldn't be guaranteed
because a fixed rate would defeat the purpose of meeting the individual financial requirements of each professional school.
Members of the Board of Regents were concerned that the four-year window would put excess pressure on students to graduate and could prevent them from studying abroad or working while they went to school.
The board questioned the current 26 percent four-year graduation rate at the University, but Lariviere said that was a common problem
among public institutions of higher education.
He also said that students that studied abroad, worked less than 20 hours a week and took 15 credit hours a semester graduated in four years more often than students who didn't.

Honea said the Federal Transit Authority needed to approve the institute's request because it owned the new technology. He said of the approximately $350,000 collected for the project, $150,000 came from the institute and another $200,000 came from the Advanced Transportation Technologies Institute.

The apartment's residents, Cori Nerhbass and her two sons, were not at home when the fire occurred.
The fire originated from apartment No. 4. Firefighters were on the scene within 15 minutes of the call. They extinguished the blaze before anyone was seriously injured. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical chief Mark Bradford said one woman was treated for smoke inhalation.
Bradford said that there was some damage to the apartment. There was also moderate water damage to the unit below it and some smoke and heat damage to four nearby units.
The fire department was still investigating as of press time. Officials estimated the investigation would be finished sometime today.
Virgie K. Farmer, of Lawrence, called emergency personnel. She did not live at SouthPointe, but was helping her friend move across the hall from apartment No. 4 when she heard the alarm going off. She opened the door and saw the smoke, she said. Farmer said she dashed back into her friend's apartment to call 911 before trying to aid any residents she thought might be across the hall.
"I tried to kick the damn door down," Farmer said. "But I couldn't get it."
Farmer screamed for help and eventually the fire department showed up.
Residents were allowed back into the building around 5:30 p.m.

BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Jodi Carlson wants the University of Kansas to know that breast cancer is a real possibility for students.
Whether it is early detection or the treatment of existing cancer, Carlson, the clinical coordinator in the cancer research department and the breast center at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said that breast cancer can affect both men and women at young ages.
"We've had patients here as young as 24 who have been diagnosed with breast cancer," Carlson said. "College-aged women really need to know what to look for at this age. If the cancer is caught early enough there is almost a 98 percent chance that patients will live past five years after detection. If it's caught later, the survival rate is almost 26 percent."
Carlson and the hospital joined forces with the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, Watkins Memorial Health Center, the KU Panhellenic Association and Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority to promote breast cancer awareness week at the University in observance of
breast cancer awareness month.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the ETWC, said this week was the first time that KU and community groups have set aside a whole week of activities and programs at the University.
The week attention to the cancer and promote health and early detection. Though Carlson said that more than 213,000 women and 1,700 men would be diagnosed with the cancer this year, it still remains

to raise awareness and provide support to finding a cure"
The hospital, the ETWC and Watkins used interactive resource tables throughout the week to educate on campus students and staff with information on how to do self-breast exams and on the importance of mammograms. They also held a panel of breast cancer
survivors Monday.
To end the week, the University will hold the first Jayhawk 5k run/walk for breast cancer. Mallory Curry, women's programming appointed officer for Panhellenic and Overland Park sophomore, helped to plan the event. Curry said the $2 entrance fee would go directly to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which researches breast cancer causes and works to find a cure.
When the week is over, organizers said they hoped that the community would continue to remember the cancer and work to create healthier lifestyles to prevent it.
The Jayhawk 5k run/walk will start at 4 p.m. at the Burge Union on Sunday and is open to the public.

Opponent refutes Sebelius' ad TV commercials thank governor for improved economy
STATE
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Renewing their debate over Kansas' economic strength, Republican challenger Jim Barnett is questioning the accuracy of Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebellus' latest TV ad.
Hill Institute, ranking Kansas 13th among states in economic competitiveness.
The 30-second spot, called "Work," is reminiscent of the "Morning in America" campaign President Reagan used to win a landslide re-election in 1984. It began airing in Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita this week.
But Barnett questioned Thursday whether Sebelius deserved credit for the California institute's praise of Kansas because most of the statistics it used predated Sebelius taking office in January 2003. While the Beacon Hill report rated Kansas highly, he said a new Forbes magazine study ranked Kansas 48th for its economic climate.
It features early-morning vignettes of Kansans getting ready for the day, suggesting Sebelius is up early each day "determined to keep Kansas moving forward."
The ad cites two studies, one in 2004 by the Pacific Research Institute, of San Francisco, labeling Kansas first in "economic freedom," and another from the Boston's Beacon
His criticism came the same day the Cato Institute in Washington gave Sebelius a "D" in fiscal policy.
The governor should spend more time dealing with the reality of Kansas paychecks instead of reports from Massachusetts and San Francisco think tanks," said Barnett spokesman Rodger Woods.
Sebelius and Barnett, a state senator from Emporia, have clashed repeatedly over the economy. She has stressed that an improved economy is a reason for voters to re-elect her, while Barnett argues the economy isn't as strong as she portrays it.
As for the Cato Institute report, the libertarian think tank gave only one governor an "A," Missouri Republican Matt Blunt.

Police stop random SUV after iudo class exercise
LIMA, Ohio — Police responding to a caller who mistook a judo class exercise for a hostage situation pulled over an SUV and drew their weapons on the driver and her family.
The caller saw someone wearing a mask and carrying what appeared to be a weapon enter a class inside a YMCA and then order everyone to lie down on the floor, police Maj. James Thorburn said Wednesday.
The caller told police the gunman fled in a sport utility vehicle with the same description and license plate number as one driven by Petrona Ashman as she left her job at the YMCA on Oct. 11.
Police pulled the SUV over about a block from the YMCA. Ashman, 33, was in the vehicle
with her three young children, her fiance and a family friend.
They were ordered out of the vehicle at gunpoint and some police officers used profanity, Ashman said.
Thorburn said he does not know why the caller thought the gunman got in the vehicle.
Ashman has filed a complaint with the police. The department will investigate, but Thorburn said the officers followed standard procedures in stopping someone suspected of a felony.
Parking spot diners receive citation for blocking road
CHARLESTON, S.C. — The diners fed the parking meter in Charleston's historic district, then set up a table in the parking spot and ate pizza and drank nonalcoholic beer.
An hour later, a city police officer broke up the party, writing organizer Vince Graham a ticket for "obstructing public ways;" something Graham hopes will lead to "the trial of the century" and more outdoor dining in Charleston.
The group last week borrowed tables from one restaurant and ordered pizza from another. About two dozen people stopped by and a few police officers passed before one wrote the ticket.
"I feel I should have at least as much right as the automobile to use the street," Graham said.
The event was similar to those on the West Coast last month in which people in San Francisco, Berkeley, Calif., and other cities took over parking spaces and used them for temporary parks.
Unidentified airplane bolt crashes through roof
CANBERRA, Australia — When a bolt from an airliner crashed through Angelo Marigotta's roof, it sounded like a bomb exploding, according to a news report.
Graham said he was inspired by Rome, Italy, where restaurants set up tables in parallel parking spaces.
Police spokesman Charles Francis would not comment Tuesday on why the ticket was written. He said the officer who wrote it is on leave until later this month.
Margiotta said the stainless steel bolt, which appeared to be about 6 inches long, struck his roof in the Sydney suburb of Five Dock on Wednesday morning, Ten Network television news reported.
Australia's aviation watchdog, Civil Aviation Safety Authority, was attempting to track down the plane that lost the bolt.
Margiotta called the fire brigade and a firefighter found the bolt, which had smashed two roof tiles and lodged in the ceiling.
The bolt most likely came from a Boeing 747 or 767. Sydney Airport officials said no aircraft had reported mechanical problems.

WORLD TRADE CENTER More human remains discovered at Ground Zero
NEW YORK — Human remains from the World Trade Center site have been found by utility workers, a city official said Thursday.
Consolidated Edison workers found remains at the downtown Manhattan site, took them to a natural gas vehicle fueling station more than a mile to the north and then called the medical examiner's office to have them identified, office spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said.
A University employee reported criminal damage to a KU vehicle that occurred sometime between Oct. 16 and Oct. 17. The vehicle's window had been cracked, and the total damage was estimated at $400.
The area was roped off Thursday, and investigators were sifting through dirt under a white tarp.
"The remains came from down there," Borakove said, referring to the trade center site. "How they got to 29th Street and 11th Avenue, I don't know."
KU Public Safety officers cited an 18-year-old KU student, for possessing drugs and drug paraphernalia on Oct. 17.
A University employee reported being repeatedly harassed by phone by a woman who claims to be a former student. The woman swore at the employee and told her that she had been sexually assaulted as a student between 1977 and 1982. The most recent calls have gotten extremely angry, and came from a New York city area code.
Five years after 2,749 people died in the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attacks, families of about 1,150 victims still do not know whether their loved ones' remains were recovered.
During the excavation of the towers, which began the evening of the attacks and lasted for nine months, about 20,000 pieces of human remains were found. The DNA in thousands of those pieces, many small enough to slip into a test tube, was too damaged by heat, humidity and time to yield matches in the many tests forensic scientists have tried over the years.

Budget changes or more taxes?
State house candidates voice different opinions from higher education to economy
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Part of southeast Lawrence is covered by District 38, which is represented by Anthony R. Brown. He is faced by Republican challenger Diane Bryant.
Brown served in the United States Marine Corps for six years. He taught social studies and at-risk children from 1993 to 1997. He currently works as a carpenter.
Bryant retired from the Olathe School District where she worked as a library media specialist for 31 years. She also taught fourth grade.
Higher Education
Brown: There has been kind of a downturn in funding here lately because I think the emphasis has been on K-12. We had a supreme court ruling hanging over our heads with the ruling.
in Kansas, we have a $12 billion budget. K-12 education got nearly seven billion of that $12 billion. So highways, prisons, state employees and Medicina all come out of the last five billion dollars. So there's always competition for the dollars. Kansas has a stagnant or now a declining population because our population is getting older so they are about to retire, increasing taxes exponentially on the working people.
Bryant: Tuition is too high. I'd like to see our state contribute more. That probably means bringing in more taxes. We have to keep tuition where we can get everyone to go to college. We want educated people in our society.
Deferred Maintenance
Brown: I know we have repairs to do at the university level. I know KU needs drastic improvement. All the universities have a level of maintenance we need to maintain. In 2001, the economy in Kansas was bad and what the state did was borrow against the future. Some of those bills are now coming due. Because of the downturn in the economy, we're standing on a better foundation now in K-12 education so we can turn over more money and address issues for higher education. I think we're going to correct that problem this year. We're going to increase installments to take care of the most needed repairs as they see fit. It's hard from the state legislator's point to know exactly what Pittsburg State needs versus KU or vice versa. Wed like to turn over that authority to the regents.
Of all jobs in America, only 20 percent of the jobs require a bachelor's degree or higher. Eighty percent don't require a full four-year degree. I think the emphasis is on post-secondary education. We need to do more with technical education and vocational as well.
Bryant: Unfortunately it is deferred and wasn't kept up with all along. I'm in favor of maintaining our colleges. It requires some sources of revenue like maybe gambling or expansion of the K-10 corridor. I'd like to see that K-10 corridor area developed to bring in more tax revenues.
Environment Brown: I'm real energized about
alternative fuel sources. That's one of my big three platforms. I'd like to see us burn more green fuels. I am in favor and have voted in the past and will continue to vote for any legitimate legislation that uses ethanol, sov diesel and biodiesel.
Kansas is trying to be an all-inclusive, very environmentally friendly, high-employment center.
Bryant: I'm concerned with global warming. One way to cut back on that is to cut back on fossil fuels. I'll work as hard as I can to develop wind, geo-thermal and solar energy. I encourage people to use energy-efficient light bulbs and have homes with better insulation. All those things add up. I think we should be a leader. I'd like to see our country sign the Kyoto agreement, and we haven't done that.
Health care
Brown: I think not only as a state but as a country, we need to stop talking about health care and start talking about health. We are not doing enough to make people aware of their health. It's much less expensive to take care of a person before they get sick than an unhealthy person. It's important to maintain a healthy America. I have seen studies that say one-third of children 14 and under are obese. And of those, 20 percent will contract adult diabetes. That is a huge number. We have not seen a health care crisis until 20 percent of our adult population is diabetic. That will drive health care cost through the roof. We have to start talking about health and prevention before we start talking about
health care.
Bryant: We need to have affordable health care for everyone. Massachusetts did it. It may be a good idea. It is making some insurance cheaper that way because everyone has to buy in. We can't drive a car without insurance; why do we let people run around without health insurance?
Economy
Brown: In Kansas, one in five jobs are in government. Government spending since 1997 has more than doubled wages in Kansas. We have to get control of state spending. We cannot continue to drive employment up in government and down in the private sector. It does not work out that way. You have less and less people paying taxes and more and more people making money off our taxes. We cannot continue to do that.
In my opinion, alternative energy in Kansas will be the largest employer in the next generation.
Bryant: The K-10 corridor, an area for biosciences, is a good opportunity for people with good paying jobs. They are looking for science backgrounds, but they need all kinds of fields to be open to them like accountants.
As a state candidate, I'd like to see the economy always growing.

Downtown area to exhibit art
Red balloons to be used as tickets, markers for business venues, homes
BY DARLA SLIPKE
People attending the event will carry a red balloon and visit various venues, also marked with red balloons, in a two-mile radius around downtown where art will be on display.
About a thousand red balloons will speckle downtown Saturday during the Red Balloon To Do an annual celebration of local artwork.
Dominic Soba, who has helped coordinate the event every year, said he considered the balloons a performance piece in itself.
The event was started four years ago by a group
"Even if you make a doodle in class, we'll show it."
and simple, and they caused people to notice what was going on.
Since then, the event has grown from being a bunch of kids hanging out to an all-encompassing community event that children, adults, grandparents and teens all attend, said Chelsea Rae, an event coordinator. She said the event connected people from all across town who might otherwise have nothing else in common.

of artists that included many University of Kansas students who wanted to have a place to show their artwork. Soba had just graduated from the University and said that there weren't many opportunities for students to show their work aside from coffee shops.
Soba said when they had a couple of successful shows at private residences, they realized that they could make it work and began to expand on the idea. Several local businesses donated their space and services. Soba said all they were lacking at that point was something to tie everything together. They decided to use red balloons as a ticket because they were cheap, fun
The event displays all types of art, Rae said.
"If even you make a doodle in class, we'll show it," she said.
This year, art will be on display at three business venues - Mirth
Café, 745 New Hampshire St. Olive Gallery and Art Supply Store, 15 E. Eighth St., and Wild Man Vintage, 939 Massachusetts St. — and in two private residences — a loft located at 15 W. Ninth St. and a house at 913 Rhode Island. About 65 local artists are showing their work between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.
People can start at any of the venues. A $1 donation is asked for the balloon and a program and map of the event.

CBS Radio settles pay-for-play dispute
Company owes $2 million for giving stations gifts in exchange for air time
BY MICHAEL GORMLEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBANY, N.Y. — CBS Radio Inc. has agreed to pay $2 million to settle New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's investigation into gifts or "payola" paid by record companies for air play, Snitzer said Thursday.
CBS Radio is the third-largest radio corporation in the nation and the latest to settle in the investigation of radio station employees getting gifts such as trips and electronic equipment in exchange for playing songs and artists to increase sales. The gifts were often used for on-air contests and sometimes used by radio station employees, SonyBMG, Warner, Universal and EMI had previously settled with Spitzer.
"The sale of the stations valuable air time to the highest bid"
der violates state and federal laws and robs consumers of their right to know why the songs they hear on the radio are being broadcast," Spitzer said.
Spitzer said pay for play was being done at CBS radio stations in Rochester, Buffalo and New York City.
He said a July 17, 2001, memo at WZNE in Rochester to the general manager and program directed listed "what we've added ... & a summary of our returns from the record labels"
Spitzer said songs that were on the station's playlists because of the practice include "Shut Up" by Nick Lachey and "You are my #1" by Smashmouth. In exchange for airplay, the stations received airplane trips to be used in contests.
"CBS Radio is pleased to end
this two-year music investigation without litigation," said CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Matee. "The company, however, wants to make clear that in entering into this settlement, CBS Radio does not admit to any liability or violation of law."
She said CBS Radio had become aware of the practice and two employees violated the company's policies.
"Appropriate disciplinary action was taken by CBS Radio, with suspension without pay in one instance, and immediate termination in the other," she said. "We believe this outcome is better for our company and our shareholders than protracted litigation, and we appreciate the spirit of mutual cooperation that guided the resolution of this settlement."
"I commend Attorney General
Eliot Spitzer for once again achieving a breakthrough with this settlement. CBS Radio is leading the radio broadcasting industry by finally admitting wrongdoing and agreeing to change its practices. This should provide new fuel to drive the FCC payola investigation to completion. Since payola saps the vitality out of radio, this is a win not only for listeners everywhere, but also for the radio industry itself."
Other radio conglomerates paid more to settle their suits, including $12 million paid by Universal and $10 million by Sony.
Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein of the Federal Communications Commission called the settlement a "breakthrough."

Actor given probation for drunken driving
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Calif. - Haley Joel Osment pleaded no contest Thursday to misdemeanor drunken driving and drug possession charges resulting from a July accident in which he crashed his car into a mailbox.
Haley Joel Osment pleaded no contest Thursday to misdemeanor drunken driving and drug possession charges resulting from a July accident in which he crashed his car into a mailbox.
Authorities said the actor's blood alcohol level was measured after the accident at.16 percent, twice the legal limit.
Superior Court judge John Doyle sentenced the 18-year-old actor to three years probation and ordered Osment to spend 60 hours in an alcohol rehabilitation and education program, as well as attend at least 26 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings over a six-month period.
LE
in La Canada Flintridge on July 20.
No one else was in the car, which hit a mailbox mounted on a brick base.
Osment, who didn't attend the court hearing, also must pay $1,500 in fines.
The actor's attorney, David Wood, entered the no contest pleas on his client's behalf to one count each of misdemeanor driving under the influence and misdemeanor marijuana possession. Two other charges — another misdemeanor DUI and a vehicle code infraction — were dropped by prosecutors.
Osment's movie credits include "The Sixth Sense," in which he was nominated for an Academy Award, and "Pay It Forward." He recently finished work on the film "Home of the Giants."
Osment fractured a rib and injured his shoulder when he crashed and flipped his 1995 Saturn
Messages left for Wood and Osment's publicist were not immediately returned Thursday.

fessor of engineering, will be in charge of the research project if the proposal is approved by the federal government.
Lane already has experience on a project in Kansas City similar to the proposed campus project.
One plug-in electric bus is in service in the Kansas City area. This bus has a battery power source and a diesel engine. The diesel engine supplements the battery power when the charge is low. The bus must be plugged in for the battery to recharge.
"When you're walking by, you won't be blasted with a nice plume of diesel smoke," tabakh said.
The bus is wired with a computer that collects data on what amount of energy the bus was using; either pure electric power, pure diesel power or a combination of both.
Lane said battery technology was limited in its ability. He said an automobile running on pure electric power would allow the driver only about 70 miles of travel ability, based on the type of driving. He said the time when someone could drive to western Kansas in an electric car without recharging was far in the future. The data collected from the proposed campus bus would help engineers to develop better, longer-lasting batteries.
Ilya Tabakh, Leaward graduate student, works at the Transportation Research Institute and said he thought an electric bus would be a good idea for campus because it didn't emit any kind of air pollution.
"If you want to have a long-range successful, pure electric vehicle, then battery technology is where it's at," Lane said.
Lane said that with the data collected, engineers could develop estimates for pollution reduction if the system was implemented on a large scale. He said the proposed campus bus would collect much of the same data as the one operating in Kansas City.

Why pay Mangino to lose?
KU football coach Mark Mangino recently signed a new five-year contract that vaulted him into the upper echelon of Big 12 salaries. This new $1.5 million contract, which contains a base salary of just $220,000 a year, is laden with $650,000 in bonus incentives.
Mangino, who entered the contract with a KU record of 1929, has gone on to oversee three victories over mediocre teams and four disappointing losses to three very beatable opponents. Is this what the University had in mind when it drew up the new contract?
On Jan. 25, aging baseball star Frank Thomas signed a one-year contract with the Oakland Athletics for $500,000. However, Thomas will receive a total of $2.6 million for his excellent and unexpected work in Oakland this season.
How is this possible? The Athletics loaded the contract of the notoriously frail Thomas with performance incentives and qualifying benchmarks, the newest and most popular element of athletics contracts. These incentives allow a franchise to take a risk on a player while encouraging a higher performance level from an athlete.
But incentives are not limited to the sports realm. Hedge funds, the marquee superstars of the financial world, also operate on incentives. Hedge fund managers typically take the entire return on their equity stake, along with a percentage of the returns for
the fund's other investors. This system, which links the manager's income directly to his performance, is an ideal market incentive to increase both effort and performance.
There are also a number of corporate executives who draw a minimal salary, thus making them dependent upon their stock options for income earnings and forcing them to generate income for themselves and for investors.
It is accepted that increased competition in college and professional sports means paying larger amounts to attract and retain coaches and talent, but Mangino's performance under the new contract is unacceptable.
Market incentives in contracts should work both ways. If Mangino can earn an extra $650,000 by hitting certain performance benchmarks, perhaps the University should be able to reduce his salary for certain failures, such as consistently losing conference road games.

In 2003, Bob Knight returned his base salary to Texas Tech University because he disappointed himself, an outright admission of failure and a unique display of honor. The University wants to see Mangino's football program succeed, but does not want to overpay for underachievement. It's time for Mangino to win, or to take a page from Bob Knight and return his salary.

Let's build a community of gender equality
COMMENTARY
The word community is thrown around so frequently that it has lost its power and meaning. Being part of a community can mean resources, friendship, mutual action, legitimacy and, most importantly, support.
For those KU students who are aware of the gender equality problem, it is time to reclaim the word, along with its implications, and use its power to our advantage. There are some simple steps we can take to build a strong community of students who work toward gender equality. With a focused effort toward communication and participation we can work to make our campus and our city a better place for everyone.
Generally speaking, a community is a unified group of individuals. In this case we are talking about a community of people unified by the idea of gender equality. But what exactly does the vague, often overused phrase "gender equality" mean?
In a nut shell, it means that the expectations for behavior, success and participation are the same for both genders. It means when two interns show up for a new job, the boss doesn't automatically send the woman to make coffee and the man

to lift boxes. Each is capable of both tasks. And in a world where gender parity has been reached, the decision of who lifts the boxes and who makes the coffee would be based on other factors, such as motivation, convenience and skill.
Now that we have the unifying idea of our community — gender equality — it is time to talk about the structure of our new community. It will not be similar to a club, with regular meetings and officers, but more of a way to link different interests all working toward the same goal.
But in order to be an effective community, we must communicate with all the different interests (clubs, organizations, individuals, classes, causes, problems, activities) and not only communicate, we must coordinate. We must let social progress groups such as Delta Force know about activities and actions being taken by other groups, such as The Commission on the Status
of Women and so on. We all must work together.
The greatest resource we have as students looking to promote gender equality and build a community of support at the University of Kansas is the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, on the 4th floor of the Kansas Union. The mission of the center is to "enhance the academic success and personal growth of women students and support women and men working together to end gender inequity so all students may achieve their full potential." This resource can be used to connect and participate in the movement toward gender equality.
Everyone benefits from gender equality, and by building a community, a network, a coalition of students working toward this common goal, we can make our community a better place. So next time you find yourself in a position fighting for gender equality, look around campus and include other groups that you would not have even thought of before in your activities. Communicate your way to a better society and a stronger community.

COMMENTARY
Don't listen to candidates' lies when you decide who gets your vote
Did you hear? Paul Morrison, candidate for Kansas attorney general, released thousands upon thousands of violent criminals from Kansas prisons so they could roam the streets and abduct our children. That's what Phill Kline, the current attorney general who's running for re-election, says.
It's true: Morrison, though he has been the top law enforcement official in Johnson County since 1989, doesn't care about enforcing the law. He loves convicted felons. They're his favorite people. He has weekly poker nights with them.
OK, so perhaps Kline has not gone quite that far in his accusations against his opponent Morrison. But he's made some claims that are pretty dubious.
If elected, Morrison has a secret plan to burn down all prisons in the state and let every felon run free. Then he plans to appoint the BTK killer as his top assistant.
For instance, according to The Kansas City Star, Kline said, Morrison reducing the
Kline is referring to Senate Bill 323, a measure passed six years ago that Morrison supported. The Star article, however, reported that the bill did not reduce the sentences of anyone behind bars. It limited the amount of time that criminals were supervised after their release from prison.
sentences of thousands of convicted felons." This accusation is misleading at best, and absolutely false at worst.
According to the Star, however, the release of this man was due to a clerical error by the state corrections department. Officials from the department said the error had nothing to do with Senate Bill 323.
Kline also has suggested that the bill released a man from prison who went on to murder five people in Wichita.
Kline has spent his campaign time trying to spread an image of murders fleeing through open cell doors, ready to wreak havoc on innocent citizens. But here in the world of reality, voters must wonder
DANIEL LAMARQUE

But Kline is just a part of a campaign culture that looks more to point fingers and make questionable claims than to articulate positions on the issues. It's a culture that views the past as a lump of clay that can be molded to fit a candidate's best interests and views the future as a trifling matter that does not need to be addressed until later.
what Kline's policies even are.
This truth-molding culture afflicts members of both major parties. Kline, a republican, is hardly the only candidate to warp the facts in this election.
The campaign of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a democrat running for re-election, has aired a couple of questionable ads that exaggerate
sebelius' role in producing a new school funding plan for the state
One ad (available on YouTube), which features Sebelius driving a school bus full of elementary-age children who are remarkably well-informed about the workings of state government, seems to suggest that Sebelius single-handedly convinced the state legislature to adopt a new school funding plan. One little girl in the ad says Sebelius "made them strengthen our schools."
This discounts one minor detail: The Kansas Supreme Court forced the Legislature to create a new funding plan by declaring the old one unconstitutional.
The Court's ruling was a far bigger factor in the creation of the new funding plan than anything Sebelius could have done. Sebelius' ads, though, suggest that she was the main driving force.
At least Sebelius isn't throwing phony dirt on her opponent as Kline is, but her education ads still mislead.
the goal of most political campaigns today: to mislead. They try to find the best way to convince voters that Candidate A will save the entire world while Candidate B will drop murderers off on the front porch of your child's elementary school
I hope most people realize that politics can never come down to such extremes. If only the candidates and their campaigns could come to this realization.
Read newspapers and news Web sites to see where candidates stand on the issues. Look up the candidates' records online to see what they've done in the past.
You can even listen to your Uncle Larry's armring armchair rants.
Just don't get your election information from the least credible sources of all: the candidates themselves.

It's too easy to forget that life is continuous, that Wescoe Beach and the Crossing and parties are all part of the same life as awkward visits home and parents and summer jobs. And old friends. Too many students, especially freshmen, lose sight of that. I did for a little while, and it took Three Happiness to make me realize the truth.
Things like saying the same thing at the same time. Like glances that last a fraction of a second but mean "that dude talking to the train was really weird and he only looked about 19."

Without the reality check of friends, it would be all too easy to get caught up in looking obsessively for the same feeling of belonging in what is enthusiastically called "the college experience." I'm sure I missed some great parties last weekend, but I don't really care. Some things are more important.
I didn't stay in Lawrence during fall break. I went to Chicago to spend the time with my girlfriend and my best friend. Sitting in a Chinese restaurant called Three Happiness, I finally stopped trying to figure out what it meant to be "in college now." It was funny. Chicago felt more like home than home in Kansas City or home in Lawrence.

It didn't take long to realize that I didn't actually want a fresh slate. It's not some new life, and I'm not a new person. I'm the same person I was two months ago. I like having people around who know me, and no one can go through their daily life without someone around who cares about them. I like having people around who think of me as who I was last year and the year before and not just as I am now.
We didn't sit around and "catch up" or talk about how our different school were. We just sat around and were friends. In the madness of senior year, it was really easy to talk about going out of state as if it were some magic key to a better "college experience." I didn't go out of state. My house is thirty-five miles from my dorm, close enough that I can ride my bike home. They did, but that didn't change anything. We are close, and we will be close.

Grey's Anatomy star: I'm gay Actor wants to be known by more than just his sexuality
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — "Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight says he's gay, but hopes people don't consider that "the most interesting part of me."
The 33-year-old actor addressed rumors of his sexuality in a statement to People magazine Thursday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I'd like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there," Knight's statement read. "While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me."
Knight plays Dr. George O'Malley on the popular ABC drama. A former stage actor, his television credits also include "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."
Knight's "Grey's Anatomy" character, a bumbling, puppy-eyed surgeon, has long been in love with Dr. Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo.
This 2005 publicity photo, released by ABC, shows actor T.R. Knight, as Dr George O Malley in an episode of the network's hit medical series "Grey's Anatomy." The "Grey's Anatomy" star says he's gay, but hopes people don't consider that "the most interesting part of me." The 33-year-old actor addressed rumors of his sexuality in a statement to People magazine on Thursday.

Nancy Boyda campaigns for Rep. Jim Rynn's congressional seat in Baldwin City on Oct. 11.
Small-town campaigning happens over morning coffee
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY JOHN MILBURN ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATCHISON — Waiting for her first appointment of the day to arrive, Diane McDermed shared a cup of coffee and political views in her shop. A Cut Above.
She gushed about Democratic women, including Nancy Boyda, who she believes has a good chance of upsetting Republican Congressman Jim Ryn Nov. 7, in their rematch for the 2nd District Congressional seat. McDermed said Boyda is a strong woman fit for office.
"Most of all, I'm tired of Mr. Ryun," McDermed said. "I don't think he's done much."
MARTIN LEE
Democrats nationwide are counting on voters like 53-year-old McDermed, whose husband is the Atchison fire chief, to send Republicans packing this fall. Boyda has campaigned on the slogan "Had enough?" and her signs are everywhere in the district.
Democratic strategist James Carville said recent polling data suggests the party could make gains in Congress beyond winning a majority. He's said he's ready to take out loans to put money in places where Republicans are vulnerable.
About two out of three of those voters said they would pick a Democrat.
Voters nationally have said the House page scandal that forced the resignation of Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., will play a role in their decisions. An Associated Press-Ipsos poll taken shortly after the scandal broke found that about half of voters said corruption and scandal would be important to how they vote.
While Democrats have targeted 50 seats held by Republicans, Carville said that field may warrant expansion, "perhaps to places that
"We have to make them protect every seat today that they thought was safe a couple of weeks ago," Carville said, including Ryun's. "I haven't seen anything like this in my time in politics."
McDermed said one reason she supports Boyda is because federal regulations prevent her elderly father, who requires care to stay in his home. from getting help to weatherize his home.
we don't even know the name of"
"I'm not putting him in a nursing home. I will die first," McDermed said. "I think Washington, including President Bush, has forgotten the little people."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Across the street at the Reynolds Drug Store, a coffee klatch of local curmudgeons gathered for their daily confab.
Roger Caudle, 66, a builder, said there was a Boyd sign in front of one of his commercial properties.
"But that doesn't mean I'm a supporter of Mrs. Boyda," he said. "I think my right of voting is a personal thing. And I don't think you are (being personal) when you put a sign in your yard."
U. S. Rep. Jim Ryun, R-Kan., introduces vice president Dick Cheney during a campaign event in Topeka on Oct. 12.
Concerns about Congress don't seem to influence the group's impressions of Ryun.
"I think Ryun is going to be hard to beat since he's well thought of," Caudle said. "I don't despise Congress. I think they have a tough job to do. I don't think you should condemn them all."
However, Bill Murphy thinks Boyda has a chance, especially because Ryun hasn't visited the town recently.
"I don't think he's campaigning like she is," said Murphy, 52, owner of convenience stores and a pizza restaurant. "Just the fact that he's Republican is trouble. Things could fly up and hit him in the face."
Jane Harris, a retired medical records employee, remembered Ryun as a star runner for the University of Kansas and in the Olympics.
Today, Ryun, who is seeking his sixth term, reflects her views in Washington.
"His family values is what we appreciate about him, his morals," said Harris, 85. "I think those Democrats just pick on the Republicans."

GREG GRIESENAUER
The concert, which lists Madonna as an executive producer, is scheduled to air Nov. 22.
During the provocative passage in her concert, Madonna is shown on a mirrored cross wearing a crown of thorns. She has explained that it was meant to illustrate a theme of confession.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
But this angered some religious leaders, who called it a bad-taste
publicity stunt. Several religious groups in the United States told NBC they would organize a boycott of one of the concert's commercial sponsors if the scene appeared.

The pop star, whose video for "Like a Prayer" likewise left some religious leaders cold two decades ago, explained earlier that she wasn't mocking the church and considered the scene no different than a person who wears a cross.
Madonna isn't seen until she gets off the cross, the network said.

Giles needs support, not compassion, reminders
Yuvenil
BY B.J. RAINS
BY B.J.RAINS
KANAS COLUMNIST
BJIRAINS@KANSAN.COM
This is not what Kansas neede
This is not what Kansas needed. After last week's debacle in which the NCAA Committee on Infractions penalized the Athletics Department by taking away scholarships in football and men's basketball because of wrong
doings within the programs, Kansas needed something positive to happen to help quiet the whispers. Instead, things just got worse.
The Jayhawks are not only the preseason choice of the Big 12 coaches to win the conference, but many people's pick (Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated is the latest to pick Kansas) to win the National Championship. Coach Self and his players should be fielding questions from the media about their high expectations, who is going to start and how quickly the freshmen are going to be in the mix. Instead, they
are being asked about what is going on with C.J. Giles.
Giles obviously has some issues.
According to court records, Giles faces an allegation that he owes $4,097 in unpaid child support and is due in a Douglas County Courtroom on Monday to discuss the matter. A return to the Jayhawks almost certainly will not happen with the latest development, and it's obvious that it must not be fun to be Giles right now.
With that said, we need to give him a break. Because he plays basketball at a high-profile school like
Kansas, this situation has turned into a national story. The man screwed up, and is going to have to pay for it, but don't you think he realizes it?
If this happened to you, would you want everyone getting into your personal life and asking you all of these questions and making fun of you? No, you would want everyone's encouragement and support to help you stay strong in a tough time like this. Giles probably feels terrible about the entire thing.
Giles was considered a legitimate NBA prospect because of his size
and athleticism, but that dream has suffered a severe blow within the last few weeks. He needs to focus on his school work and getting his life back in order. If and when that happens, he can begin to think about basketball.
Here is what needs to happen:
Giles needs to publicly apologize to the mother and to his son for everything that has happened. Then he needs to go to court on Monday and pay the remaining balance that he owes to the mother in child support. Giles then needs to go back to class and improve his grades. He is
in college to get an education, and his grades should be more important than anything else.
If you see C.J. on campus or out in Lawrence, shake his hand or offer your support. Don't point at him or chant "child support" or laugh. He screwed up, but he doesn't need you to remind him. I don't think you would want that reminder, either.

Oklahoma to start new running back Saturday
shoes to fill
NORMAN, Okla. — Vessels. Owens. Washington. Sims. Dupree. Peterson. Six running backs. Six distinctive styles. Six big
The question this week is will tailback Allen Patrick pick up the slack after Heisman hopeful Adrian Peterson went down with a season-ending collarbone injury.
Patrick, a 6 feet, 190 pound junior from Conway, S.C., will get his first start this Saturday against Colorado and is expected to get a majority of the work load in Peterson's absence.
The position of running back at OU is not for the faint of heart, and now, when the season hangs in the balance, the Sooners are left with more questions than answers at running back.

Texas, Texas A&M rivalry appears on Wheaties box
AUSTIN, Texas — You'll have to put up with some Aggie maroon if you want to buy the latest Texas football Wheaties cereal box.

"The Texas A&M versus Texas rivalry is steeped in tradition and being featured on the 'Breakfast of Champions' cereal box is a perfect way to commemorate this great series," Aggies head coach Dennis Franchione said.
The Daily Texan
The programs' rich histories helped them earn the box cover. Texas is one of four teams with over 800 wins and won national titles in 1963, 1969, 1970 and 2005. The Longhorns also have two Heisman Trophy winners in Ricky Williams and Earl Campbell.
MILWAUKEE — Internet threats of "dirty bomb" attacks at NFL stadiums this weekend were a hoax, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security said Thursday.
The FBI made the announcement after agents questioned a 20-year-old Milwaukee man in an effort to determine who made the threats.
A joint statement from the FBI and Homeland Security said fans "should be reassured of their security as they continue to attend sporting events this weekend."
No decision has been made yet on whether charges will be filed, the official said.
"From the information we have.we believe he was involc

SELF (CONTINUED FROM 11A)
The biggest news surrounding the Big 12 coming into this season is how the conference might change with half of the conference hiring new head coaches.
Oklahoma, Kansas State, Nebraska, Iowa State, Missouri and Oklahoma State brought in Jeff Caple. Bob Huggins, Doc Sadler, Greg McDermott, Mike Anderson and Sean Sutton, respectively, as their new coaches.
Kansas was the unanimous pick by conference coaches to finish the season No.1 in the Big 12.
"I do think we will have a nice team,not predicting anything. Just a nice team that has a chance to be very good over time,"Self said.
Self down-played the ranking, saying it wasn't actually unanimous because he voted for Texas A&M. As Kansas coach, he couldn't vote for his own team.

C. J. Giles has been asked to appear in Douglas County District Court on Monday to explain why he has neglected to make child support payments.
Giles in court, not on court
It will not be his first court date of the year, however.
It will not be his first court date of the year, however.
According to court documents, Giles did not appear in court on April 7, 2006, when a judge ordered him to pay $241 per month in child support, in addition to back payments and court costs, to the mother of his child.
The documents also said that Giles, who is a junior center on the Kansas men's basketball team, does not have an attorney.
When interviewed by The
Kansan on Wednesday, the mother said that she had hired an attorney. She added that she notified Giles before she filed the lawsuit.
Douglas County sheriffs have served Giles with his notice to appear in court Monday, where he has been ordered by Judge Pro Tem Peggy Kittel to present his financial records.
Giles owes the mother a total of $4,097 and must also appear in court on Jan. 8, 2007, for a hearing concerning him being held in contempt of court.

Cards win NL pennant
Mets hopes crushed by Yadier Molina home run in 9th
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — No way anybody was catching Yadier Molina's ninth-inning shot. And by the time it landed beyond the left-field fence, the St. Louis Cardinals were headed to the World Series.
Molina's tiebreaking homer and another Game 7 gem by Jeff Suppan helped St. Louis overcome Endy Chavez's astounding grab, giving the Cardinals a 3-1 victory over the New York Mets on Thursday night
for the NL championship.
Adam Wainwright wriggled out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the ninth, striking out St. Louis nemesis Carlos Beltran to end it and leaving a stunned crowd in deflated silence just moments after it had Shea Stadium shaking.
And with that, the Cardinals earned their second pennant in three years and a date with the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night in Game 1 of the World Series.
Hey Motown, here come the Cards.
Molina, a .216 career hitter with only six home runs during the regular season, drove the first pitch he saw from reliever Aaron Heilman into New York's bullpen for a 3-1 lead in the ninth.
Chavez, who made one of the most memorable postseason catches just three innings earlier, could only stand and watch at the fence as the Mets' World Series hopes were dashed.
Scott Rolen, robbed of a homer by Chavez in the sixth, got the St. Louis rally started with a single.

Jayhawks to take on Bears push play to higher level
After coach's remarks on Texas loss, performance improves
BY MARK DENT
Maybe Mark Francis needs to get upset more often.
Two weeks ago at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex, Kansas played its worst game of the season in a loss against Texas. After the game, the Kansas coach blasted his team in a long tirade, and the Jayhawks have responded with some of their best soccer of the year.
"I'm sure me chewing them a new one probably gave them a little impetus," Francis said. "But I think they also realized what Kansas soccer is all about."
Kansas will look to continue playing at a high level at 3 p.m. today when it faces Baylor at the jayhawk Soccer Complex. It will also play host to Tech Texas at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The jayhawks' best soccer of the season actually started with
Baylor (6-8-1, 3-4) has already surpassed last season's four victories and is currently sitting in seventh place in the conference. Last week, the Bears split match-ups with the Oklahoma schools, losing to the
three at home, starting today with the Bears.

Self avoids discussing sanctions, Giles case
FRIDAY FIVE
The questions you need to ask about Saturday's game.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bill Self discusses this season's lineup Thursday at Big 12 Men's Basketball Media Days.
BY SHAWN SHROYER
After a week that included NCAA-enforced sanctions against his program and the indefinite suspension of one of his players, Kansas coach Bill Self probably could have used a vacation.
Instead, Self spent Thursday in Oklahoma City at the Big 12 Men's Basketball Media Day. While one-on-one questions were sure to concern last week's penalties from the NCAA and the recent suspension of junior center C.J. Giles, Self made it through the open Q-and-A session without having to respond to either issue directly.
Self fielded questions about his preseason Big 12 Players of the Year, what remains of his front-court, Kansas' No. 1 ranking in the preseason Big 12 Coaches Poll and his expectations on Kansas' performance in the new-look Big 12.
Last week, preseason Big 12 Player of the Year honors were shared by Kansas sophomores Brandon Rush and Julian Wright. They were also named to the preseason All-Big 12 First Team.
The two received the honors based on potential following freshman campaigns, where Rush averaged 13.5 points per game and Wright averaged 8.5 points, leaving room for improvement.
Self said the key for Wright this year was getting stronger and having a year of experience at the college level. As for Rush, he just needed to become more aggressive.
"Last year when Brandon was a freshman, he didn't make many baskets in practice," Self said. "He was so nonaggressive that it was hard to get him to look for a shot or look to score."
With Giles suspended indefinitely, reporters were curious about Self's frontcourt situation.
Self said he had at least four players who could play productive minutes in the post. When asked if Giles was included in that main four, Self addressed the question, mentioning everyone except Giles.
"I know we have Darnell,
Julian, Sasha and Darrell," Self

Q
- How good is Baylor?
A
This might be the best team Baylor has put together in its Big 12 Conference history. The Bears have seniors at important skill positions, like quarterback, receiver and defensive back. Baylor also has the nation's 10th best offense, averaging 285 yards passing a game. With that passing attack and Kansas recent struggles on defense, it could be a long afternoon for the Jayhawks in Waco.

Cornerback Agib Talib and the Kansas defense will have to stop Baylor's high-powered offense led by quarterback Shawn Bell.
Q
Who's still hurting on offense?
win in College Station.
A
Meier said he's feeling no ill affects of the injury he suffered at Toledo a month ago. Same goes for Cornish and wide receiver Marcus Herford, who have both suffered injuries in the past few weeks. Offensive lineman Bob Whitaker has also been seeing his time decrease because of constant knee problems.
Q
A
Does the defense stand a chance against Baylor's offense?
win in College Station.
- Baylor players certainly think they can light up Kansas' struggling defense. Cornerback C.J. Wilson told the Waco Tribune this week that when Baylor's offense found out about the more than 600 yards Kansas gave up last week, they would be "trying to put up 1,000 yards on these guys."
Q
Who will be the X-Factor in Saturday's game?
A:
Senior running back Jon Cornish and the running game will go a long way toward deciding Saturday's game against Baylor. If the rushing attack can have success and keep Baylor's offense off the field, Kansas should be able to keep the game close. Without a rushing game, the Jayhawks stand little chance of beating the Bears in a shoot out.

In his second game back in the starting lineup, Kerry Meier looks to kickstart the Jayhawk offense against the Baylor Bears Saturday. Meier looked strong against Oklahoma State last week, but the offense struggled to run the ball with running back Jon Cornish missing action.
Kansan File Photo
Q: How important is Kerry Meier?
A:
Although the offense was particularly sharp against Oklahoma State, Meier's addition was evident. The quarterback run is a big part of the offense and Adam Barmann's lack of mobility showed in Meier's absence. Meier had a solid first game back after missing a month because of injury and his return is good news for a team searching for a reason to hope. The next step for Meier and the offense is to find a way continue to keep the pressure on while holding a lead.

The Kansas volleyball team plays at Texas A&M on Saturday, where it will look to do something it has never done under coach Ray Bechard in College Station.
But Bechard has had success in Lawrence against the Aggies. The Jayhawks (10-9, 3-7) have defeated the Aggies (9-9, 2-8) the last four times they have come to Lawrence, but have not been able to carry that success on the road.
"That's a tough place, they got all kinds of stuff running around there."
Bechard said, "They get all kinds of cheers, different kinds of noises."
Bechard said the team would be ready for the road after playing at Missouri in front of 3,000 people and at Nebraska in front of a crowd of 4,000.
"A&M has a tremendous level of school energy and enthusiasm, and it is a very live atmosphere," Bechard said. "It's a fun place to play from that standpoint."
The Jayhawks defeated the Aggies in a five-game match in Lawrence earlier this season. It was Kansas' first Big 12 Conference victory, and
Last week, Kansas won two conference games against Kansas State and Baylor to help turn its season around.
its last before the team went into a mid-season slump, losing the next five matches.
Texas A&M has lost its last two games against Texas and Iowa State. However, the team still has aspirations to make it back to the NCAA tournament. Kansas is going for its fourth-straight tournament appearance.
"We need to know we can go in there with a lot of confidence",
A&M freshman outside hitter, Mary Batis, leads her team in kills and is ranked 10th in the conference. The Aggies' Christi Hahn, senior middle blocker, has become one of the top conference players this season with a .387 hitting efficiency, fourth best in the Big 12.
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, and Emily Brown, junior opposite hitter/setter, helped bring Kansas out of the five-match slump. Correa is averaging a team-high 4.24 kills per game and Brown has nine double-doubles this season.
Bechard said.
First serve is set for 6:30 p.m. in College Station at the White Coliseum.
"They'll play with a level of urgency," Bechard said. "Like a number of other teams, they had outstanding preconference and they know they're capable of playing very good volleyball."

KICKOFF
ATAGLANCE
Kansas enters Saturday's game on a three-game losing streak. In the past three games, Kansas has continued its traditional struggle in close games and has blown large leads in its last two. Baylor has knocked off Kansas State and Colorado, along with a loss last week to Texas, en route to a 2-1 start to conference play.
5 QUICK FACTS
20 — games since Kansas' defense last allowed a 100-yard rusher.
1,394 yards given up by Kansas defense in the past three weeks.
5. 1 — yards per carry averaged by running back Jon Cornish
0 — Kansas' all-time victories in Waco.
6 —consecutive road losses for Kansas.
PLAYER TO WATCH

Talib
two-game suspension earlier in the season, the sophomore cornerback is having the best season of anyone in Kansas' secondary. Talib has two interce
tions, to go along with 21 tackles. If Kansas is going to have a chance on Saturday, Talib must be able to shut down the receivers on his side of the field.
QUESTION MARKS
Will the secondary perform well? Kansas' secondary has been torched for most of the season and that was no exception against Oklahoma State. Talib said the defense had made bridges this week towards fixing their problems. He better be right or else Baylor's offense could have a field day against Kansas' struggling defense.

Kansas
Offense
The return of Kerry Meier to the starting lineup also marked a better performance by Kansas' offense. With Meier back, the offense seemed to more in synch. With a healthy Cornish as well, this weekend's game might be the most complete the offense has been since the opening game. The key for Kansas this week is continuing to keep the pressure on Baylor while holding a lead. In the past few weeks, Kansas has gotten conservative on offense and that has hurt them down the stretch. Kansas must keep its foot on the gas if it wants to snap its four-game losing streak.
KU KU
Defense
Baylor
Kansas' defense has been beaten and bruised through the air in the past few weeks. The passing problems aren't exclusively with the secondary, but also relate to a lack of a consistent pass rush. In the offense that Baylor runs, which uses the quick passes, getting to the quarterback quickly will be key. If Baylor quarterback Shawn Bell is allowed to stand in the pocket and find an open receiver, he'll make Kansas pay. The good news for the defense is that they still haven't allowed a 100-yard rusher this season.
KI
Momentum
After starting the season 3-1, Kansas now mired in its usual mid-season free fall. The Jayhawks have dropped their last two games in similar fashion — build a lead, then watch it crumble. In their final five games, the team must go at least 3-2 to qualify for a second straight bowl appearance. If this team has any postseason aspirations, they must figure out a way to get a win on Saturday.
Offense
If Oklahoma State can rack up 400-plus passing yards against Kansas, Baylor could threaten 600 yards through the air. The Cowboys' 411 passing yards were double their season average. The Bears are averaging 285.6 passing yards per game, good for second best in the Big 12 and 10th best in the nation. Most impressive about this is that defenses know the pass is coming from Baylor. The Bears are averaging only 18 carries per game for 39.1 yards a contest. An average quarterback throughout his career, senior Shawn Bell is excelling in Baylor's new spread offense. He has completed 63 percent of his passes for 1,928 yards and 13 touchdowns. However, he is prone to turning

Defense
Defense As good as Baylor's offense has been, the defense hasn't been able to finish strong. In six of seven games this season, the Bears led at halftime, but they managed to lose half of those games. Baylor's defense ranks eighth in the conference in passing defense
rushing defense, total defense, and scoring defense. Of course, a 63-31 loss to Texas last week, in which Baylor surrendered 437 total yards of offense, has a way of skewing the rankings. On paper, the Kansas rushing attack versus the Baylor rushing defense clearly favors Kansas. So, if the Bears can stop the run, they might find the score in their favor at the end of the game.
BJE
Momentum
Being Baylor's Homecoming weekend, Floyd Casey Stadium could be louder than it's been all season. However, history isn't exactly in the Bears' favor when it comes to Homecomings. Baylor is 33-36-4 all-time on Homecoming. Like Kansas, Baylor has been in position to win most of the games it has lost. As long as the Bears have gotten over the 32-point shellacking against the Longhorns last week, they should enter this game with all the confidence that they will win. Although the offense may not be forced to punt this week, if it is, Baylor will be able to unleash its not-so-secret weapon in senior punter Daniel Sepulveda. He is averaging 45.2 yards per punt, which is seventh best in the nation.
BU KICKOFF
ATA GLANCE
5 QUICK FACTS
This will be the eighth meeting all-time between Baylor and Kansas and the Bears lead the series 4-3 and are undefeated at home against the Jayhawks. Baylor received its first conference loss last week, a 63-31 pounding at the hands of Texas. The Bears gave the Longhorns an early scare, though,jumping out to a 10-0 lead after the first quarter. In fact, Colorado was the only opponent Baylor trailed after the first quarter and Texas was the only opponent that Baylor trailed going into halftime. But, like the Jayhawks, the Bears have struggled to preserve leads.
0 — games senior punter Daniel Sepulveda missed after tearing his ACL last April.
3 — victories Baylor has against Kansas at home in three games.
8 — consecutive losses Baylor has in Homecoming games.
72. 4 — penalty yards against Baylor per game; Baylor's opponents are also averaging 72.4 yards per game in penalties.
BUBE
118 — Division 1A schools, out of 119; ahead of Baylor in rushing yards per game.

MFL
Wilson is not only one of the best quotes in the Big 12, he's one of the top cornerbacks the conference has to offer. His
biggest competition for both honors will be on the opposite sideline in Kansas sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib. Wilson leads Baylor and is tied for the conference lead with four interceptions. However, of the two players he's tied with, Wilson is the only one who has returned one for a touchdown.
QUESTION MARKS
Will Trent Shelton get tired? The senior wide receiver enters Saturday's game with nearly identical per-game stats to those Adarius Bowman had before he played Kansas last week. Baylor is a better passing team than Oklahoma State, so it could be a busy day for Shelton.

OU
Coming off back-to-back road victories in which Nebraska outscored its opponents by a combined 49-17, Nebraska looks to avenge a 27-24 loss to Texas the last time the two teams played in Lincoln. While quarterback Zac Taylor has 14 touchdowns to two interceptions, the Cornhuskers are led by running back Marlon Lucky, Brandon Jackson, Cody Glein, and Kenny Wilson. All four have more than 300 rushing yards and have combined for 18 rushing touchdowns this season.

The post-Adrian Peterson era begins Saturday for Oklahoma, while Colorado looks to win consecutive games for the first time since it beat Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri in a three-week span from Oct. 22 to Nov. 5 last season.
Colorado was impressive last week against Texas Tech, earning its first victory of the season. Entering last week, Colorado was the only Big 12 with less than 100 points for the season while Texas Tech was nearing 200. The Buffaloales responded by putting up 30 points and holding the Red Raiders to six.
It's no secret that Oklahoma lost star running back Adrian Peterson for the season last weekend. Quarterback Paul Thompson has played better than expected this season, completing 60.5 percent of his passes for 1,334 yards. With Peterson gone, he will have to be even better.

The two latest teams to beat Kansas in comeback fashion meet in a Big 12 South battle. Both teams are coming off big wins last week, but won by different means.
Texas A&M played a ranked Missouri team that was averaging 34 points per game and won 25-19. The Aggie defense forced three turnovers in the game, and the offense ran over the Tigers to the tune of 180 rushing yards. Texas A&M is led by juggernaut running back Jorvorskier Lane. Lane is tied for first in the nation with 14 rushing touchdowns on the season.

Against Kansas, Oklahoma State overcame a 17-0 deficit in the third quarter to win 42-32 by utilizing its passing game. Quarterback Bobby Reid broke the school record for total offense, set by his coach Mike Gundy, with 457 total yards. His main receiving target was wide out Adarius Bowman, who set school and Big 12 records with 300 receiving yards.

West Campus biology center continues to grow
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Site preparation for phase three of the Structural Biology Center on West Campus will begin as early as the end of October, according to a University official.
Kevin Boatright, director of research communications, said phase three of the center was part of a sequence of new buildings on West Campus. Recent construction on West Campus has included
The construction will be an addition to the already operational phases one and two of the center, which opened in Fall 2004. Construction is expected to be completed by December 2007 at a cost of $16 million.

Drum therapist leads KU students, staff in African drum circle

Amanda Sellers/KANSAN
Russell "Buddy" Helm, drum therapist and motivational coach, points to participants during a drumming session held Friday afternoon in the Multicultural Resource Center. Helm led a group of about 10 people in drum beats and chants such as "I am fearless" and "I am success". He wants people to walk away from his sessions with an enhanced quality of life and feel like they have relieved some stress.
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
"Da da da da boom boom."
A group of about 10 people bang-ing away on handmade drums circled around Russell "Buddy" Helm. Some had their shoes off, others were leaning back relaxed in their chairs, almost all were smiling. As the beat grew louder, the crowd's enthusiasm swelled, until a crescendo of drums filled the room.
On Friday, Helm, a drum therapist, came from Santa Monica, Calif., to lead University of Kansas students and staff in an African drum circle at the Multicultural Resource Center. Helm was on a mission to help participants play diverse world beats in an exercise of relaxation and diversity appreciation.
Above the sound of the beating drums, Helm spoke to the crowd about drumming's roots in Africa and the power they have to bring cultures together.
"Drumming is a common tool for every culture and rhythm," Helm said. "It unifies people of every culture and religion."
Helm said that the beat of the drums had a therapeutic affect on those who play them. A slower tempo helps the body to stop the flow of adrenaline and to start the flow of serotonin in the brain, he said.
"People intuitively are coming to the drum to heal and to maintain a portion of their humanness as we become more digitized." Helm said. "The groove is a lifelife."
Helm himself came to the drums to find solace in a hectic life. He worked for years in Hollywood as a post-production supervisor and wrote the "Star Wars" comic book series for George Lucas. Music remained his first love though and he went back to it after his career in Hollywood. Helm now writes books and teaches on the diverse relaxing elements of drumming and he makes his own drums to help communicate his teachings.
Helm brought a set of his handmade drums with him to the University. He said the drums were carved by some of his longtime friends in Ghana.

Spotlight on Organizations
BY JESSICA SAIN-BAIRD
In high school, Andrew Stangl, Wichita senior and president of Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, decided to become more knowledgeable about secular views.
During this time, he said religious influence on him was most prominent. But he felt compelled to take a different stance.
SOMA
"I didn't agree with the supernatural thought of any religion," he said.
So for the past three years, Stangl has led SOMA, which he describes
as a social outlet for secular-minded people.
"It provides a community for atheists, agnostics and secularists," he said.
SOMA first began in 1999, and is "devoted to advancing a nonreligious world view and to challenging religious dogma and the groups that advocate it," according to its Web site.
Different social events throughout the year include potlucks and movie nights. The organization usually hosts a speaker in the fall but because of the University of Kansas "Knowledge: Faith & Reason" lecture
series, it is postponing that event until the spring.
For being a secular-minded group on a fairly religious campus — 42 religious organizations are registered with the University, according to www.ku.edu/organizations - the response of SOMA has been positive.
"We rarely deal with negative attacks," Stangl said. "Quite a few people share the atheist, agnostic or secular viewpoint."
Currently more than 150 people are signed up to receive e-mail updates from the group. About 30 to 40 people attend meetings, which are typically discussion-oriented and
address various topics.
The group is open to anyone in the Lawrence area. Meetings are held every other Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union Regionalist Room. The next meeting is scheduled for Nov. 2.
Interested students and other community members can visit the SOMA Web site at www.kusoma.org or e-mail Stangl at stangla@ku.edu.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
Hall residents pit pennies against nickels
BY MATT ELDER
Pennies will be the most valuable currency at Oliver Hall this week as residents begin a fundraiser to collect money for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
From the nine resident floors in Oliver, all 17 wings will be competing in a "penny war," said Jay Vaglio, Leawed sophomore and Oliver senior staff resident assistant. Collection buckets will sit at the front desk of Oliver until next Monday for each individual wing, where every penny collected will count as a point for that floor.
Proceeds raised by Oliver residents will be donated to Lawrence Memorial Hospital's "Stepping Out Against Breast Cancer" event on Oct. 28, which raised more than $53,000 last year. The donations will be used to provide mammograms to uninsured or under-insured women in the Lawrence community, according to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 40,000 will die.
Andy Schreiner, Topeka freshman and Oliver government president, said the organizers added a twist to create greater involvement with the fundraiser. Oliver residents will be allowed to put other coins and dollars
in other floors' buckets that will "sabotage" by counting negative in that floor's point total. A quarter would take away 25 points for example, and a dollar would take away 100.
"It provides a fun and competitive way for students to donate money and recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month," Schreiner said.
Jessica Ward, Perry, Ga., graduate student and Oliver assistant complex director, said that she was hoping flyers posted throughout the residence hall and word of mouth would create excitement in the building about the fundraiser. She said that the winning wing would receive a pizza party.
Vaglio said he was aware other student housing residence halls had done similar fundraisers in the past. He said that although the "penny war" is a game of sorts, it can make more money than he would have thought, and even small additions of spare change begin to add up.
"A lot of people would go to vending machines, and just give their leftover change," Vaglio said.

"Teach For America's mission is that one day all children will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education."
LINDA MENDEZ
member of Teach For America
teaching English to a group of high school sophomores in Houston.
Mendez is one of 35 KU graduates who are a part of more than 4,000 members of Teach For America currently teaching in classrooms across the United States. And she is one of the thousands who are taking advantage of the 16-year-old program designed to improve the nation's public school systems by bringing recent college graduates to needy schools.
During the past 16 years, the program has grown into one of the nation's top employers of college graduates on many college campuses. As part of a five-year expansion program, many Teach For America recruiters are hitting campuses, such as the University of Kansas, with aggressive recruiting methods to entice new and diverse participants.
Casey Parks, Teach For America recruitment director for the Great
thing we can up front to ensure that the corps members we are placing in the classroom are right for the position and have what it takes to be successful," Parks said.
Recruiters
were on campus last week at the University to show a CNN documentary on Teach For America in hopes of recruiting soon-to-be KU graduates. Some members of Teach For America will be on campus again this week to meet with potential applicants. They have also taken to e-mailing many graduating seniors about the program and recruiting events.
With so many recruitment efforts at the University, the program is still selective, but not exclusive. The program utilizes a rigorous application process to pick the best recent college graduates. Mendez said that while 10 percent of the 2005 Yale graduating class applied for Teach For America, the program is open to anyone who has demonstrated leadership and perseverance during their undergraduate careers.
As part of the five-year expansion program, Teach For America is trying to recruit more participants
including more participants of color to diversify the program, in hopes of providing positive role models to young multicultural students.
"Teach For America's mission is that one day all children will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education," Mendez said. "As an organization, we believe that educational inequity is becoming a defining issue of our generation."
In order to entice recent college graduates to close the educational gap, Teach For America offers lucrative graduate educational and business partnerships. Universities such as Yale, Columbia, Brown and Harvard offer graduate program incentives to Teach For America alumni. The program also recently partnered with JP Morgan and Wachovia to help alumni enter into a career after teaching.
Teach For America also offers more than $4,000 in educational funding awards for each year of service in the program. Yet beginning in 2007, the program has to reapply for a grant and may not be able to offer that amount or any amount as a future incentive.
Rewards for all the long days in the classroom or not, Mendez said that Teach For America remains to be one of the most valuable and challenging experiences she has had the opportunity to be a part of.
"Even when I'm frustrated and tired I realize that what I do everyday has an affect on my students," Mendez said. "I have been able to go to Quinceaneras with my students. I've taken them to movies. I've helped them finish reading
their first books ever. I meet with their parents regularly. I go to their dance recitals and football games. I have even been to a few baby showers in their honor. I do what I have to do for my students to succeed."

Pressure to stop Iraq's bloodshed builds
BY DEB RIECHMANN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Republicans and Democrats urged the White House on Sunday to increase the pressure on Iraq's prime minister to crush militias blamed for the rising bloodshed.
President Bush expressed unwav-
ering confidence in Nouri al-Malki's
ability to come to grips with the sectarian violence. Yet continued instability and rising casualties have led to calls, growing louder as the Nov. 7 elections near, for Bush to overhaul his war plan.
"I don't believe that a shift in tactics ought to wait until after the election," said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. "There are too many
Two U.S. troops were killed in fighting, the military said Sunday, raising the death toll in October to 80, the highest of any month this year. The overall U.S. death toll has surpassed 2,780.
casualties there. If we have a better course, we ought to adopt it sooner rather than later."
Sen, Jack Reed, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the Bush administration's Iraq policy was failure. "What we have is a situation where this government over the last few months is deteriorating," said Reed, D-R.I.
While agreeing al-Maliki is the best leader to support in Iraq right now, lawmakers from both parties said he must do more to find a political solution between warring Shiite and Sunni sects, or peace will remain out of reach.
Bush said in his judgment,
"Maliki has got what it takes to lead a unity government." But the president noted the urgency the new government faces to stop the killing.
"I'm patient. I'm not patient forever, and I'm not patient with dawdling."

ELECTION
Kline losing support after six rough weeks
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Phill Kline has just seen as rough a six-week period as any statewide candidate in Kansas in recent memory.
The bad times for Kline began with the anonymous leak in September of an internal memo he wrote outlining an effort to make the most of his support among conservative Christians. Its blunt directions to staff included making sure pastors bring "money people" to post-worship events.
He lost a key ally, former Attorney General Bob Stephan. But the low point may have been last week, when Kline and the state GOP publicized allegations of sexual harassment from two long-dismissed federal lawsuits against Democratic challenger Paul Morrison, the Johnson County district attorney.
This seemed politically risky, given that neither case against Morrison resulted in a completed trial or any damages from Morrison to the former employee who sued him. The litigation against Morrison stemmed from his 1991 firing of his victim coordinator. She filed a lawsuit a month later and told attorneys who questioned her that Morrison had made a drunken sexual advance at her during an office party in a bar. Morrison said he told her she was attractive, realized she took the comment the wrong way and apologized the next day.
Then there was Friday's endorsement of Morrison by former Attorney General Carla Stovall Steckline, a Republican and Kline's immediate predecessor in office. Activists in both parties had assumed Kline's race against Morrison would be close
and difficult, but Kline had a potent weapon — and perhaps his best issue — in Morrison's support of a 2000 law that reduced probation for some offenders and the state's supervision of many parolees.
Nearly 1,800 people — one in every five — of those affected later returned to prison for new crimes. Within six months of the law taking effect, nearly 900 offenders sitting in prison for violating their parole or probation were released.
But Kline has spent a lot of time talking about other issues.
First, there's the church memo. The people most likely to be offended by it are members of mainline denominations whose worship traditions emphasize liturgies and lessons and rarely feature guest testimony. That could be a problem for Kline as he tries to keep moderate Republican Catholics, Episcopalians, Methodists or Presbyterians from voting for Morrison. The rift with Stephan caused the fellow Republican to criticize Kline's tapping conservative churchgoers for contributions.
Stephan was particularly bothered that, after Kline gave religious testimony at one Topeka church, the congregation passed around its collection plate. The resulting "love offering" went to SWT Communications, a company run by Kline's wife. Under Kansas law, such payments create legal issues. According to the state Governmental Ethics Commission, officials can't accept speaking fees in their official capacities, even if the money ends up with a third party, such as a business or charity.
Whether such a payment violates Kansas law depends entirely on whether Kline was acting in his official capacity or, as the church's pastor said, only as "a brother in the Lord." A mere introduction of Kline as attorney general might be enough, under the right circumstances, to put the payment across the line.

》 OUR VIEW
Degree gap breeds inequality
It has become a kind of cultural consensus that in order to maximize earning potential, a student must go to college.
Not so long ago, a high school diploma was viewed as essential, while a bachelor's degree was the end goal of those more committed to academic pursuit. But within the lifetime of those of us currently enrolled at the University, the situation evolved.
A high school diploma became just another step on the way to college, and the bachelor's degree became the essential element of success. This was mostly encouraging, as more students chose college over immediate jobs, and a new Great Enlightenment sometimes seemed imminent.
Now, however, the rush to higher education has created a disheartening and somewhat ironic problem. The pursuit of graduate or professional degrees by a small minority of students has bred a widening gap in the respective earning power of
bachelor's degrees and graduate degrees.
A recent Wall Street Journal report showed that since 2000, the only workers who have seen an income increase are those with graduate degrees. Those with just a bachelor's degree saw a drop in income of more than 3 percent, while those with graduate degrees saw a rise of 3 percent. The group with the biggest increase was made up of those with an M.B.A., J.D., or M.D., who represent just 2 percent of American workers but who saw their earnings shoot up more than 10 percent to an impressive $119,343.
This trend may or may not indicate an intellectual revival in the United States, but it certainly points to a solidifying gap between the educated elites and everyone else in society. Those who come from households with preexisting earning power have inherently greater access to education and can worry less about debt accrued by that education. Conversely, those who begin in poorer households are less likely to pursue higher education, whether by their own choice or as a result of intrinsic cultural and economic barriers.
The gap between educated elites and everyone else is easy for many of us to overlook, but each generational shift has cemented the gap's growth. Higher education is not for everyone, and the world needs skilled laborers as much as it needs attorneys. But in an ideal world, every young American should at least have the option of pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree.
We must take steps to close the earnings gap, so that those who choose alternate paths to happiness are not unjustly penalized for their equally worthy choice.

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
You remember it from elementary school — the short bus, the funny van, the special kids' car. We might have called it different names, but the idea was the same: We were placed on different buses based on physical and intellectual ability. Though this may seem like a quaint practice from days past, we continue to sort people onto separate buses according to ability. The KU on Wheels buses are accessible only to able-bodied students. Although KU on Wheels is funded by each student every semester through a $16 campus transportation fee, many students are not able to use the buses. As a substitute, the University of Kansas provides liftvans to students with physical disabilities as a kind of consolation prize.
However, by preventing access to campus buses and a system that does not have to be scheduled in advance, the University also prevents full integration of students with disabilities into campus life. The University takes pride in having one of the top special education departments in the country and hosting research on disability issues, yet many of its students with disabilities are not being fully integrated into the campus.

Dividing people into different groups and transportation systems based on their ability makes a bad situation worse by causing alienation.
According to Melissa Manning, associate director of Disability Resources, about 2,000 students at the University have some form of disability. Yet very few are aware of the practice that separates transportationally-disadvantaged disabled Jayhawks from others. By isolating students with physical and sensory disabilities from those who don't have these types of disabilities, a climate of misunderstanding, devaluation and fear grows.
That is why I encourage you to attend Disability Awareness Day, today on Wescow Beach. Disability is not a sickness or a defect or something that needs to be cured. Just like one's race and gender, disability is neither good nor bad — it's just a part of who people are, a fact of life. Please come, participate and learn

COMMENTARY
social change means more than bending down to help
Ever since the Students for a Democratic Society attracted nationwide media coverage for their radical tactics in support of the civil rights movement of the early 1960s, college campuses have been recognized centers of political and cultural rebellion in America.
The modern-day descendants of those with such anti-establishment impulses express themselves in a variety of different forms that any college student would immediately recognize: vegetarianism, concern for the Third World, contempt for American foreign policy and, last but not least, patchouli.
Walk through Wescoe Beach on any given afternoon and you'll see what I mean. Awareness-raising
The University of Kansas is no exception to this rule. Benefit concerts for impoverished nations, guest speakers from international aid organizations and student groups that speak out against oppression and injustice are staples of campus life.

supporters of victims of the Darfur genocide, recruiters from Teach for America, and perhaps even a representative or two from an animal rights group all vie for the attention of socially-aware students.
You don't see this kind of thing on any street corner. It is the particular nature of university campuses — which are in large part training schools for the future elite stratum of American society — that produces such a thriving environment for such seemingly radical causes. And that, as Jack Nicholson says in "The Departed," is what you call a paradox.
The French, in all of their righteous and unbathed wisdom, have a phrase for this type of social
awareness: noblesse oblige. Noblesse oblige (literally "noble obligation") stems from the notion that those with education, wealth and prestige have a responsibility to care for the other 99 percent of the world that has none of these things.
been denied access to institutions and privileges that their teachers have come to take for granted. In such a situation, the inequality of our education system is only amplified.
The problem with many modern-day proponents of noblesse oblige is that, despite their best intentions, their actions typically do little to alleviate the world's problems in any fundamental way. At best, they provide temporary relief for the populations they are aimed at. Just as often, however, they serve to reinforce the structures of inequality rather than dismantle them.
It may be a difficult pill to swallow, but it must be recognized that noblesse oblige is a fundamentally undemocratic way of thinking about how to change the world we live in. Genuine social change — if that is really what we desire — will only happen when the "victims" are no longer viewed as passive repositories for the altruism of elites, but rather as potentially active participants in their own destinies.
As much respect as I have for my friends and acquaintances who have taken two years off from their career goals to teach children in impoverished rural and inner-city schools, I think they have much more to learn than they do to teach
Teach For America is a good example. According to the organization's mission statement, its goal is "to enlist our nation's most promising future leaders in the movement to eliminate educational inequality." In practice, however, this means that recent college graduates end up working with children who have

COMMENTARY
everyone may be same on the inside, but world is not fair
Sitting at a coffee shop with a few friends after class, I stared at the front page of the newspaper, frowning at the melancholy headlines as my friends discussed another all-too-common story about religious violence.
After a long, dead silence, one of my friends piped up. He was convinced he could explain humanity with a package of M&Ms.
He pulled the familiar brown bag from his backpack and spilled the little circles of chocolate across the table.
"What do you see?" he asked.
Rolling my eyes at what I had seen and drooled over since I was 2 years old. I duly responded, "different colored candies."
"What do you see?" he asked
He asked me to pick any two and eat them.
I decided on a red and a yellow. "They taste the same," I said. "Exactly!"

elementary as comparing
Elementary as comparing humans to M&Ms may seem, the point, the same point that we have
been hearing since grade school, remained the same: While on the outside people are different, inside people are all alike.
Thinking about the statement more deeply, I considered my friends.
All of them had finished at least 12 years of school, and of course knew how to read, most had a secure economic situation, were healthy and had tangible prospects for their future.
Philp M. Harter from Stanford University's School of Medicine conducted a study in which he shrank the world down to 100 people. The numbers he came up with were not quite expected.
But I also knew that not everyone was as fortunate.
"Fifty-seven would be Asian, 21 European, 14 would be from the Western Hemisphere (both north and south), and eight would be African. Fifty-two of the people would be female, 48 male, 70 would be nonwhite, 70 would be non-Christian, 89 would be heterosexual, six people would possess 59 percent of the entire world's wealth, and all six would be from the USA. Eighty of the one hundred would live in substandard housing, 70 would be unable to read, 50 would suffer from malnutrition, one (yes, only one) would have a college education, and one would own a computer (a year ago no one had a computer)."
After reading Harter's summary, I was somewhat shocked that in a world of 100, I would be, for the most part, in the minority.
Perhaps humans are somewhat similar to chocolate covered candies.

The drums were made from a special, region-specific wood that has been incorporated into the drum-building technique for more than 1,000 years. The trees and goatskins that the drums are made of are even blessed to bring players peace and a deeper appreciation of their culture.
If the crowd on Friday was any indication, Helm's methods seemed to work. As new participants trickled in and out of the drum circle, each of them brought a new beat and enthusiastic flavor to the room.
"If you play with Buddy you can't help but smile," said Leigh Ann Livingston, Multicultural Resource Center graduate assistant.
Livingston said she was excited for Helm to come because he would allow student and staff participants the chance to relax during midterms through the use of his drum techniques. She played in the drum circle during the event.
Helm said he wanted to come to the University because he believed that appreciation of different cultures and rhythms should come from the Midwest. He said he enjoyed bringing his message to the Midwest and the rest of the nation.
"There are two basic rhythms, but there are many cultural rhythms," Helm said. "The genius of American culture is that we've simplified these rhythms into a world beat. It's rock'n'roll, rhythm and jazz, jazz, pop."

Road blunders continue
Texas A&M sweeps Kansas; Jayhawks winless in conference road matches
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team continued its road struggles Saturday night at Texas A&M.
The Jayhawks (10-10, 3-8 Big 12) were swept by the Aggies (10-9, 3-8) in College Station, Texas.
Kansas has yet to win a road conference game this season and is 0-6 away from home.
The Aggies took game one against the Jayhawks, winning by two. A&M
finished the game on an 8-2 run. Kansas has won the first game just once in conference play this season — against Baylor.
"After they held on in game one, momentum really shifted," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We didn't respond like we needed to."
Kansas took a 3-1 lead to start game two, but then Texas A&M rattled off five unanswered points. After the five-point run, the Aggies never trailed the Jayhawks as they cruised to
a six-point victory. Texas A&M committed just four errors compared to Kansas' 10 in the game. Texas A&M also out-hit Kansas, 294 to 073.
With the final game tied at 3-3, the Aggies went on a 9-1 run. Texas A&M led by as many as 10 in the game and defeated Kansas by seven.
Aggies outside hitter Mary Batis led her team with 11 kills and 13 digs. Middle blocker Christi Hahn had a match-high three aces for Texas A&M.
Kansas' Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, led the team with 11 kills and a .556 hitting efficiency. Emily Brown, junior right-side hitter, had a double-double performance with 10 kills and 10 digs,
her tenth of the season.
It was the sixth time this season the Jayhawks have been swept in conference play;

Goalie gets help from midfielders, shuts out Aggies
BY MARK DENT
Maybe midfielder Jessica Bush and goalkeeper Julie Hanley should switch positions.
Forget that Bush scored in her fourth straight game and Hanley hasn't allowed a goal in 346 minutes — Bush flashed serious goalkeeping skills by making two crucial saves in Kansas 3-0 victory against Texas Tech on Sunday.
"I was fortunate enough to have Jess and Monica kind of save one off the line for us," Hanley said. "I have to give all the credit to them on those."
save, but she knocked the ball away for good after the Raiders' ensuing shot attempt.
It was in the 70th minute when Bush showed her prowess around the net. The Jayhawks (11-6, 6-3) had a 3-0 lead, but the Red Raiders nearly cut into it. Hanley saved a ball on the left side of the net, but Tech collected the rebound and appeared to have an easy goal. A Raider fired the ball toward the right side of the net, but Bush stepped in next to Hanley and headed the ball away. Tech rebounded Bush's
Sunday's showing wrapped up a banner weekend for the sophomore duo of Hanley and Bush. Hanley also shut out Baylor in Kansas' 1-0 victory, and Bush scored the lone goal.
"When you need the result and you need the performance to be good, good players step up," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "I think obviously Jies has done that, and Bushy has been very consistent over the last five or six weeks."
Bush and Hanley weren't the only Jayhawks to step up Sunday. Senior forward Holly Gault added two assists and scored the game-winner in the 13th minute. It was her first goal in more than a month.
“It's been kind of frustrating cause I didn't really feel like I was really on top of my game.” Gault said. “So, it was kind of a relief.”

Baylor wide receiver Dominique Zeigler dives over freshman defensive back Anthony Webb for the game-winning touchdown with 1:08 remaining in the fourth quarter of Saturday's loss. Kansas blew a lead of at least 11 points for the third-straight game. The Jayhawks are now 3-5 and 0-4 in conference games.

Jayhawks come up empty in second half, blow another fourth-quarter lead
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
The fourth quarter implosion — Kansas' forte this season — had to come at some point. After blowing late leads in the three previous games, nothing short of another meltdown would have been a surprise.
WACO, Texas — You knew it was coming.
When Baylor got the ball back with 2:43 remaining in the fourth quarter trailing by only six points,
it was obvious what was about to happen.
Sure enough, the Jayhawks didn't disappoint Saturday against Baylor.
In what's become painfully normal this season, Kansas blew another late lead — this time it was 18 points — in the 36-35 loss at Floyd Casey Stadium.
Baylor scored three touchdowns in its three final possessions in the last 10 minutes to sneak out with the victory.
A four straight conference loss. A fourth straight blown lead.
And the third largest lead coughed up in program history.
"There's no reason for us, as a defensive unit, to allow those quick scores," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "That's totally unacceptable."
Welcome to the world of tragic comedy that has become Kansas' football season.
At least there was explanation this week for Kansas' second half futility — and an interesting one at that.
"I really felt like we sort of lost
our edge going into the second half," senior running back Jon Cornish said. "We weren't really coming out to win, we were trying to keep our lead. There's a lot of key mistakes in the second half that just wouldn't happen if we had been mentally ready to play in that situation."
With Kansas content to sit on its lead and run out the clock in the final 30 minutes, things started heading south for the Jayhawks late in the third quarter.

Bechard has had success against the Aggies in Lawrence, winning the past four years. The Jayhawks defeated the Aggies in a five-game match earlier this season. However, Bechard has never won at College Station during his nine years at Kansas.

Keep your heads held high, Jayhawk fans. You may still be down from the unbelievable yet somehow all-too-familiar loss to the Baylor Bears but if you want something to
Kansas is one of the better first- half football teams in the Big 12.
Kansas' record in conference play so far is 3-1 at halftime. The defense has only given up 20 points in the first half at Memorial Stadium this season. In the second half though, the defense has given up 87 points at home.
The result is that Kansas has blown more games than the Kansas City Royals bullpen.
So why is this happening? Is Kansas putting in the third string in the third quarter? Or, realistically, is Mark Mangino not making the proper adjustments as the game progresses?
This wasn't a problem last year. The Jayhawks pounded Nebraska in the second half, and won in overtime against Iowa State to go to a bowl game. In those games, Kansas got better as the games progressed.
It's hard to believe that Mangino and the rest of the coaches have changed their styles that dramatically in the past year.
If it isn't the coaching, then why does Kansas look like it has never been in a tight fourth-quarter situation?
For one thing, most of this year's team hasn't. This year's roster has a glaring lack of talented veterans.
If you look back at the 2003 high school recruiting class that Kansas brought in, most layhawk fans would have trouble finding any impact players that are still on the team as seniors or redshirt juniors.
Quarterback Adam Barmann has had a rocky career so far at Kansas. Running back John Randle and wide receiver Moderick Johnson had enough issues off the field to lose their spots on the team.
Part of the reason the layhawks have few upperclassmen is that Mangino spent the majority of his time recruiting junior college players to fill a void in talent from a 2002 team that won only two games.
The team was so bad that year that Mangino couldn't redshirt Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Mark Simmons of the 2002 class, all of whom would have been redshirt seniors this year.
The only impact player that is still on the team is running back Jon Cornish.
But with strong recruiting classes
from 2004, 2005 and 2006, Kansas finally has the young players that can be a force in the conference in a couple years.
You just have to realize that before long, Meier, running back Jake Sharp and cornerback Aqib Talib will be the veterans, and the great team we see in the first half might just be the same team that finishes games as well.

Kerry Meier leaves game because of similar injury
WACO, Texas — For the second time in a month, Kerry Meier has gone down injured.
The Kansas freshman quarterback left the game at the end of the third quarter after being tackled out-of-bounds on the Jay hawks' sideline. He got up slowly and was later seen sitting on the bench holding his right arm.
He was replaced in the fourth quarter by senior Adam Barmann, who started three games this season after Meier's first injury.
After the game, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he thought Meier suffered an injury similar to one he suffered earlier in the season.
Meer was injured earlier this season in the Sept. 23 loss at Toledo after he was tackled while running with the football.
Mangino said there was no timetable for Meier's return because he was unsure of the extent of the injury.
"The last time I made a prediction after a game, it wasn't right," Mangino said. "So I'm not going to do that."
Two days after the loss at Toledo Mangino said he expected Meier to return in time for the game against South Florida. Instead, Meier missed three weeks and made his return last Saturday against Oklahoma State.
While none of his stats stand out, Meier had one of the best games of his young career. In lieu of fantastic statistics, Meier's solid performance was reflected in he way Meier ran the offense.
Meier put Kansas' offense in a position to move the ball during the first half, scoring four touchdowns on six offensive possessions.
He didn't throw the ball much, only 6-for-11 passing for 62 yards and one touchdown. Meier did most of his damage on the ground, where he rushed for 62 yards on 12 carries, averaging more than five yards a rush.
Meier's 13-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Dexton Fields midway through the second quarter was his 10th touchdown pass of the season. That throw gave Meier the most touchdown passes ever thrown by a freshman quarterback at Kansas.

IT WAS OVER WHEN..
WAS OVER WHEN...
Kerry Meier left the game injured at the end of the third quarter. Although his stats were not gaudy, Meier played his best game so far. He managed the offense well and was able to run and pass with relative ease. Adam Barmann struggled at quarterback during the fourth quarter.
Jayhawks miss opportunity for bowl game
Stop me if you've heard this one:
Two guys walk into a bar and watch a Mark Mangino-coached Kansas team play on the road — Kansas loses. Already heard that one?
Try this one: a Priest and rabbi are trailing, a Mark. Mangino-coached Kansas team at halftime — Kansas loses. Sound familiar?
Jon Cornish had a career day — too bad it was spoiled by an ugly ending. Cornish finished the day with a career-high 196 yards on 24 carries. Cornish would have easily broken 200 yards against a Baylor defense that he shredded in the first two quarters had he not sat out most of the fourth quarter.
GAME BALL GOES TO...
Once again Kansas' defense struggled to find a way to protect a lead. The defense allowed 236 yards of offense in the fourth quarter alone as Baylor erased Kansas' 18-point lead. Just when it seemed Kansas might finally end its monthlong losing streak, the team struggled once again.
GAME TO FORGET...
For Kansas fans, these punch lines are getting old. But even if fans forget Kansas' seven-game road losing streak or the fact that it's lost four consecutive games despite having leads in the second half of each game. Saturday was still a sad day in the Mark Mangino era.
Mangino has taken the Jayhawks to two bowl games in the last three seasons, which is a drastic improvement from Kansas' two bowl appearances in the 20 years before he was hired. However, behind the window dressing of the bowl appearances are results unsatisfactory to those expected of Kansas football when Mangino was hired.
Baylor scored 19 points in 8:14 minutes of elapsed time. It took the Bears' offense the entire first half to put up 17 points, yet in just a matter of minutes, they were able to put up enough to send Kansas reeling to another loss.
In the two seasons under Mangino, Kansas failed to reach bowl games, it went a combined 6-17. Its conference record during that span was 2-14. Even the two years Mangino did take the Jayhawks to bowl games, they went 13-12 overall and 6-10 against Big 12 Conference opponents. And

son, plus a Texas A&M team full of in-state recruits who probably thought they were too good to play at Baylor. It's an accomplishment that Baylor is even in bowl contention.
But that's the difference between two programs going in different directions. While Mangino's results have been sporadic, Morriss has improved his winning percentage every year at Baylor. And until this season, Morriss had to do without the athletes necessary to run the spread offense. Now Morriss is two wins away from taking the Bears bowling.
And let's not forget the difference between the North and South divisions in the Big 12. Kansas has yet to win a conference game this year, even after playing the "easy" half of the South. Baylor has to play Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech every sea-
And the final kick to the groin for Kansas football is that its recent bowl appearances have done little for recruiting. According to rivals com, Baylor currently has the No. 31 ranked recruiting class for 2007. Kansas' class is No. 64.
Two years later, those chants have come to fruition against a nearly identical spread offense that Baylor coach Guy Morriss implemented just this season.
Kansas led that game 30-11 at halftime at home and chants of "Worse than Baylor" rained from the student section onto the Texas Tech sideline. When Mike Leach spread offense passed its way to a 31-30 victory, the Red Riders returned the "Worse than Baylor" taunts.
Obviously it's early in the recruiting process, but Kansas isn't playing well enough to sway recruits from schools like Baylor, North Carolina (No. 15), northwestern (No. 32), Kansas State (No. 43) or even Texas-El Paso (No. 59).
let's be honest; the Tangerine Bowl and the Fort Worth Bowl aren't going to figure into the BCS equation any time soon. The Tangerine Bowl doesn't even go by the same name anymore.
As for this season, don't count on putting back-to-back bowl appearances on Mangino's resume. A 4-8 record at this point is optimistic.
Barring a miracle, Mangino will have four losing seasons in five years, a 22-38 overall record and an 8-32 conference record. Take away those flashy bowl appearances and Mangino's numbers look a lot like Terry Allen's 20-33 overall and 10-30 conference records in five seasons. That's sad.
Now, saying that Saturday was a sad day for Kansas football is no reflection on Baylor. The Bears are a legitimate bowl contender this season. It's a reflection on Kansas' failure to take the next step from
merely reaching bowl games, and it all goes back to the Texas Tech game in 2004.
However, after eight weeks, Kansas is 3-5 when it should be 7-1. In year five of the Mangino era, "Worse than Baylor" jeers are no longer sarcastic jabs, they're fact. And still, in 2006, bowl games are a goal, not a given. That's sad.
Now don't confuse this column for a "Fire Mangino in '06" campaign. It isn't.

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Cornish, who had 136 of his careerhigh 196 yards in the first half, saw his carries begin to decrease in the third quarter. Mangino said he cut back Cornish's work load because of an injury.
"He's trying to fight through it," Mangino said. "We were trying to get him through this one. I don't discuss injuries, but yeah, he was injured."
With Cornish spending more time on the bench, at least the Jayhawks had the rushing game of freshman quarterback Kerry Meier.
"What?" Cornish said. "They assumed I was injured. I just got twisted up. I'm just fine. I could have kept going in the fourth quarter." Cornish said he was not asked by any coaches whether he was injured or not.
But if Cornish was injured, it was certainly news to him.
He sat out the fourth quarter of last week's loss against Oklahoma State with an injury.
It was the combination of Meier
Without Cornish and Meier, Kansas' offense sputtered, leaving the defense to protect an 18 point lead for just 15 more minutes.
and Cornish running the ball in the first half that helped Kansas build a 35-17 halftime lead. The defense also chipped in two turnovers, including a 28-yard interception return for a touchdown by freshman linebacker Ari Wright.
On each of the drives, Bell and his strong corps of receivers methodically shredded the Kansas defense one play at a time.
Then Meier was injured in the third quarter and sat out the rest of the game, after he was tackled out of bounds after a rushing play.
That's when the Bears began their comeback.
It was the same type of short passes that turned into big gains that the
Baylor quarterback Shawn Bell went 14-for-21 on his team's final three drives in the last 10 minutes.
Just as quickly as Baylor's offense showed why Kansas' pass defense ranks 117th in the Division I-A football, the Jayhawks bowl hopes have sunk just as fast.
jayhawks had seen in the two previous losses to Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. And once again, there was little they could do to stop it.
"This isn't unfamiliar territory for us," senior center David Ochoa said. "We did it last year, and this team has the mental fortitude to do it again."
Kansan senior sportswriter Ryan Schneider can be contacted at rschnider@kansan.com.
Sitting at 3-5, Kansas must win three of its next four games to qualify for a bowl game for the second straight season.
"I don't think we were on our heels." Wright said. "It just all happened so fast."

Brandon McAnderson, junior running back, is taken down by a Baylor player during Saturday's game. McAnderson gained 14 yards for Kansas but It was not enough for a victory against Baylor. The Jayhawks lost, 36-35.
UP OR DOWN
The Jayhawks have collapsed and failed to keep leads that caused them to lose the last three games played against mediocre opponents. Is it feasible for Kansas to turn things around and win another game?
It is very likely, in any other game, the season Kansas has had late lead in every game so far, and it will not two bad teams at home in conference and Kansas State. The question is whether the Jay Hawks can hold onto their lead and force more or allow a sweep.
Jack Connor
The Jayhawks will pull off at least one victory this season. Kansas probably won't be the favorite in any of the remaining four games, but the team has too much talent to end the season without a single Big 12 Conference victory.
Kyle Carter
The Jayhawks will pull off at least one victory this season. Kansas probably won't be the favorite in any of the remaining four games, but the team has too much talent to end the season without a single Big 12 Conference victory.
Kapsas only realisite chance to pick up a victory comes in the final weeks of the season when Kansas State visits Lawrence on Nov. 15. The past several weeks have marked a clear that unless offered by coordinator Nick Ouattara can keep the Kansas offense on the field during the second half, the most prograded Kapsas secondary will fail. In seguine the lead, competitively for Kansas, Kansas State. Despite a weak of jersey line and active defense, quarterback T.J. Warren with an offense as alarming as Kansas States, the Kansas Dek may almost be able to hold on opponent 90 percent of total offense.
Aster Furco
One would hope the Jayhawks could put a second half together and not collapse in every game this season. If Kerry Meier is healthy, they should be able to win both games at home. But as this team has taught us the last few weeks, nothing is a sure thing.
Kayvon Sarraf
Considering that the Jay Hawks return home and have games against Big 12 cupcakes Colorado and Kansas State, they should find a way to win. Call it optimism but if Kansas cannot figure out how to keep a double high lead in the second half, it will have a whole humidity list of problems to deal with in the off-season. After a hard week of practice, Manning should have the team ready to go Saturday.

ENTERTAINMENT 'Harry Potter' actor to perform nude in drama
NEW YORK — The world knows him as boy wizard Harry Potter. Now, Daniel Radcliffe wants the world to see him differently.
Next summer, the 17-year-old will take to a London stage in the Tony Award-winning drama
"Equus" and will perform nude during one scene, according Newsweek magazine in editions that will hit newsstands Monday.
"Part of me wants to shake up people's perception of me, just shove me in a blender," he told the magazine in an exclusive interview on the set of the fifth Harry Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
"It's a really challenging play, and if I can pull it off — we don't know if I can yet — I hope people will stop and think, 'Maybe he can do something other than Harry,'" he said.
In "Equus", Radcliffe will play a "troubled young man with a religious-erotic obsession with horses," the magazine reported.

ENTERTAINMENT Money thrown into crowd at concert. three injured
BALTIMORE — Morgan State University police are considering whether to pursue criminal charges against rapper Lil' Wayne after someone threw money into a crowd during a performance, causing a melee that left three young
women injured.
It was unclear whether Lil' Wayne or a member of his entourage flung the bills into the crowd, said university Police Chief Adrian Wiggins. The artist will not be invited back to the campus, university officials said.
Coleman said the majority of the cash consisted of $1 bills, but there were some $5, $10 and $20 bills.
Two women, both age 20, suffered leg injuries and were taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital. A third was injured but refused medical treatment.
"It was as dangerous a thing to do as standing in a crowded movie theater and shouting, 'Fire,'" said Clinton Coleman, a Morgan State spokesman.
The concert Thursday night at the university's Hill Field House, which holds about 4,000 people, also featured Busta Rhymes and
was sold out.
Vickie Charles, Lil' Wayne's publicist at Universal Music Group, did not respond to messages left by The Baltimore Sun seeking comment.
Lil' Wayne, whose legal name is Dwayne Michael Carter, was arrested in August on drug possession charges in Atlanta. He was nominated recently for three BET music awards.

Walk-on kicker's first career attempt gives Texas victory
BY SHAWN SHROYER
No. 5 Texas (7-1,4-0)-22
No. 17 Nebraska (6-2,3-1)-20
With less than 30 seconds to go in the game and Nebraska ahead by one, Texas kicker Ryan Bailey lined up for the hardest 22-yard field goal of his life. But the walk-on's first career attempt sailed true to give Texas a 22-20 lead for good.

The comeback victory gives college football pundits another week to campaign for a higher BCS ranking for the Longhorns.

Nebraskas' veteran quarterback Zac Taylor surpassed McCoy's passing yardage with 277 of his own and matched his touchdowns with two.

No. 20 Oklahoma (5-2, 2-1) – 24
Before Saturday, Oklahoma running back Allen Patrick's best single-game rushing performance was 52 yards against Middle Tennessee earlier this season. Who knew hed have a career day against a Colorado defense that was allowing only 77 rushing yards per game entering Saturday?
defense also picked up the slack in the absence of Adrian Peterson. The Sooners shut down the Buffaloes' offense, allowing just 39 passing yards and 113 total yards of offense.
The Sooners pounded Patrick at the Buffaloos 35 times and he responded with 110 rushing yards and a touchdown. The Oklahoma
Colorado's offensive woes continued as quarterback Bernard Jackson completed only 3-for-14 attempts, threw one interception and fumbled twice.
No. 23 Texas A&M (7-1, 3-1) - 34 Oklahoma State (4-3, 1-2) - 33 OT
Texas A&M is 7-1 for the first time since 2001 and the Aggies can only hope this season ends better than that one. That year the Aggies lost their last three regular season games before playing in the not-so-prestigious Galleryfurniture com Boid

Oklahoma State quarterback Bobby Reid didn't have the same luck. He was 3-for-6 for 39 yards and an interception before suffering a mild concussion, which forced him from the game. The Cowboys did receive a lift from Reid's replacement, Zac Robinson, who threw three touchdowns.

As it Kansas State fans needed any reminder that Bill Snyder is gone, Missouri ended its 13-game losing streak to Kansas State on Saturday. With the victory, Missouri is 7-1 for the first time since 1973.
Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel was on fire Saturday, completing 24-for-31 passes for 262 yards and four touchdowns. He was also second on the team with 47 rushing yards, lan Campbell led the Missouri defense with nine tackles (seven solo), recorded one sack and forced one fumble.
The struggles of Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman continued Saturday. The freshman completed just 5-for-19 attempts for 63 yards and was sacked four times.

The Lawrence Public Transit system and KU on Wheels plan to combine their routes and hope to begin coordinated service within the next year. The final decisions are expected by November.

Consulting company has made four proposals to fund new route combo
BY MARK VIERTHALER
All signs point to a merger of the Lawrence Public Transit system and KU on Wheels in the next several years.
By fall 2007, the two systems would begin coordinated service but would maintain separate funding. The two systems would then meld into one streamlined system, with one operating budget and administered by one governing board.
Leadership would comprise an equal number of representatives from the city and from the University. The University delegation would be further divided equally between administrators and students.
Dan Boyle, consultant for Dan Bowlie and Associates, said at a
Margaret Livingood, a landscape architect for the University, has helped with the development of a workable merger between the two systems.

Livingood said she estimated the two systems could be fully integrated by
ent his findings. Boyle plans to then meet with the Lawrence City Commission and KU on Wheels student administrators this week to

financing is available.
The biggest concern remaining is one of dollars and cents. Boyle said his company had created four different plans, depending on what
Without asking for any more money from students and taxpayer
ers, Boyle estimated the entire project would cost an inflation-adjusted $5.8 million in 2012.
Several routes would be combined by this proposal. The KU on Wheels route that runs through downtown would be ended and the frequency of a similar T route would be increased. A T route along 23rd Street and Clinton Parkway, would add a stop at the KU Park and Ride lot.
A second proposal, a 20 percent increase in revenue through five years, would add four buses to KU on Wheels. Students would also be given a fare-free pass, allowing them access to any bus, KU on Wheels or the T.
This funding increase is predicated on an increase in student fees. Currently, KU on Wheels is supported completely by student fees and user fares. The proposal envisions raising student fees to $50 from the current $22, which would have to be approved by the University's Student Senate and the Kansas Board of Regents and would likely also involve a student vote.
The city's contribution, based largely on taxation, is currently unresolved.
A third proposal would see a 33 percent increase in revenue and would mean the system merger could take less than five years. Two new lines would be added, one running from campus to the Reserve Apartments and one to the Legends Apartment complex.

Friends remember long-time teacher
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Family and friends gathered in Woodruff Auditorium on Monday afternoon for a memorial service for professor Bud Hirsch, who died Sept. 3 of a brain tumor.
The crowd erupted in laughter
when the lyrics of "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" began to play. One man bounced his leg and tapped his foot to the beat. Another nodded his head in time with the music

and the rest sat pensively, celebrating a dear friend they all shared; Bernard "Bud" Hirsch.
Hirsch, who was 61 when he died, worked at the University of Kansas for more than 30 years. He was a professor and adviser in the English department and an American Indian scholar.
Knowing his death was impend.
ing, Hirsch had carefully selected the music that would play during his memorial service. His brother Arnold Hirsch spoke of his love for that song, which refers to his hometown of Chicago.
"Bud was from Chicago. I guess if you knew him for a minute and a half you've figured that out," Hirsch said when the song ended. "He didn't keep any secrets."
The crowd was moved to tears — interrupted by bouts of laughter — as family and friends shared stories.
Hirsch said he and his brother talked on the phone every Sunday night. In every conversation, Hirsch said his brother talked about his students and advisees. Hirsch said his brother possessed great passion, loyalty and dedication, and that his brother's greatest passions were his wife Elaine and his students.

Wal-Mart proposal up for debate outcome to be decided as plans go before City Commission tonight
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
The fate of the proposed WalMart development in northwest Lawrence will be decided at tonight's City Commission meeting.
The proposed plan includes a 99,985 sq. foot Wal-Mart store at the northwest corner of 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive, a 6,147 sq. foot garden center and 21,500 sq. feet of commercial space for four pad site
Four of the five city commissioners must approve the proposal tonight or it would return to the Planning Commission for discussion before returning to the City Commission for approval. At that point, the City Commission would need only three votes in favor for approval.
Lawrence Metropolitan Planning Office, said because the zoning changes and the development proposal were separate applications, the zoning could be approved and the building proposal could be denied, or vice versa. For the entire development to be approved, both the zoning changes and the building proposal would have to be approved.
Lisa Pool, a planner with the
Before the proposal can be approved, the City Commission will vote to approve zoning changes at the corner. A 2.2-acre tract, currently zoned for residential development, and a 15.8-acre tract, zoned for commercial development with limited use, would both have to be rezoned to commercial development with revised use restrictions to meet the city's requirements.

Three KU architecture students beat out professional architects and won an award for the Best Unbuilt Project in the annual Monsters of Design competition.
Students win professional contest
Megan Hunziker, Ames, Iowa, graduate student, Mike O'Donnell, Florissant, Mo., senior, and Matt Pauly, Denton, graduate student, are members of the team that designed a new opera house for St. Louis, as part of their studio class at the University. The class is taught by architecture professors Stephen Grabow and Wojciech Lesnikowski.
Throughout the semester multiple teams in the class worked to develop a design for the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.

At the end of the class, Pauly
approached Grabow and asked if there was a competition in which he could enter his group's finished project. That's when Grabow told the group about the Monsters of Design competition.
"It was really quite stunning," Grabow said of when the winners were announced.
Grabow said if money could be raised, the opera house would be built and might incorporate the students' ideas.
Grabow said the goals he and Lesnikowski had for the project were lightness, transparency and high visibility as a cultural symbol.
The project incorporated all of those elements and was "dazzling," he said.

Higher Education
Holland: I'd like to see some incentive program be put forth by the legislature that would significantly cut costs of tuition for students. I believe there is a Georgia program that encourages students to work in the state after they graduate, I would like to see state incentives for kids to apply their knowledge in state. Basically we need to grow jobs here in Kansas.
Dunn: The cost of tuition reflects the times. Nationally tuition has gone up to meet the needs of colleges. I don't know what will slow down the phenomenon.
Garrard: Education should be separated from government to prevent controversies. Schools should be run like a business so customers can get what they want instead of having arguments about creationism and evolution. It should be run as a for-profit or non-profit to avoid problems like that.
Deferred Maintenance
Holland: Legislation needs to jump on that right away. I was on the legislative planning committee back in 2004 and Reggie Robinson (CEO of the Kansas Board of Regents) was talking to us about the issue then. I think it's imperative to the state we start working with the regent system to address those issues.
Dunn: There is $600 million. The
Kansas legislature is going to have to deal with this problem and will have to come up with the money somehow. It's not going to get any better if they don't take care of it.
Garrard: If maintenance really needs to be done and it's something that's been put off, I would look for places to cut and vote to fund that. I believe in the separation between school and state and I would look for other places in government to cut before I would fund that.
Economy
Holland: State government needs to provide a business environment conducive for outside businesses to come here and relocate. I think we do a pretty good job with our taxing policies and other business incentives now.
Dunn: I think this is a good opportunity. The economy in Kansas is just now recovering from 9/11 and Kansas offers a lot of opportunities for students just coming out of college. Baby boomers are approaching retirement and someone is going to have to take their place. I'm a baby boomer myself at 61 years and I'm thinking about retirement.
Garrard: I'm a capitalist. My belief is that the government doesn't need to regulate anything. I would repeal franchise fees that businesses have to pay state government. I would eliminate corporate income tax. One of the benefits is making education private to eliminate property tax and keep about $6 billion to $7 billion in
the pockets of the taxpayers instead of going back to the government.
Health Care
Holland: I introduced a plan for small businesses employees to be able to access the state health care program. As more and more graduates get out of school, they are going to work for more and more small businesses so I think it's important that everyone has access to affordable health insurance. It needs to be addressed on a national level. I'm in favor of a universal plan, but this is one way the state can come out.
Dunn: In Kansas, when people talk about health care the first thing that comes up in my mind is the rising cost of Medicaid. It's the fastest growing cost of finance in the state next to school funding. For college students it's an important issue because a lot of businesses don't offer health care and the cost of insurance is prohibitive. I think there needs to be an initiative to promote wellness and to keep the cost down.
Garrard: Health care should be restored to a free market. There are a lot of problems with health care because premiums are tax deductible so they are linked to the job instead of going through a private tax agent. I advocate eliminating state income tax and support limiting federal income tax so people would buy insurance through their tax agent. The medical industry is like any. The more government gets involved the more screwed up it's going to get.
Environment
Holland: I'm a big supporter of renewable energy. I support renewable energy. I think we ought to be using wind and nuclear energy. I think we need to curtail using coal fire plants. Or as new power plants come on I think we need to be looking at wind or nuclear sources to power them.
Dunn: The environment is a special concern of mine because I am a farmer and a rancher. I think farmers and ranchers have always been the stewards of the land to protect the environment. But we are hearing a lot about global warming now and I think it's a universal responsibility for everyone to come up with a solution to slow this process down. I think Kansas should have an initiative to promote biodiesel and ethanol protection. I think a lot of research should be done on hydrogen as a fuel source.
Garrard: I believe in the separation between government and state. I think the biggest polluter is the government and asking them to solve problems doesn't make sense. The solution is to make all property privately owned. Things like rivers and land that no one really knows about, the government can hire companies that can pollute it. So we need protection for private land.

Film portrays disabled people as'real'

Mark Zupan, center, stars in a documentary film Murderball, which chronicles the lives of the U.S. Paralympics rugby squad. Zupan will speak at 7:30 tonight in the Ballroom at the Kansas Union.
The film "Murderball" will be shown at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. in the Kansas Union. Between the two showings, Mark Zupan, captain of the U.S. Paralympic team that won the bronze medal in the Athens games in 2004, will speak at 7:30 p.m. in the Ballroom at the Kansas Union.
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Derek Zarda, Shawnee senior and a member of Able Hawks, said the documentary featured people with disabilities without focusing on the disabilities, which was "ground-breaking." The film didn't emphasize overcoming the challenge, he said rather it was about a "great sport" that was relatively new and exciting and the everyday lives of its players.
The film documented the intense rivalry and competition between the U.S. and Canadian Paralympic rugby teams.
Students will have two opportunities tonight to watch rugby athletes in wheelchairs slam full-forced into one another while moving a ball up and down a court.
"Hopefully you're not going to see it just to see people overcoming the odds," he said.
Zarda said he enjoyed a scene where a player talked about having sex because it addressed a topic that many people shied away from when interacting with people who had disabilities.
Katia Birge, president of Able Hawks and Denver senior, said the film depicted disabled people in a real way, as people with desires, failures, wishes, careers and families.
"We get frustrated" she said. "We have rage."
"It's not inspirational. It's not weird, it just real." Birge said.
Birge said that a lot of publications and movies portrayed people with disabilities as perfect, but that the perfection was untrue. Her favorite part of the film was when one of the players was really mad at life. Birge said that part was "beautiful" and showed him as a person with real emotions.
After his speech, Zupan will sign copies of his book "Gimp," which was released last week. In the book, he wrote candidly about his life.
Birge said that about 2,000 KU students had been documented with disabilities, but that more existed. Despite this large population, she said only one-third of buildings and the majority of buses were not accessible to students with disabilities.
SCIENCE
The event is part of Disabilities Awareness Month. It is free for students and $3 for non-students.

The Ralph N. Adams Institute for Bioanalytical Chemistry, which was dedicated Saturday, will bring together students and faculty from various departments to study diseases.

"The technologies developed in his lab here at KU are used virtually by every pharmaceutical company to determine the effectiveness of pharmacological treatments for depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and addiction to name a few," Lunte said.
Susan Lunte, who has been named the Ralph N. Adams Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and director of the institute, said the institute would bring greater national visibility to the chemistry department and its work to research diseases.

University of Kansas, said Saturday's dedication drew alumni from high-profile institutes across the country who had learned from Adams.
"I think naming this institute after somebody so high-profile will certainly help with the national recognition," Boatright said. "The more I've learned about Ralph Adams, the more impressed I am."
Adams, nominated for a Nobel Prize in 1997, died in 2002.
Lunte said she would bring researchers from the chemistry department together with those from other areas like physics and engineering.
Bioanalytical chemistry could strike some as an obscure area of study, Mario Rivera, professor of analytical chemistry, said the study combined analytical chemistry with biomedical research.
"The goal is to develop multidisciplinary projects with faculty in the life sciences and engineering that will lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, AIDS, Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease," Lunte said.

MEMORIAL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Gwen Griffin was one of Hirsch's students. She submitted a carefully cited paper complete with extensive research for his romantic poetry class in 1987, and he returned it to her with an insightful remark.
"Where are you in this paper? I want to hear your voice," he told her.
Griffin said Hirsch became a mentor, friend and colleague.
Before he died, Griffin called Hirsch every night and read poems, sang songs and read him the box scores for the Cubs and White Sox.
"He's always been in my corner," she said with tears streaming down her face.
Lara Mann, who graduated in May, said Hirsch was the first person to call her a poet. She joked that she made sure she had an hour to spare when she stopped by his office to
visit him.
Michael Yellow Bird, professor of Indigenous Nations Studies, said Hirsch was a brother. He was "someone you know you can count on" and "someone who conquers your heart," Yellow Bird said.
"His spirit to me was that of a master teacher," he said. "Our students sought him out."
James Carothers, professor of English, shared many meals with Hirsch and his wife Elaine, before she died some years ago. Carothers said both were "extraordinarily interested in other people", but he made sure to point out Hirsch's foibles as well. He said Hirsch would not be comfortable wearing wings and a halo.
Hirsch played poker with Carothers and a group of men for two decades. Carothers said Hirsch would often break into song during the games. Hirsch started going to the Lawrence Athletic Club during his wife's illness. Carothers said he transformed from a man who refused to have his picture taken, to one who would willingly pose for them. A photo of him grinning widely with his muscles protruding from a singlet was displayed prominently at the reception of his memorial service.
"He believed in me, even when I didn't. Even when I was picking up towels," Richards said.

Many of the Planning Commission's hesitations about the original proposal have been addressed. Revisions of the Retail Market Study and the traffic impact study were submitted.
Specific changes to the plan were also addressed. Those included the requirement to use 30 percent native materials — brick, stone and wood — to the exterior of the building.
the addition of more green space and the movement of one of the pad sites to the Wakarusa side of the development.
Angie Stoner, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman, said she thought the company had made the necessary changes for approval.
She said Wal-Mart had submitted a plan for the development of a store that "the city would be pleased with."
Wal-Mart and the city agreed to put a six-month hold on a lawsuit in which the store sued the city because Wal-Mart alleged it was illegally denied a building permit. That timeframe ends today. If the plan is denied or sent back to the Planning Commission, both sides would need to agree to an extension.
Stoner couldn't comment on what Wal-Mart would do if the plan wasn't approved.
City Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highberger said he hadn't made a final decision about how he would vote tonight. He said that although the changes made were substantial, he was not sure if they were enough.
"I'm not convinced yet that what was put forward complies," he said. "It's not unlikely that the proposal would go back before the Planning Commission."

Foley testimony continues
Committee investigates duration, knowledge of improper conduct
BY LARRY MARGASAK ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The House ethics committee questioned Speaker Dennis Hastert's top aide for more than six hours Monday, as investigators tried to determine whether Hastert's office knew at least three years ago of Rep. Mark Foley's comes on male pages.
Campaigning for a Republican candidate in Tennessee, Hastert said he plans to testify before the committee this week.
The closed-door testimony by Hastert chief of staff Scott Palmer could help determine who is telling the truth about when the speaker's office first learned of Foley's conduct. Hastert has said it was in the fall of 2005.
"What Mark Foley did was wrong. It was ethically wrong. It's a shame. It's actually disgusting." Hastert told reporters after a campaign rally.
In Washington, Palmer's lawyer, Scott Fredericksen, said his client hasn't changed his version of events. The Hastert aide has disputed one account that he personally was notified about Foley in 2002 or 2003.
Fredericksen said the testimony was "consistent with the position he's taken all along."
Palmer停 the longest time in the committee offices than any other
witness, entering at 1:57 p.m. and leaving at 8:18 p.m. This is the third week of testimony, as the committee tries to learn how the Republican leadership handled Foley's inappropriate conduct.
The speaker has a lot riding on the outcome. He has fended off calls for his resignation with statements that his staff acted properly after the 2005 notification, and quickly had a lawmaker and the House chief clerk confront the Florida Republican.
Hastert said he didn't learn about Foley until late September, when the scandal became public and Foley resigned.
The speaker's timeline could be shattered if the committee believes former Foley chief of staff Kirk Fordham, who already has testified before the ethics panel. Fordham has said publicly that he told Palmer about Foley in 2002 or 2003, and subsequently learned that Palmer spoke with Foley on the subject.
Hastert's version, issued as an internal report, said his staff learned in the fall of 2005 that Foley had sent overly friendly e-mails to a former Louisiana page. The report said the staff did not see the texts of the e-mails, which asked about the 16-

year-old's birthday and requested a picture.
The report said the speaker's office contacted then-chief clerk Jeff Trandahl, who went to confront Foley with Rep. John Shimkus, R-III, and chairman of the board that oversees the page program. They ordered Foley to immediately stop communicating with the youngster.
The report added that nobody in Hastert's office knew, until the messages became public, that Foley also had sent sexually explicit messages to other former pages.
Ironically, the internal report did not mention any role played by Palmer, despite his status as Hastert's top assistant.
The speaker has left himself one major escape route, publicly pledging to fire any of his staff members who were found to have covered up knowledge of Foley's conduct.

BUS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Jason Boots, student body president, said it was obviously necessary to increase student fees if students desired a universal fare-free system.
A fourth proposal envisioned virtually unlimited funding, which Boyle conceded was rather unrealistic.
The degree to which these fees would be raised depends largely on what improvements students want, he said.
Boyle recommended replacing current KU on Wheels buses — some as old as 20 years — with newer, used buses.
Boots said this would mean a higher increase than what would be needed to fund the elimination

Seth Lorimer, Overland Park senior, attended the meeting in an attempt to see the impact a merger might have on both the school and the city.
"It makes a lot of sense to merge the systems," Lorimer said. "The University should get involved with the city as a whole."

Actor puts Bel-Air home on market for $35 million
LOS ANGELES — Nicolas Cage is leaving Bair-Al.
The actor has put his home in the tony community on the market for $35 million.
He bought the seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom house for $7 million eight years ago.
Cage
The 11,000- square-foot Tudor-style home sits on an
PENGUAN
acre just above Sunset Boulevard. It has a two-story entrance, a front yard fountain, an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a two-bedroom guest house.
The 42-year-old actor won't be lacking for places to stay. He owns other homes in Southern California, and earlier this year bought a castle in Bavaria and a private island in the Bahamas, according to People magazine.
Cage won a best actor Oscar for "Leaving Las Vegas." Earlier this year he played a cop tracking a missing child in "The Wicker Man" and a Port Authority officer in the Oliver Stone film "World Trade Center."

There are five facilities proposed for California, with three along the Southern California coastline. One of the world's largest energy companies, Australianbased BHP Billiton, is seeking to build the terminal off the coast of Malibu and Oxnard. A decision is expected next year.
BHP officials say the terminals would provide a reliable source of low-polluting energy. Opponents, however, say the terminals would not meet clean air requirements and could be terrorist targets.

Brosnan, who hosted the protest, said his opposition to the terminals extends beyond the beach in his backyard. He plans to oppose other proposed terminals, including one in Long Beach and one in Port Hueneme.
'Harry Potter' star hopes to change image with play
NEW YORK—The world knows him as boy wizard Harry Potter. Now, Daniel Radcliffe wants the world to see him differently.
Next summer, the 17-year-old will take to a London stage in the Tony Award-winning drama "Equus" and will perform nude during one scene, Newsweek magazine reported in editions hitting newsstands Monday.
"Part of me wants to shake up people's perception of me, just shove me in a blender," he told the magazine in an exclusive interview on the set of the fifth Harry Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
In "Equus,"Radcliffe will play a"troubled young man with a religious-erotic obsession with horses,"the magazine reported.
Rapper may face charges for chaos during concert
BALTIMORE — Morgan State University police are considering whether to pursue criminal charges against rapper Lil' Wayne after someone threw money into a crowd during a performance, causing a melee that left three young women injured.
It was unclear whether Lil'
Wayne or a member of his entourage flung the bills into the crowd, said university Police Chief Adrian Wiggins. The artist will not be invited back to the campus, university officials said.
"It was as dangerous a thing to do as standing in a crowded movie theater and shouting, 'Fire,'" said Clinton Coleman, a Morgan State spokesman.
Coleman said the majority of the cash consisted of $1 bills, but there were some $5, $10 and $20 bills.
Two women, both age 20, suffered leg injuries and were taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital. A third was injured but refused medical treatment.
Lil' Wayne, whose legal name is Dwayne Michael Carter, was arrested in August on drug possession charges in Atlanta. He was nominated recently for three BET music awards.
Stolen notebook causes country music controversy
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A music publishing company says a 59-year-old notebook that once belonged to the late country singer Hank Williams and is now in the hands of two collectors was stolen from its offices.
Sony/ATV Music Publishing officials say they learned it was missing only after a Chicago Sun-Times article detailed how the collectors acquired the notebook, which contains lyrics to several unpublished Williams songs and has a value as high as $250,000.
The company filed a stolen property report with police on Sept. 20.
Stephen Shutts and Robert Reynolds said they acquired the notebook this past summer after being contacted by an older Nashville-area woman last November. Neither man is suspected of any role in a possible theft, though it's unclear if they might face penalties for possession of stolen property. The notebook remains in their possession.

Anna Nicole Smith leaves the U.S. Supreme Court on Feb. 28, 2006, in Washington. Smith did not appear Monday in the Bahamas for a meeting requested by the attorney for an ex-boyfriend who claims to be the father of the reality TV star's 6-week-old daughter.
Baby's paternity in question
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
— Anna Nicole Smith didn't appear Monday for a meeting in the Bahamas requested by the lawyer for an ex-boyfriend who claims he is the father of her 6-week-old daughter.
Photographer Larry Birkhead has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles seeking a court order to demand Smith bring the baby to California for a paternity test.
Debra Opri, a lawyer for Birk head who traveled from Los Angeles to take a deposition
from Smith in the Bahamas, said she would use Smith's non appearance Monday to argue for dismissal of that challenge.
Smith, 38, a reality TV star and former Playboy playmate, moved to the Bahamas while pregnant with Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern. Smith has said that her companion, lawyer Howard K. Stern, is the baby's father.
A Bahamian attorney for Smith said he believed Oprie needs to work through local courts to demand a test from
his client, who has obtained permanent residency in the islands.
A hearing is scheduled Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel died while visiting his mother in a Nassau hospital after the baby was born.
A private examiner has said Daniel Smith died from a lethal combination of methadone and two antidepressants.

OPINION
OUR VIEW
It's time for Giles to quit hiding from his responsibilities and provide child support. Being a student-athlete and a father is not impossible just look to former Jayhawk football player Eric Butler, who lost a year of eligibility because he decided to take care of his newborn daughter. He took his role as a father just as seriously as his duties as a defensive tackle.
Certainly, basketball is important at the University of Kansas but not nearly as important as family. Jayhawk nation would love to have Giles back on the court, but before he or coach Bill Self even considers the idea, he should worry more about being a father. Giles should sit in the stands until he can carry out his obligation of making payments to support his child.
Giles needs to get priorities straight
When we thought public perception of our athletics teams couldn't get any worse last weekend, it did when we were told C.J. Giles was suspended from the men's basketball team for academic and personal reasons. We found out the Seattle junior is the father of a 19-month-old child and owes thousands of dollars in child support.
Fighting tooth-n-nail for another year of eligibility, the NCAA denied Butler the opportunity to take the field for one more season. Giles could learn a thing or two about taking care of a child by following Butler's example.
Going to class, attending practice and taking care of a child is a challenge, but one that is obviously important. It may take some work, but that's what a father does. Jayhawk nation wants to see Giles back on the court, blocking shots and hitting jumpers, but it wants him to get his act together first. The team will still be here winning games when he's ready to come back.
C. J., wearing that crimson and blue jersey is a privilege. This means you must conduct yourself with integrity — on and off the court. So get your priorities straight and man up. You only play basketball at the University for four years but you'll be a father for a lifetime. We say working on your skills as a father is more important.

Public library worth expanding
As a Lawrence Public Library employee, I have seen firsthand how badly the library needs to be expanded. The shelves are full to bursting, and the library at its current size cannot properly serve the demands of its patrons. Unfortunately, the library expansion project has been put on the back burner again and again by the city and Lawrence residents, as the library cannot garner the financial support necessary. Many people have been reluctant to support an expansion because they feel the library is not valuable enough to the community to justify the price tag of the expansion, which could run as high as $23 million, according to the library's Web site.
I was appalled to see a column by Mark Hirschey in the Lawrence Journal-World on Oct. 2 that called libraries "obsolete," "limited" and "inefficient" in light of the development of the Internet. First, this statement focuses only on the research capacity of the library and omits all the other services it provides. Secondly, since when did the Internet become a reliable source for research projects?
Admittedly, in the area of research capabilities, a public library simply does not have the same volume of research materials as university libraries. The library does have a large non-fiction section and patrons can request specific materials through inter-library loan. However, Anschutz and Watson alone have more than one million

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
But despite these advantages, the University libraries are not as accessible to people who are not University students or faculty, especially with the parking limitations and the inability to take books home. They also serve an older age group and do not have many research resources for children and young adults.
Online sources simply do not hold up against the tried-and-true methods of library research. Yes, it's quicker and easier to sit at home and look online for facts than taking the time to go to a library and search the shelves, but children taught this method will have a rude awakening when coming to college or even high school. Many professors limit the number of Internet sources used in a research paper to few or none, preferring to have students use more dependable sources such as books or academic journals.
I can also say from firsthand experience that many patrons do not come to the public library to do formal research but to check out fiction, children's books and
movies. For people who love to read but cannot or do not want to spend money on the latest best-sellers, the library allows them to read a much greater number of books than if they had to buy each one. Maybe Hirschey has the funds to buy all the books he wants to read, but I (and many other patrons and poor college students) do not. Also, unless I am mistaken, it's a little difficult to read a bedtime story to your child from the Internet.
The problem with Hirschey's argument is that it trivializes all the other uses of the library. Yes, the Internet is a good source of information; yes, University libraries have a greater capacity for research. But there are many other things the public library offers that its competitors cannot: story time for children; video game nights for young adults; easy and free access to the Internet for those who don't have it at home; and free film festivals and other cultural events.
Opinions like Hirschey's are uneducated, and they are holding the Lawrence Public Library back. Maybe he has not been to the library in awhile, but it seems that he is simply not aware of all it has to offer. Come on in to the library, Hirschey, or anyone else who thinks the expansion of the library is ridiculous. I'll show you around and make you a convert.

In the article, the author cited a study by a mechanical engineering professor who claimed there was as much as twenty times more tar in hookah tobacco than in cigarettes. I have a problem with this because every single box of hookah tobacco that I have purchased in the last four years has said "0.0 percent tar" on the box.
This is in response to the article "Hookah smoking as bad as cigarettes." I have been an avid smoker of the hookah for about four years. Although I know the practice is hardly healthy, I do not think that there is enough evidence in the article or elsewhere to state that smoking the hookah is just as bad as cigarettes.
> LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I also have a problem that the article cited a mechanical engineer expert in an article about health. I do not know about you, but I would not take medical advice from a mechanical engineer, and he is by far not an expert in the area. I agree that smoking hookah tobacco is hazardous to one's health, but there is not enough credible evidence in the article to claim that it is equal to cigarettes. More relevant sources should be taken into consideration the next time a definitive claim is made about health.

I am pleased to see someone speaking out about the juvenile behavior of some KU sports fans ("Fans take college rivalries too seriously, act immature," 10/16). Last year, I attended the KU-UT basketball game in Austin. I went with my son and his father-in-law, both of whom are UT grads. A group of KU fans sat behind us, and they were totally obnoxious most of the game. It was bad enough that KU got their butts beat soundly, but the behavior of the KU fans just added insult to injury.

Human remains still appearing
BY SARA KUGLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — As the city agency overseeing the removal of the World Trade Center rubble was wrapping up its work in 2002, several officials handling the painstaking recovery of human remains warned that things were moving too fast.
A utility crew stumbled upon body parts last week in an abandoned manhole along the edge of the site, and forensic experts have since dug down and found more than 100 bones and fragments from skulls, ribs, arms, legs, feet and hands.
They believed that more pieces of the 2,749 dead could be found, and that the city shouldn't be rushing such an important task. But they were overruled, two of those officials told The Associated Press this week.
During the past few days, dozens of bones have been discovered in underground passages at ground zero, more than five years after the tragedy.
The discoveries have angered and saddened relatives of the Sept. 11 victims. Of the 2,749 people who were killed that day, the remains of some 1,150 have not been found. That means that families of 40 percent of the victims have nothing — not a sliver of a bone — left of their loved ones.
The notion that rescue workers
were rebuffed by a city eager to finish the job could help shed light on why the remains are being discovered only now. The area where bones are being found is one where officials had raised objections.
The officials said they repeatedly aired their concerns to the agency in charge, the Department of Design and Construction, which was later praised for its speedy, under-budget cleanup of 1.5 million tons of trade center debris.
Deputy Mayor Ed Skyler, who is overseeing the renewed search, said a review of such issues would be premature, but noted that the Fire Department was designated as the lead agency for finding remains, and that DDC proceeded with its work only when the FDNY gave the go-ahead. The Department of Design and Construction had no comment.
According to the two officials, FDNY rescue workers were among those who resisted the Department of Design and Construction. However, Fire Department spokesman Frank Gribbon said Monday that reports of objections were exaggerated. Each day, DDC convened planning meetings with all the parties involved, including engineers, emergency responders and a range of other city agencies.
The project finished months ahead of city officials' yearlong prediction, and cost about $750 million — just a fraction of the initial multibillion-dollar estimate.
ELECTION 2006
Candidate contests appointing system
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA—Republican gubernatorial challenger Jim Barnett says he wants to see a change in how Kansas Supreme Court justices are appointed, but Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said she favors the current system.
The two candidates debated Monday at a Rotary Club meeting in Wichita, during which Barnett argued that having attorneys involved in the Supreme Court nominating process creates a conflict of interest.
A nine-member nominating commission, five of whom are attorneys, screens applications from prospective justices and picks three finalists.
The final choice then rests with the governor.
Barnett also criticized some Supreme Court decisions, including a 2005 ruling on the constitutionality of the state's school financing system that forced legislators to increase spending. He said that decision led to the court essentially appropriating money.
Barnett proposed a system that
mirrors the federal system, in which the governor would appoint justices and the Senate would confirm them, with no nominating commission.
But Sebelius noted that the process was put in place in Kansas nearly 50 years ago to correct what was seen as an overly political system.
Pumpkin pride
Justices used to be elected to six-year terms, but voters changed the system in response to what became known as "the Triple Play."
Bebelius, who is seeking a second term, said it would be dangerous to change the selection process because people don't like the court's decisions.
The candidates also disagree on whether the State Board of Education should retain its power of education policy, with Sebelius saying again Monday that she would support a change.
The governor said the current school board isn't accountable to taxpayers, parents and business leaders. Its 10 members are elected and pick a commissioner to run the Department of Education.

SAFETY
Overcrowded dorm elevator kills student
BY DOUG WHITEMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Twenty-four people had crowded onto a dormitory elevator before it pinned and killed an Ohio State University freshman, exceeding its weight capacity by as much as 1,100 pounds, a fire official said Monday.
He said the elevator had a capacity of 2,500 pounds. "If you take the average freshman college kid, you'd probably average their weight somewhere between 140 and 150 (pounds), so without a doubt it probably exceeded the weight," Smith said.
The count came from a medic who interviewed survivors immediately after the Friday night accident, said Doug Smith, a battalion chief for the Columbus Division of Fire.
However, authorities have not concluded that the extra weight caused the elevator to malfunction, and the case remains under investigation.
"We can't speculate or draw any conclusions at this point until we have all the facts." Ohio State spokeswoman Shelly Hoffman said.
Andrew Polakowski was the last person to enter the elevator on Stradley Hall's third floor when it began to descend with the doors open, campus police said.
Polakowski, 18, of Erie, Pa., was pinned when he tried to escape through a gap between the top of the elevator and the third floor, police said.
Polakowski had chest and abdominal injuries and died of asphyxia, Franklin County Coroner Bradley Lewis said.
The state Department of Commerce released documents showing the elevator had passed every safety test conducted by Otis Elevator Co. going back to 2003, including the most recent one, conducted July 24.
Some students said they have had minor problems with elevators in the 11-floor dormitory, which has more than 400 residents.
University President Karen Holbrook told school officials to arrange for an independent review of all dormitory elevators.

Kansas continued its losing streak when it fell to Baylor 36-35 in Waco, Texas, on Saturday. The Jayhawks once again gave up the lead during the fourth quarter causing them to lose the game, which seems to have become a common occurrence.
Fourth quarter continues to plague all aspects of team's performance
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
After four straight close losses, the fourth quarter can certainly be identified as Kansas' nemesis.
In the fourth quarter of the past three games — losses to Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and Baylor — Kansas has been outscored 54-19. In the first three quarters, the Jayhawks put up an average of 22 points. But in the fourth quarter, Kansas has put up an average of only four points.
This lack of fourth-quarter scoring and the defense's propensity to give up big points have been the primary reason for Kansas' struggles in the last month.
"We've certainly had some breakdowns in all phases: kicking game, as well as offense and defense," Nick Quartaro, offensive coordinator, said Monday. "To be honest, we're a play away in many, many cases."
The frustration after a month's worth of close calls is finally beginning to set in.
The good news for Kansas is that despite serious injury problems on both offense and defense, the scores have been close in all its losses this season. The flip side, though, is that the Jayhawks have had the lead late in every game and couldn't manage to hang on to it.
"How many times is this going to happen where we're in the fourth quarter with a lead?" Jon Cornish, senior running back, said after Saturday's game. "Me, it's unacceptable. We're going to do the things necessary to prevent it from happening — again."
Preventing these fourth-quarter collapses, Kansas coach Mark Mangino has said all season, comes from working in practice. The team needs continual practice because of the number of young players, especially on the defense. Injuries and graduation of last season's starters have forced Mangino and his staff to put younger players on the field.
"Defensively, at one point Saturday, we had seven redshirt freshmen and a couple true freshmen in action for us," Quartaro said. "Those kids are learning on the run and actually getting better all the time."

Senior wide receiver Jonathan Lamb was named as a semifinalist for the Draddy Award. The award honors players who excel in academics, football and community service. It's given out each year by the National Football Foundation and the College Football Hall of Fame. Lamb made the first start
of his career in Saturday's loss at Baylor. He had two punt returns, including a 52 yard return deep into Baylor territory.

Senior running back Jon Cornish recorded his 10th 100-yard game, moving him to sixth on the all-time list. His next 100-yard game would tie him for fourth place, with Kansas great Gayle Sayers.

Arm injury leaves starting quarterback's status unknown for next game
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Running back Jon Cornish should be ready to play this Saturday against Colorado, but the health of quarterback Kerry Meier's right arm is still unknown.
After the starting running back and quarterback suffered injuries on Sunday during Kansas' loss, one player's status remains unclear.
Cornish appears to be fine after he was taken out of Saturday's game by coach Mark Mangino. The running back was seen limping in the second half, but after the game Cornish disputed the injury claims and said he could have played the rest of the game.
In the first half of Saturday's loss at Baylor, Cornish had 134 yards on 13 carries and two touchdowns. However, in the second half, when he was seen limping off the field, Cornish had just nine carries for 62 yards.
"We anticipate that with good
As for Meier, who left Saturday's game after being tackled out of bounds at the end of the third quarter, his status for the Colorado game is still uncertain. Quartaro said Meier would be receiving treatment on Monday, the team's off day. He said Meier's game status would become more clear after Tuesday's practice.

This is the second injury for Meier in the past month. On Sept. 23 in Toledo, Meier was injured early in the fourth quarter when he was tackled after a rushing play. Following Saturday's loss at Baylor, Mangino said the injury Meier suffered this week was similar to the one he sustained in Toledo.
The injuries to both Meier and Cornish seemed to affect the offense in the fourth quarter. Without the threat of the quarterback rush with senior Adam Barmann in the game, Baylor was able to crowd the line of scrimmage and stop Cornish and his backup, freshman Jake Sharp.
Meier missed three games earlier this season because of the injury in the Toledo game.
"I don't know if it was Jon's situation as much as the overall situation we were trying to do, which was obviously move the football and yet still be as efficient as we can be moving the chains and trying to put points up." Quartaro said. "It didn't really change anything too dramatically at all."
Quartaro said the injuries had no effect on the game plan.

Dugout a family affair for freshman

Most of Brett Bochy's fellow Jayhawks were just beginning to climb the little-league ladder at 8 years old.
ted through their local sand-lots, Bochy was suited up as the Padres batboy from 1995-1998. During that time, Bochy spent much of his time at Qualcomm

Stadium in San Diego, where his father, Bruce, was the team's manager.
"I try not to get too into it and stay down now." Brett said.
Low-key and humble about his upbringing, Bochy admits that baseball, particularly the Major League type, and the Padres have always been a part of his life.
His dad's illustrious career at the helm of the Padres is merely the latest achievement he has accomplished in the sport.
Before Brett's dad became the active manager ranked fourth in wins with his current club — behind Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Tony LaRussa — Bruce Bochy was a major-league catcher. He spent the last six years of his playing career with San Diego and its AAA affiliate before joining the Padres' minor-league coaching staff. From there, Bochy moved up to coaching third base for the Padres for two years before he was offered the manager position prior to the start of the 1995 season. He wrapped up his 12th season as the Padres manager earlier this month, a position he has held for more than 60 percent of Brett's life.
"I knew he was interested in going to a four-year school," Price said. "He wanted that atmosphere of a major university. He wouldn't have gotten that by going to a junior college."
Price was happy to hear Bochy's intent and signed him as a Jayhawk earlier this year. Bochy was across the country in Lawrence while his dad's team went 88-74 this season and collected its second consecutive National League West pennant.
"Obviously Brett comes from one of the best baseball families in the country." KU coach Ritch Price said.
Price met the incoming freshman when Brett was 12 years old. At the time, Brett's brother, Greg, was playing for Price at Cal Poly. Price's son and fellow incoming freshman, Robby, became friends with Brett and the two kept in touch after Price left California to take over as the baseball coach at Kansas.
Bochy said his brother's experience with Price at Cal Poly influenced his decision to come to Kansas. He called Price and told the coach he wanted to be a Jayhawk.
With plans to fly home to Poway, Calif., for fall break, Bochy saw the silver lining when the St. Louis Cardinals ended the Padres' post-season.
"I'm sure he was disappointed," Brett said. "But it was cool also that they didn't go any further. I got the chance to hang out with him."
Brett said even though baseball kept his dad busy, growing up with a big leaguer in the house was easier than it might seem.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Injuries keep players out for regular season
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Oklahoma won its first game without Big 12 rushing leader Adrian Peterson. Now, the Sooners face a Missouri team that will play its first game without one of the league's top defenders.
Tigers defensive end Brian Smith, the school's career sack leader, broke his right hip last weekend and is done for the regular season. Coach Gary Pinkel still can't explain how the injury occurred.
"If you saw that film, you'd say there's no way in the world he even got hurt," Pinkel said Monday on the Big 12 coaches teleconference. "He just kind of turned and kind of stumbled. There was not hardly any contact at all. It was just as freakish as you could ever imagine."
Since he has to be on crutches for six to eight weeks before any kind of rehabilitation, it's unlikely that Smith would be able to return and play in a bowl game. The senior is tied for third in the Big 12 with 7 1/2 sacks this season, and has 31 1/2 in his career.
Smith got hurt in the second half of Missouri's 41-21 victory over Kansas State on Saturday, the same day the Sooners beat Colorado 24-3 in their first game since Peterson broke his collarbone falling into the end zone.
No. 19 Oklahoma (5-2, 2-1 Big 12), which will need help to win the Big 12 South because of its loss to Texas, plays at Saturday at No. 23 Missouri (7-1, 3-1), the North co-leader with No. 20 Nebraska (6-2, 3-1).
Peterson, who hopes to return for a bowl game, was on the sideline last weekend in a hooded sweat shirt and cap. The 2004 Heisman Trophy runner-up was encouraging teammates and his replacement, Allen Patrick, who ran 35 times for 110 yards and a touchdown.
"As much attention as Adrian gets, he's not a selfish guy and is more team-oriented," coach Bob Stoops said. "He realizes he still has a place on the team being a leader. He's just doing what's natural to him."
The Sooners keep moving forward, even after losing Peterson and starting quarterback Rhett Bomar before the season began.
"That's just a great program," Pinkel said. "It's not a surprise. They have great athletes. When they lose somebody, somebody else steps up their game. They're impressive. They keep getting better and better."
Especially on defense.
After holding Colorado to a season-low 113 yards, the Sooners have the Big 12's top-ranked defense (267 yards per game).

On Saturday, Western Kentucky (3-4, 3-1 Gateway Conference) beat Southern Illinois (5-2, 2-2) 27-24 in Carbondale.
The coaching staff will continue to prepare for Southern Illinois' next game at Missouri State on Saturday. Salukis defensive coordinator Tracy Claes said.
The sixth-year head coach had a seizure a year ago during a game
"You've got a city like Detroit, you've got a city like St. Louis enjoy this, and it would be neat to get something finalized because it's good for the game," Chicago White Sox designated hitter Jim Thome said.
While baseball had eight work stoppages from 1972-95, the new deal guarantees labor peace through the 2011 season.
"Baseball is at an all-time high point right now," Detroit left fielder Craig Monroe said before Game 2 of the World Series. "You've got low-market teams doing well and different teams winning every year. Getting this done couldn't have come at a better time."
"Everybody's pretty happy with the industry. In baseball, everybody's making out pretty well," Cardinals reliever Jason Isringhausen said.
Most of the key provisions of the current contract will be continued with minor modifications, such as revenue sharing and the luxury tax. With the luxury tax set to expire on Dec. 19, there was pressure on management to make a deal to ensure that the 2007 season would be played with the tax in place.
Since baseball's first labor contract in 1968, there have been strikes in 1972, 1980, 1981, 1985 and 1994-95, and management lockouts in 1973, 1976 and 1990. The last strike lasted 7 1/2 months and wiped out the World Series for the first time in 90 years, and for many teams it took years to rebuild attendance.

Injured Cardinal crucial for success

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman David Eckstein makes a play at second base against Ramon Santiago in the second inning of Game 2 of the World Series on Sunday In Detroit. Eckstein continues to play despite a shoulder injury.
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — David Eckstein, the little engine that drives the St. Louis Cardinals, is in need of a tuneup.
The team values the 5-7, 165-pound shortstop and leadoff hitter for his contagious, infectious, go-go attitude as much as for the more tangible contributions. During the NLCS, general manager Walt Jockett referred to Eckstein as the "pulse" of the team.
"He's a leader in this clubhouse, he's a leader on the field and he comes every day to play the game as hard as he can," ace pitcher Chris Carpenter said. "He's a big part of this club."
But it has been a struggle for a while now for Eckstein, who has been worn down by injuries since June. The latest setback: a sprained left shoulder making a diving stop on Jose Reyes' infield hit on the first pitch of Game 5 of the NLCS.
Since then he has taken fewer batting practice cuts than his teammates and avoided unnecessary throws to conserve himself for the games. He skipped everything on the off day before Game 3 on Monday at Busch Stadium while the rest of his teammates went through a mandatory workout.
Eckstein's defense has not been affected, although he's had no success at the plate in the World Series or much in the postseason overall.
"I limit all the stuff I do before the game."
"I limit my swings in the on-deck circle, limit batting practice;" Eckstein said. "If the other guys are taking three sessions in the cage, I'll take one or two.
the postseason with two extra-base hits, a homer and a double, and two RBIs.
Eckstein, who batted .292 in the regular season, is 0-for-9 against the Tigers with a strikeout and a double-play ball to end the eighth inning in the Cardinals' 3-1 game 2 loss. He is hitting .160 overall (8-for-50) in
Trainer Barry Weinberg said the latest injury is not so severe that Eckstein wouldn't have tried to play through it during the regular season. Weinberg also noted the heart factor.
"Is he 100 percent? No. Is he playable? Yeah," Weinberg said. "So he plays. That's David, that's his nature. He pushes on and he doesn't want to not be in the lineup."
"Unfortunately, he's been banged up," Weinberg said. "He plays so hard a lot of times it catches up with him.
"But you can't tell him to back off his game, because that's not who he is."

New schedule brings Jayhawks home sooner
The Kansas baseball team released its 2007 season schedule Monday.
BY ALISSA BAUER
The major difference in the Jayhawks' 2007 schedule is time they will spend at home. The home opener is slated for Feb. 9, when Kansas will play host to a non-conference familiar face, South Dakota State University, in a three-game series.
The Feb. 9 start at Hoglund is the earliest home game recorded in the past 20 years.
Last season, Kansas played 14 games on the road before its first home contest. Besides practice, the Jayhawks didn't set foot in Hoglund until the first weekend in March.
Big 12 Conference giant, the University of Texas, comes back to Lawrence April 5 to 7. The Jayhawks won the series two games to one the last time Texas came to Hoglund. Fellow NCAA tournament heavyweight, Wichita State, will again square off against Kansas in Lawrence March 14 and in Wichita April 18.
There are tentative plans for Kansas to take on border rival Missouri, which is also in the 2006 NCAA super regionals, in Kauffman Stadium. Should the plans hold up, the game is set for
April 25.
The majority of non-conference opponents the Jayhawks are slated to face in the upcoming season have been a part of their schedules for consecutive seasons, including the University of Hawaii-Hilo. Kansas will open its season there, Feb. 1 to 4 for the fifth straight year.
The new faces, however, will undoubtedly bring plenty of weight to Kansas' strength of schedule in the RPI rankings due out early next spring.
Oral Roberts and Arkansas highlight the new additions to the 2006 Big 12 Conference tournament champions' schedule. Both teams played in last season's NCAA tournament, with Oral Roberts advancing to the super regionals. Kansas will face the two teams for five games total, only one of which will be at Hoglund Ballpark. Oral Roberts will travel to Lawrence on April 10, while the first game of the pair is in California on Feb. 27 directly after Kansas wraps up a three-game series against Stanford Feb. 23 to 25.
The Arkansas series is a three game stint on the road March 9-11.

"It's not bad at all," he said. "The toughest part was during the spring in high school. It was tough that he didn't get to go to my games. But my mom didn't work, so she was always there."
As a California boy constantly exposed to his dad's work, Brett has had unique experiences like participating in batting practice with the team. He has a big spot in his heart for the San Diego Padres, but is just as big a fan of the Seattle
Mariners and does not necessarily see himself playing for the Padres or for his dad in the future.
"That would be cool to play for him someday," Bochy said. "It's not like something I'm really hoping to do, but it would be really nice."

'Late Night' to bring back
'Skelevision' on Halloween
You become more creative as you take on more responsibility. Does that seem strange? It's perfectly natural.
NEW YORK — Watching Conan O'Brien's "Late Night" on Halloween may be a scary proposition — the entire episode will be in "skelevision."
Associated Press
"Skelevision"appears a close cousin to a previous "Late Night" episode done entirely in clay animation.
The Oct. 31 edition will be a painstakingly reconstructed rerun of a show last May, with all featured performers appearing as skeleton puppets, NBC announced Monday. The episode featured Larry King.
"Late Night" has done a show from a Circle Line boat circling Manhattan, redid the show as an infomercial and aired a travelogue to Finland.

Suprising upset for Chiefs
Turnovers, defensive errors prevent Chargers from dominating
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Don't ask Kansas City Chiefs coach Herm Edwards to explain how his team managed to beat one of the AFC's top teams one week after one of the most lopsided losses in franchise history.
"I've been in this league a long time, and I don't know," Edwards said Sunday after Lawrence Tynes' last-second field goal lifted the Chiefs to a 30-27 victory against the San Diego Chargers.
They seemed like a different team altogether from the confused group that trailed 31-0 at halftime in Pittsburgh a week ago, en route to a 45-7 loss to the defending champion Steelers _ Kansas City's worst defeat in a non-strike season in 22 years.
"You don't (explain it). You never see that coming as a coach." Edwards
said. "But the good part is how you react after something like that. We react pretty good."
With Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez having one of the greatest games of his outstanding career, the Chiefs (3-3) took a 20-3 lead and seemed head to a rout of their old AFC West rivals.
Tynes seemed like an unlikely savior at end, considering he had already missed both a field goal and an extra point. Yet, after Gonzalez caught passes for 18 and 19 yards in a last-minute drive, Tynes set up to try a game-winner from 48 yards out with six seconds left.
The kick was good, but didn't count. A procedure penalty on
Kris Wilson moved the ball back 5 yards.
The big crowd and more than a few players groaned. They fell silent before roaring again after Tynes boomed it through from 53 yards and the Chiefs got a much-needed win after the debacle in Pittsburgh.
Gonzalez caught six passes from Damon Huard for 138 yards and Larry Johnson rushed for 132 against the Chargers' vaunted defense.
Tomlinson had 66 yards as the Chargers totaled just 97 yards on the ground and committed turnovers on three of their first four possessions.
A victory would have put the Chargers in a commanding position over the Chiefs in their division.
"We had too many errors," San Diego coach Marty Schottenheimer said. "Too many errors on defense. Too many errors on offense. We didn't get the job done in any phase, and that includes coaching."

Ed Zuroa/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Lawrence Tynes runs off the field after leading the Chiefs to an improbably victory against the highly regarded San Diego Chargers on Sunday. Tynes' last-second, long-distance field goal made the difference in the 30-27 victory.

Commission delays Wal-Mart decision again
BY MARK VIERTHALER
It was another late night talking about Wal-Mart for the Lawrence City Commission without any tangible result.
The proposed rezoning authorization was tabled for further consideration for an undefined time.
The proposed development of the
128,000 square feet of area northwest of Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive was denied by the commission 3-2 after three hours of discussion.
This denial effectively sent the proposal back to the city's Planning Commission for continued review.
Commissioner David Schauer said he was uncomfortable voting on the issue based on plans that
nad not been seen by the Planning Commission. He requested more public hearings be held on the subject.
Mayor Mike Amyx echoed this same discomfort and requested an increased study on the traffic around Wakarusa. He also requested a new traffic study be done on south Iowa near the existing Wal-Mart to have a
comparison available.
Todd Thompson, the attorney for Wal-Mart, said there was no need for more public hearings to be held on the subject.
"Are there a few new shrubberies? Yes?" he said. "Is there a new sidewalk or two? Yes. But that's the only difference."
Thompson said the commission
should consider passing the proposal because they have also reduced the original property request from 154,000 square feet two years ago, to the current 128,000 square feet.
Ray Frankenberg, a site engineer for Wal-Mart, presented the changes that have been made to the plan, including the increase in greenery and the ability to convert part of the
parking to a city street by placing the main store far back on the lot.
Concerns about traffic and the economic impact on Lawrence were the two main issues raised by citizens.
Kirk McClure, associate professor of urban planning, said the commis-
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Sanctions limit visits for recruits
Expense-paid trips for potential players reduced from 12 to 8 for next two years
BY C.J. MOORE
Bill Self likes to get recruits to visit campus, unless the recruit is someone like Julian Wright.
Wright told Self he wanted to be a Jayhawk before he had ever been on campus. Because the NCAA Committee on Infractions reduced the number of official visits for the men's basketball team from 12 to 8 for the next two seasons, Self may have to get more recruits to commit without visits to compensate for the reduction. The loss was a sanction for violations made in the program.
"You have to figure out who you

been speculation that sophomore guard Brandon Rush will turn pro after this season. The addition of Aldrich would mean that if Rush departed, Kansas could still sign only one more player. So far this year, Kansas has brought in three recruits on official visits and still has five remaining, although Self said he planned not to use all of them.
With five seniors on next year's roster - six if Giles returns - Self will have at least five spots to fill for the 2008-09 roster and only eight visits to fill them.
meats and entertainment for a prospect. The other option, an unofficial visit, can be made anytime during an athlete's high school career, but the recruit must pay his own way. The team can provide passes to a game to the recruit, though.
"It only takes four or five guys to bring in to say no, and now you're out of official visits."

Self said he is not too worried about the reduction's effects this year. If junior C.J. Giles remains off the team, Kansas will have only one scholarship to offer next season, and high school senior Cole Aldrich from Jefferson High School in Bloomington, Minn., has already verbally committed to the team.
Self said there was a possibility that an underclassman would leave after this season. There has

out of official visits," Self said. "You work your butt off so you can get them to campus and then you've got to sell them when they get to campus."
With limited opportunities for official visits, Self could convince recruits next season to visit unofficially, which they can do an unlimited number of times. Self said there are typically 15 to 20 unofficial visits during the season; however, because most the recruits do not live close to Lawrence, it's difficult for them to drive in for a weekend.

Self said that campus visits are a critical step in getting players to sign.

Students suggest changes
BY BEN SMITH
The Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success has one big question for students: What's the one thing you would change at KU if you had the opportunity?
Armed with free bottled water and clip boards, representatives from Student Success stopped students on Wesco Beach on Tuesday to ask their opinions.
Emilie Durgan, Lawrence sophomore, stopped to respond. "If you have asked me last year, I would have said parking tickets," Durgan said. "I guess maybe it seems like KU costs so much, what
with tuition and books. The cost of living is going up and wages don't
Matt Lindberg, Plano, Texas, junior, said one of the things he might have asked for was a better football team.
While some students just passed by the small table, others whom Tuttle approached answered seriously, and also not so seriously.
Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for student success, and directors from the KU Writing Center, Legal Services for Students and other departments initiated the informal survey as part of the monthly Stop 'N' Talk on Wescoe Beach.
Chris Harris, Pamona junior, said he would like a more comprehensive enrollment process with a more accessible timetable.
"Really I think I'd like to see some universal parking permits," Lindberg said.
"And instead of working to get more parking lots, why not work for fewer cars," Harris said.
Tuttle said Student Success started Stop 'N' Talk last year in an effort to reach out to students to let them know that 20 units and more than 900 employees of Student Success were available to assist them with their academic and personal goals.
"We will take many of the responses we get and post them on our Web site," Tuttle said. "We will allow discussions and let students know what referrals we made to some of the questions and responses."
The Student Success Web site is www.vps.ku.edu.
Lindberg said he thought it was good that the University was stepping out to talk to students.
"How else are you going to learn what students think if you don't ask them?" Lindberg said.

ELECTION 2006:
Decide for yourself
3rd district candidates focus on national security, health care, debt
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Rep. Dennis Moore is faced by challengers Republican Chuck Ahner and Robert Conroy, who is running on the reform ballot.
Candidates running for the 3rd district U.S. House of Representative
Moore, a Democrat from Lenexa, has served as the 3rd district congressman since 1998. Ahner is the senior vice-president and chief technology officer of Midland Loan Services in Overland Park. Repeated efforts to contact Conroy were unsuccessful.
seat are focusing on national security, debt and education.
Moore said he was a strong proponent for fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets. He said cutting programs and school budgets was "not only hurting our kids and our future, but our own economy"
He has seven grandchildren and is concerned with their future. He said the U.S. government was mortgaging the future of its children and attributed it to the nation's $8.5 trillion debt. Moore said he would reinstitute a pay-as-you-go program that would restore fiscal responsibility.
When it comes to financial aid for college, he said he disagreed with a bill President Bush enforced, which

set a maximum on the amount of aid students could receive. In 2003 Moore said Bush put in place a $4,050 limit on financial aid.
"I think it's the opposite of what we should be doing." Moore said.
Ahner, who recently turned 40 and has two children, said he recognized college students were looking to the future. He said he was trying to hit big issues that concerned them.
The economy is important for this age group he said, namely because "we are living in an increasingly global economy." To make the
United States more competitive, he said he would push a fair tax that would get rid of income tax and the payroll tax system. Ahner said this would be especially important to college graduates earning their first paychecks.
"We're seeing too many jobs go out of our country," he said.
Ahner is a former army intelligence officer. He said the war in Iraq was important to him and so was national security. He would like

Raymond Donovan Air Force ROTC
Eating lunch in camouflage, Raymond Donovan, South Bend, Ind., sophomore, doesn't look like someone who would plan to make a career outside of the military.

"I don't want to do this my whole life. I would like to be in the DEA", Donovan said, referring to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
Donovan is in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of Kansas. He is a cadet third class and is majoring in communications.
Donovan is also president of Silver Wings. Silver Wings is a civilian organization that promotes leadership through aviation. This is the first year that the University of Kansas has had a Silver Wings chapter.

The group meets at 7 p.m. Wednesdays and helps students in leadership building, resume writing and civic awareness.
Donovan likes to think that Silver Wings helps not only soldiers in the armed forces, but helps civilians gain a better understanding of how the Air Force works and how to become leaders.
"Silver Wings is a great way to help soldiers," Donovan said. "But it is not only for soldiers. It is for anyone interested in aeronautics."

False fire alarm pulled by 25-year-old bonobo ape
DES MOINES, Iowa — When firefighters responded to an alarm at a local research center, they found no fire and one quilty ape.
A bonobo named Panbanisha pulled the fire alarm last Friday at the Great Ape Trust of Iowa, said apologetic researchers.
"It's my understanding that she's been told not to do it again," Trust spokesman Al Setka said.
The fire alarm is on a wall in an area used by the apes and members of the scientific team. Panbanisha, a 25-year-old female, is one of seven bonobos at the facility. Bonobos are among the most human-like of the great apes.
Fire department spokesman Brian O'Keefe said Monday it was the first known case of an animal setting off a fire alarm in Des Moines.
Couple catches missing dog while on fishing trip
KEY LARGO, Fla. — After fishing without a bite for hours, a Massachusetts couple finally pulled something into their boat: a 5-year-old cairn terrier named Tigger.
Ray Truche Jr. and Lisa Largrass were motoring their fishing boat earlier this month on Florida Bay when they suddenly felt they had hit something in the water.
Tigger had apparently fallen overboard from Diane and Richard Beckman's boat during their trip from Kary Largo to Marathon, The Key West Citizen reported Monday.
She said she felt elated when she got home and listened to her messages. She went quickly to pick up Tigger.
The Beckmans frantically searched the waters for 2 1/2 hours.
"As soon as he realized it was me, he jumped in my arms," she said.
City accused of writing bogus tickets for revenue
NEW YORK — A sanitation agent was shown on videotape breaking light bulbs on the street in front of a restaurant and then writing a littering ticket to the restaurant's owner, a state assemblyman said.
The video shows the uniformed Department of Sanitation agent dropping fluorescent bulbs in the street. A sweeping truck cleans the mess, and then the agent writes a $300 ticket for improper disposal of the lights.
Assemblyman William Colton, who represents the neighborhood, said the agent pulled the same stunt on at least two other businesses on the block.
He accused the city of encouraging its agents to write tickets to increase government revenue.

The Department of Sanitation said it was investigating and planned to look at the video tape.
Wildlife officers bewildered by migrating manatee
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Renown for its blues and barbecue, Memphis attracts plenty of visitors. But city officials are wondering what attracted a manatee that has been spotted in the Mississippi River near downtown.
Wildlife experts believe the animal swam 750 miles from its home waters in Florida.
State wildlife officers are keeping their distance because they lack expertise in dealing with manatees and don't want to hurt the creature. They'll be conferring with experts, and hope to come up with a plan for helping the manatee. Officials say it looks healthy. But they are concerned about chilly weather, which can cause health problems for the aquatic Floridian.

Former NBC exec: media should improve
BY KIM LYNCH
Journalists need to combine personal issues with issues of policy better and put resources into covering what happens after the candidates are elected, Neal Shapiro said in a speech Tuesday.
Shapiro, president of NBC News from 2001 to 2005, said while the media do several things well when covering politics, they still need to improve.
Journalists could do better in paying attention and talking about the issues themselves rather than the people who are making them issues, he said.
Another problem is that networks put all their resources in covering pre-election and election issues and then don't cover the candidates as intensely after that. More of an emphasis should be placed on talking to the voters and hearing what they have to say, rather than talking about what they think, he said.
Although some improvement is needed, Shaprio said the media, and television in particular, do a good job conveying experience by showing the character of politicians.
He gave an example of Dan Quayle misspelling potato. The general public then had the idea
that he was no intellectual, Shapiro said.
Another thing the media does well is covering elections, Shapiro said. There are fewer and fewer surprises on election night in terms of who won what state.
Being able to change is important, and the media does that, Shapiro said. The political coverage is different and better than before.
A challenge the media faced was moving content onto multiple platforms, he said.
Minhtu Pham, Overland Park junior, said she liked the question and answer portion of the speech when Shapiro discussed the blurring between entertainment and
news with shows such as CSI.
Melissa Johnson, Joliet, Ill., freshman, said she thought what Shapiro spoke about was relevant and that he was good at pointing out the failings of the media.
Jackie Kostek, Minneapolis sophomore, said Shapiro did a good job of balancing the reality of the failings of the media with what the media did well.

Resource preservation topic of task force's proposal
BY NATE MCGINNIS
The Sustainability Task Force is waiting for a response from Provoist Richard Lariviere after it presented him with a proposal last week for a sustainability center to promote environmental research on campus.
If Larviere approves funding for the project, it will end nearly two years of work by the task force.
Lariviere was unable to be reached for comment before press time.
Stacey White, associate professor of urban planning and sustainability task force member, said the goal of the center would be to support research activities by students and faculty to promote sustainability on campus. Sustainability is the concept of conserving resources in the present in order to provide them in the future.
ties. White said.
The center would provide opportunities for students and faculty to use their research skills in the University and Lawrence communi-
"We really see this as a place where all sectors of the University could find some useful benefits," White said.
Nicole Reiz, Wichita senior and president of KU Environs, said the center would primarily act as a liaison to connect researchers from different departments who wanted to work on similar projects. She said another major component would be helping those researchers find funding for their projects.
Reiz said if Lariviere approved funding for the center, it would be used to hire a full-time staff member to coordinate projects.
Reiz said KU Environs showed support for the project by passing out and collecting green cards signed by students stating their support for the project. She said Environs collected around 1,300 cards and presented them to the Provost.
Studie Red Corn, Shawnee junior and chairman of the Student
Environmental Advisory Board, said he thought a sustainability center would bring great things to the University.
Red Corn said the University's environmental policy lacked tangible goals and a sustainability center would set real goals to cut waste and cost.
Anton Bengston, Salina senior and sustainability task force member, said the idea was first initiated by former Provost David Shulenburger in 2004.
Bengston said Shulenburger created the task force to study the feasibility of creating a coordinated hub on campus for sustainability-related activities.
The task force gave its final report to Shulenburger in 2005 that outlined what it would take to create a sustainability center on campus.
Bengston said Shulenburger was unable to approve the proposal before he left office in June 2006 but was helpful in moving the project forward and passing information along before he left.
Many college campuses, such as the University of Colorado Boulder, University of California Santa-Cruz and University of Northern Arizona, have either campus sustainability centers or policies that support sustainability on their campuses.
The society for college and university planning has designated today as campus sustainability day. The is the fourth year the society has sponsored such an event which annually discusses ideas for sustainability on college campuses nationwide. This year the society will sponsor a Webcast featuring faculty and student representatives from four colleges across the nation.

Moore said Congress needed to do two things when it came to health care. He said affordable health care was a huge problem because
employees relied on employers to give them insurance.
First, he introduced H.R. 2002, the Small Business Health Insurance Affordability Act of 2005, which is in the beginning stages of the legislative process. He said his bill would provide a tax credit toward the purchase of
health insurance for businesses if they provided insurance to their employees.
Second, his info-tech bank would give non-profit groups medical-record banks so everyone could control their information and would provide immediate access to records for health care providers. He said it could save $160 billion per year if a system like that was in place. It would provide correct information and reduce medical errors for doctors.
Ahner said he was interested in health care because malpractice reform could reduce the cost of health care in general. He said college students have to pay for malpractice insurance when they get their first jobs. He said there were ways to ban together and get cheaper plans for small companies.

BY JACK WEINSTEIN
The newest restaurant in Lawrence, Jersey Mike's Subs, has partnered with Lawrence Education Achievement Partners as part of its grand opening today. By cutting out a coupon in The University Daily Kansan and making a $1 donation, subs will be on the house.
LEAP is an organization that matches Lawrence businesses or organizations with the Lawrence school system for the sharing of business and expertise with school children, said Julie Boyle, director of communications for Lawrence Public Schools.
Local businesses provide volunteers for events, pen pals and tours for children, Boyle said.
Monica Cronin, marketing coordinator for the chain, said Jersey Mike's always did a charitable campaign when opening up a store.
"We want people to try our subs, but we want people to donate as well." he said.
The new Jersey Mike's, 1601 W. 23rd St., is one of 400 stores open and in development "coast to coast," Cronin said. It is the third store in

Kansas.
"There's some anxiety," Bossert admitted. "But mostly I'm just excited."
The 22-year-old, after all, is opening up a sub shop on a street where five other sandwich shops reside between Louisiana and Iowa streets, but that won't deter her.
Sub shops fit the Lawrence atmosphere well, Bossert said, citing the college crowd's love of pizza and subs.
Lawrence restaurant managers would probably agree. The Subway on 23rd Street has been at that location for the past 12 years.
"I'm really only expecting it to affect my business for the first two or three weeks," manager Adam Elwell said. "Like every new restaurant in town, they'll be busy for a little while."
Yello Sob has been on 23rd Street for 17 years. Manager Don Keen,
who's been at the shop since it opened, isn't excited about the new sub shop moving in across the street from him, but says there's nothing he can do about it.
Keen added that he didn't think Jersey Mike's would have an affect in the long run, but said that "more competition in town makes it thinner for everybody."
Jimmy John's manager Sara Heckman said Jersey Mike's opening would make their business go down for a short time, but because Jimmy John's was a college-oriented restaurant with late night hours and delivery, they would be fine.
"We get fresh meat every semester to expose to the goodness of Jimmy John's," Heckman said referring to incoming freshmen.
"I firmly believe once they try our sub, they'll come back," she said.
Bossert isn't too concerned about her store's proximity to the other sub shops on 23rd Street.

Lawrence resident Gwen Klingenberg vehemently said there were large flaws in the traffic claims by Wal-Mart and the commission should deny their request to begin development. Klingenberg said they were expecting people to exit to the
Lawrence resident Susan Chi said she was also concerned with traffic because the traffic study was conducted during the first week of June, after Freestate had been released for summer vacation.
Others raised similar concerns about the traffic. Several mentioned concerns about students being struck due to increased traffic around the high school.
Commissioner Sue Hack said she wasn't as concerned with the traffic issues.
"I honestly don't think people are going to try and wind through neighborhoods, even if they have to wait for another light," Hack said.
Thompson, the Wal-Mart attorney, said the school hour was not the peak hour of use, so Wal-Mart stood by its original traffic study.

The remainder of the land would be used for green space and the housing of other businesses, or "pad sites."

OUR VIEW
We need public leaders willing to collaborate
The frenzied and hectic pace of campaign season often puts on shameful display some of the worst elements of American culture. Candidates are publicly derided in personal attacks, and charges are leveled without any context or substance. This can be wearying and worrisome, and it is unsurprising when young people consciously tune out of such a repulsive process.
But this campaign season, we should focus on a larger and more disturbing trend within political circles. Both major parties, and the interest groups that fund and support them, are seeking to establish a bizarre monoculture in which all opposition is marginalized and shunned. Officials of both parties speak of creating party hegemony, in which their own people and ideals can dominate all three branches of government.
Read any piece of campaign literature: Most of it focuses not on the virtues of the campaigner, but rather on the shortcomings
of the opponent's principles, and on the threat those ideals pose to government.
But most of the great accomplishments in American history have been the product of compromise, not of the total dominance of one party. If anything, the periods when we have been closest to hegemony have been the least productive and most divisive for the nation. A democratic republic is structured to operate on consensus and cooperation, not subjugation and trivialization. But again this campaign season we see both parties clamoring for the most polarized positions, with few candidates stressing the virtues of working together.
Luckily, a few upstanding public servants take this problem seriously. Led by Senators Barack Obama, John McCain, John Warner and Lindsey Graham, among others, this new trend of triangulation actually appears to focus more on the virtues of accomplishment than on political posturing. Obama in particular has stressed the necessity of bridging the gap between the extremes of the ideological spectrum.
There is a clear political benefit to this, as voters love a maverick. But maybe this will lead to a new era of confederation, in which politicians can sacrifice some electoral gain for the benefit of the nation.
Students are impressionable and are often the target of fringe messages, often with the complacency of the media, who are only too happy to focus on the competitive aspects of politics. But when our generation assumes power, and when we soon exercise our votes, we should remember that the road to great American accomplishment is rarely paved with animosity, and is nearly always lined with collaboration.

COMMENTARY
Playing the enrollment game
Today I'd like to talk about one of the greatest competitive sports at the University of Kansas: enrollment, a game of shifting schedules and crazy classes.
This week, the seniors will get first dibs at classes, which is good because they need to get into certain classes so they can graduate in seven years. I mean, four years. However, many students need to make sure they meet the requirements for any professional school they are going to apply to and/or the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The first place you can find out graduation requirements is on your ARTS (Annoying Record of Tons of Stuff) form, which you can find online. You select your major and the ARTS form will automatically generate all the classes you need to take for your gen eds and major requirements. It will also tell you what you've completed. And your GPA. And your major GPA. And what lottery numbers to pick. The ARTS form is loaded with important info, although it may take you a few centuries to figure out what all that info is.
The second place you can check for requirements is your course catalogue, which should have a master checklist of what each major and/or minor requires. It may take you a while, however, to decipher your course catalogue from your phone book.
The course catalogue is a great resource. Searching online on the

timetable is great, but you have to know the four-letter course code (example: ENGL for English) and the course number.
For example, you might find "ARTS 101: Underwater Basketweaving" and want to know more about it. The Internet search on Enroll and Pay will show you whether or not the class is offered and if so, when, where, and with whom the class is being held. But the course catalogue will give you a nice summary that will be something along the lines of:
"In this course students will have the opportunity to explore current issues and analyze the latest techniques in the field of underwater basketweaving. Students will be asked to utilize various tools and critical thinking skills."
OK, so the course catalogue summary makes the class sound like some sick academic test, so where else can you find a description of classes?
Answer: your friends and fellow classmates. I have discovered some of the best classes through other peoples' suggestions.
Another valuable enrollment resource not to be overlooked is your friendly neighborhood adviser.
If you're in the honors program, you've probably already picked an adviser. But the rest of the student body is assigned some random person who may have some slight knowledge in the field you're majoring in.
If this is the case, don't forget about asking your professors for advice on classes. They've probably taught some of the ones you're thinking about and can give you a better idea of the class than any other source. Also, if a class you want to get into has a limited number of seats, getting to know that professor might be a good idea. You may be rewarded with a permission number.
However, even when you find all the classes you're interested in, figure out your major requirements, and make a mock schedule, it's not a guarantee that when you enroll you will get into all the classes you need. The student body here is about 29,000 students, so getting into that special anthropology class with a 25-seat limit can be a pain in the ass.
Just remember as you enroll to keep alternatives in mind, use professors as a resource and constantly check the Internet timetables to see if anyone drops a class you really want. As for your course catalogue, if you don't know what to do with it, I suggest a doorstop or a pillow. Happy enrolling!

KU needs a Spanish minor
The Kansan welcomes letters to the editor and guest columns submitted by students, faculty and alumni.
The Kansan reserves the right to edit, cut to length, or reject all submissions.
KU students are missing out on one of the best programs in the nation. But not by choice.
Instead of viewing this influx of interest as a problem, it should be seen as young adults becoming increasingly aware of their surroundings and ada' ing to them. Now, if only the Spanish department could be as forward-thinking and adaptable as the students trying to enter into a non-existent Spanish minor program.
For any questions, call Frank Tankard or Dave Ruigh at 864-4810 or e-mail opinion@kansan.com.
General questions should be directed to the editor at editor@kansan.com.
The world is growing faster than our Spanish department is willing to adapt. It is obvious that there are cost-efficient ways to offer the successes that a minor has to offer to KU undergrads. When will the University take the time to implement the changes that will allow us to enter the world ready for the culturally diverse place that is has become?
Spanish and Portuguese is listed as one of the University's strongest programs by The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2006, and it is hailed "exceptional" by Kaplan: The Unofficial, Unbiased Insider's Guide to the 320 Most Interesting Colleges.
However, because the department does not offer a minor in Spanish, many students will never learn this firsthand. Our University is one of only two Big 12 universities that do not offer this minor.
The department could adopt a more forward-thinking approach, such as the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has. It offers the Spanish minor. However, in recognizing the quickly increasing number of students wanting to study and lack of funds to provide
Doesn't this also go along with the Kansas Board of Regents recent proposal? Chairman Nelson Galle proposed to require all four-year students at Kansas institutions to have some sort of international experience before graduating. The installation of a Spanish minor would promote this end.
Students' interest in Spanish courses isn't rising without reason. It is obviously rising is in relation to the increasing Hispanic population in the United States. With this continued exponential growth, the increasing amount of undergrads wanting to study Spanish isn't going to go away.
The KU Spanish and Portuguese Web site assures that they "encourage you to continue taking classes in Spanish ... the additional studies will benefit you greatly." However, there are currently no additional classes a student can take beyond language requirements for their non-Spanish major.
Rassias method. Students in Rassias method classrooms meet five hours a week to work on all basic Spanish language skills. Then the students spend another five hours a week in drill classes. These drill classes reinforce what has been taught in the main class using a "dramatic interplay," according to The California Aggie newspaper. With this program, professors hope their students will be at the intermediate level by the end of their first year.
In using this program, it seems that students will not only fulfill a significant number of hours, but probably fulfill their proficiency expectations of obtaining a minor in only one year. In this way, the existing teachers would implement a new, intensive and more effective teaching approach so that students can learn more in the same or even less time.
Next semester the department has added one class, Spanish 322: "Spanish Grammar: Form and Meaning in Context," for non-majoring students. This class is similar to that of the major equivalent course, 324, only must be taken simultaneously with 324 to receive the "full benefit," according to several department faculty members. Although it is exciting that the department has added one class for non-majors, it is just that; one class. There is no plan for additional classes at this time.
Yet another efficient solution could be borrowed from Dartmouth College, which implements the
Penny
Its Web site reminds students that Spanish majors have preference into classes — which makes sense. Here, however, is where the solution comes in: the university encourages studying abroad to ensure fulfilling all of the requirements of the minor as classes are in high demand. It also highlights that finishing the minor in one semester abroad is entirely possible — thus saving the Spanish department the hassle of opening more classes to accommodate all students.
BY ABBY HUGHES
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
According to the KU Office of Study Abroad, roughly one in four students will study abroad before graduating from our University. It seems that if a Spanish minor program was offered, even with the stipulation that the majority of hours must be fulfilled abroad, a significant number of KU students would be able to receive their minor, pursue their interest and benefit from this opportunity without further overwhelming the department.

The first brochure Justin Leverett ever received from the University of Kansas pictured the campus' fall foliage. "It's such a beautiful campus," the Carbondale, Ill., freshman, said.
The University has a beautiful campus year-round, but it's radiant in autumn, which the pines, oaks and elms change color.
And autumn is bearing upon the Jayhawks. The air is brisk, the buses will soon be crammed and café lines are lengthening as students crave hot drinks. Most vegetation is withering away silently under flecks of frost, but the trees take a different approach. Campus is the theater for nature's grand finale, its great sending-off of summer, festooned with falling sunny-colored leaves.
However, fall is not all hayrides and apple cider for everyone. This time of year brings lots of work for the Facilities Operations department, which provides landscaping, construction, pest control, recycling and other services to campus.
Before the ground freezes, crews manage to plant 10,000 to 12,000 tulip bulbs for spring in various campus flower beds, such as those in front of Watson Library and the Chi Oinega fountain.
New trees are still being planted to replace those lost in last March's microburst, which damaged 60 percent of campus buildings, uprooted trees and flung tree limbs onto cars in the residence hall parking lots. The most immediate and time-consuming task at the moment, however, is leaf removal.
"We generally start at about 6:30
a. m. and try to stay out of the way of classrooms," said Mike Lange, campus landscape manager.
Though the workers are seldom noticed, their work definitely is. Fall is commonly believed to showcase the best of campus.
Many students view the falling leaves as a sign for upcoming fun, like the holidays and long breaks. Others are simply amazed at the natural beauty of the season.
"The whole world is ablaze with the color of fall foliage, like a kaleidoscope," England Porter, Independence junior, said.

Giles' problems remain unresolved
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
Nearly a week after the C.J. Giles soap opera hit its craziest point, there is still little in the way of resolution.
A court date that was scheduled for Monday was pushed back to January. At the court date, Giles will be asked to provide a reason why he has not paid child support for his 18-month-old child.
When reached by telephone, the child's mother, Lawrence resident Laura Bender, said that either Giles
or his attorney requested the date be moved.
"I had no say in it," she said.
Since her name was released last Thursday by the Lawrence Journal-World, she has been dealing with the consequences of her newfound infamy. She has made her MySpace-page profile private after receiving some negative comments.
In addition, some people are recognizing her as she waits tables at a local restaurant.
"People are just asking random questions and asking about rumors
thev heard." she said.
Despite the notoriety, she said she had absolutely no regrets about her decision, and hopes it spurs Giles to take responsibility for his child. Giles could not be reached for comment.
One of the rumors that has been circulating on the Internet is that Giles has left town. Basketball coach Bill Self put that rumor to rest Tuesday, saying that while he has not spoken to Giles personally, he knows that other people have.
"I said last week that he had an opportunity to straighten some personal issues out," Self said. "There hasn't been enough time elapsed to know if that has been done."
Self emphasized that the issues go beyond just the child support payments. He said that Giles was dealing with "multiple things," and added that a decision about whether Giles could possibly return to the team might be made within the next several davs.
Bender is continuing to take care of the child in addition to her job and school duties. She said last Wednesday that Giles' father,
Chester, had been helping her out on occasion. In addition, she stays in touch with her parents, and has talked to them everyday for the past year.
"They read about it in the paper, they've known about it," she said. "It's nothing new for them."
Unless Self makes a decision about Giles' future, there will likely not be any further details about the case until the new court date in January.

Injury keeps linebacker out all season
FOOTBALL
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Three weeks after suffering a severe concussion, Eric Washington's football career appears to be over.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Washington had a neck surgery last week and would not return to the team this season.
"I feel badly for him," Mangino said, "I feel like he was really playing well and really getting comfortable. He really was a key guy for us."
Earlier this season Mangino had been optimistic that the senior outside linebacker would return.
Washington was carted off the field in the third quarter of the Nebraska game on Sept. 30 after making a headfirst tackle. He experienced temporary paralysis, but feeling returned in his extremities nearly 30 minutes after the hit.
Washington stayed in a Lincoln,
Neb, hospital for nearly three days before he returned to Lawrence.
An individual close to the team told The Kansan earlier this month that Washington was admitted to a Kansas City, Mo., area hospital for "precautionary reasons" the week after the game. He was released a day later.
In Washington's absence, freshman Arist Wright and sophomore James Holt have both seen time at outside linebacker.
Mangino said it was more important for Washington to earn his degree and get healthy.
"He's doing good," Wright said of a conversation he had with Washington on Monday. "He's pretty proud of me. He called his son."
"Football is a short window in your life anyhow," Mangino said.

Mangino's excuses sound familiar
MARK MURPHY
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHILLIPS@KANSAN.COM
We finally have an appropriate analogy for this season's football team.
At this week's football press conference, coach Mark Mangino said what this year's team needed to do.
Sound familiar? Of course it does. That's the same thing that President George W. Bush said about the situation in Iraq.
"We've got to stay the course," he said.
Perhaps Mangino just did a terrific job playing to KU's Lawrence fan base. After all, you probably couldn't get away with a Bushism like that in say, Manhattan. Of course, K-State has a won game.
The commander-in-chief of the football team might just be taking the baton from the other commander-in-chief.
White House press secretary Tony Snow told reporters Monday that the president has stopped using the phrase.
"It left the wrong impression about what was going on," Snow said. He then continued: "The President is determined not to leave Iraq short of victory."
That may be where the two styles differ. Mangino leaves lots of places short of victory. Saturday's 36-35 loss to Baylor was the team's seventh consecutive road loss. In two weeks the Jayhawks will head to Ames, Iowa, where they will likely make it a crazy eighth.
Instead of the movie "Groundhog Day," we're living in a Groundhog Week. Every meltdown brings the same response from the coaching staff.
What did Mangino have to say
about his team's latest meltdown, the one that allowed the largest fourth-quarter comeback in Baylor history?
"A lot of younger kids gained some valuable experience," he said.
The divide between what Mangino says and what the players hear seems to grow larger every week.
At the press conference, I asked Mangino what steps he was taking to fix the fourth-quarter problems.
He said that the defensive coordinators were simplifying their schemes so the players would be able to follow along more easily.

When asked, defensive end Arist Wright said that he hadn't heard of any such change yet.
Likewise, after the game Mangino said that running back Jon Cornish wasn't called on as often as he usually was in the fourth quarter because he was injured. The problem is, nobody bothered to tell Cornish he was hurt.
kept going in the fourth quarter."
The only thing left is for Bob Woodward, assistant managing editor of The Washington Post, to come write a book about Mangino and company.
He might point out how the "administration" continues to sell these close losses as aberrations. The KU Athletics Web site has used the following descriptions for the last five losses: "thriller," "edged," "outasted," "one for the ages" and "double-overtime thriller."
Fans have wised up to the Mangino charade and will respond by not coming to the game on Saturday. They're going to finish the season like the Jayhawks finish games.

Victory against Oklahoma could boost postseason play
VOLLEYBALL
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team has the chance to put itself back into the mix of postseason content tonight if it wins against No. 20 Oklahoma at the Horeksi Family Athletics Center. First serve is set for 7 p.m.
Victories against ranked opponents allow teams like Kansas (10-10, 3-8 Big 12) that are on the so-called "bubble" into the postseason action. Right now, Kansas has just one victory this season against a ranked opponent, then-ranked No. 16 Brigham Young, but that was more than a month and a half ago.
"It's a very good chance to upset them," Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said. "It would be really nice for us. In terms of the postseason, that is where we want to get."
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said Oklahoma has not only been a surprise in the conference, but around the nation. The Sooners are in second place in the conference, after finishing last in the Big 12 in 2005 with a 2-18 conference record.
"They're the same team from last year, but they don't make mistakes," Correa said. "They're not very physical, but they don't make mistakes."
Oklahoma swept Kansas when they played on Oct. 7. Since that loss, the Jayhawks have won two of their last three contests.
The Jayhawks have an opportunity to pull the upset on television. Metro Sports will broadcast the game, which will air on tape-delay at noon tomorrow. Steven Davis, son of KU broadcaster Bob Davis, is slated to do the play-by-play.
for KU from 1996 to 1999, will serve as the color analyst.
Kansas comes into the match after being swept at Texas A&M on Saturday. However, the Jayhawks have protected their home court this season with a 5-3 record.
Jan Madlock, an assistant coach
Last week, Oklahoma swept then- No. 12 Missouri and lost a five-game match to No. 9 Texas.
The Sooners have played well on the road this season, especially in conference play, with a 5-1 record.
"Most teams, at some point, fade off," Bechard said. "They haven't, and they have played really well and been consistent."
Senior outside hitter Joanna Schmitt leads Oklahoma, averaging 4.24 kills a game. Senior libero Anna Monsen leads the OU defense, averaging 4.85 digs per game, second best in the Big 12.
Around the country
Compiled by Asher Fusco
Historically, Kansas coach Ray Bechard has had success against Oklahoma, as his all-time record is 15-2. Oklahome's coach Santiago Restrepo is 1-4 against Kansas.
Bechard said not only would a victory against the Sooners boost KU's postseason aspirations, but its confidence as well.
"Those wins feel a lot better than when you play a team that is struggling," he said. Next, Kansas will meet Texas Tech at 7 on Saturday night at the Horeis Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks lost a four-game match to the Red Raiders earlier this season in Lubbock, Texas.

Chargers' linebacker to play despite failed drug test
SAN DIEGO, CA. — Shawne
1 Merriman's attorney said the Chargers' outside linebacker failed a drug test because of a tainted supplement and will continue to play while appealing
his four-game suspension.
Attorney David Cornwell said he believed Merriman tested positive for the steroid nandrolone, which is prohibited under the NFLS's substance abuse policy. Cornwell said the substance was in a supplement Merriman had been taking.
Merriman said he spoke with teammates and coaches earlier in the day, and "apologized to them for this being a distraction."

Seattle QB to miss three games for strained knee

Hasselbeck thinks Minnesota's E.J. Henderson could have avoided rolling into his lower right leg Sunday early in the second half of Seattle's loss to the Vikings.
An MRI showed the Pro Bowl quarterback strained his right medial collateral ligament. Coach Mike Holmgren said Hasselbeck has a Grade 2 sprain on a three-grade scale and will miss "around" three games.

Pro Bowl left tackle Willie Roaf announced his retirement just before training camp, about a month after Welbourn, the starter at right tackle, said he had retired.
But later the league said Welbourn had been found in violation of drug policy for the second straight year and would not be eligible to return until Oct. 23. Welbourn also missed the first four games of 2005.
/
After Welbourn applied for reinstatement, the first six games of this season counted as his missed time.
Coach Herm Edwards met with Welbourn, 30, on Monday and was impressed with his physical conditioning.
"He's in pretty good shape. Don't know what kind of football shape,but pretty good,"Edwards said.
Welbourn has a two-week exemption in which he can practice for two weeks without counting against the 53-man roster.

Labor contract increases salary by more than $50K
ST.LOUIS — Baseball officials briefed owners on details of their new labor contract Tuesday and planned to make the agreement public before Game 3 of the World Series.
Commissioner Bud Selig and union head Donald Few were to appear at a news conference Tuesday night in Busch Stadium. The five-year contract, which runs through the 2011 season, is subject to ratification by both sides.
Lawyers struck the deal last Friday night and Saturday during negotiations in New York, then worked on putting it in writing.
The current deal, reached in August 2002, is set to expire Dec. 19.

WORLD SERIES
Cardinals win game three of World Series
St. Louis up 2-1 games against Detroit
BY BEN WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Chris Carpenter was well on his way to a World Series victory when, all of sudden, people swarmed the mound to examine his hand.
No smudge, no scuffs. Just a cramp, and it wasn't about to blemish his outing.
Carpenter looked every bit a Cards' ace as he threw the Detroit Tigers a curve, pitching St. Louis to a 5-0 victory Tuesday night for a 2-1 Series edge.
Carpenter used big breaking balls to spin three-hit ball for eight innings. And with Jim Edmonds hitting a key double and St. Louis taking advantage of a poor throw, the Cardinals returned their focus squarely to the field.
Gone were any reminders of the squabbling Kenny Rogers caused with his smudged left hand in Game 2.
Oh, Rogers heard plenty from the sellout crowd at Busch Stadium during pregame introductions, as chants of "Cheat-er!" echoed throughout the ballpark. But that was about the only noise the Tigers caused in this game.
Looking fierce with his three-day beard, Carpenter showed why he won the NL Cy Young Award last year and is a top contender this season. He struck out six, walked one and kept the Tigers' trio of Placido Polanco, Ivan Rodriguez and Curtis Granderson hitless in the Series.
Carpenter's lone problem came in the seventh inning. As Polanco led off by lining out to good friend Albert Pujols, Carpenter hopped on the mound and looked at his hand.
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, a trainer and the entire St. Louis infield converged on the mound, peering at Carpenter's bare right hand. Plate ampire Wally Bell also went out to check as reliever Josh Kinney began warming up in a hurry.
All in all, it certainly was a lot more attention than Rogers attracted on the field after a yellowish-brown mark was spotted on his hand — he said it was a mix of dirt, spit and resin, while others claimed it was illegal pine tar.
A moment later, Carpenter was
deemed to be OK. He proved it, too, by continuing to set down the Tigers to constant cheers. He drew his biggest roar when he got a standing ovation as he came to bat in the eighth.
Braden Looper took over in the ninth and finished the combined three-hitter.
Game 4 will be Wednesday night, provided a forecast of steady rain holds off. If it does, NL championship series MVP Jeff Suppan will start against Jeremy Borderman.
The Tigers had homered in all 10 postseason games before Carpenter stopped them. And a Detroit team that averaged 5 1/2 runs per game throughout the AL playoffs has scored a total of five in the World Series.
PEACE CORPS
It was somewhat of a surprise, too. Carpenter gave up a seasonhigh seven runs at Detroit in June.

Steelers' coach expects quarterback to play
SPACE
Ben Roethlisberger gets positive brain test results, on his way to recovering from second concussion
ASSOCIATED PRESS
17
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is hit by Atlanta Falcons defensive end Patrick Kerney during third quarter of their football game in Atlanta on Sunday. Roethlisberger left the game with a head injury and did not return. Atlanta won 41-39 in overtime.
ALAN ROBINSON AP SPORTS WRITER
PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger's second concussion in slightly more than four months may not keep him out of the Pittsburgh Steelers' lineup Sunday or prevent him from practicing this week.
The Super Bowl-winning quarterback is questionable for Sunday's game in Oakland, but Bill Cowher sounded Tuesday very much like a coach who expects to have his starting quarterback ready to go this week.
"He had an MRI done on his brain and neck, and both of those came back normal," Cowher said. "We also did the concussion test, and we're very encouraged by the results. We'll monitor his progress as the week goes on, but again, I emphasize that we're very encouraged by where he is."
Asked if Roelishberger would practice Wednesday, Cowher said,
"We'll see how he feels."
Roethlisberger was briefly knocked unconscious during a helmet-to-helmet hit with the Falcons' Chauncey Davis midway through the third quarter of Pittsburgh's 41-38 overtime loss in Atlanta. The injury came in Roethlisberger's best game of the season — he was 16-of-22 for 238 yards and three touchdowns.
Cowher expects the NFL to review the hit for a possible fine or disciplinary action, as the league does with almost any play that involves a quarterback's head injury.
Roethlisberger was woooy and appeared dazed a few minutes later while being taken to the locker room on a motorized cart, but returned later to watch the rest of the game on the sideline.
His replacement, Charlie Batch, threw two touchdown passes during a day the Steelers passed for 413 yards in 60 minutes — the most they've had in a game in which
their quarterback never stepped on the field past the fourth quarter. Their only better passing day was Tommy Maddox's 473-yard effort in the Steelers' previous game against Atlanta, a 34-34 tie in 2002 that lasted 75 minutes.
Roethlisberger was deemed well enough to fly home on the team plane Sunday night, and he drove his car to a team meeting Monday. Later Monday, he met with a neurosurgeon and took the ImPACT concussion test that many NFL teams use to determine the severity of a concussion and when a player is fit to return.
The test measures a player's memory, attention, mental processing speed and reaction time. The results are compared to those taken when the player was healthy.
"He will take the test again later in the week to make sure he is cleared medically before we would subject him to playing," Cowher said. "Again, it's too early to make a final decision on that. We will definitely do so by taking all necessary precautions to make sure he is cleared."
This is Roethlisberger's third significant medical-related problem since June. He also sustained a concussion, and needed seven hours of surgery mostly to repair facial injuries, when his motorcycle collided with a car June 12 in Pittsburgh.
He also missed the Sept. 7 season opener against Miami after needing an emergency appendectomy Sept. 3. He looked rusty after returning, losing his first three starts, but has looked much sharper the last two games by going 32-of-41 for 476 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions against the Chiefs and Falcons.
By contrast, he had seven interceptions and no touchdowns in his first three starts.
Despite the Steelers' optimism about Roethlisberger's condition, a football player receiving a second concussion in a relatively brief time can be susceptible to succeeding concussions, according to doctors who have studied the injury.
Also, a player receiving multiple

Minnesota, Connecticut writers discuss football
11
Associated Press
Minnesota's head coach Glen Mason talks to North Dakota State's quarterback after the Gophers defeated them Saturday. Some football players have been demoralized by fans booing them while they play. Last week, Minnesota football coach Glen Mason chastised fans for booing their own team.
Players should learn to accept booing as fans' feedback
In the middle of a tumultuous season, Minnesota football coach Glen Mason, who used to be the football coach at KU, called out the team's fans for booing the team at home. C.J. Sprang wrote this column for Tuesday's Minnesota Daily.
Last week, Minnesota football coach Glen Mason took a verbal shot at fans, particularly students, for booing, drinking and criticizing the football program.
When is it appropriate for fans to boo during a collegiate athletic event?
While I think it was absolutely ridiculous to call out fans in the media, Mason did raise a good point.
My guess is there aren't too many people who would pose this same question if it were a professional sporting event.
Those guys make enough money to cover the therapy sessions they might need after getting booed all game long.
But college is different. The athletes aren't getting paid, per se, although I would argue that tuition, room and board, gear, academic tutoring, etc., all should be considered payment.
Mason argued that negative cheering, even directed at him, could adversely affect the team. He questioned whether or not loyal fans could actually call themselves fans if they felt the need to boo.
That whole argument is moot.
My parents love me, but there are certain things I do that drive them crazy. Now, my parents don't boo when I do something wrong;
that would be silly. They do.
however, voice their displeasure
with my behavior, in hopes that I improve upon whatever I did wrong. I'd rather have the booing.
Fans aren't going to gently voice their displeasure with the football team
M
There aren't going to be phone calls or e-mails or a conversation with the players and coaches,
because that isn't feasible.
The only option fans have is
to boo. It's the only way they are going to be heard.
As for the negative effects booing may have on the athletes, they should have realized it wouldn't be easy being a
Division 1 athlete. Booing comes with the territory.

One of the automatic bids to the BCS bowl games goes to the Big East Conference, a decision that has come under fire recently because there are
no marque teams in the conference. But Mike Mauro wrote in Tuesday's Connecticut Daily Campus that the Big East deserves its spot.
Eight weeks of college football have come and gone and there remain only
CONNECTICUT
HUSKIES
seven unbeaten teams in the nation, six of which are from BCS conferences. Three of these teams hail from the Big East, yet despite having unbeaten West Virginia, Louisville and Rutgers in the conference the BCS standing of each team is very disappointing.
This brings up the question,should and will an undefeated Big East team play in the BCS Championship over a one-loss team from a conference like the rugged SEC? The answer to this question should be a resounding ves.
The Big East is not what it used to be without Miami (Fla.), Virginia Tech and Boston College, but it is far from being the Sun Belt Conference. The Big East has gotten an unfair rap and has been painted as the BCS outcast without a good enough team to win a National Championship. How quick people forget and how blind the "experts" are when talking about the Big East.
In last year's Sugar Bowl, no one gave West Virginia any chance to beat SEC powerhouse Georgia. All the Mountaineers did was run wild against supposedly one of the best defenses in the country on the way to a 38-35 victory. One would figure that this win would bring the Big East back on par with the other BCS conferences and it did in some of the voters' eyes, but the computers still
have no love for the Big East.
If your team is good enough to go undefeated for an entire season and you play in one of the BCS conferences, you deserve to play in the title game over any team with one loss. I know it may seem unfair to teams in the SEC because, without a doubt, that is the toughest conference in college football, but if one of the three
teams in the Big East goes undefeated this year, that means they will have had to beat each other. No matter which team survives those games
without a loss deserves a shot in the national title game.
This whole argument depends on the premise that USC must lose because if they run the table, the pollsters and the computers love them and will put them in the championship. Either Michigan or Ohio State is going to lose since they will meet each other on the season's last weekend and the only other undefeated team in the country, Boise State from the WAC, has no chance at the title game. This scenario would put the winner of Michigan and Ohio State in the title game with the other spot up for grabs. This other spot should go to an undefeated Big East team, especially if it's West Virginia.

Charles Goldberg, Buffalo Grove, Ill., sophomore, recites the Jewish afternoon prayer, the Mincha, as Michael Venyah, founder of Soulwinners Ministries International, holds a contentious - debate with KU students at Wescoe Beach on Wednesday. "I'm here to show that despite any hate, I'm going to be who I am, and I'm not going to let anyone get to me," Goldberg said. Venyah also sparked controversy with several Jewish students with statements such as "All Jews go to hell."

Students cursed, screamed at, spit on, threw eggs at and chucked Bibles toward two men who spoke on Wescoe Beach Wednesday with a message that homosexuals, Jews, Muslims, people who masturbate and people who listen to rap or rock and roll music are going to hell.
More than one thousand students gathered around Michael Venyah and Chris Lemieux on Wescoe Beach at the height of the disagreement. The two men, both in their 30s, wore red T-shirts with yellow writing that said "No Homos go to Heaven -1 Corinthians 6:9-10" on the front and "All Homos go to Hell-Corinthians 6:9-10" on the back. Lemieux said the two men from Michigan had been preaching at colleges for two years.
Students stood shoulder-to-shoulder, filling the front steps and
the patio of Wescoe Beach. Most laughed at Venyah's remarks or yelled back at him. Several times the chant "Let's love, not hate" echoed through the crowd. Several students said they had missed class to see the protest.
At one point two women broke from the crowd and ground against one another and against Venyah as he spoke. A few students waved condoms and hot dogs in his face, others held signs in front of him, blocking his view of the crowd. People in the crowd held signs with things like "God hates Books" and "I ate chili for lunch" written on them. Venyah was constantly surrounded by students asking him questions or trying to disrupt his message.
spoke. "Anything to deface the lie that's on his shirt," he said. "His misuse is driven by hate."
The men began speaking about 10:30 Wednesday morning and stayed until 3:30 in the afternoon. Some of the things Venyah said included, "Tupac and Biggie Smalls
Sarcastic shouts from students could be heard throughout the crowd. One student yelled, "We're
are in hell" and "You people don't obey Christ, you obey your lust."
Cameron Baraban, Overland Park freshman squirted ketchup packets on Venyah's shirt as he

Lemieux, who video taped Venyah, but didn't preach himself, said they were with a group called Soulwinners Ministries International. According to the group's Web site, Venyah founded the group with his wife Tamika in 2004. Lemieux said she usually preached too, but couldn't be there yesterday.
"This is our job," Lemieux said. He said God provided for them as they preached their message at colleges across the country.
Liney Pugh, Washington, D.C., freshman said, "I think it's really wrong to preach hate like they do." Pugh and another girl approached Venyah together and kissed "just to piss him off". She said Venyah then called her a whoremonger.

Study reveals caffeine hazards
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Justin Logan plans to get some quality sleep this week. He spent much of the past week wide-awake and highly caffeinated at a design lab in Learned Hall.
Logan, Coffeyville senior, and his friend Kevin Wiedenmann, Olathe senior, brought several cases of Red Bull energy drink to the design lab as the weekend began. Logan and Wiedenmann consumed six and nine Red Bulls respectively in one night.
Like many of their classmates, the two KU aerospace engineering majors work for days at a time on some design projects. The secret to making it through is calculated caffeine consumption.
"Caffeine kicks it up a notch so we can get it in," Logan said about class projects. "You can't really physically do it without caffeine."
Young people consume more caffeine now than ever before, and that consumption may force some into hospital emergency rooms, according to a study released this month by researchers at Northwestern University.
Using call data from the Illinois Poison Center, researchers found that 68 percent of emergency poisoning cases stemmed from caffeine abuse. Victims suffered from chest pains and heart palpitations, according to the study.
A person drinking three or four cups of coffee per day will consume about 300-400 milligrams of caffeine, a moderate and safe amount, said Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition services at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Drinkers will begin to experience side effects if they consume more than the moderate amount.
Langer amounts of caffeine can cause headaches, restlessness and irritability. For people sensitive to caffeine, the effects can become dangerous, according to the Northwestern University study.
Many people don't know how much caffeine they actually consume each day. For example, a 16 oz. cup of coffee at Starbucks can have up to 372 milligrams of caffeine in it. Drinking two cups per day puts caffeine consumption levels far above what is generally regarded as safe, according to Chapman and other researchers.
A can of Red Bull contains about 80 milligrams of caffeine.

Anthrax vaccine moves to second testing stage
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
An anthrax vaccine developed by three KU researchers is in its second stage of clinical testing.
The vaccine is a stabilized liquid form of the current anthrax vaccine, which is difficult to transport and store because its temperature must remain constant. Duane Brandau,
Sangeeta Joshi and Laura Peek, KU research professors, developed a stabilized liquid form of the vaccine and sent it to a laboratory that converted their vaccine to a powder form. Then the vaccine went to its first of up to four stages of clinical testing. The powder vaccine doesn't have such specific conditions for storage, making it easier to transport. It is administered through an
inhaler or a nasal spray. The current vaccine is a liquid and administered by injection.
"The University of Kansas has a responsibility to address this public health risk," said Kevin Boatright, director of research communications. "KU is in a good position to develop that kind of vaccine."

Toddler gets trapped inside vending machine
ANTIGO, Wis. — A toddler who went fishing for a stuffed cartoon character in a vending machine wound up sharing space with the toy inside the game's plastic cubicle.
Three-year-old Robert Moore tried to scoop out a stuffed replica of SpongeBob SquarePants with the vending machine's plastic crane on Saturday, but had no luck on his first attempt.
While his grandmother, Fredricka Bierdemann, turned her back to get another dollar for a second try. Robert took off his coat and squeezed through an opening in the machine. He landed in the stuffed animal cube.
Store employees couldn't find a key to the machine, so Robert waited while the Antigo Fire Department was called. After spotting two latches inside the plastic cube they passed a screwdriver to Robert, who eventually freed himself.
"I turned around and looked for him, and he said," Oma, I'm in here," Bierdemann said." I thought I would have a heart attack."

GREEK LIFE
Program helps students see effects of drinking alcohol
BY MATT ELDER
Vanessa Pearson/KANSAN
STATE VADO
Jake Lerman and Sam Greenburg, Highland, III., freshmen, race tricycles wearing drunk goggles Wednesday on Wescoe Beach. The goggles helped participants learn about the effects of alcohol on their coordination. Staff from the Wellness Resource Center handed out information about drinking and other health issues.
Six University of Kansas students were given sobriety tests inside the Lied Center Wednesday night.
The greek community held its annual Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself alcohol prevention event and used the six students to demonstrate the effects of being intoxicated.
The six individuals were taxied to the Lied Center after having two, four, or six beers or mixed drinks. Those students, along with a few sober participants, were then given a sobriety test by the KU Public Safety Office to demonstrate the effects of alcohol.
"This has been one of the most far-reaching alcohol events that the University has had or seen," said Sampson Yimer, Lawrence senior and Interfraternity Council vicepresident of risk management.
This is the fifth year the greek community has played host to the prevention event, and a number of changes were made this year, said Katie Melcher, Lenexa senior and member of the Panhellenic Association.
This year's location was the biggest change. The Lied Center provided a
larger space for student capacity than Budig Hall.
Also for the first time, the program was open to the entire student population rather than exclusively to the greek community.
The event was also spon-
the greek community.
All members of the greek community were encouraged to attend the event and the Panhellenic Association required its new pledge members to be in attendance.
"A lot of the time it is amusing," Yimer said. "But the point we're trying to hammer home is the seri-

He said the event was specifically put together not to come across as just another alcohol prevention lecture.
"I got dragged
"i by a buddy
of mine," Rich
Davis, St. Louis
senior, said. "But it was much better than any other alcohol class or lecture I've ever had because it was actually interesting."
Legal Services for Students also
spoke about the repercussions and costs of alcohol-related crimes such as driving under the influence and minors in possession.
Early Wednesday afternoon, the Health Hut from Watkins Health Center also informed students passing by Wescoe Beach about alcohol awareness as part of the Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself event. Students were given goggles that simulated being intoxicated and attempted to ride a tricycle around an obstacle course.
"It gives them the experience of being under the influence while they're not intoxicated," said Angela Badger, Topeka graduate student and member of the Watkins peer education program. "Even though you might not realize it when you're drunk, this is what it's like."

Cabo San Lucas preliminarily approves Wal-Mart
BUSINESS
CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. apparently has no place in paradise.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The world's largest retailer won preliminary approval on Tuesday to build a store in Cabo San Lucas after an almost two-year battle, but opponents vow to continue fighting the project with demonstrations or by blocking roads.
The Los Cabos city council voted unanimously to give conditional approval for the store, requiring it to be nonintrusive, pass environmental studies and not excessively affect traffic in this fishing and resort town of about 80,000 at the tip of the Baja California peninsula.
Residents and shopkeepers, however, fear that the store — first proposed, and rejected, at a site near the middle of the city — could
harm the resort town's laid-back atmosphere, where sports fishermen and tourists mingle with locals on the narrow streets.
Some are also worried that the store, or a proposed highway overpass for it, might replace the trademark stone sea arch as the first view people have when they drive into the city.
"If we have to hold demonstrations, we'll do it, and if it comes to that, block some of the access roads" to Cabo San Lucas, said Sebastian Alvarez, leader of The Union of Organized Businesses, a group of 350 small shopkeepers.
"We are very angry that they're favoring such a big company, without realizing that this is going to affect the people who live here, the small businesses, in a big way," Alvarez said. "The economic impact is going to be fatal, and that has
been proven in many parts of the world."
Mayor Lui Armando Diaz, who governs both Cabo San Lucas and its twin city, San Jose del Cabo, said he believes the city council acted correctly in voting to give preliminary approval.
Officials of Wal-Mart's Mexico subsidiary did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
But Diaz also said Wal-Mart may have to build highway overpass at the new site to handle the increased traffic, which could interfere with some views of the stone arch, a rock formation that reaches into sea.
There are already Home Depot and CostCo outlets on the same highway near the proposed site, but neither has an overpass and it's unclear whether the Wal-Mart store would be larger than those stores.

CAFFEINE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
For students like Logan and Wiedemann, drinking eight or nine Red Bulls in a night provides 640-720 milligrams.
Popular energy drinks like Starbucks Double Shot contain 130 milligrams, while Sobe's No Fear contains 166 milligrams, according to data collected by Energyfend. com.
Coca-Cola's Full Throttle beverage contains about 145 milligrams. Coca-Cola has a contract with the University of Kansas allowing it to distribute its products without competition at the University.
Don't give up on Starbucks quite yet, though. Even for occasional heavy consumers like Logan and Wiedenmann, coffee and caffeine can have positive effects, too.
Coffee is full of antioxidants, and it could help reduce gallstones and Parkinson's Disease symptoms. Chapman said. It could even help with memory problems.
"If you get up and have coffee before a quiz, you'll likely feel more alert," Chapman.
Though caffeine is a stimulant, it leaves the bloodstream quickly. According to the World Health Organization, there is no evidence that links caffeine consumption to addiction, Chapman said.
Logan and Wiedemann don't worry much about occasional caffeine binges. The main concern for the two is the airplane design class that forces them to stay up for days at a time. They often don't even leave the room. Sometimes Wiedemann catches a quick nap on a wooden box with a sandbag as a pillow.
Logan said they had finished one massive report and that the next one was due the Monday after Thanksgiving break. Then it might be time to make another Red Bull run.
"You're awake to a certain extent but maybe not completely coherent" during the rush to finish a report, Logan said. "It's like having finals week for 15 weeks."

South Korea warned not to join others in sanctions
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea warned South Korea against joining international sanctions, saying Wednesday that its neighbor would "pay a high price" if it joins the U.S.-led drive to punish the reclusive communist nation for its nuclear test.
The statement from the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland came as South Korea struggles to determine how it should enforce the U.N. sanctions, including whether to help interdict North Korean cargo ships suspected of transporting materials for unconventional weapons.
"If the South Korean authorities end up joining U.S.-led moves to sanction and stifle (the North) we will regard it as a declaration of confrontation against its own people ... and take corresponding measures," the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland said in a statement.
President Bush dismissed North Korea's threats, saying leader Kim Jong Il was probing for weaknesses.
"The leader of North Korea likes to threaten." Bush told reporters in Washington. "In my judgment, what he's doing is testing the will of the five countries that are working together to convince him there's a better way forward for his people."
The U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a sanctions resolution five days after the North's Oct. 9 test, and a South Korean task force met this week to determine how the country should address the measures.
South Korea's participation in the sanctioning the North is important because the country is one of the main aid providers to the impoverished communist nation, along with China.

Gang-related violence becoming a problem in rural areas
DODGE CITY, Kan. — Dodge City has a rich history as an Old West frontier town, where cowboys and gunsinglers could take a break from the trail and get their fill of saloons and brothels.
Today, the tidy town that was built on meatpacking and rodeos once again is facing off with gunfighters. But this time it's street gangs, some with second-generation members as young as 11, whose drug of choice is

"When it was old Dodge City, it was cowboys coming off the range and ending up in Dodge and raising hell and letting things go," said John Ball, Dodge City chief of police. "This is entirely different. There is no comparison."
methamphetamine and whose weapons range from automatic rifles to baseball bats.
A gang member was hospitalized Tuesday after being hit in the leg in a gang-related drive-by shooting, Ball said. The injury wasn't life-threatening.
About 24,000 gangs operate around the country, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, which estimates there are about 760,000
Street gangs, often thought of as a big-city problem, have been turning up in rural areas across the country since the 1980s, frightening residents and straining manpower and budgets of the smaller law enforcement departments. Rural gangs are often more transitory than their urban counterparts, but they appear to have a foothold in several rural communities.
members, impacting 2,900 communities. Most gangs are in major cities.
But in the 2004 Youth Gang Survey conducted by the Justice Department, 82 percent of large cities surveyed. 42 percent of suburban counties, 27 percent of smaller cities and 14 percent of rural counties reported active youth gangs.
A 2005 study from the University of South Carolina showed 37 percent of towns surveyed in that state with populations of 10,000 or less reported gang activity.

ECONOMY
Meeting to discuss adaptations for rural counties' economy
Decreasing populations call for government action
BY BEN SMITH
.. One of the biggest problems facing rural Kansas counties is keeping people in them.
A conference at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union today will address that problem, and look for a way to make government adapt and economies strengthen.
Analysts, researchers and politicians will discuss the future of Kansas economic and political policy while reviewing data and information concerning population fluctuation, decline and aging in Kansas. Keynote speakers include Suzanne Leland, associate professor of political science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and Rep. Doug Mays (R-Topeka), Speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives.
- In 2000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Grant County — one of the largest counties in southwest Kansas — had a population of at about 7,900. The 2005 estimate had only 7,530 people, most of them living in the county seat of Ulysses, Pop, 6,000. The case is the same in many rural counties.
Joshua Rosenbloom, professor of economics, said that most counties in the State of Kansas had a population less than 7,500 and that virtually all of those counties were losing population.
"Some of these places are going to vanish," Rosenbloom said. "People are going away and there isn't a very big population base to begin with."
Most of those leaving these rural counties are still working while those staying are likely retired, Rosenbloom said.
"The economy stagnates and it becomes more unattractive for
people who live there" Rosenbloom said.
Rosenbloom said the goal was to explore reshaping the local government landscape through city and county consolidation.
The conference is from 8:30 a.m.
to 3:45 p.m. Tickets are $85. Call
864-3701 for more information.

Professor receives possible opportunity to display art
ARTS
BY DANAE DESHAZER
Lawrence Arts Commission will select an artist to provide original works for Wakarusa fire station
Third time's a charm for David Vertaknik.
"I guess I didn't have the luxury to really venture out on my own. But, as my studio grew here, I was given the opportunity to work on bigger projects. I have always been interested in large-scale art, especially in the public," he said.
After applying for the Lawrence Percent for Art program twice before, the associate professor of ceramics never imagined he might get the opportunity to provide an original art piece for the new fire station on Wakarusa Dr.
"I'm a farm boy," Vertacnik said. "The body and nature of my work shows a relationship to the land; it has a connectedness. This piece of work I am working on typifies that. I'd be honored to have it here in Lawrence."
When Vertacnik first began his career as a professor, he did not
have much time to create a lot of work for his art portfolio.
When the city builds a new municipal building, the Percent for Art program in Lawrence requires up to two percent of the money it takes to construct the building to be set aside for art. This money supports an artist to design and construct artwork to accompany the building. Percent for Art received about 40 applicants from around the country for its newest project: the Wakarusa fire station.
The Lawrence Arts Commission makes the final selection.
The Percent for Art committee narrowed the selection down at the end of September. The three artists are now busy creating their proposals for presentation.
"We are very fortunate in Lawrence to have such a successful Percent for Art program," Liz Kowalchuk, co-chair of the Percent for Art committee and Lawrence arts commissioner, said. About $38,000 is available for this project.
An artist will be chosen Dec. 1. The evaluation will include a presentation of each artist's proposal and a model of the artwork. It will also include a question-and-answer session.
Rich Barr of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical said, "I think our local society really enjoys art. For the new station, not only will it be art, it will also represent a profession."
Julee Kessinger, Overland Park senior, has taken two ceramics classes from Vertacnik.
"He was amazing. He loves his work and cares a lot about the success of his students. I think this is a great opportunity for him to show off his talent," Kessinger said.

Lemieux said he thought they had converted 30-40 people to Christianity during the two years they had been preaching at colleges. He said he believed homosexuals were believing Jesus Christ by sinning against him.
Most homosexuals don't believe what they're doing is a sin and most people in society don't believe homosexuality is a sin," Lemieux said. He said telling people they were going to hell helped them to develop a fear of the Lord.
Bryan Pendzinski, Chicago freshman, yells his ideas to the crowd Wednesday on Wescoe Beach. Michael Venyah, a minister with Soulwinnies Ministries International preached to hundreds of students. Students gathered and yelled back at him for several hours.
Lemieux said someone preached to him and told him he was going to hell, turning him into a Christian.
Renee Burnett, a Kansas City, Kan., junior who is bisexual, said she thought the idea that God wanted homosexuals to burn in hell was absolutely wrong. She stood across from Venyah holding a rainbow flag with several other students. "I came here to stand up for the people I love," she said.
Spencer Davidson, Linwood freshman, is a Christian. He said he disagreed with Venyah and Lemieux's message, but he also disagreed with KU students' response to the men.
they're not countering his argument at all and it's not doing anything to help the Christian community or to help people reach Christ."
"They're giving him what he wants by making this into a big event," Davidson said. "By calling him things like a bigoted asshole,

Russ Middaugh, distinguished professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, is in charge of the laboratory that began developing the vaccine in 2002. He said the goal was for the vaccine to be able to be stored at various places around the country and quickly sent to people in case of a bioterrorism attack.
VACCINE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)

According to the Food and Drug Administration, only one form of the anthrax vaccine is licensed in the United States but several are being tested. Middaugh said if the vaccine developed at the University was approved it would probably be after four to six years." "I think it has a good chance of working," he said.
Middaugh said the forms being tested all differed from one another. "Anthrax is a bacterium and people use different pieces of the bacterium to make a vaccine," Middaugh said. "They also use different delivery methods."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the event of a bio-terrorist attack
PHASE 1: Researchers test an experimental drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range and identify side effects.
PHASE 2: The experimental study, drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see whether it's effective and to further evaluate its safety.
phases of clinical trials
PHASE 3:The experimental study, drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments and collect information that will allow the experimental drug or treatment to be used safely.
PHASE 4: Post-marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits and optimal use.
using anthrax the people exposed would receive the current anthrax vaccine.

Middaugh's laboratories specialize in stabilizing vaccines. They stabilized a form of the ricin vaccine, which just completed its first stage of clinical testing. Currently they're working to stabilize the measles vaccine.

Hastert aide testifies about Foley case
House ethics panel is investigating lawmakers, aides who knew of Foley's behavior
BY ANDREW TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — An aide to House Speaker Dennis Hastert on Wednesday went before ethics investigators in private to explain how the office handled complaints about former Rep. Mark Foley's behavior toward former pages.
Ted Van Der Meid, who oversaw the page program for Hastert, R-III., appears to be one of the last witnesses. The House ethics panel is investigating whether lawmakers and staff aides acted properly when learning of Foley's too-friendly messages to ex-pages and other possible inappropriate behavior.
The panel is in its third week of hearing testimony and seems unlikely to complete its probe before
the Nov. 7 elections.
Van Der Meid was a central figure in the handling of a complaint last fall from a former page from Louisiana. Hastert's office was alerted to the "over friendly" e-mails and dispatched then-Clerk of the House Jeff Trandahl and Rep. John Shimkus, R-Ill., to confront Foley, R-Fla.
Former top Foley aide Kirk Fordham has told the committee that Hastert's chief of staff, Scott Palmer, knew of earlier incidents involving Foley.
Foley abruptly resigned Sept. 29 after being confronted with sexually explicit e-mails sent in 2003 to a former page from Oklahoma.
No lawmaker has acknowledged knowing of sexually graphic e-mails. They surfaced only after news
broke that Foley last fall had sent a too-friendly message to the former Louisiana page. But a small group of lawmakers and top GOP staff aides

A key question for investigators
over the page program a prominent responsibility — and was in frequent contact with Hastert's office.
Rather than investigating Foley, the fourmember investigative panel
A small group of lawmakers and top GOP staff aides have known for years of inappropriate messages and rumors of bad behavior by Foley toward pages.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert walks away from the media after answering questions Oct. 10 in Aurora, Ill. Sid联名 by scandal, Hastert has been largely absent from the campaign trail in October as Democrats mount their strongest challenge in a decade to the Republicans' grip on the House.
is trying to determine who knew about his behavior toward pages and whether more should have been done to stop it.
Trandahl was appointed to the clerk's post — with responsibility
for investigators who iselseknew about Foley. Fordham's account has been disputed by Palmer, but Trandahl reportedly has backed up Fordham's story.
The panel
may want to know what Van Der Meid knew about earlier incidents regarding Foley.
For example, the panel has been asked to look into rumors that several years ago Foley tried to
enter the page dorm while drunk,
an incident that Fordham has testified about.
Trandahl and Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., learned in 2001 or 2002 of an episode in which Foley sent an ex-page inappropriate e-mails.
In those instances, Foley's inappropriate behavior with former pages have been handled by
a few staff aides and lawmakers, rather than being investigated more fully. Foley's misbehavior did not cease.
The panel heard Tuesday from Hastert, who urged it to wrap up its investigation quickly. He said he answered questions to the best of his ability, but his recollection differs from other GOP leaders.

Preserved bones found at World Trade Center
Experts predict bones will yield identifiable DNA
BY SARA KUGLER
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
NEW YORK — Human bones unearthed at the World Trade Center site in recent days are so well preserved that they will yield usable DNA, experts predicted Wednesday.
The remains — found last week after utility crews doing routine work opened up a manhole that had been paved over — are believed to belong to Sept. 11 trade center victims, 40 percent of whom have not had any remains identified.
The collection has grown to more than 130 pieces, including whole bones, shards and one-inch splinters.
"However they got there, it was certainly right at the time of the event, so they've been protected for five years and haven't been subjected to weather," said Bradley Adams, the
Bones buried with no exposure to extreme temperatures tend to be better preserved, said Ed Huffine, the head scientist on the project at Bode Technology Group, the Virginia company handling Sept. 11 bone fragments.
"I would be very optimistic about being able to obtain DNA profiles from these cases," he said.
city medical examiner's lead forensic anthropologist on site.
Families of victims with no identified remains said they felt conflicted about the recent discoveries.
"Obviously I want to know if they find something, but on the other hand it just opens it all back up again," said Lynn Castrianno, whose brother, Leonard, was killed.
The city has identified 12 underground areas that need to be explored. All are along the western edge of the site.

OUR VIEW
KU buses should better accommodate disabled
Imagine being treated differently than the rest of the student body, having to ride in a van to classes and not getting to ride the bus like other students.
That's the problem students with disabilities have when using the LiftVans provided by KU on Wheels, rather than an adequate bus that can accommodate their needs. Disabled students have long been overlooked and it's time we pay attention to their needs.
For years now, leaders from AbleHawks have pleaded with KU on Wheels to make changes to the bus system, but their concerns have not been addressed. Obviously, just look at the buses as they continue to spew black fumes as they crawl through campus.
It's unfair for students with disabilities to be cast aside. That does not constitute fair treatment. KU on Wheels toes the line when it comes to violating the Americans with Disabilities Act, which stipulates that public transportation systems must
The LiftVans provide an inadequate answer. Students don't have the leisure to decide which bus they will hop onto. They are stuck with a fixed schedule.
Providing new buses that adequately fit the needs of disabled students could also provide another solution, as they could be an environmentally-friendly form of transportation.
provide access to those with disabilities. If not accessible, then comparable transportation is required.
A $150,000 study is working on how KU on Wheels and the city's public transportation system can merge. The study has received input from students, but as it continues to move forward it should especially listen to those who have been forgotten. It's time it listened to AbleHawks leaders and other students with disabilities. It's been way too long since we listened to their needs.
Louis Mora for the editorial board.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
LiftVans better than buses, not a'consolation prize'
A recent letter to the editor noted how the KU on Wheels buses are "accessible only to able-bodied students." While I agree with this point I must object to the description of the LiftVans as "a kind of consolation prize." Speaking as a student who has had to use this service, it is better than the KU buses. Let me explain;
1. The LiftVans will pick you up at your place of residence. The only rule is that "All rides must originate and terminate within the city limits of Lawrence."
2. LiftVans will take you anywhere on campus. There are currently no buses that stop at Watkins, Spencer, JRP or Blake Hall and only two buses that service Robinson, Summerfield, Haworth, Computing
Services Facility and the Dole Human Development Center.
3. The LiftVans are operated by just a few drivers. When the same two people drive you to all of your classes, you get to know them pretty well. With that, there is a possibility that they will call you when you're late instead of just driving off. The same cannot be said for the buses.
As a student body, we should be aware of those among us who struggle to do what we take for granted. We should lobby for buses that are accessible to students with disabilities. And we should support the LiftVans as an alternative to the sometimes overcrowded and undependable buses.

Money matters more than votes
COMMENTARY
Your vote doesn't mean much when weighed against $1.37 billion.
Every election season, I read editorials and columns emphasizing the importance of voting as your civic duty. Student newspapers particularly love this call to action. Vote! Or you're a crappy American.
PETER SHEERMAN
I'd love to tell you how great the democratic process is, how special we are to elect our own leaders. But I just don't have a lot of faith in that process or its special-ness when I think about it as a $1.37 billion industry.
BY COURTNEY FARR
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINIONKANSAN.COM
You never see much of the big picture of campaign finances.
That figure is how much congressional incumbents and hopefuls have collected so far during the 2005-06 campaign cycle, according to figures from the Federal Elections Commission. That's not even the end of it. The reports from the FEC are only current to Sept. 30. The millions raised in the final month of furious campaigning aren't included in that total.
I couldn't find this figure anywhere by itself. I looked at campaign finance for this column and started adding the numbers up. I included the money raised by every national congressional candidate who raised campaign contributions of more than $1,000 in the last two years.
Newspapers love to contrast how much this candidate raised versus that one. Who's on top this week? When you talk about the campaign industry in big numbers, it's depressing.
For some context, that's more than the combined wages of 40,000 Kansans, based on an average wage of $33,844, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
It would also pay for a year's tuition at the University for more than 241,000 students.
That still doesn't tell the scope of how big this industry is. Individual contributors and Political Action Committees dump millions more into races for governor, state legislature and local office.
Politics, the industry, doesn't care about your vote. Phill Kline's recent "church memo" reveals that.
"Get the pastor to invite 5 'money people', whom he knows can help," Kline wrote in the memo, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. While Kline has been roundly criticized for the religious orientation of his efforts, his attitude isn't unique to any politician or party. You just don't usually get that blunt of a peek into a candidate's campaign thinking.
You are a check before you are a vote or a constituent to any politician.
I wish my vote mattered, I really do. I'll vote, but when weighed against the billion-dollar behemoth that is our political landscape, I just don't really think it will mean much.
I don't want to feel this cynical or angry about politics. But I believe in the power of money much more than I believe in politicians' promises.
My advice to those of you who want to make a difference in politics: Don't worry about your vote. Get your education, the more the better. Pile up the letters behind your name. The more letters, the more money you'll make. Knock down a six- or seven-figure salary. Better yet, start the next YouTube. Then let your money speak in place of your vote. It might actually get the attention of your politician. It'll definitely go a hell of a lot further than just your vote.

But when people see a food item without fat, they think they can eat a whole box of that product. This doesn't mean it is calorie free. Removing trans fats from your diet can make you forget that foods have calories, and when it comes to obesity, the amount you eat is more important that what you eat. It's better to eat one brownie than a box of trans-fat-free cookies because one brownie contains fewer calories than an entire box of trans-fat-free or fat-free cookies.

Another confusing topic is fat. Unsaturated fats are the good fats; these include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated, which can be found in nuts, olive oil, avocados and fish. Saturated and trans fats are the enemy. While unsaturated fats provide health benefits when eaten in moderation (key word — moderation) and raise HDL (good cholesterol), saturated and trans fats raise cholesterol levels, which can lead to heart disease in some cases.

New Jersey gay couples win rights
Court rules that lawmakers must allow marriage or something similar
BY GEOFF MULVIHILL ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey's highest court opened the door Wednesday to making the state the second in the nation to allow gay marriage, ruling that lawmakers must offer same-sex couples either marriage or something like it, such as civil unions.
In a ruling that fell short of what either side wanted or feared, the state Supreme Court declared 4-3 that gay couples are entitled to the same rights as heterosexual ones. The justices gave lawmakers 180 days to rewrite the laws.
The ruling is similar to the 1999 high-court ruling in Vermont that led the state to create civil unions, which confer all of the rights and benefits available to married couples under state law.
"Although we cannot find that a fundamental right to same-sex marriage exists in this state, the unequal dispensation of rights and benefits to committed same-sex partners can no longer be tolerated under our state Constitution," Justice Barry T. Albin wrote for the four-member majority.
The court said the Legislature "must either amend the marriage statutes to include same-sex couples or create a parallel statutory structure" that gives gays all the privileges and obligations married couples have.
The three dissenters argued that the majority did not go far enough. They demanded full marriage for gays.
Gay rights activists had seen New Jersey as a promising place because it is a largely Democratic state in the Northeast. The only state to allow
gay marriage is Massachusetts. The only states allowing civil unions are Vermont and Connecticut. New Jersey is also one of just five states that have no law or constitutional amendment expressly banning gay marriage.
If the court had legalized gay marriage outright, the effect could have been more far-reaching, and New Jersey could have become more of a magnet for gay couples than Massachusetts, which has a law barring out-of-state couples from marrying there if their marriages would not be recognized in their home states. New Jersey has no such law.
A clear-cut ruling legalizing gay marriage this close to Election Day could also have been a political bombshell to arouse Republicans. Eight states have gay marriage bans on their November ballots.

Murderer of students executed in Florida
CRIME
The bodies of his victims were found over three days in late August, just as the University of Florida's fall semester was beginning. All had been killed with a hunting knife. Some had been mutilated, sexually assaulted and put in shocking poses. One girl's severed head had been placed on a shelf, her body posed as if seated.
STARKE, Fla. — Danny Harold Rolling, Florida's most notorious serial killer since Ted Bundy, was executed by lethal injection Wednesday for butchering five college students in a ghastly string of slayings that terrorized Gainesville in 1990.
Rolling, 52, was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m. EDT, more than 16 years after his killing rampage at the start of the University of Florida's fall semester.
Belongings that Rolling left at a campsite in the woods and DNA taken after a later arrest for robbery linked him to the slayings. When he came up for trial in 1994, he shocked the courtroom by pleading guilty.
The killing spree touched off a huge manhunt and plunged the laid-back college town into panic. Students fled and residents armed themselves.
Brutal killings terrorized Gainesville in 1990
"There are some things you just can't run from, this being one of those," Rolling told the judge, who later sentenced him to death.
The attention surrounding Rolling's impending execution reopened old wounds in Gainesville and for the families of the victims.
More than 100 protesters gathered near dozens of death penalty supporters, curious onlookers and journalists on the barren cow pasture across from the prison, possibly the largest turnout since Bundy's execution.
Dianna Hoyt, whose stepdaughter was killed by Rolling and decapitated, planned to watch the execution at Florida State Prison. "This is a tough thing, but is a necessary thing to go through," she said, adding, "It is very hard for us to see someone else die. But he deserves it."
The victims' families ran an advertisement Thursday in The Gainesville Sun, thanking the community for its support: "We hope you will remember August 1990 and the years that followed without any sense of community shame for what has happened here. You turned a blemish into a rose."
Bundy, suspected in the deaths and disappearances of 36 women, died in the electric chair in 1989 in the same death chamber. The case was still fresh in the minds of many when Rolling's killings began the following year in roughly the same area as some of Bundy's crimes.

Barmann to replace injured Meier
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Kansas' dwindling bowl chances took another serious hit Wednesday with the news of another change at quarterback.
Major
Meier
Kerry Meier's injured right shoulder will not be healed enough for him to play Saturday against Colorado, coach Mark Mangino announced after
Barmann
Wednesday's practice. That means senior Adam Barmann will once again be the starter for the fourth time in the last six
"Kerry cannot go." Mangino said.
"It just isn't functional."
Meier reinjured his right shoulder in Saturday's loss at Baylor.
Mangino said Barmann had taken the majority of snaps with the first
team offense in practice the past few days.
With Barmann back in the starting lineup, Kansas' offensive game plan would seem to veer away from the dual rushing attack of Meier and running back Jon Cornish that was so successful early in the Baylor game.
Instead, Kansas will likely rely on Cornish for more carries and limit the passing from Barmann, which was used early in the conference season. The problem Kansas ran into with that offense was Barmann's
continual struggle to hang on to the football. In his three starts earlier this season, Barmann had two fumbles and four interceptions.
Mangino said the key this week would be for the coaches to call plays based on Barmann's strengths.
"I feel good about Adam." Mangino said. "He knows the offense, makes a lot of good plays. Mentally, he understands the game plans very well because he's a veteran guy. We think he'll do well."
Barmann struggled in limited action against Baylor last week. He
never seemed to get into a rhythm and was unable to help the offense mount a scoring drive to preserve the layhawks' lead. He was only 4-10 for 25 yards with an interception in four possessions.
In five games this season, Barmann has completed 53 percent of his passes and has thrown three touchdowns and four interceptions. As a starter, Barmann is 1-2 on the season.
Meier reinjured his right shoulder against Baylor when he scrambled toward the Kansas sideline. After
he was hit, Meier fell onto his right shoulder, rolled over and lay on the ground for several minutes before getting up. Meier was originally injured late in the Sept. 15 game at Toledo when he was tackled and had his right shoulder driven into the turf.

Postseason odds lessen with loss against Sooners
Oklahoma continued its storybook season last night when it defeated Kansas during a four-game match.
KANBAE KANBAE KAN
Oklahoma (18-4, 10-2 Big 12) finished last in the conference one year ago and was placed at 10th in the preseason this year, but has ascended to second place. Kansas (10-11, 3-9) is currently tied for seventh.
"Last year, they lost so many close matches," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "They went into one of those cycles where they didn't think anything good was going to happen and now, they don't think they're going to lose."
lica innvar/KANSAN
The Sooners defeated the Jayhawks by scores of 30-23, 30-19, 27-30 and 30-25 last night in the Horeisi Family Athletics Center.
Despite the loss, Kansas freshman middle blocker Brittany Williams had a career-high 20 kills last night.
"I just attribute it to my team," Williams said. "They wanted it bad, and I wanted it bad."
Beachard said Williams looked like an All-American at times.
With the loss, however, Kansas postseason chances became slim.

Bechard said the Jayhawks needed to win at least four more games to have a shot at the postseason. Kansas snuck into the postseason last year with a 7-13 conference record.
Brittany Williams, freshman middle blocker, hits the ball during the Jayhawks game against the Sooners. Williams averages 2.68 points a game for a season total of 174.5 points.
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said she wanted to become a part of Kansas volleyball history by being the only class to reach the NCAA tournament all four years.
"I just have eight more games
left," she said. "It's very important to me. We need to win."
In game one, Kansas fought a 2-8 score to tie it at 20-20. Oklahoma pulled ahead by scoring 10 more points, while Kansas got only three. The Sooners were led by senior outside hitter Joanna Schmitt who had a game-high five kills.
After the Jayhawks scored the first point, Oklahoma pulled away and never trailed again in game two, cruising to an 11-point victory. The Sooners committed zero errors in the game, while the Jayhawks committed nine.

SHE SCORES, KANSAS WINS
Team undefeated when Jessica Bush knocks in a goal
THEBY MARK DENT
Jessica Bush, sophomore midfielder/forward, has become an important part to the Jayhawks soccer team this season. Bush is leading the team with seven goals, including three straight game wins. Kansas is undefeated during Bush's career when she scores.
Jessica Bush said she didn't mind facing bigger, stronger players despite her 5-foot-2-inch height.
Considering the hits she's taken during her career on the soccer field, it's obvious to see why she no longer worries about taller opponents.
"Jessica Smith turned and hit me, and I had a black eye for two weeks," said the sophomore midfielder/forward. "People came up to me and said, 'Man you were the one who had that black eye when I met you."
This year there was the facial. At Nebraska Bush charged toward one of the Huskers near midfield and was given a ball to the face for her aggressiveness.
Lisa Linovar/KANSAN
"I was pressuring the girl and all of the sudden I was on the ground," she said. "Obviously, I had a pretty good headache."
The mishaps haven't fazed Bush. It's her opponents who felt the pain while Bush helped lead Kansas to four straight victories.
"Bushy's a bit of a spark plug." Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "She's always knba buzzing around
Bush's play during the Jayhawks streak has been remarkable. She's scored at least one goal each game, set a school record by scoring the game-winning goal in three straight games and been named to the Soccer Buzz National Team of the Week.
and making things happen. She has a knack for doing that."
Bush has been scoring more for multiple reasons. Francis said it was partially because she has been playing more of an attacking role
and being in the right place at the right time. As for the modest Bush, she said the play of her teammates Holly Gault, Monica Dolinsky and Missy Geha had been the biggest reason.
"A lot of the goals I've had aren't anything great," she said. "I've just had good balls by people."

Sophomore receiver could save season's football hopes
If the jayhawks are going to reel off the three victories needed to become bowl-eligible, they will need an improved passing game in the second half as well as a passion for victory.
Sophomore Dexton Fields could be the solution for Kansas in both categories. As Kansas' No. 3 wide receiver, Fields has sure hands and a

knack for making the big play. But Fields has added something more to the Kansas offense that can't be coached.
Fields
"What he adds is his heart." sophomore receiver Marcus Herford said.
"He plays with nothing but heart.
He plays hard every play and does a
great job."
After rotating wide receiving positions throughout his high school career, Fields has found his niche as Kansas' inside receiver, a position that some receivers shy away from because with it comes the responsibility of frequently crossing the middle of the field, where hard-hitting linebackers lurk. Nevertheless, Fields has become the go-to guy in the red zone for jayhawk quarterbacks.
According to Fields, the inside
receiver role suits him best. And while inside receivers may take more brutal hits than outside receivers, he said the Kansas offense rarely put him in vulnerable situations.
Of course, Kansas shouldn't be surprised by Fields' production near the goal line. His only catch of 2005 was a 15-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter of the Iowa State game. The ensuing extra point tied
With Fields ready and willing to brave the middle of the field, he's become the main target for his quarterbacks when in the red zone. He leads the team with five touchdown receptions, and his longest of the season came from 20 yards out.
"With our schemes and the plays that we have, it's not like we're going to be taking on a lot of head-on hits going across the middle," Fields said. "If the quarterback is throwing it to you, it's probably because you're open. You don't need to fear a linebacker trying to rip your head off."
the game, 21-21, before Kansas won in oyertime, clinching a ball berth
He has also been the lone bright spot for Kansas' passing attack the last three games. While Fields has caught a touchdown pass the past three weeks against Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Baylor, Kansas has passed for just 64, 97 and 43 yards, respectively, in the second half of those games.

The plan, first announced last month, was approved at the recommendation of new commissioner Roger Goodell, who said the benefits of reaching an international audience outweighed the loss of some teams' home games.

Loss of Giles not fatal to Jayhawks
10
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
RCOLAIANNI@KANSAN.COM
Let's just say that this entire C.J. Giles fiasco could have been a lot worse.
It could have been Julian Wright. It could have been Brandon Rush. Instead it was a player who likely would not have started this season.
Yes, the loss of Giles is going to have an effect on the Kansas basketball team, but it won't be detrimental to the Jayhawks' title hopes. Kansas has too much depth and too much talent this season to allow that to happen.
Giles started 13 games last season, but only two of those were conference games. Giles eventually lost his starting position to Sasha Kaun, who was the likely choice to start this season at center. Now the job is definitely Kaun's.
Except for his performance during last year's spectacular come-from-behind victory against Oklahoma where he played his best game defensively, Giles never did anything exceptional on the floor.
Throughout his first two seasons, Giles was inconsistent. One game he was blocking five shots, the next he was picking up two fouls in the first five minutes of the game. He struggled from the free-throw line and fell in love with his jump shot at the wrong times.
Giles skipped practice, apparently has academic issues and has legal troubles for allegedly failing to pay child support. All of this has led to his indefinite suspension.
"I think I said last week he would have the opportunity to possibly straighten some personal issues out," Self told reporters. "There hasn't been enough time elapsed to know if that has been done. But there are so many things, it would be very difficult for him to do that ever at Kansas."
The decision could come as early as this week for Giles and then the distractions will end for the other Kansas basketball players. They will no longer have to wonder whether Giles will be back and can focus strictly on the season ahead.
Giles' loss could force sophomore forward Julian Wright to continue his play at the power forward position this year. Coach Bill Self said before the season that Bill would
play more at his natural position, the small forward. Wright, at least early on, will be expected to continue guarding bigger players underneath the basket, a role he played so well last year. Wright will probably be able to play more of the small forward position this year but will have to wait until freshman forward Darrell Arthur develops and understands the complexities of the college game.
Giles' situation is all-too-familiar in college athletics. Collegiate players who believe they have the ability to play in the NBA sometimes also have the idea that they can do anything they want. I don't know whether this was the way Giles was thinking, but obviously something didn't register. Last season he played limited minutes after failing to attend class for the first day of the spring semester.
For now, we will wait to see whether Giles will get it all together before the season starts. Even if he doesn't, the lajayhills will still be the deepest team in the country.

"She's good at her job," Williams said. "I'll bet she could set a ball off the court in the stands and still put it where it needs to be."
Martincich entered the game eighth in assists in the Big 12 Conference averaging 11.80 per game.She contributed 53 assists and 11 during the match.
Martincich made a diving attempt at a ball and crashed into press row. Her effort coincided with Kansas' play during games

Cohen saved all five shots in the overtime shootout with Kansas State, in which attackers start with the ball 35 yards out and have five seconds to score. The team hoisted the tournament trophy for the second time in three years.
The team won the Ed Chartrand Memorial Tournament during last weekend in Manhattan and is undefeated in its past seven games. The Jayhawks outscored opponents 25-4 on the way to a 9-1-2 record. The team will need to win the Region IV tournament next week in Stillwater, Okla., in order to receive a spot in the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association Collegiate Soccer Sport Club Championships in Tempe, Ariz.
The University of Kansas men's soccer club hopes to carry its current winning streak into the regional tournament next week, when the team will play for a spot at nationals.
The club defeated Iowa State, Kansas State and St. Louis in round-robin play before a championship game rematch with Kansas State at last weekend's tournament. With goalkeeper and former tournament MVP Mike Kutz, St. Louis senior, forced to the bench in the second half with a sprained shoulder, the Jayhawks had to go to Alex Cohen, Birmingham, Ala., junior, off the bench.

"I think that winning game three was big for us."
Martinicch said the Jayhawks' ability to win the third match showed the team still had hopes for an NCAA bid, and would be ready to play Saturday against Texas Tech.
"Cohen really came up huge and made some big time saves," said Kutz. "This game really showed

The team started to roll following a 4-0 victory at Southwest Baptist University. Kutz sparked the squad with his first career hit trick, despite the team playing with only 10 men. The lajhwaks have been cruising with their eyes on the finish line ever since.

FANTASY FOOTBALL THURSDAY
Bringing girlfriends along leads list of fantasy football crimes
I would be remiss if I wrote a semester-long fantasy football column and didn't mention ethics. Anyone who's been offered Chris Cooley for Torry Holt knows that there are certain practices that aren't just unethical, they're practically criminal. They are as follows:
1) If a fantasy league gets together to watch the games on Sunday or Monday, bringing one's girlfriend is strictly prohibited. It's not that we don't like your girlfriend, though that may be the case. It's that a girl has no place in a room full of unshowered, unshaven guys. Furthermore, it's not fair to assume your buddies are okay with hearing "Wow, Seattle's coach has a really bushy mustache" and "No. 18 has really cute legs" while trying to calculate their points. Penalty is forcing the offender to attend next year's draft wearing a tank top, skirt and UGG boots.
2) Unethical behavior of any kind made by the commissioner will be considered criminal. My buddy Craig told me about a league where the commissioner saw that someone dropped a player he wanted, and instead of waiting for the
player to clear waivers, he changed the waiver wire rules to get the player on his team in time for the Sunday games. Penalty is making the offender wear a Kenny Rogers jersey for two weeks. The commish will, however, be encouraged to run for Congress.
3) Failure to check your lineup during the season will not be tolerated. It's not difficult to take five minutes to ensure you aren't starting any players on their bye week. If you have Willie Parker against Oakland on your bench, and Kevin Jones on his bye in your starting lineup this week, there's a problem. You would be essentially giving your opponent a free victory. Penalty is your league having the opportunity to form tackle you in the open field.
4) The league message board is to be used frequently and appropriately. It's a great tool for busting the chops of fellow league members. A post ridiculing a league member for his decision to start Reuben Droughts against Denver's defense is perfectly acceptable. What's really unacceptable is an expletive-filled post crying about a two-point loss. We know that if Alge Crumpler
hadn't dropped that pass in the end zone against New Orleans in week three you would have won. Get over it. Penalty is forfeiture of next year's second round draft pick and eight hours of anger management classes.
5) Lopsided trade offers will not be tolerated. Perhaps the most violated of all fantasy football laws, they have been troubling fantasy football managers for years. Jamal Lewis and Amani Toomer do not combine to equal the value of LaDainian Tomlinson, so stop trying. Another offense is a manager letting a trade offer sit for a week or two. This allows the opportunity, in the case that the player they would give up gets injured, to accept the stale trade and ship an injured player to another manager. Penalty is the forfeiture of trade privileges for a full calendar year and the offender will be responsible for all pizza and beer purchases for the next league gathering.

Athletics Department pulls in $20M more than last year
CAMPUS
The Kansas Athletics Department keeps getting richer.
revenues. This year's contributions and grants total $31,899,373, up from $16,300,747. A major cause of the increase was donations for the new football facility.
The audit was done by an in dependent firm, and the numbers represent July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2006.
An audit of the athletics department was released Wednesday at the board meeting of directors. The audit showed that the department's revenues increased by more than $20 million to $69,720,638;
however, expenses also went up by just more than $8 million to $47,139,664.
Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins, who said he was seeing the audit report for the first time, kept repeating, "we're healthy," Wednesday afternoon.

The biggest increase in revenues came from contributions and grants made to the department, making up almost half of the
timing or blind luck, all that matters is that Bush picked up her game at a time when Kansas desperately needed it. Before goals came consistently from Bush, the Jayhawks couldn't find the back of the net with a GPS. They scored only two goals during a six-game stretch in which they went 2-4 and fell into the middle of the pack in the Big 12. Bush said the low point came after the team got swept by Texas and Texas A&M the weekend of Oct. 6.
"The weekend stunk; it was awful that we lost to both of them," she said. "But I think a good thing happened cause we haven't lost since."
And what better a stage for Bush and the Jayhawks to show their improvement than Columbia, Mo. Bush, a Blue Springs, Mo., native, had multiple friends and family members watching. She put on a
SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
But statistics don't tell enough of Bush's story. To see the spark that Bush brings to the Kansas soccer team, one must observe the way she never gives up on a ball, always finds a way to be in the middle of the action and, most importantly, the emphasis she places on the winning as a team rather than her own achievements.
Freshman forward Monica Dolinsky attempted a shot that bounced off a Missouri defender toward Bush's feet. Bush collected the rebound and fired the ball off the post and into the net. Early in the second half, Bush received another Dolinsky pass in the left corner and bent it into the right side of the net for the first multi-goal game of her career in the 4-0 victory. The victory helped ruin Missouri's senior day.
"I never really thought about game-winning goals until people brought that up this year," Bush said. "At this point in the season, it's great to be like 'I scored today,' but we need goals to win."
Kansan sportswriter Mark Dent can be contacted at mdent@kansan.com.
"That game was just fun in itself, the rivalry. It was raining and their senior day," Bush said. "I think that was the turnaround for us."
Edited by Travis Robinett
One statistic illustrates how important Bush has been throughout her career: When Bush scores, the Jayhawks are 10-0 including a 6-0 record this season.

show that began only seven minutes into the match.
So, with a struggling passing game and Fields' big-play ability, it would seem that he could help solve Kansas' passing woes. Still, Fields doesn't get caught up in his numbers. Instead, he credits his quarterbacks for finding him, and his fellow receivers for helping him find openings in opposing defenses.
"The outside receivers, they stretch the field to make the safe
I wasn't setting any kind of expectations," Fields said. "I just wanted to do good, win, and go to a bowl game. I wasn't trying to catch the most touchdowns."
However Fields has a greater desire to win three or four more games than catch three or four more touchdown passes.
Kansas has four games left on its schedule, and its postseason hopes are faint, yet Fields is on the verge of setting school records. He needs only three more touchdowns to set the Kansas record for receiving touchdowns in a season by a sophomore. Four more touchdowns will giveFields the most receiving touchdowns in a season by any Jayhawk.

BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS
Chesang's showing difficult to predict
PARKSIDE
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHILLIES@KANSAN.COM
You think figuring out this year's football team is hard?
That's basic arithmetic compared to figuring out Benson Chesang.
Tomorrow at Rim Rock Farm (see map, 5B), Chesang, Eldama Ravine, Kenya, senior, will attempt to win his thirdstraight Big 12 Conference Cross Country title.
It would be a fitting way for a tremendous runner to finish his career, and all of it in front of a home crowd.
But there's a problem. So far this season he hasn't been the best runner in the conference. He hasn't even been the best runner on his own team.
After his second Big 12 title last October, he decided to redshirt during the spring track season. Since coming back, his speeding-bullet times have become much more pedestrian.
This year he was held out of the first two races, in an attempt to keep him fresh for the later part of the season. In his first race of the year, at the Roy Griak invitational in Minneapolis, Chesang finished 44th.
At his only other meet, the NCAA Pre-Nationals two weeks ago, he finished in 30th place overall, and third among KU men. So which Benson is coming to Rim Rock tomorrow?
"I'll definitely get there by the end of the year," he said. "But I can't say I'm really in that peak shape right now."
Nobody is denying his talent. His Big 12 titles and national tournament appearances speak for themselves. The only question is whether he'll be motivated.
"My goal is to perform well at national meets," he said. "And maybe even this Big 12 meet." This Big 12 meet is one of the most important things to happen to the Jayhawks in some time. By showcasing Rim Rock Farm well, the school could qualify to host NCAA tournaments in the future.
In addition, the team will have possibly its best chance ever to unseat Colorado, who has won the Big 12 Cross Country championship for 10 straight years.
And how did Chesang spend his redshirt semester?
"I ran a little bit," he said.
"But I just sat on my butt most of the time."
On Friday morning we'll see which Benson Chesang comes to Rim Rock Farm. The two-time Big 12 champion, biochemistry major, and one of the best Jayhawk runners ever. Or the Benson Chesang that finished 44th and 30th this season, and won't say whether he is the best runner on the team.
"I think Benson is as talented as anybody," coach Stanley Redwine said. "The best runner is the one that is going to show where he's at mentally and physically."
And if that's not Benson, we can always get him a football uniform.

RIM ROCK FARM
Steve Heffernan takes care of Rim Rock Farm, the home course for the Kansas cross country team. Heffernan lives at Rim Rock with his family to keep it in shape. He also coaches and teaches at Lawrence Free State High School.
CARETAKER DEDICATES LIFE TO KEEP CROSS COUNTRY COURSE IN SHAPE
BY C.J. MOORE
It was 28 degrees at 4:30 Tuesday morning but Steve Heffernan wasn't in bed like most of Lawrence. He was working on Rim Rock Farm, the KU cross country team's home course, and the site of both Friday's Big 12 Conference Cross Country Championships and this weekend's Kansas State High School Championships.
Heffernan spends hours on the course, often late into the night. During the past eight weeks, between
his job as property manager on the farm and as a teacher and cross country coach for Lawrence Free State High School, Heffernan has worked 78 to 85 hours per week.
In addition, for the past two years Heffernan and his family have lived on the course in a cabin.
"My wife always wondered prior to moving out here, 'what do you do out there?' Heffernan said. "Then after moving out here, she said, 'Now I understand, because there's always something you have to take care of.'"
Heffernan has helped take care of Rim Rock for 17 of the past 20 years. Former cross country coach Bob Timmons, who built the course on his farm in the early 1970s, donated Rim Rock to the University two years ago. He didn't want to leave the course to just anybody.
Heffernan was a logical choice
"When he left he wanted to make sure that there was someone that would take care of the farm and do it real well and it just worked out that that was me," Heffernan said.
for Timmons, because since Heffernan has been in Kansas, Rim Rock has been a big part of his life.
Heffernan grew up in Nebraska and started running cross country his freshman year of high school, the first year cross country was offered in the state. After high school he had an opportunity to come to Kansas to run cross country for Timmons.
He spent his first few weeks in Kansas, in 1986, he spent on the farm working for Timmons
because Timmons put his cross country teams to work there. He helped build the course into what it is today. Heffernan's first memory from when he arrived in Lawrence was carrying stones up a hill to build a staircase on the course.
"It was a lot of fun," he said. "And, ironically, over the years it's amazing how many people just like to come out and work on it. It's not like a true farm. It's kind of like taking care of a park."

Men, women enjoy home advantage at championships
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
As the Big 12 Conference Cross Country Championships roll into Lawrence on Friday morning, the question is the same as it has been every year: Can anyone defeat Colorado?
The Buffaloes have won the event every time it has been held, and will be the favorites this weekend. But the Jayhawks have a nationally ranked team as well as home-field advantage.
"I believe Rim Rock is one of the top five courses in the nation for a cross country event," he said.
Kansas coach Stanley Redwine will look to show off his team as well as the course.
The women's 6K meet will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, and the men's 8K meet will start at 11 a.m.
LISA MORRISEY
Both the Kansas men and women's teams won at Rim Rock earlier this season at the Bob Timmons Invitational. The runners said they were excited about having the Big 12 Championships in their backyard. The Jayhawks plan to use to their knowledge of the course to their
"Obviously, we know how to run it, but it is one of the hardest courses in the Midwest."
advantage.
"The race was a good learning experience," junior Melissa O'Rourke said. "We all got to see what the Big 12 Championships is going to be like."
Women's cross country runner
O'Rourke ran the best time for the KU women at the Bob Timmons Invitational and finished sixth.
"Obviously, we know how to run it, but it is one of the hardest courses in the Midwest," junior Lisa Morrissey said.
Friday's race will consist of each team's best five runners, and the scores will be compiled into a team score. The top two teams will advance to NCAA regionals, accompanied by other at-large teams selected by a
committee. Last year Kansas finished third at the event and received an at-large bid.
The men's team has been ranked throughout the year and will enter the meet ranked 19th in the nation by the U.S. Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association.
For the visiting teams, however, all eyes will be on Rim Rock Farm in addition to the Jayhaws.
Benson Chesang, the Jayhawks two-time defending Big 12 Champion who did not compete in the Bob Timmons Invitational because of a coach's decision, said he didn't feel any pressure.
"I'm not going to shoot myself if I don't win," he said. "I'm a sportsman, but I'd still like to, though," he said.
The men have a good chance to improve their third-place finish at last year's Big 12 Championships, though the goal, according to Redwine, is to win.
"Last year we did pretty well for what we had, but this year we have a better team," Morrisey said.
"You have to go in with the idea that you want to win. That's our goal." Redwine said.
The women look to place in the top half of the conference.

Cross country championship held at Kansas for first time
Kansas will act as host for the Big 12 Championship cross country meet for the first time in Big 12 history.
Rim Rock Farm is the home course for the men's and women's team. It is a well-known course throughout the nation.
"We believe Rim Rock Farm is the premier cross country site in the nation," Athletics Director Lew Perkins said in a press release. "We're looking forward to showing it off to the rest of the conference. The experience will be a highlight of these student-athlete's careers."
The course has a lot of history to it. Here are some interesting facts about the course and the Big 12 Cross Country meet.
Rim Rock
Kansas hosted the 1998 NCAA Division I and Division II National Championships meet at Rim Rock.
Kansas hosted the Big Eight Cross Country Championships in 1983, 1991 and 1995.
Rim Rock is the home to the Kansas State High School Cross Country meet for larger classifications each fall.
>> Rim Rock has been the home course for the Jayhawks since 1974.
The property that the course is on used to be owned by former Kansas head cross country coach Bob Timmons. Timmons donated it to the University of Kansas last spring.
Famous landmarks on the course include two covered bridges, a cemetery and silhouettes of past runners.
Big 12 Championships meet
Colorado has dominated the meet since the Big 12's conception. The men have won all 10 races, and the women have won nine of 10.
Benson Chesang is the two-time defending champion in the 8K.
Both the top men's and women's teams will automatically receive a bid to the NCAA Championship race in Terre Haute, Ind.
The top 15 finishers in each race will be named All-Conference.

Kansas teams aspire to topple Colorado
Colorado
The Buffaloes look to sweep the men's and women's divisions for an eighth-straight year Friday. The men's team could also win a national title this year after taking first in Pre-Nationals earlier this month. Stephen Pifer, Billy Nelson, Brent Vaughn and James Strang are All-Americans on the men's side along with Liza Pascuito on the women's side. Colorado has yet to lose a men's Big 12 title; the women are 9 for 10.

Kansas
The men's team has experience, led by senior Benson Chesang, who is going for his third-consecutive Big 12 championship. The men are also coming off a very impressive performance at the Pre-National race in Terre Haute, Ind. Juniors Colby Wissel and Paul Hefferon are having standout seasons as the men's team is ranked 19th in the nation.The women's team is young but has some experience to bring to the table. Juniors Lisa Morrisey, Alicia McGregor and Melissa O'Rourke are competing well and cutting down their times.
KU KU KU
Texas
Texas will likely have several runners named to the All-Conference team after the race, but the Longhorns will need solid队 production to compete with Colorado and Kansas. During the first three meets of the team's season, the Longhorns had three top-10 finishes. All-American Joe Thorne will lead the charge and look to unseat Benson Chesang of Kansas as the individual champion.
An injured Oklahoma State team will look to its bench to maintain its ranking Friday. The Cowboys are currently ranked No. 22 in the country, and finished eight in Pre-Nationals. The Cowboys will be without senior Ryan Ripley and sophomore Ryan Vail due to injuries, and senior Joe Gray and junior David Jankowski will run despite injuries. After an 18th-place finish in Terre Haute, the 15th-ranked Cowgirls look to challenge the rest of the conference behind senior Mary Davies, who placed 25th at Pre-Nationals.
Oklahoma State
The Cyclones are a long shot to win the Big 12 title, but sophomore Kiel Uhl leads a talented men's team that will battle for second place. The women's team isn't as strong overall but sophomore Lisa Koll could compete for the individual title after running a 20:29 in the 6K at a meet hosted by Arkansas earlier this month.

The Red Raiders will bring the most lopsided team to Lawrence of any of the schools. The women are ranked 21st in the country and are the most credible threat to end the Colorado reign of dominance. The men will likely finish at the bottom of the pack. Their highest-ever Big 12 finish was in 2005, when they finished 10th.

Another middle-tier school in conference competition, the Aggies finished 24th in both the men's and women's divisions at the Pre-Nationals meet. They could be underrated, as Brian McKinstry was the team's top runner, but he fell down early in the race. The women's side is led by Merideth Snow, but drops off in quality from there, with most of the A&M competitors at Pre-Nationals failing to break the top 150.

The Tigers placed 17th in the men's division and 23rd in the women's in the Pre-National race in Terre Haute, Ind. Both squads were led by their seniors: Tim Ross, who placed 50th overall in the 8K for the men and Amanda Bales who placed 25th overall in the 6K for the women.

Earlier this year, the men's team placed sixth in the Penn State Invitational, and junior Jason Coleman received conference runner of the week honors after his 16th place finish. 12th place finish at Pre-Nationals to a 21st place finish at the meet.

Last season the men finished in eighth, while the women finished in tenth. Things aren't looking up this year, as the men's team is comprised solely of sophomores and freshmen.The women Wildcats are young as well with sophomore Liliani Mendez leading the team. The teams are coming off the Chile Pepper Invitational, where the men's team placed 24th and the women's team placed 23rd out of 43 teams.

HEFFERNAN (CONTINUED FROM 5B)
Heffernan and other former runners have helped build Rim Rock into one of the better-known courses in the nation. The NCAA national championships were run on the course in 1998. Rim Rock has also hosted three Big Eight championships.
Rim Rock came to be when Timmons bought land northwest of Lawrence so he could build a getaway cabin for him and his wife. When Kansas was having trouble finding a stable home course for the cross country team in the 1970s, Timmons decided to turn his farm into his team's home course. He purchased 40 more acres than the 40 he already owned and put his runners to work. By 1974, the Jayhawks had a course they could call their own.
"You think it might be a little nicer to be in bed and not have to worry about this stuff," he said. "But then you see some of the sunsets and some of the other things and it's just gorgeous out here. That just kind of reminds you in the end it's all worth it."
Now, other than three years that Heffernan spent working in Wichita, he has dedicated his life to the farm. And despite the long hours, a lot of which he doesn't get paid for, Heffernan wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

"The top guys on our team run at least 70 miles a week, sometimes even 80 and 90," Colby Wissel, junior runner, said.
Runners continue to exceed personal bests
Cross country runners don't look much different from an average size person.
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
Athletes come in different shapes and sizes.
The average height for a cross country runner is about 5'9" as opposed basketball players whose average height is about 6'4".
Basketball player are obvious because they are inches or even feet taller than the average person, and football players are also bigger.
Cross country athletes are different from basketball or football players.
Wissel has had a break-out season so far and credits hard work and training during the offseason for his success.
"We'll also do 2,000-meter repeats, with a few minutes rest in between."
He has shed minutes off his times from last season and was named Big 12 Conference Runner of the Week earlier this season.
Wissel isn't the only one cutting time off his races.
At the Wildcat invitational earlier this season, all six Jayhawk
women who competed in the event cut time off of their performances from last year.
Alicia McGregor finished third at the meet with a time of 18:50.2, cutting 90 seconds from her time.
Lisa Morrisey cut 90 seconds off her time, and Melissa Moody had a finish two minutes better than her performance last year.
"It's a matter of maturity and how they are training," head coach Stanley Redwine said. "We're a year older and a year stronger."
Wissel ran the 8K earlier in the season at the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis, Minn., with a time of 24:54, close to five-minute miles.
The men will run an 8K at the Big 12 Championships this weekend, which is just less than five miles.
The women run the 6K, which is just less than four miles.
Melissa O'Rourke finished with a time of 23:31 at the Roy Griak Invitational, helping the women's squad place 23rd out of 31 teams.
Regardless of height, hopefully the hard work will pay off for the runners on Friday.

'Grey's' Isaiah Washington apologizes for comment
NEW YORK — "Grey's Anatomy" star Isaiah Washington has publicly apologized for his behavior during an on-set scuffle with co-star Patrick Dempsey.
"I sincerely regret my actions and the unfortunate use of words during the recent incident on (the)
set', the 43-year-old actor said in a statement to People magazine.
The magazine, citing a source on the set, reported Wednesday on its Web site that when T.R. Knight was late to film a scene, a debate ensued between Dempsey and Washington, with Dempsey insisting on waiting for Knight. The argument quickly intensified, and an alleged homophobic slur was used, but
Knight wasn't present.
The clash occurred Oct. 9. Knight, 33, revealed Oct. 19 that he is gay.
"I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I'd like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there," Knight said in a statement. "I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me."

HOLLYWOOD Actress Anna Nicole Smith faces residency troubles
NASSAU, Bahamas — An opposition leader called on the government Wednesday to investigate whether Anna Nicole Smith has legal residency status in the Bahamas, where her baby daughter was born and her son died three days later.
Hubert Ingraham, head of the main opposition Free National Movement, said he has learned that another person owns the waterfront mansion that Smith claimed was hers in an application for permanent residency.
minister, "her general character and reputation don't commend her for such status."
"I expect the government of the Bahamas to make a determination in accordance with the law,"he told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
Earlier this month, an attorney for Smith said concerns about her conduct contributed to his withdrawal as her counsel.
"Clearly, Anna Nicole Smith is not a fit and proper person to become a permanent resident of the Bahamas," said Ingraham, a former prime
Michael Scott cited Smith's decision to exchange vows with her boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, and sell photographs of the informal ceremony to People magazine before burying her 20-year-old son. Daniel Smith died on Oct. 19 while visiting Smith in a Nassau hospital after the birth of her daughter.

Game 3 drew a 10.2 fast national rating and 17 share, Fox said Wednesday, down 7 percent from the 11.0 rating last year for the 7-5, 14-inning win by the Chicago White Sox over the Houston Astros. The previous record low for Game 3 was the 10.8 rating for the Anaheim Angels' 10-4 win over the San Francisco Giants in 2002.
The three-game average of 9.9/17 was down 7 percent from the previous low of 10.6/19, set last year.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Rush, Wright selected to preseason watch list
Preseason candidates for the 2006-07 John R. Wooden Award All-American Team were announced Wednesday and sophomores Brandon Rush, guard, and Julian Wright, forward, made the list.
The last time Kansas had two players make the preseason top 50 list was 2004-05. Keith Langford and Wayne Simien were on the list that year and Simien was named a Wooden All-American at the end of the season.
This honor only adds to the preseason accolades Rush and Wright have received. Both were voted preseason Big 12 Co-Players of the Year and were named to the preseason All-Big 12 First Team.
Texas A&M also had two players make the list in guard Acie Law and forward/center Joseph Jones. Oklahoma State guard Jameson Curry, Texas Tech guard Jarrus Jackson and Colorado guard Richard Roby also made the list.

note.
My first trip to a haunted house was one of the bloodiest experiences of my childhood.
I had begged my friend Amy to leave the plastic spiderweb-covered gym where our elementary school carnival was in progress to join my sister and me at Catacombs in Kansas City, Mo. She was reluctant to go, but a few werewolves, some black lights and a couple of high-pitched screams later, Amy was leading the way through the twists and turns of the haunted house.
We entered an octagon-shaped room with a curtain-covered doorway on each wall. Amy proceeded to look behind each curtain, but doors one through seven were sealed off. With only one of the eight portals left, she decided to barrel through the cloth curtain covering the final door. About 10 seconds later, blood streaming down Amy's face, we were led through a back pathway and out of the haunted house. Amy had failed to find the secret passage way out of the room.
I've only braved a haunted house one other time. So, while I appreciate Beth Breitenstein's look at fear (page 8), haunted houses just aren't for me.

GET THE SKINNY
Ladies, if you're bold enough to strut jeans that hug your thighs and tapder down to your calves, then the skinny style is for you. While flare leg jeans can have a leg opening of 26 inches in diameter, skinny leg jeans offer about 10, which make them great for cuffing in the summer and tucking inside boots during the winter.
Don't be afraid if they leave little room to wiggle. Lacey Doherty,
housewares team lead at Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St., says she recommends that customers buy the denim tight because it will stretch out. Pick up a skinny style at Gap, 643 Massachusetts St.; American Eagle, 619 Massachusetts St.; or Urban Outfitters, ranging from $49 to $200 a pair.

health tip
SOAK UP THE SUN FOR A MID-DAY ENERGY BURST.
If you're having trouble staying alert or upbeat during the day and want a substitute for excessive caffeine intake, simple sunlight exposure might help. Exposure to bright light stimulates part of the brain that raises body temperature and inhibits the release of the hormone melatonin, which brings on sleep, according to the National Sleep Foundation. If your sleep and wakefulness cycle is a bit off, get outdoors to balance class time in enclosed settings.

LET'S DO BRUNCH
BITE
by Rikki Kite

Where and when to get your weekend brunch on
Whether you want to gorge yourself at an all-you-can-eat buffet or relax at a local café, downtown Lawrence is home to several locally owned restaurants serving up weekend brunch.
WheatFields Bakery and Café
WheatFields Bakery and Café,
904 Vermont St., specializes in
Artisan breads, which contain
only flour, water, natural
leavening and salt. In addition
to a variety of freshly baked
breads, the WheatFields menu
offers other pastries, including
muffins and ciabattinas (crusty
bread rolls), granola, eggs,
biscuits and gravy (they even
have vegetarian gravy), waffles,
hash browns, french toast,
coffee and juices.
If you are looking for a full-service restaurant with a waitress delivering coffee refills, this isn't the place for you; the cashier provides a picture card to perch on your table so servers can find you when your food is ready. If you just want some hot, delicious breakfast items with a big mug of dark coffee, check this place out. The WheatFields Web site, www.wheatfieldsbakery.com, provides a list of daily breads, bread ingredients and the daily breakfast specials.
New Hampshire Bistro
New Hampshire Bistro (formerly West Side Deli and Bistro) recently relocated to 811 New Hampshire St. Although blintzes were removed from the breakfast menu, you can still get a variety of egg dishes including omelets and egg sandwiches.
oilmeats and eggs are really good," Randy Dixon, executive chef, says. He also recommends the crab cakes, which come with two poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, biscuits and bacon.
My recent brunch experience was disappointing, however, because the service was a little
slow and the food wasn't hot when it arrived at the table. Hopefully this place will get through the growing pains and turn into a downtown gem.
Milton's
Help yourself to a fat mug of freshly brewed coffee while you wait for your table at Milton's, 920 Massachusetts St. The food, cozy atmosphere and friendly service make Milton's worth the usually long wait. It's hard to decide what to order from the menu, which includes huge cinnamon rolls, egg sandwiches, huevos rancheros and omelets.
and on the floor.
Carolyn Benson, Leawood senior, eats brunch at Milton's a couple of times a month and she recommends the french toast. "I love the salmon and eggs," says Nick Ray, Burlington senior and a Milton's employee.
Maceli's
The food is moderately priced with meals in the $5-$7 range, and outside seating is limited but an option when weather permits. Daily breakfast is served until 2 p.m., so feel free to sleep late.
Maceli's, 1031 New Hampshire St. is a relative newcomer in the Lawrence brunch arena. They've been catering for more than 10 years, however, so keep this place in mind if you're planning a big graduation party on your parents' dime. Maceli's is able to serve large parties and private rooms are available.
The brunch is a bit more upscale than café-style dining, but you probably won't feel out of place in jeans. When I recently ate there, they had a small jazz band quietly playing on the wooden dance floor in the large, dimly lit room and even the band was casually dressed.
Macell's offers a wonderful buffet with an omelet station.
french toast and Belgian waffles, scrambled eggs, baked goods, fruit salad and self-serve coffee. "One of the most popular things is old school — it's the bread pudding with vanilla cream sauce," Suzanne Cotrel Doyle, director of marketing and sales, says. She also recommends the hash brown casserole.
The brunch is moderately priced at $11.99 for adults, and mimosas and Bloody Mary's are an additional $1.50. Reservations are accepted but not required.
The Eldridge Hotel
The service was abysmal and we waited what felt like an eternity to get coffee and coffee refills from a waister who arrived late and disheveled. The atmosphere in the recently
The Eldridge Hotel, displays an impressive brunch buffet in addition to a breakfast menu. The Sunday brunch is $14.95, includes a mimosa or coffee and is beautifully spread across several white table cloth-covered tables that lead up to a dessert table. Next to the buffet is an omelet station where you can pick your ingredients and watch your omelet being prepared.
remodeled Eldridge, on the other hand, is impressive and there were lots of options on the buffet including eggs Benedict, biscuits and gravy, bread pudding, fresh fruit, salmon and casseroles. Although reservations aren't required, I recommend them if you want immediate seating.
Tellers
Tellers, 746 Massachusetts St., is located in a beautifully restored former bank building downtown. The brunch buffet is only $11.95 and includes a variety of egg dishes, pastries, and lunch items including salads and pasta. The restaurant doesn't require reservations but I'd recommend them to avoid a lengthy wait for a table. Like the Eldridge, this is a good place to have a fancier brunch and impress the parents, but won't stand out if you'd prefer a more casual meal.
These aren't the only places in town to get your brunch on, but they are some options to try if you want to "do brunch" with your friends, nurse that hangover and perk yourself up for homework you've been putting off all weekend.
Tara Hart, Kansas City, Mo.resident, and Andrea Mowan, Lawrence resident, check out the Milton's menu.

The trail of sweat that crept down your back all summer is finally dry. Now, instead of a sticky and stinky walk up the hill, enjoy the smell of furnaces kicking on and the sound of red and golden leaves crunch and crinkling beneath your feet. Fall is finally here, and the Lawrence area is packed with possibilities to
Apples are a delicious seasonal fruit and orchards near Lawrence grow a variety. Vertacnik's Orchard and Gardens, located east of town at 1403 E. 1850 Road, sells gala, golden delicious, granny smith, Jonagold, Jonathan and red delicious apples. David Vertacnik owner, says he will sell apples until they're gone and hopes to be done by the end of October.The orchard is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday through Sunday. To get to the orchard, take K-10 east and turn left on E. 1750 Road, then turn right on N. 1400 Road. And don't forget about cider. You can make your own by heating up apple juice and adding a little cinnamon and caramel sauce, says Madeline Shike, Fort Wayne, Ind, sophomore, who brews her own at home.Warm it up in the microwave or on the stove for a hot treat.

You can make apple and pumpkin picking more interesting by slurping up local Oktoberfest lagers. Area breweries like Freestate Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., and 75th Street Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway, sell these traditional German festival lagers, which are slightly darker and thicker than regular ales or lagers. Area liquor stores stock these brews and pumpkin-flavored ales during fall. It's a thicker, spicier, richer beer with a full taste, Brendan Dowdle, Tonganoxie sophomore, says.
PICK YOUR PUMPKIN
Fall isn't complete without an old sunken-in pumpkin sitting on your porch rotting through November. Adam Lott, Garden City senior, is looking forward to his B.Y.O.P. pumpkin carving and housewarming party, where there will also be a candy corn-eating contest.
Schaake, owner. The patch also offers hayrides that take guests around the patch and is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day until Halloween. Take 23rd Street east to E.1750 Road and turn right on 1500 Road to pick up a few pumpkins.
Schaake's Pumpkin Patch, 1791 N. 1500 Road, has been supplying Lawrence with pumpkins for 31 years. There is no fee to enter, and you can pick your own pumpkin for 30 cents a pound, says Janet

Do you face your fears or shy away from your phobias?
Freddy Kruger, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Chucky. Do these names give you goose bumps or do they make you want to pull out your huge horror movie collection and have a scare-a-thon? Some people view Halloween as their personal Christmas. Screw presents, they want to scare the neighborhood kids or go to haunted houses. Why do some people jump at the chance to be scared while others just jump away from it?
The emotion of fear comes down to science.
Fear is all about our noggins, says Jonathan Turner, author of Origins of Human Emotions. The emotion is generated in the amygdala, a discrete area of the brain, Turner says. This part of the brain is located below the neocortex which controls functions like sensory perception, motor commands, spatial reasoning conscious thought and language. When you are afraid, neurotransmitters are set into motion, which activate other systems, Turner says.
So why do some people enjoy creepy things when others want to wet their pants? "Some people are able to gain control through the neocortex to fear responses," he says.
Having control eases the goose bumps and profuse sweating. The high that some people experience is a combination of happiness and fear.The addition of fear increases the release of adrenaline.This is the same adrenaline that gives some people a rush when they are on a roller coaster. But for some, the only rush that they feel is the rush of vomit they spew about the park.
People experience fear through various kinds of stimulation. Horror movies, roller coasters and haunted houses are just a few things that keep us up at night. Trey Glapa, Olathe senior, enjoys being scared, especially by horror films. But there are few films that evoke terror in him, Glapa says. "What makes a horror film scary isn't so much what is shown but rather what is not shown," he says. Glapa is a film major, so he pays more attention to the camera angles in a horror film than to the zombies on a murderous rampage.
AndreaLaws,Ottawajunior also enjoys being scared by horror flicks."It's an emotion that a lot of us don't get to experience very much,"Laws says. Her favorite horror film is *Halloween.* "The fact that
the movie takes place in a small town really reminds me of Ottawa, where I'm
from, and that makes it even creepier," she says.
It's the time ofyearforcandy pumpkin carving and bobbing for apples. Those are all of the non-scary parts of Halloween. However, Halloween also means ghouls, witches and haunted houses. This serves as a paradise for that person who is starving for fear. In Kansas City, Mo., there are
plenty of opportunities for free, including the rush of a man is chasing you with a chain saw. Take a fun little journey to The Edge of Hell or The Beast haunted houses and you might experience some hair standing up on the back of your neck.

Patrick Neese and David Neff, local film makers, explore the inside world of haunted houses in their documentary, Generation Fear. This film follows three people: one veteran haunter
opening a new haunted house in small town, a 19-year-old who has moved up from acting to opening the doors to his very first haunt and a haunter searching for funding for a haunted house in his own home.
Neese, co-director of Generation Fear, loves to
scare and be scared. "I think we search for
things that get the fight and flight chemicals pumping in our veins," he says. Neese has run several haunted houses in the past. "I get a high from scaring people." he says. However, Neese was not always so obsessed with haunted houses. "As a child I hated them. I refused to go near them. Then I saw my dad jump out of a tree with a mask at some teenagers and I felt instant joy," he says. Neese also loves to see people jump out of their seats at horror films. "As the music swells and the strings hold a minor chord, people stop breathing and their heart races, it doesn't get any better than that," he says.
Neese and Neff decided to make their film because of today's obsession with fear. Haunted houses open earlier in the season than in the past
about mid-September and horror movies are being released throughout the year, Neese says. Also, he notices that retailers are cashing in on the obsession with all things scary. "Halloween has grown into a two-to three-month seasonal period for retailers,
which is the same reason why people hate
Christmas now," Neese says.
For those who can't afford to a horror flick or a trip through a haunted house, a local urban legend can satisfy the hunger for fear. The Stull Cemetery, in the town of Stull, Just northwest of Clinton Lake, is considered one of the Seven Gateways to Hell. Legend has it that the devil returns to Stull only on the Spring Equinox and on Halloween because one of his wives is buried there. "I hear that the pope will not even fly over the site, fearing that his plane will crash," James Pinick, Bonner Springs senior, says. Pinick journeyed to the site with his friends when he was in high school, and the locals literally chased him out of town. "They came at us in cars and followed us until we were out of the town," he says. Although the church at the cemetery has been torn down, the site still offers a good fright for local fear seekers.
Whether you're making fake blood by dying corn syrup red or hiding under the covers waiting for the holiday to pass, have a happy Halloween.

GRAD CHECK
Max Minor Year: 2003 Hometown: Medina, Minn. Degree: Communication Studies
Back in the day: While at KU, Minor worked at Joe's Bakery, 619 W. Ninth St., served as a lifeguard, wrote for the The University Daily Kansan's "Tongue in Beak" and did stand-up comedy at the Jazzhaus, 926 Massachusetts St. After graduation, Minor sold advertisements for The Onion, a satirical newspaper.
Why he's a big deal: Minor recently wrote, edited, marketed and independently published iSIDE LAWRENCE: A Guide To
The Places That Matter. The book provides humorous critiques
— both positive and negative
— on places Minor finds valuable to Lawrence, Places such as The Hawk Mrs E's Liberty Hall and Yello Sub are organized alphabetically and by the categories of food, booze, shops and miscellaneous.
Minor lives in and loves Chicago, but some places in Lawrence are the best he's ever encountered,
he says. "All these places in here demonstrate merit. These places, regardless of what I think of them, matter to this town."
Today: Minor hopes the glorified phone book will encourage exploration in Lawrence because it's not only entertaining, it's informational — watch out for the iron-clad I.D. check at Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St. He also included The Pink Flamingo nudey club, or The Dirty Bird, because of its fabulous Friday lunch buffet." There is something oddly likeable about gorging oneself on all-you-can-eat fried chicken breasts whilst surrounded by actual female breasts. Plus, there's nothing classier than going to a strip joint at 1:30 p.m.
on a weekday. If you like food and booos, you'll love The Bird," Minor writes in INSIDE LAWRENCE. He goes to school for comedy but says that his friends from KU are still some of the funniest people he's ever met. He loves Lawrence because everyone is having the best time of their lives together, and that's unprecedented outside of this community, he says.
Words of advice: Even if you love your job, it's still a job, he says, "Being creative, expressing yourself and enjoying who you are and the environment you're in is the most important thing."
Pick up INSIDE LAWRENCE for $10 at Kiefs Downtown Music, 823 Massachusetts St., or Love Garden, 926 Massachusetts St., in November. "It's not for everyone, and that's sort of the charm of it," Minor says. Or, visit www.insidelawrence.com to buy the book online and access links to the places included.

LARGER THAN LIFE
PEOPLE
by Frank Tankard
Tyler Cook, Oberlin senior, follows his boyhood dream of becoming a pro wrestler.
When Tyler Cook was in the third grade, he was asked to write an essay answering the question "what do you want to be when you grow up?" The answer was easy: a professional wrestler.
PHOTO/RYAN MCGEENEY
TodaytheOberlinseniorspends his weekdays taking classes in strategic communications from
the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications. During the week, he's just another student in a classroom, but on weekends, to small groups of dedicated professional
wrestling fans, he is larger than life.
"I HAD LIKE SIX OR SEVEN HANDPRINTS ON MY CHEST, BIG OLD RED WELTS AND BRUISES. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO
mother Kendra says. When he got to pick a movie to watch, he'd pick a wrestling video.
CAME BACK."
— TYLER COOK,
OBERLIN SENIOR
Buff, blond, curly-haired and wearing tiny, butt-tight shorts, Cook transforms into the characters he used to watch on TV in his family's living room in Oberlin, a shrinking town of fewer than 2,000 people in northwest Kansas.
Through junior high and high school, his class projects were always on wrestling — essays about his favorite wrestlers, an artistic calendar displaying wrestlers' birthdays, a music
Cook doesn't know where his obsession with professional wrestling came from; his older sister had no interest and his parents — who call his complex aerial moves "the flips" — didn't quite get it.
"I don't know why it hooked me right away," he says. "But I know my parents never liked that I watched it."
Inspired by the flashiness and flamboyance of Mr. Perfect, "Ravishing" Rick Rude and his all-time favorite, Shawn Michaels, Cook would strike poses standing on the arm of the couch, roll around on the floor and test moves on his parents.
When his friends came over, they'd have to fight him in at least one match using his collection of wrestling action figures, his
video set to the wrestlers' moves. When his parents bought him a car before college, he had HBK put on the license plate, after Michael's nickname: "The Heartbreak Kid."
Cook was fascinated by the wrestlers'
personalities and their power over fans — he admired how Michaels could easily get people to love or hate him.
In junior high and high school, Cook was on the wrestling team — but you can't smack a dude with a chair in that type of wrestling, and you don't have the power, or the magic.
After graduating high school, Cook wanted to go to the University of Kansas, but his father told him a school that big would eat him alive. So Cook did some research, and surprised his parents by saying he wanted to go across the state to Johnson County Community College.
"What the little stinker done, he got on the internet and found out there was this wrestling program in Kansas City," Gale, Cook's father, says.
By the end of his freshman year, Cook had contacted Midwest Renegade Wrestling, a small, independent outfit from Lenexa. One day, they told him he could work security during a show. He and two other wannabe wrestlers showed up. That night,
all three were asked to try out. This included an initiation, with all of the wrestlers taking turns chopping him, smack across his bare chest.
"I had like six or seven handprints on my chest, big old red welts and bruises," he says. "I was the only one who came back. I never saw the two other guys again."
He was reffing matches by the end of the summer. Then he served as a a "youngboy" for the Kansas state title holder, Mark Sterling, accompanying him at the ring and learning from him.
A year ago, after transferring to KU, he got his first match: a 5-foot-10, 350-pound monster named Abyss swiftly kicked his ass.
He has since fought in a main event and gets a title shot
with Mark Sterling next month. He travels a small circuit on weekends, wrestling in Lawrence at the National Guard Armory, 200 Iowa St., with NWA Central States Wrestling (formerly Midwest Renegade Wrestling) and in Iowa and Missouri. He often doesn't earn enough money to even make up for gas. The most he has ever been paid for a show is 550.
In wrestling there are good guys, called babyfaces, and bad guys, called heels. With Cook's handsome face and blond curls, he's what his trainer, Michael Strider, calls a "natural babyface."
"He's apple pie. He's Americana," says Strider, a wrestler with thick arms and bleached hair. "Most of the young ladies who come to the
show come to see Tyler in his speedo.
His parents have made the trip to Lawrence to see him several times, and though they've never quite understood wrestling, they're proud. Still, his father wonders whether the wrestling will last.
"I mean, it's all right that he does it, but at the same time, I stress school," he says. "I keep telling him he's not 6-foot-8, 280 pounds like some of those boys."
Tyler knows that if he wants to make it to the top — World Wrestling Entertainment — he has years of work ahead of him.
He needs to look no further than a man he practices with named Derek Stone. Stone started when he was 19 years old and made his living on the

wrestling circuit for seven or eight years, wrestling for the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) and smaller leagues in 200 to 250 matches a year. Stone, now 34, has two ruptured discs in his back and has worked overnight at Target for three years. He describes wrestling as an addiction.
"It's something that if it's good for you, you will get hooked on it," he says. "It's sort of like any adrenaline rush."
Cook says he figures he'll balance a day job with wrestling after he graduates next December. But if he gets the chance to make wrestling his career ...
"That'll be a little way down the road."
TYLER COOK'S TOP FIVE WRESTLING MOVES
Superkick - The superkick is a side crescent kick right to the jaw of my opponent. It's the finishing move of my favorite wrestler, Shawn Michaels. He refers to it as "sweet chin music."
I dive head first off the top rope with my arms and legs spread wide, almost like I'm flying. I get straight upside down and then back-splash
Swanton Bomb - This is a top rope move made popular by Jeff Hardy.
on top of my opponent.
T-bone Suplex - My friends and fans all call me T-bone, so it's only likely that I'd use this as one of my moves. I grab my opponent behind the neck with my right hand and put his right arm behind my neck. I then grab his right leg with my left arm right under the knee. I then suplex him straight over my head, dnumbing him on his head.
Double Axe-Handle Smash
- This move is a top rope move where I jump off and hit my opponent on top of the head with both of my hands clasped together. I grew up watching Shawn Michaels, Rick Rude and Randy Savage use this move.
Fisherman's Suplex — This is a move I grew up watching "Mr
Perfect" Curt Hennig use as his finisher. He called it the Perfect-Plex. I put a standing front facelock on my opponent and throw his right arm over my head. I grab his right leg with my left arm and lock my hands. I then take my opponent straight over my head, keeping my hands locked and bridging for the pln.

I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BOYFRIEND OF ONE YEAR, BUT I’M WORRIED BECAUSE HE HAS A FEMALE FRIEND WHO HE’S KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME (SINCE BEFORE HE MET ME), AND THEY ARE ALWAYS SENDING RANDOM TEXT MESSAGES AND E-MAILING EACH OTHER. HE SAYS THEY’RE JUST FRIENDS AND SENDING EACH OTHER GOOFY, SOMETIMES EVEN FLIRTATIOUS, MESSAGES IS JUST “WHAT THEY DO” AND IT’S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. SHE DOESN’T LIVE IN KANSAS, BUT IS THIS SOMETHING I SHOULD WORRY ABOUT? DOES HE HAVE FEELINGS FOR THIS GIRL?
— KELSEY, JUNIOR
Chris: I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Worst case scenario, your boyfriend is in love with this other woman because she fulfills his needs in ways you never can. She’s funnier, smarter and much prettier. And more interesting than you, which is why he’d rather communicate with her via text message than listen to your stories about this week’s episode of Grey's Anatomy and how you just can't believe what a jerk McDreamy is, but you'd like, totally still sleep with him because, come on, he's hot! Your boyfriend thinks about this woman when he's with you. He imagines he's with her when he's sleeping with you, and every morning he wakes up with you is another disappointment. He's counting down the days until he graduates and can move away from Lawrence to be with his true love, leaving you here to pick up the pieces of your shattered heart. But relax, that's just the worst case scenario. I'm sure it’s just harmless flirting.
Niloofar: Unless you want your boyfriend to end up dumping you, then don't worry about it. Look at the facts: he’s been your boyfriend for a year, she doesn’t live in Kansas, and he knew her before he knew you, which means he picked you over her. There’s probably some sort of underlying attraction there, but it clearly hasn’t been strong enough for either of them to act on it. You won. You have him. If you start worrying, getting jealous and turning into a psycho bitch, you won't have him much longer. Accept that he has other people he likes to joke with and that it probably doesn't mean much of anything. Now, if she moves here and the texts turn into hanging out without telling you or you catch them in bed together, that's when you leave the bastard and register him on Dontdatehimgirl.com. Until then, though, don't worry. And maybe you could send him a flirtatious text message or two yourself.
MY GIRLFRIEND KEEPS SAYING THAT I'M NOT AS FUN AS I USED TO BE AND THAT SHE FEELS LIKE I DON'T CARE ABOUT HER. SHE EVEN ASKED ME IF I WAS THINKING ABOUT BREAKING UP WITH HER. THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF BECAUSE IWOULDN’T BE WITH HER IF I DIDN'T WANT TO BE. I’M STARTING TO THINK MAYBE SHE HAS SOME INSECURITY ISSUES AND HER COMPLAINING IS REALLY STARTING TO GET OLD. HOW CAN I GET HER TO SEE THAT THINGS ARE FINE BETWEEN US AND I DON'T (DIDN'T!) HAVE ANY PLANS OF GETTING OF RID OF HER?
— MARK, SENIOR
Chris: Try to see the big picture. This girl wants to break up with you, but she doesn't want to be the bad guy, so she’s trying to nag you into doing it. Chances are she met a real dreamboat at the bar this weekend and realized how much she’s missing out by being tied down to you, hence the "you're no fun anymore" crap. If she just dumps you to be with this guy, she’ll get the "bitch" label. But if she can annoy the hell out of you until you can't take it anymore, she becomes the pitiful victim, and you become the dickhead who didn't know how good he had it. At this point you have two choices: start looking for a new girlfriend yourself, because she's not staying with you much longer, or find a good hiding place for a video camera, have one more night of "fun" and blackmail her conniving ass. I know what I'd do, but that's only because I can't afford a video camera.
Niloofar: Your girlfriend may have insecurity issues. Ask yourself what you've done to contribute to the problem. If you're annoyed with her and disappointed in the state of the relationship, then you need to take responsibility for the way you're feeling and figure out what you can do to fix it. Here's a little tip: girls like surprises. It sounds like you've been together a long time, and in your mind, now that you've trapped her in your cage, so to speak, you don't need to hunt her anymore. But women love to be pursued. Every woman wants to be adored, and I think deep down every guy wants to make his girl feel good. So basically, I'm telling you to get off your ass, stop playing video games and buy her some flowers. Start actually dating her again. Call her randomly between classes and leave her a voice mail just to let her know you were thinking about her. I guarantee your girlfriend will be pleased and that means she'll stop nagging, which means you both end up winning. If this sounds like too much effort on your part, then you need to seriously consider whether you really do care about her, and if not, free her to find another man who'll treat her how she deserves to be treated and go back to a lonely love affair with your X-box.

The Prestige
---
MOVIE
You're driving on the highway and all of a sudden you realize: you have to go. It's not an emergency, but it definitely makes the ride interesting for you until the inevitable conclusion, when everything is mercifully expelled. This is what Christopher Nolan's film The Prestige is like. It's a movie that succeeds in building the pressure and detail until you'd punch your mother just to get rid of it all.
Two rival magicians (Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman) play a manly game of one-upsmanship until the battle for tricks becomes so awesome and terrible that in the end they both just want to die. Bale is brilliant, and Jackman is Jackman. Scarlett Johansson appears as an assistant, proving once again that she is just Paris Hilton with better material to read.
But whatever harm she does to the movie is mended by David Bowie's performance as Nikolai Tesla, the mad Russian genius.
The movie hinges completely on revealing the manner behind the "illusions," which it did.By the finale, we learn everything we need to know, which is as much of a relief as finally reaching that toilet and dropping trou. In a way, it actually told too
many secrets. But while I could complain about *The Prestige*, over-explaining its climax, I just want to sit back and feel the contentment of a satisfying pee.

The '80s are back. While most bands that take sounds from the decade sound like cruel and unusual punishment, Sound Team's sound is refreshing.
Movie Monster dabbles in a little bit of everything from dance beats to hipster pop to powerful vocals backed by a talented six-piece band.
The album is consistently good with only a few minor blips in between like the repetitive and boring "TVTorso."
Some highlights include the rock'n roll of "Born To Please," the catchy "Your Eyes Are Liar" and the brilliant closer, "Handful of Billions," filled with memorable lines and a powerful ending.
Justin Timberlake might have brought sexy back, but Sound Team brought the '80s back, and, for once, the '80s sound really good.

Tap... clunk. I can still remember the sound of my mother's feet as she walked in front of me at Wal-Mart. The tapping sound of the foot of her good leg clashed with the clunk of the foot of her bad leg. It was just months after she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Even then, as an 8-year-old, I was trying to lighten the mood; I walked behind her and mimicked the sound with my own feet. Tap... clunk. Tap... clunk. Tap... clunk.
When she turned around, I half-expected her to yell at me for making fun of her. Instead she just smiled and said,"Oh, shut up!"
The day my mom was diagnosed, she and dad picked me up from school. I sat in the back of my dad's beat-up mini van as tears stung my eyes, and my throat felt as if it might close. I stared at the bubble gum stuck on the back of my mom's seat and didn't make a sound. My mom was quiet and let my dad do all the talking. I waited for her to break down and cry, but tears never even glazed her eyes. That was when I made a promise to myself. I would never cry about the M.S. — not until she did.
My mom is one of 400,000 Americans who are currently living with Multiple Sclerosis. It is a disease that attacks the myelin sheath that protects the nerve fibers of the central nervous system, preventing nerve impulses from successfully transmitting. About two to three times more women are diagnosed with M.S. than men, and it is more common among people with northern European ancestry. My mom falls into this category. Most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50. My mom was 38.
My mother's first symptom was a tingling numbness in her left hand and foot. This numbness made her walk with a noticeable limp that could throw her off balance at any moment. The first time she fell was 13 years ago in the parking lot at Olive Garden. Our family had just had our Sunday dinner, and we were walking to the car when my mom lost her balance and hit the black pavement. We knew something was wrong.
My mother's symptoms have slowly worsened over time, which is the nature of the disease. She now walks with a cane, if she doesn't want to
I ONCE HEARD MY MOTHER SAY, "I HAVE M.S., BUT M.S. DOESN'T HAVE ME."
use her wheelchair. Our family avoids big places like malls and amusement parks. A trip to the grocery store to pick up milk will take all of the energy she has for the day. She needs me to help her put on earrings, put up her hair and, on really bad days, button her pants. It often feels like we're little girls playing dress-up.
I once heard my mother say, "I have M.S., but M.S. doesn't have me." My family has always kept its focus on what my mom is able to do rather than what she cannot do. It's almost as if we look at the disease like a constant cold. It keeps her from doing some things, but she's still a major part of keeping our family on our toes.
We often use sarcasm and humor to deal with the disease. I even once told a friend who had just met my mother that she swayed when she walked because she had a lot to drink that day.Mom just laughed at
me and said,"Oh, shut up!"
New "toys," as she calls them, have replaced my mom's ceramic painting and sewing because her hands cannot grasp small objects well enough. Her first toy was a cane.She wrapped its entire length in bright purple, blue and yellow pansy ribbon. It looked like she was balancing herself on a roll of wrapping paper.I cringed in agony when she proudly showed it to all of my friends.
Then, she got the Rascal. The Rascal was a motorized wheelchair, and my mom thought was fun to give children rides at high school football games. She called it her "scooter." I thought this was funny until the day she attached a large yellow flag to the back of the chair. The flag extended to the height of the top of our mini van and was about the size of a basketball. Emblazoned on the flag was a cartoon dog. It wasn't even a recognizable dog, and no, it didn't look like our dog at home. She just liked it. I tried to hide it in our garage.
The toys are still arriving. The other day, she called me to tell me about a new bathtub she
bought from a catalog. "You'll have to come see my new toy," Mom said when it first arrived. You'd think it was diamond-encrusted by the way she bragged about how she could just walk into it and sit down. She went into great detail about how the door to the tub has this seal that is so state-of-the-art that it will never leak. To her, a bath that she can get in and out of is better than any tub you'd see on MTV's Cribs.
If you tell her that she can't do something, she'll prove you wrong. That's how my mom is; she'll make a lemon merengue pie out of the lemons life hands her.
The M.S. is harder on the rest of us than it is on her. Nothing seems to get her down. She accepts what she cannot do and fills her time with the things that she can. She'll be the first to make fun of the bruise on her arm from where she lost her balance while doing absolutely nothing. It's as if she's had M.S. her whole life, and it is as much a part of her personality as her bullheadedness. She has M.S., but M.S. will never have her.
My mom still hasn't cried. Neither have I.

ELECTION 2006 Decide for yourself
Congressional candidates discuss Iraq,nation
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Voters will determine Nov. 7 the next U.S. House representative for the 2nd Congressional District, which covers much of eastern Kansas, including part of western Lawrence. Running against Republican incumbent Jim Ryun are Democrat Nancy Boyda and Roger Tucker for the Reform party.
Rep. Ryun has been in office since 1997. He and his wife, Anne, live in Lawrence.
Boyda, a Topea resident, has worked for numerous pharmaceutical companies, recently as a manager for Marion Laboratories in Kansas City, Mo. She and her husband,
Steve, have two children and five stepchildren.
Tucker lives in Ottawa with his wife, Judy. He has six children and worked as an electrician for CertainTeed Corp. from 1979 until 2002.
National security and defense abroad are a high priority for all three candidates.
Ryun said America needed to keep the main front of the war on terror outside its borders. He visited Yuma, Ariz., Oct. 19 to meet with guardsmens and border patrol agents. There, he learned that 644 illegal immigrants from "countries of interest," such as North Korea and Iraq, were arrested last year as they
crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.
"These people are potential terrorists from countries that harbor terrorists, and we need to prevent them from crossing our borders," he said.
As for U.S. troops in Iraq, Ryun said they should be concentrated in certain areas. He said they could only come home as soon as military commanders could hand over control to the Iraqi Security Forces.
Boyda said she was concerned the Iraq war contributed to growing debt and a possible draft. She agreed with invading Afghanistan but said invading Iraq was a dangerous decision that increased terrorism worldwide.
She said young people needed to

Candidate Roger Tucker did not respond to the request for a photo.
understand that every politician was going to do everything they could to avoid using the word "draft."
"Politicians need to be straight with young people," she said. "But nobody wants to talk about a draft."
The cost of the war is a concern
for Boyda because it is not being paid for as part of the national budget, she said. Instead, American citizens are paying off the national debt interest.
Tucker said because of the growing intensity of the apparent civil war in Iraq, any supporters of the U.S. would never have enough popular support from their people to endure.
"We should only continue to support them with arms, not with our blood," he said.
Boyda and Ryun report contradictory views over the NAFTA Super Corridor Highway, a proposed 10-lane highway that would run from Texas to Canada.
Boyda said the corridor would threaten national security and the economy because it would drive down transportation costs to send profitable industries overseas.
The Texas Department of Transportation in a press release this September announced a plan proposing the first phase of Trans-Texas Corridor 35, which Boyda said was the first step to building the super corridor highway. Boyda said Ryun had denied the initial construction of the corridor.
In response, Ryun said there were no plans to construct the highway and he would not support the proj-
Study links lack of sleep to obesity
SEE ELECTION ON PAGE 4A
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Not getting enough sleep could be making you fat.
According to a review of recent research published in the November issue of the journal "Archives of Disease in Childhood," a link has been found between a lack of sleep with obesity.
A 2004 study, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I, found that people who reported getting less than seven hours of sleep a night were more likely to be obese. These same people were also more likely to develop obesity in the future.
The same study found that people who got six hours of sleep each night were 27 percent more likely to become obese than those getting seven to nine hours of sleep.
In the study that recently appeared in "Archives of Disease in Childhood," researcher Shahad Taheri said childhood obesity often followed people into adulthood.
Carol Guillaume, Watkins Memorial Health Center physician specializing in sleep disorders, said this link between obesity and sleep deprivation was partially caused by a chemical imbalance in the body.

Letter campaign benefits cancer research
BY BEN SMITH
Close to 400 students have volunteered to write letters requesting donations for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Up 'til Dawn, the largest charity fundraiser conducted on campus, will hold "Round Up," a western-themed letter-writing party, at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the fifth-floor ballroom of the Kansas Union. The KU group joins more than 150 college campuses nationwide in the student-led program that fights to end childhood cancer.
Up 'til Dawn, which raised more than $69,000 in 2005 and 2006 for the children of St. Jude, will put on the event at which student volum-
teers will write letters requesting donations to friends, family and acquaintances, and will listen to a father who lost his child to cancer.
Doctors from around the world send some of their toughest cancer cases and most vulnerable patients to the St. Jude facilities in Memphis, Tenn., for free treatment. The hospital's Web site said "all patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family's ability to pay."
St. Jude is the third-largest health care charity in America and it is in the business of making miracles.
Melissa Schmidt, director of Up 'til Dawn's officer's board, and several other officers have been promoting the event on campus this
semester asking students to join the initiative.
Brennan Metzler, the group's co-entertainment chair, said that it had been a wonderful experience working for the charity.
"It's a pretty remarkable cause," Metzler said. "It benefits a place that works miracles."
St. Jude's mission is to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.
Research efforts are directed at understanding the molecular, genetic and chemical bases of catastrophic diseases in children, identifying cures and promoting the prevention of cancers, acquired and inherited immunodeficiencies, infectious dis

MAHOPAC, N.Y. - A man got so angry about the way a motorist had parked his car that he climbed into a forklift, placed the fork under the car and lifted it off the ground police said.
Wasek Safrah, 51, of Ossining, was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and assault. Police said that in addition to lifting the car, Safrah punched both the offending vehicle and the man who parked it.

Peter Smith, a cast member with L.A. Theatre Works, responds to interview questions from Mechele Leon, assistant professor of theater and film, in Murphy Hall's Inge Theatre on Thursday afternoon. Smith will be appearing in the radio theater performance of "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial" at 7:30 p.m. in the Lied Center tonight.
Versatility boosts career
Actor will perform tonight with radio theater company
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Actor Peter Smith encouraged theater students to be flexible in finding work after graduation Wednesday at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall.
Smith said he had excelled in the business by being versatile as a performer and a writer.
"You always need to create your own work and you should do other things," he said. "If you're just an actor, you're going to be twiddling your thumbs a lot — even if you're successful."
Smith is part of L.A. Theatre Works, a radio theater company performing "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial," a courtroom drama, at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Lied Center.
Smith said he struggled to pay his bills, despite starring in critically acclaimed shows in New York City, including "The Invention of Love" on Broadway. His acting credits include roles in both Broadway and off-Broadway performances, as
Leon said having professional actors speak to students built bridges between the Lied Center and the theater program.
"The Caine Mutiny" is a fictitious play about mutinous acts aboard a ship during World War II. It will be staged as a radio play, with the actors using scripts and standing behind microphones. Smith said it could be frustrating and challenging to use the microphones, but that the staging also has its benefits.

It's a challenge to do that without looking like an idiot, he said.
Smith said holding the script forced him to put more emotion and
Smith said this style was appropriate for the courtroom drama, which centered around presenting arguments and twisting people's words.
Karen Christillets, Lied Center associate director, said the company was "legendary". She said audience members felt like the radio-play actors were talking to them, and personal exchange between the actors was enhanced without props to distract from their interactions.
Another benefit of the radio-play style is the Foley artist on stage who makes sound effects during the show. The audience can see how the sound effects are generated, and what props are used to create them.

Universities vie for Cerner prize
》 SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
BY DANNY LUPPINO
The University of Kansas is used to going toe-to-toe with Kansas State in athletics, but KU engineering students are preparing to take the rivalry into the boardroom.
A group of 14 seniors and first-year graduate students in computer science and computer engineering will compete with students from Kansas State, Purdue and Iowa to see who can present the best software design to executives at Kansas City's Cerner Corporation.
"This is the first time we're trying this," said Arvin Agah, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science. "We've competed with these schools on the football field, but now we're going to be competing with them academically."
Agah has been preparing the students in his "Special Topics: Software Development" class for the
competition. He said he had taught the class before, with Cerner executives coming to Lawrence to judge the University teams.
Agah said students would be designing software for a doctor's hand-held computer device. Cerner, a medical technology company, gave the teams the assignment but won't necessarily be producing and marketing the winning team's software.
"The software will still be the property of the School of Engineering." Aah said.
Agah said students had traditionally enjoyed the class for the opportunity to work with realworld projects and acquire professional development experience. He said the competition had pushed the students to another level.
Benjamin Ku, Overland Park senior, agreed.
"the other teams are trying to be really secretive about what they're
doing, so we want to beat them because of that," Ku said. "We're taking the class for education purposes, but the winner does get a license for the software, so it encourages us to put out a better product."
Ku said hed continue working with Cerner after graduation.
Nine teams are competing, with four from the University. The teams will travel to Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 6 to make their presentations.
The winning team will receive prizes including its own handheld computer devices, but Agah said a winning team from the University would also help to further the reputation of the School of Engineering.

"All this corporate profiteering in areas of agriculture, the environment and labor, results in worsening poverty in Mexico," he said. "The people become as refugees from oppression who then choose to become illegal immigrants for survival."
He said America's trade police needed to change to fix the problem of worker exploitation in Mexico.
"Our present profiteering on the back of oppression is not the America that I believe in," he said.
"Through a better trade policy and a loan for infrastructure and economic development, Mexico can encourage its people, our illegal immigrants, to come home to jobs, family and the protection of their rights."

SLEEP (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
She said the imbalance dealt primarily with two hormones, leptin and ghrelin. Leptin, known as the "fullness hormone", went down with sleep deprivation. Ghrelin, known as the "hunger hormone" tended to be higher with sleep deprivation.
Thus, a person who's sleep deprived will be more likely to feel hungry and less likely to feel full
She said college students were especially affected by lack of sleep and erratic sleep patterns. "Whether they're up studying for tests, and losing sleep because of that, or up with their friends socializing"
Guillaume said college students should get eight to nine hours of sleep each night. She recommended going to sleep and waking up at the same time each day because it helps the body know when to be sleepy and when to be alert.
"The body likes consistency." she said.
Guillaume also recommended skipping naps during the day
because they promoted sleepiness.
"A lot of times students will take naps to make up for sleep they've missed at night," she said. "It's good sleep hygiene to avoid naps and get the majority of your sleep at night."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity increases the risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and respiratory problems, and some cancers, including breast, colon and endometrial cancers.
Several factors besides sleep contribute to obesity. The CDC lists genes, metabolism, behavior, environment, culture and socioeconomic status all as affecting a person's body weight.

M. BOLYGONOVA AND A. V. MELNICKOVA IN "THE PALACE" (1920).
Brian Ervin, the telegraph boy, and Lavinia Roberts, as Mrs. Antobus, rehearse the play "The Skin of Our Teeth" at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. The show has its first performance at 7:30 p.m., today in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre.
Drama that won Pulitzer considers human history
Theater students will perform "The Skin of Our Teeth," a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Thornton Wilder, this weekend and next weekend at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.
The presentation of the drama, which presents human experience throughout history, proceeds in a nonlinear fashion.
The story line ends exactly as
it began, representing the recurring pattern and cyclical nature of human existence.
It recounts events like the ice Age and a great flood, but it is set in New Jersey during the 1930s.
The play recounts these historic events through the experience of an American family, which struggles to survive during difficult times.
Matthew Crooks, Stillwell sophomore, said the third act, which centered on wartime.
was particularly relevant to the situation of America today. The characters question why people fight and why wars last so long.
"It rounds out the discussion on wartime, instead of launching it into partisan boxes," Crooks said. "I find that particularly refreshing."
Performances of the play are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and Nov. 2 through 4, and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $10 for students.

WRITER (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The program is dedicated to making education available for those who traditionally did not have the means to attend universities.
Thomas worked closely with Tom Lorenz, associate chair of the English department, while attending the University.
Lorenz said Thomas' student work tended to paint humane portraits of class and race relations in the modern setting.
Lorenz said he worked with Thomas on screenplay projects, including several scripts produced and performed by the University's theater department.
"He always had interesting characters and interesting conversations," he said.
This focus on class distinctions
has carried into his modern work.
As a staff writer, Thomas collaborates with a small group of other writers who pitch story lines and scenes. One writer is then put in charge of writing an entire episode with the help of the others.
Themes of separation and the effects of reconnecting with people you have left behind will be prevalent throughout, he said.
His first episode will air Dec. 5, barring a changing of schedule. The episode will focus on one student's return to the home he left several years before, Thomas said.
Thomas said everyone in his profession had the dream of conceiving one idea so great it evolved into a movie. His passion, however, lies in

the communal effort of television writing.
"When writing for television, you feed off the energy of the others in the room." Thomas said. "It's a team effort in every sense."

OPINION
PAGE 5A
》 OUR VIEW
Guaranteed tuition plan unrealistic, needs revision
The proposed guaranteed tuition plan sounds like a good idea at first glance. But so far, KU officials have failed to address the importance of the relationship between the proposal and advising and course availability.
Todd Cohen, associate director of University Relations, said if students want a rough estimate of the cost of additional years, they should estimate a 5 percent increase per credit hour per year.
Guaranteed tuition might better prepare students and their families by setting a predictable tuition rate before enrollment. It would certainly encourage students to get out in four years: For those contemplating a longer stay, tuition would rise sharply.
For instance, if the University sets the four-year rate at $208 per credit hour in 2008, the rate
A small fraction — 29 percent of KU students graduate in four years, a problem many universities share. The University of Kansas ranks fifth out of the 11 public Big 12 universities in four-year graduation rates; the University of Missouri ranks first at 37 percent.
would jump to about $265 per credit hour in students' fifth year at the University, assuming no exceptional inflation occurs.
Specific details of the plan, along with tuition rates, will be presented to the Board of Regents in May 2007.
With such a substantial increase in tuition possible for a large percentage of KU students, the University must make sure that students get better advising and increased course availability.
KU undergraduates said they "occasionally" had trouble developing a course schedule, according to a 2006 survey commissioned by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. Students mostly rated their advising as "helpful" the survey says. These perceptions could change for the worse if students find they must graduate in four years to avoid a tuition hike.
Let's hope the University starts thinking more broadly in terms of how it will execute its plan.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Response to bible thumper a disgrace to the University
To the mob surrounding the bible thumper:
What the hell were you thinking? Your actions were disgusting and only lowered to you the same pathetic level as him. You have disgraced the University with your thoughtless, low-class response and should be ashamed.
As you stood around watching the fool spew his messages of homophobia and anti-Semitism, I saw people act like savages. I heard physical threats, I heard personal attacks and at some point eggs were thrown at him.
What did you accomplish? Did it make you feel better? Did it change his bigoted attitude? Because all I saw were people making asses of themselves. I didn't feel bad for any of the gay men or Jews who mocked and attacked the preacher. None of them had any grasp of decency or effectiveness. Instead, they lowered themselves to his level, spitting out their own messages of hatred.
Can you honestly tell me that this was the correct response? I'm an out and proud gay man and I have Jewish family members. I empathize completely. But under no circumstance would I ever react in that manner.
You wonder why some people hate queers? Why they don't associate with Jews? Because of idiots like you who act like vicious children. It's bad enough that you're willing to make yourself look terrible, and it's worse that you're thoughtless enough to drag the rest of us down with you.
Surely you could have been more respectful and grown-up about it. You could have left, or even stayed and listened to his point. But you turned it into a carnival, something to watch for entertainment. And
that was the saddest thing of all.
As you fools make a victim out of that bible thumper, a group of us saw another man, a student, speak back. He talked about ways to make the world a better place, about practical ways to fix so many of the world's problems. There were no more than 10 of us listening.
The rest of you, the other hundred people, got your fix of mindless entertainment for the day. There was no intelligent thought being articulated by anyone in that group. It was merely the sophomoric and unrefined insults of some college students who were impressed with themselves. Every single one of you was there solely to watch that man get humiliated and attacked. The only message you made clear today was that most people are too busy being entertained to learn about making a change.
If you really cared about making the world a better and more equal place, you would have moved about 10 feet and listened to someone who wanted to fix our society, not divide it. And if you think you did anything to heal the division in this country, you are gravely mistaken.
Hasty actions like yours will do nothing to reverse the demarcation of America. If anything, you'll drive moderate Christians to the other side and only cause harm to the causes you likely support. You wonder why gay marriage is illegal? Look in the mirror.
The next time someone is stupid enough to try and lecture against gays or Jews on this campus, plan a better response. You'll be doing us all a favor.

Don't respond to extremism with violence
I do not know what it is about Wescoe beach that draws out the extremists.
As I walked by on Wednesday, the explosion of noise coming from the mob grabbed my attention. Apparently, a religious extremist had been spouting a message of intolerance and hate, and the crowd was responding with anger and aggression.
My first thought was that this just looks bad for everyone. The man speaking bad off as a vicious hatemonger, and the crowd looked hostile, mean and out of control. They turned a solitary extremist into a ridiculous spectacle, and no one came off looking good.
After watching the crowd for a little while, I realized that we can do better. First off, responding to hate with violence is the wrong move. Those who decided to throw eggs at the speaker only worsened the situation by sinking to his level.
Also, the more people stand out there and listen to a speaker like that, the more successful he feels. Walking away is the best response to a man like that. Show him how alone he is in his beliefs, and he will

start to feel like he is wasting his time. Overreacting is counterproductive. I actually heard a girl make the following speech: "Y'all know that Jesus went to hell, don't ya? He said Jews were going to hell and he was a Jew and nobody should be following a religion if the leader went to hell!"
My only response is to say that if you do not know a lot about the issue then do not scream at the top of your lungs just to fuel the fire. The crowd handled the situation poorly, and we can do better.
Another thing to remember, for the extremists on the other side, is men like that do not accurately represent an entire religion. Most Christians believe that the message of their religion is contorted and twisted by angry rants like that. He sat there and judged everyone and pretended he was on a high horse of
perfection.
But Jesus said, "Let he who has no sin throw the first stone," and the Bible adds to that by saying, "All men have sinned." This man spent his entire time saying homosexuals and drunkards were going to hell. But the Bible says, "God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world". Mainstream Christians believe that all people are equal and none of us are perfect. They believe in a God of love and forgiveness. People like Fred Phelps and the man who spoke on Wescoe totally miss the point of Christianity, and they butcher the message of Jesus in the process.
If we know that his rant does not accurately reflect the mainstream view of a group, then it should be easy to just ignore him. The reason that Wesco beach draws out extremists like this is because they know how we like to react and it gives them a rush. They just keep coming, and it is our fault. We can do better.

COMMENTARY
Make it crazy on Halloween while you can
BY SARAH BROWN
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
It's the time of year again for most college students to dress up as complete nutcases and be justified in their actions.
Halloween is a long-awaited holiday for many because it allows the ladies to dress as inappropriately and revealing as possible and not feel ashamed about their outfits, or lack thereof. For guys, on the other hand, it usually is viewed as an opportunity to sit back and watch.
As my years at the University of Kansas quickly pass by, I realize that the need for students' all-out Halloween participation needs to be fulfilled now because there won't be many chances in the future to excuse such bizarre behavior and attire. I have scrambled together some last-minute Halloween ideas and advice for those of you who are looking to wholeheartedly take advantage of this year's Halloween festivities.
Are you even aware of how much most ladies spend on a costume solely to impress you with? Take the initiative and head to a costume store or shop online. Guys, you'd be amazed at all the different selections they have to offer you.
First, I will tackle the ladies. All right, we all know it's quite humorous to dress up in the most exposing outfits, but on the other hand, you might want to do a double-take in the mirror before leaving home.
For the rest of you who choose to not participate in Halloween, that's just foolish. In 10 years when you attend your job's annual Halloween party, don't expect all-out drunkenness and superhero dance-offs.
Now guys, it's your turn. This year, I want to see some actual participation. With most guys it's the typical last-minute jeans and favorite sports team jersey.
Want to save your funds for the drinks? Then make an impression on the ladies by hand-making your own costume.
Rather than viewing this holiday as another way to waste money or embarrass yourself, embrace it with the remaining youth that's left inside of you. The point of college is to enjoy those last remaining responsibility-free years of freedom. You will definitely be missing out if you choose to disregard this Halloween.
I'm not discouraging you from taking advantage of what no other holiday allows you to wear, just suggesting tastefulness. Those of you who plan on wearing midriff-bearing loincloth attire should reconsider your outfit, and reputation for that matter. And as always, what you don't remember from the night before will always come back to haunt you, of course, on Facebook.
Honestly, some of the outfits I've seen on girls in past Halloweens have left me thoroughly appalled and embarrassed for them. A "Desperate Housewife" costume doesn't necessarily entail appearing desperate or flat-out yelling, "I'm easy!"

Haunted Hawks Nights undergoes makeover
BY MATT ELDER
To attract a larger student audience, Student Union Activities has made several additions to its annual Haunted Hawks Nights event.
This year's event will feature psychic and tarot card reader Tina Lee, who works at Lawrence Metaphysical, 727 Massachusetts St.
"She's kind of a cook," said Taylor Miller, Hawks Nights coordinator, "which makes things fun."
The event, which has occurred for the past decade, will take place Saturday in the Hawk's Nest of the Kansas Union. SUA is promoting it as an alcohol-free alternative to Halloween parties.
Almost 300 people attended last year, making it one of the group's largest annual events. Costumes are encouraged but not required.
The event will also offer a pumpkin-carving contest with $400 in
prizes.
"Last year it was all engineering majors that won the contest," Miller said. "So we'll see what happens this year."
Kathy Talbot, student development adviser for union programs, said that the Hawks Nights Committee decided to show a movie from SUA's film committee. At midnight after the Haunted Hawkes event, SUA will show the film "Army of Darkness."
The event will also have free candy apples, apple cider and caramel popcorn. The event will not affect the weekly SUA-sponsored cosmic bowling event from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. every Friday and Saturday.

Wildfire kills four; arson suspected
NATION
BY GILLIAN FLACCUS ASSOCIATED PRESS
POPPET FLAT, Calif. — A wind-whipped wildfire started by an arsonist killed four firefighters Thursday and stranded up to 400 people in an RV park when flames burned to the edge of the only road out, officials said.
"Everybody is hunkered down here. They're fighting the fire around us. It's across the street from us," said Charles Van Brunt, a ranger at the station at the entrance to Silent Valley Club, the recreational vehicle park near Palm Springs. The residents were in no immediate danger, he said.
Authorities asked people in the RV park to stay put to leave the roads clear for firefighters. Hundreds of others in the area were forced from their homes.
Fire officials said the fire was deliberately set around 1 a.m. and offered a $100,000 reward. Fire Chief
John Hawkins said the arson "constitutes murder."
The Forest Service crew was trying to protect a house as dry desert winds of 25 mph or more blew a wall of flames down on them in the hills northwest of Palm Springs.
"They had left their truck to do structure protection when the fire overran them," said Forest Service spokesman Pat Boss, adding the flames came down so quickly they had no time to retreat to their engine or use protective sheltering.
Three firefighters died at the scene and two were hospitalized in critical condition. One of those two
died several hours later. The other had burns over 95 percent of his body, Boss said.
One other firefighter in the burned-out fire engine was critically injured, Boss said.
He said the Forest Service pulled all its personnel off the fire after the deaths so they could "gather their thoughts, say their prayers."
The fire quickly blackened more than six square miles and destroyed at least three homes. The weather service had issued a "red flag" warning for extreme fire danger because of the high winds and dry conditions.
Thick smoke blanketed the small
RV park off Highway 243, where as many as 400 people were stranded, authorities said. TV footage showed some vehicles racing through flames and smoke just before firefighters closed the road.
The cause of the wildfire was not immediately clear. It started early Thursday, burning in a valley with a few scattered ranch homes. The hamlets of Poppet Ranch and Twin Pines were evacuated along with a juvenile detention center, Twin Pines Boys Ranch.
Evacuations were ordered, and by early morning, about 200 people had left their homes, fire Capt. Julie Hutchinson said.

Cobain makes $50 million this year, posthumously
NEW YORK — Twelve years after his death, Kurt Cobain is making millions upon millions. He's even richer than the King.
Cobain, who raked in an estimated $50 million between October 2005 and October of this year, has edged Elvis Presley from
the No.1 spot on Forbes.com's list of "Top-Earnin Decelebrities"
Presley, who sat atop the list each year since its debut in 2001, ranks second with earnings of $42 million. Presley died in 1977.
Cobain, lead singer of grunge-rock band Nirvana, committed suicide in 1994. In March, his widow, Courtney Love, sold 25 percent of Nirvana's song catalog to Primary Wave Music Publishing.
Also on the list: Charles M. Schulz, John Lennon, Albert Einstein, Andy Warhol, Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel), Ray Charles, Marilyn Monroe, Johnny Cash, J.R.R. Tolkien, George Harrison and Bob Marley.
Forbes said the celebrities on the list collectively earned $247 million in the past year. The list was posted on the Web site Tuesday.

ENTERTAINMENT Madonna tells Oprah adopted child doing well
In an interview that aired Wednes day on "The Oprah Winfrey Show", the 48-year-old pop star said David
The 30-minute interview with Winfrey, conducted via satellite from London and taped Tuesday, was the first time she had spoken in depth about the adoption, which has been challenged by human rights groups that allege the singer used her fame and fortune to malaai's adoption laws.
Typically, prospective parents are required to stay in the southeastern African country during an 18-month evaluation period, but the judge who granted the interim custody order said the issue of residence is not specified in the laws.
"If only my wealth and my position could have made things go faster," Madonna said. "I assure you
it doesn't matter who you are and how much money you have, nothing goes fast in Africa."
CHICAGO — Madonna said the 13-month-old boy she plans to adopt from the African country of Malawi is healthy and thriving in her London home.
"David is amazing," she said. "What really surprises me is how great my children are with him and how he's transitioned so easily from living in Africa in an orphanage to living in our house."
The Associated Press
Madonna, who is married to film director Guy Ritchie, has two children — daughter Lourdes, 9, and son Rocco, 6.
Banda was healthy, despite having overcome malaria and tuberculosis.

Defense drives success
Jayhawks look to maintain winning streak on senior day
BY MARK DENT
Four down, one to go.
The Jayhawks are one victory away from closing out their season by winning all five of the games that Kansas coach Mark Francis called must-wins.
"I think you just realize the importance of the last five games as must-wins," Julie Hanley, sophomore goalkeeper, said. "If they weren't, it could be the end of the season. I think that really got through to people."
Kansas (11-6, 6-3) will finish its regular season and have its senior day at 3 p.m. today against Colorado at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
One of the reasons for the Jayhawks' recent success is defense. Kansas has not allowed an opponent to score in the last four games, and Big 12 Conference teams have averaged 0.33 goals per game against the Jayhawks. Hanley has been the anchor of the defense with her position at the net, but the rest of the backs have been preventing teams from even attacking the goal.
"A lot of it has to do with the 10 people in front of me," Hanley said. "They do all the work, and I just do
my job and stop the ball."
Although Hanley has been receiving praise lately, today will be all about the team's five seniors: Holly Gault, Nikki Alvarez, Jessica Kilpatrick, Lacey Novak and Michelle Mussensen.
Alvarez, a defender, has started several matches each season since her freshman year and has started every match this year except one. Novak, a forward, saved her best season for last. Francis said she was one of the hardest workers this offseason, and Novak has scored two goals this year.
Rasmussen is one of the team's captains and is best known for scoring the tying goal in last season's victory against Missouri. Kilpatrick is a fifth-year senior forward, who took last season off. Her comeback this season was highlighted by a goal against Pepperdine.
"They've done everything for us," Sara Rogers, sophomore forward, said. "They provide so much leadership and bring a lot to the team."
Gault, especially, has improved the team over the last four years. She's been named to the All-Big 12 and All-American teams. This season she showed her willingness
to help the team by moving from her former position as a defender to attacking roles. Gault's been slowed by nagging injuries this season but is coming off one of her best games of the season against Baylor, in which she had one goal and two assists.
"I'm not trying to put too much emphasis on senior day cause we're still going to be playing after this game," Gault said. "It'll be nice to have our last game in Lawrence, but I try and think about it as another game."
A red hot Colorado team (10-5-2, 4-4-1) will face Kansas this afternoon. The Buffaloes have won threestraight games after losing three in a row before that. Although it is senior day, don't expect Kansas to be distracted against its opponent.
"We'll do a little ceremony thing at the beginning, and it'll be great," Francis said. "I'm sure the team will want to take care of business so the seniors go out on a good note."
Kansan sportswriter Mark Dent can be contacted at mdent@kansan.com.
VOLLEYBALL (CONTINUED FROM 11A)
After every Kansas-serving ace on Saturday, a pink "Dig for a Cure"
"Hopefully we can get a lot of digs." Emily Brown, junior right side hitter/setter, said. "We got our families and the community involved. I think it's great."
The team will also try and pick up as many digs as possible as it is the "Dig for the Cure" match. The volleyball team has been seeking donations for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. October is the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Cornish laughed politely, then got back to work. After all, there's less than 72 hours until kickoff and another chance to chase his dream.
"Jon, I'm getting that wheel chair," Mangino joked after practice Wednesday. "I'll be right back."

CORNISH (CONTINUED FROM 11A)
Cornish is certainly an open book, willing to speak his mind about any topic. Take the postgame press conference after last weekend's game at Baylor, for example.
"Jon is Jon," Fine said. "What you see is what you get."
Kansan sportswriter Drew Davison can be contacted at ddavison@kansan.com.
Mangino still maintained this week that based on information he was given, he thought Cornish was injured.
"What?" Cornish said after Saturday's loss. "They assumed I was injured, I just got twisted up.
I'm just fine. I could have kept going into the fourth quarter"
That comment sparked rumors of a possible feud brewing this week between Cornish and Mangino.
As Mangino made his way toward the locker room from the practice field on Wednesday night, he looked over at Cornish, sur-
A frustrated Cornish sounded off about his alleged injury, and even took a small shot at coach Mark Mangino.
If there ever was one, it certainly appears to have passed.

prominence in his 17 seasons as the Wildcats' coach, issued a plea Thursday for fans to cut first-year coach Ron Prince some slack.
That hasn't stopped the Wildcats from being booed at home, with fans frustrated by an inconsistent offense that has produced just 12 touchdowns through eight games. In three of those games, Kansas State didn't have a single offensive touchdown.
"I have stated so very often that I came to Kansas State because of the people and I've stayed because of the people," he wrote. "You are truly wonderful. I am now asking that you please afford that same caring and loyal support to Ron Prince, his staff and players."
Snyder sent an open letter to the state's newspapers and broadcast outlets, praising Kansas State fans for their support of his coaching career.

Leading rusher goes for 1,000
29 KU 77
Kansan file photo
Jon Cornish, senior running back, drives against an opposing defense. Cornish has tallied 961 rush yards so far this season and Saturday he will likely become the 11th Jayhawk in 117 years to surpass the 1,000-yard mark despite the fact that Colorado has one of the too high defenses in the nation. Last season, Cornish led the team in rushing yards finishing with 780 yards.
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
On the brink of achieving a mark that few Jayhawks have ever attained, Jon Cornish couldn't be any more disinterested.
The senior running back is just 39 yards away from breaking the 1,000-yard mark on the season. He would become the 11th Kansas running back to reach that mark in 117 years. Barring an unexpected development, Cornish should rumble over that mark on his sixth carry in Saturday's game against Colorado. That carry should come sometime in the first quarter.
But for Cornish, the benchmark achievement isn't cause for celebration. It's just one step on the way to achieving his true goal.
- When asked about reaching the
  £000-yard milestone Wednesday,
  Cornish just shrugged his shoulders.
- "It's never been the ultimate
goal for me," he said. "1,000 is a four-digit number as compared to a three-digit number."
Cornish's ultimate goal appears to be Kansas' single-season rushing record of 1,442 yards set by Tony Sands in 1991, though he doesn't like to say it public. All he's say is that he's on track — exactly on track — to reach his goal.
If Cornish hits the 1,000-yard mark Saturday, he would also be Kansas' first 1,000-yard rusher since June Henley in 1996.
Though Cornish hasn't put much thought into his impending achievement, his teammates certainly have.
Those who block for Cornish have helped make his 961 yards possible and are taking great pride in the milestone he's about to achieve.
said. From the special teams player nearly turned linebacker, Cornish's track to the 1,000-yard mark has been anything but a smooth one.
"I'm out there doing a lot of blocking, and it really gives me some pride along with the offensive line," junior tight end Derek Fine
For most of his career as a Jayhawk, the British Columbia native mostly saw time on special teams. It wasn't until last season, where he split time with Clark Green, that Cornish finally saw significant time in the backfield. Once he got the chance, Cornish took advantage of it.
As a junior, Cornish led the team in rushing yards, touchdowns, average yards per carry and average yards per game. In total, he finished with 780 yards in 2005.
He also recorded one of the most memorable runs in Kansas history with his 72-yard touchdown run that helped propel the Jayhawks to their first victory in 36 years against Nebraska.

Jayhawks struggle to reach their fourth postseason
BY DREW DAVISON
Kansas will have an opportunity to pick up a victory at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center against Texas Tech.
"We still have a huge chance of getting in," Brittany Williams, freshman middle blocker, said. "But there is definitely serious urgency."
The Kansas volleyball team needs to win at least five of its last eight matches to be eligible for postseason play.
Kansas lost a four-game match at Texas Tech earlier in the season. The Jayhawks, however, defeated the Red Raiders last year at home.
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, knows how important the last eight matches will be for her team. Correa recently went back to her jump serve despite having two season-ending knee surgeries previously in her career.
》
Correa said she went back to the jump serve because she needed to do everything she could to help the team make its fourth consecutive NCAA tournament.
Kansas lost a four-game match to No. 20 Oklahoma on Wednesday. Texas Tech was defeated by Texas in a four-game match as well.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said the team needed to win and win quickly. The Jayhawks received a bid to last year's NCAA tournament after finishing eighth in the Big 12 with a 7-13 conference record. This year, Kansas will need to finish with at least eight conference victories to be eligible for the tournament. Teams must be .500 or better to be considered by the selection committee.

Mangino: Colorado a pretty good football team
BY SHAWN SHROYER
25
Coming off winning seasons and bowl appearances, Kansas and Colorado weren't supposed to be a combined 4-12 by week nine of this season.
Although only one of those victories belongs to Colorado, the buffalooes should match up well with the Jayhawks and could actually have momentum on their side heading into the weekend.
One thing is for sure: Kansas and coach Mark Mangino are in no position to take their opponent lightly.
"Colorado's record should not fool you," Mangino said. "They are a pretty good football team. Very good on the defensive side of the ball — they have a lot of talent there."
In the preseason, nobody doubted the strength of Colorado's defense. However, the Colorado offense appeared sketchy, at best, and has hindered the Buffaloes throughout the season. With the end of the season nearing, Colorado is showing improvements under first-year coach Dan Hawkins.
Linebacker Jordan Dizon has been a beast for the Colorado defense this season. After eight games, he is tied for second in the Big 12 Conference with 91 tackles, and 53 have been solo. His ability to stop opponents on third down has been astounding.
Dizon has 14 stops this season on third downs while the next highest total by a Colorado player is seven. Four more third down stops for Dizon will give him the Colorado single-season record. Dizon isn't the only linebacker Kansas will have to be aware of. Thaddeus Washington was named preseason All-Big 12 and is second on the team with 80 tackles.
With immobilequarterbackAdam
Barmann starting for Kansas, the Jayhawks should be more concerned about the Buffaloos' pass rush. Defensive end Abraham Wright is first in the conference and fourth in the nation with nine sacks. His 11 tackles for loss rank
yards a game, which is 10th in the conference, but cornerback Terrence Wheatley has been dangerous in Colorado's secondary. He's currently tied for the conference lead with four interceptions.
On offense, quarterback Bernard Jackson has improved considerably as of late, but on the season, he has thrown six interceptions to only three touchdowns. Jackson has been most effective running the
Colorado's defense could cause problems for an Adam Barmann-led Kansas offense. The Buffaloae's has allowed 88.5 rushing yards per game on the season. Colorado also has a defensive end that is ranked fourth in the nation with sacks and third in the Big 12 Conference with tackles for losses.
"They're a pretty good team, to be honest. I guess it's just the new system and they just haven't adjusted."
David Zalubowski/ASSOCIATED PRESS
DEXTON FIELDS Wide receiver
Between its linebackers and defensive line, Colorado has one of the best rush defenses around. Allowing only 88.5 rushing yards per game, Colorado is second in the conference and 15th in the nation. The Buffalooes will depend on their rush defense to contain Jayhawk running back Jon Cornish. Cornish is averaging 131 yards per game during conference play.
him third in the Big 12.
Colorado is giving up 228 passing
ball. He trails Colorado's leading rusher, running back Hugh Charles, by only 87 rushing yards with 419 this season.
The key for Colorado is getting Jackson to play consistently.
In Colorado's only victory, Jackson was 11-for-17 for 151 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, and added 54 rushing yards and a touchdown. In last week's 24-3 loss to Oklahoma, he was 3-for-14 for 39 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. He rushed for 54 yards again, but fumbled twice.
"If he can get some rhythm, he has shown that he can thrown the ball," Mangino said. "The key is not to let him get into a rhythm."
Of course, facing a Kansas defense that ranks next-to-last nationally in pass defense, Jackson should have no trouble finding a rhythm.
Regardless of Colorado's 1-7 record, Kansas players like wide
receiver Dexton Fields think the Buffaloes could be on the brink of breaking out of their slump under Hawkins.
"They're a pretty good team, to be honest," Fields said. "I guess it's just the new system and they just haven't
adjusted."

KU
KICKOFF
ATA GLANCE
Kansas enters the game on a four-game losing streak. In their last three losses, the Jayhawks have blown leads of at least 11 points. As well as Kansas played in the first half of last week's game at Baylor, it looked just as bad in the fourth quarter. The Jayhawks still have not been mathematically eliminated from postseason play. The team must win three of its next four games to qualify for a bowl game.
5 QUICK FACTS
34 days since Kansas' last victory.
7 turnovers forced by the defense in the last two games.
21 — games since the Jayhawks last allowed a 100-yard rusher.
4 — starts for backup quarterback Adam Barmann so far this season.
9-16 — Kansas record in games decided by 10 points or less under Mark Mangino.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Senior running back Jon Cornish is less than 40 yards from breaking the 1,000-yard mark for the season. It's likely to
Carmichael
Cornish
happen Saturday, with Cornish averaging 131 yards a game in conference play. Cornish could establish himself
as the Big 12's best back and become Kansas' first 1,000-yard rusher in a decade. The last Jayhawk to break 1,000 was June Henley in 1996.
QUESTION MARK
Will the team be in the right frame of mind to win?
You have to wonder how all these blown leads affect the psyche of the team with four games remaining. Coach Mark Mangino said he's seen some younger players begin to "press" and "force" things as the fourth quarter begins. If the game Saturday is close late, expect Colorado to get the win, despite its ugly 1-7 record.
RUSHING FOR 1,000 Cornish will likely hit milestone
GAME DAY
KANSAS VS. COLORADO 1 p.m., Saturday, Memorial Stadium, 105.9 F.M.
Kansas
Offense
If Kansas' offense is going to score against Colorado, it'll have to come on the legs of Jon Cornish. Without Kerry Meier, the responsibility to lead the offense falls on Cornish. Quarterback Adam Barmann has struggled to move the offense down the field. The key for Kansas is to Involve Cornish as much as possible and take the pressure off Barmann. In his three starts earlier this season, Barmann struggled with turnovers, giving the ball away six times in three games. If Barmann struggles with ball control, the Jayhawks will be in trouble.
KU
Defense
Kansas' young defense continued its struggles with pass defense last week against Baylor. The defense was able to get momentum early in the game by creating two turnovers. But once Baylor gained momentum early in the fourth quarter, the defense was on its heels for the rest of the game. Until this defense can get the confidence it needs to close out games, this team will struggle to win.
Offense
Colorado
WEEK
Colorado's offense is bad.Against Kansas,it doesn't have to be great.The problem is that it's strong where Kansas is best on defense and weak where Kansas is worst.Most of Colorado's offense comes on the ground, averaging 156 rushing yards per game, but Kansas has the fourth best rushing defense in the Big 12. When it comes to passing, Colorado is throwing for 107.9 yards a game - by far the worst in the conference and 115th out of 119 Division I A schools. The next worst passing team in the Big 12 is averaging 186.4 yards per game.Of course,Kansas has a knack for making opposing quarterbacks look like Davey O'Brien Award finalists.With Kansas giving up 27.4 points per game, Colorado should easily improve its 14.1-points-per-game average.In fact, Colorado could surpass their points-per-game average in the fourth quarter alone with Kansas allowing 18 points per fourth quarter over its last three games.
Kansas appeared to have found the momentum and confidence it needed to make a serious bowl run in the first half against Baylor. Then came the fourth quarter. Once again, the Jayhawks failed to preserve another double-digit lead. If this team is going to have any chance at a bowl game, it must find a way to win Saturday. Another loss and this team will be home for the holidays—for sure.
Momentum
If Colorado can shut down Kansas' running game, it will have a chance. The Buffalooes have been solid all season, giving up only 88.5 rushing yards per game — good for 15th in the nation — but they did surrender 166 rushing yards to an Oklahoma offense that was without running back Adrian Peterson last weekend. Kansas running back Jon Cornish is no
29
Peterson, but he is far more capable than Oklahoma's backup running back Allen Patrick. Colorado's pass defense is 10th in the big 12, allowing 228 yards per game, but it shouldn't be too worried about Kansas' passing attack, regardless of who is at guard.
Jon Cornish
Defense
Ryan Schneider
terback for the Jayhawks. In the second half of the last three games — the time when the Kansas offense has turned ultra-conservative — the Jayhawks are averaging only 68 passing yards. Even if Colorado's offense struggles early, the defense just needs to keep the game within reach until the fourth quarter.
Momentum
Despite its lackluster record, Colorado is starting to show some signs of life under new coach Dan Hawkins. The Buffaloes lead the all-time series 41-21-3 and certainly won't be intimidated by the Jayhawks' 0-4 Big 12 record. Two weeks ago Colorado earned its first overall and conference win of the season, shutting down pass happy Texas Tech 30-6. The 24-3 loss to Oklahoma last week had to be disheartening, as Colorado surely expected to play better since the Sooners were playing without running back Adrian Peterson for the first time all season. If Colorado can make Saturday's game close, kicker Mason Crosby could be the difference-maker. Likely to earn national honors this season and be the first kicker selected in the 2007 NFL Draft, Crosby has connected from as far as 60 yards in his career. He is also 11-for-12 in the final eight minutes of games in his career; his only miss was from 63 yards.

CU KICKOFF
ATAGLANCE
Kansas had better be especially cautious if it mounts a big lead this week. Saturday will mark the 28th anniversary of Colorado's largest comeback in school history, which came in 1978. Colorado trailed Missouri by 20 points that day and came back to win 28-27. While this game is technically a must-win for Kansas, it is literally a must-win for Colorado. Mathematically, the Buffaloes are still in contention for the Big 12 North title and a bowl game, but a lot of chips must fall in their favor. Both teams will have their backs to the wall, needing a victory to continue their season.
5 QUICK FACTS
2 — quarterbacks listed ahead of current starter Bernard Jackson on Colorado's preseason depth chart.
4 Division I-A schools with fewer passing yards per game than Colorado.
12 — Colorado's rank in the Big 12 with 116 first downs; 44 of those are through the air, worst in the conference by 18.
45. 9 percentage Colorado opponents are converting on third down, good for last in the Big 12.
300 — games Colorado will have played on artificial turf after Saturday.
PLAYER TO WATCH

the football. However, Colorado's specialty on defense is stuffing the run, and Dizon is a major reason why. According to
CU Athletics, he leads the team with 91 tackles, which would tie him for the second most tackles in the conference. 53 of his tackles have been solo, which is also second best in the conference. He is tied for second on the team with 2.5 sacks and has five other tackles for losses. He also has 14 stops on third down, the most of any player on the team.
QUESTION MARK
Who will win Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week?
Last week it was Baylor quarterback Shawn Bell. Two weeks ago it was Oklahoma State receiver Adarius Bowman. Three weeks ago it was Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee. All three received the honors after playing Kansas, so which Colorado player will it be this week?

No.19 Oklahoma (5-2, 2-1) at No.23 Missouri (7-1, 3-1), Saturday 11 a.m. on ABC
Oklahoma's first week without running back Adrian Peterson was a success as it racked up 166 rushing yards against a Colorado defense that wasn't allowing half that amount entering the game. However, Oklahoma will face a much tougher pass defense this week.
Oklahoma and Missouri collide as the nation's lone Top 25 match-up of the weekend. While the victor will keep their Big 12 Championship hopes alive, the loser will have to fight an uphill battle to reach the conference championship game.
Led by safety David Overstreet, who won Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week last week, Missouri has the third best pass defense in the conference. On offense, quarterback Chase Daniel is seventh in the nation in total offense per game and running back Tony Temple is third in the conference in rushing yards per game.

No. 5 Texas (7-1, 4-0) at Texas Tech (5-3, 2-2),
Saturday 4 o'm on TRS
If the Red Raiders are going to make a statement this season, this is their chance. History isn't in their favor, though. Texas leads the series 40-14 and has a three-game winning streak against Texas Tech.
Texas quarterback Colt McCoy proved last week that he's ready to lead the Longhorns. In freezing weather in his first game outside the state of Texas, McCoy moved the ball down the field for a game-winning field goal against Nebraska. He is third in the conference and ninth in the nation with a 165.4 pass efficiency rating.
Texas Tech will be up against the No. 2 rushing defense in the country, so it's a good thing the Red Raiders run the ball only 16.88 times per game. Texas has just the ninth best pass defense in the Big 12 and Texas Tech will look to exploit the Longhorn secondary. Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell is averaging 313 passing yards per game and is fouch in the country in total offense.

Georgia (6-2,3-2) at No. 9 Florida (6-1,4-1), Saturday 2:30 p.m.on CBS
This hasn't been Georgia's year, losing consecutive games to Tennessee and Vanderbilt and barely beating Colorado, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, but none of that will matter if it can win Saturday. The Bulldog offense relies on its rushing game, which consists of steady doses of running backs Kregg Lumpkin and Thomas Brown, who have 731 combined rushing yards this season.
Florida enters the 84th edition of the "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" as the favorite, but Georgia owns the all-time series advantage at 45-36-2. Nevertheless, the Gators will be looking to continue their recent dominance of the Bulldogs, having won 14 of the last 16 meetings.
Conversely, Florida depends on a two-quarterback attack. Chris Leak is the passing specialist with 1,503 passing yards and 15 touchdowns to six interceptions. Tim Tebow has been dangerous with his legs, rushing for a team high four touchdowns and is second on the team with 245 rushing yards.

Kansas Wal-Marts to offer $4 medications
Kansas was one of 12 states Wal-Mart added to the list of 15 states already offering $4 generic prescription drugs last week. The prescriptions will be offered at all 63 Wal-Mart stores in Kansas.
Continuing its theme of rolling back prices, Wal-Mart of Bentonville, Ark., began offering the discounted prescriptions three weeks ago. The
program was set to launch in Florida and surrounding states no earlier than Jan. 2007, but because of the demands of its customers, Wal-Mart accelerated the start time.
The retailer has made 314 generic prescriptions available to its customers at the $4 price for up to a 30-day supply at usually prescribed doses. Wal-Mart spokesman Dan Fogleman said the prescriptions offered accounted for about 25 percent of
the prescriptions written per year, though he couldn't say how many generics they have in stock.
"Working families, senior citizens and the uninsured struggle to meet health care costs," he said. "We're hoping we can make a difference in their lives by giving them medicine they need at prices they can afford."
Fogelman said this plan is beneficial for college students, especially students without insurance, students
putting themselves through school and living on a tight budget. It would also benefit students still on their parents insurance because it could be cheaper than paying a co-pay, he said.
Whitney Hobson, Wichita sophomore, said Wal-Mart's prescription plan was a good idea because it allowed college students a cheaper option for medication, especially for those who are not covered by their
parents' insurance.
"I'm still on my parent's insurance but I know a lot of people who aren't. Most likely this is the only option that they have right now," she said.
Zack Stoltenberg, Gering, Neb., senior, said Wal-Mart was the only place he knew that would be able to afford this type of plan.
"its kind of sad to see a big box corporation take over one more thing, but if it's going to help people, I don't
see any problem with it," he said.
Walgreens of Deerfield, Ill., a competitor, doesn't feel the need to match Wal-Mart's new generic prescription drug plan, Carol Hively, a Walgreens spokeswoman said in an e-mail.
"Nearly 95 percent of Walgreens pharmacy patients have insurance coverage," she said.

Halloween sales increase
Halloween isn't just about candy, scaring people and costumes anymore. It has become the sixth-biggest holiday, according to money spent.
Local stores see holiday's popularity increasing with adults
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
As reported by a National Retail Federation survey, consumers are expected to spend $4.96 billion this Halloween, $1.76 billion more than what was spent a year ago. The survey also indicated that 63.8 percent of consumers will participate in Halloween festivities this year, up from 52.5 percent of consumers last year.
But this isn't only a national trend. Lawrence retailers report a significant rise in Halloween-related sales this year. The owners of Fun and Games, 830 Massachusetts St., and Party America, 1441 W. 23rd St., said sales doubled this Halloween from last year. And Fun and Games had record sales last year, owner Kyle Billings said.
The NRF, the world's largest retail trade association, polled more than 8,000 consumers to gauge their behavior and shopping trends related to Halloween.

Billings added that he had
"Each year, it gets bigger and bigger," he said.
Party America owne: Larry Schlosser said he thought Halloween had become the biggest adult holiday of the year. He attributed part of the rise in popularity to the college-aged crowd's affinity for the holiday.

It's been 30 hours since Hardesty last slept, and his night shift at the Kwik Shop has just begun.
Overnight employment causes stress, limits sleep
It's late Wednesday night, which means the regular crowd of drag queens from the Liquid Bar and Nightclub, 804 W. 24th St., will be migrating his direction after another alternative lifestyles night. As one of the few places in Lawrence open during early morning hours, Kwik Shop, 1611 E. 23rd St., became the hangout for the "ladies" and their five-oclock shadows.
"Sometimes I just need to rest my eyes." Hardesty said. "There's days where the last thing I want to do is stand for eight hours."
Standing behind a cash register with swollen bags under his eyes, Nate Hardesty shows signs of fatigue.
Hardesty,
Salina senior, is
one of many KU
students working while most people are sleeping. They're the students and locals who keep the lights on in Lawrence after dark, and who struggle to balance a nighttime academic workload. They fight sleep deprivation and fatigue, weight gain and insomnia and become dependant on artificial stimulants like coffee and caffeinated soft drinks from a schedule completely turned upside down. Among college drunks and drag queens, these nocturnal workers have learned first hand that Lawrence is a different world after sunset.
"There's days where the last thing I want to do is stand for eight hours."
Hardesty originally began working the late shifts on holidays — Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve, until picking up the shift four nights a week from 10 p.m. to

schedule are too often sacrificing the need for sleep in their lives. As a result, many of these students are struggling or achieving less academically than they would by leading a more convenient
tional work and class schedule.
Sleep deprivation can also result in health problems more serious than a constant battle with fatigue. Vincent Caillieux, Lyndon senior, has developed acid reflux problems since beginning to work the night shift as a front desk attendant at the Quality Inn, 801 Iowa St.
"Sleep is something to help rejuvenate our brain and neuro-transmitters," Brown said. "It takes a toll and is an ongoing condition that can affect our attention and learning levels."
Calliéx said that going to work when he'd previously gone to bed was the most difficult change he's had to make since starting the night shift.

Spotlight on Organizations
KU for Uganda
BY MEGAN HIRT
On its list of 10 things that the average person can do for northern Uganda, the Uganda Conflict Action Network suggests that college students start organizations to educate and empower their campus communities.
The Web site then names KU For Uganda, KU4U, as the model for just such an organization.
Though many student organizations campaign for an end to global injustice, KU4U's focus on the overlooked, war-torn region of northern Uganda makes it a standout amongst organizations at the University of Kansas, and a national forerunner in collegiate activist groups.
"We feel it's our moral obligation to do what we can," said KU4U President Nathan Mack, Lawrence
junior, noting that the United Nations has referred to the more than 20-year conflict in northern Uganda as today's most neglected humanitarian crisis.
KU alumna Rebekah Heacock, who currently works at a Ugandan orphanage, founded KU4U last fall. Though still quite new to campus, the organization has already made itself highly visible by introducing many unique events that draw attention to the hardships faced by Uganda's citizens and raising funds for their aid.
KU4U has hosted two Gulu Walks, which address the plight of the thousands of Ugandan children who trek miles from their homes each night to escape the Lord's Resistance Army, a rebel group that kidnaps children to fight in its revolt against the Ugandan government. Gulu Walks took place worldwide on Oct. 21, and Mack
said that KU4U's Walk raised more than $2,000 on behalf of Ugandan night commuters.
During the upcoming holiday season, the organization will send cards and small gifts to children at an orphanage in Kampala, Uganda. KU4U has brought together local bands for Uganda benefit concerts and produced a compilation CD entitled "Emirembe (Hope) Now." Bands donated their songs, and all proceeds go to the orphanage.
KU4U has ongoing letter-writing campaigns urging senators and members of Congress to support U.S. leadership in restoring peace to northern Uganda. The group is also hoping to bring a prominent speaker to campus this spring.
With peace talks currently taking place in southern Sudan, Mack is optimistic about the future of relief efforts for Uganda.
"It's the best time to gain support," he said, adding that the success of the peace talks depends greatly on support from the international community, as well as awareness on an individual level.
"If people can't make it to the meetings or events, the most important thing they can do is tell their friends about what's going on," Mack said.
KU4 U meets at 3 p.m. every Sunday at the Mirth Cafe, 8th and New Hampshire streets.
Students looking for more information on KU4U or the conflict in northern Uganda should e-mail kuforuganda@gmail.com.

Dennis the Menace statue stolen from city park
MONTEREY, Calif. — The mischievous Dennis the Menace has gone missing — except this time, he's not hiding because he broke the rules.
A statue of the perennial pint-sized troublemaker that stood for almost two decades in a city park
was unbolted and stolen sometime between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, police said
today morning, police said.
Police said the statue, which is 3 feet tall and weighs 125 pounds, is worth as much as $30,000. The city is offering a $5,000 reward for its safe return.
Police aren't sure how the thief or thieves got the bulky statue out of the park but are asking the public for any tips about Dennis' whereabouts.
Dead woman wins school board race by flip of a coin
JUNEAU, Alaska --- A coin toss made a dead woman the winner of a rural school board race.
Incumbent Katherine Dunton and challenger Dona Highstone were tied after the Oct. 3 election in Adak, the same day Dunton died.
The elections director flipped the coin to determine the winner Friday. Highstone called heads, but the coin landed on tails.
Even with Dunton's death, state law requires a tie vote to be settled
by lot after an official recount.
The school board must now find a replacement for the three-year term.
"This is definitely a new one for the division, and it's just, just — I'm speechless, frankly," she said.

LAWRENCE Wal-Mart pursues lawsuit with city commission
A lawsuit stemming from allegations that the city denied a building permit for a Wal-Mart store at Sixth St. and Wakarusa Dr., has been restarted after seven months.
The city commission and Wal-Mart property owners agreed to put the lawsuit on hold in April so that Wal-Mart could submit a different development plan for the proposed store, David Corliss, city manager, said.
Wal-Mart decided to pursue the case again after the city commission voted 3-2 to reject a plan to build a 99,000-square-foot Wal-Mart store Tuesday. The development plan that was presented to the committee Tuesday was for a store that was 32,000 square feet smaller than a plan originally denied by the committee, which sparked this lawsuit.

Azita Aosheseinl, Tehran, Iran, graduate student, shows Aline Hoey and her 5-year-old son, Liam Hoey-Kummerow, a demonstration that turns dry ice from a solid to a gas, which expands a balloon. The 11th annual Carnival of Chemistry used fun experiments to expose kids to chemistry Sunday afternoon at Malot Hall.
Students get taste of chemistry lesson
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Disguised in a fiery orange wig and lab coat, Meghan Denchfield warned her audience in the basement of Malott Hall to cover their ears. Then she lit a balloon on fire, which exploded with a loud boom that seemed to shake the auditorium and left a puff of green smoke in the air.
The demonstration was part of "Frozen Flames University Demonstration," one of dozens of demonstrations by KU students at the 11th-annual Carnival of Chemistry Sunday afternoon. The carnival, hosted mostly by students in the chemistry club, was a way to get children interested in science, said Tiffany Maher, Oklahoma City graduate student and co-coordinator of the event.
"They go back to their teachers
and ask, 'Why did this happen? How did this happen?' she said. "That starts the question process, which leads to the learning process."
Children and their parents filtered in and out of classrooms and laboratories where various activities were available to them. The theme of the carnival was "Your Home ... It's All Built on Chemistry." Other activities included decorating cookies, examining the parts of a computer and the flush mechanism of a toilet and microwaving Ivory soap to see what happens to the air inside it.
Qing Chang, Topeka graduate student, helped children make silly putty. He said the concepts were simple and fun for children to understand.
"It's very hands on," Chang said. "It's fun for kids to play around with."
The "Frozen Flames" show play
fully pitted two fictional female scientists, Dr. Cool and Dr. Pyro, who represented ice and fire, against one another in an attempt to prove which element was better. Each alternated demonstrating the magnificent abilities of her element, which kept the audience laughing, shrieking and "ooting" and "sahing."
Denchfield, Pickering, Ontario, senior, was Dr. Pyro. She added nitrogen and oxygen to the balloon experiment, causing objects in the room to shake, and boric acid, which caused a green cloud of residue to the delight of the audience. Allison York, Alton, Ill., senior, played Dr. Cool. Dressed in an icy lab coat and a magenta wig, she hammered a nail into a block of wood using a banana that was dipped in liquid nitrogen.
Six-year-old Miranda Powell said the explosion was her favorite part of
the show. She leaned forward on the edge of her mom's lap to watch the show. Her mom, Michelle Powell, said her favorite part was the "smart women" in the production.
During the show, York, Denchfield and several student assistants dressed in equally flashy garbs, sang and danced to accompanying music and a video presentation. The group performs the show year-round at schools.
At the end of the show, the ladies begrudgingly reached an equilibrium, deciding that one element was no good without the other. They then sang a rousing rendition of a song entitled "Chemistry Tonight."

Turnout high for Halloween in Halls
>> STUDENT HOUSING
BY MATT ELDER
Five-year-old Evan's tail would wag if it could. Dressed in his lion Halloween costume, his pumpkin-shaped trick-or-treat bucket is nearly overflowing with candy gathered from the KU residence halls.
Evan is only on the second of Ellsworth's nine floors, and he's working his way to the top.
Lawrence children gathered candy from students in residence halls Sunday night as part of the annual Halloween in the Halls event. The Association of University Residence Halls funded the event and each hall government was responsible for picking a theme.
Jasmine Worthhall, AURH vice president for programming, said the residence hall always expect to see children who live at Stouffer Place, the University's married-student apartment complex. "But this year we've advertised to all the local schools as well," she said.
The Lawrence community seemed to have accepted the invitation. Many residents in Ellsworth were completely out of candy with more than an hour of trick-or-treating still to go. Ellsworth residents said that there were considerably more children trick-or-treating in
the halls this year than they'd been told to expect.
"There's been a lot of older-looking kids, 13- or 14-year-olds that are walking around with full pillow cases," said Amelia Kellam. St. Louis junior and Ellsworth resident assistant.
Many floors participated in the event by decorating their lobbies for the children. Kellam's floor had a pirate cave for the students to walk through, where treasure chests were filled with candy for them to take. Kellam said that Spiderman costumes were the most common for boys trick-or-treating this year, and princess outfits for the girls.
McCollum Hall had carnival games, and Baby Jay took pictures with the children from five to six p.m. Oliver Hall had Halloween-themed arts and crafts. Hashinger Hall, Lewis Hall, Templin Hall, Elsworth Hall and GSP-Corbin Hall all had Halloween treats, such as candy apples and popcorn balls, for their young guests.

Winds, rain, snow blast Northeast region of U.S.
NEW YORK — Thousands of homes and businesses had no electricity Sunday from Maryland to Maine as a storm system blasted the region with winds gusting to more than 50 mph, knocking over trees and a construction crane. The storm was blamed for at least two deaths.
Gusts of 70 mph were possible Sunday in northern New York state, the National Weather Service said.
A falling tree killed a motorcyclist in Massachusetts, police said. In New Hampshire, one man was missing after falling off a cruise ship on Lake Winnipesaukee during the storm late Saturday, and one man drowned when his kayak overturned on a rain-swollen river, state officials said.
Power failures elsewhere across the region still affected more than two dozen communities Sunday across New Hampshire; 9,500 homes and businesses in Massachusetts; 1,500 customers in Rhode Island; 6,400 in Connecticut;
2,900 in Maryland; 5,000 in New Jersey; 4,700 on New York's Long Island; and 15,500 in upstate New York, state and utility officials said.
The weather observatory atop New Hampshire's 6,288-foot Mount Washington, famous for severe weather, reported sustained wind of 100 mph and a gust to 114 mph. The peak also got 11 inches of snow overnight, for an October total of 39 Inches.
The wind, rain and snow were produced by a stronger-than-normal low pressure system.
Associated Press
"The average co-pay for the generics listed is just over $5. That's not enough of a difference to make most people stop using their preferred pharmacy, Hively said. For seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D plans, the average co-pay for the same medications drops to just over $3, so they would actually pay less."
Hively added that the number of generics offered by Wal-Mart is a small portion of the 1,800 generic drugs available at Walgreens stores.
Fogleman, Wal-Mart spokesperson, didn't know how many of their pharmacy customers had insurance coverage versus the number that didn't.
PRESCRIPTIONS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Nicole Corcoran, a spokeswoman for Governor Kathleen Sebellius, said in an e-mail that the governor spoke with Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott last February in Washington D.C. at a National Governor's Association meeting. They talked about when the retailer would begin its health efforts.

"Governor Sebelius supports initiatives that bring safe, lower-cost prescription drugs to Kansans," Corcoran said. "She's pleased Wal-Mart has decided to expand their program to Kansas and believes it's another option to make some generic prescriptions more affordable."

He's right. According to the NRF survey, 85.3 percent of consumers aged 18 to 24 will celebrate Halloween this year. The number jumped from last year's 66.8 percent. The number of young professionals celebrating Halloween has also risen from 71.3 percent of consumers celebrating the holiday last year to 76.5 percent this year among people 25 to 34.
HALLOWEEN (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The Halloween season is getting longer with some eager party-goers buying costumes in early September. Billings said Halloween represented half a year's business for Fun and Games.
Schlosser said Christmas used to

So what are the college student wearing this year? Billings said that even though pirate costumes are typically a popular choice with the men, this year is bigger than ever.
"There could be 10 pirates at a party and they'll all be different," Billings said.
Johnny Depp's portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in last year's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" may have contributed to the trend, Schlosser said.
Party America is almost out of beer-keg costumes. Schlosser said they were popular with the college men for obvious reasons.
For the women, Schlosser said "sexy things" are in favor this year. Choosing the right costume is a big deal for the college women, he said.
"You'll see them going through different costumes with their cell phones." Schlosser said. "They've got to check with someone."
Billings and Schlosser said their stores were running out of everything, but they both expected a late surge on the day and night of Halloween.

Nigerian plane crash kills Muslim leader
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ABUJA, Nigeria — A Nigerian airline with 104 people on board slammed into the ground moments after takeoff on Sunday — the third deadly crash of a passenger plane in less than a year in this West African nation known for its notoriously unsafe air industry. Six people survived, and the rest were believed dead.
Among those killed was the man
regarded as the spiritual leader of Nigeria's Muslims, and thousands of people gathered at a regional airport to receive his body.
Rescue workers found debris from the smashed plane, body parts and luggage strewn over an area the size of a football field.
The plane went down inside the sprawling airport compound about two miles from the runway. Smoke rose from the aircraft's mangled and smoldering fuselage. Its tail hung from a tree.
Emergency workers pulled blackened corpses from the wreckage, then covered the bodies with white sheets and hauled them away in stretchers. An Associated Press reporter counted at least 50 cadavers, though other bodies had been transported earlier to local morgues.
The plane was bound for the northwest city of Sokoto. Witnesses said there was a rainstorm around the time the aircraft took off, but rains later subsided, giving way to overcast skies.
Mustapha Shehu, spokesman for the Sokoto state government, had said earlier that the sultan's son, Muhammed Maccido, a senator, also was aboard the flight, along with Abdulrahman Shehu Shagari, son of former Nigerian President Shehu Shagari, who was in office between 1979 and 1983. Their fates were not immediately known.
Last year, two planes flying domestic routes crashed within seven weeks of each other in Nigeria, killing 224 people.
NIGHT (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
It's something his body refuses to completely adjust to, he said. Cailteux found himself eating at the same times as his old schedule, with his meals being immediately before he was going to bed. An acid reflux problem was the result, and he's been fighting it since.
"It's not like you can tell your body's urges, like eating, to stop even though mentally you need to," Callteux said. "It's a disorienting process."
Brown also said that students with sleep deficiencies often suffered from depression and anxiety-induced illnesses'. He suggested medical attention could ease changes in student-sleeping cycles like those experienced by both Hardesty and Cailloux.
Brown said melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleepwake cycles, can help people adjust
their sleep schedules.
Carole Guillaume,
Watkins physician and sleep medicine specialist, said businesses that operate at night often use fluorescent lighting that simulates
schedule. $ ^{n} $
Calteilue said that sleep deprivation and excessive "down time" at work has kept alive a reluctant addiction he began in the Navy alive.
"I smoke cigarettes, and while that's bad for me, the side effect of it is that it kind of keeps me up," Cailteux said. "So while socially people may look down upon it, I do it for different reasons."
Justin Clay, Kansas City, Kan. senior, has increased his caffeine intake drastically since he began working as a delivery driver for Gumby's Pizza, 1445 W. 23rd St. While he only works three nights a week, cleanup often keeps him at work until after 4 a.m. Clay said he struggles to get to his 8 a.m. class on less than four hours of sleep.
Clay has also noticed his health diminishing since starting work at

Gumby's. Clay said his irregular sleep schedule led to irregular eating cycles, which led to recent stomach problems and weight gain.
"My eating schedule can be extremely abnormal." Clay said. "I've probably put on five to 10 pounds since I've been there."
Michael Humphrey, assistant manager at Wheatfields Bakery and Cafe, 904 Vermont St., has developed into a coffee aficionado since starting work at the bakery five years ago. He prefers the 3 a.m. to noon shift, making Wheatfield's
hand-shaped artisan breads, to a typical 9 to 5 job. Since Humphrey's change of schedule to the early morning shift, he too has relied on artificial stimulants to put the pep back in his step.
"I drink espresso by the gallons," Humphrey said.
Brown acknowledged a natural attraction to stimulants such as caffeine in high-stress circumstances, but said that stimulants should never be used as a crutch in sleep-deprived instances. It is something he feels students are too often abusing as a substitute for a good night's sleep.
Humphrey said he prefers the bakery's more tranquil environment to many of the other food delivery and bar-crowd options available in Lawrence. His cost for the quieter environment is a social life Humphrey describes as "kind of cut off."
"It's funny going to work early on a Friday or Saturday when the bars are just getting out," Humphrey said. "People are really rowdy, and there's a totally different atmosphere outside the bakery doors than inside for sure."
Hardesty's distractions only begin with Thursday morning drag queens. He's been flashed by a young woman while at work working free items, been offered extravagant amounts of money to sell alcohol after midnight — which is illegal in Kansas — and regularly deals with crowds of homeless people seeking shelter or conversation.
But the graveyard shift isn't for everyone. J.R. Burbridge, Spring Hill senior, was a delivery driver for Jimmy Johns, 1447 W. 23rd St. Burbridge worked the late night
circuit for a year-and-a-half, often ending shifts at 4 or 5 a.m. in the morning. After accumulating a large number of absences in his early morning classes trying to squeeze in a few extra moments of sleep, Burbridge began noticing the disastrous effects his job was having on his academic success. After dealing with the "drunken college atmosphere," Burbridge became tired of the fast-food industry as a job.
"I've delivered to people answering the door completely naked, parties where people offer you shots of alcohol or to smoke you up instead of payments, which never really went over well," he said.
These reoccurring encounters all led to longer delivery times and the store closing later than Burbridge had expected.. It was too straining on him, and he left his job at Jimmy John's for a position at Papa Keno's Pizzaria.
"Keno's is a bit more expensive than limmy John's, so you're taking away the crowd that's obnoxious and drunk." Burbridge said. "Plus we stop delivering at 10 o'clock."
While Burbridge may have escaped the grasp of late-night jobs, Hardesty continues to punch the time card of the graveyard shift at the Kwik Shop.
"Generally people are really nice, which helps things go smooth." Hardesty said. "But honestly, I don't remember what life was like before I had to do this."

Police make attempt to stop violence

A barricade set up by protesters burns in downtown Oaxaca, Mexico. President Vicente Fox ordered federal police to intervene in this picturesque city torn by more than five months of protests and violence.
OAXACA, Mexico — Federal police armed with assault rifles and riot shields stormed this normally picturesque tourist destination Sunday, bypassing barricades and touching off fierce street battles as they tried to end five months of protests and violence.
Officers in black helmets entered the city from several sides, reinforced by armored vehicles, trucks mounted with high-pressure water cannons and bulldozers. Helicopters roared overhead.
Police marched up to a metal barrier blocking the historic city center - which has served as home base for the protests since late May - but pulled back as protesters armed with poles and sticks attacked them from behind, hurling burning tires.
Protesters could be seen readying Molotov cocktails and other homemade bombs, but had yet to use them against police, who fired tear gas canisters. The area filled with black smoke from burning cars. Some protesters used syringes to pierce their arms and legs, then paint signs decrying the police in blood.
"I think their strategy isn't working," said protest organizer Hugo Pacheco.
Police and state authorities - often in plainclothes - have shot at protesters, setting off clashes in which at least eight demonstrators have died since August.
President Vicente Fox, who leaves office Dec. 1, resisted months of repeated calls to send federal forces to Oaxaca until Saturday, a day after gunfire killed a U.S. activist-journalist and two residents.
Fearing further violence, the president had hoped to negotiate a peaceful end to the Oxaca unrest.
Normally a beautiful site, Oaxaca's main plaza of historic arched buildings and towering shade trees is now covered with graffiti. Protesters have set up a group of tents that serve as their base of operations.
On one major street, police buses had most of their windows shattered by protesters hurling rocks and massive chunks of concrete.
While some protesters retreated as federal forces advanced, others fortified their blockades, pledging a street-by-street defense against police.
Authorities are not saying how many officers were sent to Oaxaca, but protesters have estimated there are at least 4,000 in the city.

> OUR VIEW
Minister's speech disgusting,rightly protected
Students may have disapproved of the minister's rant against homosexuals, Jews, Muslims and others last Wednesday, but the First Amendment rightly protects this objectionable behavior.
Count the editorial board among those who deplore the minister's message. But we support his First Amendment right to express it. Those students who
tried to suppress his speech were not only wrong in a legal sense, but in a practical sense as well.
A speaker's messages of hate and intolerance serve to inform civil people of the speaker's extremist viewpoints. If hate speech were banned, how would we know who hated?
Reasonable people must have access to this knowledge to make
good decisions, such as whether to give the men jobs, should their stint as preachers fail to pay the bills. At least now we know that neither Michael Venyah, the preacher, nor Chris Lemieux, the cameraman, should hold jobs teaching religious and cultural tolerance.
Fortunately,the CodeofStudent Rights and Responsibilities does
not prohibit hate speech, unlike other universities. Courts have mostly struck down these policies because the Constitution protects this type of speech.
Court precedents like R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul likely make hate speech codes unconstitutional, according to legal experts. In the 1992 case, a youth was charged with violating a hate crime ordinance after burning a cross on a black family's property. Supreme Court justices unanimously ruled against the ordinance because of its vagueness.
Justice Antonin Scalia, in the Court's main opinion, wrote, "The First Amendment does not permit St. Paul to impose special prohibitions on those speakers who express views on disfavored
subjects."
Similarly, though we find Venyah's views repugnant and offensive, we still support his right to express those views. His speech is not worthless; with it, Venyah lets us know that people like him exist.

COMMENTARY
In a world of falling prices, (most) resistance is futile
The City postponed the Wal-Mart proposal again, but that doesn't mean Lawrence isn't going to get a second retail monstrosity. "Postponed" isn't the same as "denied," and the long and costly battle against Wal-Mart will ultimately end with a second store being built at Sixth and Wakarusa streets. There isn't a need for a second store, especially when the store on Iowa has just recently undergone expansion, but trying to understand Wal-Mart is as futile as trying to fight it.
There was a period of my life when I was so outraged by the business practices of the store that I vowed to never shop there. In Lawrence, it was an easy endeavor thanks to Target, but when I traveled home to see my parents, Wal-Mart was the only real retail option I had. Furthermore, it was hard to stand by my morals when my parents kept sending me on errands to Wal-Mart to buy their groceries, toiletries, and prescription drugs. In the end, I gave up my righteous fight and fell victim to the drug that is low prices.
Most Kansas students have grown up with Wal-Mart. I remember when I was a kid in Coffeville, there was a small Wal-Mart on our east side of town. Later, a bigger and nicer store was built on the west side. In Independence, a town nearby, Wal-Mart arrived and people worried that other stores subsequently would close. Wal-Mart promised that it was a good thing they were coming: They would bring jobs and their low prices would force other businesses to compete, causing a bargain domino effect. However, I saw a different domino effect when Dillons, Food-4-Less, and K-Mart closed down: When their competitors closed, Wal-Mart's prices rose.
That was my domestic Wal-Mart experience. I never thought that I would get to see a Wal-Mart in China, or factories that produced goods for Wal-Mart in China, but this summer I got to do just that.
The Wal-Mart I saw in China had several floors and sold goods as cheap as those one could find on the street. The workers wore their blue vests, and they looked as unhappy as many of their American counterparts.

The factories provided an even odder experience. I watched dozens upon dozens of Chinese youth, mostly women, toil away making headphones and toys. With all

the tiny bits, the brightly colored paint and the non-stop work of the employees, I felt as if I were in a miserable Santa's toy shop, except I am sure most of Santas elves would wear masks when dealing with paint fumes for hours a day, unlike the Chinese.
I spoke with a few Chinese college students and asked them if they felt that factory owners exploited workers like the ones I had seen. Their response was what I had expected. They believed factories in developing countries exploited their workers, but that they were forced to do so by large foreign corporations. Wal-Mart buys $18 billion worth of merchandise from China, according to wakeupwalmart. com, and if Wal-Mart were its own economy, it would do more trading with China than Canada, Russia, and Australia.
Even after reviewing the information and recollecting my experiences, domestic and abroad, I can still understand why people continue to shop at Wal-Mart. It's cheap; it's convenient; some are open 24 hours; and in some towns, Wal-Mart is the only retail option.
I commend the City for trying to fight the big, bad bully of a corporation, but we all know that Wal-Mart is going to win and that the little guy (everyone else) is going to lose. Wal-Mart promises that the new store will be aesthetically pleasing and that traffic will not be a problem, but I have a feeling that Wal-Mart is just telling the city what it wants to hear.
Lawrence does not need Wal-Mart Part Deux. I have accepted that a person can't beat Wal-Mart, but I cannot accept extraneous Wal-Marts. Students, buy your retail goods at Target or Wal-Mart on Iowa, and your cheap prescription drugs at Watkins Health Center. Save your gas money, and stay away from Wal-Mart at Sixth and Watakusa streets. They may bully their way into our town, but they can't bully their way into our wallets.
Lo is a Coffeyville senior in history.

Editorial misrepresents guaranteed tuition plan
The editorial on Friday had some problems with the numbers ("Guaranteed tuition plan unrealistic, needs revision").A freshman coming to the University being guaranteed a base tuition rate would pay the average of their next four years of tuition increases. So the first two years would be a higher rate and the second two lower, respectively.
For a student paying for their
fifth year, the increase would be the same inflationary rate and would be an increase over the average of the preceding four years. So, in the example of $208 per credit hour for four years, the fifth year would not be $265.
For the sake of argument, let's say fresh tuition is $100, going up $5 (not 5%) per year. Without a guaranteed base the second-year student would be paying $105, then
$110, then $115, then $120 for the fifth year, etc. But under a guaranteed base tuition, the freshmen would pay $107.50 for all four years. If that same student took a fifth year, it would still be $120, the same as if we had never been guaranteed a base rate for tuition.

The hateful actions of many Americans are responsible for my inability to marry a man. I would blame bigoted lawmakers and voters — not angry gay men — for the hate towards the LGBT community in America.
I agree with Campbell that responding to hate speech with threats and eggs merely lowers all involved to the level of the fool misinterpreting the Bible. I take issue with Campbell's statement that "some people hate queers" because of idiots who "act like vicious children." He asks, "You wonder why gay marriage is illegal?" and answers by telling those who protested the man on Wescoe Beach, "look in the mirror."
Campbell forgets that the LGBT community in this country has long faced a campaign of hatred. This comes not just from the religious right, but also from Americans who believe homosexuals are sexually perverse and should not be afforded fundamental rights. He seems to forget that there are people across this country who are not as vocal as the man on Wescoe Beach but who feel similarly.

CRIME
St. Louis named No.1 most dangerous city in U.S.
BY CHRISTOPHER LEONARD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS - Just days after the St. Louis Cardinals won the top honor in Major League Baseball, their hometown jumped to first place on a list no one wants to lead: the most dangerous cities in the United States.
This Midwestern city has long been in the upper tiers of the annual ranking of the nation's safest and most dangerous cities, compiled by
Morgan Quitno Press. Violent crime surged nearly 20 percent there this year, when the rate of such crimes rose much faster in the Midwest than in the rest of nation, according to FBI figures released in June.
The ranking, being released Monday, came as the city was still celebrating Friday's World Series victory at the new Busch Stadium. St. Louis has been spending millions of dollars on urban renewal even as the crime rate climbs.
Mavor Francis Slav did not return
calls seeking comment Sunday.
Scott Morgan, president of Morgan Quitno Press, a private research and publishing company specializing in state and city reference books, said he was not surprised to see St. Louis top the list, since it has been among the 10 most dangerous cities for years.
Morgan said the study looks at crime only within St. Louis city limits, with a population of about 330,000. It doesn't take into account the suburbs in St. Louis County,
which has roughly 980,000 residents.
The safest city in 2005 was Brick, N.J., population about 78,000, followed by Amherst, N.Y. and Mission Viejo, Calif. The second most dangerous city was Detroit, followed by Flint, Mich., and Compton, Calif.
The national FBI figures released in June showed the murder rate in St. Louis jumped 16 percent in 2005, compared with 4.8 percent nationally. The overall violent crime rate increased nearly 20 percent, compared with 2.5 percent nationally.
While crime increased in all regions last year, the 5.7 percent rise in the 12 Midwestern states was at least three times higher than any other region, according to the FBI.
Visiting St. Louis on Thursday, FBI director Robert Mueller said it was too early to tell why some types of crime were rising faster in the Midwest.
Mueller said the FBI is working harder to form partnerships with police departments to launch programs like St. Louis' Safe Streets task force, which focuses police efforts on problematic neighborhoods.
This year's ranking was good news for Camden, N.J., which in 2005 was named the most dangerous city for the second year in a row.
Camden Mayor Gwendolyn Faison said Sunday she was thrilled to learn that her city no longer topped the most-dangerous list.
"You made my day!" said Faison, who has served since 2000. "There's a new hope and a new spirit."

FIRE
California evacuees return home, firefighters continue to battle blaze
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brett Snow/ASSOCIATED PRESS
TWIN PINES, Calif. - While crews made progress on a wildfire that killed four firefighters, evacuees began returning to their homes
often to find nothing left.
Carol Hurley stood Saturday at the still-smoldering wreckage of a neighbor's house but was unable to bear the sight of what was left of her own lopsided home.
"I'm not ready to see it," said Hurley, 68. "I just want to remember it like it was."
Three of her children and a grandson dug through piles of concrete in search of jewelry and other valuables, but found little more than a blackened fork and knife and remnants of her china.
Nearby, other homes were burnt to the foundation.
"There's nothing left, just a couple of walls and rubble," said Oscar Pineiro, 52, who had returned to his home with his wife.
Fire officials said 34 homes and 29 other buildings have been destroyed in the fire that broke out early Thursday in uninhabited brushland about 90 miles east of Los Angeles.
Evacuation orders remained in effect for about 500 homes in Poppet
Flat and Twin Pines. Residents were allowed back in Saturday for several hours to retrieve personal items and feed or remove animals.
Meanwhile, firefighters launched an aggressive aerial attack on the 63-
square-mile conflagration as Santa Ana winds dissipated, and the mother of one of the firefighters killed in the blaze that authorities blamed on arsonists urged those who set it to turn themselves in.
Bonnie McKay, whose son Jason,
27, died Thursday. "Don't let the
remorse eat you alive. Come forward.
... I for one will try not to
judge you."
Fire crews took advantage of calm weather, using a fleet of helicopters and airplanes, including a DC-10 jumbo jet, to drop water and retardant on flames.
"I firmly believe you didn't believe that things were going to turn out the way they did, but they did," said
They expected to get an even bigger boost Sunday with temperatures forecast to drop into the 70s.
Scott McLean, spokesman for the California Department of Forestry, said the southeastern flank was threatening to spread to Black Mountain, a steep mountainous forest that would be difficult for firefighters to access.
Still, forestry officials worried about the fire spreading in one area.
Firefighters planned to focus on the south side of the fire Sunday to prevent any spread toward small communities including Soboba Hot Springs and San Jacinto.
The 40,450-acre blaze was 60 percent contained, three days after blowtorch gusts overran a U.S. Forest Service crew, killing four of its members and leaving a fifth clinging to life with burns over most of his body.
Firefighter Pablo Cerda, 23, was in critical condition late Saturday at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center after surgery Friday to remove damaged skin.
Investigators combed the area Saturday, looking for clues on how the fire engulfed the men so quickly. They also interviewed firefighters who were nearby when it happened.
The north side of the fire, paralleling Interstate 10, was considered well-contained. On the west flank, Highway 79 was reopened after firefighters stopped the fire's advance in that direction.
The fire was set at the base of a slope in the city of Cabazon. Residents say they saw two young men leaving the scene. Authorities declared the fire arson within hours of its start but have withheld details of any evidence they have.

Third quarterback's the charm for Kansas
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Call it a panic move. Or simply call it a move to save his team's season.
But whatever you call Mark Mangino's move to play freshman quarterback Todd Reesing Saturday against Colorado, make sure to call it successful.
For a guy who has continually vowed not to make changes because they show panic, Mangino reversed course against the Buffaloes. The fact that Reesing had never seen action in a collegiate game before didn't matter.
With his offense sputtering and his team's season on the verge of complete collapse, Mangino decided to go with "Sparky" Reesing was given the nickname by Mangino after identifying a call during a meeting last spring, which was called "spark."
He certainly earned his nickname Saturday, sparking Kansas to 20-15 comeback victory against Colorado.
"He's a little guy, but he delivers such big plays," senior running back Jon Cornish said. "He sparked our entire offense."
The move to Reesing did more than just
help Kansas end its four game losing streak.
It saved the team's season and bowl opportunities — for at least one more week.
Reesing started the second half for senior Adam Barmann, who was pulled because of his inability to move the offense. In the first two quarters, Kansas had just five first downs and only 90 yards of total offense. Meanwhile, Colorado had already built a 9-0 lead that seemed larger than it really was.
After Barmann's second interception, it appeared Mangino was ready to make the move he been contemplating for nearly a week. Mangino said he approached Reesing about playing in the coming weeks, on the trip back from last week's loss to Baylor.
Mangino again talked to Reesing about getting an opportunity to play after Barmann's second interception in the second quarter. Reesing said he was told to get ready to start in the second half.
"He just told me to relax and have fun," Reesing said. "So I just went in during halftime and got loose and ready to play. I didn't have any reservations."

During high school, Reesing was named the 4A player of the year in the state of Texas.
He becomes the 11th quarterback to play during Mark Mangino's five seasons as coach.
By playing Saturday, Reesing forfeited his redshirt, meaning that his eligibility starts this year.
Reesing graduated high school a semester early so he could enroll at the University of Kansas in time for spring football last year.

Texas is the home of Kansas' very own Todd Reesing, the "5-foot-10 and some change" true freshman quarterback who single-handedly saved a game, a season and possibly his coach's job — in one half of play.
The Austin, Texas, native did what no other quarterback outside of Brian Luke's improbable comeback against Iowa State last year has been able to do in a while — win a close zame.
But there's a reason Todd Reesing, shedding his redshirt nine games into the season — at halftime — was able to rally Kansas in a way that Kierer Meir or Adam Barmann have yet to do. The kids'a Texan.
High school football is a different beast all together in Texas. It's life. Movies and TV shows have been made about high school football in Texas, Sure, California
It's no secret who the best quarterbacks in the Big 12 are. Chase Daniel, Colt McCoy and Graham Harrell come to mind. Oh, and I forgot Shawn Bell and Stephen McGee, both of whom led comeback wins against Kansas. And you know the common thread they all share? Hailing from the Lone Star State.

and Florida are hotbeds for talent, but the aura that surrounds football in Texas is akin to the Holy Land in Jerusalem.
And with the intense love of football comes the intense pressure. And that's a reason big as Texas why kids from there make the transition to college football so smoothly. You think that coming back against a 1-7 Colorado team is the biggest feat that Reesing's ever dealt with before Saturday? Please.
He probably felt more butterflies preparing for Lake Travis High School's biggest rival than he did carving up the Colorado secondary last weekend.
And let's talk about that job Reesing did against the Colorado Buffaloes.

Buffaloes end Jayhawks' winning streak Kansas to get second opportunity when it meets Colorado in Big 12 tournament

Lacey Novak, senior midfielder/forward, scruggles with Colorado's Kelly Ross to gain control of the ball during the first half of the game Friday afternoon. Kansas lost 4-0, ending a four-game winning streak and closing out the regular season.
Just when Kansas' bad day seemed as though it was mercifully ending, Colorado forward Nikki Marshall found a way to worsen the disaster.
The freshman chased down a long pass from teammate Brittany Dornseif that bounced past Kansas sophomore goalkeeper Julie Hanley, who had come out of the box to try to stop the ball. Marshall controlled the ball and dribbled up to the net for an easy goal with 34 seconds left in the game.
Marshall's goal was the fourth allowed in the jayhawks' 4-0 loss Friday at the jayhawk Soccer Complex. It was Kansas worst loss since 2001.
"Our touch was off, our passes were off,"
Marshall, who finished with two goals and one assist, had the ball on the right side of the box and dribbled into the center. She used her left foot to kick a slow, rolling shot that appeared to be wide of the right side of the net.
The layhawks rolled into Friday's match on a four-game winning streak in which they had shut out all their opponents, but this string came to an end early in the game.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said, "We just didn't do a whole lot right."
Hanley barely went after the ball and just watched as Marshall's shot stayed straight enough to end up in the lower corner of the net. Marshall's goal in the 15th minute ended a 374-minute streak of holding opponents scoreless.
Francis said, "and when you give one up like that, it's a tough pill to swallow."
SEE SOCCER ON PAGE 8B
It was tough, but the goal was only the beginning of Kansas' unfortunate loss.
Senior midfielder Michelle Rasmussen fired a shot from 30 feet out toward the upper right corner of the net. Her shot hit the lower part of the crossbar, bounced against the ground and then deflected off the noo!heeper.
"We hadn't given up a goal in a while."
After allowing another score in the first half, the Jayhawks nearly cut into the Buffaloes' lead in the 54th minute.
Players from both teams stood still, thinking the ball went in, but the referee did not call a goal.

Chiefs defeat Seahawks despite blunders
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There is a way to hold onto the ball for two-thirds of the game, move it some 500 yards, get your best player in the end zone four times and still nearly lose the game.
Just ask the Kansas City Chiefs
At the end of their wild 35-28 victory Sunday over the depleted Seattle Seahawks, the Chiefs were feeling more lucky than good, more grateful than boastful.
"That goes to show you what happens in the National Football League," Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said, "when you miss opportunities and turn the ball over in the wrong area of the field and give up big plays."
Larry Johnson, Tony Gonzalez,
Damon Huard and Eddie Kennison
all had outstanding days for KC (
4-3), which went over .500 for the first
time all year. The Chiefs had 499
total yards to 240 for Seattle and 42
minutes, 15 seconds of possession time compared with Seattle's 17:45.
But outrageous mistakes let the Seahawks (4-3) score two unanswered touchdowns and grab a 28-27 lead with about six minutes left.
"We just made some silly mistakes, including myself," said Huard, who was a game-day decision because of a sore groin.
"When you've got a chance to jump on people, you've got to do it. And we didn't."
Larry Johnson had the biggest hand in preventing the Chiefs' self-destruction, rushing for 155 yards and scoring four touchdowns, three on the ground. He got the go-ahead score with 2:15 to play with a 3-yard run after Huard connected with Eddie Kennison on a 51-yard pass play.
"We made it hard on ourselves at the end, but came back and overcame some obstacles and put it away," Johnson said. "We gave them more chances than they needed."
Seneca Wallace, making his first
NEL start in place of injured Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, put Seattle on top 28-27 with a 49-yard TD pass to Darrell Jackson after cornerback Ty Law fell down. A few plays before that, Law dropped a sure interception.
Law said he just "triped over my own feet" on the touchdown pass, and would have had clear sailing to the end zone had he held onto the interception.
Late in the third period, Seattle's Kelly Herndon returned a fumble 61 yards for another touchdown when Kansas City holder Dustin Colquitt, after mishandling the snap on a field goal attempt, tried an ill-advised pass.
About half the team the Seahawks took to the last Super Bowl seemed either suspended, demoted or lame. Besides Hasselbeck the Seahawks were missing league MVP running back Shaun Alexander, wide receiver Bobby Engram and starting guard Floyd Womack, who were all injured.
In addition, starting right tackle Sean Locklear was suspended this week for violating NFL personal conduct policy; strong safety Michael Boulware, who had two interceptions during last season's playoff run, was bumped to the second team for poor play.
"It was a tough ball game. We battled our hearts out and came up a little short," said Seattle coach Mike Holmgren.
Gonzalez, the Chiefs' Pro Bowl tight end, caught six passes for 116 yards and Kennison had six receptions for 132. Huard, who has played well in place of the injured Trent Green, was 17-for-25 for 312 yards and one TD.
Lawrence Tynes hit two field goals for the Chiefs and Johnson, with a team-record 39 carries, scored on runs of 3, 2 and 3 yards in addition to his 9-yard TD catch.
"I don't know what's going on," said Herndon. "We've got to go back and look at the film and see what's going on."

Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne lead Colts' victory
Manning passed for 345 yards and three touchdowns — all to Wayne — and Adam Vinatieri kicked a 37-yard field goal with 2 seconds left Sunday to lift the Indianapolis Colts to a 34-31 victory over the baffled Broncos.
DENVER -- Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne picked, poked and plowed their way through a Denver defense that was designed specifically to stop them.
Wayne finished with 10 catches for 138 yards and did most of
his damage against defensive back Darrent Williams.
Indianapolis gained 437 yards to become the first team to start 7-0 in consecutive seasons since the 1929-31 Green Bay Packers did it three straight times.
Manning went 32-for-39 for 345 yards with a passer rating of 129.2. His counterpart, the much-maligned Jake Plummer, went 13-for-21 for 174 yards and a passer rating of 104.1 for the Broncos (5-2). Rookie backup running back Mike Bell had 136 yards rushing and two scores.

Junior cross country runner Colby Wissel leads the pack at the Big 12 Country Championships Friday at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence. Wissel won the 8k race with a time of 24:34.40.
Colby Wissel wins individual conference title
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
As junior Colby Wissel came down the Jim Ryun Skyline at Rim Rock Farm, he said to himself, "Here I am, I've got to go for it."
Wissel was a few steps behind Texas All-American senior Joe Thorne when he changed gears and blew by Thorne in the final 200 meters to become the Big 12 Champion.
Wissel finished the 8k race in 24:34.40.
"I wasn't sure I was going to win it until I crossed the line," Wissel said. "I had to go for it, and it just played into my hands today."
Wissel ran with the lead pack through the entire race and stayed patient to the end, a lesson he learned after the NCAA Pre-Nationals when he got out too fast and did not finish as well as he would have liked.
Junior Paul Hefferson placed forth with a time of 24:41.10.
Defending back-to-back champion Benson Chesang placed 12th, good for third on the team with a time of 24:57.10.
Chesang didn't have much to say after the race — he left to go to class, coach Stanley Redwine said.
He was absent as his name was called during the medals ceremony.
Seniors Matt French and Tyler
Kelly found out the top five runners for the lavwhaws.
French placed 33rd with a time of 25:40.70, and Kelly placed 34th with 25:42.60.

"Especially
wanted them to fight all the way through the finish and every one of them had a great race at the end."
Some runners took the fighting a little too seriously.
During the race an Oklahoma State runner hit a Colorado runner in the face and broke his nose.

R ace officials discussed the incident for a lengthy amount of time before concluding that the Oklahoma State runner would be
disqualified.
Kansas was tied for second with Texas, but because Texas had four more runners finish after the disqualified runner, and Kansas only had two, Texas was given the
advantage.
Hefferon stated after the race that he felt this was one of the more physical races he'd ever been a part of.
"The entire race people were jostling for position," he said. "That's all a part of the race. It's about having a competitive attitude and if you don't have that, you are not going to do well."
Colorado won the event for the 11th straight year. Texas came in second and Kansas placed third.
The Midwest Regional Championships will be next for the men in Minneapolis on Nov. 11th.

IT WAS OVER WHEN...
Time ran out after Colorado's pass down to the Kansas 22-yard line with one second remaining. An illegal forward pass penalty against Colorado was declined and time ran out, sealing the victory.
GAME BALL GOES TO.
Freshman quarterback Todd Reesing had his redshirt pulled at halftime and then came out and had quite a first game. Reesing was 7-for-11 passing for 106 yards with two touchdowns. But Reesing was more impressive on the ground, where he led the team in rushing, with 90 yards on seven carries.
The offense under quarterback Adam Barmann in the first half was ineffective. The Jayhawks had just five first downs and only 90 yards of total offense.
GAME TO FORGET...
STAT OF THE GAME...
Running back Jon Cornish finished the game with only 80 rushing yards, but broke the 1,000 yard mark on the season. He now has 1,041 yards on the season, becoming the first Kansas rusher in 10 years to run for at least 1,000.

Cornish passes 1,000-yard mark
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
It took longer than expected, but Jon Cornish broke the 1,000 yard mark for the season Saturday.
The senior running back entered the game needing just 39 yards to become the ninth Kansas rusher to run for at least 1,000 yards in a single season and the first since June Henley in 1996.
"It's self-fulfilling," Cornish said of breaking the 1,000 yard mark. "I'm satisfied."
Based on his average, Cornish was expected to reach the mark on his sixth carry. That didn't
Instead, on his sixth carry, Cornish had 18 yards left to go. He didn't cross the 1,000 yard mark until the middle of the third quarter, when he broke a run down the left side of the field for a 14-yard gain.
turn out to be the case.
Cornish had 80 yards on the day,
and he had to work hard for every one of them. Colorado consistently put seven or eight defenders at the line of scrimmage to try and stop the Big 12 Conference's leading rusher. The plan worked and Cornish was held to his second-lowest rushing total of the season.

Cornish's 1,041 yards currently ranks 11th on Kansas' all-time single-season rushing list. The record

Talib deserves praise
Cornerback one interception away from conference lead
BY SHAWN SHROYER
When Agib Talib did something big on Saturday, he made sure people knew.
On the field, he celebrated interceptions and pass breakups with mock jump shots. While fielding questions from the media, he clutched the defensive game ball hed received for all to see.
Although the Kansas defense played its best game of the season, Talib stole the show, nearly single-handedly shutting down the Colorado offense.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said the victory would allow Talib to finally get the credit he deserved.
"Because we've given up some passes in our secondary, his outstanding play has been overshadowed in recent weeks," Mangino said. "He played fantastic."
Talib finished the game with a pair of pass breakups and interceptions, increasing his conference-leading total in pass breakups to 14 and moving to within one interception off the conference lead. Why Colorado challenged Talib so frequently is a mystery, but the sophomore cornerback didn't have any complaints.
"I was surprised, but I wasn't mad." Tail said.
For his efforts, Talib was rewarded with the defensive game ball, which was his first as a Jayhawk. The honor was a long time coming for Talib, as was the performance by the Kansas
Senior strong safety Jerome Kemp led all Jayhawks with 11 tackles and two tackles for losses. Seven other Jayhawks recorded tackles behind the line, three defensive linemen had sacks and four players other than Talib deflected passes.
defense. For the first time in weeks, the Jayhawks operated as a cohesive unit on defense.
In Colorado's four trips to the red zone, Kansas held it to three field goals. Until Colorado's 61-yard pass on the last play of the game, the Buffaloes had only 83 passing yards.
"We were banging on all cylinders," Kemp said. "As far as the secondary goes, we are at the point where we want to be."
But most importantly — and for the first time all season — the Kansas defense didn't allow a touchdown.
"Hey, you can't ask for much more than that, right?" Talb said.
Talib said the performance of the secondary was a result of the players watching more film, having more meetings with their coaches and simply maturing towards the end of the season.
The secondary also received a lift from different situational formations and yet another new face.
When the Buffaloes were in situations where they were most likely to pass, the jayhawks took out one of their three linebackers and put in a fifth defensive back. And whom did Kansas bring in to play the fifth defensive back position? None other than Dominic Roux, senior, who
was playing wide receiver just two weeks ago.
"We just felt like we were playing with two corners the whole game, and one of them is a freshman, and we just couldn't go on like that," Mangino said. "We approached Dominic, he jumped on it. He said, 'All I want to do is play.'"
Talib said he was glad to have Roux in the mix in the secondary.
"He's a bell of an athlete and he needed to be on the field," Talib said. "We have a lot of good wide outs, so he wasn't on the field that much. I guess he made a transition for the best."
Mangino said one thing he noticed about his defense Saturday was that it seemed to have the same "swagger" to it that his more veteran defenses had in recent years. However, Kansas fans shouldn't expect the Jayhawk defense to be content with one good weekend.
Talib wasn't even satisfied with his virtually flawless performance. Instead, he was upset with himself for dropping an interception that he likely would have returned for a touchdown.
"I missed that one, so I had to get that one back," Talib said. "I didn't get the six back, so I'm still mad about that one."

40 yards into the end zone to Jeff Foster. Foster didn't catch it, but an obvious pass interference was called and on the very next play Reesing hit Cornish with a screen that went for six points.
There was a certain sense of "what the hell is Mangino doing" versus "please let this kid be legit" swirling above Kivisto Field when the youngster entered the game. Yeah, his first possession wasn't the stuff legends are made of, but the job he did for the rest of the game was
After the Foster throw, Reeing looked toward the end zone, saw the penalty call, and pumped his fist as if to say, okay, now we're rolling. And rolling he was.
To start the third drive of his KU career, Reesing threw a gorgeous play-action pass to another true freshman, Jake Sharp, good for 42 yards and a play that started the Jayhawks' comeback in earnest. But it was three plays later, when Reesing dropped back, felt the pocket collapse, calmly stepped up and threw an absolute strike
The poise Reesing showed on Saturday is something Kerry Meier knows faintly and Adam Barmann's only heard about. The way the offense ran after Reesing got going was the finest I've ever seen this offense — and that includes the Nebraska game this year.
Reeing gives this team something it's sorely lacked — a playmaker at quarterback. I know we've
all hyped up Meier and wanted so badly for him to be the man. But all we've gotten out of the blond-locked Kansan is a couple of ugly wins against bad teams and a shoulder problem that leaves me wondering if he's a bigger version of Dylan.
Mark Mangino knew he had something in Todd Reesing, but I'm not sure he knew just how special the kid actually was. Forget the kid's height. He's got moxie, he's got a big arm, and most importantly, he's got big-play ability. And when it comes to big-play ability, everything is bigger in Texas.

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Despite being listed at only 5-foot-11, Reesing certainly proved he belonged.
After an interception on the second pass of his career, Reesing seemed to get into a rhythm on the team's third drive.
I wanted to be in there."
He hooked up with fellow freshman Jake Sharp for 42-yard completion. Sharp lined up in the backfield, then split out wide, making the catch in front of the Colorado sideline and running down to the 34-vard line.
"We worked that play all week and knew it would be good for us. We knew we were going to start clicking from there on up."
That completion, the longest of the day for Reeing, set up the first three consecutive scoring drives.
Reesing finished with three touchdowns — two through the air and another on the ground.
Kansas now just needs two more victories in its final three games to become bowl-eligible for the second straight season. The road back to a bowl game won't be easy, with two of those final three coming on the road, where the Jayhawks have lost seven straight.
The difference with Reesing in the game was that Kansas was able to go back to the quarterback run game that had been so successful with Meier. In fact, it worked so well
in the second half that Reese finished the day with 90 yards and was the team's leading rush.
"A lot of people overlooked him because they thought he won't call enough." Mangino said. "That's our benefit — that's our gain. We don't care what kids look like or how tall they are. We care if they can play. He has the ability, no question."
"Bumps and bruises don't hurt as much when you're having success," Mangino said. "The food in the cafeteria all of a sudden tastes like you're at a fine, French restaurant. Everything improves when you win."
None of that mattered Saturday, though.

Kansas defensive players celebrate their ability to hold the Colorado offense from a first down. The Jayhawks gained possession after the close call was confirmed by a chain measurement.
UP OR DOWN
>
Now that freshman Todd Reeing has proven himself, Mark Mangino will have to decide which quarterback to give playing time to. If Kerry Meier is 100 percent healthy next Saturday do Reeing's minutes go down to make room for the proven quarterback or head up because of his play on Saturday?
There is no question that if healthy, Meier needs all the minutes he can get to gain experience. Obviously Reeing is a quality quarterback who deserves to be on the field at some point, but for now Meier deserves the minutes. It might be tough for Reeing to find a way for Meier to get experience but Kansas fans can think of 1.5 million reasons why Mangino should be able to fit the problem into.
Daniel C. Werseldorfer
Reeing gave the offense a solid finish but like any it has given all season this ability to maintain those out of routs so well time behind him to be better than his teammates and though only recently what the team managed was weak against them. That doesn't matter, it still there are moments when he needs the stars to show us what he does on the court.
Kaywha Sausuf
Every week it back at full strength by next Saturday Reeing's power manner enabled him to outperform his former coach by winning nine. After all each Mangino Shoe to pull Reeing's stride while the quarterback position with him made him win five games, the quarterback position with him not only increasing his success but also helping should be needed, particularly in the Mangino's quick touch to the throw having two stump tested and capable young quarterbacks.
Asher Fusco
Both Reeing and Meier spread the defense with their running ability, but Meier gets the nod because he's the more experienced of the two. Its comforting to know, however, that if he fattens Reeing will be ready to take over and lead the offense.
Jack Connor
It is hard to tell if Reeing what kind or Colorado what had but after playing the way he did on Saturday he Preserves a day to prove hes the resident of single-handedly brought to Arnold and the rest of his team back from the depth as soon as he stepped ashore. With much hard as Good Mangino this takes him on the first round by building up the best team that could be seasons fast and make the change necessary to take over the lady.

Errors costly as Kansas falls in five games to Texas Tech
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team's quest for its fourth straight NCAA tournament appearance took a blow when it lost to Texas Tech Saturday night in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The Jayhawks lost a five-game match 30-27, 28-30, 30-22, 28-30 and 9-15. Kansas committed 37 hitting errors on the night, which gave Tech the advantage.
"We are at the point in the season where execution is more important than effort," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "You can try as hard as you want, but you have got to make the plays."
The Jayhawks' postseason dreams are fading because the team will need to win five of its final seven matches to qualify for the tournament. Kansas has yet to win a road conference match this season and four of its next
seven matches are on the road.
"I challenged this team," Bechard said. "What is November going to be like? Because you need to forget talking about the NCAA tournament, forget talking about this, we just need to worry about becoming a better team."
Jamie Mathewson, senior libero,
knows that a lot can change in the
last month.
"There are a lot of games left, even though it doesn't feel like it," she said. "We only have a couple of home opportunities left and that is where we have to win."
In the first game, Kansas took its first lead, 18-17, after a six-point unanswered run. The Jayhawks never trailed again, defeating the Red Raiders by three.
Kansas kept game two close before Tech pulled away late, winning by two. The Jayhawks had 10 errors but the Red Raiders had just five.
The jayhawks came out strong in game three, winning by eight. Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, led Kansas with six kills in the game.
Noyes said the team passed really well, which helped her to a teamhigh 23 kills in the match.
Kansas could not close the door on Tech in game four. Tied at 25, the Red Raiders outscored the Jahwakes 5-3 to send the match to a fifth game. Tech outside hitter Philister Sang had 10 kills in the game.
"She seemed to get better as the night went on," Bechard said. "She was an All-Big 12 player last year, and she showed it tonight."
Texas Tech went on an eight-point unanswered run to take the lead in the final game 10-4. The Jayhawks rallied too late and the Red Raiders took the final game by six.

Sophomore middle blocker Savannah Noyes returns a hit from the Red Raiders Saturday night at the Horeisi Family Athletic Center. Noyes matched the match with 23 kills.
Kansas lost in five games to Texas Tech on Saturday night, but the night was devoted to more than just a volleyball game.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Jayhawk volleyball team showed its support for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation by participating in "Dig for the Cure."
Assistant coach Christi Posey played a large roll in Kansas' participating in "Dig for the Cure." She said that while the outcome of the game wasn't what Kansas had hoped for, the opportunity to raise money for a good cause was a welcomed opportunity.
"We certainly value community service," Posey said. "And we thought
this was a great way for us to help."
Though Kansas lost the match by scores of 30-27, 28-30, 30-22, 28-30, 9-15, the Jawhays recorded 89 digs.
Senior libero Jamie Mathewson led the Jayhawk defensive attack with 23 digs. Senior outside hitter Jana Correa contributed 22 digs and junior right side hitter Emily Brown had 17. All three players were just one dig short of tying their career high, and each of them made several diving attempts to keep Kansas rallies alive.
Coach Ray Bechard was disappointed by the outcome, but he was pleased with Matthewson's effort.
"I thought she was great defensively," Bechard said. "I think she exemplifies what you want in a libero."
While Matthewson spent much of
her Saturday night running around the court, Posey said for the past couple weeks the volleyball team had been actively seeking pledges and donations from members of the community.
"I thought our kids really went with it in getting pledges," Posey said. "I think our kids feel good about the project and how they helped."
To further show their support, the volleyball team wore pink ribbons in their hair during the game. Pink ribbons were handed out to fans, and pink Kansas T-shirts were thrown out to fans every time Kansas had a serving ace. The team had seven serving aces in the game.
One fan who was lucky enough to win a free pink T-shirt was Sean Allhouse, Lenexa sophomore. He won his shirt at the fan serve between
games two and three, Allshouse and his friends have been regulars at volleyball matches this season and usually wore blue shirts or painted themselves blue.
To show their support Saturday, Allhouse and friends got creative. They painted themselves pink and spelled out the word "ljywahws" in blue lettering across their chests.
"None of us had any pink T-shirts," he said. "This was the easiest way to do it. And it was for a better cause."
The amount of money raised was not available this weekend.

If a more overrated team than Texas exists, that team has yet to show itself. Nevertheless, Texas has Forrest Gump-ed its way to seven straight victories, and with No. 3 USC losing on Saturday, the Longhorns will ascend the rankings.
Texas allowed Texas Tech to jump out to a 21-0 lead after the first quarter, but the wheels fell off the Red Raider offense after halftime.
For the fourth time this season, Texas Tech failed to score in the third quarter. Those struggles carried into the fourth quarter as the Red Raiders were shut out in the second half for the second time this season.
No. 19 Oklahoma (6-2, 3-1) - 26
No. 23 Missouri (7-2, 3-2) - 10
With the opportunity to give the Big 12 North a quality win against a top South opponent, Missouri choked. After the first 11 minutes, the Tigers didn't even make the game
competitive.
Missouri led 3-0 when its offense took the field for its second drive of the game. The Tigers came out passing and tight end Chase Coffman found himself all alone in the Sooner secondary. However, quarterback Chase Daniel overthrew him by merely inches, preventing the certain touchdown.
Oklahoma forced a turnover the next play, scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive, and that was all she wrote for Missouri.
Oklahoma quarterback Paul Thompson was adequate. He completed 11 of 19 passes for 127 yards and two touchdowns adding 28 rushing yards and another touchdown. In his second game as the Sooners' starting running back, Allen Patrick continued to exceed expectations, rushing for 162 yards on 36 carries.
No. 20 Nebraska (6-3, 2-1) -- 29
Oklahoma State (5-3, 2-2) -- 41
Considering Nebraska had just lost a heartbreaker to Texas, it's safe to say the Cornhuskers overlooked
the Cowboys. Nebraska coughed up a 16-0 lead in the first half and was outscored 21-6 in the fourth quarter by Oklahoma State.
Nebraska, which entered Saturday ranked third in the Big 12 and 26th in the nation in rush defense, could not contain Oklahoma State's attack. Cowboy running back Dantrell Savage racked up 117 rushing yards and two touchdowns while his teammates combined for 150 more rushing yards and a touchdown.
No. 22 Texas A&M (8-1, 4-1) - 31
Bavior (4-5, 3-2) - 21
A week after scoring 19 points in the fourth quarter against Kansas, Baylor's second half woes returned. For the fourth time this season, Baylor failed to score in the fourth quarter. It was also the fourth time this season the Bears scored seven points or less in the second half.
The victory gives Texas A&M its first 8-1 start since the 1998 season. Just as they have all season, the Aggies won with a balanced offense, rushing for 292 yards and passing for
215, maintaining their 200/200 per game average.
Iowa State (3-6,0-5)-10
Kansas State (5-4, 2-3)-31
Just when things seemed as if they couldn't get any worse for the Cyclones, they did. Iowa State has now lost four consecutive games and six of its last seven.
Proving their incompetence on Saturday, the Cyclones couldn't even shut down Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman. In Freeman's five games leading up to Iowa State, he completed only 52 of 124 passes — 41.9 completion percentage — and three seven interceptions while being sacked 13 times. But the Cyclones allowed him to complete 14 of 20 passes — 70 completion percentage — for 161 yards and a touchdown and only sacked him twice.

VOLUNTEERISM
Program needs Big Brothers
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County has 300 volunteers, but that still leaves 220 area children on the waiting list for a mentor.
Administrators of the program said they hoped more KU students would volunteer in order to fulfill the needs of those on the waiting list.
"We're always looking to get more KU students involved," said Becki Stutz, director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County.
The program's office estimated that slightly more than half of its volunteers were KU students. Colin Elwell, Big Brothers Big Sisters recruiting assistant and 2006 KU graduate, said college students were particularly suited to mentor the program's children.
"A lot of them, I think, want to be matched to a college-aged kid," Elwell said.
But right now the children just hope to be matched to anybody at all. Two-thirds of the children on the waiting list are boys, and Elwell said boys waited an average of nine months to be matched.
Elwell said students could volunteer for two programs. The community-based program is the traditional program that matches a volunteer to a child for three to four hours per week after school. Another option is the "Bigs in School" program, which sends the volunteer to the child's
school and only requires 30 minutes to one hour each week.
"More students choose that program just because of the time flexibility it has," Elwell said.
Shawn Geiss, Ransom junior, has volunteered for Big Brothers Big Sisters. He said his experience with the program helped to give him new perspectives.
"I never had any brothers or sisters, so it was a chance to interact with younger children," Geiss said. "It was just different because I grew up in western Kansas in a rural area and my 'little brother' was from Lawrence, so it was good to see how kids from different places grow up."
Geiss said that the program wasn't time consuming and that he would recommend it to students looking to get involved in the community.
The program holds informational meetings every Tuesday at 5:15 p.m. and Wednesday at noon in the program's office, 1525 W. 6th St., Suite A. Prospective volunteers are required to attend a meeting before submitting an application.
More information about Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County can be found at the program's Web site, www.mentoringmagic.org.

Change of season slows construction
Resurfacing work on Kasold Drive has stayed on schedule, Patterson said. Traffic switched to the east side of the street last weekend. Traffic is still limited to two lanes both north and south.
Lisa Patterson, city communications manager, said the work wasn't full-blown construction but was normal maintenance.
'Tis the season for scary stories
City maintenance crews are expected to begin maintenance work Wednesday on Bob Billings Parkway between Iowa Street and Kasold Drive. Traffic will be restricted to one lane in sections during the workday.
Street construction across Lawrence has begun to taper off, but work hasn't stopped quite yet.
Construction along west Eighth Street has been completed, but several short-term street alterations are expected to continue west of Iowa Street.

odd news Suzanne Dias times two run for school board
FRESNO, Calif. — Voters In the tiny American Union Elementary School District may think they're seeing double when they go to the polls next month.
When they get to the candidates running for school board on Nov.7, they'll find Suzanne Dias and Suzanne Dias.
Bowling with pumpkins
That's Suzanne Dias, 50, a school food service manager, and Suzanne Dias, 36, a housewife.
The two women are among six candidates running for three school board seats in the rural Fresno County district, which has one school with about 350 students.
Workers at the county elections office said they can't recall a time when two candidates with the same name ran for the same office.
"It's rare and clearly it would tend to confuse the voters," said County Clerk Victor Salazar.
Voters will see some differences between the two candidates.
The elder Dias will be listed on the ballot as Susanne Hodoian Dias. She added her maiden name after learning that the other Suzanne Dias was also running.
The two will also be distinguished by their occupations, which will be listed below their names on the ballot.
Another candidate, Brett Mosekian, calls the situation "kind of peculiar," but he doubts voters will have much trouble picking one candidate from the other because everyone in the district pretty much knows everyone else.
The district only has 893 registered voters.
Neighbors use trailers to preempt hog feedlot
ANSLEY, Neb. — LeRoyce and Cynthia Margritz don't want a hog feedlot close to their home, so they and a neighbor used a Custer County zoning law to their benefit and took out housing permits to put in two makeshift trailers near the proposed site.
The Margritzes, who began ranching and growing crops on their 1,360 acres eight years ago, said they acted after hearing rumors of a 6,000-head hog feedlot going in about a mile from their house.
After confirming the rumors, they and the neighbor started planning to put in the trailers a quarter-mile from the proposed feedlot. The move pre-empted R.J. Thomas' county permit application to build the feedlot.
Thomas, a farmer, said the Margritzes' move was a bad-faith effort to exploit zoning laws.
"They're not places where people might actually live," Thomas said of the trailers. "It's just a ploy to stop the permit."
While acknowledging that they were trying to block Thomas' proposed feedlot, they said it was their only legal recourse because they did not have an opportunity to challenge its construction.
BELOIT, Wis. — More than 200 people attended a symbolic funeral to lay to rest the offensive
Wisconsin residents hold funeral for offensive word
term for blacks: the n-word.
"I didn't know it was possible to be happy to go to a funeral," said Milele Chikasa Anana, publisher of Umoja magazine in Madison. "Hallelujah! I am delighted that we are having a funeral!"
The Oct. 21 funeral was part of an event organized by the Black Star Project of Beloit, which was recently formed to pursue educational and job opportunities for blacks in Beloit and strengthen spiritual growth for families.
Before the funeral at New Zion Baptist Church, there was a ceremony at Bethel AME Church and a rally at Merrill Elementary School.
The N-word's coffin was buried at East Lawn Cemetery, along with other hateful words that attendees wished to bury.
Wanda Sloan, a member of the Black Star Project and one of the funeral's organizers, said she is bothered that some in what she called the hip-hop generation use the word as a term of endearment.
"It's disturbing because it shows that the educational system is still being negligent at teaching African-American children and majority children about the true history," Sloan said.

Councilman dons chicken costume at city meeting
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Steve Volan drew guffaws and cackles when he walked into City Council meeting dressed in a yellow chicken costume.
The councilman's outfit led to a string of jokes before the serious business of debating whether chicken-keeping within city limits should be allowed got under way.
The word "chicken" was uttered more than 200 times and council member David Sabbagh jokingly asked whether three unrelated birds would be allowed to co-roost — a reference to a city ordinance restricting the number of unrelated adults allowed in single-family homes.
During Wednesday's discussion, 21 audience members spoke in favor of allowing residents to raise egg-laying chickens and four spoke against the ordinance. Volan joined the 5-1 council majority in voting to recommend the ordinance for final approval.
Opponents of chicken-keeping said they fear that neighbors with chickens would impact property values, and threaten the public health.
Supporters said that when people grow their own food and raise their own chickens, they actually contribute to public health since store-bought eggs can be unhealthy.

Study advocates video games as teaching tool
Researchers: To adapt to societal changes, educators should introduce new methods into the classroom.
Photo Illustration by Ryan McGeeney/KANSAI
Based on the results of a recent study about the use of educational video games, the Federation of American Scientists is advocating investment of public funds toward the development of games and their uses in classrooms. The study cites such attributes as the personalization of learning, imparting motivation and learning to overcome failure as reasons to incorporate video games into the U.S. educational system.
BY KIM LYNCH
Imagine spending class time playing a video game and being praised for it. The Federation of American Scientists hopes to make this a reality.
The federation released a study this month advocating public investment in researching and developing educational video games for use in the classroom.
According to the study, there are several attributes of video games that could be useful for student learning, such as the personalization of learning, motivation to keep going even after failure and infinite patience on the part of the video game.
The study said the U.S. education system needed to take advantage of new technologies like educational video games to help students learn.
Mike Neal, assistant dean for the School of Education, said he could foresee educational video games being used in a wide range of classes, from social studies to nutrition.
Video games in classrooms should only be used to enhance the student's
Neal said he thought faculty members at the University of Kansas would be open to using educational video games in the classroom if they saw the educational value in the games.
Kathleen Murray, Overland Park sophomore, said she would take a class that used video games because she would be interested to see how the teacher would incorporate educational video games into the learning environment.
learning,he said.
Brian Drake, lecturer with the Humanities and Western Civilization department, said that Western Civilization was a complicated topic and that he didn't think it could be taught with a video game.
However, if a video game was developed that accurately illustrated some of the themes in Western Civilization, Drake said that he would use it because students learned in different ways and that it could be helpful for some.
The study said more research was needed in order to reduce developmental costs and to assess the knowledge students acquired, and to create
an effective product that helped students learn.
Susan Zvacek, director of instructional development and support, said games were motivational and encouraged the player to keep on playing, which was an advantage. At its core, a good game is a learning experience because the user employs skills learned throughout the course of the game in order to advance.
Zvacke said the main problems with using educational video games were figuring out exactly what the student was learning and keeping development costs down.
Heather Bratton, De Soto sophomore, said if a class was offered that incorporated educational video games into the lesson, she probably wouldn't take it because she didn't play video games and probably wouldn't do well in the class.

Student group holds event to commemorate the dead
The KU Wiccan Pagan Alliance will celebrate a holiday Saturday when'the distance between the living and dead worlds is at its thinnest'
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Ghosts and the dead will be a fixture for one KU student group this week, but for celebration rather than for spooky stories.
The Wiccan Pagan Alliance will celebrate the Wiccan holiday of Samhain this Saturday. The holiday is celebrated annually on or about Halloween in remembrance of those who have died.
Rebecca Kershner, WPA member and Overland Park junior, said Samhain was believed to be the day when the dead were able to pass into the living world to communicate.
"Samhain is a celebration of the turning of the year, so technically this is our 'New Year,'" Kershner said.
It is the time when the distance between the living world and the dead is at its thinnest, she said, which allowed the dead to join the living for celebrations.
Samhain is one of eight holidays in the Wiccan religion, Kershnner said. The holiday is held between the fall equinox and solstice.
"Since Sanhain is the night when the doorway between this world and the next is at its thinnest, there have always been those opportune spirits who come forth to cause mischief," she said.
People originally wore masks to scare away bad spirits in their villages and to keep their homes safe from
mischief and evil. Kershner said. As time progressed, children assumed the role of dressing up, which developed into the holiday of Halloween.
"It became more of a festival than a necessity to drive away malicious spirits," she said.
Sean Manning, WPA president and Overland Park senior, said the group held a "dumb feast" dinner every year to celebrate the members loved ones who had passed away.
Manning said that the meal was
held in silence and that participants in the dinner would leave food for the dead to show their dead loved ones that they were still a part of their lives.
Though the holiday was intended to be inviting to the dead, Manning said participants didn't normally try to communicate supernaturally with those who had passed on.
"It is more about commemoration than communication," Manning said. "Most of what we're doing has
to do with remembering."
Manning said the dinner was only open to WPA members, but that the organization invited anyone to attend its weekly open-door meeting at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Alcove A of the Kansas Union.

SPEED REDUCTION
Ryan McGeeney/KANSAN
Dean Davis of Lawrence positions traffic cones to block off a section of Kasold Street near the intersection at 22nd Street. The city of Lawrence contracted with Johnson Excavating, who employs Davis, to partially level Kasold, lowering its peaks and building up the lower portions. With work on the eastern, north-bound lanes complete, demolition and construction will soon begin on the western, south-bound lanes between Bob Billings Parkway and 22nd Street. The project began in May of this year and is slated for completion in October of 2007. Davis said.
TRAFFIC (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Construction crews will also begin work on a retaining wall along the west side of Kasold. Gorman said that crews would be able to begin work on the wall, but that dirt and pavement work would have to end before inclement weather began.
Work to rebuild the west lanes will begin shortly.
Terese Gorman, city engineer, said the city anticipated the work to be completed sometime during the fall of 2007. Construction will not come to a complete standstill during the winter months, she said.
Patterson said project timelines depended on the weather.
"It's unrealistic to think we can continue when the temperature begins to dip below zero," she said.
GHOSTS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The decrease in construction has lessened the effects the Lawrence Public Transit system felt this summer, allowing the T more freedom of movement.
"There's a room on the third floor," Katelman said. "That's supposed to be where she died."
"A lot of us have experienced things while we're in the sleeping dorms," Katelman said.
Haunting in Lawrence isn't limited to campus.
Cliff Galante, public transit administrator, said since the beginning of fall, transit officials have had to alter fewer routes to adjust because the majority of construction took place during late spring and summer.
Some say the governor's wife killed Virginia. Others say the young woman committed suicide. Her ashes are supposedly hidden behind a fireplace in the mansion.
The New England Society for Psychic Research sent Ed and Lorraine Warren, two experts in paranormal investigation, to study the house in October of 1999, according to a local group that investigates the paranormal.
The Warrens conducted their investigation and determined there was a good chance the house was haunted.

Room 506 of the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., is said to be a portal to the spirit world. With mirrors that fog up after just being cleaned, doors that open and shut on their own and lights that turn on and off by themselves, it has earned its reputation.
Outside of town. Stull Cemetery draws so many people that the Douglas County Sheriff's department sets up a watch on Halloween to prevent visitors from disobeying the "No Trespassing" signs.
Guests have reported cold spots throughout the hotel. Some have even encountered an apparition, a ghostlike image, on the fifth floor. There is even a picture of a ghostly shadow, presumed to be the "elevator鬼" who opens and closes the elevator doors.
Lt. Kari Wempe of the Douglas County Sheriff's department said patrols were increased during the weekend and that officers would be waiting for anyone who planned to stop by Oct. 31.
Kansan staff writer Ben Smith can be contacted at bsmith@kansan. com.
Wempe, who has been with the Sheriff's Department for 31 years, said to her knowledge Satan had never been among the visitors who had been arrested for criminal trespass.

Sebelius garners contributions
BY JOHN MILBURN ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius set a new mark for Kansas gubernatorial politics, raising more than $5.18 million in contributions for her re-election bid, the campaign reported Monday.
She raised four times as much money as her Republican challenger, Sen. Jim Barnett of Emporia, who raised $1.19 million through the reporting period ending Thursday.
Former State Treasurer Tim Shallenburger raised $2.37 million when he faced Sebelius in 2002, she won that race with 53 percent of the vote over Shallenburger, the current GOP state chairman.
"Governor Sebelius is humbled by the support of the people of Kansas and those who share her commitment to growing our economy, strengthening our schools and moving Kansas forward," said Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole
Corcoran. "She's grateful for the thoughts, prayers and financial support from those who share her commitment and want her to serve four more years as governor."
Sebelius had more than $183,000 left to spend a week before the election. Since July 21, she raised more than $2.17 million.
Christian Morgan, Barnett's campaign manager, said 80 percent of the Republican's funds came from within Kansas.
Barnett had $88,039 remaining to spend, but Morgan said the campaign already had purchased broadcast time to air ads leading up to the election.
"We're extremely happy with that number. It's coming from all areas of the state," Morgan said. "Considering that Senator Barnett has been raising money for 11 months, we're pretty happy with that."

Brownlee, R-Olathe, and Merrick, R-Stilwell, said the governor has other transportation options for personal and political events. They noted her trips to Ohio for fundraising, football games featuring Kansas teams, the NCAA basketball tournament, an October Rolling Stones concert and her vacation home in Michigan.
Corcoran said the state plane picked up Sebelius twice in
Highway Patrol asked Sebelius to do so because of "continued threat to commercial aviation" and the "ability to restrict exposure to danger."
"If it's personal or political in nature, those costs are
reimbursed, even though the statute passed by the Legislature does not require her to do so," Corcoran said.
The legislators questioned whether an agency under the governor's supervision would offer an unbiased opinion. They held their news conference eight days before the Nov.7 election.
"The timing means nothing, as far as I'm concerned," Merrick said. "We think we need to go back and review the bill and put some accountability in for the taxpayers of the state."
Democrats were quick to point out that the Kansas Highway Patrol's request came under a 2001 law passed in response to Missouri Gov. Mel Carnahan's death in a plane crash just before the 2000 election. Barnett and Wagle voted for the legislation, as did Merrick, but Brownlee opposed it.

Kline faces consumer protection complaints
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A top deputy is defending Attorney General Phill Kline's record on consumer protection, saying a decline in complaints filed and restitution reflect a change in philosophy away from harassing businesses and a "nanny state."
However, the director of the Consumer Protection Division under Carla Stovall Steckline, former attorney general, said Monday the division's latest report shows Kline isn't committed to helping consumers who feel they've been cheated.
Consumer protection is an issue as Kline, a Republican, seeks a second term against Democratic challenger Paul Morrison, the Johnson County district attorney. Steckline, a Republican and Kline's predecessor, endorsed Morrison earlier this month, citing what she called a lessening of consumer protection activities.
Amid the debate Monday, Kline consumer protection director Bryan Brown issued the division's annual report for fiscal year 2005, which ended June 30 of that year. In an unusual move, he included a 33-page memo discussing the division's change in philosophy, saying reforms had "remedied state action often accused of overreach due to a seeming antibusiness bias."
"This jurisdictional check upon the power of the 'nanny state' was nonexistent in the Consumer Protection Division in the years prior to the reforms," Brown wrote. "Many Kansas businesses have rather humorous stories to tell about the spurious nature of complaints received from the Consumer Protection Division prior to our reorganization."
The division reported almost $541,000 in consumer savings from its efforts in fiscal 2005, and $381,000 more in restitution awarded to consumers, adding up to $922,000.
But the combined total was lower than any during Stovall's eight-year tenure, which saw restitution average almost $3.2 million each fiscal year. Also, the number of complaints filed by consumers dropped from a high of 8,585 in fiscal 2000 to 4,308 in fiscal 2005.
"Mr. Kline doesn't believe in consumer protection," said Steve Rarrick, who led the division under Steckline. "I don't believe that laws passed by the Legislature with regard to consumer protection are laws that the attorney general can just ignore."
Morrison's criticism of Kline and
a contentious and sometimes bitter campaign that has featured attack ads on both sides.
That led the Lawrence Journal-World to endorse neither candi-
broad support across party lines and across the state," he said. "It shows that Kansans are tired of Phill Kline's bad judgment and wrong priorities."
"Mr. Kline doesn't believe in consumer protection."
But Kline spokeswoman Sherriene Jones said Kansans already knew of Kline's record on criminal justice and other issues, while Morrison needed to build his name recognition.
date, saying in a Sunday editorial: "Unfortunately, it's hard to scrape through all the mud being slung to get to basics. Wipe off the candidate you prefer and mark your ballot for him."
Kline collected $1.1 million in contributions from the beginning of 2005 through Oct. 26, according to reports filed by his campaign with the secretary of state's office. That normally would have been a record for an attorney general's race.
"Mr. Morrison was virtually unknown to the entire state except for the Kansas City area and a few pockets here and there," she said.
Besides being bitter, the campaign has been unprecedented for the amount of money the candidates have raised.
However, Morrison raised twice that — more than $2.2 million — during the same period.
Morrison's campaign began airing two new television ads statewide
Mark Simpson, Morrison's campaign manager, noted that the Democrat faced statewide attack ads from the Washington-based Republican State Leadership Committee.

Monday. One touts endorsements from several newspapers. The other takes Kline to task for raising 15-year-oldlegations of sexual harassment in two dismissed
federal lawsuits against Morrison, who paid no damages to the former employee who sued him.
The Democratic challenger has repeatedly attacked Kline for hiring Brown in 2003 to lead the division. Morrison used one television spot to publicize Brown's dozen arrests, without mentioning they occurred 1980s and 1990s and arose from anti-abortion protests. Kline has said Brown's activities then represented civil disobedience.
"Clearly, under his tenure as AG, there have been problems in this division, and it starts at the top, with his hiring of someone with 12 arrests to run it," Simpson said.
Jones said those past arrests don't affect how Brown runs the division, but added, "He has that same passion for his beliefs that he has for Kansas consumers."
Brown said in his report that if there were problems, it was in the previous administration's approach to consumer protection issues.
FAST FOOD
KFC eliminates unhealthy oils Restaurant drops trans fats ahead of New York City ban
BY DAVID B. CARUSO ASSOCIATED PRESS
Industry leaders dished up a plateful of reasons why such a plan shouldn't be adopted in the nation's restaurant capital.
The move would be a "recipe for disaster that could be devastating to New York City's restaurant industry", said E. Charles Hunt, executive vice president of the New York State Restaurant Association.
The shift by KFC and a handful of other fast food chains _ and the effort by New York health officials _ mark an aggressive crackdown on an ingredient that is consumed in large doses around the country.
NEW YORK — After two years of secret taste tests, KFC said Monday it would stop frying chicken in artery-clogging trans fats, but New York City restaurants being urged to do the same say it's not so easy.
An average American eats 4.7 pounds of trans fats a year, and the oil is used as a shortening in baked goods like cookies, crackers and doughnuts, as well as in deep frying. Experts say a ban in New York would reverberate across the country because the city's food industry is so large.
KFC's announcement, which won praise from consumer advocates, came an hour ahead of a public hearing on a proposal that would make New York the first U.S. city to ban the unhealthy artificial fats.
The ban initially would have been a harsh one for KFC. But the company now says that by next April, all 5,500 of its U.S. restaurants will have switched from trans fat-rich partially hydrogenated vegetable oil to a new soybean oil believed to be less likely to cause heart disease.
Some KFC sites have already made the switch in secret trials to see if customers would notice a difference. They did not, and
Burger King also said Monday that it hopes to begin testing trans fat-free cooking in some restaurants within, 90 days. Wendy's has already switched to a zero-trans fat oil. McDonald's had announced that it intended to do so as well in 2003, but has yet to follow through.

The New York hearing on the proposed trans fat ban was packed with doctors and paid industry spokesmen. Long lines at the building's security checkpoint and an overflowing hearing room might have deterred ordinary citizens or restaurant owners from speaking.
But industry representatives like Hunt spoke out.
"This ban threatens popular dishes and affordable menus," he said. "The city needs to get serious about working with, not against, our restaurant owners."
He and others said a ban would leave cooks unable to find proper replacement ingredients, and force some to switch to bad alternatives.
"Colonel Sanders deserves a buck et full of praise," said CSPI executive director Michael Jackson. "If KFC, which deep-fries almost everything, can get the artificial trans fat out of its frying oil, anyone can."
Sheila Cohn Weiss, director of nutrition policy for the National Restaurant Association, suggested
Health advocates applauded the company's switch. The Center for Science in the Public Interest, which sued KFC last spring over the trans fat content of its food, announced Monday that it was withdrawing from the lawsuit.
"We're confident that there is ample supply of healthy trans fat alternatives," Frieden said, although he added that officials might consider giving restaurants more time. The New York City Board of Health is expected to vote for the ban in December with an 18-month period for a full phase-in.
that restaurant owners in need of a quick fix would simply switch to another unhealthy substance like palm oil, which contains unhealthy amounts of saturated fat.
New York's health commissioner, Dr. Thomas Frieden, said officials have heard the supply argument before and rejected it as unsupported.
Louis Nunez, president of New York's Latino Restaurant Association, said a quick survey by his group shows at least 980 of its members don't know what trans fats are.
KFC President Gregg Dedrick said he was confident the switch won't prompt complaints about taste.
Still, he added, demand for transfat-free oils has the potential to outpace supply.
"This is a switch that cannot happen immediately," she said.

KFC has concerns about supply, too.
Monsanto spokesman Chris Horner said he expected the farmland devoted to the company's new seed to triple next year to 1.5 million acres, up from 500,000 acres this year and 100,000 in 2005.
"There is no compromise," he said at a Manhattan news conference. "Nothing is more important to us than the quality of our food and preserving the terrific taste of our product."
Dedrick said KFC and the creator of the new oil, the Monsanto Corp., had to work with seed oil processors to persuade farmers to grow more of the special soybeans used in the product. Among other things, farmers were offered a price premium to grow the new soybeans.

Ode to the Halloween costume
On Friday night you partied.
On Saturday morning you puked.
On Saturday night you partied once more
Wearing your Halloween suit.
Monday came, was quickly gone,
And Tuesday came a-yelling;
"It's Halloween! Today's the day!"
But it didn't sound compelling.
You don't wanna put your costume on.
It's wrinkled, stained and smelling.
It's ripped down the side, your ass barely hides,
And will it hold? There is no telling.
You've tried to subdue your Halloween you,
"It's just a day!" you're yelling.
Ah, but plug up your nose, and stitch up your hose
And scrape off all of the slime.
It's Halloween! Today's the day!
So throw it on one more time.

COMMENTARY
Engage international students for mutual benefit
Grant Snider/KANSAN
If there existed some sort of crystal ball that lit up in the presence of an extraordinarily brave person, I imagine we would find it glowing quite a bit here at the University of Kansas. Now I don't have any such talisman, but I can predict that in taking it from student to student, we would find it lighting up at least three percent of the time. That's because three percent of our student body here at the University is international.
When I came here as a freshman I feltadrift in a campus I didn'tfit into right away and a University culture I didn't fully understand. And I grew up only half an hour from Lawrence.
International students do not have the cultural ease which I had, yet they immerse themselves in the American university experience just as much. I'm not sure any crystal ball would be glowing around me.

When I was a kid, stranded somewhere back in junior high school, my family invited a student from Costa Rica over to our house a few times.
Pat Buchanan was on *The Daily Show* recently, saying we need to make sure Mexican-Americans learn our cultural heritage and our heroes from history. While it is important to understand any culture one enters, coming into American culture seems particularly difficult. Beneath the surface, American culture gives off a Pat Buchanan sort of vibe: "It's your job to understand us, or else."
I think Buchanan has it wrong. We ought to say, "If you didn't want to understand us, you probably wouldn't be here in the first place. Our real opportunity is getting to know you."
and nod.
My parents talked a lot and asked a lot of questions. I was afraid I wouldn't make sense or wouldn't know what to ask. My understanding of the world still resided in brightly colored GeoSafari maps.
Sometimes I would ask simple questions, such as "What food do you eat at home?" But most of the time I was afraid that, in opening my mouth, I'd say something stupid
After high school, one of my friends left the country for Costa Rica. Again, the only picture of Costa Rica in my head was the shape of its borders from a map. My imagination it seems, ended just south of Dallas.
Schneider is a Topeka Junior in English.
My friend ended up marrying a Costa Rican guy, and last winter she introduced me to her husband, one of the nicest people I've ever met. Once again, I was at the dinner table and afraid that I wouldn't be able to communicate in clear English.
So, I encourage you: When you see someone from another country walk by, think about how much courage they had in order to put away their familiar lives and try living here. Don't be silent because of difference. Be content with knowing nothing about another place. Ask. Find out about their culture. After all, they are trying to find out about yours.
Only this time, I gave it a try. When I would say something he didn't understand, we would both just smile and I'd try a different phrasing.

I had a big surprise in my first semester at the University of Kansas. Some of my fellow classmates didn't know what mammals or amphibians were. When I heard that my jaw dropped, Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely no way everyone can know everything, but knowing basic taxonomy should be a requirement for you to graduate from middle school.

The first thing one has to do is look at the coming elections and our current president. It seems like people don't want intelligent people running for office, and ultimately don't elect them. As soon as a politician is branded an intellectual he automatically becomes unpopular. "He doesn't connect with the common American," is a frequent characterization.
Jennifer Weaver, sales and marketing adviser
864-7666 or jweaver@kansan.com
The most disturbing thing is that the trend is clearly seen in colleges. Classes are seen as a hassle and as the negative part of going to college; the main reason we are here is relegated to a mere inconvenience.
It's common to see students trying to shortcut their way to a good grade and not caring if they achieve the most important thing — knowledge. SparkNotes substitute reading the books, homework is copied, and Wikipedia, instead of a starting point, becomes the No. 1 source for research.
If you leave college the same way you came in, without doubting the things that you once thought to be most sacred, you wasted your money.
A great number of students see Western Civilization as the worst thing they will go through in college. A class that is supposed to expose you to the construction, great achievements and ideas of our civilization is avoided at all costs. No wonder outdated medieval concepts such as "intelligent design" are weaving their way back into our society.
Sullivan De Oliveira is Belo Horizonte, Brazil, sophomore in history and journalism.
Some students ridicule non-American history as if it were completely unrelated to America. That lack of interest leaves them vulnerable to accepting comments by pundits such as Bill O'Reilly, who calls the French cowards because of WWII and their unwillingness to go to Iraq. Never mind the French Resistance. I guess we can forget the fact that the birth of this country would not have been impossible without their cooperation.
It's not only European history.
As soon as we start school, we enter a culture in which students glorify those who can get by without studying and ridicule those who immerse themselves in a subject. The "slacker" is seen as a hero while the "nerd" is made fun of.
And look at President Bush. I
A. K.
How many Americans know that the CIA supported terrible dictatorships in South America, or have a basic knowledge of conflicts in the Middle East? Perhaps if Americans showed more interest in world history, in general, the rest of the world would have a less negative view of them. And maybe we would realize that we have made some horrendous mistakes.
Truth be told, the problem with learning is that it challenges your beliefs, and that is not a comfortable feeling. But it is a necessary experience if we want to grow as individuals and contribute to society. Whenever our beliefs are challenged we realize that there is a multitude of view points that are all shaped by different experiences, and you cannot have a rational exchange of ideas if you do not know where the other side is coming from.
am not going to discuss his political stance, but the man isn't particularly bright. Not only that, he is proud of it. Stephen Colbert put it well during the White House correspondent's dinner: For Bush, the truth lies in his gut, not in the facts. He believes in faith, not reason. I wonder if he has ever heard of the Enlightenment; after all, he has a degree in history.

Students reenact popular cult classic at SUA film screening
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Dark makeup, fishnet stockings, spandex mini dresses and undergarments were among the outfits students wore to a showing of the "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at the Kansas Union Monday night.
A group of nearly 300 students, including dozens of scantily clad girls and guys wearing spandex boxers and dresses that exposed leg and chest hair, gathered in the Kansas Union Ballroom to watch the film.
Before the movie, Student Union Activities sponsored a Time Warp dance contest, trivia contests and a costume contest. Prizes included color-coded bondage tape and "52 alluring sex games for lovers."
The audience members went wild, flailing their arms, shaking their bodies and thrusting their hips during the Time Warp.
Alessandra Hanly, Shawnee freshman, said the dance was her favorite part of the film. She competed in the Time Warp and the costume contests. Her hair was teased so that it formed a wild mane around her face and wore a black dress with a white apron, portraying the character Magenta.
Numerous other students dressed as characters from the film. During the costume contest, a myriad of Magentas paraded across the front of the room, including a walking version of Magenta's lips.
Will Dawson, Detroit freshman, dressed as the character Brad. He wore boxers and a T-shirt, which he removed when his friend told him Brad didn't wear a shirt.
glitter, said he enjoyed dressing up the most. His face was painted white with thick black eye make-up.
"Our method was to slap on a lot of make-up," he said. "It's all about glam and having fun."
Other outfits and accessories included surgeon's masks, stiletto heels, a wedding dress and pajamas.
Mallory Deines, Olathe sophmore, agreed that dressing up was the most fun. She heard about the film from her mom, who saw it when she was a student at the University.
"It's fun to dress up and go crazy and sing the songs and throw rice and toast at the screen," he said.
"I like to see scantily clad people," she joked at the provocation of a friend.
Some students, who had never seen the show before, were surprised.

Kelsey Berry, Manhattan freshman, was also prompted to see the film by her mom, who saw it at K-State on Friday.
"We don't see a lot of this in Manhattan," she said.

The Internet, specifically sites like YouTube, has made it easier to view archived and recent video clips. The Kansan sports staff has selected a few clips that have stood out as memorable, ranging from Jayhawk basketball to baseball and football.
Kansan sports staff selects top YouTube video clips
The Internet is wonderful.
Video sites like YouTube provide the opportunity to relive great sports moments, whether they happened two weeks ago or two decades ago.
Last week, the sports staff of The University Daily Kansan chose the best sports videos on YouTube. Visit Kansan.com/youtube for links to all of the winners or to submit your favorite in the comments section of the site.
Without further ado, here are some of our favorites.
Bo Jackson:
The two-sport superstar made the list twice. First, a collection of acrobatic catches, including a climbing-the-wall effort. Jackson also excels in video game format in a nearly two-minute long run from the old-school Nintendo game Tecmo Bowl.
Minor-league manager Joe Mikulik:
After what he perceived to be a bad call, he steals a page — or several — from Lou Piniella's playbook.
Allen Iverson doesn't practice:
After being suspended for missing practice, Iverson wants to know,
"How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?" Also making the cut was "Allen Iverson, football star," with video of his best plays from high school.
Pine tar game:
Tired of hearing about how great the Cardinals are? Relive this Royals classic in long form or skip straight to George Brett's blowup with the miracle of technology.
ESPN's Images of the Century:
This stirring video montage made
nearly everyone's top five list. The six-minute video includes images and videos from nearly every major sporting event.
Jayhawk basketball:
There's no shortage of Jayhawk basketball on YouTube. On the list are dunk videos from Julian Wright, Kenny Gregory and Sherron Collins.
Jayhawk football:
While there aren't as many videos, it's still fun to compare June Henley with Jon Cornish. Also, what
better way to get fired up for this year's Kansas vs. K-State game than by reliving the 2004 classic? This is back when the goalposts came down for a reason.
Jayhawk track:
The oldest video on the list. University of Kansas runner Billy Mills' incredible 10,000 meter finish at the 1964 Olympics.
"The band is on the field!" Enough said.
Cal-Stanford:
Mike Tyson:
He gets three video nods. Once for biting off an ear, once for his top knockouts, and once for wanting to eat your children.
Buckner, re-created:
Somebody has painstakingly recreated the infamous game of the 1986 World Series, including Bill Buckner's error, on the Nintendo, even dubbing over the original announcing from the game.

Starting center injures knee

"We're kind of fortunate because we thought yesterday it was maybe worse than it is," Self said. "He'll be out, in a perfect world, three weeks, but we're probably looking at closer to six."
The loss of Kaun has been compounded by the suspension of junior center C.J. Giles. As a result, Self said junior Darnell Jackson or freshman Darrell Arthur would play center in Kaun's and Giles' absences.

Coach Mark Mangino has refused to name his starting quarterback for this Saturday's game. After the performance of freshman Todd Reesing against Colorado, he is looking like a good candidate.
Who's it going to be?
The Kansas quarterback position is up in the air with only two likely possibilities for
the job.
Another week and still more questions about who will be Kansas' starting quarterback.
Since Kerry Meier suffered a right shoulder injury last month in Toledo, Mark Mangino has been bombarded with daily questions about who will be his starter.
Entering this weekend's game against Iowa State, the Kansas football coach has refused to name any names. Instead, he's told fans and media to come to the game and find out.
"I feel like whoever is ready to go, healthy and prepared, we'll go with," said Mangine during Monday's Big
12. Conference Football Coaches Teleconference.
With that, Mangino provided about as much insight to Saturday's starter as could be expected this week.
But, with senior Adam barmain essentially benched, it appears Mangino's choice will be down to Meier or freshman Todd Reeing.
Meier suffered a right shoulder injury against Baylor in Waco, Texas
Reeing came into the game on Saturday during the third quarter, replacing Barmann. He finished the game 7-for-11, passing for 106 yards, with three downs and an interception. Reeing also had 90 yards rushing on seven carries.
Oct. 21 similar to the one he sustained in the Toledo game. He didn't play against Colorado.
Mangino's refusal to name a starter has been in part to take the spotlight off his young quarterbacks.
"There's been so much focus here for the last several years on that position that we would like to see some focus put on other players that are playing extremely well and doing some good things in our program," Mangino said.
Without naming a starter, Mangino has forced Iowa State to prepare for all three quarterbacks.

MEN'S GOLF
Play declines during weekend
BY ASHER FUSCO
The Kansas men's golf team was in disarray after two rounds of play at the Landfall Traditions Tournament in Wilmington, N.C.
The team's strong play in the first four tournaments of the season seemed like a distant memory after a team-wide collapse in this weekend's second round. Senior Gary Woodland, the Jayhawks' most consistent contributor, was questionable heading into the third round after sustaining a back injury.
Senior Tyler Docking, who fought through an abysmal 81 in the second round, emerged from play on Sunday with the tournament's lowest single-round score, a 68. Docking's impressive turnaround placed him in a tie for ninth with Woodland and helped Kansas finish in seventh place with an overall score of 915.
The Jayhawks stood in a tie for third place after strong first-round scores by freshman Bobby Knowles and Woodland. Knowles followed his stellar first round with a disappointing second round, ultimately finishing with a score of 234, good
for a tie for 35th place. Woodland followed an even-par first round with a 76 in the second. After Woodland aggravated a bulging disc in his back during Sunday's warm-ups, coach Ross Randall feared Woodland would not be able to finish the tournament.
"We were obviously worried that Gary would have to sit out," Randall said. "He immediately talked to a trainer, took some pills for the pain and was ready to play."
The team title went to Tulsa, which won by 26 strokes. Tulsa teammates Nicholas Geyger and Mitch Cohlmia shared the individual crown with total scores of 215.
Kansas entered the tournament ranked 30th nationally by Golfweek magazine, but may lose that ranking after this past weekend's average performance.

》 'HORN BORN 'HAWK BRED
Transition period done as team starts fourth year with Self
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
Only two more days.
In 2003, Kansas basketball was Roy Williams. It was fast-paced. It was back-to-back Final Fours instead of back-to-back first round losses. It was a roster filled with veteran leadership and young-but-talented role players, not a team without any seniors.
Kansas basketball finally tips off on Thursday night against Washburn. But before we get too excited, I'd like everyone, especially the seniors, to take a moment and remember 2003.
That was the year I decided to attend the University of Kansas. I don't think any of the events that followed could have been predicted.
That year Kansas lost to Syracuse in the National Championship game, then days later good ol' Roy unexpectedly said goodbye. By May, everything had changed.
Kansas had to adapt during a time when fans liked the way things were. It brought in a new coach and a new athletics director, and despite the anxiety caused by Bill Self's different
Some seniors may say they would rather have been born four yours earlier to see Roy's final KU teams, with Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich, Drew Gooden and two Final Fours. But something is noticeably missing: a National Championship.
Then, at least for that class, a lot went wrong. In an unfortunate sequence of events, three players transferred and one took a redshirt. Now, the only goodbye on Senior Night will be for graduating members of the band, spirit squad and dance team. I didn't expect that.
After all the unforeseen turns and frustrations during Kansas Basketball's three-year transition period, how fitting would this season be if it ended the way we always expected?

World Series victory sends Cardinals devotees on collective emotional high
ST. LOUIS — Joan Tichacek has never been high on anything in her life.
BY JEFF DOUGLAS ASSOCIATED PRESS
But even as the days pass after her St. Louis Cardinals became World Series champions, she and the rest of the city remain hung over with excitement and adrenaline.
"For me and my family, this is an absolute high". Tchacek said.
Celebrating a championship is a rare thing. The experience has done wonders for how this community feels about itself.
Karline Sugaman, an associate professor of sports psychology at John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill, Calif., said fans identify with their teams psychologically more than some would think.
"When the team loses they feel like they lost. When they win, they share the same emotions as the players on the field. They are truly a part of it all. The fans won the World Series too." Sugarman said.
Tichacek and her husband are season ticket holders. Now in their 70s, the lifelong fans have a brick engraved on the sidewalk outside Busch Stadium. It commemorates the Cardinals' 1982 World Series victory that they attended with their two sons, who are now adults.

Defending champions lead poll
Preseason players of the year highlight Kansas roster; Texas A&M steps into second
BY DREW DAVISON
Kansas is the clear-cut favorite to win the Big 12 Conference for the second consecutive year this season. With traditional powerhouses Texas and Oklahoma on the down swing, it appears Texas A&M will be the team to beat in the South division. Here's a look at every school and where they stack up (in order of Big 12 preseason rankings).

ONE LOVE
Predictions outline basketball season
Take that, Billy Packer.
Last March, the CBS basketball commentator slammed the NCAA selection committee for picking too many teams from mid-major conferences and not enough from his precious ACC. Well, Final Four participant George Mason showed Packer and the rest of the country that mid-majors can compete at a high level. The big question for this year and future years is this: Can a similar run happen again for a mid-major, or were the Patriots an exception?
One thing is certain as this season is about to start. Florida has nearly everyone back from its championship team, and is the obvious pick to start the season at No. 1. As for a Cinderella team surprising everyone in March, that's impossible to predict. But hey, I'll try to predict anyway. Here is a 2006-2007 NCAA preview.
Top10
1) Florida — Gainesville is a nice city, and the Gators have a good chance to repeat. But come on, Joakim Noah, you should be logging minutes for a mediocre NBA team and writing checks for frivolous clothing items.
2) North Carolina — Sorry grudge-harboring KU fans, but Roy has quite a few pieces to play with this year in Chapel Hill, with Tyler Hansbrough and the best recruiting class in the country.
3) Kansas — Although Sasha Kaun and C.J. Giles could be gone, Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson will more than make up for the loss. Here's a nightmare first-round match-up for Jayhawk fans, Kansas vs. Belmont.
4) UCLA — Josh Shipp, who missed almost all of last season, returns and will offset the loss of Jordan Farmer. Note to Coach Ben Howland: It's OK to score points.
5) Wisconsin — The Badgers' 38-2 record in Big 10 home games in the past 5 years makes the Kohl Center the best home-court advantage in the country, and Alando Tucker will be the Big 10 Player of the Year.
6) Georgetown — It's 1985 all over again in D.C. A guy named John Thompson is barking out coaching orders from the bench and another Patrick Ewing is manning the paint. Roy Hibbert and Jeff Green join Ewing to form one of the nation's best frontcourts.
7) Duke — Josh McRoberts played well enough in the shadow of
BY MARK DENT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
MDENT@KANSAN.COM
Shelden Williams last year to be projected as a lottery pick, and now he has the chance to be the man in Durham.
8) Arizona — Chris Rodgers and Hassan Adams are gone, taking a chunk out of the team's arrest-warrant average but also the team's scoring average. Chase Budinger is the best goofy, tall white guy in basketball.
9) LSU — Props to Glen "Big Baby" Davis for having a real nickname in an era where nicknames have almost ceased to exist. Big Baby has a big problem in store for his opponents too: a big weight loss that increases his versatility.
10) Marquette — This is the riskiest pick of the Top 10. Marquette has excellent guards, headlined by point Dominic James, but they will have to carry the load for a weak frontcourt.

Pittsburgh, Ohio State, Georgia Tech, Washington, Texas A&M, Creighton, Alabama, Tennessee, Villanova, Akron
All-Americans
Tyler Hansbrough, North Carolina
Joakim Noah, Florida
Josh McRoberts, Duke
Dominic James, Marquette
Alando Tucker, Wisconsin
Freshman of the Year:
Kevin Durant, Texas
All-NyQuil (Sleeper Teams)
Xavier — Almost everyone is back from last year's inconsistent but-good team, except dog thief Dedrick Finn.
Virginia - Sean Singletary is one of the best point guards in the country, and second-year coach Dave Leitao isn't half bad either.
George Washington Coach Karl Hobbs is the best coach outside of the major conferences.
USC — If Gabriel Pruitt, who is academically ineligible this semester, manages to make it to a couple of classes, the Trojans could have a chance to play in March.
DePaul — Sammy Meijia is the
All-Eric Chenowith (Most Overrated)
Big East's second-leading returning scorer.
Jarrius Jackson, Texas Tech — How this guy made the All-Big 12 first team over Acie Law beats me.

Malik Hairston, Oregon — The poster boy for the Ducks, Hairston compared himself to Carmelo Anthony before his freshman year. Well, Hairston, Anthony wouldn't let his team lose to Portland and Portland State back to back

And who would Iowa State coach Dan McCarney like to face on Saturday?
"I'm not going there," McCarney said Monday. "They're all quality players and we've been struggling defensively, so we'll have to be at our best."
That could be good news for the jayhawks.
Iowa State ranks 11th in the conference in total defense, giving up more than 382 yards of offense a game. In its past three games against Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Kansas
State, the Cyclones have given up more than 390 yards of offense and 35 points per game.

Bueltel ailing:
Junior cornerback Blake Bueltel suffered an undisclosed injury and his return is uncertain.
"He was slowed down by an injury," Mangino said. "He has to play his way back up."
On the season, Buellet has 17 tackles, including 15 solo.
Ronx's switch:
After starting the season at wide receiver, senior Dominic Roux switched sides and saw time at safety against Colorado. Roux recorded one tackle in the first defensive action of his career.
"I thought he did some really good things," Mangino said. "He'll play more again this week."

Edwards says Green will return to lineup despite Huard's role as successful backup
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Damon Huard performs in place of Trent Green, who suffered a concussion. Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said Green will replace Huard despite the backup's success. Kansas City lost quarterback Trent Green with a concussion in its first game.
Jack Dempsey/ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Standing alone in a far corner of Kansas City's tumultuous postgame locker room, Trent Green had the look of a solitary little boy pressing his nose against the candy store window.
Chiefs stick with Green
In normal times after a thrilling victory by the home team, a crowd would be forming around the Chiefs' two-time Pro Bowl quarterback. Men and women bearing tape recorders and television cameras would swarm around him.
But on Sunday after a 38-25 victory over Seattle, everybody wanted to talk to tight end Tony Gonzalez, running back Larry Johnson, and — most of all — quarterback Damon Huard.
Huard is 4-2 now since Green was knocked out of action in the Sept. 10 opener, a remarkable run that has kept the Chiefs afloat and no one dared expect from a guy who hadn't started in the NFL since 2000.
For his part, Huard is maintaining the same good-soldier attitude that kept him in line for six years as a backup, often the all-but-forgotten No. 3 on the depth chart.
What happens when Green gets back, probably in a couple of weeks?
He has thrown only one interception. At Arrowhead Stadium, he is 3-0, topping the 100-point quarterback rating in all three starts, with 752 yards passing and five touchdowns.
NFL
Against the Seahawks on Sunday, the poised and confident backup had his best game ever despite a painful groin pull that almost kept him off the field. He threw for a career-best 312 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and triggered once again a rising tide of speculation.
"The fact you're talking about it is a good thing because that means we're winning games," he said. "But Trent's the starting quarterback and this year on this team, my job is to back him up. And to fill in if he's out. That's what I'm trying to do now."
Green was cleared only last week to start light practice. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday that he should know early this week if the veteran quarterback, the Chiefs' acknowledged leader, will participate in team drills.
Will he play on Sunday?
"I doubt it." Edwards said.
The decision is not growing any more difficult as Huard continues to excel week after week, Edwards insisted.
"No, it's really not. Damon's done a fantastic job. He's going to continue to play well as long as he has to play. There's going to come a point
in time when Trent is going to be available to play. When that time comes, we've got to get him back out there and ready to play"

The reasons for putting Green back under center are obvious, Edwards said.
"What (Green) has done here, his leadership role, the type of player you anticipate him to be. He's won a lot of games for this football team. He's one of the leaders on this team. When he comes back, you get another shot of adrenaline for your football team, which is always a good thing."
Huard's most impressive feat may be the way he helped hold the Chiefs together after a humiliating 45-7 setback to Pittsburgh.
That loss left them 2-3 and reeling. It was the most lopsided the franchise has experienced in a non-strike season in 22 years.
