ELECTION 2006
Unitemized contributions spark debate
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
The attorney general campaign finance reports are in, and Democratic challenger Paul Morrison's campaign is questioning Republican incumbent Phill Kline's numbers.
Morrison's campaign spokesman Mark Simpson, said they wanted an explanation for $41,552 in unitem-
ized contributions.
Carol Williams with the Governmental Ethics Commission said state law permitted any candidate party or political committee to lump together any contributions that were less than $50. Candidates are required to provide the names and addresses of contributors who donate more than $50.
"This is indicating to us he has
that many contributors, he knows the name and address of them, but he doesn't have to report them," she said. "Law does not require him to."
There is no limit on the number of $50 contributions a candidate can have, she said. Kline would need about 830 contributors giving $50 or less to his campaign to equal the $41,552 amount in unitemized
contributions.
Messages left with Kline's campaign office were not returned throughout the day.
According to campaign finance reports released Monday, Morrison has raised more than $2 million and has $11,685 left on hand. Kline raised about $1 million and has $94,209 left at the close of the period.
Morrison and Kline have had a fierce campaign so far. In September, a leaked memo written by Kline caused a stir because he stated he was accepting contributions from churches, which were paid to his wife's company SWT Communications Inc. Later, Kline's top adviser, former Attorney General Bob Stephan, resigned because he didn't agree with Kline's actions.
Morrison came under heat when Kline brought up a 15-year-old allegation by a woman who claimed Morrison sexually harassed her. Morrison has debated throughout his campaign that Kline violated people's privacy by using abortion records for investigations. Both candidates have used several ads

Dancers try new style
Indian performers visit, teach classes
Sorokhalam Ibomcha Singh, a dancer from Raman Thiyanam Chorus Reporter Theatre, leads students in Patrick Suzeau's ideoklasis class class on Robinson Gym. Thiyanam spoke with several student groups and classes this week. Thiyanam's company will perform "Nine Hills One Valley" at 7:30 p.m. ononday and the Tried at Lied Censor,站start at 14. It is the only performance in the Midwest.

Dance students watched carefully as professional Indian dancers moved rhythmically to the beat of a wooden drum in their dance studio in Robinson Center.
The bare-foot dancers rose up on their toes and then dipped and swayed from side to side in slow, controlled movements. Students began to join in, first mimicking the movements of the other dancers, and then creating their own variations as they adjusted to the new dance form.

"We are not dancers, we are actors," he said. "An actor has to work with all the composing art forms."
Actors in Thiyam's company went through rigorous training to master traditional art forms, movement, narration, martial arts and costume design. Many of them also perform music.
The chorus will be performing "Nine Hills One Valley" at 7:30 on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at the Lied Center as part of its U.S. tour.
Ratan Thiyam, an internationally acclaimed performance artist, and the Chorus Repertory Theatre from Imphal, India, visited several theater and dance classes this week.
Thiyam said dancing involved theater, which consisted of all types
They demonstrated high-energy tribal dances, which Thiyam said "lift up the entire atmosphere" in northeastern India, and classical dances as students watched, mesmerized.
Thiyam said the classical dances were performed for spiritual purposes, not to entertain. These dances invited the audience to participate in the ceremony rather than isolating it with space.
In between the dances, the actors and students formed a large human chain, holding hands and weaving around each other in the small studio. They moved to the beat of a wooden hand drum, stomping on
Thiyam said the music created a charge and a connection between

the dancers.
Kathy Patterson, Topeka junior, said she enjoyed taking part in the dance steps. It allowed her to have a better feel for the dancers' lives, she said.
'It's interesting to see other cultures and how dance plays into their
lives," she said.
Shama Doering, Mulvane freshman, also enforced the dance style.
"I like how different it was and that it was out of my comfort zone," she said. "It was like they were dancing a story instead of to a beat."

Fashion industry offers negative-sized clothing
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Women's clothing sizes are getting smaller, but women aren't necessarily doing the same.
Several clothing retailers are taking up "vanity sizing," or lowering sizes numerically, but keeping measurements exactly the same.
Next fall, fashion designer Nicole Miller plans to introduce a size smaller than zero. Many people are calling it a "subzero" and referring to it as a negative size. Banana Republic currently offers size 00, which is smaller than a zero.

ELECTION 2006:
Decide for yourself
6: ★★★
Each candidate vying for Thornburgh's job has two common goals: make sure each vote counts and don't use electronic voting machines to count them.
The Secretary of state race in Kansas may not be the most glamorous race this year, but that hasn't stopped candidates from challenging Republican incumbent Ron Thornburgh.
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Candidates focus on polling
Libertarian Party candidate Rob Hodgkinson said younger voters, who were willing to look at third parties, were key to his campaign.
Voter-verified paper ballots are his top issue. He said he sat through an election day in Johnson County once, and despite the generally solid procedures he witnessed, Hodgkinson thought Kansas could do better.
However, Thornburgh quickly pointed out that federal law required electronic voting machines in every polling place.
"Let's not pretend the only voting device available is that touch-screen system," Thornburgh said. "In many
counties there are optical scanners and even hand-counted paper ballots"
Hodgkinson and Democratic candidate David Haley both said voter awareness was one of the main problems with Thornburgh's 12-year tenure in office.
"The majority of Kansens even after 12 years can't name Ron Thornburgh," Haley said. "He has alienated and disenfranchised many voters from the polls."
Despite Thornburgh's work on a 2002 federal law that mandated further poll worker training and new voting machines, Haley said that voter registrations must be "purged of duplication."
Haley, who has been a state senator since 2000, cited illegal immigrants or students who temporarily resided in Kansas and ended up being able to vote in Kansas and their home states as examples of incorrect registrations.
Corrupted voter registration might be one reason turnout in Kansas is not as high as it should be, Haley said. One way to encourage voting
is to possibly give people a ticket for not voting — not make them pay a fine, but just send a reminder to citizens, Haley said.
Thornburgh said his office had been aggressive in pushing voter turnout, including the expansion of advance ballots. He also has pushed for legislation to allow "satellite voting" where voting machines would be placed in public areas like malls or the Kansas Union.
Governor Kathleen Sebelius has vetoed the legislation once, but Thornburgh wants to bring it back again.
Reform party candidate Joseph Martin disagreed.
Those programs pull "data from Ohio or Florida, states that don't have the security requirements that Kansas has," Thornburgh said. "Security in Kansas is not just on the polling machines but throughout the system from election day through vote tabulation."
Thornburgh said he was frustrated.

Who's Who at KU BY JOSH LANDAU
On any other day, Adam Medaris, Olathe junior, would have stood out on campus. Yesterday, however, was Halloween and he was just one ninja in a long line of costumes that ranged from penguins to Forest Gump.
Medaris is double majoring in environmental studies and biology. He wants to work for the Environmental Protection Agency someday.
"I want to be able to stick it to the big companies." Medaris said.
However, on Halloween, a holi
day he looks forward to every year,
Medaris is a ninja.
"Halloween is tied with Christmas for my favorite holidays," Medaris said. "I can interact with Halloween more than Christmas though."

Medaris made his costume instead of buying one. He used black clothing, ranging from spray painted sneakers to thermal underwear, to make his outfit. The only part of the costume he bought from a specialty store was the swords.
"If you have all the material to
make a costume you can spend around 15 bucks." Mediar said.
Medaris considered being a pirate for Halloween, but chose being a ninja because he thought ninjas were better.
"The stealth factor and years of training to be a ninja makes them better," Maridis said. "My roommate dressed up as a pirate and we had a battle. I won because I was better equipped."

Man with fake $100 bill arrested for counterfeit
BATESVILLE, Ark. — Police instantly knew this Bill wasn't authentic.
A man has been arrested for trying to use a $100 bill with no president's portrait and the name of former President Clinton.
The man, who has not been identified, was arrested Friday after trying to use the bill to buy cigarettes at a Batesville gas station.
"The bill was unmistakably fake due to the fact that the ink was running on the bill, the president's face was missing and for the president's name, it had the name Clinton on it." Deputy Nathan Stephens said.
The sheriff's office expects to file
counterfeiting charges against the suspect, authorities said.
"Of all the cases I've worked with phony money, this is the sorriest bill I've ever seen," Lt. Brenda Bittle said.

Milton has posted updates of his ball's growing girth on his MySpace page. He's also uploaded videos of the ball crushing things, such as when he used a forklift to drop the ball on an old van.
Milton started building the ball last November. He bought rubber bands at retail stores and then started purchasing in bulk from the Pennsylvania-based Dykema Rubber Band Company.
Milton, who wants to stretch the ball at least another 1,000 pounds, said the work isn't all that safe.

Oklahoma becomes last state to legalize tattoos
OKLAHOMA CITY — The law legalizing tattoo in Oklahoma goes into effect Wednesday and some people are already eager to roll up their sleeves.
Tressa Madden, director of consumer protection at the state Department of Health, said her office has been swamped with inquiries about the licensing process. Oklahoma was the last state to legalize tattooing.
"Build the rules, and they will come," said Madden, whose department is in charge of licensing tattoo artists and tattoo establishments. "I try to return phone calls as fast as I can."
George Stratton, owner of Cutting Edge Tattoo in Arkansas City, Kan., said about 30 percent of his customers are Oklahomaans who cross the state border for a legal tattoo.
He knows a portion of that business will slough off, but he predicted that many tattoo artists in Oklahoma won't have the experience or the money to meet state licensing requirements.
He said that if his business goes bad, "I'll move to Oklahoma and still have a jump ahead!"

GTA contract dispute to end soon
Activity in the ongoing contract dispute between the University and its graduate teaching assistants has ceased for the time being as both sides prepare for a fact-finding hearing scheduled for Nov.29.
Both sides said they hoped the hearing, conducted by a neutral fact-finder appointed by the state Public Employee Relations Board in September, would finally bring an end to the negotiations, which began in May 2005.
The two sides had similar problems agreeing on a contract in 2002. That dispute lasted 22 months.
Katy Martin, lead negotiator for the Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition, has previously said she thought the end of the year was a reasonable goal for finishing the negotiations. With just two months remaining in the year, Martin said she still agreed with that goal.
"I think it's possible," Martin said. "Maybe not by the end of the semester, but by the end of the calendar year. It just depends how long the fact-finder takes to come to a decision."
Lynn Britz, director of university communications and government relations, said the University was also hoping the dispute would be resolved by the end of the year.
"I would certainly hope that's the case," Bretz said. "We really wish we could have gotten this done sooner."
Lisa-Marie Wright, GTA in sociology, said she was satisfied with the speed at which the process was moving.
"I think it's important not to drag on the process too long, but it's also important to get all the information out there and have our case heard," Wright said.
After the hearing, the fact-finder will make a recommendation to the state as to whether GTAC should be granted its demands. Both sides said they would accept the recommendation as the final word in the matter.
"The negotiations are over," Bretz said. "It all comes down to the fact-finder at this point."
Martin said she was optimistic the fact-finder would rule in favor of the GTAs. She said GTAC had not had any contact with the fact-finder or the University since the negotiations moved to this stage.
Bretz, meanwhile, reiterated the University's desire to arrive at a new contract and get raises to the GTAs.

Rumsfeld: Expand Iraqi security forces
BY ROBERT BURNS ASSOCIATED PRESS
NATION
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Tuesday endorsed a proposal to spend at least $1 billion to expand the size and accelerate the training and equipping of Iraqi security forces.
While the plan still must get final approval from the White House and the money would have to be approved by Congress, Rumsfeld's support underscores the Bush administration's effort to shift more of the burden of Iraq's security to that country's forces.
"I'm very comfortable with the increases they've proposed and the accelerations in achievement of some of their targets," Rumsfeld told reporters at the Pentagon, noting that the Iraqi government and Gen. George Casey, the top U.S.
commander in Iraq, both recom mended expanding Iraqi forces.
"Now it's simply a matter of our pressing forward and getting our portion of the funding from the Congress and working to see that it's executed," Rumsfeld said. He did not say how much extra U.S. money would be required.
So far, the U.S. government has spent roughly $10 billion on developing the Iraqi security forces, according to the latest report released by the Pentagon special inspector general who audits U.S. work in Iraq. One official, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the proposed extra money as more than $1 billion, but would not offer specifics.
Rumsfeld "approved going forward" with the proposal, which is intended to be part of an add-on to the 2007 budget, according to Pentagon press secretary Eric
Ruff. It will next be submitted to the White House and other government agencies for their review, Ruff said.
The defense secretary's move comes at a time when the Bush administration has been pressing Iraqi officials to agree to benchmarks with which progress in the war-torn country can be measured. The effort has produced strains with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who has resisted being portrayed as beholden to Washington.
Rumsfeld did not cite a dollar figure or reveal how many extra Iraqi forces would be developed, beyond the 325,000 target that U.S. officials say they expect to reach before year's end.
Two defense officials said Tuesday that the expected increase was far fewer than 100,000, and one official suggested it might be about 30,000. Those officials spoke
on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
CBS News reported on Monday that Casey had recommended expanding the Iraqi security forces by as much as 100,000.
Rumsfeld said the final decision on expanding the Iraqi security forces would be announced in Baghdad.
Asked whether such an increase would mean that U.S. troops would have to stay in Iraq longer to train the extra forces, Rumsfeld said he doubted it. Nor would it necessarily require a higher number of U.S. trainers, he said.
U. S. government approval is required for any plan to expand the size of the Iraqi forces because it could not be accomplished without additional U.S. funds and the provision of U.S. trainers and U.S.-acquired equipment.
Rep. Ike Skelton of Missouri, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said expanding the Iraqi security forces likely means it will take more than the 12 to 18 months Casey has estimated it will take to get the Iraqis fully in control of their own security.
"Congress must have a clear explanation of why these additional forces are needed, what additional American training resources will be put in place, and how this new training plan will allow for a decreased commitment from American forces," Skelton said.
The current plan is to develop 325,000 Iraqi security forces, including the army, police and border control forces. The number trained and equipped thus far is about 310,000, and the final target is expected to be reached by year's end.

Prime minister succeeds in maneuvering U.S. to lift blockades on checkpoints in Baghdad
BY CHRISTOPHER BODEEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Exploiting GOP vulnerability in the Nov. 7 elections, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki flexed his political muscle Tuesday and won U.S. agreement to lift military blockades on Sadr City and another Shiite enclave where an American soldier was abducted.
U. S. forces, who had set up the checkpoints in Baghdad last week as part of an unsuccessful search for the soldier, drove away in Humvees and armored personnel carriers at the 5 p.m. deadline set by al-Maliki. Iraqi troops, who had manned the checkpoints with the Americans, loaded coils of razor wire and red traffic cones onto pickup trucks.
Their departure set off celebrations among civilians and armed men in Sadr City, the sprawling Shiite district controlled by the Mahdi Army militia loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Small groups

of men and children danced in circles chanting slogans praising and declaring victory for al-Sadr, whose political support is crucial to the prime minister's governing coalition.
The prime minister's challenge to U.S. conduct of the war was the latest in a series of acts designed to force the American hand and test Washington's readiness to give him a greater say in securing the world's most violent capital.
Al-Maliki finds himself in a
maze of conflicting political pressures. After the Bush administration unveiled a plan last week for Iraq's government to adopt timelines for progress, especially in curbing violence, al-Maliki accused Washington of infringing on national sovereignty. There was no doubt he was talking tough to show both the Americans and his political base that he would not be pushed around.

"Today, the critical issue in Iraq is whether the Maliki government can muster the political will to confront those who use violence to destabilize Iraq," Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat, said in a statement.

SIZE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"The idea of a zero size really makes women seem like a zero, a nothing," she said. "As women are increasing power and visibility in society, why are we requiring them to take up less space physically?"
Not all women see it this way.
Marta Vicente, professor of history with a specialization in women and gender, said she thought the illusion of being thin was good if it made people happy.
She said she noticed a trend toward sizes being labeled smaller.
Vicente compared the smaller clothing sizes to exercising.
"It's like being in the gym for two hours," she said. "You feel good and that's what it's about."
Women may be happier wearing smaller sizes, but it can be confusing when shopping for clothes that fit.
Tess Cuevas, Topeka senior, said
she felt like her size varied everywhere she shopped. She said she didn't care about the number on the tag because her size varied so much from store to store.
"I feel like I own some clothes that are really small sizes, but then I have some that are like size 13," she said. "It's not like anyone sees what size you wear."
Aley Shoffner, Wichita sophomore, said she could wear smaller jeans at Gap than at most other places. She said she didn't pay attention to size as much as she used to.
"I remember when I started to get taller and my sizes were getting a little bigger; it bummed me out for awhile." But Shoffner said she soon realized that it was natural for her to be wearing the size she wore.

"Vanity sizeing" is a growing trend among clothing designers. This trend of labeling clothing sizes smaller but keeping measurements the same is supposed to appeal to women who feel better about buying clothing that's labeled a smaller size. A size smaller than zero recently was developed.

"There is no way to prove votes are accurately counted when there is no tangible evidence of what the machines are counting," Martin said. "Naturally we should have hand-counted paper ballots."
Like Libertarian nominee Hodgkinson and Democratic nominee Haley, Martin said making sure voters are legal residents of Kansas is critical to accurate vote counts.
Electronic voting machines can't show proof of their accuracy, Martin said, and "any attempt to display proof can be fabricated as well."

WASHINGTON — The Interior Department has dropped a claim that Chevron Corp. shortchanged the government $6 million on royalties from some gas it pumped in the Gulf of Mexico.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NATIONAL
The department concluded its case would not hold up before an appeals panel.
Chevron Corp. case dropped
the gas it sold to Dynegy. Chevron paid royalties based on a price that didn't represent fair market value, the government auditors said.
The department's Minerals Management Service had maintained that Chevron owed an additional $6 million for gas it took under federal leases in the Gulf between 1996 and 2002 and sold to Dynegy Inc., a company Chevron partially owns.
Essentially, the government argued that Chevron undervalued
But last summer, the government quietly rescinded its demand for the additional royalties. That decision was reported Tuesday by the New York Times, based on documents the newspaper obtained through a freedom of information request.
MMS Deputy Director Walter Knuckshank in an interview said demand for the additional $6 million was "based on the premise that a lot of (Chevron's) sales to Dynegy were not at arm's length" because of the corporate relationship between the two companies.
Chevron in 1996 had sold its holdings in a large number of gas processing plants to Houston-based Dynegy in return for a 28 percent
holding in the company.
While the additional royalties were minuscule compared to the $2.5 billion Chevron paid in total royalties during the six years, the company was expected to appeal the order to the department's Board of Land Appeals.
That board in a separate ruling involving another gas producer, Vastar Resources, had issued a narrower interpretation of when a transaction should be considered not at "armis length" that the one used by the government auditors.
targeting their opponents.
FINANCE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"It was a different case, but the same issue" as the Chevron case, said Kruickshank. "It was very clear ... that they would rule in favor of Chevron and against us. ... We reached a conclusion that we would not win the case."
Political science professor Burdett Loomis said Kline had been on the defensive throughout the race and would be on the defensive until the end.
Loomis said there was reason to
question the $41,500 and he wanted to know where the money came from, especially given the memo and all other previous allegations.
Kline could purposely be doing it or he could be being sloppy, Loomis said. Kline reported some contributions less than $50, he said, but most candidates report all of them.
But Kline's credibility doesn't matter, Loomis said, because he's run a bad campaign.
"It looks as though he's going down," he said. "This is not the
cause, but one more thing," he said.

The plan would be a blessing for some, who instead of paying $140 for a bus pass could hop on the bus for free.
OUR VIEW
But KU on Wheels numbers from September show that only 22 percent of students use the bus
Students who don't ride bus shouldn't pay for new system
Proponents of a merger between the Lawrence Public Transit system and KU on Wheels say it would provide students with better public transportation for free. But a merger could in fact more than triple student fees — and not just for those who ride the bus.
Currently students pay a "campus transportation fee" of $16 per semester. At last week's meeting between city and University officials, the consulting firm working on the merger suggested that the fee be increased to $50 per semester.
system on a daily basis, meaning 78 percent of students would have to pay more for a service they don't regularly use.
University officials see the move as potentially easing the congested traffic that flows through the University on a daily basis. They want to encourage students to take the bus instead of driving, but for those who will continue to drive or walk to campus, the move is simply a waste of money.
A fee that would more than triple the amount already provided by students just seems foolish. While a merger is far from finalized, the University should make other plans. Students are tired of footing the bill.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Vote for the candidate not the political party
"Democrats, the saviors of the United States." It's the new slogan of the party. At least that is what they would like us to believe.
Now, I am not a Republican and this is not an article proposing that we allow the GOP free reign. Heck, I have hoped they would lose the majority since the Patriot Act was first thought up. However, where do we get off espousing the idea that the Republicans are the spawn of the devil?
For that matter where do Democrats or their supporters get off spreading the idea that the only hope we have to halt the avalanche of events that have occurred in the past two years is to elect a solid Democratic majority for the next two I keep seeing articles and commentary that scream to vote Democrat, no matter if their goals vastly differ from your own.
Both parties love pulling out the scandal card and have turned from talking about important issues such as the ever-shrinking social security fund, unemployment, crime or public schools. The only answers either party try to think up either cater to their voting bases or are calculated to needle the other side.
The answers to this country's problems do not lie solely in school vouchers or more extensive taxes on the lower- or middle-income brackets. Nor do they lie in more or longer standardized exams for which students have to study instead of trying to learn.
I agree with Lou Dobbs' recent assertion that both the Republicans
and the Democrats rely on the claim they represent the majority. However, that majority is derived from a smaller and smaller part of our nation's population. We no longer vote. We no longer try to have a say in what laws govern us. How can we complain about a government in which the true majority no longer participates?
The American people no longer have politicians who are moderate or talk about solutions because we stopped participating. The only people left to participate are those of the extreme right or left. We stand by as those left to participate legislate morality.
Both the Republicans and the Democrats have issues. Neither party is as pure as driven snow. Both have their corruption.
In the end if you vote Democrat, fine. If you vote Republican, whatever. Just please have a reason and a purpose for your vote. Do not vote solely to remove an incumbent from office.
Have a goal for your candidate. Find out about your candidate. What is the candidate's voting record? What are their platforms? Do not vote because of the party affiliation. Vote for your own personal reasons, and if you do not find the right candidate within the Democratic or Republican parties, vote for whomever else there is or write someone in.

Theft ruins KU visit
My wife and I, my cousin and her son and several of our friends attended the Kansas-Colorado game this weekend. Generally, I park in an alley close to the stadium and pay the $15 or $20 necessary. However, this time we parked in Lot 50, up by the School of Education building. Someone stole my cooler from the back of my pickup truck.
40 years of parking in alleys and in yards near and around the stadium and losing nothing, when I finally park in a KU pay lot, my small beer cooler gets stolen. Thanks, guys. This has left me with a great feeling about game day on the hill.

COMMENTARY
Last week two men traveling to campuses across the country "preaching" to students paid Wesco Beach a visit. In essence, these guys were cheap knock-offs of Fred Phelps. They are on the junior varsity hate team.
I put quotation marks around a lot of these words because this is what they were claiming to do, though no one actually believes them.
Phelips, and the few who "teach" and picket like he does, have worn out their "Anything you are or do means you're going to hell" message, and they have also exploited our First Amendment.
As I said, the two men who came last Wednesday are minor league haters in regard to Phelps and his following. The anti-homosexual message that Phelps won't shut up about has become absurd. His most notorious antic has become picketing the funerals of American soldiers killed in action — his "logic" being the soldiers are going to hell
because they defended a country that harbors homosexuals.
Lindsey Shirach, sales manager
864-4462 or lshirach@kansan.com
I expect Phelps and his following would pick my funeral, because I'm a Kansas City Chiefs fan. The Chiefs primary color is red, and when red is mixed with blue it turns purple. And purple was the color of the Teletubby everyone said was gay. Thus, I am obviously going to hell.
The logic is stupid. I don't know why they chose sign making and chants as a career. It is not very lucrative, and their signs have shown a limited vocabulary. Here is an idea: Get a real job.
Let's take a look at another aspect of picketing, preaching and protest- ing. Many of us who have been subjected to the three P's have said, "How can they do that?" or "How can they say that?"
Although the message is often hateful, our First Amendment allows for it. As a columnist and
comedian, I value our country's First Amendment and my right to say whatever I want. Without free speech, I'd be out two jobs.
Phelps also enjoys the First Amendment. It allows him to steal people's attention for five seconds as they read his one-liners while he pickets some random event. Some have argued that Phelps has done more for the First Amendment than most people in history. He has pushed the envelope to a level no one else has and gotten away with it.
Malcolm Gibson, general manager, news adviser
864-7667 or mgibson@kansan.com
Jennifer Weaver, sales and marketing adviser
864-7666 or jwever@kansan.com
However, Phelps and the traveling ramblers from Wescoe Beach are not using the First Amendment for good — they are using the right as a weapon to target those they think are inferior.
There isn't much we can do to stop people like Phelps and the two gentlemen who wore ugly red shirts and yelled at us last Wednesday. We can just laugh at their ignorance.
The yelling Wescoe beach guy and his steward the cameraman didn't have much success with their attempt to be remembered, though. I forgot their names when I was writing this article.

Moral nation should help Darfur
The ejection of the United Nations envoy last week is one more attempt by the Sudanese government to conceal its genocide. We must stand up against the genocide in Darfur.
If we are to be the moral nation that we so often claim to be, then we cannot stand by and let one group of people wipe out another group of people.
When we signed the U.N. charter, we vowed to intervene when any genocide occurred. Since the United States has labeled the situation in Sudan as a genocide we are compelled to act.
We cannot call ourselves moral or Christian and simultaneously take no action to stop the wholesale slaughter of one group of people by another when we have the power to stop it. The U.S. has the strongest
military in the world. The responsibility to protect the powerless falls on the powerful. We have the power to end the suffering of millions. We must act.
If we are to be a moral nation in this world then we must stand up against immorality anywhere.

Did you know that there is a lot more of Kansas on the other side of Wichita? If you think that Colorado starts 10 miles west of Wichita, pay attention. I would like to tell all KU students that you live in Kansas now. Regardless of where you lived before, you live here now and you should know the basic geography of the state.
COMMENTARY
If you're here you should know Kansas
I used to go to Dodge City Community College. That doesn't make me any less smart than you. That doesn't mean I wasn't ready for a "real" college. People who go to community colleges other than Johnson County Community College are getting just as good an education as people at JCCC. "JuCo" means any junior college, so if you say, "I used to go to JuCo," and someone asks, "Which one?" You should respond with "JCCC." I've seen many KU students get blank looks on their faces when placed in that situation.

Now that I've brought up the cowboy culture, I want to remind my readers that not everyone in western Kansas is a cowboy. I hate country music with a passion. We do not wear cowboy hats to work. Most people don't even own cowboy hats. In western Kansas, we don't ride horses. We drive cars or, most likely, large trucks. We also have Internet. You wouldn't believe that I once had a professor who didn't think we had Internet in western Kansas.
Dodge City is in Kansas, not Texas. I can't count how many times KU students ask me where I'm from and I tell them, "I'm from Spearville, near Dodge City." They respond with "So you're from Texas." Dodge City was the setting of the hugely popular television and radio show "Gunsmoke." The show was about living and settling the American West. In short, it was about cowboys and gunfights.

Bush campaign trip may help Ryun
BY SAM HANANEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush is expected to make a last-minute campaign trip to Kansas this weekend for Republican Rep. Jim Ryun, who acknowledged for the first time Tuesday that his race against Democrat Nancy Boyda is close.
An e-mail message sent Monday
from the Kansas Republican Party to GOP candidates around the state said Bush would lead a rally for Ryun on Sunday in Topeka. The message obtained by The Associated Press, said the White House wants as many GOP candidates as possible on stage with the president.
A White House spokesman declined to comment, saying Bush's official schedule for the weekend has not yet been finalized.
Ryun, seeking a sixth term in Congress, is facing a tougher-than-anticipated race in his rematch with Boyd, whom he defeated with 56 percent of the vote in 2004.
Boyda has insisted for weeks that her internal polls show the race is much closer than Ryun or national officials in either party have thought, though there have been no independent polls to confirm it.
Asked Tuesday whether his internal polling shows the race neck- and-neck, Ryun said, "We have said that, yes."
"It's a close race," Ryun said after a rally at the Statehouse in Topeka. "But I think if people will read the issues — she's afraid to take a position on issues, because when she does, she votes as a liberal Democrat would."
Bush's visit would come less than four weeks after Vice President Dick Cheney hosted a Topeka fundraiser on Oct. 12 that hauled in $200,000 for Riyun...
STATE ELECTIONS
Sebelius' media use trumps opponent's
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius spent almost $3.8 million on television and radio ads in the past three months, nearly nine times as much as Republican challenger Jim Barnett.
The spending allowed Sebelius to air 10 television spots portraying herself as a strong leader. She entered the final week of her re-election campaign with a commanding TV and radio presence.
The other, a 30-second spot, features many of the same images, with a narrator saying, "You can see it, all around you. Kansas is moving forward."
Her campaign began airing two new commercials statewide Tuesday, bringing the total to 10 for the campaign. A 60-second spot — her longest of the campaign — has soothing music and images of Kansans with text saying, among other things, "Living up to her promise to help move Kansas forward."
"It demonstrates the power of television in modern American politics, especially in statewide races," said Bob Beatty, a Washburn University political scientist. "You have to reach those people who are not connected to public affairs but who are still going to vote. Despite the Internet and everything else, that's still television."
Sebelius was able to outstrip Barnett in broadcast advertising because she raised a record $5.18 million for her campaign, starting in 2005, compared with less than $1.19 million for Barnett. Her first TV ads began airing before the Aug. 1 primary.
Barnett spent $434,900 on radio and TV advertising from July 21 through Oct. 26, the period covered by the last campaign finance report filed with the secretary of state's office.
Barnett, a senator from Emporia, has chided Sebelius repeatedly for using "slick" TV commercials to get her message across, suggesting she's exaggerating the strength of the state's economic recovery since the Sept. 11,2001 attacks. Using federal statistics, he contends the state is lagging too far behind its neighbors and the rest of the nation.
Barnett spokesman Rodger Woods said Sebelius must "convince Kansans that the reality is different from what they're seeing in their checkbooks and pay stubs."
"The fundraising and the television commercials don't come as a surprise," Woods said. "Her lack of leadership — she has to make that up with television."
Sebelius' last campaign finance report says she paid a production company about $74,000 and the remaining $3.7 million buying air time.
"It takes a lot of money to reach out with the governor's message," said Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran. "The themes in our ads have been pretty consistent, talking about economy, job growth, leadership on schools, respect for our military and the governor's efforts to move Kansas forward."
Independent polling showed Sebelius with a comfortable lead. She has picked up most newspapers' endorsements.
Besides enjoying a huge advantage in fundraising, Sebelius also received help from the state Democratic Party and committees associated with it.
The party donated nearly $60,000 worth of staffing services, and two committees contributed nearly $36,000 worth of research.
Sebelius also paid for additional staff services from the party worth nearly $26,000, plus purchased a voter list worth nearly $13,000, her latest campaign finance report shows.

I'll try to provide as much detail as possible from the image. Since I cannot read or recognize text, I'll just describe what is visible.
The person in the photo appears to be a young male with short hair, wearing a light-colored jacket and holding a rifle or a similar weapon. The background is dark and blurry, making it difficult to determine the exact setting or environment.
If there are any other details not clearly visible in the image, please let me know so I can provide an accurate description.
Landon Lukens, Medicine Lodge junior, plans to travel back to his home town next week to hunt for quail on the Lukens family land, roughly 12,000 acres of grass and farmland. Lukenes, who began hunting as soon as he was old enough to hold a shurgtun, purposely arranged his class schedule this semester to allow him extra travel time to return home for the opening of the quail season.

Brett Klepper, Great Bend senior, will travel home from Lawrence this weekend for the opening of pleasant season. Klepper grew up hunting with family and friends, and making the three-hour journey home for each season has become an important tradition for Klepper since moving away from Great Bend.
Students head home to hunt
Opening of hunting season is like holiday tradition for some
BY TYLER KLAUS
Brett Klepper will leave campus after work at 5 p.m. today to make the three-hour trip back to his hometown. It's not the common student trip home for a holiday or religious occasion; it's for a different kind of tradition.
Nov. 4 marks the opening day of pheasant season in Kansas and that means outdoor fun with friends and family for Klepper.
"We do it every year," Klepper, Great Bend senior, said. "It's the only time when we all really get together."
In each of the 21-year-old's past three years of college, he has gone home for opening day. He went back while he attended Butler County Community College during his first two years and then returned home from the University of Kansas the following year after he transferred to major in human biology.
Usually, he hunts with his father, uncle, brother and about seven other friends.
His father, Daryl, said he and his son wouldn't spend nearly as much time with each other if they didn't hunt together.
One member of their hunting group owns about 2,000 acres located 20 miles north and 10 miles west of Great Bend. Starting with the best patches at first
light, they normally hunt the majority of the fields on Saturday. On Sunday, they hunt Klepper's land, which is 10 or 12 miles east of Hoisington, near Claflin.
"I love hunting. It's fun to be around everybody and outdoors," Klepper said. "The hunting doesn't even have to be that good either."
With teamwork and the help of three dogs, the group bagged 20 pheasants last year. Pheasants, also known as ring-necks, are a colorful game bird that has been popular since they were stocked in Kansas in 1905. According to the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, pheasant production in the eastern part of Southwest Kansas was better than in the western part, but still below the long-term average. This means the hunting will not be as good as in past years, but still good.
"I love doing the small-town stuff that you can't do up here," Lukens said.
Landon Lukens, Medicine Lodge junior, hunts mostly for quail. The quail season opens a week after pheasant season. Lukens purposely did not schedule any classes on Fridays because he wanted an extra day to take the three-and-a-half hour trip home to bird hunt. He also hunts for coyotes during their year-round season. He mainly hunts for quail and coyotes because there are not many pheasants around his area. During the season, he goes home at least two weeks a month.
Last year, he hunted with his father and Nolan Pevehouse, an old family friend who sold him his first bird dog. Like Klepper, he started hunting as soon as he could hold a shotgun. The thing that attracted Lukens to the sport was his dogs.
"The best part is watching a good dog work." Lukens said. "I put a lot of work into my dogs in the summer, and I want to watch them hunt."
Aside from holidays, it is the only time he spends with his family.
"Well, it's most of our father-son time since he's left and gone to school." Ted Lukens, Lukens' father, said.
Seventy-five-year-old Pevhouse, Muskogee said hunting has had a big effect on his relationship with Lukens.
"It's so much better because of hunting. He's like one of my own."
According to the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, across Southcentral Kansas there will be "similar or moderately greater" numbers
The Lukens family owns about 12,000 acres of grass and farmland. It can be found roughly 10 to 30 miles north of Medicine Lodge and 30 miles north of the Oklahoma border. This group of hunters each shot their daily limit of eight quail last year on opening day.
of quail than last fall. That means that the hunting will be excellent again this year. Quail are a smaller game bird that have the same season as pheasants, but hunting starts a week later.
Lukens' father said the tradition sometimes affects the holiday family gatherings.
"Lots of times were late to Thanksgiving dinner because we've been out hunting," he said.
Whether it's for pheasant's, quail or coyotes, the hunting season is a tradition that brings together friends and family for fun in the outdoors.

and will not play Saturday.
Without Hicks, Iowa State loses more than 65 percent of its rushing offense. Nearly half of its receiving yards will be lost if both Blythe and Davis miss Saturday's game.
Kansas will still have to face Iowa State's All-Big 12 quarterback Brett Meyer. The junior averages more than 220 yards a game passing, but just 18 yards a game rushing. While his rushing numbers are down from previous seasons, Meyer does have six rushing touchdowns.
Luckily for the Jayhawks, they've already seen several mobile quarterbacks this season.
"You just have to focus more on the quarterback," Talib said. "When we play a mobile quarterback our defensive ends just have to focus on containing the quarterback."

and Kaun. If Giles doesn't return, which is looking more likely by the dav. jackson could take his place.
Rush would be the shortest Jayhawk on the court, but Wright could actually assume the point guard duties. Although he played in the front court most of last season, he has become more comfortable on the perimeter and even said he was looking forward to dishing out plenty of assists this season, which would allow his teammates to do the scoring.
"Julian is one of the most versatile players we have who can go inside and outside," Chalmers said. "As a big man, he's one of the best passers I've ever seen."
Wright said the addition of Arthur would allow him to play more on the perimeter, but that may have to wait until one of Kansas' big men returns.
Neither Kaun or Giles are likely to return before the Florida game on Nov. 25, but if the Jayhawks and Gators meet again, Kansas could match up with Billy Donovan's team much better.
While Florida has only five players taller than 6-7, it has four players who are either 6-6 or 6-7. Kansas, with six
players taller than 6-7, could force Florida to trust its big men to keep up with Rush and Wright and control the paint against low-post players like Jackson, Kaun and Arthur.
In the Big 12, Texas & M&M also has six players taller than 6-7. If the Aggies try to go big against the Jayhaws, Self will be able to match them.
This lineup could also benefit Kansas in March. The lack of a low-post presence hurt Kansas against Bradley last season when opposing center Patrick O'Bryant collected a game-high 10 rebounds and none of Kansas's post players blocked a shot.
So, providing Kansas can avoid any further injuries or suspensions, the Jayhawks will have a roster to be reckoned with.
"You never know. We might go big, we might go small, but it just depends on who's playing and how good we're playing," Jackson said.

Father's cancer shakes KU player
PROFILE
BY JEFF DETERS
Minutes after Kansas lost to Texas Tech on Saturday night, junior hitter Emily Brown stood courtside at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center with her parents, Dan and Jill Brown, at her side.
Brown had just finished a 15-kill, 17-dig performance in the "Dig for the Cure" match, which raised money for the fight against breast cancer, and was getting a drink of water when she tugged at the pink band on her right arm. As she tried to explain the significance of the band, her eyes filled with tears. She struggled to maintain composure, but it was too much. More tears fell when Emily explained, "My dad was diagnosed with cancer."
She vividly recalled the day her father told her the news. It was Feb. 5, the same day the Kansas men's basketball team defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 59-58 at Allen Fieldhouse.
"My mom called right before the game started," Emily said. "She knew I was going to be there, so I knew it was kind of weird that she called. And she was like 'Hey, why don't you come home today?' I could tell something was wrong."
Emily went home to Baldwin after the game. With her whole family present, she listened to the devastating news that her dad had stage three colon cancer. Dan knew immediately from Emily's emotional reaction that she took the news especially hard.
Brown missed the team's 6 a.m.
weightlifting session the next day, and later told her teammates the news. Senior outside hitter Jana Correa remembers that moment.
"I remember when she was coming to practice she had a sad face and we knew she was crying," Corraea said. "When that happened I talked to her and said if you need anything from me, I'll be here. And I think that's what our team did. We were like, if you need anything we'll be praying for you."
Since Dan was diagnosed, Emily has watched her father undergo surgery, radiation and chemotherapy treatments. The surgery forced Dan to miss six weeks at his job with the Kansas Highway Patrol.
Dan finished his post-operative treatments in July and is now cancer-free. The doctors were optimistic the cancer would not return, but Dan said he must be on a monitoring program for the rest of his life.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said Emily coped with her father's illness as admirably as she could.
"It's a tight-knit family," Bechard said. "It was obviously a major adjustment she had to make because it kind of came out of nowhere. Every person handles that differently. She has a lot of teammates and staff that support her to the fullest."
Correa was amazed that throughout Dan's illness, Emily did not let it affect her play on the court.
"She always gave her best in practice even though she was going through a rough time."
Emily said having such great support of friends and family eased the pain of her father's illness.
"She knows how to separate things pretty well," Correa said.
Her mother, Jill, managed many of the day-to-day activities of the Brown family while Dan was ill.
"She's very understanding." Dan said. "She would help take the load off and keep things quiet around the house when I needed it. She's been an anchor."
Jill, a former Kansas volleyball player, said that while caring for Dan was difficult, she found relief by traveling to many of their children's
sporting events, including track meets at the University of Arkansas, where their son Eric threw javelin.
Though Dan and Jill will not be traveling to Austin, Texas, for tonight's Kansas vs. Texas volleyball game, they were both proud their daughter had overcome a difficult family situation.
"I'm very proud of her," Dan said.
"I know she's bounced back."

VOLLEYBALL
Talented Longhorns to be tough match
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team will look for a road upset tonight when they take on the Texas Longhorns in Austin. While the Jayhawks are all but eliminated from postseason play, the Longhorns have shown signs of being a championship-caliber team.
"They've obviously got as talented
a roster as anybody in this country," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "They've been a little bit inconsistent because they're young and had some injuries, but their best volleyball is ahead of them."
Texas (15-5, 10-3 Big 12) swept Kansas (10-12, 3-10) in Lawrence earlier this season. After the game, the team said Texas was the best team they had faced.
Kansas heads to Texas after a five-game loss to Texas Tech on Saturday.
Our loss to Texas Tech was really bad on Saturday" Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said, "For me, I have one more month in my career, and I just need to enjoy my right now and give my best to this team."
While the Jayhawks have yet to be mathematically eliminated from
making the NCAA tournament, it is a long shot. Kansas must win five of its final seven matches to even be considered for the tournament.

》PARENTHESIS
烟火
1. 厨房里的烟味大。原因可能是灶台上的油污堵塞了烟道，烟雾中的油脂和油污在加热时发生化学反应，导致烟雾弥漫。
2. 超人站在卫生间里，用一根长长的管子喷水。超人可能正在清洁厕所的地面或者马桶，避免细菌滋生。
3. 超人站在浴室门口，手握一束玫瑰花。他可能正在整理自己的衣物，准备去洗澡。
4. 超人站在阳台，手里拿着一个充电宝。超人可能正在准备带回家使用的电池，以应对即将到来的暴雨。

ENTERTAINMENT Bob Barker announces
retirement from television
LOS ANGELES — Bob Barker is heading toward his last showcase, his final "Come on down."
The silver-haired daytime-TV
icon is retiring in June, he told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
"I will be 83 years old on December 12," he said, "and I've decided to retire while I'm still young."
He'll hang up his microphone after 35 years as the host of "The
Price Is Right* and 50 years overall in television.
Though he has been considering retirement for "at least 10 years," Barker said he has so much fun doing the show that he hasn't been able to leave.

Kansas learns from Colorado game's mistakes
COLORADO

Kansan file photo
Monica Dolinsky (10), freshman midfielder, moves past Nikki Keller (6), sophomore midfielder during Friday's game against Colorado. Kansas lost the game 4-0, but used the loss as a learning experience.
BY MARK DENT
Two days before Halloween. Kansas coach Mark Francis put together his own scary movie to frighten his players.
The film ran for 11 minutes and contained "all of the horrendous things" Kansas did during its 4-0 loss against Colorado.
"There wasn't a sound in the room," Francis said. "At the end I was like, 'That was pretty bad,' and they said, 'Oh veah.'"
Francis will see if his directorial expertise can spark the Jayhawks (11-7, 6-4) to avenge Friday's loss when they face the Buffaloes again in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament at 1:30 p.m. today in San Antonio, Texas.
Today's game comes a mere five days after Kansas played its worst game since 2001 and ended a fourgame winning streak. Colorado's four
goals were more than Kansas' defense had allowed in all other Big 12 games combined.
"When you're that much of a nightmare, there's not a whole lot you have to say as a coach," Francis said. "The players know."
Although the loss to the Buffalooes was not a positive for the Jayhawks, the players said it couldn't have come at a better time. They said it provided motivation for Kansas before its most important game this season.
"I think we kind of have the upper hand just 'cause they killed us", junior defender Afton Sauer said. "We've got nothing to lose, so we're going to come out hard."
Winning in the Big 12 Tournament didn't come easy for the Jayhawks last year. Kansas met Nebraska in the first round of the tournament and lost 3-1 after allowing two goals in the first half.
After winning the Big 12 regular
season championship in 2004, the Jayhawks struggled again in the tournament. Texas upset Kansas in the semifinal round, and that marked the only time in the last three seasons the Jayhawks have advanced past the first round of the tournament.
"It's really crucial that we do well in this tournament," sophomore midfielder Jessica Bush said. "How well we do will determine our future in the NCAAs."
Last year, Kansas had a nearly identical record at 11-6-1, 6-3-1 when it headed into the Big 12 Tournament. After their loss to the Cornhuskers in the first round, the Jayhawks were not chosen for the NCAA Tournament. With similar circumstances this year, Wednesday's game could potentially be the last game of the season for Kansas if it loses.
"If we don't win Wednesday, our season is probably over," Francis said.
"We have to show up to win and obviously to do that, we'll have to play better."
Notes
Senior forward Holly Gault, sophomore midfielder Jessica Bush, sophomore midfielder Missy Geha and sophomore defender Jenny Murtaugh were named to the All-Big 12 Second Team. Freshman forward Monica Dolinksy and freshman defender Estelle Johnson was named to the All-Big 12 Newcomer Team.
— Nebraska forward Brittany Timko and Oklahoma State midfielder Yolanda Odenyo shared Big 12 Player of the Year honors.

The City
Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio has been the site of the Big 12 Tournament for 10 straight years. In addition to the Alamo, San Antonio is also known for its downtown RiverWalk and good weather. The forecasted high for today is 78 degrees.
The Contenders
Oklahoma State (15-2-2, 8-1-1)
Texas A&M (13-4-1, 9-1) — The Aggies have been the Big 12's version of Brazil the last couple of years, with two consecutive Big 12 Tournament championships. But this year's team scores enough to make even Ronaldini blush. A&M averaged a ridiculous 3.1 goals per game in a conference where no other team averaged even two goals.
Texas (15-3-1, 8-1-1) - Must the Longhorns be good at every sport? It wouldn't be a stretch to see Texas win this tournament and
- A second-place finish for the Cowgirls isn't quite Bruce-Willisat-the-end-of-The-Sixth-Sense shocking, but it is close. Oklahoma State finished in eighth place last season but has lost only to Texas A&M this year during its magical conference run.
Kansas (11-7, 6-4) — Here's the good news: The Jayhawks have won four out of five games and dominated the Aggies before falling 1-0 in overtime. Now, the bad: Against good teams Kansas records lower scores than Tiger Woods. The Jayhawks went scoreless against the Longhorns, Aggies, Cowgirls and
The Plavers
Nikki Marshall, F, Colorado — This freshman leads the Big 12 in goals with 14 and put four through the net earlier this season against Clemson.
Colorado (11-5-2, 6-4-1) — The Buffaloes, who lost to the Aggies in overtime in last year's Big 12 championship game, reached as high as No. 11 in the national rankings before struggling early during conference play. Since losing its third-straight game at bottom-feeder Missouri, Colorado has responded with four straight victories heading into San Antonio.
Julie Hanley, GK, Kansas — Surprisingly left off the All Big 12 team despite leading the conference in goals-against average in Big 12 play. Hanley can single-handedly win games for Kansas.
Brittany Timko, F, Nebraska — This three-time Big 12 Player of the Year belongs to an elite group with 41 goals and 42 assists in her career.
Buffaloes.
Amy Berend, MF, Texas A&M
Amy Berend, MI, Texas A&M — Want to know how dangerous Berend is? Just ask a Jayhawk defender about how she rifled a 25-footer with pinpoint accuracy to sink Kansas in overtime.
Kasey Moore, D, Texas -- Last year's Big 12 Rookie of the Year, Moore is the leader of the Longhorns' defense that allows only 3.6 shots on goal per game.
The Prediction
Join Us for a Special Event at Alderson Auditorium Level 4, Kansas Union
Texas A&M over Texas — The Longhorns did upset the Aggies earlier this season, but they won't beat one of the country's top teams twice. A&M has already proved itself by defeating top teams such as North Carolina and Illinois in nonconference play; rolling through Big 12 play and will make another statement by taking home their thirdstraight Big 12 Championship.

Exhibition to predict season's stars
BY CASE KEEFER
Wednesday night's women's basketball game will offer answers to questions about who the team's starting players will be this season when it plays the Fort Hays State Tigers in its first exhibition game of the season. The game tips off at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.
The main concern is finding players who can match the production of graduated standouts Crystal Kemp, Erica Hallman and Kaylee Brown. One answer could be junior forward Taylor McIntosh, who is a two-year returning starter and averaged 4.5 points and 5 rebounds per game last season.
McIntosh was elected as a co-captain of this year's team along with sophomore guard Ivana Catic. Catic is the squad's top returning scorer with 7.7 points per game. The two captains are this year's only returning starters. McIntosh has noticed the added pressure of leadership, but she relishing the opportunity.
"I've enjoyed taking on the role," she said. "it's harder than I thought, but I'm happy that everyone feels comfortable coming to me with their issues."
Another question is how much the Jayhawks' seven freshmen will be able to contribute immediately. The standout performance from the team's Late Night At The Phog scrimmage came from freshman guard Lindsay Ballweg, who led the blue team to victory with five points.
Another freshman guard, Michigan's Kelly Kohn, played well with four points and an assist. The third freshman guard, LaChelda Jacobs, is also expected to see a fair amount of playtime against the Tigers. Jacobs is confident that she and her fellow freshmen will prove why they were ranked the 20th recruiting class in the nation by AllStar Girls Report.
"I think definitely the coaches have high expectations for us. We just have to come out there and not be nervous and play our game," Jacobs said.
Sophomore forward Marija Zinic, who averaged 19.1 minutes off the bench last season, will lead the Jayhawks' frontcourt. Junior Jamie Boyd and 6-foot-2 freshman center Rebecca Feickert will join Zinic as the primary weapons down low.
Fort Hays State faces many of the same challenges as the Jayhawks. Its roster includes two returning starters and five freshmen.
Two of the 'Tigers' freshmen, Raychel Boling and Kayla Klug, are highly touted athletes who participated in the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association's all-star game this summer. Klug and Boling should provide an indication of exactly where Kansas players like Jacobs and Ballweg are at this point.
The Tigers have enjoyed two consecutive 20-win seasons in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Fort Hays State leads the all time series

Sohomore cornerback Aqib Talib and the Kansas defense will get the chance to prove whether they have really improved when they face Iowa State on Saturday.
Defense to test its strength
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
The Kansas defense claims it has made a transition.
Gone is the defense that surrendered leads in four straight games. In its place is the defense that didn't allow a touchdown in the game against Colorado.
But whether the defense will revert to its old, disappointing form should be revealed Saturday against a reeling Iowa State square. With the Cyclones struggling, the Jayhawk defense thinks it can take advantage and prove last week wasn't a fluke.
"I'm really pleased with the progress on all areas of the defense"
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "The pass defense continues to improve."
The key for the pass defense seems to be repetitions.
Sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib said he's seen Kansas' younger defensive players make the same transition he made just a year ago.
"The more games you play, the slower the games get," Talib said. "As a defense, we just maturing."
Aside from the Jayhawks continued improvement on defense, Kansas should also benefit by facing an Iowa State squad that has been decimated by injuries to key offensive players.
Iowa State coach Dan McCarney said All-Big 12 wide receiver Todd Blythe is "day-to-day" still dealing with the effects of an undisclosed virus. He did not play last week against Kansas State, but McCarney thinks Blythe might play this weekend against the Jayhawks. Blyte leads the Cyclones with 436 yards receiving and seven touchdowns.
Also expected to miss Saturday's game is starting wide receiver Jon Davis, who suffered a collapsed lung against Kansas State. Starting running back Stevie Hicks underwent surgery on his right knee Tuesday

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Diverse heights provide strong lineup rotations
BY SHAWN SHROYER
As the first tip off of the season nears for coach Bill Self, his options are becoming more limited. But barring any future injuries or suspensions, Kansas could possess one of the most dynamic lineups in the country.
While Self's starting five will normally consist of returning starters Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers.
BASKETBALL PREVIEW
The Kansan tips this year's basketball season on Thursday with the annual basketball preview issue.
Brandon Rush, Julian Wright and Sasha Kaun, the depth on this year's roster will allow Self to get creative with the players he puts on the court together.
MOTION LAB
"Coach is going to try to do some new things just to see how he can use all of our talents," Wright said.
Find out about all your
favorite players and coaches on both the men's and women's teams as the 2006-07 season meets underway.
Although Kansas will have to play small until Kaun returns from a knee injury, Kansas could use rotations that include no player taller than 6-foot-8 or no player shorter than 6-foot-6. Such lineups would prove problematic for Kansas competition.
As of right now, Self will be without junior centers Kaun and C.J. Giles, who are 6-11 and 6-10. He will be forced to play an undersized lineup, with either 6-8 junior Darnell Jackson or 6-9 freshman Darrell Arthur at center, but he could go even smaller.
If Self wants a lineup fit to run opponents out of the gym, he could go with junior guard Robinson, sophomore guard Chalmers, freshman guard Sherron Collins, sophomore guard Rush, and sophomore forward Wright.
Rush and Wright would force opposing low-post defenders to play uncomfortable far from the basket, while Robinson, Chalmers and Collins pressure opposing guards to play flawless on offense and defense. One mistake and the trio will lead a fast break the other way or drive the lane in Kansas' half court set.
Rush and Wright would be the tallest players on the court at 6-6 and 6-8. For fans waiting to see Kansas run the floor, this lineup is a dream come true.
In conference play, such a lineup could come in handy against Texas, which has only four players taller than 6-foot-7. Three are freshman and the fourth is a sophomore. With such inexperience, Texas could be tempted to play with a small lineup. Of the eight remaining players on Texas' roster, five are underclassmen. The experience of Robinson, Chalmers, Rusk and Wright, along with the talent of Collins, could easily overwhelm the Longhorns.
Nationally, North Carolina sits one step ahead of Kansas in the ESPN USA Today Coachs Poll
This lineup might also save Kansas' NCAA tournament woes. In the last two seasons, Kansas has shot 8-for-29 from three-point range and, in effect, beounced from the tourney in the first round both years.
It's no secret that Tar Heel coach Roy Williams loves to run and he may have to with a team that has only five players — and three freshmen — taller than 6-foot-7. If Kansas and North Carolina ever meet this season, Williams won't be able to outrun the lavwhacks.
and could also play with a smaller lineup.
Robinson, Chalmers and Rush have a 38.5 career-shooting-percentage from three and Collins was a threat from behind the arc in high school. With an improved shot, Wright could make this group even more dangerous from downtown.
The only problem with such a lineup is that, one basketball might not be enough for five players with a knack for scoring to share.
We're got guys who play really well with the ball.

To solve this problem — when and if all of his options are available — Self could go with a lineup consisting of Rush, Wright, Arthur, Giles

COURTS
Smoking ban appeal heads to top judges
A legal brief was filed with the Kansas Supreme Court yesterday on behalf of Dennis Steffes, owner of two Lawrence bars.
BY NATE MCGINNIS
The brief appeals a Douglas County District Court decision that upholds the city-wide smoking ban.
Steffes, owner of Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., and Covotes,
1003 E. 23rd St., argued in his original lawsuit that the ordinance's language was unconstitutionally vague and preempted by Kansas law.
Steffes' cited a Kansas statute that stated people were limited to smoking in designated areas decided by the proprietor of a public place. It also states physical barriers and ventilation systems should be used to minimize the effects of cigarette smoke.
William Rork, Steffes' attorney, said the city of Lawrence unconstitutionally penalized businesses when it instituted the ban. He said he hoped to ultimately settle the issue by bringing it to the state's supreme court.
"It will be a sorry day if we lose, because it lets the city legislate morals in an improper fashion," Rork said.
Toni Wheeler, interim director of legal services for the city of Lawrence, refused to comment on the exact content of the brief because she had not yet received a copy, but she said that the city would vigorously defend the ordinance and that she looked forward to presenting to the Kansas Supreme Court.
In the 35-page legal document, Steffes argues the Kansas Supreme Court should overturn the lower court's decision that the ordinance is
not preempted by state law. He also argued that the law was unconstitutionally vague.
According to the brief, in July of 2005 Steffes first filed a petition for declaratory and injunctive relief to invalidate and restrain the city smoking ban until the case could be heard. The court denied his petition in December of 2005. Steffes filed a motion in January of 2006 to reconsider the decision, which the
court also denied in May of 2006. Steffes filed a notice of appeal to the Kansas court of appeals in June of 2006 and in August of 2006 the Kansas Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.

Kline gets records as attorney general election nears
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Kline was unavailable for comment for this story.
After a two-year battle, Attorney General Phill Kline announced Wednesday that he had received 90 records from patients at two abortion clinics in Wichita and Overland Park.
The purpose of using the records is to track child rapists, later-term abortion violations and child abuse and rape that is not reported, said Sherriene Jones, spokeswoman for Kline's campaign.

Jones explained that Kline received the records without the women's and children's personal information. The women and children are not under investigation, she said.

Both Kline and Morrison have numerous plans to address violence and crime in the state as attorney general.
Morrison said there was a tremendous
amount of work to be done that was not being addressed, namely the issue of domestic violence, which he said Kline had virtually ignored. He also said Kline had not addressed cyber crime during his tenure as Attorney General.

FIRE
Edited by Travis Robinett
Capt. Joe Hoelscher of Douglas County Fire and Medical said downtown buildings typically met the fire codes, but because of the era in which they were built, many buildings share adjoining walls. Only the building that houses Framewoods and the apartments closest to the fire were evacuated. The fire was dealt with promptly. There was little damage and there were no injuries.
Pillar, who lives in an apartment above Massachusetts Street, stood outside in the morning sun while firefighters talked to Dave Seal, the owner of Framewoods, on the rooftop where the fire started. Seal said that the cause of the fire was a roof-mounted heater in which one or more of the fan belts had overheated.
"A gas valve stuck open and the heater was left on all night," Seal said. "There wasn't much smoke damage."
Seal said the heater had been worked on the day before the incident.
CRIME
Trial date set for alleged rape case
BY DAVID LINHARDT
District court judge Michael Malone decided at a preliminary hearing Wednesday that Douglas County prosecutors presented sufficient evidence for a University of Kansas student to stand trial for allegedly raping a McCollum Hall resident.
Arrin Bernard, an 18-year-old KU student reiterated a plea of not guilty Wednesday to one count of forcing sexual intercourse with a non-consenting person. Bernard will now stand trial March 26.
The judge's decision followed the second of two hearings in which testimony was heard from the alleged victim and from Gall Ciesielski, a Lawrence Memorial Hospital nurse who specializes in examining victims of sexual assault.
Bernard's attorney, Greg Robinson, contended that Douglas County assistant district attorney Amy McGowan had not proved that the alleged victim was too intoxicated to have given consent for sex. Judge Malone disagreed and said the McCollum resident was "incapable of giving consent" according to the evidence presented.
This type of injury is generally not consistent with consensual sex. Gieselski said.
Ciesielski said the alleged victim also complained of painful urination and bleeding, and that she had not been bleeding before the alleged incident Aug. 26.
According to the victim's testimony, she had been drinking vodka with several friends Aug. 26 before
Ciesielski said the alleged victim had suffered from a heavy scratch near the opening of her vagina, which often was an indication of "forcible entry of any object into the vagina."

STATE President Bush may or may not appear in Kansa
President George W. Bush was expected to appear in Topeka on Sunday. However, this may no longer be the case.
The president was supposed to appear in support of Jim Ryun, the Republican incumbent running for Congress. The White House Press Secretary reported today that there were no plans for the president to be in Kansas this weekend.
Jeffrey Black, spokesman for Jim Ryan's campaign, could not say whether Bush would be visiting Topeka. But he confirmed that Bush would not be appearing in support of Ryun.
But at least one KU campus organization is expecting a visit from Bush. A staff member at St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center sent out an e-mail on Wednesday that said Ann Ryun, wife of Jim Ryun, had called and asked for volunteers to help with the rally where the president would be present.
Three University of Kansas professors will be prominently featured on an episode of the National Geographic Channel show Naked Science airing at 9 tonight
Black could not confirm that Ann Ryun had called the staff member or St. Lawrence.

Kanson staff reports
around 440 million years ago.
Melott said when the extinction occurred, the earth was primarily underwater. He theorizes a gamma ray burst, a concentrated beam of energy expelled from the collapse of a massive spinning star, hit the earth and destroyed significant parts of the atmosphere. He said the burst destroyed a third of the ozone in the atmosphere, which greatly increased the amount of ultra violet light. This increase in light would killed animals who lived in very shallow water, destroying about eighty percent of planetary life.

Fate of alleged killer in

Lawrence police have finished the investigation into the death of a KU student who was struck by a car Sept. 23. The investigation has been forwarded to the Douglas County district attorney's office.
District Attorney Charles Branson will decide if Joshua Walton, a 24-year-old Lawrence man, will be arrested and charged with striking and killing Ryan Kanost, Manhattan senior.
Walton drove a Toyota Camry through the intersection of 13th and Kentucky early in the morning Sept. 23, and allegedly struck Kanost in a crosswalk. A police report called Walton's driving "reckless and careless." Witnesses said Walton was exceeding the 30-mph speed limit on Kentucky
Assistant District Attorney Amy McGowan said she and Branson had been in a trial all day Wednesday and had not had a chance to view the death investigation report.

ELECTION 2006 Decide for yourself
Candidates focus on health care for small businesses
BY MARK VIERTHALER

Easy access to health care has become a core concern for the three candidates for the Kansas Commissioner of Insurance position.
Republican Sandy Praeger, Democrat Bonnie Sharp and Libertarian Patrick Wilbur have all put a large amount of focus on health care availability for employees of small businesses.
Sharp
Praeger is the one-term incumbent and a former city commissioner for Lawrence.
She also worked on the Kansas Insurance Advisory committee for a decade before running for insurance commissioner.
One of the largest problems
facing the insurance commissioner, she said, had been the under-insured employees of small businesses. She defined these as businesses with 50 or fewer employee
The democratic challenger, Sharp, has served in the Kansas legislature as the Kansas City, Kan., representative for 10 years. She has served on the insurance commission for the past six years.
Sharp said she would like to implement a change in the openness of the commissioner's office. She said people needed to know
"We're hoping to take our current proposal before the legislature in the upcoming months.
SANDY PRAEGER Insurance commissioner
During the past several months, Praeger said she and her staff had been working on a proposal using both federal and state funds to allow smaller businesses to make health insurance more affordable.
"We're hoping to take our current proposal before the legislature in the upcoming months," she said.
Prager is also working to create a "paperless" office, with each employee fully trained in electronic filing and retrieval.
that the position belonged to them.
She also stressed the need to inform college students about what in their lives is dependant on insurance.
She said that
when she was in college, health care was a continual issue for her. When she was pregnant with her child, neither her health insurance nor her husband's carried a maternity rider, she said.
"I'm very empathetic," Sharp said. "One-size insurance doesn't fit all anymore."
Wilbur echoed Praeger's point that there needed to be a complete revamp of health insurance needs for small businesses.
Wilbur, a libertarian, is a Lawrence native and has previously run as the libertarian candidate for the 45th District of the Kansas legislature.
A large number of people who have either no insurance or are under-insured are people who do have jobs, but work for small businesses, Wilbur said.
Traditionally, small businesses have had more hoops to jump through with the IRS, he said, and often they could not offer insurance to their employees.
"It's kind of the 800-pound gorilla in the room," Wilbur said. "I would like to make it easier to obtain coverage."
A health savings account would be the ideal resolution, he said. Similar to a 401k, employees would regularly deposit money in the account for use later in case of emergencies.
Similar to a 401k, the account could also carry over from job to job.
This would be especially helpful for people between jobs, Wilbur said.

Bush: Rumsfeld, Cheney will keep jobs
Calls for Defense Secretary's resignation ignored; Bush secures employment
JOHN F. KENNEDY
BY TERENCE HUNT ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bush said Wednesday he wanted Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, left, and Vice President Dick Cheney, center, to remain in his administration until the end of his presidency. This comment comes after many democrats and republicans have asked for Rumsfeld's resignation under accusations of mishandling the War in Iran.
Ron Edmonds/ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush said Wednesday he wants Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney to remain with him until the end of his presidency, extending a job guarantee to two of the most-vilified members of his administration.
"Both those men are doing fantastic jobs and I strongly support them," Bush said in an interview with The Associated Press and others.
On the war in Iraq, Bush said the military has not asked for an increase in U.S. forces beyond the 144,000 already there. He said U.S. generals have told him "that the troop level they got right now is what they can live with."
On another international issue, Bush said he was determined that sanctions imposed against North Korea must be applied even though Pyongyang has agreed to return to six-nation nuclear disarmament talks.
The president spoke in the Oval Office, seated in a wing chair in front of a table with a bowl of roses. Six days before midterm elections, he steered away from political questions beyond saying he was confident that Republicans would defy the polls and hold control of the House and Senate. "I understand the pundits have got the race over. But I don't believe it's over until everybody votes," Bush said.
Bush did take the opportunity
He refused to say whether he could work effectively with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi or Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid if Democrats won either the House or Senate, or both.
to take another poke at Sen. John Kerry, in political hot water for a remark that the White House has characterized as a slam on U.S. troops in Iraq. Kerry has said he was making a joke critical of Bush, not the troops.
"It didn't sound like a joke to me," the president said.
Democrats
Democrats a n d Republicans alike have called for Rumsfeld's resignation, arguing he has mishandled the war in Iraq where
polling, less than 40 percent of respondents had a favorable view of Cheney and about a third had a favorable view of Rumsfeld.
Bush said he valued Cheney's advice and judgment.
"The good thing about Vice President Cheney's advice is, you don't read about it in the news-
"It didn't sound like a joke to me,"

more than 2,800 members of the U.S. military have died since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003. Cheney has faced sharp criticism for his hardline views. In recent
paper after he gives it," the president said. While Cheney was re-elected with Bush for four years, there has been recurring speculation that he might step
down, perhaps for health reasons. As a practical matter, Bush could ask the vice president to leave if he wanted.

Phill Kline's ethical practices called into question
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Attorney General Phill Kline faced new questions Wednesday about his activities at churches, his campaign fundraising and what he plans to do with newly acquired patient records from two abortion clinics.
Bob Stephan, a former attorney general and fellow Republican who broke politically with Kline less than five weeks ago, asked the state ethics commission to examine Kline's fundraising and activities involving churches.
Among Stephans' issues was a $1,339 donation from a Topeka church to SWT Communications, a company Kline's wife operates. The
donation occurred after Kline spoke at the church in July.
The same event led Washington-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State to seek an investigation Tuesday by the Internal Revenue Service.
Kline spokeswoman Sherriene Jones was confident there are no problems with such activities.
Meanwhile, Pedro Irigonegaray, a Topeka attorney representing the two abortion clinics, said he feared Kline, an abortion opponent, would raid those clinics to create potential "photo opportunities." He made the comment a day after Kline confirmed receiving edited versions of the records of 90 patients.
"We will provide the ethics commission with anything they request if they decide to look into Mr. Stephan's letter," she said.
Kline called the statements "reckless and knowingly false."
He began a new television ad Tuesday night defending his two-year pursuit of the records of 90 patients as necessary to investigate rapes of children and potentially illegal late-term abortions.
Democratic challenger Paul Morrison continued to criticize Kline's efforts to obtain the records as invading patients' privacy. But Mark Simpson, Morrison's campaign manager, wouldn't predict what the Democrat would do with the records if he is elected, saying only, "He'll evaluate the situation."
The race between Kline, who is seeking a second term and Morrison.
the Johnson County district attorney, remained intense and bitter with less than a week before the Nov. 7 election.
Stephan already has publicly criticized Kline over the donation to SWT from the Light of the World Christian Center in Topeka. The church's pastor did not return a telephone message Wednesday.
Kline speaks regularly during church services and to church groups, discussing how he and his estranged father reconciled and the importance of people having God in their lives.
But he also wrote an internal memo in August outlining an effort to fully tap his support among conservative churchgoers, with directions to staff that included having friendly pastors bring "money people" to outside events.
Stephan raised two other issues in his letter to the Governmental Ethics Commission.
One was $3,600 in payments from the Kline campaign to SWT in January to store documents and furniture in a metal building behind the Klines' home. The other was Kline not itemizing more than $41,000 in contributions of $50 or less on his latest campaign finance report, filed Monday.
"It may turn out that everything is hunky dory," Stephan said during an interview. "I don't think you should take everything for granted, that something is in accordance in the rules, just because some politician tells you it is."

Jones said Kline was working to strengthen Jessica's Law, which increased penalties for sex offenders. Kline worked to get the law passed in 2005. Kline is also involved with the Cyber Crimes Task Force, which he helped to establish in 2003.
Going against violent criminals "has been my specialty for the past 26 years," Morrison said.
Morrison also wants to decrease the number of mentally ill individuals in prisons through a Mental Health Diversion Program. The program would get people back on their medications and back in therapy, he said.
Edited by Derek Korte
Morrison proposes to form a supplement to the current Cyber Crimes Task Force in Kansas City that would utilize the attorney general's office to track down Internet sexual predators.

OUR VIEW
Vote for a candidate, not a single issue
In our majoritarian society, we tend to lavish all the spoils on the victor of any contest. This is probably a consequence of our capitalist system, which necessarily produces a winner and a loser in every transaction. But this view has now spread to our republican government, which depends on consensus for accomplishment. A party with 51 percent of the House seats receives complete control of House procedure, along with
the chairmanships of every committee.
The media has compounded this problem by stressing the competitive angle of every election story. Even their imagery focuses on the combative side of politics: "battleground states," "horse race," and "voter mobilization." This in turn perpetuates the dichotomous thinking that has enveloped policy and politics. One candidate is pro-life, the other is pro-choice; one
supports free trade, the other is a market protectionist; one supports the war, the other questions its continuation.
This presents a great danger for voters, and in particular young voters, who are too young to remember the days when parties worked together to further the goals of the American people. We have become so acclimated to the climate of competition that we can think of elections in no other terms. Candidates capitalize on this by presenting every choice as black vs. white, right vs. wrong. We are told that our position on just one social issue is justification enough for a vote.
Lost in this kind of thinking is the basic knowledge that public officials are not vote-casting automatons who are to work merely on one issue. While one social or fiscal issue may be of the utmost importance to your values, it is important to remember that your candidate of choice
will be casting a number of votes on a variety of issues. Supporting a candidate based on one issue means that you are, by default, endorsing that candidate's entire platform, even the parts with which you may disagree.
organic creatures who work on a wide range of policy matters, and it is important to know their positions before voting. Don't get caught up in the media's hypercompetitive atmosphere — pick the candidates who you genuinely believe will be the best leaders for our government.
This Election Day, take care to evaluate the full slate of a candidate's positions before casting a vote. Try not to inflate the importance of one issue to the exclusion of all other considerations. Public officials are

>> COMMENTARY
In competitive market, customers freely choose Wal-Mart's low prices
Freedom is a pretty-sounding concept that almost everyone supports abstractly. No politician would ever come out and actually say that he or she is opposed to increasing freedom or that freedom needs to be rolled back a bit. Here at the University of Kansas, students get red-faced at the mere thought of losing the freedom to check out library books without a government official searching through the records. The thought of losing any aspect of freedom can, if framed correctly, get our blood boiling.
CARLOS
Unfortunately, beyond the library doors, freedom becomes harder to define. Most students would probably agree that we should be able to shop where we want and work where we want. But if we want to shop or work at Wal-Mart, freedom goes out the window.
Wal-Mart, of course, is the most controversial retailer in America today. Wal-Mart has a higher revenue than most nations and, with 1.2 million employees, is America's largest private employer. Critics
Many critics believe that the government should do something about Wal-Mart's behavior by forcing Wal-Mart to increase its wages and offer better health benefits, or by kicking Wal-Mart out of communities altogether. In truth, however, these actions would hurt many of

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
and Wal-Mart has many critics at the University — contend that Wal-Mart exploits its employees by paying them a low hourly wage, withholding health insurance, and purposefully keeping employees from working enough hours to qualify for full-time benefits. Some also contend that Wal-Mart drives out smaller competitors by offering consumers lower prices.
the people they're trying to help.
The key to the Wal-Mart situation is personal freedom. Americans buy at Wal-Mart because Wal-Mart is cheaper than most other retailers. This may cause other retailers to lose sales or go out of business, but this is because consumers are exercising their freedom to choose where they shop. Usually, consumers will shop where goods are cheaper. Cheaper goods, after all, have the same effect as a higher income because it allows consumers to buy more.
If the government forces Wal-Mart out of communities, it takes away citizens' freedom to spend money where they choose. Consumers will be forced to spend more money for the same amount of goods, which has the same result as a lower income. The only winners are Wal-Mart's competitors, who could raise their prices without losing business.
In the same vein, Wal-Mart employees work at Wal-Mart because they want to, either because it offers them better wages, better benefits, more flexible working hours, or a better environment than any of their other options. Wal-Mart critics seem to believe that taking Wal-Mart out of the picture will suddenly allow their 1.2 million employees to find better jobs. But if they could find better jobs, they
already would have. Removing Wal-Mart from a community does nothing to benefit Wal-Mart employees
— it just restricts their freedom to work where they choose, and it takes away their best option for income.
In recent weeks, Wal-Mart has made news with the expansion of its $4 prescription drug plan to Kansas stores. The plan lowers the cost of many prescription drugs to even less than the co-pays of most insured Americans. Nearly everyone will benefit from this plan, but no group will benefit as much as the uninsured (including Wal-Mart's employees); many of these drugs cost up to $50. Yet the same people who complain about the health care burden on uninsured Americans still want to eliminate Wal-Mart.
Lawrence is now fighting about whether or not to allow Wal-Mart to build another store. If Wal-Mart does open the store, it will offer low prices and jobs to another corner of Lawrence. If one Wal-Mart really is enough for Lawrence, as critics contend, then sales will lag and Wal-Mart will close the store on its own. Otherwise, free people who benefit from Wal-Mart's presence will keep the store in business.
Americans continue to work and shop at Wal-Mart because they freely choose to do so. Arrogant critics want to take away that choice. As passionately as we fight to keep our library records away from the government, we should fight for the freedom to shop and work where we please.

No weight-loss motivation? No problem
Are you looking for a way to lose those unwanted fifty pounds? Do you have to buy two bus passes because you take up two seats? Well, don't worry, because there are plenty of ways you can lose that cheese-cake gut without any kind of special effort on your part. Forget diet and exercise, those things are just too hard, especially when elective surgery is so much more convenient.
Here are your options: First, there is liposuction, the classic surgical solution for fatness. It's very simple — you just have a man in scrubs with a piece of paper on his wall that says he is a doctor stick a vacuum in you over and over again to suck out all the fat. You have to pay him for this, mind you, and endure the excruciating pain of your body healing itself after being stabbed repeatedly. It's much easier than exercise, huh?

Uh oh, so you got lipo-ed just to fill yourself back up again like a water balloon? Then try that up-and-comer that is slowly making a name for itself, gastric bypass surgery. The fact that you eat too much
is not because of a lack of willpower or self discipline, it's because your stomach is just too damn big. So why don't we just cut it in half and sew it back up? Brilliant! Stop the presses! Who says you have to stick to a balanced diet to lose weight when you could just chop your stomach in half?
What's that you say? Since your gastric bypass you don't eat any less you just poo a lot more? Well, this calls for drastic measures. The world's most ingenious doctors have put their heads together and come up with the next generation in anti-fatness technology: the stomach implant. How does it work? You really want to know? The stomach implant is a battery-sized device
that is inserted just below the rib cage. Wires from the implant are then connected to the stomach and deliver mild electric shocks. Doctor believe that these shocks trigger the release of a "satiety" chemical, tricking your body into thinking it is full. It's like electro-shock therapy for your stomach. Now you won't feel the need to consume large amounts of fat and calories, not to mention protein, vitamins or minerals. Hell, you probably won't want to eat anything ever again.
So, at the end of the day, when you look at yourself in the mirror of the gas station bathroom where you have been living because you spent all of your money and couldn't pay the rent, you can tell yourself as you look at your scar-covered, pale and wasted-away body, that at least you are no longer a fatty.

City commission receives advice on development
BY MARK VIERTHALER
Concerns raised at a public meeting with development advisers ranged from environmental concerns to the relationship between the University and the city.
The Lawrence City Commission met Wednesday with a six-person
team from the American Institute of Architects to analyze Lawrence's ability to meet environmental, economic and social equity

needs without reducing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The meetings will continue today.
The Sustainable Design Assessment Team focuses on improving the development of downtown businesses, housing, government, culture, recreation and historic preservation. Advisers came from various areas of the country, including Washington, D.C., Birmingham, Ala, and Phoenix, Ariz.
The team met with the public to field suggestions for its survey during the next several days.
Celeste Fish, Pittsburg senior, said hoped the team would include more opportunities for multiple disciplinary research at the University.
William Gilchrist, sustainability team leader, described sustainability as implementing policies that would not work to the detriment of the city in the long term.
Lawrence resident Tom Harper said the city, the University and the public schools needed to work together more. He said they were the three largest entities within the town and the relationships among them needed to be strengthened for the city to operate smoothly.
Several people in attendance argued for the team to look at the connection between water quality and public health. Other attendees raised the issue of energy sources
Several people echoed Douglas' sentiments.
JOE DOUGLAS Lawrence resident
"The medical definition of unrestrained growth is cancer," Douglas said. "I'm afraid that's what we're looking at."
Joe Douglas, Lawrence resident and doctor, said he was mainly worried about too much growth in Lawrence.
Richard Heckler, Lawrence resident, raised worries about urban sprawl and economic growth.
Others worried about the state of homelessness in Lawrence.
and suggested the team focus less on fossil fuel and more on wind energy.
Heckler said the team should study the city's ability to fit businesses into the existing downtown area to avoid stretching the city limits.
Loring Henderson, director of the Lawrence Community Shelter, said the biggest thing the team should study before anything else was the state of the poor and the homeless.
"When are you going to start with the basics," Henderson asked. "When are we going to get people into simple housing for the mentally ill and the addicted?"
Marllyn Roy, who was formerly homeless agreed. Roy said if Lawrence was looking to be a sustained community it had to support its homeless. She said she thought a large portion of the problem was elitism within the city.
Roy has lived in Lawrence since 1974, and she tearfully said Lawrence had been divided by growth downtown had become a center for tourists and bar patrons. She also told the team it should challenge the city's developers to use their money to build a homeless center and a drug rehabilitation center.
Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highberger said the public meeting was an excellent opportunity for the city's elected officials to determine what direction the city should head during the next several years.
Lawrence is one of eight communities across the nation chosen to participate in the SDAT program.
The final set of recommendations will be presented at 3:30 p.m. Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center.

When Brandon Rush or Julian Wright hits a game-winning shot, Bill Nolan is happy for them.
Rachel Sanner, Lawrence senior, tutors women's basketball forward Porscha Weddington, freshman, on rational equations and problem solving for Weddington's Math 002 class. Sanner, who tutors four students, five nights per week, specializes in geography, English, and math.

But when one of the basketball players gets an A on a test, Nolan, a tutor in the Kansas Athletics Department, gets excited.
"I just like to see guys doing well; coming in, working hard and doing well," said Nolan, a recent Communication Studies graduate from the University. "That's the best part of the job. The sense of accomplishment, to see them have that sense of accomplishment always feels good."
Nolan is one of 15 tutors in the strategic tutoring program that helps the men's and women's basketball teams.
Nolan said he took the job last January because he always liked helping other students in his classes. Justin Mackey, assistant director of the Athletics Department's Strategic Tutoring Program, said Nolan fit the criteria that the program searched for in tutors.

"They are on their routine schedules and sometimes just coming here and trying to get motivated to study after having a long day, that's probably the biggest challenge," she said.
Harvey said when athletes had a tough day on the field or in the classroom, she liked to warm them up with a conversation and not dive straight into their studies. Nolan said he found that a similar approach worked well for him.

CAMPUS
Foundation's donation provides new scholarship
A $200,000 per year scholarship program was announced by the University of Kansas on Tuesday.
The Christina M. Hixson
Opportunity Awards will be given to
financially needy students who
want to attend the University. The
program will give ten renewable
$5,000 scholarships to freshmen in the 2007-08 academic year. The program will add 10 scholarships a year until a maximum of 40 are given.
Jen Humphrey, senior editor at the University of Kansas Endowment Association, said the scholarship would be available to
current high school seniors the first year. She said the money could be given to students with obstacles other than financial restraints.
The awards were created through a $5 million gift from The Ernst F. Lied Foundation of Las Vegas to help students with financial hardships attend the University.
Participants will have to be Kansas high school graduates and meet the University's academic qualifications.
In addition to The Christina M Hixson Opportunity Awards, the endowment Association gives more than $20 million in scholarships to more than 5,000 students a year.

Tamara Daniels, left, and Kim Pallen run in Central Park in New York, Wednesday. After watching her mother finish her first half marathon shortly after undergoing radiation for breast cancer, Daniels is one of many who are bringing back the popularity of long-distance running.
TRENDS
Marathon running makes a fashionable comeback
This past summer, Daniels, an avid runner of smaller distances, signed up for a running class sponsored by the New York Road Runners Club Inc. with fellow jogger Kim Pallen, 23. The two met while running a 5K corporate challenge — Pallen was an intern at Daniels' office.
"I've never thought of myself as a long distance runner. But she inspired me to do it," said the 26-year-old assistant district attorney after a 10-mile run in New York's Central Park.
It wasn't until her mother finished her first half marathon shortly after undergoing radiation for breast cancer that Tamara Daniels found the motivation to run a marathon.
BY J.W. ELPHINSTONE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Runners like Daniels, her mother and Pallen are fauling a second major running boom. The first boom occurred in the 1970s after American Frank Shorter's gold medal in the 1972 Olympic marathon inspired Americans off their feet to attempt the 26.2-mile race.
They are now almost halfway into training for the ING Miami Marathon in January, the first marathon for both. After the event, the two want to celebrate with a cruise out of Miami.
Now, more runners are lacing up their sneakers at the starting lines of longer races. Cities and
Well-known races like the Chicago and New York City Marathons have capped their registrations to avoid overflow. The New York City Marathon expects 37,000 runners to participate in this year's race Nov. 5.
The Road Running Information Center reported that half marathon finishers rose 7 percent in 2004 from the previous year and marathon finishers followed with a 6 percent gain.
retailers hope to benefit from the renewed interest by turning local marathons into running festivals to attract tourist dollars and show off their communities.
Participants in second tier races in Miami, Portland and Detroit have also skyrocketed as more runners are shut out of big time races and new faces enter the field.
More cities are jumping in the race. The number of marathons nationwide has grown steadily in the last five years, according to MarathonGuide.com., from 272 events in 2001 to 359 scheduled marathons for 2006.
Most marathons are started by local running clubs with the economic and logistical support from the host cities. But in some cases, cities initiate the formation of their own marathons and bring in outside event management companies to organize the event and find sponsors.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Exhibition game to be depth test for Jayhawks
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas will find out just how deep it is tonight against the Washburn Ichabods.
Without junior centers Sasha Kaun and C.J. Giles, expect coach Bill Self to play some interesting makeshift rotations.
Junior Russell Robinson should start at point guard, alongside sophomore guards Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush.
Monday, Self said he planned to play junior Darnell Jackson and freshman Darrell Arthur in place of Kaun and Giles. Sophomore Julian Wright will start at power forward and could be relieved by sophomore Matt Kleinmann. Self said 6-foot-4 junior guard Rodrick Stewart might even see time as a forward.
Kansas will still have its back-court intact.
"We're going to have to play small. We are a tiny team all of a sudden." Self said. "We have gone from being a deep, long, athletic team to being, in the short term, a team that does not have much inside depth at all. We're a pretty thin group right now"
The role of the guards will remain the same as the Jayhawks wait to get back to full strength. Jackson said the low-post players wouldn't have to adjust their roles either. Instead, they will have to acclimate to playing more minutes right off the bat.
“It's just looking to the side and knowing Sasha's not going to be able to come in and get you when you're out there breathing for ain", Jackson said. "We're going to miss him."
In addition to the minutes Kaun and Giles play, the team will also miss their shot-blocking ability.
Kaun had 36 blocks last season and Giles led the team with 48. Jackson has only six career blocks. As much as he'd like to increase his blocks, Jackson said arm length was the main factor in blocking shots.
"I'm just going to have to go drink some of C.J's water, and hopefully I get long arms and go block a couple shots for him," jackson said.
Fortunately, Kansas will face a small Washburn team tonight. The tallest Ichabod expected to start tonight is 6-8 forward Brad Sydik. The only three players taller than Sisk on the Washburn roster may play limited minutes.
Sisk is one of four returning starters for Washburn and led the team in points and rebounds last season with 14.4 and 5.7, respectively. Joining Sisk in the front-court will be returning starters Dylan Channel, who was second on the team with 10.1 points per game last season, and Paul Byers, who led the team with 31 blocks last season.
On the perimeter, Andrew Meile will handle the point after leading the team with 66 assists last season. Guard Kyle Fisher is the leading candidate to fill the fifth starting spot.
While tonight will be Kansas' first game of the season, Washburn played four exhibition games in China in August. Playing Zhejang University, Zhejang Normal University and Shanghai Normal University, Washburn went 4-0, winning by an average of about 50 points per game.
Tonight will mark the 34th meeting between Kansas and Washburn. The Jayhawks lead the series 30-3. Kansas is also 2-0 against Washburn in exhibition play, but the Ichabods gave the Jayhawks a close game two years ago.
"Two years ago, it was a ninepoint game." Self said. "It was four or five points late in the game and they had a shot, so I think that game helped us in a lot of ways."

Freshman Sade Morris scores 14 points, Shaq Mosley tallies 10 assists
BY CASE KEEFER
An impressive first half and a disappointing second half characterized the women's basketball team's 80-55 exhibition victory against Fort Hays State on Wednesday.
"Obviously, I liked the first half team better than the second half team," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "But the second half won't take away from how good I thought we were at times during the first half."
Within the first minute of the game, the Jayhawks forced a Lady Tigers time-out that followed a 6-0 start off of two Ivana Catic steals. Kansas would continue its domination during the remaining 19 minutes of the half.
All seven freshman saw considerable minutes in the game, but Sade Morris stole the spotlight. Morris was four for five in the first half with 12 points.
Offensively Morris slowed down in the second half with only two points, but still showed her big play ability with a steal and a huge block.
"I just did my best to get us going." Morris said.
Henrickson sacrificed size for athleticism by starting two forwards, Morris and junior Jamie Boyd instead of the expected starting center, Marija Zinic.
Catic, Taylor McIntosn and Shaquina Mosley made up the starting backcourt. Kelly Kohn and LaChelda Jacobs received the most minutes off the bench with 17 and 14, respectively.
Henrickson switched the role of point guard out between Kohn, Jacobs, Catic and Mosley equally as the game went on. Mosley had the most success at the position.
Mosley showcased her role as a facilitator in the Jayhawk's offense. With solid ball handling and non-selfish play Mosley fed the ball to teammates like Sade Morris, Kelly Kohn and Danielle McCray on her way to a career-high ten assists.
"When Bonnie had me at the
point, I just saw people open and tried to get it to them." Mosley said. "I always feel like it's better to get shots inside the paint than outside."
The lightning-quick speed of the tandem of guards was hard for the Lady Tigers to keep up with. Kohn, Mosley and Jacobs each got a handful of open looks because of their quickness.
In the second half, the Lady Tigers outscored the Jayhawks 37-34. Many of the problems can be attributed to the emergence of Fort Hays State freshman Naomi Bancroft.

Jeff Foster, junior receiver, made key plays on Saturday to help Kansas defeat Colorado, including a 31-yard catch on a Kansas scoring drive. Foster has not played much during the season, making his first catches during Saturday's game.
Kansas File Shares
Rarely used wide receiver makes big plays in victory
BY C.J. MOORE
Jeff Foster's performance may have surprised a few people Saturday.
Foster, a seldom-used junior receiver and former walk-on, made three game-changing plays against Colorado: Drawing a pass-interference penalty on one play, coming up with a 31-yard catch on another and recovering a fourth quarter onside kick, which earned him special team player of the week.
But this was nothing new to the jayhawk coaches and players, who have seen Foster shine on the practice field.
Receiver Jonathan Lamb wasn't surprised by Foster's performance.
"Jeff's making big plays all the time in practice" he said.
Foster was doing just that — making big plays — in practice last week.
"Jeff and I actually hooked up on a couple big 30- to 40-yard pass plays," Reesing said.
Every Wednesday the second-team offense takes on the first-team defense in a two-minute drill. Last week the second-team offense was led by freshman Todd Reesing, who on Saturday went from being a redshirt afternought to big man on campus in one half of football Saturday with some help from Foster.
As Reesing ran the two-minute drill Wednesday, Foster was his go-to guy on the drive.
t
So when Reesing was flushed out of the pocket for the first time in the second half against Colorado, he spotted a familiar number open in the back of the end zone. The pass to Foster was not caught, but resulted in a pass interference call that gave Jayhawks a first down and kept their first scoring drive alive.
In the fourth quarter, when Reesing again avoided pressure and scrambled to his left, he threw downfield to Foster for a 31-yard completion that led to the Jayhawks' final touchdown.
/
"I was like 'Jeff, man, just like in practice,' Reesing said.
Foster's only highlights this season before the Colorado game had come on the practice field. Although he has seen spot duty, he had yet to catch a pass until Saturday after catching four passes last year with one touchdown.
Because of several injuries to the receiving core, Foster found his way onto the field frequently during the second half against the Buffaloes.
"Actually I wasn't expecting it at all," Foster said of his playing time. "It was just kind of how the game played out."

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Pride reemerges at KSU with Huggins
BY STEVE BRISENDINE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — The buzz began building the day Kansas State's coaching job came open.
Bob Huggins, so the rumor went,
was interested.
Skeptics wondered why. Huggins had taken Cincinnati to 14 straight NCAA tournaments — including one Final Four — in 16 years. He would want a team that hadn't made the NCAA field since 1996?
Now, however, questions have less to do with whether Huggins can get the Wildcats back into the postseason than how deep a run they can make.
That's why almost 10,000 fans waited in line to watch a late-night scrimmage. It's why almost 13,000 season tickets have been sold for an arena that seats 13,500.
"When you bring a coach in that is proven, and the players don't question what he says, people just go with the flow and it definitely excites us."
junior swingman David Hoskins said. "Coach Huggins brings a lot more intensity to us, and it has helped."
Huggins, who spent a year assembling a high-powered recruiting class after being fired at Cincinnati in 2005, has done little to curb the enthusiasm.
At the "Madness in Manhattan" event, he promised that the Wildcats would snap a 23-game home losing streak to Kansas and speculated that the Wildcats' new third uniforms — the black ones with the
Associated Press
purple claw markings down the side
— would look good in a Big 12 tournament final or an NCAA regional semifinal.
Kansas State basketball fans have rallied around their new coach, Bob Huggins, who was named the Kansas State coach this season. Huggins promised to take the team to the NCAA tournament and to end Kansas State's 23-game losing streak to Kansas
XII
"They know I'm not real good about being second, and I'm miserable when we lose," Huggins said. "I think they understand that and I think they're kind of the same way. They're starting to develop that attitude."
Whether the Wildcats can translate that attitude into victories remains to be seen. But Huggins does have several proven playmakers on hand and a load of promising newcomers.
Senior swingman Cartier Martin is the top returning player — once Huggins let him back on the team, that is.
Martin led the Wildcats with 18 points and 6.6 rebounds last season, but was suspended by Huggins in May for an unspecified violation of team rules. Huggins didn't reinstate him until the start of practice in October.
Neither has said what the suspension was for, but Huggins made one telling remark at the Wildcats' annual media day.
"I've had a few conversations with Cartier, and I think Cartier knows what he wants to do and where he wants to go." Huggins said. "Cartier wants a degree, and Cartier wants to play at the next level."
And Martin said Huggins, who was criticized for a low graduation rate at Cincinnati, takes academics seriously.
"I found that out right away," Martin said. "I missed a class in the spring and he had me running stairs."
made him and Hoskins the nucleus of his team.
Martin has responded well enough, though, that Huggins has
"Cartier has really worked hard. He has really tried to be a leader," Huggins said. "He's been real good. Dave's been good, but not as consistent as Cartier has been."
"I can see the rim now," Hoskins said. "It has definitely helped."
Hoskins, a transfer from Central Michigan who redshirted one year at a junior college, broke into the starting lineup early last season and averaged 13.1 points. After offseason Lasik surgery on both eyes, his outside shooting has improved.
While starting spots are secure for Martin and Hoskins, the picture is less clear for off-guard Lance Harris, who started the first 13 games last year and averaged 10.7 points. The problem, Huggins said, is Harris' streaky play last year.
"Lance kind of gets in a comfort zone," Huggins said. We kind of have to push him out of that comfort zone sometimes. I think he has really responded the last couple of days."
Client Stewart started 20 games at point guard last season but is coming off surgery, so Huggins has been working two newcomers at the position — grad student Jermaine Maybank and junior Blake Young.
Young averaged 23.2 points in his final season at Daytona Beach Community College in Florida, shooting 37.7 percent from 3-point range.
"He drew me in and then the fans got me too," Young said. "When I came here on my visit the fans were calling out my name and that got me excited. Having that kind of fan support always helps."
He wouldn't be at Kansas State were it not for Huggins, he said.

Postseason hopes dim after loss
Kansas is in a familiar situation.
After tieing Colorado 1-1 but eventually losing 5-3 in penalty kicks, the team's NCAA tournament future is up in the air.
The game, played Wednesday at the Big 12 tournament in San Antonio, Texas, counts as a tie, but the Buffalooes will advance to play Texas A&M on Friday.
Last year, the Jayhawks (11-7-1, 6-4-1) finished with an identical record after losing in the first round of the Big 12 tournament. Kansas coach Mark Francis and the players felt secure with their chances of making the NCAA tournament, but
Going into Wednesday's game, Kansas had an RPI of 56. The RPI measures a team's ranking through victories, losses and schedule strength. The NCAA tournament selection committee uses the RPI as one of its main criteria for selecting teams. Sixty-four teams will be chosen for the tournament, which puts the Jayhawks squarely on the bubble.
A victory Wednesday against Colorado would have increased Kansas' chances for getting a berth, but the Jayhawks came up just short.

on the layhawks' first penalty kick attempt, which left Kansas with a 1-0 deficit during the shootout. Players from both teams made the remainder of their penalty kicks, which gave Colorado the advantage and victory.
The ending was particularly tough for Kansas, because it battled back after spotting Colorado a goal during the first half.
The layhawks lone goal came minute 37. Sophomore midfielder Missy Geha started the scoring drive when she sent a pass up the field to senior forward Holly Gault. Gault collected the pass and forwarded the ball to sophomore midfielder Jessica Bush. Colorado goalkeeper Kirstin Radlinksi came forward in an attempt to stop Bush, but Bush avoided her and made an easy shot for her eighth goal of the season.
Kansas had plenty of opportunities to score during the second half.
but no one could break through with the game-winner. Sophomore midfielder Sara Rogers nearly put the game away when she received a cross from freshman forward Shannon McCabe. Rogers attempted to head it in, but her shot flew wide of the net.
Wednesday's loss added to Kansas' struggles in the Big 12 tournament. The Jayhawks now have a 2-7 record in Big 12 tournament games and have lost in the first round five of the last seven years.
With Wednesday's elimination, all Kansas can do is wait.
NCAA tournament pairings will be announced Monday and games begin Nov. 10.

Kathy Willens/ASSOCIATED PRESS
L2 SOUTH
New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs is averaging 5.1 yards per carry this season. He is expected to take over as the starting running back next year after Tiki Barber retires, and with more carries he could be a valuable fantasy football player.
BY EVAN HENGEL
For the fantasy managers who sit at 2-6 on the year, it's time to look to the future. And for next year, I have a name that could define your season: Brandon Jacobs.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the second-year player out of Southern Illinois, he is the New York Giant's backup running back behind Tiki Barber. More importantly, he is 6'4" and 264 lbs
After this season Tiki will retire in hopes of becoming a news-caster. While Barber is doing his best Katie Couric impersonation, Jacobs will become the NFL's next 2,000 yard rusher.
If you look at Jacobs' numbers this year, his success isn't hard to predict. Jacobs has averaged 5.1 yards per carry on 51 attempts, despite Tiki Barber's fantastic season, averaging 4.6 yards per carry on the way to a projected 1,600 yard season.
Jacobs' average yards per carry is skewed down a little because many of his carries are in goal line situation — where it's impossible for him to gain substantial yardage — and at the end of games that the Giants are winning when the opposing team knows that the run is coming.
When Jacobs finally gets to run full time behind the Giants' underrated offensive line, anchored by Luke Pettigout and Kareem McKenzie full time.
records will be shattered.
What's more important than numbers is Jacobs' style. When describing it, one word comes to mind: fury. Jacobs runs as if the entire female cast of Laguna Beach is waiting for him in the end zone. I'd compare him to a mix of Christian Okoye, Larry Johnson, and Boobie Miles from "Friday Night Lights" — the movie, not the TV show. The man is so ruthless, he actually fought kicker David Akers on the side-lines of the Giants game against the Eagles in week two. That's like getting in a wrestling match with
an eight year old. His relentless style will have opposing linebackers wetting beds for years to come
While images of Brandon Jacobs will haunt the dreams of opposing defensive coordinators next year, they'll make fantasy owners forget about this year's first round pick of Edgerrin James or Cadillac Williams. Jacobs is the perfect fantasy running back. He's fast enough to be effective in the open field, giving him big-play potential. And he's big enough, at 264 pounds, to get all those elusive goal-line carries.
My old roommate Dave and I
have had a man crush on Jacobs for a while now, and if our predictions are correct, Jacobs will be so good next season that it will spur rule changes in fantasy football.
Now that my love for Brandon Jacobs is out and in the open, here are some players to add for week nine:
1) MIKE BELL, RUNNING BACK, DENVER BRONCOS.
Mike Shanahan strikes again as the running back by committee seems to be back in style in Denver, which will lead to more carries for Bell. Also, starting running back Tatum Bell has turf toe.
2) OWEN DANIELS, TIGHT END. HOUSTON TEXANS.
No one seems to know where this guy came from (Wisconsin), but his five touchdowns in seven games make him valuable to fantasy owners.
3) SEATTLE DEFENSE.
Even though Seattle's defense isn't that good — although Lofa Tatuupi is already becoming a superstar in just his second year — they're playing Oakland, which features Andrew Walter and Justin Fargas. I'd start Hoover High School's defense against Oakland.

Young Jayhawks mature Ivana Catic has stepped up as a team leader
BY LUKE MORRIS
KANSAS

Name/KANSAN
The graduation of Kaylee Brown Erica Hallman and Crystal Kemp left many holes and questions for this year's women's basketball team.
"I realize that it is a bigger part of my role on this year's team," said Catic.
the three players made up 65 percent of Kansas' scoring last season. Sophomore Ivana Catic was the fourth leading scorer on last year's team with an average of 7.7 points per game. Now, as the lead returning player in scoring, she'll have to step into the void the seniors created.
Ivana Catic will return as Kansas' leading score after the loss of senior Crystal Kemp
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said Catic had made important improvements to her game during the offseason.
"She can shoot a pull-up jumper or get to the rim. She's shooting the three much better than she did last year" Henrickson said. "Defensively she looks better than she did at any point last year."
Henrickson said Catic had also accepted a leadership role along with junior Taylor McIntosh.
"At the end of team meetings, Ivana and Taylor usually have something to add and it's very positive, very good," said Henrickson.
McIntosh is taking memories from her freshman season to make herself a better leader.
I know when I first got here I was afraid to approach the upperclassmen because I didn't know how," said McIntosh. "I just try to make them feel comfortable around me and not be so intimidating."
While memories help her with leadership, McIntosh and sophomore Marija Zinic will need to forget the comfort of sharing the frontcourt with Kemp, who led the
team in scoring during the past four years and in rebounds during the past two.
The absences of sophomores Sophronia Sallard and Jen Orgas may also affect the team. Sallard transferred to Pittsburgh and Orgas is taking the year off for personal reasons.
"I feel that we've got some kids who will ease the stress," said Henrickson. "It gives the younger kids a chance to play even more."
The returning players have to make the adjustments quickly. If not, Henrickson said she didn't fear starting three or four freshmen.
"I've got some upperclassman who are dead set on not letting it happen, but there's great competition for it," said Henrickson.

PAUL DAVIS A STRONG VOICE FOR KU AND HIGHER EDUCATION
In 1999, The Kansas Legislature enacted the Higher Education Reorganization Act. In exchange for allowing community colleges into the Regents system, KU and other state universities were promised increased funding to bring faculty salaries up to peer levels. Unfortunately, the Legislature hasn't lived up to its promise. State Representative Paul Davis has been working hard in Topeka to change this. Paul worked with Governor Kathleen Sebelius and legislative leaders to obtain millions of dollars in new funding for Kansas universities. Let's send Paul back to Topeka on November 7th to keep fighting for us!

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Columnists weigh in as conference play heats up
Oklahoma jubilant after victory; now faces Texas A&M
After a rough start, Oklahoma will play Texas A&M Saturday in what will be the national game of the week. Michael Kimball wrote in Tuesday's Oklahoma Daily that Oklahoma hasn't peaked yet.
O
As I stood on the field watching the Sooners head for their locker room after beating Missouri Saturday, I saw them exhibit
emotions I haven't seen yet this year.
I saw jubilation, fist-pumping and dancing. I saw a veritable explosion of joy and satisfaction from OU players and coaches alike.
Sooners who spent nearly three straight months on a roller coaster ride with more lows than highs finally got a big win over a ranked team and actually looked like they were actually enjoying themselves.
OU's confidence has not been this high all season.
"We have a lot of confidence in the team, not only with ourselves, but with the coaches as well," quarterback Paul Thompson said. "I feel real comfortable about where we're going. The team feels real comfortable with the adversity we've had to overcome. And where we're at, we feel real good."
And OU should feel good. A
replay official in Oregon took one game away from the Sooners and they beat themselves against Texas when the whole country was watching. But against Mizzou, they made all of the plays they had to make in a convincing road win over a tough Tiger team.
Confidence is key in athletics and the athletes' belief in themselves will serve the Sooners well when they hit the road again — this time to Texas A&M's Kyle Field, one of college football's toughest stadiums. ESPN's College GameDay will be there, heaping national attention on a Sooner team eager to showcase its newfound self-assurance.
But the rising tide has not lifted all boats. Even as its defense made big plays and its offense capitalized, OU left the Tigers big windows of opportunity when it didn't execute on some of the game's most important plays.
Tiger tight end Chase Coffman dropped what was a sure touchdown catch in the first quarter, and in doing so dropped an opportunity to give his team a 10-0 lead. Someone in the Sooner secondary — OU coaches won't say who, but it was either Lendy Holmes or Darien Williams — blew a coverage assignment. Without the drop, it could have been a different day for Mizzou.
And the Sooners weren't as
sharp as they could have been on offense. Case in point: On fourth-and-one in the second quarter from the Tiger 38-yard line, Thompson threw to a triple-covered Malcolm Kelly instead of a wide-open jermaine Gresham. Had he made the right read, Thompson could have led OU into the locker room with a 23-half time lead.
Instead, Missouri got the ball back, OU punned on its next (and last) possession of the half and fumbled on its first possession of the second half, letting Missouri right back in the game.
Despite the miscues, OU remained in control and went on to earn its biggest victory in a year. The confidence the Sooners gained in Columbia, Mo., will certainly carry over to their game against the Aggies.
The key for OU is to sharpen its execution and combine it with the poise and swagger from the victory against the Tigers. A confident Sooner squad hitting on all cylinders would be too much for Texas A&M to handle, no matter where the game is being played.
Even though OU didn't play a complete game against Mizzou, its effort was more than enough to win. If the Sooners can put all of the pieces together against the Aggies, the team's confidence, already flying higher than it has all season, could soar into the stratosphere.
Oklahoma State much improved since last season
COWBOYS
27
The Oklahoma State football team has improved from last season. The Cowboys have beat teams like Kansas and Nebraska and lost to Texas A&M by one point. The team has games left against Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech and Oklahoma and needs one to become bowl eligible.
Two weeks after a victory against Kansas, Oklahoma State has shed its reputation as a perennial Big 12 Conference loser. In Wednesday's Daily O'Collegian, Jason Lemon wrote that this year's Cowboys team is likely going to a bowl.
ORVILLE
UNIVERSITY
After the 41-29 comeback victory the Cowboys pulled against Nebraska, most would agree the question "Is
this the same team from last year?"
has been answered with a no.
This team is a lot better than last year's team.
Some Cowboy football players said it didn't take a victory over Nebraska for them to find that out.
"We knew," senior defensive end Victor DeGrate said. "It's the people that weren't in the locker room that didn't know."
Sophomore quarterback Bobby Reid said he agreed.
"We knew coming into camp that this wasn't the same team as last year," Reid said. "This team from this season can beat the team from last season any day. There's no comparison."
Just like last season, the Cowboys are still questionable at this point, but a look beneath the wins and losses, the question "Is this the same team from last year?" could still be answered with a no.
"When we lost those games people said we're the same team from last year, but Texas A&M beat us 62-23 and this year they beat us by one," senior wide receiver D'Juan
Woods said. "If people don't look at the little things they don't know."
The main reason for the Cowboys' improvement this season is Reid's play.
Last season, Reid never got settled at the quarterback position. When he wasn't battling safety Donovan Woods for the job, he was battling a foot injury and a new offense.
Coming into this season, Reid said he felt a lot more comfortable at the position in part because he didn't have to look over his shoulder.
"That just shows that hard work pays off." Reid said. "Sometimes at night I can't sleep and get up and watch film."
He was expected to be the sidekick to DJuan Woods but has instead taken the spotlight. This season he has 877 receiving yards, 39 recceptions and 10 touchdowns.
Against Houston, the offense gave OSU plenty of opportunities to win the game, but the defense could not handle Kolb's passing and running attack.
When it came to Nebraska, the defense gave OSU an opportunity to win the game, and the offense took advantage of it.
This season, Reid has 1,616 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also leads the Big 12 in passing efficiency.
Another reason for improvement this season has been the play of junior wide receiver Adarius Bowman.
His most notable game was against Kansas, when he had 300 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
After the Cowboy defense allowed 509 yards against Houston.
"Sometimes at night I can't sleep and get up and watch film."
it has been the biggest question mark this season.
BOBBY REID Oklahoma State quarterback
Saturday, the OSU defense allowed Nebraska to jump to an early 10- lead, but then the Cowboy offense was able to score two unanswered touchdowns to
After another Nebraska touchdown made the score 23-13, the Cowboy defense held the Cornhuskers scoreless until their final possession.
make the score 16-13.
The Cowboy offense scored four unanswered touchdowns to seal the victory.
The defense has finally shown that it can come through when the game is on the line.
The Cowboys are one victory away from bowl eligibility and show this is not the same Cowboy team from last season.
That is also why this season will likely end with a bowl game.
When DeGrate was asked whether the team was confident about going to a bowl game he said, "Oh, yeah. That's what we want."

Injuries plague Iowa State before Kansas matchup
IOWA STATE 7
lowa State quarterback Bret Meyer runs the ball in the first half of the game Saturday in Manhattan, Kan. Meyer will have to carry the Cyclones on Saturday against Kansas, as several players are out with injury, including star running back Steve Hickens.
Kelly Glasscock/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Headed into Saturday's game against Kansas, Iowa State is down several key players. In Wednesday's Iowa State Daily, Grant Wall gave a rundown of the current injuries.
IOWA STATE
CIVILS
Injuries keep mounting for the ISU football team.
State with a knee injury, which put the remainder of his final season in jeopardy.
Hicks had his knee scoped Tuesday and will not play against Kansas on Saturday.
He missed three complete games last season and parts of three other games with various leg injuries.
He is Iowa State's leading rusher this season. Hicks gained 523 yards
in the Cyclones' first eight games.
Jason Scales will start for the Cyclones in place of Hicks.
Scales, a sophomore from West Des Moines Valley, got his first career start against Kansas State and rushed for 67 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown.
He missed the second half of the Kansas State game with an ankle injury but will be ready to play against Kansas.
"Jason should be ready to practice," said coach Dan McCarney at a press conference on Monday.
If Scales can spend time on the practice field, he should be available come game time.
Freshman Josh Johnson also saw time at running back, gaining 15 yards on seven carries against the Wildcats.
Receiver Jon Davis is recovering from a collapsed lung suffered near the end of the second quarter of last
Saturday's game.
"It was very, very serious and thankfully he's doing fine now," McCarney said.
The injury could sideline Davis for the remainder of his senior season, although there is a chance he could return for the season-ending game against Missouri.
Fellow receiver Austin Flynn said Davis has remained upbeat despite the injury, but the thought of never slipping on the cardinal and gold again has been hard for Davis.
"He just knows that it could be the end of his career, and that's hard to swallow." Flynn said.
Besides injuries, viruses have had a large effect on the team. Junior receiver Todd Blythe missed the Kansas State game with a virus and is questionable for the next game.

Knee injury benches Jets player
Lennyjanelzi/ASSOCIATED FPSS
Curtis Martin's season, and possibly his career, comes to an end
28
New York Jets running back Curtis Martin's season ended Wednesday because of a lingering knee injury, but the New York Jets hope the star running back will play again. The bone-on-bone condition in his right knee could jeopardize his future career.
BY DENNIS WASZAK JR.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - Curtis Martin tried to outrun the inevitable.
After months of rehabilitation and countless hours working to get back on the field for the New York Jets, reality finally caught up to the NFL's No. 4 career rusher.
"I think this is as good as my knee gets, where it is right now." Martin said Wednesday at a news conference.
The Jets placed the 33-year-old Martin on the reserve physically-unable to perform list with a bone-on-bone condition in his right knee, ending his season before it ever got started and jeopardizing his career.
"I usually deal with things the way they are now, and with the information that I know about my future, it doesn't look like it's too bright as far as me having a further career," Martin said. "And if that happens, great."
It took a few months for Martin to reach the point where he could accept the idea his brilliant career might be over.
"I don't know if it's even possible," Martin said of playing again. "It hasn't been possible up to this point, so I'm not looking forward to saying I'll definitely be back next year. It's a long stretch, I'll put it that way. And that's the most honest answer I can give you."
This wasn't an official retirement announcement, but it sure sounded and looked like one, with cameras flashing every few seconds and at least two dozen reporters packed into the small media room.
"I'm officially not playing this year," Martin said. "Retirement — that may be the inevitable result. I just haven't gotten there yet."
Martin, wearing a brown baker boy hat, royal blue V-neck shirt and dark blue jeans, kept his com-
possession throughout the nearly half-hour news conference. He referred to his career in the past tense a few times, and his outlook on playing again was far from promising. Martin also thanked the team, the fans and even the media in a sign of closure.
"To think that a guy might not be able to play again is devastating," said Derrick Blaylock, who was signed last year to back up Martin. "Aside from football, this is a guy's future. If he's not going to be able to play, that means a lot."
Martin spoke with coach Eric Mangini on Tuesday night, and
said he didn't think hed be ready to practice next week.
"I sat in Eric's office and I said, 'Eric, you know what? I just need one last conversation with the doctors,' I said, 'I even know. I know what they're going to say and I know what the outcome is,' but for some reason I just wanted that last conversation."
Martin, who said he's in game shape and at his playing weight, never got that final conversation, instead talking with general manager Mike Tannenbaum and deciding Wednesday was the day to end months of speculation.

Former Jayhawks sign NBA contract extensions
Two former Jayhawks cashed in big on Tuesday, signing contract extensions with their NBA teams.

Guard Kirk Hirnich agreed to a five-year contract extension believed to be worth $47.5 million with the Chicago Bulls, and forward Nick Collison signed a multi-year agreement with the Seattle SuperSonics, but the amount was not disclosed.
Texas Speedway made into one of top courses
Around the country
Compiled by Michael Phillips

FORT WORTH, Texas
— There was a 13-car
wreck in the first turn on
the first lap of the first
race. And the transition
NASCAR drivers hated Texas Motor Speedway. After that inaugural Cup race in 1997, Rusty Wallace said the new 1 1/2-mile track would need "a total reconstruction to get it right." More problems followed when NASCAR returned the next year. Qualifying had to be postponed because of water seeping through that first turn on a sunny day.
"Texas is a great race track," said Matt Kenseth, the points leader with three races left in NASCAR's Chase for the Nextel Cup.
onto the frontstretch was tight and treacherous.
"Frustrating doesn't say it strong enough,"TMS president Eddie Gossage said."It was just so disgusting to go through those early years."
Much has changed since the problematic start — mainly, the perceptions that drivers have about the track. Texas wraps up its 10th season of racing this weekend, and now is considered by many to be one of NASCAR's best venues.
A $4 million restructuring after the 1998 race included modifications of the entrances and exits of the turns and a new drainage system. The track was repaired again in 2001, and the high-banked quadoval has seasoned with plenty of racing since.
"It wasn't exactly what it needed to be when we started going there," Kevin Harvick said. "They did whatever it took to make the race track right."
Drivers and their sponsors like more than the fast track. They love the big money and big crowds in Texas, where nearly 200,000 people have attended every Cup race — even 185,000 on a Monday makeup after a rainstout in 2002.
PGA names Ryder Cup captains in advance
3
ATLANTA — Paul Azinger and Nick Faldo have competed on the golf course and shared space in a television
tower as commentators. The next
time they square off will be as Ryder Cup captains in two years at Valhalla.
Azinger, a former PGA champion and cancer survivor who played in four Ryder Cups without losing a singles match, has been selected the next American captain, according to two people with knowledge of the appointment.
They did not want to be identified because the PGA of America has not announced its selection, which could come as early as next week.
Azinger did not immediately return a phone call.
He will be in charge of a U.S. team that has iost three straight times to Europe, including record margins (18 1/2-9 1/2) the last two matches. Last month in Ireland, Europe became the first team to win all five sessions of the matches.
The PGA of America had talked to Azinger about being captain for the '04 Ryder Cup — a captaincy that would have gone to his close friend, Payne Stewart, who died in a plane crash in 1999 — but he declined.

Celtics' legend laid to rest in simple ceremony
FALLS CHURCH, Va. Red Auerbach was buried in a simple graveside ceremony, with Hall of Famers Bill Russell and
John Thompson and commissioner David Stern among those paying last respects.
About 150 family, friends and special guests attended the private burial for the NBA great at the King David Memorial Gardens in suburban Washington.
Auerbach, who won nine NBA titles with the Celtics as a coach and seven more as a general manager, died after a heart attack near his Washington home Saturday at age 89.
Lakers' Bryant sits out season opener
LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant sat out the Los Angeles Lakers' season opener against the Phoenix Suns because

of soreness in his surgically repaired right knee.
Bryant underwent arthroscopic surgery in mid-July, and missed the Lakers'eight exhibition
games.
He said he wouldn't travel for Wednesday night's game at Golden State, either, but hoped to return either Friday or Sunday.
Before the game, the Lakers signed Brian Cook to a two-year contract extension.

who decided not to appeal his suspension for testing positive for steroids.
Merriman, who's tied for the NFL lead with 8 1/2 sacks, and his attorney have blamed a tainted supplement for the player's positive test for the steroid nandrolone.
Yankees' Steinbrenner hospitalized
The suspension won't officially begin until after Merriman addresses his teammates on Wednesday. After that, he'll be barred from the team's headquarters until he's eligible to return on Nov. 27.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was hospitalized for the second time in three year

The 76-year-old Steinbrenner was taken by paramedics to UNC Hospitals on Sunday, The Daily Tar Heel reported. Steinbrenner was released Monday morning and returned to Tampa, Fla., spokesman Howard Rubenstein said.
Steinbrenner fainted at a memorial service for football great Otto Graham in Sarasota, Fla., on Dec. 27, 2003.

Trump shows too much patriotism for neighbors
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Donald Trump's display of patriotism is apparently too flamboyant for this chic oceanside town.
Palm Beach officials cited Trump for hoisting a large American flag atop an 80-foot pole at his lavish Mar-a-Lago estate and club.
Town officials said the real estate mogul has violated zoning codes with a flagpole taller than 42 feet and for erecting it without a building permit and permission from the landmarks board. Trump has until Nov. 27 to apply for approvals or face a Dec. 21 code enforcement hearing that could result in $250-a-dav fines.
Trump responded in a letter last week saying that "anyone who objects should not, in my opinion, hold a public office of any kind — at least not in this country."
"You don't need a permit to put up the American flag," Trump said.
Tuesday. "The day you need a permit to put up the American flag, that will be a sad day for this country"

He rejected efforts by a human rights group to hold up the adoption to make sure no Malawian laws were broken.
"Madonna explained to me that she wanted to adopt my son," Banda was quoted as saying in the interview, which took place Friday. "She assured me she would take good care of David and raise him in peace."

'Horns hook 'Hawks in three-game sweep
Kansas still winless on road in conference play
It was no surprise when the Kansas volleyball team hit a road block last night at Texas.
Kansas (10-13, 3-11 Big 12) was swept by a strong Texas team (16-5, 11-3) by scores of 20-30, 25-30 and 20-30 in Austin, Texas at Gregory Gym.
The Jayhawks still have not won any of their seven conference road matches, and playing the No. 8 Texas Longhorns didn't help them break that streak.
"They're real physical," Katie Martinicin, freshman setter, said. "We did a good job extending plays, but overall, they got on a few runs which made the difference."
Despite the loss, Martinicich needs just six more assists to hit the 1,000 assist milestone for the season. She had a team-high 31 assists during the match.
"The cool thing about that is it is not just me," she said. "It means we have to get passing involved and our hitters have to be playing well."
T he Long horns never trailed during the first
defense played better during the second game and held Texas to a .318 hitting efficiency.
Down by two games, Kansas could not muster an offense in game three; its hitting efficiency was a match-low .082. Texas had 21 kills in the game compared to Kansas' 11.
Emily Brown, junior right side hitter/setter, had a double-digit night for Kansas with 10 kills and 10 digs.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said he was pleased with how his team played against a top-ten opponent.
Texas' reigning Big 12 Player of the Week, freshman outside hitter Destinee Hooker, had a match-high 15 kills to lead Texas.
The Jayhawks' NCAA tournament dreams, though remote, are still a possibility. Kansas will need to go 5-1 to finish the season in order to qualify for postseason eligibil-

The Longhorns continued dominating the Jayhawks in game two. Kansas cut the deficit to three, 20-23, but could not catch up to Texas, which won by five. The Kansas

Kansas will travel to Ames, Iowa to face Iowa State (16-7, 8-5) this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. The Cyclones swept
the lajwhaws earlier this season in Lawrence.
"The Big 12 in general is tough, so we're going to have to battle every time," Bechard said. "We've got three more opportunities on the road and we will get better."

BY ASHER FUSCO
In the days leading up to the first tip-off of the 2006 season, coach Bonnie Henrickson left the fans, the media, and her players in the dark. Henrickson did not announce to anyone the starting lineup for the Jayhawks' first exhibition game against Fort Hays State until just before the start of Wednesday's action.
With seven freshmen on the roster, Henrickson had a lot of personnel choices. Come game time, Sade Morris was the only freshman on the court for the Jayhawks, but each of the seven new Jayhawks saw their first collegiate action during the first half.
"Sade was very aggressive and confident," said Hendrickson. "She
assist with an easy趴up on two of Kansas' early possessions. Several minutes into the game, it was clear whatever apprehension she felt about her debut in Allen Fieldhouse was nowhere to be found.
"The college game is much more intense than high school," Morris said. "But honestly, I didn't feel too nervous."
Although she scored only two points in the second half, Morris' quick start helped Kansas jump out to an early lead that the team would not relinquish.
Morris continued to assert herself on offense throughout the first half, often driving through the lane at her leisure on the way to 12 first-half points.
really was a pleasant surprise tonight."
Some of the other fresh faces helped Kansas in less flashy ways. Lindsay Ballweg and Kelly Kohn provided enough defensive intensity to hold Fort Hays State to 20 percent field-goal shooting in the first half and 33.3 percent overall.
Danielle McCray and LaChelda Jacobs were strong on the boards, gathering 11 combined rebounds. In 17 minutes of playing time, McCray also managed to tally 13 points and three assists.
"I think of myself as a player who provides some scoring," said McCray. "At the same time, I've been working hard on my defense."
The drawbacks of having such a young roster were apparent at times during the game. During an
extended stretch in the middle of the second half, the Lady Tigers out hustled, out-shot, and generally outplayed the Jayhawks. Fort Hays State benefited from a lightning-quick eight point barrage from one of their own freshmen, Naomi Bancroft.
Henrickson attributed her team's second-half lapse to a lack of experience but seemed confident the Jayhawks would improve quickly.
With games at Wisconsin and Indiana fast-approaching, fans of Kansas women's basketball have to hope Henrickson's optimism is warranted.

letter from the editors
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
AND MICHAEL PHILLIPS
EDITOR@KANSAN.COM
Attending the University of Kansas means attending KU basketball games.
The two seem to go hand-in-hand for students, as well as faculty and staff. It's so important that students have to camp out days before a big game, just to get a good seat in Allen Fieldhouse.
I think we can all remember our first time camping the 6 a.m. shift at the Fieldhouse, looking jealously at the other groups who knew to bring air mattresses. But on game night it's all worth it, as you lock arms with 16,299 of your closest friends for the singing of the alma mater.
It's in that spirit that we bring you this year's The University Daily Kansan basketball preview. Anticipation runs high every year, especially for those of us
eager to forget football season, but this year the men's basketball team is favored by some to win the national championship in Atlanta next April.
The Kansan will be there for every game, with complete coverage in the newspaper and live coverage year-round at Kansan. com.
The women's basketball team is also in anticipation of a season that could turn out any number of different ways. Seven freshmen will look to establish themselves as the class that vaults Kansas into the Big 12's upper-tier.
Tonight at Allen Fieldhouse the season will get underway, but first take a minute to read about the coaching staff and the players that will make an impact this year for both teams. We also caught up with a Jayhawk who knows a thing or two about winning. Enjoy!

Henrickson settling in during third year Players appreciate her motto for the team, enjoy coaching strategies
BY JILLIAN GARRETT
Sharita Smith had just finished her freshman year when she found out about coach Marian Washington quitting. Along came Bonnie Henrickson, a coach who had a record of 158-62 and seven post-season appearances at her previous school Virginia Tech.
"It hasn't been a hard transition," Smith, now a senior guard, said. "When a new coach comes, you've got to respect them."
In just two seasons, Henrickson has brought the women's team to a new level. Last season, they started out 12-0, including a win over top 25 Texas. They finished the season 17-13 after a two-point loss in the NIT tournament.
"Her motto is "Together we can," Smith said of Henrickson. "And we've come to believe that."
But that was then. She's now in her third season and expectations are high. Her team is almost officially her team: Washington's recruits have dwindled down to one, and the freshmen class is up to seven, a class that is in the top 20 of recruiting classes in the nation.
"She expects us to work," Lindsay Ballweg, freshman guard said. "And I'll do whatever I can."
Henrickson's respect has a lot to do with recruiting, but last year Katie Smith, sophomore guard, decided to try her luck at walking onto the newly remolded team.
Smith said Henrickson was a big factor in deciding whether to try out for the team.
"I had heard a lot about her," she said.
Although Henrickson has gained respect as a coach she still has only two years under her belt.

Coach Bonnie Henrickson enters her third season with a new team that is a "breath of fresh air."
In the 2004-2005 season, her team grabbed the most wins the Jayhawks have had in four years. And the post season appearance at the NIT tournament was the University's first since 2000.
"Our chemistry is good. It's the best since I've been here," Henrickson said.
Henrickson came to Kansas with a challenge awaiting her. With a record sitting of 3,000 plus fans attending the women's games last season, this year might break even more attendance records.
But in the end, it's all about the team on the court and the amount of effort they're exerting.
"These kids have been a breath of fresh air," Henrickson said. "I love their energy. We've got a lot of work to do, but I have a group that wants to work and that's exciting."

Seven freshmen look to shape the team's future
BY MEGAN O'MANNEY

This season's women's basketball freshmen will be asked to make an immediate contribution.
The echo of a bouncing basketball rings through the empty halls of Allen Fieldhouse. It is late, but Lindsay Ballwug, Shawnee freshman, is diligently practicing her shot. She knows that as one of seven incoming freshmen, much is expected from her and her fellow recruits.
Between practice and class, she is trying to adjust to college life while balancing the demanding schedule of college athletics. For the jayhawks this year, freshman contribution will not only be expected; it will be inevitable.
With seven of the 14 roster players coming in for their first year, the freshmen will have little time for adjustment before taking center stage.
"Considering that almost half of the team are freshmen, it's been pretty smooth," coach Bonnie Henrickson said of the transition.
The Jayhawks have succeeded in attaining their second-straight top 25 recruiting class. Two of the freshmen are locals from the Kansas City area, Danielle McCray of Olathe and Lindsay Ballwee of Shawnee.
The other five recruits are
Rebecca Feickert of Goodrich, N.D., LaChelda Jacobs of Mansfield, Texas, Kelly Kohn of Adrian, Mich, Sade Morris of Norman, Okla. and Porscha Weddington of Temple, Texas.
After the layhawks' first postseason bid since 2000 last season, Henrickson hopes to continue building the program. The speed and agility of the freshmen class will no doubt aid that goal. Henrickson praised the class as "the most fit group of freshmen I've seen in 20 years of coaching."
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the freshman class is LaChelda Jacobs. Originally committed to TCU, Jacobs has made a home here in Lawrence, which is great news for the Jayhawks.
Henrickson is impressed by her "athleticism, ability to make plays and really get to the rim."
Another freshman standout is Kelly Kohn, who has great vocal leadership and presence on the floor. Overall, the freshmen bring "lots of energy" to this young but promising basketball team.
The freshmen have been training since June and July, giving the women time to adapt and bond

before classes start. Ballweg said she was glad for the early start.
"Now that practice is starting we already know a lot, and if we would have just come here when school started, it would be a lot different," she said.
Since the majority of the team is inexperienced on both the offense and defensive end, Henrickson has placed great emphasis on the defense. She knows they are capable of running because they have such speed and depth on the bench.
There won't be redshirts, as she wants to give each freshman a chance to contribute to the team.
"They've got a lot to learn, but they're anxious to learn, they want to learn, they want to be good," she said.
Florida game highlights schedule

BY JEFF DETERS
While tonight is only an exhibition game, Kansas fans are already looking ahead to the big games on this year's men's basketball schedule.
Highlighting the non-conference portion of the schedule are games against defending national champion Florida, home games against USC and Boston College and a road game at DePaul.
Fans aren't the only ones anticipating the Nov. 25 game against Florida. Sophomore guard Mario Chalmers is as well.
"They're the defending national champions," Chalmers said. "So that's going to be a real good game."
Though Chalmers is excited about playing Florida, coach Bill Self down played the attention the game is attracting.
"We haven't talked about Florida," Self said. "I think we'll be excited to play. I'd imagine Florida will be excited to play us. But Florida is not a circle game."
One player who has marked a particular game on his calendar is Julian Wright, sophomore forward and Big 12 Co-Preseason Player of the Year.
The Jayhawks will play DePaul on Dec. 2 in Chicago, Wright, a native of Chicago Heights, Ill., said having the opportunity to play in front of friends and family was a great opportunity, but he wouldn't let distractions get in the way of winning the game.
"It's good to go home," Wright said. "But I still have to be focused on what we're trying to do there."
The Jayhawks will end nonconference play Jan. 7 on the road against South Carolina. Three days later, Kansas will open Big 12 play at home against the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Highlighting this year's home conference schedule are games against Missouri and Kansas State. The Jayhaws will play the Tigers at home Jan. 15 as part of ESPNs Big Monday. The Wildcats will visit the Fieldhouse Feb. 7, and the Jayhaws will look to avenge last year's home-court loss.
said every game was equally important and each game provided a unique opportunity to get better.
Though rival games stand out, sophomore forward Matt Kleinnmann
"Every game, we're looking to improve upon last year," he said. "And the only way to do that is to win every game we can."
The Jayhawks return all five starters from last year's team, and are picked to win their third Big 12 Conference championship for the third year in a row. And many have predicted the Jayhawks will dance all the way to the Final Four in Atlanta. But Self isn't ready to punch his plane ticket just yet.
"My goal for this team would be to enjoy the process and get better every day," he said. "Then all those other things take care of themselves. I think if we're able to do that, I think this team would have a chance to have a great year."

Kaun's expectations sky-high

Junior center Sasha Kaun enters this season with high expectations for himself and the team.
BY ALISON CUMBOW
Known as the 'Smasher-machine' by his fellow teammates, and a self-proclaimed 'computer geek', Sasha Kaun, is about to start his third season as the center for Kansas.
Kaun, at 6-foot-11, is all he's cracked up to be.
"I've been doing a lot of lifting lately, and of course running." Kaun said.
After taking the summer off to return home to Russia and do a summer workout, Kaun was looking forward to a great season and getting back into the swing of things.
» Kaun, the computer science major, said he played a little too much 'World of Warcraft' in his spare time.
Unfortunately, his playing time will be cut short due to an injury in practice on Saturday. He is out three to six weeks because of a torn patella tendon in his right knee. No surgery is necessary though.
Despite the injury, his expectations for himself are still high.
This season, Kaun will work on the defensive side of his game and to build even more endurance.
Those who know him are aware of his size and talent.
"If you get hit by one of Sasha's elbows, you'll just fall down," Darnell Jackson said. "That's how strong he is."
Before attending Kansas, Sasha attended a drawing school.
Rex Walters, former Kansas basketball player and 16th pick in the NBA draft, also complimented Kaun.
"Sasha has great size, and could be looked at for the NBA," he said.
Kaun seems hopeful about the possibility of an NBA career.
"it's something you always want to get to do, its every college players' dream," he said.
Last season, Kaun started 29 out of 33 games, averaged 8.2 points a
game and was second on the team in rebounds. He also led Kansas in scoring four times.

Kaun's hopes are high, his body is ready and his mind is set for a goal-accomplishing year.
"We have good team chemistry",
he said. "There are some of us that have been playing together for a

while now, and we all have really high standards for each other."

Jackson getting ready for playing time battle with Kaun
BY JACK CONNOR
Darnell Jackson is excited to make up for lost time this basketball season.
The Midwest City, Okla., junior, who missed the first nine games last year because of suspension, is ready to contribute to the team in any way he can.
"It feels good," jackson said of the season beginning. "I'm glad I'm back out here. When Nov. 2 comes around, it starts from there."
Jackson has worked hard this offseason, specifically focusing on strength and conditioning. Jackson says he's added muscle to his 250-pound frame.
"I got a lot stronger working out with Coach Hudy," Jackson said of his workouts with the strength coach.
Sasha Kaun also believes that Jackson will have a big effect this year. Kaun attributes Jackson's improvement to hard work in practice.
That extra bulk should help Jackson be a force in the post. Last year, Jackson averaged 4.9 rebounds per game, which was good enough for third on the team. With the suspension of C.J. Giles, Jackson will be called on even more to be a presence near the basket.
"Darnell is becoming more and more active," Matt Kleinmann said. "He's not afraid of what he can do now with his size and athleticism."
"He has become a lot better player," Kaun said of Jackson's improvement. "He's come a long way, he's become tougher."
Jackson, Kaun, Julian Wright, and Darrell Arthur figure to battle for playing time at forward, but Jackson sees this as a benefit. He believes he needs to work hard and be consistent to help the team.
Jackson did not start playing basketball until he was in ninth grade
His favorite movie is "Toy Story"
His nicknames include "Big D" and "D-Block."

"It's going to be crazy," Jackson said of the battle for playing time. "It always comes down to the hardest worker. Consistency is going to be very important to me."
Kaun agrees that the depth of forwards will help the team out this year.
"It's a lot of fun playing our best and battling for playing time." Kaun said. "We have so much talent and depth, it's going to help make us better."
According to Jackson, it doesn't
matter if he scores the most points or the least points at the end of the day, as long as the team wins and makes it far into the postseason.
"The main thing is to help the team," Jackson said. "I've never said I have a personal goal, it's the team. It's always about the team."

Wright the mentor to a young team
Teammates praise his intelligence and advice, try to imitate him
BY CLAUDIA ALTERMAN
After finishing his freshman year in the starting lineup, Julian Wright enters his sophomore season with an array of accolades.
Most recently Wright and his teammate Brandon Rush were named Co-Big 12 Preseason Players of the Year. Last year, he was a member of the Big-12 All-Rookie team, named Big 12 Rooke of the Week in February, an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention, and a part of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship All-Tournament team.
Wright, a 6-foot-8 sophomore guard, not only came back with accolades, but also great anticipation.
"My perimeter game has developed much better," he said. "I have done little things to be able to play the perimeter better to make me more of an inside-outside threat."
Physically, Wright comes back with added strength and explosiveness. He thinks this will give him enough strength to get through practice.
Wright, who is expected to play down low and up at the perimeter more this season, also came back with better understanding of positions.
"I have to know a lot more, because I'll most likely be playing both positions," Wright said.
Along with praise and expectations comes a lot of pressure. Coach Bill Self, and Wright's teammates, have confidence in Wright's capabilities to fulfill everyone's expectations.
» Is projected by NBADraft.net to be the seventh pick in next year's NBA draft, if he decides to make himself eligible.
"He is one of the best passers I have ever seen for his size," freshman guard Sherron Collins said.
Playing at the perimeter will open
»» in his spare time, Wright is an avid bowler, and can often be seen at the Jaybow.
up even more passing options for Wright.
"I went to the Nike camp and the Jordan camp over the summer, and I know that I can at least hang with the best basketball players in the nation at the perimeter position. I took that confidence with me," Wright said. Some aspects of playing a guard's position have been more difficult for Wright to adjust to. He said "the guards are quicker and get the ball off faster, it makes it that much harder."
But Wright has other options. He said if it were not for basketball he would be pursuing a career in communications in hopes of starting an organization to help children in Chicago.
He's not too worried: "I just have to have quick feet and react much faster."
He is prepared to be a leader on this year's squad. Wright thinks he has the intangibles necessary as well as the leadership abilities.
However, Wright will not be leaving the realm of basketball anytime soon.
"If basketball does not work out in the future, I feel I have something to fall back on," Wright said.
"I've been looking forward to
being a leader vocaly and am eager to do it", he said.
His teammates seem eager, too.
"I look up to him, freshman guard Darrell Arthur said. "He is probably the smartest guy on the team. He is taking so many classes and working so hard. On the court, I try to mold my own after him."
Collins is also appreciative of Wright.
"He brings great advice; to take in as much you can and not let anything get to your head," Collins said. "He was in the same place I was last year with high expectations."
Junior guard Russell Robinson said Wright is ready for his potential leadership role.
"Julian has a unique personality, and I think that is his biggest attribute to the team," he said. "He's so positive, and it's positive for all of the people who are around him."
Without a senior on the squad, the team is looking for someone to step up as a leader. Wright may have just what it takes.

Juilan Wright speeds most of his time inside the paint, but during the offseason he has worked on his perimeter skills to become a better all-around player.

NBA can wait for Rush
Sophomore guard works on ball handling skills waits another year before deciding on pro draft
BY KYLE CARTER
In the weight room, Rush bench presses 235 pounds and squats 375 pounds.
He said his favorite thing about Lawrence other than basketball is the party scene. "I like to go to a club and chill, dance a bit," he said.
After leading the Jayhawks in scoring and landing a spot on the All Big 12 first team as a freshman, expectations are sky high for sophomore Brandon Rush. Taking home honors as the conference's preseason co-player of the year heightened anticipation for his performance this season even more. Coach Bill Self doesn't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
"It puts a target on their back and gives them a little more pressure," Self said of the preseason accolades awarded to Rush and fellow Jayhawk Julian Wright. "I think this team needs to operate under duress."
Last season Rush's biggest weakness was ball handling. He favored his right hand and turned the ball over 83 times during the season. Teammates said they've been impressed with the work Rush put in to improve his ball handling over the summer.
"He's been working on it day in and day out," junior guard Roderick Stewart said. "I think he's gotten a lot better."
Rush spent three weeks of the summer in Los Angeles training with his older brother Kareem, often playing one-on-one as a part of their workout. Rush said that Kareem won
the majority of the games but they were always competitive. He estimated that he beat his older brother at least 10 times.
Kareem plays in the NBA for the Seattle Sonics and his success has been part of the reason for the high expectations surrounding Rush. Growing up as the younger brother of a national star, people have expected big things from Rush for years.
"I'm used to being in the spotlight, but there's still a lot of pressure," he said. "I've got to live up to what Kareem's doing."
Many expect Rush to join his brother in the NBA following his sophomore season.
Coach Self said that fans and media should avoid writing this year off as Rush's last.
"Didn't everyone assume last year that it was his only year?" Self said. "He'll have some decisions to make later. We're just going to let it play
Rush agreed with Self that now isn't the time to make that decision.
out."
"I don't think it's fair to assume that," Rush said. "I don't think it's right for the team or for myself."
Though Rush showed flashes of brilliance last year, he struggled at the end of the season, shooting a combined 13 of 42 in the final four games.
Self said that he felt Rush still has a lot to prove.
"I love it when our guys get accolades, but they're co-players based on one word: potential," he said. "Living up to the potential, in most people's eyes, would be having a remarkable season."

Sophomore forward Brandon Rush is in no hurry to jump to the NBA. He has worked on his ball-handling skills in the offseason, and said that an preseason hape doesn't affect what he's doing. "I'm used to being in the spotlight," he said. He refuses to address a possible jump to the NBA.

Expectations high for Bill Self
With team ranked No.1, head coach still keeps main focus of athleticism
BY SHAWN SHROYER
With a team that doesn't include a single senior, most coaches would get a free pass. The season would be viewed as a rebuilding year to get the youngsters acclimated to college basketball.
However, as coach of a team that could start as many as three sophomores or even a couple freshmen, expectations have never been higher for coach Bill Self.
Self played his college basketball at Oklahoma State, under legendary coach Eddie Sutton
Fair or not, Kansas fans will be expecting Self and the Jayhawks to live up to their likely top-three preseason ranking. Of course, that's what happens when a coach has a junior class blessed with impact players in the frontcourt and the backcourt, who are complemented by four underclassmen who were McDonald's All-Americans.
"Living up to potential in most people's eyes would be having a remarkably great season," Self said. "My goal for this team would be, hey, let's just enjoy the progress and get better every day and all those other things take care of themselves."
He enjoys eating barbecue.
》 He was a finalist for the Coach of the Year award every year from 2000-2003.
Nevertheless, Self's careful recruiting job is maximizing talent and minimizing egos, according to players like junior guard Russell Robinson.
"The team chemistry is great. Coach Self did a great job recruiting," Robinson said. "He found the pieces that fit perfectly into what we try to do. Personality-wise they fit in great, and playing-wise they are awesome."
Robinson joins fellow junior Sasha Kaun, as the only upperclassman who should start every game for Kansas. Sophomores Brandon Rush, guard, and Julian Wright, forward, are sure to be in Kansas' starting
five, as well. The fifth spot, though,
could go to anyone, from sophomore
guard Mario Chalmers to freshman Sherron Collins, guard, or Darrell
Arthur, forward.
No matter what lineup Self chooses, it will spell one thing: athleticism — the type of athleticism that has dreams of full court presses and fast breaks dancing in Jayhawks fans' heads.
"I think we'll be able to run more," Self said. "Although I thought we ran pretty good last year, my definition of running and Kansas fans' definition of running may not be exactly the same thing, but we should play fast and we should be able to pressure a lot more."
What fans are perhaps most excited about this season is seeing what Self can do with a roster full of players that he recruited. The two highest-profile recruits Self brought in this season were Collins and Arthur, who were McDonald's All Americans last year. Stealing all the preseason hype so far, though, are Rush and Wright.
While Self believes he has the players he needs to win, he doesn't want to give the impression that he was just biding his time until the players he didn't recruit graduated.
"Last year's team was our team," Self said. "I'm really excited about everybody being 'our own,' but I felt they were all our own before. But this is a group that has really bought into what we're trying to do."

After trying to make it on his own, Chalmers embraced team concept
BY TAYLOR BERN
It's not uncommon to see a true freshman struggle in the beginning of his career, even one as talented as McDonald's and Parade All-American Mario Chalmer.
What is uncommon about the 6'1" guard from Anchorage, Alaska is the turnaround he made in the middle of the season and the "take no prisoners" attitude he flashed while leading Kansas to a Big 12 Tournament title.
His 16-point average over those three tourney games was the last good thing Chalmers could remember from a rough 2006 postseason, but that doesn't mean he and his teammate blocked out that 77-73 Bradley loss.
"My teammates were looking for me and my shots were just falling," said the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.
"We kind of put it away but that's still in our minds," he said. "It was a hard game for us; we weren't supposed to lose."
Basketball is a tradition in the Chalmers family. "Everybody in my family played. My great-grandpa, my grandpa, my dad, my mom and my sister," he said.
Chalmern netted 15 points before fouling out in that final game, leaving him with a bitter taste of postseason play and enough motivation to get serious in the weight room and add 10-13 pounds of muscle to his
Chalmers had 89 steals during the 2005- 06 season, which was the most in the Big 12.
otherwise slender frame.
"The thing I applaud him on is the improved strength he's shown in the weight room," fellow sophomore Julian Wright said. "That will help him finish more shots and have more legs under him at the end of the same."
At the beginning of his 2005-06 campaign, Chalmers didn't have time to worry about his physical condition, according to coach Bill Self, because he "was just trying to survive."
"It was hard at the beginning, because I thought I knew everything" he said.
Chalmers said his attitude made the transition to college difficult.
Things changed for the pre-season Big 12 honorable mention selection after a disastrous performance against California and a sit-down
with senior guard Jeff Hawkins.
Chalmers scored just one point and committed six turnovers in the 69-56 loss to the Golden Bears. A week later Hawkins pulled the struggling freshman from his dorm and took him out for a late dinner and some advice.
"I just started listening to him and thought, 'If Hawk can do it, I can do it,' said Chalmers.
Hawkins's words of wisdom also helped Chalmers learn to listen to his coach.
"It was pretty, tough early on," Chalmers said, "I was trying to do things too much on my own."

Jeff Boschee trades NBA spotlight for high school gym
BY IAN STANFORD
Clad in his old Jayhawk basketball shorts and a crimson shirt, Jeff Boschee stood alone at the top of the three-point key.
His placid eyes locked in on the basket, his face void of emotion, the former layhawk phenom has, as exKU assistant coach Ben Miller puts it, "ice in his veins." In what looked like one fluid motion, his feet set, his knees contracted, his toes pushed off, his arms raised and his wrist propelled the ball through the hoop, all in a little more than a second. Boschee is a graceful machine.
indows
"And this is where I made my game-winner against Colorado and Iowa State," he said, as he pulled up at the left elbow and drained another.
"That's where I made my first three and my record-breaking one," Boschee said, as he pointed to the left baseline corner as he pauses, slowly circling the three-point arch.
Three, four, five in a row; a small crowd of his high school basketball players gathered to watch the Big 12
all-time three-point record holder practice his three ball.
Former KU basketball player Jeff Boschee sits at his desk in the basketball office at Blue Valley Northwest, where he is an assistant coach. "I coach by simulating a real game situation," he said.
It had been more than four years removed from a meaningful game of basketball, but the 6-foot-1 Boschee claimed to be a better shooter, more conditioned and a better overall player now than he ever was in a Jayhawk uniform.
Photos by Kevin Grunwald
But since settling into the Kansas City area roughly a year ago, the only playing time that Boschee has been getting is through pick-up games at 24-Hour Fitness and during scrim-mages of the Blue Valley Northwest varsity basketball team, for which he is an assistant coach.
Boschee is still living the basketball life, though not the one he expected to be living at age 26.
"I expected to go to the NBA and become a spot shooter like Steve Kerr, or at the very least play in a European league with a big contract," Bosche said as he leaned back in coach Ed Fritz's desk chair, which he borrows when the coach is not around.
Behind him, instead of his
"I'm not very important around here." he said.

McDonald's All-American plaque prominently displayed on the wall, are Fritz's family photos and old Huskie composites. In the opposite corner, a football coach reviewed film from the previous night's game. A moldy smell from the adjacent locker room pervaded into the small, multi-purpose office.
Jeff Boschese helps Dillon Cortez, an eighth grader, with his technique during his one-a-week private basketball lessons. He runs his lessons at Blue Valley Northwest, and helps coach the team.
'Biggest regret of my life'
After the Jayhawk's 2001-2002 season ended, Boschee had momentum. His senior year ended with a loss in the Final Four to Maryland, the eventual champions. In the game, Boschee hit threes down the stretch to try to get the 'Hawks back in. "We all felt he had a chance to play in the NBA or overseas," Miller said.
"I just felt burn out from playing," Bosche said. "I missed being a normal college kid."
But after his senior season, Boschee decided that he would take a break from basketball and go back to school to finish his sports management degree.
Boschee's hiatus led him to turn down an invitation to attend the Portsmouth Invitational, a pre-draft camp for college seniors. He recalled previous coach Roy Williams explaining that it would be hard to go to the NBA after time off, but Boschee shrugged off the advice.
Cortez, an eighth grader, is a student in the Jeff Boschee Basketball Academy, under which Boschee gives private and semi-private basketball instruction to players of all ages and levels for some supplemental income when he's not busy coaching the Huskies.
By the time Williams came to him with another camp invitation, Boschee had not played in a month and a half. The first shot that the Big 12 all-time three-point record holder took after deciding to reconsider his choice was an air ball. His chances were shot.
Back on the court, Dylan Cortez awaited Bosche's command.
"It's the biggest regret of my life," he said.
After several brief stints in semi-pro American and pro European leagues, Boschee's playing career ended in fall 2005.
'Step into your shot'
With a simple "go" from Boschee, Cortez back peddled baseline to left elbow, sprinted across the free throw line, around a cone, took two steps before catching the ball in stride and immediately pulled up for an eight-foot jumper.
"Step into your shot," coach Boschee said.
A brick off the back iron.
The 13-year-old year old skinny point guard returned to the baseline and does a few more reps.
"Good," Boschee said, signifying the drill's completion. "Now make five."
Cortez needed no further explanation. He walked to the free throw line and started shooting free throws, lavishing the short reprieve before the next drill in the non-stop, hour-long workout.
Boschee works his players hard.
"I coach by simulating a real game situation," he said. "As a player, you've got to be able to make shots
at the end of the game when you're tired."
Boschee never had a problem with that.
"I thought he would make every shot he took," wrote Williams in an e-mail. "The time or score of the game never mattered to him. Nothing rattled him, he had such great poise."
Despite only being able to use that poise on the sideline, Boschee considers himself "90 percent content" with what he's doing today.
For now, Boschee wants to focus on coaching; this year, the Husky offense. Next year, Boschee hopes to get a job as an assistant on the University level and start working his way up the coaching ranks. Ultimately, he wants to lead a Division I program.
He doesn't plan on burning out this time.

Lack of seniors leaves leadership void
Juniors Case and Robinson expected to step up and take charge of youngsters
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas has yet to play a meaningful game, but it's clear that the jayhawks must find leadership.
This year's team has already had to deal with distractions stemming from NCAA sanctions and the suspension of a teammate.
The question is, who will lead this team?
it won't be a member of Kansas' senior class because, well, there is no senior class. For the first time since the 1974-75 season, Kansas will have no seniors.
The absence of even a single senior to start a season is a first for coach Bill Self.
"I've started a year with seniors before and finished with no seniors, but I guess to start with no seniors, this would be a first," Self said.
Without seniors like Kirk Hinrich, Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien and Christian Moody, this preseason has been a new experience for the players as well.
Junior forward Darnell Jackson said this preseason had been interesting because in past years, the seniors had the final say.
"With Wayne and them, they were running things, so if they told you to do something, you couldn't talk back," Jackson said. "Now if one of us says something to one of the sophomores, they're just like, 'Yeah, whatever'"
All kidding aside, the leadership responsibilities have fallen on the shoulders of the junior class.
Jackson is one junior capable of leading this team. Despite only one career start, he has been a spark plug off the bench for the Jayhawks.
Jackson_said he's_comfortable_as a role player.
"I'm going to do the same thing I've always been doing since I got here," Jackson said. "Just fill my role and help the team win."
Junior center Sasha Kaun has been a mainstay of Kansas' starting lineup with the second-most career starts of all the juniors. But Kaun doesn't think of himself as a team leader.
"I'm definitely trying to be, but I'm being more of a quiet team leader, doing the right things." Kaun said. "Hopefully people will look at me and say, 'That's the right way to do it; follow that.'"
Instead, the team leaders chosen from media day were junior guards Jeremy Case and Russell Robinson. Case, who has been at Kansas for four years but took a redshirt his sophomore season, has been the
team's vocal leader, while Robinson has led by example.
Case doesn't see the court as much as the rest of the junior class. He doesn't have any career starts and hasn't played half the minutes of his fellow juniors, but his extra year of experience at the collegiate level has made him a team leader. He said former Jayhawks Aaron Miles and Michael Lee influenced him the most to fill a leadership role.
"I've been here the longest, and I feel like I know the ropes," Case said. "Whenever I get a chance, I try to give advice or let them know how things are supposed to be."
Of all the juniors, Robinson has played the most minutes and started the most games. As a result, Robinson said he could see why his teammates considered him a leader.
playing experience, maybe, but it is what it is, and I have to make the most of what it is, and hopefully I can lead this team in the right direction." Robinson said.
Freshman guard Sherron Collins said that Case and Robinson had helped him find a comfort zone this preseason. Once the Jayhawks' regular season gets under way, the two will likely play different leadership roles during games.
"Probably because I have the most
Case, a three-point specialist, will probably continue to come off the bench and enter games to provide an offensive spark. But after last season, Self probably won't take Robinson out of games unless absolutely necessary.
"He was there for us last year," Jackson said of Robinson. "I think he's going to be there for us this year."
Last season on Jan. 28 at Iowa State, Robinson solidified himself as Kansas floor general. When Robinson was in the game, the Kansas offense ran smoothly. But once he was taken out, no matter who was at the point, the offense broke down and Iowa State crept back into the game.
With Kansas leading by just two early in the second half, Robinson hit two jumpers and a three-point shot in a 3-minute span to give Kansas a 12-point lead. Iowa State only got within seven points of Kansas the rest of the game.
Case hasn't let his lack of playing time stop him from taking advantage of every opportunity he's had to be a leader.
He said he encouraged the underclassmen as much as possible to make sure they knew the junior class was there for them.
And although Robinson has become the face of the junior class, he hasn't let it affect his ego. Instead, he's impressed his fellow juniors by bringing the same intensity to practice that he's displayed in games.
"He runs the court harder than anyone," Giles said of Robinson. "He wins every race to show that he is our leader."
Women's team hits road early Unlike last season, non-conference play will be no cakewalk

Going into the season, the University of Kansas women's basketball team will face a challenging schedule on top of having a team with seven freshmen. Unlike last year, the team will face non-conference games away from their home court.
"We had every single game here until after the New Year," junior forward Taylor McIntosh said. "I think more away games at the beginning of the season will help the team."
Along with tough non-conference games on the road, the Jayhawks will face tough Big 12 opponents at home.
"I looked at the schedule online, and we do have a tough schedule," senior guard Sharita Smith said. "We play some really good teams early. It will give the freshmen a chance on the court."
Even with a young team and a tough schedule, coach Bonnie Henrickson feels her team can respond.
"In high school, the freshmen traveled more than we did," she said. "I didn't think it was a negative last year to not travel, but now we can learn from the mistakes we had last year."
Last year, the Jayhawks got off to a quick start, winning a school-record 12 games in a row before finally losing their first away game at Nebraska. Kansas finished with only one road victory, in Ames, Iowa.
The kayhawks finished the season 17-13 and received a bid to the WNIT tournament. The WNIT was a step in the right direction for the team, but was not the outcome they were hoping for.
"It was a little bit of a let down last year going to the WNIT, senior forward Shaquina Mosley said. "I think we have the talent to be successful this season."
The team will only have one home game before they travel to Omaha, Neb to face Creighton. With half the team made up of freshmen, the Jayhawks will have to gain experience fast.
"We are going to have to work twice as hard because we are so young," freshman forward Rebecca Feickert said. "We are going to have to give 100 percent every night."
The Jayhawks will compete in the WBCA Classic Nov. 11-12 before having their first home game against UMKC Nov. 16th at 7 pm.

Freshmen bring rock star abilities, homegrown humility
BY C.J. MOORE
The three Jayhawk freshmen — Sherron Collins, Darrell Arthur and Brady Morningstar — are saying all the right things.
"I think were just going to do whatever coach Self asked us to do," Collins said. "We're not going to try to come out and try to be stars and try to take over the team."
But with two McDonald's All-Americans — Collins and Arthur—and a hometown hero in Morningstar, Jayhawk fans are expecting big things and so is Kansas coach Bill Self.
"When we recruit players, the perception is that they're going to step in and have an unbelievable impact, and that's not always the case," Self said. "These guys, primarily Sherron and Shady (Arthur), have a chance to have an immediate impact and I'm
not sure Brady is far off from having an immediate impact as well"
Sherron Collins
Without further ado, meet the class of 2010.
Collins is not like most freshmen.
Several weeks before practice started as the team underwent Self's two-week version of hell — his boot camp — Collins could be heard encouraging his teammates and leading several drills.
"He's a leader," junior Rodrick Stewart said. "Sherron is funny because not too many freshmen come in and just have that natural leadership ability like he does."
Collins said he was used to playing that role and he wouldn't have it any other way. When he started at point guard as a freshman at Crane High
School In Chicago, he was a leader right away.
He led Crane to two conference and city league championships, and led the way his senior year by scoring 33 points a game, averaging eight rebounds and diving on six assists.
"That's just me being normal, me being me," Collins said. "I know how to lead, how to talk to my teammates and just lead by example. At the same time, I have to gain their trust first to get them to listen to me."

Self realizes Collins' potential but isn't quite ready to hand over the keys to a freshman.
"I think Sherron has the intagliables to be a great leader," Self said. "But before he can become a great leader, he's going to have to figure out what's going on for himself."
Freshmen Brady Morningstar, Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur could have an immediate impact on a team looking for man

Arthur, a 6-foot-9-inch forward from Dallas, was one of the most highly sought after big men in the country and one of the last high-profile prospects to sign.
Whether he likes being sought after or is just a careful decision-maker, Arthur took his sweet time deciding to come to Kansas.
"When we went around the room yesterday and I talked about how much time we spent recruiting guys hard, and you could add up the whole room and it probably didn't add up to Darrell as far as the length of time," Self said. "Julian took 2 1/2 hours and Darrell took 2 1/2 years."
But Self knows Arthur could be
well worth the wait. He won back-to-back state championships at South Oak Cliff high school and was the co-Mr. Basketball in Texas his senior season, and he's shown Self a thing or two so far this fall.
"The reason he was being recruited so highly is he's got some natural things you can't teach," Self said. "He's got a body. He's got strength. He's got touch. He's got explosiveness."
Even with all the accolades, Arthur doesn't expect to be a big star right
away for the Jayhawks. He said he wanted to come in this season and block shots and get rebounds.
Arthur talks as if he'll be coming off the bench but Self has said he had a chance to start in the frontcourt with forward Julian Wright, whom Arthur tried to model his game after.
Brady Morningstar
Morningstar has heard the rumblings, as have his teammates, and his friends have told him what people are saying - he's here because of his dad, former Jayhawk Roger Morningstar, and because he played down the road at Lawrence Free State.
X
But his roommate Collins has already taken notice; this wasn't a politics signing, because Morningstar can play.
"Right now, a lot people think Brady won't play during the season," Collins said. "We do have a lot of talent and there's times that I might not even play, but Brady can shoot the ball well, he can pass the ball well and
Darrell Arthur's nickname is Shady.
he can jump high too."
Morningstar took his game to a prep school in New Hampshire last year to make sure he was ready to play at a school like Kansas.
Sherron Collins was a three-sport athlete at Crane High School. He pitched for the baseball team and played wide receiver/free safety for the football team. He was recruited by colleges in all three sports.
After graduating from Free State in 2005 as the Sunflower League player of the year, he had interest from smaller schools. But he said he wanted to get away from Lawrence for a year and season his game enough to be a jayhawk.
Morningstar was a star at New Hampton Prep, leading the 25-10 team by scoring 22 points per game.
After a solid AAU summer season in 2005, Self offered Morningstar a spot on this year's team.
"It's a dream but it's also a reality," he said. "I'm actually here now. It's the real deal. I'm here to get something accomplished."

What do you really know about oral contraceptives? BREAKING DOWN THE PILL
MARKETING MASTER
ILLUSTRATION/CATHERINE COQUILLETTE
A POLL OF ABOUT 75 STUDENTS AT KU SHOWS THAT:
86% Use a birth control method during sex
55% Of women who forgot to take the pill on schedule took double the dosage at a different time
63% Of those who use birth control,use the pill
10% Of women using the pill have used the pill as emergency contraception
85% Women using the birth control pill have taken it in a manner that would be considered less effective
20% Of women using the pill have used a pill that interfered with other medications
by Rachel Parker
Susie Santee, Lawrence sophomore, had been taking the birth control pill for about a year and a half before the unexpected conception of her son. She was taking Ortho-35, what she knew as the most average dosage among women."Everyone was basically on the same thing,"she says. When she asked the doctor about the surprising pregnancy, he simply replied,"it happens."
The birth control pill is the most common method of contraceptive used among women ages 15-29 in the U.S., according to statistics from the National Center for Health. Most women choose the pill because it's a method that is 98-99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy.
Unfortunately, the accuracy rate is only true with the "perfect use" of the pill—taking the pill consistently every day of the week, every week, at the same time each day. With typical use of the pill for a year, its effectiveness rate falls to 92 percent, according to the Mayo Clinic, a not-for-profit foundation for medical research. This means that, on average, instead of the one or two persons in 100 getting pregnant, eight out of 100 women will get pregnant.
Contraceptive consistency
It's important to take the pill at the same time every day to assure its 99 percent efficiency, says Carolyn Johnson, gynecologist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, 1200 Schwegler Drive. Forgetting to take the pill and then taking a higher dose later can affect hormone
levels, increasing the possibility of pregnancy. "If you let your hormone levels drop way down, your ovaries will start working again," she says.
Women can also use the pill as emergency contraception by taking more pills at a time within 72 hours after intercourse.Using
UNFORTUNATELY, THE 98-99 PERCENT ACCURACY RATE IS ONLY TRUE WITH REGARD TO "PERFECT USE" OF THE PILL.
How it works
pills stop the ovaries from producing and releasing new eggs, basically stopping ovulation completely.
this method, seven out of eight women who would normally conceive during a sexual encounter wouldn't, Johnson says. However, this method usually requires the usage of four pills that aren't supposed to be used during those days. If using the pill as an emergency contraceptive, contact a pharmacist to get more pills and resume taking pills on schedule.

$13-$19 per month
There are two basic birth control pills on the market. The combination pill is the most common form of the pill and releases both estrogen and progestin into the bloodstream. The "mini pill," contains only progestin. Both of these
There is also a seasonal oral contraceptive that is similar to the combination pill, but it is taken in three-month cycles to give women a menstrual period only four times a year. The failure rates for all three pills are between 1 and 2 percent, which accounts for the percentage effectiveness on the package for the pill, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Side effects
While are associated with the pill, they are not as common as women claim they are. "If you take 1,000 women and put them on the pill and take another 1,000 off the pill, the same amount of women will gain weight." Johnson says.
WATKINS MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER CURRENTLY PROVIDES:
Along with an imposing a risk of pregnancy, birth control pill usage includes possible side effects that might affect the consistency of taking the pill. Many women blame the pill for weight gain, nausea, breast tenderness and mood changes.
Finding the right pill for you is important.It may take a while to match the right pill to the right woman.
If a woman decides to switch pills because of side effects, she needs to

switch without skipping a pill and make sure the new pill doesn't conflict with other medications to ensure efficiency.
Watkins pharmacy alone carries almost 60 different types of birth control pills.
There have been many research studies done to find out if men can take some type of birth control pill, relieving women of some responsibility for pregnancy. No conclusive pill has been created — yet. This is because a contraceptive pill for men would have to stop sperm production rather than just the release of hormones as it does in women.
Can men take the pill?
"It would have to work in a transient way to stop sperm production, but reducing testosterone in men is not good." Johnson says.

bearing it all for a Brazilian
by Jacky Carter Think you know pain? Try having all your pubic hair ripped out.
My nether region is not happy.
She is scared and on display and not looking forward to what's about to happen.
I'm scared too. I'm waiting on a table with a small hand towel barely concealing my girl parts. From the waist up, I'm fully dressed. I actually look like I could be going to work — I'm wearing a green button down shirt and a white cardigan — but I'm in a salon, horizontal, waiting to be stripped of all my public hair. The woman I've entrusted to do this,
Alex, left the room for me to take off my pants and underwear so I'm just lying on the table, staring at the ceiling, wondering what I've gotten myself into.
I have never had any waxing — Brazilian or otherwise — so leaving such a delicate area in the hands of a stranger makes me nervous. I clutch the sides of the table for support. Alex comes over to my side, stirs the soy-based wax and prepares the strips. She moves calmly, and as we talk, her soothing voice slows my racing heart. In linen pants and flip flops, she exudes comfort. Just as I stop freaking out, Alex positions a lamp over my vagina, looking at the job before her.
of a heart or a star seems silly. And the "landing strip," made famous in Playboy, which leaves a vertical strip of hair, just doesn't seem right either.
Take it all off, I say.
And thus begins one of the most painful experiences of my life.
Do you want to remove everything or leave a little, she asks.
I contemplate my options. If I'm getting a wax, I might as well have her remove everything. Some people opt for shapes, but having a patch of pubic hair in the shape
You can't tell from our conversation that I'm battling extreme anguish. Do you go to school here? What is your major? How old are you?
AND AS MUCH AS YOU'RE GONNA SAY YOU DON'T HAVE HAIR THERE, FACE IT. YOU DO.
As I discuss my December
graduation and plans to enter the magazine world, Alex has me position my legs in the shape of the number four. My left leg is straight and my right leg
bends and touches my left knee.
She starts by my leg sockets. I hadn't considered that this was the least sensitive spot to wax and that it would only get worse. Alex applies the wax — it is warm and feels good. Mid-conversation, before I realize what's happening, she pulls off the wax strip.
OK. Not too bad, I think to myself.
I can do this.
After she strips sections, Alex uses tweezers to remove any stray hairs. Then she gently applies tea tree oil.The natural antiseptic helps prevent bumps and infections from having open hair follicles.
Our conversation about East coast versus West coast and living in Europe almost distracts me from what is going on down below. Lest I forget, my new friend is staring at my vagina the entire time.
So far, the pain isn't bad and the

situation of exposing my private parts to someone I've known five minutes isn't awkward. I think of her like a gynecologist — she has looked between the legs of so many women that she's used to it.
For nearly 30 minutes, Alex efficiently and thoroughly strips away my pubic hair. Sometimes the little pricks don't hurt. But as she moves closer toward my labia, the pain becomes more intense. Sometimes it hurts so bad I have flashbacks to the waxing scene in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Sometimes I have to pause the conversation when she rips off my hair because I can't think about anything but the pain. And sometimes, my whole lower half jolts a few inches off the table in shock.
Oh no, my vagina is certainly not happy.
But for some reason, women endure the pain of Brazilian waxing, some as often as every four to six weeks, in order to be hair-free. The Brazilian wax differs from other waxing, like bikini waxing, because it also removes hair from your ass crack. And as much as you're gonna say you don't have hair there, face it. You do.
The technique originated in — you guessed it — Brazil. Women's bathing suits were becoming more revealing in the '70s (think thong bottoms) and the standard bikini wax wasn't cutting it anymore.
Brazilian waxes didn't really find a following in the United States until the early '90s. They didn't become popular until recently — thanks to celebrities, including Scarlett Johannson, Gywneth Paltrow and characters on Sex & the City. The first American Pie movie even has a scene where one of the characters is so turned on by seeing his first Brazilian wax that can't maintain control of his bodily functions.
Before you make an appointment with a waxer, it's important to go in for a consult first, says Starr Ottlinger, a licensed cosmetologist at Strands Salon & Day Spa. Some women can't handle having their upper lip waxed, and that's completely different from the Brazilian area.
06> JAYPLAY 11.02.2006
she says. Ottlinger has had clients come in for a Brazilian wax but couldn't make it past the bikini area.
Ifyoudecidetogettheprocedure done, make an appointment. Don't expect same-day service. The waxer cleanses the area before applying wax, but Ottinger recommends that the client wash herself before the appointment. You also need to make sure that the person performing the wax washes her hands and only dips a stick into the wax one time. Dipping
a used stick back into the pot can contaminate the wax and cause infections.
A l thoug Hottlering performs Brazilians, she says she also discourages them. "The hair is there for a purpose," she says. People read about Brazilians and think they're cool, she says, but waxing can also cause infections and ingrown hairs. The Hair Facts Web site, www.hairfacts.com/medpubs/waxmed.html, includes cases of medical complications from waxing. Whether you're having a Brazilian wax or just a bikini, make sure to use aloe, vitamin E or tea tree oil to soothe the skin and prevent infections.
Katie Johnson, Overland Park senior, has only
recently started getting Brazilian waxes, but she's hooked."The very first time was the worst pain in my entire life," she says. "I wanted to cry, but it hurt too bad."The waxes still hurt, but not nearly as bad as the first one, she says.
Johnson goes for a wax every

four or five weeks. The benefits of a Brazilian overshadow the pain, she says. It takes longer for her hair to grow back, and when it does, it's thinner and not spiky, she says. "You'll love it, but you have to do it again after the first time," she says. "It's amazing." She also says she feels cleaner and isn't bothered by shaving all the time anymore.
Just when I think Alex is finished, she asks me to bend my legs, pull them up to my chest and hold them there. This is when she gets to work on part of the process

exclusive to the Brazilian — ripping out all the hair I'm convinced isn't hiding between my butt cheeks.
Once Alex finishes and I can finally close my legs, she asks me to take a look. I don't really know what to say, as the pain resonating from my lower half has consumed my focus. "Oh, it looks nice," I tell her. I'm not in the habit of commenting on my vagina's appearance, but I figure a response is necessary in this situation.
ALTERNATIVES TO WAXING Sugaring
Similar to wax although not as popular, sugar waxing involves applying a sugary substance on hair. Just like waxing, this process uses a strip to adhere to the sug and rip out the hair. Sugar waxin isn't as messy as waxing because the substance is more water soluable.

Depilatories
After you saw a riveting *Who wears short shorts? She wears short shorts," commercial, I'm sure you rushed to the store to buy Nair. These types of products, which basically melt hair away, contain chemicals. I don't know about you, but I try to keep dangerous things away from my nether region. If you can handle the smell, save the depilatories for your legs or the moustache you're in denial about.
Electrolysis
If you want to say goodbye to your pubes for good, electrolysis is your godsend. The procedure involves putting a needle into the hair follicle and sending an electromagnetic pulse to stop the hair from growing. The cost ranges from $45 to more than $100 an hour and the amount of time it takes to remove hair varies with each person. An upper lip can take an hour. A guy's back can push 150 hours. The treatment can also take months to complete.
Plucking

BITCH moan
Niloofar Shahmohammadi
Please send your questions and concerns to bitch@kansan.com
Chris Raine
I HAVE A BAD SINUS INFECTION, AND I HAVE MUCUS EVERYWHERE — I MEAN EVERYWHERE. THE OTHER NIGHT AFTER SEX, MY BOYFRIEND MENTIONED THAT I WAS REALLY WET, BUT IT FELT DIFFERENT. ASIDE FROM THE OBVIOUS HEALTH CONCERNS, IT CUT DOWN ON THE FRICTION AND MADE SEX PRETTY UNSATISFYING. UNTIL THIS CLEARS UP, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
SUSAN, JUNIOR
Niloofar: Your sinus infection is showing up in your vagina? Sweetie, if you're using the word sinus as it is commonly used, then those are near your nose and the mucus you're experiencing further south is probably a yeast infection. The antibiotics you're on for your sinuses probably killed the good bacteria that would have otherwise prevented the infection. Yeast infections aren't something to worry about and can be cleared up relatively easily, but you need to go to the gyno because this "mucus" — or rather,
discharge — could be a symptom of something more serious, like an STD. As far as the friction, or lack thereof, you should hold off on the sex until you've seen someone about your "sinus infection." Until then, there are other ways to be sexual, like eating out together, if you know what I mean.
**Chris:** You should stop having sex, you sick freak! Your vagina is leaking germ-filled ooze, and that isn't an obvious sign to you to stop sticking things in there? You're like a kid who can't stop picking at a
scab, except in this case the scab is in your vagina. Leave it alone — a few days of celibacy won't kill you. It's not surprising your boyfriend found the sex "pretty unsatisfying," considering that he unwittingly dipped his penis into a pot of disgusting, infected gunk. When it starts burning when he pees, he'll know whom to blame. But, hey, look on the bright side — with the lack of friction brought on by your disgusting, slimy vagina, now you know what it's like to have your boyfriend last longer than two minutes.
Chris: How do you tell him his snorting is a disgusting turn-off? You just freaking tell him. While you're at it, look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you don't deserve anything better than a stupid snorer for a lover. For crap's sake, you're making me moan in misery just thinking about how much dumber I am for having spent five minutes answering this incredibly idiotic question. Snort.
MY BOYFRIEND SNORTS WHEN WE HAVE SEX. HE THINKS IT TURNS ME ON.
HOW DO I GET HIM TO STOP OR TURN IT INTO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE?
— NIKKI. FRESHMAN
Niloofar: Are you dating Steve Urkel? Luckily, therealthingsyou can do to change behaviors you don't like. Try some constructive communication. "Steve, the snorting dries up my canal," is a little too direct and unnecessarily cruel. First, address the positives. "I love having sex with you, and just thinking about you makes me want to rip my clothes off!" Then use "I" statements, like, "I feel sort of silly/strange/confused when you snort during sex." I
just don't know what to make of it, but I feel bothered by it." Be specific about your request. "It would make me feel better if you moaned or did something else to show me you're enjoying it, because I associate that with pleasure more than snorting, which, once again, just confuses/frightens me." Be smart about timing. Bringing it up during sex or in public, really isn't a good idea. Bringing it up at some point and having snort-free sex is.

by Bart Vandever
YOUTUBE.COM AND TRADITIONAL TELEVISION NETWORKS
Leading the charge in online video is YouTube.com, which has, according to Alexa.com, climbed to the seventh most popular site on the Web. Currently, more than 100 million videos are available, while 65,000 more are uploaded each day.
YouTube allows anyone with Internet access to, without charge, search for and play historical, music and independent videos. In June 2006, NBC took note of the site's success. The network began a partnership with YouTube whereby an official NBC channel will be set up on the site, broadcasting clips of the popular sitcom The Office among others.
MTV has also capitalized on the web video phenomenon by signing 22-year-old Aziz Asaris's comedy troupe for a show to premiere in 2007. Asaris grew much of his audience online, via blogging sites, and his Shutterbugs comedy series on YouTube.
Budding filmmakers grow an audience on the Web
In the past,the most successful online filmmakers knew one way to tap into the bored human mind. Using their pixilated web cameras, they captured footage of their friends drinking gallons of milk, applying black magic marker to the faces of passed-out
friends or even break dancing in the nude.
Since then, YouTube, GoogleVideo and similar sites have exploded in popularity. Aspiring filmmakers have stepped up to the challenge of delivering quality goods to the wider audience these sites provide. They bring with them the age-old dreams of fame, money and respect.
Nolan T. Jones, Pittsburg senior, is one such filmmaker. In Jones's animated show, Zook

Mayhem, talking frogs, raccoons, koala bears and other animals offer witty commentary on popular culture, keggers and dorm life. The show recalls the cult cartoons on the late-night television block, Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. "Zook is about the culture of college, but moreover, it's a story about fighting apathy," Jones says.
The show has virtually no budget. Time is the biggest cost. Dutton, the lead animator of Zook, says it takes 10 hours to create one minute of animation. From there, it takes less than an hour to upload a video onto
The creation of a Zook episode starts with the writing of dialogue. From there, Richard Zayas, Smithville junior, and Riley Dutton, Arma junior, step in to refine the script. A microphone captures the actors' dialogue, and then the animation process begins.

Jones says. Zook's first episode premieres across the Web later this month.
Jones' online enterprises, such as his Web site and movie trailers, have yet to turn a profit, but to Jones, Internet video is merely a jumping off point. "The key to making money with this will come from merchandising and other products like DVDs and toys."

and Aaron Yonda. The duo began their online endeavors after their comedy series Chad Vader was rejected by the New York television networks. From there, they took things into their own hands, posting the video on YouTube and attracting a large crowd of avid followers by tapping into the Star Wars geek demographic.
The comedy chronicles the younger brother of Darth Vader, Chad, as the flustered and powerless day manager of a grocery store. He battles with the night time manager for better shifts, becomes infatuated with the check-out girl and struggles
with the ongoing eccentricity of the customers.
Despite the cult following, the filmmakers have made little money. Sloan, 33, still works at a bookstore in his hometown of Madison, Wis. After years of touring at Star Wars Conventions and film festivals, the online series is finally attracting attention from mainstream media. "We hope within the next few years the Internet will be as big as television," Sloan says. Besides attracting 2.5 million views, Sloan and Yonda premiered the show's fourth episode on ABC's Good Morning America on Oct.11.
Video sites are a great way for aspiring filmmakers to hone their craft and work outside of the foreboding studio system, says Shawn Roney, KU film graduate teaching assistant."The YouTube filmmakers have the same DIY spirit of the punk rockers from the 1970s.You don't have to be a virtuoso to make great stuff.You don't need a $1 million advance. Anyone can make movies,and that's really exciting."

Eat, Sleep, Repeat
Skin of Our Teeth
THEATER
The University Theatre opened its performance of Thornton Wilde's Pulitzer Prize winning play The Skin of Our Teeth last Friday night in the Crafton-Pryor Theatre.
The intentional absence of a play synopsis challenges the audience to figure out the plot. Although initially intriguing, the play quickly becomes a frustrating experience with nothing to rely on but a painfully attentive mind and a cast of colorful characters.
However, fabulous acting and the breaking of the "fourth wall" — when cast members momentarily step out of their roles to speak directly to the audience — sell the show. This adds humor and a sense of relief in an otherwise tense play. Characters such as Moses, Albert Einstein, Cain (of Cain and Able fame), and situations such as war, the Ice Age, The Great Depression and The Great Flood add enough levels to the piece to make a novice playgoer's head spin. When viewed as a whole, it is evident that the play was written in subliminal messages about the complexities of being human.
However, the message would have been clearer had anything in the form of a synopsis been provided to the audience.
The sets and costumes are wonderful, and the lighting adds a perfect touch of sunrise or melancholy blue when appropriate. Sabina (played by Kacie L. Dienstbach, Litteton, Colo., senior) carries the play with a contagious vigor and manages to stay away from the stereotypical and blase blonde her character could have so easily slipped into.
A definite brain buster, Skin of Our Teeth is worth the $10 student ticket price and adds variety to an otherwise drunkenly forgetful weekend. The play continues tonight and through Saturday with performances at 7:30 p.m., and finishes with a 2:30 Sunday matinee.

The Skin of
A Play Our Teeth
FOREWORD by PAULA VOGEL
Erica Prather
Copeland
TED CAMPBELL
With their third album Eat, Sleep,
Repeat, Copeland has once again
broken new ground. In Motion,
Copeland's 2005 release, was a more
piano-driven album compared to
2003's guitar-heavy debut, Beneath
Medicine Tree. Now, Eat, Sleep,
Repeat, with even more change, is
Copeland's best album yet.
The album starts strongly with the vibraphone and drum loop heavy "Where's My Head." Next, the title track combines vibraphone-heavy verses and guitar-heavy choruses to make for another great track. From there the album veers into other exciting territory: "Careful Now" brings to mind Radiohead's OK Computer and features a bridge reminiscent of "Strawberry Fields Forever" by the Beatles. "Love
Affair" has a jazzy bridge featuring a nice horn section backed by string flourishes. "I'm Safer On An Airplane"finds Copeland once again dabbling in electronic drumbeats; like previous efforts, it sounds great. "The Last Time He Saw Dorie" has some nice female vocals that help make the song an instant classic.
With Eat, Sleep, Repeat, Copeland shows that they're capable of trying new things and that, sometimes, new things sound great. They'll be bringing their new songs along with the old favorites to the Granada on Nov. 7. Lawrence's own The Appleseed Cast opens the show along with Acute and Owen.

SPEAK
MY PERMANENT RECORD
A ticket to regret, accept and love. by Katherine Loeck
I waited in the concrete cell with my face pressed against the small slip of a window that looked into an empty hall. I prayed aloud for someone to get me out. I think that two women were in the room with me. One was passed out; the other asked me why I was there, why I was so young. It's hard for me to remember exactly what went on in that locked room. I pretended it wasn't real.
I don't remember leaving, only seeing my parents waiting out front. Nothing in the world could have been better than the smile on my dad's face. He hugged me, kissed my cheek and said,"I love you."My mom wouldn't speak to me.
Early that morning, I had seen the blue and red lights in my rear-view mirror.On Jan.15, 2005, while home in Lincoln, Neb., I was pulled over after turning the wrong way onto a one-way street.After realizing my mistake, I turned onto a side street and continued to make my way home. I later found out I wasn't even headed in the right direction.My friends had tried to stop me from driving before I left. They offered to take me home, to let me stay with them. I wouldn't listen.I thought I was fine.
I was fine enough to land myself in the back of a police car. Despite the uncomfortable plastic seat, I didn't want the silent ride to end.
The officer took me to the detoxification center — "detox"
or "the drunk tank." He told me to stand on one foot and count one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, to 21 with my arms stretched out to the slides. I was convinced that I had passed the tests and that I would be let off the hook. What was someone like me doing in detox?
At the time I was an 18-year-old KU freshman with a 4.0 GPA. Wearing my jeans with the holes, a brown argyle cashmere sweater, a green silk flower in my blonde hair and my favorite gold earrings, I was out of place in the drunk tank. I sat on a cold metal folding chair for 30 minutes taking deep breaths in and out of my nose because I thought this would lower the concentration of alcohol in my blood (BAC). About an hour after being pulled over, my blood alcohol level was .169 — more than twice the legal limit.
The police charged me with driving under the influence, reckless driving and misrepresentation of age because the officer found my best fake ID in my glove box. I was sentenced to six months probation, and my license was suspended for 90 days.I had to complete 30 hours of community service, a Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) seminar, outpatient rehabilitation classes, 10 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and a defensive driving class. I still owe my parents about $1,500 for the costs that accompanied one bad decision, but my legal punishments were
nothing compared to the effects my behavior had on my family and college life.
My dad is an alcoholic. After several rounds of alcohol and drug rehabilitation, he has been sober for 22 years.Today he's a successful real estate agent and active in our community with A.A. and the detox center. When he came to pick me up that night, everyone knew who he was, everyone knew I was his daughter, and I was ashamed. In the front seat of my dad's car, I cried for the first time that night. My mom cried in the back seat. My parents were happy that I was not in a ditch, but my mom said she had seen this ticket coming.
The next morning in the family room, I stared at my feet, unable to look my younger brother or sister in the eye. My stomach ached and my head pounded as I told them what I had done. We cried softly together and my brother, who was then 12, asked me to stop drinking because he was afraid that I would die if I didn't. I was remorseful, disgusted, hung-over and pissed off that my mom would have to drive me to work later.
My DUI will be on my record until I'm 73, and it took me months to accept what I did. At first I felt guilty going to A.A.meetings with my dad because he is so respected in the community. I felt like people would label me as an alcoholic because I was the 18-year-old
daughter of an alcoholic and was already in trouble with the law. As we continued going to meetings together, it became a way for me to spend time with my dad. He would meet me there in his suit and tie with burgers for a lunch break. Holding hands and sipping coffee, we would listen. I heard stories of addictions and temptations, crazy nights and the devil, triumph and survival. Sometimes he would talk. He introduced me to his friends who hadn't seen me since I was a baby. Everyone knew why I was there, and they welcomed me. I came to understand that this group was made up of the most accepting people I would ever meet. After a while, I couldn't have been more proud to be Craig Loeck's daughter, and I was no longer ashamed of my experience.
Recelving — and deserving
— a DUI taught me about myself
and my family. My parents
supported me through the
whole process from the court
date to dealing with regret. They
constantly reminded me of two sayings from A.A.: "one day at a time," and "grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference."
After my family had begun to accept my mistake,my mom hung my ticket on the refrigerator as a joke.We noticed a couple months later that I had signed my last name wrong. That night,I had left the "e" out of Loeck.
Since that night, I haven't played the game power hour, and I haven't been in another police car. I still drink socially, but I know my limits. During my probation, I tied a MADD red ribbon to the antenna of my car. Though weathered and torn, it's still there. Every time I walk up to my car, it reminds me of that night and of the unconditional support I have from my family — and not to drink and drive.
Each year, 1,700 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die from alcohol-related accidents, according to www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov.
THE NUMBERS
- Each year in Lawrence, someone is killed in a drunk driving accident; more often than that, someone is injured, says Dan Ward, sergeant of the Lawrence Police Department.
- As of Oct. 26, 481 DUIs have been issued this year, according to the Lawrence Municipal Court."These are very serious things that are life altering and life ending situations,"Ward says.

Housing controversy surrounds sorority
Members face accusations of keeping information from potential members
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
Initiation is two days away for new members of Alpha Gamma Delta, but the sorority is facing allegations of members withholding information and uncertainty over where sorority members will live next school year.
A KU sophomore with knowledge of the sorority, who asked that her name not be used, said members of AGD's executive council to upperclass members Monday not to reveal to freshmen that it was "highly probable" the sorority would not be living in the Sigma Nu
house, 1501 Sigma Nu Place, where it currently resides, next school year. That information was only to be distributed to freshmen after initiation, the sophomore said.
Debbie Pitts, chapter advisor of Alpha Gamma Delta, denied that the executive council made such a suggestion.
"I've asked the members of the council point blank, and they said no," she said. "And I believe them."
In the greek community, it is not uncommon for certain information to be kept from new members until after they are initiated.
Alison Woodward, Leawood
freshman and an AGD pledge, said she knew of an order not to say anything to freshmen after hearing it "from an upperclassman in passing."
According to an AGD junior, who did not wish to be named because AGD rules prohibit members from talking to the media and asked that this story not be printed out of a fear of "hurt feelings," said the freshmen were alerted Tuesday night — instead of after initiation
The KU sophomore also said that
Kelly Reynolds, president of Alpha Gamma Delta, told upperclassmen not to mention anything about the construction of the sorority's new house unless asked specifically by a prospective member. Reynolds acknowledges she told members, if asked, to say that the sorority was waiting on bank loans and construction was to begin immediately once the loans were secured.
THE CURRAN HIGH SCHOOL
In July 2001 the sorority purchased land west of the current Sigma Nu house for a new building, but is still waiting to break ground.
SEE RECRUITMENT ON PAGE 6A
Members of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority currently reside in the Sigma Nu house, 1501 Sigma Nu Place, after Sigma Nu lost its charter last year. However, AGD could have to vacate the house when its lease ends in July if the fraternity reposses the house.

He said everything else was left out when the state Supreme Court mandated money for K-12. He disagreed with the state Supreme Court's involvement in school budgets and didn't want them to have control of it.

BOARD OF REGENTS
State officials tour crumbling classrooms
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Malott Hall, Wescoe Hall, Lindley Hall and the Military Science Building were some of the stops the Kansas Board of Regents and several Kansas legislators made while touring the University of Kansas on Thursday to discuss deferred maintenance funding.
The Board of Regents invited about 20 state legislators and candidates to tour the campus.
Jim Modig, director of design and construction management at the University, said the University estimated that there was more than $237 million in deferred maintenance backlog on KU campuses in Lawrence and Kansas City, Kan., from payments deferred by the state because of lack of funding.
The University estimated it needed $74 million each year to prevent further backlog.
The total maintenance backlog
During a presentation before the tour, Board of Regents President Reggie Robinson said the decrease in state university funding increased the burden of hard-working students and their families through increased tuition costs.
Modig said there weren't any issues that were immediately life-threatening on campus, but problems that could turn into life-threatening issues needed to be addressed.
for the state is estimated to be $584 million.
The Kansas Board of Regents governs the six state universities. These maintenance tours are being held at each state university.
Modig said that more than 11 percent of the 16,000 feet of tunnel that runs beneath the campus needed to be repaired or replaced. He said this would cost about $8.8 million.
Modig said Learned Hall and several other roofs on campus also needed to be replaced or repaired. The original proposal for roof replacement included funding for
"We've heard about it and heard about it, but seeing it and getting a visual really puts it in perspective," said Rep. Ray Merrick (R-Stilwell), Kansas House Speaker Pro Tem. "The longer we delay it, the worse it'll get."
Merrick said he thought the tour would make a difference in state funding.
seven to eight roof replacements each year. Instead, the University received funding for two to three roof replacements per year because of a budget shortfall.
Modig said that if the legislature approved the Regents' funding package for University maintenance next year, it would probably be Jan. 1, 2008, before work was started.

Kansas journalist, alumnus dies at 86
Former chairman, president of communications company struggled with cancer
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Renowned Kansas journalist, KU graduate and major donor to the School of Journalism, Stanley H. Stauffer, died Thursday at a hospice house in Topeka. He was 86 years old.
Stauffer, former general manager of The Topeka Capital-Journal and former chairman and president of Stauffer Communications Inc., had been battling cancer but had remained active on the editorial board of The Capital-Journal despite his illness.
"Even in these last weeks when Stan was in poor physical health, he made every effort that he could make it to his office here at The Capital-Journal and the editorial board meetings," said Mark Nusbaum, Capital-Journal publisher. "The journey from the parking lot to the front door of the building was long and tedious, but Stan fought the good battle to the very end."
Stauffer, a 1942 graduate and KU
alumnus of the School of Journalism, began a career in journalism after serving as a flight instructor and photo reconnaissance pilot in the Army Air Force.
"He was very forward-looking, especially for someone of his generation." Brill said.
In 1946, Stauffer began working as a journalist at the Topeka State Journal. He went on to work for several other news outlets, including the Santa Maria (Calif.) Times, The Denver Post and the Denver bureau of the Associated Press. He returned to Topeka in 1955 as an executive with Stauffer Communications.
The Stauffer family has a long history of financial support to the University's journalism program. StauFFER-Flint Hall is named in part for Oscar Stauffer, Stan's father, who donated $1 million for a complete renovation of the building. In 2002, Stan Stauffer and his wife, Madeline, provided financial support to create the Stan and Madeline Stauffer Multimedia Newsroom in the Dole Human Development Center.
Musser was at work on another model plane, a P-39, that Stauffer also flew. He had planned to give Stauffer the model, but did not complete it before his death.
Rick Musser, professor of journalism, described Stauffer as a gentleman with an upbeat edge who was an important part of the school's history. He remembered meeting with Staufer at the dedication of the multimedia newsroom. Musser, who builds model airplanes as a hobby, had a model P-38 in his office, the same type of plane Stauffer had flown in World War II. Musser gave Stauffer the model and at another meeting, Stauffer presented Musser with a copy of the certificate that Stauffer received after completing training on the plane. Musser still has the certificate in his office.
Ann Brill, dean of journalism described Stauffer as a person fascinated by journalism with a good sense of humor. She said he was a fixture in
the school for many years, serving as a trustee of the William Allen White Foundation Board for many years.
Stauffer is survived by his wife and five children from previous marriages — Peter W. Stauffer, of Topeka; Clay W. Stauffer, of Holland, Mich.; Charles S. Stauffer, of Solvang, Calif.; Betsy Leonard, of Vancouver, Wash.; and Grant S. Stauffer, of Columbia, Mo. He also leaves a brother, John H. Stauffer, of Topeka, and 11 grandchildren.
A funeral service will be at 10 a.m. on Nov. 9 at Topeka's Grace Episcopal Cathedral. Private family interment will be at Mount Hope Cemetery.

Museum to alter formal image
Students try to bring campus interest back to KU art institution
BY BEN SMITH
Rachel Hineman is one of many students working to get more students interested in the Spencer Museum of Art.
"It's a great resource and a great place to go," Hineman, Dallas senior, said. "A lot of people don't seem to like the idea of going to a museum, but they don't realize just how much Spencer has to offer."
Hineman works for the art museum's Student Advisory Board. The board is responsible for events such as a free party and bus trip to the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Mo., today.
Kristina Mitchell, the museum's education director who oversees the Student Advisory Board, said one of the group's goals was to take away the perception of the institution as strictly formal, and to make students recognize the entertainment value of
the museum.
"We don't just want to be that building next to the football stadium." Mitchell said.
What started in 1917 as a collection of 7,500 works donated by Sallie Casey Thayer, a Kansas City art collector, has grown into a collection of approximately 25,000 works of art in differing mediums with a curatorial
staff that determines which exhibitions the museum will bring to campus each year.
Bill Woodard, director of communications for the museum, said that about 125,000 people visit the museum annually.
staff thinks will pique interest among students and the general public.
"We have a student advisory board to give student voice to what we're doing here," Woodard said. "Making sure we are meeting the wants and needs of our students."
Current exhibitions at the museum include "Art into Art," a project that links art to the humanities.
"We don't just want to be that building next to the football stadium."
"I like to say that it is a great place for a cheap date." Woodard said.
KRISTINA MITCHELL Education director at the Spencer Museum of Art
The art museum has a state-funded operating budget of roughly $1.2 million this fiscal year and depends on endowments and private donations to bring exhibits to campus that the
mathematics and sciences, and "Views of Vietnam," which shows photographs and propaganda from the Vietnam conflict from the point of view of the Vietcong.

Art museums join forces

Students get opportunity to view multiple exhibits in one night
Art lovers will have the opportunity to experience two different exhibits for free this Friday, one at the Spencer Museum of Art and the other at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. Mo.
The Student Advisory Board of the museum and Kemper Museum will sponsor "Late Night University: College Night at the Kemper, East Meets West."
The board will hold a pre-party from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the museum. The event will feature works by artists Roger Shimomura and Keith Haring. DJ Jason Garden will provide music for the event.
"People can come in and they can see things in our collection that will prepare them visually," Bill Woodard, director of communications for the museum, said.
After the party, attendees can board a bus to attend the exhibit at Kemper Museum. The bus will return to Lawrence around midnight.
On display at Kemper Museum will be 'Zephyr, an exhibit by Japanese-American artist Gajin Fujita. This is Fuita's first solo museum exhibition.
The event at Kemper Museum will also feature short films by students from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, music by DJ Spike and henna tattooing.
Kristy Peterson, curator of education for Kemper Museum, said the museum was always looking for ways to engage new audiences and thought a partnership with the Spencer Museum of Art was a good way to reach out to students. She said the museum sponsored a college night at the museum about once a semester.
The event is free and open to all students.
Rachel Hineman, Dallas senior and member of the Student Advisory Board, said the purpose of the board was to get students interested in the museum.
Hineman said this was the first event with Kemper Museum and
she thought it was a good way for people who love art to meet and see the museum.
"I think there is something for everybody and you don't just have to be an art student to have a good time." Hineman said,
Woodard said he wanted exhibits like this to de-mystify the museum and help people realize it was an approachable place. He said everything at the museum was free, but a small donation was suggested.
"Once people come and have a good experience, it spreads," Woodard said. "It has this kind of viral quality."
The Student Advisory Board will be sponsoring another event Nov. 30 titled "Made in China." The exhibition will feature photographs taken by students on a study-abroad trip to China.

ORGANIZATIONS
KU Hillel hopes to attract record number to Shabbat
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
KU Hillel will attempt to host the biggest Shabbat in the state of Kansas tonight. Shabbat is the weekly day of rest for Judaism that traditionally begins Friday night and lasts until Saturday evening. The organization sponsors a Shabbat celebration annually, but wants this one to be the biggest.
Hundreds of students, faculty and families are invited to partake in the traditional Jewish service and dinner. The event begins at 6 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Matt Lehrman. Hillel Jewish student life coordinator and program director, said the event started five years ago and was called "Shabbat 100" to emphasize a goal of getting 100 students to attend. Then it became Shabbat 350. This year it is Rock Chalk Shabbat to emphasize the experience aspect. Though the nominal focus will move away from numbers this year, Lehrman said they were still trying to make it one of the biggest Jewish celebrations in the state.
The program allows Jewish and non-Jewish participants to experience a traditional Shabbat service
and immerse themselves in the leish文化 for one night.
Liz Cohen, Helen president and Leawood junior, said about 400 people attended the Shabbat last year and that she was looking forward to even more attending this year.
"Jewish students are coming together to celebrate Shabbat and KU students can see what Hillel is all about and learn a little about the Jewish religion and culture. It benefits everyone," Cohen said
The community will celebrate tonight with a service that combines both reformed and conservative traditions of Judaism. Hillel students
wnr read the service. A dinner will follow at 7 p.m. with a large Kosher buffet, including challah. Challah is bread, often braided, that is a traditional part of the Shabbat meal. For entertainment, there will be a Jewish capella singing group and a raffle for basketballs signed by the entire lajyawk team.
Barak Krengel, former Hillel vice president for religious life and Dallas sophomore, has been involved with Hillel since he was a freshman. He said he looked forward to spending the night with friends to celebrate his faith and culture.
"For students who normally don't
get a chance to celebrate Shabbat,
this is kind of a chance to get back to
their roots." Krengel said.
Lehrman said Rock Chalk Shabbat was the biggest event of the year for Hillel. Lehrman said he hoped the event would help to increase the visibility of Hillel on campus with Jewish and non-Jewish students.
Rock Chalk Shabbat is free.

Flu vaccines popular despite scrutiny
BY KIM LYNCH
HEALTH
A recent study published in the British Medical Journal questions the evidence upon which flu shot recommendations are based.
Tom Jefferson, coordinator of Cochrane Vaccines Field in Rome, published "Influenza vaccination: policy versus evidence" in the October edition of the journal. Jefferson found that the changing nature of the various viruses that cause flu-like symptoms could render a vaccine ineffective. He said the vaccine recommendations were based on data from just one or two seasons, which don't represent the scope of the virus accurately.
Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were reasonable. The CDC's recommendations include the elderly, young children and anyone who wants to decrease the risk of flu.
Department, said the department would continue to follow the CDC recommendations.
In Lawrence, health officials are not concerned by jefferson's findings. Charlotte Marthaler, director of policy and planning for the Lawrence-Douglas County Health
"CDC is the gold standard of information that we use in public health," she said.
She said the "flu vaccine is the best way to prevent getting the flu."
The general public seems to agree.
Marthaler said 1,800 doses had already been administered to the public this year. Seven community clinics had to be canceled when a new shipment didn't arrive.
From previous flu shots she's had, she thinks the shots are effective and that if she did get sick, it wasn't as severe.
Gina Mengoni, Overland Park freshman, got her flu shot Tuesday in Strong Hall. She said that being sick "all the time" made her decide to get the shot.
"We have gone through our supply faster this year than in previous years," Denning said.
Jessie Habluetzel, Olathe freshman, also got a flu shot on Tuesday. She said she had got the shots since she was a child, and hadn't been sick in a long time.
People who should get vaccinated each year are:
1. People at high risk for complications from the flu, including:
Children aged 6 months to 5 years
pregnant women
People 50 years of age and older
People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions
People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
from flu, including:
Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu (see above)
Household contacts and out-of-home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated)
2. People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications
Health care workers
3. Anyone who wants to decrease the risk of influenza.
Marthaler said other ways to prevent the flu are to wash hands, cover sneezes and coughs and to stay at home if ill.
"I do recommend it, and I do personally take the vaccine myself," Denning said.
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

As of Tuesday night, clinics at Watkins for the flu shot have been suspended until another shipment

EMPLOYMENT
Graduates' salaries equal national average
All that tuition money just might be worth it.
The Census Bureau released a report on Oct. 25 that showed the average yearly salary of a person with a bachelor's degree was about $23,000 more than that of a high school graduate.
"When you go to college, it's not only for a degree," David Gaston, director of the University Career Center, said. "It's learning to work with other people and all those soft skills you can't really get anywhere else."
For KU graduates, no figure for the average overall salary is available. Mike Krings, University Relations
spokesman, said the reason was that all the different programs and schools at the University made it difficult to compile an overall average.
Information from the individual schools, however, shows KU graduates earn salaries that meet or slightly exceed the national average of $51,554 for people with a bachelor's degree.
"I would say it's definitely competitive," Gaston said.
Using first-year data, the School of Business performs similarly well. Justin Lueger, communications specialist for the school, said average starting salaries ranged from $36,100 for marketing majors to $47,375 for information systems majors.
"Fifty some-odd thousand over the course of a career is probably a reasonable number," Ginsberg said.
According to the Web site of the School of Engineering career center, graduates of the school were offered average first-year salaries ranging from $45,153 for civil engineering to $58,070 for chemical engineering. Because the numbers were limited to first-year salaries, they could be
extrapolated to exceed the national average as those graduates became longer-tenured at their jobs.
The School of Fine Arts, School of Social Welfare and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences did not have average salaries for their graduates available.
Patty Noland, director of the career center for the School of Journalism, said graduates of the school earned average first-year salaries comparable to the national average for journalism graduates of $27,800.

The School of Education is unable to keep data on bachelor's degrees because its five-year program gets a

Shelter aims for $20,000 at fundraiser
BY KIM LYNCH
The sixth annual Chocolate and Tea at Three event will take place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive. The shelter's goal is to raise at least $20,000.
Two tickets to a KU men's basketball game against Emporia State will be among the items auctioned at the Lawrence Community Shelter's weekend fundraiser.
Anne Bracker, Lawrence Community Shelter board member, said around 300 people attended the event last year. She expects the turnout to be about the same this year. The money raised goes toward staffing and shelter expenses.
Loring Henderson, executive director of the shelter, said it was one of the two major fundraisers the shelter did each year. The other fundraiser, Dinner and Dancing at Dusk, takes place in the spring.
The event is "extremely important" because it raised awareness for the shelter, the programs and the problems of the homeless, Henderson said.
Donald Huggins, volunteer coordinator and president of the board of directors for the shelter; said the majority of volunteers were students.
"KU students ought to be very proud." Huggins said. "As a group, they are very giving."
Tickets for the event are $25 and can be purchased at the door or through the Lawrence Community Shelter.

PAUL DAVIS A STRONG VOICE FOR KU AND HIGHER EDUCATION
- received a 98% rating for his support of Kansas universities by Citizens for Higher Education
- In 1999, The Kansas Legislature enacted an emergency budget Act. In exchange for allowing community concerns into the Reagan's system KU and other state universities were prohibited increased funding to bring faculty salaries up to peer levels. Unfortunately, the Legislature hasn't lived up to its promise. State Representative Paul Davis has been working hard in Topeka to change this. Paul worked with Governor Kathleen Sebelius and legislative leaders to obtain millions of dollars in new funding for Kansas universities. Let's send Paul back to Topeka on November 7th to keep fighting for us!
- co-authored a plan that would increase funding for KU and other universities so that the promises of the 1999 Higher Education Reorganization Act are met
- advocated for an overdue pay increase for KU faculty and staff
- fought efforts to restrict the academic freedom of KU faculty members
- supports funding higher education properly so that there will be no further tuition increases for KU students
- fought efforts to restrict the academic freedom of KU faculty members

Congress to blame for apathy
In the past few years, a great deal of criticism has been leveled at the Bush administration for its perceived missteps in a number of areas. Some of this criticism is deserved, but has unfortunately distracted from what may be a larger problem:
The institution of Congress has utterly abdicated its responsibility, and has become little more than a sad caricature of its formerly important self.
At its most basic level, Congress is charged with passing laws. As the executive branch has elevated and solidified its importance in the past few decades, Congress has become marginalized, but still retains its important duties of constructing budgets and maintaining government oversight.
These are incredibly important tasks, but the 109th Congress was a disappointment on every level. Just look at Congress today: rife with corruption, fractured by party disputes and power struggles and sinfully ignorant of important issues while sadly attentive to meaningless events.
The 109th Congress met for the fewest days in Congressional history. It spent weeks staging theatrical debates about Terry Schiavo and gay marriage, but paid no mind to the monstrous national debt, our growing trade imbalance or our mounting milli-
tary and diplomatic problems.
Members of Congress exist to serve themselves and their backers, secretly inserting earmarks to budget bills that direct federal money to their own projects. They blatantly cater to those who provide the most money at the obvious expense of the nation's welfare.
The most shocking abuse of power came from the Speaker of the House himself. In 2005, Dennis Hastert allocated $200 million for highway development near land he owns, then sold his share for a $2 million profit.
If this isn't enough to illustrate the moral vacuum in government leadership, then what is? Even the "corruption reform bill", passed after the public outcry to spending scandals, was laughable: It is actually set to expire after this legislative session.
Can you blame us for not caring who wins and loses when we are really just electing the latest members of a corrupt spending machine that refuses to take its responsibility seriously? The apathy of young voters is disturbing to all of us, but Congress is doing its work to perpetuate it.
If our government leaders want us to take an active interest in what they're doing, they should start acting like leaders.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Kansan ignores Delta Force
As the president of Delta Force, the largest progressive student organization at the University of Kansas, I am concerned by the lack of Kansan coverage of recent Delta Force events.
An Oct. 24 article, "Seeking out student voters," points out that the College Republicans and Young Democrats have been on Wescoe since the beginning of the semester registering voters. But the only student organization out there four days a week for the past two months was Delta Force. Our non-partisan campaign registered more than 500 new student voters, over five times more than the Young Democrats and College Republicans combined.
Furthermore, on Oct. 23, Delta Force put together a pumpkin patch on the Strong Hall lawn to raise money for the Lawrence Humane Society and the Nathan Bue Jr. Foundation. Through this event we were able to collect more than $100 for these charities, as
Delta Force strives to be a progressive influence on campus and within the Lawrence community. The members of Delta Force are amazing and dedicated people who put hard work into all of our efforts. It is my hope that the Kansan will give them the credit they are due in the future.
well as promote awareness for two under-represented causes on campus. However, after informing the Kansan of this event several times, we were disappointed to find that instead of coverage of our on campus event, we found a picture in the Kansan of a kindergarten's pumpkin patch in Texas.

Don't insult the map-challenged
As a 2006 KU graduate, believe me that I know all too well about the problems that Dan Hoyt complains about with some students' ignorance (Wednesday, "If you're here, you should know Kansas"). However, I do not think that attending the University of Kansas means that you should know anything about the geography of the state. I do not really know how Hoyt can justify why someone needs to know a city that is hundreds of miles away simply because they live within the same borders.

bop DYLAN
What do you get when two of America's most beloved recording artists join forces?
GRS'06
Remember Hanson? I have a close personal connection to Hanson. My friend's band played a concert last year in which it opened for the band that once won a contest to open for the band that was touring as the opening band for Hanson.
I won't go as far as to say that Hanson's music defined our generation, but when the insanely catchy single "MMMBop" hit the pop airwaves in the mid '90s, it had everyone asking. "Who are these girls?"
Being a young connoisseur of Casey Kasem's Top 40, I thought this band was much better than say, Robyn, or the Spice Girls, or any other girl group out there. They had nothing on Mariah Carey, but then, who does?
Remember how surprised you were when Hanson turned out to be three brothers? No man (or boy) had dared sing that high since Prince. But the Hanson boys, in all of their cuteness, caught the wave
of popularity and surfed through the hearts of fifth-grade girls everywhere.
You may not hear much about Hanson these days, but the group still exists. In fact, Hanson played a concert in Lawrence a year or two ago. My guess is that more than a few college girls bought tickets, went to the show, and were shocked to find that the boys they had ogled in Seventeen magazine were now full grown men.
Could they still hit the high notes on "MMMBop?" I doubt it. Only if Hanson were untouched by time, locked in their prepubescent glory, would they be as good today as they once were.
Now consider another aging music legend: Bob Dylan. Sure, his recent album, "Modern Times," may have been met with critical accolades, and it actually hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts. But anyone who has seen Dylan live in the last half-decade knows one thing: His
voice ain't what it used to be. What used to be a nasally, yet melodic, whine has been replaced by a gravelly, tuneless growl. Luckily, the old man's lyrical sense is still sharp, because without the help of a recording studio, he can't carry a tune in a bucket.
So here is my proposal: In the great tradition of "supergroups" such as the Traveling Wilburys (Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne) and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Bob Dylan and the brothers Hanson should join forces.
By combining Hanson's teen idol looks and pop hooks with Dylan's literary genius, they will regain their former greatness and beat the old devil Time. I suggest the following name for the band: MMMBop Dylan.

COMMENTARY
'Politics' is whatever makes your blood flow
BY LIZ STUEWE
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
I am not sure who you are.
If you can't get excited about politics, it is time to redefine the word.
Thanks to the misfortunes of the past and missteps of the present, "politics" has come to carry a generally negative connotation. But this doesn't have to be the case. Politics does not have to be a person in an ugly suit. Politics does not have to be lies, corruption and money.
The first reason is so that you, your loved ones and all Americans can lead "the good life." Who controls the government and how they control the government has a direct impact on the quality of life for Americans.
We are a new generation of Americans and it is time we defined politics for ourselves. But how? And why should we even bother?
And that leads us to the "why".
Why should you care how our government runs and who runs it?
Why should you care about politics?
You should care for two reasons.
Find an artist, an ambassador, a professor, a book, a song, a politician, a rabbi, a poem — anything that gets you interested in the world around you. And that is politics.
Secondly, it is your responsibility as a citizen to keep our government honest and working so it can protect all Americans. If our government is broken, we must fix it.
In order to truly care about politics, we must make politics about our lives, our rights and our needs.
Michael Franti and his band embody what I think politics should be: a good time with a social conscience and a great beat.
You can do this by finding a new definition for the word politics: a personal definition, a public definition, a musical definition, a written definition, a simple definition
The "how" is easy. Be creative. Follow your interests. Do what feels right. The lively music scene in Lawrence has helped me define politics for myself. On Oct. 24 the reggae-influenced, hip-hop-minded, acoustic-guitar-playing, barefoot Michael Franti and his band Spearhead played to an enthusiastic crowd at Liberty Hall on Massachusetts Street.
TALK TO US
— whatever it takes to realize that you have a place in this world and a political responsibility to our country. It is time to get excited.
Stuewe is a Lawrence junior in American studies and political science.
Music can be a great way to make politics more interesting and important. And there is a lot of it out there, from the classic Bob Dylan to the widely popular Bono. But if Bono is just a little too turtleneck and vanilla latte for you, I suggest you check out Michael Franti. Franti supports and encourages my hippie ideals — peace, love and all that jazz — but if those issues don't get you worked up, find something that does.

REGENTS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Kathy Damron, University lobbyist, said most people thought about the classroom experience when they thought of universities but not the research areas.
"There are hundreds of millions of dollars in research activity on all of the college campuses and one bad flood or a leaky pipe can wash away tens of millions of dollars of research," Damron said. "To not take care of the infrastructure is putting a lot of that investment at risk."
Regents facilities audit, the average University building is 45 years old
Kansas State has a maintenance backlog of $209.4 million, the highest in the state. The University (excluding the Medical Center) is second in the state with $168.5 million in deferred maintenance.

RECRUITMENT (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"The intent of the comment was not to be negative," Reynolds said. "The focus of our recruitment was the relationships with the women and not the chapter facility."
Reynolds said that in the past, the new house was used as a selling point, but she said in the three years she's been a part of AGD, that hasn't been the case.
"We've never recruited because of the new house!" Reynolds said.
Alix Fried, a 2006 alumna who joined Sigma Delta Tau, said she remembered during formal recruitment in 2002 how much Alpha Gamma Delta played up the idea of living in a new house.
"It was definitely a big thing they were pushing," she said.
Fried said that the sorority had a huge poster and blueprints of what the new house was going to look like.
"They told us wed be moving in shortly if we joined," Fried said.
She said at the time active members of AGD said the move-in to a new house could be as soon as the next school year.
Fried said that because of the importance of a house to a fraternity or sorority, the idea of moving in to something new was really special.
Fried eventually chose not to join the AGD sorority, because of friends joining other chapters and the fact she felt more comfortable elsewhere, but said she felt bad for the women of the sorority without a house.
Several other women who went through sorority recruitment between 2002 and 2004, some who pledged to a sorority and others who
did not, confirmed that building a new house was always a significant component of recruitment.
As for the new house, it has been an emotional load for the sorority. Financial concerns and, more recently, the drafting of plans, have pushed back the opening of a new house. "We've hired a professional fundraiser, and if everything happens the way it could, the hope is that we could have a house to move in to by August of 2008." Pitts said.
Pitts added that if the sorority had used a professional fundraiser five years ago, it might be in a different situation now. In either case, Pitts said the group was moving in a positive direction.
Concerning where the group will live next school year, Pitts holds out hope that a deal can be reworked with Sigma Nu to extend its lease. However, Tom Rost, a former Sigma Nu member and a longtime member of the local Sigma Nu board, said that the fraternity's plan was to take possession of its house when the lease with Alpha Gamma Delta expired in July. AGD leased the Sigma Nu house for this year after the fraternity lost its charter.
No date has been set for when the two groups will discuss a possible renewal. If a deal can't be reached, the sorority will look at other housing options.

Ranzau, an orthopedic physician assistant, said he wanted to know why tuition rates were increasing.
Economy
"We need to keep an open mind to see what other solutions might be out there instead of throwing money at it," he said.
GOVERNOR (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Kramer, a mechanic for Spirit AeroSystems, would like a free market system that he said would guarantee students an affordable education.
"I ask everyone at KU to take
a good look at everyone in Indonesia to look at how their dollar plummeted overnight and how college students were in the streets rioting because they couldn't afford education," he said. "We are reliv-
"Four of the people who flew their planes into our buildings on 9/11 had been pulled over by highway patrol and let go."
Barnett has several tactics to improve the state's economy, the first being the removal of the state Supreme Court's control over the budget. He would also give tax cuts: a 10 percent investment tax credit for businesses and a $500 increase in tax exemptions for every dependent in a family.
ties as you graduate," Barnett said. "If you look at the history, Kansas workers earn less than our neighboring states because of the poor business climate in our state."
ing the Soviet Union again right here in America. What we're after is reduced costs in universities. I don't know how, but they'd better plan to do it."
Prospects for college students looking for a job after graduation are good, Sebelius said, though all her challengers disagree. She said the demand for workers with advanced training and post-secondary degrees was reaching a new high.
JIM BARNETT Republican challenger
"I will continue to support our educational institutions from preK to post-secondary, so that every Kansan is prepared to enter the work force trained and ready," she said.
"Our state has lagged behind in terms of economic growth," he said. "We are lagging behind the rest of the nation. Some people seem to be focused on budget deficits; what we have is a growth deficit."
Barnett's projections about the economy were not so positive.
He said Kansas was leading the nation in terms of government jobs but lagging in private-sector job growth.
Ranzau said that the state had
"We should have a sucking sound of businesses coming here, not leaving, to bring you job opportuni-
a strong economy but that people were overtaxed and the government had too much control.
"There shouldn't be running debt at any level of government," he said. "We need to be
responsible with taxpayers' money."
Ranzau said he supported a taxpayer's bill of rights. He also sees a need for a flat tax or fair tax on the national level so property taxes, franchise fees and income tax could be eliminated.
"I think that empowers the people and decreases the expenses for businesses," he said. "It eliminates loopholes and spreads tax to everyone."
Illegal immigration
Illegal immigration is a hot topic in this race, and the main reason Ranzau decided to run for office.
Sebelius said the control of America's borders was the duty of the federal government. She said the state was forced to deal with the consequences of federal government's inaction. That's why she ordered members of the Kansas National Guard to assist in securing the border, she said.
She wants to crack down on employers who hire illegal immigrants, she said, because "their reckless disregard for the law is creating the situation that led to this crisis."
Barnett and Ranzau also agree that employers should be punished
the children of illegal immigrants. She emphasized it was not a giveaway because the students must have gone to a high school for at least three years. They are also required to take steps to become legal citizens — including signing an affidavit of intent.
Ranzau said he is the only one in the race "talking tough" on immigration.
"Illegal immigration affects your health care, your jobs, your wages, your taxes, your prisons, so we need to do something about it." he said. "Anyone who says it's a problem for the federal government either doesn't understand the problem or simply doesn't want to do anything about it. And that's what the governor does."
He suggested a multifaceted, multilevel approach would involve law enforcement and eliminate the social safety net drawing immigrants to the country. If all the areas work together, he said, the state creates an area conducive to keeping illegal immigrants out.
Unlike Sebellius, Barnett does not support drivers' licenses for illegal immigrants and said the governor's proposed policy was reckless. He also doesn't support in-state tuition for illegal immigrants and said too many Kansas families could not afford their children's education.
"We don't have any business giving them better treatment than American citizens," he said.
He said the state needed to protect the voting system's integrity by providing photo ID to everyone, including low-income families.
He also said the state should work more closely with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency, so that the highway patrol and other local law enforcement agencies could be involved in immigration issues.
"Four of the people who flew their planes into our buildings on 9/11 had been pulled over by highway patrol and let go," he said. "That's a significant issue."

Kansas to take on Washburn Jayhawks struggle to maintain their defensive intensity
Playing a complete game tops the list of KU women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson's goals for Sunday's 2 p. m. exhibition game against the Washburn Lady Blues.
"We've got to work on sustaining two halves," she said. "Most of these players for their high school teams didn't play four quarters; they'd play three quarters and sit out the fourth quarter."
The Jayhawks sped out to a 46-18 lead at the end of the first half Wednesday. In the abysmal second half, the team gave up 37 points to an 80-55 exhibition victory over Fort Hays State.
Senior guard Shaquina Mosley diagnosed the problem in the Jayhawk's second-half performance.
"We didn't carry our defensive intensity into the second half," Mosley said. "We aren't going to get off to such a big lead in every game, so we need to be ready to work hard
every possession, every play."
The Lady Blues should require the Jayhawks to show their hard work on every possession Sunday. Washburn is returning four of five starters. Among that group is a pair of senior forwards, Megan Sullivan and Brooke Ubelaker, two of the team's three leading scorers last season.
Sullivan and Ubelaker's size and scoring ability should test a Jayhawk frontcourt that struggled to grab defensive rebounds in the second half of Wednesday's game.
The Jayhawks' starting lineup on Sunday will be a game-time decision like Wednesday's exhibition game, but don't expect too much alteration.
"I wouldn't make drastic changes before Sunday," Henrickson said.
Thanks in part to the excellent recruiting class of seven freshmen, the Jayhawks are a deep basketball team. On Sunday, 10 players were in the game for at least 10 minutes.
Junior forward Jamie Boyd started the game against Fort Hays State. After getting into foul trouble with only one rebound and no points, however, forwards Marija Zinic, Danielle McCray, and Porscha Weddington wound up with more playing time than Boyd.
Danielle McCray and guard Sade Morris will probably see the most minutes from the Jayhawks large freshman class. McCray proved to be one of the best shooters on the team, with 13 points that included a beautiful three-point shot from well behind the line. Sade Morris had 14 points in Wednesday's contest and wants her team to improve on Sunday.
"I hope we can play a whole game, not just a 20-minute half" she said.

Kansas has'nothing to lose'
'Hawks (3-11) to face tough match against Iowa State (8-5)
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team will be meeting parallels when they try to upset Iowa State on Saturday in Ames, Iowa. Kansas has lost its last four games; Iowa has won the last four. At the Ames game last season, the Cyclones won, putting the Jayhawks at eighth and bringing themselves to seventh. Neither are ranked in the Top 25 Coaches Poll.
First serve is set for 6:30 p.m. at Hilton Coliseum.
7, 8-5) earlier this season at home.
The Jayhawks (10-13, 3-11 Big
12) were swiped by the Cyclones (16-
Kansas has yet to win a conference road game this season. Iowa State has won its last four contests, including an upset victory at No. 21 Missouri on Wednesday.
Kansas was swept by No. 8 Texas on Wednesday. The Longhorns outblocked the Jayhawks 9 to 2.
Iowa State has the top-ranked blocker in the Big 12 with Erin Boeve, junior middle blocker, averaging 1.68 per game.
It doesn't seem likely KU will be in the mix for an NCAA tournament bid this year, but Martincich will most likely reach 1,000 assists this season on Saturday. She needs just six assists to reach the milestone.
"She works with as much passion as anybody." Kansas coach Ray
Bechard said. "She is always trying to improve and she has the willingness to improve more than anybody."
With postseason aspirations dwindling, Bechard challenged his team after the Texas loss.
"I told them to identify and isolate some areas where they could improve and help the team," he said.
Kansas will be home next as they face Colorado (13-8, 9-5) on Nov. 8. Colorado won a five-game match earlier this season in Boulder, Colo.

REESING (CONTINUED FROM 11A)
Reeing is only 5-foot-11, or as he describes himself "5-foot-10 and some change."
In 2005, Reesing was the Central Texas Player of the Year. In his senior season alone, he threw for 3,340 yards, completing more than 72 percent of his passes and 41 touchdowns and just five interceptions. As if that wasn't enough, Reesing also rushed for 750 yards and eight touchdowns. The stats were certainly impressive, but there was one drawback.
And that's why major programs were reluctant to offer Reesing a scholarship.
Among the few schools that did offer Reesing a chance were Kansas State and Kansas. After a visit in Manhattan with former Wildcats coach Bill Snyder in April 2004, Reesing made the short trip here to Lawrence.
"I was blown away," Reesing said. So was Mangino. He offered Reesing a scholarship on the spot. Just like that, the kid who was shunned by larger schools was going
to get his shot.
He graduated from Lake Travis High School in Austin a semester early to be on campus in time for spring practice. Once he got to Lawrence, Reeing used the same smarts that helped him in calculus to learn Kansas' offense. While it was more complicated than the offense he ran at Lake Travis, Reeing picked it up quickly.
There was Reesing on the field barking out plays at the line of scrimmage like a wily old veteran. The thing that made Reesing stand out against Colorado, though, was his ability to scramble out of the pocket and make plays out of nothing.
That was obvious on Saturday.
"Everybody said you can't do the same things you did in high school," Reeing said. "You can't get away with as much because the guys are a lot more athletic and fast. But pulling off that 60-yard run kind of shocked me. I never thought I was going to outrun anybody."
He did Saturday, and led the
team in rushing with 90 yards on the ground, including that 63-yard scamper. But despite his performance against Colorado, Reesing realizes that his time in the spotlight might be limited. When Meier gets healthy, its presumed that he'll regain his starting spot, though Mangino has refused to discuss his quarterback situation. For right now, Reesing's enjoying himself.
"He has a long way to go and he knows it," Mangino said. "But he's just a happy guy. If you're around him, he'll make you happy."
Kansan senior sportswriter Ryan Schneider can be contacted at rschnieler@kansan.com.
It's easy to see why.

Iowa State short on starters Jayhawks to face hobbling Cyclones in Ames on Saturday
Blythe is second on the team with 30 catches and first on the team with 436 receiving yards. He's the only Cyclone receiver who has caught multiple touchdowns, with seven.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
On defense, Iowa State's pass defense isn't much better than Kansas', allowing only 43 fewer yards per game. Without Jackson, the Cyclones will be even more vulnerable. However, Iowa State could have enough bodies in its front seven to contain Kansas senior running back Jon Cornish.
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Although IowaState hasn't played like the Big 12 North contender it was supposed to be; Kansas coach Mark Mangino is familiar with the hardships teams can go through during a season and understands why the Cyclones have struggled.
Iowa State reached its low point of the season last week when, already riddled with injuries, it lost yet another key player and lost 31-10 to a Kansas State team they would have been heavily favored to defeat a couple months ago.
Iowa State could be the remedy Kansas — and its seven-game road losing streak — is looking for.
"They've had some setbacks in personnel, so those things all need to be taken into consideration," Mangino said.
Despite returning 11 starters on offense from last year's team and all-Big 12 selections on both sides of the ball, this season has been a nightmare for the Cyclones, who are 3-6 and winless in conference play.
"It's not easy, but it's a team game and we all have 85 scholarships available and you just have to be good enough to overcome those," McCarney said. "We were not."
Iowa State coach Dan McCarney could throw a pity party for himself, but he isn't.
The Cyclone offense will now rest on the shoulders of all-conference quarterback Bret Meyer. He's thrown for 2,023 yards with an average of nearly 225 yards per game. And with Hicks out, he is Iowa State's leading rusher with 180 yards and six touchdowns. The problem for Meyer this season is that he's made as many big plays with his arm as he has mistakes, with 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
On offense, the Cyclones will also be without guard Tom Schmeling and running back Stevie Hicks. On defense, all-conference cornerback DeAndre Jackson and linebacker Adam Carper are done for the season with torn ACLs.
Even with so many holes to fill, Iowa State still has enough players left to make Kansas earn its first road victory since 2004.
Starting wide receiver Jon Davis left midway through the Kansas State game with a collapsed lung, and won't play against Kansas on Saturday. Davis only adds to Iowa
R
State's list of banged-up players.
Although Davis won't be in action, Meyer should have his favorite receiving target back. Wide receiver Todd Blythe missed last week's game because of a viral illness, but is expected to be back in the starting lineup on Saturday.

Both Cyclones, Jayhawks considered'due'for victory this weekend; quarterbacks, defense will play crucial roles
Two reporters, one from Iowa State Daily and one from The University Daily Kansan, take sides, predicting who will win this weekend's game and why.
FRIDAY FIVE
FOOTBALL
The Jayhawks are dead last in the conference in both defense and pass defense. Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer has plenty of weapons at receiver, even though they're a little banged up. Meyer can and will exploit the Jayhawks through the air.
1. The Kansas secondary
Five reasons Iowa State will win:
Look. We don't know who's going to be starting at quarterback. Usually it spells disaster when a team goes through a week with musical chairs at the signal-caller position. The most likely candidate to start is the Oompa-Loompa-sized Todd Reesing, who isn't tall enough to ride most of the roller coasters up the road from Lawrence at Worlds of Fun.
2. The Kansas quarterback situation
This team won seven games last year with the exact same offense. The difference this year was breaking in an entirely new defense that also has had to overcome a ton of injuries. Guys have gotten experience and started to gel last week, even though the score didn't show it. Against a poor defense and an offense in chaos, this could be the week ISU breaks out.
3. The Cyclones are due
The team must win out to make a bowl, plus, from the sounds of things, coach Dan McCarney's chair is getting plenty hot. Everybody involved with the program needs a victory. Simply put, Iowa State is desperate and can't settle for anything
Yeah, the Cyclones got shown up by the Jayhawks last year to cost Iowa State a trip to the Big 12 title game. While that saved Iowa State from getting blasted by Texas, it still ticked off everyone. Don't think they've forgotten that.
4. The revenge factor
less than a victory. It will want this game more than Kansas.
5. The Cyclones' backs are against the wall
— Brett Mcintyre, Iowa State Daily
Senior running back Jon Cornish has been the Jayhawks' workhorse on offense this season. He's already passed the 1,000-yard mark for the season and wants to break Kansas' single-season rushing record. As long as Kansas can run the ball and control the clock, Iowa State's offense won't get a shot against the defense.
Five reasons Kansas will win:
2. Iowa State's injuries
Simply put, Iowa State will be without too many key players to expect to win. If the Jayhawks were without Cornish and two wide receivers, they would have no shot. Barring major mistakes by Kansas to keep Iowa State in the game, this is a game Kansas should win.
1. Jon Cornish
mistake of continuing to throw the ball to cornerback Talib's side of the field. The Buffaloes certainly paid for the mistake, with Talib getting two interceptions. If Iowa State makes the same mistake, expect Talib to record a few more picks this weekend.
3. Agib Talib
Last week, Colorado made the
How many games in a row can this队 lose on the road? It's been nearly two seasons since its last victory away from Memorial Stadium. An improving Kansas team against a struggling Iowa State squad looks like a good opportunity to snap that road losing streak.
5. Running quarterbacks
4. The Jayhawks are due
With either Kerry Meier or Todd Reesing under center, Kansas will have an added dimension with a running quarterback. Iowa State has shown an inability to stop the run and pass in conference play and with quartbacks that can do both, Kansas should be able to take advantage of its strength. No starter has been named, but expect either Meier or Reesing to carry the football a lot.
U.S. charges coach with obstruction
Ryan Schneider
NATIONAL
BY DAVID KRAVETS ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Trevor Graham, who has coached some of the world's fastest track stars, was charged Thursday with hindering the government's steroids probe.
Graham, who sparked the now 3-year-old federal investigation, was charged with three counts of making false statements to federal agents in an indictment issued by the grand jury investigating performance-enhancing drugs.
Graham was summoned to appear for arraignment Nov. 16 in U.S. District Court. If convicted of all three counts, he faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison
Graham operates Sprint Capitol USA, a team of about 10 athletes that includes Justin Gatlin, the 100-meter co-world record holder who tested positive for testosterone and other steroids in April.
Graham's Raleigh, N.C.-based attorney Joseph Zesotzarski did not immediately return a telephone call from The Associated Press.
Graham also coached sprinter Marion Jones, who won five medals at the 2000 Sydney Games with him, and her former boyfriend Tim Montgomery, who was suspended from competition for two years despite never testing positive for a banned substance.
however, have tested positive for banned substances. The coach has been under investigation for allegedly lying to investigators looking into doping connected to a San Francisco area laboratory.
Several of Graham's athletes,
Authorities also are examining whether Barry Bonds, the San Francisco Giants slugger, committed perjury when he told the BALCO grand jury in 2003 that he never knowingly used steroids. He told the panel he believed Anderson had supplied him with flaxseed oil and arthritis balm.
In August, the U.S. Olympic Committee banned Graham from its training centers, because many of his athletes have been suspended for doping offenses.
SWIMMING AND DIVING Jayhawks to face Panthers at home after Missouri loss
Kansas will attempt to rebound from a recent loss to Missouri in today's action at 6 p.m. The Jayhawks and Panthers will meet again Saturday at 10 a.m. The event is free.
Clark Campbell, who is in his fifth year as coach, looks to regroup the Kansas swimming and diving team as it stays home this weekend to face Northern Iowa at the Robinson Natatorium for a two-day meet.
The team fell to Missouri last weekend by the score of 187-111.The loss brings the Jayhawks to 2-1 overall and 0-1 in the Big 12 Conference.
-Daniel C. Weixeldorfer
Earlier in the year, the team finished fourth in the Big 12 relays and defeated Nebraska-Omaha during a weekend meet.

Freshmen make strong showing
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAS 99, WASHBURN 69
As expected, the Jayhawk freshmen saw plenty of minutes, had a large hand in the scoring and connected from behind the three-point line.
Arnur stole the show, receiving significant minutes and scoring a game-high 21 points in the forward position Sasha Kaun will play when he returns from injury.
"I think I see myself as a role player," he said. "Coach wants me to get a lot of rebounds."
And that was just Darrell Arthur.
"He's just got a knack for getting the ball in the hoop," coach Bill Self said. Arthur had plenty of occasions to put the ball up, enjoying a height and skill advantage on the Washburn players he faced all night in the 99-69 victory.
The other highly touted freshman, guard Sherron Collins, played for 24 minutes, most of them alongside Arthur.
He said that while he had the opportunity to get the points tonight, he's not going to be forcing shots.
Collins finished with just two points, a layup he converted after grabbing a loose ball and outrunning his defender to the basket.
His night was littered with almosts and could've beens, including a missed layup and several shots that rattled the rim but didn't fall.
Self said that he was impressed by Collins' composure, attributing it to his playing in front of big crowds during high school in Chicago.
The same can't be said of Arthur, who felt nervous all day.
"I still had butterflies all through the game, but the guys worked me through it," he said.
He tried to keep one piece of advice in his mind through the whole game: "Any play that's coming to you, don't forget it," he said.
He was successful at that offensively and defensively, where he recorded two blocks and four rebounds. The stats will not officially count, as it was an exhibition game.
The third freshman also made his Fieldhouse debut count. Guard Brady Morningstar saw limited action, but managed a long three-pointer with four minutes to play.
Two other players also made their Jayhawk debuts Thursday. Sophomore guard Brennan Bechard and junior guard Brad Witherspoon both joined the team this year and played the final 41 seconds of the game. Bechard connected on a three-pointer, his only shot opportunity.
For Arthur, the challenge now is to build stamina so he can play more minutes in Kaun's absense. Self said that Arthur was the only player he saw tiring on the court.
"He's going to have to get himself to a point where he can play 25 minutes at a hard pace," the coach said.
Self added that the same was true of Collins, and that he wouldn't be afraid to ask big things of his freshmen this season.

Jayhawks near century mark in first victory against Ichabods
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas' go-to guy on the bench, Darnell Jackson, found himself in the starting lineup against Washburn University.
Just as he used to give Kansas a spark as a reserve, Jackson energized the Jayhawks from the opening tip-off as Kansas rolled to a 99-6 victory over the ichabods. More importantly, the junior gave Kansas the inside presence it needed without its top two centers.
"I loved how aggressive he was," Self said. "He's a good shooter, he's gotten better offensively, and he rebounded the ball decently tonight. From a production standpoint, I'd say it's his best game."
A month ago Jackson was Self's third option at center, but because of an injury to starting center Sasha Kaun and the suspension of reserve center C.J. Giles, Jackson stood on the large Jayhawk at midcourt to take the tip-off Thursday.
He didn't waste any time proving worthy of the start, winning the tip and leading the Jayhawks in scoring and rebounding in the first half. For the game, he had 18 points and a team-high 10 rebounds.
"It felt good going out there and playing and knocking down shots," Jackson said. "When I first got here, I was timid, I was nervous, and last year I sat out nine games."
Earlier in the week Self and Jackson expressed concerns about how many minutes the post players would have to play without Kaum or Giles. After playing 16 minutes in the first half, Jackson missed most of the second half because of cramps.
Still, sophomore Julian Wright didn't think the frontcourt players got too tired. He said they mainly had to adjust to the sudden increase in repetitions during a game compared to those experienced in practice.
Undersized and overwhelmed, Washburn allowed Kansas' three main frontcourt players — Jackson, Wright, and freshman Darrell Arthur — to combine for 54 points.
Wright and Jackson were busy
"Offensively, they were all pretty good," Self said. "It helps when you make the first shot, too, and we made our first four or five, and that takes the pressure off a little bit."
early, scoring 12 of Kansas' first 15 points. Kansas broke an 8-6 game open by going on a 20-6 run.
Overshadowed by Kansas' performance inside was the perimeter play of sophomore Brandon Rush, junior Russell Robinson and sophomore Mario Chalmers. The trio combined for 26 points. Rush

and Chalmers were deadly from three-point range in the first half, making four of seven attempts from behind the arc.
The absence of Kaun and Giles was most obvious in the rebounding and defensive battle inside. Although Jackson, Wright and Arthur combined for 25 points, the Ichabods' interior players combined for 55 points and 31 rebounds. As a team, Washburn collected 47 rebounds to Kansas' 48.
"I'm real concerned," Self said.
"We didn't defend the post and we
didn't rebound the ball, so we've got a lot of stuff to work on before we play Northern Arizona, but I'm not sure that's all bad, either."
Self announced after the game that junior guard Jeremy Case will be out seven to 10 days with a pulled groin.

Saturday's victory puts freshman in spotlight
Former redshirt quarterback rallies bowl hopes, sparks comeback, eager to do more

college football at a major program.
Yet something about the quarterback from Austin, Texas, drew Kansas coaches to him. Maybe it was the arm. Or maybe it was his infectious smile. But whatever it was, the decision to bring Reesing to Kansas
certainly paid off last week. Although no starter has been named, Reesing is likely to get a chance to prove them right again this weekend against Iowa State.
Reesing has spent more time on the scout team, using his arm to help the defense prepare for teams that run a pass-first offense. It was after the Baylor game that coach

"I know we wouldn't have won without him," senior wide receiver Brian Murph said.
While his performance against Colorado was certainly impressive, it was only one half of one game. Nothing to draw too many conclusions about. Despite that, teammates said he was the reason, the spark behind that comeback victory a week ago.
On the sidelines during the comeback that saw Reesing lead Kansas to three straight touchdown drives, he talked. A lot.
"Don't worry, guys. this is what I do." Reesing told teammates on the sideline. "I win games."
There's no doubt about that.
Reeing certainly knows how to win. Back in Austin at Lake Travis High, Reeing's teams went 19-4 during his junior and senior seasons in the state's second-largest football classification.

KU KICKOFF
ATA GLANCE
Kansas ended its four-game streak, defeating Colorado last weekend. With three games left, the Jayhawks must win two of those three to qualify for a bowl game. Kansas' next two games against Iowa State and Kansas State will be its best chance to get six wins. A loss against either team will force Kansas to defeat Missouri in Columbia. With Iowa State being winless in conference play, this is the Jayhawks best shot to win a road game this season.
5 QUICK FACTS
7 — straight road losses, dating back to last season.
3-23 — Mark Mangino's record in road games.
3 — touchdowns accounted for by quarterback Todd Reesing against Colorado.
0 — touchdowns allowed by the Jayhawk defense against the Buffalooes.
115. 7 — Jon Cornish's average yards per game this season.

Meier
State, there a chance fresh man quarterback Kerry Meier could return to the lineup. With Meier in as the starter, the offense
has been effective, especially running the football. Despite freshman Todd Reesing's performance last week, Meier gives this team the best chance to win. A healthy Meier should mean a second-straight victory.
QUESTION MARK
Who will start at quarterback?
No one knows who exactly will be in the starting lineup at quarterback, but the safe bet is either Kerry Meier or Todd Reesing. Based on experience and, if healthy, Meier gives Kansas the best chance to win its first road game of the season. Although Reesing looked impressive in one-half of play, its still uncertain if he'll be rattled on the road.
POSTSEASON PRESSURE Bowl hopes may ride on Saturday's game
GAME DAY
KANSAS VS. IOWA STATE 1 p.m., Saturday, Jack Trice Stadium, 105.9 FM
Kansas
Offense
Kansas' quarterback carousel took another turn last weekend with the addition of Todd Reasing to the circus. No matter who starts, the Jayhawks must run the football. Senior Jon Cornish is having the best season a Jayhawk has had in a decade. Cornish must touch the ball — a lot. Use the running game to control the clock and keep the defense off the field. If Kansas can do that, look for the Jayhawks to get their second-straight win.
KU KU
Defense
Kansas' defense faces an Iowa State offense that has been decimated by injuries at key positions. The Cyclones will likely be without starters at wide receiver and running back. Throughout the conference season, Iowa State's offense has struggled to score. Without his playmakers, the Jayhawks should force Cyclone quarterback Bret Meyer to make the plays himself. As long as Kansas can contain Meyer, its unlikely the backups should beat them.

Iowa State
Offense
95
Iowa State entered the season with preseason All-Big 12 quarterback Bret Meyer, a 1,000-yard running back in Stevie Hicks, a plethora of receiving options, and an offensive line that was returning four players with starting experience. Well, every level of the Cyclone offense has broken down in some capacity this season. The line allowed Meyer to get sacked five times in one game, six times in another, and seven times in a third game. While receiver Todd Blythe has put up some of the best stats in the Big 12, he missed last week's game with an undisclosed illness while Iowa State's other starting receiver Jon Davis will be out indefinitely because of a collapsed lung he suffered last week. Hicks is likely to miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery Tuesday. As for Meyer, well, he won't be receiving any postseason honors. With just 10 touchdowns in nine games — equaled by 10 interceptions — even Adam Barmann could challenge this all-conference quarterback for playing time.
It took a month, but Kansas finally got its first conference win of the season. The next big step is for the Jayhawks to stop their seven-game road losing streak. If Kansas hopes to qualify for a bowl game for the second-straight season, one of those two remaining wins will have to come on the road. The disappointing part about Kansas' road struggles is that the Jayhawks have blown leads in every loss. A win Saturday would set up the most important Sunflower Show down of the Mark Mangino era.

Kansas running back Jon Cornish should have a field day as Iowa State is giving up nearly 150 rushing yards a game. Standing in Cornish's way will be an extremely talented linebacker corps. Alvin Bowen leads the nation with 12.9 tackles per game and teammate Tyrone McKenzie is close behind, averaging 11.3 per game, which is fourth in the country. The third member of the group is Jon Banks, who is averaging 8.7 tackles per game. If Iowa State pressures Kansas' quarterback(s), defensive tackle Brent Curvey will be the one getting in the backfield. He leads the team with 5.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for losses.

Momentum
On the bright side, all three of Iowa State's victories this season have come at home, but the Cyclones are in danger of losing three straight home games for the first time since 2003, when they lost five straight home games. Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, had been very kind to Iowa State in 2004 and 2005. The Cyclones went a combined 9-3 at home during those seasons. If nothing else, Iowa State is disciplined and has a dangerous punt return — although he's had few opportunities this season. The Cyclones are first in the Big 12, averaging only 34.8 yards in penalties per game while punt return man Ryan Baum is first in the conference and fifth in the country, averaging 17.3 yards per return. He's also run one punt back for a touchdown on only 12 attempts barely more than one return

KICKOFF
ATAGLANCE
Iowa State was a contender to win the Big 12 North if it could have survived its early conference schedule against Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas Tech in a five-week period. Iowa State failed, going 1-4 during that span, with their only victory coming against Northern Iowa, 28-27, between the Texas and Nebraska games. The Cyclones haven't won since and, at 3-6 overall and 0-5 in conference, are well on their way to finishing in the basement of the Big 12.
5 QUICK FACTS
5 — Iowa State is tied with Kansas for last in the Big 12 with a -5 turnover margin.
32.5 — Running back Stevie Hicks and wide receiver Jon Davis, who will be inactive tomorrow, have accounted for 32.5 percent of Iowa State's total offense.
100 The Cyclones have allowed 100 more points this season than they've scored, 279-179.
116 — Total tackles by linebacker Alvin Bowen, which is tops in the nation.
36,384 — The lowest attendance at an Iowa State home game since 2000, which came in 2004 when the Cyclones hosted the Jayhawks.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Wide receiver Todd Blythe.
Unlike his quarterback, Blythe has lived up to his preseason
Blythe
DHL
All-Big 12 billing. With 42 points scored, he's accounted for nearly 25 percent of Iowa State's points this
season. Blythe has been listed as Iowa State's No.1 receiver this week; so he should be back in the starting lineup.
QUESTION MARK
Can things get any worse for quarterback Bret Meyer?
Selected all-conference first team, Meyer has not performed up to par. His completion percentage is decent at 56.6, but he's thrown 10 interceptions. To make matters worse, his line isn't helping. He's being sacked more than three times a game and was sacked 11 times the last two games combined. Oh yeah, he'll be without his starting running back and one of his starting receivers on Saturday.
BIG 12 GAMES OF INTEREST
OUATM
No. 18 Oklahoma (6-2, 3-1) at No. 21 Texas A&M (8-1, 4-1),
Saturday 7 p.m., on ONC
The marquee game of the weekend for the Big 12 features two teams fighting to keep their Big 12 Championship hopes alive. While Texas A&M controls its own destiny, Oklahoma needs to win out the rest of the season and get some help from Texas' remaining opponents.
Oklahoma was dominant on the road last week against a ranked Missouri team. After trailing 3-0 for most of the first quarter, the Sooners went on a 26-7 run. Allen Patrick continued to impress at running back, going over the century mark for the second time in as many starts.
No stranger to running the ball itself, Texas A&M enters Saturday's game averaging 213.7 rushing yards per game, good for first in the Big 12 and eighth in the country. Spearheading the Aggie running game is running back Jorvorskie Lane, who is second in the nation in scoring, averaging 11.3 yards per game.

Missouri (7-2,3-2) at Nebraska (6-3,3-2), Saturday 11 a.m. on ABC
Missouri and Nebraska lost last weekend, dropping from the AP Top 25 poll, but one of them has to win this week and the winner will take the lead in the North and likely re-enter the Top 25 rankings.
Saturday will be Homecoming for Nebraska and former Cornhusker defensive end Mike Rucker is supposed to be in attendance to watch his little brother, Missouri tight end Martin Rucker. Unfortunately for Nebraska, it won't have the elder Rucker to harass Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel. Daniel is second in the Big 12 and seventh in the nation with 289.9 total yards of offense per game.
The Tigers were held to a third of their average points per game against Oklahoma last week and won't get much of a break this week. Nebraska is only giving up two more points per game than Oklahoma and the Black-shirts will certainly have a chip on their shoulder after allowing 21 points in the fourth quarter of a 41-29 loss to Oklahoma State.
STATE
S
Oklahoma State (5-3,2-2) at No. 4 Texas (8-1,5-0), Saturday 6 p.m. on TBS
Two weeks ago, Texas let Nebraska score 13 points and take the lead in the fourth quarter before the Longhorns pulled ahead in the final minute. Last week, Texas trailed Texas Tech 31-21 at halftime and didn't lead in the game until the fourth quarter.
When these two teams met last season, Oklahoma State became the first school to seriously threaten Texas' undefeated record, taking a 28-12 lead into halftime. Texas has the home field advantage this year, but the Longhorns haven't played with the same authority this season.
Facing a pass defense that ranks 11th in the Big 12 and 112th in the nation, Oklahoma State quarterback Bobby Reid must get hot early and stay hot in the second half. Reid is leading the conference and is third in the country with a 177.4 pass efficiency rating. One reason why is wide receiver Adarius Bowman, who has 10 touchdowns this season and is the only Big 12 receiver averaging more than 100 yards per game.

Nurses give shots through car doors
Anna Faltermier/KANSAN
Gayle Shumate of Blue Summit, Mo., gets a flu shot from Elizabeth Spence, Wichita junior nursing student, Saturday morning at the University of Kansas Medical Center drive-through flu shot program on West 39th Avenue and Rainbow Boulevard. About 3,000 people received flu shots from their vehicles. The program wasn't held the past two years due to flu vaccine shortage and construction around the hospital.

Drive-throughs aren't just for French fries anymore.
People getting the free shot pulled up to one of four nurses stations Saturday, rolled down their windows and pulled up their sleeves.

Shumate said she thought the
Bob Page, hospital senior vice president and chief operating officer, estimated about 3,000 people got the shot in the drive-through program. He said they started administering shots an hour earlier than planned because of a line across the front of the hospital, down West 39th Avenue and around Rainbow Boulevard.
Anyone wanting to get the shot had to fill out a one-page consent form.
"It's a way to give back to the community and provide a service that's really needed," said Page.
Sally Whitaker, director of clinical skills, said with the drive-through program they aren't able to monitor patients as closely, which was why the consent form was

Bush supports Kansans
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES SEAL
Ryan McGeeney/XANSAN
President George W. Bush speaks to Republican Party supporters Sunday night at the ExpoCenter in Topeka. The President's visit was primarily bid as a show of support for the reelection of 2nd District Congressman Jim Rinn, although Bush also asked those in attendance to support other Republicans on Tuesday's ballot, and to urge their friends and neighbors to turn out to vote as well.
BY NATE MCGINNIS
President George W. Bush focused on staying the course in Iraq and tax cuts in a speech to an enthusiastic crowd at the Topeka Exposcentre Sunday night.
Bush, dressed casually in a blue button-up shirt without a tie and black slacks, took the stage to the sound of Van Halen's "Right Now" and thunderous applause from the audience.
The president's visit came at a time when several Kansas Republican candidates are locked in tight races for state and national offices. Candidates seated behind him during his speech included Rep. Jim Ryun, Attorney General Phill Kline and gubernatorial candidate lim Barnett.

Bush defended his tactics in the war on terror, saying they were necessary to fight terrorism and keep the country safe.

He said Iraq is the central front in the war on terror. He pointed to the recent sentencing of Saddam Hussein as a major victory and said the war in Iraq was not the reason terrorists were targeting America.
Bush said the only way the United States would not win the war in Iraq was if troops left before

countdown to election day
A number of candidates made stops in Lawrence as they criss-crossed the state in an effort to win over still-undecided voters. Attorney General Phill Kline and gubernatorial candidate Jim Barnett joined Lawrence native and Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, all Republicans, at a rally in Lawrence on Saturday afternoon. About 40 people attended the rally.
While President Bush was appearing for Republicans, Democratic U.S. House candidate Nancy Boyda held a rally of her own on the steps of the Statehouse. About 500 people attended the event, which analysts said was a sign of how close the 2nd District race has been. Boyda has said her polling indicated she had a slight lead, while most independent analysts have termed the race a toss-up.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius spent many hours Saturday stumping in Wichita for Democratic state house candidates. As of late October, Sebelius led her opponent, Jim Barnett, by nearly 20 percentage points, according to some polls. Barnett ended a three-day, 20-city tour on Saturday.
Paul Morrison, the Democratic candidate for attorney general, spent his weekend on a four-day campaign trip across Kansas. The Salina Journal reported Sunday afternoon that Morrison predicted he would unseat Kline at a Sunday rally attended by about 50 people.

Indian Cultural Club celebrates Diwali festival
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Set to the thumping beat of the Indian drum, the KU Cultural India Club hosted its Diwali celebration. A standing room only crowd of people of many ethnicities and backgrounds crammed into Woodruff Auditorium to celebrate the Hindu holiday known as a festival of lights.
Part of the University of Kansas was transported in spirit thousands of miles to India Sunday night, in a flurry of glittering fabrics and flickering lights.
The event is one effort the University is making this year to
open the door to increased study and appreciation of the Indian culture, said Diana Carlin, dean of the Graduate School and Office of International Programs, as she helped open the screen with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp.
Swetha Maganti, Cultural India Club president and Kano, Nigeria, doctoral student, said that although the holiday of Diwali, which is celebrated annually in the fall, is of Hindu tradition, its message of hope unites cultures of India.
"We're about spreading cultural tolerance and acceptance," she said.

Spotlight on Organizations Ballroom Dance Club
BY JESSICA SAIN-BAIRD
Ballroom dancing was never a hobby or interest for Jorge Ortiz, Lima, Peru, graduate student, before he saw an advertisement for dance classes on campus.
He tried it out but found the dance style fairly difficult in the beginning.
"The first few times it was pretty uncomfortable; it's something you've never done before," he said.
Over time, though, the patterns became easier and he continued with ballroom dancing.
His enjoyment of the dance style grew, and now Ortiz serves as president of the KU Ballroom Dance Club. The club's purpose is to teach and promote ballroom dancing in the Lawrence community and has been at the University for about 15 years, he said.
Professionals and student teachers instruct lessons that start at the beginning of each semester, which is when Ortiz recommends those interested join the club. Ballroom and salsa dancing lessons are held throughout the week. Members show up as much as they want, and
pay a $25 fee for a semester of lessons. Neither experience nor a partner is required. The lessons, which attract about 25 people each week, are aimed mostly toward people who want to dance as a hobby Ortiz said.
"We do the more social aspect," he said, which includes getting together, learning to dance, and going to clubs.
The organization's third annual Masquerade Ball will be held at 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 11 at Camelot Ballroom, 1117 Massachusetts St. The event is open to the public and costs $5 for students and $7 for non-
students. The evening will begin with a free dance lesson, according to the Ballroom Dance Club Web site.
Anyone in the Lawrence area is invited to join the Ballroom Dance Club. For more information, those interested can visit their Web site at http://groups.ku.edu/~kubdc/ or e-mail the group at kubdc/ku.edu.

Attorneys general race gets ugly in final days
TOPEKA — Complaints about negative mailings and phone calls to voters abounded as the bitter attorney general's race between Republican incumbent Phil Kline and Democratic challenger Paul Morrison entered its final days.
Kline was upset about mailings by a group with ties to Dr. George Tiller, who operates a Wichita abortion clinic, suggesting Kline doesn't care about making sure divorced parents pay child support. The mailing cites a 1997 vote by Kline as a House member, which he said was mischaracterized.
Meanwhile, Carol Williams, state Governmental Ethics Commission executive director, said Friday she's fielded numerous complaints about anonymous phone calls to voters, including calls in which people who say they plan to vote for Morrison were berated. Both campaigns decried the latter tactic.

ELECTION 2006: Decide for yourself
Secretary of State adds e-cards to boost votes
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Kansas Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh hopes new technology will help to encourage higher turnout among younger voters in Tuesday's elections.
Thornburgh's office worked with Associated Advertising, a Wichita public relations agency, to design a new type of electronic greeting card reminding people of the election
and the importance of voting.
Stephanie Wing, public information officer for Thornburgh, said the cards, known as "v-cards," were the result of a desire by Thornburgh's office to attract more voters in the 18-to-24 age group. Traditionally, that age group has the lowest turnout in elections in the United States.
"We thought this might be the way to appeal to that group," Wing said.
The cards function the same way as any other e-card. Users can go to the Vote Kansas Web site at www.votes.org and customize a card. The card can then be sent to the e-mail addresses of friends and family.
Though e-cards have existed for years, Wing said she thought the election-themed cards, cre-
"I would hope people would already know it's election day. There's been so much stuff on TV and in the paper."
MATT STURGEON Overland Park senior
ated by e-card designers Blue Mountain, were the first of their kind in the country.
Because the idea is new, Wing said she had no way of knowing if the cards would be successful in increasing
young voter turnout, but she did say hits to the site increased during the last week. Fifty cards had been sent as of Friday.
"It seems like people are starting to take notice," Wing said.
Some students said they understood the logic behind the creation of the cards, but did not necessarily think they would be effective in appealing to younger voters.
Matt Sturgeon, Overland Park senior, said he didn't think reminders of the election would be effective.
"I would hope people would already know it's election day," Sturgeon said. "There's been so much stuff on TV and in the paper. Besides, not a lot of people our age check their e-mail every day."
Pierce Weaver, Overland Park
senior, agreed.
"Personally, it wouldn't make me more likely to vote," Weaver said.
For those who do think it will be effective, v-cards are available at the Web site through Tuesday.

Groups unite to build house
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Greek community, KU Habitat for Humanity finance, construct house
1975
BY MATT ELDER
Mindv Ricketts/KANSAN
Will Sellers, Startling, Va., senior, helps Blake Davis, one of the future residents of The House that Greeks Built, lift a wall into place. Students and members of the Greek community are working with KU Habitat for Humanity to build a house for the Davis family.
The KU Habitat for Humanity organization and members of the House that Greeks Built met Saturday morning to begin construction on a Lawrence Habitat for Humanity home.
The greek community presented a check to the Lawrence organization, and a Nail Driving Ceremony symbolized the start of construction. The money was raised in an auction held during Homecoming weekend.
The two groups have cosponsored the home, both through fundraising and volunteer labor. This will be the first house the greek community has built in three years and the first house that the KU Habitat group has sponsored. In the past, the KU Habitat group has donated money and labor to the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity.
"We wanted a name for the house that was neutral for both groups," said Amy Matewson, Axell senior and KU Habitat for Humanity president, "so we're calling it the Hawk House because it was student-funded."
Members of both groups will be volunteering to help construction crews on Saturdays during the weekends and Tuesdays and Thursdays. Work shifts will consist of half Greek and half KU Habitat volunteers, making it a joint effort. The dedication of the house is tentatively set
for Feb.12.
Daniel Larson, Eau Claire, Wis. freshman, had no previous experience with Habitat for Humanity, but was eager for the opportunity in Lawrence.
The KU Habitat for Humanity group has raised $20,000 and needs to raise $10,000 more by Feb.12 for construction costs.
"I've always wanted to help out with this group," Larson said. "It's nice to come out and help this family with a house they will be living in."
Blake and Dawn Davis will be the homeowners of the Hawk House, with their 2-year-old son, Tristian, and 8-month-old daughter,
Bethany.
The homeowners are expected to give hundreds of hours of labor, or "sweat-equity," towards building both their house and other habitat houses in the neighborhood. The Comfort Neighborhood is scheduled to have seven Lawrence Habitat for Humanity houses by July 7. The Davis' house will be the third in the neighborhood.

"The two free meals and the free T-shirt were a big part of it for me," he said.
Carlie Bittel, SUA games coordinator and Hays sophomore, organized the annual event, which she said had been going on "as long as anybody in the office can remember."
Bittel said that the questions were provided by the Association of Colleges and Universities International and ranged in difficulty from easy to extremely hard.
Kohtz said he and his teammates had their share of difficult questions. One in particular came to his mind.
"It was 'Who wrote The Ugli Duckling?' and we answered Winston Churchill," Kohtz said. "That's our strategy though, when in doubt, answer Winston Churchill."
The correct answer is Hans Christian Anderson.
Kohtz and his team members all agreed though that the College Bowl was a fun way to spend six hours of their Saturday.

Max Boot, author of "War Made New: Technology, Warfare, and the Course of History, 1500 to Today," speaks about his book Friday at Oread Books in the Kansas Union. He is the senior fellow of National Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and spoke about how technology has changed the way the world fights war.
Security fellow evaluates history, evolution of war
BY BEN SMITH
Sixteen people gathered Friday afternoon in Oread Books at the Kansas Union to discuss war and how it has evolved during the past 500 years.
Max Boot, senior fellow for the National Security Studies of the Council of Foreign Relations, spoke to the group as part of a tour promoting his latest book, "War Made New."
After giving a brief overview of his book, Boot fielded questions from the audience. He discussed technology as a helpful tool as well as a hindrance in the current Iraqi war and talked about the necessity of educating troops not only
in warfare but also in cultural differences and sensitivities.
John White,
Leavenworth
senior, listened
to Boot as he
discussed the
current problems
in Iraq.
"I've been reading his book." White said. "And he makes many good points about the way

technology changes everything."
"In the first Gulf War we didn't lose one tank because we were fighting our enemy from miles away," Boot said. "In this war, we've had many more disabled tanks because our enemy has become more adept at circumventing our defenses."
"We don't need smart bombs so much as we need smart people," he added.
"It's not as if the Wright brothers woke up one morning and said, 'Hey, let's figure out a way to kill thousands of people from the air."
"In many ways our adversaries are much more effective in the management of their forces than we are," Boot said. "Al-Qaida is very lean. They're not very sophisticated in their technologies."
Boot's book, looks at the evolution of warfare from the French invasion of Italy in the late 15th Century to the current conflict in Iraq.
Improvised Explosive Devices have caused most troop deaths on the ground in Iraq. Boot said. The devices are attached to the sides or
White and other audience members raised questions about current trends in warfare, about how the U.S. army is still not large enough to be an occupying army and how despite U.S. technology, troops are still dying on the ground.
Boot said that the main purpose of his book was to show how major powers throughout history

had fallen and risen depending on their abilities to adapt to the changing methods of warfare.
Boot said that the best technology came from using new inventions and adapting them in a way that could be applied to the battle field.
The Mongols were defeated by
the Europeans because they failed to take advantage of gunpowder, he said. The invention of faster cars, the use of two way radios and the application of new tactics won World War I and World War II.
"It's not as if the Wright brothers woke up one morning and said, 'Hey, he figure out a way to kill thousands of people from the air,' Boot said. "Someone came along and saw a way to use the airplane in war."

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Perkins makes a difference
$ AMI SNOER
Director focuses on fundraising techniques
BY C.J. MOORE
When Lew Perkins arrived at Kansas, the Athletics Department was in debt, cutting teams and bringing in less money than any school in the Big 12 other than Baylor.
made it very clear to me that was a priority he thought the athletics department should have," Perkins said.
Now, just more than three years since Perkins joined the University as the athletics director, he has turned Kansas into the most profitable athletics department in the conference. The department generated more than $22.5 million more revenue than its expenses during the 2005-2006 school year. Kansas State is second with a difference of $8,863,492 between expenses and total revenue.
"There wasn't a lot of people out there trying to raise money and when I got the job, the Chancellor
Since Perkins took the job, he has brought in close to $100 million in donations. Kansas received more money last year than any other year during Perkins tenure at the University, receiving $31.9 million in contributions.
Perkins was brought in by Chancellor Robert Hemenway in 2003 to build a department that could raise money on its own and didn't need to depend on the University for help. It quickly became clear that Perkins was the right man for the job.
Only Oklahoma State with $211 million received more in contributions in the Big 12. The Cowboys inflated number stems from the well-publicized large donation of
Grant Snider/KANSAN
$165 million from alumnus Boone Pickens, who gave the school the largest donation anyone has ever given to a NCAA athletics program.
"I've been with Lew a long time and he's a master when it comes to raising money," said Sean Lester, associate athletics director of internal affairs.
Perkins went to work immediately with an emphasis on fundraising. He beefed up the Williams Fund, which is the group in charge of raising money for the department, from a staff of one to 10 current members. He instituted the now famous points system in men's basketball for season ticket holders. In one year, KU athletics was out of debt.
Perkins said that he estimated 90 percent of Division 1 programs operated in debt. Kansas has been able to stay out of the red with a business plan that Perkins said he was able to show donors.
The large donations have helped Kansas climb its way up from eleventh to third in the conference in total revenues, trailing only to Texas and Texas A&M. Those two
schools, however, do not have as great a disparity between their revenues and expenses as Kansas.
Perkins said his department worked hard at educating donors about the needs of the department, which has led to large donations.
"I think donors want to look at us and have confidence in us to do the right thing with money — that we have a game plan," Perkins said.
Big 12 Athletics Departments' figures
These figures are from the 2005-2006 academic year from each institution's athletics department.
| Institution: | Expenses: | Revenues: | Contributions: |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Kansas | $47,139,664 | $69,720,638 | $31,899,373 |

| Texas Tech | $45,820,058 | $43,198,209 | $3,899,295 |
*Expenses and revenues from 2004-2005 academic year.
Perkins has used this strategy to obtain large donations from alumni, such as the donations made by Tom Kivisto and Dana Anderson to build the new football facility. Perkins said another large donation was on the way that the department expected to announce later this year.

Kansas has gone from the laughing stock to the standard in the conference on how to build an athletics department. Perkins said he had received calls or visits from at least 15 athletics departments wanting to see the Kansas model.
"It doesn't happen overnight." Perkins said.
But at Kansas, in just more than three years, it nearly has.

》 CITY OF LAWRENCE
Consultants envision sustainable future Cooperation between University, city essential for improvements
BY MARK VIERTHALER
The relationship between the University and the city was cited as one of the most important relationships in keeping Lawrence a livable community. They analyzed what steps would have to be taken to make Lawrence a sustainable community, as defined by the ability to maintain a community without wasting natural and cultural resources.
Friday night, consultants from the American Institute of Architects painted a vision of what Lawrence could look like two decades in the future.
The six-person team spent Wednesday through Friday in Lawrence, studying the city's attitudes regarding transportation, development, culture and racial relations. Friday afternoon, they presented their official recommendations to the city.
William Gilchrist, the team leader, said the largest problem facing Lawrence was the ability to grabble
The city needed to bring in more mature businesses that could form a mutually beneficial relationship with the intellectual properties of the University, he said. Gilchrist said the University needed to be made more accessible from each point of the city. This could be accomplished with sidewalks and bike paths.
understanding the full potential of historic preservation, its tangible benefits and disconnected cultural assets throughout the city.
Gilchrist also said there needed to be a strengthening of relations between the University and the city.
Caroline Lobo, sustainability team member, said another area that had been hemorrhaging is the cultural significance of downtown, the University and Haskell Indian Nations University.
"How do you transfer this culture and heritage to the next generation?" Lobo asked regarding the proper way to inform the public. "This is for students who come in from all over the country, those were
Other recommendations included not building a traffic way, but a "green way" in which development is built around the natural surroundings, and implementing a more streamlined way to apply for building codes. The team also addressed citizen's concerns about too much growth.
born and stay and those who were born and leave."
Mayor Mike Amyx said the recommendations from the consultants offered an excellent chance for the city to give some shape to future development.
Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highberger said he felt there hadn't been any cohesive strategy within the city's development plan and was confident they would offer some sort of framework to proceed.

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Defiant, raging and arrogant to the end, Saddam Hussein trembled and shouted "God is great" as he was sentenced to hang, then walked steadily from the courtroom with a smirk on his face.
Saddam's sentence may lead to civil war
"Long live the people and death to their enemies. Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!" Saddam cried out after the verdict, before bailiffs took his arms and walked the once all-powerful leader from the courtroom.
The hawk-faced chief judge, Raouf Abdul-Rahman, sentenced Saddam to the gallows Sunday for crimes against humanity, convicting the former dictator and slx subordinates for a nearly quarter-century-old case of violent suppression in this land of long memories, deep grudges and sectarian slaughter.
IRAQ
Shites and Kurds, who had been tormented and killed in the tens of thousands under Saddam's iron rule, erupted in celebration _ but looked ahead fearfully for a potential backlash from the Sunni insurgency that some believe could be a final show into all-out civil war.
The former Iraqi dictator and six subordinates were convicted and sentenced for the 1982 killings of 148 people in a single Shiite town after an attempt on his life there.
The nine-month trial had inflamed the nation, and three defense lawyers and a witness were murdered in the course of its 39 sessions.
A round-the-clock curfew imposed before the verdict helped avert widespread bloodshed, but police said 72 people were killed or found dead nationwide by daybreak, and worries grew about what will happen when the curfew is lifted.
Televised, the trial was watched throughout Iraq and the Middle East as much for theater as for substance. Saddam was ejected from the courtroom repeatedly for his political harangues, and his half-brother and co-defendant, Barzur. Ibrahim, once showed up in long underwear and sat with his back to the judges.
"The verdict placed on the heads of the former regime does not represent a verdict for any one person. It is a verdict on a whole dark era that was unmatched in Iraq's history." Nouri al-Maliki said.
The White House praised the Iraqi judicial system and denied the U.S. had been "scheming" to have the historic verdict announced two days before American midterm elections, widely seen as a referendum on the Bush administration's policy in Iraq.
With justice for Saddam's crimes done, the U.S.-backed Shiite prime minister called for reconciliation and delivered the most eloquent speech of his five months in office.
President Bush called the verdict "a milestone in the Iraqi people's efforts to replace the rule of a tyrant with the rule of law."
"It's a major achievement for Iraq's young democracy and its constitutional government," the president said.
"Today, the victims of this regime have received a measure of the justice which many thought would never come," he added.

KANSAS GOVERNOR
Send Sebelius back to Topeka
Students should vote for Democratic incumbent Kathleen Sebelius. Here's why:
Sebelius signed a bill that requires interest earned from tuition and fee payments to be used for deferred maintenance. The University of Kansas has estimated its deferred maintenance backlog to be more than $237 million. The total maintenance backlog for the state is estimated to be $584 million. But the money will pay for only
The money will pay for only a fraction of the repairs. If re-elected, let's hope she finds additional ways to fix this problem, which she seems willing to do.
a fraction of the repairs.
a fraction of the repairs. If re-elected, let's hope she finds additional ways to fix this
problem, which she seems to be willing to do.
Sebelius says she has increased funding to Board of Regents schools by more than $100 million.
Sebelius supports a woman's right to have an abortion.
Personal income and per capita income have increased since 2002, according to a 2006 report by the Kansas Department of Labor. Both outpaced the national growth rate
in 2005, the report states.
Sebelius signed important legislation that provided in-state college tuition for children of illegal immigrants. The law benefits both the state and students.
Under Sebelius' tenure, Kansas' unemployment rate has fallen from 5.7 to 4.1 percent, according to the U.S.Department of Labor's Web site.
Steve Lynn for the editorial board.
KANSAS ATTORNEY GENERAL
Choose Morrison and protect our rights
Kline uses his power to promote his personal agenda
In Tuesday's election, the only choice for voters in the race for attorney general is Democrat Paul Morrison, rather than incumbent Republican Phill Kline.
Since taking office, Kline has become a lightning rod for criticism because of his controversial stances on several issues, mostly his pursuit of abortion clinic records.
As Johnson County district
attorney, Morrison has demonstrated that he has the ideal set of skills for the job of Attorney General, namely a dedication to justice and correct view of his own power.
He has worked hard to combat violent criminals and sexual predators, and will continue that work when he reaches the attorney general's office. He takes a realistic view of the drug war, stating that treatment must
be merged with sentencing in order to truly combat drug use.
Phill Kline has shown a frightening willingness to use the power of his office to advance his own personal agenda based on religious views, and the state of Kansas deserves an attorney general more focused on justice for all citizens.
McKay Stangler for the editorial board.
U. S. CONGRESS 2ND DISTRICT
Elect Boyda and help make a change in Washington
It's time for new political leadership on the national level. Choosing Nancy Boyda is a step toward change and is good for the U.S.
Students will be better served by voting Democrat Nancy Boyda to the House of Representatives.
Plans to help students through education and raising the minimum wage are on her agenda.
Boyda has acknowledged the consistent increase in tuition among Kansas universities. Her objective is to help students through Pell grants. With Pell grants covering less and less of tuition costs, she says she would increase them so those from low-income families could
afford a college education.
Republican incumbent Jim Ryun and Boyda have two separate agendas when it comes to minimum wage. While in Congress, Ryun has not worked to increase the minimum wage. Boyda suggests working to increase the minimum wage to $7.25. An increase is long overdue.
In regard to preventing illegal immigration, Ryun thinks the solution is to build a fence. Ryun supported the recent Secure Fence Act, an overly simple solution to such a big problem. Boyda to wants to protect the
borders but says it starts with punishing those who hire illegal immigrants, along with increasing border enforcement.
Not only is Boyda the right candidate for Kansas, electing Boyda helps make a change in the nature of politics in Washington, D.C.
Boyda's platforms are progressive and provide a new direction for Kansans. Her leadership would provide much needed reform.
Louis Mora for the editorial board.
U. S. CONGRESS 3RD DISTRICT
Moore deserves another 2 years
In Dennis Moore's eight years representing the 3rd District of Kansas in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Democrat has proven to be a moderate leader willing to work with his colleagues, both Democrat and Republican, to get work done.
While the rest of the House has too often wasted time squabbling over social issues, Moore has focused his agenda on realistic goals and shown an open attitude toward compromise.
He is in favor tax reform, yet
recognizes that current House proposals that could do away with the country's progressive tax system would shift the tax burden from the rich to the poor.
He's a proven leader and moderate voice to represent Kansans in D.C.
He has worked with Republicans and Democrats to attain more benefits for the families of U.S. troops killed in action and to reduce prescription drug costs.
He has worked with a bipartisan group to make sure the recommendations of the 9-11 Commission are taken seriously.
Republican challenger Chuck Ahner, who has never held elective office, says he would vote
to make President Bush's tax cuts permanent, which could hurt the U.S. economy when the country is in a deficit. Moore voted for the cuts in 2000, before the economy went into recession, but voted against extending them permanently.
In an otherwise do-nothing Congress, Moore has quietly set aside partisan politics to get real work done.
Frank Tankard for the editorial board.

A roundup of endorsements from across the state
On the governor's race:
Sebelius and her running mate, Mark Parkinson, are committed to strong, well-funded schools and universities. They're also a strong team to encourage new industries based on alternative fuel sources.
Kathleen Sebelius wins our endorsement for the balanced professionalism she has demonstrated as governor, the attention-getting ambassador she has been for the state, and the good goals she has set for a second term. Four years after voters in this Republican-dominated state put their trust in a Democrat, Sebelius obviously knows and loves both the job and Kansas.
The Kansas City Star
(Kathleen Sebelius) is an able, tough politician and is quick to claim credit for numerous healthy and sound actions, policies and accomplishments in Kansas. The fact is, however, many of these highly touted accomplishments would not have been achieved without the massive help of the Republican controlled Kansas Senate and House.
The Wichita Eagle
Lawrence Journal-World
The point is that although it's unclear exactly how much progress Kansas has made under Sebelius, there are obvious signs the state has moved forward. And we think Sebelius helped steer it in the right direction.
On the Attorney General's race:
The Topeka Capital-Journal
The Kansas City Star
In sharp contrast to Kline — who has used the attorney general's office to promote a controversial personal agenda — Morrison would make sure common sense and good legal principles dictate his decisions. He's operated that way for 17 years as Johnson County's district attorney.
Morrison, a tough-as-nails veteran prosecutor, is one of the most impressive A.G. candidates to come along in years. Moreover, he inspires trust that he will return sound judgment and commonsense priorities to the state's top law-enforcement office — qualities too often lacking under Attorney General Phill Kline.
It should be a question of whether Kline has done a good, effective job as attorney general or whether Morrison, who compiled a good record as Johnson County's district attorney, could do a better job. 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.
The Wichita Eagle
Lawrence Journal-World
Kline has always been a passionate public servant, and he's been especially effective at turning his energy toward beefing up laws to protect children and the elderly while also working to stiffen penalties for criminal offenders.
The Kansas City Star
Kansans in the 2nd U.S. House District who want to see significant changes in Washington have a logical choice: Nancy Boyda, an outspoken advocate for reform at home and wiser policies abroad.
The Topeka Capital-Journal
(We) believe it is important President Bush have the support for his entire program, both domestic and foreign. For this reason, we believe it is best for Kansas, as well as for the entire country, to have Rep. Jim Ryun in Washington to support Bush's plans for the economy, taxes, job creation, national security and judicial appointments, as well as his policy to fight the growth of terrorism.
On the 2nd Congressional District
The Togeka Capital-Journal
If you don't think Ryun has helped Topeka and northeast Kansas, just look around. He supported measures providing funding to replace the Topeka Boulevard Bridge, renovate the Great Overland Station and rehabilitate the hangar of the 190th Air Refueling Wing of the Kansas National Guard at Forbes Field, to name a few projects.
Lawrence Journal-World
On the 3rd Congressional District
If only the House had more representatives like Dennis Moore, the thoughtful lawmaker who has represented the 3rd District of Kansas so well for the past eight years.

DIWALI (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDY, NOVEMBER 6, 2006
"We're not trying to impose anything on anyone, we're just trying to share the excitement we have for this culture."
The event brought out a large show-case of diverse performances. A band with members form Sri Lanka, Japan, India and the United States called 3 Wishes and Aliens played a rousing set centered on traditional Indian lyrics and beats, punctuated by rap verse and notes from a saxophone.
An Indian dance troupe from the Nritya dance school in Kansas City performed a traditional dance with ringing bells tied around their feet.
Another group of students involved in the Cultural India Club took to the stage with a fusion of Indian pop music and hip-hop flavored moves. There was also a fashion show of traditional and flashy Indian saris and linen tunics.
Ankit Shah, a performer in the show and Lenexa freshman, said that the show used these vignettes to communicate the importance of the Diwali holiday. Shah said it is one of the most important holidays to the Indian culture.
Sharing meals is another important aspect of the celebration, and the Cultural India Club concluded the night with an overflowing buffet of Indian fare such as chicken tikka masala and pakoras.
"We light candles and firecrackers and spend a lot of time with family."
he said.
Maganti said that although the celebration was a major event for the club, it will host smaller events throughout the year such as Indian movie nights to continue cultural participation in the University community.
The drive-through program wasn't offered the past two years because of a vaccine shortage and construction around the hospital.
Kansan staff writer Courtney Hagen can be contacted at chagen@ kansan.com.
Jeffrey Parsons, sophomore at the Kansas Art Institute, had the flu last year.
"I think the whole concept of a drive-through flu shot is one of the most unprofessional things I've heard in my life, but at the same time I think it's a really cool idea," Parsons said.
"It was absolutely God-awful," he said. He drove through to get the shot this year.
FLU (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Edited by Kate Shipley
"I'm really happy they did it, especially for the people who are
poor and have to work all the time or who don't have the time to get a flu shot at a hospital or someplace like Walgreens," he said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 5 to 20 percent of people in the U.S. get the flu each year. About 36,000 people die from it annually.
The CDC recommends the flu vaccination as the single best way to prevent the flu.

He also defended his tax policies and explained their benefit to Americans. He highlighted his tax cuts for small businesses, the doubling of the child tax credit and the reduction of the marriage penalty as essential to a strong economy.
Outside the convention hall, groups of demonstrators bearing handmade signs stood on the sidewalk across the street before and after the event.
"It got my blood pumping," he said.
"If you vote Democrat" he said, "you're voting for a tax increase."
Bill Lucero, Topeka resident, said he started organizing people to vent their frustration with the administration as early as Tuesday morning.
"This is not anti-war. This is not pro-environment. This is not pro-healthcare. It's not pro-education," he said. "It's all those things. Everybody has their own issue."
Chad Palmquist, Topeka resident and Washburn University freshman, said he agreed with almost every syllable the president said, and thought the United States should remain in Iraq until the job is done.
Lucero began demonstrating by holding a "Got Quagmire?" sign about 2 in the afternoon. He estimated 150 to 200 people demonstrated throughout the day.
Gabriel Revecki, Lawrence junior, demonstrated with about 15 other students outside the convention center. Holding a homemade "Peace is Possible" sign, Revecki said he wanted to raise awareness for peace because he thought it was the only way to start saving lives in Iraq.

CJ Giles returns to practice; can't play until 2nd semester
BY C.J. MOORE
He's back — sort of.
Junior center CJ Giles returned to practice with the Jayhawks Friday, but will not be allowed to play a game until second semester. That means he will miss the Nov. 25 game against Florida and wouldn't be back on the court until the Dec. 19 home game against Winston-Salem State at the earliest.
Giles returns after serving a suspension that was announced Oct. 17 for arriving late to a morning workout the previous day. The suspension was due to what Coach Bill Self had called academic and personal reasons.
The day after Giles' suspension, it became known that he had not paid child support to Laura Bender, a Lawrence woman with whom he had a child. Giles faces a court hearing Iap.8 on the unpaid child support.
In the last several weeks, it seemed that Self was ready to cut ties with the junior center, but he never ruled out the possibility that

"We have evaluated CJ's progress regarding his various responsibilities, and will continue to do so," Self said, "He will be allowed to practice with the team, but he will not play in a game this semester. This penalty is appropriate for the lack of responsibility he has shown to his coaches, teammates and the Kansas basketball family."
Giles could return. After meeting with Giles Friday, Self had a change of heart.
Self added that he will not have further comment on the issue this semester. Giles has not been available for comment since his suspension began, but did speak through a press release that was sent out Friday afternoon.
"I apologize to my coaches and teammates for my actions," Giles said. "I understand why I have been suspended. I know I have to improve myself as a person — for my own good and for the good of the team."

Meier, Cyclone turnovers boost Jayhawks to road victory
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
For a team that hadn't won a road game in nearly two years, Kansas certainly didn't have any trouble in Saturday's 41-10 victory against Iowa State.
Boosted by four Cyclone turnovers and the return of starting freshman quarterback Kerry Meier, the Jayhawks claimed their largest road victory since the creation of the Big 12 Conference.
AMES, Iowa - Well that was easy.
But the bigger story for Kansas is that the Jayhawks moved one step closer to bowl eligibility, needing just one more, victory to qualify for postseason play for the second straight season.
The last time Kansas won this big on the road in conference play was when the Jayhawks had a 31 point victory against Oklahoma State back in 1991.
Just two weeks ago, with the Jayhawks in the middle of a fourgame losing streak, a bowl game seemed like a long shot at best. Now, Kansas needs just one victory against either Kansas State or Missouri to get its sixth victory.
"I like the fact that we're having a bye week," Kansas coach Mark
Mangino stuck true to his word and let Reesing see significant playing time, after stripping his redshirt last week against Colorado.
But the Jayhawks will have to wait a week before playing the most meaningful Sunflower Showdown in more than a decade. They'll have to find a way to keep the momentum and energy created from the last two victories fresh during the upcoming bye week.
"It's definitely the type of game that got us over the hump after a big win last week," freshman quarterback Todd Reesing said. "I think we're headed in the right direction for the rest of the season."
Despite Meier's return from a shoulder injury he suffered two weeks ago, he split time with Reesing throughout the game. Meier was listed as the starter and saw action on nine drives, with Reesing playing in five.
Saturday's game, though, seemed to be just the rout the team needed for a season filled with games lost in the fourth quarter.
On the day, Meter finished 17-for-22 passing for 199 yards with two touchdowns, but was sacked three times and lost a fumble. Reesing was just 3-for-5 passing for 35 yards, with a touchdown and an interception.
Mangino said. "The last 10 weeks have been a grind."
Neither quarterback seemed to know what to make of the shuffle that happened throughout the game for no rhyme or reason.

Mangino employs musical chairs quarterback strategy
AMES, Iowa — The 41-10 Kansas blowout might not have delivered much excitement, but the pregame theatrics sure did.
Rewind to last Saturday, when Mark Mangino pulled the redshirt off Todd Reesing. The freshman quarterback delivered Mangino the game and saved the season.
On Tuesday, Kerry Meier, who you may remember as the other freshman savior, returned to the practice field healthy after an injury he sustained at Baylor. Two stand-out quarterbacks is a recipe for disaster, but Mangino wasn't going to be the cook in that kitchen.

In the minutes before the game, confusion was at its highest. Meier was stretching his arm. Reesing was throwing the ball around. Senior quarterback Adam Barmann was throwing the ball around.

key plays
At the end of the first quarter, Reesing entered the game for his first series. Facing fourth and six on the Iowa State 29, Kansas went for it.
It was a day full of highlights for the Jayhawks. Here are some of the plays that stood out:
Kansas had failed to get a first down on its second-straight drive to start the game, and trailed Iowa State 3-0 when the special teams unit came out to punt. Iowa State return man Ryan Baum muffed a fair catch.
Iowa State defensive back Jason Harris initially caught the ball, but Fine ripped it from his hands, as the two hit the ground. It was ruled a touchdown because there was no conclusive replay evidence.
Kansas linebacker Joe Mortensen covered up the loose ball and the Jayhawks scored on the next possession.
Reeing rolled to his right,
missing a wide-open Marcus
Henry to his left. Instead he
waved Derek Fine towards the
endzone and threw to him.
With halftime minutes away and Kansas on the Iowa State goal line, the play was a handoff to fullback Brandon McAnderson, who was going to throw a pass to a Kansas receiver, but none was open. Instead he switched directions, and ran for a touchdown in the opposite corner.
"That's a football player making a play," Mangino said of the improvitation.

Second half lifts Kansas Jayhawks rebound from halftime deficit for victory

Marija Zinic struggled, going 1-for-5 from the field, in the first half of Sunday's exhibition game against Washburn.
In the second half, however, Zinic played the whole 20 minutes and led her team to a 68-62 comeback victory against the Lady.Blues.
With junior guard Taylor McIntosh in foul trouble and on the bench for the majority of the second half, it was Zinic's time to shine. The sophomore forward led the team with 15 points and seven rebounds. She was also 9-for-12 from the free throw line, but wasn't ready to commend herself on her efforts.
"It's not my highest," she said. "Last year in the tournament, I was 12-for-12, so, I could have done better."
The Jayhawks went into halftime down 29-24. The deficit could be attributed to the team's inability to guard Cindy Keeley, Jessica Aebi and Sequorhea Stiger, Washburn's trio of guards who scored 19 of the Lady Blues' first-half points.
In the second half, the Jayhawks' fixed that problem by increasing the minutes of freshman guards Kelly Kohn and LaChelda Jacobs. Kohn and Jacobs' quickness created five backcourt steals between the two in the second half.
One of those came from Jacobs with 8.37 left in the game, seconds after the jayhawks had just taken their first lead. Jacobs sped down the floor following the steal for an uncontested lay-up, making the score 48-45.
"I told her, if you want a shot then you guard someone and get a run off of transition," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Jacobs did, and it translated into the biggest basket of her 10-point performance. Despite scoring 10 points, Jacobs made only four of her
16 shots from the floor.
"We just need to get her to have a little more discipline in her shot selection," Henrickson said. "She has some teammates that need the ball."
Kohn scored only seven points, but had five rebounds that initiated a 14-1 run in the middle of the second half.
"The main reason we came back was our defensive intensity," Kohn said. "Once we got that going, we felt real comfortable on both sides of the court."
Kansas' offense also improved dramatically in the second half. After only shooting 32 percent in the first half, Kansas rallied and shot 53.6 percent in the second. The team was 0-for-4 from three-point range.
McCray established herself as the sharpest shooter on the young Kansas team. McCray shot 6-for-10 and finished with 13 points for the second consecutive game.
Only four of the seven freshmen played against the Lady Blues, but they scored 34 of Kansas' 68 points. More importantly, Kohn felt like the young team learned something on Sunday.

"The real test was just how we were going to respond to being down at half," said Kohn, "I think we passed the test."

Early in Sunday's game, it was clear that the Washburn players were not intimidated by the Rock Chalk Chant or the vocal projayhawk crowd.
Washburn keeps game close
The Lady Blues led at halftime and controlled the game until late in the second half before ultimately falling to the Jayhawks, 68-62.
Despite going unnoticed by mainstream basketball fans, the Division II Washburn had won 51 of its last 52 games.
Kohn finished with five rebounds and seven points, but her biggest contribution came with eight seconds remaining when she stole an inbounds pass to ensure the Kansas victory.
From the beginning of the game, the Jayhawks looked stunned by the Lady Blues' efficient offense and staunch defense. Washburn forwards Megan Sullivan and Brooke Uebelaker set the tone early, picking off several errant passes from Kansas senior guard Shaquina Mosley.
"Coming into the second half we knew what we needed to do," Kohn said. "We told ourselves to pick up the defensive intensity."
Washburn showed patience on the offensive end and scored four first-half three pointers. Fortunately for the Jayhawks, the second half in no way resembled the first. Freshmen guards Kelly Kohn and LaChelda Jacobs injected some life into the home crowd with timely steals and fiery play on defense.

Jacobs made only two of her nine shots in the second half, but thoroughly frustrated the Lady Blues with her four steals.

Cyclones snatch away postseason hopes
Iowa State sweeps Kansas in Hilton Coliseum; Setter Katie Martincich passes 1,000-assist mark
BY DREW DAVISON
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard struggled to eat his barbecue dinner after his team lost at Iowa State Saturday night.
The Cyclones (17-7, 9-5 Big 12 Conference) swept the Jayhawks (10-14, 3-12) by scores of 30-18, 30-22 and 30-23 in Hilton Coliseum.
"It's been that type of day, I can't oven eat my food," Bechard said. "It seems like the harder you try, the more you get in your own way."
Bechard said the team had a great day before the match started as the队 warmed up well and they put together a good game plan. But everything fell apart for the
Jayhawks once the match started.
"We were fired up for the match,

the sideout percentage as the difference in the match. Kansas' sideout percentage was 44 compared to Iowa State's 59 percent.
A sideout is when the receiving team wins the rally

The Cyclones also led the Jayhawks in several other categories including, serving aces (7-1), blocks
(8-3) and hitting efficiency (.344
..162).
The lone bright spot for the Jayhawks was freshman setter Katie Martinicich. Martinicich had 34 assists on the night and notched her 1,000th assist of the season.
"I didn't really think about it," she said. "It's nice to get it, but it would have been nicer with a win."
Hill led the Kansas offense with a team-high 11 kills. She also had a team-high .409 hitting efficiency.
A few weeks ago, the Jayhawks were still in the hunt to make their fourth straight NCAA tournament. But with postseason hopes shot, staying motivated will be difficult.
"We can still have some great moments and gain some moment-
tum heading into spring," Bechard said. "We've got to play hard for each other and the school we represent."
Kansas has just tvo more opportunities to get its first conference road victory this season - against Baylor and Kansas State. The Jayhawks defeated both teams in Lawrence earlier in the season.
Kansas will next take on Colorado (13-9, 9-6) at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Admission is free for students with a valid KUID.

Chiefs defeat Rams, win third straight under Herm Edwards
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — After backing up pregame braggadocio about dealing out the hits rather than taking them, Larry Johnson had a lot more to say.
Johnson rushed for 172 yards, becoming the second straight running back to punish the St. Louis Rams' defense in the Kansas City Chiefs' 31-17 victory on Sunday. It wasn't nearly enough.
City, capitalized en route to a 17- point cushion.
"I'm a little disappointed because I feel we did leave 200 yards of rushing on that field," Johnson said. "The way we were going out there and just pushing them backward and shakings things up, we should have done even more."
The Chiefs defense forced three early turnovers against a team that emphasizes ball security, and Kansas
"You can't put Kansas City in a short field like that," Rams offensive tackle Orlando Pace said. "It makes it tough on us and a lot easier on those guys."
Jared Allen stripped Marc Bulger on a sack and recovered Steven Jackson's fumble for the Chiefs, who have won three in a row for the first time under new coach Herman Edwards.
Two touchdown catches by Tony Gonzalez, who broke Otis Taylor's franchise career mark, helped Kansas City (5-3) raise its record to an NFL-best 21-5 in interconference play since 1995. Damon Huard was mistake-free again, going 10-for-15 for 148 yards and three touchdowns.
Jackson had 219 yards in all for the Rams (4-4), who have lost three
in a row to negate a fast start under new coach Scott Linehan. Jackson had 86 yards on 19 carriages with a 1-yard touchdown, and caught a career-best 13 passes for 133 yards, but also had one of the Rams' three lost fumbles.
It was the first' 100-yard receiving game by a Rams running back since Marshall Faulk in 2001.
Johnson had 172 yards on 27 carries, including a 1-yard score for his fifth touchdown in two weeks; a 45-yarder when the Chiefs were backed up in the second quarter; and a 16-yarder that set up a field goal. He secured his fifth 100-yard game of the year and the 18th of his career before halftime against a beleaguered Rams defense that LaDainian Tomlinson gouged for 183 yards last week.
"There's no reason to try to sugarcoat it," Rams safety Corey
Chavous said. "We're doing a good job, I think, 90 percent of the time stopping the run. But we're giving up chunks of yardage _ I mean, big chunks of yardage _ on two or three plays.
"Those two or three plays are the reason why somebody's rushing for 170 yards rather than 70 or 80 yards in a game."
The Chiefs lost left guard Brian Waters, coming off an All-Pro season, with a leg injury in the first quarter. Johnson, who said "I don't get hit, I give hits" on a conference call days after -getting 155 yards against the Seahawks, wasn't slowed down much.
"I can't concentrate on who goes down," Johnson said. "If everybody goes down I've got to find a way to get yardage."
The Rams entered the game among the NFL leaders in turnover
margin at plus-10. They're minus-4 the last two games after the three costly fumbles helped the Chiefs take a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter.
Dane Looker, in for his sure hands with the Chiefs punting from the St. Louis 45, fumbled a fair catch in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Allen ran down Bulger on a rollout and stripped him, and then stripped Jackson on a 3-yard gain up the middle.
Johnson's 1-yard run came six plays after the first Rams turnover. The Chiefs made it 14-0 after the second when a wide-open Gonzalez snared a 3-yarder.
Four plays after Jackson coughed up the ball at the St. Louis 33, Lawrence Tynes' 42-yard field goal made it 17-0 with 10:22 to go in the first half.
The rest of the way it was a game of catch-up for the Rams. They closed to 24-17 on Kevin Curtis's 2-yard catch late in the third quarter before the Chiefs answered with Huard's 11-yard pass to Kris Wilson with 6:20 to go.
Gonzalez has 59 career TDs receiving, two more than Taylor for the franchise record. He needs three more to catch Shannon Sharpe, who holds the NFL record for a tight end.
Bulger's fourth straight 300-yard passing game was wasted for St. Louis. He was 31-for-42 for 354 yards with no interceptions.
The game ended on a sour note for the Rams. Kevin Curtis was taken to a hospital for observation after a blow to the ribs from Sammy Knight on a meaningless 23-yard catch near the Kansas City sideline.

Defense 'very,very good'
BY SHAWN SHROYER
AMES, Iowa — During the first nine weeks of the season, the Kansas defense showed flashes of dominance. However, most of the time, the Jayhawks looked lost in pass coverage and inept at getting to the quarterback.
On Saturday, though, the Jayhawk defense got its act together, shutting down the Cyclones unlike any opponent it's faced this season. Kansas allowed a season-low 213 total yards of offense.
"The defense was very, very good today," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "Played the run very well, played the pass very well and got turnovers for our offense."
iowa State ran the ball 30 times, yielding just 33 yards. Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer passed for only 180 yards — 45 less than his season average — and no touchdowns to one interception.
As a result, Meyer only completed about half of his passes and Kansas sophomore cornerback Anib Talih.
Of course, the Kansas pass rush kept Meyer on the run most of the afternoon and he certainly wasn't the only player who turned the ball
Because Como and his fellow linemen got into the backfield on their own, he said it allowed the defense to drop seven players into coverage, rather than blitz extra players and force the secondary to play man coverage.
over for Iowa State as the Cyclones managed just 10 points. In addition to Meyer's interception, Iowa State lost three of five fumbles.
"We didn't blitz a lot, but we blitzed when we needed to and we kept them guessing." Como said.
When the pressure was on Kansas to end Iowa State's drives, rarely did the Jayhawks fail. Iowa State was 4-for-13 on third down conversions and was unsuccessful on all three of its fourth down conversion attempts.
Iowa State was without starting running back Stevie Hicks, so the key for Kansas was disrupting the Cyclones' passing game. The Jayhawks did just that, sacking Meyer six times — which doubled their previous high for sacks in a game this season — with the defensive line leading the attack.
Paul Como, senior defensive end, said the defense worked on pass rush tactics this week so it wouldn't have to rely as heavily on blitzes to create pressure.
"Our D-line played its ass off today," sophomore linebacker Joe Mortensen said.
Sometimes Meyer's legs got him in trouble and he actually scrambled into the waiting arms of Kansas defenders.
Defensive linemen recorded four of Kansas' six sacks and their ability to control the line of scrimmage and get to the quarterback was invaluable to the linebackers and secondary behind them.
"He tried to do a little too much, but he was just trying to give his team the best chance to win," Como said.
Mortensen and Como were just two of many Jayhawks who harassed Meyer regularly on Saturday. Mortensen led Kansas with two sacks while Como added a sack of his own and had one of Kansas' two quarterback hits.
picked off his fifth pass of the season, moving him into a tie for first in the Big 12.
The defensive line also preoccupied Iowa State's offensive linemen to free up Kansas' linebackers and secondary to shut down Iowa State's running game. Seven tackles behind the line helped hold Iowa State to its second worst rushing performance of the season.
"We were just running around there, free," Mortensen said. "We could just go straight to the ball"
Saturday's solid defensive performance was Kansas' second in as many weeks. More importantly, the Kansas defense is confident that it can be a strength for this team, rather than a weakness.
"We've been trying to get more pressure and got better the last couple weeks." Como said, "We all came together and played real well today."

"I felt like wed score

Cyclones shot themselves in the foot with costly turnovers and pen-
some points," Mangino said. "The only question was whether our defense would be able to buckle down."
Kansas' defense certainly ben
efitted with Iowa State being forced to use backups on offense and it showed. The Cyclones were held to just 33 yards rushing on 30 carries and 213 yards overall. More than anything, the victory gave Kansas back the confidence and swagger that it started the season with. Considering that they finish
off the season against their two biggest rivals, a little confidence might be all that was needed.
That certainly looks like a possibility now.
"We'll just win on out and everything will be good," Meier joked.

And I believe at one point Julian Wright was throwing the ball around. Just in case.
Meier got the nod as the starter and played the majority of the game, although Reesing was called on about once a quarter to lead a drive. Reesing had more luck playing "Where's Cy?" on the video board than he did guessing when he would be needed.
"I totally didn't know what was going on," he said. "When they told me to go in, I got ready and went in."
Attempts to get a glimpse into Mangino's mind were again unsuccessful. After the game he reiterated his no-talking-about-quarterbacks stance.
From watching the game and talking with everyone involved, this much has become clear: It's Meier's team and Meier's job, but because the Reesing's redshirt has been pulled, he's going to be used occasionally to try to keep him happy.
The two quarterbacks are also beginning to see that there won't be enough playing time to satisfy both of them, and they're going to have to beat out the other player for
the job.
"It's the coach's decision," Meier said. "But, yeah, when he gets thrown in there, it kind of hurts inside."
Perhaps the most intriguing part of the whole story is that they're both freshmen. If Meier and Reesing stay healthy, that's three more years of quarterback battles at Kansas.
Mangino won't say it, but that's the best possible situation for him. He's gone through 11 quarterbacks in his five years at Kansas, and now all of a sudden he has two top-caliber signal callers sitting on his bench at the same time.
it's going to take a tremendous coaching job to balance the playing time — and the egos — but if Mangino can do it, he may have the best quarterback situation in the Big 12 for the next few years.
If nothing else, it should make pregame warm-ups a little more exciting.

Kansas coach Mark Mangino gets a second straight victory against Iowa State. The Jayhawks defeated the Cyclones 41-10.
"We didn't blitz a lot, but we blitzed when we needed to and we kept them guessing."
— Paul Como, senior defensive end
What was once a sure-thing loss to Missouri on Thanksgiving weekend may have turned into an entertaining game, now that the Jayhawks have won on the road and the Tigers have fallen. Do things look up for the Jayhawks, or will it still be a down day in Columbia?
Finally, after struggling through this middle stretch of the season, the Jayhawks finally have some thing to be unbound about. After building the momentum the players and coaches can look forward to playing their two biggest rivals in the next two games, they are looking up for the Jayhawks.
Despite Kansas' unimpressive history in conference road games, Mark Manginos team could leave Columbia with a victory. Missouri is missing its host defensive player (Brian Smith) because of injury and has looked very beatable recently. Granted, there is no sure thing for this Kansas team but the unpredictable nature of the border war could play into the Jayhawks hands and result in an upset.
Asher Fusco
Unless the Tigers are kitted up on triptophan from their Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner like Jayhawks won't be pleased when they leave Columba. Thouh the Jayhawks have been win and lost and the Tigers have been losing, Missouri has too much talent for Kyle Mitchell to expect one away with a victory. The game will be more exciting than it seemed if it could be three weeks ago, but it will still out with a Missouri victory.
Jonathan Keeling
Gary Pinkel has been by design Mark Manginos Jayhawks since four years ago when the Jayhawks had their worst team of season of memory. Even then the Missouri players helped them down their own against after being pinged two wins by Jayhawks. With the Kliff brothers checking and the Avil Pitts an defensive cohesive brooding threw on season the Jayhawks want to go the game.

The Buffaloes have won sx games in a row and upset the Aggies in the Big 12 Tournament Friday. The Texas Longhorns then
beat the Buffaloes Sunday in double overtime, making five of six free kicks.
All four of the jayhawks losses in conference play have come against those teams, making Kansas the fifth best team in the conference. Last year, five teams from the Big 12 were selected. Should the selection committee pick five teams from the conference this season, the jayhawks are sure to get in.
Francis, however, said he still didn't like his team's chances.
"After last year, I don't have a whole lot of faith with the process, so I don't want to be disappointed," he said. "But if we're in, I'll text the players and get them ready for practice."

Nebraska defeats Missouri takes control of Big 12 North
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
BY ERIC OLSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
LINCOLN, Neb. — Zac Taylor better watch out. Maurice Purify says he's coming after his job
"It might happen," a smiling Purify said after Nebraska's 34-20 victory against Missouri on Saturday. "My QB rating is better than his."
Purify threw a 28-yard TD pass to Terrence Nunn on his first career attempt and then caught a scoring pass from Taylor as the Cornhuskers bolted to leads of 17-0 and 27-6.
"it's a big win for our program",
Nebraska coach Bill Callahan said.
"I'm so happy for our kids. They've worked hard, they've practiced hard.
I knew we were on the verge of doing
the victory came after two straight losses, including last week's 41-29 defeat at Oklahoma State after the Huskers squandered a 16-0 lead.
Despite some anxious moments in the fourth quarter, Nebraska (7-3, 4-2) beat Missouri (6-3, 3-3) for the 15th straight time in Lincoln. The Huskers took sole possession of first place in the Big 12 North and can clinch a berth in the conference championship game with a win over either Texas A&M next weekend or Colorado on Nov. 24.
some good things. Unfortunately, we didn't get that accomplished down in Stillwater. But we still believe in these kids and they believe in what we're trying to get across. That was reflected today on the field."
The Tigers had won six straight for their best start since 1963 but now have lost three of their last four.
"If they want to say we're the same old Missouri, let them say it," quarterback Chase Daniel said. "We know that we're a different team, and we can still have a great season. It can't all come at once. Sometimes it comes in baby steps."
Callahan, as he's done from time to time this season, dabbled in trickery to complement the hard running of Brandon Jackson. Besides picking up 111 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries, Jackson caught three screen passes for 61 yards.
The Huskers ran back-to-back reverses to score their first touchdown. Nunn picked up 18 yards on an end-around before Purify took a reverse handoff and lofted a perfect strike to Nunn in the back of the end zone.
Purify said the Huskers had been practicing his pass play for three weeks.
"I knew it was coming when we came out and ran that first reverse," he said. "I felt like I threw it out of bounds. T. Nunn made a great play, and it was a better catch than pass."
It was the third time a non-quarterback had thrown a touchdown pass this season.
I-back Marlon Lucky threw one to Nate Swift on a reverse against Texas.
Holder jake Wesch threw one to tight end Hunter Teafiller on a fake field goal against Kansas State.
then there was Dan Titchener's first-down pass to Todd Peterson on a fake punt against Southern California.
"Everybody's trying to take my job," Taylor said, laughing.
Taylor has no need to worry. He threw touchdown passes of 7 yards to Purify and 17 yards to Teafatiller to run his season total to 20. That matches the 30-year-old school record set by Vince Ferragamo. Taylor was 13-of-21 for 208 yards.
Daniel was 20-for-38 and 244 yards. He now has 2,531 yards in 10 games, breaking the single-season yardage record set by Jeff Handy in 1992.
GILES (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Bender said she hopes the experience has changed Giles, but she has still not seen or heard from him since his suspension and didn't anticipate being contacted by him in the future.
"He might," she said. "But I also thought that he would have in the past year and a half, and he hasn't."
Bender said she has received a

child support payment for October from Giles, but has not received the November payment.
"I just knew it would happen," she said.
Last season Giles started 13 games and averaged 6.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. Entering this
season, he was a candidate to start at center for the layhawks. Now, he will not have the opportunity until the Winston-Salem State game at the earliest.

PAUL DAVIS A STRONG VOICE FOR KU AND HIGHER EDUCATION
- received a 98% rating for his support of Kansas universities by Citizens for Higher Education
- fought efforts to restrict the academic freedom of KU faculty members
- supports funding higher education properly so that there will be no further tuition increases for KU students
- co-authored a plan that would increase funding for KU and other universities so that the promises of the 1999 Higher Education Reorganization Act are met allocated for an overdue pay increase for KU faculty and staff
- advocated for all overdue pay matters of KU faculty members
- fought efforts to restrict the academic freedom of KU faculty members
In 1980 The University of Georgia accepted the Florida Universities as a ACE in exchange for allowing community colleges into the Regents system. KU and other state universities were promised increased funding to bring faculty salaries up to peer levels. Unfortunately, the Legislature hasn't lived up to its promise. State Representative Paul Davis has been working hard in Topeka to change this. Paul worked with Governor Kathleen Sebelius and legislative leaders to obtain millions of dollars in new funding for Kansas universities. Let's send Paul back to Topeka on November 7th to keep fighting for us!

Kansas out-swims, outscores Northern Iowa
Women prepare for Big 12, NCAA meets
BY DANIEL C. WEIXELDORFER
In front of a large crimson-and blue-painted crowd, the Kansas swimming and diving team performed to near perfection.
Bri Brotherson. Coffeville, Texas, senior, swims in the individual medley against Northern Iowa's Ally Green Friday in Robinson Center. Brotherson finished second with a time of 2:10.87.
The team dominated Northern Iowa as Kansas' swimmers placed first, second and third in six of the first eight events on Friday. The second session took place on Saturday, and was much of the same as Kansas won the dual 99-49.
Junior Lauren Bonfe recorded first-place finishes in the 100- and 50-yard backstroke. Bonfe finished second in the 200-yard backstroke to senior captain Jenny Short, who swam a personal best in the event. As a team, the Jayhawks handled
the Panthers in impressive fashion.

"Home meets are great, and since we do not have many, we wanted to take advantage of it," coach Clark Campbell said. "We built on the energy given by the crowd, and I
The two-day meet that took place at Robinson Center was held to prepare the Jayhawks for their remaining schedule. The team will travel to College Park, Md. on Nov. 16. The Maryland Invite, which will be held in a similar style as this past weekend's meet, will be an all-day championship meet.
"It was important to get our best times in the meet as that will seed us higher for the Maryland Invite," senior captain jenny Short said. "Swinming like we did this week was great for our future and also for our immediate confidence and momentum."
The team rebounded against the Northern Iowa Panthers after losing to Missouri last week in its

think we did a good job of that. Our pool gives us a home-field advantage and also gives our girls a chance to swim up front of their family and peers."
JENNY SHORT Senior captain
A Missouri, we were in pretty good position and swam well.
They were really prepared, but our championships are in February, not against Missouri." Short said. "We are just trying to get better and swim our best come championship time.
Despite all that, it was important for us to get a win, especially for our young girls."
The majority of the 2007 schedule for the Jayhawks is held at the Big 12 and NCAA Championships.
The team will also swim against other Big 12 foes such as Nebraska and Iowa State before the end of the regular season, however the team remains focused on peaking later.
Campbell said. "I know how important it was to beat Missouri, but as a team, we were focused on controlling ourselves."

ELECTION 2006:
Decide for yourself
Clinics accuse Phill Kline of leaking medical files
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Two abortion clinics are requesting their patients' medical records be returned to a special prosecutor and that an investigation of Attorney General Phil Kline and talk show host Bill O'Reilly be started.
The request came after O'Reilly said on his show Friday that he had an "inside source" who provided information from the abortion records. Kline, a Republican who is up for reelection today, was a guest on Friday's "The O'Reilly Factor."
Ron Keefover, communications director for the Kansas Supreme Court, said the clinics filed a motion for an emergency order to stop the inquisition into the records used by the Shawnee County District Court. The two clinics are Women's Health Care Services, of Wichita, and a clinic in Overland Park operated by Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.
Kline has five days to respond to the allegations before the court can make a decision, Keefover said.
On Monday night, O'Reilly followed up his Friday show with an interview with Megan Mosak, a talk radio host for 500 WIBW-AM in Topeka. Mosak spoke about George Tiller, the medical director of the Wichita clinic who fought the release of records and is a subject of Kline's investigation. She said Tiller was the financier of the campaign mails circulating across Kansas, some of which said Kline was a "snoop dog."
Kline said he requested the records two years ago so he could investigate child rapists, those who failed to report child abuse and doctors performing late-term abortions.
Tiller sattorney, Pedro Irigonegaray of Topeka, said Kline indicated he was O'Reilly's source when he engaged in a public exposé of the records and
failed, as a state official, to ask O'Reilly where he got the information.
Kline said he did not know what information O'Reilly had or where he got it. When asked if it came from someone within his office, he said "absolutely not."
On the show, O'Reilly said he received information from an inside source who gave him information that Tiller performed late-term abortions because "patients were depressed," which O'Reilly called "executing babies." He did not say whether his information came from the 90 records Kline obtained or if his staff had seen the documents themselves.
Late-term abortions are allowed if having the baby will affect the mother's mental or physical health.
Irigonegaray said the law allowed decisions to be made about late-term abortions and questioned O'Reilly's intentions through probing the topics.
"I suggest he was taking advantage of patients because he knew his comments would strike a cord with those opposed to abortion," he said.
Irigonegaray also said he feared "Mr Kline has placed his political life ahead of the constitutional right of the people of Kansas."
Sherrine Jones, a spokeswoman for Klein, questioned whether the Supreme Court was the proper place for the clinic's request. She said because the Supreme Court was an appellate court, it had no jurisdiction in this case. Keefover of the Supreme Court said it was the court's discretion whether to hear the case.
The filed lawsuit and controversy occurred one day before an election showdown between Kline and Democratic challenger Paul Morrison.

Ben Folds performs one of his songs at the opening of his set last night at the Lied Center following a humorous opening by Corn Mo. Tickets for the show sold out in less than 36 hours, but several seats remained empty even after Folds took the stage from the opening act.

ROCKIN' THE LIED CENTER
Ben Folds showcases mix of styles
BY MATT ELDER
Brendan Bondurant feels like Ben Folds owes him something.
Bondurant stood outside City Market in Kansas City, Mo., for the entirety of Folds' set. It was pouring down rain. That was two summers ago.
"It it was miserably cold for August with the rain," said Bondurant, Olathe sophomore. "I was excited today because I wouldn't have to be getting drenched."
Last night, in front of a sold-out auditorium. Folds repaid his debt to Bondurant and entertained a packed auditorium at the University's Lied Center.
With Folds', unmistakable tenor vocals and piano melodies ringing throughout the auditorium, it's easy to see why Bondurant calls Folds his favorite pop-music piano player.
Folds took the stage with his typical trio lineup, alongside the addition of a "new and red" keyboard.
piano." Folds told the auditorium, "capable of making you lose your bowels."
"It's more scientific than a
While the evening was proof of Folds' musical evolution since his years as the front man for the group Ben Folds Five, he showed that trading his comical wit for more heartfelt melodies isn't always a given when he performs live. Regardless, it was a mixture of styles that students found to be worth seeing and hearing and the audience in the first level showed its approval by standing for the entire show.
"The group was a lot more energetic and on the rocking side," Bondurant said. "His
solo stuff is a lot more technical instead."
Folds' live show was more reminiscent of material from a decade ago, rather than his recent releases, which are filled with slower tempos. While his new material has ditched much of the youthful banter of Ben Folds Five, he managed to keep both his comical flair and musical skills as a middle-aged musician Monday night.
The live music committee of Student Union Activities sponsored the event and was responsible for Folds' visit to Lawrence. The organization began planning the show in spring 2005, and
didn't finalize the show date until this past fall.
"It took some time going back and forth with his management to kind of get the ball rolling" said Tanner Burns, SUA live music coordinator. "But were excited about the buzz it has created throughout campus."
Burns said that tickets for the show sold out in less than 36 hours. He said Folds was the biggest name the organization had brought to the University in the past three years.
Christy Fogleman, Olathe freshman, waited in line for four hours before getting her tickets. Because of the line's length, she had friends who skipped classes to get tickets.
Corn Mo opened for Folds Monday night, playing comical original material and covers of classic rock songs on an accordion. Among his more popular covers were "Freebird" by Lynnyd Skynyrnd and "We Are the Champions" by Queen.
Corn Mo left the stage to a standing ovation.

ELECTION 2006 Decide for yourself One-third of youths will vote, poll says
BY KIM LYNCH
EL
According to a national poll conducted by Harvard University, 32 percent of 18- to 24-year-old voters plan to vote in today's midterm election.
Of the 18- to 24-year-old voters polled, those most likely to vote were college graduates, at 45 percent, and those least likely to vote were high school students, at 29 percent.
Allan Cigler, professor of political science, said the estimated number
of young voters who planned to vote in the midterm elections struck him "as relatively high."
"Younger people don't seem to have the same stake in politics" as the older voters, Cigler said.
They don't have children in school or the same tax burdens and they have other priorities, he said.
The recent increase in youth voting in the 2004 presidential election and the probable turnout in this

Plans move forward Two architecture firms chosen for new student-funded rowing boathouse
>> ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
BY C.J. MOORE
No shovels have dug into the ground yet, but the Athletics Department took a major step last week in the construction of a boathouse for the KU rowing team.
The Athletics Department hired two architecture firms to collaborate on building the boathouse. The local firm Treanor Architects PA, 110 McDonald Drive, was hired to assist Peterson Architects, a firm from Cambridge, Mass., which specializes in building boathouses.

"We at least know that they can start helping us and we can
answer whatever questions now with an architect in place," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
X
The Athletics Department must still answer several questions before construction can begin. The city's historical commission must approve the project because the site is within 500 feet of a historical site. Marchiony said there might also be environmental issues that the department was in the process of resolving, like a bald eagle sanctuary located close to the proposed location.

Man confesses shooting murder during party game
JACKSON, Mich. — The party game asked people to name the stupidest thing they had ever done. Police say Jerry Rose answered, "Shot a guy in the head."
Now, Rose is charged with open murder and armed robbery in the March 22 slaying of 60-year-old Eddar Hawke.
Hawke's wife and 14-year-old granddaughter found his body at the bottom of the basement stairs in his Parma Township home. A large amount of cash and a .22-caliber rifle were missing, The Jackson Citizen Patriot reported Saturday.
Police were making little headway in their investigation until officers in neighboring Calhoun County questioned Rose's girlfriend about a series of break-ins. She told them about Rose's confession during a summer party, and they gave the information to Jackson County sheriff's detectives.
Rose, 29, was arrested Wednesday at his mother's home. He was arraigned Friday and was being held without bond pending a preliminary hearing Nov. 15.
New York law typo leads to low blood-alcohol limit
ALBANY, N.Y. — Drinking a shot of beer in New York could get you arrested for drunken driving. At least that's the way the state law reads.
Lawmakers this year approved a bill that sets the standard for driving while intoxicated at 0.18 grams of alcohol in a person's blood.
Instead of using grams, the law should have used blood-alcohol content as a measure.
A person's body might produce
"It was a typo," said Assemblyman David Gantt, who heads the transportation committee that approved the bill before it went to the Legislature. "If you go through our laws, mistakes are made all the time. We're human beings."
The purpose of the law is to set a level — 0.18 percent blood-alcohol content — that bans prosecutors from taking pleas to a lesser count of driving while impaired, similar to a traffic ticket. The law also would increase the penalties for a 0.18 blood-alcohol content.
that much alcohol naturally, said Ed Fiandach, a DWI lawyer in Rochester.
The law was supposed to go into effect last week. But prosecutors won't be able to enforce it until legislators fix the typo, said Kristin Splain, who heads the DWI bureau in the Monroe County District Attorney's Office.
Gov. George Pataki signed the bill into law in September. Fianchad said he was told by Pataki's office the governor was aware of the error but figured the Legislature would correct it with an amendment.
The Legislature could return in a special session this year to resolve the typo, or the law could be amended next year, Gantt said.
MIDDLESBORO, Ky. — Pearlie Sutton didn't know what to what to make of a letter from the Social Security Administration informing

Sutton, 81, received the unopened letter last week, even though it was dated 1997.

TOKYO — Are the chefs slicing the raw tuna correctly? Is the rice sticky enough? Is that paprika in your sushi roll?
Tokyo is launching a campaign to crack down on restaurants abroad that bill themselves as authentic Japanese — but fall short of culinary standards at home.
"It has been so many years since I received Social Security," she said. "I was surprised and shocked that it had been so many years in getting the letter."
A panel of food experts was appointed Thursday to discuss a certification system that would presumably certify restaurants that serve dishes served in the true Japanese tradition.
The letter informed Sutton there had been a mistake in the amount of Social Security she should be receiving and that some would be deducted for a year until the overage was repaid.
Though short on specifics, the system would promote "authentic Japanese culinary culture" abroad, according to the Agriculture Ministry.
Sutton said she's unsure how or when the SSA will respond to her inquiries about the letter, given that it set a 60-day limit to object to the withholdings.
Japan plans restauran certification program
"There are many restaurants overseas that call themselves Japanese, yet use culinary techniques and ingredients far removed from those of authentic Japanese food," said a ministry statement.
It's not just Japanese traditionalists who want to weed out the fakes.The system will also promote Japanese agricultural exports and help Japanese food companies sell their products overseas, the ministry said.
man purchases old missile base in Missouri
It wasn't clear when the new system would kick off.
PLEASANT HILL, Mo. — When Gary Pipes bought a decommissioned missile base site near Pleasant Hill, he wasn't thinking about what the 15 acres used to represent — the Cold War, nuclear missiles and international unrest.
He was thinking about making money.
Pipes isn't sure yet what he'll get for the decommissioned missile base he bought in October for less than $200,000. The land includes three enormous underground bunkers, where Nike defense missiles once were poised for launching at a moment's notice.
Such Cold War relics are found across the country, and are now being used in myriad ways, for homes, scuba diving and schools.
"There are a lot of dreamers out there," said Ed Peden, who lives underground in a converted Atlas missile silo near Topeka. "And these are very unique opportunities."
Peden makes a living finding missile bases and similar structures throughout the country, then marketing and selling them.

CAMPUS Tool to help premature babies learn to eat
A motorized pacifier may be available by 2008 to help premature babies learn the basics of feeding themselves.
KC BioMediX, a Kansas startup company, has purchased the licensing on two medical devices that will help the newborns learn how to suck, which is important to developing motor skills.
The tools were developed by Steven Barlow, a University of Kansas researcher, and Don Finan of the University of Colorado.
KC BioMediX is the first medical device company spinoff from Kansas'Lawrence campus, according to university officials.
"It is hopefully the first of many,"said James Baxendale, Kansas' director of technology transfer and intellectual property
The devices are an Actifier, a diagnostic tool that tests a baby's ability to suck, and NTrainer, a pacifier-type instrument that is attached to computer-controlled sensors and a special motor. The device delivers vibrations that mimic the pattern of sucking.
"Those cues help the brain establish timing," said Barlow, a professor of speech-language hearing, neuroscience and human biology.
Michael Litscher, a co-founder of KC BioMedIX, said the company is developing prototypes of the two devices and hopes to begin selling the system, which will cost $125,000 each, in 2008.
Premature babies often are connected to oxygen and feeding tubes or fed intravenously. When the tubes are removed, they can struggle to learn how to feed on their own.

Panhellenic elects eight new officers
BY MATT ELDER
Panhellenic delegates representing the association's 13 sororities came to a unanimous decision to approve new members to its executive board Sunday evening.
Eight women were chosen after more than six hours of interviews and reviewing applications.
New this year, the group changed its bylaws in October to allow multiple officers from the same chapter. For the past three years the association had ignored it own rule that said there could be only one delegate from each chapter.
"It was getting ridiculous; we had this rule we weren't following," said Jamie Hollenberg, St. Louis senior and current Panhellenic president. "It's new in the sense that it's legitimate. We had just made the exception because we really wanted some outstanding girls."
The new bylaws that limit the association to electing two delegates from the same chapter came about to represent the greater community.
Two women were chosen this year from both Kappa Alpha Theta and Gamma Phi Beta.
This year the association also pre-approved eight candidates and created a nomination slate for the election process. The complete list was then presented to the 13 delegates. Although the pre-approval process was time consuming, Hollenberg said, the use of a slate showed its success with the unanimous vote.
"This means that the slating processes worked the way it was supposed to." Hollenberg said. "We didn't have to go through and vote one by one instead."
Erin Gregory, Leawood junior and president-elect, said the largest goal for the 2006-2007 board would be to create a greater unity among Panhellenic, the Interfraternity Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council. In addition, Gregory said she wanted to promote
greater integration with the nongreek University population and to have Panhellenic treated less like a separate entity.
Hollenberg said the association also planned to carry out a "greek week" by spring 2008 to promote interaction between chapters and service within the community. Emphasis was also placed on maintaining and improving current programs sponsored by the association.
The new board will take office Nov. 16 during a formal ceremony.

Institute to study disabilities
RESEARCH
$3.25 million grant lets program examine environmental effects
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Some people with disabilities struggle to find their way in society, but now a group of KU researchers is looking for a way to help them.
Last week, the National Institute on Disability Rehabilitation and Research gave $3.25 million to the Research and Training Center on Independent Living and Research, a division of the University of Kansas Institute for Lifespan Studies.
Karen Henry, communications coordinator for the Lifespan Studies institute, said the money would be spent on a five-year study to examine the environment surrounding disabled
people and how it affected them. "With all the laws that have been passed to try to level the playing field for people with disabilities, we still have people who are unable to work and — in a broader sense — participate in society," Henry said.
She said the study would determine why those problems existed.
"That could be anything: laws not being enforced or physical barriers." Henry said.
Martha Hodgesmith, associate director of the Research and Training Center, said the six specific research projects that made up the study would look at areas like transportation, health care and personal assistance.
In general, she said the study would focus on those environmental factors and their effects on the individual.
"We want to have a system of measurement that looks at what the person needs and what parts in the environment can be a barrier or a facilitator to those needs," Hodgesmith said.
Researchers from Washington University, the University of Montana, Cornell University and the Oregon Health Sciences University will also participate in the study. Hodgesmith said that all of the participants had researched disabilities and that the University's program would be a chance to col-
aborate and compare findings.
"We're really taking that research to the next level." Hodgesmith said.
Hodgesmith, said she hoped the studies would produce information to eventually lead to the creation of new policies to help disabled people better interact with society.
"If you have data, when you seek advocacy to make the law better or make different laws, that kind of data is effective in convincing policy makers," Hodgesmith said.

Floating museum marooned in muddy river
BY PAT MILTON ASSOCIATED PRESS
一
NEW YORK - The USS Intrepid, the aircraft carrier that survived World War II bomb and kamikaze attacks, got stuck in the mud in the Hudson River on Monday as a fleet of tugboats tried to pull it from its berth for a $60 million renovation project.
The ship — a huge floating military museum that draws hundreds of thousands of tourists a year — was supposed to be towed across the river to a dry dock in Bavonne, N.J.
Six tugs pulled with a combined 30,000 horsepower but moved the Intrepid only about 15 feet. Not even an unusually high tide could free the 27,000-ton, 872-foot-long
ship from the ooze.
"We had the sun, the moon and the stars in alignment, and it was just a very disappointing day for us," said Bill White, president of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
White said he was unsure whether officials would try again to move the ship, or refurbish the carrier where it sits. The ship was not blocking the Hudson's busy shipping lanes.
Seth Wenig/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The next high tide is Dec. 6, but that will be about a foot lower than Monday's, White said.
The Intrepid has been moored at a pier on Manhattan's West Side for 24 years, during which time silt accumulated as much as 17 feet deep around its keel. The decommissioned ship no longer has

YOUTH (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
midterm election could be due to candidates and their parties targeting the youth more, Cigler said. Marc Langston, Wichita junior and president of KU Young Democrats, said he "absolutely" thought more youth would vote in this election because the Democrats had the chance to retake both houses of Congress.
This election is important because "the president's power can be severely limited, or he is going to get a lot more power," he said.
The Harvard poll of 2,546 people, which was conducted from Oct. 4 to Oct. 16, found 68 percent of 18- to 24-year-old voters disapproved of the job President Bush was doing.
Elizabeth Roybal, Wichita senior and vice-chair of KU College Republicans, said that it would only be possible after the election to know whether the youth vote was the deciding factor in close races.
"If our age group does become the deciding factor, there will be more politicians listening to what we have to say," she said.
"I believe that issues that are being discussed in this election, 18- to 24-year-old voters see as directly affecting their lives," Roybal said.
Royalal said that many young voters knew someone who was fighting in Iraq and it could be one of the main reasons voters headed to the voting booth today.
"I think so many of these races are too close to call," Roybal said. She said she thought the control of Congress could go either way.
Mark Joslyn, associate professor of political science, said he thought the 32 percent figure quoted by the Harvard poll seemed high. He said it was important to remember that some people would report in polls that they planned to vote but then wouldn't vote.
For the first time, Harvard's Institute of Politics conducted the poll entirely online.
"I think this is inflated" he said of the 32 percent figure and estimated that "20 to 25 percent, max" of 18- to 24-year-old voters would vote today.
Joslyn said he did not know how the institute ensured it was a representative sample.

ELECTION 2006
Final day frantic for Ryun,Boyda
JOHN MILBURN ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — Jim Ryun and his family spent Monday's cold, drizzly morning at a busy intersection hoping to reach voters on their way to work or school.
Motorists honked and the congressman and his family waved enthusiastically. It was a sign of how tight the five-term Republican congressman's race with Democratic challenger Nancy Boyda was with the election a day away.
Ryun beat Boyda two years ago by 15 percent, but a wave of partisan angst has Democrats confident they can knock off Ryun and many others to regain control of the House.
The night before, Ryun and 7,000 other Republicans were re-energized by President Bush at a rally in Topeka. Bush spent 40 minutes saying why Congress needed to stay Republican, why the war in Iraq was important and why tax cuts passed early in his administration were helping the economy and families.
Boyda is winding down a frenetic campaign and remains optimistic.
"All I want to do is win by 50 percent plus one vote. That all I can ask for," Boyda said. "At this point, I'm not sure there's much more that can be done."
Democrats attending a Boyda rally Sunday at the Statehouse seemed confident she could pull off an upset that months ago seemed a pipe dream. They say the time has come to send Ryun home and make Congress more than a mouthpiece for the administration.
Boyda's campaign has found favor with Democrats not wanting her to be beholden to the national party.

Marchiony didn't provide a timetable for when construction would begin or finish, but he said the department maintained that construction of the boathouse would begin by spring 2009.
"That's what our hope is," Marchiony said. "If it isn't finished, our intention is that it will be well on its way so that won't be an issue."
Athletics Director Lew Perkins promised KU students last spring that construction would begin within three years or he would refund all money for the project that had come from students' pockets.
Of the increase, $15 will go toward construction of the boathouse.
Jeff Peterson, principal of Peterson Architects, said the Athletics Department officials made it clear to him when his firm was hired last week that they would like to move quickly.
BOATHOUSE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Peterson said he didn't foresee the three-year promise to be a problem.
"What we are looking at for KU is a phased program," Peterson said. "There'll be an initial phase where probably boat storage, locker rooms and showers will be built and then there may be some additional work in the future that may have training facilities like a rowing tank."
geted $4 to $6 million for its boathouse and Peterson said when all the phases were finished, he anticipated the University's boathouse would be slightly larger than what was built for Tufts.
He said the athletics department had met with the city and would continue to do so.
Students voted last April for a $20 fee increase, which began this semester, for women's and non-revenue sports.
"That's realistic assuming that there's no issues with permitting, things that are not within the University's control," he said. "And
I don't think that there will be, to the degree that it would prevent that from happening."
He said he envisioned building a boathouse similar in stature to a 9,000 square-foot boathouse his firm built for Tufts University in Medford, Mass.
Peterson has been to Lawrence to survey the land where the boathouse is expected to be built. It is currently the location of the "cage", which houses the rowing team's equipment.
Peterson has planned or helped construct boathouses at Princeton, Boston University, Wisconsin, Tufts University and Clemson. The boathouse at Tufts cost slightly more than $2 million. Kansas has bud-

Fire crews work to extinguish the smoldering blaze at Gatorland, one of central Florida's oldest attractions, Monday in Orlando. Fla.

The park opened in 1949 and attracts about 400,000 tourists each year. It features people wrestling gators, a "jumparoo" show where the big reptiles leap for food, and up-close encounters where guests can hold snakes, scorpions, spiders and birds. Gatorland has a few thousand animals, Williams estimated.
The blaze, reported at 5:55 a.m., badly damaged the gift shop, entrance and ticket booth.

Despite sour climate, voting still a civic duty
There isn't much excitement about voting these days. Gone are the days of marches and protests aimed at securing the right to vote for all. The primal excitement of having a direct say in government is largely a thing of the past. Instead, we have growing disillusionment among young voters, more influence placed on donations than votes, and new voting machines based on suspect technology and advocated by transparent partisans.
So why vote? Can anyone really argue that the act of checking a box has the same degree of influence as a mammoth contribution from Altria, Exxon or Wal-Mart? Will one voter's voice speak as loudly as a lobbyist's? Does one person's opinion on a piece of pending legislation matter as much as the opinion of a pollster or special interest group? Probably not. The oligopoly that is our federal government has long since lost much of its touch with the common people. Why not abandon the simple act of voting?
Because too many people have given too much to ensure that right for you. Look around at the nations ideologically opposed to us. Does a North Korean citizen have any level of influence in that regime? Does a reformer in Iran have any hope of enacting serious change in that theocracy? For many, voting in a republican democracy remains a fanciful dream, a milestone that has never been within reach.
If you consciously opt out of voting today, please do not think yourself entitled to criticize the actions of government in the near future, for you have abandoned your chance to have a say in those actions. You had a chance to affect those proceedings, however meager that effect may be, and you chose to ignore that chance. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but do not engage in retrospective lamentations later if you pass up your chance to make a difference today.
Voting is not merely a civic duty; it is a way of affirming the debt of gratitude we owe to those who have come before us. When the founders crafted a new government in 1787, they deliberately created a structure in opposition to the monarchy of the past. They made a system that depends on the active engagement of its citizens — hence "participatory democracy." To ignore the duty of voting would be to ignore the grand tradition laid forth by the founders, defended by generations of honorable veterans, and perpetuated by our commitment to liberty and freedom.

Make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.
The Republicans' best weapon in the midterm elections GRS'06
Grant Snider/KANSAN
COMMENTARY
Kerry's remarks hurt Democrats' chances
"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
Practically the instant these words left the mouth of could-have-been-president John Kerry as he spoke to a group of California college students last week, Republicans screamed in outrage. Fellow Democrats distanced themselves from Kerry like he was a tax cut for the rich. And a clever group of soldiers made a sign reading "Halp us Jon Carry — We R stuck hear N Irak." John Kerry went from has been to hated as fast as the quote could speed across the information superhighway.
Meanwhile, the wheels of the political spin machines began turning. Kerry's camp claimed he had intended to say that if you're "intellectually lazy," you "end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq." Apparently, it was meant to be a slur on Bush's mental and tactical shortcomings, not at all directed at America's troops. Republicans could barely contain their saliva while demanding an apology, drooling
over the obvious political ramifications for the approaching mid-term elections.
Despite the "botched joke" explanation given by Kerry and his minions, it is unlikely that what he said was not what he meant. Directing the comment toward Bush would be a slight insult to himself, given that they both hold degrees from the same university. So does his comment have any merit? Were your former classmates who enlisted after high school not "making an effort to be smart?" Let's consider troop demographics.
"Given the nature of the military rank structure, most enlisted recruits do not have a college education or degree," states a study from the Heritage Foundation. The percentage of recruits with a college education is lower than that of the general population, and those who have experienced the joys of higher education tend to be commissioned officers. This information is from a conservative think tank with the audacity to feature a quote from Rush Limbaugh on its home page.
College graduates, with the exception of gung-ho ROTC students, are certainly not forming a
single-file line to enlist. The prospect of fighting in Iraq may not be as appealing as a well-paying job, or even a mediocre-paying job. However, members of our military are by no means intellectually deficient, and nearly all have a high school diploma. While they may be lacking in credit hours earned, they have countless hours of training and a well-developed sense of dedication to our country. Whether the decision that got them "stuck in Iraq" was boneheaded or not, the troops themselves are not mentally inferior.
Kerry's apology for his statement came too late, giving the Republicans even more ammunition. The Democrats, with an easy shot to upset Republicans in the mid-term elections, have bricked a lay-up, forcing overtime. What will the final outcome be? Stay tuned. John Kerry will have to sit on the bench in the final minutes. Though his other teammates may refuse him high fives, Howard Dean may be able to offer some consolation.

COMMENTARY
Phone numbers of all incoming calls are recorded.
The Web site I'm looking at offers a plethora of U.S. midterm election information. Poll shows who is ahead in the various "hot" races. Pundits dissect the meaning of ads and note who gave money to whom. Hundreds of write-in comments show support for one party or another. This in-depth election
Beyond the obvious point
— Americans should learn that not everything revolves around them
— is the possibility that by making informed decisions today, we may prove to our international friends that, despite all appearances, we know what we're doing. Sort of.
Many Americans, including myself, scoff at being considered ignorant of global affairs. Then my U.S. foreign policy lecturer tells us in class that when Prime Minister John Major visited the States, most Americans assumed that Margaret Thatcher was still in charge. I think, yeah, there's a point there. My lecturer follows by reminding us that when President Bill Clinton first committed troops to Kosovo, he went on national television with a map to show Americans where the hell Kosovo was. I shrink down into my seat and blush.
FREE FOR ALL
Should I be freaked out that my physics teacher keeps telling me to "massage the data?"
I've never seen British or French or Japanese election coverage this extensive in American media, yet a major foreign
outlet is falling all over itself to provide information and predictions regarding the elections of another country. We might learn a thing or two from outlets such as the BBC.
Most British (and probably French and German) citizens following our elections through the BBG and other international coverage know all about the stem cell ads, the stump campaigning and Mark Foley's e-mail habits. They know as well as anyone following an American outlet's coverage exactly which candidates have conducted themselves in a positive or not-so-positive manner. They'll see who we elect today, and they'll note which voters fell for that off-color television spot, which voters voted not so much for a party as against another and which voters decided just to stay home (which is, for midterms on average, a shade less than 60 percent of registered voters, according to the Census Bureau).
report comes courtesy not of The New York Times or CNN, but from ... the BBC?
What happens today will affect not only our nation but the world. America is the only superpower left, and with this privilege comes the responsibility to vote accordingly.
I'm not naive enough to say that voter turnout is indicative of a well-oiled democracy, and I won't tell other people the standards by which they should judge a candidate
(though a candidate's race, religion and sexual orientation aren't my top priorities when punching the button). I will only say that, just like every other election year, what happens today will affect our nation's policy for at least the next two years, and may possibly determine 2008's presidential race.

Some of the coolest cats you could ever hope to meet.)
It may be easy at first to write off the opinions of the rest of the world — after all, they're not Americans, it doesn't matter in their lives. However, that's not entirely true. What America does or doesn't do affects so much more than just our country. British soldiers in Afghanistan and Basra are waiting to see if American policy changes so they might go home. North Korea and Iran's nuclear aspirations and the defense of Japan and South Korea may hinge on this election. Iraq's future, the infamous Darfur genocide, Mexican immigration, economic competition in India and China, Europe's willingness to deploy troops ... all of it can and probably will receive attention from our Congress after today.
Why do kilts always have the pocket in the front?
Most of us feel comforted by the fact that America is the only superpower left; the beacon of freedom and democracy in the world; the last great hope. With this privilege comes the responsibility to act accordingly. It means that a few million Americans hold in their hands the fates of hundreds of millions of people across the globe, whether we're saving them from genocide, providing them with economic aid or protecting them from aggression. We owe it to them and to ourselves to vote and to vote well — with conscience, compassion and consideration.

ELECTION 2006
Republicans could lose U.S. House
WASHINGTON — A half-dozen Republican congressmen ushered into office in the 1994 GOP tidal wave that tossed Democrats from power may be swept out on Tuesday, casualties of a Democratic surge fueled by anger over the Iraq war.
On the eve of the midterm elections, Republicans are hoping their acclaimed get-out-the-vote operation will ensure majority control. But some say privately they have a slim chance of retaining the House after a campaign centered on turmoil in Iraq, President Bush's sagging approval numbers, political scandals and corruption investigations.
"It all gets down to Republicans turning out the vote," said Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., chairman of the House GOP's election effort.
Sidedel for 12 years, Democrats appear poised to win the House in a shift that likely would elevate Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California to speaker, the nation's first woman to hold that office, and herald in at least two years of Democratic rule.
At least 50 Republican seats are endangered, many with incumbents facing fierce challenges from Democrats who have sought to capitalize on the public's intense disenchantment with one-party rule.
In the minority, Democrats need to gain 15 seats to seize control of the House.
On the defensive, Republicans have spent months trying to beat back well-funded Democratic opponents in districts stretching from New Hampshire to California. In the campaign's homestretch, Democrats have widened the battlefield by going after Republicans in states that historically have been solid GOP territory, including Idaho and Kansas.
ELECTION 2006
Democrats poised to take over Senate
TOM RAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The fate of a clutch of endangered Republican incumbents, including some from states that heavily supported President Bush two years ago, will determine who controls the Senate for the rest of the Bush presidency. Both parties are spending millions of dollars in last-ditch efforts to influence those contests.
By contrast, few Democratic incumbents are in danger this year. Nearly every Democratic senator seeking re-election seems assured of another term, polls suggest.
Not so with Republicans.
Facing difficult re-election battles are Republican Sens. Conrad Burns of Montana, George Allen of Virginia, Mike DeWine of Ohio, Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, Jim Talent of Missouri and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island.
Furthermore, Republicans face a strong challenge in Tennessee for the now-GOP seat held by retiring
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.
Democrats also were hopeful for a victory over Arizona Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, where polls have shown a tightening contest in recent days between the incumbent and former state Democratic Party chairman Jim Pederson, a shopping mall developer.
Democrats need a gain of six seats to win back the Senate, which they last controlled in 2002. Republicans now control 55 seats in the 100-member chamber.
Republicans are facing headwinds that include an increasingly unpopular war in Iraq, a president with low approval ratings, voter disgust over a slew of congressional scandals and the historic pattern of midterm losses in the sixth year for the party holding the White House
"The political environment has been very tough for Republicans for many, many months," acknowledged Sen. Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, who heads the Senate Republican campaign effort. "No question about it."

Politicians try to get voters out at last minute
ELECTION 2006
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Republicans and Democrats pushed their get-out-the-vote efforts to full throttle and political luminaries hopscotched the nation on behalf of candidates as some polls showed Tuesday's midterm elections tightening.
President Bush jetted to Florida Monday to campaign for GOP candidates, but Charlie Crist planned to duck a rally with Bush in Pensacola to campaign at the Lox Around the Clock restaurant in Delray Beach.
The White House was clearly irritated with the candidate's decision not to appear with the president. Bush political strategist Karl Rove mockingly questioned what kind of alternate rally Crist could put together that would rival the 10,000-person crowd Bush was expected to draw.
Former President Clinton campaigned in upstate New York on behalf of Democratic House candidates before flying to Virginia for Senate challenger Jim Webb and Rhode Island to be with Senate candidate Sheldon Whitehouse.
for voter turnout to be mediocre in off-year elections. And both parties have put together legal teams for possible challenges.
Polls showed a mixed picture of the electorate. A CNN poll released Monday said 58 percent of likely
voters would cast their ballots for Democrats running for Congress and 38 percent for Republicans. But a Pew survey and a Washington Post-ABC News poll showed the gap narrowing to four to six percentage points.

ENTERTAINMENT Singer Keys' concert to benefit African children
NEW YORK — As more celebrities get involved in helping African nations overcome debt, AIDS and poverty, some cynics have questioned whether their motives are good intentions or publicity.
Alicia Keys, who is hosting her annual Black Ball concert in New York City on Thursday, says such criticism is unfair and a disservice to those in Africa who need help.
"I think that's horrible, and I think that really degrades and tries to discourage people who do have a voice, who do have power, who do have money, who do have
the ability to reach out to people and get involved in situations," the 25-year-old R&B singer told The Associated Press in a recent interview
"I think if you make a choice to do something positive, that shouldn't be diminished. I think that takes away from what's actually going on."
Keys, who has been involved in African causes for years, said celebrities have been in the forefront of charitable and political causes, and that's how it should be. She also said celebrities have helped direct attention to the problems in many African nations.
Keys is hosting the Black Ball concert with supermodel Iman to benefit Keep a Child Alive, which
Keys, who visited Africa earlier this year, said the problems that beset some countries can seem insurmountable, but she's seen how charity can save lives.
provides drugs for AIDS and HIV patients. The event will include performances by Keys; Iman's husband, David Bowie; Damian Marley; and Angelique Kidjo.
"That's why when I speak and I use my voice, I like to emphasize the way that everyday people like you and me ... can really be a huge hero," she said. "If you don't do anything else in your life, if you can save one life — one life? It's amazing. Imagine saving 10 or 20 or 50 or 100."

Coach injured after collision on sideline STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State coach Joe
Paterno fractured a bone in his left leg and suffered ligament damage in his knee when a player ran into him during the Nittany Lions' loss to Wisconsin.
The injury to Paterno's tibia typically heals on its own with rehabilitation, director of communications for football Guido D'Elia said Sunday. But doctors and team officials were considering whether surgery would help the leg heal faster, D'Elia said.
Morry Gash/ASSOCIATED PRESS
There was no determination yet whether Paterno could return to the sidelines for Saturday's game against Temple, or monitor his team from the coach's box above the stands.

Police arrest three Tennessee players KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
— Tennessee starting
running back Arian Foster and two other players were arrested early Sunday after police were called to a fight at a nightclub.
Foster, safety Antonio Wardlow and fullback David Holbert were charged with disorderly conduct and underage consumption, police said. Wardow also was charged with public intoxication.

Golfer ends strong season with victory ATLANTA — With a trophy in hand, Adam Scott
can now call this his best year.
His most consistent season was missing only a PGA Tour victory, and Scott took care of that Sunday in the final event, closing with a 4-under 66 to capture the Tour Championship by three shots over Jim Furyk.
Scott turned the season finale into a snoozer, playing mistake-free golf at East Lake before finishing at 11-under 269.
Penn State coach Joe Paterno is taken off the field on a cart after getting hit on the sidelines during the second half of a football game against Wisconsin Saturday in Madison, Wis. The 79-year-old coach underwent surgery Sunday and was resting comfortably the next day at Mount Nittany Medical Center.

South American wins N.Y.marathon NEW YORK—A Brazilian man stunned
the favored Africans, ending their decade-long hold on the New York City Marathon.
Marilson Gomes dos Santos of Brazil made a remarkable New York debut, breaking away from the lead pack in the last quarter of the race and holding off an all-star field of challengers to become the first South American to win the race,
man or woman. Gomes finished in 2 hours, 9 minutes and 58 seconds.
Defending champion Jelena Prokopcuka of Latvia sped early and ran alone at the end, becoming the first woman in more than a decade to win two straight titles in New York. She won in 2:25:05.
Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong crossed the finish line in 2:59:36 seconds.

Texas Rangers hire new manager ARLINGTON, Texas — Ron Washington was hired as manager of the
Texas Rangers after 11 seasons as an Oakland Athletics coach, inheriting a team that last made the playoffs in 1999.
"Ron is a teacher and winner who brings a great deal of integrity to our organization." Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Monday. "He is a straightforward, energetic baseball man who we're excited to have lead the Rangers."
The Rangers planned to introduce Washington during a news conference Monday. His two-year contract includes two additional option years.
"I am very thrilled. I don't think I can find words to express it right now," Washington said by cell phone while on a plane Monday, about to fly from his native New Orleans to Texas.
Washington was chosen over four other candidates to replace Buck Showalter. The Rangers fired Showalter after an 80-82 season, their sixth losing season in seven years.
"I've always said it's going to take a GM to convince an owner that I am the guy," Washington said. "Daniels convinced Mr. Hicks and I'm very, very happy."
The 54-year-old Washington becomes the Rangers' 17th full-time manager and first black manager.

Washington also had been a candidate in Oakland to replace fired A's manager Ken Macha.

Matta's career record of 148-49 gives the coach the fifth highest number of wins in the first six years of a coach's career in NCAA history. This includes Matta's record at OSU (46-18).
The new contract voids an eighty-year contract worth $11 million negotiated last March.
The Board of Trustees approved Ohio State basketball coach Thad Matta's new nine-year contract on Friday. The new contract, worth $20 million, will be in place through the 2014-2015 season, according to a press release.
Before coaching at OSU, Matta coached at Xavier for three years and Butler, his alma mater, for one year.
"Thad Matta has an extraordinary gift," said OSU Director of Athletics Gene Smith in the release

the third quarter of Florida's 25-19 win against Vanderbilt, Gators football coach Urban Meyer confirmed rumors that had swirled through tailgating parties and Internet message boards for much of Saturday.
Defensive tackle Marcus Thomas is no longer with UF.
"Marcus did not meet his responsibilities and obligations to remain on the team," the statement read.
Defensive tackle Steven Harris, one of the closest players to Thomas, would not confirm if drugs were involved in the expulsion, but he did not deny so either.
Thomas had already been suspended a total of three games after twice testing positive for marijuana. Now, Thomas has been dismissed after failing to meet the conditions placed on him after the second suspension.

— The West Virginia University football team's performance in Thursday night's loss to Louisville was disappointing for those who expected the Mountaineers to claim a spot in the Bowl Championship Series 'national title game.
The comments of WU players after the game, however, may be an even greater cause for concern.
"Obviously our minds were somewhere else;"fullback Owen Schmitt said.
"In some ways it seemed like our focus slipped,"added safety Quinten Andrews.
Asked if he agreed with his teammates' assessment of their mindset before and during the game, cornerback Vaughn Rivers admitted the Mountaineers probably weren't as mentally prepared for the Cardinals as they should have been.
"I felt like we should have been a little more focused simply because of what was at stake." Rivers said. "I don't think we treated this game differently, but maybe that was the problem. Some people believe in treating every game the same, but we needed to put a little more toward it than we did today."

The Gators were the runaway choice Monday in The Associated Press' preseason college basketball poll — no surprise, since they have everyone back for a run at being the first repeat national champion since Duke in 1992.
"We appreciate and respect that people think this highly of our basketball team," Gators coach Billy Donovan said Monday. "That being said, this ranking has everything to do with what we were able to accomplish last year and nothing to do with this year. We're very honored to be the preseason No. 1, but at the same time, we fully realize we have a lot of work ahead of us."
Florida received 63 first-place votes and 1,788 points from the 72-member national media panel to easily outdistance North Carolina, which got the other nine No. 1 votes and 1,704 points.

Orlin Wagner/ASSOCIATED PRESS
K-State coach Bob Huggins promised fans a home victory against Kansas this season during the school's Midnight Madness. However, his teams performance Saturday against Washburn might indicate an entirely different outcome.
On Saturday nearly 10,000 people watched Kansas State's exhibition game against Washburn. That's double the number from last season.
But after witnessing the results, no one in attendance can be confident that Huggins will deliver his word. Kansas State had to go as far as triple overtime to win 94-90 against Washburn, a Division II school.
Washburn could have easily won the game. It only hit nine of 20 free throw attempts and missed game-winning shots at the end of the first and second overtime.
Yes, this was the same Washburn team that lost to Kansas by 30 points only three days before. After the first five minutes of the game, Kansas was already on pace to score more than 160 points. From the opening tip, the game's outcome was never in doubt, unlike Saturday's contest against KSU.
Kansas State played downright badly. The Wildcats shot only 33 percent from the field and trailed by seven points at the half. The Ichabads, with only one player taller than 6-foot-6 in the startling lineup, out-rebounded the Wildcats 62 to 59.
If Huggers wants to win against Kansas, he's got a lot of work to do. After the game, Huggins admitted that the Wildcats didn't even run an offense or hustle back to play defense, a strategy often seen in pick-up games.
But all the progress Huggins could imagine won't be enough. Maybe he retract his promise, or at least add "within five years," because there is no way that Kansas State will defeat Kansas in basketball this season.

was his. He doesn't want to harm his teammates by coming back early.
Meier went to his brother, Dylan Meier, a senior and backup quarterback at Kansas State, for advice as he waited out his injury.
Dylan's career as a Wildcat has been anything but smooth, just as Kerry's start as a Jayhawk hasn't gone as planned. Dylan missed all of last season because of an injury and was replaced as starter by freshman Josh Freeman.
"Dylan's been there through the tough times," Kerry said. "I think he's seen it all with what's happened to him."
The latest news in Kerry's life is the newest edition of the quarterback shuffle. Since coach Mark Mangino pulled freshman Todd Reesing's redshirt two weeks ago, the coach has vowed to work Reesing into the lineup for the rest of the season.
That promise led to some awkward moments during the Iowa State victory, where quarterbacks were shuffled in and out at various times.
10
"It's a coaches' decision," Kerry said. "If we're going to do it, let's do it. Whoever is in there, we're going to expect them to lead the team."
Kerry said he was fine with letting Reesing see some action this season.
As frustrating as the injuries have been, Kerry said he was determined to play loose on Saturday.
"If I'm not having fun, then something's wrong," he said.

Two years, two near misses.
Two years, two half masses.
For the second straight year Kansas (11-7-1, 6-4-1) was not selected for the Women's College Cup. Before this two-year drought, the Jayhawks made the tournament in 2001, 2003 and 2004.

Jayhawks seek better defense
KU takes on Emporia State tonight
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas' season opener against Washburn last week brought up questions that the team hopes to answer tonight against Emporia State in Kansas' final warm-up before the regular season.
The main concern for the Jayhawks entering the season was who would step up in the frontcourt without juniors Sasha Kaun and CJ Giles. Freshman Darrell Arthur, junior Darnell Jackson and sophomore Julian Wright filled in for Kaun and Giles effectively on offense, but were ineffective in defending the low post and in collecting rebounds.
"Our transition defense isn't very good, low-post defense is bad and rebounding is bad," Kansas coach Bill Self said after the Washburn game. "We said all along our biggest concern is rebounding, low-post defense and getting where we guard better."
Arthur led all Jayhawks in scoring with 21 points and Jackson and Wright were second and third on the team with 18 points and 15 points. Kansas out-rebounded Washburn by only one for the game: 48 to 47. Also, the Ichabod big men combined for 55 of Washburn's 69 points.
One smaller concern for Kansas is its banged-up back-court, Junior guard Jeremy Case missed the Washburn game because of a pulled groin. Self said Case would be out for seven to 10 days and may not be back until the Nov. 11 game against Northern Arizona.
Still, Kansas' backcourt played well without Case, so Self's focus tonight will likely be on his players establishing an inside presence. It will be especially troubling for Self if his big men struggle against Emporia State.
The Hornets' tallest player, Ed Desir, is 6-foot-8, but he didn't
Tonight will also be Emporia State's last exhibition game after losing 87-62 to the other NCAA tournament team from Kansas — Wichita State — last Thursday.
Watson led all scorers with 19 points and dished out a game-high six assists. Desir didn't start, but led all Emporia State frontcourt players with seven points and pulled down a game-high 12 rebounds.
Poor shooting crippled the Hornets. They shot just 20.7 percent from the field in the first half and made only four of 22 three-point attempts for the game.
Emporia State coach David Moe knows it will be hard to keep up with Kansas tonight, but he is hopeful his Hornets can make the game competitive for awhile.
"I'd like to see if we can play with them for five, 10, 15 minutes," Moe said.
Expectations aren't exactly high for Emporia State as MIAA Conference coaches picked the Hornets to finish ninth out of 10 teams in the conference this season. Kansas and Emporia State last met in 2004 when the Jayhawks trounced the Hornets, 115-70. Kansas leads the all-time series 15-3.
After scouting this Kansas team, Moe couldn't help but notice the lavhawks' depth.
"I think they're definitely as talented as they've been in awhile, but talent doesn't necessarily give you a national championship." Moe said. "Guys have to sacrifice some of their own goals for the good of the team. If their guys will do that, I'm sure they'll really have a good chance of winning it."

Democratic party takes firm control of U.S. House seats
Newly elected Congresswoman Nancy Boyda takes the stage Tuesday night at the Ramada Inn in Topeka. "I've done both, and winning is a lot more fun," she said. Excited Boyda supporters filled the Ramada Inn, waiting eagerly for the election results.
BY DREW DAVISON
TOPEKA — Nancy Boyda gave her victory speech Tuesday night after the polls were clearly in her favor, even though incumbent Jim Ryun had not conceded then.
"Whew, I tell you what," Boyda said of the 2nd Congressional District race. "Winning is a lot more fun."
Boyda's sentiment resounded across the Democratic party as more than enough seats wrested from Republicans guaranteed the party's control of the U.S. House with at least 226 seats. A majority is 218 seats.
The U.S. Senate race was deadlocked 49 to 49 at the time of publication.

Gov. Sebelius re-elected
BY DAVID LINHARDT
TOPEKA — Kansas got a little more blue Tuesday night.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius joined the riptide of Democrat wins in Kansas and across the U.S. as she rolled to an easy victory against Republican challenger Jim Barnett.
It was only the second time in Kansas history that a female Democratic governor was re-elected to a second consecutive term.
The Associated Press declared
Sebelius the winner about 90 minutes after polls closed in Kansas. Sebelius led Barnett, a state senator from Emporia, 58 percent to 40 percent with 89 percent of the precincts reporting. Libertarian Carl Kramer and independent Richard Lee Ranzau each received about 1 percent of the votes.
"We're very proud of the work that's been done in the past four years." Sebelius said. "But we've got a lot more to do."
Sebelius said she hoped to con-
tine promoting Kansas as friendly to biosciences.
"Kansans don't get up every morning thinking they live in a red state," Sebelius said. "Education is a Kansas value, and quality health care is a Kansas value."
Throughout the evening, speakers praised Sebelius and Attorney General-elect Paul Morrison for helping push Democrats to a slate of victories across Kansas.

Morrison defeats Kline
BY SHAWN SHROYER
'TOPEKA — If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. That was the case Tuesday night as Paul Morrison (D-Lenessa) beat incumbent Phill Kline (R-Topeka) in the race for Kansas attorney general after switching his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat.
The switch paid off as Morrison
picked up 59 percent of the votes cast while Kline had 41 percent with about 80 percent of precincts reporting.
Morrison had about 423,000 votes to Kline's 293,000.

"As attorney general, I pledge," Morrison said, before he was interrupted by applause.
"All right, everybody's going to have to shut up now," Morrison
Morrison was confident that he was the right selection. He said even those who didn't support his campaign would soon trust him, and at one point referred to himself as a "real lawman."

Giles dismissed after alleged battery against female friend
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Just days ago, CJ Giles was given a second chance and allowed back on the men's basketball team. Now, that second chance is gone.
Coach Bill Self dismissed Giles from the team Tuesday after a former girlfriend accused Giles of battering her at his Jayhawk Towers apartment Monday night. Campus police cited him for misdemeanor
Giles was not taken into custody, but was given a criminal notice to appear at the Lawrence-Municipal Court. No court date has been set.
battery on Tuesday.
The decision to remove Giles from the team was not based solely on the alleged incident. Instead, Self said Giles was kicked off the team for poor judgment and a lack of responsibility. Self said his decision was made without having many details.
"I'm not judge and iurv, and I'm not
"I'm not judge and jury, and I'm not pretending to be. The incident is very serious because you should never, ever put yourself in that situation. If what is said is true then, obviously, he made a bad wrong." Self said.
The situation was disappointing, Self said, because Giles had people who wanted to support him.
"The thing that's more fustrating to me with this is the fact that we've been through enough with him, he was very
aware of his situation," he said. "You've
got to be able to remove yourself from that."
Giles was suspended indefinitely Oct. 17 because of personal and academic problems. He was reinstated Friday and

"I care that he does well," he said. "But not at Kansas."
"It's a shock to the whole University to see what CJ is going through," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said.
Players said they were told of Giles' renovation during a light practice Tuesday.
According to the police report, the woman, who is a 20-year-old KU student, said she was asked to leave Giles' apartment around 10:30 p.m. Monday after he received a phone call from his girlfriend. When asked why she had to leave, Giles told her that his girlfriend was on the way to his room.
The woman told police that she didn't know Giles had a girlfriend

Justin Johnson Student Recreation Center Climbing Instructor
"When you are 2,000 feet in the air and there is nothing underneath you to keep you from falling, it's exhilarating," Johnson said.
Johnson is a climbing instructor at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. He has had the job for two years, and he enjoys it every time he works.
Justin Johnson, Wichita sophomore, likes to climb rocks, especially rocks that are 2,000 feet high.
Kansan correspondent Josh Landau can be contacted at editor@ kansan.com.
"I spot climbers and teach climbing classes," Johnson said. "We teach you everything you need to know. I still get a lot of free time to just climb all over."
"One day a buddy and I decided to check out the climbing wall and it stuck." Johnson said.
Johnson has climbed every inch of the wall at the recreation center. His favorite part of the wall is the bouldering area.
Though his major is in engineering, climbing is a hobby that he never wants to give up.
Johnson is also an officer in the KU Rock Climbing Club. The club takes four trips a semester all over the country to climb. Johnson climbs for recreation and for fun, but mostly for the challenge.
"It is fun because you are upside down almost the entire time," Johnson said.

School uses kindergarten tactics to flush out rebels
SHALLOTTE, N.C. — Students who need to use the restroom at West Brunswick High School can't go alone these days. They have to be escorted by school administrators.
It's been that way since early October, when hall passes were suspended after three trash cans were set on fire and fire alarms were pulled.
"If you're going to treat me like I was in kindergarten we should at least get recess and nap time," said senior Kristen Hughes, 17; "I was degraded."
The alarms forced all students and staff outside and they missed hours of teaching time.The culprits have been caught and punished.
Some of the 1,400 students complain that they're being treated like preschoolers, but principal Jim Jordan says he's more concerned about their safety.
"It's sort of a life lesson were trying to teach kids," Jordan said. "It takes all of us together to be a good school, not one individual."
Newspaper: No free letters for political endorsements
PROCTOR, Minn. — If you're thinking of sneaking in a letter to The Proctor Journal that endorses your favorite candidate, you'll have to pay for it.
"After years of having candidates drop by the office, news release in hand but no ads, I just got tired of spending space and time and not getting any sort of advertising and then getting barraged with last-minute letters to the editor supporting issues and candidates," Benson said.
Owner-publisher-editor Jake Benson is charging 5 cents a word for letters to the editor that back political candidates.
The twice-weekly Echo Press in Alexandria has had a similar policy for letters to the editor for more than 15 years. "It seemed to work and does limit the numbers, said editor AEdenloff, although "we still get tons of them."
The Journal, a 100-year-old weekly newspaper in northeastern Minnesota near Duluth, has a circulation of nearly 2,000.

Sewer waste could power building's heating system
SALT LAKE CITY — How many toilet flushes does it take to power a light bulb?
Salt Lake City is exploring a pilot project that would convert sewer waste into energy to run a heating system in a downtown building, city water department official Jeff Niermeyer said.
It sounds gross, but should be perfectly sanitary.
The sewage temperature — between 55 and 60 degrees — combined with a constant ground temperature of about 55 provides a viable ground source for a heat-pump system.
The heat, Niermeyer explains, will come partly from solid waste, and mostly from warm water that runs in sewage pipes after draining out of toilets, showers and sinks.
Simply put, the system would transfer energy from one place to another.
will be the testing ground for the system. Lear, who specializes in gas and oil law, stumbled upon the idea last year while investigating alternatives to traditional heating and cooling systems.
It's a bit expensive — the system costs $20,000 more than traditional systems — but if it works well, Lear hopes it could be eventually used by the masses.

Campus Queers foster awareness
Panel talks about attraction, LGBT issues
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Prosthetics, places to meet lesbians and gender reassignment surgery were all topics of discussion in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union on Tuesday night.
The KU Queers and Allies hosted its first annual "Ask a Queer a Question" last night. Six KU students, including a lesbian, a bisexual, two homosexuals, a female-to-male transsexual and an allied friend of members of the lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender community sat on a panel and answered a wide range of questions from the audience.
The question and answer session opened with a question about where to meet attractive lesbians and bisexuals.
From there the discussion touched on sexual attraction, same-sex marriage, religious opposition, preferred terminology and discrimination.
An audience of about 20 gathered for Q & As effort to get more students interested in the LGBT community.
Members of the panel also shared some of their coming-out stories when an audience member asked for advice on coming out.
Some panelists said they came out as teenagers while others didn't come out until college.
They all mentioned experiences with opposition or confusion from others about their sexuality.
"I'll be coming out my whole life, for every employer and others involved in my life," Jonathan Pryor, Queers and Allies director and Columbus senior, said during the discussion.
The panelists stressed that their sexuality wasn't about gender labels but about attraction and interest in a individual.
"You're attracted to who you're attracted to, no matter what's downstairs," Melissa Todhunter, Queers and Allies social outreach coordinator and Columbus freshman, said to the crowd.
Pryor said that this was the first time the organization had hosted an event like this on a broad scale for the public.
Pryor said he hoped the event would help people who were interested in the LGBT and allied community.
Maria Rodriguez, Dyersburg, Tenn., sophomore, came out to ask honest questions of the panelists.
"I came to support a friend and see what questions would be asked." Rodriguez said.
"This was a pretty open-minded audience tonight."
"This helps educate people who've never had a chance to ask the LGBT community questions." Pryor said.
"Where I'm from this wouldn't be happening. Gay people would not be getting asked questions without people screaming at them."

and asked him about it. Giles then got "very angry" and dragged the woman by her ankles off his bed and down the hall, as she was trying to get away, according to the report. She told police that Giles then struck her with his closed, right fist on the left side of her head.
GILES (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The woman collected her belongings, left the towers and called the police. Giles admitted to the responding officer that he dragged the woman across the floor, but denied hitting her on the head.
Attempts to contact the woman were unsuccessful. The University Daily Kansan has chosen to withhold the woman's name out of respect for her privacy.
After coming to Kansas a highly ranked recruit, Giles' career failed to live up to the hype. In his two seasons in Lawrence, Giles averaged fewer than five points and four rebounds a game.
But the bigger problem for the Jayhawkes is that losing Giles means they'll be without a much-needed post player. With Giles gone, Kansas has only two forwards on scholarship. Giles will remain on scholarship through the fall semester.

Suit filed against birth control patch
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
A lawsuit was filed in San Francisco last week against makers of popular birth control patch Ortho Evra claiming the patch caused blood clots that led to serious illness and one death.
"Nothing is 100 percent without risks," Guth said. "Blood clots are a complication of anything that's hormonal."
But Kathy Guth, nurse practitioner in women's health at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the risks with the patch were the same as with the birth control pill, as far as studies had shown.
Ortho Evra is an adhesive patch that releases hormones and is applied directly to the skin. Unlike the pill, which is taken daily, the patch is replaced weekly.
"It's just a different mechanism as far as how you're going to receive the hormones." Guth said.
Krystal Werth, Wichita senior, used the birth control patch for six months. She said her mom and a friend became concerned about her using the patch after hearing about medical concerns associated with it.
"A friend of mine who's a nursing student lectured me about being on the patch because shed heard of all the problems with it," Werth said.
There are several law firms taking up claims of women who have had blood clots or complications while on the patch. Some firms set up Web sites dedicated completely to Ortho Evra claims such as orthopatchlawsuit.com and orthoevrainjury.net.
Werth said she stopped using the patch because it gave her severe cramps and was uncomfortable to wear.
She said she didn't have serious complications like blood clots while using the patch.
Ortho Evra is the only birth control patch on the market.
Last year the Food and Drug Administration changed the labeling for the patch to include a warning in bold type that said the patch exposed women to higher levels of estrogen than most birth control pills.
According to the FDA, women using Ortho Evra are exposed to about 60 percent more total estrogen than if they were taking a typical birth control pill containing 35 micrograms of estrogen.
Unlike the pill, the patch exposes women to a constant level of estrogen. The pill has estrogen levels that peak and decline depending on the time of day.
This September, the FDA announced the results of two studies on Ortho Evra done to evaluate the risk of serious blood clots associated with the patch.
The results of the studies contradicted each other. One found that the risk with the patch was the same as with a pill containing 35 milligrams of estrogen. The other study found that the risk of a serious blood clot doubled from the pill to the patch.
The FDA said the findings "support the FDA's concerns regarding the potential for Ortho Evra use to increase the risk of blood clots in some women."
Guth said about 25 patches were prescribed each month at Watkins. She said the price recently went up to $46.16 per month from $38.50 per month and this caused fewer people to use it.
Guth said she talked to patients about risk factors of the patch just like she did when she prescribed anything hormonal, like the pill.
"At this point, the patch is still being recommended and still being used," she said.

Conference to explore African, Indigenous culture in America
Drumming up awareness
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Thumping hip-hop beats and discussions on African-American culture will be heard in an unexpected place this week: Haskell Indian Nations University.
Rap beats will fill Navarre Hall at Haskell on Thursday night, thanks to the hip-hop group Culture Shock Camp. The sound of African djembe drums and Inuit harmonies from Alaska will resound through the halls of the Kansas Union on Friday night. Scholars and professors from Arizona State University, the University of New Mexico and Johns Hopkins University will converge to discuss laws, issues and culture relating to African-American and Indigenous people. Representatives and scholars from Pawnee, Cherokee and Quinault Indian Nations will also make presentations.
Ruben Afagla, Lome, Togo, graduate student, will speak on Thursday afternoon at Haskell. Afagla will speak on a paper he wrote about commonalities of African-American and Native-American experiences in the United States. He said his international identity allowed him to approach the topic from a different angle.
Afagla said he found three similarities between the two cultures. Both constitute minorities in the United States, both have been displaced or denied sovereignty or an equal place in society and both resisted Western cultural domination.
"I knew of African Americans and white Americans before coming to the United States, but I believe that American Indians are not really known about outside the United States" Afagla said. "They haven't
disappeared. My priority at KU was to see if these people were still around."
Afagla said he hoped the conference would open up more discussion in Lawrence.
The conference is the culmination of the Shifting Borders project, two years worth of study and research on African-American and Indigenous cultures between the two universities with the help of a grant from the Ford Foundation.
Zanice Bond de Perez, Shifting Borders co-director at the University of Kansas, said the project began as a way to discuss racial and cultural connections that were being ignored by the majority of university studies. The "First and Forced" conference was modeled after a similar one held at Dartmouth College in 2000,
she said.
"The African American and First Nations people have had a long history of collaborating and serving as allies" Bond de Perez said. "Yet they have also served on opposite sides in some issues. We often don't see these intersections as multifaceted as they are in university discourse."
Bond de Perez said she looked forward to the change in learning and understanding that the conference and project might bring about in Lawrence and on a national scale.
"There is a lot of history to uncover" she said.

Moore re-elected to 3rd District
...
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Congressman Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) and his wife, Stephanie, sing along with their grandchildren and the crowd gathered at the Ritz Charles in Overland Park on Tuesday night to celebrate Moore's announcement of his re-election. This is Moore's fifth re-election.
Overland Park — Rep. Dennis Moore had an early birthday celebration Tuesday night after he won his fifth term as Representative of the 3rd Congressional District of Kansas.
Moore (D-Kan.) had 60 percent of the votes, defeating his Republican challenger, Chuck Ahner, who had 38 percent of the votes with 545 of 584 precincts reporting.
The confetti and party horns were out along with Moore's guitar after it was confirmed he defeated Ahner. He and his family sang "This Land is Your Land" with a packed banquet hall in Overland Park.
He told his faithful fans that it's not about the Democratic or Republican party, but about restoring checks and balances to the country. Bi-partisan politics were a running theme throughout his election campaign at a time when a Republican upset was expected in the U.S. House of Representatives. As of late Tuesday evening, the Democrats had wrested more than enough seats from Republicans — they needed at least 15 — to take control of the U.S. House if they held on to all the seats they had previously.
The situation in the Senate was more uncertain. The Democrats were poised to make significant gains, but not necessarily enough to get control.
The impending Democratic victory had Moore in an even better mood. The four-term Congressman said fiscal responsibility would be the number one item on the agenda for the Democratic party when it assumes power in January. Fiscal responsibility and conservation was on Ahner's agenda too, but he didn't agree with the rest of what he described as "liberal agenda."
Ahner told his smaller crowd at the Double Tree Hotel in Overland Park that there was not a lot of enthusiasm in the race because he didn't receive much financial support from the National Republican Committee.
He acknowledged Democrats
would be taking over the U.S. House and said he thought it would be dangerous and disagreeable to the people of the 3rd District.
"I'm standing here tonight and I'm still proud to be a Republican," he said.
Moore may see Ahner on the Republican ballot again in two years, but he said until then there was work
to be done
"We will finish the job," Moore said before he left to celebrate with Gov. Kathleen Sebelius in Topeka.
A 1952 KU graduate and registered Republican, John Van Keppel walked around the campaign party with a briefcase handing out Moore and Morrison bumper stickers. He wore a makeshift blue vest that read,
"Republicans for Dennis Moore," summing up Moore's campaign.
"He exists in strong Republica, areas because he is just like the people he represents," he said. "Moderate."
Thomas Holland, Moore's campaign field director and a 2004 KU graduate, said the mild race with Ahner was mostly because of the political environment in Kansas. He said
Democrats are getting a lot of support in unexpected places this year.

Secretary of State re-elected

Ron Thornburgh returns for his third term as Kansas Secretary of State after serving the last eight years as the state's chief election official.

at a higher voter turnout, and increased the role of advanced ballots in this year's election. Thornburgh pushed the legislature to allow satellite voting in more public places — which has met with resistance — and has used electronic greeting cards to increase voter turnout. He aggressively targeted voters age 18 to 24, through electronic media especially.
David Haley (D-Kansas City)
received 34 percent of votes.
Haley has served as a Kansas state senator since 2000, and as a state representative from 1994 to 2000.
"Being outspent by a Republican incumbent by over $100,000 is hard to overcome." Haley said. "But I will continue to be a voice in the Kansas legislature.
Rob Hodgkinson (L-Johnson County) received 2 percent of votes. Hodgkinson is the chairman of the
Kansas Libertarian Party.
Joseph Martin (F-St. Marys) also received 2 percent of votes.
He is currently the vice chairman for the Reform Party of Kansas, and served as the chairman in the past.

State insurance commissioner earns second term
BY MATT ELDER
Sandy Praeger (R-Lawrence) was re-elected last night as Kansas Insurance Commission with 62 percent of votes. This will be her second four-year term to serve as commissioner.
"It was gratifying four years ago, but even more so now that people have trusted me to return," Praeger said.
Praeger previously served three
terms with the Kansas Senate,
and one term before that with the
Kansas House of Representatives.
She served on the Lawrence City
Commission from 1985 to 1989
and as Lawrence mayor from 1986
to 1987. She is a graduate of the
University of Kansas.
"It really was two ladies and a gentleman running." Sharp said. "Anytime a door has closed for me, another one opens."
Bonnie Sharp (D-Kansas City) received 34 percent of votes. She said she supported the voters' decisions and looked forward to future endeavors.
Patrick Wilbur (L-Lawrence) received 4 percent of votes. Wilburn said he did not see himself running for office again, but he would be involved with finding high-quality Libertarians to run for the position in the future. He said that expansion of Libertarian views to western Kansas in the future would con-
time to add to the organization's growing success.
Wilbur is a graduate of the University.
"This campaign never got personal or nasty like some others," Wilbur said, "and I'm proud of that."

BOYDA (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"We took risks on this campaign by running a positive campaign," Boyda said to the boisterous crowd at the Ramada Inn in Topeka. "But I think they're getting the message and Kansas is sending it loud and clear."
"Thanks for 10 years of service," Ryun told supporters at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Topeka. "There's so many rich stories and rich memories. We will cherish those. I thank God for this opportunity."
Rep. Ryun was the last candidate to concede Tuesday night, interrupting a somber hush that blanketed the Republican watch party.
Renee Klinges, St. Marys senior and chairwoman of KU College Republicans, said Ryan "embodies the values of Kansas."
"Our entire group put a lot of time into his campaign," she said. "I'm very, very disappointed that he lost."
Despite the loss, many remained hopeful, including Ryn.
Boyda said it was nice to finally see a "big blue spot" in the middle of the United States. The Democratic Party took control of the House of Representatives.
Boyda worked with a "tiny, tiny staff," but it appeared that some-
"I still feel like we have the right
values." he said.
Boyda based her campaign on the idea of changing Congress. She wanted to get rid of the "culture of corruption" that she said had been running Congres

including the underprivileged, had the opportunity to achieve a "superb education."
Boyda ended her premature victory speech with a common phrase heard throughout her campaign.
She said health care and energy policies needed "real and immediate" help.
"Nothing will change until we change Congress," she said.
"I think Nacy Boyda will bring a positive change within the House."
Boyda also supports educational
Pell Grants so that all Americans.
KATE SULLIVAN Chicago senior
At a time when political interest is dwindling among college students, KU students were in Topeka supporting the Democratic party.
Sarah Peterson,
Lawrence graduate student, said she met Boyda during a St. Patrick's Day parade in Topeka.
"She shook my hand and introduced herself," Peterson said. "I went to her Web site and agreed
Peterson and more than 1,000 Democratic Party supporters were on hand to celebrate with Boyda and the other Democratic candidates.

with her views, so I've been a volunteer for her campaign since April."
"I was optimistic she would win," she said. "But I was surprised to see the numbers come out so well so early."
Boyda edged out Ryun by a small percent, 52 to 45 percent.

Voters upload phone videos
BY KIM LYNCH
Veek the Vote 2006 gives people a way to make themselves heard on election day by allowing them to post videos from their camera phones to the Web site veekthevote. com.
Camera phones are becoming a useful tool for voters to post their election-day thoughts and experiences online.
Roger Raderman, co-founder of weekthevote's parent Web site, veeker.com, said that videos and photos were a great way for people to give their opinions on the election as well as any irregularities occurring at the polling stations.
This program is one example of how organizations are trying to entice a younger population to speak out about elections and other issues.
"We set it up as really sort of an open network for youth to show the world where they stand on election day."Raderman said.
Users can send their videos and photos via camera phone to vote@veeker.com.
"We think that this is just the beginning." Raderman said.
The turnout of the 18- to 24-year-old voters was projected at 32 percent for this election by a Harvard University Institute of Politics poll.
Burdett Loonis, professor of political science, said anything that increases dialogue, like the Web site, is a good way to get people involved in the election.
Loomis said he thought the candidates were not focusing on issues important to the youth demographic because candidates would not spend a lot of time on a demographic that didn't have strong voter turnout.
"If they perceive something as important to them they might be more inclined to vote," he said.

ELECTION 2006

SEBELIUS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
elius
Governor
Jared Gab/KANSAN
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius gives her acceptance speech for re-election Tuesday night at the Democratic party's election night watch party in Topeka. Sebelius is the only female governor to serve a second term in Kansas.
John Sebelius, the governor's father and a former governor of Ohio, called his daughter's victory "one of the great political victories of this region in a long time."
Sebelius' father said he hoped victories could become a regular feature for Democrats, who are generally outnumbered by Republicans in Kansas.
Mark Parkinson, Sebelius' running mate, had switched parties from Republican to Democrat to join the Sebelius ticket. Parkinson said Sebelius rejected negative campaigning and partisan politics. He said that the Democrats had supported him and Morrison, who also switched parties, despite their former party affiliation.
At the Republican party's election vigil, Barnett told supporters he would continue to push campaign issues as a state senator.
"These issues won't go away," Barnett said. "We will continue to fight and continue to do what we need to do to help the state's problems."
Renee Klinges, St. Mary senior and chairwoman of the KU College Republicans, said that Sebelius didn't pay as much attention to rural communities as Barnett would have as governor.
She said Barnett, because he's a Republican, seems to mesh better with people of Kansas and represent voters better.
During the campaign, Sebelius had trumpeted her "fiscal discipline", including making health care more affordable and restructuring Kansas' budget to eliminate revenue shortfalls.
Barnett had questioned Sebelius on funding for state universities and said Sebelius was to blame for steep
tuition increases during the past five years.
Because she could be a vice presidential candidate in 2008, some questioned Sebelius' intention to serve as governor for a full four-year term. Last Friday, Sebelius told The Associated Press she intended to remain in office for her whole term
if re-elected

MORRISON (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Last weekend, Morrison traveled across Kansas to gain support for his campaign, but it was clear earlier this month that Kansans were rallying behind him. Last week the candidates released campaign contribution numbers and Morrison earned about twice as much in donations as Kline, roughly $2 million to $1 million.
The race between Morrison and Kline was one of the more publicized entering election night, heating up each day leading to the election.
In the last week, two abortion clinics requested that Kline return patients' medical records and that an investigation of a leak of those documents be started.
"It's a victory for Kansans who want their most private information kept private," Morrison said.
Morrison's opposition to accessing such personal information gained him support in the election.
Two of Morrison's most notable accomplishments were helping write Kansas' first law permanently locking up sexual predators and prosecuting the nation's first Internet serial killer
With 25 years of law enforcement experience, including nearly 20 years as Johnson County District Attorney, Morrison's main campaign issues were to crack down on domestic violence and cyber crimes, such as Internet sex offenders. He also wanted to reduce the number of mentally ill individuals in prison to allow them to get back on their medications and receive therapy.
Incumbent Attorney General Phill Kline conceded the race at 10:08 p.m. as polls began to come in from across the state putting him significantly behind challenger Paul Morrison. The sober silence that
Vanessa Pearson/KANSAN
had fallen over the watch party was temporarily broken as Kline took the stage.
"I have had the honor to stand for causes that will stand the test of time," Kline said amidst cheering. "They are not dependent on my voice, because truth has its own power and marches to its own victory."
He defended his position on the acquisition of medical records — a controversial move that many critics say may have cost him the election.
"If the state of Kansas decides they will not have someone in the attorney general's office investigating child rape when a child is taken to an abortion clinic," he said, "it has a right to decide."
It is a wonderful issue to stake your political career over, Kline said.
Dennis Chanay, Paola junior, attended the watch party and came to the defense of Kline's position on medical records.
"I think anybody who's willing to be that controversial to protect Kansans deserves the job," Chanay said.
101
The loss added to a painful day for Kline, who apparently made a visit to the dentist before the election results came out.
Paul Morrison, attorney general-elect, speaks to the crowd gathered at the Kansas Democratic Election Watch Party on Tuesday at the Ramada Inn in Topeka. Morrison defeated incumbent Phil Kline with 59 percent of the vote.
Morrison said that, even in defeat, Kline was gracious. He added that he was looking forward to working with Kline in the coming weeks during the transition period.
"I didn't intend to have a root canal today," Kline said. "I've been so busy looking at your own medical records I forgot to check my own."
Democratic Senator David Haley, who also switched parties in the early 1990s, summed up the night
best for Kansas Democrats.
"As we look ahead, as we look forward," Haley said, "we've got some great days ahead."

2 races to decide Senate control
BY TOM RAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
Seizing on voter discontent with President Bush and the war in Iraq, Democrats mounted challenges for Republican-held seats in two other states — Virginia and Montana — and were ahead in both.
In Pennsylvania, Democrat Bob Casey, son of a popular former governor, soundly defeated incumbent Sen. Rick Santorum, a conservative and third-ranking member of the Senate GOP leadership. Democratic Rep. Sherrod Brown easily beat GOP incumbent Mike DeWine in Ohio, a state where Republican scandals were devastating for the party.
"I think we will hold control of the Senate," Republican National Chairman Ken Mehlman said on CNN.
WASHINGTON (Wednesday) — Republicans struggled Wednesday to prevent a Democratic takeover of the Senate after losing GOP-held seats in Ohio, Rhode Island, Missouri and Pennsylvania.
Former state Attorney General Sheldon Whitehouse defeated incumbent Sen. Lincoln Chafee in Rhode Island. Chafee is an openly anti-war Republican who consistently voted against President Bush
Republican Bob Corker, a former mayor of Chattanooga, defeated Democratic Rep. Harold Ford for the seat held by retiring Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. Ford had sought to become the first black southerner elected to the Senate in more than a century.
In Missouri, Democrat Claire Caskill, the state auditor, slowly chipped away at the lead of Republican Sen. Jim Talent, declaring victory shortly after 1 a.m. today.
on legislation.
Even if they don't get a majority, Democrats will make it harder for Bush to enact his agenda his final two years in office by holding more seats in the Senate.
Reid said a strong Democratic turnout in both Senate and House races shows "we must change course in Iraq."
Americans "have come to the conclusion, as we did some time ago, that a one-party town simply doesn't work," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), told party workers early today.
In races still undecided earlytoday
Democrat Jim Webb, a former Navy secretary under President Reagan, held a slim lead over Republican incumbent George Allen with 10 percent of the absentee ballots still uncounted. A recount was possible.
In New Jersey, Sen. Bob Menendez held off a strong challenge from Republican Tom Kean Jr., son of a former governor, to keep the seat in Democratic hands. Menendez, appointed to the seat in January after Jon Corzine gave it up to become governor, had been viewed as the most vulnerable of 17 Senate Democratic incumbents.
Democrats' best chance for picking up another seat was in Montana, where state Senate President Jon Tester held a 4 percentage point with about two-thirds of the precincts reporting.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary, kept his seat from Connecticut.
"The election continues," Allen told supporters. "The counting will continue through the night. It will continue tomorrow."
Democrats also kept their seat in another important race in Maryland, where Rep. Ben Cardin held off a late surge by Republican Lt. Gov. Michael Steele to succeed retiring
Sen. Paul Sarbanes.
Former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, considering a Democratic bid for the White House in 2008, easily won re-election to a second term from New York.
Lieberman will be one of two independents in the new Senate. Rep. Bernie Sanders, an eight-terms congressman who calls himself a socialist, won the seat of retiring Sen. Jim Jeffords, also an independent. Both Lieberman and Sanders have said they will align themselves with Democrats.
Democratic Sens. Diane Feinstein of California, Maria Cantwell of Washington and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan were re-elected.
Democrats also kept seats in Wisconsin, North Dakota, New Mexico, Michigan, Nebraska, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Florida, Delaware, Wisconsin and Hawaii.
Republican Sen. John Kyl won re-election in Arizona despite Democratic hopes for an upset by wealthy businessman Jim Pederson.
Democrats needed a net gain of six seats to take control of the Senate, which, except for a 19-month period in 2001 and 2002, has been run by Republicans since 1995.

Democrat defeats two rivals
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Tom Holland beat out two opponents on Tuesday night for another term as Kansas House Representative for the 10th District.
Holland (D-Baldwin City) beat out opponents Roy Dunn, a Republican, and Robert Garrard, a Libertarian, with more than 61 percent of the votes, compared to 36 percent for Dunn and 3 percent for Garrard, with all precinct reporting.
Holland ran on a platform concerning issues of job protection
and growth in Kansas, investment in education and affordable health care.
Holland's opponent, Dunn, complimented Holland on a successful campaign after results indicated Holland would be victorious.
"You try to do your best in the campaign," Dunn said. "It takes quite a bit of time and quite a bit of money. I really compliment Tom and I for running a clean campaign."
Dunn said he will remain Franklin County Commissioner, a position he has held since 2004.
Garrard said the last time he ran he received only 2 percent of the votes.
I don't expect to win, I just wanted to get the message out about what Libertarians believe," Garrard said late Tuesday night.

Tom Holland could not be reached for comment late Tuesday night.

Incumbent hangs on to 38th
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
In a race to decide the 38th District State House seat, two former public school educators went head to head. With all the precincts reporting, incumbent Rep. Anthony R. Brown (R-Eudora), earning 57 percent of the vote, came out on top against Diane R. Bryant (D-Olathe), who managed only 43 percent.
The 38th District, which is between Olathe and Lawrence, includes De Soto and Eudora and consists of more than 30,000 people.
Brown, a former social studies teacher said that he was excited to
have won for the second consecutive term, but that it was a somber night because some of his friends were not re-elected in all the state and local turnover.
Brown said he wanted to push Kansas to include more alternative fuel legislation. Also high on Brown's agenda was preventing "dead-beat dads" from obtaining hunting or fishing licenses to ensure they pay their bills.
Bryant, a former librarian with the Olathe School Distfict, said school funding and pursuing alternative forms of energy were also key issues for her.
"These are non-partisan issues," she said, and added that both par-
ues could work together to accomplish common goals.
As far as running again, Bryant couldn't say whether she would. She said she would find a way to stay involved in the community and planned on spending time with her family.
Brown said he thought hard work by his wife and himself in the district contributed to his victory.
"I met 85 percent of the people in my district by walking," he said.

Ballard wins for eighth term
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
First time candidate Davis defeated in race for Lawrence's House seat
Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence) continues her tenure in the 44th District seat in the Kansas State House with a deciding victory against Rick Davis (R-Lawrence).
Her victory ensured her eighth consecutive term in office. Ballard, 61, represents west-central Lawrence. She is the associate director at the Dole Institute of Politics, located on the University of Kansas' West Campus. Prior to her current position, Ballard served as the director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and the Dean of Students at the University.
Ballard is a member of the House Appropriations, Joint Legislative Educational Planning, Social Services and Transportation Committees.
When you run a campaign,
Ballard said she's relieved.
you're happy when it's over." Ballard said. "When you win, you're really, really happy."
She was excited to pick up where she left off and continue the work she had done in her previous term. Education was at the top of her list including multi-year funding for K12, the higher education budget and University of Kansas Medical Center funding. Health care is also a primary concern.
Davis said he knew challenging Ballard for a seat she's held for the past 14 years would be tough.
"Even if you're not a good representative, but you have the name recognition, you have a good chance to win," Davis said. "It's a big part of the election process."
Davis said he will be back. The 23-year-old will run again, but he couldn't say if it would be in the 44th District. That's two years out, nothing is set in stone he said.
Until the next opportunity to run, he will continue to stay active with the Douglas County Republican Party helping to change the perception that "Douglas County is a Democratic district and Lawrence is a Democratic city"
Ballard couldn't say if this would be her last term.
Ballard won with 76 percent of the vote,with all precincts reporting. She received almost 2500 more votes than Davis.
"As long as I'm making a difference, as long as I'm excited and enthusiastic, I will run for office," she said.

Re-election by a landslide
State representative Tom Sloan elected to his 7th term in Congress
BY NATE MCGINNIS
State representative Tom Sloan (R-Lawrence) was re-elected to serve as a state representative for the 45th district.
Sloan said he was happy to be re-elected and that he truly enjoyed doing the job and making people happy.
He said throughout his six terms in Congress, he was still constantly learning new things.
"I know a lot, but what I don't know is even larger," Sloan said.
"it's constantly an opportunity to go learn more."
Sloan defeated his challenger, reform party candidate Jason Littlejohn (F-Lawrence), with almost 78 percent of the vote.
This was the first time Littlejohn had run for political office. He said for a first-time candidate, he was ecstatic to receive more than 20 percent of the vote. Littlejohn said he ran to be a leader instead of a follower.
"There's a lot of problems. Politicians are not talking real serious issues," Littlejohn said.
Littlejohn said he ran on the reform party ticket because both of the major parties were moving in the wrong direction. He said he planned on running again because he thought voters would tire of the dominant parties, giving third parties more of a chance.

Republican holds 46th district
Rep. Paul Davis (D-Lawrence) beats challenger with 87 percent of votes
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Davis defeated his challenger, Libertarian party candidate Marcus Kirby, with 87 percent of the vote.
Voters in Douglas County elected Rep. Paul Davis (D-Lawrence) to his third consecutive term as a state representative for the 46th district.
"Elections are a humbling experience," Davis said. "I'm just pleased that the voters feel that I'm doing a good job representing them, and I'm looking forward to challenges that await us the next two years."
He said that during his next term,
After hearing of his re-election, Davis said he would go to Topeka to celebrate with other Democrats.
he was interested in providing more resources to state universities and developing the research capacities of the University of Kansas and KU Med Center.
Kirby, a first-time candidate and student at the University, said he eventually wanted to pursue Kansas politics as a career and would use the experience to improve his strategies for his next campaign in two years.
Kirby campaigned by going to

Kirby said he might have lost because he focused on issues that were more pressing to Kansans as a whole rather than just his constituents.

LAWRENCE City Commission gets rid of 'wave down'policy
The Lawrence City Commission unanimously approved all the items on the consent agenda Tuesday evening, Including the elimination of the current "wave down" policy for the "T" Lawrence's bus system.
The policy to this point has allowed passengers to wave down a bus anywhere along its route. But Vashti Winterburg, a member of the group which originally petitioned the commission for a bus system, wondered whether this move would disenfranchise people with disabilities by making them fill out an application to be able to wave down busses.
"I think it's wrong of this commission to say that if you have some kind of disability we're going to make you jump through hoops to get a flag," Winterburg said.
Cliff Galante, Lawrence Transit Administrator, said that the application was easier to fill out than in other cities. Lawrence's version only requires that applicants name their disability and their doctor.
Galante said that the elimination of the policy and the addition of 100 bus stops to the existing 216 would benefit traffic flow in areas such as 23rd Street.

Election not only time to care about politics
Stumping, mudslinging, Decision 2006 and Indecision 2006 are all yesterday's exhortations and the election excitement (tedium, for some) has already faded. But why not pay attention to the next two years of bungles (or accomplishments) to guide you in your decisions for 2008?
With that stack of Western Civilization books to read or beers in your refrigerator to drink, maybe you lacked the time to take notice of this season's squabbles. But you could hardly avoid it when your cell phone rang, the caller ID said "anonymous" and then a recording of Paul Morrison or some other gruff voice commanded you to vote for him or her.
If you had paid attention the last two years, you could have snapped your phone shut. You would have already known whether to vote for the candidate. Advertisements and news reports bombard us with (dis)information about challengers, but usually you can make a
decision based on whether or not you approve of the incumbent's conduct during his or her term.
From Jack Abramoff to torture, Kansas abortion clinic medical records to Mark Foley, bad John Kerry jokes to the Kansas Board of Education, everyone has experienced abominations to their values since 2004.
That's why it's important to base your vote on a politician's conduct through an extended period of time. No pre-election opinion section contains all the relevant information in its two-page spread to produce an informed citizenry in one day.
EXCUSES FOR NOT VOTING
Whether or not you enjoy the media's election-season horse race, pick up The Kansan every day and look for political news and opinions to better inform you for 2008. We will continue to cover politics as long as you continue to read about it.

COMMENTARY
A size 00 won't make you feel better
I have always joked that models and Disney characters are a size negative-two. With the idea of "vanity sizing," that might actually become a true statement.
The basic concept behind vanity sizing is that some clothing manufacturers are thinking about releasing sizes lower than zero, a.k.a. negative numbers. They believe shifting the size scale will make overweight women feel better about themselves. So, I'll feel better when I go from a size eight to a size four.
Although my size may go down, my body weight is not going to go down. I'm still going to notice my pudgy tummy sticking out over my size four jeans when I sit down. The fat mentality is going to shift along with the sizes. Soon a size six will
be seen as fat and size negative-two desirable.
Seeing a smaller size on a tag is not going to make you healthier or make you feel better. When a woman who's trying to lose weight gets to wear a whole size or two lower than she does now, the happiness comes not just from the number, but from the knowledge that she worked hard to lose that weight. Going down a size can give a woman a sense of accomplishment, but that sense is gone when vanity sizing comes in.
In addition, a Kansas article, "Fashion industry offers negative-sized clothing," mentioned that according to a survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only four states have obesity levels

of less than 20 percent of the population. So if we try to make women feel skinnier with vanity sizing, where's the incentive for them to work out and eat healthier?
I think instead of trying to make women's clothing seem smaller we should try to change the measurements of women's clothing so women can find a better fit. If I had more size options for jeans, I could probably find a better fit more eas-
tly. This would make me feel good about myself.
It takes forever to find a pair of jeans that fits well, regardless of size. There are all sorts of problems with not just your waist size, but also your height and thighs and booty. A size nine might fit your waist but be two inches too short. And a lot of women are very reluctant to go up to that size 11 because that is going into, gasp, double digits. Bras are probably the only piece of clothing women don't mind going up a size in.

brilliant. I could find jeans for my
short little body that would actually accept the fact that I may be small but I also have three sets of hips. Most short jean sizes, especially in the petite section, assume if you're really short, you must be really skinny too. Not so. I have big bips and I cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny ...
With more measurement options, we could find the perfect fit and feel like we are perfect just the way we are. And Princess Jasmine can go eat a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts so she can fit into a size one pair of jeans instead of hoping for vanity siliz

His peaceful approach was so out of the ordinary that the former Pakistani government called it radical, banning him from Pakistani television and radio. Now, however, he is working in collaboration with Pakistani President Pervez Musharaff to bridge the gap, not only between India and Pakistan, but also between mainstream America and American Muslims.
Additionally, Salman has agreed to bring his guitar along and give an hour's performance. Considering that he is often hailed as the best guitarist from South Asia, this could be quite a treat. And before I forget, this event is free for KU students and faculty, so I hope to see a lot of you there.

No ideology dominates America today
BY ALEXANDER JOHN CRIST
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
As for the Dems, you get the vibe that they don't know what to do with regard to Iraq, but let's be honest: Setting up a brand new government and military in a country that sees you as an occupying force and is over-run with militant fanatics with guns while trying to get out at. the same time is complicated.
I hate to crib from David Brooks, but I'm going to go ahead and do so: We're entering an era without any predominant political ideology.
Phrases like "cut and run" pigeon-hole them, but with a little more stretching room in Congress they'll be able to figure something out and get their game together.
Whether America switches to a liberal ideology depends upon the Democrats finding a decent message, and the Evangelicals. The latter came out of nowhere for a lot of us in 2004, but now it looks like — politically at least — they're losing steam, primarily because they don't feel Bush is doing enough for them.
Brooks, in The New York Times last week, was talking about how from FDR to LB) we had a predominantly liberal ideology, with the New Deal, Social Security and the progressive legacy of civil rights. From Nixon to Carter we had what the latter referred to as "malaise" (good word — look it up) and a national sense of disillusionment with no dominant ideology.
It also helps (or hurts) when you have something come up like megachurch preacher Ted Haggard buying methamphetamine and maybe seeing a gay prostitute.
Now, because I'm writing this the day before the elections, and because this is appearing the day after the elections, I'm in a bit of an awkward situation. I don't know how things went yesterday but I'm going to go out and make a risky forecast that the Democrats will not lose.
》 TALK TO US
Crist is a Marysville sophomore in political science.
Then from Reagan to sometime quite recently we had a trend toward conservatism. The past six years, however, seems to have drained it. We're back to not a blank slate, but a slate full of useless senators who aren't getting re-elected.
If I'm being rough on the Republicans, it's because the Democrats look like the uncharismatic loser at the party. The Republicans, meanwhile, are represented by the really drunk guy who lit a cat on fire and then vomited all over the kitchen. He's just a more interesting target.
So why the flux? Cliché time: Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But since this is a democracy, we have to settle for enough power, which corrupts enough. Let's look at the recent quamires: Mark Foley, the initial response to Hurricane Katrina, the deficit, Iraq and Bush being a tool. Whether or not you can blame them on the GOP is not the question — because it has Congress and the presidency.

Coming in from the cold
KU students adapt to winter weather try to stay warm
BY JENNIFER MOHWINKLE
The changing weather affects more than just the clothes students wear and their electric bills. The increasing chill also affects the academic and social lives of students. From getting to class to deciding where to spend a night out, the cold weather breeds necessary adjustments in a student's mode of operations.
GETTING TO CLASS:
Many students simply avoid the uncomfortable weather and don't attend class. "Whenever I start thinking whether I should go or not, I just don't," Kristen Watkins, Lenexa sophomore, said.
However, students who brave the cold and head for campus become resourceful in terms of transportation. Watkins said she received more rides from friends as weather became
more unpleasant.
The KU on Wheels bus system is also a popular option for students, especially during the colder months.
Mark Burghart, Topeka sophomore, said,
"The buses are packed in the winter, but I'll still take them."
Jessica Mortinger, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, agreed. "As weather gets colder and wetter, we see more ridership," she said.
According to KU on Wheels records, the average number of passengers carried in February 2006 was 9,108, while October averaged only 6,903 passengers.
GOING OUT:
Parties and bars alike sometimes leave students out in the cold.
Kelly McReynalds, Santa Fe, N.M., sophomore, said, "If I go to a party and it's packed so I can't get inside, I'm not going to stay there on the porch."
Bars can also subject chilly patrons to lengthy, slow-moving lines.
Maris Rogers, Topeka junior, said the maximum time she waited outside in line was 20 minutes, while Juntack Oh, Seoul, South
Korea, freshman, said, "I wouldn't wait even 10 minutes."
Fortunately for freezing bar-goers, some establishments are prepared.
Patrik Craven, a manager at The Hawk, said. "We have excellent winter attendance because of the heaters on the patio"
The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., is just one of several bars for KU students equipped with heated outside areas. Other bars that have outside heaters include Quinton's, The Cadillac Ranch and Louise's Downtown.
GETTING HOME;
By the end of a night out, not all KU students find themselves in the condition to drive home.
"I know I don't want to walk home and freeze, so I use my head more when I go out," Burghart said.
Not all KU students have the same reasoning, especially on special occasions. Mortinger said the busiest nights for SafeRide are game-
days and holidays, such as Halloween and New Year's Eve. This past Halloween, SafeRide assisted 135 passengers, whereas only 36 passengers rode Oct. 30.
The frosty conditions affect students like McReynalds and Burghart who agree that, rather than walking, they enlist the help of SafeRide more frequently during winter months. When asked how many times she has walked home in the cold, McReynalds easily said "Zero."
Whether it's venturing outdoors or rushing back indoors, the decreasing temperature will soon affect class attendance, bus ridership and a student's ability to trudge by foot to various campus locations. KU students have options though, such as KU on Wheels, SafeRide and heavy winter clothing to make it to another spring.

KANSAS 90 EMPORIA STATE 55
SECOND-HALFSURGE
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
At least it was only an exhibition game.
Emporia State made it a ball game for the first half before Kansas overpowered their opponent with a solid second half for a 90-55 victory Tuesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.
The jayhawks started their final exhibition game slowly and actually trailed by as many as seven to begin the contest, 8-1.
Poor shoot-
tonight. It was a great lesson for us."
The Jayhaws responded to the Hornet's lead with a 13-1 run punctuated by Julian Wright's two-handed slam that ignited a dormant crowd and gave the Jayhaws a 14-9 lead.
"I didn't expect us to play well in the first half. But nothing negatively happened to our team tonight."

Looking ahead
Now that the exhibition schedule has ended, the Jayhawks will begin to play for keeps as the regular season schedule starts.
The first game will be Saturday night against Northern Arizona. Tip-off will be at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse. The team will not have to compete for attention with the football team, as Mark Mangino's crew has the week off.
After Northern Arizona and a Wednesday night game against Oral Roberts, the Jayhawks jump right into the Las Vegas Invitational, held during Thanksgiving Week.
The first two games of the Invitational, against Towson University and Tennessee State, will be held in Lawrence. After that, the team travels to Las Vegas to take on Ball State and No. 1 ranked Florida, a game that the team has been looking forward to for some time.
"They're the defending national champions," sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said. "So that's going to be a real good game".

Kansas will have to play all these games without the services of centers Sasha Kaun and CJ Giles, which could create matchup problems, especially against Florida.
After the Las Vegas Invitational, Kansas will leave Allen Fieldhouse only twice more during 2006.
They face DePaul on Saturday, Dec. 2 in Chicago in a game that will be televised on ESPNU. Also, the Jayhawks will play their annual game at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., on Saturday, Dec. 9 against Toledo. Tickets to that game are included with the student ticket package.

Setting first priorities
KU football competes with uncle's obligation to niece's birthday party
Why no trip to Mizzou during Thanksgiving? I'll be in Wyoming with family. Thus, it's Ames or bust.
I'm a senior graduating in May and I've never taken a road-trip to a football game during my time here in Lawrence. No trip to Columbia, Manhattan, Austin or Lubbock. Thought about going to Tulsa, but then realized the game was in Toledo. Perhaps a trip to Lincoln? That would require at least a Benjamin Franklin. Maybe a jaunt to Waco... ehh, heard the place was kinda wacko.
But before I could start planning my trip, my mom called to remind me of my niece's birthday party. How could I have let that slip my mind? And both my mother and sister had requested my presence.

I told my mom that I wasn't sure
if I could go to the party because I wanted to go to Ames.
Then I waited.
"Your sister is not going to be happy with you if you're not at that party, Freddy. She really wants you to be there," she said with that "I wouldn't do that if I were you" tone.
Mother wasn't upset, but she wasn't pleased.
I tried to plead my case, explaining that it would just be a bunch of women and little kids. I felt pretty
good after that. If my daughter was in town, then yeah, it's a no-brainer, I'm at the party. But I thought my argument was legitimate. With kids and toys, cake and ice cream, my niece didn't need Uncle Fred there, and in my estimation, she probably wouldn't have noticed or cared if I wasn't there.
Confident and relaxed, I waited for mom's response to my airtight defense. Then she pulled out a guilt-ridden needle when she reminded me that I had missed last year's party, too.
Inderd, I did miss last year's party. And that was the first one. In life, there are birthdays you get excited for, OK, really only two: 18 and 21. But it's hard to dismiss numero uno. The first year of your life. You've gone from a helpless

Saturday afternoon, while KU romped past Iowa State, I sat amongst women and children and ate Dora the Explore cake. Sure it wasn't the most thrilling event, but my mom and sister were happy, and that was good enough for me.

Despite losses, 'Hawks persevere
Jayhawks to play Buffaloes tonight
BY DREW DAVISON
While it is too late to turn around a disappointing season, Kansas will still seek revenge against Colorado at 7 onight at the Horeksi Family Athletics Center.
When the Kansas volleyball team lost a five-game match Sept. 23 at Colorado, it started the Jayhawks' free fall to the bottom of the Big 12 stands. Kansas (10-14, 3-12 Big 12) is just 2-10 since the beatdown in Boulder.
Colorado (13-9, 9-6), on the other hand, used the momentum from the victory and has positioned itself to make the NCAA tournament. The Buffs are 6-5 since the match.
"We were up 2-1 out there;
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "It's one of those matches if we close out, it could've made a difference."
The layhawks are riding a current five-match losing streak and have not won in three weeks.
"We have absolutely nothing to lose right now," Katie Martinicich, freshman setter, said. "The season is closing out, so it's a now or never type of thing. We're going to bring the best game we can."
Martinich recently reached the 1,000-assist milestone this season, averaging 11.95 assists per game.
With five matches left on the slate, KU's five seniors will look to leave a good showing.

Rush named first team All-American 2006-07 roster mostly underclassmen, shows big change from last year
Sophomore Brandon Rush joined a preseason All-America team of mostly underclassmen, which was decidedly different from the season before when four seniors and a junior were picked for the preseason honors.
BY JIM O'CONNELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
The 6-foot-9 sophomore forward was the top vote-getter Tuesday on the team chosen by the same panel that selects The Associated Press' weekly college basketball poll.
Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina led the team.
Juniors Joakim Noah of Florida, Ronald Steele of Alabama and Glen Davis of LSU also joined Hansbrough on the team.

Hansbrough was named on 65 of the 72 ballots, one more than Noah. Steele received 55 votes, while Davis had 51 and Rush 26.
Hansbrough was the key to North Carolina's surprising season that saw the Tar Heels go from unranked to 10th in the final poll. He averaged 18.9 points and 7.9 rebounds and made Carolina fans and coach Roy Williams very happy when he decided to return for a second season in Chapel Hill.
Gerry Broome/ASSOCIATED PRESS
“There’s a lot of things I want to accomplish as a team,” Hansbrough said. “I had a good year, but I talked to coach and we both agreed there’s a lot of things I could get better at individually. I'd like to go a little farther in the tournament and have a better ending.

ever-improving talent has made the son of former tennis star Yannick Noah one of the country's top players.
"Don't expect to see Michael Jordan out there right now. There was so much hype around him at the end of the year. He's not Michael Jordan," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "I had an opportunity to show him the tape of every basket he scored last year. I think it was amazing for him to get a chance to see that he scored a lot of baskets just by hustling and working hard. He's not a great 3-point shooter. He's not a great 3-point shooter. He's not a guy that's going to score a variety of different ways. He scored on being a great hustler, a great runner and a highly competitive kid. I've talked to him about not losing that. Sometimes you've got a kid like Joakim Noah coming back to college basketball and people expect to see Magic Johnson, Larry Bird or Michael Jordan. He is nothing remotely close to that. He's a very, very good player who's eager to get better."
It will be a much-different looking Davis this season as he has slimmed down considerably, losing about 50 pounds.
"I'm just eating healthier, but it's tough especially for a college student," he said this summer. "It's not like I eat crazy, it's just really, really difficult when you stay up late and do all that college stuff.
Davis was hard to miss as LSU made its run to the Final Four. Known as "Big Baby"the 6-9 Davis played at 310 pounds last season, a number some thought may have been generous, and he was named Southeastern Conference player of the year, averaging 18.6 points and 9.7 rebounds.
"I want to go into the NBA with experience, basically grown up," he said. "I don't want to sit for a couple
of years. For now, I just want to establish myself in college basketball and win a national championship. It's all about winning."
The 6-3 Steele is the only true guard on the team. He averaged 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists for the Crimson Tide last season, while averaging just over 40 minutes per game.

Pinkel said the Tigers (7-3, 3-3 Big 12) aren't ready to panic, despite a tough month that began with a 25-19 loss at Texas A&M on Oct. 14. After beating Kansas State, Missouri lost to Oklahoma and Nebraska, all but eliminating the team from competition for the North division title.
"I think everybody would like to
have a bye week in the middle of the season if you could," Pinkel said. "But coming off two tough losses against two good football teams, I feel like this particular year, it probably was good."
Seven of Pinkel's assistants are using the week off to recruit on the road. Offensive coordinator Dave Christensen and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus remained in Columbia with Pinkel. A light workout was Tuesday, and another will be Thursday.
The regular procedure returns next week in preparation for the
Nov. 18 game at Iowa State (3-6, 0-6). Pinkel said the Tigers still have a lot to play for, even if Nebraska would have to lose both of its remaining games and Missouri would have to sweep the Cyclones and Kansas to advance to the Big 12 championship game.
Missouri has already clinched a spot in a bowl game for the third time in four years — the first time that has happened since they went to five bowl games in six seasons from 1978 through 1983. Missouri also has a chance for nine victories for the first time since 1969.
First, Missouri must get by Iowa State, which hasn't won a game over a Division I opponent since beating UNLV 16-10. Missouri must also beat Kansas for the first time since 2002.
"Coach addressed the team and told us after the (Nebraska) game that we can have this, we can have a great season still," quarterback Chase Daniel said.
A 9-3 regular-season record would likely put Missouri in the Alamo Bowl against a Big Ten opponent, or the Sun Bowl against an SEC team.

Hiersteiner said, "I hope this will encourage other Lawrence businesses to help the community."
Leading the scoring for the weekend was senior Sarah Fiske, who scored 14 goals, the most on the team by eight.
Logan thinks Wobbly H's style will help make the event a success.
"The local music scene contributes a lot of personality to the community," said Logan. "Donating to Jubilee is a great way to use that personality to do something beneficial."
The Granada is the only venue in Lawrence to donate show proceeds to charity.
"Wobbly H has a ridiculous amount of fun on stage," said Logan. "If you like having a good time, you'll love Wobbly H."

Bill Wauoh/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Texas quarterback Colt McCoy celebrates a 36-10 victory against Oklahoma State after their college football game at Darell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday in Austin, Texas. McCoy threw for 346 and three touchdowns, while setting a new UT single-season record for touchdowns in a season, passing Vince Young and Chris Simms.
The Texas Longhorns have lost only once, to the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes. In Monday's Daily Texan, Eric Ransom attributes that success to the Longhorns' freshman quarterback.
Another game, another solid performance from Texas' Colt McCov.
If he were any more consistent. Swiss craftsmen would design watches according to McCoy standard time.
The talk following the game against Oklahoma State centered almost completely on Colt McCoy.
And why not, the redshirt freshman broke the school's single-season touchdown mark. McCoy also sits two touchdowns from tying the NCAA mark for freshmen.
With 27 touchdowns, McCoy passed former stud freshmen like Philip Rivers of North Carolina State, Chad Henne of Michigan and Ben Roethlsberger of Miami (Ohio).
But does Texas' freshman quarterback deserve Heisman recognition?
The numbers show he does.
McCoy is currently the nation's No. 2-rated passer, judged by pass efficiency.
He has passed for 2,051 yards after 10 games, completing 69 percent of his passes for 27 touchdowns and four interceptions.
McCoy's numbers give him more touchdowns, yards and completions than Ohio State's Troy Smith. He also tops Notre Dame's Brady Quinn in touchdowns.
McCoy sits around 172.
The pass efficiency stat is tricker than a normal statistic — NASA also uses it to find black holes. Just know that a rating of around 100 means the quarterback is pretty good.
More importantly, he's playing well every game and winning the hearts and minds of his teammates.
But the Heisman is different from other college football awards.
The candidates normally have to mount campaigns for an entire season to even be considered in the running. Many Heisman voters look to
And McCoy is building his own following with Texas' fans. People know he drinks half a gallon of milk a day. He swam across a lake to save
"I just don't personally believe freshmen should be up for the Heisman," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "You look at Troy Smith and Brady Quinn, and they've been around for four years."
the previous year's bowl game to look for indicators. The player then has to perform week after week the next year, beating both the opponent and the scrutiny.
a man suffering from a seizure.
The word on the street is he also loves his mom.
It's like college football's season-long beauty pageant.
The biggest thing working against McCoy is his age. He's only 20, even if he's playing like a junior or senior.
There are exceptions, of course. Barry Sanders won the Heisman in his first year as Oklahoma State's running back. Adrian Peterson also gained a Heisman invitation in his freshman year.
After playing Ohio State this season, McCoy has yet to show a
dropoff in performance. He passed for six touchdowns against Baylor. October brought a slew of straight comebacks. Texas is on course to win the Big 12 South and sits just outside the national title picture.
Naturally, not all of that is the quarterback.
Football is a team game, maybe the ultimate team game. But quarterbacks are similar to running backs, the other typical Heisman position, in that their performances are dependent on others.
The offensive line has to give McCoy time. The receivers have to get open. The waterbores must maintain the water at room temperature.
And following Oklahoma State, McCoy was the first one to credit all the above.
McCoy is putting up Heisman-
like numbers, and he might even gain an invitation. But for starters, McCoy could finish the season as the Big 12's top offensive player and a name on the All-American lists.

'Huskers' goal for season within reach after victory
Nebraska is in position to win the Big 12 North after defeating Missouri 34-20 Saturday. In Monday's Daily Nebraskan, Evan Bland said that it's a sign the Cornhuskers are starting to mature into a complete football team.
Nebraska's victory earned the team more than just the right to the Nebraska-Missouri Bell.
Nebraska-Missouri Bell this year.
Interestingly, Nebraska senior defensive end Adam Carriker said after the game he had never seen the Nebraska-Missouri Bell before except when playing the "NCAA Football" video games.
Similarly, those games are the only places Nebraska has seen a North Division title since 1999.
As fans and players are well aware, the Cornhuskers' 34-20 victory Saturday was a crucial step in retaking the Big 12 Conference's North Division and playing for a league championship in December.
With one victory in their next two games, the 'Huskers will punch their tickets to Kansas City, Mo., for the Big 12 title game on Dec. 2, probably against a certain familiar team in burnt orange.
The. Huskers have made it clear from the beginning of the season that winning the North is goal numero uno for this team. This weekend*
N
see Nebraska's win over Michigan in last year's Alamo Bowl as Callahan's best of his 20 with the 'Huskers. Not only was it an exciting game featured on national television, it also returned optimism and confidence to a pro-
So does that make Missouri the biggest victory for NU Coach Bill Callahan in his nearly three years in Lincoln?
victory will make that happen, barring an unforeseen loss at home to a hapless Colorado team in a few weeks.
The short answer is "no." I still
gram sorely in need of both at the time.
A victory against Southern California or Texas this year would probably have been viewed as bigger wins on the national scene. But those games, had the 'Huskers won, would have been novelty wins against teams who, right now, have more talent.
winning convincingly against Missouri is a sign that Nebraska might, just might, become a more consistent club.
That starts on the ground, where NU ran 47 times against the Tigers for 183 yards to dominate the time-of-possession category for the seventh time in 10 games this season. Complement that with the efficiency of senior quarterback Zac
Taylor, who completed 13 passes in 21 attempts, and there's a reason Callahan said his offense played the best he'd seen since the Colorado game in November 2005.
All in all, not a bad day to try ringing that old bell.

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
The sophomore guard isn't blaming his poor first half on his All-American status; Rush said he didn't know about the honor until halftime.
"Coach wrote press clippings on the board," Rush said. "I told him I didn't know, but he didn't believe me." Rush said with a smile.
Self blamed Rush's poor play on not being mentally prepared. Was it because of the team's distractions or the fact it was an exhibition game? "He's human," Self said.
Despite a slim 41-37 lead at halftime and an otherwise less than spectacular start to the second half, the Hawks, behind the strong play of freshman guard Sherron Collins, went on a 27-2 run midway through the second half
to put the game away. Collins, making his first collegiate start in place of an injured Mario Chalmers, led all scorers with 20 points.
Collins said that the Jayhawks' defensive effort and the fact that they pushed the ball more effectively in the second half keyed the run and helped put the Hornets away.
"I thought he was pretty good tonight," Self said of Collins, "but we won't dwell on the 20, because defensively he's still got to get a lot better."

"It is important for us seniors; we want to play for each other," Megan Hill, senior outside hitter, said. "Right now, we're just ready to have that win."
To get the victory, the lajwhays will have to play a solid defense. Colorado's Amber Sutherland, junior outside hitter, ranks third in the Big 12 Conference averaging 4.39 kills per game. Ashley Nu'u, Buffs senior

Injuries, cramps batter K.C. Chiefs
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pro Bowl left guard Brian Waters has sprained ligaments in his knee but will not be out for the year, Kansas City coach Herm Edmons said Monday.
Waters, a key part of the Chief's offense, was hurt on the second possession in Sunday's 31-17 victory over St. Louis. He appeared to be the most seriously injured of five players who had to leave the game and did not return.
Edwards said he did not know how long Waters would be gone but that he was not a candidate for inured reserve.
"I just know he's out this week," Edwards said. "He should be able to come back."
Nevertheless, it was just the latest blow to what has been for several years one of the finest offensive lines in the NFL. Pro Bowl left tackle Willie Roaf retired just before training camp and John Welbourn, last year's starting tackle, is only now getting back after a six-week suspension. Welbourn saw his first action of the season Sunday, playing some at left tackle and some at right, and was beaten twice by Leonard Little for sacks.
The victory was the third straight for the Chiefs (5-3) and kept them one game behind Denver and San Diego in the AFC West. But it was costly. Also leaving were starting defensive end Tamba Hali, linebacker Derrick Johnson and safety Greg Wesley. Keyaron Fox, Johnson's replacement, also had to leave the game because of cramps.
"Derrick Johnson has an ankle. He's questionable," Edwards said late Monday afternoon. "Greg Wesley is having an MRI right now so I'm not sure about him, but I think he's questionable. Tamba will be probable."
The beat-up line is certain to have coaches burning the midnight oil as they prepare for Sunday's trip to the Miami Dolphins. Because of injuries, Kyle Turley started at right tackle on Sunday. It was his first start since an old back injury flared up several weeks ago and benched him from the left tackle spot where he had been the starter.
camp with head and neck trauma, was scheduled to see a neurosurgeon last week. But Edwards said he did not know what Holmes' status might be.
"We've got some things we can do there," Edwards said. "Welbourn can play there if we need him to. We'll have a staff meeting to talk'about some of these things."
Waters' loss comes just as the Chiefs seem to have found a nice offensive rhythm. Tight end Tony Gonzalez and running back Larry Johnson, complementing each other, have had huge games three weeks in a row.
Running back Priest Holmes, who has been on the physically unable to perform list since before training

Wildcats reach bowl eligibility
would find themselves in the conference title game next month in Kansas City, Mo.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
BY STEVE BRISENDINE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Kansas State has returned to respectability and bowl eligibility for the first time since 2003 in coach Ron Prince's first season.
Among the 11 Division I-A teams with new coaches this year, three have better win-loss records than the Wildcats (6-4, 3-3 Big 12). Two of them, Boise State (9-0) and Wisconsin (9-1) went to the post-season last year.
No. 4 Texas visits Manhattan this weekend, the Wildcats' fourth ranked opponent this year. After that, Kansas State plays its regular-season finale at Kansas, with the Jayhawks also fighting to reach the postseason.
Kansas State won its only Big 12 title in 2003 but then went 4-7 and 5-6 in its last two seasons under Bill Snyder.
After the Wildcats' 34-21 victory last week at Colorado, a .500 showing in their last two regular-season games would guarantee Kansas State a winning record.
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
And if the Wildcats win out — and division leader Nebraska loses its last two, and Missouri drops one of its last two games — the Wildcats
Middle Tennessee State (6-3) did not.

St. Louis falls to middle of pack following losses
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — There's a perfectly good reason for the St. Louis Rams' three-game losing streak to come on the heels of a three-game winning streak: Tougher competition.
The Rams (4-4) fattened up on the Cardinals, Lions and Packers — who are a combined 6-18 — before faltering against the Seahawks, Chargers and Chiefs — a combined 16-8.
The end result: The Rams are squarely in the middle of the pack in Scott Linehan's first year as coach. They're a team with holes, especially on the defensive line and at linebacker as long as Pisa Tinoisamoa is sidelined with a bro
ken left hand, but with a productive offense that can score enough to make things interesting.
"We're struggling now, but I've been on a couple of bad teams around here that have had multiple injuries and collapsed on itself," quarterback Marc Bulger said. "We're nowhere near that."
They're still in the hunt in the NFC West, though, thanks to parity. And veteran players can remember a lot worse situations. Last year's team also was 4-4, but won only twice the rest of the way.
The Rams will get an immediate opportunity to regain ground on Sunday at Seattle.
Offensive guard Adam Timmerman said there's plenty of time to regroup.

Longhorns practice Pilates for flexibility
AUSTIN, Texas — From the gridiron to the Pilates mat? Don't laugh. Chances are Longhorn football players are on their way to their weight room right now, mats in hand.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
"It is a real good thing. I don't know about the whole team, but a lot of people do it," offensive tackle Tony Hills said.
As comical as it may sound, it is not uncommon for male athletes to do this type of fitness activity. It has been reported that Tiger Woods, Jason Kidd and Curt Schilling have used Pilates to increase their flexibility and improve their posture, balance and coordination.
"I just knew it was good from hearing other people talk about it," said Hills, who measures 6-foot-6 and 295 pounds. "I've seen it show up in games. I've been caught up in positions that I know had it not been for it, I'd have been hurt. It's working. I recommend it."
"It is funny to see those guys doing that stuff," Hills said. "You have 300-pound guys with their legs behind their heads, holding positions, shaking. You figure guys that can bench over 400 pounds could pick up their own body weight, me included."
It's helped some Longhorns so much that they do it twice a week. And no, strength coach Jeff "Mad Dog" Madden is not the one orchestrating the workouts.
Hills said 6-foot-5, 315-pound defensive tackle Frank Okam is the most adept.
Don't expect to see offensive guard Kasey Studdard advertise the program on an infomercial near you.
"I've never done it by choice, I've always been forced to do it," he said.
"He is the most flexible guy I have ever seen in the gym. He can get down. I think he can do the splits," Hills said. "Brian Orakpo is the least flexible. That guy there is something else."

iowa State coach Dan McCarrney's future with the team is uncertain after a rocky season. McCarrney has been at Iowa state for 19 years and still has three years left on his contract.
Replacing coach won't resolve issues
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN COLUMNIST
MPHILIPS@KANSAN.COM
Minutes after being dominated 41-10 by Kansas on his home field, Iowa State coach Dan McCarney walked into the interview room.
"I'm going to make a few statements, then I'll answer any questions you guys have," he told the assembled reporters.
The statements were about the game. The questions were not.
McCarney, who is known in Ames as "Coach Mac," is the Big 12 coach most likely to be fired after the season ends. The Cyclones are 0-6 in conference play and 3-7 overall. While those numbers easily make Iowa State the worst team in the conference, firing McCarney just doesn't make sense.
Iowa State Athletics Director Jamie Pollard has said he won't make an official decision until the season ends, and McCarney has three years remaining on his contract. He has been at Iowa State since 1995
— making him the longest-tenured coach in the conference.
Firing McCarney won't solve anything for the Cyclones. It would just make things worse.
In 2004 and 2005, the team came within one game of the Big 12 North Championship under Coach Mac's leadership. Now the fans want to run him out of town? It raises an interesting question: Who do Cyclones fan think they are going to get?
Ames is not an exciting town. Iowa State is the second-most prestigious school in a state that doesn't produce more than a handful of top high-school recruits every year.
Iowa State is not one of the Big 12's premier schools. The Kansan ran an article Monday detailing the expenses and revenues of the conference's schools. Iowa State ranked last in both categories. The only school that might trail it is Baylor, which is a private school and doesn't have to reveal those numbers.
To get a coach like McCarney, who has stayed in Ames for more than a decade, is rare. He may not be Bill Synder, but there's only one Bill Snyder available, and he's retired.
Perhaps the worst part of it all is that this season isn't entirely his fault. A combination of scheduling and injuries doomed the Cyclones' season before it ever began.
After a nonconference match-up against Iowa, the Cyclones' first four Big 12 games were against Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas Tech, four of the toughest teams in the conference.
As for his team, injuries have sidelined several key offensive players, including star running back Stevie Hicks. You try winning against Big 12 teams with no running back.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino sympathized with McCarney's situation.
"I think they've had some circumstances that put them in this position that were beyond their control," he said. "They fought to the end of the game, which is a tribute to Coach Mac."
Still, in this message-board age, unfortunate circumstances don't renew contracts. Victories do. This is something Coach Mac knows.
"This is not what any of us anticlimated," he said. "It's not like I haven't been through adversity before, so I've got plenty of practice at it."
Now McCarney enters his final games, probably losses to Colorado and Missouri, as a lame-duck coach. If Pollard and the Iowa State staff have any common sense, they'll keep the only coach loyal enough to stay in Ames for 11 years with the smallest budget in the conference. If the fans have any common sense, they'll quit calling for the coach's head.
"We'll fight through this and try to finish with our heads held high," McCarney said. "The fans deserve better than what we gave them today."
You know, after evaluating the facts, I'm not sure they do.

Jayhawks sign center for'07,'08
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas added a big man to its roster after Cole Aldrich signed a letter of intent on Wednesday to become a Jayhawk.
Unfortunately for Self and the Jayhawks, they will have to wait until next season before Aldrich will be able to suit up.
A 6-foot-10, 245-pound center from Jefferson High School in
Bloomington, Minn., Aldrich was the only player to sign a letter of intent
DANIEL BURRINGTON
Aldrich
with Kansas on Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period. Aldrich, who orally committed to Kansas in November of 2005, chose such schools as
Kansas over
Minnesota and North Carolines
"We are especially happy to officially welcome Cole and his parents, Walt and Kathy, to the Kansas basketball family," Self said. "We are very appreciative of the Aldrich's loyalty to Kansas and are excited about him being a Jayhawk. Cole has been committed to Kansas for more than a year and has visited campus many times. Our fans should be very excited about a player of his
ability and love for this University"
According to Rivals.com, a site that provides player evaluation, Aldrich is a five-star recruit, ranked fifth among centers and 25th among all recruits. Scout.com, which also provides player evaluations, has Aldrich listed as a four-star recruit and 27th among all recruits. Scout com ranks Aldrich the fourth best center in his class.
As a junior, Aldrich averaged
16. 5 points and 13-rebounds per game. As an AAU player, Aldrich was a Reebok ABCD All-Star in 2005 and 2006. Last summer he played in the Schweitzer Games in Germany.
Scout.com states Aldrich is a strong center with good finishing skills - scoring around the basket - and rebounding skills. As for areas of improvement, Scout.com says Aldrich needs work on his
mid-range game, speed and quickness, and needs to become a better player in transition.
Although Kansas could use Aldrich right now, following an injury to junior center Sasha Kaun and the dismissal of junior center C.J. Giles, the Jayhawks won't get to see Aldrich in their frontcourt rotation until next season.

Center expands program targeting Native smokers
BY DARLA SLIPKE
The Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health at the University of Kansas Medical Center will receive $1.2 million during the next three years to implement a smoking cessation program that will target Native Americans.
The grant money, awarded by the American Cancer Society and the
American Lung Association, will allow researchers to further develop a program created and tested on a small scale during the past year.
Won Choi, associate professor of preventive medicine and a lead researcher for the program, said researchers had seen significant results from pilot programs.
After the completion of a twelve-week program, 65 percent of participants had quit smoking. Six months later, 28 percent remained non-smokers.
Choi said Native Americans had the highest smoking rate among all ethnic groups. About 40 percent of Native Americans smoke, compared to a national average of 22 percent.

Rumsfeld resigns one day after GOP loses congressional control to Dems
WASHINGTON — After years of defending his secretary of defense, President Bush on Wednesday announced Donald H. Rumsfeld's resignation within hours of the Democrats' triumph in congressional elections. Bush reached back to his father's administration to tap a former CIA director to run the Pentagon.
The Iraq war was the central issue of Rumsfeld's nearly six-year tenure, and unhappiness with the war was a major element of voter dissatisfaction Tuesday — and the main impetus for his departure. Even some GOP lawmakers became critical of the war's management, and growing numbers of politicians were urging Bush to replace Rumsfeld.
THE REAL BENEFIT OF ELECTING A PROFESSIONAL GOVERNOR IS THE SUCCESS IN THE SOCIAL WORKING COMMUNITY. THIS REFORMATION HAS REDUCED MANAGEMENT TASKS AND ADMINISTRATORS, BUT IT CANNOT BE REINFORCED IF THE GOVERNOR IS NOT ELECTED.
Robert Gates, President Bush's nominee for defense secretary, right, accompanied by outgoing Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, speaks in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 8, where President Bush, not shown, made the transition announcement.

Author to address women's roles in hip-hop
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Pough — author, hip-hop feminist and women's studies associate professor at Syracuse University — will speak about stereotypes and the place of women in hip-hop culture at 7:30 tonight at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union. The lecture; "It's My Beat: Women, Hip-Hop and a Feminist Agenda," is free to the

Pough said she wanted to help educate the KU community by exposing it to the different cultural

and social elements of hip-hop.
"A lot of the sexism and misogyny that exists in the larger culture exists in hip-hop," Pough said. "It is a male heavy field. It is
hard for women to break through those barriers"
Maryemma Graham, professor of English, was Pought's former teacher at Northeastern University and belped bring her to the University.
Graham said she wanted Pough to lecture because she thought Pough would appeal to a younger generation to teach about hip-hop in an academic context.
"She represents a scholar of a new generation," Graham said. "She demonstrated a particular kind of vision of how you can combine more public and activist concerns with academic concerns. I think there is an idea that it you are an academic you have to stay away from public issues."
Graham said she thought Pough
expressed a controversial message through her work to examine the role of feminists in hip-hop culture.
Pough's visit is sponsored in part by the KU English Department, William J. Harris, professor of English, said he thought Pough's visit would engage the community.
"I think her visit will be useful and gratifying to see her in terms of the topic of hip-hop and viewing it in terms of a gender perspective," Harris said. "Secondly, as an English department, it's interesting to have someone who's talking about the effectiveness of language, and the hip-hop culture is made up of language."
Pough wrote "Check It While I Wreck It: Black Womanhood, Hip-Hop Culture, and the Public Sphere" in 2004 about the roles of gender awareness and feminism in hip-hop culture. Pough is also the author of several fictional books, under the pen name of Gwyneth Bolton, about a hip-hop feminist heroine.

ODD NEWS Millions of snails found, compared to size of hand
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados — A breed of giant, ravenous snails that first appeared in Barbados five years ago is destroying crops and prompting calls for the government to eliminate the slimy pests.
A nocturnal "snail hunt"recently found millions of giant African snails swarming the central parish of St. George, the country's agricultural heartland.Farmers had
complained of damage to crops including sugar cane and potatoes
"We saw snails riding on each other's backs and moving in clusters," said David Walmond, chairman of the local emergency response office that organized the nocturnal hunt. "In some cases we saw areas of 20 to 30 square feet with hundreds of thousands of snails."
The Barbados Agricultural Society said the count revealed the scale of the problem for the first time and urged the government to set up a task force to eradicate the
snail population.
The snails, which are about the size of a human hand, are known to consume as many as 500 different plants, and their mucous can transmit meningitis and other diseases.

Democrats obtain 51st seat in Senate
BY LIZ SIDOTI ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans Wednesday with an upset victory in Virginia, giving the party complete domination of Capitol Hill for the first time since 1994.
Jim Webb's squeaker win over incumbent Sen. George Allen gave Democrats their 51st seat in the Senate, an astonishing turnabout at the hands of voters unhappy with Republican scandal and unabated violence in Iraq. Allen was the sixth Republican incumbent senator defeated in Tuesday's elections.
The Senate had teetered at 50 Democrats, 49 Republicans for most of Wednesday, with Virginia hanging in the balance. Webb's victory ended Republican hopes of eking out a 50-50 split, with Vice President Dick Cheney wielding
The Associated Press contacted election officials in all 134 localities where voting occurred, obtaining updated numbers Wednesday. About half the localities said they had completed their postselection canvassing and nearly all had counted outstanding absentees. Most were expected to be finished by Friday.
The new AP count showed Webb with 1,172,538 votes and Allen with 1,165,302, a difference of 7,236. Virginia has had two statewide vote recounts in modern history, but both resulted in vote changes of no more than a few hundred votes.
An adviser to Allen, speaking on condition of anonymity because his boss had not formally decided to end the campaign, said the senator wanted to wait until most of canvassing was completed before announcing his decision, possibly as early as Thursday evening.

Former mathematics professor dies after decades of dedication
BY DARLA SLIPKE
G. Baley Price, a former professor of mathematics and former chairman of the department, died Tuesday at the age of 101.
Price taught at the University from 1937 to 1975, except from 1943 to 1945 when he worked for the U.S. Army Air Corps, the precursor to the Air Force, to test the use of radar to help World War II bomber pilots improve their accuracy.
He was the chairman of the department of mathematics from 1951 to 1970, during the Sputnik Era, when there was a large push for the study of mathematics.
Charles Himmelberg, chairman of the department of mathematics
Jack Porter, chairman of the department of mathematics, said Price was forward-thinking.
from 1978 to 1999, said Price was instrumental in bringing great educators to campus during that period.
"When he thought he had a good idea, he would move on with it." Porter said. "He was a real innovator. He was willing to start up programs that still exist today."
Price played a significant role in the development of New Math, a revolutionary approach to teaching mathematics that taught concepts, rather than memorization, so that students would understand skills and be able to apply them.
"His service to the math program is famous," Porter said. "He was a
real legend and an amazing person."
real legend and an amazing person.
Price's colleagues said he was devoted to the program.
Porter said even after Price retired, he would discuss the department with Porter at University events.
Himmelberg said Price would have stayed on as chairman longer if not for a strict policy that required people in administrative posts to retire from the post at the age of 65.
Former colleagues said Price was kind and helpful to them in their careers.
Fred Van Vleck, professor emeritus of mathematics, wrote two books with Price during a three-year span. During one of his first years teaching in the 1960s, Vleck said he and Price taught sections of the same
math class. When the classes carried over into the second semester, some students wanted to switch to Price's section. Van Vleck said he has never forgotten the support he got from the experienced professor when he talked the students into staying in his section.
Himmelberg said Price was "like a fatherly figure" to him. He said he learned a lot from Price's example.
Price was "straight-laced" and "very correct in everything he did," Himmelberg said.

SPEAKER
Publisher to analyze dictionary's evolution
BY BEN SMITH
John Morse is always asked about having a favorite word in the dictionary.
"I can never answer that question," said Morse, president and publisher of Merriam-Webster Inc. "I'm like a grandmother with so many grandchildren. I have a deep love for all language and words. I can't have any favorites."
As part of the dictionary's bicentennial celebration, Morse will speak at 7:30 tonight at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The lecture, "Dictionaries and Democracy: 200 years of Dictionary Making in America, 1806-2006," will discuss the life of Noah Webster
the first American lexicographer
— and his first dictionary, which incorporated the words "skunk" and "porcupine" into the English language and eliminated the letter "u" from the words "labor" and "color"
The lecture will cover the evolution of the American dictionary from the 1806 version to the 1847 edition, revised by George and Charles Merriam after Webster's death in 1843, and finally to the contemporary versions, which are working to incorporate words like "mouse potato," (noun, slang: a person who spends a great deal of time using a computer).
Lisa Etiner, Oread Books supervisor, said she received e-mails and phone calls that expressed interest
in the lecture. Oread Books will sponsor the lecture, along with 11 other lectures this semester.
Morse said the dictionary was a "quintessential American document" from its first publication through today.
He said Webster's dictionary was revolutionary because it was the first to incorporate terms from science and technology, rather than just literary terminology.
"One of my main messages is that it is a very powerful glossary of life," Morse said. "Many people don't seem to realize that."
Arthur Bicknell, Merriam- Webster senior publicist, said the lecture was designed to show people how important the Webster Dictionary had been to American
culture. The lecture will focus on early versions of the dictionary.
"Prior to 1806 we had used only English dictionaries." Bicknell said. "This didn't seem right. We were our own entity and Webster saw that."
Bicknell said some American words didn't exist in a dictionary before Noah Webster wrote them down. Words like "hickory," "chowder," and "applesauce" that were commonly used in the United States had been basically ignored by English lexicographers.

Former CBS anchor stands
NATION
by words about documents
RALEIGH, N.C. — Former CBS anchor Dan Rather once again defended his discredited "60 Minutes Wednesday" report about President Bush's military service, insisting the story was accurate.
Rather narrated the September 2004 report, which alleged that
President Bush skirted some of his duties during his National Guard service and that a commander felt pressured to sugarcoat Bush's record.
"The story was true," Rather, 75, told radio station WPTF-AM on Tuesday. "We were vulnerable on taking responsibility for it."
Pressed further on the authenticity of the report, Rather lashed out at radio host Donna Martinez,
saying she had a political agenda.
Rather stepped down as "CBS Evening News" anchor in March 2005, and the network cut all ties to him in June. He is scheduled to produce and host a weekly news program beginning Nov. 14 on HDNet, a small network aimed at owners of high-definition televisions.

》 OUR VIEW
Tuesday's elections bode well for Kansas, America
The results of Tuesday's elections are mostly in, and while we endure the media's hyperanalytical focus on the Virginia Senate race, we can examine the races that are already decided. Does Tuesday's big night portend any sweeping change in the future of our country?
It is famously said that success has a thousand fathers, and the Democratic Party is currently reaffirming that maxim. The rush of self-congratulation has begun in earnest, with
everyone from Howard Dean to Bill Clinton celebrating the recapture of the House. The Republican Party, meanwhile, begins a round of finger-pointing and blaming. This election may finally be the point when the rift between business and social conservatives exposes the party to the kind of fractious infighting usually reserved for their opponents.
But based on exit polls, voters widely believed that this election was a referendum not just
on President Bush but on the direction of the nation under his party's rule. Democrats spoke loftily Tuesday night of the demand for "a new direction," but exactly what that direction will entail remains to be seen. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, the ranking Democrats in the House and Senate, respectively, are probably not the ideal public symbols their party wants, and their agenda of progressive programs will encounter stern opposition from the White
House. Sadly, gridlock seems more likely than bipartisan consensus.
Regardless of personal party views, many Americans will and should be happy to see the effective end of one-party rule in Washington. Any party that dominates all branches of government creates an echo chamber and quickly becomes convinced of its own self-righteousness. The Democratic takeover of the House, and potentially of the Senate, creates an invigorat-
ed opponent to the President's agenda, and at the very least forces him to reckon with the opposition party. This is in stark contrast to the past few years, when the ruling party took steps to cement the irrelevance of the Democrats.
the results bode well for the state. Perhaps Kansas, mocked and pilloried for so long by so many, is on the brink of a new era of progress, led by moderate public officials willing to work with representatives of all stripes to move the state forward. For our own sake, let us hope that is true.
Locally, the reliably red state of Kansas looked decidedly bluer Tuesday night, but that can be deceiving. While there were big victories for Democrats, the victors are hardly facsimiles of their coastal brethren. Nevertheless,

COMMENTARY
Recent events illustrate students' power
Presidents are falling, all over this land.
Last month, at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., protests by hundreds of students and faculty ended the incoming president's tenure before she could even take office.
At Johnson County Community College, in the spring, a news article toppled the 25-year-old presidency of Charles J. Carlsen.
(Full disclosure I previously worked at the JCCC student newspaper, The Campus Ledger, and I have worked with Miguel Morales, the reporter who broke the story on Carlsen.)
Both of these are powerful examples that students can still change the world, or at least their own worlds.
At Gallaudet, a college for the deaf, students protested the appointment of Jane K. Fernandes as president because they didn't believe she represented them. Opposition began last spring with the announcement of her appointment and continued after the fall session started. There were arrests, hunger strikes, people camping out on the lawn of the school.
On the flip side of a mass uprising is Morales. Morales was one voice instead of many. He spent more than a year compiling infor-

manon, interviewing sources, following leads before he felt ready to run a story that focused on an allegation that Carlsen had sexually harassed an employee. Carlsen has repeatedly denied the accusation.
Seven months later, the fallout of that article is still being felt. Carlsen resigned. The college's board of trustees launched an investigation, but chose not to reveal all of its findings. Later, the board revealed the investigation had found other women who reported similar conduct from Carlsen. They're still looking for a new president.
Since the circus started, many students and faculty have supported Morales and The Campus Ledger. But, on production day, it was Morales and the staff of the paper who decided they had a story that needed to be told; that they would pit themselves against a quartercentury-old administration and take the consequences.
In both cases, there were people
who criticized the student voices. At Gallauet,some say a radical minority wouldn't give change a chance.At JCCC,some have bemoaned the fall of the man who built a community college powerhouse.
When students are not treated as stakeholders in the schools they attend, they need to make their presence and views known. I've met many administrators at our University and other colleges who deeply cared about the students they served. However, when the bureaucracy turns its eye our way, too often we become numbers, trends, tuition payments and statistics rather than members of our community.
We may only be in our schools for a few years while administrations last decades, but that doesn't mean we don't have the right and the power to change our campuses. Schools exist to educate students, not maintain the administrations that run them.
When facing the often mind-numbing challenge of standing up against powerful bureaucracies, whether in government, school or business, the little voices can still make themselves heard — and win.

The U.S. government would have us believe that illegal immigration is a dire and threatening issue. Americans are continuously bombarded with warnings about the effects of illegal immigration, yet none of the proposed solutions, such as mass deportation or a wall, will effectively end illegal immigration because none consider the root of the problem. Illegal immigrants are no great threat to America and many would have stayed home if not for the negative effects of U.S. trade policy.
Eleven to twelve million illegal immigrants currently reside in the U.S. Most came because policies such as NAFTA and CAFTA, so-called "free trade" agreements with Mexico and Central America, benefit large corporations and subsidized American industries, while demolishing the smaller, independent businesses and farms of Latin America, which are unable to compete. As a result, NAFTA and CAFTA devastate struggling econo-

The effects are clearly evident in immigration patterns: According to the Pew Hispanic Center, Mexican immigration to the U.S. decreased 18 percent in the three years prior to NAFTA, but increased a whopping 60 percent after NAFTA was implemented.
As citizens it is important that we understand the need for a more comprehensive approach to illegal immigration. Dialogue regarding solutions must consider U.S. history of immigration, the benefit of immigrants, and ways in which U.S. policies drastically affect immigration. We must question why illegal immigrants leave their countries, homes and families to make the treacherous journey to the U.S. Only then can a more effective solution can be found.
As immigrant numbers grew, so too did the desire to maintain pure "American" culture. Politicians took the cue, using illegal immigrants to improve their own popularity

Proposed solutions to address the dilemma include the "cattle method," rounding them up and sending them back, as well as the "separation method," building a wall between the US and Mexico. So what, exactly, is the issue?
Anti-immigration campaigns often cite $10 billion as the yearly cost of illegal immigrants for U.S. taxpayers. At best this number is fuzzy math. For obvious reasons this estimate disregards the economic benefit of illegal immigrants. America employs millions of illegal immigrants yearly whose removal from the workforce would be initially ruinous to the American economy. Additionally, the estimate does not consider that many illegal immigrants have fake social security numbers and pay taxes, but rarely use tax services. The average tax-
Despite the ambiguous nature of the problem, the American population is convinced that illegal immigration is a serious threat. Steps to treat the disease are under way, but lack a comprehensive knowledge of the issue. Deportation, for one, would cost billions and harm the U.S. economy. Because the flow of immigrants will never be stagnant, deportation would also have to be repeated multiple times, and would cause severe psychological harm to affected families.
paying immigrant and his or her family pay approximately $80,000 more in taxes than they receive in benefits over a lifetime.
Similarly, a wall would not solve the issue. Two weeks ago President Bush signed a bill to build the Great Wall of Mexico that will cost nearly $2 billion. But money for the border patrol has been increased multiple times since 1986, and the population of illegal immigrants has nearly quadrupled since then.

RUMSFELD (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2006
Bush said Robert Gates, 63, who has served in a variety of national security jobs under six previous presidents, would be nominated to replace Rumsfeld. Gates, currently the president of Texas A&M University, is a Bush family friend and a member of an independent group studying the way ahead in Iraq.
The White House hopes that replacing Rumsfeld with Gates can help refresh U.S. policy on the deeply unpopular war and perhaps establish a stronger rapport with the new Congress. Rumsfeld had a rocky relationship with many lawmakers.
"Secretary Rumsfeld and I agreed that sometimes it's necessary to have a fresh perspective," Bush said in the abrupt announcement during a postelection news conference.
In a later appearance at the White House with Rumsfeld and Gates at his side, Bush praised both men, thanked Rumsfeld for his service and predicted that Gates would bring fresh ideas.
"The secretary of defense must be a man of vision who can see threats still over the horizon and prepare our nation to meet them. Bob Gates is the right man to meet both of these critical challenges," Bush said.
But underscoring that he would not bow to those pushing for a quick U.S. withdrawal, Bush also said, "I'd like our troops to come home, too, but I want them to come home with victory."
In brief remarks, Rumsfeld described the Iraq conflict as a "little understood, unfamiliar war" that is "complex for people to comprehend." Upon his return to the Pentagon after appearing with Bush and Gates, Rumsfeld said it was a good time for him to leave.
"It will be a different Congress, a different environment, moving toward a presidential election and a lot of partisanship, and it struck me that this would be a good thing for everybody." Rumsfeld told reporters.
There was little outward reaction among officials at the Pentagon.
Rumsfeld speaks
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld will speak at Kansas State University at 11 a.m. today.
Admission to the 146th Landon Lecture is limited to K-State students, faculty, staff and invited guests.

beyond surprise at the abrupt announcement.
Asked whether Rumsfeld's departure signaled a new direction in a war that has claimed the lives of more than 2,800 U.S. troops and cost more than $300 billion, Bush said, "Well, there's certainly going to be new leadership at the Pentagon."
Voters appeared to be telling politicians that the sooner the war ends the better. Surveys at polling places showed that about six in 10 voters disapproved of the war and only a third believed it had improved long-term security in the United States.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said Rumsfeld was not leaving immediately. Rumsfeld planned to deliver a speech on the global war on terrorism at Kansas State University today.
Just last week Bush told reporters that he expected Rumsfeld, 74, to remain until the end of the administration's term. And although Bush said Wednesday that his decision to replace Rumsfeld was not based on politics, the announcement of a Pentagon shake-up came on the heels of Tuesday's voting.
With his often-combative defense of the war in Iraq, Rumsfeld had been the administration's face of the conflict. He became more of a target — and more politically vulnerable — as the war grew increasingly unpopular at home amid rising violence and with no end in sight.

Choi said Native Americans used tobacco for traditional purposes, such as in medicine and for ceremonies. He said the program was designed to stop Native Americans from smoking commercially, not from using smoking for cultural purposes.
Typical smoking cessation programs portray tobacco use negatively, which could alienate Native American smokers, said Christine Daley, a research assistant professor of preventive medicine who helped develop the program.

"That can be very insensitive," she said. "We tried to honor the cultural use of tobacco and at the same time emphasize the negative factors of commercial smoking."
Daley said the development of the program had been a community effort.

Briscoe, also a research associate at KU Medical Center, said he liked the parts culturally specific to Native Americans, such as the emphasis on family and family support, and a "talking circle" that involved storytelling.
"It's more about the community telling us what they want and how we can help them," she said.

ALDRICH (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Looking ahead to 2007-08. Self will add Aldrich to a front-court that could include Kaum forwards Darrell Arthur, Julian Wright and Darnell Jackson, and center Matt Kleinmann.
Aldrich wasn't the only high-profile recruit on Kansas' list. Last week Derrick Rose, a five-star guard according to Rivals.com and Scout.com, committed to Memphis over Kansas. On Wednesday, James Anderson, a five-star forward according to Scout.com, committed to Oklahoma State over Kansas.
Scout.com lists three other Kansas recruits for the 2007-08 season who have yet to sign letters of intent. Four-star guard Tyrel Reed, from Burlington High School in Burlington, is the highest ranked player left on that list. The site lists Reed as the tenth-best point guard in his class.
Nevertheless, Self is focused on the player Kansas did sign, rather than the ones it didn't.
"Cole will be an excellent addition to our frontcourt," Self said. "He has terrific size and a very high ceiling for his future. He is a true five man that is very skilled. We believe he can anchor our play on both ends of the court."

Exhibition games showcase talent of freshmen players
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
RCOLAIANNI@KANSAN.COM
It is difficult to gauge much from Kansas' two exhibition victories, simply because of the level of competition. But there were five things that caught my eye during the past week.
1. Freshmen Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur are going to contribute immediately. Tuesday against Emporia State, Collins was nearly perfect. He showed aggressiveness driving to the basket. He hit difficult driving layups and had highlight reel moves on some double clutch layins. Collins also showcased an outside range, connecting on four three-point shots. His aggressiveness on defense will complement Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson nicely. Arthur impressed me with his defense at times in both exhibitions, making spectacular blocks and showing tremendous effort. Arthur's speed as a big man is something to be noticed because when Kansas runs, he is usually at the front of the break. Arthur was also able to knock down 10-foot jumpers against Washburn. He will be relied on immediately because of the absence of Sasha Kaun, who is out with a knee injury, and the recent dismissal from the team of C.J. Giles.
2. The Kansas post defense needs to improve. Until Kaun returns, Kansas may often be at a disadvantage defending the post. Too often during the exhibitions, Emporia State and Washburn were able to execute successful post moves against Arthur, Julian Wright and Darnell Jackson. These players will need to improve quickly if Kansas hopes to compete with the size of Florida in Las Vegas in a few weeks. Arthur's lean body and long arms give him the ability to move quickly while blocking shots and give him the best chance to compete with the size the Jayhawks will see in Las Vegas. Other players should feed off of Arthur's enthusiasm and his overall effort on the floor.
3. Brandon Rush may have found his left hand. Remember last season when everyone in America knew which way Rush was going? Well, Rush has shown signs of driving to his left during the two exhibition contests. Against Emporia State, Rush drove to the basket, using his left hand, showing some quick moves switching hands. Rush eventually missed the shot, but the use of his left hand leaves room for optimism.
4. The Jayhawks look best when they run. Kansas showed difficulty running a half-court offense in the first half against Emporia State. The team opened it up in the second, thanks to quick transitions, which led to easy points. Kansas is one of the deepest teams in America and needs to use that to its advantage every week. I understand Bill Self's philosophy of running a half-court offense, but he said that his team would run more this season. Kansas likely will not face another team as deep as it is this season, and running opponents into the ground certainly appears to be an option every time Kansas takes the floor. Come the second half, Kansas will have extra legs and will have had the opportunity to rest its players until the game matters the most.
5. Bill Self is going to start cutting minutes. If you groaned every time you saw Self switch out proven players with younger guys, don't worry, it's not going to happen that often. Self said before the season that he envisioned a rotation of eight to nine players. Against Washburn, 10 players played 10 or more minutes and that was without Kaun. Don't expect that to happen during the season. Now, Self must discover which players are going to make up that rotation. The minutes of the starting lineup from last season — Robinson, Chalmers, Rush, Wright and Kaun — are safe within the rotation. Collins and Arthur also will likely be in that rotation, along with Jackson. That leaves potentially one spot in the rotation for players like Rodrick Stewart, Brady Morningstar and Jeremy Case to fight for those final minutes.

Colorado out-kills Kansas by 17, sends Hawks away with six straight losses
TREVOR WILSON
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team wore its alternate red jerseys, watched a "psych-up" video, changed its warm-up routine and had its pregame meal catered instead of going to a restaurant. But these changes weren't enough to propel the team to a victory Wednesday night against Colorado.
Colorado (14-9, 10-6 Big 12 Conference) swept Kansas (10-15, 3-13 Big) 30-25, 30-28 and 32-30 at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center in front of 981 fans.
"We were trying to find something to work," Emily Brown, junior right-side hitter, said. "But we couldn't close out game three, and we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot."
Brown had a team-high 12 kills on.333 hitting efficiency.
Kansas has lost six matches in a row, and although coach Ray Bechard is pleased with the effort his team gives he said they were playing without both "E's." The effort is there, but the execution is not.
"I think our volleyball IQ needs to be higher," he said. "It's not that we're not mentally and physically ready to play."
The Buffalooes ended the match with 17 more kills than the Jayhawks, 58-41, to win their second straight match.
With a perfectly balanced offense, Colorado took the first game from Kansas. The Buffaloes had six players with three kills in the first game.
Colorado went on a six-point run to take a ten-point advantage, 26-16, against Kansas. The Jayhawks fought back with seven unanswered points to pull within three, but that was not enough and the Buffalooes took the game by five.
In game two, the Jayhawks scored six straight points and took their first lead of the game, 18-17.
But Colorado pulled away late to take the game two by two. The Buffaloes had 17 kills compared to the Jayhawks ten.
Colorado needed to go to extra points to complete its sweep of Kansas in the final game. The Jayhawks had a 28-24 advantage late in the game, but could not come up with the final two points to win the game. Colorado took the match by two, with a .327 hitting efficiency compared to Kansas' .279.
"I was very disappointed," Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said. "I was kind of surprised we couldn't finish that game."
Correa had a double-digit performance with 10 kills and 11 digs.
Kansas has a week off before it travels to Waco, Texas for its next match against Baylor (16-11, 4-10). The Jayhawks have yet to win a road conference match this season, but they did defeat the Bears earlier this season at home.

Waterskiing team finishes fourth at nationals, despite slow start

Following a regular season marred by injuries, the team squeaked its way into regional. Then it hit its stride, advancing from regionals and finishing fourth overall at the National Collegiate Water Ski Tournament in Sacramento, Calif., Oct. 12 to 14.
The University of Kansas waterski club peaked at the right time.
"Everyone really skied their best at the end of the year," coach Kelley Scharosch said.
This year's results were completely opposite from the year before, when the team did well all year long then struggled at nationals. With injuries to some of its top performers, the team had to work hard just to qualify for the regional tournament in Decatur, Ill., by finishing in the

At the regional tournament, normally five teams qualify for nationals and Kansas barely missed out, finishing sixth. But this year two other regions each had a team advance that was unable to participate in nationals. Half the Jayhawks already had plane tickets and were planning just to watch. Then a week before the event, Kansas was chosen as one of the substitutes.

The club will put its boat away until the spring season, when competition resumes. The club will compete in tournaments throughout the spring, but instead of a national tournament, an All-Stars competition will take place, where four regions send their top 10 skiers to Seattle. Christian said the Jayhawks should be able to send three skiers from both the men's and women's sides.

Michael Beasley signs intent
Kansas State will welcome top-10 nationally ranked 6-foot-10 forward
BY ANTHONY MENDOZA ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — The No.1 high school basketball prospect in the nation was true to his word.
Michael Beasley, a 6-foot-10 forward from Washington, D.C., followed through on a verbal commitment to play for new Kansas coach Bob Huggins by signing a national letter of intent on Wednesday, the
Beasley
first day of the fall signing period.
Beasley is the jewel of a class that also includes Bill Walker, another top 10 player, and three other highly regarded perimeter prospects. Together they represent the top class in the nation, according to several recruiting services.
"I had a lot of guys tell me he was the best guy they've seen," Huggins said of Beasley. "Not just the best guy they've seen, but the best guy they've seen in a long time. There's been guys who are more athletic and do flashier things, but it's hard to find something Mike can't do well."
Beasley rivals Texas freshman forward Kevin Durant as the most sought-after recruits ever to enter the Big 12, and was considered by many a sure lottery pick if the NBA had not changed its policies regarding high school players entering the draft.
Beasley was so prized that Huggins fretted until the last minute that another school might swoop in and steal him.
"There are people who have tried to get in on most of them," said Huggins, who was hired after a highly successful run at Cincinnati to resurrect a men's basketball program that has fallen on hard times.
Beasley, who had verbally committed to Charlotte when Huggins was hired at Kansas State, changed his mind after AAU coach and Charlotte assistant Dalonte Hill joined Huggins.
The athletic big man has averaged a double-double at four different schools in as many years. This season he will be play for Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, Mass., after leading perennial powerhouse Oak Hill Academy of Virginia to a school-record 40 wins last year.
Huggins called Beasley one of the most polished high school talents he has seen, comparing him favorably to Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony.
"Mike is probably better taking it off the dribble, quite honestly," Huggins said. "Mike shoots it. I think when it comes down to winning and losing games, Mike probably feels more comfortable taking it to the basket. He's bigger than Carmelo."
Walker, a 6-foot-6 swingman, is
considered part of the 2007 class, but he took an accelerated academic course load during the fall and becomes eligible when the second semester at Kansas State official begins.
Walker signed an official aid agreement with the Wildcats on Nov. 3 and will be eligible to play Dec. 17 against Kennesaw State.
"I've watched him a bunch and he really can shoot it, but he just has so much confidence in taking it to the goal," said Huggins, who recruited Walker during his year away from coaching. "He's kind of been that kind of player his whole life. He's just been attack oriented and attacks the rim, which is terrific."
The duo is joined by shooting guard Fred Brown of Dwyer High in West Palm Beach, Fla., point guard Jacob Pullen from storied Proviso East in Maywood, IL., and forward Dominique Sutton of The Patterson School in Durham, N.C. All three signed letters of intent on Wednesday.
"This is going to wind up as the marquee basketball recruiting class in the history of Kansas State basketball," said Scout.com recruiting analyst Dave Telep, who ranked the class No. 1 in the country. "This is truly new territory for this program to sign two players that rank in the top-10 nationally at their respective position. This class will define the Bob Huggins era at Kansas State."

2 BOULDER, Colo. — CU football is a program in transition. The Buffs have just one win in more than a year's time - a victory
While the team has two wins in each of the five-game stretches, more pressure has been placed on the Baylor offense to keep the Bears in games.
But CU football coach Dan Hawkins said Tuesday the Buffs' struggles on the field haven't translated to meager returns on the recruiting trail.
Boulder as it now stands is not exactly a prototypical football haven for incoming recruits.
("Recruiting has) been fine, it really has," the head coach said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. "I think that those kids know what's going on and
we know what's going on. Their coaches know what's going
— their parents know what's going on,"
With three months until national signing day in February, Hawkins said the final total of recruits for CU could bulge as high as 31. According to Rivals.com, CU currently has the 21st ranked recruiting class in the nation. But there is still a long way to go before signning day in February.
According to Rivals.com, eight recruits visited CU last weekend and two — offensive lineman Matt Bahr and running back Brian Lockridge — made a verbal commitment to CU and Hawkins on Monday. Lockridge and Bahr are teammates at Mission Viejo High School (Calif).
CU will say goodbye to 23 seniors this weekend at Folsom Field when CU plays Iowa State at 1 p.m in its home season finale. This weekend's game could be considered as the battle for last place in the Big 12 as Iowa State comes in losing its last five games has yet to win a conference game. Given the current situation, it might seem easy to look forward to next year. Hawkins, though, is adamant he remains focused on the task at hand.

Football coach tired of media negativity
3
AMES, Iowa — ISU football coach Dan McCarney's message to the gathered media at his weekly Monday press
conference was simple — this is about me, not my players. And please leave them out of it.
"All this negativity can be almost overwhelming to young kids, and I'd really appreciate it if when you talk to the players and the kids on this team that you would stay away from asking them about my future and my coaches' future," McCarney said.
"I'd really appreciate it if you're zero in on these last two games, instead of trying to get a vote out of the kids whether they believe in us or trust in us or what's here for the future. It's a burdens they don't need to bear right now."
With all the uncertainty surrounding McCarney and his assistants' jobs, it's starting to interfere with the plovers' focus.
"It's a complete distraction," McCarney said. "They're emotionally sapped right now. When you
have a football family who doesn't care about one another or the coaches, then it's not that big a deal. But that's not the case here."
Although Athletic Director Jamie Pollard has said he will wait until the end of the season to make a decision about the football program's future. McCarny wanted to make sure the attention during the final two weeks of the season was on his team and players, not on whether there will be a different face prowling the ISU sideline next season.
Now Iowa State is on the verge of finishing 0-8 in the Big 12 for the second time in four years. The Cyclones' final two games come against 1-9 Colorado and 7-3 Missouri.
"I just want to do everything I can to finish this up strong for these kids," McCarney said.

But the first tackle is the one that stood out.
"Before the game, I was a little nervous, but when I went in and I had a tackle, I became a player," Culbert said. "I didn't want to let the fans down; I just wanted to play. I just wanted to have fun. And when you have fun, you play. I don't think about my assignments, and hopefully, I don't mess up."
NU Coach Bill Callahan said Culbert looked mature on the field, not just in the physical plays he made but also in his concentration and focus.
But Callahan said Tuesday morning he did not yet know if Culbert would fit intoNU's scheme this weekend against Texas A&M. He said the decision would depend on what aspects of the Aggies' offense the Huskers decide to exploit and what defensive schemes that will require
To Culbert, there is no reason why Nebraska should walk out of College Station, Texas, without a win.

FANTASY FOOTBALL THURSDAY
The Kansas City Chiefs have a quarterback controversy with fantasy implications
There's a heated debate about who should be the Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback for the rest of the season: Damon Huard or Trent Green. It's gotten to the point where, because it's been election season, I've been half expecting to see commercials on TV where Huard questions Green's voting record on Medicare then says "I'm Damon Huard, and I approved this message, because Kansas City needs a leader you can depend on."
Earlier in the season Edwards said that Green would come back to be his starting quarterback when he was healthy. But earlier this week he wasn't sure, saying that he didn't have to make that decision yet.
Being the geek that I am, I've been asking myself who the better fantasy football quarterback is. And, when you think about it, a good fantasy football quarterback is one who throws touchdowns, limits turnovers and moves the ball down the field. Those are all qualities that you would look for in a real quarterback as well. So, perhaps analyzing the quarterback controversy from a fantasy perspective will help coach Herm Edwards make the right decision Nov. 19 when Green is healthy and ready against the Oakland Raiders.
<u>Using a scoring system of 30</u>
yards per point, four points for a touchdown and minus two points for a turnover. Huard has averaged 11.8 fantasy points per game this year. Astonishingly, during Green's tenure in Kansas City, he has averaged exactly 11.8 fantasy points per game as well, with a high of 14.1 per game in 2004. Well, there goes that idea.
Perhaps the numbers above could be put into context. Green was protected by Willie Roaf, a pro-bowl-caliber offensive linemen. He handed the ball off to Priest Holmes, and later to
Without Roaf, Huard has been "protected" by a patchwork offensive line featuring the likes of Jordan Black, Kevin Sampson, Chris Bober and Kyle Turley. He's being giving the ball to Larry Johnson, who's been held to 68 yards or fewer in almost half of his starts, and he has an offensive coordinator — Mike Solari — who would rather repeat-

arry Johnson. He also threw close to 40 touchdown passes to tight end Tony Gonzalez, who was the best in the league. And, perhaps most importantly of all, he had offensive guru Al Saunders in the booth calling his plays. Saunders loves to implement new gimmicks for Trent to throw the ball down field, allowing him to pile up yardage.
Huard, on the other hand, hasn't had Roaf, whose absence has created a question about who will protect the quarterback's blind side.
edly pound the ball between the tackles than take a chance throwing the ball downfield. Given these circumstances, it's practically a miracle that Huard has equaled Green's
stats so far.
Looking beyond the fantasy football perspective, Huard is 5-2, a .714 winning percentage, in his career as Kansas City's starter, while Green is 44-38, a .537 winning percentage. Huard has proven to be a fiery leader and an excellent game manager. Additionally, Trent Green suffered a severe concussion. Similar concussions have affected quarterbacks like Troy Aikman, Steve Young and Chris Chandler in a negative way, altering the paths of their careers.
Starting Green would leave Edwards with nothing to gain and everything to lose. If Green plays well, he'll probably only match Huard's stats. If Green plays poorly, Eduwards will be ripped apart by fans for switching quarterbacks and ruining the chemistry of a Chiefs team that seems to be peaking. Taking the previous factors into consideration make it obvious that Huard is the Chiefs quarterback with the most fantasy value.
That being said, Green's goldenboy status in Kansas City combined with Huard's looming free agency at the end of the year will complicate the situation for Edwards. Edwards could be pressured to show loyalty and appreciation to Green for all he done in Kansas City. But Edwards wasn't brought in to be a nice guy. He was brought in to win football games, and Huard gives him the best chance to do that. The coach's only saving grace could be that with Johnson plowing through defenses and Gonzalez turning back the hands of time to find his 2004 form, it might not matter which quarterback he starts.
Hengel is an Overland Park senior in finance.

Kansas City Chiefs' Damon Huard has performed well in place of injured-starting-quarterback Trent Green. When comparing fantasy numbers, Green and Huard are exactly the same, averaging 11.8 fantasy points per game as Kansas City's starter.

》 PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES
NFL quarterback conveys 2006 election toss-ups
BY FRED LIEF ASSOCIATED PRESS
Former NFL quarterback Heath Shuler had a theory about his win in a U.S. House race.
"They talk about these sports analogies that I use, but let me tell you what." Shuler said in his victory speech. "It is about teamwork."
Shuler beat a Republican incumbent for a congressional spot in North Carolina, track great Jim Ryun lost his race and Super Bowl star Lynn Swann fell short Tuesday in elections involving ex-athletes.
Shuler's race had been considered a josup, and was one of the closely watched campaigns in the effort by Democrats to regain control of the House of Representatives.
Ryun, a Kansas Republican and once the world-record holder in the mile, lost in his bid for a sixth term in the House.
"I am really, really grateful for all that you have done," Ryan said in conceding. "There are so many rich stories and rich memories. I cherish those."
Swann, the Hall of Fame receiver whose football career was one long string of successes, was beaten in his bid to become *Pennsylvania's governor.
Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning, the Hall of Fame pitcher, does not go before voters until 2010. Tom Osborne, the former Nebraska congressman and longtime Cornhuskers football coach, lost in a gubernatorial primary.

"He said, 'I'm sending a check,' Mulcahy said.
"I think it's a reaction that's in many ways almost an overreaction." Mulcahy said. "They wanted this for so long, the minute they could taste something, it was, 'Boom.'"

'What's this guy smoking today?' Schiano said this week. "But the alternative is to sit there and say, 'Well, I don't know, we'll see.' So I think that kind of thinking is what carries you through the tough times, and it gives you a consistency that in the athletics world is hugely important."
Thursday's game will be the second in consecutive weeks that pits
two undefeated Big East teams, after Louisville's 44-34 defeat of then-No. 3 West Virginia last Thursday. The wintailed Louisville (-0) to thirdplace in the Bowl Championship Series standings, but detractors still question the conference's strength.
"What we feel is that we went out on the field and played great football," Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. "We've played everybody we went up against and did a nice job. Our players here listen and are certainly motivated. We probably need to get (ESPN analyst) Lee Corso to keep talking about us."
Louisville (8-0) has already entered uncharted territory with its highest ranking and spot in the thick of the national title race.
A win by Rutgers (8-0) would dash Louisville's title hopes and move the Scarlet Knights into the national championship discussion.
While Louisville's win over West Virginia is viewed as a defining moment in the program's history, Rutgers is coming into the game off one of its worst performances of the season. The Scarlet Knights beat Connecticut 24-13 two Sundays ago with only one offensive touchdown.

Miami Hurricane team mourns loss of player Police investigation continues for Bryan Pata
BY TIM REYNOLDS ASSOCIATED PRESS
Normal wasn't possible
Wednesday.
"They felt like Bryan would want to practice. They felt like Bryan would want to play," Miami coach Larry Coker said. "That's a decision that we respected, and I think it's the right decision. We've talked to a lot of teams that have had tragedies, and the thing that they've all said is 'You've got to get back.'"
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The plan called for the Miami Hurricanes to have a normal practice, two hours of working on third-down blitz packages and kickoff returns.
Pata, 22, was shot to death Tuesday night outside his off-campus apartment, less than two hours after practice and an informal team dinner ended. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound defensive lineman was found dead in the apartment complex's parking lot when police arrived, and detectives ruled it a homicide.
Det. Roy Rutland, spokesman for the Miami-Dade County Police Department, said police searched Pata's apartment after the shooting. He would not provide any details about what officers sought and what was found. No other details were released.
Less than 24 hours after Bryan Pata, one of the Hurricanes' most respected players, was killed outside his apartment, his team was back on the football field, preparing for Saturday's game at No. 23 Maryland.
"The investigators are following all leads, and the release of any information at this time could compromise the investigation," Rutland said Wednesday.
Coker said two assistant coaches came into his office and told him the news shortly after the shooting.
"It's something you never anticipate, never," Coker said. "You expect maybe a sprained ankle but nothing more than that. Just
total shock. We had practice, then we had dinner after practice with the players. Just total shock."
Players returned to the athletic complex shortly after learning of Pata's death and stayed for several hours. They met with team chaplains and grief counselors, and several teammates were interviewed by Miami-Dade police detectives.
The Hurricanes have dealt with plenty of problems this season, including a July shooting in which safety Willie Cooper was slightly injured and a sideline-clearing brawl last month in a game against Florida International.
"It's spiritual, but God's not going to give you more than you can handle," Coker said. "And I'm just disappointed that he trusts us so much, because we've been getting a lot to handle."
Miami players were not available for comment after practice Wednesday. They walked off the field nearly in total silence, with some peeling off their orange, green and white jerseys before shuffling into the locker room.
Pata was the second UM student to be killed in the last week; senior John Warnecke died last Thursday in a car crash.
A memorial service for Pata was scheduled for noon Nov. 15, and former teammates expressed shock and outrage over his killing.
"It's a product of ignorant individuals and stupid people who don't care about life," said Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jerome McDougle, a former Miami standout and a South Florida native. "It's tragic. I feel for him and his family."
Well-wishes also poured in from around the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Commissioner John Swofford released a statement offering prayers to Pata's family and the UM community, while many of the league's players and coaches expressed their condolences to Coker and the Hurricanes.

note.
For three wonderful years I lived in an apartment above the Mad Greek on Massachusetts Street. My landlord was even more wonderful than the apartment itself.
George owned the restaurant below us, so he was always concerned when something went wrong above his business. We broke a cabinet door and he had it fixed in less than 24 hours. Our drain was clogged, and he took apart the sink himself. When hail smashed through our skylight, he had it promptly repaired.
We often couldn't understand George over our cell phones because of his thick Greek accent, but when he came over to the apartment, he would tell us stories about Greece.He told us about nightclubs with big swimming pools and fancy people,about his family overseas and his travels.

History of Long Island Iced Tea:
There's no reason you can't enjoy a Long Island Iced Tea in the fall. The cocktail is made with vodka, gin, tequila, rum, triple sec, sour mix and cola. Chris Bendicksen, a bartender at the Oak Beach Inn nightclub in Long Island, N.Y., credits himself with inventing the drink in the late 1970s. However, some suggest that the Long Island Iced Tea was invented during the Prohibition era because of its resemblance to regular, non-alcoholic Iced tea. But don't let the resemblance fool you -- the Long Island Iced tea actually has a much higher alcohol concentration than more recent) because

OH, THE HORROR
NOTICE
by Bart Vandever
An inside look at the college cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show
by Burt VanDusen
ROCKY HORROR FACTS
Upon its original release, the movie was a box office disappointment and was panned by critics.
The film was based on a long-running stage production of Rocky Horror across England.
Susan Sarandon and Meat Loaf are in the film.
In 2005, The United States National Film Preservation Board added The Rocky Horror Picture to the National Film Registry.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show cost $1 million to make and has taken in more than $135 million in box office receipts since its release.
The film was shot in an English castle, that is now a hotel.
The Museum Lichtspiele in Munich, Germany has been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for screening the movie without interruption since Sept. 19,1975.

Bad movies are released all the time. Most of them have been relegated to the bargain bins in Walt Disney and rental stores across the globe. However, every so often, there is a bad film that comes along, destined to be a cult classic. One of these films is a little sci-fi musical about transvestites — The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
A large amount of Rocky Horror's appeal lies in the unique interactive dimension of the film. The picture show takes on a whole new life with its audience, and fans annually undergo the Rocky Horror rituals.
On Oct. 30, Student Union Activities screened The Rocky Horror Picture Show to a crowded ballroom in the Kansas Union. At the door, participants were handed plastic bags filled with noisemakers.
old bread, rice, newspaper and rubber gloves — all to be used or thrown at the screen during certain scenes.
A dance party ensued with people wriggling in lingerie, wigs and makeup — even the males.

OTHER GREAT CULT CLASSICS
Plus-sized women in pumps and miniskirts cavorted about and shirtless muscle men in panty hose humped the air in a room that also contained an array of horse whips, surgical masks and sexy maid uniforms. People recited strange dialogue during the film and threw items from their goody bags at the screen during certain parts.
Although the film is now 31 years old most fans are, and have always been, college-aged says William A. Henkin, a sex therapist and author of the 1979 The Rocky
rebel nature, and it's a rebellious age in college. There just aren't that many new 50-year-old radicals."
Chelsea Johnson, Hutchinson senior, has seen the film 20 times. She agrees that there is no real meaning in the film, but instead
Horror Picture Show Book. Even through vast scholarly study, Henkin found no real"messages" within the film. Instead he found that the movie fascinates our basic instincts, which are most evident in young adults. "It appeals to people"
Rocky Horror works on another level for college students."We have to be so straight-laced in everyday life, and so the Rocky Horror theater experience is a great outlet for the perseverance in all of us." Johnson has dressed up for the Halloween screening every year since her first viewing in 2003. For this year's show, she donned a corset and thong.
For those "virgins" to the Rocky Horror plot, the movie follows young, all-American newlyweds Brad and Janet. After their wedding, the duo is stranded in the middle of nowhere and is forced to enter a spooky old castle for help. There, they meet an array of Transylvanian transvestites, including the perverted master of the house, Dr. Frank N. Furter. Soon, the couple encounters Furter's muscle-bound, blond-haired sex slave, Rocky. Sexual mayhem ensues for all parties.
SUA has shown the film annually since its release in 1975. Adam Collins, director public relations for SUA, has yet to see the film, but he understands its popularity. "It's become more than just a movie," the Paola junior says. "It's become part of American culture."
The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been a cult classic since 1975. SUA has screened the film every year since its release.

Laura Wexler
Year: 1997
Hometown: Baltimore
Degree: Master of Arts in English
Back in the Day: One memory Wexler has from her time as an aspiring writer at the University of Kansas is seeing legendary beat generation writers William S.Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg appear together during a festival for Burroughs's art in 1996, less than a year before they both died.
Some of the most influential classes Wexler took at the University included cultural studies classes with Cheryl Lester, director of the American
studies program,and a class with now-retired American studies professor Dennis Domer about the homespun architecture of Kansas,which included a driving tour of the state.
Why she's a big deal: Wexler wrote a book, Fire in a Canebrake: The Last Mass Lynching in America, that was published in 2003 to national acclaim. It was about a lynching of four young blacks — two men, two women — in 1946 in Walton County, Ga. The crime stands as the last known lynching of its size in the United States.
Wexler had recently moved to Athens, Ga., in 1997 when she heard about the unsolved, decades-old lynching. She initially decided to write an article about the crime, but when she started interviewing people she quickly learned that she had discovered an important, untold story that could be developed into a book. "People had a lot of ideas about what happened, but no one had collected the facts," she says."So I decided to do that."
Today: Wexler is a senior editor at Style magazine in Baltimore. She also teaches creative non-fiction at Johns Hopkins University and Goucher College
Earlier this year, she and a friend founded the Stoop Storytelling Series, a series of performances in which seven people tell true, personal stories on a theme. A couple of themes so far have included On the Road: Tales About Traveling Anywhere, Somewhere, and Nowhere At All, and, for Halloween, Scary Stories: Tales About Fear.
Wexler says finding people with interesting stories isn't difficult."It's a continuation of a lot of the same things I've been doing as a non-fiction writer," she says.
She is also researching the pioneering work in sex change surgery at Johns Hopkins University in the 1960s, and might develop the topic into a book.

KNOW YOUR ABCS
It’s their job, but it could be your ass.
by Katherine Loerk
A shiny gold badge is discreetly flashed, and we're in. Virgil Weigel stands alone in a corner at Phoggy Dog, 2228 Iowa St. With his right arm resting on a table and his left hand on his hip, he watches the crowd with an authoritative face. Karen Price, his partner, patrols the bar like she owns the place. Within five minutes, Price approaches two tall, brown-haired, baby-faced, alcohol consuming males. She identifies herself and asks to see their IDs. They give her two fakes. She asks for the real thing. Taking a freshly poured plastic Bud Light pitcher and mixed drink from their possession, Price leads the minors outside.
"We're in Army ROTC," one male says. "I turn 21 in one month; he's in three months. If we get in trouble, we'll be kicked out of the program. Is there a possibility we won't get charged?"
"Not really," Price says.
Tonight is slower than usual. At 7:35 on a rainy Wednesday evening, Weigel drives around Lawrence in his navy blue minivan with tinted windows so dark they could be on Donald Trump's
limousine.He wears khakis,a gray jersey knit shirt and glasses.The only thing that gives him away is the Glock semi-automatic pistol that peels out from under his black jacket. He's somebody's grandfather, but if you're under 21,he may be your worst enemy.
Undercover, I cruised the town with him, scouting for alcohol-consuming youngsters. "It's not a big night, but then again, you never know," Weigel says. "It's hump night for a lot of people."
Alcoholic Beverage Control is part of the Kansas Department of Revenue. There are 20 ABC enforcement agents for the state and each is a certified law enforcement officer with statewidejurisdiction.The differenceis that their assignments primarily focus on alcohol laws."One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is the whole 'you guys aren't real cops' thing," Price says."We have total police power."
To check for minors violating the Liquor Control Act, ABC agents check bars and do exterior liquor store surveillance. They also do interior surveillance, such as acting as clerks to prevent liquor stores from accidentally selling to minors.
I feel like a stalker hanging out in the parking lot of the first of seven liquor stores we'll visit that night, but Weigel has been doing this for 21 years. We watch customers come and go, carefully observing every car that pulls up. Weigel cracks his dark window just enough to see each face clearly. Later, as "Jack and Diane" plays over the radio, a small blonde girl gets out of a black Lexus, runs inside. "Oh yeah, she's young. She's never gonna make it." Price says.
Because of the rain, we couldn't see if she was carrying alcohol when she exited the store.This one got away.
A computer randomly selects liquor licensees from around the state for visits. Some places show up every time, some never show up, Price says. They also select places with prior complaints or where they know there's a problem, she says.
When the ABC is in town, rumors circulate and phones start ringing. An agent could be in town on any given night, but it depends on what events are going on. At big football games like KU versus K-State, there could be two or three
agents at the game, Weigel says."We try to go to as many places as we can. We don't target just one or two bars."
I ask Weigel if he would approach me at a bar. He chuckles."That depends,"he says. It depends on if you look young, how you behave and who you are with."We have a large idea of what we are looking for."
Katie, Wichita junior, was caught at a bar when she was 20. A Lawrence Police Officer wrote her a ticket for possessing a fake ID while drinking water at Quinton's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St. Then, the officer told her she could reenter the bar in 15 minutes — at midnight on her 21st birthday.
Ankita Trivedi, Olathe junior, works the door at Liquid, 806 W. 24th St. ABC officers visit the bar once every couple of weeks and they blend in well, she says."The actual officers just look like adults coming into the bar to drink."
When a minor gets busted, the ABC fills out an informational report that is submitted to the city prosecutor's office. "Once we've submitted it, it's out of our hands," Weigel says. "Ultimately, it's up to the city if they prosecute
or not." About 95 percent are
prosecuted, he says.
The minor in possession statute includes the attempt to purchase and the attempt to possess alcohol. If you walk up to the liquor store counter, you can get in trouble, Welgel says. However, in a bar, you have to be in possession of alcohol to be confronted by an ABC officer. You can set your drink down to avoid the cops, but if the agent saw you in possession before you set it down, you're more screwed than your screwdriver. You could be five years old in a bar because there's not a state law that says you have to have an ID to be in a bar, Price says. This rule is created by Individual establishments.
Jose Terrazas makes deliveries for Cork & Barrel Wine and Spirits, 2000 W. 23rd St, and thinks the store is unfairly targeted by the ABC. He rarely sees ABC agents inside the store, but they're pretty-sneaky about it, he says. But the liquor clerks aren't necessarily on your side either. Cork and Barrel employees get paid about $20 for every fake ID they confiscate.
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/MICHELLE GRITTMAN Kansas's Alcoholic Beverage Control has 20 enforcement agents for the state. The ABC visits local bars and liquor stores, enforcing the Liquor Control Act.
Weigel doesn't consider himself a bad guy. He's doing his job to prevent people who are underage from drinking, driving and killing someone out on the highway, he says."I don't consider that a bad thing."
Price thinks her job is important, but she doesn't like it when people get upset. In some sense, underage drinking causes a lot of problems in Lawrence, she says. People younger than 21 know what the law is and they know what will happen if they get caught. It's just like speeding or any other violation.
You won't see an ABC agent drinking on the job, but they can skip the bar lines and the cover charge. If you like watching people and their oddities, it's a great job, Price says.
Price and Weigel give the same advice to minors out there eagerly awaiting that monumental day of freedom: "Don't drink until you're 21."

(MORTIFYING MOMENT)
Kate von Achen, 2006 graduate, has always wanted to try peeing in a urinal. She's been to several countries that have "squat toiletts," so she was confident she would be successful if she ever tried. Recently, in a drunken stupor and dressed as a sailor, she did pee in a urinal in the bathroom at the Bourgeois Pig, 6 E. Ninth St., her place of employment. The next morning she awoke to an email that contained photographic evidence of her late-night triumph.

HIT THE SLOPES CLOSE TO HOME Snow Creek gives skiers and snowboarders a place to practice.
For Kristen Smullins, the fun was all about practicing on the terrain park. It was there that the 2006 graduate honed her snowboarding skills on rails, jumps and quarter
pipes.On regular runs, however, Smullins would simply point her board down the hill and arrive at the end in about a minute.
Smullins worked at Snow Creek Ski Resort for the two seasons before she graduated. Local skiers and boarders don't have to make the trek through western Kansas to the peaks of Colorado. Just northeast of Leavenworth on Highway 45, Snow Creek is only a day trip away.

Snow Creek will expand this year with Tornado Ally, a 600 foot tubing run set off to the east of the primary skis runs.
More efficient and expensive snow making machines have created more efficient and expensive snow, which has increased business, Joan Falk, lodge administrator, says. The Snow Creek snow makers have learned better ways of positioning the machines so the wind will dust the mountain with more snow of a higher quality through the years.
For snowboarders and skiers, especially those who have the level of expertise required for using the terrain parks, Snow Creek can serve as an interim alternative before going out west. The target date for opening the park is Dec. 16. Just be glad it's a hill — this isn't the Rockies.

There are good landlords and land. There are also good tenants and hellions who destroy fabulous apartments. Knowing your rights and responsibilities as a renter is an important part of the process finding a place to live. Do your research so you don't end up with house like Palm's.
When she went upstairs to her room, Palm saw why the old nants had so many posters and decorations on the ceiling; stains from leaky pipes formed a moldy rosace above her head. Palm couldn't take a bath because the rain didn't work, but there was no hot water anyway. The last tenant's let rabbit even left welcome gifts in the form of poop pellets peeked on the floor.
Palm and her roommates complained to the landlord so much the first days of August that they were allowed to break their lease so the landlord wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. Palm and her ends moved out of the house four days after moving in.

WHERE TO GO TO
DECODE YOUR LEASE
The search begins When you've found
apartment that seems perfect, there are steps you should take to ensure your continued happiness.
Start by doing a walk-through of the apartment you are interested in. It's a good idea to look at it in person. "I always check to make sure carpets are clean, walls are clean, if it has a good-sized kitchen and I have to have a peephole in
--the door for safety," Alyson Ecklund, Gig Harbor, Wash., junior, says.
By doing a walk-through yourself, you can catch little things like carpet stains or slow drains and bring it to your landlord's attention before you sign a lease.
Kathryn Klausen, Topeka junior, learned the importance of a walkthrough when she rented an apartment two years ago. After she signed the lease, her landlord told her that the apartment she had wanted was actually already taken and gave her the one above it. "Every possible thing that could have gone wrong did," Klausen says. The kitchen faucet leaked, the freezer in the refrigerator leaked, the claw-foot tub was chipped, the windows and doors were warped, the wood was peeling from the awful paint job and there were ants in the kitchen, she says. If she had been shown the apartment she rented, she would never have signed the lease.
Learn from Klausen's mistake.
Take a good look at what you're getting before you lock yourself into a lease and a crappy apartment.
Reading the lease is very important before signing on the dotted line.The Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act provides a list of things that should be in a lease.
Read what you sign
Get a copy of the act and go
over it before locking yourself into a lease, advises Bill Larzalere, attorney at Legal Services for Students (LSS).
The name of the landlord, the name of the tenant or tenants, the length of the leasing agreement and the scheduled move-out date should be clearly stated in the lease.
Check your lease for an automatic renewal clause which will keep you locked into the same apartment for another year The lease may renew unless you tell your landlord otherwise. A renewal clause can even take effect four months before you are scheduled to move so if you have a renewal clause, make sure to communicate with your landlord early as to when you plan to move out.
The lease should also contain the deposit amount. The landlord can use your deposit to fix any damages you caused to the property. If you hold up your end of the bargain, you should get this money back when you move out.
The Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act lays out exactly how much your deposit should be. For a furnished apartment, the deposit should be one-and-a-half times one month's rent. With a pet, you can be charged up to two months' rent. In an unfurnished apartment, the deposit may be up to one month's rent or one-and-a-half month's rent with a pet.
Before you bring Fluffy to your new crib, though, check the lease for your landlord's pet policy. Some students have fallen into traps in the past and have paid multiple deposits for multiple pets, Larzalere says. "The way I understand the act, it states that there is one deposit for pets, whether it be one or more." Larzalere says. He also cautions tenants to watch out for landlords who charge a monthly pet fee — the fee is completely against the code.
To understand every part of your lease, talk to your landlord and ask questions. It's even a good idea to bring a copy of your lease to LSS, Larzalere says. An attorney can go over the lease with you and make sure you understand it

and it is in compliance with the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. This service is free for students.
Checkin'in
Once you have packed up the last box into the U-Haul, there's more to do before you start nesting in your new pad. The Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act requires landlords to provide tenants with a checklist inventory of the condition of the rental property. Either by yourself or with your landlord, you must check off each item on the list and document any stain, chip or smudge in the place. The checklist should be divided by room and contain every aspect of that room including the stove-top for the kitchen or the ceiling fan in your bedroom. This list must be completed within five days of moving into your new place. Be honest and thorough because when you move out, your landlord will use that same list to determine what damage you caused. Damage charges can be pretty high so make sure you cover all bases.
Mike Kern, landlord of Kern Management, knows that students don't have a lot of money and has tried to make this process easier for his tenants. "We provide a checkout list that shows charges for holes in walls, carpet and stuff like that," Kern says. Knowing what a fist through the wall costs may also deter students from taking
After you've completed the list, give it to your landlord and let him or her know of any repairs you need at that time. Landlords should know of any problems on their property during the time you live there. "Even if it's a small problem and you don't want to bother them about it, give them a heads-up," Kern says. This could avoid a potentially bigger problem later. Even if you caused the damage, you should let your property manager know.
Lisa Larson, Lawrence landlord, has seen her share of student-related damage. "We've had a garbage disposal broken because someone put a shot glass down there," Larson says. She sent someone out to fix it, and the student was handed the bill.
Emergencles relating to heating, cooling, water or electricity should be brought to your landlord's attention immediately. These could cause a lot of damage to your apartment or house. However, when you break the knob on the oven when you are making a midnight pizza wait until morning to call — unless the oven won't turn off.
By keeping up with repairs in your residence, you will be more likely to have your deposit refunded at the end of your lease.
Before you turn in your keys and reload that U-Haul, there is usually a list of tasks you must complete to check out.
Movin'on out
Many landlords complain about the lack of cleaning when students move out. Larson says that it is not uncommon to have students take off and go back home in May or move out in August without completing the stuff on the cleaning list that her tenants receive. Cleaning up your mess is an easy way for landlords to put your deposit to use. Cleaning fees, repairs and replacing things require more moolah than many students realize. "There is a lack of respect for the property. We see it more and more every year. It's discouraging," Larson says.
Your apartment, house or loft should be left in the condition that you found it in. It should be clean and ready for the next tenants. By leaving it a mess, you may be forefiting your deposit and delaying the next tenant's move-in.
Knowing the rights and responsibilities for you and your landlord will help you to have an easy renting experience. Find a place — and a landlord — that fits your personality and make sure you know what your lease says before you sign your life away. Most of all, be a good renter. This is college. Your mom isn't here to clean up your messes.
Stress-free living
Find out where the main water valve is at your place, Mark Kern of Kern Management says. That way if there is ever a busted pipe or running toilet, damage can be kept to a minimum.
Make sure to get the phone numbers of your landlord. Rachel Drake, Haven junior, says."I know we call a lot," Drake says.
HELPFUL TIPS FOR RENTERS
It is important to keep yourself at a noise level that will allow others to enjoy their peace and quiet, says Mike McCabe, a leasing agent for First Management.
---
Make sure to note the day you have to move out, Lisa Larson, Lawrence landlord, says. Just because your lease began on Aug. 1, doesn't mean that it ends on July 31.
Landlord is to talk to the people who already live there, Bill Larzalea, attorney at Legal Services for Students, says. Talk to past tenants, neighbors and

THE FEMALE
by Rikki Kite
A peek under the hood of the elusive female orgasm
Betty Dodson recently taught an 80-year-old woman how to masturbate and have an orgasm. The woman's husband died five years ago, and even though they had a long, loving sex life together, she had never experienced an orgasm.
This elderly woman is in good company. The majority of KU women will not experience anorgasm before they graduate, but what they may not realize is that they hold the keys to climax in their own hands.
HOW CAN WE EXPECT MEN TO KNOW WHAT WE LIKE WHEN WE HAVE A DIFFERENT SET OF GENITALS THAN THEY DO? BETTY DODSON, SEX THERAPIST AND EDUCATOR

"A handful of women come from their vaginas," Dodson says, "but the majority do not." Vibrators may help a woman achieve orgasm, but even with these handy tools, it may take
has been a sex educator for decades, creating erotic art in the '60s, advocating women's sexual liberation in the '70s, holding "Bodysex Groups" as a sex therapist in the '80s, and now she has a Ph.D. in Sexology and provides handson, private sessions with women to help them achieve orgasms. "How can we expect men to know what we like when we have a different set of genitals than they do?" Dodson says.
Forget about the myth that the right partner will come along and send you to the moon with his sexual prowess. Women must learn about their own sex organs, Dodson says, and what it takes to turn them on is different for each woman.
The key is that women orgasm from clitoral stimulation, she says. "We maintain the old sex myths and fake orgasms and let men think that we come from our vaginas, but we don't," she says. Climaxing can happen in different ways with a partner, like various sex positions, touching and stroking the clitoris or oral stimulation, but before she can even begin to show a partner what she

she says. If you need to, take a vibrator to bed with you and your partner,
she says. If your partner is turned off by what gets you off,
Dodson suggests you tell your fellow,
"Look buddy,
this is what
turns me on. You want to look at Playboy and jerk off, and I want to use my vibrator on my clitoris."
Ali, St. Louis junior, says that she's never had an orgasm, a fact that bothers her partner. "Men have been taught that it's their job to give women orgasms," says Dennis Dailey, professor emeritus and marriage and sex therapist."Do men give women orgasms? Hell no. They are in the area when they happen. Guys, it's not your job to give women orgasms," Dailey says.
This isn't to say, that a partner plays no role in helping a woman have an orgasm. Women need to be more willing to say exactly what they need, and their partners should be willing to follow some directions, Dalley says.
Studies indicate that about 99 percent of male students will have had orgasms by the time they graduate, compared to about 30 percent of their female counterparts, Dalley says. But he'd prefer that every KU graduate walks down the Hill with the ability to give him- or herself an orgasm. Some of this disparity between our ability

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 to have orgasms can be explained by our roles in evolution, he says. The male orgasm is programmed for procreation, whereas the female orgasm is just for fun.
People could all be having a lot more fun, though, if it weren't for the social pressures around them. The pressure for men to make their partners climaxcombined
on the off chance this should happen between two lovers, "They're fucking lucky." When it comes to helping a woman climax, size really doesn't matter, particularly since most

with the pressure for women to reach climax during intercourse is a climax-killing combo, Dailey says. "The idea of two human beings having orgasms at the same time is biologically ridiculous," Dailey says. But
women climax because of some form of clitoral stimulation, he says.
What about the G-spot?
"It's generally a male construct," Dailey says. "It's men hunting for a new place
on women for them to tweak, and they get the credit for making them come."
Guys, this is really good news for you — your girl is behind the wheel of her own orgasm, and you can forget about performance and just enjoy the ride. However, even though you aren't actually in the driver's seat, this is a situation when asking for directions could help you — and your partner — both get there. You probably won't arrive at the same time, but when it comes to orgasms, it's as much about the ride as it is the destination.

DON'T WASH YOUR HAIR EVERY DAY.
Not washing your hair every day could be beneficial to sustain your hair's nutrients. For both men and women, shampooing and conditioning three times a week is sufficient to keep hair healthy, says Bri McClure, stylist at Absolu Salon and Spa, 3727 W. Sixth St. St. takes out natural oils, which moisturize during dry months.

she says. These oils are also essential for preserving color. If you want to keep your natural greases but are worried about sporting oily hair, try wetting it down on days you don't wash it and massaging the scalp to get rid of shine.

DID YOU KNOW.
Some antibiotics and vitamins interfere with the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. If you're taking multiple medications at the same time, it's harder for the body to absorb all of them as it normally would, says Cathy Thrasher, pharmacist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, 1200 Schwegler Drive. If you don't want to get pregnant, be sure to tell your
doctor and pharmacist if you are taking other medications and use backup birth control until the antibiotic gets out of your system. Thrasher says.
Ask your doctor when it's all right to rely on your birth control again.

Rebecca Lafferty, Hellsville senior, uses art galleries as a way to get to know her friends better. She goes to the Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 E. Eighth St., because of its small, intimate setting, she says.
Lafferty and a friend check out the art at their own pace, and then get together at the end to discuss what they liked about the artist's style and which pieces they enjoyed.
"I bring a friend that isn't as into art as I am, but still appreciates it," she says. "I always have my

own opinions and reaction, but I'm interested in my friend's reaction."
Although the public is welcome to view the art free of charge, the gallery is a business that generates revenue from selling art. "A lot of people don't understand that art is something to buy and put in their home. It is always thought of as something priceless in a museum." Alen says, "it is actually affordable."
Lafferty suggests the Olive for someone who's never been to a gallery before and wants to give art a shot.
The Olive stands apart from other art galleries because of its cozy setting and unconventional artwork.For local artists, the Olive serves as a venue to showcase
"A lot of my friends would never think to go to a gallery for fun, but when I take them, they always seem to enjoy it," she says.

"People think of art as in a museum — a cold, clinical place with white walls, and you can't touch anything," Alen says.
Lime green walls and alternative music jamming from a boom box give the Olive a laid-back vibe absent from other galleries. Both a gallery and a supply store are nestled into a single room. One side is used for selling art supplies

masks art that is edgy, but not so edgy that it is allenating. Alen says. The Olive carries a variety of art, some pieces are light and playful, others
complex and challenging.People can laugh at a lot of the art, not just study and brood over, but actually enjoy.
"We just take art that we believe in. That we believe in personally, and believe that our clientele will appreciate." Alen says.
Once a month the gallery stays open late to host an artist's opening and introduce their new display.
"it's like a rock show, only the focus is on art, not music," Alen says.
The openings are basically a
part party to the public. There's no cost, and anyone can come in and meet the artist and socialize. The gallery tries to set up a musical act, and the artist usually provides food and drinks. Some artists bring in a caterer and serve wine. For the artist on a budget, the Olive Gallery provides a bathtub for canned beer and ice.
The purpose of the gallery is not only to sell and showcase art, but also provide a service to the community, Chelsea Rae, Olive employee, says. The Olive was the only art gallery that sponsored the Red Balloon To Do this year, a local grassroots event that showcased new artwork by dozens of artists.
The Olive also holds silent auctions, has film screenings, and gives other groups access to their facility to hold events. The events don't really increase revenue, Rae says. The Olive does it to generate interest in the art scene, she says, and because it's good for the community.

The Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 E. Eighth St., is open from 12 to 6 p.m., every day.
GALLERIES
This month's gallery features Justin Marable,"Golden Maps, Roadside Treasure: An Installation of New Prints." His pieces are stylized photos of dilapidated structures and the surrounding landscape from small towns in Kansas.

Chris Raine
THE OTHER NIGHT MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE PRETTY DRUNK, AND WE HAD SEX. THEN SHE STARTED MOANING SOMEBODY ELSE'S NAME. THE CRAZY THING IS, THE NAME SHE WAS MOANING WAS "JESSICA." I DON'T KNOW WHO JESSICA IS, AND WHEN I ASKED MY GIRLFRIEND ABOUT IT IN THE MORNING, SHE JUST LAUGHED IT OFF AS A DRUNK MISTAKE. SHOULD I BE UPSET ABOUT THIS, OR IS THIS ACTUALLY PRETTY AWESOME?
Chris: Mike, I think some more research is necessary, but based on the early information this is probably pretty awesome. Find out who Jessica is. Is she a friend of your girlfriend's you haven't met — perhaps a friend who introduced your girlfriend to forbidden erotic pleasures most men only dream of experiencing — or (you should be so lucky) is she Jessica Simpson? Assuming Jessica is female, it's likely that your girlfriend is harboring some homosexual urges, and as modern American society tells us, girl-on-girl action is hot. I strongly suggest finding this
Jessica, buying a bottle — or three — of wine and seeing if you can coax the inner Jessica out of your girlfriend and onto the outer Jessica. Be sure to let me know what happens in vivid detail, with photos and/or video.
Niloofar: Hearing someone
Niloofar: Hearing someone else's name, whether your partner is drunk or just drunk off your lovin', is always a bit of a blow to the ego. But the name was Jessica, and from what I've studied of male sexual fantasies, your ego is probably far from blown, and your penis is excited by the possibilities. You are in quite the enviable position, at
MIKE, SENIOR
least from your male friends' perspectives. Tell your girlfriend you're glad this happened, and you'd be more than happy to meet her needs by engaging in a threesome with Jessica. If the Jessica is Jessica Simpson, even better. If you manage to get video and/or photos, forget sending them to Chris and send them to the tabloids so you can not only be the hot shit who had a threesome with Jessica Simpson, you'll be the filthy rich hot shit who had the threesome with Jessica Simpson. And when you're rich hot shit... well, you can't even imagine the sexual possibilities.
MY GIRLFRIEND WON'T STOP WATCHING SEX AND THE CITY, AND I THINK IT'S DESTROYING OUR RELATIONSHIP. SHE KEEPS REFERRING TO HERSELF AS A "CARRIE," AND HER BEST FRIENDS CALLS HERSELF "SAMANTHA." SHE QUOTES THE SHOW ALL THE TIME AND THINKS THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO GIVE VALUABLE LIFE ADVICE. SHE EVEN MAKES ME WATCH IT. IS THERE AWAY TO CONVINCE HER THAT THE SHOW SUCKS, OR IF NOT, CAN I SAVE OUR RELATIONSHIP?
Niloofar: Dude, what is your problem? Sex and the City is a source of valuable life advice and the best show ever created. Your girlfriend must be pretty awesome if she's a Carrie. I'm a Carrie myself, for a myriad of reasons, including the fact that I write this sex column. Allow me to quote the show when I say "The most important relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. If you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." You obviously don't love your girlfriend for who she is, which is someone smart, witty and with an appreciation for great television. If I were her, I would dump your ass and spend my newfound free time in more productive and fulfilling ways, specifically with the Sex and the City boxed DVD set. But if I've helped you see that you're the problem and not her, then
JASON, JUNIOR
I'd recommend purchasing the "I'm a Carrie" T-shirt for her off the HBO Web site, followed by showing enthusiasm for (and following through on) an all-night marathon. Top it off by telling her you're her Mr.Big and I, as a relationship counselor, am sure I will never hear from you again.
Chris: Your relationship was dead the moment she uttered the words "I'm like Carrie." The best you can do now is run, run away. Sex and the City is a cult; it's like Scientology, except its less helpful and its members are more annoying. The worst are the "Carries" — their role model is a self-absorbed, shoe-obsessed socialite who sucks at writing and sucks worse at living. In every episode she craps out platitudes as deep as a kiddie pool, and you can always tell the women who "dive in"
to these pseudo-philosophical rants because they resemble head trauma victims. The woman you loved is long gone, replaced by a materialistic harpy who has invented a cute little nickname for you based on some extremely superficial or unfunny characteristic that makes her and her friends feel simultaneously clever and powerful while avoiding the glaring, omnipresent truth that without the men in their lives they'd be as miserable as the characters in the show, directly contradicting their invented personas as independent, intelligent, courageous modern women and leaving them teetering on the edge of crushing depression and complete psychological breakdown... But honestly, I don't really care about that show one way or the other. Good luck with whatever.

Q&A
with
ROBERT
EARL KEEN
Robert Earl Keen is a country-western musician whose work is popular throughout Texas and the Midwest. He hails from the Houston area and routinely tours in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. When in Lawrence, Keen plays at Liberty Hall and says he loves coming to Lawrence, "the quintessential college town."
VOLUME 10
CONTRIBUTED BY GLEN ROSE
Q: You come up with a lot of your material in something you call a Scriptorium. What is it like there, and what about it inspires you?
like there, and what about I inspire you
Keen: "I got the idea for a Scriptorium from Willie Brahn of Wreckles Kelly. They have what they call the Shed. It's an after-hours blowout type of place. To get in you just have to know the password, and it's a fun place. But Willie once told me, every man has got to have a shed. The Scriptorium is my shed. It's got lots of guitars, lots of books, a fold out jail bed and a fridge stocked with beer and Big Red. It's remote, a place of extreme solitude, which inspires me because it's just my world there."
Q: How did you get your break?
Keen: "I don't know man, I'm still waiting for my big break. I just plod along and workin' it. If I had to say I got one single break, it was people beginning to play my songs on the radio. In Texas, some radio stations used to have, in the early '90s, Texas Music Night, where they'd play songs of local artists. My songs started showing up on these nights, and regardless of the world of music promotions, my songs kind of promoted themselves."
Q: How much of what you write comes from your own experience versus what you think is your listeners' and fans' experiences? For example, is "Corpus Christi Bay" something that actually happened?
Keen: "It's funny you mention that. I was just down in Corpus Christi a couple of weeks ago fishing with my brother. This time it wasn't to wreck another one of his marriages but to fish, drink and tell stories. That song is my story. A good deal of my writing is my personal experience, and I make it into something really interesting. But you have to have some sensibility about your audience. I don't want to tell a dull story, so sometimes you have to make it interesting. But I'm always honest with the feeling of the songs."
Q: Your tours seem to be mainly centered around Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. What do you like most about Lawrence and Kansas.
JAYPLAY SAYS
Keen: "I love Lawrence. It's the quintessential college town. Sometimes, walking down the street, it's like scenes out of a movie, it's that perfect. My good buddy is Richard Frydman, and he is Kansas to me — that laid-back, sure-of-himself type of guy. I think Kansans have a real sense of themselves. People talk a lot about how much pride Texans have about their state. To me, Kansans are the same way when it comes to state pride, and rightfully so. They have a real sense of 'this is where we're from and this is how we live.' That's great. And y'all have some monster bucks, great fishing and hunting overall."
Q: Have you been deer hunting in Kansas?
Keen: "No, I haven't. I've had some great offers, but man, we're playing all the time. It's tough to find the time. But I'm working toward it. In south Texas, we don't have the same intimate type of hunting as you. When you're on 20,000 acres, it's tough. Sometimes it's more like a truck has to go herd the deer up. From what I know of Kansas hunting, you're on less acreage, so proximity wise, you're actually on top of the deer. I'm going to make it up there to hunt sometime in the near future."
Q:What's your drink?
Keen: "Jack Daniel's. I've found you can go from Phoenix to Frankfurt and people know what you mean when you say Jack Daniel's. There's never a question."

You can look at strangers around you and assume that most of them are probably jerks. Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, through his "loveable foreigner" archetype Borat Sagdiyev, actually goes up to those strangers, introduces himself and finds out that they, are they.
Borat, along with obese producer Azamat (Ken Davitian), goes on a trip across our country, both to report for Kazakh TV and to have sex with Pamela Anderson. There are great moments — a dinner with a genteel Southern family, hitchhiking with an RV of frat boys — but the real payoff is understanding Cohen's enviable devotion to his character. He is Borat, even in the most dangerous situations. The jokes are top drawer, and he sells every one of them. Why? Because he has balls. And in one hilarious scene with his producer, we get to see exactly what that means. If you know what's funny, this film is unmissable.
Danny Solomon
In his brilliant film, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Cohen extracts a new kind of jerkness from those he encounters. It is the kind that nods its head politely in agreement whenever someone says something racist, sexist, homophobic or outright cruel. But Borat doesn't lean too hard on unmasking hatred in America (though it could). Instead, that angle just becomes one of the sources of ingenious hilarity in the film.

Warning: This review contains spoilers.
I'm going to tell you how much *Saw III* sucks.
It relies entirely on grossing out the audience for scares. When it isn't being gross, it's unbelievably boring. The plot has something to do with the Jigsaw Killer's brain tumor, which presumably will be commissioned to write *Saw IV* once it is removed.
Saw III is disturbing, but if being grossed out is what you want, you could just watch Faces of Death. Saw III also uses dingy settings and screeching feedback noise (à la Seven), two devices that are so commonplace in movies that they fail to impress. Maybe instead of building painstakingly detailed sets, filmmakers should build original scripts with endearing characters. That way, when the bomb strapped to the character's neck explodes at the end of the movie, the viewers actually care.

LIGHT UP MY LIFE
Dear Lord, help our Jacky find a good Catholic boy...
How I came to appreciate my grandparents by Jacky Carter
When I moved into the basement of my house last summer, I quickly realized the two silvers of windows weren't going to provide much light. My roommate, Natalie, affectionately called my new space a dungeon and repeatedly suggested mass amounts of lamps to improve my bedroom bleakness.
My grandparents had given me an old lamp of theirs the previous summer, and I thought my chances were good that they still had a couple more around their house. I promptly sent my grandma an e-mail explaining the situation.
My grandma — compared to the rest of her generation — is exceptionally computer savvy. She knows how to use America Online, type travel itineraries in Word and keeps in touch with extended family though e-mail. She e-mails me health warnings, safety tips for women or to ask if I can make it to a family dinner. But my grandma is also self-admittedly scatterbrained, so I didn't know what kind of response my inquiry would elicit.
The next afternoon Grandma had replied. Her conversations ranged from my cousin's nanny who had just gotten engaged to what she had accomplished that day to a woman named Penny who was having an open house. Although my grandmother wrote about Penny with the familiarity reserved for a close friend, I had never heard of her before.I felt bad that I didn't know Penny;she was going to set aside some items ahead of time especially for our family.That's quite nice of her,I
thought as I read my grandma's e-mail, but I still have no idea who Penny is.
The following day, my grandmother wrote me again, realizing she hadn't directly answered my lamp question. Not only did my grandparents have a couple of lamps they no longer used, they would buy some for me too.My grandma wrote that they were trying to downsize in preparation for their move to a retirement community, so it worked out well that I needed them.
I knew the lamps would be far from fashionable though. My grandfather volunteers at a Catholic Charities thrift store called TurnStyles every week. He takes great pride in his role as a pricing specialist, determining the worth of other people's junk. He's almost as good of an employee as he is a customer, so I knew he'd be happy to find a few treasures at TurnStyles to share with me.
My grandma had to enact a rule that my grandpa had to stop — or at least minimize — his thrift store purchases. One time my grandpa was estimating the value of rug. He thought the rug was beautiful (yes, he had told us about the new inventory at TurnStyles) and priced it accordingly. People should pay good money for a good rug, he thought, even if it is at a thrift store. The manager thought Grandpa had marked it too high. My grandpa lowered the price. Then he bought the rug. He's also bought a new dining room cabinet, artwork, a lamp with a base of Catholic saints extending into midair
(it's something you have to see to believe) and other items my grandma loathes to see him drag home. She didn't appreciate that he was adding to their belongings when they were trying to minimize their possessions. In the end, Grandpa donates their original, newer furniture back to TurnStyles. As far as I know, he's never purchased his own donations.
She got out carrots and sesame seed sticks, a combination I hadn't seen since third grade. My sister and I had always looked forward to eating the snack when we visited. As I sat across from my grandma, I couldn't remember the last time the two of us had been alone together.
Three days after my original e-mail, the lamp situation was figured out. My grandpa had picked up two for me. The only condition? I had to personally pick them up the next time I was back home.I stopped by my grandparents' house the following day.
As soon as I entered the house, my grandma attended to me."Do you want a ham sandwich?" she asked. "Actually?..." yes.
She scurried around the kitchen — like she does for family gatherings — to set up a place for me at the table. Any time I tried to get something for myself, she told me to sit down because she could get it. I was 22 at the time, self-sufficient and wasn't used to someone taking care of me.
Before I left, I loaded the lamps in my car — a black clip-on desk lamp, a two-foot gold
lamp that almost looks modern (my favorite of the bunch) and a towering base with an eagle in the middle, topped off with a $100 lampshade. Certainly nothing I'd pick out myself, but I appreciated their donations.
As I drove back to Lawrence, I thought about how my grandparents had always been active in my life. From attending elementary school sporting events when I was cheerleading to stopping by my parents' house nearly every Sunday after church, my grandparents have made it a point to stay close with family. But when I was in high school, I had always felt put off by their visits, having to drop what I was doing to sit and talk in the living room. Didn't they know I had a dramatic episode of MTV's Real World/Road Rules Challenge to watch?
I'm embarrassed to think of how annoyed I was to have to attend another family dinner. My grandparents have hosted nearly every birthday and holiday celebration for as long as I can remember. Nearly 20 people crowd the kitchen, sneaking honey baked ham and garlic bread before Grandma's official announcement that it's time to eat.
The younger cousins run around the house, chasing the dogs and looking for toys that aren't a decade old. My grandma frantically moves around the kitchen as though she'll run out of time to organize the silverware, warm the pie and brew more tea.
Grandpa, who has quite the sense of humor, often says grace. Most of the time it's the typical "Thank you for our
family and the food and the blessings in our lives" kind of stuff. Sometimes, though, he likes to ad lib. One grace he asked God to help me find a nice Catholic boy. This was after I'd just left for college and made the mistake of telling them I hadn't been to church yet. It wasn't exactly thrilled that I had made the trip from Lawrence only to have my grandfather call on holy powers to find me a companion. So far, his prayer is unanswered.
As I get older, I realize that I'm fortunate to still have my grandparents around — and interested in my life — even if they show their love in ways I don't always appreciate. My grandma recently sent me an e-mail asking how she could register on Kansan.com. She had read my article about left-handedness and wanted to post a comment online. How many students can say their grandma does that?
No matter where the family gatherings will be, I'll always have my eclectic thrift store lamps and scatterbrained e-mails as a reminder of my grandparents.
My grandparents are getting their lives in order for the big move to a retirement community, something my mom and I aren't excited about. They won't move for another year, but they've been discussing what will happen with their excess furniture and artwork just as long. I realize they're moving because they want to simplify their lives. But I can't help but mourn the memories they'll leave behind and what the move signifies.

points of representing a largely student-populated section of Lawrence.
"I was kind of a sacrificial lamb," Lamborn joked. He said he was a "Reagan Republican," while the student-dominated areas tended to lean strongly toward Democrats.
As a journalism school student, Lamborn enjoyed poking fun at his fellow students' irreverence. One time he posted a flyer for a mock prayer meeting, and the next day someone had posted a notice for a "black mass" next to his faux prayer-meeting notice. Lamborn said.
Lamborn recalled the journalism school as a place on fire after the Watergate scandal.
"Everyone was going out to change the world," Lamborn said. "I probably shared some of the same sentiment myself."
at the School of Law, Lamborn's professors remember him as a quiet but professional student. Michael Davis, professor of law, was the school's dean when Lambron graduated in 1985.
Davis said Lamborn was usually "not out in front" but that he did "a nice job of oral argument."
Lamborn went from law into politics and the Colorado state legislature in 1995. Though he'll represent Colorado in Congress, he still keeps track of familiar staples of KU life.
"I love Jayhawk basketball," Lamborn said. "I remember watching Danny Manning and other KU greats."

Professor salvages ancient computer
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Earl Schweppe, founder of the KU computer science program, said an e-mail led him to embark last week on what he called "an archeological die."
The e-mail from Aaron Blanchard, electrical engineering and computer sciences lab director, informed Schweppe that the remains of a computer believed to be the first on campus had been found in the basement of Learned Hall.
Blanchard told Schweppe, professor emeritus of electrical engineering and computer science, that he could take the machine or it would be thrown away.
"I didn't like that idea because it's a significant piece of history," Schweppe said.
The machine, an IBM 650, was an important part of the development of computing in the United States. Schwpep called it the first mass-produced computer in the world, with about 2,000 made. Discounts offered by IBM expanded its use on college campuses.
The University first purchased the computer in 1957, and Schwepe said it remained the main computer on campus for the next five years.
Schweppe, who wanted to salvage the computer six years ago and thought it had been discarded, began moving it to his home last week in an attempt to restore the landmark machine.
"Just about every major university in the country had one," Schwepe said.

Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld claps in appreciation for the men and women in service who attended his speech Thursday at Kansas State University. Rumsfeld addressed the current conditions of the country and the war. He took questions from the audience and declined to comment on his own performance as secretary of defense, saying "history will decide." His advice to students was "study history." While in Manhattan, Rumsfeld also attended a public ceremony to rename their military science building in honor of Gen. Richard Myers.
Rumsfeld evades topic of resignation
Former secretary of defense talks at K-State campus about Iraq war, fighting terrorism
Donald Rumfeld chose not to address his Wednesday resignation nor 'Tuesday's midterm elections when he spoke Thursday at the Kansas State University campus.
"I hope you all appreciate how skillfully I managed the public affairs for this event," he said.
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
The former secretary of defense did joke that the events of the past couple of days, including his resignation put the lecture series for which he was speaking on the map.
Rumsfeld, who directed the Department of Defense after the Sept. 11 attacks and helped wage the war on terror, delivered the 14th6 Landon Lecture at Bramlage Coliseum on the Kansas State Campus. He addressed the war in Iraq, a war he said was "unfamiliar and not completely understood, even today."
He compared the Iraq war to the Cold War, noting that Thursday was the 17th anniversary of the breach of the Berlin Wall. He addressed the similarities between the two wars, specifically that it would take years to resolve the Iraq war as it did for the Cold War. He also said the U.S. needed to adapt and change its strategies as it did with the Cold War.

The sound of Savion Glover's feet tapping in rapid rhythm against a wooden stage coalesces with the music of classical artists like John Philip Sousa and Vivaldi in Glover's show, "Classical Savion."

He won a Tony award for his choreography in the Broadway hit "Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk." He has performed internationally with two dance companies he created, Not Your Ordinary Tappers and Ti DiLi. He has also performed on "Sesame Street," the 1997 opening to "Monday Night Football," a Nike commercial and for President Clinton.

"He has been consistently called probably the best dancer there has ever been," said Willie Lenoir, professor of dance, who saw Glover on Broadway.

Royce Matthews, a local tap dancer, said combining 'tap dance with classical music created an extraordinary experience for audiences.
"You think they're exact opposites," Matthews said. "Somehow he puts them together."
Rachel Sanner, Lawrence sophomore and dance student, said students shouldn't be turned off by the classical music in the show. She said the show was fast-moving and "captivating."
"It's more than dancing to the music," Sanner said. "He makes his feet an instrument."
Matthews said most people have not seen the type of rhythmic tap that Savion performs. Rhythm tap involves fast, complex foot work, rather than hands, arms and smiles, Matthews said.
Glover radiates energy during his performances, Matthews said. Glover's dreadlocks flail around his head and sweat soaks his bent body as he dances.
"His footwork is amazing!"
Matthews said. "He makes it look so easy and so fun. He's got a smile on his face, he's getting down and loving it. That's the coolest part of it."

Free food in exchange for reducing campaign clutter
CHARLESTON, S.C. — With the election season over, campaign signs are now worth their weight in spinach dip.
So says the Southeast restaurant chain Sticky Fingers, which is offering a free appetizer to anyone who cleans up the campaign clutter and brings in a sign.
"Just think of those leftover campaign signs as oversized, roadside gift certificates," said Sticky Fingers co-owner Jeff Goldstein. "It's an easy way to help take care of our neighborhoods."
The Charleston-based ribs restaurant will offer coupons for a free appetizer through next Wednesday.

The car had stopped because a pedestrian was crossing the street as the driver waited to turn right. The student said that he initially saw the car as his bike approached the intersection and that after looking in one direction, he assumed the car had proceeded from the intersection.
The student started pedaling and struck the rear driver-side panel. The impact made a large dent in the side of the car, a 1995 Cadillac Seville, and catapulted the student onto the trunk. The student sustained scratches on his elbow and declined medical treatment.

Pink repainting meant to calm prison inmates
BUFFALO, Mo. — Prisoners returning to a southwest Missouri county jail damaged in a failed breakout will find a new color scheme — pink with blue teddy bear accents.
The Dallas County Detention Center is being repainted a soft shade of pink in an effort to better manage sometimes volatile detainees. Sheriff Mike Rackley said he decided to update the look as part of extensive repairs necessary after inmates set a fire and vandalized the interior in an escape attempt.
"Basically, if they are going to act like children and commit a childish act, then we'll make a childish atmosphere," he said. "And it's a calming thing; teddy bears are soothing. So we made it like a day care, and that's kind of like what it is, a day care for adults who can't control their behavior in public."
A month after the Oct. 8 incident, the county's 30-plus prisoners are in neighboring jails while repairs continue. The new paint job includes stenciled blue teddy bear accents.

University tries organic food KU Dining Services considers offering eco-friendly choices
BY KIM LYNCH
Responding to requests and recommendations, KU Dining Services is offering some organic foods at The Market in the Kansas Union. The Market carries a line of organic snacks, a spring mix and fruit.
Ann Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health Center dietitian, said it was sometimes advantageous to purchase organic foods.
For example, Consumer's Union recommends organic beef because it greatly reduces the risk of mad cow disease, she said. But for other foods, such as breads, pastas and oils, there may not be many benefits to buying organic food, she said.
Offering organic and sustainable food options on campus is becoming a trend in the Ivy League and at many other universities, but the University of Kansas is still weighing its options.
Organic refers to food that is produced without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizer. Sustainable food uses practices that emphasize ecology, the seasons and humane treatment of animals and workers, according to the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems at the University of California-Santa Cruz.
According to the Yale University's Sustainable Food Project's annual 2005 report, Brown University,
Harvard University, Stanford University and Wesleyan University are on their way to implementing some version of sustainable food programs. The University of Nebraska is using information from the report to develop a similar program.
Josh Viertel, director of the Yale project, said the idea to serve organic foods came from a class. He said that students learned about the toxicity of certain foods, then realized they were a "captive audience," having to eat those foods in the dining halls. The students formed an organization and talked with the administration about serving more sustainable and organic foods, he said.
In the last year, there have been more requests or questions about serving organic food, but the University is "just in the infancy" of looking into organic food on campus, said Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of KU Dining Services.
Three factors are important in evaluating whether organic food would be a good choice for the University: availability, price and, most importantly, quality, Kidwell said. The testing is being done at the Market so dining services can gauge what the entire University population wants rather than just students at the dining halls, she said.
If the University did start an organic food program in the dining halls, Kidwell said the cost of organic
products would reflect in their retail price. Organic foods are often more expensive than regular ones.
Chase Schultz, Goessel sophomore, said he grew up eating organic food and chose it "as a health choice first, but also for the local community."
He said it would a good for the University to serve more organic food.
"I would love that," he said. "It would be great."
The University of Colorado-Boulder established a successful organic food program by opening a small store that sells only organic food. Kidwell said she thought that would be a good idea for the University as well.
Valerie Skubal, Shawne freshman, said she would buy some organic food if it were offered on campus, but only products she was already familiar with.
A good reason to eat organic food is because it was healthier and helps to support the community and social values, she said.
Kansan staff writer Kim Lynch can be contacted at klynch@kansan. com.
Kidwell said dining services was proceeding slowly with organic food to make sure "what we're doing is what customers really want."

Earl Schweppe, professor emeritus of computer science, displays an original vacuum tube from the IBM 650 computer salvaged from the base- ment of Learned Hall. The University of Kansas originally purchased the computer in 1957.
COMPUTER (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Much of the credit for getting the machine on campus went to the late mathematics professor G. Bailey Price and former Chancellor Franklin David Murphy.
"It was the point where the University recognized the importance of computers in mathematics," Blanchard said.
He also credited the computer with playing a major role in causing computers to become smaller. The IBM 650, though 6 feet tall and 5 feet deep, was smaller than its predecessors, which Blanchard said occupied entire floors.
The machine's capabilities were limited. Schweppe said the memory was capable only of holding 1,000 tendigit numbers. Despite those limitations, he said the computer was used for more than simple tabulation and helped lead to significant advances in fields like chemical engineering.
"You wouldn't believe what was done," Schweppe said. "It was limited, but it was absolutely amazing."
"To put it another way, we probably have about 100 million times the computing power of the IBM 650 in the department right now," Blanchard said.
Blanchard said his department now had about 500 computers, each with 2-gigahertz processors.
But the 650 started the computer revolution on campus, and that, Schwepep said, made it worthy of being salvaged.
"This machine was a big step for
the University," Schweppe said.

Rumsfeld added that it would take the cooperation of all departments — defense, diplomacy and developments — because the military couldn't win the war alone.
He addressed ways in which the government needed to be strengthened and said, "Our grandchildren will look back on this war as defining a moment in American history as World War II was."
He said it would take some time, but eventually Americans would find answers and overcome the "lethal threats that challenge our country"
He concluded by saying that he thought America would persevere in the war if it made the right choices to understand the war.
"The military is equipped for a conventional war, not an asymmetrical one" he said.
"In spite of everything the enemy tries to make the world think otherwise, America is not what's wrong with the world," Rumsfeld said. "Let there be no doubt we are on
A brief Q-and-A session followed his speech. One audience member asked Rumsfeld to grade his performance as secretary of defense.
"I'll let history worry about that," he said.
Paul Mintner, Kansas State freshman, said he was indifferent to the former secretary of defense before his speech but that he thought Rumsfeld seemed more genuine because he was out of the constraints of office.
"I appreciated his optimism for the war on terrorism," he said.
Manuel Corona, a member of one of the military teams attending from Fort Riley, said he thought the former secretary did an "outstanding job" while in office, but he was surprised his resignation didn't come up during the lecture.
"I expected he would talk more about his resignation," he said.

BP settles lawsuit Oil company closes final case from explosion
BY JUAN A. LOZANO ASSOCIATED PRESS
GALVESTON, Texas BP PLC settled on Thursday the last remaining death-related lawsuit from the 2005 Texas City refinery blast that killed 15, wounded 170 and brought accusations of lax management at the oil company.
Just as jury selection was beginning in what would have been the first civil case from the explosion to go to trial, the woman whose parents had been killed in the blast, and who had refused to settle, relented.
Eya Rowe, 22, walked away with an unknown amount, but the settlement also called for London-
Brent Coon, Eva Rowe's attorney, stressed that efforts to settle the case always included stipulations that BP make the refinery and other facilities safer.
In the weeks leading to the trial, Rowe steadfastly contended that she was suing BP to focus attention on the accident and to prevent others from happening after the deaths of 48-year-old James Rowe and his wife, Linda Rowe, 47, of Hornbeck, La.
"Money did not solve all the

The donations, which could total $38 million, include $1 million for the school system in Hornbeck, where Linda Rowe was a teacher's aide. The adult burn unit at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, which treated victims of the blast, will get $12.5 million.
Rowe also sued former Texas City plant manager Don Parus and J.E. Merit Constructors Inc., which employed her parents. Both were released from the lawsuit in the settlement.
"I am very satisfied to be able to help so many people in the community," Eva Rowe said. "I don't want my parents to be forgotten."

'60 Minutes' journalist dies
M. G. BABADEL
CBS newsman Ed Bradley died Thursday of leukemia at New York's Mount Sina Hospital. He was 65 years old, Bradley spent 26 years on the show and was famous for his interviews.
BY FRAZIER MOORE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRES
NEW YORK — Ed Bradley, the award-winning television journalist who broke racial barriers at CBS News and created a distinctive, powerful body of work during his 26 years on "60 Minutes," died Thursday. He was 65.
Bradley died of leukemia at Mount Sinai hospital, CBS News announced.
He landed many memorable interviews, including the Duke lacrosse players accused of rape, Michael Jackson and the only TV interview with Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
Bradley "was tough in an interview, he was insistent on getting an interview," said former CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite, "and at the same time when the interview was over, when the subject had taken a pretty heavy lashing by him, they left as friends. He was that kind of guy"
Bradley's consumate skills were recognized with numerous awards, including four George Foster Peabody awards and 19 Emmys, the latest for a segment on the reopening of the 50-year-old racial murder case of Emmett Till.
With his signature earring and beard, Bradley was "considered intelligent, smooth, cool, a great reporter, beloved and respected by all his colleagues here at CBS News," Katie Couric said in a special report.
Three of his Emmys came at the 2003 awards: for lifetime achievement; a report on brain cancer patients; and a report about sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church. He also won a lifetime achievement award from the National Association of Black Journalists.
Bradley joined "60 Minutes" in 1981 when Dan Rather left to replace Cronkite as anchor of "The CBS Evening News."
His reporting ability was matched by his interviewing finesse. When he spoke with McVeigh in February 2000 at the federal prison in Terre
Haute, Ind., the convicted bomber told Bradley that he was angry and bitter after fighting in the Gulf War. In December 2003, Jackson said he had been "manhandled" when arrested on child molestation charges a few weeks earlier.
"Ed could get people to say the damnest thing because he put them at ease," said former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw said Thursday.
Though he had been ill and had undergone heart bypass surgery about a year ago, he remained active on "60 Minutes." In one of his last reports, an investigation of the Duke case that aired last month, he broke new ground with the first interviews with the accused.
Born June 22, 1941, Bradley grew up in a tough section of Philadelphia, where he once recalled that his parents worked 20-hour days at two jobs apiece. "I was told, 'You can be anything you want, kid,'" he once told an interviewer. "When you hear that often enough, you believe it."
After graduating from the historically black Cheyney State College (now Cheyney University of Pennsylvania), he launched his career as a jazz DJ — he was a lifelong jazz fan — and news reporter for a Philadelphia radio station in 1963. He moved to New York's WCBS radio four years later.
He joined CBS News as a stringer in the Paris bureau in 1971, transferring a year later to the Saigon bureau during the Vietnam War. He was wounded while on assignment in Cambodia. He was named a CBS News correspondent in early 1973 and moved to the Washington bureau in June 1974. He later returned to Vietnam, covering the fall of that country and Cambodia.
Cronkite recalled first meeting Bradley in Vietnam: "He seemed to be fearless, an incredibly smart reporter in getting the story"
After Southeast Asia, Bradley returned to the United States and covered Jimmy Carter's successful campaign for the White House. He followed Carter to Washington, in 1976 becoming CBS' first black
White House correspondent.
He jumped from Washington to doing pieces for "CBS Reports," traveling to Cambodia, China, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. It was his Emmy-winning 1979 piece on Vietnamese boat refugees that eventually landed him on "60 Minutes."
Bradley recently served as a radio host for "Jazz at Lincoln Center," where he won one of his four Peabody awards.
Wynton Marsalis, artistic director of Lincoln Center's jazz department, called Bradley "one of our definitive cultural figures, a man of unsurpassed curiosity, intelligence, dignity and heart."
Accepting his lifetime achievement award from the black journalists association, Bradley remembered being present at some of the organization's first meetings in New York.
"I look around this room tonight and I can see how much our profession has changed and our numbers have grown," he said. "I also see it every day as I travel the country reporting stories for '60 Minutes.' All I have to do is turn on the TV and I can see the progress that has been made."
But, he added, "There are many more rivers to cross, and many more stories to cover and, I hope, a lot left in this lifetime."
Bradley is survived by his wife, Patricia Blanchet.

Kline's memo called 'worst abuse of religion'
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kline's directions to his campaign staff included making sure friendly pastors brought "money people" to fundraisers and signing up church members to help with passing out campaign literature. It said one goal was to form a pro-Kline committee at each church.
TOPEKA — A memo Attorney General Phil Kline wrote outlining a plan to fully tap his support among churchgoers was the worst abuse of religion in American politics during the 2006 election cycle, a national group said Wednesday.
The memo's designation came from the Interfaith Alliance, a Washington-based group that promotes the separation of church and state and government neutrality on religion.
Kline already faced criticism over his activities involving churches.
Former Attorney General Bob
Former ACL Stephan, a fellow Republican who broke with Kline politically, asked the state ethics commission to investigate church activities, and Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service.
"People of faith don't deserve to be treated like members of a labor union or members of the business community."
paign activities. For years, Kline has spoken during services and to church groups about reconciling with his once-stranded father and the importance of people having God in their lives.
Kline spokeswoman Sherrine Jones said she had no reaction.
"People of faith don't deserve to be treated like members of a labor union or members of the business community," Blake said. "They deserve a lot more respect than that because they cut across all sort of partisan, ideological lines, not to mention theological lines."
Kline repeatedly insisted that inspirational messages he sometimes gave at churches weren't connected to cam-
"I think the memo that Phill Kline wrote to his staff demonstrated how drastically he wanted to use pastors to raise money for his campaign," said William Blake, a spokesman for the Interfaith Alliance.
"How fair is it? I guess my question is what difference does it make?" Shallenburger said. "I don't think you can look at the Kline election from either side, from a variety of issues, and find the word 'fair'"
He and his aides also have said Kline was careful to see that neither he nor churches would run aufoul on federal tax laws against nonprofit groups intervening in partisan campaigns.
Kline already had received national attention for his two-year effort to obtain records of 90 patients from two

The internal campaign memo, dated Aug. 8, became public the next month when someone leaked it anonymously to news organizations. It likely contributed to Kline's loss Tuesday to Democrat Paul Morrison, the Johnson County district attorney, because many voters thought it showed Kline used religion for political enrichment.
But GOP State Chairman Tim Shallenburger questioned whether Kansans would care about the assessment of "a group whose sole effort is to separate God from country."
abortion clinics.
Democrats to couch campaign arguments in Biblical terms to appeal to people of faith.
Inside Kline's campaign, his memo became known as the "Slimfast" memo because in it, the candidate told his staff that if he had free time, he should be taken to a quiet place so that he could make phone calls.
"feed me Slimfast." Kline wrote.
"Do not need a sit down meal. Takes too much time."

FDA finds metal in acetaminophen
WASHINGTON — Check your medicine cabinet: Millions of bottles of the widely used pain reliever acetaminophen — some sold as long as three years ago — are being recalled because they may contain metal fragments.
The recall affects 11 million bottles containing varying quantities of 500-milligram acetaminophen caplets made by the Perrigo Co. The pills were sold under store brands by Wal-Mart, CVS, Safeway and more than 120 other major retailers, the Food and Drug Administration said. At least two chains — CVS Corp. and SuperValu Inc. — started pulling the pills from store shelves Thursday.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or illness. The contaminated pills included metal fragments ranging in size from " microdots" to portions of wire one-third of an inch long, the FDA said. The FDA could not describe further the type of metal.
Perrigo discovered the metal bits during quality-control checks done after the company discovered its equipment was wearing down prematurely, the FDA said. Agency officials declined to say whether the metal found in the pills caused the damage or resulted from it.
A company investigation found metal in roughly 200 pills of the 70 million it passed through a metal detector, according to the FDA.
Consumers who take any of the
The 129 retailers that could be affected by the recall include Wal-Mart Stores Inc., CVS, Safeway Stores and SuperValu. They typically sell the Perrigo-made pills under their own or other private labels.
contaminated pills could have minor stomach discomfort or possible cuts to the mouth and throat, the FDA said, adding that the risk of serious injury was remote.
Perrigo, based in Allegan, Mich., said the pills contained raw material purchased from a third-party supplier and affected 383 batches. Messages left Thursday with two company spokesmen were not immediately returned.
The recall does not affect products sold under the TYlenol brand.
Perrigo said the retail pain reliever market is worth more than $2 billion a year. The company is the world's largest manufacturer of store-brand nonprescription drugs.
The agency does not suspect the contamination was deliberate, said Dr. Douglas Throckmorton, deputy director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
The FDA did not know in which states the pills had been sold, but recommended that customers determine whether products they bought are being recalled by checking the store list on the FDA Web site. http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/perriro-perigrocustlist.html and the batch list. http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/perriro-perigrocustbatch.html
The batch numbers appear on the container's label.

Support women's team
This weekend starts the long-anticipated men's basketball season when Kansas takes on Northern Arizona Saturday night. And while the buzz continues to grow about the men, let's not forget to support our women's basketball team.
The women's team tips it off Saturday afternoon against Seton Hall in Kansas City.
Last year, coach Bonnie Henrickson's team jumped out of the gates by winning its first 12 games, including the Big 12
opener against Texas. With a 17-13 record, the team got an invite to the women's NIT and earned a postseason win before getting bounced in the first round.
The Jayhawks are turning the corner — in the past two seasons the team has more postseason wins than the men's team. They have lost some scorers from last year but have replaced them with exciting freshmen. Both Danielle McCray and LaChelda Jacobs have averaged double figures in two exhibition games.
With national attention and high expectations placed on the men this year, it's hard not to get excited.
But it shouldn't take a 12-0 start or a trip to the postseason for fans to start supporting the women's team as well. The support should start this weekend and continue throughout the season.

COMMENTARY
Horror flicks need more Hitchcock
It's hard to beat the feeling of a true adrenaline rush. Your heart is pounding in your ears, your hands are shaking, your blood runs cold and your whole body feels light and tingly.
In the past, this much-desired feeling could be achieved right in front of your television set, while watching a scary movie. However, that heart-pounding, blood-racing, shaky feeling has slowly given way to stomach-churning, lost-my-appetite-for-popcorn nausea.
What were once brilliant storylines and twisted resolutions are now disgusting plots and predictable endings: Everyone dies except the repulsive antagonist because he must return for two or three more movies where, again, everyone dies.
What has happened to scary movies?
Some of the first frightening films date back to the 1920s, when audiences were petrified by the massive frame of Frankenstein and the Count's horrifying fangs.
Gradually, the movies started to shift. Monsters and zombies were replaced by the likes of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the many disturbed characters born from the mind of Alfred Hitchcock.
All these films planted fear in the audiences without, amazingly enough, tremendous amounts of blood and guts. Viewers were captivated by the characters' creepy mannerisms and dialogue. Hitchcock

was proclaimed the "master of suspense" because he held his audience in an constant state of wonder.
Somewhere, this genre lost sight of that wonder and suspense that Hitchcock mastered. It seems that the whole idea behind these movies has changed. Back in the days of werewolves and crazed ravens, the intent was just to scare people, to give them the heightened adrenaline they craved.
Now, it appears the intent behind scary films is to display the many different ways a body can be maimed and to see how many people can be induced to vomit.
The genres of scary movies used to include "thriller," "scare" and "horror" movies, but have recently expanded to include "slasher" movies and the latest genre of "torture" movies to encompass the scintillating "Saw" trilogy.
The presence of violence in these movies is getting progressively worse, and people are becoming progressively more comfortable with seeing it painted in their living rooms. Why has the film industry become so driven by gore?
One reason why movies may have lost intelligent story lines and gained bloody ones is that it costs a substantial amount of money to make a good movie.
It does not cost a lot of money to make a really bad movie. In a film centered on violent acts, special effects can be less perfect, less believable, less expensive. If the script calls for limbs being sawed off, chances are Tom Hanks and Paul Newman aren't in line to take a part, so you don't have to worry about paying an arm and a leg, pun intended, for high-profile actors. Grusome horror films are low-budget all around: low-paid actors and actresses, cheap effects, cheap wardrobe and a cheap set since today's psycho torturers probably won't be staying at the Ritz Carlton.
Cheap or not, the scary movie business needs some work. I'm tired of starting a movie and shutting it off after 15 minutes because I can't stand all the abhorring effects. I'm tired of seeing previews for movies that fall right in step with the revolting DVD I just returned to its case. I challenge filmmakers to take a few steps backward.
I challenge them to return to a time of sharp suspense and unforgettable characters. I challenge them to scare me, not disgust me.

COMMENTARY
Dear Rep. Moore: Want my vote in '08? Hit Sudan's government where it hurts
Dear Congressman Dennis Moore:
People are needlessly slaughtered by the day, and we barely raise an eyebrow or lift a finger. Now, according to BBC News, the conflict is spreading into the neighboring country of Chad, where even more people are dying.
Congratulations on your reelection Tuesday. You probably feel pretty secure in your seat after trouncing your challenger to secure a fifth term as a U.S. Representative from Kansas' Third District. And you should feel secure, with national momentum swinging your party's way.
But I'm writing to tell you that, as a constituent of yours, I won't be giving you a free pass. I'll be paying close attention to you during the next two years. And I want you to take action to end the conflict in Darfur, Sudan.
Grant Snider/KANSAN
And this is why I want you,
Congressman Moore, to act to end
As much as my heart cries out for Britney, I think genocide is a bit more important. This is why I'm angry.
But the U.S. mainstream media would rather alert us about Britney and K-Fed's divorce.
As many as 400,000 people have died in Darfur, 2.5 million have been driven from their homes and countless women have been raped.
When Leonard Pitts, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, stopped by the Kansan newsroom during his visit to the University this fall, I asked him how he decided what to write about.
This issue means a lot to me — so much that I sound like a broken record on the subject at times, as I'm sure more than a few bored University Daily Kansan readers would tell me. But I can't help but write about it.
- "I write about whatever's pissing me at the moment" Pitts said.
Sounds reasonable enough to me. And, for lack of a better term, Darfur is what's pissing me off most of the time.

You've voted for several pieces of legislation aimed at helping Darfur. Thank you.
But DarfurScores.org gives you a "C" for your action on Darfur because you haven't done much else.
challenge you to be a leader on the issue of Darfur. There are several ways you could do this.
You can help ensure protection for states and universities that decide to remove their investments from companies operating in Sudan.
You can also lobby the state legislature to divest all the state's pension funds from corporations doing business in Sudan. I know the thought of our state's money helping to fund genocide troubles me greatly — doesn't it trouble you as well?
You should reach out to Sen. Brownback for help pushing for Kansas state divestment. Help put Kansas' money in places where it won't fund the taking of innocent lives.
You, Congressman Moore could help push for legislation that will protect states' rights to invest their money as they see fit. Send the message that this country cares more about innocent lives in Sudan than it does about the stock prices of international corporations.
Countless other steps can be taken to end the atrocities

Darfur Peace and Accountability Act, championed by Sen. Sam Brownback from Kansas, was signed by President Bush in October. But, thanks to lobbying by the National Foreign Trade Council, the law lacked a section that would have guaranteed states the right to divest from companies operating in Sudan.
The National Foreign Trade Council represents more than 300 multinational corporations, according to The Washington Post. The Council has already sued the state of Illinois for its dissection law.

Losses, suspensions, death leave football team stunned
BY TIM REYNOLDS ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — A few minutes past noon Tuesday, Anthony Wollschlager was asked a simple question about the state of Miami's football season.
"Can anything else go wrong?"
The Hurricanes' center shifted in his chair and thought for a moment.
possibly reviewing all the issues that his team faced to that point, including:
A preseason shooting where a teammate was lucky to come away with only minor injuries.
— The suspension of a top receiver after
he was involved in a fight with a woman.
— Four disappointing losses that prompted speculation about coach Larry Coker's job security.
— Injuries to several key players, including many starters.
Wollschlager took a breath, looked up and began delivering his answer.
KIRBY FREEMAN Quarterback
"I really believe that the way things happened with our football team this year and the struggles we've had,this could have happened anywhere in the country."
to ask it."
— An ugly bench-clearing brawl that had some pundits calling for the elimination of Miami's football program.
"Usually when you ask that, something else usually does go wrong," he said, "so I'm not doing."
He laughed, as did everybody standing around him, all unaware that the Hurricanes would experience a true tragedy about seven hours later, when something else would go horribly — and unbelievably — wrong.
"If you coach very long, you're going to have all these things happen," Coker said. "They're all going
to happen to you. But not in the same year."
By all accounts, Bryan Pata was living out his dream at Miami.
campus, it seems, either knew him or knew of him — some because he was a local kid who played at Miami Central, others by recognizing his dread-locked look when he was near.
He had a girlfriend and was set to join the NFL ranks next year after graduating with his criminology degree. He wanted to work with the FBI one day.
All those plans ended Tuesday night.
Pata was gunned down at his apartment complex around 7:30 p.m., police said, about two hours after playing football for the last
time. The murder left his family devastated, his university stunned and his teammates in shock.
"I tell you, this is a tragedy. There's no doubt," said Miami quarterback Kirby Freeman, who'll make his first start Saturday when the Hurricanes — with Patas number 95 on their helmets — visit No. 23 Maryland. "It is unexplainable. We're such a strong family as a team and when you lose one of your family members, you're not sure how to react."
So they play on, having decided as a team to continue with Saturday's game as scheduled, a move Coker and the people who knew Pata best saw was the right one.
"We have strong kids here," Coker said. "But they're young. They're very young. So this is a tough experience for all of us, young and old. ... The decision to play is not so much about football. I wish I could have told them this would be the toughest thing they'll ever experience in their life."
The problems that have plagued the Hurricanes this season are unrelated, yet it's the cumulative effect that seemed to be adversely affecting the team's psyche at times.
And now, obviously, the collective mood of the team may be at rock bottom.
"Absolutely, it's frightening," Freeman said. "But I really believe that the way things have happened with our football team this year and the struggles we've had, this could just as easily happened anywhere in the country."

Bay Area teams to relocate Oakland A's, San Francisco 49ers look at Silicon Valley
BY GREG BEACHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Athletics have started a new gold rush, south to the open spaces and financial bounties of Silicon Valley.
The 49ers and A's each hope to build new stadiums in the southern reaches of the San Francisco Bay Area. Though the As yet-to-be-announced plan appears closer to fruition than the 49ers' move announced Thursday, both clubs seem determined to leave behind two
of their sports' worst stadiums for sparkling new ballparks in accommodating new hometowns.
The 49ers have abandoned their decadelong attempts to build a new stadium and a massive com-
The teams' intentions spotlight the geographical migration of money, power and influence in the Bay Area in the six decades since the 49ers were founded: Everything is going south, where the NHL's San Jose Sharks currently are the only major sports franchise.
The A's hope to open their park by 2011, while the 49ers have much more work to do to meet a selfimposed 2012 deadline to replace the NFLs oldest unrenovated stadium.
York insisted the 49ers never will leave the San Francisco Bay Area or change their name. But he cited several factors making it impossible to continue planning for a stadium and an accompanying commercial complex — which would help fund the arena's construction — on a thin strip of land in the Hunters Point neighborhood of San Francisco.

"We truly wish that the results were different," said York, wrest-
The South Bay region is anchored by San Jose itself, already the biggest Bay Area city with more than 900,000 residents, and among the fastest-growing in the county. Its residents have the highest per-capita income of any big city in the United States, due largely to the region's role as the high-tech hub,
Owner John York has decided he wants a stand-alone stadium built on 20 acres across the street from the team's longtime training complex in Santa Clara, a suburb 30 miles south of San Francisco.
Meanwhile, the As have reached a deal with Cisco Systems Inc. to build a new high-tech ballpark in Fremont, about 25 miles south of Oakland. The field is expected to be the home of a Major League Soccer franchise as well.
"I think it's just an accepted fact that our fan base has grown out, and there are a number of our fans throughout the Bay Area," York said.
ed control of the edited franchise from his brother-in-law, Eddie DeBartolo, in the late 1990s. "We were the last to be convinced. We made this decision as a family, and in the end we were able to come to this conclusion
by thinking about the challenges from the fans" perspective."
Still, York said he wouldn't completely "slam the door" on the possibility of a stadium in San Francisco an indication the 49ers have years of planning to do before construction could begin.
"This legendary football team has called the Bay Area home for 60 years." York said.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said he hasn't given up hope that the city will be able to keep the 49ers. "Every time the city has been needed to secure the future of the team, the city has stepped up to the plate," he told reporters Wednesday.
Donald Strickland, a defensive back who grew up in Hunters Point and signed with the 49ers last week, is among the locals with bittersweet, emotions about the announcement.
"It's been there for my whole lifespan," Strickland said. "That's all I've known. It was always a place I wanted to play in, and that's what I used to train myself for. I used to run around the whole stadium and up the hill during my childhood, ever since Pop Warner. I really don't want to see it leave from that area."
The proposed move also jeopardizes San Francisco's quest to host the 2016 Olympics. The stadium was to be used for opening and closing ceremonies and track and field.
"We'll look at any and all options," said Joe Blout, San Francisco's director of economic development. "The mayor wants to win these Olympics."
The 49ers will meet soon with
santa Clara officials who seem surprised and flattered by the club's intentions — but wary of the plan's vagueness. The club provided few details of the project's potential financing but insisted no tax increases or city money would be necessary.
"The only downside is the unknown," said Steve Van Dorn, the president of the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce. "We still don't know how this is going to be financed, so there's still serious work to be done."
"The A's will make a formal announcement Tuesday of their plans for a stadium — dubbed Cisco Field — in Fremont. City officials there have many of the same questions about financing and resources.

Chiefs lose another player to injury Linebacker added to long list of starters on sidelines
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Already out were Pro Bowl left guard Brian Waters, who injured his knee during last week's game at St. Louis, and right tackle Kevin Sampson. Johnson, Kansas City's best tackler and top playmaker at linebacker, hurt his ankle in the victory over the Rams and has not practiced all week.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson will not play against Miami on Sunday, joining several other key starters on an injury list that gets loner each week.
"I think the young guys we have in there are going to play well. But it's going to be a little bit new," coach Herm Edwards said Thursday.
"You find out about your players. You find the players who can step up to the plate and say, 'I'm ready.' There are some guys who don't handle it as well. But you find it out about your team, and that's a good thing."
Edwards said he did not know how long Johnson might be sidelined. He and linebacker Kawika Mitchell are tied for the team lead with 54 tackles.
Quarterback Trent Green, out with a severe concussion since the Sept. 10 season opener, will miss his eighth straight start, although he will suit up for the second straight game and be on the sideline.
Green, who will visit the doctor late Thursday, hopes to be ready for next week's game at home against Oakland.
Chris Bober, a sixth-year pro in his second stint with the Chiefs, came in for Waters last week and probably will start Sunday, although Edwards would not confirm that Thursday. Kyle Turley will start at right tackle for, Sampson and Keyaron Fox, a third-round pick in 2004, will get his first NFL start in place of Johnson.
"This is my first NFL start. I hate that it had to happen like this. But it's the chance I've been waiting for and I'm going to do my best to go out and take advantage of my opportunity," Fox said.
Safety Greg Wesley, another casualty in the Rams' game, was listed as questionable.
Fox has been a key contributor on special teams.

Fans criticize LeBron for leaving court
BY JIM LITKE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Being tabbed the "next Michael Jordan" is great for as long as it lasts. There's fact contracts and sneaker deals, commercials by the dozen, an invite inside every velvet rope and endless adulation.
If those things don't trip you up, well, there always the cameras. Always, as LeBron James should know by now, there will be cameras.
One caught him walking off the floor Tuesday night in Cleveland with about 15 seconds of overtime left in a game against the Atlanta Hawks. James just had missed a 3-point shot, the Cavs were nine behind, and the Hawks were headed
the other way up the floor.
Like more than a few players on more than a few nights, he started toward the tunnel before the final buzer sounded. All James has heard since — beyond endless replays of an astonished Hawks' announcer chirping. "What a great sport he is!" — is how he let everyone down.
The list starts with his teammates and fans and extends on up to NBA commissioner David Stern, who's caught in the throes of an etiquette campaign that would make Miss Manners blush.
"Anytime someone doesn't have anything to talk about, they're going to question anything that you do," James said before tip-off Thursday night at home against the Chicago Bulls. He was still in a defiant
"Say if we were winning the game and I did the same thing that I did when we lost. Would it have been mentioned?" James added without waiting for an answer. "I don't think so."
mood.
What he did offends old-school sensibilities, no doubt. We say keep hustling to the end of every game, no matter how bitter. But it's another thing to lecture a professional who just played 47 tough minutes in a tough loss, knowing there are 75 more games and who-knows-how-many postseason series left.
It's hardly a reason to take someone whose preocciousness — on and off the court — has invited comparisons to Jordan, Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson and
suddenly demote him to Randy Moss' classroom.
Not that James felt slighted:
"Randy Moss is a guy who has been unfairly treated sometimes ... but he's one of the best players in the game."
Unlike Moss, James has been a model citizen. His talents have been tempered by humor and a well-developed sense of diplomacy that make it easy to forget he's still 21 years old. James' instincts have taken him this far without so much as a serious hiccup.
He's handled the spotlight as capably as defenders since high school, and that's without the benefit of even one season on campus, let alone with somebody like Dean Smith in his corner.

Coach to sit out next game Penn State leader still in hospital after sideline injury
BY GENARO C. ARMAS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Joe Paterno declared himself "out" for Penn State's next game Saturday, designating longtime assistant Tom Bradley to make any tough calls in the school's first contest without the coaching icon since 1977.
Better make the right decisions, though, Tom: Paterno undoubtedly will be watching.
Heeding his doctor's advice, Paterno told his staff Thursday that he would not be at Beaver Stadium for Saturday's game against Temple. The 79-year-old coach had surgery Sunday to repair a fractured shinbone and two torn knee ligaments in his left leg, injuries sustained in a sideline collision in a loss last week to Wisconsin.
His left leg fitted with a temporary brace, Paterno spoke with his assistants Thursday morning during a meeting at his Mount Nittany Medical Center room.
"You guys know what you're doing and what I want enough that I don't need to be there creating a huge distraction Saturday," he told them. "Enough on me; let's get back to football."
Paterno remained in good condition Thursday and was described by a team spokesman, Guido D'Elia, to be in good spirits, with his recovery from surgery proceeding well.
Paterno is eager to check out, but he won't be released until team doctor Wayne Sebastianelli is satisfied with the progress of his recovery. It's unclear whether Paterno will watch his squad Saturday from home or from his room at the hospital, just down the street from the stadium.
The coach "just realized he's got to be proactive," D'Ellia said, "that in this condition it wasn't safe to be out and about."
So JoePa and his roiled-up khakis will be missing from the Penn State sideline for the first time since 1977, when he missed a game after
his son, David, was involved in an accident. Paterno also missed a game as an assistant in 1955 after his father died.
At least one thing hasn't changed:
Paterno wants to win.
His sights are set on a New Year's Day bowl game in Florida, a destination that Penn State can likely lock up if they beat Temple on Saturday, and Michigan State in the regular-season finale on Nov. 18. A decision on whether Paterno can coach against the Spartans from a coach's box high above Beaver Stadium will be made next week.
Doctors have said Paterno might be allowed to coach from the sidelines for a bowl game as long as his recovery is going well and he can stay off his feet. It might be six weeks until Paterno can put weight on the left leg.
The school didn't name an acting head coach, though Bradley, an assistant to Paterno for 28 years, will make any tough decisions come game-time.

VOLLEYBALL Kansas adds outside hitters says goodbye to five seniors
With five seniors on the current roster, the team adds two highly touted high school seniors.
Coach Ray Bechard announced Karina Garlington, from Denver, and Jenna Kaiser, from Wichita, signed National Letters of Intent to play for Kansas.
The Jayhawk volleyball team signed two outside outings Thursday
Of the five seniors graduating, three are starters — Jana Correa, Jamie Mathewson and Megan Hill.
Garlington played for Grandview High, which was ranked 16th in the nation by PrepVolleyball.com.
Kaiser, who stands 6-0, is from Kapaun Mt. Carmel, and earned 5A first-team all-state and all-metro volleyball honors in 2005 and 2006.

Females,athletes earn highest grad rates
INDIANAPOLIS — College athletes continue to graduate at a higher rate than other students, and female athletes again outperformed their male counterparts, according to data released by the NCAA on Thursday.

The NCAA's numbers were consistently higher than those calculated under the federal guidelines.
Among the more notable findings during a four-year period were that female athletes earned diplomas at a significantly higher rate, 71 percent, than their male counterparts.
Four schools Boston College Bucknell, Duke and Northwestern

Northern Arizona not to be dismissed as automatic win
Lumberjacks coming off victory in exhibition game; picked to place first in Division ll's Big Sky conference
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas fans shouldn't be fooled by the directional name of the Jayhawks first regular season opponent.
Northern Arizona will be a challenging team for a vulnerable Kansas squad that played without junior center Sasha Kaun and junior guard Jeremy Case for the entire preseason and without sophomore guard Mario Chalmers against Emporia State.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that because of everything his team has had to deal with, he's pleased with where his players are, but said the team definitely wasn't where he expected it to be to start the regular season.
"We're not close to being where we should be," Self said. "But I'm not sure it's possible to be close to where we could be if we don't have Sasha, Mario and leremy out there."
Self said Case was doubtful for Saturday, but had better news about Chalmers and Kaun. He said Chalmers had been battling blisters in addition to his sprained toe, but expected him to play against Northern Arizona.
As for Kaun, Self said the three to six week timeline for the starting center's return appeared to be accurate.
"The trainers and doctors tell me he's doing great," Self said. "But great means, still, at least three weeks, but hopefully not the latter part."
He said Kaun isn't able to do any work on the court. Instead, he's been rehabbing in the water.
"He's spending a ton of time in the pool, learning how to swim," Self said with a smirk.
With Chalmers likely to return, Kansas should have its starting backcourt of Chalmers, junior guard Russell Robinson and sophomore guard Brandon Rush intact, Sophomore forward Julian Wright and junior forward Darnell Jackson should start in the front court.
Freshmen Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur should be the first Jayhawks off the bench at guard and forward, respectively, and junior guard Rodrick Stewart will also be a key contributor off the bench for Kansas.
The Northern Arizona Lumberjacks are coming off a 12-point victory against Fort Lewis in its lone exhibition game. Northern Arizona returns four starters from a squad that went 21-11 last season and won the Big Sky regular season title. Like Kansas, Northern Arizona is the preseason favorite to win its conference.
As a team, Northern Arizona made eight of 21 three-point attempts against Fort Lewis. It's this ability to score from the outside — even by Lumberjack big men — that has Self concerned.
"Their big guys can all step away from the basket and, at least, stretch the defense in that regard," Self said.
Even if Kansas gets out to an early lead, Self knows the Lumberjacks are the type of team that can chop away at a lead.
"If they get on a roll, they could shoot nine balls and have 18 points very easily." Self said. "I would say that would be a big concern."
While Self is worried about being upset by a mid-major in Kansas' home opener, Northern Arizona coach Mike Adras isn't exactly overjoyed that the season he gets to play Kansas is the season it's ranked No. 3 in the nation.
"I need to have my head examined," Adras said in a Big Sky teleconference. "There's no question about that."

This weekend's WBCA Classic may be in nearby Kansas City, but Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson will be treating it like any other road trip.
"We're going to go up there Friday night," she said. "It's a good opportunity to give these young kids an idea of what it's like to travel."
The Jayhawks' first regular season game is at 2 p.m. Saturday against the Seton Hall Pirates, the first round of the WBCA Classic. The Jayhawks will look to build on a rough exhibition game where they had to rally to defeat Washburn.
The team also struggled to finish strong in the first exhibition game against Fort Hays State. These inconsistencies make for an all-too-familiar goal to bring into the Seton Hall game.
"We still have to play better both halves," freshman forward Danielle McCray said. "The last game, the first half was bad and the first game, the second half was bad."
McCray led the team in scoring during exhibition play, with 13 points per game despite having not started in either game. McCray will continue to split time in the backcourt with junior Jamie Boyd,
junior Taylor McIntosh, and fellow freshman Sade Morris.

started both exhibition games at point guard but had difficulty on the defensive end of the floor. This resulted in more time for freshman guards Kelly Kohn and LaChelda Jacobs.
Kohn and Jacobs are the quickest guards on the team and increase defensive intensity when subbed into the game. The two will have to continue this on Saturday against a pair of play-making Seton Hall sophomore guards, Shantel Brown and Brittney Messina.
The Jayhawks will rely heavily on underclassmen to carry the team into the regular season. Of the nine players to see action in the exhibition game against Washburn, six of them were freshmen or sophomores. This can't be the typical young team, however, and Bonnie Henrickson knows it.
"We can't use youth as an excuse; if we do that, we'll have to excuse the whole year," she said.
Kansas will play again in the second round Sunday against either Missouri State or Iowa, depending upon the outcomes of both first-round games.

Chiefs, Jayhawks on eerily parallel paths
Only a short drive away from the big city and a Kansan for a sizable chunk of my life, being a Kansas City Chiefs fan simply comes with the territory.
I'm aware that the number of Jayhawk lovers probably more than quadruple the Chiefs' nation on campus, but for those of us that lie within both categories, this season has taught us a lesson or two in stress management.
The football programs that much of Lawrence holds near and dear seem to be progressing through the season on parallel paths.
In the first half of both seasons, both the Jayhawks and the Chiefs put their postseasons in doubt. While Kansas City opened its season with an 0-2 start, Kansas was in the middle of a four-game Big 12 Conference slide.
Aside from the losses, the misfortunes also eerily correlate. Chiefs fans mourned the loss of two-time Pro Bowler Trent Green in the season opener against Cincinnati seconds after the infamous helmet-tochin hit on the franchise's starting quarterback.
Finally done with the great quarterback debate of the previous season, true freshman Kerry Meier stepped into the full-time starting quarterback job in time for the Jayhawks to kick off their

season. Meier suffered an injury of his own against Toledo, and suddenly Kansas was short a starting quarterback as well.
While senior Adam Barmann made his blip on the backup radar screen, coach Mark Mangino's decision to shed freshman Todd Reesing's redshirt and start him against Colorado opened the door for what resulted in a quality backup, as Reesing threw for a pair of touchdowns and ran for one to lead his team to victory.
What a coincidence.
With both Huard and Reesing put in positions to save their respective teams' seasons, each has stepped up to the task.
Kansas City's temporary quarterback, Damon Huard, has now become the definition of a quality backup. Without completing a pass in the National Football League since 2000, Huard is currently 5-2 as a starter.
At 5-3, Kansas City is currently in the early stages of the AFC's wildcard race, a spot even us diehards couldn't have predicted when
Green went down indefinitely.
Consequently, when Kansas sat at a dismal 3-5, Reeing stepped in and won what may have been a huge game for the Jayhawks against Colorado and had a hand in last week's victory at Iowa State.
The Jayhawks are now just a single victory away from being bowl eligible.
Luckily, Reesing and Huard each had a right-hand man to aide in their success. Senior running back Jon Cornish broke 1,100 yards rushing last weekend at Iowa State, while Huard had the powerhouse known as Larry Johnson to consistently move the ball.
Not to mention the go-to tight ends. Last Saturday, Meier and Reesing both connected with junior tight end Derek Fine for a pair of touchdowns. How did Kansas City's tight end fare last weekend? That's right, the phenomenon named Tony Gonzalez had a couple of touchdown receptions himself.
As stressful as our lives may be, living and dying by our teams' successes and failures, at least they've the courtesy to synchronize their ups and downs.

TIP-OFF
ATA GLANCE
Expectations are high for the Jayhawks in their regular season opener. Kansas made it through exhibition play with a pair of lopsided victories against Washburn and Emporia State. However, the Jayhawks were challenged in both games and didn't really pull away until the second half of each. Kansas led Emporia State, which was picked to finish ninth out of 10 teams in its conference, by only four at halftime Tuesday. The Jayhawks were unstoppable after halftime in their exhibition games, though, scoring a combined 99 points and holding opponents to 55 total second half points.
4 QUICK FACTS
4 number of straight home games Kansas has to begin the regular season.
6 — number of Jayhawks who averaged double figures during exhibition play.
34 — number of consecutive home-opener victories Kansas would have with a win.
77 total number of points Kansas has outscored Northern Arizona in two all-time meetings.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Freshman forward Darrell Arthur stole the show in his exhibition debut, leading all Jayhawks in scoring with 21 and nabbing an astounding six

steals. He even threw in six boards, two blocks and a three pointer. However, in nearly as many minutes on
Tuesday, he made only three of 11 field goals on his way to 12 points. Arthur did bring down 10 rebounds, but that was against an undersized Emporia State team. Kansas fans will get a better idea of who the real "Shady" is Saturday against a taller Northern Arizona squad.
QUESTION MARK
How will Kansas' frontcourt fare against Northern Arizona?
Kansas out-rebounded an average sized Washburn team by only one and allowed Ichabod big men to score 55 points. Kansas performed better down low against Emporia State, but the Hornets were drastically undersized. This Northern Arizona team is bigger and better than Washburn, so Kansas' frontcourt had better be ready.

KANSAS VS. NORTHERN ARIZONA 7 p.m., Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse, Jayhawk Television
Kansas
Offense
Offense is not a problem for Kansas. The Jayhawks shot 44.7 percent from the field as a team during exhibition play. Even without sharpshooter Jeremy Case, Kansas also proved dangerous from behind the three-point line. The Jayhawks three-point percentage was also 44.7 against Washburn and Emporia State. Kansas has benefited from second-chance shots and forwards Julian Wright and Darnell Jackson are a big reason why. The two combined for 20 of Kansas' 40 offensive rebounds during exhibition play. The third predominant member of Kansas' frontcourt is forward Darrell Arthur. Arthur was the Jayhawks' leading scorer in the preseason, posting 33 total points against the Ichabods and Hornets. Turnovers weren't really a problem for Kansas in its exhibition games, but it should be wary of getting careless with the ball on Saturday. Northern Arizona's only exhibition opponent committed 32 turnovers.
KU KU KU
Defense
Northern Arizona
Arthur put on a defensive clinic against Washburn. In 22 minutes he had six steals, two blocks and four defensive rebounds. Guan Mario Chalmers wasn't far behind with three steals and three defensive boards. Against Emporia State, guard Sherron Collins is the team with three steals. In just two games, Kansas nabbed steals and Washburn and Emporia State combined for 47 turnovers. Kansas' defense has picked up in the second half of games. While Washburn's field goal percentage dropped slightly in the second half, Emporia State's percentage fell nearly 35 percent. Where Kansas clearly needs to improve on defense is rebounding. Washburn had two more.defensive rebounds than Kansas. Last Tuesday, Kansas had only four more defensive rebounds than Emporia State. Kansas also needs to play balanced defense. Washburn's post players combined for 55 of the Ichabods' 69 points. The next game, Emporia State's starting guards combined for 30 of the Hornets' 55 points.
Offense
KU KU KU
Northern Arizona lost its best player from last season in Kelly Golob to graduation. Golob was an all-conference forward and led the team in scoring last season. But it isn't a stretch to say Northern Arizona will fill his scoring void with relative ease this season with a combination of inside play and long-range bombing. Four of the Lumberjacks' five starters from last season return from a team that won the regular season Big Sky title and was a win away from the NCAA tournament. Three players return that averaged double figures last season. Ruben Boykin, a 6-7 senior forward, was all-conference last season, averaging 13.3 points per game and 7.2 rebounds. Senior guard Tyrone Bazy was the conference newcomer of the year and averaged 11.5 points per game. Bazy scored 17 points in the Lumberjacks lone exhibition game but can be stopped if teams force him to shoot behind the arc. He was 0-3 shooting threees in the opener and hit only 6-of-60 three pointers a season ago. Senior guard Stephen Sir more than makes up for Bazy's ineptness beyond the arc. Sir, a sixth man last year, led the nation in three-point shooting percentage, hitting 48.9 percent of his three-point tries. Junior newcomer Nathan Geiser, a 6-4 guard from Northern Oklahoma College, shot 45 percent beyond the arc last season at NOC and averaged 17 points per game.
LUMBER JACKS
Momentum
Kansas didn't have the most productive preseason. Although standout freshmen Arthur and Collins look like the genuline articles, veterans have been dropping like flies. In a matter of days, starting center Sasha Kaun injured his knee, guard Jeremy Case pulled his groin, Chalmers sprained his toe, and center C.J. Giles was dismissed from the team. Chalmers is the only one expected to play on Saturday. On the bright side, the Jayhawks should no longer have to deal with the distractions Giles brought to the team and now that they are playing for real, coach Bill Self won't be mixing and matching lineups as much. The key (healthy) elements of this team - players like Russell Robinson, Chalmers, Collins, Brandon Rush, Wright, Arthur, and Jackson - should play better on both ends of the court the more minutes they play together.
Defense
It wasn't defense that won Northern Arizona the Big Sky championship last year. The Lumberjacks gave up 70.7 points per game and their opponents shot 45.2 percent. In comparison, the Jayhawks gave up only 61.3 points per game and held opponents to 37 percent. In the lone exhibition game, Northern Arizona gave up 74 points to a Division II team, Fort Lewis College.

NAU TIP-OFF
ATAGLANCE
Northern Arizona enters the game a big underdog to No. 3 Kansas. The Lumberjacks will have to depend on their deep backcourt. Emporia State was able to exploit Kansas' perimeter defense. If the Lumberjacks sophomore point guard Josh Wilson, who led the team with 195 assists last season, can get into the lane and kick the ball out to the Lumberjacks' prolific three point shooters, they could surprise the Jayhawks. They are the type of experienced mid-major team, like a Ball State or Richmond, that can provide a big time program like Kansas an early head-scratching defeat.

'Death by Duct Tape takes first at film festival
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Fourty-eight hours after being told to create a short film, four KU students presented their story about a student who freed his friend's soul from a possessed roll of duct tape.
The first Student Union Activities and KU Filmworks film festival was held Saturday in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union. The requirements of the festival were for students to create a film in only 48 hours. The films had to have a power theme and make use of duct tape.
The winning film was created by Cory Keller, Abilene sophomore, Jon Tenholder, Topeka sophomore, Matt Eaton, Riley sophomore and Alex Kitowski, Abilene sophomore.
Tenholder said the idea developed Thursday night during and after dinner at a local Chinese restaurant.
Judges based their decision on creativity, content and use of the theme and duct tape.
Some of the good deeds included patching a flat tire, taping a fallen branch back on to a tree and taping a crack in the sidewalk.
"Chinese food always helps prepare us." Tenhole said.
Keller said the group ran into problems when filming and had to change their idea. They originally wanted to film inside a store but did not receive permission.
The groups were given the requirements and a camera on Thursday night. They then had two days to shoot and edit a short film for presentation.
"Death by Duct Tape" was about a man who dies after a blow to the head from a roll of duct tape. His soul becomes trapped in the roll, and his friend must then perform good deeds with the tape in order to free his friend's soul.
"The beginning and ending were kind of changed around but the basic story line stayed the same," Keller said.
The group also ran into computer problems when finishing the film.
The four team members received iPod Nanos and Apple T-shirts for first place. Second place winners received $25 Best Buy gift certificate and Apple T-shirts. Third place received $15 Best Buy gift certificate and Apple T-shirts.
"It took us like five or six hours just to get it transferred off onto DVD" Tenholder said.
This was the first time any member of the group had entered a film into a competition.

BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
The room fills with a rich, intricate sound one might expect to hear at a wedding or funeral. But no one's walking down the aisle of Bales Organ Recital Hall, adjacent to the Lied Center, where Harries practices several times each week.
Harries, an organ and church music major, hopes to be a fulltime church music director. His day will be filled with conducting ensembles, directing and organizing music for services, playing at weddings and funerals and, in more traditional churches, playing the organ.
Mark Harries shakes his shaggy, light-brown hair back from his eyes and moves the organ bench with a screech to make room for his 6-foot-4 frame. His fingers, which he says are stubby for an organist, begin to glide along the three rows of ox bone keys.
Harries enjoys listening to and playing Bach and church hymns. His favorite composer is Arvo Pärt, an Estonian composer who writes strictly sacred music, dedicated to a religious purpose.
Harries has an aura of sincerity that looks at home behind his organ.
WHAT: Mark Harries' senior organ recital
Organ Recital
WHERE: Bales Organ Recital Hall, 1600 Stewart Drive (next to the Lied Center)
WHEN: 7:30 tonight
The concert is free.
But the polite, soft-spoken senior from Vassar also plays drums for local rock band, Marry Me Moses. Despite its name, the band does not play Christian rock, although the name was chosen randomly while searching through the Bible.
Many Sundays Harries substitutes on organ in local churches. But on Tuesday nights, Harries plays the drums in the basement of lead singer Ted Kritikos' house on New Jersey Street.
Harries tries to play softly. He said police have shown up twice on noise complaints.

Spotlight on Organizations
BY MEGAN HIRT
The KU Swing Society gets a corner of the University of Kansas campus jumpin' and jivin' in old jazz fashion every Tuesday.
KU Swing Society
Swing nights at Ecumenical Christian Institutes, 1204 Oread Ave., begin with free swing lessons at 9:00 p.m. The joint stays jumpin' with a $2 open dance until midnight.
Swing Society president Alix Augustine, Shawnee junior, said anywhere from 20 to 60 people attend Tuesday swing nights. The gatherings are not just a great opportunity to dance, but are also ideal social occasions.
"A lot of girls go because it looks
like a lot of boys, and boys come to meet those girls," Augustine said.
Swing dance organizations are now common at universities, thanks in part to the fast-paced east coast swing style that became popular in the late 1990s. The Swing Society became a KU organization in January 2004. Augustine said the group welcomes all styles of swing, from the fast-footed balboa to smooth blues dancing.
Earlier in November, the organization brought swing dance specialists Mike Faltesek and Nina Gilkenson to campus for a weekend workshop. The internationally-known instructors shared their expertise with more than 70 people. The workshop was part of
MoKanSwing), an event that brought together swing fans from Missouri and Kansas. The weekend culminated with a night of contests and open dancing in downtown Kansas City.
Augustine said that no prior dance experience was needed to swing dance, only a comfy pair of shoes and a willingness to try it and to make mistakes.
"Girls sometimes get disappointed and quit coming if they don't get it right away when they have been doing ballet, jazz or tap for years," Augustine said. "But this style of dance is very different from those dance styles that are based almost entirely on choreography. Swing and other partner dancing is mostly improvisation."
Because the style depends more on partner interaction than choreography; the Swing Society does not have recital performances. The group is hoping to host another weekend workshop next semester, Augustine said.
Tuesday nights are the best opportunities to catch KU's swarm community in action and connect with fellow dance enthusiasts.
"I'ts just a great way to meet people," Augustine said.

New Zealand high schools allow 'text-speak' on tests
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand's high school students will be able to use "text-speak" — the mobile phone text message language beloved of teenagers — in national exams this year, officials said.

Professor, former student compile story collection
BY BEN SMITH
The contemplative portrait of William Faulkner shook slightly as James Carothers, professor of English, signed his name on the title page Friday afternoon in the North Gallery of Spencer Research Library.
Further down from Carothers, Theresa Towner, associate professor of literature at the University of Texas at Dallas and a former student of Carothers, also signed copies of the book "Reading Faulkner:
The signing and brief reception was a celebration of the publication of the 501-page reader's guide and the end of a five-year project that Carothers and Towner worked on together.
The purpose of the book, Towner and Carothers said, was to aid readers of Faulkner's short stories, giving background and commentary on each tale and providing explanations of certain terminology.
"It's intended to be completely accessible, written with general readers in mind," Towner said.
The two co-authors divided 42 of Faulkner's stories and systematically researched and analyzed the stories editing each other's work as they went.
The collection includes "Barn Burning," "A Rose for Emily" and "Shingles of the Lord," stories that were said at the reception to be well-read in high school and college courses.
Towner, a KU graduate, said it felt wonderful to work with Carothers again.
"It's the kind of project that was so big we each of us couldn't do it alone," she said. "It was a massive project. A lot of fun to do and I feel I learned a lot."
Towner said it was challenging to compile all the data for the book. She pointed out that the works cited section of the book had more than 20 pages listing the various sources she and Carothers used "chasing down allusions to things that have come and gone, such as World War I slang and songs."
Carothers said he agreed that the
project had been long and trying.
"I've been saying it was like trying to pave a six-sane, transcontinental highway with one-inch ceramic tiles." Carothers said.
At times, Carothers said, the only thing that kept him going was the thought of the reception.
However, Carothers said he remained a great admirer of Faulkner. He has been attending the annual Faulkner conference in Oxford, Miss., since 1979.
“it's sort of like going to Faulkner camp?” Carothers said. “You see people you've met in previous years and
new people. And there's food."
Carothers said he recalled spending time with his colleagues reading paragraphs out of Faulkner's works and discussing them.
The book was published in May 2006 by the University Press of Mississippi and is available at Oread books in the Kansas Union.

Creating Change conference aims to improve LGBT rights
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
T-shirts, posters, magazines and condoms were displayed on several floors of the Westin Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo., last weekend, all promoting the same cause: lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender rights.
About 2,000 supporters, advocates and prominent members of the LGBT community filled the hotel for five days for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's 19th annual Creating Change conference.
Pedro Julio Serrano, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force communications coordinator, said the Task Force held the conference in Kansas City this year for its first year in the Midwest. The conference has previously been held on the East or West coasts in places such as San Francisco, Miami and New York.
"We think that LGBT people are everywhere in the country and we think that it is important to come to the heartland and speak to our LGBT people and allies here to create a broader and stronger social
justice movement," Serrano said.
"Being that the conference is so close to Kansas I hope it reminds people that we are not alone in our fight for equality and that we have a whole nation of LGBT and allied members behind us," Pryor said. "I hope those who were able to attend can bring back what they took from the conference and spread it through KU and our local communities."
Jonathan Pryor, KU Queers and Allies director and Columbus senior, was not able to attend the conference but said he hoped that it would help to spread awareness and tolerance in the community.
Held just days after the 2006 election, this year's conference focused on building political power within the LGBT community. The conference took advantage of the gathering to set the agenda for issues, concerns and actions that will be undertaken in the upcoming year.
Serrano said the Task Force is targeting the rights of the transgender, disabled and multicultural segments of the LGBT community.
The conference also discussed the HIV/AIDS crisis, which began 25 years ago. Several key figures in the AIDS awareness and support movement spoke about the disease's pervasive effects on Saturday.
"One of the things we are focusing
Marjorie J. Hill, Gay Men's Health Crisis chief executive officer, roused the crowd to take action on awareness, prevention and assistance of the disease.She said there are 40,000 new cases each year in the United States.
on now is that there can not be a federal non-discrimination law without including transgender individuals." Serrano said. "That can not happen and we will not let it happen."
"The answer here is not about HIV," Hill said during her speech. "It's about creating change."

Pakistani musician Salman Ahmad counts former President Bill Clinton and U2's Bono as fans. A KU student organization hopes that after tonight, Ahmad will also be able to count KU students among his fans as well.
Musician Salman Ahmad to visit University
South Asia's most famous musician will perform songs, screen a film and answer questions in a free event at 8 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Alamad made the trek to the University as part of a four-part pit stop in the Midwest; his visit to Lawrence was organized by the Pakistani Student Association.
Ahmad is a guitarist and songwriter for the band Junoon, whose music is characterized as "sufi rock," eastern rhythm songs of peace and praise in the Islamic tradition. He also works as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador on HIV/AIDS.
Fahd Latif, Pakistani Student Association president and Peshawar, Pakistan senior, said the organization wanted to bring Ahmed to the University to spread his message of goodwill that is praised by the likes
of the former President and a U2 musician.
"This is important for KU to allow the Pakistani Student Association to introduce the campus to Pakistan culture," Latif said. "We can't think of anyone better than Salman to represent us in a peaceful way."
Ahmad will screen an award-winning film he helped to produce entitled "It's My Country Too" about the place of Muslims in a post-Sept. 11 society. Ahmad said he has been working throughout his career to bridge cultures and raise awareness. In recent years, he has spoken about peace between India and Pakistan.
"The reason I became a musician was to share this music and culture and play for people," Ahmad said. "After 9/11 there was all this talk of conflicts and fear of the Muslim world. I felt that my music was a bridge between these cultures, and I think it is important to bring this message to the Midwest."
Imran Ghazali, Pakistani Student Association treasurer and Lahore, Pakistan sophomore, contacted Ahmad's manager months ago in an effort to bring Ahmad's message to the Midwest. Ghazali said he hoped
the event would entice a variety of cultures to attend.
"I'm expecting that we will get attention of not just Pakistani or Indian, but also American and other multicultural students as well because Ahmad's music is a different kind of music." Ghazali said.
Ahmad said he simply wants to leave a message of honesty and acceptance with the University.
"I want to leave the message to look at life and look at people with heart," Ahmad said. "If you look at them that way, masks will fall down. In my own life I don't really look at people as east or west, and that is the theme of my own music — if you look at people with heart, things become visible."
Information on the translation of lyrics and videos of Ahmad's songs that will be performed tonight can be found at: www.isufrock.com or www.junoon.com.

ORGAN (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN
1. The upper part of the organ has a series of pipes arranged in horizontal rows, with a distinctively decorated canopy above them.
2. The lower part of the organ features a large pipe system with numerous pipes, set against a backdrop of ornate architectural details. A figure sits in front of the organ, seemingly observing or playing it.
Mark Harries, a senior organ and church music major, wants to be a church music director someday. The job would likely entail organizing music for church services, conducting ensembles, playing at weddings and funerals, and in most traditional churches, playing the organ. Harries is one of four organ and church music undergraduates at the University of Kansas.
The scene at a typical band practice is decidedly less sophisticated than the wood-panled recital hall
Cracked, yellow-painted walls and a cement floor scattered with beer caps dominate Kritikos' basement, contrasting the stained glass windows, high ceiling and rows of seats in the recital hall.
But looks can be deceiving.
Sitting behind his blue glittered drum set, sipping on a Beck's Oktoberfest beer, Harries looked less like a church organist and more like a Lawrence hipster.
Davidson shot him an "as if" look. "What the hell does that mean?" she asked.
"Play that in the sixth scale degree," he matter-of-factly told Jenny Davidson, the band's bass player.
Despite some confusion, Harries'
85
bandmates tend to be understanding of his formal musical knowledge.
"The pipe organ is the hardest musical instrument on earth to play; You're playing
Bach, you have two different manuals, you're playing with your feet, and you're pulling out stops," Kritikos said. "Rock drumming is quite possibly the easiest."
Kritikos said the band was glad to have Harries because his organ skills, including his sense of rhythm and general musical knowledge, made him a more musical drummer.
Harries even played accordion for one of the songs.
"He just played the keyboard part, but it got people's attention," Kritikos said.
Harries said the drums and organ were completely different, but complemented one another.
Michael Bauer, professor of organ and church music, agreed that the two instruments correlate.
"It's probably the most impor
tant thing for an organist to have a really good sense of rhythm," Bauer said. "I would think that percussion would help develop that."
Besides drums and organ, Harries
He and his girlfriend, Anne Kretsinger, share a passion for music. They are in a concert choir together and have been dating for two years.
is interested in conducting choirs, something he'll likely do as a church music director.
Harries liked that his chosen career path involved going to church every Sunday. He said religion plays a big part in what he does.
"He's majoring in something that he really loves," she said. "It's a hobby,
but it's also kind of his career too."
"Ultimately I'm doing it because I feel I've been given a gift and someday I'm going to have to answer to that," Harries said. "First and foremost you're playing for God. He's your audience and you're using your talents to serve. The secondary purpose is to lead the congregation."
Church music is in Harries' genes. His father, Tom Harries, was a church organist for years and is now a Lutheran pastor.
The elder Harries said music always came naturally to Mark.
"We have a photo of him when he was little in pjs on his tiptoes to reach the piano keys," he said.
The younger Harries wrote his first composition titled "The February Second Castle Song," in second grade. Feb. 2 is his birthday.
Harries hopes to write compositions of his own in church music.
Bauer, his professor, said full-time jobs in organ and church music were in high demand. He has had eleven different church music jobs himself.
Harries, who will play his senior organ recital at 7:30 tonight at Bales Organ Recital Hall, said he arranged to have colored lights swirl the room as he plays a piece he says is "closely related to techno."
Harries rarely settles for the ordinary. He said his dream job was to be a composer, something that was difficult in the general music world, but feasible in church music.
"Within the church music world they're not looking for super hard music, they're looking for music that average church players can do and I like the challenge of putting that limitation on it by writing something really good," he said.
Harrises is contemplating graduate school to earn a master's degree in church music. He will graduate in May with an undergraduate degree in church and organ music.

Memorial dedicated five years after crash

Seth Wenig/Associated Press
Nannette Forteza rests her hand on the name of her husband during the dedication of the Flight 587 memorial on the fifth anniversary of the crash in New York Sunday. The memorial remembers those who died on Nov. 12, 2001, when American Airlines Flight 587 crashed, killing more than 260 people.
BY JENNIFER PELTZ ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Hundreds of relatives and friends of the victims in the nation's second deadliest air accident dedicated a much-awaited memorial Sunday with mementoes and mixed emotions.
Wearing their loss on T-shirts, scarves and buttons, families clutching red roses and photographs gathered on a foggy beachfront to look up the names of 265 loved ones killed when American Airlines Flight 587 crashed five years ago.
"It's something that we can come to and pray," said Ana Lora, who placed a model car near the name of her brother, Jose Francisco Lora, who collected cars. "This is something that, really, we need."
the memorial marks years of effort to create a tangible remembrance of the crash, which killed all 260 people on board and another five in the quiet Queens neighborhood where the jet fell. The National Transportation Safety Board eventually determined that the tail of the Airbus A300 had fallen off, and the agency blamed
pilot error, inadequate pilot training and overly sensitive rudder controls.
The disaster jarred a city still raw and fearful after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center two months before. The loss was also felt heavily in the Dominican Republic, where Flight 587 was bound from John F. Kennedy International Airport. Many passengers were of Dominican heritage.
Designed by a Dominican artist, the $9.2 million memorial is a curved wall inscribed with the names of the dead. Cutouts, where weeping relatives placed roses, wreaths and photographs, provide a view of the sea.
"Your ideas and your memories have been woven into it," Mayor Michael Bloomberg told those gathered Sunday.
But the memorial also was shaped by tensions about its location -- a seaside park rather than the residential street where the plane crashed -- and some victims' relatives were still coming to terms with the outcome Sunday. After the city-sponsored ceremony, mourners flocked to an impromptu memorial around a tree at the crash site.

OPINION
》 OUR VIEW
In an imperfect world, America has problems, too
We have seen a significant spike lately in the amount of attention and coverage devoted to the Darfur crisis in Africa. The atrocities committed there, genocide among them, have sparked outrage in the global community, including on our own campus. Our ignorance of the Rwanda crisis in the early 1990s has made us much more sensitive to such humanitarian crises, perhaps the only positive result of that ter-
tribe tragedy,
Our awareness of global problems, and our subsequent outrage,
is at a heightened state.
This is encouraging,
but we must
be careful
not to allow
our attention
to international incidents completely overwhelm our knowledge of domestic problems. Our nation, thankfully, has no problems on par with genocide, but that does not mean it is a perfect place. Millions of Americans sit in squallid poverty, and millions more lack health insurance, any means of accruing savings, or equal opportunity education. The so-called "high cost of being poor" shows itself in higher insurance rates, costlier groceries and prescriptions, and exorbitant utility rates.
world history. But the problem in America is that our problems are often hidden, especially to members of an isolated campus community. Many poor people are relegated to extreme rural or urban areas, places rarely frequented by the average student. Thus, we do not often get to see poverty at its worst, and we certainly don't see systemic but hidden problems such as the lack of health insurance.
Our awareness of the crisis in Darfur and other problems around the world is encouraging, but we must be careful not to forget about our own struggles here at home.
Even the least perspicacious mind can see that these problems are nowhere near the level of severity we see in genocide, torture and rape. And yes, the lives of Americans are predominantly better than any citizens'in
As students, we often become victims of our own environment of success. We look around and see many people just like us - wealthy enough to attend a university, largely unaffected by
the aforementioned class problems, and mostly beset by the semi-humorous "poor student" lifestyle. With this setting as our frame of reference, it becomes easy for us to forget that just outside our campus people sit in abject poverty, people for whom an apartment in the "student ghetto" is an impossible dream.
Our nation has been lucky enough to avoid the problems endured by too many third world countries, and by no means should we ignore the ills that plague those countries. But let us be careful, in our rush to ease the global misery, to not forget that we have plenty of problems right here at home.

And sadly, these people aren't way off when describing the way a lot people at the University of Kansas live their lives. The stereotypical college student is one who drinks a lot, procrastinates, and is lazy. Movies like Animal House, PCU and Van Wilder have perpetuated this stereotype and sadly a large portion of students at the University are becoming exactly like characters in these movies.

have any real goals in mind.
Being from Johnson County, I've had my fair share of stereotypes placed upon me. Supposedly I drive an SUV, am really rich, and stuck-up.' I've done all I can to fight against these stereotypes. Since I was 16, I've driven my mom's 1993 Nissan Quest minivan and would be happy driving that for the rest of my life.
But strangely enough, a lot of people are content with acting just like everyone else. They're content
with getting drunk on Thursday nights and revving their engines to show some sort of power over others. Why is this?
When I look around the University, I see so much potential. I see some people who are truly doing something special with their lives. But at the same time I see people who don't seem to have any aspirations in life other than partying and getting laid.
This problem doesn't necessarily stop after college, either. Many people look at their post-college life and think, "After graduating, I want to get a high-paying job, get married, have kids, and retire." It's not to say there's anything wrong with these things, but to me it's exciting to see someone who's trying a little harder to get something more out of life, such as traveling overseas, writing a book, doing social work in
As a creative writing major, I'm told on a frequent basis, "That's not a practical major." But maybe there's more to life than a hefty paycheck. Maybe I don't want to graduate and wear a suit and tie for the next 45 years. Maybe I'm just a dreamer, but people without dreams or aspirations are boring.
So when you think about your life, truly think about what you're doing. "Am I doing exactly what everyone else is doing or am I trying to do something greater?" Perhaps your career goal isn't safe. Maybe you'll fail over and over again, but at least you tried. Because the only thing worse than a failure is the people who didn't try at all.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Galactica' explores Iraq war, offers insight
A furious woman skulks into the factory with a satchel cradled in her hands. The security guard calls for her to stop and asks to look in her bag. She freezes. The guard moves toward her and she pulls a small pistol from the satchel. She shoots the guard and vaults over a railing just in time to detonate the bomb she has strapped to herself under her clothing before the other guards can reach her.
No, this isn't a scene from war-
born Iraq. It's a scene from the Oct.
13 season premiere of Battlestar
Galactica.
Galactica, the SciFi network's most popular show, began in 2003 as a metaphor for 9/11 and its ratings were outstanding for a cable show. Then, at the beginning of the third season, the show's writers went in a new direction. The show became a metaphor for the U.S. occupation of Iraq and it lost viewers in droves.
Fans liked the show's original 9/11 metaphor. Man-made robots called Cylons carried out a surprise
attack and destroyed civilization on humanity's 12 planetary colonies. This sent the last humans — about 50,000 people — running toward a distant safe haven. And this was good. The Cylons were al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. The humans were the noble Americans who struggled to make sense of the tragedy that happened so close to home.
As fans followed the human Colonial Fleet in its flight from certain destruction, they recognized parallels between the government of United States and the fictional government on the show. Both had a president who did "not negotiate with terrorists." Both had rival factions, each of which thought it knew what was best for the people. Both dealt with dissension from within.
Eventually, though, the villainous, human-looking Cylons became characters in and of themselves. The show's writers revealed them as discerning individuals with complex codes of morality that couldn't easily be dismissed as "evil," much like
the Iraqi people. Fans were taken aback but gave the show some lee way because it was engaging and thoughtful.
Then the timbre of the show changed at the end of the second season. Humanity settled a new planet, not its original destination, but one capable of supporting life and providing shelter, with the investment of some hard work. And the Cylons found them.
Eight online-only, between-season "webisodes" at scifi.com and the first five episodes of season three chronicled a human "insurgency" against the Cylon force occupying the new planet. Suicide bombings, a human-staffed police force working for the Cylons and storing weapons in a religious temple topped the list of issues touched upon during the episodes.
If this sounds familiar, it should.
The premiere episode of season three lost about one million viewers compared to the premier of season two, according to tw.com. In comments in response to the Web site's
If this sounds familiar, it should.
article, users repeatedly criticized Galactica's tendency to "preach." Season three has continued to see falling ratings.
Unfortunately, viewers are turned off by the idea that the Cylons, once the show's terrorists and villains, are now obviously meant to represent the U.S. troops in Iraq. The humans working with the Cylons are meant to be the Iraqis seen as collaborators by their fellow citizens.
The show reminded some viewers of unpleasant realities they would rather not think about on a Friday evening. OK, there's a rising death toll in Iraq, composed of both Iraqi citizens and U.S. troops, but surely there's no place for that in what is supposed to be an enjoyable hour of television.
The majority of American young adults — those composing the largest portion of Galactica's audience — are overwhelmingly apathetic about the war in Iraq, according to abc.com. They would rather not be reminded of the "Iraq problem." For every Iraqi who wants the United
States' help in Iraq, there are two who are willing to support violent opposition to the troops, according to a Sept. 27 poll conducted by the Program on International Policy Attitudes. The show's fans would rather ignore this fact, and they certainly don't need their television shows reminding them.
Americans shouldn't shy away from difficult themes in fiction. These themes should be embraced and Galactica's writers should be praised for exploring a real-world dilemma through a fictional medium. In fiction, situations can be analyzed in ways that aren't possible in the real world. Fiction can give insight into the Iraqi mind, for instance, and that shouldn't be offputting or seem preach to anyone who cares about understanding humanity.

ROTC candidates Stephen Thomas, Leavenworth sophomore, and Erik Runge, Emporia junior, stand guard at the KU Korean War Memorial during a 24-hour vigil. Commemorating Veteran's Day, members of the Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC programs stood one-hour shifts throughout the vigil, posting at both the Korean and Vietnam War Memorials.
Stover-Kendrick referenced classic leadership definitions by famous soldiers before offering her own definition to the cadets.
"Leadership is unselfishness," she said. "It's doing what must be done without conscious or unconscious thought or concern about how it will affect you."
While she spoke, Stover-Kendrick shared the stage with a table accompanied by four empty chairs. The table represented the prisoners of war and soldiers missing in action who could not be present at the ceremony.

Facts about Veterans Day
Veterans Day was first celebrated as Armistice Day in 1919 when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as a holiday to celebrate the treaty that ended major hostilities in World War I.
The treaty preceded the Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended the war, by seven months and was signed on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs Web site, the original concept was to observe the holiday with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11 a.m.
In 1938, an act of Congress officially made the day a legal holiday to honor World War I veterans. In 1954, after the mobilization of troops in World War II and Korea, the act was amended to change the holiday to Veterans Day to honor the veterans of all wars.
A 1968 law required the holiday be celebrated on a Monday regardless of the date to guarantee three-day weekends for federal employees. Several veterans organizations and state legislatures opposed the change and in 1975 President Gerald Ford signed a law dictating the holiday be celebrated on its original date of Nov. 11.

WORLD Government says Castro won't live through 2007
WASHINGTON — The government believes Fidel Castro's health is deteriorating and that the Cuban dictator is unlikely to live through 2007.
U. S. government officials believe that the 80-year-old has terminal cancer of the stomach, colon or pancreas.
He was seen weakened and thinner in official state photos released late last month, and it is considered unlikely that he will return to power or survive through the end of next year, said the U.S. government and defense officials, speaking in anonymity.
Cuba has only known one leader in 47 years. Castro temporarily ceded power to his brother, Raul, at the end of July just before the government announced that the president was having intestinal surgery.
Questions abound about what
comes after Castro.
Because of the current transition to Raul Castro, unrest among the Cuban population is considered unlikely. "I have not seen one credible report about riots or demonstrations ... not one credible challenge to the succession," Latell said.
Nevertheless, the U.S. government is preparing for a range of scenarios. For instance, the Miamibased U.S. Southern Command is working with the Coast Guard and Homeland Security Department on training and planning to minimize the impact of any mass migration out of Cuba.
"We are not expecting a mass migration, but are ready for that possibility," said Jose Ruiz, a Southern Command spokesman.
The United States has long wanted to see an end of Communist rule in Cuba.
During an interview on Fox News last week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the goal is to have Cuba hold democratic elections.

Kansas falls short in championship
LARAS 23
Ryan McGeenev/KANSAN
Kelly Kohn, freshman guard, sprints past Iowa's Kristi Smith for an attempted basket Sunday at the WBCA Classic in Kansas City, Mo. Although the Jayhawks had enjoyed a sound victory over Seton Hall the night before, they fell short against Iowa in the championship match, Josinge 63-49.
Low scoring percentages doom Jayhawks
BY CASE KEEFER
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It wasn't until three minutes remained in the WBCA championship game that Lindsay Ballgwet hit the Javhawks' first three-point shot.
It wasn't due to a lack of attempts. Kansas shot only 1-for-13 from three-point range and 33 percent overall in a 63-49 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes.
"It's frustrating when you go into practice standing at that arch and knocking them down, then you get into the game and you just don't have the momentum you should have." freshman guard Kelly Kohn said.
Kohn had no problem finding the basket in Sunday's game, but had difficulty knocking down her shots. In 28 minutes, she was only 2-for-12 from the floor.
"I need to start recognizing better shots for myself," she said. "When to take it all the way in, and when to pull up."
Once again, Marija Zinic was the high point of the Jayhawk's performance. Zinic scored 16 points and played well defensively against Iowa's 6-foot-6 sophomore center, Megan Skouby.
"If there's anything we've taken away from the weekend, it's gaining the trust to throw it into Marija." coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Zinic was the only Jayhawk selected to the all-tournament team. The Jayhawks advanced to the championship game against Iowa after defeating Seton Hall 64-50 on Saturday.
Iowa had three players recognized as all-tournament. The Hawkeyes also possessed a noticeable size advantage against Kansas. Three of the team's starters were at least 6-feet tall, as opposed to only Zinic for the lavwhaws.
"They had a lot of tall players," Zinic said. "But I think we did a pretty decent job with them."
The Jayhawks didn't let size dictate the game. Kansas led Iowa in points in the paint, 32-20 and offensive rebounds, 18-7.
The Jayhawks got off to a fast start, shooting 66 percent in the first seven minutes of the game. Following a fast break layup from Kelly Kohn, Kansas was only down 15-14.
In the second half, the Jayhawks got off to another quick start with a 12-2 run.

Jayhawks win opener
Sophomore Brandon Rush scores 21, leads team to 91-57 victory
ASIS 25
Brandon Rush, sophomore guard, drives down the court in Allen Fieldhouse Saturday night. Rush said he "came out more aggressive" in the regular season opener against Northern Arizona. He scored 21 points, had four assists and one steal in 27 minutes of play.
Jared Gab/KANSAN
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Sophomore guard Brandon Rush said he started a chain of events in Friday's practice that ended in coach Bill Self kicking the entire team out of practice. After Saturday's game against Northern Arizona, Rush knocked down a microphone before the post-game press conference.
But during Kansas 91-57 defeat of Northern Arizona, the sophomore guard could do no wrong.
Coming off a subpar preseason where he shot just 29 percent from the field, averaging 11 points in two games. Rush reminded everyone that he is Kansas All-American on Saturday.
"Today I came out more aggressive," Rush said. "And my teammates, they looked for me while I was open, so that really got me off to a good start in the first half and it just rolled over to the second half."
In addition to his six rebounds, four assists and a steal, Rush shot 64 percent from the field on his way to 21 points — just three points shy of his career high. If not for the lopsided score, he just might have surpassed his career high.
"I wanted to come out here and prove to everybody that I'm what everybody says I am." Rush said.
Making Rush's performance even more impressive was that he couldn't slack off on defense to focus on offense. He was matched up with Northern Arizona guard Stephen Sir, who led the NCAA in three-point percentage last season.
Sir did manage three three-point shots, but those were his only points of the game.
"One thing I was aware of going into the game was that he can play off me and still defend my shot because he has such long arms," Sir said of Rush. "I felt like I could have shot the ball a little better today, but a lot of that is because of him."
Like Rush, the rest of the Jayhawks also dominated the Lumberjacks.
Kansas owned the interior, outscoring Northern Arizona 44-16 in the paint. The Jayhaws outran the Lumberjacks as well, scoring 13 fast

Kansas hopes bye week will assist in victory against Kansas State for bowl eligibility
86
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Uh oh.
Charlie Rodel/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ron Prince just might have something brewing in Manhattan. And that could mean a whole lot of trouble for this weekend's Sunflower Showdown.
Kansas State wide receiver Cedric Wilson dives past Texas safety Marcus Griffin to score a touchdown during the third quarter of the Wildcats 45-42 victory Saturday. Kansas will play Kansas State this weekend at Memorial Stadium in the 104th game of the Sunflower Showdown.
The Wildcats certainly aren't the team picked to finish dead last in the Big 12 North Division. Fresh off its shocking 45-42 upset of No. 4 Texas Saturday, Kansas State should be the favorite coming into the game against Kansas. And with Kansas needing a victory in one of its last two games to become bowl eligible, a confident Wildcat team isn't exactly what Mark Maneino wanted to see.
The good news for Kansas is that the bye week has given the team chance to address some lingering injuries to freshman quarterback Kerry Meier and senior running back Jon Cornish. But, a week removed from its blowout victory against Iowa State, Kansas must find a way to pick
up where it left off.
Momentum and confidence are certainly something the Wildcats aren't short on now.
"To be honest with you, we told our players all week don't be surprised if you jump out early on these guys and beat them," Prince said.
"You could say that, but the kids believed it."
In the last 20 years, Kansas State is 8-1 against Kansas after a victory the week before. Another victory would give the Wildcats their best record in three seasons and put Prince and his team in contention for a late December bowl game.
For Kansas State, a victory the week before the Sunflower Showdown has usually been a good omen.
Big 12 power rankings
Kansas, though, has much more riding on Saturday's game than just bowl positioning. The Jayhawks have to actually qualify for a bowl game first. At 5-5, Kansas needs one more victory to become bowl eligible for the second-straight season.
1. Oklahoma 5. Missouri 9. Kansas
2. Nebraska 6. Kansas State 10. Colorado
3. Texas 7. Texas A&M 11. Baylor
4. Texas Tech 8. Oklahoma State 12. Iowa State
Texas falls from the top spot for the first time this season because of its shocking loss to Kansas State. Nebraska has already punched its ticket to the Big 12 Championship game in Kansas City.
The key in the 105th edition of the Showdown just might be the play of both teams' freshman quarterbacks. For Kansas, Meier has been sharp, when healthy. Meier had his best game of the season a week ago against Iowa State where he accounted for
With Freeman's gradual improvement, the Wildcats have gotten hot at just the right time.
two touchdowns. For the Wildcats, quarterback Josh Freeman certainly has the hot hand. Fresh off his four touchdown performance against Texas, Freeman was named the National Player of the Week by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
"Our plan was to be the best team in November," Freeman said. "That's the equivalent of playoff football —
be the best in November — and were on our way to do that."
That certainly seems like a possibility.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Heta Korpivaara scored a game-high 22 points to lead Seton Hall to a 61-55 victory against Missouri State in Sunday's consolation game of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association tournament.
Seton Hall (1-1), which lost 64-50 to Kansas in the first round Saturday, snapped a 12-game losing streak dating to Jan. 18 of this year, when the Pirates beat Providence 69-59.
Korpivaara, a 6-foot-2 senior from Finland, scored eight points in the final 3:56 as the Pirates broke open a close game. She also led Seton Hall with seven rebounds. Ela Mukosiej came off the bench to add nine points.

Rams lose left tackle for remainder of season
SEATTLE - The St. Louis Rams lost Pro Bowl left tackle Orlando Pace for the season after he
tore his left triceps Sunday against Seattle.

"I felt something snap a little bit," Pace said. "I thought my elbow might have been dislocated or something like that, but when I got to the sideline, they told me it was a torn triceps."
Pace left in the second quarter of the Rams' 24-22 loss to the Seahawks, dropping them two games back in the NFC West. The Rams announced the injury at halftime as a torn biceps muscle, but afterward Pace and coach Scott Linehan said he tore his triceps. Pace's arm was wrapped and immobilized and said he'll have an MRI on Monday.
Linehan ruled Pace out for the year.

Pace, who has been selected to seven consecutive Pro Bowls, was injured while pass blocking with about five minutes remaining in the first half. After a seven-yard pass, he held his limp left arm at his side and called for trainers to assist him off the field.

Shockers defeat Rockhurst
It has been three seasons since Missouri's last winning team, a drought mixed with controversy that prompted the school to dump Quin Snyder and hire Mike Anderson as coach. And despite any excitement about coach Mike Anderson's debut this weekend, the Tigers still played their first two home games in a less-than-half-full Mizzou Arena.
The Shockers ended the first half with a 45-19 lead on 59.3 percent shooting. Five Wichita State players had at least six points by the break, led by Ogirr's nine.
"If you build it," center Kalen Grimes said, "they will come."
Hawks, who were officially playing an exhibition, made only two field goals in the first 12 minutes.
After having more turnovers (nine) than baskets (eight) in the first half, Rockhurst had its best stretch immediately following half-time. Three-pointers from Aaron Hill, John Torson and Joey Deas

But Wichita State answered in highlight fashion. Phil Thomasson's dunk off a Gal Mekel pass and another Ogirri three-point shot capped a quick 7-0 run and the Shockers recaptured the moment.
— a 22-footer on the backboard
— cut Wichita State's lead to 49-32 with 15:22 remaining in the game.
Deas led the Hawks with 12 points, and Torson had 11 points.
PJ. Couisnard and Wilson each had 11 points for Wichita State.
The last of Snyder's seven seasons at Missouri resulted in a 12-16 record and an average of 9,951 people per home game, which ranked sixth in the Big 12 Conference. In Anderson's first game Friday, a 101-80 win over North
Carolina A&T, the announced attendance was 6,230. More people were in the seats for Saturday's 67-58 win against Army, but at 7,386 that meant the arena was still less than half of its capacity of 15,061.

Grimes said Anderson has mentioned to the players that winning games will create plenty of excitement.
Marshall Brown played to a half-empty home crowd for much of his first two seasons at Missouri. Though he agrees that winning will put fans in the seats, a less-than-full stadium doesn't bother him too much right now.
"That's what were playing for," he said. "We're playing to win, we're playing for ourselves and we're playing for Mizzou."
"I think it helps if you have that support really backing you," he said. "But if not, you know, we practice by ourselves every day, so I don't think the crowd has an effect on how hard we play."
Fans began to trickle in during the second half as Missouri's game with Army neared, yet fewer than 1,000 were watching at the finish.
"Those games should be the ones that test your mental toughness," he said. "Anybody can get up for a big rivalry game or a conference game or whatever. These are the ones you have to qrit out."
"You play because of the spirit of the game. You don't play because there are people there or not." North Carolina A&T coach Jerry Eaves said. "There will be people in the gym when the games mean something."
Following Stetson's 72-69 win over North Carolina A&T, played earlier Saturday, Stetson coach Derek Waugh guessed about 31 fans were watching. He was pretty close. Twenty-two seats were actually filled at the tip-off.
The three visiting teams in the John Thompson Foundation Classic have had it much worse.
Waugh said he expected the low turnout and he was proud of how his team handled it.

Julian Wright, sophomore forward, jokes with his teammates on the sideline while celebrating a slam dunk by Mario Chalmers.
Bill Self's squad powers into season
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
Bill Self is a great coach. He actually taught Darrell Arthur how to jump, catch and dunk.
"That's coaching." Self said, taking credit for Arthur's one-handed alley-oop from fellow freshman Brady Morningstar during the second half against Northern Arizona. "Throw it up as high as you can and let a really good athlete go get it. That's coaching — or recruiting."
I'd say it's the latter.
Self is a recruiting machine, as proven by this year's roster. For the first time ever, all of the jahwacks
— minus redshirt junior Jeremy Case — are Self's recruits.
The program is officially all yours, Bill. And what a talented program it is.
Arthur and freshman Sherron Collins would start right away at nearly every other school in the country, but not at Kansas. Although Collins started on Saturday in place of Mario Chalmers, who had an injured toe, Self said not to read into it.
"Over time, he's got to beat somebody out," Self said. "He may do it, but he's not quite ready yet."
Collins proved that a permanent role in the starting lineup is a possibility later in the season. With seven minutes left in the first half, he
showed how great he could be. Using a crossover, Collins sent his defender flying toward his right hand while the ball went to his left. This opened the baseline for two easy points, raising the crowd to its feet.
Usually no matter how much talent freshmen have, they still struggle to adjust to the college game.
Fans saw it last year at the Maui Invitational — where Kansas was out of control with inexperience — as well as with many freshmen before that. But Collins and Arthur are already further along than anyone I can remember. It's because of team chemistry. They both fit in perfectly at Kansas.
"That was the loudest I ever heard a gym," Collins said. "I feed off it."
When Collins spoke about sophomores Julian Wright and Brandon Rush, he said, "We do everything together. They've been like brothers to me."
The players support each other. They also know each other's games inside and out. When the Jayhawks play basketball, they play together, no matter who is in the game. Any combination of Kansas top-eight players is as good as the rest.
Collins and Arthur are going to get plenty of well-deserved minutes because of this, but they won't start just because they are freshman.
Oh well, they give Kansas the best bench in the country.

Junior forward Darnell Jackson earned his first regular season start since Dec. 22, 2004
Freshman guard Sherron Collins started in place of sophomore guard Marlo Chalmers, scoring 14 points and burying two of Kansas' six three-point shots. Chalmers played 16 minutes and posted five points, four rebounds, three steals and a block.
Kansas other star freshman Darrall Arthur came off the bench and scored 12 points, had six rebounds, three blocks, a steal and an assist.
The third member of Kansas' freshman class, Brady Morningstar, saw 14 minutes of action and played well. He posted two points, three rebounds, two steals and an assist.
Every healthy body on the Kansas bench got in the game, which didn't include junior guard Jeremy Case (groin) and junior center Sasha Kaun (knee).
saturday's game was never tied, nor were there any lead changes. Kansas' lead stretched as far as 40 points in the second half.
Shawn Shrown
Turnovers, defense key to blowout
The Jayhawks used defensive pressure against the Lumberjacks to force 11 first-half turnovers that helped turn Saturday's game into a rout. Kansas forced 10 second-half turnovers.
Bill Self came into Saturday night's season opener against Northern Arizona looking for his team to pick up the pressure on defense.
The turnovers led to 28 Kansas points.
They certainly did just that.
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Kansas already led by 15 points midway through the first half, after a quick start on offense. Then came the defense. In a three-minute span, the Jayhawks used the quick hands of guards Russell Robinson and Sherron Collins to spark an 13-4 run that blew open the game for good, and all it took was a simple poke at the ball.
"We started picking up on defense and getting easy baskets off of transitions," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "Our guards are doing a good job of stealing the ball and creating some easy baskets for us."
That stretch was highlighted by a Julian Wright dunk that almost wound up as a turnover. Collins got a steal and lobbed the ball down
court to Wright. But the sophomore forward seemed to get ahead of himself. He bobbled the ball, then stopped to collect himself and calmly went up for the dunk.
Easy baskets off turnovers were key in Saturday's victory, unlike in Kansas' final exhibition game against Emporia State.
Until the Jayhawks found their rhythm in the second half last week, they struggled to stop the Hornets on the perimeter.
But that wasn't a problem against the Lumberjacks.
Kansan senior sportswriter Ryan Schneider can be contacted at rschneider@kansan.com.
Rush and freshman Brady Morningstar helped hold Northern Arizona's top player, Stephen Sir, to just 3-for-7 shooting from the field and nine points. Sir led the nation last season in three-point goal percentage. While he did shoot 50 percent from behind the arc, Sir's made just three three-point shots.
That strong defense against Sir also forced him into two turnovers.
"That's just strong denial, strong help, not letting our man penetrate," Collins said. "Coach has been stressing that all week. I think we did a pretty good job of it."

break points to the Lumberjacks' six.
Adras said he liked his team's demeanor before the game, but noticed a change when the game started.
Jared Gah/KANSAN
Darrell Jackson. Chalmers had five points.
Junior guard Russell Robinson said Northern Arizona was better than the score reflected, but the Allen Fieldhouse atmosphere helped Kansas send Northern Arizona home with a loss.
"The new guys played scared when they got into the ball game and maybe the environment had something to do with it," Adras said. "That's intimidating as all get out. I don't know many people who are playing in front of 16,300 people the first game of the season."
The fast-paced game gave the Jayhawks plenty of highlights, including an alley-oop from freshman guard Brady Morningstar to freshman forward Darrell Arthur. Arthur had to reach high and behind his body with one hand in order to slam it home.
"Northern Arizona was a good team," Robinson said. "They were just a little bit nervous, and I think we just fed off that. We didn't let them get comfortable."
Darnell Jackson. Chalmers had five points.
"On a night like this, it makes a lot more highlights and Top 10s on ESPN." Rush said.
Self said the team probably had a little extra incentive to play well after the poor practice on Friday.
As well as Kansas played on Saturday, the Jayhawks had what Self called a "pitiful" practice
the team out of Friday's practice. "I think he's going to try to do it some more — try to kick us out and then make us come back on gameday"

from press row...
IT WAS OVER WHEN...
IT WAS OVER WHEN... Although Northern Arizona was never really in the game after the first three minutes, every time Kansas tried to pull away, the Lumberjacks would inch closer. That trend ended with 13:04 to go in the game. Brandon Rush sank his third straight shot of the game to put Kansas up 22-11. Northern Arizona would only get within nine points after that.
GAME BALL GOES TO...
GAME BALL GOES TO...
Julian Wright and Darnell Jackson get a share of the game ball. Although Rush played like an All-American should, Wright and Jackson provided an inside presence that Kansas didn't have in the
preseason. The du combined for 28 points, 16 rebounds and two blocks. They also played within themselves by taking smart shots and made 12-for-16, collectively.
STAT OF THE GAME...
Thanks in part to Wright and Jackson Kansas dominated the lane. While the Jayhawks outscored the Lumber-Jacks 44-16 in the paint, the real stat of the game is seven blocks to zero, in Kansas' favor. The Jayhawks played with the aggressiveness and tenacity inside that they lacked in the preseason, which is evident in the disparity in blocks.
— Shawn Shroyer
UP OR DOWN
The Jayhawks had five players in double figures and a sixth with nine points. Curt Kansas carry this point distribution throughout the season or as the competition toughens, will the number of contributing players go down?
Not every game will be easy as Saturdays blogword, but Kansas should still handle post speed numbers on the final playoff game. The Jayhawks are trained system should allow the team to swing well, produce points on a steady basis.
backcourt depth will allow Bill Self to mix and match lineups and organize everyone plenty of rest. With the help of a deep bench full of potent offensive weapons, Kansas could be primed to routinely receive double digit scoring contributions from at least four players in every game.
— Ashler Fusco
The Jayhawks will likely have a balanced attack throughout the season, but having six players with at least nine points will be rare. Theumberjacks were examined athletically and at Kansas begins to play to drive competition, things will not be as easy. It is good to see that there are several players capable of putting up points on any given night.
— Kayvon Saraf
Kansas has almost as much unselflessness as it has athleticism. Points may not come as easily against highly ranked teamy, but the Jayhawks won't have any problems spreading the ball around. Julian Wright may be the best passing post player in the country and Brandon Rush was criticized at times for being too unselfish last year. With stars willing to share the ball, the Jayhawks will have excellent balance on offense this year.
— Kyle Carter
The distribution of points shows that the team is well balanced: When the Jayhawks face a tough opponent, if one player's shot is off, the rest of this team should be able to make up for it.
— Jack Connors
Bill Sull's squad has enough talented scores to make this scenario possible, but it won't happen. Once the regular season gets into full swing, Sull will narrow his lineup and the proven scorers — Rush Chalmers and Wright — will each carry an increased load. In games that are as wide open as late, Jay night's contest we'll see productions from others, but it won't be regular occurrences.

Senior guard Shaquina Mosley looks for an open passing lane during Sunday night's match against the Iowa Hawkeyes in Kansas City, Mo. Despite a strong rally early in the second half, the Jahawks lost the game, 63-49.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As the women's basketball team struggled to keep up with the Iowa Hawkeyes throughout the first half of Sunday's game, it was apparent that the team was experiencing some serious fatigue.
BY ASHER FUSCO
If the Jayhawks seemed like they were sleepwalking at times on Sunday, it may have been because the team was tired after defeating a tough Seton Hall team just one day earlier.
Saturday victory against Seton Hall wears Kansas down
Kansas lost 63-49 to Iowa in the finals of the WBCA Classic after advancing past Seton Hall 64-50 on Saturday.
Kansas players and coaches did not point to their busy schedule as an excuse for their sluggish play on Sunday, instead they attributed the defeat to poor shot selection and failed defensive execution.
"Our players are better than
The size and athleticism of Iowa's front-court players presented matchup problems for Kansas from the start of the game. Hawkeye coach Lisa Bluder fielded a starting lineup that featured three players taller than 6 feet. Iowa's most dangerous weapon was imposing sophomore Megan Skouby, who scored 17 points.

IOWA
Kansas junior Taylor McIntosh and sophomore Maria Zinic picked up fouls early in the first half, forcing Henrickson to turn to junior Jamie Boyd and freshman Porscha Weddington in search of post defense.
"Our players are better than their field goal percentages. We just need to find better shots."
Boyd and Weddington supplied neither the defensive intensity nor
BONNIE HENRICKSON Women's basketball coach
offensive explosives that Henrickson needed, as the Jayhawks fell behind by 14 at halftime.
The foul trouble that Zinic and McIntosh experienced hurt Kansas on the offensive end.
Zinic was unstoppable when she was on the floor, scoring 16 points, but could not contribute from the spot on the bench that she took for a few inconvenient minutes in the first half.
Instead the onus fell on the Kansas
bench, which shot a combined 7-for-23 from the field. The Kansas players picked up fouls because the Hawkeyes executed on offense, easily getting the ball inside and drawing contact. Iowa took 23 free throws, while Kansas had only five attempts.
Henrickson recognized the challenges of playing on consecutive days with such a young team. "We had a limited amount of time to prepare and adjust to their defense," she said.
She added that it was a great opportunity to face major-conference schools: Seton Hall is from the Big East and Iowa is from the Big Ten.
"We competed with two very good teams," freshman Kelly Kohn said. "I'd rather experience this now than further down the road."

TOURNAMENT (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Danielle McCray, freshman forward, prepares to pass to Taylor Mcintosh, junior guard, during Sunday night's WBC championship match against the Iowa Hawkeys. Only the second game of her college career, McCray finished the game with seven points and three rebounds.
Kansas still kept it close until Iowa junior center Stacy Schlapkohl, the tournament MVP, scored four points in 45 seconds to secure the Iowa victory.
When Danielle McCray hit a jump shot with 14:29 remaining, the Hawkes lead was cut to four.
Overall, Bonnie Henrickson was pleased with the competition in the
minutes, Skouby had a game-high
17 overall.
That was the closest the Jayhawks would get. With junior forward Taylor McIntosh and Marija Zinic in foul trouble, Megan Skouby took advantage of the size mismatch and scored nine points in the final 13
tournament and how her young team responded.
"I have great respect in that we had pride and didn't let go," she said.

CROSS COUNTRY
Men qualify for NCAAs, women await at-large bid
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
A year older and a year stronger.
That's what cross country coach Stanley Redwine said about his team in the beginning of the season and the team has not let that statement down.
The men's team qualified for the 2006 NCAA Championships after placing second at the NCAA Midwest Regionals Saturday at the Les Bolstad Golf Course in Minneapolis.
The team finished third last season but returned its top five runners from that squad to this season.
Big 12 Champion Colby Wissel led the way for the Jayhawks placing eighth in the 10k race with a time of 30:59.49.
Junior Paul Hefferon finished 10th overall in a time of 31:02.29.
Seniors Benson Chesang and Erik Sloan finished 14th and 24th
respectively.
Chesapeake ran the race in 31:18.34 and Sloan finished in 31:33.64.
All four runners received allregion recognition for their top 25 finishes. Senior Matt French placed 32nd with a time of 31:56.59.
The squad, which is ranked 20th in the nation in the US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, finished second behind Oklahoma State.
The second place finish is the team's best result since the 1991 team finished second in the NCAA Midwest Regionals.
The team now moves on to compete in the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., on Nov. 20.
Last season the team placed 12th at the NCAA Championships. It was the team's best finish at the event since 1989 when it finished 10th.
The women's team finished 12th at the regional meet out of a field of 23.
Junior Lisa Morrisey and senior Melissa O'Rourke led the way for the Jayhawks placing 60th and 61st.
Morrisey finished the 6k race in 22:42.97 and O'Rourke ran her season best 6k race in 22:45.37. Freshman Kellie Schneider finished 74th with a time of 23:00.17 and junior Alicia McGregor finished 80th with a time of 23:06.52. Freshman Lauren Bonds rounded out the Jayhawks scoring in 84th place with a time of 23:12.57.
The women's team will have to wait to see if it earns an atlarge bid to compete in the NCAA Championships because it did not place high enough to earn an automatic bid.

Chiefs struggle to move ball, lose to Dolphins
>> NFL
BY STEVEN WINE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Nick Saban was about to begin discussing the Miami Dolphins' second consecutive victory when a technical malfunction delayed the start of his postgame news conference.
"We like them" he said. "I like being aggressive. I like putting pressure on defenses."
"This is not as bad as fumbling the reverse," a smiling Saban said. "I can handle this."
The bungled reverse nearly cost the Dolphins the game, but another bit of trickery _ a flea-flicker _ set up their lone touchdown. The net result was a 13-10 victory over Kansas City, which made it easier for Saban to defend his fondness for gadget plays.
Saban's critics still grouse about his decision to have running back Ronnie Brown attempt a pass on a foiled two-point conversation try late in a 17-15 loss at Houston last month. But that hasn't stopped
the dolphins (3-6) from digging into their bag of trick plays.
Brown tried another pass Sunday, this time from the Chiefs' 4 in the second quarter. The throw was incomplete, and Miami settled for a field goal.
Worse was the reverse. With Miami nursing a 13-3 lead midway through the final period, Brown missed connections with Chris Chambers on a handoff, and the fumble bounced on one hop to defensive end Jared Allen, who ran 20 yards to the 20.
"I just lost control of the ball"
Brown said. "I was trying to let Chris
make a play."
The game's lone turnovers led to a Kansas City touchdown four plays later, and Miami needed a defensive stand in the final two minutes to seal the victory.
More successful for the Dolphins was the flea-flicker, with Brown taking a handoff and pitching back to Joey Harrington. The exchange allowed Chambers to get 5 yards behind Ty Law, and Harrington hit him for a 46-yard completion to the 1.
"In the huddle we reminded all the linemen to yell 'draw', to get the defensive backs to peel back," Harrington said. "I did a little pump fake and gave it to Ronnie and heard everybody yell 'draw'"
The tactic worked. Saban said there were three receivers on the play.
"We actually threw it to the least open of the three," he said. "I'm not being critical, because he was very open as well."
Brown scored on the next play for a 13-0 lead.
Saban said the trick plays reflected his team's approach to the game. He didn't want the Dolphins playing cautiously leading by 10 points with eight minutes left, and that's why they tried the reverse.
"We were being aggressive when we called the flea-flicker, and actually ended up scoring a touchdown because of that," Saban said. "We were trying to be aggressive when we called the reverse, and we fumbled that and set up a score for them."

Oakland fumbles away winning opportunity
BY JOSH DUBOW ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND. Calif. — Jake Plummer capitalized on Denver's one big break to overcome an otherwise poor performance.
Plummer threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Johnson early in the fourth quarter after a fumble by the Broncos was negated by a penalty, giving Denver a 17-13 victory against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Plummer threw three interceptions and had done little positive other than throwing a 39-yard touchdown pass to Javon Walker late in the first quarter. But he led the key drive that helped the Broncos (7-2) win a fourth-straight game in Oakland and remained tied with San Diego atop the AFC West.
The Raiders (2-7) appeared in control when they recovered a fumbled punt by David Kircus at the Denver 20. But instead of adding to a 13-7 lead, Oakland was forced to punt again when Chris Carr was called for a personal foul for running out of bounds on the coverage.
After the second punt, Denver started its drive on its 40. Plumber completed seven straight passes and gave the Broncos a 14-13 lead on a fourth-down pass to Johnson with
11:06 to plav.
The Raiders went three-and-out on the next drive and backed Denver down to the 2 on a 55-yard punt by Shane Lechler. But when Oakland needed a stop most, Plummer was able to get three first downs and move the ball into Raiders territory.
Oakland took over at its 17 with 4:03 remaining, but Kenard Lang beat backup left tackle Chad Slaughter, sacked Andrew Walter and forced a fumble that John Engelberger recovered for the Broncos at the 12. That set up Jason Elam's 24-yard field goal with 1:56 to go.
Walter fumbled the snap to start the next drive — his second lost fumble in as many plays — sending Oakland to its 11th straight loss against AFC opponents.
The Broncos have won five straight in the division heading into next week's first-place showdown against San Diego.
Plummer finished 21-for-30 for 210 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. Tatum Bell had only 37 yards on 14 carries as Denver finished with just 66 yards on the ground.
Walter was 18-for-33 for 214 yards and the two fumbles and completed only one pass to Randy Moss. Oakland finished with just 46 yards rushing.

STUDENT HOUSING
Housing leaders discuss ideas at forum
Nine students attend national conference, bring back new skills
BY MATT ELDER
Nine students from on-campus housing governments traveled to South Dakota for the Midwest Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls Conference this past weekend.
MACURH is one of eight regions that make up the National Association of College and University Residence Halls, the largest non-profit and student-run organization in the United States.
The conference provided representatives of the University with leadership workshops and informational services to promote the educational goals of residence-hall students.
In addition to the University of Kansas delegates, MACURH included representatives from Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and the Canadian province of Manitoba.
"It's an opportunity for us to show off our best and brightest," said Eric Grospitch, interim executive assistant of the Department of Student Housing. "And it's also a great opportunity for our students to gain new ideas to educate the rest of our population."
Grospitch said that students who lived in University housing were in direct contact with the University's resident assistants most often, but that hall government officials were the students influencing housing policies. He said that AURH and hall governments were responsible for the smoking ban in residence halls, for example.
"If the students really have a beef with something, they can go to hall governments to help inform, educate and change policies," Grospitch said.
Stanley Mugeki. AURH advisor, said the conference's emphasis on discussion between universities was important communication for residence hall success. The conference was entirely student-run and was meant to give the participating universities the opportunity to discuss strategies for a more successful residence hall system. The KU representatives are largely responsible for many of the decisions that affect the Department of Student Housing's 4,700 students.
Edited by Nicole Kelley
Jasmine Walthall, AURH vicepresident of programming, attended the conference and said there were several programs the group was planning to bring back for KU housing residents. The group will meet tonight to discuss which projects and events it will be starting in the University's near future.

ADDICTED TO BOCK
BY DANNY LUPPINO
As soon as his friend brought a copy of Guitar Hero to their dorm room, Nick Jackson knew that it would be different from other video games.
"I first played it and I thought it would be hard because I've never played guitar before," Jackson, Lenexa junior, said. "But then I played and I was able to do it pretty easily."
Such is the effect of Guitar Hero, the popular Playstation 2 game that has turned hoards of KU students into budding rock stars.
The game became even more widespread last week with the release of its sequel, Guitar Hero II. Players use a guitar-shaped controller, a model of the Gibson SG guitar, complete with five, colored fret buttons and a strumming button to go note-for-note playing songs from various genres.
Kent Domas, San Antonio, Texas, senior owns both versions of Guitar Hero. He said he liked the game because it was simple enough to play that groups of people could sit around and enjoy it together. He also said the ability to make actual music on a video game was appealing to him.
"It kind of gives me that guitar complex," Domas said. "All the songs have been around since we were young and now you get a chance to play them without actually learning how to play the guitar."
Not everybody uses the game to pretend to be a musician, though. Bryan Runnels, Overland Park senior, said he was able to enjoy the game despite being the bass player of an actual band.
"I like the challenge it represents because
I can play all the songs on the bass, but playing them on the game is entirely different." Runnels said.
Though not the same as playing a musical instrument, the game closely resembles the action of playing the guitar. Players watch colored notes scroll down the screen and hold down the corresponding fret button while hitting the strumming button in rhythm. If this is done correctly, the guitar track of the song will play as it would on a normal recording.
Kevin Augspurger, manager of EB Games, said he thought the new game would see widespread popularity for three reasons: improved song selection, a new mode which allowed two players to play cooperatively on the lead and bass guitar tracks, and a practice mode for those who hadn't mastered the first game.
Game's sequel offers players larger repertoire of popular songs
"It makes it a lot more accessible to people just starting." Augsburger said.
Augspurger said the enthusiasm about the games release was uncommon high. A tournament held by EB Games in anticipation of the release attracted 50 competitors.

Film to depict Ugandan conflict
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Nathan Mack, KU for Uganda president, said the group chose to show the film to raise awareness on campus about the situation in Uganda.
KU for Uganda is sponsoring a showing of the documentary film "Uganda Rising" chronicling the 20-year civil war between Uganda's leader Yoweri Museveni and the Lord's Resistance Army.
"If people are talking about it, something can be done about it," Mack said.
He said the conflict in Uganda was closely connected to other bloody conflicts in Africa, such as the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.
The film will be shown at 7 tonight at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Admission is free

Woman faces jail time for half-done forgery
Signs of the season
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — A woman's attempt to pass a counterfeit $20 bill at a gas station was easily foiled when the clerk realized something odd: It was blank on one side.
Leah R. Jarolimek, 21, of Cedar Grove, was charged with a felony count of forgery after her failed attempt to buy chips and cigarettes, according to a complaint filed Friday in Sheboygan County Circuit Court.
Jarolimek handed her driver's license to the clerk early Wednesday to prove she was old enough to buy cigarettes and the bill, according to the complaint. The cashier told police the bill was placed face up on the counter but it felt suspicious when she picked it up.
Teresa Wells said she flipped over the bill and found it blank. Jarolimek replied she didn't know it was fake, the complaint said.
Wells said Jarollimek had to pay for the chips, which had been opened. When Jarollimek went to her car to get money, Wells copied Jarollimek's information from the driver's license.
Jarolimek faces up to three years in prison and a fine of $10,000 if convicted.
Store donates dresses for Veterans Day
WEXFORD, Pa. — One formal wear store experimented with the most literal of Veterans Day sales.
Pete Scolleri, who owns One Enchanted Evening in the Pittsburgh suburb of Pine Township with his wife, Linda, said they wanted to show support for the troops. They decided on giving away 120 new wedding gowns to women with military experience or those who are engaged to past or present servicemen.
Most giveaway gowns retained between $500 and $2,000, but one dress was listed for $5,850. One Enchanted Evening donated 100 dresses and several vendors donated 20 others.
"This is just fantastic," said Rosalind Ramos-Alvarez, who has been in the military for 21 years. She set aside two ivory gowns to try for size.
"It's just a matter of hey, these guys are over there, whether they want to or not, whether they believe in the cause or not. So how can we give something to them?" said Pete Scoleri.
Drivers blame deceased, avoid paying ticket fees
SYDNEY, Australia — Hundreds of Australian drivers have come up with a way to weasel out of tickets: Blame it on a dead guy.
More than 200 motorists have avoided parking and speeding fines by accusing either a dead man or an out-of-state resident for their errors, police said Saturday.
Under New South Wales state law, if car owners sign a sworn statement that they were not driving the vehicle when an offense was committed, they can avoid paying speed camera fines that arrive by mail and parking tickets left under windshield wipers.
A recent government audit of the excuses given in those sworn statements revealed that 238 motorists had blamed one of two people: a dead man and a person living in neighboring South Australia state, Police Superintendent Daryl Donnolly said in a statement.
Police say a 53-year-old businessman from South Australia has been unfairly flooded with traffic fines. He believes the scam started after he rented a sports car in Sydney.
three years, Donnolly said. He said car owners charged with swearing false statements face up to five years' imprisonment if convicted.
Some $61,000 of fines have been avoided this way in the past
Honesty not best policy for man who found money
NEENAH, Wis. — A sanitation worker who found $1,900 attached to a discarded desk at a city scrap heap says he deserves the money — but the city won't give it up.
"It's been very hard on me for being honest and then being told that because you're honest we're going to pat you on the back and take your money," David Voight said.
Voight, 52, found the cash in July, in envelopes attached by magnets to the underside of the metal desk at a junk drop-off site. Voight turned the money over to
police and waited for someone to claim it within 90 days.
Now that the 90 days are up and no one claimed the money, city officials have been wrangling over what to do with it.
City Attorney James Godlewski said the city owns the money if Voight found it within the scope of his duties, but if he was acting as a private citizen, it would belong to him.
Voight said he had permission to scavenge things from the scrap heap, and he was doing it on his own time when he found the money.
"It wasn't mine to begin with," Voight said. "But it kind of rubbed me the wrong way that all of a sudden the council said since it was found on city property you can't have it."

KU grad gets nomination
BY MARK VIERTHALER
Douglas County District 1 Judge Robert Pairchilid has been nominated for the Kansas Supreme Court.
The 1973 graduate of the University of Kansas School of Law is one of three judges nominated. The other two candidates are Kansas Court of Appeals Judges Lee Johnson and Tom Malone.
Nominations for the job were submitted on Thursday. The position will be open after the January 2007 retirement of Justice Donald Allegrucci.
After graduation from the University, Fairchild began working for a local law firm. In 1996 he was appointed to take the place of Judge Ralph King on the District
Court. Fairchild was promoted to chief judge in 2002.
Fairchild said Supreme Court Justices wore two hats when it came to Kansas law. He said justices reviewed cases that come before the court in an effort to interpret state laws and served as trendsetters for the Kansas legal system.
"We have an obligation to educate the public," Fairchild said. "We need to speak when asked to speak."
Haley Pollock, assistant press secretary for Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, said the commission recommended two or three appointees when a spot opened on the bench.
The commission is composed of nine members from the legal community, Pollock said. Five are elected by the Kansas Bat Association and
the other four commissioners are non-lawyers appointed by the governor.
Sebelius has about 60 days to appoint a judge to replace Allegrucci before he retires.
The commission forwards its recommendations to the governor, who then reviews each candidate and makes her final decision.
Pollock said the commission reviewed members of the Kansas legal community who had exhibited "integrity, character, ability and judicial temperament."

PROFILE
Lawrence native makes funny T-shirts his business
BY KYLE CARTER
Sitting with his wife in the White House for Christmas dinner in 1998, Larry Sinks knew hed done something right.
"Seeing the look on my wife's face was special," Sinks said while reflecting on the moment.
Sinks, owner of downtown T-shirt shop Joe-College.com, 734 Massachusetts St., rubs elbows with dozens of celebrities around the country largely because of his success in the T-shirt business.
Sinks started his first company, Midwest Graphics, shortly after graduating from Lawrence High School in 1981. He bought a press to make shirts for the World Series but decided to work with colleges instead. He started the company as a way to earn extra cash, not thinking that it would be a full-time job. But his business took off in 1988 when the KU men's basketball team won the national championship, providing an opportunity for Sinks to print
shirts commemorating the accomplishment.
Though the T-shirt business eventually led Sinks to the White House, it also landed him in the middle of a lawsuit with the University of Kansas. The store sells humorous T-shirts with sayings such as "Our football coach is phat." The University took issue with several of his shirts and sued claiming licensing violations. Sinks maintains the shirts in his store are not intended to represent the University, but said the recent publicity hadn't helped business
One year during a trip to the Super Bowl, Sinks met Hugh and Tony Rodham, Hillary Clinton's brothers. They hung out and became friends, which led to three Christmas dinners at the White House and a golfing trip with President Clinton. Sinks said he and the Rodham brothers kept in touch and usually met up a few times a year.
Sinks said his father showed him the value of hard work at a young
age.
"If I wasn't playing sports, from the time I was 11 years old, I had to have a job," he said. Sinks worked as a farmhand for his first job and later moved on to mowing lawns and pumping gas.
pumping up the manager of the Joe-College. com store, Erin Adams, said Sinks always had a new idea up his sleeve, whether it was a new shirt design or a business idea.
"He's got his hand in a lot of cookie jars," she said. "He has a lot of creative ways to make money."
With a presidential election not too far away, the Sinks may soon be making more trips to the White House.
"We're hoping Hillary runs and wins so we can go back," Carrie said.

Friends, family and supporters of Martin Luther King Jr. celebrate the groundbreaking of King's memorial on Monday at the National Mall in Washington. The memorial will occupy a four-acre plot on the banks of the Tidal Basin, near the Potomac River. The design is inspired by King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
Martin Luther King Jr. memorial scheduled to open in spring 2008
BY STEPHEN MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Martin Luther King Jr. belongs among American icons like Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, national leaders said Monday at the ceremonial groundbreaking for a King memorial.
King's memorial, he said, "will unite the men who declared the promise of America and defended the promise of America with the man who redeemed the promise of America."
"We give Martin Luther King his rightful place among the many Americans honored on the National Mall," President Bush told a crowd of about 5,000.
The King memorial, slated to open in the spring of 2008, will be the first monument for a civilian and black leader on the large park at Washington's core. It is also probably among the last monuments on the Mall following a 2003 vote in Congress to sharply limit development of the parkland.
The stage in front of the crowd was filled with King's fellow civil rights leaders such as Jesse Jackson, celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, politicians including Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, and three of King's children. The memorial will occupy a four-acre plot on the banks of the Tidal Basin, near the Potomac River. The Jefferson Memorial is across the Tidal Basin, while the Lincoln Memorial lies to the northwest, near the river.
The design is based in part on King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

KU researcher tests drug to combat alcohol abuse
BY GRETCHEN WIELAND
A dietary supplement could prevent alcoholism in people who have a genetic propensity toward alcohol abuse, according to preliminary findings by a KU researcher.
Ann Manzardo, research assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral science, said research showed a link between a deficiency in thiamine — a B complex vitamin — and alcoholism.
She is currently testing whether Benfotiamine, a dietary supplement that activates thiamine in the body and dramatically increases levels of the vitamin, could both help alcoholics kick their dependencies and lower the risk that people with thiamine deficiencies will become alcoholics.
"A thiamine deficiency has long been linked to alcoholism," Manzardo said. "We now believe that the deficiency may be predisposing people to alcoholism instead of being the result of alcoholic behavior."
Thiamine helps to break down sugars and turn them into energy. The heart and nervous system are especially prone to a deficiency, which occurs when proteins do not "turn on" the thiamine to run throughout the body. Thiamine also keeps nerves functioning normally.
Manzardo's theory, which appeared in the September issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, suggests that some babies inherit insensitivity to thiamine that inclines them to alcoholism later in life. This adds to proven data that alcoholism is a genetic disease.
Manzardo said that white matter, a fatty substance that protects cells in the nervous system, sometimes does not develop properly in the first few weeks of life when there is a thiamine deficiency.
"Individuals with white matter
damage may have impaired judgment when using alcohol and may be less able to stop themselves from drinking too much," Manzardo said.
Previous studies have found that children of alcoholic parents develop at a slower rate, and their motor skills are especially impaired. White matter damage in the brain that results from a thiamine deficiency is now believed to be the cause of those developmental issues.
Children who have white matter damage to the brain develop more slowly and are much more likely to become alcohol dependent by age 30 than those who develop at a normal rate.
"Sons and daughters of alcoholics are two to four times more likely to become alcoholics themselves," Manzardo said.
Wally Mechler, a Lawrence counselor licensed to treat alcohol addictions, said that significant medical research had linked alcoholism and genetics.
"Between 60 and 70 percent of my patients actively report that they have at least one parent who is an alcoholic." Mechler said.
Alcoholism is difficult to study because the gene connected with the disorder has not yet been found and gathering the data from birth to adulthood is an extensive process. However, if Manzardo's theories prove correct, isolating the gene may become easier.
Manzardo said she would like to interview preteens with an inherited thiamine deficiency before they began drinking and to interview them again 10 years later to find out how many had become alcoholics.
The dietary supplement Manzardo is currently testing may alter how genetic alcoholism is treated.
Benfotiamine was created in the 1960s to help the nervous system process alcohol and to abate the side effects of drinking. It has recently
been used to help diabetics, who have blood sugar problems that relate to the thiamine deficiency. A diabetic's body can break down sugars properly with the aid of Bofentiamine.
Manzardo said the drug activated the body's thiamine, increased the vitamin's levels and had been shown to improve brain function in alcoholics.
"We will see if the supplement has an effect on drinking and whether it will help alcoholics recover," Manzardo said.
The supplement has been successful in Europe at reducing the symptoms of nervous system conditions involved with alcoholism, and no adverse effects have been found after a decade of use. Manzardo said Benfotiamine could eventually be used to help those who had the thiamine deficiency before they abused alcohol.
"Ultimately, it makes sense to give it to pregnant women or babies," Manzardo said, "especially people who have a high risk for alcoholism."
However, Manzardo said she would not recommend this without extensive testing that proved there were no negative side effects.
Mechler said that there were many available medications now that helped combat alcohol cravings, but that he saw potential in Benftotamine. He also said an entire lifestyle change was the key to fighting alcoholism.
"If it was approved by the correct governing agencies, I would advocate anything that is safe to help." Mechler said. "I promote supplements, and it is also about a holistic lifestyle."

"It's a chance for us to get a lot of training and see our vehicle on the pad for the first time," Polansky said after landing at the Kennedy Space Center.

sion next March. Foam breaking free of the external tank has vexed NASA ever since a piece of foam struck the space shuttle Columbia's wing during liftoff in 2003, causing a gash that allowed fiery gases to penetrate the spacecraft. Seven astronauts were killed.
Meanwhile, NASA managers in New Orleans reviewed a possible design change to the shuttle's external fuel tank and could decide this week to modify the tank for a mis-
The space agency has spent three years trying to figure out how to keep foam loss to a minimum.
Also this week, NASA planned to test-fire solid rocket motors in Utah to see whether their illumination provides enough light to take photographs of the external tank at night. Discovery is set to be the first night launch in four years.

Kline's defeat due to combination of missteps
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kline waged a two-year legal battle to obtain patient records from two abortion clinics.

election cycle.
He wrote a "church" memo to his campaign staff that the Washington-based Interfaith Alliance described as the worst abuse of religion in American politics during the 2006
"He was plagued by missteps and misstatements and people who disliked him picking at him for four years."
None of those issues, by itself, was fatal to Kline's re-election, given his advantage as a Republican in a GOP-leaning state. But together, they drained away his political capital until the result was inevitable
Kline said his nephew deserved a second chance and has turned his life around, but there was an inconsistency between that message and Kline's persistently tough-on-crime rhetoric.

Morrison captured 58 percent of the vote to Kline's 42 percent, in a state where Republicans account for nearly 46 percent of all registered voters.
"We anticipated by time election day rolled around that (Kline) was going to lose by double digits," Republican State Chairman Tim Shallenburger said in an interview.

SUA puts increased fee to good use
The big event on campus last week wasn't a men's basketball at Allen Fieldhouse, but a big name concert at the Lied Center. The Ben Folds concert on Monday has capped what has already been a wonderful use of student fees.
In April 2005 Student Union Activities proposed a $5 student fee increase. The fee was to go toward bringing in major events to entertain students, and since that time they have not disappointed. Much like the ovation Folds received, the same applause should be directed to those at SUA for their commitment to entertaining students.
Monday's concert was just one in a smattering of high-profile events on campus, which had been missing for several years. Just last month SUA brought in comedian Kathy Griffin during homecoming week. Last year, Carlos Mencia entertained a packed Lied Center. Other speakers who have visited the
University recently include rapper Chuck D and Ken Carter, whose story was portrayed in the movie Coach Carter.
Needless to say, SUA has brought enthusiasm and excitement back to the University. People waiting in line for tickets to catch the Ben Folds concert and selling out entertainment events at the Lied Center illustrates the job SUA has done. They have come through on their promise.
With other departments looking at students for funding, the SUA asked for a little and has returned a lot back to the students. Those who want to consider hitting up students for increased fees should take notice of what SUA has accomplished. Giving back to the students doesn't hurt if you want our money.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Beyond our borders, there's a big,big world
Rich Smith discovered these laws while playing a game and decided come to America for a crime spree of absurdity.
America is riddled with silly laws. No one may fish in Chicago while wearing pajamas. It's illegal to kiss for more than five minutes in Iowa. Whiskey is strictly forbidden in New Jersey — for zoo animals.
From the money (why is a nickel bigger than a dime?) to the violence (police in England usually just carry a nightstick.) things are definitely different on the other side of the pond.
Smith's book You Can Get Arrested for That chronicles his road trip across America and seemed like it would be an amusing read when I grabbed it. Behind his commentary, Smith hints to how the rest of the world sees America.
After having a gun pointed at his face in Chicago (he ran a stop sign and thought the plainclothes officers were gang members) and hearing children talk about guns in an
airport, he decided to fire one at a range in Connecticut. While talking to the regulars about why the police only carry nightstrikes in England, he said "No one needs them (guns) because no one seems to have them. Over here, the guns are out and the only way to combat them is with more guns."
While gas prices were $3 for complaining Americans, Smith was getting a bargain. Gas costs at least $6 a gallon in England and through out Europe, and has for the past decade, according to an article in USA Today.
After reading about Smith's inability to get a beer in Ocean City, Md., because his license was not American and the Romanian waitress blamed it on the "stooped" Americans, I wondered how other countries really looked at America.
I stopped by the German department to talk to Julia Trumpold and Michael Gruenbaum, both teaching assistants. Julia, a former roommate of mine, is from a small town near
Frankfurt, Germany. She said she felt Americans were ignorant about the world, but claimed they live in the greatest country in world. Michael, technically an American but raised in Germany, agreed and went on to say that Americans have a moral superiority they use to police the world.
Julia and Michael might be on to something: A 16-country survey from the Pew Global Attitudes project released in June 2005 showed that the world views China more favorably than the United States. The same study showed most countries have a dislike for America's foreign policy and think America doesn't take other countries into consideration.
The study showed that the world views Americans as rude and greedy. Watching The Amazing Race on CBS, I can see why. Getting a cab to drive the pairs is hard enough when travelers don't speak the language, but the pressure of trying to win brings out a nasty side in players. Every season, someone yells at taxi drivers and calls them "stupid" because they don't speak English. On Sunday's episodes, teams cut in line at the taxi station and stole taxis from Finnish passengers.
Americans should realize that not everyone in the world speaks English. Only nine percent of Americans speak a second language. Fifty-three percent of Europeans speak at least one second language, according to the National Virtual Translation Center's Web site. The State Department estimates only 27 percent of Americans have passports. Are Americans so stuck in the "My country is the greatest country" mentality that they won't visit other places?
Ignorance of the world shows on American soil, too. I worked with several people from different parts of Africa and they each told me something shocking — Americans asked them if they lived in trees back home, and not just once, but many times. Admittedly, I have
wondered how many children live in squail like those in the Feed the Children ads, but I have never assumed that everyone in Africa lives like that.
I also never realized Germany has 16 states or that not all Germans wear lederbosen until I lived with Julia. But I also never assumed it was Oktoberfest every day, either.
My greatest desire is to travel the world and see everything it has to offer, but knowing that when I get there the locals might think of me as ignorant or rude saddens me. Obviously, not all Americans are rude and ignorant, but that's not how the world sees it. Flip on the news, open a book, do something to broaden your knowledge of the world.
And don't drink beer out of a bucket on a curb in St. Louis. You can get arrested for that.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Chicks who wear stilettos at bars need to realize that they can't step on people's feet.
First of all, because it means that instead of pursuing clean, progressive energy technologies such as wind power, Kansas will continue to focus on a dirty, polluting energy source from the time of the dinosaurs. Lame.
Thursday: Tabling on Wescoe Beach from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and an information session at 4:30 p.m. in the Walnut room of the Kansas Union.
The new plants will emit an additional 14 million tons of carbon dioxide per year and the mercury emitted is expected to be transported by prevailing winds to the eastern part of the state, affecting our health. Only eight percent of the energy generated will benefit Kansas, but the plants will be using our water from the Ogallala Aquifer.
Most importantly, though, attend the hearing on Thursday. If they are permitted to be built, these coal-fired power plants will dominate the Kansas energy scene for the rest of our lives.
From what I hear, K-State fans are going to storm our fieldhouse if they win. We must protect our

Capitalize on the surge of pride you felt when you voted and do something about this issue. And if you didn't vote, you now have another chance to make your voice heard.
The decision maker, the Kansas Department of Health and the Environment, is having one last hearing to receive comments about the issue. It is this Thursday at 6:00 p.m. in the Malott room of the Kansas Union.

IRAQ WAR
Panel exchanges ideas with Bush
BY TOM RAUM AND ANNE PLUMMER FLA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush traded ideas on Iraq with a bipartisan commission Monday and promised to work with the incoming Democratic majority toward "common objectives." At the same time, he renewed his opposition to any timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops.
WASHINGTON
As Bush met with the Iraq Study Group, the Democrat in line to lead the Senate Armed Services Committee, Carl Levin of Michigan, said the administration didn't see that "we're getting deeper and deeper into a hole."
Levin and other Democrats called for some troops to come home right away, suggesting that would pressure the Iraqi government into assuming more responsibility.
President Bush meets with a bipartisan commission to discuss strategies for the Iraq war on Monday at the White House. Even before the Iraq Study Group's work is finished, the panel's report is widely seen as an opportunity to give the campaign-weary Democratic and Republican parties a chance at consensus — or at least a framework for agreement.
Bush in turn had stern words for the Democrats, less than a week after they won control of both chambers of Congress in midterm elections in which the Iraq war figured prominently.
While Democrats agree that troops should leave Iraq sooner rather than later, they remain divided on the specifics. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., a contender to become the next majority leader, supports an
immediate withdrawal of all troops, whereas Levin and others favor a slower phased withdrawal and have been reluctant to suggest a firm timetable.
Baker's panel has been briefed on the Democrats' proposals and is considering a range of options. In addition to considering whether there should be any timetable to pull out troops, the panel is studying many other options, including whether to solicit Iran and Syria to help stop the fighting.
Whereas Murtha and some others contend violence in Iraq will continue so long as U.S. troops are present, Levin and others warn that any withdrawal of troops must be done slowly to avoid a collapse in security.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The president met for more than an hour with a 10-member panel headed by former Secretary of State James A. Baker III and former Democratic Rep. Lee Hamilton. He was joined by Vice President Dick Cheney, Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley.
The panel then stayed around for a longer session that included other members of the president's national security team, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and outgoing Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.

STOLLINGS, W.Va. - Four people taken hostage by a gunman at a pharmacy overpowered their captor Monday after he demanded prescription drugs and fired several shots, authorities said.
None of the hostages was harmed, but the suspect was taken to a hospital, Ferrell said. The nature of his injuries was not immediately clear, but a witness said he had taken a painkiller and an anti-anxiety drug.
The 90-minute standoff ended when the hostages, who were barricaded inside the store with the gunman, hit him with something, Sheriff's Deputy B.E. Ferrell said.

"I was just afraid he would hurt the rest of them that were in there," she said. Another worker in the store also escaped after a similar ruse.

Giuliani files papers to explore presidency
POLITICS
BY DEVLIN BARRETT ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, a moderate Republican best known for his stewardship of the city after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, has taken the first step in a 2008 presidential bid.
The paperwork, dated last Friday, is signed by Bobby Burchfield, a partner at the DC-based law firm of McDermott Will & Emery, a firm that handles political work.
The former mayor filed papers to create the Rudy Giuliani Presidential Exploratory Committee, Inc., establishing a New York-based panel that would allow him to raise money to explore a White House run and travel the country.
Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel declined to comment.
The four-page filing, obtained by The Associated Press, lists the purpose of the non-profit corporation "to conduct federal 'testing the waters' activity under the Federal Election Campaign Act for Rudy Giuliani."
One potential rival for the GOP nomination, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, said Sunday he was taking the initial step of setting up an exploratory committee.
Under federal election law, an exploratory committee allows an individual to travel and gauge the level of support for a candidacy without formally declaring themselves a candidate and adhering to all the federal rules of fundraising. An individual who spends money only to test the waters
- but not to campaign for office
- does not have to register as a candidate under the election law.
The GOP field is expected to grow with Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Sen. Bill Frist of Tennessee, Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and New York Gov. George Pataki expected to join the presidential fray.
Democratic Gov. Tom Vilsack of Iowa has filed to establish a full-blown campaign committee and will make a more formal announcement of his candidacy later this month.
Giuliani was widely praised for leading the city during and after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He has said for months that he would wait until the end of the 2006 elections to decide whether to embark on a White House bid.
The former mayor is a moderate who supports gun control,
same-sex civil unions, embryonic stem-cell research and abortion rights — stands that would put him at odds with the majority of the GOP conservative base.
Giuliani has tried to sidestep those differences and offered strong praise for President Bush at the 2004 GOP convention in New York.
"It doesn't matter what the media does to ridicule him or misinterpret him or defeat him. They ridiculated Winston Churchill. They belittled Ronald Reagan. But like President Bush, they were optimists. Leaders need to be optimists. Their vision is beyond the present, and it's set on a future of real peace and security," Giuliani said.
In 2006, the Giuliani brand remained strong. He headlined fundraisers for Republican candidates nationwide and his travel has done little to deny 2008 ambitions. During a visit earlier this month to Columbia, S.C., Giuliani dodged the question: "There's a chance, but that's after this election is over."
"Some call it stubbornness. I call it principled leadership."
He then left South Carolina for New Hampshire, site of the nation's first primary and another GOP fundraiser.
Giuliani enjoys strong name recognition and a recent AP-AOL News poll conducted in late October found that among Republicans Giuliani was essentially tied with Condoleezza Rice and McCain on who they would most like to see elected president in 2008.
Rice has insisted that she will not run.
Giuliani, who was in his final months as New York City mayor when a pair of planes crashed into the World Trade Center's towers, became a national hero. Within hours of the attack, the mayor was visiting the site, caked in dust and walking through the chaos — a moment replayed repeatedly on television.
Assuming the role of "America's Mayor" and Time Magazine's Person of the Year for 2001, Giuliani remained an in-demand speaker and GOP fundraiser. He was the first Republican to lead New York in decades, had cut crime and redeveloped rundown parts of the city.
He was a former U.S. attorney, leading campaigns against organized crime and corruption. He spent two years as the Justice Department's No. 3 post, overseeing all U.S. attorneys, the Drug Enforcement Agency and the U.S. Marshals Service. The Brooklyn native was first elected New York's mayor in 1993.

The 48-year-old pop singer and her husband, British filmmaker Guy Ritchie, were granted interim custody of David Banda by a High Court judge on Oct. 12.
father, Yohane Banda, has said the human rights group's lawsuit threatens his son's future.
Malawi regulations stipulate an 18-to-24-month assessment period be spent in Malawi, but the couple were allowed to take David
to their London home.
LILONGWE, Malawi — Malawi's High Court said it would rule next week on whether a coalition of human rights and child advocacy groups should help decide whether Madonna is fit to adopt a 13-month-old boy.
Madonna says she has met all the country's requirements for adopting the toddler, and David's.
Dzonzi has said his coalition wasn't trying to block the adoption, but wanted to be a party to the process to make sure Malawian laws were respected.
Justice Andrew Nyirenda said Monday he would rule Nov. 20 on whether to admit the 67-member coalition, which includes the state-run Malawi Human Rights Commission, as a party in the adoption proceedings. The coalition maintains the proceedings have been irregular.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Dave Weaver/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel, center, spent his week off reviewing the other teams in the Big 12. Missouri has lost three of its past four games but is still eligible for a bowl game.
Coach studies competition

Bye week affords teams opportunity to analyze Big 12 opponents
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
A week off gave Missouri coach Gary Pinkel a chance to pay closer attention to the rest of the Big 12.
That's not the only reason Brown will miss McCarney, calling him a "great friend and a better coach."
He was struck, again, by the unpredictable nature of the game. Kansas State's upset against then fourth-ranked Texas was just the latest example.
"I've been most amazed by his energy and the way he's taken a tough situation at Iowa State when he got there to a team that competes just about every year for the North championship," Brown said. "I sure hope he stays in coaching because the kids will miss him."
Those and other sendoffs have been a sign of "mutual respect" for
"In college football, nothing surprises me. Nothing," Pinkel said Monday on the Big 12 coaches teleconference. "You saw what happened all day — the number of blocked field goals across the country is staggering.
"All I know is I'm in a crazy business."
Unstable, too. Pinkel, completing his sixth season with the Tigers, is the senior coach in the Big 12 North now that Iowa State coach Dan McCarney is out after a dozen seasons. Missouri plays at Iowa State on Saturday.
"We exchanged e-mails," Pinkel said. "It's a difficult part of the business. He's a great coach and a great person and everything you want in football."
Texas' Mack Brown, in his ninth season, will become the overall dean after Saturday. Two days after the Longhorns' loss dropped them from the national title picture, he had a wry reaction: "No. 1, I feel old today. I think that's part of the deal."
McCarney. Now he wants to go out a winner against a team angling for bowl position.
They have lost their last seven games against Division I-A opponents by an average of 20 points.
"I don't know about any trap, we're going to do everything we can to win our last game for the seniors," McCarney said. "I could not have had a better experience. These 12 years have been magnificent."
For Kansas State and Oklahoma, the answer was yes on Saturday. Of course, the coaches of both those programs know they've got to do it again.
Missouri is one of eight bowel-eligible teams in the conference. The Tigers have lost three of four after a 6-0 start, and Pinkel said it was a good time for a break.

"I think the players are excited about the opportunity, and a lot of things are out there" Pinkel said. "Can we play our best?"
Kansas State is back in the bowl picture for the first time since 2003 in Prince's first season as head coach. He believes the Wildcats' loss to Louisville in week four prepared them for the Texas upset.
"I'm sure everyone who was watching us and the pundits will jump to a lot of conclusions but around here we're pretty focused."
"The result was not what we had hoped, but it came at the right time," Prince said. "Hey, they were. The No. 8 team in the country, but we can play with these guys."
"It gave us a chance to see where
"This is one of those games that has their full attention because of who the opponent is," coach Ron Prince said. "We're tried to make the case that November is like the playoffs.
This week Kansas State gets Kansas, which needs a victory to become the ninth Big 12 bowl-eligible school.
Oklahoma (8-2, 4-1) has a shot at representing the South in the Big i2 championship game against Nebraska (8-3, 5-2) on Dec. 2 in Kansas City. The Sooners need to win their last two games and Texas must lose at Texas A&M (8-3, 4-3) on Nov. 24, but coach Bob Stoops said that scenario has not been discussed with his players.
"I'd like to see us schedule for success," Morriss said. "I think it's important when you're trying to turn around a program."
Texas (9-2, 6-1) get a week off to recover from the Kansas State loss. Brown made it a point to congratulate Kansas State's game rather than bemoan the breaks of the game.
we were."
"They did a great job, played with a lot of enthusiasm and made the plays necessary to win," Brown said. "We want to make sure they get credit for doing a better job than we did."
"This conference, there's such great parity, and I think there's parity across college football," coach Bill Callahan said. "I think it's getting to a point that it's cyclical and there's evidence to back that up."

Baylor coach Guy Morriss, whose team has been routed in consecutive weeks, said hed consider playing more lightly-regarded schools in the early season. The Bears are one of three Big 12 teams who are not bowl-eligible.
"I'm talking to our team about beating Baylor this week," Stoops said. "They're smart guys, they don't need that as motivation.
"We're more than able to count, and in the end we've got to win this week."
Nebraska also is idle this week after what could be termed a breakthrough weekend for the North.
"We've got to learn from this one. We've got a lot of work to do before we play A&M."

Cardinals release 2007 schedule
ST. LOUIS — Even as the St. Louis Cardinals are sav�ing their World
Series win, they're looking ahead to next season and released their 2007 schedule on Monday.
The Cardinals will host the New York Mets on Sunday, April 1, in the Major League Baseball's season opening game.
The National League Championship rematch between St. Louis and New York will be spread across four days from April 1-4.
From May 18 to 20, the Cardinals head to Detroit to take on their World Series opponents.
The home portion of the Cardinals' schedule also includes three, three-game series against the rival Chicago Cubs. Those games will be played April 27-29, July 24-26 and Sept. 14-16.

San Francisco drops Olympic bid SAN FRANCISCO — Sar Francisco abandoned
its bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics after plans for a new bayfront stadium collapsed when the San Francisco 49ers said they intend to move to Silicon Valley.
Los Angeles and Chicago are now the remaining U.S.candidates to hold the games following Monday's announcement by the San Francisco 2016 Bid Committee.
John York, owner of the 49ers, told city officials last week he was breaking off negotiations for a new stadium at Candlestick Point and was considering a move to Santa Clara.
Scott Givens, managing director and chief executive officer of
the bid committee, said the 49ers decision created a "perceptual gap" that hurt the city's reputation in the eyes of the Olympic committee.
"The damage has been done and the damage can't be pulled back,"he said.
The city's Olympic organizing panel was stunned by the news last week and said it would try to find a new location for the marquee events, including the opening and closing ceremonies and track and field competition.
San Francisco Mayor Gavir Newsom said earlier the city would give up the bid if it "couldn't guarantee certain things."
San Francisco's loss can only help Los Angeles and Chicago, one of which will be the American candidate if the USOC decides in December to nominate a city. The candidates have to give a detailed presentation of their plan to the USOC by March 31.The USOC would choose its candidate in April.
Associated Press
The International Olympic Committee will select the host city in 2009.
Madrid, Spain; New Delhi; Prague, Czech Republic; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Rome; and Tokyo are among the national cities that also have expressed interest in landing the 2016 Games. The Summer Olympics will be in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012.

NEW YORK — Hanley Ramirez of the Florida Marlins won a tight race
for NL Rookie of the Year, and Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander took home the AL award Monday.
Ramirez beat out Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman by four points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America — the closest NL vote since the current format was adopted 26 years ago. The speedy shortstop got 14 of 30 first-place votes and finished with 105 points. Zimmerman received 10 first-place votes and totaled 101 points.
Verlander easily won the AL honor after his closest competitors in a race dominated by pitchers were sidelined late in the season because of injuries. The hard-throwing right-hander, who helped the surprising Tigers reach the World Series, was listed first on 26 of 28 ballots for a total of 133 points.
"I was pretty excited. I was actually outside washing the car. I totally forgot that today was the day it was announced." Verlander said. "It was pretty fun just to be a part of this rookie class."
The 22-year-old Ramirez, acquired from Boston last November in a deal for Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell, batted.292 with 17 homers, 59 RBIs, 119 runs and 51 stolen bases. Ramirez also hit 46 doubles and 11 triples.

Japanese infielder signs with Rockies
trying to resurrect his career in Colorado after floundering in New York, agreed Monday to a $1.5 million, one-year contract with the Rockies.
The speedy hit 21-year-old Japanese infielder hit .267 with 3 homers and 26 RBIs in 70 games for the Rockies and Mets combined last season. With the Rockies, he hit .345 with two homers and 19 RBIs and had a .392 on-base percentage in 32 games.
A seven-time All-Star in Japan, Matsui was the first Japanese infielder to sign with a major league team when he joined the Mets in 2003 for a $20.1 million, three-year contract.
He was acquired by the Rockies on June 9 and spent nearly three months at Triple-A Colorado Springs working on his game before returning to the majors on Aug.23.
In three major league seasons, Matsui owns a .266 batting average with 13 homers and 94 RBIs in 271 games.
Matsui can earn an additional $950,000 in performance bonuses.

K-State will hit the road after just one game at home
BY STEVE BRISENDINE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bob Huggins doesn't mind taking his teams on the road. He just wouldn't mind doing it a little later in the season.
Instead, Kansas State will have just one home game under its belt before traveling to Piscataway, N.J., for Wednesday night's game against Rutgers.
"You sign a contract, you honor a contract," the Wildcats first-year coach said Monday, during a conference call with reporters from his office in Manhattan. "I'd like to play this one probably a little later in the year, though."
Most Kansas State games will be televised this season. That's a perk of hiring Huggins, who took over in March after Jim Wooldridge was fired and brought along the buzz that comes with taking Cincinnati to 14 straight NCAA appearances and one Final Four in 16 years there.
Huggins' road strategy for
future seasons is geared toward keeping the Wildcats on TV and making sure he can get other teams to Manhattan, too.
"You've got to get on television," he said. "We're going to do what we need to do to get on television, but we're also not going to play anyone that's not a home-and-home situation."
The Rutgers game, scheduled in August, was the last one added to Kansas State's 2006-2007 schedule. It completes a home-and-home deal that began in 2004.
Huggins won't get into such agreements with just anyone, though.
"We're going to try to go to areas where we recruit," he said. "We're not going to go on the road just to go on the road."
This season, Kansas State starts home-and-home agreements with Cleveland State and California and a two-for-one deal with Xavier — two games in Cincinnati and one in Manhattan.
Besides Rutgers, the Wildcats will also complete home-and-home agreements with three other road games: New Mexico on Nov. 21, Colorado State on Dec. 2 and North Dakota State on Dec. 9.
Wednesday's game will be
Rutgers' season opener. Kansas State beat William & Mary 70-60 on Saturday in Huggins' debut, and on Monday, Huggins was still not thrilled by a 10-point victory against a mid-major program that won only eight games last year.
"We've got a long way to go to get where we want to go defensively, and we've got some work to do on rebounding the ball," he said. "We got good shots, our execution wasn't terrific, but we got good shots. We've just got to start making some."
The Wildcats are still learning,
Huggins' offensive scheme, though,
"Remember when you were back in kindergarten, first grade, when you were reading, 'Run, Sally, run?' he said. "That's about where we are."
Huggins also said he wants senior swingman Cartier Martin, who played only 12 minutes and scored five points against William & Mary because of early foul trouble, to shrug off his 2-for-9 shooting performance on Saturday.
"I just told him after the game that he needs to keep shooting." Huggins said. "He's unquestionably our best shooter. He just needs to keep shooting the ball until it starts going in."

Injuries plague Chiefs key players
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Injuries to Pro Bowlers and key starters continued to mount for Kansas City on Monday when tight end Tony Gonzalez, having perhaps his finest season, was declared out this week and possibly longer.
Coach Herm Edwards said the seven-time Pro Bowler sustained a sprained left shoulder in the closing minutes of Sunday's 13-10 loss at Miami. More will be known with test results today, but he will definitely miss Sunday's game against Oakland, Edwards said.
28
Also out for at least one more week for the Chiefs (5-4) are Pro Bowl left guard Brian Waters and starting right tackle Kevin Sampson. Still questionable are two defensive starters who were unable to play at Miami, linebacker Derrick Johnson and safety Greg Wesley.
Quarterback Trent Green, in the meantime, could be cleared to begin full-time practice this week for the first time since he sustained a severe concussion in the season opener on Sept. 10.
Charlie Riedel/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez will be out for at least the rest of the week after suffering a shoulder injury in Sunday's game. Gonzalez, a seven-time Pro Bowler who is having one of his best seasons, is one of many key Chiefs players who has been injured this season.
"They're going to get the tests tomorrow. They'll read his evaluation tomorrow and they'll let him know if they'll hurt him start participating in team stuff." Edwards said.
If Green does get cleared to play, it will force a decision about whether he or Damon Huard will start.
But no matter who the quarterback might be, the Chiefs would be terribly weakened if they have to go any length of time without Gonzalez.
He will probably be replaced by backup Jason Dunn, an accomplished blocker whose receiving skills hardly compare.
Gonzalez had averaged more than 100 yards receiving and almost 17 yards per catch in the three previous games, victories over San Diego, Seattle and St. Louis that kept the Chiefs in the playoff hunt.
The 6-5, 250-pounder caught six balls for 84 yards at Miami and was

keying a second-half rally when he was injured while fighting through a double-team making sure Huard's pass was not intercepted.
"He's getting more tests today and we'll find out tomorrow or the next day the extent of how long he'll be out. This weekend he's definitely out." Edwards said.
"It is a shame, a guy like that, he's having a terrific year for you and has been a staple in the last month and really getting involved in the offense. We're going to have to find another way now. He's going to be missed this week, obviously. But we just got to find a way to get the ball, when we decide to pass, to other players."
If Green gets the go-ahead this week, might he start on Sunday in place of Huard, who has gone 5-3 in his absence and played quite well in holding the offense together?
"We'll see where he's at," Edwards said. "I can't answer that until I know the extent of what he's going
to participate in and how he's feeling in practice. He hasn't done anything live yet, so we'll just kind of see."
At this point, it's not possible to know how effective Green, a two-time Pro Bowler, might be after such a long layoff.
"You can't answer it. You can answer it in practice as to how he looks in practice," Edwards said. "But until he actually goes in a game, no one's going to know."

"Whenever (Green) has a chance to play again, you anticipate for him to play well. But he's going to be little rusty. You know that."
Huard had perhaps his worst game at Miami, but understandably so. The makeshift offensive line with Chris Bober starting for Waters and Kyle Turley in for Sampson, was dominated. He was sacked three times and hit the ground on at least four other plays while connecting on 15 of 38 passes for 201 vards.
The Chiefs did not make a first down until late in the second quarter.

More than the injured players, the bigger concern for Mangino might be whether his Jayhawks can regain the momentum they seemed to find in their last two victories against Colorado and Iowa State. After losing four games in a row by 10 or fewer points, Kansas' season seemed lost. Yet after two victories against the Big 12's worst teams, the Jayhawks are back on the hunt for a bowl game, and possibly a winning season.
"It's good to know our kids never lost their focus," Mangino said. "They stayed the steady course and kept getting after it, kept sawing wood. Victories are starting to come

This Saturday the Jayhawks will need to play their best football of the season, considering Kansas State is the hottest team in the conference. The Wildcats have won three games in a row, including Saturday's victory against No. 4 Texas. With the victory, K-State is receiving votes in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll.
Michael Phillips
Coming into Lawrence Saturday, the concern for the Wildcats might be finding a way to avoid a letdown after such an emotional victory. But if K-State coach Ron Prince's Saturday night celebration of the second-biggest upset in school history is any indication, there shouldn't be any letdown. No, he didn't join in the celebration in Aggieville or even spend time enjoying the moment. Instead, Prince said he spent Saturday night making plans to prepare his team for this Saturday's showdown.
"I think that this is one of those games that has our players' full attention because of who the opponent is," Prince said.

Regardless, both agree on the score with Kansas winning 21-7 at the opening of the new stadium. Kansas ended the 1921 season by defeating Missouri in front of 15,480 at Memorial Stadium. When the stadium officially opened; it had a capacity of 22,000. According to the Kansas Athletics Department, the current capacity is 50,250.
While individual statistics were not kept back then, Kansas State had better team statistics than Kansas. K-State had one more first down, 13, than Kansas and also had more yards from scrimmage, 116-111. But two interceptions lifted Kansas to the victory.
The Kansan said several "aggle rooters" made the trip to Lawrence via train to watch the contest. The train brought 1,500 K-State fans to the new stadium.
RIVALRY (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
It is also unclear what K-State's mascot was in 1921. According to the Kansas State media guide, K-State was known as the Aggies for their first 19 seasons (1896 to 1915), until they switched to the Wildcats (1915 to 1917) nickname. They were the "Farmers" (1917 to 1920) for a brief period, but have settled for "Wildcats" since the 1921 season.
While the Wildcat media guide has them as the "Wildcats" in 1921, the Kansan referred to them, for the most part, as the Aggies that
sunflower showdown
The Kansas vs. Kansas State football rivalry started 104 years ago in 1902. In this game, Kansas shut out Kansas State 16-0 to win the first game of the historic rivalry. Since that game, the two teams have met 102 times. The Jayhawks lead the all-time series against the Wildcats, 62-36-5. In four days, the Kansas and Kansas State rivalry will unfold again in Memorial Stadium. While the Jayhawks lead the all-time series substantially, the Wildcats have been the dominant team the past decade. In 2004, Kansas defeated Kansas State, 31-28, to snap an eleven-
year losing streak. With a victory last season in Manhattan, Kansas State will look to start a new streak Saturday.
There is a lot riding on this year's game. Kansas will try to do something it has never done in its football history; make back-to-back bowl games.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO
In last Saturday's game against Northern Arizona, Kansas showed that it had the up-tempo playing style to win conference games. However, the team has a long way to go and a few injured players to return before it will hit its stride.
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Fast-paced plays hold key for future team victories
Kansas fans caught a glimpse during the weekend of just how much running the Jayhawks could do this season, but they are far from hitting their stride.
Kansas' regular starting shooting guard, sophomore Mario Chalmers, saw limited action against Northern Arizona because of a sprained toe. Junior guard Jeremy Case hasn't been in uniform yet this season because of a pulled groin.
And with starting center junior Sasha Kaun out for a few more weeks with a bum knee, dual-threat forwards like sophomore Julian Wright and freshman Darrell Arthur have been confined to playing predominantly in the post.
Coach Bill Self said the pace of Saturday's game was faster than Kansas had played in recent years, but he could envision it playing even more up-tempo.
"With Mario's toe and not a lot of depth right now, we don't have enough bodies to where we can
go out full court, helter-skelter-type pace," Self said. "I think that we can play much faster offensively."
Nevertheless, Kansas displayed a lethal ability to outrun opponents on Saturday, doubling Northern Arizona's fast break points, 13-6.
Most of those fast breaks stemmed from turnovers caused by Kansas' speedy frontcourt. The Lumberjacks committed 21 total turnovers and 14 came from their frontcourt players.
"We like to wear teams down, so it makes our defense better," Robinson said. "When you go out and get easy buckets it helps the morale of the team, and everyone just starts to feed off of that and bring energy to the game."
In addition to easy baskets, Kansas' fast play helped open up its outside game. Northern Arizona's frontcourt was forced to play off of Kansas' guards to prevent them
Kansas, led by junior guard Russell, Robinson and Chalmers who had three steals each, translated those 21 turnovers into 28 points.
from driving the lane. Kansas starters responded by sinking six of nine three-point attempts.
Kansas' performance Saturday also bodes well for the future, both near and distant. Some of the non-conference teams Kansas will play will be undersized and dependant on playing up-tempo-style games and Kansas has shown it would be able to keep up.
Once Chalmers and Case get back to 100 percent, Self will be able to run his team even more and rotate players out when they get tired. And when Kaun's knee heals, players like Wright and Arthur will be able to join players like sophomore guard Brandon Rush on the perimeter to create mismatches.
"Everybody on the team can run up and down the court," Rush said. "We can go all day."

Such are the revelations contained in a newly unearthed trove of personal documents, photographs and mementos from basketball's founder, James Naismith.
The items, including handwritten diaries and typed notes, were discovered last spring, when Naismith's granddaughter, Hellen Carpenter, went down to her basement to find an old family photograph.
CLAYTON, Mo. — It's settled. Basketball really did evolve from a childhood game called "Duck on a Rock."

Artifacts chronicle beginning of sport
Instead, Carpenter found journals, keepsakes and typewritten rule sheets that open a new window on the birth of one of the world's most popular sports.
Carpenter is auctioning off the documents in December. She said they settle details about her grandfather's invention, such as the "Eureka" moment when he remembered rules from Duck on a Rock, a Canadian game he played as a child, and applied them to his new game.
The items include the first rules of basketball; photos of the first basketball team and basketball court,
Documents autographed by Naismith only surface two or three times a year, he said. Carpenter's boxes were an especially rare find, he said.
Naismith carefully recorded basketball's birth in 1891.
"My mother told me for years that there was nothing of real value there," said Carpenter, 74.
Chris Ivy disagreed. As director of sports auctions for Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas, he was stunned when Carpenter called him and described the documents casually stored in her home in the St. Louis suburb of Chesterfield.
The five boxes of documents, photos and items were handed down to Carpenter from her mother Hellen Naismith Dodd, Carpenter said. She kept them around for decades without looking through them.
"It almost crosses into history — it's not just sports collectibles," he said.

Naismith was nervous the students wouldn't like his newest invention — Basket Ball, as he called it.
Before the first basketball game was played, Naismith prepared the gym by nailing two baskets to balconies on either end of a court and posting 13 rules of the game on a bulletin board.
"I felt this was a crucial moment in my life as it meant success or failure of my attempt to hold the interest of the class and devise a new game" he wrote.
Naismith also noted in his journal that it took a lot of reminding to keep students from tackling a player when he got possession of the ball.
Naismith knew before his death in 1939 that he had created a lasting game when basketball became an Olympic sport.

A look back at K-State series
Jayhawks defeat Aggies in new Kansas Stadium
BY DREW DAVISON
Editor's note: This week, The University Daily Kansan looks back at four classic games between Kansas and Kansas State.
Oct. 29,1921 Kansas 21, Kansas State 7 1921 Kansan headline — "Jayhawkers Swamp Aggies in Great Game"
The Jayhawks could not have asked for a better debut at Memorial Stadium than when they beat the Kansas State Agricultural College Aggies by two touchdowns. 21-7.
It was the first game at Memorial Stadium, which officially opened as "Kansas Stadium."
At the time, according to The Kansan, the stadium's north side was not finished and makeshift bleachers were brought in for the 9,000 fans in attendance: the largest crowd at an Aggie/jayhawk game to that point. There is some discrepancy, though. The Kansas Athletics Department reports 5,160 fans attended.

Jayhawks return to work after rest
Week off prepares team for K-State showdown
There's nothing like a well-timed vacation.
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
At least that's what football coach Mark Mangino is thinking heading into this week's Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State.
Who's the best?
"I think the timing of the break was perfect," Mangino said during Monday's Big 12 Football Coaches Teleconference.
"Wed gone 10 weeks in a row. I think the rest did us good, the fundamental work did us good. I think it was right on time, to tell you the truth."
The Jayhawks' week off was also a chance for some injured players to rest. Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier was still recovering from a right-shoulder injury during last week's victory against Iowa State. Senior running back Jon Cornish also battled through minor injuries for most of the season.
"No healthier than they've been recently," Mangino said with a laugh.
And just how healthy are these injured players?

When The New York Times sent a travel writer to Kansas in 2005, there probably wasn't much discussion on which college town to visit. Lawrence is regarded as a speck of blue in a sea of red, referring to its tendency to vote for Democrats. Massachusetts Street is where you'll find bars, restaurants and shops of every variety. In Manhattan, you'll head to Aggieville, home of beer, fast food and a gas station. While the gas station gets points for its clever signs, I just can't bring myself to vote for a place where the largest bar is named "Rusty's." Advantage: Jayhawks

Harvard crimson and Yale blue, a nod to two Ivy League schools, are found in the Kansas logo. "Jayhawk" is a term that referred to those who fought to abolish slavery in Kansas during the time of the Civil War. Meanwhile, Kansas State is represented by the color purple. The mascot is Willie the Wildcat, but former football coach Bill Snyder instead asked an art professor to create a more "aggressive" logo to represent the program, and the Powercat was born. Willie's costume consists only of a head, presumably because it was half-price at the mascot store. Advantage: Jayhawks
Kansas running back Gale Sayers was ranked 21st on the Sporting News list of the 100 greatest football players ever. Kansas State kicker Martin Gramatica celebrated every field goal he made until his brother, Bill, tore his ACL celebrating an unimportant kick with the Arizona Cardinals. Kansas State is helped by NFL backup Michael Bishop. Subtract points for the Terry Allen years at Kansas and it's just about even. Luckily, Sayers' greatness makes up for both those things.

CITY COMMISSION
Report advises merger
Changes helpful for developers
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Lawrence took a step forward Tuesday night in making the development-approval process easier for local businesses.
The City Commission received a report from Alan Pennington of Matrix Consultants, in which the firm recommended a number of ways the city could improve its development approval processes.
Among the proposed recommendations, Mayor Mike Amyx urged City Manager Dave Corliss to begin looking for office space to house a one-stop shop, called the Department of Community Development, that would combine the services of both the Planning Commission and the Neighborhood Resources Commission. Amyx also urged Corliss to begin searching for a department head to manage the entire development review process at the merged department.
Commissioner David Schauner said there was a "sense of urgency" to improve the approval process and if the city could have started yesterday, it would have.
Corliss said he had already been exploring options for the person to lead the Department of Community Development and hiring that person and finding the space for the new department were his "top priorities."

In all, Matrix Consultants recommended nearly $1 million in suggested improvements to help ease the development-approval process. That includes: the implementation of a new software package for the development review process that would be used by all city departments at an estimated cost of $250,000 to $700,000; the addition of two more plans examiner positions at a cost of $108,000; the addition of two more current planners at a cost of $110,000; an estimated cost of $25,000 to merge the departments of Planning and Neighborhood Resources; and an upgrade of two planner positions to senior plan-
A process steering committee composed of members of the city commission, planning commission, neighborhood resources, utilities, fire/medical and public works assisted in the report by providing their expertise and participating in surveys to complete the report.

MEN'S HEALTH
HEY BALDY!
Many men experience early baldness; some suffer from it,some embrace it
BY DREW DAVISON
Chris Towell recalls looking into the mirror his sophomore year in high school and seeing a strange glare coming off his head. He took a second, closer look, wondering what was shining so brightly. That was the moment he realized he was starting to go bald.
"My grandpa is bald, my dad is bald, so I knew it was coming," Towell, Overland Park freshman, said. But it was hard to start losing his hair when most guys were just starting to shave.
Towell is one of many college-aged males who is losing his hair to male-pattern baldness when looks matter most. These guys are bound for the horseshoe, or culde-sac look. That means no hair on the top, but some on the sides and back of their heads. Rather than fighting nature with comb-overs, Rogaine or toupees, stylists, doctors and women have one suggestion for these men: Embrace it.
Towell was originally in denial about his baldness, claiming he had a "widow's peak." His friends were always quick to remind him that he was bald.
"Oh well, it's just like having a small penis — I'm used to it," Towell quipped. "I've always had it."
"I look older, more sexy," he said. "I could buy alcohol in high school without getting carded."
rowen found some advantages to having his hairline recede early in life.
Ashley Leylink and Teal Mareska, stylists at Salon Hawk in the Kansas Union, don't recommend the combover.
Before accepting his fate, he tried a "fat" comb-over to cover the bald spot.
The best advantage for Towell?
"Girls like to lick my bald spot."
They said men with male pattern baldness should learn to love the dome
"I like to touch it because it's smooth." Leylink said. "I like it because it's soft." Mareska added
They mentioned Hollywood hunks Vin Diesel, Bruce Willis, Kevin Kline and George Clooney as attractive men with receding hairlines.
While Towell has accepted it, other balding KU males struggle more with their hair-loss gene.

ELECTION
Student turnout at polls lower than predicted
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Despite a steady push on campus for students to visit the polls, official election results showed that turnout in many student-dominated precincts was often a fraction of the average for Douglas County.
Keith Campbell, Douglas County deputy of elections, said the push to get out the vote by various parties especially Democrats — gave the county a solid overall turnout despite the unexpectedly low numbers from student areas of Lawrence.
In precincts near Iowa and Massachusetts streets and between 9th and 23rd streets, turnout dropped as low as 17.4 percent. Douglas County experienced a 44 percent turnout and Kansas' overall was at 51 percent.
Bridget Franklin and the Delta Force political coalition spent weeks registering voters in front of Wescoe Hall. Franklin, Topeka senior, said she kept hearing the same thing from KU students eager to vote anger about Republican politicians tied to lobbying scandals and the Iraq war and disgust toward Attorney General Phill Kline.
Campbell had hoped at least 50 percent of registered voters would hit the polls Nov. 7. But despite the nice weather, many voters stayed home. Those who did vote often asked Campbell's office if they could vote in the second district race for the U.S. House of Representatives that pitted Democrat Nancy Boyda against Rep. Jim Ryun, a five-term
incumbent Republican.
"People called and were mad that they couldn't vote in that race," Campbell said. The second district covers western Lawrence to Iowa street.
Despite the work of Franklin and other voter registration drives at the University, turnout in student-dominated areas in Lawrence continued to be poor, Campbell said.
Democrats seemed particularly motivated this year, as Boyda upset Ryun and Johnson County district attorney Paul Morrison scored a landslide victory against Kline. Morrison trounced Kline by an almost 3-to-1 margin in Douglas County, while Gov. Kathleen Sebelius beat challenger Jim Barnett by the same margin in the county.
Ryun had defeated Boyda by less than 300 votes in 2004 in Douglas County. But this time around, Boyda claimed more than 9,000 votes in Douglas County, while Ryun had nearly 6,000, barely half of the votes he had in 2004.
"Republicans' most strategic failure was focusing on immigration," Langston said. "That issue lost a lot of traction toward the end of the
Marc Langston, president of the KU Young Democrats, said Boyda and Morrison were the top vote-getters in their campus group. In 2004, the young Democrats didn't think their votes would influence much — but the stakes seemed much higher in 2006, Langton said.

BASKETBALL Giles to be arraigned for alleged battery
Former KU basketball player CJ Giles will be arraigned on charges of misdemeanor battery in Lawrence Municipal Court on Dec. 6, according to court records.
Giles was cited by KU Public Safety officers Nov. 6 after allegedly dragging a woman from his Jayhawker Towers apartment and striking her with his fist.
Giles' girlfriend had called and said she was coming over, and Giles became angry when the alleged victim asked him why she had to leave.
Giles then allegedly dragged her by her ankles from his room and hit her. Coach Bill Self permanently removed Giles from the team Nov. 7, only four days after reinstating him to the team.
Previously Giles had been suspended for personal problems, including owing more than $4,000 in child support payments.

Researcher awarded for work Faculty member recognized for blood glucose sensor
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
George Wilson, associate vice provost for research, will receive
MARCELA MORGAN
Wilson
The Reilley Award is from the Society of Electroanalytical Chemistry and Bioanalytical Systems.
The sensor, which is twice the diameter of a human hair, is injected under the skin where it sends readings to a remote. The remote sets off an alarm to let a diabetic know if his or her blood levels are about to peak or slump to danger-
the Reilley award for his research in electrical chemistry, particularly for his role in developing a sensor to continuously monitor blood glucose levels of diabetics.
ous levels.
Wilson said the sensor would be particularly helpful for type I diabetics, whose blood sugar can fall well below normal levels, often causing them to lose consciousness. About 10 percent of diabetics have type I diabetes — when the pancreas stops producing insulin.
He said people with diabetes had to test their blood sugar levels six to eight times each day, which averages about every two hours.
Wilson said there were three major problems with doing this everyday.
First of all, it's boring.
Wilson said that diabetic testing strips used to monitor blood sugar could cost up to $5 every day.
And finally, it's painful.
Second, it's expensive.
"The end of your fingers contain a lot of nerve endings," he said. "You don't get used to this no matter how long you do it."
He said the goal of the sensor was "to have a continuous monitoring system that's out of sight, out of mind"
Craig Lunte, professor of chemistry, said the award was a well deserved honor for Wilson.
"He's done ground breaking research on sensors, particularly glucose sensors, over the past 30 years," Lunte said.
The glucose sensor was developed by a team of two analytical chemists, one of which was Wilson, an MD and a bioengineer.
He said the research was finished around 2000 and they're looking for someone to fund manufacturing the product.
Wilson said his main concern was that his device help patients live better quality lives.
"If it doesn't approve the quality of life of the patient, then it won't be accepted."

Board likely to oust commissioner
EDUCATION
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Education Commissioner Bob Corkins is likely to lose his job after new state school board members take office next year, but his opponents aren't sure about the timing of his dismissal.

Corkins' hiring in October 2005.
The Board of Education's 6-4 conservative Republican majority will end Jan. 8. That's when moderate Republicans Sally Cauble, of Liberal, and Jana Shaver, of Independence, take their seats along side two other GOP moderates and two Democrats who opposed
Board member Ken Willard, a Hutchinson Republican who supported Corkins' hiring, said Corkins' departure will be caused by politics.
"They didn't give him a chance before he even put his feet on the ground, so I wouldn't expect them to give him a chance now." Willard said.
Some legislators, many educators and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius criticized Corkins' appointment because he was Kansas' first top school administrator in more than 80 years not to have served as a local superintendent first.
There's little doubt the four veteran board members who opposed hiring Corkins will move to oust him.
As commissioner, he spearheaded a reorganization of the department, creating a new School Innovation Division. He supported increasing the number of charter schools, which are freed from some

Cancer researchers at the University of Kansas will soon work with international researchers to detect breast, colon and lung cancer earlier.
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Onlmmune, a life sciences company based in Europe, plans to establish its U.S. headquarters in Lenexa.
Weir said the University was trying to become a National Cancer Institute designated cancer center. OncImmune intends to help with that effort.
Scott Wein, director of the office of therapeutics, discovery and development at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said OncLmmune expected to commercialize techol-
ogy developed by John Robertson, its chief science officer, for early detection of breast cancer.
None of the 61 NCI-designated cancer centers in the U.S. are in Kansas, according to the institute's Web site.
Oncimmune's North American headquarters will be based in Lenexa so it can share laboratory space with BT, a reference laboratory in Lenexa.

He said the company planned to begin work in Kansas in the latter half of 2007, but he was unsure of its exact arrival date.
Lynn Bretz, director of university communications, said that in initial testing, OnlImmune's breast cancer technology detected breast cancer up to four years earlier than a mammogram.
"They're going to be looking at ways to take that technology to the marketplace and look at ways to apply the research principles to other types of cancer," Bretz said.
The company will invest about $30 million into area lab operations, according to a University press release.

Local band, Wobbly H, is joining forces with The Granada to make a difference in the Lawrence community.
"The local music scene contributes a lot of personality to the community," said Logan. "Donating to Jubilee is a great way to use that personality to do something beneficial."
Mike Logan, owner of The Granada, has agreed to donate $1 to Jubilee Café for every person over 21 who attends Wobbly H's show this Thursday.
The members of Wobbly H are thrilled to be playing for charity.

Jake Hiersteiner, Wobbly H guitarist said, "I think it's awesome. We can do something we enjoy and help the community."
"Wobbly H has a ridiculous amount of fun on stage," said Logan. "If you like having a good time, you'll love Wobbly H."
Logan thinks Wobbly H's style will help make the event a success.
The Granada is the only venue in Lawrence to donate show proceeds to charity.
Hiersteiner said, "I hope this will encourage other Lawrence businesses to help the community."
Wobbly H takes Granada's stage at 10p.m. this Thursday. The Granada is located at 1020 Massachusetts.

Online classes stay steady despite demand
8Y KIM LYNCH
A recent study found enrollment in U.S. college online courses grew by almost 1 million students last year, but KU enrollment in online courses remained steady. Exact figures were not available at the time of publication.
Online students, who grew from 2.3 million in Fall 2004 to almost 3.2 million students in Fall 2005, make up nearly 17 percent of all higher education students, according to a study released this month by The Sloan Consortium. More than half of those students take online classes through two-year associate institutions.
The study defines online classes as courses where at least 80 percent of the material is delivered online.
Jean Redeker, assistant dean of continuing education, said independent study courses offered through Continuing Education and semester-based courses were the two types of long-distance education offered by the University.
"There certainly is a demand for more online learning from the population, but online learning is expensive and time-consuming," she said.
Time is an issue because the instructor must be available to answer e-mails and questions. It is a lot of work to teach and develop courses in an online environment, Redeker said.
"Most courses on campus are faceto-face courses that are supplemented by Blackboard or online components," she said.
In order to be considered an online class, the Board of Regents rule states two-thirds of the content must be delivered online, Redeker said.
Mary Morningstar, associate professor of special education, said that the biggest challenge with the online environment of classes was keeping the students engaged.
The online courses are more time-consuming up front because the teacher must get the class prepared so it can be put online, she said.

Morningstar has been teaching online courses about special education since 2003. The online courses offered by the special education department are specialized so people from all across the country are taking the class, she said.
"The need and desire to take online courses is increasing." she said.
Only around 20 students are allowed in each class to keep classes manageable. Last year, 60 students applied to take the class, she said.
Cameron Marsh, Lawrence senior, was taking Drugs and Society online through Continuing Education because the class wasn't offered during the semester he wanted to take it, he said.
"I'm taking my final next week," he said. "It's really quick if you want it to be."
Kati Benton, Ablene alumna, said she took six online courses in her undergraduate career. Two of those classes were taught through the KU Continuing Education and the other four classes she took through Cloud County Community College.
"I liked not having to wake up and go to class, but I didn't like having to guess what information the professor considered most important," she said.
The professors for her online classes were very prompt and answered all the questions she had within the day if not the next day, she said.
"It gives you a lot more free time" because there isn't an actual class to attend, he said.
Benton said she took online classes because she "wanted to get out of college," she said.

"I was kinda skeptical to take it
Although it would depend on the class, Benton said she would take online classes again.

》 CRIME
Alleged liberties may not be tried
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Alexander Heasley, Overland Park sophomore, was charged in August with one count of criminal sodomy and two counts of indecent liberties with a child.
The case of a 20-year-old University of Kansas student charged with sex crimes against a minor might not come to trial.
Heasley's attorney, Tyler Garretson, told District Judge Stephen Six that he expected the charges against Heasley to be resolved without a trial.
Garretson said he hoped to spare the 15-year-old alleged victim from testifying. He said he and the district attorney's office likely had more evidence to gather, but that Heasley likely would not even need a preliminary hearing.
Garretson declined to elaborate further on the evidence in a pending case. Another hearing is scheduled for Jan. 9.
The nature of the charges against Heasley includes lewd fondling or touching of a 15-year-old girl at a
Lawrence residence, according to the Douglas County district attorney's office.
图
Assistant district attorney Angela Wilson, one of the case's main prosecutors, did not return calls Tuesday.
The victim and her family did not appear in court Tuesday, and their identities are being withheld to protect their privacy.
Heasley and the victim had met in a Yahoo chat room and contacted each other in person in mid-July, according to the Douglas County district attorney's office.
The victim's family made the initial report to Lawrence police, according to court documents. Lawrence police then arrested Heasley in his Lawrence apartment Aug. 16. He has been free on $25,000 bond since his first appearance in court.

Senate Democrats voted Tuesday to make Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada majority leader and Dick Durbin of Illinois No. 2 in the party hierarchy.
Former Republican Majority Leader Trent Lott, meanwhile, opened a bid to return to the Senate's Republican leadership after being ousted in 2002 for remarks inter-
In the House Pelosi said she would prefer Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania for major leader over current lieutenant, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland. Critics accused Pelosi of backpedaling on a pledge to scrub the House of corruption.
Murtha, a decorated Vietnam veteran who favors an immediate drawdown of U.S. troops in Iraq, has fought charges for years of using his senior status on the defense appropriations subcommittee to award favors to campaign contributors. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a Democratic-leaning watchdog group, accused Pelosi of compromising her ethical standards by endorsing Murtha.
House Republicans are scheduled
to choose their new leaders Friday. There is a three-way race among John Boehner of Ohio, Mike Pence of Indiana and Joe Barton of Texas for minority leader.
Senate Democrats also filled some administrative posts. The new sergeant-at-arms will be Terrance Gainer, who was ousted earlier this year as chief of the U.S. Capitol Police after questions were raised about him hiring is son-in-law as a police officer.

BALDNESS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Rebecca Hays, professor of genetics, said the male-pattern baldness gene is a recessive mutation on the x-chromosome.
"It depends on the mother's gene," she said. "So, it's all up to the moms."
testosterone levels. "It's a double-edged sword," she said. "The more testosterone, the more likely to be bald. However, high testosterone helps build musc-"
Hays, the geneticist, said students who went bald at a young age were predisposed to high testosterone levels.
Nick Kurtenbach, a Kansas football player, said he had been losing his hair since his senior year in high school.
"I didn't like it at first," he said.
"But it's not like I stay at home on Saturday nights wishing I had hair."
Kurtenbach, a Lindsay, Neb., junior, said he has a girlfriend, and until he loses all of his hair, he won't worry about it.
"I hope I can just hold on for another five years," he said. "I just want to make it to 30."
Kurtenbach isn't the only football player who is losing hair. Joe Mortensen, sophomore linebacker, reacted to his receding hairline by shaving his whole head like Mr. Clean
Others are upset because they are not able to experience Mohawks, mullets, rattails or any other funky hairdo, many try to cover it up.
Leylink, the stylist, estimated about 35
percent of her customers had a preceding hairline.
Leylink dated a guy with a receding hairline, and she cut his hair to minimize what was missing.
"I left the 'widow's peak' longer, and cut the bangs shorter, which creates the illusion of hair."
Leylink and Mareska, the other stylist, said they have balding customers who are worried about losing their hair.
"When I cut it too short, they get mad," Mareska said.
"Get rid of the skater/surfer look." Levink said.
They said bald guys were actually more attractive than shaggy guys.
"Yeah, we would much rather date a bald guy than a guy with shaggy hair," Mareska said.
While these stylists claim they would prefer to date a bald guy.
1) Huik Hogan, professional wrestler
2) James Carville, political pundit
3) Aaron Lewis, lead singer of Staind
4) Cal Ripken, former MLB player
5) Moby, dance and techno band
6) Jesse Ventura, former Minnesota governor
"It's a double-edged sword.The more testosterone,the more likely to be bald."
Fran Scheuerman, Overland Park freshman, would like the ability to grow the "shag."
Scheuerman has a noticeably high hairline like others in his family.
"It doesn't make me look older," he said. "I don't have a mature face vet. So yeah, I'm fucked."
For men who can't live with it, the stylists recommend Rogaine or Nioxin.
Nioxin is hair plugs that are surgically implemented into the scalp.
REBECCA HAYS Professor of genetics
Hays, the geneticist, said male-pattern baldness was genetically inherited and that it was a myth that environmental factors, such as wearing a baseball hat, make men lose hair.
Hays said there was no effective medical way to prevent malepattern baldness. She said tennis star Andre Agassi started with a prodigious head of hair but embraced
balding — and made it look good.
Other bald sports figures include Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and former wrestling superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin.
KU guys who are never going to attain enough star power to flaunt their baldness are left with only two choices as their hairlines recede.
Like Hollingsworth, the Wichita freshman, they can bemoan their baldness and act as if they lost one of life's little lotteries. Or, like Towell, the Overland Park freshman, they can accept it, look old enough to get into bars, and even take a shine to bald jokes.

As for suggestions that would not cost the city much money, Matrix Consulting recommended clarifying the role and responsibility of the Planning Commission, referring to meetings that often go late into the night. Adopting timelines in which developers can expect to hear back from the city was also high on the list. Matrix highly recommended that the city adopted a single set of building codes: the most recent version of the International Code Council. Pennington said that measure would make it easier for out-of-town developers to do business in Lawrence.
Matrix also put a higher emphasis on the Internet in its report, making part of the development process available online, not only for developers, but for members of the public wanting to know what's going on in their city.
Pennington pointed out a number of ways the city's approval process was efficient, but said by adopting a number of these recommendations, it would make the development-approval process clearer and more understandable for developers. He added that the goal of the approval process was not to make it easier to
get proposals approved, but to make that process more efficient.
tificate to Epic Apparel and her winning design will appear in the store's windows.
nobbie Flory, executive director of the Lawrence Home Builders Association said a more efficient process would greatly benefit the development community.
Pennington said that his company usually sees 85 percent of their recommendations implemented, and the process of implementing their suggestions could take several years, but the Lawrence city commissioners weren't atypical in their response to the report.
"It's unpredictable," she said of the current process. "There would be times, finding out at the end of the process a condition that wasn't known at the beginning."
"I think it could establish a tone in the community that could be very different," Rundle said. "I'm hearing less about 'business unfriendly' and that we're creating obstacles.
Commissioners agreed to evaluate different software systems in 2007 to properly choose which one would benefit the city the most for the future, but Amyx said he asked Corliss to look at some of the recommendations that could be done in a reasonable time.
Commissioner Mike Rundle wanted to make it clear that the city realizes it has improvements to make.
"I was blown away" Verreos said.
Verreos said the designs were up to par if not better than those from students in fashion schools he had visited across the country.
Carolina Medeiros, Recife Brazil, junior, attended the show and agreed with Verreos's assessment.
"I think that it was a good effort from everyone," Medeiros said. "You could see they put a lot of work into it."

"I didn't like that I had to miss out on this one," Sedberry said. "I want to try to have my voice heard."
The KU College Republicans organization did not return several calls for comment.
Kim Sedberry, Dallas senior, said she didn't register in time for an absentee ballot, but that she and her friends thought votes mattered more in this election than they had in recent years.

OPINION
PAGE 7A
》 OUR VIEW
Lower college costs now
You may not have heard of the Democrats' promise to make college more affordable, but it could profoundly affect how you finance your education.
The media mostly ignored the platform during the election season, but Democratic educational leaders pledged to make college tuition permanently deductible from taxes, to cut student loan interest rates and to expand Pell Grants. Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, who will be Speaker of the House, wants to enact the six-point plan within 100 hours after the 110th Congress takes office in January.
Whether Democrats enact the plan in 100 hours or 100 days, students should demand that the
Democratic Party carry out its campaign promise of making college less expensive and more accessible.
According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, families who put students through college would receive a $3,000 tax credit. The plan would lower interest rates from 6.8 to 3.4 percent for loans taken out by students, and also cut interest rates for loans taken out by parents by about half. It also calls for increasing the $4,050 Pell Grant.
The election will restructure important committees that deal with funding to colleges. In the House, Rep. George Miller of California will probably lead the Education Committee; in the
Senate, Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts would lead, the Chronicle says. Students should expect these Democrats to carry out their campaign promises, but let's also hope that Kansas politicians play an active role in higher education.
The Democrats have little time to implement their promise to students and their families. By early 2008, they will have already begun to campaign again. If the Democrats fail to support higher education, students will know whom to vote out of office next election.

Don't make assumptions based on religious beliefs
COMMENTARY
Christian Muslim. Atheist.
Now that you have seen these words, please read them once more and think about what mental images come to mind.
I would like to have an open discussion about stereotypes of religious and non-religious people in the media and how they limit our daily interactions with one another. There are wars going on right now about how and where it is appropriate to express faith, who has the superior faith and what to do about those people who have no faith tradition at all.
We all know that the United States is a predominately Christian nation, but I must ask the question, what in fact is a Christian? Is it someone who believes that everything written in the Bible is literal truth and must be followed strictly? Is it someone who believes in miracles such as the virgin birth of Jesus, the resurrection and healings of sick people? This is how mainstream Christianity has been portrayed for decades.
Religious tensions have been building up these past few years as
However, placing all people who self-identify as Christians into these categories would be a far cry from the truth. I know Christians who believe in evolution, support gay marriage, believe in the separation of church and state and take the Bible seriously, but interpret it within its cultural context. The belief that all Christians are Bible-thumping fundamentalists is simply not true.
BY BETH RUHL
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINIONOKANSAN.COM
the United States has chosen to go to war with a country that is primarily made up of Muslim people. This is not to say that this is the only reason for the war in Iraq, but it is certainly a considerable factor.
Sadly enough, a recent column printed in The New York Times by Jeff Stein, "Can You Tell A Sunni From a Shiite?" showed us that many of the leaders of our country, including members of Congress, don't even know the difference between the two major sects of Islam that are on the verge of a civil war.
Whenever we see a Muslim person presented in the news it is almost always in reference to a "terrorist" plot by people who "hate freedom". When you are only exposed to one aspect of a people, you begin to believe that what you are seeing is the only way they act.
The simple truth is that the people who believe in the radically conservative sects of Islam, such as Wahhabism or Salafism, are a small minority compared with members of the rest of the Muslim world, who tend to be more moderate.
Now we come to the people who are often referred to as atheists, agnostics or those people who do not claim any specific spiritual affiliation. People of any faith are
often wary of these types because they suspect that if one does not believe in a higher power, he or she will automatically try to bring down religious institutions and encourage behavior that is contrary to religious teachings. I'm not saying that hateful atheists don't exist, but I've seen just as many hateful Christians as hateful atheists.
As human beings we must have ethics in order to survive. Because we are sentient beings, we have the ability to experience pain, and therefore recognize that other people experience pain as we do. The best way for us to minimize pain and maximize our survival is to act according to the golden rule, which means, for example, not stealing from other people so you will not be stolen from or not killing someone so you won't be killed.
Whether you come to this conclusion through religion or other insight, it must be realized that there are people in all three of the aforementioned categories who will understand this and there are some who will not. However, you cannot differentiate between them and say one group is better than the other. There are good and bad apples in every bunch.
It is very easy to make assumptions about people based upon their religious/non-religious affiliation. Making judgments about individual people based upon group memberships is a safety net that is used when we don't want to deal with people who are different from us.

Best,worst places to steam it up on campus
It should be your goal as a Jayhawk to have sex on campus at least once, and I don't mean in the dorms.
Why? Because why not. It spices things up, and then you have a story that will make your friends jealous. Plus, you're paying thousands of dollars a year to use this campus. Why not get your money's worth and use the facilities to their fullest potential?
Some have published their opinions on the matter, but now it's my turn. So here you go. Eric Jorgensen's top four places to have sex on campus (no particular order), and two places to avoid.
How gnarly would it be to piledrive in one of the tallest structures on campus as large bells make everyone look your way? It would be totally tubular (thank you Ninja Turtles for the vocabulary).
Are those bells they hear, or you grunting? Who cares! You're having sex in the Campaina and they're not. Just peak your head over the edge and give the onlookers the Borat two thumbs up. Very nice!
2) Allen Fieldhouse. How could
1) The top of the Campanile — at high noon. Whenever you're walking around campus and you hear the Campanile's bells sounding in all their glory, most of the time you look over at it.

I not put this on the list? The only problem is figuring out where inside the arena to make with the sex.
During the basketball season, thousands of screaming fans take their turn camping for the next home game. Many times the campers will bring inflatable mattresses to sleep on while they wait to be replaced.
This would be a comfortable place and a good time to check the fieldhouse off your "to do it" list. However, being quiet may be a problem, seeing as how every Jayhawk in the fieldhouse is a screamer.
3) The walkway between Haworth and Malott. I walk past this glass corridor almost every day. Every time I do I always glance at it as I pass. Just one of these times I'd like to be making the boring walk to class, look up and see a set of butt cheeks pressed against the glass.
cheeks pressed against me and ask I would walk up there and ask for autographs. If you actually do this, I will personally Windex the butt prints off the window.
In the event you manage to pull this one off, you have to get a friend to take a picture from the ground. You would have the single best Facebook picture of all time.
4) The second-story bathroom in Watson Library. This bathroom is perfect. It is quiet, hidden and is in one of the more obscure locations on campus. This bathroom has the advantage of being protected by something no one likes and what we spend most our college years trying to avoid: books.
With so many books around, there is no way anyone will come near you two, or three or whatever. What better place to lay the pipe than in a room built by pipes? It's fate.
Now for the opposites. Here are two places to never have sex at, in or around.
1) Anywhere in Wescoe. In a building with a mistaken identity as a parking garage, it would be your luck to discover the person you're about to boink with also has a mistaken identity. That's a gift that keeps giving — nightmares.
2) Memorial Stadium. A Jayhawk rarely scores here when it really matters.

It was always so annoying when I would meet a perfect stranger and they wouldn't know my favorite movie, or even my "about me." Can you imagine?
If you are in a new network and your old friends never see how cool your new friends are, what is the point? You might as well have got a job. To help Facebook friends flesh out some of their half-baked
did you go to that party? Does it even exist as far as Facebook is concerned? No, it does not, and you are a liar.
This was before the news feed or mini新闻feed. And I went around for years not having a clue as to my social timeline. I had no idea the relationship status of the girl in poly sci.

John Zacharias, Lawrence Freshman, discusses his homework with Glenna Short, Edmond, Okla., junior. Undergraduates account for about two-thirds of the Kansas Alggebra Program's teaching assistants.
Student teachers perform job well
BY BRYAN DYKMAN
It is a Friday afternoon and about half of the expected 24 students have shown up to Alex Raymond's math class. At the end of the period, after the last student has filed out, Raymond collects the few pieces of homework the students handed in.
KAP isn't the only department to use and employ undergraduate TAs. The biology, chemistry and economics departments all use undergraduates in their programs, but not quite like KAP does.
Raymond, Leawood junior, is one of nearly 100 teaching assistants working for the Kansas Algebra Program. The TAs are, on average, only one or two years older than the students they are instructing. Undergraduates account for roughly two-thirds of KAP's discussion leaders.
To account for such large enrollment numbers — more than 2,200 students in both Math 101 and 002 — KAP divided its students into smaller discussions, with each discussion led by either a graduate or undergraduate TA.
Most of the Tas in KAP said their proximity in age to the students was beneficial.
But while the age may make the undergraduate TAs more approachable, it also creates frustrating gaps between the TAs and their classes.
"The age has a lot to do with the approachability factor," Raymond said. "There's no better way to get a student to get it than have another student teach it."
"All of the TAs are good students. We look for that when we hire them," Ingrid Peterson, director of KAP, said. "They are surprised and sometimes frustrated when they see that some of their students don't share those
same values."
This certainly isn't the case with all the students in KAP, Peterson said. Any new teacher undergraduate or otherwise, would have a similar reaction when some students did not perform as expected.
Nationally, beginning algebra programs have had withdraw/ failure rates as high as 40 to 50 percent. Peterson said. These classes are taught online or by an adjunct professor in a large lecture hall. KAP's withdraw/failure rate is a combined 20 to 25 percent.
"We've had lots of positive feedback," Peterson said. "I've heard students say that the undergraduate TAs are right on their level, and that communication is stronger because of the closeness in age."
"Math, especially at this level, requires more of a focus by both the student and the teacher," Peterson said, "That is why we don't allow more than 22 students in any Math 002 class and 24 students in Math 101."
Without undergraduate TA involvement, Peterson would have to lecture in front of all the students and be unable to accommodate individual needs and questions, something she said KAP does best.
Alex Bergin, who is enrolled in a Math 105 class with 300 students, estimated that about 15 to 20 students show up unless a test is given, about 5 percent of the total enrolled.
"The fact that it is an extremely large class with relatively little class participation endures skiing, regardless of whether or not you understand the material," Bergin said.
Back in Raymond's classroom, the undergraduate knows that the amount of homework the
students turned in isn't a reflection on the number of students who understand the material. Combined with grade printouts and test scores, Raymond uses a simple system to see if his students understand the material: he will pause from time to time and look at his class and count the number of sour faces. If all is clear, he'll continue.
This year, KAP is employing undergraduates who are psychology, philosophy, education and engineering majors. And while age and major contribute to the TAs effectiveness, assistant KAP director Melinda Montgomery, thinks another factor makes a TA a successful teacher.
"We [all the TAs] are good at math, but that doesn't mean that we are all completely mathematically inclined," Raymond said. "Having TAs with a broader range of interests helps us communicate with the students who also have interests outside of math."
"It's less to do with age and more to do with managing the class and the TA's ability to communicate effectively," Montgomery said.
Fifth-semester TA Bridget Franklin, Topeka senior, exemplifies Montgomery's ideal. After one TA was dismissed, Franklin took on more students in her class. She says she has come to be more of a peer counselor to her students than just a TA. Recently, she helped one of her students settle a roommate dispute after class.
Kansan correspondent Bryan Dykman can be contacted at editor@kansan.com.
"This class is hard," she said. "But it's your responsibility as a teacher to be open and let your students who are not succeeding know you are here to help them."

Edina Horvath, Budapest, Hungary, sophomore, signed on to play tennis at the University of Kansas without ever playing for coach Amy Hall-Holt or visiting the Lawrence campus. Horvath, whose friend told her about the tennis opening at the University, said she couldn't pass the opportunity to play in America.
Team attracts players from abroad
BY B.J. RAINS
Tennis coach Amy Hall-Holt has never been to Russia or Hungary.
Normally, that wouldn't be a big deal, but all but two of her tennis players hail from the distant countries. It's almost mind-boggling that Hall-Holt signed the girls to tennis scholarships without meeting them or seeing them play in person.
"We get a lot of different e-mails and stuff from different coaches that are trying to promote their players from other countries," Hall-Holt said. "They send us videos and they have a video Web site that we can
go to and they send us information on their international rankings and
where they have been playing in tournaments and stuff"
Hall-Holt admitted that she has had to focus her recruiting overseas because sub-par tennis facilities at

"It's been hard for us to recruit the top Americans because of our facilities."
Kansas have made it difficult to attract top American players.
AMY HALL-HOLT Tennis coach
"We're coming along with that,
e top American kids", Hall-Holt said, hinting that her only available scholarship for next year would be given to an American; "But it's been hard for us to recruit the top Americans because of our
facilities."
The Jayhawks top player, junior
Lia Avevde, hails from Odninsk,
Russia. She contacted a Moscow-based recruiting company to help her find an American school.
"I said I was looking for a school, and they helped me. I ended up getting about 20 offers," Adevea said.
Former Kansas assistant coach Frank Polito led the recruiting efforts for Avdeeva. She was impressed with the amount of interest he showed through phone calls and e-mails.
Avdeeva read about Kansas, but it was a special phone call with fellow Russian Sasha Kaun that sealed the deal.
"It was good that we could talk
in Russian," Avdeeva said. "He told me that he liked it and that it was a really good school and was good in sports and everything."
So Avdeeva was off to Kansas without ever visiting the campus. Edina Horvath, Budapest, Hungary, sophomore, had a similar situation. A friend told her a KU coach was looking for a player and recommended that she check it out. Horvath said she provided the coaches with her results and rankings and they sent her information about the University.

Coaches meet again Kansas, Oral Roberts connections add interest
BY SHAWN SHROYER
With the connections between Kansas and Oral Roberts, few introductions will be necessary tonight.
Before he took Tulsa, Illinois and Kansas to Elite Eights in the NCAA tournament, Self got his start as coach at Oral Roberts in Tulsa, Okla., from 1993-97. In 1995, Self hired Scott Sutton as an administrative assistant. Sutton is still on Oral Roberts' bench, now as coach.
The ties are striking, starting with Kansas coach Bill Self.
If Sutton's name sounds familiar, it might be because he's the son of the former Oklahoma State coach, Eddie Sutton, and brother of the current coach, Sean Sutton. Self was an assistant coach at Oklahoma State under Eddie when current Oral Roberts assistant coach Corey Williams played there.
It doesn't end there. Oral Roberts freshman forward Sylvester Spicer went to South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, with Kansas freshman forward Darrell Arthur. Finally, Self said Oral Roberts senior forward Caleb Green told his coach he wanted to play in Allen Fieldhouse once before he graduated.
Selected as the Mid-Contiuntent Conference Preseason Player of the Year and having been the MCC Player of the Year the last two seasons, Green will be a target in tonight's game.
"If they pick the top 50 players in the country, he's not 40 to 50," Self said. "He's one of the legitimate best players in the country."
Green played well in Oral Roberts' season opener against Loyola-Marymount. He posted a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds although the Golden
Kansas turned 21 Northern Arizona turnovers into 28 points and had 13 fast break points to the Lumberjacks' six. After the game, Self said he thought the team could still run even more this season, and it may start tonight.
Eagles lost 68-65.
During its loss to Loyola-Marymount, Oral Roberts used a tight rotation of just eight players. This could be a problem for the Golden Eagles, going up against a group of Jayhawks who had a lot of success running the court in their season opener.
Sophomore guard Mario Chalmer's wasn't in the starting lineup last game because of a sprained toe, but managed to play 16 minutes. Self expected him to be close to 100 percent by tonight and

1947:KU clobbers K-State Unfriendly rivalry tainted victory
BY DREW DAVISON
Nov. 1, 1947 Kansas 55, Kansas State 0
Editor's note: This week, The University Daily Kansan looks back at four classic games between the Jayhawks and the Wildcats.
Kansan headline— "Kansas Rolls over Wildcats, 55-0"
Kansas coach Mark Mangino wasn't born in 1947 when the Kansas vs. Kansas State rivalry was at an all-time high.
"I think it's a good, healthy rivalry," Mangino said at his weekly press conference yesterday. "It's nothing out of hand."
The rivalry was definitely out of hand when the Jayhawks smashed the Wildcats 56 years ago, 55-0. It is the largest victory margin in the 104-year history of the match-up. Kansas State must have gotten sick of the pounding they were taking from Kansas, and the game turned ugly.
K-State's Rollin Prather was ejected for mistaking Jayhawk Ray Evans' head for a football. Prather, a 6-foot-5-inch, 220-pound lineman, kicked Evans' head when he was on the ground.
Evans survived the kick, and he is in the Memorial Stadium Ring of Honor and his jersey is hanging in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse. He was an All-American in both football and basketball.
After the dirty play against Evans, K-State repeated itself. Vic Jones threw a football into the referee's stomach, getting a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty.
The Wildcats had yet to unleash enough frustration at that point. Kansas State's Sam Muscolino hit Kansas' Ken Sperry three times in the face. Luckily, the referee saw the last punch Muscolino landed on Sperry.
As former Kansan writer Cooper Rollow wrote, "The KU supremacy was evident from the start, and when the hapless Wildcats realized the futility of the situation, they apparently tossed school spirit overboard and inserted Texas rules in its place."
It was a highly penalized game with a total of 20 penalties between the teams for 235 yards. When the teams were actually playing football, Kansas dominated Kansas State. The Jayhawks had 241 rushing yards compared to the Wildcats 11. Evans led the Kansas rush attack behind guard Don Fambrough, who would later become the Jayhawks' coach.
Kansas also beat Kansas State in a two-mile race that took place during half-time. Bark Karnes won

Wildcat football turns around Kansas State celebrates after beating Texas
I am a teacher at the school.
BY FRED A. DAVIS III
KANSAN COLUMNIST
FDAVIS@ANKSAN.COM
Oh, those rascally Kansas State fans.
They've been letting me have it for my column a couple of months ago about K-State football taking a fall and Kansas football taking over as the dominant program in the state. And while I certainly expected to catch some flack, let me share with you some of the e-mails — exactly as they appeared — that I've received in the last week.
"...you may now take your foot out of your mouth," and "ha...your a joke!"
"Good call on KSU going down the tubes toolbox."
"What do you think now AIRHEAD??!"
And my personal favorite, "Hey Fred, after writing that trash about K-State don't you feel like an idiot now?"
to answer that last question before I continue, no, I don't feel like an idiot, because as long as I continue to receive e-mails from grammatically inept and
sophomoric name-calling K-State fans, I'll actually feel better. But I digress..
So, the Kansas State fans are jumping for joy, first because they became bowl eligible a few weeks ago and secondly because they beat Texas and dashed the Longhorns' chances of back-to-back national championships. Kudos to the Wildcats.
I must say, the job that Ron Prince has done at Kansas State this year is not bad — not bad at all. Nobody expected much from the lovable Wildcats to the left, and after a troubling showing early in the season, they have bounced back emphatically.
Yet, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how much freshman stud quarterback Josh Freeman has had to do with the purple people of the plains becoming legitimate in the Big 12 again. The show he put on against Texas was incredible, and the maturity this kid has developed over the season is impressive. Man, I'd like to know what Ron Prince said to pry the kid away from Nebraska — or what was said that forced three other quarterbacks to transfer. In any case, God bless Josh Freeman if you watch the Wildcats on a regular basis.
And how about Yamon Figurs and Leon Patton? The switch from Yo to Yamon has paid dividends and LeRoy looks like an inch-taller version of Darren Sproles.
Everybody, stand up and applaud your 2006 Kansas State Wildcats.
Nobody expected squat from K-State this year, and you pull off a little bowl eligibility, and congratulations to you. But if I remember, I said two months ago that K-State should get used to 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-win seasons. How many victories do you have this year, K-State fans?
And don't count on No.
8, because I got news for the Powercat faithful: it ain't happening. This isn't Colorado, and unlike Texas, we do have two quarter-backs that can take care of business. I know the K-State fans are riding high, and for some strange reason they think they're going to two-step their way to a victory on Saturday. Here's a hint for K-State fans — think of Saturday's game the way you think of KU basketball every time we come to Bramlage.
Kansan sportswriter Fred A. Davis III can be contacted at fdavis@kansan.com.
Oh, and to all of the K-State fans reading this and any of my previous columns, thanks for the support. Of course, if I was stuck with the Collegian, I'd read The Kansan too. See ya Saturday.

MANHATTAN.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan.
— Kansas State has won two straight, including a surprising 45-42 victory over then-No. 4 Texas, but coach Ron Prince still isn't satisfied.
He wanted his team to play in the Big 12 Championship game in Kansas City, a dream that was dashed when Nebraska defeated Texas A&M 28-27 on Saturday and secured the Big 12 North title.
Prince insists his Wildcats (7-4,
3-4 Big 12) already will have
forgotten about last week's win over Texas when they travel to Lawrence to take on Kansas (5-5, 2-4) on Saturday.
"We didn't win any championship Saturday, and that's what we came here to do," Prince said. "It was a nice win, a good win and it will be one that we will remember, but that one doesn't have anything to do with this one."
The last time Kansas State played at Kansas, the Jayhawks snapped Kansas State's 11-game winning streak with a 31-28 victory.
Quarterback Josh Freeman, who was named the Big 12's offensive player of the week for the second straight time after finishing with a 269 yards passing and a career-high four touchdowns, said the players are concentrating on Kansas.

Kansas State might have to play without return man and wide receiver Yamon Figurs, who was injured Saturday. Figurs, who was named Big 12 co-special teams player of the week, finished with 123 yards receiving and two touchdowns.

Bowl game uncertain
Kansas needs two more victories to be bowl-eligible
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Sure, Kansas could beat Kansas State this weekend and get its sixth victory of the season.
But that doesn't mean the Jayhawks will be bowling for a second-straight season.
With eight Big 12 Conference teams already bowl-eligible and expected to fill the eight bowl games that the conference is guaranteed, Kansas might be left searching elsewhere for a postseason game. Or left at home for the holidays, despite having enough victories to qualify.
The problem for the layhawks is an NCAA and Big 12 Conference rule that forces bowls to select a team with a winning record, 7-5, for example, over a team at 6-6.
"All teams with a winning record will be selected ahead of 6-6 teams," Associate Big 12 Commissioner Bob Burda said.
That means a team like Troy (5-4) from the Sun Belt Conference or Northern Illinois (5-5) from the Mid-American Conference could snatch up an at-large spot from a 6-6 Kansas team, if one finishes with
a winning record.
The reason for all the bowl posturing stems from an NCAA rule change during the offseason that allowed teams to count victories against 1-AA teams for bowl eligibility. With more victories counted for bowl games, bowl spots became harder to get. Also adding to the number of bowl-eligible teams is the addition of a 12th game to the schedule.
The good news for the Jayhawks is that they control their own bowl destiny. Victories against Kansas State and Missouri would put Kansas at 7-5 and would guarantee the team a bowl game, possibly the Houston Bowl or the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La.
It's possible, but unlikely, that the Jayhawks could wind up in a Big 12 bowl. For that to happen, Kansas would have to hope for the latest bowel eligible team, Oklahoma State, to lose its final two games to Texas Tech and Oklahoma. That would leave the Cowboys at 6-6. A victory Saturday would also put Kansas no worse than 6-6.
It's more likely though that Kansas splits its final two games —
against Kansas State and Missouri — and would be selected as an at-large team.
Spots in several bowls should open up because conferences like the Big 10 may not have enough bowl-eligible teams.
The Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego is the only bowl with a designated at-large spot, but several others could have open spots with their conferences not having enough bowl eligible teams. Those possible bowls include the New Mexico Bowl and the Motor City Bowl in Detroit.
While a bowl game is certainly the goal, it's something that coach Mark Mangino refuses to talk about.
"I'm not thinking about bowls, I'm not talking about bowls," Mangino said. "I'm more interested in winning and that will all take care of itself."

Former redshirt improving Freshman player gains skill with actual game time
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
37
There's nothing quite like a baptism by fire.
It's certainly not the easiest way to learn, but Darrell Stuckey had no other choice.
After suffering an ankle injury in training camp that forced the freshman safety to miss nearly half the season, Stuckey got tossed into the flames just as conference play was beginning to heat up.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Darrell Stuckey, freshman safety, has been improving his skills recently by playing in real games. Two weeks ago, against Iowa State, Stuckey had two tackles and his first fumble recovery.
That meant he never got the chance to learn and get the kinks out of his game against teams like Northwestern State or Louisiana-Monroe.
It's taken a few weeks, but Stuckey's progress is beginning to show.
Two weeks ago against Iowa State, Stuckey recorded two tackles and made his first career fumble recovery. He also set career highs in total and solo tackles in first three games back. But better than that is Stuckey is now getting back to where he was before the injury.
"It's like I started from scratch all over again," Stuckey said. "Before I got hurt, I felt like I was moving with great speed and I was very used to speed of the game."
No question, missing those first five games certainly hurt Stuckey's progress. Although he took a redshirt last season and practiced with the team, there's no substitute for game experience. And with that game experience he's gained over the last month, Stuckey's progress has started to show.
"He's much better than he was; there's no question about it," defensive coordinator Bill Young said. "Losing those first five games really hampered his progress. He's starting to see the big picture."
knowledge of the game.
Seeing the big picture is about more than just the physical aspect.
The key for Stuckey has been learning all the mental nuances of the game. Whether its body position in pass coverage or just knowing where to be in a play, Stuckey's starting to grasp it. His speed may not be back quite yet, but he's making up for it with his growing
"I move to spaces probably quicker than I did before I got hurt because I'm smarter now," Stuckey said.

Michigan- Ohio game sparks debate
COLUMBUS, Ohio — In NFL locker rooms, middle-school study halls and taverns across the country, everybody is talking about Saturday's showdown between No. 2 Michigan and No. 1 Ohio State.
Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, for instance, favors a team not even playing in the game.
"Whatever is the best for Notre Dame, that's what I'm rooting for. Tell me what that is and that's what my rooting for," he said Tuesday.
So Weis is selling on margin, so to sneak.
Others also are hoping for a rout when Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith puts his Heisman 'Trophy candidacy on the line against the Wolverines' strong defense.
Notre Dame, of course, needs help to make it to the BCS national championship game against whomever wins the Michigan-Ohio State game. The worst scenario for the Fighting Irish, who are ranked fifth in this week's BCS rankings, is if the game is a tight struggle decided in the final seconds. That would allow the loser to retain a shot at a rematch in Glendale, Ariz., on Jan. 8.
"Win by a hundred, sign me up," he said.
"Ain't no ifs, ands or buts about it. It's a blowout," said Cincinnati Bengals running back Chris Perry, a Michigan grad. "(Defensive tackle Alan) Branch is going to knock the stuffing out of — what's his name?
— Troy Smith. He shouldn't even win the Heisman. He's not going to win his league or the national championship"
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel has won four of the last five meetings with Michigan's Lloyd Carr. Perry even has an explanation for that trend.
"We all know what's going to happen. We're going to win it. It's been long overdue. Tressel's been cheating," he said, laughing in the Bengals locker room. "Hey, we're going to keep it real. There ain't nothing else to say."
There was plenty to say in the Green Bay Packers' locker room.
Defensive back Charles Woodson is an Ohio native who went to Michigan, won the 1997 Heisman Trophy and led the Wolverines to the national championship that year. Linebacker A.J. Hawk played on Ohio State's 2002 national championship team, won the Lombardi Award last year and was taken in the first round of the draft by the Packers.
Woodson planned to place a wager on the game with the rookie
"We'll figure something out," he said. "A nice little round figure."
Hawk, noted for watching his dollars during his college days, wasn't so
"Charles has been in this league for a while, so I don't know if I want to bet with him," he said. "Maybe about wearing (college) jerseys or something like that, but I don't know about the money."
"I heard there's a game over there," cracked Kirk Ferentz, whose Iowa team lost to Michigan 20-6 and to Ohio State 38-17.
"I really expect that game to be one that's remembered for a long time," said Wisconsin coach Brielema, whose team didn't play Ohio State and lost its only game, 27-13, at The Big House in Ann Arbor.
Even though every other Big Ten team is in action on Saturday, most of the other coaches said they were planning to record the game and watch it later.
Terry Hoeppner, whose Indiana Hoosiers lost 44-3 to Ohio State and 34-3 to Michigan, refused to be lured into predicting a winner. After all, he'll have to face both teams in the future.
"You think I'm going to pick one or the other, you're crazy!" he said.
Not everyone was sitting on the fence, however.

'Bold and daring' philosophy pays off f
Kansas State's first-year coach Ron Prince led the Wildcats to one of the biggest victories in program history Saturday when they knocked off No. 4 Texas in Manhattan, In Monday's K-State Collegian, Austin Meek credits the new coach for bringing a new attitude to town.
Ron Prince stood at the podium,
a Texas-sized grill plastered across
his face.
C
The question was something to the effect of, "Do you
realize you're the first coach in the history of the universe to run a wide receiver pass and a halfback pass on consecutive plays?"
Prince scanned the room full of reporters and gave his answer.
"I'm not going to say 'bold and daring,' because you all will laugh," he said.
See, Prince has used that phrase about 12,000 times in the last three
months (not that anyone's counting). He probably has coffee cups and bath towels that say "bold and daring." It's just who he is.
Prince's bold and daring philosophy has been discussed, dissected and maligned since K-State's first play of the season, a deep pass that was intercepted.
Now, after an improbable 45-42 upset of No. 4 Texas, the last laugh is Prince's.
First, let's make it clear that this was a truly remarkable football game.
Sometimes, in the rosy afterglow of postgame celebrations, games grow like tall tales. Exciting games become epics by the time last call rolls around at Rusty's.
But this game was the real thing. Each team won and lost about five times.
Texas converted a fourth down, scored a touchdown and lost its starting quarterback - all on the same play.
— The Wildcats, who said all week they needed a perfect game to beat Texas, gave up 14 points on
two disastrous special teams plays.
- Four Wildcats attempted passes, and it would have been five if punter Tim Reyer hadn't be sacked on a fake punt.
Texas gained more yards, picked up more first downs, ran 21 more plays than K-State - and still lost.
In this topsy-turvy game, the only constant was Prince. He never let up and never went conservative, even when Texas mounted the inevitable fourth-quarter charge.
"We knew they were going to go on a run. That's just how it is." Prince said. "They have too many good players, terrific coaches.
"We were going to respond. We were going to stay aggressive and pass the ball if we needed to."
The proof came with 53 seconds remaining and K-State facing third-and-6. Another coach would have run the ball, milked the clock, put his defense back on the field. But that's not Prince.
It all goes back to a lesson he learned from Al Groh, his old boss at Virginia.

"He told me something I'll never forget. He said, 'Think players first, then plays,' Prince recalled.
"Those were my words before we went out there. I told Josh (Freeman), 'Don't throw to anybody but Jory Nelson. He's our best player."
Sure enough, Freeman avoided a sack, dumped the ball to Nelson and K-State fans began their assault on the Snyder Family Stadium goal posts.
A few weeks ago. K-State was mired in a losing streak, and former coach Bill Snyder begged fans to support Prince.
Now Prince has put his stamp on the program by pulling off one of the biggest upsets in K-State history. He might even be Coach of the Year in the Big 12 Conference. It's a bold prediction, but that's what Prince is all about.
And that's no joke.

As the clock ran out on Texas, there wasn't much time to consider the big picture.
In Monday's University Daily Texan, columnist Eric Ransom examines Texas' loss to Kansas State, which knocks the Longhorns out of national championship contention.
Kansas State fans jumped the railing and formed a crush of purple at midfield. The Longhorn players managed to find one another and slowly headed for the locker room.

"At Texas, there's never a good time to lose," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "Ohio State wasn't good timing either. What you do is play the best that you can play, do the best that you can do, and tonight we just
The Longhorns came out of the locker room.
As the fans in Manhattan tried to tear down the goal posts, a curious thing happened.
The line of players and coaches walked back down the ramp to shake hands with the Wildcats and sing the school song.
It was a classy gesture for a team which had suddenly been knocked out of the national-title picture.
Even had Texas won, a series of things would have needed to happen. Louisville's loss was the first, and Auburn's loss wouldn't have hurt either.
At the very least, the loss simplifies things for Texas.
Win the division, win the conference and win the bowl game. There's no positioning or politicking needed this year.
Texas' first goal this season was not to get back to the national title game, but to win the Big 12 South. The Longhorns have one more game to do that, so don't buy the fact there's nothing to play for anymore this season.
And with as many injuries as Texas' players have, the bye week couldn't come at a better time. At the very least, the Longhorns hope to have their quarterback back.

iowa State players blame themselves struggle to accept coach's resignation
Iowa State coach Dan McCormey announced that he will resign at the end of the season. In Tuesday's Iowa State Daily, Grant Wall wrote about how the players are handling the resignation.
The end of Dan McCarney's tenure at Iowa State isn't sitting well with his players.
The controversial circumstances surrounding his resignation — including the fact that McCarney will be paid the remainder of his
c o n tract, not so m e t h i g t h a t usually happens when some

OUTDOORS
one resigns — are a sore spot for
the ISU football team.
The question asked to senior Ryan Baum was simple and straightforward: So, are you upset?
ASSOCIATED PRESS
His answer was just as direct.
FSU
He wasn't done there.
"Oh yeah," Baum said.
"I had to go home and sit by myself and think about it for a minute," Baum said. "It was like seeing a family member pass away. It's one of the hardest things I've ever gone through, and I'm still going through it until the day I walk out of here, which is Sunday.
"You can't just walk in here and see the same faces anymore," Baum said. "You can't come in here and coach Mac and shake his hand on the field or talk to the players. I personally am having a hard time with it, and I know some of my senior friends are having a hard time with it."
"I don't agree with it, but it's not my decision. I know it's a business decision, but it's hard for me to comprehend why you would get rid of someone who had built this place, basically."
Baum walked on to the Cyclone football team, making an impact on special teams. He returned a punt for a touchdown against Northern Iowa earlier this season.
It isn't just Baum who is upset. Senior Austin Flynn also had a few things to get off his chest. Asked to describe the team's feelings about the decision, Flynn chose anger to describe his emotions.
"It's mostly anger," he said. "The whole situation, everyone wants to blame Pollard, and I'm sure he had his resources and people under him who fell into that decision. So I guess the whole decision by whoever made it, collectively."
Flynn feels much of the blame for the situation should be traced back to the players - especially the senior class - not McCarney.
Iowa State coach Dan McCarrney announced his resignation, effective at the end of the season. His players are uset, and partially blame themselves for the circumstances surrounding his leaving.
Everyone is preparing for the season finale against Missouri with someone else in mind. McCarney wants a win for his players.
"We put a lot of blame on our shoulders, which we should," Flynn said. "We're the senior class. We're supposed to carry on the legacy, carry on the tradition. I put a lot of the blame on our shoulders. Also, being a captain, it falls more on me too. Every one of these guys feel a little bit of that blame."
"I want this for [my players]," McCarney said. "I want to coach again. I don't know when or where or how, but this isn't about me. If you've ever played the game, there is one last time you pull on the uniform and that's really, really meaningful.
"Hopefully I'll wear a whistle again, but a lot of these guys won't pull on a uniform again, and the finality of that is so meaningful."
And his players want to win for him.
Hes tried to take all the focus off himself and tries to put it on the seniors, playing for them," junior receiver Todd Blythe said. "As a team, we want to get this done for him."

JESUS
ssy in defeat
Pardon the expression, but Texas seemed snakebit from the start. After McCoy left the game, special teams kept the Longhorns' offense rolling by providing good field position. Jevan Snead tried his best but could only complete two passes in the first half.
The defense, meanwhile, fell victim to Josh Freeman's coming-out party. Texas had difficulty in both rushing Freeman and stopping the yards after catch.
by the second half, Justin Blalock left the game after getting leg-whipped on a play. The two marquee running backs each coughed up the ball in the third quarter. Throw in a punt block, and it was a nightmare night for the Longhorns.
Snead does not deserve to be the goat on the night — he showed significant improvement in the second half. Snead tended to overthrow receivers, and he was sacked five times in the game. But the fact might be lost that he led Texas to an 84-yard touchdown drive to give the Longhorns a chance with less than two minutes left.
The onside kick failed, however,
and Kansas State ran out the clock to
win the game.

The Kansas volleyball team had a week with no games, which they used to get ready for tonight's game at Baylor.
Kansas has used its recent break from names to get ready for tonight's game at Baylor. The Javahawks won earlier this season when they faced Baylor.
BY DREW DAVISON
"It's a perfect opportunity to get our legs back," Emily Brown, junior right side hitter/setter, said.
The Jayhawks (10-15, 3-13) will face the Bears (17-12, 5-11) for the second time this season at 7 tonight in Waco, Texas, at the Ferrell Center. Kansas swept Baylor earlier this season in Lawrence, but it has yet to win a conference road game this season.
Brown said the team will look to defeat the Bears and will go in mentally knowing they can beat them.
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said the week off would give the team the opportunity to prepare for the game.
Kansas uses break to prepare
"We need it.very much," she said.
The Kansas offense will face a stiff Baylor defense. The Bears rank third in the Big 12 averaging 3.17 blocks a game, however, the Jayhawks average 15.81 kills per game, fourth in the league.
"We are not going to give up."
Correa and Brown are both in the Big 12 individual top 10 in kills. Correa is eighth averaging 3.91 kills and Brown is tenth with 3.47.
The Bears are coming off a five-game match win at Texas Tech last week. Baylor is led by Desiree Guillard-Young, senior middle blocker, who is second in the conference with 1.56 blocks per game. The Bears also have Big 12 ace leader Taylor Barnes. Barnes, freshman setter, averages 0.53 a game.
The Jayhawks have lost six in a row, and coach Ray Bechard is trying everything to get his team back to the win column. He has changed
the gameday routines at home and on the road, and has also tried new rotations.
Bechard said he went to a two-setter system instead of a one-setter system to try and spark the team. The change gave Isadora Rangel, freshman outside hitter, an opportunity to play extensively in the Colorado match.
"I thought she held her own and did a nice job." Bechard said.
Kansas returns home for their next two matches against Missouri (15-10, 9-7) and Nebraska (23-1, 15-1). The Jayhawks and Tigers play at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

Chiefs face quarterback toss-up
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quarterback Trent Green hoped to get the medical go-ahead to play this week, which will force Kansas City coach Herm Edwards to make what could be his most critical decision of the season.
Should Green, rusty after being out of action for more than two months, start Sunday against Oakland?
Or should the Chiefs stick with Damon Huard, who stepped in on Sept. 10 when Green was knocked unconscious with a severe concussion and has played much better than anyone expected, going 5-37.
ROOMMATE
SURFACE
Edwards said he might learn Tuesday night or Wednesday whether doctors would give Green the OK.
The two-time Pro Bowler, who had more yards passing the past five seasons than any other quarterback but Peyton Manning, has been working his way back since getting knocked out in the third quarter of the Sept. 10 season opener.
Huard, who hadn't made a start since 2000, has been the Chiefs' most pleasant surprise in years. He thrown 11 touchdown passes and only one interception, connecting on 146 of 241 passes for 1,824 yards. But Green is the acknowledged leader of the Chiefs as well as one of the most accurate medium-range passers in
Now the Chiefs (5-4) trail Denver and San Diego by two games in the AFC West and are probably competing for a wild-card playoff spot. They face two key division games in the next eight days, against Oakland on Sunday and then the Broncos four days later on Thanksgiving.
And gone, too, in all probability, will be Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez. The Chiefs' leading pass receiver, Gonzalez sprained his left shoulder on one of the final plays of last week's 13-10 loss at St. Louis and may be gone for at least two or three games.
Pro-Green advocates ask how can Edwards start a career backup who's had a few good games over a two-time Pro Bowler who's had four outstanding years?
Pro-Huard fans say stick with the hot hand, and that there's no time to let Green work off the rust because every game is crucial to Kansas City's playoff hopes.
the league.
Whoever lines up under center against the Raiders will be confronting one of the bleakest situations the Kansas City offense has had in years. Out for the second week in a row will be Pro Bowl left guard Brian Waters and starting right tackle Kevin Sampson. Behind this patchwork line, Huard was hurried and harried all day by an aggressive Rams defense.
Edwards said on Monday Gonzalez would definitely be out this week, but said Tuesday he would be listed as "doubtful."

Horvath couldn't pass the opportunity to play American tennis. The move paid off for Hall-Holt. Three weeks ago, the duo of Avdeeva and Horvath stormed through the
field at the ITA Central Region Championships to capture the Doubles Title, knocking off the top-seeded team in the process.

This advantage has helped the tennis team attract a large number of overseas recruits.
In addition to practice, weight lifting and conditioning sessions, the women also have had to adjust to a new language while being expected to earn good grades.

while Kuni Dorn, like Horvath, is from Hungary.
"It's really hard for international students, especially because we can't speak English very good."
"Once you get one over here, it usually opens up a pipeline." Hall-Holt said. While many schools don't offer scholarships to students who come at semester, Kansas has extra scholarships available in January.

speak English very good," Horvath said. "A lot of teachers and friends have helped me a lot, which has made it a little bit easier."
None of the girls made recruiting trips
to Lawrence so some of them were surprised when they arrived on campus.
"I expected that the city would be much bigger," Avdeeva said. "Back home we have a lot more busses. We don't have a lot of cars, so people usually walk and use the public transportation."
Because it takes close to 24 hours and four separate plane flights to reach their home towns, the women can only make it home during Christmas break and the summer. In August, when Horvath returned to Lawrence after a 14-day trip home to see her family, Bukina and Dorn waited for her arrival at the airport.
The players use web cameras and instant messaging to communicate daily with their parents.
"They miss me a lot but they are happy for me," Avdeeva said of her family.
Horvath talks with her parents and older sister daily as well, and is eagerly awaiting when her family visits Lawrence for the first time during the summer.
Hall-Holt, meanwhile, hopes that she can someday travel to Russia and Hungary and visit the places that her players call home.
"I definitely want to get over there and visit since I have people there now that can help me get from place to place."
Until then, she will continue to recruit players from abroad and do what she has done the past few years: meet them for the first time when they arrive on campus.

CRIME
Athletes arrested for alleged assault
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
A bloodstain on the pavement outside his home serves as a reminder to Tyler Kelly of a violent incident he told police he experienced there almost two weeks ago.
Sophomore pole vaulter John McDonald was arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery and released on
a $10,000 bond in connection with the beating of Kelly, a teammate of McDonald's, about 3:15 a.m. Oct. 28. The district attorney has not formally brought charges against him.
McDonald will make his first appearance in Douglas County District Court on Friday.
At least one other person has been arrested in connection with the case.
Forest Park, Ill., sophomore Greg Krupa was also arrested and charged with aggravated battery in connection with the incident and was later released on a $3,000 bond.
An Athletics Department administrator said two other members of the track team had been suspended in connection with the incident. Freshman pole vaulter Jordan Scott
and sophomore pole vaulter Ryan Hayes have been suspended, the administrator said. It has not been confirmed whether they were arrested.
According to the police report, Kelly was attacked by five men outside his home in the 4700 block of Ranch Court. The fifth person is not yet known, but the police report said
he was likely unknown to Kelly.
Kelly was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital following the attack to receive treatment for a concussion and other injuries sustained during the fight. He had surgery to repair a broken cheekbone Nov. 8. His head and face are still swollen, said his father, Albert Kelly.
"He lost a lot of blood," Albert said.
"He could have died."
Tyler was found outside his home by his roommate Tyson Willoughby, 2006 graduate. Willoughby didn't witness the attack, but was asleep at the time and spoke with police when they arrived.

Dancers to perform numbers by faculty
Daners with shiny dresses in red, teal, gold, pink and black rehearsed for their performance by moving across the stage with quick movements to Baroque music.
The dancers made smooth transitions from quick movements to slow graceful ones, emphasizing the change in tempo.
The piece, "Girls and Boyce," was choreographed by Willie Lenoir, instructor of dance, and is just one of the faculty pieces that will be performed by the University Dance Company today and Friday.
The University of Kansas' University Dance Company — a group of 24 students who auditioned — will perform several pieces by dance faculty as well as a piece by guest choreographer Carl Corry. Corry's work, "Pop Trio," will feature Christina Agulera's song "Beautiful," the Beatles "Let it Be" and Soraya's "Reason to Believe." The dances to each song were choreographed at different times, Corry said.
"Each one of the songs struck me and inspired me individually and for different reasons," he said.
Corry came to Kansas for a week to work with the dancers for his piece.
"It was a wonderful week of teaching and working on these pieces and putting them together," he said.
Morgan Fogarty, St. Charles, Ill., senior; said it was good to get to work with Corry and other guest choreographers "because they are out in the professional dance world

ODD NEWS Runaway turkey causes traffic jam on NY bridge
NEW YORK — Perhaps attempting to escape a Thanksgiving Day fate, a small wild turkey made a dash for the big city.
The 10-pound female bird wandered onto a busy bridge's toll plaza Tuesday afternoon, halting traffic for about 15 minutes as workers chased the fowl.
No one knew how the turkey got onto the Triborough Bridge. City officials received a call that there was a loose bird just before the start of the evening rush hour, and six officers chased it around the Manhattan toll plaza.
"Watching it unfold on our cameras, it seemed the only thing missing was someone playing "Turkey in the Straw" said Triborough Bridge General Operations Manager Ray Bush.
The frightened turkey skittered back and forth across the plaza, evading capture for 15 minutes. Bridge officers finally cornered it, and a construction worker snatched it.
The turkey was released into a wooded area on nearby Wards Island.

Student homeowners save on rent
Investment properties allows families to control rent prices, expect profit after graduation
BY MATT ELDER
While many students shun the idea of adding more responsibility to their academic workloads, two KU students have welcomed real estate ownership as an investment during college.
Jesse Conrad, Libertyville, Ill., junior, co-owns his house at 901 West 22nd St. with his father. Conrad began looking at houses in Lawrence for investment property while he lived in McCollum Hall during his freshman year. After sending pictures and information to his father in Libertyville for approval, Conrad made the decision to purchase his house located near Alabama Street.
"I pretty much did all the work except pay for it," Conrad said. "I didn't have the credit to buy it just under my name and now I'll have a better credit score when I get out of school."
Conrad has been able to pay the majority of his mortgage payment during the past year and a half by charging his roommates rent. When he graduates from the University, Conrad will sell the house. Ultimately, Conrad could have lived in Lawrence after his freshman year for free.
"Anything you can save living out-of-state obviously helps," Conrad said. "In the long run that's the plan."
The investment property Jason Flohrs' family purchased at 1812 Maine St. came with a greater responsibility.
Flohrs, Overland Park senior, spent more than three months renovating his one-bedroom, one-bathroom home on Maine Street that was built in 1906. Flohrs that was to live in the front half of his house while the back was gutted during the renovation.
"For the first month I was there I didn't have cold water," Flohrs said. "My kitchen sink was my bathroom sink and bathtub, like half a step above roughing it here."
The house has been expanded to include three new bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen and a laundry room after more than $40,000 in renovations.
Flohrs has since moved elsewhere in Lawrence, but his sister Jennifer is living in the renovated house with two roommates. The family originally purchased the house using college funds saved for both Jason and Jennifer, and their father paid the remaining amount. The Flohrs plan to sell the house in August 2008 and expect to make a profit. The good news for Flohrs is that a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home a few doors down recently sold for $175,000. He hopes the renovations and the house's location near campus will help it sell for a larger amount. If the Flohrs' house were to sell for the same amount, the family would split $40,000 in profit after renovation costs.
But playing landlord doesn't come without worries for students investing in real estate properties. Conrad said collecting rent checks from friends — or roommates who have become friends — can be rough.
"We try to keep track of who we're inviting and letting in," Conrad said, "especially people I don't know or trust."
He also said he had to be more careful with college guests, as the owner of the home, than if he had been renting a home.
But for Marcus Walker, Hays junior and Conrad's roommate, the personal relationship with his landlord has offered several otherwise unavailable amenities.
"Jessie e-mails my dad at the end of every month with the bill, and reminds him about the payment," Walker said. "That way we haven't run into any problems."

O.J. Simpson's new book causes uproar
TV interview will promote 'If I did it,' which details how he would have killed his ex-wife if he were guilty
BY ERIN MCCLAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — O.J. Simpson created an uproar Wednesday with plans for a TV interview and book titled "If I Did It" — an account the publisher pronounced "his confession" and media executives condemned as revolting and exploitive.
Fox, which plans to air an inter
view with Simpson Nov. 27 and 29, said Simpson describes how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman, "if he were the one responsible."
Denise Brown, sister of Simpson's slain ex-wife, lashed out at publisher Judith Regan of ReganBooks for "promoting the wrongdoing of criminals" and commercializing
abuse. The book goes on sale Nov. 30.
She added: "It's unfortunate that Simpson has decided to awaken a nightmare that we have painfully endured and worked so hard to move beyond."
Regan refused to say what Simpson is being paid for the book but said he came to her with the idea.
"This is an historic case, and I consider this his confession," Regan told The Associated Press.
Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of murder after a trial that became an instant cultural flashpoint and a source of racial tension. The former football star was later found liable for the deaths in a wrongfuldeath suit filed by the Goldman family.

Now these opportunities will be available to more students across the state, thanks to a $515,157 grant the KU Multicultural Scholars Program just received from the Department of Education. With the money, the program will begin research and preliminary work that would help community colleges begin similar programs at their own schools. The money will also pay to establish these programs.
Renate Mai-Dalton, KU Multicultural Scholars Program director and founder, said the replication program would begin in Kansas City Kansas Community College, Colby Community College and Donelly College in Kansas City, Kan. More community colleges could be on the way.
Mai-Dalton said the programs would help community colleges make their students successful so they would be ready to transfer to four-year universities.

activities with other members of the program.
Marcus Roque, Overland Park junior, has participated in the KU Multicultural Scholars Program since his freshman year. Roque said the program was a valuable support and mentorship tool for him during his first few years at the University and he said it could be valuable to a community college environment as well.
"I think it would be great," Roque said. "I know I have a lot of friends at Johnson County Community College and it just doesn't seem like there is much social and support activities at community colleges like that to allow opportunities like this."

and even in dance it's all about who you know."
All the pieces the University Dance Company performs throughout the year come from guest artists, faculty or — in rare occasions — students. Meggi Sweeney, Carrollton, Mo., senior and company president, said. Sweeney said she didn't have a favorite piece, but rather liked the different qualities each piece offered.
"I love being able to do such a range of movement in one performance." Sweeney said.
The University Dance Company will be performing at 7:30 tonight and Friday at the Lied Center. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $7 for students and senior citizens. After the show tonight the performers and choreographers will be available to discuss the performance.

Performances
Other pieces that will be performed are "Caligula," by Muriel Cohen and danced by Patrick Suzeau, "On the Brink of Time," by Suzeau, "Rustic Song," by Cohan, "Gitanas," a ballet by Jerel Hilding and "Girls and Boyce," by Willie Lenoir. All are KU faculty members.
KELLY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said McDonald had not been dismissed from the team, but was suspended indefinitely. Marchiony added that the department did not plan to make a statement about the incident until the police investigation was complete. Coach Stanley Redwine declined to comment.
McDonald declined to comment, referring questions to his attorney, Michael S. Holland Sr., who also declined to comment. Neither Scott nor Hayes could be reached for comment.
Krupa will make his first appearance in court on Jan. 23. Krupa could not be reached for comment, but his attorney, John C. Johnson, said he didn't know enough about the case to comment.
"I haven't talked with him enough to make a statement," he said.
Despite his injuries, Tyler competed this past weekend in the Cross Country Midwest Regional Championships in Minneapolis, finishing 93rd out of 135.
Albert said his son willed himself to compete because the end of his
son's career was nearing and the competition was one of the last times Tyler would get to run. Kelly said his son was lucky not to be in worse shape.
"We're delighted we're planning Tyler's future instead of his funeral," he said.

Politician begins prision term
Jack Abramoff charged with misuse of campaign donations
COURTS
PRESIDENT
BY DAVID DISHNEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CUMBERLAND, Md. — Hours before entering federal prison Wednesday, lobbyist Jack Abramoff sent friends an e-mail lamenting "this nightmare" political scandal and predicting things were about to get worse — but still looking optimistically to the future.
Jack Abramoff reported to prison in western Maryland, Wednesday. He was convicted of federal charges to using expensive gifts, campaign donations and exotic trips to win political influence.
Abramoft, who parlayed campaign donations and expensive gifts into political influence from Congress to the White House, reported to a Maryland prison where he will earn no more than 40 cents an hour for assigned jobs.
Shortly before dawn, he sent an e-mail to friends thanking them for standing by him. He then set out for prison, leaving behind a city shaken by his scandal. A congressman has admitted corruption, a Bush administration official was convicted of lying. Republicans were driven from office and several aides have pleaded guilty.
"This nightmare has gone on for almost three years so far and I expect we are not even half way through." Abramoff wrote.
He will serve a six-year sentence
for a fraudulent Florida casino deal He is also awaiting sentencing in a Capitol Hill public corruption case in which he also is the star witness.
"Unfortunately, things are going to get worse (starting today no doubt) before they get better, but I am confident that ultimately the turmoil will subside and we will have our lives back," Abramoff wrote.
The message, described by Abramoff as "my last e-mail for
a while," was provided to The Associated Press by one his correspondents, who asked to remain anonymous.
Abramoff, inmate No. 27593-112, was delivered to prison out of sight of reporters and camera crews. He will be held at a 334-bed, minimum-security prison camp.
From prison, Abramoff is to continue cooperating with the Justice Department, helping explain how he manipulated government decisions and who else was involved. The case has already led to the conviction of former Bush administration official David Safavian and guilty pleas from former Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, and several congressional aides.
Like all federal prisoners, Abramoff will be required to have a prison job Unlike his previous work, which involved chartering jets for exotic golf excursions, he will earn between 12 cents and 40 cents an hour. New inmates typically start in lower-paying food service jobs and move up to more desirable jobs, said Stephen Finger, the prison's executive assistant.
Abramoff will share a dorm with five inmates, many of whom are drug offenders. Finger added.
WORKOUT (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
times a week and that alternating the muscles worked so that the same area wasn't worked more than twice a week was a good plan.
"If you want a body that's functional for athletics you shouldn't overtrain. You exhaust yourself and you lose just as much muscle as you might gain." Creed said.
she thought a majority of students wouldn't face such a problem if they varied the volume and intensity of their workouts.
Andrea Hudy, associate director of strength conditioning for the Athletics Department, said that while it was possible to overtrain and experience symptoms such as fatigue, lack of appetite or sleep,
"In general, if someone is going to come back two to three times a day, they can change the intensity of their workout while balancing their body's needs," Hudy said.
As Creed leaned against the staff desk surveying the many people on various machines running, lifting and sweating through the afternoon, he said he had been guilty of similar
behavior his freshman year: lifting weights daily with his roommate until he got wise and changed his routine.
"Diet and rest are the most important things." Creed said. "Most people in college don't get enough rest as it is."

Trim winter break, observe all holidays
Last week, the post offices were closed and government buildings shut down while many Americans paid tribute to our men and women in the armed forces on Veterans Day. Yet students and faculty, some of whom are veterans themselves, had to go to class on Friday
because the University does not give students the day off.
The University paid tribute to our veterans on Saturday but failed to observe the federal holiday on Friday. It's time the Kansas Board of Education look at observing federal holidays such as Veterans Day and
President's Day. Not only could students use more three-day breaks, but it's also important to remember the meanings behind these holidays, especially Veterans Day.
Here's a suggestion for the decision makers: Look at the University's ridiculously long
winter break. Students can't wait to get back on campus after more than a month away from school. Instead of giving students 34 days for break, let's substitute a couple of these day to observe the federal holidays.
We already observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and much
like the events that remember this powerful leader, we too should remember our nation's veterans and those in active service. A University that continues to remember its veterans with such iconic structures as the Campanile, which is dedicated to World War II veterans.
and Memorial Stadium, which is dedicated to World War I veterans, should take time out to remember our fellow Jayhawks who made the ultimate sacrifice.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
As football rivalry game nears, true colors show
That was me wearing the K-State gear at the KU-Oklahoma State football game a few weeks ago, the lone K-Stater in the entire stadium. My girlfriend is a proud KU fan, and yes, she wanted me to wear something blue or red. Sorry, but I can't do that.
I am not a bad person. You may not know it, but I'm a KU grad with a masters' degree in health services administration. My son and I lived at Stauffer Place. I joined the KU Marching Band, but backed out because the Saturday morning rehearsals meant I would not get to see him play soccer. We attended church at the St. Lawrence Center, where my son was one of the altar boys for the first mass. I worked part-time at McDonald's my first year (not so much fun), and during my final year I worked at SUA (a
lot of fun). Yes, we were very happy when the University won the NCAA men's basketball championship the year after I graduated.
My son (sorry, another K-State grad) and I have a lot of good memories of KU. You're our No. 2 school, but only because K-State gave us great memories before our time with you even existed.
This weekend I will be one of the many purple K-State fans in the stadium. Some of us will have ties to KU or Lawrence, but hey, we support K-State. Life is rough. I know that rivalry between the two schools is good, and I know we'll see a great game. It's what makes college football Saturdays great.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Sporting events no longer family-friendly
Watching Friday Night Lights for probably the 100th time, I realized high school sports are probably the last pure form of athletics left in this country.
Going to big-time sporting events in the new millennium means dealing with new problems. It means paying an increasing amount of money for tickets and concessions. It means dealing with traffic to and from the venue. Worst of all, it also means being subjected to obscenities and occasional violence, mostly because of alcohol.
Professional franchises and colleges alike have attempted to regulate inappropriate fan behavior at games. Just this year, according to the Boston Globe, Boston University made it illegal for fans to curse, or make sexist or racist comments at its hockey, soccer and basketball games. If fans do so, they will be ejected from the arena. If the fans continue the behavior at future games, they will be permanently banned.
Sadly, games are no longer for families. Not only is it not feasible financially for an entire family to attend its favorite team's games, with the average ticket in the National
Football League costing nearly $60 in 2005, but it also is not smart. I do not plan to take my children to major sporting events because I can only imagine what they will repeat on the way home. The days of chanting "Go team" are gone, and the practice of yelling obscenities at the opposition is now the norm.
The University of Maryland, among other public universities, has attempted to regulate obscenities as well, but has had little success eliminating them. In 2001, Maryland students threw water bottles, batteries and other objects at fans and parents of the Duke University men's basketball team. The actions caused injuries to numerous Duke fans and resulted in formal apologies from Maryland's president and men's basketball coach.
Maryland is a school of more than 30,000 students, but the action of just a few embarrassed the alumni and the other students who did not play a part in the situation. According to Athletics Director Debbie Yow, the actions were witnessed on television, as were audible sounds of students chanting "F--- Duke." The fans at Maryland subjected innocent spectators and television viewers to offensive behavior.
The cursing and barbaric behavior now seems part of the game and is embraced by fans. The student section at Allen Fieldhouse is considered one of the loudest and most respected in the country, but the walls of the venue often reverberate with the chant of "bulls--t" after a referee's call clashes with student opinion.
With alcohol often consumed by fans before college games, and at professional events during, it is likely the largest contributing factor to violence and obscenities. Despite this, there is no way that professional stadiums are going to stop serving it. Why would they, when they can charge six, seven or eight dollars for a drink, knowing that drunken patrons will pay it? They have a financial incentive to make alcohol available for purchase.
Fights between opposing fans are commonplace at NFL games, both in the stadium and in the parking lot. When excessive amounts of alcohol are present and consumed by fan for hours at a time, before, during and after a sporting event, it is bound to cause problems.
The violence and obscenities
need to stop. Alcohol needs to be regulated inside arenas. No longer should alcohol be sold until the end of the third quarter at NFL games. Last season, according to *NFL.com*, the New York Jets did not serve alcohol during a Monday night game against the New England Patriots. This came nearly a month after a man was stabbed in a rest room and a police officer broke his leg attempting to quell a drunken fight. The ban helped make spectators safer, and those fans were likely subjected to fewer obscenities
Attending sporting events as a child gave me some of my fondest memories. However, in the past few years, it has become increasingly offensive and oftentimes disgusting to witness. Things need to change. Fans need to understand the message they are sending to children and the violence that they are causing. Until that happens, the cursing and violence will continue to be a part of the game, and high school athletics will be the only events that are pure.

'Hawks lose again, this time to Bears
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team could not muster any offense last night. The team fell to Baylor in three games.
Kansas had a negative hitting efficiency in the first two games, -.118 and -.034, and hit just .167 in the final game. For the match, it was a seasonlow .010.
"We keep getting back to that 'E' word: execution," coach Ray Bechard said.
He said the team had shown the effort, but at this point in the season, execution was more important than effort.
Baylor swept Kansas at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas by scores of 30-15, 30-18 and 30-24. With the loss, the Jayhawks, who have lost their last seven, fall to 10-16 overall and 3-14 Big 12, while the Bears improve to 18-12 and 6-11.
The Jayhawks swept the Bears earlier this season, but Kansas was shorthanded last night, because Emily Brown, junior right side hitter, did not play. Brown injured her foot on Monday during practice. She started all 86 previous games of her career matches at Kansas. Bechard said Brown was day-to-day and the team was hopeful she would be ready for Saturday's match against Missouri.
Brown, a team captain, has been the second-leading player in kills, behind Jana Correa, senior outside hitter. Correa, who has been the Jayhawks' offensive leader all season, could not get anything going against a stiff Baylor defense. She had six kills with 11 errors in the match.
The Jayhawks committed 26 errors
with just 27 kills. By comparison, the Bears had 11 errors with 45 kills. The Bears also out-blocked the Jayhawks, 10-2.
The Jayhawks have yet to win a conference game on the road this season. They have one opportunity left against Kansas State on Nov. 25. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats earlier this season in Lawrence.
Baylor used a six-point run to take an 11-6 advantage during the first game. The Jayhawks committed a team-high 11 errors with just seven kills, and the Bears ran away with the first game by 15. In game two, the Bears went on an eight-point run to lead Kansas 22-10. Baylor stayed on a roll as they took the game by 12. The Bears had a match-high 467 hitting efficiency with 17 kills and three errors.
Down by two games, Kansas did not give up in game three. Trailing by seven, 21-14, the Jayhawks battled
back to a two-point deficit, 25-23. Baylor, though, was too much to handle for Kansas late in the game. Baylor won by six.
Although the team has struggled, Bechard said the team should be motivated for the final three matches against Missouri (15-11, 9-8), Nebraska (24-1, 16-1) and Kansas State (10-17, 2-15).
"Playing at Kansas, I can't think of three teams you'd rather face," he said.
The Jayhawks take on the Tigers at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Kansas and Missouri are currently tied, 4-4, in the 2006-07 Border Showdown, which spans all sports.

NEW YORK — Naomi Campbell returned to court again as her lawyer and a Manhattan prosecutor tried unsuccessfully to cut a deal on charges that she threw a cell phone at her maid over a pair of missing jeans.
Her lawyer, David Breitbart, said he was considering a plea offer from the Manhattan district attorney's office but declined to provide details. Campbell, who didn't speak with
"We're still in the process of working out a possible disposition," said Assistant District Attorney Shanda strain at a short hearing Wednesday for the 36-year-old supermodel. Campbell is due back in court Jan. 16.
reporters after the hearing, showed up for court in a form-fitting dark gray dress and a black cloth jacket, with 3-inch heels.
Breitbart told reporters Campbell hoped to reach an agreement that would only require community service. The British catwalker could face up to seven years in prison and deportation if convicted on the assault charge.
The defense attorney also said he didn't want Campbell in a situation like '80s pop star Boy George, who was followed by reporters when he did community service for the Sanitation Department earlier this year.
Campbell was accused of hitting Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with a cell phone in the model's
Manhattan apartment. Scolavino was treated for a head injury after the incident.
On Tuesday, Campbell was sued by another former maid who says the model assaulted her while calling her a dumb Romanian. The lawsuit by Gaby Gibson calls Campbell a "violent super-bigot."
Gibson, who worked for Campbell from November 2005 though January 2006, says Campbell hit her, called her names and threatened to charge her with theft after being unable to find a pair of designer jeans.
"I'm so frustrated that a lawyer would use terms like that," Breitbart said about the bigot remark. "I thought we learned in law school not to call people names."

Jayhawks Darnell Jackson, Sherron Collins, and Rodrick Stewart hang their heads as Wednesday night's game comes to a close. Unable to keep up with Oral Roberts' shooting, Kansas lost 78-71.
Green was just shy of a tripledouble with 20 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists.
"Any NBA scout would tell you Caleb Green was the best player in the game," said Kansas coach Bill Self.
Vealy, who was 1-for-13 from a 2-point range in his career
veally, who was three-point range coming into the game, went off, nailing seven of eight three-point attempts on his way to a 22-point night.
"We knew No. 10 was good, but we did not know he was that good," Robinson said.
"If you'd told us before the game that bed so for-8

This team needs to climb a mountain. It can't start there. It's not mature, hungry and tough enough vet
Sophomore guard Brandon Rush, who led Kansas to victory in its season opener, could never get on track. He didn't score his first point of the game until he sank a free throw at the 5:07 mark in the first half and didn't make his first field
goal until the 4:32 mark. He tried to get himself going, but ended the night shooting 5-for-14.
BILL SELF Coach
Sophomore forward Julian Wright grabbed 12 rebounds, but was careless with the ball, appearing to be forcing shots and passes. Win his points.
"Rush never got into the game,"
Self said. "And Julian never got
into the game. His stats say he got rebounds, but he never got into the game."
Overshadowed in the loss was a stellar performance by freshman forward Darrell Arthur. Coming off the bench, he played beyond his years. Arthur led the Jayhawks in scoring with 22 and rebounded five times.
With so few bright spots, the most the fayhawks can do is learn from this game and, perhaps, learn to pay heed to their coach's warnings.
"This team needs to climb a mountain. It can't start there," Self said. "It's not mature, hungry and tough enough yet. They need to climb it. Now there's no question that it will be more of a climb now since we got our butts kicked today."

Oral Roberts forward shines Green, Vealy punish Jayhawks inside paint, beyond arc
0 ORU 1 KANSAS 3
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
lared Gah/KANSAN
Julian Wright, sophomore forward, blocks a shot by Oral Roberts' Ken Tutt during the first half of Wednesday night's game in Allen Fieldhouse. Wright's defensive play totaled five blocks, nine rebounds, and two steals.
There's no way he could have imagined the biggest victory in school history, a 78-71 upset of No. 3 Kansas.
Caleb Green dreamed of playing at Allen Fieldhouse, but he had no idea it would turn out like this.
It certainly is.
"I told him a while ago, back when Wayne Simien was here," Green said about Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton. "I said I just thought it'd be nice to come play those guys. Oh man, this is a big win for the University."
While Green, who is ranked among the nation's top power forwards, was expected to do some damage because of Kansas' lack of depth in the paint, Marchhello Vealy's performance surprised even Sutton.
Entering the game, Vealy had made just one three pointer in his career and had a career-high of just 12 points. Those records were destroyed Wednesday night.
Vealy finished with 22 points, including a 7-of-8 performance from the three point line.
One of the keys for Vealy was the fact that he was wide open for most of the night. With the Jayhawks' defense concerned with stopping Green, Vealy was left open on the wing.
the young season, finishing with 20 points, including 11 points in the second half.
"I wasn't paying attention," he said. "I was just shooting the ball. Every time I caught it, they all kept telling me to shoot."
Kansas double teamed Green on most plays, but he found ways to escape the defense and get open outside. The 6-foot-8 Green nailed two three pointers, tying his career high. Green had his best night of
He did. And Vealy shot lights-out all night.
"In the scouting report, we went over that he was a good shooter, but we did not think he was a shooter like that," Kansas' Brandon Rush said.
"Caleb was unbelievable," Sutton said. "He was terrific. He was forced to face double teams and go against big strong guys. He had some great shots, but I thought his passing was unbelievable as well."
Green had his way in the paint without forward Sasha Kaun in the lineup because of a knee injury. Kansas struggled to contain Green, especially in the second half when Green nailed several turnaround shots.
In pregame warm-ups and in the
moments before the opening tip-off,
Valey admitted to being nervous.
The big crowd and large arena were like nothing he'd experienced before.
But that didn't matter Wednesday night.
"We wanted to come out and shock the world." Vealy said.
"And we did it."

Kansas State overachieving Despite Texas victory, Kansas State will not overlook Kansas on Saturday
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
KANSAN COLUMNIST
RCOLAIANNI@KANSAN.COM
More than a month ago, I never thought I would be writing this column. After Kansas State lost to Baylor 17-3, the Wildcats had reached rock bottom.
Coach Ron Prince appeared to have alienated his starting quarterback, Dylan Meier, when he told the media before he told Meier that true freshman Josh Freeman would be the starter from that point forward. The coach was getting nothing out of his offense and I thought a lot of it had to do with coaching.
I envisioned a disastrous season to continue for the Wildcats, that they would not win another game and would finish last in the Big 12 North, as expected. I thought Prince would not be able to return the Wildcats to their glory days of the late '90s under Bill Snyder.
I was wrong, and Prince should be the Bie 12 coach of the year.
Prince has turned the Wildcats
around and has won four of the past six games, which moved Kansas State into second place in the North. Second place in the North — even being in the top half of the division — is miraculous for a team that looked average at the beginning of the season and had few offensive playmakers.
Kansas State has already qualified for a bowl game, and a victory against Kansas would be the Wildcats' eighth of the season, an amazing feat considering how poorly the team played at the start of the year. No one expected Kansas State to even qualify for a bowl game and viewed this season as a building year. Prince is the reason for Kansas State's success, and I never thought that would be the case.
Granted, Kansas State got a gift against Texas last week when Texas' star quarterback, Colt McCoy, went down on Texas' first possession of the game. However, the Wildcats still made more plays than the Longhorns throughout the game. The Wildcats performed well on special teams. They executed numerous trick plays to perfection. Prince executed a great game plan.
players in conference play this season and should be the conference's coach of the year.
Some think Kansas State will have a letdown this week against Kansas because of its dramatic victory against Texas last week. I do not think that's possible in a rivalry game. Kansas State may have shown a lot of its offense to Kansas coach Mark Mangino, but the Wildcats won't underestimate the Jayhawks.
Prince has gotten more out of his
Kansas State has had this game circled on the calendar for the entire season and Prince will have his team ready. A month ago, Kansas probably thought its game against Kansas State was almost a guaranteed victory. Now that Kansas State has improved, the game should be a close, Kansas is a two-point favorite, but I honestly have no idea who to pick on Saturday.
Prince has done the best job in the conference. Better than Guy Morriss at Baylor or Mike Gundy at Oklahoma State. Prince has proven that he can coach at this level, and no one gave him a chance.

New Orleans Saints receiver Marques Colston breaks out of a tackle by Atlanta Falcons defender Kevin Mathis. Colston began the year as an unknown rookie but has emerged as a contender for the Rookie of the Year award because of his consistent play.

FANTASY FOOTBALL THURSDAY
Possibly lost in the shuffle of another unpredictable fantasy football season, a rookie wide receiver is leading the NFL in receiving yards. And if that isn't enough, he's tight-end eligible. Those used to three catches for 28 yards from their tight end spots each week now get an average of 14.3 points per game from New Orleans' Marques Colston.
All this unexpected production coming from a tight end slot is like hiring a baby sitter who mows your lawn, cleans out your gutters and files your tax return.
Since the New Orleans Saints traded Donte Stallworth to the Eagles, Colston has been the model of consistency. He had just one game this season where he ended up with fewer than 10 fantasy points.
He has the reliability of a Honda Accord and the performance of a Maserati. At 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, he has excellent hands, great body control and deceptive speed. There is little this rookie can't do.
The more you think about it, the more Moss and Colston have in common. They are both 6-foot-4. They are both from Division I-AA colleges. And they were both passed over in the NFL Draft. Moss — a projected top-ten pick — slipped to 21st overall because of character problems he had in college. Colston wasn't drafted until the seventh round, after 32 other wide receivers were taken.
When you compare Colston's statistics to those of previous rookie wide receivers, only Randy Moss comes close. During Moss's rookie year with the Vikings, he had 69 catches for 1,313 yards and an incredible 17 touchdowns. Colston will better all of Randy's statistics except the number of touchdowns.
With all that they have in common, all Marques Colston needs to do is fail a few drug tests, alienate his coaching staff and moon an opposing team's crowd, and he will
be a mirror image of Moss.
From a fantasy football perspective, his statistics are even more staggering. Only Tony Gonzalez's 2004 season — 1,203 yards and nine touchdowns — and Antonio Gates' 2004 season — 964 yards and 13 touchdowns — come close to what Colston will achieve this year. As a rookie, he should already be inducted into the Fantasy Football Hall of Fame. Colston isn't just going to win the rookie of the year award, he's going to run away with it. He is on pace for 96 catches, 1,545 yards, and 12 touchdowns. And yet, he still doesn't get even 10 percent of the face time on SportsCenter as teammate Reggie
Bush.
Yes, Reggie Bush, who is averaging a measly 2.8 yards per carry this season. I suppose if Marques Colston had a Heisman Trophy, two national championships — one split — and a slew of endorsement deals, ESPN would give him a little more love.
But as it is, Colston will remain in the shadows of Reggie Bush, playing Ashlee Simpson to Bush's Jessica. Before long, though, those roles will be reversed.

Recent players mar Jayhawk reputation
BY MARK DENT
KANSAN COLUMNIST
MDENT@KANSAN.COM
A few weeks ago I was watching a rerun of the ESPN game show "2-Minute Drill." Jacque Vaughn, former Jayhawk and one of my all-time favorite basketball players, was one of the guest athletes.
As Vaughn asked the contestants questions about Kansas basketball, it brought me back to the mid '90s, when players like Vaughn finished opponents on the court then hurried home to finish their Calculus homework. Too bad it's not like that anymore.
Those days have disappeared like CJ Giles from an English class. The Giles situation is the latest and worst example of misbehavior in the Kansas basketball program. He arrived as a sure-fire NBA prospect, but by the time he was dismissed last Tuesday, his list of offenses left him a wrecked ATV and a couple of shakin' "crackers" short of being Ricky Clemons.
In a little more than two years, Giles missed class and his child-support payments, scored a basket for the other team, landed a few punches at the Moon Bar, stole the
Lindbergh baby and planned to make a third Deuce Bigalow.
OK, maybe he didn't do the last two, but Giles' bad behavior did alter the reputation of Kansas basketball. Other than Giles, only two players have been charged with crimes while still on the basketball team during the past 10 years: Lester Earl and J.R. Giddens. Giles has tied that mark in one month with his two criminal charges.
But hey, I can't just pick on Giles. He hasn't been the only one changing Kansas' image recently. Giddens, Rodrick Stewart, Darnell Jackson and Jeff Hawkins deserve credit for that too. Giddens instigated the bar fight that Giles was involved in. Stewart was assaulted outside of a nightclub last year, but didn't provoke the fight. Jackson accepted benefits from a booster. 'McHawkins' tried to leave the scene of an accident after a fender bender in the McDonald's drive-thru. Though his incident wasn't serious, Hawkins' choice illustrated how the Jayhawks aren't as well-behaved as they used to be.
Take a look at Vaughn. The guy practically read philosophy books while he sat on the bench. He finished his Kansas career as a two-time Academic All-American and 1997 Academic All-American of the Year. Plus, he was 1996 Big Eight Player of the Year and the school's assist-leader award is named after him.
Vaughn was just one of many players from the mid '90s to enhance the reputation of Kansas basketball. Jerod Haase earned a master's degree and wrote a book. Greg Ostertag donated a kidney. C.B. McGrath was a two-time Academic All Big 12 selection and earned a master's degree. Scott Pollard's only legal scuffle was when he broke several fashion ordinances by painting his nails.
Bill Self is a fabulous basketball coach, but the players in his tenure haven't lived up to the behavioral precedent set by Roy Williams. Williams had to dismiss one player — Sean Tunstall — in 15 years, and Self has already dismissed two players — Giles and Giddens — in four years. Although Williams recruited Giddens and Hawkins, their troubles started under Self's watch. This is an indication that Self isn't doing enough to prevent his players from making these mistakes.
This is not an attack on Self in any way. He's been under constant pressure to perform since he left Illinois for Kansas in 2003. Now is the time for Kansas to begin rehabilitating its image. Bill Self, make Kansas proud.

Defense targets KSU quarterback
1
David Zalubowski/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman has been named the Big 12 Conference's Offensive Player of the Week in back-to-back weeks for his performances against Colorado and No.4 Texas.
Kansas eager to face freshman starter
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Josh Freeman better watch out.
The thought of lining up against a freshman quarterback has Kansas' defense salivating.
Sure, he's been named the Big 12 Conference's Offensive Player of the Week for his performances against Colorado and Texas, but Kansas' defense thinks it can get into Freeman's head and make sure he winds up on the ground.
Just what do the Jayhawks plan to do to the Wildcats' starting quarterback?
“Put pressure on him, hit him a couple of times, frustrate him, give him that one good lick to let him know that hey, we're coming,” junior defensive tackle James McClinton said. “You're a freshman. Welcome to college football, baby.”
Freeman hasn't played like a freshman during the last three weeks.
weeks.
In his last three games — all victories — Freeman has completed more than 70 percent of his passes and thrown for an average of 227 yards and two touchdowns.
That's quite a difference from the quarterback who made his first start six games into the season. Less than a month ago, he struggled, predictably. In his first four Big 12 games
ably. in his first two tour games — the Wildcats won just one of those games — Freeman, a Kansas City, Mo., native, completed less than 40 percent of his passes, averaged only 177 yards and nearly two interceptions per game.
Freeman has improved during the last few weeks, and that's where the lahawk defense fits in.
Kansas' pass rush has gotten better, especially in the past three weeks. A lack of a consistent pass rush was part of the reason Kansas' secondary was being lit up by opposing quarterbacks earlier in the season.
bowl visits
Three bowl representatives will be at Memorial Stadium Saturday when Kansas welcomes Kansas State. Representatives from the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., the Texas Bowl In Houston and the Insight Bowl in Tempe. Ariz., will all be in attendance, according to the Kansas Athletics Department. All three bowls have contracts with the Big 12 Conference.
But the plan is simple against Freeman. Get pressure on him and make the quarterback throw the ball early. High or errant passes easily turn into turnovers.
"We have to worry about what we have to do, which is put pressure on him, stop the run and cause turnovers," McClinton said.
The other part about stopping Freeman comes with controlling the pocket. He's not exactly a running quarterback, but Freeman's mobility allows him to move the pocket to buy time for his receivers. That's where Freeman and the Wildcats were able to burn Texas last weekend. But when there's an open lane, he'll take a chance and run.
"He's not a guy with happy feet," defensive coordinator Bill Young said. "He tries to find his receivers, but once he decides to go, he'll go."

Deep rotation strengthens Jayhawks
BY CASE KEEFER
Following exhibition play, women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson said she would like to have 10 players in rotation.
She got her wish and then some when the Jayhawks defeated Seton Hall with 10 players, and when foul trouble and size mismatches forced Henrickson to use 11 players during the loss to

"She has proven that she is taking better shots and working to get deep," Henrickson said. "That will
be important for the growth of this team."
The Jayhawks' biggest concern in the front court will be keeping junior forward Taylor McIntosh out of foul trouble. McIntosh committed three fouls in both games during the weekend, which limited her minutes.
UMKC's leading scorer in its first game was junior guard Brittany Picconi. Picconi had 19 points, including four three-point shots. The Jayhawks gave up four three-point shots, two of which were uncontested, in the loss to Iowa.
The Jayhawks perimeter shooting is an area that must improve immediately. Guards Kohn, Shaquina Mosley, and LaChelda Jacobs hit only eight of 39 shots during the first two games and were two of 12 from three-point range.
As a team, Kansas is only shooting 35 percent. Henrickson said that she wasn't worried about the statistic and that she thought it could be easily improved.
Kansan sportswriter Case Keefer can be contacted at ckeefer@ kansan.com.
"We still want to be aggressive, but then make better decisions," she said. "It might just be the type of shots we take."

Self signs second recruit of season
Long-time Jayhawk fan commits to Kansas, fulfills dream
MEN'S BASKETBALL
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas added a second comer Wednesday when 6-foot-3 guard Tyrel Reed announced he would play college basketball for the layhawks.
Reed, from Burlington High School, which is south of Topeka gives coach Bill Self his second significant signing of the fall.
"I've been around a lot of good coaches and good programs and, in the end, I felt that KU was my
best bet," Reed said at a press conference in Burlington.
Although Reed waited until this week to choose a school, his father and high-school
Reed

coach, Stacy, said Tyrel hadn't been struggling with the decision.
"He wasn't as concerned about the signing as what most people would indicate," Stacy said. "He knew he had a chance to be a Javhawk for quite some time."
Tyrel also considered Oklahoma, Missouri, Missouri State and Stanford, but Kansas
After the first few days of the period passed without Kansas getting any wing players, Tyrel knew there would be an opening for him at Kansas and he wanted to commit.
was always at the top of his list. He just needed to see who Kansas signed during the early stages of the signing period.'
Scout.com has Tyrel rated as a four-star recruit on a five-star scale and ranked him as the 10th-best point guard in his class, but according to the Web site, he can play either guard spot. The Web site lists "Basketball IQ," "Intangibles," and "Perimeter Shot" as Tyrell's strengths. It states that Reed could use improvement on his mid-range shooting and physical strength.
"It's awesome," Tyrel said. "Words can't really describe it. It's been a dream of mine since I was a little kid."
Now that Tyrel has made up his mind, he and his father, are relieved that they can focus on the high-school season. After the season, Tyrel will begin to think about his future at Kansas.
"Ty just wants what's best for KU because, in the long run, he's been a Jayhawk fan for a long, long time," Stacy said. "At some

1956: KU wins despite fumbling six times
BY DREW DAVISON
Editor's note: This week, The University Daily Kansan looks back at four classic games between the Jayhawks and Wildcats.
Nov. 3,1956 Kansas 20, Kansas State 15
1956 Kansan headline — "Jayhawkers Overcome Tough K-State 20-15"
Before winning in Manhattan in 1956, the Jayhawks lost three straight to the Wildcats, including a 46-0 shutout the previous year in Lawrence.
ORAL ROBERTS 78 KANSAS 71
During that game, Kansas State fans rushed the field looking to tear down the goalposts after their team won. Angry KU students protected their turf and a brawl broke out between the two schools. It was the only victory Kansas had that day; the goalposts stood after the team lost.
A year later, the Jayhawks sought revenge, facing the Wildcats as a two-touchdown favorite.
But as the Kansan reminded students, "Odds are certainly no indication when these two bitter rivals tangle."
VEALY

LIBERTY

Kansas trailed 13-0 early in the game because of a severe case of fumble-tits. The Jayhawks lost six fumbles, but a strong defensive effort carried the Jayhawks to a five-point victory, 20-15.
"Kansas State was tackling the ball instead of the ball carriers," halfback Homer Floyd said after the game.
After solving the fumbling problems, Floyd took control of the Kansas offense. He rushed for 136 yards on 14 carries, including a 59-yard run on Kansas' clinching touchdown drive. It was the seventh-best individual performance for a jawhawk up to that point.
The Kansas defense held Kansas State to two scores and only one extra point. Kansas coach Chuck Mather said, "It was the best defense KU has shown since I started coaching here three years ago."
The Wildcats scored their other two points on a safety.
Jayhawk football fans could not watch the game live because it was in Manhattan, so the KU quarterback club had a watch party, running an advertisement in the Kansan encouraging students to be at the Union to see "KU-K-State film" at 8 p.m. the following Wednesday.
Kansas went on a 10-year winning streak after that game. In 1966, the two teams tied. The Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks in 1969, their first victory since 1955.
Tomorrow, the Kansan looks back at a defining game in coach Mark Mangino's career; the Jayhawk victory two years ago in Lawrence that snapped an eleven-year losing streak.
Notes from 1956:
Freshman forward Darrell Arthur puts up a jumper during Wednesday night's game against Oral Roberts. Arthur led the team with 22 points, but it wasn't enough to stop the Golden Eagles' 78-71 victory.
The quarterback was Dave Preston.

No.3 Jayhawks stunned at home

The Jayhawks didn't believe it could happen. Most fans in attendance probably sauntered home in shock. But it happened.
"Coach has been stressing this, but believe it or not, we really didn't believe it," junior guard Russell Robinson said. "That's a coach's job, to tell us, 'Hey, you can lose this game,' and I don't think we really believed it."
Against an athletic and versatile Oral Roberts team, Kansas ran out of gas and lost 78-71.

named the best team in the country by "Sports illustrated," and will damage the Jawhawks' national ranking.
In the first half, Kansas had 14 turnovers to nine assists, while Oral Roberts had 10 turnovers to 11 assists. Oral Roberts turned Kansas' 19 turnovers in the game into 21 points, while Kansas managed just 15 points from turnovers.
"We let them get comfortable, and they started making big shots toward the
end of the game." Rush said. "That really ended it."
Mounted on top of Kansas' shortcomings were strong performances by Oral Roberts forwards Caleb Green and Marchello Vealy.
In the second half, Kansas' struggles switched to shooting. The Jayhawks attempted six three-point shots without connecting and made only five of 13 free throw attempts. This inability to make up ground with the clock stopped buried Kansas.

KU, KSU rivalry fuels athletic cultural jabs
BY C.J. MOORE
Don't be surprised if there's more tension in the stands than on the field this Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
For Kansas residents, this Saturday's meeting between Kansas and Kansas State is the bragging-rights game. The 'Sunflower Showdown' might not have a hostile moniker like the 'Border War,' but the intrastate rivalry is heated across the state of Kansas.
"It's not just big for us," said James McClinton, Kansas junior defensive tackle. "It's big for the school. It's big for the state."
D
Nathan Locke, Wakeeney freshman, grew up a Kansas fan because his dad attended the University of Kansas Medical Center. Locke was in the minority in Wakeeney, a small western-Kansas town along 1-70 west of Manhattan, where he said the Powercat ruled. Locke has former classmates making the drive to Lawrence this weekend.
It's a rivalry that splits many households and many towns. Many students in towns throughout Kansas don't know college students at any other school.
The University of Kansas is in Douglas County, the lone blue county in the state. Kansas State University just welcomed former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld, a staunch conservative, to speak at its campus. Kansas takes pride in its liberal arts program, while Kansas State is known for its agricultural program.
"We've been talking smack all these last few games," he said.
The rivalry holds a deeper significance for many Kansas residents than what takes place on the football field. The cultural differences between Manhattan and Lawrence intensify the barbs that bounce back and forth.
"I always make fun of them and tell them we're better, tell them they're a bunch of farmers." Corey Harrison, Wichita freshman, said about his friends at Kansas State.
After years of having nothing to argue about other than academics and low-blow cultural jabs, the rivalry on the field is starting to mean something again. Kansas State dominated the meetings under Bill Snyder throughout the 1990s and into

My boyfriend's family lives at Lake of the Forest, a private lake community outside of Lawrence. Every Fourth of July,the lake hosts an old-fashioned day of fun, complete with frog-jumping contests, a greased watermelon competition and the tin man race.
The tin man is a mini-triathlon. Some crazy people do it themselves, but most people get a team of three together and split up the legs of the race — swimming across the lake, biking around the lake and running around the lake. Children as young as 12 compete against 50-year-old men, and the entire lake community cheers on the competitors.
My best friend swam, my boyfriend ran, his dad biked, and I cheered them on from the sidelines as loudly as I could.

GET SOME BALLS
HEALTH

Use fitness balls to exercise without busting your own

If Carey Detrick gets bored when she's in front of the computer, she can always bounce around the room like a child, springing about on a jumping ball. Detrick, a personal trainer at Lawrence Athletic Club, 3201 Mesa Way, after hunching over in front the computer, noticed her spine turning into the shape of the letter C. She improved her posture and got rid of neck pain by replacing her swiveling office chair with a big fitness ball.
These balls — also known as Swiss, ab, stability and core balls, among other names — were designed for abdominal work. Detrick says.Nowadays,though,you can do anything on them.They can replace a bench,and you can add resistance to customize a variety of workouts. Even if you don't like going to the gym,for around $20,you can work out your whole body at home with a fitness ball.
Find your core
A strong body starts with a strong core. The core is the middle of your body, which goes from the bottom of your rib cage to the top of your hips. The deep, internal muscles of your stomach and back balance the rest of your body during everyday activities and especially during workouts, says Jenny Prohaska, personal trainer at the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
You don't usually train core muscles during routine exercises unless you're using a fitness ball or another balance-foring apparatus like balancing boards or pads. Day-to-day movements don't require a lot of balance, Prohaska says. If core muscles are strong, you can be sure that you're doing other exercises
correctly. Whether you're squatting 300 pounds or just doing sit-ups, your workout is more effective when your core is strong, Prohaska says.
Badass asses and abs
Fitness balls are commonly used for crunches at the recreation center. Greg Bouzianis, Silver Lake senior, works his abs by doing crunches on a ball about three times a week. This kind of exercise is easier on his back than traditional crunches, he says.
To do this simple crunch, position the middle of your back on a fitness ball, letting your shoulders hang off. As you crunch up, blow out air and try to push your belly button through your back, Prohaska says. "Think about making your waist as tiny as possible," Prohaska says. Find a point on the ceiling to focus on while you are crunching up, press towards it and try not to bend your spine and curl up. Prohaska says.
What works for you
You can use your balls to do just about any exercise from crunches to squats, but it's important to think of an exercise ball as a workout accessory. It's something that you can add into your workout, like weights or a medicine ball, say David Pfeuffer, athletic trainer at Neu Physical Therapy, 1305 Wakarusa Drive. He also suggests using a ball that is appropriate for your weight and height. Fitness balls come in different sizes, and most balls tell who they made for, based on how tall you are. SuperTarget, 3201 Iowa St., sells fitness balls for $12.
Paul Shipley, Olathe senior, does push-ups while balancing on medicine balls at the Student Recreation Center.
You want to put yourself in the
best position to make the exercise beneficial for your body, Pfeuffer says.
Anyone can use a ball, whether you're an experienced weight lifter or just want to tone up. Nate Burns, personal trainer at the recreation center and Topeka junior, uses an exercise ball for different types of training because it keeps his workout flowing. Fitness balls can help tone arms, legs, abs, back and even your butt.
If you're trying to make a significant change in your body, you have to do some cardio. You should do at least 35 minutes of cardio most days of the week to actually lose body fat and see a difference, Prohaska says. To get into a workout routine, find a schedule that fits with your lifestyle and exercises that are fun for you to do, Detrick says.
Balls out
The holidays are around the corner, giving you plenty of opportunities to bulk up from fatty portions of pie and Christmas cookies. If you're looking to keep the wintertime inner tube away from your midsection, start working on your core. Unless you're adding resistance, like a weighted medicine ball or regular dumbbells with an exercise ball, these balls are mainly for tone instead of building muscle, Prohaska says. If you start working now, you can tone your own chiseled abs sooner than spring break.

Lauren Airey
Year: 2005
Year: 2005
Hometown: Overland Park
Degrees: Journalism and Political Science
Back in the day: Airey interned with Congressman Dennis Moore in Washington D.C. during her last semester at KU. She was the president of Pj Beta Phi sorority and worked for the Lawrence Journal-World, The University Daily Kansan and the Jayhawker yearbook.The writing and research skills she earned studying journalism have been helpful, she says. Although her political science classes were interesting, they didn't prepare her for real-life situations.
Today: As a public policy assistant at the American Farm Bureau Federation, Airey sees the practical side of political science. She works with the executive director of public policy and lobbyists to help projects that are on the table. The FB.a grassroots organization, lobbies on behalf of farming
and ranching families on the issues of estate tax, immigration, international trade negotiations and many others. The FB is a top 25 lobbying group in D.C., Airey says. She also does research for the FB and sends out an informational daily public policy bulletin. She likes the job because it provides a balance between policy and politics, and it's always changing. "It's fun to see policy theories acted out," Airey says. "I really like working for an association instead of a corporation."
Lawrence love: The Kansas connection in D.C. is a lot stronger than she expected, she says. When she first moved, KU professors helped connect her to students and older alumni in the area. She will go watch a game at a bar on Capital Hill and there will be other KU fans there, she says. Airyre was in Lawrence for Homecoming this year. She likes the urban D.C. area, but she misses being able to walk down Massachusetts Street. She also misses the familiarity of Lawrence, like knowing which

LIFE IN THE UNDERGROUND
Armed with an uncanny ability to make people smile,
Melissa Jackson does what she can to break the monotony in The Underground.
by Frank Tankard
When there's a lull in the line and Melissa Jackson is in full force — and she's usually in full force — she waits nervously behind her register with her hands on her hips,
staring down the ambling lunchgoers.
She hopes they'll pick her register, the one on the north end of the row in The Underground food court in Wescow Hall.
For Jackson, a steward of liveliness in a monotonous world, a lunchtime transaction is a simple and happy thing.
Here comes a guy in a red shirt. He slides his tray onto the counter and she scans his card.
DON'T MISUNDERSTAND
SHE'S NOT JUST A "HAVE
A NICE" DAY, WARM SMILE,
BEST-PART-OF-WAKING-UP-
IS-FOLGERS-IN-YOUR-CUP
PERSON. SHE'S KIND
OF WEIRD.
"Have a stupendous day," she says, finishing the transaction.
He walks off, a smile remaining on his face for a few seconds before fading away.
"Why not?" she says. She pumps her fists and looks him in the eye, "Yeah! Yeah!"
His face brightens and he laughs."Stupendous?"
Melissa Jackson, Beloit junior, has been many things: a lonely cop's kid, a mama's girl, a small-town girl, a vegetarian. She's had a lip ring and now wears a nose
ring; she's had pink hair but now is a natural blonde.
At The Undergroud, the most bustling place on the KU campus at lunchtime — a place full of
PHOTO/JARED GAB
cards being swiped, change being made, long lines being stood in and people, people everywhere — she has adopted another role; she makes people smile, even if
only for a few seconds.
Don't misunderstand — she's not just a "have a nice" day, warm smile, best-part-of-waking-up-is-Folgers-in-your-cup person.She's kind of weird.It's the sort of stuff that doesn't translate to paper, but she tells customers like "What's on your pizza? I find that kind of odd," and "Six and three quarters please" and "Do I have to give you a receipt?"She's abrasive, in a fun way, she says.
And people recognize her for it. All the time. When she walks through campus or rides the bus or on the rare occasions when she goes out on the weekend, people say, "Hey, you're that girl who told me to 'have a groovy day.'" That's her trademark saying.
Is it enough to make a difference in a sea of sameness?
给新课
Let us turn our attention momentarily tothemathematical study of monotonic function.
More specifically, let's look at some statements pulled severely out of context from online encyclopedias and Berkeley's Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Web site:
A monotonic function is either entirely non-increasing or non-decreasing. A monotonic function preserves the order. A monotonic function never recants.
When plotted, a monotonic function can look like this:
---
Now perhaps you understand what Jackson is up against. A monotonic function never recants. Never.
So what does Jackson bring to the fight? Let us look to her past.
"She didn't really fit in in Beloit, Kansas," her mom, Vicki,
says, "because she walked to a beat of a different drum."
She was probably the first person in Beloit, a town of fewer than 4,000 people in north-central Kansas, to dye her hair pink, Vicki says, and probably the first to ask about vegetarian options for the school lunch menu (now she orders her veggie wrap from The Underground with a slice of turkey on top).
She got good grades and waited tables at a restaurant called Plum Creek, where she started to develop her knack for getting a rise out of customers.
She didn't go out on the weekends to party with the other kids. Her father was a policeman, and she was labeled a narc. She stayed at home and read Ayn Rand. Her mom was her best friend. In fact, she didn't receive a birthday present from a non-family member until freshman year of college when she received a gift from a friend at Watkins Scholarship Hall. This made her cry.
She once reconnected her father with his roommate from his football-playing days at Kansas State, whom she got to know in one of her conversations at the restaurant.
"Maybe it's because of spirits and angels," her mom hypothesizes. "She's in tune
with them and these things happen."
Within the doors of The Underground, where she has worked since it opened her freshman year, Jackson says strange things to people she doesn't now. But outside of those doors, she is a shy girl who keeps her room organized, washes the dishes regularly, doesn't fall behind on her homework and checks up on her roommate.
"She is a very complex person," says her roommate, Lauren Goger, Newton junior, who also works at The Underground.
When plotted, Melissa Jackson might look like this:
王
Armed with just a few seconds and a cash register, Jackson fights the mundane with what her supervisor, Andrea Michel-Cox, calls the "six-second conversation."
She studies her customers, noticing when a guy in a navy jacket shows up later than normal to buy his daily doughnut, or
when a girl buys soup instead of Chick-fil-A. She connects with them in small ways.
She has regulars, like Brittany Williams, New Orleans freshman, who pick her line every time.
"She's my favorite," Williams says. "She's so nice. She starts conversations with you."
And every day she connects with countless strangers who trudge through a busy lunch line and, for the first time, run into the weird girl in The Underground.
"She's beautiful," Robert Hemmelgarn, Columbia, Mo, senior, said after Jackson told him to "have a groovy day" when he went through her line for the first time last week.
For a moment, monotony is broken. Is it enough to make a difference in a sea of sameness?
"Honestly, it's just me trying to reach a part of them that's trying to shrug off a bad test or shrug off the bad weather," she says. "It seems like everyone is just kind of walking from one place to another and they don't have that human interaction."
"I think the crutch I rely on is that people will interact out of silliness, to have that interaction for no reason other than just to have it — no ulterior motive, no strings attached. Just two people wanting to smile for a minute and say, 'Hey.'"

TRY A TRIATHLON
Swimming, biking and running have never been so much fun.
by Erika Bentson
With the summer sun burning down and her stomach churning itself into knots, Allison Kapsner, Minneapolis Minn., junior, wondered what the hell she had gotten herself into. She
stood in a line,
single file with her
fellow triathletes
and waited for
her turn, hoping
she wouldn't get
kicked too much
swimming across
the lake.
What if I get lost?
What if I can't find my bike when I'm done swimming?
Should I eat a Powerbar? Maybe I should drink some water. But will I just puke it back up?
TRAIN WITH THIS WORKOUT
- Swim 20 laps in 25-meter pool, or 10 in a 50-meter pool, any stroke, taking 45 seconds of rest in between.
It wasn't until an hour later — when she was finishing the 15-mile bike
- Bike 30 minutes.
- Run a minute, walk a minute.
Repeat five times.
bike a few times, she recognized it and rode off in a mist of lake water flinging from other riders' wheels.
- Gradually work up within 12 weeks to swim 500 meters, bike for 11 to 15 miles and run 3.1 miles
When it was finally her turn, she raced to the edge of the lake. As she dashed into the murky lake water, Kapsner knew she was going to be fine. All she had to do was keep going.
The half-mile swim across the lake wasn't painful, and she finished in 13 minutes. To her surprise she smacked limbs with her fellow swimmers only a few times. Half coughing, half adrenaline-induced giggling, she jogged out of the lake and searched for her bike. Some bikes had ribbons or balloons tied to them so they could be picked out easily from the group. Unfortunately, Kapsner didn't know about this trick. After she passed her
Source: Gale Bernhardt, 2004 Olympic triathlon coach
ride — that Kapsner began to feel the burn from competing in a triathlon.
She ditched her bike and started the sweaty, 3.2-mile run. By then, it was noon, with no clouds in the sky. Kapsner was no longer excited about the run she had to finish. As her noodly arms and legs swung about, she started talking to the people on the sidelines to
keep her mind off how tired she was.
"Mom! I want a cheeseburger," Kapsner yelled as she passed her family.
Every minute or so, she would pass people handing her water or Powerbars, but a fear of vomiting made her swish the water around her mouth and spit it out. Two hours after her run into the lake, she stretched past the finish line and collapsed onto the grass. By then she had sworn off competing in future triathlons or any other strenuous physical activity in her near future.
But the next day, when her achy muscles had loosened up, she felt proud of the triathlon she had
completed and liked the feeling of accomplishment.
Each year participants run, bike and swim in dozens of triathlons in Kansas alone between February and October. Competitors are men and women, young and old. Last July, Dustin Elliot finished one at Lonestar Lake, 11 miles southwest of Lawrence. The Olathe senior started competing in triathlons in the spring of 2005 because he wanted a personal challenge. Since then, triathlons have become a hobby for him. Everyone has something that gets them going, for some it's art or music, he says. But for him, it's competing. With winter is approaching, start training to compete in a triathlon now, and get fit for a race in the spring.
The little sprint
Last summer, Kapsner trained for and competed in a sprint triathlon in Minneapolis, Minn. Don't let the name fool you; you don't have to sprint through the race. A sprint triathlon is the shortest of the four basic types of triathlons. Although distances differ depending on local geography, sprint races include a swim of about 500 yards, which is about 20 laps in a pool. After the swim, participants bike between 11 and 16 miles and finish with a five-kilometer run, which is a little more than three miles.
Even these shorter triathlons are endurance events and take anywhere from one to two hours to complete, says Mike Mullane, triathlete and Web
site forum administrator of www. beginnertriathlete.com. "That's one to two hours of hard racing, which is tough," he says."Completing a triathlon builds mental toughness. I've finished six-hour races in 95-degree heat, and when I'm having a tough day at work I can think back to that and use it as inspiration."
Of Olympic proportions
The step up from sprint is the Olympic or international distance — the event raced in the Olympics. The international race includes a 0.9-mile swim (80 laps in a pool), a 24.8 miles on a bike and a 6.2-mile run. These distances are measured differently than other triathlons because they are standard internationally and use the metric system as measurement, says Gale Bernhardt, 2004 United States Olympic triathon coach.
Once you start doing triathlons, it's easy to work up, says Danny Hoyt, Omaha junior. He has competed in international distance triathlons the past two summers. He prefers the longer distance because it allows him to get into each leg of the race. After a certain point, Hoyt's body loosens up and he feels stronger pacing himself, he says.
Half iron, but definitely not half ass
A step up from that race, which takes Olympians no less than two hours to finish, is the half iron distance. A 1.2-mile swim (100 laps) is followed by a 56-mile bike and a 13.1-mile run. This race is a personal favorite
of Bernhardt, she says, but not for all triathletes. Former college swimmer, Ashley Andreas, St. Louis senior, did a half-iron last year. Her experience was awful because it was so long, she says.
Tough up the iron man
The longest triathlon is the iron man. The race gets its name from the trademarked race production company called "Ironman." During this grueling race, athletes swim for 2.4 miles, bike for 112 miles and finish with a marathon, which is 26.2 miles. People train months just to run a marathon, but these athletes tack on a two-mile swim in rocky ocean waves, and then bike three times the distance from Lawrence to Kansas City and then they finish with a marathon.
This race, which you have to qualify for, must be completed in less than 17 hours, Bernhardt says. Usually they begin at 7 a.m., and competitors have until midnight to finish. There are also cutoff times within the race — participants have to swim swimming in less than two hours and 20 minutes and finish biking in five-and-a-half hours, then they have until midnight to run to the finish line.
Let's get physical
Like any physical activity, training and competing in triathlons helps maintain overall body fitness and cardiovascular health, Bernhardt says. When you're just running, or biking, you don't always get a good

upper-body workout, but throw swimming into the mix and you balance a full-body workout. Switching exercise regularly minimizes the risk of injury from repetitive movement on joints, Bernhardt says. It's harder to get bored because you get to switch up your workout every day, if you want to. You get a chance to get out of the gym and still get a good workout, Elliot, Olathe senior, prefers this because he doesn't like lifting weights, he says. He loves being outside running and biking because it gives him a chance to work out and clear his head.
Free your mind
If you're a student who gets stressed out, working out helps keep the stress mongers at bay, says Bernhardt, Olympic triathlon coach. Andreas, St. Louis senior, agrees that training helps keep stress from clouding her brain. She started doing triathlons three years ago and just returned this September from triathlon world championships in Switzerland. Swimming competitively was stressful for Andreas, and she used to freak out before races. But because triathlons are longer events, you stretch out the competition and can relax when you're doing it, she savs.
"I like doing races because
it gives me something to work out for," Andreas says. "I like staying in shape. It's hard during school, but when I have something to work toward, it gives me motivation."
When you're stressed out with a project, or just with life in general, it's good to know that you can complete something like a triathlon. Even though her half iron triathlon experience was painful, Andreas says that just knowing she can finish something like that helps her through tough times.
Choose some chow
Even if living with a keg- orator in the kitchen has left you with a less-than perfect
WHEN YOU'RE STRESSED OUT WITH A PROJECT, OR JUST LIFE IN GENERAL, IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN COMPLETE SOMETHING LIKE A TRIATHLON" ASHLEY ANDREAS, ST.LOUIS SENIOR
physique, you can train for a triathlon in less time than you might think. Although Bernhardt recommends taking at least 12 weeks to get ready, Kapsner did her first race with
barely any training.
You don't have to be a perfect eater and you can still have dessert when you're training for a race, Anoreas says. Eat a balanced diet, sticking to lean protein like chicken, fish, black beans or vegetables, says Colin Thomasset, Shawnee graduate student. Thomasset is in training now.
Hoyt tries to eat healthily when he's training because he can tell a difference in his performance. When he eats well,he is able to run longer and faster, without feeling lethargic he says.
Before a race, go carb-crazy so you have energy during the race. Stick to foods like pasta and potatoes,which are stocked

Just do it
Although, Kapsner's emotions ranged from nervousness and nausea to excitement and exhaustion, the Minneapolis, Minn., junior, has since competed in another triathlon and looks forward to more. She loves the feeling of accomplishing something of that level.
So if you're feeling sluggish and need something to strengthen your abs and your pride, try a triathlon. You too can swim, bike and test your limits while you're kicking your own ass.

I
I JUST STARTED DATING THIS GIRL. I LIKE HER, BUT I'M NOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OUR FUTURE. SHE SMOKES POT PRETTY MUCH EVER DAY, AND I DON'T EVER SMOKE ANYTHING. I'M JUST NOT SURE THAT OUR LIFESTYLES WILL MESH THAT WELL WHAT SHOULD I DO?
DAN, SOPHOMORE
Chris: It sounds like you're dwelling too much on the negatives of the stoner lifestyle,like the long,pointless conversations,the unprovoked bouts of laughter while watching horrible movies,the constant consumption of the potato chips and taquitos,the inevitable unemployment,the passing out in the middle of a make-out sessions,the chronic lack of basic hygiene,the sudden disappearance of your CDs and the annoying friends who are inexplicably always at your place asking
if they can "borrow" a tew bucks. Instead, you should focus on the positives, like... um... well... uh, a lack of short-term memory? Whatever you do, do not fall for the line about marijuana being a good contraceptive, a trick my mother constantly reminds me is the reason for my existence.
Niloofar: It sounds like you're a commitment-oriented man, so something temporary might not be your style. Unfortunately, that's all this will probably ever be. If you
don't smoke pot, and she's baked every day, there will be mutual frustration. You'll start to see her as lazy and worthless, and she'll start to see you as uptight. She'll even start lying about when she's blazed. Fights about the lying will ensue followed by the inevitable break-up. Spare yourself the heartbreak and dump this dope-smoker now before anyone becomes too emotionally invested. Luckily, the pot will probably prevent her from putting up much of a fight or making a scene.
THERE IS THIS REALLY PRETTY GIRL IN MY CLASS WHO I HAVE A CRUSH ON. I WANT TO ASK HER OUT, BUT THE PROBLEM IS, SHE'S MUSLIM AND WEARS A SCARF ON HER HEAD. IS IT OK FOR ME TO ASK HER? HOW SHOULD I APPROACH THIS?
JAKE SENIOR
JAKE, SENIOR
Chris: I'm not going near this one. Muslim, Christian, Scientologist, FSM, whatever faith your intended prey practices won't make a difference. All you're doing is setting up an exit strategy for yourself when she inevitably shoots you down. With this kind of thinking, you can tell yourself,"She was totally digging me, but her religion wouldn't allow it." Just like the last five girls who shot you down were either too superficial, too much into Sex and the City, too Greek, homeless or "really into cats." Not that I blame you for finding excuses for your dating failures; it beats lying awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering how you're ever going to find a girl who
can look past your horrific flaws and love the "real" you... wait, am I still talking about you? I'm going to end this now, it's time for my mid-afternoon sobbing session, and that mirror's not going to yell at itself...
Niloofar: Of course you can ask her out! But that doesn't guarantee she'll say yes. Muslim women wear scarves on their heads for a myriad of reasons, including modesty and to command respect from others, especially men. As long as you approach her in a respectful manner, if she's truly living up to the ideals of the scarf on her head, she will respond to you in a kind and respectful manner too. But be prepared
for her to tell you that she can't date, or at least not in the traditional American sense. Or that she will only be with another Muslim. Or that, frankly, she's just not that into you. This is not a lost cause, however, as I'm familiar with more than a handful of couples where non-Muslims have courted and even married veiled women. If you want a truly unique relationship and perhaps a quite emotionally intimate and fulfilling experience, you should go for it. If you're just looking to unveil the mystery, or wondering what's under there, then you should probably find a nice non-Muslim girl who will engage in some fantasy role-playing with you.

PEOPLE
ON OUR TERMS
Emily Goddard and Claven Snow don't need a dictionary to define their relationship.
by Lisa Anderson
Emily Goddard, Lawrence sophomore, and Claven Snow, Lawrence resident, have been dating since June. The couple considers themselves polysexual.
PHOTOS/JARED GAB
Bisexual
Heterosexual
Characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward the opposite sex
Characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward both sexes (male and female)
Homosexual
Characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex
Pansexual
Exhibiting or implying many forms of sexual expression
Polysexual
Sexual attraction to more than one sex but not limited to men and women
Emily Goddard dated women for years before she met her current boyfriend. "I was afraid I was going to lose my queer membership card," the Lawrence sophomore says with a chuckle. After this remark, Goddard's smile fades as she gazes out the window and discusses her family and friends who are still trying to understand and accept her somewhat new life.
---
Loving someone your family doesn't love is difficult, but many queer people go through this, Goddard says. Until recently, when Claven Snow, Lawrence resident, and Goddard began dating, Goddard hadn't faced the
Goddard, now 19, came out as a lesbian to her parents when she was 13 years old. They responded with a positive yet unexpected, "We know." She came out to her friends and schoolmates when she was 15, and everyone was pretty supportive, she says. Recently, however, Goddard faced her father's hesitation and friends' confusion when she began dating a man.
family-versus-lover conflict.
Sex is entirely biological but gender is socially constructed, she says. Disappointed with her father's reaction, Goddard explained this to him, but he was still put off. "He
The couple met in 2003 at a radical art auction. Although there was an age gap between them — Snow was 23 and Goddard was 15 — she was attracted to Snow. "It was more like a school-girl crush," she says, so she wasn't concerned about her attraction to a man. The pair met again in 2005 and began dating in June of 2006.
Goddard's family was confused when she began dating Snow because they didn't see the relationship coming, Goddard says. While her mom and Snow built a friendship, her dad took a little more time to adjust. "He was comfortable with the idea that I was going to be with women," Goddard says. "It's the transsexual part that he didn't understand."
knew the mechanics, but couldn't put himself in that head space of being born one sex but identifying with another," Goddard says.
Snow classifies himself as a female-born man transsexual, meaning that he was born a female but identifies as a male.
Goddard and Snow describe themselves as polysexual. Polysexuality is not in the dictionary and was not coined by either Goddard or Snow. In fact, they aren't sure of its exact origin. The term expands sexual identity beyond the realm of bisexuality — sexual attraction to men and women — and opens up the conversation for transsexual people, i.e. male-born woman or female-born man. "That's the limitation of bisexuality. You are attracted to men and women, strictly." Goddard says.
"I really support folks making
"Pollysexuality differs from bisexuality because a person is attracted to more than or different from the male-female dichotomy." Snow says. For example, Goddard, who is female-born woman, has been in a relationship with a female-born woman and now a female-born man but has yet to have a serious attraction to a male-born man.
up their own orientation," William Burleson says of the term "polysexual," which he had never heard of. Burleson, a Minnesota STD/HIV prevention educator, activist and writer, understands why many people cannot understand an attraction to many sexes nor identification with different sexes. Part of this twofold way of looking at things is that we live in a very Northern European culture that is binary in its approach to life. Burleson says. "Everyone's one thing or another: black or white, for us or a terrorist, male or female," he says. "Sexuality is high among that and it's just not that simple."
Because of this binary view of things, Goddard worried about her father's acceptance and the
acceptance of her peers. The fact that she was a homosexual woman was what she and most of her friends had in common, Goddard was worried that when she started dating a man, even a transsexual man, she was going to lose some of the queer community, she says.
People who don't know her and see her walking down the street with Snow view her as heterosexual, but she doesn't think that way, Goddard says. "There is some hetero privilege, but I try not to let that take over," she says, grabbing her rainbow flag from her backpack."I think if I started to abandon the queer community and abandon what this means — diversity — I would lose a big part of who I am."
Queer
Differing in some odd way from what is usual or normal (Godard prefers this term to any other because it often simply means, "not heterosexual.")
Transsexual
A person who strongly identifies with the opposite sex and may seek to live as a member of this sex, especially by undergoing surgery and hormone therapy to obtain the necessary physical appearance

Stranger Than Fiction
MOVIE
A.
Will Ferrell successfully plays a character who is not over-the-top in Stranger Than Fiction.
Ferrell plays Harold Crick, an IRS worker so boring that he counts toothbrush strokes and steps to the bus. Harold suddenly starts to hear a voice that seems to narrate his life and which has a "much better vocabulary" than Harold hmself. Harold soon learns to ignore the voice and even falls for a baker he's auditing (Maggie Gyllenhaal). But when the voice says that Harold is facing
Stranger Than Fiction features a great ensemble cast, including Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson and Queen Latifah, but the real star is the premise.
"imminent death," he finds that just as he starts to live it up, he may have to give it up.
This movie has been compared to Adaptation, but Fiction is much lighter and optimistic than anything Kaufman has written. However, it's just as enjoyable. In fact, the most refreshing thing about this movie, besides
delivering what's promised by the trailer, is the idea of a cast working together for the good of a film rather than for star status.
It's a brilliant and hilarious debut from screenwriter Zach Helm, who brings back theatrical whimsy from days past and gives us pretty much everything we go to the movies for.
Rated: PG-13
Running Time: 117 minutes

Babel
MOVIE
The dramatic film Babel focuses on the human connection each of us share across the globe, told through one day in the lives of four groups of people across Japan, Mexico and Morocco.
A gray-haired Brad Pitt and stoic looking Cate Blanchett are the film's title characters and the supporting cast of unknowns easily matches their talent. Pitt and Blanchett play a married couple going through a rocky patch in a marriage filled with misunderstandings. Both travel to Morocco to try and clear their heads from a family crisis, and after a violent accident occurs, each must deal with their inner demons.
The second narrative deals with the couple's Mexican maid and their two young children, as they all cross the Mexican border for a wedding. What later ensues changes everything for the woman and throws the children in the middle of a culture clash.
The third narrative follows a Moroccan family as two young sons practice shooting a rifle with dire consequences for their family.The aftermath of their petty rivalry displays the incompetence of government relations and the empathy that unites people.
The final narrative is about a Japanese teen with deafness, who must deal with the death of her mother, while living in a silent world.
Such diverse characters and cultures
BABEL
captured vividly are refreshing to see.The film beautifully shows the humanity and fragility in all of us and the mistakes that we must pay for. Despite dragging a bit in places, this is a violent but empathetic portrayal of the human condition with excellent performances throughout.

Science of Sleep
MOVIE
The Science of Sleep is an uneven but visually stunning film, created by the writer/director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Keeping with the same whimsy and narrative distortion of Sunshine, Sleep tells the story of a young man named Stephan who cannot distinguish his dreams from reality. His love interest and neighbor, Stephanie, shares his strange delight in the paranormal.
Stephan's coworkers provide the wit and laughs in many of the film's surreal circumstances. The scenes where one co-worker tries to speak English are hysterical. Overall, the film is creative and funny but due to Stephan's childish nature and
Stephane's distrust of him, their coupling is hard to root for.
While Stephan is a sympathetic character, his overall lack of social courtesy and inappropriate comments make him unappealing. Even with an enthusiastic performance from Gael Garcia Bernal, the film lacks focus and the numerous dream sequences hinder the plot, despite their creativity.
Visually, The Science of Sleep is a masterpiece but narratively, it's a mess.

Knives Don't Have Your Back
MUSIC
Emily Haines
*Knives Don't Have Your Back* is the latest album from Metric frontwoman Emily Haines. Leaving behind the new-wave sound she's made popular with Metric, Haines opts for a more piano-heavy sound backed occasionally by a few musicians known collectively as The Soft Skeleton.
Four years in the making, Knives Don't Have Your Back has some good moments and some not so good moments. The high points include "The Lottery" in which Haines sings, "It's impossible. Like girls in stilettos, like girls in stilettos, like girls in stilettos trying to run." "Nothing & Nowhere" features some inventive piano playing and a nice vocal melody. The album closes beautifully with "Winning" as Haines soft voice lulls listeners into a peaceful state.
A lack of variety hurts Knives Don't Have Your Back. Eleven tracks of piano with occasional additional instrumentation can bore any listener after awhile. Haines does a good job writing some unique piano parts, but can't hide the fact that a little variety could've greatly improved the album.
This album doesn't quite live up to the albums Haines has released with Metric, but it proves that Haines is a versatile songwriter who deserves some attention.

Kansas and Kansas State will meet for the 104th time at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium.The Wildcats last came to Lawrence in 2004, when the Jayhawks were victorious for the first time in 11 years, 31-28.
STATE RIVALRY RUNS DEEP
KU vs. K-State match-up to be anything but'just another game'
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
When it comes to football, the Sunflower State is certainly shaded a deep purple.
Until 2004, 11 straight Kansas State victories made sure of that.
But the layhawks' victory two years ago seemed to revive a once-dormant rivalry. While it didn't exactly color the state crimson and blue, it at least showed that Kansas was capable of supporting two good football teams.
Now, football fans across the state have finally gotten what they wanted — a game that actually means something.
Winning seasons. Bowl bids. Bragging rights. Those and a whole lot of talk have led up to one of the most important meetings between the Jayhawks and Wildcats in quite a long time.
"It's not just a game at the end of the season were just playing to play," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said.
The talk comes to an end 2:30 p.m. Saturday, when the teams take the field at a sold-out Memorial Stadium. The game will also be televised on FSN.
Kansas' season seemingly rides on the outcome. A victory and the jayhawks are bowl eligible for the second straight season, with a chance for a winning season. A loss and Kansas' bowl chances are all but gone. Another holiday season spent at home.
It's not as if Mangino had to remind his team of the opponent this week. Using one day during last week's bye-week to begin preparations for the game got the message across.
"I think the kids are well aware that we are playing our in-state rival," Mangino said. "We don't make a big deal about that. Our emphasis is on winning and getting better."
The Jayhawks have improved in their last two games, both victories.
A healthy quarterback and defense that seems to have learned from its mistakes early in the season have contributed to the team's recent success.

But when it comes to rivalry games, you can throw out any talk of streaks or recent success. Anything can happen.
The game has deeper, more personal connections than just the intra-state rivalry.
"People like to say that it is just another game, but it isn't," junior fullback and Lawrence native Brandon McAnderson said. "You have that feeling of getting to go against your in-state rival and it is going to be fun."
Mangino served as an assistant coach at K-State in the early 1990s under Bill Snyder. Kansas State coach Ron Prince grew up in the shadow of Manhattan, attending high school in Junction City. But
That victory shines an even bigger spotlight on game that Prince, a lifelong Wildcat fan, has been waiting to coach in.
"This is a game that has been marked on our schedule all year long," Prince said. "It doesn't take a whole lot to know - if you're from this area or on this team - the kind of significance that is going to be paid to the game."
the first-year coach has brought the Wildcats back to the national spotlight with their victory against No. 4 Texas last weekend in Manhattan.

BOARD OF REGENTS
Cost of repairs adding up
Legislature to hear arguments for money
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
TOPEKA — Universities in the state of Kansas need money for deferred maintenance.
A lot of money.
At least, that's what the Board of Regents will be arguing to the State Legislature this year.
The Kansas Board of Regents on Thursday made public a report of state university deferred maintenance. The report was originally conducted in Fall 2004 and updated this past summer. The update revealed a backlog of $727 million and a total ongoing maintenance bill of $84 million annually to repair 567 state university buildings.
The University of Kansas alone needs $209 million to repair damage to buildings on the Lawrence campus. The University of Kansas Medical Center needs more than $75 million for repairs.
Two out of three state-owned buildings are on university campuses. Of those buildings, 80 percent are at least 20 years old, out of date and in need of maintenance.
"We've got to do something about this," Shank said. "Somehow, we have to step forward, the legislature needs to step forward and the governor needs to step forward to take care of this."
Regents members and university presidents all agreed that this was a serious issue that needed to be dealt with. Regent Donna Shank said the regents needed to do everything they could to ensure the backlog was reduced.

Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the maintenance of campus buildings was important in recruiting faculty to the University because they paid attention to the state of the buildings they'd be teaching in. Hememway added that it was "constructive in a

way" that the microburst last March caused so much damage and caught the public's attention.
"We had to have a natural disaster for people to realize there was a need that needed to be addressed," he said. "People responded well. I'd like to see the same urgency for deferred maintenance."
The Board of Regents will work closely with Governor Kathleen Sebelius to "encourage her to make a down payment" on deferred maintenance for the state's budget in 2008, said Kip Peterson, director of government relations and communications for the Regents. The Kansas legislature will then decide if more funding will be allotted to state universities when the legislative sessions begin in January.
"Any additional or new funding on this is a step in the right direction." Peterson said. "The reality is the longer it's ignored, the more expensive it will be."

Professor makes politics his life
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Colleagues know him as a prolific writer and a staple of the KU political science department. Reporters and politicians know him as a sharp political analyst who often utters the perfect quote on deadline.
However people may know him, Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, knows politics.
As a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, Loomis was used to local police regularly shooting tear gas at him and his fellow students during anti-war protest marches during the Vietnam War.
Loomis, who joined the political science faculty at the University in 1979, recalled walking to a library to study when the police tried to disrupt a student protest with tear gas. The haze floated across his path, and Loomis thought it was ironic that he got tear-gassed even while simply walking across campus.
Political drama, conventional wisdom and the day-to-day law of legislators — Loomis devours it from the moment he wakes up many mornings reading The New York Times to ending the night watching the evening news.
Readers of local newspapers, including The University Daily Kansan, the Lawrence Journal-World and The Kansas City Star, know Loomis as a regular prognosticator for political columns and articles.
呼
Hes' also weighed in on national politics in the New York Times, USA
Today and for a time as a commentator for National Public Radio.
Students said they came out of his classes always learning something new, and he is routinely cited as a top instructor by political science majors.
Loomis' office in Blake Hall has a magnificent view facing southern Lawrence. He forgoes the typical modern furniture in favor of Victorian chairs (including one that used to be his mother's) and sofas.

Nick Heinerikson of Raymore, Mo., and Taylor Davis, Olathe junior, watch movies on a laptop computer to pass time while camping for the release of Sony's PlayStation 3 on Thursday afternoon at Wal-Mart. Second in line for a premium 60GB unit, Davis is the only camper planning on keeping the PS3 to play as all others hope to sell their systems for "anywhere between $1,400 and $5,400," according to Nathan Hickey, Lawrence freshman, who is waiting for his at Best Buy.
Thanking the PS3 campers for their orderliness, Wal-Mart management awarded them with boxes of doughnuts Thursday. The campers have been waiting in the Lawn and Garden department of the store since Wednesday at noon and will receive their units once they are released at midnight Thursday. At other area stores such as Best Buy, campers have been much less organized and have had to fight to hold their spots through the confusion.

Beauty.queen abdicates title, leaves for Iraq
The crocodiles are on an endangered species list and their importation is prohibited, airport manager Alfonso Cusi said.
He said charges were being readied against Castillo, while the reptiles were turned over to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
MANILA, Philippines — A Filipino man who flew home from Cambodia said he was carrying live fish in his carry on luggage, until a check at Manila airport revealed three 1.5-foot-long crocodiles, officials said.
MINNEAPOLIS — Jessica Gaulke is trading in her sash as a Minnesota beauty queen for Army fatigues — and Iraq.
Gaulke, who was chosen Minneapolis Aquaternial Queen of the Lakes in July, is giving up her title because her National Guard unit has been activated for duty. The 22-year-old Augsburg College student will be going to the Mideast as a diesel generator mechanic.
The head of the Manila International Airport Authority said Wednesday it wasn't clear how Enrique Yu Castillo, 50, was able to carry the Siamese crocodiles from Phnom Penh to Singapore to Manila on Monday night.
"It really wasn't a decision that was mine to be made," said Gaulke. "My unit's going. I've accepted it. It's part of the whole scope of why I joined; I'll be there for all of us over here."
Castillo had earlier sought a permit to import the exotic animals but his application was denied, said Teddy Aguir, from the environment department's Wildlife Traffic Monitoring unit at the airport.
Gauke said being Queen of the Lakes, Minnesota's best-known festival royalty, is "a huge honor," but she said she is simply honoring the agreement she made when she committed to the Guard before her senior year in high school.
"We're proud of her for making this choice and what she'll do for the country," Aquaternial President Jim Erickson said.

Horne was charged with misdemeanor trespassing. Daughters Keisha Horne, 19, and Marquitta McNair, 18, were charged with misdemeanor trespassing, simple assault and carrying concealed weapons — Horne a knife, McNair a box cutter — according to arrest records.

AWARENESS
MtvU works to reduce suicides on college campuses
BY MATT ELDER
MtU is leading a campaign to prevent student suicide and fight the stigma of emotional illnesses among the nation's college campuses.
MtU, MTV's college television channel, joined last week with the Jed Foundation, a nonprofit group committed to reducing young adult suicides, to create a campaign called "Half of Us." A national study conducted by mtuU found that almost half of college students have felt so depressed that they could not function.
The campaign is similar to the University's Counseling and Psychological Services, which gives local and professional assistance to KU students showing or experiencing psychological problems. CAPS offers treatments to students
in both individual and group settings. Depending on the severity of the situation, CAPS will either treat students internally or refer them for more comprehensive services.
Diana Robertson, interim director of student housing, didn't recall a suicide in her approximately seven years with the University, but she said the housing department did have a suicide-indication policy. Indications of suicide include roommates or friends noticing written or verbal evidence, such as notes or a diary.
The mtvU campaign will build from the success of the network's Sudan campaign for college students to help end the genocide in Darfur.
"It seemed clear that while we continued with our Sudan campaign that there was an issue much closer to home," said Stephen Friedman, general manager of mtvU. "There's
a driving and yearing need for discussion.7
The survey found that suicide is the second leading cause of death nationwide for college students, and seniors are nearly three times more likely to have considered suicide than freshmen. The study also found that college students were reluctant to speak about suicide.
"A big part of this issue is the stigma," Friedman said. "And when you realize its prevalence, you realize that stigma kills."
Of those surveyed, nearly half said they'd refer a friend to get treatment for emotional issues, but less than a quarter of the same people would receive the help themselves.
The mtuV campaign aims to connect students together and with professionals to receive local treatment. Students can also sign up at their
universities listed under each state As of now, the campaign lists several universities under Kansas, such as Kansas State University, but does not include the University. Students can still interact with others and get professional help outside their university.
The campaign's Web site allows both student interaction and a confidential "Self-e-Valuator" online mental health assessment created by Ranga K. Krishnan, chairman of the department of psychiatry for the Duke University Medical Center. "There doctors at a number of universities that are advising every step along the way," Friedman said. "We're not the experts, so for us it's raising awareness and driving them to the experts."
Unlike other nationwide college campuses, Robertson said suicidal
indications or attempts did not result in an automatic cancelation of a housing contract or expulsion from the University.
Both the network's channel and Web site are covering a portion of the screen with a gray haze, symbolic of the large percentage of college students suffering from emotional illnesses.
"We're just trying to make that point that if half of us go through it, all of us are affected by it." Friedman said.
The campaign can be reached through the network's channel or at halfofats.com.

Study findings
> Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students.
Of the 15.2 million college students in the US, an estimated 1,000 die by suicide each year.
> One in 10 college students seriously considers suicide.
> Among adults, 18- to 24-year-olds think about suicide more often than any other age group.
> More teenagers and young adults die from suicide than from all medical illnesses combined.

Curriculum equips students for museum jobs
Increased applicants almost 80 percent job placement define grad school program
BY KIM LYNCH
Abby Pierron's job is to catalog and tag the 302,000 specimen of reptiles and amphibians that make up The University of Kansas' collection.
This job is preparing Pierron, Olathe museum studies graduate student and curatorial assistant, for a career in the museum field.
Pierron is one of 32 students who make up the museum studies program, which has graduated 146 students since it started in 1981. The program has an almost 80 percent job placement rate in the field, said John Simmons, director of the museum studies program.
The program is structured around six core classes where students learn about everything from collection management to administrative roles. Eighteen hours are also required from one of the following areas: American studies, biology, geology, anthropology or history, Simmons said.
Although Pierron is not a trained biologist, her work with the fourth largest collection in the U.S. is more about learning how to catalog and manage large museum collections.
"I'm here for the skills" Pierron said.
This year the program had 60 applicants and only took six. The number accepted into the program varies each year, but is usually from eight to 10 students, Simmons said.
"I really believe it's important to pass along the skills and experience to future museum workers."
"The number of people that want

and experience to future museum workers", MacDonald said about teaching.
"I do it because I'm passionate about what I do, and I really believe it's important to pass along the skills
It's that passion that Simmons said was important because the pay in the profession didn't always reflect the amount of work.
"Museum jobs in general pay very low compared to other jobs with equivalent training, but the worker satisfaction is very high," he said.

Pierron said she was happy with the program because it was teaching her about every aspect of how a museum runs and that despite the possible low pay, it was more important to have a job you enjoyed.

LOOMIS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
His teaching style may not be flashy, but students continue to enjoy his courses.
"He's definitely one of my all-time favorite professors," said Janae Hartmann, Lawrence senior.
Elaine Sharp, the political science department chairwoman, praised Loomis' books and called him a "major player" in American politics.
"I think he does more political commentary than any other faculty member," Sharp said.
She credited Loomis with single-handedly turning around the department's internship program. Now the University regularly sends students to intern in Topeka and Washington, D.C.
"Many of the students who've gone to that have had terrific real-world experiences," Sharp said.
Loomis will readily admit that he doesn't enjoy broad political theorizing and statistical analyses.
Loomis knew Nancy Boyda would beat incumbent Rep. Jim Ryun in the 2nd district congressional race, though it took time for him to become convinced. He also approved of President Bush making the Iraq war the main focus of the 2006 elections.
"I'm interested in some of that stuff." Loomis said. "But I'm also interested in hand-to-hand combat."
"I think he gave the American people the chance to speak on the war and on his presidency," Loomis said. "It didn't turn out well for him, but I think it turned out well for the country."
Politics never gets old for Loomis. With the U.S. Congress, especially, there's always something going on, Loomis said. Sometimes he'll just read a story directly linked to his work.
Loomis was interviewed for the Thomas Frank book "What's the Matter With Kansas?" and has written several books about political
special interests and the religious right.
"You feel like a part of it all, and that's fun." Loomis said.
Loomis' body of work includes many articles and a number of political science textbooks and books about government trends, such as a 1998 book he co-authored called "The Sound of Money: How Political Interests Get What They Want."
Despite his high profile and positive relationships with current politicians such as Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, Loomis doesn't plan to ever run for office.
"I know too much to run for office," he said with a laugh. "I've written too much. Thered be a million quotes that could be used against me."

UN to increase presence in Darfur
BY LES NEUHAUS ASSOCIATED PRESS
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — African, Arab, European and U.N. leaders agreed in principle Thursday to a joint African Union-United Nations peacekeeping force for Sudan's Darfur region.
The force could be as large as 27,000, including the existing 7,000-member AU peacekeeping force in Darfur, but the leaders did not lay out a timetable for the force to begin work partly because Sudan had some reservations.
Sudan did not give the plan its unreserved approval because officials at Thursday's meeting needed to consult with their superiors, the country's U.N. ambassador, Abdul Mahmoud Abdelhaelem, said.
U. N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said the additional personnel could include as many as 17,000 soldiers and 3,000 police officers.
A timetable for the expanded force to begin work was not announced partly because Sudan retained some reservations, including the question of who would be in charge.
"The next step is for the U.N. and AU to call a meeting of the nonsignatories (of the Darfur Peace Agreement) ... and the government of Sudan. It should take place in the next couple of weeks to resolve outstanding issues by the end of the year," Annan told reporters.
A U.N. Security Council resolution has called for U.N. peacekeepers to take over for the poorly equipped and underfunded AU force, which has been unable to quell a war that has left more than 200,000 dead since 2003. But Sudan's government has firmly opposed the takeover.
The agreement was announced at a meeting in Ethiopia that brought together senior officials from the AU, the Arab League, the European Union, Sudan, the United States, China, Russia, Egypt, France and a half-dozen African countries.
The expansion of the existing AU force will take place in three phases, said Annan, who had wanted to try to stop the bloodshed in Darfur before he leaves office on Jan. 1.
An African Union Peace and Security Council meeting will be held in the Republic of Congo on Nov. 24 during which Sudan is expected to present its final views, Annan said.
In recent days, pro-government militia forces known as janjaweed have stepped up attacks on villages in Darfur, killing dozens of people, international observers said Wednesday.

U. S. President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush arrive at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Friday, where Bush will attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. Bush, who has fought against comparisons of the Vietnam War to the Iraq war, challenged Democrats to reject "the old temptations of isolationism and protectionism."

Bush's itinerary promised some interesting moments. Before attending a state dinner Friday evening, Bush was to drop by the headquarters of the Communist Party to talk with its general secretary.
BY TERENCE HUNT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
On Air Force One as it flew to Hanoi, White House press secretary Tony Snow dodged discussion of the Vietnam War, either its lessons for Iraq, or Bush's personal interest in visiting a country that once so divided the United States.
Bush was the fourth U.S. president to visit Vietnam, where communist forces prevailed over the United States and a Washington-backed regime in Saigon in a conflict that claimed the lives of more than 58,000 Americans. President Clinton visited Vietnam in 2000; Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon made wartime visits.
Bush and his aides have pushed back against comparisons of the war here and the Iraq war, now in its fourth year. Like Vietnam, the United States faces a determined insurgency in Iraq; both wars have demonstrated the limits of U.S. power.
"The Vietnamese are not particularly interested in that," Snow said. "This is not going to be a look back at Vietnam. It's going to be a look forward" on how to best cooperate on health, trade, prisoners of war and military issues.
Bush flew here from Singapore after warning a nuclear-armed North Korea against peddling its weapons and vowing the United States will not retreat into isolationism.
HANOI, Vietnam — President Bush opened a visit Friday to the wartime capital of this once-divided country, a trip that is stirring inevitable comparisons between the unpopular war in Iraq and the divisive conflict fought and lost in Vietnam more than three decades ago.
Vietnamese officials greeted Bush and his wife, Laura, at the airport on humid and breezy morning. Two young girls, wearing flowing traditional dresses, presented them with bouquets of flowers.
Bush will draw on his powers of personal diplomacy in meetings Saturday and Sunday with Russia's Vladimir Putin, China's Hu Jintao, Japan's Shinzo Abe and South Korea's Roh Moh-hyun.
Although Republicans lost con
All are partners with the United States in talks aimed at persuading a defiant North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons.
"We hear voices calling for us to retreat from the world and close our doors to these opportunities," the president said in a speech at the National University of Singapore. "These are the old temptations of isolationism and protectionism, and America must reject them."
Bush came to Vietnam for a summit of Asia-Pacific leaders and individual meetings with a handful of leaders — all of them curious whether election setbacks had unsettled Bush.
trol of Congress, Bush directly challenged newly empowered Democrats who are demanding a fresh course in Iraq and fearful that free-trade agreements could cost U.S. jobs.

Bush's message in Asia was clear: The United States has been a power in Asia for more than six decades and isn't about to pull back now. Many nations in the region are nervous about the rise of China and how Washington will react.
While North Korea's nuclear test has been widely condemned, the 21 members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum appeared divided over what to say publicly. Rice went to Vietnam ahead of Bush to seek a consensus.
Bush said the transfer of nuclear weapons or material by North Korea to others would be "a grave threat to the United States, and we would hold North Korea fully accountable for the consequences of such action."
"For the sake of peace," he said, "it is vital that the nations of this region send a message to North Korea that the proliferation of nuclear technology to hostile regimes or terrorist networks will not be tolerated."
Despite Bush's tough talk, he was unable to deliver a promised agreement to normalize trade with Vietnam. The accord was held up by the House, sending a bad signal across Asia about Bush's clout and the future of trade-liberalizing bills in the Democratic Congress taking power in January.
White House National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley readily admitted the administration was disappointed about the Vietnam trade bill but expressed optimism it would pass.

Party-switching blurs difference between Democrat and Republican
Last Tuesday's midterm elections produced a seemingly infinite number of talking points for the national media, mostly relating to the power shift in Washington. But one interesting aspect of the election has gone relatively overlooked: the surprisingly high number of candidates who switched political parties prior to the election.
Locally, Paul Morrison is the most prominent example of this trend. Morrison switched to the Democratic ticket in order to challenge Phill Kline, thus appealing more to moderate voters turned off by Kline's evangelical strong-arming.
Jim Webb, the newest senator from Virginia, was a lifelong Republican and was Secretary of the Navy in the Reagan administration. Webb ran as a Democrat to undercut Senator George Allen's moderate base and because of his disaffection with the Bush administration. His new party label appealed to enough voters in the Commonwealth to propel
him to victory.
So is this the beginning of a backlash against polarized politics, or merely another example of crass political opportunism? While there is probably an uncomfortably large portion of the latter, perhaps we should be optimistic that moderation may again be gaining popularity in Washington.
Most presidents govern as moderates, which may be a reflection of the fact that most Americans describe themselves as such. After the last 12 years, which had to rank among the most polarized periods in Washington, maybe the spirit of moderation is again returning to our nation's capital, and the party-switching is simply a byproduct of that trend.
But young voters must be careful before they mark that straight-ticket ballot. A little investigation may reveal that a "D" or an "R" next to a candidate's name does not necessarily mean that candidate shares your
values and beliefs.
Jon Tester, Montana's newest senator, would hardly be embraced at a party convention in California. Virginia's Webb would not be the darling of the Massachusetts Democratic Party. Don't let a nominal party affiliation be enough to earn your vote; make sure to evaluate a candidate's positions on the issues you care about before supporting them. Switching parties may inject life into the spirit of moderation, but it may also mislead young voters who often look for little more than a party name.
The 2008 presidential election threatens to elevate even more candidates who blend positions, merge principles, and mix philosophies for political gain. Students should take care to always evaluate the candidate, not just the candidate's party.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Gay celebrities still stuck with '50s-minded media
The 2004 film "Straight-Jacket" is about Guy Stone, an A-List celebrity in 1950s Hollywood and America's most eligible bachelor. He is also a barely-closedet gay man caught in a police raid of a gay bar. To cover the scandal and keep his leading role in "Ben-Hur," Guy's manager and producer arrange a sham marriage to Sally, a studio secretary. The catch is that Sally isn't in on the joke, and the marriage begins to crumble when Guy falls in love with Rick, the writer of his most recent movie. To complicate matters further Rick is a Communist during the height of McCarthism.
The film relies on both witty dialogue and visual gags and can be wonderfully campy in look and feel. Beyond the comedy, though, is an underlying story of love and the challenges that homosexuals faced in the entertainment industry and the world in general. The story also plants seeds of hope for the future.
The future is referenced several times in "Straight Jacket." Sometimes it's for comedic effect, such as when the character Freddie picks up a prop that looks like a 1990s laptop and says, "Captain Astro lives in the year 1996, not four-billion AD!" before slamming the computer down in disgust.
the computer issue in the other times the allusions are more poignant and obvious. When Guy and Rick's secret relationship begins to cause problems, Jerry, Guy's manager, urges them to call the relationship off and says "Maybe 50 years from now a gay actor will be no big deal, but I'm not about to sacrifice Guy to some cause."
Such a line immediately brings to mind the current state of affairs for gay actors. It's been 50 years. Was jerry right? Are things better?
Writer-director Richard Day said
in a behind-the-scenes featurette on the 2005 DVD release that "if you decided to film 'Straight-Jacket' as a contemporary film instead of a period film you would have to change practically nothing," and he's not entirely wrong.
Throughout the movie, the press is viewed as an important entity that can be the deciding factor in success or failure. When Guy is photographed outside a gay bar, the immediate concern is what to do about the press. When Jerry, Guy and Guy's producer decide a fake marriage is the best way to cover up the gay scandal, the marriage news is all over the media in a montage of magazine covers and newspaper pages. Similarly, when Guy is exposed as a homosexual the news is in all the magazines and all the newspapers. The backlash is immediate, as Guy loses his leading role in Ben-Hur, is told that all movies and TV roles are out of his reach and is made the butt of jokes while he loses his adoring fan base.
While gay speculation and declarations no longer seem to be immediate death sentences for Hollywood careers, the media's fixation with celebrity relationships and sexuality shows that 50 years haven't been as kind to actors as the characters in "Straight-Jacket" would hope.
When Lance Bass of "NSYNC, Neil Patrick Harris of "How I Met Your Mother" and T.R. Knight of "Grey's Anatomy" announced their sexual orientation it was all over the media, generally stemming from a "Hey, I'm gay!" story in legitimate magazines. But it's not always press releases and public statements that fuel the media machine. Speculation is just as prevalent.
Tom Cruise and John Travolta are the butts of endless jokes in late
night monologues and social satires such as Comedy Central's "South Park," and tabloids never fail to run the latest picture or "insider statement" as proof of hidden homosexuality.
Hayes has never given official word on his sexuality, but that hasn't slowed the speculation and questioning, and it's not limited to tabloids and late-night jokes. The May 2006 issue of The Advocate, a magazine targeting the LGBT community, even ran an article called "The Interview Sean Hayes Never Gave," which was a compilation of all the times and reasons Hayes had given for not addressing his sexuality. It all seems to be part of a feeding frenzy that tries to make sexuality important to acting and singing, and it certainly doesn't jive with Guy's belief that movie characters wouldn't care who played them.
Maybe it's too early to predict how or even if the media and public's fixation on sexuality will have an effect on the careers of Bass, Harris and Knight. Harris and Knight certainly aren't being forced out of their jobs like Guy was stripped from "Ben-Hur." But as long as celebrity sexuality remains a headline-grabbing topic, it's hard to be more than a step away from the situation in "Straight-lacket."
In a 1998 interview with Hollywood Online, actor Sean Hayes, who played the flamboyantly gay Jack McFarland on NBC's "Will & Grace," said "I'm an actor first and don't want to say if I'm straight or gay"
That's not much movement for 50 years.

SOCIETY OF OPEN-
MINDED ATHEISTIS
& AGNOSTICS
Last month, syndicated radio commentator Rush Limbaugh accused actor Michael J. Fox of exaggerating his symptoms of Parkinson's disease while doing a political advertisement for Missouri Democrat Senate candidate Claire McCaskill's campaign.
A strong supporter of stem-cell research, McCaskill received a call from Fox asking if he could help with her campaign. His well-known, boyish face, and chronic condition in need of a cure, had the potential to put McCaskill's campaign at the forefront of voters' minds. Thus, the soon-to-be infamous commercial was filmed. The ad, without focusing on it, visually and painfully demonstrated that the medication Fox takes to combat his disease had seized his body, loosening his muscles beyond his control. The resulting visual of the actor was alarming.
they care about what's popular. Limbaugh, and the Republicans, suffered the consequences of picking on Marty McFly when he's down.
Austrian-native and Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger replaced Governor Gray Davis in 2003 for the remainder of Davis' term. When Schwarzenegger ran for re-election on Nov. 7, the blue state watched Schwarzenegger win by a 17-point margin. Maybe it was his lack of college education or his labeling San Francisco Democrats "girl men" that sealed the deal, but perhaps his effectiveness as a "Kindergarten Cop" provided much of the requirement needed to hold public office.
As to whether Claire McCaskill is the now a senator because of her political intelligence and plans for the state's future, or because Alex P. Keaton can pull the heart strings in all of us, may forever be in question.
"He's extremely exaggerating the effects of the disease," Limbaugh said on his show. "He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act . . . This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."
Whether politically active or not, Limbaugh's verbal attack infuriated Fox's fans and opened the search for the celebrity's place in the political arena. After Limbaugh's public apology was followed with its retraction, then the possible retraction of the retraction, the ad had become a media frenzy. The political factors of McCaskill's political campaign

were as good as gone.
Within days of the pending Nov. 7 election, Anderson Cooper used an entire episode of his show, "Anderson Cooper 360" on CNN, to interview Fox on the subject, shining the spotlight all the brighter on the celeb-factor of Missouri's Senate race.
TALK TO US
However off-putting, Limbaugh and Fox did what McCaskill could not. Their battle got the public interested. Political races mean a great deal to those involved and invested, but the simple fact is that often citizens are not interested.

After debating with local government and its regulations while trying to open a restaurant in Palm Springs, Ca., Sonny Bono ran for mayor of the city. With a radio talk show host leading his campaign, Bono was elected and served the city from 1988-1992. The shorter half of the Sonny and Cher duo then went on to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1994 to his death in 1998.

Sincerely hoping that America and its voters look at more than advertisements and celebrity endorsements, I don't immediately attribute McCaskill's victory to Fox's fame.

Did Limbaugh's and Fox's celebrity endorsements single-handedly spark interest of the otherwise apathetic voting public?

Green recovers from injury
Chiefs quarterback returns to the field after ten weeks
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There will be no fear of that first hit, Trent Green says.
Ten weeks after he was knocked unconscious with a severe concussion, the two-time Pro Bowler is just happy to finally be back as the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Given medical clearance by an array of doctors after a battery of tests, Green will start Sunday against Oakland in a game the Chiefs (5-4) must win to keep their playoff hopes alive. It will be his first live action since Sept. 10 when Cincinnati's Robert Beechs came flying in and hit him with a shoulder, snapping his head violently to the turf.
"He's probably waiting for (that first hit)," Edwards said. "He might go out there and hit somebody himself, just to get it over with."
The ambulance was almost at the hospital before he regained consciousness. For a couple of weeks, he wasn't even able to drive. Only earlier
this month he was allowed him to begin even limited practice.
Was he concerned about losing his job again?
"I don't anticipate having (fear) on Sunday," Green said Thursday. "Just because of some of the things I've been through early in my career, No, you can't play the position with fear, and I don't anticipate doing that."
While Green was out, backup Damon Huard performed much better than just about anybody expected, going 5-3 as a starter and throwing only one interception while hitting 11 touchdown passes. While he waited impatiently to get the doctors' OK and watched Huard do well, Green admits he flashed back more than once to 1999.
Nevertheless, about 79,000 fans in Arrowhead Stadium are going to hold their collective breath the first time some Raider defender like tackle Warren Sapp or linebacker Kirk Morrison gives their 36-year-old quarterback a good pop.
"There's always concern, especially since it's happened to me before," he said with a grin.
"You'll just say, 'I'm glad it over.' said coach Herm Edwards. "I think once he gets the snap from center and he goes back and it's a pass and he sets up in the pocket, if he gets knocked down, you'll go, 'OK, that's done. Let's go'"
That's when he suffered a devastating knee injury in the preseason and lost his starting job with the Rams to Kurt Warner. By the time he was healthy again, Warner had led the Rams to the Super Bowl and been declared the league MVP.

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that Barry Bonds' personal trainer must return to prison for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating performance-enhancing drugs in professional sports.
Greg Anderson, 40, already has served two other brief prison stints for refusing to testify whether his boyhood friend lied when he said he never knowingly used steroids. Both times, Anderson, held in contempt of court, was released on procedural grounds.

he knows about Bonds' alleged steroids use.
The San Francisco Giants slugger, who's now a free agent, told a 2003 grand jury that he believed Anderson had provided him flaxseed oil and arthritic balm, not steroids.
Anderson was convicted in the BALCO probe, pleading guilty to steroid distribution and money laundering charges. He served three months in jail.
Federal prosecutors believe Bonds committed perjury in 2003 when he appeared before another grand jury that was investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, which turned out to be a steroid rings.
Anderson's attorney Mark Geragos could not immediately be reached for comment.
In July, Anderson served 15 days in prison for refusing to talk to the grand jury looking into Bonds' testimony but was released when the panel's term expired. He was held in contempt a second time after a new grand jury was formed but got out of prison after 37 days when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals failed to uphold the citation within 30 days as the law requires.
Geragos argued Anderson shouldn't have to testify about whether he gave Bonds steroids, contending prosecutors illegally recorded him in 2004 on a tape in which Anderson is overheard discussing steroids.
Prosecutors say the recording was made during a face-to-face meeting and wasn't obtained improperly. A lower court judge ruled the recording, which was made by an unidentified person, was legal and did not prejudice the grand jury against Anderson, as Anderson claimed.

China to use mice to test food safety
BEIJING — China will use mice to test the safety of food for athletes competing in the 2008 Olympic Games, state media reported Thursday.
Zhao told a meeting on hygiene measures for the games that the mice would develop an adverse reaction to any food poisoning within 17 hours, sooner than test methods such as bacteria cultures.
"Milk, alcohol, salad, rice, oil, salt and seasonings will be tested by white mice 24 hours before they are used in cooking or served to athletes," Xinhua News Agency quoted Zhao Xinsheng of the Beijing Municipal Health Inspection Bureau as saying.
China has seen a string of food poisoning incidents in recent months.
In October, more than 200 students and teachers fell ill at a school in southern China.
There have been at least eight other food poisoning incidents, but
officials say they don't appear to be connected.
Zhen Xiaozhen, of the medical team of the Beijing Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games, told the meeting that most of the food for the Olympic athletes would be Western style, complemented by Chinese dishes.
Health inspectors were to receive training in management and inspection of Western food preparation starting this month, said Liang Jin of the inspection bureau.

ENTERTAINMENT Cruise, Holmes to marry in Italian castle near Rome
ROME — Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will likely wed Saturday in a Scientology ceremony held at a 15th-century Italian castle in a lake side town near Rome, the town's mayor said Thursday.
The wedding party, along with guests, are then expected to attend a banquet the same day in Rome, Bracciano Mayor Patrizia Riccioni said.
For weeks rumors have focused on Odescalchi Castle in the sleepy town of Bracciano as the likely venue for the celebrity wedding. Riccioni told a news conference Thursday she had met the couple
She was coy about other details, too, saying only that she expected the couple to arrive Saturday morning at the castle, which overlooks Lake Bracciano, for what she believed would be a Scientology wedding ceremony, followed by a banquet. She said she expected
the day before somewhere outside of her town, but she would not say where.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Cardinals set earnings record for World Series
NAPLES, Fla. — The St. Louis Cardinals cashed in at the World Series, earning more money than any other team in history.
St. Louis split $20.02 million for beating the Detroit Tigers. A full share of that was worth $362,173.

the commissioner's office said Thursday. That was nearly $40,000 more than what White Sox players received last year.
Teams are allowed to
divide the shares as they see fit. The
Cardinals gave 48 full shares, 7.133
partial shares and 16 cash awards.
When the Cardinals won their previous title in 1982, a full share was worth $43,280.
A full share for the Tigers was worth $291,668, more than $50,000 higher than the previous mark for a losing team. The 2000 New York Mets held that mark.

GMs have repeatedly discussed the topic but know replays aren't like-
GMs plan to talk about the topic some more, and perhaps make recommendations in the future, even they know commissioner Bud Selig is against having replays to aid ummires' decisions.
The Colts haven't been pretty this season, but they are better on the road against good teams (Denver and New England) than at home against bad ones (Tennessee and Buffalo). Last week they barely beat the 3-6 Bills at the RCA Dome, winning 17-16 because the defense held up against a weak offense.
"Umpires do a really nice job," he said. "I think that's the way baseball has been played since inception. I don't see any reason to change it."

Entering Thursday night's game against UMKC, the women's basketball team was shooting less than 35 percent from the field. The team had sunk only four three-point shots in their first two games. In order to defeat an experienced UMKC team, the Jayhawks needed to display more poise than they had previously.
4931 W. 6th St. (785) 842.5232
The Ivana Catic that showed up to play against UMKC showed little weakness on the defensive end, picking up four steals and holding UMKC junior Brittny Picconi to seven points on 2-of-8 shooting.
"Ivana's performance tonight was night and day," Henrickson said. "I could see her pointing and hear her calling for switches on defense."
Luckily for the Jayhawks, sophomore guard Ivana Catic had poise to spare Thursday evening.
As a team Kansas was sharper on the defensive end, forcing 25 turnovers and pressing UMKC into taking many tough shots. This led Kansas to jump to a 30-16 halftime lead.
After starting most of Kansas games as a freshman last season, Catic found herself buried deep on the bench to begin this season. Coach Bonnie Henrickson was disappointed in her failure to communicate on defense, and as a result, gave most of the playing time to senior guard Shaquina Mosley.
BY CASE KEEFER
"When you get into the moment of the game, there comes a time where you've got to put your foot down and pull away," Kohn said.
Just as it looked like UMKC was clawing their way back into the game during the second half. Catic buried a three-point shot to punctuate an 8-2 Jayhawk run. The shot gave Kansas a 16-point cushion and injected life into a team that appeared sluggish at the start of the second half.
In less than two minutes, the freshman guard recorded nine points to seal a 66-53 Kansas victory.
Kelly Kohn had four points with five and a half minutes remaining in Thursday's game against the UMKC Kangaroos.
She shot five for eight overall and had a team-high 13 points.
Sophomore guard Ivana Catic, who played 27 minutes combined in Kansas' first two games, played 31 on Thursday. Catic took over at point guard midway through the first half and proved to be the spark the Jayhawks needed offensively after shooting a dreadful 30 percent from the field during the first ten minutes.
"It doesn't surprise me," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She's a mentally tough kid with a good shot."
Catic finished with nine points and five assists, and Henrickson was impressed with the good work she had.
Kansas struggled at the beginning of the game. The guards were getting the ball down low to Marija Zinic, but the sophomore center was not turning those looks into baskets.
"She understands that when she gets in, she's got a responsibility," Henrickson said.
It was this momentum that led the Jayhawks to a 66-53 victory against the Kangaroos.
Zinic finished the first half 1-for
"They did a really good job," she said. "They all contributed."
Henrickson heaved a sigh and let her arms go limp as UMKC senior forward Leigh Mead hit a wide-open three-point shot with 8:35 remaining in the first half to cut the Jayhawks' lead to 17 to 16.
6 with only three points.
The Jayhawks' record stands at 2-1. The team will travel to Creighton on Monday.
The shot would be the last to fall for the Kangaroos in the first half. Kansas went on a 13-0 run and left the court for halftime with a 30-16 lead.
Freshman forward Danielle McCray added four points with less than 2:30 remaining. Freshmen accounted for 17 of Kansas' final 19 points.
The Jayhawk's stingy defense, led by two Catic steals, held UMKC to 25 percent shooting in the first half.
In the second half, the Kangaroos went on a run of their own. With Zinic out because of foul trouble, junior center Alysa Klein exposed Kansas' frontcourt weakness. Klein had eight points in five minutes and cut the lead down to 47-42 with 6:57 remaining.
Catic noticed her young teammate's heroics.

Kerry Meier, freshman quarterback, will be on opposite sides of the field'from his brother Dylan Meier, Kansas State's senior quarterback, at the game Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Kerry decided to go to Kansas, unlike two of his older brothers who went to K-State.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Two youngest Meier brothers to represent opposing teams
Valerie Meier and Dennis Meier have a tough decision to make this Saturday.
The parents of K-State senior quarterback Dylan Meier and KU freshman quarterback Kerry Meier have had all four of their sons play college football, but never against each other. That's happening for the first time this Saturday for the two youngest Meier brothers. Who will Mom and Dad be rooting for?
"We're rooting for the offenses," Dennis said.
The brothers' first meeting lost some of its appeal several weeks ago when Dylan was delegated to the backup role and K-State freshman quarterback Josh Freeman emerged as the starter, something Dylan has taken in stride.
"I think Dylan handled the situation very well," Kerry said. "That's just the way Dylan is: he's a real strong personality. Whatever is dealt his way, he's going to handle it and he's going to take it no matter what."
A move to second-string might have been a tougher pill to swallow for Dylan had Kerry become a Wildcat. With oldest brother Shad Meier playing tight end for K-State (1997-2000) and Dylan ending up at K-State, former K-State coach Bill Snyder tried to bring one more Meier to Manhattan.
Despite growing up going to K-State games to watch Shad, Kerry decided he needed to make a name for himself somewhere else.
"For the most part, I think he thought it would be better — especially with he and Dylan being at the same position — that he'd probably be better off to find his own path," Dennis said.
Kerry has found a place for himself at Kansas where he was handed the starting job this year after taking a redshirt last season.

well. Dylan took the team to the state championship his senior season with Kerry watching from the sidelines and serving as the team's place kicker. Dylan was his holder. When Dylan graduated, Kerry was ready to take the reins his sophomore year. However, an injury kept him out that entire season and he became the starter as a junior.
Because of his older brothers, his high school coach Merle Clark said Kerry had always been ahead in his progression as a quarterback.
"Kerry grew up around the game," said Clark, who's driving up for the game. "He's been around football since he was a little bitty kid. There's nothing really to intimidate him. He's been around a lot of big games since he was old enough to walk."
It was about that time when football took over the Meier family's life. Dennis and Valerie have been going to games every weekend for years, and this year is no different.
They have gone to one of Kerry or Dylan's games every Saturday this football season, making it to part of both on days where one plays in the afternoon and the other at night. That must make it twice as nice to have to be in only one place at one time this Saturday, right?
"Exactly," Dennis said.
Kerry and Dylan have been talking on the phone every day this week, awaiting the Sunflower Showdown. With bowl eligibility on the line for Kansas and
R-State coming off one of the program's biggest victories of all time, the two have had plenty to talk about.
After Saturday, one of the two is going to have bragging rights, and Kerry would like to see Dylan have a shot to give this game a little more Meier spice than it already has.
up, we were always going at it; we had great battles. It'll be neat if he could, but we'll see how it goes. If the situation arises, it'd be great. But if not, I know Dylan, he'll be all right."

Early-season losses are nothing new to returning members of the Kansas basketball team. The trick is bouncing back.
"It's frustrating that we don't quite get it yet," Self said. "Hopefully we will here pretty soon."
When Kansas plays Towson on Sunday night, coach Bill Self and Kansas fans will find out just how this team will respond to its 78-71 loss to Oral Roberts.
Last year, Kansas was 3-4 after its first seven games. The Jayhawks responded by winning 19 of their 22 remaining regular season games, capturing the Big 12 Championship, and receiving a No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament.
The moral of the story is that it's way too early to panic, regardless of how disheartening a loss inside Allen Fieldhouse to a mid-major opponent was.
"The locker room was completely silent just now," junior guard Russell Robinson said. "That just shows that everybody felt that loss. This loss is going to help us later on in the season."
Still, the Jayhawks were noticeably stunned after Wednesday's loss.

from Wednesday in order to not underestimate the Towson Tigers.
Against Oral Roberts, Rush took nearly 15 minutes to score his first point of the game. Wright had 12 rebounds and five blocks, but he was more of a liability on offense than an asset. His six points were equaled by six turnovers.
First and foremost, Kansas needs its all-conference sophomores — Brandon Rush and Julian Wright — to get involved on offense early and often.
As a team, Kansas' shooting was poor. Its perimeter shooting was nonexistent in the second half and the Jayhawks were anything but solid from the free-throw line, hitting only five of 13.
"We made 29 field goals, I guarantee you 24 of them were inside of three feet," Self said. "Just pitiful shooting."
Kansas will also have to become more disciplined on defense after being abused by Oral Roberts. Golden Eagles Caleb Green and
Kansas can expect more of the same from Towson. The Tigers shot 46.2 percent from the field in their season opener.
Marchello Vealy combined for 42 points and shot 9-for-11 from three-point range and had plenty of support from their teammates. Oral Roberts shot 46.6 percent from the field.
Tubbs made six of nine shots in his first game on his way to 15 points and also pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds. Neal only made a pair of three-point shots in his first game, but he obviously felt capable behind the arc, putting up nine attempts. He led all scorers with 20 points.
If Kansas wants to know who Towson's versions of Green and Vealy are, it can look to no further than forward Winstonn Tubbs and guard Gary Neal.
Containing these two should be priority No. 1 on defense for Kansas.
Kansas hasn't lost consecutive home games since 1988-89 and the Jayhawks don't want that stat to change. But most of all, they don't want to return to a dead locker room after Sunday's game.

Homecoming victory ends Kansas State's supremacy
Editor's note: This week, The University Daily Kansan looks back at four classic games between the Javahaws and Wildcats.
Oct. 9, 2004 Kansas 31, Kansas State 28
2004 Kansan headline - "Homecoming Kings"
When Kansas defeated Kansas State 31-28 two years ago for the first time in 11 years, the team had a myriad of memorable plays — all in the fourth quarter.
Kansas had a six-play scoring drive to regain the lead on the ensuing series.
James McClinton, senior defensive tackle, remembers Jermial Ashley blocking a Kansas State field goal with 7:02 left in the game. The Wildcats were trying to go up by a touchdown, leading 21-17, but Ashley blocked K-State kicker Joe Rheem's 49-yard field-goal attempt.
Travis Dambach, senior offensive lineman, said he remembered that driver was capped by Mark Simmons, a former Kansas wide receiver, snagging a one-handed touchdown grab. Quarterback Jason Swanson, who replaced Adam Barmann in the fourth quarter, threw the ball to Simmons, who then made the acrobatic catch to give Kansas a 24-21 lead.
John Randle, former Kansas running back, gave the Jayhawks a 10-point lead on a 43-yard touchdown run with 3:16 remaining.
Randle was the star of the game as he rushed for 105 yards, had 51 receiving yards and scored two touchdowns.
The Wildcats needed two scoring drives late in the game, and scored only one late touchdown. They failed to recover the following onside kick.
"The line's blocking was magnifi- cent tonight," he said.
After the game, Randle gave credit to the offensive line for opening up holes.
Before time expired, students rushed the field and tore down the goal posts then headed to either Potter's Lake or Massachusetts Street to continue the celebration.
Kansas State was led by wide receiver Yamon Figurs with 106 yards as a sophomore. Figurs, now a senior, could play tomorrow, although his status is questionable.
The game was one of coach Mark Mangino's most important victories. Although the team finished 4-7, Kansas was competitive in every game and nearly defeated football powerhouses Nebraska and Texas.
At 2:30 Saturday, the Jayhawks and Wildcats will meet for the 104th time. Last season, Kansas lost a low scoring, grind-it-out game 12-3 in Manhattan.
The jayhawks are favored, but remember, it is a rivalry game and anything can happen.
Notes from 2004:
>Charles Gordon had one interception against K-State. For the season, he picked off seven passes leading the Big 12 and was tied for first nationally.
Kansas has never lost in the series when scoring more than 23 points. The official attendance was 50,152, the third largest crowd to a KU vs. KSU game at Memorial Stadium.
The rivalry is the sixth longest uninterrupted series in the NCAA with 95 games in a row. Kansas vs. Nebraska is first, with 101 straight games.

KU
KICKOFF
AT A GLANCE
Kansas enters the 104th Sunflower Showdown on a two-game winning streak. That streak, though, was halted by a bye week. Now the challenge for the Jayhawks is to regain their momentum and get their sixth victory to qualify for a bowl game. The key for Kansas will be to disrupt Kansas State's offense and get to the quarterback early and often. If the defense can find a way to do what Texas couldn't do a week ago, expect Kansas to get the victory.
5 QUICK FACTS
23 — straight games since Kansas last allowed a 100-yard rusher.
313 yards needed for running back Jon Cornish to break the KU single-season rushing record.
1-3 — Mark Mangino's record against K-State.
5 — interceptions this season for cornerback Anib Talib.
46 — consecutive starts for offensive lineman Bob Whitaker, fifth-most in NCAA Division I-A.
PLAYER TO WATCH

34 solo. He also has four sacks.
McClinton said
this week that he wanted to put K-State quarterback Josh Freeman on the ground as much as possible. If he can do that, the Jayhawks have a good chance to win.
QUESTION MARK
MOMENTUM
You have to wonder how the bye week will affect the momentum Kansas gained in its last two victories. If Kansas can feed off the energy from the large crowd, that should help it regain momentum. But if the Jayhawks come out flat, expect the Wildcats to roll.

SUNFLOWER SHOWDOWN Jayhawks try to qualify for bowl game
KANSAS VS. KANSAS STATE 2:30 p.m., Saturday, Memorial Stadium, FSN
Kansas
Offense
Kansas' offense has finally started to click with quarterbacks Kerry Meier and Todd Reesing in the lineup. The offense is at its best when running back Jon Cornish sets up the passing game. The key for the Jayhawks will be to control the clock with the rushing game of Meier and Cornish. Kansas' rushing attack has proved it can effectively set up the down-field passing game. If Kansas can control the clock and go for the big play when needed, the Jayhawks have a chance to get the victory.
KU KU
Defense
After struggling for most of the season, Kansas' defense has finally started to find its form. It's hard to tell, though, if that's fools gold, because those two victories came against the two worst teams in the conference. The Jayhawks will have to continue the progress they've made the past few weeks if they hope to slow down Wildcat quarterback Josh Freeman. The key against the freshman will be to get in his face and try to knock Freeman down. K-State's offense will have success unless the defensive line can get to Freeman.

RUSHING
Since replacing senior quarterback Dylan Meier with freshman Josh Freeman, the offense has begun to click. Freeman has been the Big 12 offensive player of the week each of the last two weeks, and even as a freshman is showing the talent that had college scouts drooling over him. He'll face a big test this weekend if star receiver Yamon Figurs is injured; he's listed as questionable for the game.
CCC
Coach Ron Prince has demonstrated that he'll do whatever it takes to win, and he has full confidence in the freshman quarterback to make whatever plays need to be made to advance the football.
After a week off, Kansas tries to regain the momentum it found in its two straight wins. The key for Kansas will be to feed off the energy and emotion of the expected large crowd. The Jayhawks are 10-2 at home in the last two seasons. Kansas plays its best football when

riding a wave of emotion. Adding to the emotions is the fact that it's the last home game for several seniors. Using the emotion and momentum to their advantage will be key for the Javhawks.
Defense
When the offense takes the lead, the Wildcat defense has succeeded in protecting it. The team has led at halftime in all seven of its victories and trailed at halftime in all four of its losses.

Momentum
Michael Phillips
A healthy amount of purple will balance out the crimson and blue in Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Prince has given Wildcat fans a reason to be excited about the team again, and they're eager to prove that the loss to the Jayhawks in 2004 was a one-time event. The only downside is that the Wildcats have played 12 consecutive weeks, and the Jayhawks just had the week off. Will Kansas be able to outrun its in-state rival in the fourth quarter?
CCC
KSU
KICKOFF
AT A GLANCE
After being dismissed early in the season as a Big 12 also-ran, coach Ron Prince has led the Wildcats to a 7-4 record in his first year as coach. Kansas State enters Saturday's game as the hottest team in the Big 12 after knocking off No. 4 Texas last week in Manhattan. The Wildcats aim to prove that this was no fluke, and they can boost themselves into an elite bowl game by making a statement and destroying the Jayhawks.
5 QUICK FACTS
36 — points per game averaged by the Wildcats over the past three weeks.
67 — percent of the field goals attempted by kicker Jeff Snodgrass have been good, which is fourth-best in the conference. He's also made three 50-plus yards this season.
104 times the Jayhawks and Wildcats have played, the 13th most-played match-up in the country.
6-1 — record for the Wildcats when the Sunflower Showdown is televised. Saturday's game is on FSN.
12 — straight weeks that Kansas State has played. The team did not have a bye week.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Senior wide receiver Yamon Figurs. Last week he finished with 123_yards receiving and two touchdowns, and is equally dangerous as a punt returner, returning a 52-yard punt that

helped set up a K-State touchdown. He was named the Big 12 special teams player of the week after the game. However, he injured himself late in the game, and coach Ron Prince said his participation Saturday was questionable.
QUESTION MARK
RON PRINCE'S PLAYCALLING
NONPRINCE'S PLAYCALEING
With seemingly nothing to lose after a dismal start, the K-State coach has thrown out the playbook and begun getting innovative, including running several trick plays in a victory over then-No. 3 Texas. But that game was different because nobody expected the Wildcats to win. Now that the expectations are on Prince, will he get conservative or continue the creative streak that has fueled his team's recent run?
NATIONAL GAMES OF INTEREST

BU
No.16 Oklahoma (8-2,5-1) at Baylor (4-7,3-4)
11 a.m.Saturday, FSN
The Oklahoma Sooners can move one game closer to a South Division title Saturday with a victory against Baylor. Oklahoma, though, still needs another loss by Texas to guarantee its spot in the Big 12 championship game.
While a Texas loss to Texas A&M in Austin seems unlikely, Oklahoma still has plenty to play for. The Sooners are playing for bowl positioning among several New Years Day games. If Oklahoma wins its last two games against Baylor and Oklahoma State, the Sooners are likely headed to the Cotton Bowl.
Baylor shouldn't be much of a problem for Oklahoma, considering the Sooners have been just fine without star running back Adrian Peterson. His replacement, Allen Patrick, has two 100-yard games this season.

Missouri (7-3, 3-3) at Iowa State (3-8,0-7)
1 p.m. Saturday
After starting the season 6-0, Missouri has lost three of its last four games. That rough stretch coincided with the beginning of conference play. In their first four games, the Tigers have struggled hanging onto the ball. Missouri has 12 turnovers in its last four games.
OHIO STATE
---
Dan McCarney closes out his coaching career at Iowa State on Saturday. McCarney resigned two weeks ago because of the Cyclones' struggles this season. Iowa State has struggled all season, but it hasn't helped that its offense has been hit hard by injuries and illness.
It's tough to say whether the Cyclones will be caught up in the emotion of McCarney's final game, but they could catch the Tigers sleeping. But with Missouri coming off a bye-week, expect the Tigers to control the game from the start.
MICHIGAN
No.2 Michigan (11-0, 7-0) at No.1 Ohio State (11-0, 7-0)
2:30 p.m. Saturday, ABC
The road to the BCS National Championship Game runs through Ohio Stadium Saturday, with the winner automatically advancing to play for the national title. The loser may follow to Glendale, Ariz., but that will be left up to the poll voters and computers.
The edge in one of the nation's best football rivalries would seem to go to Ohio State, because the Buckeyes are playing at home. But both teams have gone on the road and won big games — Ohio State at Texas and Michigan at Notre Dame.
Michigan has one of the best defenses in the country, allowing an average of just 12 points a game. Ohio State scores an average of 35 points a game. Expect the Buckeyes to squeak out a victory at home.

The Hypothetical Seven has traveled to Kansas City, Hays and other neighboring cities to put on shows and attend improvisation festivals. One of its most common destinations is the Westport Coffee House in Kansas City, Mo.
"There's not a big improv scene in Lawrence," Reynolds said. "Kansas City has a pretty decent scene."
Most of its shows consist of games, such as "countdown," in which the performers start with acting out a particular scene in 60 seconds, then
30 seconds, then 15 seconds, and so on.
"We try to learn the strategies of what makes a perfect game," Reynolds said. Performances also include showing films the group has made. Its next show should be as early as January.
Reynolds first got involved with improvisation when he auditioned for a spot in The Hypothetical Seven. He did forensics in high school, but describes improvisation as much more intense. He has also performed stand up, which has the same purpose of generating laughs,he said.
Auditions for The Hypothetical Seven are held at various times throughout the year. Students interested in the group can visit their Web site at http://www.hypotheticalseven.com or contact Reynolds at jayhawkpianoguy@yahoo.com.

Paul Hanson, professor of chemistry, was named the HOPE Award winner during the football game between Kansas and Kansas State on Saturday.
Hanson was one of six nominated for the award. The HOPE Award recognizes outstanding performance in an instructor.
Seniors at the University nominate the six candidates. The Board of Class Officers then chooses a winner after meeting and interviewing each of the nominees.
The other five candidates included Kerry Benson, lecturer in
journalism; Stephen Ilardi, associate professor of psychology; Dennis Karpowitz, associate professor of psychology; Mary Klayder, University Honors Lecturer in English; and Edward McBride, lecturer in civil, environmental and architectural engineering.
CORRECTION
An article in Thursday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article "Athletes arrested for alleged assault" should have said that John McDonald's court date had not yet been set.

Man's tracking device causes bomb scare
Causes Jumb Stare
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A small black object that was found on the bottom of a woman's sport utility vehicle, prompting three blocks to be evacuated, wasn't a bomb after all.
It was a Global Positioning System, said Sgt. Stephen Maynard of the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.
A temporary shelter was set up at the Queen of Peace Church to house 45 people who had been evacuated early Friday, while authorities investigated for more than two hours.
After learning the woman and her husband were going through a divorce, detectives discovered that the woman's husband had hired a private investigator. He admitted attaching the tracking device to the woman's SUV, Maynard said
Bomb technicians used a robot to confirm the box was a GPS, he said.

Students to cash in on new video game systems
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
KU students and Lawrence residents waited in lines, some outside in sub-freezing temperatures for up to 48 hours, not for the right to play the new Sony PlayStation 3 that went on sale Friday morning, but to sell it.
Jared Gab/KANSAN
Erik Oldberg, Blair, Neb., junior,
wearing a 'red hooded sweatshirt,
wrapped in a blue blanket with soccer
balls on it, waited in line outside
Best Buy, 2020 W. 31st St., for his
PS3. He anticipated reselling the
system for between $1,500 and $2,000.
The P33 retained for $599 for the 60 gigabyte version and $499 for the 20 gigabyte version.

At Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., Hai Chen, Olathe senior, said he was going to put his console on eBay the moment he got home. Chen had the advantage of selling his console before many in Lawrence. The 24-
Several people camp in Wal-Mart's lawn and garden department last Thursday in anticipation of the release of Sony's PlayStation 3, which became available Friday. The group began camping at noon on Wednesday.
wal Wal-Mart released the PS3 at midnight. He planned on offering the system at a "Buy Now" price of $3,000. He said he would ship it overnight Friday, and the person who bought it could start playing by Saturday.
Nearly 400,000 units were released by Sony and purchased in minutes following their release, but found their way on eBay almost immediately. Auctions listed the consoles anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000.
Lawrence locations received only a small number of PS3 consoles. Best Buy had the most with 26. Target, 3201 S. Iowa St., had eight for sale. Wal-Mart had six.
Not every purchaser was looking for a return on their investment. Taylor Davis, Olathe junior, said he would be up all night playing "Resistance: Fall of Man," a new Bluray game on his PS3.
"I've been waiting three years for
uns, I'm not waiting another few months," he said.
Wal-Mart also offered six rain checks. The rest of the public can expect to wait several weeks or even
months for the opportunity to buy the system.
Lawrence shoppers were fortunate that they didn't have to deal with the violence experience in some other
cities as some PS3 buyers. A man was shot in Hartford, Conn., after he refused to give up his money while waiting in line.
Chase Johnson, Lawrence High School senior, said the police showed up at Best Buy Thursday morning to restore some order to a line that was getting out of control. At Wal-Mart, Chen, the first in line, made sure everything was civil. He printed a sign up sheet and a list of rules.
His rules included not being able to save spots and only being able to leave for food runs and bathroom breaks. The crowd was rewarded with doughnuts from the store on Thursday morning for their "patience and good behavior," a note on the box said.
Davis was offered $1,100 cash for his PS3 as he was escorted to his car by a Wal-Mart employee after purchasing the console.
The weekend also saw the release
of the Nintendo Wii. The WiFi, available for the more affordable price of $249 was available for sale Sunday morning. Many had been waiting since Friday afternoon.
Ryan Green of Lawrence said the new Nintendo was a better system because its features weren't wasted on most TVs.
P35 has a lot of features that most people can't use," referring to the high definition graphics that can't be seen on non-HDTVs.
Green wasn't disappointed he was missing the Kansas vs. Kansas State football game to wait for his new Nintendo.
"This is better than football," he said.

KSU fan killed, another injured
ACCIDENT
SEAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lawrence police officers investigate the scene of a fatal accident involving a bus carrying Kansas State University fans prior to the Kansas vs. Kansas State football game Saturday. One person was killed and one was seriously injured, Capt. Zawemkolek confirmed.
BY MARK VIERTHALER
One Kansas State fan was killed and another fan seriously injured at approximately 11:30 a.m. at the intersection of 15th and Iowa Streets Saturday.
The accident involved two males riding the "Power Cat Bus," a booster bus from Manhattan that follows the Kansas State football team to away games.
The Salina Journal named the injured man as Salina resident Chris Orr.
Sgt. Paul Fellers of the Lawrence Police Department said the name of the deceased wouldn't be released because next of kin had not yet been notified. No other information was released Sunday.
Both lanes of traffic on northbound Iowa Street were closed as police conducted interviews with other riders of the bus to determine the exact cause of the accident.
Orr was being treated for a critical head injury at the University of Kansas Medical Center, hospital spokesman Dennis McCulloch said in a prepared statement.
"The family understands the public interest and concerns for his condition but request prayers and privacy," he said.

Long lines lead to extension for students to drop classes
ENROLLMENT
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Students who were unable to drop a class by Nov. 13 may have another opportunity next week.
Nov. 13 was the last day students could drop classes under the new drop policy implemented this semester. However, the Faculty Senate Executive Committee rules allow for students to petition for an extension if they are able to prove "extraordinary circumstances." The Committee determined the long lines, which some people were unable to wait in because of classes, constituted an extraordinary circumstance.
Students who can prove they were prepared to drop before the deadline can bring a signed drop slip dated on or before Nov. 13 to the Registrar's
office, 151 Strong Hall, on Monday, Nov. 27 or Tuesday, Nov. 28. Those students will be allowed to drop without having to petition.
Andrew Campbell, Wichita senior, successfully waited in the drop line, which he said stretched the entire length inside Strong and extended on to the sidewalk outside. He said he thought the extension was a great idea.
"I think it's fair considering the exceptional number of people who showed up to drop on the last day," Campbell said.

Law students collect food for local needy families
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Thousands of food items and hundreds of boxes were scattered around the School of Law building, Green Hall, on Friday and Saturday. University of Kansas law students spent hours this weekend organizing and distributing the food to local community agencies that would place the items in the hands of needy Lawrence families.
The KU Black Law Students Association sponsored the 16th annual Thanksgiving food drive. The BLSA worked with seven different local community service organizations such as the Salvation Army, Pelathe Community Resource Center, Women's Transitional Care Services and Eckan to bring holiday meals to those in need.
Jacy Hurst Moneymaker, BLSA food drive co-chair and Lawrence third-year law student, said the organization collected more than 4,000 food items from KU law students and
faculty for the past three weeks. The BLSA held a competition between the different law classes to entice them to collect the most.

Outgoing Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told Congress in June 2005 that "there isn't a chance in the world that the draft will be brought back."
Kansan staff writer Matt Elder can be contacted at melder@kansan. com.
"I think we can do this with an all-voluntary service, all-voluntary Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy. And if we can't, then we'll look for some other option," said Graham, who is assigned as a reserve judge to the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals.
In 2003, Rangel proposed a measure covering people age 18 to 26.
TRAVEL
Repeated polls have shown that about seven in 10 Americans oppose reinstatement of the draft and officials say they do not expect to restart conscription.
he worried the military was being strained by its overseas commitments.
MILITARY
Incoming chairman wants draft
This year, he offered a plan to mandate military service for men and women between age 18 and 42; it went nowhere in the Republicanled Congress.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who is a colonel in the U.S. Air Force Standby Reserve, said he agreed that the U.S. does not have enough people in the military.
"There's no question in my mind that this president and this administration would never have invaded Iraq, especially on the flimsy evidence that was presented to the Congress, if indeed we had a draft and members of Congress and the administration thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm's way," Rangel said.
At a time when some lawmakers are urging the military to send more troops to Iraq, "I don't see how anyone can support the war and not support the draft," said Rangel, who also proposed a draft in January 2003, before the U.S. invasion of Iraq. "I think to do so is hypocritical."
WASHINGTON — Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 under a bill the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee said he would introduce next year.
Rangel, a veteran of the Korean War who has unsuccessfully sponsored legislation on conscription in the past, said he would propose a measure early next year. While he said he was serious about the proposal, there is little evident support among lawmakers for it.
Graham said he believed the all-voluntary military "represents the country pretty well in terms of ethnic makeup, economic background."
Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) said Sunday he saw his idea as a way to deter politicians from launching wars.
Democrats will control the House and Senate come January because of their victories in the Nov 7 election.
"If we're going to challenge Iran and challenge North Korea and then, as some people have asked, to send more troops to Iraq, we can't do that without a draft," Rangel said.
He said having a draft would not necessarily mean everyone called to duty would have to serve. Instead, "young people (would) commit themselves to a couple of years in service to this great republic, whether it's our seaports, our airports, in schools, in hospitals," with a promise of educational benefits at the end of service.

Low river levels affect water quality $2 million pumps may be turned on
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Area utilities are concerned about the Missouri River's depth, saying they could have to turn on emergency equipment if the river drops a few more inches.
"We're about a quarter of a foot away from that point," said Tom Schrempp, production manager for Johnson County, Kan., Water District No. 1, where record lows at the district's water intake have left the suburban Kansas City district monitoring flows daily.
The problem is an unprecedented, long-term drought in the upper sections of the river. Water storage in the upstream reservoirs is at an all-time low, and some lake levels are 26 to 30 feet below normal.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers stopped water releases
for navigation early this fall to conserve water. It's releasing just enough water from upstream reservoirs to keep utility intakes in the Kansas City area beneath the river's surface, said corps spokesman Paul Johnston.

Added water pumps and other emergency equipment mean customers should have enough water and electricity, but that extra equipment and energy use increases operating costs.
"Consumers hopefully will not
Low water also adds to treatment costs.
"It's a whole new territory for us," said Schrempp, whose district spent $2 million in recent years to add pumps for low river conditions.
"We are seeing a lot more taste and odor in the water with it low." Schrempp said, "and we're having to add more powdered activated carbon to clean it up."
John Reddy, treatment plant manager for the Kansas City Water Services Department, said the river is only about a half foot above the level where auxiliary pumps will need to be turned on. Kansas City has wells, but they don't have enough capacity to supply the region's water needs, Reddy said.
"We are seeing a lot more taste and odor in the water with it low."
Hydrologist Tom Harris of the U.S. Geological Survey said river levels at Kansas City on Nov. 13 were about a half foot from record
lows set last December,

Forecast for the winter show a good chance for higher-thannormal temperatures and
below- normal precipitation in the Rocky Mountain and Great Plains headwaters of the Missouri River, said Brian Fuchs, climatologist for the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Neb.
If the drought doesn't ease, Johnston said, the 2008 navigation season might not happen, leading to low water conditions in summer as well as winter.

32 students receive 2007 Rhodes Scholarships
BY DAVID WEBER ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Parvinder Thiara had just finished his freshman year at Harvard University when his grandfather in India died of infectious diarrhea. The death affected him profoundly.
"Then I found that 2.2 million people — 1.8 million of them are children — die each year from infectious waterborne diseases," said Thiara, a chemistry major.
Thiara's work to improve and protect the world's water supplies — and prevent death's like his grandfather's — helped him become one of the 32 men and women across the United States selected as Rhodes Scholars for 2007. The
students, announced Sunday by the scholarship fund, will enter Oxford University in England next October.
Thiara, 21, of Rocelle, IL., is the co-founder of an organization dedicated to improving water sanitation technologies, particularly in impoverished regions.
"We're trying to develop natural products that can be grown and easily processed," said Thiara, who plans to study theoretical chemistry and water science policy and management at Oxford. "We're just trying to develop the means to make it effective on a rural, local scale."
The scholars were selected from 896 applicants endorsed by 340 colleges and universities, and will join scholars selected from 13 other
jurisdictions around the world. Approximately 85 are selected each year. The scholarships provide two or three years of study, with the total value averaging about $45,000 per year.
Rhodes Scholarships were created in 1902 by the will of British philanthropist Cecil Rhodes. Winners are selected on the basis of high academic achievement, personal integrity, leadership potential and physical vigor, among other attributes.
Many of the recipients have already spent time overseas.
Whitney Haring-Smith spent the summer working for a U.N.-funded disarmament program in Afghanistan and also spent time with the U.N.'s refugee agency in
Sri Lanka.
"It was really good to see the nitty-gritty of international relations," said Haring-Smith, 21, a Providence, R.I. native and senior at Yale University.
Zachary Manfredi, a senior at Atlanta's Emory University, interned in the democracy program of The Carter Center, working on civil society building programs and election monitoring in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cote d'Ivoire and Haiti.
"As a Rhodes Scholar I'll get to work on important political causes and also to keep asking important philosophic questions. It's a synthesis of my two greatest loves, justice and knowledge," said Manfredi, 21, of Rochester, Mich.
BIRTH CONTROL PATCH WARNING
The birth control patch may cause HEART ATTACKS, STROKES & BLOOD CLOTS
Recently, the FDA approved updated labeling for the Ortho Evra birth control patch, warning users that the Ortho Evra patch exposes women to higher levels of estrogen than most birth control pills.
Increased levels of estrogen may cause heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary embolisms, deep vein thrombosis (DVTs) or blood clots in women using the Ortho Evra Birth Control Patch.
If you or someone you know has experienced a heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis or blood clots while using the Ortho Evra birth control patch, you may be entitled to substantial monetary compensation.

Post-game celebration makes KU fans look featherbrained
Dear Jayhawk goalpost revelers:
Your featherbrained faux pas has relegated the goalpost celebration to meaninglessness after 6-5 Kansas beat 7-5 Kansas State on Saturday.
We are not surprised that your actions marked the first time this season that goalposts were torn down in the Big 12 Conference; you dopes disassembled them three times last season.
You have successfully embarrassed the rest of us with your lack of college football savvy. OK, the goalpost dismemberment was warranted after we beat Nebraska last season. But Kansas
State? The Wildcats beat Texas, but Kansas State is far removed from the Top 25.
You halfwits decided it would be a good idea to topple the posts when your team was favored by 2 1/2 points. OK, if Kansas beats Texas or Oklahoma at Memorial Stadium you dolts could fell the goalposts. But the celebration would mean nothing because you have made it a cheap novelty.
Instead of wasting time and money by ripping down the $10,000 posts, you should study the rivalry, about which you seem to know nothing. Here's a start: The Jayhawk football team has beaten the Wildcats two
umes in the past three years and we hold the all-time series record at 63-36-5.
You could have congratulated our team along with some other fans who rushed the field. Instead, you morons chose to commit your addle-brained act against the will of your booing fellow fans.
You fools make our school look ridiculous. Let's hope you numskulls find a classy way to celebrate next time.

Sam, like 18.8 million American adults and 15 percent of college students, is suffering from depression.
Depression an often misunderstood term, refers not only to a common period of unhappiness because of a minor setback in everyday life, but to a disruptive and dangerous illness.
Symptoms, often unnoticed by friends and family and even the individual suffering, vary by case and can include insomnia, fatigue, irritability, extreme mood alterations, forgetfulness, restlessness and changes in appetite. The condition also often results in physical symptoms such as digestive disorders and headaches.
Depression will be the most
common health problem worldwide in 2020 and the largest killer after heart disease, according to studies done by the World Health Organization. It contributes to coronary disease, alcoholism, substance abuse and the onset of other fatal illnesses.
The source of depression is not always clear, but can often stem from stressful or traumatic events such as death or divorce within family, childhood trauma, family history of the illness, chronic stress and anxiety, or a chemical imbalance where the brain lacks neurotransmitters such as serotonin.
Unlike other health problems, in which seeking medical attention is the most prevalent of solutions, 80 percent of those suffering from depression go untreated, leading to a 15 percent yearly suicide rate, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Sam clicks on the light by his night stand, slowly fumbles for his cell phone, which he has been ignoring for weeks, and punches in his girlfriend's number.
"Hey, what are you still doing up?" she asks in a drowsy but optimistic tone.
Sam takes a deep breath and slowly exhales into the phone, "I need help."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Fan behavior an embarrassment
I'm a University of Kansas alumnus who is proud of the school I went to — at least most of the time. I know when you're in college, it's easy to think you're in your own little world. But there's a whole other world out there that watches and judges what students in Lawrence do.
This business of tearing down the goalposts must stop.
It's times like Saturday's game when I'm not proud to represent the University of Kansas. The actions of those students are indefensible at this point. I just throw up my hands and say, "I know, I know."
from grace over the past few years, I would have expected that the students treat the victory like any other notch in the team's belt, and not some excuse to humiliate the more civilized fans who can handle a victory like grown-ups.
See, I live in Kansas City now, where there's a potent mix of not only KU supporters, but also Kansas State and Missouri fans.
They don't chide the University so much for the basketball team's first-round exits. No, they're far more critical of the fact that KU students insist on tearing down the goalposts after even the most marginal of victories.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find my atlas to figure out where Towson is so I can go vandalize some cars after the KU basketball game.
For as much as I hear KU fans
deride K-State football for their fall

COMMENTARY
DIELS ALDER

There used to be a time in America, a much simpler time, when white supremacists said what they really meant. In the 1960s, Alabama Gov. George Wallace made his case against racial equality by hiring a leading member of the Ku Klux Klan as his chief speech-writer. He campaigned for president in 1968 on a bluntly racist platform "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."
His speechwriter also coined several other, much less elegant catchphrases to describe his opponents. I'll leave those to your imagination.
trying to think of a way that the government has disproportionately benefited whites in this country, try looking around at who you're taking classes with. Despite the fact that the University of Kansas is a public institution, whites (most of them from wealthy suburbs) outnumber people of color nine to one.
Faced with the moral and political superiority of the civil rights movement, Wallace and his partners lost most of the battles they fought during those years, but they never allowed their racist vision of the future to die. In the years since his death, Wallace's spiritual descendants have taken that vision and scored major victories by adapting it to today's changed environment.
And if you think that those numbers are reflective of society at large, you might want to get out a little more often.
Case in point: Michigan's Proposition 2.
The spirit of George Wallace is alive and well in the 21st century. He just found a better speechwriter.

But in the confused language of present-day American politics, all is not what it seems. In reality, Prop. 2 was aimed at dismantling the last remaining traces of affirmative action from Michigan's public
If you missed it amidst all the other election news, Prop. 2 was a ballot initiative aimed at, in the words of its backers, outlawing "racial preferences" in college admissions. It passed overwhelmingly on November 7, with 58 percent of the electorate casting their ballots in favor.

KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
The argument against affirmative action is centered on the idea that non-whites do not have a rightful claim as Americans. It has been cloaked in the misleading language of "colorblindness" and "meritocracy", but the core doctrine of racism has remained.
If anything, affirmative action has never been able to go far enough. Black and Hispanic Americans, as well as a significant chunk of whites who have seen their living standards decline in recent years, still lag far behind in all the markers of equality employment status, income, homeownership, education level and so forth. Only by recognizing that we as Americans are responsible to one another — that we are all in this together — can these conditions be dealt with sufficiently.
life. No wonder the vast majority of whites supported it, while six out of seven blacks were opposed.
Until the initiative passed, Michigan had used race as one factor among many in determining who would be able to attend state universities. Like opponents of affirmative action everywhere, the sponsors of Prop.2 argued that such considerations of race actually end up discriminating against the majority group — that is to say, against white people.
By this logic, it is affirmative action that is inherently racist, while "colorblind" admissions based purely on academic achievement ("merit") are fair and just.
Affirmative action was and still is intended as a corrective to long-standing government favoritism toward whites in housing, employment and educational opportunities, among other things. These forms of discrimination stretch back decades and continue to this day. Viewed from this standpoint, "affirmative action for whites," as Columbia professor Ira Katznelson calls it, existed long before it did for blacks or anyone else.
Now, let's cut through the fat and recognize what this issue is really about.

Bush to be met with protests Indonesian demonstrators call president 'war criminal'
BY TERENCE HUNT ASSOCIATED PRESS
HQ CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam
BUSH
— Warmly greeted by world leaders in Vietnam, President Bush drew a different reaction Sunday at his upcoming stop in Indonesia, where thousands angrily protested America's policy in the Middle East and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
An Indonesian protestor shouts slogans during an anti-Bush rally in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Sunday, the eve of the planned visit of President George W. Bush.
The White House said it was confident about security precautions for Bush's visit today despite police warnings of an increased threat of attack by al-Qaida-linked grouns.
The president was to spend just six hours in Indonesia, most of it at Bogor Palace, a presidential retreat outside the capital of Jakarta and far from the scene of protests Sunday where Bush was denounced as a "war criminal" and "terrorist."
While President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is a close U.S. ally in the war on terror, Bush is highly unpopular in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation.
Wrapping up three days in Vietnam, Bush was taking a quick look around this city once known as Saigon. He planned to drop by the stock exchange, meet with business leaders and visit the Pasteur Institute for a briefing on its research on HIV/AIDS and other public health problems.
It was Bush's first appearance on the world stage since his Republican Party lost control of Congress and was rebuked for the unpopular war in Iraq.
approved.
The White House said Bush was pleased by the results of a 21-nation Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Hanoi although the administration was left struggling to explain how it ended.
To Bush's dismay, he was unable to deliver a promised agreement on normal trade relations with Vietnam. It was snarled in Congress but the administration expressed confidence it eventually would be
Vietnam's economy is booming, the fastest growing in Asia, and the country is the world's second-largest exporter of rice. But the benefits have not reached most people. The per capita income is less than $700 a year.
In a city usually teeming with motorcycle traffic, streets were cleared for Bush's motorcade. As he rode by, people waved, laughed and cheered. It was a contrast to the subdued reaction of residents in Hanoi, where Bush participated in the summit and conferred with the leaders of China, Russia, South Korea and Japan.
The White House pronounced itself satisfied with the summit
statement prodding North Korea to return to nuclear disarmament talks and urging nations to keep the pressure on by enforcing U.N. Security Council sanctions.
But the administration was at a loss to explain why the statement was simply read as part of the chairman's wrap-up statement, and not issued as a written document. Another oddity was that the section about North Vietnam was not translated into English when the statement was read.
"He read it in Vietnamese, but for whatever reason the translation was not given in the consecutive English translation at the time." White House spokesman Tony Snow said.

At 6-5 with one game remaining, the Jayhawks are eligible for postseason play for the secondstraight year.
Saturday's 39-20 thumping of Kansas State proved that the Wildcats don't have a monopoly on college football in this state any more. It also proved just how easy it is to get to a bowl game these days.
Too bad that's not an accomplishment.
Finishing a 12-game season with
six victories isn't great. It's not even good. It should be a requirement for any coach at a big-time school.
"We don't just want respectability anymore," coach Mark Mangino said. "We want to be contenders in the future."
It's an accurate statement of where things stand in the program. By defeating the Wildcats and making themselves bowl-eligible again, the layhawks have earned respect within the conference. However, being a contender will be a much bigger leap.
In the past decade, bowl games have changed from being a reward for outstanding teams to acknowledgement of average teams. This year, 64 of the 119 schools that field football teams will be invited to bowls — more than half.

bowl projections
With six victories, Kansas is not guaranteed a bowl, but these games have expressed interest in taking the Jayhawks:
Texas Bowl
Independence Bowl
The Independence Bowl In-Shreveport, La., on Dec. 28 pts a Southeastern Conference team against a Big 12 team. If Kansas defeats Missouri, it could be chosen to play in this game.
Formerly the Houston bowl, the Texas Bowl is Dec. 28 at Reliant Stadium in Houston. The game is a match-up between a Big East or Conference USA school and a big 12 school. If Kansas and Oklahoma State lose this weekend, the Texas Bowl would choose between the two teams.
Independence Bowl
Poinsettia Bowl
The Poinsettia Bowl is Dec. 19 in San Diego, the first bowl game of the year. If no Big 12-affiliated bowls take the Jayhawks, they may end up here.
Motor City Bowl
Motor City Bowl If Kansas is not chosen for the above three bowls, it could lobby to be chosen by the Motor City Bowl, which will have an at-large space available. This game is Dec. 26 in Detroit.
This game in Albuquerque, N.M., will be played on Dec. 23. Bowl representatives will be looking for a team if the Mountain West Conference or Western Athletic Conference are unable to produce a team with a good enough record to play.

Jayhawks don't overlook Towson Tigers, get easy victory
Kansas' defense was an obvious weakness earlier in the week, but last night it helped the Jayhawks pull away from the Towson Tigers.
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Playing the kind of defense it lacked in its loss to Oral Robers, Kansas got
back on the winning track, defeating Towson 87-61 in each team's first game of the Las Vegas Invitational.
Coach Bill Self said the team was making steps in the right direction, but quickly pointed out that the team should have been playing this well all season.
"We played better. Of course you can't play worse," Self said. "I don't think that we shouldn't get too excited about this, personally, because this is what you should do every night.
"Wed be undefeated if we gave effort like that every night."
Coming into Sunday's game,
Kansas looked like it could be in trouble. After allowing two Oral Roberts players to combine for 42 points, Kansas had to find a way to contain Towson guard Gary Neal, who went off for 41 points in his last game.
Neal managed to lead Towson in scoring with 17 points, but it took him 16 shots to do so. The Jayhawks also held him to 1-for-7 shooting from three-point range.
"It was good for our whole team to have to guard him because he's really, really good." Self said. "I don't know
Kan sas not only locked down Neal,
it contained the entire Tewno team:
what he doesn't do well."
In the first half, Kansas was on top of its game defensively. Towson committed 12 turnovers that half and Kansas capitalized, converting those turnovers into 23 of its 43 first half points.

Jayhawks look for victory after nine winless years

Kansas has not won in Omaha, Neb., since 1997.

Kelly Kohn and two other freshman are three of the four Jayhawks leading scors. Kohn has added a spark to the Jayhawk lineup, scoring a team-high 13 points against UMKC. Kohn and the Jayhawks look to break their lost streak in Omaha, Neb., when they play against Creighton today.
But the Jayhawks women's basketball team will take on the Creighton Bluejays today for the 18th time in the last 19 years. Kansas leads the all-time series 15-12 but has lost three straight at the Omaha Civic Auditorium.

T he Jay hawks' record stands at 2-1 following a dominating performance by freshman guard Kelly Kohn in their last game Kohn led
the team with 13 points against UMKC.
Three of the four jayhawks' leading scorers this season are freshman: Kohn, Danielle McCray and Sade Morris, who all average more than 6.5 points per game.
Bluejays return only one starter from last year's 8-21 team, Ally Thrall.
Thrall carries a 32-game streak with at least one three-point shot into tonight's matchup, a current NCAA best.
"We've been up there and not able to come out on the right end before, so we'll look to turn that around."
"We feel like when we are in there we have to make something happen." Kohn said. "That's why we are here."
"Thrall has hurt us for two years," Henrickson said. "She shoots really well."

T he e Jay haw ks have had the same starting lineup for all three games of the regular season. This could change tonight as sophomore guard Ivana
Catic played 31 minutes off the bench in the win against UMKC, and senior starter Shaquina Mosley played only nine.
Catic started 25 of 30 games at point guard last year and was expected to retain her position this year. So far Catic has had to contribute in a different way, but Henrickson is impressed by the way the co-captain has responded.
"That's a mature kid sitting on that bench," Henrickson said. "A selfish, immature kid can't give
you anything when they come in because they're so mad that they're sitting."
Catic is averaging 4.7 points a game and has five assists off the bench. She has played a total of
only 58 minutes on the season.
"If I can't start, I might as well play well when I can," Catic said, "I just have to make the best of what I've got."

K-State doesn't blame QB for loss
ENKER 16

Kansas State's Andrew Erker checks on his teammate Joshua Moore after a play, which left him injured. Moore was taken off the field by paramedics.
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Weeks ago, the Kansas defense was turning opposing quarterbacks into conference players of the week. On Saturday, it gave a conference player of the week nightmares.
Stuck in some kind of "bizarro" world, Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman never found a comfort zone and regressed to the quarterback held been earlier in the season.
Freeman was responsible for all six of Kansas State's turnovers, resulting in 31 of Kansas' 39 points. Interestingly enough, the Wildcats directed blame for the 39-20 loss everywhere but their young quarterback.
Kansas State coach Ron Prince said that part of his quarterback's forgettable performance might have been the result of it being "one of those days." He appeared to be more upset with the lackluster play of Freeman's supporting cast.
"A lot of people around him have to play well," Prince said. "That didn't happen, and we were a little bit out of sync, a little bit out of rhythm."
While Freeman's receivers didn't run perfect routes every play, and his blockers missed blocks occasionally, it's hard not to focus most of the blame on Freeman.
Take away Kansas State's first play from scrimmage — a 66-yard pass — and Freeman was a dismal 22-for-43 for 178 yards with three interceptions and three lost fumbles.
Nevertheless, even his teammates went to bat for him.
"I think Josh executed well when he had the chance" tight end Rashaad Norwood said. "That's pretty much it."
The key for Kansas was taking away Freeman's opportunities. Sophomore defensive end Russell Brorsen said the defense sent more pass rushers after Freeman as the game progressed.
The only reason the Jayhawks would have had any reason to doubt their game plan was what Freeman had done the last two weeks.
Freeman entered the weekend with back-to-back Big 12 Player of the Week honors and was voted
Cingular All-America Player of the Week for his performance against Texas last Saturday.
Freeman was looking at a possible third-straight week of accolades, facing the 12th-ranked passing defense in the conference and 117th-ranked out of 119 teams nationally.
But against Kansas, Freeman looked more like the quarterback he was his first four games as a starter when he completed only 49 of 114 passes and had seven interceptions and one lost fumble to zero touchdowns.
Freeman's relapse took Kansas sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib by surprise.
"He didn't look like a freshman quarterback on film," Talib said.
Freeman's struggles brought Kansas State's offense to a screeching halt. The Wildcats went the entire third quarter without a single first down. Again, Prince took the blame.
"It's my responsibility for how the ball moves," Prince said. "I obviously did a poor job of that, and I take responsibility for that."
Perhaps Prince's biggest mistake was neglecting running back Leon Patton. Not until an eight-yard run by Patton in the fourth quarter did Kansas State finally move the chains in the second half.
Patton carried the ball only 14 times, leaving Freeman to take most of the beating — a total of five sacks.
Bronsen gave Freeman credit for being tough to bring down, saying it took multiple shots to bring him down.
At times though, he resisted being sacked only long enough to cough up turnovers.
Still, Prince refused to blame his quarterback.
"I did a poor job, not Josh," Prince said. "He's a freshman quarterback. He's done unbelievable things for us. Everything he'd done for us, I consider a real blessing."

Fans boo as others tear down goalposts
BY C.J. MOORE
Kansas fans bring down the south goalpost after Saturday's 39-20 victory against Kansas State. Both goalposts were marched to Potter Lake. The crowd of 51,821 had mixed feelings. Some fans booed at others who took the goalposts to Potter Lake, while others celebrated on the field but wanted no part in bringing down the goalposts.
N
As the clock approached zero Saturday and the Rock Chalk Chant echoed through Memorial Stadium, it became obvious the goalposts were about to meet their eventual downfall.
Once KU quarterback Kerry Meier took the final snap and kneeled the ball on a 39-20 victory, fans rushed the field and celebrated by tearing down the goalposts ... again. This time, others stayed in their seats and booed.
"We rush any time we win it," said Ben Legler, medical student, who booed the fans for rushing the field after the game. "It's not good for the program. We beat K-State. We're just as good a team. We do that and we look like we're a bad team that shouldn't have won. It's not classy and I don't like it. I'm sick of it."
In what's becoming a tradition after a Kansas home victory, it was the fourth time in two years the goalposts were torn down Saturday. The record crowd of 51,821 gave mixed reviews to the celebration.
Nick Fisher, Basehor sophomore, celebrated after the game on the field but steered clear of the goalposts. A goalpost struck Fisher last year after a Kansas victory and he was on crutches for a week because of a bruised leg.
But Fisher said he is still OK with

"Bob Whitaker had his 47th start in a row. Poor Bob, he's got a couple bad knees, and then he got his ankle rolled up in the fourth quarter. He was limping off the field looking like a frog on crutches. But he's a tough son-of-a gun, and he's courageous, and he's meant a lot to our program."

the safety of the fans.
The KU Athletics Department has discouraged fans from rushing the field. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said he worried about
"I don't know which is more embarrassing," he said. "The fact that they ran on the field for the second time in three years after a victory over K-State or whether they continue to disregard the chance of someone getting hurt. Both are embarrassing."
Justin Martinek, Olathe junior,
headed for the exits instead of for
the field Saturday. Like Marchiony,
Martinek said he was embarrassed.
"I honestly didn't think it was going to happen and I'm kind of disappointed, because I don't think it's necessary," Martinek said. "We should go out and party. Celebrate with class and don't rush the field."
Saturday marked the first time a good portion of Kansas fans voiced their displeasure by booing for other fans tearing down the goalposts. Marchiony said he feels like that's a promising sign.
For fans like Fisher, they'd rather give the visiting fans a reminder of who won after the game.
"It's nice to rub it in to my Manhattan friends," he said.

Webb's big play demonstrates improvement
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
Just like after every game this year, freshman cornerback Anthony Webb got a talking to from sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib. This one was different, though.
Instead of getting on him for allowing a big play, he had something to say about Webb's touchdown celebration, which resulted in a 15-vard "taunting" penalty.
"He could have done a better dive if he was going to get the flag." Talib joked. "We're going to work with him."
The lighthearted atmosphere was a change from the mood earlier in the season, when the Jayhawks were feeling down after routinely being burned on long pass plays.
Webb's performance in Saturday's 39-20 victory showed just how far he and the rest of the defense have come this season.
Unlike most college cornerbacks, Webb didn't sit out his first year of college, instead he jumped right into the starting lineup because of a lack of depth. It wasn't a coaching gamble as much as it was a necessity: The Jayhawks had nobody else who could fill the position.
It wasn't just as simple as just
"It was hard, especially for me," he said. "I was giving up big things, but the coaches and players told me it was going to be all right. Everybody stuck by you."
getting the young players experience, though. Defensive coordinator Bill Young has tried to find the winning combination of players and plays all season. On Saturday he had success moving a receiver, senior Dominic Roux, to the defensive side.
Combined with a game plan that had a healthy mix of blitzing, not blitzing and semi-blitzing, everything came together for the jayhawks.
"Coach Young had everybody in the right place at the right time." Talib said. "For every formation they came out in, we had a good plan."
Unlike last year's group, which was mostly seniors, the Jayhawks can look forward to beginning next season with few worries about who will step up on defense. The only pass defender who graduates is safety Jerome Kemp.
As for Talib, the cornerback will likely hear from NFL scouts urging him to follow the path blazed last year by Charles Gordon. After the game, Talib extinguished that fire before it ever had an opportunity to ignite.
"We've got to play for the Big 12 Championship," he said. "I'm going to be a part of that next year."

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
all but assure a second-straight bowl game.
But bowl eligibility, or a seasonhigh three game winning streak, wasn't the biggest story from Saturday's game. Cornish was.
Coming into the game, Mangino had a two-fold game plan. The first part of that involved using Cornish — a lot.
He touched the ball 25 times for an average of eight yards a carry. It didn't matter whether it was up the middle or to the outside; Cornish had no problem shredding the Wildcats defense.
"Obviously too much Cornish," Kansas State coach Ron Prince said. "He's a terrific runner, we knew that coming in. We knew we were going to control the ball and do some things so that they couldn't work us over with him."
Going into the teeth of the Wildcats defensive line is where Cornish did most of his damage. His first touchdown run on the afternoon came straight up the middle.
But the Jayhawks did exactly that.
Once he got past the Wildcata first line of defenders near the 10-yard line, he was gone. Cornish ran basically untouched into the end zone for the touchdown.
One of the big reasons for Cornish's success against K-State was the play of his offensive line.
"I haven't seen them play a better game," Cornish said. "They were on all their blocks the whole night. Taking credit for my performance tonight would be completely wrong."
But thanks to his offensive line, Cornish moved one step closer to his goal — Kansas' single-season rushing record.
With his performance Saturday, Cornish now needs just 112 yards next week against Missouri.
And for that other part of the game plan, it involved stopping the Wildcat's rushing attack and forcing quarterback Josh Freeman to make plays.
Freeman turned the ball over six times — three interceptions and three fumbles. Those turnovers led to 31 Kansas points.
He couldn't and Kansas turned his mistakes into easy points.
"I only need 100 yards." Cornish said with a laugh. "I can walk to it."
But what forced Freeman into those mistakes was a lack of running game. Despite getting 102 yards from running back Leon Patton, which broke Kansas's streak of 23 straight games without allowing a 100-yard rusher, the Wildcats
"We had a real good game plan on what they tried to do," sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib said. "They try to keep things simple in regards to the plays they run. We seemed to have a plan for every formation they threw at us."
Coming into the game on a bye week, Kansas didn't seem like it would have the momentum, especially with K-State's upset of No. 4 Texas a week ago.
were unable to run the ball at key times. Without a running game, it put K-State in numerous third-and-long situations.
That forced Freeman to make plays himself, which more often than not, meant a Wildcat turnover.
But with bragging rights and a bowl game on the line, it was definitely a must win.
"I had no intention of letting K-State win this game," Cornish said. "If we had lost this game, it would be the ultimate disappointment."
They didn't. And now Cornish has a few new friends because of it.

IT WAS OVER WHEN
IT WAS OVER WHEN... Freshman cornerback Anthony Webb returned an Interception 42 yards for a touchdown. That touchdown put Kansas up by 17 points midway through the fourth quarter. Webb's dive into the end zone was flagged for excessive celebration.
GAME BALL GOES TO..
GAME BALL GOES TO... Jon Cornish had his best performance as a Jayhawk in his final game at Memorial Stadium. Cornish finished the night with a career-high 201 yards on 25 carries, with two touchdowns. With his big night, Cornish is 112 yards shy of the school's single-season rush record.
GAME TO FORGET...
Junior punter Kyle Tucker continues to struggle this season, after being named to award lists before the season. Tucker averaged just 35 yards on his two punts. Tucker, though, did land a roughing call that kept a drive alive.
GAME TO FORGET...
STAT OF THE GAME...
K-State quarterback Josh Freeman had six turnovers. Those turnovers eliminated any opportunity for a Wildcat victory because they led to 31 Jaiyahawk points. After being named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week In the last two weeks, Freeman certainly looked more like a freshman Saturday.

and seven receptions for 72 yards in the Jayhawks 39-20 victory against the Wildcats.
Also, the new trend is to never schedule a meaningful game against anybody early in the season. In 1996, Kansas played Ball State, TCU and Utah — all of which were nationally ranked. In 2006, Kansas played Louisiana-Monroe, Toledo and South Florida, and only South Florida will be making a bowl this year.
With four non-conference games, including one against a Division I-AA school, it's not unusual to enter conference play with three
victories. That means a team only has to go 3-5 in conference games to make a bowl. What other sport allows a team with a losing conference record to participate in the postseason?
How did this happen? To start, the number of bowl games has shot up as ESPN looks for more ways to avoid showing World Series of Darts re-runs.
The only Big 12 schools that won't be participating in a bowl this year are Colorado, Iowa State and Baylor. Colorado has a new coach, Iowa State fired its coach, and Bavior is, well, Baylor.
This doesn't take anything away from Saturday's victory — and Jon Cornish's superhuman rushing performance – but let's face facts: Jayhawk fans shouldn't be tearing down the goalposts after winning a game that Kansas was favored
to win and becoming the ninth of 12 teams in the conference to earn bowl eligibility.
PHILLIPS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Cornerback Aqib Talib pointed out that the Jayhawks should have made a bowl weeks ago, but let several close games slip away from them.
So celebrate a dominating victory that put the other Kansas school back in its place, but don't celebrate a second-straight year of bowl eligibility. It's time to start expecting that.

portunity to add another victory to their total by beating Missouri in Columbia on Saturday. Despite three red zone turnovers and allowing a special teams touchdown, the Jayhawks still found a way to dominate the Wildcats, who was flying high after their upset against Texas. Expect Kansas to find a fix to the mistakes and give Missouri all that it can handle on the road.
lowa State Cyclones and their retiring coach.Dan McCarney The Jayhawks, riding a three game winning streak, haven't blown a fourth quarter lead in nearly a month and and seem to have pulled it together much like last year's team did. The Jayhawks, with their new swagger, will make it four straight against Mizzou
Jack Connor
The Jayhawks, winners of three straight enter Columbia to face a reeling tiger squad if the Kansas defense can continue its improved play, especially in the secondary. The Jayhawks will have an opportunity to knock Mizzou off for the fourth straight year. With the elimination of careless turnovers, Missouri hans may be wondering whether Gov Pinkel's three-year contract extension came two weeks early.
Kayean Sainel
The Jayhawk have a good op.
As the season plays out, it's obvious that Missouri isn't nearly as good as it appeared during its 0-0 start and Kansas is better than it looked while stambling to a 3-5 record earlier in the season. In the Jagers last three games, the opposing running backs ran for an average of just more than 150 yards. Jon Cotpush will punch the Missouri frontline, leading the Jayhawks to victory.
Ryle Gutter
Missouri is breath off a loss to the peeky last place.
It is clear that the Kansas team we saw dismantle Kansas State is vastly superior to the team that looked embarrassing just a few short weeks ago. Freshman cornerback Anthony Webb has matted quickly to solidify the pass defense and the offensive line has continued to assert itself as one of the best in the conference. Fresh off of a daunting loss to Iowa State, Missouri could be in perfect position to lose once again in what has become an increasingly one-sided rivalry.

Arthur leads Jayhawks with 26 points in first start

BY C.J. MOORE
Darrell Arthur said he preferred coming off the bench, but he fooled everyone Sunday night when he made his first start against Towson.
Jared Gab/KANSAN
Darrell Arthur, freshman forward, hangs on the rim after slam dunking the ball. Arthur led Kansas against Towson with a season-high 26 points and eight rebounds.
The freshman forward scored an all-so-brief career-high 26 points and pulled down eight rebounds — also a career high — and might have earned himself a permanent spot in coach Bill Self's starting lineup.
"I don't know why'd I go back the other way right now." Self said.
"I thought he looked pretty good

had a one-handed dunk off a a miss by sophomore guard Brandon Rush in the first half and an acrobatic lay in following a Rush air ball in the second half.
Arthur seems to benefit the most from the Jayhawks up-tempo style this season. Kansas scored 31 fast-break points, two of which came off an alley-oop from junior guard Russell Robinson in the second half.
Arthur used easy opportunities like put backs to find his comfort zone early on in his first start.

tion from the post for the Jayhawks. It has been that way most the season and three games in, the freshman forward is the leading scorer for the Jayhawks at 20 points per game.
Arthur's performance could make it tough for junior center Sasha Kaun to find his way back into the lineup when he returns — even if that's what Arthur would prefer.

Towson shot only 34.6 percent from the field in the opening half.
The Tigers improved their field goal percentage in the second half, but the Jayhawks refused to let them back in the game, holding them to 1-for-6 from three-point range in the second half.
Junior guard Russell Robinson led the Kansas defense with five steals, and freshman forward Darrell Arthur, sophomore forward Julian Wright and Junior forward Darnell Jackson dominated the inside, combining for seven blocks.
The turnovers sparked an offense that took its time before pulling away from the Tigers. Against Towson's zone defense, Kansas spent too much time working the ball around the perimeter early in the game and forced many of its shots.
"The zone was kind of tough because we wanted to get into a running game," sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said. "We just had to slow it down, work through our offense and try to find open looks in the zone."
Midway through the first half, the Kansas offense finally found a rhythm. Between the 9:00 and 2:55 marks, Kansas went on a 20-8 run, creating a 13-point deficit that Towson could never overcome.
Arthur and sophomore guard Brandon Rush carried the Kansas offense for the first 10 minutes of the
first half, combining to score all of the lawhaws' first 17 points.
But it was freshman guard Sherron Collins and Chalmers who were the catalysts of Kansas' run. Collins jump-started the run with two straight three-pointers and Chalmers scored 11 of Kansas' points during the run.
Kansas' lead stretched as far as 29 points in the second half as the game transformed into a highlight-reel for the jayhawks. The victory gave the

Onlookers denied sight of 'wedding of the year'
ENTERTAINMENT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRACCIANO, Italy — In the end, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes" "wedding of the year" in this lakeside Italian town gave little satisfaction to fans closest to it.
"Tom and Katie, the invisible newlyweds" read the headline in Sunday's Corriere della Sera daily.
Fans and residents who assembled under the walls of the 15th-century Odescalchi castle where the celebrities exchanged vows in a Sciolentogy ceremony got to see none of it.
Cruise and Holmes, who arrived in separate vehicles Saturday, drove past the hundreds of fans gathered outside the castle's gates without
"I was hoping they would decide to show themselves," said Daniela Garroni, a 60-year-old resident of Bracciano. "After all, that would have been a courtesy."
stopping or even cracking open a car window. Holmes was briefly spotted standing at a castle window, but drew back immediately as soon as people began to notice.
Still, fans including families with small children, teenagers and the elderly persevered. Some even chose to get drenched rather than leave their spot in the middle of an afternoon downpour.
By early Sunday, all was quiet again and Cruise, Holmes and their guests had left, flying out of Rome for a honeymoon in the Maldives, Ciampino airport spokesman Adriano Franceschetti said.
"It would have been nice for the young ones," to see them, said Mirella Flammi, 62.
Holmes and Cruise became engaged in June 2005, about two months after they went public with their relationship, kissing and posing for photographers in Rome. Their daughter Suri was born April 18.
All to no avail. Even celebrity guests, who included Brooke Shields, Richard Gere, and Jennifer Lopez, staved away from the public eye.
Late night green, white and red fireworks from the top of the castle offered some entertainment to the town of 14,000 residents. The lavish display prompted cheers among the crowd and culminated with a
cascade of white lights that poured down the castle's walls.
Cruise, star of "Top Gun" and more recently the "Mission: Impossible" series and "War of the Worlds," was divorced from actress Nicole Kidman in 2001. Holmes, who starred in TV's "Dawson's Creek," and last year in "Batman Begins," had been engaged to Chris Klein.

Drained Jayhawks lose against Tigers Game two victory, close third game fail to build momentum

Senior libero Jamie Mathewson dives for the ball during Saturday's game against Missouu at Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Mathewson, along with the other four seniors, will be honored Wednesday night on Senior Night.

Kansas got out-blocked and out-played during a Border Showdown loss Saturday night. The Tigers used an 11-4 total block advantage to defeat the Jayhawks in four games.
Kansas had momentum heading into the intermission after winning game two, but Missouri out-blocked Kansas in game three, 4-0, winning a back-and-forth battle in extra points. The Tigers then cruised to a nine-point victory in game four to
defeat the Javhawks.
"We fought so hard in the third game," Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said. "We lost a little bit of energy in our fourth game. I think that was an issue, after game three, no energy."
Kansas (10-17, 3-15 Big 12) lost to Missouri (16-11, 10-8 Big 12) in the four-game match by scores of 24-30, 30-28, 30-32 and 21-30 at a sold-out Horesei Family Athletics Center. It is the eighth consecutive loss for the Jayhawks, who have two
matches remaining this season.
"I said before the match, 'If's Missouri, it's the Border Showdown," all of that," coach Ray Bechard said. "But, we've got to be able to look each other in the eye and say we played hard and gave a great effort. And we did."
Missouri got on an 8-1 run early in game one to take an 11-4 advantage. Kansas fought back to cut the deficit to four, 24-20. But the Tigers led by senior middle blocker Nicole Wilson's five kills, pulled away to
win the first game by six.
Kansas pulled the match even in game two led by team captains Corrae and Emily Brown, junior right side hitter. Corrae had seven kills and Brown put in five to help the Jayhawks win by two.
Each team had to work hard for every point in a highly contested game three as it went to extra points. The Jayhawks built the biggest lead of the game early, 17-12. Missouri bounced back with a 6-1 run to tie the match at 18. From that point, the teams switched leads until the Tigers pulled away by two, 32-30.
After the grind-it-out game three, Kansas lost its momentum in game four. Missouri built a 23-12 lead, and cruised to victory by nine to win the match.
"We had a spurt there in game four, kind of getting down on ourselves," Megan Hill, senior outside hitter, said. "But I thought we fought the whole game other than that stretch."
Hill had one of her better matches with 12 kills on .303 hitting efficiency.
It's not the ideal situation for Kansas to try to snap its eight-match losing streak as it takes on No. 1 Nebraska (25-1, 17-1) next. First serve is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Horeys Family Athletics Center. It will be Senior Night for the five seniors, Correa, Hill, Jamie Mathewson, Lindsey Morningstar and Dani Wittman.

Downtown store calls it quits
Fields Gallery closes after four decades, several makeovers
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
When owner Kim Kern and manager Sheila Wilkins were cleaning out Fields Gallery they found black light posters, "Keep on Truckin" stickers and Christmas ornaments. Those were reminders of how the store had evolved since it opened as Strawberry Fields in 1968. Now it is closing after 38 years of business in Lawrence.
SS
At 712 Massachusetts St., Strawberry Fields began as a headshop, selling incense, Eastern-style fabrics with intricate patterns, blue jeans, posters and records, among other things. The store had a barbershop in the back and a bar next door. People lived in the apartments above it.
Wilkins said Kern's store had gone through several changes, from the headshop into a Pottery Barn-style store, a framing store, a poster store and then a gallery.
"He's a creative person," Wilkins said of Kern. "The store's been a vehicle for expressing that. He's continually reinvented himself over the years and made this place interesting. I think it will be a loss for Lawrence."

CRIME
Bar altercation involves Kansas baseball player
Pitcher ordered to appear in court
BY DAVID LINHARDT
A bouncer, a current KU baseball player and a former KU baseball player will be sent to court after a late-night fight at a Lawrence bar.
Sophomore pitcher Andy Marks and former pitcher Sean Land were cited for battery after an altercation at The Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. 6th St., and ordered to appear in Lawrence Municipal Court. The bouncer involved in the incident was
cited but not identified by police.
The incident occurred Saturday morning when bouncers asked Marks and a friend to leave the bar after an argument, Kim Murphree, Lawrence police spokeswoman, said.
Police responded to calls about 12:38 a.m. and found two men and a bar employee in an alteration in the parking lot, Murphree said. No injuries were reported.
Zach Owen, a bouncer at The Ranch, said management told staff who worked that night not to talk about the fight to the media.
"These guys got out of hand and things got bad pretty quick," he said.

He said Marks continued arguing and one of them tackled Marks.
Marks could not be immediately reached for comment Monday.
Land said that as Marks and his friend were leaving, bouncers were "putting their hands all over" them.
Land said he tried pull the bouncers off Marks when four other men grabbed him and pinned him to the wall. An off-duty bouncer then punched Land in the face, he said.
"There was definitely excessive force here," Land said.
Management at The Ranch declined comment on the incident.
Land said the manager told him to leave unless he wanted to be arrested
Land said he wanted to stay until police came to press charges against the bouncers.

for battery. He said he and Marks left the building and a Ranch bouncer followed them out to keep Marks from leaving before police arrived.
"I was just trying to break it off," he said. "I didn't punch anybody."
Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said he hadn't heard
about the incident, but that he would look into it.
Baseball coach Ritch Price was unavailable for comment Monday.
Andrew Fennelly, an on-duty bouncer that night, didn't return calls for comment.

ACCIDENT
BY MARK VIERTHALER
Police have identified the Kansas State fan killed in an accident Saturday as Shawnee resident John Green and confirmed Chris Orr as the man who was critically injured. The occurred about 11:30 a.m. Saturday near the intersection of 15th and Iowa streets.
The two men were riding on the Power Cat Bus," also known as the "Cat Tracker Bus." According to a report released by the police on Monday, the bus was traveling north on Iowa with eight passengers outside on the upper level of the bus. As the bus passed under the Irving Hill Street overpass, the two men struck their heads along the underside of the bridge.
Monday afternoon police named Wamego resident Brent Simonson as the driver of the bus at the time
of the accident. Robert Pottroff was named as the owner of the bus, which had no official affiliation with Kansas State University.
Sgt. Paul Fellers of the Lawrence Police Department said the events leading up to the accident were still being investigated.
Orr, a former sports reporter for The Salina Journal, is still listed in critical condition at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Both lanes of traffic on North bound Iowa Street were closed as police conducted interviews with other riders of the bus to determine the exact cause of the accident.

Jamie Lamb, Rock Chalk executive director, said this year's event would showcase the stone age, ballroom dancing, phantoms and desert island themes.
All of the applicants submitted programs to the advisory board this past weekend after three months of preparation. Twelve judges were brought in to make the show's final selections, which included an interview and skit samples, at Liberty Hall on Monday night.
"Being at Liberty Hall and utilizing the stage for the presentation makes everyone feel like they are part of a big deal and something special," said Gregory.

The event's proceeds are donated to the United Way. In the past, between $30,000 and $50,000 has been raised. The show has been a tradition at the University since 1949
All members of the fraternities and sororites were required to volunteer at least one hour to charity work for their chapters to be represented in Rock Chalk Revue. Beginning next semester, the five acts will begin practicing for the event seven days a week. Participants will be expected
to volunteer one hour each weekday, and an hour-and-a-half each Saturday and Sunday. Performances begin at 7 p.m. March 8 at the Lied Center.

Tightwad bank to close, drew millions in deposits
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A small-town bank that drew $2.2 million in deposits from around the country because of its unusual name will close Jan. 31.
The Tightwad Bank opened on a shoestring 22 years ago in the small community along Missouri 7 halfway between Clinton and Warsaw.
Now, UMB Bank Warsaw, which operates the bank, is cutting costs and has urged customers to do their banking at its branches in Clinton and Warsaw.
Officials at UMB, a subsidiary of UMB Financial Corp, would not elaborate on the decision.
"I don't like it at all," said Tight-wad resident Linda Houk. "I'm not sure I'll leave my accounts at UMB."
Two months after the Tightwad Bank opened in May 1984, an article on it appeared in The Kansas City Times. Word began to spread.
"We were discovered," said Gene Henry, a Clinton banker who helped open the Tightwad Bank. "People would just nail us a check, Tightwad Bank, Tightwad, Missouri, sometimes with no ZIP code, and the post office, to its credit, found us."
Up to a dozen checks would arrive daily, each with a note asking for an account and a batch of Tightwad Bank checks, Henry said.
In two years, customers from near and far gave the bank $2.2 million in deposits.
The bank started as a branch of a Windsor bank whose chairman foresaw growth fueled by development around the then-new Truman Lake. Henry said some even envisioned Tightwad as becoming the next Branson.
But growth never came. Tightwad, population 63, has eight more residents now than when the bank opened.
Smelly towels offend city restroom patrons in Jackson
JACKSON, Wyo. — "Wet dog" and "stinky feet."
Those are some of the words being used to describe the odor of some paper towels that were stocked in restrooms across town
An investigation by the Jackson Hole News & Guide found the malodorous product at six businesses and in most of the 20 Teton County government buildings.
Melissa Shinkle, who works in the county clerk's office, said county employees didn't talk about the odor at first — but then it became a topic of conversation.
The source: High Country Linen, a business owned by Mayor Mark Barron, which distributed the smelly towels around town in
"It was like, 'Have you noticed?' When you wash your hands, they should smell nice, but they smell worse." Shinkle said. "It's gross."
September.
"When we got the reports, we dealt with them directly and immediately," Barron said. "We may have had five or six calls."
The company's manager, Eric Vic, said the towels were manufactured by SCA Tissue North America in Neenah, Wis. The company's vice president of manufacturing, Ron Thirty, said in a statement that "odors in our products are a highly unusual occurrence."
101-foot cigar to celebrate cigar shop's anniversary
TAMPA, Fla. — Cigar makers hope a 101-foot, 53-pound stole completed over the weekend is headed for the record books.
Wallace and Margarita Reyes, co-owners of Gonzalez Habano Cigar Co., put the finishing touches on the $5,100 cigar at the Cigar Heritage Festival on Saturday. Cigar makers worked for about 75 hours over several weeks to build it.
The Reyeses said the giant stogie marks the 85th anniversary of their cigar factory. They also hoped to beat a record 66-foot cigar made in Havana last year.
"I wanted to do something special," Wallace Reyes said. "I wanted to do something big."
Local officials documented the completed cigar so it can be submitted to Guinness World Records.
Free, clean restrooms open at Times Square for holidays
NEW YORK — Clean public restrooms are scarce in New York. Clean public anything is especially scarce in Times Square.
But this holiday season, the makers of Charmin toilet paper have built pristine public restrooms, which are set to open Monday in the middle of one the busiest intersections in the world. And they're free.
Even amid the flashing lights and dizzying colors of Times Square, the bathrooms are hard to miss. There's a huge glowing blue sign with the word "Restrooms" and an arrow. Take the escalators upstairs to the lavish waiting room with flat-screen TVs, a fireplace, a mini-dance floor for children, oversize teddy bears to play with and plush white couches.
About 30 workers will take turns cleaning the stalls after each use, officials said.
"It's going to be so clean, as clean as your home," said Adam Lisook, assistant brand manager for Charmin at Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co. "It's Charmin's holiday gift to families who are visiting, and who are from New York."
The restrooms will be open from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. seven days a week. They will be closed on Christmas Day and must shut, according to city rules, by Dec. 31.

Transit study results released
BY MARK VIERTHALER
Six months after research began into a coordination between KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Public Transit systems, a rough draft of the final recommendation has been made available.
Dan Boyle and Associates will present a pared-down version of its final findings Nov. 28 and 29 in public forums. Until then, Lawrence residents can view the first draft online.
All signs point to the recommendation of a consolidated system with a single governing body composed of equal representation from
the University and from the city. Students would make up half of the University's representation.
The 55-page report is available along with the results of the survey the group administered to riders including a transition plan, route profiles and public outreach activities.
"The purpose of the coordination would be to capitalize on what both systems have."
Go to kansan.com/bus to view the documents
Galante said he was interested in seeing what the city and University would do with the recommendations but that a large amount of student input would be considered before any decisions were made.
CLIFF GALANTE City public transit administrator
The most important factor to keep in mind,he said,was that both students and citizens were-getting a win-win situation.To do this, he encouraged people to visit the transit system's Web site to view the reports.
Cliff Galante, city public transit administrator, said after Boyle presented his final recommendations to the public, he would go before both the Lawrence City Commission and Provost Richard Lartviere with the same information. Both the city commission and the Provost would then decide what to do with the recommendations. "I really don't know what will come out of it," he said. "The purpose of the coordination would be to capitalize on what both systems have."
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of parking and transit at the University, said it was important to note that the document online was only the first draft. He said the final recommendations would be released at the public meetings.
Nick Sterner, chairman of the Student Senate transportation committee, said in a meeting Monday evening that the commission would discuss the final recommendation at a later date. Sterner said the commission would need adequate time to study and discuss the final recommendation.

School bus crashes, kills three girls
ACCIDENT
Driver, 30 students among injured following wreck in Alabama
Mourners attend a prayer vigil Monday evening, Nov. 20, 2006, at Life Church International in Huntsville, Ala., for victims of the fatal school bus crash in Huntsville earlier in the day. A school bus packed with high school students smashed on a guardrail along an overpass Monday and crashed nose-first 30 feet below, killing three teenage girls and injuring at least 30 other people, some critically, authorities said.
BY DESIREE HUNTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Glenn Baeske/ASSOCIATED PRESS
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — A school bus packed with high school students smashed through a guardrail along an overpass Monday and crashed nose-first 30 feet below, killing three teenage girls and injuring at least 30 other people, some critically, authorities said.
A car driven by another high school student apparently came close to or struck the bus, causing it to plow through the concrete rail on the elevated section of Interstate 565 and crash onto Church Street below, said Police Chief Rex Reynolds. Two girls died at the scene, and a third died at a hospital.
Students on the bus, which had no seat belts, were screaming when rescue workers arrived. "They were thrown all over the bus," said Fire Chief Dusty Underwood. Some had to be pulled from the crushed front of the vehicle.
More than 30 students and the bus driver were taken to Huntsville Hospital, which became a hectic trauma center with emergency physicians and staff called in to help as ambulances brought in the severely injured.

The damaged car was still at the crash site Monday afternoon.
Jefferson told the AP that before the crash, the passengers had been talking, joking and laughing. Then she saw a car speed by to the right, and suddenly she was flying across the bus, she said.
"The bus went to the side, and I guess it went over," she said. "When it was falling ... I was just glad when it hit the ground."
She said that if there had been seat belts on the bus, "most folks would not have gotten injured like this."
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the wreck. The agency has said that school buses are designed to protect occupants without the need for seat belts.

Transgender person addresses sexuality, acceptance
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
David Nielsen left his job as a high school librarian for the weekend and returned the following Monday as Debra Davis.
Davis, who has lived as a transgender person for eight years, told a group of about 75 KU students Monday night that it was important for everyone to accept people's differences.
"Everyone has closets and life becomes a whole lot easier when you come out of those closets," she said.
Davis spoke in honor of Transgender Day of Remembrance, which was Monday. The day is held in honor of a transgender woman who was murdered in Boston in 1998.
Davis said about 400 transgender people were murdered between 1971 and 2006.
Davis said she remembered playing house with the girls and wanting to wear girls' clothing as a child. She said she went through phases where she wanted to get rid of women's
Ta said he hoped Davis' speech would open eyes to what being transgender was about.
clothing and accessories and repress
thoughts of wanting to be a woman.
KU Queers and Allies sponsored the event.
In college, she was president of her fraternity. Davis said she went out of her way to be explicitly male to make up for the fact that she felt like a female inside.
Debra Davis, a transgender person, spoke to students Monday about accepting others. She said that everyone had closets they needed to come out of.
She worked in Minneapolis, Minn., as a high school librarian for 32 years and was married to a woman, with whom she had two children. After more than two decades of marriage, Davis decided to come out as a transgender person.
Davis said she had a completely successful transition into life as a transgender person.
She won't discuss whether she's had surgery. She said it's not important.
She said her family was very accepting. She remains friends with her ex-wife, and her children understood her change.
Kansan staff writer Anna Faltermeier can be contacted at afaltermeier@kansan.com.
"What's important is what's in your head."
"I was blessed. The vast majority of transgender people aren't," she said.
"They're discriminated against even by gays, lesbians and bisexuals in the KU community," he said.
Davis estimated there were at
least 300 transgender people at the University of Kansas. She said a lot of people confused transgender with transsexual.
She said a transsexual person is someone who gets surgery to physically change his or her sex and a transgender person is someone who feels conflicted about his or her gender.
David Ta, events chair for KU Queers and Allies, said transgender people were discriminated against at the University of Kansas.

Lawrence resident named next Kansas poet laureate
Low will become the state's second poet laureate beginning July 1.2007. She received her bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in English from the University of Kansas and a master's of fine arts in creative writing from Wichita State University,
The Kansas Arts Commission chose Lawrence resident and University of Kansas alumna Denise Low as the state's first female poet laureate Nov. 15.
She said the times at KU were periods for meeting an eclectic collection of poets such as Allen Ginsberg and Robert Bly.
"Growing up, I'd always been around poetry," said Low, interim dean of the College of Humanities and Arts at Haskell Indian Nations University. "My grandmother loved poetry. When I was young, I would come home to find her reading Asian poems."
The mission of the poet laureate is to develop a greater appreciation for the writing and reading of poetry. The two-year position was created by the Kansas Arts Commission.
"Dr. Low is a wonderful selection for our new poet laureate," said Governor Kathleen Sebelius in a press release. "I hope her exemplary work will inspire Kansans to further explore Kansas poetry and literature."
"The most important part in the judging, to me, were the candidates' plans to advance poetry in Kansas," Bird said. "She spelled out her plan of carrying on the work of our first poet laureate, Jonathan Holden, and proposed some interesting projects of her own."
Roy Bird, director of the Kansas Center for the Book, a division of the Kansas State Library, was on the panel that chose Low.
Holden established a series of readings and conversations by and about Kansas poets called "Shoptalk."

"Kansas poets, I think, are isolated, subject to extreme weather and they have an abiding sense of fellowship," Low said. "Someone once told me that Kansans are the best friends. They take their friendships very seriously. Poetry is about human relationships and in Kansas those relationships are deep. When you commit to a relationship it's a lifetime commitment."

Low said she thought Kansas was a wonderful state with wonderful poets.
Bird said the selection panel scored the six nominees based on their poetry excellence, professionalism and plans to bolster the reading and writing of poetry in Kansas.
"I want to bring people's attention to the miriad of Kansas poets," Low said. "There are so many fine communities and writers, so many native communities."
Low said it was a poet's job to synthesize culture in a specific community.

Man sentenced for meth manufacture in murder case
WICHITA - A federal Judge sentenced a Bronson man to 13 years in prison for his part In a drug conspiracy at the house where Greenwood County Sheriff Matt Samuels was fatally shot, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Billy G. Nowell, 37, pleaded guilty in August 2005 to one count of conspiracy to manufacture meth and one count of possessing
a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
In his plea agreement, Nowell said that he joined Scott Cheever, Matthew Denny, Darrell Cooper and Bellinda Cooper in making meth at the Hilltop home on Jan. 19, 2005. Nowell acknowledged he saw Cheever was armed and talked to him about the manner in which Cheever was brandishing the weapon.
Samuels was shot as he was about to go upstairs where the meth lab was located.

FIELDS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Wilkins said that the economic downturn following Sept. 11 contributed to a drop in art sales and that the art marketplace was altered by the Internet because artists were starting their own Web sites. The summer construction on Massachusetts Street was the last straw, she said, but more than that, Kern wanted to devote time to his own art at this point in his life.
Kern was unavailable for comment.
Lawrence resident Sven Alstrom, who graduated from the University in 1975, frequented Strawberry Fields. He said it was a popular place among many college students, especially his group of friends.
"Strawberry Fields was emblematic of counterculture," he said. "Strawberry Fields meant that there was another world out there besides KU and suburbia."
"The store was a physical embodiment of what was going on at the time, when Crosby, Stills and Nash ruled. It was a slice of life," he said.
Alstrom described the experience
of shopping at Strawberry Fields as an adventure. He described it as an "atmospheric place," referencing the incense that caught customers' attention as they walked through the door.
We went there because it was alternative," he said "It has to do with what makes Lawrence great. Lawrence has more tolerance for novelty and diversity than the rest of Kansas. Strawberry Fields' early success was recognized of that."
Lawrence artist Tim Forcade also remembers the opening of Strawberry Fields. He helped Kern move into the space and lived in one of the lofts located above the store.
"It was my living room," he said of Kern's store. "He had a barber chair I occupied on a regular basis."
Forcade began showing some of his photographs at Fields about a year ago after Kern asked him to.
Forcade said Kern's latest move — making Fields exclusively a gallery — was a courageous move in Lawrence to give up profit in hopes that the community would support it.
"They dedicated themselves to the notion of pure art," he said of Kern and Wilkins. "This community clearly wasn't interested."
Forcade and his colleague, Deb Stavin, another Lawrence photographer, are showing some of their work at the restaurant Pachamamas, 800 New Hampshire St., a showcase that Wilkins and Kern helped to organize before Fields closed.
Slavin said the closing of Fields was a loss for the city because it helped make Lawrence a well-rounded community and helped define it. Fields set a standard of showing art in Lawrence, she said.
Forcade said Lawrence was losing a place that everyone in Lawrence had shopping at some point.

STATE OF KANSAS
Sebelius emphasizes energy
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will focus on energy during her second term and named Mark Parkinson, lieutenant governor-elect, the co-chairman of the Kansas Energy Council to lead the way.
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Sebellius said she wanted to promote renewable energy production and energy conservation.
"Kansas has outstanding potential to produce renewable energy, both from wind farms and from biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel. But the progress we've seen these past few years is only the beginning." Sebelius said in a press release.
Sebelius established the council in June 2004. KEC is responsible for the state's energy plan and makes recommendations for long-term policies to the governor, lieutenant governor, legislature and Kansas Corporation Commission.
Sebelius asked the KEC to make
biofuel production a top priority as it seeks to promote energy production and conservation in Kansas.
On Oct. 26, Sebelius asked Ken Frahm, KEC co-chairman, to form another standing committee that would promote biofuel production. He named Rep. Carl Holmes (R-Liberal) as the new committee's chairman. Six legislators will serve on the new committee.
Frahm said Kansas' abundance of agriculture production such as grain, grain residue and animal waste helped generate biofuels.
"It gives us a competitive advantage over other places," he said. "We hope to learn more about it and to land that business."
But some experts aren't so sure.
But some experts are also Scott White, Kansas Geological Survey scientist, used to work on the KEC. White said he quit working for the KEC last December after the council decided to employ outside experts to conduct studies rather
than pay their original in-house staff. He said there was a place for biofuels, but his concern was that the state's aquifers were being depleted because energy plants required irrigated crops. He also said he couldn't imagine there was enough grain to feed the 110-million-gallon plants proposed for Dodge City.
According to the Kansas Energy Information Network, in Kansas there are seven existing ethanol plants, four are under construction and 16 are proposed for construction.
— Edited by Aly Barlan
Kansan staff writer Erin Castaneda can be contacted at ecastaneda@ kansan.com.
White said that the legislators might have an agenda as they looked out for their own districts, specifically in terms of jobs provided by the plants, but that the outcome depended on who served on the committee.

FOX cancels "I If I Did It"
amid a storm of criticism
NEW YORK — After a firestorm of criticism, News. Corp. said Monday that it had canceled the O.J. Simpson book and TV special "If I Did It."
"I and senior management agree with the American public that this
was an ill-considered project," said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. "We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."
A dozen Fox affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps-month special, planned for next week before the Nov. 30 publication of the book by
RanegBooks. The publishing house is a HarperCollins imprint owned
— like the Fox network — by News Corp.
In both the book and show, Simpson speaks in hypothetical terms about how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Goldman.

Richards responded to two black hecklers with the "n" word and profanities, said he was shocked by Richards' remarks.
"I'm sure Michael is also sick over this horrible, horrible mistake. It is so extremely offensive. I feel terrible for all the people who have been hurt."

》 OUR VIEW
Time for solutions,not sound bites
When Gen. John Abizaid, chief of the U.S. Central Command, visited the Senate last week, the nominal purpose of his trip was to answer questions of senators and address the increasingly strident public calls for withdrawal from Iraq. Unfortunately for him, Gen. Abizaid quickly became the victim of the latest round of semantic posturing by members of both parties.
Since the Democratic victory in the midterm elections, a war of competing talking points has
erupted. The Democrats speak of a "new direction" and a "change in course," while the Bush administration claims it welcomes "fresh eyes" but quickly denounces rival ideas as "nonstarters."
In the current atmosphere of scrutinizing media, shortened attention spans and wearisome attacks, the Iraq debate has devolved into little more than linguistic theater. Both sides try to stake out advantageous positions by designing ever more simplified sound bites, while in
the interim Americans and Iraqis continue to die in an increasingly gruesome conflict.
How did it come to this? When did political calculation supplant genuine discourse? When did the lives of Americans fall behind future election prospects in importance? We have for some time seen political concerns trump policy concerns, as in the 1995 government shutdown, but surely we have not had an issue of such drastic and mortal importance hanging in
the balance.
Now, students wonder if we are the only ones who see through this charade. The punditocracy invites party representatives on to various news shows, then sits idly by while the guests avoid answering real questions by offering tired platitudes about change and direction. The media become complicit in this political farce by pretending that these debates are meaningful, by ignoring the fact that the senators go straight to interviews
after the hearings to stake out one more political edge. Could it be that the cynicism of students, for so long lamented by government elites, has now become an advantage? Our jaded view of politics may be the very factor that allows us to see through this masquerade.
There is no more time for sham debates or affected gravitas. The period for political self-importance and profitable posturing is over, and we now know that illusory debates cannot replace
actual progress. The war presents real problems that require real solutions, and it is time that our leaders abandon the slogan war and focus on tangible, not linguistic, victories. Two roads diverged in Washington and our leaders took the one less consequential, and that has made all the difference.

COMMENTARY
Turkey and talking points
I have a few things to get off my chest, none of which will fill an entire column. So, here are some ideas to chew on over Thanksgiving break.
》 It's amazing how America has changed since the day before Election Day. Prior to Nov.7, American voters — and particularly Kansans, according to Thomas Frank — were too stupid to understand how to vote for their own general welfare. But since Election Day, they've been wise arbitrators of American policy, and they've shown their fine judgment by turning the oppressive Republican Party out of office.
A. K. M. S.
Prior to Nov. 7, we were still mourning the 2004 murder of American democracy at the hands of evil Republicans who had the gall to win elections. Today, American democracy has delivered a powerful victory to the heroic Democrats, just as democracy should. It's amazing how preferred election results can wipe clean the memories of formerly-indignant Democrats.

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
Speaking of the elections, I do have a silver lining for the Republicans on campus who are still sad at the loss of both houses of Congress: If Republicans had managed to pull out victories in the
House and Senate, there would be nothing to stop the anti-Republican sentiments throughout the country. Voters would have continued to dislike the Iraq war and other policies, and it would have led to a defeat in 2008 with Republicans losing the White House as well.
Now, Democrats have two years to misinterpret this election as a mandate for a liberal agenda and to shut down the government, which will remind voters why they don't particularly care for Democrats.
The same thing happened in 1994 when a similar election put the Republicans in power in both houses of Congress. Republicans went too far, and a previously unpopular President Clinton was victorious in 1996. I expect the same thing to happen with this election. Losing in 2006 gives Republicans a much better chance to win in 2008.
Most people now seem to be in agreement that the minimum
wage needs to be raised, but far too few people seem to understand what the argument is about. People see minimum wage increases as simply a raise for people earning low hourly wages with no side effects other than taking a few bucks out of the business executives' pockets.
It's important to understand that the issue, like every other issue, is a trade-off. Increasing the minimum wage decreases the demand for labor, which increases unemployment. An employee whose value to the company is less than the new minimum wage will be fired. So while the minimum wage might help those who keep their jobs, it has an even greater negative effect on those who lose their jobs.
The effect the minimum wage has on poverty is also questioned because most minimum wage earners are between 16 and 24, and almost 60 percent of minimum wage workers live in families that are more than 200 percent above the poverty line. So the biggest beneficiaries of raising the minimum wage are teenagers from wealthy families. It's much less of a poverty-fighting tool than it seems.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Wildcats and goalposts go (down) together
In response to those critics of felling the goalposts, consider this: Kansas is now eligible for a consecutive bowl game, the first ever in KU football history. If that isn't reason enough to warrant rushing the field, consider this: After high hopes of a great season ended after heart-breaking losses to Toledo, Nebraska, Okalahoma State and Texas A&M, few of us really expected to win three of the remaining four games in order to meet bowl eligibility. But then it happened. Todd Reesing
helped KU hang onto a fourth-quarter lead against Colorado. We rolled past the Cyclones. All that was left was a victory over K-State. And what a victory it was.
Certainly, rushing the field after last year's expected victory over Mizzou was unnecessary, even more so in light of our subsequent victories over Nebraska and Iowa State. However, tearing down the goalposts to mark the end of one of the longest losing streaks in college football doesn't seem unreasonable,
nor does rushing following a late-season overtime victory over Iowa State, qualifying the Jayhawks for a bowl game.
Tearing down the goalposts has become an important part of the KU football tradition following a great victory. Who can honestly say that Saturday's win over K-State wasn't one of those victories?

EDITOR'S NOTE
Jayplay plagiarism inexcusable
It seems like each semester I've been in a leadership position at The University Daily Kansan, we've discovered some instance of plagiarism in this paper.
Unfortunately, this semester is no different. Last Tuesday, as Jayplay editors Carolyn Tharp and Becka Cremer were preparing to send their pages to print, Cremer discovered an article with a passage lifted directly from a public relations Web site. While the passage was attributed in a quote from a person, it made the Jayplay editor and I nervous about the rest of the article.
BY JONATHAN KEALING
KANSAN EDITOR
EDITOR@KANSAN.COM
We reviewed the entire article, line-for-line, by pasting sentences into Google and searching for a match. Another passage popped up as matching word-for-word a portion of an article in AOL's Cityguide. The Jayplay editors pulled the article, written by Beth Breitenstein, and her personal essay, which was also slated to run. Well past deadline, they redesigned the magazine to incorporate those changes.
Wednesday morning, I asked them to begin a line-by-line review of all work Breitenstein has submitted to Jayplay and that had already been published. When that was completed, wed found two other passages taken from a Web site without any attribution and another instance of a passage taken word-for-word from a Web site, but attributed to a person.
After speaking with Breitenstein, Tharp and I concluded that she could no longer be a part of the Kansan staff. Breitenstein apologized for the information appearing in both articles and said she did not copy and paste the information. She did not, however, have an explanation for how the word-for-word reproduction could have occurred, except for pure chance.
Plagiarism is taken seriously by the Kansan and the School of Journalism. It's emphasized from the minute students begin taking classes and it's something no one will tolerate. While I wish we could stop every
Whether Breitenstein deliberately took the material or not can't be proven. The fact is, however, words appeared under her byline that were not her original idea and were not attributed. The fact is, her work did not comply with the standards of journalism we expect all of our writers to adhere to.
For that reason, she can no longer be a part of this staff.
While I'd like to think this is the last instance of plagiarism The Kansan will face for some time, I have a hard time believing that. What I do believe, though, is that the editors we have here will continue to ferret out plagiarism and deal with it when they find it.
instance of it, I know that, for some reason, students at this University try it and think they can get away with it.
Words are the currency of our craft. We expect everyone who works for The Kansan to know that, respect that, and work within those rules.

GEORGE WASHINGTON PRESIDENT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
U. S. Mint Director Edmund C. Moy, right, and Louise Roseman, a representative of the Federal Reserve, left, unveil the designs for a new series of Presidential dollar coins Monday during a ceremony at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington. The coins will enter circulation in 2007.
U.S. Mint releases new coin design
BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER
BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Can George Washington and Thomas Jefferson succeed where Susan B. Anthony and Sacajawa failed? The U.S. Mint is hoping America's presidents will win acceptance, finally, for the maligned dollar coin.
The public will get the chance to decide starting in February when the first of the new coins, bearing the image of the first president, is introduced.
Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison are scheduled to grace the coin in 2007, with a different president appearing every three months.
The series will honor four different presidents per year, in the order they served in office. Each president will appear on only one coin, except for Grover Cleveland, who will be on two because he was the only president to serve nonconsecutive terms. To be depicted on a coin, a president must have been dead for at least two years.
The idea of rotating designs borrows from the highly successful 50-state quarter program. Since its launch in 1999, this program has featured five state designs each year in the order the state joined the union.
The quarter program has been widely successful, introducing millions of people to coin collecting for the first time. The Mint hopes the presidential program will enjoy similar success, in part because of the bold designs on the new coins.
Those designs were being made public during a ceremony Monday at the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery, home of some of the famous paintings that served as models for the coins.
Copies of the designs were made available to The Associated Press in advance.
"These designs are beautiful and so eye-catching that a lot of Americans are going to do a double
take when they get them in their change the first time, $ ^{a} $Edmund C. Moy, the director of the Mint, said in an AP interview.
The coins will be the same size as the Sacagawea dollar — a little larger than a quarter — and the same golden color as the Sacagawea. The image of the president will be on one side and the Statue of Liberty on the other.
The images will be slightly larger than those on a quarter because space was freed up by moving some of the traditional wording such as "In God We Trust" to the edge of the coin. Edge lettering has not been tried on an American coin since 1933.

Brownback eyes presidential nod, shrugs off odds
Senator equates himself with Reagan
BY SAM HANANEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen.
Sam Brownback, who is considering a White House bid in 2008,
said Monday the Republican field has room for a "full-scale Ronald Reagan conservative" and pledged to make a final decision next month.
The Kansas senator said he was not discouraged from running by
the Democrats' strong gains in this month's midterm elections, including assuming majority control of the House and Senate.
Brownback has made several trips to Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan and other states that hold early presidential nominating contests. While national polls show McCain and Giuliani running strong, similar polls have shown Brownback in the low single digits.
"It does not make it less likely," he said in an interview.
He also has taken a prominent role in the fight against genocide in Sudan's Darfur region.
He dismisses the early surveys.
"I really believe that the basic conservative ideas and ideals were not repudiated. Our execution was."
SEN. SAM BROWNBACK Republican from Kansas
"I really believe that the basic conservative ideas and ideals were not repudiated. Our execution was."
Name recognition poses a more daunting challenge for Brownback. Arizona Sen. John McCain and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani have set up presidential exploratory committees. Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., also are weighing bids.
Brownback, who was elected in 1996, is a forceful foe of abortion and embryonic stem-cell research.
"I think there's room for a full-scale Ronald Reagan conservative in the field," Brownback said. "I fully agree that other people have much higher name identification than I do. No question about that. But I think what you have to look at is the policy positions they get out once you have an effective campaign."
"Where are my positions and others versus the base of the party?" he asked. "I think that is really the keything tolook at, particularly at this point in time where you haven't even had a campaign
and all of that polling is based on name ID"
Brownback downplayed the challenge of gaining national recognition while representing a small population state like Kansas.
Ken Ciboski, a professor of political science at Wichita State University, said Brownback hasn't yet attained the kind of stature he needs to gain a nationwide following.

"He could do well in certain pockets or Iowa and some other states, but I don't see him having this wide recognition as a Republican senator," Ciboski said. "I think it would be a major uphill climb for him to try to get the nomination."

'Hawks seek Vegas victory
Kansas can't overlook competition
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Editor's note: Kansan men's basketball writer Shawn Shroyer takes a look at the three opponents the Jayhawks will face during the holiday.
Tennessee State
Kansas will look to start its first winning streak of the season tonight when it takes on the Tennessee State Tigers.
Kansas bounced back from its first loss of the season, beating Towson in the first game of the Las Vegas Invitational. Tonight will be the Jayhaws' final home game of the tournament before taking off for Las Vegas.
Kansas showed drastic improvements against Towson. At halftime, Kansas had 23 points from turnovers to Towson's zero. The Jayhawks also displayed better perimeter shooting, making six of 12 three-point attempts in the first half. The problem was how those numbers dropped in the second half.
Although Kansas' starters didn't play as much in the second half, the Jayhawks added only 10 more points from turnovers in the second half, while giving up 14 to the Tigers. The Jayhawks shot six more threees in the
second half, failing to sink any.
Another area of concern for Kansas is that it still isn't winning decisively in the rebounding battle. Against a very small Towson squad, Kansas had only two more rebounds for the game. Dominating the boards won't get any easier against Tennessee State.
Despite losing its season and invitational opener, 87-69, to Western Kentucky, Tennessee State had more rebounds, grabbing 18 offensive boards in the process.
With 6-foot-11 center Larry Turner, 6-9 center Rashad Armstrong and 6-7 forward Clarade Matthews, Tennessee State's frontcourt prove troubles for Kansas.
But don't count on Kansas overlooking Tennessee State.
"How in the world could you be looking ahead after what happened the other night?" Kansas coach Bill Self said in his press conference prior to the invitational.
Ball State
Bail State is off to a good start under first-year coach Ronny Thompson.
The Cardinals are 2-0 head-

Rivalry fuels game
Jayhawks face off against longtime enemy Missouri Saturday
Make no doubt about it, Kansas will play its true rival this weekend.
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Sure, the Kansas State game is about in-state bragging rights. But the Missouri game is about much more.
"I think our fan base truly has a passion for the border rivalry," Mangino said during Monday's Big 12 Conference Football Coaches
"I'm not hung on this rivalry thing," Mangino said. "We're playing our rival next week."
Minutes after defeating K-State Saturday, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino dismissed talk about a Wildcat rivalry.
Kansas takes on Missouri 11 a.m. Saturday at Faurot Field in Columbia, Mo., in both teams' season finales. The game will be televised on ABC.
And just like that, Missouri week officially began.
Teleconference. "Our fan base views that as the No. 1 rivalry that we have."
The rivalry hasn't been much of one during the past few seasons. Kansas has won three in a row in the series by more than two touchdowns.
After losing to the Jayhawks in three straight seasons, Tigers coach Gary Pinkel said that wouldn't be his focus this week.
"I think you just focus on this year," Pinkel said. "You can't focus on the past, whether we won them all or lost them all."

The rivalry between the two schools has even spread into the record books. The 1960 game, a 23-7 layhawk victory, is in dispute because Kansas used an ineligible player. Kansas Athletics continues to cite the game as a victory, despite objections from Missouri.

The Jayhawks get ready to on the Tigers this weekend in their season finale. The game will be an intense showdown against the team coach Mang Markingo considers Kansas' biggest rival
Record breaking game
After his career game against Kansas State Saturday, Jon Cornish was named the Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week. Kansas' senior running back finished with 201 yards on 25 carries and two touchdowns. On the season, Cornish has 1,331 yards, good
for third all-time. He is just 111 yards shy of having the best season of any Jayhawks rusher. Cornish break that record this weekend against Missouri. He is averaging 121 yards a game this season.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
— Ryan Schneider
Head coach Bonnie Henrickson opted to begin the game with a three-guard set. Both sophomore guard Ivana Catic and freshman forward Sade Morris stepped off of the bench for the first time.
A new starting lineup led Kansas to a 60-47 victory against the Creighton Bluejays on Tuesday.
Jayhawk's defensive energy wins game against Bluejays
BY CASE KEEFER
Catic had a rough time on the offensive end with no points in 34 minutes on the floor but contributed in other ways with a team-high three steals. Hendrickson saw the benefits of both her overall teams and Catic's improved defensive play.
bench for the first time
The groin injury Morris suffered
at the end of the last game didn't
affect her. She had a game-high 14 points and team-high six rebounds.
"I thought our defensive energy was excellent tonight," she said, "We've definitely matured there."
The Jayhawks held the Bluejays
Kansas turned the ball over 18 times due to Creighton's aggressive full court defense. That's not a number Henrickson was concerned with, however, and actually said it could help her team in the long run.
to only a 25 percent shooting. The team also forced 26 turnovers, which translated into 22 transition points.
"There's a lot of good stuff to learn from that 40 minutes of pure press," she said. "We hadn't seen that yet this year."
Within the first minute of the game, freshman guard Kelly Kohn stole the ball from Creighton forward Sara Cain and turned it into two fast-break points.
Kohn continued to score 10 points in just over nine minutes to begin the game. Her shooting led the Jayhawks to a 24-1 lead with six minutes remaining in the last half.
"If you walk away really disappointed about one thing, that's it," she said.
Then, Creighton junior guard Ally Thrall had eight points, including two three-point shots, leading
the bluejays into the half down 36-18. Thrall is one of the nation's best shooters after making at least one three-pointer in 33 straight games.
In a night full of positives, one statistic was dishearingt to Henrickson. The Bluejays outrebounded the Jayhawks 44-29.
For the most part though,
Henrickson was pleased with her
team's first win in Omaha since 1997 and offered insight into what she was most thankful for this Thanksgiving.
"I'm most thankful that we will bear down and guard someone right now," she said.

fifth-largest in baseball history.
The contract is contingent on Soriano passing a physical, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced.

Wichita State enters Top 25
BY JIM O'CONNELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Shockers entered the rankings Monday at No. 24, their first appearance since Dec. 6, 1983. It comes following a victory Sunday against George Mason, their recent big rival.
The last time Wichita State was in The Associated Press' Top 25 its star player was Xavier McDaniel, and current coach Mark Turgeon was still in high school.
'It's nice when you haven't been ranked in a long time. It's good because I've watched programs build themselves up and get
national exposure and be in the Top 25," said Turgeon, the 41-year-old coach who signed a 10-year contract extension last April after leading Wichita State to its first NCAA appearance since 1988. "I'd rather be in the Top 25 in February as every coach says, but right now we're going off last year's success rather than an early season win over George Mason."
"We StandBehind Our Work, and WE CARE!" 842-8605 2858 Four Wheel Dr.
The Shockers lost to George Mason twice last season — at home in the regular season and then in the round of 16 in the Patriots' run to the Final Four. On Sunday, Wichita State (3-0) beat George Mason 72-66, a win that drew enough attention to move them into the rankings.
"We were a lot more fired up to play them than they were to play us since they beat us at home last year and then the NCAA tournament," Turgeon said.

K-State steps up as rival
But is Missouri really Kansas' biggest rival? I don't think so.
After Kansas defeated Kansas State, coach Mark Mangino told reporters, "We are going to play our rival next Saturday"
XUQING
On Saturday morning I woke up to a mobile home parked outside my window, blasting music and Kansas State cheers. Lawrence was infested with purple, much more so than the small contingent of black and gold in town during Missouri games.
Kansas State fans acted overly self-confident after their school defeated Texas, the Big 12's best football team this year. They probably wondered, "How in the world could the Wildcats possibly lose to the Jayhawks?" First, Kansas State isn't as good as they hoped. Second, Kansas is a lot better than they thought. And third, this is a rivalry, one that's about to take flight and surpass the Kansas vs. Missouri hatred within five years.
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
My father, a KU alum, was in town for the game and said Kansas vs. Kansas State was as fierce a rivalry as any in the country in the late 1960s. He said the rivalry was "nearly to the level of Auburn vs. Alabama," and made the Border Showdown "seem
like a love fest."
On the night before Kansas played Kansas State in football in 1970, my dad was drinking at a bar in Aggieville with a friend. A Kansas State fan yelled, "Anyone here for KU?" and his friend said, "Yeah." The Kansas State fan then punched my dad's friend in the face, skipping the trash talk and going straight to violence for no reason other than the fierceness of the rivalry.
But this fierceness took a nosedive in the 1990s because the outcomes were predictable. Kansas State dominated in football and Kansas dominated in basketball. The games were as easy to predict as KU students tearing down the goalposts on Saturday. But now, not so much.
Kansas football has won two out of three against Kansas State, and would've won three straight if its
ortense had performed last season in Manhattan. Kansas State can't take for granted that Kansas will be terrible, because that's just no longer the case.
And now, Kansas State is stepping on the toes of Kansas' basketball supremacy in the state. Not only did it defeat Kansas last season in Allen Fieldhouse, but it hired big-name coach Bob Huggins to turn its program around. Huggins already has recruited the nation's No. 1 recruiting class, according to Rivals.com. It won't be long until a Kansas State victory won't be shocking.
As soon as that happens, the rivalry will intensify to a level unknown by younger KU fans. Why? Because most in-state students and alumni know more Kansas State fans than they do Missouri fans.
Whether it is in football or basketball, the Wildcats will defeat the Jayhawks again and it will be hard to ignore because they live right next door.

Kansas welcomes Nebraska challenge
VOLLEYBALL
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team will play its final home game of the season against Nebraska, the best team in the country, and Jana Correa couldn't be happier.
"You know what?" Correa, senior outside hitter, said. "That's the best way to end out my career, to play the No. 1 team in the country."
Nebraska (25-1, 17-1 Big 12) comes in with reigning Big 12 Player of the Week Sasha Pavah while Kansas (10-17, 3-15) is currently riding an eight-match losing streak. First serve for the senior-night match is set for 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center.
While it seems like everything is working against the Jayhawks, Correa is eager to face the 'Huskers in her last match at the Horeksi Center.
"I don't want to play Baylor or Iowa State," she said. "I want to play Nebraska. I want to play well, it's my senior night."
And Correa thinks the Jayhawks
can beat the 'Huskers with some help.
"If they play well, we can win some games against Nebraska," Correa said. "You never know when the volleyball gods are on your side."
The volleyball gods were last on Kansas' side in 1975. Nebraska has won every match since and have a 76-1 all-time series lead.
Before the match, the five seniors on the roster — Correa, Jamie Mathewson, Megan Hill, Dani Wittman and Linsey Morningstar — will be honored.
Hill, a Lincoln, Neb., native, is looking forward to playing Nebraska.
"I'm so excited for senior night," Hill, outside hitter, said. "I think we'll give them a run for their money. Nebraska is definitely beatable, nobody is perfect."
Nebraska's undefeated season came to a halt two weeks ago when it lost a five-game match at Colorado.
Kansas lost a four-game match against rival Missouri Saturday, and will try to get a victory for the first time since Oct. 14 when it beat Baylor.
Nebraska coming into town, it is not an ideal situation for Kansas coach Ray Beard.
"We're the only one to blame for the second half," he said. "There's three or four matches in there that we thought we could've, should've won, but it is what it is."
With eight straight losses and No.1
Though the Jayhawks will not make the NCAA tournament, the senior class has put the program on the map.
This year's senior class is the only class to make it to three consecutive NCAA tournaments. Before 2004, Kansas had never received an invitation to the NCAA tournament.
Kansas closes out the season against Kansas State (10-18, 2-16) on Nov. 25 in Manhattan. The Jayhawks beat the Wildcats in a four-game match earlier this season at home.

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
ing into their second game of the Invitational. Ball State beat Prairie View A&M 65-48 Sunday night and will play Tennessee-Chattanooga tonight.
Ball State is a small team with only one player over the height of 6-5 who has played significant minutes 6-10 center Micah Rollin.
This thin frontcourt could allow Kansas freshman forward Darrell Arthur to have a field day. Arthur is leading Kansas scoring — 20 points per game — and is third on the team with 6.3 rebounds per game. In his most recent game, he scored 26 points in 27 minutes, nabbed eight rebounds and blocked three shots.
The scary thing is, Arthur's teammates don't see a limit to how good he can be.
"The sky. There's no ceiling for his potential." Wright said.
Ball State doesn't rely on any single player to do its scoring. Coming off the bench, forward D'Andre Peyton is leading the team with 14 points per game. Guards Steve Horton and Jon Perryman are tied for second on the team, averaging 12 points per game. Forward Anthony Newell is the only other Cardinal averaging
double figures, scoring 11 per game.
Florida
Ball State has played good defense thus far, holding opponents to 25 percent shooting from three-point range. Kansas shot 50 percent from the three line in the first half of its last game, sparking the offense. It will need to do the same on Friday.
Last week, Self stressed how important it was for this Kansas team to find an identity.
On Saturday, No. 10 Kansas will get a good idea of what it's up against from defending national champion Florida.
Weeks ago, Kansas might have been favored to win this matchup, but missing frontcourt players and a loss to Oral Roberts have changed the situation.
"We haven't earned what people thought of us," Self said of preseason predictions about his team. "We've earned what they think of us now."
There was plenty of preseason hype surrounding Florida as well, and the Gators have lived up to it. Ranked No. 1 in the nation, Florida enters its game with Prairie View A&M tonight at 4-0 and will play
Coach Billy Donovan's team trounced Tennessee Chattanooga. 93-44, in the opening game of the invitational and has dominated all of its opponents this season.
Western Kentucky on Friday.
Florida has been winning games by an average margin of 37.2 points. Kansas showed an improved defense on Sunday, but it must continue to rapidly improve to keep up with a very deep Florida team.
"Can we become great defensively? Absolutely," Self said.
The top six scorers for Florida are averaging a combined 64.2 points per game. Forward Al Horford, a 6-10, 245-pound beast, leads the team with 14.3 points per game. Center Joakim Noah, Florida's 6-11 poster child, is close behind, averaging 12.5 points per game.
Scoring isn't all the Gators can do.
Florida has nearly two assists for every turnover it commits, thanks in part to guard Taurean Green, who has 16 assists to four turnovers. On average, the Gators are out-rebounding opponents by 10 per game. Noah alone averages nearly 10 per game. Horford has been an intimidating
inside presence with 10 blocks on the season, and Florida has 22 more blocked shots than its opponents.
The Las Vegas Invitational final will come down to matchups. Junior guard Russell Robinson and the rest of the Kansas backcourt should be able to contain Green and the rest of the Florida backcourt. To Robinson's credit, he has 18 assists to four turnovers and has twice as many steals as Green.
But in the frontcourt, Florida has far more size and depth than Kansas. Arthur and Wright will have to create mismatches and junior forward Darnell Jackson will have to hold his own against Horford.
For Kansas to find success against Florida, it must retain the same mentality it had against Towson.
"We had a lot of energy and focus, and we just got back to having intensity and paying attention to detail," Wright said.

KU KICKOFF
ATAGLANCE
Kansas enters Saturday's game at Missouri on a season-high three-game winning streak. After losing its first four Big 12 games, Kansas has now won three in a row to become bowl eligible. The Border Showdown Series against Missouri has become one-sided during the past few years. Since losing his first meeting with the Tigers, coach Mark Mangino has now won three in a row against Missouri. A victory Saturday would guarantee the Jayhawks a bowl game for the second straight season. A loss and Kansas will have to hope to be picked up as an at-large team.
5 QUICK FACTS
112 yards needed for Jon Cornish to break KU's single-season rush record.
3 — straight victories against Missouri.
10 turnovers forced by the Kansas defense in the past two games.
116 all-time meetings between the Jayhawks and Tigers.
2 Kansas' place in the North Division with a victory.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Senior running back Jon Cornish. The Big 12's leading rusher needs just more than
Cornish
Cornish
100 yards to break Kansas' single-season rushing record. Cornish rushed for 201 yards during Saturday's victory against
Kansas State. He currently ranks third on the school's all-time list, behind June Henley and Tony Sands. Considering the Tigers give up more than 135 yards per game, expect Cornish to easily break the record.
QUESTION MARK
KERRY MEIER — While Kansas' quarterback managed the game against Kansas State just fine, but turnovers in the red zone continued to plague the offense. Meier had two interceptions against Kansas State, including one in the end zone. The problem with the interceptions is Meier continues to stare down his receivers. The passes were telegraphed, making it easy for a corner or safety to read Meier's eyes.
GAME DAY
TAMETIGERS Missouri looks to snap losing streak
KANSAS VS. MISSOURI 11:00 a.m., Saturday, Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium, ABC
Kansas
Offense
Despite two interceptions, Kansas rode Saturday on the back of running back Jon Cornish, who finished with a career-high 201 yards against K-State. Running Cornish allowed Mangino to control the clock and set up the play action pass for quarterback Kerry Meier. With Meier struggling for accuracy, it might be best to let him run the football more. The fake handoff play to Cornish is usually good for at least six yards. The same game plan should work against the Tigers. If Kansas can run the football and control the clock, the Jayhawks can clinch a tie for second in the North.
KU KU
Missouri
Offense
Sophomore quarterback Chase Daniel and Junior running back Tony Temple provide the one-two punch for the Missouri offense. Daniel passed for 310 yards against Iowa State last week - the second time he's passed for more than 300 yards this season. Temple averages about 73 yards per game, good for fourth-most in the Big 12 Conference. As a team, Missouri is sixth in the conference in total offense, right in front of Kansas.
Gary Pinkel finally seems to have found a quarterback who flourishes in his systern, and that makes him more dangerous to Kansas than he ever was with Brad Smith leading his offense. Missouri has had success against quality opponents this season and will be prepared to face Kansas.
TRENDY CARS
Kansas' young secondary has grown up quickly. The pass defense continues to improve as the Jayhawks secondary gains experience. One big reason for their success is the addition of Domlinic Roux. A former wide receiver, Roux switched to defense and has brought important experience at safety. He also plays corner, giving freshman Anthony Webb a rest. If the defense can continue to turn turnovers into points, the Jayhawks will be tough to beat in Columbia.
Defense
Missouri has had as much success creating turnovers as its offense has had giving them up – Missouri has a zero turnover differential.
More importantly, though, Missouri's defense has done an outstanding job of stopping opponents from scoring. The Tigers defense is second in the Big 12 in terms of scoring defense with 198 total points given up this season, an average of only 18 points per game. The defense has allowed the third-fewest yards per game, averaging about 308 yards per game. Missouri ranks high in most other defensive statistical categories.
Leading the defensive unit is senior linebacker Marcus Bacon. He leads the team in tackles with 88 and in turnovers with five, including three fumble recoveries and two interceptions. The Missouri defensive unit is stout, having given up more than 25 points just twice all season. Missouri is marginally more effective against the run, but overall brings a

How quickly things have changed for the Kansas football team. Just a month ago after another fourth-quarter collapse at Baylor, the team's season appeared to be finished. But now with three straight victories, the Jayhawks have qualified for back-to-back bowl games for the first time in program history. With coach Mark Mangino's recent success in the Border Showdown, Kansas should have as much momentum as it has had all season heading into Columbia Saturday. While the season has been disappointing because of the number of blown victories, a victory Saturday would make this Mangino's most successful season.

Momentum
Missouri calls Saturday's match a blackout game everyone who's attending the game for the Tigers is encouraged to deck themselves from head to toe in black. That being said, the Tigers are sorely lacking in momentum. They've lost four of their past five games and have a history of falling to the Jayhawks. Missouri lost a heartbreaker to Iowa State last week, which may be a source of inspiration for the Tigers. Failing that, this team will practically crawl into the game, rather than march into it with pride in its accomplishments this season.

MU KICKOFF
AT A GLANCE
What's the hallmark of a Gary Pinkel-coached team? Hot streak. Cold streak. Missouri is in the middle of an ice cold streak right now. After starting the season 6-0, Missouri has lost four of its past five games, standing at 7-4, begging to go to any bowl but the Independence Bowl. No one likes Shreveport and Missouri has been sentenced there twice in the past two years. Missouri will likely be steamed after losing to Iowa State on a blown holding call at the one-yard line. If Missouri wins on Saturday, it will be the Tigers' first victory against the Jayhawks since 2002.
5 QUICK FACTS
258. 3 - yards per game of total offense for QB Chase Daniel, good for a No. 7 overall national ranking.
35 - consecutive games Rimmington Award candidate Adam Spieker has started. He's expected to hit 36 on Saturday.
24 - turnovers Missouri has forced, which is equal to the number of turnovers Missouri has given up to its opponents.
11 - weeks Missouri was either ranked or receiving votes in the USA TODAY/Coaches poll
19 - teams nationally that played a tougher schedule than Missouri this year.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Sophomore quarterback Chase Daniel. As the replacement for Brad Smith, Daniel has exceeded most of Missouri's expectations. He leads the Big 12
Daniel
Conference in total offense and is among the tops in the nation. Daniel has completed nearly two-thirds of his 345
passes and has thrown just 10 interceptions. He's also found the end zone 22 times through the air. Daniel has effectively stepped into the big shoes left behind by Brad Smith.
QUESTION MARK
THE KANSAS FACTOR — Gary Pinkel hasn't exactly had success against Kansas. In his first season as coach at Toledo, in 1991, Pinkel lost to Kansas 30-7. As Missouri's coach, Pinkel is 2-3 against Kansas. The game has huge postseason implications for both teams, but Missouri would also like to end Kansas' recent dominance in the Border Showdown.

Texas A&M (8-3, 4-3) at No.11 Texas (9-2, 6-1)
Friday, 11 a.m., ABC
The Texas Longhorns look to clinch the Big 12 South Division with a victory in Austin Saturday. Texas has won its past six meetings with the Aggies.
It was announced Monday that Texas quarterback Colt McCoy would start Friday after suffering a stinger against Kansas State two weeks ago. With McCoy in the lineup, the Longhorns were 8-1, with their only loss coming to No. 1 Ohio State. Having McCoy back in the lineup should help Texas against an A&M team that has lost two in a row.
Despite A&M's strong rushing offense, expect the Longhorns to roll at home. Texas has too many weapons on offense to expect A&M to keep up.

Nebraska should have no problem handling a Colorado team that has struggled to score all season. The Buffaloes rank dead last in scoring offense, averaging Just 16 points per game. In contrast, Nebraska has finally taken to Callahan's West Coast Offense.The'Huskers are scoring more than 33 points per game.

Oklahoma has a chance to clinch the South Division with a victory and a Texas loss to Texas A&M. Kansas fans need an Oklahoma State loss to help the Jayhawks bowl chances. With a Cowboys loss and a Jayhawks victory, Kansas could sneak up to the Insight Bowl.
The Sooners have faired well without star running back Adrian Peterson. Oklahoma hasn't lost since a loss early last month to Texas in Dallas. Although Oklahoma State has pulled for a few upsets in the Bedlam Series, the Sooners have too much to play for.

Campus Coke machine prices to increase
Photo Illustration by Amanda Sellers
BY NATE MCGINNIS
When students return from winter break this year, they will be greeted with a belated holiday gift. The price of Coke bottles in on-campus vending machines will have risen from $1 to $1.25.
The increase was decided by the Coke Partnership Committee, a group of University officials who oversee the presence of Coke products on-campus.
Horen said Coke prices had not

risen on campus for seven to eight years and the committee wanted to make Coke prices comparable across campus.
Students are able to purchase Coke for $1 in the vending machine but are charged $1.19, not including tax, at an on-campus convenience stores, such as the Hawk Shop.
Horen said she was initially against the price increase, asking the committee to place Beak 'Em Bucks card readers on machines before raising prices.
Next semester Beak 'Em Buck card readers will be placed on the five most-used machines on campus for a trial run.
Quinton King, Virginia Beach,
Va., senior, said he typically bought two to three sodas when studying for several hours in the library. Despite the price increase, King said he was unlikely to purchase less soda on campus because vending machines were the most convenient.
"A quarter's really not that much more, it's the principle I guess they shouldn't change it," King said.
Emily Herold, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said she seldom bought soda because it was unhealthy, but she would usually buy it from a vending machine because it was a better price than at a convenience store.

Date set for roof-falling trial
Family of student suing homeowner
BY DAVID LINHARDT
The trial date is Feb. 27, 2008.
A KU student's lawsuit will go to trial against homeowners from whose roof the student fell in October 2004.
Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild ruled last week that Sara Driessel and her family could proceed in a civil trial against David, Misti and Kyle Jones. Driessel fell Oct. 24, 2004, from the roof of a house the Joneses own at 1045 Tennessee St.
Driessel was a Lenexa freshman and McCollum Hall resident at the time of the accident. The fall crushed her right wrist, fractured her left leg and caused seven skull fractures. She tumbled from a roof three stories high and struck a second-floor window before hitting the ground. She had gone up on the roof to smoke a cigarette.
Driessel still cannot walk, talk or feed herself, according to court
filings. These documents also state that she requires around-the-clock care and continues to experience severe seizures. She has undergone numerous neurosurgeries after the head trauma her fall caused.
Neurosurgery left her brain with a massive infection and swelling on the right side. Court documents state Dr Dressel has accumulated more than $1.6 million in hospital bills.
The Driessel family and their attorney, Lee Hardee of Dezube Miller LLC in Overland Park, did not return calls for comment last week.
The City of Lawrence cited the Joneses for not having a railing around the accessible area of the roof of the Tennessee house after the accident. A private home inspector had not told the Joneses that they needed to install a railing.
The Driessels' lawsuit alleges the Jonesses were negligent in allowing people to live and socialize in a

'Mature'documentary features Phelps family
BY BEN SMITH
In a room filled with picket signs declaring "You're Going to Hell" and "God Killed Your Kids," about 30 members of the Westboro Baptist Church watched as images of themselves picking flickered across the screen.
"They were watching "Fall From Grace," an objective student-made documentary about the controversy surrounding Fred Phelps and his church's religious ideologies. The film will be shown at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Ryan Jones, Wichita senior and a film studies student, spent two years carrying a camera around the state, chasing after Phelps' followers who were carrying multicolored protest signs proclaiming "God Hates Fags" and other controversial messages. Jones filmed the group protesting on the KU campus and at the funerals of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq.
Jones recently submitted the documentary for consideration for the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. The festival will announce which films are selected next week. An earlier version of the film won the KU Department of Theatre and Film's Tensie award for best student project of the 2005-2006 academic year.
It was Jones' goal to educate people about the congregation and try to help his audience better understand their situation.
"The knee-jerk response is to act out," Jones said. "I do not support their beliefs in any way, but I do support their right to say these things they believe."

Spotlight on Organizations
KU Environs
BY MEGAN HIRT
Members of Enviros want to fit a little green between all the crimson and blue at the University of Kansas.
Last year Environs successfully campaigned to get funding for a campus Sustainability Center, which will support the efforts of various KU academic departments
KU Environers formed in 1984 and has a current membership of about 80 students. Reiz said the group's goal was to make the University a sustainable community: One that is able to meet its present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.
"The focus of our group is being kind to the environment." Nicole Reiz, Environs president and Wichita senior said. "And we have fun at the same time."
working to improve the environment. Reiz said that the new center would be a place for people in different fields of study to unite through a common interest in the environment. The center will open next semester and likely be located in Wescoe Hall.
Environs is currently focused on raising awareness about the effects of constructing a coal-fired power plant in Holcomb, located in southwestern Kansas. Reiz said the proposed plant would omit 14 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. Members of Environs voiced opposition to the plant at public hearings and Reiz said the organization plans to meet with Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to discuss the negative impact the plant would have on Kansas.
"There are much better alternatives," Reiz said of the intended plant.
Environs advocates the use of wind energy, and Reiz thinks this environmentally-friendly option would not jeopardize the number of jobs the plant would create for Kansans.
Showing the community the value of living green is another of Environs' goals. The group sets up informational displays on campus throughout the year to show how environmentally practical habits, like turning thermostats down two degrees, are also financially beneficial.
In February Environs will host an environmental education event for middle school students in Lawrence. Then in April the group celebrates, Earth Day by holding a recycling audit at Wesco. Members scour the building's trash cans, and Reiz said that usually about 60 to 80 percent of the trash could be recycled. The audit brings attention to just how many discarded goods are actually recyclable.
"Awareness is a really big part of helping the environment; just knowing what you buy, where it comes from, and where it goes." Reiz said.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2006
Students who want to get involved with Enviros should contact Nicole Reiz at nreiz@ku.edu. The organization meets every first and third Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the English Room of the Kansas Union.
When saving the planet becomes exhausting, Environs members unwind with group camping trips and pot-luck dinners.

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
Studio class earns recognition House of the Year award given to design project
From small projects to entire houses, Dan Rockhill's studio class has drawn national attention, most recently winning Home of the Year from Architecture magazine.
"I came here 26 years ago and we barely had a shop," said Rockhill, professor of architecture and urban design.
Rockhill's studio class of 20 students not only designed the house, modular3, but also picked out the Kansas City, Kan., site and built the house during the Spring 2007 semester.
"It's a very comprehensive experience that has a lot more to do with every aspect of the business than just putting nails into a two-by-four," Rockhill said.
The studio is a not-for-profit corporation that receives no financial support from the University of Kansas. They usually teamed with a community development corporation — El Centro, Inc. this year
— that paid for the building of the house, he said.
The studio class has built eight houses total, five in Lawrence and three in Kansas City, Kan.
All three of the Kansas City houses, which the students built in
a warehouse, were sold before they were completed, Rockhill said.
The houses are constructed in a warehouse in Lawrence and then moved to the site in Kansas City.
Two years ago, modular1 won Home of the Year from Architecture magazine.
Rockhill said it was gratifying to win the competition for the second time in three years, especially because the studio competed against professional architects.
John Gaunt, dean of architecture, said the Home of the Year award given to modular3 showed how successful the project has been.
"To design and build a house as sophisticated as this one is during the course of an academic year is a really difficult thing to do," he said.
Unexpected delays often occurred, such as inclement weather or building materials not coming in on time, he said.
"It's a rare instructor who has the level of experience and the real hands on know how to get this stuff done and the authority to get it across to the students," he said.
Trevor Chalmers, Cheshire, Mass., alumnus, said the studio project was one of the reasons he came to the University for graduate school.
Chalmers said he and the other students in the class worked anywhere from 12 to 16 hours a day on the house from Jan. 3 to the second week in May.
Teamwork was an important aspect of the project and the group had few problems, Chalmers said.
"We had to redesign our house because we lost the site and we had to come together and redesign the entire house in a week," he said. "This is probably the single most intense thing that I've ever done."
Chalmers said the project taught him some important lessons.
"One of the big things that we all learned was you can't just throw some two-by-fours together and expect to have a house and have it work." he said.
The students figured out how to build a house, as evidenced by modular3 winning Home of the Year from Architecture magazine.
"It's definitely a big deal," Chalmers said, because professional submissions were allowed from across the U.S.

house that presented such a danger. The homeowners' son, Kyle Jones, lived in the house at the time of the accident.
The house had "gained a reputation as a party house" according to court documents, but at the time Drissel fell only a few of Kyle Jones' friends were there.
The lawsuit also alleged the Joneses were negligent in allowing people under 21 to drink in the house.
Paul Hasty, attorney for the
Joneses, declined to elaborate on how he hoped to proceed in the trial or why the date was set for more than a year away.
"I do not discuss my client's business with the press at all," Hasty said.
Hasty had asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit earlier this year, but Judge Fairchild denied the motion.
The Jones family could not be reached for comment last week.

Matt Jacobson, associate professor of theatre and film, said he thought the film would do well on the national and international stage, even if it doesn't make it through the fierce competition of Sundance.
"This documentary has a range of style and footage that really sets it apart," Jacobson said. "It's rare for a student to produce a feature-length documentary — and rarer still for it to be as mature and compelling as this one."
Fred Phelps and his followers are the focus of "Fall From Grace" by Ryan Jones, Wichita senior. Jones submitted the documentary to be considered for the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

Jacobson said that it would have been easy for someone to do a film poking fun at someone such as Fred Phelps calling them "an easy target."
"Ryan made what I think is the harder choice," Jacobson said. "He make a documentary that goes

SHOOTING
Police officers open fire at three unarmed men, kill one
ASSOCIATED PRESS
W
Adam Rountree/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rev. Al Sharpton appears at a rally and vigil outside the Mary Immaculate Hospital in the Queens borough of New York, Sunday. Trent Benefeld, 23, Joseph Guzman, 31, and Sean Bell, 23, who were attending a bachelor party at a Queens strip club were shot by police officers early Saturday.
NEW YORK — An angry crowd demanded Sunday to know why police officers killed an unarmed man on the day of his wedding, firing dozens of shots that also wounded two of the man's friends. Some called for the ouster of the city's police commissioner.
At a vigil and rally the day after 23-year-old Sean Bell was supposed to have married the mother of his two young children, a crowed by the Rev. Al Sharpton shouted "No justice, no peace." At one point, the crowd of a few hundred counted off to 50, the number of rounds fired.
"We cannot allow this to continue to happen," Sharpton said at the gathering outside Mary Immaculate Hospital, where one of the wounded men was in critical condition. "We've got to understand that all of us were in that car."
Some in the crowd called for the ouster of Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, yelling "Kelly must go."
Paul Browne, chief spokesman for the NYPD, said Sunday, "We are continuing to look for additional
witnesses to shed light on the incident, and assisting the district attorney's office with its investigation."
The five officers were placed on
vors were Joseph Guzman, 31, who was shot at least 11 times, and Trent Benefeld, 23, who was hit three times. Guzman was in critical condition Sunday and Benefeld was stable.
Relatives of all three men — many of them stoic, and some crying — attended Sunday's vigil but none spoke publicly.
The shootings occurred at about 4 a.m. Saturday outside the Kalua Cabaret, a strip club where Bell's bachelor party was held. The survivi-
At a news conference Saturday, Kelly said the department was still piecing together what happened, and that it was too early to say whether the shooting was justified.
The car, driven by Bell, was struck by 21 of the police bullets after the vehicle rammed an undercover officer and hit an unmarked NYPD minivan. Other shots hit nearby homes and shattered windows at a train station, though no one else was injured. Police thought one of the men in the car might have had a gun but investigators found no weapons. It was unclear what prompted police to open fire, Kelly said. It was also not clear whether the shooters had identified themselves as police, Kelly said.
Kelly said the confrontation stemmed from an undercover operation inside the strip club in the Jamaica section of Queens. Seven
officers in plain clothes were investigating the Kalua Cabaret; five of them were involved in the shooting. According to Kelly, the groom was involved in a verbal dispute outside the club and one of his friends made a reference to a gun. An undercover officer walked closely behind Bell and his friends as they headed for their car. As he walked toward the front of the vehicle, the car drove forward, striking the officer and a nearby undercover police vehicle, Kelly said. The officer who had followed the group on foot was apparently the first to open fire, Kelly said. That officer had served on the force for five years. One 12-year veteran fired his weapon 31 times, emptying two full magazines, Kelly said. Bell backed the car onto a sidewalk, hitting a building gate, authorities said. He then drove forward, striking the police vehicle a second time, Kelly said.
The police department's policy on shooting at moving vehicles states: "Police officers shall not discharge their firearms at or from a moving vehicle unless deadly force is being used against the police officers or another person present, by means other than a moving vehicle."
BUSINESS
More shoppers take advantage of discounts
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Retailers got what they wanted during the Thanksgiving weekend — a strong start to the 2006 holiday shopping season as consumers crowded stores in search of huge discounts on flat-screen TVs and other hot merchandise.
Stores and malls that opened as early as midnight on Friday drew a bigger-than-expected turnout, and robust sales for the first day of the season offset slower business as the weekend wore on, according to early reports.
The biggest winners appeared to be electronics chains such as Best
Buy Co. Inc. and popular-priced department stores including J.C. Penney Co., which pulled in shopers with good deals. Yet Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which promised the most aggressive discounting ever, was an exception, announcing Saturday that same-store sales for November will be slightly below its already lackluster forecast. Wal-Mart has struggled for months to appeal to both higher-income shoppers and low-price fans.
The question for the retail industry overall is whether the bargain hunters who raided stores for early bird specials during the weekend will have the same zeal as they shop
between now and the end of the season, when the discounts may not be as steep.
As for Black Friday, C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, speculated that Wal-Mart customers might have looked only for special offers and so didn't shop the entire store. A clearer picture of how retailers' sales fared during the Thanksgiving weekend will emerge Thursday, when merchants report monthly sales results for November.
"Consumers wanted bargains, and more bargains," said Beemer. "You have to give the customer what they want at the price they want."

Beatle's widow wants day of world-wide healing
NEW YORK — Yoko Ono is calling for the anniversary of the death of her husband, John Lennon, to become a day of worldwide healing.
In a full-page advertisement appearing in Sunday editions of The New York Times, Ono urges readers to mark the anniversary by apologizing to those who have suffered because of violence and war.
"Every year, let's make December 8th the day to ask for forgiveness from those who suffered the insufferable," writes the former Beatle's widow, who signs the letter Yoko Ono Lennon.
Ono urges readers to take responsibility for failing to intervene on behalf of victims around the world.
"Know that the physical and mental abuse you have endured will have a lingering effect on our society," she writes in a portion of the letter directed to victims. "Know that the burden is ours."
Ono was with Lennon when he
was gunned down as he returned
home from a recording studio on Dec. 8, 1980. The shooter, Mark David Chapman, remains in New York's Attica state prison. His fourth request for parole was denied last month.
Of her own loss, Ono says: "I don't know if I am ready yet to forgive the one who pulled the trigger. ... But healing is what is urgently needed now in the world.
"Let's wish strongly that one day we will be able to say that we healed ourselves, and by healing ourselves, we healed the world."

'Kramer' says he doesn't consider himself racist
NEW YORK — Michael Richards said Sunday he did not consider himself a racist, and said he was "shattered" by the comments he made to two young black men during a tirade at a Los Angeles comedy club.
Richards appeared on the Rev. Jesse Jackson's nationally syndicated radio program, "Keep Hope Alive," as a part of a series of
apologies for the incident. He said he knew his comments hurt the black community and hoped to meet with the two men.
He told Jackson that he had not used the language before.
"That's why I'm shattered by it. The way this came through me was like a freight train. After it was over, when I went to look for them, they had gone. And I've tried to meet them, to talk to them, to get some healing," he said.
Richards, who played Jerry Seinfeld's wacky neighbor Kramer
on the TV sitcom "Seinfeld" was performing at West Hollywood's Laugh Factory last week when he lashed out at hecklers with a string of racial obscenities and profane language. A cell phone video camera captured the outburst, and the incident later appeared on TMZ.com.
Richards told Jackson the tirade was fueled by anger, not bigotry. He said, "I was in a place of humiliation."

》 OUR VIEW
Federal plan would help students choose right school
Making the decision of which college to attend is difficult. It's challenging to see how colleges stack up against one another, academically or otherwise. A plan by U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings may provide information that would help students compare schools before making a decision.
The plan would allow students to track the success of students who have already graduated and find the numbers that are often hidden by universities. Information such as cost of different institutions, graduation rates and student surveys would be components of the federal database.
The more information available to students seeking a college education should help the sagging number of students completing a degree. Only 34 percent of students attend college and only 17 percent complete a college degree, according to the Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. Providing more information on costs and success rates could motivate more students to earn a degree.
Colleges may be apprehensive about such an idea, but transparency in this case would benefit students. Students should expect something in return when out-of-state students are paying more than $14,000 a school year on tuition alone.
When families can check
which schools provide the best value for their dollar then more students could realize the possibility of attaining a college education. Gauging the success of a university through its students would only help universities attract students.
University presidents should not see this as a type of ranking system like those used in college football and basketball. It should be seen as more of an evaluation to determine how schools can best serve their students. Hiding such information goes against serving students.
Louis Mora for the editorial board.
COMMENTARY
Education needed to fight prejudice
This summer I traveled with a study abroad tour, and there were certain situations that I felt were inappropriate. Months later, I spoke with the instructor privately, and I diplomatically explained to him that I was dissatisfied with the trip. Regardless of whether or not my feelings about the trip were correct, I was surprised when a few days later he sent out an e-mail to our group Listererv, revealing what we had discussed confidentially and writing that I needed to grow up and suck on a "soy sauce pacifier."
The entire experience humilized and frightened me beyond belief. I couldn't believe that I had angered an instructor enough for him to publicly disclose our conversation and to attack我 in front of my peers. Even now, many weeks later, I wonder, what should be done when someone reveals his or her ugly side in public? Should we easily forgive and let go? Or are these sometimes subtle, sometimes frightening prejudiced emissions an indication of a larger problem in society that needs to be addressed?
Former Seinfeld star Michael Richards was in the news recently for his racist tirade against two African-American hecklers at his comedy show. He obscenely stated, "Years ago we'd have you upside down with a f—ing fork up your ass ... He's a n—!" It was unnerving to see him release his anger in such a hateful way and pathetic to see a once-beloved actor reveal his true character to be bigoted.
Richards later apologized on the Late Show with David Letterman. He appeared uncomfortable and

broken as he tried to excuse his rant. He explained that he said those hateful words in the heat of the moment and not because he harbored racist feelings. The two hecklers, Kyle Doss and Frank McBride, did not accept the apology and have commissioned high-profile attorney Gloria Allred to represent them. Seeking financial compensation may not be the right answer and may actually detract from the offensive event, but it was disturbing, nonetheless, that Richards' "apology" wasn't a real apology but an excuse, and a poor one at that.
Rage, whether directed at a dissatisfied college student or two hecklers at a comedy club, can reveal as much about a person's character and inner thoughts as alcohol, but it is as foolish to completely blame rage for one's words or actions as it is to blame alcohol. After all, emotions and alcohol only tear down inhibitions. They do not create new philosophies. These emotional or drunken revelations should be addressed and dealt with, not forgotten quickly.
The fraternity boys in the movie Borat are but another example of prejudiced people exposing and embarrassing themselves with their
own words. These boys made a series of drunken sexist and racist remarks, and later sued the filmmakers. The filinmakers may have been unethical, but no one told the boys to speak about having sex with women and never calling them again. No one told them to degrade women to the status of "hoes" and "bitches." No one told them to say that "our country should have slaves" and that "minorities have the upper hand, especially the Jews."
These different ordeals have taught us the importance of eradicating hate within ourselves. It may be too idealistic of me to say that we should completely banish prejudices within ourselves because, realistically, human beings may always harbor some ugly feelings. The best we can do is try to better oursels through multicultural education and through our willingness to accept others' differences. We may not know everything, and sometimes we may say something ignorant, but people can tell the difference between simple ignorance and hateful ignorance.
As Michael Richards has shown us, those who try to continue to hide their inner hatred may be able to succeed in life for some time, but, one day, their true selves will be revealed, with tragic results. It's best to never have those thoughts in the first place, and it's best to deal with the problem. "Forgive and forget" too easily may be more of a problem than a solution.

COMMENTARY
To become 'Master of Friday Night,'experiment
In the distant past, our ancestors had no difficulty entertaining themselves. If one were cold, he might spend the day tracking a wild animal for its pelt. If hungry, he could dangle a hook into the river and wait the whole afternoon. If another tribe attacked, the morning might contain the battle plans, the afternoon the fight; and, if they won, the evening hours would fill up with the composition of victory poems.
We face a far graver situation today.
I'm afraid that, as the world goes global, instead of the methods of enjoyment increasing without number, they will gradually shrink until the whole world is left with only a television set and the vague notion of trying to replicate what happens there.

As humanity has progressed and our knowledge of the world increased, we find ourselves having gone backward in the area of what to do with this knowledge.
Some wise people tell us that as cultures mix across the world, we will be benefited by other unique ways of life. Yet, here we stand in an increasingly global society, and as I survey the ways to fill up my evenings — between basketball games and trips to the rec center — I discover a list that could fit easily onto a small napkin.
In his novel The Napoleon of
Notting Hill, G.K. Chesterton introduces this statement: "When you say you want all peoples to unite, you really mean that you want all peoples to unite to learn the tricks of your people. If the Bedouin Arab does not know how to read, some English missionary or schoolmaster must be sent to teach him to read, but no one ever says, 'This schoolmaster does not know how to ride on a camel; let us pay a Bedouin to teach him.'"
We face an unexpected tide of boredom at the University of Kansas.
Humans have become masters of the world in many ways. We can influence population growth, economies, the climate of the earth, even the human genome, but we have yet to become masters of our Friday nights.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating we drop everything we have been doing, only suggesting that we throw some effort into adding new ideas. For instance, try

I think we can find at least a partial answer to the search for enjoyment by turning to the popularity of coffee shops. What indeed do they sell their customers? Are their drinks of any higher quality than what one could consume alone in the kitchen?
The success lies not within the cups themselves but rather in the people holding them.
If coffee was what I truly wanted, I could order from the Internet and never enter the doors of a coffee shop again. However, I'm looking not for coffee but for humanity. In conversation with another person, we find one of the greatest adventures left in modern society.

"It is not too late. The United States can still extricate itself honorably from an impending disaster in Iraq," Sen. Chuck Hagel (R.-Neb.), a potential presidential contender in 2012, said in urging for a planned
Hagel wrote in Sunday's Washington Post, "If the president fails to build a bipartisan foundation for an exit strategy, America will pay a high price for this blunder — one that we will have difficulty recovering from in the years ahead."
in the U.S.-supported Iraqi government. It was the deadliest week of sectarian fighting in Baghdad since the war began in March 2003.
"I think what weve got to do is go around the Maliki government in certain situations," said Sen. Sam Brownback (R.-Kan.), another possible presidential candidate. "Let's work with other groups, and let's get regional buy-in into this."
As the U.S. involvement in Iraq surpassed the length of America's participation in World War II, lawmakers have dwindling confidence
Europe, plans to meet with al-Maliki on Wednesday and Thursday in Jordan. The host of the meeting, Jordan's King Abdullah, said Sunday the problems in the Middle East go beyond the war in Iraq. He said much of the region soon could become engulfed in violence unless the central issues are addressed quickly. As for Bush, some of the toughest criticism is coming from within his own party.
Bush, after a NATO summit in
"We have misunderstood, misread, misplanned and mismanaged our honorable intentions in Iraq with an arrogant self-delusion reminiscent of Vietnam," said Hagel, a combat veteran of that war.
Sen. Richard Durbin (D.-Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat, said Democrats do not have a quick answer and any solution must be bipartisan.

BY SHAWN SHROYER
LAS VEGAS — For five games,
Kansas searched for an identity.
Late Saturday night, it found one.
Eat Saturday night, it is best to "Our guys were ready, focused, they played with a free mind, they weren't up tight and weren't trying to hang onto something. They went out and tried to take it," coach Bill Self said.
What No. 10 Kansas took away was No. 1 Florida's perfect record and any doubt that the Jayhawks could be one of the elite teams in the country this season, winning 82-80 in overtime and taking home the Las Vegas Invitational title.
Considering all that Kansas had been through, the upset against the defending national champions gave the impression that the Jayhawks recent struggles might be behind them. Kansas shot well, rebounded well and defended well against the best team it'd played in the Bill Self era.
"We could have been 0-5 and we still would have come out and played hard against Florida," junior guard Russell Robinson said.
But, as well as Kansas played as a team on Saturday, one player set the tone for Kansas — tournament Most Valuable Player, sophomore forward
Julian Wright.
In the first six minutes, Kansas' frontcourt was struck hard with early fouls committed by freshman forward Darrell Arthur and junior center Sasha Kaun. Wright picked up the slack beyond belief. When there was any question as to who would make a play for Kansas, he answered.
"Julian, in the first half, was just as good as a guy can be in college," Self said. "I thought he was fabulous."
Wright refused to let the Jayhaws fall behind in the first half. At one point, he scored six straight points for Kansas, and of the Jayhawks' last eight points of the half, he had five. He finished the half with 17 points and Kansas went into intermission up 37-31.
Wright's performance left Florida coach Billy Donovan feeling lucky that his team was still in the game at halftime.
"To be honest with you, I thought we were down by 20 with the way we played in the first half." Donovan said. "I was shocked it was only a six point game."
Far from out of the game, Florida came roaring back in the second half.

Players-only meeting motivates increases 'Hawks' game intensity
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
LAS VEGAS — After Friday's 64-46 victory against Ball State, the Kansas players got closer as a team.
They all crammed into the hallway outside freshman forward Darrell Arthur's hotel room for a players-only meeting.
"I just felt a lot of guys had a lot to get off their chest," junior guard Russell Robinson said. "They just wanted to get it out in the open, and last night was their opportunity to do that."
All-Tournament Team
Sophomore forward Julian Wright kicked off the meeting, with Robinson joining him in addressing the group. For the next 15 minutes, the other teammates voiced their frustrations, something they said helped them focus for Saturday's

A blowout loss to Missouri Saturday ended a disappointing season filled with what-could-have-beens.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — This was only fitting.
Kansas had opportunities Saturday — and all season long — to make plays that would get the team to a second-straight bowl game. They couldn't, and the Jayhawks will most likely be home for the holidays as a result.
All that hype about back-to-back bowl games can now almost certainly end as well.
Missouri took out three years of pent-up frustration against Kansas
Saturday, blowing out the Jayhawks 42=17.
"They outplayed us in nearly every facet of the game," coach Mark Mangino said. "They out-coached us and outplayed us. It was a clean sweep for them."
It's easy to see how it happened, considering the number of mental mistakes that hurt Kansas. Perhaps the worst instance was a third quarter penalty against the Jayhawks that kept a Tiger drive alive.
Kansas had just scored on the previous possession to cut Missouri's lead to three points. That touchdown seemed to give the Jayhawks the momentum for the first time all day.
The Jayhawk defense had the Tigers in a fourth down and three at their own 27-yard line, lined up to punt the ball. Just moments before the ball was snapped, Kansas was flagged for lining up in the neutral zone.
The 5-yard penalty gave the Tigers a first down and the momentum. Missouri ended that drive with a touchdown that increased its lead to 10 points.
It didn't last long though.
"That penalty right there, we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot," junior defensive lineman James McClinton said. "You keep doing that constantly and you start to lose your leg."
Just like that, the lajhayas essen- tially eliminated themselves from
Numerous 6- 1 teams, such as Oklahoma State, Florida State and Alabama are likely to be selected for bowl games ahead of Kansas. The Cowboys are likely headed to the Big 12 lowest bowl, the Houston Bowl.
There are only 64 bowl berths available, and only a few bowls are expected to have at-large spots and Kansas certainly doesn't rank high on the list of the 70 teams with at least six victories, 66 of which are ranked higher than Kansas. Add to that a rule that forces bowls to select teams with a winning record first and its easy to see that the Jayhawks bowl hopes are a long shot at best.
bowl contention.

Season ends on a 3-0 loss
Kansas finishes last in Big 12 rankings
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team failed to end its season on a positive note as Kansas State defeated it Saturday in Manhattan.
"We talked heart-to-heart after the match," coach Ray Bechard said. "It has been a disappointing season, but, now, each and every one of us needs to find something to get better at."
The Jayhawks (10-19, 3-17) were swept by the Wildcats (12-18, 4-16) by scores of 30-16, 30-14 and 30-28 at the Ahearn Field House in front of 812 fans.
The Wildcats notched 15 aces, compared to the Jayhawks one, to propel them against Kansas and move ahead in the Big 12 standings.
"The first games were very disappointing." Bechard said. "It was the best serving team we've seen all year, but I thought we were much better in game three."
Leading the Javahawks was Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, who had a team-high 11 kills on .529 hitting efficiency. Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, ended her stellar career with six kills and 13 digs.
Cornea finishes with 1,131 kills for her career, sixth best in the KU record book.
Correa said she was unsure whether or not she would try to continue her playing career.
"I don't know, I want to rest," she said. "I want to get my body rested, but if an opportunity appears, I might go."
Correa and fellow seniors Megan Hill, Jamie Mathewson, Dani Wittman and Linsey Morningstar
all played in their final college volleyball match.
Kansas State dominated Kansas at the net, forcing the lahayws to 22 hitting errors compared to the Wildcats' 14. The Wildcats also out-blocked the lahayws, 13-5.
Bechard said he thought Kansas State was comfortable playing at home.
The season-ending match for the Jayhawks showcased how the team could not break through in conference play. The team was winless in conference road games and finishes in last place, 11th, in the Big 12. Oklahoma State does not have a volleyball队.
While unhappy with how the season turned out, Bechard knows a team can have a dramatic turnaround in a season. He mentioned Oklahoma as a team that finished in the bottom last year, but made a jump to No. 2 in the conference this season.
Bechard said it's hard for a team to go from good to great though. The last three seasons have been pretty good, but sometimes when a team is good, it doesn't get great so easily, he said.
"This season is a huge wake-up call." Bechard said.
The season marks the first time the Jayhawks will not go to the NCAA tournament since 2003.
Bechard said the team has a week off before they begin off-season workouts.

It was a teary-eyed night at the final volleyball match in the Horesei Family Athletics Center this season when five Jayhawk volleyball seniors said goodbye.
"I held it, I did not cry," she said.
"I told myself, 'I'm not going to cry,' but on the inside I'm crving."
After being swept by No. 1 Nebraska on Wednesday, the five seniors — Jana Correa, Jamie Matthewson, Megan Hill, Dani Wittman and Linsey Morningstar — thanked everyone imaginable, including coaches, tutors, the band, cheerleaders, other athletes, trainers, Lew Perkins and fans.
After the thank-you statements, each senior addressed the crowd and four of them cried, with Correa listed as "questionable."

Mathewson thanked her parents for helping her "sign her life away to collegiate volleyball."
Even after being swept by Nebraska, Hill, a Lincoln, Neb, native, said something that echoed all of the seniors' feelings that night.
But, Mathewson said being with her teammates was what made her four-year career so enjoyable.
"We've never regretted the decision to go to Kansas," she said. "We will always be proud to be Jayhawks."
"Just the little moments that you'll all remember with the teammates, they surpass the moments you have on the court," she said.
ending knee injuries in her career, thanked her doctor who gave her two new knees.
While the season did not go the way coach Ray Bechard and the seniors would have liked, Bechard
said he would miss the work ethics all of them brought to the team.
"They're as good of kids as you could be around," he said. "They came to the gym every day ready to work."
"You have to analyze what the class gave you and what you need from the class," Bechard said. "They've been to three NCAA tournaments, you can't take that away, but obviously, this season is going to leave a little bit of a bitter taste."
Before the seniors arrived in Lawrence, the Jayhawks had never been to a NCAA tournament. This will be the first season the team does not make the postseason since 2003.

DANCING NACHOS
Heavyweight battle meets expectations
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHILLIPS@KANSAN.COM
LAS VEGAS — In a town known for its heavyweight title fights, Saturday's will go down as one of the best.
Kansas defeated Florida 82-80 in an overtime game that left jaws dropped, players exhausted, and, like any good fight, everyone clamoring for a rematch.
"It was the talk of the town, us and Florida," freshman forward Darrell Arthur said. "We've been waiting for this game ever since summertime."
And in a town known for valuing style more than substance, Saturday's game lived up to the hype.
In front of a who's who of NBA scouts, Kansas sophomore forward Julian Wright and Florida junior forward Joakim Noah fought out every possession, at one point finishing tied up on the floor with equal possession of the basketball.
That's not to say the two teams were exactly the same. The Gators are a scrappy team that wins with chemistry, whereas the Jayhawks can overpower opponents with raw talent.
"Kansas to me was ranked so high this year not because of anything they've done, but based on their talent level and their level of recruiting," Florida coach Billy Donovan said.
On Saturday the Jayhawks proved
that they could turn that raw talent into a finished product. Starting at the opening tip-off, they played with a poise that we've yet to see this year. charging out to an 11-2 lead.
"I don't think we've played a team as good as Florida since I've been at Kansas," coach Bill Self said. "They don't have any holes."
From there, the two heavyweights slugged it out for a total of 45 minutes, the kind of battle usually reserved for grainy black-and-white videos.
"I think it's probably the best game I've ever played in my life" he said. "It was just a battle to see who was going to get the last bucket."
Neither did Kansas, including a spectacular performance by Arthur, who looked like he'd played in a hundred big games, even if that's not exactly true.
Jayhawk crowd cheers in Vegas
Those baskets had a Las Vegas- esque quality to them, too. Wright threw down thunder dunks like it was going out of style.
The only question now is whether fans will be treated to an encore. As junior guard Russell Robinson soaked in the atmosphere after the game, there was only one thing he could compare it to.
None of that could distract,
though, from some of the best
basketball we'll get to see this year.
LAS VEGAS — This wasn't your normal college basketball atmosphere.
The 5,000 or so KU fans who descended on Las Vegas this weekend provided a healthy amount of noise, but nobody was confusing Allen Fieldhouse with the Orleans Arena.
"I probably won't have another one of those again unless we win the national championship," he said.

No question – Julian Wright.

He finished the game with a

His stat line on Saturday: 12 minutes, four fouls, 0-for-2 from the field. Kaun is obviously not yet 100 percent and shouldn't let a subpar performance against one of the top frontcourts in the nation take away from his amazing recovery from a knee injury.
STAT OF THE GAME...
NBA scouts were in attendance and can't complain that they didn't get to see enough of Kansas and Florida's star players. Of the 162 points scored between the Jayhawks and Gators, only six came from bench players. Kansas forward Darnell Jackson had four points and Florida forward Chris Richard had two points.

sity, even when Wright's production dropped off.
Although finishing with a teamhigh 21 points and 10 rebounds, Wright added just four points after halftime. His teammates picked him up. Arthur, Robinson, and sophomore guards Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush combined to score 41 points after the half.
Following two of Arthur's free throws that brought Kansas to within one, 80-79. Wright came up with a steal and called timeout before Florida could get a jump ball call. On the ensuing possession, Chalmers found Rush underneath for a lay-in to put the jahwacks up 81-80.
Wright said the victory was a result of players looking to make plays, rather than looking at the scoreboard and waiting for someone to do something.
This attitude had been absent from the Jayhawks until Saturday. With the results it got against Florida, this Kansas team might have finally figured out how to win games.

Florida rallied in the second half and at the end of regulation, the game was knotted 70-70. It was only fitting that Arthur would be the Jayhawk who took over in the extra session.
Because of foul trouble, Arthur played less than three minutes in the first half, so he took full advantage of the five extra minutes. Arthur grabbed three key rebounds in over-
After missing their shot on the next possession, the Gators were forced to foul and sent Robinson to the foul line. Robinson missed his second free throw and Florida went for the victory.

everybody's attention, and got everybody going in the right direction."
The payoff was evident in the 82-80 overtime victory against Florida. Five players finished the game with double-digit points as the Jayhawks moved the ball effectively and efficiently.
After the game, coach Bill Self said he saw the difference in his
players from the first basket through the thrilling finish.
"I really think there were thoughts subconsciously about trying to please other people or play a certain way," he said. "Tonight there was none of that; it was just about Kansas winning. We showed a lot more maturity tonight than we have in our previous games."
That maturity started with Wright, who played 42 minutes of basketball and scored a team-high 21 points. He teamed up with Arthur to shut down the Gators' inside attack, led
by last year's Final Four MVP Joakim Noah.
Wright was the most passionate of the Kansas players, wearing as much emotion as he does tube socks. During Friday night's meeting, he spoke passionately about the need to unite as a team.
"We just tried to fire each other up," he said. "Once we start feeling like that, that's what is going to propel us to the next level."
Self said that the level of intensity displayed Saturday was what he was looking for and acknowledged there
had been some tension on the team.
"They haven't been real happy with me," he said. "And I haven't really been happy with them."
The players addressed that anger on Friday night and united as a team. Now they will try to maintain that intensity for the rest of the season.

What should happen to Sasha Kaun and Damell Jackson's playing time?
While Darrell Arthur and Julian Wright have played up to and even above their preseason hype, Jackson and Kaun provide the Jay hawks with a completely different look. They may not bring the highlight reel dunks of their younger counterparts, but they're two experienced, savvy defenders who deserve an
opportunity to show off their abilities.

Kaun and Jackson are important role players, but that's what they are: role players. Daniel Arthur had just 16 minutes against Fibrida and in that time scored 19 points. It's easy to see that he's one of the most talented members of this team and Kansas will do even better with him on the floor more and Kaun and Jackson filling in when necessary. — Jonathan Keahing

EVERYONE NEEDS to understand that Kaun isn't 100 percent healthy or in shape. Once he is, his defense and intensity in the paint will be invaluable. Jackson has been and akways will be a good change of pace player off the bench. If Kansas needs points, these may not be the best two options, but for a hard-nosed physical presence down low, Kansas can ask for two better options than Kaun and Jackson.

Wichita State shocks LSU on road
One big shot, four key free throws in final minutes seal victory for Shockers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BATON ROUGE, La. — Karon Bradley was just waiting for the chance to make a big play.
With less than two minutes remaining in Saturday's game against sixth-ranked LSU, Bradley delivered it with the go-ahead attack that propelled No. 24 Wichita State to a 57-53 victory against the Tigers in a non-conference game.
"I told myself the whole game that if I had an opportunity to make a shot, I'd take it." Bradley said. "I did and it went in."
Bradley, a senior who transferred
The Tigers (2-1) came up empty on their next two possessions when Garrett Temple and Tasmin Mitchell missed 3-point attempts. Bradley made two free throws with 23 seconds left to give Wichita State a 54-50 lead.
After Darnell Lazare made a basket to bring LSU within two, Bradley made another pair of free throws with 13 seconds left.
from Marquette two years ago, gave the Shockers (4-0) their first lead of the game at 52-50 with 1:47 remaining.
Dameon Mason made one of two free throws to the Tigers, but Sean Ogirri clinched the victory for the Shockers by sinking one of two foul shots with six seconds to go.
Bradley, who finished with 11 points, was one of five players in double figures for Wichita State. Ryan Martin led the Shockers with 20 points, while EJ Cousinard had 11. Kyle Wilson and Phillip Thomasson each had 10.
"When you have to put every possession on your defense to win the game, it makes it more difficult." LSU coach John Brady said. "We did not do anything consistently well on offense."
The Tigers shot 40 percent from the field, but they made just eight of 24 field goal attempts in the second half. LSU also missed stx of its 13 foul shots, all in the second half.
Lazare scored 11 points, but no other LSU player had more than seven.
"You just have to hit your free throws down the stretch," said
LSU had a 29-23 halftime advantage primarily on the strength of its defense during a seven-minute stretch in the opening part of the game.
Glen Davys led LSU with 17 points.
Bradley, who has now made all 11 of his foul shots this season. "It's just routine. It's what you work on your whole life."

St. Louis Rams' Steven Jackson runs for a touchdown in the first half against the San Francisco 9ers Sunday in St. Louis.The Rams defeated the 49ers 20-17.
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — It took a crucial stop by the Rams' beaguered defense and Marc Bulger being nearly perfect on the winning drive to halt St. Louis' five-game losing streak.
The Rams (5-6) broke another Jeami heart for a change on Bulger's 5-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Curtis with 27 seconds to go for a 20-1 victory against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Twice during the skid they lost in the final minute.
"We needed to win in the worst way," Curtis said. "To come out of there and score when we need to give us a lot of hope for the rest of the season."
San Francisco (5-6) totaled 171 yards rushing against the NFL's worst defense against the run, including 134 yards on 21 carries by Frank Gore. He's the fifth player in six weeks to top 100 against the Rams and totaled 261 yards in two games against St Louis.
Leading, 14-13 midway through the fourth quarter, the 49ers marched down the field on a 13-play, 75-yard drive that chewed up more than seven minutes and included only one pass. The drive screeched to a halt at the seven yard line when Michael Robinson was stopped for no gain on third-and-1 by Brandon Chillar and Raonall Smith, forcing a 24-yard field goal by Joe Nedney with 3:54 to go.
"That was a big moment," Rams middle linebacker Will Witherspoon said. "That was a game-changing moment."
Gore was not in the game for the big carry because of an injured right ankle, which coach Mike Nolan described as a bruise. He was taken for X-rays after the game.
Nolan wouldn't second-guess his decision not to go for the first down.
"I thought about it at the time, running it hard, but we're on the road," Nolan said. "Make it a touch-down game. I wouldn't change anything."

Iron Cornish, senior running back, concludes through a hole in the Tiners' defense during Saturday's name at Missouri. With 126 nicking yards in the season end, Cornish became the lashawks' all-time circle-season rushing leader.
Cornish unknowingly sets rushing record calls loss 'most bitter moment' of his life
BY JONATHAN KEALING
COLUMBIA, Mo. — It wasn't supposed to happen this way.
Jon Cornish was supposed to rush his way into the record books in front of a Kansas team headed to back-to-back bowl games and victorious against Missouri for the fourth-straight season.
But instead of that fairy tale ending, Cornish entered the Kansas record book as more of a nightmarish footnote to his team's worst loss of the season. There was no silver lining for Cornish after the game, not even a bittersweet taste of limited success, he said.
No, it was "one of the most bitter moments in my life." Cornish said. So bitter he said he didn't even notice he broken the record during the game. But after the game he guessed the record-breaking moment was during the third quarter.
He was right. The record-breaking run was somewhat anti-climatic, but it did come in the third quarter.

Number of carries Cornish had Saturday, well below his season average
1,442 Previous record, set by Tony Sands in 1991 Jonathan Keellan
Taking a hand-off at the 12- yard line from freshman quarterback Kerry Meier, Cornish slipped sideways and scampered down the hash marks for nine yards and the
record. Cornish got the ball on the next possession, in the closing minutes of the third quarter, but never rushed the ball again during the rest of the game.
"i guess they liked the pass more than the run" in the fourth quarter, a "very frustrated" Cornish said. "Statistics show our rush is effective."
And while being careful to avoid saying anything that would be blatantly outrageous to coach Mark Mangino, Cornish, who essentially disappeared from the 'game plan in the fourth quarter, left the clear impression that he had expected to get the ball more, especially late in the game.
Did he make that point to Mangino? "I can't comment on that," he said.
"The game plan was to dominate with the run and we were doing that for three quarters," Cornish said. Cornish and Meier said the Jayhawks veered from the game plan by practically taking Cornish out of it.
Mangino, who said he didn't even know Cornish had broken the record until alerted by members of the media, said his team couldn't run the ball in the fourth quarter because it had to play catch-up.
There really wasn't a whole lot of catching up to do when the quarter started. The Jayhawks trailed by 10 points entering the fourth quarter.
Cornish, who carried the ball fifteen times through the first three quarters, had no rushes in the game's final period. He ended the day with 126 yards and a touchdown and has 1,457 yards on the season. That total pushed him past Tony Sands' 1,442 yards, a record set in 1991.
Cornish's best run of the game was a 42-yard touchdown trot in the first quarter. He took an option flip from Meer down the left sideline, dodging a couple Missouri defender to give Kansas its first and only score of the first half.
"He's benefited from playing behind a very solid, veteran offensive line." Mangino said. Cornish said the "offensive line was outstanding."
Both Cornish and Mangino were quick to spread the credit for the successful running attack Kansas had Saturday and all season long.
Senior center David Ochoa, however, declined to take any credit for Cornish's record-setting moment.
"Not right now. Maybe after it's all said and done we'll look back with some pride, but not right now," he said.
For now, Cornish can only wait to find out if there will be an opportunity to add to his record and perhaps do so in leading his teammates to a victory. While they are bowel-eligible, all signs now point to the Jayhawks staying home this December.
If that's the case, Cornish will end his senior season as the single-season record holder, but on a team that went 6-6 and missed the post-season.

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
The way the Jayhawks played Saturday, it's easy to see why they won't get a bowl bid.
Kansas' offense was anemic all afternoon. Many of the biggest plays for Kansas happened when Jon Cornish had the ball. On the day, Cornish finished with 126 yards on 15 carries. Those 15 carries were the third lowest number of the season. All came in the first three quarters.
It certainly wasn't hard to run the ball against the Tigers. But curiously enough, Kansas refused to do that in the fourth quarter.
Trailing by only 10 points in the fourth quarter, Mangino decided to put a comeback on the arm of Meter Cornish didn't rush the ball a single time in the fourth quarter.
"I'm healthy." Meier said after the game. "I am 100 percent."
Instead, the pressure was put on freshman quarterback Kerry Meter, who had another less-than-stellar performance. He underthrew numerous receivers and was seen grabbing his right shoulder after several throws. It was the same shoulder Meier has hurt twice this season.
Another curious move was the decision to replace freshman cornerback Anthony Webb. He was listed as the starter, but didn't even finish the first drive of the game. He was replaced by converted wide receiver Dominic Roux, who played the remainder of the game.
After the game, Mangino was tight-lipped about the decision.
"Anthony just had some struggles early on and you could see that Roux made some really fine plays," he said.
Roux did make plays to keep the ball out of the hands of Missouri tight end Chase Coffman. But too often, Coffman was able to escape and make plays. He lost Roux twice in the red zone for two touchdowns.
Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel had a career-day against the jayhawks. The sophomore finished a career-best 26-for-38 passing for 356 yards with four touchdowns.
The lone bright spot for Kansas came in the third quarter when Cornish became the single-season rushing record holder. Cornish finished with 1,457 for his career.
The loss, compounded with blown fourth-quarter leads in threestraight conference games, certainly didn't help. But it's that conference schedule that Mangino hopes will put his team in postseason play.
"I'm hopeful like our players are," Mangino said. "I think playing in the Big 12 conference and having played some really tough games this year, this was the only game we were not able to close the gap or fight through the fourth quarter."

IT WAS OVER WHEN...
Missouri running back Tony Temple rushed for his first touchdown of the game midway through the third quarter Kansas had scored on the previous possession to cut Missouri lead to just three points.
The Tigers regained the momentum with the scoring drive that was aided by an offside penalty against the Jayhawks on fourth down.
STAT OF THE GAME...
Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel finished the game with a career-high 356 passing yards. Daniel and his receivers had their way with Kansas' secondary all afternoon. He completed passes to nine different receivers. Daniel also threw four touchdowns. Those passing yards were the fourth most Kansas has given up this season.
GAME TO FORGET...
You have to wonder how healthy quarter Kerry Meier's right shoulder really is. Meier struggled with his accuracy and missed numerous receivers. He finished 8-for-15 passing for just 99 yards, with a touchdown and a fumble. Meier was pulled after that fourth quarter fumble for backup Todd Reesing.

In what was likely his final game as a Jayhawk, running back Jon Cornish became Kansas' all-time single season rusher. Cornish finished the game with 126 yards on 15 carries.
He averaged 6.4 yards a carry yet didn't carry the ball in the fourth quarter.

football notebook
According to Kansas records, the loss makes the series record 54-52-9. However, Missouri shows the series at 53-53-9. A '1600 game where Kansas used an illegible player is the game in dispute.
Sophomore cornerback Agib Tallb recorded his first career * pass reception, which went for a 42-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Missouri's victory gave the Tigers three points and an 8.5-to-4.0 lead in the Border Showdown Series.
Missouri had a third quarter touchdown called back after offsetting personal fouls against both teams. The confusion began when referee Drew George called a personal foul penalty on Kansas, not Missouri. That led to
George signaling a touchdown that happened on that play as good. Replay official John Laurie buzzed George and told him that the foal occurred before the Missouri player crossed the goal line meaning that the down must be replayed.
The Jayhawks wore their traditional white uniforms with gray pants. However, the team wore red socks, instead of blue.
As the winner, Missouri was awarded the Marching Band Drum after the game. Tiger players were seen kicking the Jayhawk logo on the drum during a postgame celebration on the field.

Wright rakes in awards for Vegas performance
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Las Vegas Invitational MVP wasn't enough for Julian Wright.
On Monday, Wright received two more honors: Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week and ESPN Player of the Week.
Riding a four-game winning streak and coming off an upset victory against then-No. 1 Florida, Kansas jumped from No. 10 to No. 5 in the nation, thanks to Wright's outstanding play during the Las Vegas Invitational.
Wright averaged 14.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists in three Invitational games last week.
The sophomore forward's athleticism was something that Florida coach Billy Donovan was aware of, but also something Donovan's team

"He's a very, very hard ball-flaff guy and I didn't think our big guys did a very good job tonight staying down," Donovan said. "When you
Wright was nearly averaging a double-double this season, at a rate of 13 points and 9.3 rebounds per game.
ESPN college basketball analyst Andy Katz was in Las Vegas for the tournament and came away impressed with Wright, dubbing him ESPN Player of the Week.
Katz noted how Wright had asserted himself as Kansas" money player" and wrote that Wright "clearly was the star for Kansas in one of the most anticipated and enjoyable games in recent memory"
ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas chimed in later in the
article that Wright was "turning into one of the best players in the country."
The recent run of awards added to the preseason accolades Wright received.
He was named preseason Big 12 Co-Player of the Year with Kansas sophomore guard Brandon Rush. He was also named one of the Preseason Top 50 Candidates for the John R. Wooden Award.

Festival of Trees donates to needy
COMMUNITY
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Auction to give proceeds back to local emergency relief shelter for children
More than fifty unconventional and ornately decorated Christmas trees are on display through Thursday at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., during the 20th annual Festival of Trees.

The trees, which were designed, decorated and donated by local businesses, groups and individuals, will be sold in an auction Wednesday night to raise money for The Shelter, Inc., 105 W. 11th St., a local shelter that provides emergency relief services to children.
Gail Vick, president of the shelter, said the auction raised more than $45,000 last year. In the past, the trees sold for between $150 and $1,500, but Vick said students could help the cause by viewing the exhibit for a $2 donation.

Maura Shire of Lawrence, 3, admires "On the Gossamer Wings of Butterflies," donated by the Welcome Club of Lawrence at the 20th annual Festival of Trees on Monday afternoon at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. The tree was one of more than 50 that will be on display through Thursday; a $2 donation is suggested for adults.
Lorrie Belcher, event co-chair, said some of the trees were very traditional, while others had a modern twist.
"It varies based on what people's ideas of Christmas are," she said.
Belcher said in the past there were usually KU and K-State trees. One of her favorite trees in the past was a tree made of tennis shoes donated by a group of runners.
The trees are made from a variety of materials, ranging from feathers to window screens to iron, and represent a myriad of themes that include beloved children's books, fly-fishing and the University of Kansas.
Diane Guthrie, event co-chair, said it was fun to see the diversity of craftsmanship.
Among the trees on display this year is a tree donated by Free State Fly Fishers that is decorated with fishing lures inside glass bulbs. Another tree on display, "A Very Hungry Tree," is modeled after Eric Carle's book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." Preschool children decorated it by recreating their favorite elements of the book. A white tree by two local artists resembles both a lamp and a tree, and could be used as either.
"People always come up with different ways to interpret the trees," Vick said.
In addition to the trees, nine wreaths will be sold in a silent auction to take place throughout the week.
The public can view the trees from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday

odd news
'Mutant hair' could break record for longest arm hair
JACKSON, Wis. — Jon Sanford takes good care of his hair, washing it regularly and conditioning it occasionally. Now he might break a record for that hair — on his arms.
One particularly long strand measured 4.1 inches. If the measurement is ruled official by Guinness World Records, Sanford will have topped the previous record of 3.96 inches.
"It's my mutant hair," said Sanford, 37.
Sanford is from Jackson, a town about 30 miles northwest of Milwaukee. He downloaded the necessary forms from Guinness, faxed them back and received further directions.
"I need two witnesses whom I do not know and they have to be respected in the community," he said of the instructions.
So he turned to Jackson patrol officer Shane Wrucke and fire chief John Skodinski.
"We're not always saving lives and protecting property. We also do other things." Skodinski said.
do other things, Skechers suits To comply with Guinness regulations, Wrucke and Skodinski accompanied Sanford to the bathroom before the measurement to watch him wash the arm hair.
"I condition it sometimes," Sanford said.
New slot machine to guarantee playing time
Sanford will receive a certificate if his application is affirmed.
His mother, Sue Sanford, said the hair was "gross," but his daughter Molly called it "cool."
LAS VEGAS — When it comes to gambling in Las Vegas, nothing is guaranteed. Except for this: A new video poker machine ensures a certain amount of playing time, no matter how bad your luck.
The video poker slot machine is called "Guaranteed Play." It was conceived not in the back room of a casino or at a slot machine laboratory, but at inventor Jay Walker's office in Stamford, Conn.
The device, which is expected to be offered in Las Vegas casinos within six months, allows players to buy a certain number of video poker hands up front for a set price.
For example,Walker's games can offer 150 hands of "Jacks or Better" for $20 and 400 hands for $40. Those hands could take 20 minutes to an hour to play.Games offer more or fewer hands for the money based on the type of video poker game and the odds that apply to that game.
The gambler should assume that he will lose his money — but
that he will have enjoyed playing a guaranteed number of games in the meantime.
"At the movies you know you're getting about an hour and a half plus some popcorn,"Walker said. "We can assure customers that even before they leave their house, they know they're going to be on a game for a while."
Perfume bottle auctioned for $216,000 after 67 years
LAMBERTVILLE, N.J. — A bottle of perfume that was originally purchased for $50 has been auctioned off for $216,000. And that doesn't include the perfume itself.
An elderly woman who wanted to remain anonymous received the bottle of Tresor de la Mer from her husband in 1939. He had bought it at Saks Fifth Avenue store.
The woman, who is now in her 90s, held on to the empty bottle — designed by Renee Lalique
and the box it came in for years before deciding to auction it at the Rago Arts and Auction Center on Nov.17.
Ken Leach, a perfume bottle expert at the auction, told The Times of Trenton that only 50 of the Lalique bottles were made, and he only knows of another one still in existence.
Bidding on the perfume featured two telephone bidders
rapidly increasing the price during the final two minutes. "Everybody was holding their breath," Leach said. "I thought they were ready to drop out at $100,000, but they just kept going."
The buyer also preferred to remain anonymous.
Google 'Lincoln, NE,' to get directions to James' house

"tell it to people all the time," he said.
The arrow is in the same spot if you did the search on MapQuest or Yahoo! Maps.
"It is the city centroid," said MapQuest representative Dori Salcido. He said it "represents the geometric center of the polygon encompassing the city."
Technically, five other houses on Bergsten's block can also brag about being the center of Lincoln's Web universe.

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Confucius Institute exports basketball game to China
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Tonight Brandon Rush's baskets and Julian Wright's ball-handling skills will be celebrated thousands of miles from Allen Fieldhouse in China.
For the first time in KU and Big 12 histories, the game will be broadcast completely in Mandarin Chinese from Allen Fieldhouse and streamed onto the Internet through the Athletics Department's Web site.
Zhiqun "James" Liang, a visiting scholar and senior adviser to the executive director at the Confucius Institute at the University of Kansas, and Sheree Willis, associate execu-
ove director for programs at the Confucius Institute, will give play-by-play accounts of the game in Chinese.
Willis said the institute decided to sponsor the broadcast of the game to celebrate the University of Kansas and its involvement in Chinese studies.
"I think this combines two strengths that the University has," Willis said. "It goes without saying that basketball is important at the University and in our culture. It is something we love very much. We also have great Chinese studies and language programs at the University through good connections in China
and the Confucius Institute."
Bill Tsutsu, executive director of the institute, said the broadcast would also showcase Liang's knowledge of the sport. He is a basketball commentator for NBC in China and was an accomplished basketball player on Huazhong Normal's intercollegiate basketball team. Students and faculty from Liang's alma mater in Wuhan, China, will join KU alumni and fans in other parts of the country tonight to cheer on the Jayhawks. Willis said basketball was an immensely popular sport in Chinese culture.
"We know that there are Chinese-speaking alumni who are supportive of KU basketball and we knew that
they would enjoy hearing a game called in Chinese, "Willis said.
A watch party of the Chinese broadcast will also be held for those much closer to the University at 7 p.m. at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Kansan staff writer Courtney Hagen can be contacted at chagen@ kansan.com.
The Confucius Institute posted a list of vocabulary words at www.confucius.ku.edu/bball_terms.shtml for non-Chinese-speaking fans to follow tonight's game.

Renters weigh locations,prices of residences
》 STUDENT HOUSING
Nearly halfway through the 2006- 2007 school year, students have begun their annual house hunts for next year.
The Lawrence community offers students a variety of locations and prices, and students have to consider what type of residence they will choose before their previous leases expire.
BY MATT ELDER
Kevin Jones, Overland Park sophomore, has begun weighing his options for next year. Jones currently lives at Legends Place, 4101 W. 24th Place, and he enjoyed the apartment complex's amenities. The Legends has a pool, furnished apartments and individual leases. But he said he didn't like the complex's far-from-campus location.
"If I lived closer to campus I could just walk home," Jones said. "But now I'm just sitting around and waiting on campus a lot."
Jones has had to adjust his schedule to the Legends Place's chartered bus that shuttles residents to and from campus. Jones said if a new location closer to campus became
available with similar square footage and furnishings, he would consider moving.
"I've definitely considered moving next year because of it," Jones said. "If I change anything I'd be closer."
Ashlynn Haynes, St. Louis junior, lived at a similar environment at The Reserve, 2511 W. 31st St. But this year Haynes decided to trade the apartment for her own house at 22nd and Vermont streets.
Haynes said she preferred living in the house after problems with The Reserve's maintenance. This year when something goes wrong with the house, Haynes is the one who makes the service calls and sets repair dates according to her own schedule.
Haynes said that in addition to the house being cheaper than her old apartment for both her and her roommates, the location allowed her to walk to both campus and Massachusetts Street.
Example Housing Rates
"It's just as easy to walk there as campus," Haynes said. "And in terms of avoiding drunk driving, it's nice."
> Legends Place: Two, three and four-bedroom apartments from $480 to $590 a month per person (including utilities).
> The Reserve: Three and four bedroom apartments from $309 to $369 a month per person (includes all utilities except electric bill).
The University's Department of
Jayhawker Towers, 1603 W.
Highpointte Apartments, 2001 W. 6th St.; One, two and three-bedrooms from $595 to $990 a month (excluding utilities).
15th St. Four-person occupancy for $2,574 a year, two-person occupancy for $4,508 a year.
Student Housing offers the closest living environment to the KU campus. What many of the facilities lack in abundant space, they make up for with the cost to students. In addition, the residence halls offer meal plans that ease the burden of cooking for students, and each residence hall has a dining facility in close proximity.
Sources: Legends Place, The Reserve, Department of Student Housing, First Management, Inc.
Before it was cut last year because of funding reductions, the University's Off-Campus Living Resource Center helped provide
students with available off-campus housing options available throughout the Lawrence community. Diana Rhodes, Student Senate staff secretary and past organization sponsor, said she remained hopeful that Student Senate would revive the program for students.

Kid Rock, Pamela Anderson both file for divorce
PEOPLE
LOS ANGELES — Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock each filed divorce papers Monday seeking to end their marriage of less than four months.
Anderson's representative would not comment on the reason or any particulars of the divorce.
Anderson and Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, each cited "irreconcilable differences" in their divorce filings in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
"Yes, it's true," Anderson wrote in a brief statement on her Web site. "Unfortunately impossible."
A message left with Ritchie's attorney wasn't immediately returned.
The relationship between Anderson, 39, and Ritchie, 35, has
been a turbulent one since they became engaged in 2002. They broke up the following year, but later reunited and held several wedding ceremonies during the summer.
They were wed in late July near St. Tropez, France, and again at a courthouse in Beverly Hills on Aug. 3. They also tied the knot in an Aug. 17 ceremony in Nashville, Tenn.

OPINION
PAGE 5A
》 OUR VIEW
War on Drugs remains a failed, illogical policy
The recent death of famed economist Milton Friedman has prompted an avalanche of essays about his influential monetary writings. Friedman was indeed a driving force behind many of today's fundamental economic policies, and his ideas deserve the laudatory nature of these tributes. But in the rush to sanctify Friedman's fiscal faculty, another aspect of his impressive career, of special import to students, may be overlooked. Friedman was a vocal advocate for the decriminalization of drugs, and his passing reminds us that the time to re-evaluate the War on Drugs is long overdue.
Though attempts at drug prohibition have existed for decades, it was not until President Nixon declared drug use "public enemy number one" in 1971 that the War on Drugs as we know it began. Since then, the federal government has poured billions of dollars into the attempted eradication of drug use and trafficking, with mixed but disheartening results. Drug use and accessibility have largely stayed unchanged, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services acknowledges that in the past decade, drug use has increased among nearly every age group. The government has little to show for its 35-year investment in fighting drugs.
Recent changes in federal financial-aid policy make the
War on Drugs especially relevant to students. The potential loss of financial aid in the event of a drug conviction is an excessively condemnatory action, and a dubious one considering the ethical state of other aspects of government. Students face the prospect of a draconian punishment for the use of substances often considered less harmful than their legal and regulated cousins. An action of such finality can do irreparable harm to the educational path of a student.
The government's other Wars on Nouns (poverty, crime, terrorism) have all had mixed results. No problem has been totally eliminated, but at least we can see some modicum of progress in each. But the War on Drugs has been an almost total failure, with regression across the entire spectrum of the effort.
The expected difficulty of a task should never be a reason for dissuasion from that task, and the challenge of a goal should not prevent all work toward that end. The War on Drugs springs from the noble ideal of improving our nation's health and lifestyle, but the time to heed Friedman's advice is here. The War on Drugs has failed, and a new course is needed.

Corporations can afford wage increase
Interestingly, I have noticed that only large corporations such as Wal-Mart and McDonald's pay minimum wage. I think they can afford
In response to Vince Myers' claim that raising the minimum wage leads to higher unemployment rates ("Turkey and talking points", 11/21): American companies will pay as little as they can get away with, and it is not for lack of resources. This century, the gap between the rich and the poor has increased exponentially.
to cut into their CEOs' wages a little bit, while small businesses tend to treat their employees more fairly.
While it may be true that Wal-Mart would rather fire a few people if forced to pay more, that does not mean that we can allow them to exploit their labor. They will not act responsibly of their own accord.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Affirmative Action a self-defeating system
RE: Wilkins "Michigan's proposition is racist."
Of course institutionalized racism is alive and well, but painting those against Affirmative Action as being akin to George Wallace and the Ku Klux Klan is going too far. I am against Affirmative Action because it ignores the real effects of racism, it ignores those who need the most help, and it ignores reality.
Affirmative Action doesn't open doors for African-Americans. It closes doors for those who are truly in need of help, those with poor educations and no skills, because it marginalizes their problems. Sure, let's take some of the top students and admit them to college, but what about the rest? Affirmative Action won't help you get a promotion at Home Depot or an entry level position in a factory, and it won't help you get a loan for a small business. But as long as a few extra African-Americans get into the University of
Michigan Law School everything's OK?
Affirmative Action is harmful because it lulls us into a false belief that something is being done, so no further actions need to take place. But this ignores the reality of most of the poor and disenfranchised African Americans because they don't have the education or opportunity to benefit from such a policy.
To effect real change, I propose setting standards that all public schools must meet. To have brand new, fully staffed, fully equipped schools in Olathe, and run-down, dirty schools, with out-of-date textbooks and poor facilities in East St. Louis is wrong. Every student deserves a clean, safe, and up-to-date school in which to learn. No extra federal dollars would need to be spent, simply punish states whose schools are not up to par by taking away federal dollars. I think this would be a good first step, and it
would go a lot further to aiding those who are truly in need of help, without having to use discrimination to fight discrimination.
Wilkins asserts that Affirmative Action is intended to correct years of racism and discrimination, but good intentions aren't enough. Good intentions won't help you get a job or feed your family. Affirmative Action has not closed the income gap, only stirred up anger and divided people. We should scrap this failed policy and make policies that get results. Should we continue with failed policies because they have good intentions? No, voting against Affirmative Action is not racist. What is wrong is ignoring the real problems faced by people who are discriminated against, and thinking they can be solved by more discrimination.

COMMENTARY
Richards' episode reveals complexity of racism
Michael Richards did it. He said "n—". We all saw the incident, so there no need to describe it. But is Richards, the man who made Kramer an American icon, a racist, or was he venting his anger at what seemed to be disrespectful audience members? I don't know, people can sink to low levels and say things to offend others when that is not how they would act otherwise.
What I do know is that racism is an extremely complex subject, for which no one has an absolute answer or solution.
Let me pose a couple of questions: How can we universalize the treatment of, and relations between, human beings when they are inherently different? Also, if there really is such a thing as political correctness can you, and should you, strive for it?
CAMILLE ROBINSON
I wasn't shocked by Richards' words — I was shocked by his anger. It makes me wonder why I should be shocked by him using the word
BY PATRICK SULLIVAN DE
OLIVEIRA
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
I don't fully understand why some black people use the term if they are so offended by it. Perhaps they are trying to appropriate the word so that it loses its effectiveness in offending and becomes a friendly term. But if that's the goal they shouldn't act offended by its usage in the first place. Also, there is such a diversity of opinion in the black community that there is no way to universalize its meaning between blacks.
when in the room next to mine someone is playing a rap song in which a black man has probably repeated it 20 times.
OK, maybe it's "nigga" Big difference.
So we are stuck with relativism,
The people Richards insulted are suing him. There is something wrong with that. What Richards did was offensive, and those people have the right to be offended — if that happened to me I would never go to his show again — but to sue him? Like it or not, Richards, has the right to freedom of speech. Also, I don't believe the people he offended have the moral high ground to sue him when they replied by calling him a "cracker ass" and a "f—ing white boy."
not only cultural relativism but also individual relativism.
More importantly, we need to have a good look at our society before we crucify Richards. Wasn't
the mistreatment of the Quran by some members of the U.S. military a form of bigotry? But how many people were truly shocked by that? Calling someone a "n—" and disrespecting what, for many, is a sacred book has a similar effect: They both attack what those groups consider the fabric of their own identity. So why tolerate one and not the other?
In one way or another we are all prejudiced. How many times have you caught yourself saying, "That's so gay," when referring to something you are uncomfortable with? How about, "He's such a Jew," or, "That's retarded?" Don't those manifest one form or another of imbedded prejudice? And can you honestly claim
Humans operate in groups, and groups automatically generate labels that lead to prejudices. As I said, it's in human nature to have prejudices, but I do believe it's something we should fight against. But I also believe that there are many more dangerous forms of discrimination that we should be worrying about more than an angry outburst by a comedian. Just have a look at our prisons, or our Congress.

properly, the Office of the University Registrar would not be able to help them get into those classes because it was not a power of the office.
Even in the case of a senior, Derritt said the office couldn't help. She said the only way students could potentially get into classes they needed would be to ask the instructor to give them priority on the waiting list.
William Staples, professor of sociology and chair of the department, said that it depended on the circumstances but that, in the case of a senior who needed the class to graduate, the department would do what it could to find a slot for him or her.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL Iowa State announces Chizik as new head coach
Iowa State, in hiring Texas assistant Gene Chizik, sought a piece of a national champion to revive the lackluster Cyclones.
Chizik replaces Dan McCarney, who resigned this month after 12 seasons. The Cyclones went 56-84 overall under McCarney and finished 4-8 this season.
Chizik came to Texas before the 2005 season, and the Longhorns won a national championship during his first season there. By the end of 2005, Chizik's teams had won 28 straight games dating back to his years at Auburn, where he was defensive coordinator for three seasons.

TRACK AND FIELD Kansas shot-put athlete inducted into hall of fame
Kansas shot-put great, William "Bill" H. Nieder was a recent inductee to the National Track and Field Hall of Fame.
Nieder grew up in Kansas and was the first high school athlete to throw past the 60-foot barrier with a 12-pound ball.
With the Kansas track and field team he captured five conference shot-put titles, two for the indoor seasons (1955-56) and three for the outdoor seasons (1954-56).
He also became the first college athlete to surpass the 60-foot barrier with the 16-pound ball.

Nieder finished second in the shot put at the NCAA Championships in 1956, breaking the world record in the event three different times.
The Hempstead, N.Y., native competed at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, earning a silver medal, and was the Olympic champion in the shot put in the Rome games in 1960.

Nieder will be inducted at the Jesse Owens Awards and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Indianapolis, Ind., on Saturday, Dec. 2.

Illinois, must be picked ahead of Kansas because the conference has four teams with winning records and only three bowl spots.
At least two teams out of the Pacific 10, Washington State and Arizona, will also have 6-6 records with no conference bowl games remaining. The Sun Belt Conference has two teams — Troy and Louisiana-Lafayette — that are both 6-5 with a final game to play this weekend. If both win, one team will likely get an at-large spot because the conference has only one bowl game.
Even once all the 7-5 teams are slotted, the Jayhawks still face an uphill climb. Bowl games select teams with fans who travel well, meaning a 6-6 team like Alabama could also be
Of the 6-5 teams, Kansas is likely to compete for at-large spots with Alabama, Arizona, Washington State and Pittsburgh, among others.
While the waiting isn't easy, the fact that Kansas had chances to get that seventh victory to guarantee a spot doesn't make it any easier.

Texas Tech reclaims spot on Top 25 poll
BY CHUCK SCHOFFNER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Coach Kristy Curry has Texas Tech back in its accustomed role as a Top 25 team, just six games into her first season with the Lady Raiders. Tech (5-1) joined the AP women's basketball poll at No.25 on Monday. the first national ranking for the team since it ended a run of 248 consecutive appearances in the poll last Dec. 5.
That string occurred under coach Marsha Sharp. Tech lured Curry from Purdue after Sharp resigned following 24 seasons that included the 1993 national championship, putting the new coach in the position of succeeding an icon.
"I think the biggest thing is that it was Marsha's decision (to resign) and the kids understood that," Curry said. "They have been great to us. We have embraced them. The hardest thing for me was to leave 15 kids at Purdue that meant the world to me."
this has been perfect a 75-60 victory Tech, coming off a 75-60 victory Sunday against then-No. 21 UCLA at the Rainbow Wahine Classic, was the only newcomer in a poll that had the same top eight as last week and Texas A&M in the top 10 for the first time.
Defending national champion Maryland received 46 of 50 first-place to lead the poll for the fourth straight week. With 1,246 points, the Terrapins held a 70-point lead over No. 2 North Carolina. The Tar Heels received one first-place vote, while Oklahoma had the three others.
Maryland improved to 7-0 with one-sided victories against Gardner-Webb and Mississippi. It's the best start for the Terrapins since they were 9-0 in the 1991-92 season.

KU ranks fifth Florida falls to fourth spot in poll
The Bruins combined their championship at the EA Sports Maui Invitational with losses by No. 1 Florida and No. 2 North Carolina to vault from fifth to the top spot Monday.
BY JIM O'CONNELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
UCLA is No.1 in The Associated Press' college basketball poll, a position it has occupied more than any other school.
This is UCLAs 129th poll with a No. 1 ranking, 19 more than runner-up Duke. The last time the Bruins were No. 1 was the final poll of the 1994-95 season when they went on to win their record 11th national championship.
Florida, which returned five starters from the team that beat UCLA in last season's national championship game, lost 82-80 in overtime to then-No. 10 Kansas in Las Vegas on Saturday night. North Carolina, which was second to the Gators in all three polls this season, lost 82-74 to Gonzaga in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off in New York on Wednesday.
The Bruins (4-0) returned two starters from the national runner-up team and despite not having a senior on the roster, they got off to a good start in coach Ben Howland's fourth season by following an opening-round win over Division II Chaminade with victories then-No. 20 Kentucky and then-No. 19 Georgia Tech to win the eight-team tournament on Maui.
Pittsburgh (6-0) and Ohio State
(6-0) each moved up one place to second and third while Florida (6-1) was fourth.
UCLA received 36 first-place votes and 1,727 points from the 72-member national media panel. Pittsburgh, which matched the highest ranking in school history, was No. 1 on 18 ballots with 1,666 points. Ohio State had 15 first-place votes and Florida received three.
Kansas (5-1), which dropped from third to 10th last week following a home loss to Oral Roberts, was fifth followed by Alabama, North Carolina, Marquette, Texas A&M and LSU.
The two losses cost Kentucky and Tennessee their places in the poll while Boston College also dropped out.
Half the top 10 lost last week, and five other ranked teams also went down, including Kentucky and Tennessee twice each.
In addition to Florida and North Carolina losing, No. 6 LSU was beaten at home by then-No. 24 Wichita State while No. 7 Wisconsin fell to Missouri State and No. 9 Duke was beaten by then-No. 13 Marquette.
Butler and Gonzaga, which upset ranked teams to reach the championship game of the NIT Season Tip-Off, and Virginia all moved into the Top 25 for the first time this season.
Duke was 11th and was followed by Wisconsin, Washington, Memphis, Syracuse, Arizona, Wichita State, Georgetown, Butler and Connecticut.

The Jayhawks must wait another week to find out if they are headed to a bowl game. After losing to Missouri on Saturday, Kansas' record doesn't leave many options for postseason play.
Kansas awaits bowl decision
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Four months of work has come down to this.
The Kansas football team must wait another week before its post-season fate is decided.
The Jayhawks likely won't know until after Saturday's Big 12 Championship Game if they'll be selected for a conference-affiliated bowl game. If not, Kansas will have to hope to be selected to fill an at-large spot.
"I'm hopeful," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "I think our players deserve it. I'm hopeful that we get what opportunity."
That opportunity will be tough to get.
It's possible, but highly unlikely, that the Houston Bowl, which selects a team last among the Big 12 bowls, could pick the Jayhawks. Houston Bowl officials are expected to pick another 6-6 team; Oklahoma State. OSU is likely to get the nod because of a head-to-head victory between the two teams and the fact that the school is located closer to Houston.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
But before the Jayhawks can be talked about as an option for either bowl, all Division I-A teams with a 7-5 record and no conferenceaffiliated bowl game must be slotted. That means a Mid-American Conference team, like Northern
There will likely be two at-large spots, in either the Poinsettia Bowl or the Motor City Bowl, for Kansas to contend for. The Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego has an at-large team built into its rotation and the Motor City Bowl in Detroit has an open spot because the Big 10 Conference didn't have enough bowl-eligible teams.

The swimming and diving team continues its fall campaign Thursday at the Kenyon Invite in Gambier, Ohio.
BY DANIEL C. WEIXELDORFER
The invite will feature a championship meet format that will provide the Jayhawks with the necessary preparation for the Big 12 Conference and NCAA Championships.
The all-day meet, which continues during the weekend and wraps up Saturday, will conclude the team's fall schedule.
The meet will feature a select group of swimmers and divers that will represent the University among the featured teams.
"We will use the Kenyon Invite to set us up for Nationals," Kansas head coach Clark Campbell said in a previous press release statement. "We will have a select team of 12 athletes who may make national times at the Kenyon to prepare us for fall 2007 and the USA National Short Course Championships."
"There were over 600 athletes from teams all over the map and we represented Kansas well at such a large-scale college meet," Campbell said. "We raced well in terms of where we are at this point in the season because we will peak in February."
The team recently placed second, finishing just behind West Virginia, in the Terrapin Cup invitational, which was held Nov. 16 to 18 in College Park, Md.

Jayhawks to play winless opponent
Kansas must stay focused after Vegas victories
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Kansas fans should be on their feet tonight to give a hearty welcome to the No. 5 Jayhawks after their upset victory against then-No. 1 ranked Florida.
They won't, however, have much reason to get excited about tonight's opponent because its not a team of the same caliber.
Dartmouth is losing games by an average of 23.6 points per game and has lost by double digits in all five games. This will also be Dartmouth's fourth road game and the Big Green are losing by an average of 30.7 points per road contest.
The Dartmouth Big Green enter tonight's game 0-5 and haven't been close to winning a game yet.
"We've still got a lot to learn," junior guard Russell Robinson said after the Florida game. "If you look at the tape, there's going to be a lot of mistakes."
Kansas shot a mere 27.3 percent from the field in the first half of
Kansas played its first two road games of the season last week in the Las Vegas Invitational and saw mixed results. Despite coming away with two victories and the "Invitational title, the Jayhawks looked rusty in their 64-46 victory against the Ball State Cardinals.
Still, Kansas will most likely enter this game more focused on areas it can improve, rather than on its opponent's struggles.
that game. Sophomore guard Mario Chalmers had the highest field goal percentage of any Jayhawk with 5-for-7 and led the team with 13 points, connecting on three of five three-point attempts.
with a remarkable overtime upset of undefeated Florida. Kansas shot 53.6 percent from the field for the game and outrebounded a bigger Florida frontcourt, 38-35. Sophomore forward Julian Wright solidified Invitational Most Valuable Player honors with 21 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block.
Kansas made up for the lackluster performance against Ball State
"We've still got a lot to learn. If you look at the tape, there's going to be a lot of mistakes."
must avoid letting the guard down against the victory-less Big Green.
RUSSELL ROBINSON Junior guard
As a team, Kansas showed a change in mentality during the Florida game.
Physically, Dartmouth is similar to Ball State in that it is significantly undersized. The Big Green's two tallest players - standing 6-foot-9 - are combining for only 16.3 minutes per game. One of Dartmouth's six play
"Before, subconsciously, there were some thoughts on trying to please other people, trying to play a certain way, or we need to be doing this more, or people are expecting this from me," Self said after the Florida game. "Tonight, there was none of that. It was just about Kansas winning."
Gaming off such a major and emotional victory, the fashyhawks
ers taller than 6-
6 has yet to play
this season.
This could mean big numbers for Kansas' starting front-court, Wright and freshman forward Darrrell Arthur. Arthur leads the team in scoring with 16.3 points per
game and Wright leads the team in rebounds with 9.3 per game.
With such a mismatch under the basket in Kansas' favor, the Jayhawks should be able to extend their winning streak to five games, especially if they utilize their big men like they did against the Gators.
"Our guards did a fabulous job of getting the ball to the paint. Fabulous job." Self said. "As well as we've probably done since I've been here."

'HORN BORN,'HAWK BRED
Inconsistent team makes tournament play uncertain
MARK SMITH
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
ROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
One word can describe the Kansas basketball team so far: inconsistent.
How Kansas' season ends will depend on which team shows up in the NCAA Tournament. Will it be the one that defeated No. 1 Florida on Saturday, or the one that apathetically trudged out a victory against Ball State the night before? No one knows.
The former could win it all. Those Jayhawks looked brilliant against the defending national champions. They shot well, worked together on both sides of the ball, set screens, blocked out, made free throws, forced timely turnovers with terrific defense and had some brilliant assists. They started strong and, except for the last 20 seconds of regulation, finished strong.
They were also poised. Every time Florida made a run to tie the game or take the lead, Kansas responded. And, for once, Kansas responded at the free throw line too. Darrell Arthur looked like a professional, not a freshman, when shooting free throws during the game's most important moments. He calmly walked to the line, then quickly went through his routine. He didn't give himself time to think about what was at stake.
If it wasn't for the collapse at the end of regulation, when Kansas made two inexcusable fouls and didn't pick up the rebound after a Florida free-throw miss, the team would have plaved a flawless game.
But as well as Kansas fared against Florida, it looked worse against Ball State. Maybe it was the left-over turkey sandwiches or maybe it was just boring basketball, but I fell asleep watching the game. At one point late in the first half, Kansas wasn't even shooting better than 20 percent from the field.
It was like two different teams made the trip to Las Vegas. Why can't Kansas play focused for 40 minutes against everyone? Whether the opponent is Florida or Ball State, Kansas needs to bring it every game. If the Jayhawks don't, they will be vulnerable and probably won't make it far in the NCAA Tournament.
Kansas was looking forward to the Florida game and it showed. Kansas would have been in big trouble if Ball State had shot the ball like Oral Roberts and had made 58 percent of its three-point shots rather than 13 percent.
I hope the Las Vegas Invitational taught the Jayhawks a lesson: Playing an entire game of focused basketball is a lot of fun.

Transit firm advocates KU, city bus merger
BY MARK VIERTHALER
It was officially recommended that the University and the city public transit systems should completely merge during a public presentation Tuesday.
Dan Boyle from Dan Boyle and Associates, a transit advisory firm, presented the final recommendation that both parties pursue a phased integration of all transit services in Lawrence during the next five years.
The Student Senate transit committee, provost and vice-provost and Lawrence City Commission will receive the recommendations today and enter into discussion.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of parking and transit, said he was pleased with the results, but the recommendations didn't surprise him.
Boyle said one of the key benefits for the University would be the replacement of old buses.
The recommendation did not include a complete replacement of the KU on Wheels fleet, but suggested a more economic replacement system by buying newer buses. Boyle said both the T and the KU on Wheels buses would be slowly phased from old to new during a period of several years.
Student's fees would be the sole source of funding, so each student would automatically get an unlimited access pass to all the bus systems, Boyle said. Although this recommendation would require a rise in student fees, he said it could help boost KU on Wheels' ridership.
Boyle previously estimated the increase would be close to $50 per student. The money would also go toward vehicle replacement.
To raise students' fees, there must be a referendum and the majority of students must approve the increase.
Tom Worker-Braddock, Boulder, Colo., graduate student, said he was concerned that integration of the two systems would mean KU on Wheels would no longer serve the purpose of running students to campus.
Boyle said KU on Wheels would remain an express route for students to campus even under the integration options.

MED CENTER
KU Hospital donates $400 million
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
The University of Kansas Hospital has offered millions of dollars to extend its affiliation agreement with the University of Kansas Medical Center. The total of the offer is nearly $400 million.
The proposal covers 10 years and was announced Monday in a letter to Med Center faculty from Barbara Atkinson, KU Medical Center executive vice chancellor and executive dean of the KU School of Medicine
Dennis McCulloch, spokesman
for KU Hospital, said that under the proposal, KU Hospital would continue to provide its current $30 million a year in support of the Med Center and the $400 million would be applied toward hefty increases in other areas.
Atkinson's letter indicated that while the offer was a "generous expression of support," there were a number of conditions and restrictions that would need to be evaluated.
One condition is that if the proposal is accepted, St. Luke's Hospital
in Kansas City, Mo., would not be able to continue to host full residency affiliations. There would still be a possibility for residency programs in areas where the School of Medicine has particular needs that can't be met at KU Hospital. A new governance structure for the current residency program would also be created.
Additionally, the School of Medicine would focus primarily on research and education while KU

Street musicians find home downtown
Artists perform for donations love of music
BY BEN SMITH
Joe Schreiner, Lawrence resident, performs a mixture of original material and cover songs Tuesday on Massachusetts Street for tips. Schreiner was homeless until a friend recently provided shelter for him and his girlfriend. His situation is indicative of many street musicians. "I'm trying to redefine what it is to be on the verge of homelessness," Schreiner said. "The majority of the community here seems to respect our way and like us."
Joe Schreiner likes to wear black oxford shoes and a clean gray linen suit to work every day along with the traditional tools of his trade; a guitar and harmonica.
He purchased the suit from one of Lawrence's thrift shops and his father gave him the guitar.
For more than five months, the thin man from Topeka has frequented the benches and sidewalks, near the US Bank building at Ninth and Massachusetts streets, smiling and strumming his guitar, with his companion and business manager, Tabatha McCoy.
Crooning like a happy-go-lucky rock star, Schreiner serenades the public with his own lyrics and melodies.
Rvan McGeeney/KANSAN
"It's always open mic night on Massachusetts Street," Schreiner sang recently as one clean-cut college-aged man walked by clapping and smiling.
Schreiner is one of nearly a dozen Lawrence "buskers," street musicians who play in public areas collecting tips with coffee cans, upturned hats and open instrument cases from bustling downtown crowds.
McCoy and Schreiner spent the summer living out of McCoy's car, scrounging clothes from thrift stores and food from LINK and the
Salvation Army before they were fortunate to find a friend who has let them stay in a camper during the winter months.
Schreiner attended classes at Allen County Community College before taking to the street to play his guitar. He and McCoy quote
Carl Jung, Gautama Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi while they talk about their passions for music and poetry.
Schreiner is upbeat about his prospects. He said Lawrence was a more transient and homeless-friendly place than other communities.
Kristin L. Bovard-Abbo, graduate student in English and a scholar
"I'm trying to redefine what it is to be on the verge of homelessness," Schreiner said. "The majority of the community here seems to respect our way and like us."
of French Medieval literature, said that the buskers of Massachusetts Street had many qualities that scholars attributed to troubadours, composers and performers of songs in 11th and 12th century Europe.

Students honor motivational chemistry professor
BY DANNY LUPPINO
When Paul Hanson decided to become a college professor, his intention was to teach at a small school where he could also coach cross country.
After 10 years at the University of Kansas, Hanson, professor of chemistry, hasn't coached any runners, but he has motivated hundreds of aspiring medical professionals through his daunting organic chemistry course.
Apparently his students have felt well-coached. During the football game on Nov. 18, the senior class named Hanson the winner of the 2006 Honor for an Outstanding Progressive Educator, or H.O.P.E., Award.
"The students have a lot at stake, so you're motivating them," Hanson said. "You're trying to get them through it."
"I'm deeply honored," Hanson
said. "I nearly fainted out there on the field."
The H.O.P.E Award is an annual honor for teaching excellence. Students nominate teachers through e-mail and seniors vote again to narrow the list to six nominees before the Board of Class Officers selects a winner.
Hanson said winning the award was directly related to his move last year from small classes to the large organic chemistry lecture. Hanson said that section had about 100 prepharmacy students and 250 to 300 pre-medicine students.
Joseph Heppert, chairman of the chemistry department, said Hanson excelled at getting his students through his often challenging class. He noted Hanson's frequent office hours and the lines of students who accompany them.
"It's clear to students that he really cares about how they do in the classroom." Heppert said.
Luke Walker, Leawood senior,
took Hanson's organic chemistry
class last year. He said Hanson's
enthusiasm was key to helping him
enjoy a subject he would not ordi-
narily have found very interesting.
"He was real energetic, very animated," Walker said. "That definitely helped. It grabbed attention. It could have been a lot worse with a different teacher, but he made it pretty interesting — about as interesting as organic chemistry can be."
"That's a very major achievement." Hepper said.
Heppert also credited Hanson with bringing an enthusiasm to lectures that made the material more interesting to students who largely take the class for professional ends.

Coleman helps students travel on breaks, study abroad and take trips back home. One of the perks of the job is being able to talk with many different students everyday.
"I graduated when STA first moved into the Union," Coleman said. "Now I wish that I had studied abroad or traveled on a break."
Cowen graduated in 2003 with a strategic communications degree. She answered an ad in the paper two years ago for STA travel, in part because the job was on the campus that she had grown to miss.

Divers to investigate huge waste water drainage pipe
LOS ANGELES — Divers this week will go where no one has been before — inside a giant pipe that carries treated waste water five miles out into the Pacific from the nation's second-largest city
To allow the inspection, flow of effluent was to be diverted to the plant's One-Mile Outfall starting Tuesday and ending Thursday evening. The shorter pipe is normally only used for emergencies.

The Five-Mile Outfall on the coast of Santa Monica Bay has never been inspected internally since it was built in 1960, though it has annual external inspections.
Local bikers oppose the signs and the fines, which previously were only $50.
Officials planned to close beaches from Ballona Creek south to the Manhattan Beach Pier.
But motorcycle manufacturers generally applauded Carefree's efforts to get bikers to ride responsibly.
The signs encourage throttling down as bikers ride through Carefree on their way to popular biker bars in Cave Creek. Bikers must ride through Carefree to get to Cave Creek.
The maximum number of decibels allowed is 80. Eighty decibels is slightly quieter than a kitchen garbage disposal.
PHOENIX — Carefree, a town outside Phoenix, posted signs Monday threatening recreational motorcycle riders with $750 fines if their bikes make too much noise.

Sandwich prank takes bad turn when man gets stabbed
Gordon confronted McManomy on Nov. 14 in a restroom of the Fountain Foundry Corp. because he thought McManamy had put oil on his sandwich, police said.
VEEDERSBURG, Ind. — A foundry worker accused the wrong man of putting motor oil on his peanut butter and jelly sandwich — and wound up taking a trip to the hospital.
McManomy was arrested on suspicion of battery with a deadly weapon. Gordon was treated at St. Clare Medical Center and released.
Bradley McManomy, 27. of Veedersburg, stabbed 22-year-old Jermey Gordon in his lower leg with a 3- to 4-inch blade, police said.
Charges might also be filed against Gordon for starting the fight.
BAKER CITY, Ore. — Jon Nickell, a 19-year-old college student home for Thanksgiving, stood on a corner one day last week with a sign that offered free hugs. Many downtown shoppers accepted.
Nickell is the younger brother of Josh Nickell, who was recently sentenced to a minimum of 25 years in prison for the murder of Arthur Gugler, a 77-year-old collector of World War II memorabilia, during a theft attempt.
Student offers free hugs to downtown shoppers
He said he received a wide range of responses. Most people, he said, were "open and willing." Others declined. Some "accused me of being a Communist, since I'm offering something for nothing."
Nickell said he plans to continue the offer later in the week.

SPEAKER Political writer to speak about reforming the GOP
Ryan Sager, columnist for the New York Post and blogger for RealClearPolitics.com, will speak at 7:30 tonight at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
Sager will discuss his new book, "The Elephant in the Room: Evangelicals, Libertarians and the Battle to Control the Republican Party." In the book, Sager argues the GOP has lost its way.
Bill Lacy, director of the Institute, said Sager's lecture is a good wrap-up to the midterm elections because of the gains the Democratic Party made in the race.
Lacy said Sager suggested that the party return to the Ronald Reagan tradition, which was more tolerant of different points of view, but maintained conservative principles.
A book signing will follow the event. It is free and open to the public.

Professor seeks drugless treatment
Steve Ilard's phone rang. As he answered it, he heard one of his patients weeping.
Ged Lyon Caren
BY GINA SOUDERS
"Remember how you made me promise to call you if I ever intended to kill myself?" his patient sobbed on the other line.
"Luckily I have never had a patient go through with committing suicide," Ilardi said. He said he managed to talk the patient out of suicide after finding the man several hours later and admitting him to a hospital.
"I wanted to keep my promise."
This particular incident, fortunately, ended on a happy note.
Ihardi is an associate professor of psychology at the University of Kansas and is involved with a continuous research study known as Therapeutic Lifestyle Change, or TLC. This is believed to be the first known research study to promote a change in lifestyle as an effective treatment for depression.
This was not the first time Ilardi had known someone who planned to commit suicide. Many of Ilardi's patients at his small psychology practice are diagnosed with depression.
In college, Ilardi was one of those guys who made fun of the psychology students. He teased them and

claimed it wasn't a real major. He said he didn't believe "mentally ill patients" were even ill.
Now, he is a respected psychology
The percentage of patients with depression has increased 10 times since World War I. In the 1940s, 2 to 3 percent of the U.S. population
Zoloft and Prozac, increased the risk of suicide among children and adolescents. Other studies have shown a risk of suicide among adults, but
"If the hunter-gatherers suffered from depression as much as we do now, I don't think the human race would have even survived."
"Yes?"
Alarming statistics like this push lardi to classify depression as an epidemic of the 21st century.
Whereas many doctors offer drugs as a solution to the problem, Ilardi is not satisfied with that answer.
"If these drugs worked as they advertised, I'd be all for them," he said. "But these drugs don't live up to their hype."
STEVE ILARDI Associate professor of psychology
Ilardi's study shows that only 40 percent of patients actually see better responses to curing their depression through the medications, and only 28 percent of these patients completely recover.
suffered from depression. Now, the figure is closer to 25 percent.
"If the hunter-gatherers suffered from depression as much as we do now, I don't think the human race would have even survived," Ilardi said.
The change in lifestyle required patients to increase their level of physical activity. Lawrence Athletic Center donated free memberships to the study and the research offered exercise consultants to give their patients more motivation.

In 2004, the FDA announced that certain antidepressives, such as
Brian Stites, one of TLC's co-coordinators, called the study the "grandmother philosophy" because of its basic objectives.
no statistics have been released to the public. Ilardi said these risks make him uneasy and motivate him to continue his work.
His study is researching whether a change in life-
"It is something you probably heard your grandmother tell you to do when you were a kid," Stites said. "These patients involved have tried everything. They have failed four to five other treatments in the past, including medications, and nothing has worked for them. This treatment is so simple and so effective, but it's also a lot of work."
Without an increase in revenue, Boyle said the T would need to combine several routes and alter a few others. Several new transfer points would be added throughout the routes.
The governing body would consist of representatives 50 percent from the city, 25 percent from the University and 25 percent from the students.
With a 20 percent financial increase over five years, both lines would be able to add evening routes and increase frequency. A new route would be added serving the Legends Apartments and Wakarusa Drive.
If both the University and the city agree to the recommendations, Boyle said contracts could be in negotiation as early as the beginning of 2007.
Boyle said money would come from both the city and the University.
The plan recommended the two systems create an independent and representative governing body between the University and the city
The research is nowhere near complete, but Ilardi said he planned to continue working until he had found all the statistics he could in order to save lives. Until then, he said he would continue to teach, treat patients and answer the phone worried, afraid that the next time it might be too late.
In Ilaardi's abnormal psychology class the topic of depression is covered for more than two weeks. He said it was another positive outlet to spread the word, and many of his students couldn't agree more.
ANDERSON, Mo. — Investigators expect to rule out arson as the cause of a fire that killed 10 people at a group home for the elderly and mentally ill, a police spokesman said Tuesday.
"The world is already overmedicated," Eric Travis, Pittsburg senior, said. "People need to learn to start taking care of themselves."

Sgt. Jason Clark of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said he did not "foresee that something through the night will lead us to believe that this is an arson investigation."
Officials have revealed little about what may have sparked the flames, which originated in an area that included a living room and some bedrooms. They scheduled a news conference for Wednesday.

Be on watch for signs of suicide
The possibility of a friend or family member committing suicide might not be on your mind, but it should be.
Despite popular myth, suicides occur least often during winter holidays and most often in spring, according to the Centers for Disease Control. But their frequency in the United States should remind us of the possibility that a friend or family member could commit suicide.
Each year 30,000 Americans die by suicide. That's nearly twice the number homicide deaths, according to the American College of Emergency Physicians.
Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among college students and the third-leading cause of death among people ages 15-24, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Almost 4,000 people 15-24 die by suicide each year, the AFSP says.
Seventy-five percent of all people who commit suicide give some warning to a friend or family member, the AFSP says.
The Centers for Disease Control says to recognize the following risk factors that increase the likelihood of a suicide attempt:

How to combat finals, ninjas
Finals usually kick your butt and laugh. But not this year. Preparing for finals is like preparing to battle a band of ninjas. It takes lots of physical and mental preparation.
POLICE
Finals, like ninjas, can either make or break you. You are worth about 110 percent of your grade and can be the difference between solid B's and some not so nice D's. The last thing you want is your parents using your Chrismahanukawanzaka gifts as firewood instead of that Yule log. It's going to be pretty awkward to explain that you failed TV 002 again because you used all of stop day to watch a [insert favorite TV show here] marathon.
To keep ninjas, in this case the finals, from sneaking up on you, you need to think about studying before stop day. This may seem a bit silly as it goes against our religious belief in procrastination. However, the ninjas are tricky and can quickly find the weaknesses of a not-so-well-prepared warrior. Besides, if you start studying now, you figure out questions to ask your professor before your class stops meeting. Your senset is a valuable resource.
Don't forget, ninjas usually attach in groups, and so should you. As unproductive as group study sessions can be, they can also be quite

helpful. It's usually best to meet someplace less distracting than your dorm room, where that new Nintendo Wii will get more attention than your books. I suggest the library, although I acknowledge there can be some characters even shadier than ninjas in the stacks at Watson. Your fellow classmates may bring up some key concepts that you forgot about. Or perhaps they have some study strategy that could work for you.
Besides mentally preparing for finals, you can also physically prepare. Ninjas, and finals, are nimble, quick warriors with sound minds and bodies. Ever notice how thin that Scantron sheet is? It's time you shaped up, too. A bit of exercise or a quick game of ultimate Frisbee can be great stress relief. Sometimes, after reading your Western Civ books for hours, you really just need to hit something. Field hockey — or field crumpets, that game people
play in front of Fraser Hall — are perfect for this.
If your friends are too busy studying and you have to work out alone, that's OK. You can easily run, lift weights or hurt your textbook across the room. Not only will you feel fit, but exercise can help clear your mind as well. And work off those extra calories from all the Mountain Dew you've been drinking.
Finally, it's time to face the finals. Unlike ninjas who yell "Hi-ya!" your finals will wilt something like, "What is the average air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?!" Instead of getting kicked in the face and thinking "Oh $#%^&^&*!", you will be well prepared for this attack. You will counter the attack by explaining how to find the air speed velocity of both an African and European swallow.
Once you've finished your finals, it's time to celebrate. After fighting like a natural ninja, it's time to party like a pirate. Enjoy the rum and be thankful that you're still getting your Chrismahanukawanzaka presents this year.

Juan blows dirt An immigrant's life
I have a strange relationship with a man I barely know. I know his name, but have little knowledge of his background. But I see him once a week, and I always look forward to his visit.
Juan works for the landscaping company that does work at my apartment complex once a week. From my fourth-floor balcony, I watch Juan perform his weekly task. It is a job that seems meaningless, but one that Juan attacks with an almost fanatical dedication and relentless joviality.
I don't mean this in a metaphoric sense; I mean it in the strictest literal sense. Juan walks around with a giant apparatus strapped to his back and uses it to blow dirt and leaves off of sidewalks and patios. Juan blows dirt, dirt that will be right back on the sidewalk when he returns next week.
Thus, Juan's chosen career is the definition of a zero-sum game. It defies all conclusions of any cost/benefit analysis. Dirt will inevitably end up on those sidewalks, and all the arguments for the aesthetic pleasure of the concrete pathways cannot overcome the utter futility of his job.
Juan's job is to blow dirt.
I used to dread Juan's visits. Sometimes he comes early in the morning and wakes me up with his skull-shatteringly loud blowing machine. But after watching him a few times, I began to relish his weekly appearances, Juan, whose job defies logical processes, always carries out his prescribed task with an inexplicable smile on his face.
Then I met Juan, and suddenly everything seemed much more clear.
Juan is an immigrant from Mexico, and each month he sends a large portion of his paycheck home to his siblings, who still harbor hopes of joining him here in America. His smile is a product of his optimism, which trumps all else in Juan's life. He came to this country seeking a better life for himself and his family, and that never fails to remind him to be happy.
He came here from Mexico to seek a better life in a free country of opportunity, the same things my relatives sought when they left Ireland in the late 19th century. My ancestors had no money when they arrived, and no one really wanted a multitude of Irish immigrants
I didn't ask Juan about his immigration status, but it is possible he is one of the millions of illegal immigrants currently living in America.
Much has been made of the immigration debate in recent months, and deservedly so — it has enormous implications for our nation's future, both economic and cultural. It seems logical that people who enter the United States illegally should not be entitled to the benefits and services funded by legal citizens. Who are they to capitalize without contribution?
But as I listened to Juan speak in broken English about his American Dream, my opinion suddenly made a lot less sense. Juan embodies the spirit of determination and optimism, the driving forces of the legendary American spirit.
There is a striking scene at the conclusion of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Greatatsby," after the utter downfall of the title character, in which Nick Carraway realizes that Gatsby selected his mansion's location so he could see the green light at the end of his unrequited love's dock. The light represented Gatsby's hopes, and Fitzgerald uses the light to symbolize the American Dream. Despite his own stumbles and failings, Gatsby believed in that green light, and so does Juan. That green light drew Juan from Mexico and sustains him throughout his thankless job.
And how do we greet him? By constructing a giant wall to barricade us from the rest of his family. By doing everything possible to discourage Juan from seeking a better life in America. All Juan wants is to reach that green light, to achieve the same dream for his family that all our families had the opportunity to realize.
So Juan will keep blowing the dirt, trying to overcome the barriers we are quite literally erecting to suppress his dream. Tomorrow Juan will run faster, stretch out his arms farther, and one fine morning —
See you next week; Juan.

BY GARY GENTILE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Automakers will roll into the Los Angeles Auto Show with a new lineup of concept cars powered by alternative fuels. But activists complain the companies are still moving too slowly to curb the nation's dependence on foreign oil.
General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and BMW AG will unvell vehicles that run on hydrogen, while other companies, including DaimlerChrysler AG and Volkswagen AG, will show vehicles powered by E85 ethanol, electric-gas hybrid engines, biodiesel, natural gas and low-sulfur diesel fuel.
Environmentally friendly cars will be a highlight of the auto show, which gained prominence this year after it was moved from January to November to occur before the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
"Consumers are angry that they don't have greener choices in the showroom, so at least on the concept car front, automakers can say, 'Hey, we're working on it,'" said Jason Mark, vehicles director at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
W
Organizers said 21 new models will make their world debuts at the Los Angeles show, which opens to the public on Friday and runs through Dec. 10.
Mark and others also argue that carmakers should make more fuel-efficient cars now by using available technology instead of waiting
A consumer group called "Jumpstart Ford" plans to demonstrate outside the auto show on Wednesday to say the vehicles on display provide too little, too late.
decades for new systems to prove themselves.
"Integrating these new technologies into a system is major progress," she said.
"The automakers' efforts sadly fall far short of the response needed in order to effectively break America's oil addiction," the group said in a prepared statement.
Still, a mass-produced fuel cell vehicle is 10 to 15 years away, said Simon Ng, director of the alternative energy technology program at Wayne State University in Detroit.
The unveilings in Los Angeles are further steps toward bringing hydrogen vehicles to market, said JoAnn Milliken, acting hydrogen program manager for the U.S.
Department of Energy.
Major obstacles include the lack of fueling stations and high costs, he said.
Energy Department estimates show a mass-produced fuel-cell engine would cost about four times as much as a conventional gasoline engine.
HOSPITAL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Hospital would focus on clinical care. The KU Hospital would also be the lead clinical facility as the effort to achieve designation as a National Cancer Institute goes forward.
KU Hospital CEO Irene Cumming said the hospital wanted to support the KU Medical Center since the two separated eight years ago, and after increasing the funding each year, it was now in a financial position to make a much larger pledge.
"It's important to us to have a strong partnership with the school," she said. "We looked at this as a way to promote that partnership."
This proposed affiliation is part of an effort to push the Kansas City area into the top 20 for life sciences research, something Atkinson said was "hugely important" for the region.
Cumming added that it was important to the Medical Center to obtain the NCI designation it sought, and the partnership could help promote that.
She said it would imply that Kansas City would have top tier, nationally recognized facilities that would not only be able to provide the best care for its patients, but provide the best teaching for its students.
Atkinson said discussions and negotiations would be ongoing and an agreement between the Hospital and the Medical Center wouldn't be immediate because the process had just begun.
"The community is expecting us to be a leader in this region," Atkinson said.

He acquiesces to the occasional request for Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird," with McCoy joining in on harmonies when the mood strikes her.
In the cold weather Schreiner and many other buskers do their best to find indoor venues that will allow them to perform out of the wind and chill.

KANSAS 83 DARTMOUTH 32

ARTMOUR
Football season is over.
Oh wait, I guess the Teriyaki Bowl still has a bid up for grabs, as long as the Chicken Fried Rices don't win this weekend.
GREEN LIGHT DARTMOUTH
What was supposed to be the year that Mark Mangino took the KU football program to another level has dwindled into waiting around for some sorry bowl game to come calling for a mediocre 6-6 football team to play against another mediocre 6-6 football team.
Seriously, 6-6? That's what we settled for this year, six wins and six losses in what has to be one of the easiest schedules a Big 12 team has faced since Bill Snyder was scheduling games. The only difference? Snider's teams won those games.
There's no excuse for this season's record. I don't want to hear that the team was young. I don't want to hear that KU was breaking in a new quarterback. And I don't want to hear that the team lost eight defensive starters from the year before. And for all of the above reasons, that's why the Jayhawks finished at .500.
Let me break down a few things that I learned during the season.
Kansas State brought in a new coach and finished with a better record than Kansas. Oh, and they beat Texas too. Yeah, I know we beat K-State, so what? Guess who's going to a bowl before we are? Purple Rain.
For starters, Todd Reesing is KU's quarterback of the future, not Kerry Meier. Reesing is cooler in the pocket, throws a better ball and brings a spark to the offense. Meier might be bigger than Reesing, but that's the only advantage he has over the Texan. Anyone who thinks Meier is the only quarterback; you've got another Dylan coming.
SEE DAVIS ON PAGE 38
Of course, it's hard to throw down field when it's a toss up as to whether your wide receivers are going to catch the ball. I suppose receivers coach Tim Beck told his guys not to worry, because the chances of the ball being thrown farther than 10 yards on any given play was slim.
Finally, the defense. Hey, it wasn't the greatest defense in the world, but it wasn't the worst. Sure the secondary gave up more yards than like Turner's given out beatings, but what's passing got to do with it? At least the running defense was solid. Next year's squad should be dangerous — provided all-World cornerback Agib Talib sticks around.
Second, Mangino needs to reconsider his offensive scheme, or lack thereof. Does offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro only have the Spark Notes version of the playbook? I'm wondering, because it doesn't seem that he has the full complement of plays to choose from. Or maybe the playbook has a full chapter dedicated to the wide receiver screen and why that play should be called 10 to 20 times a game. And who can't forget the shovel pass? The cornerstone of any stagnant passing offense.
And what if a receiver does drop a pass, as evidenced numerous times this season? Don't worry, Jon Cornish will more than make up for it until the coaching staff decides to mysteriously stop calling his number
— despite his rushing for more yards in a single season than any running back in KU football history.
Kansas earns easy victory against Dartmouth
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Amanda Sellers/KANSAN
Following a victory against the No. 1 team in the country, it would have been understandable if Kansas suffered a letdown against a winless Dartmouth squad.
That didn't happen, however, as Kansas coasted to an 83-32 victory.
"No letdown. Everybody was excited about the Florida game. We won, but it's over now," junior forward Darnell Jackson said. "Now we've just got to look ahead and play every team the same as we played Florida."
Kansas coach Bill Self said the game was actually helpful for Kansas because Dartmouth ran a 3-2 zone, which Kansas had previously struggled against. Freshman forward Darrell Arthur said the team usually didn't spend too much time scouting opponents like Dartmouth.
"We were just working on stuff we needed to get better on," Arthur said. "We weren't too worried about what they were going to do."
Mario Chalmers, sophomore guard, drives past Dartmouth's DeVon Mosley, sophomore guard, during the game Tuesday night in Allen Fieldhouse. Chalmers scored six points and had four rebounds Kansas beat Dartmouth 83-32.
Kansas freshman forward Darrell Arthur won the opening tip-off, and seconds later he put the Jayhawks on the board, slamming home an alley-oop from junior guard Russell Robinson.
In a total team effort, the Jayhawks dominated their inferior opponent from start to finish.
By the time Dartmouth made its second basket of the game, the team was already down 18-4. Kansas jumped out to the early lead as 6 minutes passed between Dartmouth's first and second baskets.
The Big Green didn't even reach double-digits until the 3:09 mark of the first half. Of course,

Henrickson: Jayhawks need to work on their rebounding
BY CASE KEEFER
Following an impressive 60-47 victory over Creighton last week, the women's basketball team had a lot to be proud of.
Poor rebounding, however, is what stuck out in coach Bonnie Henrickson's mind, and that is what Kansas will work to improve during tonight's game against the Western Illinois Westerwinds at Alen Fieldhouse.
"Giving up 19 offensive rebounds: that's disappointing," Henrickson said.

Western Illinois junior forward Stephanie Lovingood is leading the Westwinds in both rebounds and points. Lovingood will be a challenge for a Kansas frontcourt that hasn't played as well in its last two games.
After averaging 15.5 points per game in the Jayhawks first two contests, Martija Zinic has only averaged seven points in the last two. She shot only 22 percent from the field during those games.
To account for Zincic's subpar outings, Kansas' perimeter shooting has picked up. Led by freshmae guard Kellie Kohn, the Jayhawks shot nearly 40 percent from three point range in victories against Creighton and UMKC.
"We've definitely matured there," Henrickson said.

Tigers diver proves himself on football field as kicker
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Diver-tumed kicker Jeff Wolfert missed his first career field goal attempt this season for Missouri. He's been almost perfect ever since.
The sophomore from Overland Park, who came to Missouri in 2004 for a diving scholarship, has become the Tigers' most consistent source of points this year. Wolfert has made 17-for-19 field goals this season and all 40 of his extra point attempts.
The consistency has been surprising even to Wolfert. Pinkel didn't announce Wolfert as the starter until the week of the opener against Murray State, and he started off shaky, missing a 41-yard attempt against the Racers on his first-ever trv.
Associated Press
But he hasn't missed since a 36-yard try the following week against Mississippi. Including extra points he has made 46 consecutive kicks, including three field goals in a 42-17 win over Kansas on Saturday.

Baseball writers produce 2007 Hall of Fame ballot
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Mark McGwire, Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. head the first-time candidates on the 2007 baseball writers'
Hall of Fame ballot.
Jose Canseco, whose book last year led to a congressional hearing on steroid use in baseball, also is on the ballot for the first time. Canseco said he used steroids along with McGwire when they were teammates.
The Associated Press surveyed about 20 percent of eligible voters, and only one in four who gave an opinion plan to vote for McGwire this year. That's far short of the 75 percent necessary to gain induction.
Bret Saberhagen, a two-time Cy Young award winner, and former MVP Ken Caminiti also are among 17 players on the ballot for the first time along with Harold Baines, Dante Bichette, Bobby Bonilla, Scott Broiusel, Jay Buhner, Eric Davis, Tony Fernandez, Wally Joyner, Paul O'Neill, Devon White and Bobby Witt.

the last two games, including four three-point shots. The Westerwinds have an outstanding freshman of their own. Jordon O'Brien has come off of the bench in all five Western Illinois games to shoot 71 percent and average eight points. It will be a homecoming of sorts for O'Brien, who is from Parsons.

Murphy is averaging 10 points per game this season and has 17 assists. To slow down her production, senior guard Shaquina Mosley and sophomore guard Ivana Catic will have to disrupt passing lanes.
Catic saw her first start of the sea.

Catic also leads the team with 11 assists. It's unsure if Catic will start her second straight game as the third guard or Henrickson will return to a more traditional lineup with freshman forward Sade Morris.
Morris started the first three games but came off of the bench last Monday. She's third in both points, with 8.5 per game, and rebounds, with four per game, for the Jayhawks this season.

Falcons in need of revival
NFL
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — After watching the Atlanta Falcons lose their fourth straight game, owner Arthur Blank grabbed a front-row seat in the interview room to hear what Jim Mora and Michael Vick had to say.
Blank also pored over a stat sheet, whispering some thoughts to his top lieutenant while trying to figure out how another promising has totally unraveled heading into the final month.
This owner demands immediate results. If things don't turn around over the next five weeks, the Falcons are certainly headed for big changes — starting with several members of Mora's staff and maybe extending all the way to the head coach himself.
Technically, Atlanta (5-6) still has time to turn things around in the mediocre NFC, where 6-5 would be good enough for the wild card if the season ended today.
But after going 0-for-November, the Falcons are below .500 for the first time in Mora's three-year tenure and giving off few signs of being a team that can pull out of its slide before it's too late.
Three of the losses during past month were by double-figure margins — the only exception being an inexcusable 17-13 home loss to woeful Cleveland (3-8). The Falcons were blown out 30-14 at Detroit, one of only two games the Lions have won this season. Last Sunday, Atlanta was all but eliminated from the NFC West race by a 31-13 loss to the Saints, who essentially have a three-game lead on the Falcons when the tiebreaker is factored in.
What makes this more troubling is just how familiar it seems.
A year ago, coming off a giddy run to the NFC championship game in Mora's rookie season as a head coach, the Falcons started 6-2 and were thinking Super Bowl. They wound up losing six of their last eight, extending the 40-year-old franchise's inglorious streak of never
having back-to-back winning seasons.
Now, it's happening all over again. In one month, the Falcons have gone from being 5-2 and angling for home-field advantage in the playoffs to showing all the telltale signs of a team in disarray.
The offense is a mess, an incompatible juxtaposition of coordinator Greg Knapp's West Coast-style passing schemes and the zone-blocking tactics used by the guys up front, who answer to de facto line coach Alex Gibbs.
Vick has never taken to Knapp's philosophy, which relies on short drops and quick reads that seem ill-suited for a 6-foot quarterback who has trouble seeing over his linemen. Vick is the 25th-rated quarterback in the NFL and, most stunning, has never put up better numbers playing in Knapp's offense than he did in his one full season working with former coach Dan Reeves.
Meanwhile, the shadowy Gibbs — who's technically a "consultant" — prefers smaller, quicker linemen who'll carry out his controversial blocking tactics in the running game but are leaker than a colander when it comes to pass blocking. Vick may be the best running quarterback in NFL history, but he's still managed to get sacked 29 times playing behind a no-name group that has zero Pro Bows on its collective resume.
When Vick does get off a pass, tight end Alge Crumpler is about the only reliable receiver on the team. Former first-round picks Michael Jenkins and Roddy White have been major disappointments. Ashley Lelie hasn't had the impact everyone expected when he came to the Falcons in a trade for T.J. Duckett.
Last week, Vick's receivers dropped five passes, the most damaging of those coming early in the fourth quarter when a wide-open White let the ball slip from his hands at the New Orleans 10 after the defender fell down. That snuffed the life out of the Falcons, who were down 21-13 at the time but totally
fell apart the rest of the way.
Mora insists he isn't planning any changes on his staff, but what else do you expect him to say about guys — several of them close friends — who are still on the payroll? Clearly, Knapp and receivers coach George Stewart are on shaky ground. And the Falcons wouldn't be able to hire a competent replacement for Knapp as long as Gibbs is hanging around.
If someone doesn't show up soon for the Falcons, this team is headed for a major shakeup.
DAVIS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
As I conclude, this season was a major disappointment. The team led 11 of its 12 games, surrendering leads in the fourth quarter. The coaching was suspect all year, and when you get down to it, has been for most of Mangino's regime. Granted Kansas football is better now than it was when Terry Allen was here, but how much so? And if 6-6 is all we can get when this team has an easy schedule, can we ever expect to, I don't know, surpass Kansas State?

Announcers broadcast the game in Chinese, which was streamed on the Athletic Department's Web site. The first-ever broadcast was sponsored by the Confucious Institute.
BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
that's what happens when a team shoots just 26.3 percent from the field in one half.
It was so bad in the first half that, for nearly 6 minutes, the Big Green had as many, or more, fouls than they had points.
It didn't get any better in the second half, when Dartmouth shot 24.1 percent. The Big Green went nearly 8 minutes in the second half before scoring.
As if Kansas needed any more help winning its fifth straight game, Dartmouth basically gave the game away. The Jayhawks scored half of their 40 first half points off Big Green turnovers. Dartmouth only had five more turnovers in the second half, but by then, it was too late.
In fact, the Jayhawks would have fared pretty well against the Big Green, even without their starters. Kansas' bench players matched Dartmouth's 13 first half points and outscored the Big Green for the game, 39-32.
Jackson not only had the best game of any bench player, but also the best game of any Jayhawk. Jackson recorded a double-double with 13 points, tying a career high, and a game-high 11 rebounds. Jackson had four rebounds on one Kansas possession alone.
Jackson had to earn it as he was forced to leave the game in the first half after taking an elbow to his right eye, which started to bleed. He received five stitches and was back in the second half.
"It wasn't a juiced-up effort, but certainly pretty methodical, and guys seemed to make some pretty
solid plays." Self said.
Following an MVP performance in Las Vegas last week, sophomore forward Julián Wright had 12 points, eight rebounds and three steals. Arthur finished with 13 points, eight rebounds and five blocks.
Sophomore center Matt Kleinmann scored a season-high four points.
The only Dartmouth player to have a notable game was guard DeVon Mosley, who scored 13 points and connected on three of five three-point attempts.
Self said that after a game like the one last night, there wasn't much to tell the team in the locker room. About all he told the team was:
Junior guard Rodrick Stewart scored a season-high eight points.
Despite the lopsided score, Kansas played like it was a close game. At one point Jackson, junior center Sasha Kaun and freshman guard Sherron Collins all laid-out for a loose ball.
"Good job; everybody got a chance to play. You should leave here feeling good about yourself. Don't miss class tomorrow," Self said.
Dartmouth scored the least amount of points in a game by a Kansas opponent since 1951, when Oklahoma State managed only 27 points.

Kansas holds momentum after Florida
Dartmouth's two tallest players, Elgin Fitzgerald and Kurt Graeber, were not thoroughbreds of the same pedigree. Fitzgerald and Graeber had scored a combined four points coming into Tuesday's game, giving the Jayhawks a break after facing one of the nation's best frontcourts.
BASKETBALL
Kansas took advantage of Dartmouth's lack of size and front-court experience in its 83-32 victory Tuesday night.
The Jayhawks rebounding margin was almost as lopsided as the score. They out rebounded the Big Green 52-23.
"We're a lot bigger than they are," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We should've had a huge margin from a rebounding standpoint, because they're not very big."
Records:
Dartmouth — 0-6
Kansas — 6-1
Associated Press
Kansas' front court did most of its damage on the offensive side of the ball. The Jayhawks finished with 23 offensive rebounds, also a season high. The bounty of rebounds on the offensive glass allowed Kansas to score 22 second-chance points.
Saturday, Kansas' frontcourt will face a tougher test than Dartmouth provided when it travels to DePaul. The Blue Demons' frontcourt isn't as skilled as Florida, but forward Wilson Chandler could be a handful.
"Wilson Chandler is great. He's an NBA guy," Self said. "Our guys will have to really take a challenge to guard him and attack him."
Tuesday's banner performance down low came after the jayhawks bettered the Gators' vaunted front-court. Kansas out rebounded Florida in that game 38-35, and Jackson, Arthur and Wright out scored the Gators' Noah, Horford and Richard 44-27.
Kansan sportswriter Mark Dent can be contacted at mdent@kansan.com.
"Before the game I told myself I needed to start going to the glass more," Jackson said. "Being more aggressive, trying to get every rebound that comes off the rim."
Jackson didn't get all the rebounds, but he did grab a team-high 11, including seven offensive. One chain of events illustrates the intensity Jackson brought while crashing the glass.
Arthur could have called himself a force as well, based on his performance last night. He followed up his 19-point game against Florida with 13 points and eight rebounds. Kansas' other frontcourt players, Julian Wright, Sasha Kaun and Matt Kleinmann, combined for 18 points and 12 rebounds.
"Coach tells him to go in there and be a banger," freshman forward Darrell Arthur said about Jackson. "He just goes in there and knocks everybody around. He's a force."
Chalmers misfired on a three pointer. Junior guard Rodrick Stewart jumped into Jackson trying to tip the ball in. During the collision, Jackson sustained a cut that required five stitches over his eye, but he still managed to rebound Stewart's missed tip, shoot the ball and get fouled. Jackson tied for the team lead with 13 points.

Cardinals sign pitcher, second baseman
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday made their first free-agent moves since winning the World Series, signing right-handed pitcher Kip Wells and second baseman Adam Kennedy.
The Cardinals also re-signed backup catcher Gary Bennett to a one-year, $900,000 deal with an option for 2008 and signed Eli Marrero, once their starting catcher, to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Wells, 29, could fill one of three vacancies in the rotation. World Series heroes Jeff Suppan, Jeff Weaver,
along with Jason Marquis, all are free agents.
Wells was a combined 1-6 with the Pirates and Rangers in an injury-plagued 2006, going to Texas on the trade deadline for prospects. He finished the year on the 15-day disabled list with a foot injury.
For his career, Wells is 57-74 with a 4.46 ERA.

Bennett hit .233 with four homers last season as the backup to Yadier Molina. Marrero, 33, began his career with the Cardinals in 1997. He hit just .217 in 30 games with Colorado last season, and has a lifetime average of .243, but can play several positions.
Earlier in the offseason, the Cardinals re-signed Edmonds and utilityman Scott Spiezio to two-year contracts.
Kennedy, 30, hit .273 with 55 RBIs and 16 stolen bases last season for the Angels. He has a career batting average of .280 with 52 homers and 123 stolen bases.
Kennedy, who was a first-round pick by the Cardinals in 1997, was part of a trade with the Angles that sent Jim Edmonds to St. Louis in 2000. He was once considered the Cardinals' second baseman of the future. He replaces Ronnie Belliard, a trade deadline acquisition from the Indians last year, who is a free agent.
Wells led major league pitchers with 18 losses in 2005 and missed the first half of the season following surgery, performed in St. Louis, to repair a blocked artery near his right shoulder.
"It would be two in five then. I'd make it two in five," La Russa said. "I can't answer for anybody else, what priorities they give and how they weigh stuff. I know what my personal opinion is, and that's the way it stavs."

BY STEVE BRISENDINE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Running back Priest Holmes will not return to the Kansas City Chiefs this season.

However, Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson said Tuesday that recent medical tests on Holmes have been encouraging and Holmes hopes to return for the 2007 season. Tuesday was the last day the Chiefs could have activated Holmes.
"He does not, at this time, plan to give up football," Peterson said. "We're looking at another evaluation in January or February of '07."
The three-time Pro Bowler, who turned 33 last month, has not played since Oct. 30, 2005; when he was injured on a hit by Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman in a game at San Diego. The hit left him with head and neck trauma, diagnosed by three spinal specialists.
"We're 12 weeks into the regular season," Peterson said. "Without getting into the medical aspects of it, I think there were some questions as to whether he could have himself ready to play."
He missed the last nine games of the season after skipping the last eight games of the 2004 season with a knee injury. He has appeared in all 16 games in a season only four times since breaking into the NFL in 1997.
Peterson said Holmes, who is under contract through 2009, told him on Friday that he wanted to remain on the physically unable-toperform list through this season.
Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has replaced Priest Holmes, who was injured on Oct. 30, 2005. Holmes has not played football since his injury during a game against the San Diego Chargers.
Peterson declined to say whether Holmes would have been able to return had he gotten the same evaluations earlier in the season rather than within the past week.

That was nothing unusual for the intensely private and enigmatic back who became a surprise star after going undrafted out of Texas.
He joined Baltimore as a rookie free agent in 1997, rushing for 1,008 yards the following season, before taking on a reduced role behind Jamal Lewis. He came to Kansas City as an unrestricted free agent before the 2001 season, when he led the league in rushing with 1,555 yards and earned his first Pro Bowl berth.
"With Priest, you can never count him out," said Holmes' agent, Todd France. "In my mind, there's no question. In his mind, there's no question.
"In everyone else's mind, he's been second-guessed his entire career, and people have been wrong."
Peterson said he has maintained regular contact with Holmes and the team understood and supported the running back's decision to stay in Texas.

Freezing temperatures, sleet snap temperate weather around Lawrence
BY NATE MCGINNIS AND ERIN CASTANEDA
Warm weather Tuesday led many students to believe winter wouldn't come soon, but those perceptions were shattered when Mother Nature unleashed freezing rain and high winds Wednesday on campus.
The weather shift might shock students in other parts of the nation, but not KU students. Nathaniel Cunningham, Ottawa freshman, said he was used to unusual weather
in Kansas.
"I never know what to expect, especially in the winter," he said.
Donna Tucker, professor of geography, said that cold weather systems weren't unusual for the central United States and that it was normal to see snow and ice at the end of November.
"There've been times when our first winter was even later," she said. "The timing isn't all that unusual."
Weather reports predicted cold weather would not begin until Thursday, leaving some students

Harryman said the best way to deal with the frigid walk to class was to bundle up and face it head on.

Reasons may differ but rooting through dumpsters endures

After recovering several issues of last month's magazines, Davis hoisted himself out of the dumpster and took off in his green Geo Metro.
"This dumpster has gotten increasingly hostile." Davis said at the next stop, another blue garbage bin. A warning was painted on the side of the bin in blood red. Owners dumped water in the bin and ripped out chapters from books they tossed to deter scavengers, Davis said. But that didn't stop him.

Photo exhibit shows horrors of poverty
Display features pictures from trip to China
BY DARLA SLIPKE
Students and two professors met three children in the streets of China eating cigarette butts and rotting food during a summer study abroad trip. The children's father had died, probably of the bird flu, and their mother suffered mental illness trying to provide for them on $11.50 a month.
This is one of many encounters students documented in photographs during a month spent traveling throughout China. The photos are on display at the Spencer Museum of Art through Feb. 4.
Pok-Chi Lau, professor of design, said that the photos were "hard to swallow," but that the difficulty was
The woman's daughter broke her back in two places while carrying chemical fertilizer and her son also suffered from mental illness. Social workers visited the family and the mother didn't get dressed to meet them.
Two photographs of the impoverished family are displayed in the exhibit. In one, you can see dirt under the mother's fingernails. She hadn't showered in weeks, Lau said.
"She was crawling in the streets and eating rotten food, so they locked her up." Lau said.
"When you see harshness," he said, "you also see beauty."

Steven Allen of Lawrence escorts a man he and his father-in-law, Steve Robson, took into custody after the man, bonded through Ace Ball Bonds, missed his court date. Steven helps his father-in-law with fictive recoveries to ensure that he is not liable for the amount of the ball bond.
Life of bail bondsmen goes beyond dramatic television portrayals
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
The headlights of Steve Robson's black Ford pickup cut through the fog of gravel dust as he sped toward the mouse near Tonganoxie. He slammed on his brakes, jumped out and ran toward the door, a badge on his right hip, handcuffs hanging from his belt and pepper spray in his back pocket. As his son, Brock, and son-in-law, Steven, circled the house to prevent the woman from fleeing through a window, Robson banged on the door.
"I have a warrant for your arrest," he yelled, trying to coax the woman outside.
The woman had failed to show for her court date. If he couldn't get her out of the house and back behind bars, Robson stood to lose $1,000. It took nearly 30 minutes, an exchange of profanities between Robson and the woman's boyfriend and one failed escape attempt before the woman came outside. She allowed Robson to cuff her and take her back to jail.
Robson, 46, owns Ace Bail
Bonds, 2400 Franklin Rd., and is one of a handful of Lawrence bondsmen who make a living by bailing people out of jail. Bondsmen guarantee their clients will appear in court and an insurance company guarantees the bail payment. If the client misses court or flees, bondsmen become modern-day bounty hunters, tracking down and apprehending the "skips," as Robson calls them. If they don't return skips to jail, bondsmen and their insurers stand to lose the full amount of the bond. Because all of their clients are accused of crimes, and some flee rather than face trial, bondsmen must arm themselves with pepper spray, taser guns and bulletproof vests.
Even so, local bondsmen say the job is mostly boring and easy. It's more like being an insurance agent than is portrayed on the reality TV series, "Dog The Bounty Hunter," which follows Duane "Dog" Chapman, an eccentric bail bondsman, on his

ODD NEWS Identity theft puts IHOP policy in tough situation
QUINCY, Mass. — John Russo says he has been a victim of identity theft. So when he was asked to fork over a photo ID just to be seated at an IHOP pancake restaurant, he flipped.
"You want my license? I'm going for pancakes, I'm not buying the Hope diamond,' and they refused to seat us," Russo said, recounting his experience this week at the Quincy IHOP.
The restaurant now has agreed to reverse the policy of requiring customers to turn over their driver's licenses before they can order — a rule that was enacted to discourage "dine and dash" thefts.
WCVB-TV in Boston reported the Quincy restaurant's policy had been enacted without corporate approval.
IHOP Corp., based in Glendale, Calif., released a statement Monday night to WCVB that said an employee felt the policy could eliminate the problem of people leaving without paying.
"This was done without the knowledge or approval of management. ... We apologize to any guest who was inconvenienced," the statement said.
Russo said a security guard at the restaurant had "at least 40" licenses in hand when he arrived to eat.
"Identity theft is rampant. I wouldn't want to give my license, with my address or Social Security number to anyone that I'm not familiar with," Russo said. "I'm going just for breakfast."
Life-sized turtle mold project helps raise money CHARLESTON, S.C. — First came
cows and palmetto trees — as well as deer, moose, dinosaurs and cod. Now come the turtles
This spring, dozens of decorated turtles will be sunning themselves along Charleston's streets as part of "Turtles on Parade." The loggerheads will be the work of artists using life-size molds of 3-foot-long, 300-pound loggerheads.
It's the latest in the folk art craze that started with "Cows on Parade" in Chicago in the late 1990s. Six years ago, the Palmetto Tree Project featured dozens of colorful statues of palmetto trees scattered around Columbia.
Other cities have seen everything from deer and dinosaurs to caribou and cod and, in Myrtle Beach, there were carousel horses.
The turtle project, which will be on display as part of the Piccolo Spoletto, was the idea of Robin Asbury, who, while working for the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, helped create a pride of lions.
He expects as many as 75 turtles to be part of the exhibit with the money raised going to sea turtle rescue and other conservation work at the South Carolina aquarium.
Business sponsors support the project and pick proposals from artists, who get a $1,000 stipend. The statues will remain on display through the summer when they will be auctioned as part of a final fundraiser.
"It's innovative. It's educational
it's whimsical. It's fun. It's great

A one spot foxface rabbitfish bit the 19-year-old aquarist Tuesday night while he was working on his fish tank in East Rockaway, said Nassau County Police Officer Thomas Brussell.
TWO RIVERS, Wis. — A squirrel got a fiery surprise when it apparently got curious about a chimney.
Brussell said East Rockaway firefighters took the young man to a local hospital with a bite to his left index finger around 9:25 p.m., but information on his injuries and condition wasn't available early Wednesday.
The species, known by the scientific name Siganus unimaculatus, has venomous spines on its back, according to fishbase.org, an electronic database maintained by researchers. Also called the blotched foxface rabbitfish, the fish is found in tropical seas off western Australia, the Philippines and other parts of the western Pacific Ocean.
Police would not release the man's name.

Lecture series to feature creationist as final speaker
The Commons, a joint effort of the Hall Center for the Humanities and the Biodiversity Institute, will sponsor the sixth and final lecturer in its Fall 2006 Knowledge: Faith and Reason series at 7:30 tonight at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union.
Michael Behe, professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University, will discuss the argument for intelligent design in biology.
The Hall Center has brought speakers to present diverse views on roles of reason and faith in the human experience. Behe is a creationist, biochemist and author of the book "Darwin's Black Box."
There will be a public discussion about Behe's lecture 10.a.M Friday at the Conference Hall in the Hall Center, east of the Dole Human Development Center.
Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center, said he was gratified by the number of people who came to hear previous speakers such as Ken Miller, professor of biology at Brown University, and Richard Dawkins, professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University.
"I think many of the speakers we've had over the entire semester have obviously been quite critical of intelligent design," Bailey said.
The series will end Dec. 7 with a panel discussion featuring representatives from the Kansas State Board of Education; the Kansas Area United Methodist Church; Richard Lariviere, executive vice chancellor & provost; Derek Schmidt, Kansas Senate Majority Leader and Edward O. Wiley, professor and senior curator ecology and evolutionary biology.

The fact-finding hearing in the ongoing contract negotiations between the University of Kansas and its graduate teaching assistants was postponed Wednesday and has yet to be rescheduled.
Katy Martin, lead negotiator for the Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition, said the GTAs requested the hearing be postponed because of a family situation affecting the group's attorney. Martin said the attorney and the fact-finder had discussed possible dates for rescheduling the hearing.

Both sides had hoped to have the decision made by the end of the calendar year.

Law admissions test changes slightly
Oversight council says alterations should not scare students into taking test prematurely
LSAT Changes
BY KIM LYNCH
Writing Prompt From: Students are randomly assigned one of two prompts, either a decision or an argument. To: Only a decision prompt will be assigned.
Reading Comprehension New: A comparative reading section, consisting of two short passages followed by questions about them.
Source:www.Isac.org
The Law School Admissions Test will change just a bit beginning June 2007, but that's no reason for students to worry according to the Law School Admission Council, which made the changes after extensive research.
Wendy Margolis, director of communications for LSAC, said the test would basically be the same. She said that students should not worry about the changes and that no one should rush to take the test before the changes are made.
Free preparation materials would be provided online at the LSAT Web site, www.lsac.org, beginning
February, Margolis said.
"We firmly believe the preparation material we put up in February will be sufficient for the test in June," she said.
Adam Fout, San Diego senior, who works for Kaplan Test Preparations and Admissions, said he was considering taking the test in June, but when he heard about the changes, decided to take it in February.
"I'd rather do that and know what I'm going up against than having something new," he said.
Fout said the LSAT might be harder in June because no one had seen the new version before. He said the time frame from February to
June would probably not be enough time to prepare for the changes.
She expects to have questions from students about the changes as June draws closer and students begin preparing for the test.
Wendy Rohleder-Sook, Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center pre-law adviser, said she recently sent an e-mail to inform pre-law students about the changes but hadn't received any responses or questions thus far.

Iran president recommends U.S. troops withdrawal
BY EDITH M. LEDERER ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS — Iran's president urged the American people in an open letter Wednesday to demand the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and reject what he called the Bush administration's "blind support" for Israel and its "illegal and immoral" actions in fighting terrorism.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's letter to "Noble Americans," which was distributed by Iran's mission to the United Nations, also accused Bush of governing by "coercion, force and injustice."
Ahmadinejad appealed to the American people to work to reverse the U.S. leader's policies, and called on the Bush administration and
the new Democratic-controlled Congress to heed the results of the recent midterm elections.
U. S. State Department spokesman Tom Casey called the letter "something of a public relations stunt or a public relations gesture" by the Iranian government, and said it was a shame Ahmedinejad did not allow people in his own country the opportunity to have a free and open debate of political ideas and views.
Ahmadinejad urged Bush to put the United States "wealth and power in the service of peace, stability, prosperity and the happiness of all peoples through a commitment to justice and respect for the rights of all nations, instead of aggression and war."
In a message to Democrats, he said: "You will also be held to
account by the people and by history"
"But if the approach remains the same, it would not be unexpected that the American people would similarly reject the new electoral winners," he said, adding that the recent elections did not reflect a victory but rather "the failure of the current administration's policies."
Ahmadinejad's letter also said the U.S. invasion of Iraq has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, an exponential growth of terrorism and the destruction of Iraq's infrastructure.
"I consider it extremely unlikely that you, the American people, consent to the billions of dollars of annual expenditure from your treasury for this military misadventure," he said.
He suggested it would be ben
eficial for the U.S. to withdraw its troops from Iraq and spend its money instead on domestic problems, citing the "many victims" of Hurricane Katrina who continue to suffer and "countless" Americans living in poverty.
He also said the Bush administration's policies in its fight against terrorism were harming Americans directly.
"The U.S. administration's illegal and immoral behavior is not even confined to outside its borders. You are witnessing daily that under the pretext of 'the war on terror', civil liberties in the United States are being increasingly curtailed," he said.
He then added, "I have no doubt that the American people do not approve of this behavior and indeed deplore it."

Fan suffers injury after students tear down goalposts
KU, KSU postgame melee injures three
BY DAVID LINHARDT
She didn't know she'd leave the game with a facial laceration and a mild concussion.
Jesse Morgan, who watches KU football games on the grassy hill outside the stadium, knew elated fans would tear down the goalposts after the Jayhawks' 39-20 victory against cross-state rival Kansas State.
Fans broke and carried the goalposts up the hill toward Morgan, Concordia resident, and her three children. The crowd seemed much larger than usual, Morgan said, and she got worried as the fans surged toward her with the pieces.
Morgan glanced back to check her kids, turned around, and the blunt end of a goalpost smashed into her forehead.
"Mom, you're bleeding!" her son Tristin said.
Capt, Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety office spokesman, said three people reported injuries after the K-State game, including Morgan and two others.
Zak Phillips, Lawrence, was cut on his right hand by the torn end of one goalpost piece. Morgan McQuoi, Lawrence, twisted her leg in the crowded turmoil as the goalposts came down, Bailey said.
Phillips and McQuoi could not be reached for comment this week.
Morgan has seen the goalposts come down several times before but has never had a brush with injury. Morgan said she suspected the sheer number of people contributed to the confusion.
Her children weren't hurt. Morgan went to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after the game but did not need stitches. Physicians said she'd received a mild concussion.
"The whole thing was a scary experience," Morgan said. "I was in so much shock. I was more worried about my kids."
Morgan said the KU Athletics Department had been closely attentive to her situation and promised to pay all of her medical expenses.
"That really makes me respect KU's Athletics Department more than I already do," Morgan said.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, condemned tearing down goalposts and called fans' actions "extremely dangerous." However, Marchiony said Memorial Stadium would not become a "police state" to keep goalposts intact. A pair of new goalposts costs the University about $7,000.
"People have died doing this," Marchiony said. "The people who are doing this are mindlessly ignoring that fact."
Marchiony said the message about leaving goalposts alone seemed to be getting through. He noted that many KU students remained in the stands and booed fans on the field as the goalposts came down.

DUMPSTER
(CONTINUED FROM 1A)
FANK OF JAMES
Amanda Sellers/KANSAN
Tyler Davis, 24, of Lawrence, sifts through music and books thrown away in a dumper. He tries to dumpster dive late at night after stores have closed and thrown out their trash. He usually finds items that have little damage and are in good condition so he is able to reuse them.
E G
He hopped inside and began searching, holding items up to the dim light of his cell phone and inspecting them. Davis used to use a flashlight, but said the light made him much more noticeable to passers-by. Standing inside the dumpster, he was invisible to anyone who drove through the neighboring parking lot.
Tyler Davis, 24, of Lawrence, looks at an herbal supplement he found on a dumpster dive. He said he gave away most of what he found to friends.
Davis examined several books, checking copyright dates to see if they could be re-sold. Last year when students moved out for the summer, he found six or seven books that he sold for $300. Lots of valuable items are dumped by students at the end of the school year, he said.
"Aha!" Davis exclaimed when he thought he found a keeper: an American government textbook. But a second look told him it was outdated. Usually this dumpster was full, Davis said. But that night, items barely lined the bottom of the bin. Disappointed, Davis drove on to his next stop. He grabbed a cardboard box from inside the overflowing dumpster and started loading it with bags of hotdog and hamburger buns and packages of bell peppers. Davis said most of the items were edible.
"I've bought worse than that," he said, holding up a package of expired hotdog buns.
In two hours, Davis made seven stops within a two-mile radius. In the end, he took away nearly a dozen jugs of fruit punch, bell peppers, bread, magazines for his friends, and more than half a dozen books. Davis said this was typical of the time he spent making a night of dumpster diving.
At the last stop of the night, Davis rummaged through a heap of white trash bags, opening each one and peering in or sniffing its contents.
"Eww, gross!" he said when he opened a soggy bag of rotting seafood. Its fishy odor wafted through the night air. He tossed the bag
Amanda Sellers/KANSAN
back onto the pile, and carefully opened a sack beside the trash bin. Amid orange peels and other food scraps, Davis found loose leaf bok choy, a type of cabbage that the business had tossed
businesses would get a compactor or fence off their dumpsters. He said some people relied on the dumpsters for a source of food.
Of all the items he collected that night, Davis said the bok choy was all that he would keep and use. The rest he would give to friends. He has reached a point where he has too much stuff, and his live-in girlfriend
"I'm a firm believer that whatever you need, somebody else already used it and threw it away."
TYLER DAVIS Lawrence resident
Davis asked that the specific names of businesses he visited not be used in the story for fear that
because it was too limp to sell. He grabbed a fistful out and then carefully re-tied the bag, leaving it as he had found it.
Davis said it was important to respect business establishments. He said that people left messes behind at the Goodwill store and that the store had erected a fence barrier and installed a compactor.
gets upset. Their apartment is furnished with many items that Davis found in the trash, including a computer monitor, two laptops, a set of bookshelves complete with stacks of books, DVD players and much more.
Davis, like
other dumpster divers, said he dove to save money and because he didn't like wastefulness.
He said he didn't look for food often in Lawrence because he knew there were other people who depended on it. He has, however, been dumpster diving for food in other towns.
Like Davis, Brummett said he went dumpster diving whenever he needed something, like furniture.
"I'm a firm believer that whatever you need, someone else already used it and threw it away." Davis said.
Joel Brummett, 19, has been rummaging through trash since he was little. He said dumpsters were an untapped resource for free stuff.
"I had some gnarly tacos in Austin," Brummet said. "Sometimes meat can be a little shady, but bread is always easy to come by."
Others search the garbage in Lawrence for a thrill.
Emily Magee, 2003 alumna, said she and her friends found several computers that a lab on campus had thrown out one summer. They took the machines home, tested out their parts on her computer, then pieced together the working parts. Magee said the computer they built worked, but very slowly. She kept it for about a year as a "trophy."
Some dumpster divers are motivated by ideological beliefs, like Graham Kenady, 19, who gets food from the trash as a way of protesting wastefulness. Kenady is a Freegan, someone who forages goods rather than purchasing them as much as possible, to minimize waste. He said he scavenged on a daily basis, and got about half of his food and other items from the garbage. The best recent find was a set of golf clubs that he pawned for $20.
Bob Yos, Lawrence Solid Waste Division manager, said his crews that collected the garbage had seen all kinds of things go to waste, including charcoal grills, boxes of ammunition, stereos and ladders.
They even found a human skeleton once that police determined came from the house of a retired professor.
The Jefferson County landfill, where waste from Lawrence is taken, is off-limits to scavengers and a Lawrence ordinance makes it unlawful for someone to confiscate contents of waste receptacles or materials placed out for recycling. Yoos, however, said he had never seen anyone get in trouble for rummaging through trash.
"I guess he decided to clean the skeleton out of his closet," Yoos quipped. "The crew that saw it was very startled."
Several local businesses even accommodate dumpster divers by placing leftovers outside in a clean garbage bag, although many of their regulars are hungry people who need the food, not recreational scavengers like Davis.
A manager at Rudy's Pizzeria said he set four or five leftover pizzas outside at the end of the night in boxes for people to take. He said most of the people who came for them were regulars who were respectful of the trash area and kept the space around it clean. Some of them even show up early to help take out the trash or
clean up, he said.
But for scavengers who don't act out of necessity, dumpster diving is a way to recycle useful products and recover abandoned treasures.
Despite the bugs, the used diapers, the stench of rotting food and the potential embarrassment of being seen waist-deep in trash, dumpster divers who don't act out of necessity consider their nighttime activity as a way to recycle, save money, discover abandoned treasures or simply to feed themselves.

CHINA (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN
1. What is the name of this exhibition?
2. What are some notable features of this exhibition?
3. How did the curator(s) intend to use these images in the exhibition?
4. Did any of the artists present their work at this exhibition?
5. Is there a connection between the images and the theme of the exhibition?
6. Are there any specific themes or messages that the artists wish to convey?
Blanca Baker, Overland Park senior, looks at photos from the Made In China exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art. The exhibit, featuring photography of KU students from summer study abroad courses, will be at the museum through Feb. 4. "It's a really clever way to explain people's experiences." Baker said of the exhibit.
Lau said they were embarrassed that she was naked, and his colleague was crying so hard that her camera was wet.
"I was crying inside" Lau said. "These are real things students get to see that they will never forget. They have heard of poverty, but they've never seen it, they've never touched it, until that day."
The trip was an eye-opening experience for students, who lived with locals and visited factories in Guangdong province, in southern China.
Lau said the factories were "sensitive areas" closed to the public. He spent 10 years building relationships in order to gain access for students.
Inside the factories, they could smell the paint, Lau said. Workers, some the same age as students or younger, hand painted eyelashes and rosy cheeks on Barbie dolls and assembled Batman figures.
Students spent three days during the trip in Yao-on village learning about lost culture there.
Lau compared the village to small towns in Kansas, where inhabitants moved away and never returned, only in the village, the people moved to work in the factories.
Cathy Brashler, Chicago sophomore, said one of her favorite memories was standing in the middle of the road in the village when the school bell rang, and 30 children flooded
out of school. They got excited and charged toward her when they saw her, she said.
"You have no idea what they're even saying," she said. "You feel like a celebrity."
The exhibit includes dozens of photos and yellow tags with quotes from 24 students on the trip, set against a red backdrop. The yellow labels represent clothing tags, such as "Made in China," May Tveit, professor of design, said.
"There are many stories to be told beyond the product labels," she said. "We were inspired by that format of communication."
After the exhibit ends, Lau said he hoped to auction some of the photographs to raise money for people in China who have lost something. He and students started raising funds to help the family they met on their trip. Yau is traveling back to China in December with three photographers.
Elizabeth Rae Dominguez-Santos, 24, of Lawrence, died Wednesday morning in a two-car accident on 1-70. Four other passengers and both drivers were injured in the accident.

In the report, weather was not cited as a contributing factor because the accident occurred before freezing rain began to fall in the early afternoon.
Espinabarro was injured and taken to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka by AMR Ambulance.

junior, said he expected the snowy weather to arrive today instead of Wednesday.
Knoernschild enjoyed the weather by playing frisbee outside of Pearson Scholarship Hall with several other students. He said that playing frisbee helped to keep him warm, but that there was a better reason for playing.
"Mainly, I don't have anything better to do" he said.
Knoernschild said other than playing sports, he had another method of keeping warm during the icy winter weather.
"I just take it like a man and wear lots of clothes." Knoernchild said, "Mainly the clothes part. I wear an extra pair of underwear sometimes."
The National Weather Service in Topeka declared a Winter Weather warning at 12:12 p.m. Wednesday. The announcement stated the Northeast part of Kansas could expect rain and sleet and predicted heavy ice accumulation. The service later extended the winter storm warning until 6 a.m. Friday and added possible snow accumulations of three to nine inches.

Long said the University considered the public safety office, media and bus routes for school districts and KU on Wheels and made a recommendation to the provost. Long said after all information, current conditions and the weather forecast were evaluated a recommendation was made.
The chancellor or provost and the executive vice chancellor implement the Inclement Weather Policy.
An emergency declaration is announced during the day via news media after 5:45 p.m. and by the Incllement weather line, 864-SNOW, after a 6 a.m. The
When the Inclement Weather Policy is implemented, non-exempt employees are normally allowed a one-hour period to report to work or employees working are allowed one hour to depart.
Information Center at 864-3506 and campus "calling trees" announce information during the workday.
Class Cancellation
When forecasts or weather conditions suggest that travel could be hazardous, a decision is made at 5:30 a.m. between the provost and executive vice chancellor or chancellor whether to cancel class.
During the workday, the same procedures are used to dismiss employees or to cancel afternoon or evening classes.

Britney enjoys single life, maybe too much
PEOPLE
BY ERIN CARLSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Brittney Spears is behaving more like her soon-to-be ex-husband, Kevin Federline, than a pop princess on the verge of a career comeback.
Fresh from her split from the club-hopping Federline, Spears looked hip and wholesome weeks ago in a surprise appearance on David Letterman's show and while ice skating in New York's Rockefeller Center in a gap sweater.
But now she's unleashing her inner wild child, running around with party girls Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, sporting unflattering hair extensions and flashing her apparently panty-less crotch to the paraparazzi. Be prepared to cringe if you dare to view the uncensored photos, splashed unceremoniously across the Web.
"She's a beautiful girl and now that she's single and she's having fun, I think she's just trying to express herself", said New York-based celebrity image consultant Amanda Sanders. "Unfortunately, it's the wrong message that's coming across. And the shame is she was really such a role model."
Spears, who turns 25 on Saturday,
and Hilton were inseparable while hitting L.A. hotspots over the holiday weekend. People magazine reported Wednesday on its Web site that the duo will co-host the 2006 Billboard Music Awards, scheduled to air live in Las Vegas on Monday (Fox, 8 p.m. EST).
Representatives for Hilton and Spears did not respond to messages Wednesday.
She's enjoying the single life — and who can blame her after putting up with K-Fed's antics? — but many Spears watchers disapprove of her decision to cavort with Hollywood's most infamous heiress.
In a post on Spears' MySpace.com page, a female fan urged Spears "to read this so you understand how your fans may see the situation ... now your children need you so do the right thing Brit, and be a mother and forget the partying."
Rosie O'Donnell said Wednesday on "The View" that Spears should stop bonding with Hilton and move in with her, her partner Kelli and their kids so she could have a "stable family around her."
Can the mother of two young sons return to the sexy yet sweet Britney of yore?
Maybe, maybe not. But she might reconnect with her fans by
making savvy career moves, said Entertainment Weekly magazine executive editor Lori Majewski — like doing a duet with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, or sitting — not jumping — on Oprah Winfrey's couch.
"The public can be very forgiving and, you know, if she were to go on Oprah, the court of public opinion could quickly turn," Majewski said.
"A few tears and the words 'I'm sorry' can go a long, long way. Or 'I'm embarrassed' or 'I didn't mean to'..."
But the ultimate key to the success of a future career for her is a new — it doesn't have to be a wholesome image — but a new, cleaned-up image and a hot single."
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2006

OPINION
》 OUR VIEW
A common complaint about young Americans is that we lack the civic engagement and activist bent of the preceding generations. Our attention to and knowledge of foreign affairs, for example, probably pales in comparison to that of our parents' though that may be a product of fewer large-scale foreign conflicts. So how, our elders wonder, are they to force us to become more involved in the actions of our government?
Efforts to encourage the participation and engagement of young people in both domestic and foreign affairs are based on good intentions. Our grandparents' generation showed what legions of committed fighters can accomplish in pursuit of a noble goal. However, Rangel's largely symbolic bill would encounter two main problems if passed.
Drafting all straw men
Enter Rep. Charles Rangel of New York. In what has become a yearly tradition, Rangel will again propose a bill that would require public service of Americans between the ages of 18 and 42. While the bill is geared mostly to encourage military service, it would provide alternate positions in the civil service corps. Rangel, a Korean War veteran himself, proposed a similar bill in 2003 that was overwhelmingly defeated, with Rangel himself curiously voting against his own bill.
First, we would see a massive increase in federal spending and
bureaucracy. The defense budget already accounts for a gigantic proportion of U.S. discretionary spending, and would increase exponentially if millions of new soldiers were added. The ensuing spike in federal employment, along with all the benefits and payments therein, would likely cause a strain on the national economy. Second, Rangel is overlooking the profound cultural shift required for draft reinstatement. Current students have grown up knowing only the concept of a volunteer military, and suddenly requiring service would be an unwelcome affront to many young people's concepts of liberty and career freedom.
If Rangel is serious about encouraging service and foresight, perhaps he should look inward. It has been suggested by some that if military service were required of legislators themselves, or of their children, they might be less cavalier about committing a volunteer military to a given conflict. A Congressman might think twice about approving military action if he had a more personal stake in the proceedings and outcome.
Students should not worry about Rangel's bill passing in the near future, but should heed the bill's intent. Taking a greater interest in public affairs must be a goal for Americans of all ages.

GUEST COMMENTARY
'Hawk fans in contempt of court
I have always been very proud of jayhawk fans and think we are some of the best fans the Big 12 has to offer. However, this month I'm about as embarrassed as I've ever been with my own fan base. It all started after a victory against an unranked K-State football team to a handful of students tore down the goalposts. It continued when our basketball队 beat No.1 Florida in Las Vegas and fans stormed the floor. It's time to start acting like we've been there before.
However, the thing that is really disappointing was the home game against Dartmouth this past Tuesday, following the Florida game, when there were a good 2,500 empty seats. A good portion of those seats were student seats. The University has 28,000 students and we can't even fill the fieldhouse?
I know some students may have tests or homework but this wasn't the only game this season that has not been filled to capacity. Besides the opener, no other game has been full to capacity, thanks to the students. There is no excuse for this. We have the No. 5 team in the country and are known for having some of the best basketball fans in the nation. Just because the 'Hawks play a no-name team doesn't mean it's a free pass to not support the team. How do you think our players felt when they ran out of the tunnel on Tuesday, after winning the biggest game of their career three nights earlier, to an Allen Fieldhouse only three-quarters full!
Many of you students not showing up for these games are taking your tickets for granted, and if student attendance doesn't improve
I can almost guarantee you that Athletic Director Lew Perkins will cut back student seating next year and sell the tickets to the public. And he should. There are many people who would do almost anything to go to a Jayhawk basketball game but can't find tickets because the games are sold out most of the time.
Another disappointing trend is how many fans don't wear blue to the games. The majority of the students are pretty good about wearing blue, but as the season has progressed fewer students are wearing blue. How dumb does it look when a jayhawk fan shows for a game against the Dartmouth Big Green in a green KU shirt? I saw several. I'm not saying don't ever buy a pink or green KU shirt, but don't wear it to a sporting event. It just looks silly. Our colors are crimson and blue, not green, yellow, pink, orange or any other bright or creative color.
Almost every other school in the country has their school colors figured out. If you attend a K-State game in Manhattan, they all wear purple. If you attend a Nebraska game in Lincoln, they all wear red. It's preschool logic, really. That is where we learned our colors, right? Can you imagine how cool it would look to paint the Fieldhouse blue?
To the students who actually show up and wear blue, keep up the good work. To the students slacking, let's pick it up and make Kansas the best fan base in not only the Big 12, but also the whole country.

Franti's lyrics window into war
A few rhyming bumper stickers does not an anti-war activist make. Today, youth proudly display bumper stickers that say things like "Buck Fush," or "You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into peace." For the 18-25-year-old demographic, it's cool to protest the war in Iraq. I'm not sure if it's the rumblings of rebellious youth testing the boundaries set by their parents, or if we really feel that war is wrong. Writer Rich Brooks of the Sarasota-Tribune Herald stated it perfectly when he wrote, "Without the threat of Uncle Sam taking away your freedom, today's college students don't have a stake in the Iraq war."
How is this demographic supposed to understand the war? One answer is to listen to Michael Franti and Spearhead's newest CD, Yell Fire. A year ago, Franti was just another singer angry with U.S. politics and the decision to invade Iraq. However, instead of writing a few hit singles about it, he decided to go to the Middle East. While visiting Iraq, Israel and Palestine, he didn't talk to politicians and religious leaders — he talked to the people. He talked to soldiers on both sides,

Frank Taurian, opinion editor
864-4724 or frankan@kanan.com
Franti's answer is that we're all human. Geographic boundaries, religions and skin tone may divide us, yet we're all residents on Earth together. In the song "Hello Bonjour," Franti sings, "Don't tell a man that he can't come here' cause he got brown eyes and a waxy kinda hair / Don't tell a woman that she can go there because she prays a little different to a God up there /
You say you're a Christian 'cause God made you / You say you're a Muslim 'cause God made you / Then we all kill each other 'cause God told us to?"
The war in Iraq has been connected to the Vietnam War, which had a strong youth anti-war following. However, those Vietnam War protestors were attempting to avoid the draft and create cultural change. In a society that has no draft but does have political apathy, why should youth be expected to care about the war?
According to the London newspaper The Guardian, "The Bush administration's response to its critics in the entertainment industry has been to portray them as pampered liberals out of touch with ordinary Americans." So while artists can benefit by filling a niche market for anti-war music, Franti took on the task of relating emotions of distrust, anger and fear on a human level for all listeners to understand. He offers a voice and a conscience to a generation that has never been held responsible. Yes, there are 18-25 year-olds who are anti-Bush and anti-war, yet cannot find Iraq on a map, or believe the Gaza Strip to be the name of a steak. However, Franti's music presents a vivid picture that may influence followers to become activists.
Tasha Riggins is a Lawrence graduate student in journalism.
In the song "What I've Seen," Franti sings of things that aren't seen on the 6 p.m. news: "Razor wire on the street, every corner / 90 degrees at six in the morning / Run like mad just to make a connection / Pack what you need for your own protection." Showing, not telling, Franti puts listeners as close as he possibly can to the Iraqi position.
TALK TO US
"Love Enough," in which he asks,
"What language are your tears?"
Franti doesn't use political terminology that most cannot comprehend. He likens Iraqis to Americans by inextricably linking us and them. The end result is an "other" with a shared understanding. How many of us have been to the Middle East? Most of us don't have that human connection to the war-torn area, particularly Iraq. By making a multitude of connections between the two cultures, Franti attempts to break down the distance barriers. An example of this is in the song

Franti views war on a human scale. He doesn't give numbers of bodies. There have been an estimated 655,000 Iraqis killed as of this July, according to a study done by Johns Hopkins University. Imagining 655,000 units of anything is hard enough — imagining 655,000 bodies is even more out of Americans' realms of imagination. Putting a face with the cause creates a relationship between the cause and the activist. Franti attempts to build that connection for his young fan base. He's the pied piper of peace for the youth music market.

BAIL (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Steve Robson of Lawrence reviews arrest and warrant information with a man he has just taken into custody. Robson had loosened the man's restraining device so that he could smoke a last cigarette before being processed Into the Douglas County jail.
pursuit of fugitive skips in Hawaii.
The show glorifies the adventurous side of being a bail bondsman: fugitive recovery. However, bondmen must be accessible 24 hours a day, ready to take that one phone call allowed to those in jail.
Robson said he performed a "community service." If the people he bells were left in jail, more tax dollars would be needed for jail space. But Robson said the public perceived him negatively.
"The most frustrating thing about being in the bail-bond business to me is the way that most of the community almost looks down on you like you are one of the criminals for getting people out of jail," he said.
It didn't help the image of local bondsmen in September when Jim Price, 69, owner of A-1 Bail Bonds, committed the biggest faux pas in the business. His armed recovery agents apprehended the wrong man, who had the same name as the fugitive who skipped. The innocent victim spent a night in jail. Price said health problems could have contributed to the mix-up. In early October, Robert Fairchild, chief judge of Douglas County District Court, suspended Price and his agency from writing bonds in Douglas County.
"The quickest way to get in trouble in the ball-bond business isn't writing bonds, it's picking people up," Robson said.

In addition to Price's recent trouble, the exposure of "Dog The Bounty Hunter" has created misper-
Loren Thormobsgard. 57, owner of Viking Bail Bonds in Topeka, said being a bail bondsman was nothing like the show.
Robson called Dog's dramatic recoveries "ridiculous."
"You can't jump out of a car with seven guys, badges hanging off of you with bulletproof vests, mace swinging all over the place running
down the street," he said. "Then criminals are going to be three miles ahead of you when you get out of the car. They'll spot you and be gone. You've got to sneak up on them."
Instead of exciting 'car chases, recoveries require a lot of patient sitting and waiting outside the homes of skips, and their friends or relatives, explained Ryan Messenger, 33, of Speedy Release Bail Bonds in Olathe.
Messenger, Dog aggressively and often with force, apprehends skips with the help of his wife, two sons and brother. He then lectures skips during the ride to jail. Conversations

Steve Robson of Lawrence peers into the window of a couple's house, trying to convince a woman he had bonded to come out so that he can take her to jail. If Robson and his team of bondsmen can't recover an individual whom they've bonded and subsequently misses his or her court date, Robson is liable for the full amount of the bond.
often end with the skip in tears and Dog telling them to "Go with Christ."
"I specifically instruct my guys to avoid confrontation. We don't kick down doors," he said, even though Kansas law allows it if the bondsman knows a skip is behind the door."
Kansas law grants bondsmen the power to apprehend clients and return them to jail if they miss a court date, but requires notifying law enforcement if they intend to make an arrest. That way, law enforcement can have an opportunity to accompany the bondsman. Each state is different; not all even allow bail bondsmen to become bounty hunters.
In contrast to Robson and

as police, he said.
Not seen on TV are the early morning trips to the jail, the paperwork writing bonds and the time spent on the phone or the long hours.
Messenger said he worked about 16 hours a day, mostly on the phone. He racks up as much as 10,000 minutes on his phone each month. His cell phone bills average $200 monthly, he said.
Robson is often exhausted during the day after waking up throughout the night to answer his phone. He estimates that more than half of his client calls come between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
"When people want out of jail, they don't care what time it is," Robson said.

bondsman requirements
Steve Robson said "Dog The Bounty Hunter" had created the impression that any wannabe can become a bail bondman, but there are conditions.
The 155 resident bail bondsmen currently licensed by the Kansas Insurance Department had to:
The life of a bail bondsman can

- Complete 12 hours of property and casualty courses plus one hour of ethics

Passing the test allows the person to write bail bonds, but not other types of insurance like car or life insurance. The 51 non-resident bail bondsmen in Kansas only had to be in good standing in their home state to write bonds in Kansas.

This is how it works: When you get arrested and a judge sets a bail amount, you have three options. You can pay the court the entire amount, stay in jail until your court date, or call a bondman who will charge you a 10 percent non-refundable premium and agree to pay the court the full amount if you don't show up for court. Your bondman will usually insist on having a co-signer, often a member of your family, who
Robson and Messenger don't bail many KU students out of jail, but when they do, the most common charge is a DUI, which has a $250 bail that many just pay. Robson said some got money from their parents for larger bonds.

Bondsmen make money by charging a 10 percent non-refundable premium. For example, if bail is set at $10,000, the bondsman charges a $1,000 fee. The minimum Robson charges is $75, so even bail amounts less than $750 entail a $75 fee.

power to arrest and physically return you to jail — and even charge you for costs incurred while he does it.
Robson said cosigners were the key to a successful bail-bond business.
He said his 15 bondmen had written more than 800 bonds in northeast Kansas since last December and
"They're going to help you find the person if they're missing or they're going to pay the bond," he said. "The success of your pickups depends on your ability to get good cosigners."

had to use. His 6-foot-2, 240-pound frame helps too.
"Ninety-nine percent won't go toe-to-toe in a fight with you," he said.
Robson said he sometimes deterred a skip from resisting by holding up a can of pepper spray. He'll also hold a taser gun that he's never used.
"I've had guys say, 'I don't want your big ass coming to get me, I'll go to court,'" Messenger said. Only about one out of five clients missed a court date last year, he said.

But some pickups have potential for violence. Brock Robson, 22, who works with his father at Ace, recalls a pickup when he was working for Viking in Topeka. Brock walked up behind the man and asked if he had anything on him, drugs or weapons. In fact, the man had a loaded 22-caliber pistol, a knife and five stolen credit cards. He had multiple felonies, but was taken back to jail without incident.
Brock serves as the "runner" during fugitive recoveries, responsible for chasing skips who run away. At 5-foot-9, 175 pounds, he's not big, but Thormobsgard, his former boss at Viking, said Brock was "very fast."
Ryan McGeeney/KANSAN
Brock said clients were sometimes surprised to see someone so young bail them out. Some older clients have glared at him with confusion and he's been called a "young pup", he
said.
Neither Robson nor Messenger typically carry guns, but Messenger did once. On one of his first pick-ups, Messenger was working with a recovery agent who gave him a shot-gun loaded with bean bag rounds. The two were approaching the skip's house, when a neighbor let his pit bull loose after Messenger warned him not to. Messenger shot the dog.
Brock said his mom worried about him when he's working. "She tells me to wear my seat belt and my bulletproof vest when I go on pick-ups" he said.
Robson recalled one pickup when a woman skip bit him so hard on his side, underneath his armpit, that she drew blood and left a black and blue dental imprint. That happened after he had emptied a can of pepper spray in her face to subdue her. Usually, the sight of pepper spray is enough to deter people, he said. He's suffered bumps, bruises and scrapes, but no broken bones and no one has ever shot at him.
"He ran away with his tail between his legs," Messenger said.
Bondsmen said that the rewards outweighed the risks and that they could make a good living. Messenger, who is single, earns $50,000 a year. He said the money wasn't the only reason he liked his job.
Steve Robson of Lawrence argues with a man who refuses to turn over his girlfriend, a skip 'who Robson attempts to arrest. After about a half hour, the woman finally turned herself over to Robson, having evaded him for more than a month.
"My enjoyment comes from knowing I help people get their stuff taken care of," he said. "Writing bail bonds is not just about collecting money and getting people out of jail. It's part social work, counseling and financial advising."
Robson wouldn't say how much money his business made, but he moved into a new office last March and is in the process of moving into a new house south of town. For Robson, it's more than money, it's a family thing. He said that it was about trust and comfort, and that his family had grown closer because of it.
"This is our livelihood," he said. "We have to make it work. This is how we make our living."

MEN'S GOLF
The Kansas men's golf team exceeded expectations this fall, turning what was originally considered a transitional season into a successful campaign. Despite losing several key players to graduation and an assistant coach to conference rival Colorado, Kansas posted four top five finishes this fall.
The Jayhawks wrapped up the season ranked 39th nationally, thanks in large part to the senior leadership of Gary Woodland and Tyler Docking. Woodland was the team's anchor, winning one tournament and never finishing outside of the top 10.
VOLLEYBALL

See 3B for more information on men's golf
The Jayhawk volleyball team ended a disappointing season and will not make a return trip to the NCAA tournament. The team could not get going on the road during conference play, during which the Jayhawks finished in last place in the Big 12. Injuries hurt the Jayhawks before the season started when Natalie Uhart had a season-ending knee injury. On the bright side, the team had freshmen who showed they could play at the Big 12 level. Coach Ray Bechard has signed two outside hitters for next season to replace this season's outside hitter, Iana Correa.
ROWING
See 4B for more information on rowing
The Kansas rowing team participated in four events this fall, including the first-ever night race in the United States. The Jayhawks built upon last season's success and had strong performances at each event, which gives them momentum as they head into the spring portion of their schedule, including a home event in late March.
» SWIMMING AND DIVING
The Kansas swimming and diving team continues to add to the success it experienced last season. The Jayhawks have competed in tournaments from Maryland to Nebraska in preparation for their spring campain, when they will head out for their annual trip to the Big 12 Championships in College Station, Texas. In addition to the Big 12 meet, the Jayhawks will also travel to Minneapolis, Minn., for the NCAA Championships. These two meets are what the team will use to gauge its success and have prepared for throughout the summer training and fall tournaments. As these tournaments get closer, the Jayhawks continue to experience success with minimal failure along the way.
See SB for more information on swimming and diving
SOCCER
Kansas played inconsistently throughout the season, and finding the back of the net became a chore for the offense. During a three-week stretch, Kansas lost four of six games, scoring only twice during that stretch. Goalkeeper Julie Hanley was the team's only constant, leading the Big 12 in shutouts and goals-allowed averages. The offense finally got on the same page as the Big 12's best defense, and the layhawks won four games to clinch fourth place in the Big 12. But a hot Colorado team ended Kansas' run. The Buffaloo defeated the layhawks twice in a row, the second of which was in the Big 12 Tournament and was Kansas' final game of the season.
The volleyball team suffered a lackluster season, starting with high expectations and ending with a dispointing 3-17 record.
See 5B for more information on soccer
SOFTBALL
After losing six seniors to graduation Kansas softball was worried about youth on the team. However, Kansas coach Tracy Bunge is confident the team can be just as successful, but reach that success in a different way. The success of the team in the spring
season is dependent on strong pitching and capitalizing on hits. The Jayhawks finished their fall season with a 9-3 record. During winter break, coach Tracy Bunge hopes to improve the Jayhawk defense and communication on the field.

CROSS COUNTRY
The goal for the cross country team was to finish better than last year.
Though a mighty task, the men's team, full of experienced talent, and the women's team, which welcomed nine freshmen, took the challenge head-on.
Head coach Stanley Redwine was excited for the program as the Big 12 Championships were held in Lawrence at Rim Rock Farms. Junior Colby Wissel kept the streak of Big 12 championship alive, winning the event.
Wissel and fellow junior Paul Hefferon were the high performers for the Jayhawks this season, finishing top two for the team every meet. The women placed 11th in the Big 12 and the men placed third. The men qualified for nationals, where they placed 20th as a team.
The women's golf team started the season with five freshmen and got a new assistant coach midway through the season. The team started strong, steadily improving during the first two tournaments with a ninth and third place finish. The season culminated in a victory at the Martlyn Smith Sunflower Invitational. The Jayhawks were unable to finish the fall strongly, finishing 14th and 15th in the final two tournaments. With the season half over, the Jayhawks will look to improve in the time off and make another strong showing when they travel to Ensenada, Mexico, for the Baja Invitational F. 5-6.
Wissel and Hefferson earned all-American status. Individually, the two performed better than last year, but as a team the Jayhawks finished about the same as last year.

ATHLETICS
Perkins likely to soon give coach Bill Self new contract
Athletics Director Lew Perkins has asked to meet with reporters covering the men's basketball team this afternoon, likely to announce a new contract for men's basketball coach Bill Self.
Self has this year and next remaining on a five-year contract he signed when he came to the University of Kansas in 2003. The current contract pays him about $1.1 million a year and also includes various incentives including two courtesy cars. Self is also eligible for a $600,000 retention bonus if he remains at Kansas through 2008.
This extension comes just a few months after football coach Mark Mangino received a hefty raise that converted him from the Big 12 Conference's lowest-paid coach to one of the top tier. Mangino now makes about $1.5 million a year. The announcement of Mangino's extension also came in a private meeting with beat writers and Perkins.
That Mangino was making more than Self at a school much more well-known for basketball surprised many.
This announcement would seem to confirm that Self will, if it is a contract extension, indeed be the coach of the Jayhawks for some time.
At the time, Perkins told local media that he was working on extensions for both Self and women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson. At the time, Perkins was quoted as saying he hoped Self stayed at Kansas for a long time.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Dartmouth game stats show ruthless slaughter
However, this wasn't just any run-of-the-mill beatdown, and the final score doesn't do it justice. Never before had a Kansas opponent failed so miserably to put the ball in the basket in Allen Fieldhouse, and it's been more than half of a century since any Kansas opponent has had such a futile scoring performance.
Sure, Kansas did what it was supposed to do and beat the tar out of Dartmouth on Tuesday. 83-32.
And at no time did the Jayhawks feel like taking it easy on their Ivy League foes.
"I just try to kill them more, really," freshman forward Darrell Ardell said.
Here's a rundown of the most impressive milestones set during the Jayhawks victory against the Big Green:
Dartmouth's 32 points were the fewest scored by a Kansas opponent in Lawrence since Idaho scored 28 in 1946, when Kansas played its home games in Hoch Auditorium.
Dartmouth's 32 points were the fewest by a Kansas opponent since Oklahoma State scored 27 at home in 1951.
Dartmouth made 12 field goals, which was the lowest total for a Kansas opponent since Nebraska had 10 at home in 1961.

FANTASY FOOTBALL THURSDAY
The Kansan reflects on and awards season's stars, underachievers and roster liabilities
With the fantasy football playoffs rapidly approaching, it's time to hand out the regular season awards. In true fantasy football fashion, each award will be a statue of a grown man sitting at his computer, pulling his hair out about which kicker to start in week three. There will be seven awards given out this year, which are as follows:
CHIROPRACTOR AWARD
This honor is given to the player whose back should hurt from carrying so many fantasy football squads this year. This award goes to LaDainian Tomlinson. Not much explanation is needed here, as Tomlinson is putting up numbers that were previously only attainable in Madden. Twenty-four touchdowns through 11 games, end of story.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA AWARD
Christina AGUILERA AWARD
This statue is given to the player who has repeatedly gone back and forth between looking absolutely fantastic and looking God-awful. This award has be given to Michael Vick. After throwing seven touchdowns in a two-week period, he's thrown just three touchdowns in the past four weeks. Unless Vick becomes running back eligible, his upswings and downswings will be
too much for most fantasy owners to handle. If you ever want a surefire way to start drinking bourbon by 1:30 on a Sunday afternoon, just start Michael Vick in one of your leagues. Trust me.
BO JACKSON AWARD
BO JACKSON AWARD The award given to the player who is 10 times better in video games than he is in real life. Think Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl. With apologies to Dante Hall, this honor is given to Reggie Bush. In Madden, Bush was rated as an 87 overall with 97 speed, 98 acceleration and 99 agility, easily the most dominant rookie in the history of Madden. In the real world, those attributes have translated into Reggie barely eclipsing three yards per carry. Houston fans can breathe a little easier about taking Mario Williams before Reggie Bush. Williams has had an impact with four-and-a-half sacks and is currently a better defensive end than Bush is a running back.
JENNIFER ANISTON CAREER ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Given to the player who has continued to look better with age. This one goes to Tiki Barber. It took until his sixth year in the league to finally eclipse the 1,300-yard barrier. At age 31, which is like 78 in running back years, Barber is putting up the best numbers of his career. In a smart move, Barber will ride into the sunset after this year, retiring to a life of news anchoring before his knees turn into silly putty. It's a fine idea, but could you really see a guy named "Tiki" reporting on the impact of a hike in interest rates on the real estate market? BODYNER DANGEROE FIELD AWARD
RODNEY DANGERFIELD AWARD Given to the player who "can't get no respect." Drew Brees is the recipient of this award. He is on pace to come within sniffing distance of 5,000 yards and all anyone wants to talk about is Peyton Manning's audibles and Tom Brady's "intangibles." Any quarterback who can turn Marques Colston and Devery Henderson into household names is a stud in my book.
KURT WARNER AWARD Given to the random no-name quarterback who comes out of nowhere to be a star. Tony Romo gets this one. Not only did he go from being a nobody backup out of Eastern Illinois to being the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, but he's also reportedly been socializing with Jessica Simpson. Talk about one of your all-time greatest turnarounds.
Although if the Giants want to beat the Cowboys this week, all they have to do is find a way to have Simpson's version of "Take My Breath Away" piped in to Romo's helmet headset.
HOMICIDE AWARD
Given to the player who has single-handedly killed the most fantasy squads this year. Daunte Culpepper makes a strong bid to become the first-ever player to win the award in consecutive years, but this award goes to Edgerrin James. In a year when running backs have been running wild — Torlinson, Barber, Gore, etc. — James is stuck at 695 yards through 11 games. I'm going to be honest: I drafted this joke of a running back in August and I hate myself for it. You will find me attending a 98 Degrees reunion tour wearing Capri pants before you ever catch me drafting an Arizona running back again.
Congratulations to all the winners, and good luck in the playoff run.

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Dartmouth hasn't had such a low scoring output since February 1990.
Those are only about half of the "fewest since" occurrences.
Making the 51-point victory even more impressive was that no matter who was in the game, the Jayhawks were able to score. And they prevented Dartmouth from scoring while junior center Sasha Kaun had another subpar game because of his healing knee.
"I think everybody feels more confident now," Arthur said. "We put the Oral Roberts game behind
us. We're trying to get everybody energized and everybody is pumped up now since the big win. We are going to come out every game and play tough and hard."
Of the 12 Jayhawks who entered Tuesday's game, only junior guard Jeremy Case failed to score. Seldomused players such as junior guard Rodrick Stewart, sophomore center Matt Kleinmann and freshman guard Brady Morningstar combined for 17 points.
Still, for the third straight game,
Kaun looked restricted by his knee.
He was one-for-four from the floor and missed his_only free-throw
attempt. He did have four rebounds and a steal, but fans would have liked to see better numbers against an anemic Dartmouth frontcourt during 15 minutes of action.
Kansas coach Bill Self said Kaun's knee was still bothering him.
“it's going to be a work in progress,” Self said. “The doctor said it's going to stay very sore and I think it is sore, but I don't think he hurt.”
The only other damper was that roughly 2,000 student seats were vacant for the first home game since upsetting then-No. 1-ranked Florida in Las Vegas.
But with high-profile home
match-ups like Southern California and Boston College approaching fast, Self isn't too concerned.
"How could you be disappointed in our fans the way they traveled to Vegas?" Self said of the Tuesday-night crowd. "This isn't a game that our students had circled from the beginning of the season."

To keep stands full, KU must bring back paper tickets
DR. RONALD COHEN
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
RCOLAIANNI@KANSAN.COM
I remember the good ol' days.
takes the good of days.
The days when the Allen Fieldhouse student section was full no matter who the opponent was. It didn't matter if Kansas was playing Binghamton or Michigan State.
Now it has all changed.
A good 2,000 seats remained unfilled in the upper corner of the student section against Dartmouth on Tuesday night. Maybe it was the fact that finals were approaching, or that many students had group projects or papers to complete.
Even a Big 12 conference game saw nearly 1,000 seats unfilled last year, although it was against Baylor.
The entire section should remain full from the non-conference throughout the Big 12 schedule. Students go to school at one of the top five basketball institutions in the country. The atmosphere should reflect a top five program, night in and night out.
This problem has been going on for nearly two years.
It began with the switch prior to last season from paper tickets for students to electronic tickets on students' KU cards.
Before the switch, students would receive vouchers at the beginning of the season when they picked up their football tickets. Then they would take those vouchers during redemption periods and pick up actual paper tickets to the game.
All students needed to do to get into the game was hand the paper ticket to the ticket taker with a student ID. There was no hassle of scanning the ID 15 times before it was processed.
More importantly, students were able to give their paper tickets to
another student if they couldn't go to a game. So when a paper came up or a student had a test the next day, someone could still go in a student's place. It didn't matter whether students had the basketball season-ticket package, they could still get in with a student ID. This process contributed to a full student section for every game.
Now students can either go to the Fieldhouse and get tickets put on their cards during redemption periods or go online and pay a $1 fee per game to get them via the internet. To get the tickets transferred to another ID, the student must bring both ID cards to the Allen Fieldhouse ticket office
I know some people have advocated just giving their student IDs to another person to get them in. Let's be honest though, it's harder to get into Allen Fieldhouse for a basketball game than it is to get most in bars in Lawrence with a fake ID. I know people who are asked for a second form of ID at the Fieldhouse every time they go.
This is one of the premier college basketball institutions.
Athletics director Lew Perkins needs to change the policy on student ID cards. Go back to the paper tickets and Perkins will see an increase in student attendance for the non-conference games. This will obviously cause a better atmosphere for students and would even help the Athletics Department sell a few more hot dogs.
I understand the plan to switch to an electronic system was envisioned by former student body president Nick Sterner, but the plan has failed and needs to be changed.
Let us get back to the good of days of seeing the Fieldhouse filled with blue in all places, including the student section.

Seniors surge during men's golf season
Tyler Docking assists Gary Woodland in leading team after assistant coach's early summer departure

Zach Oederson, Spring Hill soph.amore, chips in a shot at the Kansas Invitational golf tournament last season. Seniors Tyler Dockling and Gary Woodland posted the Jayhawks' best scores in four of five tournaments this fall.
BY ASHER FUSCO
The weeks leading up to the fall 2006 season were tense for coach Ross Randall and the Kansas men's golf team.
Earlier in the summer, assistant coach Roy Edwards left his post at Kansas to take the head coach position at Colorado.
Edwards' departure left a heavy load on the shoulders of senior Gary Woodland.
Luckily for Woodland, he received some help from fellow senior Tyler Docking.
The team got off to a strong start at the Rich Harvest Farms Intercollegiate, placing fifth. Woodland and Docking set a precedent in the first tournament of the year by posting the Jayhawks' best scores. This trend would continue throughout the season.
"Coming into this fall, we knew Gary would play well." Randall said. "We were very happy about Tyler Docking playing closer to what he is capable of."
In a season of surpassed expectations, Tyler Docking's play may have been the most pleasant surprise. "Over the summer, I spent a lot of time in lessons," said Docking.
The hard work paid off. Docking enjoyed two top five finishes this fall.
Steady play from Woodland and Docking was imperative considering the unsteady nature of the rest of the lineup. Sophomore Zach Pederson, senior Barrett Martens and freshman Bobby Knowles rounded out the Jayhawks starting five. All three performed well at times throughout the season but failed to post consistently
strong scores.
"Our last two spots were really shaky," said Randall. "The main problem was inconsistency from the bottom of our lineup."
Senior leadership propelled the team to a surprising 39th place in the Golfweek national rankings. With a new assistant coach in Kit Groves and a more experienced group of players, the Jayhawks could be ready

Docking had never fulfilled his potential. Fall 2006 was a different story.
"I felt good this year," said Docking. "I proved I could play with some of the best in the country."
Docking's best performance of the fall came in the Prestige at PGA West, where he shot a third-round 67 to lead the Jayhawks to a 5th place finish.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For years, a strong offensive line has been as much a given at Arrowhead Stadium as the smell of barbecue wafting from the parking lot and fans booming "home of the Chiefs" at the end of the national anthem.
But with one tackle trying to come back from a two-year absence and another stepping in for a retired perennial Pro Bowler, this season started with several question marks.
K.C. Chiefs find key players for playoff contention
Now, with Kansas City at 7-4 and in playoff contention, it appears the Chiefs have found the answers in'le tackle Jordan Black and right tackle Kyle Turley.
Black has started 10 games this year, nine at the spot once held by Willie Roaf before Roaf decided his aging body couldn't take any more.
And Turley, who spent two years away from the game after having back surgery, has settled in on the right side after starting the first two games at left tackle.
"They definitely have gotten a lot better, but to be honest with you, they weren't all that bad from
the get-go," guard Brian Waters said. "There were just a lot of people who probably don't understand football as much as they think they do, saying things that don't pertain to this team in regard to their play."
Black, who struggled last year when Roaf missed several games with a sore hamstring, took the brunt of the criticism.
"I want to say that I don't think about it, but at the same time, I know about it." Black said. "People have a job to do, and they have their opinions, and that's OK. But I'm out right now to prove those people wrong."
"I have a chip on my shoulder about it," he added, "but at the same time, I'm not out to be Willie Roaf. I'm out to be Jordan Black, and make a name for myself and help this team win."
The Chiefs' line got off to a horrible start in pass blocking this year, giving up seven sacks in the season opener against Cincinnati. In the 10 games since, though opponents have averaged 1.6 sacks against Kansas City.

Going into the fall season, the University of Kansas women's golf team knew that it would be a time of transition.
With five freshmen and a new assistant coach the young team was able to get some experience before the spring season, which brings the Big 12 tournament and nationals.
"The fall season has definitely been a learning experience for us," Annie Giangrosso, Overland Park junior, said. "We have been able to experience the ups of winning a tournament and the downs of not playing up to the level we are capable of."
BY JOSH LANDAU
After two good showings at Nebraska and Colorado, the Jayhawks won the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational.
The victory was subdued by the loss of Camilla Svensson, Gothenberg, Sweden, freshman. Svensson was sidelined by an appendectomy.
"A surgery like that is always bad, especially when I couldn't play." Svensson said. "It was hard to watch the team play from the sidelines, but I tried to give support to everyone."
"It was good for us," Amanda Costner, Claremore, Okla. senior said. "We needed to win that and everyone came together to do that."
After the victory the team stumbled in the final two tournaments of the fall season, finishing 14th in New Mexico and 15th in Alabama, both in a field of 17.
"It was a tough field we competed against and tough golf courses,"

Amanda Costner led the Jayhawks in three of five tournaments this season. She also was in the top 20 in four tournaments. Her best finish came during the Marilynn Smith Invitational, where she took fifth place.
"I had a pretty good season," Costner said. "I struggled in some tournaments, and obviously you can always do better."

Costner said. "We have the talent to win; it is just a matter of when we start clicking."
With the fall season done and the spring season starting in February, the team is taking the time off to improve and condition for the next tournament in Ensenada, Mexico.
"We didn't end the season on the note we had hoped for, but you have to look at the season overall and we
did well" Giangrosso said. "All of us are going to benefit from the fall and use the experience in the spring"

Rowing finishes fall season strong
》 FALL SEASON WRAP-UP
Kansas left Kansas State in its wake and now is looking forward to racing Texas
BY JEFF DETER
The Kansas Rowing team opened its 2006-2007 season with a splash in the dark in late September, competing in the first sanctioned night race ever held in the U.S.
At the Head of Oklahoma event in Oklahoma City, Kansas raced under stadium lights against the Women's U.S. National team and Louisville.
Although Kansas narrowly finished in last, senior coxswain Samira Naji said racing under the lights was something she wouldn't
"It was really fun," she said. "It was a new experience that we've never done before."
forget.
But Kansas didn't just come away with a moral victory. The Kansas Novice team, composed of more inexperienced rowers, finished first and second in Novice Four division and second in Novice Eight division.
A month later the Jayhawks traveled to Iowa City, Iowa, where they competed for the first time with their full team. More than 70 KU rowers rowed in the event.

Ardis Johnson, senior coxswain directs the Varsity 4 boat at the Big 12 Invitational Tournament Sunday morning at Wyandotte County Park. In Johnson's boat were Elishiva Patterson, Olathe sophomore, Brooke Castrop, Olathe freshman, Jessie Prince, Shawnee sophomore, and Ashley Brookerd, Lee's Summit, Mo. Junior.
The Jayhawks concluded their fall season with two early November races, the Head of Hooch, in Chattanooga, Tenn., and the Sunflower Showdown, at Tuttle Creek in Manhattan.
Coach Rob Catloth said competing well and winning the Open Eight at the Head of Hooch, instilled confidence in his team.
"I think that was a really good booster for morale and motivation for us," he said. "I think there were like, 3,500 competitors there."
In Kansas' next race, it carried that motivation to Manhattan and defeated K-State to complete its fall schedule on a high note.
Kansas' next race is scheduled for March 24 against Texas. Unlike its other races, Kansas will stay in Lawrence and race at the Kaw. Catloth said taking all the rowing equipment from city to city was not easy.
"We just did our job and performed well every race," Catloth said.
"You've got to take your 60-foot boat from here to there," he said. "It's not like shoulder pads or bats. It's a lot of work. We have to trailer everything. It's kind of like organized madness every year."
Spotlight Player
As a senior and coxswain of the rowing team, Naji is responsible for guiding the team through some
potentially rough waters. "The girls in the boat can't see where they're going," she said. "So my job is to steer them through a course." Seated at the front of the boat during each race, Najl must be aware of maneuvers made by other teams and call out moves to her teammates to counter them. "The girls trust me to take them to the shortest place," she said. "And no crashing."

The 6-foot Brazil native finished ninth in the Big 12 this season, averaging 3.78 kills a game. Correa, majoring in journalism, will work for the Athletics Department next semester and is unsure whether she will pursue a volleyball career in the future.
Injuries and a trend of first-game losses resulted in a dismal record for the volleyball team.

Losing the first game was a trend throughout the season. Kansas won the first game in just two of the 20 conference matches. For matches that started with a lost game, the Jayhawks were 3-18. But when they won the first game, they went 7-1.
Coach Ray Bechard looks at the Oct. 21 match at Texas A&M as a turning point. He said the team was in position to win the first game, but wasn't able to. Bechard said that if the first game had gone in the Jayhawks' favor, the outcome might have been different.

They lost a five-game match to Texas Tech on Oct. 28. Kansas was still in the NCAA tournament picture then and had a 2-1 lead, but couldn't clinch the victory.
"We got a year of experience," Bechard said. "But, we really need to make sure we got a year of volleyball IQ."
Brittany Williams, freshman middle blocker, filled in for Uhart and showed flashes of brilliance. She averaged 2.30 kills per game.

》 FALL SEASON WRAP-UP
Soccer doesn't quite finish season with success
KANSAS 12

The Kansas soccer team played well, but struggled with scoring during the fall season. The Jayhawks had good defense, but couldn't defeat the Buffaloes in the Big 12 tournament or during the team's final game of the fall.
BY MARK DENT
FILE PHOTO
Before Kansas traveled to San Antonio, Texas, for the Big 12 tournament, a Channel 6 Sports anchor challenged sophomore goalkeeper Julie Hanlev to a shootout.
Hanley barely had to move as she easily caught each one of the anchor's weak attempts.
Unfortunately for Hanley and Kansas, Colorado's shots proved harder to stop when the two teams faced off in a shootout during their first-round game.
Kansas tied Colorado 1-1 on Nov. 1 but didn't advance to the next round after Colorado made more penalty kicks in overtime. The tie to the Buffalooes ended an up and down season in which the Jayhawks (11-7-1, 6-4-1 Big 12 Conference) finished fourth in the Big 12 and were not selected for the NCAA College Cup.
"I was pleased with how we played," Kansas coach Mark Francis said about the loss to Colorado. "I thought we created better chances, but we should've finished more."
Finishing was Kansas' biggest problem throughout the season. The layhawks scored only 29 goals this season, behind eight other Big 12 teams. Kansas scored four goals in an early season victory against nationally ranked Duke, but its inability to score after that game
caused Kansas to "lose four out of six games from Sept. 22 to Oct. 8. Opponents shut out the jayhawks in four of those games and only
allowed them to score two goals.
During that dark stretch, Hanley was the lone bright spot for her team. She recorded two shutouts,
preventing Kansas from losing all six of those games, and allowed only one goal in each of the losses. Understandably, Hanley started to
wonder when the offense would start to pick it up.
"I think all of us — the defense — was getting a little bit frustrated." Hanley said. "We felt like we weren't taking advantage of our opportunities."
The offense finally came to life Oct. 13 against Iowa State. The Jayhawks scored two goals and added eight more during the next three games. Going into the last game of the regular season, Kansas was on a four-game winning streak and Hanley hadn't allowed a goal in 346 minutes.
Colorado halted both streaks. The Buffalooes defeated Kansas in the regular season finale and then did it again at the Big 12 tournament.
"I thought we'd be good this year, which isn't to say we weren't." Francis said. "We've just got to win close games."
Although the Jayhawks didn't finish the season they way they wanted, four players were named to the All Big 12 Second Team and two made the All Big 12 Newcomer Team. Next season, nine freshmen will join nine returning starters.

The sophomore midfielder received multiple honors, including All Big 12 Second Team and a spot on Soccer Buzz's National Team of the Week, mainly for scoring four game-winning goals this season.
More importantly, Bush, who paced the Jayhawks with eight goals, sparked the Jayhawks to four straight victories and a fourth place finish in the Big 12.

Swimming, Diving prepares for spring

In 2005-06, the team finished undefeated in the Big 12.
The Kansas swimming and diving team complemented last season's impressive campaign with a solid 2006 fall season, which the team used to prepare for the Big 12 and NCAA Championships that are held in the spring.
It is hard to expect to accomplish more than we did last season, but we are doing just that and it has given us motivation."
"We wanted to come together as a team, and last season did that for us. Last season really built up our confidence and momentum heading into this season," said assistant coach Jen Fox. "We are excited for the competition."
Since the loss, the team dominated Northern Iowa in one of its only home meets this season and placed second out of 15 teams in the women's division of the Maryland Invite.

FALL SEASON WRAP-UP
Softball coach adapts to recruits
Despite losing six seniors from last year's Big 12 championship team, the Kansas softball team has adapted to its youth and finished 9-3 for the fall season.
Kansas coach Tracy Bunge believes this team will be successful, but differently way than last year's team.
"We have a lot of talent in a lot of different places," Bunge said. "We have a lot of toughness. These kids come out and compete every day, and I love that about this team."
The team, which relied heavily on batting last year, will have to depend on strong pitching performances during the spring season from sophomore Valerie George, senior Kassie Humphreys and freshman Sarah Vertelka. The Jayhawks will have to rely on a less power-oriented offense.
"We cannot sit around for a home run to happen, but we are very capable of scoring some runs," Bunge said. "It is going to be a lineup where we string hits together and make some things happen offensively by executing."
Senior first baseman Nicole Washburn, sophomore middle infielder Stevie Crisosto and Humphreys have been named captains.
"They are really emerging as far as stepping forward and taking leadership responsibility on the team," Bunge said of the captains.
Bunge hopes to improve the infield's ability to work together during the offseason, specifically the shortstop position and second base. Bunge said the only way to improve this was through repetition, time and game experience.
"Defensively, we need to improve our communication. With so many new faces, we want them to feel comfortable on the field." Bunge said.
Kansas will begin its spring season
Feb. 8 against UC Santa Barbara.
"We are going to be successful if we play together as a team. We have to have different people every day stepping up," Bunge said. "There is a lot of capability in this lineup."
Softball Notes:
Kansas signed four players to National Letters of Intent; pitcher Allie Clark of Hesperia, Calif., middle infielder Kolby Fresmire of Round Rock, Texas, catcher Brittany Hile of Olathe and utility player Liz Kocon of Katy, Texas.

batters to. 156 batting average, senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys just wants to enjoy her last year playing* Kansas softball.
"Following a really fun year and a great team, I see it as an opportunity to do just as well and an opportunity to help my team as much as I can," Humphreys said. "My goal is to relax and play the game and have fun." Kansas coach Tracy Bunge looks to Humphreys for leadership as the Jayhawks enter the spring season.
The expectations were high for the men's team this season as they returned the top five runners from last year's squad led by two-time defending Big 12 champion, senior Benson Chesang.
The women entered the season with a lot of young talent, but also with some returning experience.
Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said after the men's and women's teams won the event that it was a great way to start the season.
The team kicked off its season in Lawrence for the Bob Timmons Invitational.
Though Chesang had a disappointing season which was plagued by injury, the rest of the team stepped up.
Juniors Paul Hefferon and Colby Wissel finished first and second at the meet and were frequent top finishers for the Jayhawks squad throughout the year.
Juniors Alicia McGregor and Lisa Morrissey cut 90 seconds from their previous performances at the Wildcat invitational.
The team then took to Manhattan competing in the Wildcat. Six of the women competing for the Jayhawks shaved substantial time off previous performances.
The men were lead by Wissel, who was followed by junior Patrick McGowan, who cut nearly a full minute off his time from last year's invite.
After the meet, Wissel was named Big 12 runner of the week.

LaChelia Jacobs, freshman guard, goes for a layup off of a fast break down the court. Jacobs scored 14 points, including four down the stretch, in the Jayhawks 75-63 victory against Western Illinois at Allen Fieldhouse last night.
Freshman sparks KU offense
BY ASHER FUSCO
Four games into the 2006 season, the Kansas women's basketball team had not yet found a sparkplug on the offensive end.
After freshman LaChelda Jacobs' performance Wednesday night, coach Bonnie Henrickson may have unearthed a bona fide offensive weapon.
Helped by Jacobs' 14-point performance, Kansas defeated Western Illinois 75-63.
Jacobs asserted herself early and often on offense, finding seams in the defense and driving through the lane at every opportunity.
"I love her aggressiveness," Henrickson said. "She did a great job of getting to the hoop."
Entering Wednesday's action,
Jacobs had tallied nearly as many
fouls as points and struggled to find
consistency, committing as many turnovers as she had assists.
Because of her early-season foul trouble, Jacobs was only able to stay in the game for short stretches of time. Only playing 11 minutes per contest, it was difficult for Jacobs to get in any sort of rhythm. On Wednesday evening, Jacobs did not commit her first and only foul until the game was all but decided.
"Coach has tried to stress discipline on defense," Jacobs said. "I focused on moving my feet and avoiding fouls."
Against Western Illinois, Jacobs never turned the ball over. She made tive of her nine field goals and displayed constant hustle on defense in her nineteen minutes of court time.
"I just tried to play my game tonight," said Jacobs. "I wanted to get to the rim and draw fouls."
The freshman converted on only four of 11 opportunities from the charity stripe.
"LaHelda was good drawing fouls tonight," Henrickson said. "But she needs to be making her free throws."
If jacobs' performance had one flaw, it was her free-throw shooting.
Jacobs also expressed concern about her free throw shooting, but was confident she would find her stroke before Sunday's game at Wisconsin.
During a two-minute stretch in the second half, Jacobs created some separation between the Jayhawks and the Westerwinds. She scored four straight points to stretch the Kansas lead to 12 points.
Kansan sportswriter Asher Fusco can be contacted at afusco@kansan.com.
The jayhawks never looked back.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Jayhawks clinch fourth victory
Taylor McIntosh, junior guard, reaches for a rebound during last night's game against Western Illinois. The Jayhawks grabbed 32 rebounds, compared to the Leathernecks' 25.
BY CASE KEEFER
Freshman guard LaChelda Jacobs had a breakout performance with 14 points, shooting 56 percent from the floor. Jacobs, however, was only 4-for-11 from the free-throw line.
"It's back to the drawing board for me," Jacobs said, "I've got to make some free throws."
In the first four games of the season, it was easy to pinpoint an individual standout performance. That was not the case in Wednesday night's 75-63 victory against the Western Illinois Westerwinds.
"I was just trying to get in there and help out as much as possible," she said.
Three Jayhawks scored in double figures and six players recorded at least three rebounds en route to the third straight victory, putting the overall record at 4-1.
Jared Gab/KANSAN
"We need to have that balance," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We don't have a girl that is going to put up 30 points; we don't need that."
For the second straight game, junior forward Jamie Boyd recorded a career best in points. Seeing increased minutes in part because of foul troubles in the starting frontcourt, she had 10 points and also finished with a team-high five rebounds.
The game was full of fouls. In total, each team finished with 25 fouls. Western Illinois out-shot Kansas from the free-throw line, 67 percent to 57 percent.
"It was a foul-fest for both of us and a free-throw shooting competition." Henrickson said.
Despite shooting 63 percent, the Jayhawks were down most of the first half. Sloppy defense and excessive fouls contributed to a Western Illinois lead that was as high as six points in the first half. Kansas committed 12 fouls in the first 20 minutes of play.
Westerwind guard Sarah Miller created the most problems for the Jayhawks in the first half. She had 13 points, seven of which were
from the free-throw line. Overall, the Westerwinds made 10 of 13 free-throw attempts in the first half.
That was before McCray hit two three-pointers in thirty seconds, making the score 59-48.
The Westerwinds kept it close at the beginning of the second half. Ten minutes in, they hadn't trailed by more than five points.
Freshman forward Danielle McCray also had six points in the final four minutes of the half, propelling Kansas to the lead.
Sophomore guard Ivana Catic hit a wide open jumper at the buzzer that put the Jayhawks up 36-34 at half.
said. "So that's what I've been working on"
Western Illinois never recovered, despite another strong half by Miller. She finished with a game-high 20 points and had five rebounds.
Kansan sportswriter Case Keefer can be contacted at ckeefer@kansan.com.
"She'll play a vital role when she decides she can physically excel from a conditioning standpoint," Henrickson said.
McCray finished with a teamhigh and career-best 15 points in the game in only 15 minutes from the floor.

I became a vegetarian at the beginning of my freshman year of college. I've stuck to the diet for more than four years, opting for tofu instead of beef and broccoli instead of fish.
My vegetarian lifestyle came about after I researched the factory farming industry and decided that I didn't want to contribute to the cause. But, Kansas is not the easiest place to be vegetarian. People gawk at me for bringing my own veggie burgers to tailgates. I've been asked if all I can eat is salad. Sometimes people won't split a pizza with me if they can't get meat on it.
Although killing animals isn't my cup of tea, Caleb Regan's feature about hunting explains how the experience is a tradition in his family and to many other American families.
I may miss out on the bonding experience of hunting,but my sister and I have a nice family tradition of watching X-Men cartoons together. It works better with my vegetarian lifestyle.

MY BOYFRIEND AND I BROKE UP A WHILE AGO, AND WE ARE FRIENDS AGAIN. I'M NO LONGER EMOTIONALLY ATTRACTED TO HIM, BUT I'M STILL SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO HIM. I'VE BEEN PLAYING AROUND WITH THE IDEA OF BEING "SEX BUDDIES." I HAVE NEEDS AND CAN HANDLE HAVING SEX WITH NO EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT OR COMMITMENT, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN GET HIM TO AGREE. HOW CAN I BRING UP THE SUBJECT WITHOUT FREAKING HIM OUT AND MAKING THINGS WEIRD?
Chris: He's not going to be freaked out by the idea of being sex buddies. It's probably safe to assume he'll be cool with that. The other jerks you're sleeping with will probably freak him out and "make things weird" though. Without more information about this ex of yours, I can't figure out if he'll like this or not. It isn't surprising you didn't include more information about the other half of the relationship; you somehow managed to use the word "I" eight times in five sentences. Can you say "self-involved"? You certainly do have needs. Number one should be a visit to a therapist to do something about your
nasty case of narcissism.In the meantime, save your ex and your reputation some unnecessary damage and learn how to satisfy your "needs" on your own.
Niloofar: You may think this would just be casual fun, but history has shown this usually isn't the case. Ask yourself what the pros and cons are. I'll help. Pros: sex. Cons: you make it that much harder to move on and meet a new guy; you will probably have to deal with sticky jealousy issues; you allow him the honor of having sex with you but without having to do any of the things a committed boyfriend would
ANN, JUNIOR
have to do; and you have to go through a second break-up when one of you finds a new sex partner. Do you really want to taint the memory? I understand that you have needs, but that's what your hand and Priscilla's are for. If you simply must have sex with your ex, then plant one on him the next time you're alone together and let it turn into more. Afterwards, when he says "we shouldn't do this," or "this doesn't mean anything," you say"I know, you know, I'm OK with just doing a casual hook-up thing," and see what happens. Unfortunately, I don't think what happens can ever end up being good.
I'VE HAD A CRUSH ON THIS GIRL FOR A WHILE, BUT I'VE NEVER HAD THE NERVE TO ASK HER OUT. NOW SHE THINKS OF ME AS A FRIEND, WHICH I LIKE, BUT I FEAR I'VE GOTTEN THE DREADED "FRIEND" STATUS THAT WILL RUIN ANY CHANCE OF US EVER BEING ROMANTIC. NOW SHE'S TELLING ME ABOUT GUYS SHE LIKES, LIKE I'M ONE OF HER BUDDIES. IS IT TOO LATE FOR ANYTHING "MORE-THAN-A-FRIEND" DEVELOPING, OR DID I BLOW MY CHANCE?
Chris: Mike, you blew your chance. In case you haven't noticed, girls only date their friends in movies or crappy TV shows named Friends. Once you've earned the label, you're officially a eunuch in their eyes
— completely asexual. That's why she feels comfortable talking to you about the guys she wants to get with. You're no threat, and you have no chance. She's probably one of those girls who, when asks what she looks for in a guy, says, "A good personality, makes me laugh, caring and compassionate, loves animals, blah blah blah," when what she really means is, "He's gotta be hot." So, take consolation. You were never attractive enough to gain her affections, so you never really had a chance.
Technically,you didn't fail.So lift up that chin,brush off those shoulders and pretend like this sick little faux relationship, or "friendship,"never even happened. Good luck with the next girl you won't ask out.
Niloofar:Ah, a classic case of When Harry Met Sally syndrome. In most guy-girl friendships, at least one, if not both, parties have feelings for the other.In your case, which is it? For your sake, we'll hope this isn't onesided. Here are some things to consider to help you gauge her interest level: Is she ever flirtatious or does she keep it totally buddy-buddy? Have you ever talked about other girls, and if so, how has she reacted? Any hints (even subtle ones) that she might be jealous? How
long have you known each other? If it has only been a few months and you've become fast friends, it's quite possible that she feels something too, but wonders why you haven't made a move.This other guy better be the incentive you needed to get over your fears and say something.If the thought of losing her to this other guy isn't enough to make you say something, then you don't deserve her anyway.Don't worry, there doesn't need to be any bold declaration of love.Just test the waters with jokes about you guys getting together and observe her responses, including body language and verbal comments.This should be enough to tell you whether you're a potential boyfriend or a forever friend.

DATE OUTSIDE THE BOX

Spice up your bland relationship.
Wasting $50 on dull dinners and crapy romantic comedies may seem like a fine night out with your mate — but let's face it, it's probably not sky-rocketing your relationship to romance. Experimenting and immersing yourselves in new activities improves the relationship quality and contributes to the partners' self-fulfillment and positive mood," says Omri Gillath, assistant professor of social psychology.
I don't want to grow up
Remember how exciting life seemed when you were a kid? There's a reason: you rode around in wagons or raced to the playground and whoever was last was a rotten egg. Well, the rotten egg probably didn't have as much fun. Regardless, acting like a kid again and playing games with your mate can put a skip in your step. Lisa Burnette, Chandler, Ariz., senior, and her boyfriend dig old board games and even games online."The PC ones that are online are good because we can play while far apart," Burnette says. Head down to Fun & Games, 830 Massachusetts St., to pick up some board games or check out Half-Price Books, 1519 W.23rd St., for even older, used games or a variety of PC games.
If you don't like to play, Johanna Bushmann and her boyfriend rent old movies they remember from their childhood. The Denver senior most recently watched Pete's Dragon and Pipi Longstocking with her beau, she says. "They are so weird to watch now — way more twisted and strange than you remember."
Pictures of you
Rather than hitting the town, Chelle Alvarado, Kansas City, Kan. junior, and her man stay in. The couple is in a long-distance relationship so the time they spend together is extra-precious because they only get to see each other about every other weekend, she says. When they do see each other, though, their nights consist of a lot of talking, laughing and photo ops."We just crack jokes, take pictures and have a good time," Alvarado says.
If you have a digital camera, photo-taking can be a silly time. But if you want hilarious prints as keepsakes, you can buy an instant camera at www.polaroid.com along with film and other accessories as needed.
Hey,good lookin'
Spice up the routine dinner date. Think of your favorite food from your favorite restaurant and try to make it at home. Buschmann tries this quite a bit."I do the meals, and he does the drinks," she says. Her boyfriend gets creative by making all types of drinks like Bloody Mary's and Mudslides, she says. If you don't have the recipe you need, ask someone who works at the restaurant or just experiment. Abby Pierron, Olathe graduate student, makes Rachael Ray's masterpiece meals with her boyfriend. "It's impossible to make them in 30 minutes, even with two people, regardless of what she says on TV," Pierron says. Check-"out www.foodnetwork.com for Rachel Ray recipes or other interesting meals to craft.
Eat, drink and be merry
Instead of dinner and drinks, Matthew Allison, Glen Carbon, Ill., graduate student, and his boyfriend often just do drinks. They like checking out local wineries, he says. But in the summer, with warm weather and sunshine, they skip the winery but take it a step further. "We like to take some wine and cheese and stuff as a picnic to the park for the city band concerts," Allison says. The couple enjoys visits to apple orchards and late-night walks around town as well. These types of activities are perfect for the couple.
"They get you outside and moving together," Allison says. "It's cute."
Lawrence's nearest winery is Davenport Orchards in Eudora at 1394 E.1900 Road.For directions and a list of more wineries go to http://skyways.lib.ks.us/wineries.
This weekend, spice up your love life — or at least your dating life. You might find out that your lover is a champion at Boggle or even the next iron chef.

LITTLE-KNOWN FOOD FACT RELAX YOUR NERVES
The end of the semester is fast approaching. If finals get you amped up, try some tea to help calm your nerves. Most herbal teas don't have caffeine and are mixed to help calm you down, depending on their ingredients, says Fanny Shiau, store manager at House of Chá, 21 W. Ninth St. Balance your mind, body and soul with a cup of chamomile or lavender. Shiau recommends House of Chá's Serene Lavender or Chá for Harmony blends. You can also pick up traditional medicinal teas for just about any alliment from PMS to a stuffy nose at grocery, drug or heath food stores.

DID YOU KNOW.. ORAL EXAMS
Giving oral pleasure just isn't as nice as receiving. But natural sugars found in juices and fruits like mangoes, papayas, pineapples and strawberries can help improve your girl or guy juices, says Chantal Young, instructor of Psychology of Human Sexuality. Other tangy flavors — including cinnamon, lemon and peppermint — can help the squirt taste better. Use your head the next time you're gonna get some and sweeten yourself up a little before your partner heads south.

Hershey's bars and dining hall cookies often replace homemade treats during busy winter months.

These treats require few special ingredients, are easy to make and can feel like home.

MELTING CHOCOLATE LIKE A PRO
There are several methods for melting chocolate. Whatever method you use, avoid heating the chocolate too much or too quickly, or it will burn and turn grainy.
Oven — Preheat oven on the lowest setting (usually 200 degrees Fahrenheit). Put chocolate into small dishes and place in the oven. Stir chocolate after 10 minutes. Return to oven, checking frequently until chocolate is smooth.
Microwave — Chocolate can be ruined by one extra second in the microwave. Microwave for one minute on the low or defrost setting. If the chocolate is not fully melted, microwave in 10 second intervals and stir.
Double boiler — a double boiler by putting a stainless steel bowl over a pot of simmering water. Put the chocolate in the bowl over medium heat. Be careful not to get water into the chocolate, because this will ruin the chocolate.

The image shows three individuals in a grassy field, each holding a rifle. The person in the foreground is wearing a military-style uniform and carrying a large rifle over their shoulder. Behind them, two other individuals are partially visible, one of whom appears to be observing the scene. The background consists of a flat horizon with no distinct features.
The snow started yesterday at about 4:30 p.m.Now,more than 24 hours later,the precipitation hasn't quit.The challenge against nature is part of the allure;we struggle against panic when the outlook is bleak.We haven't eaten anything except one can of Campbell's Thick and Chunky
each per day for the last three days. There are six inches of snow on the ground, and a day's worth of sleet on top of that. We're about five miles north and roughly 4,000 feet up from our base camp; it took four hours on horseback to get here and we'll be battling snow and sleet on the way back down.

Our priorities shifted from hunting to keeping our clothes dry and our horses alive. Even though the weather spoiled our last day of hunting, this is still as alive and
capable as I've felt for some time, battling the elements with the only things I've got: weapons, wit, a couple of halfway-lazy and tired horses, good sleeping baas, and will.
My brother Josh and I were up in the high country west of Gunnison, Colo. At about 11,000 feet up, we ran into harsh elements as we tried to bow hunt for elk in the West Elk Wilderness. Even though we ran into some bad luck, it was a bonding experience that out well by our standards — we
survived.
Many think hunting is about killing things, but it's more than that; hunting is an American tradition that allows families to bond, helps the environment and provides hunters with a test of skill and wits versus nature.
Right of passage
In my family, hunting is a right of passage from boyhood to adulthood. I used to shadow my uncle and my father with a BB gun
until I was 8, old enough to take a hunter's safety course and get a hunting license. I remember my following my dad, Uncle Fred and brothers, struggling to lift my knees high enough to walk through the deep snow without tripping. I followed along, dreaming of the day I could carry a shotgun of my own and hunt alongside the men.
A
When that day finally arrived, I felt like a part of the family's circle. The night before my first hunt, I couldn't sleep. I laid out my clothes and kept looking at my shotgun, thinking I was finally part of something that my grandfather had once taken part in and passed along to his posterity.

Hunters travel to South Dakota for the opening weekend of pheasant season this fall. The group cleaned the birds they shot after long days walking through the tall grasses.
"My younger brother could never hunt until my dad thought he was old enough," Albers says. "We'd go to the gun range and go through gun safety with Dad, but he still couldn't hunt until he was old enough to go through hunter's education courses."
Family bond
Ben Shear, 2005 graduate, has been hunting for six years. He started when his girlfriend's father, now his father-in-law, invited him along on a quail and pheasant hunt.
They had had a good day, bagging a couple of quail and a few pheasant, but they were late to meet Shear's girlfriend and her mother. Shear held the birds while his now father-in-law cut the birds hastily, and accidentally cut off the end of one of Shear's fingers. "After that, I knew I'd never have a problem marrying his daughter," Shear says.
Some parts of hunting are a lot like camping. You're out in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, which leads to

developing a natural bond with whomever you are with.
That is the part of hunting that my father wanted to pass along to his children. I never saw Dad ki anything in his life except snake which my mother abhorred. He loved nature and wanted us to be out there as a family. Most of the time, Dad walked along with acting as the bird dog when we didn't have one. After successful hunts, he assisted in cleaning the game. Dad wasn't opposed to hunting. he just didn't get into the killing part.

are no cars or people or civilization — it's an escape. But you are also trying to procure food in much of the same way our ancestors fed themselves.

We no longer need to hunt to live; we can go to the grocery store and buy a package of hamburger. But grocery shopping creates a disconnect between our food and the animal it came from. Hunting reconnects us with our food because humans are involved in the whole process, from killing game to harvesting the meat. That connection fosters respect for the animal.
In the high-country we were stripped to the bare essentials. We
ate canned soup cold, drinking it straight from the can because we didn't want any trash that we could avoid. Every morning we went to the river about a quarter mile north of us, watered our horses and got stream water that we converted to drinking water with the use of something we'd come to really cherish, iodine tablets (which kill the bacteria in stream water) we'd purchased on the way.
Everything we did after it snowed was about survival. We had to stay dry as we only had one change of clothes apiece. We had to keep our horses in a good condition — they were our only way out.
Wednesday, Sept. 20, 7 p.m.
At about 6 a.m, we heard a bugle — a male elk's call. It was loud, high-pitched and smooth and rang heavy in the air above us, straight up the mountain. Josh and I exited our tents; our eyes, about the size of half-dollars, met.
Test of skill
Bow hunting affords you a degree of intimacy not readily available with other forms of hunting. Fifty yards is a long shot for a bow and arrow, so you must get up close and personal with any elk before taking a shot.
We gathered our stuff, and while I was waiting for Josh to find his facemask there it was: crackling
branches in the meadow just to the south. I turned and saw a bull coming right down to the game trail we were on. After I got Josh's attention, we hit the deck and looked on in awe. He was a four-by-four — four antlers on each side of the rack — eight points in all. He went right to the trail on the opposite side of the meadow from us, 60 or 70 yards straight across.
When the beast got to the trail, he started beating his wide rack into the ground. Mud flew all around him, he was trying to loosen the ground in order to bed down. When he laid down, we sat and watched his frame heave, each exhale sending a cloud of foggy breath out of his nose. My heart pounded as I lay on the ground
as still and flat as possible, trying to think of a way to get above him and 10 yards closer. It was an awesome display of nature, a beast capable of killing me if he knew what I was doina.
One of our horses snorted. The bull rose off the ground, looked at our campsite and took off up the other side of the game trail doubling the distance between us in about three seconds. Josh and I jumped up and took off on foot in pursuit.
We were in the elk's environment. He knew more than we did about his surroundings and his instincts were keener. When it started snowing and sleeting, he was no more threatened than any other day of the year. Trying to use
your wits to overcome an animal's superiority in his natural habitat is part of the thrill of the hunt.
Environmental benefits
Population control and sustainability benefit the environment, and sportsmen themselves fund both.The U.S.Fish and Game, a federal conservation organization, is funded by sportsmen of all types.
Theodore Roosevelt, an avid big game hunter and a president responsible for outdoor conservation in America, pioneered this organization. The beginning of conservation was brought about by hunters, and

the upkeep is funded by them.
The U.S. Fish and Game receives its funding by taxes on hunting and fishing licenses as well as taxes on all sportsmen goods sold, ranging from gloves to shotguns. Then each state's department (Kansas's is the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks) uses funding from the federal organization to fix
the problems with wildlife in their state.
Since 1997, the whitetail deer population in Kansas has been stabilized by increasing the number of deer tags sold and extending the antlerless deer season into January, says Lloyd Fox, big game program coordinator with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Before 1997, the deer
population was growing each year, and deer-related car accidents were also increasing, he says.
"Since we've increased the number of deer taken each year, the population has leveled off, and car accidents are occurring at a lesser rate each year. That was the goal from the start and we've been successful," Fox says.
Hunters have to tag their game, making them accountable for what they kill. Now hunters in the area surrounding Lawrence may purchase up to six tags: one that allows the taking of an antlered deer and five that allow for the taking of an antlerless deer.
Michael Pearce, outdoor writer and photographer for the Wichita Eagle, guided hunts for 10 years and has been a full time outdoor writer since 1981. He says when he grew up, there were hardly any deer or turkey in Kansas. He even got sent to the principal's office in grade school for telling a teacher he had seen a deer. They were that scarce.
killers., It's the, whole outdoor experience, and we pay a great deal of money and pass on the concepts to our kids."
In the 1930s, the wild turkey population in the U.S. was around 20,000 to 30,000. Today, that population, at a conservative figure, is around 5 million. "That was funded by sportsmen," Pearce says. "Sportsmen aren't the real
Pearce also says that success
stories are plentiful with game. Turkey, ducks and deer are the most openly acknowledged successes that sportsman have helped fund."If it weren't for duck hunters," Pearce says, "we'd have no ducks."

for the emergence of big populations. But we also fund the control of each population for the best overall balance in the environment, he says.
The National Rifle Association champions the cause of hunters because it's an issue concerning their members. There were
Hunter retention

Hunter retention is an issue at the forefront of our current work and the national recruitment rate is .69, she says. "In other words, for every 100 hunters who leave the sport for whatever reason, only 69 replace them," Fog said.
To combat this drop, the
NRA has been working to get the Mentored Hunting Program started, which would allow children who want to try hunting to experience hunting in a safe environment.
"We want to keep hunting alive in this country. We have such a strong tradition, and we want to make sure grandfathers and grandmothers can still pass
on, that, tradition, to, their kids and their kids' kids, "Fog says."
Land access and a general lack of understanding about the positive aspects of hunting have caused a drop in the number of young people currently taking up the hobby. With the scarcity of land available for purchase, people have a harder time retaining family land for hunting purposes. And with the reliance on indoor entertainment, most children aren't interested anyway unless it is a family tradition.
Bonding with friends and family, being in a foreign habitat, giving the animal an equal chance, tradition and a passing on of that tradition and a genuine love for the outdoors are all reasons to pursue whatever game we pursue.
Josh and I didn't bag any great monster to bring back home and put on Mom's dinner table and on the wall. But we got close, heard him bugle (one of the most beautiful sounds in nature) and watched him put on a display of his own strength and smarts. And we survived the elements when things started to get scary, standing outside of our tent as the snow came down. All we could do was watch, take pulls off a bottle of Kentucky Gentleman and chase it with snow to save our water. This is why we hunt.

THE SWEET SOUND OF SUCCESS
by Carissa Pedigo
a look at Lawrence band Volunteers
Volunteers, a local four-piece band, debuted their new album Halloween dressed for the occasion. The bassist, Rustine Knard, Olathe senior, took the stage at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., adorned in an oversized, inflatable body suit. Their album's release party was only recognizable as the only Puff marshmallow man from postbusters.
I'll just go with the most likely reading order.
The image shows three individuals seated together, engaged in what appears to be a conversation. Their expressions suggest they are in a relaxed setting, possibly during an informal meeting or gathering. The background is dark and indistinct, focusing attention on the people.
In a common reading order, one would typically list the headings (leftmost), followed by paragraphs of text that describe the content of those paragraphs. The second line would likely include additional information about the event or topic discussed. The third line would follow the same pattern.
If this were a printed page, it might be part of a booklet or magazine article. In such cases, the layout would be similar to the image, with headings and paragraphs aligned to the left.
However, without more context or specific details from the image, it's challenging to provide an exact reading order. It would depend on the author's intention and the reading style chosen.
PHOTO/MICHELLE GRITTMANN
Volunteers assembled their first album with mixed emotions. Nicole Anderson, the mother of Tyler Anderson, New York City senior and Volunteers guitarist and vocalist, paid for the production costs. She had lung cancer and wanted to see the band fulfill their dream of making an album. Volunteers spent about two months on their album, which they recorded at Chapman Recording Studios in Kansas City, Mo. Nicole died five days after the album's release.
Because the album was privately funded, the band created a sound entirely their own without a record label having any say in what kind of music they should make, Anderson, the vocalist, says.
"We got lucky. We got to make a professional album, and we didn't have a record deal," says Kissel, Montgomery, Ala., senior and Volunteer guitarist.
Volunteers describe their style of music as alternative folk rock with catchy hooks and killer harmonies. The Zombies, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, The Byrds, The
Shins, and Elliot Smith are a few of their influences. Anderson, the vocalist, writes the songs with Kissel, the guitarist.
Some of the songs strike an emotional chord for Anderson. "Heaven" is a song he wrote to cope after his grandfather died. "When I play music everything that is on my mind is out the window," he says. "It's a natural high. I've been going through some crazy shit, and it all goes away." Anderson says.
Making the band
Volunteers played their first gig in 2005 at the Farmer's Ball, a competition sponsored by KJHK Anderson' made an electronic CD and was asked to perform. Leonard, the bassist, and Kissel, the guitarist, accompanied Anderson for the show.The drummer,Austin
Sinkier, Lawrence senior, joined the band after the Farmer's Ball and became the missing link.
Volunteers made their first appearance as a complete band at the Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall,843 Massachusetts St.Playing live is one of the biggest perks of being in the band.They've made a lot of friends, been able to get into other shows for free, and there's always an abundance of booze, Kissel, the guitarist, says. Not to mention, the rush."It's like
The band was nameless until Anderson, the guitarist and vocalist, was on a road trip to South Carolina and noticed a stranger wearing a hat with the logo "Vols" printed across the front. He didn't know what it meant, but he liked the style and discovered "Vols" was an abbreviation for the brand, Volunteers.
The band credits Justin Ripley, a member of another local band, The Pomonas. Because The Pomonas already established a name for themselves in Lawrence, Ripley got them shows with his instruments, Kissel, the guitarist, says."He got us a lot of bigger shows where we should of have had an album to get."
Scoring a record deal
playing a sports game where you're always winning," Kissel says.
Volunteers have a show about once a month in Lawrence or Kansas City. But getting gigs didn't always come easy. "No matter how good you are, it just matters who hears you," Leonard, the bassist, says.
The band is assembling press kits to send out to labels, booking
Volunteers are currently talking to a DJ at KJHK to get their CD in rotation. They are also hoping to secure a spot at the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas this spring. However, if making it big isn't in the cards for Volunteers, they won't be disappointed." We would like to get to a place where we can survive," he says. "I'd be happy if we can make $15,000 a year and make music and do nothing else."
"We're at a spot where we want to see if we can go on a big tour, and get a booking agent. We're willing to put school on hold," Leonard, the bassist, says.
agents and radio stations. The press kits include articles written about the band, their CD, a biography, photos and contact information.

Rest MUSIC by Blesk
Despite their ages — no member is over 25 — Blesk manages a mature sound in their debut album, Rest. By combining the sounds of their influences — Sigur Ros, Sunny Day Real Estate and Radiohead — they produce sound album.
The album starts strongly with the synth-heavy "Triplett" and features stellar vocals by singer and guitarist Jacob Wick. Following that, "Get Your Rest," with some strong organ music and angelic vocals is the best
track on the album.
Rest stays strong with "50 Proof," a song that deals with a friend's alcohol problem, the powerful anthem"I Don't Mind" and the Mogwai-esque closer "Adam and Eve."
Bonus: It's about time someone wrote a really good song called "Sheep."

Casino Royale
MOVIE
Bond films are kind of like Marilyn Monroe. Most of us couldn't name a Marilyn Monroe movie, but we sure as hell know who she is. So, even though I'd never seen a James Bond movie, I knew what to expect from Casino Royale: a cool song in the opening title sequence, action, a foxy lady and gadgets.
How does the latest installment measure up? The opening title sequence is pretty cool, and the song is by Chris Cornell which is also cool if you pretend Audioslave doesn't exist. The action is abundant and enjoyable, and Bond cavorts with two ladies giving a double dose of foxy. His
gadgetry is covered by a defibrillator in his car.
What sets Casino Royale apart from previous Bonds (other than playing Texas Hold 'em against a Czech who cries blood) is that, this time, Bond isn't a ridiculous, infallible superhero. He is still cocky, but can't always fully back it up. He also shows emotion and concern for the welfare of others, which might make him seem like less of a hardass but ultimately makes him cooler.

TROUBLE IN TIJUANA SPEAK
A. GURUJAN
A day in a border town left me disillusioned and disappointed. by Caleb Regan
Four men sat at the end of the bar, playing dominoes and drinking Negra Modelos. One of the four put our empty Dos Equis bottles on the bar in front of us to keep track of our tab. Another leaned over to me after a short while, shaking my hand and telling me in Spanish that it was evident that my brother Josh and I shared a close friendship, una amistad unida.
This was the Mexico I had envisioned. The small cantina on a side street of Tijuana had a curtain for a door, was dimly lit and the absence of music was peaceful.The only sound was the quiet chatter of the four domino players.
A friend who lives in Puerto Escondido, a Mexican beach town had told me about the serenity and peaceful, quiet calm of the small fishing town. He had told me that none of the locals gave two pesos whether you were white, black or purple. That was the Mexico I had anticipated when Josh and I walked across the border at 3 p.m., after the 5-mile drive from San Diego.
Aside from the cantina with a curtain for a door, it was not the
Mexico I encountered.
We were greeted by throngs of children as we made our way across the bridge connecting the two countries. They juggled, performed magic tricks and simply tossed and caught trinkets. After each show, they held out their hands, saying quietly, "Dinero." The swarm of kids slowed our way into the city. We wanted to give them money, but we didn't want to open the floodgates for the other children.
It took 30 to 45 minutes to make our way across the bridge and into the city,a distance of less than half a mile.
We walked the streets and found the cantina. Josh and I stayed there for a couple of hours, returning to the streets just in time to glimpse the last bit of sunlight of that Tijuana day.
When the sun went down, the city turned. The kids disappeared. Men in their 30s whistled and shouted after us,"Mi seester, man, $15." Prostitution was pitched to us block after narrow block.
Finally, we found a spot in a bar on a balcony overlooking the city.Within two hours we had befriended a Mexican-American from Santa Fe,N.M.
The waiters seemed to like our boisterous friend, but when the truck driver got up to use the restroom, the wafter stole his Mariboro Reds, passing them out to his coworkers. It was a ruthless display.
Low on cash and having seen all we wanted to see, my brother and I ordered two last beers and asked for our check.
The waiter brought over six bottles. I told him there was a mistake. We only wanted two. "No," said the waiter in perfect English. "The caps are popped. You have to pay for all of them."
We ordered two and we would pay for two, we insisted. "If you don't pay your tab," he responded, "we will call the police."
I decided to find an ATM and pay the $12 so we could leave. All six waiters were gathered around us. One of them looked at me and said, "I'll take you to the ATM." He pointed at Josh. "He's got to stay here."
The largest of the waiters walked down the steps of the bar ahead of me. I realized we weren't going next door. He led me to a well-lit side road. I knew he wasn't planning to mug me, but my hands were sweating and
the enchiladas I had eaten earlier tied themselves in a knot in my stomach.
As we neared the Western Union, my escort pulled out a crack pipe and a baggie with who-knows-what kind of white substance in it. No, I said, I just wanted to pay my bill.
I made my way toward the Western Union, overtaking his lead. I entered and felt instantly safer, even though I noticed him coming in behind me. A girl with beautiful brown eyes and a smile that could light up any situation sat behind the counter.
I asked the woman to withdraw 200 pesos, roughly $20 and enough to pay the tab and maybe buy another Cuban cigar. The man behind me piped up, "You need 2,000 pesos." I looked at the girl, knowing something wasn't right. Without hesitating, she looked at me and said, "He's right."
I hesitated, then asked for 2,000 pesos. She handed me a large pile of bills. I stuffed them in my wallet, then led myself out of the Western Union. I took the most direct route to the main street; I saw the bright lights as protection.
When I get back to the bar, the man in charge grabbed for the bills. "I'll count it myself," I said, trying to figure out how to give him the 120 pesos we actually owed. "I don't think this is the right exchange rate."
"Amigo, I will count it for you. It is right. Now pay your bill and leave," he said without a hint of accent on the English.
He grabbed the money and took it behind the bar, returning with $8.
We left the bar, making our way into the streets. The kids who'd been missing since dusk reappeared on the bridge toward the border, again pleading for money. I had already spent enough.
After finding our car on the American side of the border, I went to an ATM. Sure enough, $200 withdrawn. The U.S. consulate for Mexico's Web site explicitly warns visitors about Mexican border towns, like Juarez, Nuevo Laredo and Tijuana. You can be ripped off or, even worse, physically hurt.
Someday I will visit the beautiful, rural Mexico I've heard about, but I will put border towns in my rear-view mirror as quickly as I can.
