Construction displaces parking
University solutions include shuttles more spots farther west on campus
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
ccondron@kansan.com
The football complex construction is causing parking changes for both students and football fans this fall. A free shuttle for students
now will run from the stadium and the Student Recreation Fitness Center to Jayhawk Boulevard because parking is being shifted west of the stadium, farther away from campus. There are three new parking lots in this area, and 1,500 parking spaces have been added to the Park & Ride lot.
"Our goal is to replace the parking spaces one for one, and we don't know if we will make that goal yet," said Warren Corman, University architect. "But as long as there is enough parking for students, I don't see a problem."
The University has allotted $2.5 million to spend on parking and utility during construction of the $30 million complex, and it has already spent $1.5 million to add 300 stalls on the southwest side of the stadium.

Lawrence residents Jennifer McVey, left, and Jessica Bellew say the city's new domestic partnership registry is important to them as a symbol of their relationship.

Domestic partners can register with city
Lawrence is first in state to approve ordinance
The city of Lawrence began recognizing same-sex domestic partnerships on Aug. 1 through an official registry, the first of its kind in the state.
Couples who meet nine requirements may register online at the city of Lawrence Web site or at city hall for a fee of $75.
The registry is not a certificate of marriage, so the Kansas attorney general's office
decided that it did not violate Kansas' same-sex marriage ban.
Queers and Allies helped to get the registry adopted through a petition on campus last spring. The registry should help make it easier for domestic partners to receive health insurance benefits from employers.

Date with porn star prompts resignation
MONESSEN, Pa. — A high school art teacher who went on a date with a porn star after winning a satellite radio contest has resigned.
Jaison Biagini traveled to St. Petersburg, Fla., last month after winning the date on the Sirius satellite radio show "Bubba the Love Sponge."
The school board voted Tuesday to accept his resignation.
Biagini, who taught art for 14 years at Monessen High School, said he entered the contest because he wanted to win the free trip and visit the Salvador Dali museum in St. Petersburg. He described the date as being "all fake and staged."
Biagini, who uses a wheelchair, was interviewed on the radio show after returning home, and told the Valley Independent in Monessen that he was ridiculed for his disability.
Judge jails former mayor until boat is demolished
TOMS RIVER, N.J. — The former mayor of Stafford was ordered jailed until he finds a contractor to demolish the last of four decrepit boats from a residential lagoon.
Wesley Bell remained in the Ocean County jail Saturday, according to a jail official.
The day before, Judge John A. Peterson told the former mayor that he would stay in jail until he produced a signed agreement with a contractor to raise and demolish the MaBell, a 60-foot, wooden-hulled former lobster boat.

Construction on the football complex is causing major parking changes for some students and football fans. The University will spend about $2.5 million on parking and utility during the construction, which will not be complete until 2008
CONSTRUCTION (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"People right now are going to be stressed out, and I'm sure as students start coming back to school we will be receiving more calls," said Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit. "We will get a much better picture of it all as time goes by."
Hultine said there were still spaces available in the Mississippi Street garage and in Park and Ride.
As more students begin parking on the west side of the stadium, it is causing problems for the houses and buildings along West Campus Road.
"Normally the sorority girls use the parking lots that are high on the hill, but when those closed we had
to walk even farther home," said Allison Owens, Leawood junior and Gamma Phi Beta member. "We don't take up too many spots, so I think it will be OK for this year. However, if it is crowded, then we will have nowhere else to park."
Another change will be during football games, which begin Sept. 1. Hultine said the University has dedicated more parking lots to game day parking, even as far away as the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage, where they will provide a shuttle to bring fans to games.
Corman said things had to move to make improvements.
"When all of this is through, it's going to be a lot nicer than before,
and the practice much prettier than what was there," Corman said.
Although construction will not be completed until July 2008, it won't take place during games, and fences will block the dust, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
"The con-

and be motivation for fans to see the progress and emphasis being made on the football team," Marchiony said.
Ticket holders who have been moved during football games are mainly the Williams Fund Donors who tailgated in the large parking lot
on the east side of the stadium. The new tailgating
lots being built will be 60 feet wide with only two rows of cars.
"When they are finished, there will be smaller lots with shade and grass, which will be nicer for tailgating than being out in the middle of a huge asphalt jungle," Corman said.
Hultine said the construction will make for an interesting year.
"It will be challenging, but hopefully people will get used to where they can park, and we are trying to educate people about the available spaces," Hultine said.

IMMIGRATION
Tribes promise safety to illegals
BY OSKAR GARCIA
Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — A nonfederally recognized American Indian tribe on Friday defended its recruiting of Hispanic illegal immigrants to the tribe under the promise that joining would prevent deportation.
But advocates and federal officials condemned the practice as a scam, saying the group was defrauding people of money desperate to stay in the country.
The complaints have reached federal officials through community groups in several states.
In Nebraska, the Mexican-American Commission posted a warning on its Web site and alerted churches and Spanish-speaking media after illegal immigrants in four Nebraska cities were approached with offers of membership to the tribe as a way to gain legal status in the United States, commission spokesman Angel Freytez said.
Freytez said advocates have heard similar stories from people in Kansas, California, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
"Anyone who is in the country illegally is not protected from the consequences of being in a country illegally by any document from this tribe," said Tim Counts, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "It won't work."
It was still unclear Friday which federal agency would investigate — either as an immigration issue, a consumer fraud issue or an Indian affairs issue.
IMMIGRATION
Families use military to achieve citizenship
BY JULIANA BARBASSA Associated Press
Yaderlin Jimenez was an illegal immigrant facing deportation. Her husband, a U.S. citizen and soldier, couldn't help her because he was missing after an insurgent attack in Iraq.
The military had not been able to find Army Spc. Alex Jimenez, of Lawrence, Mass., after he was apparently snatched in May during a raid on his unit south of Baghdad. His capture drew national attention to his wife's deportation case, prompting Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to ask immigration officials to halt the proceedings.
Jimenez's wife then became a legal resident, but the couple's plight put a public face on the private anguish of
a growing number of military families in similar straits.
About 35,000 legal immigrants without citizenship are now serving in the military. That means when immigrant soldiers ship off to Iraq, they may carry with them a worry their American-born counterparts may not: that their family members might be deported while they are away.
"Every base has immigration problems," said Margaret Stock, an Army reservist and immigration attorney. "The government they're fighting for is the same government that's trying to deport their families."
Supporters of tighter immigration controls say giving the relatives of service members a free pass would only create an incentive for immigrants to enlist to legalize undocumented family members.
The Pentagon has long recognized that military life can be a strain on service members' families and that ensuring their well-being is a crucial part of maintaining troop morale. But troops' families do not enjoy any special treatment when it comes to immigration infractions, Stock said.
"We give relief to soldiers from everything else — from oppressive loans, from a landlord that's trying to evict them while they're deployed." Stock said. "Someone at the top needs to decide which is most important — to keep soldiers families together, because we know it's important for morale, or break them up in the interest of enforcing immigration law."
Haydee Rodriguez holds her two-year old son Angel on Aug. 3 at her home in Oakland, Calif. Her husband was abducted while serving for the military in Iraq, prompting officials to halt her deportation case. The family's story put them in the spotlight of immigration policy involving military families.

Registry makes it official
Lawrence first in state to recognize domestic partnerships
BY SASHA ROE
sroe@kansan.com
Lawrence domestic same-sex couples can now register their relationships with the city. On Aug. 1 Lawrence became the first city in Kansas to approve a domestic partnership registry.
Maggie Childs, Queens and Allies
safety adviser,
worked for a
year-and-a-half
to see the registry
become a law.
"As chair of the Kansas Equality Coalition, I did a lot of lobbying with commissioners," Childs said. "Last March, I worked hard to oppose the proposed bill to ban domestic partnerships statewide. So on Aug. 1, I was delighted."
Lawrence resident Jessica Bellew said the legal recognition is important to her and her partner, Jennifer McVev.
The Kansas attorney general's office has confirmed that the registry did not violate the Kansas constitutional amendment that banned same-sex marriage. The registry is not a certificate of marriage, and it holds no legal benefits for registered couples. The symbolism and easier access to insurance benefits make the registry significant.
"It may seem silly to some, but to us it is important to have something concrete, something to point to. We can't legally marry, but it makes it feel like someone recognizes we are a couple."
"It may seem silly to some, but to
us it is important to have something concrete, something to point to," Bellew said. "We can't legally marry, but it makes it feel like someone recognizes we are a couple."
Bellew and McVey weren't concerned about health insurance benefits. Bellew is a part-time employee at Lawrence Public Library, but McVey's Overland Park employer
JESSICA BELLEW Lawrence resident
already provided health insurance for domestic partners.
The registry does not require insurance companies to extend benefits to domestic partners. However, some Lawrence businesses have domestic partner insurance benefits, and some will extend
coverage with the documentation to a registry.
"More than half of Fortune 500 companies include benefits for domestic partners already," Childs said. "The documentation will allow easier access."
Lori Messinger, member of the Kansas Equality Coalition, said some businesses wouldn't allow insurance benefits for domestic partners, but the registry made it easier for other businesses willing to extend benefits.
"If you don't have the registry,
companies require a lot of documentation," Messinger said. "The registry is official."
Frank Reeb, Lawrence city clerk and director of administrative services, said the city preferred to have the registry completed online because of convenience. The registry is available on the city of Lawrence Web site and can be paid for with Visa, Mastercard, or PayPal. To fill out a registry in City Hall, payment needs to be cash or check. The fee is $75.
Couples who wish to register must meet nine requirements to complete the registry. A few of the terms include that a couple must be Lawrence residents, be at least 18 years old, live in a permanent residence and display an interdependent relationship.
"This is a small step, but a great step," said Jonathan Pryor, Columbus senior. "The big thing is the symbolism."
Pryor, a member of KU Queers and Allies, participated in a campus petition last spring to support the registry.
The city commission approved the domestic partnership registry in May. The registry was adopted on its second and final reading on June 19, and it became a city ordinance on Aug. 1.
"It creates a category." Childs said. "It recognizes something that already existed."
Childs agreed that Lawrence set an example for the state.

Wal-Mart battle concludes Lawrence City Commission supports plan with 4-1 vote
BY SASHA ROE
sroe@kansan.com
The five-year battle for a second Lawrence Wal-Mart is finally over. Despite a large group of Wal-Mart-bashing protestors, the Lawrence City Commission approved the plan with a 4-1 vote on August 7.
Fourteen citizens took an hour of public comment to express their concerns about the new development at Sixth & Wakarusa Drive. The majority of the night's concerns were about increased traffic, loss of local business and the overall benefit to Lawrence residents.
"Does Wal-Mart promote the health, safety, and moral values of Lawrence?" said Gwen Klingenberg, Lawrence resident.
Kirk McClure, urban planning professor at the University, called the plan a "formula for disaster" McClure mentioned the that tremendous amount of new growth couldn't be absorbed by the city.
"Retail spending should be more than population growth, but in Lawrence it is lagging behind," McClure said. "Another Wal-Mart just means a weak economy."
Angie Stoner, Kansas Wal-Mart public relations manager, said
the new development could benefit Lawrence. She acknowledged Wal-Mart supports the community and schools. Last year, Wal-Mart Supercenter stores gave $30,000-50,000 to local charities. In Kansas there are about 19,000 people employed by Wal-Mart. Stoner said 250 new jobs could be created with the new and Wakarusa store.
"We're proud of our economic impact," Stoner said. "Wal-Mart is committed to being a good neighbor."
Bill Newsome, one of the owners of the Sixth and Wakarusa property, explained every concern had been analyzed by the staff and planning commission. The plan met every standard laid out by the city. Newsome also met the public and commissioners' concern about traffic on Sixth Street.
"The Kansas Department of Transportation has stated that 6th street can function well with this development," Newsome said.
Commissioner Mike Amyx said the plan should proceed, as long as concern about traffic was addressed. Amyx tried to add an amendment to include language that made developers help finance traffic-calming devices. The amendment failed 3-2.
Traffic was a deciding factor for Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highberger, also. Highberger was the only commissioner to oppose the approval of the plan.
"This Wal-Mart can generate three to five times more traffic, and excessive parking." Highberger said. "We have the power and authority to refuse this request. I can no longer support this plan."
The new Wal-Mart will be about 100,000 square feet with a 6,000 square foot garden center. Landscaping plans for the area surrounding the store include a detention basin, native Kansas grasses and a permanent wetland area. Once construction begins the store should be open within a year.
Protestors were not pleased with the outcome. The city hall lobby was filled with people holding signs of "Let Us Vote," and "Wal-Mart kills local business." Erica Hunter, Lawrence resident, held a sign that resembled the yellow Wal-Mart smiley face except with a frown.
"We don't need to have two Wal-Marts in this town," Hunter said. "The best protesting I can do now is not buy from Wal-Mart."

Shiites embark on ancient pilgrimage
Scores endure heat, insurgent attacks on march to shrine
BY LAUREN FRAYER
Associated Press
BAGHDAD — Hundreds of thousands of Shiites marched to a gold-domed mosque in harsh heat and sun Thursday in a pilgrimage of devotion to an 8th century saint that also starkly demonstrated their political power.
Only scattered strikes by Sunni insurgents marred the event, held amid tight security to avoid the attacks that occurred during past
gatherings.
"Long live Muqtadal" some pilgrims shouted as they paraded toward the Imam al-Kadhim shrine, referring to radical Shiite leader Muqtada al Sadr, whose Mahdi army is accused of death squad attacks. "May God kill his enemies!"
A few shook their fists at U.S. soldiers standing alongside the procession route, but the march was mostly peaceful.
Many said they intended their presence to show they could not be intimidated by Sunni insurgents who have devastated past gatherings, and who regularly target Shiites at markets and on buses.
to challenge the terrorism of the Wahhabists," said Hussein Mizaal, a 21-year-old college student from southeastern Baghdad. He was referring to the austere Wahhabi strain of Sunni Islam, practiced mostly in Saudi Arabia but also identified with Sunni insurgents.
"We are not afraid of anyone except God," Mizaa said.
The march comes as Iraq's government remains sharply divided, unable to meet key U.S.-sought benchmarks like a new oil law. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite who heads the unity government but is accused of bias by Sunnis, was in Iran to talk about security and electricity deals.

SafeBus offers late-night rides
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
SafeBus has three bus routes to places that are popular among students. Two buses will run on each of the routes between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com
SafeBus, the University's new late-night bus system, will make its first trip Friday and Saturday. The Parking Department introduced SafeBus in compliance with a referendum passed by students this past spring.
SateBus will operate Friday and Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. The free service is available to any student who shows a KUID upon entering the bus.
"The basic goal is to reduce the amount of student traffic on weekend nights," said Tom Cox, Shawnee senior and member of Student Senate's transportation board.
Cox said that in addition to providing a safe ride home, SafeBus also provided a way for students who didn't have cars to go out on weekend nights.
SafeBus features three bus routes, which were designed to go to places that are heavily populated by students, Jessica Mortinger, Hays senior and student intern for the Parking Department, said. This includes all on-campus residence halls and many of the off-campus apartment complexes that KU on Wheels services on its daytime routes. The bus also runs downtown.
Cox said that two buses will operate on each of the three routes.
This past spring, students voted to raise student fees by $4 this year to introduce the service.
Video cameras are placed inside the buses for security reasons, Mortinger said. She said that KU Parking and Transit also was looking into putting physical security on the buses.
"The intention is to get some security on the bus," Mortinger said.
Mortinger said that although SafeBus allows students to ride home safely, it does raise safety concerns. She said that policies held by SafeRide, the University's late-night car program, allowed drivers to make sure students were taken home.
"With this we can't really say where people go," Mortinger said. "I think that's one of our biggest concerns."
SafeBus will not replace Satekue, which operates between three and 10 cars every night of the week, but Mortinger said KU Parking and Transit is hoping that SafeBus will relieve some of the SafeRide congestion on the weekends.
Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, said student reaction to SafeBus was positive.
and she knew of students looking forward to using the service.
Mandy Puhak, Overland Park junior, said she thought the service would be used by students.
Edited by Trevan McGee
"It's a really good way to know that you're going to get home safely," Puhak said.
Mortinger said SafeBus would allow students to have a guaranteed
ride home.
"The option was to expand (SafeRide) or to have a fixed ride service that allows students to know they have a ride."

CRIME
Police charge man, teen with student murders
BY JEFFREY GOLD Associated Pres
NEWARK, N.J. — A 15-year-old boy and a man were in custody and facing murder charges Thursday in the execution-style killings of three college students and wounding of another in a schoolyard shooting.
The teenager was arrested Wednesday night, and the 28-year-old surrendered Thursday, authorities said.
"We believe that others were involved in this heinous crime," prosecutor Paula Dow said. "We're looking for them."
Mayor Cory A. Booker said fingerprint and ballistics evidence tied the man, Jose Carranza, to the crime. Carranza turned himself in on three counts of first degree murder, one count of attempted murder and other charges.
The teen, whose name was not released because of his age, was arrested on the same charges, authorities said.
Booker said Carranza's lawyer, Felix Lopez Montalvo, called Booker's office saying Carranza wanted to surrender directly to the mayor.
The four friends, ages 18 to 20, were attacked while talking outside an elementary school Saturday night. Authorities have said robbery appeared to be the motive.
Three of the victims — Terrance Aerial, 18, Dashon Harvey, 20; and Iofemi Hightower, 20 — were forced to kneel against a wall and were shot at close range. The fourth, 19-year-old Natasha Aerial, Terrance Aerial's sister, survived a wound to her head and is hospitalized.
Despite being under sedation for periods of time, Natasha
Aeriel has been providing authorities with information about the shootings, the mayor said.
Residents and law enforcement organizations have donated $150,000 to aid the victims' families and to fund a reward for information leading authorities to the killers.

Hawk Week gets in gear
Week-long welcome acclimates students to campus
BY JEFF DETERS
jdeters@kansan.com
More than 10,000 students participate in Hawk week each year.
Heidie Grove, Hawk Week Coordinator, said the week-long event has always had one common goal.
"We provide Hawk Week for new students and returning students because we want it to be a celebration for the beginning of the school year," Grove said. "It's a way for new students to get acclimated to the University of Kansas through traditions and different student activities that are involved."
Events scheduled for tonight are an ice cream social at 6:30 p.m. at the Adams Alumni Center, Traditions Night at 8 p.m. at Memorial Stadium and Rock-a-Hawk at 10 p.m. at the Visitor Center parking lot. Students can enjoy free ice cream before going
to the stadium to wave the wheat and sing the alma mater.
Grove said this year's Traditions Night would look different than it had in the past. It's going to have more of a pep rally-type setting where different student organizations will do performances. At Rocka-Hawk, students can enjoy a night of snacks, music and dancing.
Grove said Hawk Week, which is funded by various campus organizations, was focused on new students but all students were welcome.
"It's just kind of a week-long fun opportunity for students to have to attend events and be a part of KU traditions and become a part of the KU family." Grove said.
Throughout the week, buses are being provided to shuttle students living in the residence halls to major events for free.
Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of Student Involvement and director
Leadership Center, said 100 student groups would provide information to attendees at Tuesday night's events.
"It's a real fun, cool outdoors experience for students," he said.
Tim Fields, Lincoln, Neb, senior, has been to many Hawk Week events. Fields also works at the Jaybowl and took part in Union Fest on Sunday night, where students enjoyed free cosmic bowling. Fields said Beach 'n' Boulevard and Traditions Night were two of his favorite events during Hawk Week and encouraged everyone to participate in some way
"It's a very fun time," Fields said. "It's a good chance to get involved and see what everything has to offer."

SPOTLIGHT
KU
Heidle Grove, a project coordinator and academic advisor at the University, is coordinating Hawk Week this year. This is her first year in charge of the Hawk Week activities, which began Sunday.
BY JEFF DETERS
jdeters@kansan.com
Heidie Grove is busy year-round. She splits her time between advising in the University Advising Center and coordinating Hawk Week, which takes year-round planning. She also helps plan Success Week in September.
While growing up in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Grove dreamed of having a career as a fashion designer.
"I always knew I was just one of those people that love fashion and learning about it," Grove said. "It was just always an interest area for me."
Grove earned her undergraduate degree from Iowa State University, where she majored in communication studies and apparel merchandising.
While at Iowa State she studied abroad in Swansea, Wales. She didn't know anybody in the program, but that didn't stop her from proving that she could travel alone from Germany to Prague by train.
Her experience studying abroad changed her life and her goals.
"It was something that I wanted to do, and I guess I learned that I could survive and I could do this and that there's all this world to see," Grove said. "I wanted to be part of it and learn more about it."
"I thought, 'I want to share this with other people.' she said.
After college, she worked for a dot-com business in Omaha for about a year and then decided to go back to school and get a master's degree in education at Miami University in Ohio. She worked as an academic adviser to 250 students in a residence hall.
Grove said she found a lot of students were from the east coast
or the Chicago area at Miami University in Ohio.
"They were very high-achieving students just like they are at KU." Grove said.
"The thing I find out about KU students is that they are just so wonderful, so welcoming, so friendly, hardworking, very strong-valued," Grove said. "And I can't say enough about the students here."
Shanda Hurler, assistant director of the University Advising Center and former Hawk Week coordinator, said Grove's diverse background and work ethic has had a positive influence.
"She's done a great job of learning the ropes on her own and bringing her own touch to Hawk Week," Hurler said. "I think she's perfect to be Hawk Week Coordinator."
Grove has met with students and staff on campus to find ways to make Hawk Week better every year. When she isn't working, Grove likes to read, workout and spend time with her husband Stu,
and family and friends.
Grove and her husband are sports fans. While attending the men's basketball game against Iowa State University last year in Allen Fieldhouse, Grove said, she didn't take sides.
"I went in neutral garb," she said.
Grove said that in the future she would like to explore the option of living abroad and teaching English. She'd also like to travel to Thailand, Australia and other countries.
But for now, Grove is happy where she is. Although she has traveled all around the world, she feels right at home at the University.
"I feel like I'm definitely part of the KU family," she said. "This job has been amazing because I've gotten connected with so many people on campus and got to work with a lot of amazing staff and students. It's everything I hoped it would be."

Men walk past a billboard showing a cartoon of the Statue of Liberty at the Maleon on July 26 in Havana. During a ceremony marking the 54th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, acting president Raul Castro said Cuba had avoided the collapse that the U.S. predicted before his brother Fidel fell ill a year ago, and signaled he was willing to talk with a new U.S. administration after President George W. Bush leaves power.
Cuba engages propaganda machine
BY WILL WEISSERT
Associated Press
HAVANA — Most Cubans call him "Fidel," but the island's 80-year-old "Maximum Leader" has never lacked nicknames: "The Man," "The Boss," "The One." Some even call Fidel Castro "The Horse," an obscure reference to zodiac symbols in the Chinese gaming parlors he closed nearly 50 years ago.
When Castro fell ill last July, Cuba's propaganda machine came up with another: "Country."
"Fidel Is A Country" showed up on billboards that seemingly appeared overnight and have remained since then, suggesting that Fidel faithful
will carry on his revolution after he's gone.
Billboards blanket parks, public squares, intersections and highways all over the island, rising above apartment buildings in the city and sugar and coffee fields outside it. Many lionize Castro and revolutionary hero Ernesto "Che" Guevara, urge energy conservation or use cartoons to promote communism and nationalist fervor.
Communist Cuba is almost completely devoid of advertising. Instead, there is prooaganda.
Just outside Havana's Jose Marti International Airport, a billboard shows a poker hand with Bush caught between a smirk and a frown as the ace of spades. Adolf Hitler is the ace of hearts. Two more aces feature Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch, anti-communist militants whom authorities here accuse of bombing of Cuban airliner in 1976.
"It's easy to say, 'I'm good and you're bad,'" said Gloria Mendez, who lives near the Bush billboard. "The political propaganda, it has its effect on people. They see it and they get mad at the United States."
Many also reflect hatred toward the U.S. government, its 45-year-old trade embargo and President George W. Bush.
A play on the Spanish word for "aces," spells out "Full of Murders."

Student Senate members will be meeting with the Parking Commission soon to make a presentation about parking near
"We heard a concern from a large amount of students," Wittlinger said.
Wittling said that he and Love will be making a presentation to
the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. When Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, and Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior and student body vice president, ran for the United Students coalition last spring, one of their platforms was providing 24-hour parking spaces at the recreation center.
"I think it's important that when we present this we show that there is a student need."
RAY WITTLINGER Student body vice president
Wittlinger said this meeting is a step towards fulfilling that platform.
He said he and other student senators worked over the summer to write drafts of proposals and research student needs regarding parking.
"I think it's important that when we present this we show that there is a student need," Wittlinger said.
He said the problem with the parking lot is that it does not allow students without yellow parking permits to drive to the recreation center to work out during the daytime. And because freshmen are not allowed to purchase yellow parking permits, they are excluded entirely
the Parking Commission in the next few weeks. A date for the meeting has not yet been set, but he expects it to be sometime in late August or in early September.
"I expect
we'll present the Commission with a written proposal and run down reasons for the problem and then answer questions," Wittlinger said.
He said options for opening up parking for the recreation center include having designated parking spots available for any KU permits, not only yellow ones, or making an arrangement with the center in which students could get a parking pass from the center to put on their car while they work out, and then return it when they are done.
Wittlinger said that the intention is not to take away any available parking in the lots.
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said the Commission would be open to making the changes suggested by Love and Wittlinger.
"Whatever decision is made, I think the Commission would give
a fair ear," Hultine said. "If there's a way to solve problems, I think the Commission is willing to help."
Hultine said that several years ago parking was modified at Watkins Memorial Health Center to allow students without proper permits to park in the parking lot while they were in the building. She said the arrangement caused administrative problems, so the policy was taken away and metered parking was added.
Wittlinger said that he and other Student Senate members met with both the Parking Department and KU Recreation Services to prevent any such problems.
"We don't want to take away authority from the Parking Department, and we don't want to create something the rec will have to deal with," Wittlinger said.
Hultine said she met twice with Love and Wittlinger, before and after they were elected last spring, regarding parking issues on campus. She also said she would wait and see the proposals put forth by Love and Wittlinger.
Wittlinger said he thinks there's a good chance the Parking Commission will pass the initiative.
"We've had good communication with parking and transit and the rec center," Wittlinger said.
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, was not in the office last week and could not be reached for comment.

Famous brothel revitalized

Like the proverbial phoenix rising from the ashes, the gaudy pink stucco buildings used to house a stable of prostitutes are in a new location, under new management and looking better than ever.
In its 40 years, the self-proclaimed World Famous Mustang Ranch has seen the mur der of a heavyweight boxing contender, an owner who skipped the country to dodge the federal government and tens of thousands of customers.
Its current owner, real estate developer Lance Gilman, bought the Mustang for $145,100 on eBay. "The Mustang Ranch was a historical site," Gilman said. "It was a business decision."
The original owner, Joe Conforte, arrived in Nevada in the mid 1950s from Oakland, Calif., where he worked as a cab driver who often steered his fares toward

Recruitment goes high-tech
System lets sororities use Internet to select new members
BY SARAH NEFF
sneff@kansan.com
The time-honored tradition of sorority recruitment has some digital.
This year, the application and selection process for Panhellenic Association formal recruitment will use a new online system. Potential members filled out an electronic
application before Rush Week. After each round of recruitment, chapters can turn in their choices using the online system.
Christy Steinbrueck, Lake St. Louis, Mo., senior and vice president of Panhellenic sorority recruitment, said the system made her job easier. She said that in past summers, Steinbrueck and her colleagues had to

type in all the information from the applications, and it would take most of the summer. With the new system, it all downloads into a spreadsheet.
"The new system has made things a lot easier, and it's a lot faster to get info out to chapters," Steinbrueck said.
This semester about 780 women will go through the formal sorority recruitment process. There are 55 trained recruitment counselors who will help the potential members through the process.
While the women are formally introducing recruits to their chapters and entertaining them with songs and skits, the fraternity men will welcome their new members. The majority of freshmen men moved in during the weekend to get acquainted with their brothers and to participate in Hawk Week.
Michael Gillespie, Ashland junior and vice president of recruitment for the Interfraternity Council, said it was important for the men to be exposed to their fraternity and to the University before school starts. He also said men's recruitment wouldn't be going completely electronic anytime soon because fraternity recruitment traditionally occurred during their senior year in high school.
"It would be beneficial," Gillespie said. "But there's not necessarily a need for it since formal recruitment numbers are lower for us."
This year the Interfraternity Council had 86 formal recruits. Gillespie said that was the highest number they had ever had. Last year they had 72.
Gillespie said the council had been working to increase those numbers. They have been going to high schools and doing classroom presentations to educate young men about fraternities. He said they were trying to break the stereotype that fraternities are all parties by emphasizing the philanthropy and camaraderie.

The appeal of the third installment of the Spider-Man franchise shows in its numbers. According to the Box Office Mojo Web site, www.boxofficemojo.com, Spider-Man 3 earned $59 million on opening day, shattering the previous single-day gross record held by Pirates of the Caribbean; Dead Man's Chest, Spider-Man 3 tallied a record $382 million in its opening weekend.

Advanced screenings of films are also events to look for this semester. Bowers said last semester's early screening of what turned out to be a big summer hit, Knocked Up, went well and inspired future advanced screenings.

NICE AND ACCURATE PROPHECIES
Musings on the English language
Them there, is they filled?
This was a real question put to me by a real person several months ago. I worked then as I do now in a bakery on Iowa St, and this woman asked about the long johns.
She was not polite or refined and after ordering a surplus of pastries and doughnuts she neglected to tip me.
BENJAMIN R. SMITH
I disliked that she was rude and that she showed no gratitude, but most of all I disliked her disregard for proper English vernacular. To hear my native tongue abused by a fellow native turned my stomach.
A slip up is one thing. I sometimes allow an "ain't" to blip in and out of my everyday speech but the inaptitude this woman exhibited seemed taintamount to laziness and disrespect.
quibbling over grammar is pointless. The woman wanted to know if the long johns were filled. I got her point. Where is the problem?
Some people don't care about the rules of grammar. To them, thinking out what they are going to say and how they are going to say it is a waste of time and effort.
Of course, some of you will argue that

SEMESTER with dread
Before they let me write on the editorial board, the big-wigs at the UDK asked to see a few samples of my writing. I sent them some stuff to show my diabolical insanity
and despite my eccentricities they said "okay, you can write a column, but..."
They said I cursed too much. My favorite word being "TISHLLUB" spelled backwards and my second favorite starting with "A" and ending with "SSHOLE."
"Go British," one of them said. "
Women dig guys with accents."
Well, despite my thoughts that all this prudishness was a load of bullocks, I decided to comply and abide. Wankers! They can ruddy well kiss my arse!
I suppose it has something to do with one's philosophy of language. Some words are not okay all of the time for all people according to some. I respect that, yet strongly disagree. If I ever procreate, I hope my mother will be appalled at my child's ability to make Marines blush scarlet. Hell, maybe the kid will be wise enough

Varying opinions are the bane and beauty of humanity. In the end all I can say is that I hope you'll forgive me. I believe expression is natural and should be unhindered even if it offends. But my good manners dictate that making people mad is bad form.
I want to make people think and if spelling bad words backwards and using the acronym for a Wichita-based private college gets your gears a-turnin', so be it.

My awesome summer vacation
Summer ended and now we talk about where we've been and what we've done. But who wants to hear how I spent my summer held up in a calculus class? No one. So I've taken the liberty to add some minor embellishments.
May was kind of a hectic month for me. I had hardly finished finals and a three-week gig as an underwear model when I had to catch the redeye to LA to cut the cord for Julia Roberts's son. She wanted to name it after me.
"Jules," I said, "I can't let you do that."
"But you mean so much to me. It's 'he least I can do.'
"Think of all the unwanted attention he'll get."
"True," she said. A nurse tried to chase me from the room, but Julia
had her fired on the spot. Then she said, "Well, what can I do for you?"
"Get me two tickets to the premiere of your niece's movie. My wife's a huge Nancy Drew fan."
"Seoren," said Presidente Kirchner, "we must ban exports."
Julia pulled a cell phone from beneath her hospital gown and made a few calls. All the seats were spoken for, so there was some jockeying and I ended up taking Emma Roberts's spot while she watched the premiere on Access Hollywood later that night.
"Presidente," I began.
After so much action in May,
I just wanted to spend June

relaxing. My family and I spent the entire month helskiking in Patagonia. While we were down there I met with some high-ranking Argentine officials about their economically-foolish ban on exporting beef.
"Please," he interrupted, "call me Nestor."
"It just doesn't make sense," I said.
"I know," he said, "but if I back
down just because some big-name American came in here and told me I should, I'll lose face."
"Hey, I'm not Bono; when it comes to economics, I actually know what I'm talking about."
"Consider it done," he said.
July was supposed to be when I started touring in support of my new album, "I Spit Hot Commentaries" (featuring my hit single "Girl, I'm Gonna Hit It Like a Bag of Walnuts"). However,
as I was gargling lemon tea backstage before the first of my fifteen sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden, Britney Spears called.
"Waiter, the chicken took three measures of barley," she said.
"Brit," I said, "slow down. You're not making any sense."
"The lovable eyes know the moon is devious," she replied.
"Have you gone crazy again?" I asked.
"Who knows the meaning of three dogs sniffing each other in a circle?"
"Yep, you're crazy. Just don't do anything until I get there. Remember last time when you married Kevin Federline?"
So I drove Britney to rehab, then went back the next day and picked her up, then took her back again a couple days later, then picked her up again right after that. If I get three more hole punches on the center's frequent visitors card, I'll qualify for a free case of "exhaustion" for myself and three friends.
August has been just brutal. Between my record, my movie premiere ("I Now Pronounce You Nine Dollars Poorer," in theaters now), my book signing ("Bigger Than Jesus and Three Times as Handsome," $29.95 from Knopf), and my single-handed negotiation of a framework for peace in Darfur, I've hardly had time to get ready for another semester at KU. But I knew it was important, so I made the time. After all, if there's one thing I do well, it's keeping it real.

FROM JAYPLAY
A word from Jaime Netzer on KU's lifestyle magazine
It's that time again. Backpacks are being hauled out of closets, local bars are brimming once again with thirst students, and Target will be insufferably busy for the next several weeks.
As you begin your fall semester at KU, whether it is your first year or your fifth, you may wonder to yourself how this semester will treat you. How much of Lawrence will you see? How many new bands will you discover? Will your parents call often? Will you be single or spoken for?
Jayplay, your friendly campus lifestyle and culture magazine, wonders these very same questions. Jayplay is about life—and how to have one. We are tickled to have the chance to share this semester with you all, to inform and entertain you, and maybe even to help you out once and a while.
Our five different departments—or sections—aim to cover the topics that both make up your life and make it interesting. We want you to be in good health, so we may write stories about the endless benefits of a well-crafted smoothie or the dangers of over-exercising. We will also write about your contact - that is, your relationships - with fellow students, professors, boyfriends and girlfriends. We want you have a good time when you go out, so we'll write about nightlife and cultural activities and the best eats in town. We want you to know your community well, so we'll also write about the people that work, play, and live in it. Finally, we want you notice certain random and unusual stories that we've unearthed to amuse and enlighten you.
If you looking for a minute-long diversion from your homework or your roommate, our short stories
will squeeze quite comfortably into that time. Tell yourself that chemistry can wait until you've absorbed the gems of wisdom dispensed by your peers in Wescoe Wit. Or tell your roommate you'll change the toilet paper roll after finishing Hawk Topics.
In the highest of spirits we will bring you all of this, plus a weekly events calendar to keep you in the know about where to see and be seen, a long feature story, and a riveting personal essay in every issue written by one of our dedicated staffers.
Look for us on Thursdays, as you're preparing for each and every glorious weekend of this semester. We'll be right there with you.

An ode to parental units
My parents are concerned for my well-being. It's the fact of life that is both endearing and endlessly annoying.
The concern reached its peak in January, when I headed back to England for a solid six months after a holiday break of good food and relaxation. During my spring break trip—a four-week jaunt across Europe—I e-mailed my mother every day to let her know that I was still alive. I sent her my fall class schedule, which I'd finally completed at an internet café in Barcelona. She listened as I vented my frustration, but was also interested in reading about my various adventures.
I was set up. My mother has it in her head that between my job and my classes, I won't find the time to eat. We've stocked up on groceries and multi-vitamins so that I don't end up with scurvy. The apartment that I probably won't spend much time in will be decorated and
When I finally came home.
KELSEY HAYES
When I finally came home, what had been uneasiness regarding my far-flung location morphed into concern for my mental state. I was taking twelve summer hours, including an economics class at JCCC that required me to shovel down dinner and run out the door at 5:30pm, shortly after my parents got home. My parents at one time probably forgot that they had a daughter.
Just as the classes ended and it appeared that I could relax for awhile, the return to KU was imminent. I barely had time to enjoy the end of production functions and marginal product when the time came to shop for school supplies.
Here too my parents made sure that
outfitted for comfort. Once school begins, I'll still e-mail my mother every day, even if she is a paltry 45 minutes away.
As hovering as my parents seem (and even they know when to keep a respectful distance). I secretly like their involvement. It's a paradox. As frustrating as it is for them to want to know everything, deep down I'm comforted by their desire to know everything.
When I freak out about one thing or another, my dad tells me that he learned long ago that anything that I say I will do, I'll do. When I told my parents that I was adding on the international studies co-major (which technically would be my third concentration), they told me
to go for it,but not to drive myself crazy.
I've heard friends complain that their parents push them to do things or to study subjects that don't interest them. Their parents push them further than they're prepared
to go. In my case, my parents often keep me from going too far. When I count off the classes and activities that I want to participate in, their advice is to know when to quit.
Their interest in me—whether it be my safety in another country or my sleep needs—is comforting, but I admit that I abuse it. I want them to leave me alone when it's expedient, and I want them to be there for me when it's expedient. I sun-
pose that the challenge for both of us is to find an equilibrium. Smothering though they may be, I know that it certainly wasn't just me who moved food, furniture, electronics, posters and kitchenware into my apartment a few days ago. I'm also not the one to have bought enough groceries to outlast a nuclear war. I know that I certainly underappreciate them, but then again, they're the first to tell me that they felt the same way about their parents when they were my age.

Regents waive late fees for some Kansas students
"Hopefully this plan will relieve some of the stress of meeting a deadline so soon after a disaster has struck and give some breathing room to those who need it," Cohen said.
The disaster areas included Greensburg which was hit by a tornado in May, and Coffeyville, which was flooded and dealt with an oil spill in July.
This is the first time in recent years that Kansas has done a statewide deferment program like this, except waiving penalties for students transferring to KU after Hurricane Katrina.
KU, and it shows great support and compassion," Chris Carr, Coffeyville junior, said.
ccondron@kansan.com
Residents of 43 counties eligible for deferred tuition
"The Bursar's office can help each student find out the best way to pay their tuition, and it may be different for everyone, whether it's just paying the fee later, or paying it in installments," Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said.
The Board of Regents has waived tuition late fees for students from 43 Kansas counties affected by natural disasters.
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
"Initially, fewer counties were eligible to receive assistance, but as these disasters continued, and we had more flooding in the state, there were more counties included in the disaster declaration," Sharon Watson, the Kansas Adjutant General's Department director of public affairs, said.
Originally, KU was the only state university to implement a plan to waive tuition late fees for these students. However, the Board of Regents declared July 31 that all six state universities would adopt the deferred tuition option.
deferred tuition
However, Watson said she does not anticipate this number to increase. Students from these 43 counties can sign up online by Aug. 15, and develop a plan with the Bursar's office to make their tuition payments. This option also applies to students at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Edited by Trevan McGee
"We recognized that the catastrophes in Kansas this year would put a financial strain on families, and the most immediate thing we can do to alleviate that strain is to allow them this option," Provost Richard Lariviere said.
The deferred tuition option is available to students from these 2 flooded Southeast Kansas counties: Allen, Anderson, Bourbon, Butler, Chautauqua, Cherokee, Coffey, Cowley, Crawford, Elk, Franklin, Greenwood, Labette, Linn, Miami, Montgomery, Neosho, Osage, Wilson, and Woodson.
As of Aug. 6, 17 students had already signed up.
Also eligible are students from these 23 counties who were declared eligible for individual federal assistance:
Barton, Clay, Cloud, Comanche, Dickinson, Edwards, Ellsworth, Kiowa, Leavenworth, Lyon, McPherson, Osborne, Ottawa, Phillips, Pottawatomie, Pratt, Reno, Rice, Riley, Saline, Shawnee, Smith, and Stafford (these include Greensburg, hit by a tornado in May, and Coffeyville, hit by floods in June).
"I think it's very considerate of
Usually, students would be charged a $100 late fee after the tuition deadline has passed then additional charges would be added each month. With this payment option, those fees would be waived until Nov. 15, or until the student enrolls for the spring semester.
"This gives them a little more time to accumulate the money they need, instead of having to pay these bills all at once." Lariviere said.

CRIME
Nowak also argues that the device interferes with her ability to exercise
BY TRAVIS REED
ORLANDO. Fla. — Former astronaut Lisa Nowak wants a judge to let her remove the ankle bracelet that allows authorities to track her as she awaits trial on suspicion of attacking a romantic rival, calling it expensive and unnecessary.
Nowak wants ankle monitor off
Nowak is paying $105 a week — $2,940 so far — for the monitoring device as a condition of her release, according to a court filing her attorney says was made Thursday. A clerk at the Circuit Court in Orange County could not find the filing, but said it could be on its way.
— and her ability to drive, fly on a commercial airplane and monitor
her children in the pool.
"The device is not small, comfortable, lightweight or unobtrusive, as its supplier would have one believe," the filing says.
Nowak has pleaded not guilty to attempted kidnapping, battery and burglary with assault. She is accused of attacking Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman in a parking lot at Orlando International Airport. Nowak told police she and Shipman were vying for the affection of former astronaut Bill Ofefelein.
Kepler Funk, an attorney for Shipman, said he planned to fight the motion.
"Assuming the judge allows me to speak on the topic, I'm going to tell the judge that Ms. Shipman still has fear regarding Ms. Nowak," Funk said.
In an interview with detectives,
Nowak says she confronted Shipman because she wanted to know "where she stands" in the bizarre love triangle.
Nowak, 44, is accused of attacking Shipman with pepper spray and trying to jump into her vehicle. Police say Nowak was carrying a duffel bag with a steel mallet, 4-inch knife and a BB gun.
Nowak's attorneys say the bracelet's manufacturer has used her case for publicity, in violation of privacy rights. Without naming the company, the motion says its president "invited media to his office and specifically shared what his device could reveal about Lisa Nowak" in early May.
Nowak was dismissed from the astronaut corps a month after her arrest. Her trial is set for September. Oefelein was dismissed from the corps at the beginning of June.

unusual fundraising plan PRESTON — Officials in this cash-strapped community have come up with an unusual way to raise funds. They're sending letters to current and former residents asking for money.
The city coffers are nearly empty and the 1960s-era city trucks need
to be replaced. The fire truck from 1965 needs new brakes and a leg on the city water tower needs to be reinforced.
A letter signed by Mayor Wayne Scott and endorsed by the city council has been sent to past and present residents and Preston High School alumni asking for financial donations.
"Preston is currently at a cross-roads;" the letter reads. "We can either continue to let the town
head in a negative direction or turn it around in a positive direction."
Scott said city finances in Preston took a turn for the worse in 2005 when the city was forced to replace its aging sewer system.
"Something like that is very,very expensive for a little town,"Scott said. "Right now,with everything else, we're getting by on a Band-Aid approach, fixing things as they break and just trying to keep our head above water."

KU enacts new Internet policy
BY MAGGIE VANBUSKIRK
mvanbuskirk@okansan.com
You might want to think twice before downloading copyrighted material on campus this fall.
The University of Kansas adopted a zero tolerance approach for illegal downloads and file shares of copyrighted material. Any student found participating in such activities on campus will immediately have his or her personal Internet privileges revoked. The University is not actively pursuing or monitoring student computer activity. However, if the University receives a copyright
infringement complaint from an artist or corporation it has a moral and legal responsibility to respond.
"It is the brutal truth. If you download material without an artist's permission, it is against the law," said
Mehmedovic,
The new approach is outlined in the KU ResNet Responsible Use Agreement. All students living in university housing must read and acknowledge that they have read the agreement before getting access to the University's network. Students also must take a quiz over the agreement and downloading regulations.
The University is following steps outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that say Internet providers must take immediate action when notified that one of their network users is downloading illegally.
"It is the brutal truth, if you download material without an artist's permission it is against the law. We have an obligation to take action."

Students whose privileges are revoked will be able to use computers in campus libraries and other facilities as well as in residence hall resource rooms.
According to Mehmedovic, last year the University had anywhere from 30 complaints in a single day to less than one complaint in an entire week.
"We are really trying to help pave the way so that there are no surprises," Mehmedovic said. "We want incoming students to be well aware of the new approach so they are not in the situation where they lose their Internet privileges in their residence hall room."
According to the Office of Student Success, the zero tolerance approach was mentioned in new student orientation and described in letters to parents and students from

They come from entertainment representatives such as the Motion Picture Association of America, BusinessSoftware Alliance, Recording Industry Association of America and the Interactive Digital Music Corporation.
The number of complaints has risen over the years, but that does not mean the amount of illegal downloads has increased. Mehmedovic said it was possible the entertainment industry was just more aggressively perusing illegal use of its material.

Five-year funding plan will provide KU with $25 M
BY MAGGIE VANBUSKIRK
mvanbuskirk@kansan.com
After a deferred maintenance bill was passed by the Kansas House in April, the University submitted a proposal of how it will spend the additional funding for campus repairs to the Board of Regents. The board reviewed the proposal in its June meeting.
The deferred maintenance bill provides a five-year funding plan that will begin in the 2008 fiscal year. Throughout the duration of the plan, $90 million will be distributed for campus repairs at the University and five other state universities.
"The five-year plan is prioritized," Modig said. "With the initial five
According to Jim Modig, director of design and construction management, the University expects to receive $25 million during the five years of the plan. It will receive $9.9 million the first year.
years of funding we plan to make improvements on the tunnels and 11 buildings"
The University proposed to use funding for tunnel repairs and mechanical improvements in Wescoe Hall and Haworth Hall during the first year of the plan. That includes new air handling units in Wescoe and new exhaust hoods in Haworth's labs. Modig said the tunnels, which are a century old and provide heat to campus buildings, will either be replaced or repaired.
Funding from the deferred maintenance bill comes from the Statewide Maintenance and Disaster Relief Fund. It could be available to the University in August to hire consultants for the design and construction of repairs. By Spring 2008, Modig said, he hoped the University would have bids for all the year's projects.

ARVIN, Calif. — Lying in a rich agricultural region dotted with vineyards and orange groves, this central California community seems an unlikely place for a dubious distinction: the most polluted air in America.
Hemmed in by mountains, Arvin is the final destination for pollutants from cities as far away as San Francisco Bay, and its wheezing residents are paying the price. Many of them complain that the air smells toxic.
"It's common for people here to say, 'I'm going to the beach so I can breathe,'" said Raji Brar, a councilwoman and member of the board that oversees the San Joaquin Valley's Air Pollution Control District.
Arvin has none of the smokebelching factories or congested freeways of cities such as Los Angeles. In fact, it produces little pollution. But the pollutants that blow in from elsewhere get trapped by the mountains, causing airborne particles to coat homes and streets and blot out views of the nearby Teachahapi range on hot summer days.
Doctors and public officials say asthma and other respiratory problems are common among the 15,000 residents who live 20 miles southeast of Bakersfield. People complain of watery eyes, dry throats and inexplicable coughs, particularly in the summer, when temperatures can climb over 100 degrees and stay there for days.
Arvin's level of ozone, the primary component in smog, exceeded the amount considered acceptable by the EPA on an average of 73 days per year between 2004 and 2006. Second on the EPA's list was the Southern California town of Crestline, at 65 days. The San Francisco Bay Area averaged just
four days over the same period.
"Sometimes you go outside and can hardly breathe," said Irma Garza, 48, who has lived here most of her life. "The worst part is in the summertime you can't send your kids outside to play."
Despite the health complaints, the valley's air-quality board voted in April to extend by 11 years the region's deadline to meet federal ozone standards, saying cleaning up the air by the previous target date of 2012 was not possible. Brar, the city council member, voted against that decision.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger criticized the move when the California Air Resources Board voted in June to approve the local board's extension. A few days later, he fired the board's chairman.
The EPA is now considering the extension.
Brar and other local officials say Arvin has been neglected by smog regulators because its residents are mostly poor, Hispanic farmworkers.
Seyed Sadredin, executive director of the valley air district, denied that and said he is trying to improve the board's efforts in the town.
"Everything we've done here is for Arvin," he said. "But unfortunately, Arvin will see progress later than any other area because that's where pollution flushes out of the valley."
Air conditioning is a luxury many residents cannot afford, said Amalia Leal, a family advocate with the local school district. Without the skills or resources to relocate, many families are trapped in Arvin.
In the meantime, residents make small adjustments to reduce their exposure to the dirty air.
But her advice to parents with chronically asthmatic children is simple.
"Move," she said. "If you love your child, move."

LOS ANGELES — All charges have been dismissed against two Marines accused in the killings of 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha, the Marine Corps announced Thursday.

In his decision to dismiss charges, Lt. Gen. James Mattis, the commanding general with jurisdiction in the case, said he was sympathetic to the challenges Marines on the ground face in Iraq.

Charges dropped against marines
Mattis met with Sharratt and Stone at Camp Pendleton early Thursday to tell them the charges were dismissed. Sharratt's mother, Theresa, said her
son called home immediately afterward.
"He says, 'Mom, it's over,'" she said. "Those are the words I couldn't wait to hear."
"Though I am glad I will be able to move on with my life,my heart is still heavy for my fellow Marines...who continue to face serious charges."
Theresa Sharratt said that her son's four-year enlistment ended last month, but that he had been kept in the service on a legal hold. He is now
free to become a civilian and may go back to school.
Sharratt's attorneys, Gary Myers and James Culp, released a brief statement from their client, who said he knew he had done nothing wrong.
"Though I am glad I will be able to move on with my life, my heart is still heavy for my fellow Marines ... who continue to face serious charges," Sharratt said in the statement.
Four enlisted Marines were initially charged with murder, and four officers were charged with failing to investigate. Prosecutors dropped charges against one of the enlisted men, Sgt. Sanick P. Dela Cruz of Chicago, and gave him immunity to testify against his squad mates.
The central figure in the case remains squad leader Staff Sgt. Frank Wutierch of Meriden, Conn., who faces 18 counts of murder. He is scheduled to attend a preliminary hearing Aug. 22.
The other enlisted Marine, Lance Cpl. Stephen Tatum of Edmond, Okla., has attended a preliminary hearing, but no recommendation has been made about whether he should
stand trial for murder.
Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani of Rangely, Colo., is the only other officer aside from Stone to attend an initial hearing, known as an Article 32 investigation. The investigator for Chessani recommended he face a general court-martial on charges of dereliction of duty for failing to investigate.
The two dozen Iraqis died after a roadside bomb killed Lance Cpl. Miguel Terrazas, of El Paso, Texas, who was driving a Humvee.
In the aftermath of the blast, Marines shot a group of men by a car and cleared several houses with grenades and gunfire. The Marines have said they believed the houses were occupied by insurgents, but the victims included elderly people, women and children, including several who were slain in bed.

Again, Mattis found no fault in Stone's actions, and said the captain would continue to serve as a lawyer in the Marines.

PARKING
Lots will accept all permits Anyone with KU parking permit may use Park & Ride lot
BY MAGGIE VANBUSKIRK
mvanbuskirk@kansan.com
Beginning this month, Park & Ride officially opened its lots to all KU parking permits.
Parking Department officials said that accepting any permit would encourage students to utilize the lots and help decrease congestion on the main campus.
Campus parking is becoming increasingly difficult for students, especially with construction on lots
91 and 94 near Memorial Stadium, said Danny Kaiser, assistant director for the parking department.
"You don't have to hunt for a place to park," Kaiser said. "You can park immediately and hop on a bus to go to campus."
He said opening the Park & Ride lots was a viable alternative for students and faculty having trouble finding open parking spaces.
Kaiser said Park & Ride lots hold 1,400 spaces. The parking department has sold only 900 Park & Ride permits this year.
Park & Ride permits are still available for purchase. They cost $205 and include a KU on Wheels bus pass. The lots will return to accepting only Park & Ride permits when the Park & Ride permits begin to sell out, Kaiser said. He said that students and faculty must have a KU parking permit to park in the Park & Ride lots or they could park in the meters, and violators would be ticketed.

Remains recovered from WWII wreckage

Capt. George Murphy, left, and Sgt. Andrew Whicker, right, clean a 50 cal. machine gun on July 30 while searching for the remains of a U.S. airman shot down over Hungary during World War II. The remains of Staff Sgt. Martin F. Troy were found among the wreck of a B-24H "Liberator" bomber in the village of Nemesvita, about 110 miles southwest of Budapest, the capital.
BUDAPEST, Hungary — The remains of a U.S. airman whose plane was shot down over Hungary in World War II have been recovered from wreckage left unexcavated in a rural area for 63 years, American and Hungarian officials said Friday.
The remains of Staff Sgt. Martin F. Troy were found among the wreck of a B-24H "Liberator" bomber in the village of Nemesvita, about 110 miles southwest of the capital Budapest. They will be returned to the United States, officials said.
The location of the wreckage has been well known since the time of the crash — seven of the bomber's 10-man crew bailed out and the survivors gave an account about where it went down. They said Troy had likely died. But no one has gone back to thoroughly search the site since.
Troy, a native of Norwalk, Conn., was the only member of the bomber's crew who had yet to be fully accounted for. Though the identity of the remains must be confirmed by DNA testing, officials said there was virtually not doubt they belonged to Troy.
"After 63 years of being listed as 'killed in action, body not recovered,' this airman's family can finally experience closure," U.S. Ambassador to Hungary April H. Foley said at a ceremony to officially hand over the remains to the U.S.
The recovery was carried out by the U.S. military's Hawaii-based Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, or JPAC, which identifies and recovers American soldiers killed in conflicts around the world.
Tens of thousands of people from some two dozen countries were known to have been killed during the war in Hungary, which was invaded by Nazi Germany in 1944. The country was then under communist rule until 1989 and would not have allowed an American military team in to search the crash site.
The wreckage was deemed "unrecoverable" in 1945 by the American Graves Registration Unit, because of its location. The bomber crashed into marshy land, creating a crater some six yards wide by 18 yards long which was covered by 2-3 feet of water.
"The site of the crash had been heavily salvaged over the years ... probably during the war," said anthropologist Bradley Sturm, the only civilian on the JPAC team.
"Given the fact that there were tons of metal in that aircraft, there was hardly anything left."
He said Troy's bones were scattered around the crater caused by the crash, a few miles from Lake Balaton on privately owned land.
JPAC began making efforts to recover Troy's remains two years ago "because of congressional interest," said Marine Capt. George Murphy, the military leader of the JPAC team. One of the surviving crew members and other veterans lobbied for the JPAC mission. The original survivors from Troy's crew are all dead now, Sturm said.
Murphy said JPAC's limited resources also held up the search for Troy's remains. The group has only five teams to search for about 80,000 Americans still missing from World War II.
Sturm said the excavation of the wreck took 30 days and an engine and three propeller blades were among items recovered from the bomber.
"There is a good chance that Troy died before the plane hit the ground," Sturm said. "There was a big fire involving a leakage in the oxygen system and another crew member was badly burned trying to get to him."
Troy was the tail gunner on the bomber nicknamed "Miss Fortune," which was returning from a mission in Germany to its base in Italy. His aircraft and three others flew into bad weather and were shot down by German gunners over western Hungary on June 30, 1944.
JPAC will attempt to return Troy's remains to his family if it can be found.

Astronauts evaluate damage
BY RASHA MADKOUR ASSOCIATED PRESS
Canadian Space Agency astronaut Dave Williams, right, and mission specialist Rick Mastracchio work outside of the Space Shuttle Endeavour during a space walk while orbiting Earth on Saturday.
HOUSTON — Astronauts worked Sunday to give NASA a closer look at a troubling gouge on the Endeavour's protective heat shield to help determine whether they need to repair the 3-inch wound on the space shuttle's belly.
NASA
Astronaut Charles Hobaugh used the international station's robotic arm to pull a 50-foot laser-tipped boom from Endeavour's cargo bay and hand it off to the shuttle's robotic arm.
NASA
Later in the day, teacher-turned astronaut Barbara Morgan and crewmate Tracy Caldwell were to gingerly maneuver the shuttle's robotic arm to scan the damage in the difficult-to-reach belly area. The laser will help engineers create a three-dimensional image of the gash, allowing them to determine how deep the gouge is and whether
The space agency planned to spend several hours on the detailed inspection of the $3 \frac{1}{2}$-by-2-inch gash. It was caused by a piece of foam that came off the shuttle's external fuel tank during liftoff last week, striking tiles that insulate the ship from the intense heat of reentry to Earth, NASA said.
appears to have come off a bracket on the fuel tank, then bounced off a strut farther down and shot into Endeavour, said John Shannon, chairman of the mission management team. The brackets hold the long fuel feed line to the tank, and the struts connect the tank to the shuttle for launch. Ice tends to form near these brackets and cause the foam to pop off at liftoff.
The space agency won't know how serious the ding is or whether astronauts need to repair the damage during a spacewalk until it's examined.
Adding a spacewalk to the mission is less likely now that managers know the gash was not caused by heavier and potentially more damaging ice like they initially suspected. They learned this after examining video from cameras retrieved from Endeavour's booster rockets, which were towed back from the Atlantic.
repairs are needed.
Foam has come loose from the brackets on previous flights, Shannon said, and NASA is looking at how to redesign the apparatus to mitigate this problem.
A grapefruit-sized piece of foam
"It's a little bit of a concern to us because this seems to be something that has happened frequently," Shannon said.
Almost every mission in the 26 years of shuttle flight has ended with gouges of at least an inch in the thermal tiles that cover the belly. In one flight, nearly 300 dings that big were recorded.

Sunni extremists target moderates in recent attacks
BY BUSHRA JUHI ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — Five American soldiers were killed south of Baghdad, including four in a single roadside bombing, the military said Sunday.
The blast that killed the four soldiers and wounded four others occurred Saturday during combat operations south of the capital, the military said. Another soldier was killed Saturday by small-arms fire during a foot patrol southeast of Baghdad.
All the soldiers were assigned to Task Force Marne, which operates in an area with a volatile mix of Sunni and Shiite extremists.
The troops also have been cracking down on networks allegedly smuggling explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, from Iran to the Baghdad area. The precision-crafted explosives have become a growing threat to American troops, and the Pentagon has struggled to find ways to protect vehicles against their deadly power.
The deaths announced Sunday raised the death toll to at least 3,690 members of the U.S.military since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
U. S. and Iraqi forces elsewhere reportedly staged raids in a Shite stronghold in Baghdad and the holy city of Kufa.
A police officer said two civilians were killed and four wounded when the joint forces, backed by helicopters stormed into houses in Baghdad's Shiite district of Sadr City.
The officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information, also said 16 people were detained. The U.S. military said it was looking into the report.
AP Television News footage and
photos showed a crumpled white car and a truck pockmarked by shrapnel, with a pool of blood on the street. Dozens of men carried a black coffin in a funeral service for one of the purported victims.
Joint U.S.-Iraqi forces backed by air power also raided the house of an aide to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in the holy city of Kufa, 100 miles south of Baghdad, according to al-Sadr's office.
The U.S. military had no immediate word on that report either. Sheik Foud aad-Turfi was detained.
according to an official and a relative who declined to be identified because he feared retribution.
U. S. - led forces have routinely carried out raids
searching for Shiite militants since they launched a Baghdad security crackdown nearly six months ago. On Wednesday, U.S. aircraft and soldiers attacked Shiite militia bomb makers accused of links to Iran, killing 32 suspected militants and detaining 12 others.
Followers denied the cleric was linked to the alliance in Anbar province, but he issued his own call against al-Qaida last week during a funeral prayer for two nephews believed killed by extremists.
The raids have sent a strong message that U.S. forces plan no letup on suspected Shiite militia cells despite risks of upsetting the Shiite-led government.
The deaths announced Sunday raised the death toll to at least 3,690 members of the U.S. military since the Iraq War started in March 2003.
Al-Qaida-linked Sunni extremists, meanwhile, praised the attack on a moderate Sunni cleric who had recently spoken out against the terror network. Sheik Wathiq al-Obeidi was seriously wounded and three relatives were killed.
in western Iraq.
A Sunni insurgent umbrella group threatened an-Obeidi on Tuesday, calling him a traitor and accusing him of working with the U.S.-backed alliance of Sunni tribal leaders, who are fighting al-Qaida
The al-Qaida front group the Islamic State of Iraq did not officially claim the attack, but Web sites it generally uses to put out messages said it had been carried out by its militants.
Al-Obedi was one of two Sunni leaders who took public stances
against al-Qaida in Iraq to be attacked Saturday, in a sign the carrier network may ramp up retaliation against local chiefs who oppose it.
A local tribal leader in Albu
Khalifa was gunned down by militants who broke into his home late Saturday, police said.
Sheik Fawaq Sadda al-Khalifaiw had recently joined the antial-Qaida alliance in Anbar, said a police officer in the town of Karmah. The police officer declined to be identified for fear of more reprisals.
The United States has pointed to an anti-al-Qaida alliance of local Sunni leaders as a sign of turnaround. The attacks showed the high risks local leaders face by joining.
A powerful roadside bomb also killed the governor and police chief of a southern province that was torn by fierce fighting between Shiite factions, Al-Maliki ordered an investigation and urged residents to show restraint and not launch reprisals.

"I love the gamesmanship" he told Life magazine in 1988. "This may sound strange, but it parallels the game shows I've been involved in."
a lifelong crossword puzzle fan, he devised a game show "Word for Word," in 1963. It faded after one season, then his wife, Julann, suggested another show.
"Julian's idea was a twist on the usual question-answer format of the quiz shows of the Fifties," he wrote in his autobiography "Merv." "Her idea was to give the contestants the answer, and they had to come up with the appropriate question."
"jeopardy!" began in 1964, became a huge moneymaker for Griffin, as did a more conventional game show, "Wheel of Fortune," starting in 1975.
He was born in San Mateo, south of San Francisco on July 6, 1925, the son of a stockbroker. His aunt, Claudia Robinson, taught him to play piano at age 4, and soon the boy was staging shows on the back porch of the family home.
Griffin and Julann Elizabeth Wright were married in 1958, and a son, Anthony, was born the following year. The couple divorced in 1973 because of "irreconcilable differences."
"It was a pivotal time in my career, one of uncertainty and constant doubt," he wrote in the autobiography. "So much attention was being focused on me that my marriage felt the strain." He never remarried.

Glass half-full, undrinkable
Graduate student works to make water safe in Ecuador
BY SARAH NEFF
sneff@kansan.com
"Hacer camino al andar."
In Spanish it means to make a path where you walk. Maritza Yanez, Riobamba, Ecuador, graduate student, lives by this motto. She wants to make a new path in water treatment for her people when she returns to Ecuador. Yanez has a passion for water.
"My dream is to help my people",
Yanez said.
Yanez came to the United States on a Fulbright scholarship and with funding from the Los Pau Scholarship Program. Margaret Coffey, Yanez' sponsored student advisor while she is at the Applied English Center, said Yanez has a very positive attitude and has really immersed herself in the American culture. Coffey said Yanez struggled with English when she first arrived, but she did her best to communicate.
"She's really good at problem solving," Coffey said. "When something doesn't make sense to her she kind of just keeps working on it until she can get a solution that makes sense to her."
Yanez spent most of her life analyzing water at a lab at the Escuela Superior Politecnica de Chimborazo, a University in Ecuador. She found that sometimes the water was safe, but more often it was not drinkable. Many times she would find parasites in the drinking water.
"The children are sick, they are tired, they are not healthy," Yanez said. "When the children are unhealthy they can't learn, they can't study and they can't improve. It's so difficult there."
The National Resources Defense Council estimated that two in five people in the world didn't have access to safe drinking water. They also said nearly 5 million people died each year from water-related illnesses, and about 5,000 children died each day from drinking contaminated water.
When Yanez was working in the water analysis lab, she shared her results with the Ecuadorian people. She said they understood they were drinking bad water, but no one knew what to do about it. Yanez wrote papers and read many books on the subject, but still she could not bring together the organization and
expertise needed to effectively treat the water.
Yanez chose to come to the United States to earn a master's degree because all of the books she read were written here. All of the equipment used to test the water was made here. She said she wanted to learn about the culture and the organization of the United States.
"When something happens here, the people join quickly and help each other quickly," Yanez said. "I would like to learn about that; how can I do that with my people?"
Yanez wants to get an internship at a water treatment facility before she returns to Ecuador. She said the real world experience would be a valuable addition to the theories she learned. More than anything, she wants to bring the technology back to Ecuador so that her country can enjoy the basic human right to clean drinking water.
"It's so good when you see a child drinking drinkable water," Yanez said. "You feel amazing. Sometimes people don't understand that."

Election gives hope to Sierra Leone
BY CLARENCE ROY-MACAULAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Ballot-counting was under way Sunday in Sierra Leone's first presidential election since U.N. peace-keepers withdrew two years ago — a vote seen as a test of the country's transition to democratic rule.
Many Sierra Leoneans see the poll as a chance to show that they have finally emerged from a legacy of coups and a decade-long, diamond-fueled war as a multiparty state that can transfer power peacefully.
Seven candidates are vying to succeed President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. Term limits prevent the 75-year-old leader from running for a third five-year term.
THE BANKING FACILITY OF AFRICA
Still, there were disturbances. Late Saturday, police used tear gas to disperse crowds of youths setting up makehats roadblocks in a part of eastern Freetown.
The head of Sierra Leone's electoral commission, Christina Thorpe, said voting finished on time and without incident Saturday at most polling centers, despite rain and long lines.
Associated Press
Results from Saturday's presidential and parliamentary poll will be released progressively, with final tallies within 12 days of voting.
The most crucial period for the war-battered nation may come months down the road, when the public begins expecting real change from a new government. Despite progress since the 10-year war ended in 2002, analysts say many of the root problems that caused the conflict — corruption, poverty and unemployment — remain.
A Sierra Leone woman casts her vote Saturday in presidential and parliamentary elections at a polling station in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The war-battered West African country held its first elections Saturday since U.N. peacekeepers left nearly two years ago, a vote that will test whether the diamond-rich West African country can transfer power peacefully after years of conflict.
Vice President and ruling party candidate Solomon Bonere, 69,
is considered the front-runner. Saturday's victor must take more than 55 percent of the vote to avoid a run-off between the top two finishers.
The hope is that a peaceful vote will pave the way for development in a country where diamond wealth is difficult to see in fetid slums and dilapidated roads.

KU will not forward letters University warns students cited for illegal downloads
BY MAGGIE VANBUSKIRK
Jenny Mehmedovic, coordinator for information and technology policy and planning, said the
In late July, the Recording Industry Association of America sent 408 pre-litigation settlement letters to 23 universities. The University of Kansas notified individual students by mail if it received a complaint connected to a student's IP address. The University will not, however, forward students the RIAA pre-litigation letters, which will give students the opportunity to settle out of court.

The University is refusing to forward pre-litigation letters from the recording industry to its students on the grounds that doing so could be an invasion of student privacy.
provision of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, Internet service providers such as the University are not liable for customers' online activity if the provider immediately removes or disables a user's access to identified material in a copyright infringement complaint.
Mehmedovic said the University operated by an internal process of response when it received a complaint. It sends the appropriate user a letter from the University notifying them of the problem.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act does not obligate the University to forward the letters to students. It also will not release any identifying information without a court order or subpoena.
Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said the first responsibility of the University was to protect the privacy of its network users and notify users of the problem and the rules.
In past years, the University operated a three-strikes policy, in which students were allotted three warnings about their illegal activity before getting their Internet privileges revoked. This fall, the University is enacting a zero tolerance policy, in which students lose Internet access on the first notice of copyright infringement.
"My understanding is that the University's best practices viewpoint is to protect its students and show compliance to the rules but not to act as a legal agent," Cohen said.

Amulets protect superstitious Thai
BY AMBIKA AHUJA ASSOCIATED PRESS
BANGKOK, Thailand — They can cost a small fortune, resemble '80s disco jewelry, and are arguably un-Buddhist, but many Thais seeking psychic insurance in troubled times are snapping up so-called Jatukam Ramathep amulets, coin-shaped talismans with supposed magical powers.
The Jatukam amulets, coveted by millions of people in Thailand — and available on eBay for those living elsewhere — have become big business, as believers, collectors and speculators drive a farriving market. Rare ones reportedly command prices of more than $30,000.
The craze has led to at least one death as a mob stamped for a particular rare amulet.
"People turn to superstition when they feel that religion and other social as well as judicial systems are no longer providing them the security and justice they need," said respected archaeologist Srisak Vallibhotama. "It's a reflection of the kind of society we live in."
At least one well-known monk derides the fad.
Most amulet owners are fairly discreet, wearing them under shirts and blouses. Serious believers carry more than one and as many as a dozen, though such ostentatiousness is usually associated with policemen and criminals — who understandably seek all the protection they can get.
"I was in a number of car accidents before. Once I started putting these amulets in my taxis and around my neck, my car has been safe no matter how many hours I am on the road each day and how tired I am," said Surasak Mansee, a Bangkok taxi driver, who has three amulets draped on his rearview mirror and two more around his neck.
"I don't know what you think, but my wife has also won some lotteries and we are happier than
ever," he said.
Phra Payom Kalayano, the abbot of a temple in the Bangkok suburb of Nonthaburi, produced chocolate cookies that resembled the amulets and called them "Four bites." Stamped on them are four of the buddhas teachlings on how to become wealthy.
"I want to remind people that becoming rich is about discipline and hard work, not magical amulets," he said.

》 CONSTRUCTION
The building is designed to be a multi-purpose facility. It features a large glass facade that allows natural light to fill the interior, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The structure includes a spacious lobby with high ceilings and a central entrance that leads into the main floor. The building also has several open spaces on the ground floor, including a parking lot, a fitness center, and a community hall. The exterior walls are made of glass and steel, providing a sleek and modern appearance. The building is surrounded by rocky terrain, adding a natural element to its design.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO COURTESY OF KANSAS ATHLETICS
This projected design shows the rowing team's $6 million boathouse that will be built by the Kansas River. The Lawrence City Commission approved a measure that allowed for continued negotiations on boathouse plans. Construction on the boathouse has been paid for by students and Kansas Athletics Inc. There is no timeline for completion.
Boathouse plan progresses
New building to serve as training facility, boat storage
BY DYLAN SCHOOVER
dschooover@ekansan.com
The Kansas rowing team moved one step closer to its own facility July 17.
The Lawrence City Commission approved a measure that allowed city staff to continue negotiations with Kansas Athletics about the planned student-funded boathouse near the Kansas River. The boathouse is expected to cost nearly $6 million.
The new building will serve as a storage area for boats and will provide a locker room and a training facility for the 72-member team. University leaders promised to build the rowing team a boathouse when it began competing at varisity status in 1995.
Commissioner Mike Amyx said completing a new state-of-the-art building on the riverfront would enhance the park along the river.
"There is always safety issues by the river and at night it is dark along there," Amyx said. "The new
facility with the new lighting will bring a sense of safety and security to the area."
Construction on the new facility will be funded by a student fee referendum passed in the spring of 2006. Under the terms of the referendum, students will contribute $4 million to the project. That referendum also calls for Kansas Athletics Inc. to cover any additional construction costs.
Coach Rob Catloth said a boathouse would contribute to the team's success for years to come. Catloth said the new building will have a substantial impact on the women's rowing team as well as the Student Recreation and Fitness Center crew team.
"It will give a feeling of a home base," Catloth said. "It will serve as a point of team unity and certainly boost our recruiting abilities, which is an ease to running a program."
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said KAI expects to contribute about $1 million to the
project. He said that money would come from private fundraising.
Design plans show that the building has two stories, and has also been designed to handle potential flooding in accordance to FEMA's standards. The first floor will contain boat storage only.
Catloth said the new boathouse would hold 72 boats on its ground level with rowing machines and locker rooms allocated to the second level. The crew team will share the boathouse facilities with the women's varsity squads, Catloth said.
The next step for the project is for the University to receive approval to lease part of the park. It must also receive approval from the Planning Commission and eventually the city commission. The city commission did not release a date for these next steps. Approval is expected soon.

Weather delays expansion Rec center additions to be completed by May 2008
BY DYLAN SCHOONOVER
dschoonoverkansan.com
The $6.3 million additions to the north end of the Student Recreation Fitness Center will not be completed during the spring semester as originally planned.
The four new multi-purpose courts, expanded 2,000-square-foot free-weight area, and the two new racquetball courts will have to wait until late May 2008, after the semester has ended.
Mary Chappell, recreation services director, said the biggest deterrent of building was heavy rain this past spring and early summer. The increased cost of lumber materials because of Hurricane Katrina also contributed to the slower construction time.
The bid for lumber co.'s was placed before the hurricane struck.
"We are pulling all the pipes and wiring." Chappell said. "We are going to have to close some of the track area in certain places to begin plumbing and electrical."
That track area will be closed temporarily as it expands to stretch nearly a full quarter-mile around
all eight courts. The fitness area used for aerobics, yoga and martial arts also will be closed once the structural part of the new addition begins. Chappell said she hoped to close those areas only during holidays, when the recreation center would not be as busy. She said those areas would be closed at other times as well, but she said she hoped to keep closures to a minimum.
The recreation center construction will bring more to students than just extra space and equipment. Jason Krowe, director of sports programs, said that two of the four new multipurpose courts will be comprised of a synthetic, plastic material that will broaden the capabilities of intramural sports programs.
"Certainly the courts will be used for basketball, but a sport like indoor soccer is an underserved population here," Krone said. "Enclosed walls around the field allow us to look at expanding floor hoc'ey and adding indoor soccer and also possibly rocket hockey."
Krone said 80 teams played sight-on-eight outdoor soccer during the spring semester. He said
he hoped the new addition would allow scheduling for six-on-six indoor soccer during the winter.
Dane Hanson, Overland Park graduate student, said he would jump at the opportunity to play more soccer. He said last year he traveled to Kansas City at least once a week to play in an indoor soccer league when weather turned cold.
"I didn't even know they planned to put in a surface that soccer could be played on," Hanson said. "I think it's easier to injure yourself in indoor soccer, but I'd definitely be interested in playing."
Chappell said the new recreation center would accomplish the goal of cutting down on the wait time people experienced trying to get onto a court or machine. She said it was not uncommon to have to every basketball court filled, with teams of players lined up waiting to get into the next game.
"Functionality is huge," Chappell said. "We're excited there will be more space for more people and more activities."

ACCIDENT
Monster truck plows into crowd
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DEKALB, IL. — A monster truck performing stunts in front of an auto parts store plowed into a crowd of spectators Thursday, injuring at least nine people, officials said.
Two people, a mother and child, were in serious condition in Rockford hospitals, officials said.
Six others, including a mother and her four children, were treated and released, said Sharon Emanuelson, a spokeswoman for Kishwaukee Community Hospital in DeKalb. The other person injured was in good condition.
Another person refused medical treatment, said DeKalb Fire Chief Lanny Russell.
The demonstration, part of a monster truck tour sponsored by Napa Auto Parts, featured the truck
driving over and crushing four cars.
"After its third or fourth attempt of rolling over the cars, and getting back down to the street, it appeared to have lost control and at that point careened off to the left into part of the crowd that was watching the event," said City Manager Mark Biernack.
The truck driver did not appear to be injured. Biernacki said.

Kansas quarterbacks Kerry Meier, left, and Todd Reesing continue to battle for a starting position. Coach Mark Mangino made it clear during media day that Reesing had pulled ahead in the battle during fall practices.
Reesing in lead for starting position
Meier still strives for quarterback spot
atusco@kansan.com
BY ASHER FUSCO
For the first 20 minutes of Kansas football media day, the subject went untouched. After spending much of the spring attempting to gain insight into the quarterback position battle, it appeared the media had given up on trying to pry an answer from coach Mark Mangine.
A good portion of Mangino's half-hour press conference was spent discussing facilities and rule changes instead of Kerry Miller and Todd Reesing. When the ineitable question finally arose, the coach' answer was surprisingly illuminating.
from spring to two-a-days, Reesing has
probably advanced in his overall play a little bit more so than Meier has" Mangino said.
In the spring, Mangino repeatedly said the two quarterbacks were on even footing in the race for playing time. Mangino's media day comments made it clear that Reesing gained an early lead in the first few days of fall practices.
Despite Ruesing's head start, the competition is not over. Nearly three weeks remain until the Jayhawks' Sept. 1 season opener against Central Michigan. Mangino said he and the coaching staff had not yet come to a decision on a number one quarterback but hoped to settle on a starter soon.

It's been almost five months since KU players shuffled off the court at the HP Pavillion in San Jose. Back then, disappointment and uncertainty hung over the players, coaches and fans because of the team's loss to UCLA in the West Regional Final. Now, five months later, plenty has changed. The summer has been full of surprises and
disappointments.
KANSAS 00
Here's a quick guide to what happened with Kansas basketball during the past three months:
PHOTOS ARE KANSAN FILE PHOTOS
Are any of these guys healthy?
"I was pretty upset when I first heard,"said Arthur, a sophomore forward. "I really wanted to travel with this team. I have never been overseas, and I put in some good work."
Darrell Arthur should have been in Serbia, sightseeing and playing basketball with some of the best college players from around the country. Instead, he spent July nursing a stress fracture.
Arthur started feeling pain in early July after being selected for the USA U-19 team. Since then he's been receiving treatment and mainly resting. His injury is not nearly as serious as Brandon Rush's.
"If this had to happen," said Kansas coach Bill Self. "It was good it happened now because we expect him to be at full speed before the start of school."

Arthur wasn't the only Jayhawk who dabbled with USA basketball this summer. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins and junior guard Mario Chalmers were among 30 players invited to the USA Basketball Men's Pan American Team Trials.

Neither player made the team, but they competed against stars such as Villanova's Scottie Reynolds, Michigan State's Drew Neitzel and Indiana's D.J. White. The experience should help both improve for the upcoming season.

They watch recruits from New Jersey all the way to Las Vegas. Self wouldn't have a shot at top high school players if he or an assistant didn't show up to watch at these tournaments and camps.

staff's recruiting has paid off. Travis Releford, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Bishop Miege
High School in Roeland Park, already made a verbal commitment to attend Kansas next fall. He's ranked as the 72nd best prospect in his class according to Rivals.com.
Self is not allowed to comment about Releford or any other player he's recruiting for the class of 2008, but these players have received offers from Kansas and are interested in the school, according to Scout.com: Greg Monroe, the consensus Scout. 1 prospect, Willie Warren, a shooting guard from Keith Langford's high school, J'Mison Morgan, a big man from Dallas, and Terrance Henry, a power forward.
Kansas fans' favorite ACL injury
Funny how one leap can produce so many changes.
Junior guard Brandon Rush leapt for a dunk in late May like he's done hundreds of times since his early teens. But this jump didn't feel right. Rush landed wrong and felt a pain in his knee. At first, he thought it was nothing.
"I didn't know it was that serious," he said in a press release, "because as soon as it happened I popped right back up and started walking on it."
But it was serious. Serious enough to force Rush to withdraw from the NBA draft because of an ACL tear. That leap put Rush's pro career on hold and immediately catapulted Kansas back into the national title talk.
For Kansas to live up to its potential though, Rush must be healthy. His daily regimen includes rehab for two hours every morning, followed by an hour of lifting weights and biking and more rehab in the afternoon. He'll be able to run in about nine weeks. Doctors have told Rush he should be ready to play December 1, although it could be as early as November or as late as January

"My teammates help me out a lot, and I'm just keeping a great attitude about it. These things happen for a reason, that's what my grandma always told me."

PARIS — Lance Armstrong's former team is disbanding.
Discovery Channel said Friday it will cease operations at the end of this season because it has been unable to find a new sponsor. Doping scandals have left cycling reeling and made sponsors jittery.
"I do not think you have seen the last of this organization in the sport," Armstrong, the seven-time Tour de France champion and co-owner of the team, said in a statement. "But clearly things need to improve on many levels, with a more unified front, before you would see us venture back into cycling."

Julian Wright did slide in the draft — but only a little bit. The New Orleans Hornets selected Wright, who was originally projected in the top seven, 14th in June's NBA Draft. In Summer League games, Wright played just like he did at Kansas. He showed flashes of excellence but couldn't develop consistency.

Jayhawks in the NBA
Former Jayhawks calore played in the NBA Summer League: Keith Langford with the San Antonio Spurs, Billy Thomas with the Milwaukee Bucks, Aaron Miles with the Washington Wizards and Jeff Graves with Lakers. Miles recently signed with Cajasol Seville in Spain.
Also, Jacque Vaughn won an
NBA title in June with the Spurs and will be back with the team next year. Scott Pollard, who spent last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, signed a one-year deal with the Celtics, where he'll join former Jayhawk Paul Pierce.

QUARTERBACKS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"I would imagine that before the first game they will make a decision so whoever is starting would know," Reesing said. "Whenever they're ready to make a decision, they're ready. It's kind of out of my hands."
Meier, a sophomore, began last season as the starter. He was
fairly successful in the first three games but missed the next three because of injury. He started five of the team's final six games but his tendency to scramble outside of the pocket made him vulnerable and he
suffered several more injuries
"I don't have a preference. These quarterbacks all have the skills they need and I'm not worried about any of them at all."

Reeing, also a sophomore, saw the first action of his career in a late-season 2006 game against Colorado. He replaced an ineffective Adam Barmann at halftime and led the Jayhawks to a comeback victory with 105 passing yards and 90 rushing yards.

The competition between the two is heated but healthy. Meier and Reesing are close friends and share an apartment. Both quarterbacks said that although they had great respect for one another, winning the starting job was their first priority. Meier said he thought he possessed an edge in game experience, and Reesing said his own qualities as a leader and playmaker qualified him for the spot.
Though the quarterback controversy might seem detrimental
to a team hoping to contend in the Big 12 North, many of the Jayhawks see it as a good thing. Throughout the spring, Mangino said that having two capable quarterbacks was a good problem. Junior cornerback Aqib Talib, one of the defenders who attempt to stop Reesing and Meier every day in practice, said both contenders had played well.
"You couldn't even tell the difference if you didn't look back there to see," Talib said. "They both know the offense, they're both throwing the ball good, and they're both leading the offense."
The players most directly affected by the competition could be the ones catching passes from Meier or Reesing. But senior tight end and team captain Derek Fine said either quarterback would have his vote of confidence.
"I don't have a preference," Fine said. "These quarterbacks all have the skills they need and I'm not worried about any of them at all."
With precious few practices remaining before the 2007 season begins, time is drawing thin and the Kansas coaching staff will soon need to settle on a quarterback. Between now and the start of September, the situation could change. But for the first time in months, there is a frontrunner in the Kansas quarterback battle: Todd Reesing.

Bonds' record induces skepticism and yawns
GIANTS ROAD TO HISTORY
BY JOCELYN NOVECK ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — We all know President Bush is an early-to-bed kinda guy. Still, there was something particularly apt about his spokesman's revelation that at 11:51 p.m. Eastern, when Barry Bonds broke the hallowed home run record, the president was likely asleep.
Barry Bonds' record-breaking 756th home run generated little media buzz compared to Hank Aaron's record in 1974. The cloud of suspicion of steroid use may have contributed to the lack of excitement, but experts also blame the media that competes for Americans' attention.
Clearly, many people experienced a similar lack of engagement with this landmark event, whether they were actually asleep, or just metaphorically so.
The initial reason is obvious: the cloud of suspicion of steroid use that has long overed over Bonds on his march to home run No. 756. But could it be more than that?
In 1974, when Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's record, the way we consumed our news, our sports, our popular culture was radically different. There was no TiVo, no DVRs, no 24-hour cable, no Web video to catch up with the next morning. You wanted to see the game? You watched it live.
theory would have it. Thus, a seminal moment like the felling of a huge sports record would be just another event amid all the noise, competing for attention.
Hogwash, says a huge baseball fan, author W.P. Kinsella, whose novel "Shoeless Joe" became the movie "Field of Dreams." Kinsella watches baseball on TV almost every night. And yet on Wednesday, after conversing with a reporter for 10 minutes about sports and culture and life, he asked, in all seriousness, "Oh, did Bonds break the record last night?"
These days, there's so much out there competing for our eyeballs — some call it cultural fragmentation — that perhaps were less able as a nation to share a communal experience. At least, that's how one
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Turns out the author had been watching a British detective show, so much disdain does he harbor for Bonds, whom he calls a "cheat, a jerk, and a nasty person who shouldn't get credit for anything." He said Bonds himself was the only reason the country has not been energized and inspired by the record — the ultimate achievement, after all, in a game that means so much to so many.
"Ten years from now, it'll be a really big deal when A-Rod breaks the record," Kinsella said. "If it were A-Rod right now, people would be ecstatic."
game received a 1.1 cable rating, which translates to 995,000 households. When Aaron hit his 715th home run, NBC's broadcast received a 22.3 rating, the equivalent of 14.9 million homes. Back in Aaron's day, there were only a fraction of the TV channels, and baseball as a sport had far less competition.
But media analyst Marty Kaplan said a communal sense of ecstacy — or other emotions, such as shock and horror — was still very possible today, despite the fragmentation over the last few decades.
Supporting the fragmentation theory — at least in part — is the fact that Aaron still holds the record when it comes to television ratings. ESPN2's broadcast of Tuesday's
"The evidence is that when a win or a victory is regarded as legitimate, people are thrilled to share the excitement — in the moment, or afterward," said Kaplan, of the University of Southern California. "Look at the Red Sox World Series win — it was a national phenomenon."
The reaction to Bonds, Kaplan said, "is all about our ambivalence. It's hard to be thrilled by something whose authenticity is in doubt."
Media coverage of Bonds' run all along has focused on that doubt. When he finally broke the record, the New York Post took its usual no-holds-barred approach: On the cover, it illustrated the number 756 with a bunch of medical syringes. The rival Daily News, by contrast, had a tamer "King of Shame" headline.
In The New York Times, however, columnist George Vecsey argued for Bonds to get his due. "Nobody — and
"You cheer Bonds if you want to," wrote Daily News columnist Mike Lupica. "You believe he is something more than the lyn' king of home runs. Not me."
certainly not some chemist in a white smock — swung the bat for Bonds against objects moving 80 or 90 or 100 miles an hour," Vescey wrote.
Many point to Bonds' personality as a reason for apathy.
tion of being surly, angry, and media-hostile," said Marc Ganis, president of Sportscorp Ltd., a Chicago-based sports consulting firm. "That has as much to do with the resounding thud that's greeted this record as the steroid accusations. Personality counts."

Lack of position could cripple Julian's career
Analysts, commentators use terms such as 'tremendous upside potential,''wing span'
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
The newest version of the dictionary includes words such as "crunk" and "ginormous". Strange? Yes. But NBA-types speak a language twice as exotic. Scouts, executives, GM's, broadcasters, janitors and popcorn guys all use some of the strangest, most nonsensical terms you will ever hear.
"Tremendous upside potential," "physical specimen" and "wingspan" are just a few examples.
Use of them reaches a crescendo during the summer. They come out of the mouths of draft analysts and summer league
commentators as often as Paris Hilton similes come from the pens of journalists.
Julian Wright is the perfect example of a tweener. And odds are, that status is going to limit him in his NBA career.
It can be overwhelming for those familiar only with college ball. That's why I will make it simple — the only term Kansas fans really need to know is this: "twener."
Julian Wright, who was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets 14th in June's NBA draft, is the perfect example of a tweener. And odds are, that status is going to limit him in his NBA career.
If you don't know, a tweener is a player who doesn't have a position. Several factors can cause tweenerism: height, ball-handling ability (or lack thereof), strength, etc.
Being a tweener isn't necessarily a bad thing. All kinds of tweeners have been successful in the NBA. Washington's Antawn Jamison is one.
At 6-foot-9 and 235 pounds, he's not a prototypical power forward. He doesn't have the game of a small forward either. Still, Jamison has skillful post moves to make up for his lack of size in the paint, and he's improved his outside shot — he shoots abo
- he shoots about
40 percent from three-point land — enough to average 19.4 points per game during his nine-year career.
But more often than not, being a tweener is a bad thing. Final Four hero Ed O'Bannon of UCLA is the
poster child of these never-weres.
He averaged about five points a game during three NBA seasons before being cut. At 6-foot-8 and 222 pounds, he could never adjust to life on the wing.
O'Bannon is eerily similar to Wright. Wright is 6-foot-10 and 225 pounds. That means he's too small to play in the post like he did at KU and will likely struggle as O'Bannon did.
Wright's shortcomings are obvious. He doesn't have a good enough outside shot to be a threat on the perimeter. He struggles guarding smaller, quicker players. And let's face it, Wright handles the ball like he has flippers. Every time he
dribbled it during a fast break last season you were more frightened than the American public when it found out Rosie O'Donnell was a candidate to host "The Price is Right."
So why did he get drafted in the letters?
Like most other tweeners, Wright is an athletic "physical specimen" with a long "wingspan" and "tremendous upside potential." He could develop into a special player. Could.
The conditions have to be just right for a tweener to succeed. Jamison needed two years before he really found his niche. The Detroit Pistons' Chauncey Billups, who many viewed as a shooting guard in a point guard's body, didn't find success until he landed with the perfect team, the Detroit Pistons.
During summer league sessions, Wright played exactly like what he is — a classic inconsistent tweener. One game he scored 14 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out four assists. That came one night after he didn't make a field goal. It's obvious that Wright is going to be a work in progress for at least a couple of seasons. Nobody knows how he'll do in the NBA. Nobody.
The only certainty about his future is this: He'll always be a tweener. It's up to Wright to find a way to contribute in this league and turn into an Antawn instead of an O'Bannon.

Jayhawk linebackers Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen are featured together in defensive packages this season. The new packages showcase Rivera and Mortensen's talent as middle linebacker. Last season the team's 4-3 defense only utilized one middle linebacker.

Defensive schemes use two top linebackers
This past spring, Kansas football faced a problem: It had too much of a good thing.
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
This good thing was the play of junior linebackers Joe Mortensen and Mike Rivera. Though each linebacker showed the talent to flourish as a starter, coach Mark Mangino and his staff had trouble finding room on the field for both players.
Mortensen and Rivera are both prototypical middle linebacker. At 235 and 255 pounds, respectively, each packs enough weight to effectively shed blockers and track down running backs. Unfortunately for Kansas, the team's 4-3 defensive scheme calls for only one middle linebacker. Last season, the coaching staff left Rivera in the middle and plugged Mortensen in on the outside. Mortensen was less suited for this role and had difficulty covering quicker receivers.
"Last year we had Joe Mortensen out playing in space, and that's not his forte," Mangino said. "He's a player who needs to be inside the box."
Last spring, Mortensen moved to linebacker and played well enough to carr a start in the spring game. This left Rivera, one of the team's most talented players, on the bench.
The easy answer to the jayhawks' problem? More packages.
At an open practice held earlier this month, the Kansas defense looked like a machine full of cogs and gears. After every play, coaches shouted the name of a particular package and players hustled on and off the field in a hurry. Mortensen said defensive packages such as "bandit" and "base two" would allow the Jayhawks to swap personnel on the fly and better adjust to offenses.
"I don't even know if I know how many schemes we have." Mortensen said. "But we have a lot. We're just rotating around and trying to show offenses some different stuff."
In early fall practices, Kansas' base defense featured Rivera playing outside linebacker alongside Mortensen in the middle with junior James Holt at the other outside position. The move illustrated the confidence of the coaching staff in regard to Mortensen and Rivera.
"With the way those guys have developed we're always just trying to mix and match to find where they fit best," Mangino said. "And I think Mike Rivera may have found a comfort zone."
Rivera said his comfort zone was anywhere on the football field. He stood out last season at middle linebacker, earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention recognition; and has played well in the early going this fall. Rivera made several big tackles in an early-August practice and looked quick enough to fall back into pass coverage.
"Wherever they put me, I'm going to play hard," Rivera said. "My role is going wherever they need me and getting the job done."
Although the Jayhawks are just a few days into fall practices, Mortensen he and Rivera had picked up their new positions fairly well.
"We've been playing really good and hard," Mortensen said. "We've just been whoopin' up on the offense."

Kansas athletics flounders
School needs national championship to regain prestige
Sit back and let it soak in. We live in a world where Oregon State can win back-to-back College World Series and Florida is a budding basketball dynasty. Boise State can win the Fiesta Bowl and George Mason can make it to the Final Four. And the one thing I thought I would never say: Rutgers football, national title contender, baby.

KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
RDDOD@KANSAN.COM
It's a new era. Parity, rules and tradition are rendered meaningless
What does it all mean? First off, University of Kansas fans need to look in the mirror. You might not like what you see. Our identity as a school and a student population are hanging in the balance.
Why all the Kansas bashing? We have solid academics, and we're a top 10 party school. What gives?
We're focused on other things at Kansas. Namely, being named in Playboy's list of top 10 party schools. Let the record show that Kansas students are very good at this.
It goes without saying that between the ages of 18 and 22, your status in life is directly related to your university. Well, maybe not totally, but this is college, and reputations are important. Raise your hand if you haven't secretly measured yourself up against an old high school buddy at a different college. That's what I thought.
It's sad to say, but right now KU students have their reputations at stake. Let's break it down. Kansas is one of the finer academic institutions in the Midwest, but it doesn't matter how many times Kansas is referred to as "Harvard on the Kaw," we're still not lvy-league. That's okay, though. We're focused on other things at Kansas. Namely, being named in Playboy's list of top 10 party schools. Let the record show that Kansas students are very good at this. Kansas was ranked ninth in Playboy's 2002 list of best party schools.
Yes, but the one trump card that separates Kansas from all the other cool-college wannabes is slowly fading away. Yes, I'm talking about athletics. The cornerstone of Kansas is slowly eroding
I know what you are thinking.

How many times have you heard this conversation?
KU Fan 1: "What's up with Baylor?"
KU Fan 2: "Yeah, why are they
even in the Big 12? Let's kick them out and add Arkansas."
Well, I hate to break it to KU phans, but in the past 15 years, tiny Baylor has won more national titles than athletic juggernaut Kansas.
lost to the Ladybugs. Alright, I made that last one up, but the point is, KU sports have lost their luster.
Did you know in 1993, Kansas teams went to the Final Four, College World Series, and played in a bowl game? Now those are accomplishments a college student can brag about.
The women's soccer team has slowly been molded into a power under the guidance of coach Mark Francis. They need to step up this year.
The football team has the best cornerback in the nation in Aqib Talib. It also has a favorable schedule and a coach with something to prove. They need to break out.
Now the good news. As bad as things are around here, they are worse at Kansas State and Missouri. But things must get better. Kansas must become relevant again on the national scene. There is a glimmer of hope. Bonnie Henrickson has been making major strides with the women's basketball team. The team returns five strong sophomores who played major minutes as freshmen.
What happened? Just last year, the KU football team lost to Toledo, KU basketball and baseball lost to Oral Roberts, KU women's basketball lost to South Dakota State and our women's soccer队
Did you know in 1993, Kansas teams went to the Final Four College World Series,and played in a bowl game? Now those are accomplishments a college student can brag about.
But really, it all comes back to men's basketball. The school needs a national title. No, scratch that.
People are craving for a championship. I mean people are actually foaming at the
mouth. Please Bill Self. Make us relevant again. Put Kansas back on the map. Most of all, give us something to brag about.

Team anticipates first game Injuries,young players force new team identity,dynamic
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
Injuries have already started to take their toll on the Jayhawks. Two players projected to crack the defensive starting lineup are sidelined. Junior defensive tackle Todd Haselhorst suffered an injury during summer workouts, but Mangino said he should be healthy for the Sept.1 season opener. Junior cornerback Kendrick Harper could be out for the next four to six weeks with an injury he sustained on the first day of fall practices. Harper is tentatively scheduled to make his return to the field by the time Big 12 Conference play begins in early October. Mangino did not go into detail on the nature of the injuries.
At times during the first open practice of the fall the offensive line looked shaky. After the loss of three starters from last year's dependable unit, experienced juniors Ryan Cantrell and Chet Hartley should be able to fill in at center and right guard. But the most important piece of the offensive line could be junior guard Adrian Mayes, who has seen action in only one collegiate game.
appeared. He overmatched in 11-on-11 drills earlier this month. At media day, junior tackle Anthony Collins said the team was not concerned about the turnover on the offensive line. "We're more athletic, we're more skilled, and we're bigger. We're better than last year," Collins said.
Mangino said he was pleased with early returns from a few true freshmen. Mangino said freshman wide receivers Dezmon Briscoe and Jonathan Wilson and running back Carmon Boyd-Anderson could see playing time. On defense, cornerback Chris Harris, defensive tackle Richard Johnson Jr. and defensive end Jake Laptad all made favorable impressions in the first several practices. Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said the addition of Briscoe and Wilson would give the wide receiving corps much-needed depth.
After nearly every play of the open practice, defensive coaches shouted terms like "bandit", "base one" and "base two". Every command was followed by players hustling around and swapping positions. "We've been jumping around
a lot," Mangino said. "We're just utilizing different packages to play to the strengths of our linebackers."
Mangino said the team was using nearly all of its allotted three hours of practice time every day. The team's open practice lasted about two and a half hours and was followed by a short conditioning session. The start of practice was comfortable, but temperatures were rising quickly. "I'm not going to lie — it's getting pretty hot out here," said senior tight end Derek Fine. "But it's just a part of football. You kind of come to expect it"
A new NCAA rule could result in more inturies and more excitement. This season, kickoffs are being moved from the 35-yard line to the 30-yard line. The five-yard shift will cut down on the number of touchbacks and add more kick return opportunities. Though the rule change could benefit Kansas and its solid kick returners, Mangino said he was not looking forward to the adjustment because of the additional collisions that could take place.

Kanaan pulls ahead late for victory
BY WILL GRAVES ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPARTA, Ky. — Tony Kanaan kept his outside shot at an IndyCar Series title alive Saturday night, blistering the field to win the Meijer Indy 300 at Kentucky Speedway.
Kanaan roared by A.J. Foyt IV with less than 10 laps to go for his second straight victory, his fourth win of the year and first-ever by an Andretti Green Racing driver at the 1.5-mile tri-oval.
Kanaan overpowered the weekend, taking the pole on Friday and leaving little doubt about his car's dominance in the twilight. He beat Scott Dixon by 1.745 seconds to become the second polesitter to win in the race's eight-year history.

Series leader Dario Franchitti ran with his Andretti teammate for much of the race before a couple of bizarre incidents dropped him to eighth. He was battling for second with Dixon when he swung out too high and fell to sixth, then lost a couple more spots when he clipped a flag entering pit road, damaging the nose of his car.

Things only got worse after the race, as Franchitti once again went airborne a week after a harrowing crash in Michigan.
Moments after the checkered flag waved, Franchitti rode up the back of Kosuke Matsura's car and flipped. The car pirouetted on its nose and landed against the outside wall in the first turn.

New faces bring talent to team
8 freshmen among 10 players joining roster for 2007 season
BY ALISON CUMBOW
acumbow@kansan.com
Fans might not recognize many of the faces on the pitch for the Kansas soccer team's home opener Sept. 6 against Brigham Young University. The team welcomes 10 new players onto the roster and hopes not to skip a beat coming off an 11-7-1 record last year.
Eight are freshmen, some of whom have played together before, and the rest are transfer students.
Senior back-center Afton Sauer hopes to provide some stability to a team whose identity is in transit.
Known by her teammates for her love for Britney Spears, Sauer wants to go out with a bang during her last semester competing for the Jayhawks.
Seniors aren't permitted to play in the spring season, so the stakes are high for the team to learn how
to play together quickly.
"We're going to go game by game. We have more trust as a team this year, and more confidence. We're going to do much better than last year, and make it to the tournaments," said Sauer.
Sauer is excited about her new team-mates.
"We've had the recruits here for unofficial visits and official visits, so we've gotten to know them really well. The
Nicole Cauzillo, a mid-center senior from Ann Arbor, Mich., also started out her summer playing
lifting. Many girls played on other teams for the summer months, which is what I did," Sauer said.
"We're going to go game by game. We have more trust as a team this year, and more confidence."
team chemistry is great," she said.
Many players used the summer to get a head start on their fitness.
"Some have stayed in Lawrence and others have gone home. Everyone has been running and
for a semi-pro team.
AFTON SAUER senior back-center
After tearing her thumb muscle, she turned to the next best thing: coaching youth teams.
"I made sure to touch the ball every day, and I got a lot of lifting in anyway," she said.
Cauzillo expressed high hopes for the upcoming season.
"The team works really well together, and we were all together last season, so I hope we can continue to do well. The new players
will also add a lot to our game"
she said.
This will be coach Mark Francis' ninth season at KU. He is upbeat about the prospects for the season.
"We have the best talent we have ever had this season. These are the girls that won the Big 12 Tournament and the Sweet 16 Tournament," he said.
Francis said the team progressed well last spring.
"We need to carry that improvement over, and add the mix of the new players. All we need is the right unity, the right work ethic, the right mentality, and with the talent that is definitely there, we will have a great season," he said.
The jayhawks play two games in Honolulu on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 before flying back to the mainland to host Brigham Young.
Edited by Amelia Freidline
Brown has been a starter since she arrived on campus, but this season she has to assume the leadership role and be the key player in each match. She is also the most versatile player on the team, which in turn helps setter redshirt sophomore Katie Martinicch be more effective.
VOLLEYBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Martincich broke the school record last year for assists by a freshman. She will have to avoid the sophomore slump and produce the same numbers for the team to even have a shot at post-season play.
After being selected the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year in 2006, senior transfer Natalie Uhart is going to make a big impact assuming she fully recovers from a knee injury. If she can stay healthy, she is going to be the biggest addition to the KU volleyball squad.
Junior Savannah Noyes was the biggest surprise for the team last year, in terms of performance. She learned her role, improved every single game, and became one of the top three hitters for the Jayhawks. This year she is going to have to
step it up another notch and use her 6-foot-3-inch body to dominate the middle once again.
Sophomore middle blocker Brittany Williams is the most experienced player in her class and will have to improve her number of kills and blocks per game in order for the team to increase its number of wins.
With only four upperclassmen this year on the volleyball team the sophomores and freshmen are going to have to step up and find their rightful places on the team. Four players make up this year's freshmen class, Melissa Manda, Melissa Townsend, Jenna Kaiser and Karina Garlington. They could see some significant playing time if they can show that they belong here in the first few matches of the year.
After a sub-par season last year, this year's squad is going to improve on its record from last year and return to the NCAA tournament.

Women have productive summer, look forward to new season
BY ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
Despite the loss of Amanda Costner, this past season's Big 12 individual champion and Big 12 Female Sportsperson of the Year, the Kansas women's golf team has used a productive summer to continue building on the improvement shown by last year's squad.
Sophomore Meghan Gockel competed alongside Costner in the U.S. Women's Golf Amateur. Although she did not qualify for group play, Gockel said playing
with some of the best players in the country was an incredible opportunity and would provide valuable experience for the upcoming season.
"I'm just going to come back with that much more experience after playing in a tournament like this," Gockel said. "Being able to compete against the best amateur players in the country was a great experience. It shows me where I need to continue to improve to compete with them."
Gockel is not the only Kansas woman competing in a variety of events this summer. Senior Annie
Giangrosso and sophomore Emily Powers competed in the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship. Giangrosso narrowly missed out on advancing to match play while Powers advanced to the second round before being eliminated.
Sophomores Sydney Wilson and Alyssa Rainbolt were also busy competing in the Kansas Women's Golf Amateur Championship. Wilson finished fifth and Rainbolt ninth, continuing the success of Kansas golfers at the event after Giangrosso won the previous year's championship.
Coach Erin O'Neil said the experience her team had gained competing against top competition during the summer would prove invaluable as the season progresses.
"It helps them improve their game through competition," O'Neil said. "It just makes them that much stronger when they come back in the fall to compete for Kansas. They learn a lot, and it's good for them to play different courses and top players."
Although the team lost a record-setting performer in Costner, O'Neil said her team could continue to improve. Although the
team will be young, with eight of eleven players being either sophomores or freshmen, O'Neil said the team would look to Costner's example to build on last season's performances.
"Amanda has left some big shoes to fill, but at the same time she helped set a higher standard for us, and I think it's kind of an inspiration for the other girls," she said. "We will miss her but at the same time I think we will be able to learn from her and continue to build on that."
The team will begin competition by traveling to Lincoln, Neb., on Sept. 10 and 11 to compete in the
Chip-N-Club Invitational. They will follow that by competing in the Ron Moore Intercollegiate the following weekend in Denver.
Despite the team's youth and the loss of Costner, O'Neil said, they would look to improve and build for the future.
"My main goal is to take it one day at a time, give it our best each day and see where the chips fall at the end of the year," O'Neil said. "We want to just try and learn as must as we can from each day we are out there."

Texas early favorite to win Big 12 title
Tigers' hopes for title in North Division to rely on success of experienced offense
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
University of Missouri fans and alumni flooded phone lines of sports radio shows all summer expressing their confidence in the 2007 Tigers.
They believe the Tigers are the team to beat in the Big 12 North and hope they will be making their first appearance in the Big 12 Championship Game. A loaded returning offense is the reason for MU fan's optimism.
ROOS
L. G. Patterson/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel laughs as he participates in drills during the team's first football practice of the season Saturday, Aug. 4, on the Missouri practice fields in Columbia, Mo. Missouri starts the season with great expectations for its high-powered offense.
OFFENSE
The Tigers will benefit from the services of the Big 12's leading returning rusher. Non-senior Tony Temple's, 1,063 rushing yards were second only to Jon Cornish's total at the end of last season. Missouri's quarterback situation is also a strong spot. Junior Chase Daniel threw for more than 3,500 yards and 28 touchdowns last season. Daniel will have a plethora of targets to choose from in 2007. Senior William Franklin is one of the conference's most dangerous deep threats and averaged 17.3 yards per catch in 2006. Franklin is complemented by two of the nation's best tight ends. Senior Martin Rucker and junior Chase Coffman each made an All-Big 12 team last year. The offensive line is the only area of concern. The Tigers lost two starters from last year's team including a first-team All-Big 12 guard. A few underclassmen will be expected to play an important role on the line this year. Four-year starting center Adam Spieker should help ease the freshmen and sophomores transition.
DEFENSE
Mizzou's defense isn't as heralded as the offense. It returns only five starters, but most of the new starters gained some experience as backups last year. The Tiger's pass defense ranked third in the Big 12 last year with starting cornerbacks Darnell Terrell and Hardy Ricks. The senior Terrell the sophomore Ricks this year and should be a nuisance to
opposing receivers. Junior middle linebacker Brock Christopher is Mizzou's leading returning tackler. Christopher is the primary run stopper in the Tiger's 4-3 defense. Junior defensive tackle Evander Hood returns from a broken foot that ruined his sophomore campaign. Hood is a magnificent pass rusher when healthy. The Tiger's most highly touted recruit, Michael Keck, will contribute immediately, Keck, an outside linebacker, was a Parade All-American as a senior at Missouri's Harrisonville High School.
SEASON OUTLOOK
The Tigers got off to an incredible 6-0 start last year and had some contemplating an undefeated season. Mizzou then dropped five of its last seven, including a final-second loss to Oregon State in the Sun Bowl. Head coach Gary Pinkel hopes a more experienced 2007 squad will avoid a repeat collapse. Their non-conference schedule is a bit tougher, with a game against Illinois at a neutral site and a trip to Mississippi in the first two weeks of the season. The Tigers' key match-ups will come in the first two weekends of October when they take on Nebraska at home and Oklahoma on the road, respectively. A victory against Nebraska, Oklahoma or both would certainly give Missouri an inside track to the Big 12 North championship.

Underclassmen will determine fate of conference after disappointing season
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
The 2006 college football season was one that Big 12 faithful would like to soon forget.
The conference wasn't in its finest hour. Big 12 schools went 3-5 in bowl games, were 3-8 in nonconference match-ups against BCS conference teams, and only two teams finished in the final Top 25 poll.
An influx of young talent at skill positions and four teams ranked in the USA Today preseason poll make 2007 look like a more promising season for the conference. The Big 12 and its teams have an opportunity to leave the memory of an unsuccessful season behind with a strong showing this year.
KANSAS STATE
The Wildcats success will largely depend upon the continued maturation of sophomore quarterback Josh Freeman. Freeman was the National Player of the
Week following a four touchdown performance in KSU's upset versus
C
Texas last year. His encore the next week, however, included no touchdowns and three interceptions against Kansas. But Freeman will have help if his inconsistency continues. The Wildcats leading rusher Leon Patton returns with an experienced offensive line. Former walk-on turned All-Big 12 defensive end Ian Campbell leads a defense with seven returning starters. The non-conference schedule is tough with trips to Auburn and Fresno State and a face-off with San Jose State in Manhattan. Kansas State should still have a chance to at least wind up in the Houston Bowl or Independence Bowl at season's end.
COLORADO
Colorado's abysmal2-10 record last year was its worst since 1984. Head coach Dan Hawkins hopes a more experienced group will direct the program back to
prominence this season. The offense returns nine starters, including
GUJ
senior speedster Hugh Charles at running back. A deep receiving corps accompanies Charles. The Buffalooes didn't lose anyone who caught a pass last season. Jordon Dizon is one of the Big 12's best linebackers and will haunt opposing running backs. Senior Terrence Wheatley is a four-year starter at cornerback. Wheatley was second in interceptions in the Big 12 last year and will lead an unproven secondary. Colorado will compete with Kansas, Kansas State, and Iowa State to avoid the bottom of the Big 12 North standings. A bowl game is not completely out of the question but looks to still be a year away.
NEBRASKA
Hopes are elevated in Lincoln after last year's Big 12 North title. The Cornhuskers will count on senior transfer quarterback Sam Keller to lead them back
N
to the Big 12 Championship Game. Keller will have to quickly adjust to coach Bill Callahan's
offense to be as productive as last year's starter, Zac Taylor, who won the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year award. Running backs Marlon Lucky and Cody Glenn combined to average 5.2 yards per carry last season and will split carries once again. Senior linebacker Bo Ruud is a candidate to win this year's Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Award. Ruud's counterpart, senior middle linebacker Corey
McKeon, is a fierce run-stopper. Nebraska would like to land in a BCS bowl this year but a berth in the Cotton Bowl or Holiday Bowl is more likely.
IOWA STATE
The Cyclones have a new head coach for the first time in 12 years. Gene Chizik was the defensive coordinator at Auburn during its undefeated season in 2003
and held the same position at Texas during its national championship in 2005. Zishik hopes to instill
Iowa StotfE
RACING
the same kind of defensive prowess in Ames, Iowa. Senior linebacker Alvin Bowen can help Chizik achieve this goal. Bowen led the nation with 12.9 tackles per game last season. Chizik has a proven leader on the other side of the ball as well. Senior quarterback Bret Meyer will be the starter for the fourth consecutive season. Meyer must utilize his experience as the offense returns only three other starters. Iowa State is unlucky in that it finds both Texas and Oklahoma on its schedule this year. Chizik's best-case scenario for this season is to get the Cyclones back to .500.
TEXAS
Sophomore quarterback Colt McCoy was putting up Heisman like numbers in his freshman season before getting injured early in the Kansas State game.
McCoy is expected to be the Big 12's best quarterback and is the preseason Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. Add in running back Jamaal Charles and wide receiver Limas Sweed and the Longhorns have one of the best trios in the nation. Junior Rashad Bobino and seniors Robert Killebrew and Scott Derby will be the starting linebackers for the second straight year and will be one of the country's finest units. Strong safety Marcus Griffin is a hard hitter in the middle of the field and will be the heart of the defense. A legitimate Heisman candidate, battle-tested skill players, and a dominating defense make Texas a threat to return to the National Championship.
OKLAHOMA
To beat Oklahoma, teams are going to have to run the ball. OU ranked first in pass defense last year in the Big 12 and return the entire starting secondary.
Safeties Reggie Smith and Nic Harris are both juniors who combined for 109 tackles and seven interceptions last season. The defensive line and linebackers are less experienced but stacked with former highly recruited players. Freshman running back DeMarco Murray is the most buzzed about player in Norman since Adrian Peterson. Even if Murray struggles in his first year, senior Allen Patrick is ready to carry the load, much like he did last year when Peterson was injured. The quarterback spot is a concern as none of the three options have any real experience. The Sooners have an opportunity to win the Big 12 South and as usual an October showdown with Texas will likely determine that.

senior wide
receiver Adarius Bowman's incredible hands are going to make for a season's worth of memorable plays. OSU lost three quality offensive linemen but will reload with younger talent.

Fortunately for the Cowboys, the offense should put enough points to compensate for a weak defense. OSU will get a test the first week of the season when it travels to Georgia. The Cowboys should end up in the Holiday Bowl or Sun Bowl with another solid season.

nightmares. Junior quarterback Stephen McGee will start once again. McGee showed he is an efficient passer last year by completing 62 percent of his passes while throwing only two interceptions. The defense has more question marks, but also has a clear star. Senior defensive end Chris Harrington is the Aggie's only preseason All-Big 12 defensive player. Harrington is effective at both stuffing the run and pressuring the quarterback. Texas A&M's best-case scenario is probably ending up in the Cotton Bowl unless they can upset Oklahoma and Texas.
TEXAS TECH
Red Raider quarterbacks have thrown for more than 4,000 yards in each of the past five seasons. Junior Graham Harrell is expected to make it six this year. Harrell
is going to have to do it with a brand new offensive line. Junior left tackle Louis Vazquez is the only remaining piece from a
T
unit that allowed only 19 sacks last season. Senior wide receiver Danny Amendola is Harrell's favorite returning target and has drawn favorable comparisons to Tech's all-time receiving leader, Wes Welker. The Red Raiders were ninth in Big 12 defense last year. They aren't expected to improve with only five returning starters. Texas Tech should put up gaudy offensive numbers once again in 2007, but a loaded Big 12 South will prevent them from going anywhere further than the Houston Bowl.
The last time the Bears went to a bowl game was in 1994. If Baylor wants to break the streak this year, it will start with an experienced defense. The team's two leading
BAYLOR
tacklers from last year return.
Senior linebacker Nick Moore and sophomore linebacker Joe Pawelek will make it tough
BU
to run the ball on the Bears. Sophomore quarterback Blake Szymianski started three games last year but it looks as if Kent State transfer Michael Machen will be the starter in 2007. Machen threw 11 touchdowns and 18 interceptions in his brief career with Kent State. Senior running back Brandon Whitaker will not only be the leading rusher but a primary target out of the backfield in Baylor's newly implemented spread offense. Baylor's offense is too inexperienced to imagine the Bears playing in a bowl game.

Stay away from drafting these players
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
kreckunheit@kansan.com
The Madden curse: Welcome to the NFL, Vince Young. Last year's third-overall pick won the Rookie of the Year award last season, but however appealing Young may be to potential fantasy owners, all should stay away from drafting him.
The Madden Curse. It has proven itself to be a legitimate plague to
Why? Young is a proven winner at both levels.
liven to be a of the athletes who have graced the cover of Madden football, an EA Sports video game.
One of the best players in the NFL - LaDainian Tomlinson - turned down an opportunity to be on the cover of Madden. It has to be true. A long list of players are involved in the curse: Daunte Culpepper, Michael Vick, Ray Lewis, Donovan McNabb and Shaun Alexander.
I know McNair has that ironman reputation,but he will be 34 years old this season and has taken a beating in almost every season he has played in the NFL.
Culpepper has since been banished to the black hole as a probable backup to Josh McCown with the offensively challenged Oakland Raiders. Vick is battling legal troubles involving dogfighting charges. Lewis has rebounded from his own legal troubles in a murder trial. McNabb is coming off leg injuries in back-to-back seasons. Alexander enters his first post-Madden season, but his year on the cover was far less stellar than the record-breaking season that came before it.
Stay away from drafting any of these players, unless you like taking risks.
HAMMERED BY THE LAW
And unless you are drafting for a fantasy wrestling team, don't pick Pacman Jones. Because Jones is a defensive player, that advice only applies to leagues with individual defensive players, or IDPs, which won't apply to most leagues.
Vick most likely won't see the field. Also, stay away from Chris Henry, wide receiver for Cincinnati.
QUARTERBACKS TO SACK
Stay away from Steve McNair and JaMarcus Russell. I know McNair has that iron reputation, but he will be 34 years old this season and has taken a beating in almost
I could give 10 reasons why not to draft JaMarcus
"Russell without the Hustle," but I'll limit myself to the top three. Forget that rookies hardly ever make a fantasy impact for a second, and consider this:
He still hasn't signed a contract or been to training camp. He has three quarterbacks in front of him on the depth chart right now, according to ESPN.com, one of those being lights-out Andrew Walter, and I say lights out as in no one's home. And he plays for the offensively inept Raiders with a rookie coach, two career backups as the top two running backs, Jerry Porter as the number one receiver, and ... do I really need to continue?

If Owens is old, Joe Horn is ancient. Yes, he moved to Atlanta, a team in desperate need of a receiver, but the Falcons are also in desperate need of an actual quarterback.

If Owens is old, Joe Horn is ancient. Yes, he moved to Atlanta, a team in desperate need of a receiver, but the Falcons are also in desperate need of an actual quarterback. After trading Matt Schaub, the Vick fiasco has left them with Joey Harrington as their likely starter for the season. In a rushing offense where Alge Crumpler is the number one option in the passing game, Horn will fade into retirement.
Ahman Green may be older,but it is a stretch to say he is wiser. Why would a 30-year-old running back go to Houston to play behind one of the league's most porous offensive lines?

Woodland ended his tenure as a Jayhawk tied for 25th at the NCAA Central Regional Tournament on May 19. Despite the disappointing finish, Woodland captured three tournament victories during his senior season.
Since the close of the season, Woodland has been on the amateur circuit developing his game. Woodland captured the Kansas Amateur Golf title in July, his second time winning the event in the years. In September, he plans to become a professional golfer.
"I'm trying to continually better myself each day," Woodland said. "I'm excited about the chance to become a professional."
Playing golf wasn't Woodland's first love upon graduating from Shawnee Heights High School in Tecumseh. He signed a scholarship to play basketball at Washburn University, where he continued developing his golf game on Washburn's golf team.
In relation to his golfing peers, Woodland is new to the sport.
"I loved playing basketball. I had great success in the sport," Woodland said. "What it came down to was, that for me, basketball was a four-year sport. Unlike basketball, I knew in golf I might have the opportunity to play professionally."
Woodland will now be heading to Texas to continue improving with his teaching pro Randy Smith. Smith served as a second coach for Woodland throughout his senior season.
"I've been with Randy for over a year and a half now," Woodland said. "Like today, I had a bad round pulling the ball, so I called him up. He calmed me down and gave me advice on what to change tomorrow."
Along with Smith, Woodland thanked the Kansas coaching staff of Ross Randall and Kit Grove for their
effect on his success. Woodland described Randall as a second father to him and said Grove will be a great coach after Randall's retirement.
Grove, the golf team's assistant coach, said Woodland possessed skills that separated him from other players. Grove said Woodland's potential was unlimited because of his ability to build off of every round he plays.
"Gary can do things with a golf ball that very few people can," Grove said. "He has that X-factor you can't teach
and when he does need help he's like a
sponge, learning from everything.
Woodland said he hoped to qualify for the Walker Cup that takes place at the Royal County Down Golf Club in Ireland on September 8-9. After that event, he will choose his sponsors and make the leap to the pros.
"I'd love to play in the Walker Cup," Woodland said. "That is my final goal as an amateur."

Javon Walker comments on teammate's murder
BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver Broncos wide receiver Javon Walker says he still has the bloodied shirt from the night teammate Darrent Williams died in his arms after a drive-by shooting on New Year's Day.
Asked why he hadn't washed them, he said, "It's just something that reminds me every day of what could happen and this is what happened to my friend. And this is like ... what's left of him is on my clothes."
In his first public comments about Williams' unsolved death, Walker tells HBO's "Real Sports" in a segment to be aired Tuesday night that he keeps the unlaunered shirt as a reminder of his friend and of the fragility of life.
Walker told The Associated Press on Saturday that the interview with Kremer was the only time he planned on talking publicly about the Williams' slaying.
Interviewer Andrea Kremer asks Walker about showing up to Broncos headquarters about 10 hours after Williams' slaying while still wearing his bloodstained clothes.
Williams was a rising 24-year-old star who had just completed his second season in the NFL when the stretch limousine he was riding in was sprayed with bullets after leaving a night-club in downtown Denver
"I still have those clothes," Walker replied.
cousin were partying with Williams' group that night and began spraying champagne around, "some of which hit a club patron and his friend, who confronted Williams and his entourage."
Walker said he didn't see the encounter inside the club but saw trouble brewing when he left at closing time. Marshall and his cousin were exchanging heated words with two men, he said. The rammers
Those men flashed gang signs and were escorted out of the club, said members of a rap group from Williams' hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, who were with him that night.
where there had been an altercation between people in Williams' group and suspected gang members.
No charges have been filed in the case, although police believe several men in custody on federal drug charges have information about Williams' slaying.
"Real Sports," said another Broncos receiver, Brandon Marshall, and his
JAVON WALKER Denver Broncos wide receiver
said it was the same men who had been kicked out of the club earlier that night.
Less than a mile away, Walker said he was turning up the music when Williams suddenly fell into his lap.
After Williams and Walker both tried to intervene, Williams told Walker to ride with him in his Hummer limousine, and they drove off into the night, Walker said.
"You don't know what to think; to have somebody die in your arms and you know you're the last person he hugged."
"Maybe when I see him in heaven,I can ask him,maybe put it behind me."
JAVON WALKER Denver Broncos wide receiver
Walker said he pushed Williams away and told him to quit messing around — and that's when he saw blood spurting from Williams' neck and heard the other gunshots.
he held Williams close and tried to stop the bleeding.
Walker said he didn't know if he should run with Williams and worried if "these dudes were going to try to finish us off?"
"All I remember at that point in time was he was just looking up at me and I was just like, 'I got you, Dee, I got you, Dee. I got you, Dee,' Walker recounted. "So, the limo went off the road into the side of the snow. I just remember grabbing him, pulling him out the limo."
Walker said he didn't attend Williams' funeral in Fort Worth with the rest of the Broncos "because all it
"You don't know what to think," Walker said, "to have somebody die in your arms and you know you're the last person he hugged."
was going to do
was just bring back memories of something I didn't want to feel again."
He said it had been hard enough when the Broncos held a private memorial service at team headquarters and he
didn't know what to tell Williams' mother, Rosalind Williams, as she hugged him.
Instead, Walker went to Las Vegas, fearful, he said, for his own life in case the shooter wanted to "finish everyone off" who was in the limo.
Walker, who joined the Broncos in a draft day trade from Green Bay last year, said at first he didn't want to keep playing in Denver.
He said he doesn't need any grief counseling, but acknowledged he'll probably never put the tragedy behind him: "Maybe when I see him in heaven, I can ask him, maybe put it behind me then."
Coming off a torn knee ligament that wiped out most of his 2005 season, Walker piled up 1,084 yards and eight touchdowns on 69 catches last year.
He's had a stellar training camp and has steadfastly refused to talk about anything other than football. He told The AP on Saturday that last year was just of glimpse of what he can do on the field.
"Obviously, last year I was coming in and trying to rehab and learn the offense and get familiar with my teammates. This year, is just boom, full-speed, all-go ahead," he said. "I feel good. I'm healthy. Nothing's wrong. And I'm ready to take off from a fast start."

Football starts intramural season
BY MEGAN MORRISS
mmorriss@kansan.com
Flag football is up first this intramural season, out of the four intramural sports offered by KU Recreation Services.
Play begins Aug. 26 at Shenk Sports Complex.
About 140 teams registered last season.
"The number increases and decreases, but it's been pretty steady," said Ben Prahl, Oregon graduate student.
Ben Smith, Overland Park sophomore, chose to start his own intramural team.
"It's just something fun to do with your friends," Smith said.
Intramural sports are a way for students to get involved and stay in shape.
Teams also have the amusement of creating their own team names.
"One team last year was named 'If We Show Up We Win,' Prahl said. "There's a lot of creativity out there."
"I played football in high school
Registration begins August 17 and ends August 20. Each member of a flag fooball intramural team must pay a $20 entry fee. Only students on the Lawrence campus or faculty with a membership to the Student Recreation Fitness Center may participate.
and this was the next best thing, it let me stay competitive," said Clint Brown, Cincinnati senior, whose team was named the CV Hawks.
"But some people want to win no matter what," Prahl said. "But it comes back down to the fact that people are out there to have fun."
Some teams use wit to name their teams in a way so when the question "Who did you beat?" is asked, a reply such as "Your Mom" is given.
The Student Recreation Fitness Center offers more sports for student to look forward to in the coming months, such as table tennis, racketball and three-on-three soccer.

NFL
Owners give Goodell rave reviews so far
BY DAVE GOLDBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — To most people, Roger Goodell's crackdown on misbehaving players is perceived as his main accomplishment in his first year as NFL commissioner.
In truth, the long-term promise for his administration is reflected in the raves from Dallas' Jerry Jones and Buffalo's Ralph Wilson, two owners at the opposite ends of the NFLs most critical divide: revenue.
"It's been just a wonderful year. Roger has made all the right decisions, all the common sense things that make the NFL what it is," said the 88-year-old Wilson, who has been the most outspoken of the league's small-
market owners. Wilson was less than enthusiastic about Goodell before he was selected last Aug. 8 to succeed Paul Tagliabue.
"He gets an A-plus from me," said Jones, who agrees with Wilson on very little — at least on the business side of the league.
The raves from two sides of the NFL's deep financial debate are about Goodell's handling of issues more far-reaching for the NFL's future than his discipline of Adam "Pacman" Jones, Tank Johnson, Chris Henry and Michael Vick. Such items as revenue sharing, labor, pensions, television, and competitive and economic balance are the critical to the future, not how he deals with a star quarterback accused of dogfighting.
For example, he commuted from four games to two a suspension given to Kansas City defensive end Jared Allen after two DUI arrests; Allen will also be fined a third game check. Pacman's suspension can be reduced from a year to 10 games for good behavior, and Johnson's eight games can become six if he doesn't run afoul of the law, although Johnson currently has no team.
He's not the "hanging judge" that some fans and players think he is. Goodell's decisions are made case by case and allow the suspended players to come back earlier if they behave.
"I deal with everything that comes across my desk and, frankly, discipline is just a small part of it."
Jerry Jones, who had more than his share of run-ins with Tagliabue over individual marketing and revenue sharing, thinks Goodell's 20 years working for Pete Rozelle and Tagliabue make him perfect for a complex job. An outsider, he points out, would have needed to learn how to be a CEO dealing with 32 other
"It's not as if my entire time — or even most of it — has been devoted to that," he said last Saturday after visiting with the Tennessee Titans (Pacman's team) in Nashville. "Basically, we're talking about four players. I deal with everything that comes across my desk and, frankly, discipline is just a small part of it."
CEOs with conflicting interests and very different personalities.
"What he had was a very good working relationship with individuals and clubs before he became commissioner," Jones said of Goodell.
"I'm amazed at what a regular guy he's been," said Tom Condon, one of the NFL's top player agents.
Condon cited Goodell's sympathy at the draft for his client, Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, who fell through the first round after being considered a potential No. 1.

overall choice.
"Roger came over and asked. "Would you like to get out of the spotlight?" Condon said. "He took him back to a room with his own family, then left him alone with his parents and had his family
leave the room. He didn't have to do that. It was a very human thing to do."
Those political and social skills certainly will be needed for any labor talks.
Dallas' Jones believes Goodell is the best possible lead negotiator.
"His way of operating and his knowledge of the league reflect instinctive people skills — political skills if you want to call them that," Jones said.

Big 10 to shine, but will it be on TV?
20 83
BY RUSTY MILLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Michigan running back Mike Hart (20), and tight end Mike Massey (83) gather with teammates and football coaches for photos during the Wolves' annual Media Day in Ann Arbor, Mich.
This should be a banner year for the Big Ten. The problem is, few may get a chance to see it.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Big Ten's new television network is struggling to reach agreements with the biggest cable providers in the Midwest, and the clock is ticking on the Sept. 1 openers.
The sticking point is that the conference insists that it must be on basic expanded cable. Comcast and Time Warner say no way.
"When the cable company decides to send 70 channels — the food channel, and the dog channel and the bike channel and the jewelry channel — into your home, (we believe) that the Big Ten Network deserves to be in that grouping," Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said. "Everything else is pretty negotiable."
The favorite figures to be MICHIGAN. In this era of kids jumping early to the pros, the Wolverines' biggest stars are back. First massive left tackle Jake Long said he was come back, which prodded tailback Mike Hart and QB Chad Henne to return.
If the deals don't get done, be prepared for infomercials instead of Big Ten showdowns.

erally blue-collar fans at The Big House have tired of the late-season pratfalls of the guys in winged helmets — four straight bowl losses and a three-year drought against rival Ohio State. Many are not happy with the coach.

Michigan Head Coach
"I can assure you you're not going to see a two-platoon quarterback system out of Wisconsin," coach Bret Bielema said. "Never say never, but that's not on my agenda."
WISCONSIN is loaded, just not at a couple of key spots. With QB John Stocco graduated, the nation's most overlooked 12-1 team last year desperately needs Tyler Donovan or Allan Evridge — either one — to take control of the job. That's the only hole on offense from a team that is riding a nine-game win streak.

easy 41-14 count. The Buckeyes are still embarrassed by that one.
QB Todd Boeckman will likely draw the assignment of replacing the Heisman winner.
There is nothing that 80-year-old Joe Paterno would like better in his 42nd year as the head coach at PENN STATE than a third national title. He's joined by standout LB Dan Connor and QB Anthony Morelli. The o'l high-pants-and-white-socks coach has returned from knee surgery and now must find somebody to replace TB Tony Hunt (1,386 rushing yards, 27 catches) and LB Paul Posluszny, who led the team with 116 tackles.
"After I had the operation, the doctor asked me how long I wanted to still coach," JoePa said, "I said, 'Five or six years.' He said, 'There's no reason why you can't.' An 0-4
finish doomed IOWA to its first losing season (6-7) in six years under coach Kirk Ferentz. Most of the offensive line is gone, along with QB Drew Tate. Ferentz will earn his $2 million-plus annual salary if he can get the Hawkeyes flying up instead of down.
PURDUE will pay for a relatively soft early schedule (Toledo, Eastern Illinois, Central Michigan, Minnesota) with consecutive tests against Notre Dame, Ohio State and at Michigan. That doesn't mean coach Joe Tiller is down.
"We have a degree of optimism at Purdue in the sense that we have the most starters back (18) that we've had in our 10 years here," Tiller said.
Instead of celebrating another step in its rebuilding project, INDIANA is still shaken by the death of coach Terry Hoeppner.
The Hoosiers had a bowl trip in their grasp last year until losing their last three games. Now that Bill Lynch has moved from interim to head coach, it'll be hard for the Hoosiers not take a
back, coach Pat Fitzgerald hopes to be more consistent throughout.
MICHIGAN STATE was 3-0 and ahead of No.12 Notre Dame by 16 points at home heading into the fourth quarter. Then the Spartans went belly up, losing 40-37, the first of eight losses in their last nine games. John L. Smith was let go after the season and defensive-minded Mark Dantonio was hired from Cincinnati. He draws a brutal schedule, which includes road games against Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Ohio State.
"It's an exciting time to get back at it, especially when your last game wasn't as good as you would have liked to have been."

Reed fulfills hoop dreams
Freshman adjusting to teammates, school, fame

Tyrel Reed, freshman, is already fitting in with his team through pranks and practices. Basket said he was excited to have fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a Jawahra basketball player.

Tyrel Reed is a household name in Burlington.
As a four-time all-state selection and 2006-07 Gatorade Player of The Year, Reed warranted a lot of attention from folks at Burlington High School. For Reed, joining the Kansas men's basketball team is the culmination of a lifelong dream to become a Jayhawk.
Like many children who grew up in Kansas, Reed followed the Jayhawks and attended basketball camps every year in Lawrence. These days, Reed is the one helping with coach Bill Self's camp during the summer.
"During the scrimmage of coach's camp it kind of hit me," Reed said. "I looked up at all the campers watching us and I realized I'd made it."
The spotlight being cast upon Reed isn't a new situation for the freshman. He was touted as the 14th best point guard in the country coming out of Burlington High School, according to Rivals.com. He received recruiting interest from Georgia Tech, Stanford, Missouri and Kansas State. He also was recruited by former Kansas coach Roy Williams at North Carolina, who ran some of the camps Reed attended while growing up. Ultimately, Reed said the tradition and excitement that surrounded Kansas basketball made his decision easier.
Kansas was the best place for me."
Reed said he was excited about playing for Self, who visited him numerous times during the past three years of the recruiting process.
"During the scrimmage of coach's camp it kind of hit me. I looked up at all the campers watching us and I realized I'd made it."

"I grew up around here. I've sat in those stands and watched the games," Reed said. "The other programs were great schools, but
He said the coach expected him to bring leadership to the team.
"I could be considered a gym rat. Since my dad was my coach growing up, I always had access to a gym," Reed said. "Coach
Self wants me to get my teammates in to play pick-up as much as possible."
Reed said he spent about five hours on basketball-related activities each day during the summer, divided between the weight room, conditioning in the morning and scrimmaging with teammates in the evening. He said that when he wasn't working on basketball, he was adjusting to dorm life, as he moved into the Jayhawker Towers with his roommate and fellow
"Cole got a new flat screen TV but we can't seem to get the cable to come in right," Reed said. "At least I can play 'Halo 2.' I play that video game a lot."
When asked about being ribbed by some of the older players on the team, Reed laughed and said everyone liked to clown around. He mentioned one specific instance when Darrell "shady" Arthur pranked him.
"The other day Shady randomly nailed me with a water balloon," Reed said. "It's okay though, I already feel like I mesh well with the team, so it's fun to joke around sometimes."
Reed said that students should feel free to welcome him to campus any time they see him because he loves talking to people.
"I like to meet new people. It's cool to think that more people will know me since I play basketball here," Reed said. "More importantly though, I'm not going to get a big head. I feel that if you are nice to everyone, hopefully they will be nice to you."

McCray grows close to coach Sophomore driven by relationship with Henrickson

Danielle McCray isn't a vocal basketball player.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
The sophomore guard said she rarely strayed from a balanced demeanor and wasn't going to be the player in the locker room hyping the rest of players up before a game. She prefers to lead by example, letting her game do the talking.
Off the court, McCray's voice is heard more often. She said she calls her mother five times a day. She also communicates daily with Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson, the woman who makes McCray feel like "family" and persuaded McCray to come to Kansas, instead of national powerhouse Duke.
Danielle McCray, sophomore, will move to guard this season after playing forward last year. McCray said coach Bonnie Henrickson made her feel like "family," and her close relationship with Henrickson has contributed to her arrival and success at Kansas
"I talk to coach Bonnie every day that she is in town," McCray said. "A lot of players love to talk to our assistants but I'm the only one that has the close bond in talking to Coach. She even calls and talks to my mom, too."
McCray said Henrickson always stayed on her to get better on the court but helped her grow as a person as well. McCray that while in high school, the competition didn't challenge her. She said she was a little overweight coming into college and didn't take practice as seriously as she should have.
McCray has since slimmed down and learned that practice is often more important than the game.
"Coach Bonnie and I really are like the same person," McCray said. "She never yells but she'll come over and tell me the negatives with my playing. I like it, though. It motivates me to prove I'm better than that."
McCray said she loves playing for Kansas, but prior to Henrickson coaching at the University, McCray had her sights on other places.
"When I moved to Kansas, I came to a KU game and I didn't like this school," McCray said. "I remember they got blown out by 30 to K-State and I didn't like that."
McCray said that when Henrickson became the coach, her perception about the school started to change.
She said while Duke only communicated to her through the assistant coaches, Henrickson talked directly to her and her family.
The personal connection may be paying off. In five of the final six games last season, McCray scored in double figures, including a career-high 25 points in a double- overtime victory against rival Kansas State. McCray said she began to accomplish her goal of starting a winning tradition at Kansas similar to that of the men's team. She said she hoped that her time at Kansas could define the path of the program for years to come.
Despite being second on the team in scoring and being named to the
All-Big 12 freshman team, McCray said she felt she underachieved last season. She said this year, she will make the transition to guard after being a forward last season.
McCray said she used the summer break to improve her ball-handling skills and lifted weights to strengthen her inside game. She said she enjoyed working Henrickson's basketball camps and watching the children playing around her.
McCray and her teammates left Aug. 3 on an exhibition tour against semi-pro teams in Australia. The team played four games during the tour and took in some of the sights in Australia during the off days.

Team travels Down Under to compete
Preseason competition in Australia provides experience, team bonding

The Jayhawks left for the trip Down Under on Aug. 4, destined for capital city Sydney to play their first of four games.
Though the women's basketball team's trip to Australia offers a chance for preseason competition to prepare for the upcoming season, the real value of the trip seems to be in the bonding experience of a 10-day trip overseas.
Before ever stepping into a gym, coach Bonnie Henrickson and her crew toured the famous Sydney Opera House, shopped at various malls, climbed to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and walked along Manly Beach.
"The trip has been everything and more than what I expected," said sophomore guard Kelly Kohn. "There are just a million things to do every day."
All of the outside attractions did little to help Kansas on the court, though, as the semi-pro Sydney Flames welcomed the team with an 88-54 loss Tuesday night. Disappointment would be an understatement for senior guard Taylor McIntosh.
"We were having so much fun that it was hard to get focused. It had to be comparable to our worst game from last year," she said.
The Jayhawks took on the Flames instead of their original opponent, the Sutherland Sharks, because of a scheduling conflict. Worse yet, traffic jams left Kansas with very little time to prepare before the game.
“It's a combination of all those things,” Henrickson said. “There’s never an excuse to play that poorly, but we got there … had to change our clothes and had 18 minutes to warm-up.”
Henrickson said the roster her team was given didn't match the team they played, a great disadvantage for a team that relies heavily on scouting reports. With a better idea of what it would take to compete in Australia, the Jayhawks re-focused on their way
to Brisbane for games two and three.
The difference was clear Thursday night as sophomore forward Danielle McCray poured in 26 points and led Kansas to a 78-71 win over Logan Blue. McIntosh posted a double-double with 18 points and 11 boards while sophomore forwards Sade Morris and Porscha Weddington also reached double-figure point totals, tallying 13 and 11, respectively.
Before the game Henrickson had
preached better defense, and her team held Logan Blue to 36.4 percent shooting from the field. The coach also said she liked the opportunity she had to see some of her players in different roles, such as McCray on the perimeter and Kohn trying to take over the point guard.
Aside from giving her a chance to prove herself for the starting spot, Kohn felt the trip would help make the team closer.
"Outside of basketball, I like just having an opportunity to be together for a bonding experience," she said.
The Jayhawks defeated Logan Red Saturday evening 83-56. They then left for Cairns, where they will play their fourth and final game Tuesday, and they will return to Lawrence Wednesday.

BIG 12
Walker redshirted after knee injury Team eager to see him back in action
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State forward Bill Walker, who played just six games last season due to an injury, was awarded a medical redshirt from the Big 12 Conference on Thursday.
The 6-foot-6 freshman had an impressive start last year before sustaining a season-endling knee injury Jan. 6 in the first few minutes of a 69-65 loss at No. 11 Texas A&M.
Kansas State coach Frank Martin said he was pleased with the conference's decision, allowing Walker to keep a year of eligibility.
"In reality, Bill is still a freshman because he participated in less than 10 practices and played in just six games last season, so he deserves the opportunity," Martin said in a statement. "We look forward to getting a healthy Bill Walker back to the floor because he will be a tremendous asset to our basketball team."
Walker underwent surgery on his left knee in mid-January, and
the team has said he has almost completely recovered.
Before the injury, Walker averaged 11.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in six games.
With the ruling, Walker will remain a freshman, joining the class of Michael Beasley, Fred Brown, Jacob Pullen and Dominique Sutton.
The Huntington, WVa., native, was the most highly sought freshman ever to play for the Wildcats. He teamed with O.J. Mayo to lead Cincinnati's North College Hill High School to two Ohio State championships. Last summer, Walker was ruled ineligible to play his final season at North College Hill and he enrolled at Kansas State.
Kansas State went 23-12 last season, two wins shy of the school single-season record for victories. The Wildcats were 10-6 in the Big 12, their best finish since the conference formed in 1996. Still, they did not make the NCAA tournament, settling instead for an NIT bid.
BOXING
Cuban defectors, or refugees?
BY STAN LEHMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAO PAULO, Brazil — An international human rights group has asked Brazil to investigate the deportation of two Cuban boxers who disappeared during last month's Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Two-time defending Olympic bantamweightchampion Guillermo Rigdeaux and 2005 welterweight
amateur world champion Erislandy Lara left the athletes' village July 22 and failed to appear for their weigh-ins.
They were arrested 11 days later for overstaying their visas and sent back to Cuba.
New York-based Human Rights Watch claimed the boxers may have been eligible for refugee status despite the fact they did not explicitly request political asylum while they were in Brazil.

Missouri running back Tony Temple was carted off the practice field on Tuesday with a knee injury. Temple, the Big 12's top returning rusher, is ready in time for the Tigers' season-opener.
Reserves shine in absence Tiger injury creates competition for extra playing time
BY TROY SCHULTE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Tony Temple's knee injury proved to be minor, but his missed practice time is giving Missouri's other running backs a chance to showcase themselves in the hunt for playing time.
Temple, who is the Big 12's leading returning rusher with 1,063 yards last season, at first appeared to be seriously hurt after colliding with another player Tuesday. An MRI showed only a bruise. Still, Temple has remained on the sidelines as a precaution, though he did some light running Thursday.
Coach Gary Pinkel wasn't sure when Temple would return to
practice but said he expects him to be ready for the season-owner Sept. 1 against Illinois at St. Louis.
Temple's absence means more repetitions for Marcus Woods, Jimmy Jackson and Earl Goldsmith in what Pinkel calls a competition for playing time.
"They're all competing and working hard," Pinkel said. "But bottom line is we're going to play the best guys and the guys that are protecting the football and making plays."
Jackson knows the temporary loss of Temple is a chance for the backs to show their skills.
"Of course I see it as an opportunity," he said. "We've got a lot of talent back there. It's a lot of competition and we're making
each other better."
"He's doing very well he worked very hard," jones said.
All three saw some action last season. Jackson had 32 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown; Goldsmith carried 28 times for 119 yards and a score; Woods, who started 10 games as a sophomore in 2005, carried five times for 53 yards in the 2006 opener against Murray State, but had just four carriers in Big 12 games.
A solid spring followed by an impressive start to summer drills have helped Woods reinsert himself into the mix, running backs coach Brian Jones said.
Two other running backs who are longshots for playing time are freshmen Derrick Washington and De'Vion Moore.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncs wrapped up the Denver portion of their training camp Saturday, but it didn't feel like the end of the grind.
Following nearly two weeks of two-a-days, the Broncos will open their exhibition schedule Monday night at San Francisco, then fly to Dallas for two days of practices with the Cowboys before the teams play at Texas Stadium on Saturday night.

None of the rookies will start but should get plenty of action as backups.
As usual, Shanahan will have his starters play 10-12 snaps in their first game, about double that in the second game, then 35 plays or until the middle of the third quarter for the third preseason game, which is against Cleveland at Invesco Field on Aug. 20.

BIG EAST
New powerhouses emerge Teams make big name for once-struggling conference
96 57 36 96 97 40 38
BY RALPH D. RUSSO ASSOCIATED PRESS
Players run during Rutgers University football practice on Friday at Rutgers Stadium in Piscataway, N.J. Rutgers had its greatest season to become one of college football's best stories.
Augusto F. Menezes/ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Of all the ways to measure the success of last football season for the Big East, there might be none better than this: Rutgers is considered a hot commodity.
When Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany recently talked about the possibility of his league expanding, Rutgers was one of the programs prominently mentioned as a possible 12th member.
"Ray's one of those guys who gets better and stronger as the game goes on. He trains like a maniac to be able to do that. He's got the gift," Schiano said.
Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese, who led the conference back from the brink of extinction after the Atlantic Coast Conference lured away Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College, can rest easy.
"All that stuff is speculation," Scarlet Knights coach Greg Schiano said recently about the possibility of a Big Ten relocation. "What I do know is fact. We worked awfully hard to save this Big East conference and we're very proud of it.
"I'm very proud of the way the league performed last year. We take great pride in being part of that resurgence."
While White, Slaton, Brohm and Rice are getting much of the attention, South Florida quarterback Matt Grothe is a star on the rise.
As a freshman, he threw for 2,576 yards and 15 touchdowns and led the team with 622 yards rushing and nine more TDs. He also led the Bulls to an upset at West Virginia.
Rice provided the power in the best season in Rutgers' history. He was third in the nation in rushing (one spot ahead of Slaton) with 1,794 yards and scored 20 touchdowns. He also led the nation in carries with 335.
Injuries held Brohm back last season, but he still threw for 3,049 yards and 16 touchdowns and helped the Cardinals win the Big East and earned their first Bowl Championship Series berth.
Behind West Virginia, Louisville and surprising Rutgers, the Big East re-established itself as a power conference in 2006. All three of those teams finished ranked in the top 12 in the country and the conference went 5-0 in bowl games.
White and Slaton might be the most talented backfield tandem in the country.
For 2007, expect more of the same from a league with serious star power. The Big East boasts four players who are getting plenty of Heisman heyp heading into the season in West Virginia's Pat White and Steve Slaton, Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm and Rutgers running back Ray Rice.
A capsule look at the teams in predicted order of finish;
WEST VIRGINIA
WR Daris Reynaud and FB Owen Schmitt give Rodriguez two more playmakers on offense. Reynaud caught 39 passes and averaged 27 yards per kickoff return. Sch汀ran for 109 yards and two scores when Slaton was out of the Gator Bowl. The pass defense must improve. Last
year, it ranked 109th in the country. The entire five-man secondary is back.
LOUISVILLE
The receiver combination of 6-foot-6 Mario Urrutia and speedy Harry Douglas is one of the best in the country. Douglas had 70 catches for 1,250 yards and Urrutia had 58 for 973. ... Cardinals also had issues stopping the pass, and they will have to improve with a rebuilt secondary.
RUTGERS
QB Mike Teel and the passing game need to take some of the pressure of Rice. Teel didn't throw an interception in his last five games. Six starters return to a defense that ranked No. 4 in the country in yards allowed. DT Eric Foster and DE Jamaal Westerman are anchors.
SOUTH FLORIDA
The Bulls would prefer Grothe not to lead the team in rushing again. Last year's top backs were juniors Benjamin Williams (436 yards) and Ricky Ponton (306 yards). Freshmen Mike Ford and Aston Samuels could move past the upperclassman. Replacing two stellar linebackers, Stephen Nicholas and Pat St. Louis, will be key on defense. DE George Selvie had 5.5 sacks as a sophomore.
This is a big year for the program.
Panthers missed the postseason in
coach Dave Wannstedt's first two years. ... Most of the offense is back, except for the most important player. Productive QB Tyler Palko is gone, and heralded freshman Pat Bostick left preseason camp for personal reasons.
CINCINNATI
First-year coach Brian Kelly is already 1-0 as Bearcats coach. He led the team to a 27-24 victory over Western Michigan in the International Bowl last year after replacing Mark Dantonio. DT Terrill Byrd and CB Mike Mickens lead a defense that was solid last season, and has eight starters returning.
SYRACUSE
Coach Greg Robinson's first two season have produced five wins and very little offense. The Orange ranked 110th in total offense last season Sophomore QB Andrew Robinson has thrown only eight passes in his career, but he's the man. DE Jameel McClain led the Big East in sacks with 9.5.
CONNECTICUT
For two seasons, the Huskies passing game has been a mess while coach Randy Edsal searched for a competent quarterback. The hope is JUCO transfer Tyler Lorerenz will finally provide some stability. RB Donald Brown averaged 134 in the five Big East games he played.

Texans offense still ineffective under Schaub
BY KRISTIE RIEKEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Matt Schaub's first pass for the Houston Texans was for 2 yards. His second one was dropped.
This revamped Texans offense sure looks a lot like the old one.
Schaub, who replaced David Carr after backing up Michael Vick for three years in Atlanta, had an inaus-
picious debut going 3-for-5 for 25 yards. But the defending NFC champion Chicago Bears scored 13 fourth quarter points, including a 47-yard go-ahead field goal by Robbie Gould with 2:23 remaining to

beat the Texans 20-19 in the exhibition opener for both teams Saturday night.
The Texans got Schaub in a trade with the Falcons in March and released Carr, the No.1 pick in 2002, after he failed to lead Houston to a winning record in five seasons.
Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson runs after a catch as Chicago Bears cornerback Nathan Vasher closes in during the first quarter of a preseason NFL football game Saturday in Houston.
That first drive, which also featured a 1-yard run by new Texan Ahman Green, ended in a punt. On his second and last series, Schaub looked a bit better, finding Andre Johnson for a 1-yard gain and Owen Daniels up the middle for 8 yards.
had a chance for a lay-up touchdown there at the end and he misses Kevin in the corner of the end zone."
And this was against a Bears defense missing both Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Urlacher and star defensive tackle Tommie Harris, who didn't suit up.
"I felt really comfortable right from the start," Schaub said. "We were in rhythm, we had a good tempo. The whole time we were in there, we did a good job of getting
The Texans had to settle for a field goal that put them ahead 3-0 after Schaub overthrew a wide-open Kevin Walter in the end zone on third-and-4.

in and out of the huddle and executing our assignments."
The 30-yearold Green, who signed with the Texans in March after seven seasons in Green Bay, finished with three carries for 7 yards.
Johnson, a
Pro Bowler last season, was encouraged by Schaub's performance.
"I think a lot of the decisions he made tonight were some pretty smart decisions," Johnson said. "I'll tell you one thing, he'll stay in that pocket and throw that ball. That's something you have to love about the quarterback."
Rex Grossman looked sharp in two series and completed his first eight passes. He found first-round pick Greg Olsen for a 5-yard gain before hitting Muhsin Muhammad for 10 yards on the first drive.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I have a feeling he will make a lot of those catches over the course of the year," coach Lovie Smith said of Olsen.
Grossman was 8-of-10 for 50 yards.
"We moved the ball pretty well,"
Grossman said. "For the first pre-season game that was fine, and that's really all you try to do is look sharp and execute."
Cedric Benson, in his first season as the featured back, had five carries for 23 yards. It was the first career preseason game for the former University of Texas standout after he sat out as a rookie because of contract negotiations and last year with a shoulder sprain.
"Cedric Benson ran the ball really well," Smith said. "He had three catches, which is good to get him back in the flow."
Backup Brian Griese's first pass was intercepted by Von Hutchins, who ran it back 20 yards. The Texans added another field goal that made it 6-0.
Griese redeemed himself on the next drive, finding Mark Bradley for a 31-year gain before a short touchdown pass to fullback Obafemi Ayanbadejo put Chicago ahead 7-6 in
The NFL suspended Ayanbadejo without pay for the first four regular-season games for violating the league's policy on anabolic steroids. He denied taking steroids and blamed the test results on an over-the-counter supplement. The suspension begins Sept. 1.
Houston's Jerome Mathis returned a kickoff 78 yards after the Bears' TD. The third-player player, who missed 14 games with injuries last season after making the Pro Bowl as a rookie, was finally brought down by Gould. The return set up Kris Brown's third field goal, a 42-yard, to make it 9-7. Brown also had a 29-yard.
"It was fun, kind of like being a rookie all over again." Mathis said.

Knee problems plague St. Louis Ankiel provides spark in call-up
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Adam Kennedy will be sidelined two to six weeks with torn cartilage in his right knee, the latest blow for the defending World Series champions.
Infielder Brendan Ryan was recalled from Triple-A Memphis. He and Aaron Miles likely will share playing time at second while Kennedy, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list, is out.
Miles started at second on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ryan started at third base and batted ninth on a scheduled day off for Scott Rolen.
"I'm guessing he'll be back in September, but I don't know," manager Tony La Russa said of Kennedy.
Kennedy said the knee had been bothering him the last few days and an MRI exam on Sunday confirmed the injury. The team will schedule surgery in the next several days.
"I knew it wasn't good," Kennedy said. "When you play sports long enough you know what hurts and what's injured."
He has struggled all year after
signing a free agent contract with the Cardinals, batting .219 with three homers and 18 RBI in 87 games. But Kennedy had been playing better lately.
Kennedy had played in five straight games
Ryan, 25, has batted .339 in 25 games with two homers and five RBI with the Cardinals. This is his fourth stint with the team this season.

Preaseason quaterbacks compete for starting spots
BY TOM WITHERS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — The coin flipped in Charlie Frye's favor, and the rest of the night went his way, too.
Frye played better than Derek Anderson in their competition to become Cleveland's starting quarterback, and the Browns got a late kickoff return for a TD in a 16-12 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.
Rookie Brady Quinn stood with a clipboard and studied his Cleveland playbook during his first NFL preseason game, watching as Frye and Anderson duked it out for a job the former Notre Dame star hopes to someday own.
Frye finished 12-of-15 for 122 yards. He made several strong throws downfield, but those positive plays were overshadowed by two bad
ones. Frye had a batomed swing pass in the backfield returned 56 yards for a touchdown by Kansas City's Benny Sapp in the first half,
And moments later, Frye's mismanagement of the clock in the closing seconds cost Cleveland points.
Still, Frye was pleased with his performance.
"I think I was putting the ball where I wanted it," Frye said. "We moved the ball pretty well, but we need to get touchdowns. That's what the coaches want from me."
Before kickoff, Frye won a coin toss held in coach Romeo Crennel's office to decide his starter.
"I called tails," said Anderson, who went 7-of-16 for 76 yards. "I stuck with it, but it didn't work for me."
Crennel, who hadn't given any indication when he'll name his starter, thought both players looked good
"Charlie was able to get into a rhythm a little bit sooner than Derek," he said. "Both were hurt by some dropped passes. We'll look at the tape and make an evaluation."
once they settled in.
Phil Dawson kicked three field goals for the Browns, who trailed 12-9 after Kansas City's Justin Medlock kicked a 42-yard with 148 left.
But Barclay returned Medlock's ensuing kickoff 88 yards for a TD, and the Brown's recovered a fumble inside their 20 to seal it in the final seconds.
Quinn, a first-round draft pick, missed 12 days of training camp in a contract holdout before signing a five-year, $20 million contract on Wednesday. Quinn's absence probably cost him any chance of starting the Sept. 9 season opener against Pittsburgh, but unless Frye or Anderson steps up, it may not be

long before the former Notre Dame star is calling signals.
For now, Quinn's listed behind Frye, Anderson and even Ken Dorsey on the Brown's depth chart, which could undergo several revisions in the months ahead.

After stepping away from linebacker Kamerion Wimbley's rush on a blown-up play, Croyle throw a pass directly to Browns cornerback Leigh Bodden for an interception instead of throwing the ball away.
Browns fans already have their favorite as chants of "Bra-dy, Bra-dy," broke out in the fourth quarter after the Chiefs sacked Dorsey in the end zone for a safety. Quinn never got in, but should play next week against Detroit.

MISSED FIELD GOAL-Cleveland, Ainsworth 43 (WL).
Kansas City, too, was looking for a starting quarterback and neither Brodie Croyle nor Damon Huard looked as if they wanted the job.
Kansas City's coaches love Croyle's high-powered arm. It's his decision making that drives them crazy.
Croyle, a third-round pick last season, got the start from coach Herm Edwards and went 5-of-8 for 49 yards with one interception. Huard, who led the Chiefs to a playoff berth last season after Trent Green sustained a serious concussion, was just 2-of-4 for 19 yards and also threw an interception.
"I made a stupid mistake trying to make a play," Croyle said. "I was trying to be Superman. I have to not make stupid plays."
On his first play, Frye forced a pass over that was nearly picked off by Chiefs linebacker Donnie Edwards. After a Kansas City turnover, Frye drove the Browns to a 27-yard field goal by Dawson.
The Chiefs were without running back Larry Johnson, who remained at odds with the club over a contract extension and hasn't reported to camp.
It was the first event held at Cleveland Browns Stadium since a flood caused extensive damage during a Kenny Chesney concert on July 14.

Pittsburgh hits big time
Steeltown meets Hollywood as television sets its sights on Pennsylvania city
AARON SCHWAB
Associated Press
Actor Donnie Wahlberg, as a police negotiator, appears in a robbery scene during the taping in Pittsburgh of the television mini-series "The Kill Point." Pittsburgh seems to be a popular setting for TV shows, from current series "Kill Point" and "Heartland" to a new sitcom this fall. "Back To You."
BONNIE ROGERS
PITTSBURGH — Maybe it's this former town's blue-collar tradition. Or its down-to-earth reputation. Or its many connections to the entertainment industry.
Treat Williams, right, as Dr. Nathaniel Grant, a transplant surgeon working in a hospital in Pittsburgh, on the set of the TNT television series "Heartland"
Whatever the reason, Pittsburgh has become a popular setting for TV shows.
Spike TV's bank heist miniseries "The Kill Point" is set here, and was shot here, too. The TNT medical drama, "Heartland" and Fox's planned fall TV news sitcom, "Back to You," starring Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton, also take place in Pittsburgh (though filmed elsewhere).
Associated Press
The Pittsburgh Film Office, which tries to lure movie productions to the region, would prefer that all movies and TV shows with Pittsburgh as their backdrop be filmed in the city. But film office director Dawn Keezer feels that anything that showcases the city helps it shed an outdated gritty, smoke-filled steelworth image many still have of it.
"We still get people wanting to go to the steel mills, asking where they can get the best view of the smokestacks." Keezer said.
Pittsburgh is accustomed to being slighted in movies and real life _ from the memorable line, "If they knew what they liked, they wouldn't live in Pittsburgh," in the 1941 film, "Sullivan's Travels," to actress Sienna Miller last year using an expletive to refer to the city.
"The name of the city often brings up connotations of a downtrodden place that is kind of sad," said Steven Levitan, one of the creators of "Back to You," which is shot on the Fox lot in Los Angeles. "But when you talk to people who live there, they will defend it. Those who have chosen to live there have done so for the right reason because it's a really nice place to live."
Levitan has never visited Pittsburgh, but he learned a lot about the city from a friend who is a Pittsburgh TV news anchor.
"We needed a (TV news) market that was not one of the very top but one that wasn't too far down that the audience wouldn't believe Kelsay and Patty anchoring there," Levitan said. "It's a very beautiful city."
Another reason he felt Pittsburgh was the ideal backdrop: A Pittsburgh is "somebody who is more down to earth, somebody who is a little more tougher," Levitan said.
Carl Kurlander, a writer and TV producer who penned the 1985 film, "St. Elmo's Fire," has a similar perspective of the city in which he grew up. There is, he said, "an everyman philosophy," an attractive character attribute, that many Pittsburgh-born actors, including Gene Kelly, Michael Keaton and Jeff Goldblum, have possessed.
Having several Pittsburgh-area expatriates in show business doesn't hurt, either, Kurlander said.

"Heartland" creator David Hollander, who grew up in nearby Mount Lebanon, also set his CBS legal drama "The Guardian" in Pittsburgh. Rob Marshall, who directed the Oscar-winning "Chicago," grew up here and is a Carnegie Mellon University graduate, as are producers John Wells ("The West Wing," "ER" and "China Beach") and Steven Bochco ("Hill Street Blues" and "NYPD Blue"). And producer Mindy Kanakek ("Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip") graduated from suburban Montour High School.
Kurlander returned home in 2001 to teach at the University of Pittsburgh. That prompted his friend, Jenji Kohan, creator of the Showtime series "Weeds," to title the second-season finale, "Pittsburgh," as a tribute to him, Kohan says on the DVD commentary track.
In 2003, Kurlander helped create Steeltown Entertainment Project to take advantage of the show-biz
connections and nurture local talent and incubate commercial entertainment projects in the region.
Steeltown's accomplishments include a 2003 entertainment summit that brought back Pittsburgh expatriates to discuss how the region could compete for film and TV productions. Those included the made-for-DVD children's film, "R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It," made in collaboration with Steeltown Entertainment Project, which will be released in September. Another new initiative, the Steeltown Film Factory, plans to help emerging local filmmakers.
The attention the Pittsburgh area is getting from all these TV shows provides a unique opportunity to help create a thriving industry here, Kurlander said.
Of all the TV shows and movies shot in and around Pittsburgh, Kurland believes that show best captured the essence of the city.
it's coming...

Former 'X-Files' actor resurfaces
Actor David Duchovny in the new Showtime series "Californication," a comedy-drama set in Los Angeles and premiering today.
BY KINNEY LITTLEFIELD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CULVER CITY, Calif. - David Duchovny seems calm and easy on the set of his hard-edged new Showtime series with the suggestive title.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
But "it's not a thinly veiled show that's supposed to titillate you," said Duchovny, best known for his role as dour, alien-obsessed FBI Agent Fox Mulder on the classic cult series "The X-Files."
But there's a glimpse of a disheveled bed inside Duchovny's spacious trailer, his off-camera refuge on the studio lot. It's a testament to his long hours as principal star of "Californication" and one of its executive producers.
On "Californication," premiering Aug. 13 (10:30 p.m. EDT), the lanky actor plays dysfunctional writer Hank Moody, who drowns his angst over writer's block and his split with his gorgeous girlfriend, Karen (Natascha McElhone), in bouts of drinking and casual sex.
Beds, in fact, are an essential prop on "Californication", a comedy-drama set in Los Angeles and rated MA for explicit language and nudity.
"It was a character I thought would be challenging to play because he wasn't necessarily likable on the page," Duchovny said of Hank.
When Duchovny first read series creator Tom Kapinos' script for the show's pilot, "it wasn't really about a guy who indiscriminately gets into fights, boozes, who has sex with multiple women," he said. "It was actually about a guy who's doing that because he really wants to be with his family."
Hank and Karen's precocious 12-year-old daughter, Becca (Madeleine Martin), also sparkes conflict.
"Californication" marks Duchovny's return to television as a leading man after roles in feature films including "House of D," which he wrote and directed, and "Trust the Man." He also played oddball
cameo roles in the Ben Stiller movie "Zoolander" and on TV series including "The Larry Sanders Show," "Sex and the City" and "Life With Bonnie." "Californication" also, reunites
Duchovny with Showtime,
where he previously played
Jake Winters on the cable
network's sex-fantasy series, "Red
Shoe Diaries."
Even for an actor who specializes in quirky characters, Duchovny has

at the same time realizing that his time could probably be spent better elsewhere."
Doing Hank's sex scenes doesn't trouble Duchyon, he said. "I've
DAVID DUCHOVNY Star of Showtime's "Californication"
picked a doozy with wayward Hank Moody.
"Sex is part of the problem with this guy," Duchovny said. "But we don't preach that it's a problem. It's not like he wants to kill himself every time he has sex with someone. He's actually enjoying it, while

After bolting from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party in the 1990s, Ozawa has become the face of Japan's opposition, sparring with his former colleagues in parliament and advocating bold reforms.

face a political landscape we have never before experienced," veteran Democratic Party of Japan lawmaker Satsuki Eda said after the upper house unanimously chose him as president at the start of a special session on Tuesday.
Eda is the first opposition lawmaker to hold the post since the ruling Liberal Democratic Party began 50 years of almost uninterrupted political domination in 1955.
"I am keen aware of the gravity of my responsibilities," he said.
The party suffered one of its worst setbacks in 50 years in last month's elections, while the Democratic Party of Japan now dominates the 242-seat upper house for the first time, with 113 seats.
The government has already been weakened by a series of scandals that have led to the departure of four Cabinet ministers. Support for Abe's Cabinet has dipped to a record low of 22 percent, according to a telephone poll of 1,165 voters conducted Aug. 4-5 by the national Mainichi newspaper.
Though Abe's ruling coalition still controls the more powerful lower house, which chooses the prime minister, the Democrats' advance in the upper house is expected to make it difficult for the ruling bloc to pass legislation.
Japanese media reported a new scandal Tuesday, alleging that Justice Minister Jinen Nagase illicitly received a donation from an advocacy group in return for expending inquiries to the ministry about visa procedures for a group of Chinese workers.
Nagase denied any wrongdoing during a news conference aired by public broadcaster NHK on Tuesday.
Also Tuesday, news reports said police arrested three officials working for Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker Yutaka Kobayashi, who won a seat in the July elections, over alleged election law violations.
Democratic Party of Japan leader Ichiro Ozawa signaled Tuesday that he may try to end Japan's mission to airlift coalition personnel and supplies from Kuwait to Iraq in support of U.S.-led operations there.
Japan has been a staunch supporter of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, dispatching troops there in 2004-2006. Japan's air force continues to transport coalition personnel and supplies from Kuwait to Iraq.
But Ozawa, who has argued that Japan's international efforts should be channeled through the United Nations and not the United States, said he was mulling a bill to cancel the airlift operations for Iraq. Ozawa has already said he intends to oppose extending a naval mission to the Indian Ocean to provide logistical support for U.S. operations in Afghanistan.
"Be it Afghanistan or Iraq, I don't think Japan-U.S. relations are all about following the Bush administration's policies," he said.
Despite his growing woes and impending political gridlock, Abe has refused to step down.

Lohans seek divorce after 20 years
BY FRANK ELTMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINEOLA, N.Y. — Ah, Long Island — land of Amy and Joey, birthplace of the bellocose Baldwin brothers, where Lizzie Grubman plowed her SUV through a night-club parking lot and Billy Joel slammed three cars into assorted inanimate objects.
Tabloid fodder, all — but with the Lohans of Merrick, the media mania is multiplied by three.
Daughter Lindsay seems headed for her third rehab stint this year following a California arrest on suspicion of drunken driving and cocaine possession. Back home, "momager" Dina and rehab-prone dad Michael shuttle between Long Island courthouses, trying to end their two-decade marriage as cameras flash and videotape rolls.
Their last court appearance drew more than two dozen paparazzi, camera crews and reporters, all for a divorce case once thought settled two years ago. The Lohans are also battling over visitation issues involving Lindsay's younger siblings.
Press reports that Lohan had traveled to Long Island last weekend set off a local media frenzy, but on Monday no one had pinned down the starlet's location. Some reports had her in Utah while others had her holed up back in mom's Merrick home.
With a family like this, how could the celebrity media resist?
"I feel like a second parent in the sense that I helped raise my family," Lindsay told Allure magazine earlier this year. "And I was put between my mother and father a lot. Well, I would put myself between them to try and keep the peace, and I felt good doing that."
The 21-year-old strawberry blonde began modeling before kin-
dergarden, taking an exhilarating ride from suburban obscurity to Hollywood stardom. Yet even as her name graced movie marquees, she never quite escaped her dysfunctional upbringing.
"It was really to let girls, boys, anyone that's in an abusive relationship, anyone who is going through things like that ... to put it out there that it's OK to express how you feel," she told The Associated Press in December 2005.
Michael Lohan, a former Wall Street broker, married Donata "Dina" Sullivan in 1985. Matrimony soon turned to acrimony.
In the late 1980s, he was sentenced to four years in prison in a stock fraud case. He returned to jail
"I was put between my mother and father a lot.Well,I would put myself between them to try and keep the peace,and I felt good doing that."
Lohan directed a 2005 autobiographical music video, "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)," depicting a husband resembling Michael verbally abusing a blonde-haired beauty who could easily be mistaken for Dina. A child in a tutu (Lindsay's younger sister, Ali?) quakes in fear in an adjacent bedroom.

him from seeing their children.
in 1998 after violating his probation by leaving the state to visit Lindsay on a California movie set. He received another 27 days in 2000 after violating an order of protection obtained by Dina to prevent
Two years ago, he was sentenced to 11/3 to 4 years in prison for drunken driving, brawling with his brother-in-law at a first communion party, and other charges. He was released in March 2007 and entered a Christian-based drug and rehabilitation center in West Babylon.
The born-again Lohan has repeatedly said his daughter needs to do the same.
Dina Lohan has told interviewers she considers herself a single parent, since Michael was behind bars for years. All four of her children tried show business, but it was the eldest who became a superstar with movies like "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday."
Dina became her combination mother and manager. Along the way, she's enjoyed enough reflected glow from her daughter's stardom to get a second-hand sunburn.
She worked for the syndicated "Entertainment Tonight" show as a red carpet "reporter," and claimed in bios that she was once a Radio City Rockette although the landmark theater says it has no record of her high-kicking on the big stage.
A Harper's Bazaar profile earlier this year, complete with provocative photos of the 40-something mom, found Dina boasting about living the American dream. And while she told George Clooney that she was Lindsay's assistant, rather than a parent, Dina insists she's no "party mom."
Yet Michael Lohan has insulted on a number of occasions that his estranged wife may have been drinking or using drugs, possibly with Lindsay — claims Dina has vehemently denied.

Lopez wins $200,000 damages from ex
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Jennifer Lopez has been awarded nearly $545,000 in a lawsuit against her first husband, Ojani Noa, over his plans to publish a tell-all book claiming she had several affairs.
A court-ordered arbitrator made the decision in April in Lopez's breach-of-contract lawsuit against Noa, court papers filed Monday indicated. The figure includes $200,000 in damages, with the rest going for arbitration costs and attorneys' fees.
Lopez's lawsuit claimed that Noa had violated a previous lawsuit settlement preventing him from revealing private information about their relationship.
The arbitrator also decided a permanent injunction should be awarded against Noa that would bar him from "criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging or causing disparagement" to the singer-actress.
Noa also would be directed to give Lopez all copies of materials related to the book.

Telling a 62-year-old story
》 DOCUMENTARY
Film includes formerly banned footage of post-detonation in Hiroshima
BY DAVID BAUDER
Associated Press
NEW YORK — It's hard to imagine HBO's disturbing documentary on survivors of the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan appearing on an American TV network 10 or 20 years after the event. Filmmaker Steve Okazaki tried — and failed — to make it for the 50th anniversary.
There's apparently enough emotional scar tissue built up to allow HBO's premiere of "White Light/ Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" tonight at 7 p.m., exactly 62 years after the
United States detonated the firstever nuclear bomb over Hiroshima. The second, and so far last, atomic bomb was dropped three days later. It ended World War II.
"History is always worth recording and if there is a moment in history that hasn't been recorded and you're in a place where you have the resources, you should do it," said Sheila Nevins, head of HBO's documentary unit. She hopes it becomes a document of record shown in schools.
Why is the time finally right?
The uncomfortable footage of cities reduced to rubble and gro
tesquely deformed survivors has received relatively little circulation because — unlike the well-recorded Holocaust — this was something done by Americans, Nevins said.
HBO and Okazaki also felt the same urgency experienced by "The Greatest Generation" author Tom Brokaw and Ken Burns, maker of PBS' epic series on World War II coming this fall.

The film is built on stories told by 14 survivors, with childrens' pictures depicting the bombing and footage of the injured that was banned from the public for 25 years.

World War II veterans. He instead made a more personal film, "The Mushroom Club," and figured his dream was dead.
That's when he heard from Nevins.
"It was well-received intellectually, but it wasn't well-received emotionally."
When he attended a festival of bombing-related films in the 1980s, Okazaki was struck by how little survivors were heard from. People had an aversion; it was much easier to

"I was shocked when they called and said they wanted to do this film and when they described it, I realized it was the film I wanted to do for 25 years," he said.

debate whether dropping bombs that instantly killed more than 200,000 people was right or wrong.
That debate continues today. Many believe that a potential U.S. invasion
would have killed many more people if the Japanese hadn't been shocked by the bombs into surrender. Some think Japan's war effort was near an end anyway, and that the bombs were partly meant to intimidate Russia.
Theodore "Dutch" Van Kirk, navigator of the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb, is among those who believe it was necessary to end the war.

He saw Okazaki's film and didn't seem overwhelmed.
"The story about the survivors of this has been told many, many times," Van Kirk, 86, told The Associated Press. "It doesn't change. And this is just another story about survivors. I don't think there will be much reaction to it at all."
There were no advance protests. Nevins is curious about how it will be received after what she thought was a strangely dry-eyed reception at a Sundance Film Festival screening. "It was well-received intellectually but it wasn't well-received emotionally," she said.
Other than documenting the horror of war, the film carefully takes no sides on the morality of dropping the bomb. Okazaki even refuses, in an interview, to say how he personally feels about it.
"I do have strong opinions and feelings about it," he said. "But I have a stronger motivation to get these stories out. There was this empty space on the shelves under 'H'."
That's not entirely true. The 1970s film "Hiroshima Mon Amour" contained post-detonation footage. The 1989 Japanese film "Kuroi ame (Black Rain)" was about the aftermath. Reporter John Hersey's book "Hiroshima" has received wide circulation.
Something Okazaki found mystifying, and a barrier to his research, was the lingering stigma faced by bomb survivors in Japan. Perhaps it's because they remind Japanese of a time they'd rather forget; it was never fully explained to him. When he sought to interview the "Hiroshima Maidens", girls who came to the United States in the 1950s for surgery on disfigurements, the only one whod talk was a woman who now lives in the U.S.
Okazaki also found a plaque where the Nagasaki bomb detonated that said everyone within a one kilometer area was killed instantly — except an 8-year-old girl who had fallen asleep in a bomb shelter.
He tracked her down and she refused a meeting.
"Her husband only knew that she was a survivor and she felt that would hurt her husband's business and her children's job opportunities," he said. "So the story will never be told."

Rowling loses privacy case
CELEBRITIES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — A British court has rejected J.K. Rowling's lawsuit over the publication of a photo of her son that was taken on an Edinburgh street in November 2004.
The photo showed Rowling and her husband, Neil Murray, with their son, David, in a baby carriage. It appeared with a Sunday Express story on the Harry Potter author's approach to family life.
Rowling sued Express Newspapers and Big Pictures, the agency that supplied the photo, complaining their right to privacy had been violated. The couple sought damages and a ban on further publication of the photo.
Express Newspapers settled the claim. On Tuesday, judge Sir Nicholas Patten dismissed the case against the agency.
Rowling said she and Murray would appeal.
"Our aim has only been to protect our children from press intrusion
during their childhood." Rowling. "We see no legitimate reason why, as in this case, David, who was less than two years of age at the time, should have his photograph taken and then published in the press."
"We take his, and that of his siblings, privacy and safety very seriously," the statement said.
Rowling and Murray, a doctor, live in Edinburgh with David, now 4; Mackenzie, 2; and Jessica, Rowling's daughter from her first marriage.
The judge continued a temporary ban on publication of the picture.
"I have considerable sympathy for the claimant's parents and anyone else who wishes to shield their children from intrusive media attention," Patten said.
But he said the law doesn't allow them to "carve out a press-free zone for their children concerning absolutely everything they choose to do"
Rowling's seventh and final Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," was published last month.

Robin, to the bat (and salt) cave
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HUTCHINSON — Costumes once worn by Batman and other movie heroes are being featured in a new exhibit at the Kansas Underground Salt Museum.
Museum to feature superhero garb
The attraction shares its climate-controlled space with Underground Vaults and Storage, which stores movie reels and other valuables belonging to movie studios.
And at the storage company's request,
tumes worn by George Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1997 movie "Batman and Robin," as they played Batman and Mr. Freeze.
Other costumes on display
Warner Brothers Entertainment agreed to put some of its memorabilia on display.
Other costumes on display include Agent Smith from "Matrix," Snowman from the movie"Jack Frost and the Superman suit from the television series "Lois and Clark."
The exhibit already includes cos-
"Twister," the shield worn by Brad Pitt in "Troy" and a James Dean shirt from the 1956 flick "Giant" also are featured.
machine from
Linda Schmitt, executive director of the museum's parent, Reno County Historical Society, said word-of-mouth has been how most people have heard about it. Others have just stumbled onto the underground site.
"I was kind of surprised. We didn't know anything about it," said Loren Berendt, of Salina, whose family came to tour a mine recently and wound up in a costume gallery.
Berendt thought it was interesting to learn how salt was mined, but she speculated that her 9-year-old daughter, 11-year-old son and other younger visitors might find the costumes more fascinating.
The Kansas Underground Salt Museum, which opened in May has attracted more than 17,000 visitors.
Its double-decker elevator can carry about 14 visitors per car, limiting overall maximum museum attendance to about 560 visitors a day, Schmitt said.
Underground Vaults' president Lee Spence had talked to studio officials about the new museum and the possibility of lending artifacts for display.
"They came up with this," said Chris Eden, marketing manager for Underground Vaults, who was pleasantly surprised by the items.
It's possible that Warner Brothers Entertainment could renew the loan a second year, or even provide additional artifacts. Underground Vaults also counts other movie studios among its clients, so they, potentially, could loan items for display, too
"We figure this exhibit to be a big draw," said Lynnette Hilty, the museum's director of marketing.

HBO's 'John' prepares for nearing end
BY FRAZIER MOORE
Associated Press
NEW YORK—"The end is near," says John from Cincinnati.
That's what he's been saying since the HBO drama "John From Cincinnati" began, though with scant supporting evidence. John isn't big on details.
Even so, he's been proved right.
At least, one way, "John From
Cincinnati" will conclude its 10-episode run Sunday at 9 p.m. The end for sure is near.
What will the end bring? Maybe some answers about the Vost surfing family and other eccentricities in imperial Beach, Calif., during a very peculiar few days.
Maybe there will be an explanation for why, these days, long-ago surfing great Mitch Yost sometimes rises several inches off the ground.
And maybe an accounting for how Mitch's teenage grandson, Shaun, seemed to breathe life back
into a dead pet bird — and how, with Shaun left paralyzed and brain-dead from a surfing accident, the bird was able to restore him to life and full health.
Maybe the end will, at last, shed light on the mysterious stranger known up to now as John — just who he really is and where he's from — and don't bet on Cincinnati.
John seems to be the cause of all the miraculous, befuddling goingson. He sees divinely touched, the sort of guy whose savagely inflicted stab wounds healed right away. He also seems to be mentally challenged, or an idiot savant, with his choirboy wholesomeness.
"You'll know to say something but you won't know what it means," an exasperated local presses him. "You want to do something and you'll do it — but you won't understand what you did."
Why should he? As John says with his rote delivery, "Some things I know and some things I don't."
Ditto for viewers, who should know better than to count on a tidy resolution when the season, or the series, meets its imminent end.
Co-created by David Milch, "John From Cincinnati" echoes his earlier HBO series, "Deadwood," a 19th-century Western teeming with elliptical, thorny storytelling and f-word-studded lyricism.
As on "Deadwood," whose scramble for wealth was framed as a model of America's, "John" also addresses the profit motive, though in contemporary terms. It asks: Should the pristine passion of surfing — as personified by young Shaun — be corrupted by corporate sponsorships and other moneymaking deals?
"That's flipping your fins for an audience," seethes Mitch, who doesn't want his grandson selling out.
OK. Money is the root of all evil.
Fair enough.
But if that's true, why is the divinely inspired John packing a platinum
credit card with no upper limit? "Deadwood" preached the civilizing impact of the free-enterprise system, even on a wild-and-woolly mining town. Why, on "John," must a similar entrepreneurial spirit be at war with spiritualism?
What's up with all that mystic mumbo-jumbo? How come Mitch goes up in the air?
Some things I know and some things I don't. One thing I know: "John From Cincinnati" has been a confounding exercise for me as a viewer. It's a series too murky and withholding for its own good — or that of many would-be fans.
And yet ... 1, for one, have kept
returning. However confusing "John" may be — until now, anyway, before the revelation that may or may not come — it compels me to stop scratching my head long enough for a round of applause.
Applause for its originality. For its brass. For the music of its raunchy dialogue — sorry, nothing quotable here.
And, most of all, for its collection of characters. No, they aren't the equal of those who populated "Deadwood" — not as novel, rich or outrageous. But the people of "John From Cincinnati" share with one another a trait whose pervasiveness has me maddeningly fixated: They,
with almost no exception, are quite mad.
"I wanna go back to normal." Shaun told his father in a recent episode.
"The hand that you were dealt ain't going anywhere," Butchie scoffed. "Or mine ... your gram's ... gramps' ... your mom's. Or anybody else's."
Sure, they may be blessed with redemption in the final episode — though, God, I hope not. Or, instead, Butchie might be right: They ain't going anywhere, least of all within shouting distance of normal.
Some things I know and some things I don't. I don't know what "John From Cincinnati" is about.

Sheen's ex makes request
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Charlie Sheen claims ex-wife Denise Richards wants him to father a third child.
"There was a request for a donation." Sheen tells syndicated TV show "Entertainment Tonight" in an interview that was to air Tuesday night. "Without getting into it here ... there is a specific document relating to this that I am going to reserve for a court."
When asked if he would ever consider such a possibility, the 41-year-old actor says: "I would sooner, in exactly what I'm wearing, walk on the surface of the moon. Does that answer it?"
A spokeswoman for Richards, 36, wasn't immediately available for comment.
Sheen and Richards divorced last year. They have two daughters, 3-year-old Sam and 2-year-old Lola.

Discovery may be rare tomb
Underground chambers may house remains of Aztec ruler
BY MARK STEVENSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — Mexican archaeologists using ground-penetrating radar have detected underground chambers they believe contain the remains of Emperor Ahuizotl, who ruled the Aztecs when Columbus landed in the New World. It would be the first tomb of an Aztec
ruler ever found.
The find could provide an extraordinary window into Aztec civilization at its apogee. Ahuizolt (ah-WEE-zoh-tuh), an empire-builder who extended the Aztecs' reach as far as Guatemala, was the last emperor to complete his rule before the Spanish Conquest.
Accounts written by Spanish priests suggest the area was used by
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mexican archaeologists discovered chambers under this stone monolith, which might contain remains of Aztec Emperor Ahuizotl.
TOTOYA
the Aztecs to cremate and bury their rulers. But no tomb of an Aztec ruler has ever been found, in part because the Spanish conquerors built their own city atop the Aztec's ceremonial center, leaving behind colonial structures too historically valuable to remove for excavations.
A stone monolith carved with a representation of Tlaltecuhtli, the Aztec god of the earth, is seen in Mexico City. Mexican archaeologists, using ground-penetrating radar, have detected directly below the monolith, underground chambers they believe contain the remains of Emperor Ahuizotl, who ruled the Aztecs when Columbus landed in the New World.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
One of those colonial buildings was so damaged in a 1985 earthquake that it had to be torn down, eventually giving experts their first chance to examine the site off Mexico City's Zocalo plaza, between the Metropolitan Cathedral and the ruins of the Templo Mayor pyramid.
Archaeologists told The Associated Press that they have located what appears to be a six-foot-by-six-foot entryway into the tomb about 15 feet below ground. The passage is filled with water, rocks and mud, forcing workers to dig delicately while suspended from slings. Pumps work to keep the water level down.
As early as this fall, they hope to enter the inner chambers — a damp, low-ceilinged space — and discover the ashes of Abuziot, who was likely cremated on a funeral pyre in 1502.
By that time, Columbus had already landed in the New World. But the Aztecs' first contact with Europeans came 17 years later, in 1519, when Hernan Cortes and his band of conquistadors marched into the Mexico Valley and took hostage Ahuizotl's successor, his nephew Montezua.
Ahuizotil's son Cuauhtemoc (kwow-TAY-mock) took over from Montezuma and led the last resistance to the Spaniards in the battle for Mexico City in 1521. He was later taken prisoner and killed. Like Montezuma, his burial place is unknown.
Because no Aztec royal tomb has ever been found, the archaeologists are literally digging into the unknown. Radar indicates the tomb has up to four chambers, and scientists think they will find a constellation of elaborate offerings to the gods on the floor.
The tomb's curse — water — may also be its blessing. Lopez Lujan said the constant temperature of the pH-neutral water in the flooded chambers, together with the lack of oxygen, discourages decomposition of materials like wood and bone that have been found at other digs around the pyramid, which was all
but destroyed in the Conquest.
"This would be quite an important find for Aztec archaeology," said Michael Smith, an archaeologist at Arizona State University who is not connected to the dig. "It would be tremendously important because it would be direct information about kingship, burial and the empire that is difficult to come by otherwise."
All signs found so far point to
Ahuizol. The site lies directly below
a huge, recently discovered stone monolith carved with a representation of Taltecuhtuil (tlahl-tay-KOO-tree), the Aztec god of the earth.
Depicted as a woman with huge claws and a stream of blood flowing into her mouth as she squats to give birth, Tlaltecuhtli was believed to devour the dead and then give them new life. In the claw of her right foot, the god holds a rabbit and 10 dots.

TRADITIONS
Be true crimson and blue
Every tradition Jayhawks should know
BY JOE CAPONIO jcaponio@kansan.com
The Jayhawk:
had come to be known as a symbol synonymous with the people who made Kansas a free state where slavery would be illegal. When the KU football players first took the field in 1890, they were called "Jayhawkers," and the University has been affiliated with the bird ever since.
E OF THE PHOTO
For years, the Kansas Jayhawk has been one of the most recognizable mascots in the nation. The term "Jayhawk" dates back to the 1840s, when settlers in Kansas created the mythical bird by combining the blue jay with the sparrow hawk. By the end of the Civil War, the Jayhawk
During the past century, the Jayhawk has undergone several changes. The logo has been changed six times since 1912, including last year when the font of the letters "KU"

The Rock Chalk Chant:
Theodore Roosevelt, former president of the United States, once said that this instantly recognizable chant was "the greatest chant I've ever heard." The chant dates back to 1866, when KU chemistry professor E.H.S. Bailey and his associates were on a train from Wichita to Lawrence. Along the way, they passed the time by trying to create a stirring cheer, and eventually came up with the chant. At the time, the cheer was "Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KU"
I will use a code block to format the text as requested. Please provide the image of the text.
The text in the image is:
Less than a decade later, "Rah.
Rah" was replaced by "Rock Chalk" because it rhymed with Jayhawk and was symbolic of the limestone surrounding the Lawrence campus.
To this day, the chant is used at all University sporting events. However, most people know the chant from when it is used at the end of KU basketball games when the Jayhawks have locked up a victory in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Alma Mater:
The University's official alma mater was written in 1891 and

named "The Crimson and the Blue." Professor George Barlow Penny used the melody from Cornell University's alma mater ("Far Above Cayuga's Waters") and changed the words to create the song. Today, it is sung before every home football and basketball game, with the students holding on to each other and swaying from side to side as they sing.
Far above the golden valley Glorious to view, Stands our noble Alma Mater, Towering toward the blue.
CHORUS:
Lift the chorus ever onward,
Crimson and the blue
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater
Hail to old KU.
Far above the distant humming Of the busy town, Reared against the dome of heaven. Looks she proudly down.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Greet we then our foster mother,
Noble friend so true.
We will ever sing her praises,
Hail to old KU.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
The Fight Song:
The University's fight song, titled "I'm a Jayhawk," was written in 1912. Music student George Bowles was looking to make a contribution to the University during his senior year, so he created the song. It took nearly a decade, but the piece eventually became a hit with students.
Talk about the Sooners
The Cowboys and the Buffs,
Talk about the Tiger and his tail,
Talk about the Wildcats,
and those Cornhuskin' boys, But I'm
the bird to make 'em weep and wail
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,
Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Up at Lawrence on the Kaw
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,
Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
With a sis-boom, hip hoorah.
Got a bill that's big enough
To twist the Tiger's tail
Husk some corn and listen
To the Cornhusker's wail-
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay,
Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Riding on a Kansas gale.

Leaving high school doesn't mean you have to leave behind athletic activities.
The Student Recreation and Fitness Center offers a comprehensive schedule of sports to participate in throughout the duration of the school year.
Jason Krone, director of sports programs and activities, said it is important to bring in as much of the general population as possible.
ticipate in all intramural activities. Before the start of last school year, all intramural sports had been free but former intramurals director Kurt Schooley said "costs incurred to pay officials led to the re-installment of intramural fees."
For the fall, six individual sports and eight team sports will be offered. An individual or team can sign up online through the Student Recreation Center's Web site. You must have a current KU 1D to parthe allotted slots to play, you will be placed on a waiting list in case a team does not pay to play by the payment deadline.
Depending on the sport, costs varies from being completely free to $20 for team sports like flag football. The intramural department can connect a person with a team through their free agency option on the sign-up page if a person does not have enough members to create a team.
For the larger draws like soccer, flag football, and basketball, it is imperative to sign up in the limited amount of spaces for each sport. If you do not make it into one of
With the addition of the new area on the north of the recreation center, Krone said more spots should be available for larger numbers of people to participate but that will not take affect until the project's completion in 2008.

The best places to eat around town
N
From pizza, wings, burgers, there's plenty of variety in town
The Mexican food restaurant LaParrilla, 814 Massachusetts St., is one of the more popular restaurants in Lawrence. Several eateries in town aim their selections and prices for college students.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Students who are new to Lawrence often look for the best places to eat in town. Here are 10 popular, student-recommended local restaurants. The list is diverse. It includes a little for every taste — from pizza to Chinese food. Enjoy.
Rudy's Pizzeria
Students can buy a slice of pizza, a salad and a drink for less than 55 at this pizza place, located at 704 Massachusetts St. Jade Hoollowway, Belleville, senior, said she would recommend students to go there for the cool environment and good pizza. But if the environment does not matter to you, they deliver.
Hours: Mon- Sat, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Sun. noon, to 10 p.m.
Free State Brewery
Price Range: $5 -$ 20
This restaurant, at 636 Massachusetts
St, was the first legal brewery in Kansas—the law prohibiting alcohol was no longer in effect. After 18 years, it is still one of students' favorite places to eat in Lawrence. Allison Willis, Lawrence senior, said that what makes Free State great is that it's popular with college students, but it's a more relaxed environment than the average student hang out.
Hours: Mon- Sat. 11 a.m. to midnight. Sun. noon to 11 p.m.
Jade Garden
Price Range. 305-417 This Chinese restaurant, 1410 Kasold Dr., has the best sweet and sour chicken and crab rangoons in town, says Molly Easley, Lawrence senior. The portion sizes will not leave students hungry and the prices will not leave them poor.
**Hours:** Mon. - Sat. 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Sunday: Noon to 10 p.m.
Jefferson's
Price Range: $6 -$ 15
The decoration at this restaurant,
743 Massachusetts St., stands out. The walls are covered with costumer-decorated dollar bills. Robert Lee, Dallas senior, said that he recommends eating the wings at Jefferson's.

Zen Zero
Price Range: $6 -$ 16

Thurs. - Sat. 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
23rd Street Brewery
Price Range: $7 -$ 21
Amanda Dierckes, Agra senior, said that the 23rd Street Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway, is far from downtown but worth the drive. The brewery has a variety of foods that range from salad to pizza to steak.
"I like it because they have good food and beer specials," Dierckes said.
Hours: Mon.- Sat.: 11 a.m.- 2 a.m.
Sun.: 11 a.m.- midnight
Combino's Italian Cafe
Price Range: $8 -$ 16
If students are in the mood for Italian food, you can go to Bambino's Whitney Young, Lawrence resident, said that University students have to eat at this restaurant before they graduate.

Hours Mon. - Sat.: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
noon, noon to 10 p.m.
Yello Sub
Price Range: $5 -$ 10

"They are the bestubs in this town," Tack said. "I know people who come out of town and the first thing they say is 'te me to yellow sub." Hours: Sun. - Thurs. 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fri. - Sat. 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Self focused on upcoming season
Coach talks about recruiting efforts Rush's recovery, golf game
BY DYLAN SCHOONOVER skills
dschoonover@kansan.com
The pressure-filled rollercoaster of elated fans and nay-saying tournament critics biting at the coat tails of coach Bill Self can leave him little chance to catch his breath during the school year.
The Kansan sat down with coach Self during the summer when his basketball camps had ended and the July recruiting rat race was just about to take form.
Kansan: Where are you at on the recruiting trail right now?
Self: Right now we have five seniors on the team and we certainly could lose two more to the NBA early so we are looking at very large recruiting class — potentially seven to eight scholarships.
Kansan: No coach takes losing well. Every time the Jayhawks lose how long does it take for you to get past it?
Self: You never like to lose, but it depends on how we lost. Sometimes we play really well during a loss, like when we lost to Texas Tech at their place a couple years back, or Georgia Tech in the Elite Eight my first year here. It's not as hard to take those loses because we played solid basketball - just didn't come out with the win.
"It's not as hard to take those loses because we played solid basketball just didn't come out with the win."
BILL SELF
Men's basketball coach
Kansan: This summer, USC's head coach Tim Floyd offered Ryan Boatright, an 8th grade a basketball scholarship. Is that too young? Would you offer a kid that young a scholarship?
Kansan: Rush's injury before the draft eliminated him from being able to try to make the jump to the NBA. What did you tell him to better his spirits?
Self: I think he probably warranted a scholarship. I personally haven't seen this kid. If he had the skills like a Danny Manning, then yeah, I would. I do think it can become too long of a commitment for both sides at that young of an age though.
Self: I told him it's no one's fault. It would have been really bad if it had happened a couple weeks later during draft camps. This way he has the opportunity to come back and address work ethic.
Kansan: Where can Rush get better?
Self: Certainly ball handling and passing. We are going into this year thinking it should be his last. He has the ability to get his own shot if he can just tighten up his handling
K an s a n :
During the summer, Big 12 Commissioner Kevin Weiberg stepped down, how does that affect the Big 12?
Self: Well Kevin served the league very well for nine years. We've got great schools
and great rivalries, the league will be fine. Dan Beebe should be a great commissioner.
Kansan: During the summer you like to play golf, how often do you get to play?
Self: I'd say I play about 30 times. Now that's spread out — it may be 12 times in May, 5 in June and more later on.
Kansan: If you had the chance to play a Pro-Am with a professional golfer who would you choose?
Self: I'd have to say Tiger. I'm totally amazed by his talent level. I'd love to get to see approach and how he handles competition.
Kansan: Did you have a nickname when you were younger?
Self: Still Bill. I don't really know why I was given that but it stuck.
Kansan: Where are you wanting your kids to college?
Self: I want my daughter to go here.
She may branch out since I'm here. If not she wasn't she goes to KU.

Sledding down Campanile Hill is a tradition many students participate in, especially when heavy snow falls on campus. Students use trays, sleds and cookie sheets to slide down the hill.
Jayhawk tradition, and the only way to guarantee you'll score the best seats in Allen Fieldhouse. No student section is rowdier, more passionate or loyal than the student section at the fieldhouse. Don your Kansas blue, make a clever sign and cheer on your Jayhawks.

Sled down Campanile Hill
Wait for those inevitable mid- January snow or ice storms. And if you're lucky enough that the University shuts down and cancels classes, round up your trash can lids, cookie sheets or actual sleds and head for a hill on campus. The Campanile hill is the most popular campus location for wintertime sledding.
Play in the Chi Omega fountain
Located at the intersection of West Campus Road and Jayhawk Boulevard, the Chi Omega fountain is the best spot on campus to kick off your sandals, roll up your jeans and splash around like you're five years old again. The fountain generally runs from April through September, so splash around while you can.

Call the Free-for-All and pass along shout-outs, advice, great jokes or whatever's on your mind in the 20-second time limit. And if The Kansan editor's dig it, you'll see your words on the opinion page.
Wave the wheat at a football
Join in on one of the nation's most unique touchdown celebrations. Though the Kansas football team hasn't been much to cheer for recently, you're likely to get an opportunity to wave your arms in the air and turn Memorial Stadium into a waving wheatfield.
Make an early exit from class
Gone are the days of hall passes. At the University, students are allowed to come and go as they please. Your classmates will certainly watch, remember and even scorn you for
at least five minutes. Style points for staring at the professor as you make your exit.
Join a club sports team
The Student Recreation and Fitness Center offers dozens of recreational sports for students to participate in. Get together with some friends and join the hundreds who try compete each semester.
Arrange a tryst in Watson Library
The cool, secluded aisles of Watson Library make for much more than just a great study spot. Whatever the nature of your rendezvous, remember: Keep as quiet (as possible) in the library.
Have a beer at The Crossing
The near-campus landmark watering hole might be closing in the near future, so cut that afternoon class and head to The Crossing with friends and experience a true campus tradition.

UNIVERSITY
Chatting with Chancellor Hemenway

Chancellor Robert Hemenway smiles during a speech. Chancellor Hemenway talked with the Kansan before the start of the 2007-2008 school year.

Many changes occurred at the University while students were on summer vacation. A new tuition and deferred maintenance plan were put into action as well as initiatives towards running a more environmentally friendly campus. Chancellor Robert Hemenway spoke with The Kansan about the new directions the University is exploring and his expectations for the 2007-2008 school year.
Kansan: What plans does the University have for this year?
Hemenway: I think there a few things we want to do. We want to do some more strategic planning; really looking far into future and deciding what KU students can do to be prepared for the future. I would say some strategic planning and we are going to try and get a group that's going to be taking a close look at the KU admission standards and speculating at what we think those should be and speculating about weather of not KU should have different or higher admission standards. (We will look at) other schools like KU and see what kind of admin standards they have and if they apply to us in some way.
Strategic planning, looking at admission standards and I would say the University being involved in the life sciences initiatives that come out of our medical center and pharmacy school and the programs that we have there.
Kansan: Are there going to be any big changes with admission standards?
Hemenway: We are not looking at any dramatic changes. We are just looking at other institutions like us and see what their admission standards are and how that compares to what will be appropriate for KU.
Kansan: The Four-Year Tuition Compact — what do you think that will bring to the University?
Hemenway: I think that's a terrific program, it's a program what will help hold tuition down in single digits. And it is also going to guarantee that students can predict what tuition and fees are going to cost them.
Kansan: What about the five-year deferred maintenance plan?
Hemenway: That has been on our list this year and will be again next year because the Legislature has given us some money to address deferred maintenance problems, but not really enough to have a big impact on it.
Kansan: And the "going green" trend? Hemenway: Talking about using grease from the housing department and to adapt that to the buses. I think that's a good item to mention, that is, we probably are going to go green much more in the future than
we have done in the past.
Kansan: What are you expectations for the 2007-2008 school year?
Hemenway: Well, we have a lot of successful programs going forward, so part of my expectations are that we continue to do what has lead to our success in the past. And that is to give students the kind of challenge KU is famous for. One thing they will like about the tuition compact is it encourages them to finish their studies in four years. I think they will be more focused on finishing KU in four years.
Kansan: What is your favorite thing about University?
Hemenway: One of the things I like the best about the University is how we chalk on the sidewalks and communicate with people. That is an environmentally effective tool and it helps build a sense of community. People come out with their chalk and communicate with each other about what is going on. I have always thought that was a kind of charming tradition at KU.
Kansan: What is your favorite thing about your job as chancellor?
Hemenway: I get to meet a lot of very interesting students. I think that is the most fun. [There are] 3,000 students each year that you have the potential to get to know, you don't get to know all of them but you can meet a lot of them. And I think students share in what their hopes for the future are and maybe occasionally offer some sage
advice that they could find useful.
Kansan: What advice do you have for incoming freshmen?
Hemenway: Well, my advice would be very practical. Sit at the front of the class, make sure you do your homework, stay up with doing your homework each day, and make sure that you have some fun along the way.
Kansan: What about for graduating seniors?
down to the time where they are going to have to make that decision
Hemenway: My advice to graduating seniors is consciously think about what kind of profession they would like to get into, because it is getting
Kansan: What would your definition of a Javahawk be?
Hemenway: My definition of Jayhawk would be somebody who really cares about the University who believes in its traditions and who wants to share the success of Jawhawk education with their fellow students and people that they meet.
Kansan: In your commencement speech for last May's graduation, you mentioned the strong connection students and KU alumni have with being
a Jayhawk and the logo itself.
Hemenway: I think that is one of the strongest things about KU, everyone identifies with being a Jawhawk. You know they wear the clothes, they buy the license plates, they talk to other people about what a great University it is, and all those things make it pretty special to be a Jayhawk. I think what the Jayhawk as a logo does is give you an immense pride in all the things that a Jayhawk stands for — friendship, community, good bas-
— friendship, community, good basketball teams, a good football team and a beautiful campus.

STORY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13
Editor's note: During the ongoing construction at Wescoe Hall, Kansan reporter Tyler Harbert recovered papers from several empty first floor offices. The papers turned out to be graded blue books and essays, along with add/drop forms. All documents contained student information, some including grades and identification numbers.
The story below is Harbert's account of how the materials were left in public and the University's response. All documents were returned to the University for disposal.
When construction began on the first floor of Wescoe Hall in early July, doors were flung wide, furniture hauled out and debris scattered.
Left to the wave of office remodeling was anything the former occupants didn't deem worthy of saving. Some of those items included blue books, graded student essays and schedule change forms containing student names and identification numbers.
"We regret it," said Lynn Bretz, director of University communications. "It should not have hap-
pened."
A number of private records can be accessed with a student's school identification number.
Calls were made to several offices, including the Bursar's Office, Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Office of the University Registrar, in an attempt to access records over the phone using only the reporter's name and identification number.
The Bursar's Office released financial information, including tuition balance as well as scholarship and financial aid information.
The Office of the University Registrar said an online form
would need to be filled out to get a transcript copy. The reporter said he could put his address, name and student identification number on the

use disclosure of information form at www.studenthealth.ku.edu.
"We do compare signatures," Gillespie said. "If we have any concerns we call that person ask them to come in and show identification."
He said students trying to access their records do not have to go to the center in person.
"We take this very seriously," Gillespie said. "There have been times we've had a concern and we say to the person, 'We need to see your face.'"
"We regret it. It shouldn't have happened."

Aaron Childers, a supervisor with Olathe-based RMT Construction Co., which was contracted for the Wescoe remodeling, said all of the desks and materials
that could be salvaged from downstairs Wescoe were kept or recycled.
"Basically when we took this space our contract said anything here was ours to dispose of," Childers said.
He said all of the notebooks and paperwork

before.
The documents that weren't taken to the quarry have remained locked in The Kansan newsroom and removed only to contact the students they belong to.
"Honestly, I don't know what it was doing there in the first place," said Rachel Hoge, Olathe senior, when told that a schedule change form belonging to her was recovered in Wescoe.
The form was dated and stamped March 5, 2007 by the Office of the University Registrar. Hoge filled out the document, complete with her confidential student identification number, to withdraw from an English class she had been taking.
Hoge said knowing her information was floating around wasn't comforting, but she wasn't concerned it would fall into the wrong hands.
"We do compare signatures. If we have any concerns we call that person and ask them to come in and show identification."
"Maybe it was an accident," she said. "I'm not super worried about it."

n of major form was lost," she said. "I couldn't enroll and I had to do it. I don't know if they misplaced it or what."
Her schedule change form, dated and stamped April 19, 2007 by the Office of the University Registrar, was also used to
drop an English class.
"I had too heavy of a load and that class was the most time consuming so I withdrew." Fetter said.
She said she wasn't too concerned her private information would be stolen from her because most offices require a password to access that information, but she said that doesn't mean she wants her number leaked.
"That's kind of weird; kind of makes me feel uncomfortable," Fetter said. "It shouldn't be sitting around in the basement of Wescoe."
Bretz said the mistake was an opportunity for the University to reiterate the importance of student privacy to people as they return from summer break.
Bretz said there was no University-wide policy on the disposal of students' materials, but that the process was done differently from school to school.
She said the University wanted to annualize its privacy training and ensure the message gets through to all of the schools.

HEALTH
Stay healthy using local facilities
Lawrence, surrounding area offer plenty of options for flu-like symptoms to major problems
WATKINS MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER
1200 BOYNTONLEY DRIVE
Watkins Memorial Health Center offers health treatments for students. Located on campus, students can get treatment and pick up prescriptions.
BY JOE CAPONIO
jcaponio@kansan.com
Being surrounded by nearly 30,000 strangers on a daily basis, you're bound to catch the sniffles every once in a while on campus, whether it be in the class room, in the residence halls or just passing by someone on Wesco Beach. Unfortunately, some will come down with ailments of a more serious variety.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
But those hypochondriacs out there shouldn't fret. Should you happen to be stricken with some sort of illness or injury during your time at the University, there are several places in Lawrence where you can go to help treat whatever it is that's keeping you under the weather.
WATKINS MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER:
As the campus' health center, Watkins is located just east of Robinson Gymnasium on Schwegler Drive. Watkins will provide urgent
care to anyone, but only KU students, faculty and staff can make appointments. Students help cover the costs of Watkins when they pay their Student Health Fees at the start of each semester.
The center includes an allergy clinic, laboratory, pharmacy, general medicine clinic and physical therapy room for students to rehabilitate injuries. The staff at Watkins gives routine exams, as well as immunization and radiology.
Watkins is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sundays from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters.
More information about Watkins can be found at www.studenthealth.ku.edu.
LAWRENCE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL:
As the largest medical center in the area, LMH offers more than 100 different services, ranging from administration of oxygen to
pulmonary testing. LMH is also the home of Lawrence's only 24-hour emergency room. LMH has been serving Lawrence since 1921, and has been located at its current location, 325 Maine Street, since 1977.
HEALTH CARE ACCESS CLINIC:
Even for those without health care, there is somewhere to turn when medical treatment is necessary. At the Health Care Access Clinic, 1920 Moodie Rd., the staff has been helping residents with limited financial means since 1988.
Any Douglas County resident with limited income and no health care is eligible for an appointment or walkin. The clinic, which is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.on weekdays, offers primary health care services, medication assistance, and x-rays.
FIRST MED:
For those living on the south side of Lawrence, First Med is a
family practice and walk-in care center. Located at 2323 Ridge Court near the intersection of Iowa and 23rd streets, the facility is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. 362 days a year.
The clinic offers laceration repair, dermatological surgery and help with fitness and weight loss, among other services.

Get into shape and stay there
Avoiding the Freshman 15 is made easier with workout facilities on campus

While most people can giggle about this bubbly pop song from the infamous Jessie Spano episode on "Saved by the Bell," it is no joke that exercise is the way to avoid gaining unwanted weight.
Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition services for Watkins Memorial Health Center, said stu
dents have some trouble managing alcohol, partying and high-fat foods. Chapman said students need to make sure they do not skip meals and get enough sleep to insure they can make their schuelded work-outs.
Jennifer Devlin, Lawrence senior, does inclined presses in the free-weight section of the new Student Recreation Fitness Center. Many students are upset about the small area allotted to freeweights.
Chapman said students should follow the food pyramid and eat four to five times a day.
"Students must actively practice time management in order to bring balance and structure to the new college experience as a freshman.
Amber Long, Fitness Coordinator at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center, said the small things students can do to stay fit are walk to class, eat more fruits and vegetables, and exercise everyday.
"The CDC recommends that Americans should exercise for at least 60 minutes at moderate intensity most days of the week" Long said. "Take time off to rest, but make sure to
"The best way to fit exercise in is to schedule it in as though it were a class you've enrolled in. And choose something you enjoy doing, not something you do because you think it will burn more calories." Chapman said. "Some students benefit from fitness classes, but others like to exercise alone. Either way is fine, but it's important to start off exercising when the semester begins, so it is always a part of your routine."

Chapman also said it is important to follow the "Better Bites" program on campus. Students can find the "Better Bites" logo next to food that is considered to be a healthier option.

Though some students have trouble finding time to work out, Long said, "Students must actively practice time management in order to bring balance and structure to the new college experience as a freshman. Exercise typically helps students manage time and stay focused."
Long's best tip for keeping off unwanted weight was to keep everything in moderation. She said students must pay attention to portion size and exercise regularly.
"Find a routine filled with healthy options and do what works best for you," Long said.

Class teaches financial freedom
New course offered for first time
BY MAGGIE VANBUSKIRK
mvanbuskirk@kansan.com
Hussein said students will also learn about buying and renting houses, protecting their assets and exploring the fundamentals of investments, like in stocks, bonds and mutual funds. The course concludes with discussions about retirement issues and estate planning. Hussein said it is important that when looking at budgeting and financial planning, students need to be looking at the future.
Beginning this semester, the University is offering Personal Finance 101 for non-business majors.
The class is available to students who have fewer than 60 college credit hours, to teach them about budgeting.
Samira Hussein, who is teaching the class, said class is about learning the fundamentals of financial planning by addressing financial goals and learning about money management. Students will learn about dealing with financial institutions and the lure of credit cards.
"It is very beneficial for the students to find the best financial institutions for their needs, and learn about why and how they can make their money work for them by planning early in life," Hussein said. "In other words, begin with the end in mind."
For students not enrolled in the class, Hussein offers some tips about budgeting to help students get through the school year.
Do not start a budget before lining up your financial goals.
Make your budget realistic, measurable and have a time frame for your budget.
Actively monitor your budget. It is a journey not an end.
You are the manager of your budget manage it professionally. Ask yourself this, would you hire yourself based on the way you manage your financial life?

》 ORGANIZATIONS
Groups are good way to get involved
More than 500 registered organizations on campus cater to a variety of interests, activities
BY TYLER HARBERT tharbert@kansan.com
Students might want to join social organizations for a variety of different reasons.
Aaron Quisenberry, associate director for the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said some of those reasons include taking on leadership roles, playing sports or other activities, or just making new friends.
"The mission of the group can be all over the place," Quisenberry said.
He said 532 groups are registered with the leadership center and students can navigate through
them by going to www.ku.edu, and searching for student organizations.
A drop-down box to search for specific type of groups is also on the student organization Web site,

so students can sift through religious, academic or other types of groups.

There are sports clubs that travel and compete, there are
He also said group budgets range from nothing to $15,000 depending on what the groups are involved in.
Quisenberry said groups range in size from just a few friends getting together to play chess, to a group like KU Bands that has hundreds of members.
goal-setting groups that help students plan how to graduate or lose weight, and there are groups that discuss world issues like KU for Uganda, Quisenberry said.
Bryan Reynolds, a recent graduate from Hays, said he joined the group three years ago and has put on shows in Kansas City and Hays and has made a film with the group about a fake Christian Rock Group, which he put on YouTube.

The group had eight members but lost some to graduation, so it's going to hold auditions for new members during the fall semester, Reynolds_ said. He said interested students should go to the group's Web site and e-mail him.
"Our main purpose is to give students experience with combat you'd see in movies," said Jeremy Riggs, Lawrence senior.
Another student group, Jayhawk Stunt Works, is a group that tries to both educate and be physical.
"If there's something you want to do and it's not there, come to our office."
"No experience necessary," he said. "If you enjoy making people laugh, show up and we'll show you what to do."
Riggs said his group picks a different area of focus every semester

The group usually has 12-

Talking with the leader of Larrytown
Lawrence mayor Sue Hack discusses everything from her history to important city issues
BY TYLER HARBERT tharbert@kansan.com
The Kansan recently sat down with Mayor Sue Hack to give University students the chance to get to know their elected official and discuss city issues. Hack, a University alumnus, is serving for the second time as mayor.
Kansan: How long have you severed in different political and public roles?
Hack: I taught school for 34 years and I taught English, geography, history and social studies. They were mostly ninth graders. In terms of volunteer opportunities citywide I served on the Sister Cities
SUE HACK
MAYOR
Hack: I came to KU in 1965 and was here until January 1970 when I graduated with a degree in education. I returned back home to St. Louis and taught there for a year and a half, and then my husband and I were married in 1971 and then I came to Lawrence to teach and to live here. We've been here ever since. His family's here. Often a typical resident will say, "Well I went to KU and I just didn't want to leave."
"The outreach of this community is really important and it is a forward-looking community and that is in large part because of the University."
SUE HACK
Lawrence Mayor
Kansan: What are some key issues in Lawrence that students should know about?
Board and then the Parks and Rec Advisory Board. I worked on a number of commission candidates' campaigns in the mid 1990s and by the late 1990s I began to think about running myself. I ran in the spring of 2001 for my first term as city commissioner and I served for four years and then ran for my second term in 2005 and my five years will be up in 2009.
Hack: I think one of the things we work with a great deal is land use issues. The University of Kansas is one of

the few if not the only University that has a land use agreement with the community in which it exists. That's really significant because two years ago the University drew boundaries around its property. Within those boundaries the University can build to the extent that it needs to without having to go through all of the planning and permitting, but they also agreed that outside of that boundary, they would work with the city
Mayor Sue Hack takes her position at a Lawrence City Commission meeting. Hack is a long-time Lawrence resident.
As a community, we're always dealing with growth that doesn't become sprawl and has a certain amount of density to it. Retail issues, safety downtown and safety in our neighborhoods. I think the domestic partnership registry certainly is something that University students would be interested in knowing that we have and we're the first community in the state of Kansas to have.
Kansan: What are some of the toughest challenges you've faced while in office?
Hack: The ones that create the most community angst are those that deal with land use. Always. That's very true of any University town because you have a lot of engaged people. The balance between growth and uncontrolled growth really is oftentimes in the eye of the beholder. The South Lawrence Trafficway is probably the one that has raised overall as a continuing issue the most concern.
Kansan: What are some of the most rewarding aspects of your job?

love being able to go into classrooms and talk about Lawrence and what it's like to be mayor. I recently had an experience reading to some third graders at Deerfield Elementary School, about 60 of them, and we talked about Lawrence and Lawrence history and they had studied Quantrill and we talked about the Eldridge. They knew so many things about what the city did, probably more than most of the adults in this community, which was really exciting. So I got about 60 beautifully written thank you notes and they were wonderful. One of them said, "Mrs. Hack, thank you very much for coming. I didn't know that you knew Quantrill." Apparently I was a little too effective in my conversation about Quantrill. It was very cute. Those are fun things.
hope that University students feel comfortable in talking to the elected officials of the community in which they live and take part for however long they're here. We also have a number of advisory boards that KU students are welcome to apply to.
Kansan: If students want to get involved with city issues or they have questions, what should they do?
Hack: I'm always open to e-mails or phone conversations. I would
Kansan: What do you hope students will take with them when they leave the University?
Hack: I would hope they understand they're coming from a wonderful University that's going to give them a broad base of education. But I hope they also know that Lawrence is a pretty remarkable community. Our community reaches out to help fund things like Boys and Girls Club and after school programs and the community shelters. The outreach of this community is really important and it is a forward-looking community and that is in large part because of the University. I think the partnership between the city and the University is vital.

Keeping an open mind will help make the transition to living in residence halls a smooth one
BY ALAIDE VILCHIS IBARRA
avilchis@kansan.com
Moving away from home can be an overwhelming experience for students. To help the transition, former resident assistants and people who have residence hall experience have some advice.
Here are a few things that will make surviving in the residence halls a lot easier. Students will get tips on rules to follow and how to get along with roommates.
First off, one of the commonly forgotten, yet important, items to bring to the residence halls are flip-flops to take showers, said Michelle Risky, former resident assistant at Oliver Hall. She said that in a community environment, there can be a lot germs floating around.
"Students forget small things," Risskey said. "You are living in a community environment, flip-flops make a big difference."
She also recommended that students have snack food in their residence halls for study sessions and those times when a meal is not really necessary. As far as what not to bring to the residence halls, Diana Roberts, student housing director, said that students should not bring candles, George Foreman Grills or extension cords because student housing prohibits them.
Josh Spradlin, former RA and deskie, said that loud stereos are also not a good idea to bring to dorms because "nobody wants to hear how cool the bass in your stereo is at three in the morning."
He also recommended having more than one form of identification at all times because the residence halls will not use KU IDs because they have money from meal plans.
Roberts said one of the biggest concerns for freshmen living in the residence halls was how they were going to deal with their roommates.
"Your roommate doesn't have to become your best friend, it just has to be someone that will respect the other person," Rissky said.
Even if students have nothing in common with their roommates, they can still make the living arrangements work. But, Rissky said, it is important to keep an open mind.
"The best way to approach the situation is to be open about who you are, communicate what your needs are, be willing to compromise, be willing to communicate, get to know each other." Roberts said.
Roberts recommended that the rules be set from the start to prevent a big incident from happening.
She said that if a big problem did arise, there was always an RA that could help solve it. That is why it is
very important to get to know your RA.
"If you are confused, they know most of the answers to your questions, so try to get to know them," Spradlin said. "But remember that they are people too."
Another concern of incoming freshmen is how to make friends in the residence halls.
"When you first move into a dorm, get to know everyone on your floor because you are going to see them the rest of your career," Spradlin said.
She said that friendships come naturally because other residents are going through the same change.
Rissky said the best way to meet people is to leave the room door open so other residents could come in and talk.
Risky added that it was also important to meet people in classes because they were the ones who would be helping with homework and pulling all-nighters with students.
Spradlin said the trick of living in the residence halls is no trick at all, but rather just using common courtesy.
"More than anything, as longs as you are cool about it and respectful, you will be fine."

Patrick Huse graduated from the University in May with a degree in finance. Unsure of what to do next with his life, and spurred by an already lucrative side-career in online poker, Huse headed to Las Vegas for the summer.
The Omaha native turned a victory at a satellite, a smaller tournament that feeds into a bigger one, into a spot at the $10,000 buyin World Series of Poker Main Event. Huse then became the latest Internet

whiz kid to take a run at the game's most hallowed title, peaking as the tournament's chip leader on the second day, before finishing 128th and winning $58,570.
Huse came to the University as a novice in poker. He began playing competitively in cash games on the third floor of McCollum Hall. He soon began playing cash games online.
"I really enjoyed playing poker when I was in college because you can play whenever you want." Huse said. "You don't have any responsibilities as far as going to work."
Huse quickly accumulated tens of thousands of dollars.
"My friends and I have all bought some crazy things," Huse said. "We all have big screen TVs. One thing poker players are extravagant about is their computers. My computer is really expensive. It's stupid. It's like buying a Ferrari to drive down your neighborhood street or something

like that."
Garnett, has lived with Huse for the last year and stayed with him in Las Vegas. He said saving money after big wins was difficult.
"It's very weird to know you can buy about whatever you feel like; expensive computers, TVs, electronics, cars, whatever," Beckman said. "Sometimes it is hard to not spend a lot right after a big win. The toughest part about making money young is keeping a hold of it."
poker had dropped out of school.
Huse estimated that 80 percent of the college-aged poker players he knew that had success at online
"That is one of the worst drawbacks of poker," Huse said. "I know a lot of kids that have dropped out of college due to poker. My grades suffered, definitely. I graduated with an OK GPA, but I would have had a lot higher GPA if I didn't play poker. I win $5,000 or lose$ 5,000 in a day and I don't feel like doing my homework some days."

Homework was not a major concern for Huse at the 12-day Main Event in Las Vegas.
Huse said the most intimidating aspect of the Main Event was its mystique.
"It's kind of a surreal experience because when I started playing poker I watched the World Series telecasts," Huse said. "So it was kind of surreal being at that tournament and playing in it, especially late when I had so many chips in front of me."
Despite playing in his first Main Event, Huse didn't set out with a strategy.
"Experienced players know that you can't really have a strategy," he said. "Obviously in tournament play you have to be really aggressive, but you just have to see who is at your table and what the players are capable of."
"In this tournament there are so many amateurs, I just never really felt like I wasn't one of the best players at the table."
Huse ended day one of the Main Event with about $40,000 in chips, when the average player had about$ 55,000. Day two would be much more lucrative and give Huse the highlight of his tournament, courtesy of poker star Gus Hansen, nicknamed, "The Great Dane."
"Late in the day, I had just won a really big pot and I was up to about $455,000 chips," Huse said. "They came over the loudspeaker, and they say, 'We have a new chip leader, his name is Gus Hansen.' They said he had$ 445,000 chips and
I am sitting there with $455,000 chips. Then everyone at my table was kind of like, 'Hey we have the chip leader!'
Day three wouldn't prove as kind. Huse was two-uttered on two occasions, poker vernacular for when all the money is in the pot and a trailing opponent only has two cards remaining in the deck that can win the hand and beats the odds.
Huse battled back more than $500,000 in chips early on day four. But he could not avoid misfortune when he called an all-in late in the day with pocket kings. His opponent flipped over aces, which held. Huse's charmed run was over.
"Anyone in the world would have done what I did, so I can't really say that I played bad," Huse said.
Beckman is a full-time Internet poker pro and said he believed Huse's laid-back demeanor helped him in the WSOP, where some players become overwhelmed by the large number of players and variances of luck.
"He is more calm and collected than most poker players I know," Beckman said. "Patrick is an all around nice guy who will be very successful in the future."
Huse said he would take some time off before deciding on a job. In the meantime, he will be working on his poker game and dreaming about the $8.25 million dollars that went to this year's WSOP winner.

SAFETY
Students can help prevent crime
Officer says personal safety is paramount, students should trust their gut feeling
BY SUSAN SCHWARZ
sschwarz@kansan.com
The Kansan sat down with Chief Ralph Oliver of the University of Kansas Public Safety Office to see what is in store for students during the next year.
Kansan: Is the Department excited for all the students to return to campus?
Chief Oliver: I am always excited to see them come back. I don't like to see them leave. Our activities are based around the students.
Kansan: What can the students do to make the department's job a little easier?
Chief Oliver: We would like for the students to partner with us. The number one problem is theft. Before leaving something out, ask yourself if you would be okay without this thing. Also, if a student sees something that looks odd call it in. The tendency for people is not to call in. Call in, it is more important to prevent something.
Kansan: What is the department looking forward to about the school year?
Chief Oliver: We have gotten the permission to bring on a emergency managing coordinator. Helping get the word out. Help students and faculty to develop plans for themselves, for school and their homes.
Kansan: What is the department not looking forward to this year?
Chief Oliver: I am not looking forward to the same thing I do not look forward to every year: snow and ice. It is a whole process for us. Decisions have to be made in a timely manner so that no one gets trapped on campus.
get you and take you to your car as soon as a security officer is available.
Kansan: What is one thing you would like to say to students at KU?
Chief Oliver: Trust your feeling. As the old saying goes, if something makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up you should act on that feeling.
Kansan: What is the biggest safety issue for students?
Chief Oliver: Personal safety- property can be replaced. A lot of people do not know but if Jaywalk is busy and you are on campus we will come
Chief Oliver said that the Public Safety Office is here to support the students in their education. Oliver said that his only child will start KU in the fall. While laughing, he said her greatest fear is that he will stand up at traditions night and single her out.

FOOD
Students have variety of late-night dining options
Pizza delivery, fast food places satisfy early morning cravings
BY SUSAN SCHWARZ
sschwarz@kansan.com
Used cups litter the apartment; two students are winding down their night when one suggests a late night snack.
This scene may sound familiar. But you're certainly not alone.
For each student it is a different craving. Evan Golden, Plymouth, Minn., senior, said the way to go is pizza.
Golden said that after a night downtown he always knows that there is a pizza place open. Regardless of wither it is Pizza Shuttle or The Wheel, Golden knows that he can satisfy his craving with a slice or two.
While Pizza Shuttle and The Wheel both close at 2 a.m., students can get pizza until 3:30 a.m. from Gumby's.
Jonathan Sonnino, senior, favors
Pizza Shuttle over other pizza deliveries because he said students can get the most for your money.
"You don't have to go anywhere and you get a drink and a pizza." Sonnino said.
Sonnino said he gets "two-fors" when he orders from Pizza Shuttle. He said "Two-fors" are two pizzas and two drinks for about $12 plus tip.
The No.
Taco Bell and Pita Pit are both open until 3 a.m.
If dawn is nearing, but your stomach is beginning to grumble there are several places open 24 hours.
"You don't have to go anywhere and you get a drink and a pizza." JONATHAN SONNINO Senior
4 meal from Taco Bell is one of Melissa Footlick's, Kansas City, Mo., senior. Footlick said the long line at Taco Bell will not stop her.
Though she tries not to eat too late, she knows that either Pita Pit or Taco Bell will be the place she heads.
Driving through McDonalds, students can pick up a Value Meal as long as they head to the location on 6th street. However, they begin to serve breakfast
at 4 a.m. So, do not expect french fries if the sun is starting to come up.
If the group cannot come to the conclusion on whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner they want, IHOP is the answer. This restaurant serves every meal regardless of the time.

Downtown dining gets new kids on the block
PINEAPPLE OLIVE AND POTATO SALAD
Genovese Restaurant, 941 Massachusetts St., took the place of Mass Street Deli earlier this year.

tharbert@kansan.com
New downtown restaurants are hoping students have a taste for unique foods.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Owners of Genovese Restaurant, 941 Massachusetts St., and Ingredient, 947 Massachusetts St., said they could be successful in the crowded Lawrence restaurant market if residents and hungry students are willing to sample their cuisines.
"That is the most important part, good service and quality food," said Subarna Bhattachan, who owns Genovese along with Alejandro Lule and Armando Paniagua. "If we don't have a good product then it is pointless."
Bhattachan said his restaurant, located in the former Mass St. Deli, features a northern Italian cuisine, serving a variety of fresh and dry pastas for $10 to$ 12, as well as salads for $6, pizzas for$ 10 to $12 and entrees such as rib-eye steaks and salmon dishes from$ 14 to $25.
Bhattachan said Genovese's owners researched the market and plan to control their labor and food costs.
"You have to do your homework correctly," he said.
Bhattachan said he will rely on word-of-mouth advertising and walkup traffic to make Genoese a success.
Bhattachan also owns La Parrilla, 814 Massachusetts St., and Zen Zero, 811 Massachusetts St.
He said that more than half of his 50 employees were University students, but that the most important thing owners needed to do in order to be successful was be willing to work at any time, even upwards of 100 hours a week.
The restaurant's hours are from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and until 11 p.m. from Thursday to Sunday.
Steve Kerner is one of the owners of Ingredient Restaurant, which opened in the building that once housed Qdoba. Kerner said the three keys to attracting enough customers to a restaurant were the freshness of its food, the restaurant's atmosphere and the price.
Ingredient customers can choose five from more than 80 ingredients to customize their salads and pizzas, which range in price from $7.50 to$ 11.
Kerner said customers will order their food through a counter like a fast-food restaurant, but a server will bring the orders to them with regular china and silverware like a sit-down restaurant. He called it a "gourmet fast casual restaurant."
"It's different," he said. "It's not your average fare."
Kerner, who has experience in restaurants and catering in Kansas City, said all of his ingredients would be brought in from Kansas City markets and from some local farmers.

"Whatever they have growing we'll
With a philosophy of freshness and a variety of ingredients such as caramelized almonds, pine nuts and grilled pineapple, Kerner said Ingredient
would fit in with the Lawrence attitude toward food.
"We think it's the perfect market for it" Kerner said.

Downtown venues have attracted big-name bands
Three popular halls offer intimate settings for live music performances
BY SAM CARLSON
scarlson@kansan.com
The band photos that cover the wall at the Bottleneck are not just decorations. They are reminders of the musicians who have taken the stage at the legendary venue located at 737 New Hampshire St.
Among those bands are Foo Fighters, 311, Sublime, and Radiohead.
"Unbelievable talent has been through here," said Brett Mossiman, Bottleneck owner.
Mossiman said the venue, which holds about 350 people, sells out several shows each month.
He said the music venue features local, national and international bands.
"Now the thing is to expose kids to more music and get them off the computers."
In between the regularly scheduled movie showings, Liberty Hall has seen the likes of O.A.R and Jimmy Eat World.
With student interests in mind, Mossman said the Bottleneck will try to feature more local bands and cheap tickets this semester in addition to the higher-priced, advanced tickets for bigger shows.

Liberty Hall holds more than 1,000 people in its main floor and balcony, while still maintaining an intimate feel, Redding said.
"You're right up there with the performers, even

VOLUNTEERING
Center matches students with their interests
Center for Community Outreach offers many programs
BY BEN SMITH
bsmith@kansan.com
Students seeking opportunities to help others need go no farther to find volunteer work than the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
The Center for Community Outreach has logged 6,162 hours of community service since August 2005.
The CCO offers 15 different volunteer programs and keeps a list of 66 separate volunteer organizations listed on its Web site.
Kelli Stout, co-director for the Center for Community Outreach, said that the number of volunteer programs has been steadily growing in Lawrence since the organization was first established in 1990.
Stout said that while most of the students involved in the program are filling requirements for courses
in social work, a lot of students just found themselves with a spare hour
"They say, 'Hey, I have to find something to fill my time,' and we fix them up with where their
interests lie and where there is a need in the community." Stout said.
One of the biggest programs the center has is Jubilee Cafe, Stout said. Volunteers cook breakfast and serve the homeless and impov-

Whether you're a brand new freshman or a fifth-year senior, Lawrence offers plenty of activities to keep you entertained after the sun goes down.
Lawrence's atmosphere is diverse, and the only way to find your very own hangout is to get out and explore.
The heart of the Lawrence entertainment scene, Massachusetts Street, is alive every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night with a mixture of bars, music venues and restaurants to keep everyone satisfied.
But don't fear if you can't make it downtown. A memorable night out is closer than you might think.
THE BARS
Students who have waited their turns and finally reached the magical age of 21 certainly won't go thirsty in Lawrence. The only hard part is deciding which bar to visit.
Those who enjoy an upscale drinking experience and wine by the glass can check out The Jayhawker, located in the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St.
Others might prefer a more casual, traditional bar setting. Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., has two levels of watering hole-style
scenery, complete with pool tables and jukeboxes.

If the downtown strip proves to be too hectic, one can head over to Ohio Street for a couple of University of Kansas traditions. The Wheel, 14th and Ohio Streets, and The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., have long been favorites of students:
"I think now it's a little more diversified, but it's still pretty much a younger crowd," she said.
Ashley Ballweg, Leawood senior,
said the atmosphere at The Hawk is
changing - sort of.
Ballweg also said she isn't always in the mood for a night of dancing and crazy partying that comes with a trip to The Hawk, which is why she frequents Quinton's Bar & Deli, 615 Massachusetts.
"It's more laid-back because you're sitting in a booth and hang-
hangout," said Doug Redding, video store manager at Liberty hall.
Students who don't enjoy the bar scene or those who aren't old enough to participate have many other avenues to explore.
For a more physical form of entertainment, look no further than right here on campus.
A relaxing evening in front of the movie screen can be had at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., where everything from "Art-house" movies to blockbusters can be seen on any given night, with selections changing frequently. A student ID on Wednesday and Thursday nights knocks $2 off the regular price of$ 7.50. Liberty Hall also occasionally features live music, and the type of crowd varies, depending on the event, but the opera-house-turned-movie-theater isn't a place to party.

Jaybowl, the University's bowling alley, is located on level one of the Kansas Union. Friday and Saturday nights are Cosmic bowling nights and a student ID lets you bowl for free. Cosmic bowling puts a new twist on the classic American pastime with music and black lights. The activity attracts mainly freshmen and sophomores, although all ages participate, said Tim Fields, acting recreations coordinator.
"It's a fun place to hang out and have non-alcohol fun with your friends," said Fields.

Books help students prepare for college life
BY BEN SMITH
bsmith@kansan.com
Walking into Oread Books in the Kansas Union, students see a display table of books geared towards surviving freshmen year.
Their colors are a rainbow of gold, orange, blue, green and black. Titles range from "A Complete Idiot's Guide to College Survival" to "The Naked Roommate."
The goal of these books is to give new students information and advice as they begin their academic careers.
Picking up a copy of "The Naked Roommate" by Harlan Cohen from the table, Ruth Lichtwardt, an Oread Books employee, talks about the various books that have been popular in the last few years, including one for parents of college students titled "Learning to Cope."
"A few years ago it was recommended by student orientation as a good book for parents," Lichtwardt said.
A graduate of the University recently published one of the books on the display table.
Maxwell Minor, a former communications major, authored and self-published the book "Inside Lawrence" in August 2006. The book is a registry of what Minor calls "the institutions" around Lawrence.
"When I first came to the University I was from Minneapolis," Minor said in a phone conversation. "I'd literally only shown up in town for the three days of orientation and then I was there in Lawrence."
Minor explained that in his years at the University he grew to love the city of Lawrence so much that he felt the need to help out other students starting out just like him.
"I felt that for just a normal, out-of-state student there needed to be some sort of guide to help them get out and learn their way around," Minor said. "It is a glorified phonebook with kind of a humorous spirit."
The first edition of the book is broken up into four categories: food, shops, booze and miscellaneous. Each entry features a Lawrence establishment, giving the address and phone number as well as a paragraph or two describing the locale's atmosphere, distinctive qualities, and quirkiness.
As an example, Minor's entry for the Red Lyon Tavern begins:
"Come for the free popcorn, stay for the .free popcorn."
Nothing to Eat," was penned by Jody Johnson, the associate director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center.
Another entry for the Eldridge Hotel says:
"Proving yet again that historical and creepy are eager bedfellows, The Eldridge Hotel is kind of cool in a 'The Shining' meets 'Disney's Tower of Terror' way."
Another book available at Oread Books, "All Grown Up and

"Part of my approach is to encourage people to have their friends come over and help shop at the store and then prepare the meal," Johnson said.
"It provides some social time, stress relief and time away from studying."

"I think you have to learn from experience," Campbell said. "There are some things books can't tell you."

EMPLOYMENT
On-campus jobs available

Back to school means it's time to open up the wallet and start handling over cash for books, rent and of course, tuition.
To keep that wallet full, students might first want to look within the University for their sources of income. University employers stressed there are a number of advantages to working on campus.
"It's quick and convenient because it's right on campus," said Ann Hartley, associate director of the University Career Center, located in the Burge Union. "You get to know more people on campus. You become more of the campus community."
Hartley said the University employs students in a wide range of jobs such as in the libraries, student housing, dining centers, museums and recreation services.
The Career Center posts all available campus jobs, and some off-campus jobs, on its Web site, jobs.ku.edu. Students can fill out an online application there and apply to any jobs they're interested in.
More than 1,500 jobs are posted every year on the site, Hartley said, but she warned that because so many students apply for jobs online, job-hunters need to be persistent with the positions they apply for.
"it's easier but there's more competition," she said.

work, the Career Center can help students identify their job skills, write resumes and cover letters and offer advice for job interviews. Hartley said.
The campus libraries are always looking for student workers, said Julie Warrick, collection maintenance supervisor for Watson Library.
"We pretty much hire all the time," she said.
"We can show you things to do initially to help sell yourself," she said.
She said the libraries hire about 250 students across eight or nine KU libraries and the only work requirements are that students are enrolled in at least six credit hours and willing to work at least 10 hours a week. She said, however, different positions require different skills.
"We're always putting ourselves out of workers because they graduate and move away." Muggy said.
She said she keeps applications on file in case she needs to hire additional workers during the year or at rushes.
Student workers at the bookstore do a number of different jobs, she said, from organizing textbooks and T-shirts to working at cash registers.
Shant Thomas, marketing manager for KU Dining Services, said all of the jobs offered by the Kansas Memorial Unions are listed on their Web site, union.ku.edu.
The Jawhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Rd., employs about 15 students on a temporary basis during "book rushes" at the beginning of each semester but keeps about five of them for the rest of the semester, said Janet Muggy, co-owner of the store.
"Come to work on time and when scheduled and don't constantly ask to be off." Muggy said.
She said the store is flexible with student schedules, but she said the number one characteristic she looks for when hiring new workers is dependability.
The unions employ everything from cashiers to baristas, and students can specify the specific job they want after they apply into a
larger pool of jobs on the Web site, he said.

Students are no strangers to sleep loss. Therefore, any comfortable place on campus can prove a perfect place to nap between classes. These are ten places to sleep on campus. Sweet dreams.
》 The cubicles at Watson Library offer a perfect place for students to sleep.
"Its quiet and secluded," said Asia Nuss, Salina graduate.
To disguise that you went to the library to sleep, take a book out and sleep on top of it. It will look as if the sleep was unintentional.

Students can grab some shut eye between classes at secured spots on campus.
Unlike the grassy area between Frasier and Watson, less people walk through.
» If the weather is nice, go outside for a nap between classes. The grass area between Frasier Hall and Watson library has a number of trees that can be used for shade. Use a backpack as a pillow and enjoy the subtle breeze during the fall.
》 The grassy hill outside Spencer Museum of Art makes for a comfortable sleep, said Cassi Ross, University graduate from Sebetha.
» Budig Hall it's the perfect place to take a nap when there are not a lot of people around. Avoid going 10 minutes before and after classes start and enjoy the quiet peace that Budig has to offer. It is carpeted for extra comfort.

》 A well-known place to sleep on campus is the quiet zone of Anschutz library, Nathan Hickey, Lawrence sophomore, recommends going to the very back of the library because "its quiet and nobody goes there." In general, anywhere in Anschutz library can be a good place to sleep. Nathan Markley, Wellington Senior, has a friend who slept under one of the study tables on the second floor. Pick a spot at the library and enjoy.

"It itks really cool when the sun is setting." Markley said. "It's really peaceful and quite. I've fallen asleep so many times there doing homework."

» Halley Banderlippe, Kansas City sophomore and Watson Library employee, said that there is a table that faces the wall on the first floor East of Watson Library that is perfect for sleeping.
"People have written messages on the table saying how awesome that table is to nap." Banderlippe said. "Other people who have napped there answer fo the messages."
The second floor of Strong Hall has lots to offer for a student looking for a good place to nap. Jessi Hoffman, University graduate said that the floor is a great place to nap because no classes are held there and there are comfortable chairs to sleep in.
"It has big windows for light, but nobody knows you are there." Hoffman said.
The cafe in JRP Hall is not
only a good place to read but also a perfect place to nap.
"They have the most comfortable chairs," said Jim Erckson, Overland Park senior said. "They are chairs that you can lay on."
Erckson said that the chairs combined with how quite JRP is, makes for the cafe a perfect place to take a break between clases and nap.
Mallot Hall might not be the most popular place to take a nap on campus but Kelly Sanders, University graduate, said that Mallot's first floor is a really good napping place.
"Its really quiet down there and there is not a lot of traffic," Sanders said. "All you need for a good nap."

GREEK LIFE
Fraternities, sororities offer familiar faces
BY RACHEL PARKER editor@kansan.com
Campus newcomers bond through Greek organizations
For students who want to spice up their college experience, the University of Kansas' fraternities and sororites might have a lot to offer.
The University's greek system is more than 130 years old, consists of 40 chapters and more than 3,500 undergraduate students. In fact, 20 to 22 percent of the undergraduate population is greek.
The Greek community strives to promote four basic pillars of values: leadership, academic excellence, community service and brotherhood and sisterhood.
Leadership opportunities are available for students who want to be chapter officials or part of the greek councils. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life has many positions for students to represent the Greek community.
Academically, greek students maintain a certain GPA set by their chapters. Students who excel can be part of the Order of Omega program, a national Greek honor society that recognizes the nation's
top 3 percent.
Each chapter commits to different philanthropies to fulfill community service, where students are involved in raising money for national and local organizations. One of the biggest philanthropies is The House that Greeks Built, an activity where students labor and benefit the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity by building a house. The project averages nearly $50,000. The greek system is currently working toward building its fourth house, after finishing its third house in 2003.
Greek students also talk about the life-long friendships they make through their involvement with their brothers and sister because they join chapters based on their interests, and usually live in a chapter house.
Students involved in green life participate in different beneficial events and programs throughout the school year including a blood drive, intramural sports, a theatrical Rock Chalk Revue and weekend
retreats, such as the Greek Advance. Students in these programs become more involved with their chapters, and they increase their interaction with the University and the rest of the students.
Students are informed about recruitment for fraternities and sororities at freshman orientation. There are three different councils that represent the KU Greek system: Interfraternity council (IFC), Panhellenic Council (PHA), and National Pan-Hellenic council (NPHC). These councils hold leadership positions for the Greek students, as well as communicate with the national organizations.
Recruitment is a different process for each of the councils and their chapters. The IFC, which represents 20 campus fraternities, holds a summer formal recruitment for men, and an informal recruitment during the rest of the academic school year.
The PHA, which represents 13 campus sororities, holds an eight-day recruitment process for women
during the first week of school.
The NPHC, which represents seven historic African-American and recently-formed Latino fraternities and sororites, holds an informal recruitment period during the entire academic year for men and
women who already have college credit. Informational sessions are also available for interested students at the beginning of the school year.
Men and women interested in learning more about the University's greek system should refer questions to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

GRADUATE STUDIES
Rosen wants to improve research
New dean aims to needs of graduate students, departments, then work to meet them
BY JOE CAPONIO jcaponio@Kansan.com
On June 29, the University named Sara Rosen as its new dean of graduate studies and associate vice provost. Rosen had been serving as the chair of the Department of Linguistics before the promotion. She joined the staff at the University in 1991
as an assistant professor. In the 1980s, Rosen received a bachelor's degree in psychology and a graduate degree in special education, both from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1990 before coming to KU, Rosen
Kansan: Why did you decide to come to the University back in 1991?
teach in the linguistics department, but will no longer serve as chair. The Kansan sat down with Rosen to discuss her new position.
**Rosen:** This was a nice place to come because many linguists don't
Q&A
"I will be spending a whole lot of time listening to people to find out what needs to be done, and we'll go from there."
SARÁ ROSEN Dean of graduate studies
received a doctorate in linguistics and cognitive science from Brandels University. Rosen will continue to
have a linguistics department to come to. There's usually either an English department or a language department and there was quite an appeal here because we had a free-standing department of our own. It's a
small department and a very nice environment to work in.
Kansan! Was reaching this position one of your main career goals?
Rosen: Over the last five years, I have been looking into administration, getting a little bit of training in leadership in higher education administration and thinking about it. So, it's been more a gradual change over the last several years.
Kansan: What has been the biggest change you've noticed in the
University during the past 16 years?
Rosen: I would say the breaking down of some of the departmental barriers. People used to stick to their departments and there were a lot of territorial feelings that I've seen break down, both on the teaching side and the research side.
Kansan: What are you looking forward to the most in your new position?
Rosen: Probably talking to a whole lot of people about their graduate programs and their needs in those programs. I'm looking forward to trying to find ways to meet their needs and make both research and graduate studies at KU the very best that they can be, and I know that they can be excellent.
Kansan: Are you satisfied with the current state of the graduate programs here?
**Rosen:** Yes, I think that there are many graduate programs at KU that
are excellent but I think that there's still work to be done. I think that there are questions of who controls policies of the graduate programs and how we can best set up the system that works to both keep the standards as high as possible and also give the programs the flexibility of developing.
Kansan: Do you already have any changes planned for the graduate programs?
Rosen: I will be spending a whole lot of time listening to people to find out what needs to be done, and we'll go from there. I would hope that the transition would be as soon as possible. We will be in a new location on the second floor of Strong Hall, but other than that I would hope from a student perspective that they felt they had a place to go before, and they will still have a place to go now when they need us.

Haysville senior first contestant eliminated on CBS"Big Brother' reality show
BY TYLER HARBERT tharbert@kansan.com
MISS UNION
Carol Journey, Haysville senior,
= was the first cast member elminated from CBS's show "Big Brother." Journey withdrew from a summer class at the University, and quit her role as a Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader to participate in the reality program.
"It was an alright experience. Definitely the part that I enjoyed the most was getting off the show."
**Journey:** It was an alright experience. Definitely the part that I enjoyed the most was getting off the show. I've had a lot of fun since I've gotten off this past week
CAROL JOURNEY Haysville junior
Journey spent 14 days in the "Big Brother" house and was sequestered in Los Angeles for a week before the show started. The Kansan recently talked to Journey about her experience on the show.
Kansan: Do you regret what took place on the show, or even going on it in the first place?

talking with fans and people who liked who I was.
Kansan: The premise of the show was to have an enemy from your past confront you in the house. Can you tell me what the experience was like and what you were thinking when you saw her for the first time?
Journey: It was very, very uncomfortable. I did not want her there and she took away so much of the enjoyment I could have gotten out of it. When I saw the enemy thing, I thought our story was pretty ridiculous compared to the other two sets of enemies on the show because their stories were so much more tragic than ours. I kind of feel like me and Jessica were
placed on the show more for comedic relief, as a way of making fun of two little girls from eighth grade.
The worst part about being on the show was the lack of privacy, always being on TV.
Kansan:
What was the situation with your enemy?
**Journey:** For me, I was over it. I hadn't even thought about her in three years. She obviously was still bitter and angry enough that she would mention my name through the audition process. I'm not going to lie, leaving the show, I'm now a little bitter with her again, but I was over it so long ago.
CAROL JOURNEY Haysville junior
Journey: There were several different reasons. For one, I didn't really want to be there in the first place and I whined every single day about how I all I wanted to do was go home. So they all knew I was homesick and I didn't want to be there, so that contributed to it. Secondly, I was not a very good player. You really have to be strategic and know what you're doing
**Journey:** Basically, all it is was we were really good friends for a few years in middle school and we got into a fight, I don't even know what the fight was really about, she claims it's over $5, but I don't think that's true at all, and basically we just never made up and went through high school completely ignoring each other. Then we graduated and she still lives at home with her mom and dad and I moved away to KU and never talked to each other again, I guess.
Kansan: Why do you think the other cast members singled you out and eliminated you first?
Kansan: Is there still bitterness then?
Kansan: Which cast member are you pulling for now?
**Journey:** I'm really wanting Mike to win the whole thing, simply because he's a good guy, he got a good heart and he deserves it. He really does. He works hard and I think that he'll play the game in a decent manner. He won't be like manipulative or deceiving through the process. I think he's going to do it with dignity.
and I had no idea what I was doing on the show because I was recruited and had never watched the show before. I had the votes from what people tell me and from watching
the show. I had six votes which is what I needed to stay but an alliance was formed and should they have all voted for me they would have exposed themselves so they didn't vote to keep me simply because they wanted to keep their alliance a secret and they didn't want everybody else to use that against them later.
**Journey:** The worst part about being on the show was the lack of privacy, always being on TV. When you're in there, you kind of forget
Kansan: What were the best and worst aspects of the show?
about the cameras and forget that there are people out in the United States watching you and listening to conversations you had. I regret a few of the things I said, but you can't hold back everything you have. Honestly, this past week since I've been out of the house has been awesome. I've had so much fun doing interviews. I've probably done a few dozen TV programs so far and I did several days of radio interviews where I just got to talk to different radio stations across the nation that asked me about Big Brother. That was a lot of fun and getting to talk to people who watched the show has been great too.
Kansan: What's next? Are you going to record an album?
**Journey:** Um, no. Actually,
since being off the show I've gotten
a few job offers because I've talked about being a marketing major. CBS kind of threw out offering me a spot on another reality show, but I don't know if I want to do that. I don't know. I have no desire to act or sing or do anything like that. I just want to get my degree and a job. There have been offers but we'll see. I've been told the offers really pick up once the show gets over, so if something amazing gets thrown at me I might consider something else.
Journey: I've had "Playboy" thrown out there a couple of times. I don't think I could ever do that. That's not gonna happen. Maybe "Maxim."
Kansan: Is there anything you would completely rule out?

>>STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Little-known groups offer great fun
avilchis@kansan.com
BY ALAIDE VILCHIS IBBARA
The University has more than 500 different student organizations. Picking which group to join can be overwhelming for students who are interested. Some organizations are very well known while other newly created groups have less than 10 members. Because there is an organization for everyone, here is a list of four lesser known student clubs.
Yoga Club
With the increasing popularity of yoga, Molly Daughey, vice president of the yoga club, thought that it would be a good idea to have a
club where students did not have to pay to participate.
Those were the origins of the yoga club which started Spring semester 2007 and now has somewhere between 20 to 30 members.

are designed so students with any fitness level can attend.
"It is mainly a place to release some energy, take breaks of studying and you meet some cool people." Daughety said.
The time and day of meetings are yet to be determined. For more information contact Daughey at daughey@ku.edu.
Tree Climbing Club
The title describes this club well. It is an organization where students meet to climb trees.
A meeting normally consists of the group walking to different parks and finding trees to climb.
Flanery at flan@ku.edu for more information about the club.
Katie Soldan started doing archery because her boyfriend does it. When she moved to the University, she wanted to meet other students who were interested in the sport.
"We just have fun climbing trees and messing around outside," said Andrew Flanery, the club's president.
Soldan said that the club is not only designed for experienced people but also for beginners.

Students with a passion for words and board games can join the Scrabble Club.
Although there are no fees for the club, members need to purchase a permit to get into the park.
Members of the club meet at the Kansas Union and play one game of scrabble in teams of three or four to split up the board.

Float like a butterfly without sting of the bee
People who don't want to fight can still train as a boxer
By Alaide Vilchis Ibarra avilchis@kansan.com
Two University graduates recently realized that there was no place in Lawrence for residents to practice boxing, so they took matters into their own hands.
Justin Montgomery and Walter Ewert opened the first boxing gym in town in July in North Lawrence.
"We did a lot of stuff. We put in a lot of sweat equity on this," Montgomery said. "My business partner and I are very good with our hands, so we built and did most of the work ourselves."
a building to use for practice they had previously trained in Montgomery's basement they started inviting friends to train with them. But interest grew beyond their circle of friends, and the idea developed into a business.
After talking to the owner of a gym that was closing in Leavenworth, Montgomery and Ewert bought the gym's equipment for a fraction of the retail price.
They opened Walt's Boxing Gym, 1845 E. 1450 Rd., without having to ask for a business loan.
"We want to help people understand that they can work out as a boxer without ever getting punched."
JUSTIN MONTGOMERY Co-owner of Walt's Boxing Gym
Ewert said that after they found
Today, the gym has about 20 paying customers, and Montgomery said he expected more people to join after students came back to town in the fall. He also said that although he
does not know the specific date, he wants to have a formal grand opening to draw attention to the gym.
"I'd like to grow in Lawrence to support local fights in Lawrence," Montgomery said. "Some sort of a
community effort to maybe see if boxing can have a comeback"
"We want to help people understand they can work out as a boxer without ever getting punched," Montgomery said.
The gym offers classes aimed at people who want to experience the workout of a boxer without actually having to fight.
Basic conditioning takes place from Monday to Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7 and from 7:30 to 9.
If a member wants to actually box and participate in competitions, Eric Riley, trainer at Haskell Indian Nations University's boxing club, trains boxers and finds their other opponents at a beginner's level to fight against.
The gym's fees vary. Members can sign a contract for six months and pay $44 per month. People can also buy a punch card that includes a number of classes for$ 5 per class. Walk-ins are $10 for up to two one-and-a-half-hour sessions.

Insurance uncommon
BY SUSAN SCHWARZ
sschwarz@kansan.com
For students on their parents' insurance, graduating may come with the unwelcome surprise that they no longer have health coverage.
Rebecca Goldberg, Dallas graduate, currently finds herself in this the situation. Over the summer, she faced two surgeries and a gap in her health insurance.
Her job does not insure her until she has been employed there for a month. However, her parents' insurance drops her after the first day of employment.
Goldberg said she thought she was safe because she had employment lined up after graduation. Goldberg said she could not afford complications from her surgeries this summer, as the financial burden would be too much. Fortunately, she has not faced any so far, but she still has a month to endure.
Bob Tomlinson, deputy commissioner for the Kansas Department of Insurance, said insurance companies drop students from their parents' policies anywhere between the ages of 22 and 24, but some as low as 21.
Mike Davis , senior vice president of the Alumni Association, said the main reason the Alumni Association provides health insurance to graduates is because many graduates are going off of their parents insurance.
Tomlinson said he would like to see graduates taking interest in both their health insurance and their health.
"They think nothing is going to happen," Davis said, "then something does and they are out ten or 12,000 dollars."
Many students' lack of insurance may be caused by what Tomlinson
called "underemployment".
Students facing a lack of immediate employment are not able to find their ideal jobs after graduation. These students often face a lack of health coverage, Tomlinson said.
Though Tomlinson said the department would like to have incentive programs for these employers to provide health care, he said he was unable to mandate employers to provide health care because the mandate would cause employers to simply eliminate jobs without provided health care.
Mai Do, marketing coordinator for Student Health Services, said that health insurance is not high on the list of priorities for KU graduates.
"Most students are covered under their parents' insurance so not a lot of people have to think about it," Do said.
Do said that recent graduates should think ahead about their insurance coverage.
"It should be something they look ahead for," Do said. "Not something they look for on an 'as needed' basis."
Jessica Studin, Alabama graduate, will attend the University of Georgia in the fall for her graduate degree. Studin said she thought she was still covered as a full-time student under her parents' policy but she said she was unsure of her coverage because her parents handled her insurance.
University of Kansas students have the option of receiving health insurance through the University for the duration of their time spent at school. The health coverage, underwritten by MEGA Life and Health Insurance Company, is available through Watkins Memorial Health Center, east of Robinson Center.

》RECREATION
Working out while Rec Center is closed
BY ALAIDE VILCHIS IBARRA
avilchis@kansan.com
With the Student Recreation Fitness Center under construction, students might want to find optional places to get a good workout. In Lawrence, there are different places that students can access.
The Lawrence Athletic Club has two different locations, one in the North side of town, 3201 Mesa Way, visible from 6th street and the other on the East side on 23rd Street before Haskell Avenue.
"What I hear from the people who come here is them complaining about how the rec center is way too crowded and there is a shortage of equipment," Sells said. "Here you don't have to get in line to use anything."
Membership to the athletic club cost $29.99 per month in a five month contract. If students want access to the pool, they have to pay an extra$ 4.90 per month.
Rick Sells, Lawrence Athletic Club owner, said that although his club offers the same basic amenities as the recreation center, about 400 University students work out there.
Another place for students to work out is the Therapy Works Wellness Center located on the corner of 6th and Maine streets. The center has a free weight gym and machines for cardio.
Lazy Ingle, fitness specialist at the center, said that the water aerobics classes they offer were popular with injured students.
The fees to join the wellness center are $415 per year. Students can choose to pay the fee monthly or every three months. There is also a 12-visit$ 50 punch card for people who want to only take water aerobics classes.
"If someone has back problems or knee problems these classes are ideal because it doesn't hurt the areas you have pain in." Ingle said.
If students are looking for an alternative way to get fit, the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., offers tap, jazz, ballet and modern classes as well as toning classes and different types of yoga.
A
The classes range from beginner to advanced. No dance experience is necessary for the beginner classes.
Mary Devlin, assistant to the dance program of the arts center and University graduate, said she started taking dance classes when she was a student.
The fees and times for classes at the arts center for the fall are yet to be
"I would say that the biggest benefit for students who come to the arts center is getting into the community environment." Devlin said. "It's kind of great to meet new people and get out of only meeting the student population."

》 MOVING OUT
Parents sometimes have a hard time letting go of their children and accepting their departures.
Parents, students alike suffer from woes of independence
Help make the transition easier with these tips
BY LAURA EVERS editor@kansan.com
Growing up, I had a great relationship with my mom. I looked forward to coming home from school and telling her about my day. She listened intently as I went into detail about boys I thought were cute and why my best friend was making me mad. She was my rock and in many ways I was hers. I felt that I couldn't make a decision without her by my side and always knew everything would be OK as long as she was in my life. And then... I went to college.
The struggle for independence
Before college, I never planned on pulling away from my parents. They were who I turned to for comfort and were always my best supporters. But once I arrived at KU, I felt I needed to branch out and do things on my own. I wanted them in my life, but I needed room to grow as an adult.
Some of us struggle to gain independence from our parents when we first come to college. Whether it be doing our own laundry or paying bills, we gradually become adults. Although learning to be independent is important, it often causes families distress when we return home during the school year.
Because students become more responsible and self-sufficient while away at school, they are often faced with the challenge of re-introducing themselves to their parents when they arrive home, says Andra Medea, author of Going Home

without Going Crazy. The best way
Many arguments begin because the returning student feels he must pust away in order to prove his indepen-
y. The best way to do this is by showing your parents how you've matured.
"Be mindful not to fall back into old habits," Medea says. "When you do this, you'll have a harder time convincing your parents that you've grown up." Don't refuse
to pick up your dirty clothes or address your parents in a whiney tone when they're upset with you. Doing this will only make your parents treat you like a 14-year-old. Instead, address your parents in a deeper, more adult tone. This will surprise the parent and help them realize you've grown up and matured, Medea says.
Many arguments begin because the returning student feels he must push away in order to prove his independence, often causing tension in the household. "It's a hard transition for families," says Jeff King, a marriage and family therapist in Lawrence. "Parents don't know if they still have authority or
if they should act as their child's peer." This uncertainty can often

create apprehension in the family.
Unwanted advice
The problems between my mom and I arose about a year after I moved out. I had recently begun dating a guy who lived in my dorm. Because I hadn't dated in the past, it was a new experience for both of us. For the first time in my life, I was experiencing something that I wanted to keep to myself. Almost immediately after discussing my
new relationship with my mom, I started receiving several e-mails a day.
The subject lines included "making a relationship last" and "the fundamentals of dating," among other things. 1

knew she was trying to be helpful, but it made me feel like I was being told what to do. I had turned to her in the past for advice, but in this situation, I really just wanted to figure out the relationship on my own. This was a very confusing time for her because, in the past, I had told her everything that was on my mind and all of a sudden I

was more guarded.
Adjusting to new ways of communication can be difficult for both parents and their children. "It's a process of growing up and re-negotiating the most important relationships of your life," says Harriet Lerner, author of The Dance of Anger: A Women's Guide to Changing Patterns of Intimate Relationships. "When you go home, it's an anxious time. If your mother manages anxiety by giving advice, she will do it more."
Avoid distancing
I never knew howtohandle the advice I received from my mom. Eventually, I stopped returning many of her phone calls and didn't reply to her e-mails. But
isolating yourself from your parents only makes the problem worse. "If your parents call 12 times a day, your tendency may be to distance, which causes your parents anxiety," Lerner says. "If your parents are being intrusive, the challenge is to be clear about what is best for you without being emotionally distancing."
Instead of getting mad, Lerner suggests approaching the situation with humor. She recommends saying something like, "Mom, you're acting like the American Red Cross here. Do I look like I need rescuing?" After this is done, parents usually back off. It's a way to set personal boundaries.
Check in
When I went home for summer breaks, my parents usually wanted to know what time I would get back from a night out with my friends. When I was a child, I felt that it was all right for them to wait up for me and worry, but now that I was on my own, I felt these questions were unreasonable.
Andrea Crawford, Overland Park senior, had a similar experience. "I don't get a lot of independence when I go home," she says. "I can't really go out anywhere very late because my parents can't sleep until I get back." Parents want to know their child is safe, but the questions they asked when their child still lived at home are no longer appropriate for a college student.
Lizzie Hartman, Shawnee freshman, has also experienced the shock of coming home and being re-

introduced to curfews. At school, she could stay out as long as she wanted, but when she went home she was surprised that her parents got upset after she returned home a couple of hours later than she had told them she would. Fortunately, she's reached a compromise with her parents. "They get concerned that something has happened to me," Hartman says. "The rule now is I just have to call, say where I am, who I'm with and let them know I'm going to be late. I feel that if that's all I have to change, than I can deal with that."
Set boundaries
Besides wanting to know when you'll be home, parents often try to find out the basics of their child's life. Christina Gekas, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior, says she was
often frustrated by her mom's attempts to find out about the boys in her life, even turning to her brother to find out more information.
When parents take a stern stance again a college student's wishes, disputes can happen. Both sides need to understand that the process is difficult for everyone involved.
To avoid possible resentment from parents,keep in mind that they are having a difficult time as well.
Although it's good to keep parents updated on some things in your life, it's
also important to establish boundaries to your conversations. "One of the most important things to remember is to not lash out at your parents because you're frustrated," Medea says. "In the end, lashing out only invites more unwelcome questions and therefore you don't get what you want." Instead, she suggests responding respectfully by saying that the question was too personal and decline to answer. "This causes parents to do a double take," Medea says. "It's a very adult thing to do."

criticizes or accuses their parents of doing something wrong, their parents get defensive and a fight begins. An alternative way to deal with the situation is to demand their respect but also remind them that you still need their input, King says. It's important to make sure they know you don't want to get rid of them.
It's hard for them, too
To avoid possible resentment from parents, keep in mind that they are having a difficult time as well. Susan Schwartz, Memphis, Tenn., junior, says that her dad often sends her a text message to see if she can talk. If she doesn't respond, he'll call and if she doesn't pick up, he sends another text message. Although she explains that sometimes she doesn't want to be
Arguments are inevitable when families are adjusting to you being away from home. If an argument does happen, it's good to sit down with your parents and lay down some ground rules of what you will and will not talk about with them. If you prepare ahead of time, it decreases the possibility of your parents asking random questions, says Ed Bloch, a clinical social worker and therapist. Explain to your parents that although you still love them, you need to be able to build relationships with your peers because they are the ones who ultimately will support you while you're at school, he says.
In these situations, it's important to avoid coming off as critical, King says. If someone blames
disturbed, she says she realizes that her parents don't see her every day and have a right to worry. Often times when students feel hounded by their parents, they can become frustrated and avoid
contact with their parents.
When I began to withdraw, my mom started to pop up everywhere. She joined Facebook, MySpace and even Xanga, often leaving messages for me and even my friends. I began to feel digitally claustrophobic. I couldn't escape her presence and unfortunately, it made me avoid her even more than I had before.
It wasn't until a couple of months ago when I was talking to her on the phone that she said, "All I want is to feel like I'm part of your life, but you never call me anymore."
Her words stung me because before I had felt that she was the problem. She was too intrusive, She was overbearing. But after she said those words, I realized that I had neglected her.
If you are like me and have been guilty of avoiding your parents when they begin to become more intrusive, there are some ways to reassure them that you still want them in your life. First of all, push them for time. This may seem crazy considering they already seem intrusive, but spending quality time alone with your parents can help give you some space. Medea suggests taking mom out for breakfast or helping dad fix the car. During your time together you can
tell them what's going on in your life while asking them questions as well. This not only eases their
fears about what you're up to, but also shows them that you're mature enough to have adult conversations.
Gekas says that during her first years of college her mom expressed worry
that their relationship was becoming more distant. At the time, Gekas was confused because they talked frequently. She says she realized later that her responses to her mom's questions were often one word and without substance. "If
"If there's not quality in your conversations, it's worthless."
CHRISTINA GEKAS Eden Prairie, Minn., senior
there's not quality in your conversation, it's worthless," she says. Now she makes a point to expand upon her answers to create more meaningful conversation.
Parents want
what's best for their children, often finding it hard to let go when they still question themselves on whether they did a good job raising us.
They have become accustomed to having control. The thought of losing that and allowing their children to run their own lives can leave them with fear for their child's future, King says.
Pam Allen, a clinical social worker in Topeka, says that parents want so much for their child to do well that it sometimes hurts the relationship. "Parents struggle with trusting their children to make the right decision," she says. "Sometimes the fear can be so big that it puts a barrier in the relationship."

ents also struggle to redefine their own place in the world after you move out. "I got really depressed during this time," my mom told me. "All of a sudden I had all this extra time and no one to mother." It's very difficult to go through what King calls the "launching stage"; the period when a young person gradually becomes more independent. "So far, they've been defined as being a parent," King says. "They experience a sense of loss. They need their kids to still need them."
Coming home is also stressful for parents because they know your visit is short-lived and you will leave again. To connect more with her mom while she's away at school, Gekas is trying to teach her mom to use Gmail chat. That way they can talk more frequently and her mom won't feel as much distance between them, she says.
Learn to communicate
A leading mistake among families is their lack of communication. According to Bloch, families must put it out there that they are
going through a difficult transition. "There is an expectation that it should be easy to handle," he says. "It's better to talk about your feelings than hide them."
Allen says it's important to recognize the time as an adjustment. The transition will not be smooth at all times, but not communicating and losing the relationship can only cause harm to the student involved. "If a young adult can maintain contact with their parents, they will most likely be more stable and grounded," she says. "On the other hand, if a student is cut off from their parents, they can become more vulnerable to develop a problem with alcohol or drugs."
I've changed a lot of things in the past few months. Now when my mom calls, I call her back and make an attempt to ask her about her day. Although our relationship isn't perfect, (but whose is, right?) I realize now why it got to the point it did. We both made mistakes, but we'll overcome them because we love each other.

Make like a fish and dive into one of three swimming areas with 10 minutes of campus. If swimming laps is the best workout for you, feel free to jump into a lane at the Lawrence Aquatic Center on Kentucky Street or at Robinson Gymnasium just east of Allen Fieldhouse. For the more adventurous type, you can head downtown to the city pool furnished with three diving boards and amusement-style slides.
Lawrence has three public golf courses all within a 10-mile drive of campus. Eagle Bend Golf Course and Alvamar Golf Course both offer discounts for college students with the presentation of your Student ID. You can walk 18-holes on each course for $22 or less.
Student Recreation and Fitness Center. As long as you have your Student ID to get in, the rec center houses 4 basketball courts, two racquetball courts, weight facilities, a running track above the basketball courts, and for the adventurous person a four story rock climbing wall free of charge.
Hold Serve with a game of tennis. The University has eight tennis courts located across the street from
Allen Fieldhouse that can be played on almost any time of day. During the winter months, First Serve located on West Clinton Parkway allows you to keep playing at their indoor facilities. The indoor game will cost more at $34/hour for a court.
Free Cyber Bowling at the Kansas Union. Not only do you get to bowl every Friday and Saturday nights throughout the year for free, you can enjoy a free game of pool or shuffle-board before or after bowling. Shoe rental is free and you can pick up a meal from there for less than $5.
Adult City sports leagues are affordable and supply months worth of fun. Grab your new dorm friends and join a league through the City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation. You can choose from basketball, softball, kickball, dodge ball, or volleyball. You play once a week and won't end up paying more than $35, which breaks down to about$ 3.50 a game.
Intramural Sports at the University. Sports range from floor hockey to flag football. Sports that involve official range from $10 to$ 20 per team and those that do not are free. If you crave to play every sport known to man, intramurals at KU is the way to go. If you make it to the championship in football or basketball you get to play at Memorial Stadium or Allen Fieldhouse - plus a championship shirt for winning. With your championship shirt, you are the who's who on campus.

Student Union Activities organizes many events throughout the year to keep students entertained. Last year Ben Folds came to campus. This year's events will kick off with Hawk Week, a week-long series of events that are designed to welcome returning students to campus, and orientate new students with the University.
Student Union Activities entertains all year

Students in search of big-name entertainers don't need to drive to Kansas City to get their fix. In fact, they don't even need to leave Mount Oread. Student Union Activities provides students with everything from
stand-up comedians to fashion shows.
SUA will make its presence felt this week by putting on its annual Hawk Week, a welcome party for new and returning students. Bringing students together is a big part of what SUA does, said Lauren Lakebrink, Liberty, Mo., junior and SUA special events coordinator.
"I came in as a sophomore and
nard leeck
I didn't really know anybody and I immediately had a group of people to associate with," she said.
Since 1938, SUA has kept students entertained, and it doesn't appear this year will be any different.
"There's no reason to sit in your dorm and be homesick and bored," said Susan Hoffman, assistant director for union programs. "I can't imagine there will be one slow night."
Comedian Wanda Sykes is scheduled to perform at the Lied Center on Oct. 29 as part of the Homecoming celebrations. Chris Daniels, the stuntman used in all three Spiderman movies, will give a lecture on Aug. 29 in the Kansas Union.
Those who like their entertainment in the form of football can get a lift to Manhattan on Oct. 6 when Kansas takes on Kansas State. A fee of $50 dollars ($ 40 with an SUA card) buys a bus ride, lunch and a T-shirt.
This semester will also see the return of the University's version of the hit TV show "Project Runway." Participants will be presented challenges before they go down the catwalk in the fashion show finale.
Other activities are permanent fixtures in SUA's lineup. The Campus Movies program screens a different film, usually one that hasn't been released on DVD, every week.
Students can purchase an SUA Preferred Student Card for $30. The card gets students free admittance to some events, such as Campus
Movies, and it provides discount admission to special events.
With all this entertainment within reach, boredom is not an option.
"We try to really round out the college experience," said Stephanie Patyk, Wichita junior and SUA president. "We try to hit all the different areas."

June came and went with Henrickson leading three different camps. In July, she traveled for two weeks on recruiting visits before returning to Lawrence for her fourth and final camp of the summer. Henrickson won't have the opportunity to catch her breath in August as her team immediately sets off to play semi-pro women's teams in Australia. Amidst the hectic schedule, the Kansan was able to sit down with the coach and see how everything was going in the world of 'Bonnieball'.
Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson doesn't get summers off. Unlike students who have a lighter summer load, coach Henrickson has been making recruiting visits while also holding basketball camps for children throughout Northeast Kansas.
Kansan: You've just finished your fourth and final camp, did they meet your expectations?
Henrickson: I was extremely pleased. The numbers were very good at the camps. This last camp was with the youngest age level and it's nice
and light-hearted, but we hope they learn a lot from the experience. I like to think of this level as basketball at its purest.
Kansan: Coach, rumor is that you aren't going to bungee jump with the rest of the team when you head to Australia?
Henrickson: (laughs) I'm afraid of heights. I've been on one roller coaster in my life and I wasn't too sure about that. I'll probably just watch everyone else do it.
Kansan: What do you hope to accomplish in Australia?
Henrickson: We are going to have fun. It is going to be a great time for our players and coaches to bond. We are playing four games while we are over there and will have days in between in which we will get to experience some great things. The team will be bungee jumping, we are going to see the Great Barrier Reef, and we have the same tour guide to show us around as when I was at Virginia Tech. I think it will open their eyes. It's nice to not have the language barrier in Australia. We certainly want to go 4-0 while there.
Kansan: What was last year's season like for you? The team was young and certainly had some tough points.
Henrickson: We had seven freshmen last year. At times it was very challenging to watch their growth. For me, professionally it was unique. My staff and myself were disappointed but we couldn't let them know that. The league is so demanding and we had some trouble at different points.
Henrickson: I do have emotion and show emotion, but yes I try to be calm. I never swear. I will tell a player or the team if I'm angry but I try to be consistent.
Kansan: You don't seem to ever get upset or yell, your demeanor seems pretty calm, is that accurate of your coaching style?
Henrickson: I used to golf. Lew (Perkins) would like it if I played more. I'm certainly not as good as I once was but I do enjoy it. I also like to workout when I have the chance.
Kansan: What do you enjoy doing when you have a chance to get outside of basketball?

Replay Lounge named among best bars
REPLAY
Esquire magazine choose the bar as one of the top 50 in America because of its unique appeal
By Ben Smith bsmith@kansan.com
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
With crashes and clatters bringing about cheers and encouragement, patrons of the Replay Lounge send softballs hurling at blue and white beer cans arranged in the manner of bowling pins.
Pinball-inspired murals decorate the walls, and memorabilia from The Simpsons and Spinal Tap hang over the bar. The Replay,946 Massachusetts St., has served Lawrence residents as an arcade, bar and live-music venue since it opened in 1993.
Esquire Magazine named the Replay in its second-annual listing of "The Best Bars in America" in its June issue. The list included 49 other bars throughout the country, as some of "those harmonious and radiant places that serve us drinks, keep us company, and put up with our regrettable behavior."
Steve Topping, a Replay regular, said it was only fitting that The Replay be recognized on a list of the best bars in the United States.
With weekly events like Pabst Blue Ribbon Bowling, the Replay's patrons and bartenders participate in back-patio sports while waiting for the almost nightly musical entertainment to arrive and set up.
Roy "Buddy" Kite, an assistant editor at Esquire, said that he and other staff writers and editors for the magazine pooled together their backgrounds to write the article about venues like The Replay.
"We have guys from all over the country, which is a pretty helpful resource." Kite said. "We also reached
out to all of our freelancers all over the country."
The Esquire list included such bars as John D. D. McGurk's in St. Louis and The Red Key in Indianapolis. Kite said that
Magazine editors reached out to several writers in Kansas for input as to which bars were worthy of consideration. "The name, Replay Lounge, kept coming up," Kite said. "It seemed different from what you'd expect of a bar in Kansas."
Kite said.
Kite said that one of the deciding factors was the Replay's diversity
"We just kept hearing about how strong a music pull it had."
the editors of Esquire intended to highlight the qualities of a good bar and compile a helpful list for travelers.
"Any place that is inviting and comfortable and caters to the local community is a good bar and that varies a great deal from city to city,"
ROY KITE Assistant editor at Esquire
as a live-music venue.
Competent bartenders, reasonable prices, good food and a tasteful lineup of music were
all taken into consideration when deciding which watering holes would make the grade, Kite said.
"We just kept hearing about how strong a music pull it had," Kite said.
Topping said that Lawrence was the perfect place to find the best bar in Kansas.
"Probably 15 bars in Lawrence could have made it on the list," Topping said. "The Bottleneck, The
Granada, Harbour Lights, Louise's Quinton's, dot-dot-dot. The bottom line is that they looked in all 50 states and picked only one bar in each one."
Jason Supernaw, bartender at the Red Lyon Tavern, said he felt that some of the Replay's good attributes included the patio area as well as the drink prices and the music.
"It's a really nice place to drink with a lot of cool people," Supernaw said.
He declined to say anything negative about the Replay on account of his having "friends over there who'd kick my ass."
Nick Carroll, owner of the Replay, said that though the writers of the article had never actually come to the bar, he was proud and honored that his bar had been mentioned.
Kite said that Esquire is planning to expand the online list to provide a forum allowing reader commentary making the list interactive and "more democratic."

Students who are feeling lost can find their way at any number of religious organizations on campus.
A list of all the 45 on-campus religious groups can be found by visiting http://wwwku.edu/organizations/ and then choosing "Religious" from the group search toolbar.
One group is the Muslim Student Association, which is part of a larger, nationwide group of Muslim students.
"Our mission is to have students work as a group in a very peaceful way," said Saleh Alshumrni, former vicepresident of MSA.
faith here on campus and elsewhere, while participating in activities that stay within the frame of Islamic rules.
"I like to work with people and the group gave me the chance to meet different cultures and people," he said.
Group membership is open to students of all faiths and Alshummi said he got involved with the group to serve his religion and make new friends.
He said the group tries to remove the misconceptions about the Islamic
To join the group, check out the
Alshummi said some of the more popular events the group sponsors every year are the Fast-A-Thon during Ramadan and Islamic Awareness Week, which features a different activity every day including an open house at the Islamic Center of Lawrence at 19th and Naismith streets and various lectures during the rest of the week.
MSA's Web site at www.msaku.com.
Another group is KU Hillel, which is a Jewish student organization that's been active on campus for six years.
Liz Cohen, a member of the senior advisory group for KU Hillel, said the first opportunity to get involved with the group will come on the first Sunday after classes start. KU Hillel will sponsor a get-together at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St., which will feature a comedy group, lots of ice cream and new friends because anybody is welcome.

Shoes are removed before meditation and chanting begins for the members of the KU Amitabha Buddhist Association. The Buddhists gathered at 7:30 Friday night for two hours of meditation in 4007 Wesco. KU Amitabha Buddist Association was started in 1992 and became an official association in 1998.
The group also wants to focus on larger world issues such as sustainability and will sponsor a number of lectures and events this year.
Cohen said the best way to get involved with KU Hillel is to go to Hillet-sponsored program or contact a student already in the group.
She too has made a number of friends since joining the group.
"It makes KU seem like a smaller community," Cohen said. "Everyone's really close."
If students are looking to meet a group of like-minded individuals who get together to discuss different aspects of the Pagan religion, the Wiccan Pagan Alliance might be a nice fit.
Recent graduate and former member Chelsea Medlock said the group discusses different Pagan topics and spells during its meetings and that every six weeks the group takes time to celebrate different Pagan holidays.
"Usually we have a ritual showing reverence for the earth and the deities and elements," Medlock said.
She said the group is open to all faiths and students can join by going to the group's Web site at http://groups.ku.edu/~wpa01.
Some members of Christ Community Evangelical Free Church, 1100 Kasold Dr., formed the Crossroads Student Ministry so students at the church could have access to meeting places on campus.
Mark Knight, pastor to students at Christ Community Church, said the group doesn't meet regularly on campus, but at the church does hold weekly Bible study sessions at 10 a.m. at the church.
Students can join the group by going to the church and Knight said the group was open to anybody.
"You don't even have to be a Christian, but you're going to hear about Christ at our group." Knight said.

Murphy Hall reaches 50 years
Theatrical shows celebrate milestone with performances
BY SAM CARLSON
scarlson@kansan.com
A conman, Rumpelstiltskin, and men dressed in evening gowns and swimsuits will be there.
Murphy Hall, the Music and Dramatic Arts Building at the University and home to University Theatre, is throwing a party. This academic year marks the 50th anniversary of the building. To celebrate the milestone, University Theatre is hosting various events along with regular performances throughout the fall and spring semesters.
Kicking off the fall semester is "Pageant-The Musical," a parody of beauty pageants that places men in stiletto heels and makeup to portray female pageant contestants.
"Pagent" was so popular when it was performed in the summer that University Theatre decided to bring it back for four encore performances that will take place Aug. 30-Sept.2.
Charla Jenkins, director of public relations for University Theatre, said the demand for summer tickets to "Pageant" was overwhelming.
"We didn't have any idea wed have people fighting over tickets," she said.
The Music Man, a musical that first appeared on Broadway in 1957—the same year Murphy Hall was dedicated—tells the story of a conman who falls in love with a librarian in a small Iowa town.
"That's sort of what we're pinpointing as the anniversary production," said Jenkins.
The Music Man will be performed in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre, located in Murphy Hall. Nov. 9-11 and 15-17.
Other celebratory activities include Alums Come Home, an event hosted by the Department of Theatre and Film that draws theatre and film alums. Alums Come Home will take place April 24-27, 2008.
In the spring semester, the theatre will stage "Rumpelstiltskin" and Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night."
From contemporary plays to the classics, University Theatre serves as an alternative entertainment option for students, Jenkins said.
"We're the only educational theatre in town. It's very important for our students to have audiences to perform for," she said.

Stop and visit hidden campus treasures
Museums and exhibits on campus showcase things like art, the study of life and Kansas basketball tradition
VAN
The Booth Family Hall of Athletics displays Kansas' athletic programs, including its rich basketball history. The Natural History Museum and the Spencer Museum of Art also feature free displays on campus.
KANSAN FILE PHOTOS
By Sam Carlson scarlson@kansan.com
Dotted around campus are buildings that many students overlook. But inside these hidden treasures are plenty of sights worth seeing. And best of all, they're free. Here are just a few examples.
Spencer Museum of Art
Located behind the Kansas Union, the museum is home to 22,000 pieces, from prints and photographs to sculptures and quilts. The 20/21 Gallery, a 30,000 square foot space that includes pieces from the 20th and 21st centuries, was unveiled in mid-July. Crews had worked on the gallery since December. A hanging work made of human hair is just one of the 10,000 pieces that make up the gallery.
"I think this will be a pretty spectacular way to start the school year," said Bill Woodard, Spencer Museum of Art director of communications.
Woodard also said that the museum isn't just for art students. He said it's a great place to take a date because it's free and is close to the Kansas Union, where couples can bowl or get coffee.
"Students should take great pride and not just use this as a place for class," Woodard said.
Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center
Take a close look at the carvings in the stone archway surrounding the door of Dyche Hall (where the museum is located) and you'll see what
some believe to be an early representation of the Jayhawk. Dyche Hall was completed in 1903 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
"There's nothing else like it on the hill," said Jen Humphrey, communications director for the museum.
The museum showcases the study of life, and houses live snakes, fish and an active beehive that visitors can view (from behind glass, of course).
"KU students who are from Kansas and especially those that aren't can get to know this area they're living in," Humphrey said.
Booth Family Hall of Athletics
Anyone who has visited Allen Fieldhouse since January 2006 has seen firsthand the addition to the home of the men's and women's basketball teams.
The building contains six different exhibits that document and display the history of all Kansas athletics, not just basketball. Among the artifacts on display are trophies and old and current uniforms.
The Story of Sport exhibit even highlights those University sports that have been dropped over the years, such as field hockey, gymnastics and boxing.
Candace Dunback, curator at the Hall, said both current and former students can gain a deeper appreciation for the mascot and University traditions, such as the Rock Chalk Church.
"A lot of our students have families that are alums. Their families appreciate it," Dunback said. "They can get an idea of their roots."

Q & A with housing director
Card readers are being installed
BY JOE CAPONIO
jcaponio@kansan.com
On May 27, the University named Diana Robertson as the new director of the Department of Student Housing. Robertson had been interim director since February 2006, and she now takes over the University's housing facilities, in which 5,200 students reside.
The Kansan caught up with Robertson after her first month on the job.
Kansan: What first attracted you to come work at KU?
Kansan: Does anything change in terms of your work now that you've had the interim tag removed from your title?
Robertson: I was looking for an opportunity to advance in my field and felt like KU had an outstanding housing program that I would like to be a part of.
Robertson: My responsibilities have been broadened and it gives me an opportunity to guide the future direction of the department and to facilitate the type of student housing operation that we want to offer KU students.
Kansan: Do you expect to be'at KU for the long haul?
Robertson: I do. This is a career goal of mine to become a director of student housing, so I hope to stick around for a very long time.
Kansan: What are some of the challenges of working at such a large university?
Robertson: We have so many different students with so many different kinds of needs so we work to try and meet those various needs, whether it's students with families, graduate students or international students.
Kansan: What are some things you are looking to improve upon in the housing department?
Robertson: We're focusing on being real planful with our facilities, our renovations and our educational efforts for students.
Kansan: What is your general long-term goal for the housing
department?
Robertson: My goal is to make sure that we're providing comfortable, safe and convenient living spaces for students where they can feel like they belong and can call home. This facilitates them to focus on their academic and educational interests at the University.
Kansan: What changes can students expect to see when they return to the residence halls in August?
Robertson: The one thing that students might see is that we're making some changes to the security features in the halls. We're working toward the installation of card readers on the exterior doors of the buildings that returning students would definitely notice.
Kansan: What is your favorite thing about working at KU?
Robertson: I love working with the students and helping them achieve their goals. I love the people that I work with. We have an incredible staff, not just in the department, but around campus and I really enjoy those interactions.

College is accompanied by a heavier course load for incoming students. Time management and good study habits will help students to juggle their course work and excel in their studies.
Budgeting time makes work manageable
BY KYLE CARTER
kcarter@kansan.com
College experiences vary widely during a student's time on campus but all share at least one common theme: academics.
Movies show college students
Movies show living it up at keg parties and eating pizza three times a day, but the reality is that there is a less glamorous side to college life.
David Holmes, professor of psychology, said the freedom of college life caused some students to neglect their studies.
eyelids came from his laziness. He said he picked up better study habits after that semester and now has a 3.5 grade point average in the School of Business.
"In college we don't say 'ok, tonight read pages x, y and z.'" he said. "They put off studying, and then get hit by a truck of an exam."
"Success is all about study habits. College is about studying and learning; this is not a playpen."
DAVID HOLMES Professor of psychology
Holmes said establishing a routine was critical in college.
Alex Svoboda, Overland Park junior, said the workload in college surprised him his freshman year. With 15 credit hours his first semester, including calculus and finance, he had to spend more time studying than he planned. Svoboda recalled a night during his first final week when he stayed up all night writing a paper and then took a final immediately after finishing.
"Success is all about study hab-

its", he said.
"College is about studying and learning; this is not a playpen."
Students who need help establishing good study habits can visit the Freshman Sophomore Advising
Center, 126 Strong Hall. Director Tammara Durham said advisers helped students figure out which courses they needed to take and devise a plan to graduate on time.
"It helps make the journey more manageable if they have the road map in front of them and they know where they're going," she said.
Advisers can also help students choose a major, but Durham said it wasn't necessary for students to make a choice during their first year.
Holmes agreed that students should keep their options open if they weren't sure what to study.
"I think it is important to stay intellectually loose and sample widely," he said. "College exposes you to many ideas and possibilities you've never thought of."

A team of trivia contestants discuss possible answers to a question. With the emergence of television shows like "The World Series of Pop Culture", trivia games have caught on around town.
And the correct answer is... Trivia contests a big hit throughout Lawrence's bar scene
BY JAIME NETZER
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
A scorekeeper tallies the number of correct answers during a trivia game. Trivia players often encounter bizarre questions ranging from pop culture to world geography.
jnetzer@kansan.com
The host announced the final category: this day in history. Laura Watkins, 2006 graduate, took a swig of her Newcastle and decided with the three guys on her team to bet all of their points. They were far behind the other 11 teams playing at the Brick, 1727 McGee St. in Kansas City, Mo., that Friday night, and had nothing to lose.
"On what show was John Lennon's death first announced?"
Watkins was worried. Under pressure her memory is horrible, she says.
Then it hit her.
"Just from a time I randomly vegged out in front of VH1 for like, 20 hours, I remembered it
was announced on Monday Night Football. Watkins says.
Because of Watkins's ability to retain this seemingly useless piece of information, her team was the only one to answer the question correctly. They won first place.
Watkins is one of several dozen regular trivia players in Lawrence. She plays almost every week in different bars around town. Watkins says she enjoys trivia because she's naturally competitive and learns interesting, random facts. But the main reason she plays is to spend time with her friends, she says.
So if youre stuck in Lawrence during spring break, avoid the usual get-drunk-and-stand-around routine, and give trivia a try — you just might learn something useless.
What is trivia?
Trivia first took off in the United States in 1927, although the term wasn't coined until the 1960s. The publication of a series of popular quiz books called Ask Me Another, filled with questions like "what is a Bunsen burner?" and "how do kangaroos carry their offspring?" got Americans hooked on quizzing themselves.
Trivia in Lawrence is set up in a system similar to the one used on Jeopardy! Teams select categories and answer questions for points. One team can challenge another team if they think the other team won't be able to come up with the answer. If the other team fails, the original team receives double the points. If the team being challenged answers the questions correctly, they receive

The points are also doubled in the second round, and at the end comes a final question, for which teams know the category and must make a wager before they are asked the question. The team with the most points wins.
Smackdown in L-town
Several bars around town host trivia nights. Andy Morton hosts what is arguably Lawrence's most popular trivia night, Smackdown! Trivia at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.
"There are a lot of people that just remember the strangest things," Morton says. "Where else are you going to be able to vomit up all of that knowledge?"
Jon Nicklas, Overland Park senior and a regular trivia player, says that people who are into trivia are usually relatively smart people who like to learn eclectic information that can come in handy during conversation.
"For some reason, I like knowing obscure facts," Nicklas says.
The best moments in trivia are when the answer hits you like a bolt of lightning, says Dan Pierron, Olathe senior, who plays and hosts trivia regularly in Lawrence.
Pierron's love of rivia began with Trivial Pursuit when he was a kid. He participated in scholars' bowls in high school and now plays at bars for fun. During school breaks, he usually doesn't miss an episode of Jeopardy! he says.
Some people might be naturally more inclined than others to soak up trivial information, says Ray Hamel, a former trivia writer for the New York Times and co-author of The New York Times Trivia Quiz Book. He says that the ability to recall trivia is a talent that people are born with.
"I've known people who try blunt
force memorization of facts," Hamel says. "Trivia people want to know what they know; studying takes the fun out of it."
Both Hamel and Morton, the trivia host, have experience on the other side of the trivia aisle as well: they have to write it. Hamel says that most of the puzzles he writes begin with a basic theme and he then formulates questions related to that theme. Most of the questions come straight from his own trivia-filled memory, Hamel says.
I Prayed for You

He then fills in the last few pieces needed by looking online or in a thesaurus.
The host of a trivia contest announces questions and correct answers to a field of players. Several bars in Lawrence offer trivia as a form of entertainment.

Morton has to write 100 new questions each week for Smackdown! Trivia, an event he has hosted for seven years. "Do that math," he says. Sometimes it feels like a chore for Morton, and other times he has no

ers" and teams who play trivia create team names like "the Fibonacci Sequins" and "the Amazing Racists".
Morton says that sometimes he intentionally tries to irk people with the categories he creates. His favorite example? Full House questions.
Trivia is a creative effort; hosts come up with categories like "celebrity pedophiles" and "famous cheat
The winners of trivia usually earn a small cash prize, but they also walk out with enough tidbits of worthless information to add up to one bloated ego and several weeks' worth of bragging rights.

Alumni have favorite spots as students
In 20 years, little has changed as far as places to hang out are concerned

Whether it's 1986 or 2006, KU students have always had school traditions.
"I loved
to go there, though, since I was an undergraduate."
Too much studying depletes a student's mind and stomach, so going on a food run was still the typical thing to do. In response to where students went, Kevin Hawley, 1978 graduate said Joe's Bakey, 616 W. 9th St, was the place to go.

Professors love tradition of Homecoming events
Marching band, spirited games are among highlights
BY LAURA VEST editor@kansan.com
Tailgating and post-game parties are among some of the most highly-prized festivities that marked Homecoming tradition.
There are other traditions, too. Students don't always think them, but professors do—especially since many of them have taught at the University of Kansas for several years.
Lloyd Sponholtz, an associate professor of history who has taught at the University since 1967, mentioned a love for the band, parades and floats.
"I also like the coaches and their pep talks, the student leaders and the Rock Chalk (chant)," he said.
Bernie Kish, professor of sports management and ethics, said he loves reuniting with alumni and former friends and seeing the students interested in football. He said he appreciated a football

George Wilson, professor of chemistry for 20 years and associate vice provost for research, said Homecoming has a special purpose on campus.
"The importance is placed on the undergraduate experience," Wilson said. "Tied to this is the need to remain connected with alumni, so if KU Homecoming accomplishes that in part, then it may be quite important."
Whether the festivities lie in a 'perfectly-timed' homework project, in a frozen hand grasping an ice-cold beverage or in the midst of several fans clad in crimson and blue, Homecoming is a time for all to celebrate.

ARCHAEOLOGY
Discovery may be rare tomb
Underground chambers may house remains of Aztec ruler
BY MARK STEVENSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — Mexican archaeologists using ground-penetrating radar have detected underground chambers they believe contain the remains of Emperor Ahuizot, who ruled the Aztecs when Columbus landed in the New World. It would be the first tomb of an Aztec
ruler ever found.
The find could provide an extraordinary window into Aztec civilization at its apogee. Ahuizuol (ah-WEE-zoh-tuhl), an empire-builder who extended the Aztecs' reach as far as Guatemala, was the last emperor to complete his rule before the Spanish Conquest.
Accounts written by Spanish priests suggest the area was used by
the Aztecs to cremate and bury their rulers. But no tomb of an Aztec ruler has ever been found, in part because the Spanish conquerors built their own city atop the Aztec's ceremonial center, leaving behind colonial structures too historically valuable to remove for excavations.
One of those colonial buildings was so damaged in a 1985 earthquake that it had to be torn down, eventually giving experts their first chance to examine the site off Mexico City's Zocalo plaza, between the Metropolitan Cathedral and the ruins of the Temple Mayor pyramid.

Heat affects move-in day
Tents, drinks provide relief for students and parents
BY SARAH NEFF

The parking lots in front of the dorms on Daisy Hill were filled with moving vans, SUVs, boxes, furniture and students with their parents on Sunday.
This year, the housing department decided to change the move-in time from 8 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. to give students a chance to move in before the heat of the day set in.
Shanna Doering, Mulvane senior and resident assistant at Hashinger Hall, said she got up at 6 a.m. to get ready to help new residents check in.
"A lot of people have been taking advantage of the cooler hours," Doering said.
Roger and Leslie Williams, parents of Hunter Williams, Shawnee freshman, arrived for the move in around 8 a.m. They weren't scheduled to move in until 2 p.m.
Hunter said he was excited about moving.

Hunter is first child in the Williams family to go away to college, and Roger said the feeling was bittersweet.

"I'm probably forgetting something though." Hunter said. "But I guess that's normal."
"It's a big step and a lot of preparation, but you never know if it's enough," Roger said. "It's important they work things out for themselves and this is a good time for them to start."

Leslie said she was excited, but she was also having some
"I can't stop and think about it ver
much because I get emotional" Leslie said.

Plan to develop hotel not yet affecting bar
Crossing still open despite Eldridge Hotel proposal
Developers' plans to build a hotel on the current site of The Crossing, Beat the Bookstore and the recently-closed Yello Sub may go to a vote as soon as next month, but Phil Mears, manager of The Crossing, said he does not know of any plans to close his doors just yet.
Gene Fritzel Construction and Paul Werner Architects are the developers waiting to receive approval from the city of Lawrence to build a high-rise hotel called Eldridge on the Hill on the site at 12th and Indiana streets.
Approval for the construction would also mean demolition of the bar popular among KU students and the textbook store that has been open since May. However, Mears said he expected The Crossing to remain open for the entire school year, as well as next year.

odd news
Boy trapped in store's gun safe for 15 minutes
WORCESTER, Mass. — Gun safes are supposed to keep children out, but a 10-year-old boy managed to lock himself in.
Daniel Jancura and two other boys were playing with a safe on display at a Sam's Club on Monday when he became trapped inside. It was at least 15 minutes before firefighters and store employees could get him out.
"I was pretty scared," the Rutland boy said. "It was hot."
Daniel's mother, Laura Jancura, had brought him, his older brother and a cousin on a shopping outing. The boys came across the safe which is 5 feet tall,30 inches wide and 22 inches deep — while she wasn't looking.
Playing with the key pad on
the lock, they somehow managed to open the door. Daniel crawled inside and the door locked behind him.
Store employees were able to get an override code from the manufacturer.
"My back was turned for five minutes,"she said.
Slowing down things, however, was a security feature that locks the key pad for at least 5 minutes so no new code could be entered.
Buddhist sect sets aquatic creatures free into river
PATERSON, N.J. — Members of a Buddhist sect bought hundreds of eels, frogs and turtles and set them free in the Passaic River, hoping they would survive and realize their karmic potential.
The act did nothing for the karma of the state Department of Environmental Protection, which
Authorities said they had not found members of the New York-based Buddhist group yet, but the newspaper said it talked to one member, Ann Chin.
said the Amitabba Buddhists did not have a permit and may be subject to fines up to $1,000.
She said their intent was to save the animals, bought in New York's Chinatown, that had been destined for dinner tables.
Permits are required for releasing critters into the wild, and New Jersey is reluctant to issue them for anything beyond stocking fish ponds because of concern that nonnative species could harm the local ecosystem.
The Passaic has been cleaned up in recent years and Boriek said the animals released Sunday might have a chance of survival.
"When I pass by the fish market, i cry," Chin said. "I tell people:'Stop killing them.'Then:'Don't eat them.'
Then your heart goes to mercy."
Ohio jurors banned from watching 'CSI' shows
HAMILTON, Ohio — Most jurors are told not to read news about their case. Jurors in Butler County can't even look forward to their weekly installment of "CSI."
Common Pleas Judge Patricia Oney tells sitting jurors in this southwest Ohio city they can't watch shows ranging from the "CSI" crime scene investigation shows to the several "Law &amp; Order" series.
"So many shows now are pulled in part from cases all over the country." Oney said, "I don't want jurors watching them while they are in deliberation."

CONSTRUCTION
Crossing not to close immediately
BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com
Breathing room was the only thing in short supply at The Crossing Tuesday night. Students packed every square inch inside the barroom and on the outside porch.
Crowded nights like that occur regularly at The Crossing. And despite a proposal to build a hotel at 12th and Indiana on The Crossing's land, manager Phil Mears said the bar had four years remaining on its lease and the patron-packed nights would continue
"We don't have any future plans other than what we know," Mears said. "We fully anticipate being open for the entire school year and next."
The Crossing, along with Beat the Bookstore and the recently closed Yello Sub, could be demolished to make room for Eldridge on the Hill, a hotel proposed by developer Gene Fritzel Construction and designer Paul W尔恩 Architects. The group submitted an application to City Hall in July. The proposal will likely be up for a public hearing in September.
The Crossing, Eldridge on the Hill is not.
The seven-story, brick and stone structure would include five floors of hotel rooms and two floors for extended stays. A restaurant and bar would be on the first floor.
The proposed design also calls for a traffic circle between the current site of The Crossing and the Docking Family Gateway north of the Kansas Union. It would be similar to the circle around the Chi Omega fountain.
Mears said none of three people behind the project, Thomas Fritzel, Paul Werner and Robert Patroff, owner of The Crossing's land, had spoken with him or Dave Boulter, The Crossing's owner.
He said The Crossing re-negotiated a five-year lease with Patroff last year. Mears said the only way the developers could demolish the bar was if they bought it out through an option in the lease.
Beat the Bookstore is another business that would be demolished if the proposal passes. The store, which has been open since May, is one of 27 franchises across the country that specialize in buving and selling used books
Dan Keating, co-owner, said that since its opening, his store has been more successful at buying back books than any other franchise. That success makes the possible demolition harder to face.
"We really like this location," Keating said, "but if we have to go, we have to go. Wed still like to find a new place in town somewhere."
They will only need to do that if the proposal passes, which may not happen easily. Two factors are necessary for it to pass: compliance with historic zones and approval from the Oread Neighborhood Association.
The proposed structure would be surrounded by the Oread and Hancock Historic Districts. Werner said the Eldridge on the Hill plan called for a facade similar to houses in the area and renovation of the nearby Oread Apartments. The developers hope those steps will solidify the proposal's chances for approval. They might not be enough.
A proposal last year for condominiums at the same location failed, largely because the high-rise structure did not meet historical standards. Despite Eldridge on the Hill's designers' steps to historicize it, the hotel's large size is similar to that of the failed condominiums.
"This new building might not fare any better," said Sandra Day, Lawrence city planner. "It could still ultimately have a recommendation for denial."
But Eldridge on the Hill does have neighborhood support. Day and Werner said that, unlike last year's failed proposal, the Oread Neighborhood Association endorsed this new structure.
The developers are unlikely to please students though. Although Beat the Bookstore is a new business, The Crossing has been a popular hangout of students for years. Diana Hall, Horton senior, said she would miss the bar if it were demolished.
"The Crossing is all about tradition," she said. "It's part of the KU experience. When I'm here, it's like I'm in my hometown."

Trial date set for January in Kelsey Smith abduction case
BY MARIA SUDEKUM FISHER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLATHE — A judge on Wednesday set a trial date for the man accused of kidnapping, raping and strangling an 18-year-old woman, whose apparent abduction from a Target store parking lot was captured on videotape.
Johnson County District Judge Peter Ruddick set edwin R. Hall's capital murder trial for Jan. 14. Ruddick also heard arguments from both sides about how DNA evidence in the case should be provided to the defense.
Hall, 26, Olathe, is charged with
capital murder, kidnapping, rape and
aggravated sodomy in the slaying of Kelsey Smith, of Overland Park. He has pleaded not guilty.
Hall is accused of abducting Smith on June 2 from the Target parking lot in suburban Kansas City. Grainy surveillance video from the store appeared to show Smith being confronted and pushed into her car.
Her body was found four days later in a park about 20 miles away in Missouri. Hall was interviewed and arrested June 6, after he saw himself on television in surveillance video and contacted a lawyer, who contacted police.
At the hearing Wednesday, one of Hall's lawyers, Paul Cramm, said
defense experts would need to view the DNA that had been collected and processed by the state in an "unlocked" electronic format. That would give defense experts "the freedom to analyze the material," Cramm said.
“Particularly now, where there’s a request with the death penalty on the table, I cannot imagine not having the evidence in the same format as the state, even with far less jeopardy at stake,” Cramm said.
But Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline argued the unlocked format was unnecessary.
"The science of DNA is firmly based on credibility and accreditation."
tion of laboratory protocol established through validation testing. If you alter those protocols, you eliminate the science," Kline said.
But Ruddick ordered prosecutors to turn over to the defense in an unlocked format any DNA that was destroyed or significantly reduced in testing. DNA analyses that were not destroyed in testing would be provided in the locked format, but the defense would have access to that DNA for its own testing.
Cramm has also requested that prosecutors provide the defense with all copies of files on Hall maintained by the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services.

Workshops teach women to handle violent situations
BY ERIN SOMMER
esommer@kansan.com
The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center hosts the first of several self-defense workshops for women tonight from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Rec Fest in the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said the workshops would teach women how to hit, kick and yell properly if they find themselves in a violent situation.
"Self-defense is a mindset of believing in your ability to handle these situations," Rose-Mockry said. "The instruction will cover a range of physical moves that have been known to be good self-defense techniques."
The workshops are taught by Susan and Do Booth, who own Premier Martial Arts in Lawrence. The Women's Resource Center's Sexual Violence Prevention Services will sponsor the workshops,
"People who know these techniques handle themselves confidently" she said.
Confidence is the best way to avoid violent confrontations, Booth said.
Susan Booth said the workshops are hands-on and will teach practical ways to avoid confrontations and defense moves to use should a woman be faced with a violent situation.

Booth said that women faced with a predator should be assertive.

Rose-Mockry said she hopes to offer self-defense workshops frequently throughout the year and plans to schedule more workshops this academic year.
"It does raise awareness of the importance of doing something like this," Rose-Mockry said.
The workshops are only for women, but Rose-Mockry said that men interested in learning self-defense should contact the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.

A crowd assembled to dance to the beat of amateur african drum group KJADDE on Wednesday afternoon. The group performed a free concert and invited onlookers to dance along.
Drum group promotes African culture
BY SARAH NEFF
sneff@kansan.com
Khalid El-Hassan sat on the steps in front of Wescoe Hall Wednesday afternoon as the Kansas University Drumming and Dancing Ensemble began to play.
His foot started to tap and then he started to sway back and forth. He stood and started to shuffle in a fluid motion to the beat. As the drums intensified, El-Hassan began turning in small circles, his feet hitting the ground in unison with each pound of the drums.
He turned to the small crowd that had gathered at the drum circle to
invite the audience to join in the dance. Several people took him up on the offer and soon the whole crowd was involved. The people who remained seated or standing were tapping their feet, and one man was shaking a cup of ice to the rhythm of the song.
KUADDE formed last spring to promote Africa's talent and culture, and to interest students in learning more about Africa.
The free concert was put together to kick off the fall semester for the Kansas African Studies Center. El-Hassan, associate director of the center, helped organize the event to announce the center's activities and to promote the program. He said that Africans have a
saying about drumming.
"If you can walk, you can dance, and if you can talk, then you can sing. But, drumming you have to learn." El-Hassan said.
KUADDE has been practicing together all summer to prepare for upcoming events this semester. El-Hassan said KUADDE promotes diversity on campus. The group itself has a diverse make-up: some are graduate students, some are undergraduate, some are non-traditional students with grown children, some are from Africa and some are from Kansas.
Karimi Kanga, Nairoi Kenya, senior, dances with the group. She
said KUADDE gives her a sense of community and belonging.
"Coming as an international student is a major culture shock," Kanga said. "The dancing gives you something from Africa you need so much. It's a group that just brings us together."
The free concert will continue from noon to 1 p.m. today on Wescoe Beach. KUADDE will also collaborate with the Spencer Museum of Art for a tailgating party on September 15. More information about the group can be found at www.kasc.ku.edu.

Salesmen solicit fake subscriptions
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
Becky Getman thought the two men standing in her doorway were
just students wanting to introduce themselves.
They were not.
"We had just had a get-to-know everyone activity," said Getman, a St. Louis sophomore.
"I thought they were from my floor."
They were not.
The two men reportedly went to Templin and Lewis Residence Halls Tuesday a fternoon and evening attempting to sell magazine subscriptions to
Langtry and Kameter then called police and filed a non-criminal offense report. When an officer arrived, he called the number on the receipt and the man who answered said the number was for

students. But according to a release from the KU Public Safety Office, the company the two men claimed to represent did not exist.
Getman and her roommates turned the men away. Other students did not.
About 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, two white males described as about 25-years-old reportedly arrived at Elise Langry and Aryn Kamerer's room on the fifth floor of Lewis Hall. Langry and Kamerer bought a $4 subscription, each paying $20. They said the men gave them a receipt with the name Element Sales on it, a St. Joseph, Mo, address and a phone number.
Soon after they bought the subscription, Langtry and Kramer heard someone else tried to contact the phone number on the receipt, and it was a private number. Langtry and Kamerer went to the residence hall's lobby and found the men who sold the magazines. They demanded a refund. The men obliged.
his mother's cell phone, according to the report. The officer said the woman knew nothing about Element Sales. St. Joseph police said the address on the receipt wasn't a "good" address, according to the report.
Two students in Templin Hall also filed reports with the KU Office of Public Safety. Getman didn't file a report but said the men tried to sell her
magazines. She described an experience similar to the one Langtry and Kamerer filed in their report. Getman also said the men told her that they were selling magazines to earn a trip to Europe. She said men tried to sell her magazines last year using the same story. Getman thought those men were involved in the same plan as the ones from Tuesday.
"They were the smooth-talking salesman type," Getman said. "If you're not used to it, it could be tough to turn them down."
Signs in Templin and Lewis are stationed at the front desks warning students to report anything about people selling magazines. The Department of Student Housing prohibits soliciting in the residence halls. The KU Public Safety Office warned students that by signing up for these deals they could be giving the solicitor everything needed for identity theft.

"Always the 'Best' Specials, Always the 'Most' Fun!"
Companies, parents wonder what's next
TOY RECALLS
BY ANNE D'INNOCENZIO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Now that toy companies have issued recalls for millions of Chinese-made toys that are either tainted with lead or otherwise hazardous to children, they are scrambling to figure out what to do with them.
Mattel Inc., which on Tuesday
recalled about 19 million toys worldwide, said it was working on a "responsible approach" but could not provide details.
Amid the lack of clarity, many parents are confused about how to dispose of the toys. That may mean many of them will end up in the trash and eventually in landfills, where they could possibly leach toxins into the groundwater.

In Nashville, Tenn., Courtney Wilson discovered she had some recalled Polly Pocket dolls with magnets from Mattel, and she's decided to throw them out. Meanwhile, another parent, Jennifer Mulligan of Franklin, Tenn., is making a different choice: she plans to take the recalled dolls back to the store.
She added: "If we did have an affected toy, I'd see it as lesson for her. ... If there was something wrong with the toy, it's up to the store to replace it with another toy."
All parents know at this point is that they need to get them out of their kids' toy chests.
The most alarming has been the recall of toys covered with lead-based paint. Children who ingest lead-laced paint can suffer brain damage, and improper disposal of lead-based paint can damage the environment.
The Mattel recall is the latest in a slew of recalls involving more than 10 million toys since June in the U.S. alone.
Mattel's recalls cover several hundred thousand "Sarge" vehicles and almost a million toys from its Fisher-Price line, including the Sesame Street and Nickelodeon characters.
Mulligan said that her 6-year-old daughter "probably has about every Polly Pocket ever made."
Its recalls follow the recall of 1.5 million items from RC2 Corp's Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway toy line, announced in June.
Many retailers like Wal-Mart are offering the option of returning the recalled toys to stores where they are sent back to the makers, but they prefer shoppers sending them back to manufacturers in packaging that the maker provides in exchange for a refund.
"Certainly, there is a significant expense to manage a recall," said Eric Johnson, professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. "This is a big headache."
Lead-painted toys fall under the category of products that would need to be destroyed or properly disposed of, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission in Washington, D.C.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Somebody alert the media: It's very hot outside
News agencies fall all over themselves to state the obvious when it comes to the weather
There was an episode of "CSI" in which Gil Grissom and his diverse team of crime scene investigators showed up to find that a father had left his young son in the car on one of the hottest days of the year. Diagnosis: BABY-B-Q.
What got us thinking about this scene, you may ask? The answer: HEAT! Bugger, it's boiling out!
Of course this isn't news to anyone with the unfortunate burden of being alive and mobile during the dog days of summer. If you have an epidermis, it has been burned, if you have sweat glands they are open and flowing and if you've got air-conditioning it is on. If not, you've probably turned the refrigerator on its side so that you can sleep in it as if it were a coffin.
Temperatures are in the hundreds, asphalt is bubbling, and if you're a good grandchild like I am, you're calling at least every other day to make sure Granny isn't spending too much time out in her garden without her big floppy hat and an ice-cold bottle of Eviian.
Anyway, it is hot and the newscasters at all the nearby television stations can't help but feel that we aren't getting that message loud enough or clear enough.
I don't care if the tomatoes are as big as basset hounds, I don't want to have to deal with a heat-stroked Granny (she's addled as it is, kids).
Flip on any local channel and you will see any number of reporters standing out in their lovely suits, the female correspondents invariably in floral scarves, holding up thermometers and water bottles whilst talking over B-roll footage showing dogs panting and people who have no business in shorts wearing shorts. Egad! It is a crisis!
Aside from the standard forecast, telling us what the weather will be like tomorrow through Wednesday of next week, we don't want the television news telling us how HOT it is outside. We can gather that information for ourselves, thank you. Some of us can even breathe on our own and recite the alphabet. We don't need the television news to inform us that we're sweating
HEAT TRACK 2007, with meteorologists Larry, Curly and Moe. Don't trust your senses! Let us tell you what's going on outside!
through our best shirts, sticking to the seats of our cars, burning our fingers on exterior metal door handles and morbidly keeping our eyes peeled at the back seats of cars parked next to ours.
All that need be said is this: "It is hot again today. Keep Fido watered, keep baby out of the car, keep the SPF 10 handy and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Thank you so much. Now on to what color underwear Paris Hilton wasn't wearing today."
Unless the heat causes something to happen, it is not news; it is weather. And it's great that most news outlets in Kansas promise accurate and precise weather coverage when it's needed but, ladies and gentlemen of the press, when it's not needed it's just too much information.
Harry Potter's spell is powerful
Why the boy wizard's epic story is one for the ages and a cultural icon
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the last entry of the famous book series, was released this summer to the eager public with thunderous applause. While this is no review for the last book or the last movie, this is a salute to Harry Potter for its huge impact on our pop culture. I mean, kids are actually reading again. When I was a kid, somebody would have to force me to read a book. These days, many others and I crave something like Harry Potter, hence the astronomical popularity about a boy wizard and his journey to adulthood and maturity, and what a story it was.
It is amazing to think that such an idea for a book was once just a little seed in J.K. Rowling's mind that quickly grew to a phenomenon. It has penetrated the pop culture sphere of influence directly and indirectly. While the direct influence is obvious, it has indirectly found its way into other forms of pop culture. In Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code," his main character Robert Langdon makes a joke about Harry Potter outselling The Bible. "Saturday Night Live" made a skit within the Harry Potter universe, using its terms and concepts as sexual innuendo while Lindsay Lohan (as Hermione Granger) waved her wand while showing a lot of cleavage, while the other characters just
watched. According to Rowling's official website, she was delayed on a train for four hours when the idea of Harry Potter came to her. In just those four hours, with just that little idea, she created the icon that would turn her into the richest woman in Britain.
I think we should really appreciate such aphenomenon, because the size of the impact the Harry Potter series left does not come so often. I would assume that it's safe to say that the last great similar impact on pop
ries was satisfied with the movie trilogy. So I gave the first book a try and it was entertaining, but when I finished the chapter titled "The Mirror of Erased," I put the book down and realized that this was more than just children's literature; this had emo-

culture was the original "Star Wars" trilogy. I honestly wish I would have known and read "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" back when it came out in 1997, but I wasn't aware of its presence until the first movie came out. At first, I did not see the appeal of Harry Potter. I just thought it was kids' stuff. Then I saw the second movie and it got me thinking: Harry Potter is growing up through each book and I expected it would become more mature and exciting for someone my age to read. This was of course, after my craze for "The Lord of the Rings" se-
tions and heartache on the page that, hopefully, most kids do not know at the age of 11. The love for Harry Potter and his adventures now had a heavy beating heart and fans worldwide were beating with it.
Although the supposedly last book has just come out, will that be the end of Potter mania? While plans have been made to make "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" with "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" director David Yates, with the whole cast returning, it is safe to assume Warner Bros.

will make the seventh installment. This guarantees that Potter mania will last a little longer, but will it be as strong? Has the "Star Wars" mania really ended? I would agree that fans still crave "Star Wars," hence the prequel trilogy, the new television series that is being created focusing on other characters in the "Star Wars" universe, and the numerous books and games that are created within the "Star Wars" universe. Are we to think, that after the movies and the rich universe that J.K. Rowling created, that that would be the end of it?
Reasons to keep Potter mania continuing are numerous. There is money that could be made, but what means the most to us fans is that we just want more. Whether its popularity falters or not, the phenomenon of Harry Potter is an experience that I was happy to participate in. While the future of Harry Potter is in the dark right now, I do not think we have seen the last of him.
I just wanted to say that the KU new bus is awesome, and I love it.

Brown is a Lee's Summit, Mo. junior in journalism.
Media division hurts Partisanship poisons journalism
depending on who you ask these days, something is always dying. According to Nas, hip-hop is dead. Ask any writer for "TV Guide" and they will say the three-camera angle sitcom is dead (and reality TV killed it). However, watch an episode of "The O'Reilly Factor" and it will be made perfectly clear that most investigative journalism perpetuated by men and women in coastal enclaves is effectively killing journalism.
that's fit to print."
But is this really so?
JORDAN WILLIAMS
The major issue here seems to be one side of the political spectrum blaming the other side for journalism's death, when journalism appears to be doing just fine. I really don't buy Ann Coulter's schtick about liberal universities pumping their little liberal graduates into the media in order to keep some imaginary stronghold on the public and force it to adhere to liberal philosophy. Just in the same way, Fox News or conservative radio hosts are not out to destroy all
People like Mr. O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann believe that activist, biased reporting is responsible for the demise of journalistic integrity. Take case in point: Mr. Olbermann has a rather humorous moniker for Fox News
Hey, don't get me wrong. I would absolutely jump at the chance to contribute to or work for the Fox News Corporation or MSNBC. I feel both media outlets are very much authentic and worthy of their reputations, but both companies could ease up on the mudslinging of each other. So, enough of those two. How about that New York Times? Almost every conservative pundit nominates this prestigious institution as the bastion of all things liberal, biased and contemptuous of the Bush administration. While the Times has printed some questionable columns, I still believe this paper has the wherewithal to back up its creed of "all the news
Channel; he calls it Fox Noise Channel. The basic premise behind this nickname is that Fox News blatantly disregards the nobility of serious journalism. By constantly employing conservative commentators who seemingly give slanted views on liberal Democrats, Olbermann asserts that this new form of TV journalism sullies the name that journalists like William Allen White and Walter Cronkite had endeavored to create.
Sadly, the pink elephant in the room remains to be that these aforementioned news and opinion journalists aren't willing to accept articles and editorials written or spoken with a differing point of view. It seems like every other week some liberal goes into an apoplexy over some article written by a conservative that may suggest that Osama Bin Laden is a real terrorist, not Rupert Murdoch or any branch of the U.S. military. However, as with most prophecies of doom and gloom, the inevitable silver lining rears its head. Lil' Wayne is giving the breath of life to hiphop, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine on "Seinfeld") continues to generate high ratings and Emmy nominations for CBS. So perhaps Keith Olbermann is a bit premature in pronouncing Fox News as the assassin of all things spoken and scribed with journalistic integrity. But really, can we do something about that Glenn Beck guy?

Members of Phi Beta Sigma perform during Take the Beach. Because of overwhelming heat, boots were set up in the union where students were exposed to resources such as the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Multicultural Center, Study Abroad, Student Union Activities, the writing center and other departments.

Laura Mosher, Houston freshman, studied abroad in Singapore when she was in junior high.
"It was awesome. It was such a great experience," she said.
Mosher was one of more than 200 students and various campus organizations to take part in "Take Over the Beach" at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union. Mosher had always wanted to go back and live overseas, so on Wednesday she picked up some information that could help her do that.
The event, which was sponsored by HAWK Link, was originally scheduled to be held at Wesco Beach on Wednesday afternoon, but was moved to the Ballroom because of the heat. At the event, students learned about different campus groups, including the Office of Study Abroad, the Office of Multicultural
Affairs, Student Involvement Leadership Center and others. Students attending the event enjoyed music, played games and won prizes.
Mosher said while studying abroad she traveled through Europe and visited Thailand, Indonesia and many other countries.
"We learned so much about different cultures and life," she said.
Leah Jordan, peer advisor in the Office of Study Abroad, advised students at the event that studying in another country would be beneficial.
"It's a chance to live as a global citizen," she said. "It really connects you to the world in a way that you can't be if you don't study abroad."
"When you graduate you have friends in other countries, and you get to represent KU and enrich your

college experience," he said.
Elizabeth Harris, first-year graduate student, also attended Wednesday's event. Harris completed her undergraduate degree at Wichita State University and received some information about the Hispanic American Leadership Organization.
HALO serves as a social network for Hispanic and Latino students and offers advice on student housing, employment, financial aid and other information. The group also has dinners and fundraisers throughout the school year.
"They have a lot of neat things going on, and I thought it would be easy to see what they're about," Harris said.

City commissioners discussed options for improving downtown safety Tuesday night, with Commissioner Mike Amyx's suggestion of a disorderly business ordinance gaining support from commissioners and bar owners.
2 10900 00000 4
The disorderly business ordinance would monitor all Lawrence businesses for violence and crime and could impose penalties on the businesses.
"The focus of this issue is public safety," Scott Miller, city attorney, said. "The sole purpose is to stop what would be perceived as a persistent public safety problem."
First, city commissioners discussed an entertainment venue license that would give the city the right to revoke the venue's license. Venues with revoked licenses would be prohibited from hosting any entertainment including live music, dancing or the presentation of audio or visual materials. The entertainment venue license has no control over a liquor license, which only the state can revoke.
The other license discussed was a special use permit. Standards of the permit include hours of operation, the effect on surrounding neighborhoods, security, and crowd control. If the business with a special use permit received a complaint the city could close the business.
After terms and regulations were explained, city commissioners were unsure of the ordinances. Concerns ranged from the control the city had over the businesses to the risk of problems at specific bars harming neighboring venues.
Commissioner Mike Dever was concerned about the close proximity of businesses, and how to distinguish where patrons had been and caused problems.
"I'm not comfortable with the situation of close places," Dever said. "We need to attack the problems, not throw a big blanket over all businesses."
Mayor Sue Hack felt the issue put commissioners in a "terribly awkward and awful" position. She said the agenda shouldn't be turned into to a political statement by city officials.
"My concerns are putting the fate of businesses in the hands of elected officials," Hack said. "I certainly hope we don't have an agenda to do that."
could happen anywhere and regulations shouldn't be focused solely on the downtown. A similar ordinance was created in Taylor's hometown, Sioux City, South Dakota.
During the meeting on Tuesday, local bar and tavern owners expressed their appreciation for the concern of the commissioners. However, owners said the ordinance was too broad and would punish local businesses that didn't have problems and hurt the unique culture of downtown Lawrence.
"It killed the music and theater scene," Taylor said. "I'm having deja vu. I never thought this would happen in Lawrence."
Amyx's disorderly business ordinance would cover all city businesses, and keep track of how many offenses were recorded at the individual location. Amyx said businesses with a high number of violations would need to attend an abatement conference with a city attorney. The failure of an abatement conference would lead to a suit filed with the Municipal Court.
"This is a difficult issue. I didn't like door number one, or number two." Chestnut said. "Maybe it is door number three."
"Bad actors hurt all of us, but please protect the rest of us," Peach Madl, owner of The Sandbar, said.
Commissioner Rob Chestnut said Amyx's proposal might be the solution.
Terry Taylor, an independent promoter, said he moved to Lawrence because of its culture. He said crime
Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highberger said he agreed Lawrence's main attractions needed to be dealt with the right regulations.
"I would like to look at Commissioner Amyx's proposal before moving forward," Highberger said. "Overregulation can kill the music scene, but downtown violence could kill the music scene, too."
The commission agreed to look at a staff review of the disorderly business proposal in September.

The University held its 142nd convocation ceremony last night to mark the beginning of the 2007- 2008 academic year.
Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president and Chancellor Robert Henenway addressed students and faculty members at the Lied Center.
Love encouraged students to "wander off the beaten path" during their time at the University, seeking out new relationships and activities.
Love said that in a University Alumni magazine she received prematurely this summer, she was encouraged to explore University landmarks, such as the Kansas Union and the Chi Omega fountain. She told students to go these to these famous sites, but to also explore the lesser-known parts of the University and Lawrence.
Hemenway said that convocation is one of two times throughout the year that all students and faculty members gather to celebrate academic milestones. He said that the coupling of these two ceremonies, commencement and convocation, in a three-month time span was significant.
"You won't grow and excel in a world you already know and are comfortable in," Love said. "I want you to see college as something more than going to class."
The chancellor said that students might be surprised to know that the two ceremonies are interrelated. He said that whether students were graduating or enrolling, they were part of the University tradition.
Hemenway also told the graduating class of 2011 that being Jayhawks made them unique. He said that among institutions across the United States, 11 have bearcats as their mascots, 23 have bears and 12 have broncos.
"Jayhawks are unique," Hemenway said. "They are totally owned by the students, faculty and staff of the University of Kansas."
The ceremony also included the traditional academic processional, introduction of faculty members by Provost Richard Lariviere, and a greeting from William J. Crowe, president of the University Senate. Crowe told students to spend their time at the University dreaming of the future while being open to new opportunities.
"I urge you to take time to dream for yourself. I also urge you to keep one eye open," Crowe said. "Keep an eye open to the new, the unfamiliar and the challenging."

Local DJ finds true home
Lawrence native gets name out, hosts weekly shows

Ken Soap, who began his professional DJ career in 1998 under the stage name DJ Soap, spins every week at Johnny's Tavern. He started his career playing for free bee at house parties.
If you're looking to hear a large variety of music and have a good time in the process, Ken Soap is your guy. Soap, whose stage name is DJ Soap, is a disc jockey who puts on weekly shows in Lawrence.
Originally from Lawrence, Soap began a professional DJ career in 1998.
"I started college in 1998 in Madison, Wisc." Soap said. "At the time, I was pretty good at math, but I was all about the music."
Soap credits a summer internship for motivating him to consider disc jockeying as a profession.
"I was interning for IBM, but I couldn't picture working there for the rest of my life and began to question what I wanted to do," Soap said. "I felt like I was walking down a path that was expected of me, but I began to think maybe I can change my path and do what I want to do for a living. It was a revelation."
He used money earned through his internship to buy equipment, like his first set of turntables. When Soap began his career, he would work any show he could find, hoping to get his name out to the public.
"You start off for the love of it
"You start off for the love of it — get your name out there, pay your dues and build respect in the business," Soap said. House parties and birthday parties were common events early on, and free beer was
"At some point, you have to treat it like a business and get paid." Soap said.
After making a name for himself in the area, he soon became the host of "Phat Fridays" at Johnny's Tavern, located at 401 N. 2nd St. He still hosts the show today.
"The crowd is always diverse and keeps me on my toes," Soap said. "I'm one of the few DJs that take requests so the music that gets played depends on what the crowd is like."
Soap said that much of the success behind "Phat Fridays" comes

DJ Soap caters to his audience when selecting what music to play. He strays from the mainstream and spins music that local radio stations haven't picked up.
from not limiting the music he spins to one specific genre.
"I don't play one type of music," Soap said. "I really get in the zone and read the crowd. So if there are cowboy hats in the crowd, I'll play country music. On other nights, I might play some house, rap or rock music. I make sure the people are having a good time."
Dave Barton, Salina freshman, attends Soap's shows regularly. He said that Soap is one of the better DJs around because of his diversity and connection to the crowd.
Soap does his best to play what is popular, and occasionally spins songs before they really take off on the radio.
"An example is 'Party like a Rockstar', (by the Shop Boyz) of a song I feel like I was one of the first to spin," Soap said. "I saw that 'Party Like A Rockstar' was number one on Atlanta's charts for weeks last December, so I began to spin that here and got good feedback before local radio got its hands on it."
While DJ Soap has lived in many cities around the country, including Boston, Denver and Minneapolis, Lawrence holds a special place in his heart.
"There's something about Lawrence that when I leave, I always miss it," said Soap, who returned to Lawrence in 2003. "It's pretty fun, especially when school is going on and it's just a hot spot for music."
DJ SOap hosts "Phat Fridays" every Friday night from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. The event is free and open to those 21 and older. He will begin hosting another weekly event tonight at 9 at Axis, 821 S. Iowa St.

IRAQ
U.S. general to suggest troop cuts
BY STEVEN R. HURST
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shift in Sunni loyalty may help counterinsurgency operation
BAGHDAD — The top American commander in Iraq said Wednesday he was preparing recommendations on troop cuts before he returns to Washington next month for a report to Congress, and believes the U.S. footprint in Iraq will have to be "a good bit smaller" by next summer.
But he cautioned against a quick or significant U.S. withdrawal that could surrender "the gains we have fought so hard to achieve."
Gen. David Petraeus said the "horrific and indiscriminate attacks" that killed at least 250 Yazidis, an ancient religious sect, in northwestern Iraq Tuesday night were the work of al-Qaida in Iraq. That would bolster his argument, he said, against too quickly drawing down the 30,000 additional U.S. troops deployed in the first half of the year.
The general issued his comments to a small group of reporters who accompanied him to the
Petraeus listened intently as the so-called Freedom Fighters' 40-year-old leader, who uses the name Abu Abed, explained his transformation and said he switched sides because al-Qaida was ravaging the neighborhood and trying to impose its austere version of Islam.
headquarters of a group of former Sunni insurgents who are now working with American and Iraqi forces against al-Qaida in western Baghdad's Amariyah neighborhood.
Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh, who unexpectedly accompanied Petraeus, promised Abed that the neighborhood — now that it was calmer — would receive priority government attention for its crumbling infrastructure.
"The question is how do you do that ... so that you can retain the gains we have fought so hard to achieve and so you can keep going. Again, we are not at all satisfied we are right now. We have made some progress but again, there's still a lot of hard work to be done against the different extremist elements that do threaten the new Iraq."
Pretraeus, who wrote the Army's book on counterinsurgency, said he and his staff were "trying to do the battlefield geometry right now" as he prepared his troop-level recommendations.
"We know that the surge has to come to an end, there's no question
Petraeus said the shift in loyalty among many Sunni insurgents in some areas was "a pretty big deal."
about that. I think everyone understands that by about a year or so from now we've got to be a good bit smaller than we are right now.
"You have to pinch yourself a little to make sure that is real because that is a very significant development in this kind of operation in counterinsurgency," he said. "It's all about the local people. When all the sudden the local people are on the side of the new Iraq instead on of the side of the insurgents or even al-Qaida, that's a very significant change."

qib Talib is not a quiet guy. On game day his performance screams loud enough to warrant the second-team All-American status he earned last season.

"I have to get that record, I think the record's 10, I just have to get it."
Talib knows his Kansas history. The record he is gunning for in 2007 is the single-season school interception record. After snaring six interceptions last season and two in 2005, the Richardson, Texas, native plans to add to his stat line and the record book in a big way this season.
Talib's talk may sound a bit loud, but he certainly has the credentials to prop up his predictions.
Talib reeled in some regional attention in 2005 thanks to a strong freshman season. He earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mention status from the league's coaches, a rarity for a true freshman. At the start of last season, the accolades began to roll in. Talib's name popped up on watch lists for national defensive awards and the preseason All-Big 12 team.
After sitting out the first two games of the 2006 season, Talib made a lasting impression in the final ten contests.
Although teams often avoided his side of the field, he led the nation in passes defended per game. Talib showed he was more than a shutdown corner, switching to the offensive side of the ball and making a sensational 42-yard touchdown catch at Missouri.
EARNING RESPECT
The most impressive testimonials come not from the stat book or Talib's mouth, but from his teammates and coaches.
"Aqib has developed some of the good, strong leadership qualities that we were hoping for," coach Mark Mangino said. "He's a competitive guy who had to grow and mature as a person, and he's done that. Football is serious business to him."
The coach spent a substantial chunk of his half-hour, media-day press conference heaping praise on the player whom he suspended early last season for unspecified disciplinary reasons. The former rule-breaker has become a leader of the 2007 Kansas team. He was one of four players chosen by teammates as a team captain, and was the only non-senior to earn the distinction.
Mangino said he was pleased with the effort Talib showed in the weight room this offseason and that the cornerback is capable of doing almost anything on the football field.
"Aqib Talib is a very positive dude," junior safety Patrick Resby said. "Everything that comes out of his mouth is positive. He's just a great vocal leader."

Bechard setting up year to make history
rdodd@kansan.com
BY RUSTIN DODD
The office of Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard is playing dual roles these days.
Awards and photographs from Bechard's first nine years at Kansas and his prior 13 years as coach at Barton County Community College take up nearly every inch of wall space in an office that is one part administrative work place and one part trophy room.
The makeshift shrine to Kansas volleyball is a visual reminder of the success Bechard has had during his tenure. But
while Bechard sits three away from becoming the coach with the most wins in Kansas volleyball history, Bechard's thoughts are on rebounding from a disappointing 2006 season.
After reaching the NCAA tournament three consecutive seasons, from 2003 to 2005, the volleyball team finished 2006 with a 10-19 record. Despite the setbacks of last year, Bechard appears poised and confident that his team can regain a place in the upper half of the Big 12 Conference and make a run at an NCAA tournament berth.

The department fired back.

Take into consideration some of the other schools in the Big 12 Conference and the football legacy that each respective program has. If you were to guess which schools in the Big 12 have the highest number of football players enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, you would surely guess football powerhouses like Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma.

BRYAN WHEELER
Kansas football is tied with Nebraska and Oklahoma for second all-time in the conference, behind Texas, for players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, with three: Gale Savers, John Riggins and Mike McCormack.
Gale Sayers was nicknamed the "The Kansas Comet" for his lightning speed and ability to run and catch the ball, as well as to return kickoffs. He remains to this day one of the greatest athletes to play the sport. ESPN ranked him 79th in its list of greatest athletes of the 20th century, and Sporting News ranked him 21st in its list of greatest football players of all-time.
the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Shocking, huh?
A knee injury cut Sayers' career short after seven seasons at the professional level, but he still became the most player, at age 34, ever to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
John Riggins, also a running back who played for Kansas, played for the New York Jets and Washington Redskins in his professional career. Riggins ranks 13th in the NFL all-time in rushing with 11,352 yards and 10th in total touchdowns with 116. In addition to this, he was the Most Valuable Player in Super Bowl XVII in 1983. In 1983, he also had a career high 1,347 rushing yards and set the record at the time for most rushing touchdowns, with 24.

Former referee pleads guilty
Donaghy bet on games, gave tips to big-money gamblers
BY PAT MILTON ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Tim Donaghy started making NBA bets four years ago, and he didn't hesitate to wager on games he worked.
Speaking in code during telephone calls, he tipped off high-stakes gamblers with inside information and recommended which teams to bet on. When his picks hit, he was paid $5,000.
The stunning allegations emerged Wednesday as the disgraced former
NBA referee pleaded guilty to two felony charges in a scandal that rocked the league and tarnished the integrity of the sport.

dict the outcome of NBA games," Donaghy, standing ramrod-straight with his hands clasped in front of him, told the judge in a Brooklyn courtroom.
Donaghy, who was released on $250,000 bond, faces a maximum of 25 years in prison when he is sentenced Nov. 9 for conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting betting information through interstate commerce. He also must pay a $500,000 fine and at least $30,000 in restitution to the government.
Commissioner David Stern said the NBA would "continue with our ongoing and thorough review of the league's officiating program to ensure that the best possible policies and procedures are in place to protect the integrity of our game."
"By having this nonpublic information, I was in a unique position to predict the outcome of NBA games."
Defense attorney John Lauro told The Associated Press that Donaghy was "relieved this part of the proceeding is over and we look forward to completely resolving this matter in the coming months."
"Tim deeply regrets his involvement in this matter and especially the pain it has caused his family, friends and co-workers." Lauro said.
The plea had been widely expected in recent weeks, but court documents released Wednesday revealed new details about the depth of the scandal.

The next day, Donaghy met with
the gamblers in Pennsylvania and received a cash payment, authorities say. A person close to the investigation, speaking on condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing, said the payment was for a successful tip on the 76ers-Celtics time.

Speaking in code during telephone calls, he tipped off high-stakes gamblers with inside information and recommended which teams to bet on. When his picks hit, he was paid $5,000.
"Mr. Donaghy walked away with a nice situation for himself. He is the linchip and he seems to have worked his way into a nice situation," McMahon said. "I don't know if that is fair."
The betting scheme was uncovered during an investigation into the Gambino crime family in Brooklyn. None of the defendants in this case was charged with organized crime affiliation.
"He has no more association with an organized crime family than me, and I'm not associated with any organized crime," said McMahon, Battista's lawyer.
Stern said last month that the FBI first contacted the NBA on June 20 to talk about a referee alleged to be gambling on games, and Donaghy resigned July 9 after 13 years as an official. Stern said he would have fired him sooner but was told it might affect the investigation.
Stern blamed a "rogue, isolated criminal" for a scandal that threatened the credibility of every referee.
Donaghy, who earned $260,000 last year, was rated in the top tier of officials, and there was nothing
suspicious about the frequency of his foul calls, Stern said. He was assigned to work in the second round of the playoffs, with his last NBA game coming during the Phoenix-San Antonio Western Conference semifinal.
Donaghy turned over his passport and must seek permission to travel anywhere other than Pennsylvania, Florida or New York.
The NBA
piaces nuge restrictions on NBA referees when it comes to gambling. They are not allowed to enter a casino, for example.
In court, Donaghy said he is receiving psychiatric treatment for his gambling problem and is taking antidepressant and anxiety medication.

Starting job becoming more likely for Reesing
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
QUARTERBACK NEWS AND NOTES
Although coach Mark Mangino did not officially name a starter, it appears sophomore Todd Reesing has strengthened his grasp on the starting quarterback job. Reesing took nearly all of the snaps with the first team at Monday's open practice, and Mangino praised the sophomore preseason progress.
"He's poised and he's doing the things we need the quarterback to do to lead this offense." Mangino said. "He's doing a very good job at this point in time and we're excited about what he's doing."

When asked whether sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier was injured, Mangino declined to comment on any specifics. He said health did not have a bearing on the competition for the job of quart
Reesing
for the job of quarterback.
PRESEASON POSITION
BATTLES
The battle for playing time on the offensive line became more interesting on Monday. Junior Rameses Arceo worked at right guard with the first team for much of practice. Arceo, who transferred from a junior college before last season, has never seen regular season action as a Jayhawk. As of now, junior Chet Hartley is Arceo's top competitor for the spot.
Junior Tang Bacheyie is the favorite to start at strong safety when the season begins Sept. 1. Bacheyie, a converted running back, is one of several potential starters. Junior Patrick Resby arrived on campus last spring as a highly touted junior college transfer but has not been able to beat out Bacheyie to earn many reps with the first team.
EMERGING FRESHMEN
Since the beginning of fall practice, Mangino has trumpeted the performance of a number of true freshmen. Cornerback Chris Harris and wide receiver Dezmion Briscoe have emerged as possible impact players from the young group. Because of an undisclosed injury to Junior Kendrick Harper, Harris has a shot at starting opposite junior Aguil巴 Talib.
"He has done a remarkable job for a true freshman," Mangino said. "He hasn't hit that freshman wall that some kids do in training camp."
Briscoe lined up with the first team on offense and worked on fielding punts at Monday's practice. Despite his young age, he has a physique for Big 12 Conference football. He stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 200 pounds.

No more No.8 in 2008 for Earnhardt
CONCORD, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. will not be taking his familiar No. 8 with him to Hendrick Motorsports next season.
Earnhardt is leaving Dale Earnhardt Inc. at the end of the season and hoped to take No. 8 with him to his new team. His late grandfather, Ralph, used that number and Earnhardt picked it when he entered the Cup Series in 1999. Although teams do not own numbers — they are leased through NASCAR — DEH had the first right of refusal on the No. 8, and Hendrick officials said Wednesday they were unable to reach an agreement that would have made DEI pass on choosing the number for 2008. "We've been working hard to secure the No. 8 for Dale Jr's car number next season," said Marshall Carlson, general manager of Hendrick Motorsports.

'Cream Puff' prediction
Easy early schedule could put KU in postseason
BY THOR NYSTROM
tnystrom@kansan.com
The lajahawks football team has never finished in the top half of the Big 12 North. The national media's picks are in, and a consensus has emerged: KU fans will probably have to wait another year.
Every outlet surveyed for this story predicted the Jayhawks to finish either fourth or fifth in the North.
"Kansas will be competitive enough to beat just about anyone but inconsistent enough to lose to anyone, too." Athlon wrote.
Since the Big 12 Conference's inception in 1996, the Jayhawks' highest finish in the six team north division was fourth, in 1999, when the team went 3-5 in conference play.
Chris Stassen, who compiles the accuracy of preseason predictions after each season, considers Phil Steele's College Football Preview magazine the most accurate preseason magazine of the last eight years. Steele predicted a fifth place finish for KU this year.
"KU should jump off to a 5-1 start this year and achieve bowl eligibility for a third straight year, but finish in the lower half of the Big 12 North standings." Stwele wrote.
The quick start would come courtesy of soft non-conference match-ups. The media has noticed Kansas's conservative preseason schedule. ESPN.com's Mark Schlabb called
Kansas' schedule the easiest in the country.
"The Jayhawks' non-conference schedule includes more cream puffs than your favorite bakery! Central Michigan, Division I-AA Southeastern Louisiana, Toledo and Florida International," Schlabch wrote.
Kansas finished 6-6 last year.
Steele wrote that Kansas "could have easily been an 11-2 team last season," in response to the team's new
infamous string of second-half collapses: overtime losses at Toledo and Nebraska, an 21-18 loss against Texas A&M, in which Kansas blew an 18-7 fourth-quarter lead, a 36-35 loss to Baylor, after Kansas
held in San Antonio's Alamodome this year. The Big 12 media collectively took the role of contrarian, choosing Missouri to represent the North against Texas in the conference title game.
"Considering the easy non-conference schedule, and neither Texas or Oklahoma on the Big 12 slate, the Jayhawks should land a bowl bid."
Despite these predictions, the media does believe the Jayhawks will be able to handle the weak non-conference schedule, with an improved defense, and earn postseason eligibility. Kansas last played in a bowl game
held a 35-17 halftime advantage, and the 42-23 nightmare against Oklahoma State, when KU allowed 22 second-half points, including 300 receiving yards and four touchdowns to Cowboys receiver Adarius Bowman.

following the 2005 season, when it defeated Houston 42-13 in the Fort Worth Bowl.
"This is an important season for the Jayhawks to establish their place in the postseason." Lind's
wrote. "Considering the easy non- conference schedule, and no Texas or Oklahoma on the Big 12 slate, the lashawks should land a bowl bid."
The expectations within the KU Athletics Department remain considerably higher than the projections of the press.
Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins told media outlets this summer that he expected the football team to win between seven and nine games this season.

Junior cornerback Agib Talib speaks loudly with his game and with his comments. Talib led the team with six interceptions last season and was named a second-team All-American. This season, he's aliming for a double-digit interception total.
TALIB (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
A LEADER
Mid-August Kansas heat can be oppressive enough to muffle almost any sound. Songbirds retire to nests and noisy kids head indoors. But the August sun stands no chance against Talib. Bounding along the sideline to offer encouragement and advice to less experienced Jayhawks, Talib sounds like a coach in shoulder pads.
Talibs leadership could be important for a Kansas secondary short on Division I experience. The other cornerback spot is up in the air because of an undisclosed injury to junior Kendrick Harper. The safeties are sophomore Darrell Stuckey, who has only four starts under his belt, and junior Tang Bacheye, recently converted from running back.
"P-A-T! You've got to come up big!" Talib shouts at Resby during a two-minute drill. "You've got to play!"
Kansas may have a few question marks on defense, but Talib is not one of them. Having a surefire NFL prospect shutting down one side of the field is the first step toward improving a pass defense that finished 2006 ranked last in the nation in yards allowed per game.
The next step is letting Talib's wisdom and advice soak in among his teammates in the defensive backfield. If his teammates' words are any indication, they are learning a lot.
"Aqib and leadership go hand in hand," Stuckey said. "Sometimes he'll be yelling, but you know he'd never tell you to do something he couldn't do himself. His actions speak louder than his words."

Difficult schedule may slow young Wildcat team

Kansas State sophomore quarterback Josh Freeman is expected to surpass the results of an inconsistent freshman season. Freeman threw six touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 2006.
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Orlin Wagner/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Head Coach Ron Prince's tenure at Kansas State was a successful two-point conversion away from a disastrous start last season.
K-State slipped past Division I-AA Illinois State in their 2006 opener by a score of 24-23. Two months and one public endorsement from Bill Snyder later, Prince engineered one of the biggest wins in Wildcat history, a 45-42 victory over fourth-ranked Texas.
Prince's expectations will rise significantly in 2007 with a Big 12 leading 15 returning starters.
OFFENSE:
Freshmen infiltrated the starting backfield last season. Prince's own recruits, quarterback Josh Freeman and running back Leon Patton, received limited playing time early but were starters by the end of the season. Freeman's performances were erratic, ranging from 5-for-19 with two interceptions against Missouri to 19-for-31 with four touchdowns against Texas. Freeman is one of the most talented signal-callers in the Big 12 and should become more consis-

ent this year. Consistency was not a problem for Patton in his freshman campaign. He averaged 5.6 yards per carry. Two of Freeman's favorite targets return in senior wide receiver Jordy Nelson and senior tight end Rashaad Norwood. Nelson was Kansas State's leading receiver last season and is known for his lethal speed. There are no standouts among the offensive line but together they make a solid unit. The Wildcats also added three junior college transfers to strengthen the depth along the line.
DEFENSE:
The Wildcats, who had the seventh-ranked defense in the
Big 12 last season, lost their two leading tacklers. But they do return two of their biggest playmakers on the defensive side of the ball. Senior free safety Marcus Watts led the Wildcats with three
interceptions last year, and Junior defensive end Ian Campbell led the Wildcats with 11.5 sacks. Campbell will draw more attention and double teams this season.

which should enable senior defensive end Rob Jackson to get to the quarterback more easily. The strength of the Wildcats' defense is without question the defensive backs. Senior cornerback Justin McKinney and sophomore cornerback Joshua Moore each started last year and join Watts to make a talented group. The linebackers are inexperienced but the Wildcats hope depth and competition for starting spots will give way to success in 2007.

Lisa Morrisey, Ottawa senior, will lead the women's cross country team this season, along with seniors Alicia McGregor and Haylee Harbert. The team also run nine sophomores.
Seniors lead way as season begins
BY TYLER PASSMORE
tpassmore@kansan.com
As Sept. 1 and the season opener approach, the women's cross country team is hard at work. Because the team returns three seniors, expectations are as high as the Lawrence summer's heat. Lisa Morrisey, Alicia McGregor and Hayley Harbert return for their senior campaign with hopes of a quick start and a sprint for the Big 12 title.
"We have three really good seniors," sophomore Lauren Bonds said. "Alicia is really good at keeping an optimistic attitude, and she really works hard. Lisa is definitely a competitor, and she always shows up to run. And Hayley is a real hard worker, and she is someone I can always go to for
advice."
While the seniors will be asked to lead the pack, the entire unit will need to push the pace. Returning only a single junior, the team will rely on the core of nine sophomores to give depth to this year's assault on the Big 12.
After having success as a freshman, Bonds is looking to take the next step.
"Lauren scored really high at outdoor," McGregor said. "She has really improved a lot and I know that she is going to do really well this year."
The trio of seniors and the young guns will take aim Sept. 1 at their first meet. It begins at 9 a.m. at Rim Rock Farm, located north of Lawrence on Highway 40.

WHEELER (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Mike McCormack, an offensive tackle drafted by the New York Yanks in 1951, earned Pro Bowl honors his rookie season. After his first season, he spent the next couple of years serving in the Army. Though his career was interrupted, he returned to play for the Cleveland Browns for eight more seasons, earning Pro Bowl honors in five of them.
Not even KU's rival Missouri, which has two players in the Hall of Fame, or Kansas State, with none, can claim individual excellence for its program's football legacy.
Kansas' slogan for the upcoming football season is, "This is What Saturdays Were Made For." It's apparent that some true legends played Kansas football on Saturdays in the past.
Maybe this news will help recruiting, and a few other future greats will begin their legacy at Kansas.

But right now the focus is on the process of molding together a team that consists of nine returning letter-winners and six newcomers. That process began on Aug. 7 when the team reported to campus.
VOLLEYBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"We don't totally dominate their lives with volleyball but pretty close to it." Bechard said, referring to the one week of practice prior to school starting. "We get a chance to talk about things in relationship to our goals. We have new players that we get to acclimate to our system, and everyone gets to devote their mind-set to volleyball."
Four starters return this season including senior right side/setter Emily Brown. The Baldwin City native has started every match in her career and is one of the few remaining players still around from her

programs's three-year NCAA tournament run.
The team will also receive a huge boost from the return of senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart, Uhart, originally from Lansing, Mich., transferred from Long Beach State after her junior season and was named Big 12 Conference Preseason Newcomer of the Year. But Uhart suffered a season-ending knee injury while playing in the team's preseason alumni game.
"She's very versatile," Bechard said. "She's very physical. She's one of our better blockers, one of our better attackers, and just one of our better teammates. She'll create a confidence
level for everyone she plays around"
Although starters Savannah Noyes, Katie Martinicinch and Brittany Williams are returning, there will soon be opportunity for one of the seven newcomers to step in and contribute.
"We're going to need some of these kids to play right away," Bechard said. "It's trial by fire, because you can't trade the experience of stepping in versus a Big 12 team, but were confident they'll pick it up."
The first opportunity for the team to start building toward a successful 2007 will come on Aug. 24 when Kansas travels to Eugene, Ore. to compete in the Oregon Invitational against California State Bakersfield, Idaho State and Oregon.

ATHLETICS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"In my view, that is guilty before proven innocent," Marchiony said. "That is insinuating athletics departments are taking kickbacks."
University Financial Services, a student loan provider, and the office of Attorney General Cuomo did not return phone calls from the University Daily Kansan seeking comment.
The investigation began after the Attorney General's office uncovered that Dowling College received $75 for every loan application that was directed to USF from the school's athletic department.
The Attorney General also seeks to determine whether the departments are using school team names, mascots, colors and logos to imply that UFS is the school's official lender. Dowling had agreed to put links to UFS on its athletics department's Web site and distribute UFS promotional materials to direct students towards UFS loans.
"While this process unfolds, we want to make sure that everyone understands that we want to cooperate fully with the New York Attorney General," Marchiony said. "We thought that if this will help that process, then we were willing to do that. We know that we have

done absolutely nothing wrong, but we just want to show the Attorney General that we want to cooperate as much as we can and then, after this issue is settled, we can talk about putting it back on the Web site."
Marchiony said the University had no direct relationship with UFS. The school's multi-media rights, which include corporate sponsorships, are owned by Host Communications. This permits Host to sell sponsorships of Kansas Athletics. Kansas must approve these sponsorships, but the contract is between the company and Host.

dents to get loans directly from the federal government.
The subpoenas and information requests ask the University to disclose documents relating to agreements made between the department and UFS and documents that reflect why UFS was chosen as the department's recommended lender.
The Attorney General's office wants the departments to prove a recommendation of UFS was not

Athletics," Marchiony said. "That is very clear in the contract. It also specifies that UFS says that it is not a part of Kansas Athletics. Kansas Athletics does not receive or ask for money from UFS based on how many students apply for loans at UFS."
Marchiony said the University participated in the federal directlending program, which allows stu-
in exchange for payment from the business, but rather the culmination of an evaluation of UFS interest rates. A payment arrangement would constitute revenue sharing, which is a violation of federal law.
"Kansas Athletics has never asked for or received one penny from any financial institution service company based on the number of loan applications that are processed through that company," Marchiony said. "We don't give names to companies, to any companies, of current or past student athletes for any reason."

Quarterback to make first appearance in Kansas City with Miami Dolphins
Former Chief returns to Arrowhead
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Will they cheer their team's all-time top-rated passer? Or will they boo a guy who complained he wasn't getting a fair chance to keep his job and then wrenched a dawn-out trade to Miami?
Trent Green says he doesn't know. But Kansas City coach Herm Edwards believes he knows how Chiefs fans will greet their old quarterback Thursday night, when he returns to Arrowhead Stadium in a Dolphins uniform.
"He will get a good ovation when he comes home, and he should because he has done a lot for the city of Kansas City," said Edwards. "He's been a pro, he's in the community. As a player, it will be good to see him. I haven't seen him in a while."
Ironically, the Dolphins and Chiefs will both be trying to sort out quarterback issues in their second preseason game.
Green, who did not play well in Saturday's 18-17 victory over Jacksonville, will start and play the first quarter, the Dolphins said. Cleo Lemon, who is battling Green to be the starter, will play the second quarter, Rookie John Beck and backup Gibran Hamdan will play the second half.
Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard, who both had games to forget in last week's 16-12 loss to Cleveland, will alternate for the Chiefs. Huard, 5-3 as a starter last year while Green recovered from a severe concussion,
will start the first half. Croyle, a second-year pro with a rifle arm, will go the second half.
Green is taking a philosophical approach toward his return.
"I'm just going to let it happen, and
that has just meant more practice time for backup Michael Bennett and rookie Kolby Smith, who has been unusually impressive for a fifth-round draft pick.
While no one doubts that Johnson will eventually sign and step back into his role as the No. 1 running back, mystery over the starting quar-
we'll see. I had a great six years there and enjoyed it," he said. "My family enjoyed it. It was a great experience for us as a family, and I'm just happy to be down here.
"He will get a good ovation when he comes home, and he should because he has done a lot for the city of Kansas City."

Edwards has said the would like to be near a decision by the third preseason game. That would suggest this could be an important outing for Huard, 34, and Crowley, 24.
make a decision, and if it's this week,
it's this week. If it isn't, it not,"
Edwards said. "It's going to be one of
those situations where whoever you
decide to go with, you've giving them
the opportunity to be the starter and
you're giving them enough reps to
prove that he can be a starter."
Still, Edwards agreed that any coach would feel much better having

"I think we're starting to settle down now," said Green. "If you look at who they had in the game and we we've been practicing with this week, it seems like some of those spots are beginning to solidify. I think that's only going to help, because you start getting continuity among players, continuity in the huddle and your communication in the line as the play's going on in terms of the calls they make. I think those are all positives, and as camp progresses, that will continually get better."
Carey, the Dolphins' starting left tackle, injured his right knee in the first quarter. He was able to walk off the field unaided.

ballas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will take on the Denver Broncos in a preseason game Saturday. Romo could have signed with the Broncos as a rookie, but turned them down.
Tony Romo happy to play for Cowboys
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas — Long before Tony Romo was a Pro Bowl quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, he was a rookie free agent who turned down twice as much money to sign with Denver.
Not even Broncos coach and fellow Eastern Illinois product Mike Shanahan could persuade Romo to go to Denver instead of Dallas in 2003.
"I tried to sign him very hard. I really liked him coming out of school," Shanahan said Wednesday. "We offered him $20,000 and (the Cowboys) offered him $10,000. To show you my recruiting ability (they) beat me. ... That really disappointed me at that time."
"He said, 'Coach, I thought I had a much better chance to make the team here than at your place,' Shanahan said.
Shanahan finally had the chance "not too long ago" to ask Romo why he went to Dallas.
At the time Shanahan was trying to get Romo, the Broncos had just
signed free agent Jake Plummer to a $40 million, seven-year deal and had Danny Kanell and Steve Beuerlein as the backup quarterbacks. The Cowboys had Quincy Carter and Chad Hutchinson.
Had Shanahan been able to persuade him four years ago, Romo might be starting for Denver now.
"It's never been about money," Romo said. "It's just about playing the game and having fun doing it. This was just a good situation. Denver was, too. It really came down to Denver and Dallas. I think I made the right choice for right now."
After two practices Wednesday in the sweltering heat, Denver and Dallas will work together in two more sessions Thursday. They then play a preseason game Saturday night at Texas Stadium.
>> NFL
"I try not to look back and say coulda, shoulda and woulda," Romo said. "There are times I thought in the four years before I started playing that if I had gone somewhere else, I maybe could have been on the field sooner. I think everything happens for a reason."
Hunt family increases its contribution to Arrowhead Stadium's $375 million face-lift
BY DOUG TUCKFR ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSASCITY.Mo. — Arrowhead Stadium, with the family of the late Lamar Hunt kicking in an extra $50 million, is going to get a $375 million facelift.
Altogether, the 35-year-old home of the Kansas City Chiefs will expand by approximately 500,000 square feet. There will
be a roughly 50 percent increase in concessions and an 80 percent increase in bathroom facilities. Concourse width will double. There will be a Chiefs Hall of Fame open 365 days a year and an innovative "horizon level" where fans can watch the game in an outdoor setting from up high.
"Arrowhead as a facility has been the blueprint for NFL stadiums since it opened," Dennis Wellner, a founding senior principal at HOK Sports said Wednesday at a news conference.
"The question is, how do you improve it? I believe you respect the icon, which is Arrowhead, and you look to the future. Goals for the project are to increase provisions for fans at all levels of the building and match what's been provided in the newest stadiums in the NFL at a cost of half what a new facility
Construction will take about three years and include a new training facility with a 100-yard indoor field and a separate building to house coaches and front office executives.
would cost."
Voters in Jackson County, many fearful of losing the Royals and Chiefs, passed a three-eighths of a cent sales tax 15 months ago to fund the ambitions renovation at Arrowhead and its sister facility at
the Truman Sports Complex, baseball's Kauffman Stadium.
As part of the deal, the David Glass family, owners of the Kansas City Royals, agreed to contribute $25 million toward improvements at Kauffman. The Hunt family, sole owners of the Chiefs, originally committed $75 million of their own funds. But on Wednesday, Clark Hunt, chairman of the board of the Chiefs and son of the team's late
founder, announced the family was putting in an additional $50 million, for a total contribution of $125 million.
Hunt said the family made the decision to increase the commitment about two months ago.
"We just decided it was in the best long-range interest of the Chiefs and the Jackson County taxpayers to make the commitment," said Hunt, 42.

Murder of Miami lineman still unsolved
PATA
95
Luis M. Alvarez/ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO
Bryan Pata's family holds up his jersey at the beginning of a college football game between Miami and Boston College Nov. 23, 2006, at the Orange Bowl in Miami. Pata was shot and killed outside his apartment complex on Nov. 7, 2006. Pata's team and family have become frustrated that the circumstances surrounding his death remain a mystery.
Family and town hope for solution
BY TIM REYNOLDS ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The reality never changes. Edwin Pata arises each morning thinking it was all a nightmare, that someone really didn't hold a gun close to his brother's head and pull the trigger before
leaving him to die in a parking lot.
Every morning, same pain.
Every morning, same hope.
It's been nine months since Miami defensive lineman Bryan Pata was killed outside his apartment complex last Nov. 7, a couple hours after he left practice and a
EDWIN PATA Bryan Pata's father
"I'm confident. I really am. We're going to find out what happened one day."
quick dinner with teammates. Nine months of frustration and anger, nine months of grief, nine months without answers. For those who cared about Pata most, time hasn't made it easier to handle.
"There's a person out there enjoying life, living life," Edwin Pata says, the volume of his words quickly rising from conversational levels to almost a shout. "And that person, he, she, whowhomever, isn't going through half of what my family is going through. They don't know what we're going through. But we keep hoping."
Pata was a senior last season, meaning he wouldn't have been around the Hurricanes these days anyway. He'd have surely been
selected in the NFL draft and vying for pro playing time. But he's still part of the Hurricanes in many ways; his locker remains empty, except for a simple memorial plaque, and his No. 95 jersey is unassigned.
Gooden is one of those toughs-nails guys, a sleek, muscular man who loves to hit and doesn't necessarily like showing his soft side.
Get him talking about Pata, though, and his voice doesn't rise above a whisper.
They were very close. When Gooden needed advice on clothes, he turned to Pata. When he needed his car fixed, he asked Pata where to go. When it was time to talk about the dream of playing in the NFL and the riches that might come with it, Gooden always found his way
toward Pata.
"I want him back. Everybody wants him back," Gooden said. "How and why would someone do this to him? He was his family's golden child. He was going to be the one to help out his family, make sure they make it. I want to know some answers. Everyone wants to know some answers."
Those answers might be coming.
Pata would have turned 23 on Aug. 12, so in his memory, his family threw a birthday party in a park. Hundreds of kids turned out for food, music and school supplies — courtesy of a memorial fund set up in the player's honor by his family, who turned their surname into an acronym for the slogan "Promoting Academics and Athletics To All."
A representative from the State Attorney's Office was there, telling those in attendance they believe the case will be one day solved. City and county officials also showed up, some of them just saying they wanted to meet the Pata family and thank them.
"We're doing this in remembrance of him," Miami-Dade County Commissioner Dorrin Rolle said. "What happened has happened. It's terrible. But it's monumental for the family to take his memory, give back to the community and keep his legacy going. Now that's unbelievable."
At least a dozen police officers showed up as well, including two homicide detectives who pulled Edwin Pata aside and offered him some encouragement.
Publicly, all police officials will say is that the investigation is continuing. In private moments with the family, officers vow that arrests will happen.
"They think they're close," Edwin Pata said. "I've gotten some good news. I'm confident. I really am. We're going to find out what happened one day."
For everyone who knew Pata — his friends, family and teammates that can't come fast enough.
Not a day passes where Gooden doesn't think about Pata, and he's certainly not alone in that regard. And Gooden confesses that some things Pata used to always say about the importance of winning and football didn't necessarily mean much to him before Nov. 7.
Now? They're Gooden's driving force.
"He had a passion to win and now I have that passion," Gooden said. "I want to fulfill his dreams, for him and his family. Bryan wanted that championship. That's all he talked about. I've got one more year to get that done and if we get that, that's going to be in tribute to him."

FOOTBALL
Bank of America signs with NFL
BY IEVA M. AUGSTUMS ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — First came the Olympics. Next it was baseball, then NASCAR. Now, with hopes of tackling more than 120 million football fans, Bank of America Corp. has signed on to become the "official" bank of the National Football League.
The three-year deal further expands the burgeoning sports marketing portfolio at the nation's second largest bank, which is also expanding its line of affinity products — such as debit cards featuring a team logo — to include the NFL.
"In the financial services category, there is so much competition," said Rob Vogel, president and chief operating officer at The Bonham Group, a Denver-based sports marketing firm. "The NFL is the No.1 sport in the U.S. With it you have a tremendous platform to establish yourself against your competitors."
The deal makes Charlotte-based Bank of America the NFL's exclusive sponsor for banking and financial services, including checking and savings accounts, credit, debit and ATM cards, and wire and currency transfer and exchange services. The company gets the right to use the NFL shield logo and other NFL-licensed trademarks, such as the Super Bowl, in marketing and advertising promotions.
The bank will also have the rights to advertise during NFL games and on NFL-controlled media assets,
such as NFL Network and NFL com.
Bank of America's sponsorship of the U.S. Olympic Committee dates to the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona. It signed on as the "official bank of baseball" in 2004, signing a five-year deal with Major League Baseball and inking sponsorships that extend down to the Little League level. In November, it "officially" added NASCAR, a sport widely viewed as the nation's fastest-growing.
"With its trusted reputation and national reach, Bank of America is an ideal partner for the NFL," said Lisa Baird, the NFL's senior vice president of marketing and consumer products. "We're pleased Bank of America will play such a visible role in our sport."
To kick off its sponsorship, Bank of America on Thursday will unveil NFL checking, a slice of the bank's affinity banking products that will include logos on checks and check cards, and even special interest rates on CDs and other investment accounts.
Currently, customers can get team-specific check cards and checks for the Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots and Washington Redskins. In November, products with the NFL logo will become available.
In 1995, MBNA became the official credit card of the NFL, and the bank already offers credit cards featuring the logos of all 32 NFL teams.
Order of deaths to determine who gets Benoit's money
WRESTLING
WWE MEN'S HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP
CHRIS Benoit killed both his wife and son before committing suicide the weekend of June 22.
Officials are working to determine whether the wife or the boy died first. The order of deaths will determine who inherits the wrestler's fortune.
ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO
BY HARRY R. WEBER ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — The future of pro wrestler Chris Benoit's millions could come down to the timing of a horrible crime: Did Benoit — having taken high doses of steroids — strangle his wife and then their young son before killing himself, or did the boy die first?
Lawyers for Benoit's mother-in-law, Maureen Toffoloni, filed a petition last week asking a court to determine the order of the deaths, which could affect whether she gets any of the estate.
Neither Benoit nor his wife left a will, so the death order could mean the difference in whether Toffoloni or Benoit's children from a previous marriage inherit the two homes, several bank and investment accounts and other assets estimated to be worth millions. Lawyers in the case declined Wednesday to provide an exact value.
Investigators have repeatedly said that Benoit killed his wife, then their son and himself during the weekend of June 22.
District Attorney Scott Ballard has said the wrestler used a cord to strangle his wife, then killed his son with a choke hold, then placed Bibles next to the bodies and hanged himself on a piece of exercise equipment.
Under that scenario, the estate would pass to Benoit's surviving two children, who live in Canada with their mother, said Cary Ickter, an attorney for Benoit's father. Michael.
But if the boy was killed first and then the wife, under Georgia law at least some of the estate would pass to
Toffoloni, lawyers in the case said.
That's because of a forfeiture statute that takes into account the fact that Benoit was the killer. As such, the law for purposes of estate distribution would consider Benoit to have died before his wife and son.
Ichter said that if the boy was killed first, the estate would pass to the wife and, since she was killed, it would then pass to her family. But he noted that police don't believe that is how it happened.
Richard Decker, an attorney for Toffoloni, of Daytona Beach, Fla., said he doesn't believe the order of deaths is clear. He said he is asking the Fayette County court to make a determination based on the law "and not what we hear on TV."
Investigators have not given a motive for the killings, but the question of whether steroids played a role has lingered. Anabolic steroids were found in Benoit's home, and tests showed Benoit had roughly 10 times the normal level of testosterone in his system when he died.
Besides the Fayetteville home, estimated to be worth $1.5 million to $3.5 million, the Benoits had a home in nearby Peachtree City, which was for sale for $400,000 at the time of the killings, according to Decker. The house was not sold and has since been taken off the market, he said.
A probate court hearing over the appointment of estate administrators is scheduled for Aug. 28. Ichter said.
Ballard did not return a call Wednesday seeking comment. A spokesman for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation declined to comment.

Before I go, I have been given the chance to serve as editor of Jayplay, the only magazine I have read religiously since my freshman year.
I love this university for a lot of reasons: KU basketball, the view from the hill behind Blake Hall and the colors of campus as fall creeps into the trees.
Read what excites your fellow students about coming back to school on pg.8, and then ask yourself what Kansas has done or could do to educate you—that is, outside of that whole academics thing.

MASCOTS ON PARADE
Meet a few of KU’s other fictional figures by Doni Hurst
I am a llama (and no, my mama is not). The story behind my scholarship hall’s unique mascot is an interesting one that dates back to the early 1970s. According to legend, a South American student who lived in Watkins Scholarship Hall wanted to go home for Christmas break, but was unable to afford the plane ticket. The other girls in the hall heard of her plight and took up a collection to buy her a ticket home. When the girl returned to Watkins, she brought back two stuffed llamas for the house as a symbol of her gratitude. The llama has been our house’s mascot ever since, serving as a reminder to everyone of what the women of our hall do for each other.
As KU students, we all recognize the Jayhawk, but there are so many other mascots around campus with interesting stories of their own. Here are just a few.
HASHINGER FLAMINGO
History:
According to Diana Hall, 2007 graduate, and former president of the Hashinger Arts Council, the Hashinger Flamingo dates back to the 1970s. At that time, Hall says, the residents were having problems with their hall directors, who lived off campus, and decided to steal a flamingo from one of the directors’ yard. The flamingo ended up on the roof of Hashinger, and stayed there for at least a year, says Hall.
Symbol—showing the close bonds the residents share with one another.
“Flamingoes are always together, Hashies are always together,” Hall says.
Today: Nowadays, the flamingo has expanded its domain to more than just inter-Hashinger events. There are two Ultimate Frisbee intramural teams with the flamingo namesake: the Stinkie Pinkies (co-rec) and the Funky Flamingoes (men).
Hall says that flamingoes are a good representative of Hashinger because they, like the residents of Hashinger, are kind of odd, quirky and dwell together in flocks. Hall equates the flamingo to a Hashinger love.
BETTIES’ WOMEN’S ULTIMATE FRISBEE TEAM
History: Meghan
Herndon, 2007 graduate, and former co-captain of the women’s ultimate Frisbee team at Kansas, says that the Betties first made their appearance on campus in 1987. Calling someone a “Betty” back in those days, says Herndon, was a huge compliment.
“They were the cool people on campus,” Herndon says.
Today: Even though the team is from Kansas, it has kept the Betty as its mascot instead of opting for the Jayhawk.
Herndon says this is most likely because although the team is allotted some money from the university, the members are very independent in raising the necessary funds.
Besides that, Herndon says that it’s all about tradition. The first year the Betties competed, they made it to Nationals. Keeping the mascot the same is a way to pay homage to past teams as well as to the memory of the original Betties. Herndon also points out that the team is established as the Betties, not as the Jayhawks, so there would be no point in changing the mascot now.
Although there isn’t a specific physical appearance for the mascot, in past years the members have made skirts with Betty Boop on them, and recently started selling frisbees depicting a rather attractive woman wearing nothing but a bandana and
DELTA FORCE DOG
History: Raymond “Studie” Red Corn, Shawnee, senior, and former Delta Force president, says he can safely say that the DF Dog has been around for at least four years. Red Corn says that someone just had a stuffed dog toy and decided to make it Delta Force’s mascot.
Today: The significance of the DF Dog is still developing, but Red Corn says its main role is to honor members of Delta Force who have done something noteworthy. Whenever a member pulls off a big project or event that is Delta Force-related, Red Corn says, the DF Dog is handed over to the member of honor. More recently, the DF Dog was the face of Delta Force’s Web site last year, says Red Corn, and even has its own Facebook profile, complete with a photo album of people kissing it.
Red Corn says that the DF Dog is also important because it shows the fun side of Delta Force.
“It was an internal entity that has taken on an external role,” Red Corn says.

Pesky pimples
What causes acne and how you can treat it by Nicole Korman
Since the sixth grade, I have rolled out of bed thinking the same thing; today is the day I am going to look in the mirror and it will all be gone. The inflamed mountains bursting with white blood cells will have receded into my face. But every day I see the same thing. As one zit begins to disappear, another one pops up to replace it.
Statistics from curesearch.com estimates that 17 million Americans ages 12 to 24 will experience acne at some point in their life. For some, the days of experiencing acne ended in middle school while others will continue fighting acne late in life. This fact makes acne the most common type of skin disease.
For men and women, acne carries a social stigma similar to obesity. It can make you feel uncomfortable and impede your self-esteem.
Jessica Wicks, Bakersfield, Calif,
senior, remembers when she was
13 and got her first zit. It made
her face红 as it stood out on her
fair skin. At first she thought it was
cool because she was becoming
a teenager, but that image slowly
faded as one zit grew into many.
"I felt like I could never be the
perfect girl in school. I always felt
ugly and sometimes I would avoid
the people whose opinion I cared
about," she says.
THE CAUSE
My dermatologist kept telling me that I would grow out of my acne after I was done with puberty and that my acne was just a phase
that takes time to clear up. But after puberty ended, my acne did not. I am now a college student that still deals with pimples. Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd, professor at Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, says that acne is a skin disease with no exact known cause or cure, and it's unknown why some people have it worse than others. It does not matter the color or type of skin you have; anyone can get it at any time. For women, increased hormones around the menstrual cycle can cause acne to flare up. As for men, their acne tends to calm down as their hormones settle down. Overall, acne stems from genetics and hormones. Look at your parents, aunts and uncles; if they had acne, you will most likely have it, too. Wicks said that her dad suffered from it as he grew up, and even as an adult had some breakouts.
Acne is a condition of the sebaceous gland. Androgens, the male sex hormone that is produced when both men and women go through puberty, causes extra oil to form, making the gland sticky. However, other hormonal changes like changing birth control and things like stress, pressure around your hairline from wearing hats and washing your face too much can cause acne to form.
Bacteria feed on the extra oil underneath the skin waiting to make its appearance on the surface. Oil, bacteria and dead skin cells that should normally drain to the surface clog hair follicles, causing bacteria and pressure to form beneath the skin. As the bacteria continue to multiply, the
pressure inside increases.The body sends white blood cells to fight off the bacteria, causing redness and white pus to form.In the end, a distinguished red inflamed zit forms.
Unfortunately, we are partly to blame for acne in these areas. Fields says that when students study, they have a habit of picking at their head or back. And the more you prod at the affected areas, the bigger the acne gets.
Bottom line: touching your face, back, chest or scalp can aggravate acne and make it worse. And if you want to pick, Fields says it is okay to pop a pimple as long as it is a white head.
TREATMENTS
with moderate to mild acne, but mine was severe.
I have taken almost every oral medication, used numerous topical creams and countless over-the-counter products. I have taken tetracycline, erythromycin and any other word ending in "cline" or "cin." I have used Differin gel, Tazorac and BenzaClin. I have even tried Proactiv. The process was the same every time: extreme dry skin, clear skin for a week then back to more acne. Most of these medications will work for people
Zits can form anywhere on the body where there are sebaceous glands that produce oil, and are given various titles;bache,chestne,buttne and scalpne. Kathy Fields,M.D., dermatologist and co-creator of Proactiv, says that hair shares the same follicle as the sebaceous gland, causing the areas with hair to break out more.
Treating acne can be expensive, but the outcome is worth the money. Fields says that studies have shown that people with acne go on fewer dates because they become a victim of their skin. But with the advancements that dermatologists have made, preventing acne can be as easy as long as you stick to a routine.
Acnemagazine.com says that at one point, sun lamps were the only option for treating acne. People would sit under a lamp that emitted UVA and UVB rays for ten to thirty minutes. Fields says that small amounts of sun can help acne, but over time rays from the sun can increase the clogging of pores. Today, the sun lamps are rare. Instead, there are over-thecounter products that can prevent zits. Any product that contains 2.5 percent Benzoyl peroxide works the best when paired with an oil-free acne wash that contains salicylic acid.
For more severe acne, Fields says that taking antibiotics can help with inflammation but for the most part, antibiotics will not stop acne. She says over-the-counter products work just as well and if needed, a dermatologist can prescribe a topical gel that contains higher amounts of Benzoyl peroxide.
But be careful. Wicks says she has tried a variety of medications but had to quit the majority because of allergic reactions. She says that some of the antibiotics caused stomach pain and the prescriptions she could take didn't work.
David Burchfield, Shawnee junior, had a similar experience while taking tetracycline. Although it cleared up his acne, he developed stomach ulcers from taking the medication.
He says he started getting acne when he was 12 and it never bothered him unless he had a crush on a girl. Then, sophomore year of high school he began taking tetracycline. "It worked pretty well until I had an upset stomach all the time and an acidic taste in my mouth," he says.
He believes the reason he had a reaction was because the medicine had stringent guidelines on when to take it, like with a meal, and he didn't always follow them.
For fast relief, Fields suggests using toothpaste, Preparation H or cortisone to shrink the inflammation and help with the redness. Ice and aspirin can also help with the swelling.
As a last resort I turned to Accutane. A drug that contains high levels of vitamin A. For four-months, the recommend amount of time to take Accutane, I suffered through dry crusty skin that coiled and flaked off my face. I had bloody noses that would last for about
My face is lined with little red zits around the perimeter of my face. Each one is raised and
DAY 1
For 10 days I used only the three products that Dan Kern suggests: Purpose daily face wash, Neutrogena on the spot acne treatment and Cetaphal daily face moisturizer. What I found out is that for the money I have spent on prescriptions, using over-the-counter products cleared my skin without excessive drying or peeling. Although, no matter what I do I still experience the occasional pimple.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH DAN KERN'S REGIMEN
I wake up this morning with a second chin starring back to me. The red mound protruded from my face. So, as usual I went to the bathroom and washed my face. Then I proceeded to paste on the spot treatment and moisturize. I attempted to cover up my extra chin but was too tired to care. After serving greasy burritos the night before, my face felt like a Slip n' Slide. As I washed my face again, I could feel the oil sliding off of my face. Then I applied treatment for the second time, still hoping for it to get better.
agitated because I was picking at them when I woke up, I completed the three-step process of washing, treating my whole face and then moisturizing. The Neutrogena treatment feels thick, leaving my face stiff. As I was looking across campus on my walk home, I could not help but to stare at people's faces to see if they had acne, too. The majority of the faces I saw were clear. But, I know there are others out there like me, and throughout the entire day I kept looking in the mirror hoping to see a difference. But, I knew that in order for the zits to clear, it was going to take time.

I am surprised to see that in one day my second chin is slowly disappearing into the rest of my face. This is a good sign; my acne is clearing up faster than expected.
I have spruced a new sit along my jaw line. It is an underground one the hurts when touched. As I look in the mirror, all I can do is wonder if this is how it is going to be for the rest of my life, and I wonder why my skin isn't clear like everyone else's.

The side effects of Acutane extreme: it can cause serious birth defects, and in rare occasions, depression. Dr. Woolery-Lloyd says that there have been case reports about depression and suicide, but these side effects are not common. And if people experience mood swings, they are advised to stop taking the medication. She says at it cures the patient's acne 10 percent of the time and when does, it can be life changing, especially because it can preventaring, which is also a genetic side effect of acne.

just to feel clean. And Burchfield says that for the most part his acne has cleared up. He washes his face and uses Differin gel when he remembers to. He says that people shouldn't worry about zits so much, because if someone were going to judge you because of your skin, you wouldn't want them around you anyway.
I have stopped taking antibiotics and I only use over-the-counter products. From all of the products I have taken, topical gels and cremes work the best when used on a regular basis. I try not to touch my face or pick at my back and chest because when my face is clear, it is one less thing I have to worry about in the morning.
Dermatologists are still searching for the best treatment for acne. It is just a matter of finding the right product that works for you and using it daily within moderation because treating your acne too much can make it worse.
"Treating acne is like treating tooth decay; you brush your teeth every day so you have to treat acne every day," Fields says.
clear and not dry or flaky. Unlike the prescription topical gels I have taken, these have cleared my skin without causing my face to itch from excessive drying. Using these products is working and I suggest them if you have mild to moderate acne. If yours is severe, I would suggest trying something that contains higher amounts of Benzoyl peroxide. I have come to the conclusion that no matter how much I try, I will always get the occasional pimple, unless I were to change my genetic makeup.

MYTHS ABOUT ACNE
Acne is caused by poor hygiene.
False — it has nothing to do with hygiene because acne is not caused by dirt. Therefore, washing your face more than twice a day will not make it go away, but will only aggravate the acne more. Sweating also does not cause acne. It can agitate existing acne but it will not cause more. Sweat glands are separate from the sebaceous gland that causes acne.
Acne is caused by greasy foods and sweets.
False — according to research, there has been no link between the food you eat and acne. The only link that has been found is with dairy products. Taking in too much skim milk, yogurt or cheese has been found to cause acne.
Acne is caused by stress and lack of sleep.
True — lack of sleep can cause stress, which has an affect on hormone production, thus causing acne to form. But, stress is not a main cause of acne.
Smoking can cause acne.
False — but it is not good for your skin or any other organ in your body.
Acne is for teenagers.
False — you can have acne at any age. Women are more prone to having acne in later years because of fluctuating hormones.
Acne is caused by facial hair.
False — growing a beard will not cause acne, although shaving may irritate the skin.
Sun reduces acne.
False — small amounts of sun can help, but over time it can increase the clogging of pores.

SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING
sport specs
---
The sport: If swimming laps sound too tedious, or you think participating in water aerobics will qualify you for a senior citizen discount, synchronized swimming may be the water sport for you. Performing the water routines requires strength, flexibility and aerobic endurance says Victoria Downey, graduate student and coach of a Kansas City synchronized swimming team. It also can serve as an outlet for creativity.
THE HISTORY
The sport, which was originally known as water ballet, emerged first in Canada in the 1920s. In the next decade, synchronized swimming made its way to the United States and gained acclaim and popularity when Esther Williams—a movie star and a competitive swimmer—starred in a number of musical films that emphasized water performances. At the
Olympic Games from 1948 to 1968, synchronized swimming developed as an exhibition sport. And in 1984 it unveiled as a full medal sport available only for women.
THE RULES
Swimmers perform a technical and a free, more artistic routine, neither lasting for more than five minutes and during which touching the bottom or side of the pool is prohibited. You can swim it alone, with a partner, a trio, a team of eight or with the recent arrival of the combo event to the sport, up to 10 swimmers can execute one routine.
THE WORKOUT:
Downey says performing a routine in the water is truly a full-body workout. To keep the upper half of their bodies above water, synchronized swimmers employ the egg beater kick. This spiraling motion of arms and legs exercises quads and calves. Swimmers form a support skull, moving their arms in order to keep the lower half of their bodies above the water. This is a great workout for biceps and triceps, Downey says.

GRAD CHECK
Each year, students make the legendary walk through the Campanile, down The Hill and into the real world. We're here to check in on them.
102
William Adams
Year:1981
Degree: Biology and Atmospheric Sciences
Hometown: Liberty,
Mo
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Back in the day: After a visit to the University of Missouri campus failed to impress him, Adams decided to follow in the footsteps of his parents, who both graduated from the University of Kansas. His mother, a medical technician with a degree in bacteriology, stimulated Adams' interest in biology at a young age, he says. His strongest and most positive memories of the University are rooted in biology
classrooms, as he says he enjoyed the research and professors as well as the coursework. Adams spent his leisure time walking in the Breidenthal nature preserve, located just south of campus.
The grad life: Shortly after earning his first degree, Adams had his eye on a second. He earned a degree in atmospheric sciences in 1983 and was already on his way to a master's, which he earned in botany in 1984. Adams then began pursuing his Ph.D., as he came up with a list of possible individuals with whom he could work on his doctorate. He paired up with a professor at the Australian National University who also worked at a research center in Reno, Nev. Adams studied for a year and a
half in Reno, followed by a year and a half in Canberra, Australia. After his doctorate was under his belt he carried out two years of research in Germany before winding up at the University of Colorado in 1989.
Today Adams continues his work at the University of Colorado as a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. He spends his time researching and teaching,including one course in which students can genetically engineer plants.
He says: "Seek out direct interactionwithfacultymembers. That personal interaction is very important for inspiration."

Bank of America signs with NFL
BY IEVA M. AUGSTUMS ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — First came the Olympics. Next it was baseball, then NASCAR. Now, with hopes of tackling more than 120 million football fans, Bank of America Corp. has signed on to become the "official" bank of the National Football League.
The three-year deal further expands the burgeoning sports marketing portfolio at the nation's second largest bank, which is also expanding its line of affinity products — such as debit cards featuring a team logo — to include the NFL.
"In the financial services category, there is so much competition," said Rob Vogel, president and chief operating officer at The Bonham Group, a Denver-based sports marketing firm. "The NFL is the No. 1 sport in the U.S. Wit."

Bank of America's sponsorship of the U.S. Olympic Committee dates to the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona. It signed on as the "official bank of baseball" in 2004, signing a five-year deal with Major League Baseball and inking sponsorships that extend down to the Little League level. In November, it "officially" added NASCAR, a sport widely viewed as the nation's fastest-growing.
"With its trusted reputation and national reach, Bank of America is an ideal partner for the NFL," said Lisa Baird, the NFL's senior vice president of marketing and consumer products. "We're pleased Bank of America will play such a visible role in our sport."
To kick off its sponsorship, Bank of America on Thursday will unveil
Order of deaths to determine who gets Benoit's money
WWE WORLD HEAVY WEIGHT WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP
WRESTLING
BY HARRY R. WEBER ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — The future of pro wrestler Chris Benoit's millions could come down to the timing of a horrible crime: Did Benoit — having taken high doses of steroids — strangle his wife and then their young son before killing himself, or did the boy die first?
Lawyers for Benoit's mother-in-law, Maureen Toffoloni, filed a petition last week asking a court to determine the order of the deaths, which could affect whether she gets any of the estate.
Neither Benoit nor his wife left a will, so the death order could mean the difference in whether Toffoloni or Benoit's children from a previous marriage inherit the two homes, several bank and investment accounts and other assets estimated to be worth millions. Lawyers in the case declined Wednesday to provide an exact value.
Investigators have repeatedly said that Benoit killed his wife, then their
Toffoloni, lawyers in the case said.
That's because of a forfeiture statute that takes into account the fact that Benoit was the killer. As such, the law for purposes of estate distribution would consider Benoit to have died before his wife and son.
Ichter said that if the boy was killed first, the estate would pass to the wife and, since she was killed, it would then pass to her family. But he noted that police don't believe that is how it happened.
Richard Decker, an attorney for Toffoloni, of Daytona Beach, Fla., said he doesn't believe the order of deaths is clear. He said he is asking the Fayette County court to make a determination based on the law "and not what we hear on TV."
Investigators have not given a motive for the killings, but the question of whether steroids played a role has lingered. Anabolic steroids were found in Benoit's home, and tests showed Benoit had roughly 10 times the normal level of testosterone in his system when he died.

Teachers receive fellowship awards
Seven teachers were surprised with the W.T. Kemper Fellowships for Teaching Excellence during their first day of classes Thursday. A "surprise patrol" including Chancellor Robert Hemenway, Provost Richard Lariviere and Mark Heider, president of Commerce Bank in Lawrence, came into the teachers' classrooms and presented them with $5,000 checks.
The surprise patrol will continue giving
out the Kemper Fellowships today and next week, with a total of 20 teachers being recognized and $100,000 given out. Recipients were chosen for their outstanding teaching or advising by a seven-member committee of peers and alumni. This is the twelfth year that the awards have been given out.
The W.T. Kemper Foundation, which helps support Midwest communities, was founded after Kemper's death in 1989.

VH1 game show lands in Lawrence for trivia event
On Saturday, fans of the VH1 game show "World Series of Pop Culture" will have a chance to compete with their favorite cast members from the series' second season. Team Westerburg High, which is made up of Lawrence natives, organized the event at 4 p.m. at the Granada, 10th and Massachusetts streets.
Those who would like to try to be a part of Pop Culture Scramble are required to be at the Granada by 3 p.m., when a series of tests will be given to test pop culture trivia skills. Those with the highest scores will have their names thrown into a hat to be
selected at random.
Andy Morton, a member of the Westerbury High team, said the cast formed a strong bond during the VH1 show tapping last March and had been talking about a reunion of some sort ever since the show's filming wrapped up.
Morton said his experience on the show was great even though his team did not win the entire season. He also said the Granada event was unusual because it would give fans the chance to meet some of their favorite cast members and see if they have what it takes to play with or against them.

'Elusive gator'attempts return to wild from LA zoo
LOS ANGELES — You can't keep a good gator down.
An alligator that became a celebrity after eluding trappers for nearly two years at an urban lake managed to escape from his new home at the Los Angeles Zoo on Wednesday. It was nearly opening time before Reggie was caught.
Keepers discovered the $7 \frac{1}{2} $-foot gator was missing from his personal exhibit pond at about 7:30 a.m. and a search of every rock and bush proved he wasn't anywhere in the display.
The wily beast was finally found near a loading dock several hundred yards away shortly before the
zoo's 10 a.m. opening time, spokesman Jason Jacobs said. It's believed he had climbed a mesh-covered side wall of the exhibit.
"It proves to us that he's a very smart, healthy gut," Jacobs said.
Reggie was placed in quarantine while a mesh overhang was added to his exhibit to prevent another escape.
Reggie was spotted in Harbor City's Machado Lake in August 2005. Authorities say a man who illegally raised Reggie as a pet dumped the gator in the lake when it got too big.
BEIJING — A Chinese couple seeking a distinctive name for their child settled on the e-mail 'at' symbol--annoying government officials grappling with an influx of unorthodox names.
After several attempts, Reggie finally was captured in May. He was introduced to the public last Thursday, and fans have been eager to see him.

Written Chinese does not use an alphabet but is comprised of characters, sometimes making it difficult to develop words for new or foreign objects and ideas. As of last year, only 129 names accounted for 87 percent of all surnames in China, Li Yuming, vice director of the State Language Commission, said at a news conference.
The letters 'a' and 't' can be pronounced in a way that sounds like the phrase "love him" in Chinese.
The father said, "The whole world uses it to write e-mails and, translated into Chinese, it means 'love him,'" Li said.
Li did not say if police, who are the arbiters of names because they issue identity cards, rejected baby 'at.'

Woman finds medieval cross in crockery hunt
VIENNA, Austria — A medieval cross that was hidden from the Nazis and ended up in the trash could be worth more than a half-million dollars, police said Thursday.
A woman looking for old crockery in a trash container in the western Austrian town of Zell am See stumbled upon the piece in 2004, Salzburg police said Thursday, when they announced the find.
The woman, who has not been identified, apparently did not know what she had found and stashed the cross behind her couch. Last month, a neighbor with a keen eye had an inking the cross might be something special and took it to a local museum in the village of Leoang.
Experts said the cross could be worth more than $500,000 at auction. A local museum has custody of it for the moment, and it's unclear whether the trash-foraging woman will get so much as a penny for her find.
She discovered the cross while going through items discarded by the relatives of a local hotel owner who had died, the Austria Press Agency quoted police official Christian Krieg as saying. The London-based Commission for Looted Art in Europe is representing the heirs of the former owner of the cross.

Granada to hold trivia event
Cast of VH1's pop culture game show will compete with locals
BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com
Fans of the VH1 game show "World Series of Pop Culture" could get a chance to play alongside some of their favorite cast members this weekend.
Twenty-eight contestants from the popular show are coming to Lawrence on Saturday to compete in "Pop Culture Scramble," a trivia event similar to the television show but with a twist.
"No team members from the show will be together; they will all be mixed," said Andy Morton, a contestant on the show as a member of the Westerburg High team.
Morton and his Westerburg High teammates, who are from Lawrence, put together the one-time event with other cast members from this summer's second season. In addition to new teammates for the cast members, another twist will allow audience members to try out to join the trivia challenge.
"Twenty slots will go to audience members who will be chosen to play based on three qualifying tests they take before the event takes place,"
Morton said. "The tests are quickly graded and the top scorers go into a hat and are drawn at random."
Although Morton and his Westburg High teammates were not the champions of the series' second season, he said his experience with the rest of the cast was positive.
"We all came out of it as friends and formed a strong bond quickly," Morton said. He credited the strong bond of the cast as the reason for creating the event.
"It just started as an idea that everyone wanted to get back together and have a reunion," he said. "It just snowballed from there and got bigger as time progressed after the show ended taping in March."
Aside from great friendships, Morton also walked away from the show with a new perspective on reality television.
"When you see people on a game show, you always think, 'Why can't the person you're watching answer the easy questions being asked?' Morton said. "But being on the show I saw another side of the television process and learned your adrenaline is high at those moments and that it's
not always fun at times during the filming of the show."
Morton said he seemed to be more recognizable around Lawrence to people who watched the show, but he also said he did not let it go to his head.
"it's odd more than anything," he said. "People have been really nice though, so it's humbling."
Pop Culture Scramble is at 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Granada, 10th and Massachusetts streets. The event costs $5 for people 21 and older and $7 for those younger than 21.
If you would like to be a contestant, the qualifying test will take place at 3 p.m., one hour before Pop Culture Scramble begins. Morton said those who attended would be in for a good time.
"It will be fun to come out and meet the teams," Morton said. "Not often can you meet the cast. We are very fun and personable; we all know how to hang out and have fun."

Chervenak visited countries with water problems as she trekked around the world.
She said when she was in Ireland there was a water war and farmers

Chervenak said she also stayed near Lake Baikal while she was in Russia. Although it's the largest freshwater lake in the world, Chervenak said it wasn't accessible to the people because the infrastructure beneath had crumbled.
"In Mongolia we had seen people walking miles to get water," Chervenak said.
The Dow Chemical Co. sponsors the Blue Planet Run. Nancy Fullerton, manager of corporate citizenship for Dow, said the run gives Dow the opportunity to apply its science and technology to the world's challenges.
"This run is about providing safe drinking water to the more than 1.1 billion people who lack access," Fullerton said. "One hundred percent of all individual donations will go directly to safe drinking water projects around the world."

Bargains among the posters Union art sale provides inspiration, conversation
ideters@kansan.com
Claire Vawter, Olathe freshman, moved into Oliver Hall on Monday and noticed the walls were bare. She soon changed that.
Vawter found plenty of items to decorate her room at this week's poster sale at the Kansas Union. She bought an Audrey Hepburn poster earlier in the week and later went back to look for a poster of the movie "300" for her boyfriend.
"These are kind of for fun to spruce up the room," she said.
She thumbed through posters of James Dean and the movies "Jaws" and "Rocky" and said looking at the posters gave her some creative ideas that she could use in her artwork.
The sale is sponsored by Student Union Activities. The College Poster Sale Co., based in New York, is providing the posters to students at discount rates of up to 40 percent from retail prices.
Most of the 1,000 items in stock sell for $7 to $9, though some cost more. Karen Krinsky, the company's poster tour director, said popular-selling items were posters featuring Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali and drinking posters. The best-selling item, Krinsky said, was the "300" poster that depicts lead actor Gerard Butler, who played King Leonidas in the film, is standing at the center with his famous line "Tonight we dine in hell" written behind him.
Like Vawter, Peter Ciurej, Omaha, Neb., freshman, just moved into his residence hall and wanted some decorative material.
"The walls were looking pretty bare, so I thought I'd spruce it up a little bit."
Ciurej found just the right poster for his room. He bought a "Dumb and Dumber" poster that pictured Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels riding on a motorcycle through freezing weather.

Susan Hoffman, assistant director of union programs, said students aren't the only ones getting some good deals.
Hoffman said SUA and Union Programs receive 20 percent of the proceeds, and the money helps pay for other campus events. Hoffman said they hadn't decided where the proceeds from the poster sale would go yet, but the money from last year's sale helped pay for free cosmic bowling at the Jaybowl for the school year and other campus events.
"I just like the movie," he said. "It's a funny movie, it's a good poster. It'll be a good conversation piece."
"Ive even seen faculty and staff picking up a few things," Hoffman said.

Bombs ruin Bush's pretty picture of Iraq
BY KIM GAMEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD—Rescuers used bare hands and shovels Wednesday to claw through clay houses shattered by an onslaught of suicide bombings that killed at least 250 and possibly as many as 500 members of an ancient religious sect in the deadliest attack of the Iraq war.
The U.S. military blamed al-Qaida in Iraq, and an American commander called the assault an "act of ethnic cleansing."
The victims of Tuesday night's coordinated attack by four suicide bombers were Yazidis, a small Kurdish-speaking sect that has been targeted by Muslim extremists who consider its members to be blasphemers.
The blasts in two villages near the Syrian border crumbled buildings, trapping entire families beneath mud bricks and other wreckage. Entire neighborhoods were flattened.
"This is an act of ethnic cleansing, if you will, almost genocide," Army Maj. Gen. Benjamin Mixon, commander of U.S. forces in northern Iraq, said to CNN. He said that was evident from the fact Yazidis live in a remote part of Nineveh province that has been far from Iraq's conflict.
Mixon said last month that he proposed reducing American troop levels in Nineveh and predicted the province would shift to Iraqi government control as early as this month. It was unclear whether that projection would hold after Tuesday's staggering casualties.
Zayan Othman, health minister for Iraq's nearby autonomous Kurdish region, said 250 bodies had

been pulled from the rubble and some 350 people were injured.
But the death toll was put as high as 500 by some local officials, including Hashim al-Madani, a senior provincial security official; Kifah Mohammed, director of Sinjar hospital; and Iraqi army Capt. Mohammed Ahmed. They agreed with Othman that about 350 were wounded.
The carnage dealt a serious blow to the Bush administrations hopes of presenting a positive picture in a progress report on Iraq to be delivered by the top U.S. commander, Gen. David Petraeus, and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker in about four weeks.
Officials in northwestern Iraq pleaded for aid as many families were left homeless after their houses collapsed in the bombings near Siniar.
"The residents are appealing now to governmental and nongovernmental organizations to help
them with medicines, food, water and tents," Farhan said. "About 50 houses have completely collapsed over their families. Many of the victims have been badly dismembered. Rescuers are only finding pieces of dead bodies."
Hospitals across the region were overwhelmed and only emergency vehicles were exempt from a curfew that was in place across towns west of Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad.
Dakihl Qassim, the Sinjar mayor, said the four truck bombers approached two areas in the town of Qahataniya, 75 miles west of Mosul, from dirt roads and all exploded within minutes of each other. He said the casualty toll was expected to rise.
"We are still digging with our hands and shovels because we can't use cranes because many of the houses were built of clay." Qassim said.

THEATER
Auditions to see who fits the bill
BY MATT LINDBERG
mlindberg@kansan.com
Anyone with the desire to act should take notice: The KU theater department is holding its second and final day of auditions for the first four shows of the fall semester. The four shows include "Translations," "The Music Man," "The Death of Romance" and "Fool For Love."
John Stantinus, theater and film department chair, said open auditions were Thursday and today in Murphy Hall, with callback auditions this weekend and Monday.
"Auditions are campus-wide; everyone can join." Staniunas said. "I've had journalism students, biology students, you name it. Just come
on over."
Thursday night audition sign-ups took place all Thursday morning and afternoon. As of 3 p.m., 75 students had signed up for the night's auditions. Meaghan Deiter, a masters student in vocal performance from Sabetha, signed up for Thursday night's auditions of "The Music Man."
"It would just be a lot of fun," Deiter said. "I've done a handful of shows in the past.
"The box office would open at noon, and we would receive phone calls from people wanting to purchase their tickets at 8 a.m." said Charla Jenkins, the theater department
"You study your piece, make it living and breathing,and find the right actors who have the best chemistry."
and it has always been a great experience."
JOHN STANIUNAS KU Theater and Film Chair
The theater department has big expectations for the fall semester after the success of this summer's run of "Pageant," a musical which has its cast of men dressed in drag.
The revival of "Pageant" will feature the
cast from the summer's run.
This semester will mark the 50th anniversary of Murphy Hall and "The Music Man."
"We're having a big celebration for the 50th anniversaries," Jenkins said. "On Nov. 10, we will dedicate the
hall, have a special dinner ceremony and then everyone will go to see "The Music Man" to toon it all off"
Jenkins said this school year would be wild but a lot of fun.
Auditions are a lot of work, but Staniunas said they were a blast.
"The entire year is going to be hectic with alumni returning in the end of April, the 50th anniversaries and our auditions and shows all year long," she said.
"I love putting together the whole package," he said. "We have a new crop of students; you study your piece, make it living and breathing, and find the right actors who have the best chemistry"
Auditions can be intimidating to those who are new to the field, but try to act calm. Deiter said.
"Just have fun during your audition, and make sure you don't take it too seriously," she said.

Forging futures among engineers
BACK TO SCHOOL
BY MATT LINDBERG
mlindberg@kansan.com
After freshman engineering and computer science majors end their first classes this week, they will get an introduction to other parts of campus life this weekend. The Engineering Student Council will sponsor its "Fresh Frenzy" event Saturday to help them feel more at ease.
"The goal of Fresh Frenzy is to make the freshmen more comfortable with their peers and the school," said Erin Lewis, Fort Scott senior. Lewis, a chemical engineering major, created the event in 2006 along with her peers on the Engineering Student Council. "The Fresh Frenzy was created as a way to introduce freshman engineering students to each other, upperclassmen and the campus."
Although there are numerous tours given on campus to help students find their way, Frosh Frenzy is designed more as a game than just another tour. The event is based on the popular CBS reality series, "The Amazing Race."
"The freshmen are divided into teams where they then race around campus stopping at different stations, where a task must be completed before their next station's location is
revealed," said Kelsy Jones, Laramie, WY, junior. Jones, a chemical engineering student, is heading to the event this year.
"My favorite part of Frost Frenzy is seeing the freshmen change in just three short hours," she said. "In some cases, they have made friends for life with people they may not have met anywhere else other than in the classroom."
Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each station, as well as to the overall winning team. In addition, every participant will receive a free t-shirt for their efforts and be invited for a cookout outside the School of Engineering. Lewis said the event was worth the time for freshmen.
Along with new friends, Smith said the event helped introduce freshmen to the University and its traditions.
Water will be provided at various stations throughout the race to keep students hydrated in the heat. Frosh Frenzy is from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. this Saturday in front of Eaton Hall.
"My favorite part is watching the freshmen get involved in all the activities and begin to build their school spirit," Smith said.

Business school adds new major for fall
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
"A lot of businesses in this region have a very high demand for people who have these skills," said Doug Houston, director of finance, economics and decision sciences at the business school. "If we can produce students with experience in this field, the business community will be happy, and students will be happy."
An introductory class will be offered this semester, with follow-up classes beginning in the spring.
ccondron@kansan.com
The School of Business began offering a new undergraduate major in supply chain management this fall.
Supply chain management deals with the movement of goods from raw materials to how consumers use the final products.
"This area covers a number of different topics," said Canan Kocabasoglu, who will be teaching the introductory course. "Students will have the ability to go into the sub areas of supply chain management such as marketing."
The curriculum, which has already
been laid out, takes two full years to complete. Students can switch to the new major, or juniors already admitted to the business school can begin the program immediately.
"This is a hot market for interns, and a well-paying one too," Houston said. "We hope every student who enters this major has an opportunity for an internship."
Kocabasoglu said supply chain management majors are vital to several Kansas City-area companies including Hallmark, Sprint and Embarg.
There is an information meeting about the major at 5 p.m. on Aug. 23 in 505 Summerfield Hall. Students do not have to be admitted into the business school to attend the meeting. A panel of six people from local businesses will talk to students about the importance of supply chain management.
"It's a really good opportunity for students since most of the time will be spent with people who have experience in this area," Kacabasoglu said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—NASA decided Thursday that no repairs are needed for a deep gouge in Endeavour's belly and the space shuttle is safe to fly home.
Mission Control notified the seven shuttle astronauts of the decision right before they went to sleep, putting an end to a week of engineering analyses and anxious uncertainty—both in orbit and on Earth.
"Please pass along our thanks for all the hard work" radioed Endeavour's commander, Scott Kelly.
Mission Control replied, "It's great we finally have a decision
No repairs needed, shuttle safe to flv home
The astronauts had spent much of the day running through the never-before-attempted repair methods, just in case they were ordered up.
After meeting for five hours, mission managers opted Thursday night against any risky spacewalk repairs, after receiving the results of one final thermal test. The massive amount of data indicated Endeavour would suffer no serious structural damage during next week's re-entry.
and we can press forward."
Their worry was not that Endeavour might be destroyed and its seven astronauts killed in a replay of the Columbia disaster—the gouge is too small to be catastrophic.

SAFETY
Few new concerns arise
police
Andrew Wacker/KANSAN
Security has increased on campus this year. Students and parents who attended new student orientation learned about new technologies being used, including a text messaging system and a new check-in system at the residence halls.
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
New students and their parents don't have new concerns about safety at the University of Kansas — or, at least, they didn't show any at orientation sessions.
"We thought after the Virginia Tech tragedy wed have more questions about it," said Kristin Trendell, director of new student orientation, "but it was about the same."
That came as a shock to the orientation staff. They spent up to two hours researching campus security before presentations. Trendell said,
The lack of questioning followed a national trend. According to an Associated Press article, parents and students at colleges such as University of Florida, University of Georgia and even Virginia Tech had the same level of interest as always about security precautions.
At the University, parents and students might not have needed to ask questions: Safety has always been one of the main topic at orientation sessions, Trendell said.
parents and incoming students
Each session included a segment called "Making Smart Choices." It featured speakers from the KU Public Safety Office, Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and Watkins Memorial Health Center, Trendell said.
"We thought after the Virginia Tech tragedy we'd have more questions about it, but it was about the same."
KRISTEN TRENDELL Director of new student orientation
Orientation workers also gave
information about new safety technology this summer. Trendell said they emphasized a text messaging alert system. That system allows students to receive a text message from the school during an emergency. The staff tried to get students to turn in their phone
numbers at the sessions so they could be placed on the emergency list immediately.
Orientation sessions also included talks about new security at student housing. Jennifer Wamelink, associate director for student life, said the housing department did hear a few more questions from parents at the sessions. The presenters explained a new card system that will allow only students who live in the residence halls to enter the building. Wamelink said the University hoped to install the new systems by the end of the academic year. She said the housing department chose to use the system partially because of the incident at Virginia Tech.
"That caused everyone to pause," Wamelink said. "It was something we talked about before, but that let us move ahead."
Now that school has started and the orientation sessions have ended, it's up to students to stay safe. The orientation staff is confident students learned enough through the presentations and the usual amount of questioning.

need leaders," Ballard said. "I hope the students will understand you have to give back, and we can do it on our own level."
BALLARD (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Ballard said in-class speakers added something unique to the class. Visitors to the class will include Governor Kathleen Sebelius as well as women members of Sebelius' cabinet and the state senate.
"Students will be given a very vocal viewpoint of the status of women in leadership," Ballard said.
Ann Cudd, director of women's studies, first heard about a similar class in a presentation at a National Women's Studies Association meeting. The class was taught by a Minnesota legislator and was tied to a spring internship.
"It sounded so great," Cudd said. I thought, "How could we not do this, especially with Dr. Ballard?"
Cudd said Ballard was perfect for the class. Ballard has been a longtime supporter of the women's studies department and served as the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center director.
"Even better than the class from Minnesota, Dr. Ballard has taught a lot of courses at the University," Cudd said. "As a director at the Dole Institute, I think she sees this as part of her work."
Only elected people can impact policy, and that always has driven Ballard. When approached about serving in the Kansas Legislature, the possibility of representing women and making a difference appealed to Ballard.
"Women want to see women in strong leadership roles," Ballard said. "When people see someone like themselves, they say, 'Wow, that makes me feel proud, that's my
perspective."
Graduate teaching assistant Heather Yates is looking forward to working with Ballard because of her contributions to the political process.
"Dr. Ballard has experience with her background of being a state representative," Yates said. "She's definitely a commodity to the class."
Yates said the class would be very valuable for young women to understand the contributions of women politicians in the 21st century. She said women today have more representation and more support.
"In 2006, more women gained seats in political offices," Yates said. "Women have made significant strides."
Student Senate President Hannah Love, Dodge City senior, said she became interested in the class after being elected last semester.
"It really hit close to home, I became very interested in women and their role in politics," Love said. "I deal with gender issues on a daily basis."
Love said she looked forward to the real-world strategies Ballard would bring to the class.
"I think it's very important to understand how politics relates to women and affects us every day," Love said.
Ballard said women brought new perspectives to policymaking. She said the goal of the class was to encourage and prepare young women to take part in internships and leadership positions.
"Don't be afraid to get involved," Ballard said. "The payoff is so great."

COMMUNITY SERVICE
Service projects provide chance to volunteer
BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com
Several local organizations hope KU students will be doing something more worthwhile than nursing a hangover on Saturday morning.
The Center for Community Outreach is holding a service project from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. that will visit four volunteer sites where students can lend a hand.
The four projects on Saturday will include work at the Lawrence Humane Society, Lawrence Habitat for Humanity, Community Living Opportunities and a cleanup at Edgewood Park.
Dan Pierron, Olathe senior and co-director of Center for the Community Outreach, said the service project was a great way to preview a wide variety of ways to volunteer.
"There are several hundred students that do different projects out of the center each year," Pierron said.
At the Lawrence Humane Society students can help feed, clean and exercise animals. The Lawrence
"Sometimes KU can be detached from Lawrence; it's good for students to have a new perspective on the community."
There is something for everyone on Saturday, Pierron said.

Habitat for H u m a n i t y will work on a construction site. Students interested in nature can help with cleanup at Edgewood Park. The Community L i v i g Opportunities, an organization
that assists people with disabilities, will have a field day in Centennial
Park, Pierron said.
Jeremy Hahn, executive director of the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity, said volunteering by University students helps throughout the entire year.
"They're fantastic. We really enjoy their energy and help." Hahn said.
Midge Grinstead, director of the Lawrence Humane Society, said the work of University volunteers is critical to the humane society's operation. She said the time spent cleaning, socializing and exercising the animals is appreciated by already-overwhelmed employees.
"They are the backbone of the humane society," Grinstead said.
Agata Kaminska, Chicago senior and coordinator of Hawks for Health, said the project was aimed at letting University students know about the Center for Community Outreach and the valuable work they can do for the Lawrence community.
"It's so important for the University students to work with Lawrence, and be interested in what's happening," Kaminska said.
Pierron said the center helps foster a sense of community, and can be a rewarding experience both for Lawrence citizens and students.
"Sometimes KU can be detached from Lawrence; it is good for students to have a new perspective on the community," Pieron said. "It's a great feeling to be able to give back to that community."
Students interested in volunteering Saturday for the service project should meet before 10 a.m. on Saturday in the Kansas Union lobby. Transportation will be provided to the four sites, and lunch will be provided for all volunteers. For more information, students should contact Dan Pierron or Kelli Stout at the Center for Community Outreach in the Kansan Union at (785)864-4073.

Psychology professor Patricia Hawley accepts a check for $5000 from Mark Heider, president of Commerce Bank in Lawrence, as part of a Kemper award she received Thursday during a surprise visit to her afternoon class. Five other University of Kansas professors received Kemp Awards.
Officials surprise teachers with awards
ccondron@kansan.com
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost Richard Lariviere surprised seven teachers during their classes Thursday, presenting each of the recipients of the W.T. Kemper Fellowships for Teaching Excellence with a $5,000 check.
The "surprise patrol" will continue given awards today and next week, with 20 teachers and advisers amounting to $100,000 given out.
"It's a great way to start the semester," said Patricia Hawley, assistant psychology professor and one of Thursday's recipients of a Kemper Fellowship. "It's amazing to be among such great previous Kemper award winners."
Thursday's other honorees were David Bergeron, professor of English, Marsha Hawler, professor of history of art, Mark Mort, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, Lee Skinner, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese Bryan Young, associate professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering and Yan Bing Zhang, assistant professor of communication studies,
"I had about a two minute warning that this was going to happen," Young said when he received the award. "I was only going to be here for about five minutes, but then was told I better stick around."
"When the upper classmen see us walk in, they usually know what's going on, but most of the undergraduates don't know what's happening." Mark Heider, said President of Commerce Bank, the trustee of the Kemper Fund.
Heider reminded students in Young's class that students who had sat in their seats before are now the ones with jobs in big cities.
"This represents those that have gone before you, and he helped them have the best education they can receive," Heider said.
The award was first established with $500,000 from the William T. Kemper Foundation, which was created in 1989, and another $500,000 from KU Endowment.

BY PAUL FOY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
HUNTINGTON, Utah — A disastrous cave-in Thursday night killed
a rescue worker and injured eight others who were trying to tunnel through rubble to reach six trapped miners, authorities said.
It was a shocking setback on
the 11th day of the effort to find miners who have been confined at least 1,500 feet below ground at the Crandall Canyon mine. It's unknown whether the six are alive or dead.
SRI
Robert Murray, Crandall Canyon Mine owner, gathers his thoughts before answering a question at a press briefing Thursday in Huntington, Utah. Rescuers were drilling yet another hole into the mine Thursday, this time aiming for a spot where they had detected mysterious vibrations in the mountain. Officials said Thursday that the latest of three holes previously drilled reached an intact chamber with potentially breathable air.
AI Hartmann/SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
Officials said the cave-in was caused by a mountain bump, which commonly refers to pressure inside the mine that shoots coal from the walls with great force. Seismologists say such an event caused the Aug. 6 cave-in that trapped six men inside the central Utah mine. Thursday's bump occurred about 8:30 p.m. EDT.
"All rescue workers have been evacuated from the mine. Nine rescue workers were injured in the accident. One of those suffered fatal injuries," said Dirk Fillpot, a spokesman for the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration.
At least one rescue worker was flown from the Crandall Canyon mine to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, said Jess Gomez, a spokesman for Salt Lake City's LDS Hospital, which dispatches medical helicopters in Utah.
One rescue worker was in very serious condition at Castleview Hospital, and two were in serious condition there, said jeff Manley, hospital chief executive.
Family members of miners, many in tears, gathered at the mine's front entrance looking for news.
A mine employee, Donnie Leonard, said he was outside the mine when he heard a manager "yelling about a cave-in."
On top of the mountain, rescuers were drilling a fourth hole, aiming for a spot where they had detected mysterious vibrations in the mountain.
A woman who answered the phone at the mine said mine coowner Bob Murray was not available for comment.
Underground, the miners had advanced to only 826 feet in nine days. Mining officials said conditions in the mine were treacherous, and they were frequently forced to halt digging because of seismic activity. A day after the initial collapse, the rescuers were pushed back 300 feet when a bump shook the mountain and filled the tunnel with rubble.
Crews have been drilling holes from the top of the mountain to try to find the miners while others were tunneling through a debris-filled entry to the mine.
Officials said Thursday that the latest of three holes previously drilled reached an intact chamber with potentially breathable air.
Video images were obscured by water running down that bore hole, but officials said they could see beyond it to an undamaged chamber in the rear of the mine. It yielded no sign the miners had been there.
Murray said it would take at least
two days for the latest drill to reach its target, in an area where a seismic listening device detected a "noise" or vibration in 1.5-second increments and lasting for five minutes.
Officials said it was impossible to know what caused the vibrations and on Thursday clarified the limits of the technology.
The device, called a geophone, can pinpoint the direction of the source of the disturbance, but it can't tell whether it came from within the mine, the layers of rock above the mine or from the mountain's surface, said Richard Stickler, chief of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration.
The "noise," a term he used a day before, wasn't anything officials could hear. Stickler said. "Really, it's not sounds but vibrations."
Officials stressed that the motion picked up by the geophones could be unrelated to the mine.
Together with the discovery of an intact chamber and breathable oxygen levels, the baffling vibrations offered only a glimmer of hope for rescuing the miners, but Murray seized on the developments Thursday.
WORLD
Nothing had been detected or heard since the five-minute period Wednesday. Stickler said Thursday.
Death toll still climbing after earthquake in Peru

The earthquake's magnitude was raised from 7.9 to 8 on Thursday by the U.S. Geological Survey. At least 14 aftershocks of magnitude 5 or greater followed. The tremors caused renewed anxiety, though there were no reports of additional damage or injuries.
President Alan Garcia flew by helicopter to Ica, a city of 120.000 where a quarter of the buildings collapsed, and declared a state of emergency. He said flights were reaching Ica to take in aid and take out the injured.
"The dead are scattered by the dozens on the streets," Pisco Mayor Juan Mendoza said to Lima radio station CPN while sobbing. "We don't have lights, water, communications. Most houses have fallen. Churches, stores, hotels- everything is destroyed."
aftershocks would send the structures crashing down.
"The dead are scattered by the dozens on the streets. We don't have lights, water, communications. Most houses have fallen."
The United Nations said the death toll was expected to rise beyond the 450 reported by Peru.
Services were packed when the quake struck at 6:40 p.m. Wednesday because Aug. 15 is celebrated by Roman Catholics as the day the Virgin Mary rose up to heaven.
Pisco's mayor said at least 200 people were buried in the rubble of a church where they were attending a service. Some 17 others died inside a church in Ica, the Canal N cable news station said. The historic Senor de Luren church was among several heavily damaged in Ica, where at least 57 bodies were taken to the morgue.
"It is quite likely that the numbers will continue to go up since the destruction of the houses in this area is quite total," U.N. Assistant Secretary-General Margareta Wahlstrom said.
Destruction was centered in Peru's southern desert, at the oasis city of Ica and the nearby port of Pisco, about 125 miles southeast of the capital, Lima.
Government doctors called off their national strike for higher pay.

The help includes cash from the United States, United Nations.
"There has been a good international response even without Peru asking for it, and they've been very generous," Garcia said during a stop in Pisco, where so many buildings fell that streets were covered with small mountains of adobe bricks and broken furniture.
Red Cross and European Union as well as tents, water, medicine and other supplies. The U.S. Navy hospital ship Comfort, equipped with a staff of 800 and 12 operating rooms, is in Ecuador and could quickly sail to Peru if asked.
U. S. officials said.
In Washington, President Bush offered condolences and said the administration was studying how best to send help. One American died in the quake, according to the State Department.
Electricity, water and phone service were down in much of southern Peru. The government rushed police, soldiers and doctors to the area, but traffic was paralyzed by giant cracks and fallen power lines on the Panamerican Highway. Large boulders also blocked Peru's Central Highway to the Andes mountains.
authorities attributed to short circuits at electrical plants where the quake damaged cables and other equipment.
Many people said they had seen "lights in the sky" a phenomenon
In Chincha, a small town near Pisco only 25 miles from the quake's epicenter, an AP Television News cameraman counted 30 bodies in a hospital patio. The face of one victim was uncovered, her eyes open. The feet of another stuck out from under a blanket.

Hundreds of injured lay side-by-side on cots on walkways and in gardens outside hospital buildings, kept outside for fear that aftershocks could topple the cracked wall.

"Our services are saturated and half of the hospital has collapsed," Dr. Huber Malma said as he single-handedly attended to dozens of patients.
The quake toppled a wall in Chincha's prison, allowing at least 600 prisoners to flee. Only 29 had been recaptured, national prisons official Muquiel Aguilar said.
Overstretched police and rescue workers in orange uniforms sought to help survivors trying to get some sleep in the streets amid collapsed adobe homes.
"We're all frightened to return to our houses," Maria Cortez said, staring vacantly at the half of her house that was still standing.
Residents look for relatives among bodies of people killed during an earthquake that hit the area late Wednesday in the town of Pisco, Peru. The death toll rose to 450 on Thursday.
The Peruvian Red Cross arrived in Ica and Pisco $7\frac{1}{2}$ hours after the quake, about three times as long as it would normally have taken because of road damage, Red Cross official Giorgio Ferrario said.
In Lima, 95 miles from the epicenter, only one death was recorded. But
the furious two minutes of shaking prompted thousands to flee into the streets and sleep in public parks.
Wednesday's quake caused a tsunami as well, but scientists expected surges of no more than 1.6 feet in faraway Japan.

Garvey: The Michael Vick case is too complex to make early judgments
EDITORIAL BOARD
Police use vehicles confiscated in drug cases
City law enforcement officials begin flaunting drug dealers' cars, complete with stickers
imagine, if you will, the next time you're driving down town and you see an
all-black Cadillac Escalade, on black 24-inch rims, with dark, limo-tinted windows. Now, that doesn't seem to appear that out of the ordinary, especially in a college town with a lot of wealthy kids. But let's put a spin on that. As the Escalade drives away, the back window displays this writing in big, bold white letters: "This Used To Be A Drug Dealer's Car, Now Its Ours... Lawrence Police." Seem hard to imagine? Well, it shouldn't be. Government agencies across the country have been implementing like programs in cities such as Tulsa, Okla., where a similar white Escalade displayed the writing courtesy of the Tulsa Police Department. Next time you're in Tulsa and you almost break your neck trying to see
who's in that shiny, brand new tricked out SUV, be aware that it could be a cop, with a drug dealer's ride.
When someone is arrested on drug-related charges, all possessions that have been purchased with the help of the profits received from selling illegal drugs are awarded as possessions to the city by the courts. These items are then sold or auctioned off with the proceeds going to the city or the state. However, in the case of the Tulsa Police Department, for the past few years they have been taking these drug dealers' vehicles and placing decals on them, so they appear like police cars. Several of the vehicles that are confiscated have also been and continue to be used as undercover vehicles.
According to officials, the
motivation behind this is to send the message that using and selling drugs is not profitable. Our concern is the fact that this tactic doesn't seem to be reducing the illegal drug market. While an obvious statement, confiscation remains just that: a statement. We're curious to see if this will have any long-term effects, or if it's just for show.
What we are left with are cops riding in luxury, parading and flaunting the fact that they're sitting in a car that was bought with dope money. Yes, we get the message: the only ones who profits from the selling of drugs are the cops, and the ones who suffer are the car companies.
The cars dealers' image is now associated with crime. What honest businessman wants to get a nice, family-sized
SUV that has now been associated with dealing drugs? People won't be able to tell if he's driving down the road in his own honest, earned and purchased vehicle or whether he's a cop or even a drug dealer. Whether or not Lawrence will follow the trend, we're not sure. No one at the Lawrence Police Department was available to comment on the matter at the time.
Either way, if they do team up with the other agencies and departments that are doing this, having a nice ride is not going to mean the same thing anymore. Whether you're a grown man or a young co-ed driving the car your parents bought you, people will be looking at the back window of every clean vehicle that passes by, wondering: drug dealer or cop?
THE DURBIN DISPATCH
Traditions deserve respect from companies
While they contribute to the community, new businesses should be mindful of institutions
Four large losses will be experienced throughout KU this fall with the demolition of a historic piece of campus ground. Decisions this summer have cleared the way for a local group seeking to develop a seven-story "Eldridge on the Hill" hotel, a reference to the downtown Eldridge Hotel, on the historic rim of campus. The "Eldridge on the Hill" would be located on the corner of 12th and Indiana, the current home of The Crossing (which will remain open), Beat the Bookstore, Big 12 Burritos, and the former home of Yello Sub.
CHELSEA DURBIN
Although the "Eldridge on the Hill" would be a valuable addition to the community, and that it would vastly improve the "skyline" of Lawrence, the truth is that it's taking away a
cornerstone of campus. The most frustrating thing about this idea is the tosse-up meaning of the word tradition. The Eldridge is known around the community as a historic site downtown, full of tradition, but the "Eldridge on the Hill" is disregarding the tradition of student-oriented locations on campus. When thinking of the word tradition, a bar and a sub shop are not necessarily the first things that come to mind, but, to many here on campus, Yello Sub and the other businesses symbolize
a celebration after finals, a place to meet friends between classes, the hangout on a warm summer day, or just a place to end the night. With the removal of these local establishments, we are not only denying incoming freshman the ability to experience such traditions, but we are demolishing memories and experiences played out on that block of KU campus.
Understanding the foundation for such an idea is hard to understand, especially when the incoming business does nothing to cater for the current students of KU or its traditions. Is the loss of four locally owned businesses—a legendary sub shop, an affordable bookstore, and a delicious burritos joint—really worth losing to a hotel that has another location 1.12 miles away? I think not.
Durbin is a Hays junior in journalism and English.

MOUNTAIN DEW AT MIDNIGHT
Construction causes major frustration
While meant for improvement, campus construction projects cause inconvenience
I feel like a misleading salesman is running my college. He keeps promising a new and improved campus with spifty services, yet these things are still under construction. And the construction either closes campus down or makes it hard to access.
Some improvements are needed. The additional offices in Wescoe Hall can now house more professors, and the Student Recreation and Fitness Center expansions will add additional studio space for more sports and activities.
However, until these projects get
is a mess. It's an awful inconvenience to close the Underground in Wescoe due to construction. I mean, seriously, it's the only dining on campus with Chick-Fil-A!
even need to put a punch line here to get a laugh. I'd like to add that this news release is titled "Site for new KU football facility won't impair views of Campanile Hill."
Also, it's annoying to go work out and relieve some
According to the KU Parking and Transit Web site, the parking lot west of the stadium is expanded and now open. Students can access it from 11th and Maine. I am glad the parking promise was kept because now I'm even FARTHER from the student union and classes but, hey, I'm only two feet from the stadium! And I still have a spectacular view of Campanile!
JENNY HARTZ
However, I can't say the same for the new football practice facility and practice fields over by the stadium. If you've driven by there lately it looks like the movie set for "Antz." Apparently practice fields that affect one team are worth more than parking for people paying to get an education on campus.
Chancellor Hemengway promised, in a KU news release on May 12, 2006, that every displaced parking spot would be replaced. The construction for the fields and parking lots would begin in Summer 2007 and end before classes start. I don't
stress only to find out that the track is closed "due to construction." Or the machines you like to watch buff men work out on are gone because they've been moved because the entire wall of the building has been knocked down. It's even more annoying when you realize you are paying with your student fees to use this gym that's constantly closed.
According to the article "Completion of renovations delayed," from the July 25 Kansan, the setbacks on the SRFC expansion are due to heavy rains and the rising cost of lumber. At least the director of Recreation Services acknowledges the construction isn't on schedule and apologizes in advance for shutting things down.
Another approaching inconvenience will be Wescoe's new ventilation system, a two-year project ("Study shows no link to brain tumors", from the July 25 Kansan). During this process, many professors will have to move their offices. These offices could be somewhere near 6th and Wakarusa.
Improvements need to be made but timeliness is a key factor. If a project is to be completed when classes start, don't start construction in late July.
Plus, it's a good idea to consider how many people you are inconveniencing, and if your solution for these people is just as good or better than what they had before. However, alumni have donated a few of these additions, like the Docking Family Gateway fountain and the new football facility; we can't decide what they do with their money. I shall donate ski lifts and a 20-storey parking garage, promising to complete them by Fall of Sometimes In This Millennium. And then maybe I'll add a gold statue of myself.

Women outsource preseason competition
BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
in a new environment loaded with distractions, the Kansas women's basketball team first struggled with, and then conquered, its opponents.
Now the lajhawks return to Lawrence an improved team ready for a new season.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson and the Jayhawk women returned to Kansas Wednesday after a 10-day trip to Australia, which saw them go 3-1 against a variety of Aussie competition.
The team played an admittedly bad game to start its vacation, falling to the Sydney Flames 88-54. Things improved quickly, though, and the Jayhawks won their last three games by a combined 63 points.
They outlasted Logan Blue, 78-71, and then dominated both Logan Red and the U-19 State team from Queensland 83-56 and 83-54 respectively.
"Game one, you know, we didn't come out with very good intensity and we didn't prepare ourselves like we wanted to," sophomore guard Sade Morris said.
The wake up call from that loss served as motivation in the rest of the contests for sophomore Danielle McCray.
"After that woke us up we had a talk with coach and we turned it up from there," said McCray, who led Kansas averaging 21 points per game on the trip.
Other standouts on the trip included sophomore Porscha Weddington, who averaged just more than 12 points a game, and senior Taylor McIntosh, who posted back-to-back double-digit rebound efforts.
Morris, who averaged nearly 14 points per game, enjoyed the fast pace of the games and the change in her team's attitude.
"We had to let people in Australia know who Kansas really is," she said.
Basketball wasn't the only thing the team did in Australia. At first it was hard for the players to focus on the game because of everything outside the arena.
The team got the full spectrum of sights, including the Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef and some bungee jumping.
"The snorkeling was pretty fun, seeing all the exotic fish in the Great Barrier Reef," McCray said.
While the memories of those events will last a lifetime, the work they got done on the

FOOTBALL
Season's schedule full of pushovers
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
To put together a college football schedule is to walk a fine line. When coaches and administrators sit down to create their team's schedule, they seek a balance between credible opponents and pushovers. Kansas' 2007 schedule has a lot of the latter.
ESPN.com put Kansas on top of its list of easiest schedules. The Sporting News ranked the Jayhawks' slate the least challenging in the Big 12 Conference. College football expert Phil Steele was a little more generous, slotting Kansas 88th on the list of most difficult schedules.
When asked about the team's 2007 calendar, coach Mark Mangino shrugged off the criticism.

"We've had times when our schedule was the second or third toughest in the country," Mangino said. "This year, people are saying it's easier. That's easy for them to say because they don't have to coach it or play it."
Only one of Kansas' four nonconference opponents finished above .500 in 2006 and none of the teams are from Bowl Championship Series conferences.
2006 RECORD
Central Michigan, which visits Lawrence Sept. 1, presents the stiffest nonconference test. The Chippewa were a surprise success story last season when they won 10 games and captured the Mid-American Conference title. But Kansas could be catching Central Michigan at just the right time. Coach Butch Jones is new to the program and the team lost two players to the NFL Draft.
The Jayhawks other three nonconference foes are not as esteemed. Toledo defeated Kansas last season but ended with a 5-7 record. Southeastern Louisiana and Florida International struggled to a combined record of 2-21 in 2006. The first four weeks of the

season should provide easy victories but could leave the jayhawks short on experience in close games heading into the conference season.
"It's laid out to be a pretty good season," junior cornerback Aqib Talib said. "Who doesn't like to play at home? Anytime you have seven home games, it's good for your team."
A home game-heavy schedule should help the Jayhawks in their effort to earn bowl eligibility in 2007. Kansas has posted a 4-21 road record during Mangino's five-year tenure. At home during this same span the team is 20-12. On top of the home-field advantage Kansas will enjoy early in the season, the team will face one of the easiest conference schedules in the Big 12.
Because of the way the conference schedule rotates, Kansas draws Big 12 south opponents Baylor, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State instead of Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Texas A&M and Oklahoma State are upper echelon teams but missing out on Texas and Oklahoma could be a godsend for Kansas.
"As far as conference play and the way it rotates, this year folks will say it's not real tough and next year they'll say, 'Poor Kansas, look who they have to play.' That's just how the schedule goes - we have no control over that." Mangino said.
The 2007 season could be as good a chance at a postseason berth as the layhawks receive in the foreseeable future. In 2008, the team travels to South Florida and draws tougher Big 12 south opponents.

Teams establish conference as one of the country's toughest
BY RUSTIN DODD
rdodd@kansan.com
Bechard said that if he looked through the 11 schools in the Big 12 that field a team. Oklahoma State being the lone exception, he thought the conference had an argument as being the best.
The Pac-10 has long had the distinction of being the strongest volleyball conference in the country, a label earned by virtue of winning 13 national championships since 1981. But Kansas coach Ray Bechard is quick to add the Big 12 to the discussion of toughest volleyball conferences.
On Dec. 16, in front of a national television audience and more than 17,000 fans at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb., topranked Nebraska defeated No. 2 Stanford 27-30, 30-26, 28-30, 27-27 to win its third national title since 1995. The best volleyball team the Big 12 had to offer was better than the best team from the Pac-10.
Last season, a telling signal of the growing strength of Big 12 volleyball was broadcast nationwide.
Kansas should be tested again in conference play this season. In addition to Nebraska,
"I think we have 10 teams who feel like they could be an NCAA tournament team," Bechard said. "And that's not going to happen because we'll beat each other up in conference play."
That turned out to be the case last season for Kansas, which started the season 7-2 before finishing 11th in the conference with a 3-17 record. Kansas suffered on the road, finishing with 0-10 in the Big 12 on the road.
A growing success
Six Big 12 volleyball teams made the NCAA tournament in 2006;

Texas Elite Eight

Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Iowa State and Missouri all made it to the NCAA tournament. Kansas State and Texas A&M can also lay claim to making an NCAA tournament appearance within the last two years, advancing in 2005, which was also the last year that Kansas made the field of 64.
The increased amount of talented teams has not been lost on Bechard.
Five or six years ago, you could look at the schedule and see 5 or 6 sure wins, but now you just look at it and say, 'Hey, we have to play really well to win that match.' Bechard said.

Former Jayhawk Michael
Lee joins coaching staff
The number of former Jayhawks on the basketball coaching staff just grew.
Kansas coach Bill Self announced that former guard Michael Lee would be a graduate student manager for the basketball team. Lee is the third former player on the staff, Danny Manning and Brett Ballard also coach.
Lee played for Kansas from 2001 to 2005 and helped the Jayhawks to the Final Four twice. Outside shooting was his main strength. Lee made 50 percent of his three-point attempts his first two seasons
"It feels really good to be back," Lee said in a release. "It's funny, when I left I said I would never come back, but the longer I was away I realized Kansas is a part of me. I fell in love with Kansas from day one and I will be a part of Kansas until the day I die."

Nine birdies contribute to one-shot lead

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Will MacKenzie would be a natural for the X Games. Now he's out to prove there's room for a kayaking, snowboarding surfer in the sometimes stuffy world of golf.
MacKenzie, who spent a more than a decade away from the sport, nearly made a hole-in-one and had nine birdies to offset one bogey in taking an encouraging first step toward the second victory of his career.

MacKenzie then opened the back nine with birdies on five of seven holes, rolling in a 21-foot birdie putt on No. 16 during his march up the leaderboard.

BIG 12
3B
Huskers' backfield full of talent
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
93
Nebraska wide receiver Terrence Nunn eludes Kansas defenders after a catch. The Cornhuskers hope to return to the Big 12 title game this season.
Nebraska coach Bill Callahan is only 22-15 since taking over the NU program four years ago. Former coach Frank Solich recruited many of the players that were around during his first years at the program.
OFFENSE
2007 will mark the first year that almost all of the Cornhuskers are Callahan's players and fit into his West Coast offense.
The Cornhuskers lose the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in quarterback Zac Taylor and a second round NFL draft choice in running back Brandon Jackson, but the dropoff in production should be minimal. Senior Sam Keller is the most likely to succeed Taylor in Lincoln, Neb. Keller transferred from Arizona State where he threw for more than 3,000 yards. Nebraska also has one of the deepest running back corps in the nation. Junior Marlon Lucky, junior Cody Glenn and senior Kenny Wilson carried the ball a combined 287 times last season for five yards per carry. The wide receivers are just as talented as the running backs. The Cornhuskers will enjoy the services of each of their top five receivers from last year. Seniors Maurice Purify and Terrence Nunn combined to catch 10 touchdown passes last season. The offensive line is full of upperclassmen and is anchored by right guard Matt Slauson. Slauson is a 6-foot-5, 335 pound junior with NFL potential.

17-14 Bowl Game Loss
Cotton Bowl vs.
Auburn, lost
30. 6 Points Per Game
18. 3 Opponents' Points Per Game
DEFENSE
Nebraska will employ an entirely new defensive line in 2007. Players like sophomore defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh and junior defensive end Zach Potter were highly regarded out of high school but have limited collegiate experience. Experience shouldn't be a problem among the linebackers. Seniors Bo Ruud and Corey McKeon are two-year starters and rank amoung the Big 12's best. Senior Steve Octavien will join the duo as the starting
weak-side linebacker in NU's 4-3 defensive scheme. Ruud is one of the favorites to win the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year award because of his versatility. Ruud can use his strength to help stop the running game, his speed to get to the quarterback and his soft hands to pick off passes. The Cornhuskers were eighth in defending the pass last year in the Big 12 but could improve with the emergence of senior cornerbacks Andre Jones and Zackary Bowman.
SEASON OUTLOOK
Four of Nebraska's first five games are at home. The Cornhuskers welcome preseason the University of Southern California, which is ranked No.1 in preseason polls. Nebraska draws three brutal opponents from the Big 12 South. They have to play
Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and Texas consecutively in the middle of the season. Nebraska last won the Big 12 title eight years ago and Husker fans are eager to bring the trophy back to Lincoln. There is a good chance that the Cornhuskers could be playing in the conference championship for the second straight year. The game is in San Antonio this season. The key game in order for Nebraska to get there falls on October 6 when they play at Missouri. Either way, the Huskers should have a productive year and will most likely find themselves in a New Year's Day bowl game.

Returning, new athletes prepare to make waves
BY SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com
The Kansas Jayhawks' swimming and diving team looks to have another strong season and contend for the Big 12 Championship.
The squad includes 33 athletes
"Our conference goal is to finish in the top three," coach Clark Campbell said. "We also want to qualify and score points at the NCAA Championships."
The squad includes 35 athletes — 28 swimmers and 5 divers. It began preseason workouts last week and will begin official practice on
Sept. 10. Eight freshman and one transfer student are new to this year's team, which will travel to the Big 12 Refres at Ames, Iowa, for its first meet of the season on Oct. 19.
"Everyone gets faster and the divers learn more difficult dives," Campbell said of the progress he expects over the course of the season. "Last year was a very good year for us. The squad had 70 percent lifetime best times last season."
The layhawks are coming off a solid season in which they finished first in the Big 12 North and third place overall. Texas placed second,
and Texas A&M won the conference title.
Last year's squad set eight school records, and three athletes were invited to the 2007 NCAA Championships, which were held in Minneapolis, Minn., in March. Two of those athletes, sophomore Ashley Robinson and junior Danielle Herrmann, will return to this year's team. Robinson competed in two freestyle events, and Herrmann was invited to compete in a pair of back-stroke races.
The Jayhawks also tied with Missouri for the most athletes who
were named Big 12 Academic All Americans. Nine of the 16 athletes who earned this distinction will return to this year's squad.
After traveling to Ames the Jayhawks will have several more meets before the Big 12 Championships begin in Austin, Texas, in late February. Campbell is beginning his sixth year as the head coach of the swimming team, and Eric Elliot is starting his fifth season as the head diving coach. Assistant diving coach Jen Fox also is entering her fifth year with the team.

Former K-State linebacker makes plays Diles impresses Texans' coaches so far in practices, first preseason game
BY KRISTIE RIEKEN AP SPORTS WRITER
HOUSTON — Zac Diles wasn't expected to play a very big role in coach Gary Kublak's plan for the
Houston Texans this season. In fact, he wasn't supposed to play much of a role at all.
But the seventh-round pick has been so impressive in camp that Kubiak is begin-
Diles had 92 tackles including $3\frac{1}{2}$ sacks last season for the Wildcats. He had 50 tackles and two sacks as a junior.
The linebacker out of Kansas State has been getting some work in practice with the second team defense and his work ethic has all but assured him a spot on special teams coverage.
The Texans aren't sure why Diles dropped to the seventh round, but
"He's pushing hard to get on the field awful quick, so we'll see," Kubiak said. "That's a big step to take, but if the kid keeps doing what he's doing, we're going to have to find a way to get him out there."
"I'm working hard so I'm glad they are noticing it," he said. "I'm excited."

He's got good instincts, and he's just a good fit for us. He doesn't have the prototypical size and speed but he's got instincts, and he's got good enough athleticism and speed."
Diles said last year's Defensive Rookie of the Year DeMeco Ryans and veteran Danny Clark have really helped in his transition to the NFL.
"They have been nothing but
great to me," Diles said. "If I have a question on the field, they are the first ones next to me. They are real helpful to me."

players who will disappoint fantasy-football owners every year, there are also those players whose production on the field will surprise. Most owners refer to these players as "sleeper" picks. It is a guessing game trying to figure out which players will post unexpected numbers through the season, but here are some players to look for in your fantasy draft
Some players come out of nowhere to score loads of fantasy points for their owners. Had anybody heard of Mike Furrey before last year? He had 98 catches, 1,086 receiving yards and six touchdowns. Also, according to Espn. com, Frank Gore was taken at an average pick of 65.8 and ended up being the fourth highest scoring running back.
This may be the year Ronald Curry is referred to as a full-fledged wide receiver. The departure of Randy Moss from Oakland makes room for Curry, the front-runner for the No. 2 receiver slot in the Oakland system who's battling with the struggling Mike Williams and a number of unknowns. The Raiders will be losing for almost the entire season, so the offense will be throwing plenty, and Curry's athleticism as a converted quarterback should allow for some big plays in the passing game.
Last year Tatum Bell rushed for 1,025 yards in Mike Shanahan's extremely productive running scheme in Denver. This post-season he was traded to Detroit and seemed to be designated as the backup to Kevin Jones. However, injury problems and poor performances in training camp from Jones may have opened the door for Bell. Right now, Espn.com has Bell listed as the No. 1 running back in Detroit. With Mike Marttz as his offensive coordinator, Bell should be worked into a balanced and potent passing offense and benefit from the reliance on the passing game. His speed and elusiveness make him a player to watch in this offense.
There may be a silver lining hidden in the flasco the Falcons have faced this off-season. The probable suspension of Michael Vick and the aging of Warrick Dunn may make for the emergence of Jerious Norwood. Atlanta has always split their running game multiple ways, and without a mobile quarterback like Vick, those extra carries could be passed on to the speedy Norwood. Rookie coach Bobby Petrino would be unwise to put too many eggs into the Joey Harrington basket, so it is likely we will see the same rush-heavy offense from Atlanta this season with a larger dose of Norwood.
San Francisco gave up 344.2 yards per game last year. They also had 34 sacks and 14 interceptions. The addition of Nate Clements and Patrick Willis, combined with the experience of
The Chiefs are excited about Brodie Croyle. Excited enough that they traded Trent Green to make way for Croyle. Damon Huard had a terrific season last year when he played while Green was injured and will have the number one spot coming into the regular season, according to Espn.com, but Croyle may get his opportunity sooner than you think. The Chiefs have a good rushing offense that would help Croyle ease into the starting role. Croyle has a strong arm and the leadership intangibles the Chiefs are looking for in their quarterback, so don't be surprised if you see Croyle make an impact this year.
Manny Lawson at linebacker last year should help improve the San Francisco defense. Clements will immediately boost the secondary, and the rush defense should come along through the season.
Expect to see Mike Nugent making a lot of field goals for the New York Jets this season. According to Yahoo.com, Nugent is the 18th ranked kicker in fantasy football. Now, kicker is not a position held in high regards in fantasy matters. Therefore, you could wait a while to get some good receivers and running backs and spend a late round pick on Mike Nugent, who has the potential to be a top ten kicker. He has a strong leg, which was proven in college, and he plays for a team with a solid offense that will get him a decent amount of both field goal and extra point attempts.

》 MICHAEL VICK
Goodell remains postive
BY LARRY LAGE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The NFL commissioner, touring training camps, raved about Detroit Lions coach Rod Marielli and his players after a visit on Thursday. He spoke to them mostly about their responsibilities as players.
As soon as Goodell started taking questions during a news conference, however, he was asked about Vick. And the questions kept coming.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. - Roger Goodell wants to talk football. Michael Vick keeps getting in the way.
There has been a drumbeat of news about Vick, who is charged with running a dogfightring ring on his Virginia property. Goodell insists this is not eclipsing enthusiasm about the game itself.
"I don't think it's overshadowing the season," he said. "I think our fans are excited about football, but I understand the interest in the story."
Vick is facing increased pressure to strike a deal with prosecutors in his federal dogfighting conspiracy case. He conferred with his lawyers for hours Wednesday.
"We're going to do what we always said we were going to do, which is rely on the facts," Goodell said. "If there is some type of a plea agreement, then we will obviously take the time to understand what that plea is and we'll see how it fits into our personal conduct (policy)."
Goodell barred Vick from training camp while the league investigates. The commissioner said the league is monitoring talks between Vick's lawyers and prosecutors. He wants the legal process to run its course before he rules on Vick's future in the league.
Under NFL policy, a player can be banned for illegal gambling or associating with gamblers. Vick might face that penalty.
"The gambling) is certainly an issue," Goodell said after meeting with the Cleveland Browns at their year-round training facility. "Law enforcement may be concerned about certain things about this. We may be concerned about other aspects of this. That's why we want to evaluate what the government has. We don't know all of the facts on that. Michael's team may not know all the facts at this point in time."
The quarterback was linked to betting by a statement signed by former co-defendant Tony Taylor, who pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the government, and the July 17 indictment.
Two other co-defendants Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips are to enter plea agreements Friday. Prosecutors have said they will seek a superseding indictment that could mean additional charges against Vick.
Vick has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiring to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
In April police found dozens of pit bulls, as well as equipment commonly used in dogfighting. The indictment said dogs that lost fights or fared poorly in test fights were sometimes executed.
According to the statement signed by Taylor as part of his plea agreement, Vick financed virtually all of the "Bad Newz Kennels" dogfighting enterprise on Vick's property.
Vick's charges have hurt the NFLs image in an offseason also marked by suspensions of Adam "Pacman" Jones, Tank Johnson and Chris Henry for off-field conduct. Goodell contends just four players out of about 2,000 in the league are generating most of the scrutiny.
"I've said to Pacman and any player, 'You have to earn your way back into the National Football League and you have to do it through your conduct.' Goodell said.
Goodell has sensed nothing but positive feedback during his tour of the camps.
"I'm proud of our players. I'm proud of what they do in the communities and on the field," he said. "I think more has to be discussed on that. We have always talked about the game — having the focus stay on football. We're here now and it's football time."

Homers help Cards to 8-0 victory
BY CHRIS JENKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIIWAUKEE—The way things are going for the Milwaukee Brewers right now, even Yadier Molina is a power hitter against them.
Molina hit two home runs and the Cardinals beat the Brewers 8-0 on Thursday, completing a three-game sweep and closing to within $2\frac{1}{2}$ games of the NL Central lead for the first time since April 20.
Darren Hauck/ASSOCIATED PRESS
INTERNET
St. Louis Cardinals Yadier Molina hits a home run against the Milwaukee Brewers in the second inning of Thursday's game in Milwaukee. Molina hit another home run in the fourth.
"I'm excited, because we want to have some of that contention fun over the last six weeks," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "And this gives us a better chance to have that fun."
It was the first career multihomer game for Molina, who came into Thursday's game with one home run this season. But afterward, the catcher preferred to talk about pitcher Adam Wainwright, whose seven scoreless innings of two-hit baseball included a baffling 3-2 curveball to Brewers rookie sensation Ryan Braun that ended a bases-loaded jam in the third inning.
"I've got confidence in him, because he's got a good curveball, he can throw it for strikes," Molina
said. "You can see it, it's obvious."
It wasn't so obvious to Braun, who thought he had seen ball four and turned to walk to first base before being called out — another misstep in a rough stretch for the sputtering Brewers.
The Cardinals outscored the Brewers 28-7 in the series, and Milwaukee now has lost 13 of its last 18 games. The Brewers remain in first place, but just by a half game after Chicago beat Cincinnati on Thursday.
"We still control our own destiny," Brewers manager Ned Yost said. "We have to find a way to play better."
Wainwright (11-9), in his first year as a starter after starring as a reliever during the Cardinals' World Series run last year, struck out a career-high eight while walking three.
Wainwright also got two stand-out plays from Scott Rolen at third base, both at the expense of Milwaukee's Bill Hall. Rolen made a full-extension diving grab of a hard-hit grounder and recovered to throw out Hall from a sitting position to end the second inning, then leapt to knock down a high chopper in
the fourth and recovered in time to throw Hall out the end of the first
"Yeah, that was silly," Wainwright said. "Both of them. But that first play. I don't know if I've ever seen a
play in the infield as great as that.
Ryan Franklin and Troy Percival finished off the four-hitter.
play in the infield as great as that."
Royals sign Moustakas just in time, literally
BY DOUG TUCKER
AP SPORTS WRITER
MLB
KANSAS CITY—Waking up Thursday as a brand new millionaire "feels pretty good," Mike Moustakas said.
But the No. 2 pick in the June draft thought that enrolling at Southern Cal with a baseball scholarship and no $4 million signing bonus from the Kansas City Royals would have been a hoot, too.
Maybe that explains why the top home run hitter in California high school history waited until 11 minutes before the deadline to make the decision that's going to change his life and possibly transform the sports landscape for an entire city.
"I was confident if the deal wasn't done, I'd be going to SC, and I was OK with that," Moustakas said. He said he would have been just as happy going to college as joining the Royals.
But the husky 6-foot shortstop who hit over .500 his senior year also sounded delighted to be taking the next step toward his lifelong dream of playing in the majors.
"It's been my dream since I was a kid," he said. "Now that it's finally come true, it's unbelievable. Now we've got one more goal to reach at this point. I'm just real excited about it."
Scott Boras, Moustakas' agent, said the final decision rested solely with the teenager.
"I will say this—Mike Moustakas makes the decision here," Boras said. "I think the Kansas City Royals should be very, very pleased over what type of player they have. It's rare you have a high school player who's as far along maturity-wise and talent-wise and has the skill level, the exhibitable skill level Mike has."
As the clock kept ticking, Royals executives sweated it out. They would have received the No. 3 pick in next year's draft as compensation for not getting Moustakas signed. But who's to say they could have signed whoever that turned out to be? And who's to say how much talent will even be available next year?

Price proud of players taken by MLB
Three sign with professional teams; pitchers improve during summer play
BY SHAWN SHROYER sshroyer@kansan.com
PITCHING STAFF SHAPING UP
With a young and occasionally erratic pitching staff last season, the Kansas staff headed into the summer looking for more experience and consistency. It may have found some in a pair of pitches who spent the summer playing together.
Coach Ritch Price will depend on junior left-handers Andy Marks and Nick Czyz to bolster the team's weekend rotation this coming season, and based on their performances over the summer. Price has nothing to worry about.
Both were teammates for the Duluth Huskies in Iowa. Marks finished the summer with a 7-3 record, a 1.83 earned run average,
83 strikeouts and
just 37 walks in

summer. He was named Pitcher of the Year up there in the Northwoods League. We need him to come back and be a big-time, Friday-night guy for us, in order for us to make a regional again." Price said. "Nick Czyz struggled a little bit with his
command early in the summer and found his rhythm as it went on."
Two other pitchers who teamed
Two other p up for the summer were junior Paul Smyth and Hiarall Garcia, who played together for the Kenai Peninsula Oilers of the Alaskan Baseball League.

Smyth, Kansas junior closer, led the Oilers with five saves and ended the summer with a 1-0 record and a 1.44 ERA. Garcia, a senior reliever, team the team with a 0.73 ERA and

Being the top pitcher in the Northwoods League was just a portion of the remarkable summer Marks had.
On July 12 he was selected to play in the Northwoods League All-Star game. Earlier this month he was the leading vote getter on the NLW Post-Season All-Star team. It was the second-straight summer he was selected as a postseason all-star.
Marks said he was honored, but even that wasn't the pinnacle of
Marks
1982
his summer. The highlight came on July 16 in the first game of a double-header in Brainerd, Minn.
That night Marks threw the first no-hitter in the Duluth
Huskies' team history, and just the seventh in the history of the Northwoods League while striking out 12 batters in the seven-inning game.
Although it wasn't the first no-hitter Marks had ever thrown, it was his first against collegiate counterparts. The competition Marks faced that night, coupled with the time he spent alone in the dugout, made the experience even more nerve-racking.
"Being in college, knowing that the competition is much greater, it just made it that much more
exciting. It was a really close game, so that made it that much more intense," Marks said. "The last two innings was when people started sitting at the other end of the dugout and ignoring me. That's actually when I started to get a little nervous and think about it."
JAYHAWKS IN THE DRAFT
Junior left-handed pitcher Zach Ashwood was the first Jayhawk to hear his name called during the draft, going in the 16th round to the Chicago Cubs. Senior outfielder Kyle Murphy followed in the 19th round, being selected by the Texas Rangers. Twenty-seven rounds later,

the Cleveland Indians drafted junior outfielder Brock Simpson. "It's a great statement about the progress we've made with our progress," Price said. "It's been rewarding."
POTTERMAN
Ashwood
Ashwood and Murphy signed professional contracts in June while Simpson waited until August, just days prior to the August 15 deadline for organizations to sign their draft picks.
Infielder Erik Morrison rounded out the draft for Kansas when the Pittsburgh Pirates selected him in the 49th round. Morrison was playing a round of golf when he received the news, but when he heard what round he went in, he didn't hesitate in choosing to stav in school.
"I think he thought, 'Well, we've got the 49th pick. We can waste it on him and if see maybe we can get
him to sign later in the summer." Morrison said of the Pirates representative who called to tell him he'd been drafted. "I told him 'No' immediately when he called me. It was almost disrespectful because I went in the 40th round out of high school. So I've got some unfinished business here. I've got some people to prove wrong."
ANDY MARKS Pitcher
Mortison said improving his draft stock for next June would be "the driving force" to motivate him for his senior season, but said he was also excited to have one last go-around with his Kansas teammates.
"Getting to play with my brothers for one last year - it couldn't be a better situation." Morrison said.
JAYHAWKS IN THE SHOW
"It pumps me up every day." Price said. "I turn on the TV at night and, watch those guys on the satellite dish. It's a great feeling to know that there's some Jayhawks who have reached the big leagues already."
While keeping track of his current players' progress this summer, Price also made sure to check up on some former Jayhawks now playing at the Maior League level.
Former Kansas baseball player, left-handed pitcher Tom Gorzelanny, has made the biggest splash this summer. As a member of the Pirates, he leads the club with 11 wins and a 3.29 ERA. He's also posted 100 strikeouts to only 44 walks and has a 1.23 WHIP, which is the average of walks plus hits per inning pitched.
Infielder Travis Metcalf, who played at Kansas from 2002-2004 and is the school's single season and career home run record holder, made his Major League debut on May 19 with the Rangers. He collected his first career hit in his fifth game on June 14. In 35 games, he's batting .230 with one home run, six

runs batted in and 11 runs.
Left-handed reliever Mike Zagurski, who played at Kansas from 2004-2005 and is the school's single season strikeout record holder, made his Major
League debut with the Philadelphia Phillies on May 25. In 23 appearances, Zagurski is 1-0 with a 4.58 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings pitched.
KANSAS TO PLAY CROATIAN NATIONAL TEAM
"We've never done that before, but the mayor of Kansas City called over here and asked if we'd be willing to do that, and we're certainly more than happy to help out," Price said. "I think our players are real excited about it, too."
On July 11 Kansas announced it would face the Croatian National Team this fall. The exhibition game is at 5 p.m. on Sept. 2 in Hoglund Ballpark.
The date of the game will catch the Jayhawks as they begin their fall season, but the game will serve as a final warm-up for the Croatian National Team before it goes to Spain for the European Baseball Championships that are taking place Sept. 5-16.
Price said he wasn't worried too much about scouting the Croatians, but he and pitching coach Ryan Graves have already mapped their rotation for the game, which will be played with wooden bats.
"We're going to pitch nine guys," Price said. "Coach Graves and I talked about that. It will only be like our second day of fall practice, so we're going to run nine guys out there."

Rams gear up for first game of the season
Hall anticipates playing in Sunday's game with new team
BY R.B. FALLSTROM AP SPORTS WRITER
Tom Gannam/ASSOCIATED PRESS
12
St. Louis Rams Dante Hall makes a one handed grab during a passing drill on the third day of football training camp on July 29 at the Rams training facility in St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS—Dante Hall is eager to play his first game with a new team, even if it is the preseason. But the veteran return man has his limits.
Hall, who missed the St. Louis Rams' preseason opener with a hamstring injury, said Thursday he's scheduled to play the first half on Saturday night against the San Diego Chargers. He
expects to play some at wide receiver in the second quarter.
"I've got my mom and son coming in for the first time, and it's going to be my first time playing for a new team, so there's going to be a lot of anxiety," Hall said. "I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be an exciting weekend all the way around."
"I've got my mom and son coming in for the first time,and it's going to be my first time playing for a new team."
Hall, who said he's 95 percent healed from the hamstring injury, doesn't figure to have such a high anticipation level the rest of the preseason. He believes it's two games too long.
"Two would be like perfect, ideal." Hall said "I would say two if I had to vote, but the owners have got to pocket that money, so I understand."
sit in the final preseason game.
DANTE HALL Rams return specialist
Another veteran, defensive tackle La'Roi Glover, also is expected to make his preseason debat against the Chargers. Glover missed the opener with a hip flexor injury but has practiced the last two days.
Like most teams, the Rams conserve veterans for the regular season even if they're healthy. The starters played sparingly in the opener and are likely to see increased time the next two games, and then most will
Coach Scott Linehan wants to see both on the field, although he'll exercise caution.
"I'd like to see them play enough to see that they're getting the snaps they're going to need to get
ready for the season," Linehan said. "You've got to be smart.
"I think Dante's really gotten a lot better with his hamstring, and we'll make sure Glover doesn't have any issues or soreness or setbacks."
The Rams are counting on Hall, acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs in April for a fifth-round draft pick, to revive a long dormant return game. The 28-year-old Hall has returned 11 kickoffs and punts

among a group of veterans on the line helping first-round pick Adam Carriker, the nose tackle, get up to speed.
"It's good to get out there, mostly from a timing standpoint working with James Hall and Adam."
Glover said. "We can get on the same page so during the season, I
can just nod and that'll be enough so that James will know what I want to do."
Notes: The Rams practiced indoors despite a break in the heat with the temperature at 90 rather than triple-digits as it had been for several days, with Linehan citing windy conditions. The team has closed workouts to the public for the rest of the summer... QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, fighting for the third-string job with Brock Berlin, has a cracked rib and will be a game-time decision. ...

Mother of slain Broncos player attends practice
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS
AP SPORTS WRITER
IRVING, Texas—The Denver Broncos surrounded the mother of slain cornerback Darrent Williams, then she broke the huddle after watching the team practice for the first time Thursday since her son's death.
"It was special for everyone involved," coach Mike Shanahan said.
Williams sat with family members on a shade-covered bleacher. When the 90-minute practice ended, veteran safety John Lynch came and got Williams, then escorted her to the team.
Rosalind Williams visited with several Broncos coaches and players at their hotel earlier Thursday. While reluctant at first, she then decided to attend the last of four practices over two days against the Dallas Cowboys—not far from her Fort Worth home.
"It was good for everyone,"
Lynch said. "I know it was difficult for them, and difficult for us. In the end, it's another step in the healing process."
Darrent Williams was slain on New Year's Day in Denver in a drive-by shooting that remains unsolved.
Shanahan embraced Rosalind Williams, then shared a few words with the players, who applauded. Williams then broke the huddle by leading the team's practice-ending chant.
"I know it was tough on her," Shanahan said. "Obviously coming out here, she wasn't really sure she could keep her emotions in check. She shared with me she was very happy she did."
At the NFLs request, Rosalind Williams taped a message that was shown to all 32 NFL teams this preseason during the league's annual player safety meetings. She said her message was: "Never think you're too safe. Always be careful of your surroundings and be aware of your surroundings"

Chiefs lack impact players
Trent Green haunts Arrowhead helping the Dolphins beat Kansas City, Chiefs tumble to 0-2 in preseason warm-ups

(Above) Kansas City Chief's defensive lineman Jared Allen, left, wraps up Miami Dolphins running back Jesse Chatman on play in the first quarter.

KANSAS CITY—Patrick Cobbs scored on a 7-yard run and John Beck slipped into the end zone for the 2-point conversion with 4:30 left, leading Miami past Kansas City 11-10 Thursday night and making the Dolphins 2-0 in preseason games for the first time since 1982.
Beck, the third Miami quarterback to appear in the sloppily played game, hit Kerry Reed for 17 yards and Courtney Anderson for 25 in a seven-play, 73-yard scoring drive.
Trent Green, whose 87.3 passer rating the past six seasons is the best in Chiefs history, played the first two series for the Dolphins in a much-awaited return to Arrowhead Stadium and was 4-for-7 for 41 yards. He led one smart drive that failed when Jared Allen stopped Jesse Chatman for a 1-yard loss on fourth-and-goal
KC
from the 3.
Kansas City threw the challenge flag after Beck leened across the goal line, but the ruling held up, leaving Kansas City 0-2 in the exhibition season and looking
very much in need of Larry Johnson, its Pro Bowl running back who's held out all summer in a contract dispute. The Chiefs rushed for only 61 yards.
Brodie Croyle, bidding to take Green's old job, hit his first four passes and led the Chiefs to their only offensive touchdown in two preseason games, but also threw an ill-advised interception.
Damon Huard, the veteran back-up Coyle is competing with, was 3-for-5 for only 26 yards as the Chiefs stalled for the second straight game without Johnson.
Croyle, known for his rifle arm but sometimes-poor decisions, atoned for a miserable performance in the Chiefs' first exhibition outing when he engineered an eight-play, 70-yard touchdown march, capped by a 21-yard touchdown pass to Chris Hannon in the second quarter.
But a few minutes later, showing the inexperience of a second-year pro who played only briefly as a rookie, Croyle threw a terrible pass off his back foot that was intercepted in the end zone by Michael Lehan.
Croyle was 6-for-11 for 82 yards.
There were a few scattered boos when Green took the field for Miami's first series. But the reception for the Chiefs starting quarterback of the past six seasons was mostly respectful, especially when he took his new team 65 yards down the field on its second possession to set up an first- goal from the 10.
Miami's retooled offensive line, a
big worry all during training camp, opened hole after hole for Ronnie Brown, who had gains of 12 and 10 yards to get the drive started. After a false start penalty created a second-and-15 from the Kansas City 35, Brown broke loose for 6 yards and then Green hit tight end David Martin over the middle for 19 yards to the 10.
The Dolphins' only score of the first half came with Cleo Lemon under center. He hit Chris Chambers for 12 yards on third-and-3 from the 46, and then Brown broke through a big hole in the middle of the line for 22 yards, with Ty Law pulling him down on the 16 to prevent the touchdown. After Brown was stopped for no gain on third down, Jay Feely kicked a 30-yard field goal on the second play of the second quarter.
Another huge headache that appeared for the Chiefs is at place kicker. Rookie Justin Medlock, drafted in the fifth round and handed the job when incumbent Lawrence Tynes was let go, missed from 37 and 42 yards before finally connecting on his third try, a 34-yarder that put the Chiefs on top 10-3 with 8:18 to go.
With no other kicker on the team, the Chiefs may be on the phone Friday looking for unemployed kickers to at least provide some competition for the UCLA product.
Abraham Wright, a rookie linebacker for Miami, was carted off the field with what was described as cramps in both legs with 8 seconds to play.

Williams Fund points system allows season ticket holders to choose Fieldhouse seats
tnystrom@kansan.com
BY THOR NYSTROM
tnystrom@kansan.com
The Select-a-Seat draft was conducted last week in the Booth Hall of Allen Fieldhouse. The Select-a-Seat program was created by the Athletic Department during the 2004-2005 academic year. It is a system where donors are given points for the money they donate to the Williams Educational Fund, and extra
points based on their relationship with the University.
The season ticket holders with the most points began choosing seats for the upcoming basketball season at 10 a.m. Aug. 13. Every 10 minutes, a new group would show up and select from the remaining seats. The draft went until 8:30 every night and ended Aug. 16.
The Williams Educational Fund is made up of alumni and fans of Kansas
Athletics. It is comprised of more than 4,200 members, and benefits more than 550 student-athletes.
Instituting the Select-a-Seat program based on points from the Williams Fund has been a financial windfall for the Athletic department. Before the points system went into effect, the Williams Fund grossed about $5 million annually, according to Jim Marchionny, associate athlete director. That number has
increased to more than $11 million annually.
This year will bring change to the Select-a-Seat process. Seat selection will now take place every other year, instead of annually. Because of this, season ticket holders will have the seats they select in 2007 for two years.
According to the Athletic Department's

Satellite office tabled for now
The Parking Department is putting plans for a satellite office in the Kansas Union on hold because new online services have led to fewer students purchasing parking permits and bus passes in the department.
FULL STORY ON 3A
Hultine credits the shorter lines to the extended time that students have to buy parking permits online. This is the first year that students can purchase permits online until Aug. 31. The previous deadline was July 31.
Donna Hultine, parking director, said that last week the line to purchase permits never went beyond the department's lobby. She said that this is different than previous years and that the change has made her question whether a satellite office is necessary.
KU Student Health Services is celebrating more than 100 years of service with a contest that gives students a chance to decorate a blank Jayhawk statue. The design must meet the themes: "KU Student Health Services: Celebrating a Century of Caring."
Contest lets students create Jayhawk statue
The winner will be in charge of the whole project, from design to installation. Student Health Services will give the winning designer a $500 stipend and a plaque on the statue will feature the artist's name. The statue will be displayed in the lobby of Watkins Memorial Health Center., to remind all who enter of Watkins' dedication to the students at the University of Kansas.

Spotlight on Organizations
BY RACHEL BURTON
Long before Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, Environs, an environmental group at the University of Kansas, began spreading the word about the negative effects global climate change could have on the earth.
editor@kansan.com
"Everyone is recognizing the global climate change now, and people from students to business leaders
Environs
are becoming aware of these issues and recognizing the need to take action." said Brian Sifton, president of Environs.
It seems that global climate change and other environmental issues are on everyone's mind these days. It's a topic that has become hard to avoid with almost every media outlet telling us how we can be more "green."
Environs has been focused on these issues for the last 22 years. The group was founded in 1985 by environmental studies students as a way for environmental studies majors to connect and do research with their peers.
However after the creators of Environs found that many students in other disciplines were interested in environmental advocacy. Environs was soon open to everyone.
Environs has accomplished a lot since the group was created. In 1988, they started a recycling program on campus. Students worked with facility operations to put bins in several buildings on campus, and student volunteers collected the recycled materials one to two times a week.
The program was so successful, that after one semester, the University took over management of the program, although it remains student funded.
Last year, when the office of the
provost was deciding whether or not to build a center for sustainability on campus, Environs took action and gathered 1500 student signatures in only a few days time, proving that the center was something that students really wanted, and convinced the provost to build the center.
This year Enviros has already planned several social activities. Some possible upcoming events include camping trips, potluck dinners, and a Mexican food night.
Environs meets twice a month on Mondays. The first meeting of the fall semester is today at 6PM in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
For more information on Environs, email Brian Sifton at bsifton@ku.edu or Ashton Martin at ksclimber@gmail.com.
SALUTE
57-year-old to skydive in honor of her son's service
THOMAS TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Tina Peters wanted to do something special as a salute to her son's service to his country as he heads back to Iraq for a second tour, so she's going to jump out of an airplane.
The thing is, the 57-year-old woman has never done that before.

GUITAR
His older brother, Ray Peters, 32, plans to skydive with their mother Sunday in a "Jumping for Jason" event at Browne Airport in Saginaw County.
"My mom's crazy," said Air Force Staff Sgt. Jason Peters, 31. "I'll be sitting back with the insurance agent, watching."
Tina Peters said she wasn't nervous about the jump.
Air guitarist Ryan "Stryker" Strecker competes in the US Air Guitar National Finals at The Fillmore Thursday, Aug. 16, 2007 in New York. Andrew "William Ocean" Litz went on to win and will represent the United States at the Air Guitar World Championship in Olou, Finland in September.
"One of us will scream like a little girl, and it's not gonna be me," she told The Saginaw News.
Jason DeCrow/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jason Peters, like his mother, has never jumped out of a plane, but unlike her he has no plans to do so.
Jason Peters, a member of the 75th Logistics Readiness Squadron, is scheduled to be deployed next week for about 10 months.

"I'm not looking forward to going back, but I'm not crazy enough to jump out of a plane," he said.
ACCIDENT
Elderly woman becomes trapped inside bank
LAGUNA WOODS, Calif.
— A 73-year-old woman became trapped in a bank when employees accidentally locked her in the building while she was looking over the contents of a safe deposit box.
Marian Prescher, who has diabetes, apparently passed out during the ordeal because she had not taken her medication with her. A cleaning person discovered her six hours later.
Prescher visited the Bank of
America branch Wednesday and was given use of a privacy room to examine her valuables. Employees left her in the room when they closed the bank at about 6 p.m.
"They forgot she was there," sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said.
Bank of America said it was investigating.
Prescher said she knew nothing about what happened until she awoke at the hospital where she was treated and released.
Shortly after midnight, deputies received a call from a cleaning person who discovered the woman. Prescher was unconscious and cold to the touch when authorities arrived.
"She may have died." Amormino said. "It just seems to be a terrible oversight."

"I just couldn't believe it, that they would leave me in there," she said.

DOLE CENTER Chancellor names temporary director
In a press release Friday, Chancellor Robert Hemeway announced that Jonathan Earle, associate professor of history, as the new interim director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Earle took the place of Bill Lacy, who took a leave of absence to direct former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson's exploratory presidential campaign committee.
Earle joined the Dole Institute in 2003 as the associate director of academic programming. He organized events and academic programs that got University students interested in politics. Earle was very involved in the organization of the Dole Lecture by former President Bill Clinton in 2004.
"In Jonathan, the Dole Institute is in exceptionally capable hands?" Hemenway said in the press release. "As a scholar and an award winning teacher, Jonathan has taken his classroom expertise to create engaging and entertaining programs at the institute.
Earle is an associate professor of history, and served as a visiting chair in U.S. history at Occidental Collegue in Los Angeles last year. He authored several books and was named one of eight top young historians by the History News Network. Earle has won numerous awards including, the 2005 Broussard prize by the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic, co-winner of the 2005 Byron Caldwell Smith Book Prize for best book authored by a Kansan, and W.T. Kemper Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching in 2003.

Parking department puts satellite office on standby
BY ERIN SOMMER

The Parking Department put on hold plans for a satellite office in the Kansas Union because of new online services that allow students to avoid a trip to the department.
OLDS.
Donna Hultine, parking director, said that the recently added services, such as more time to purchase parking permits online, have made her question whether a satellite office
is necessary.
Felicia Alvarado, Salina Sophomore, waits to buy a temporary parking pass from Amy Price, administrative assistant with the KU Parking Department, Friday afternoon. Long lines are common in the parking department during the beginning of the semester. The KU Parking Department was considering opening a satellite parking department in the Kansas Union.
"I'm not sure I can justify the expense if I'm allowing students to do what they need to from their own computer," Hultine said.
Hultine said that last week the line outside

that the Student Senate originally supported the initiative for a satellite office in the Union, but said that he and other student senators respected the department's wish to hold off on the additional office.
"At this time, if they don't see the need, we'll respect that and help them focus on other issues," Wittlinger said.
Hultine said that the office
would cost about $40,000 for renovations, plus rent. She said that the cost probably wouldn't cause
an increase in students' parking and transit costs.
Hultine also said that she
was still considering putting in the office, but that she would wait and see whether the online

dsands@kansan.com
In celebration of its centennial, Student Health Services is sponsoring a contest that gives students the chance to decorate a
Jayhawk. Participants will design a five-foot tall fiberglass statue of the famous mascot. Similar statues can be found on campus, such as the Kansas Memorial Union and at the Jayhawk Bookstore.
Students can submit their
designs for the Jayhawk that fit, the contest's theme: "KU Student Health Services: Celebrating a Century of Caring."
The winner will receive $250 and will be in charge of the entire project from, design to
installation.
Once the statue is installed, the winner will receive an additional $250. The statue will have a permanent plaque at its base that names the artist.
Seth Ramsey, Glenrock, Wyo.,

Rapper ordered to visit schools
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Method Man is going back to school.
As part of a plea deal reached following a marijuana arrest earlier this year, the hip-hop star was ordered to visit 15 city high schools to warn students about the dangers of drugs.
The former Wu-Tang Clan member, whose real name is Clifford Smith, "is thrilled to do it," defense attorney Peter Frankel said Friday. "He's never been in trouble before. He's not a stereotypical rapper."
Smith, 36, was arrested on May 17 after toll-booth workers on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel reported smelling marijuana smoke coming from his sport utility vehicle. He was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and drug possession after police said they found marijuana inside the SUV.
Prosecutors knocked the drug charges down to disorderly conduct as part of the plea deal.

Senator to appear in Batman movie
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Holy Beltway, Batman! Sen.
Patrick Leahy has a part in the next Batman movie.
"I don't wear tights," the Vermont Democrat said.
Leahy's scene was filmed this summer for "The Dark Knight" and involves Batman, played by Christian Bale, The Joker, played by Heath Ledger, and Alfred Pennyworth, played by Michael Caine.
The longtime Batman fan would reveal little about his role other than he is called the "distinguished gentleman."
"It's a pretty tense scene," said Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. "It's going to be a very interesting one."
He's done voice-overs on Batman cartoons, written the preface for a Batman book and had small roles in the last two Batman features.
He said he will donate his earnings from the film to the Kellogg-Hubbard children's library in Montpelier, where the senator got his first ever library card.

FRUIT FOR THOUGHT
Suffering from 'manorexia,' thin men feel pressure In a time when people are increasingly weight-conscious, tact goes both wavs
MATT HIRSCHFELD
Every time I see actress/comedian/self-styled activist Mo'Nique on one of her programs, she seems to feel the urge to slip in some comment on how "bigger girls" (her jargon, not mine) somehow have "more love to give" because of their size. It is great to be comfortable enough in your own skin to love yourself, regardless of size; it's not great, however, to promote the idea that one's body type determines his or her capacity to love, or to feel any other feeling for that matter.
I'm not talking about every body type out there; I want to
focus on one in particular. It's the body type of those men who have a hard time finding a decent shirt to fit, because nowadays clothing seems equipped with extra fabric in the mid-section for those expected beer bellies or love handles.
It's the body type of those men who can eat a "Baconater" Extra Value Meal at Wendy's and shed off the poundage just by thinking about it. And finally, it's the body type of those men who are tired of being ridiculed just because they are skinnier than the average Tom and Dick. These men suffer from what is known as manorexia.
The term "manorexia" is not entirely used correctly, though. These men can eat what they want with a healthy exercise routine and maintain a manageable weight. An extra pound or two is not going to send them into catatonic shock or anything
of the sort.
I fail to see the reasoning in how skinny people can be less capable of any feeling because of how far their gut protrudes. The only feeling I could see them lacking is that nauseous feeling some people get after walking up "The Hill" because they are more in shape than most of society.
How dare M'o'nique promote that heinous idea. If a person of smaller size comments on a "bigger person's" weight, he or she is immediately deemed as rude, a chauvinist or, what have you. However, if a person of larger size remarks on a "smaller person's" weight, it is perfectly socially acceptable.
The remarks aren't necessarily mean-spirited, but it makes me wonder if their foot fell out of their mouth just before they spoke. Hearing "Oh my God, don't you ever eat?" can be daunting considering it now
seems to be a sin to look in the mirror and be comfortable with yourself even if there is not much to look at.
Yes, manorexics eat. And sleep, and study, and party, and are just as self-conscience as the rest of the diet-obsessed weight watchers out there. They just have a little more ease of mind because it's easier for them to keep the weight off.
You cannot look in a magazine, flip through a newspaper or turn on a television without being bombarded with ads for diet pills, stories about America's weight problems and pictures of super-skinny celebs. Manorexics have successfully avoided all of the former, so please, get off their backs, because you're too heavy.

Vick case requires impartiality
Before rushing to judgment of the NFL player, wait for facts to emerge
chandise on sale because of everything that's happened?" As a cashier at Dick's Sporting Goods, I was asked plenty of ridiculous questions, but when I heard this one I sat in silence with my mouth open and the receiving end of the phone pushed to my ear. After a few more seconds of silence, I asked him to hold on while I transferred him to a manager.
So are you guys gonna like, put your Michael Vick mer-
Having to watch eight hours of ESPN a day at my register enabled me to learn more about Vick than I ever really cared to. However, I was able to draw some fairly sensible conclusions from the mess the media was creating about the Atlanta quarterback. Taking away his endorsements is wrong. As you may already know, Nike halted its endorsement deals with Vick indefinitely, while Reebok has taken all of Vick's replica jerseys out of retail stores and off of its Web site. ESPN and MSNBC say that both Reebok and Nike were facing pressure from animal rights protesters.
The public eye is certainly very important to Nike, but I never expected them to be pushed around so easily by animal rights protesters. If you want to be the judge and jury in your mind and believe this man is guilty, then do not buy his jersey. Taking away his big money endorsements before proof is presented in court, however, is a drastic and unnecessary step.
Tyler Botts, Wichita sophomore, feels similarly about the current treatment of Vick.
"The only reason he's getting treated like this is because he's famous. I think they need to take care of the problem, but they're treating him like he's guilty before even going to trial. They're making too big of a deal out of everything."
JOE GARVEY
The man is still innocent until convicted guilty in a court of law. It does not matter which obscure friend from Vick's high school days points the finger at him. The law says we need evidence.
I am worried that Vick will not receive a fair trial because of the events leading to his court date. I am also worried that most of the press is giving in to activists' pressure too easily.
Hearing about the animal cruelty allegations against Vick upset me. The dogs were subjected to starvation, severe beating, drowning and electrocution. Whoever is responsible should not just be considered dangerous to animals, but to people as well. Someone with a lack of empathy this severe is dangerous to all society. If responsible, Vick should be justly punished. For now, we must assume he is not.
So before you throw him to the dogs, remember that an indictment is not a conviction.

Web site, the plan was implemented because of the low rate of turnover. Last year, the renewal rate was about 90 percent. If renewal rates fall below 60 percent on an even year, Select-a-Seat will return to an annual basis until renewal rates return to 80 to 90 percent.
Marchiony said that similar systems are in place in athletic departments around the country.
"We needed to raise money," Marchiony said. "This was a way to raise it that give benefits to those that donated not only to athletics but who had a history of donating to athletics."
Louise Ecord, development associate with the Williams Fund and Jennifer Berquist, associate director of the Williams Fund, worked
the week as moderators of the draft process. Both started working for the Williams Fund before the creation of Select-a-Seat.
"It wasn't initially easy to make some of the calls asking for donations," Ecord said. "But in college sports today, you have to have the resources to compete. You need to have facilities to keep up."
Ecord said that despite the busy week, which only had 20-minute lunch and dinner breaks between the non-stop flow of ticket holders, the process went off without a hitch.

Select-a-Seat donor point system
While most points are earned by donating money, the Athletic Department's Web site lists many ways to accumulate them
1 point per account for every $100 donated to KU Athletics beginning July 1, 1978.
2 points per account per sport, per year, for purchasing non-football season tickets, beginning fall of 1984.
1 point per account for every football season ticket purchased per year since fall 1984.
5 points per full-priced reserved football season ticket purchased up to four (20 points), 1 point for every ticket thereafter (began 2004
season).
2 points per account for every year of donating to the Williams Educational Fund since 1978.
1 point for every year of employment with the University of Kansas
10 points if attended the University of Kansas.
10 points per account if member of Chancellor's Club.
10 points per account if member of KU Alumni Association.
10 points if member of K- Club.

Two firefighters die in NY blaze
BYVERENA DOBNIK ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A blaze that killed two firefighters in an abandoned skyscraper being dismantled next to the World Trade Center may have been harder to combat because of plastics required by a federal agency to control asbestos, the governor said Sunday.
The blaze broke out Saturday on the 17th floor of the former Deutsche Bank office building, which has been a toxic site since it was damaged by falling wreckage when the trade center's twin towers collapsed and contaminated by toxic dust.
During demolition work, the federal Environmental Protection
Agency had required that polyurethane sheets be used to prevent asbestos and other harmful debris from escaping. Gov. Eliot Spitzer said at a news conference.
The polyurethane "may in fact have made this fire harder to fight", Spitzer said.
Questions about other complications also were emerging on Sunday, including why the partially gutted building's water supply did not work, forcing firefighters to run hoses up to the 17th floor.
"The standpipe was not operating. We don't know why yet," fire department spokesman Frank Gribbon said.
Spitzer said the latest air-quality tests for asbestos and other fine particulate matter had been negative.

》ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Scott Haun, Lenexa graduate student, calls a KU men's basketball season-ticket holder who failed to show up for the season ticket seating draft Thursday evening in Allen Fieldhouse. Some people were upset this year because of how season ticket sales were handled.
Cheering on Jayhawk basketball in person soon might be just a fond memory for students after they graduate, when time is no longer the currency used to acquire premium seats.
The relationship between the Select-a-Seat program and the Williams Educational Fund has created a sort of bidding war between fans for the best seats in Allen Fieldhouse.
Critics say that the new system has forced some longtime season ticket holders from their seats because they cannot donate enough money to the Williams Educational Fund.
Joe and Pat Hirt, of Lake Quivira, have only nine points in the current system. They came to Lawrence on Thursday to select their seats as
ous year.
part of the second-to-last group. The Hirts said that they have problems with a ticket system where cash can outweigh loyalty.
"I think they had a great deal for 20 or 30 years," Marchiony said of former season ticket holders. "While we certainly appreciate that loyalty, there are fans that have been just as loyal who have not had access to those seats for 20 or 30 years but have been willing to donate money. Those people are just as loyal and passionate about Kansas athletics as the folks that had those seats for 20 or 30 years."
"My son-in-law's aunt had been a season ticket holder for 30 years, and she got squeezed out by the new system," Joe Hirt said. "I know she wasn't happy. If you've been here, to have someone else come in and just essentially buy your tickets, I don't think that is right. I think it's hard to push people out who have supported this University for years, and I think that is the wrong image to covey as a University, that the rich get their choice of tickets."
cash donations. Fans receive one point for every $100 they donate.
The University's system offers points for longtime season ticket holders in football and basketball, and for those who have donated to the Williams Fund in past years. Detractors think that these bonus points pale in comparison to the point fans can earn through large
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said that other athletic departments around the country implement a similar system.
"We needed to raise money," Marchiony said. "Our system was designed that way so that Kansas athletics didn't put a particular price on a seat. It is strictly based on how much people want to give, and it is an absolutely fair process."
Raising money is certainly no longer a problem for the Athletics Department. Prior to 2004, when the points system went into effect, the Williams Fund grossed about $5 million each year. With the incentive for season ticket holders to accrue points, that number has increased to more than $11 million annually.
Before 2004, season ticket holders were given the same seats if they renewed their tickets from the previ-
The Hirts began purchasing season tickets last year so that they could spend time with their daughter, Rock Chalk dancer Annie Hirt. They said that they don't mind the system in their specific situation and that they understand why, as new season ticket holders, they have more limited seat options than long-time ticket holders.

Flood ravages upper Midwest, claims four lives
Part of Winona and smaller
towns in southeastern Minnesota and southwestern Wisconsin were evacuated, officials reported.

Houston County authorities were investigating reports of two additional fatalities, one near Houston and one near La Crescent, and Winona County authorities were looking for three people reported missing.
National Guard Capt. Paul Rickert of the National Guard says 88 soldiers and two helicopters were sent to Winona to help with security around the small cities of Elba, Stockton, and Pickwick. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty visited the area Sunday and declared a state of emergency in six counties.
Across the Mississippi in Wisconsin, up to 12 inches of rain triggered a mudslide that pushed a house onto state Highway 35 in Vernon County, said Wisconsin Emergency Management spokeswoman Lori Getter. No injuries were reported.
"They've been pulling people out of stalled cars, and evacuating them out of their homes," Getter said, adding that the Wisconsin National Guard was placed on standby.
The Pine Valley West apartment complex in Wisconsin's Richland County was evacuated as a precaution, with 10 of them taken to the Pine Valley Health and Rehabilitation, a nursing home, said Donna Gilson, a spokeswoman at emergency management's Madison headquarters. Emergency management officials initially said 18 nursing home residents were evacuated; Gilson said confusion resulted from the similarity of names.
Numerous roads and bridges were washed out or closed in both states Sunday and several towns were evacuated, officials said.
Nearly 80 people living near small dams in Vernon County were evacuated, Getter said.
"In our situation we've evacuated the city of Stockton, which is probably the hardest hit," Reinert said in Minnesota. Other small cities were also evacuated as well as low-lying portions of Winona, he said.

》 HURRICANE DEAN
Hurricane mars Jamaica, residents refuse to leave
Dean predicted to reach Category 5 by mainland
BY HOWARD CAMPBELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Hurricane Dean pummeled Jamaica with gusting winds and torrential rains Sunday after the prime minister made a last-minute plea for residents to abandon their homes and for shelter. Many residents ignored the call, however, while tourists holed up in resorts with hurricane-proof walls.
T
late Saturday.
The storm, which had already killed eight people on its destructive march across the Caribbean, triggered evacuation calls from the Cayman Islands to Texas, and forced the Space Shuttle to cut short its mission. Cruise ships changed course to avoid Dean, but some tourists in Jamaica could not get away before the island closed its airports
Hurricane-force winds began lashing Jamaica on Sunday afternoon, said meteorologist Rebecca Waddington at the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Forecasters said Jamaica would take a near-direct hit with Dean's eye passing just to the south later Sunday night.

tained winds of 160 mph before crashing into the Cayman Islands on Monday and Mexico's Yucatan peninsula after that. The Mexican mainland or Texas could be hit later.
The government set up more than 1,000 shelters in converted schools, churches and the indoor national sports arena. Authorities urged people to take cover from the storm, which had maximum sustained winds of 145 mph and was expected to dump up to 20 inches of rain on the island.
The National Hurricane Center said the first hurricane of the Atlantic season was projected to reach the most dangerous classification, Category 5, with sus-
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In Galveston, Texas, residents remembered the 2005 Hurricane Rita evacuation when motorists from the coast ran into residents fleeing Houston, clogging evacuation routes for miles. Officials said they worked out the kinks in the system, but many Galveston residents remain skeptical.
In the Cayman Islands, authorities ordered tourists to board shuttle buses for the airport. Hundreds of frantic vacationers lined up at ticket counters for special flights home, and many slept on the airport floor. Cayman Islands Gov. Stuart Jack said all but 1,500 tourists were evacuated from the British
territory by Sunday afternoon.
In Mexico, tourists also streamed out of resorts on Yucatan peninsula and formed long lines at the airport to try to fly home. Twelve empty planes arrived Sunday to move travelers out, said airport spokesman Eduardo Rivadeneira. The state government set up 530 shelters with a capacity of 73,000 people.

》 HURRICANE DEAN
Southern Texas preparing for storm despite uncertainty
BY MONICA RHOR ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Even with powerful Hurricane Dean days away and its path uncertain, officials in sadden south Texas left little to chance Sunday, ready planes, gasoline and hundreds of buses to get residents out in a hurry.
Authorities passed out sandbags, evacuated inmates and opened emergency operations centers in a region still soaked
from the remnants of Tropical Storm Erin, which caused severe flooding and at least one death Sunday in Oklahoma.
"We're preparing for Hurricane Dean just as if it is going to be direct hit," said Johnny Cavazos, the chief emergency director for Cameron County at the state's southernmost tip.
A state of emergency was declared in the resort town of South Padre Island. About 3,300 jail and prison inmates in the area were to be bused to correctional facilities elsewhere by Sunday night.
In Washington, R. David Paulison, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said up to 100,000 people might have to be evacuated from the state's southeastern coast and its immigrant shantytowns near the Mexican border. The storm is on course for northern Mexico, but could shift and hit the region around Brownsville, Texas, Paulison said.
In Oklahoma, what was left
of Erin flooded homes and roads and blacked out thousands of customers, mostly in the Oklahoma City area. One drowning was blamed on the flooding and a motorist was missing, local and state officials said.
The level of preparation for Dean was influenced by memories of two destructive hurricanes that hammered the Gulf Coast region in 2005.
"In part, it is because of the unfortunate events from Rita and Katrina," Cavazos said.
During Rita, the evacuation quickly turned into a nightmare of clogged highways, stalled traffic and sweltering heat, as motorists from the coast ran into residents fleeing Houston. Gas stations ran out of fuel and supplies, and drivers sat for hours on gridlocked evacuation routes.
Dean was a Category Four storm Sunday, threatening to pour as much as 20 inches of rain on Jamaica. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said it was projected to reach the
most dangerous hurricane classification, Category 5, with wind of 160 mph before crashing into the Mexican coastline near Cancun on Monday night or Tuesday.
The storm was forecast to make landfall Wednesday, likely somewhere along the coast of northern Mexican or southern Texas, the hurricane center said.
Even if Mexico gets the brunt of the storm, Texas could still get soaked by Dean's outer bands of heavy rain, Cavazos said.

Harrington said she got involved because the race for safe drinking water could be won. She said the run wasn't about finding the solution; it was about funding the solution. She said that, unlike with other world issues such as AIDS and cancer, the technology to provide safe drinking water already existed.
He said he was walking near a lake that supplied water for his community just north of San Francisco when two runners passed in front of him. He said seeing the runners with the lake in the background inspired him.
Jin Zidell, founder of the Blue Planet Run, said he thought of the idea in December 2001.
Harrington said she had seen both sides during her run.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.1 billion people worldwide don't have access to safe drinking water. It also estimated that diarrhea killed more children in the past decade than all of the people who had died in armed
"I saw the contrast between the places that don't have safe drinking water and the places with the capacity to donate," Harrington said.
"At that moment the words 'run around the world for safe drinking water' flashed through my mind." Zidell said. "I have traveled a lot in the world, and I have seen a lot of situations. All those factors came together. It was an inspiration. I started educating myself about the issue and looking into what it would take to make it happen."
Zidell said so far the Blue Planet Run Foundation had funded 135 water projects providing safe drinking water for 100,000 people. The Foundation holds a run approximately every two years.
This year, the Run began on June 1, in New York City and will travel through 16 countries before ending back in New York City on Sept. 4. More information can be found at blueplanetrun.org.
LOS ANGELES — An illegal immigrant who sought sanctuary in a Chicago church for a year to avoid deportation and separation from her 8-year-old American son was arrested Sunday, the church's pastor said.
Edited by Matt Erickson
Elvira Arellano was arrested before 3 p.m. outside Our Lady Queen of Angels church on Los Angeles' historic Olvera Street where she was speaking to reporters, said the Rev. Walter Coleman, pastor of Alad伯塔 United Methodist Church in Chicago where she sought sanctuary.

IMMIGRATION
It was unclear what law enforcement agency had taken Arellano into custody.
Coleman said he was with Arellano when she was detained, but declined to provide other details.
BY PETER PRENGAMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
A call to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was not immediately returned.
"We're trying to determine her situation right now," he said.
The 32-year-old Arellano arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday, leaving her sanctuary for the first time in a
year to campaign for immigration reform.
Arellano has become a symbol of the struggles of illegal immigrant parents and a source of controversy. She said Saturday she was not afraid of being taken into custody by immigration agents.
"From the time I took sanctuary the possibility has existed that they arrest me in the place and time they want," she said in Spanish. "I only have two choices. I either go to my country, Mexico, or stay and keep fighting. I decided to stay and fight."
Arellano came to Washington state illegally in 1997. She was deported to Mexico shortly after, but returned and moved to Illinois in 2000, taking a job cleaning planes at O'Hare International Airport.
She was arrested in 2002 at O'Hare and later convicted of working under a false Social Security number. She was to surrender to authorities last August.
She sought refuge at the storefront church on Chicago's west side Aug. 15, 2006. She did not leave the church property until deciding to be driven to Los Angeles, Coleman said.

Senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart and freshman outside hitter Karina Garlington go up for a block during the Kansas volleyball alumni game Saturday night at Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Kansas defeated the alumni in all three matches.
BY RUSTIN DODD
rdodd@kansan.com
Natalie Uhart wasn't tentative. The Lansmg junior wasn't nervous either.
Even though Uhart suffered a season ending knee injury during last year's annual volleyball alumni match, and Saturday brought the one-year anniversary of that fateful night, Uhart was feeling something quite a bit different.
"It was relief." Uhart said.
She was back on the floor, surgically repaired knee and all, as Kansas defeated a team of Kansas volleyball alumni 3-0 (31-29, 30-27, 30-28).
The key for Uhart was to not think about last year's injury, and Coach Ray Bechard echoed those words.
"We tried not to bring it un." Bechard said.
Bechard was more concerned about the play of Uhart and the rest of his team.
"I thought she got better as the night went along." Bechard said, referring to Uhart.
Uhart finished the match with seven kills
and a tipped ball that fell in and clinched the second game of the match, 30-27, for Kansas. Uhart also looked impressive playing along side senior Emily Brown. Brown led the team with eleven kills and finished with 20 assists. Sophomore Brittany Williams had eight kills, including a few highlight reel worthy smashes. Sophomore Katie Martinicch also filled up the stat sheet with 21 assists and 14 digs.
Kansas played well in pressure situations winning each game by a small margin at the end.
"Big points, we were good," Bechard said.
Kansas also showed the ability to come back from a deficit, falling behind early in the third and final game 14-11 before rolling off four consecutive points to take a 15-14 lead.
Bechard also noticed a few negatives. He said he thought his team had too many service errors and too many receiving errors, but that those are areas that can be improved in practice.

Granted, you have to get past his charm, his hazardous driving habits on four-wheelers and his uncanny knack for air-humping field goals off target, but once you do, you have to think about the logic behind Kansas City Chiefs mascot KC Wolf.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Just take a trip west on I-70.
Steely McBeam is the Pittsburgh Steelers' new mascot. His chiseled jaw was inspired by former coach Bill Cowher.
Far be it from me to question how many wolves actually inhabit the metro, in all my travels across I-70, up I-35 and around I-435, the only one I've seen wears red and yellow zebra-striped sweatpants.
Now, if the Chiefs were to change their mascot to something more representative of their moniker, the NFL would have something going. If Kansas City actually had a chief for a mascot, he could team up with Steely and the Dallas Cowboys mascot, Rowdy, to reunite half of the Village People.
As for KC Wolf's neighbor, Slugger; While I question the quality of the hotdogs he fires into the stands, and how he developed such bulging biceps naturally, he's one of the few things the Royals have gotten right the last 15 years.

Mangino names starter Todd Reesing to take season's opening snap
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
QUARTERBACKS
Todd Reesing is Kansas' starting quarterback.
In a decision made public Saturday,
in a decision made Mangino announced Reesing as the 2007 starter, confirming the suspicions of media and fans.
Reesing, a sophomore, played in only three games as a freshman and threw only 24 passes. But the Austin,
COLUMBIA
Reesing
Texas, native made a positive impression on the coaching staff in preseason camp. His competitor, sophomore Kerry Meier, started eight games last season. Meier looked hobbled in preseason practices, although Mangino said injuries had no bearing on the competition for playing time.
"We are going with Todd Reeing," Mangino said in a press release. "He has done everything we have asked of him in this offense. He came here ready to go in two-a-days and has really got a good command of the offense."
Mangino stuck to his original plan by naming a starter two weeks before the Sept. 1 opener against Central Michigan. At media day the coach said he would notify the team of his decision well before the beginning of the season.
Reeing is largely untested as a passer, and questions about his ability to see over defensive linemen linger. But he showed deft improvisational skills in a victory against Colorado last season and has looked sharp in practice.
After Reesing worked solely with the first team at an open practice last week, media penciled him in as the unofficial starter. At that point Mangino did not make an official statement but said Reesing had performed well in early practices.
"Reesing has made some strides," Mangino said. "A lot of that has to do with him losing probably 20 pounds and gaining a lot more strength."
If Reesing cannot hold onto the starting job, Kansas can fall back on the most capable backup in the Big 12 Conference. Meier completed a Kansas freshman record 13 touchdowns in 2006. At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, Meier is big and fast enough to succeed if he can stay healthy.

BIG 12
Buffaloes gain experience
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
Colorado 0-6 start last season
was its worst in more than 25 years.
Things didn't get much better in Boulder, Colo., during the offseason. The only time the team made the headlines was when coach Dan Hawkins blew up at a press conference.
The cure for all of this turmoil is simply to win. And with 15 returning starters, that's something the Buffaloes feel capable of.
OFFENSE
Colorado hired coach Dan Hawkins last year. The team went 2-10 in its first season under Hawkins, and its offense was 11th in the Big 12. The Buffaloes hope Hawkins can help turn things around this season. Hawkins's son, redshirt freshman quarterback Cody Hawkins, is the

starter going into the season.
Last year's starting quarterback, Bernard Jackson is third on the depth chart now, but his athletic ability should be useful in the offense.
Colorado returns every receiver who caught a pass last season. Senior Alvin Barnett and junior Patrick Williams are the most experienced receivers.

have to do it behind an offensive line that loses three starters.
DEFENSE
The Buffaloos have a pair of outstanding defensive talents. Senior linebacker Jordon Dizon was second in the Big 12 last year with an average of more than 11 tackles a game. Senior cornerback Terrence Wheatley had five interceptions last year and can cover the Big 12's best receivers.
Junior Benjamin Burney is not as experienced but should start at cornerback opposite Wheately. The addition of Idaho transfer Daniel Dykes gives the Buffalooes depth at the safety position.
Junior outside linebacker Brad Jones was the Buffaloes' third leading tackler last season and can cover the pass well. Juniors George Hypolite and Brandon Nicolas will start at defensive tackle again. They combined for 14 tackles for losses last season. Dizon will be the leader of a defense that features both veterans and newbies.
SEASON OUTLOOK
Colorado opens the season with four tough non-conference games. The Buffaloes will be underdogs when they travel to Arizona State the second week of the season and again when they return home the following week to play Florida State.
Colorado will face Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Baylor from the Big 12 South. Preseason rankings consider Oklahoma one of the top 10 teams in the country, and Texas Tech remains an explosive offensive team.
Colorado plays 11 straight games before its bye week, which could cause problems if players are injured. Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska each travel to Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo., and Colorado will likely have to win at least one of those games to become bowl eligible.

The rowing team is preparing for the season by building on the skills of the returning women. The team had one of its best seasons last spring, placing 10th at the NCAA South-Central Regions.
Past success sets season's pace
BY BRYAN WHEELER
bwheeler@kansan.com
The Kansas rowing team is looking to improve from last season's success with the return of four members of the First Varsity Eight crew: Carrie Selden, Valerie Jackson, Lindsay Lawrence and Kara Boston, as well as the First Varsity crew'e coxwain, Katie Brosius.
Kansas rowing gained varsity status in 1995 and has been improving ever since. Under coach Rob Catt洛, the rowing team finished ninth in the Central regional last spring. At the NCAA South-Central Regionals, Kansas finished one of its best seasons to date, placing 16th.
The team finished just six points behind Texas and three places ahead of Kansas State.
Catloth said that, this season, the team's main goal is to make a push to make it past Texas and stay ahead of Kansas State. Texas and Kansas State are the only other Big 12 Teams that compete at the Division I level.
Catloth said developing talent was the key to success this season. The team may have some key members returning to the First Varsity Eight crew, but the rest of the team is young. Catloth said the team "will be looking for a lot of
improvement out of younger women."
The team finds most of its players by recruiting walk-ons on campus.Assistant coach Jennifer Myers will hold recruitment meetings this week at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 22, and Thursday, Aug. 23, in the Hadi Auditorium in Wagnon Student Athlete Center.
The walk-ons recruited at the meetings this week will have a chance to participate on the rowing team's novice crew for their freshman season and work their way up to varsity status,
potentially earning a scholarship.
With plans underway to build a new $6 million rowing boathouse and with walk-on recruitment, the team has come a long way since it first became a varsity sport at Kansas.
This season looks to see Kansas rowing continue its success as a Division I sport.

» FANTASY FOOTBALL
Sleepers get wake-up call
Small-name players might prove to be fantasy threats
PETERS
Buffalo Bills quarterback J. P. Losman, left, is pressured by Atlanta Falcons' John Abraham, right,

N.Y., on Friday.

BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH kbreckunitch@kansan.com
The Kansan's Fantasy Football writer Kelly Breckunitch will profile his top sleepers in a three-part series. Check The Kansan on Tuesday for part three.
REM sleep is most commonly the stage of sleep where people dream. These players are looking to have dream seasons in the NFL and break out as true fantasy threats.
QB J.P. LOSMAN, BUF-FALO
Last year, a lot of fantasy writers told fantasy owners to stay away from J.P. Losman. Last year he threw for 3.051 yards, 19 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, had a passer rating of 84.9 and a completion percentage of 62.5 percent. He has a big play threat in wide receiver Lee Evans and has steadily improved during his past three seasons.
TE DANIEL GRAHAM,
DENVER
A solid defense will get Buffalo's offense the ball enough, and a rookie running back will put most of the offensive emphasis on Losman. Look for Losman to bring some excitement to the frigid north this season.
Daniel Graham had to get out of New England, where he was primarily used as a blocking tight end. The emergence of Ben Watson last year and the signing of the plethora of receivers in the offseason helped make his move easier.
Denver is a good fit for Graham.
The Broncos are going into their

first season with Jay Cutler as the starting quarterback and he will need all the help he can get.
Curtis has played second fiddle to Holt and Bruce for his entire career so far, and now he will get the opportunity to play every down. Considering Brown is the next best option, Curtis should see a lot of balls thrown his way this year, which could lead to a lot of fantasy points.
DALLAS DEFENSE

Rod Smith is
aging quickly, and though Javon Walker proved himself as a major threat last year, he is more of a deep threat than a possession receiver. Therefore, Graham could become a viable option in the redzone for Cutler and break out of the shell that contained him in New England.
That should all improve this
The hiring of Wade Phillips should help improve a defense that had many holes last season.
Kevin Curtis has had to play behind Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce for the past four seasons. His move to Philadelphia should improve his role in the passing game. He should
Dallas will try to get rid of that bad taste left from its playoff loss to Seattle last season. The hiring of Wade Phillips should help improve a defense that had many holes last season. Dallas gave up 322.8 yards per game last season, had 34 sacks and 18 interceptions.
WR KEVIN CURTIS, PHILADELPHIA
season because Phillips has a defensive mindset and has worked with a 3-4 scheme in the past few seasons with San Diego. Phillips inherits a number of versatile playmakers like DeMarcus Ware, Marcus Spears, Greg Ellis, Bobby Carpenter, Anthony Spencer, Roy Williams and the new Cowboy Ken Hamlin who he can mold into perfect form in his defensive scheme. The Dallas defense should improve drastically under Phillips, who knows the 3-4 scheme extremely well.
RB BRANDON JACOBS,
NY GIANTS
Eli Manning has one thing in common with his brother Peyton:
his last name. Other than that, the two are entirely different quarterbacks. Eli Manning lacks the confidence and intangibles that make Peyton Manning such a great quarterback. That is why I have no faith in the Giants' passing game this season.
However, running back Brandon Jacobs could break out and have a decent season. He is a bruising back who has been limited to goal line duties the past two seasons behind Tiki Barber. Now Barber's retirement leaves Jacobs in competition with Reuben Droughts for the starting spot. Droughts has not proven himself as a starter.
Droughts has had only one good season out of the running back haven in Denver. His highest number of touchdowns in a season is six. Jacobs has had more touchdowns than that in his first two years in the NFL.
The question is, can Jacobs hold up as a starting running back? I think he will stay strong for this year at least and be the only bright spot on a dismal Giants offense.

Price refutes Oregon rumor Coach emphasizes his dedication to the Jayhawks
BY SHAWN SHROYER
sshroyer@kansan.com
A newspaper reported last week that Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price was on Oregon's short list of coaching candidates to rebuild
the Ducks'
baseball
program
f r o m
scratch
The situation may be sorted out as soon as this week
K
Price
but Price wants to clarify as much as he can in the meantime.
"I have not heard from them. I have not applied for the job," Price said Saturday afternoon. "They just ran that article last week that said I could be a candidate for that, and my phone has blown up since."
The article Price referred to ran in The Oregonian last Thursday and linked Price to the head coaching vacancy at Oregon. Price, a Sweet Home, Ore., native, said when the school began its search for a coach, it decided to target Oregon natives, so his came up.
"I was flattered to have that be my home state and be mentioned as a candidate for the job, but it certainly hasn't been anything that I've initiated." Price said.
The coaching position has been empty for the last 26 years. Oregon eliminated its baseball program for financial reasons following the 1981 season. But in July, Oregon athletics director Pat Kilkenny announced that the program would be reinstated and play would begin in the 2008-09 season. Prior to that announcement, Oregon was the only Pacific 10 Conference school without a baseball program.
Originally, Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin and Atlanta Braves Triple-A manager Dave Brundage were the leading candidates for the job, but both turned down the position last week. University of California, Irvine coach Dave Serrano is now thought to be Oregon's top choice and will interview with the school on Monday.
Since last week's report, Price has tried to remain business as usual. The Jayhawks held a team meeting on Friday and not a word was spoken about the Oregon coaching position.
"I didn't even address it because there's nothing to it on my end," Price said. "If they were to contact me next week, I would certainly let my players know, and obviously, I would visit with (University of Kansas associate athletics director) Sean Lester first."
Price said he was scheduled to meet with Lester on Monday at Lester's request. Price said Lester was out of town last week when the report came out, and that Lester wanted to talk to Price about it when he got back to Lawrence.
Kansas signed football coach Mark Mangino, men's basketball coach Bill Self and women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson to contract extensions last year, and the Athletics Department might now be prompted to do the same with Price. However, Price isn't looking to use Oregon's possible interest in him as a tool to parlay a bigger contract at Kansas.
"I'm certainly not using it as bargaining power at all. That's not my personality." Price said. "My personality is I do my job the best I can, and I just hope the people I work with bear with me."
If Price were to leave for Oregon, he would be met with the task of building a program from the ground up. Some people believe
that the baseball program would only have 3.5 scholarships the first year, and it may take as many as five years before it can offer the maximum 11.7 scholarships.
"It's going to be a building process there. It will be a huge challenge," Price said. "But they're going to build an $8 million stadium. They're going to make it one of the best jobs in the country. That's literally what it's going to be."
While Oregon could turn into a Top 25 program down the line. Price has built his own.
Price is 173-142-1 in five seasons at Kansas and is currently third on the school's all-time victories list. Price's 2006 squad won the Big 12 Championship and reached an NCAA Regional for the first time in more than a decade.
This year's team looks to have as much potential as the one from 2006 and includes Price's two youngest sons, senior Ryne Price and sophomore Robby Price. Price's oldest son, Ritchie, also played baseball at Kansas and holds eight school records. All of which are reasons why Price is happy right where he is.
"I've got my hands full at Kansas," Price said. "There's nobody in America who works harder than I do. I'm completely committed to baseball at Kansas and putting the best product on the field that I possibly can. I just signed the best recruiting class I've signed in the five years I've been at Kansas. Those players have signed to play at KU, and they signed to play for me. Oregon would have to make me an offer that I just absolutely couldn't refuse before I ever leave. I've never once thought about leaving."

Dorsey, a Wellsville native and Kansas' all-time leader in digs with 1,338, surprised her alumni teammates and her former coach by flying in from California at the last minute. Dorsey is currently residing in Hermosa Beach, Calif., and said she played sand volleyball as much as she could.

TENNIS
MASON, Ohio — Top-ranked Roger Federer reached another measure of tennis greatness on Sunday, winning his 50th tournament title by beating James Blake 6-1, 6-4 in the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters.
The 26-year-old Swiss star became the fifth-youngest player in history to reach 50, and only the ninth overall in the Open Era since 1968 - to win so many tournaments.
Given the way he's playing, he's eyeing the U.S. Open as No. 51.
Federer almost got the noteworthy win a week earlier in Montreal, where he lost the title match to Serbia's Novak Djokovic in a third-set tiebreaker.
MEN'S GOLF
REENSBORO, N.C. — Tied with two holes to play and seemingly headed for a playoff, Brandt Snekeder needed to make something bold happen. He made the best shot of his short career.
Armed with a 3-iron, Snekeder got within 32 feet on the par-317th and set up a birdie putt that moved him ahead of Tim Petrovic for good, and the rookie finished with a 9-under 63 on Sunday for his first career PGA Tour win, a two-stroke victory at the low-scoring Wyndham Championship.
"I knew I was going to have to birdie one of the last two to give myself a chance," Snedeker said. "The way the scores were going, everybody was getting birdies everywhere."
Snedeker, a 26-year-old Tennessee native and former Vanderbilt player, had the best round of the tournament. He finished at 22-under 266 and earned $900,000.
Petrovic (67) — who was tied with Snedeker with two holes to play — joined Jeff Overton (70)

EDMONTON, Alberta — Lorena Ochoa won the Canadian Women's Open for her second straight victory and fifth of the season, closing with a 2-under 69 on Sunday for a three-stroke victory over Paula Creamer.
The top-ranked Mexican star, coming off her first major victory two weeks ago in the Women's British Open at St. Andrews, had a 16-under 268 total on the Royal Mayfair course. She earned $337,500 to raise her tour-leading total to $2,636,590.

Big Jay is the most realistic Jayhawk you'll ever find, and he gave his all in the Capital One Mascot Challenge. Yet, he always plays second fiddle to fan favorite Baby Jay. I want to know why. Why aren't people more suspicious of this mischievous 'Baby' Jay?
Baby Jay turns 36 this October. How long does it take a Jay to reach adulthood? Secondly, for Baby Jay to exist, there must be a Mama Jay, right? Where is she? And why do the Jays fall down before every basketball game? Something tells me they have a dark past they're covering up.
But the most important question is: Why does this school — or any school or any sports franchise — need two mascots?
One mascot is more than enough and, in some cases, one too many. And that's the conundrum sports and fans are faced with today: When is enough, enough? How much cheesy entertainment will collegiate and professional sports offer fans to distract from the product on the field? When, if ever, will fans get their fill of this athletic window dressing? Is Steely McBeam the end of an era, or can we expect the unveiling of Mama Jay this Homecoming?
To the people of Pittsburgh's credit, some are protesting Steely McBeam and petitioning to have him removed. Steely's success in Pittsburgh could either facilitate or deter the mascot takeover that's now upon us.

The only question is just iow often McAnderson will be utilized. Kansas did not use two-back sets much in its previous offensive scheme. Now that the Jayhawks will be using a new, possibly more pass-heavy offense, McAnderson might only see the field in goal-line and short-yardage situations.
True freshman Carmon Boyd-Anderson impressed the coaching staff enough in August practices to slide into the three-spot at tailback. Mangino said Boyd-Anderson was focused and succeeded because he took football so seriously.
With at least two quality options at both quarterback and running back, Kansas will have the flexibility to mix and match personnel at any time. But Mangino said he would prefer to stick with one quarterback. For now, that quarterback is Todd Reesing.

Rams save Jackson for regular season
ST. LOUIS — Conserving Steven Jackson for the regular season serves two purposes for the St. Louis Rams.
Last year's NFL leader in combined rushing and receiving yards is fresh for the games that count. His rookie backup, second-round pick Brian Leonard, is getting a lot of work. While Jackson had a ceremonial start in Saturday night's 30-13 loss to the Chargers, lining up for the first play and then heading for the sideline, Leonard got 19 touches.
The Rams (1-1) may have been inspired by the Chargers' decision to hold back LaDainian Tomlinson, the NFLs MVP last year, in the preseason since 2005. Plus they realize how important Jackson, coming off a breakout season in which he racked up 2,334 yards, is to their dreams.
"Every year, because players are bigger and faster and stronger and more expensive, you've got to make a sure guy like Steven Jackson, who is a game-changer, is healthy for
the regular season and the playoffs", offensive coordinator Greg Olson said. "It's important that we have him at the end of the season when hopefully we're making a playoff push."
Leonard will get some snaps at fullback the last two preseason games. He had 49 yards on 17 carries and two catches for 18 yards against the Chargers, after scoring on a 10-yard run in the preseason opener at Minnesota.
"I was more settled down this game," Leonard said. "I knew more what to expect as to the speed of the game, and how these guys bring it."
Quarterback Marc Bulger has been impressed with Leonard's willingness to just move the chains, rather than try for big plays.
"He's not trying to do too much," Bulger said. "He understands that four or five yards is great on first down.
"A lot of young backs are so used to getting so many yards on first down and I think he understands already that you take what they give you."
In two games, Jackson has only
two catches for 8 yards. He wasn't used a lot in the 2006 preseason, either, totaling 17 carries and three receptions. That light warm-up obviously was no factor for Jackson, who finished with a career-high 1,528 yards rushing with 13 touchdowns and an NFL-leading 9 catches for 806 yards and three more scores.
This year Jackson is aiming for 2,500 total yards and the Rams believe a strong backup will help him reach that goal. Linehan said Jackson's playing time will increase "a little bit" for the preseason game Friday at Oakland, which could mean a handful of snaps, with Leonard is expected to get more heavy duty.
Most of the front-line players will get limited or no duty at all in the final preseason game Aug. 30 against the Chiefs.

"Our biggest question is, 'If Steven weren't in the game, who are we going to play?' Linehan said. "I don't have any question about what Steven is going to be able to do."

point out that it's been a fairly physical camp.

Holmes waits for a chance
31
Associated Press
Kansas City Chiefs running back Priest Holmes works out during football training camp in River Falls, Wis., Sunday, July 29, 2007. Holmes has a message for holdout All-Pro Larry Johnson: If you don't want the job, I'll take it.
Injury keeps running back out of game
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY,Mo. — Helmetless and frustrated, Priest Holmes had to stand around and watch Sunday while the Kansas City Chiefs went through another practice without him.
The former Pro Bowl running back had hoped to get medical clearance and be removed from the physically unable-to-perform list and take part in his first actual practice on Sunday. But with general manager Carl Peterson out of town reportedly attending to negotiations with holdout running back Larry Johnson, Holmes' status remained the same.
"It's not a setback. We just have to wait until Carl gets back in town," said Holmes. "I'm not sure when he'll be back."
Holmes has remained on PUP since he unexpectedly decided to come to training camp last month in River Falls, Wis., and attempt an improbable comeback at the age of 33. He hasn't played or practiced since sustaining severe head and neck trauma in Oct. 2005 during a game at San Diego.
Coach Herm Edwards said he wanted to make sure not to hurry Holmes.
"He's not ready. We had a long talk," Edwards said. "The doctor said it's OK for him to participate. But in his mind, and in our mind, we felt where he's at right now he's not 100 percent with his legs underneath him. He's laid off for a long time. I told him today, I'm not going to rush you. I'm definitely not going to rush you."
Holmes, the Chiefs' career rushing leader, scored 27 touchdowns in 2005 for what was then an NFL record. He is the Chiefs' career rushing leader.
After being examined by team physician Dr. Jon Brown, Holmes was on the field but without his helmet, something required for players on PUP. While teammates went through a tough, physical practice, Holmes jogged, stood around and ran phantom passing routes away from everyone else.
"Dr. Brown wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page. Instead of me coming out and possibly violating my PUP (status) by putting my helmet on," Holmes said. "That's the only reason why you see me out here with shoulder pads and no helmet. I can mirror just about everything that they're doing. But I can't put on the helmet while I'm still on the actual PUP list."
The Chiefs have to be careful not to take him off the list too early. If he's activated but then cannot perform, they would either have to cut him or place him on injured reserve, putting him out for the season. A possibility is they would keep him on PUP into the regular season and then make a decision no later than the ninth week.
"We don't want to be put in a situation where all of a sudden you take him off PUP and you start practicing and you say two days from now, I'm really not ready yet," Edwards said. "Well, that's OK for you but it's not OK for the football team."
Without Johnson or Holmes, the Chiefs' running game has been feeble in two preseason losses. They netted only 61 yards in an 11-10 loss to Miami last week even though Dolphins defensive starters Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas and Keith Traylor did not suit up.
There also has been speculation that Holmes has proved a distraction. And Edwards was caught in a somewhat embarrassing situation when he said Holmes was in the stadium during the Dolphins game only to discover later that he had flown home to San Antonio and not attended.
"He's come to work every day, never been late," Edwards said. "He went home for the preseason game Thursday. I talked to him during the day. I didn't anticipate him going

home. I thought he was going to the game. He went home to see his family. I told him the next day, 'All you have to do is tell me so I know where you're at.'
"Priest Holmes has not been a distraction. For him to do what he's trying to do, I applaud the guy."

Blunder in Baltimore: injuries, penalties plague Ravens-Giants game
BY DAVID GINSBURG ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — A hard-hitting preseason game between the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens produced far more injuries than touchdowns.
New York won 13-12 Sunday night, but both teams lost key players during the game.
Two members of the Giants' starting defense left in the second quarter. Safety Will Demps.
"We made mistakes and committed penalties after not doing either of those last week. I thought we'd have better focus."
Ravens cornerback Samari Rolle and receiver Mark Clayton both sprained their ankles.

"It just wasn't there tonight," McNair said.
Giants quarterback Eli Manning played deep into the second quarter, going 10-for-13 for 114 yards and producing the game's lone touchdown.
The Ravens took advantage of a turnover by Manning to go up 3-0 in the first quarter. After a sneak by McNair came up short on fourth-and-1 from the New York 20, Manning fumbled without being hit, and Baltimore recovered on the 12. Matt Stover then kicked a 33-yard field goal.
Manning made amends by capping an 80-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Smith.
After a scoreless third quarter, New York's Josh Huston kicked field goals of 50 and 30 yards around a 40-yarder by Baltimore's Rhys Lloyd, who also added a 38-yarder with 2:39 left.
Stover kicked a 47-yard field goal late in the first half to make it 7-6.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Is that David Beckham?" teammate Nick Swisher joked while maneuvering past the media swarm around DInardo's locker.
Jeff DaVanon hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the first innning to give DiNardo an early cushion. Scutatar, the fabulous fill-in during his four-year Oakland tenure, hit a solo shot in the fourth for his seventh home run of the year and also had three singles and drove in another run. His four hits matched a career high, a feat he last accomplished Sept. 15. 2006 against the White Sox.
Johnson led off the sixth inning with his 12th homer, and Jack Hannahan added an RBI double two batters later.
DiNardo pitched a career-long eight innings and is 5-0 in his last seven starts, including the first three-start winning streak of his career. He didn't walk a batter for the first time in six starts and pitched two-hit ball into the seventh as the As avoided a third straight defeat.
The left-hander hasn't lost since July 13 at Minnesota, his first start after the All-Star break. He was efficient, too: 50 of his 85 pitches were strikes.
"Hopefully, I'll have a few more of those," DiNardo said. "I was pretty economical out there."
"We didn't take a good approach
Kansas City outscored Oakland 16-5 in the first two games and had a 22-7 scoring edge, including the team's 6-2 win at Texas on Thursday, during a three-game winning streak. But the Royals didn't get on the board Sunday until Emil Brown's RBI single in the seventh scored Mark Grudzielanek, who doubled leading off the inning.

against him," Royals manager Buddy Bell said of DNardo. "He had a good cutter, he changed speeds and he threw strikes. We didn't make him throw a lot of pitches and that's to his credit. We didn't have a lot of baserunners and we didn't have a lot of opportunities."

The Royals missed a chance for their first three-game sweep in Oakland since June 14-16, 1988, which would have been only the club's fourth overall here. Kansas City last swept the As in Kansas City from May 18-20, 1999.
DinNardo is making quite the case to be in Oakland's starting rotation in 2008, though manager Bob Geren said that he wasn't ready to commit to anything yet.

Hip-hop duo will release new album this winter
The Lawrence-based hip-hop group Crux is gaining a local fan base for their unique lyrics and sound.
The group, which consists of Ricky Thrash Jr., Kalamazoo, Mich., senior, and 2006 KU graduate Trey Allen, released their first album, "The Question," in 2005.
"We would go through the beats and ask 'Does that sound good?' or 'Who would sound good on this?' Allen said. "We narrowed the beats down and came up with lyrics on the fly. An example is the song 'Get Loose'."
"Get Loose" was the first single off the group's debut album and is Allen and Thrash's favorite song from the album.
"Ricky made that beat the day we were finishing up the album," Allen said.
The group's second album, which is scheduled to be released by winter break this year, will feature individual and collaborative tracks from the duo with a few guest appearances.

Despite structure ratings, county's bridges still safe

The northbound I-70 access bridge near Sixth and Iowa streets is rated "structurally deficient" by the Kansas Department of Transportation. The department named 14 Douglas County bridges as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.

Transportation department lists two Lawrence bridges as 'structurally deficient'
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
Kim Stich wanted drivers to know something about Kansas" "structurally deficient" bridges, including the two in Lawrence.
"Structurally deficient' doesn't mean dangerous," said Stich, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Transportation.
Two of Douglas County's lowest-rated structurally deficient bridges are in Lawrence, according to a report
from the Kansas Department of Transportation.
Structurally deficient bridges can't carry heavy loads. Functionally obsolete bridges don't meet current design standards.
The county has 14 structurally deficient or functionally obsolete bridges, and the state has 514.
Lawrence's low-rated structures are the northbound and southbound bridges giving access to Interstate Highway 70 near Sixth and Iowa streets. They have sufficiency ratings of about 32 on a scale of 100. The Minneapolis bridge that collapsed earlier this month
had a sufficiency rating of 50. Keith Browning, director of the Douglas County public works department, said drivers shouldn't fear the low rating.
"It doesn't mean that bridge is ready to collapse," Browning said. "It just means there's an element of the bridge that needs monitoring or repair."
KDOT has no plans to re-inspect or upgrade any of those bridges in Douglas County despite questions of bridge safety stemming from the Minneapolis collapse.

Judo club gets physical, not violent Students learn to safely practice Japanese art of gentle combat
Looking for a way to live up your evenings? Want to get a good workout and learn self-defense techniques? If so, the KU iudo club may be the activity for you.
Translated from Japanese, judo means "the gentle way." Unlike other physical martial arts such as tae kwon do, in judo there is no striking. Instead, fighters compete to throw opponents to the floor
by using their own body weight against them.
Even though the sport is considered gentle and relatively safe, it is still very physical. Bumps and bruises are a common occurrence, but rarely does a serious injury happen. Matches last about three minutes, and they're intense. To win a match, opponents must score one
point by performing a variety of knock-downs, pins and submission holds.
The club practices on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the martial arts room in the Student Recreation Fitness Center.

Crux offers unique lyrics, sound
Local hip-hop group plans to release second album by winter break

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Local hip-hop group Crux formed in 2005. Members include Ricky Thrash Jr., Kalmazaro, Mich., right (right), and KU alumnus Trey Allen (bottom). Kris Kennedy, 2007 KU graduate (left), helped found the group and still contributes to its music.

mlindberg@kansan.com
While many local rock bands have gathered attention in the past, students are starting to take notice of 2006 KU graduate Trey Allen and Ricky Thrash Jr., Kalamazoo, Mich., senior, who go by the stage names spa3 and Rick Luv respectively. Together, they make up the hip-hop duo Crux and they are currently working on their second album, "The Answer."
Thrash, who grew up as a KU basketball fan, decided to attend the University because of the school's sports reputation.
Allen came to KU after graduating from Wichita East because he received a full scholarship and wanted to be close to his high school friends.
"This second album is going to be so much better than the first," Allen said. "If you play it, you will definitely get something out of it."
Although Crux didn't form until 2005, Thrash and Allen knew each other since 2004 when Allen moved into Lewis Hall. Fellow group founder Kris Kennedy, 2007 graduate, also lived in the residence hall.
"We all got close when we learned we had a lot of the same views on music." Thrash said.
Allen said Lawrence had more of a rock and indie music scene, but Crux was bringing hip-hop to the city.
"I always told myself when I got to college I would find some kind of outlet for my poetry and writing," Allen said.
From there, Allen began to produce his own beats and formed Crux with Kennedy.
Thrash already had a strong musical background.
"My dad raised me to do it all. I joined the children's group Baby Faze and put on a bunch of different performances that would air on local cable access shows." Thrash said.
Thrash recorded an album during high school with his cousin and a friend, but moved to Lawrence to attend the University right after it was released. Initially, Thrash resisted joining Crux because he didn't think he was a good rapper.
"You are your own worst critic." Thrash said.
Crux put out its debut album, "The Question," in 2005. The group consisted of Allen, Thrash and Kennedy and two of their friends. They recorded the album in just more than a month.
"We would go through the beats and ask 'does that sound good?' or 'who would sound good on this?' We narrowed the beats down and came up with lyrics on the fly. An example is the song 'Get Loose,' Allen said.
'Get Loose' was the group's first single and both Allen and Thrash said it was their favorite song on the debut album.
After the release of "The Question," the group began performing many benefit shows such as Crux Against Cancer.
Kennedy's younger brother had
cancer and Allen's mother died from the disease.
"It's why I do the shows and why it's so special," Allen said. "It's my way of letting her know how I'm doing and to help give money to finding a cure."
Personal experiences are a primary source of the duo's original lyrics.
"Our lives aren't what BET represents. Life isn't grills, spinners or a thug life. It's regular. So our music is just about anything we are feeling." Allen said.
Thrash said the black community portrayed in the media frustrated him and had a large effect on his lyrics.
"My music is just about my life experiences whether it's girls or the fact that people can do better." Thrash said.
The group's second album will feature a collection of individual tracks from both Allen and Thrash, with guest appearances from Kennedy and a few collaborations between the duo.
"The first album was forced in that we were trying to get everybody on equal tracks," Thrash said. "On this one, we both have our own styles. Sometimes it was hard to do a certain track with certain members because I wanted it to be harder than it sounded. This time, we get to do what we really want to do."
Both Allen and Thrash produce and write all their music.
In addition to the second album, which is slated to be released by winter break this year, the guys are hoping to have multiple concerts, including the homecoming halftime show and benefit shows.
Thrash and Allen said they were hopeful that the second album would receive more play time from local venues.
"There is a certain piece of our music that fits everybody," Allen said. "Whether it's our lyrics, beats—it can touch somebody."

"Roger Kaesler was a tremendous asset to the University of Kansas."
sneff@kansan.com
Roger Leroy Kaesler, professor emeritus of geology, died Aug. 11 at the age of 70.
Kaesler received many awards during his tenure at KU. He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; of the Paleontological Society (USA), and of the Geological Society of America. Kaesler also received the Geological Society of America's Distinguished Service Award and the Haworth Distinguished Alumni Award from both the KU geology department and from the Colorado School of Mines.
Kaesler was born on June 22, 1937. He earned his bachelor's degree in geological engineering from the University of Colorado School of Mines in 1959, where he later received the Distinguished Alumni Award and the van Diest Gold Medal. Kaesler then earned his master's and doctoral degrees in paleontology at the University of Kansas. Kaesler became a faculty member in 1965 and retired in 2006. He taught classes at the non-major, undergraduate and graduate levels. He also led a summer geology field camp in Canon City, Colo.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a press release. "For more than 40 years, Roger served as a professor in the geology department and was a mentor to countless students and colleagues. On behalf of them and the University, I want to extend my deepest sympathies to Roger's family and friends."
Kaesler is survived by his wife, Jerelyn Boudreaux Kaesler; brother Walter Kaesler Jr. of Golden, Colo.; son Stephen Kaesler of Wichita; daughters Jane Kaesler Stotts of Topeka, Andrea Kaesler of Topeka, and Susanne Broussard Grossoehmie of Baldwin City; and his five grandchildren, Conner, Gabriella, Drake, Cade and Emma.
Kaesler was editor of 13 volumes of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology. Robert Goldstein, chair of the geology department, said Kaesler's accomplishments were one of the main reasons KU's geology department ranked in the top 10 in the US Reports and Rankings.
"He had a great sense of humor," Goldstein said. "He was famous in his field. As a colleague, he was just a great guy and a mentor to lots of young faculty and students."
A memorial service will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 4 in the Natural History Museum.

Already experienced in real estate before her marriage, Helmsley helped her husband run an enterprise that included managing the Empire State Building, as many as 27 hotels and thousands of apartments.
》 OBITUARY
BY RICHARD PYLE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Leona Helmsley, a real estate tycoon who became known as the "queen of mean" during 1989 tax evasion trial. died Monday at 87.
Real estate billionaire called'queen of mean dies of heart failure
10725649008499505354
Helmsley died of heart failure at her summer home in Greenwich, Conn., said her publicist, Howard Rubenstein.
She became a household name in 1989 when she was tried for tax evasion. The sensational trial included testimony from disgruntled employees who said she had terrorized the help and the executives at her hotels and homes.
NEW YORK — Leona Helmsley; who ran a $5 billion hotel and real estate empire with her husband but sealed her reputation as the "queen of mean" during her 1989 trial for tax evasion, died Monday. She was 87.
She was 51, with the good looks of a former model and already a successful seller of residential real estate in a hot New York market, when she married Harry Helmsley in 1972.
That image of Helmsley as the "queen of mean" was cemented when a former housekeeper testified that she heard Helmsley say: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes."
For the better part of a decade, a glamorous Leona Helmsley smiled out of magazine ads dressed in luxurious gowns and tiara, advertising that the Palace was the only hotel in the world "where the Queen stands guard."
Helmsley denied having said it, but the words followed her for the rest of her life.
She clearly enjoyed the luxury of her private fortune, flying the globe in a 100- seat jet with a bedroom suite. She and her husband's residences included a nine- room penthouse with a swimming pool overlooking Central Park atop their own Park Lane Hotel; an $8 million estate in Connecticut; a condo in Palm Beach; and a mountaintop hideaway near Phoenix.
Yet Helmsley nickel-and-dimed merchants on her personal purchases, stiffed contractors who worked on her Connecticut home and terrorized both menial and executive help at her homes and hotels, detractors say.
Earlier this year, Forbes magazine ranked her as the 369th richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $2.5 billion.
"Leona Helmsley was definitely one of a kind," said Donald Trump, whose rivalry with the Helmsles made headlines in the 1990s. "Harry loved being with her and the excitement she brought, and that is all that really matters."
The Helmsleys' financial excesses overshadowed millions in contributions for medical research and other causes. In recent years, she contributed $25 million to New York Presbyterian Hospital, $5 million to Katrina relief and $5 million after Sept. 11 to help the families of firefighters.
When her husband died in 1997 at age 87, Helmsley said in a statement: "My fair tale is over. I lived a magical life with Harry."
In 1980 he made her president of Helmsley Hotels, a subsidiary which at the time operated more than two dozen hotels in 10 states, including the Park Lane, St. Moritz and Palace in New York and the Harley Hotels. Harley was a contraction of Harry and Leona.
He was 63 and one of the richest men in America.
The press portrayed them as an adoring couple, with Leona calling Harry "gorgeous one" and "pussy-cat." Friends and acquaintances described her as generous, charming, playful and having a good sense of humor.

BRIDGES (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"Our bridge inspections are rigorous and our data is current and sound," Deb Miller, Kansas transportation secretary, said in a statement. "The Kansas bridge system ranks among the best in
the country, and I want all travelers to feel safe and confident when they use our highways."
K D O T
D o u g l a s
County and the city share responsibilities for maintaining bridges in
ratings to the deck, superstructure and substructure. The deck is the part of the bridge that cars travel on. The substructure is below the deck, and the superstructure is above it.
Lawrence. Workers inspect bridges every other year, Browning said.
"It doesn't mean that bridge is ready to collapse. It just means there's an element of the bridge that needs monitoring or repair."
Inspections involve assigning
KEITH BROWNING Douglas County public works director
Inspectors look for factors such as cracking and deterioration to determine the overall sufficiency rating of the bridge, Browning said. Bridges labeled as functionally obsolete or structurally
deficient get replaced or repaired depending on how serious the damages are.
"Whenever something is seen
that needs to be done," Stich said, "we do it. When something needs to be fixed, you want to do it."
The Douglas County public works department can have several bridge projects going on at any time. Its goal is to replace two bridges a year. The department recently finished rebuilding a bridge over the Kansas River in Lecompton at a price of $2.5 million.
Browning said the disaster in Minneapolis made bridges more of a public issue. But drivers don't need to worry about driving on the county's bridges, he said.
"KDOT and us have always done a good job." Browning said. "Bridges do collapse, and it has to warrant attention. You just can't take it for granted."

Police arrest undocumented mom
Famous activist deported after leaving year-long refuge at Chicago church
BY PETER PRENGAMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — An illegal immigrant who took refuge in a Chicago church for a year to avoid being separated from her U.S.-born son has been deported to Mexico, the church's pastor said.
Elvira Arellano became an activist and a national symbol for illegal immigrant parents as she defied her deportation order and spoke out from her religious sanctuary. She held a news conference last week to announce that she would finally leave the church to try to lobby U.S. lawmakers for change.
"She is free and in Tijuana," said Coleman, who said he spoke to her on the phone. "She is in good spirits. She is ready to continue the struggle against the separation of families from the other side of the border."
She had just spoken at a Los Angeles rally when she was arrested Sunday and deported, said the Rev. Walter Coleman, pastor of Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago, where Arellano had been living.
Her 8-year-old son, Saul, is now living with Coleman's family. During a news conference in Los Angeles
"From the time I took sanctuary, the possibility has existed that they arrest me in the place and time they want," she said in Spanish. "I only have two choices. I either go to my country, Mexico, or stay and keep fighting. I decided to stay and fight."
after Arellano's arrest, the boy hid behind the pastor's wife and wiped away tears.
Arellano, 32, arrived in Washington state illegally in 1997. She was deported to Mexico shortly afterward, but returned and moved to Illinois in 2000, taking a job cleaning planes at O'Hare International Airport.
Arellano had said on Saturday that she was not afraid of being taken into custody by immigration agents.
She was arrested in 2002 at O'Hare and convicted of working under a false Social Security number. She was to surrender to authorities last August but instead sought refuge at the church on Aug. 15, 2006.
She had not left the church property until she decided to travel by car to Los Angeles, Coleman said.
U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed her arrest and said she was deported Sunday night through San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing.

Bush meets with North American leaders
BY BEN FELLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTEBELLO, Quebec — President Bush, tending to relations with two border nations, sought Monday to invigorate his partnership with like-minded leaders of Canada and Mexico.
Bush arrived by mid-afternoon in the Canadian countryside, where he will promote North American integration with Canadian Prime
Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon. Police in riot gear pushed back dozens of protesters marching just outside the gate of the resort compound, where a few hundred people gathered in demonstration.
of its kind during Bush's presidency, and each one has been meant to bolster a compact - dubbed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America - that serves as a way for the nations to team up on health, security and commerce.
"I heard it's nothing," Harper said, dismissing the protests as Bush arrived at the posh Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello. Bush ducked a question about it and just smiled.
The broad theme of the event is economic prosperity, built around several topics: border security, competitiveness with India and China, product safety and energy solutions.
Bush will also be faced with matters of specific concern to each of the countries.
The two-day summit is the third
"I don't expect any major announcements," Bush spokesman Gordon Johndroe said. "I think it's a continuance of discussions that we have regularly with our two closest neighbors."
For Bush, the event also allows him to show that he does not take his neighbors for granted; they are both vital trading partners and energy providers for the U.S.

Gentle but fierce, judo club members battle it out
BY JEFF DETERS
jdeters@kansan.com
Ryan Hilger's hands grip the blue collar of his opponent Chad Steele's judogi. The two stand about a foot apart inside the Martial Arts room in the Student
Recreation Fitness Center.
Hilger sidesteps and pulls back with his hands, flipping Steele onto his back.
Steele quickly bounces back up, and the two spar again.
Hilger and Steele are among a handful of students who battle
each week in the KU judo club practices.
"It's real technical, exhausting. It's probably the most exhausting thing I've ever done. You can run around and play basketball, but judo is killer."
tional martial arts like karate, judo combatants do not strike each other with punches or kicks. But Hilger, assistant coach of the judo team, said that didn't mean there was no contact.
"it's still very physical", he said.
"There's just no striking or traditional combat stuff, but it's still multiple throwing, armbars, grappling and choking."
In Japanese, judo means "the gentle way" and unlike more tradi-

Hilger, a brown belt, has been involved in judo since 2004. He said that even without violent punching, hitting or kicking, there was one thing competitors would often notice when they left practice.

"Bruises are very common here," Hilger said. "It's just a fact of life."
Hilger said the first area of his teachings focused on safety. Students first learn how to safely fall and roll. Hilger said students shouldn't fear getting injured because no serious injuries had taken place in the club.
Another safety precaution is that competitors can tap two times on their side at any point during the match to indicate to their opponent that they have had enough, and Hilger said the club never viewed that as giving up.
"We completely respect that," Hilger said. "You're not looked down upon badly for tapping out. it's all about safety here. We teach very, very safe ways of practicing iudo."
To win a match, competitors need to score one point. By throwing an opponent to the floor, a fighter is awarded one point, and thus wins the match.
Steele said that when he first started, he had to learn how to manage the difficulties of the sport, particularly stamina.
Steele, Lawrence senior, has been involved in judo since 2002. He enrolled in the health, sports and exercise science judo class his freshman year.
Points also are tallied in smaller increments like half-points for various knockdowns and pins.
ditional robes for durability. Robes can be bought for about $25 at the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union.
"I thought it was great," he said. "I was hooked."
The intense matches usually last about three minutes, and combatants fight in short bursts of adrenaline. Steele said his favorite move was the "tai-otoshi," where he pulls opponents over his leg and twists them around, sending them down to the mat.
"It's real technical, exhausting," Steele said. "It's probably the most exhausting thing I've ever done. You

McMullen said that participating in the sport had been beneficial to him in more than one way because not only did it give him a good workout and keep him in shape,

but it also taught him self-defense techniques.
The club practices from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays in the Martial Arts room in the recreation center.
McMullen encouraged students to stop in to see the action for themselves.
"Just try it," he said. "You're not going to know if you like it until you get out there and do it. And we're all real nice people, most of the time."
DRUGS

Painkiller use soars throughout U.S. suburbs
BY FRANK BASS ASSOCIATED PRESS
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — People in the United States are popping pills at an alarming rate.
The amount of five major painkillers sold at retail establishments rose 90 percent between 1997 and 2005, according to an Associated Press analysis of statistics from the Drug Enforcement Administration.
More than 200,000 pounds of codeine, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone and meperidine were purchased at retail stores during the most recent year represented in the data. That total is enough to give more than 300 milligrams of painkillers to every person in the country.
Oxycodone, the chemical used in OxyConten, is responsible for most of the increase. Oxycodone use jumped nearly six-fold between 1997 and 2005. The drug gained notoriety as "hillbilly heroin", often bought and sold illegally in Appalachia. But its highest rates of sale now occur in places such as suburban St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio, and Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
In Appalachia, retail sales of hydrocodone — sold mostly as Vicodin — were the highest in the nation. Nine of the 10 areas with the highest per-capita sales were in mostly rural parts of West Virginia, Kentucky or Tennessee.
The world of pain extends beyond big cities and involves more than oxycodone.
While retail sales of codeine have fallen by one-quarter since 1997, some of the highest rates of sales have been in communities around Kansas City, Mo., and Nashville, Tenn., and on New York's Long Island.
Suburbs are not immune to the explosion.
The DEA figures include nationwide sales and distribution of drugs by hospitals, retail pharmacies, doctors and teaching institutions. Federal investigators study the same data trying to identify illegal prescription patterns.
Drugmakers have embarked on unprecedented marketing campaigns. Spending on drug marketing has gone from $11 billion in 1997 to nearly $30 billion in 2005, congressional investigators found.

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Kevin Federline will guest star in a series of shows in the upcoming season of the CW's "One Tree Hill." The aspiring rapper will portray a cocky rock singer, said a publicist for the show.
TELEVISION Rapper Kevin Federline is going 'Tree' climbing
The new season is scheduled to begin in midseason, although an exact start date hasn't been set.
The show stars Chad Michael Murray as Lucas Scott and James Lafferty as his half-brother, Nathan Scott. Other stars are Hilarie Burton, Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Galeotti.
A spokeswoman for Federline did not immediately return an after-hours message seeking comment. The Web site TMZ.com first reported that Federline would appear in "One Tree Hill."
This season, the show's fifth, the characters will age more than four years from last season.

CELEBRITY NEWS Anna Nicole's daughter celebrates first birthday
The ex-Mr. Britney Spears is scheduled to begin filming later this week in Wilmington, where the series is filmed. He'll appear in a multi-episode story arc.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Danielynn, will celebrate her first birthday next month at a party in Louisville.
The party will be held at the home of Tricia Barnstable Brown, who hosts an annual Kentucky Derby-eve party packed with celebrities. Smith and Dannielynn's father, Larry Birkhead, met at the 2003 party.
Brown said Birkhead, a Louisville native, asked her to host the party.
"They met at my Derby party here at my home," Brown said Saturday. "Now Larry is bringing Dannielynn in from LA, to celebrate her first birthday party."
Brown said she expects about 200 people, including family and friends. She said Howard K. Stern, who had been in a custody battle with Birkhead over Dannielynn, will also attend.
The catered party will have elaborate decorations and hotair balloons, Brown said.
Smith gave birth to Dannielynn in the Bahamas on Sept. 7. Her 20-year-old son, Daniel, died three days later at her hospital bedside from a lethal combination of drugs.
Stern claimed to be Dannielynn's father, but DNA tests proved last spring that Birkhead is the father. Birkhead is now raising Dannielynn.

Israel halts refugees' escape route
The genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan will likely be the prevalent human
rights cause of our generation. Organizations all over the world have sought to bring attention to the slaughter of non-Arab Sudanese civilians at the hands of the government-backed Janjaweed militia. Yet, as refugees from the region flood into other parts of Africa and the Middle East, there are states that would wrongly deny them sanctuary.
Sunday, Aug. 19, Israel rejected admittance through their borders to
roughly 50 African refugees. Their reasoning: It is against Israeli law to allow refugees from enemy states entry to the country, Sudan's government is classified as an enemy of Israel. The fact that these refugees are also the enemy of the Sudanese government (which doesn't officially carry out genocide, but supports those who do) apparently held no sway.
The refugees had traveled through Egypt on their way to Israel, and been allegedly subjected to brutality on the part of the Egyptian military, charges which Egypt has
yet to respond to. However, Israeli military officials claim to have witnessed Egyptian officials executing and brutalizing refugees. The asylum-seekers who were turned away from Israel will likely be forced to return to Egypt, where they may be killed.
This is not a case of immigration for economic or even political prospects. The people escaping Darfur are literally running for their lives. Laws are generally the glue that holds societies and nations together, but in this case, Israeli law is unjust.
Many Israelis agree. Members of the Knesset, Israel's legislative body, are signing petitions, urging the government to allow Sudanese refugees to remain in the country. Civilian volunteer workers are trying to help the 400 or so refugees who have been allowed to stay in Israel find housing and employment.
In an increasingly hostile region, Israel should have been a beacon of light to those whose livelihoods had been destroyed in Darfur. Instead, as has occurred all too often in this conflict (which has been going on since 2003), Israel turned out to be
another dead end. It does not have to be this way.
Israel has the opportunity to do right by these asylum-seekers, and must remember that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Its citizens and areas of its leadership seem eager to accept these people; now the government as a whole must become as progressive as its population.
Besides the fact that taking in these refugees is far and away the right thing to do, Israel stands to better its image with black African Muslims. While earlier civil conflicts in Sudan dealt primarily with religious strife (pitting Muslims against Christians and Animists), the Darfur massacre is mostly one of racial cleansing; according to the United Nations, most of its victims are Muslim.
Israel is usually in the news for its conflict with Palestinians. It could, however, grab notoriety for assisting numerous desperate people in their time of need. That, we maintain, would be a vast improvement.

New Rule: Gravy Not to Be Served Above 20,000 ft.
Flying is supposed to be the most convenient way to travel. Convenient.

Waiting in lines that make the last five minutes of your least favorite class seem like heaven, just to be frisked by security personnel is not exactly an activity you want to participate in before a cup of coffee. Security is of course completely necessary, but sometimes as I stand in a security line, barefoot, smelling the built-up stench of thousands of sweaty feet having passed through the same small area and squeamishly considering what possibly could be hidden in the realms

out on a five hour flight when I was served chicken, green beans and scalloped potatoes. I really should have known better. The chicken was not a color any chicken, or other meat, should ever be. Plus, it was smothered in some kind of brown guck, gravy apparently. After this experience, I think as a general rule, gravy should not be served above a certain altitude. Added to the fun of awkwardly asking the people beside you to move for the third time, not to mention the occasional showdown with the flight attendant and her cart blocking your way makes

When I was on an early morning flight to San Francisco this summer, a woman in the seat next to me asked the flight attendant for a pillow. You know, the dinky ones half the size of a piece of copy paper. The flight attendant's aggravated response was that the airline had discontinued pillows and told the woman to go to www.delta.com/feedback, the response left the woman without a pillow and instead gave her a chore. In a move just as ridiculous, Northwest Airlines has begun charging extra for the "roomier" aisle seat. I suppose the thinking is that the seat is slightly more comfortable because you can spread out into the aisle. Although, I doubt they take into account the unanticipated elbow bashing from the drink cart and the constant movement of other passengers. But at least they're thinking of you, their customer.

NICE AND ACCURATE PROPHECIES
Crash Course: National Anthems From Singing to Politics, Everything under the Drawn's Early Light
As I am a strong proponent of education and its benefits, today I'm going to teach you all about something very near and dear to everyone: National anthems.
Intricate musical parts of any country's heritage, these various ballads of "daring do" empower people of nations (provided they know the words) and offer vital time before the commencement of sporting events to visit the lavatory or buy a much needed beer, pretzel, or nacho plate.
As individual citizens of various nations we pose, hats in hands, hands over hearts, elbows cocked in salute, heads bowed in praise and we pay homage to our nation in grandiose stupendatry, shouting choruses and shedding tears during the high parts.
"O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light..."
Francis Scott Key, a lawyer, wrote the poem "The Star Spangled Banner" after watching the British naval attack of Fort McHenry during the American war of 1812. I say the American war of 1812 because there were other wars raging in Europe at the time (most of them started by this little French dude named Napoleon Bonaparte...see "1812 Overture").
Why did he write it, though?
What was in it for him?
Knowing the time period and the writers of said time period, I'm sure his explanation had something to do with an indescribable rush of emotion while watching the besieged fort through the mists of cannon smoke and glory.
I think he knew he could hook up with a musician, copyright the lyrics and then market it to Congress for a profit...such it the American way.
Pardon my being snide. God bless the republic and save it from itself!
But Key wasn't the only author of anthems. What about Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier, the penner of the
great and rousing "O, Canada" that stirs the hearts of those in the great land to the north, or Francisco González Bocanegra, who wrote the Mexican national anthem?
BENJAMIN R SMITH
Across the sea they have "Rule Britannia," by that magnificent and esteemed James Thompson. And in France, they break bread to the hip tones of La Marseillaise (of "Casablanca" fame).
Such stirring and important contributions to patriotism are these collections of notes and words. They unify spirits; they stir a lust for life in every countryman of every country. At the Olympic Games, these anthems are played nonstop for days on end causing, blindness, paralysis, sepsis, aneurisms in the heart and brain, occasional irregularity and eventually surrender.anything repeated so often would do so (see Panama 1991).
What's the deal, folks? Why did we use songs to make us feel better than everybody else?
"Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave"
"Englishmen will near ever be slaves."
"Que veut cette horde desclaves, De traits, deois conjurés?" Which either means "What does this horde of slaves, traitors, and plotting kings want?" or "Why won't anybody buy our little Eifel tower paperweights?"
All of these anthems seem like badges worn to show the countries of the globe how separate they are from one another and how much better than everyone else they esteem themselves.
Every country is the best country without question and if anyone from anywhere says different while I'm within earshot and loaded to the gills, they'll have my size-12 boots to deal with!
Such pithy bragging, such childish taunting these anthems seem. I'll admit I get teary sometimes when the U.S. anthem is played but it's just a song, words and notes that inspire something in me that an entirely different song inspires in someone else from entirely different nation.
Why isn't there a world anthem?
Something we can all play everywhere and love equally? Probably because the idea seems too warm and fuzzy...
I'm a realist; I understand that the whole world holding hands and singing Cum-by-yaw is a little tellitubby we-e-e-eird.
If there is any hope for a unified world, these songs have either got to go or recognize that every nation in the world has flaws, foibles, skeletons in their closet, monsters under their beds, and bats in their bellfries. We are the world, full of animosity.
Twinah himself once commented on the stupidity of patriotism and war saying that "man is the only animal that blushes, or needs to."
So I say we prove that old Bushwacking Missouriian wrong. Let us drop the chanade and shrug our shoulders and say we are not now nor have we ever been perfect and that the invisible lines of the world will only become more and more visible with each hollered stanza and each ear-splittingly screeched chorus.
We are one world despite our enso-old delusions to the contrary. Somebody should write a song about that or at least a snappy jingle that can be played before the Super Bowl.

CHINA
Families blame country leaders for trapped miners
Associated Press
Rescue workers attempt to plug a breach in a dike that broke last Friday, resulting in flood water flowing into the Huayuan Mining Co. coal mine in Xintai, in eastern China. Angry relatives protested and demanded answers Sunday as救難 efforts sputtered ahead for 181 trapped miners.
BY CHARLES HUTZLER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
XINTAI, China - Fear of flooding forced several coal mines to suspend production in eastern China last week, officials said Monday, raising questions about why 181 miners who became trapped when a dike broke continued to work.
Rescue workers pumped water from the Huayuan Mining Co. mine on Monday, but hopes were fading quickly for the 172 workers trapped three days earlier when the dike on the Wen River split open under heavy rains, the state-run Xinhua News Agency said. Another nine were trapped in another mine in the area.
A group of about eight relatives of Huaytan miners smashed windows and overturned a desk at a mining company office before storming the main compound, where they staged a sit-down protest. It was the most violent display by families desperate for word on their loved ones.
They demanded that Huavuan officials, who have been tightlipped with information on rescue efforts, give them updates three times a day.
Liu Xinjia, whose brother is believed to be among the missing, left the demonstration in a huff, shouting, "the leaders don't do anything!"
The rest were eventually escorted out.
The area in Shandong province
nearly 370 miles southeast of Beijing is pockmarked with mines. Several other mines stopped production Friday, hours before the dike burst.
Wang Dequan, a government official in the city of Taian, which oversees Xintai, the area where Huayuan is located, said smaller mines stopped work during heavy rains because they lack the safety equipment that larger mines like the Huayuan mine have.
"After the incident, we received a notice from the city administration for coal mine safety that production should be suspended at all mines in Xintai," a said a man at the administrative office of the state-owned Xintai Wenhe Coal Mine, who gave only his surname, Wang.
Rescue officials and state media have given no indication if the trapped miners are still alive.
"We've determined the general location of the miners, the general area. There's still some hope," said Bu Changsheng, a water engineer-ing expert involved in the rescue. "The water level has already started to fall."
Four industrial pumps were in place and two more were expected to be operational by Monday night. Officials were trying to deploy them deep into the shaft but had to drill holes in some places to get the pumps in.
Bu said it would take two days for the pumps to reach the bottom of the mine.

Not long after shooting carbon monoxide leak sickens five students
BY SUE LINDSEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. — A Virginia Tech campus still reeling from the deaths of 32 people at the hands of a student gunman last spring began its fall semester Monday amid another tragedy: a carbon monoxide leak at an off-campus apartment left five roommates hospitalized, two in critical condition.
On campus Monday morning, the school routine was back as thousands of Virginia Tech students hustled off to their first classes of the semester.
The leak appeared to be from a faulty valve in a gas water heater in the apartment the students shared, Blacksburg Police Capt. Bruce Bradbery said.
Two students from the apartment complex remained in critical condition Monday at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville, a spokeswoman said. Their three roommates were in stable condition at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. Eighteen other people sickened by the carbon monoxide were treated Sunday and released, Blacksburg police said.
The leak was discovered Sunday morning after a neighbor complained of fumes, just as Virginia Tech was preparing to dedicate a memorial to the 27 students and five faculty members killed April 16 by Seung-Hui Cho.

Virginia Tech students, dealing with another tragedy this fall, walk past Norris Hall, the site of 32 killings last April.
The 32 stones engraved with the names of those killed replaced smaller stones that a student group placed in a semicircle in front of the administration building right after the killings.
"The spirit and resilience of the Virginia Tech community have amazed the world," university president Charles Steger told more than 10,000 at the memorial dedication. "As the academic year begins, we must maintain that optimism."

Fans probably best remember Lee for his last-second shot in the 2003 National Championship game that Syracuse's Hakim Warrick blocked, ruining Kansas' chance for a tie. But Lee had plenty of other memorable (and happier) moments. Here are two:
» Lee had his breakout game sophomore year against Oregon in his hometown of Portland. He scored 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds in a close loss.
» Junior guard Brandon Rush might want to take notes from Lee about how to return from injury. In his first game back after being hurt for nine games, Lee scored a career-high 16 points in a victory against Kansas State.

QB battle brings up interesting questions about life
NIMS 2013
BY RUSTIN DODD
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
RDOOD@KANSAN.COM
Are you a Reesing guy or a Meier guy?
It's just that simple. Do you know which one you are?
Since Coach Mark Mangino broke the news that Todd Reesing will be the man under center for Kansas against Central Michigan on the home-opener on Sept. 1, everyone and their math tutor has weighed in on the subject. You've heard the party lines from each side.
A Reesing guy may say, "Reesing just has that charisma — that pizzazz — and that can't be measured in height or 40 time. Did you see that run against Colorado?"
A Meier fan might reply, "Yeah, but Meier is just a physical specimen. He has all the tools to succeed. Why should he be benched after setting the Kansas freshman record for touchdown passes?"
It's time for the inhabitants of the Phog nation to pick a side, Reesing or Meier. It's sometimes tough to tell. Do you enjoy charming Texas bravado, or laid-back Kansas hospitality? Here are a few helpful hints to let you know which one you are:
If you are a Reesing guy, your favorite football movie is "Varsity Blues." If you're a Meier guy, your favorite football movie is "Remember the Titans."
If you are a Reesing guy, you dig Angelina Jolie. If you are a Meier guy, you're still crying about Jennifer Aniston getting shafted by Brad Pitt.
If you are a Reesing guy, your favorite Vince Vaughn movie is "Old School." If you are a Meier guy, you still claim that Vince Vaughn peaked in "Swingers." Come on, has he changed characters since?
If you are a Reesing guy, you think Phil Mickelson is the most underrated athlete in the world. If you are a Meier guy, you think that Mickelson is a choker with a weight problem. Phil, the weight room is that way.
If you are a Reesing guy, you think that Stone Cold Steve Austin is an American hero. If you are a Meier guy, you contend that The Rock will always be The People's Champ.
If you are a Reesing guy, you enjoy Wednesday nights at The Hawk and a quick session in the Boom-Boom Room. If you are a Meier guy, you enjoy sipping on Boulevard Wheat at The Wheel while jamming out to Billy Joel on the jukebox.

FOOTBALL
Pressure to win increases for Mangino Lew Perkins supports coach so far,but will evaluate job after season
BY THOR NYSTROM
tnystrom@kansan.com
KU's football coach signed a contract extension before last year that locked him up until 2010, with an annual guaranteed salary of $1.5 million plus incentives. A disappointing 6-6 finish in 2006 has increased media speculation that Mangino's job could be in jeopardy if the team does not reach this year's postseason.
Mark Mangino isn't currently on the hot seat. But to keep it that way, the Athletics Department expects improvement this year.
Mangino has undisputed made the team more competitive than they were during the Terry Allen era (1997-2001). Mangino has made the Jayhawks bowl-eligible in three of the past four seasons. Allen's Jayhawks were never bowl-eligible in any of his five
seasons.
The biggest problem with a direct comparison is the vastly different programs that each inherited. Allen's first year came after Glen Mason bolted for the University of Minnesota.
A closer look at it ever, gives credence to Mangino's job security. Allen was fired after a 20-33 record at Kansas. Mangino, in five seasons, has a 25-35 record at the University.
A closer look at the numbers,however, gives credence to speculation about
"Mark Mangino and his staff have pulled the KU program up from an extremely low point to a point where we are respected as a team."
Mason led the Jayhawks to a 10-2 record and top-10 finish in 1995 and a berth in the Aloha Bowl in Honolulu in 1995, the year before his departure. He left a roster that was considered to be filled with talent. Mangino inherited a team in 2002 that hadn't had a winning season since that 1995 campaign and a roster that appeared

Broncos trade lineman to Raiders for draft pick
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos found a surprising trade partner to unload defensive tackle Gerard Warren — the rival Oakland Raiders.
The Broncos shipped Warren to the Raiders on Monday for an undisclosed 2008 draft pick.
Just one year ago, Warren was deemed the Broncos' best defensive linemen as evidenced by the six-year, $36 million contract he signed before injuries to both big toes led to an unproductive 2006 season.
This year, he didn't fit in the system put in place by the new defensive boss Jim Bates, which requires large interior linemen who hold the point of attack rather than penetrate.
Warren, 6-foot-4, 325 pounds,
is a seventh-year pro who spent the past two seasons in Denver after he was acquired in a trade with Cleveland in 2005. The Browns made him the third overall pick in the 2001 draft out of Florida.
Warren had 51 tackles and $2 \frac{1}{2}$ sacks last season and never regained his strength and stamina after a toe injury in training camp hobbled him all year.
The Broncos left him behind when they opened the exhibition season at San Francisco and again when they spent a week in Dallas practicing with the Cowboys before their preseason game Saturday night.
There was some speculation, however, that the Broncos might ditch their plan to trade or release him after the defense played so poorly in San Francisco and Dallas.

Beckham finally bending it
Eye on the ball
BY BETH HARRIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
His timing was impeccable.
Just when Beckham mania appeared to be fading, the English superstar revived it by scoring his first goal and notching three assists while playing major minutes in two games last week.
Beckham's first goal for the Galaxy came in a 2-0 SuperLiga victory over D.C. United last Wednesday, his first start for his new team.
That famous bending free kick led to a fresh round of next-day Becks highlights on everything from
"I've scored a lot of important goals in my career, big goals in my career, and this ranks among them," he said. "I wanted to get off to a good start with the team and with the fans."
"Oh, yeah, there's tremendous pressure," Galaxy general manager Alexi Lalas said. "We're not naive to the fact that a lot of people want to see him and that there's a lot of people buying tickets specifically to see him."
Then he drew 66,237 to Giants Stadium for his first Major League Soccer start. Beckham set up two goals, but the Galaxy lost 5-4 to the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
ESPNs "SportsCenter" to the tabloid show "Inside Edition."
England captain was out for much of his first month with a left ankle injury.
Instead of "Bend It Like Beckham," it was more like "Bench It Like Beckham."
The initial Beckham buzz had quickly died down because the former
He played a total of 37 minutes in two token appearances in his first eight games, disappointing fans in sellout crowds who had to buy tickets for multiple games to see him.
His first extended road trip drew an average of 42,211 fans to Toronto, Washington, New England and New York, although he sat out in Toronto and New England.
Lalas made no apologies for aggressively marketing Beckham despite his injury that occurred a month before he joined the team.
"When you buy a ticket to see the Galaxy, it says L.A. Galaxy on that ticket. It doesn't say any of our players' names and we can't guarantee that any of them will be out there," he said.

Refresh your team with these players
Breckunitch suggests Jones, Davis, Leinart as 'hidden gems' that could strengthen your fantasy lineup

RB THOMAS JONES,
NY JETS
Naps are meant to refresh the body. There is nothing better than taking a nap in the afternoon to regain some energy. These players will refresh your fantasy team and help you regain the fantasy championship in your league.
Why would a first-year starter in the NFL be ranked higher than
the player he backed up in the preliminary fantasy rankings? I don't know, but that's the case with Cedric Benson and Thomas Jones.
According to Scouts Inc., Chicago's Benson will be a better fantasy back this year. Yet, as of now he hasn't proven himself in the NFL, and Jones has rushed for more than 1,000 yards the past two seasons and 948 yards in his first season in Chicago.
But the Bears decided to trade Jones to the New York Jets this offseason.
The move will be extremely beneficial to Jones, who can balance out a passing game led by inconsistent and often-injured quarterback Chad Pennington. The jets' offensive scheme should make more of Jones's elusiveness and catching ability than Chicago's simple running style.

Vernon Davis was highly touted coming into his rookie season last year. But an injury and the presence of veteran tight end Eric Johnson diminished his role. Now, Johnson is in New Orleans and Davis is healthy.
The addition of Darrell Jackson and the emergence of Frank Gore should ease Davis into his first year as the featured tight end.
San Francisco drafted Davis for his athletic ability, and with the depth at tight end this year you can wait awhile to draft Davis. Davis should post big numbers in his first true season as a starter.
QB MATT LEINART ARIZONA
Matt Leinart fell to the 10th overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. The situation couldn't have
worked out better for the prospective top-five pick. He wound up in a pass-oriented Arizona offense. The team had just signed free agent Edgerrin James to boost the running game.
Leinart has the job, and he has two of the best targets in the NFL. Larry Fitzgerald and
Anquan Boldin, to throw to in games. The multiple tools he has on offense, plus the hiring of new coach Ken Whisenhunt, should help Leinart mature into a star in the NFL.
Leinart threw for 2,547 yards last year, with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Expect for his numbers to increase drastically this season.
Everyone knows who the star players are in the NFL. Take some pride in trying to find hidden gems in your fantasy draft. These players are a good place to start.

Kansas Crew captain Frank Waugh, El Dorado senior, recruits for the upcoming on season Monday in front of Strong Hall. The varsity team began practice last week, but novice will begin next Monday. Waugh said many recruits are freshmen looking for something new to compete in.
BY BRYAN WHEELER bwheeler@kansan.com
The Kansas Crew team will be on campus this week to recruit men and women to join the coed rowing team.
The meetings this week will give interested students an introduction to the club team.
Jordan Murray, a Varsity club member, said the club offered a "great chance to participate in a sport that is not common in the Midwest and to get to know a lot of new people and make friends."
The crew club competes in races, known as regattas, in the fall and the spring against Big 12 schools such as K-State, Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Oklahoma State and other teams outside the region such as Harvard, the Navy and the Army.
The club offers an opportunity
for men and women to stay in shape, join a traveling sports club, meet new people and also learn a new sport.
Varsity men's captain Frank Waugh, El Dorado senior, said the rowing club was open to both men and women looking to try a competitive sport. Most people who try out have no rowing experience, Waugh said.
The Kansas Crew club was organized in 1977 and is one of the largest clubs on campus.
The club will be holding meetings at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 22, and Thursday, Aug. 23, in the conference room on the second floor of the Student Recreation Fitness Center. The club will be recruiting members today from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in front of Strong Hall. New members will start practice on Monday, Aug. 27.

BIG 12
SU
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Coach Gene Chikiz takes control of the Iowa State football team this year after running the defenses of undefeated Texas and Auburn teams earlier this decade. Chikiz's team lacks talent on both sides of the ball, and its offensive and defensive lines will rely on several junior college transfers.
Iowa State could struggle
New coach must navigate difficult conference schedule
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Dan McCarney produced an extensive list of achievements as coach at Iowa State. McCarney was the longest-tenured coach in the Big 12, spending 12 years with the Cyclones. He led Iowa State to its first bowl game and got Iowa State to as high as No.9 in the national polls.
OFFENSE
But for the first time since 1994, the Cyclones will have a new face on the sidelines. Defensive guru Gene Chizik takes control of the program with aspirations to mold it into a team similar to the undefeated Auburn and Texas teams he worked for as a defensive coordinator earlier this decade.
Senior quarterback Bret Meyer has been a consistent three-year starter for the Cyclones. Meyer is already Iowa State's career passing leader and has just fewer than 8,000 all-purpose yards since his freshman year in 2004.
Meyer has two proven targets to throw to. Senior Todd Blythe is 6-foot-5 and is known for being one of the Big 12's most physical receivers, with hands as trustworthy as super glue.
Junior R.J. Sumrall is the faster receiver and has football in his genes. Indianapolis Colts All-Pro wide receiver Reggie Wayne is Sumrall's cousin.
The running game may not be

as reliable for the Cyclones. Junior Jason Scales has talent, but injuries have all but ruined his collegiate career thus far. Junior college phenom J.J. Bass is expected to in part because of Scales's injuries.
Bass isn't the only junior college transfer the Cyclones will depend on in 2007. Iowa State loses all but one starter from last year's offensive line. Junior college guard Lee Tibbs and tackle Doug Dedrick must contribute immediately in order for the line to be at its full strength.
DEFENSE
The offensive line's predicament is a lot like the situation on the defensive line. The Cyclones lose their top two defensive linemen but hope to minimize the damage with junior college transfers.
Junior Michael Tate and sophomore Christopher Lyle, who both played in junior college last year, will be a part of the rotation although they may not start.
Senior linebacker Alvin Bowen is an All-Big 12 performer. Bowen also is the leading returning tackler in the nation, with 12.9 per game last season.
Senior Ion Banks had 99 tackles last season and will start alongside Bowen. Senior strong safety Caleb Berg is a headhunter over the middle and is the leader of a questionable secondary.
The Cyclones hope quantity is better than quality with their defensive backs. Defensive coordinator Wayne Bolt said they would rely on a number of different players, and mostly all of the starting jobs were up for grabs in the secondary.
SEASON OUTLOOK
The Cyclones have an excellent chance to start the season 4-0 against their nonconference opponents. Their only tough nonconference game is against Iowa, but it is in Iowa State's home of Ames, Iowa, this season, giving Iowa State an advantage.
The Big 12 schedule should be much more difficult for the Cyclones. Texas and Oklahoma both travel to Ames in October. Iowa State also has to play at Missouri and Nebraska.
Chizik is one of the nation's upand-coming coaches. A lack of talented players in the trenches on both sides of the ball, however, makes it unlikely that he will be able to engineer more than an upset or two in his first season.

he could come back to coach if his playing career didn't pan out.
LEE (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Recruiting experts never picked Lee to be a major contributor for Kansas. He came to Kansas in 2001, best known as former Jayhawk Aaron Miles' high school teammate, and rarely played his freshman season. Then the hard work showed.
The next year he became the top three-point shooter on a team that made the national championship game. His final two years were a mix of starts, injuries, a coaching change, unlikely victories and a few disappointing losses. Lee's seen it all — and that, he said, gives him the necessary experience to teach the players.
advice for when guys get frustrated with not playing enough, or feel like they should be doing this, or not getting along with other players," Lee said. "If the guys can get that message, they'll be fine."
"I could just be that piece of
Lee's career may have been unpredictable, but he wasn't. He prided himself on staying consistent. That meant working harder than talented teammates and opponents, a habit Lee also wants to teach to the current lavhawks.
"I always felt I wasn't the most gifted player on the floor," he said, "not the most athletic, not going to score the most points, not going to play all the minutes. But I can show them the way to approach the game. I'm talking about going to class, being on time and working hard every day."
If the work ethic Lee had as a player carries over to his coaching career, his dream of being a head coach could come relatively soon. He said he always knew he'd be a coach someday.
This doesn't come as a surprise, because Lee has been around coaching all his life. His father coached, and he learned from two of college basketball's best in Self and former Kansas coach Roy Williams.
The only question for Lee is where he wants to coach. He's an assistant at the Division I level, but he said he's not sure whether he wants to end up there. The high school ranks sound more appealing to him right now, he said.
He's back home.
But all that can wait. For now, Lee is back in Lawrence and enjoying his time as a coach and graduate student. His frustration with the sport is gone.
"I love the game of basketball," Lee said in a release. "It just feels really good to be back. It fell in love with Kansas from day one, and I will be a part of Kansas until I die."

and away, and I think that's one of the biggest things that will keep us in the hunt in the Big 12 North."
One area where the Jayhawks must improve is winning on the road. The team has been stellar in Memorial Stadium during the past four years, posting a 19-7 record. Playing away from their home field has been a house of horrors, where the 'Hawks are 4-18 during that time.
"None of us are prepared to say right now that any coach has to do this, this and this to keep his job," Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said. "That isn't how we operate. Lew (Perkins) will evaluate coaches and their programs at the end of every year to see where they are, but we aren't going to say win this many games or do this or that before a season starts."
KU coach comparison
While Kansas has shown signs of taking the next step, it has been a while since the team experienced pronounced success. Both of the bowl games in the Mangino era were before Christmas. The Jayhawks haven't played in a post-Christmas bowl since 1981. They haven't won eight or more games in a season since 1995.
The Athletics Department is looking for that type of improvement this year.

We are going to be supportive of him, and we'll wait until the end of the season to answer that question."

Marchiony pointed out that the program has been much more competitive against superior competition while under Mangino's direction that they were under Allen.
"Mark Mangino and his staff have pulled the KU program up from an extremely low point to a point where we are respected as a team and are in the discussion of teams that can make noise in the Big 12 conference," Marchiony said. "That is a huge jump from where we were pre-Mangino. Now the job is to take it to the next level."

BY LARRY O'DELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. — Michael Vick's lawyer said Monday the NFL star will plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges, putting the Atlanta Falcons quarterback's career in jeopardy and leaving him subject to a possible prison term.
Edited by Jeff Briscoe
"After consulting with his family over the weekend, Michael Vick asked that I announce today that he has reached an agreement with federal prosecutors regarding the charges pending against him," lead defense attorney Billy Martin said in a statement.
The offense is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal sentencing guidelines most likely would call for less. Vick's plea hearing is Aug. 27.
"Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made. Michael wishes to apologize again to everyone who has been hurt by this matter."
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has barred Vick from the Falcons' training camp but has withheld further action while the league conducts its own investigation.
Phillips, Peace and Tony Taylor, who pleaded guilty last month, also
Three of Vick's original co-defendants already pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against him if the case went to trial. Quanis Phillips of Atlanta and Purnell Peace of Virginia Beach signed statements that said the 27-year-old quarterback participated in executing at least eight underperforming dogs by various means, including drowning and hanging.
sald Vick provided virtually all of the gambling and operating, funds for his "Bad Newz Kennels" operation in rural Virginia, not far from Vick's hometown of Newport News.
"We totally condemn the conduct outlined in the charges, which is inconsistent with what Michael Vick previously told both our office and the Falcons," the league said in a statement. The NFL added that it has asked the Falcons "to continue to refrain from taking action pending a decision by the commissioner."
Vick is charged with conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiracy to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture. He pleaded not guilty last month and vowed to clear his name at a November trial.
Martin's announcement came as a grand jury that could add new charges met in private. Prosecutors had said that a superseding indictment was in the works, but Vick's plea most likely means he will not face additional charges.
The case began April 25 when investigators conducting a drug search at a massive home Vick built in Surry County found 66 dogs, some of them injured, and items typically used in dogfighting. They included a "rape stand" that holds aggressive dogs in place for mating and a "breakstick" used to pry open a dog's mouth.
The gambling allegations alone could trigger a lifetime ban under the NFLs personal conduct policy.
Vick contended he knew nothing about a dogfighting operation at the home, where one of his cousins lived, and said he rarely visited. The former Virginia Tech star also blamed friends and family members for taking advantage of his generosity and pledged to be more scrupulous.
The July 17 indictment said dogs that lost fights or fared poorly in test fights were sometimes executed by hanging, electrocution or other brutal means. The grisly details fueled public protests against Vick and cost him some of his lucrative endorsement deals.

Inexperienced receiving group boasts depth

Junior Dexton Fields leads an inexperienced but deep group of receivers this season. Fields led the team with 45 catches in 2006. Fields will become the team's top possession receiver.
Fields, Henry will lead pass-catchers but younger back-ups also capable
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer Asher Fusco is previewing KU football, position by position. Tomorrow's edition will profile the offensive line.
WIDE RECEIVER
With most of the preseason media attention focused on the Todd Reesing versus Kerry Meier saga, one important offensive unit has flown under the radar — the receivers.
Kansas lost leading receiver Brian Murph to graduation but could field an improved fleet in 2007. Depth is the calling card of the 2007 group. Quarterback Todd Reesing will throw to a largely inexperienced but versatile and athletic group of passcatchers this season.
"I like some of the playmakers we have," coach Mark Mangino said. "I like the guys who have been around and are developing. I also like some of the young kids."
The "guys who have been around" are junior Dexton Fields and senior Marcus Henry.
Fields lined up as the team's slot receiver instead of going out wide in preseason practices. At 5-foot-11 and 205 pounds, the Dallas native will replace Murph as the Jayhawks main possession receiver. He pulled in a team-high 45 catches in 2006.
Mangino tabbed Henry as the team's starting "X" receiver before the spring game. In other words, Henry should be Kansas' No. 1 option on the outside this season. The 6-4 senior starred in the spring game, gaining 150 yards on six receptions.
WIDE RECEIVER
Fields and Henry are the most experienced wide receivers on the roster, but thanks to several years of strong recruiting at the position, Kansas also has several young receivers challenging for playing time.
"We've had talent in the past, but

Senior Derek Fine returns for his third season as starting tight end. Fine, a team captain, has shown great consistency during his career, and his production could increase this year.
now we have more," offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said. "If a starter gets tired or hurt, we can bring in that second guy and there isn't a big dropoff. We don't have to rely on one guy to play every snap all year."
The youngest receivers in the running are true freshmen Dezmon Briscoe and Jonathan Wilson. Briscoe and Wilson made favorable impressions on the coaching staff early in the preseason and will most likely not redshirt this season.
"Briscoe and Wilson are talented young guys with tremendous football aptitude." Mangino said. "We're really amazed with the things they understand about this game already."

Briscoe, from Dallas, is highly regarded by the offensive coaching staff. Warinner said Briscoe excelled in the first few practices and Mangino recently said the lanky freshman was making a case to earn a start job.
season after switching from cornerback to receiver in the spring. When asked about the receiving corps, junior cornerback Aqib Talib said Brown had played well and displayed a bit of swagger in practice.
Two older receivers also have a shot at significant playing time in 2007 — junius Marcus Herford and Raymond Brown. Herford is one of the most athletic lajayhows and was an All-Big 12 second team selection for his work as a kick returner last season.
TIGHT END
Senior Derek Fine has a grasp on the starting tight end job for the third consecutive season. Fine, a team captain, has been one of the Jayhawks' most consistent players throughout his career. He utilizes his 250-pound body as a powerful run-blocker and his soft hands as a sturdy, pass-catching option.
Brown occasionally worked with the first team in practice this pre-
Fine has recorded 50 catches and six touchdowns in the past two seasons and should see his numbers increase in an offense that could rely heavily on rollout pass plays.
The Jayhawk receivers are not the flashiest players on the team, but they could be some of the most productive. The youth and athleticism of players like Briscoe and Wilson combined with the stability and reliability of Fine and Fields make the receivers a special group. Just ask one of the players responsible for covering them in practice:
"They've got good size, they know how to go to get the ball, and they're fast," Talib said. "If things play out we should have a pretty explosive offense."

Speaker focuses on real issues
Eight years ago, Bobbie-Frances McDonald left Lawrence and traveled to Africa. A retired nurse, she wanted to help bring medical assistance to Sudan. When she returned, she felt her efforts had done little good.
McDonald then founded Sudan Advocacy Action Forum, and she has given lectures at elementary schools and campuses across the country. She has also attended meetings at the United Nations and in Washington, D.C. McDonald will give a lecture on Sudan at 12:00 p.m. today at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Center.
McDonald said she wants to focus college students'attentions on all of the issues facing the region.

Stephan backs medical marijuana
Bob Stephan, the state's longest-serving attorney general, announced his advocacy for the legalization of medical marijuana Friday. Stephan suffers from stage four lymphocytic lymphoma. Although he denies using the drug himself, Stephan wants Kansans to have the right to do so. The Kansas Compassionate Care Coalition, with support from Stephan, plans to lobby for a bill in the upcoming legislative session. The coalition reports that 12 states allow medical marijuana.
Rep. Tom Sloan (R-Lawrence) said the topic would be popular because of the controversy surrounding the drug.
Sixty-two percent of Kansas residents would not be opposed to a new law allowing medical marijuana according to a 2006 poll by Jayhawk Consulting Services.

According to police reports, burglaries broke into Ries' house at 1121 Ohio St. Aug. 14 and Aug. 18. During the burglaries two laptops were stolen. Ries lives with 11 of her sorority sisters.
"We've lived in Kappa Kappa Gamma for years," Ries said, "and had been excited to move out for our senior year. But this has been a disaster."
The burglary on Ries' house wasn't an isolated incident. Thieves also reportedly stole a flat-screen TV from the house next door, 1115 Ohio St., on Aug. 15. The connections between the houses went deeper than the location: Eight Kappa Kappa Gamma members live at 1115 Ohio St.
Ries said that during Rush Week no one was at the house or the house next door from about 7 a.m. until midnight.
She said the police expected the perpetrators knew that they'd be gone most of the day and thought the houses would be easy targets.
The Lawrence Police Department would not identify any suspects, but Kim Murphree, the department's spokeswoman, said police always consider common perpetrators when

The burglars who came to Ries' house Saturday night, around 9:30, broke
through a window and kicked down four doors before stealing a laptop. Ries said she and her housemates arrived home early from their sorority house, and she thinks they may have scared the burglar's away.
To prevent something like this from happening again, Ries said they are getting bars put over windows, motion lights, extra blinds and a security system courtesy of their landlord, Serina Hearn.
Chalfant, who has the same landlord, said she gave them a new TV and planned to install a security system as well. Even with the added security, Chalfant said she would never feel as safe as she did before the burglary.
"Our house is a scary house now," Ries said, "but we don't care."
"It's very scary," she said. "It's the last thing you want to be dealing with right now. The last thing you want to be worrying about."

The film focuses on William C. Quantrill's
raid on Lawrence during the Civil War. The raid is considered to be the bloodiest civilian attack of the war.

Presidential hopefuls speak to VFW
》 ELECTION 2008
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Many veterans attending a national convention disagreed with Sen. Barack Obama about the Iraq war but warmed to the Democratic presidential candidate Tuesday for promising to improve services for them.
But former Sen. Fred Thompson, who's expected to enter the Republican race next month, said those issues aren't as pressing as keeping Americans secure. He said the U.S. needs to rebuild its military to fight global terrorism because leaders "took a holiday" in the 1990s after the end of the Cold War.
Like Sen. John McCain, another GOP hopeful who spoke Monday, Thompson said U.S.-led forces are
making progress in quelling violence and chaos in Iraq and should be given more time. And, like Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the leading Democratic contender who also addressed the convention Monday, Obama said he favors a careful withdrawal.
Obama and Clinton also said they'd overhaul the Department of Veterans Affairs. Clinton said shed appoint a top White House staffer to handle veterans' issues, while Obama said his veterans' agency would have the same stature as the Department of Defense.
"No veteran should have to fill out a 23-page claim to get care or wait months, even years, to get an appointment at the VA," Obama said, drawing loud applause and a few cheers from hundreds of VFW members. "When a veteran is denied
care, we're all dishonored."
Chris Taylor, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, said portraying the Department of Veterans Affairs under President Bush as poorly run represents "campaign politics."
"There's nothing really positive that they can say about him because they're vying for the far left vote," Taylor said.
And Thompson told VFW members: "You'll never be bereft of having a politician in your face with his litany of issues and talking points, with all the things he or she is going to solve. But unless we have security for this nation, unless we can protect our families and ourselves and our government, there are no solutions to any of these other problems."
Still, some VFW members were receptive to remarks about improving services. Walter Siler, of Miami, a former army field artillery and transportation specialist who served in Vietnam, said he's had trouble obtaining benefits after suffering from diabetes and losing the hearing in his left ear.
"The service-connected issues are the most important issues," Siler said.
And Lawrence LeFebvre, a former Army chaplain's assistant from Kansas City, Mo., who also served in Vietnam said: "You've got, certainly, an elder group here that relies on the VA system for health care, and when it's lacking, they're all affected."
Clinton said the nation needs more VA hospitals, and Obama proposed increased staffing for programs and better mental health screening and treatment.

TOPEKA — The state's top educator says Kansas faced a record teacher shortage two months ago but hopes the situation will improve with the start of the new school year.
Education Commissioner Alexa Posny, who appeared before a legislative committee Tuesday, said there were 1,144 vacancies in June among 37,000 teaching positions.
"That is the greatest number of vacancies we have seen at that point in time," Posny said. "We are working to fill the vacancies."
She said education officials won't know how many vacancies there are at the start of the 2007-08 school year until they check the 296 school districts next month. Each district decides when its school year begins although most already have started.

Medical Marijuana sparks debate
BY SASHA ROE
sroe@kansan.com
The state's longest-serving attorney general, Bob Stephan, announced his support for the legalization of medical marijuana in a press conference last Friday. Stephan said he supported changing the state law so that Kansas physicians had the right to recommend their patients the use of medical marijuana.
Stephan served as the Kansas Attorney General from 1979 until 1995. He was diagnosed with stage four lymphocytic lymphoma at age 39. In a statement Stephan said he had advocated medical marijuana since 1983.
"Let me make clear that I am in no way advocating drug legalization." Stephan said in the statement. "But I also do not believe that the state should preempt the role of the physician when it comes to deciding what's best for ill Kansans."
Stephan has joined forces with the Kansas Compassionate Care Coalition which seeks the legalization of medical marijuana. The coalition plans to lobby for a bill in the upcoming legislative session. Laura Green, director, said the group formed within the past year because of an overwhelming response from
Kansas resident. She said support from forme attorney general Stephan was a very important addition to their work.
"He is a very respected politician that served the public for 16
years," Green said. "He is also a republican, that's important in a conservative state like Kansas."
"It would be a pharmaceutical product like any other that could be monitored and controlled."
Green said right now the group is building membership and gaining support. She said
mittee bill out the legalization of medical marijuana would be formed in the upcoming Legislative session. He said a proposed bill would cause very divided views in the House of Representatives and Senate.
the ultimate goal was to have a bill introduced and have a fair hearing in a committee.
TOM SLOAN State Representative
Rep. Tom Sloan (R-Lawrence) said the issue would be important in the scheme of health care, but wouldn't be as prominent as issues such as greater insurance coverage for Kansans. Sloan said it would be a hot topic because of the controversy that came with the issue of medical marijuana.
"Because it is a banned, controlled substance there will be larger discussion," Sloan said.
Sloan said it was possible a com-
However, Sloan said he believed Kansas citizens would be fairly open to the issue.
"I don't think most citizens would be too worried," Sloan said. "It would be a pharmaceutical product like any
other that could be monitored and regulated."
"I do try to keep an open mind," Landwehr said. "But from a federal perspective I can't see it being legal."
Rep. Brenda Landwehr, (R-Wichita), chair of the health and human services committee, said she probably wouldn't support a possible bill.
A poll done in 2006 by Jayhawk Consulting Services showed 62 percent of Kansas residents would not be opposed to a new law allowing medical marijuana if it were recommended by a physician.
Betre Hulser, Tupoku is one of those supporters. Hulser's son, Mike, suffers from multiple sclerosis. She tried to get a similar bill to pass in 1995. She said she wished legislators could see the benefits marijuana had on neurological diseases, and the cost of Mike's pharmaceutical bills. Hulser said at one point Mike's medication cost about $3,000 a month. She said she hoped legislators would understand this issue was about providing help to Kansans suffering from painful diseases.
"I am not in support of recreational drugs whatsoever," Hulser said. "I just hope to see it passed for medicinal purposes."
Under current Kansas law all marjuana including medicinal marjuana is illegal.
The Kansas Compassionate Care Coalition said 12 states have produced laws that allow medicinal marijuana.
"I think the politicians are one step behind on this issue," Green said.
Green said Stephan's press conference was just the beginning of many events this fall. She said supporters could sign the coalition's Statement of Principle on the Web site, www. ksccc.org.

Officials contemplate reducing troops in Iraq
BY ROBERT BURNS ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — U.S. military officials are narrowing Iraq strategy options and appear to be focusing on reducing the U.S. combat role in 2008 while increasing training of Iraqi forces, a senior military official told The Associated Press on Monday.

a plan for a substantial withdrawal of forces. But officials are planning possible offers to Turkey and Jordan on using their territory to move some troops out of Iraq, the official said. The main exit would remain Kuwait, but more routes make it easier and more secure for U.S. troops leaving western and northern Iraq.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, emphasized that the discussions do not prejudge decisions yet to be made by President Bush. Those decisions include how long to maintain the current U.S. troop buildup.
It is anticipated that the five Army brigades that were sent to Baghdad this year will be withdrawn by late next summer. But it is far less clear whether the Bush administration will follow that immediately with additional drawdowns, as many Democrats in Congress are advocating.
Bush has mentioned publicly that he likes the idea, first proposed late last year by the Iraq Study Group, of switching the emphasis of U.S. military efforts from mainly combat to support roles. But he also has said that this shouldn't happen until Baghdad is stable enough for Iraqi political leaders to make hard choices about reconciling rival interests among Sunnis, Shites and Kurds.

Group shows movies to teach consumers
》 FILM FESTIVAL
BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com
Care to enter The Meatrix? Want to meet Frankensteer? Liberty Hall will give students the chance do both while digesting some food for thought Thursday.
Sustainable Table, a group dedicated to teaching consumers about sustainable food, is stopping in Lawrence as part of "The Eat Well Guided Tour of America." The group will join Local Burger and Films for Action to present Rural Route Film Festival's "Go Organizable" film series.
The series consists of four short films: "The Meatatrix," "Frankensteer,"
"Back to the Land... Again and Good Stewards." The documentaries deal with issues ranging from the grisly side of big farms to community agriculture. Local Burger will serve free organic and locally farmed food at the event.
According to Sustainable Table's Web site, sustainable agriculture is a movement involving raising food in a way that is not only healthy for the consumer, but also respectful to the animals. It also involves finding ways to benefit rural farmers and minimizing harm to the environment.
Hillary Brown, manager of Local Burger, said she thought everyone should be involved in the organic

Amy Harris, Overland Park senior, said she felt it was important for students to understand sustainable farming to help the environment.
"A lot of people haven't been educated on the little changes that can make a big difference," Harris said. "If students make those changes, it could create a domino effect throughout the world."
The Go Organic! film series will start at 7 p.m. Thursday at Liberty Hall. Admission is $5.

Bush encourages government to improve
BY DEB RIECHMANN ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTEBELLO, Quebec
President Bush offered a tepid endorsement of the Iraqi government on Tuesday, yet brushed off a Democratic senator's call for the ouster of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Bush acknowledged his frustration with Iraqi leaders' inability to bridge political divisions, but he said only the Iraqi people can decide whether to sideline the troubled prime minister.
"Clearly, the Iraq government's got to do more," Bush said at the close of a two-day North American summit with the leaders of Mexico and Canada.

Senate Armed Services Committee, said there is broad frustration with inaction from Iraq's central governing the dynamic on the ground in Iraq?" Bush says in his prepared remarks. The White House released excerpts of the speech Tuesday evening.
On Monday,
Sen, Carl Levin,
D-Mich., chairman of the
ment. Levin, who recently returned from Iraq, urged the Iraqi Parliament to oust al-Maliki and replace his government with one that is less sectarian and more unifying.
And Sen. John Warner, R-Va., a former Armed Services Committee chairman and an influential voice on military affairs, joined with Levin in issuing a statement saying that while Bush's military buildup in Iraq had "produced some credible and positive results," the political outlook was dim.
Bush spoke at a news conference in Montebello, Quebec, with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper before flying back to the United States to visit Minneapolis for a fundraiser and update about the Interstate 35W bridge collapse.
Petraeus and Ryan Crocker; the
U. S. ambassador to Iraq, are to report to Congress before Sept. 15 about the impact of the troop build-up that Bush ordered in January. Their report will provide the basis for Bush's decisions about the way forward in Iraq in terms of troop levels and tactics.
Over the past year, Bush has tempered his endorsement of al-Maliki. When they met in Jordan last November, the president called al-Maliki "the right guy for Iraq." Now, he continually prods al-Maliki to do more to forge political reconciliation before the temporary military buildup ends.
"I think there's a certain level of frustration with the leadership in general, inability to work — come together to get, for example, an oil revenue law passed or provincial elections," Bush said.

Indian tribe promises protection Kaweahs allegedly sell memberships to illegal immigrant
LYNN BREZOSKY ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARLINGEN, Texas — An Indian tribe not recognized by the government sold memberships to illegal immigrants in a fraudulent scheme that promised protection from U.S. immigration laws, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott alleged Tuesday.
Abbott's office, which announced the Monday filing of a civil lawsuit against the Kawaeh Indian Nation Inc., of Wichita, Kan., said the group took up to $400 each from an unknown number of immigrants for the guarantee of a Social Security number and a "Certificate of Citizenship" card that brought protection from deportation proceedings.
The tribe told immigrants the card also would be good for U.S. citizenship if the Kawaeh nation gained federal recognition as an Indian tribe, Abbott said. The lawsuit seeks to stop what he alleges to be misleading recruitment and calls for a fine of up to $20,000 for each violation under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
"In reality, the card is legally ineffective and does not alter the purchaser's immigration status," Abbott said.
Abbott's lawsuit came amid reports that the tribe had complaints against
it from at least five states and was being investigated by a U.S. attorney in Kansas.

tribe's membership benefits.
"I know a lot of it is a misunderstanding because we are not doing anything wrong," said Middlebrook, who also serves as the tribe's secretary of records. "Everything we are doing here is legal and to benefit everybody in the tribe."
She referred further comment to Manuel Urbina, the tribe's spokesman and high chief. He did not immediately return a phone message Tuesday.
In an interview Monday, before the Texas filing became public, Uriana said the tribe is not really telling illegal immigrants that they cannot be deported, but giving them identification and a certificate that they can show officials as proof they are members of the tribe.
"There is nothing to hide. ... I wouldn't be doing it if it was illegal," Urbina said.
Tipton's phone had been disconnected, and Ramirez did not immediately return a call for comment.
The lawsuit alleges Webber promotes himself as the titular head of the tribe and Tipton its ambassador to Texas. Ramirez held himself out as a pastor who promoted the tribe's membership benefits to illegal immigrants, temporary residents, and other non-U.S. citizens in the Rio Grande Valley and elsewhere in the state.
Abbott spokesman Tom Kelley said it was unclear how many violations there were in Texas or how many people had joined the tribe.

MUSIC West sees Timberlake as biggest rival. inspiration
NEW YORK — Kanye West considers a certain "SexyBack" singer his biggest rival.
"My biggest inspiration and biggest competition is Justin Timberlake," the 29-year-old rapper tells XL magazine in its October issue, on newsstands Sept. 11. "He's the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level - black radio, white radio."
"If Justin hadn't come out and killed the game, I can't say that my album, singles and videos would be on the same level that they're on," he says. "We push each other. I look at me and Justin like Prince and Michael Jackson in their day."
A sly dig at 50 Cent? Earlier this month, the 31-year-old gangsta rapper, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson, promised to quit his solo career if West's new album, "Graduation," outsells his upcoming CD, "Curtis." Both albums are due out Sept. 11.
West, a six-time Grammy winner, tells XXL that he's "never cared about being No. 1." Record sales, he figures, aren't as important as how the music connects with people.
"I feel like my lyrics are, if not THE, then equal to, the realest lyrics out," he says. "I connected with so many people without talkin' about guns and drugs. ...It's harder to go to work 365 days than shoot a person in one day."
West realizes his flamboyant style and less-than-humble public behavior could hinder his chances for success.

AWARDS Fatone set to co-host red-carpet coverage
NEW YORK — Joey Fatone has signed on for red-carpet duty as co-host with Lisa Rinna of TV Guide Network's red-carpet cover of major awards shows.
Their first gig together: the Emmy Awards on Sept. 16.
"Joey is a top-notch professional with a natural likeability and great sense of humor, all of which are essential attributes of a red-carpet host," said TV Guide Network President Ryan O'Hara in a statement Tuesday.
"He will be a terrific complement to Lisa, who is also incredibly charismatic and brings a wealth of fashion savvy and insight," O'Hara said.
Fatone, 30, is host of NBC's sing-along variety game show, "The Singing Bee." He was part of boy band N'Sync, and has appeared in several Broadway musicals, including "Little Shop of Horrors."
In a statement, Fatone said he plans to make "the red carpet experience entertaining, spontaneous and most of all fun — not only for those walking the red carpet, but also for the fans watching at home."
He will co-host TV Guide's red-carpet coverage through 2008.

A pointless altercation ruins a night out
Confrontations in bars are becoming too routine in Lawrence
Ashley
ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
So it's Friday night, you're sitting there with your girls or boys, making a few decisions. Main one being: In or out? Once that is settled, you can move on to the next round of oh-so-important night making decisions. If you're going out, for one, where to go? Then the obvious: What to wear and perhaps what to drink on. Motivation behind these being, obviously, you want to have the cleanest-looking gear along with the most banging stilettos or kicks, while having a great time not being sick on what you chose to sip on for the evening. While this may appear to be what is on everyone's main agenda when they go out, after my experience a few weekends ago, I wonder what else is included in people's thought processes as they prepare for the night.
A few weekends ago, I went out with some of my friends around Lawrence. Being from Topeka, over the past couple of years, I have had to get used to the difference in environments that one encounters here in Lawrence versus in Topeka. Topeka does not have that many spots to go to, and although it is a college town, most bar-goers are local and the typical fights are because someone slept with someone's wife or is wearing the wrong color in the wrong side of town. That to me, is explainable.
When we went out a couple of weekends ago, my friends and I got into it with some other people at the bar. Over what, I'm still not sure. I had on some cute, white stilettos and had my hair down along with the other females I was with (one was celebrating her birthday). The guys were wearing white shoes and some new hats, and looked good. Our main purpose that night was to make the town blurry. The drama started, heated up, then ended just as quickly, with all of us getting dragged out by the police while the guys who started it stood there watching, still in the bar.
Now that you have the gist of what happened, let's break that down a bit more and try and understand it because this is where I get confused. When the arguments started, the people I was with tried to stop the fight from happening, while the other guys just continued to instigate and swing at us, including me, a female. Instead of the police taking the aggressors out of the bar, they took us out and handcuffed
some of my friends. We tried to explain ourselves. While I understand they were 'trying to do their job, I was wondering, "isn't part of their job getting all sides of the story and what went down rather than just making assumptions?"
Like I said, being from Topeka, there aren't that
DRAWING BOARD
many random bar fights; most conflicts are bigger issues that, if they do escalate, become much more serious instances. In our situation, I felt it was treated as just another typical night in downtown Lawrence, and that is what I think is the problem. By not digging into the dirt of what causes these little petty fights as the police see them, it allows them to become more serious. It allows people to go out and start stuff weekend after weekend without anything happening to them. These fights blow up into bigger instances is not just a Topeka problem.
Lawrence has experienced first-hand some of the instances when former basketball player J.R. Giddens' KU career ended over a bar fight that resulted in him getting stabbed. A couple of years ago a man was shot and killed in front of the Granada after a fight following a concert.
I would like to think, along with most people, that I just want to go out, chill and have a good time without any unnecessary drama and without having to be worried about who I might run into or people looking to start violence. From experience, I feel like most fights are not just random. I feel like some guys and women throw on the track pants or Nikes in anticipation of starting something.
Although some people don't take their bar fight preparation that far, the ones who just can't handle liquor without pushing someone or looking at someone wrong need to just stay home, because its not worth it. Why would you want to go out and ruin someone's night, possibly career, or even life, regardless of whether you had the intentions of doing so or not is beyond me? It's a new school year and new people. I say we all forget the dumb stuff, have a drink, pass out, go to class and do it all over again without skipping a beat or starting a fight. I think we all would have more enjoyable bar-going experiences, perhaps somewhat vague, but nonetheless less bruised and with a cleaner criminal record in the morning.

In this heat, embrace the reality of sweating Being finicky with hygiene in this environment is an exercise in futility
JACOB MUSELMANN
So is the time when we are all dragged back into an academic routine, laying behind us summer flings, episodes and a way of life more carefree. In the midst of our mass coercion to refocus our energies to a scholarly nature, we struggle to let go of the last few months that suddenly seem timeless. Still, there is something we can't overlook. As you may have noticed, it's hot outside. For some that fact is a mere detail about the day, as trivial as wind pressure or chance of rain. But if you're like me, it impacts a daily routine—what I will do and when I do them, and most of all, when I can never ever be outside.
In summers past, I remember dreading the heat. Being overly self-conscious and somewhat awkward, I knew that doing things during the day, even simple in nature, demanded my immediate sweatiness within a few minutes of stepping outside. I defly subdued this problem in various ways: frequent
showers, on-hand deodorant and layers of shirts. The thing about layered shirts, of course you know, is that while they help to hide armpit stains, they also add to the whole heat problem. Deodorant can only be reapplied so many times before it too becomes useless and part of the problem. I also became weary of showers that seemed to activate perspiration quicker than if I hadn't bathed. It all felt like a losing gamble or a stalemate, and frankly, it stressed me out.
This summer was different. After many months of steady rain, I knew that things were about to get profuse. So remembering that there's nothing to fear but fear itself, the spirit of carpe
diem, and perhaps Little Richie's natural tendencies onstage, I decided not to fight sweatiness anymore. I must admit there was a bit of pride at play in my coming around—why fight something when I can't win? I chose to own it. And although initially feeling carnal and lazy, I found this new approach to the summer heat to be quite rewarding. (I like carnal and lazy too.) No longer does the weather prohibit me from doing the things I want to do. Instead I can focus on other things, like where the ice cream is.
Sweating itself feels pretty good. It's like that high one gets from exercising, only a lot less is required. It has an affinity for making scantily clad anyone who is in the right time and place to do so, and I've noticed that this pairs very well with a cold beer. It seems to me an integral party ingredient for these reasons, not to mention the loopy hysteria that is sometimes evident. Maybe that's just me.
mer chic which beacons to the equally apathetic and honest. It says, these are the times and rather than anguish, I choose to languish in them.
While I'm not raising the white flag on personal hygiene (completely), I would like my underarms to stand testament to all: Stop pretending like you're not sweating. I have always been mystified by those who do not perspire much or do not require deodorant, and cannot begin to address that issue. As for the rest of us, I'll be over there in the grey shirt, sticky and unashamed. Wear your sweat with pride. I'm going to take a shower now. After all, I didn't say anything about being outright smelly.
It is responsible for a sum-

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Endeavour returned to Earth safely Tuesday, ending a nearly two-week orbital drama that centered on a deep gouge in the shuttle's belly and an early homecoming prompted by a hurricane.
The shuttle swooped out of the partly cloudy sky and touched down on the runway at 12:32 p.m. as the astronauts families cheered.
"Congratulations. Welcome home. You've given a new meaning
to higher education. Mission Control told the crew, which included teacher-turned astronaut Barbara Morgan. Morgan had been Christa McAuliffe's backup for the doomed 1986 Challenger flight.
NASA officials quickly gathered under Endeavour pointing and gazing up at the gouged tiles. At the same time, cameras focused on the damage, offering detailed close-up views.

astronauts' health was private information.
Over the past few days and right up until landing, NASA had stressed that the gouge in Endeavour's belly would not endanger the shuttle during its landing, but it did not want the shuttle to suffer any structural damage that might require lengthy repairs.
There was zero chance of a Columbia-style disaster this time, NASA managers insisted, although they acknowledged re-entry was always risky. In 2003, a chunk of flyaway foam had damaged the shuttle Columbia's wing, allowing hot gases to seep in during the re-entry and tear the shuttle apart.
The main concern for much of Endeavour's mission was the 3½-inch-long gouge to the shuttle's protective tiles caused by falling debris during liftoff.
GEORGE DILLER NASA spokesman
The much smaller damaged area on Endeavour was also subjected to 2,000-degree temperatures during the hottest part of atmospheric reentry, but engineers were convinced after a week of thermal analyses and tests that the spacecraft would hold up.
With its pilots reporting no problems, Endeavour zoomed over the South Pacific, crossed Central America and Cuba, then headed up the Florida peninsula into Kennedy Space Center. Its trip spanned 13 days and 5.3 million miles.
The shuttle wasn't supposed to return until Wednesday, but mission managers decided to cut its space station visit short because of Hurricane Dean. At the time, NASA was uncertain if Dean would veer toward Texas and threaten Houston, home to Mission Control. Even though forecasters later put Houston out of harm's way, NASA held to a
Tuesday landing.
A half-hour after landing, Mission Control jokingly asked commander Scott Kelly if he wanted to turn the shuttle around and "set up for another quick one."
"Give us the weekend off and maybe next Monday," Kelly replied.
During Endeavour's liftoff on Aug. 8, a piece of foam insulation or ice had broken off a bracket on the
external fuel tank, fell onto a strut lower on the tank and then bounced into the shuttle, gashing its tiles.
The astronauts inspected the especially vulnerable areas Sunday, after undocking from the international space station. NASA on Monday cleared Endeavour for landing after engineers finished evaluating the latest laser images of the shuttle's wings and nose and concluded there were

FINANCES
Session ends higher
Few commitments made
NEW YORK — Wall Street ended another erratic session mostly higher Tuesday as investors, waiting for the Federal Reserve's next move to steady the markets, made few major commitments to stocks.
Comments from policy makers and government officials tugged at a market looking for any evidence the Fed will cut rates to help contain the credit crisis that began with the failure of subprime loans.
The Fed has taken a number of steps to prop up the nation's financial institutions ahead of its scheduled Sept. 18 meeting, including injecting more liquidity into the banking industry and cutting the discount rate. But many on Wall Street want the Fed to do more, including lowering the more important federal funds rate, and to do it before next month's meeting.
According to preliminary calculations, the 30-stock Dow Jones industrial average fell 30.49, or 0.23 percent, to 13,090.86 after moving in and out of positive territory throughout the day.
Broader market indexes were slightly higher. The Standard and Poor's 500 index rose 1.57, or 0.11 percent, to 1,447.12, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 12.71, or 0.51 percent, to 2,521.30. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies added 0.93, or 0.12 percent, to 788.38.
Bonds continued to rally, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note falling to 4.59 percent from 4.63 percent late Monday. Bond prices move opposite yields.

TEHRAN, Iran — A detained Iranian-American academic accused of conspiring against the government was freed on bail Tuesday from the Tehran prison where she had been jailed since early May, a top judiciary official said.
Haleh Esfandiari, director of the Middle East program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, has been jailed largely incommunicado at Tehran's Evin prison on charges of acting against national security.
BY ALI AKBAR DAREINI ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mohammad Shadabi, an official at the Tehran prosecutor's office, told The Associated Press she was freed on $333,000 bail. Shadabi said he could not say whether Esfandiari would be allowed to leave Iran.
Iranian-Americans face charges
INTERNATIONAL
Earlier, Esfandiari's husband said her mother used the deed to her Tehran apartment to post bail.
"I feel extremely good. It has been a very anxious several months. Now we hope she will not only be released from prison but allowed to come back home," the husband, Shaul Bakhash, said from his home in Potomac, Md.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos said he had seen reports of the release of Esfandiari, who was among four Iranian-Americans detained in Iran, but could not confirm them.
"Our position has always been
that Esfandiari as well as the other three have done nothing wrong, should not have been in the situation they found themselves in and should be free right now," he said.
Iran confirmed in mid-May that Esfandiari was held and charged her later that month. The only contact her family has had have been short phone calls to her mother from prison.
Esfandiari's troubles in Iran began when three masked men holding knives threatened to kill her on Dec. 30 as she was her way to the Tehran airport after visiting her 93-year-old mother, the Wilson Center said. They took her baggage, including her U.S. and Iranian passports, the center said.
Last month, Iranian public television broadcast video in which Esandiarii said a network of foreign activists tried to destabilize Iran and bring about "essential" social change. The video also featured Tajbakhsh, an urban planning consultant with the Soros Foundation's Open Society Institute.
Two other Iranian-Americans also face security-related charges: Parnaz Azima, a journalist for U.S-funded Radio Farda, and Ali Shakeri, a founding board member of the Center for Citizen Peacebuilding at the University of California, Irvine. Shakeri is in prison, while Azima is free but cannot leave Iran.
Both the Wilson Center and the New York-based Open Society Institute have criticized the Iranian government for the broadcast and dismissed the statements as "coerced."
For several weeks, she was interrogated by authorities for up to eight hours a day, according to the center. Most of the questioning focused on the activities of the Middle East Program at the Wilson Center.
Earlier this month, Iranian authorities said they have concluded an investigations into Esfandiari, and Kian Tajbakhsh, another detained Iranian-American also accused of conspiring against the country's security.
At the time, no decision had been made on a trial.
The Evin prison is notorious for its harsh conditions for political prisoners. Esfandiari's husband and the Wilson Center have said she was not permitted to speak to lawyers.
Family members, colleagues and employers of all the detained have consistently denied the allegations.
Apart from Esfandiari's case, there was no news Tuesday on the other three Iranian-Americans.
The detentions have become another point of contention in the tensions between the U.S. and Iran, joining Washington's accusations that Iran arms Shiite Muslim militants in Iraq, fuels unrest in Lebanon and seeks to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran denies those claims, and blames Washington for Iraq's instability.

Conviction of former Illinois governor upheld Political scandal biggest in decades
BY MIKE ROBINSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — A federal appeals court upheld former Gov. George
kryan's racketeering and fraud conviction Tuesday and refused to grant a new trial that could delay his 6½-year prison sentence in the biggest political
Ryan
Davis
scandal to rock Illinois in decades.
Ryan's attorneys immediately began trying to prevent the 73-year-old former governor, once the state's most powerful Republican, from having to report to prison immediately.
7. Tuesday afternoon, they were fil
ing for a lucky "granted "en banc" hearing that would have the entire U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals hear the appeal, said longtime Ryan supporter James R. Thompson, another former Illinois governor whose law firm,
Winston and Strawn, represented Ryan for free. A three-judge panel had issued the split ruling rejecting a new trial.
"He can still appeal things, but even with those appeals pending, by court order, he has to report."
Ryan was convicted last year of racketeering conspiracy, fraud and other offenses for taking payoffs from political insiders in exchange for state business while he was Illinois secretary of state from 1991 to 1999 and governor for four years after that. Prosecutors said he had steered state contracts and leases to insiders and used tax dollars in his political campaigns.
"Governor Ryan obviously is disappointed," Thompson said. But he said, "No court ever deprived a defendant of his life and liberty under these circumstances and that is an argument we will make if necessary to the U.S. Supreme Court."
The three-judge 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel disagreed Tuesday in a 2-1 decision.
In his appeal, Ryan's attorneys argued that the jury's deliberations were flawed.
U. S. District Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer had replaced two jurors with alternates after deliberations in the case had already started, and the defense said unauthorized documents brought into the jury room poisoned the deliberations.
Judge Michael Kanne dissented and said Ryan and his co-defendant, businessman-lobbyist Larry Warner, should get a new trial. He called the jury deliberations "dysfunctional."
"The fact that the trial may not have been picture perfect is, in itself, nothing unusual," Judge Diane Wood wrote in the majority opinion, joined by Judge Daniel Manion.

It wasn't immediately clear when Ryan would have to begin serving his 6½-year sentence. He has been free on an unusual appeal bond granted by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court had said
Soldier returns from Iraq after daughter is killed
FORT RILEY — A soldier serving in Iraq was returning to Fort Riley after his 9-year-old daughter died in a fire at his family's apartment.
The girl's mother and three younger siblings — ages 5, 6 and 16 months — escaped the fire, which was reported about midnight Monday at the Colyer Manor East.
No names were released and the cause of the fire was under investigation, officials said Tuesday.
Ryan and Warner both maintain they did nothing illegal.
then that he would have to report within 72 hours unless granted a new trial, said former federal prosecutor Patrick M. Collins, who spearheaded the corruption investigation.
The investigation into the men began as a probe of bribes exchanged for commercial drivers licenses in Illinois. It ballooned into a wide-ranging investigation of corruption when Ryan was a major political power at the Statehouse in Springfield and led to dozens of convictions of state officials, lobbyists, driving instructors and others.
"He can still appeal things, but even with those appeals pending, by court order, he has to report," Collins said.
"Our main effort and our main focus right now is on that mother and her three children ... and also bringing that service member back from Iraq so that he can link up with his family members." Fort Riley Garrison Commander Col. Richard
Piscal said.
The girl's father is a member of the 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division.
Crews from the Fort Riley Fire Department responded to the fire after neighbors called it in, said Chris Ferris, Fort Riley's director of emergency services. The girl was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at Irwin Army Community Hospital.
The seven remaining apartments were structurally safe, said Brian Beauregard, Picerne Military Housing program director.
The Colyer Manor homes are among the first that Picerne Military Housing plans to demolish as part of new development of onpost housing.

Hurricane terrorizes Mexico

"We often see that when a storm weakens, people let down their guard completely. You shouldn't do that," said Jamie Rhome, a hurricane specialist. "This storm probably won't become a Category 5 again, but it will still be powerful."

With the storm still screaming, there were no immediate reports of deaths, injuries or major damage. Soldiers evacuated more than 250 small communities.

Final body found at bridge site
President Bush on Tuesday approved an emergency declaration making the city and state eligible for more federal assistance for recovery.
The president's declaration also authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts, according to a statement issued by the White House. Bush was scheduled to be in Minneapolis on Tuesday and to get a briefing on the bridge.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty said he requested the help because the emergency response alone cost more than $8 million.
The government evacuated Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye and ordered a dusk-to-dawn curfew from Belize City north to the Mexican border.

Divers on Monday evening discovered the body of the last known missing person: Gregory Jolstad,
a 45-year-old construction worker who was part of the crew resurfacing the Interstate 35W bridge when it fell Aug. 1 during the evening rush hour. The discovery brought the official death toll to 13.
"There aren't a lot of smiles here tonight," said Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek, who was overseeing the search. He said recovery workers were relieved that all the people known to be missing had been found, but mindful of the loss to the families.
"We all have very heavy hearts",
he said.
Stanek didn't close the door on the possibility of more remains turning up amid the wreckage. He said teams from the sheriff's office would maintain a presence at the bridge site, but that Navy dive teams brought in to locate the remains would leave within the next day or so.
Jolstad's wife, Lisa Jolstad, had worried earlier Monday that the search for her husband's body would drag on, leaving her without a sense of closure. Stanek said he spoke to her after Greg
Jolstad's body was identified, and that she expressed thanks to the search team.
Department of Transportation, said crews would immediately begin heavy duty debris removal, clearing the tons of concrete and steel that crumpled into the river.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty on Monday asked President Bush to declare the collapse a major disaster, which would make the state eligible for more federal money. Bush was scheduled to be in Minneapolis on Tuesday and to get a briefing on the bridge.
"We're looking at hopefully having the south end of the bridge removed by the end of the week," Zoller said, adding that reopening the river channel to boats would also be a priority.
The search for bodies along the river prevented much other work from beginning. The only removal of bridge debris so far occurred when it was needed to let divers search inaccessible areas, and state transportation officials had vowed that no site work for the planned bridge replacement would start until all the bodies were found.
Terry Zoller, the incident commander at the site for the state
The department has set a goal of having a new interstate bridge ready for business by the end of 2008, and an agency official said recently the goal was attainable as long as building began before winter.
Stanek said officials would meet Tuesday to discuss when to reopen the 10th Avenue bridge, a smaller span parallel to the Interstate 35W bridge that has been closed since the collapse.

On Aug. 21, 1863, Lawrence experienced the worst civilian massacre of the Civil War. The Watkins Community Museum of History still recognizes Lawrence's historical role in the war. The museum held "The Civil War on the Western Frontier" events for the past 12 days. The events ended Tuesday after a special discussion with Ken Spurgeon, a filmmaker who recently
finished a documentary on William C. Quantrill's raid on Lawrence 144 years ago.
"These Civil War events are the largest for the museum," said Kerry Lippincott, museum curator, "But this final night with Ken's documentary is a good way to go out with a bang."

Lawrence on Aug. 21, 1863. The raid consisted of 450 pro-slavery soldiers who killed about 180 men
in the bloodiest civilian attack of the Civil War according to historians.
Spurgeon has taught history at both high school and college levels. He said as a teacher he was always shocked about how many
students came into his classroom and didn't know anything about the Lawrence raid.
"I wanted to make these stories
become known," Spurgeon said.
Spurgeon called the film a "docudrama." He said the film

commentary. The film will debut at Liberty Hall Nov. 1 before traveling around the state for 10 to 12 screenings. Spurgeon said he was excited
said the film would begin with historians explaining the motivation behind and execution of Quantrill's raid. He said it would be followed with 20 to 30 minutes of scenes of the raid without
to see all the hard work that went into the film.
"Filming is a huge task," Spurgeon said. "Every detail is essential."
Spurgeon said the documentary was filmed on a Butler County ranch. Buildings were reconstructed to resemble those in Lawrence at the time of the raid including two floors of the Eldridge Hotel. The film's narrator is Buck Taylor, an actor from the television show "Gunsmoke" and the movie "Tombstone."
Spurgeon's daughter, Lauren Spurgeon, Andover sophomore, enjoys helping her father when she can. She said she has played an extra in two of his films and has assisted at lectures. She said her family has
always had an interest in history and the role of Lawrence in the Civil War.
"My dad has always been very passionate about history," Spurgeon said. "I probably am not as interested as he is, but I do enjoy it and think it's a neat story."
Audience members watched a short teaser for the documentary before going to a candlelight vigil in South Park. At the vigil names of all the known victims in Quantrill's raid were read as historical reenactors portrayed the event. The Watkins Community Museum of History has done "The Civil War on the Western Frontier" events for the past 12 years.

In today's sports world, it seems as if it's only about the money. Professional athletes in every
Because he is a high-profile athlete who is cooperating with the investigators, he will probably get a lesser sentence.
I understand that college athletes would tend to gamble or place bets because they are not being paid to play.
They are seen in the public eye throughout their career so everything is going to be discovered about their lives. Nevertheless, in our society, no one is ever satisfied with the amount of money he or she has — everyone always wants more.
Gambling in sports first sparked controversy almost a hundred years ago. In the 1919 World Series, the Chicago Black Sox — I mean White Sox — played the Cincinnati Reds. The famous Black Sox scandal started when it was discovered that Shoeless Joe Jackson and seven other Chicago players fixed the World Series.
If it's only about the money. Professional athletes in every major sport are signing contracts worth millions of dollars every year. Championships and the Hall of Fame don't seem to be as important to athletes nowadays as how much money they are going to make that year.
Recently Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has been accused of having dog fighting events in one of his homes. He pleaded guilty to these charges on Monday, and who knows whether he will play in the NFL ever again.
Ever since then, gambling in sports has increased. Pete Rose is another famous baseball player who has admitted to fixing games just to earn the extra money. He is the all-time major league leader in hits, made 17 All-Star appearances and has other records that stand today.
In 2004, the NCAA did a gambling study that showed 35 percent of male athletes and 10 percent of female athletes bet on college sports that influenced the outcome of games. The study also stated that it was more likely for a Division III athlete to gamble on games than a Division I athlete.
So why do professional athletes gamble when they have all this money to begin with?
He is one of the greatest players ever to play the game, yet he is banned from Major League Baseball completely because of his actions. In 2004 Rose admitted to betting on the Reds while playing for and coaching the team. He will never be fully recognized for his accomplishments because he chose to bet on the sport he played just to have more money.
Former NHL great Wayne Gretzky and his wife Janet Jones were said to also be involved in some part of Tocchet's operation but this has not been proven.
In May 2007, Tocchet pled guilty to conspiracy and promoting gambling. His punishment? Two years probation.
Professional athletes and coaches are not the only ones who have been found to gamble on sporting events. Many college athletes have also placed bets.
Former Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet was accused of being the ringleader and overseeing a gambling operation. He allegedly made up to $500,000 in bets in various sports.
I do not think that any of these athletes' punishments are fair. Just because you have been in the spotlight and are considered a high profile athlete or coach does not mean that you should have a lesser punishment.

New faces practice hard for starting spots on line
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer Asher Fusco is previewing KU football, position by position. Tomorrow's edition will profile the defensive line and linebackers.
OFFENSIVE LINE
Despite the turnover, this year's projected starters have quite a bit of experience.
For the past several years the Kansas offensive line has been quiet but effective — made up of established veterans and solid run-blockers. With three former starters lost to graduation, the Kansas coaching staff reshuffled its returning pieces on the line this fall.
"We lost three players who were pretty good but we have some guys who have stepped up," offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said. "We've got some older, more
The three vacated spots on the offensive line are the interior positions: center, left guard and right guard. Junior Ryan Cantrell is the frontrunner at center. He is one of the most experienced and versatile linemen on the team. In 2005, Cantrell started five games at guard. He appeared in three games last season.
experienced guys battling for positions so by the end of camp we're going to be fine"
At the team's most recent open practice the competition at right guard had not yet been settled. Juniors Chet Hartley and Rameses Arceo split time with the first team.
Hartley was one of the most highly touted members of Kansas' most recent recruiting class. The Butler County Community College transfer drew attention from Florida State but chose Kansas instead.
"Chet Hartley is a player who is experienced enough to play right away," Warinner said. "He's 315 pounds and he played a lot of football at Butler (County Community
Adrian Mayes is penciled in as the starting left guard. The 305-pound junior, who has only played in one game as a layhawk, looked shaky in preseason practice but impressed coaches enough to earn their confidence.
College)."
At 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, Collins is a bona fide NFL prospect and one of the best offensive linemen in the Big 12 Conference. Last year Collins dominated from the right tackle position but he said his teammates' strong play has helped ease the transition.
Arceo transferred from Cerritos College before 2006 but took a redshirt in his first season at Kansas. He practiced with the starters for much of last week's open practice.
"The line jelled together in the spring and the summer," Collins said. "We were
Kansas' strongest position could be offensive tackle. On the right side, senior Cesar Rodriguez is above-average. On the left, junior Anthony Collins is stellar.
screaming, hollering, sweating and bleeding together in the hot sun. We really came together because we knew wed have to play together.
Rodriguez stands 6-7 and weighs 290 pounds, tall and lanky for a lineman. With his singular athleticism he could help establish the Jayhawks' outside running game and allow sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing to shift the pocket along the line of scrimmage.
Though the starting offensive linemen have plenty of talent, depth could be an issue. Redshirt freshman Ian Wolfe is the main backup at tackle. Wolfe is expected to be the team's next star lineman, but he is untested.
The reserve interior linemen are junior Matt Darton and redshirt freshman John Marshall. Neither has seen significant playing time. The second string offensive line

New coach, young team look forward to progress
A word that seems to revolve around this year's men's Golf team is "young." The squad picked up four freshmen, a transfer, and a new coach.
Kit Grove, last year's assistant coach, replaced mentor and former coach Ross Randall. Grove has his goals set high this year, but doesn't know how his team will compete this season.
Team returns lone senior Joey Mundy
"We've got a lot of new blood. It's a unique experience to have more guys coming in than going out." Grove said.
The end of last spring started what seems to be a long transition period with the departure of Gary Woodland. Woodland was named to the All-Big 12 Honors list for both his junior and senior seasons. With Woodland gone, the team lacks experience in the NCAA because the Jayhawks return only one senior, Joey Mundy.
Injuries also seem to be a problem for the outlook of the season. Sophomore Patrick Roth was out for three months last season for unknown injuries and Zach Pederson is suffering from back problems.
But injuries aren't deterring coach Grove's
"I'm going to wear these guys out on the short game. It will make good days better and bad days better. It will turn 76's into 73%, which could be the difference for making Regionals or Nationals," Grove said.
practice schedule. The Jayhawks start their team qualifiers this weekend, which will allow Grove to understand what each player needs to work on so he can change his practice accordingly. But Grove has a general idea of what they'll focus on this season.
Grove also noted that he'll be a little more intense than Coach Randall, especially in regards to the wedge game.
SEASON
the schedule for the season looks to be an enjoyable one for the Jayhawks. The golf squad will start the season at Poppy Hills Golf Club located in Pebble Beach, Calif., for the St. Mary's Invitational on Sept. 10. Other highlights for the season will include a trip to Kona, Hawaii, to start of the spring season in February.
Aside from the rigorous travel, the Jayhawks will play for a Big 12 Title alongside eight other NCAA Regional teams from last year's tournament. With last year's Big 12 Champion Oklahoma State only
The team will only be making one home appearance this season, at the University of Kansas Invitational in September.
returning four of its golfers from last season, Texas A&M is the likely candidate for this season's best team, returning everyone from last year's runner-up finish.
Unfortunately the locations are the only thing pretty about the laj Hawks' schedule.
Although it is a difficult schedule, Grove is looking forward to seeing the season progress.
"I'm excited to be out there as a coach this season. It's a great feeling. We're young so every shot counts and every round counts," Grove said.

PGA TOUR Tiger Woods absent from FedEx Cup playoff rounds
HARRISON, N.Y. — Tiger Woods has played four straight weeks on the PGA Tour only five times in his career, and two of those stretches came in 1996 when he was a 20-year-old rookie trying to avoid going to Q-school.
So his absence from the first of four playoff events in the FedEx Cup should have come as no surprise.
Nor should it be a problem.
Once the inaugural "PGA Tour Playoffs" head toward a conclusion, no one will remember that Woods skipped The Barclays. Even if he doesn't win the FedEx Cup, odds are he's in the running. And that beats any interest golf used to have in the fall, which was next to nil.
Truth is, Woods might have done the tour a favor.
Considering how he has been playing lately (two straight victories), and how he finished last season (six straight PGA Tour victories), it was conceivable the world's No.1 player could have wrapped up the FedEx Cup and gone home before the Tour Championship.
Which would have looked worse: Woods skipping what amounts to a wild-card game or sitting out the Super Bowl?
"Maybe he figured he had a first-round bye," Woody Austin said Tuesday on a dreary day of rain at Westchester, which seemed to set the mood for those who believe the playoffs already are a bust because one guy didn't show up.

Jenks falls short of record
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bobby Jenks fell short of a major league record before finishing off the Royals. Ryan Budde ended the New York Yankees' night with a game-winning hit for the Angels.
"I messed that one up myself," Jenks said. "I shook off slider to go back to curveball. But he's hot, tip my hat."
Jenks, who tied Jim Barr's mark of 41 for San Francisco in 1972 last Sunday, gave up a single to Gathright to lead off the ninth.
Jenks settled for a share of the record when Joey Gathright broke the Chicago closer's string of 41 straight outs, and then stopped the White Sox's worst skid in 16 years by saving a 4-3 victory over Kansas City on Monday night.
Budde doubled in the winning run in the 10th inning to lift Los Angeles to a 7-6 win. It was his first RBI and extra-base hit in the majors.
"It feels great, a dream come true. Wow!" his said a grinning Budde, who made his big league debut July 31. "To do it against the Yankees is awesome."
Budde hit a 2-0 pitch from Sean Henn (2-1) into right-center to score Howie Kendrick, who had
doubled to right with one out.
In other AL games, it was: Seattle 9, Minnesota 4; Boston 6, Tampa Bay 0; and Oakland 6, Toronto 4. Texas' game at Baltimore was postponed by rain and will be made up Wednesday as the opener of a doubleheader
At Chicago, Jenks retired the next three batters after Gathright's hit for his 34th save in 39 chances. Danny Richar and Scott Podsednik homered for the White Sox, who avoided losing nine in a row for the first time since Aug. 19-28, 1991.
"It feels weird. I forgot the last time we shook hands. I forgot what to do, I was confused," Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said.
Yankees dropped five games behind Boston in the AL East and had their three-game winning streak snapped.
"I messed that one up myself. I shook off slider to go back to curveball. But he's hot, tip my hat."
The AL West-leading Angels' second straight victory kept them two games ahead of Seattle, which beat Minnesota 9-4. The visiting
Matt Thornton pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings to earn the win. David Riske (1-3) was charged with the loss.
Darren Oliver (0-1) pitched a perfect 10th to get the victory.

Joe Torre said.
"It's tough to lose games like that, but you understand it's going to happen. We didn't beat ourselves, they beat us."
Richie Sessex and Kenji Johjima also went deep for the visiting Mariners, who also have won seven of nine to improve to a season-high 18 games over .500.
A l e x Rodriguez hit his major league-leading 40th homer
Raul ibanez homered twice and drove in three runs to lead Seattle to its fourth straight win.

runs in 7 1-3 innings, his longest outing of the season.
The Mariners chased Minnesota starter Matt Garza (2-4) in the third inning. He was charged with seven runs and nine hits, recording just seven outs.
Ibanez is hitting .431 (28-for-65) in August. He leads the league with nine home runs this month, all in his last 13 games. He hit six in his first 97 games.
Red Sox 6, Devil Rays 0
Tim Wakefield allowed four hits over seven innings to improve to 19-2 against Tampa Bay.
Wakefield (15-10) struck out five and walked one, and moved into a tie for the major league lead in wins this season. The knuckleballer, who is 9-0 at Tropicana Field, has the most wins by any Tampa Bay opponent.
Mike Lowell homered for the AL East-leading Red Sox, who are 11-8 in August.
Scott Kazmir (9-8) gave up six runs and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings for Tampa Bay.
Athletics 6, Blue Jays 4
Jack Hannahan hit his first major league home run and Joe Blanton remained unbeaten in August for Oakland.
GAMBLING (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
However they are in the media as well and the NCAA is always investigating schools and their athletes to make sure the rules are being followed.
In 2005 Dick Vitale and several Division I men's basketball coaches, including Bill Self, made a short video called "Don't Bet on It-Men's Basketball." It stated what should be done to help prevent gambling by college athletes.
I think it is okay for these athletes to go to the casinos and play the slot machines, but there is no reason whatsoever to be betting on sports, especially ones that they participate in.
These athletes are already being paid to play a sport and have plenty of money in their pockets, so why do they need to put their careers in jeopardy by taking the risk of fixing a game just to earn those few extra dollars?
Maybe next time they even think about earning the extra dollars from the bookie, they will ask themselves whether it's really worth the price of the making the Hall of Fame or winning a championship.

Historic baseball for sale
BY JANIE MCCAULEY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — No. 756 is going to auction.
Barry Bonds' record-breaking home run ball will be sold online, and fortunate fan Matt Murphy figures to be a half-million dollars richer.
The 21-year-old New York man said Tuesday he had no choice but to sell the ball — several people told him he would be taxed on the valuable souvenir if he holds onto it.
"It wasn't hard. It was simple math. I'm upset by the decision I had to make," Murphy said. "I wanted to keep it. I'm young. I don't have the bank account. ... It would have cost me a lot more to keep it."
Bonds broke Hank Aaron's record of 755 with a shot into the rightfield seats on Aug. 7 against the
Washington Nationals.
Sotheby's/SCP Auctions will handle the sale at www.scpauctions. com beginning Aug. 28 and going through Sept. 15. The starting bid has not been determined, and auction officials estimated the ball would bring at least $500,000.
"This is the most historic baseball ever to be sold," said David Kohler, president of SCP Auctions.
The ball from Bonds' 755th home run hit Aug.4 in San Diego also will be for sale on the site. The same company sold the balls from Bonds' 700th homer and No. 715 that passed Babe Ruth for second place last season.
Everyone involved hopes the buyer of the historic balls is willing to at least share them for a period of time — if not donate them altogether — with the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Fiesta bowl upset still stings
Sooners hope to rebound from tough loss with experienced defense
BY CASE KEEFER
CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM
The last time Oklahoma playen a football game, it was on the receiving end of the biggest upset in BCS bowl game history. The Sooners lost in the Fiesta Bowl to the Boise State Broncos from the Western Athletic Conference.
Even more heartening was the fact that Oklahoma surrendered 43 points in the game.
With an extremely experienced defense full of talent, it's unlikely any

43-42 Bowl Game loss Fiesta Bowl vs. Boise State
30.3 Points Per Game
17.3 Opponents'
Points Per Game
team will score that much on the Sooners this season.
OFFENSE
The Sooners lost superstar running back Adrian Peterson, who was picked seventh in this year's NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings. That would be a huge concern for most programs, but Oklahoma has a roster full of great running backs.
Senior Allen Patrick and sophomore Chris Brown already proved themselves during Peterson's absence due to injury last season. Add in redshirt freshmen running back DeMarco Murray, who runs the 40 yard dash in an extraordinary 4.37 seconds and has athleticism similar to Reggie Bush, and the Sooners are prepared to suffocate opponents with their rushing attack.
Junior wide receiver Malcolm Kelly gives the Sooners a big, physical target and will be joined by juniors Juaqain Iglesias and Manuel Johnson. Senior tight end Joe Jon Finley also caught 19 passes last season, which means OU has its top four receivers back in 2007.
The battle for quarterback was a three-man race until redshirt freshman Sam Bradford was named
the starter on Tuesday. His backups will be true freshman Keith Nichol and junior Joey Halzle. The Sooner's offensive line is full of stalwarts including junior tackle George Robinson who had 108 pancake blocks in 2006.
DEFENSE
Oklahoma's biggest strength is its defensive backfield. Junior Reggie Smith is the pre-season Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. Smith is a three-year starter with versatility as he has alternated between playing cornerback and strong safety. Junior Nic Harris is Smith's partner in crime. Harris lurks deep at the free safety position and had four interceptions last year.
The cornerbacks should be in constant rotation as Oklahoma has extreme depth with senior D.J. Wolfe, senior Marcus Walker, and junior Lendy Holmes. The Sooners landed one of the highest touted junior college transfers in the nation in junior linebacker Mike Reed.
Junior Curtis Lofton was moved to weak side linebacker to make room for Reed. The defensive line unit took the biggest hit with three starters graduating. But Oklahoma
has a possible superstar in redshirt freshman Gerald McCoy. McCoy was named the USA Today Defensive Player of the Year in high school.
SEASON OUTLOOK
The result of the Sooner's season should answer the question of how important an experienced quarterback is in college football. Oklahoma has all the pieces to compete for a national championship, except for a proven commodity under center.
Their non-conference schedule is difficult as they have to play the University of Miami, Fla. at home and Tulsa on the road.
The Sooners catch a break in the Big 12. Their only road games are Colorado, Iowa State and Texas Tech. But Oklahoma's season always seems to come down to the game against Texas. If they can get past the Longhorns, Oklahoma is in perfect position to win the Big 12 title for the second consecutive year and is certainly one of the nation's finest teams.
PREDICTION 10-2, Cotton Bowl
Edited by Kyle Carter
WANTERS 14
After a season-ending upset at the hands of Boise State, the Oklahoma Sooners are ready for redemption. The Sooners' tested defense and deep offensive backfield are keys to making sure history doesn't repeat itself.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Kevin Durant was one of two players cut as the United States got down to the 12-player limit for the Olympic qualifying tournament that begins Wednesday.
SuperSonics teammate Nick Collison also was dropped when the Americans announced their decisions about two hours after practicing at the Thomas & Mack Center. The final roster needs to be submitted Tuesday, a day before the U.S. opens the FIBA Americas tournament against Venezuela.
As expected, Michael Redd and Mike Miller had nothing to worry about.
The U.S. roster includes: Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Dwight Howard, Jason Kidd, Chauncey Billups, Redd, Miller, Tyson Chandler, Taysaun Prince and Deron Williams.

Wilkins taking it easy in preseason games
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUISE — After sitting out the first two preseason games, Jeff Wilkins will be on the field Friday when the Rams play the Raiders in Oakland.
Plans are for Wilkins to handle all kickoffs and place-kicking chores. The 14-year veteran nicknamed "Money" by former coach Mike Martz for his consistency and ability to perform under pressure devised a training camp regimen in which he doesn't kick until Game 3 of the preseason.
"I used to kick a ton in training camp but as I got older, I started realizing quality is more important than quantity," Wilkins said Tuesday. "You only have so many bullets in the chamber. I want to use them for the right time."
Coach Scott Linehan said
Wilkins looked sharp in practice.
"He looks real good. His leg looks real strong." Linehan said. "It's going to be good to get him full-game work this week."
At 35, Wilkins remains one of the NFL's elite kickers. He has connected on 346 consecutive extra points, the second-best streak in league history behind Jason Elam's 371 from 1993-2002.
Wilkins has the Rams' longest field goal at 57 yards and has made 283 field goals, an 83 percent success rate, for his career. From 50 yards and longer, Wilkins has connected on 72 percent of his kicks.
"There's no limit to taking a shot at three points because he's so good from deep." Linehan said. "As soon as you cross the 50, the consideration is there. He's so accurate and he knocks it through when you need it most."

Johnson returns after contact extension
DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Holdout running back Larry Johnson agreed to a six-year contract extension and joined the Kansas City Chiefs for practice Tuesday, surprising teammates who broke into scattered cheers when he jogged unannounced onto the field.
"Larry! Larry," many players chanted. They had already been practicing for about 45 minutes when No.27 suddenly appeared in their midst and began running plays.
"Any time a great player like Larry comes in, we're glad to have him."
Peterson said he was taken aback when Johnson immediately jumped into drills, first blocking on a play and then taking a swing pass from Croyle.
"Frankly, I thought he'd be run-
set the NFL record with 416 carries last year while rushing for 1,789 yards, snapping the team record he set the year before. His six-year deal includes a $19 million guarantee.
PATRICK SURTAIN
Chiefs Cornerback
"We were actually in the huddle at the time," he said. "I looked over and saw him. It was good to see No. 27 out there."
After practice, Johnson quickly dressed and left without speaking with reporters. A team spokesman said he would probably hold a news conference Wednesday. Chiefs president and general manager Carl Peterson said a fine of $19,280 per day for missing 25 days of training would be paid, meaning the holdout cost Johnson about $357,000.
"I think there'll be a little left;"
he said.
But Peterson joked that with his new deal, Johnson would have no difficulty paying up.
Peterson said Johnson called him Monday night "and wanted to chat."
"We met privately," he said. "I could see that he very, very much wanted to get on the field. He explained that to me, that he wanted to be out here with his teammates. I don't know if I've ever seen a guy sign his contract that fast. But he wanted to get out here today and get going."
"To be very candid, if he was out beyond the third (preseason) game, that's when I start becoming concerned about veterans," Peterson said.
Without Johnson, the Chiefs have struggled offensively while going 0-2 in their first two exhibition games.
Johnson's unexpected appearance on the practice field sent a bolt of electricity through what had otherwise been a boring, routine workout in the muggy Midwestern heat.
For a moment, quarterback Brodie Croyle didn't know what everyone was hollering about.
ning on the sidelines," Peterson said.
During his holdout, Johnson was working out at a facility in Arizona.
"He is in reality good shape. I have been monitoring his progress." Peterson
said. "He's been working very hard. I don't think it will take him long to get up to speed. But there's a soreness aspect you've got to go through. He expressed to me last night he knew that and he didn't want to waste any more time sitting out."
Coach Herm Edwards said Johnson would not play in Thursday night's exhibition game against New Orleans but would be fully ready
by the season opener Sept. 9 at Houston.
"He has about two weeks now (to get ready). We'll see where we're at. We'll see where he's at," Edwards said. "We talked last night. He knows what I expect out of him. He needs to get his legs up underneath him. He'll have enough time for that."
The running game has suffered. Backup Michael Bennett and rookie Kolby Smith have at times looked good during camp. But the Chiefs rushed for only 61 yards in an 11-10 loss last week to Miami even though the Dolphins held out several of their defensive starters.
"Any time a great player like Larry comes in, we're glad to have him," said cornerback Patrick Surtain. "The guy the past couple of years has been the best back in the league. He certainly deserved what he got. Now he can concentrate on what he does best, run the football."
Guard Brian Waters said he would be curious to see what kind of physical shape Johnson is in.
"To be honest with you, if you're asking for a lot of bread, it would be the craziest thing in the world to not be in shape when you come back," Waters said. "I expected him to be in good shape."

Potential starters stack team roster
BY ALISON CUMBOW
acumbow@kansan.com
The KU women's soccer team will start its fall season on Aug. 30 with an opening game in Hawaii.
The team added 10 new players this year. All of them have been up to par with the veteran players, even challenging them for their starting spots.
On Monday coach Mark Francis and some players fielded questions about the upcoming season as part of Fall Media Day. One of the hottest subjects was the competition for starting roles.
"I don't think anybody thinks that their starting spot is secure, and I think across the board everybody is concerned that they're going to have to bring it every day in practice," Francis said. "There are five or six positions where the returning players are going to be challenged by the new kids. That's great for us as a program, but it's a pain in the neck for a coach."
The players at Fall Media Day felt the same as their coach about the competition created by the performance of
the new team members.
that we need them to have a winning season" she said.
McCabe said there was no excuse for the team not to win the Big 12 conference this year, or at least be a major contender. She said the team could compete with its top-level competition and be on the same level as the top 10 teams in the country.
Francis said that there would be very little breathing room in the team's schedule. He said that the
"I think across the board everybody is concerned that they're going to have to bring it every day in practice."
"There are four or five girls who could potentially play at a few positions," junior goalkeeper Julie Hanley said. "Right now we're trying to work everyone into the mix to see what works well for us."
Sophomore midfielder Shannon McCabe seemed to understand what the new players were going through firsthand, and had plenty of advice for them.
"Team chemistry is one thing we have always taken great pride in at KU and I think this team has that this year, which will be a huge part of our success," junior midfielder lessica Bush said.
While the team continues to work on valuable skills needed for soccer like speed and determination, there is one the players feel they have down.
"They just have to know that they are an integral part of the team and
MARK FRANCIS Coach
team would have to show up to every game and perform at a high level.
The players and their coach are on the same page and completely focused on succeeding in the coming months, leading to the ultimate
goal of a tournament victory.
This season is the last for a group of seniors who won the Big 12 regular season title in their freshman year. Francis said the seniors have a lot of motivation to win in their final season.
"This year every game is a big game," Bush said. "Every game puts us that much closer to the NCAA Tournament."

MLS
Beckham proves to be Galaxy's star
15
BY ANDREW WIEBE
KANSAN COLUMNIST
AWIEBE@KANSAN.COM
Sports fans still resisting the media circus of David Beckham's arrival missed
Major League Soccer's ideal introduction of the English megastar.
Those who tuned in to Fox Soccer Channel on Saturday night saw a crowd of 66 thousand at Giants Stadium and were treated to the MLS game of the year. Beckham's Los Angeles Galaxy fell 5-4 to the New York Red Bulls.
Not only was Beckham involved in three of the Galaxy's goals, he was clearly invested in the game and was at the center of controversy when he took exception to a Dave van den Berg tackle in the first half. The shoving match that followed should only endear him to American sports fans who will value his passion for the game as well as his skill.
Although Beckham's ankle problems temporarily derailed MLS's original plans for his arrival, his performance thus far when healthy has been encouraging. For someone still obviously bothered by his ankle, Beckham seems to be the difference between a team that was destined to miss the playoffs and one with a chance to turn its season around.
Much of the popular media have judged Beckham to be the best player on the field in the appearances he has made, and to a point, I agree.
His passing repertoire brings a new element to the Galaxy attack that no team in the league can possibly replicate. He showed an uncanny ability to free up teammates down the wings into open space, and the undeniable quality of his free kicks will be the source of instant offense for a team that has so far struggled to score.
On one notable goal he simply stood and watched as Micah Richards drove toward goal, resulting in a Red Bull's goal.
From a critic's point of view, Beckham has never been the prototypical ball winner, and that has been obvious in each of his four appearances. He has been generally unwilling to exert too much energy defending, though that can be attributed to his balky ankle.
Beckham is obviously not completely healthy and for much of the second half, it seemed he was content to play deep, avoid contact, and feed long passes to teammates. I think we will see a completely different Beckham after he recovers from injury.
While he will never be a player who beats players off the dribble, once healthy he will still make runs into dangerous space closer to goal and contribute more around the opponent's goal.
Reports from England suggest he will sit out most, if not all, of England's friendly with Germany this week at the new Wimbley in England, and a rested Beckham will undoubtedly continue to improve the Galaxy's play and coverage of Major League Soccer in general.
Beckham has shown he has the ability to be the class of the MLS and the enormous turnout in New York is a positive sign for league growth. This growth must be sustained to continue improving the league, and to do this Beckham must remain healthy. It remains to be seen how his ankle, and the Galaxy for that matter, will hold up for the remainder of the MLS season, but signs are positive that soccer has a foothold in American culture.

beckham highlights
David Beckham for the Los Angeles Galaxy
Game one: Beckham came on as a substitute in a friendly against Chelsea, an English Premier League powerhouse, but the Galaxy lost 1-0 because of John Terry's second half goal.
Game two: Beckham officially debuted for Major League Soccer, coming on as a substitute against D.C. United in a nationally televised match. Again, the Galaxy lost 1-0.
Game three: Beckham makes his first start, but this
time in the semi-finals of the SuperLiga, a competition pitting four MLS teams against four of Mexico's best clubs. He scored a goal off a bending free kick into the side netting, and assisted Landon Donovan.
Game four: Beckham had his coming out party against the New York Red Bulls in front of more than 66 thousand people at Giants Stadium. Beckham had two assists off set pieces, as well as a spot-on corner kick that led to another goal. But the Galaxy lost 5-4. Juan Pablo Angel and 17-year-old phenom Jozy Altidore each scored twice for New York.

Fewer vehicles, clearer skies
CHRISTOPHER BODEEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — Despite a persistent gray haze, officials said Tuesday an exercise that removed more than 1 million private vehicles a day from Beijing's gridlocked streets was a success that could mean a clearer sky during next summer's Olympics.
Humidity and wind conditions kept the pollution from dispersing, but the air during the four-day drill would have been much worse without the vehicle restrictions, said Du Shaozhong, the deputy director of the Chinese capital's Environmental Protection Bureau.
"The test was successful. These four days the wind speed was slow, while the humidity and temperature were high." Du told reporters, noting that a gray sky doesn't necessarily mean pollution is bad.
Air pollution has emerged as a key problem for Beijing as it gears up for the Olympics, to be held Aug. 8-24, 2008. Jammed traffic and the possibility of political protests by critics of the communist regime are also concerns, although venue construction is firmly on
schedule.
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge warned during a visit this month that the competition schedule might have to be juggled on days when pollution was particularly bad.
The government's own statistics showed that the air quality during the test rated among the top 10 worst days of the month so far and slightly worse that the same period a year ago.
The ban removed 1.3 million private vehicles from the capital's gridlocked streets each day. Additional buses and subways were added as residents turned to public transportation, car pools and taxis.
Cars with even-numbered license plates were ordered off roads Friday and Sunday, and vehicles with odd-numbered plates were banned Saturday and Monday. Emergency vehicles, taxis, buses and other public-service vehicles were exempt.
Beijing had an air pollution index of between 93 and 95 during the test days, the city's environmental protection bureau said on its Web site. According to the State Environmental Protection Agency,
an index below 100 indicates excellent or good conditions.
"As the air quality during these four days reached the national standard, it was fit for all activities, including sports." Du said.
The index hit 116 Tuesday after the test and was 115 on Aug. 16 — the day before the trial began, the Chinese statistics showed.
Officials said a reading of between 101 to 200 indicates slight pollution and people with heart and respiratory conditions are told to avoid exertion and outdoor activities.
Earlier in the month, the pollution index had dipped as low as 42 and generally hovered in the 70s or 80s in the first two weeks of August.
Chris Miller, director of the global warming campaign at Greenpeace, said the car ban was a step in the right direction for China, but he doubted whether it showed any real commitment to improving air quality.
"This is a short-term solution to what is a very acute and long-term problem. In some ways it just highlights how serious the problem really is," he said.
NASCAR
Busch wins race in Michigan
MIKE HARRIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
BROOKLYN, Mich. — Kurt Busch is staying out of trouble these days, no longer making waves as a NASCAR bad boy.
After Busch won for the second time in three races, prevailing in a rare Tuesday NASCAR event after two days of rain postponements at Michigan International Speedway, he gave most of the credit for the change of attitude to team owner Roger Penske.
"Working under Roger, finding his ways and how to deal with people, whether it's internally or with our sponsors, it really gave me a better perspective what this racing thing is all about," said Busch, who joined Penske Racing in
weather problems.
A spin by Greg Biffle with just two laps remaining sent the race into overtime. But Busch easily pulled away from Trues's DEI Chevrolet when the green flag waved for a two-lap sprint on lap 202.
NASCAR's top circuit had never run on a Tuesday after a weather postponement during the modern era, which began in 1973.
The 2004 Cup champion solidified his berth in the 12-man lineup for the upcoming Chase, holding off Martin Truex Jr. in the closing laps for the 17th win of his career.
— about eight car lengths on the high-banked, 2-mile oval.
The race was originally scheduled to be run Sunday, but two days of rain kept the cars off the track. Other than a 32-minute fog delay Tuesday after the first 10 laps, the race was run without any more
Busch, who didn't take his first lead until lap 101 and wound up leading four times for 92 laps, beat Truex to the finish by 0.495 seconds
Winning the 3M Performance 400, Busch took a big step toward that goal.
There were two cautions in the last 13 laps and Busch stayed on
2005, replacing longtime star Rusty Wallace in the team's No. 2 Dodge
"I'm happy delivering wins for our sponsors, and right now, the most important thing is getting into the Chase."
KURT BUSCH
NASCAR driver
"Maybe before I pushed too hard thinking that maybe I could predict or control the outcome of races and not use the team atmosphere," Busch said. "I'm happy flying under the radar and I'm happy delivering wins for our sponsors and, right now, the most important thing is getting into the Chase (for the Nextel Cup championship)."
track with worn tires while some of the cars chasing him pitted for fresh ones. But he made two perfect restarts.
"It was tough,"
Busch said. "You know, I've got to thank the fans who stuck it out on a Tuesday to see a green-white-checker (finish). We put it on for them at the end, all the restarts, all of the guys on different strategy, it really was a tough, hard-fought win."
Reigning Cup champion Jimmie Johnson finished third, followed by Matt Kenseth, Denny Hamlin, Dave Blaney and Carl Edwards, who won here in June.
"This was a great win," said Busch, who broke a 51-race winless string two weeks ago at Pocono. "It just backs up what we did at Pocono."
With just three races remaining until the start of the 10-race stock playoff, Busch remains 12th in the standings, 33 points behind Truex. Dale Earnhardt Jr. jumped past Ryan Newman into 13th, but a slow pit stop late in the race cost him and he finished 12th.
His late-season charge into the Chase has coincided with the arrival of crew chief Pat Tryson, who took over the job in June after
being fired as Greg Biffle's crew chief by Busch's former employer, Jack Roush.
Busch said he's just following a game plan that works.
At that point, Busch was 15th in the standings and didn't look like a likely candidate to make the Chase.
"When we started eight races or so ago (the plan) was to get 20 points on everybody around us each week, behind us, in front of us," Tryson said. "I think that's how we've still got to look at it because it's easy to lose 90 points in a single day."
Series leader Jeff Gordon, who started from the pole, was in the top five before some late problems relegated him to a 27th-place finish.
Gordon's crew had to make a quick repair on a loose flap along the edge of the No. 24's rear window during a late pit stop, costing the four-time Cup champion several positions. He then had a near-collision with Matt Kenseth and spun into the infield, falling out of the lead lap after getting stuck in the grass.
"Matt was a little impatient with me, but we may have had a tire going down," Gordon said.
Earnhardt, desperately trying to make his way into the Chase lineup, was also a top-10 car most of the day, but he slid through his pits on a late stop and also fell out of contention.
"I made a mistake on that pit stop late in the race and that probably cost us about five spots," said Earnhardt, who had to start from the rear of the 43-car field after his team changed the transmission on his No. 8 Chevy.
Truex, Earnhardt's teammate who also ran second here in June, was a bit frustrated finishing behind Busch, the driver closest to him in the battle for the Chase.
"I wanted it so bad I could taste it back there behind Kurt," Truex said. "I felt like last time we probably had the car to beat. This time we didn't. This time we had good strategy and a good car there at the end."

Rookie Yovani Gallardo is used to see big leads disintegrate for Milwaukee. He wouldn't let that happen when the Brewers scored six runs early against the team with the most wins in the National League.
"The past couple of starts have been a little bit rough so it's always good to get back in the groove," Gallardo said.
Bill Hall hit a three-run homer in the first, Gallardo and Prince Fielder added home runs in the second and the pitcher did the rest in a 9-0 win over the NL West-leading Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night.
Milwaukee led 5-0 against Cincinnati on Sunday and lost 7-6. But there were no such issues against the Diamondbacks thanks to Gallardo, who struck out six in six innings and hit his first major league homer.
Fielder drove in four runs for the Brewers, who won for the second time in eight games to pull even with the Cubs in the NL Central.
In other NL games, it was: St. Louis 6, Chicago 4; San Francisco 8, Florida 7; Atlanta 14, Cincinnati 4; Washington 7, Houston 0; and Pittsburgh 4, Colorado 2.
"I think that's the key for us." Fielder said. "When we score early it helps the whole team."
Gallardo (5-3) allowed five hits and walked one to snap a personal two-game losing streak.
The Brewers wasted little time scoring against Arizona starter Doug Davis (10-11).
Rickie Weeks led the game with a walk, Ryan Braun added a two-out walk and Hall homered three rows deep into the left-field stands to give the Brewers a 3-0 lead.
Milwaukee added three more in the second when G hara did it.
one-out homer and Fielder added a towering two-run, two-out shot to right. Fielder leads the NL with 39 homers.
Davis went just two innings, a season low, and allowed six runs and six hits with two walks and one strikeout. He lost a personal five-game winning streak.
I got behind every hitter and it seems like when I did get ahead I made a mistake and put it right over the middle for them."
Carlos Villanueva pitched three innings to complete the five-hitter and earn his first major league save. He was optioned to Triple-A Nashville after the game when Milwaukee promoted reliever Seth McClung.
"The control wasn't there," Davis said. "I got behind hitters and I just made some real bad pitches tonight."

School in McCallie, Tenn.
MANHATTAN — The son of a former NBA player joined Kansas State's already-talented recruiting class Tuesday, when the Wildcats signed forward Ron Anderson Jr. to a financial aid agreement.
"We are excited about the addition of Ron to our basketball program," first-year coach Frank Martin said. "He will provide us with an option to score the ball from the low post. In addition, he has a very good understanding of how to play the game with his back to the basket. He is a very young player, but very mature for his age."
Kansas State's recruiting class, largely assembled by former coach Bob Huggins, has already been judged as the nation's best by Rivals.com. It includes 6-foot-9-inch forward Michael Beasley, ranked by several analysts as the nation's top high school recruit.
Anderson's father, Ron Anderson Sr., averaged 10.6 points in a 10-year NBA career.

Bobby Jenks pitched a perfect ninth for his 35th save in 40 chances, one night after the Royals' Joey Gathright broke his string of 41 consecutive batters retired. Jenks had to settle for a share of the record with Jim Barr of the San Francisco Giants.
Thome's RBI double to right off Royals starter Leo Nunez gave the White Sox a 1-0 lead in the first inning. After a double by Josh Fields in the third, Thome homered on a 1-1 pitch off Nunez, his 21st home run of the season.
Vazquez got into trouble in the sixth inning, giving up a leadoff walk to Billy Butler and Ross Gload's single. Brown followed with an RBI single, but with runners on first and second, Vazquez struck out Alex Gordon and got John Buck to hit into a double play.
Kansas City scored in the fourth on Emil Brown's sacrifice fly, but Richar got it back on a two-out solo shot in the bottom of the inning. It was his third of the season and gave the White Sox a 4-1 lead.
Konerko's homer off Jimmy Gobble in the ninth was his 24th of the year.
Kansas City got a scare in the third, when A.J. Pierzynski hit a ball in foul territory down the line in left. Gathright chased the ball at full speed and did a somersault into the stands, appearing to hit his head on a chair. He was unable to make the catch and stayed down for several minutes, but remained in the game.
In his fifth major league start, Nunez (2-1) gave up four runs and six hits in four innings. He struck out four and walked two.

New recruiting techniques for the Interfraternity Council changed the traditional channels where men hear about fraternities. Ian Lang, Wichita senior and Council president, said the Council worked hard to increase recruitment numbers this year.

Kate Gonzalez occupies her 2-year-old daughter Sofia with markers and paper while she helps customers and works on an advertisement design with someone from Dooph.com, a restaurant search Web site.
Just another chaotic day for the young businesswoman who recently opened the Global Cafe, 820 Massachusetts St., in partnership with her husband, Rafael. The couple also owns Kimbari, the shop next door to the Global Cafe.
Gonzalez said they had been talking about opening a restaurant for a long time. She said they wanted to tie the theme in with Kimbari, which imports items from all over the world, including tribal art and handmade crafts. She said the Cuban sandwich was the first menu item they thought of because of family ties to the country. The restaurant also offers breakfast items and a full coffee bar.
Gonzalez said preparing the Cafe was a challenge. It took her family six months to convert the retail space into a restaurant. Since its opening in July, Gonzalez said the
Global Cafe has averaged about $700 to $1,100 each day.
Mary Lynn Slover, Topeka sophomore and Global Cafe employee, said she used to visit Kimbari frequently. Slover said when Gonzalez found out she was co-majoring in international studies and African and African-American studies, Gonzalez offered her a job at the Global Cafe.
"People from all over the world come in there, and talking to them is really fun," Slover said. "There are also a lot of open-minded people and a lot of young people, I think because it's a hot spot and it's never very loud."
Julie Skolnik, Fort Worth, Texas, senior, also works at the Global Cafe. She said she heard about it from friends who knew the Gonzalezes.
"A lot of people come in from Venezuela or Cuba," Skolnik said. "They are really hard in grading the food, but so far I haven't gotten a negative report."
Gonzalez said she and her husband wanted to bring something unique to Lawrence. She said they are preparing to add some hot dinner items to the menu, and they plan to build a patio for the front and have live music during the week.

Car accident results in student injuries
Three KU students are receiving treatment at Kansas Medical Center after sustaining injuries in a car accident early Tuesday morning. A hospital spokesman said one was in fair condition, and one was in serious condition. He could not confirm the third was there, but according to police reports, that student was taken to the Med Center.
Twoother students involved in the accident received treatment at Lawrence Memorial Hospital but were released Tuesday, according to a hospital spokeswoman, Christopher Hong, a Lawrence freshman who was in the backseat, told police the accident occurred when Nicholas Dutoit, Olathe freshman, accelerated too quickly going south on Naismith Drive near 19th Street.

Student debuts as playwright
The Department of Theatre and Film recently announced its cast for the first four shows it will put on this semester. Although still a few months away, Adam Burnett, Topeka senior, is getting ready for the debut of his play "The Death of Romance" in November.
"It's about a romance novelist who is writing the end of her ongoing series, similar to J.K. Rowling with 'Harry Potter' and she is trying to figure out how to kill off her characters." Burnett said. "Meanwhile, she is dealing with the death

Olin Templin, a University of Kansas alumnus and the professor responsible for establishing the psychology, sociology and philosophy departments at the University, originally suggested building the Campanile.
BY MELISSA JOHNSON
The World War II Memorial Carillon and Campanile is a well-known landmark at the University of Kansas. Because of its location just south of Memorial Stadium, on top of Mount Oread, it has become as important to graduation tradition as receiving a diploma.

by a keyboard.
On May 27, 1951 it was officially dedicated. The largest bell in the tower is dedicated to Templin for his contributions to the University.
In 1996, the Campanile underwent repairs and a rededication ceremony.
The carillon consists of 53 bells that chime on the hour and every quarter of an hour. The University carillonne performs concerts periodically during weekday afternoons.
The Campanile was built in 1951 and exists to honor University of Kansas students and faculty who
were casualties of World War II.
There were originally 266 student and faculty names engraved in the Campanile. In 2005 the name of a
He intended for the monument to honor the original settlers of Lawrence. Unfortunately, Templin died in 1943 before the tower was built.
More than 8,000 people donated nearly $350,000 to fund the Campanile's construction.
Since Memorial Stadium's opening in 1924, students have lined up on Memorial Drive for graduation and to proceed down the hill. After the Campanile was built, it became a tradition to walk through it before walking down the hill.
KU student that had been left off by accident was added.
When the University tried to shorten the ceremony by encouraging students to walk around the Campanile rather than through it, the marshals put in place to block it were pushed aside. Walking through the Campanile at graduation has become a rite of passage for students ever since.
Students should beware, though. There is a myth that anyone who walks through the Campanile before his or her graduation ceremony won't graduate on time, and might not graduate at all.

stepping down next year Steve Hedden will step down as dean of the School of Fine Arts at the end of the academic year, but will continue teaching at the University.
Hedden was named dean in 2003, and has been at the University for five years. During his time as dean, Heddon helped increase the amount of external funding, establish new degrees and additional faculty positions and raised money to replace the marching band uniforms. A national search will begin this fall to hire a new dean by next school year.

KU's public ranking increases University places higher than many Big 12 schools
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
ccondron@kansan.com
The University of Kansas moved up one spot from to 38th, the highest it has been since 2002, in the Top 50 Public National Universities in U.S. News and World Report.
The University was also ranked 85th overall for Best National Universities and was on four lists in The Princeton Review's book "The New 2008 'Best 366 Colleges."
"We try not to think too much into these rankings," Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said. "That digit can bounce around a lot, but any time there is a national ranking, KU is always in it."
In The Princeton Review, the University placed in the Best 366 Colleges, Best Western Colleges, America's Best Value Colleges and Colleges with a Conscience. America's Best Value Colleges is based on cost and financial aid, and Colleges with a Conscience honors schools with outstanding community service involvement.
In the U.S. News and World Report, the University ranked

"It's good for people to know that KU is a top-ranked university," Cohen said. "Then if they decide to come visit the campus, we know they will likely choose KU."
There has been some controversy over the rankings from the Education Conservancy led by Lloyd Thacker, a former college admissions professional and counselor in Portland,
and chancellors of colleges to sign a "Beyond Ranking" letter, stating that the ranks are misleading and do not serve the best interest of potential students. The University and other Big 12 schools have not signed the letter.
"Students would be wise to

Annie Vangsnes, Grand Forks, N.D. sophomore, said she didn't look at rankings during her college search.
"I looked more at specific degrees and areas of studies, but overall it's a good thing to be ranked," she said.

Bullfighting no longer broadcast on Spanish TV
BY DANIEL WOOLLS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADRID, Spain — State-run Spanish television has quietly yanked live coverage of bullfighting from its programming, ending a decades-old tradition of showcasing the national pastime out of concern that the deadly duel between matador and beast is too violent for children.
Television Espanola's first broadcast in 1948 was a bullfight
in Madrid. But for the first time in the network's history, none of its channels have shown live fights this season, only taped highlights on a late-night program for afficionados.
In practical terms, the unpublicized decision by the Socialist government is largely symbolic. Of the hundreds of bullfights during the March-October season, state-run TV only tended to broadcast about a dozen. Pay TV channels and stations owned by regional governments are
full of live bullfights.
Still, many in the bullfighting world — and in the conservative opposition — are livid over what they see as a slight to a cherished piece of Spanish culture.
"We think it is awful," said lawmaker Juan Manuel Albendea. He said that when most Spaniards return from vacation in September, the center-right Popular Party will press Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to restore the broadcasts.

Recruitment numbers up for sororities and fraternities

Formal recruitment was overwhelming and time-consuming for Zach Kouri, especially the first two days. But his desire to join a fraternity lent him from withdrawing.
"Just seeing every single house—it was monotonous and I ended up having the exact same conversation at every house I went to, which ended up turning into a joke by the time recruitment was ending," said Kouri, Tulsa, Okla. freshman. "By the end of that second day it seemed like every house was exactly the same."
Kouri stuck with it and according to the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association, so did many other recruits. Both groups reported an increase in recruitment numbers this year.
Ian Lang, Wichita senior and president of the council, said the number of recruits had increased by 18 percent since last year. More men enrolled this year because the council implemented different programs during recruitment, including

"Formal recruitment is a good opportunity to get men from out of state and those without connections in the community," Lang said. "We want to give more men the opportunity."
The tool provides information about various celestial bodies, from stars to planets, and includes imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope and other sources. It also allows users to take virtual tours through galaxies, including the Milky Way from any point on Earth
"Throughout the upcoming year, the Panhellenic Association will be exploring new event scheduling options that we think would help more women stay in the process longer as well as help the chapters retain more women." Gregory said.
Erin Gregory, Leawood senior and president of the association, said they were pleased with Fall Formal Recruitment this year. She said 729 women began recruitment and 159 withdrew.

Gregory said she didn't have the exact numbers from last year, but more women applied this year and fewer women withdrew.

Students injured in car crash
》 ACCIDENT
BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com
A University of Kansas student is listed in serious condition at the KU Medical Center after sustaining an injury from a car accident involving five people early Tuesday morning, said Med Center spokesman Chris Ballihan. Another one is in fair condition.
Daniel Tuttle, Olathe freshman, is listed in serious condition, and Tyler Duncan, Lawrence freshman, is listed as fair. Police reported that Amber Henke, Downs freshman, was transported to the Med Center also on
Tuesday, Ballian couldn't confirm or deny that she was at the hospital.
Two other students, Nicholas Duiton, Olathe freshman, and Christopher Hong, Lawrence freshman, were also involved in the accident. According to Lawrence Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Belinda Rehmer, they were treated and released Tuesday. All five students live at Oliver Hall.
The car accident occurred Tuesday around 1 a.m., according to police reports. Hong told police he was at Oliver Hall when a group of people asked if he wanted to get something to eat. He said he didn't know any of
them well because he had just moved in. Hong and the other four students entered Dutoit's Ford Mustang.
Hong told police Dutoit drove, and Duncan sat in the front passenger seat. Tuttle, Henke and Hong were in the back.
They started driving south on Naismith Drive, according to the report, and stopped at the traffic light at 19th Street and Naismith Drive. After the light turned green, Hong told police, Dutoit began to accelerate quickly. Dutoit lost control of the car as he sped around the corner, Hong said, and hit a tree in the median. Hong said the car was
only traveling about 30 mph, but he thought the rapid acceleration caused Dutoit to lose control.
Henke and Tuttle were ejected from the car, according to the police report, and an air ambulance took them to the Med Center. Dutoit had to be extracted from the car. Hong and Duncan walked out on their own. Dutoit, Hong and Duncan received treatment at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Dutoit and Hong were released Tuesday, and Duncan was transferred to the Med Center.

Bush vocalizes continuous support for Iraqi leader
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — President Bush, scrambling to show he still backs embattled Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, offered him a fresh endorsement on Wednesday, calling him "a good guy, good man with a difficult job."
"I support him," Bush said a day after he acknowledged frustration with the Iraqi leader's inability to bridge political divisions in his country. "It's not up to the politicians in Washington, D.C., to say whether he will remain in his position. It is up to the Iraqi people who now live in a democracy and not a dictatorship."

Bush's validation of al-Maliki came in the last minute of his speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention and nearly stole the spotlight from his attempt to justify support for the war by likening the Iraqi situation to past conflicts in Japan, Korea and Vietnam.

Al-Maliki, on a trip to Syria, quickly lashed back at U.S. criticism. He said that no one had the right to impose timetables on his elected government and that Iraq could "find friends elsewhere." Without naming any American official, al-Maliki said that he thought some criticism of him and his government in recent days had been "discourteous."
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., said Monday that Iraq's parliament should oust al-Maliki and replace his government with a more unifying one.
Bush said in January that Iraq's slow political progress was the reason for the buildup of U.S. troops. He said that sending more troops should increase security and give Iraqi political leaders the breathing space to reconcile.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who addressed the convention after Bush on Tuesday, said that there is no military solution to Iraq's problems. He said that he thought there should be a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops to pressure the Iraqi government to take action.
Bush said that the history of U.S. conflicts in Asia have shown that critics of the day are often wrong, and that withdrawing from war should never be done for short-term gain.

BOSTON — A recently disclosed fraud involving hundreds of thousands of people on the Monster.com jobs Web site reveals the perils of leaving detailed personal information online, security analysts say.
Before the scheme was uncovered last week by researchers at Symantec Corp., con artists had stolen legitimate user names and passwords from recruiters who search for job candidates on Monster. Then, with access to the Monster system, the hackers grabbed resumes and used information on those documents to
craft personalized "phishing" emails that they sent to job seekers

"What phishers are trying to do these days is make them as realistic as possible, by adding specific information," said Patrick Martin, a Symantec product manager. "If they know you have submitted a resume to Monster, that makes it (seem) a little more legitimate."

If the recipients took the bait, they had spyware or other harmful programs secretly installed on their computers. Even if the phishing attempt wasn't successful, the names, addresses and other details on the resumes can still be lucrative.
A server in the Ukraine used in the scheme held 1.6 million entries. Because of duplications, Symantec said those files actually held personal information for "several hundred thousand" job seekers.
Symantec said that it relayed details to Monster.com so it could disable the compromised recruiter accounts, and the Web site now has a security notice that warns users of the recent email scam. The security company also advised Web users to limit their exposure to such frauds by reducing the amount of personal information they post on the Internet.
Other corporations gave similar advice. Ron O'Brien, senior security analyst for Sophos PLC, said that the same standards should apply to any social networking sites that ask for a wealth of personal information, such as Facebook.com and myspace.com.

People are taken to higher ground in northern Ohio. The governor of Ohio declared a state of emergency after rains flooded many homes in the state.
Heavy rains roll through northern Ohio
BY JOHN SEEWER ASSOCIATED PRESS
FINDLAY, Ohio - The governor declared a state of emergency Wednesday as rescuers in boats and canoes tried to reach dozens of people trapped in flooded homes in northern Ohio,the latest state swamped by heavy rain across the Upper Midwest and Plains.
Aerial views showed miles of fields and roads under water. The state's worst flooding in nearly 100 years closed streets and schools and forced at least 500 people to evacuate.
With only a few rescue boats available, neighbors in the northwest Ohio town of Findlay set out in their own kayaks and canoes in waist-deep streets to ferry others to safety.
The Blanchard River was close to 7 feet above flood stage at Findlay on Wednesday morning, the highest since a 1913 flood, and it was likely to rise another half-foot or more, the National Weather Service said.
In Bucyrus,Ohio. 40 miles to the southeast, nearly 9 inches of rain had fallen since Monday and at least 200 people were still out of their homes, the Crawford County Department of Emergency Management said.
"Reality is starting to set in about just how much damage there is in some of the flooded areas," said Tim Flock, director of the agency.
Officials were nervously watching bands of rain passing just south of the area, he said. "It's still raining on us, but it's not hateful — it's just sprinkling," he said.
Gov. Ted Strickland declared states of emergency in nine counties in northwest and north-central Ohio, including Crawford County and Findlay's Hancock County.
The death toll from two storm systems — one that has spanned the Upper Midwest and another from remnants of Tropical Storm Erin in Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri
— reached 22 on Tuesday when searchers found the body of a man tangled in a tree near Lewiston, Minn.
Flooding also continued in northern Iowa as thunderstorms dumped more heavy rain across the already water-logged region Wednesday. Three subdivisions along the Des Moines River near Fort Dodge were evacuated, and crews were scrambling to reinforce a levee, officials said.
SEX
Study shows elderly still have plenty of fun in the bedroom
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE
That may be too much information for some folks.
An unprecedented study of sex and senior citizens finds that many older people are surprisingly frisky — willing to do, and talk about, intimate acts that would make their grandchildren blush.
And the drop-off has a lot to do with health or lack of a partner, especially for women, the survey found.
But it comes from the most comprehensive sex survey ever done among 57- to 85-year-olds in the United States. Sex and interest in it do fall off when people are in their 70s, but more than a quarter of those up to age 85 reported having sex in the previous year.
The federally funded study, done by respected scientists and published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, overturns some stereotypical notions that physical pleasure is just a young person's game.
"Most people assume that people stop doing it after some vague age," said sex researcher Edward Laumann of the University of Chicago.
However, more than half of those aged 57 to 75 said they gave or received oral sex, as did about a third of 75- to 85-year-olds.
"Bravo that the New England Journal of Medicine is publishing something like that. It's about time," said Ruth Westheimer, better known as sexpert Dr. Ruth, who has long counseled seniors on sex.
The survey involved two-hour face-to-face interviews with 3,005 men and women around the country. Researchers also took blood, saliva and other samples that will tell about hormone levels, sex-related infections and other health issues in future reports. They even tested how well seniors could see, taste, hear and smell — things that affect being able to have and enjoy sex.
Some results:
—Sex with a partner in the previous year was reported by 73 percent of people ages 57 to 64; 53 percent of those ages 64 to 75, and 26 percent of people 75 to 85. Of those who were active, most said they did it two to three times a month or more.
—Women at all ages were less likely to be sexually active than men.
But they also lacked partners; far more were widowed.
People whose health was excellent or very good were nearly twice as likely to be sexually active as those in poor or fair health.
—Only 22 percent of women and 38 percent of men had discussed sex with a doctor since age 50.
improve sex.
The survey had a remarkable 75 percent response rate. Only 2 percent to 7 percent did not answer questions about sexual activities or problems, although a higher percentage declined to reveal how often they masturbate.
—Half of people having sex reported at least one related problem. Most common in men was erection trouble (37 percent); in women, low desire (43 percent), vaginal dryness (39 percent) and inability to have an orgasm (34 percent).
Sex is an important indicator of health, said Georgeanne Patmios of the National Institute on Aging, the study's main funder.
Sexual problems can be a warning sign of diabetes, infections, cancer or other health woes. Untreated sex issues can lead to depression and social withdrawal, and people may even stop needed medications
—One out of seven men used Viagra or other substances to
because of sexual side effects, the researchers wrote.

Colbert's wrist cast to be sold on E-bay
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Stephen Colbert will auction the cast that helped mend his broken left wrist to benefit the Yellow Ribbon Fund.
The cast will be auctioned on eBay after Thursday night's "The Colbert Report," Comedy Central said Wednesday. It has been signed by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, CBS "Evening News" anchor Katie Couric, NBC "Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams, Fox News "The O'Reilly Factor" host Bill O'Reilly, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., NBC "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert and White House Press Secretary Tony Snow.
Bids will be accepted until Sept. 3, with the winner to be announced the week of Sept. 10 on the "Report." Proceeds will go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a charity that assists injured service members and their families.
"If I had known that it would give me the opportunity to help our wounded veterans, I would have shattered my triquetrm a long time ago."
"If I had known that it would give me the opportunity to help our wounded veterans, I would have shattered my triquetrum a long time ago," Colbert said in a statement.
The 43-
year-old
comedian
injured his
wrist June
27 in a fall
while running around
his New York studio before tapping an episode. He didn't publicly reveal the injury until he
was fitted with the cast, which he unveiled on the program's July 26 episode.
Since then, Colbert has gotten an extraordinary amount of material out of the injury, including repeatedly lamenting Hollywood's glamorizing of wrist violence. He also created a red "WristStrong" bracelet, which parodies the "LiveStrong" bands developed to benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Proceeds from purchases of WristStrong bracelets (which can be bought at www.colbertnation.com) will also go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund.

More mine regulations, still more mine collapses
Governmental promises to 'review' safety regulations too slow to prevent tragedy
Miners put their lives in danger every day and we are supposed to protect them, so why are we throwing in the towel when they need it the most?
People put themselves in jeopardy to help protect, serve and provide for our society. They "choose" to do so and as the saying goes, 'Someone's gotta do it.' Although some of these dangers and hazards are imminent, what else can and should we be doing to further protect those people who are doing the jobs that we don't want to do but 'someone's gotta do it?' Some people say, "Should we be surprised when an accident or even a death occurs on a hazardous job?" We respond with a definite yes we should. We should be surprised and appalled that accidents continue to happen. Any accidents, or even preventable deaths, deserve a second thought, perhaps even three or four.
It is well known that coal mining is a very hazardous job and it has received ample news coverage regarding and acknowledging those hazards. That coverage
reached a peak in 2006 after the Sago Mine explosion in West Virginia in January that left 12 miners dead. More recently, the fate of the six miners who have been trapped in the Crandall Canyon Mine since Aug. 6 is growing dim. "It's likely these miners may not be found," is the statement from officials that should haunt our thoughts as we continue to watch the status of the miners day after day. As a society, we should find it disturbing that because of our needs and necessities, men have put their lives in danger and we are telling them and their families that we are going to do nothing more in terms of rescue or even recovery.
Since last Thursday's rescue attempts resulted in the death of three rescue workers, further attempts have been suspended as the mine has been deemed too dangerous to risk further injury or death. Thursday's events cast an even gloomier shadow over the small community in Utah. However, the rescue workers who perished were volunteers and knew the dangers of their job, some saying that they felt they had to be there. Miners follow a code, somewhat similar to that of the military, in which they decree "No miner left behind." Officials are stripping them of following that code by not even attempting to retrieve the bodies if indeed they are deceased.
Across the world, families in China are experiencing the same feelings of lost hope and grief, as officials there have done little to comfort or keep them informed of the status of the 172 miners who remain trapped due to excessive rains and flooding. All families are outraged, in China and Utah, feeling that officials have given up on their loved ones. They could still be alive, and by not attempting to answer that question, the mining companies are abandoning all hope. USA Today contained a story regarding six men who had been trapped for 10 days in 1968 in a flooded mine in West Virginia. The men had been assumed dead, and rescuers were surprised during the 'recovery' to not have found corpses, but the men still alive. They didn't give up and neither should those in Utah.
these 'accidents' is that some have been caused by human error. Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone's mistakes could cost another human being their life. The Crandall Canyon Mine shouldn't have even been operating because of the extreme hazards and violations that inspectors had issued. On Aug. 19, the US Government 'promised' to review the Federal Mine Safety Rules, again. Again because they 'reviewed' them after the Sago Mine tragedy; however, obviously that review didn't not accomplish or change enough. How many men need to die and forever become entombed in these mines for there to be obvious steps taken to prevent these atrocities? Should we be surprised? Yes, and we should continue talking and writing about it until something is done. No accidental or preventable death should ever be acceptable.

Sporting a hat? Careful not to 'cock' it.
One would think that men would like being compared to a penis. In an ideal world a nickname for a man that also doubles as a nickname for

ROSS STEWART
a penins has the chance of being held up as a national treasure and could one day have a museum built in its name somewhere in the San Francisco Bay area. But I'm slowly coming to realize that this
is not an ideal world and that people really do know when you're making fun of them. Strangely enough, cockheads have enough intelligence to know that their nickname is not a term of endearment.
My roommate and I have coined a new nickname for those guys you see running around with their hats "cocked" to the side. They are now called "cockheads" or in the instance of a female cockhead, a "cockette."
The term "cockhead" came to existence after he and I attended a party our second day in town. We went to a rather large house party in the student ghetto and I had a moment of culture shock; I had never seen so many grown men wearing their caps cocked to the side in one location. I lost count (yes, I was counting; sue me).
I asked my roommate what he thought about this. He and I have about the same stance on such people, who do so look like idiots, though I seem to take it a step further with my opinion that if there is a draft, people who wear their caps cocked to the side should be drafted first. But hey, that's just me.
We had both grown tired of call-
manner.
I think I missed something, probably around the time I was in 8th grade, when it became in style to cock one's hat to the side, even
if one was not a gangster hustling for dough on the corner. Maybe I just don't watch enough MTV; I don't know, we don't purchase cable at our apartment.
I considered imploring my fellow cockhead students to mend their ways and come back to the normal side of living, the less idiotic-looking side at least, but have come to realize that it is best not to argue with fools.
So, cockettes and cockheads, I won't ask you to come back to the side of reality that does not look like a fool. I'm just going to laugh at you every time I see you on campus. This goes as well for the guys who wear those girlie bug sunglasses that cover half of their faces. I don't stifle my laughter well.
I guess we'll see how cool you cockheads are when the time for a draft comes along, that is as long as the government gets wind of my genius idea and implements it in time. I can see the questionnaire for the draft at the post office now: "Please check here if you are a cockhead."

Ministry toward Wal-Mart. Be it because you find their business practices a little dubious, or you are just more of a Target person, most Lawrencians feel reluctant about stepping into that Coliseum of Consumerism, as evidenced by the
ZACH WHITE
highly credible fight over the intended second store on the north side of town. Heck, we would be surrounded.
But then there's that special Lawrence-residing, university-attending, left-wing, attempted counterculture kind of argument against Wal-Mart, and other such mega-chains, with which I am forced
to disagree. And that is the view that these corporations are perfect examples of capitalism failing, and thereby
some sort of justification for every Marxist belief thought to be awesome when 15 years old. But this is simply
unfair.
Now Wal-Mart is evil; evil as the dickens. But just because it demoralizes its employees, destroys local businesses, and seems to have launched a personal crusade on the rights of millions of people and all things good and holy does not justify the denunciation of an entire economic system, no matter how much
you want to believe in a 19th century German freeloader in bad need of a brush. In fact, Wal-Mart stands for hardly any kind of capitalistic qualities at all. I mean, sure they've got the whole supply and demand thing down, but what about the whole self-interest and power of the individual thing? And if they impersonally crush not only the interests but the will to live and the dreams of everyone they touch, all to further the profits of the corporation, it seems selective in their interpretation of the philosophy. It would be like being a great figure in Christianity yet only ever talking about or practicing the parts with Jesus and Paul talking about washing peoples feet, however numerous those particular passages may be.
A point further: I currently work at Dillon's. I work at Dillon's as a cashier, which could probably be done by a child, some higher apes, and most assembly line automata
in Detroit. Now it has never been, is not, and will never be in my own interest, in any possible meaning of that word, to use my movable arms to push eggs over a laser towards a mentally challenged bagger. And the fact that I am doing that is an insult to myself and our world, and that sentiment is assuredly shared by everyone who has ever been in my position, which is probably why employee theft is a larger cause of loss for stores that any other source (so claims my training video).
While on the other hand, the local businesses that fill and maintain the vitality of our downtown, the ones that are thought by the intended audience of this column to snub their little noses at the capitalist establishment, are the ones that are truly carrying the soul of our favorite laissez-faire Scotsman, Mr. Adam Smith, because it is they that use their special skill to work for themselves, and not some heartless,

Adam Burnett's "The Death of Romance" hits the stage
BY MATT LINDBERG
mlindberg@kansan.com
The Department of Theatre and Film recently announced its cast for its first four shows and is excited for the debuts. Much consideration is taken when the Department of Theatre and Film decides which scripts make each semester's lineup. With hard work and dedication, dreams can often become reality. Just ask Adam Burnett, Topeka senior, who recently learned the play he penned, "The Death of Romance", will come to life with the help of the University Theatre this November.
"It's about a romance novelist who is writing the end of her ongoing series, similar to J.K. Rowling with 'Harry Potter' and she is trying to figure out how to kill off her characters." Burnett said. "Meanwhile, she is dealing with the death of her father and some other turmoil."
The script, which was recently finished, has been a work in progress for almost two years.
Expanding the script to its final product included meeting with the Department of Theatre and Film's Seasons and Selections Committee on multiple occasions. Those
"It itated as an idea I had that I made into a one-act play about two sisters whose father died and how they deal with the loss," Burnett said. "I expanded it to a two-act play and it went from there."
around Burnett think the length of work in progress on all his scripts pays off and those around him agree.
"Adam is very, very talented," said Charla Jenkins, Director of Public Relations for the Department of Theatre and Film. "I've looked at a couple of his plays and he has improved with each draft. He brings a lot more depth to his writing considering how young he is and he is just a mature writer."
As a writer, Burnett hopes he is able to give women significant roles in his works.
"My personal agenda has always been to write good roles for women, because women have not always played an important role in theater until recently," he said. "I want to give them a powerful voice."
Burnett's unique writing earned him a spot in the La MaMa International Playwright Retreat, which recently took place in Italy. Burnett said the retreat started in the 1960s and features the best playwrights.
"Lisa Cron a led the retreat. We would wake up each morning and work on partner activities until noon and then would focus on our own work for the following six hours." Cron is a playwright who was nominated for a Tony award for her play 'Welly'

Burnett said the experience was intimidating because he was the only non-professional playwright to attend the retreat.
"I felt like a tadpole in a large sea because there were playwrights from Yale there and some who had off Broadway shows," he said. "But it did allow me to make connections to 'the real world.'"
Burnett was able to meet a female lyricist who writes music for plays and will collaborate with Burnett in the fall on another one of his upcoming yet-to-be titled plays.
"I'm going to go to New York City in October to work on a script with her," he said. "The work shop helped build my craft—it was the first time I felt like a real artist."
"The Death of Romance" will makes its debut in November, but Burnett said watching his show as opposed to acting and directing in it will be nerve-racking.
"The Music Man" Cast
"I'm an actor as well, and when I go on stage, I have no thought and just go do it," he said. "But opening day when I sit down to watch it I will be nervous."
Burnett said being nervous never goes away and that all playwrights can learn from a bad experience with a show.
"The Death of Romance" will debut at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 29 in Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall, Encore performances will follow Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. The Department of Theatre and Film is excited about the upcoming show as it will give them the chance to showcase original student work.

The White House, meanwhile, sought to quiet a political tempest with Iraq's prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki.
The spat appeared to ease, but al-Maliki's sharp words signaled a fraying relationship with his key backer nearly three weeks before Congress received a pivotal progress report on Iraq.

Foerder KU quartermark Bobby Doglass淋 the r-e-c o o r c o o f for the most reshining yards by a quartermark for 34 years.
Vick boasts successful career outside dog fighting
BRYAN WHEELER
After the news of Atlanta Falcons star quarterback Michael Vick agreeing to plead guilty for illegal dog fighting and gambling operations, the National Football League is seeing its worst days in the media spotlight.
Vick is facing mandatory jail time of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and his career in the NFL is in jeopardy.
Vick, who is most known on the field for his versatility as an athlete and ability to run the ball at the quarterback position, draws similarities in talent to former University of Kansas All-American quarterback Bobby Douglass. Off the field, however, their similarities end. It can be put to rest right now that Douglass was not involved in any illegal dog fighting activity.
Last season, Vick broke the NFL

single-season record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback of 968 yards, with 1,039 yards from the line of scrimmage, a record that stood for 34 years by the former KU standout.
To set the record straight, it should be noted that Douglass played in the NFL at a time when the regular season consisted of 14 games
instead of the current 16 game season that Vick played. Had Douglass played in a 16 game season, he would have been on pace to rush for 1,106 yards.
In college, both quarterbacks led their teams to the most impressive seasons in each school's history. Douglass, who played for the University from 1966 until 1969, led the University to a tie for the Big Eight Championship and to the Orange Bowl against Penn State in 1969. Vick similarly led Virginia Tech to the National Championship Game in 2000 against Florida State University.
SEE WHEELER ON PAGE 6B
In the pros, Vick and Douglass' careers were comparable as well. Both Vick and Douglass were somewhat inefficient throwing the ball, but could run it well. Off the field, Douglass gained semi-celebrity status and even married former Playboy Playmate Carol O'Neal. Vick became the face of the Atlanta Falcons franchise and received a 10-year $130 million contract, the highest in NFL history.
Linebacking positions brimming with talent
Mangino may need to improvise with defensive line

The problem—too much talent and not enough playing time to go around.
The solution—a little bit of mixing and matching.

Kansas coach Mark Mangino entered the preseason with two elite middle linebackers competing for one spot. By the third practice, junior Mike Rivera had moved to the outside, which left room for junior Joe Mortensen on the inside.
quickly and that the linebackers should be solid in 2007.
"Mike Rivera has been working at outside linebacker because we're thin at that position in terms of depth," Mangino said. "He's playing out in space and he's starting to feel more comfortable out there."
The starter at the other outside spot will be junior James Holt. After recovering from an early injury, Hold took over for the injured Eric Washington late in the season. His physical makeup is more safety than linebacker but his lean 220-pound frame makes him the team's best linebacker in zone coverage.
"The linebackers are playing their responsibilities very well in the passing game. We're starting to get a good rhythm in that area."
Mangino said Mortensen has taken to middle backerback, his natural position.
Rivera was plenty comfortable last season as an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention middle linebacker. But Mortensen was not fast enough to play on the outside, where his responsibilities included covering shifty slot receivers.
MARK MANGINO
Head coach
"Ive really liked the way things are coming together," Mangino said. "The linebackers are playing their responsibilities very well in the passing game. We're starting to get a good rhythm in that area."
Sophomores Arist Wright and Olatan Oguntodu are the top reserve linebackers. Oguntodu could see significant action as a pass-rusher in the "bandit" package. The team worked on "bandit" and a few
other packages during open practices earlier this month.
Mortensen said the coaching staff implemented the additional packages to confuse offenses and get fresh defenders onto the field as often as possible.
Mangino said the competition for playing time behind Mortensen was not over. Possible

Team USA expects big things this year
BY BRIAN MAHONEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Jerry Colangelo insists he was not out to build a team of All-Stars when he assembled this year's the USA Basketball national team.
But maybe an All-Star team is exactly what the United States needed.
The Americans brought a strong team into their FIBA Americas tournament opener Wednesday night against Venezuela, one that looked more like the dominant U.S. teams of the 1990s than the ones who struggled so much in this decade.
Carmelo Anthony was on U.S. teams that managed only bronze medals in their past two events, and he said that he likes the way this year's team stacks up.
"I think it's better than both teams just because we have more experience now," Anthony said. "We have guys who have been in situations, tough situations. Even though we lost last year, I think we took a step further toward where we want to be at."
Or, where the Americans used to be.
The United States started using professional players for international events with the Dream Team in 1992. The NBA's top players, such as Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, David Robinson, Karl Malone and Scottie Pippen, all made multiple appearances in USA uniforms during the '90s.
The expected U.S. starting five in this tournament, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Anthony, Jason Kidd and either Amare Stoudemire or Dwight Howard, are all players who someday could join their predecessors in the Hall of Fame.

Texas-sized whooping: Rangers score 30 runs
BY DAVID GINSBURG ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — The Texas Rangers became the first team in 110 years to score 30 runs in a game, setting an American League record Wednesday in a 30-3 rout of the Baltimore Orioles.
Trailing 3-0 in the opener of a doubleheader, the Rangers scored five runs in the fourth inning, nine in the sixth, 10 in the eighth and six in the ninth.
It was the ninth time a major league team scored 30 runs, the first since Chicago set the major league record in a 36-7 rout of Louisville in a National League game on June 28, 1897, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Texas erased a 3-0 deficit by batting around in a five-run fourth. The Rangers made it 14-3 by scoring nine runs on 10 hits in the sixth. The 10 hits matched a club record for one inning.
hit grand slams for the last-place Rangers. Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ramon Vazquez, the bottom two batters in Texas' lineup, each homered twice and drove in seven runs.
The Rangers' total of 29 hits was the most by a major league team since the Milwaukee Brewers had 31 in a 22-2 victory over Toronto on Aug. 28, 1992, according to Elias.

Hours after announcing manager Dave Trembley would return for the 2008 season, the Orioles absorbed the most lopsided loss in franchise history and set a team record for hits allowed in a game.

Longhorns have no reason to lose
All-American hopefuls, Heisman contenders make strong line up
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Sophomore quarterback for the Longhorns Colt McCoy threw 29 touchdowns as a freshman. This year he is considered a contender for the Heisman Trophy.
Texas coach Mack Brown has compiled quite the résumé since taking over the Longhorn program in 1998.
Brown has coached a Heisman Trophy winner, won the Paul "Bear" Bryant Trophy for being the nation's top coach, and most importantly, brought the National Championship Trophy to Austin, Texas. He has also won at least 10 games for six consecutive seasons.
So, there's no reason to believe that 2007 won't be number seven.
OFFENSE
Texas is ranked fourth in both the AP and USA Today preseason polls and looking at its offense, it's easy to see why. The Longhorns have three skill players in the preseason All-Big 12 football team.
Sophomore quarterback Colt McCoy is the Big 12's premier signal caller and threw for 29 touchdowns as a freshman. McCoy worked on getting stronger in the offseason in hopes of becoming less injury-prone. With all the right parts in place, McCoy is considered a contender for the Heisman Trophy in only his second year.
Senior wide receiver Limas Sweed is a virtual lock for the All-American team this year. Sweed has both size and speed that make him nearly impossible to cover. Opponents likely won't be able to double team Sweed either, as the Longhorns also return their second and third leading receivers, junior Quan Cosby and senior Billy Pittman.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Junior running back Jamaal Charles averaged over five yards per carry last year and should be even better in 2007. The Longhorns do lose three starters along the offensive line, but will reload thanks to Brown's always top-rated recruiting classes.
DEFENSE
The Longhorns were third in the nation against the rush last season. They return five of their front seven starters this year. Junior middle linebacker Rashad Bobino is the leader of

Longhorn senior wide receiver Limas Sweed is likely to be selected for the All-American team.

--the group and recorded nearly 20 tackles for loss in his first two seasons.
Massive defensive tackles like senior Frank Okam will clog the middle to let an experienced set of linebackers make tackles. Seniors Robert Killebrew and Scott Derry will play beside Bobino. Together the three have started over 50 games in their college careers.
'Texas' secondary shouldn't be as
impenetrable as the linebackers and defensive line. The Longhorns lose three starting defensive backs including two All-Americans. Senior strong safety Marcus Griffin is one of the Big 12's best but beyond Griffin, there are clear-cut holes
except for Kansas'. After completing their four non-conference games, the Longhorns play Kansas State at home.
The showdown with the Wildcats will be a chance for revenge as they were the team that knocked the Longhorns out of national title contention last year with an upset in Manhattan.
2006 recap
The Red River Shootout, Texas'
are clear-cut holes.
Regular season record: 9-3
overall, 6-2 Big 12
Bowl game: Alamo Bowl vs.
iowa, won 26-24
Points per game: 35.9
Opponents points per
game: 18.9
The Longhorns may begin the year with a rotation in the defensive backfield until a few underclassmen can prove they are capable of playing every down.
SEASON OUTLOOK
T h e Longhorns will probably be favored in all 12 of their games this year, which
Texas' nonconference schedule could be the easiest in the Big 12
annual rivalry game against O k l a h o m a, falls on Oct. 6 and the winner should have the best chance to win the Big 12 South, as usual.
makes the national championship game a definite possibility. The depth of the Big 12 South, however, makes it more likely that Texas will be defeated at least once.

Douglass'11-year professional football career included the Chicago Bears, San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers.
WHEELER (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Though Douglass played in the NFL at a time before million dollar contracts and endorsements, he still managed to have a long career, which lasted 11 seasons, playing for the Chicago Bears, San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers. Vick on the other hand, squandered a chance to become an all-time great by running his "Bad Newz Kennels" operation.
Because of Vick's alleged negligence to animal rights, the only people who might be able to bring light to the current Michael Vick situation are prison wardens nationwide. If there is one thing certain in this whole debacle, there is going to be a federal penitentiary somewhere with the best prison football team in the land.
Though stories like Vick's are disheartening for fans, it should be reminded that for every Vick, there are another 10 players with stories like Bobby Douglass. Even though Vick broke Douglass record, which
stood for over three decades, records are meant to be broken. For Vick's single-season rushing record, current Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young is just the guy to do it.
Young, the former University of Texas star, is memorable for his spectacular performance in the 2006 Bowl Championship Series, in which he passed for 267 yards and ran for another 200 yards against University of Southern California, leading Texas to a National Championship.
Last season. Young broke another record previously held by Bobby Douglass for most yards ran by a rookie quarterback. Young rushed for 552 yards — surpassing Douglass' mark of 408 yards — while starting in just 13 games.

one. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton is one of the best run-stoppers in the Big 12 Conference. The team captain used his sturdy 285-pound frame to accumulate six sacks and 14.5 tackles-for-loss in 2006. The impressive performance resulted in All-Big 12 Team recognition.
For the time being, McClinton's partner at defensive tackle will be sophomore Caleb Blakesley, who has never started a game at Kansas. It remains to be seen if junior Todd Haselhorst will return from an injury in time to play against Central Michigan Sept. 1.
Junior defensive end Russell Brorsen started eight games last year and has retained the job heading into this season. Brorsen was an improvement over the inconsistent players he replaced last year and could lead the team in sacks this season.
junior John Larson is number one on the depth chart. The 250-pound lineman played 10 games last year but needs to show the ability to hassle the quarterback more frequently.
At the other defensive end position,
Despite the injury and inexperience up front, Mangino said he liked what he had seen from the line in the preseason.
"We've been getting a little bit of pressure on the quarterback," Mangino said. "We're pushing the pocket back and making the quarterback get rid of the ball more quickly."
Jeff Wheeler is the team's third best option at defensive end. The 6-7, Houston native collected two sacks last year. Reserve defensive tackles include true freshman Richard Johnson, Jr., who Mangino said could skip a redshirt, and redshirt freshman Jamal Greene.

"Thanks for coming out," Fine said. "It's hot. You guys could have been out eating ice cream. Thanks."
Mangino then opened the field for fans to mingle with the players.
Marty Carr, 9, raced from his seat
to obtain player autographs. The back of Carr's shirt soon had the signatures of Reesing, wide receiver Marcus Henry. Big Jay, Baby Jay, and Carr's favorite player, offensive lineman Luke Templin, who works with Carr's mother, Julie.
"I came so I could get a lot of KU football autographs," Carr said.
He may have been the day's most enthused fan.
"He's been waiting since we found out about this," Julie Carr said. "He's been asking me every day for a week when we could come to the Stadium."
Stacy Bain, Ness City junior, was among the first KU students in line.
"I think this is a great way to get pumped up for the first game," Bain said.
Bain sat at midfield and snapped
shots of her favorite member of the team.
"I love Mangini!" Bain said. "I think he is a great coach."
For at least one day, hope sprung eternally for football fans. Bain predicts an 8-4 finish.

Missouri players return, participate in practice
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri coaches are trying to slowly nurse both potential starting cornerbacks to health in time for the Sept. 1 season-opener against Illinois at St. Louis.
Finally, there is encouraging news for both.
Starter Darnell Terrell, slowed by a spring injury to his hamstring.

year for the 8-5 Tigers, leading all cornerbacks with 70 tackles, including 12 in the Sun Bowl loss to Oregon State. Ricks had 40 tackles.
But after those two, the most experienced cornerback is Paul Simpson, a junior college transfer who played in every game but made just 13 tackles. Of all the cornerbacks vying for playing time, only Terrell has intercepted a pass.
"We're just trying to slowly bring them back without taking steps backwards right now."
Terrell said that his injury, and

Cornerbacks coach Cornell Ford said that having both players back was a relief but that the team isn't rushing them onto the field.
The hamstring injury has been an ongoing concern for Terrell. He re-injured it twice during summer conditioning drills. Now, he's hopeful it is fully healed as he prepares to lead a cornerbacks corps that is light on experience.

"It was kind of a blessing in disguise because we gave guys a chance to go against better
competition and get those guys a lot better," Terrell said. "I think, as a whole, we're going to be a good group."

"Game week, he's got to be ready to go." Ford said. "Wed like to have him back as soon as we can, but if he's not ready Week 1, we'll wait until next week."
Terrell will most likely play in the opener against Illinois. Ford said that Ricks' playing time will depend on when he returns to full-contact drills.

In addition to Gettis and Simpson, backups at corner will include Castine Bridges, Tremane Vaughns and Kevin Rutland.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson is now the highest paid player in Chiefs history.
Johnson admitted that the extra money brought extra responsibility. He said he was ready to take the responsibility and provide a better life for his family.
Johnson earns his big pay day
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — His 25-
day holdout made Larry Johnson the
most highly paid player in Kansas
City Chiefs history. The Pro Bowl
running back is not sure, however, if
it will make him ready for a full role
in the season opener.
Asked Wednesday if he thought hed be 100 percent ready by Sept. 9 when the Chiefs open at Houston, Johnson said, "No, it'll take a little bit more than that."
"Obviously, coaches are going to do a great job trying to get me
on track to where week two or week three of the season I can hit my full stride," he said. "I'm going to try to pick up as fast as I can."
The 27-year-old appears to be in top shape after working out twice a day in Arizona
"It all depends on how I'm feeling. Of course, the adrenaline takes over," he said. "You're excited about playing. So we'll see. It all depends on what type of game we'll get ourselves into."
Making big money will mean a bigger responsibility, Johnson said. Often in his first four years the 6-1,235-pounder has been described as moody and uncommunicative. Those days are over, he said.
"Whether you want it or don't want it, the responsibility is they made you the highest-paid guy in franchise history. You have to own up to it not only on the football field
The deal includes a guarantee $19 million. He would receive $27.7 million in the first three years of the extension.
while his teammates went through training camp in River Falls, Wis. He signed a five-year contract extension on Tuesday, extending his commitment for five years beyond 2007. Just minutes later, he ran onto the practice field to the cheers of teammates who hadn't expected to see him.
"Whether you want it or don't want it, the responsibility is they made you the highest paid guy in franchise history. You have to own up to it..."
"What I know about myself is I've never been a fast starter coming out of the blocks in a season," he said. "The last eight games is when I really turn it on, so I'm going to push myself as hard as I can to try to even it out."
Many think that taking off during camp and the first three exhibition games could prove beneficial after Johnson carried an NFL-record 416 times last year.

but in the community, and off the field. Those are the types of things you have to live with being the top-paid guy. You have to live with those responsibilities"
It was family responsibility.
he said, that led him to hold out and demand big money after breaking the team rushing record two years in a row and emerging as one of the league's premier backs.
"It's all about family," he said. "When you have the ability and have the opportunity to be the top earner for your immediate family, for your generation, you've got to take the chance. It wasn't like the money was all for me, all to spend on me. I have a dozen little baby cousins. I have an uncle. I have aunts, I have grandmothers. In the future, I'm going to have nieces and nephews. That's for them. I've got to be smart as far as helping my generation, my unborn kids and their unborn kids. If I have the opportunity to take care of them for the long haul, I have to take that opportunity."
Holding out, he said, "was the last thing [he] really wanted to do."

Kansas City Royals left fielder Joey Gathright (2) steals third base past Chicago White Sox third baseman Josh Fields during the fourth inning of their baseball game against the Chicago White Sox in Chicago, Wed., Aug. 22.
CHICAGO — Billy Butler homered and drove in three runs to back Bannian Bannon's strong outing, and the Kansas City Royals held off the Chicago White Sox 7-6 on Wednesday.
Charles Rex Arbogast/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City ended a three-game skid and kept the White Sox from completing their first series sweep at home since Aug. 11-13, 2006, against Detroit. The Royals and White Sox are tied for last place in the AL Central at 56-70.
Bannister (10-7) won for the fifth time in seven starts and lowered his ERA to 3.28, eighth-best in the American League. After giving up two runs, three hits and a walk in the first inning, the rookie right-hander retired 18 of 21 batters.
Bannister left with two outs in the seventh before Jimmy Gobble got out of the inning.
The White Sox cut it to 7-6 in the ninth on Josh Fields' three-run homer off Joakim Soria with two outs. Jim Thome singled for Soria struck out Paul Konerko to end it.
Konkero hit his 25th home run in the eighth Gobble to make
it 7-3.
The Royals struck early against struggling Jose Contreras, scoring two runs in each of the first two innings. The White Sox starter hit Mark Grudzielanek with a pitch in the first and gave up a single to David Dejesus before a sacrifice fly by Butler and a run-scoring single from Ross Gload made it 2-0.
The White Sox tied it in the bottom half on RBI singles by Darin Erstad and Jermaine Dye, but Contrasner (6-16) fell apart again with two outs in the second. He walked No. 9 hitter Jason LaRue and gave up three consecutive singles to Joey Gathright, Grudzielanek and DeJesus to make it 4-2.
Contreras rebounded to throw four scoreless innings before giving way
to Mike Myers in the seventh. In his second appearance for Chicago in two days since being acquired from the Yankees on Monday, Myers got two quick outs before DeJesus reached on a bunt single. Myers then gave up Butler's fifth homer to make it 6-2.
Emil Brown scored from third on catcher Toby Hall's throwing error in the eighth, making it 7-2.

BASEBALL Pujols hits another homer stretches streak to 5 games
ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals' Albert Pujols homered for a career-best fifth consecutive game on Wednesday night, hitting a two-run shot off Florida's Scott Olsen in the first inning.
Pujols lined a 1-2 pitch into the Marlins bullpen in left field, a drive estimated at 382 feet, and extended his RBI streak to seven games. He has homered in six of the last seven games, totaling eight RBIs.
Pujols homered in four straight games on seven occasions, the last time from April 15-18, 2006. He has 14 homers since the All-Star break, most in the NL.
The homer was his 30th of the season and 280th of his career, making him the only player in major league history to hit 30 or more homers in each of his first seven seasons.
Eleven of them have come with the bases empty, and 11 have come on the road.

BIRTHS Brady welcomes first child Wednesday, a baby boy
LOS ANGELES — It's a boy for Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady.
The actress gave birth to the baby in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Moynahan's publicist Christina Papadapoulos said.
"Both mother and baby are doing well,"she said.
Other details were not immediately released.
Brady, superstar quarterback for the New England Patriots, wasn't on the field or sidelines for the first 15 minutes of practice Wednesday. He said he wanted a few days off to attend the birth of his first child. It was unknown if he arrived before the baby was born.
Moynahan and Brady split up late last year after a three-year relationship. Brady is currently dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
Moynahan, a former model, has starred in such films as "Coyote Ugly","I", Robot" and "The Sum of All Fears." Her television credits include "Sex and the City" and the ABC series "Six Degrees."

My mom has always cut my hair. Aside from one catastrophic "bangs at the hairline" incident, she has never failed me. Last year, I made my first visit to a salon to see what I had been missing out on, I felt nervous. How much was I supposed to tip her? What if I hated it? One hour and one luxurious wash-and-style later, I thought to myself, "why haven't I done this sooner?" Though I was thrilled with the results, I still usually make appointments with my mom instead of the salon to save money. Read about other student's primping habits and the dough they spend in "Keeping up appearances" on pg. 8. Then study up on Nicole Korman's studying tips on pg. 3, and congratulate yourself on looking good and being so damn organized. Welcome back, indeed.

Tips on how to make the most of your study sessions by Nicole Korman
Organize
Kristine Scott, assistant director of the Academic Achievement and Access center, says that it is important to organize and balance your schedule. This way you can make a schedule early and set aside an appropriate number of hours to study each day. She says that once you are organized, you should review class material that you have learned each week so that the information stays fresh in your mind. It can be quick, but make sure that it is enough that you won't be cramming all the information you learned the night before a test.
Pick a Spot
Find a distraction-free study spot where you can focus. Scott says that you should pick a time of day when you are most alert to study, whether in the morning, evening or late night. You should also choose a spot without TV, music or friends to distract you from your studies. Gather up your pens and highlighters and force yourself to settle into your new no-Facebook-allowed zone.
Studying
Start studying for tests weeks before and don't procrastinate. The first exam can be an eye-opening experience. Scott says you should study in 50-minute blocks with a 10 minute break for about two hours. You should also break up your studying in equal parts to help with concentration. Study groups, busy scribes and flash
cards are all good tools to use during studying.

Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition services at Wattkins Memorial Health Center, says that diet and exercise can affect your studying. Eating high-protein foods like cheese, peanuts and peanut butter can make you more alert. Also, overdoing caffeinated beverages can do more harm than good. She says that one cup of coffee or one can of soda is all you need to stay alert and focused. If you drink too much caffeine, it can cause headaches and irritability. Exercise is also good even if done in small amounts. She says that a 10-minute walk is enough to reduce stress and allow you to focus better on the task at hand.

VEGGIE TALES
Meat free— the way to be? by Jaime Netzer
VanRiette says. "Then barbeque season
The Lil'Smokey flew across the elementary school lunchroom and struck Casey Millstein, 2007 graduate, straight in the back of the head. She sat, humiliated. Millstein wasn't the victim of a rowdy food fight; instead, she was directly and purposefully pegged with a sausage because of her personal choice never to consume meat.
Millstein is just one of millions of Americans who have made the conscious decision to avoid meat in their diet. Whether they avoid meat for health, religious, or ethical reasons, for Millstein and many others, the benefits of vegetarianism far outweigh any pain inflicted by a flying hunk of meat. Millstein endured tearing for years in her small town elementary school."I would go up to get milk and come back
Millstein has been a vegetarian her entire life. She has never intentionally consumed a piece of meat or fish. Her parents raised her and her brother on a plant and dairy-based diet, and Millstein says she has never craved the taste of meat.
to find turkey in my peanut butter and jelly sandwich, "Millstein says. 'I was the only kid in my whole school who was vegetarian they just didn't understand it."
Millstein says her family first avoided meat for health reasons. Her father, who ran track for KJ, became a vegetarian in college because he noticed he could work out sooner after he ate if he avoided meat. The benefits of a plant-based diet are numerous, says T. Colin Campbell, PhD, professor at Cornell University and nutrition researcher. Campbell, who was raised on a dairy farm milking cows, now avoids dairy and meat entirely, but not for ethical reasons. The research Campbell and others have completed have motivated his diet change.
In general, a vegetarian diet can create good mental and physical health, Campbell says, in addition to preventing heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. New research is suggesting that a plant-based diet can even reverse the effects of heart disease. But
diet alone isn't enough
COOKED OYSTERS AND PEANUTS
to ensure good health. Campbell adds that regular exercise, adequate water, and getting some sunshine are just as important as eating well for overall well-being.
Other people avoid eating meatforethicalreasons.Natalie Penn, Topeka junior, has been a vegetarian since age 13. Even at a young age, Penn thought it was wrong to eat animals. Now that she is older and more aware of what she thinks are inhumane killing practices, she has decided on an even stricter diet. Several months ago, Penn made the decision to switch to a vegan diet and avoid all dairy products as well."I recently learned about the percentage of puss that manufacturers are allowed to put into dairy products," Penn says. "So it's about a gross-out factor too."
Penn, who tried switching vegan last summer and didn't stick with it, admits that the switch has been tough, and that it's really disappointing to see everything that she is no longer allowed to eat, but that she is constantly learning about other food options she wasn't aware of, and that part has been fun.
Not everyone who tries a vegetarian diet is happy about saying good-bye to meaty dinner options. Gideon VanRiette, lola senior, was a strict vegetarian for three years, and often missed meat.
"I had ethical reasons for abstaining from meat," RanViette says. "I was never one of those vegetarians who proclaimed to not like the taste of it."
Van里ette began eating meat again after discovering he loved Thai food: "Most Thai food is prepared in fish sauce, which is cheating for a strict vegetarian."
VanRiette says. "Then barbeque season started, and it was all over."
VanRiette still does not eat meat every day, and says that he avoids cooking meat for himself entirely, opting only to use vegetarian recipes.
Millstein has also enjoyed learning to cook vegetarian recipes in her own house. Millstein's father purchased the house for her and her brother her sophomore year, and offered a $50 deduction in rent to any roommate who promised not to bring meat into the house. Millstein remembers one of her roommates, who worked at a pizza shop, sitting on the driveway some nights and munching away at pizza with meat on top. She appreciated his respect for her choices.
Penn has also been impressed by the respect of campus omnivores. She and a friend sat in front of Wescoe last May with a petition to vegan-ize dining hall options the at KU. Penn obtained 350 signatures on the petition, and not all of those signatures were from vegans or vegetarians." It was impressive to see that other people support the vegetarian cause and lifestyle."

Fancy cremes and badger brushes—it's not always easy preservin' your sexy.
BOTH ABOVE PHOTOS/ION GOERING
BOTH ABOVE PHOTOS/JON GOERING
When Desirae Rieke's roommates hear the smoothing sound of her toothbrush, they know she has finished primping and is ready to go out.
Rieke, tonganode junior, has her "getting ready" routine so pinned that she can't deviate from it.
After a hot shower Rieke applies half of her makeup. She then blow dries her hair, gets dressed, and puts on the other half of her makeup. She finishes up her hair with a straightening iron, and then tops off her routine by brushing her teeth.
She doesn't remember how or why she developed her priming habits, but she does admit that it bothers her if she does something out of order.
"i definitely notice it, and it throws me off." she says.
Rieke's not alone in her primping patterns. Beauty is a $231 billion industry, and whether high-maintenance or low-

Rieke considers herself high-maintenance, except when it comes to getting ready for class. She spends 30 minutes grooming herself before she comes to campus, but closer to an hour and a half to get ready for a date or a night out with the girls. But no matter how little time she has, she always finds a moment to prep so she feels presentable in public.

"Unless I absolutely have to go without makeup, then I don't," she says. "I make sure I have time, because I do enjoy getting ready."
For some people, the grooming process is a relaxing ritual.
"In general, beauty has always been considered a luxurious experience," says Danielle Romano, editor of DailyCandy.com, afree daily e-mail service that provides insider beauty and lifestyle information to registered members.
Both the availability of products via the Internet and word-of-mouth recommendations have skyrocketed online sales of spaike treatments, according to research conducted by the LPK Beauty Group, an American market research firm.
SHELLING OUT THE DOUGH
Though she considers herself low-maintenance, Ashley Pate goes high-end when she purchases new beauty products. Pate, 2007 graduate, makes a trek twice a year to department store beauty counters to gather up new eye shadows, concealers and other makeup for her growing collection of colors. Because she invests in name-brand makeup, Pate spends between $100 and$ 150 each time.
SUNSHINE
ANNA FALTERMEIER
"It's expensive, but it's good stuff"
she says. "You get what you pay for."
Kyle Kitson, Hayes senior, spreads his homemade shaving lather on his face in preparation for a close, relaxing shave.
What she's paying for is MAC (MakeupArtCosmetics)eyeshadow, which runs at $14 a compact, and Benefit Cosmetics products. What she's also paying for is extensively-designed packaging that adds value to the name-brand products she uses, according to the LPK Beauty Group. Innovation in packaging blurs the lines between prestigious versus mass brands, the group says.
Where Pate's money is not going, though, is to haircuts. She dodges this expense by either receiving a haircut at a gift or by handing over a pair of scissors to a trusted friend. Until this past January, Pate hadn't visited a salon in ages. She got her first professional cut and color in years at a Los Angeles salon as a gift from her aunt. Because she did highlights and low-lightings and is a natural blonde, Pate doesn't worry much about visible roots growing in — meaning she doesn't have to pay for color upkeep.
Pate is in the minority of consumers who pass on indulging in salon hair treatments. The professional beauty services market in the U.S. is a $62 billion industry, according to a 2006 study by Research and Markets. The professional services market is expected to grow at a rate of 4 percent through 2010.
Alyson Beach, Winfield senior,
isn't as relaxed about her hair as
Pate. Beach visits a salon every
three months for a trim and dishes
out about $25 per visit to keep her
mane maintained. In addition, she
keeps her hair color vibrant with
highlights every six months, which
costs her$ 40 every time.
Over the course of a year, Beach spends close to $200 to keep her hair healthy and radiant. In addition to her regular maintenance fees, she spends an additional$ 30 a month keeping herself stocked up on personal care products such as makeup, skin care and hair spray. She opts for drugstore brands when purchasing these products to make her dollars stretch a little further.
Beach spends approximately $360 a year, nearly a dollar a day, to keep up her appearance.
"I don't worry about what I'm spending too much because keeping up my look is just one of those things you have to do."
Girls aren't the only ones who fret about their appearance. Guys
Kitson,Haysenior,spends plenty of time keeping up his appearance through shaving and finding new colognes to wear on dates. But he not just gliding a four-bladed razor across his face every day or spritzing on his old Spice.
MAINTAINING YOURSELF
"Ive always been a very scent-oriented person. My sense of smell is stronger and more acute than my other senses," he says.
Kitson is a cologne junkie: he owns 27 different scents, and is constantly on the search to add more. He enjoys letting his sense of smell guide him through individual fragrance notes in his colognes, from spicy or sweet to fruity or aquatic. A self-described "connoisseur of cologne", Kitson hunts for unusual scents that not every man on campus will be sporting. His latest discovery: 'LArtisan, a French line of fragrances.'
Label him metrosexual, if you must, but Kitson knows his fine grooming habits now will pay off in the future, and already sees how male grooming is catching on in the corporate world.
"You see high-powered attorneys going out for manicures now. It's all in the way you present yourself to people," he says.
Romano, the DailyCandycom editor, describes the metrouspheron phenomenon as "men catching on to what women have known for years." She says that in the New York City area, men have been flocking to manicurists in record numbers.
"Society is becoming more vocal about accepting relaxation and grooming." she says.
Kitson also indulges in a classic style of shaving that provides him both a smooth face and a calming experience.
Kitson uses the old-fashioned "wet shaving" technique. He prefers to use a single blade safety razor, shaving brush and shaving soap to get the perfect shave. He whips his own shaving father with a badger-hair shaving brush and creamy, round soap, and spends up to 20 minutes smoothing his face, a technique he learned from www.menessentials.com.
"Part of what I enjoy about traditional shaving is that it used to be part of the bonding experience between father and son," he says. "It was this you're becoming a man'moment and that doesn't happen anymore." Though Kitson's own father uses an electric razor, he plans to teach the wet washing process to his future sons to keep an old

THE FEEL-GOOD FACTOR
The only place you'll ever catch John Witt wearing sweatpants in public is in the gym.
-3/4
Witt, Eagan, Minn., junior, refuses to leave the house dressed in anything less than his best and prefers to keep the sweatpants and muscle tees at home.
Witt says whether he's going to class, running an errand or getting ready for a date, he always makes a conscious effort to look nice for who is going to see him that day. Though he's not just doing it for himself, Witt says it's a confidence booster to be dressed and showered when he's in public.
"I think that first impressions are really important." he says. "You might meet somebody, or you might have to go talk to a teacher — you never know what's going to happen. It's never bad to look halfway decent."
Witt attributes his gentlemanly grooming habits to his father, who always had a neat and clean appearance every time he stepped out of the door, and to his mother, who gave him advice on how to look nice in public.
"They influenced me a lot. My dad was always in professional clothes that were laundered and pressed and he always looked very put together," Witt says. "I just learned by observation."
Witt also says that as he works his way through college, he is learning more about how to keep up his appearance and wardrobe. This makes him feel better about becoming an adult and dressing

"in high school I was more of the sweatpants type of person," he says "Then one day my little brother made a comment about how i was in college now and needed to quit looking like a burn."
Witt knew that the earlier he started taking care of himself, the easier it would be to transition into the working world.
"I definitely don't want to be that person that you think, 'wow what happened there?"

Approximately 60 percent of women color their hair either at home or in the salon. But only
a little more than 50 percent of women over the age of 18 crave a professional color treatment, meaning something must be going well with boxed hair color.

WHAT it's LIKE TO STAGE A CONCERT
If you recently accepted a flyer from a seven-foot tall silver robot on Wescoe Beach, you might have touched the
MYSPACE.COM/REPLAYLOUNGE
hand of Chris Armstrong, Armstrong, Lawrence sophomore, created and is promoting the third annual Burcham
Park Music For The Masses concert in Lawrence.
Armstrong got the idea for the concert about three years ago after taking a walk in the north Lawrence park and thinking it would be a sweet place to host a concert, he says. Armstrong mostly books local talent and says the park is far enough away from homes that he receives few noise complaints from city residents.
The savory sounds of this year's event will include a quirky mix of underground hip hop, funk and super-complex "math rock." Past attendance has been smaller, but Armstrong hopes to see around 500 people this weekend.
"I'm trying to get some exponential growth goin," he says.
Though Armstrong organizes the bands, reserves the park and finances
the event by himself, he has a group of volunteers that help him complete tasks like running sound equipment and selling tickets.
He says the most unpleasant part of staging a concert is promoting it, a task that this year includes being baked alive inside cardboard boxes wrapped in aluminum foil.
"I think a lot of freshmen don't really know what's on in town," he says. "It's a pretty big opportunity to let them discover the music scene."
The festival starts this Saturday at 12 p.m. Ticket information, band links and directions to Burcham Park are available at the concert's Web site, www.burchamparkfestival.com. One third of the concert revenue will go to Project Scio, a Lawrence-based charity organization.

LEE INROLLS - IT'S A DAY for Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady.
The actress gave birth to the baby in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Moynahan's publicist Christina Papadapoulos said.
Brady, superstar quarterback for the New England Patriots, wasn't on the field or sidelines for the first 15 minutes of practice Wednesday. He said he wanted a few days off to attend the birth of his first child. It was unknown if he arrived before the baby was born.
"Both mother and baby are doing well,"she said.
Other details were not immediately released.
Moynahan and Brady split up late last year after a three-year relationship. Brady is currently dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Shawn Bowers, Director of Public Relations for SUA, said the event will have all the typical carnival activities to enjoy.
"We are going to have a Ferris wheel on

Anyone with a valid KUID will be given five free tickets. Additional tickets will go for $5.

SPOTLIGHT
"One can go a long time in their life, perhaps their whole life without really engaging in art, the language and mystery and power of art. But if you do stop and take the time to turn towards that, what art serves is it shows a way that stories and peoples and cultures are communicating," said Matthew Burke, assistant professor of art.
Professor's passion for art resonates with students
Burke, who teaches sculpture and drawing, uses his professional experience in the art world to help move students along the path of artistic expression. He transfers his passion to his students to inspire them to explore the artwork of their own imagination.

ACADEMICS
A CREATIVE RELEASE ON LIFE
A task force of faculty and students from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has recommended that the number of required general education hours be decreased from 72 to 60.
Fewer required courses means more flexibility
The recommendation still has to pass through two levels, so this number is likely to change. A decrease in the number of hours would help students have more time
to pursue minors and double majors. Chris Crandall, a member of the task force, said he hoped that it also would help students graduate on time.
The structure of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences would still stay the same, and the 124 total required credit hours probably would not decrease.

The Student Executive Committee passed legislation this summer stating it will no longer pay the fees.
Student Senate will no longer pay registration fees for student groups traveling to regional and national conferences.

Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior and student body vice president, said that the policy was also to encourage groups to bring events to the University, rather than traveling to events off campus.

Change of Heart
BAG the VIOLENCE
Sarah Leonard/KANSAN
Craig Sweets is the editor of the Change of Heart newspaper. Members of the homeless community in Lawrence have been producing the newspaper for eleven years.
A voice for the homeless
Change of Heart is unique among Kansas newspapers
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
ccondron@kansan.com
After graduating from the University of Kansas in 1996, Craig Sweets decided that helping the homeless was what he wanted to do with his life. Since then, Sweets has been editor of Change of Heart, a streetpaper that gives the Lawrence homeless an opportunity to be published.
The paper is composed of stories, poems and artwork submitted by the homeless. They can then receive a small income by passing out the newspaper to the public.
"They don't like to hear people telling them to get a job; this is a job for them," Sweets said. "We want to break down the stigma of these people being called hobos and all sorts of names."

In her last community event, members gathered to learn about the issue of violence in our community. The event was held on Tuesday, September 16th at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Bristol. Throughout the event, participants learned about various forms of violence, including domestic violence, robbery, and assault. They also explored ways to help reduce violence in their own communities.
The event was well received by attendees, with many saying they would attend future events like this. The organizers hope that more people will join in the fight against violence and support those who are vulnerable.

"SHREK THE THIRD" IS NOT FAR, FAR AWAY
There's no doubt that you are aware of the green gentle giant Shrek. But if you have not seen the summer sensation "Shrek the Third," you probably don't know how intelligent fair princesses really are. In "Shrek the Third," the famous five divas, Princess Fiona, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Rapunzel and Cinderella go on a rampage to prove to the world that fairy-tale princesses are not just about pretty faces and luxurious castles, but that they've also got brains and brawn. In addition, Justin Timberlake returns to the big screen as the voice of Artie. Meanwhile, Donkey competes for Shrek's attention with Puss in
Boots, the dashing, swashbuckling cat voiced by Antonio Banderas. An opportunity to get a taste of this summer treat before it hits the stores is not Far, Far Away because "Shrek the Third" is Student Union Activities' feature film this weekend. The film will play at 8 p.m. today and Saturday in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

Detective fired for eating
wife's marijana meathalls
NEW YORK — So much for the meatball defense.
A veteran counterterrorism detective's claims that he flunked a drug test because his wife served him marijuana-spiked meatballs "simply weren't credible," and he has been fired by the New York Police Department, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Thursday.
With the dismissal, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly rejected an earlier recommendation by an administrative judge that the detective, Anthony Chiofalo, be reinstated. Kelly has final say on firings.
An attorney for Chiofalo did not
immediately respond to a telephone message seeking comment.
Chiofalo, a 22-year-veteran assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, was suspended without pay in 2005 after a random drug test found marijuana in his system. The officer denied ever using drugs and demanded a hearing.
During an investigation, his wife said she had secretly substituted marijuana for oregano in her meatball recipe in hopes of forcing him to leave police work.
The detective's lawyers presented evidence that she had passed a lie-detector test, and offered testimony from a toxicologist that the excuse was valid.
Witch accused of throwing
racoon parts at businesses SALEM, Mass. — A self-proclaimed high priestess of Salem witches and a second person were accused of tossing racoon parts on the doorsteps of businesses, allegedly as part of a Wiccan community feud.
Sharon Graham, 46, and a fellow Wiccan, Frederick Purtz, 22, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of littering and malicious destruction of property. Graham also was charged with intimidating a witness.
They were accused of putting a raccoon head and entrails on the doorsteps of Angelica of the Angels and the Goddess' Treasure Chest in May.

David Gavegnano, a lawyer for Graham, and Sean Wynne, a lawyer for Purtz, both denied that their clients had anything to do with the incident. They also argued that at any rate, the malicious destruction charge wasn't valid because the storefronts weren't permanently damaged.
A witness, Richard Watson, told police he accompanied Graham, Purtz and other people when they put the raccoon remains on the doorsteps. He said Graham hoped to frame a Wiccan businessman who had fired Graham from a psychic telephone business last spring.

>> STUDENT SENATE
Groups must pay own fees
Exceptions may be made for multicultural, traveling groups
BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com
Student groups that get Student Senate funds for conference registration fees may have to find a different way to cover their costs.
Student Senate passed a resolution this summer stating that it will no longer pay registration fees for groups traveling to regional and national conferences.
Riley Dutton, Pittsburg junior and chairman of the Student Senate Finance Committee, said that paying for certain groups' registration fees created a precedent that all groups' fees had to be paid for.
"It was putting a financial drain on our resources," Dutton said. "It cost a lot more than we thought it was going to cost."
Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, said that the Senate had trouble funding on-
campus events because it was paying the fees for a large number of groups to travel.
Love said this was not the first time the Senate had changed its policy about paying for registration fees.
She said that the Senate had previously stopped paying registration fees when money was low and then reinstated paying the fees during times of budget excess.
The initiative was passed by the Student Executive Committee, which consists of select members of the Senate who make decisions during the summer. The full Senate will have the option to overturn the ruling next week, when it meets for the first time this academic year.
The Black Student Union generally sends about 40 people to regional conferences each year. Ebony Howard, Fort Worth, Texas, senior and president of the group, said that without Senate funding, the group
would have to find alternative funding or take fewer members.
"We wouldn't stop going to these conferences because they are so valuable." Howard said.
There are two Student Senate policies that make exceptions for multicultural groups and groups whose purpose involves travel, such as Model United Nations, Love said. She said the Black Student Union and other student groups could ask for money for one of those reasons.
Ray Wittlinger, student body vice president and Olathe senior, said that in addition to making sure the Senate didn't run out of money, it also wanted to encourage groups to play host to on-campus activities that bring others to the University, rather than sending students to events off campus.

Such widely reported out-of-body experiences have long been the territory of theology, philosophy and scary movies.
WASHINGTON — The stories seem strange but riveting. A heart attack victim recalls floating in the air, watching paramedics revive him. A surgical patient remembers hovering, watching the doctors operate.
Now scientists have turned their
Now scientists attention to the topic.
Researchers in England and Switzerland have figured out ways to confuse the sensory signals received by the brain, allowing people to seem to be standing aside and watching themselves.
No, they're not using drugs, legal or otherwise.
"I'm interested in the question of why I feel that my self is located inside my physical body. How does my brain know that I am standing right here?" he said.
Henrik Ehrsson of University College London's Institute of Neurology and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, explained that he was interested in a person's perception of the "self."
The research is described in Friday's edition of the journal Science.
And what would happen to the self if a person could effectively move their eyes to another part of

They felt "that their center of awareness 'self' is located outside their physical bodies and that they look at their bodies from the perspective of another person," Ehrsson reported.
"The idea is to change the visual input and its relationship to the tactile information," he said. "The brain is always trying to interpret sensory information. The brain can trick itself."

below the camera, as though it were going to hurt an unseen portion of the virtual body.
Meanwhile, a team led by Olaf Blanke, a professor at the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience at Ecole Polytechnique Federale in Lausanne, Switzerland, led a similar experiment using virtual reality goggles.
The research has applications in neuroscience and also potentially in industrial applications involving virtual reality, he said.
In these tests, the subjects could see a three-dimensional representation of their body, the body of a dummy, or a simple object directly in front of them. The subject then saw the back of the image being stroked with a paintbrush, either in or out of sync with someone stroking his own back.
Those whose backs were stroked synchronously with the virtual image of themselves or the human dummy consistently overshot their position in the direction of the image; but subjects who saw no virtual image or a simple object did not.
Then the participants were blindfolded and backed up, and then asked to return to their original position.
The study aimed at determining how senses play a role in self consciousness, Blanke said.
Ehrsson's research was funded by, among others, the Wellcome Trust, the Human Frontier Science Program, Swedish Medical Research Council and the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research.

INSURANCE
Plan removes many of the spending limits of past student plans. Malott said the board made the changes to better reflect the needs of students. She said the previous plan allowed $250 per year for spending on pharmaceuticals; the new plan allows
A new student health insurance plan is now available.
The Board of Regents passed legislation last year to allow it to
take control of student health insurance. The Regents convinced universities statewide to band together to create a single, comprehensive health care plan, said Diana Malott, assistant director of Student Health Services at Watkins Memorial Health Center. The board cooperated to develop a plan with lower premiums and more benefits.
"We think we're invincible, but the reality is accidents happen every day."

The new Kansas Board of Regents Student Health Insurance
$1,000. The new plan does not include the previous $4,500 cap on outpatient surgery.
The insurance will also pay as much as $100,000 per year per illness. There is also no spending limit
on durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs.
Malott said that many limits in previous policies were unrealistic. As an example, she cited the previous limit of $300 per hospital stay.
"I've never heard of a hospital
stay costing less than $300," she said. "We basically removed all of those negative things from the old plan."
Past policies also included separate plans for international students and other groups. The new plan is tailored to cover all students.
"The idea was keep one plan and keep it simple," Malott said.
According to the new policy, the premium for year-long coverage is $960. Coverage also can be purchased for individual semesters.
Kimberly Guess, Overland Park senior, said students needed to be aware of their insurance options.
"A lot of people our age don't even think about it," she said. "We think we're invincible, but the reality is accidents happen every day."

》 IRAQ
Senator suggests withdrawal
BY ANNE FLAHERTY ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Sen. John Warner, a prominent Republican on military affairs, urged President Bush on Thursday to start bringing some troops home from Iraq by Christmas.
Such a move would send a powerful warning to the Baghdad government that time is running out, said Warner (R-Va.).
Warner said the president next month should announce the withdrawal of a certain number of troops to send a "sharp and clear message throughout the region and the United States" that the commitment in Iraq is not open-ended.
"We simply cannot, as a nation, stand and continue to put our troops at continuous risk of loss
of life and limb without beginning to take some decisive action", he told reporters after a White House meeting with Bush's top aides.
In the congressional debate, Republicans so far have shown a willingness to back Bush on the politically unpopular war. But they said they wanted to see progress by September, when the top U.S. commander, Gen. David Petraeus, delivers his assessment of the war.
Warner's suggestion of initiating troop withdrawals to induce political pressure puts him more in line with Democrats than with Bush, who says conditions on the ground should dictate force levels.
Warner is a former Navy secretary and one-time chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee; he is now the committee's second-ranking Republican.
A White House spokesman, Gordon Johndroe, declined to say whether Bush might consider Warner's suggestion.
Asked whether Bush would leave the door open to setting a timetable, Johndroe said: "I don't think the president feels any differently about setting a specific timetable for withdrawal. I just think it's important that we wait right now to hear from our commanders on the ground about the way ahead."
Warner visited Iraq this month with Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), the committee chairman. Warner said he would not support Democratic legislation championed by Levin that would call for Bush to bring troops home by a certain date.
"Let the president establish the timetable for withdrawal, not the Congress," he said.

Carnival comes to town Night of fun, games will bring out the kid in you
BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com
Riding the Ferris wheel, eating cotton candy and winning stuffed animals is only the tip of the iceberg for Student Union Activities. Saturday night, SUA will attempt to bring students and faculty back to their youth when it hosts its first carnival.
"Last semester, we were thinking of events to plan for the fall, and I thought it would be awesome to have a carnival, something that had never been done here."
said Adam Diskin, Overland Park sophomore and Hawk Nights coordinator. "I just thought it would be fun to do, so I proposed it to the SUA board."
Shawn Bowers, Overland Park senior and director of SUA public relations, said the event would be similar to traditional carnivals people had attended in the past.

"I thought it would be awesome to have a carnival, something that had never been done here."
Diskin said the safety of students was a concern for the University.
"We had various agents provide the rides and games, but of course there is a legal liability with an event like a carnival because of things like the Ferris wheel and
"We are going to have a Ferris wheel on campus, a bunch of different carnival rides and games you would expect," he said. "You will also have the chance to throw

people getting hurt." Diskin said. "A lot of people came together to work on ideas and making them better."
To help promote alternatives to drinking, SUA will give each
student and faculty member five free tickets. Five additional tickets cost $5, and an unlimited access pass costs $10.
Attendees also will have the opportunity to play some classic carnival games and win various prizes. Diskin said the budget for the event was large enough to provide prizes people would want to win.
"We have traditional carnival prizes like stuffed animals, but we also have KU merchandise for the
winners," Diskin said. "There's a lot to win."
Patrick Selly, Olathe junior, said the prizes might persuade him to attend the event.
Bowers said he hoped to see a large attendance because SUA had worked hard to put on the event.
"It might help," Selly said. "I have nothing against SUA, the events they have are just not always higher priorities for me."
"There's no reason to not come because with a valid KUID, you get five free tickets," he said. "That's enough to buy a hot dog, go on some rides and win a prize." Bowers said with more people in attendance, the more likely it would be for SUA to put on big events such as the carnival in the future.
The carnival is from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday in the Student Recreation Fitness Center parking lot. It is open to students, faculty and staff with a valid KUID. Admission is free.

"As coordinator, seeing the entire KU community — students and faculty — coming together would be great," Diskin said. "It's going to be an authentic carnival experience — it's going to be unique and exciting."

SPOTLIGHT
Assistant professor of art Matthew Burke made this sculpture, "A Walk Among Beasts," this year. The piece is made of the hardwoods oak, ash and cherry with pigment. "The piece is a fractured vessel that directs physical and psychological energy allowing for divisions and connections of those energies," Burke said.
Sculpting a new generation
BY JEFF DETERS
JDETERS@KANSAN.COM
Near the back of the Art and Design Building, down the hallways, past a studio and down a narrow flight of steps is an office with no air conditioning. A small, square fan hums as its blades turn, blowing air to a portion of the room.
Matthew Burke sits at his computer. His red shirt is flaked with sawdust. A computer screen displays images of his smiling 3-year-old son, Angus.
Burke, assistant professor of art,
teaches sculpture and drawing. Earlier
in his career, he worked primarily with steel materials, but now he works mostly with wood.
"It's a journey," Burke said. "And how that unfolds is me sitting down in the shop with that material, figuring out what it can do and what it won't do for me.
"As a professional artist, (Matthew Burke) knows what it takes to create and expects nothing less from his students."
"I had been interested in exploring teaching, and I found it tremendously challenging," Burke said. "But I also found it very rewarding. You give a tremendous amount, but you get back more in many, many ways. I have always kind of wanted to be in a profession where I could impact people's lives directly."
A few years later he graduated with a master's of fine arts degree from Queens College in New York. There he met his wife, Melissa, who now teaches drawing at the University of Kansas. After graduate school, Burke spent one semester at Dartmouth College as a visiting professor.
BRYAN PARK Greenville, S.C., graduate student
Burke's artwork has been displayed
Burke had just returned a few days earlier from Midland, Mich., where he was awarded the Alden B. Dow Creativity Fellowship by Northwood University for his artistic contributions. Burke said his interest in pursuing a career in art was natural.
And it's a discussion. The wood tells me that it doesn't want to do this, but it will do that."
"Mostly it's a drive to understand my story and the story of the world that I live in," he said.
Burke, 40, went to high school in Rockville, Conn. He grew up drawing pictures and cartoons. In 1987 at Colby College in Maine, Burke took a foundations course in art. His instructor told him he drew like a sculptor and encouraged him to watch a sculpture class.
"I took to it the minute I walked in the room," Burke said.
ROAD TO KU
at many shows and exhibits, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Arts Incubator in Kansas City. In all, Burke spent 10 years in New York - two of them teaching
art at St. John's University — before coming to the University in Fall 2005.
"I remember coming the day for the interview and meeting the students," Burke said. "The students had a tremendous impact on me. We clicked that afternoon."
When he critiqued the students' work during the trip, the quality of art impressed him.
"It was coming here and making that connection," Burke said. "And seeing the size of this department and the changes that I could come and bring to it. We decided this is where we would come to and start my new life."
BUILDING SUCCESS
Bryan Park, Greenville, S.C., graduate student in metalsmithing and jewelry, said one of Burke's best characteristics was his ability to motivate students.
the authors of their own work. They're the ones who are in control of all the decisions that they make."
"As a professional artist he knows what it takes to create and expects nothing less from his students," Park said. "He understands that students can provide him with new information. His work ethic is inspirational."
Burke spends countless hours in the studio and usually doesn't take his work home, though he enjoys drawing with his son.
"We interact visually on the page with animals, people, etc.," Burke said. "It's a communication that's visual and very accessible for both of us."
As an educator Burke learned to be flexible and told students they were in charge of their own work, not him.
Jordan Briceland, Wichita senior, is majoring in sculpture. He said Burke's teachings had proven beneficial to him and fellow students.
"He strives to create a good atmosphere for his students by establishing a one-on-one line of communication with them." Briceland said. "He wants to see his students succeed in their art, and Matt provides the creative know-how to support them along the way."
Burke said getting students to produce their highest-quality work often meant delving deep into the student's psyche.
"As a teacher you have to change hats," Burke said. "You have to talk about a broader picture of art like, 'Where do ideas come from? What drives them to make art?' Because what's important, and the primary goal of teaching, is that you get the student to understand that they are
"The goal of the artist is to get into the dark and unknown places in one's mind, or in a story that you're interested in," Burke said. "And get in and find out what that crucial thing is that makes it tick. What's that unknown? Uncover that unknown, and then can you bring form to that unknown?"
"That may in the end, be ugly and not be what people want to see," Burke said. "You may offend, but those things are part of this process."
In January Burke will have an art show at the Lawrence Arts Center. Later next year he'll have another show at the Hayden Art Center in Lincoln, Neb.
During class, Burke often speaks about the difficulties that aspiring artists face after graduation. His continued presence in the art scene throughout the country inspires students to follow their artistic interests.

ACADEMICS
Task force may reduce gen eds
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
ccondron@kansan.com
A task force of faculty and students recommended a decrease in the number of required general education hours for undergraduates.
Currently, students have to complete 72 general education hours, but with the new recommendations, the task force is targeting about 60 required hours.
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean Joseph Steinmetz appointed the members of the task force.
"I think 60 is about average for
most state institutions around here and around the country," Steinmetz said. "We would like to see more flexibility for students by having the ability to pursue minors and double majors easier."
The task force decided on this number last spring. It could still change because the proposal still has to pass through two levels before becoming final.
"We require more general education hours than all of our peers," said Chris Crandall, a task force member and psychology professor. "The school has grown with no one to say that we can grow, but we also need to trim."
Crandall said the structure of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will still be the same, but requiring fewer hours would help more students graduate in four years. He said the requirement of 124 total credit hours would likely remain in place.
"These are small tweaks to make things smoother, faster and easier," Crandall said. "We don't want people hanging around here over four years, because it was hard to get their required hours in, or because they didn't take enough required hours freshman year."
A method for going about reducing the number of required hours
has not been decided yet.
"There are a lot of different ways that this can be done," Steinmetz said. "We have to figure out what is the best way, and still deliver a rounded education."
Crandall said the important thing is to make the system more efficient without sacrificing quality.
"These kind of changes are fairly small," Crandall said. "But they could be enough to get a good percentage of students done in four years instead of four and a half or five, and that would be great."

PROTESTS
Activists rally for farm workers' wages
BY SASHA ROE
sroe@kansan.com
Lawrence activists will "have it their way" when they march to the three local Burger King restaurants on Saturday. Marchers will protest for improved wages and conditions for farm workers. Lawrence organizations will support the Coalition of Immokalee Workers with the "March for Fair Food" beginning at
Coalitions unite for 6-mile march
9:30 a.m. at the Burger King at 1100 N. Third St. The three organizations that will sponsor the march are Lawrence Fair Food, Kansas Mutual Aid and the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice.
are the country's most exploited. They earn sub-poverty wages and are unable to form unions, CIW said.
Katy Andrus, Lenexa senior, was a founding member of Lawrence Fair Food last year.
She said the farm workers were viewed only as tractors that harvested the produce used by large
"The suppliers have no choice but to take more money from the workers."
KIM COUGHLIN
Lawrence Fair Food Director
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers is a community-based farm worker organization in Florida. A press release from the CIW said the majority of the Immokalee community is Latino, Haitian and Mayan immigrants who harvest produce for large corporations. According to the CIW, Immokalee farm workers
fast food corporations. Andrus said students were the mouths that consumed this food.
"It's imperative that those two groups come together," Andrus said.
Protestors will continue
from the Third Street location to the Burger King at 1107 W. Sixth St. They will stop for a mini rally then end with a large rally at the Burger King at 1301 W. 23rd St.
Kim Coughlin, Lawrence Fair Food director, said past CIW boycots and protests across the nation had been successful. In 2005, Taco Bell agreed to improve the conditions and wages of the CIW farm workers that provided produce for their restaurants. Burger King has become the next target for the organization.
"Burger King hasn't been willing to work with the CIW," Coughlin said. "They use so many tomatoes that they pressure the suppliers to lower the price on tomatoes. In turn, the suppliers have no choice but to take more money from the workers." At each stop, the managers of Burger King will be given a letter requesting improved wages and conditions for the laborers in Florida.
"I hope they will react positively," Coughlin said. "Because we are only demanding what is right."
Keva Silversmith, Burger King's vice president of corporation communication, said the restaurants have negotiated with CIW for the past couple of years. He said Burger King wanted the best conditions for farm workers, but the restaurants had no direct impact on the situation. The CIW requested Burger King write a check to the organization, but Silversmith said the company wasn't open to that option right now.
"We have no evidence it will improve the lives of the farm workers," Silversmith said. "For an increase in wages, it will have to be the farm employers who directly influence the farm workers."
Silversmith said past CIW demonstrations and past protests had been peaceful. He said local Burger King restaurants were given general protest procedures.
"It is our goal to keep the protestors and customers in a safe, nonconfrontational environment," Silversmith said.
Participants are encouraged to wear blue, the official CIW color, and bring noisemakers and instruments. Coughlin said local musicians would perform and area farmers would provide free, healthy food at the 23rd Street location.
Andrus said she was looking forward to getting coverage for the cause.
"It's going to be a group of really excited people," Andrus said. "We're just trying to get the word out."
Anyone who would like to participate in the march should meet at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Burger King, 1100 N. Third St., or e-mail Kim Coughlin at kcoughlin@riseup.net for more information.

Review launched; miners still missing
HUNTINGTON, Utah — Even as crews began a last effort Thursday to find six trapped miners, lawmakers in Washington launched separate reviews of whether the mining that preceded the thunderous cave-in was too aggressive.
As a drill bored a sixth hole into the side of a mountain, Sen. Edward Kennedy, chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, demanded a litany of documents from the Labor Department about the Crandall Canyon Mine and its operators.
"The loss of life at the mine, and the devastating emotional toll on families of the victims, underscore the urgent need for a thorough examination of our federal system of mine safety," Kennedy, D-Mass., wrote to Labor Secretary Elaine Chao.

The Senate Appropriations subcommittee that oversees labor issues announced plans for a hearing on the mine collapse when Congress returns from its summer break Sept. 5. The subcommittee wants to question Murray and MSHA chief Richard Stickler.

"They are proud to see their work in print," said Loring Henderson, the director of the Lawrence Community Shelter. "When the paper is coming out, they start coming around asking, 'How soon? Can I have extra copies? Can I send some to my family?'"
Sweets hopes Change of Heart will be able to improve after receiving a $9,000 grant last week from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation of Oklahoma City, Okla., which will allow the newspaper to buy two computers, pay for printing costs and pay Sweets a stipend.
The vendors who distribute Change of Heart ask for a $1 donation and get to keep 75 cents of each dollar. They are allowed to keep 10 free papers, and they wear buttons with the Change of Heart logo. Henderson said there were usually about five reporters and five to 10 vendors working on each issue of the paper.
"This will be a tremendous help! Henderson said. "The paper has been struggling for years with donated time."
Tracy Fields, who does most of the artwork for the newspaper, recently wrote articles about the social service league and the Salvation Army in the
paper.
"The paper has a very broad following, and we would like to make it even bigger." Fields said. "There are some really wonderful business owners that are getting involved with distributing the paper."
The paper's next step is to try to build a relationship with the KU School of Journalism, so that students can come help with the newspaper by editing stories, designing the layout and passing it out to the public with the homeless. Although no contact with the school has been made yet, Henderson said they hoped that part of the new grant can be used toward building this association with the University.
Fields said he liked what the paper stood for and thought that the response from the public had been mostly positive.
"The homeless often feel misunderstood," Henderson said. "This is a way for them to get credibility and have their issues explained. It helps in several ways, and I'm still surprised at how important it is to them. They really are pleased to be published."
"We get anything from people being gracious and really interested in buying the paper to,people telling us to get a job," Fields said. "But for the most part people are interested in it."

Carnival comes to town Night of fun, games will bring out the kid in you
BY MATT LINDBERG mlintberg@kansan.com
Riding the Ferris wheel, eating cotton candy and winning stuffed animals is only the tip of the iceberg for Student Union Activities. Saturday night, SUA will attempt to bring students and faculty back to their youth when it hosts its first arrival.
"Last semester, we were thinking of events to plan for the fall, and I thought it would be awesome to have a carnival, something that had never been done here."
said Adam Diskin, Overland Park sophomore and Hawk Nights coordinator. "I just thought it would be fun to do, so I proposed it to the SUA board."
Shawn Bowers, Overland Park senior and director of SUA public relations, said the event would be similar to traditional carnivals people had attended in the past.

"I thought it would be awesome to have a carnival, something that had never been done here."
Diskin said the safety of students was a concern for the University.
"We had various agents provide the rides and games, but of course there is a legal liability with an event like a carnival because of things like the Ferris wheel and

"We have traditional carnival prizes like stuffed animals, but we also have KU merchandise for the
Patrick Selly, Olathe junior, said the prizes might persuade him to attend the event.
Bowers said he hoped to see a large attendance because SUA had worked hard to put on the event.
"It might help," Selly said. "I have nothing against SUA, the events they have are just not always higher priorities for me."
"There's no reason to not come because with a valid KUID, you get five free tickets," he said. "That's enough to buy a hot dog, go on some rides and win a prize." Bowers said with more people in attendance, the more likely it would be for SUA to put on big events such as the carnival in the future.
The carnival is from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday in the Student Recreation Fitness Center parking lot. It is open to students, faculty and staff with a valid KUID. Admission is free.
"As coordinator, seeing the entire KU community — students and faculty — coming together would be great," Diskin said. "It's going to be an authentic carnival experience — it's going to be unique and exciting."

Assistant professor of art Matthew Burke made this sculpture, "A Walk Among Beasts," this year. The piece is made of the hardwoods oak, ash and cherry with pigment. "The piece is a fractured vessel that directs physical and psychological energy allowing for divisions and connections of those energies," Burke said.
Sculpting a new generation
BY JEFF DETERS
JDETERS@KANSAN.COM
Matthew Burke sits at his computer. His red shirt is flaked with sawdust. A computer screen displays images of his smiling 3-year-old son, Angus.
Near the back of the Art and Design Building, down the hallways, past a studio and down a narrow flight of steps is an office with no air conditioning. A small, square fan hums as its blades turn, blowing air to a portion of the room.
Burke, assistant professor of art,
teaches sculpture and drawing. Earlier
"it's a journey," Burke said. "And how that unfolds is me sitting down in the shop with that material, figuring out what it can do and what it won't do for me.
in his career, he worked primarily with steel materials, but now he works mostly with wood.
A few years later he graduated with a master's of fine arts degree from Queens College in New York. There he met his wife, Melissa, who now teaches drawing at the University of Kansas. After graduate school, Burke spent one semester at Dartmouth College as a visiting professor.
"As a professional artist, (Matthew Burke) knows what it takes to create and expects nothing less from his students."
"I had been interested in exploring teaching, and I found it tremendously challenging." Burke said. "But I also found it very rewarding. You give a tremendous amount, but you get back more in many, many ways. I have always kind of wanted to be in a profession where I could impact people's lives directly."

And it's a discussion. The wood tells me that it doesn't want to do this, but it will do that."
Burke had just returned a few days earlier from Midland, Mich., where he was awarded the Alden B. Dow Creativity Fellowship by Northwood University for his artistic contributions. Burke said his interest in pursuing a career in art was natural.
"Mostly it's a drive to understand my story and the story of the world that I live in," he said.
Burke, 40, went to high school in Rockville, Conn. He grew up drawing pictures and cartoons. In 1987 at Colby College in Maine, Burke took a foundations course in art. His instructor told him he drew like a sculptor and encouraged him to watch a sculpture class.
"I took to it the minute I walked in the room," Burke said.
ROAD TO KU
art at St. John's University - before coming to the University in Fall 2005.
"I remember coming the day for the interview and meeting the students," Burke said. "The students had a tremendous impact on me. We clicked that afternoon."
When he critiqued the students' work during the trip, the quality of art impressed him.
"It was coming here and making that connection," Burke said. "And seeing the size of this department and the changes that I could come and bring to it. We decided this is where we would come to and start my new life."
BUILDING SUCCESS
As an educator Burke learned to be flexible and told students they were in charge of their own work, not him.
the authors of their own work. They're the ones who are in control of all the decisions that they make."
Bryan Park, Greenville, S.C., graduate student in metalsmithing and jewelry, said one of Burke's best characteristics was his ability to motivate students.
"As a professional artist he knows what it takes to create and expects nothing less from his students," Park said. "He understands that students can provide him with new information. His work ethic is inspirational."
Burke spends countless hours in the studio and usually doesn't take his work home, though he enjoys drawing with his son.
"We interact visually on the page with animals, people, etc," Burke said. "It's a communication that both its visual and very accessible for both of us."
Jordan Briceland, Wichita senior, is majoring in sculpture. He said Burke's teachings had proven beneficial to him and fellow students.
"As a teacher you have to change hats," Burke said. "You have to talk about a broader picture of art like, 'Where do ideas come from? What drives them to make art?' Because what's important, and the primary goal of teaching, is that you get the student to understand that they are
"He strives to create a good atmosphere for his students by establishing a one-on-one line of communication with them," Bricoleal said. "He wants to see his students succeed in their art, and Matt provides the creative know-how to support them along the way."
Burke said getting students to produce their highest-quality work often meant delving deep into the student's psyche.
"The goal of the artist is to get into the dark and unknown places in one's mind, or in a story that you're interested in," Burke said. "And get in and find out what that crucial thing is that makes it tick. What's that unknown? Uncover that unknown, and then can you bring form to that unknown?"
"That may in the end, be ugly and not be what people want to see," Burke said. "You may offend, but those things are part of this process."
In January Burke will have an art show at the Lawrence Arts Center. Later next year he'll have another show at the Hayden Art Center in Lincoln, Neb.
During class, Burke often speaks about the difficulties that aspiring artists face after graduation. His continued presence in the art scene throughout the country inspires students to follow their artistic interests.

ACADEMICS
Task force may reduce gen eds
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
ccondronkansan.com
A task force of faculty and students recommended a decrease in the number of required general education hours for undergraduates.
Currently, students have to complete 72 general education hours, but with the new recommendations, the task force is targeting about 60 required hours.
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean Joseph Steinmetz appointed the members of the task force.
"I think 60 is about average for
most state institutions around here and around the country," Steinmetz said. "We would like to see more flexibility for students by having the ability to pursue minors and double majors easier."
The task force decided on this number last spring. It could still change because the proposal still has to pass through two levels before becoming final.
"We require more general education hours than all of our peers," said Chris Crandall, a task force member and psychology professor. "The school has grown with no one to say that we can grow, but we also need to trim."
Crandall said the structure of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will still be the same, but requiring fewer hours would help more students graduate in four years. He said the requirement of 124 total credit hours would likely remain in place.
"These are small tweaks to make things smoother, faster and easier," Crandall said. "We don't want people hanging around here over four years, because it was hard to get their required hours in, or because they didn't take enough required hours freshman year."
A method for going about reducing the number of required hours
has not been decided yet.
"There are a lot of different ways that this can be done," Steinmetz said. "We have to figure out what is the best way, and still deliver a rounded education."
Crandall said the important thing is to make the system more efficient without sacrificing quality.
"These kind of changes are fairly small," Crandall said. "But they could be enough to get a good percentage of students done in four years instead of four and a half or five, and that would be great."

》 PROTESTS
Activists rally for farm workers' wages
BY SASHA ROE
sroe@kansan.com
Lawrence activists will "have it their way" when they march to the three local Burger King restaurants on Saturday. Marchers will protest for improved wages and conditions for farm workers. Lawrence organizations will support the Coalition of Immokalee Workers with the "March for Fair Food" beginning at
Coalitions unite for 6-mile march

are the country's most exploited. They earn sub-poverty wages and are unable to form unions, CIW said.
Katy Andrus, Lenexa senior, was a founding member of Lawrence Fair Food last year.
She said the farm workers were viewed only as tractors that harvested the produce used by large
"The suppliers have no choice but to take more money from the workers."
KIM COUGHLIN Lawrence Fair Food Director
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers is a community-based farm worker organization in Florida. A press release from the CIW said the majority of the Immokalee community is Latino, Haitian and Mayan immigrants who harvest produce for large corporations. According to the CIW, Immokalee farm workers

"It's imperative that those two groups come together," Andrus said.
Protestors will continue.
from the Third Street location to the Burger King at 1107 W. Sixth St. They will stop for a mini rally then end with a large rally at the Burger King at 1301 W. 23rd St.
Kim Coughlin, Lawrence Fair Food director, said past CIW boycots and protests across the nation had been successful. In 2005, Taco Bell agreed to improve the conditions and wages of the CIW farm workers that provided produce for their restaurants. Burger King has become the next target for the organization.
"Burger King hasn't been willing to work with the CIW," Coughlin said. "They use so many tomatoes that they pressure the suppliers to lower the price on tomatoes. In turn, the suppliers have no choice but to take more money from the workers." At each stop, the managers of Burger King will be given a letter requesting improved wages and conditions for the laborers in Florida.
"I hope they will react positively," Coughlin said. "Because we are only demanding what is right."
Keva Silversmith, Burger King's vice president of corporation communication, said the restaurants have negotiated with CIW for the past couple of years. He said Burger King wanted the best conditions for farm workers, but the restaurants had no direct impact on the situation. The CIW requested Burger King write a check to the organization, but Silversmith said the company wasn't open to that option right now.
"We have no evidence it will improve the lives of the farm workers," Silversmith said. "For an increase in wages, it will have to be the farm employers who directly influence the farm workers."
Silversmith said past CIW demonstrations and past protests had been peaceful. He said local Burger King restaurants were given general protest procedures.
"It is our goal to keep the protestors and customers in a safe, nonconfrontational environment," Silversmith said.
Participants are encouraged to wear blue, the official CIW color, and bring noisemakers and instruments. Coughlin said local musicians would perform and area farmers would provide free, healthy food at the 23rd Street location.
Andrus said she was looking forward to getting coverage for the cause.
"It's going to be a group of really excited people," Andrus said. "We're just trying to get the word out."
Anyone who would like to participate in the march should meet at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Burger King, 1100 N. Third St., or e-mail Kim Coughlin at kcoughllin@riseup.net for more information.

Review launched; miners still missing
BY MICHAEL RUBINKAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
HUNTINGTON, Utah — Even as crews began a last effort Thursday to find six trapped miners, lawmakers in Washington launched separate reviews of whether the mining that preceded the thunderous cave-in was too aggressive.
As a drill bored a sixth hole into the side of a mountain, Sen. Edward Kennedy, chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, demanded a litany of documents from the Labor Department about the Crandall Canyon Mine and its operators.
"The loss of life at the mine, and the devastating emotional toll on families of the victims, underscore the urgent need for a thorough examination of our federal system of mine safety," Kennedy, D-Mass., wrote to Labor Secretary Elaine Chao.
The six miners have been
trapped since Aug. 6, and searchers have found no sign they survived. Three other miners were killed and six more injured last week when the shifting mountain crumbled around them as they tunneled toward the missing men. Tunneling has not resumed.
Kennedy wants to review several petitions the mine's co-owner, Bob Murray, made to the Mine Safety and Health Administration for changes in his mining plans at Crandall Canyon, among other documents. Experts have said the proposed changes were risky and could have led to the initial collapse.
The Senate Appropriations subcommittee that oversees labor issues announced plans for a hearing on the mine collapse when Congress returns from its summer break Sept. 5. The subcommittee wants to question Murray and MSHA chief Richard Stickler.

Minster: Those who condemn Kansas' alleged bigotry may be ignorant themselves.
EDITORIAL BOARD
Mandatory study abroad an unrealistic goal Though it's an admirable idea international study may be not be an option for many students
The concern, however, is when KU administrators start prescribing a universal solution to an individual problem. Until every single student is filing applications with the study abroad office, there are some students who don't think the experience is worth the costs. When one mission of a university education is to teach students to think for themselves, it is disconcerting to see the administration's paternalistic desire to remove choice and demand compliance.
International experience has recently become a talking point of sorts at KU. From the chancellor down, there is a concerted effort to boost the ranks of KU students studying abroad. Recently, however, the rhetoric has begun creeping from "suggestion" to "requirement." University administrators should take into account the diversity of the student body before making international experience a requirement for graduation.
Currently over one-quarter of KU students study abroad at some point in their academic careers. Efforts are underway to increase that figure to over 40 percent. Ensuring that every student who desires an international experience can obtain one is a laudable goal. Recently, donations to the study abroad scholarship fund have increased, led by a half-million dollar donation from Larry D. Horner and Donna Manning Horner. This will be a great benefit to students seeking foreign exposure in their educations.
The justification for this potential change is fuzzy at best. Recently quoted in the Lawrence Journal-World, Nelson Galle of the Kansas Board of Regents said, "Is this policy necessary? Absolutely." Things which are "absolutely necessary" include air and water. They do not include getting drunk in exotic locales and hooking up with foreigners.
Chancellor Hemenway has said, "Study abroad gives students a great understanding that will make them compete and lead in the global marketplace." How do you quantify "understanding?" Do you have enough already, or do you need more? Can you get it here in Kansas or is it only obtainable elsewhere? Before saddling KU students with what can be an onerous burden, the administration should make their case using specific language, not buzzwords and cant.
This change is based on a myopic view of "the KU student." In this view, the KU student has no spouse, no children, and no "real" job, if any at all. This KU student spends the summer at home working in retail or service sectors. When this student wants to go abroad, he calls home to Johnson County and soon receives a check. Requiring foreign experience is a pleasant burden to be borne by this student.
In reality, KU students have a variety of complexities in their lives. Many don't have parent contributions to their educations, or have spouses and children who will either raise the costs of a semester abroad or who must be left behind. Only each student knows what his situation requires. What works for one student will not work for all. As long as studying abroad is a choice, students who can make it work are free to do so. When that choice is turned into a requirement, it will become a prohibitive onus to some. Administrators should seek to create an environment where everyone who wants to study abroad can, not one where some are kept from a college education because of unnecessary requirements.

Despite friendly marketing, the 2008 Olympics are a sham China's human rights record puts a dark cloud above the Games in Beijing
MARK PETTERSON
O one World, One Dream," is the official slogan of the
2008 Summer Olympics, to be held in Beijing, China one year from now. One wonders what sort of world we would be living in if the rest of the world fails to protest the International Olympic Committee's unconscionable choice of a venue. Threatening to turn the noble gathering of nations into a two-faced farce, it is a disgrace to the Olympic spirit to hold the Olympics in China. From Tibet to Tiananmen Square to the present day, the people's Republic of China continues to inflict numerous and well-documented human rights abuses on both its own citizens and, implicitly, on the innocent victims of the conflict in Darfur, Sudan. Sounds more like a nightmare to me.
pics" by a Washington Post editorial in December, the 2008 Games could be one of true peace and international brotherhood, or they could be a sham, where a sinister subtext lies beneath the Olympic rings.
Coined the "Genocide Olym-
Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably have at least a vague idea of
the crisis occurring in Darfur, Sudan. Here are the basics: the Sudanese government in Khartoum has arbitrarily armed Arab militias called Janjaweed, who terrorize the mostly ethnic black villages in the southern part of the country. They rape, kill and burn entire villages while forcing the survivors to relocate to squalid refugee camps in Chad. By the most conservative estimates, already 300,000 people have been murdered and over 2 million displaced.
This is where China comes in. They are the number one economic and military ally of the Sudanese government, buying $71\%$ of its exports and supplying the genocidal government with arms, both small and heavy, all while repeatedly ignoring and parrying U.N. efforts to place peacekeepers on the ground in Sudan.
Already many politicians, activists and humanitarian groups, most notably Reporters Without Borders, have called for a boycott of the 2008 Games. Congressman Donald Payne, Chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health, has called for a boycott of the Games if China continues to sell illegal arms to the Sudanese government in Khartoum. "It would be the blood Olympics," he said in an interview with VOA News. Eight congressmen recently introduced a bill in the House of Representatives calling for a U.S. boycott of the games. Even Steven Spielberg, originally hired to produce the opening and closing ceremonies, is considering quitting after being informed of China's link to the genocide in Sudan. Certainly if the United States and 64 other countries could boycott the 1980 Moscow games because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, we have the will to push for change in a situation where so many people have been affected.
China's official position is "resolute opposition to the politization of the Olympics." In other words, they're not going to listen. But if they won't respond
to reason and act with decency, we should refuse to support their inhuman ignorance of human suffering. Boycott the games. Boycott their sponsors, and let them know why you are doing it.
Don't take my word for it, though. Find out for yourself. DreamForDarfur.org is a good place to start. As for me, however, I won't be watching the Olympics next year. I won't be counting the gold medals for Team USA, nor will I be cheerening on the US Men's Basketball team. All the medals in the world cannot outweigh the cost of human life that China and Khartoum are responsible for ending. And I won't be drinking another Coke or another Budweiser, eating another McDonald's hamburger, or buying another Adidas shoe until China, Congress, or the International Olympic Committee itself takes drastic steps to deal with this absolutely unacceptable situation.

Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers speaks during a news conference at the Beverly Hills Court on Thursday. Lohan reached a plea deal on misdemeanor drunk driving and cocaine charges that called for her to spend one day in jail, serve 10 days of community service and complete a drug-treatment program.
Lohan avoids felony charges
BY SANDY COHEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan was charged with seven misdemeanors Thursday stemming from two drunken-driving arrests, avoiding more serious felony drug charges because tests showed there wasn't enough cocaine on her to warrant them.
The district attorney charged the 21-year-old actress with two counts each of driving under the influence, driving with a blood-alcohol level
above .08 percent and being under the influence of cocaine, along with one count of reckless driving.
Police found cocaine on Lohan during the arrests on May 26 in Beverly Hills and July 24 in Santa Monica. In each incident, the amounts tested were below the 05 grams required for felony charges, according to the district attorney's office.
Lohan's arraignment was scheduled for Friday but a conference with a Los Angeles Superior Court judge in Beverly Hills was set for later Thursday. A disposition on the
charges could be reached during the hearing, according to Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers.
The maximum penalty for a single misdemeanor DUI conviction in California is 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Conviction on a second DUI charge could draw a penalty of up to one year in jail.
Lohan's legal problems come on the heels of two other high-profile celebrity DUI cases in Los Angeles that resulted in jail time. Paris Hilton served 23 days behind bars after she was found guilty of driving on a suspended license while on probation
for an alcohol-related reckless driving case. Nicole Richie was ordered to serve four days in jail stemming from a December DUI arrest.
Lohan's publicist did not immediately return an e-mail seeking comment about Thursday's charges.
Lohan crashed her Mercedes Benz into a tree on Sunset Boulevard in May and fled the scene to seek medical treatment. Police tests revealed that a white powder found in Lohan's purse was 04 grams of cocaine.
Lohan checked into the posh Promises rehabilitation facility in Malibu after the incident. She left the facility July 13 after six weeks of treatment. She was photographed wearing an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet after her release.

Lohan was arrested again on July 24 following a 911 call by Michelle Peck, the mother of Lohan's former personal assistant. Peck told police she was being chased by an SUV. Police later said Lohan was the driver.
Lohan's blood-alcohol level was between 0.12 and 0.13 percent when police found her, officials said. Police also found a white powder in her pocket that was determined to be .02 grams of cocaine.
After the incident, Lohan said in an e-mail to a host for the celebritynews show "Access Hollywood" that she was "innocent" and the drugs found in her pocket during a prebooking search were not hers.
A woman who was a passenger in Michelle Peck's vehicle sued the actress this month for assault and negligence.
She has reportedly been in a Sundance, Utah, rehab center in recent weeks.
Tracie Rice's suit seeks unspecified damages and payment of medical and other expenses related to emotional distress.

Early detection gives co-host good prognosis
BY KATHY HANRAHAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSON, Miss. — Robin Roberts' prognosis is "quite good."
"The cancer is out of my body and I'm healing from the surgery," the "Good Morning America" cohost told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Thursday, "Hopefully, the plan now is to keep it out."
She announced on ABC's morn-

that it is going to be fine. The road getting there is going to be a little bumpier than 1 anticipated and they anticipated, I am better off than so many people who find it so late and that is why I am grateful and that again is why my battle cry is early detection."
Roberts, who grew up in Pass Christian, Miss., said her mother "was fussing at me" for returning to work less than two weeks after her surgery.
The 46-year-old Roberts said doctors would wait several weeks for her to heal before having her undergo more treatment, which may mean chemotherapy. Roberts said she did not want to be specific about her treatment until she was certain what it will be.
"When it comes to cancer it is personal. It's not one size fits all. You have to do what is right for you."

She added that not every person who undergoes the surgery could make the decision to return that quickly to work.

"When it comes to cancer it is personal. It's not one size fits all. You

Since being diagnosed with the disease, Roberts said it felt like her life was moving at "90 mph." After the surgery, the former sportscaster described the weeks between the next step in treatment as "half-time."

Team relies on depth to replace graduates, those injured early on
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
Aqib Talib earned All-Big 12 First Team and second-team All-America honors in 2006, yet the Kansas secondary as a whole earned the distinction of worst in the nation, finishing the season ranked 119th out of 119 teams in passing yards allowed per game.
Granted, Kansas' weak pass-rush frequently left inexperienced cornerbacks and safeties to fend for themselves against some of the nation's elite receivers. But the blame for several of last year's close losses rests
squarely on the secondary — a unit that is older, wiser and healthier than it was one year ago.
"Last season we went through a lot of adversity because there were a lot of different injuries and a lot of changes that went on in our defense," sophomore Darrell Stuckey said. "But now a lot of us are jelling. We have a lot more experience and more comfort out on the field. It feels a lot better."
Kansas City native, described by teammates as a hard-hitter, has a lock on the free safety job as long as he stays healthy.
Stuckey, Kansas' starting free safety, endured his fair share of adversity last season. He missed the first five games of the season due to injury and failed to get up to speed in the seven games he played. The
At strong safety Kansas will replace Jerome Kemp, who exhausted his eligibility after last season. Though the potential replacements are untested, they could be an improvement. Juniors Tang Bacheyie and Patrick Resby are the top two options.

Riggins was born in Seneca, Kan., in 1949. He attended Centralia High School 12 miles away. The street where the school is located is now called John Riggins Avenue.
Riggins amassed 2,659 career yards in his career. He was twice named an All-Big Eight Conference first-team selection.
He led Kansas in rushing in each of his three seasons (1968-1970) with the team. In 1968, Riggins propelled Kansas to a share of the Big Eight Championship and a trip

Riggins was the MVP of Super Bowl XVII when he rushed for 166 yards, which was a Super Bowl record at the time. He scored the winning touchdown on a 43-yard run in the fourth quarter as the Redskins defeated the Dolphins 27-17 in 1983.
Riggins was named to the 1980s NFL All-Decade team. He still ranks as the Redskins' career rushing leader.
Riggins was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1992. He became the third Jayhawk to be honored, joining Sayers and Mike McCormack.

First games part of Oregon Invitational
VOLLEYBALL
BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com
Following 16 days of practice, the Kansas volleyball team begins its season at 6:30 tonight against Cal State Bakersfield. Count junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart among those pleased with the end of preseason practice. "We've been practicing a lot," she said. "We're finalizing our lineup, and now we just need to get rid of our first game ittters."
The opener is the first of three games that are part of the Oregon Invitational in Eugene, Ore. Kansas will play Idaho State at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and home team, Oregon, at 9 p.m.
The preseason is over. Finally.
"Players probably always think they are ready to go before the coaching staff," Bechard said. "I think everybody across the country would like to have another week to prepare, but I think we're all in the same boat. I think there will be a certain anxiety level going out for the first time when it really counts, but I think our team will be ready to do that."
The team is ready to get started, but coach Ray Bechard said on Tuesday that he was a little more hesitant.
Kansas is coming off a 10-19 season, and its first season without an NCAA tournament berth since 2002. But Kansas finished 7-2 last season during the nonconference portion of its schedule, including a win against No. 16 BYU, Natalie Uhart said that the win against BYU helped the team tremendously and that getting out to a strong start in the nonconference was important again this year.
Bechard said that defining roles for everybody on the team was one of the goals of the tournament. "We have a lot of positions still up for competition, but our goal is to go out and compete favorably and have an opportunity to win the tournament," he said.
A host of other players will vie for the remaining spots, including freshmen Melissa Manda, Karina Garlington and Jenna Kaiser. Manda has the added advantage of playing libero, a position without much competition. A libero is a player who specializes in defense.

Uhart is playing her first competitive college volleyball game since 2005, when she was at her former school, Long Beach State. Uhart said she had experience playing against Oregon from her time there. Uhart said that playing against three unfamiliar teams could prove beneficial to the team. Uhart returns from a knee injury and will most likely join returning starters senior Emily Brown, junior Savannah Noyes, sophomore Brittany Williams and sophomore Katie Martinicch in the starting lineup.
In the midst of making the transition from NCAA Division II to Division I, 11th-year coach John Price returns a team that finished 4-16 last season. Senior outside hitter Sarah Warner is the top returning offensive player for the Roadrunners. Warner averaged more than 3 kills per game last season.
Brown, a Baldwin City native, is the top returning offensive player for Kansas. Brown had 336 kills in 28 matches last season. Noyes and Williams bring depth to the front line, and Martinicch will run the offense from the setter position. Martinicch averaged more than 11 assists a game last season.

IDAHO STATE
In addition to being able to claim Kansas City Chief Jared Allen as an alum, Idaho State has five starters and seven letter-winners returning to a team that was picked to finish seventh in the Big Sky Conference. Jessica Gurney is the only senior on a team that finished 10-20 last season. Edgson had 165 kills and 228 digs last year. Sophomore Christine Van Orden led the Bengals last season with 774 assists.
OREGON
After finishing 17-12 last season. Its best record in two decades, Oregon returns four starters, including sophomore Sonja Newcombe. Newcombe was named to the All Pac-10 Freshman team last season. Senior Karen Wadington, who averaged 1.32 blocks per game in 2006, and sophomores Nevena Djordiev and Neticia Enesi are also back in the starting line-up.

PRICE CHECK Oregon still searching for new baseball coach
Yet another leading candidate to be the University of Oregon's first baseball coach in 26 years has dropped out of contention, meaning more interest may be shown in KU baseball coach Ritch Price.
UC Irvine coach Dave Serrano was scheduled to interview with Oregon athletics director Pat Kilkenny on Monday, but Serrano pushed the interview back because of a scheduling conflict. Now, Serrano won't interview at all after pulling his name out of consideration for the position on Wednesday.

Serrano is the third high-profile candidate to turn down Oregon in the last two weeks and it remains to be seen who's left at the top of the Ducks wish list, but it was reported that Oregon has been contacted by more than 100 potential applicants.

LAS VEGAS
Sports stadium will join hotels,casinos on Strip
BY RYAN NAKASHIMA ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Casino giant Harrah's Entertainment Inc. announced Wednesday that it will partner with AEG, the company that brought David Beckham to the Los Angeles Galaxy, to build
a 20,000-seat arena in Las Vegas capable of housing an NBA or NHL team.
The 5500 million arena, behind the Bally's and Paris hotel-casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, is projected to open in 2010. It's a step toward attracting a pro sports franchise to a city that has tried to persuade reluctant league officials to look past its legalized sports betting.

The deal puts a dent in Mayor Oscar Goodman's plans to have an arena built downtown with the help of tax breaks, but he said such plans would go forward. The site for the Harrah's-AEG arena, a block east of the Strip, is in unincorporated Clark County, outside city limits.
"It's our ambition to create a place that transcends a series of hotels," Loveman said. "The presence of a state-of-the-art events center of this size provides a reason for people all around us on the Strip to come into our neighborhood."
Gary Loveman, the chief executive of Harrah's, which is being bought by two private equity firms in a $17.1 billion deal, said the development was "very much a part of our master plan for Las Vegas."
Harrah's has yet to fully detail its long-awaited vision to link or redevelop its nine hotel-casino properties in Las Vegas, including Caesars Palace, Flamingo, Harrah's and Bally's, which are near the same intersection.
AEG, a subsidiary of Denver billionaire and Qwest Communications founder Philip
Anschutz's Anschutz Co., owns the Galaxy and the Staples Center in Los Angeles and has booked such acts as Celine Dion and Bette Midler at Caesars Palace. It said it was in talks with professional leagues and potential team owners about bringing hockey or basketball to Las Vegas.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the arena announcement "positively impacts the prospects of Las Vegas attracting a major-league franchise" but said there was "nothing new to report" regarding league expansion or the NHL's intentions about a team in Las Vegas.
"It just so happens 2010 is an opportune time for an expansion team in Vegas for either or both (leagues)," said Timothy Leiweke, president and chief executive of AEG.
"That is a matter our Board of Governors would have to consider at an appropriate time," he said in a statement.
The NBA, which has appointed a committee to study a proposal by Goodman to locate a franchise in Las Vegas, postponed meetings after the league was rocked by a betting scandal involving one of its referees. The city hosted the NBA All-Star game in February.

LAS VEGAS — Kobe Bryant regards Las Vegas as Lakers country. So where were all his fans on opening night of the FIBA Americas tournament?
USA plays for small crowd in Las Vegas
FIBA TOURNAMENT
Not at the Thomas & Mack Center, where the Americans debuted before a crowd that was less than half of what they drew last month for a scrimmage game.
The United States was back on the court Thursday night against the U.S. Virgin Islands, hoping to see more people in an arena that was roughly two-thirds empty for the opener.
The Americans beat Venezuela 112-69 on Wednesday night before an announced crowd of 6,537. That couldn't have been the home-court advantage USA Basketball was hoping for when it won the right to bring the regional Olympic qualifier to the States.
"I think as the scene picks up a little bit, maybe the crowds will start picking up a little bit, too," Bryant said.
The quiet atmosphere may have contributed to the slow start for the Americans, who didn't pull away until the second quarter.
Venezuela was originally slated to be the home team as the host country. But when the Venezuelans missed their payment deadline, FIBA Americas reopened the bidding. The United States, by then having been forced to qualify for the Olympics after not winning the world championships, decided to bid and beat San Juan, Puerto Rico, by committing to pay FIBA Americas more than $3 million.
"I almost forgot we were in the United States for a minute, we're so used to playing overseas in these kinds of tournaments," Anthony said.
"I thought it was going to be more packed," Carmelo Anthony said. "I thought it was going to be a sellout crowd, but I'm pretty sure they'll get that throughout the tournament."
And yet, it still felt a bit like a road game.
baseball trvouts
Las Vegas has a large basketball fan base, but maybe it's already seen enough this year. The city hosted the NBAs All-Star game in February, Greg Oden and Kevin Durant made their first pro appearances here in summer league, and the U.S. team closed its minicamp last month at Thomas & Mack by drawing 15,132 fans for a scrimmage.
**Who:** The Kansas baseball team is holding open tryouts this fall.
What: An informational meeting
**When:** 4 p.m. Thursday
Where: West Conference Room in Anderson Strength Center
**How:** Those who attend the meeting should bring proof of medical insurance and a physical completed within the past six months. Those interested in trying out should also pick up and complete a packet of forms from 220 Allen Fieldhouse before the meeting.

FANTASY FOOTBALL

Prioritize this draft season
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
R KELLY BRECKONITCH
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM
I week, I was hooked on watching the world cup stacking championships. Just recently ESPN aired its fantasy league draft special. The poor performance by one of my favorite ESPN personalities, Michael Smith, inspired me to create a list of fantasy draft guidelines to help set up your fantasy team for success.
lines to help put together a successful fantasy team:
START COLLECTING RUNNING BACKS
Take a running back with one of your top three picks. Smith didn't, and his team certainly will pay the price. Running backs are the workhorses of fantasy football. They will earn most of your fantasy points in any given week. Most leagues allow only one starting quarterback, which allows more flexibility in drafting that position.
The National Football League season begins in 13 days. It's crunch time for fantasy owners who have less than two weeks to complete their drafts. Here are some guide-
Bears to a Super Bowl, then you can wait to draft a quarterback in your league and take a talented running back first.
NO DEFENSE, NO KICKERS
Usually, though, two running backs start on a fantasy team. According to Yahoo.com, the difference of points scored between the No. 1 and No. 25 running backs was 273 points, while the difference of points between quarterbacks ranked in the same positions was only 186 points. More parity exists among quarterbacks in the NFL. If Rex Grossman can lead the Chicago
Do not draft defenses or kickers too high. According to Yahoo. com, the top two defenses last year
con, the top two defenses last year — Baltimore and Chicago — both scored more than 200 fantasy points, but the points fell dramatically after those two teams. The difference in points scored by the third ranked and last ranked defenses was only 110 points.
The top ranked kicker, Robbie Gould, scored 155 fantasy points last year, only four more points than sack-prone David Carr. The difference between the top kicker and 25th ranked kicker last year was only 59 points, although most kickers scored in the mid-to-low hundreds in fantasy points.
The top kickers tend to change all too often in fantasy football. Neil Rackers, David Akers, Adam Vinatieri and all the other top kickers won't end up scoring many more points than the second-tier guys such as John Kasay, Olindo Mare and Rian Lindell. Do not reach for kickers or defenses in the early rounds or it will come back to haunt you. Wait until at least the tenth round to start drafting these players.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Established players like *Dallas Clark*, left, and Joseph Addai of the Indianapolis Colts
make safe picks over flashy rookies for fantasy teams.
ROOKIES RARELY MAKE AN IMPACT
Do not draft rookies to fill starting positions. Rookies in the NFL rarely make an immediate fantasy impact. Yes, Marques Colston, Vince Young and Reggie Bush all had terrific seasons last year, but none of them finished higher than 31st in the fantasy rankings.
There are exceptions every day,
yes, but you should not overreach
when drafting rookies. Always draft an experienced veteran over a rookie when you have the choice.
Now, I am a big fan of Calvin Johnson's potential and Marshawn Lynch could be a big threat in Buffalo, but you could take solid veterans like Darrell Jackson, Terry Glenn or Randy Moss before Johnson, and running backs like
Brandon Jacobs, Travis Henry or Willis McGahee before Lynch.
These rules should give a general direction to follow in your draft and help you put together a solid team. At least, they will help you put together a better team than Michael Smith.

CROSS COUNTRY
Past success benefits Redwine's ability Expectations run high for team, coach
BY TYLER PASSMORE
tpassmore@kansan.com
Stanley Redwine is going into his eighth season as men's cross country coach, and he has high expectations for runners and titles this year. In 2006, Redwine and his staff helped the men's team finish stronger in the Big 12 and NCAA than it had in ten years.
DONALD CAMERON
Redwine
"KU has always had a great tradition," Redwine said. "My job is to keep making things happen, so that it continues."
While becoming a dominant coach, it was his own running ability that gave him an edge on his counterparts. Redwine was an All-American at Arkansas and broke school records in the 400-meter, 600-yard and 800-meter runs.
With success in college, Redwine continued to run professionally before hanging up the spikes and getting a desk; the same desk that looks at student athletes who are going where Redwine has been.
"Being a runner myself, it allows me to understand them more." Redwine said. "As far as training goes, it lets you understand them and understand how to make them better."
Being able to understand your athletes is vital, but acquiring these athletes is even more so. Redwine recruits globally instead of staying inside of the United States. These trips and strenuous hours have only helped fuel the fire to continue.
"We're not limited to just the best athletes in the United States, we recruit the best athletes in the world." Redwine said.
This year, Redwine looks to continue and build on his success.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL Missouri starters sit out last scrimmage of season
CQLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri coach Gary Pinkel gave most of his starters the day off Thursday, in the Tigers' final scrimmage before their season opener Sept. 1 In St. Louis against Illinois.

"Obviously, we're going up a great offense so our defense is proud every time we can stuff them," said linebacker Van Alexander. "We think we have the potential to be one of the top defensive units in the Big 12, so we'd like to fulfill that potential."
The defense, which gave up 10 touchdowns in the Tigers' second scrimmage on Saturday, yielded none on Thursday.

Alexander, one of the Tigers' starters, played about 20 snaps after missing some time during camp because of a hamstring injury.

After the Oregon Invitational, Kansas will stay on the road next weekend and head to East Lansing, Mich., for the Spartan Invitational. Kansas finished its nonconference portion of the schedule on Sept. 7 with the start of the Jayhawk Invitational. By that time Kansas may be ready for a break, but right now, the team is ready to hit the court.
"We're twenty practices in, or about there, and you get to that point where kids are still enthused and excited, but they're ready for a new challenge," Bechard said.

time in different packages. Having two high-caliber athletes at strong safety could ensure the team always has a fresh player on the field.
"It's good to have depth in the defensive backfield because you never know when a player is going to go down," Resby said. "That way a good player can step into a role and already know the plays."
One cornerback position is as secure as secure can be. Talib, a junior who is on preseason watch lists for the Bronco Nagurski and Walter Camp Player of the Year awards, missed two games last season but still managed six interceptions. Coach Mark Mangino said Talib could be better than he was in 2006.
FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"Aqib is a big corner, but he still has quick feet and the hips to change direction really well," Mangino said. "He's a lot stronger than he was a year ago and he's just as quick."
On the other side of the field, things are less settled. Junior college transfer Kendrick Harper emerged from the spring as the starter but suffered an undisclosed injury on the first day of fall practices. Mangino said Harper could be back in time for the Big 12 Conference opener at Kansas State.
"At first I was just trying to get into the top three on the depth chart," Harris said. "But when Kendrick went down I knew I had to play to start. I never thought I'd be in this situation, but I'm blessed to have the opportunity."
Chris Harris, a Bixby, Okla,
freshman has stepped into Harper's
shoes as the starting cornerback.
Mangino said Harris was confident
and did not appear overwhelmed in
early practices.
Sophomore Anthony Webb and junior Gary Green should fill the roles of nickel and dime cornerbacks, respectively. Webb showed promise
as a true freshman last season and Mangino said he had improved in the offseason.
Sophomore Justin Thornton, who played in all 12 games last season, is the top reserve at free safety. Thornton is lean at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds. He struggled in coverage at times last season.
FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
" At the Fan Appreciation Day scrimmage held on Wednesday, the offensive line looked a bit different than it had throughout the preseason. Senior Rameses Arceo took over for junior Adrian Mayes at left guard, leaving junior Chet Hartley at right guard.
Also, freshman Ian Wolfe practiced with the first team at right tackle and senior Cesar Rodriguez played with the second team. Juniors Anthony Collins and Ryan Cantrell stayed at their previous positions, left tackle and center, respectively. The changes may not be permanent. Mangino and his staff have just more than a week left to decide on a lineup.
>>> Just as fans were entering the stadium, junior defensive end Richard Alspaugh was leaving the field because of an injury. Trainers helped Alspaugh onto a golf cart and took him off the field. Alspaugh was a redshirt in 2006.
Junior cornerback Aqib Talib put on a yellow jersey and lined up with the offense for a few plays late in the 11-on-11 action. Talib played primarily in the slot receiver position. Last season the All-Big 12 First Team nominee caught one pass, which was a touchdown, and played offense on a few occasions.
》 Coach Mark Mangino addressed the fans, thanking them for their support. He said 38,000 season tickets had been sold for this
season. Last year Kansas sold nearly 30,000 season tickets, according to KUathletics.com.

Questions still loom over winless Chiefs
18
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With one preseason game to go, Drew Brees was already showing off his Pro Bowl form.
The same cannot be said of the Kansas City Chiefs, whose murky quarterback picture was only muddied further Thursday night as Brodie Crouch struggled and a nearly perfect Brees led the New Orleans Saints to a dominating 30-7 victory.
Playing in all but one series in the first half, Brees hit 17 of 19 passes against the first-team defense for 182 yards and one touchdown. His quarterback rating when he retired for the night was 124.1 — a sharp contrast to the 153 of Croyle.
ABOVE, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Brodie Croyle, right, was sacked by New Orleans Saints linebacker Brian Simmons during a pressure football game Thursday in Kansas City. Croyle did not look impressive going only 5-for-17 in the losing performance.
The second-year pro, battling veteran Damon Huard for the starting job, was only 5-for-17 for 45 yards. Hurried by a New Orleans defense that frequently beat the Chiefs' offensive line, Croyle was also sacked twice and threw his third interception in three outings. This game was viewed as a golden opportunity for him to wrest the job away from Huard, who was held out with a sore calf.
RIGHT, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Kris Wilsondow was tackled by New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Fuita (55) during the first quarter of game Thursday in Kansas City.
But instead of seizing his chance, Croyle seemed to help make the case for Huard, a 34-year-old career backup.
In three preseason games, the Chiefs (0-3) have scored only 29 points. The defense has scored eight.
Pierre Thomas, a free agent rookie out of Illinois who came into the game deep on the depth chart, scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns for the Saints on runs against the Chiefs' reserves and could have made a good case for himself to win a job.
In both of their first two possessions the Saints drove nearly to the line, but were stopped.
Reggie Bush rushed for 51 yards on six carries, including a 12-yard
scamper on the second possession that was capped by the first of Olindo Mare's three field goals, 28-varder.
Brees led the Saints on a six-play, 45-vard drive late in the half capped
by Patten's 4-yard touchdown catch when he got wide open in the back of the end zone.
Marcus O'Keith scored the Chiefs' touchdown on a 2-yard run with 1:53 left.
BIG 12
New players might jeopardize Baylor bowl spot
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
On the surface, it looks like the Baylor football program is improving.
The Bears won three Big 12 conference games last year for the first time and were only one victory away from bowl eligibility two years ago.
All that progress may be washed away in 2007.
OFFENSE
The Bears will employ their version of the spread offense for the second year. Usually, teams progress with a new offense in the second year as players become more familiar with the system. Baylor, however, returns only four offensive starters from last year, and the learning curve should be just as large. No fewer than five candidates have been considered for Baylor's quarterback vacancy. Kent State senior transfer Michael Machen went into camp at the top of the depth chart but failed to impress coach Guy Moriss. The competition is now between sophomore Blake Szymanski and redshirt freshman Tyler Beatty. Szymanski started three games last year with less than stellar results. But his experience still gives him a slight edge to be the starter when the Bears play their first game. If the offense plans to be the least bit dangerous, senior

running back Brandon Whitaker must return to the form he showed in his sophomore season. Whitaker struggled mastering the spread offense last year and was demoted from his starting job. Baylor loses its two leading receivers but hopes that junior Thomas White will transform from a simple deep threat to a well-rounded No. 1 receiver. The offensive line is another area of concern as Baylor's was the Big 12's worst last year.
DEFENSE
In the Bear's 4-2-5 defensive scheme, the linebackers must be ferocious. And Baylor's are. Sophomore Joe Pawleek led the team in tackles last year and was selected to the freshman All-American team. Senior Nick Moore is a former Georgia Tech transfer and has ability to slow down an opponent's rush. The defensive line must do a better job penetrating the opponent's offensive line to clear the way for Moore and Pawleek to make plays. Baylor was ranked 113th in Division I football last year against the run. The hope is that junior defensive tackle Vincent Rhodes can turn into a premier lineman. Rhodes began showing promise at the end of last year and started the Bear's final two games. The secondary may be the biggest of all the Bear's concerns. Seniors Josh Bell and Alton Widemon will start at cornerback, but neither showed true play-making ability in their first three seasons. Senior Brandon Stiggers and junior Daina Crawford make an adequate pair of safeties.
SEASON OUTLOOK
With holes at nearly every position, it is hard to see Baylor anywhere near bowl eligibility this season. The Bears hope an easy nonconference schedule will provide this inexperienced team with the confidence to pull off a few upets in the big 12. Baylor's only real test in the nonconference is its opening game at TCU. The bears then play Rice, Texas State and Buffalo, all games they will be expected to win. The best opportunity for a Big 12 victory falls on Oct. 6 when Colorado travels to Waco, Texas. Baylor is 2-37 all-time in Big 12 road games and plays at Texas A&M, Kansas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in 2007. This is clearly a rebuilding year for the Bears.

Cardinals want home run trot from Puiols every time
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols showed St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa he could play under control in 2003, avoiding cutting loose with throws from left field to prevent blowing out his elbow.
So La Russa has no doubt that Pujols, who felt one side go numb from a high hamstung injury on Wednesday night, can be just as careful now. The Cardinals' star was in the lineup and batting third on Thursday against the Florida Marlins with orders to take it easy on the basepaths.
"I don't want to change the way I play the game," Pujols said. "Obviously, I know I have an injury that I need to be careful with."
La Russa wanted to remove Pujols Wednesday, but Pujols twice talked him out of it.
"He's been running under control for a long time," La Russa said. "Today will be an exaggerated example of that, I'm guessing."

Coalition pressures restaurant
Lawrence residents, including KU students, joined together Saturday for the "March for Fair Food," an event put on by three local organizations. Protesters carried signs and chanted their demands for fair wages for the Coalition of Immokalee Workers in Florida. The march traveled through Lawrence and stopped at each of the three Burger King restaurants.
The CIW has requested Burger King raise its members' wages by one cent per pound of tomatoes. A national Burger King spokesman said the company had no direct influence on the workers' wages.

Stores see increase in theft
Bookstores find ways to decrease robberies
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
With students buying textbooks for new classes during the first two weeks of the semester, business at bookstores is at its highest. But the extra business means something besides profit: theft.
The University Book Shop reported two robberies in the past 10 days. At Beat the Bookstore, someone tried to steal books and sell them back to the store, manager Denise Keating said. KU Bookstores has dealt with known thieves, assistant director Steve Rhodes said.
"It's not necessarily isolated to particular times of the year," said Bradley Heim, UBS manager. "But since it's a time when we're really busy, it might be the biggest time for them to do something."
Rhodes said that, although the possibility for crime increased at this time of the semester, theft was low compared to other retail services. Jayhawk Bookstore takes precautions by making customers take off their backpacks at the front of the store. KU Bookstores plan to install more cameras, and they sometimes station Navy ROTC guards at the door.
Heim and Rhodes both said bookstores needed to deal with more suspicious customers and opportunities for stealing at the beginning of the semester, and they had to find ways to protect against them. Rhodes said money lost didn't just affect the stores' bottom line. It can also hurt students by causing bookstores to raise prices or, in the case of KU Bookstores, support fewer student activities.

"Everything we do benefits students," said Steve Rhodes, assistant director of KU Bookstores. "With theft, we can't support student organizations on campus."
Rhodes and Heim said they want their staff to approach all customers, especially ones who look suspicious. Beat the Bookstore can do this
Rhodes said theft had also decreased greatly at KU Bookstores since the stores started placing security tags on books that set off an alarm system. But thieves can correct that problem by tearing off the security tag. The best way to deter theft, Rhodes and Heim said, is customer service.
Heim described what he said was one of the most common methods of textbook theft: A person takes a book off the shelf, rips off the security tag and walks out without the alarm going off. That thief then hands the book to an accomplice who sells the book back to the store.
The people who steal from bookstores are usually professional criminals, Rhodes said. He said some traveled from school to school ripping off bookstores.

'Barack Chalk Jayhawks'
A new Facebook group, the "Barack Chalk Jayhawks," is working to help students become more involved in the 2008 presidential election. The Barack Chalk Jayhawks gathered at the Westin Crown Center Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., last Monday to greet Sen. Barack Obama (D-III). Through the Facebook group, members urge fellow students to support the Democractic presidential candidate and plan to update them on any Obama events on campus. A trip to the Iowa caucus and a possible benefit concert are in the works for the group this fall.

Salon promotes cancer awareness
A hair salon on campus is offering students a colorful way to help spread breast cancer awareness.
Salon Hawk, located in the Kansas Union, is selling pink hair extensions and donating all proceeds from the extensions to a breast cancer awareness fund. Salon owner Emily Harris said the $10 Fusion hair extensions were just like the ones that movie stars wore.
The salon is also donating $3 from every color dye purchase to a different, general cancer fund.
Harris said she thought more students should be involved in charitable organizations, especially organizations that benefit cancer awareness, patients and research. She said that working for such a cause can change a person's life.
The pink extensions are available at the salon until the end of October, which is breast cancer awareness month.

Experimental Balloon Society
BY STEVEN KARLIN
A trip into space is impossible for the average person. But Stephen Mance, Prairie Village senior, wants to change this.
Mance is president of the Experimental Balloon Society. The Society has about 20 members and meets once a week for 30 minutes to an hour to build and test amateur balloon satellites. A couple of times a semester, they meet on Saturday mornings at Shenk Sports Complex
A typical balloon is made of latex and carries a camera, GPS system, radio tracking system and instruments to measure temperature and pressure. The radio tracking system is essential because the average height obtained by a balloon is 100,000 feet, Mance said. The system is linked to a laptop computer so the group can follow the balloon and retrieve it once it lands.
to launch the balloons.
Last semester, the society managed to take successful still shots
from the air. The video surveillance was not as successful, but Mance did manage to piece together a full panorama of the horizon from the frames of the video. He hopes the kinks will be worked out by the next launch.
This semester, the group's goal is to create a radio tracking system for rockets. The rocket would be launched at the apex of the balloon's ascent. Mance said the society hoped to break the international space barrier at 100,000 kilometers. If successful, the rocket would be the first amateur rocket to have done so, he said.
The Experimental Balloon Society is a research organization that used to be called the High Altitude Balloon Society and consisted only of graduate students. Recently the society became available to everyone.

SMYRNA, Tenn. — A man who authorities say used his computer to make fake $100 bills to buy lap dances has pleaded guilty to counterfeiting charges, federal prosecutors said.
ODD NEWS Man pays for lap dance with counterfeit $100 bills
Edited by Matt Erickson
Strippers at Deja Vu in Nashville were suspicious of the bills and called police after Damon Armagost spent $600 of the fake money April 16, authorities said.
When officers arrived, Armagost first told them he got the money when he sold gold coins to someone for $1,400.
U. S. Secret Service agents later determined that counterfeit bills with the same serial number had been passed in other parts of the country. When they went to Armagost's home, about 20 miles southeast of Nashville, a family member told agents that an image of a $100 bill had been on a computer there.
Armagost then acknowledged that he had downloaded the image and printed 14 of the bills, prosecutors said. He pleaded guilty Friday to manufacturing and passing counterfeit currency.
Siblings cause terror scare by sprinkling powder in lot
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Two people who sprinkled flour in a parking lot to mark a trail for their offbeat running club inadvertently caused a bioterrorism scare and now face a felony charge.
The sprinkled powder forced hundreds to evacuate an IKEA furniture store Thursday.
New Haven ophthalmologist Daniel Salchow, 36, and his sister, Dorothee, 31, were both charged with first-degree breach of peace, a felony.
The siblings set off the scare while organizing a run for a local chapter of the Hash House Harriers, a worldwide group that bills itself as a "drinking club with a running problem."
"Hares" are given the task of marking a trail for runners, throwing in some dead ends and forks as challenges. On Thursday, the Salchows decided to route runners through the massive IKEA parking lot.
Police fielded a call just before 5 p.m. that someone was sprinkling powder on the ground. The store was evacuated and remained closed the rest of the night.
Daniel Salchow biked back to IKEA when he heard there was a problem and told officers the powder was just harmless flour, which he said he and his sister have sprinkled everywhere from New York to California without incident.
"Not in my wildest dreams did I ever anticipate anything like that," he said.
Mayoral spokeswoman Jessica Mayorga said the city plans to seek restitution from the Salchows.
"You see powder connected by arrows and chalk, you never know," she said.

ODD NEWS 'Snakes on a plane' becomes reality for pilot
BROOKHAVEN, Miss. — It was no movie moment when a physician, flying himself across Mississippi, discovered a stowaway — a gray rat snake.
Dr. Ed Carruth discovered the snake-on-a-plane when it began "licking" his arm Thursday, he told The Daily Leader of Brookhaven.
"I've been flying planes for 50 years and over 14,000 hours, and this is the most unusual inflight emergency I've encountered," he said.
Needing to fly the plane and lacking tools to get rid of the snake, "I did some aerobatics," Carruth said. "And once he got oriented, he went to the back of the plane."
When Carruth arrived at Brookhaven Municipal Airport, officials called a snake expert to remove the reptile.
Fresh set of clothes leads to drug arrest
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Police sent to arrest a man spotted a bag of marijuana in his dresser drawer, according to the criminal complaint against him.
The 27-year-old man was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia for a smoking device found in his bedroom, the complaint said.
Officers said the man greeted them at the door and asked if he could put on his pants before being taken away. The officers spotted the marijuana when he opened the drawer to get clothes.

As presidential candidate Barack Obama looked out at the crowd, he noticed a group of excited college students.

NEW YORK Armed with a soldering iron and a large supply of energy drinks, a slight, curly haired teenager has developed a way to make the iPhone, arguably the gadget of the year, available to a much wider audience.
George Hotz of Glen Rock, N.J., spent his last summer before college figuring out how to "unlock" the iPhone, freeing it from being restricted to a single carrier, AT&T Inc.
The procedure, which the 17-year-old posted on his blog Thursday, raises the possibility of a cottage industry springing up to buy iPhones, unlocking them and then selling them to people who don't want AT&T service or can't get it.
The phone, which combines an innovative touch-screen interface with media-playing abilities, is currently sold only in the U.S.
An AP reporter was able to verify that an iPhone Hotz brought to the AP's headquarters on Friday was unlocked. Hotz placed the reporter's T-Mobile SIM card, a small chip that identifies a phone to the network, in the iPhone. It then connected to T-Mobile's network and placed calls using the reporter's account.
T-Mobile is the only major U.S. carrier apart from AT&T that is compatible with the iPhone's technology, but smaller carriers also use the technology, known as GSM. In Europe and Asia, GSM is the dominant network technology
The hack is complicated and requires skill with both soldering and software, and misssteps may result in the iPhone becoming useless, so few people will be able to follow the instructions.
"But that's the simplest I could make them." Hotz said.
George Hotz, 17, holds an iPhone, which is liscensed exclusively to AT&T, that he has unlocked and is using on T-Mobile's network
Technology blog Engadget on Friday reported successfully unlocking an iPhone using a different method that required no tinkering with the hardware. An anonymous groups supplied the software.
AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel and Apple spokeswoman Jennifer Bowcock said their companies had no comment on Hotz' exploit. Hotz said the companies had not been in touch with him.
Apple shares rose $4.23 to close at $135.30 on Friday. AT&T shares gained 26 cents to close at $40.36.
The iPhone has already been made to work on overseas networks using another method, which involves copying information from the SIM chip, or Subscriber Identity Module.
The SIM-chip method does not involve any soldering, but instead requires special equipment, and it doesn't unlock the phone — each new SIM chip has to be reprogrammed for use on a particular iPhone.

Arabic school faces struggles in opening year
EDUCATION
BY DEEPTI HAJELA ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) — One of the city's newest public schools is named for poet who promoted peace and published his most famous work while living in New York, but there has been little peace for the Khalil Gibran International Academy.
With a little more than a week remaining until the academic year starts, the school — announced in February as the city's first to offer instruction in Arabic and on Arab culture — already has had to move once and has its second principal, both because of protests.
Critics have attacked the school, named for a Lebanese Christian, as a potential radical Islam training ground.
Supporters have been taken aback by the controversy.
"In fact it is a regular public
school, the only difference is they're going to use Arabic as a medium," said Shaim Ali, imam at the Islamic Cultural Center in Manhattan, who served on an interfaith advisory council for the school. "It is also-

are themed, covering areas from the arts to social justice to Chinese language.
The school was originally going to take space in an elementary school in Brooklyn. Parents at the
"It absolutely is not a religious school and no one has any intention of teaching religion."
Khalil Gibran is starting with sixth-graders and will expand with one additional class every year to end up with 500 to 600 students in grades 6-12. It joins a number of small public schools in the city that

school objected for a number of reasons, including whether there would be enough space and whether the ideological controversy would create a security risk.
T h e Department of Education gave
in and moved the school to a building elsewhere in Brooklyn that houses a high school and middle school.
Khalil Gibran's original principal,
Debbie Almontaser, left ear
lier this month after criticism for her failure to condemn the use of the highly charged word "intifada" on T-shirts. She was replaced by acting interim principal Danielle Salzberg, a Jewish woman who does not speak Arabic.
That uproar started when an article connected Almontaser to Arab Women Active in Art and Media, a group that produced shirts imprinted with the words "Intifada NYC." The group used office space shared by an organization that counts Almontaser among its board members.
The word "intifada" has come to represent the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians.
Almontaser did not respond to an e-mail request for comment. The Department of Education declined to make Salzberg or any teachers at the school available for comment, but has reiterated its support for the school. Mayor Michael Bloomberg
has added his voice to the support of Salzburg and the school.
The school's opponents include an organization called "Stop the Madrassa," or religious school, that calls the school "badly managed and inflammatory."
Members say the city has not been upfront about details of the curriculum, and the content of the textbooks, and they believe the school will have a hard time keeping Islam out of the classroom.
Salzberg has met with some of the 44 students who have enrolled so far at the school, most of them not Arabic-speakers or even Arab.
At least one parent was unfazed by the controversy. Yolanda Exis said she was just glad her 12-year-old son, Allan Aluder, could take advantage of being in a smaller school. "I think the size of the classroom is most important," she said.
Her son says: "I just want to learn the language."
MINE COLLAPSE
Miner mystery drills into sixth attempt
By CHELSEA J. CARTER Associated Press
HUNTINGTON, Utah — What next? That was the question remaining after a drill punched a sixth hole through a mine shaft and found no sign of six miners last seen before a massive collapse nearly three weeks ago.
Federal safety officials told families of the missing miners they would conduct testing - air samples, signaling in hopes of a response from the men and dropping a video camera into the mine shaft — but have been less than
hopeful about the results, which were expected to be announced Sunday.
"The only thing they told us is there is no void where the sixth hole is; there is no space," attorney Colin King said after a meeting between the missing miners' families he represents and mine officials.
Crandall Canyon Mine co-owner Bob Murray said this hole would be the last effort to find a sign of the miners, who may not have survived the massive cave-in Aug. 6.
Families pleaded with Murray not to halt rescue efforts, and King
said officials did not rule out the possibility of a seventh bore hole.
Previous holes yielded only grainy video images and poor air samples. Efforts to signal the miners were met with silence. Tunneling into the mine was abandoned after another collapse killed three rescue workers and injured six others on Aug. 16.
"At this point, we're very disappointed at the Murray Energy group of companies, which seem to have given up on these people in the mine. They've been unresponsive to our efforts to learn why a large diameter drill hole from
above could not have been done
and has not been done," King said.
Federal officials and mine company executives said the mountain's instability makes it too dangerous to drill a hole wide enough for a one-person rescue capsule unless there are signs of life.
The thunderous collapse blew out the walls of the mine shafts, filling them with rubble more than eight to 10 feet deep in some places. If the men were not crushed by rock, they could have been killed by the immense air pressure generated by the collapse, mining executives and federal regulators said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The hat manufacturing company New Era removed from store shelves Friday a lineup of team-logo baseball caps considered tailor-made for gang members, after complaints from baseball officials.
The three styles in question used colors and symbols linked to three
"It has been brought to our attention that some combinations of icons and colors on a select number of our caps could be too closely perceived to be in association with gangs," said
The New York Yankees had already joined an anti-gang group, "Peace on the Street," that denounced the hats.

Christopher H. Koch, CEO of New Era Cap Company. "In response, we, along with Major League Baseball, have pulled those caps."
"My fear was that the wrong kid was going to wear the wrong hat in the wrong neighborhood and get hurt."
"YOUR MOM WANTS YOU TO EAT AT JIMMY JOHN'S!"
Both MLB and the Yankees insisted they were unaware of the cap designs' symbolism. The Yankees organization said it was never given a chance to review the new hats until they were already for sale.
New Era said it would increase its efforts to ensure it had more awareness of gang symbols, names and locations. The Buffalo-based company has produced hats for Major League Baseball since the 1930s.
The team released a statement that said it was "completely unaware that caps with gang-related logos and colors had been manufactured with the New York Yankees logo on them" and that it "opposed any garment that may be associated with gangs or gang-related activity."
"My fear was that the wrong kid was going to wear the wrong hat in the wrong neighborhood and get hurt," Garcia said.
Richard Garcia, a karate instructor who works with "Peace on the Street" to provide youngsters with alternatives to gangs, said he immediately recognized the hats' colors because of his work with former gang members.

High-tech $100 bill uses tiny lenses to avoid fakes
By MA RTIN CRUTSINGER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — After six decades in which the venerable greenback never changed its look, the U.S. currency has undergone a slew of makeover s. The most amazing is yet to come.
A new security y thread has been approved for the $100 bill. The Associated Press has learned, and the change will ca use double-takes.
The new look, is part of an effort to thwart counterfeiters who are armed with ever-1 more sophisticated computers, scanners and color copiers. The C-note, with features the likeness of Benja min Franklin, is the most frequent target of counterfeiters operating o outside the United States.
The operation of the new security thread looks like something straight out of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This magic, however, relies on innovations produced from decades of development.

protection on the bill.
Hologramss used extensively on credit cards, were considered for the $100. They were rejected because they did not offer the strong visual signal the government wanted.
The $100 bill represents more than 70 percent of the $776 billion in currency in circulation, two-thirds of which is held overseas.
"It is a really complex optical structure on a microscopic scale. It makes for a very compelling high-security device."
DOUGLAS CRANE Vice president, Crane & Co.
Originally there were no plans to redesign the $5 bill. That decision was reversed once counterfeiters started bleaching $5 bills and printing fake $100 bills over the bleached paper; certain security features were in the same location on both bills.
"We were looking for features that had very distinctive types of actions so that we could tell the American

public, you will know that it is authentic if you do this and the note does that," Felix said.
The new security thread is used on the Swedish 1,000 kroner note and has been selected by the government of
Mexico for some higher denomination notes.
Felix said many other devices expected to be included in the $100 redesign will be similar to features added over the past four years to the $20, $50 and $10 bills. That means subtle pastel colors on the currency and patches of micro-printing that are difficult to duplicate, along with
The bleached bills represent the latest skirmish in a battle with counterfeiters.
"Counterfeiting is becoming highly organized and highly efficient," Felix said. He said some clandestine printing plants in Latin America and Eastern Europe
had been caught counterfeiting not only the U.S. currency but other countries' notes.
The government says $118.1 million in counterfeit U.S. currency was detected in 2006, an increase of 3.8 percent from 2005.
While that is a fraction of the currency in circulation, the Secret Service is concerned with the threat, especially the challenge posed by new digital technology. Digital copies account for about half of all counterfeit notes passed in the U.S., compared with less than 1 percent of all counterfeit bills detected in 1995.
"The quality of the counterfeit currency has gone down, but the ease by which people can make this currency and the access to the computer equipment has had an impact on the rising numbers." Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren said.
To stay ahead of the counterfeiters, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing plans to redesign U.S. currency every seven years to 10 years. That is a far cry from the practice for most of the 20th century — from 1929 to the 1990s — when the currency stayed the same without any major changes.

NICE AND ACCURATE PROPHECIES
Annoying advertising is worse for businesses than none at all While trying to sell their products, many companies miss the mark entirely
BENJAMIN R. SMITH
In 1903 a man named Hershey went into business for himself in a small Pennsylvania town, producing thin brick chocolate bars, aptly named Hershey bars. He unveiled his simple product to the public at a party where he handed out the foil-wrapped bars to his guests.
By the time he died in 1945, Milton S. Hershey was a household name. His chocolate bar had become America's favorite and it had risen to this height of achievement without one shred of advertising. In fact, Hershey bars went 90 years without wasting a dime on anything but their plain brown wrappers. It was not until the mid 1990's that the Hershey Company began it's "Unwrap A Smile" ad campaign—prior to that, Hershey bars had sold themselves by the
millions per annum.
Now lets talk about 1978, when a woman named Stevens went into business for herself in the town of Wichita, producing hamburgers, gyros, and sourdough treats that to this day are supposed to "just taste better."
What do Milton S. Hershey and Rene Stevens have in common?
I was born in Wichita and raised in or around its city limits until I was 18. In that time, I was probably subjected to at least a dozen Spangles advertisements a day. I'll do the math: 12 commercials times 365 days a year times 22 years equals 96,360 commercials in my lifetime—separated between radio and television (this does not take into account leap years).
Absolutely nothing!
If each commercial averaged 60 seconds in duration, that means 5,781,600 seconds (two months) of my life have been spent in annoyance of the "BOP-BOP-BOP-BOP-BOP-BOP-BOP-BOP-BOP-M
The ads are on the radio and on television, using poorly composed 50's parody music and rejects from the movie "Bratz" to sell the heart-unfriendly 1/3 pound Gourmet Supreme burger. A hamburger that has apparently—according to the Spangles Web site—been "voted the best burger year after year."
M-M-MUDSLIDE!" jingle.
The Web site neglects to say who does the voting, who runs the election and who the contenders for the title of "best burger" are, but hey, who really cares right? The commercials exploit the elderly, minors, and former Wichita State basketball coach Mark Turgeon in attempts to sell Spangles' wares to the unfortunate public, and that's what's really important.
Had I the space, I would write reams on her oddly named frozen deserts. I can't, for all my fur and whiskers, understand what is so appetizing about a natural disaster that claims thousands of lives a year in developing countries.
like Hershey bars. They never seem to impose on my life or annoy me. Spangles, on the other hand, is an establishment I won't visit on the principle that I hate their commercials for their ability to annoy me to the point of rage.
GARDENING TIPS
I don't know much about advertising, but I do know I
I give Ms. Stevens kudos for her commercials' staying power. I do know what Spangles is and where it is and how much her Gourmet Supreme hamburger costs ($2.99—a dollar less than a Double Quarter-Pounder with cheese from McDonald's). But the fact remains that knowledge of a product does not equal desire to consume.
P. S. —The coffee always tastes like it's been on the burner since Iran-Contra.
So, Ms. Stevens, a word of advice: cut the advertising a bit and work on quality. If your product is good then it will sell itself. Take a lesson from Mr. Hershey.

Bigotry comes in many shapes
Assuming prejudice of others without evidence is narrow-minded itself
JOHN CHEYENNE
BRANDON T. MINSTER
The state of Kansas has a tourism slogan: "Kansas: As Big As You Think." I don't know how their PR firm convinced them to play up the biggest complaint most Americans have against the state ("It takes so long to drive across Kansas!"), but somehow the tourism board has sunk millions of dollars into convincing you that it does, indeed, take forever to drive across Kansas.
Now, how much does the average person care about his state's tourism slogan? It's designed for outside consumption. Kansas could be placing ads in East Coast weekly magazines that say, "Ever wanted to see a hillbilly? Have we got a treat for you!" and no one around here would know. Unless you try to recoup some of your confiscated taxes by ordering a tourism brochure, when would you really see the slogan?
But here is something you do see a lot when you're in Kansas: bumper stickers that have changed the state tourism slogan into a condemnation of the unenlightened views of the common Kansan with, "Kansas: As Bigoted As You Think."
From where I stand, it seems to be saying this: "You have a concept in your head of how bigoted the people of Kansas are. Well, you're one hundred percent right, brother! These people are downright intolerant! If you're not a Kansan, give silent thanks to Mother Earth; if you are a Kansan, hang your head in shame and get one of these bumper stickers."
An interesting argument, considering the definition of the word "bigot." As purloined from
a dictionary Web site, the definition is:
"bigot n : a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own."
And what of that word "prejudiced?" Prejudice is "an adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts."or, "a preconceived preference or idea."
This bumper sticker, which might initially appear to be a condemnation of bigotry, in the end does not work without the reader's innate bigotry. An unbigoted person would read the sticker and think, "Well, I've never really thought of Kansas as bigoted in the first place." The reader must have a "preconceived judgment" of Kansas for the bumper sticker to validate it. What it really says is this: "You've got bigoted notions about how bigoted Kansans are. For some reason, your bigotry is to be condoned while their bigotry is to be condemned. Down with (certain forms of) bigotry!"
Why not get a bumper sticker that says what they really mean? "Kansas: I Don't Agree With Their Electoral Majority." What would be wrong with that? What it lacks in pith it makes up for refreshing honesty.
The problem is that a sticker like that would only point out the two sides of the debate, without saying which side is "right." Where's the righteous indignation in saying, "There's a disagreement here and either side might be correct"? It's far more satisfying to condemn someone for one of modern America's deadly sins, like "intolerance." What these car-drivers want is to paint one side as ignorantly opinionated. To that end, they are quite successful, but not quite how they intended.

COMMUNITY
FAR FOOD
Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN
Protesters, including one dressed as an angry Burger King massot, participate in the March for Fair Food on Saturday. Lawrence residents, including KU students, marched to show support for the Coalition of Immokalae Workers in Florida, whose memembers recently demanded higher wages from Burger King, the company that pays them. The marchers brought a letter with the workers' demands to the manager of each Burger King in Lawrence.
Florida workers want it their way
BY SASHA ROE
sroe@kansan.com
They marched through Lawrence with tomato signs that said, "Justice," and signs that resembled the Burger King trademark but said "Exploitation King." One protestor even dressed as the Burger King himself, except his costume's face showed an angry smile. Lawrence Fair Food, Kansas Mutual Aid, and the lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice organized Saturday's event, the March for Fair Food, to benefit the Coalition of Immokalee Workers in Florida.
Rachel Raya, Hutchinson sophomore, said she participated in the march as community outreach for her sorority Sigma Lambda Gamma, the largest Latina-based sorority in the U.S.
The march started at 9:30 a.m. at the Burger King located at 1100 N. Third St. Spectators honked and held up peace signs to show support for the group as it marched to the Burger Kings on Sixth Street and 23rd Street. The group delivered a letter that explained the reason for the protest, to the manager of each restaurant. The letter demanded that Burger King increase the wages of workers by one cent per pound of tomatoes.
"It's important to us because of the significance to our culture," Raya said. "We've done similar things for community awareness and really enjoyed them."
The marchers chanted, "What do we want? Fair Food! When do we want it? Now!" the group consisted of a combination of students and Lawrence community members. Each protestor had his or her own reason for why the march was significant.
To other protestors, the march was about showing support for the farm workers in Florida.
"We're expected to be mindless consultants," Cori Fischer-Hoffman, Philadelphia graduate student, said. "We should ask, 'Where does this food come from?'
Gerardo Reyes, a member of the CIW, accompanied the group on the march. Reyes' family still lived in Mexico, but he said his co-workerr and friends in Florida supported him on his trip from Florida to Kansas. With the help of a translator, Reyes said he wanted fair wages for the workers. He said the wages had been frozen at the same rate since 1978. He also said the workers had no benefits, contract or protection.
"Justice must be an ingredient for a company that profits off of the misery of its workers," Reyes said.
As reported in Friday's The University Daily Kansan, Keva Silversmith, Burger King's vice president of corporation communication, said the restaurants had negotiated with the CIW for the past few years. Silversmith said that the coalition had requested Burger King write a check to the organization, but that the company had declined.
A manager who worked at all three Lawrence Burger Kings would not give his name, or comment on the march. When protestors handed him the letter, he thanked them and requested that they didn't come into the restaurants.
The group then requested assistance from the Lawrence Police Department. Police officers rode bicycles and walked alongside the group, and drove to the Burger King locations. Sgt. Michael Monroe said the police had to respect both the marchers and the restaurants. He
said the march had been peaceful at the Sixth Street location.
"They made the agreement to stay on the city sidewalks while they march," Monroe said. "When they deliver the letter we think its safer to do it outside the restaurant."
The march ended at the 23rd Street Burger King, where protestors sat on the restaurant's lawn and ate free hamburgers and veggie burgers provided by the Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
Reverend Thad Holcombe of Ecumenical Christian Ministries, said that he was pleased with the turnout and with the work done to bring about cooperation between Burger King and farm workers.
"It is important for one group not to be in a position of power over another." Holcombe said. "We must sit at the same table."

COMMENTARY
BIG 12 SEASON PREVIEW
KU soccer The other football team
PHILADELPHIA
BY SHAWN SHROYER
KANSAN COLUMNIST
SSHROYER@KANSAN.COM
They don't have billboards, television commercials or radio commercials proclaiming, "This is what Fridays and Sundays were made for." The hack job taking place on the Hill isn't for their benefit. Most of their preseason accolades and position battles have gone unnoticed.
The soccer team is three years removed from its last Big 12 Championship and NCAA tournament appearance. But this year's squad has the makings of becoming the best in Kansas history.
No, not that football. I'm talking David Beckham, "Fever Pitch," red card football — I'm talking Kansas soccer.
Still, there is one football team that Kansas fans should be pumped about.
"There's no doubt that this is a more talented team than that group," coach Mark Francis said, comparing this year's roster to the one that won the Big 12 Championship in 2004. "That group over-achieved. This year, if we achieve what we are capable of, we'll do very well. To win a championship, it takes a lot more than talent. There are a lot of intangibles there that we're actually seeing signs of with this group."
Maybe it's Francis' British accent, but when he talks about how good this year's team can be, it's convincing. However, what he won't reveal
— in public, anyway — is that the league coaches committed an injustice when they picked Kansas to finish fifth in the Big 12. So I will.
Apparently, Big 12 coaches don't watch their game film from when they play — and usually lose to — Kansas. This is the third straight year they've tabbed Kansas to finish no better than fourth in the conference. Yet, 2002 was the last time the Jayhawks finished worse than fourth in the Big 12. And certainly they haven't noticed Francis stocking up on top-notch recruiting classes the last four years.
Included in this year's freshman class is Emily Cressy, who won her second U.S. Youth Soccer national championship this summer, playing alongside Dolinsky. Cressy earned the Adidas Golden Boot award as the most outstanding offensive player of the tournament.
Last year, five current Jayhawks earned Big 12 honors. Junior Jessica Bush was named to the All-Central Region third team while sophomores Monica Dolinsky and Estelle Johnson were selected to the Central Region's All-Freshman team. This year's recruiting class has already been recognized as the third-best recruiting class in the Big 12, the fifth-best in the Central Region and 36th-best in the nation.
so much talent has given Francis headaches trying to settle on a starting lineup before the season opener Friday. To Francis' luck, 11 starters emerged from Saturday's intrasquid scrimmage. Senior Emily Strinden and sophomore Shannon McCabe will be the starting forwards, while senior Nicole Cauzillo, junior Missy Geha, Bush and Dolinsky will fill the starting midfield spots. Senior Afton Sauer, junior Jenny Murtaugh, Johnson and freshman Katie Williams will form the starting defensive line and complement senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn.
However, this starting 11 is anything but concrete. By the time

Jayhawks take second at Oregon Invitational

Two victories and one defeat. That's how Kansas finished its season-opening weekend at the Oregon Invitational in Eugene.

Ore. After a victory over Cal-State Bakersfield on Friday, and a victory over Idaho State on Saturday, home team Oregon spoiled Kansas' bid for a perfect weekend, handling Kansas its first loss of the season 3-0 (30-20,
30-20, 30-20) Kerridge
to 2-1 on the season.
"They were real good physically," coach Ray Bechard said, referring to Oregon. "We were exposed in some areas."
Kansas had no response to the Oregon
offensive duo of junior Gorana Maricic and sophomore Sonja Newcombe, an All-Pac 10 freshman last year. Maricic and Newcombe had 12 kills each, while sophomore Nevena Djordjevic efficiently ran the offense and recorded a match-high 29 assists. Oregon posted a team hitting percentage of .370, while Kansas, hamstrung by its 27 hitting errors, was able to muster a hitting percentage of only .040.
"Maybe it was lack of experience," Bechard said. "There's always some pressure the first time out."
formances from freshman Jenna Kaiser and sophomore transfer Flavia Lino in the first two games of the tournament, Kansas' offense went silent against Oregon. Freshmen Karina Garlington, sophomore Brittany Williams, and junior Natalie Uhart led the team with six kills each, while senior Emily Brown and sophomore Katie Martincich led the team with 12 assists each.
Top performers
Coach Ray Bechard put his name into the Kansas record books when Kansas swept Idaho State in its first game on Saturday. Kansas defeated Idaho State, 3-0 (30-20, 30-21, 30-25), and Bechard registered his 149th win at Kansas, tying Frankie Albiz for

Kansas earned its second victory of the season, and continued the trend of strong performances from Kansas newcomers.

After leaving Kansas at the end of the 2004 season, he took over as Illinois' offensive line coach and pushed the Illini rushing attack to the top of the Big 10 Conference.
Sow why did Warinner leave a rising Illinois
By almost any measure, Ed Warinner succeeded in his two years at Illinois.

"The community, coaching staff and Athletic Department has embraced me," Warinner said. "It's been as smooth as can be. The family's back in town and we love it."
program to return to Kansas? He said his family's ties to Lawrence and his connection with head coach Mark Mangino made the decision easy.
Warinner coached the Kansas offensive line in 2003 and coordinated the Jayhawk run-game the following season. After spending two seasons in charge of Illinois' run-game and offensive line, he returned to Kansas this past spring as the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach.
In 2003, Kansas rushed for 165 yards per game under Warinner's watch. From 2000 to 2002, he coached the offensive line at the Air Force Academy, a school known for its effectiveness running the ball. During Warinner's tenure at the academy, the Falcons posted impressive statistics, averaging more than 300 rushing yards per game.
Warinner brings with him a long list of credentials and an emphasis on gaining yards in the trenches. Last season, he coached Illinois to its best rushing season since 1973 — the Illini averaged 188 yards per game.
Surprisingly, Warinner's return to Kansas might not involve any exaggerated reliance on the run-game. In fact, Kansas fans can expect to see the ball in the air more often than in past seasons.
"Our offense is an offense that provides the opportunity to run the ball because we throw the ball well," Mangino said. "That's going to be our philosophy."
Former offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro, who resigned last December, relied on running backs like Jon Cornish and Clark Green to shoulder the offensive load. Kansas ran its plays out of a spread

BIG 12 SEASON PREVIEW
Texas A&M prepares for return to prominence
BY CASE KEEFER
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
A trip to the Holiday Bowl and a 9-3 season would be considered a great football year at most schools. Texas A&M is not one of those schools.
Aggies fans are becoming increasingly eager to return their program to the national prominence it felt in the early 1990s. Coach Dennis Franchione is feeling the pressure more than ever. Franchione compiles a 25-23 record since taking over at Texas A&M and is only 3-14 against Top 25 opponents.
This will be an important year not only for the coach but for the program.
his 6-feet-tall,274 pound frame.
OFFENSE
The Aggies' offense should be practically unstoppable this season. In their backfield resides the Big 12 Conference's best running backs.
Sophomore Mike Goodson can race to the edges or openings with his superb quickness. Junior Jorvorskie Lane carried the ball 166 times last season and barreled over potential tacklers with relative ease because of
3 TEXAS 7
Four of the five starting offensive linemen are seniors, including preseason All-American center Cody Wallace. Junior quarterback Stephen McGee is one of the nation's most accurate passers. McGee threw only two interceptions last season while passing for more than 2,000 yards.
Texas A&M faces a tough schedule this season that challenges its roster. With several big away games, the Aggies' postseason and possible Big 12 Conference South title is unpredictable.
McGee's top two wide receivers from last season departed, which might make it tougher to match his statistics from last season. But junior tight end Martellus Bennett returns. He was the Aggies' second leading receiver in 2006.
Record: 9-4 Overall, 5-3 Big
12
DEFENSE
Texas A&M ranked third in the Big 12 against the rush last year. The Aggies could be even better stuffing opponent's running backs this year.
Senior defensive tackle Red Bryant routinely disrupts the rush and is the leader of a defense that returns six starters. Senior defensive end Chris Harrington is a skilled pass rusher and has an outside chance to earn Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors.
While not spectacular, the Aggies' linebackers are certainly formidable.
2006 recap
Bowl game: Holiday Bowl vs California, lost 45-10 Points per game: 27.8 Opponent points per game: 20.5
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Seniors Mark Dodge and Misi Tupe combined for more than 100 tackles last season. They will start in 2007. The Aggies recruited high school All-American linebacker Derrick Stephens but he was not listed on the depth chart and may be a redshirt.
Junior Danny Gorrer and sophmore Jordan Peterson are returning starters at cornerback, but the secondary should have quite a few players in constant rotation.
SEASON OUTLOOK
On paper, 2007 finally seems to be the year that the Aggies are ready to compete for a Big 12 South title. Texas A&M's roster contains all the right personnel, but the Aggies'
schedule could be the toughest in the Big 12, with road games against Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri and Texas Tech.
To win the Big 12 South, they'd likely have to win three of those games, which is simply too difficult
to expect. Without even mentioning the away game at Miami and home contests with Texas and Oklahoma State, it's clear that the Aggies have a tough road ahead.
A shot at the Big 12 title game in San Antonio is still a possibility, but
disappointment in College Station, Texas, may be more likely.

Jayhawks utilize deep bench to fill empty starting positions

The Jayhawk softball team is full of high hopes for this coming season. The team looks forward to improving their 33-24-1 record from last year. The team lost two seniors, but numerous strong players returned.
With the loss of pitcher Kassie Humphreys, the Jayhawks look to slide freshman Allie Clark, into her position. Junior Valerie George, who ended last year with a 9-4 record and a 2.11 ERA will join Clark. Sophomore Sarah Vertelta will also return to pitch this season. She
ended last year with a 5-5 record and a 2.89 ERA. Sophomore Caitlin Kennedy will push for a chance to pitch as well.
Junior catcher Elle Pottorf, who led the team last year with nine home runs and 37 RBI, will return this season. But freshman Brittany Hile, who has shown a solid arm, looks to push Pottorf for playing time behind the plate.
"We are excited about what Brittany brings to the team." coach Tracy Bunge said.
Senior Sara Sidebottom will act as the bullpen catcher while she competes for catcher.
Junior Val Chapple will return to play third base for the third year in a row.
"Val defensively stepped her game up for us last year." Bunge said.
Junior Stevie Crisosto will likely stay at shortstop after batting. 302 last year, but freshman Colby Festmier will push her for time. Sophomore Sara Ramirez will play second base. Ramirez will try to improve on her six-home run season last year. Sophomore Amanda Jobe will move from right field to first base. Senior Addy Lucero will also look to put in time at first base. Last year lobe hit .295 for the season while playing
right field and designated hitter.

Hoof Hearted's sweet revenge

Beta A1 had a rough start in the first half with Hoof Hearted scoring early led by Nathan Hickey, Lawrence sophomore quarterback. Hickey led the team on two touchdown drives.
In the second half, Beta A1 and Hoof Hearted were tied 6-6. Beta A1 picked it up with a breakaway touchdown by Tommy Grutzmacher, Platte City, Mo. sophomore.
Holding was called on Hoof Hearted but led to the team scoring again.
With one second left and game tied at 13-13, Beta A1 called a timeout. The offensive Hoft Hearted

"It's good to beat the best frat on campus, especially a team that has a lot of resources." Nye said.
"We played pretty well but they're a good team and great guys." Greg Brunin. St. Mary's senior, said.
Kitley Jewell, Lawrence senior, said Hoof Hearted lost to a Beta Theta Pi team in a similar game last year, so the victory was sweet revenge.
The competitors of Hoof Hearted have been playing together for four years. Last year the team advanced to the non-competitive league finals. This is their first year in the competitive intramural league.

Stricker claims victory at Barclays after line of losses
HARRISON, N.Y. (AP) _ What looked like more heartache for Steve Stricker turned into the sweetest victory of his career.
After going $6\frac{1}{2}$ years and 146 tournaments without winning, Stricker birdied four of his last five holes Sunday at The Barclays for a stunning turnaround that gave him a 2-under 69 and a two-shot victory over K.J. Choi.
Strecker said, his voice choking as tears streamed down the side of his face. "I never knew if I was going to win again."
"It was hard, but it was fun,"
It sure wasn't easy. Not with 10 players — five of them major champions — separated by three shots. And not with Choi holing two birdie putts that were a combined 95 feet, making it look as if he were destined to win.
Stricker, who already let four chances of winning slip away this year, refused to buckle.

U.S. championship streak reaches three
BY GENARO C. ARMAS ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dalton Carrierik of Warner Robins, Ga., rounds second base after hitting a walk-off in run in the eighting队 against Tokyo in the Little League World Series championship game. Carrierik home run gave the Little League World Series title to an American team for the third straight team.
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.
- Dalton Carriker couldn't feel his legs as he rounded the bases.
"I felt like I was flying, like Peter Pan," Carriker said. "I didn't know what I was doing."
His home run in the bottom of the eighth had just given Warner Robins, Ga., a thrilling 3-2 victory over Japan to win the Little League World Series title.
Adrenaline took over from there, said the 12-year-old slugger with braces.
His dramatic home run over the right-field wall off a 2-1 pitch from Japan's Junsho Kiuchi gave the United States three straight Little League championships.
"USA! USA!" cried the Georgia-partisan crowd and dozens of fans waved American flags. Columbus, Ga., won the crown last year, and Ewa Beach, Hawaii, in 2005.
"They're not greedy kids," relieved manager Mickey Lay said. "They just enjoy playing the game. That's something that we miss sometimes."
They sure had fun after Carriker's homer. The jubilant players from Warner Robins hugged him as he reached the plate. Lay lost his hat after joining his team in celebration following a tense game marked by excellent pitching.
Georgia reliever Kendall Scott struck out 10 and allowed one hit over five-plus innings to quiet Japan's bats after Georgia fell behind 2-0 early.
Scott, 12, had watched Japan's
"Going out there today, throwing the ball, I was scared to death on the first pitch," he said.
impressive hitters throughout the tournament.
Scott left the game in the top of the eighth, with Zane Conlon getting the last out.
That set up Carriker's gamewinning homer. The slugger, hitting .769 entering Sunday's game, was 0-for-2 with a walk when he came up in the eighth.
He said a little prayer before setting himself in the batter's box.
"God, please give me the strength to get a hit and help my team out," Carriker said in
recounting his prayer.
There was no doubt about his opposite-field shot off Kiuchi, which easily cleared the right-field fence 225 feet away from the plate.
Japan manager Youichi Kubo, who managed Japan to the 2001 Little League crown, tried to console his pitcher afterward.
"I told Junsho that when you are a reliever these things can happen," Kubo said through a translator. "I told him that he has a bright future and not to let this homer affect that."
After exchanging handshakes with players from Japan, Georgia
players took hold of the championship banner, their proud parents snapping pictures from the stands.
Warner Robins kept the trophy in the state.
The previous two Georgia teams to advance to South Williamsport also won the title, including Columbus last year and East Marietta in 1983.
Also, the United States' three year title streak is the longest since 1959-1966, an eight-year stretch of American victories.
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
"I'll remember every second of this," Carriker said. "This has been crazy."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 2007
VOLLEYBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Freshman Jenna Kaiser added 12 kills for the Jayhawks in her second collegiate game, while junior Natalie Uhart had 10 kills in only 16 attempts. Uhart, who transferred from Long Beach State a season ago, was playing in her first game as a Jayhawk after suffering a season-ending knee injury in the 2006 preseason.
"It great to have her out there," Bechard said. "She tweaked her ankle, and that slowed her a little, but she adds so much experience to the team."
Senior Emily Brown was the main playmaker, racking up 25 assists against Idaho State.
CAL-STATE BAKERSFIELD
Kansas opened its season with a strong result, beating Cal-State Bakersfield 3-1 (30-23, 20-27, 25-30, 31-29) in the opening game of the
Oregon Invitational on Friday.
Kaiser and Lino, both outside hitters, led the offense with 14 and 13 kills respectively, while Uhart, playing in her first competitive college game since 2005, had seven kills, four service aces, and two blocks.
"We had good match-ups for our outside hitters, and they did a good job when we went to them."
Coach Bechard said he was also pleased with the play of freshman
Kansas travels to East Lansing Mich,to take part in the Spartan Invitational. Two 2006 NCAA tournament teams, Michigan State and Missouri State, are in the field along with Florida State.
Up next
Melissa Manda, who had 22 digs in her Kansas debut. Lino, Kaiser, Uhart, Manda, and freshman Karina Garlington all played their first game as Jayhawks.
Milestone tied
Kansas takes to the pitch on Sept. 6 for its home opener, its starting lineup could be completely turned over. Players like Cressy and juniors Sara Rogers and Kristin Graves are all waiting in the wings to snatch up starting spots.
Coach Ray Bechard tied Frankle Albitz's record for wins by a volleyball coach at Kansas. Bechard notched his 149th win at Kansas against Idaho State on Saturday, but he'll have to wait until next week to have a chance to break the record after Kansas fell to Oregon in the final game of the tournament. Albitz coached at Kansas from 1985-1993.
SHROYER (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
At least one publication has actually taken notice of Kansas' potential. The Jayhawks are ranked No. 26 in Soccer Buzz's preseason poll. The test for Francis will be getting his collection of talent to jell early. Kansas' schedule won't allow for any lapses. By Oct. 1, Kansas will have played five teams — BYU, Portland, Illinois, California and Texas A&M — that are ranked in one preseason poll or another. October isn't any more forgiving, though.
The first weekend of October, Kansas plays Drake in Des Moines, Iowa, on Oct. 5, then Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, on Oct. 7. After that, Kansas faces ranked conference foes Oklahoma State, Colorado and Texas over a fourgame span, having to travel to Boulder, Colo., and Austin, Texas, the same weekend.
But this team can handle it. In addition to all its talent, it has the leadership to match. This year's senior class is all that remains from 2004, and they're eager to return to the NCAA tournament. With their guidance, the juniors, sophomores and freshmen will follow suit, even if the billboards, commercials and publicity don't.
Here's a glance at what Kansas accomplished in 2004, the year Kansas plans to replicate this season:
A look back
Big 12 regular season champions (8-2 conference record)
Only five losses all season

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
formation last season but rarely stretched the field with long passes.
Whether Warinner's offense produces more big plays remains to be seen but the product could be more exciting. Last spring, sophomore quarterbacks Todd Reesing and Kerry Meier described the new offense as more up-tempo than past schemes.
The bits and pieces of the offense that fans and media glimpsed at the
spring scrimmage and fall practices appeared similar to Missouri's frequent use of the no-huddle offense and fluid play-calling technique. At media day, Warinner said fans would notice some changes, but the offensive makeover was more internal than external.
"We wanted to make the offense user-friendly," Warinner said. "We've put everything in categories, and players understand that.
It's all packaged together as the work of the coaching staff so it would be easy for the players to learn."

A simple offense could be the key to the success of Reesing, who has only thrown 24 passes in his collegiate career. Warinner said Reesing had learned the offense quickly and that the new system allowed the quarterback to grow and develop.
"I don't have to think about as many things," Reesing said. "Obviously we still have to understand where our reads are on each play, but they're trying to take pressure off of the players so we don't have to worry about thinking as much as playing."
The offense Warinner has brought to Kansas is based on the players' ability to communicate — whether they are communicating with one another on the field or with coaches in the meeting room. So far, the players have displayed that ability.
"Everything's going great because we have great players on offense and our coaching staff has done a great job of teaching this new offence we're running." Warinner said. "I feel like there is a great relationship between coaches and players. It's really coming along."

Johnson eager to suit up

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson watches his t im play the New Orleans Saints during the second half of their preseason football game in Kansas City, Mo., last Thursday.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Eager to chip away the rust, Larry Johnson is bugging Herm Edwards to let him run the ball in Kansas City's final exhibition game against St. Louis on Thursday night.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
But the coach, still concerned about the conditioning of a Pro Bowl running back who didn't set foot on the practice Yield until a few days ago, may not be easy to sway.
Johnson worked out diligently before ending his 25-day holdout and signing a six-year deal that includes a guaranteed $19 million, the richest contract in Chiefs history.
Thursday night's game at St. Louis will be the last chance for the 0-3 Chiefs to pick up a preseason victory.
"I'd like to play the whole game. But they're not going to let that happen," Johnson said.
Johnson, who carried an NFL-record 416 times last year for a team-record 1,789 yards rushing, figured he was about a week away from being in "game shape."
He's hoping he can help a struggling offensive line find its rhythm, too. Backups Michael Bennett and Kolby Smith have had little room to run.
"People who don't run behind them don't really understand the ins and outs," he said. "I told (left guard) Brian Waters if I was back there, I know what's going to happen. I know how to react on certain plays to help the offensive linemen out. Obviously, those running backs haven't been back there long enough to know if this would have happened, to make another move and stuff like that. You've got to be able to adjust. You've got to be able handle everything. And I'm used to doing that with this offensive line."
But Edwards said he was thinking long term.
"He's in good shape for a couple of runs," he said. "But he's not in shape to play a whole game yet. The thing you concern yourself most is when (running backs) get a little tired and they get a little loose with the ball, and the ball comes out. All of a sudden, they fumble because
they're fatigued. We're not going to put him in that position. We're going to be careful with him and bring him along in a 16-game season."
The Chiefs also signed free-agent wide receiver Eddie Drummond on Sunday, hoping to bolster their return game. With Detroit, the one-time Pro Bowl averaged almost 10 yards on 1.08 punt returns, with four touchdowns. He averaged 23.6 yards for 5,026 yards on 213 kick returns.
"We anticipate he'll play in the game this week," Edwards said. "He's a good special teams guy, a core guy."

Rookie backs stepping up
BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Preseason games don't count and neither do touchdowns that are erroneously ruled incompletions, as Brady Quinn discovered Saturday night.
Quinn was efficient and effective for the second straight game, leading the Cleveland Brown's past the Denver Broncos 17-16, although it probably wasn't enough to win him the starting job over Charlie Frye.
BRONCOS 35
Quinn threw a pass in the left flat that Joshua Cribbs turned into a nifty 20-yard touchdown to break a 10-10 tie in the third quarter. But the rookie from Notre Dame was robbed of another apparent touchdown pass on Cleveland's previous possession.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Although Joe Jurevicus hauled in Quinn's perfectly thrown 39-yard pass in the end zone, the nearest official ruled he didn't get both feet down before going out of bounds — replays showed otherwise, but Cleveland coach Romeo Crennel didn't challenge the call.
Broncos rookie running back Selvin Young is trying to prove himself f to Denver fans and his team. The Bronces lost 17-16 to the Cleveland Browns, Bay.
That was against Denver's frontline defense, too — although that may not be as impressive as it sounds. Slow to adapt to new boss Jim Bates' scheme, the Broncos' starters have allowed six touchdowns and three field goals in 15 possessions this preseason.
Quinn, whose TD to Cribbis came against backups, completed 7 of 11 passes for 81 vards.
The Broncos made it 17-16 on undrafted rookie Selvin Young's 9-yard rumble with 2:56 left, but linebacker Chaun T1 pomson tackled Young shy of the end zone on the 2-point try.
Crennel has said he might not name a starting quarterback until the week before the Sept. 9 opener.

Vick to enter plea in dogfighting case
BY LARRY O'DELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. — Michael Vick's guilty plea to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge will cap one of the most rapid and startling falls from stardom in U.S. sports history.
The Atlanta Falcons quarterback is scheduled to formally enter his plea Monday, following the path of three co-defendants who already have pleaded guilty.
In Vick's written plea agreement filed in federal court Friday, he admitted helping kill six to eight pit bulls and supplying money for gambling on the fights. He said he did not personally place any bets or share in any winnings.
With negotiations between prosecutors and defense attorneys out of the way, all that's left is for U.S. District judge Henry E. Hudson to accept the plea and decide how much time Vick will spend in prison, and for the NFL to determine the fate of Vick's career. The NFL suspended him indefinitely without pay Friday after his plea agreement was filed.
Merely associating with gamblers can trigger a lifetime ban from the NFL under the league's personal conduct policy.
If Monday's proceedings follow the pattern of Vick's three co-defendants, the quarterback's plea hearing will be brief, with the judge setting a sentencing hearing for late fall after a background report is completed.
The plea agreement calls for a sentencing range of 12 to 18 months. But Hudson is not bound by any recommendation or federal sentencing guidelines and could sentence Vick to as much as five years in prison.
The case began in late April when authorities conducting a drug investigation of Vick's cousin raided the former Virginia Tech star's property and seized dozens of dogs, some injured, and equipment commonly used in dogfighting.
A federal indictment issued in July charged Vick, Purnell Peace of Virginia Beach, Quanis Phillips of Atlanta and Tony Taylor of Hampton with an interstate dogfighting conspiracy. Vick initially denied any involvement, and all
four men pleaded innocent. Taylor was the first to change his plea to guilty; Phillips and Peace soon followed.
The details outlined in the indictment and other court papers fueled a public backlash against Vick and cost him several endorsement deals, even before he agreed to plead guilty.
In announcing the suspension, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell opened the way for the Falcons to attempt to recover $22 million of Vick's signing bonus from the 10-year, $130 million contract he signed in 2004.
Vick's plea Monday will come hours before the Falcons play against the Cincinnati Bengals. This will be the first chance for the team to see what effect Vick's case has on attendance. Vick is given much credit for the team's 51 consecutive sellouts.
After initially denying his involvement, Vick has said little publicly about the case. Privately, he met with Goodell and Falcons owner Arthur Blank when the investigation was beginning, and almost certainly lied to both.

SOCCER
CARSON, Calif. — David Beckham is taking a break.
Exhausted after playing three games in six days, Beckham won't travel with the Los Angeles Galaxy for Sunday's Major League Soccer game in Colorado.
Coach Frank Yallop decided to rest Beckham after evaluating the star midfielder's condition following a 3-0 loss Thursday to Chivas USA. He's expected to play next in Wednesday's SuperLiga championship against Pachuca at the Home Depot Center.
HOCKEY
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Milan Michalek agreed to a six-year, $26 million contract extension with the San Jose Sharks.
The Czech, a 22-year-old right wing, is considered a rising star after just two full NHL campaigns. He was San Jose's fourth-leading scorer last year, compiling career highs of 26

TENNIS
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — James Blake beat Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (2) in a match that ended just after midnight Saturday to set up an all-American final at the Pilot Pen.
Blake will play his best friend, Mardy Fish, for the title.
Fish beat hard-serving Croat Ivo Karlovic 7-6 (3), 6-4 to advance to his first final this year.
It will be the first time the frequent practice partners have played each other for a championship.
OSAKA, Japan — Luke Kibet of Kenya won the marathon in two hours, 15 minutes and 59 seconds, claiming the first gold medal of the 2007 track and field world championships.
Mubarak Hassan Shami of Qatar was second in 2:17:18, and fast-finishing Viktor Roethlin of Switzerland was third in 2:17:25.
TRACK AND FIELD
It was the slowest winning time in world championship history. The previous was 2:14.57 by Hiromi Taniguchi of Japan in Tokyo in 1991.
AUTO RACING
The race was marred by a NASCAR scoring error against Kyle Busch that cost him a chance to run for the victory. Busch was penalized with 77 laps to go because NASCAR said he violated the pit-road commitment line. He had to forfeit his second-place position, a penalty NASCAR later said was incorrect.
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Kasey Kahne passed Ryan Newman with eight laps to go, then held off several charges from Jason Leffler to win the Busch Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
But it was too late by then, as Busch had dropped all the way back to 28th.

Missouri could legalize scalping
>> TICKETS
Legislators, sports teams support law's repeal
BY DAVID A. LIEB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - If you're an avid sports fan, chances are fair that you've abetted a crime to get to a game.
Not by speeding down the highway to reach the stadium (though you may have done that, too) but by buying a ticket from a scalper.
Missouri is one of a dwindling number of states where it remains illegal to re-sell tickets to sporting events for more than face value. Scalpers can be fined $50-$1,000 and jailed from 15 days to one year, depending on how many times they have been caught.
Yet ticket scalping continues on sidewalks and Internet sites, largely because the 1989 law is difficult to enforce.
Now Missouri lawmakers appear poised to scalp the law.
The Missouri House of Representatives voted last week to repeal the anti-scalping law as part of a broader economic development package backed by Gov. Matt Blunt. The Senate is expected to do the same this week, when the focus of a special legislative session shifts to its chamber.
So should sports fans be celebrating?
Or should they be shaking in their seats for fear scalpers will freely jack up their ticket prices?
Advocates of repealing the law contend there's no need to worry. In fact, they claim fans likely will pay less when scalpers can legally charge more.
Huh?
Their reasoning rests on basic supply-and-demand economics. If ticket scalping becomes legal, then more people should be willing to do it. Thus the supply of tickets on the re-sale market should increase, and if demand for those tickets remains the same, then the prices should fall.
"There will be a flood of tickets for sale," St. Louis Cardinals lobbyist John Bardgett Jr. predicted last week to a legislative committee. "When that happens, competition works — prices get driven down."
That theme was echoed by representatives of the St. Louis Rams, Kansas City Chiefs, the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Ticketmaster, eBay and the Overland Park, Kan-based ticket brokering firm Ticket Solutions.
The Cardinals, for one, insisted legal ticket scalping would provide a greater benefit to their fans than their front office.
But Ticketmaster, among others, acknowledged the potential to make more money. The company already acts as an original ticket seller for the Chiefs and Rams, and also hosts an Internet site allowing for the re-sale of tickets.
With Missouri's current law as a deterrent, Ticketmaster refuses to allow Chiefs and Rams tickets to be sold above face value, said Joe Freeman, a company vice president and assistant general counsel. But if the law is repealed, Ticketmaster would allow sellers using its Internet site to charge as much as they want, he said.
It's unlikely, however, that Ticketmaster would allow people to charge less than face value, because professional sports teams don't like to devalue their product, Freeman said.
Other Internet sites already offer tickets to Missouri sporting events at prices both above and below Face value.
Some supporters of free-market ticket scalping point to a 2006 study by economist Craig Depken of the University of Texas at Arlington, who analyzed the average per-game season ticket prices from 1991-2003 for professional football and baseball teams.
Depken found that legalized ticket scalping can actually drive down prices charged by team owners. He estimated that baseball teams charge about 14 percent more when scalping is banned, and football teams charge nearly 24 percent more.
Although some acknowledge it seems a bit of a stretch, advocates of legal ticket scalping contend it could help Missouri's economy.

Royals let game slip in extra innings
Indians keep division lead over Tigers after late come-from-behind victory

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Royals center fielder David Delesus dives but can't catch a ball hit by the Cleveland Indians' Grady Sizemore. The Royals lost in 11 innings after entering the ninth with a 3-2 lead.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Travis Hafner and Victor Martinez singled in runs with two outs in the 11th inning, and the Cleveland Indians rallied for a 5-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
The Indians, who scored a run in the ninth to send the game into extra innings, remained two games ahead of the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central. The Tigers beat the Yankees 5-4.
Hafner's single off John Bale, the sixth Royals pitcher, scored Franklin Gutierrez, who led out the inning with a walk and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Grady Sizemore, who was hit by a Bale pitch, scored the second run of the inning on a Martinez single.
Joel Peralta (1-3), the fifth Royals pitcher, walked Gutierrez and was charged with the loss.

Rafael Betancourt (3-0), who threw 18 strikes out of 22 pitches, struck out three in two perfect innings to pick up the victory. Joe Boroski gave his 37th save in 42
The Indians were down to their final out in the ninth when Sizemore doubled off Royals rookie closer Joakim Soria. Asdrubal Cabrera followed with a single to center to score Sizemore. Soria was charged with his fourth blown save in 18 opportunities. His last blown save was May 20 at Colorado.
The Indians finished a nine-game road trip at 5-4, and travel home to start a seven-game homestand Monday.
Emil Brown drove in two runs and scored the other for the Rivals.
Indians right-hander Fausto Carmona allowed three runs and 10 hits in six innings. Carmona is 2-4 in his past seven starts, despite a 2.29 ERA. The Indians scored 11 runs in those games.
Royals right-hander Gil Meche held the Indians to two runs and seven hits over six innings, while striking out four and walking two. Meche, whom the Royals signed to a five-year, $55 million contract in
December, is 0-5 in his past seven starts since a July 20 victory at Detroit.
Brown, who went 4-for-4 on Saturday, singled to center in the sixth to score David Delesus and Ross Gload, who began the inning with singles. Brown took second on Jason Smith's ground out and scored on Shane Costa's two-out single.
Franklin Gutierrez's fielder's choice ground out.
Casey Blake, who entered the game hitting just .232 in the second half of the season, stroked a two-out run-producing single in the second for the first Cleveland run. Blake's single to center scored Ryan Garko, who led off the inning with a single, took second on a Kenny Lofton walk and went to third on
Alex Gordon's first error in 44 games and the Royals' first in 10 games led to an Indians' run in the fifth. Blake led off the inning with an infield single and moved to second on Gordon's throwing error. Blake stopped at third on Sizemore's infield single and scored when Cabrera grounded into a double play.
Notes: C John Buck was hit by a pitch in the sixth inning, bringing the Royals' total to 76, which leads the majors and ties the club record set in 2004. ... DH Mike Sweeney struck out in his only two at-bats Sunday with Omaha, the Royals' Triple-A affiliate.

Quarterbacks Garcia, Green prove their worth
MIAMI - Jeff Garcia saved his best for last.
Garcia played three series Saturday, and he helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Miami Dolphins 31-28 with a 26-yard touchdown to Joey Galloway on his final pass.
Bruce Gradkowski brought the Bucs from behind twice in the fourth quarter and threw touchdown passes of 6 yards to Earnest Graham and 1 yard to Paris Warren.
"I like some of the things we did offensively," said Bucs coach Jon Gruden, whose team improved to 2-1 in the preseason. "Defensively, we have to play better."
Dolphins rookie quarterback John Beck played the entire second half and threw for 162 yards and two touchdowns.
The first-team units played to a 14-14 standoff before both teams began using backup players midway through the second quarter.
Miami quarterback Trent Green, formally awarded the starting job this week, pulled off a trick play for one touchdown and threw for another.
But he also threw a screen pass that Tampa Bay linebacker Cato June intercepted and returned 2 vards for a score.
The Dolphins fell to 2-1 in the preseason.
"We stayed healthy with all the starters," Miami coach Cam Cameron said. "That's the first thing you feel good about."
After throwing an interception that set up a Miami score, Garcia directed a 76-yard drive, capped by his touchdown pass to Galloway on third-and-11.
"We need more of those, and more consistency," said Garcia, who went 4-for-10 for 54 yards. "It's still a work in progress."
Former Bucs starter Chris Simms played for the first time since a spleen injury that sidelines him last season. He took six snaps in the third quarter, threw an incomplete pass and was penalized for an illegal forward pass.
Beck started the second half and promptly led the Dolphins on a 79-yard touchdown drive, all of it coming through the air. He connected with P.K. Sam on a 51-yard touchdown pass to put Miami ahead 21-17.
Beck's unit was stopped on downs on its final two possessions, and he finished 11-for-22.
After Tampa Bay regained the lead, Beck directed a 76-yard touchdown drive. On third-and-5, he beat a blitz by going long to Derek Hagan for a 31-yard score.
Dolphins first-round draft pick Ted Ginn Jr. made catches to convert on third- and fourth-down situations. He finished with three receptions for 29 yards.
The Bucs' Carnell Williams carried four times for 25 yards, after rushing for only 3 yards in the first two preseason games.

Verizon welcomes band for summer tour stop
Dave Matthews Band performs at 7 tonight
Dave Matthews Band fans will travel to Bonner Springs en masse when DMB performs at 7 tonight at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.
He said that his anticipation for the concert had been building since the last time he saw the band perform live.
The show is part of DMB's 2007 summer tour.
"Each time I see Dave it's the best experience," Pirie said. "It gets better each time somehow, and I'm not sure how."
Nathan Pirie, Olathe senior, has seen DMB three times since 2002, and said the shows were always amazing.
Tickets cost $40 for lawn seats and $65 for reserved seating. Pirie said the DMB shows were well worth the money because each concert was different from previous ones.

Global Partners, a group that matches international and domestic students, received funding from student fees to help expand the program this year.

BIG 12
Oklahoma State returns firepower on offense
Last October, Oklahoma State's offense ripped through the Kansas defense, scoring all its points in the second half of a 42-32 defeat of the jayhawks.
This season, expect more of the same from the Cowboys' offense and senior wide receiver Adarius Bowman, who torched the Kansas secondary in last year's game for a Big 12-record 300 receiving yards. But the Cowboys' less talented defense must improve this season for them to contend in the Big 12 South.

Q&A
with
Professor Brent Metz Department of Anthropology
BY JENNIFER TORLINE
1. What courses do you teach?
I teach "Indigenous Traditions of Latin America","MexAmerica"
"Introduction to Cultural Anthropology" and "Masculinity in Cross-Cultural Perspective."
2. What do you enjoy the most about the courses you teach?
I like exposing students to alternative visions of world history and
human cultures.
4. What was your favorite part about college?
3. Where is your hometown?
St. Joseph, Mich.
I came from a small town, so I liked being exposed to alternative visions. My horizons were broadened by going to college. Things started to make sense.
5. Describe your perfect day.
It would consist of walking my
6. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
two dogs, Trotsky and Zora, working in my garden, running or riding my bike and spending time with my friends.
I'm overdue to go to South America. I've been to Mexico and every country in Central America, and I've taught multiple courses about South America, but I've never been there. I'd especially like to go to Chile because it's mountainous and still wild, although the wilderness is going fast.
My favorite place is Potter Lake because of all the monuments around it. I like to walk my dogs there. It's the prettiest part of campus, and it has a nice view of the stadium and the bell tower.
7. What is your favorite place on campus and why?
8. What is your most embarrassing moment while teaching?
9. Who is your hero?
There are so many of them. But my most embarrassing moment happened once after the time changed. I hadn't changed my watch yet, and was in my office when a student came and asked if we were having class. I said no, not yet, but didn't realize that it was 20 minutes into class. I was late.
Someone like Noam Chomsky, because he was academic and an activist, and successful at both.
10. What one accomplishment are you the most proud of?
Publishing my latest book, and the whole project it involved. My book was published last year, and is titled "Chorti-Maya Survival." I also co-authored a book in Spanish titled "Primero Dios," and I'm working on two others right now.

Grant allows Global Partners to expand program
New coordinator will help international students make new friends, learn about American culture

Global Partners, a program that matches volunteer students with international students at KU, will expand this year with a new coordinator position. The position was made possible with funding from this year's student fees.

CONCERT
Dave Matthews performs tonight in Bonner Springs

Fans of Dave Matthews Band will get the opportunity to see the band live when DMB makes its summer tour stop at 7 tonight at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Bonner Springs.
Tickets for the show went on sale in early May and fans have been eagerly anticipating the concert all summer.
"I'll listen to Dave Matthews' solo work, Dave Matthews Band, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, anything Dave or the band have done until the day of the show" said Nathan Pirie, Olathe senior. "My level of excitement is intense. The concert will be amazing, and I can't wait."
Since forming in Virginia in
1991, DMB has developed a large fan base through its live shows.
above other concerts.
Pirie will attend his fourth DMB concert tonight, and he said the shows were always amazing.
"The band improvises so much it just makes it feel like a jam session and is a more personal connection for the audience."
Pirie said he discovered Dave Matthews Band by chance thanks to his dad's CD collection.
"I think they stack up pretty well," Achenbach said. "It's great music and easy to feel relaxed and comfortable with the crowd. I have always found the people to be conscious and respectful of others, perhaps more so than at other concerts."
"One-of-a-kind, one that can't really be understood unless you're there." Pirie said. "The band improvises so much it just makes it feel like a jam session and is a more personal connection for the audience. People find themselves dancing to the music more than any other concert I've been to."
Matt Achenbach, Lindsborg junior, has attended three DMB shows in Kansas City and has been a fan since middle school. He said the atmosphere of the concerts was a cut
"Crash Into Me' was a cool song, and I just wanted to hear what the band sounded like," Pirie said. "I couldn't sleep, and I figured one of my dad's CDs would help. Needless to say, I was up
"I started to like Dave Matthews when I was little, but I didn't buy any of their CDs or anything," said Sally Doyen, Olathe junior. "Then after going to the concert I realized how talented the band really was."

Olathe senior
for a couple more hours; I listened to the DMB album 'Crash' straight through twice."
This summer's DMB tour was supposed to promote the band's seventh studio album, which
was intended for a July release, but was pushed back until 2008 to give the band more time to develop the album.
Rene Walker, an employee at the 4000 W. Sixth St. Hy-Ve store, handles TicketMaster sales in the mornings. She said DMB ticket sales have been good all summer.
"The sales have been steady," Walker said. "When they came out, though, we had a two-ticket limit for reserved seats in the pavilion and a six-ticket limit for lawn seats. I don't know if that played any role."
Fans who still want to see DMB hit the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater stage tonight might be in luck. Single reserved seats were still available for $65 as of Monday evening. Lawn seats were also still available for $40 each.

Dinner will kick off Dole Institute events
BY SASHA ROE
sroe@kansan.com
The Student Advisory Board of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics wants students to get involved. The board invites students to the Student Kickoff Dinner at the Dole Institute today for pizza, cookies and an opportunity to make connections with the nation's top public policymakers.
The event will introduce students to opportunities at the Dole Institute and with the Student Advisory Board.
Beka Romm, Bennington senior and student outreach coordinator, said she hoped the event would encourage students to attend the study groups that the Dole Institute offers.
Dole Institute fellows Jennifer Schmidt and Jerry Austin will lead the study groups this fall. Schmidt has served as senior counsel in the U.S. Senate and chief of staff for the majority leader and the
speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives. Her group "Women in Politics: Career Stories," will meet at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, beginning Sept. 5.
Austin is president of a politi-
eul advertising company, Gerald J. Austin and Associates, Inc., and has worked with the Rev. Jesse Jackson on his political campaign. Austin's group will meet at 4 p.m. on Tuesdays, beginning Oct.15.
connections in internships and careers."
Former Dole Institute fellows have been very honest about their careers with students.
"The groups can be very candid and sometimes emotional," Romm said. "But that's the coolest part. Sometimes students will ask questions that we cringe at, but no question is off-limits"

"He was very open," Romm said.
"He said, You do the best you can
with every situation.' "
Romm said the student-oriented atmosphere of the study groups was due to the direct influence of the Dole Institute's Student Advisory Board. Students will learn more about what the board does at the dinner and can sign up for newsletters to get involved.
Romm said the board was the first to meet to approve the fellows for study groups and generate group topics. She said the board instantly added value to a résumé.
"They're the face of Dole," Romm said. "They're the movers and shakers on campus. You'll find people who don't go home at night and watch TV, but go to meetings and make networks with a million people."
The dinner begins at 5 p.m. today at the Dole Institute. For more information about the dinner or to get involved, call the institute at (785)864-4900.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
PAGE 5A
Dear Editor.
Wednesday. Chemistry Professor Peter Hierl denounced
try Professor Peter Hierl denounced me publicly in class as the reason for students not having "his" books for Chem. 184. In addition, he directed them to complain personally to me. He also admitted to not responding
to my Aug. 20, 2007 e-mail. That e-mail was sent after he advised all students buying the complete edition of the book, which we were selling, to return it.
Throughout the summer, we made phone calls and sent e-mails to him regarding the practicality of using the "Chang: Chemistry" (complete) which
would allow students to buy one book for both Chemistry 184 and 188. He chose to ignore those messages as well.
As publishers increase efforts to make deals with instructors to kill used book availability, as well as prevent buyback on the custom packs, it is sad that Professor Hierl has chosen to work
DRAWING BOARD
with McGraw-Hill Publishing to split a two-semester book into a "custom" vol. 1 and vol. 2. Then to bundle each volume with his in-class Powerpoint presentation for a given semester. Until this fall, he placed the Powerpoint presentations on Blackboard. Now he chooses not to.

SEEMS LIKE
THEY'RE TAKING
CAMPUS SECURITY
PRETTY SERIOUSLY
THIS SEMESTER.
Whereas other instructors have written course pack materials, no one else has chosen the greed factor of bundling their work with a book that is cannibalized from a regular text.
I do not expect Professor Hierl to issue any apology to me, but he owes one to every student that was obligated to become self-serving to HIS wallet. Even with his defiance to spare students from unnecessary expense, I will continue to defy his and McGraw-Hill's tactics, or any other instructor/publisher shenanigans in the future.
At Jayhawk Bookstore, my staff is encouraged to provide for needs at the most practical means possible.

BITSO'WISDOM
MAX RINKEI
Food is expensive; this wisdom, priceless. Freshmen, a few interesting tips to survive on, even after all the frozen pizzas are gone.
We've returned to Lawrence, unofficial capital of Midwest college towns, and resumed the lives of students. We work diligently to ensure ourselves wellpaying jobs and secure futures, constantly finding new ways to effectively balance the responsibilities of college with the new freedoms of independent life.
No matter where you are from or what kind of life you lived before, there are a lot of things you will have to learn in order to make it, and I am taking it upon myself to give you a head start.
BENJAMIN R. SMITH
Okay then, that is out of the way, so your parents have probably breathed a deep sigh of relief and stopped reading, confident that quality journalists are taking care of their babies. Whatever you do, do not destroy that illusion for them. Freshmen, you have just officially begun your new lives as Jayhawks.
Here, for you are a handful of nuggets of wisdom to remember this coming year, conveniently numbered to make them look more interesting.
1. Some
of your neighbors will be rather annoying. In a wing full of people in their late teens, it is inevitable that at least a few will get into loud, repetitive arguments in the hallways, constantly try to hang out in your room to play your PS3, or stay up to odd hours of the night playing the worst acoustic rendition of "Purple Haze" you or anyone else has ever heard. In this case,
it is wise to walk into said bad musician's room and begin singing along. Loudly. In the wrong key. It shows them who's boss.
19 GOING ON 40
2. Food is expensive. You can't just put frozen pizzas on Mom's shopping list anymore. Even getting a doughnut and coffee at the Underground every morning will add up after a while. Take solace in the fact that chicken cheddar wraps contain representatives of every group in the Food Pyramid, meaning you can potentially survive on one meal a day.
3. Every kind of person imaginable can be found on Wesco Beach. No matter how hard the Union may try, the Beach is the true center of this fine university. Here is where most students will hang out between classes, doing Sudoku, talking to friends, and wondering where that spot they almost sat on came from. It is also on the Beach that you will find, on any given day, singing Hari Krishnas, people who
willingly degrade themselves as fund-raisers, a crazy guy from Nebraska who uses extension cords to teach anatomy lessons, and people who want you to sign petitions ranging from convincing congressmen to vote in a particular way to putting the Flying Spaghetti Monster in science textbooks. Enjoy the spectacle.
4. Even the best athletes can be seen on campus. Oh, accessibility, cool! Let's gaze at them in amazement and act like we know them because we saw them on TV! Actually, you are probably annoying the hell out of them. Get used to it, and try not to stare, not even at that dreamboat Mark Mangino.
There you have it. There is plenty that even I can not prepare you for in this small space. After all, your parents might have started reading again.

Learning from Living alone
A caution to students with overly lax security
When my roommate moved back into her parents' house last January, I was excited to live alone- and until the spring se-
FRANCESCA CHAMBERS

I actually was and how dangerous living alone is.
Even though the apartment complex I was living in at the time did not have a security system, I hardly ever bothered to lock my door. Lawrence reminded me of the small town I used to live in and so I was too naive to envision worst-case scenarios.
However, as the nation saw through Kelsey Smith's abduction, there are people who are not as fortunate as me.
It's embarrassing that it took Smith's murder to force our community to give more thought to the dangers around us. But our shame should not stop us from learning from this tragedy.
As many know, Smith was forced into her own car by her murderer, in the day light, in the parking lot of the Target across the street from Oak Park Mall in Overland Park, Kan. Smith's abduction was one of few cases in which someone who was physically able to fight back was kidnapped during the day, in a public place, in a good part of town.
All Targets have security cameras as well as a security guard who can usually be found standing inside of the building near the front doors during the stores' business hours. Yet Smith fell through the cracks.
This problem applies more specifically to students at the University of Kansas than one might think at first glance.
Every time I have heard the question of security mentioned in conjunction with the University, the answer has always been more "blue lights."
light sends a message to campus security who supposedly arrives lightning-fast to the area where the light was activated.
Regardless of the
number of blue lights, it only takes a few seconds to murder or abduct someone. So having blue lights on every corner is not going to solve the problem.
I applaud Student Senate and others' efforts to provide more security at the University. However, I think it's more important to focus on how to individually protect ourselves.
Before leaving her home to go to Target, Smith told her parents and her boyfriend where she was headed. But, again, as we have now learned, alerting someone else of our whereabouts only helps in the aftermath of a situation.
When I am walking in Lawrence at night I talk, or pretend to talk, on my cell phone. While this is no more helpful than pushing a button on a blue light, it's at least a free form of discouragement.
And as painful as this may sound, keep your iPod volume on LOW. Even in a group of people, it would be easy to sneak up on someone who has their music on high.
Create a plan of what you would do if danger did present itself while at home alone. As dumb as they seemed, the fire escape plans we used to learn before every bus ride would have saved our lives in case of an actual emergency. Most importantly, always carry the fear of abduction in the back of your mind when alone. If you are at least a little worried about abduction, you will be less reckless.

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
Defensive tackle returns to practice, may start Saturday
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
INJURY UPDATE
The injury status of junior defensive tackle Todd Haselhorst is still up in the air. On Monday, coach Mark Mangino said Haselhorst recently resumed on-field workouts and would practice at full speed today.
"We think that he has a great opportunity to play — our medical staff does — so we just have to see, with a little bit of a workload this week, how he handles it," Mangino said.
If healthy, Haselhorst most likely will start alongside senior James McClinton. If Haselhorst does not start, sophomore Caleb Blakesley is the leading candidate to fill in.
RUNNING BACKS
Kansas' most recently released depth chart included a few surprises. Sophomore running back Angus Quigley was the most notable absentee from the chart. Quigley looked impressive in preseason practices but failed to make the three-deep position, which includes sophomore Jake Sharp, senior Brandon McAnderson and freshman Carmon Boyd-Anderson.
Mangino said Boyd-Anderson had a realistic shot at a major role in the backfield.
"Carmon Boyd-Anderson is running number three, and that's just because he's a freshman and he's learning." Mangino said. "Every day he gets better and better out on
the field, so he will play."
OFFENSIVE LINE
From the looks of the depth chart, junior guards Chet Hartley and Adrian Mayes held onto their starting jobs. Junior Rameses Arceo is listed as the backup at right guard and junior Jason Hind is second at left guard.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Junior Raymond Brown, a converted defensive back, cracked the depth chart as a starting wide receiver. Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said Brown was one of the fastest players on the team, and junior cornerback Aqib Talib praised his preseason play. Brown and senior Marcus Henry are the starters at wideout, and junior Dexton Fields is the team's No. 1 slot receiver. The reserve receivers are freshman Dezmon Briscoe, sophomore Raimond Pendleton and junior Marcus Herford.
CORNERBACKS
The defensive side of the depth chart looks more settled but just as youthful. Freshman Chris Harris will start at cornerback across the field from Talib. Harris is replacing junior Kendrick Harper, who could return from an injury by the conference season. Freshman Drew Dudley is the No.2 option at middle linebacker and redshirt freshman Phillip Strozier is listed second at cornerback.

Oklahoma State wide receiver Adarius Bowman fighters for one more of his Big 12-12 record 300 receiving yards against Kansas last October in Lawrence. The Cowboys defeated the Jayhawks 42-32, scoring all their points in the second half and gaining more than 600 total yards. Bowman will return as a senior this year and lead Oklahoma State's powerful offense, but the Cowboys' defense may lack talent.

Kansas fans witnessed the explosiveness of the Oklahoma State offense firsthand last year when the Cowboys scored 42 second-half points and gained more than 600 total yards.
The nation was next to notice the Cowboys when coach Mike Gundy's dream of bringing a high-octane offense to Stillwater, Okla., was becoming a reality.
2006 recap
Not much will change this year as the Cowboys' offense is littered with NFL talent. The only concern is whether the defense has enough talent to compete wit

the pocket. He rushed for more than 500 yards.
The danger doesn't end there for opponents. Oklahoma State also returns senior running back Dantrell Savage, who
would likely have been the Big 12's leading returning rusher if he hadn't missed two games last season. Savage still averaged 6.5 yards per carry last season and adds yet another dimension of blistering speed for the Cowboys.
The offensive line should also improve. All five starters have sufficient experience and junior center David Washington and senior tackle David Koenig are
two of the Big 12's best.
DEFENSE
The hope is that with seven starters returning, the Cowboys' defense will be improved. Make that much improved, because only Baylor's and Iowa State's defenses ranked lower than Oklahoma State's in the Big 12 last year.
The linebackers are where the ascent to respectability must start. The Cowboys return senior middle linebacker Rodrick Johnson and sophomore outside linebackers Chris Collins and Patrick Lavine. Johnson also will see some playing time at defensive end to bring a new
intensity to the pass rush.
Lavine recorded seven tackles per game his freshmen season and should improve this year. Collins may miss some time because of legal troubles and could possibly be suspended, which would be devastating to this unit.
has the size and athleticism to cover the Big 12's best receivers.
The secondary also returns all four starters from 2006, including the defense's leading tackler, sophomore strong safety Andre Sexton. Senior cornerback Martel Van Zant
This could be the year the Cowboys rise to become one of the best teams in the Big 12 South.
SEASON OUTLOOK
This could be the year the Cowboys rise to become one of the best teams in the Big 12 South. They first must get through their nonconference schedule, which features the toughest first game of any Big 12 team. Oklahoma State travels to Athens, Ga., Saturday to take on the Georgia Bulldogs of the SEC.
Oklahoma State also plays at Troy,which is a tougher game than it seems because Troy is the best team in its conference and upset Missouri three years ago.
The Cowboys have tough Big 12 road games at Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Oklahoma State is capable of pulling a couple of upsets and having its best season under Gundy.

DODD (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
Here are a couple of ready-made taunts for Central Michigan. For sophomore star-quarterback Dan LeFevour: "Hey Dan, I got a LeFevour, and the only prescription is for you to throw an interception." And for sophomore offensive lineman Allen Ollenburger: "Hey Allen, it looks like you've maybe had one too many' Ollenburgers' there, buddy."
And for junior defensive line-man Chris Wohlgmuth: "Hey Wohlgmuth, I love you in the epic Beowulf." Let the record show that this activity is generally only fun if you do it after you crash a tailgate party.
WATCH THE GAME
The past few years, the actual game has played a secondary role to the "social events" of the day. Here's to hoping that changes this season. Mark Twain said that an optimist is just a daydreamer more elegantly spelled, so let's spend the next four days dreaming a little.
ESPN's Todd McShay picked the Jayhawks to win the Big 12 North, and you know what? Why can't they? We'll find out more about this team and what they can accomplish on Saturday, but for now, there is no reason not to have hope.
So watch the game on Saturday
evening, and do it with a bit of old fashioned optimism.
- Watch new offensive coordinator Ed Warinner's play calling. Kansas fans have been promised a more open, aggressive attack. Will it come to fruition?
— Watch freshman cornerback Chris Harris as he starts opposite junior Ajqb Talib, All-America candidate. Will Harris play well enough to help a secondary that surrendered nearly 270 yards per game last season!
- Watch Todd Reesing the first time he rolls right out of the pocket. Reesing said he felt right at home rolling to his to right. C'mon Todd, let's see what you got.
- Watch junior right tackle Anthony Collins' feet while protecting quarterback Todd Reesing. Collins makes playing offensive line an art form.
— Watch sophomore running back Jake Sharp in the fourth quarter. Sharp's ability to handle the full load at tailback has been questioned. Will Sharp's 5-foot-9, 190 pound frame handle the pounding of a 20-carry game?
— Lastly, watch part of the game from the friendly confines of the hill. It's the most gorgeous view in college football, and who knows, maybe you'll find a tailgate party.

BOWLING (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
Overbey said bowling required a lot of practice and skill to achieve success, but he said most of bowling was mental. Every bowling alley has varied levels of oil on the lanes. Overbey said a good bowler could read how much oil there was, where it was and how it changed from the previous shot by watching the ball's movement down the lane. Depending on what the bowler sees, he or she plays a specific game for the conditions. Team members usually spend practices working on adapting to the many conditions that a lane may provide so that the members can prepare well for tournaments and
not be caught off-guard, Overbey said.
Returning team member Kenny Goodell, Wichita senior, said trips seemed to be a favorite activity for the team.
"I like the people," Goodell said. "The team is like a community."
The national tournament will be held in Wichita this year, and the team is hoping to qualify and get the opportunity to compete against one of its in-state rivals.
The team is holding tryouts in September and hopes to add a few more members to its community.

Atlanta Falcons football player Michael Vick looks prepares to address the media after pleading guilty to a federal dogfighting charge in Richmond, Va., on Monday. Vick will be sentenced Dec. 10.
Vick pleads guilty, apologizes
Player suspended indefinitely by NFL after dogfighting fiasco
BY LARRY O'DELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I need to grow up," he added.
Then he apologized to "all the young kids out there for my immature acts."
"I was not honest and forthright in our discussions," the star quarterback said Monday, somber and deliberate and not speaking from notes.
RICHMOND, Va. — First, Michael Vick apologized to all the people he lied to. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank. Coach Bobby Petrino. His teammates.
Saying he was speaking "from the heart," 'ick said he took full responsibility for his actions.
And so began a public act of contrition from Vick, who pleaded guilty to a federal dogfighting charge and then stood behind a podium to say his job now was "bettering Michael Vick the person, not the football player."
Acceptance of responsibility is one of the factors U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson will consider in handing down Vick's sentence Dec. 10. The federal sentencing guideline range is projected at a year to 18
months, but Hudson can impose up to the five-year maximum.
Vick was suspended indefinitely by the NFL after his written plea agreement was filed in court Friday.
"So I got a lot of down time, a lot of time to think about my actions and what I've done and how to make Michael Vick a better person," Vick said.
U. S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg said a first-time offender ordinarily might receive no jail time for the dogfighting conspiracy.
"We thought, however, that the conduct in this conspiracy was heinous, cruel and inhumane," he said.
Blank and general manager Rich McKay refused to say whether Vick would ever play for the Falcons again, though their reluctance to cut ties with the quarterback is related more to complicated legal issues than any willingness to take him back. They've already sent a "demand letter" to Vick saying they will attempt to recoup the bonus money he was paid.
"We realize that this situation has tarnished our franchise," Blank said. "We've heard from fans who are embarrassed to wear the No. 7 jersey now. We cannot undo what's been done. But we can and we will recover from this."
The Falcons will receive a $6 million cap credit for Vick's salary this year because he's been suspended without pay. They are still on the hook for about $22 million in prorated bonus obligations spread out over this season and the next two. Any bonus money that is returned by Vick will be credited to Atlanta's cap number.
Outside the courthouse, a contingent of Vick supporters sang "This Little Light of Mine" and other hymns, while holding signs that said "We Love You" and urged Vick to seek support in religion. Steven Terry, pastor of Deliverance Tabernacle Church in the Tidewater area, organized the group of at least two dozen supporters.
A few dozen animal-rights protesters also stood outside the courthouse, some holding signs saying "Prosecute All Dogfighters."
In his written plea, Vick admitted helping kill six to eight pit bulls and supplying money for gambling on the fights. He said he did not personally place any bets or share in any winnings, but merely associating with gambling can result in a lifetime ban under the league's personal conduct policy.

Houston's owner cleans house Manager, GM fired after team falls out of contention
(785) 841-4833
BY CHRIS DUNCAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Less than two years ago, the Houston Astros were celebrating their first National League pennant. On Monday, they were starting over.
Manager Phil Garner and General Manager Tim Purpura were fired by owner Drayton McLane, who said the franchise "needed a fresh start" after a plunge to the bottom of the NL Central.
Bench coach Cecil Cooper was appointed interim manager, and team president Tal Smith will serve as interim general manager.
"I felt for a number of reasons, we needed new direction, invigoration, to play with more enthusiasm and play more like a champion," McLane said.
The Astros slumped to 58-73 this year, nine games behind the division-leading Chicago Cubs. They've lost five of their last seven home games, to lowly Washington and Pittsburgh.
"We had really fallen into a pattern of so-so ball," Garner said during a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "We were never able to put together the run, like we made in the previous two seasons. I think there were a number of reasons for that."
Houston became the fourth team to switch managers this season. Baltimore fired Sam Perlozzo on June 18, and Cincinnati fired Jerry Narron on July 1, the same day Mike Hargrove resigned as Seattle's manager.
Cooper was with his family on Monday when Smith and McLane called to offer him the job.
The 57-year-old Cooper becomes a major league manager for the first time. The five-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner was the bench coach in Milwaukee in 2002 and managed Triple-A Indianapolis in 2003-04.
"It's been kind of a whirlwind tour this morning," he said. "Drayton asked me if I was OK and all of a sudden, in the pit of my stomach, I
felt sick. It really was a shock to me. I kind of got a little emotional, but I'm also excited about the opportunity. I've been to the World Series as a player and a coach. Now, I want to try it as a manager."
Cooper says he has a plan for turning around the Astros. He promoted first-base coach Jose Cruz to bench coach and moved bullpen coach Mark Bailey to the first-base position and planned to unveil some lineup changes on Tuesday.
"I know how to win," Cooper said. "I really do believe I know what it takes to get the Houston Astros over the hump and back to the World Series."
The Astros have 31 games left and open a three-game series with St. Louis on Tuesday. McLane suggested that the rest of the season essentially was an audition for Cooper.
"This is an opportunity for Cecil to show us his leadership," McLane said. "It wouldn't be bad if we won all 31."
The Astros were 82-80 last year.

Bowlers practice with precision for new season
Five days a week, team heads to the Jaybowl to fine-tune techniques and have some fun

On the first two lanes at the Jaybowl, a team of nine men and one woman is bowling. The atmosphere is similar to that of a night out with friends, but these bowlers are paying more attention to detail, trying to hone their skills for the semester's tournaments.

KU bowling provides an opportunity for the inexperienced and advanced bowlers alike, but even though anyone can be a member of the team, it only travels with nine athletes.

Coach Trent Overbey said that he appre-

that he appreciated the sport because a wide range of people were able to enjoy it and compete.
Competition is a main ingredient in the life of a KU bowler because the team attends eight tournaments each school year.

Despite his size, Reesing measures up
FOOTBALL
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
Todd Reesing's measurements aren't too impressive. Listed at 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, he stands four inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter than fellow quarterback Kerry Meier. But in Reesing's case, it's the intangibles that impress.
"He has the mentality that he's going to make something good happen every time he gets his hands on the ball," coach Mark Mangino said. "That's the type of personalty you want at quarterback."
Despite his physical shortcomings, Reesing beat Meier in the preseason race for the starting quarterback job. Intangibles defeated measurements in August — a trend Kansas hopes will continue into the fall months.
Early last season, Reusing was overlooked by fans and media both. Despite
When he took the reins after halftime, Reesing led Kansas to a comeback win. In the process, he impressed the fans and coaches who overlooked him for the first few games of his

Reesing's uncanny ability to make something from nothing could come in handy as soon as Saturday. Kansas faces Central Michigan, a team that returns quality starters along the defensive line and in the linebacking corps. With no go-to option available at running back, Reesing could face a stiff test in his first career start.
So far this preseason, Reesing has passed every test he has been given. With a little help from his intangibles, Reesing is standing tall atop the Kansas depth chart.

Opportunities abound for game-day fun at Saturday's season opener
BY RUSTIN DODD
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
RDODD@KANSAN.COM
That's how long it's been since Kansas played a home football game at Memorial Stadium, a 39-20 victory against Kansas State. Let me be the first to say, Kansas football, welcome back.
A. Suresh
There is something special about game days at Memorial Stadium. And that's saying something, considering the quality of the product on the field during the past decade.
Did you know that Kansas hasn't shown up in the AP Top 25 rankings since Sept. 28, 1996? Kansas was ranked 20th, then lost to Utah 45-42, and hasn't been back since. The program's record since that Utah game? 48-76.
But wait. Don't think this is some kind of Bruce Bowen-esque cheap shot at the Kansas football program. The point is that throughout all the onfield struggles, Memorial Stadium has remained a special place.
283 days.
"You're from Naperville? Wow, what a coincidence. I have family there!"
Maybe it's the campus, rising majestically over that glorious golden valley. Maybe it's the cozy charm of the surrounding neighborhoods, giving game days the feel of a backyard barbecue. Or quite possibly it's the loyalty of the student body, a student body that would never waste an opportunity to throw a party.
— Rule No. 3: Have an excuse and an escape route planned out. Something like, "Oh, you mean to tell me this isn't 1232 Ohio! Boy, do I feel like an idiot," will never fail.
Whatever it is, let's enjoy it. Whether you are a freshman experiencing game day for the first time or a super senior taking a victory lap, take a minute this Saturday to soak in some August evening sun, crack open a frosty beverage and immerse yourself in the atmosphere
— Rule No. 2: Do your homework. Yes, you need to be able to have a conversation about the team, but more importantly, you need to know a vast collection of information about the suburbs of Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis, Denver and Dallas. You'd be surprised how quickly you can go from tailgate party crasher to guest of honor just by faking where you're from.
Still not sure? Well, here's a list of three activities that are guaranteed to make your game day memorable.
GO IN EARLY
CRASH A TAILGATE PARTY
Too lazy to throw your own tailgate party? Join the club. But wait, tailgate-crashing is complicated stuff. Don't just jump into it thinking that you can get by on charisma alone. You need a game plan.
— Rule No. 1: Make sure there are at least 20 people there. If there aren't 20 people there, it's a gathering, not a party, and at gatherings, people know each other.
College football games are long. I've seen people read entire Harry Potter books in the time it takes to play a Kansas football game. But remember, you'll get a good seat, you can always leave early and you'll have time to grab a roster of the other team and think of clever ways to taunt them.

Community Affairs Director up for re-approval
Barnes denies involvement with petition forgery last spring
When full Senate meets tonight for the first time this academic year, a re-
vote to approve Katherine Barnes to the position of Community Affairs Director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board will be at the top of the agenda.
Barnes, Hutchinson senior and junior/senior College of Liberal Arts
PETER SCHULZ
Barnes
and Sciences senator, was presented for appointment to the position last spring, but the appointment was not passed because of speculation that Barnes was involved with breaking election rules during.student senate elections.
Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, was eventually able to appoint Barnes to the position on an interim basis for the summer. Tonight, Student Senate will vote on whether she should be
kept on for the academic year.
Kathy Talbot, student success advisor for the elections commission, said Barnes' name was mentioned in connection with Patrick McGowan, who was dismissed from student elections last spring after the Election Commission found that he falsified signatures on the petition needed to apply to run for a Student Senate seat. Talbot said election commission members contacted people on McGowan's petition who claimed they never
signed their names.
Talbot said that there were discussions that Barnes had committed similar offenses, but no formal complaints were filed with the Commission.
"The Commission did notice correlation between the two petitions," Talbot said. "I don't think there was enough evidence. It was coincidental evidence."
Barnes said that she did not break election rules last spring.
"I knew the rules, and I didn't break any. Nothing was ever filed against me," Barnes said. "Those are rumors that were flying around amongst other people. I don't think it should be called into question."
Alex Treaster, legislative director for SLAB, said that Barnes worked this summer on registering voters, planning Civic Engagement Week and working with the Lawrence City Commission.
Barnes will present the work she's done this summer before Love presents her for reappointment.

Owen Wilson in hospital, suicide attempt suspected
CELEBRITY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Police were called to Owen Wilson's home because of an attempted suicide report, according to a police log of weekend calls.
The log doesn't indicate who made the call Sunday, but lists "attempted suicide" as the reason for it.
Wilson was in good condition Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Hospital officials said Tuesday they weren't releasing any undated information.
The actor's publicist, Ina Treciokas, declined to answer questions Tuesday about whether Wilson
attempted to commit suicide. She said Wilson's statement asking for privacy was all that was being released.
Wilson, 38, was initially taken by ambulance from his home to Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica and later transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The police log shows the initial call came in at 12:08 p.m. and cleared at 5:17 p.m. and a report was filed. Police said Monday that privacy laws prohibited them from releasing that document.
The police log was obtained Tuesday by CelebTV.com.
Wilson has two movies in production and two more upcoming releases to help promote.
DreamWorks Pictures said in a statement that filming continues on "Tropic Thunder," a comedy starring Wilson. The studio offered no details on whether Wilson's role in the movie, directed by Ben Stiller and starring Jack Black, would be recast.
It was also unknown if Wilson's hospitalization would affect his appearance opposite Jennifer Aniston in the 20th Century Fox comedy "Marley & Me"
A Fox spokesman told Hollywood trade paper Daily Variability that "it's a totally inappropriate question at this
time' whether he would appear in the movie.
Wilson's hospitalization could also keep him from helping promote "The Darjeelie Limited," in which he stars alongside Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman. The Fox Searchlight film was to be released next month.
Paramount also had a Wilson film due out in *March*; the Judd Apatow-produced "Drillbit Taylor."
Treciokla released a brief statement Monday on Wilson's behalf: "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."

DALLAS — The entries in this year's Big Tex Choice Awards could entice State Fair visitors back to the deep fryer for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
There are Deep Fried Lattes for a morning jump-start, plus fried chili pie, fried guacamole, and a range of crispy desserts including Fried Cookie Dough.
The third annual Big Tex Choice Awards contest on Labor Day tests the fair grub ingenuity of State Fair of Texas concessionsaires. Past Big Tex awards have offered nonfried options, but none of this year's seven entries escaped the fryer.

said Ron Black, the fair's senior vice president of food service and novelties. "We've got experienced concessionaires, and their products all taste really good."
Michael Levy will debut his family's new Deep Fried Latte, which is a fried pastry topped with cappuccino ice cream, caramel sauce, whipped cream and instant coffee powder.
"We have gained about 10 pounds trying this. I'm not kidding," Levy said."I've probably eaten 300 of these trying to get it right."

KU graduate Ashley Sloan, left, is a founding member of Live St. Louis, a non-profit organization that rebuilds homes in New Orleans. Sloan will share her experiences with help Hurricane Katrina victims tonight on "Anderson Cooper 360."
Graduate to tell story on CNN
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
ccondron@kansan.com
When University of Kansas graduate Ashley Sloan arrived in New Orleans to help victims of the Hurricane Katrina, she had a hard time sleeping without heat. And a lack of hot water took some getting used to as well.
A woman who had lost her home offered to let her sleep in a 20-by-30-feet FEMA trailer, along with the woman, her husband and their six grandchildren.
"After all the things she lost, she was still going to give back," Sloan said.
Tonight, Sloan, a 2005 graduate, will be featured in CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" Hurricane Katrina two-year anniversary show to discuss her work in the area, and the work that still needs to be done.
"We are trying to work together to bring about support and awareness and to bring more people down there." Sloan said.
Sloan was able to contact
"Anderson Cooper 360" through AmeriCorps, a volunteer group she had volunteered with before. AmeriCorps submitted her biography to the show, and CNN called her that night to interview her. They told her that she spoke with a lot of passion, and tonight she will be interviewed in the last segment of the show.
"I definitely think national exposure to recognize any organization is great, and I think Anderson Cooper does a great job covering these issues." Sloan said.
Before Hurricane Katrina, Sloan took a year off after her junior year to do community service work with AmeriCorps in the South, including New Orleans. After graduating from the School of Journalism, she worked at an advertising agency. There she had a client with a New Orleans store that was unaffected by Katrina, who told her she wished hurricanes happened all the time, because it had been so good for the store.
"I realized that I needed to re-evaluate the path that my life was headed in," Sloan said.
Sloan returned to AmeriCorps as a team leader. She worked in New Orleans with Tyler Manson, Wichita freshman. Manson took a year off to volunteer with AmeriCorps before coming to the University.
This instance motivated Sloan to return to New Orleans and help out.
"When you work with them you meet the community and get so attached," Manson said. "It's great that Ashley decided to continue her service there, and it really is needed."
Sloan recently co-founded a nonprofit organization called Live St. Bernard. The organization's goal is to finance and gut a home, rebuild it, and then use it to attract builders who want to and help rebuild homes in New Orleans.
"This is everyone's country, and we need to help our fellow countrymen rebuild," Sloan said. "People need to recognize that any area can't be rebuilt overnight."

He said that, with the vast coverage of the 2008 election, there was no reason a student would not want to get involved.
Austin said his study groups,
"The longest running reality show is the American presidency," Austin said. "You can follow the election all over television, the Internet and YouTube."
Austin started out as a junior high social studies teacher and volunteered in campaigns. Austin said he discovered the competition of politics to be exciting.
Austin opened his own political and public relations firm in 1978 after realizing he was more interested in campaigns than his full-time job. Austin worked closely with politicians, and it's those experiences he could use to illuminate students.
"It's a one-day sale," Austin said.
"For 18 months you pretty much run a business, but then you vote on one day, and it's over. I like the 'one day, this is it.'"
"I'll show you what I've done and tell you how it works in the real world," Austin said.
"Presidential Campaigns," would give students a back-room view of politics with visits from some of the nation's top political reporters. He said it would also show students how important it was for them to care about the 2008 presidential election.
"I don't care who you vote for, but just get involved," Austin said. "This is supposed to be a participatory democracy, but the majority doesn't participate."
Jonathan Earle, Dole Institute interim director, said the timing and topic of Austin's study groups was significant. Earle said Austin's work with various presidential candidates was very valuable.
"Students are already tuned into this election," Earle said. "Austin will bring real world experience."
also present in his second passion — sports. Austin, who lettered in basketball in college, said every year he goes to Las Vegas to watch the March Madness basketball games. He had one request when he knew he was going to be working at the University of Kansas.
"I said. 'I'll come do this, but I need to go to a KU basketball game,' " Austin said. "I will lose my standing with my friends in the sports world if I don't go to Allen Fieldhouse."

Austin said he looked forward to returning to the campus in October to lead the study groups.
"The most important thing I'm doing right now is teaching." Austin said. "I hope I can give students a practitioner's perspective."

M. S. RISHAN
man, is best known for his work as Tobey Maguire's stunt double in the "Spider-Man" trilogy. He will speak at 7 tonight in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Daniels plans to show clips from the "Spider-Man" films, and show
certain items from the prop bag he uses on film sets. He will perform some of his famous stunts for the audience.
Student Union Activities is sponsoring the event.
A stunt show will take place on Wescoe Beach around noon to promote the event.
Ann Vangsnes, Grand Forks, N.D., sophomore and SUA films coordinator, said Daniels' agency contacted SUA with an e-mail flyer. "If agencies are trying to promote an act they think will do well, we try to bring that act to KU. This was really appealing and a chance for us to expand on just screening films," she said.
"It's going to be interesting to hear about his experiences on the film and his background," Vangsnes
said. "He's the guy who's in the background doing amazing things, maybe hanging out with Tobey Maguire." She said the talk will give students a chance to hear aspects of a film set they normally don't hear about.
Shawn Bowers, Overland Park senior and SUA public relations director, said Daniels' talk goes alongside the Movie on the Hill showing of "Spider-Man 3" during Hawk Week.
Besides working as a double for Maguire, Daniels worked stunts for the villain in the 2003 film "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." Daniels also did stunt work for the 2006 film "Just My Luck." He has appeared on the television shows "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" and "Angel."
In 2005, he won the stunt man's
Taurus Award for best stunt in the 2004's film "Spider-man 2." The stunt that earned him the award featured Peter Parker attempting to jump from building to building. He failed mid-jump, falling into clothes lines, crashing into the sides of buildings, and landing on the roof of a car below, according to www.taurusworldstumtawards.com
Collin Cick, Wichita senior, said he planned to attend Daniels' talk.
"It's something off the beaten path," Click said. "I will probably go because it's cool and really interesting to me."
All tickets to the event are free with a valid KUID.

University dean to speak on learning, memory
SCIENCE
BY JEFF DETERS
jdeters@kansan.com
Joseph Steinmetz, dean of liberal arts and sciences, developed an interest in the field of neuroscience as an undergraduate at Indiana University. That interest has remained strong since then. Steinmetz will give a lecture entitled "How is the Brain Involved in Learning and Memory?" at noon today in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Center.
"What we're interested in is how neurons inside the brain change during learning and memory," Steinmetz said. "And I think one of the biggest things that have come out of the field
the last several years is that the brain doesn't have one memory system, one learning system. It has many."
Steinmetz's research focuses on two kinds of memory: procedural and declarative. Procedural memory is learning and remembering procedures and motor skills, and declarative memory is associated with remembering facts.
Over the past 10 years much of his work has been concentrated on clinical populations to better understand disorders like autism, fetal alcohol syndrome and schizophrenia. Steinmetz said his speech would look at the history of the field of neuroscience and also where it could go
in the future. But Steinmetz said that the people who develop learning skills earlier are at an advantage.
"The younger that you participate and go through learning, the easier it is to learn things," he said. "And that's because the brain is still changing in young people."
Steinmetz's speech is part of the ECM's University Forums, which feature guest speakers Wednesdays throughout the semester. Thad Holcombe, director of University Forums, said the purpose of the weekly forums had changed over the years.

"The original goal was for faculty to present topics of research to
Holcombe said Steinmetz was chosen because of his reputation in the field of neuroscience.
"I think the whole area of the brain is becoming more and more of an issue for people as they look at learning and memory." Holcombe said. "He's going to be great."

Nation sees number of impoverished citizens decrease
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER
Fewer Americans under poverty level, Census Bureau reports
WASHINGTON — Five years into a national economic recovery, the share of Americans living in poverty finally dropped.
The nation's poverty rate was 12.3 percent in 2006, down from 12.6 percent a year before, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday. Median household income increased slightly, to $482,000.
The numbers provided some good economic news at a time when financial markets have been rattled by a slumping housing market. But they were tempered by an increase
in the number of Americans without health insurance, from 44.8 million in 2005 to 47 million last year.
Some advocates said the numbers were evidence of an uneven economy that is leaving many Americans behind.
"Too many Americans find themselves still stuck in the deep hole dug by economic policies favoring the wealth," said Rep. Charles B. Rangel, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. "Income remains lower than it was six years ago, poverty is higher, and
the number of Americans without health insurance continues to grow"
But Douglas Besharov, a resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, said there is a lot of good news in the numbers.
"We're looking at a situation where unemployment was down, and it was down for single mothers, who make up a substantial portion of the people in poverty," Besharov said. "We need a good economy. That's not all we need, but we should not complain when it helps lower poverty."
The last significant decline in the
poverty rate came in 2000, during the Clinton administration, when it went from 11.9 percent to 11.3 percent.
The poverty rate increased every year for the next four years, peaking at 12.7 percent in 2004. It was 12.6 percent in 2005, but Census officials said that change was statistically insignificant.
The poverty level is the official measure used to decide eligibility for federal health, housing, nutrition and child care benefits. It differs by family size and makeup. For a family of four with two children, for example, the poverty level is $20,444.
Democrats on Capitol Hill said the insurance numbers justify spending more money for a popular government health insurance program for children.

The share of Americans without health insurance hit 15.8 percent last year, the highest percentage since 1998. In 2005, 15.3 percent of American citizens were without insurance.
The annual increase was fueled mainly by a decline in the share

tions on the very top," said Democrat John Edwards, who has made eradicating poverty a centerpiece of his campaign. "We need truly universal health care and a national effort to eliminate poverty."
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton noted that there were a lot fewer people without health insurance when she first addressed the issue as first lady. In 1993, there were 39.7 million Americans without health insurance, according to the Census Bureau.
"It is an even deeper outrage today," she said.

JORDAN
U. S. Army Lt. Col. Steven J. Jordan, the former head of the interrogation center at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, leaves a military court after deliberations in his court-martial began Monday in Fort Mace, Md.
Lt. Col.acquitted in Abu Ghraib scandal
BY DAVID DISHNEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT MEADE, Md. — A military court acquitted an Army officer Tuesday of failing to control U.S. soldiers who abused detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, but it found him guilty of disobeying an order not to discuss the abuse investigation.
Lt. Col. Steven L. Jordan was the only officer and the last of 12 defendants to go to trial in the 2003 Abu Ghraib scandal, which embarrassed the Pentagon and shocked the Muslim world.
The allegations at the U.S.-run prison came to light with the release of pictures of U.S. soldiers smiling while detainees, some of them naked, were held on leashes or in painful and humiliating positions at the prison. Jordan, 51, never appeared in the inflammatory photos, but he was accused of fostering a climate conducive to abuse.
The jury of nine colonels and one brigadier general deliberated for about seven hours before issuing its verdicts Tuesday. It also deliberated on a sentence Tuesday but recessed and is scheduled to continue Wednesday.
Prosecutors recommended that Jordan be reprimanded and fined one month's pay, about $7,400. The defense asked the panel for no punishment.
The jury acquitted Jordan of three counts: cruelty and maltreatment for subjecting detainees to forced nudity and intimidation by dogs; dereliction of a duty to properly train and supervise soldiers in humane interrogation rules; and failing to obey a lawful general order by ordering dogs used for interrogations without higher approval.
The jury found him guilty of one: disobeying a general's order not to talk to others about the investigation into the abuse.
Jordan, a reservist from Fredericksburg, Va., stood at attention facing the jury as the panel president, a brigadier general, read the verdict.
He faces a maximum sentence of five years.
At an afternoon sentencing hearing, Jordan told the panel in a choked, halting voice that he respected its decision and took sole responsibility for his actions.
"I know when you receive an order, if clarification is needed, it is my job'to get the job done," he said.
Jordan said he had been living and working under a cloud since the investigation began $3\frac{1}{4}$ years ago.
"When I first saw photographs of the horrible abuses at Abu Ghraib, I was shocked and I was saddened. It did not represent the U.S. soldiers that I know and love," he said.
"After today, I hope the wounds of Abu Ghraib can start to heal."
Jordan said his ordeal had been difficult on his three children and had harmed him physically and emotionally.
During the sentencing, the defense called 13 witnesses who praised Jordan's dedication and leadership qualities. They included seven senior officers, five of them now retired, who worked with Jordan during his 28-year military career, and four lower-ranking soldiers who
*awarded with him at Abu Ghraib*
Attorneys for the government and the defense declined to comment.
Jordan was director of Abu Ghraib's interrogation center from mid-September untilmid-November 2003. He was also the senior officer inside a prison cell block on Nov. 24, 2003, during at least part of an episode that included a strip-search for smuggled weapons and a dog brought in to intimidate a detainee during questioning in his cell.
The four days of testimony in the case offered conflicting notions of command responsibility.
The prosecutor said in his closing argument Monday that Jordan wasn't court-martialed for what he did at Abu Ghraib, but for what he didn't do.
"He didn't train. He didn't supervise," Lt. Col. John P. Tracy told the military panel.
The defense countered that Jordan was outside the command chain and therefore not responsible for the military intelligence soldiers who interrogated detainees and the military police who guarded them.
"There is no evidence of a failure to train and supervise, no evidence of failure to ensure compliance," Maj. Kris Poppe said in his closing for the defense.
Jack Connor, Overland Park senior and student senator, initially voted against Barnes' appointment because of the misconduct conversations. Connor said he would consider both Barnes' recent work and last spring's election when he casted his vote tonight.

"I'll weigh them against whatever she's done," Connor said. "If she's done a good job, I will vote to reinstate her."

"When senators come on Wednesday night to approve me, they should look at all I've done this summer," Barnes said. "I'm the

MINERS
Men emerge after trapped six days
BY ANITA CHANG ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — The Meng brothers felt pretty good about their chances of making it out of the collapsed coal mine, until the sound of digging from outside stopped.
Meng Xianchen and Meng Xianyou finally clawed their way to the surface after nearly six days underground — a rare tale of survival in China's coal mines, the world's deadliest, where an average

"At the beginning, our cell phone still had power so there was a little bit of light. Two days later, the battery ran out so we could only feel with our fingers and listen," the brothers told the state-run Beijing News in a report published Tuesday.
Details of the veteriners' ordeal came as rescuers in northeastern China's Shandong province tried to reach 181 miners trapped in two flooded coal shafts. Officials said Tuesday they had not given

up hope even though the workers' chances of survival were dim after 11 days.
"At first we didn't feel hungry, but later on, we were so hungry we couldn't even crawl." Meng Xianchen said. "At the end, we were so hungry we ate coal and thought it tasted delicious."
The two even managed to crack jokes about their wives remarrying once they were dead after they emerged Friday from the illegal mine — which had no oxygen, ventilation or emergency exits — in Beijing's Fangshan district.
If those workers were found dead, it would be among the worst accidents of its kind in 58 years of communist rule, second
only to an explosion that killed 214 miners in 2005. The government has pledged to improve safety, but owners flout safety rules and illegal operations abound to fuel the country's growing energy needs.
Doctors have said the Mengs had kidney damage from lack of water but no other major injuries after being trapped for more than 130 hours. Beijing News ran a photo of the men dressed in hospital gowns, looking gaunt but standing and clasping each others' hand while surrounded by relatives.
CRIME
Senator denies fault despite plea
BY TODD DVORAK ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOISE, Idaho — A defiant Sen. Larry Craig denied any wrongdoing Tuesday despite his guilty plea this summer in a men's room police sting, emphatically adding, "I am not gay. I never have been gay."
Craig, a third-term senator from Idaho, proclaimed his innocence as well as his sexuality less than an hour after Senate leaders from his own Republican Party called for an ethics committee review of his case.
Craig, his wife, Suzanne, at his side, took no questions in a brief appearance in the capital city of the state he has represented in Congress
for more than two decades in the House and then the Senate.
"While I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct in the Minneapolis Airport or anywhere else, I chose to plead guilty to a lesser charge in hopes of making it go away." He said he kept the information from his friends, family and staff, adding, "I wasn't eager to share this failure but I should have anyway because I am not gay."
Craig, 62, had faced rumors about his sexuality since the 1980s, but allegations that he had engaged in gay sex had never been substantiated. He has denied the assertions.
gating allegations of sexual conduct in airport restrooms, went into a stall shortly after noon on June 11 and closed the door.
After a man in the adjacent stall left, Craig entered it and put his roller bag against the front of the stall door, "which Sgt. Karsnia's experience has indicated is used to attempt to conceal sexual conduct by blocking the view from the front of the stall", said the complaint. Craig then tapped his right foot several times and then moved it to where it touched Karsnia's foot.
Minutes later, the officer said he saw Craig gazing into his stall through the crack between the door and the frame.

THE LIBRARIAN YOUR PARENTS WARNED YOU ABOUT
Misconceptions of campus library employees abound Library work is short on reading and long on fielding complaints and inquiries
CASSIE GENTRY
Anun, while waving a two-foot crucifix over me, called me an immodest and sinful dresser. A strange man of questionable intentions and even more questionable body odor proposed marriage to me. A ten-year-old berated me for refusing to page his brother over the PA system and ask where his Playstation memory card was. A father insisted I harshly scold his five-year-old son for breaking the binding on a book to "teach him a lesson."
And yet, people constantly remark how easy it must be to work at the library. They envision the circulation desk staff sitting at expansive desks, flipping through literary journals or thick leather-bound novels and
pausing only to exchange intelligent conversation with academics who have decided to check out something along the lines of "War and Peace."
Not so much.
Maybe I do occasionally get the intelligent conversation. Much, much more often, though, I get complaints: about the limit on how many movies can be checked out, about late fees, about books that were most definitely, 100-percent-positive turned in at least a week ago, but are actually under the bed or car seat. There are others, who admittedly are just trying to make polite conversation, who say "witty" things like, "You should get paid by the book!" or "Wow, you're fast. You must have had some practice." Yes, it's clever. And yes, I have heard it thousands of times before.
Instead of calmly relaxing with a book, I am most likely scurrying around from one task to the next. I field phone calls regarding renewals or fine problems, frantically check in materials, get the books on carts ready to be shelved. I have to be polite
as people verbally berate me, and then run to stack check-ins as soon as they leave. It's physically and mentally exhausting. I realize that when you just read that it was "physically exhausting," you scoffed aloud. It's okay, I understand. I wouldn't believe it either. But try lifting giant stacks of books, endless stacks of heavy books, for hours at a time. It might not make me Arnold Schwarzenegger, but I do have a mildly developed bicep. Also add to that the fact that a majority of the desk staff is KU students. Not only are we all having to focus on patrons' problems, but we are also worrying about the homework that's currently not getting done or exams that are coming up.
Working at the library does have its fun moments, and I do love my job. But it falls into the category of those jobs that are demanding or tedious, yet look like fun from the outside. For example, I have a friend who works at a retail store. It seems the employee discount would be enough to make it a dream job to her and me, at first. Of course, actually working there is, as she puts it, "mind-numbing." Just
folding t-shirts for hours on end "like a mindless robot." People fixate on the benefits of jobs like that, and don't think about how much you have to schlep around to earn them. It only makes it worse when you're in the middle of your worst day, doing three things at once and contemplating quitting on the spot, and at that exact moment in time someone remarks how stress-free your job must be. Those comments take my bad day to a whole other level. It's then that fantasies of anvils falling from the sky, Wile E. Coyote-style, start to dance through my head.
We librarians—or rather merely library employees and/or peons—like it when you're chatty. We like those who read, and watch foreign films and yet occasionally enjoy a J Lo. movie without being embarrassed about it. We like when you have your books stacked with the barcodes facing up and your library card in hand. Oh, and a smile is always appreciated.

COMMENTARY
In defense of taking vacations
PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA
PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA
Never feel bad about doing absolutely nothing on your days off
I admit it.
I had an unproductive summer. When I talk to my friends they mention how they advanced their graduation by six credit hours, made a bundle during the summer, or how they snagged that great resume boosting internship. I got nothing of that. Instead I visited desert beaches, spent my nights in bars, my days in bed, and read Ivan Ilich and George Orwell.
And I don't regret it one bit.
Isn't that what summer vacation is all about? Engaging in leisurely activities, relaxing and sometimes just doing absolutely nothing? When was this spirit corrupted and summer became a few months to cram a bunch of things together and get them done? I cringe just imagining such a scenario.
Students taking summer classes justify it by saying that they will graduate quicker. They work harder now so they can start working in the real world sooner. What a horrible feeling it must be once you graduate, get a real job and realize that because of the great labor laws in this country you will probably never get a decent vacation again. Yes, if there is a time to enjoy summer it is now, before you sacrifice your body and your mind to the dreadful work ethic of western society.
When again will you have three months to do whatever you want? It's not a big deal if you take a little longer to graduate, increase in debt a few thousand dollars, or take longer to climb the job ladder; you can work that out. Now, ask someone who
has a steady job to get a threemonth vacation and see what that person says. It is virtually impossible to have a decent vacation once you start working in the United States. According to a recent study by the Center for Economic Policy Research, the United States is the only country in the industrialized world that doesn't require paid annual leave or paid public holidays. France on the other hand mandates employers to give at least 30 days of paid annual leave and one paid holiday.
Until this aberration is changed and the American government starts giving leisure the value it deserves, college students will need to take advantage of the time off they have. Instead of working all summer so they can pay for summer classes, students should abdicate both and do something less useful.
Because of the deficiencies of our education system, some students do have to work during the summer to afford their college education. However—and this is purely anecdotal evidence—I have found that generally not to be the case. Most students end up working more than they need to buy superfluous items like iPods, DVDs, video games and cable subscriptions. Instead of wasting your money with those, why not invest in time off?
We have the rest of our lives to be enslaved by work. In the end most of us will succumb and work harder and harder so that we can accumulate more and more stuff, and if we don't work as hard as we can, everything—the government, newspapers, our parents—will conspire to make us feel guilty. So, before we lose our innocence and convert to the 9-to-5 religion, why don't we take advantage of the little time we have and, whenever the opportunity presents itself, not do much.

Avoid impound, rack your bike
University adds racks to reduce congestion
BY DYLAN SANDS
dsands@kansan.com
Three University of Kansas departments plan to install more bicycle racks on campus next month. The departments are giving students the chance to make their suggestions as to where the racks are needed most.
The Center for Sustainability is working with Facilities Operations along with Design and Construction Management to design the new racks. Don Steeple, vice provost for scholarly support
"More people are conscious of the price at the pump and they're starting to ride bikes to school."
expressed the need for more racks to accommodate the rising number of bicycles and mopeds on campus.
Riat said. "For the most part, those locations largely coincide with the suggestions we've received from students.
"More people are conscious of the price at the pump and they're starting to ride bikes to school." Steeples said.
Christian Beer, Wunsiedel.
"There been a lot of interest in the new racks being placed around Budig Hall, Twente Hall, Blake Hall and Anschutz Library," Severin said.
Doug Riat, Director of Facilities and Operations, said new bicycle racks will probably be on campus by the end of September.
According to the Parking Department Web site, there are bicycle racks next to practically every building on campus. Some students, however, have stated more racks are needed at several locations, jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, is fielding requests from students.
"We have identified five or six places where we should be placing racks by the end of next month,"
Riat said those areas include buildings along Jayhawk Boulevard such as Lippincott Hall, Bailey Hall, Wesco Hall and Budig Hall.

said he thinks

racks.
"I see a lot of people just chaining their bikes anywhere because they can't find a rack," Beer said. "The art and history."
museums don't have any racks and you have to walk all the way from the rack at the Union."
Chaining bikes to light posts and other areas can prove costly for students. The University can remove or impound an improperly chained bicycle or other vehicle if it obstructs entry to a building, or is in the way of maintenance crews. The cost for retrieving a bicycle or moped from A&M Towing is $30.
Steeples said he did not know exactly how many bikes have been removed from campus. "I'm not sure if it's in the hundreds, but it's definitely more than a handful," he said. "We see bikes chained to trees and light posts and you know they wouldn't put them there if there were enough racks."
Students can e-mail Jeff Severin, jseverin@ku.edu, at the Center for Sustainability to make their suggestions.

Rider hazing charges dropped
BY TOM HESTER JR.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRENTON, N.J. — A judge on Tuesday dismissed charges against two Rider University officials in a case involving the drinking death of a fraternity pledge.
Superior Court Judge Maria Sypek approved a request by Mercer County Prosecutor Joseph Bocchini Jr. to dismiss the aggravated hazing counts against Dean of Students Anthony Campbell and Ada Badgley, the school's director of Greek life.
The two administrators and three Rider students were indicted on Aug. 3 in connection with the death of freshman Gary DeVercelly Jr., 18, of Long Beach, Calif.
However, prosecutors said they decided there wasn't enough evidence to take the officials to trial.
"We could not meet our burden of proof," Assistant Prosecutor Skylar Weissman said.
DeVercelly died March 30, a day after drinking at a party at the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity 01, the private college's campus. Authorities said he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.426 percent, more than five times New Jersey's legal limit for driving.
Badgley was unaware of the events that led to DeVercelley's death, said her attorney, David Laigae. "Ms. Badgley cannot be guilty of a crime for something that she did not participate in or have knowledge of," Laigae said.
Campbell's attorney, Rocco Ciparone Jr., welcomed Tuesday's decision as "the correct and only result."

Mangino needs to speak up, finish at top
RY MARK DENT
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
PAGE 1B
BY MARK DENT
KANSAN COLUMNIST
MDET.ENTKANSAN.COM
Time is running out for Mark Mangino to grab everyone's attention. It's three days before the season starts, and the Kansas football coach is missing an opportunity to get KU fans and followers of the Big 12 excited by refusing to call this year a breakout season.
This has to be a breakout season. After two straight years of earning bowl eligibility but finishing in the lower half of the conference, the program needs to take the next step and compete for the Big 12 North title.
The pieces are there. Junior cornerback Aqib Talib is a preseason-since-the-Big-12-Media-Days-in-July All-American. A leaner, wiser Todd Reeing looks ready to be the best KU quarterback since Bill Whittimore. Add the easiest schedule in the country according to ESPN to the mix, and a breakthrough almost seems like a give-in.
Instead, he's offered this and not much else about expectations:
Since the Big 12 Media Days in July, all Mangino needed to do was admit it. Just once. Say this team needs to win eight games. Who would it have hurt? The players wouldn't have keeled over because of added pressure. If anything, it would have given them more motivation. Fans would have loved it too. And think about the media. Kansas would have actually received some national or at least regional interest.
"I think just doing what we're doing — keep working at it," Mangino said earlier this month at a press conference. "We've had success against some Big 12 North teams but it needs to be consistent. It needs to be success home and away, and I think that one's one of the biggest things that will keep us in the hunt in the Big 12 North."
True, Mangino said Kansas could be "in the hunt." But he could've gone a step further and said that the Jayhawks would be underachieving if they didn't finish near the top of the conference. Then everyone would know the Jayhawks aren't some spineless, second-rate squad satisfied with the cellar like they were 10 years ago.
Reporter: Coach, how did Michael Bishop make the transition from community college to the Big 12 so easily?
Then again, this is Mangino. His lack of fiery words is not surprising, just disappointing. Mangino has been quiet since he took the job in 2002. That's what happens when you learn from Bill Snyder.
Snyder, the former Kansas State football coach whom Mangino worked for as an assistant, never heard a question he wouldn't respond to with a one-word answer. His postgame press conferences used to sound like this.
Reporter: What happened to Darren Sproles when he fumbled the ball in the fourth quarter?
Of course, the quiet route worked for Snyder. He won nine games by his fifth year and finished third in the Big 8. It's year six for Mangino, and his best is a seven-victory season. It's time for a change in philosophy. Sometimes a loud voice is needed to raise a program to a new level. Take Tennessee men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl for example.
Pearl is like a successful Howard Dean. He's loud and bold like the former presidential candidate, except he does it for a job where it's accepted. One time Pearl even went to a women's basketball game with his shirt off and chest painted. His fearless attitude has attracted fans to a sport that wasn't taken too seriously at Tennessee, his men's basketball program, and made the Volunteers a preseason favorite in the SEC this season.
Snyder: Yes.
Snyder: (Nods head)

Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur is setting his focus on refining his passing game as he enters his second college season.
Arthur ready to pass Forward focuses on improving passing
BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com
Listen to Darrell Arthur talk about his shot selection from last season, and you'll swear you're hearing the voice of Allen Iverson or any other NBA guard fixated on the flick of his own wrist.
Arthur, who's been back playing basketball for a week after recovering from a stress fracture, wants to improve his overall game by passing more.
"I was pretty selfish" said Arthur, a sophomore forward. "Every time I got the ball I shot it up."
This isn't the story of an injured basketball player who comes back realizing he might not have the game forever and must change his playing ways. No. Arthur knew before his stress fracture that he needed to change.
Kansas coach Bill Self told him that Arthur, who only had 14 assists all of last season, said they spoke about him passing the ball and slowing down the pace of his game after his freshman year ended. Experience with the USA Under-19 basketball team this summer made Arthur's decision to focus on passing even clearer.
As he practiced with the U-19 team
in early July to prepare for U-19 FIBA Championship, Arthur realized he couldn't shoot every time. Teammates such as Oregon's Tajuan Porter, Kansas State's Michael Beasley and Arkansas' Patrick Beverley wanted the ball too. Arthur decided to share it.
Arthur never got the chance to show his newly-discovered passing skills in action. A stress fracture formed in his leg when he tried out for the U-19 team in July. Arthur didn't feel

Freshman debuts in season opener
No pressure.
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
"I really don't know what to expect," Boyd-Anderson said. "Coming from Jacksonville, we played in front of packed crowds, but the stadium was nowhere near as big as this stadium. It's human to be a little bit nervous before your first game."
Kansas running back Carmon Boyd-Anderson hails from Jacksonville, Texas, population 14,402. When he takes the field Saturday, the Memorial Stadium crowd will number more than 40,000.
If the soft-spoken freshman is a bit
apprehensive about his performance in his first collegiate game, he may be the only one in the program who is worrying. Judging by Boyd-Anderson's inclusion as the third running back on the depth chart

BIG 12
Conference institutes background checks
BY THOR NYSTROM
tnystrom@kansan.com
At the Big 12 media day in San Antonio, coordinator of football officials Walt Anderson said background checks could be uncomfortable for officials.
The scandal of disgraced NBA referee Tim Donaghy created a ripple effect on the sports world that reached the Big 12. The conference announced plans this summer to increase background checks on football and basketball officials.
"But that's the nature of the game," he said. "You almost give up the Bill of Rights when you become an official. But it's a choice. You work in a fishbowl, a fishbowl that gets replaced every play."
The conference also runs random background checks on members of the replay booth and clock operators.
Anderson, also an NFL referee, said the conference had hired a company to monitor point spreads of games. The conference would be notified if there were any suspicious point spread movements that could indicate game fixing. The Big 12 evaluates the performance of its referees on every play of every game to monitor malfaessance.
Members of the Kansas Athletic Department agree with the increased scrutiny.
"I think it is a wise thing to do in this day and age," associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said. "I think that the recent developments speak for themselves and it's also a deterrent for anyone who would be tempted by any kind of impropriety."
Donaghy resigned from the NBA on July 9 after 13 years with the league.

COMMENTARY
RIMO MO 3
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jozy Altidore, center, will be counted on by U.S. soccer fans to become the great striker the Men's National Team needs. At only 17 years old, Altidore is the youngest player in the MLS and may soon compete in Europe.
Future seen in 17-year-old
Brian McBride's retirement from international soccer following a disappointing exit from 2006's World Cup left a gaping hole in the makeup of the U.S. National Team lineup.
Despite the development of an impressive array of midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers, the U.S. lacks the final piece that could propel the team to more than just glory in the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football Gold Cup. Last Wednesday's friendly with Sweden only made that need more obvious.
Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan, both midfielders, were partners at forward, forcing the midfield to shuffle to accommodate for their absence. Dempsey seemed comfortable as a target man. Donovan looks much better when given space to operate in the right midfield.

KANSAN COLUMNIST

SUNY STANFORD
The exception is New York Red Bulls 17-year-old forward Josmer Altidore, better known as lozy.
To field its most effective squad, the U.S. must find a solution to the team's lack of worldclass forwards. Nearly all the eligible candidates are either completely untested or clearly not the long term answer.
Altidore has scored eight goals and has distributed four assists in only 17 games in his first full season in Major League Soccer. Five of those appearances came as a substitute. His scoring record
Part of the U.S. success in the Gold Cup resulted from the wide play of Donovan and DaMarcus Beasley, who provided quality service from both sides while stretching defenses to create open space. With Donovan up front, Benny Felihaber, the hero of the Gold Cup final, was forced from central midfield to the right, splitting up a previously successful partnership between himself and defensive midfielder Michael Bradley.
looks even more impressive considering Altidore's stellar play in this summer's Under-20 World Cup. Scoring four goals in five games tied him for third-highest scorer in the tournament.
Altidore's combination of skill, size and speed has made him a hot commodity. He recently indicated that he would be open to a European move when he turns eighteen, if it represents the best situation for him.
In order to develop into a player who can help take the U.S. to international success, Altidore must gain experience playing against the best players in the world. Like it or not, MLS cannot provide the level of competition that domestic leagues in Europe can provide a young player like Altidore. In the long run, a move can only benefit Altidore's professional goals and future with the Men's National Team.
As Altidore said, the key is to move to a club and league that can maximize abilities. Altidore's offensive skill, relative youth and desire for first-team appearances make him likely to move to Holland or Portugal.
Though a reunion with fellow World Cup star Freddy Adu in Portugal sounds interesting. Holland is Altidore's best option at this point in his career. A move to SC Heerenveen, Bradley's club, of the Dutch Eredivisie, could be the best possible situation for Altidore.
Europe would also be eased by the presence of Bradley, a fellow American.
The Dutch league has a reputation for skillful attacking play, where Altidore could truly thrive, and the transition to life in
Additionally, the Eredivise has a reputation for producing top forwards like Johan Cruyff, Marco van Basten, Dennis Bergkamp, and Ruud van Nistelroy. Heerenveen's own Brazilian striker, Afonso Alves, led Holland in scoring last season with 34 goals.
Alves' success creates a potential opportunity for Altidore. As a modest club, Heerenveen resisted Alves' request to be sold to a larger club this summer. Chances are not good that he will be at the club after January's transfer window closes. The funds generated from the sale of Alves would certainly be more than enough to convince MLS to part with its most promising young star.
In any case, Altidore will undoubtedly be linked with a number of European clubs this winter. His future will come down to which club and league he believes represent the best fit for his abilities.
Regardless of where Altidore winds up, one thing is sure. He will be playing his club soccer in Europe sooner rather than later.
Altidore has shown enough to convince many that he can become the kind of attacker that can take U.S. soccer to new heights. Dempsey and Donovan may be effective options against North American opponents, but in order to beat European and South American powers the U.S. must find a world-class forward to maximize the team's potential.
Altidore's youth makes his future impossible to predict, but American soccer fans believe he may be the kind of player that helps the U.S. challenge soccer's traditional elites.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Sophomores get older, wiser Henrickson confident second-year players are set to shine
BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com
PREP TIME
With a successful trip to Australia under its belt and weeks left before Late Night in the Phog, the women's basketball team is keeping busy with strength training and a little time on the court with the coaching staff.
According to NCAA rules, players can spend only eight hours a week with coaches. Coach Bonnie Henrickson divides that time up for her team, giving them six hours in the weight room and two hours on the court.
Rules also state that in these early sessions there can be only four players on the court at a time, so Henrickson brings in groups of post players together and guards together.
Outside of their time with the coaches, all the players take time on their own to play pick up basketball games or work on shooting drills.
A DAUNTING TASK
Although pick-up games could result in unnecessary injury (see: Brandon Rush), Henrickson feels that it's necessary at this time of year to get in shape.
"The work they need to do is more important than the risk of injury. I'm more concerned with the fact that they don't play enough defense in pick-up games," Henrickson said.
The official schedule for the 2007- 08 season has been finalized and it includes 14 teams that participated in postseason play last season.
Ten NCAA qualifiers and four Women's NIT participants are slated to square off with the Jayhawks, starting with the regular season opener in Lawrence on Nov. 11 against WNIT qualifier Hartford.
To get through its difficult schedule, Kansas will rely heavily on the six sophomores who came in together last year and took their bumps and bruises as freshmen.
"It was a baptism by fire, but everybody lived to tell about it. In the long run it's going to be really good for them, which in turn is really good for us," Hendrickson said.
The players she's referring
The players to are Sade Morris, Danielle McCray, Porscha Weddington, Kelly Kohn, Rebecca Feickert and LaChelda Jacobs.
Last season Henrickson
played three or four of her freshmen on the court at one time, which forced the youngsters to learn on their feet.
"Heading into this year, I'm cautiously optimistic that all of that work and all of those experiences
Morris
will help these kids be better their somhomore year" Henrickson said.
The coach has her eyes on a few sophomores in particular: McCray, Weddington and Morris.
Morris and Weddington impressed the coaching staff with their effort since the end of the '06- 07 year.
McCray led the squad with 21 points per game in Australia, working exclusively on the perimeter. Last year, McCray spent most of her time in the post, and Henrickson wanted her to improve her outside game.
"Sade Morris has a chance for a breakout year. Porscha Weddington had a great summer and spring. Those two, to me, were the two brightest spots." Henrickson said.
GOING ABROAD
Former Kansas standout guard Shaquina 'Shaq' Mosley, who used up her eligibility last season, could be traveling overseas after this semester.
Mosley is taking two classes at Kansas this semester to graduate, and the coaches are currently helping her find a spot overseas on a professional team.
"We feel like she's talented enough to play overseas," Henrickson said. "We've just got to find the right situation for her."

attract more fans and media. He probably shouldn't do that. Mangino shouldn't change too much. The football team has competed better under Mangino than it has in years. He's defeated Kansas State twice and owned Missouri. Students care more about football than in years past. All that is great, but Kansas needs to prove it can compete with the best teams in the Big 12.
The first step is letting everyone know that. Mangino has missed his chance to bring more attention so far, but the season doesn't start until Saturday. The really important games don't start for a month. He still has time speak up. Let the rest of the conference know Kansas is ready to break out. It could only help.

out of the spotlight until the preseason when Mangino praised his strong work ethic and willingness to learn. Each week of the preseason Mangino's take on Boyd-Anderson's progress grew more optimistic until the freshman made the official depth chart last week.
"He has good acceleration and really good vision. He can cut and make people miss – he can burst," Mangino said. "So far he has shown that he should be on the depth chart and he'll have opportunities to play."
It is rare for a true freshman to see any playing time, let alone a good chunk of his team's offensive workload. Last season, sophomore Jake Sharp ran the ball 21 times as a true freshman. Boyd-Anderson could easily eclipse that total this season. Boyd-Anderson will share carries with Sharp and senior Brandon McAnderson, but the three backs will not be in direct competition – each brings a distinct style to the table.
McAnderson fits the bill of a short-yardage bruiser, although Mangino hints at using him as the team's feature back at times. Sharp is the quintessential scatback: quick, shifty and perhaps a bit small to shoulder 20 carries per game. Boyd-Anderson could provide a happy medium for Kansas.
"I think I'm more of a between-the-tackles runner," Boyd-Anderson said. "But also I can stretch the defense. I guess I'm balanced."
Though Boyd-Anderson is reserved and reluctant to bill himself
as anything more than just another player, his teammates have plenty to say about his abilities. When asked about the young running back, Kansas players put together long lists of positive attributes.
"He doesn't run like he's never ran in this offense before. He's confident in his ability and he has a little bit of speed - a little bit of wiggle." McAnderson said. "He can finish runs, too, because he's 200 pounds. I think he's a really good back."
"The main thing for him so far has been learning the offense and the fundamentals of becoming not just a great runner, like a lot of kids are in high school, but becoming a complete running back," sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said. "He's taken it upon himself to learn and grow as a player and because of that he'll have a chance to make some plays this year. I definitely think he can help us out."
Boyd-Anderson said he came to Kansas expecting to play as a true freshman. Leading up to Saturday's season opener, his expectations will almost certainly come to fruition.
"I don't know where I fit into this equation yet, I'm just happy to be able to dress out for my first game because most people don't get that opportunity," Boyd-Anderson said. "Hopefully I might get a snap, but if not it'll just be good to be in front of the crowd. It'll be a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Willams sisters inspired by tribute
Serena Williams celebrates a victory over Angela Kerber in the first round of the U.S. Open. She and her older sister Venus narrated a tribute to Althea Gibson, who was the first African-American player to win the tournament. Williams was the second American-American to win in 1999.
BY HOWARD FENDRICH ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Venus and Serena Williams carry Althea Gibson's legacy forward every time they step on a court, every time they hoist a Grand Slam trophy.
Simple as that, they did.
So on a night set aside to honor the 50th anniversary of the first U.S. National Championship title for a black tennis player, the Williams sisters figured the best way to celebrate Gibson was to win.
Venus Williams beat Kira Nagy of Hungary 6-2, 6-1 in the first round of the U.S. Open on Monday — and hit a Grand Slam-record 129 mph serve in the process. Serena Williams topped out at 126 mph and had only slightly more trouble getting past Angelique Kerber of Germany 6-3, 7-5 before a tournament-crowd record of 23,737.
"I have all the opportunities today because of people like Althea," Venus Williams said. "Just trying to follow in her footsteps."
The siblings narrated a video that opened the tribute to Gibson, who was the first black man or woman to enter (in 1950) and to win (in 1957) Wimbledon and the tournament that's now called the U.S. Open.
"I know every time I step out on the court, I play for me and I play for all the other little African-American kids out there who have a dream and who might not have the means, like myself and my sisters didn't growing up." Serena Williams said.
"It's important to have nights like this," she added, "so you can teach vounge people."
Aretha Franklin sang, actress Phylicia Rashad emceed, and Rachel Robinson — baseball barrier-breaker Jackie Robinson's widow — was in the audience Monday as the late Gibson was inducted into the U.S. Open Court of Champions.
"It was definitely a tough act to follow. ... It was really moving," said Venus Williams, limited by wrist and knee problems to only one tournament since winning Wimbledon in early July.
"it's like, 'OK. Williams can't lose tonight. That's not part of the plan. It's supposed to be an all-American win tonight.' I was definitely thinking that."
She built a 24-6 edge in winners and was never threatened. Serena Williams, playing for the first time since hurting her left thumb at Wimbledon, scattered 26 unforced
errors and got broken the first time she served for the match.
"I didn't play well at all," the younger Williams said. "At all."
She also had a bit of a wardrobe malformation, ripping off a pink bow from the front of her black dress while seated in a sideline chair. Venus Williams, meanwhile, showed off her new low-priced clothing line with a green pleated halter dress.
It actually was a pretty good day for Americans, including Ahsha Rolle, a 22-year-old playing in her third Grand Slam match. She surprised No. 17-seeded Tatiana Golovin of France 6-4, 1-6, 6-2, also under the lights.
"I was watching a little bit of
the tribute. I thought that of all the nights, I've got to do it tonight," Rolle said. "I wasn't scared, I wasn't nervous. I was ready to bring it."
So was John Isner. Nothing about him is subtle. Everything about him is super-sized, from his 6-foot-9 frame to his 140 mph serves.
Add in large expectations, too,
which will only increase now that
Isner played the very first Grand
Slam match of his nascent career
Monday and won it. Fresh out of
college, Isner smacked 34 aces
to knock off 26th-seeded Jarkko
Nieminen of Finland 6-7 (4), 7-6
(4), 7-6 (5), 6-4.
"It's a huge step for me," said the 22-year-old Inser, who led Georgia
to the NCAA tennis title. "To be able to beat a guy like that means a lot, says a lot: No matter who I'm playing, seeded or not ... I feel like I can go out there and compete."
Joining him in the second round was another young American who needed a wild card to get into the year's last major tournament: Donald Young, the Wimbledon junior champion, who recently snapped an 0-for-11 drought in tour-level matches.
Young remembered writing a biography about Gibson when he was in sixth grade, which actually wasn't all that long ago. He turned 18 just last month.

Receiver spots up for grabs
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
LONG SNAPPER
Coach Mark Mangino announced Tuesday that sophomore long snapper Kayl Anderson and junior guard Adrian Mayes had earned scholarships. Anderson played all 12 games as the team's long snapper last season. Mayes has only played in one game at Kansas but is slated to start at left guard this season.
WIDE RECEIVERS
The picture at wide receiver may not be as clear-cut as the depth chart indicates. Junior Raymond Brown is currently listed as a starter, but Mangino said he needed to work on his consistency. Kansas has several viable options behind Brown, including junior Marcus Herford and true freshman Dezmon Briscoe. Herford has 15 career receptions and Briscoe could contribute immediately. Mangino said sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton was the team's top option
at punct returner because of his sure hands.
NON-CONFERENCE
SHEDULE
At a press conference held Tuesday, Mangino openly challenged the notion that Kansas' nonconference schedule was easy. He said media did not give teams like Central Michigan enough credit and that there were no "gimmes" on the 2007 schedule.

Homers, doubles win it for Royals
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Needing a win to keep pace in the AL Central, the Detroit Tigers ran into a familiar nemesis: the Kansas City Royals.
Brian Bannister won for the sixth time in seven decisions, Alex Gordon hit a three-run double and the Royals beat the Tigers 6-3 Tuesday night.
Detroit dropped $3 \frac{1}{2}$ games behind division-leading Cleveland, the Tigers' biggest deficit in their division since before play on June 6. The lowly Royals are 5-8 against Detroit this season after taking three in a row from the Tigers on the final weekend of last season — costing Detroit first place and forcing the Tigers into the wildcard berth.
Most of Detroit's difficulties against Kansas City have been at Comerica Park: The Tigers had been 14-1 at Kauffman Stadium since the start of the 2006 season but have lost seven of their last 10 against Kansas City at home.
Nate Robertson (7-11) gave up six runs, six hits and four walks in 4 1-3 innings, his shortest outing since June 5. Robertson is 1-5 in his past eight starts.
Magglio Ordonez went 4-for-5 and is hitting .404 in August. Detroit stranded 13 runners, including 10 when Bannister was pitching.
Bannister (11-7) leads AL rookies with a 3.27 ERA and his victories are the most by a Royals rookie starter since Kevin Appier
won 12 games in 1990. Bannister gave up two runs and 11 hits in six innings, striking out five and walking one. He is 6-1 with a 2.31 ERA in his past eight starts.
After a 10-pitch walk by John Buck loaded the bases with two outs in the fourth, Gordon put the Royals ahead 3-0 with his double.
Curtis Granderson hit an RBI double in the fifth, when the Ivan Rodriguez hit into an inning-ending forceout with the bases loaded.
Billy Butler hit a two-run homer in the bottom half following Mark Grudzielanek's RBI single for a 6-1 lead.
Placido Polanco, who had three hits, singled home Sean Casey in the sixth. Carlos Guillen had a sacrifice fly in the ninth.

Cardinals shut out Astros in manager's MLB debut
HOUSTON — So much for Cecil Cooper's managerial debut with the Houston Astros.
Chris Duncan shook off an August slump with a three-run homer and an RBI single to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Astros 7-0 on Tuesday night, ruining Cooper's first game as Phil Garner's successor.
Garner was fired on Monday and replaced by Cooper after Houston limped to a 58-73 record. But the Astros were still plagued by mediocre pitching and feeble hitting.

Graham Harrell may lead the conference in passing yards this season. The sophomore is the first quarterback to start more than one season in five years.
Tech's line necessary for wins
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach loves pirates. While other Big 12 coaches were tinkering with their offenses this off-season, Leach was reading books about pirates.
He certainly had no reason to change anything offensively. It's been six years since the Red Raiders have thrown for less than 4,000 yards in a season. With the help of an experienced quarterback, Leach's team will search for gold: a first-ever trip to the Big 12 Championship.
OFFENSE
The Red Raiders have led the nation in passing yards for four of the last five years. The unsung heroes of this accomplishment were the offensive linemen.
No quarterback throws for 400 yards a game without adequate protection. And for the first time, the offensive line is a question mark this season.
Junior tackle Louis Vazquez is the only returning starter on the line. Although he is one of the best in the conference, the line will allow a significantly higher number of sacks than in the past.
Junior Graham Harrel should still easily lead the conference in passing yards because he is the first Texas
Tech quarterback in five years that will start for more than one season.
Junior running back Shannon Woods is a key component to the offense because he can both run and catch the ball. Woods averaged more than 130 all-purpose yards per game last year.
The Red Raiders lose their top two receivers but are obviously deep in that area. Senior Danny Amendola should transition from the third or fourth option to the number one receiver smoothly.
DEFENSE
Texas Tech not only throws the ball well, but stops the other team from throwing the ball well. The Red Raiders were second in the Big 12 against the past last season.
They return three of their four starters in the defensive backfield in 2007. Senior Joe Garcia and junior Darcel McBath make up one of the conference's best duos at the safety positions. Garcia lays punishing hits on opponents and McBath utilizes his speed to break up passes.
Texas Tech must be phenomenal against the pass this year to make up for its shortcomings against the run. Only two of the starting-front seven return from last year. Junior defensive end Jake Ratliff earned Big 12 honorable mention accolades last year and must tutor the front

YARN BARN
The Red Raiders are going to score enough points. The only question is how well they can play on the other side of the ball. The defense had been steadily improving in Lubbock, Texas. But 2007 may put a halt to that progression. Texas Tech's nonconference schedule is devoid of any challenges. The Raiders play SMU, Rice, UTEP and Northwestern State. The Big 12 North opponents are easy, too, because the Red Raiders will host both Colorado and Iowa State. Things get a little tougher in November when their schedule concludes with consecutive games against Texas and Oklahoma.

Sinks said he was "absolutely" planning to file a countertsuit to recoup legal fees if the lawsuit is thrown out. The owner said he already has doled out more than $130,000 fighting the case.

Group makes plans for autism center
Center could provide research, training
A new research facility dedicated to studying autism is in development for the University of Kansas. A team of clinicians and scientists from the Lawrence and KU Medical Center campuses are working to create the research facility.
The permanent autism research center would be a collaboration between the two campuses. Members of the Work Group on Autism and Research hope that the new center will attract more funding for autism research and possibly construct a new building to house the center in the future.

Do You Know KU?
BY MEGAN MILLS
Slavery shaped not only the history of our nation, but the history of the University of Kansasas well. During the mid-19th century, residents of present-day Kansas wanted a public university in the area but were caught in the turmoil of slavery and the Civil War.
Before Kansas received its statehood, residents proposed building a public university and debated on its location. People from both sides of the slavery controversy supported a university in the region, but the conflict prevented its establishment.
The slavery issue quickly led to violence in the area, giving the future state its nickname, "Bleeding Kansas."
Lawrence didn't escape the bloodshed, either. On the morning of Aug. 21, 1863, several months after the abolitionist city earned permission to construct the University, confederate William Clarke Quantrill and his men, Quantrill's Raiders, descended from Mount Oread and raided the entire city. Quantrill's group of almost 400 guerilla burned down all but two businesses and killed more than 150 men and boys in the attack. Still considered one of the most vicious events of the Civil War, the raid on Lawrence sparked more hostility in the region, and the resulting lack of funds slowed the University's construction. After a few more years of struggle and discussion, the city finally opened the University's doors in September 1866.

Barnes re-elected despite voting dispute
BY ERIN SOMMER

Senate's first full meeting of the academic year despite a dispute about the accuracy of the vote.

College of Liberal

Barnes
senator, said she was excited be reafirmed to the position. The position serves as a lobbying effort to protect the interests of KU students in the city of Lawrence.
Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, presented Barnes for approval last spring, but the appointment was denied because of speculation that Barnes forged signatures on the petition to apply for the position.
"If you find inaccurate votes, there's no point in Senate being here," Morgenstern.
Eventually, Love was able to approve Barnes on an interim basis for the summer. Last night's vote approved Barnes to continue her job through the academic year.
The number of votes for Barnes' approval exceeded the two-thirds vote required for Senate appointments, but a dispute about vote totals caused a delay in the appointment's passage. Jarrod Morgestern, Overland Park senior and School of Journalism senator, said that the votes were counted inaccurately. He said he found two votes that he knew where marked wrong when a roll call was taken to count the votes.
Morgenstern said he also was concerned by a large number of senators left immediately after Barnes approval.
"it's embarrassing how many senators left after one vote," Morgenstern said.
Senate took a 10-minute recess to review the parliamentary procedure when a vote was counted inaccurately. After the recess, the Senate decided that the original vote would stand.
Before her reappointment was voted on, Barnes presented information about what she did as interim Community Affairs Director. She said she attended city commission meetings, worked to register University students to vote and planned Civic Engagement Week.
She also fielded questions from student senators regarding her interaction with the city commission and financial decisions she made during the summer.
Love and Ray Wittlinger, Olathe
senior and student body vice president, both defended Barnes' reappointment. Love and Wittlinger also presented what Barnes had done throughout the summer.
"She really is a part of this community. It's not just a job for her, it's a lifestyle," Love said. "She's so much a part of the community; this is the perfect job for her."
Morgenternst voted against Barnes' approval. He said he didn't think she had performed her job to the best of her abilities. When she spoke before Senate, Barnes said she had missed two of this summer's eight city commission meetings and left early from another.
After the vote, Love said that she was relieved Barnes' approval was passed.
"The way the questions·were coming in, I was surprised," Love said. "I'm really excited about it."

》 ABU GHRAIB
Military jury spares Lt. Jordan prison time
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT MEADE, Md. — A military jury recommended a reprimand Wednesday for the only officer court-martialed in the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal, sparing him any prison time for disobeying an order to keep silent about the abuse investigation.
The jury had acquitted Army Lt. Col. Steven L. Jordan a day earlier of all three charges directly related to the mistreatment of detainees at the U.S.-run prison in Iraq.
Those acquittals absolved Jordan, 51, of responsibility for the actions of 11 lower-ranking soldiers who have already been convicted for their roles at Abu Ghraib. The allegations surfaced after the release of photographs showing U.S. soldiers grinning alongside naked detainees
held in humiliating positions at the prison.
Jordan was convicted of a single charge: disobeying a general's order not to discuss the abuse investigation. The defense conceded that Jordan e-mailed a number of soldiers about the investigation after meeting with Maj. Gen. George Fay in spring 2004.
Jordan could have been sentenced to up to five years in prison, though prosecutors had recommended a reprimand and a fine of one month's pay, about $7,400.
The reprimand was the lightest sentence the jury could have recommended.
Major Kris Poppe, Jordan's attorney, said Jordan would remain on active duty with the Intelligence and Security Command at Fort Belvoir, Va., through February, then consider
retiring from a military career spanning 28 years.
Jordan, a reservist from Fredericksburg, Va., never appeared in any of the inflammatory photos, but as director of the prison's interrogation center, he had been accused of fostering a climate conducive to abuse.
a military police reservist from Buckingham, Va., who is serving an eight-year sentence. A number of officers senior to Jordan were reprimanded administratively — but not convicted of crimes — for their roles at Abu Ghraib.
The jury found Jordan not guilty of the three abuse-related charges: cruelty and maltreatment for subjecting detainees to forced nudity and intimidation by dogs; dereliction of a duty to properly train and supervise soldiers in humane interrogation rules; and failing to obey a lawful general order by ordering dogs used for interrogations without higher approval.
"None of the cases brought to date has given the systemic accounting the nation needs of what happened, why and how far up the chain of command responsibility lies," Shamsi said.
Those acquittals suggested that criminality went no higher than former Staff Sgt. Ivan L. Frederick,
Jordan was the last of 12 defendants to go to trial. Of the 11 enlisted soldiers convicted of crimes, the longest sentence, 10 years, was given to former Cpl. Charles Gruner Jr., of Uniontown, Pa., in January 2005. Lynndie England, the most recognizable face from the Abu Ghraib photos, was sentenced to three years.

Peace Corps series on the lunch menu

said. "But now I'm sure that I do."
"They are happy with what they have, they don't need all the material things."
Chris Wright, Topeka junior, said he was not sure about joining the Peace Corps, but it was an interesting option. He said the lecture was very informa-
Patrick, a Spanish major, said she would like to go anywhere in Latin America and volunteer in education or youth development.
Sutter, the University of Kansas Peace Corpsrepresentative, said her mom told her about the Peace Corps when she was young and that was when she decided she would eventually join. Sutter volunteered for the Peace Corps two years after graduating from the University of Oregon.
Sutter served in Burkina Faso, West Africa, from 2003 to 2005. She said living with the nationals helped her to understand the culture of Burkinabe life.
"It's so different from what we experience," Sutter said. "It's not even possible to sum it up."
CHRIS WRIGHT Topeka junior
Elizabeth Patrick, Lenexa senior, said she attended the lecture to learn more about the Peace Corps.
"Before this, I thought I wanted to do the Peace Corps," Patrick
tive and that it opened his mind to life in developing countries.
"Here we have very busy lives and over there it's very simple." Wright said. "They are happy with what they have, they
don't need all the material things."
Sutter said she started her position at the University two weeks ago. This was her first time running the monthly series. She said she would like to bring in other returning Peace Corps volunteers in the coming months. She said the series was not just about the Peace Corps, but also about the countries where the volunteers serve.
The next scheduled lecture will be Sept. 26 at the Kansas Union and will feature a volunteer who worked with the Peace Corps in Guyana, South Africa.

MEDICAL RESEARCH
University to open new autism center
BY DYLAN SANDS
dsands@kansan.com
A permanent autism research center at the University of Kansas is in the works, and more than 20 researchers and faculty are collaborating to develop it.
"We lack a synergetic effort to address the rapidly growing number of children identified with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The need is quite urgent," said Debra Kamps, an autism researcher at the University's Juniper Garden Children's Project in Kansas City, Kan.
Autism is more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined, Kamps said. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that one in 150 children have the disorder.
The Life Span Institute at the University has created the Work Group on Autism Research and Training to organize the new research center.
Kamps will be the chairwoman of the group, which aims to combine faculty from the University and from the University of Kansas Medical Center to increase funding for research and training.
"Currently there are several grants funded, but limited collaboration across campuses and departments," Kamps said.
The group will expand during the next few weeks to include parents of autistic children in an advisory committee.
A grant will finance the group for one year to explore the creation of the Kansas Center for Autism Research and Training, or K-CART. K-CART would increase training activities for people with autism, as well as for the parents, special education, specialists and teachers who work with autistic children.
Plans for the center do not include construction of a new building, but that could change.
"A possible permanent autism center might not be a bricks and mortar place at first," said Karen Henry, assistant director of the KU Bureau of Child Research. "Our centers are often virtual for quite
some time until space and funds are secured."
Henry said the group's activities would take place in existing University and Med Center space, with potential outreach to University satellite locations.
Meredith Poore, Topeka graduate student and a graduate research assistant for the Bureau of Child Research, works with autistic children. She said the center would make a great addition to the University.
"There has been great progress in assessment and intervention for autism, but there's also a large amount of misinformation out there." Poore said.
Poore said that many parents of autistic children are confused about
what's best for their child.
"I think KU recognizes this, and as a top research university, understands the need for creating a center which brings numerous top-notch scientists and autism specialists together to address the need for solid research on a disorder that affects so many people." she said.
The group will present itself and its plans in a discussion entitled "Considering Autism: KU Life Span Institute Community Conversations" at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 25 in Regnier Hall at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park.

Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig, left, reads a statement to the media Monday next to his wife, Suzanne. Craig pleaded guilty earlier this month to disorderly follow following an undercover police operation in a Minnesota airport men's room.

Craig "represents the Republican Party," said Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Michigan, the first in a steadily lengthening list of GOP members of Congress to urge a resignation.
WASHINGTON — Idaho Sen. Larry Craig's political support eroded by the hour on Wednesday as fellow Republicans in Congress called for him to resign and party leaders pushed him unceremoniously from senior committee posts.
The senator's spokesman declined to comment. "They have a right to express themselves," said Sidney Smith. He said he had heard no discussion of a possible resignation.
The White House expressed disappointment, too — and nary a word of support for the 62-year-old lawmaker, who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct earlier this month. The charge stemmed from an undercover police operation in a Minneapolis airport men's room.
Craig said Tuesday that he had committed no wrongdoing and shouldn't have pleaded guilty. He said he had only recently retained a lawyer to advise him in the case that threatens to write an ignominious end to a lifetime in public office.

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said, "We are disappointed in the matter," without specifying exactly what was causing the discomfort.
For a second consecutive day, GOP Senate leaders stepped in, issuing a statement that said Craig had "agreed to comply with leadership's request" to temporarily give up his posts on important committees. He has been the top Republican on the Veterans Affairs Committee as well as on subcommittees for two other panels.
Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Norm Coleman of Minnesota joined Hoekstra in urging Craig to step down, as did Rep. Jeff Miller of Florida — and others who joined them as the day wore on.
Coleman said in a written statement, "Senator Craig pleaded guilty to a crime involving conduct unbecoming of a senator."
"This is not a decision we take lightly, but we believe this is in the best interest of the Senate until this situation is resolved by the ethics committee," said the statement, issued in the name of Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the party leader, and others.
McCain spoke out in an interview with CNN. "My opinion is that when you plead guilty to a crime, you shouldn't serve. That's not a moral stand. That's not a holier-than-thou. It's just a factual situation."
"There was supposed to be all this money, but whered it go?" said Russ, whose house was the only restored home on an otherwise desolate block. "None of us got any."
On Tuesday, the leaders jumped in ahead of Craig's appearance before television cameras in Idaho to announce they had asked the ethics committee to look into the case.
He said he hoped the ethics committee would do its work swiftly.
Clarence Russ, 64, took a dim view of politicians' promises as he tried to put the finishing touches on his repaired home in the city's devastated Lower Ninth Ward.

NEW ORLEANS — Prayers, protests and a lingering disgust with the government's response to Hurricane Katrina marked the disaster's second anniversary Wednesday, with a presidential visit doing little to nullify those still displaced by the event.
Churches throughout the region, including historic St. Louis Cathedral in the French Quarter, held services in honor of those who lost their lives in the disaster.
Not far away, President Bush visited a school.
New Orleans residents still angry about Katrina aid
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"We're still paying attention," Bush said before heading to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, also devastated by Katrina. "We understand."
But Gina Martin, who is still living in Houston after Katrina destroyed her New Orleans home, was not convinced.
"We ring the bells for a city that is in recovery, that is struggling, that is performing miracles on a daily basis," said Mayor Ray Nagin, who famously cursed the federal response in a radio interview days after the hurricane.
"Bush was down here again making more promises he isn't going to keep," Martin said. "The government has failed all of us. It's got to stop."
Martin was among an estimated 1,000 people taking part in a protest march that started in the Lower Ninth Ward. It was a uniquely New Orleans-style protest: There were signs accusing the Bush administration of murder and angry chants about the failure of government. But marchers also danced in the street to music from two brass bands.
Bells pealed amid prayers, songs and tears at the ground breaking for a planned Katrina memorial at a New Orleans cemetery.

>> ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Unlicensed T-shirt dispute continues
Athletics Department, Joe-College.com schedule meeting for next month
BY THOR NYSTROM
tnystrom@kansan.com
Round two in the ongoing fight between the Athletics Department and a local T-shirt vendor is scheduled for Sept. 28. The mediation is expected to be a brief but tense prelude to an inevitable trial.
"I am not going to budge from where I am at," Sinks said. "I am in too deep. I have spent too much money fighting it. I didn't realize it would cost that much, but to me it is a matter of right and wrong."
The session is designed to pursue an out-of-court settlement or alternative. But Larry Sinks, owner of Joe-College.com, said he planned to take the lawsuit to court.
The University cited trademark infringement in the early-March lawsuit.
Sinks claimed that Lew Perkins told members of the community his intention was to shut down Joe-College. Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony denied the claim.
"Personally I think that guy (Perkins) should be fired over this," Sinks said. "I just think it's time for him to go. He doesn't have any compassion toward anybody. All he does is drive around town in his brand
new red Corvette all day. He doesn't care that it is wrecking my life or my wife's life or my kids' lives. I've seen him since. He says hello with a smirk. He's too good to come to common civility."
Sinks said he attempted to reason with Perkins during a chance golf partnering at the Lawrence Country Club this summer. Sinks said he was rebuffed.
Sinks said the issue was entirely about money.
"Of course I think it's about the money," Sinks said. "Everything else about Lew is about the money."
Marchiony said the Athletic Department's policy was to aggressively protect the marks of the University.
"A large percentage of the revenue that is generated from the sale of licensed products goes to student scholarships on campus." Marchiony said. "Every purchase of an unlicensed shirt is money that is not going to student scholarships. We feel very strongly about that."
The University has objections beyond monetary compensation and trademark infringement. T-shirts stating 'Our Coach can eat Your Coach', 'Muck Fizzou,' and 'Kansas Swim Team,' featuring sperm cells
were specifically mentioned in the lawsuit. Marchiony said the messages were in poor taste and cast a bad light on the school.
Signs in the Joe College store make it clear they have no affiliation with the school. One reads: "Warning: If you want to buy licensed Univ. of Kansas merchandise, please shop somewhere else!!" Another says: "These shirts are not licensed by anyone or anybody!! If you do not understand this, please do not purchase anything in this store."
Shirts in the store have the words Hawk' and 'Kansas' on them, both of which are not marks protected by the University.
"You will not find the word Jayhawk or the phrase Kansas University on any product in this store," manager Erin Adams said.
Sinks said Perkins was unfairly using taxpayers' money to attack his store.
"It would be different if it was his money, but it isn't," Sinks said "It's the University of Kansas' money and state of Kansas' money. If everybody knew the money he was taking away from scholarships with this lawsuit, there would be outrage. It's ridiculous. They hired this high-powered law firm in Atlanta to come after us, and I guarantee they have spent
three times what I have."
Sinks said he has spent in excess of $130,000 on lawyers, expert witnesses and surveys.
- Marchiony denied the claim that the lawsuit was taking money from scholarships.
"That claim doesn't make sense," Marchiony said. "Kansas Athletics receives a miniscule amount of its budget from tax dollars and basically what he is doing, by saying that, it is a ploy to deflect attention away from what he is doing."
Marchiony said scholarship money actually comes from revenue that is gained from the sale of licensed products, which Sinks is taking from by selling unlicensed shirts.
Sinks said he hears support every day from Lawrence citizens.
"Right now, the thing is making me go broke," Sinks said. "It's an ugly deal. We are struggling very badly in trying to afford the lawsuit. But what do you do? This is how I make my living."
Sinks said he would "absolutely" file a counter suit to recoup legal fees if the lawsuit was thrown out.
The trial is scheduled for mid- January 2008.

HUTCHINSON — An unknown telephone caller making bomb threats to a Dillons grocery store kept more than 100 people hostage, demanding they disrobe and that the store wire money to his bank account.
Police safely led the 46 employees and 64 customers, some of whom had taken off their clothes, out of that store Tuesday after about 90 minutes. Threatening calls also were made to a second Dillons store that same day in Hutchinson, which was evacuated without incident.
On Wednesday, three similar calls came in to Dillons stores and one to a Wal-Mart, said police Lt. Steven Nelson. Police still are unsure if Wednesday's incidents were linked or copycat crimes.

Dillons grocery store employee stand in the parking lot after a bomb threat Wednesday in Hutchinson. An unknown telephone caller made the bomb threats to the store and kept more than 100 people hostage, demanding that they undress and that the store money we rent to his bank account
No one was injured and no money was paid, police said.
In Newport, R.I., on Tuesday a bomb threat caused the evacuation of a Wal-Mart and led employees to wire $10,000 to the caller. FBI spokesman Rich Kolko said the incident appeared related to a plot in recent days targeting banks and stores near Phoenix, Detroit, Salt Lake City and Philadelphia.
"If they can access the Internet, they can get to anything," said Hutchinson police Chief Dick Heitschmidt. "Anyone in the whole world could have access, if that's what really happened."
The caller to the Hutchinson store where more than 100 people were held for 90 minutes appeared to have visual access to the store. Law enforcement officials were investigating whether the caller was out of state and may have hacked into the store's security system.
Kolko said Wednesday that the bureau was looking into whether the calls were being placed from overseas and was compiling reports from local police departments to look for similarities between the cases.
The caller demanded the female hostages take off their clothes and after 20 minutes made a similar demand of the males.
Jim Peterson, one of the hostages,
said some compiled out of fear.
"A lot of women were really embarrassed being exposed," said Walter Merian, another hostage. "It
already was scary enough without adding the embarrassment."
The manager pleaded with the caller not to harm anyone in the store, Peterson said.
"He was just beside himself," Peterson said. "Everyone was really scared. We didn't know if there was a bomb."
Dillons spokeswoman Sheila Lowrie said the company brought counselors to the scene.
"We're sorry the employees and the customers had to go through this." Lowrie said.
No bomb was found.

love it, but that is not the case," Muggy said. "These books have no buyback value, and the students are having to pay more for brand new books."
Hierl said the additional content helped students perform better in the courses. However, these extra materials, including a bound notebook of the lecture notes, do have added costs
"It isn't going to be free, but nothing else you have to buy is either if you have to buy paper and ink to print these notes off at home," Hierl said. "A publishing company can do the whole thing at a fraction of the cost, and students will have it at day one"

Jared Gorman, a student in Hierl's "Foundations of Chemistry I" course, said he thought having the notebook of course notes was helpful.
"It makes it easier to take notes, because you don't have to write every single thing down," Gorman, Independence
independence senior said.
Hierl said the grades in his courses have increased considerably in the past few years, with the number of students earning an "A" increasing from 10.5 percent in 2004 to 25.3 percent

"They get feedback more quickly and accurately, and don't have to depend on turning papers in," Postma-Carttar said.
BILL MUGGY
Owner of Jayhawk Bookstore
in 2006. He said this was mainly due to more study guides, review sessions, homework assignments and availability of practice exams.
For the past two years, Spanish courses at the University of Kansas have used an online program that goes along with students' textbooks. For "Intermediate Spanish I" and "Intermediate Spanish II" textbooks, the online portion costs an additional $47.97. Rosalea Postma-Cartart, associate specialist for the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, thinks the additional material is beneficial.
Brad Heins, store manager of University Bookshop, said that buying revised versions did limit the availability of used textbooks. However, he said they only received complaints when students had to buy additional materials that weren't used.
"Other instructors and other departments need to truly look into this and see if they need the additional packets, clickers to sign in and online tools," Muggy said. "These professors are becoming
"I think instructors should be allowed to choose the material they want," Heins said. "But if they choose new technology, it's very important that they utilize it."
But Muggy is concerned that publishing companies are just making more money by printing these notebooks and students are having to pay more for them in return.
Although Muggy said he didn't deny instructors' rights to choose
their books and how they want to teach, he said that when students can only buy their books new, it was an unfair cost.
"The importance of competitiveness of the bookstores is serving the students and
finding the best value for them, whether it's through customer service, availability of used books or special ordering," Muggy said. "Those are the values that I will always maintain."
Hierl said that his new material was there to meet students' demands and to help them succeed in the course.
"If it's the difference between an 'A' and a 'C', I think it's worth doing," Hierl said. "I would pay $14.95 if it meant getting an 'A'."

ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL
Television is no barren wasteland
Many channels offer quality alternatives to reruns and reality TV
Some people hold on to the belief that television is a virtual reality
JESSE BROWN
ision is a virtual wasteland. They surf the channels on their TV sets and find reruns of favored sitcoms from their past and reality crap that airs so heavily now on music channels like VH1 and MTV (although a few are actually entertaining). But this perspective of "nothing but crap on the television" is narrow. If only they would expand their vision, they would find that television is in one of its richest eras, with many great shows to offer.
Of course, by expansion, to view some of television's hidden gems that air on such channels, more money would have to be spent to plow its treasures. Shows like "The Sopranos," "Sex and the City," "Six Feet Under" and "Entourage" have opened up the possibilities of making shows that feel new, exciting, and engaging on channels like HBO, Showtime and FX, where they could get away with certain indiscretions. It has recently been revealed to me, by friends, that television has a lot to offer to someone who is looking for entertainment. You just need to look closely.
Showtime's series "Weeds," currently in its third season, is one of the best comedies television has to offer and is rich with complex and human characters. A widowed mother decides to sell marijuana so she can sustain her family's way of life in suburban California. The show is a view of hypocrisy that winks at us all, but this show adores its hypocrites, making it a laugh riot. When you have Kevin Nealon as City Council member Doug, pothead and in charge of running the town's budget, you can't help busting out with
laughter. "Weeds" also has its master actors who bring more dramatic flair to the table like Mary-Louise Parker, who turns in an award-winning performance every episode as widowed pot dealer mother Nancy Botwin, and Romany Malco, who plays against the stereotype of a pot dealer, making his character smarter
with a knowledge in botany and business tactics. He is so charismatic and untapped by movies; his role as Jay in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" alone gives him the right to tap into whatever he wants.
Channels like HBO, Showtime, and FX do produce their share of engaging television, but basic channels like NBC and ABC have certainly stepped up. While there are all you "Grey's Anatomy" fanatics out there, these channels produce shows that are just as engaging, like "Desperate Housewives." NBC's lineup for Thursday night includes "My Name is Earl," "30 Rock," "The Office" and "Scrubs." My personal favorite, "Heroes," airs on Monday nights.
The FX series "Rescue Me" is not only one of the funniest shows on television but is also the most psychologically complex. Denis Leary's dramedy about the heroism of firefighters in a post Sept. 11 world looks closely at the firemen of the show who dealt with the terrorist attacks and their lives after. It's got a slew of funny characters, but it's also high on its drama with its love affairs, betrayals, and the characters' sexual orientation. Leary is so gifted at writing and acting that he could bring in the really intense moments and chuck out the laughs like he's not even trying.
So enough with the gripping of "nothing ever good comes on television," because I assure you it does. You just need to venture out and find the show or shows that hook you.

Professors' first priority should be their students When departments become too focused on research and red tape, learning suffers
Though research brings more acclaim and more funding in the way of
I more acclaim and more funding in the way of grants, and thus more interested students sniffing around for a chance to join in on the progress, there could be a higher cost. Already, many departments on campus are understaffed, under-funded, and overworked. To add more research to the mix seems disagreeable to the academic health of the Jayhawk undergraduate.
"Graduate programs drive research and research drives graduate programs," were the words of University Provost Richard Lariviere when he announced in April that the graduate school would be merged with the Office of the Vice Provost for Research, creating the Office of Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Studies.
Lariviere said at the time that
the two programs had so much in common that it made good sense to bring them together with a single, high-priority mandate.The mandate: "Growth of research and growth in the size, scope and quality of doctoral programs at the Lawrence campus."
This is odd considering the January 2007 address given by Chancellor Robert Hemenway before the Kansas House Education Budget Committee where he said that, "Research at KU is not static" and that, "KU is highly regarded as a top public research and teaching university."
With $300 million invested in its research labs over the past five years, a ranking of 39th among the nation's top 162 national public universities according to a U.S. News & World Report survey of undergraduate
programs, 24 KU graduate programs ranked 25th or higher among public universities, and two of those programs—special education and public administration—rated number one among all national public universities, one wonders why the administration wishes to up the output when funding from the state isn't going up and the number of faculty is shrinking in relation to the influx of incoming students.
Admittedly, the University isn't at the very top of the academic layer cake, but a push for more research seems dangerous from the point of view of one group of people at the University—namely the undergraduate student body. Not only will more money be funneled away from students, but professors who could have spent time advising students will be more concerned with filling a
research quota
One thing the University needs to always put first is the welfare of its scholars. An exemplary university cares about students getting help when they need it. We hate the idea of pupils becoming an inconvenience to an already thin-spread faculty.
It is not our intention to criticize the provost, the chancellor, or the faculty of the University of Kansas. We merely wish to voice our concern. This initiative seems to care more about drawing others to the University, whilst doing little for the ones who are already here.
As students who attend KU, we are inclined to stay. Please ensure that our experience here is beneficial.

TEA AND CAKE, OR DEATH
MAX RINKEL
When evaluating people, don't stop at the surface When snap judgment stereotypes are formed,they can be difficult to undo
JORDAN WILLIAMS
In the immortal words of the hilarious Briton, Eddie Izzard, which would you prefer: tea and cake, or death? As a human with free will and an affinity for all things sweet and quenching, I would choose tea and cake over death. Clearly my preference shows that I am a being that favors life. Sadly, other choices we make as people in American society are not so humorous or facile. Our choices in life make up the stereotypes that pervade society and condition a mass thinking that is detrimental to American culture.
So, let's play a game, shall we? There is a college guy who plays tennis, reads Shakespeare, shops at Banana Republic, belongs to a fraternity, stays abreast on contemporary politics, and enjoys a good episode
of "Seinfeld" every now and then. Got a mental picture of what that person looks like? Good, because it's me.
It would seem that these days anyone can fall victim to a so-called stereotype. However, in all fairness, some of these stereotypes are bad and some are, well not so bad.
For instance, some years ago I nearly flew into a rage when someone complimented my proficiency of the English language by prefacing, under their breath, that it is so rare to find a young black man with those capabilities. It gets worse. Over the summer, I was ridiculed for my preference of orange soda over Mountain Dew. This high school student went on to say that he silently predicted that I would drink the orange soda because all black people love it. Sorry for mimicking Dave Chappelle, but here I thought I liked the orange goodness because my taste buds enjoyed it, when actually I have a genetic predisposition to orange soda, and chicken apparently. What this friend of mine didn't know was that I rather fancy iced tea and Starbucks' many different coffees; two drinks that typically aren't associated with, say,
the proletariat in east Compton,
L.A.
Furthermore, my predilection for tennis has garnered me some unwanted pensive looks ("Huh, you look like a football player to me"). The laundry list could continue for days, but the main point still remains that these assumptions aren't fair. Why should people who choose to ignore conventional wisdom be nominated as an exception to the rule, as an anomaly? People seem obsessed with attaching a human association to a word. Why is it strange to imagine a Mexican-American man or woman born into poverty with limited spoken English in the home applying and getting accepted into Harvard? Why is it strange to envision a successful and extremely bright engineering major as a black woman? Or, why is it strange to picture an Asian-American as athletic, socially adept, and better at writing novels than differentiating equations?
I hate to play the blame game, but society dropped the ball on this one. Everything from advertising to the public school
system conditions us to believe or think a certain way about groups of people. As far as advertising goes, why do you think Abercrombie & Fifch was accused of being classist, racist, and body obsessed? Look at an old advertising catalogue on the Internet and I can guarantee you'll notice a sea of blonde hair, six-pack abs, small waists, and the background of some random country club with polo paraphernalia in view. I now realize that it may be too late to announce this caveat, but my intent behind writing this isn't to castigate upper-class white America, because I truly believe that all people fall prey to unfair stereotypes insofar as to include religion, political leanings, and sexual orientation. While I've sometimes tacitly prized myself on being the dreaded exception to most stereotypical rules, I must admit I do inadvertently adhere to a certain rainbow-colored stereotype. I can't seem to stay away from that shoe department at Nordstrom's.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Richard Jewell is interviewed by the Associated Press on July 22, 2006, in Atlanta. Jewell, a former security guard who was erroneously linked to the 1996 Olympic bombing, died Wednesday. He was 44.
Security guard wrongly linked to 1996 Olympic bombing dies at 44
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Richard Jewell, the former security guard who was wrongly linked to the 1996 Olympic bombing and then waged a decade-long battle with news organizations to defend his reputation, died Wednesday. He was 44.
Jewell was found dead in his west Georgia home. An autopsy was scheduled for Thursday.
"There's no suspicion whatsoever of any type of foul play. He had been at home sick since the end of February with kidney problems" saidMiereiweth County Coroner Johnny Worley.
Jewell was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year and later had a few toes
amputated. He had recently been on dialysis, the coroner said.
Lin Wood, Jewell's longtime attorney, said in an e-mail to the Associated Press that he was "devastated" by the news. He described Jewell as "a dedicated public servant whose heroism the night of the Centennial Olympic Park bombing saved the lives of many people."
The Jewell episode led to soul-searching among news organizations about the use of unattributed or anonymously sourced information. His very name became shorthand for a person accused of wrongdoing in the media based on scanty information.
"He will be missed, but never forgotten." Wood said.
Jewell was a security guard in 1996 at the Olympics in Atlanta. He was initially hailed as a hero for spotting a suspicious backpack in a park and moving people out of harm's way just before a bomb exploded during a concert.
The blast killed one and injured 111 others.
Three days after the bombing, an unattributed report in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution described him as "the focus" of the investigation.
Other media, to varying degrees, also linked Jewell to the investigation and portrayed him as a loser and law-enforcement wannabe who may have planted the bomb so he would look like a hero when he discovered it later.
Reporters camped outside Jewell's mother's apartment in the Atlanta area, and his life was dissected for weeks by the media. But he was never arrested or charged, although he was questioned and was a subject of search warrants.
Reno expressed regret over the leak regarding Jewell. "I'm very sorry it happened," she told reporters. "I think we owe him an apology."
Eventually, the bomber turned out to be anti-government extremist Eric Rudolph, who also planted three other bombs in the Atlanta area and in Birmingham, Ala.
Jewell told the Associated Press last year that Rudolph's conviction helped clear his name, but he believed some people still remembered him as a suspect rather than for the two days he was praised as a hero.
A year ago, Gov. Sonny Perdue commended jewel at a bombing anniversary event. "This is what I think is the right thing to do" Perdue declared as he handed a certificate to Jewell.
As recently as last year, Jewell was working as a sheriff's deputy in west Georgia. He also gave speeches to college journalism classes about his experience.

iPhone hackers struggle to profit from software
He said it had been contacted by lawyers from O'Melveny & Myers LLP, an international law firm representing AT&T, who told him the software contained material copyrighted by Apple Inc.
John McLaughlin of Uniquephones.com, an outfit based in Northern Ireland, said in a phone interview Wednesday that its unlocking software for iPhones is ready, but the company is holding off while it gets legal advice.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Hackers have figured out how to unleash Apple's iPhone from AT&T's cellular network, but people hoping to make money from the procedure could face legal problems.
"Whether people can make profits from software that hacks the iPhone is going to depend very much on exactly what was done to develop that software and what does that software do," said Bart Showalter, head of the Intellectual Property practice group at law firm Baker Botts in Dallas.
At least one of the companies hoping to make money by unlocking iPhones said it is hesitating after calls from lawyers representing the phone company.
Unlocking the phone for one's own use, for instance to place calls with a different carrier, appears to be legal. But if it's done for financial gain, the legality is less certain.

George Hotz, a 17-year-old in New Jersey who managed to unlock his iPhone last week, using both software and hardware modifications, tried to sell it on eBay but ended the auction after apparently fake bids sent the price to $100 million.
Instead, Hotz traded the unlocked phone for "a sweet Nissan 350Z" and three iPhones, according to his blog Hotz made the deal with Terry Daidone, co-founder of CertiCell, a cell phone repair company in Louisville, Ky.
The iPhone is sold only in the U.S., and only for use on the AT&T network, but it is compatible with cell phone technology used around the world, which means an unlocked phone can use an overseas account and number. In the U.S., T-Mobile is the only other major carrier compatible with the iPhone; Sprint and Verizon Wireless use different network technologies.

"They don't have it, so therefore they can't actually threaten us," McLaughlin said. "It was 'friendly advice.'"
Uniquephones.com had planned to release the software via iphoneunlocking.com. The price for people on its mailing list, which contained just fewer than half a million addresses, would be $25 per iPhone, McLaughlin said.
George Hotz, a 17-year-old hacker, is shown in his bedroom workspace Aug. 23 in Glen Rock, N.J. Hotz has broken the lock that ties Apple's iPhone to AT&T's wireless network, freeing the most hyped cell phone ever for use on the networks of other carriers, including oversea ones. Hotz confirmed Friday that he had unlocked an iPhone and was using it on T-Mobile's network, the only major U.S. carrier apart from AT&T that is compatible with the iPhone's cellular technology.

Small-time opponent to benefit Jayhawks
BRYAN WHEELER
In what would seem to be a nice, warm evening on Sept. 8, 2007, in Lawrence, pandemonium broke out as Kansas football fans celebrated a blowout victory against Division I-AA Southeastern Louisiana University.
Junior cornerback Aqib Talib led a group of players carrying a cooler of Gatorade to surprise coach Mark Mangino with a Gatorade bath. Meanwhile, a mob of fans had torn down the goal posts. Another group of fans, looking to cool off, had decided to take a dip in Potter Lake and rejoice in this ever-irrelevant victory.
Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing had a career day and was a key performer in the Jayhawks' 56-0 victory, passing for 481 yards and five touchdowns.
Mangino, who was close by, quickly corrected his star quarterback, "Not for at least another five to ten years."
When asked about the game, he said,
"They never stood a chance. This win gave our guys a chance to show Southeastern they are a second-class team that will never be good enough to play on our level."
Talib, a pre-season All-American, led an astounding defensive performance for Kansas with a career-high seven interceptions. In a post-game interview he said, "I felt like Spiderman out there. There wasn't a pass I couldn't run down or a guy I couldn't cover. At half-time I asked coach to just let me play on defense by myself and give the other guys a break because it just wasn't fair anymore."
Note: Before you get alarmed, let's go back to reality. In all seriousness, this would never happen.
What may seem to be David versus Goliath is actually a chance for two football programs to improve. For years, teams such as University of Florida, Virginia Tech and rival Kansas State have capitalized on playing out-of-conference schedules against lesser-known schools such as Southeastern Louisiana University, Florida International University or Western Carolina University. As for these lesser-known programs, the larger school awards them a hefty payoff, usually between $200,000 and $1,000,000, for playing a high-calibration team.
For a team such as Florida International, which went 0-12 last season, making a bowl game is out of the question. What probably will result in a loss on the schedule is a huge gain for the school's entire athletic department, not just the football team. If one of these teams plays three to four teams and makes a few million dollars a season, the school's athletic department is receiving funding they would otherwise never get.
This season, Kansas hosts out-of-conference teams Central Michigan, Southeastern Louisiana University, Florida International and Toledo University. In CBSSports.com's ranking of the 120 Division I-A teams, Central Michigan, ranked No.59, is the only team out of the four that comes close to the competition Kansas has to prepare for in the Big 12.
Though the idea of beating up on a bunch of unknown teams does not sound as exciting as described earlier, the easy schedule should allow this Kansas football team to gain some confidence and have some success before their Big 12 opening game against rival Kansas State on Oct. 6.

Swedish star loves her new home
BY ANDREW WIEBE
awiebe@kansan.com
When Camilla Svensson began golfing as a 12-year-old girl, she never imagined it would take her as far away from home as the University of Kansas.
M. C. SMITH
After growing up in Gothenburg, Sweden, the sophomore's desire to pursue academic goals, as well as to continue her career as a golfer, made coming to the United States an opportunity too good to pass up.
"In Sweden it's hard to both study and play golf at the same time," Svensson said. "I've always said it's important to have an education because you never know what could happen, but I felt like I wanted to give golf a chance too."
A number of college coaches contacted her, but Svensson found her way to the University of Kansas after hitting it off with coach Erin O'Neil at a tournament in Sweden.
"Coach O'Neil was definitely a part of why I decided to come here," Svensson said. "Of course there were other parts too, but we had a good connection back in Sweden. I felt that she could help me improve my golf game, and she understood my way of looking at golf as well."
Camilla Swenson, Gothenburg, Sweden, sophomore, is adjusting to life in Kansas. The women's golf team placed ninth at the Big 12 Championship last year.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Although her relationship with O'Neil played a large role in bringing Svensson to Kansas, she said her campus visit in Fall 2005 made the decision even easier.
"It's a really nice campus, of course, and the entire athletic department is just a big family," Svensson said. "I could tell the first
time I got here that it was a good place for me. The facilities and golf courses are nice, and I wanted to be some place a little bit different."
Once on campus, Svensson's transition to American culture was less stressful than what many international students face.
Because students in.Sweden are required
to take English classes from third grade through their second year of gymnasium, the Swedish equivalent of high school, Svensson said, she came to Lawrence without a significant language barrier.
She said her ability to communicate made living in the U.S. much easier, and the positive reception she received from Americans made a distinct impression on her as well.
"I love the American people" she said. "I love the openness and how helpful everyone is. It just makes my day that much easier."
Despite the welcome from Americans, Svensson said not seeing her family and friends in Sweden had beo ne difficult.
She said the distance separating her from her family had been the toughest part of adapting to life at the University. Svensson said it was hard to miss out on quality time with family and friends.
"There are a lot of things you miss at home," Svensson said. "My brother had a baby, and she is 2 years old now. I miss a lot of time with her."
"We have a young team, so I don't think a lot of people are going to expect much
Being away from loved ones is tough, Svensson said, but she is focused on becoming a more complete golfer and helping her teammates improve on a ninth place finish in last year's Big 12 Championship.
Big 12 champion Amanda Costner will be impossible to replace, but Svensson said she expected to continue to improve on last year's progress despite low expectations.

NCAA changes kickoff yard line hopes new rules speed up games
The 2007 college football season kicks off Thursday night. And it will be kicking off from an allnew location.
A new NCAA rule, number 6-1-1, moves the ball to the 30-yard line on kickoffs. Before this year, every college football kicker booted the ball from the 35-yard line. The NFL implemented the same change in 1994.
Five yards may seem like a minor adjustment, but the rule could significantly alter games because more kickoffs should be returned. The rule has forced coaches to spend more practice time on

NASCAR Bowyer hopes to win Nextel Cup
KANSAS CITY — Clint Bowyer is off the bubble. Now he would like to get that big zero out of his Nextel Cup victories column. He sits ninth in the points standings, with two races to go before the 12-driver Chase field is set. The 13th-place driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., trains him by 223 points.
Earning his first Cup victory, though, would make Bowyer feel better about his chances of contending for a title.
"Getting that first win — not being able to do that, that's the most frustrating thing" said Bowyer, who matched a career best with a third-place finish on Sunday at Bristol.
But with the Chase nearing — and once it starts — Bowyer won't take any extra risks to win a race.
"It's affected our whole weekend, and not just how I drive in the car," he said at Kansas Speedway, site of the Kansas 400 on Sept. 30. "You've got to drive 100 percent, but you don't drive 110 percent. There's a lot of conservative measures that you go to: pit strategy, setup on the car, things like that."
For a driver who's is hungry for a win, that approach can be hard to take, especially because he's the only one among the top 12 without a victory this season. This is the first year in which 12 drivers can contend for the Nextel Cup Before this season, only the top 10 drivers qualified for the 10-race Chase.

Jones rides on prior success
New coach, returning players create promising season for Central Michigan
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
afusco@kansan.com
The departure of a successful coach rarely bodes well for a college football program. Central Michigan, which lost coach Brian Kelly to Cincinnati last December, will try to overcome its coach's departure in its game against Kansas on Saturday.
Butch Jones stepped into the Central Michigan coaching job in January. He recently coached the wide receivers at West Virginia for two seasons. Before that, he worked as Central Michigan's offensive coordinator from 1998 to 2004.
The offenses he helped construct at Central Michigan and West Virginia gained yardage and scored with ease. His involvement in such successful offenses has earned him the respect of many of Kansas' players and coaches.
"I see it as a challenging first game," coach Mark Mangino said. "We have really no idea exactly what they're going to do on offense or defense or special teams because it's the first time this staff is together. We are preparing for everything—everything you could see on offense,
defense or the kicking game."
Central Michigan's entire offensive coaching staff arrived from different schools this offseason and that could make the Chippewas tough
to scout. Last season, offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian coached for the Chicago Bears, wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni coached at Bowling Green and running backs coach Jeff Beckles coached
seasons. The team ran a versatile offense out of a spread formation and relied on an elite running attack and an effective deep passing game.
"We are preparing for everything everything you could see on offense, defense or the kicking game."
MARK MANGINO Kansas football coach
the Georgia Southern receiving game. Throw in Jones' work at West Virginia and Central Michigan's staff has quite the eclectic portfolio.
"It's hard to say what to expect from them," junior defensive end Russell Brorsen said. "We're expecting them to be uptempo and a really good team. They were very good last year, and we expect them to be once again."
Uptempo does not begin to describe the West Virginia offenses Jones co-authored for the past two
C ent ral Michigan does not have the same caliber of weaponry as West Virginia, but Jones has plenty of talent to work with. The Chippewas return all of the top skill players from a squad
"We have respect for Central Michigan and the people in our office, the team and the players do too," Mangino said. "If anybody's underestimating Central Michigan, they aren't in this building."
that finished 10-4 and won the MAC Championship last season.
It remains to be seen whether Butch Jones will help the Chippewas build on last season's success. On Saturday, Kansas will be the first to find out.
"On the offensive side of the ball, they have an outstanding quarterback in Dan LeFevour," Mangino said. "He threw for over 3,000 yards last year, but not only that, he's capable of running the ball. He can escape the pocket very easily; he's big and quick."
and posted a stellar 26-to-10 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Junior running back Ontario Sneed and sophomore wide receiver Bryan Anderson are LeFevour's favorite targets. In 2006, Sneed battled injuries but caught 52 passes out of the backfield. The 6-foot-5 Anderson enjoyed a sensational freshman campaign, securing 73 receptions last season.
LeFevour is one of the most promising young quarterbacks in college football. He earned MAC Freshman of the Year last season
Despite Central Michigan coming off a conference championship and a bowl victory, some media and fans have been quick to dismiss the Chippewas as non-BCS conference pushers. But Mangino said he thought Central Michigan deserved more credit.

Despite long days at work, Cole's parents still managed to attend all of his basketball games. This was an easy feat when he played in the Bloomington Athletic Association, but as soon as teams across the state wanted Cole's talent, basketball became a traveling affair. In four years, Cole had improved his skills from terrible to tournament-caliber. Traveling across the country and playing in weekend tournaments became routine.
Eventually, he found himself attending Jefferson High School, where scouts at the state and national levels noticed his talent. During his time at Jefferson, Cole received many awards. The Associated Press named him Minnesota's defensive player of the year three years in a row as he set Jefferson High School's career scoring, blocking and rebounding records. The St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune also named him Minnesota's player of the year at the end of his senior season.
While all of this was going on, Cole's family was in the stands to witness every moment.
"I could hear Mom in the stands yell
I could hear staring during every game," Cole said. "She'd yell things like, 'Cole, push back! Cole, push back! Ref, are you blind?' It was like they were hurting her baby. She doesn't really understand about basketball."
In addition to his recognition at the state level, Cole also was named a McDonald's All-American. To the

BRADY MORNINGSTAR Sophomore guard
Back home in Bloomington, Cole's name was synonymous with high school basketball. At the University of Kansas, his name became a hot topic in recruitment for coach Bill Self and his staff. After years of being in contact with Cole and his parents, Self received a verbal commitment that Cole would attend Kansas after high school. The University received one of the best freshmen centers in the country and Cole earned his greatest honor to date: the opportunity to be the first person in his family to go to college.
"We tell him he's very lucky to have gotten a scholarship, because we couldn't afford to send him to KU," Kathy said.
Now, Cole prepares for his first basketball season away from home, away from the family that supported him and away from the state that named him its best.
As Cole stepped off the plane at Kansas City International Airport and arrived in Lawrence, the similarities between home and Kansas were apparent. The laid-back feeling that characterized

"He's hit the weights a lot and that's big," sophomore guard Brady Morningstar said. "He's going to have a big impact. Big guys get into foul trouble, and you need other guys to step in. Last year ended on a sour note, and we only lost one player. We want to win a National Championship this year, and Cole coming in adds a lot of depth."
Off the court, Cole's laid-back personality came in where his hard-working attitude left off. Living with his teammate, freshman guard Tyrel Reed, Cole found many opportunities to joke around and make his life in
Bloomington was part of Lawrence as well. Everywhere Cole went, he found people just as polite and accepting as they were back home. The most noticeable difference was the climate.
"If coach wants me to get twenty rebounds in a game, I'll try my damndest to get twenty boards. If they play small, then I guess I'm losing my voice on the bench."
"The summers here in Kansas are more intense. When I left home it was 75 and now, here it's 105," Cole said in a thick Minnesota accent. "But winters back home are much worse. Here it gets to be 30 degrees out and

Kansas as enjoyable as his life back home.
"He's a lively person and him being such a big guy makes the things he says funnier," Reed said. "You can talk to him about anything."
With his new basketball family around him, Cole prepared to take his place on this season's roster. As his working-class background would suggest, he didn't care what his job was.
"If coach wants me to get twenty rebounds in a game, I'll try my damnedst to get twenty boards," Cole said. "If they play small, then I guess I'm losing my voice on the bench."
When Cole does take a rest on the bench, Walt and Kathy plan to be in the stands behind him, supporting their son and the college that gave him the opportunity they never had.

Poll shows fans don't support Vick after dogfighting scandal
WASHINGTON — Michael Vick should not be allowed to play in the National Football League again, the majority of professional football fans said Wednesday in a poll.
According to the Gallup Poll, 58 percent said he should not be allowed to play in the NFL anymore. Only 22 percent said they would want their favorite team to try to acquire him should he return.
In addition, 35 percent said they believe he should serve a long prison sentence, 51 percent said they favored a short one, and 12 percent said he should not serve any time in prison.
Vick's sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 10. The federal sentencing range is projected at 12 to 18 months in prison, but the judge can sentence up to five years.

Royals pounce on Tigers; Greinke strong in 5-0 win
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The AL Central gap is growing for the Detroit Tigers.
Esteban German hit a go-ahead triple in a five-run first innings against Andrew Miller, and the Kansas City Royals beat Detroit 5-0 Wednesday night in only the second shutout against the Tigers this year.
Detroit fell $4\frac{1}{2}$ games behind division-leading Cleveland, matching the largest deficit of the season for the defending AL champions. Detroit, also that far out after play on June 1, has dropped the first two games of this three-game series in a stadium where the Tigers had been 14-1 in their 15 previous outings.
Miller (5-5) got only two outs in his 13th major league start, allowing five runs, five hits, two walks and two hit batters. Detroit has lost eight of its last 12 games.
Zack Greinke pitched four shutout innings in his second strong start since rejoining the rotation on Aug. 24. On a strict pitch count, the righthander allowed six hits, struck out seven and walked one.
Rookie Ryan Braun (2-0) pitched
2-3 innings of two-hit relief for
his second major league win. David Riske pitched the final 2 1-3 innings and got his fourth save in seven chances, his first since May 16.
Miller, the sixth overall pick in the 2006 amateur draft, began the game by hitting leadoff batter David Dejesus, giving the Royals a team-record 77 hit batters. It was also the 17th time Dejesus has been plunked,
leaving him one short of the team season mark.
A f e r German's RBI triple, the Royals loaded the bases on Mark Grudzielanek's RBI single, another hit batter and Brown's single.
Still with no
Miller walked Jason LaRue and Dejesus, Zach Miner came out of the bullpen and ended the inning with a forceout.
Detroit loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh, but Riske came on and retarded Placido Folanco on his first pitch, getting a flyout.
Still with no one out, Alex Gordon grounded an RBI single into right field, and Tony Pena Jr. made it 5-0 with a two-run single into almost the same spot.
Detroit fell 4 1/2 games behind division-leading Cleveland, matching the largest deficit of the season for the defending AL champions.
Notes: Detroit lost 3-0 to the New York Mets on June 8. .. When
the Royals beat Detroit 6-3
Tuesday night, despite getting outhit 16-6, it was the first time a team had 10 more hits than its opponent but lost a nine-inning game since Detroit beat Anaheim 4-3
No. 8 hitter Joey Gathright fanned for the first out, and catcher Ivan Rodriguez turned it into a double play by throwing out Gordon carelessly straying off second. After
on May 17, 1998 (four hits to the Angels' 14). The Royals had never done it. ... LHP Kenny Rogers is to throw a three-inning simulated game on Friday in Oakland. ... With 31 games left, the Royals need only four more victories to snap a streak of three straight 100-loss years.

Maria Sharapova of Russia serves to Roberta Vinci of Italy at the US Open tennis tournament in New York on Tuesday. Sharapova won the US Open last year.

Sharapova goes for repeat
Tennis star wants second victory in US Open
US OPEN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The lady in red shanked a backhand wide, prompting Maria Sharapova's opponent to 'leap in the air and pump her fist and smile as though shed won the match — or, indeed, the US Open championship itself.
Uh, not quite. That little celebration by 51st-ranked Roberta Vinci of Italy was for winning one game Tuesday night, allowing her to narrow the dressed-for-success Sharapova's lead to 6-0, 5-1.
"I win one game, I'm happy," Vinci said. "6-love, 6-love? No. 6-love, 6-1? OK."
A few minutes and one hold of serve later, Sharapova's 50-minute day was done, and she was into the second round at the tournament where she produced her second Grand Slam title a year ago.
"There's no way to get rid of the memories when I walk on the court and feel the vibe," the second-seeded Russian said, 600 crystals on her red dress sparkling in the Arthur Ashe Stadium lights. "Every corner I turn here, I get goose bumps."
Andy Roddick might very well have similar sentiments as he walks around the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. He did, after all, win the 2003 US Open for his only major title, and he won his first-round match Tuesday night, following Sharapova on court and beating Justin Gimelstob 7-6 (6), 6-3, 6-3.
The 30-year-old Gimelstob is retiring, and Roddick hugged him at the net afterward. Gimelstob knelt down to kiss the blue court
"We're going to miss one of the funniest guys on tour," Roddick said.
after his last US Open match, then held court for a while, conducting a postmatch interview with Roddick for the fans.
They're pals and engaged in a bit of levity in the second set, with Gimelstob arguing good-naturedly with the chair umpire about whether he should have a first serve or a second serve after fans interrupted play by applauding a group of military members in the stands.
After a lengthy delay, Gimelstob wound up double-faulting.
"You go on for an hour," Roddick shouted, "then you do that?"
Sharapova, meanwhile, compiled 15 winners before Vinci hit her first and finished with a 30-3 edge in that category during the 6-0, 6-1 victory. It was part of a mini-parade of past champions in first-round action, including victories for Martina Hingis, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Lleyton Hewitt.

Demand drags snow back
BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com
Beauty pageant season might be over with, but it's not stopping the theater department from bringing back one of its most popular shows. "Pageant: The Musical," which features its six leading male stars in drag, began a second go-around Thursday night after a successful summer run. The show will run through Sunday.
"Over the summer, we sold out every performance; we just knew people wanted to see it," said Charla Jenkins, public relations director of the theater department. Thursday night's performance sold out, and tonight's show has sold out as well.
Russell said that the show was more than just men in drag, and it took a great
Bill Russell, director and cowriter of "Pageant," said he hoped the second run would give people who haven't seen the show during the summer a chance to watch.
Limited seating is still available for the shows on Saturday and Sunday in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. Tickets cost $10 for students and $15 for the general public, and they are available from the University Theatre, the Lied Center and Student Union Activities.
"I was thrilled when it was decided to bring it back," Russell said. "Over the summer, we turned away a lot of people at each show who wanted to buy tickets. We knew there were a lot of people who still wanted to see it and this gives students
who weren't here over the summer the opportunity to see it as well."
"These men are dressed entirely like women," Jenkins said. "From makeup, wigs, fishnet stockings, they make for good looking women. And they all get into character so well — when I see one of them with a baseball cap on around the building, it's hard to think it's the same person who was a Miss Texas throwing a fit during the show."
"They got bored and put together this pageant where they were in drag," he said. "Someone suggested making it into a show. So they sent me a videotape and I was on the floor laughing — I thought it was hilarious."

Russell said the idea to make "Pageant" was something he wasn't interested in at first, but he was inspired by friends in theater who were touring with the show "42nd Street."
The cast consists of six males who will dress in full drag as beauty pageant contestants. The show picks a different "Pageant" winner each performance, so the ending is always different from the last show.

"Pageant" tickets have been on sale for the past few weeks and have been selling well so far. Linda Hope, theater department audience services manager, said ticket sales had been brisk since the show was announced.
"This show is very demanding for the actors," Russell said. "They all have to sing and act in high heels, which is hard if you're not used to it. The show was challenging, but all of these guys have risen to the occasion."

note.
I love flip-flops. My shoe wardrobe sees two seasons a year—boots and flip-flops. I've never heeded warnings about foot discomfort and I have always overlooked my cracked and embarrassingly difficult to clean heels because flip-flops just feel so good. This summer, though, I headed to Spain. As I packed my bags, I had to face the sobering reality of hours of walking tours and schlepping around the city I would live in. I had no car to give me a break—I would be lucky to find a piggy-back ride. Because I knew I would be taking the shoe leather express for a month, I did some research, and found my new best friend—Teesa. The supportive shoes with stood weeks of navigating tricky cobblestone streets. Read about flip-flops on pg. 5, and decide if your footwear needs a makeover. Then check out Jenny Denny's venture into the land of myths and legends on pg. 8, and once and for all, quit worrying about the gum you swallowed back in grade school.

Flawed footing
Your comfy, go-to flip-flops put you at risk for pain
Back in the day—when the word "thong" wasn't better associated with skimpy skivvies—flip-flops were shoes you wore only to the pool or in grimy public showers. But oh how terminology, trends and tastes have shifted in favor of simple, spongy shoes, which are now common apparel for everything from formal events to physical activities.
"Sadly, we even see them at the office because people think it's acceptable," says Suze Yalof Schwartz, executive fashion editor for Glamour magazine. Schwartz gives her nod for the most inappropriate wearing of flip-flops to the members of the Northwestern University women's lacrosse team who wore their foamy footwear to a White House photo op in 2005.
Indeed, no flip-floppers are more devoted than comfort-craving college students, who, strapped for time and cash, can slip on the inexpensive accessory on their way out the door.
"I wear them all the time. I think I even wore them to a funeral once," says Zachary Kan, freshman convenience flops keep even when close to free.
But footwear aren't fit for on-the-go come to pardon dresses.
"Your choice designed to and walkike R. Gaston, 'They're here and your not giving support.'"
Gaston's knees, hips, are all connected as the kind care of one lead to pain areas.

by Megan Hirt
Zachary Sherman, Coldwater, Kan., freshman, adding that the convenience and comfort of flip-flops keep him sporting them even when temperatures dip close to freezing.
But foot experts say flip-flops aren't fit for the role of casual, on-the-go footwear that they've come to play in some people's wardrobes.
"Your classic flip-flop was not designed to do a lot of standing and walking in," says Lawrence R. Gaston, a Lawrence podiatrist. "They're hard on knees, ankles and your back because it's just not giving your foot a lot of support."
Gaston says the feet, ankles, knees, hips, back and shoulders are all connected in what's known as the kinetic chain. Improper care of one area of the chain can lead to problems in the other areas.
For people who are flat-footed or have feet with average arches, consistently wearing shoes like flip-flops that have no support can cause feet to rotate inward, Gaston says. For the remainder of the population with high arches, flip-flops can cause feet to rotate outward. While the shoes may feel comfortable, if feet are rotating either direction, this can make ankles, knees and hipsrotate as well, possibly affecting posture and creating pain up through the links of the kinetic chain.
"Shoes that you should wear everywhere are ones designed to keep your foot neutral, neither rolling in or rolling out, which is the best position a foot can function in." Gaston says. "A flipflop doesn't do anything to keep your foot in that neutral position."
A n d
there's
more—flip-flops pack a greater disadvantage than other open, sandal-style shoes because they don't have a back, which causes toes to tighten to keep the toe in place as a person walks. Not only can the toes' constant gripping result in fatigued feet but, according to Gaston, in extreme cases, a person's second, third and fourth toes can become permanently bent at the middle joint, a deformity known as hammertoes.
Gaston advises students to think of walks on campus as exercising and to choose footwear that they would normally wear for a workout. But while most people wouldn't exercise in flip-flops, some enthusiasts, like Emily Seifert, St. Marys, Kan., senior, says the shoes have risen to the challenge.
"I've worn them on days when I've played baseball and even kickball," Seifert says. The simplicity of sliding on a pair of flip-flops and being on her way is what makes them so appealing to her. "I'm not a morning person at all, so I don't want to mess with socks and shoes and having to tie anything." Seifert says. Despite stubbed toes and dozens of broken pairs, she says she can be found clad in flip flops rain or shine, trudging up and down the hill or simply standing around at work. Seifert does, however, suggest checking your employer's dress code before donning what some might see as unprofessional apparel.
"The persona that comes with wearing flip-flops isn't very good," Seifert says. "But these are the most comfortable things I own, and at the end of the day, my feet actually hurt less in them. They're the closest you can get to walking barefoot, so they can't be that bad."
But flip-flops as nature's intendedfootwear isn't a sound defense, says Lawrence podiatrist James E. Reeves, because hu m a n s are no
Foot Facts
The average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day, which adds up to about four trips around the earth in a lifetime.
Each step can put the force of up to four times your body weight through your feet.
With 52 bones between the two of them, your feet contain more than one quarter of your body's total bones.
At birth, bones in the foot are mostly cartilage and slowly harden as the foot grows. They will only be completely hardened at around 21 years of age.

longer perpetually barefooted beings.
"Our feet have changed since we're so used to having shoes on," Reeves says. "When you then wear a shoe with no support, it creates lots of problems."
Flip-flops are better than going shoeless and are okay when worn occasionally and in rotation with other shoes, Reeves says. But, he adds, changing the color of the shoe is not changing the shoe itself. "If it's the same make, it's the same problem."
Fortunately, flip-flops that are better for your body have clopped onto the scene. Gaston recommends brands like Bite (www.biteshoes.com) and Teva (www.teva.com), and flip-flops made by athletic apparel companies like Nike and Adidas, which use the technologies of athletic shoes to make flip-flops with better support that will still keep yours among the fashionably elite feet. So although your parents may still ask why you're running around in thongs, you can roam easy knowing your flip-flops
knowing your flip-flops are providing a better bottom for your step.

COFFEE DOES A BODY GOOD—IN MODERATION
goodforyou/badforyou
For years, coffee, along with other caffeinated drinks, has been touted by nutrition officials as being unhealthy. But new research indicates that having a couple of cups of Joe a day could actually promote good health. The explanation behind the newly-discovered benefits are the antioxidants found in coffee.
"Antioxidants are nutrients that help protect the body from damage that we encounter in the environment everyday," says Cass Ryan, Registered Dietitian at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Ryan says that the specific antioxidant found in coffee is chlorogenic acid, which may help prevent cancer.
The key to healthy coffee consumption, however, is moderation.
This doesn't mean you should drink a quart a day, "says Ann Chapman, coordinator of Nutritional Services at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Chapman says that the ideal amount per day is 250 milligrams, or two cups. After 400 milligrams, or three cups, the negative effects of coffee start to appear, including restlessness, nervousness, insomnia, headaches, twitching and annoying the majority of your friends.
Aside from the benefits of antioxidants, Chapman also says that small amounts of coffee can increase awareness, and help wake you up before a big test.
In addition to the coffee itself, additives can be healthy too. But it all depends on what you put in, says Chapman.
"Obviously, drinks with cream or whole milk or sugary syrups aren't going to be good for you," she says. "But studies are showing that college students don't drink enough milk, so if you drink a latte with skim milk, it will give you the calcium you need from milk."
With this newfound information, java enthusiasts can now drink a little easier and a little healthier.
Verdict—good for you.

WHITE EYE MAKEUP IS A PARTIER'S BEST FRIEND
Let's be honest. Whether it's an early class or a late night out, waking up for school in the morning sucks. It's easy, though, to lose the appearance of those pesky under-eye circles with the use of white eye shadow and eyeliner. Apply the shadow on the inside corner of your eye and the concave part your nose bridge, followed by the liner on the inside third of your bottom lid. Mally Roncal, A-list make-up artist for celebrities such as Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez, swears by this technique so much that she made her own product.
"The champagne color awakens eyes and makes bone structure pop," Roncal says. The results are wonderful—you'll look like you spent the night annotating William Faulkner rather than loading your tab with $3 doubles. Study hard.

Everybody farts
From "silent but deadly" to long sequenced medleys, your ass is full o' gas.
by Kim Wallace

ILLUSTRATION BY CATHERINE COQUILLETTE
Some people take pride in it. Other people shudder at the thought of it. Some guys insist that girls don't do it. Other guys even try to light it on fire.
Farting is a natural part of life. Although many people deny their tooting tendencies, the average person passes gas about 12 times a day, according to the Mayo Clinic. If your gas pains are leading to social anxiety, follow these tips to learn, how certain foods affect your body and what you can do to reduce the risk of ripping a big one at the worst possible moment.
BODY BASICS
If you want to point the finger of blame at a particular body part
for flatulence, the colon is the culprit. According to Pete Beyer, associate professor of dietetics and nutrition at the University of Kansas Medical Center, the colon harbors more than 400 different species of bacteria that convert carbohydrates into gas. If carbes are not absorbed well by the body, or if you suffer from lactose intolerance, expect to pass some serious gas. The lactose-intolerant body has trouble breaking down the sugars and starches in dairy foods.
If you've ever tried to light a fart on fire (and succeeded), it's because of the combinations of gases present in your expulsions—oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and
methane all make up the sweet scent of human farts.
MUSICAL FOODS
We all know the children's rhyme about beans being the musical fruit, but what other offenders exist? Expect any kind of legume or flat bean to be flatulence inducing. This includes refried, pinto, black and white beans. These high-fiber beans are good for your digestive tract, though, so don't avoid them completely.
Whole grains such as oatmeal and granola are also linked to high levels of gas formation because the soluble fiber in these foods is not easily broken down
until it reaches the large intestine, according to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC).
Sorbitol, a naturally-occurring sugar in apples, pears and other fruits, is another substance that is not absorbed well in the digestive system, Beyer says. Sorbitol is also used as a sweetener in sugar-free candies and syrups.
POOT PREVENTION
Don't rule out healthy foods just because they are known to cause flatulence, Beyer says. The key to preventing unwanted gas in peak social settings (such as a first date or a job interview) is to know what foods affect your
body and to cut back on the consumption of those foods. Try cutting back on fried and fatty foods, suggests the Mayo Clinic, because most bloating and stomach pains result from these unhealthy foods.
Consider reducing dairy intake and replace these foods with soy or other low-lactase foods, Beyer says. Several digestion aids, such as Lactaid, are available for those who have problems digesting lactose.
Don't rush through your meals. Aside from preventing overeating, eating meals at a slower pace keeps you from swallowing unnecessarily amounts of air, which leads to excess gas in your
ILLUSTRATION BY CATHERINE COQUILLET body, according to the NDIC. This will lead to less burps and farts after meals.
Try popping a gas relief pill containing simethicone before meals. Simethicone works to reduce gas by breaking up the air bubbles during gas formation. Though these pills only work to a certain extent, Beyer says, some people find relief with this over-the-counter product.
Before you shun yourself from public after a taco-and-refried-bean feast, remember that everyone farts. Try to take a few steps to prevent a smelly one from creeping out of you. If worse comes to worse, you can always blame it on the dog.

Not-SO common knowledge
Mythbusters—KU style by Jennifer Denny

If you've ever wondered if everything Mom and Dad told you growing up was actually true, some of your questions will finally be answered. Is the gum you swallowed in middle school still moving through your body? And does all that liquor you drank over the weekend explain why you can't do simple math on Monday? Our parents would like us to think so, but you'll find a lot of myths we've believed in over the years are actually far from the truth. Learn from the experts here and maybe you can teach the 'rents a thing or two.
DOES IT TAKE SEVEN YEARS TO DIGEST CHEWING GUM?
Although swallowing your bubble gum won't do your body any wonders, it definitely won't be
sticking to your gizzards for seven years. "It comes out with the rest of your solid wastes—through the same pathway, and almost always, right on schedule," says Karl Krusenlnick, a physics professor at the University of Sydney who has studied biomedical engineering. Because gum is actually made of a soluble fiber, it cannot be digested by our stomachs, so it moves right through like that corn-on-the-cob from your last barbeque. In fact, chewing gum can actually act as a laxative if Sorbitol, a common sweetener, is one of the gum's ingredients.
DOES EATING CHOCOLATE CAUSE ACNE?
No. Neither will those greasy french fries, sugar-coated doughnuts or even creamy

queso. However, while these foods will not produce pimples directly, a lack of nutrients in your diet can cause acne, says Lee Bittenbender, a dermatologist at the Dermatology Center of Lawrence, 930 Iowa St. Your body naturally stores toxins, which can be cleansed by digesting nutrients like Vitamin B or E. But in nutrient-deficient foods like that rich chocolate fudge or French fries, you won't be getting enough of these essential nutrients. If the toxins aren't processed by nutrients, they'll take it upon themselves to leave through the pores in your face. In other words, while stuffing your face will those dark chocolate M&M's you've hidden in your desk drawer, add some fruit to the binge session.
CAN CARROTS HELP IMPROVE YOUR VISION?
Not at all. History buffs could probably tell you the reason this myth got started. During World War II, the British Royal Air Force claimed its pilots were fed meal after meal of carrots instead of divulging the real reason German bombers were being shot down
more: the Brits had developed a sophisticated radar system. The British rumor was based on the fact that carrots contain beta-carotene, which the body converts to Vitamin A, an essential nutrient for healthy eyesight and skin. However, only a small amount of Vitamin A is required, so you could eat a day's worth of calories in carrots, and your vision still wouldn't improve, according to a 1998 study conducted by Harvard Medical School affiliate Schepens Eye Research Institute. (If you do eat that many carrots, though, you might turn orange and risk a headache and fatigue from overdosing on Vitamin A.)

IS IT BAD TO CRACK YOUR KNUCKLES?
Once again,this is another myth our parents told us as children so we wouldn't bother them with the spine-tingling sound that is knuckle popping. The sound itself is produced by bursting bubbles in the fluid surrounding the knuckle joint, but it causes minimal damage, says Raymond Brodeur, a faculty member at Palmer College of Chiropractic, who conducted a study about knuckle cracking. While you can't get arthritis from this noisy habit, you could cause swelling in the ligaments and actually decrease your grip strength.
CAN YOU LOSE A CONTACT
LENS IN THE BACK OF YOUR
EYE SOCKET?
lenses, says Curtis Anderson, an optometrist at Excellence in Eyecare, 932 Massachusetts St. If you think you have lost your lens, try moving your eyeball around because the contact could slide back into its correct place and stop giving you problems. If not, see your eye doctor because it could be stuck in your eyelid and it will take a professional to pull it out of its hiding place.
Before you run to your eye doctor because you misplaced your contact and you swear it's in the back of your head, look around the sink and floor for the silly thing. Your body is not a black hole. There's no way a contact can get lost on your eyeball; it is not physically possible because a strong membrane called the conjunctive lines the inside of your eye and doesn't allow anything to pass through, including contact
WHAT ARE EYE BOOGERS?
Just like the nasal variety, the boogers you pluck out of the corners of your eyes while you hope no one is watching you in class are a mass of foreign junk, explains Jennifer Walker, a pediatric nurse and founder of *MomsOnCall.com*, a website for parents seeking medical information from pediatricians. Your plica semilunaris, the small fold of tissue on the inside corner
of your eye, is responsible for surrounding the foreign materials like dust or pollen in the mucus so it doesn't scratch your cornea. Eye boogies are a mixture of oil, sweat and tears formed when the fluid does not drain properly through the tear duct. Please just wipe them away before coming into class.
No, and you can no longer use this as an excuse for why you have a hangover. However, your body absorbs the alcohol from carbonated drinks like beer quicker than hard alcohol, so if you load up on the hard stuff after a few brewies, it will be absorbed at a faster rate that usual. Also, mixing alcohols makes it more difficult for your body to break down the congeners, the toxic chemicals formed during fermentation.
"The major cause of a hangover is consuming too much alcohol," says David J. Hanson, Ph.D., a retired professor of sociology from the State University of New York at Potsdam, who has studied alcohol and drinking for more than 30 years. "However, other things being equal, clear spirits such as vodka and gin are less likely to cause hangover than other alcoholic beverages because they have fewer congeners in them." Regardless of what you drink, in order to avoid a nasty hangover the next morning, you should take a vitamin and drink lots of water before you hit the sack and

also when you wake up because alcohol is a diuretic. Whatever you do, don't take Tyloren after a long bar night. Combining the acetaminophen found in the medication and alcohol will damage your liver 10 times the amount the alcohol alone caused.

WHY DO YOU GET THE MUNCHIES WHEN YOU ARE STONED?
DOES DRINKING ALCOHOL KILL BRAIN CELLS?
Because Jimmy John's delivery driver needs to make money, Okay, this answer is complicated, so get ready. Molecules called endocannabinoids, marijuana-like chemicals present in our brain, activate hunger by binding with receptors in the brain, says Derek Williams, member of United Kingdom Cannabis Internet Activists. So the chemicals you inhale while smoking marijuana bind to these same receptors and stimulate the hunger feeling. So basically, when you smoke pot, you are intensifying what your body already does naturally, so a normal appetite turns into the munchies when you are high.

Our professors and parents would like us to believe this statement in hopes that we'll drink less on the weekends, but it is a myth. However, years of alcohol abuse and binge drinking can cause neurological damage. Alcohol will damage a cell's dendrites, the things that conduct the electrical stimulation from cell to cell. As long as you don't drink yourself stupid every weekend, moderately consuming alcohol (one to three drinks daily) can improve mental functioning, like thinking and reasoning skills, and memory. "It is associated with improved cognition and a lower risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease as we age," says Hanson, the retired professor from the State University of New York. Bottoms up!
IF YOU STICK A SLEEPING PERSON'S HAND IN WARM WATER, WILL HE OR SHE WET THE BED?
Nope, this is another myth. It was certainly fun to think about as a preteen at sleepovers, but if you ever attempted it, all you probably ended up with was a pissed-off friend. "There are no scientific studies to my knowledge on this, but I have heard of it working," says Jon J. Heeb, a urologist at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. This myth may have gotten started because studies have shown that a warm bath can make it easier to urinate. This is because of the decreased pressure on the urethra, the tube that connects the bladder to the outside of your body, and increased body temperature during a bath. However, nothing has shown dipping a hand in water has the same effect.
IS IT DANGEROUS TO HOLD IT WHEN YOU HAVE TO PEE?
If you are haunted by memories of your middle school science teacher not letting you leave class to visit the restroom, you are not alone. Have no fear, it's okay for you to hold it. "Unless a person has an underlying problem with bladder function, or makes a habit out of 'holding it too long', I think there's little reason to be concerned about damage from this," says Heeb, the Lawrence urologist. When your bladder is full, receptors in the bladder wall let you know you need to go. If you ignore these signals, the sensory neurons in the bladder wall can cause contractions that overpower the muscle holding your bladder shut, and embarrassingly you might pee all over yourself.

Dealing with the police isn't always easy
It's one of your first big college parties. You're not 21. You're sitting in the corner with some friends, drunk enough to get past your paralyzing shyness and talk to the girl you are convinced is Scarlett Johansson's sister. Then it happens. The officer walks in the front door. He hasn't said anything yet, but is just looking at you as if he's been sent from the future to find you. You panic. You think you're going to jail. You think back to Shawshank Redemption. You don't want to crawl through miles of nastiness, but you will if you have to. Then you devise a way to avoid all of that. You turn, drop the contraband and run.

KU students, new and old, will undoubtedly come in contact with police officers, and this story will explain to you how to interact with Lawrence Police.
Zach Colwell, Lawrence junior,
was a tenant a couple years ago
in a house that often hosted
parties. Half of the parties
thrown at his house ended with
the police coming in response
to noise complaints, but none of
them ended with anyone getting
a ticket.
"I don't know of a single person ever getting a ticket at one of my parties," Colwell says. And that includes the three people who lived there. He said the officers just came in and told
everyone to leave.
When officers came to his parties, Colwell did a few things. First, he stayed calm. More importantly, he was respectful while still attempting to crack some jokes. Second, he reassured the officer that the party was over, and made the officer feel that what he wanted to happen was going to happen. Colwell says he was always given warnings, but that some of them were more stiff. The officers sometimes have told him that they don't want to come back that night, but they have also told him that they don't want to come back ever.
Sgt. Paul Fellers of the Lawrence Police Department also believes that it's most important for students to be respectful to as well as honest with police officers. He also thinks it is important for students to educate themselves on local ordinances that could effect them. Some ordinances
that he suggests students read are 4-203; Consumption of cereal malt beverage in public and 4-103; Possession, purchase or consumption of alcohol beverage by underage persons. These can be found on the City of Lawrence's web site, www.lawrencels.org, under the "City Code" section.
But house parties aren't the only place where students and police interact; they meet up in bars as well.
The Lawrence Police also do something called "bar checks." Bar checks are conducted to find underage drinkers in bars, and they can be done at any bar within Lawrence city limits. The process uses any number uniformed and plain clothes officers. The procedure information of a bar check is located in the policies and procedure document on the Lawrence Police Department Web site. Officers look at people's
actions, if they become strange, and their appearance, if they look like they might not be 21. If the officer finds a violation he or she can remove that person from the bar along with any evidence of the violation.
Some of my interactions with Lawrence Police would be helpful to share so that others can learn from my successes and mistakes. First, I've never run from a house party upon a police officer's arrival. He or she is not there to hand out MIPs to the dozens of students who are there drinking underage. I've personally had a pitcher of beer swiftly taken from my 19-year-old hands by a police officer, but he just told everyone to go home. Second, filling a water bottle with alcohol doesn't work. Once, while walking down to a party, we were stopped by an officer. One of my friends was carrying a Gatorade bottle filled to the brim, but only half full of
Gatorade. This will not fool an officer, and my friend walked away with an MIP. Third, don't steal street signs. No matter how bad you want the Anthony Michael Drive street sign, located northwest of Bob Billings Drive and Inverness Street, it isn't worth the trouble. Even at 2 in the morning there could be a man in his car near the sign who will remain unseen until you leave after an unsuccessful attempt.
At this point he will follow you wherever you go, call the police, have you tracked down and logged for attempted theft. Finally, and most importantly, as both Colwell and Fellers mentioned, show undue respect to all police officers. If you do not, you could find yourself walking to the courthouse to ask a clerk the specifics about your $104 jaywalking ticket; an experience I wish on nobody.

Wii would like to playall sorts of fun games. by Kyle Gray
Students are bowling in their dorm rooms. From the dinky, stale rooms of McCollum to Corbin, students are getting together more often.
The Nintendo Wii, released in November of 2006, has not only caught gamers off-guard by its success, it's got all kinds of people surprised by just how fun and involving it is.
Nursinghomes,suchas Sedgebrook Retirement Community in Chicago,Ill.,are getting the elderly bowling again.Girls like Lynn Jones, Topeka freshman, are playing video games, which was a rare sight nine months ago. Now, college students are getting together to play.
"When I first got mine, I was living in GSP, and I think every girl on my floor stopped by to give it a try," says Jones, who is also a member of the Facebook group "KU Wii Gamers." She says that people were waiting to take turns to play because her console only came with one remote. Even now that she's out of the dorms, her friends stop by to play games like Mario Party 8 and Wii Play. Her friends even demand that she bring it with her when she visits them.
Using a sensor bar and JV-remote-shaped wireless controllers, the console mimics your every movement. When you slice your remote through the air like a racket, it mimics that movement to serve a ball in tennis.
"I think the reason the Wii is more popular than other consoles is a sense of skill," says John Sams, owner of WiiParty.com.
"Anyone can punch a few buttons and control a joystick, but with the Wii you put more into your game. This is one of the few situations where a good baseball player will have a hand up on the competition."
Sams' website facilitates Wii players to put together what are now being referred to as "Wii Parties." A Wii party brings people together to play and compete amongst both old and new friends.
Wii parties can also facilitate
drinking games. Bradley Friedman, Leawood sophomore, says that he hasn't ever thrown a Wii Party, but it's definitely enhanced parties already going on.
However original the title, the game will include shuffleboard, table hockey, hoop shoot, trivia, darts, ski ball and a game they call "ping cup." The object of ping cup is to use the Wii remote to throw a pong-ping ball at a pyramid of cups. Sounds familiar.
Video game publishers aren't blind to the college population, and they recognize that college kids are playing the Wi a lot. IGN Entertainment revealed this July that the video game publisher Midway will be releasing what is tentatively titled "Party Game."
"It is used as a very fun side show," Friedman says. "Or in many cases, as a great drinking game."
"The Nintendo Wii is an amazing idea," Sams adds. "Take everything gaming already is and make it more tactile. The gaming industry is rare to come up
Wii parties and drinking parties are often combined for more fun.
Sams says that many consoles, like the Playstation Company and Microsoft's Xbox consoles, focus on graphics and high definition and forget to think about what is fun and what brings people together. This attention also makes the other consoles more expensive. The price of the Wii ($250 as compared to Xbox 360's$ 350, and Playstation 3's $500) also makes it ideal for a college student on a budget.
with something that is truly new, we've seen it all."
The next time you plan a party, get your hands on a Wi i and see how much it enhances the festivities. Harrison Hems, El Centro, Calif., sophomore, says his Wii Parties were never planned.
"Most of the time the Will party would turn out to be a Wil Epic, because everyone gets really competitive and wants to be the best," Hems says.
Remember to keep your Wimote strap secure and your friends at arms length, and Wi-party on.

Girl 1: Relay for Life. . is that some sort of anti-abortion fundraiser?
Girl 2: No... I thought it was some cancer-like thing.
Girl 1: Oh... I never know what 'life' means these days.
**Guy 1**: (Looking at his giant styrfoam Sonic cup) Ya know, Sonic really should stop using styrfoam. It leeches into everything and is really bad for the environment.
**Girl 1:** Yeah, I know, geez, even McDonald's did away with those things.
Guy 1: Yeah, but it still won't stop me from going to Sonic and buying giant drinks. It's too good.
Professor: (displaying bottles of wine for class) These are some examples of wines from around the world. We've got a range of quality here, but in general, they're all quite good.
Student: Sutter Home? (referring to a specific bottle)
Girl 1: Well, of course not.
Professor: Well, yes, Sutter Home is questionable. I would have to advise you all, not that I'm advising you to drink wine, but if you are faced with a Sutter Home wine, I would not recommend anything less than 10 dollars. But again, I am NOT advocating drinking.
**Girl**: (a kickball goes flying from her hands and onto Jayhawk Blvd.)
Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball!
**Guy:** Hey..maybe you should say something like, "Help! Police!" or something instead of repeating Ball over and over. Then maybe people would pay attention.

Resurrecting the Champ
Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Hartnett make nice by Chance Dibben
Resurrecting the Champ is another film inspired by a true story, but where most fact-based films fail, this one succeeds. It is vastly superior to the likes of Coach Carter and Freedom Writers because it shows real-life actions resulting in real consequences without exaggerating or over-sentimentizing its central message. Director Rod Lurie handles the story in a rather straightforward style that has a distinctly conversational feel. The result is a film that is genuine and one that never overreaches.
Josh Hartnett plays Erik Kernan Jr., a sportswriter trying to escape the shadow of his father, a great sportscaster from the fitties. After leaving a fight, Erik meets "The Champ" (Samuel L. Jackson), a homeless old-timer who takes beatings from drunken frat boys. The Champ claims to be legendary boxer Bob Satterfield, long thought dead. Recognizing that telling Satterfield's rise-and-fall story through boxing could
lead to bigger and better things, Erik begins a series of interviews with him. Here the film explores journalist-subject relationships, and even though The Champ is Erik's ticket to success, there's never a sense that Erik is exploiting him. Rather we see a mutually beneficial connection develop leading to a very successful article that brings both men fame. However, conflict arises when The Champ's identity is questioned and the events that follow underline how idol worship—be it of athletes or of fathers—can lead to disappointment when our heroes turn out to be human.
Other than Jackson's slightly-over-the-top performance of The Champ (which nevertheless is still quite good) the other actors are excellent, especially Alan Alda as Kernan's editor. Each one feels real and authentic. *Resurrecting the Champ* is a small gem of a movie about the lies we tell each other and the lies we tell ourselves. ★★★★

Troopers to have extra eyes this weekend
Douglas County and Lawrence will both be having check lanes for impaired drivers tonight from 11 p.m. until 2 a.m. Lawrence will also be doing Saturation Patrol today from 5 p.m. until 10:30 p.m.
Kansas is also participating in the Special Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) from Aug. 16 until Sept. 3, which pays for officers to work overtime. Douglas County will be facilitating this program today from 7:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m., which means there will be more officers on patrol than usual.
Last year over Labor Day weekend, there were six fatal car crashes in Kansas, totaling seven deaths, said Lt. John Eichkorn with the Kansas Highway Patrol. In an average weekend in Kansas, there are four fatal crashes.

Spencer Holdren, Topea senior, and Robbie Gordy, Omaha, Neb., junior, prepare for Thursday night's sold-out performance of "Pageant" at Murphy Hall. The show will run tonight and Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
Demand drags show back
BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com
Beauty pageant season might be over with, but it's not stopping the theater department from bringing back one of its most popular shows. "Pageant: The Musical," which features its six leading male stars in drag, began a second goaround Thursday night after a successful summer run. The show will run through Sunday.
"Over the summer, we sold out every performance; we just knew people wanted to see it," said Charla Jenkins, public relations director of the theater department. Thursday night's performance sold out, and tonight's show has sold out as well.
Bill Russell, director and cowriter of "Pageant," said he hoped the second run would give people who haven't seen the show during the summer a chance to watch.
"I was thrilled when it was decided to bring it back," Russell said. "Over the summer, we turned away a lot of people at each show who wanted to buy tickets. We knew there were a lot of people who still wanted to see it and this gives students
Russell said the idea to make "Pageant" was something he wasn't interested in at first, but he was inspired by friends in theater who were touring with the show "42nd Street."
"They got bored and put together this pageant where they were in drag," he said. "Someone suggested making it into a show. So they sent me a videotape and I was on the floor laughing — I thought it was hilarious."
"These men are dressed entirely like women," Jenkins said. "From makeup, wigs, fishnet stockings, they make for good looking women. And they all get into character so well — when I see one of them with a baseball cap on around the building, it's hard to think it's the same person who was a Miss Texas throwing a fit during the show."
The cast consists of six males who will dress in full drag as beauty pageant contestants. The show picks a different "Pageant" winner each performance, so the ending is always different from the last show.
who weren't here over the summer the opportunity to see it as well."
Russell said that the show was more than just men in drag, and it took a great
"This show is very demanding for the actors," Russell said. "They all have to sing and act in high heels, which is hard if you're not used to it. The show was challenging, but all of these guys have risen to the occasion."
deal of skill from the performers.
"Pageant" tickets have been on sale for the past few weeks and have been selling well so far. Linda Hope, theater department audience services manager, said ticket sales had been brisk since the show was announced.
"This summer every show sold out because it's such a delightful show and now the word is out," Hope said. "This time, we're seeing people coming back who saw it over the summer, and I don't remember that ever happening before."
Limited seating is still available for the shows on Saturday and Sunday in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. Tickets cost $10 for students and $15 for the general public, and they are available from the University Theatre, the Lied Center and Student Union Activities.

Accords. Neons top list of stolen cars in Lawrence
Certain car models are more likely to be stolen than others. Of the 86 cars stolen in Lawrence this year, Honda Accords, Dodge Neons and Chevrolet Silverados have been stolen more often than any other models, according to Lawrence Police. In the last two weeks, two Pontiac Grand Ams were reported stolen.
Thieves are more likely to steal cars if they're old, popular among drivers or valuable in other countries. People who steal cars often sell the parts to body shops, said Frank Scafidi, spokesman for the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Scafidi said body shops can sell the stolen parts for less than a dealership.
People in foreign countries also buy stolen cars. Scafidi said they wanted them because sometimes certain models of American cars are not available internationally.
The best ways to avoid theft are simple. Lawrence Police Chief Paul Fellers said to lock your car at all times and always take your keys with you.

If you love solemnity in musicals, where the songs are deep with emotion and the actors are utterly serious-minded and thoughtful, then "Pageant, the 'Musical' isn't something you'll be interested in.
This fun-filled, laugh-a-minute show is about . . . you guessed it—a pageant. As you watch, six contestants will be competing for the title of Miss Glamoureuse.

Tickets are $10 for students and $15
for general admission.
The contestants will sturt their stuff in the swimsuit, evening gown, spokes model and talent categories. With an oily host to guide the sometimes incomprehensible contestants through the events and production numbers, the show promises to be complete hilarity.
Pageant sounds like a musical every guy would be stampeding the theatre to see except for the small, incidental fact that the contestants are played by men in drag.
The play will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and

million copies of its newest album, "All the Right Reasons," plans to release another album in November or December.
Daughtry, the group formed after Chris Daughtry's expulsion from "American Idol," sold more than 1 million copies of its debut album in just five weeks, making it the fastest-selling rock debut album of all time.
Puddle of Mudd, a post-grunge band from Kansas City, Mo., has had its share of rocky moments after two of its members left the group in 2005. This caused the group's most recent album to be delayed for a second time. The album is supposed to finally reach shelves on October 2. Despite the pitfalls, Puddle of Mudd's last three singles have made it to the top 50 of the US Modern Rock charts.

Couple has second set of triplets, expects 300 weekly diaper change $ ^{e} $
CINCINNATI — Already the proud parents of triplets, Victoria and Tim Lasita had decided they wanted to have "one more."
"I guess we should have been more specific and said one more child, not one more set," said Victoria. 39, who delivered the couple's second set of triplets Wednesday after 34 weeks of pregnancy.
The Lasitas conceived both sets of triplets naturally, without fertility treatments.
"Holy smokes. Do you know what the odds of that are?" said Dr. Glen E. Hofmann, medical director of the Bethesda Center for Reproductive Health and Fertility.
The answer: about one in 8,000
for a woman to have triplets naturally, and about one in 64 million of her repeating the feat, according to Hofmann and Dr. Sherif G. Awadalla, medical director of the Institute for Reproductive Health in Cincinnati.
The Lasitas welcomed 4-pound, $2\frac{1}{2}$-ounce Casey Alexander into the world at 1:57 p.m. Wednesday, followed seconds later by 4-pound, $1\frac{3}{2}$-ounce Caden Bradley, and 2 minutes later by 4-pound, $9\frac{1}{2}$-ounce Carson Charles. All were between $17\frac{1}{2}$ and 18 inches long.
"Everybody seems to be doing well," said the father, 48, who watched the Caesarean-section births in a delivery room filled with 18 medical personnel.
It's still unclear when the triplets will go home to live with Jessica, Jillian and Brian, who will turn 4 in December.
WILLS POINT, Texas — Entomologists are debating the origin and rarity of a sprawling spider web that blankets several trees, shrubs and the ground along a 200-yard stretch of trail in a North Texas park.
Those three were born at 28 weeks, and all weighed less than 3 pounds at birth. Lung problems contributed to "a little rocky start," Victoria Lasita said, but overall, they're healthy.
The Lasitas said the new triplets will mean about 300 diaper changes a week, and about 168 bottles.

Spiders spin web of wonder on Texas park trail
"At first, it was so white it looked like fairyland," said Donna Garde, superintendent of the park about 45 miles east of Dallas. "Now it's filled with so many mosquitoes that it's turned a little brown. There are times you can literally hear the screech of millions of mosquitoes caught in those webs."
Spider experts say the web may have been constructed by social cobweb spiders, which work together, or could be the result of a mass dispersal in which the arachnids spin webs to spread out from one another.
Officials at Lake Tawakoni State Park say the massive mosquito trap is a big attraction for some visitors, while others won't go anywhere
"There are a lot of folks that don't realize spiders do that"; said Jackman, author of "A Field Guide to the Spiders and Scorpions of Texas."

Grand Theft Auto: Lawrence
Simple measures can keep thieves away
way
BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com
Here's a tip for any Pontiac Grand Am owner reading this article: Put down the paper and make sure your car is locked.
That message goes for people who drive Honda Accords and Dodge Neons, too.
Owners should pay attention because those cars have been stolen more often than any other kind in Lawrence. Certain car models are greater targets for theft because of their age, foreign value and popularity with drivers.
According to Lawrence Police, 86 cars have been stolen in Lawrence this year as of August 15. Of those stolen, four were Neons. Accords and Chevrolet Silverados were next on the list with three reported thefts each. Grand Am are hot items on police reports now. Since August 17, two of them have been reported stolen, and a previously stolen Grand Am was recovered.
One of the stolen cars is a 1993 model. Old cars are stolen more often because they usually don't have an
advanced security system, said Frank Scafidi, spokesman for the National Insurance Crime Bureau. They also contain parts people could be looking for to fix their cars. Scafidi said
thieves would often steal an old car, remove its parts and sell them to a body shop. Scafidi said lots of body shops engaged in stolen trade so they could offer the parts at prices lower than a dealership.
"Some other places won't even allow American cars, so there's always a thirst for them in other markets."
Although none of the top stolen cars in Lawrence are luxury cars, vehicles such as BMW's, Hummers and Cadillac Escalades are also likely to be stolen. Thieves steal these cars
FRANK SCAFIDI National Insurance Crime Bureau spokesman
Cars stolen most often this year:
to ship them to other countries and sell them on a black market, Scafidi said. He said foreign groups sometimes requested certain types of cars they desired, and thieves in the United States would steal them to make a sale.
Dodge Neon-four thefts
Lawrence auto thefts
Honda Accord- three thefts
Chevrolet Silverado- three thefts
Scafidi said
GMC Sierra- two thefts
Information from the Lawrence Police Department
some car models were targets for theft simply because there were more of them on the road. According to Automotive News, Silverados were the No. 2 selling car in America in 2006. Accords ranked fifth. Nick Blume, a Hays senior who owns a Grand Am, said he'd seen plenty of his model on Lawrence roads.
"Everywhere you look, it seems like there's a car like mine," he said. "If you're going to steal a car, there's obviously a greater percentage of taking this car."
Edited by Kyle Carter
"Some other places won't even allow American cars, so there's always a thirst for them in other markets." Scafidi said. "So if you have a dozen Escalades, that will go for good money."
Lawrence Police Sergeant Paul Fellers and Scafidi advised owners to lock their doors and never leave their car running unattended to avoid theft. Scafidi also said to roll up windows, take keys with you and not leave valuables in plain sight. Those, he said, are the easiest and cheapest
ways to keep your car from being added to the list of the most stolen. Blume keeps his Grand Am safe by using an alarm system and locking his car.
"Robberies happen a lot in college towns," he said. "You just have to lock it every time."

Impaired drivers targeted by police

are also all participating in
car crashes, while in an average weekend in 2006 there were four fatal crashes. Captain Tim Hull, the director of the public information and education division of the Missouri Highway Patrol, said there were 18 people killed in Missouri over Labor Day weekend last year from various causes.
"It itms because of the high volume of traffic, and because a lot of people do make plans for the weekend, there is a higher propensity for wrecks to happen," said Lt. Kari Wempe, the Public/Policy Information Officer for the Douglas County Sheriff's Department.

"We will be joining with other law enforcement participants and really looking for that impaired driver, because there will be those people who have not listened to our precautions," Eichkorn said.

Eichhorn said in Kansas there were seven deaths over the Labor Day weekend in 2006 from six fatal
the Special Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) that pays for officers to work overtime. The work will be continuing all weekend as well. Douglas County will be facilitating STEP today from 7:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m., meaning that more officers will be on patrol during that time.
Missouri this weekend, Hull said they would be making use of every officer and putting every officer they could on the road during the travelling period, including vacation areas such as the Ozarks.
"Officers will be in that area and focused on major highways and the back ways to get there," Hull said. "They'll be looking for everything, including speeding and those under the influence of drugs or alcohol."
Eichorn said the goal was to do what they can to reduce the number of wrecks they saw last year.
Houston, Nowak can lose monitoring bracelet
"It's imperative for our people to plan for this weekend, because there is a whole new group of 21-year-olds out there who may consider drinking at these celebrations and then getting on the road," Eichkorn said.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Former astronaut Lisa Nowak can remove an electronic monitoring bracelet from her ankle while she awaits trial on charges she attacked a romantic rival, a judge ruled Thursday.

Nowak is also barred from neighboring Maryland, Delaware and Washington,D.C., without court approval, according to the filing.
Nowak, a Navy captain, is still under the previous bond of $25,500. Lubet wrote.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Educating yourself may prevent a mortgage crisis The current housing slump offers a dark lesson to borrowers
students often come to KU in eager anticipation of becoming adults
tion of becoming adults and enjoying the responsibilities that come with that. By graduation, some dread the "real world" burdens they expect and long for the carefree days of mom, dad and a dean. Although some state and local governments are eager to step into the role of a benevolent protector, this paternalism is belittling and unjust and true adults would do well to resist.
Buying a house has always been a large responsibility and, as housing prices rose through the last decade, it has also become an increasingly expensive one. Many have found themselves priced out of mortgages with traditional rates and terms since their more modest incomes cast doubt on their abilities to make climbing mortgage payments. Because of this risk, lenders require more of a return on leaching to them. Thus the proliferation of sub-prime lending and the subsequent widespread defaulting as risky borrowers live up to their label.
In true American fashion, though, government agencies are rushing to save borrowers from themselves. One state in particular, Illinois, has attempted to institute a program requiring borrower education before signing on for a sub-prime loan. As outlined in the Wall Street Journal, people in particular areas will need to meet with a credit counselor before agreeing to a loan with nonstandard features.
The justifications politicians give all smack of arrogance. "People aren't sure what they're signing up for," President Bush said.
Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan said, "Our goal is to stop the abuse of unsophisticated people." The "solution" involves creating a monopoly for a few government-approved counselors who have expressed fear they can't accommodate the expected number of potential clients.
Illinois already has laws restricting unfair credit practices from lenders. If there are new schemes being used, these laws can be updated to include them. Giving the consumer the impression that government is looking out for him will ultimately make
the market more risky as lenders feel no need to monitor something that is supposedly already being managed.
Few students are in the real estate market while in school, but as any recent graduate will testify, it will happen sooner than you think. With such a large purchase comes a large responsibility to know and understand the issues. A house should not be an impulse buy, and no one should be surprised that it requires research. For nearly all Americans, their homes are the most expensive items they will ever buy. As we graduate and move into the dreaded "real world," we should accept this responsibility instead of looking for a government agency to manage it for us.

THE DURBIN DISPATCH
Television exacerbates American materialism Reality shows give unrealistic expectations of wealth and power
CHELSEA DURBIN
Growing up Gotti is something the majority of us are not
jority of us are not familiar with. In fact, most of us probably come from middle class families where BMWs, flights to Paris, and personal chefs are highly uncommon. But with America's sudden overexposure to materialism-driven TV shows, commercials and lifestyles, it's easy to question whether or not we are slowly demoralizing ourselves and our concept of reality.
It's my own personal belief that TV is in fact the "gateway drug" to the underlying materialism that drives our country. But just like a majority of the world, I too have fallen victim. However, it's hard not to question the messages being portrayed on such shows as "My Super Sweet 16," "Growing up Gotti," "The
MOUNTAIN DEW AT MIDNIGHT
Let's take "My Super Sweet 16," for example. The main purpose of the show is for MTV to demonstrate to the world that there are families in America who live and participate in shamelessly excessive lifestyles.
Hills" and "The Fabulous Life Of." One would like to believe that the economic status being portrayed on these "reality" television shows would not have an influence over its viewers, but in all reality, they do.
I believe it's fair to say that a $500,000 birthday party is a "little" excessive. This show is a result of the modern fascination of extreme wealth and status symbols, and the only message being portrayed is "I want, and I get!" The media is at fault with shows such as this. Rather then celebrating righteousness or good will, or promoting concepts such as kindness, personal responsibility, tolerance or love for humanity, they produce shows that celebrate vanity, greed, instant gratification, self-indulgence and obsession with fame and fortune. Wouldn't it be a better message for MTV, and for the world, to base a show on helping less-fortunate families throw parties for their sixteen-year-olds?
The argument here is not that TV is inherently evil, or that it's
at all bad. Honestly, I love TV, but as a society, why are we allowing ourselves to openly invite materialistic views into our living room? Do we as a country look to our possessions to bring us happiness?
We have become so successful in manipulating the world that we now believe we can solve all of our problems by altering our surroundings. It's horrible to think that we go through life believing happiness is obtained by what we have or what we do. Receiving a Ferrari instead of a birthday cake is a prime example of materialism invading our culture.

A customers' guide to food court etiquette When going through the cashier's line, remember some basic manners
JENNY HARTZ
JENNY HARTZ
At the start of your job, your boss hands you a book roughly the size of the Bible and asks you to read it. You glance at the title: "Employee Handbook." To save you time, all employee handbooks boil down to these three points. One, smile and get along with everyone even if they're stupid (including your boss). Two, you should always be busy, look busy or act busy. Three, the dress code does not allow open-toed shoes, but mullets are okay.
After you work for a while, you realize life is unfair. Your required work shirt totally clashes with your hair. I mean, you realize it's unfair that you have been trained rigorously to properly deal with customers, but they don't know how to properly deal with you. Instead of asking nicely if you can help them, they whine, because apparently you should be able to read their minds and instantly give them what they want.
So today, I present to you "The Customer Handbook." These rules can apply to any customer-employee situation but are definitely written with KU dining in mind. I work for the Market, the food court in the Kansas Union. We get a lot of silly customers coming in (silly meaning stupid, but I've been trained to not use such demeaning labels). I believe, through the Reader's Digest condensed version of "The Customer Handbook," people everywhere can learn to be better customers. Or at least pretend they are.
Rule 1: Everything is expensive. Even the napkins. There is nothing the cashier can do about it, so don't gripe at them. It's your own fault you can't read the price signs and add.
Rule 2: Don't put your card in your mouth (your KU ID, your
credit card, your library card, etc) and then hand it to the cashier. That's gross. We already handle money which has been who knows where (probably All Stars), so don't add to it.
Rule 3: Look before you ask. If you don't know how much something costs, you
look for a sign and then, gasp,
read it. I know it takes a lot of
effort to move your eyes back
and forth, but try it. If you're
not sure where something is,
once again, use your eyes. Make
a complete 360-degree turn if
necessary. You will then see that
the straws are in a cubby right
below the lids.
Rule 4: Clean up after yourself. We are not your mother, nor do we get paid enough to be. If you spill five cups on the floor please pick them up. Then put them back for other customers to use because everyone loves the new Coca-Cola Unsanitary. Throw away any trash you have. No one is going to eat your left-over straw wrappers, not even the vegans. And standing there, gasping, and repeatedly saying, "I'm so sorry!" doesn't mop up a spill.
Rule 5: Don't put your card in your mouth.
Rule 6: Don't wear headphones or talk on the phone when dealing with a cashier. You need to hear us when we tell you we don't take your type of credit card because we have a personal vendetta against you. Put your music on pause or tell your friend she'll have to wait before complaining how unfair it was that so-and-so got kicked off "American Idol."

Perfect ACT earns freshman full ride
BY JEFF DETERS
jdeters@kansan.com
Like many high school students, Edward J. Fensholt took his ACT test twice. The first time he scored a 34, and on the second attempt he scored a perfect 36. But for Fensholt the two additional points turned out to be worth about $58,000.
Fensholt, an Olathe freshman, earned the University of Kansas Perfect Achievement Scholarship with his perfect score. The scholarship, established in 2004, covers various expenses for four years, including tuition, room and board in a residence hall and books. Fensholt, KU's fourth recipient of the scholarship, said he prepared for the tests the same way each time.
"Both times all I did was help some of my friends study," Fensholt said.
Even with such high ACT scores, Fensholt said he was never that interested in attending an Ivy League school like Harvard or Yale.
"The campus and whole environment of Lawrence really appealed to me," Fensholt said. "I always planned on going to KU."
Fensholt is majoring in microbiology and said he had developed a fondness for one particular area of study.
"I'm really interested in science, specifically virology," Fensholt said.
Fensholt helps conduct research on that topic at the Multicultural Resource Center, and in the future, Fensholt has two goals he wants to achieve.
"I'd like to continue on and get a PhD in microbiology, and then become a research scientist," he said.
Matt Zimmerman, Olathe freshman, is Fensholt's roommate. The two went to high school together, and Zimmerman said Fensholt had always treated others with respect.
"He's a genuine great guy," Zimmerman said. "He won't, as smart as he is, make anyone feel stupid."
Zimmerman added that Fensholt also knew there was a time for work and a time for play.
"He's far from being a bookworm," Zimmerman said. "He goes out and has fun. He's not like in his books all the time."
For fun, Fensholt enjoys playing golf and ultimate frisbee and hangs
out with his friends. He will attend his first KU football game as a student on Saturday.
"I'm excited about that," he said.
While Fensholt has only been on campus for a few weeks, KU has already made an impression on him.

"I absolutely love it," he said. "This college thing is great."
Fensholt is one of a string of family members who have attended the University. His father, Ed, was a journalism major and graduated with a law degree in 1984. His older brother Brian attended the University, and his younger sister Rebecca is also a freshman this year.
Fensholt's father said that, for now, he wanted his son to enjoy college life and just be a kid. And when Edward enters the workforce, the family won't measure his success

in money. They will measure it in meaning.
"We just want him to be happy, enjoy what he's doing," his father said. "Whether he's making $50,000
or $500,000, it doesn't matter. As long as he gets up in the morning and enjoys what he's doing."

Award funds future entrepreneurs
BY JEFF DETERS
jdeters@kansan.com
This fall, business students at the University of Kansas will have the opportunity to compete for more than $7,000 to help them start their own businesses.
Undergraduates will compete for the Mark L. Morris Jr. New Venture Development Award, which was named in honor of the 1952-54 KU student and entrepreneur who died in January. The award program is being funded by a $250,000 donation from Morgan Creek Capital Management, Morris's financial consulting company.
Students will compete individually or in teams of three. They must prepare a three- to five-page business plan summary that details information such as the kind of business they are proposing, why customers would purchase the product and various financial aspects of running the business like managing costs and
profits.
Wally Meyer, director of entrepreneurship programs, helped develop the competition and said the contest was unique because very few schools had a similar program for undergraduates.
"This is an opportunity for all those KU undergraduates who have ever had a dream of starting a business," he said. "They capture that dream in form of a business plan, submit it, and they may well earn over $7,000 to start the business."
The top 10 winners will receive $200 and will be invited to a dinner where the final four business plan winners will be announced. Those four winners will receive $2,000 and the winning individual or group will win an additional $5,000 for a grand total of $7,200.
Winners can spend the money on whatever resources they need to start the business. Meyer said that could be anything from research to purchasing real estate. Meyer said
student response has been high.
"Students are now motivated to prepare business plans, and some of them have indicated they plan on entering the contest and starting their businesses after graduation, thereby providing themselves with their own employment," he said.
Meyer said the key to a successful business started with good planning.
"Execute the business plan," he said. "They'll have two things that they need to give them the best chance for success: No. 1, they'll have a business plan, which is absolutely critical to achieving success and No. 2 if they'll have a start at the money they need to raise."
Jason Bentley, Olathe senior, will take part in the competition. He'll work on his own.
"I have always been interested in starting my own business," he said. "This competition is a great opportunity to take another positive step toward making that goal a reality. It is free to enter, the guidelines are simple and the awards are very generous"
Brooks Morgan, Overland Park senior, also said he planned to enter the competition. He wants to build his business from the ground up.
"I am interested in entrepreneurship because it gives you the chance to start with something as small as an idea, and that single idea can fuel the creation of something great," he said.
Business plans should be submitted no later than Nov. 29. The KU Center for Entrepreneurship will be available to assist students with their business plans throughout the semester. A review panel will select winners at a dinner Dec. 6. For more information on the competition, go to www.business.ku.edu/FacultyResearchCenter-Competition.

Women kick off season in Hawaii
BY ALISON CUMBOW cumbow@kansan.com
The KU women's soccer team, en route to the Ohana Hotels & Resorts No Ka Oi Tournament, will open its season this weekend in Hawaii.
It will mark the fifth time in 13 years that Kansas will have opened a season on the road.
Today the team will play against Hawaii and on Saturday it will face off against Auburn.
Eighteen letter winners and nine starters return to the KU women's soccer team this season and 10 new players have been added to the roster as well. The Web maga-

1-7 overall and 6-4 in the Big 12.
This weekend's first opponent, Hawaii finished 8-11-2 in 2006, and placed sixth in the Western Athletic Conference. Hawaii has 17 letter winners and 10 starters returning, while five new additions will complete the roster.
Today's game will be Kansas' first time playing against Hawaii and its first time playing against a Western Athletic Conference school.
The Jayhawks' second opponent of the weekend, Auburn, won the Western Division in the Southeastern Conference last season. The Tigers finished 11-6-3 overall, and also made an NCAA tournament appearance. They have 17 returning letter winners and seven starters.
Both games will kick off at midnight CST, which is 7 p.m. in Hawaii.

Fans will see differences in tailgating, parking lots
BY THOR NYSTROM
tnystrom@kansan.com
The Athletics Department hopes that educating fans in advance about changes to the landscape surrounding Memorial Stadium will help them navigate the area on Saturday at Kansas' season opener.
Athletics Director Lew Perkins sent an estimated 100,000 e-mails to football fans Wednesday, describing changes to normal game day routine.
"I think by Saturday fans will already know where to go," Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said. "They know now where they will park, so I don't think there will be any surprises. I would encourage folks to come early for the first game because it will be different from what they remember in the past."
Tailgating will continue on Campanile Hill despite construction in the surrounding area. A boundary line to indicate where tailgating is allowed has been established.

The first thing KU fans will notice when they arrive at Memorial Stadium on Saturday is the construction on Campanile

"We've had a good preseason and practices have been good since
Mangino
school started, so I'm pleased with the direction we're going," coach Mark Mangino said. "Based on what I see on the practice field, I think we're about where we should be."
Kansas starts the season against Central Michigan at 6 p.m. on Saturday. The Jayhawks have made some major adjustments since last season's disappointing 6-6 finish in hopes of returning to the postseason.
Cramming all of the necessary preparation into one month of preseason practice
is not easy for any team, let alone one that has made as many offseason adjustments as Kansas. The team made personnel changes in the winter, tweaked some things in the spring, worked on conditioning through the summer and attempted to put all the pieces in place this August.
The most important change happened near the top of the program. After five-year veteran Nick Quartaro resigned as offensive coordinator in December, Kansas hired Ed Warinner away from the University of Illinois to fill the void. Warinner has brought a strong running game to most of the teams he has coached, but he could bring Kansas
versatility in the passing game and simplification on the sideline.
"We wanted to make it user-friendly," Warinner said. "Once the players learn the base concepts, we are able to adjust off of it. It's different in some ways, but we think it's

pretty user-friendly for the players."
game would open up the field for the running game.
New players will be executing Warinner's offense, most notably sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing. He played in parts of three games last season with mixed results, and will make his first start this weekend. In his limited action, Reeing has been exciting but inconsistent.
Reeing, an Austin, Texas, native, showcased a strong arm and the ability to escape the pocket and gain yardage in the open field. He passed for three touchdowns and ran for two more, but also threw three interceptions. Reeing officially won the starting quarterback job nearly two weeks ago after battling sophomore Kerry Meier for playing time through the spring and preseason.
"I've been in here every day watching film on Central Michigan." Reeing said. "I'm trying to get the best edge I can to go into my first start and the best I can to prove there is a reason I won this job."
Reeing could be delivering the ball to a few new Jayhawks. Running back Carmon Boyd-Anderson and wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe, both freshmen, are listed on the depth chart and should play this weekend. Briscoe is a lanky wide-out who could return
punts and Boyd-Anderson is a balanced running back similar to former Kansas star Jon Cornish.
"I'd say as a freshman, Carmon is as good as or more talented than any guys I've seen," said senior fullback Brandon McAnderson. "He came in and had a camp that was very successful. He had some big runs, some nice runs, he's a smooth runner."
Joining the group of ready-to-play youngsters is freshman cornerback Chris Harris. Harris quickly secured the starting spot left vacant because of a preseason injury to junior cornerback Kendrick Harper. Harris is small and inexperienced, but Mangino said his confidence and attitude set him apart from most young players.
The season-opener will not only provide football-obsessed fans with plenty to digest: There will also be a treat for aesthetically inclined observers — brand new uniforms. The Jayhawks' redesigned jerseys, which feature the Trajan font, are distinctly different from last year's uniforms.
After all the waiting and work of the 2006 offseason, the real work begins Saturday.

Women set to wage battle at Spartan Invitational
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
After finishing 2-1 last weekend in the season opening Oregon Invitational in Eugene, Ore., Kansas travels to East Lansing, Mich., to play in the Spartan Invitational. Home team Michigan State, Missouri State and Florida State await Kansas.
Don't tell coach Ray Bechard that the Kansas volleyball team is playing three tough teams this weekend. He knows it.

Bechard
Michigan State hails from the Big 10, one of the nation's pre-eminent volleyball conferences, while Florida State comes from the ACC, another top conference. Missouri State, a school from the smaller Missouri Valley conference, made the NCAA tournament last season.
Kansas suffered from 27 attacking errors and three service errors in its loss to Oregon. Bechard said the problem was a combination of freshman mistakes and first-game jitters.
"We stumbled last week against Oregon," Bechard said, referring to another opponent from a poor conference.

Another storyline to watch heading into this weekend's action is the continued devel-

Freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser led the team with 3.1 kills per game during the Oregon Invitational while sophomore transfer Flavia Lino outside hitter, was second, posting 2.9 kills per game. Another newcomer, freshman libero Melissa Manda, averaged 3.8 digs per team to lead
the team. Veteran senior setter Emily Brown racked up 6.5 assists per game, while sophomore setter Katie Martincich, last year's team leader in assists, had 5.1 assists per game in Oregon.

opponents at a glance
Michigan State (0-3)
Florida State (2-0)
On the heels of a 19-2 record, the Spartans advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season for the first time since 2003. But Michigan State stumbled in its opening weekend, losing to No. 6 Southern California; 3-0, St. John's, 3-0, and Loyola Marymount, 3-1. Senior outside hitter Ashley Schatzie, an All-Big 10 performer last year, is the top returning offensive player after posting 5 kills per game and 4.36 digs per game.
Florida State is 2-0 this season after weekend opening wins against UNC Asheville, 3-0, and TCU, 3-1. Florida State finished 19-12 last year, including a 13-9 record in the ACC, but failed to make the NCAA tournament. Look out for Junior transfer outside hitter Mira Djuric. Djuric led the Seminoles with 5.43 kills per
game last weekend. Most importantly, sand volleyball superstar Gabrielle Reece is a Florida State alum. Reece played for the Seminoles from 1987 to 1990.
Missouri State (4-0)
The university formerly known as Southwest Missouri State is making a name for itself in volleyball. The Bears are 4-0 on the season, but did most of their damage playing against smaller schools UMKC, Tulane, Delaware State and Sacramento State. But while Missouri State can't claim to be from a power conference, it can claim to a power program. The Bears finished 27-9 last season and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament, while becoming the second program in NCAA volleyball history with 1,000 victories. Missouri State only trails UCLA on the all-time wins list.

Rivalry games highlight weekend
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Games of the Week:
OKLAHOMA STATE AT NO.
13 GEORGIA
This game could be a shoot-out. With wide receiver Adarius Bowman, running back Dantrell Savage and quarterback Bobby Reid, the Cowboys possess one of the most dangerous offenses in the country.
The Bulldogs offense is just as explosive. Sophomore quarterback Matthew Stafford was one of the most highly recruited players in the nation out of high school two years ago. Stafford has an arsenal of experienced receivers and a trio of great running backs in Kregg Lumpkin, Thomas Brown and Knowshon Moreno.
Oklahoma State's defense isn't nearly as talented. Georgia has the talent on defense but is relying on a number of underclassmen in the secondary.
KANSAS STATE AT NO.18
AUBURN
Kansas State hasn't lost a season opener since 1990. But none of those games were at Auburn.
The Wildcats' offense is young but undeniably talented. The Tigers' defense is experienced and battle-tested from playing in the Southeastern Conference.
Auburn is going to come at Kansas State sophomore quarterback Josh Freeman with defensive ends Quentin Groves and Sen'Derrick Marks in hopes of rattling Freeman early. Tiger free safety Aairon Savage will lurk deep looking for passes to intercept.
Kansas State will count on sophomore running back Leon Patton and senior wide receiver Jordy Nelson making big plays to silence the hostile crowd at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
MISSOURI VS. ILLINOIS
These two contrasting offenses will meet at the Edwards Jones Dome in St. Louis for an opening day border-rivalry game.
Missouri junior quarterback Chase Daniel threw for more than 3,500 yards' last season and could find success against a young Illinois defense. The Fighting Illini's offense is rush-first as sophomore quarterback Juice Williams is lethal on the ground but only completed 39.5 percent of his passes last season.
Illinois coach Ron Zook continues to rake in top recruiting classes without much to show for it. Zook is only 4-19 since taking over at Illinois. He'll be hoping all the young talent finally comes to fruition Saturday. And the Illini will need every bit of it to keep up with the Tigers.
NO. 15 TENNESSEE AT NO.
12 CALIFORNIA
This match-up in Berkeley, Calif. is the only one in college football to feature two ranked teams.
The Golden Bears and the Volunteers look very similar on paper as both boast one of the nation's best quarterbacks, lost their biggest play maker and are inexperienced on defense.
Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge completed 67 percent of his passes in 2006 while throwing for almost 3,000 yards. California quarterback Nate Longshore completed 60 percent of his passes in 2006 while throwing for more than 3,000 yards.
It will obviously be a battle through the air at Memorial Stadium.
GEORGIA TECH AT NOTRE DAME
These are two nationallyrenowned programs that are both entering rebuilding years in 2007.
The Yellow Jackets lost superstar wide receiver Calvin Johnson and the Fighting Irish lost superstar quarterback Brady Quinn to the NFL Draft. Both were faces of their respective programs and life without them is hard to fathom.
For Georgia Tech, senior running back Tashard Choice will carry a much bigger workload without Johnson.
Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis still hasn't announced a starting quarterback but many suspect true freshman Jimmy Clafsen will be on the field Saturday. Clausen has been referred to as the most technically sound quarterback out of high school in the history of the sport.
It will be interesting to see how each of these teams responds without the leaders they are used to.
Other Games:
COLORADO VS.
COLORADO STATE
The Buffaloes had defeated the Rams three straight years before last year's contest. Both teams have very good defenses but may not be capable of scoring many points.
NEVADA AT NO. 20
NEBRASKA
This game is not an automatic win for the Cornhuskers. The Wolf Pack return seven starters from a defense that was the best in the Western Athletic Conference last season.
ARKANSA STATE AT NO.
4 TEXAS
The Indians return all their important pieces from a 6-6 season last year. But traveling to Austin, Texas, and playing the Longhorns in week one is simply unfair.
NORTH TEXAS AT NO.8 OKLAHOMA
The focus of this game will be on new Sooner quarterback Sam Bradford. He will face a North Texas defense that returns 10 starters.
MONTANA STATE AT TEXAS A&M
The Mustangs will be excited to welcome the Red Raiders to Gerald J. Ford Stadium on Monday night and thinking upset, but SMU has been
The Division 1-AA Bobcats shocked the Big 12 last year with an opening day win at Colorado. Montana State may find it a little harder to leave College Station, Texas, with a victory.
TEXAS TECH AT SOUTH- ERN METHODIST
unable to slow down TTU coach Mike Leach's offense in the past and hasn't beaten their in-state rival in almost 20 years.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
TCU enters the season with a lot of attention because of its 12-2 record last year. The Bears hope to throw the Horned Frogs off course with standout middle linebacker Joe Pawlek.
IDAHO AT NO. 1 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Everyone is calling for USC to go undefeated and play in the national championship game this year. The Trojans' first obstacle in getting there are the Vandals, who haven't had a winning season in eight years.

TEPPER

WESTERN MICHIGAN AT NO. 3 WEST VIRGINIA
The Broncos were picked as the preseason favorite to win the Mid American Conference. But first, Western Michigan has to attempt to stop West Virginia's talented quarterback Pat White and running back Steve Slaton.
APPALACHIAN STATE AT NO. 5 MICHIGAN
Appalachian State is the two-time defending Division 1-AA national champions. Michigan was one game away from playing in last year's Division 1-A championship, though.
WESTERN KENTUCKY AT NO. 6 FLORIDA
California quarterback Nate Longshore completed 60 percent of his passes last year while throwing for over 3,000 yards. California hosts Tennessee in a top 15 showdown Saturday.
The Gators will start their national title defense against the Hilltoppers. Florida returns only two defensive starters but Western Kentucky loses its quarterback and top rusher.
The Badgers only weakness may be their secondary. The Cougars will look to exploit that with one of the Pac 10's best quarterbacks, senior Alex Brink.
WASHINGTON STATE AT NO. 7 WISCONSIN
EAST CAROLINA AT NO. 9
VIRGINIA TECH
This will be an emotional game for both Virginia Tech players and fans after last April's tragic events. The Pirates are looking for an upset coming off of their first bowl game in five years.
YOUNGSTOWN STATE AT NO.11 OHIO STATE
The Buckeyes will unleash new starting quarterback Todd Boeckman on the Penguins. Junior middle linebacker James Laurinatis will start his run at the Butkus Award, which is given to the nation's top linebacker.
NO.14 UCLA AT STANFORD
The Bruins have an astounding 20 starters returning from a team that
beat USC last season. With the leadership of quarterback Drew Olson and safety Chris Horton, UCLA has a chance at a BCS Bowl this year and should breeze past Stanford.
NO.19 FLORIDA STATE AT CLEMSON
Seminole coach Bobby Bowden takes on his son Tommy Bowden's Clemson Tigers Monday night. Clemson had the fifth ranked rushing offense last year with CJ Spiller and James Davis. Both will play against Florida State, which had the nation's 12th best rushing defense last season, and returns four of its front seven.

Hoglund clubhouse construction on the way
shroyer@kansan.com
BY SHAWN SHROYER
It's only a matter of time before groundbreaking will take place at Hoglund Ballpark for the Kansas baseball team's clubhouse.
Construction on the clubhouse was originally planned to begin soon after Kansas' 2007 season. But the project has gained additional funding and grown in scale since, resulting in delays.
When the athletics department began planning for the clubhouse the department didn't know how much it was going to cost, said Sean Lester, Associate Athletics Director of Internal Affairs. "Then you get into it and you're like, 'Wow, we really want to do this, so let's allocate some more dollars.' So we had to allocate some more money towards that project because it's going to be such a great one."
The clubhouse is now being estimated at $1.7 million and 6,500 square feet, but will still be built behind the bleachers down the first base line.
It will feature a locker room area and lounge for the players, although
Lester said the lounge wouldn't be as swank as it sounds. It will actually be more of a study hall for the players to use between classes. The coaches will have their own game day offices in the clubhouse, while their main offices are expected to remain in Allen Fieldhouse. For visitors, the clubhouse will include a reception area where the baseball team will display trophies, awards and pay tribute to former greats who came through the program.
Perhaps no one is more excited about the coming clubhouse than Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price. He said Kansas was the only Big 12 school without a baseball clubhouse. Price called the clubhouse the "final piece of the puzzle" to helping Kansas compete with Big 12 schools and top programs in the region for recruiting.
"It's been a five-year process here as we've tried to rebuild the program," Price said. "The facilities in our conference are as good as any place in America, so when you're recruiting against Nebraska, Arkansas and Wichita State, it's imperative that we can offer the same type of facilities for our players."

Celebrating 50 Years of Service!
Lester said the department has finished approximately 50 percent of the design and bidding is underway to find a contractor. He expects a contractor to be in place within two or three weeks. Once construction begins, Lester said the project could take anywhere from eight to 10 months to complete.
"If we get the right construction company and they're doing all the right things, then it could be a lot faster and that's our goal," Lester said. "We want to fast track this thing as fast as possible. Our belief is, if we're going to do something, we're going to do it right, or we're not going to do it at all. Because it's going to be there a long time."

COMMENTARY
Felony football armed, ready
FEDERAL TRAINING CORP.
Adisturbing trend has escalated over the past years. A growing number of professional and college football players have been convicted or charged with felonies. If this behavior continues, Hollywood could remake "The Longest Yard" again and be able to field a professional football team. Here are the top players who qualify for that squad.
BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
BKRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM
Quarterback—With the events that have taken place over the summer and into the NFL preseason, Michael Vick is a lock for quarterback. His guilty plea to the dog-fighting charges will likely lead to at least a year in prison and a guaranteed spot on this football team of felons.
Running back—Ricky Williams is an anomaly. He violated the NFLs substance abuse policy four times when he was in Miami after he led the league in rushing in 2002. He retired and then tried to play in the Canadian Football League. Williams came back to the Dolphins last season only to be suspended. He will not be back with the Dolphins but will always have a spot on this troubled squad, or with the Bengals.
Fullback—According to espn. com, in 2002, Najeh Davenport was charged with a second-degree felony count of burglary and a misdemeanor count of criminal mischief after he broke into a college dormitory and defecated in a
woman's closet. Davenport pleaded not guilty, according to espn.com. These charges follow players for the rest of their careers, which makes Davenport a candidate for this team.
Wide receiver—The Carolina Panthers a both had good starts in their franchise histories. But the Rae Carruth scandal harmed the Panther image. According to about.com, Carruth was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. He also shot into an occupied vehicle and used an instrument to destroy an unborn child. Right now, he is serving his 19 to 23 year sentence, according to courtTV.com. His spot on this squirrel is secure.
Tight End—According the newstribune.com, Jerramy Stevens was arrested in March on drunken driving and marjuana charges. This incident and a history of character problems on the field open up a starting tight end spot on the squad of felons.
Offensive Line—Don Yeager wrote in the book "Pros and Cons: The Criminals who Play in the NFL" that when Ryan Tucker
was drafted by the St. Louis Rams he was awaiting trial for assault. Yeager said after the incident Tucker left his victim paralyzed and brain-damaged. When coach Dick Vermeil was asked about the incident he replied, "He can finish a fight. That's a positive." Yes, a positive way to make it onto this squad of criminals.
Defensive Line—According to espn.com, Tank Johnson spent two months in jail after violating probation on gun charges. This prompted commissioner Roger Goodell to suspend Johnson for eight games of the 2007 season. He'll have plenty of time to play with these troubled players now.
Linebacker—According to espn com, Odell Thurman was initially supposed to be suspended for four games after missing a scheduled drug screening. "That suspension changed when he was arrested on DUI charges September 26, 2006, reported espn.com. Thurman applied for reinstatement for the upcoming season but was denied. He won't be denied on this team.
Cornerback—This position goes without saying. Pacman Jones is the obvious choice. His incident in Las Vegas is just the tip of the iceberg for why Roger Goodell suspended him for the season. According to espn.com, he was arrested before his rookie season even began when he was charged with assault and felony vandalism. Jones can "make it rain" with Vick and company on
this team.
Safety—The San Diego Chargers can take pleasure in the fact that they have the best player in the National Football League. According to a 2006 story in the Washington Post, Chargers safety Terrence Kiel was arrested on charges of transporting and possessing a controlled substance. Kiel was shipping codeine-based cough syrup to Texas, according to the story. A drug operation is a definite way to get a spot on this team.
Punter—The only college player on this team is the punter. According to usatoday.com, Mitch Cozad was charged with attempted first-degree murder and second-degree assault for trying to injure the Northern Colorado first-string punter Rafael Mendoza. Cozed wanted his starting spot. This is possibly the most bizarre sports-related crime ever.
Kicker—Bar fight are far too common among NFL players, but who would expect a kicker to be involved in a bar brawl? According to yahoo.com, Lawrence Tynes was charged with breaking a bouncer's nose. The criminal team wouldn't be complete without a kicker.
It is sad to see professional and college players resorting to such behavior. Roger Goodell is on the right track to cleaning up the NFL, and hopefully the players will start to clean up their act.

DUBLIN, Ireland — A star of Ireland's Gaelfa football league was exposed Thursday as a director of an illegal dog-fighting club, an underground gambling activity that has wrecked the reputation and career of Atlanta Falcons football player Michael Vick.
The 17-month undercover investigation by BBC Northern Ireland's "Spotlight" program, broadcast Thursday night, found evidence of 15 illegal dog-fighting operations in the British territory of 1.7 million people.

The BBC program deployed an undercover specialist from England who duped organizers of two dog-fighting clubs in Northern Ireland and two breeders of American pit bulls in Finland which supplied dogs to Cavlan and other Northern Ireland-based dog fighters. All were filmed discussing the tricks of their trade and methods of evading detection by authorities.
Cavlan's team won the Ireland championship in 2003. This year it lost in the quarterfinals of the annual competition among teams from each of the island's 32 counties.
Vick apologized this week after entering a guilty plea to a charge of dogfighting. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 10. and he could go to prison for one to five years. He has already been suspended indefinitely by the National Football League.

The University has added several newly designated "tailgating-allowed" parking lots: 1, 33, 36, 39, 50, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 72, 91, 94, 124 and part of 3. Tailgating is also permitted in the Mississippi Street parking garage, but cooking is not allowed there.
The changes come because of the $31 million Anderson Family Football Complex construction to the southwest of Memorial Stadium.

Marchiony said he expected nearly 50,000 fans to attend the game. Last year, 44,000 attended Kansas' opener against DI-AA Northwest State. This year's opener features a more attractive opponent, Central Michigan, who won the MAC last year.
Despite this expectation, the department isn't concerned.
Edited by Tara Smith
"If our fans didn't know about the construction, if it was a surprise, I would be concerned," Marchiony said. "But I think we have done a good job informing our fans about it. No one wants construction going on during the season, but I think next year will show the facility was worth the inconvenience."
Public toll parking for football games will not be available on Memorial Drive or in the Mississippi Street garage. Free public parking will be available in lots 61, 62, 71, 90, 125 and 127. Of these lots, only 90 will be served by the free shuttle.

DUKE LACROSSE Prosecutor turned over all DNA evidence in case
all DNA evidence in case DURHAM, N.C. — The former prosecutor who led the Duke lacrosse rape case never intentionally tried to mislead the court and believed he gave all DNA test results to defense attorneys, a lawyer for Mike Nifong said Thursday during his criminal contempt trial.
Nifong turned over all the information during the pretrial discovery phase in his case against three Duke lacrosse players, said his attorney, Jim
Glover. And when he told a judge the defense had all the DNA test results, it was a mistake - but little more than an oversight.
Defense attorneys for the three falsely accused men asked a judge to punish Nifong for initially telling the court he had turned over all DNA test results when he knew, and failed to disclose, that genetic material from multiple men was found on the accuser - but none from any lacrosse player.
If held in contempt, Nifong faces up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.

Expectations run high for Mizzou, Illinois
BY TROY SCHULTE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The last time Missouri entered a season with such high expectations, things didn't go so well. This year, the Tigers are determined to live up to the hype.
Expectations are growing, too, for Illinois as the Illini and Tigers prepare for Saturday's opener at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. Illinois was 2-10 last season but third year coach Ron Zook's recruiting class was considered among the best in the nation.
Missouri, coming off an 8-5 season and with most of the starters back from an offense that ranked eighth in the nation last season, has been picked by the media to win the Big 12 North for the first time ever. The Tigers aren't ranked in the preseason Top 25 but received several votes and could move into the ranking with a win or two.
The last time Missouri came in with such high regard was 2004, when they were ranked 18th in the preseason. After a 4-1 start, that team fell flat, losing five straight and finishing 5-6.
"It's good to be acknowledged, but we all understand that what he ver our picks are, it doesn't mean a nothing unless we go out and prove it," running back Tony Temple said.
Six Tigers starters were on that 2004 team. One of them, tight end Martin Rucker, said the holdovers won't let it happen again.
"There are similarities, but the difference is the important thing. The difference is maturity," Rucker said. "All the guys that were on that team that are here now, we've been through that year. Nobody wants to go back there."
First, Missouri must get past Illinois. Quarterback Chase Daniel leads a Missouri offense that averaged more than 30 points per game in 2006.
Meanwhile, the Illini defense ranked fifth in the Big 10 last year. The top four tacklers return, including linebacker J. Leman, Butkus Award candidate who led Illinois with 152 tackles in 2006.
Offensively, the Illinois: spread offense is similar to Missouri's, so Zook said his defense won't be in for many surprises.
"They spread you out a little
more," Zook said. "The fact that we've been going against our own offense everyday is going to help us."
Illinois also features a rushing game that led the Big 10 last year. Though the Illini lost leadingrusher Pierre Thomas, it returns running back Rashard Mendenhall and quarterback Juice Williams. Mendenhall averaged more than 8 yards per carry as a sophomore, while Williams ran for 546 yards.
It's All About the BALL!
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said comparisons can be made between Williams and former Missouri quarterback Brad Smith, now a receiver for the New York Jets.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I see a really good athlete," Pinkel said. "He can make plays with his feet, he can run; I think he's got a really strong arm. I think he's an outstanding prospect."
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel, center, and his Tigers face Illinois Saturday in their season opener at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. The last time a Missouri team entered a season with high expectations was three years ago, when a No. 18 preseason ranking turned into a 5-6 record, a performance Pinkel is determined not to repeat.
The Tigers struggled to stop the run last season. Every Big 12 opponent except Texas Tech rushed for at least 160 yards. Missouri has six new defensive starters.
The teams last played in the 2003 opener, also in St. Louis, when Missouri beat Illinois 22-15.

LeBron has perfect night for USA Guard scores 26 points in 14 minutes, leads team to rematch with Argentina
BY BRIAN MAHONEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — By the time his perfect first half was over, LeBron James had a field goal percentage for the FIBA Americas tournament that seemed too unbelievable even for a video game.
And the United States had a huge advantage going into its biggest game yet.
James and the rest of the U.S. starters got the whole second
half off, a welcome break before Thursday night's showde wn with fellow unbeaten Argentina, that will determine the No. 1 seed in the semifinals.
"At halftime we decided to give a couple of guys who have been playing dominant minutes in dominant roles an opportunity to get ready for tomorrow." U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "We should be in full health tomorrow and the next four days is why we came together."
Argentina had a much tougher

night in an earlier game Wednesday, needing to make up a 17-point deficit to get by Brazil 86-79 in overtime. That meant heavy minutes for Luis Scola and Carlos Defino, two of the few stars from the country who are playing in the tournament.
James was 11-for-11 from the field, made all four of his 3-point attempts and scored 26 points in the first half to lead the United States to a 118-79 victory over Uruguay. Despite playing only 14 minutes, he fell two points shy of the American record in an Olympic qualifying game shared by Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson.
In a sensational display of speed and power, James raised his tournament-leading shooting percentage to an almost comical 79.7 percent (47-of-59). He is 14-of-20 from 3-point range, a 70 percent mark that also leads the event.
"That first half was awesome, it was as good as I've seen," said Chaucey Billups, whose Pistons watched James score 48 points against them in the Eastern Conference finals.
When James nailed a 3-pointer with 2:39 left to improve to 10-of-10, 4-of-4 behind the arc, all that seemed
missing was a shoulder shrug like Michael Jordan made after hitting all six of his 3-point attempts in the first half of Game 1 of the 1992 NBA finals against Portland.
James and the rest of the starters then grabbed spots on the bench next to leading scorer Carmelo Anthony, who missed the game because of a bruised right heel that is not considered serious.
"He said he was going to be me tonight," Anthony said. "I didn't know what he meant. He said he was going to show me something. I guess he did that."
Anthony will return to face Argentina in the Americans' sixth game in six days. Argentina will be playing for the eighth day in a row.
Argentina beat the United States in the semifinals at the 2004 Olympics, a loss the Americans avenged last year in the bronze medal game at the world championships.
"It's definitely become a rivalry between us, so tomorrow will be a big game for us and a big game for them," James said. "If we continue doing what we've been doing for the last two weeks, we'll be fine."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — With No. 7 emblazoned across his chest, the high school senior preparing for the season opener Friday night drops back and throws a dart to a receiver in the back of the end zone.
Wow, this kid really is the next Elway.
Jack Elway is the 17-year-old son of Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, who is tutoring his kid this season as Cherry Creek High School's quarterbacks coach.
"As a rule of coaching, you really don't want to have a parent as a coach," Bruins coach Greg Critchett said.
But this is no ordinary parent. This is the man who is revered in Denver for leading the Broncos to consecutive Super Bowl titles in the 1990s. This is one father who could really help out.
"I was interested in trying to
get whatever time we could with him. Miniacik, a couple of times a week, whatever," Critchett said. "We started talking about it early in the summer. His schedule was freed up, so it was really a no-brainer in my eyes."
The elder Elway wants to keep the focus on the kids.
John Elway hadn't been on the football field in a long time. He retired in 1999, when most of the players he's coaching were in the third grade. But with Jack in his senior season, John's urge kicked in.
"He was kind of like, 'What would you think if I came and coached?' Jack said. "I just said that'd be great, if anything, he can help us out. It wasn't a big shock for me to see him out here, and everyone kind of got used to it."
"I never see John screaming or getting in his grill or anything like that," Critchett said. "I just don't think that's the way they are with each other. Overall, it's a very professional relationship."

Royals fail to sweep Tigers; drop last game of series
GUILLEY 9
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Detroit Tigers' Magglio Ordonez, left, is congratulated by Carlos Guillen after Ordonez hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning of a baseball game Thursday against the Kansas City Royals in Kansas City. Mo. Detroit avoided a sinking with the victory.
Ordonez and Granderson lead Detroit's offense
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Magglio Ordonez is much more interested in the American League standings than the batting race.
Ordonez homered and got three hits Thursday, raising his major league-leading average to .359 and helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 6-1 to avoid a three-game sweep.
"I don't check the batting race. I'm just going to go up there and do my job," said Ordonez, looking for his first batting title. "I'm just going to play baseball, and we'll see after the season."
Jeremy Bonderman (11-7) pitched seven strong innings and snapped his six-game losing streak. Curtis Granderson joined Ordonez with three hits and a home run.
"It's about time to do everything — hitting and pitching," said Ordonez, who had three RBIs. "We haven't done that in a while. It was good for our team."
The Tigers began the day 4.5 games behind first-place Cleveland in the AL Central and three back in the wild-card chase.
"I think we have a great chance to make the playoffs," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "I think we've got a shot. Why not? There are a lot of games to be played yet. What it boils down to is what I've been talking about all year long. You can't just say you've got a shot. You've got to go out there and do something about it. But I like our team."
Bonderman gave up six hits and one run, his best outing since beating Seattle on July 13 for his previous win. He struck out three and did not walk a batter.
"His ball was moving better. He really looked good," Leyland said. "Took the game in hand. I thought he really pitched well."
Granderson and Ordonez each homered in a four-run fifth against starter Leo Nunez (2-2), who went 6/1 innings. He was charged with six runs and 12 hits with no walks and six strikeouts. He lost for the first time in six career decisions at home.
The slender right-hander struck out four straight batters before Granderson homered on a 3-1 fastball with one out in the fifth. Placido Polanco doubled and scored on Timo Perez's third double in two games before Ordonez drove a 1-1
pitch 421 feet over the fence in left for his 26th home run.
"I think he fell in love with his changeup there. He gave us some good innings and we needed some innings today," Royals manager Buddy Bell said.
Granderson had a sacrifice fly in the second inning and singled in the seventh, when he scored on a single by Ordonez that raised the slugger's RBI total to 119. The right fielder has 10 home runs and 31 RBIs in 28 games in August.
He said he can't remember a better month.
"I'd have to see the records," he said. "But I'm playing good, feeling good."
With runners at first and second in the seventh, Kansas City rookie Billy Buckner came in and struck out Carlos Guillen and Mike Rabelo to end the inning.
Billy Butler tripled in the fourth for the Royals and scored on Alex Gordon's single. Butler also doubled in the sixth.
second with three singles and took a 1-0 lead on Granderson's sacrifice fly.
Royals shortstop Tony Pena Jr. made a heads-up double play in the eighth when he caught Ramon Santiago's line drive and whipped a throw to first to double off Cameron Maybin.
The Tigers loaded the bases in the
Notes: In a flurry of roster moves, the Tigers optioned rookie LHP Andrew Miller to Class-A Lakeland and recalled RHP Virgil Vasquez from Triple-A Toledo to start Friday night in Oakland. They also acquired LHP Clay Rapada from the Cubs and RHP Chris Lambert from St. Louis in the completion of earlier trades. The Royals last swept three at home from Detroit in April 2003. Bonderman is 9-5 in his career against Kansas City. The Royals recalled 1B Ryan Shealy from Triple-A Omaha and placed him on the 60-day disabled list to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. They'll make another move before Friday's doubleheader at Minnesota.
Johnson fails to impress in final preseason game
NFL
Chiefs' offense continues to struggle leading up to opener
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Larry Johnson got the break-in work he needed while supplying a lackluster Chiefs-Rams preseason finale with just a smidgen of star power.
The Chiefs (0-4) were held to a 40-yard field goal by Justin Medlock late in the fourth quarter and wound up winless in the preseason, trailing the NFL with 32 points. Kansas City lost the Governor's Cup game, a contest so unimpiring that the Rams bought the final 900 tickets to ensure a sellout for only the second time in six seasons.
Johnson, who ended a 25-day holdout earlier in the month, was the only starter of substance for either team who got on the field in St. Louis' 10-3 victory Thursday night. He shook off a bit of rust, carrying three times for 12 yards at the start of the Chiefs' first drive.
Third-string quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Marques Hagans in the third quarter to give the Rams (2-2) a 10-0 lead. Hagans, battling for an extra receiving spot, had four catches for 53 yards.
"It was good to get in the game and get a couple carries," Johnson said. "That's the toughest adjustment, getting back in the speed of the game and getting your timing down with your offensive linemen."
The Rams figure to have a high-scoring offense featuring Steven Jackson and Marc Bulger, but totaled only 46 points in the preseason. Jackson, who led the NFL with 2,334 yards rushing and receiving last year, ended the preseason with only two receptions and no carries.
Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen, suspended for a DUI for
the first two games, also made his final appearance before an enforced absence.
The Chiefs' Kolby Smith had a 55-yard run to the St. Louis 8 in the second quarter, but Kansas City was stymied when Tim McGarigle intercepted a Jeff Terrell pass at the 1.
The Chiefs open the regular sea son against the Texans Sept. 9.

GAME DAY
THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN
FRIDAY. AUGUST 31.2007
KU KICK-OFF
ATAGLANCE
2007 is a big season for Kansas and this game is one of the biggest on the schedule. If the Jayhawks lose Saturday, fan expectations and the team's bowl hopes could both drop dramatically. Kansas hasn't had much trouble at home during Mangino's tenure, a trend it needs to continue in this early-season matchup against a formidable foe.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Sophomore quarterback
Todd Reesing: This one is easy.
Much of the offseason talk surrounded the competition for playing time at quarterback and much of the in-season chatter will be devoted to Reesing's performance. If the season-opener turns into a high-scoring
shootout,
Reeing will need to outshine Central Michigan's star quarterback, Dan LeFevour.
Reeing has only played
PENGULU
Reesina
in three games and has never started, so he may have to battle his nerves.
QUESTION MARKS
COUNTDOWN TO KICK-OFE
Aqib Talib, and who else?
The Chippewas may opt to avoid throwing to Talib's side of the field, considering the junior cornerback is the only member of the Kansas secondary who has started more than four collegiate games.
How often and in what situations will each running back get the ball? Sophomore Jake Sharp, senior Brandon McAnderson and freshman Carmon Boyd-Anderson are all slated to see action.

OFFENSE
Heading into the season opener, Kansas' offense remains a mystery. New offensive coordinator Ed Warinner installed a new system this offseason, coach Mark Mangino recently named a new starting quarterback and the offensive line underwent a major makeover during the summer. Mangino said Kansas would set up its running game by establishing the passing game. If that is the Jayhawks' game plan, quite a bit of pressure is riding on the shoulders of sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing.
★★★
DEFENSE
This much is certain — Kansas is strong at defensive tackle and cornerback. Outside of those spots, youth and inexperience reign. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton and junior cornerback Aqib Talib are team captains and the cornerstones of the defense. If McClinton can apply pressure to the quarterback it will help freshman cornerback Chris Harris stay out of trouble. The Jayhawks' linebackers shuffled positions this offseason but junials Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen are impact players.
★★★
SPECIALTEAMS
Punter Kyle Tucker and kicker Scott Webb an flashy, but they get the job done consistently. Tucker and Webb, both seniors, have played a vital role for the past three seasons and should be above average once more. Kick returns should be a strong point for the Jayhawks. Junior Marcus Herford was outstanding enough to warrant All-Big 12 Second Team honors last season, and thanks to an NCAA rule change moving kickoffs back, he'll get more chances this season. Sophomore Raimond Pendleton and freshman Dezmon Briscoe are untested as punt returns.

OFFENSE
Things did not end well for Kansas
★★★
in 2006, but the team and coaching staff is optimistic with good reason. An exciting new offense and fealty new starting quarterback have brought some life to a program that was nothing more than average in recent years. Reesing's contagious confidence and vocal leadership could jump-start the Jayhawks. If Reesing's encouragement is not loud enough, the Memorial Stadium crowd should help - Kansas has won its last 10 home non-conference games.
Quarterback Dan LeFevour set Central Michigan records in passing yards, touchdown passes and total offense last year. That was when he was a freshman. LeFevour should be even better this season with the Chippewas' leading rusher, junior Ontario Sneed, and leading receiver, sophomore Bryan Anderson, each returning. Central Michigan loses one of its most important players, though. Left tackle Joe Staley was dominant in college and was a first round pick in the NFL Draft. Without Staley, the offensive line is an area for concern.
DEFENSE
Head coach Mark Mangino has turned what was an absolutely atrocious program into one that should at least finish at .500 and could win eight games. The team's rise to relevance has been slow and a bit painful at times, but Mangino has made obvious progress. Defensive coordinator Bill Young has proven he knows how to stop the run. This year — and especially this week — he needs to prove he can hinder the passing game. Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner brought a new offense that is bound to be more exciting than what Kansas fans saw last season.

★★★
The Chippewas defense wasn't exactly great last year, but it wasn't terrible either. They allowed 341:6 yards per game and 22.3 points per game. The defense could be better this year with seven returning starters. Senior linebackers Red Keith and Ike Brown are the leaders and will be eager to send a message to Kansas running backs early in the game. The defensive line is a vulnerable unit as only one player, senior defensive tackle Steven Friend, has started an entire season.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The Chippewes have a new kicker this year, sophomore junior college transfer Andrew Aguilla. Aguilla was a first-team All American at Campton junior college last season. Senior Tony Mukilec will handle the punting duties for the fourth straight year. Sophomore kick returner Eric Fraser is solid with 23 yards per return but lacks ideal speed and the ability to make spectacular plays that
returners often posses. He will also be counted on as a
punt returner for the first time.
Asher Fusco
punt returner for the first time
★★
MOMENTUM
There's no question that Central Michigan wins in this category. The Chippewas are returning fresh off of a season in which they won the MAC Championship for the first time since 1995, won their first bowl game, and were led by a quarterback good enough to make this season's Davey O'Brien Award watch list, a prize given to the nation's top QB, Central Michigan believes it can play with anyone and will be looking to make a statement at Memorial Stadium Saturday.
★★★★
COACHING
West Virginia's offense has been arguably the best in the nation during the past two years. Butch Jones was one of its assistant coaches in that span; the same Butch Jones that will be making his head coaching debut for Central Michigan in Lawrence Saturday. Jones has certainly tinkered with the offense just as he did the coaching staff.The Chippewas also have new offensive and defensive coordinators, which makes the Jayhawks unaware of what exact formations and plays will be thrown at them.

CMU KICK-OFF
AT AGLANCE
Central Michigan opens the season following a magical 2006 campaign. Picked fourth in the MAC West, the Chippewas not only won the West but beat Ohio 31-10 in the MAC Championship Game. With a new head coach, they feel like they have more to prove in 2007 and start a difficult non-conference schedule at Memorial Stadium.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Senior linebacker Red Keith: Keith is the overall top returning tackler in the nation with 326 career tackles since
Keith
his freshman year. He is also the leader of the Chippewa's defense at the middle linebacker position. Keith has
particularly found success in season openers, recording 15 tackles last year against Boston College and a career-high 16 against Indiana in 2005.
QUESTION MARKS
Who will step up and compensate: The Chippewas two best lineman from last year are now in the NFL. Who will take over for the loss of two standouts?
How will the new offense perform: Central Michigan has most likely perfected the tweaks added to its spread offense by new coach Butch Jones in practice. But how comfortable are they and how will it look in an actual game?
