Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN Mangino's call sparks offense BY ASHER FUSCO Early fourth-down conversion shows new philosophy; Reesing shines as Jayhawks light up scoreboard during 35-point first half afusco@kansan.com It didn't take long. Three minutes into Saturday's season opener, Kansas coach Mark Mangino made one quick decision — to go for a first down on fourth-and-one. His choice set the tone for the Jayhawks' 52-7 victory against Central Michigan and helped to reinforce the confident mindset he said the team had carried over from preseason camp. The Kansas offense had seemingly stalled on its second possession. After a five-yard run, a short pass and a failed third-down conversion, the Memorial Stadium air seemed as lifeless as it had for most of 2006. But Mangino strayed from the stale tendencies of Kansas teams in the past. Instead of bringing out the punt team on fourth down, Mangino left his offense in the hands Mangino said he had discussed fourth-down possibilities with offensive coordinator Ed Warinner earlier. of sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing, who connected with senior tight end Derek Fine for a seven-yard gain and a first down.

Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said he had not yet heard any complaints from people who attended the game. Most reviews were positive from fans tailgating and watching the game from the hill. However, some fans complained about moving some season ticketholders' parking spaces from next to the stadium to across campus to accommodate construction.

Then he remembered they contained a cashier's check for $41,093, meant for his son, and several hundred dollars in cash. But he got it all back Friday, including the pants, thanks to a man and his dog. Stahnke said he doesn't know what happened between when he left the bar and when he woke up the next morning, and police were skeptical when he filed a report on Monday. "We're used to hearing weird stories, but with his intoxication we figured this one would be different, that the amount of money wouldn't be exact," Police Lt. William Graham said. "How do you get so intoxicated that you lose your pants?" Stahnke said he had met his son at a bar and doesn't remember much afterward. "I woke up cold not knowing where the heck I was, and I didn't realize it at first because I still had my shoes and socks on," he said. "When I got up, I realized, my God, I don't have any pants." Tim Curzan's dog, Joe, found the pants at an intersection, according to a police report. He found the cashier's check and tried twice, unsuccessfully, to deliver it and the cash to where he thought the owner lived. On Wednesday, the pants were still at the intersection, so Curzan took them to the police, who contacted Stahnke to claim his belongings.

V 4. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 NEWS 3A FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1A) three penalties and punted three times. Kansas flourished. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson punished the Chippewa defense early and often. He tallied 66 rushing yards in the first quarter and finished the game with 110. Kansas' newly established no-huddle offense never gave the Central Michigan defense a chance to catch its breath. Just three minutes after the first Kansas score, Reesing stretched the Kansas lead to 14-0 when he fired a bullet to freshman wide receiver Dezmion Briscoe in the front corner of the end zone. Briscoe withstood a punishment hit from senior safety Curtis Cutts but managed to maintain control of the ball. The 16-yard reception was Briscoe's first career catch. "It was amazing. I just didn't know what to do because I was kind of shocked — I thought they were going to call me out of bounds." Briscoe said. "My adrenaline was pumping a little bit too much for it to hurt, but my chinstrap was unbuttoned a little bit." The Reesing-to-Briscoe connection further illustrated Kansas football's ambitious philosophy. Reesing was making his debut as a starting quarterback, and Briscoe was playing his first collegiate game. Reesing played impressively in preseason practices, but his 20-of-29, 261-yard, four-touchdown performance was nearly flawless. Reesing was not too surprised by his final stat line. young players like Reeing, Briscoe, sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton and sophomore running backake Sharp to inject some energy into a team of low-key veterans. "I carry myself at a high level, and I expect a lot from myself," Reesing said. "If I expect that high level out of myself and everyone else sees me doing that, they say, 'Hey, he's working hard, and he really wants this. There must be some reason — we must have something special going here.'" On offense, Kansas called upon It definitely worked. Pendleton returned a punt for a touchdown with 6:08 to play in the first half to stretch the Kansas lead to 28 points and further disarm Central Michigan. Sharp enjoyed his best performance as a Jayhawk, rushing 15 times for 106 yards and a third-quarter touchdown. And Reesing was unquestionably the offensive player of the game for Kansas. Reeing showcased pinpoint accuracy on the first-quarter touchdown passes to Fine and Briscoe, flashed his deep-ball ability on a 49-yard heave to junior cornerback Aqib Talib and showed the ability to escape pressure and take as few hard hits as possible; taking only one sack. "His night was impressive. You wish your quarterback would be impressive every night like that — you hope that he will — but I can't say I'm totally shocked by it." Mangino said. "He has this competitive spirit about him that is hard to describe." On defense, freshman cornerback Chris Harris did more than enough to bring life to Memorial Stadium. Harris drew what looked like an unfavorable matchup against Central Michigan's star wide receiver, sophomore Bryan Anderson. Despite giving up five inches and 25 pounds to Anderson, Harris held his own. Anderson never fell into rhythm with sophomore quarterback Dan LeFevour and finished the game with seven catches and only 62 yards. "I would say for a true freshman — based on what I saw from the sideline — it was a doggone good game for a guy whose last game was in high school," Mangino said. "I'm pretty proud of him." By halftime, the layhawks had raced to a 35-0 lead. They did not pull any punches early in the second half. The Kansas defense brought heavier blitzes and ensured that Central Michigan would not inch any closer. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton was quick off of the line of scrimmage, and junior linebackers Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen hammered LeFevour on several occasions. The pass coverage of Harris, Talib, junior Patrick Resby and sophomore Darrell Stuckey was airtight for the entire game, and the defense as a whole only allowed one sustained drive, which resulted in a Chippewa touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter. "It was awesome. The secondary was locked down." Mortensen said. "They caught a touchdown late, and we were disappointed we couldn't get the shutout, but, along with the corners and safeties, we all played well as a team." Kansas executed to near perfection on Saturday night. But it wasn't pure athleticism that earned the 45-point margin of victory. It was the guile of a coaching staff who dared to insert untested players into a new system and the all-out mentality of those players that separated Kansas from Central Michigan. "I tell our players all the time, 'Everybody's got a weight room. Everybody's big and strong.'" Mangino said. "The teams that win are the guys that have the mental edge. And on offense, defense and special teams, we had it tonight." CRIME — Edited by Matt Erickson Students fall victim to identity theft, fraud BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Sara Shannon just wants her passport back. She became a victim of identity fraud, when a thief stole her wallet that contained her credit card, driver's license and passport. "Nothing will ever buy back the stamps in my passport from my summer travels," Shannon, Ottawa junior, said. "Honestly, if you are reading this and have my passport, I will do anything for those." weeks. College students such as Shannon are vulnerable to identity fraud and even worse, identity theft. Identity fraud involves the theft and use of someone's personal information. Identity theft happens when someone illegally poses as someone else by obtaining information such as a driver's license number or social security number. Several students have reported cases of identity fraud to the Lawrence Police in the last two Identity fraud can happen easily. The only thing someone would need is another person's wallet. Shannon had at least 100 people at her house for a party Aug. 17. She said someone probably took her wallet from her bedroom. After stealing it, the thief spent almost $100 on gas, fast food and lottery tickets. Someone spent $730 at Wal-Mart and Hastings with a credit card that belonged to Courtney Steffens, Olathe sophomore. Both girls said the experience scared them. Shannon was so scared of the possibility of the person breaking in that she pushed a couch in front of her bedroom door. "It's terrifying, absolutely terrifying" Shannon said. "Not only did this person screw me over royally in terms of finances and convenience, he put me in a vulnerable position. An unknown person now knows where I live, where I sleep, what health insurance I have, what countries I've been to, where I bank and what brand of condom I use." Identity fraud victims also face greater risk of identity theft. If someone had another person's Social Security information, that person could use it to open new credit card accounts and spend more money. Banks usually cover the amount of money lost for identity fraud but not for identity theft. Todd Davis, CEO of Lifelock, an identity theft protection agency, said identity theft had been the fastest growing crime in America the past seven years. It can be a simple process for thieves. If someone gets another person's Social Security card, that person can use it to get credit cards, take out a loan or even buy a house. Davis said there were two easy ways to prevent the crime. He said to file for fraud alerts with a credit bureau such as Equifax or TransUnion. These companies keep track of the transactions someone makes. Any time a person makes a drastic change to his or her credit, such as applying for a new card or making a large purchase, the credit bureau contacts that person to make sure identity fraud has not occurred. Secondly, he said to opt out of pre-approved credit card offers that often come in the mail. Students can do that by dialing 888-5-OPT-OUT. Davis said every student should take those easy steps, especially because people could easily obtain Social Security numbers. He said students often gave the numbers to doctors, schools and employers. Identity thieves know this and can hack into that information. "It sounds crazy," Davis said, "but it's already out there. I even give you my own social security number, 451-55-5462, because I want people to understand their info is out there." Shannon found that out the hard way. Her bank refunded the money she lost, and she changed the locks on all her doors. But she still feels scared. "This person knows my name and could be stalking me on Facebook and could easily be reading this article." Shannon said. "I really don't care about the money." - Edited by Tara Smith HAIR academy setting the standard for Excellence 2429 Iowa Street 785.749.1488 Voted Top of the Hill's BEST SALON 2005, 2006, 2007 Voted Lawrence Journal-World's BEST SALON 2005, 2006 Redken, Biolage & Aquage 3 for $25.00 Highlights $20 with coupon - long hair exti expires 9/30/07 All services performed by supervised students Z HAIR academy Haircuts always $7 HAIR academy Setting the standard for Excellence 2429 Iowa Street 785.749.1488 Voted Top of the Hill's BEST SALON 2005, 2006, 2007 Voted Lawrence Journal-World's BEST SALON 2005, 2006 Redken, Biolage & Aquage 3 for $25.00 All services performed by supervised students Highlights $20 with coupon; long hair extra expires 9/30/07 The Deadline is approaching...

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 PAGE 5A EDITORIAL BOARD Wikipedia's format troublesome Who has the right to judge the accuracy of 'the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit?' Citing Wikipedia in a research paper is basically handing a shovel to your professor; as they read closer toward the taboo citation, you watch your grave deepen. FRUIT FOR THOUGHT Students rely on Wikipedia daily for both trivial knowledge and clarification, a sort of reference guide that instantaneously can tell us whether a cicada killer is more of a hornet or a wasp. But reports on the editing of certain Wikipedia pages are revealing some companies' efforts to "clean up" their entry, and according to the magazine Wired, "an anonymous Wikipedia user deleted 15 paragraphs from an article on e-voting machine-vendor Diebold, excising an entire section critical of the company's machines." publishing the edits on a discussion page. As members of a generation that contribute to and draw constantly from the Internet, we need Wikipedia to restore these adulterated pages to their original context, while still Despite a thousand recitations by our professors that Wikipedia is not a genuine source, students trust the site to give them accurate information.

Programs such as Wikiscanner make finding these changes easy enough by tracking the editor's IP address, and restoration of the page's original information usually ensues. After Wikine- dia found IP numbers registered to Congress editing material, they essentially banned those numbers from further "contributions." And after the pages are restored, there is still a much larger issue of who should have the final say on a user-contributed site. We expect the editors to excuse any misleading or false information while holding to Wikipedia standards, but then who are these editors who judge the factualness of each article? For whom does this editor work? Before this becomes too Orwellian, it is premature to say that these edits are going to lead to a future of ignorant Internet usage. And moreover, it is premature to think people will mislabel cicada killers as hornets, when clearly they're wasps. But we could be mistaken; all we know about the giant insect is what we read on Wikipedia.

What's your name? Oh but how this will suck if you happen to be an ex or something. I'm not drama, cute lesbian girl. What's your number? To the cop who commended me for carrying around a Big K instead of beer ... the jokes on you. I had vodka in my purse! I have worked in retail — a lot. I have also worked with children, so I'm very familiar with spit being wiped on me. To the girl who I almost hit on Poverty as an excuse for free printer paper Your college years may be taxing on your wallet, they don't have to be on your morals Let's face it, we are college students, and thus, we are cheap. We eat five day old pizza and entertain ourselves (like we did in fifth grade) by daring our friends to drink some made up concoction containing several people's pops and consequential backwash. It's not pretty; it's just the way of the college student. I am no stranger to "going on the cheap." Every Sunday I cut coupons, free refills make me ridiculously happy, I eat more often than not at my job with KU catering so I don't have to buy groceries, and I have been known to take more than my fair share of restaurant napkins. However, there is a certain line in which "being cheap" crosses over into the not so humorous act of stealing. How this point was really brought home to me was last semester when I was studying at Anshutz library. As I sat at a computer contemplating if perhaps it would be a bit eccentric to check my Facebook for the third time in an hour, I watched a person nonchalantly walk over to the copy machine beside my computer. Expecting said person to simply make a copy of something, I was shocked when instead he reached KIRSTEN HUDSON d o w n , opened the drawer holding the copy paper and hastily put the entire ream of paper in his backpack. This is called stealing. When most of us do something wrong we try to justify our actions to ourselves to make them seem not so immoral. I know that I should tell the dumb chick at the checkout counter that she gave me back five dollars too much, but it's her fault she can't count change, isn't it? Unless this person was completely aware of the fact that their actions were stealing, the way I see it there could have been only two justifications that person gave their self for stealing the copy paper (and neither are an excuse). The first of which is, "I'm out of free library printing because Smith made us print out fifty pages of readings...I don't get paid until Friday... I really don't want to pay for more paper." Being cheap is not an excuse for stealing. Just because you are a college student and money can be tight at times doesn't make you morally exempt. they're "sticking it to the man." KU is a big university; it has a lot of money, look at what Mangino gets paid...if I take this paper it's alright because I'm sticking it to them and their crapy tuition prices. Again, no. "Sticking it to the man" is not a justification for stealing. The second reason that a person would give themselves to justify their stealing would be that Hudson is a Wichita sophomore in journalism and business Whether it's downloading music you haven't paid for, getting pop from the fountain when you say you are getting water, or like I said, taking copy paper that belongs to the school these acts fall into the stealing category not the "it's ok because I can't afford it (a.k.a I'd rather buy a Big Mac) category. These acts may seem trivial, but no matter which way you look at it, it's stealing. And being a "poor college student" is not an excuse. Language barrier only skin deep Some customers assume skin color decides spoken languages I have worked in a bank as a teller for about a year. As with any job, I have worked with a plethora of customers, ranging from the local bum who keeps socks on his hands and wears a floral cape to million-aires. I've been yelled at, cursed at a ten minute conversation in Spanish to accomplish the tasks mentioned previously. and threatened (not because of my service but more because of money problems). I've never been personally offended by any of these interactions. I have been personally offended, though, by one I asked my male co-workers why it takes so much longer to do a transaction with a Spanish speaking customer as compared MATT HIRSCHFELD sect of customers, and all they had to say was one word: "Him." I work with three Spanish speaking employees. One is male, from Bolivia and a native speaker, one knows the language because of his Mexican parents, and the other got her degree in Spanish at KU. The offense beings when I am done helping a routine customer and ask for the next person in line. I look up, and there are a few Spanish speaking customers, pointing at the Bolivian or the Mexican/ American, saying "Him" over and over again. To my surprise, they will wait, sometimes up to 20 minutes, to be helped by someone who speaks their native language. They will not be helped by my co-worker who earned a degree in Spanish. They must assume because her skin is white that she only speaks English. Only some of the Spanish speaking customers are willing to "take the risk" and be helped by someone other than my two male co-workers. These brave souls, thankfully, have realized that I know how to do my job. I am fully competent, if not more competent, of making their deposits, cashing their checks, and transferring their money. I may not know a lick of Spanish beyond "How are you?" "Thank you", and "For Spanish, please press two", but I do not know when was the last time it required with English speaking. They said they make more of an effort to have a conversation with Spanish speaking customer because "it makes them feel special." I really do wonder how it would be handled if I were to go to, for example, an average fast-food restaurant and be serviced by someone who speaks only some English, just enough to take my order and take my money. What if I were to demand that I be helped by someone who speaks fluent English? If I just politely smiled like the Spanish speaking customers and wait to be "properly serviced." I am sure that the person is capable to take my order and understand what I want, or, in other words, do his or her job. I am also almost positive I would be refused service and asked to leave. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the cultural aspect of the melting pot of what I've come to know as America. I enjoy hearing about different cultures' customs and what they do here to accommodate to keep tradition alive. For example, my co-worker informed me that Cinco de Mayo is a holiday, and I quote, "that only you white people like to celebrate as an excuse to party. It's not that big of a deal in Mexico." I really do try to treat everyone I interact with equally, but when I am treated at my job as incompetent, ignorant and worthless, that melting pot I've come to love begins to harden. And it's going to take awhile for it to start boiling again. Hirschfeld is a Augusta junior in journalism DRAWING BOARD PHONE SEX TALK TO US NOW THAT YOU'VE READ THE OPINION PAGE, HAVE AN OPINION?

Panama Canal expansion starts off with a bang ASSOCIATED PRESS PANAMA CITY, Panama — Panama blasted away part of a hillside next to the canal on Monday, marking the start of the waterway's biggest expansion since it opened 93 years ago. In the presence of former President Carter, who signed the 1977 treaty that gave Panama control of the waterway on Dec. 31, 1999, Panamanian President Martin Torrijos celebrated the start of construction on two wider sets of locks being added to both sides of the canal. "We are witnesses to an exceptional and unique act," Torrijos said after the explosion sent up a curtain of smoke and water. The $5.25 billion expansion is expected to double the 50-mile canal's capacity and lower the price of consumer goods on the East Coast of the United States by allowing wider vessels to squeeze through with more cargo. that passed through the canal is headed to or from the United States. China is the Panama Canal's second-largest user. About two-thirds of the cargo The waterway now moves 4 percent of the world's cargo. The new locks, approved in a referendum nearly a year ago, should be ready for use between 2014 and 2015. The Panama Canal Authority, the autonomous government agency that runs the canal, is borrowing up to $2.3 billion between 2009 and 2011 to help finance the project. It expects to pay that back by increasing ship tolls an average of 3.5 percent a year. In addition to benefiting international trade, the new locks should generate more revenue for the canal and Panama's government, which is struggling to pay back more than $10 billion in debt and battle poverty that affects about 40 percent of the population. Under Panama's control, canal accidents and the time needed to transverse the canal are down, while revenues have increased. CAMPUS Construction causes few problems despite some complaints from crowd AMSAS BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com Fans walk through the construction on Campanile Hill before Saturday's game against Central Michigan. The construction obstructed the view from the hill and altered where people can tailgate before games. The Jayhawks were not the only KU team attempting to execute a game plan Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The Athletics Department had the task of helping 46,815 fans navigate stadium construction. "I thought it went very well," Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said. "I have not yet heard any complaints from people who attended the game." Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN The lower section of Campanile Hill was fenced off, preventing fans from walking into construction zones. At the base of the hill was a large, mesh fence reading "Future Home of KU Football." The Athletics Department funneled foot traffic between construction sites from the hill to the stadium with a stone footpath. Marchiony said he was happy with activity on the hill before and during the same. "There were a good number of people up there," Marchiony said. "It looked like there was a lot of room that wasn't used because more people tailgated by the trees to get the shade. I think that bodies well for next week. Now that people have seen how it was used, I think there will be more people on the hill." The north side of the hill, obstructed by the scoreboard and dirt, was sparsely populated during the game. David Jones, Wichita freshman, and Mark Rigby, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, freshman, watched the game from the top of the hill. They tailgated with their fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon. "From our spot, the dirt didn't affect us much," Jones said. Rigby, taking in his first KU football game, said the game day atmosphere was great, despite the construction. "The dirt definitely isn't fun, but we know it will be worth it in the end with the new facilities," Rigby said. changes.

Strecker said this prevented his family from Stadium for a $2,500 donation to the Williams Fund. tailgating. Marchiony said the Athletics Department was aware that some fans were unhappy that they had to park farther away from the stadium than they had in the past. "Asking for that money from a student is outrageous." Strecker said. We Will Be Here For You ALL WEEK LONG "There is nothing that we can do about that," Marchiony said. "The parking is based on the current year's donation level to the Williams Fund, so it is pretty cut and dry who gets the closest spaces to the stadium. That is why we provided free shuttles back and forth to the stadium. There are only x-number of spaces near the Stadium, and that is true everywhere in the country." ...only at THE HAWK TUESDAY TIMES $1.75 Domestic Beers $1.50 Well Drinks WEDNESDAY $1 Almost Anything THURSDAY $2 Double Wells $1 14oz Draws $3 House Martinis FRIDAY $3.50 Double Bacardi Drinks $2.50 Domestic Bottles $2.75 Corona & Pacifico LAWRENCE Jayhawk CAFE WWW.JAYHAWKCAFE.COM 1340 Ohio • 843-9273 You never know when you're going to be on TV!

First, Mark Simmons, the reception leader with 155, didn't catch too many passes. Texas' all-time leader Roy Williams caught 241 in his career. Kansas State's Kevin Lockett had 217, Baylor even has had four people catch more passes in a career than Simmons. And it's about time. Receiving yards mean victories in college football. In last season's national championship game, six Florida receivers caught passes for 214 yards. The loser of that game, Ohio State, only caught a KU-like four passes. Second, only one receiver on the all-time records list, Isaac Byrd, has been selected in the NFL Draft in the last 20 years. That's KU receiving for you. They've dropped passes. They've butchered routes. They've run slower 40 times than Rush Limbaugh. They've been laughably mediocre — until now. Kansas showed a newfound ability to make plays in the air in its 52-7 blowout against Central Michigan on Saturday night. Check out the numbers: 26 receptions, 308 total receiving yards and five touchdowns. Kansas is ready to keep pace with the rest of college football. The best recent teams have always had playmasters at wide receiver. Think of the receivers at schools like Texas, USC and LSU. "We've taken on a whole new mentality, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "We're going all out." Edited by Jeff Briscoe Kansas with Termaine Fulton and Brian Murph doesn't quite have the same ring, does it? Because of that lack of personnel, the Jayhawk passing game had three options in recent years. 1. Shovel pass. 2. Shovel pass. 3. Shovel pass. Kansas receivers averaged about 17 receptions for 204 yards per game the last three seasons. That's not how you compete for a Big 12 title. "With me playing DB, I know how hard it is to cover the deep ball." Aqib Talib said. "You have a pretty successful offense the more you throw it downfield." Talib, a junior, is one of the many receivers who showed how this Kansas team could be different from years past on Saturday night. He had two catches and one was a dazzling 49-yard touchdown reception at the end of the second half. Long receptions were a theme. Senior Marcus Henry caught one for 46 yards. Junior Dexton Fields had a 34-yard. It's a make-up Kansas has never had until now. They're catching passes so Kansas can catch up with the rest of the country. This group of players made people forget about the short curl and swing pass routes of years past. They went deep. They caught the ball when Central Michigan shoved them. They made Todd Reesing and Kerry Meier's jobs easier. They gave the team a new identity in one night. "They're the same faces as before. They just have a different style, a different mental make-up," Mangino said. In 2006, Kansas never had 26 receptions in a game. Only once did it have more than 300 receiving yards. The Jayhawks are now a passing team. All the roles are there. The speedsters: Raimond Pendleton and Marcus Herford bolt past cornerbacks like they have V-12 engines in their legs. The consistent tight end: Derek Fine blocks and catches when he needs to. The possession receiver: Fields makes some of his best catches on third down. The vocal leader: Talib speaks longer than Chris Tucker at a wedding toast. Henry perfectly illustrates how this core of receivers has changed. He caught a disappointing 42 passes the past two years combined. He and other players didn't do enough to help the passing attack. Henry said they practiced harder this summer than they ever had before. And of course, the go-to-guy: Henry. Although he never admit it, his numbers reveal what his mouth won't. He blew up during the spring game, catching three touchdown passes, and followed it up with his 103-yard performance Saturday. At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, Henry is big enough to bang with physical corners but still fast enough to go for the long ball like he did with his 46-yarder against tie Chipewas. KANSAS 15 Senior Colby Wissel (right) led the Jayhawks to victory at the Bob Timmons Invitational Saturday at Bim Rock Farm. He was followed by senior Paul Heferson (left). The two finished first and second overall respectively, the opposite of last year's finish when Heferson left in front of Wissel. The team easily outpaced the second place team, placing five runners in the top 22 spots. Men,women take Rim Rock Farm KANSAS 282 Teams run away from competition in Bob Timmons Invitational Jeff Jacobsen/Kansas Athletics BY TYLER PASSMORE tpassmore@kansan.com Sept. 1 was a day of dominance for KU cross country teams, which devoured their opponents. In the first meet of the year, both the men and women's teams took turns running away with the Bob Timmons Invitational title. The finish for the men's squad had a surreal, eerie feeling much similar to something that has been seen before on the majestic Rim Rock Farm course. Chasing their own ghosts of last year's finish, senior All-Americans Colby Wissel and Paul Hefferon emerged from the wooded final leg of the race side by side. If being ahead was not impressive enough, the two were putting even more distance on their opponents Sophomore Lauren Bonds placed third overall and lead the women's performance Saturday. The women impressely beat the field by more than 40 points. Unlike last year, this time it was Wissel who got the extra step in to barely edge out his teammate. While Wissel and Hefferon pushed the tempo, it was the rest of the team that helped win the event. Sophomore Bret Ingrud finished tenth, freshman Nick Caprario finished 17th while sophomore Dan Van Ordsel put the dagger in the competition, finishing 22nd overall. The men outpaced their closest competition by an impressive 43 points. On the women's side, it was one of the younger members out in front who helped the women's team get their first victory of the year. far behind Bonds was Senior Alicia McGregor, who finished her strong race eighth overall. Other finishers to just miss the top ten, were top finishers Men 1 Colby Wissel 2 Paul Heferon 10 Bret Imgrnd 17 Nick Caprio 22 Dan Van Ordsel Women 3 Lauren Bonds 8 Alicia McGregor 13 Lisa Morrisey 14 Amanda Miller 15 Hayley Harbert Sophomore Lauren Bonds was first to cross the line for the Hawks and third overall. Not senior Lisa Morrisey, 13th freshman Amanda Miller, 14th and senior Hayley Harbert, 15th. The women also beat the second place team with ease, putting 42 points between them. Although both teams had impressive starts, they hope to continue their success this Friday when the team heads to the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational. The event will take place in Manhattan, with the gun sounding for the women at 6:45 p.m. and the men at 7:15 p.m. VOLLEYBALL —Edited by Jeff Briscoe Bechard makes history with 3-1 victory against MSU BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team fought through an injury and a lineup shuffle to make history on Saturday night. Coach Ray Bechard won his 151st match at Kansas, passing former coach Frankie Albitz for the most victories by a Kansas volleyball coach, as Kansas scored a 3-1 (30-22, 30-21, 22-30, 31-29) victory against Missouri State in East Lansing, Mich. Kansas improved to 3-3 on the season, and salvaged a 1-2 record at the Spartan Invitational. Junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart suffered an injury in the fourth game of a 3-2 (30-16, 26-30, 30-22, 19-30, 15-4) loss to Michigan State on Friday night. The injury sidelined Uhart for the remainder of the tournament, including a 3-1 (22-30, 30-20, 30-27, 30-16) loss to Florida State on Saturday morning. "We were still in transition a little bit against Florida State, but I think we settled in against Missouri State," coach Ray Bechard The injury forced Kansas to switch around its lineup for the rest of the tournament. Kansas vs. UMKC, 7 p.m. Kansas plays its home opener tonight against the UMKC Kangaroos at the Horesji Family Athletics Center. SEE VOLLEYBALL ON PAGE 6B Kansas carries in a 3-1 record following a 1-2 finish at the Spartan Invitational in East Lansing, Mich., this past weekend. UMKC is 3-5 this season after consecutive losses to Georgia State and Texas State last weekend. "I'm sure (UMKC) will come in motivated," Bechard said. "It's an opportunity for us to play at home, and that's not going to guarantee us any points, but it should help our comfort zone." Kansas swept UMKC 3-0 last season and is 25-1 against UMKC all-time. FOOTBALL 9 12 7 5 Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Patrick Resby, junior safety, tackles Central Michigan running back Ontario Sneed.

KU defense ensures bad day for CMU BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer.kansan.com Central Michigan sophomore quarterback Dan LeFevour came into Saturday's game against Kansas surrounded by as much hype as any young quarterback in the nation. He left Memorial Stadium after a 52-7 loss with nothing more than bruises and a list of things to work on before the Chippewas' next game. "The big thing is we just didn't execute," Central Michigan coach Butch Jones said. "When guys were open, we just didn't get it to them." LeFevour finished the game 19-for-37 with 172 yards — more than 50 yards fewer than his average from 2006 — and many of the yards came when the game was already out of the Chippewas' reach. LeFevour didn't seem to get into any kind of rhythm until late in the second half. The Jayhawks' secondary washed away memories of a 2006 season that saw the Kansas defense rank last out of 119 NCAA Division I-A teams against the pass. LeFevour said he saw no remnants of Kansas' dreadful defensive backfield of a year ago.

Duane Burleson/ASSOCIATED PRESS The story of the college football weekend was Appalachian State, of the Championship Division (formerly known as Division IAA), shocking No. 5 Michigan, 34-32. The upset overshadowed the rest of the nation's games, including a strong weekend by the Big 12 Conference. None of the Big 12's top programs endured an embarrassing defeat like the Wolverines. No.4 Texas 21 Arkansas State 13 The Indians were only 6-6 in the Sun Belt Conference last season, but they had a chance to beat the Longhorns until just less than a minute remained in the game, when Texas recovered an onside kick attempt. The Indians out-gained the Longhorns by more than 50 yards. Texas sophomore quarterback Colt McCoy threw two touchdowns in the first quarter but none in the rest of the game. The Mean Green was overmatched from the start, and new Sooner quarterback Sam Bradford was 21-for-23 with 363 yards and three touchdowns. Highly touted redshirt freshman running back DeMarco Murray added 87 yards and five touchdowns. No.8 Oklahoma 79 North Texas 10 No.13 Georgia 35 Oklahoma State 14 Georgia sophomore quarterback Matthew Stafford was 18-for-24 with 234 yards and two touchdowns. Georgia redshirt freshman running back Knowson Moreno had more than 120 all-purpose yards, which exposed holes in Oklahoma State's defense. No.18 Auburn 23, Kansas State 13 Kansas State held a narrow lead for most of the game by running precise receiving routes, penetrating the Auburn offensive line and making remarkable goal-line stands. But in the end, Auburn All-American defensive end Quentin Groves sealed the Tigers' win with a vicious hit on Wildcat quarterback Josh Freeman with just more than a minute remaining, causing him to fumble. Auburn sophomore defensive end Antonio Coleman recovered the ball and returned it for a touchdown. No.20 Nebraska 52. Nevada 10 The Wolf Pack was down only 21-10 at halftime, but Nebraska finished the game with 31 unanswered points. Cornhusker junior running back Marlon Lucky rushed for 233 yards and three touchdowns. The bad news for Nebraska was that new quarterback Sam Keller threw only one touchdown with one interception.

The Bears running game only averaged two yards per carry. Montana State had an early 7-0 lead, but the Bobcats had little answer for dual-threat A&M quarterback Stephen McGee, who gobbled up 233 all-purpose yards. Montana State actually finished the game ahead in total offense, first downs and time of possession, which is a concern for Texas A&M's defense. Missouri 40, Illinois 34 Colorado 31, Colorado State 28 No.25 Texas A&M 38 Montana State 7 The Buffaloes' new quarterback Cody Hawkins was 18-for-31 with 201 yards and two touchdowns. He looked calm from the pocket, even when it was collapsing, and proved he could make throws on the run. Colorado's star offensive player, Hugh Charles, left with a hamstring injury during one of the first plays of the game. The Tigers and Illini combined for 864 yards of offense. Illinois overcame a 23-6 halftime deficit to make the game interesting in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough to offset Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel's 359 yards and three touchdowns. The game's touchdowns included a blocked punt return, a 102-yard fumble recovery and a 66-yard punt return. Kent State 23, Iowa State 14 Kent State 23, Iowa State 14 The Golden Flashes passed for 161 yards and rushed for 202 yards. The only positive for Iowa State was that junior-college transfer Jamicah Bass lived up to expectations by rushing for 133 yards.

Appalachian State 34, No.5 Michigan 32 The game was supposed to be a proud moment in Big 10 football history because it was the first football game televised on the new Big 10 Network. It turned out to be one of the saddest moments in Big 10 football history. The Gators' revamped defense held the Hilltoppers to fewer than 50 rushing yards.

No.7 Wisconsin 42, Washington State 21 No. 9 Virginia Tech 17, East Carolina 7 The Pirates defense caused two turnovers, but the Hokies eventually outlasted them. No.10 Louisville 73, Murray State 10 Cardinals quarterback and Heisman candidate Brian Brohm completed only 16 passes, but they were for 375 yards and four touchdowns. The Buckeyes didn't demolish their Division I-AA opponent but certainly fared much better than arch-rival Michigan.

On the contrary, this team has had so much success in recent years (back-to-back FCS National Championships) that another breakthrough performance was inevitable. The Wolverines returned only four defensive starters from last season and were riding a two-game losing streak with coach Lloyd Carr on the hot seat heading into this year. Those are a lot of distractions, and combined with home games against Oregon, Notre Dame and Penn State in the following weeks, it's easy to see that Michigan under-estimated this talented Appalachian State team. Never before has a Division FCS team (formerly Division I-AA) defeated a ranked Division FBS squad (formerly I-A). Not to mention, Appalachian State's historic 34-32 victory wasn't against a team like TCU or Boise State, but rather Michigan, the winningest program in the history of college football. First of all, No. 5 Michigan was incredibly overrated. It's already being called the greatest upset of all time, and on paper there is little reason to dispute that. But anyone familiar with FCS football knows about the Mountaineers, and although some still didn't expect this, I wasn't that surprised by Saturday's outcome. BY TAYLOR BERN KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST TBERN@KANSAN.COM This team could join a non-BCS conference right now and win eight to 10 games. In the Big 10 or ACC they could finish above .500, and that's why this victory just proves they're ready to make the jump up to the FBS. This is the biggest upset of the past 25 years, but fans in Boone, N.C., and FCS fans across the country knew it could happen. This team is much like the University of Marshall in 1996, the last year they played football in I-AA. That team, led by wide receiver Randy Moss, was head and shoulders above everyone else in the division, much like the Mountaineers. Anything less than a third straight national title would be a disappointment for Appalachian State coach Jerry Moore, but that shouldn't be a problem. — Edited by Elizabeth Cattell I was in the stands two years ago when Appalachian State defeated Northern Iowa for the first of its two consecutive titles and have kept an eye on the Mountaineers' rising stars ever since.

The Jayhawks won the home opener 52-7. Far right: Dezmon Briscoe, freshman wide receiver, is hit in the end zone after a 16-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing. Reesing threw for 261 yards and four touchdowns. "They made plays we didn't and played a great game defensively. But there are some things we have to fix." "They did a great job all night," he said. "They had a lot of speed, stuck to their assignments and really knew what they were doing." DAN LEFEVOUR Central Michigan quarterback A big reason for the containment of LeFevour was freshman cornerback Chris Harris. Harris lea the Jayhawks with nine tackles. But more importantly, he established himself as a formidable cornerback early in the game. Central Michigan got the matchup it wanted when Harris covered Bryan Anderson, its leading receiver tinely collapsed the pocket and applied pressure on LeFevour - pressure that got worse at the beginning of the second half. Kansas junior linebacker Joe Linemored sped by the Chippewa offensive line and sacked Le Favour from last season, in the first quarter. Central Michigan went into the locker room at halftime down 35-0 with four first downs. The lack of first downs stemmed from the Kansas defensive line, which rou that, only two of the Chippewa's pass plays went for more than 10 vards. KANSAS 88 80 from last season, in the first quarter. LeFevour proceeded to throw the ball to Anderson on four of his first five passing attempts. Anderson caught two of the passes, but they combined for only eight yards because Harris quickly took him down. "We knew that they were going to come at me," Harris said. "I was just trying to play safe, get used to the game, get better as it went on and keep everything in front of me." LeFevour threw for 114 yards in the first half, but 45 of those yards came on one screen pass to running back Ontario Sneed. Other than "We weren't blitzing that much in the first half" Mortenz said. "But we decided to bring it to him a lot in the second half, and we got a couple of sacks." for a 10-yard loss on the second play of the second half. Lefevour commended the Jayhawk defense but said the Chippewas didn't play to their potential. "They made plays we didn't and played a great game defensively," he said. "But there are some things we have to fix." — Edited by Matt Erickson 20 BRISCDE Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN DRIVE CHART KANSAS CENTRAL MICHIGAN 1st Quarter KANSAS PUNT, 3 plays, 4 yards PUNT, 3 plays, 3 yards TD, 12 plays, 68 yards PUNT, 3 plays, 5 yards TD, 6 plays, 75 yards PUNT, 5 plays, 45 yards PUNT, 7 plays, 41 yards 2nd Quarter CENTRAL MICHIGAN PUNT, 3 plays, 6 yards PUNT, 3 plays, 3 yards PUNT, 5 plays, 16 yards TD, 4 plays, 61 yards PUNT, 3 plays, 6 yards TD, 0 plays, 77 yards PUNT, 4 plays, 17 yards TD, 7 plays, 91 yards PUNT, 6 plays, 26 yards END OF HALF, 3 plays, 18 yards 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter KANSAS PUNT, 3 plays, 18 yards TD, 8 plays, 76 yards PUNT, 3 plays, -2 yards FG, 10 plays, 33 yards PUNT, 12 plays, 85 yards CENTRAL MICHIGAN CENTRAL MICHIGAN FG, 10 plays, 73 yards FUMBLE, 9 plays, 45 yards PUNT, 6 plays, 20 yards END OF GAME, 5 plays, 32 yards KANSAS Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Kansas 52.

More than 46,000 people attended the game. Anna Faltermeyer/KANSAN Attendance rises at season opener BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com 26 NEWEST MEMBER OF RING OF HONOR Former Kansas linebacker Willie Pless was added to the Memorial Stadium Ring of Honor during half-time of Saturday's game. "it's hard to put into words, but I know there are not a lot of names on that wall," Pless said. "I was excited to have my family come down to share the experience with me." Pless made 633 tackles in his Kansas career, good for first place in school history. FRESHMEN DEBUT Seven freshmen played for Kansas. Cornerback Chris Harris started and tied for the team high with nine nacks. Wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe scored a touchdown on his only catch. Running back Carmon Boyd-Anderson carried the ball three times for eight yards late in the game. Linebacker Drew Dudley and defensive end Jake Lentad played a few M Harris snaps on defense and linebacker Justin Springer and center Jeremiah Hatch appeared on special teams. ALMOST MISTAKE-FREE Although coach Mark Mangino appeared pleased with his team's performance at the post-game news conference, he wasn't so laid back several times during the first half. Just ask sophomore safety Justin Thornton or sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton. Thornton committed a fair catch infringement penalty and was promptly chased by the pencil. Pendleton scored on a 77-yard punt return and dove headlong into the end zone, which prompted a 15-yard penalty and what was undoubtedly a harrowing experience for the young player. Mangino sprinted the length of the sideline, latched onto Pendleton's jersey, and let him have a half-minute verbal lashing. Mangino downplayed the penalty after the game. "He's a young guy who made a young mistake," he said. "I'm not going to hold it against him." TALIB'S TOUCHDOWN Junior cornerback Aqib Talib's touchdown catch was his second career catch and his second career touchdown. His previous reception was a 42-yard screen pass-turned-score. In addition to the touchdown reception, he picked up three yards on another catch. He is a big play waiting to happen — his career yards-per-catch average currently stands at 31.3. ATTENDANCE RISING 46,815 fans attended the season opener. The last time a home opener drew such a large crowd was in 1994 when Kansas played Michigan State. The student section filled up, but the crowd slowly dispersed after the 35-0 first half. THE STAT SHEET Central Michigan bested Kansas in only one big statistical category on Saturday; yards-per-punt. The Chippewas senior punter Tony Mikulec averaged 38.8 yards on each punt to Kansas' senior Kyle Tucker's 38.2. Milkulec got a few more chances, however. Tucker punted four times, and Milkulec punted 10 times. Despite losing the battle for the starting job, sophomore Kerry Meier played well in limited action. With Kansas leading 45-7 at the start of the fourth quarter, Meier entered the game and engineered a 73-yard drive that lasted almost five minutes. He finished the game 6-of-6 with 47 yards and one touchdown. QUARTERBACKS KICKERS The new NCAA rule that moved kickoffs back to the 30-yard line didn't seem to affect senior kicker Scott Webb. Of his nine kickoffs, he booed three into the end zone for touchbacks. It was over when... view from press row Todd Reesing found Agib Talib streaking wide-open down the middle of the field for a 49-yard touchdown pass. The score put Kansas up 35-0 with 3:07 remaining in the first half. The Chippewas already were having a hard time hanging with the Jayhawks and Talib's catch was the icing on top of a tasty first half for Kansas. Game ball goes to... Central Michigan sophomore kicker Andrew Aguila only had two opportunities and never found the end zone. Todd Reesing. The sophomore quarterback was lights-out in every aspect of his game. He completed 20-of-29 passes for 261 yards and exuded a contagious air of confidence. In the battle between highly regarded sophomore quarterbacks, Reesing emerged victorious over Dan LeFevour. RUNNING BACKS PETER ROSS When Mangino said the team's run game would rely on a running back by committee approach, he meant it. Senior Brandon McAnderson and sophomore Jake Sharp split the carries almost evenly and each gained more than 100 yards. McAnderson ran 16 times for 110 yards, and Sharp ran 15 times for 106 yards. The last time two Kansas players ran for more than 100 yards in the same game was in 2005 against Nebraska, when Clark Green and Jon Cornish accomplished the feat. Zero. That's how many turnovers Todd Reeing committed in the first start of his career. Against a potentially dangerous Central Michigan offense, holding onto the ball was key for the Jayhawks, and Reeing did an outstanding job. It's also the number of dropped passes by KU receivers. McAnderson Game to forget... Asher Fusco Stat of the game... Butch Jones, the brand-new Central Michigan head coach, endured an inauspicious debut. His West Virginia-influenced spread offense failed to muster much of anything against a Kansas defense that flew to the ball, hit the quarterback and shut down the Chippewas' top receiver. WIDE RECEIVERS Redshirt freshman Tertavian Ingram started at wide-out despite not appearing on a recently released depth chart. He split time with freshman Dezmon Briscoe and junior Marcus Herford and did not record a reception. SECONDARY Kansas utilized some unexpected defensive personnel in third-and-long situations. Sophomore Justin Thornton and senior Sadiq Muhammed entered the game as safeties in these situations. Both players fared well. Thornton finished with two tackles, Muhammed with one. Sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb, who started much of last season, didn't play until late in the fourth quarter. DEFENSIVE LINE Edited by Rachel Bock Junior defensive tackle Todd Haselhorst, whose injury status remained questionable leading up to the game, played a few snaps in the second half. Sophomore defensive tackle Caleb Blakesley filled in admirably, punishing the inexperienced Central Michigan offensive line and disrupting quarterback Dan LeFevour's throws. 12 POWER RANKINGS Each week, Sports Editor Travis Robinett, Associate Sports Editor Kyle Carter, football writer Asher Fusco and Big 12 football writer Case Keefer will vote on the Big 12 power rankings. 1.

SOCCER High shot totals don't yield victories BY ALISON CUMBOW cumbow@kansan.com The women's soccer team came home disappointed after spending Labor Day weekend in Hawaii. The Jayhawks lost their two games at the Hawaii Tournament in Honolulu. In its first game, the team lost 4-0 to Hawaii on Friday. "The team showed up really, really flat and just didn't perform," coach Mark Francis said. Kansas did, however, dominate Hawaii in shots during the game, 12-6, and in corner kicks. 4-0. Famous Erin Ellefson took three shots, and sophomore Monica Dolinsky took two. The Jayhawks played an impressive defensive game in the first half, allowing only one shot to pass them. On Saturday, the Jayhawks played Auburn and tied 1-1. Kansas led again in shots during the first half, 8-2. During the second half, Kansas derailed 11 goal attempts by the Tigers. Senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn made five saves during the game. Senior Emily Strinden scored her first goal of the season to bring Kansas to a 1-0 lead in the first half. Freshmen Erin Lewis and Lauren Jackson assisted with the goal. Game one Score Shots Corner Kicks Kansas 0 12 4 Hawaii 4 6 0 Francis said he was disappointed that the team ended up tying and thought the chances of winning were high because of the team's strong first half. Game two Score Shots Corner Kicks Kansas 1 12 4 Auburn 1 13 8 Auburn eventually outshot Kansas 13-12 by the end of the game and also led 8-4 in corner kicks. Next up for the Jayhawks is their home opener against Brigham Young at 5 p.m. Thursday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. "It was a much, much better performance than yesterday." Francis said. "I'm really happy with the improvement." Junior Jessica Bush led the Jayhawks with four shot attempts, while sophomore Kim Boyer and junior Missy Geha each shot two. Edited by Matt Erickson NFL Chiefs uphold vow to remake roster Coach confident that blend of old new players will strengthen team McIntosh was signed as a free agent to shore up a position that was a problem all last year, following the retirement of Pro Bowler Willie Roaf. "I feel fine. I haven't had any setbacks," said McIntosh. "I want to get out there but I want to get out there at the right time." ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City Chiefs have 20 new players on their 53-man roster, a number that is written in sand. The best news on the first day of practice at the end of a winless season was on the offensive line. Left tackle Damion Mcintosh, out for several weeks with a knee injury, was able to work. Whether he'll be ready for Sunday's opener at Houston remains in question. But his backup, Will Svitek, struggled, and the sooner he can get back, the better for an offense that had trouble moving the ball all summer. It could change by the end of the week, said coach Herm Edwards, who is holding true to his vow to remake a veteran team that hasn't won a playoff game since the 1993 season. "I first stood here (last December) and talked about it and now it's come to fruition," Edwards said. "That's where we're headed. We have a youthful group with a lot of energy and some veteran guys who provide leadership for us. It's a pretty good blend, and now we've got to put it all together. We set out our road map today for what we want to accomplish this season. It starts opening day on the road." The last thing he wants is to reinjure himself. While the roster is dotted with starters who are 30 or older, Edwards is confident his program is bearing fruit. As of Monday, the roster contained 11 first-year players, including third-team quarterback Bobby Thigpen, who was claimed off the waiver wire. "I've got to put myself in the best situation." McIntosh said. "I can't rush it. I want to get out there but I've got to get out there at the right time. So they'll watch me, see how I feel with contact and everything and we'll go on from there." He's not making any predictions as far as Sunday goes. "This was the first day of practice," he said. "I'll see how it goes, see how I feel at the end of the week. Today I feel good. I don't know how I'll feel at the end of the week. We'll have pads on Wednesday and Thursday. After those days I'll have a better feel for where I'm at." Edwards sounded a bit more optimistic about his left tackle. "I just assume he's going to be ready," he said. "Will he have a full load? I don't know that yet, but we'll see how the week goes by. I'm planning that he's going to play." The Chiefs announced that they had signed six players to their practice squad. They are guard Emmanuel Akah, defensive end Claude Harriott, fullback Gilbert Harris, defensive tackle T.J. Jackson, tackle Ramiro Pruneda and defensive end Khreem Smith. "You're always playing poker," said Edwards. "They were actually trying to sneak him through on the practice squad. We kind of anticipated that, and it kind of worked out for us." Kansas City also claimed cornerback Rashad Barksdale off waivers from Philadelphia Thigpen was signed to replace third-string quarterback Casey Printers, who was released Saturday. The 5-foot-11, 208-pound Barksdale was drafted in 2007 by the Eagles in the sixth round. He played at Albany State, where he recorded 37 tackles and three interceptions in 10 games during his senior year. He was selected by Minnesota in the seventh round but released. Kansas City had had an interest in the 6-1, 233-pounder from Coastal Carolina during the draft. QUICK HITS PGA U.S. tops Argentina in Olympic qualifier Phil Mickelson placed first in the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday with a 5-under 66 two shot victory. The victory is evidence that Mickelson, who broke his wrist earlier this summer, has recoverd from his injury and is a competitive threat once again. Tiger Woods (67), Arron Oberholser (69) and Brett Wetterich (70) tied for second. NASCAR Jimmie Johnson won the Sharp Aquos 500 at California Speedway on Sunday. The win was Johnson's fifth victory this season and 28th overall. The race guaranteed Johnson a spot in the 12-man Chase for the Championship. Johnson will enter into the Chase in the first seed if he wins the last race in the regular season at Richmond or if Jeff Gordon loses it. USA BASKETBALL The United States beat Argentina 118-81 in the FIBA Americas Championship on Sunday. LeBron James led the United States' team with 31 points, setting a record for the most points scored by an American player in an Olympic qualifier. Though Argentina lost the championship, the team already had won itself a spot in the Olympics by winning its semifinal game Saturday. UCLA 6 Jae C. Hona/ASSOCIATED PRESS — Compiled from Associated Press reports by Francesca Chambers United States' Lebron James goes up for a dunk against Argentina during the first quarter of a FIBA Americas Championship gold medal basketball game at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on Sunday. China shapes up before Olympics China is conducting a wide-ranging experiment in social re-engineering in the run-up to the 2008 Beijing Summer Games. The thinking is that anything less than upstanding behavior by officials and the public could reflect badly on the country as a whole. BEIJING - Ahead of the Beijing Olympics, Chinese have been told to line up, use proper English and stop spitting. Now police are being told that slack behavior such as shooting the breeze or smoking could get them in trouble. VOLLEYBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "We will spare no effort to do a great job for the Games and beyond," Beijing traffic officer Zeng Qinghui was quoted as saying by the official Authorities have targeted a wide range of perceived unflattering behavior ahead of the Games, including obscene chants by sports fans, jumping ahead in line, spitting, littering and reckless driving. Patrolmen will also be monitored on how they respond to requests for help from the public, along with the proper wearing of uniforms and badges, it said. The campaign will be focussed on patrolmien in the six cities, including Beijing, that will host Olympic events. Beijing is adding thousands of surveillance cameras in and around Games venues, and city cab drivers are under pressure to learn some English, stop sleeping in their taxis and brush away the garlic - a key ingredient in Chinese cooking. English signs on billboards, menus and storefronts are also being revised to eliminate nonstandard language. "Jenna was forced to take some big swings for us this weekend," Bechard said. Freshman Jenna Kaiser led the offense with 13 kills, while sophomore Flavia Lino and junior Savannah Noyes added 12 and 11 kills respectively. Bechard said Kaiser needed to cut down on her errors — she had 16 against Missouri State — but he was impressed with her ability to perform under pressure. Members of the public are being encouraged to report officers they see smoking, eating, or chatting on duty - all of which are regarded as "harmful to the image of the police," the newspaper said. said. "I think we got into an attitude where we really wanted to fight and end the tournament on a positive note." Even with the cleanup, the Games are an enormous challenge to Beijing, which struggles daily with choking pollution and snarled traffic. The city will ban at least one-third of its 3.3 million vehicles during the 17-day Olympics and close dust-spewing building sites and sooty factories. Billions of dollars have already been spent moving heavily polluting industries out of town. Bechard credited the offensive improvement to some better passing from his back row players. China Daily newspaper. "The first pass to the setter was where it needed to be," Bechard said. "We were able to get the ball to our setters in good WORLD ASSOCIATED PRESS situations and they had a lot of options." Senior Emily Brown and sophomore Katie Martincich took advantage of those options, piling up 29 Bechard 1 The weekend started out on a sour note for Kansas, after Uhart's injury and the consecutive losses to Michigan State and Florida State. and 23 assists respectively. Kansas played eventual tournament champions Michigan State to five games. Bechard said his team played its best against Michigan State. Kansas followed up the loss to Florida State with its lone victory of the tournament. "We started off slow, but played great in the second and fourth "We had a short turnaround time between the Florida State and Missouri State matches," Bechard said. "I was happy about how we shook off what happened in the morning and played well against Missouri State." After Uhart went down, the team got up early on Saturday, still reeling from the night before. Kansas won the first game against Florida State 30-22 before losing three straight games to the Seminoles. Bechard couldn't comment on the severity of Uhart's injury because of NCAA rules, but he said that she was day-to-day. games?" Bechard said. "But then Natalie's situation came up."

If the Croatian national anthem and the mass of fans waving Croatian flags and beating Croatian thunder sticks didn't give it away, Kansas junior Nick Faucer's first at-bat did. Faunce led off for the Jayhawks in the bottom of the first, but before he could step into the batter's box, Croatian catcher Romeil Agladius shook his hand. "He just shook my hand and said, 'Nice to meet you and good luck.'" Faunce said. "It was kind of astounding because I wasn't expecting that. Usually you go in expecting your opponent to be bitter towards you, somewhat. They were just so happy to be here." That moment set the tone for the evening as two teams from opposite sides of the Atlantic took the field with the final score as the last thing on their minds. first live action of the fall season The Croatians were playing their final game before competing in the European Championship and Olympic Qualifier in Barcelona, Spain, later this week, while a newlook Kansas squad was getting its Throughout the week, Kansas allowed Team Croatia to use its facilities and gave its visitors Jayhawks. T-shirts before the K game in exchange for Croatian flag pins. But the Jayhawks' hospitality stretched only so far, as they coasted to an 8-0 victory that saw nine Jayhawk pitchers combine for a two-hit shutout. "It was awesome. It made it feel like springtime again," senior outfielder John Allman said. Although the game was played with wooden bats, that did little to keep Kansas from putting up five runs in the first three innings. Allman drove in the first run of the game with a groundout in the first and finished the game 1-for-2 with two runs batted in, a run scored and a walk. "We've been hitting with wood in the beginning of the fall here, so it wasn't too bad of an adjustment," Allman said. "But it does change the game a little bit. You've NY got to play a little bit more small ball" Czyz Junior catcher Buck Afenir and junior first baseman Justin Ellrick matched Allman's RBI output with a two-run double each. Of the newcomers, freshman Jimmy Waters looked best at the plate, leading the Jayhawks with two hits and a run But it was the Kansas pitching staff that put on an impressive clinic. scored. Junior Nick Czyz got the start and threw the first leg of a no-hit bid that lasted 6 2/3 innings. A different Kansas pitcher took the mound each inning. Sophomore Wally Marcel, senior Andres Esquibel, freshman Brett Bochy, sophomore Max Ellenbecker and sophomore Thomas Marcin pitched the next five innings, surrendering no hits and one walk while striking out four. Not until senior Matt Lane had recorded two outs in the seventh did Team Croatia get its first hit, when shortstop Jason Popishil sent a low line drive to left field that found the grass before Allman could trap it. "I was just trying to keep that no-hitter going, so I tried to dive and sell it to the umpire, but it didn't work out," Allman said. Lane recovered, though, retiring the next bater.

Take a part of us there with you.'" >> FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE Baseball tryout is more than just a story idea — Edited by Tara Smith Shawn Shroyer, baseball beat writer and sports columnist, is writing a series of articles about his experiences while participating in open tryouts for the Kansas baseball team. It's funny how after four years, you almost miss hearing the words: "Now, turn and cough." 10 It isn't that I enjoy a complete stranger handling my bollocks, but there was a time when each summer physical signified the beginning of another sports-filled school year. But three and a half years have passed since I've been part of a team that played for more than a KU Rec Services T-shirt. BY SHAWN SHROVER KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST SSHROER@KANSAN.COM So, in my last year of eligibility, I'm trying to walk onto the Kansas baseball team. MY MENTOR What's been most interesting to me since I made my decision to try out is how those around me — from my friends to the Kansas coaching staff — have reacted. The first person I consulted was a good friend of mine, Jesse Newell If his name sounds familiar that's because he's kind of the inspiration for my endeavor. Two years ago he tried out for the men's basketball team and documented his experiences for the Lawrence Journal-World. Although Jesse tried to remain nonchalant going into his tryout, as a lifelong Kansas basketball fanatic, it wound up being one of the highlights of his four years at Kansas. As for me, I can't say I grew up a diehard Kansas baseball fan I'd never given a second's thought to Kansas baseball until my first campus visit. But since I started covering the team in the fall of 2005, it's become a part of my daily life. In the spring, I eagerly await the release of the team's new media guide as if it were the latest Harry Potter book. For the record, I've never touched a Harry Potter novel. The last two Junes, I watched the MLB Draft Tracker live, taking pride in every Jayhawk who was selected as if they were my teammates. When I got Jesse's blessing, I'd taken my first step toward actually joining the team. REALITY CHECK "Just don't embarrass yourself." just don't embarrass yourself. Those were the words of Kevin Frady, volunteer assistant coach for the baseball team, after I asked for permission to go through with this. Suddenly, the only thought running through my head was, "Damn! The pressure's already mounting." He was half-kidding — or at least I think he was — but either way, it was something I needed to hear. Missing the cut in these walk-on tryouts is one thing, but looking inept in front of the Kansas coaches and a group of my peers after all this hype would sour the experience. Frady's advice has run on a continuous loop in my mind as I've prepared for this feat of strength that lies ahead of me. GONNA TRY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS "What if you make it?" I've never had five little words form such a loaded question. But that's the response I've received from nearly every friend I've told about my intentions to go through with this. I try to reason with them. I try to explain the new NCAA rule that limits rosters to 35 in the spring and point out that Kansas already has 39 players on its fall roster. Not only do I have to beat out everyone at the tryout, I have to be better than five players already on the team "But what if you make it?" Sometimes you just can't reason with friends. So, I tell them, "If Coach Price hands me a uniform, I'll never take it off." I say that mostly to humor the m, but there's an awful lot of truth in it, too. Thanks to my friends, I realized I was looking at this from the wrong point of view. Here I was, thinking this would just be something to get a few stories out of and tell people I tried, but what's the point in trying if I don't think I can make it? It reminds me of a line from the movie "Snatch" where Jason Statham's character thinks to him self, "But if I lose — Well, I don't even want to think about losing." Neither do 1 That's why he's the coach. Perhaps no one has been as giddy about my decision to try out as coach Ritch Price. Maybe he's just overwhelmed with anticipation of me making a fool out of myself, but one way or another, he's genuinely excited. And he, of all people, has provided the best advice. "Have fun with it," he said. That's what all this boils down to — having fun. That's what baseball is all about. No other sport on earth offers the pure joy baseball does. The smell of the outfield grass. The texture of the infield dirt. Gripping the laces on a baseball. Leaning in and taking one for the team. Only baseball players fully understand these simple pleasures. And that's why Coach Price is so good at his job. No matter how complicated things seem, he reminds you of what really matters. Next week I'll find out if I have what it takes to play for him. ATM THE NEW B.M.O.C.

The letter contained information about a man's relationship with Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin, according to the KU Public Safety report. It was signed by John Carland. "The content was rather unusual," Radovanovic said, "and entirely unrelated to my archeological expertise." Radovanovic, a professor of anthropology, reported the strange letter to the KU Public Safety Office. The officer didn't find Carland's name in the Lawrence phone book or KU Directory. According to the report, members of the department of anthropology saw a man about 40 years old with brown, curly hair and glasses walking through Fraser Hall. He was asking them to look at some artifacts. They thought, according to the report, he could've written the letter. Anyone who sees the suspicious person should contact the KU Public Safety Office. Radovanovic said that people came to show artifacts all the time. The man wasn't suspicious for that reason. She said the anthropology department staff filed the report because of the strange letter. STRONG HALL An employee for the Office of the University Registrar in Strong Hall received a death threat on the phone last Thursday, according to police reports. Joshua Dean was speaking to a registrar office staff member, who asked to remain unidentified, about his transcript on the phone. He became angry, according to the report, when the staff member declined to give him his transcript because of a hold. Dean told her he would kill her and hung up. Grace Vaughn, an administrative specialist for the Registrar, was notified of the threat and called police. "We take it very seriously." Vaughn said, "You don't talk to people like that." According to the report, the staff member who received the threat had already left for the day when the officer arrived. The officer went to the staff member's house later that afternoon. The employee told police she didn't want to press charges and just wanted to put the incident behind her. Vaughn said this was the first time she knew of a worker at the Registrar office receiving a death threat. When The University Daily Kansan searched for Dean on KU People Search, no account came up. Vaughn declined to say whether Dean was a student but confirmed that he was asking for a transcript. THE CAMPANILE Two young men assaulted a university student walking east of the Campanile at 1 a.m., Thursday, according to police reports. While walking, the student saw the men standing on the stairs. As he approached them, they hit him and took his wallet. The KU Public Safety Office advises students to walk in groups and in well-travelled areas at night. It also advises students to give up their purses or wallets if they're attacked. —Edited by Luke Morris 》 CLAS New policy guarantees probation One year ago, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences implemented a new probation and dismissal policy that administrators said had helped simplify the requirements to remain in good standing. With the new policy, students must maintain a 2.0 KU grade point average or they are placed on probation. Once on probation, freshmen and sophomores must maintain a 2.0 KU GPA until their cumulative GPA reaches 2.0. Juniors and seniors must earn a 2.5 KU GPA until their cumulative KU GPA is 2.0. Previously, the policy classified students as "subject to dismissal," put them on probation or dismissed them, depending on the amount of hours they had completed compared to their GPA. Now, students are split into two categories, and are either on probation or dismissed.

Who's Who at KU Chris Worley BY KATHERINE LESLIE Chris Worley, Columbia, Mo., junior, has not only thought of the perfect pick-up line for Saturday nights (which he has yet to try out, ladies, so be prepared), but is also the self-proclaimed "nice guy on campus". He is the president of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall, earns good grades, plays intramural basketball and co-ed football, and (gasp) can even cook! Chris began his college career as an architecture major, but is undecided because his studio arts class professor "only focused on his own interests, and architecture history was absolutely and completely dull." Despite encountering some lackluster professors, he still believes the best decision he ever made was coming to the University of Kansas; that and getting hooked on the "Colbert Report," the only show that can keep One of Worley's most interesting college experiences is a trip he took with friends to Manhattan for a quiz bowl style tournament. They stayed in an EconoLodge, where he said the bathroom sink leaked so much they put a wastebasket under it (which filled up by morning) and the shower sprayed more water on the ceiling than the person showering. a joke about a broken wrist alive for three weeks. "There was also a little knife stuck to the door where the escape map should be. It was really creepy," Worley said. His favorite band is the Avett Brothers, a folk and blue grass ensemble, but he also listens to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to mix things up. By the time Worley reaches old age and begins thinking back on the good ol' days, what he wants most is to be able to say that he's lived with no regrets and taken risks and opportunities when they came his way, as long as those opportunities don't involve going back to work for a cranky old man who complains about how Worley mowed the lawn. For all the gals who would like to meet this paragon of virtue, his favorite spots on campus are the Campanile, Potter's Lake, the Student Recreation and Fitness Center's basketball court, Danfort Chapel and all the home football and basketball games. Don't be alarmed by his seeming perfection— Chris has made a few mistakes along the way. "I once bought this long sleeve T-shirt with sleeves that went all the way over my hand with a hole for each thumb," Worley said. "I wore it quite a bit in the seventh grade." Oh, and for those who want to know what Chris' perfect pick-up line is, it goes something like this: "How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice! Hi, I'm Chris." —Edited by Kyle Carter Where's the beef? EMO Jon Trembley, Lawrence, buys onions from Mary Jo Mennie, Lawrence, at the Farmers Market on 10th and Vermont street yesterday evening.

Lisa Linovac/KANSAN odd news Peeping tom sues police for porn collection SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - A man recently jailed for secretly videotaping a woman and a teenage girl has sued a police department for the return of his massive porn collection taken during the investigation. Dennis Saunders, 59, filed suit against San Rafael police in Marin County Superior Court after the department refused to give back some 500 pornographic movies and 250 magazines his lawyer described as unrelated to the peeping case. "There's absolutely no legal foundation for them withholding perfectly legal adult-oriented material," Tiburon attorney Jon Rankin said. The video collection alone was likely worth at least $10,000. Rankin said. Saunders was arrested in 2002 and charged with taping the 45-year-old woman and 16-year-old girl in their bedrooms and bathrooms at an apartment complex where he worked. He was convicted of 48 misdemeanors and sentenced to more than eight years in jail, but was released last month with credit for good behavior. A lawyer representing the city said authorities wanted direction from a judge on whether it would be "lawful or appropriate" to return the material to Saunders, who has a history of peeping-related arrests dating back to 1979. "If the court orders us to give it back to him, we will give it back to him," city lawyer Thomas Bertrand said.

He coordinated with two other drivers over CB and placed his truck in the middle on Interstate 84. "We were all kind of laughing because he was running down the freeway," said Beach, of Kelso, Wash.

The University of Kansas pre-law office and Phi Alpha Delta, the pre-law fraternity, are cosponsoring Pre-Law Day in the Kansas Union today. The Cambridge Pre-Law Institute and Kaplan Test Prep Services, as well as 58 schools, will have representatives available. The fair is the first recruiting event on the national calendar of university-hosted law school fairs. Clarissa Unger, Colby junior and Phi Alpha Delta secretary, helped set up tables for the event. She said she attended pre-law fairs in the past and that it was a good opportunity to talk to numerous schools. "It's an invaluable experience for anyone interested in going to law school," Unger said. "You can get a better sense of what school is right for you." Preston Nicholson, assistant director and pre-law adviser in the University advising center, said the law schools attending the fair increased each year. He said the fair will help students learn more about the law school application process and become better applicants. He said that the University is establishing itself as having the premiere law school fair. Lisa Chauwin, Olathe junior, will represent Phi Alpha Delta and assist with the general flow of the fair. She said students interested in law school generally have a lot of questions that can be answered at the fair. "What makes this fair unique is that 31 states are represented at the fair, which shows the respect the fair commands across the country and the respect that law schools far and wide have for the quality of the KU student body." Nicholson said. The law school fair will take place in the Kansas Union Ballroom from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. today.

Under the new policy, students are never dismissed without being placed on probation first. Probation occurs if a student receives below a 2.0 grade point average in one semester. While on probation, freshmen and sophomores have to maintain a 2.0 GPA or better each semester until their cumulative KU GPA reaches 2.0. Juniors and seniors must maintain a 2.5 or better until they reach 2.0. Students must be in good academic standing — not on probation — to graduate. "Each student has an adviser that can give them clear expectations of what they need them to do and link them to the resources they need to succeed," said Kim McNeyle, the assistant dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Under the previous policy, students with a GPA below a 2.0 were either placed on probation, classified as "subject to dismissal" or dismissed, depending on the amount of hours they had attempted and their GPA. The new policy puts students into just two categories, with students who have completed under 60 hours as freshmen and sophomores, and students who have completed over 60 as juniors and seniors. There is no longer a "subject to dismissal" category. Tammara Durham, the director of the University Advising Center, said she thought the main improvement to the policy was that it was easier to convey to students. "It's pretty clear that if your GPA is this, then you do one thing, and if it's something else, you do another," Durham said. For students who are having trouble maintaining grades, there is also no minimum hour requirement with the new policy. "It's better to take six hours and get As and Bs than to take 15 hours at 'C' level work," McNeley said.

"There is a wide variety of things students can do to build their study skills," McNeley said. "We are hoping students will understand if they're ready to do well, then KU is an excellent place for them to be, but if not, then this is probably not the best use of their time and financial resources." — Edited by Ashlee Kieler PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN ASSOCIATED PRESS CONCORD, N.H. — An unfinching John McCain was told Tuesday by New Hampshire high school students he might be too old to be president and too conservative to be respected. McCain's two-day trip to New Hampshire launched his fall campaign for the GOP nomination. During a morning visit with students, he explained why he was not shrinking from his support for a temporary increase of troops in Iraq and why students should pay attention. But during a town hall-style meeting, students were more interested in pushing McCain on the environment, his support for gay "If elected, you'd be older than Ronald Reagan, making you the oldest president. Do you ever worry you might die in office or get Alzheimer's or some other disease that might affect your judgment?" one student asked. The audience groaned, but McCain, a veteran of such candid exchanges, didn't seem to mind. rights and even his age. "I think it was one of my sons that alleged I'm getting to the point I hide my own Easter eggs," McCain said to laughter. "When you saw my 95-year-old mother (on a video introduction), you saw the kind of genes I have." McCain said he was a hard campaigner and his age wouldn't be an issue in his bid to be nominated.

Edited by Ashlee Kieler 》 IRAW WAR Bush's troop cuts likely to be only symbolic BY MATTHEW LEE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Bush's senior advisers on Iraq have recommended he stand by his current war strategy, and he is unlikely to order more than a symbolic cut in troops before the end of the year, administration officials told The Associated Press Tuesday. Iranian President Hussein and Secretary General of the United States for Syria, accompanied by U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, walk near an armored vehicle during a military operation in the eastern city of Khamis Mushayt, southern Iraq, on November 13, 1980. President Bush, center, walks with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, left, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice after he made a statement to reporters at Al-Asad Airbase in Anbar province, Iraq, Monday. The president made an unannounced visit to Iraq to meet with Gen. David Petraeus, commanding general of the multinational forces in Iraq, U.S. Ambassador to Iran Ryan Crocker, Iraqi leaders, and U.S. troops. The recommendations from the military commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker come despite independent government findings Tuesday that Baghdad had not met most of the political, military and economic markers set by Congress. ASSOCIATED PRESS Bush appears set on maintaining the central elements of the policy he announced in January, one senior administration official said after discussions with participants in Bush's briefings during his surprise visit to an air base in Iraq on Monday. keeping troops in the region through spring, it is unclear whether rank-and-file party members who face tough elections next year will be willing to follow their lead. Although the addition of 30,000 troops and the focus on increasing security in Baghdad would not be permanent, Bush is inclined to give it more time in hopes of extending military gains in Baghdad and the former restive Anbar province, officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity to describe decisions coming as part of the White House report on Iraq due to Congress next week. The plan they described is fraught with political risk. While Republican leaders on Tuesday suggested the GOP may be willing to support Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell told reporters he would like to ensure a long-term U.S. presence in the Middle East to fight al-Qaida and deter aggression from Iran. "And I hope that this reaction to Iraq and the highly politicized nature of dealing with Iraq this year doesn't end up in a situation where we just bring all the troops back home and thereby expose us, once again, to the kind of attacks we've had here in the homeland or on American facilities," said McConnell, R-Ky. With Monday's back-to-back review sessions in Iraq, Bush has now heard from all the military chiefs, diplomats and other advisers he planned to consult before making a widely anticipated report to Congress by Sept. 15. Petraeus and Crocker are to testify before Congress on their recommendations next week. The United States would be hard-pressed to maintain the current level of 160,000 troops in Iraq indefinitely, but Bush is not expected to order more than a slight cut before the end of the year, officials said. Bush himself suggested that modest troop cuts may be possible if military successes continue, but he gave no timeline or specific numbers. Options beyond a symbolic cut this year include cutting the tour of duty for troops in Iraq from 15 months back to the traditional 12 months, one official said. If adopted, that change would not come before the spring. A Pentagon official said Petraeus had not specifically recommended trimming tours by three months. Bush's troop increase will end by default in April or May, when one of the added brigades is slated to leave, unless Bush makes other changes to hold the number steady. returning from a weekend trip to Iraq, said Tuesday a small round of troop withdrawals might be the ticket to forcing political progress in Iraq. The position was a new one for the senator, who faces a tough S. W. F. R. H. E. G. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z. election next year. "I think the unmistakable message has to be sent to the Shiite leadership that there is no blank check for Iraq." Coleman told reporters on a conference call. from the White House, the GAO determined that four benchmarks — instead of two — had been partially met. But the GAO stuck with its original content that only three goals out of "I think the unmistakable message has to be sent to the Shiite leadership that there is no blank check for Iraq." ASSOCIATED PRESS Republican support could hinge on Petraeus' testimony next week. If he can convince lawmakers that the security gains won in recent months are substantial and point toward a bigger trend, GOP members might be more likely to hold out until next spring. They also might be more easily persuaded if Bush promises some small troop drawdowns by the end of the year, as was suggested to the White House by Sen. John Warner of Virginia, an influential Republican on security matters. Also Tuesday, the Government Accountability Office, Congress' investigative and auditing arm, reported that Iraq had failed to meet 11 of its 18 political and security goals. SEN. NORM COLEMANN R-Minn. President Bush, center, accompanied by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, left, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, pauses while making a statement to reporters as look on at Al-Asad Airbase in Anbar province, Iraq, Monday. The study was slightly more upbeat than initially planned. After receiving substantial resistance the 18 had been fully achieved. The goals met include establishing joint security stations in Baghdad, ensuring minority rights in the Iraqi legislature and creating support committees for the Baghdad security plan. U. S. Comptroller David Walker said the GAO did not soften its report due to pressure from the administration and reached its conclusions on its own. Walker said Congress should ask itself what it wanted to achieve in Iraq and could do so realistically. THE LOOK The Etc. Shop We have it.

Editorial: As the Big Mac turns 40 does it celebrate American industry or condemn excess? THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2007 **Stewart:** Don't be afraid of your roommate discovering your idiosyncrasies. BURGERTIMES A party faux pas can actually enhance the atmosphere Instead of obsessing over manners take accidents as they come JACOB MUSELMANN DRAWING BOARD As per usual, classes are hitting the ground running and students are realizing what is ahead of them. Add/drop is soon coming to a close, and most students come to grips with what their classes actually entail, and what they've gotten themselves into. In accordance with these lugubrious realizations, the student collective finds within each of themselves the need to provide outlets for the stress and otherwise downing academic obligations otherwise known as the 'long haul.' I'm referring to parties: themed, impromptu or otherwise ridiculous. At these sorts of gatherings, everyone's out for a good time, and a lot of items fly usually. Last weekend, I chose to sit on a small table and minutes later it broke. Never mind the emotional body image issues that followed. When party fouls happen, and they do, elements of the party are disturbed. Being the culprit in this situation, I instinctively sought to deflect the immediate and unwanted attention laid upon me by yelling a general cigarette request. Other strategies I may or may not have employed included evacuating the area. This course of action may seem cold, heartless or inconsiderate. If this isn't familiar to you, I will say that I was merely providing the way for an easier cleanup (or whatever needs to be done) by leaving the area. Why wallow in the buzz-kill? For the host, an incident of this nature is like a horrible climax. In the back of everyone's mind, from the onset of throwing a party, is the possibility of something breaking, someone camping out by the toilet (admittedly I've gotten comfy several times) or some spilling. More often than not, however, fouls occur on the small scale. Always is that point in the night where I spill something on myself. My friends and I have coined our inevitable clumsiness "spill time," and there is little need for explanation. When I'm around others, though, I usually silently dismiss it or share a quick giggle with whichever stranger is near. Come to think of it, it is precisely in sharing those times of spillage that I've come to meet a lot of people I still know today. They knew what I was talking about, or at least they said they did, and that stain on my shirt is actually an icebreaker, not a cape cod. So alongside the temporary disruption, confusion and uncertainty, you have something that is maybe just what the party needed, or similarly, a definitive point for its winding down. Something is probably damaged, but I have this funny feeling it won't stop anything going on next week. The small plastic table was appraised at five dollars.

WELL, ASIDE FROM YOUR 1.2 GPA AND ABYSMAL TEST SCORES, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER TO OUR COMPANY? WELL, I WAS THE DIVISION 1 BEER PONG CHAMPION SENIOR YEAR. WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO? YOU'RE HIRED! NOT SO ANGELIC Paranoia aggravates race relations Fear of terrorism and illegal immigration leads to unreasonable profiling I ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON and of the free,home of the brave. All men are created equal. These are just a few phrases that are often used to describe the freedom that is experienced here and that is desired by so many. But has this and does this always hold true? And if it doesn't, why is that? We all know that immigration and the presence and status of non-white Americans has always been an issue. Within the past six years since Sept. 11, people and politicians alike have continued to express their concern regarding the presence of immigrants and minorities in the United States, or rather the presence of illegal immigrants. The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and then the war in Iraq has further heightened Americans' awareness of those around them, mainly minorities and immigrants. As a society, we tend to focus on certain aspects pertaining to who commits these heinous acts and other various crimes. Those aspects include race, More recently, the deaths of three Newark college students has brightened the light that gender, religion and place of birth. As logical as that sounds, I remember reading about the tragic events that happened at Virginia Tech. As the identity of the gunman was made public, I kept thinking to myself, "They need to quit identifying him as a South Korean immigrant." As important as that is to the police and maybe even the families, the public does not need to know that. People focus on nationality and race enough without the media's help. All that does is to further cloud the already-mixed thoughts and feelings that Americans harbor toward immigrants and minorities. has always been focusing on another group of immigrants, Hispanics, Two of the suspects are illegal Hispanic immigrants. What is inconceivable to me is that amidst all these tragic events and loss of young life, cold-hearted politicians have used those events as leverage in their political campaigns to promote support for anti-immigration and stricter border policies. If they are going to fight for stricter border control and policies, use something other than those deaths to do so. By labeling the suspects as illegal Hispanic immigrants, it again focuses on nationality. You often hear about violent crimes in which people are mutilated and murdered by a loved one. A man in Kansas City dropped his sick and elderly wife off of a balcony, but the media didn't identify the man as being the white suspect from Kansas City. Although I'm not the biggest advocate of deportation and strict immigration policies, that to me is not the issue at hand. The issue is how the media's labeling further perpetuates these anti-immigration feelings that are harbored by so many. Last year in my ethics class, I discovered that many of my fellow classmates here at KU felt negatively towards Hispanic immigrants. As a Mexican-American student on a Minority Scholarship, I remember being particularly offended when a student expressed that they were not fond of the idea of scholarships being 'handed' to students just because they are minorities. All these feelings of malcontent that are used in political campaigns are being passed on to the younger generations. If you do agree with stricter border policies, do so for a logical reason, not because you're afraid of everyone from the Middle East or because you don't like the fact that Jose can't speak English muy bien.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I like to sit in a full parking lot with my emergency brake set and my reverse lights on. It's hilarious! Free for All, today's section is significantly more bizarre than usual. Textbook options not the cause of increased education costs Dear Editors, Nothing in life is free; everything comes at a cost, whether it's a car, a house or tuition and books at a state university. No one would be wrong to say that tuition is expensive, expensive against many comparable state schools and historically expensive when compared to inflation. It's no secret books are expensive, maybe more expensive than they should be. However, if someone said that a professor at the university from both MIT and Rice University is little more than a talented baby-sitter, he would be insulting and wrong. Nobody wants to shell out several hundred dollars on textbooks that they don't need, but to blame a professor for the cost of textbooks is like blaming the foreman on the assembly line at General Motors for a high-priced car. Besides, the textbook in question is optional, not mandatory, but for many, having more tools to succeed in the class is worth the added cost. On the other end of the spectrum, there are some students that never buy ANY books, and simply use the copies found in the library to do homework. The source of our sticker shock for school can be found not with the professors in our classrooms and their textbooks designed to help the student study effectively (albeit at an added cost). No, the source of the high price of school is the Kansas Board of Regents, the chairman and the boardroom in the General Motors analogy. For all we do to complain and accuse good instructors of collaborating with the publishing industry to sell expensive books to students, we've neglected the fact that over $700 in campus fees is collected annually from every full time student on campus. We forget that the University collects course fees for taking classes in specific schools (many times taught by TA's, not professors like in CHEM 184/188), or the fact that the board of regents decided to raise tuition 16 percent this year in exchange for the opportunity to lock in your "discount" for the next four years. Seems to me like good grades do come at a cost, and I'm not so sure the worst of it is a shrink wrapped textbook packaged with lecture notes. Adam Vieux Lawrence sophomore TALK TO US Erick R.

Speakers to discuss Darfur BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com Former U.S. Ambassadors Robert Beecroft and Edward Brynn will speak about the Darfur genocide in the program, "Genocide: What the World Can Do and Should Do" Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Heavy student interest in Darfur generated the talk, said Jonathan Earle, interim director of the Dole Institute. The former ambassadors will compare the Darfur situation to genocides in Bosnia and Rwanda. Beeccroft was the head of mission of Bosnia and Herzegovina from July 2017 to July 2004. Brynn was an ambassador to Burkina Faso from 1990 to 1993 and Ghana from 1995 to 1998. Amanda Applegate, Wichita junior and member of the Dole Institute of Politics Student Advisory Board, said she wanted to know more about Darfur. Applegate said at past Dole Institute programs she would ask speakers for their opinions on Darfur. Applegate started the campus organization Fighting Ignorance of Global Humanitarian Threats when she was a freshman. Applelegate said students were heavily involved in the Darfur issue because they thought they could make an impact. She said the program on Thursday would give interested students a different view of the subject. Students would definitely walk away having learned something, she said. "What students will see and hear at the program isn't something they can see on the news at night," Applegate said. Barbara Ballard, associate director of outreach, said this generation of students was more involved in the humanitarian side of activism. She said students today looked at the world's atrocities like Darfur and wanted to help. Earle said students kept asking for more on Darfur. This was an issue the world community started to take interest in, but he said students were the initiating factor. Earle said the Darfur program would have a good turnout because it was a very timely international issue. The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon arrived in Sudan Monday to evaluate possible implementation of a peace agreement in Darfur. Last month the Security Council sent police and soldiers to the region to protect Darfur civilians. The program Thursday is free and open to everyone. Anyone interested in the event may contact the Dole Institute at 864-4900. —Edited by Rachael Gray 》 NATURAL DISASTERS Hurricanes hit Central America BY PAUL KIERNAN ASSOCIATED PRESS CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico — Felix walloped Central America's remote Miskito coastline and Henriette slammed into resorts on the tip of Baja California as a record-setting hurricane season got even wilder Tuesday with twin storms making landfall on the same day. While weakening rapidly, Felix's rains posed a danger to inland villages lying in flood-prone mountain valleys and to urban shantytowns susceptible to mudslides. Felix roared ashore before dawn as a Category 5 storm along Nicaragua's remote northeast corner — an isolated, swampy jungle where people get around mainly by canoe. The 160 mph winds peeled roofs off shelters and a police station, knocked down electric poles and stripped humble homes to a few walls. "The metal roofs are coming off like straight razors and flying against the trees and homes," Lumberto Campbell, a local official in Puerto Cabezas, near Felix's Iand-fall, told Radio Ya shortly before his phone line went dead. Emergency official Samuel Perez said most of the port's buildings were damaged and the dock was destroyed, although there were no reports of deaths. By late afternoon, Felix had weakened to a Category 1 storm with winds of 80 mph. But forecasters were still worried that the tempest would do great damage inland over Honduras and Guatemala. Up to 25 inches of rain was expected to drench the mountain capitals of Tegucigalpa and Guatemala City, where shantytowns cling precariously to hillsides. Towns across Honduras were flooding, and residents waded through waist-deep, garbage-strewn water in La Ceiba, on the northern coast. In 1998, Hurricane Mitch parked over the same region for days, causing deadly flooding and mudslides that killed nearly 11,000 people and left more than 8,000 missing. "The major concern now shifts to the threat of torrential rains over the mountains of Central America," said senior hurricane specialist Richard Pasch at the National Hurricane Center in Miami. The Honduran government was draining water from behind dams in an attempt to reduce the flooding danger, and 10,000 people were being evacuated from high-risk areas of the capital, mostly from poor neighborhoods and street markets that ring the city. "If they don't do it voluntarily, we will force them." Tegucigalpa Mayor Ricardo Alvarez said. "We have 500 soldiers and 200 police for just that purpose." At 5 p.m. EDT, Felix's center was 110 miles west of Puerto Cabezas, moving westward at nearly 14 mph toward Honduras, the U.S. Hurricane Center said.

"Ray, would you ever consider helping out the volleyball program?" Marshall asked. "Umm, probably not." Bechard remembers saying. "Well, hey think about it," Marshall said.

GIRL POWER No bats, no balls, no contact; cheerleaders get no respect "You are such an airhead. You must be a cheerleader." This is a stereotype that This is a stereotype that today's cheerleaders face because some of our society has portrayed cheerleading as a nonsport that doesn't take much to be successful. They write cheerleading off because it doesn't involve a ball or brutal physical contact. ERICA JOHNSON If an average person went through a cheerleader's practice, they would realize that it takes a lot of athleticism, skill and determination to be a cheerleader. Cheerleading first began in the late 1800s at a Princeton University football game. Now, cheerleaders can be found at many other sporting events including basketball and volleyball. There are also cheerleading competitions that are shown on sports television networks including ESPN. Many television shows feature cheerleaders and the work that goes along with their sport. "Cheerleading U" is one of them. It features the University of Kentucky cheer squad and its 2006 season. A few episodes Movies such as "Bring It On" and "Sugar and Spice" give us a sense that cheerleading shouldn't be taken seriously. They give the impression that all cheerleaders do is yell and do some sort of arm motions. Some people in the media have always made it seem as if cheerleaders are non-athletes who are out there to look cute in their skirts. of "MADE" even featured some girls who wanted to be made into cheerleaders for their school. Many people who do not know much about cheerleading think that it does not take much skill to be a cheerleader. But cheerleading consists of many difficult components including tumbling, stunting and, of course, cheering. Senior cheerleader Lacey Baxter will be one of the first to tell you that it takes a lot of hard work to do all the things involved in being a Division I cheerleader. "You have to be in top shape to do all the baskets, tumbling and stunting," Baxter said. "It's complicated stuff." All these different areas of cheerleading take hours of practice to perfect, just as any other sport does. The KU Cheerleading squad typically practices a couple days a week for two hours. Each practice consists of standing and passing tumbling, stunting, pyramids, and basket tosses. Cheerleading is also dangerous. In 2006, the NCAA made a rule stating that no pyramids can be higher then two and a half body lengths, and there cannot be any tosses without mats below the cheerleaders. This is now a rule because in 2006, at a KU Anna Faltermieer/KANSAN SEE JOHNSON ON PAGE 3B Freshman cheerleader Leslie Carter Mills, center, is supported during the football game against Central Michigan Saturday night at Memorial Stadium.

BIG 12 Missouri coach Pinkel admits making bad choice The NCAA it requires football games to last at least three quarters before becoming official. Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. — The "comedy of errors" that plagued Missouri in a 40-34 win over Illinois included one highly noticed flub of his own, coach Gary Pinkel now admits. Two days after defending his decision to try a 2-point conversion after taking a 13-6 lead in the second quarter of Saturday's game, Pinkel said Monday on his weekly coach's show that the decision was a mistake. "An error was made. That's the truth," he said during the broadcast. "That's inexcusable. That could have cost us the game." The conversion in question came after Cornelius "Pig" Brown's 100-yard fumble return for a touchdown put Missouri ahead by seven. The Tigers called for a direct snap to wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who ran to his right and was tackled well short of the goal line. Asked about it after the game, Pinkel stood by the call, saying it was what the conversion chart called for in that situation. Missouri (1-0) travels south Saturday for a game at Mississippi (1-0).

She lay motionless for several minutes before being carried off on a stretcher, but was still cheering as she was taken away. While this helps protect them, it still takes some of the excitement away from the cheerleaders because they are not allowed to show off all of their skills. This is one of the many dangers that cheerleaders face every time they put on their uniform and perform for thousands of people. Along with every practice, the cheerleaders attend every home football and basketball games as well as some volleyball games. They also must cheer at any post-season games that any of the teams may have. Think about it, if a team is losing, they still have to stay upbeat and keep cheering even though you aren't, or they aren't doing their job. With all the regular practices, the Kansas Cheerleading squad also has to prepare for the national competition it attends annually. This takes months to perfect before performing it for judges. The squad has already started working with its choreographer, combining ideas for the competition that is held in January. This is like the Super Bowl of cheerleading. Each squad has only one chance to show its athletic skills and creativity, instead of every other sports team that has multiple games in which to compete. During the summer the squad went to a cheer camp in Milwaukee. First-year squad member Danielle Hanson said they took first in the cheer category and got the leadership award. "These were both really exciting" Hanson said. Across the U.S., many states still do not consider cheerleading a sport. But more colleges are making it one. In 2003, the University of Maryland added cheerleading as a sport and offered partial scholarships to the athletes. Most colleges and universities offer some sort of scholarship, but usually it is only a couple hundred dollars, enough to cover half of a semester's worth of books. "It is not a sport at KU, but we still put all this physical effort into it like every other team does," Baxter said. On one hand if cheerleading is added as a sport, Title IX would take some scholarships away from men's sports to provide some scholarships for the cheerleaders. On the other hand, many squads have both male and female cheerleaders. Nevertheless these types of concerns will still arise because not every school has male cheerleaders. Cheerleading is one of the fastest-growing sports for young girls today and is even on ESPN. So why not make it an official sport across the U.S.?

Sophomore Sarah Wittenauer served an ace to give Kansas a 26-23 lead and freshman Jenna Kaiser had a kill to give Kansas a comfortable 28-25 lead. Kaiser came in to the game leading the team in kills but erratic play in the second game put Kaiser on the bench and opened the door for Garlington. "Early in the year, every swing Jenna took was golden," Bechard said. "Now, it's kind of like being in a batting slump where you're just not seeing the ball well. But you'll see a lot of Jenna Kaiser this weekend." Kansas played its best volleyball during the second match, winning 30-28. Bechard said there was still a lot to work on this week. "There were some times we looked a little sluggish but we're back home now for a stretch," Bechard said. "We're looking forward to being in our own bed and being in our own gym."

On Saturday, Sept. 1, in front small crowd inside Jenison Fieldhouse in East Lansing, Mich., Bechard etched his named into the Kansas volleyball record books. After a 3-1 victory against Missouri State, Bechard notched his 151st career victory at Kansas. He passed former coach Frankie Albitz for the most career wins by a Kansas volleyball coach. Not bad for a guy who wasn't interested in coaching volleyball. Travel 300 miles west of Lawrence past Topeka, Salina, Russell and Hays and you will run in to Grinnell. With its rural background and population close to 400, Grinnell has always been more of a K-State town. Except for the Bechard family. BACK TO BARTON "I got in to some scuffles growing up because of that whole thing," Bechard said. "But we all grew up loving the Javahaws" Bechard has spent nearly three decades coaching, teaching and molding young people. It's a job that requires a life-time of riding buses, watching film and sacrificing sleep, all while adhering to the coaches code that says the glory always goes to the players. "Even though the town was small there was always a baseball game in summer and the gym was always open." Bechard said. "There was always an opportunity to play something." Bechard could walk outside and play baseball in the summer with the neighborhood kids. In the fall Bechard played football. In the winter he had basketball and spring brought track season. YOU CAN'T HAVE EVER BEEN SO CAREFUL WITH YOUR WORK. Beachard was the fifth child in a family with seven kids. He didn't have to travel very far to polish his developing athletic talents. Bechard's skills earned him a spot on the basketball team at Barton County Community College in Great Bend. After two years on the team, he headed to Ft. Hays State University. Bechard earned a master's degree in Physical Education. "We lived in a small three bedroom house, so there was always competition before you got out of the house." BECHARD (CONTINUED FROM 1B) It didn't take long for Bechard to have success at Lewis High School. The volleyball team won a pair of conference titles during his first three seasons. In 1983 he left Lewis High School to return to Barton County as an assistant women's basketball coach. Bechard's volleyball career was put on hold. Two years later the phone rang again. The head volleyball coaching job at Barton County was available. Bechard was wanted for the job. "Both jobs that got me started, 1 kind of fell into a little bit." Beard said. Bechard's record at Barton County is astonishing even today. In 13 seasons Bechard posted a 716-60 record with 12 top-five finishes at the National tournament. Bechard still has a tough time wrapping his head around the numbers. "We just got kids that were very "I want to get this program to where it's respected nationally." competitive, mostly from western Kansas, who grew up with good work ethics," Bechard said. Dana Foss, assistant athletic director at Barton County since 1975, remembered the buzz that Bechard brought to Barton County. Junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart has seen a lot of different coaches throughout the years. Uhart, a Lansing "We had great crowds," Foss said. "And when his teams went to nationals, the whole Barton community would be glued to the radio." When Bechard left Barton County to take the head coaching job at Kansas in 1998, Foss said there was a definite sense of sadness in the community. RAY BECHARD Volleyball Coach "He was a real joy to be around," Foss said, "Whether it was in the classroom setting while he was teaching or on the court at practice." his second losing season last year when the team finished 10-19. LANDING IN LAWRENCE Ask Bechard whether the decision to leave Barton County for Kansas was a difficult one and he won't take long to answer. "I want to get this program to make it's respected nationally," Bechard said. "So we're a consistent program in the upper echelon of, not just the Big 12, but the NCAA tournament." "It wasn't" he said. "But it was a difficult decision emotionally for our family because we lived in the community for 15 years." Bechard said he had already decided before the interview that if he got the job held take it. Bechard's tenure at Kansas has a long list of benchmarks. In 2003, his sixth year at Kansas, Bechard notched his 800th career victory and his 100th at Kansas. The program reached NCAA tournament for the first time ever. Kansas finished 2003 with 22 victories and upset perennial power Long Beach State in the first round. Kansas returned to the NCAA tournament in 2004 and 2005. In 2004 the team came within a point of beating Washington to advance to the Sweet 16. Kansas missed the tournament last season and Bechard suffered native, began her career at Long Beach State before transferring to Kansas for the 2006 season. "There are a lot of times when your coach is just your coach, and you don't really go in talk to him about anything "I'm amazed that it's been that many years already, I don't feel that old," Bechard said. "But I know we've done it the right away with kids who have had a great balance of athletics. We've been fortunate to win more matches than maybe previous teams have." else." Uhart said. "I can go into his office and I can bother him, act like his kid sometimes. He has a positive outlook on everything." Bechard's recent milestone is not only a credit to coaching talents but to his outstanding longevity as well. Bechard is firmly into his 10th season at Kansas and it doesn't seem like a stretch to imagine Bechard as the coach program ten years from now. from TRADITIONAL to Kansas w/ Swarovski Crystals, Scoop tee, $42.99 BLING Jayhawk w/ Swarovski Crystals, Tank, $26.95 Jayhawk Bookstore ... at the top of Naismith Hill www.jayhawkbookstore.com 843-3826 • 1420 Crescent Rd.

Teams in the Big 12 Conference have clearly started scheduling tougher non-conference opponents to open the season. In the first two weekends of college football, Big 12 teams play seven games against fellow BCS-conference programs. The Big 12 Team's Notable Non-Conference Games: "When you beat a good football team by that score, obviously you feel real good for your players," he said. "It's a good way to start the season." "Anytime you are playing in a stadium with 95,000 people it's going to be pretty intimidating," Gundy said. "There was a lot of hype and a lot of emotion put into that game." That's four more than last season and tied with the Southeastern Conference for the most in the nation. And those seven don't even include Texas and Baylor's games against nationally ranked Texas Christian or Kansas' opener against defending Mid-American Conference champion Central Michigan. Formidable Foes Week 1: No. 22 TCU 27, Baylor 0 Kansas 52, Central Michigan 7 No. 13 Georgia 35, Oklahoma State 14 No. 18 Auburn 23, Kansas State 13 Week 2: No. 20 Nebraska at Wake Forest Oklahoma State traveled to Athens, Ga., to play then-ranked No. 13 Georgia in its first game. The Bulldogs didn't have much trouble against the Cowboys, beating them 35-14. Week 3: Miami (FL) at No. 8 Oklahoma No. 22 TCU at No. 4 Texas Colorado at Arizona State The Jayhaws dismantled the highly-regarded Chippewas, 52-7. Coach Mark Mangino said there was an advantage to starting the season against a difficult opponent. Iowa at Iowa State No. 1 USC at No. 20 Nebraska No. 19 Florida at Colorado Oklahoma State wasn't the only Big 12 program to make the treacherous trip to the Deep South in the first week of the season. Kansas State played another SEC team, the Auburn Tigers in Alabama. Week 4: But Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said the trip to the southeast benefited his team in ways that a game against a smaller program couldn't. No. 25 Texas A&M at Miami (FL) No. 8 Oklahoma at Tulsa Kansas State led for most of the game but suffered a heart-breaking 23-13 defeat in the final minutes. Wildcat coach Ron Prince said the game was not only a great opportunity for his players but also for the Wildcat program. "Because it's a national television game, we get the chance to go and have the Powercat seen nationally," Prince said. "It's a great opportunity." The Kansas State vs. Auburn game was shown on ESPN Saturday night, giving the Wildcats national exposure that could help in recruiting. Prince said the game also reflected his personal beliefs as far as formulating a non-conference schedule. "When we first got here we had conversations about how you would like to schedule and what would be your scheduling philosophy" he said. "To play against and prepare for a national-championship caliber team was one of our goals in non-conference scheduling." Prince's philosophy seems to be in stark contrast to former Kansas State coach Bill Snyder's. Snyder became well known for advocating scheduling of weaker non-conference opponents in the early 1990s. He displayed profound success implementing the belief and transformed the Wildcats from a perennial loser to a national power. Some Big 12 coaches still relate more to Snyder's scheduling techniques. Oklahoma will play the University of Miami, another traditionally successful program, Saturday. Sooner Coach Bob Stoops said that while fans love the pairing of two great teams, he isn't always in favor of it. "I don't know that we want to be playing each other all the time," Stoops said. "These games are exciting and all but when you want to compete for a national championship it doesn't always make sense scheduling these games." If the Sooners were to lose to the Hurricanes Saturday, it would put a definite halt on their national championship aspirations. As for Kansas, its non-conference schedule gets much easier in the coming weeks. The Jayhawks play both an FCS opponent, Southeastern Louisiana, and a FCB team that has lost 14 straight games, Florida International. Mangino said he didn't look too much into the schedule and coached the same way regardless. "It's my job to get our guys ready to play week after week no matter who the opponent is," he said. "It depends on mental toughness whether you're playing the number one team in the nation or the number 119."

Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the figure included season ticket sales. The capacity of Arrowhead Stadium is just over 79,000. PLAYERS OF THE WEEK Coach Mark Mangino announced the players of the week on Tuesday. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing won offensive player of the week for his 20-of-29, 261 yard, four touchdown performance. Junior defensive end John Larson and junior linebacker James Holt shared the defensive player of the week award. Larson recorded seven tackles a and sack in his first career start, and Holt led the team with nine tackles. Scott Webb earned the nod for special teams player of P. MICHAEL CALVIN the week. Webb converted all seven of his extra point attempts and a 34-yard field goal. Most importantly, Webb booted three of his nine kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks. The scout team players of the week honors went to freshman offensive lineman Alex Smith and freshman defensive tackle Richard Johnson Jr. Holt INJURY UPDATE Mangino said junior safety Tang Bacheyie received little to no playing time against Central Michigan because of a minor injury several weeks prior. He said junior safety Patrick Resby had improved since his arrival at Kansas, and played well as the team's starting strong safety on Saturday. REESING PUBLICITY Reesing's stellar game against Central Michigan earned him plenty of immediate attention from regional media. On Tuesday, his performance drew some national interest when Collegesportsreport.com named Reesing its Division 1 FBS Player of the Week. Reesing is ranked 11th in the nation in passing efficiency and did not throw an interception on Saturday. Edited by Kyle Carter Cubs hard sale despite winning record MLB But whether the Cubs make the playoffs or even manage to capture their first World Series in 99 years, an emerging lineup of deep-pocketed bidders has put Tibune in strong position to net a record sale price for the franchise. CHICAGO - Five months after Tribune Co. announced plans to sell the Chicago Cubs, the first-place ballclub is making much more noise on the field than its corporate owners have been about the slow-moving sale process. ASSOCIATED PRESS Tribune put the team and historic Wrigley Field on the block in April, saying it would sell the team after the season and intended to do so by the end of the year. But its bankers have yet to send out detailed financial information to prospective bidders and are not expected to do so until mid-September, jeopardizing that timetable. A source familiar with the sale process said there's no chance of the sale being completed this year, with a more realistic target now baseball's opening day in spring 2008. The source, who declined to be identified out of concern of disrupting the process, said "five or six legitimate groups" have emerged as would-be buyers, but declined to give details. Tribune, which is in the process of going private in an $8.2 billion buyout being led by real estate magnate Sam Zell, isn't talking about dates, names or numbers. A spokesman for the media conglomerate, Gary Weitman, said the company doesn't want the process to be a distraction to the season. "Wed like to get the sale done as soon as possible after the baseball season ends," Weitman said. "But I can't and wouldn't predict what the timing will be." to a slim — and rare — 1.5 game lead in the National League Central Division and trying to get to the World Series for the first time since 1945.

While the price remains impossible to peg before the first bid is even placed, sports economists say the expressed interest of several billionaires, among other well-heeled investors, make it a good bet it will exceed the record $660 million paid for the Boston Red Sox in 2002 by a group headed by billionaire commodities trader John Henry. The Red Sox broke their own World Series skid in 2004. The Cubs' package includes not only Wrigley but Tribune's 25 percent stake in the Comcast sports channel in Chicago, fueling widespread speculation the overall value of the deal could reach 1 billion.

This was the team's first game under the leadership of new offensive coordinator Ed Warinner. Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN Wide receivers key to victory Quarterback Reesing credits teammates with saving play BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com As Kansas players trickled out of the locker room to meet the press after defeating Central Michigan on Saturday, Todd Reesing was clearly the main attraction. Media relations employees guided Reesing to the corner of the room where the note-scribbling hoard surrounded the diminutive quarterback. Reesing's 261-yard, four-touchdown showing was certainly worthy of attention, but the wide receiving corps may have been an equally Plavers with multiple receptions Saturday important cog in Kansas' offensive machine. "All of us receivers have been pretty good just coming in and adding a spark to the offense," freshman wide receiverDezmon Briscoe said. "The receivers ed nicely for the Jayhawks in 2007.

Briscoe, along with sophomore Raimond Pendleton and redshirt freshman Tertavian Ingram, saw plenty of action in the season-opener. efficient and nearly perfect. Most formations included four wide receivers and some involved creative new wrinkles - wide-outs stacked at the line of scrimmage or placed into a diamond-like group near the sideline. Instead of falling back on more conservative tactics, Kansas used misdirection and draw plays to keep Central Michigan off-kilter. "We want to be able to attack the field both downfield and horizontally," coach Mark Mangino said. "We want to be able to mix it up with the run and the pass. We need to be a team that can get the ball down the field." Kansas' flock of young receivers substituted in and out throughout the game to keep a fresh set of legs on the field at all times. While Briscoe and Ingram shared the spotlight on one side of the field, while senior Marcus Henry and junior Dexton Fields remained constants as the other two downfield threats. Fields was his normally steady self, gaining 49 yards on four catches as the slot receiver. Henry enjoyed his most productive day as a Jayhawk, recording seven catches, 103 yards, one touchdown and a breath-taking circus catch. Late in the first quarter, Reesing heaved a pass high in the air toward the left sideline, where the 6-foot-4 Henry was matched up against 6-foot outside linebacker Tim Brazzel. The problem was Reesing underthrown his target by several feet. Henry solved the problem by tipping the ball out of Brazzel's outstretched hands, over the defender's helmet and into his own hands. The 21-yard gain gave Kansas a first down. "On the ball I threw to Marcus Henry — on a fade — I had underthrown the ball and it wasn't the best pass," Reesing said. "It's good to know we can get big plays when I don't make the best of throws." The most telling testament to the receivers' performance came from Reesing. Surrounded by reporters asking for his thoughts and feelings on his first career start, he tossed some of the credit to his teammates - mainly the ones to whom he tossed the ball just hours earlier.

S. soccer player Danny Zetela, formerly of Columbus Crew, gives the thumbs-up on Tuesday during his presentation after signing for Racing Santander in Santander, Spain. Zetela is one of several young American players to leave the MLS for European clubs lately. ASSOCIATED PRESS European leagues taking risks on trio of young American footballers The European transfer window and rumor mill came to a stop Friday without fulfilling sensational headlines. Despite the lackluster conclusion, several young Americans found their way to clubs across the Atlantic. A BY ANDREW WIEBEST KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST AWIEBE@KANSAN.COM Although none of soccer's biggest names switched clubs before the summer transfer window came to an end on Friday, several of America's young stars landed spots on clubs in prestigious European leagues. Rumors linking Ronaldinho with the Italian and English clubs AC Milan and Chelsea remained rumors. Daniel Alves staved put with UEFA Cup Champions Sevilla after months of speculation linking him to Chelsea and Real Madrid. Even Argentinean playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme, who was determined not to return to Spanish club Villarreal, could not manufacture a return to Argentina's Boca Juniors or the host of other clubs interested in his talent. Despite the relative lack of major deadline activity, American soccer fans witnessed the movement of young American talent abroad. While hardly major news by European standards, a number of young American stars made moves that both furthered their respective careers and exhibited the growth of American soccer in general. Most notable were the European exodus of Under-20 World Cup midfield standouts Freddy Adu, to Portuguese power Benefica; Sal Zizzo, to Hannover 96 of the German Bundesliga; and Danny Szetela, to Spanish club Racing de Santander: After impressing scouts with their attacking play against youth internations this summer, each made a dream move to the continent where soccer rules the hearts and minds of sports fans. Americans may wonder how three players without substantial professional success can become the targets of international interest while Major League Soccer mainstays and U.S. senior internationals like Taylor Twellman and Brian Ching seem destined to end their careers in the relative obscurity of MLS. The simple answer is a combination of youth and tantalizing potential. European clubs already know what players like Twitman and Ching are capable of achieving. Their abilities have reached a peak that allows them to succeed in MLS but does not necessarily translate into success abroad. Adu, Zizzo and Szetela's youth makes their future values harder to predict. Like many young players, flashes of their skill and physical attributes have impressed scouts but none have performed on a consistent basis. That inconsistency made the much-hued Adu a role player during his three and a half years in the league and Szetela a spot starter. To his credit, Zizzo was one of the best collegiate players in the country at UCLA, but has yet to prove anything on a professional stage. The collective inexperience of the trio did not dampen foreign interest. Based on their performances in the Whether or not Adu, Zizzo and Szetela's careers blossom under the guidance of the top managers and training staffs available remains to be seen. But by pursuing moves to Europe, each has committed to becoming more complete and skillful players and, in the process, helped pave the way for even more U.S. movement abroad. Regardless of the degrees of success each experiences, the American market has been opened and MLS faces stiff competition for premium talent. Foreign leagues have realized the potential of the U.S. market, but to what extent? FRESH ROASTED mint fetter coffee One thing seems certain. The movement of top U.S. talent abroad will only continue to grow as more and more foreign clubs tap into the quality and value young Americans provide. U-20 World Cup, European clubs lined up to sign them. Drawing on decades of experience developing young players, these clubs were well aware that a certain degree of patience must be exhibited in order for young players to develop to their full ability. —Edited by Kyle Carter By signing players like Adu, Zizzo and Szetela early, clubs in Europe can indoctrinate players into their own specific systems and styles of play without having to break bad habits already in place. Adu, Zizzo and Szetela will be afforded time to adapt to a foreign culture, style of play and media spotlight without being expected to contribute immediately. Get it DUNN with our new study hours!

Whitney Gallagher, Springfield, Mo., senior; Ryan Northup, Edmund, Okla., senior; Stephanie Gomez, Newton senior; and Ellen Stolle, Prairie Village senior, gather after the first Board of Class Officers meeting of the year. The Board plans to involve the student body this year by keeping them informed via e-mail and inviting them to meetings. Group seeks input for campus decisions Board of Class Officers to involve student body in activities, awards, class gift BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com It's 2 p.m. Friday afternoon, and in the Governor's Room in the Kansas Union Ryan Northup hands out papers with an outline of the topics to be discussed at the first Board of Class Officers meeting of the year. The board helps plan activities like Rock Chalk and also helps select students and faculty for awards such as the HOPE award. It will help design this year's senior class banner and will help decide this year's senior class gift Northup, Edmund, Okla., senior, is senior class president of the board. He and three others make up this year's board: Whitney Gallagher, Springfield, Mo., senior, and senior class vice president; Ellen Stolle, Prairie Village senior, and senior class secretary; and Stephanie Gomez, Newton senior, and senior class treasurer. "We see it as an organization that has privilege and we want to expand that and use that and try to get students more involved," Northup said. Northup previously served as sophomore class officer and had been active in the board over the past few years. He became senior class president through an internal election and said this year the board would be communicating more with the senior class via e-mail, informing them about award selections and "We see it as an organization that has privilege and we want to expand that and use that and try to get students more involved." The board meets once every other week is making them feel like they're responsible for something and they can feel like they have things to do." Gallagher said. "One of the keys to keep people wanting to be involved in the Board of Class Officers RYAN NORTHUP Senior class president of BOCO the benefits of paying class dues and also asking for input on ideas for the class gift, banner and motto. ets once every other week and Gallagher said all students were welcome to attend the meetings. Stolle said. As secretary, Stolle takes notes during the meetings and is also in charge of advertising and recruiting. She said this year there is one particular goal that she wanted to achieve. Currently there are four officers in the senior, junior and sophomore classes, but not the freshman class. Stolle said they will begin recruiting additional members in the "As far as recruitment goes, I'd like to make sure that we have at least four officers for each class," coming weeks. As treasurer, Gomez manages a budget of about $10,000 a year. Gomez said she must keep one objective in mind. "Definitely not spend all of it," she said. "But make sure it is distributed and used properly, so it's not like most of it is going to one thing or to one group or another." Lori Reeser, associate vice provost for student success, is in her second year as a the board advisor. Having worked with members of the group before, she said students should feel confident. "This group is so significant to the senior class," Reesor said. "It's an experienced group of student leaders who have an excellent breadth of depth in organizations across campus and they have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and energy to get the work done."

BY MELISSA JOHNSON Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, buildings at the University of Kansas were vandalized, set on fire and even bombed. Students were killed and rioters swarmed the streets of Lawrence. To say that it was a turbulent time for the University and the city would be an understatement. The first major incident occurred on May 9, 1969. Anti-war protestors gathered at the Chancellor's review of the ROTC cadets. They broke into Memorial Stadium and began a sit-in. Many of the protestors carried baseball bats and other weapons. The review was cancelled and many of the protestors who were identified were suspended or had their credits withheld. During April, the build-up of anti-war tension peaked and resulted in militant leaders of minority groups setting fire to the Kansas Union on April 20, 1969. The fire originated in a women's restroom, and destroyed most of levels five and six. Damages totaled at least $1 million. No arrests were ever made. The Kappa Sigma fraternity house was also set on fire, which caused $200,000 in damages. Fires and gunshots were also reported After the fires, KU Info was established as a means to control rumors. around Lawrence High School. On July 16, a KU student was shot while fleeing from the police. The incident sparked several days of sniper fire, bombings and riots. A KU student was killed when the police attempted to disperse one such riot and another was shot in the leg. Two police officers were also injured in the riots. After the riots, a KU official was removed from office for his involvement, which resulted in a call for a campus-wide strike on Dec. 8. During the strike, another KU student was shot, and 25 buildings were vandalized. Summerfield Hall, north of Robinson Center, was bombed on Dec. 11 and three KU students were injured. According to KUhistory.com, the student operating the switchboard in the computing center of Summerfield Hall received a call from a man claiming there was a bomb in the building before the bomb exploded. "There is a bomb in the machine room set to go off in three minutes," the mysterious caller said. "This is no joke." The operator and the supervisor ran out of the building, but the three students who were injured refused to believe the warning and stayed in the building. Fortunately no major damage was done. Experts believe that this was because boxes of computer paper cushioned a large part of the explosion. The next day the Kansas Union and Ellsworth Hall also received bomb threats, but no bomb was found at either location and no arrests were ever made. The University's troubles continued into 1971. The state of Kansas attempted to cut the University's budget by $130,000, which would have been problematic considering the amount of money the fire damages had cost the year before. However, the initiative failed and, for the most part, the violence died down, returning the University to its former, peaceful state.

ORVILLE Redenbacher brand popcorn is seen on shelves at a market in Omaha, Neb., Wednesday. The nation's largest microwave popcorn maker, ConAgra Foods Inc., will change the recipe for its Orville Redenbacher and Act II brands to remove a chemical linked to a lung inflammation. Edited by Chris Beattie IRAQ WAR Marine study finds Iraq security forces ineffective WASHINGTON (AP) Iraq's security forces will be unable to take control of the country in the next 18 months, and Baghdad's national police force is so full of corruption it should be dismissed entirely, according to a new independent assessment. The study, led by retired Marine Corps Gen. James Jones, is a detailed look at Iraq's security forces that will factor heavily into Congress' upcoming debate on the war. Republicans said success by the Iraqi forces was critical to bringing U.S. troops home, while an increasing number of Democrats said the The 20-member panel of mostly retired senior military and police officers said that Iraq's military, in particular its Army, showed the most promise of becoming a viable, independent security force over time. But the group predicted that an adequate logistics system to support these ground forces was at least another two years away. Orville Redenbachers Movie Theater Butter 3 PACK Orville Redenbachers Movie Theater P The report also offered a negative assessment of Baghdad's Ministry of Interior and recommended scrapping Iraq's national police force, which it described as dysfunctional and infiltrated by militias. 》 HEALTH 'Popcorn lung' forces recipe change Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS OMAHA, Neb. — Four of the nation's biggest microwave popcorn makers are working to remove a flavoring chemical from their products linked to a lung alliment that has arisen in popcorn plant workers, while reassuring consumers about the safety of the snack. Several of the companies discussed their plans Wednesday, a day after a leading lung research hospital warned that consumers also could be in danger of the butter-flavoring diacetyl. The three companies that sell Orville Redenbacher, Act II, Pop Secret and Jolly Time microwave popcorn said they planned to change the recipes for their butter-flavored popcorn and remove diacetyl. The chemical diacetyl has been linked to cases of bronchiolitis obliterans, a rare life-threatening disease often called popcorn lung. ConAgra Foods Inc., General Mills, and American Popcorn Company all said they would remove the ingredient because of safety concerns. Together, those companies accounted for more than 80 percent of the market for microwave popcorn over the last year, according to the research firm Information Resources Inc. Last week, another popcorn manufacturer, Weaver Popcorn Co. of Indianapolis, said it would replace the butter-flavoring ingredient. The popcorn makers said consumers who were worried about diacetyl could buy microwave popcorn that is not butter-flavored and that doesn't contain diacetyl. 800-34-HAWKS kuathletics.com KANSAS 3 800-34-HAWKS kuathletics.com KANSAS ATHLETICS KU THURSDAY, SEPT. 6 VS.

As the seaarch for Fossett dragged on into its second day on Wednesday with some false leads, there was still no sign of the 63-year-old aviator or his plane. Some veteran pilots said he may have fallen victim to the sometimes deadly Sierra Nevada winds that tunnel through the narrow canvons. "There's been times when I've been flying in the wind, and my blood turns cold," said Adam Mayberry, a private pilot and former spokesman for the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. "There's been times when I've been flying in the wind, and my blood turns cold." Fossett, who over the years risked his life circling the globe in a hot-air balloon and an experimental lightweight aircraft, disappeared after taking off from a private airstrip Monday in an ordinary single-engine plane. He was going to scout sites for an attempt at a land-speed record in a rocket-propelled car. Crews from three states searched by air and land over an area the size of Connecticut, marked by mountains as high as 10,000 feet. Wind gusts in the area can intensify without warning from any direction, with sudden downdraft that can drag a plane all the way to the ground. Passengers flying even on that allows pilots to turn a knob and immediately signal their location, said Granger Whitelaw, a fellow pilot and co-founder of the Rocket Racing League. No such signal was activated. ADAM MAYBERRY Private pilot Fossett always wears a Breitling Emergency wristwatch Authorities said that at one point they thought they had spotted Fossett's plane and sent in a helicopter crew to confirm. Fossett's plane, a Bellanca Citabria Super Decathlon, had a locator device that sends a satellite signal after a rough landing, but no such signal had been received. "We thought we had it nailed," Nevada Civil Air Patrol Maj. Cynthia Ryan told reporters late Wednesday. "Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of many dozen unmapped wreck sites from previous years." commercial airliners between Las Vegas and Reno know to keep their seat belts fastened for a ride that is rarely smooth. In 1999, three well-known glider pilots were killed in two separate accidents after taking off from the Minden airport. Donald D. Egen, director of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, died along with the former president of a gliding organization after their sailplane broke apart and fell more than 4,000 feet. And nationally ranked glider pilot Clem Bowman died when his glider plummeted 100 feet shortly after takeoff. Ryan said she doubts any sudden wind burst would have caught Fossett by surprise on Monday. "It was just a really delightful day to go flying," Ryan said. "He knows mountain flying, which is an art in and of itself." The weather report indicated winds were calm for most of the day. Beginning and Intermediate Knitting Classes Starting Soon!

Photo media, a major based on photography and digital media, will be available to students beginning in the spring semester. Gregory Thomas, chairman of the department of design, said there had been a demand from students for a major in this area for some time. "I was upset to learn that we were losing 11-12 students annually from the surrounding areas because we didn't offer a photography major." Thomas said. In an effort to accommodate the interest of students, Thomas and other faculty members structured the new curriculum in a way that encompassed a variety of courses that relate to photo media. "We are going to have eight departments or areas of study in the photo media major. The only other department in art that has this many areas of study is design," Thomas said. The eight departments will include classes such as visual literacy, photographic composition, digital media, computer imaging and motion graphics. The new program will make the University one of the only Big 12 schools to offer a major "We are predicting that the department will be popular.

"The new major will be a program that will require students to take all the courses a Design major would have to take" Students can earn a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photo media. Tyler Waugh, Topeka junior, said he planned on starting the photo media program in January. Thomas said he was excited about the new program. "I am currently majoring in expanded media, which correlates with the photo media major," Waugh said. "To finalize my major will allow me to structure my schedule." "We hope to receive good feedback and some financial support from alumni." Thomas said. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell WORLD Anti-terrorist group halts imminent bomb attack in Germany ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — Three militants from an Islamic group linked to al-Qaida were planning "imminen" bomb attacks against Americans in Germany when an elite anti-terrorist unit raided their small-town hideout after months of intense surveillance, officials said Wednesday. The men — two German converts to Islam and a Turkish citizen who prosecutors said shared a "profound hatred of U.S. citizens" — allegedly obtained military-style detonators and enough chemicals to make bombs more powerful than those that killed 191 commuters in Madrid in 2004 and 52 in London in 2005. Frankfurt International Airport and the nearby U.S. Ramstein Air Base reportedly were the suspects' primary targets. Prosecutors indicated police defused the danger earlier in the six-month investigation by stealthily substituting a harmless chemical for the raw bomb material amassed by the suspects. They said police moved in Tuesday when the alleged plotters seemed ready to try to make bombs. Coming less than a week before the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S., it was the second consecutive day that European authorities announced they had thwarted a major attack. Danish officials said Tuesday they had broken up a bomb plot by arresting six Danish citizens and two other residents with links to senior al-Qaida terrorists. Security experts said the two purported plots are a reminder that Muslim extremists are not driven just by anger at the United States and its policies. Islamic radicals "treat the whole Western world as their enemy," said Tadeusz Wrobel, an analyst of military and security issues in Warsaw. Bob Ayres, a former U.S. intelligence officer who is an analyst at Chatham House, a London think tank, said the radical ideology embraced by Islamic militants outweighs national loyalty, noting that many of those arrested in alleged European terror plots in recent years grew up here. ROCK I'M PARK "They're not Germans, Brits or French. They are radical Muslims living in these countries," he said. Prosecutors said the three men arrested in Germany underwent training at camps in Pakistan run by the Islamic Jihad Union and had formed a German cell of the al-Qaida-influenced group. Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is believed hiding in Pakistan. An unidentified man, left, believed to be a terror suspect, is led away Wednesday at the German Federal Court in Karlsruhe, southern Germany. Authorities said they had arrested three suspected Islamic terrorists from a group with "profound hatred of U.S. citizens" for plotting imminent, massive bomb attacks on U.S. facilities in Germany. Officials described the Islamic Jihad Union as a Sunni Muslim group based in Central Asia that is an offshoot of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, an extremist organization with origins in that former Soviet state. "This group distinguishes itself through its profound hatred of U.S. citizens," Joerg Ziercke, head of the Federal Crime Office, Germany's equivalent of the FBI, told reporters. Federal Prosecutor Monika Harms said the three suspects intended to attack institutions and establishments frequented by Americans in Germany, including discos, pubs and airports. Her office said the plan was to set off car bombs. "We were able to succeed in recognizing and preventing the most serious and massive bombings," Harms said at a news conference. She declined to name specific targets. Germany's government had been increasingly worried about the danger of terror plots after attacks on its troops serving in Afghanistan, and security measures had been stepped up. FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said the FBI and Department of Homeland Security saw "no imminent threat to the U.S. domestically following these arrests." "This shows that terrorist dangers, in our country as well, are not abstract but are real," Chancellor Angela Merkel said. She thanked security officials for foiling the attack and called the arrests a "very, very great success." An unidentified man, center, believed to be a terror suspect, is led a helicopter by masked police. Wednesday at the German Federal Court in Karlsruhe, southern Germany. In Washington, National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said President Bush was pleased a potential attack was thwarted and expressed appreciation for the work of German authorities. Germany's elite GSG-9 antiterrorist unit arrested two of the suspects at a vacation home in Oberschledorn, a town of some 900 people in central Germany, officials said. The third suspect fled out a bathroom window but was caught about 300 yards away, they said. 104 The suspects were taken before a judge in closed sessions Wednesday at the Federal Court of Justice in Karlshuhe and ordered held pending trial. Prosecutors said the three identified only as Fritz Martin G., 28; Adem Y., 28; and Daniel Martin S., 21 first came to the attention of police when one or more of them carried out surveillance of U.S. military facilities in Hanau, near Frankfurt, in late 2006. ASSOCIATED PRESS Officials said that during the first part of this year, the men acquired 12 containers of 35 percent hydrogen peroxide solution, which can be combined with other material to make explosives — as did the four London suicide bombers who blew up three subway cars and a bus on July 7, 2005. The arrests came a little over a year after two bombs fashioned from gas canisters failed to explode on German commuter trains. Officials said that attack was motivated by anger over cartoons portraying the Prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper. Several suspects are on trial in Lebanon, and a Lebanese man has been charged in Germany. Additionally, three of the four suicide pilots involved in the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the U.S. had lived and studied in Hamburg.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Petterson: Student protests in Bangladesh offer a powerful lesson in free speech. WWW.KANSAN.COM THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2007 EDITORIAL BOARD PAGE 7A Museum honors Big Mac's 40th birthday Sandwich doesn't represent industry so much as consumer excess America is a land of many traditions and standards. For instance, did you know that under each flag pole on each United States military base there can be found a gun, a bullet and a box of matches? These items are a symbol for the defense of freedom that represent the oath of the armed forces to fight to the last bullet and then burn the flag. Across the nation can be found museums commemorating battles, feats of American ingenuity, and natural wonders of this great land, all of them serving as a reminder of the past to those of us living in the present and working for a future. Museums are intended to educate, inspire, provide a link to history and to the discoveries of yore. So, it was with a low-hung head and a sigh that we read of the opening of a certain museum in Huntingdon, Penn. dedicated to two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on a sesame seed bun. Yes, the Big Mac is turning 40 this year and with this birthday celebration comes the establishment of an institution whose sole purpose is to educate its patrons about a hamburger sandwich. Jim Delligatti, 89, the McDonald's franchise owner who invented the fast-food, artery-clogging monstrosity in 1967, is the man responsible for the opening of the Big Mac Museum and Restaurant full of memorabilia, celebratory exhibits and "the world's largest Big Mac statue." MSNBC called the Big Mac "a veritable pop culture phenomenon." Really? Are people actually wasting money on this? We're no great philosophers, but there's something particularly idiotic and farcical about celebrating a fast food item. Do people really care when it was invented? Do they really give a damn where and when somebody first said, "Super Size Me!" Is this really a milestone in American culture of which we all should be proud? If so, it's a cultural low point We're a nation of idiots who commemorate monstrous commercialized hunks of charred flesh with plastic sculptures. We set golden calves (cooked ones at that) up on pedestals next to goofy red-haired clowns and expect people to have reverence for us as a nation. Well, we suppose that it is a symbol of how a simple idea can turn into a multi-million-dollar-a-year business. We congratulate McDonald's on its achievements as a corporation. They've shown us that no matter how successful and powerful a conglomerate is, they're still a bunch of people who never pass up an opportunity to display how insipid they really are. BURRITO-MADE EPIPHANIES Thank you, and have a nice day. DRAWING BOARD WELL KIDS, IT ALL STARTED WHEN THEY CANCELLED "PETE & PETE." THOSE RIOTS WERE WHAT TOOK MY ARM. THEN "DOUG" WAS THE NEXT TO GO AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE... GRAND, ALL US AGAIN ABOUT THE GREAT NICKELODEON WARS! ARM. THEN DOLG WAS THE NEXT TO GO AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE... Don't hide your quirks Everyone has embarrassing habits, so embrace them ROSS STEWART ROSS STEWART I don't want my roommate walking in on me watching "Murder She Wrote." There, I said it. MAX RINKEL Most males worry about their roomies interrupting other activities halfway through—activities like masturbation, the shaving of the "bathing suit areas" or sex. These things don't worry me, for I have a lock on my door. I, however, do not have a TV in my room, so to get my dirty cable-driven fix I have to go to our living room, where I can't hide my shame. This summer marked the beginning of my MSW, or "Murder She Wrote" dependency. I lived at home in Wichita with my family. I would come home from a day of school (I was a full time student this summer and by no means recommend it), sit down with my mother and watch an hour of Jessica Fletcher solving mysteries without the need of a walker, which I found astounding. Fletcher is the main character of "Murder She Wrote"—in every episode she'd use her skills as a mystery writer to help the police solve a murder. Fletcher carries homicides around with her like a handbag; if I saw her on a cross-country flight I'd lock myself in the lavatory until we landed. So, after two to three months of coming home to "Murder She Wrote," I became a habitual viewer—I have a MSW problem. Now when I'm bored at my apartment, I can't help but switch the TV over to (I'm shuddling as I type this) the Hallmark channel and watch some "Murder She Wrote" or, when in a bind, "Matlock." I think having a problem with cocaine and drinking is easier to admit then a MSW problem, Lindsay Lohan has nothing on me. We've all got our own dirty secrets, like my MSW problem. But upon transferring here I've been noticing groups of students on campus who seem to think they're God's gift to earth. I don't wish to rain on their parade, but I suppose I will, because someone has to and I've got nothing to lose (other than my reader base). Everyone has something they do that is as equally, if not more, embarrassing than my MSW problem. That being said, it can be concluded that no one is better than anyone else. We all have something we don't want other people to use as doing. It could be something serious like vomiting up your dinner because you think you're overweight or something more comical like having to once a week sit down and eat an entire can of whipped cream while listening to Raffi. We all have our little quirks and problems, but these by no means make any of us less than the rest. If someone swears they have nothing to hide, which in turn supposedly makes them better than the common reader and myself, I suggest they live in a glass house. All you high and mighty students on campus, I know you've got something on par to my MSW problem, so why don't you come down a few pegs there on the old stuck-up ladder? It's rather liberating to admit that you do have some flaws. I've got to go though, "Murder She Wr—," I mean "The Daily Show" is on. Stewart is a Wichita junior in journalism.

Sara Belfry, 2007 graduate, will begin working Monday as a litigation support assistant for Digital Evidence Group LLC. She said she was thrilled to land her dream job and live in the city. "It's such a great experience to be in your 20s, living in D.C.," Belfry said. The excitement doesn't come without the challenges of transitioning from a college student to professional. Belfry said she missed the relaxed atmosphere of college. She said she real- his job required him to always be informed. He watches more news, reads and writes blogs, and constantly checks his e-mail. Bohning also deals with constituent calls, which sometimes requires patience. "A lot of people are really nice," Bohning said. "But I can count on two a day that just don't care and say mean things, but it's my job to listen." "There's never a dull moment. For a political junkie like me, this is where it's all happening." BRANDON BOHNING 2007 graduate ized that her work now reflected on her company, and not her personally. In Washington, she said she felt the responsibility to act and look professional. "My clothes are definitely more expensive," Belfry said. "And I miss the lifestyle of being able to take a nap in the afternoon." As a staff assistant, Bohning said Bentley said although she felt more responsibility, she had less going on since her involvement in college. She finds the distance from friends and family challenging. cost of living is also a cultural shock. Bohning said living in Alexandria, Va., the community with the nation's fourth highest cost of living, was a challenge. He said everything in Alexandria cost at least 30 percent more than in Lawrence. Bentley said she wasn't prepared for the high rent payments after depending on academic scholarships as a student. Bohning said he still enjoyed going out, especially with the D.C. nightlife, but it was more difficult to balance how he spent his money. The graduates credit their Washington jobs to connections from the University. Bohning said professor Burdett Loomis' congress class and internships through the political science department had been valuable experiences. Bentley worked at the Dole Institute and met her future employer, Kellyanne Conway, when Conway was a guest for the 2006 Presidential Lecture series. Loomis, professor of political science, said internships and campaigns provided the best experience and connections. He said students should get their foot in the door, and work hard even if it was just volunteering. "It's important to develop your skills and have something to market," Loomis said. "And remember, no one gets rich on Capitol Hill when they're 23." Loomis said the fast pace of life in Washington wasn't for everyone. "After awhile people get the sense of whether they want to hang around," Loomis said. "You have to go in and expect the unexpected."

Instead of 65 teams batting their way to the Final Four, the teams with the best regular season records would fill the top slots and compete in games — one exhibition game each — to conclude their seasons. Sorry, Gonzaga, your tournament efforts have been admirable the past several years but you play in a mid-major conference, a significant step down in status from the Atlantic Coastal Conference, Southeastern Conference or Big 12 Conference. Instead of getting a chance to play your way to the top in the tournament, we're going to send you to an exhibition game against Iowa in Detroit and call it the Motor City Bowl. Kansas, North Carolina, UCLA and Getorgetown all have great seasons and, rather than having to prove themselves in a tournament, automatically get red carpet treatment and a spot in a "BCS bowl game." Forget about the winner of each game competing for a national championship. There will only be exhibition bowl games this year. If, and only if, you manage to go undefeated, you might sneak your way into a Bowl Championship Series game against a big team from a real basketball conference. George Mason and Wichita State, you get the same treatment. There will be no need for you to get your hopes up and play your way to the Elite Eight or Final Four because you will get bowl games too. Forget that the tournament is the only way to prove a real winner. We're going to switch to this BCS formula. Only the elite teams from marque conferences get a real shot at a top bowl game because it's the best way to find out who the cham urna- For fans who fill out brackets every year to predict who will make it to the Final Four, there will be no need for this because there will be 32 bowl games to replace the confusing tournament system. At the end of the season, there will be controversy over which teams should have played in the "National Title game,"which will make much more sense than letting the best teams in the country battle for the championship in a tournament. Now, to prove why this is going to be the best move for college basketball, we'll look at Division I-FBS college football to show the strength of having exhibition games, labeled as bowls, instead of a tournament. Almost every season, there are two to three teams from respected conferences at the end of the year with undefeated records that fill the two spots in the "National Title Game." There are several other teams with a loss or two who, if not for their loss, would be a contender for the championship match-up. The rest of the teams in college football that have few losses on their record can forget about competing in a tournament for the national title, and instead get a chance to play in an exhibition match. Sorry, Florida State, you lost three games and will be sentenced to play in the MPC Computers Bowl, formerly known as the Humanitarian Bowl. Ever been to Boise, Idaho in late December? I heard it's nice, and apparently they have this blue football field, which is really cool. It's often mistaken by birds as a lake where they can land.

Jessica Crabaugh/KANSAN High school teammates meet again BY ALISON CUMBOW cumbow@kansan.com The first of the mandatory four practices per week has ended for the Kansas soccer team, and the ritual cool-down stretches start. The women discuss their plans for the next few days, and with meeting times confirmed, they clear their throats and scream, "1, 2, 3, Hawks!" at the top of their lunes. The team heads off the field, where the players have been guzzling water from their Gatorade bottles and strip their shin guards off. Few by few the field empties, and coach Mark Francis and the captains head to the sideline for a meeting. The scene remains fairly typical of a soccer team practice, but one thing seems a little different. Through the sweat and visible exhaustion that follow each practice. the team can still be seen laughing and joking with one another all the way to the car. For five of the 32 teammates on the squad, their chemistry on and off the field has long been in the making. They were high school teammates. Like most of the women, more than a decade ago junior forward Sara Rogers, known as "Rog" by her teammates, began playing soccer. Before high school, she played on a club team, the KC Dynamos, where she met junior midfielder Missy Geha, who was then playing on a rival club team. Before long, Rogers convinced Geha to move to her side of the rivalry, and since then, they have been inseparable both on and off the field. Rogers and Geha entered St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, as freshmen in 2001. Both made the prestigious varsity soccer team, and eventually, the school's soccer hall of fame. St. Thomas Aquinas has produced many elite women's soccer players, most of whom move on to play at the college level. The St. Thomas Aquinas High School Web site lists women's soccer as having nine state championships, 11 league championships and 10 regional championships.

He's so good.' Then when he's that close you see how little he is and still able to do the things he does. I'm not that big either so to meet him — just a thrill." Collins and fellow guard Mario Chalmers learned from Nash for three days in early July at the Steve Nash Skills Academy in Union, N.J. Both said they came back with more knowledge of the point guard position and newly-learned techniques they can show off while leading the lajawhaks this season. At first, Collins and Chalmers didn't think they'd learn any new skills from Nash because Kansas coach Bill Self originally told them theyd just be working at the camp. Later, Collins and Chalmers discovered they'd actually be competing and doing drills with eight of the other top point guards in the country. "Mario and I did a good job against those guys," Collins said. "We really made a name for ourselves and stood out." Each day of camp started with drills that focus on passing, dribbling and jump shooting. Then the players would scrimmage each other five-on-five. On the final day, the college guards played against a group of the best high school guards. 1 Chalmers, perhaps more than Collins, had something to gain from this camp.

Self moved him to shooting guard where he's stayed since and excelled, averaging 12.2 points per game last season. Chalmers said it's up to Self to decide where he'll play this season and that he'd be willing to play either guard position. But that won't be the case in the NBA. He'll have to play the point because of his 6-foot-1 height. The camp allowed Chalmers to learn the position and show scouts he'll be ready for the pros.

Southeastern Louisiana, Kansas' next opponent, is not a great team. The Lions, a Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division 1-AA) team, are still in the process of rebuilding their program, which was re-introduced in 2003. They lost 35-14 in their opener to New Mexico State and were picked to finish last in the Southland Conference by the conference's sports information directors. But talk to Kansas coach Mark Mangino and his players and they'll say Southeastern Louisiana is capable of surprising the Memorial Stadium crowd Saturday. "They look real athletic on film and really fast," Kansas junior guard Chet Hartley said. "It's going to be a tough game." Southeastern Louisiana has played five FBS (formerly Division 1-A) opponents in the last five years. The Lions are 0-5 in those games, losing by an average of 31 points. The Jayhawks faced one of the best teams in the Southland Conference last year, Northwestern State, and demolished it, 48-19. The Lions played fellow Big 12 Conference school Texas Tech last season and were waxed, 62-0. All signs point to a lopsided victory for the Jayhawks against the Lions. Mangino, however, isn't so convinced. "This is a team looking for a vic tory, and it's our job to make sure it doesn't happen here," he said. "We've always said we prepare for everyone the same way. That's just me and how I view the game, and our kids understand that." The players definitely seem to be focused on the game against the Lions. Coming off a 52-7 blow out win over Central Michigan, a team that won 10 games and the Motor City Bowl last year, it's almost expected that players would be overconfident. Not the Jayhawks. Instead of boasting about its outstanding performance, the team is concentrating on how it can get better. "We are pretty close to being great but we can't settle for this because we made a lot of mistakes," sophomore safety Darrel Stuckey said. "There is still a lot of room for improvement." Even if the Jayhawks weren't busy working to improve; Mangino said a certain football game last weekend should serve as a reminder to never take an opponent lightly. He was, of course, alluding to FCS team Appalachian State, that upset then No. 5 Michigan, 34-32. At least one Jayhawk compared the Mountaineers to the Lions. Freshman cornerback Chris Harris said that Southeastern Louisiana was probably motivated by Appalachian State's performance. "We can't sleep on any team. Every team is trying to be Appalachian State," he said, "so we are coming very prepared this week." - Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Jayhawks have history of FCS victories, Lions don't look tough to beat BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com This weekend's match-up against Southeastern Louisiana is not the first time the Jayhawks have squared off against a Football Championship Subdivision, formerly Division 1-AA, opponent. In fact, the Jayhawks have scheduled an FCS opponent in all but one season of the Mark Mangino era. During Mangino's tenure, Kansas has never fallen flat on its face against a lower-division foe. Here's a look back at the Jayhawks' last four games against FCS teams: 2002 MISSOURI STATE 2002 Mangino had lost his first two games as coach at Kansas when Missouri State came to Lawrence in week three of the 2002 season. Kansas did not pummel Missouri State, only out-gaining the Bears by 29 offensive yards. Kansas quarterback Bill Whittemore threw two interceptions, but running back Clark Green tallied 131 rushing yards and the Jayhawks triumphed, 44-24. at a glance Location: Hammond, Louisiana Enrollment: 15,118 Mascot: Lions Colors: Green and gold Conference finish: 7 (Southern) Head coach: Mike Lucas 2006 record: 2-9 2003 JACKSONVILLE STATE The 2003 season went a bit better for Mangino and the Jayhawks. When the Jacksonville State Gamecocks rolled into Memorial Stadium, Kansas was 2-1 and coming off of a victory against Wyoming. After the Gamecocks rolled out of Lawrence with a 41-6 loss on their résumé, Kansas was 3-1. The Jayhawks somehow accrued 641 yards of total offense, nearly three times the amount the Gamecocks could muster. Whittemore threw for 319 yards and wide receiver Brandon Rideau recorded 106 receiving yards. APPALACHIAN STATE 2005 The Mountainees went on to win the FCS national title but were no match for the Jayhawks on Sept. 10. In front of 37,070 spectators, running back Jon Cornish battered Appalachian State, picking up 103 yards in the first big game of his Kansas career. The famed 2005 Jayhawk linebacking corps enjoyed a great day as Banks Floodman, Nick Reid and Kevin Kane combined for 28 tackles en route to a 36-8 win. The victory helped Kansas reach seven wins in 2005, good enough to earn a trip to the Fort Worth Bowl. 2006 2006 NORTHWESTERN STATE Jon Cornish once again feasted on an opponent from the FCS ranks, collecting 140 rushing yards in the season opener. It was an auspicious debut for quarterback Kerry Meier, who threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more. Kansas racked up 49 points to Northwestern State's 18 and outgained the Demons on the ground by 147 yards. This year's foe, Southeastern Louisiana, might be the weakest of the FCS teams Kansas has faced recently. The Lions went 2-9 last season against largely unheralded competitors from the Southland Conference and lost the 2007 season opener to a low-level FBS team. Southeastern Louisiana lost to New Mexico State, 35-14, last week despite keeping the game close through the first half. Speaking in a teleconference earlier this week, Coach Mike Lucas did not sound optimistic about his team's chances at Memorial Stadium. He spent much of the conference call touting Kansas' personnel. "Kansas has two absolute monsters who are very athletic anchoring a very good offensive line," Lucas said. "They have two very good running backs and their quarterback has a quick release and is throwing to a pair of big, athletic receivers." Lucas went on to speak highly of senior tight end Derek Fine and junior cornerback Aqib Talib. He said his team was intending to improve and sharpen its skills this weekend against Kansas. If past results provide any indication, the Jayhawks may not have their hands full against the Lions. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell football notebook » Coach Mark Mangino said junior cornerback Kendrick Harper's recovery from an injury was progressing as expected. The time frame for Harper's return remains somewhat uncertain. Mangino said that Harper should definitely be back in time to travel to Kansas State on Oct. 6 but that he could play against Florida International on Sept. 22. Harper, a Butler County Community College transfer, was expected to start at cornerback until his training camp injury Freshman Chris Harris started in Harper's place last week. Mangino also said freshman linebackers Drew Dudley and Justin Springer could see more playing time as Kansas plays the rest of its nonconference games. Both Dudley and Springer played on special teams last weekend and appeared on defense in the fourth quarter. Dudley is listed as the team's No. 2 middle linebacker but Springer, who made two tackles against Central Michigan, is not included on the most recent depth chart for the position. Asher Fusco 》 PRO WRESTLING Edited by Chris Beattie Doctors analyze Benoit murders BY HARRY R. WEBER ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA (AP) — Pro wrestler Chris Benoit suffered head trauma from his years in the ring that could help explain why he killed his wife, son and himself, a doctor who studied his brain said Wednesday. The analysis by doctors affiliated with the Sports Legacy Institute suggested that repeated concussions could have contributed to the killings at Benoit's suburban Atlanta home, though there was no way to know for sure. "Whether it is the sole factor, I believe, is speculation, and I will not go there," said Dr. Robert Cantu, a member of the Waltham, Mass- based institute, which researches the long-term effects of concussions. The level of brain damage Benoit had could have caused depression and irrational behavior, said Cantu, who also is chief of neurosurgery service at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Mass. Richard Decker, an attorney for the mother of Benoit's slain wife, said the brain test results "don't make a lot of difference to us." "Even if the theories about the effects of continuing trauma on Chris' personality are accurate, they don't rule out Chris' excessive steroid use, which we know he was involved in, as a factor in the murders." Decker said. "In either case, it wouldn't excuse his conduct." SINCE 1950 Jersey Mike's SUBS SINCE 1950 Jersey Mike's SUBS Buy One Sub Get One 1/2 Price! Every Tuesday & Thursday—no coupon required!

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN HURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2007 SPORTS 5B SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) would also end up playing alongside the two Aquinas veterans in college: freshman midfielder Erin Ellefson, freshman forward/midfielder Taylor Blue and freshman goalkeeper Geneva Magness. "There is so much talent at Aquinas, people go there to play soccer. I knew going in, it was going to be tough competition. Playing soccer is a really big deal there," Elfson said. Ellefson, Blue and Magness won three out of four state championships during their high school careers. All three women decided upon KU to continue playing soccer. Ellefon said that Rogers and Geha were good influences. "I think they had a little bit to do with my decision to play at KU. Getting here, it was easier playing with them, and I know their style of play, their tendencies, and stuff like that," Elferson said. Aquinas coach Craig Ewing did his best to provide adequate preparation for all five Aquinas-turned-KU players during their four years of high school. Ewing has been the head soccer coach at Aquinas since 1988, and his overall coaching record for varsity soccer is 541-165-33. He has been named National Coach of the Year three times, in 1993, 1996 and 2005. "He strives to win," Geha said. "He lets you know that. We're here to win, and we're going to win this game. He definitely prepared us for college." To an outsider, it might seem to an outsize like there's something in the water at St. Thomas Aquinas. The amount of soccer talent produced from a single school is almost surreal. Ewing has coached 126 players who have gone on to play college soccer. After reuniting with her former high school teammates, Rogers said she has seen improvement in her younger counterparts. She said they have become stronger and faster. The five Aquinas women know each other's style by heart, after having played together for such a long time. This is an asset to the team, especially during game play. In 2005, Roger's first assist of her college career was to Geha during a game against Texas Tech. "We've played with each other "We can win the first half, but we need to finish out the next 45 minutes. We need to kick the other team's butt, and this weekend we're going to do really, really well. I am excited to be playing at home." Magness said that Rogers and Geha were two of the best players on the team in high school. MISSY GEHA junior midfielder with each other for seven years now," Rogers said. "Playing with her for that long has definitely bettered our game. It's nice to know how other people play. We play to each other's strengths." Although Rogers and Gehne never competed against each other for starting spots because they both played different positions, Rogers said that no one had a locked spot on the team. She said that the large amount of players created a lot of competition, which was a good thing. The team, back from a disappointing Labor Day weekend tournament in Hawaii, has high hopes for its home opener at 5 p.m. today at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex against Brigham Young University. "We need to be consistent," Geha said. "We can win the first half, but we need to finish out the next 45 minutes. We need to kick the other team's butt, and this weekend we're going to do really, really well. I am excited to be playing at home." Each of the five women have the same ambitions for this season to make the team better. Making goals and finishing plays are at the top of the list, and there is always room for improvement. As an elite high school soccer player, college soccer is the next step. After college soccer, there isn't much left to step up to. Geha said that a semi-professional team is in the works to start up again when she and Rogers graduate. Until then, the KU women's soccer team as a whole, and its individual players will strive to make this season an unforgettable one. "I have been blessed to be able to play with the people that I do," Geha said. "It gives me the worst feeling to think that I only have a year and a half of playing with all of my teammates." Edited by Kaitlyn Syring WHEELER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) To decide who gets to play in the greatest exhibition game in all of college football, a series of highly subjective polls are used to determine the No.1 and No.2 teams. As for the other teams, the best of the rest from the power football conferences are placed in BCS exhibition matches. There are four BCS games with cute names like "Sugar Bowl," "Rose Bowl," "Fiesta Bowl" and "Orange Bowl." Every once in a while, if a team from a mid-major conference goes undefeated like Boise State did show their worth on the field. In the wake of Appalachian State's victory comes the age-old question: Why on earth does FBS college football not have a tournament to decide the best team in the country? last year, they might gain enough popularity to play in a BCS game. Looking back on the. Appalachian State, on the other hand, had nothing to lose coming into Ann Arbor, Mich., since its division (FCS, formerly Division 1-AA) actually has a tournament at the end of the season to determine who the best team is. Maybe Michigan was caught off-guard and Looking back on the Appalachian State and Michigan match-up last weekend, it appears that Michigan likely lost any chance of playing in the "national title game" this year. Michigan's subjective No. 5 ranking in both the AP Poll and USA Today Poll is an embarrassment for the people who voted them to be the fifth best team in the country. Because the Wolverines play in the FBS, they do not have to win any sort of tournament at the end of the season to did not expect Appalachian State to put up a fight. Or it could have been because Appalachian State knew how to play in high-stakes games and win, just as they did the previous two years in their division championship tournaments. In the wake of Appalachian State's victory comes the age-old question: Why on earth does FBS college football not have a tournament to decide the best team in the country? In what was supposed to be an easy game for Michigan, it turned out to be an embarrassment for the Wolverine's football program and FBS football as a sport. Michigan, who was supposed to play No. 23 Hawaii, opted for an "easy" game instead and offered Appalachian State $400,000 to come all the way from Boone, N.C., to Ann Arbor, Mich., and then to let Michigan stomp them into the ground. Unfortunately for Michigan, Appalachian State did not get the memo on the whole losing part and left Michigan's Big House with a fat check and 110,000 unsatisfied Wolverine fans. The upset hurt the validity of the college football rankings. If Michigan can't beat a team that it paid to come to its stadium, then who knows who the best teams in the country are? Had the Wolverines won, they would be one game closer to working their way towards winning the Big Ten Conference and maybe a national championship. Some people may point out that Appalachian State is the two-time defending National Champion in FCS football, but the fact that it is an FCS team leaves no excuse for the No. 5 team in the nation to lose the game. In FBS football, each year there is a controversy over who plays in the "national title game." The actual process of deciding who will play for the national championship, the infamous BCS rankings, is determined by a number of subjective polls including the USA Today Coaches' Poll, the Harris Interactive Poll and six BCS computer rankings. So basically, the two teams that play for the "National Championship" are decided by a popularity contest and computers. Instead, they should be decided by a tournament. The two highest ranked BCS teams play a game against each other, bypassing the traditional sports idea of a tournament, and the winner is crowned the "National Champion." How does the Appalachian State and Michigan game tie into the whole BCS process? Michigan was looking for the easiest route to the national championship and figured Appalachian State would be an easy game early in its season that it could use as a tune-up for the rest of its season. If a队 like Appalachian State can beat one of the most respected football programs in the country, then it should have a chance to play in a season-ending tournament against such marquee teams where its wins could be rewarded by a championship, not just praises of "upsetting" those teams. Appalachian State could be the "George Mason" of college football, but no one will ever know as long as the BCS, not a tournament, determines the nation's best team. Kansan sports columnist Bryan Wheeler can be reached at bwheeler@kansan.com —Edited by Chris Beatue NFL Manning and Brees go head-to-head BY MICHAEL MAROT ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Peyton Manning grew up in New Orleans, the favorite son in a city where his father, Archie, was considered royalty. Drew Brees grew up in Texas, an overlooked high school recruit who eventually resurrected Purdue's image as Quarterback U. Now the New Orleans native and the Purdue favorite have changed places. When the NFL season kicks off Thursday night, Manning will be Indiana's reigning king while Brees returns to his former college state as the bright hope for a resurgent New Orleans franchise — and the despised opponent. The two became friends when Brees was a Heisman Trophy candidate at Purdue, about an hour northwest of Indianapolis. Since then, their paths have crossed several times. "I'm sure there will be some Boilers fans there, but they'll probably all be wearing Colts jerseys," Brees said. For Manning and Brees, the NFL's marque opening match-up will be more reunion than rivalry. Both have been major players in supporting the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. But on the field, Manning and Brees have been ferocious competitors. In December 2004, their first pro meeting, Brees had better numbers, but Manning broke the single-season touchdown record and wound up a 34-31 winner over San Diego. The rematch, in December 2005 went to Brees' Chargers in a 26-17 upset that ended Indy's perfect start at 13-0. This time, the game will come with more hype and all the trimmings of a Super Bowl winner. Spicy Red Wine Sauce!!

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Now as a sophomore, Collins said he'd have more responsibility. His lessons from Nash will certainly help with that. He said Nash's camp taught him intangibles and fundamentals that he'd never learned anywhere else. Unlike Chalmers, Collins played point guard most of the time last season. He developed a reputation for coming through at the end of games. His clutch scoring helped lead Kansas to victory against Kansas State and Missouri. Nash gave Chalmers and Collins a few other tips about point guarding too. But they won't display those until the season starts. "He showed us a lot of tricks." Collins said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Somber end for Serena NEW YORK — A sullen Serena Williams exited the locker room, her racket bag slung across two shoulders, her U.S. Open over after a third consecutive Grand Slam loss to Justine Henin. Finding all the right angles and hanging tough on long rallies. Henin beat Williams 7-6 (3), 6-1 Tuesday night to reach the U.S. Open semifinals. Henin defeats Williams, advances to U.S. Open semifinals That high-powered match was followed by the biggest surprise so far on the men's side. No. 2 Rafael Nadal's body broke down and he lost to No. 15 David Ferrer, who reached his first U.S. Open quarterfinal. Ferrer's 6-7 (3), 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2 victory, which finished at 1:50 a.m. Wednesday, means there won't be a third consecutive major final between Nadal and No. 1 Roger Federer. While Williams waited for a courtesy car at the player exit, her mother, who also is her coach, put an arm around her neck for a quick, consoling hug. Mom whispered something, and Williams looked straight ahead, apparently still not in any mood to dissect the defeat an hour after it ended. The formerly No. 1-ranked Williams is the active leader among women with eight Grand Slam titles, but current No. 1 Henin now has a chance to claim her seventh major. Williams' postmatch news conference began with a query about whether she could explain what went wrong. Her reply: "No. I can't. I'm sorry. Any more questions?" "I was a bit concerned during the first set because I wasn't aggressive enough. Then from the tiebreak until the end, I played unbelievable tennis," Hienn said after compiling a "She made a lot of lucky shots," Williams said a moment later, "and I made a lot of errors." 30-17 edge in winners. "My tournament is not over — far from that." Her next opponent could be another Williams; Serena's older sister, Venus, faces No. 3 Jelena Jankovic in the quarterfinals Wednesday night. Not much question for whom Henin will be rooting — she's 1-7 against Venus Williams, 7-0 against Jankovic. "Every match is a final for me now," Henin said. "If I have to play Venus, it will be a good challenge for me to play both sisters in the same tournament." Henin said. The match turned out to be far less competitive than the men's fourth-round action. That included Ferrer's defeat of Nadal. Put it this way: A weary Novak Djokovic was relieved to pocket his victory. The No. 3-seeded Djokovic reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the first time by beating No. 23 Juan Monaco 7-5, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (6), 6-1 in a match that included the unusual sight of Monaco losing a point because a tennis ball fell out of his shorts. "I went nuts! I was cursing at me. I was yelling at my pants," Monaco said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Hamilton hopes to get back in Broncos lineup soon ASSOCIATED PRESS ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Ben Hamilton's streak of 5,407 consecutive snaps since becoming the Denver Broncos' starting left guard in 2002 is about to end. Chris Myers will get the start Sunday at Buffalo because doctors have ordered Hamilton not to do any type of physical activity for two weeks in hopes his post-concussion symptoms will finally fade. Hamilton, who banged helmets with a teammate in camp a month ago and sat out the entire preseason, remains optimistic he'll be back in the lineup soon. "I'm feeling good. It's kind of a day-by-day deal, and once I start feeling better, I'll definitely be practicing and ready to go." Hamilton said Wednesday. "I'm not too scared. The doctors say I will definitely feel better." Hamilton has had a tough time dealing with being sidelined, however. "I've never had to miss any time with any injury or anything that's happened to me in the past, or any adversity," he said. "This is just something I've learned that you can't just push through it, like when you sprain your ankle or something like that. You have to wait until you're 100 percent. If you try to fight against it, you're going to lose every time." Hamilton gets dizzy whenever he does any cardiovascular work and he'll revisit specialists in Pittsburgh next week for more medical tests to determine whether he can return to practice. The NFL has implemented tough new guidelines on players who get concussions. "But I think even without those rules the Broncos would be pretty cautious with me," Hamilton said. "I felt no pressure that I must get back or we need you by this time. They're going to let it run its course, just like the doctor said. And I will get better." GYMNASTICS U.S. tops China and Romania for world title ASSOCIATED PRESS STUTTGART, Germany — Nastia Liukin couldn't watch. She knew she might be the one who had let another world title slip away. Alicia Sacramone couldn't wait. She wanted to get out on the floor, show 'em what she had, and see if it was good enough to save the day. Sacramone did it, coming through with a floor routine full of attitude and glitz, one good enough to rally the Americans to a world championship Wednesday and prove that winning gold medals in gymnastics is more about determination than perfection. And Liukin could finally breathe again. "These are not machines," national team coordinator Martha Karolyi explained after her team overcame two big mistakes on the balance beam that could have cost them the meet. "As much as we strive for perfection, it's still not possible because we're just human people." That came shining through during a crazy, dramatic, emotional roller-coaster of an ending, filled with tears of joy, anguish and relief. The Americans finished with 184.4 points, beating defending champion China by .95 for their second world title, and the first they've won on foreign soil. Romania took the bronze after getting shut out of team medals last year for the first time since 1981. Sacramone powered through her flip combinations and landed without looking down, knowing shed stayed inside the lines. And in the corners, there she was, seductively running her hand down her leg and flinging her arms open to the crowd as if to say "I'll be appearing here nightly at 9." Sacramone's winning floor exercise was as clutch as any pass ever thrown by Peyton Manning or basket made by M.J. "I told them, 'Everyone makes mistakes, but we still have one more event and it's one of our best events, so we might as well go out there and have fun and show everybody what Though in this case, the coup de grace was every bit as much a stage show as an athletic performance. we've got," she said. The American comeback became necessary when Liukin, a former world champion on beam, couldn't close out what had been shaping up as one of the best routines of her life on the sport's most difficult event. Could it have been too good? "I guess I just got too excited too early," she said. The landing of her last flip resulted in an awkward thud. Later, she said she thought her foot slid halfway off the beam. Instead of poising She scored a 15.175, losing about a point off her usual mark. She rattled the team, and national champion Shawn Johnson followed with an equally costly and unexpected mistake, a fall off the beam that knocked her score down about a point, as well. Liukin didn't want to be part of that experience again. Making it more difficult was that she was not slated for the floor exercise, leaving her stuck in the corner and forced to watch — well, sort of watch — as her teammates tried to bail her out. That's two misses out of 12 in a meet where scores from every routine count. Last year, two mistakes cost the Americans the gold, leaving them befuddled as they walked out of the gym in Denmark, feeling they were better than the Chinese team that won. herself for a flip with 2½ twists on the dismount, she settled for a back tuck — the kind of thing you see at the kid's meet down the street on Saturday mornings. "Honestly, it's so much harder watching and not being able to compete," she said. "I felt like I was nervous on beam, but when I was watching the girls on the floor, I was more nervous because it was ours to grab and there was nothing I could do about it." Li Shanshan put way too much power into her last tumbling pass, two piked somersaults. She stumbled backward, topped onto her backside and riccheted wildly out The Chinese went into the last event leading but made a mistake on floor that brought the Americans right back into contention. MARTHA KAROLYI National team coordinator "These are not machines.As much as we strive for perfection, it's not possible because we're just human people." of bounds. "I certainly want to win the gold, and in Beijing also," Chinese coach Lu Shanzhen said of next year's Olympics. "But it's competition. There's only one gold, and you can- ready herself for a roundoff onto the springboard. But she suddenly cut her speed, stayed upright and touched the springboard then stopped. About the same time Shanshan was falling, Russian vaulter Ekaterina Kramarenko flew down the runway and put her arms up to She received a 0.0 for that unheard-of mistake. The sight of her weeping on the sidelines wasn't as jarring as that of her teammate, Elena Zamolodchikova, heaving with sobs as she stood on the runway to prepare for her now-meaningless vault. not always keep the gold." Russia led the meet halfway through, but finished in last place. The United States finished in first, and Johnson, the national champion, also deserves heaps of credit. She had to recover from her error on beam to put together a floor routine that would give Sacramone a chance to win it. She came through. Her floor routine was a perfectly steady, high-flying roam around the mat, her face always gleaming with a smile. She scored a 15,375, and when she stutted off, she stopped to hug Sacrament as if the Americans had already won. "All the girls were like, 'You can do it, it's fine,' Sacramento said. 'I was like, 'C'mon guys, I'm fine.' I am like 'OK, I've done this routine so many times.'" She did it once more with feeling. This time, it resulted in a team gold medal — the first in a competition this big since 2003. Since then, there have been two close-call losses, first to Romania in the Olympics, then to China last year. (The 2005 worlds was not a team competition.) This victory establishes the United States as the team to beat next year in Beijing. "We're going into the Olympic Games as world champions," Luukin said. "How much better can you feel?"

The Rangers won the game 3-2. Vicente Padilla pitched two-hit shutout ball for six innings, Hank Blalock had two hits and two RBIs, and the Texas Rangers hung on to beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 on Wednesday night. ASSOCIATED PRESS Michael Young added two hits, and Frank Catalanotto reached base three times to help the Rangers win for the ninth time in their last 11 games. C ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas City 1 Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kyle Davies watches his pitch during the second inning of the baseball game against the Texas Rangers. Davies pitched his seventh start since transferring to the Royals. Padilla (5-9) struck out five and walked two as the Royals got only one runner as far as third base against him. Joquin Benoit, the Rangers' fifth pitcher, pitched a perfect ninth for his third save in seven chances. Padilla began the season as the Rangers' No. 2 starter, but he lost his six of his first seven decisions and then was out from June 25 to Aug. 14 due to right triceps irritation. He was sharp from the outset in this one, retiring nine of the first 10 batters he faced, allowing only a first-inning walk until Mark Grudzielanek singled leading off the fourth. Royals starter Kyle Davies (2-4) allowed two runs — one earned — and three hits in five innings. He struck out five and walked four. Davies was making his seventh start since he was acquired from the Atlanta Braves for reliever Octavio Dotel on July 31. He was 4-8 with a 5.76 ERA in 17 starts for the Braves. Blalock's RBI double in the second got Texas on the board, and Young singled in a run in the fifth to make it 2-0. Kansas City loaded the bases with two out in the sixth, but Padilla retired Alex Gordon on a called third strike to preserve a 2-0 lead. Blalock's run-scoring single in the sixth off John Bale made it 3-0. John Buck's two-run homer off Wes Littleton in the seventh drew the Royals within 3-2. It was Buck's 18th home run of the year. NOTES The teams met for the final time this season with Kansas City holding a 4-4 edge. The Royals need one more win to avoid their fourth consecutive 100-loss season. Padilla hit Kansas City's Mike Sweeney on the right wrist with a pitch in the sixth but Sweeney remained in the game. The crowd of 17,232 was the smallest at home for the Rangers this season. Rangers LHP Bill White made his major league debut in the seventh. >> NFL Drunken driving arrests earn Allen two-week suspension ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Football figures to be a lonely experience for Jared Allen the next couple of weeks. "It'll be tough," Allen said. "Because nobody loves playing football more than me." Kansas City's suspended defensive end can be on the practice field. But only by himself. He'll be no different from millions of other football fans who are watching the action but wishing they could strap on the pads and play. While the rest of the Chiefs are running through plays and getting ready for their season opener at Houston on Sunday, Allen, according to terms of his suspension for multiple drunken-driving arrests, must not be anywhere around. He's allowed to attend team meetings but not practice. He can work out with strength and conditioning coaches and use team facilities the next two weeks. But he can't travel with the team or stay at the team hotel when they go to Houston and Chicago for the first two games. Before and after each game, he's barred from the locker room. It could be worse — much worse It could be worse — much worse — for both Allen and the Chiefs. His off-the-field misplays first drew a four-game suspension. But taking everyone by surprise, including Allen and team officials, commissioner Roger Goodell rewarded the player's improved behavior and vow to stay sober by slicing the penalty in half. "He's the only suspended player in the NFL that had his suspension reduced," said Chiefs president Carl Peterson. "As of this week, there were 19 players who had been suspended by the commissioner for this year and I think Jared Allen's is the only two-game suspension." In the meantime, Kansas City named its three captains on Wednesday — guard Brian Waters on offense, linebacker Donnie Edwards on defense and safety Jon McGraw on special teams. Each position group voted separately on its own leader. The captains will have the option of wearing patches on their game uniforms. “It's up to them,” said head coach Herm Edwards. “When you think about it, it's a great honor to be a captain of your football team.” Edwards also said left tackle Damion McIntosh, who has not played since injuring a knee on Aug. 1, went through a full practice. One player not in practice was defensive lineman Ron Edwards. I told him, 'Relax. You can't come to practice. You're OK.' He be fine! Allen, at the Chiefs' urging, will be at every team meeting during his two-week suspension. "I'm going to prepare as if I'm starting week one," he said. "My routine for the next two weeks isn't going to be any different than it absolutely has to be. I'm going to treat these next two weeks as though I'm preparing to play." "Ron Edwards just had a little boy this morning," said Edwards. "He was stuttering and all nervous. The 6-foot-6, 270-pounder led the NFL with six fumble recoveries last year and shows all the signs of a young player about to break into stardom. With 27.5 sacks his first three seasons, he's already in Kansas City's all-time top 10. He came into camp this year trimmed down and in top condition, and his production showed it. "I feel great. I'm in a rhythm right now," he said. "I really wish I didn't have to miss these two games." --sunflower (913) 662-7099 BROADBAND 15510 STATE AVE, SUITE 1 BASEHOR, KANSAS 66007 You never know when youre going to be on TV!

(785) 841-2100 1 RIVERFRONT PLAZA, SUITE 301 LAWRENCE, KARASK 68044 MLB BOSTON ASSOCIATED PRESS Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka looks at the scoreboard while leaving the game in the seventh innings of baseball action against the New York Yankees Tuesday at Yankee Stadium in New York. The red Sox lost the game 5-3. Dice-K finally gets run support in win Pitcher wins for first time in a month ASSOCIATED PRESS Before winning his first game in more than a month on Monday — BOSTON — The $103 million man has a 7.61 ERA in his last four starts. Daisuke Matsuzaka is struggling at a bad time for the Boston Red Sox. They have baseball's best record and want to build momentum as the pennant race heats up. Lately, Matsuzaka has been a momentum stopper. he answered seven nits in that one — the righthand- hand had lost his three previous starts. Those losses ended a pair of two-game winning streaks and one four-game surge. That's not quite what the "There have been a few games in a row where I haven't been happy about my pitching." "I felt that I could pitch well enough to cover those bad breaks." Matsuzaka said through a translator. "I felt that my stuff was better compared to my last start." DAISUKE MATSUZAKA Boston Red Sox pitcher Matsuzaka started the inning by putting the first three runners on, but two reached on a bloop single and an infield hopper off his glove. In that one, he gave up five runs in 61-3 innings and lost to the New York Yankees 5-3. He lost the game when he allowed Johnny Damon's tie-breaking two-run homer in the seventh inning. For much of the season, he hasn't had much help. The Red Sox have scored two runs or less while he was in the game in 12 of his prior 17 starts before Monday's slugfest. After he left that game with one out in the sixth, reliever Javier Lopez allowed two of the runners Matsuzaka put on base, to score. Red Sox hoped for when they paid $51.11 million just for the right to negotiate with his Japanese team, and then gave the celebrated rookie a six-year, $52 million contract before he had thrown a single pitch in the majors. "I thought his pitches were crisp all along," Francona said. "That inning got away from us in a hurry." "There have been a few games in a row where I haven't been happy about my pitching." Dice-K said after his 13-10 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays gave him a 14-11 record. Boston manager Terry Francona said Matsuzaka pitched well Monday. Perhaps he's wearing down. Matsuzaka was victimized by the long ball again, a three-run homer by Troy Glaus in that eight-run sixth that turned a 10-1 rout into a 10-9 squeaker. It was the 21st horen off Matsuzaka this season. Only 10 AL pitchers have allowed more. In his eight seasons in lapan, he had more than his current 28 starts just once. With 181 2-3 innings, he's on pace to pass 200 for just the third time in his pro career. But he clearly benefits from more rest. "I personally don't think it's a problem," Matsuzaka said. One reason Boston signed him is last year's performance with the Seibu Lions — 200 strikeouts, 34 walks, a 17-5 record and a 2.13 ERA in 186 1-3 innings. He was fifth in the AL with 177 strikeouts after Monday's game, but he struck out just five in his last two starts combined. And his 67 walks were seventh most in the league. In Japan, he pitched in a six- Catcher Jason Varitek, whose knowledge of the hitters has been a big boost for Matsuzaka's first year in the majors, didn't sound worried. man rotation and had five days off between starts. With the Red Sox, Matsuzaka is 5-6 with a 4.56 ERA with four days rest, 8-4 with a 4.01 ERA with five days rest and 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA with six or more days rest. Other than an Aug. 15 outing against Tampa Bay in which he allowed six runs in six innings, Matsuzaka "has thrown the ball well," recently, Varitek said. "He's throwing the ball better than his results. So quality starts are all we're looking for and Dice has done that over and over for us." Big innings have hurt Matsuzaka all year. He's given up four or more runs in an inning seven times, accounting for 32 of the 83 runs he's allowed all season. So Monday's outing wasn't unusual — five strong innings followed by a bad one. --- GAMEDAY PAGE 8B THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN JAYPLAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2007 THE WONDER OF WORSHIP A PHOTO ESSAY PAGE 8 IN THE BAG DECH PLASTIC FOR CANVAS PAGE 7 tts/KANSAN nking.

According to the Associated Press, the study found that men want attractive women. Drop City, a hipple commune founded by former KU students Gene and JoAnn Bernofsky in 1965, is located near Trinidad, Colo. It was one of the era's first communes. Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said the media's influence on how men and women view attractiveness may have influenced the results of the study. Rose-Mockry said that "From the Inside Out," a peer education group sponsored through the Women's Resource Center, raises awareness of issues related to body image. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO FULL STORY PAGE 3A communicators inspired One of the first communes of the era, Drop City, was founded by former University students Gene and JoAnn Bernofsky. during time spent in Lawrence Few Lawrence residents or KU students may realize that one of the events that marked the beginning of the counterculture movement in the 1960s had its beginnings at the University of Kansas.

Lean in. I'm going to tell you a secret. My senior year of high school, someone ran a four-way stop and totaled my first car. Just weeks later, I was driving my hand-medown Camry on my way to Hastings, when I too carelessly damaged another vehicle. I could hear a slight crunch over the sound of my stereo as I pulled in next to the teal Neon. I got out of the car, examined the foot-long shallow gash, and decided not to leave a note or wait for the owner to return, but to head into the store and rent a movie.I don't know why I didn't face the situation. I was afraid and spineless. Read about Jared Duncan's similar secret on pg. 15. As we put together this issue, other unnamed Jayplay staffers confessed to lying about the circumstances of car accidents too. Take it from Jared and us — the guilt isn't worth escaping punishment. Also be sure to check out Alaide Vilchis Ibarra's profile of a bus driver with the gift of gab on pg. 4, and the next time you hop off of a bus, tip the karmic scales your way by saying thank you. 04 60 08 Jaime Netzer, Editor ON THE COVER: PHOTO/JON GOERING GRAPHIC/BRENNA HAWLEY calendar 03 MUSIC AND EVENTS Red Balloon To Do, Cosmic Bowling and more DRIVEN TO GAB He'll give your mental wheels a spin BYOB: BRING YOUR OWN BAG Why Mother Nature likes it in the (canvas) sack A TENDER TOSS OF FUN Sometimes it's good to be a tosser THE LIGHT FROM ABOVE Spotlight on the Ethiopian Orthodox Church health 12 EVERY ROSACEA HAS ITS THORN A rosy face isn't always cheerful one speak15 HIT AND RUN Why honesty really is the best policy JAYPLAYERS EDITOR ■ 2 BC Jaime Netzer ASSOCIATE EDITOR AU JEWS Dani Hurst DESIGNERS DIANTHUS CARYOPHYLLUSES Brenna Hawley Bryan Marvin ART DIRECTOR PUDDIN'POP Becka Cremer 02→ JAYPLAY 09.06.2007 PHOTOGRAPHERS ■ MACGYVER STUFF Anna Faltermeier ARTIST IN A PINCH Catherine Coquillette HEALTH GOOD FOR YOU Jared Duncan Megan Hirt Chris Horn PEOPLE ■ KNOW EVERYONE Nick Finnegan Alaide Vilich ibara SCENE ■ HIT THE TOWN Adrienne Bommarito Seongbae Cheon Kyle Gray NOTICE ▼ TAKE NOTE OF IT Nathan Gill Ashley Thompson CONTACT ■ HELP YOUR LOVE LIFE Patrick Griffith Daniel Reyes CLERK GETS AROUND TOWN Michael Peterson CREATIVE CONSULTANT ■ KNOWS A LOT Colol Holstead WRITE TO US jayplay07@gmail.com JAYPLAY The University Daily Kansan 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall 1435 Jayhawk Blvd. Lawrence, KS 66045 VOLUME 5, ISSUE 4 O calendar september 6 THURSDAY Lawrence Art Guild Members Exhibition.

"Do you go to the dorms?" "No, I go up on campus and then Spencer, "Keith McDougale, a bus driver from Oakland, Calif., pauses for a second as he moves his hand away from the steering wheel and reaches for a "KU on Wheels" bus schedule. "Do you have one of these?" The girl doesn't. McDougale hands her a schedule as he tells her to wait for the night bus that should be there in a few minutes. McDougale closes the door and waits for a few minutes eating a peach he takes from his red lunch box. "I love being a bus driver because I'm a people person. I just have the gift of gab." It is true. McDougale talks to me for about 10 minutes without me having to say a word. The new bus driving company, SV, brought him to Kansas from Oakland, for two weeks while they hire drivers from Kansas. His three grandkids, wife and daughters live in Oakland. McDougale talks to his wife twice a day, never saying "goodbye" when the call ends, he doesn't like goodbyes. Instead they say "see you later." The bus goes down Sunnyside Avenue, taking a right on Illinois Street, down $18^{\mathrm{th}}$ Street, taking a right on Indiana to go up to campus. The sun is setting and the bus looks dark and lonely with me as the only passenger. Those times he wishes he could park and watch TV. But he can't. In stead he remembers stories that riders have told him in the past. job is when he doesn't have anybody to talk to. Today, for example, a guy told him the problems that he had last year as a University student. "Just to see the smile he had on his face when he was telling me that made me feel good." McDougale says, smiling and turning to w a r d me. "It's the good stories that you hear that could get you through a boring day." McDougale explains win great detail that KU has hired a new company to run the buses, tells his passengers where he is going some information about the night bus, and hands them bus schedules. le, a guy told hat he had niversity says he talks so much because in his 52 years he has learned that "just because somebody is not a professor, it doesn't mean you can't learn something from them." describes a s McDougale says that a lot of students see him as inferior because he is a bus driver and not somebody getting a degree. He says most students who ride the bus rarely acknowledge the driver. People come in, sit and listening to their lplods without once making any kind of contact with the driver. Three times in his two weeks in Lawrence, students have treated him with what he what I le He s me tha weird to what m His the job const ar that could get you through a boring day." He has the philosophy that "the greatest book is another human being." So he talks to anyone who will listen until their stop comes. Back at the recreation center bus stop, two guys get on the bus and complain about the new bus routes that they have not learned yet. What I love to do; drive a bus." He stops himself and tells me that he realizes that sounds weird to some people but that is what makes him happy. His favorite part about the job is not having anyone constantly supervising him and still getting paid the same regardless of the number of passengers. "I'm the captain of this ship." It is close to 9 p.m. and there is little light coming into the bus, because the lights on the bus are broken. I have heard nine people ask theis-this-bus-going-to-question without once hearing a yes, I have seen the same buildings over and over and campus with fewer and fewer people. I get off the bus in front of Bailey Hall and the bus is empty. I wonder if Keith will be bored. Joshua Edwards, Lawrence sophomore, says he has seen students yell at bus drivers because they are late. "The conflict is not initiated by the bus driver." Edwards says "They are just providing a service." "arrogance." Keith says he understands because he used to do immature things when he was young. He went to Delaware State from 1974 to 1975, attempting to get his degree in business, but quit college to start a business on his own as the owner of his numerous hot dog stands in California. After that, he worked for the railroad for some years until his wife suggested he worked as a bus driver. "After all these years doing different things, I finally found what I love to do; drive a bus." it when there are no passengers on the bus.

"I feel like they think I'm trying to steal or something," says Reiz, Wichita graduate student and former president of Environs, a KU environmental activism group."I usually try to frequent certain businesses so workers start recognizing me." Our culture has not yet universally embraced the use of cloth sacks, and for that reason, Reiz and other canvas carriers stand out as abnormal Americans. As a whole, we prefer to stick with our plastic bags, much to Mother Nature's dismay. Introduced to supermarkets in 1977 and seen initially as technological genius in the simplest of forms, these handy little plastic bags are now viewed as one of the many culprits contributing to global warming. Americans are by far the biggest consumers of plastic bags, likely because as a country, we have no fee or encouragement for shoppers to scale back on plastic bag usage. Nearly one billion plastic sacks are used each year in the United States, according to www.nationalgeographic.com. One percent of those are recycled.The rest of the non-biodegradable suckers head to landfills.It's estimated that it takes up to 1,000 years for plastic bags to degrade.And what natural resource is used to produce these billions of bags? Petroleum. But all is not lost here in Lawrence. The city may not be quite ready to ban plastic bags outurling—like San Francisco did in March of this year—but alternatives are still available. Canvas sacks are popping up all over the city, and can now be spotted at The Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St., (The Merc), Borders, 701 New Hampshire St., and Hy-Vee, 4000 W. 6th St, among other locations. Jeanie Wells, general manager of The Merc, says sales of their cloth bags, which are designed by local artists each year, have increased in the past year. "Usually, we only order the bags once a year, but as of late, we're placing more and more orders," Wells says. Wells says The Merc actually did not offer plastic bags until 2001 after elderly customers said plastic bags were easier for them to carry. Not wanting to deny their devoted shoppers, The Merc obliged, How the United States Stacks Up Here's a look at some plastic bag regulations around the world. Wells says. To encourage patrons to recycle, The Merc has since paid five cents for each returned plastic bag. A small collection bin is located at the front of the store. Australia: The Australian government decided in 2002 to set a goal of reducing plastic bag waste by 50 percent by 2005, although they fell slightly short. Rates were down 41 percent by the end of 2005. The recycling rate remains low in Australia at 3 percent. France: Most supermarkets in France charge a small fee for each plastic bag. A nationwide ban of plastic bags is scheduled to begin on Jan.1,2010. Ireland: The Irish government issued a 15- euro cent tax on all plastic bags in 2002. The cost was upped in July 2007 to 22 cents. The country has reduced its plastic bag use by 90 percent in five years. "We're trying for the positive reinforcement," Wells says. "I know in many countries in Europe, they charge money for each plastic bag, but I would feel weird doing that to my customers." Taiwan:The entire island of Taiwan banned plastic bags, along with plastic silverware and plates in restaurants in 2003, with the goal of reducing plastic waste by 30 percent. Source: www.cleanup.com Vee on 6th Street, Customers who spend more than $50 receive a free canvas bag with their purchase during promotion periods. The next in-store promotion is scheduled for the first weekend in September. "We're making an effort to conserve. We're aware of the environmental hazards, the landfills, but it's also a cost benefit for us, if fewer plastic bags are used." Wiltong says. for even the smallest purchases," Wells says. "I think if people started paying attention, they'd realize that sometimes they don't even need plastic bags at all." Target also has an instore bin for bags, and the Wal-Mart Recycle Center accepts plastic bags. And maybe, the day when Reiz and her little canvas bag will be accepted—maybe even appreciated—is not so far off after all. Mother Earth will be smiling. As global climate change becomes increasingly recognized as an imminent threat, Wells says she expects attitudes to change and she often sees KU students using their backpacks instead of opting for a plastic sack. "It's just such a habit here in this culture to have plastic bags 4 turned plastic sacks at the front if the store—although it does not currently offer a monetary reward.

Two people stand on each side of the table and 10 others stand around watching. "I've got next game!" you yell. Gently lobbed across the table by one team, the ping pong ball does a swirley around the top of the cup and lands hard in a pool of beer. "Yes! Drink up suckers!" hollers the thrower. One cup is taken away and downed by the opposing team Whether it's pre-gaming before hitting the bars, competing in a tournament or tailgating before a football game, beer pong is everywhere. Created at Dartmouth College in the 1950s, beer pong was used as a means for students to entertain themselves "There wasn't much to do there except get drunk and break things," says Chris Robinson, doctoral student and 1986 graduate of Dartmouth College. "Back in the day, students had to be creative to amuse themselves." Dartmouth College students took the game of ping pong and added one cup of beer at each end of the table. Using ping pong paddles, the objective was to get the ball in the beer. The game changed in the 1980s when Lehigh University students took the game of beer pong and tweaked it to create Beirut. Following the same rules and objectives of today's beer pong, Beirut removed the paddles and added more cups on each side of the table. PHOTO BY LISA LIPOVAC To put it plainly, the beer pong that students play today is actually Beirut. Traditional beer pong is played with paddles. Just as students host beer pong tournaments today, Dartmouth College students made beer pong an organized sport in the 1970s, and it became an intramural sport organized by the athletics department. At the time the campus was not dry and the drinking age was 18. Even though Kansas doesn't have an intramural sport of beer pong—maybe it should—students take matters into their own hands to create the same competition and sportsmanship. Austin Berk, Stilwell senior, says he enjoys the rivalry. "A lot of people are competitive and this way they can drink and have a competitive game at the same time," Berk says. Students go to extensive lengths to play beer pong.They take old doors and flip them to create tables and downsize tables to fit into small areas such as dorm rooms. The heat weighed down on Berk as he played beer pong this summer. Getting creative, he, along with friends Bryce Katz, Overland Park senior, and Nick Lockrow, Overland Park senior, created a beer pong table for the swimming pool. The trio found a foam board at Whealan's Contractor's Supply, 1516 W. 6th Street, and cut it to a 5 by 3 foot plank. By affixing pool noodles on the longer sides of the foam board, they were able to create a floating beer pong table—mini-size me. The table lasted for approximately 10 games before apartment management enforced the no-alcohol rule. "It's just really funny how it turned out," Lockrow said. "We had a pretty sweet floating beer pong table for awhile there." Despite students' love for the game, parents and teachers worry about students' safety when consuming excessive amounts of alcohol. Christian Crandall, professor of social psychology,says he worries about students drinking excessively. CHAMPIONS GARDEN CITY COMMUNITY COLLEGE ALLEN FILL HOSE CLUB 19. 00.20.00 83-74-65 "Universities are very interested in suppressing binge drinking," Crandall says. "They have an interest in their students and in themselves. Universities don't want to be a place where students get sick and die." PHOTO BY LISA LIPOVAC Crandall says students enjoy drinking games because they break down barriers and give them confidence in situations that may make them feel shy or awkward. "We like them because they are fun, and because they allow us to drink more, and some people are seeking that," Crandall says. Agreed—some students like the idea of getting drunk fast. However, other students just want to play. When Colin Pate, Lawrence junior, attended Benedictine College, life was boring and beer pong was played frequently. They played so often that if they didn't have beer they would use water.Practice makes perfect. Whether you are playing to get drunk or just practicing the craft, pick up that ping pong ball and tenderly toss it through the air. If you're successful at the game you won't have to drink at all, and your opponents will be chugging away. Happy ponging. 10 Tips to Succeed at Beer Pong 1. "Use the bounce shot." Nathan Hardman, Lawrence sophomore 2. "Aim for the rings on the inside of the cup." Tom Herring, Kansas City, mo. freshman 3. "Drink beforehand and you'll have better aim." Kelsey Smith, Lenexa junior 4. "Don have a girl as your teammate." Brett Schulte, Lawrence junior 5. "It's all about the arch. You have to visualize the bottom of the cup."

Kidane Mehret Ethiopian Orthodox Church celebrated one of its largest celebrations of the year on Sunday, Aug. 26. Hiwot Hailemariam, 2007 graduate, was one in attendance. Hailemariam was born and raised in Ethiopia. She moved to the U.S. with her family more than a decade ago. But she has worked hard to hold on to her cultural traditions. And for her the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is a centerpiece. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church is the only pre-colonial Christian church in Sub-Saharan Africa. It became the official religion of the Axumite kingdom of northern Ethiopia in the 4th century CE. The celebration at Kidane Mehret was for the Virgin Mary, the saint for whom the church is named. --- ch Cb Above: Church officials bring the symbol of the church, known as “talbet,” out to the front.

Admission is free. Seongbae Cheon WHAT it's LIKE TO BE A HOUSEMOM MΩM What do you call a college woman who's single, doesn't keep a permanent home and gets paid to live with dudes? Mom. Or at least housemother, the job title of Marilyn McElhayn, the new female-in-residence at the Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji) fraternity house. "it's much more fun than raising your own kids," McElhany says. "All the fun, none of the legal responsibility." McElhany moved in with the 66-or-so brothers three weeks ago after a four-year hiatus from Greek life. Before then she lived at the Alpha Tau Omega house, currently the Pi Kappa Phi residence, for 12 years. "The ATO house was well-known as one of the great party houses of all time," she says. But McElhany, a birth-mother of four and grandmother of six, says the animal-house stereotype that fraternities have just isn't true. On any given night, McElhany says you'll see freshman Fijis completing their four hours of mandatory study time, not running around all drunk and naked. The Fiji's Web site says that last spring the house earned a cumulative 3.0 grade point average, and McElhany says that the house is pretty quiet most of the time.She's simply there to organize the occasional chaos of multi-male living and make sure her fraternal stepchildren are content. "As long as they're happy, I'm happy. But there ain't a boy in the world that won't tell you 'if mommy ain't happy, nobody's happy,'" she says. McElhany says that being a housemother is more a lifestyle than a job. Her sleep schedule is often more like a student's than an adult's and she lives with relatives, takes vacations or goes to her summer home in Colorado when the house closes for academic breaks. But she freely admits that being a housemother is especially suited for the strange. "It's a wonderful way of life, it's just a little odd," she says. "It's bizarre, I mean, who would want to live with a bunch of men?"

However, according to the World Health Organization, a one-hour hookah session has 100 to 200 times the smoke volume than a single cigarette.During one sitting at a hookah bar, people inhale far more smoke, thus inhaling more nicotine and other carcinogenic compounds.

Make that plastic bear in your cupboard your main squeeze for an all-natural, healthier substitute to sugar."Honey gives you vitamins and minerals, where with white sugar you get nothing but calories," says Gina Fisch, owner of Perfect Balance Weight Management in Lawrence. To get similar sweetness in recipes, use one-half to one-third the amount of honey as the amount of sugar called for, "depending on your sweet tooth," Fisch says. Just one tablespoon of honey will give you doses of calcium, iron, potassium and other helpful nutrients, so make a beeline to this golden goodness next time you're whipping up something sweet. ■Megan Hirt DUTCH GOLD PURE HONEY Clear Melissa NET WT. 12 OZ (340 g) FRENCH GOBIER PURE HONEY Clear Blissment A CLEAR HONEY BEETLE NET WT 12 OZ (340g) Tremendous 12 Breakfast 3 Eggs Bacon or Sausage Hashed Browns 4 Pancakes Coffee or Soda COLLEGE LATE-NIGHT SPECIAL 10 PM - 6 AM Tremendous 12 Breakfast 3 Eggs Bacon or Sausage Hashed Browns 4 Pancakes Coffee or Soda $4.99 W/ KUID exp. 9/20/07 1711 W 23rd St | 842-9040 Perkins RESTAURANT & BAKERY ...Because breakfast tastes so much better after last call 499 W/KUID Perkins RESTAURANT & BAKERY show moved to THE GRANADA THEATER all LIBERTY HALL tickets honored Special 2 for 1 deal Sept. 4 - Sept. 9 Thursday Sept. 13 DEVENDRA BANHART WITH Rio En Medio NEW PORNOGRAPHERS LIBERTY HALL Sunday Nov. 4 with AC Newman, Blaine Thurier, Dan Bejar, John Collins, Kathryn Calder, Kurt Dahle, NEKO CASE, and Todd Fancey with EMMA POLLOCK and IMMACULATE MACHINE show moved to THE GRANADA THEATER all LIBERTY HALL tickets honored Special 2 for 1 deal Sept. 4 - Sept. 9 Thursday Sept. 13 DEVENDRA BANHART WITH Rio En Medio THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS LIBERTY HALL Sunday Nov. 4 with AC Newman, Blaine Thurier, Dan Bejar, John Collins, Kathryn Calder, Kurt Dahle, NEKO CASE, and Todd Fancey with EMMA POLLOCK and IMMACULATE MACHINE The Granada Tue. 9/11 all ages 7 pm AGAINST ME!

It's called rosacea. Rosacea is a chronic condition of the skin characterized by redness of the face, dilated blood vessels, bumps and pimples. An estimated 14 million Americans have been diagnosed with the disease according to the National Rosacea Society, and the number seems to be growing. Dermatologists are still speculating whether this is because the condition is becoming more common, or because people are becoming more aware of it due to advertisements and news articles. No specific cause for rosacea has been found yet, but Dr. John Wolf, Chairman of the Department of Dermatology at Baylor University in Houston, says many theories have been formulated. Some medical professionals have suggested that the disease is caused by infectious organisms. Others say that blood vessels that dilate quickly and cause leakage of fluid into the skin are to blame. While none of these have been proven, scientist may be closer than ever to finding the cause. "They're now saying that there's a specific protein in the skin causing rosacea, which was published in Nature Medicine magazine within the last few weeks," says Wolf. "But, it's so newly suggested that it hasn't had a chance to be accepted yet." While there may be no known cause, there are many elements that make rosacea worse, known as trigger factors. The three most common ones according to the National Rosacea Society are sunlight, heat and stress. Other trigger factors include alcohol, spicy foods and exercise. "After they come home from the gym and take a shower, some people can still be flushed and red an hour later," says Dr. Robert Brown, health physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center. So how do those affected by rosacea stop the r*dress? So far, three different treatments have been discovered. There are topical creams, including metronidazole and azelaic acid. Another option is an oral treatment called tetracycline. Laser treatments are BY JARED DUNCAN also effective for vascular forms of rosacea. Unfortunately, those with rosacea grow tired of the treatments very easily. "Our motto is, 'control rather than cure,' says Wolf. "But it's challenging to get patients to comply with life-long therapy." Different treatments are designed for the four known types of rosacea. Papulopustular rosacea is characterized by redness of skin and acne-like bumps.Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea contains symptoms such as flushing of the skins and broken capillaries, resulting in blood vessels that are visible just below the skin's surface. Ocular rosacea includes redness and irritation of the eyes, and in severe cases can even lead to vision loss. The final form is Phymatous rosacea, which can be characterized by overgrowth of oil glands and tissue in the skin which can make the nose grow to large proportions. So, if rosacea doesn't pose much of a health threat, what's the problem? It seems to be the same as acne. "Rosacea has a profound psychological impact on lives," says Wolf. "It can be extremely embarrassing." The National Rosacea Society has done studies showing the strain rosacea can put on personal relationships and academic and professional performance. The condition is most prevalent in ages 30 to 50 according to the NRS, but it can occur earlier. "I see a fairly large number of college students who have it," says Brown. One student with the condition is Brittany Winston, a senior at Westmister College in Salt Lake City. "Ive had it since elementary school, but I went to a dermatologist for something else in sixth grade and was finally diagnosed," says Winston. While Winston's case is not severe,she says her face gets small bumps and is irritated easily by very warm or very cold weather. Instead of seeking treatment, she applies a moisturizer every day, which she helps keep the redness down. Winston also encourages others to seek treatment and says that rosacea is nothing to be ashamed of. 1 09.06.2007 = JAYPLAY notice 13 W WESCOE wit Guy (looking at map of Mexico): That looks like a high heel.

Your name here WAR Action movies make you think that the world is constantly under construction. That was the most notable thing I observed watching War, an inept bust-em up starring Jason Statham and Jet Li. FBI agent John Crawford (Statham) loses his partner to the mysterious and seemingly indestructible Rogue (Li), a ruthless Yakuza hitman. Three years later Crawford is still looking for Rogue and his devotion to revenge causes his marriage to fail. Rogue resurfaces, having crossed lines with the Yakuza, working for the rival Triads. He plays both sides of the crime war between the gangs, while toying with Crawford. That's about it. There's some plot involving gold horse statuettes and police corruption but this film is mainly another excuse for assorted items to blow up, cars to crash, and people to show off their martial arts. As far as action movies go, War is mediocre at best and mostly irritating with its unnecessary cuts, horrible dialogue and preposterous situations. As for action War actually has very little. If you are swayed by dull men with guns, swordplay and some martial arts-ass-kicking then War might be for you, otherwise save your money. ★ Chance Dibben Get Your Greek or Club Shirts Printed Here!

JOEP OUCH OOPS cat coq07 In my naive, 15-year-old way of reasoning, a big truck seemed easy to drive. I realized the power behind it, but still drove it with the carelessness of a go-kart. Little did I know that an event was about to take place that would change my driving habits completely. I was entering my sophomore year of high school, and thanks to the previous summer's driver's education course, had my driver's permit. The vehicle was my father's 1995 Ford F-150 pickup. It was by no means a monster truck, but compared to the other cars in the school's parking lot, it was a behemoth. By the third day of school, I drove in feeling invincible. This is probably why I didn't use much caution when parking. And this is probably why I hit the car that I was trying to park next to. When it happened, there was no sound, only the feeling of a crunch. It was light enough to make me think that maybe I just brushed against the other car, but heavy enough to make my heart skip a beat. I sat in the truck for a minute, took one of the longest breaths of my life and tried to figure out what to do next. I couldn't recall this subject ever being covered in driver's ed. I got out of the truck, looked at the other vehicle—a small white Jeep Cherokee—and assessed the damage. The once smooth surface of the front and rear driver's side doors were marked up and uneven. Maybe I was scared, or maybe I wasn't smart enough to even attend high school, because I walked straight to class thinking that no one, especially the owner, would notice the huge black dent left by my truck's front bumper. I made it through the school day without incident and didn't tell a soul about the accident. I walked back to my truck in the DANIEL KINGMAN afternoon and saw that the Jeep was still there. I guess I was too busy staring at the indention to notice the security cameras that watched over the parking lot. When I got home, acted as if was just another day at school, but the incident was the only on my by Jared Duncan mind, and my final thought before falling asleep that night. The following day, I made sure to park as far away from any other car as I could. Everything was going normally. Then, my fifth period biology class was interrupted by a note that sent me to the principal's office. Walking down the hall, I had no clue what this meeting could be about. But the moment I walked in and saw a police officer waiting, I knew. Being face-to-face with two authority figures who both knew I was guilty of a criminal act had me frozen. So much so that sitting down to talk with them was almost a workout. And the cold sweat didn't help much, either. Possibly sensing my fear, both the officer and assistant principal wore sympathetic stares on their faces. Or maybe they just realized the humor of the situation. After all, they weren't the ones who hit a car. They informed me that the owner had indeed noticed the damage and that the whole thing was captured on camera. As if it weren't enough, the officer notified me, as he was writing up my citation, that the vehicle that I had hit belonged to the daughter of the city police captain. There was a fine and, of course, the cost of repairs to the Jeep. But the worst part was the guilt I felt months after the event was over. Not to mention that the officer relied on me to tell my parents about the whole affair. The look on their faces was a mixture of disgust, disappointment, rage and a grab bag of other emotions that I either can't describe or have blocked from my memory. It was a blessing and curse. I felt horrible, but I turned it around and used it to teach myself a lesson in honesty. Since then, I haven't gotten into any major scrapes, vehicular or otherwise. And while I'm hoping nothing like this ever happens again, I know that it will. I feel more prepared this time, however, because it will be a chance to prove to myself that I've taken a lesson from this experience: own up to your mistakes, be honest and always look out for cameras.

"I felt that I could pitch well enough to cover those bad breaks." Matsuzaka said through a translator. "I felt that my stuff was better compared to my last start." In that one, he gave up five runs in 61-3 innings and lost to the New York Yankees 5-3. He lost the game when he allowed Johnny Damon's tie-breaking two-run homer in the seventh inning. Boston manager Terry Francona said Matsuzaka pitched well Monday. big boost for Matsuzaka's first year in the mairs, didn't sound worried. Other than an Aug. 15 outing against Tampa Bay in which he allowed six runs in six innings, Matsuzaka "has thrown the ball well," recently, Varitek said. "He's throwing the ball better than his results. So quality starts are all we're looking for and Dice has done that over and over for us." Big innings have hurt Matsuzaka all year. He's given up four or more runs in an inning seven times, accounting for 32 of the 83 runs he's allowed all season. So Monday's outing wasn't unusual — five strong innings followed by a bad one.

FULL STORY PAGE 3A SPOTLIGHT OFFICERS TARGET TAILGATERS A rough path from Uganda to Kansas Chris Okello said life was tough growing up in Kitgum, Uganda. He said he had seen and experienced things you couldn't even imagine, and it had been difficult to adjust to some of the misconceptions Americans have about people from Africa. "When you come from Africa people think you probably don't know anything," said Okello, Hutchison junior. "It gets into a situation where you just don't understand why someone would think that because you come from Africa they think you haven't been exposed to a whole lot. It's kind of frustrating. I'm not here to prove a point that I can do better than somebody — I just want to make it a little bit easier for me."

RESEARCH Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN K KU Public Safety Office officers Alissa Counley and Jeff Neavitt patrol Campanile hill before Saturday's game against Central Michigan University. Police are increasing their patrols on game days in an effort to curb underage drinking. FULL STORY PAGE 3A Game-day patrols increase BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Willy Panning won't stop drinking at tailgates despite added enforcement from Lawrence police on game days. He feels safe as long as he stays in the front yard. "I'm usually in the heart of the party or at least try to be," said Panning, Minneapolis junior. "I figure they have some dumb freshman to pick on anyway." Students such as Panning face greater risk at tailgates because the Lawrence Police Department plans to step up enforcement near Memorial Stadium on game days in an effort to reduce underage drinking. The police also want to stop public consumption and people playing host to parties for minors where alcohol is served. The extra enforcement plan is contingent on getting enough officers and volunteers to help the Lawrence police. Last Saturday, Sergeant Paul Fellers said, there weren't enough volunteers for the enforcement. Sergeant Dan Ward said the high attendance at the football games made enforcement difficult and expensive. He didn't say whether the police would increase enforcement tomorrow but said they would team up with the Regional Prevention Center of East Central Kansas and Alcoholic Beverage Control Agents to get more manpower. Ward said police were targeting underage drinkers to prevent problems. Lawrence police said in a statement that according said that as of July anyone younger than 21 who plays host to a party is responsible for any minor in possession of alcohol on to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 5,000 people younger than 21 die each year from alcohol-related incidents. That includes car accidents, homicides, suicides and other injuries. Another part of the enforcement plan is educating people about a new law for hosting parties with underage drinkers. Ward "I'm usually in the heart of the party or at least try to be. I figure they have some dumb freshman to pick on anyway." WILLY PANNING Minneapolis Junior his or her property. Before July, that law applied only to minors under 18. If a minor is ticketed with alcohol possession, the host is subject to arrest and a minimum $1,000 fine. Police also want to prevent people from consuming alcohol in public. City laws state no one may possess or drink alcohol on sidewalks or in city parking lots, streets or alleys. According to the KU athletics Web site, the University allows for tailgating in several campus lots including 10 lots near Memorial Stadium. People 21 or older can drink on private property. Like Panning, other tailgaters said they weren't too worried about extra enforcement. punishments Minor in Possession — Minors caught in possession of an alcoholic beverage face a fine ranging from $300 to $500. A judge also could sentence a minor to no more than 30 days in jail. Hosting Minors — If someone receives an M.I.P. on another person's property, the owner could be punished for playing host to a minor if he or she is younger than 21. Punishment is a minimum $1,000 fine. Public Consumption — No one, no matter the age, can consume alcohol on streets, city parking lots, sidewalks, alleys, roads or highways. Fines for this offense range from $50 to $200. Lawrence city codes Panning said he would continue attending tailgates for the entire season. "It's not going to affect me," Panning said. "I'm one of 30,000 — I figure my odds are pretty good." — Edited by Amelia Freidline THE DOME HOUSES Drop City, a hippie commune founded by former KU students Gene and JoAnn Bernofsky in 1965, is located near Trinidad, Colo. It was one of the era's first communes. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO 》 SPOTLIGHT Commune founders inspired during time spent in Lawrence Few Lawrence residents or KU students may realize that one of the events that marked the beginning of the counterculture movement in the 1960s had its beginnings at the University of Kansas. One of the first communes of the era, Drop City, was founded by former University students Gene and JoAn Bernofsky. Timothy Miller, professor of religious studies, has written several books on the subject and said Drop City was a foundational event in that era. The Bernofskys live in Montana today. Gene is an independent filmmaker and JoAnn is an artist. The couple said Lawrence influenced the ideas that formed Drop City. index Classifieds...5B Crossword...6A Horoscopes...6A Opinion...7A Sports...1B Sudoku...6A All contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2007 The University Daily Kansan weather 90 60 Isolated T-Storms weather.com SATURDAY 88 64 Mostly sunny SUNDAY 90 63 Partly cloudy FULL STORY PAGE 5A CARDINALS AVOID LETDOWN 5 Louisville survives a scare in an offensive duel with the Middle Tennessee Raiders SEE NCAA ON PAGE 7B LOUISVILLE 46 42 10 ASSOCIATED PRESS 2A NEWS --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2007 quote of the day "There's a new medical crisis Doctors are reporting that many men are having allergic reactions to latex condoms.

ODD NEWS ODD NEWS Woman registers dog to vote may have charge removed SEATTLE — A woman who faced up to 90 days in jail for registering her dog to vote has agreed to a deal that could remove the charge from her record. Jane Balogh, 66, won't be prosecuted on the charge of making a false or misleading statement to a public servant if she does 10 hours of community service, pays a $250 fine and avoids violating the law for the next year, District Judge Marianne Spearman said Wednesday. Balogh registered her Australian shepherd-terrier mix, Duncan M.

College students tell police they are selling marijuana BOSTON — A pair of former Northeastern University freshmen are facing charges after prosecutors said one leaked out his dorm window Sunday and loudly told a woman in the dorm opposite his that he and his roommate were selling pot. "If you're looking for weed, my roommate Ferrante has some for sale," Michael Emery said out the window, according to the Suffolk district attorney's office. Oops. Two police officers happened to be nearby. Two plainclothes Boston officers in the building overheard the conversation and went to a second-floor room where they arrested Emery, 18, and Matthew Ferrante, 18, after finding about four ounces of marijuana; drug paraphernalia, including a scale; and several bottles of alcohol, prosecutors said. Attorneys for the men did not immediately return calls for comment. The students were arraigned Tuesday on charges including possession of a class D substance with intent to distribute in a school zone, a count that carries a maximum of two years in jail. They are no longer students at Northeastern, university spokeswoman Laura Shea said. They pleaded not guilty,were released on personal recognizance and are due back in court next month. in hopes of keeping its employees from spitting in the halls and stairways at work.

After "speed dating" each other, participants said who is that we live in a very media-focused society," Rose-Mockry said. "I think it's important when information like this is generated for women to challenge these images. Awareness is key." Rose-Mockry said one way the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center raised awareness about body image issues was through "From the Inside Out," a peer education group that speaks to campus groups and residence halls about body image, gender stereotypes and eating disorders. "We go in there to try to start a dialogue," said Nicole Tichon, president of "From the Inside Out." "It's stuff that people are affected by but no one pays attention to." "From the Inside Out" will speak to campus organizations by request. It also addresses campuswide events, such as "Love Your Body Day," which is Oct. 18. Tichenor said that the media affected how men view women. "The way men are told to think about women influences the way they think," Tichenor said. "A lot of times advertising and the media send messages that you're only valued for how you look." Rose-Mockry said that the largest body image issue facing University women was the myth of perfection. "Women see advertisements that show unattainable images of perfection," Rose-Mocky said. Rose-Mockry said that the women's resource center was available for all genders. The center plays host to events, gives instruction about gender issues, and seeks to help women succeed on campus and find equity for women and men. - Edited by Kyle Carter Interest climbs in outdoor sports Film festival comes to Lawrence to promote mountaineering 》 EXTREME SPORTS Dan Hughes, the owner of Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop at 804 Massachusetts St., said the festival had been taken place since 1976, but he first came across the festival six years ago when he previewed some of the films being shown.

Van Buren's show featuring paintings of furries opens this weekend at The Cross Gallery in Kansas City, Mo. 'Furry fandom'tickles artist's fancy SPOTLIGHT BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com An artist can get his inspiration from almost anything. Just ask Jay Van Buren, a 1994 KU graduate living in Brooklyn, N.Y. Van Buren is having "Fursuit Portrait Paint-off" from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday at The Cross Gallery, 2012 Baltimore Ave, in Kansas City, Mo. Van Buren's show will feature his paintings of people who dress in human-sized animal costumes called "furries." What got you into art and developed your style? It was a weird process. It started with abstract geometric paintings, which is very complicated. I started to put things on a table and paint them — specifically stuffed animals — like a teddy bear. Then I literally began painting huge-sized furries. What was your experience at KU like? I studied painting and I got a fantastic education. I had really strong painters for professors who really taught me well. It was really a good place to be as a painter. You have been living in Brooklyn, so why have a show in Kansas City? "The gallery where my event is at actually had done a show with me 10 years ago. They looked at my work again, and the show came together. I thought it was a great chance to come back because I grew up in Topeka, attended KU and I lived in Lawrence. I have family and close friends here. What inspires you to paint furries? impresses you to paint furries. When people look at a stuffed animal — they believe it has some type of personality, or it's dead. People will say my work is creepy or cute. I always paint from reality, and it's a serious commitment because I'm not just painting a person in an animal costume. I am trying to get the persona of the person in that suit and the suit itself at the same time. What do you hope students will gain by attending your show? I want people to have a good time. I think my paintings have a special appeal that even non-paint fans can get into and enjoy. A lot will be going on — we'll have an emcee hosting the show, a sculpture maker. This event is really about two subcultures coming together, one being the art world and the second being furry fandom. Furry fandom is a subculture of fans who enjoy the idea of dressing in furries and creating this other personality.

Okello said his friend got away when the rebels ran into the government troops. He was shot in the leg and laid there until the rebels left. The government troops arrested him, but he was only 12 years old, so they took him to a hospital until he healed from the wound and then sent him home. Okello said his friend was not the same person Okello said going away for school in Uganda made it easier for him to come to the United States. He said he stayed at school nine months of the year, so he didn't see his family very often. When he was at home, he spent most of his free time outside playing soccer with his friends. Okello said the time away from his family made him feel distant. "They have no mercy. They tell them to shoot, and they shoot. Tell them to kill, and they kill," Okello said. after he returned. When Okello was 16 he moved to Hutchinson to stay with his aunt and uncle. He said it was a difficult adjustment, but he was glad he staved. Okello's roommate, Brendan Reilly, said Okello got very somber and quiet when talked about his past but didn't dwell on it. "He's seen a lot more than probably everyone on campus combined," Reilly, an Overland Park junior, said. "But I know he wakes up every day and he couldn't be happier that he's in America and in the situation that he is" Okello's supervisor at a restoration company, Jeff Moore, said Okello came to work in the morning smiling. Moore also said Okello frequently volunteered to work emergency shifts. "Right now I pay for my own tuition, and I pay my brother's tuition back home," Okello said. "If I was in Uganda I probably wouldn't have done that. I call it a blessing because right now I can wake up in the morning knowing exactly what my options are, what I have to do, what needs I have to satisfy or not."

Bonebrake and Ball created "Zero-Impact Urban Mobility" design for the Interior Motives Design Awards competition. Pods one idea for future of transit BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com Natalia Bonebrake has plans for the future. In 20 to 30 years she envisions a problem of overpopulated cities and a need for more efficient and environmental-friendly transportation. Her solution to those problems? The "Zero-Pod." Bonebrake, Topeka senior and industrial design major, and design partner Shane Ball, Lawrence resident, created a futuristic design called "Zero-Impact Urban Mobility." The design recommended a transport system with one-man cars — or pods — running from station to station. The pods would connect to a rail system and users would travel about the city similar to how a train or subway system did but with no localized emissions. "I thought it was a very cool plan," she said. The design was one of 50 that competed in the fifth-annual Interior Motives Design Awards, which focuses on interior automotive design. For the project, Bonebrake did the modeling and Ball performed the designing, researching and Photoshop work. "We worked together on everything from the start," said Ball, who is currently working for MHT Luxury Alloys, a wheel and accessory company. He said at first the project was a little out of his liking. "My interests are in custom cars and motorcycles," Ball said. Although their design didn't get chosen for the final round of the competition, the two received free tickets to the awards show, which takes place Wednesday in Frankfurt, Germany. But Bonebrake and Ball are unable to attend the awards show. Bonebrake said that although their design was cutting-edge, the concept could eventually become a reality. "I am more than satisfied with our successes in this competition," Ball said. "I was clearly out of my element in this as the concept is intended to be idealistic, bucking reality and convention." "I feel that it is quite possible," she said. "Maybe not for today's world, but a cool concept to work towards." Bonebrake and Ball worked on their project as part of Lance Rake's "Problems in Industrial Design" class last spring. "Between the two of us, we had the skill-sets needed to complete the project," Bonebrake said. And Bonebrake offered advice for those like her and Ball, who have talent, innovation and foresight to believe their designs could someday go from concept to creation. "Take one day at a time," she said. "And persistence pays off. When I start a project I like to think, 'How would you add value?' And I go from there." SPOTLIGHT — Edited by Kyle Carter JCT MT 200 21 PARADISE 24 35 Gene Bernofsky is an independent filmmaker who makes environmental activism films while riding his bike across the United States. This is a photo from his most recent project, "The Bikino Viking." CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Former hippies still have spirit BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com The Bernofskys moved to Lawrence from Brooklyn, N.Y. Gene said he instantly fell in love with the town when he walked down Massachusetts Street and a complete stranger smiled and said "good morning." At the height of the counterculture in the 1960s, Lawrence was an ideal place to practice alternative lifestyles and ideas. Gene and JoAnn Bernofsky, former University of Kansas students, established one of the eras' fundamental hippie communes. Dron City during that time However, Gene said he didn't enjoy his time at the University. He said he never found a professor that tried to work with him in classes, and he felt the whole college lifestyle was meaningless. "It was huge and institutionalized," Gene said. "It was just a glorified version of high school for me." Gene wanted to spend less time in giant lectures, and more time on his art and films. He found similar ideas in art student Clark Richert. The two began hanging out and working on projects at Richert's Massachusetts Street apartment. Gene said time spent on Massachusetts Street introduced the idea for Drop City, Richert and Bernofsky talked about a unique art form that would "drop in" on people's lives rather than sit in a gallery. The friends concocted a complete breakfast setting of real food, napkin and silverware, and had it "drop in" on the street in front of The Eldridge hotel. "It was a ridiculous idea," Gene said. "But we wanted to see people's reactions." Gene said most people thought it was amusing and chuckled as they stepped around it. As the Vietnam War escalated, Gene and JoAnn became disheartened with society. Gene said he and JoAnn didn't want to be trapped in the war. The Bernofskys decided to start their own civilization and headed to Colorado to meet Richert, who had finished graduate school at the University of Colorado. In 1965, the friends bought about five acres outside Trinidad, Colo., for $650. Richert and Bernofsky remembered their humorous art in Lawrence and deemed the commune Drop City. "We were full of youthful enthusiasm and our insane idea was to be completely removed from the awful chaos that was going on," Gene said. Timothy Miller, professor of religious studies, has written several books on 1960s "hippie" communes. Miller said the basis of Drop City was for inhabitants to live off the land and pursue their art. Part of that art was domes constructed out of car tops. Miller said the Bernofskys were ahead of the curve, and Drop City was a foundational event for the era. JoAnn Bernosfsky said Drop City's first years were happy ones and residents worked on their own creative enadeavors. However, the Bernofskys said after two years the intent of Drop City was lost. Gene said unwanted media attention changed the direction of the commune. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC iDunham printed to 2008/2007 12 Great Films Spread Over Two Evenings!

"In 1967 we left with a broken heart and believed our experiment had been a failure." Today, Gene and JoAnn live in Missoula, Mont. Gene, an independent filmmaker, often works on nonprofit environmental activism films. His recent endeavor, "The Biking Viking," is an environmental film from his biking adventures. JoAnn enjoys taking art classes at the local university and observing the students around her. "I was their age when we started Drop City," JoAnn said. "I see them, and I think young people aren't as brave as they were in the sixties." "They lived out their ideals, doing what they wanted to do," Miller said. "Time and age has normalized Gene a bit, but he's never lost his spirit." Miller said he had great admiration for the life the Bernosfols lived. Edited by Amelia Freidline 》 PUBLIC WORKS Making bridges safe again KU engineers work with KDOT to test aging structures BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com A group of students and faculty at the University of Kansas has thousands of pounds of pressure at its command and is using that pressure to help ensure the safety of drivers in Kansas. The team of engineers is working to prolong the lives of steel bridges and is saving taxpayers millions of dollars in the process. The Fatigue and Fracture Research Group uses computer simulations, field work, lab tests and experimental composite materials to study steel bridges' strength and susceptibility toward breakage. One machine in the group's lab is capable of applying thousands of pounds of pressure to steel bridge parts to simulate the repeated passage of large trucks. The American Society of Civil Engineers reports that more than 75,422 bridges throughout the U.S. are structurally deficient. It estimates that more than $180 billion will need to be spent during the next 20 years to fix the bridges. "Structurally deficient" does not mean the bridge is to go fall down tomorrow," said Caroline Bennett, assistant professor of engineering and member of the bridge team. "It only means that Congress needs to put more money into bridge research." The group works with the Kansas Department of Transportation to extend the life of older bridges instead of spending the time and money to construct entirely new ones. The latest example is the Tuttle Creek Bridge on K-16 near Manhattan. KDOT asked the group to look at the 5,350-foot steel bridge and its fatigue cracks. Initial estimates found that the state would have to pay $50 million to replace the bridge, but the research team proposed repairs that were made for $15 million. The bridge has not developed new cracks since, and it is estimated to have 100 more years of life. "The majority of our infrastructure is getting old, and many bridges were only built to last a certain amount of time," Kaan said. Ben Kaan, Wheatridge, Colo. graduate student and member of the group, said many bridges were designed correctly at the time they were built, but now more is known about bridge fatigue, and the bridges need repairs. "Some composites can show fatigue with indicators that pop out and emit a red dye when the bridge is at risk," said Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, associate professor of aerospace engineering. "There is a flow of technology that has a place in civil engineering." Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Much attention has been thrust upon the state of U.S. bridges since the collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis that resulted in 13 deaths. "Whenever there is such a tragedy, people understand the consequences of not paying attention to these issues," said Adolfo Matamoros, associate professor of engineering. "This is a very significant problem and this is never going away." The group also is developing ways to let the bridges signal their own fatigue before it is too late. They are working with aerospace engineers to develop indicators that could be placed within steel bridges. — Edited by Amelia Freidline JOHN RICKMAN Benjamin Kaan, Wheatridge, Colo., graduate student, tests a steel specimen on the hydraulic test frame in Learned Hall. The steel specimens are being tested in a study to retrofit existing bridges to improve fatigue performance." We're trying to figure out ways to keep cracks from forming," Kaan said.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2007 EDITORIAL BOARD PAGE 7A Iraq's posterity dependant on one institution: its government Iraqi government needs to adopt a larger role in its countries'future DRAWING BOARD Tuesday, Sept. 11, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will Committee will hear testimony from General David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker on Iraq's progress in meeting its benchmarks. Congress laid out these progress points in May as part of a $120 billion package to fund the war Early predictions are pessimistic. Iraq has failed to meet 15 of the 18 benchmarks, according to the Government Accountability Office. While it was nearly impossible for Iraq to meet all of these benchmarks, Iraq's government should prove its worth before the U.S. provides any more financial or military assistance. The benchmarks range in complexity and importance. Some of the most-debated ones include reversing legislation that bars ex-Baathists from running for office; passing an oil revenue-sharing law; holding provincial elections to encourage Sunni involvement; and improving infrastructure. The White House has been critical of these benchmarks, claiming that they put stress on Gen. Petraeus and force the ground commander to work under unrealistic parameters. The consequences for Iraq should they fail to meet these benchmarks are vague. Nothing concrete has been passed in the legislature. The consequences could theoretically entail troop withdrawal or withholding funds for the war. Critics suggest that funding for troops should not be tied to the progress or failure of Iraq's government. All the same, there must be some repercussions, or else the entire point of benchmarks becomes mute. The overall consensus in Washington is that the war in Iraq must be won. Yet descriptions of what entails winning are vague. Security, freedom and terrorism are mentioned frequently, but solid caveats are avoided. AND IN THE MATTER OF MINNESOTA V. SENATOR LARRY CRAIG, WE FIND THE DEFENDANT-- HEY, WHERE'S THE SENATOR? UM, HE'S IN THE BATHROOM, YOUR HONOR. OH NO. BAILIFF, PLEASE GO GET THE SENTATOR. ...BAILIFF? In order to avoid a permanent troop presence in Iraq, more pressure must be put on the Iraqi government and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. There is only so much that America can do militarily to ensure Iraq's stability. Politically, the future security of Iraq must come from within. Its own government must take responsibility for the country. In turn, Congress should take steps to reward Iraq when it meets milestones, and sufficiently punish the country when it fails to do so. If the Iraqi government has no incentive to improve, it will not do so. Gen, Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker will have their chance to defend America's Iraq policy. Granted, there have been victories. The troop surge has increased stability in the Anbar province, for instance. However, endless troops and funding will MAX RINKEL matter for nothing if Iraq's government doesn't fulfill its own obligations. SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE Third world country hardly student's worry Asking for rights, students in world's poorest country stand against government, a sentiment lost on Wescoe Beach I don't expect that you've heard about what is happening in Bangladesh. It's a far-away Middle Eastern country that doesn't harbor radical Jihadists, so there is no real reason for the United States media to cover it. But you should know. It's a big deal, especially if you are a college student and have any interest in social justice. I can't blame you for being in the dark. After all, it seems only the BBC is covering it. It doesn't even make the New York Times, much less the University Daily Kansan. No one ever seems to notice a country in utter turmoil halfway across the world, unless the people of that country happen to have white skin and speak Midwestern English. Certainly not the Kansan. God forbid we should question the media gatekeepers who keep us firmly entrenched in our fake American dream. But enough about the sad state of the media in America. Here is what is happening in Bangladesh right now: In January, after years of corrupt government, a popularly-backed military government was installed in a coup. A state of emergency was declared and all protests and political activities were declared illegal. (Starting to see where I'm going with this one?) But it didn't take long for the only people allowed to think for themselves, the students at Dhaka University in the capital city, to realize that yes, we are the only hope of the poorest country on earth and yes, there is something terribly wrong with this situation. There were military barracks on campuses everywhere; big brother was constantly watching, "Students and ordinary people are demanding an end to the state of emergency, an end to this atmosphere of fear," said Anwar Hossain, secretary general of Dhaka University Teachers Association. (BBC.com) The straw that broke the camel's proverbial back was a fairly innocuous incident two weeks ago that involved five students being roughed-up by police. But, even in Bangladesh, word gets around fast and students soon took to the streets to protest the military's presence on the sacred ground of academia. Student protests quickly turned into full-scale rioting. And, everyone knows, when students riot, the police had better riot back. And they did. In force. Thousands of soldiers with machine guns showed up at campuses across the country. A curfew was imposed on five major cities, and all colleges and universities were shut down, the students forced to leave door for "conspiracy to protest." A Kansan photographer who is covering the scene is physically and verbally abused, and when she refuses to leave is arrested herself. Now place yourself in a, no, the, third-world country and imagine that the previous summer has seen some of the deadliest flooding in recent history. their dorms. Hundreds of arrests were made, including faculty. You think your life sucks? Imagine that you are sitting in class in Wescoe when the door is kicked in by a National Guard officer (or maybe an ROTC trainee) who then cuffs your 63-year old Professor and shoves him out the MARK PETTERSON and your country is run by an army general with dictatorial inclinations who keeps putting off free elections. Is it difficult to imagine? It is for me. This is life in the bubble. We have it too easy. So who's to blame for the situation in this far-away country? The British envoy blamed the Bangladeshi opposition party for instigating the students, the students blamed the corrupt military for denying them freedom, and the government blamed the dismal economic and political situation that has been going on in Bangladesh ever since it was partitioned from Pakistan in 1971. Ever-vying for the title of poorest country on earth, Bangladesh redefines the term "impoverished." Ever heard of George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh? Yeah, it's the same one. It is a fascinating situation, and tragic. It jolts us out of our make-believe world in which the worst thing we have to worry about is a midterm or which party to attend next weekend. It also, however, shows the collective power of a group of people, particularly students, when they decide to take a stand against something they see as wrong. It makes me wonder - what might happen if we stood for something? No one really knows what a group of people so populous and stubborn and idealistic and energetic as college students could accomplish if they actually wanted something and did whatever they could to accomplish it. The students in Bangladesh, in their collective will, realized that they held an enormous power in their hands. Their protests are actually threatening to take down a strong military government. It is something that is completely foreign to us in Kansas. Personally I would hope that we would choose do something positive and unique, like eradicating AIDS or global poverty. But there is also a good chance that we will choose to use the power given to us for petty politics, to fight amongst ourselves, to slowly die in a bog of our own narcissism. I have seen it happen over and over. It is up to us to decide if we are going to unite for something positive, and if we will unite for anything at all. It is certainly within our power.

Dole President & CEO BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com Katherine Loeck/KANSAN Two former U.S. ambassadors speaking at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on Thursday night had different definitions for genocide, but they agreed that one step in the solution to the problem was for students to form discussion groups to talk about the situation. Jonathan Earle, interim director of the Dole Institute of Politics, questions former Ambassador Edward Brynn during a moderated discussion about genocide Thursday night. Bryn and another speaker, former Ambassador Robert Beecroft, began the night with definitions of genocide and moved into audience-prompted comments on generating student awareness. Former Ambassadors Robert Beecroft and Edward Brynn answered questions from students and the Lawrence community last night during a moderated discussion in front of a nearly packed audience. Beecroft served as ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina from 2001 to 2006. Brynn served as ambassador to Burkino Faso in western Africa from 1990 to 1993 and Ghana from 1995 to 1998. Beecroft said that what he called the "CNN Factor" had played a significant role to increase the sensitivity of the international community to genocide. "One of the things that can really have an impact is to shed the light of the anger of the people at the top to the instigators of genocide," Beecroft said. Beccroft said there were two kinds of war: wars of choice and wars of necessity. He said the only war of necessity during the past hundred years was World War II. He said people had to choose their wars carefully and think about the entry strategy as well as the exit strategy. He said there were other ways to end genocide that didn't involve war. "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail," Beecroft said. Both Brynn and Beeccroft said that they were impressed with the number of students in attendance and that they were accustomed to speaking in front of older audiences. Brynn and Beecroft agreed that nongovernment organizations such as churches and citizen groups played an influential role in changing the conditions. Beecroft said that those groups were more flexible, adaptive and responsive than government groups. Brynn said the high level of attention to Darfur was due mostly to citizen groups that have forced outside governments to take action. But he said the genocide in the Congo was just as bad if not worse than the genocide in Darfur. He said people paid less attention to the Congo because America didn't have the same connections there that it did in Darfur. Brynn said the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots played a significant role in the continuing existence of genocide. He said that genocide would continue until there was a redistribution of the world's resources. Edited by Tara Smith NATION Suicide rates among teens increase dramatically BY GREG BLUESTEIN ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — The suicide rate among preteen and young teen girls spiked dramatically in a disturbing shift that federal health officials say they can't fully explain. For all young people between ages 10 to 24, the suicide rate rose 8 percent from 2003 to 2004 — the biggest single-year jump in 15 years — in what one official called "a dramatic and huge increase." The biggest increase was in the suicide rate for 10- to 14-year-old girls. There were 94 suicides in that age group in 2004, compared to 56 in 2003, a 67 percent increase. The rate is still low — fewer than one per 100,000 population. The report, based on the latest numbers available, was released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and suggests a troubling reversal in recent trends. Suicide rates had fallen by 28.5 percent since 1990 among young people. Suicide rates among older teen girls, those aged 15-19, shot up 32 percent; rates for males in that age group rose 9 percent. "In surveillance speak, this is a dramatic and huge increase," Dr. Ileana Arias said of the overall picture. She is director of the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. More research is needed to determine whether this is a trend or just a blip, said one child psychiatrist, Dr. Thomas Cummins of Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago. "We all need to keep our eye on this over time to see if this is a continuing trend." Overall, there were 4,599 suicides among young people in 2004, making it the third-leading cause of death, surpassed only by car crashes and homicide, Arias said. Males committed suicide far more often than females, accounting for about three-quarters of suicides in this age group. The study also documented a change in suicide "While we can't say (hanging) is a trend yet, we are confident that's an unusually high number in 2004," said Dr. Keri Lubell, a CDC behavioral scientist who was one of the study authors. "There's a lot of pressure in and around middle school kids. They're kind of all transition kids. They're turbulent times to begin with." method. In 1990, guns accounted for more than half of all suicides among young females. By 2004, though, death by hanging and suffocation became the most common suicide method. It accounted for about 71 percent of all suicides in girls aged 10-14; about half of those aged 15-19; and 34 percent between 20-24. Scientists speculated that hanging may have become the most accessible method. "It is possible that hanging and suffocation is more easily available than other methods, especially for these other groups". Arias said. RICHARD LIEBERMAN Los Angeles public school suicide prevention program coordinator that prevention focused solely on restricting access to pills, weapons or other lethal means may be of limited success. The CDC is advising health officials to consider focusing suicide prevention programs on girls ages 10-19 and boys between 15-19 to reverse the trends. It also said the suicide methods suggest As for why rates are up, Richard Lieberman, who coordinates the suicide prevention program for Los Angeles public schools, said one cause could be a rise in depression during tumultuous adolescent years. "There's a lot of pressure in and around middle school kids. They're kind of all transition kids. They're turbulent times to begin with." he said. "The hotline's been ringing off the hook with middle school kids experimenting with a wide variety of self-injurious behavior, exploring different ways to hurt themselves." Arias said the declining use of antidepressants in those age groups might play a role. But it's "not the only factor" that health officials will be studying. Four years ago, federal regulators warned that antidepressants seemed to raise the risk of suicidal behavior among young people, so black box warnings were put on the drugs' packaging. When partial teen suicide data was published earlier this year, experts noted at the time that the drop in sales of the drugs corresponded with a rise in the suicide rate. Now there is concern that some children who need the medication aren't getting it. "Suicide is a multidimensional and complex problem," Arias said. "As much as we'd like to attribute suicide to a single source so we can fix it, unfortunately we can't do that." More education is needed, some specialists said, so that teachers, parents and others can quickly spot troubled teens. To Indians, Bollywood is not just a term used to describe the Indian film industry. To them this term means much more than that. The mention of Bollywood brings forth images of grandeur, opulence and movies with huge stars, extravagant sets and colorful locales. It makes one think of movies with songs and dances galore and a journey into a dream world that is often larger than life. Bollywood key to Indian film culture Societal standards slowly changing The term "Bollywood" is a fusion of "Bombay" and "Hollywood." Bombay, now known as Mumbai, is the city in which Bollywood is based. This term is also a derogatory way of describing the film industry. Because of that, a lot of people refer to it as the Hindi Film Industry. Hindi is the language that the films are made in. "We rely so much on Bollywood for entertainment," said Neha Pardeshi, Mumbai, India, sophomore. "It plays such an important role in our lives. We look up to it for recreation. I personally like it for the music and because it connects us to our home. It makes me miss India." Until recently a Bollywood movie was considered a guaranteed hit if it was full of stars and had a collection of decent songs. At the time, the Indian public was star-crazy and would watch a movie just to see its favorite star, not because it found the story appealing. The situation has changed a lot since then. Stars are still considered crucial for a film, and the Indian public is still star-crazy, but big names are no longer the most important ingredient for a film's success. A movie with a story and rank newcomers is often more successful than a movie with no story and plenty of KULTURE BY AMRUTA BHADKAMKAR In the past, Bollywood directors were always considerate of the Indian values and belief system. Few dared to make movies that discussed topics that were taboo, such as adultery, sex and divorce. This is not the case anymore. Because the Indian audience is becoming more tolerant, the number of movies that feature these topics are increasing. However copied or silly Hindi movies might be, they still provide Indians living in the United States with a link to their home country and represent an important part of Indian culture. "Being successful in the industry depends on who you know and not what you know," she said. "Contacts matter." But all said and done, the movies make her feel nostalgic and homesick. Naidu said one of the most negative aspects of the Bollywood industry was its politics. The Stars are coming out... Sex on the Hill 07 September 20th presented by THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Naidu also said Bollywood movies copy Hollywood movies a lot, but one original aspect of the industry is the singing and dancing. "They are fun to watch, especially since they are becoming more hi-tech," she said. "They reflect the cultural aspects of Indian life and also cover topics ranging from daily life to glamour." "Though not all make sense, they are still entertaining." Ramya Naidu, Bangalore, India, graduate student. "You have to stop being practical while watching them." Edited by Kyle Carter Indian movies have always been musicals. Regardless of its genre, a movie had to contain several songs. A lot of Indian films still have songs but they are no longer crucial for a movie's success. CAMPAIGNS Study says religion helps. hurts candidates WASHINGTON — People view Hillary Rodham Clinton and Rudy Giuliani as the least religious of the presidential candidates, according to a poll released Thursday. Mitt Romney was seen as most religious, but his Mormonism may hurt him with voters Seven in 10 people in the nonpartisan Pew Research Center poll said they believe it is important for a president to have strong religious beliefs.

But last week, Bechard received reminder from the least likely of places: Appalachian State. "You don't hear some of those names sometimes," Bechard said. "They're not household volleyball names, but I don't know that Appalachian State was a household name." You see, Kansas was competing at the Spartan Invitation in East Lansing, Mich., on Saturday when Appalachian State pulled its historic upset against Michigan. And when Bechard entered Jenison Fieldhouse at Michigan State for Kansas' Saturday afternoon match, he was treated to a strange sight. "There were a lot of Michigan State fans wearing Appalachian State shirts," Bechard said. That is all the reminder Bechard needed to not overlook St. Peters, Wyoming and Morehead State this weekend at the Jayhawk Classic. Kansas begins the tournament at noon today at Horesil Family Athletics Center against St. Peters then finishes with Wyoming at 7 p.m. tonight and Morehead State at noon on Saturday. Kansas comes in the tournament with a 4-3 record after winning consecutive matches against Missouri State and UMKC. The Jayhawks' first opponent, St. Peter's, is 2-7 and has lost four straight matches. Xansas' other opponents, Wyoming and Morehead State, are 3-2 and 4-3, respectively. Barring an unlikely event, Kansas once again will play without its starting middle hitter, junior Natalie Uhart. Uhart was injured against Michigan State on Aug. 31 and has not played since. She sat PATRICK MILLER Mahoney Bechard, who is unable to comment on the severity of the injury because of NCAA rules, said he hoped to have Uhart back in the next few weeks. Uhart missed all of last season after suffering a knee injury in the team's preseason alumnae match. Senior Caitlin Mahoney will continue to see more playing time in Uhart's absence. out of Wednesday's 3-0 victory against UMKC. Kansas continues to be led offensively by freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser. She leads the team with 2.48 kills per game, but some inconsistent play has led to 49 hitting errors and a hitting percentage of 0.75. Bechard has said that he wants his team's hitting percentage to be between .220 and .240. Right now, Kansas is has a team hitting percentage of .150. Sophomore transfer Flavia Lino also has provided a lift to the offense, averaging 2.38 kills per game and leading the team with 13 aces. Kansas also will lean on senior setter Emily Brown for another strong performance. The Baldwin City native had 27 assists, 3 digs and 5 blocks against UMKC and is leading the team with 6.27 assists per game. Freshman Melissa Manda is another newcomer making an early season impact for the Jayhawks. Manda had 10 digs against UMKC while starting at libero and has given the Jayhawks 3.31 digs per game. A libero is a defensive specialist. Sophomore setter Katie Martincich has picked up where she left off last season. Martincich is averaging 4.54 assists and 2.38 digs per game after leading the team in assists a season ago.

Cauzilla praised goalkeeper Colleen Quinn for her performance. Home opener spoiled by loss Overtime defeat leaves room for improvement BY ALISON CUMBOW acumbow@kansan.com The Kansas soccer team lost its home opening game against Brigham Young University on Thursday. The team's third loss adds to a string of disappointments this season. Kansas lost 0-1 on a penalty kick in overtime. The women started the first half with a strong surge of both energy and enthusiasm. The hope for the third game of their fall season to be the charm was high and seemed definite. Big Jay made an appearance at the game, and Jayhawk fans continued to file in well into the 30th minute. Senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn impressed her teammates, coaches and the crowd with her unstoppable goal saving abilities. Quinn successfully handled many distractions throughout the game, including a rabbit that thought it was its turn to receive a pass and an impromptu shower break. She kept her eye on the ball when the field sprinklers unexpectedly came on, shading her view. "She really showed us the kind of keeper she can be," senior midfielder Nicole Cauzillo said.

On any given play a number of distractions pop up between the viewer and the action in the trenches. Receivers sprint here and there, linebackers blitz, safeties scatter into zone coverage — and that's not including the quarterback or ball-carrier. In lieu of focusing on the tackles, guards and center on every single snap, the best place to look for a quick assessment of the offensive line is often the "rushing yards" The Jayhawk linemen certainly did an impressive job coming off of the line of scrimmage. It seemed whenever Kansas decided to run the ball, Central Michigan's defensive linemen were either on the ground or moving backward within milliseconds of column in the final box score. Using that method of evaluation, the Kansas offensive line earned a passing grade last weekend, paving the way for 230 rushing yards. ("The offensive linemen) did a nice job," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "They came off the ball in the run game, really got a good take off and got some vertical push, which you want." Center David Ochoa and guards Boo Whitaker and Travis Dambach graduated, leaving Kansas with three open spots in the middle of the line. Mangino plugged two of the holes from within the program, penciling in untested junior Adrian Mayes at left guard and versatile junior Ryan Cantrell at center. Kansas pulled a new right guard from the junior college ranks when Chet Hartley, out of Butler County Community College, chose to attend Kansas instead of Florida State last spring. "When we recruited (Chet), we were hoping that he could add some immediate help on the offensive line," Mangino said. "He's doing a good job and learning every day. Every day there's something new for him to pick up, but he's coming along nicely." the snap. The sheer dominance that Kansas displayed was surprising considering how much talent the team lost after last season. Hartley did not make a big splash coming out of Kingman High, but honed his skills for two seasons at Butler and became a highly sought-after prospect. At 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds, he has the body of a stellar lineman: heavy-set but tall and SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 6B 25 11 73 22 37 85 35 MAYES 6 CANTRELL 50 79 65 The Kansas offensive line holds off defenders to give senior running back Brandon McAnderson room to run in the Jayhawks' 52-7 victory against Central Michigan on Saturday.

NFL WASHINGTON — Bids topped $10,000 Thursday on an Internet auction site for what an animal rights group says are notes from football star Michael Vick's speech apologizing for a dogfighting scandal. Vick notes for sale on eBay; other memorabilia available The Humane Society of the United States is selling on eBay the single-page, six-point outline of the speech Vick gave at an Aug. 27 news conference in Richmond after pleading guilty in his dogfighting case. The group is planning to put all proceeds in a restricted account dedicated to the prevention of dog fighting. "Our motive is only to help animals and it would be something if we can do that through taking the conduct of Michael Vick and turning it into something positive," said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States. Bidding has been fierce since the group first offered the notes on Tuesday, even though there is no verification that the notes were used by Vick. Vick attorney Billy Martin said through a spokesman that the notes were not taken by Vick. The spokesman would not say whether an adviser or attorney wrote the notes for him. Pacelle said a society employee retrieving a microphone found the notes on a hotel ballroom podium after Vick walked away from it at the end of his news conference. The talking points were written on a slip of notepad paper with the logo of the Omni hotel. The note reads: 1. Apologize for what I've done. 1. Apologize for what I've done. 2. Apologize Commissioner, AB, Petrino, Ashamed, Disappointed. 3. Young Kids I acted immat. 5. Take Full Responsibility For my Actions. 4. Forgiveness + Understanding 6. We All Make Mistakes. I've made mistakes in judgement (sic). Scrawled in the corner in similar handwriting and separated by a line is the statement, "Dogs have Suffered."

FCS teams eligible for 71-year-old poll Lower-division programs allowed votes in Associated Press rankings SOCON Appalachian SOCON BY PAUL NEWBERRY ASSOCIATED PRESS "If I have any openings in my poll, they would certainly be strongly considered," said Van Brimmer, who works for the Georgia-based Morris News Service. After pulling off one of the greatest upsets in college football history, Appalachian State is still shaking things up. The Associated Press said Thursday that lower-division schools — that means you, mountainers — are now eligible for its 71-year-old poll. "It's great they opened the door," Appalachian State coach Jerry Moore said. "Certainly we're not going to be the No. 1 team in the country. We know that. We're not even going to be in the top 10. But if you have a win over a nice football team, I like that it's not out of the realm of possibility for a school like us to be one of the top 20 or 25 teams in the country." One poll voter, Adam Van Brimmer, said he wanted to put Appalachian State at No. 25 after their win over the Wolverines, largely as a symbolic gesture. He might still do it next week, assuming the Mountaineers beat Division II Lenoir-Rhyne. Several AP voters expressed interest in putting Appalachian State on their ballots after a shocking 34-32 upset at then-No. 5 Michigan last weekend. But the poll guidelines, which mirrored the coaches' rankings conducted by USA Today, limited eligibility to teams competing in the former NCAA Division I-A, now known as the Football Bowl Subdivision. The Mountaineers compete in the Football Championship Subdivision, known before this season as Division I-AA. The AP decided to make the change because schools that show they can compete with big-time teams on the field should have a chance to be recognized with them in the top 25, Sports Editor Terry Taylor said. "Why not? The poll was always intended to measure teams that compete against each other, regardless of division, based solely on on-field performance," she said. "It was that way long before Division I was divided into I-A and I-AA in 1978." In a previous job, he covered longtime Division I-AA powerhouse Georgia Southern, which, like Appalachian State, is a member of the Southern Conference. "Having spent so much time watching those Georgia Southern teams, I'm sure the top teams in the Southern Conference are as good as any mid majors" in the upper division," Van Brimmer said. "They're probably as good as anybody in the MAC (Mid-American Conference). They're better than most in the Sun Belt." Joe Giglio of The News "They could go unbeaten the rest of the way, which is certainly a possibility," Giglio said. "But that would be a problem, particularly in the methodology I use. They would never have a chance to improve their ranking." getting into their conference schedule. USA Today plans no change in it would be pretty difficult to evaluate some of the I-AA teams they play, because they don't have the same exposure as I-A teams." JOHN HEUSER The Ann Arbor, Mich., News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C., said he would have voted for the Mountaineers this week, though he never considered where to put them after being told they weren't eligible. He's not sure if Appalachian State will get another chance to crack his top 25 since the school doesn't face another big-time opponent, which affects strength of schedule. After Lenoir-Rhyne, the Mountaineers take on Northern Arizona before its poll, which will continue to be limited to schools in the division formerly known as I-A. State was a unanimous choice at No. 1) and a playoff system to determine its champion (the Mountaineers have won the last two titles). As Giglio pointed out, the Football Championship Subdivision has its own poll (Appalachian "We're probably better off just separating church and state, so to speak," he said. "How long is the shelf life for beating Michigan? At some point, it wouldn't be enough" to keep them in the top 25. Another AP voter, John Heuser of The Ann Arbor (Mich.) News, agreed that Appalachian State might be able to crack the poll next week, but would have a hard time staying there the rest of the season. "It would be pretty difficult to evaluate some of the I-AA teams they play, because they don't have the same exposure as I-A teams," said Heuser, who covered Saturday's shocking upset. "We know how good Appalachian State is because they beat Michigan. But I would not really be able to assess how good their opponents are the rest of the season." Taylor said those sort of issues should be up to the voters, not the news cooperative that organizes the poll and tallies up the ballots. "This was an issue we never had to face before," she said. "But we thought about it and decided there should be no rule against ranking a I-AA team, as long as that team competed against a I-A opponent. "Oddities of one sort or the other frequently crop up where the poll is concerned, and it's not unusual for us to make adjustments. This one was just the fair and right thing to do." Heuser said the Mountaineers were certainly deserving of being in the top 25 for at least one week. "They are an impressive team," he said. "I thought they were Michigan's equal on the field. I didn't think it was a fluke at all." BIGGEST BACK TO SCHOOL BASH!

Saturday will be his best chance to prove that the Horned Frogs deserve it. Texas Christian looked much better in its first game of the season than Texas did. The Horned Frogs' defense dictated the pace of a 27-0 win against Baylor. Texas was nearly upset by Arkansas State before they recovered an onside kick to ensure a 21-13 victory. But Arkansas State still gained 397 total yards on the Longhorn defense, a troubling number for Texas fans. It's still unannounced whether Horned Frog standout defensive end Tommy Blake will return from injury for Saturday's game. Texas Christian will need him to apply pressure on Texas quarterback Colt McCoy. MIAMI (FLA.) (1-0) AT NO. 5 OKLAHOMA (1-0) First, it pairs two tradition-rich programs against each other. Miami and Oklahoma combined have 12 national championships. There are a few reasons why diehard college football fans will love this game. Second, the game will likely be filled with bruising hits and smash-mouth football. Oklahoma has one of the best defensive backfields in the nation with junior Reggie Smith and Nic Harris flying across the field. Miami is strong on defense too with Kenny Phillips and junior Randy Phillips waiting to deliver pulverizing hits. Graig Cooper rushed for 116 yards against Marshall. Sooner freshman running back DeMarco Murray rushed for five touchdowns against North Texas. Hurricane freshman running back NO.16 NEBRASKA (1-0) AT WAKE FOREST (0-1) Nebraska's rushing yards in its first game: 413. ASSOCIATED PRESS Cornhusker running back Marlon Lucky leads the nation in rushing after one week with 233 yards. The Demon Deacons must find a way to establish the run Saturday. Wake Forest's rushing yards in its first game: 2. Nebraska's one weakness is its rush defense because its defensive line is inexperienced. Wake Forest, last season's ACC champions, will also be forced to run the ball more because sophomore-starting quarterback Riley Skinner will miss the game after separating his shoulder. Sophomore quarterback Brett Hodges will fill in and faces a daunting task throwing against Nebraska cornerbacks Zackary Bowman and Andre Jones. NO. 9 VIRGINIA TECH (1-0) AT NO. 2 LOUISIANA STATE (1-0) There are a couple of key matchups to keep an eye on in this game. The Hokies had the top-ranked defense in the nation going into bowl season last year, but the Tigers roster is full of offensive playmakers. Louisiana State wide receiver Early Doucet is one of the nation's best and is complimented by a group of three competent but distinct running backs. Virginia Tech quarterback Sean Glennon has a tendency to turn the ball over. He will be facing a Louisiana State defense that had no fewer than six interceptions in its first game. The Tigers' defense, led by senior linebacker Ali Highsmith and senior cornerback Jonathon Zenon, may be the fastest in the nation. SOUTH CAROLINA (1-0) AT NO. 11 GEORGIA (1-0) Justin Akers of Baylor chases TCU linebacker Jason Phillips after he intercepts the football against Baylor Saturday. TCU easily defeated Baylor in Fort Worth, Texas, 27-0. This is the first of what will prove to be many great games in the Southeastern Conference this season. South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier was appalled with his team's 28-14 win over a weak Louisiana-Lafayette team. Gamecock's senior quarterback Blake Mitchell will return from academic suspension to play in Athens, Ga. The Gamecocks have other concerns, though. They gave up 252 rushing yards in their first game and now play the Bulldogs, a team with two great running backs. Georgia redshirt freshman running back Knowshon Moreno gained more than 120 all-purpose yards against Oklahoma State. OTHER GAMES: MISSOURI (1-0) AT MISSISSIPPI (1-0) Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns against Illinois. But how will he handle playing in front of an intense Southeastern Conference crowd? COLORADO (1-0) AT ARIZONA STATE (1-0) The Sun Devils are enthusiastic about new coach Dennis Erickson, but the Buffaloes are enthusiastic about new quarterback Cody Hawkins, their coach's son. SAN JOSE STATE (0-1) AT KANSAS STATE (0-1) The Wildcats return to Manhattan after a devastating loss to the Auburn Tigers. The Spartans did nothing well in the 45-3 loss to Arizona State. FRESNO STATE (1-0) AT TEXAS A&M (1-0) The Aggies compiled more than 250 rushing yards against Montana State. But Fresno State's rushing defense should provide a little more resistance. EL-PASO (1-0) AT TEXAS TECH (1-0) UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS Miners quarterback Trevor Vittato struggled to throw for 59 yards in his first game. Red Raiders quarterback Graham Harrell threw for 416 yards with ease in his first game. 39 FLORIDA ATLANTIC (1-0) AT OKLAHOMA STATE (0,1) Florida Atlantic is the only Sun Belt Conference team to win its opening game. Oklahoma State will look to bounce back from a disappointing performance against Georgia. NORTHERN IOWA (1-0) AT IOWA STATE (0-1) Northern Iowa will try to follow in fellow-FCS power Appalachian State's footsteps and beat an FBS program. The Panthers have a much easier task as the Cyclones couldn't even overcome Kent State last weekend. MARSHALL (0-1) AT NO. 3 WEST VIRGINIA (1-0) The Thundering Herd gave up more than 200 rushing yards to Miami's combination of Graig Cooper and Javarris James last week. Things won't get easier this week as they face West Virginia's Pat White and Steve Slaton. TROY (0-1) AT NO. 4 FLORIDA (1-0) The Trojans played right with the Arkansas Razorbacks for the first half last week. This week, they'll try to hang in for a full game with another SEC opponent. NO. 5 WISCONSIN (1-0) AT UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA LAS VEGAS (1-0) The Rebels held the Utah State Aggies to 237 yards total offense last week. The Badgers will be a tougher opponent with quarterback Tyler Donovan and running back P.J Hill AKRON (1-0) AT NO. 12 OHIO STATE (1-0) New Buckeye quarterback Todd Boeckman was impressive in his first start, throwing for 225 yards. But the games get increasingly tougher and that starts this week against the Zips. BRIGHAM YOUNG (1-0) AT NO. 13 UCLA (1-0) Cougar wide receiver Harvey Unga had 127 yards in his first game. Bruin defensive back Chris Horton will be waiting for him this week, though. NOTRE DAME (0-1) AT NO. 14 PENN STATE (1-0) last week. This week, he's already announced freshman phenom Jimmy Clausen will be under center. Refusing to formally announce a starting quarterback didn't go so well for Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis NO.22 BOISE STATE (1-0) AT WASHINGTON (1-0) Washington believes it can be the team to snap Boise State's 15-game winning streak. The Broncos will count on senior defensive back Marty Tadman to lead the defense against an explosive Huskies offense. OREGON (1-0) AT MICHI- GAN (0-1) COMMENTARY The Wolverines are forced to abandon their goals of a national championship. But all it should think about right now are the up-and-coming Ducks to avoid another loss in Ann Arbor, Mich. Edited by Jeff Briscoe Last minute advice for fantasy football owners 11 ASSOCIATED PRESS San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith could be an impact player for fantasy football owners. San Francisco's first game is against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday. KELLY BRECKUNITCH KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM The NFL season officially kicked off last night with the Colts playing the Saints. That means the fantasy football season is finally underway. Here are some things to watch for in the weekend games. MATCH-UP BENEFITS; — Anquan Boldin. San Francisco's new addition Nate Clements provides a sufficient challenge to Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. However, the 49ers do not have much depth at cornerback behind Clements. This should allow Boldin to have a big game since he is a more potent option going against San Francisco's No. 2 cornerback. Dallas Offense. Pick any player you want and they will have the advantage over an aging and less-than-impressive Giants defense. Even though I would never own him on my team, Terrell Owens could have a huge game Sunday. Even Tony Romo could look better than Eli Manning this weekend. — San Diego Defense. How could they not have the edge? They are playing a team led by Rex Grossman. Chicago is also debuting first-year starter Cedric Benson at running back Sunday. That's enough to sell me on the Chargers defense. Add a shaky receiving corps and I can almost guarantee a shutout.

It will be a tough day for the Vikings first-year starter. He is a mobile quarterback, but he faces an Atlanta defense that was ranked third last year in rushing defense according to Espn.com. Bill Simons justified Adrian Peterson as one of his top 50 fantasy players by saying, "Yeah, he's splitting time with Chester Taylor and probably rushing against the first 11-0-0 defensive formation because of Tavaris Jackson, but you never know." That statement alone should haunt Jackson as he heads into his first career start on Sunday. whether it's Vernand Morency or Brandon jackson. The Eagles return most of the parts of a defense that was ranked 7th overall last season according to Espn.com. The Packers will have a tough time on offense, especially running the ball. laparrillalawrence.com 814 Massachusetts 841-1100 — Chiefs Secondary. This may be a pattern throughout the season. The Chiefs pass defense is almost always at the bottom of the league rankings, and that spells trouble this year when they barely have an offense. It's even more trouble when they are mismatched in their first game against the Houston Texans. The Texans added quarterback Matt Schaub and have a solid receiver in Andre Johnson that will create major problems for the Chiefs secondary. Jacoby Jones may even cause problems for the Chiefs. — Lee Evans. Lee Evans could have a stellar year, but he has to start off against the best cornerback in the NFL. Champ Bailey is arguably the only cover corner left in the league. He gives every wide receiver problems and Lee Evans will be no different. It was no mistake that Bailey led the league in interceptions last year. — San Francisco vs. Arizona. San Francisco made a lot of smart moves in the off-season and has built up a solid team that will compete at a high level in the NFC West this year. Arizona has taken gradual steps toward success the past few years. Do not be surprised if this year's NFC West is similar to the NL West in baseball, consisting of a lot of teams with very close records. Monday Night will be all about the offenses, and if you have any of those players on your team, look for a lot of points to roll your way, unless, of course, you have the Cardinals or 49ers defenses.

During the 98th minute, freshman defender, Lauren Jackson fouled inside the box, giving BYU a possible win at the game. BYU's Katie Larkin was successful, and the ball flew past Quinn.

"Right now we're struggling a little bit, and we need to show what we're really capable of. I told the players the game should have been over before that," Francis said.

For the first three years of his career at Kansas, Ryan Cantrell was one of the unluckiest men on the Kansas roster.

With Ochoa finally gone, Cantrell has stepped in as the vocal leader on the offensive line. "Ryan's doing a really good job." Collins said. "Ryan talks — on every play he'll scream and holler.

NFL Broncos move Bell from tailback to fullback ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Mike Bell is trying to accept his new role as fullback and be appreciative of the opportunity. Note: Admission is free with a KUID It's just that he can't quite embrace the change. Bell still wants to be a tailback. "I'm not the happiest camper," Bell said Thursday. "I've been playing tailback my whole life. I'm not going to be jumping for joy." Bell was notified of the change shortly before the last preseason game on Aug. 30. It's still taking some getting used to. He's currently listed as the team's backup fullback behind Cecil Sapp, who also a converted running back. Denver head coach Mike Shanahan said he made the move for flexibility purposes. He wants to be able to move players around. Bell said he was initially shocked by the move. He doesn't plan on gaining any weight for his new role. He'll stick at 220 pounds. That way, he can keep his elusiveness should he switch back. "But I'm starting to learn you can't be shocked," said Bell, who rushed for 677 yards and eight touchdowns last season as an undrafted rookie out of Arizona. "You've got to expect the unexpected." And it's not unprecedented. The Broncos moved both Reuben Droughts and Mike Anderson from fullback to tailback in past seasons. MLB Associated Press 26 St. Louis Cardinals center fielder Rick Ankiel dives but misses a ball hit for a double by Pittsburgh Pirates' Matt Kata on Thursday. He made up for it by hitting two home runs and knocking in seven RBIs. ASSOCIATED PRESS Ankiel leads another Cardinals surge BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Rick Ankiel isn't just hitting, he's turning into a force. "Marvel is a good word," manager Tony La Russa said. "It's kind of amazing, isn't it? Clutch, too." Ankiel homered twice and had a career-high seven RBIs, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the Pittsburgh Pirates 16-4 Thursday in a game shortened to eight innings because of rain. Ankiel hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the second inning for a 5-2 lead against Bryan Bullington (0-1), who made his major league debut five years after he was the No. 1 overall pick in the amateur draft. Ankiel made it 11-3 with a two-run drive in the fifth against John Grabow and added a two-run double in the sixth off Dave Davidson, also making his big league debut. Brought up Aug. 9 in his first major league appearance since he pitched for the Cardinals in 2004.

"It was a good day, that's for sure," Ankiel said. "It's been unbelievable." "They took some of our young kids and hit them hard - period." Pirates manager Jim Tracy said. "Flat pitches in the middle of the plate get hit often, and hard." St. Louis (69-68) is one game behind NL Central co-leaders Chicago and Milwaukee, scoring its most runs since Aug. 29, 2001, against San Diego.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2007 SPORTS >> NFL 7B Colts destroy Saints after slow first half Indianapolis scores 31-straight points BY DAVE GOLDBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — It took the Indianapolis Colts one half to shake off their post-Super Bowl hangover. Then Peyton Manning and friends came alive to beat New Orleans 41-10 Thursday night in the NFLs opener, running away in the final 30 minutes with a championship-caliber performance. Playing against his hometown team, Manning had three TD passes, two to Reggie Wayne and another to Marvin Harrison. Joseph Addaari for 118 yards on 23 carriers and a super-quick defense with four new starters shut down Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and the explo- It took a little while before Manning got the Colts' offense focused. sive New Orleans offense. "With Marvin and Reggie, you're always going to throw it to those guys." a good day, they say you're picking on one guy. We really don't do that." The game finally put the focus back on football after an offseason dominated by player discipline problems and long suspensions, most notably involving Michael Vick and Adam "Pacman" Jones. Commissioner Roger Goodell, who was at the game, said beforehand, "I think we're ready now to get the focus back on football." The game was tied 10-10 after a sloppy first half. But Manning, who finished 18-of-30 for 288 yards, led two quick TD drives in the first 8:49 of the second half as the Colts put up 24 points in 20 minutes after intermission. On the first drive, Manning hit Harrison for 42 yards to set up a 2-yard TD run by Addai. Then the Super Bowl MVP came right back to throw a 28-yard TD pass to Wayne. PEYTON MANNING Quarterback, Indianapolis Colts "NFL games are 60 minutes long. We were a little out of synch in the first half" coach Tony Dungy said. "They played us defensively a little different than we thought. We knew we had to run the ball a little more." New Orland cornerback Jason David produced the Saints' only TD, stripping Wayne after a second-quarter completion, picking up the ball and returning it 55 yards for the score. "We don't do that," Manning said when asked if he deliberately went at David. "We had the right calls at the right time. With Marvin and Reggie, you're always going to throw it to those guys. If you have Manning was just 8-of-17 for 101 yards in the first half, 66 of those on two completions: the 27-yard TD to Harrison, plus 39 on a throw to Dallas Clark that set up Adam Vinatieri's 33-yard field goal that tied the game at 10. But the Saints, who reached the NFC title game last season before losing to Chicago, never could get their potent offense going. They had just 112 total yards in the first half, and Bush and Deuce McAllister each had just 21 yards rushing before intermission against a made-over Indianapolis defense. That unit included undrafted rookie Ed Johnson at defensive tackle in place of the injured Anthony McFarland. Both finished with just 38 yards, Bush on 12 carries and McAllister on 10. Brees was 27-of-40 for 183 yards and two interceptions. The Colts took a 7-0 lead on the Manning-to-Harrison TD in the first quarter, David's play tied the game, and Mare's field goal put the Saints up 10-7. That lasted until the late drive keyed by the Manning-Clark hookup. Then the Colts took over com- pletely in the second half. The Manning-Wayne 45-yarder made it 34-10 early in the fourth quarter and Matt Giordano's 83-yard interception capped the win. 9 18 ASSOCIATED PRESS Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, right, and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees meet after a 41-10 CLO win in NFL football action in Indianapolis, Thursday.

LOUISVILLE 11 12 ASSOCIATED PRESS Middle Tennessee quarterback Joe Craddock, right, rushes past Louisville defender Malik Jackson during their game in Louisville, Ky., on Thursday. The Cardinals retained their perfect start to the season by surviving the gun battle. ASSOCIATED PRESS Louisville barely avoids big upset BY WILL GRAVES ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Brian Brohm threw for a career-high 401 yards and five touchdowns and Anthony Allen added a school-record 275 yards rushing and two scores as No. 8 Louisville avoided a major upset by surviving Middle Tennessee 58-42 Thursday night at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. Mario Urrutia, Gary Barnidge and Harry Douglas all topped 100 yards receiving as the Cardinals (2-0) extended the nation's second-longest home winning streak to 20 games. COLLEGE FOOTBALL It wasn't easy. The Blue Raiders (0-2) never led, but the Sun Belt Conference champions never let the Cardinals get comfortable. Despite Brohm being at his efficient best, the Blue Raiders nearly matched the high-powered Cardinals in a game that featured 1,284 yards from scrimmage, 13 touchdowns and no defense on either side. Middle Tennessee quarterback Joe Craddock threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns and Phillip Tanner added 144 yards rushing and three touchdowns for the Blue Raiders. DeMarco McNair ran for 72 yards and a score and caught three passes for 92 yards and a touchdown for Middle Tennessee. When Louisville opened the game with an 81-yard touchdown pass from Brohm to Barnidge on the first play from scrimmage, it took the Blue Raiders all of three plays to tie the game as Craddock hit McNair for a 78-yard score. It was the salvoins in a Things never really slowed down. Louisville scored on its first six possessions, but led only 38-35 at the break as the Blue Raiders baffled a Louisville defense that seemed out of position most of the time and unable to get its hands on the slippery Tanner. Brohm would lead the Cardinals down the field, and the Blue Raiders would respond, shredding a Louisville defense that appeared confused by the myriad of formations Middle Tennessee threw on the field. The Blue Raiders kept responding so quickly, the Cardinals changed tactics, opting to grind it out with Allen for most of the second half. Allen responded with the best game of his career. dizzying first five minutes that had five touchdowns. A 48-yard run in the fourth quarter set up a short touchdown pass from Brohm to Douglas, and he allowed the Cardinals to run out the clock after Malik Jackson picked off Craddock in the end zone with less than seven minutes to go. The Blue Raiders raised serious concerns about Louisville's defense. Middle Tennessee piled up 555 yards of total offense.

Southeastern Louisiana's talent level is nowhere near that of Kansas, but the Jayhawks must avoid growing complacent heading into Saturday's game. Overlooking one nonconference opponent could throw the entire season overboard for the most promising team of the Mark Mangino era. BY THE NUMBERS (National ranking:2007 stats) 1052.0 ppg: scoring offense 31:230 ypg: rushing offense 14:308 ypg: passing offense 20:7.0 ppg: scoring defense 52:114 ypg: rushing defense 51:180 ypg: passing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Player to watch: Sophomore running back Jake Sharp. The Southeastern Louisiana defense likes to apply pressure to the quarterback to force miscues. If the Lions blitzes, Reesing could toss a shovel pass or quick swing pass to Sharp as a safety valve. With the defense in front of P Sharp him, Sharp finds ways to discover seams and gain yardage. With the defense behind him after an overzealous blitz, he could have an easy path to the end zone. QUESTION MARKS Will the Jayhawks stay focused? All week long, Kansas players have denied feeling any sort of emotional letdown while preparing for a lower-division team such as Southeastern Louisiana. Will Kansas be caught looking forward to next week's rematch with Toledo? Will Kansas score 50 again? Kansas blew Central Michigan's supposedly decent defense out of the water last week, scoring 35 first-half points before letting up on the accelerator. Southeastern Louisiana's defense isn't anywhere near as physical or talented as Central Michigan's. The 50 point question may not be an "if?" but rather a "when?"

SOUTHEAST LOUISISANA 6 p.m. Saturday, Memorial Stadium Kansas 1-0 OFFENSE Entering last week, the Kansas offense was a mystery. After a jaw-dropping 538-yard performance against Central Michigan, only one question remains: will Kansas top 600 yards on Saturday? The new offense fit sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing like a glove, the receivers did not drop a single pass, junior tackle Anthony Collins bulldozed everyone in his path, and Brandon McAnderson looked elusive and quick as an every-down back. Coach Mark Mangino said Southeastern Louisiana could show Kansas some different setups on defense, but Kansas' offense should find a way to light up the scoreboard often. ★★★★☆ DEFENSE The Jayhawks looked strong on defense last week. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton brought pressure up front, junior linebacker James Holt recorded nine tackles and freshman cornerback Chris Harris more than held his own in his first collegiate game. Southeastern Louisiana scored 14 points against New Mexico State one of the more porous defenses in the nation, last week. The Kansas defenders should try to get their hits in early, because by the second half the reserves could be on the field. ★★★☆ SPECIAL TEAMS Out of all the Impressive units last week, the special teams may have been the best. Senior kicker Scott Webb enjoyed one of his most impressive performances, making seven extra points, one field goal and placing three kickoffs in the end zone for touchbacks. Sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton stole the show with his 77-yard punt return touchdown. His sure hands and good field vision make him a consistent long-return threat and a sure bet to field the ball cleanly. Senior punter Kyle Tucker only averaged 38.2 yards per punt, but has shown the ability to pin opponents deep in their own territory. ★★★★★ Raimond Pendleton 0-1 Southeast Louisiana MOMENTUM Kansas currently has almost as much momentum as any team in the nation. Coming off of an absolute drubbing of a respectable Central Michigan team in a game that set the season-opening attendance record, Kansas looks almost unstoppable at the moment. Mangino and his players were loose and confident after the game, and the pressure has been lowered from its pre-Central Michigan level. The offense feels good about its new scheme and the defense feels good about its new personnel. OFFENSE ★★★★ Mangino earned a gold star for his ambitious calls in fourth-and short situations. He twice elected to go for first downs and twice gained the necessary yardage. The return of offensive coordinator Ed Warinner was the big story heading into the season and is an even bigger story now that his offense proved versatile and efficient. The no-huddle offense kept Central Michigan off balance and resulted in 45 offensive points. There's no telling what it could do to an overmatched FCS opponent like Southeastern Louisiana. The Lions' offense is centered around junior running back Jay Lucas. He not only will get the majority of the carries, but probably will be thrown to the most Saturday against the Jayhawks. Lucas gained 112 yards of total offense in Southeastern Louisiana's first game. The reliance on the running back represents coach Mike Lucas' reluctance to open up the offense for sophomore quarterback Brian Babin. Babin was 14-for-27 for 145 yards and an interception against New Mexico State, but only five of those completions were to players other than running backs or tight ends. COACHING ★★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★ Southeastern Louisiana surrendered 442 total yards and 7 yards per play to New Mexico State's dangerous offense last weekend. Judging by its first game, Kansas has every bit as good of an offense as New Mexico State. The Lions' defensive line must play better to stop the Jayhawks. Starting defensive tackles Caleb St. Louis and Brennen Harris were non-factors stopping the run and pressuring the quarterback in their first game.The secondary is the strength of the Lions' team.Junior cornerbacks Demerious Johnson and Eric Jackson are veterans and combined for three interceptions in Southeastern Louisiana's first game. DEFENSE Asher Fusco 9 SPECIAL TEAMS The Lions need to find someone capable of returning kickoffs. Four different players returned six kicks in their first game for an average of 16.8 yards. Freshman kicker Danny Hrapmann has yet to attempt a field goal in his collegiate career. Although he was unspectacular against New Mexico State, Hrappman did manage to keep the ball in bounds on all three kickoffs. Junior Cody Samples punted a total of 11 times in his first game for an average of 38 yards. MOMENTUM ★ ★ ★ ★ On the surface, the Lions have little momentum. They enter with a five-game losing streak dating back to the middle of last season. Southeastern Louisiana suffered a blowout 35-14 loss to its first FBS (formerly known as Division 1-A) opponent last week and still has two more, including Kansas, to face this season. The only other Big 12 team it ever played was Texas Tech last year, which resulted in a 62-0 loss. But all FCS (formerly known as Division 1-AA) teams are receiving a minor boost in morale after Appalachian State's heroes at Michigan last weekend. ★★★★ Coach Mike Lucas took over as interim head coach with three games remaining last season. He was unable to lead the Lions to any wins and lost each game by an average of 16 points. Lucas was formerly the Southeastern Louisiana defensive coordinator. First-time coordinator Matt Webb took Lucas' former position on defense. Offensive coordinator Tommy Condell spent the last three years calling plays for two CFL teams, the Ottawa Renegades and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. ★★★★ Case Keefer COACHING SELU KICK-OFF AT A GLANCE At A Glance: Southeastern Louisiana travels to Lawrence seeking its first victory since Oct. 14. The Lions were demolished 35-14 in their opener against the New Mexico State Aggies. Mike Lucas is still hoping for his first victory as the Southeastern Louisiana head coach after going 0-4 in his first four games.

Junior running back Jay Lucas plays in the Southland Conference, but has Big 12 talent. He transferred from Texas A&M two years ago, where he Lucas appeared in six games as a redshirt freshman and had a 54-yard touchdown run. He earned Louisiana Newcomer of the Year accolades last year as the Lions' leading rusher, second leading receiver, and even threw two touchdown passes QUESTION MARKS Brian Babin: Southeastern Louisiana's quarterback was confined to throwing quick passes to receivers on short routes last weekend. If the Lions go down early as expected, will Babin have the opportunity or talent to get his team back in the game? Big Plays: Southeastern Louisiana showed it can create turnovers with four interceptions last week. It also showed vulnerability by giving up both a 55-yard touchdown run and a 57-yard touchdown reception. How will the Lions prevent the explosive Jayhawk receivers from doing the same?

University scientists have received a grant to give cell phones to young "My daily schedule can be pretty hectic, but I have learned how to manage my time, which is one of the most important things." Zarate said. "A lot of people tell me, 'I couldn't do it,' but the truth is they could do it if they had no choice. All of us are dealt a different hand, and how we manage it makes us who we are." mothers to put them in constant contact with parenting coaches. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC Foundation and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation have given $1.6 million to senior scientist Judith Carta and her team to study the how effective the cell phones will be in curbing mistreatment of children over the next four years. The cell phones will work as an extension of Planned Activities Training, a program designed to instruct mothers at high risk for child neglection. The program is supposed to reduce children's challenging behavior by giving parents knowledge and skills needed to help their children through daily routines such as eating breakfast and getting dressed. Carta and her colleagues will give the cell phones to young, single, low-income mothers in the Kansas City area who are already participating in parenting programs. Young, first-time parents have many competing priorities that make involvement in a parenting program a lower one, Carta said. "Cell phones give us a way to stay in touch with them, keep them engaged and remember the parenting skills they are learning in the intervention, and get ideas for how they can apply those skills in their daily routines with their children," Carta said. Planned Activities Training is based on home visits by parenting coaches. A recent study, also performed by Carta, showed that nearly 50 percent of home meetings had to be re-scheduled because of mothers' hectic schedules. When cell phones were given to the mothers, meetings occurred as scheduled about 95 percent of the time. The cell phones and call plans, donated by AT&T, will allow parenting coaches to send daily text messages suggesting a planned activity, giving appointment reminders and making general checkups. The previous study showed that preliminary use of the cell phones with single mothers had helped to detect and prevent maltreatment. On one occasion when a researcher called an adolescent mother to check on her baby, the mother said her baby was "extra good" because he had not needed feeding or diaper changes and had been sleeping for 24 hours. But the researcher told her she should take the baby to the hospital and used the cell phone to guide the mother and baby to the emergency room. The baby was treated and saved but had almost died from dehydration. Another case of maltreatment found by a researcher involved a teen who reported that her child had slept under a sink while the baby's grandmother cared for other children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, maltreatment during the early stages of childhood can cause physical, mental, and emotional problems such as sleep disturbances, panic disorder and attention-deficit disorder. More than 2 million cases of child maltreatment are reported each year in the U.S. Andrea Zarate, Bonner Springs senior and mother of a two-year-old boy, said she thought the cell phone program would be a good idea. While Zarate is not a single mother, she is still very busy.

At the Center for Service Learning, students participate in group activities that examine various problems in communities. Students work to help solve those problems by doing a variety of tasks, including going on alternative breaks or becoming a volunteer. To become certified, students must enroll in a corresponding service learning class, complete a series of directed readings, complete an independent project and submit a reflection that explains what they learned. Students can also become certified in service learning.

That's what ceramics is all about. "I started working with ceramics in high school, and as soon as I began, I knew that ceramics was my medium," Edwards said. fire." This allows you to glaze the pot next, and then put it into a "glaze fire." Now the art is finished. Making a ceramic piece can take anywhere from a week to a week and a half, depending on how long you let the clay dry. The first step is to throw the clay on the pottery wheel and mold your piece. Then it needs to be set out to dry. It takes a few days to become "bone dry," dry enough to move to the fire stage. Sara Edwards, Mandeville, La., junior and Ceramics Club vice president, said she enjoyed using clay to bring out her creative side. "Ceramic art includes all forms of art made out of clay," she said. Edwards said about 15 members attended the meetings regularly. The club meets on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. for about an hour, and the club is open to anyone interested. The goal of the club is to get students interested in enrolling in ceramics classes. Each meeting consists of talking about upcoming events, such as the Ceramics Symposium at the Lawrence Arts Next, the pot moves into a "bisque Center during fall break. Other events include the National Conference on Education in Ceramic Arts, in Pittsburgh in March, and a sale of student art just before winter break.

Mark Dent ODD NEWS ODD NEWS Man loses clothes, flees after blundered burglary DULUTH, Minn. — A man who allegedly tried to burglarize a home lost his clothes in a scuffle with the 69-year-old homeowner and then tried to streak away before he was arrested. Wayne and Katie Boniface returned home from dinner Thursday night at a neighbor's to find the man in their house. Wayne Boniface said the man made the mistake of grabbing his wife. First, Boniface said, he ripped the man's shirt off. Then, "his head was down over the railing, and in today's world, pants are worn fairly loose. I pulled his pants, and his pants and underpants and shoes came completely off. He was completely nude." "As soon as he grabbed my wife, I had him in the kitchen wrestling him to the ground in a headlock and arm-lock." Boniface said. When police asked Bonafice he could identify the suspect, he said: "Oh, yeah. I believe he's OAKLAND.

The Collegiate Veterans Association, KU Young Democrats and KU College Republicans will host the "Vigil for the Fallen" on Wescoe Beach from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Felix Zacharias, Wichita junior and vice president of the University's Collegiate Veteran's Association, said it was essential for the three political groups to join in such a non-political way. Zacharias said the event would focus on those who lost their lives on Sept. 11 and on the troops who served the country. Julia Groeblacher, McPherson sophomore and KU Young Democrats president, said event should send the message that Sept. 11 was removed from politics. "It was a powerful event for our country," Groeblacher said. "We need to remember what happened and that we're all Americans." Trumpets and a drum corps will provide patriotic music to welcome people as they arrive. Elected officials and campus figures have been invited to speak at the ceremony, Groebblacher said Rep. Paul Davis (D-Lawrence), and Sen. Marci Francisco (D-Lawrence) would be at the vigil after the opening songs. U.S. Rep. Nancy Boyda (D-Kan.), Attorney General Paul Morrison and Lt. Gov. Mark Parkinson responded and staff members would be at the event if they couldn't make it. Groebblacher said Chancellor Robert Hemenway had been invited, as well. The event will have a moment of silence toward the end, followed by a reading of the names of Sept. 11 attack victims from Kansas and soldiers from Kansas who have died fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. An open mic will be available to anyone who wants to speak. Zacharias said he hoped students remembered when they spoke that it was not a political event but a time to honor those who had lost their lives. "This is exactly opposite of a protest," Zacharias said. "It's an emotional get-together for these veterans." The event will end with a candle lighting and a flag folding ceremony. Guests are encouraged to leave in silence. This is the Collegiate Veterans Association's second year on campus, Josh Goetting, Leavenworth law student, is a member of the Collegiate Veterans Association and president of KU College Republicans. Goetting said the vigil was a good way for the group to make a transition onto campus. He said the group had been working on the memorial service since the beginning of the semester. Zacharias said this event was important to young veterans on campus. He said that when veterans returned home, they were offered both psychological and physical therapy, but that a gathering similar to tonight's event hadn't been done before at the University. Kate Mallula, Overland Park junior, said she thought the gathering of the three groups symbolized the way the tragic event affected the nation as a whole. "It really shaped the way we understand ourselves as Americans;" Mullala said. "It affected all of us, no matter what age, ethnicity, or political party" Students are encouraged to bring candles to tonight's vigil and arrive at Wescoe Beach a little before 11 p.m. For more information, students may contact Felix Zacharias at (316) 304-8334. MISSING PERSON Edited by Chris Beattie Police find body in canyon BY PAUL FOY ASSOCIATED PRESS PROVO, Utah — A woman's body found in a canyon Sunday was believed to be a Brigham Young University student missing for more than a week, authorities said, and it appeared that she fell to her death. Canille Cleverley, 22, has been rossing since Aug. 30. A body matching the description of the blonde, blue-eyed woman was found at the base of a 200-foot cliff east of Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon, said 14. Yvette Rice of the Utah County Sheriff's Department. The body was being carried down from the canyon Sunday evening. An autopsy would be conducted to confirm the woman was Cleverley. Provo police Capt. Cliff Argyle said the woman's body had injuries consistent with a fall, but it was too early to rule out foul play. "How she ended up there, were not sure," Argyle said. Authorities had been searching mountain trails and the Provo River for Cleverly, believing she may have parked her bike and hiked one of the many trails leading into the Wasatch Mountains. A bicycle believed to be hers was stolen from a bike rack near the popular hiking spot last Sunday and turned over to police. Search and rescue crews and hundreds of volunteers then focused on areas around the 607-foot waterfall. Searchers spotted the body Sunday afternoon, and Rice said the clothing matched the description Cleverley's family had given investigators. Cleverley was scheduled to start her senior year on Sept. 4. Provo, home to BYU, is about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. HAVE YOU SEEN ME?? on June Wednesday, August 29 in Provo, UT CANLIE GLEVERLEY ASSOCIATED PRESS Students walk across the campus of Brigham Young University near a flyer that includes a photo of missing BYU student Camille Cleverley in Provo, Utah, Wednesday. Volunteers searched rocks, brush and uneven terrain Wednesday in Provo Canyon for any sign of the 22-year-old Boise, Idaho native missing for nearly a week. 》 MISSING PERSON Debris confuses in search for Fossett BY MARTIN GRIFFITH ASSOCIATED PRESS RENO, Nev. — Rescue crews searching for famed millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett stumbled upon more false leads Sunday when they discovered more plane wreckage — but didn't find the missing aviator or his plane. "Once again, you had your hopes raised and dashed, just as we have," Nevada Civil Air Patrol Maj. Cynthia Ryan told reporters during a news conference. Rescue crews spotted two old wrecks, one of them from a U.S. Navy plane, southeast of the private ranch where Fossett was staying 80 miles southeast of Reno when he took off Monday for what was supposed to be a three-hour flight. The false alarm further dampened spirits of the rescuers, whose chances of finding the 63-year-old Fossett alive in the rugged, concealing land- escape of western Nevada are becoming more and more slim. "The mood is very somber but very focused," Lyon County Undersheriff Ioe Santford said. At least eight times during the search, rescue crews have spotted airplane wreckage they thought might be Fossett's only to learn it was from crashes years and sometimes decades ago. To some, that is an ominous sign of how hard it will be to find the aviator. "That's always a possibility. "That's always a possibility — that he may never be found," Lyon County Undersheriff Joe Sanford said. "But I'd like to believe that with our state-of-the-art technology, the chances of finding him are much better." Fossett, a former commodities trader who was the first to circle the globe in a balloon, is considered an expert pilot and survivalist. Search teams have tried to remain optimistic but acknowledged the futility was beginning to take a toll. "It's not frustrating, but tiring," Nevada National Guard Capt. April Conway said. Leaders of the search-and-rescue operation have tried to put the best face on the discoveries of previously unknown crash sites. At the very least, they say, the finds have demonstrated that crews can indeed spot small planes from the air. The search has spread across an area of roughly 17,000 square miles, about twice the size of New Jersey. Crews will continue combing sections of that vast landscape, but on Sunday they began focusing on a section of the territory within 50 miles of the ranch. Most crashes occur within that radius during takeoffs or landings, Ryan said. "We've got close to 100 percent covered, at least in some cursory fashion," Ryan said. "We have to eliminate a lot of territory."

SMITH O h the wandering mind, with its daydreams, nightmares. reminiscences and ponderings, taking us through imagined kingdoms, into dens of inequity, antiquity and occasionally depravity; how often it seems to grab and tear the innocent brainowner away from firm reality to wonder about the effectiveness of the pogo-stick as a getaway vehicle or the attractiveness of Miss Piggy as a paramour. We think about our past excursions into uncharted waters; the first kiss, the first time behind the wheel, the first auto accident, the first time dad took the keys away and told us to get glasses or we'd never drive again. All of these thoughts flooding through in salience to drown out prosperous activity. They keep us from moving the economy forward, slow down our out-production of the competitor, and make it so the opposition can get the upper hand and out-quaff us at every imprudent juncture. But isn't daydreaming fun? It's almost as if it were built into us to calm us and help us get through the day besought with toil, argument, war, zealotry, high taxes and the constant discomfort brought on by the terror alert system. It all starts in youth, of course. As little boys and girls we play princess and soldier, or cops and robbers. I recall a time when my life's ambition was to replace Superman when he retired (with the back-up plan of becoming a payload specialist on the space shuttle Pathfinder). No memories stick out more about childhood then the endless games of make believe. Sunny days were always spent running between neighborhood houses, ducking behind junior bushes, using sticks as pistols and bath towels from mom's linen closet in substitute of cape and cowl. Little brothers were always the villains or the ones who had to play dead. Little sisters were either the damsels in distress or the evil dragon queens. Growing up, it gets harder to play at anything. After age 12 people begin to expect you to "know better" and "act your age." Imaginary friends are discouraged, then ignored, then erased with monthly checks to the children's psychiatrist. Growing up means growing out of certain delicacies. Cap'n Crunch and fruit cups are replaced by colon-friendly Oat Bran and heart friendly Oat n' Honey granola bars. Why is it after a certain birthday we feel a need to subsist on horse food? But children seem to have more on us. They seem happier much more of the time. The back seats of cars across America only seem to know tears when knees are scabbed or ice cream is deliberately withheld as punishment for churlishness. Five-year-olds don't complain about missed deadlines. They splash in the spilled milk instead of gripe about cleaning it up. They are not concerned with eco-friendly cars or biodegradable underwear. What's a carbon foot print? Children don't know or care. All they want is to smile and laugh as often as possible. There is nothing larger to them than family and friends, nothing more important than the moments in which they live. Kids don't plan and it never proves an obstacle to them. The wondering minds are carefree things. We, the adults, seem to discourage them so much amongst ourselves that we darken others. We are zombies, working hard to solve the world's problems through action, invention and discovery. We worry so much about tomorrow while outside our children play in the sunshine that is slowly giving them skin cancer, splashing in puddles of bacteria-infested water that might lure mosquitoes carrying the deadly West Nile virus. Do they seem petrified with fear? I guess growing up is a curse all around. Ignorance truly does seem blissful when watching children at play. With the wisdom of age comes nothing but headaches, backaches, heartaches and the increased risk of unwanted pregnancy, venereal disease, and ending up in a meaningless job that drives you up the wall until one day you snap and nearly give Jeanie in accounting a heart attack. Stay loose, kids, Tag! You're it. GARDENING TIPS Smith is a Rose Hill graduate student in English. Economic troubles affect everyone Price increases are not only difficult for minority groups BOSTON, MA BRANDON T. MINSTER I ride the bus. Not as regularly as I once did, when I rode it to work and back every day, but still at least four times a week I'm among the great unwashed (some literally so). So I took notice when Lawrence Transit decided to raise its fares. The price of a bus ride has gone up one quarter, and at the end of the year it will go up another quarter. What's the big deal, right? The quarter is the new nickel. The days of buying something for a quarter and getting change are long gone. When I first heard about the fare increase, my sense of outrage was less than stoked. I had been angrier about a game of "Wheel of Fortune" than I was about this. ("She already guessed T! Weren't you listening?" It turned out, I was just looking at it wrong. When I began to realize the eventual fare would be double the original fare, well, that seemed like it could very well be the largest fee increase in government history. What if the cost of everything doubled? I'd have much less spending power. Some estimates indicate I'd have perhaps half as much. Half as much spending power would mean half as many Swedish Fish and Vernor's ginger ale. And, suddenly, there was the missing outrage. Fortunately, I wasn't alone. It seems every fee increase in America can now be painted as an effort of stick it to the little guy. Evidently every government budget is being "balanced on the backs of the poor." It's not just the poor who are getting shafted. Women, minorities and children are all feeling the brunt of mathematics, too. A quick search with that staple of serious research, Google, indicates people across the country are currently painting everything from drug enforcement to building contracts as an attempt to harm women, minorities and children. I could feel the indignation welling up inside my bowels. I went to the restroom and checked my drawers. Yep, it was only indignation. I hadn't been this angry since last spring when Jimmy John's raised the price of all their sandwiches by 26 cents. That's an eight percent increase on the price of the slim. My kids always ate the slim. It turns out Jimmy John's was balancing their budget on the backs of my kids. "What do you guys think about the higher prices at Jimmy John's?" I asked my kids. "What Jimmy John's is?" my son asked. my daughter asked. "Is it that place where they give you cards while you wait?" "A sandwich shop." "No, that's Yello Sub." "Let's eat there," she said. So there you have it. My kids are so angry about the higher prices at Jimmy John's that they won't even eat there anymore. And I'm so angry about the bus fare increase that I'm shopping for bicycles now. Yet there are important questions that remain unanswered, such as, "How long has Jimmy John's had it out for women, minorities and children? And why are there so many onions in the tuna salad sandwich? Seriously, it's like I'm eating an onion that had been raised on a slight diet of tuna." Jimmy John's has supplied no answers (mainly because I haven't actually asked anyone associated with Jimmy John's), and the silence speaks volumes. (I had a concerned look on my face when I typed that last bit.) Minster is a Lawrence senior in economics. DRAWING BOARD SIR, I NEED YOU TO SIGN SOME... SIR? IS SOMETHING WRONG? I BROKE MY GI JOE.

MAX RINKI LETTER TO THE EDITOR Study group at the Dole Institute encourages civic engagement Dear Editors. Now, more than ever before college students and recent graduates are volunteering their time and service in record numbers. Last year, Teach for America announced that applications for the program had increased 20% since 2000 and in 2005, the Peace Corps had their highest number of volunteers in 30 years. Unfortunately, this trend has not spilled over to civic engagement. During the 2006 midterm elections, only 23% of Kansans ages 18 to 29 voted. I think more college students would be willing to donate their time and energy to the political process - if they only knew how to get involved. Jennifer Schmidt, the fall Republican fellow for the Dole Institute of Politics, may have the answer. Her study group, exploring the role of women in politics and their career stories, offers solutions for all people looking for a way to get involved. Each Wednesday, her group will feature female guests willing to share their stories and answer questions about how they became involved in the political process. The sessions offer students a one of a kind chance to make contacts and learn how to become involved in the process. For anyone wanting to get more involved in politics, these groups are an opportunity that should not be missed.

The athletic department has instated a reward points system to attract more students to sporting events aside from football and men's basketball. BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com A new athletics department program will reward students for attending varsity sports events other than football and men's basketball games. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN The free Rock Chalk Rewards program allows students to accrue points by attending regular-season home events. Students will earn one point for each Kansas soccer, volleyball, baseball or softball event and two points for each women's basketball game they attend. Rock Chalk Reward points can also be earned at select cross country, golf, rowing, swimming and diving, tennis and track and field events. "I go to those sports on occasion," Richie Welton, Topeka, sophomore, said. "But if there was incentive, I would probably go to more." Students who purchased the All-Sports Combo for football and men's basketball will receive two Rock Chalk Rewards points. Admission to all other sports events is free to KU students with a valid KUID. "What we want to do is encourage KU students to attend other sports besides football and men's basketball," associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said. "We are very interested in increasing student involvement in women's basketball and what we call the Olympic sports." The Athletic Department ran a trial points program a couple years ago with women's basketball. This is the first time they have implemented a program across several sports. Registration to the Rock Chalk Rewards program is free. Students can sign up at any upcoming home soccer or volleyball match, or by visiting the marketing office in 227 Allen Fieldhouse. Upon registration for the program, students will receive a free key tag to carry on their keychains and scan at each event to record their attendance. Ry Roth, Larned sophomore, said he occasionally attended volleyball games, but he might go to more games with the new point system. "I think it will get students to support more teams," Roth said. "But I won't watch swimming because of it." More than 3,000 students have signed up for the program. Marchiony said he hoped this would raise attendance to smaller sports. Andrew Steinberg, assistant athletic director for marketing, said periodic updates would be sent via e-mail to students informing them of their point totals and which level they have attained. The All-Big 12 drawing for the conference basketball tournaments will take place during the Feb. 27 women's basketball game against Texas. The All-American drawing for the airline tickets will be held during the April 29 softball game against Oklahoma, and the National Champion drawing for the television will take place May 2 during the baseball game against Oklahoma. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Rock Chalk Rewards There are six point levels in the rewards program. Students will receive a gift upon reaching each level.

The students study problems within communities and use what they learn from their classes to try to fix them. Andrew Wacker/KANSAN BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com Students who want to become more involved in the community can earn college credit for their efforts. In correlation with the Center for Service Learning, faculty and students participate in group activities that examine problems in communities. Students then work to help solve those problems by doing a variety of tasks, going on alternative breaks or becoming a volunteer. Students can also become certified in service learning. To become certified, students must complete four tasks. First, they must enroll in a corresponding service learning class from a variety of subjects, including history and sociology. Students must then complete a series of directed readings of articles or book chapters. Third, they must complete an independent project, which could range from taking another service learning class to being a volunteer in the community or going on an alternative break. The students must then submit a reflectc tion piece that explains what they learned about the problems in the community and how those findings might apply to other community problems. Danielle Strauber, Centennial, Colo., senor, is certified in service learning. She has done volunteer work for the Humane Society and United Way. Strauber went to the South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind in Spartanburg, S.C., and worked one-on-one with children, helping them learn Braille. "It was really kreat." she said. T. J. Trum, Stillwell senior, is also certified in service learning. A double major in political science and psychology, Trum became interested in the program following his internship in Washington D.C. Strum later incorporated some of the things he learned back home. In Stillwell, he worked in a therapeutic writing center and helped teach religious studies. "I think that's when the most learning occurs, when people interact," Trum said. Trum said that one benefit of being certified was that he learned from the experiences of others. "I can take the messages that they learned and taught me, and then apply that to my own work, and I hope I can do the same for them," he said. "It's like the old ethic: You can take what you learn and apply it in all fields." Ryan Casey works at the CSL and is a volunteer in the AmeriCorps Volunteers in Service to America, or VISTA, program. VISTA is a one-year commitment where members work to address community needs, like improving health care services and creating new businesses. Casey, a native of North Attleboro, Mass., is in his third week in the program. Prior to joining AmeriCorps, he worked as a research associate for a health care investment bank in Boston. "While I greatly enjoyed my time there, I wanted to live and serve outside of the Northeast for a while," he said. Casey said this year's goal was to have 200 students certified in service learning, which would be 50 more than last year. "Students not only gain an enhanced appreciation for their course material and civic involvement, they also gain a valuable addition to their transcript, useful during the all-important first job interview and/or graduate school application," Casey said.

S. RANJAN 1 BY RUSTIN DODD KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST RDOD@KANSAN.COM It was almost as if Ron Burgundy and the Channel 4 news team were narrating this game. "Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean that really got out of hand fast." By the time Aqib Talib cradled in a 36-yard touchdown pass, giving Kansas a 22-0 lead with 8:29 left in the 2nd quarter, the students had already begun making their post-game plans, and Jayhawk fans turned their attention to the next cupcake on the menu — err uh game on the schedule. It wasn't that Kansas dominated a grossly undermanned Southeastern Louisiana team. It was that they didn't even break a sweat. Excuse me, Coach Mangino. What have you done with the real Kansas football program? Kansas football teams don't put up consecutive 50 point games. In fact, they never have in 118 years, the entire history of the program. Well you can scratch that stat off the "Kansas never has" list after the lajahawks out-scored Central Michigan and Southeastern Louisiana 112 to seven the first two weeks. Kansas teams don't shut people out — at least not often. Kansas's last shut-out came in a 42-0 victory over Southern Illinois in 2000. Kansas football teams don't out gain teams 501 yards to 75 yards in total offense, even if they are playing "The Little Sisters of the Poor." It's almost as if Extreme Makeover: College Football Edition rolled into town and transformed Kansas from stale underachievers to motivated gridiron poets. "Last year we came so close to being 11-1," he said. Should we have seen this coming? junior wide receiver Marcus Herford thinks so. You know what? He's right. If you take away the overtime losses against Toledo and Nebraska, the fourth quarter collapses against Texas A&M and Baylor, and the Adarius Bowman game against Oklahoma State, Kansas is looking at an 11-1 season and a trip to the Big 12 championship. There's an old saying that coaches tend to use that says, "When you win, things are never as good as they seem, and when you lose, things are never as bad as they seem" Instead, Kansas finished 6-6 and stayed at home for the holidays. So things do need to be kept in perspective, and we won't know how good this team is until they travel to Kansas State on Oct. 6, but I would suggest one thing. If you want to hop on the bandwagon, you better buy a ticket quickly, because Kansas football is about to explode. Toledo is up next on the schedule, and if you believe in the transitive property of college football, things could get ugly quickly for Toledo. Central Michigan, fresh off a 52-7 loss at the hands of Kansas, rolled over Toledo 52-31 on Saturday at home. Following the Toledo game, Kansas welcomes a Florida International team that is sitting at the poll position of ESPN's college football Bottom 10 rankings. Yikes. But if you think that four blow-out wins is going to make this team complacent going into the Kansas State game, you haven't talked to Aqib Talit. Edited by Chris Beattie "Week in and week out, we're preparing the same way," Talib said. "We're meeting the same way, so it's not going to be hard to keep that edge." So Kansas football is relevant again, and you know what, it's fun. But if you want to take the next few weeks off and watch some pennant race baseball or focus on fantasy football, you won't miss much. Just make sure to be there in Manhattan on Oct. 6. Special teams strike first as'Hawks dismantle Lions BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com For nearly seven minutes, Kansas didn't dominate Southeastern Louisiana. For the remainder of Saturday's 62.0 victory, the Jayhawks ran roughshod over the Lions. "I'm pleased with all three phases of the game," coach Mark Mangino said. "We stopped the run, we played the pass well, our special teams were sharp and our return and coverage teams were good. PAT's, field goals — all of it." KU But it took a few minutes into the game for the Jayhawks' gear to start turning. When Kansas took over on offense for the first time with 13:32 to play in the first quarter, it gained 12 yards and a new set of downs on its first play from scrimmage. A quick touchdown drive seemed inevitable, but Kansas only gained seven yards on the next three plays and punted the ball after burning only two minutes off of the game clock. The next time the Jayhawks had the ball, sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing forced another punt when he badly overthrew freshman wide receiver Tertavian Overgrath. Five minutes into the game, the favorite had not yet begun dismantling the underdog and the crowd of 43,912 grew restless. SPECIAL TEAMS SCORE FIRST The Lions managed to keep their heads above water for the first quarter's first half, but it took just 11 seconds for the Jayhawks to assert their dominance with nine quick points — all scored on special teams plays. The collapse happened with about 6:30 remaining on the clock in the first quarter. Southeastern Louisiana prepared to punt from its own 28-yard line after hanging in the game early and ceding only two first downs on Kansas' first two possessions. Junior long snapper Kyle Tutor launched the snap over the outstretched arms of junior punter Cody Samples. By the time Samples caught up to the errant ball, it was bouncing out of the end zone for a safety. Kansas junior wide receiver Marcus Herford then returned the ensuing free kick 74 yards for a touchdown. Herford's teammates provided several good blocks, leaving Herford streaking down the east sideline with just one Lion to beat — freshman kicker Danny Hrapmann. Herford slowed his stride at the 20-yard line, then blew by the kicker on his way to the first kick-return touchdown of his career. "I knew I had to score because, if I didn't, I knew my teammates were going to let me have it," Herford said. "I was just excited to finally get into the end zone and help our team get extra points on the board." A SPARKED OFFENSE With a bit of momentum in tow, the Kansas offense came alive.

A visibly angry coach Mark Francis talked to his players in a tight circle after the game, and the players walked away with distraught faces. "We're definitely off to a rough start," sophomore midfielder Monica Dolinsky said. The Jayhawks wore their white jerseys during the game, while the Mustangs sported blue. The blue-outfitted players seemed to be all over the field at all the right times, which made both halves unfortunate for Kansas. Dolinsky said the team was creating opportunities but not finishing plays. In addition to being unfortunate, the Jayhawks were also unlucky. Though the Jayhawks more than doubled the Mustangs in shot attempts, they never scored.

Reeing failed to improve on his impressive season opener but still tallied an efficient 257 yards on 13-of-23 passing. "I didn't think it was my personal best performance," Reesing said. "I didn't think I was real crisp throwing the ball tonight and a lot of passes didn't come off of my hand really well. That happens, and luckily we were able to do a great job defensively." SHUT-OUT DEFENSE The Kansas defense did not exactly have its hands full with a Southeastern Louisiana offense that struggled earlier this season against New Mexico State, which finished near the bottom of the Western Athletic Conference in 2006. Despite the relative weakness of Kansas' opponent, the stifling defensive performance drew plenty of praise from Mangino. "I'm especially pleased with the defense," Mangino said. "I thought the defense was really impressive. We stopped the run, played the pass well and gave us great field position the whole night." Impressive could be a bit of an understatement. The Lions managed only eight first downs and 75 total yards. Southeastern Louisiana's run game — the strength of its offense — totaled negative 31 yards on 29 carries. The Lions' offensive line looked overmatched on nearly every snap as Kansas senior defensive tackle James McClinton made five tackles, three of which resulted in lost yardage, and one sack. BLITZED When the defense stymied Southeastern Louisiana, the offense did not have too much trouble finding the end zone. Despite the Lions' aggressive defensive scheme, Kansas put together more than 500 yards of total offense for the second straight game. Mangino said it was hard for Kansas to get a feel for Southeastern Louisiana's blitzes early in the game, but he said Reeing did a good job making adjustments as the game progressed. "It was a blitz-fest out there. They blitzed on every single down, just about," Mangino said. "It's been a long, long time since I coached in a game where a team blitzed as much as they did." his pass-blocking abilities. He finished the game with 60 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. Sharp played for most of the third quarter and totaled 32 yards and one rushing touchdown on only eight carriers. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson saw the majority of the playing time on Saturday because of Kansas' top two running backs combined for only 19 carries, which reinforced the strength of the defense and special teams. Handed a 9-0 lead that was never in question, the offense enjoyed a pressure-free evening. "After getting some three-and-outs on offense, the special teams plays really helped us," senior wide receiver Marcus Henry said. "Getting points on special teams gave us more of a push - we just wanted to score more." Score more was what the Kansas offense did. The 62-point outburst is the most any Kansas team has scored since 1994. In fact, Kansas had never scored more than 50 points in back-to-back games before this season. Though Kansas faced a lower-division opponent on Saturday, the Jayhawks played well enough to beat most any team.

It was the University's 60th Annual Band Day. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Y THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10.2007 KU 62-SLU 0 5B Linemen answer Mangino's call KU 86 SOUTHEASTERN 2 Marcus Henry, senior wide receiver, charges past Southeastern Louisiana junior defensive back Eric Jackson. Henry pulled in five catches and totaled almost 120 yards Saturday evening at Memorial Stadium. BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he was looking for improved play from the defensive line in the week leading up to his team's game against Southeastern Louisiana. After the Jayhawks pounded the Lions 62-0, players from Southeastern Louisiana were wondering how the line could get any better. "Number 93, that guy is a great player," Lions quarterback Brian Babin said. "We've got a great offensive line but they out-athleted us. There's only so much you can do." Babin was talking about senior defensive tackle and team captain James McClinton. Babin would know better than anyone just how good of a night McClinton had, because most of the lineman's success was at the quarterback's expense. On the first play from the line of scrimmage, McClinton exploded through the middle of the offensive line for a quarterback hurry. The next play he drove freshman guard Caleb Simmons back several vards. Not much would change for the rest of the night. McClinton and his defensive line cohorts found a home in the Southeastern Louisiana backfield, disrupting anything its offense tried to do. KU 12 "I thought our defensive line wasn't so much just overpowering them," Mangino said. "But our defensive line got off the ball and did a good job in the run game." But the Lions kept trying to get the ball into junior running back Jay Lucas' hands through screen passes. That strategy didn't work so well, either. Lucas finished the game with eight receptions but only 20 receiving yards. McClinton and sophomore defensive tackle Caleb Blakesley's penetration early in the game made it clear that the Lions rushing attack was not going to be a factor. At halftime, Southeastern Louisiana running backs had 14 carries for 22 yards. Most of those plays resulted in negative yards. That's because the Jayhawks defensive linemen stuck to their assignments and were right on top of the short passes to Lucas. Sophomore defensive end Max Onyegbule and freshman defensive end Jake Laptad were among those who planted Lucas in the backfield after a reception. "That gave the young bucks some confidence and got them ready for the Big 12," McClinton said. On the next play, McClinton twisted to the left side of the offensive line and sacked Babin. It was McClinton's first sack of the year and a huge play for the Kansas defense. only 9-0, and Southeastern Louisiana reached the Kansas 44-yard line on a third-down conversion with less than five minutes remaining in the first quarter. McClinton and the youngsters stopped any possible momentum the Lions could muster up. The score was "Thank the Lord, I finally got a sack," McClinton said. "I'm on the board; we missed my sack last game." Laptad followed the sack with a big play of his own. Lucas caught a short shovel pass and was immediately met with a textbook tackle. Led by the defensive linemen, Kansas tallied 20 tackles for losses and four sacks in the game. "Kansas is very good in the front four," Southeastern Louisiana coach Mike Lucas said. "They are very sound defensively." Most of the Jayhawks' defensive players said the most important thing was coming out of the game with a shut-out. And the defensive linemen are to thank for that zero Andrew Wacker/KANSAN John Larson, junior defensive end, stops a Lion ball carrier in the second quarter of Saturday night's game. The Kansas defensive line repeatedly disrupted the Southeastern Louisiana offense. that lit up the Memorial Stadium scoreboard. View from press row It was over when... Game ball goes to... Senior defensive tackle James McClinton. From the first play of Saturday's game, the Southeastern Louisiana offensive line stood as much of a chance against McClinton as a snowman does against the Sahara. McClinton bull rushed, spun and knifed his way through the offensive line repeatedly on his way to three tackles for loss and his first sack of the season. Thanks to McClinton's imposing presence, Lions' sophomore quarterback Brian Babin struggled his way to 89 yards on 30 pass attempts. Junior wide receiver Marcus Herford flew past 11 Southeastern Louisiana players on his way to the end zone and a 9-0 Kansas lead. It took the Jayhawks a few minutes to get on the scoreboard, but once they did the game was sewn up. The Lions never had a legitimate shot at scoring. Herford, an All-Big 12 second team kick returner last season, had never returned a kick for six points before the 74-yard scamper. Game to forget for... Southeastern Louisiana junior running back Jay Lucas. Lucas, a first-team All-Southland Conference selection, ran for 12 yards on nine carries. He got plenty of chances in the passing game as well, catching eight passes but only picking up 20 yards. In all, Lucas gained 32 yards on 17 touches. Stat of the game... Seventy-five. Southeastern Louisiana scraped together a measly 75 yards of total offence. The figure is the eighth-lowest ever yielded by Kansas and the least since 1992 when Kansas State gained 69 yards. The Lions' most costly folly was a botched long snap that resulted in a safety and a loss of 28 yards. Edited by Matt Erickson 35 Game leaves marks in stat book Asher Fusco BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com RECORD BOOK Kansas made some significant renovations to the all-time record book on Saturday night. Brandon McAnderson, senior running back, shakes off Lion defenders as he bolts down the field. McAnderson ran for 60 yards Saturday, contributing the most vardage to the team's 221 rushing yards. The 62-point margin of victory was the team's largest since 1994, when the fayhawks defeated UAB by 72 points. -62 points is the fourth-largest margin of victory Kansas has ever posted. For the first time in the history of the program, the Jayhawks have scored more than 50 points in consecutive outings. Southeastern Louisiana's negative 31 rushing yards is the second fewest Kansas has ever allowed. Andrew Wacker/KANSAN —Kansas had not shut out an opponent since blanking Southern Illinois seven years ago. TIME FOR RESERVES The Kansas reserves saw plenty of action on Saturday. The secondstringers entered the game with just more than five minutes remaining in the third quarter and stayed in for the duration. Kerry Meier looked sharp for the second game in a row, completing a 23-yard touchdown pass and breaking loose for a 44-yard run. Jake Sharp, who did not see much early-game action, rushed for 32 yards and two touchdowns. Other notable subs included freshman Carmon Boyd-Anderson, who gained 54 yards on 13 carries and scored his first career touchdown, and sophomore linebacker Maxwell Onyegbule, who made four tackles and a sack that resulted in a safety. PERFECTVS.FCS The victory improved Kansas coach Mark Mangino's record against FCS opponents to 5-0. Mangino has scheduled and defeated an FCS team in five of his six years as Kansas head coach. This is the second-consecutive year Kansas has squared off against a team from the Southland Conference; last year Kansas opened the season with a 49-18 victory against Northwestern State. The announced attendance was 43,914 but by the end of the third quarter much of the crowd had departed. Last year Kansas' second home game of the season, against Louisiana-Monroe, drew a crowd of 45,221. ATTENDANCE KICKERS Senior kicker Scott Webb put together another solid game. Of his 10 kickoffs, Webb only deposited one in the end zone for a touchback but averaged 64.1 yards per kickoff. Webb also converted on all seven of his extra point tries and his only field goal attempt. He has made his last seven field goals dating back to last season. INJURY REPORT Though Southeastern Louisiana suffered a number of injuries, Kansas stayed injury-free for the most part, the notable exception being sophomore defensive end jeff Wheeler, who left the field clutching his arm in the third quarter. Before leaving the game, the reserve defensive lineman Junior cornerback Aqib Talib didn't make any progress toward his goal of 10 interceptions, but he did add another notch to his belt with a notable play on offense. Though he only appeared in a limited capacity at wide receiver, Talib caught a 36-yard touchdown pass from Todd Reesing. Talib blew past junior free safety Travis Williams on a go route and corralled the pass in the end zone for his fourth career reception and third offensive touchdown. collected one tackle.

RadioShack Young team hopes to land first victory BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com 》 GOLF awiebe@kansan.com Powers, last season's secondlowest scorer behind Big 12 Champion Amanda Costner, placed tenth in last year's event. She said that although she wanted to win, the key would be to stay consistent throughout the 54 holes. Annie Giangrosso knows she only has one more year as a collegiate golfer. After a disappointing junior season, a strong start could jump-start her final season as a University of Kansas golfer. "I'm looking to just get off to a good start this year," Gianrosso said. "Last year was a little rough for me. It wasn't really what I had expected, and I didn't play as well as I had hoped." "We are just going to try to build on each tournament and learn from each one since we are so young," O'Neil said. "But we are also very talented. We are excited to see how we do." O'Neil's confidence may be due to the team's youth is offset by years of experience playing in pressure-filled events. Giangrosso, Powers and Gockel all played in all 11 events last season. Giangrosso will compete in team play along with sophomores Emily Powers and Meghan Gockel and freshmen Meghna Bal and Sydney Wilson. Another first-year player, Grace Thiry, will compete individually and will not count toward the team score. Giangrosso will get that chance today as the KU women's golf team travels to Eagle, Neb., to compete in the University of Nebraska's Chip-N-Club Invitational at Woodland Hills Golf Course. The team will play 36 holes today with a final round of 18 to follow tomorrow. Kansas wants to improve on a third-place finish in last year's 14-team field. This year's tournament will include an expanded 18-team field headlined by hosts Nebraska, winners the last four years, Kansas State and Oral Roberts. "I always want to play my best," Powers said. "I want to go out and put up a big score and that's all that I can ask for. Everyone wants to win the tournament, but you just have to be sure to go out and shoot as low as you can each round." LOOKING FOR IMPROVEMENT Though competing with only one senior, head coach Erin O'Neil said she was confident that her young team was ready for the challenge. While Giangrosso, Powers and Gockel have played in 50 tournaments in their college careers. Wilson, Thiry and Bal have yet to play in their first. Despite the lack of college experience, O'Neil believes each is well prepared. "They have a lot of competition under their belts already coming in," O'Neil said. "I just think they are very used to pressure and being in these situations. I think they will handle it wonderfully." PLAYING THROUGH THE HEAT The team's most daunting challenge may be combating the onset of fatigue during today's opening 36 holes. Though the heat would be a factor, Giangrosso said the strength and conditioning work the team had done would allow them to stay strong throughout the day. Even though she acknowledged the difficulty of playing 36 holes in one day, O'Neil said her team should improve after the first round of 18. She attributed the improvement to her team's attitude and resiliency when faced with grueling conditions and long hours on the course. "It's a long day of wear out there from 7 in the morning to 5 or 6 at night," O'Neil said. "That definitely wears on you. We do better in our second 18 because we tend to pull our bootstraps up, dig in and take advantage while everyone else has fallen by the wayside."

Houston Texans defensive end Mario Williams, right, sacks Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Damon Huard, center, during the third quarter of an NFL football game Sunday in Houston. The Texans beat the Chiefs, 20-3. Last year's top pick finally had his breakout game, returning a fumble for a touchdown and finishing with five tackles, including two sacks, to help the Houston Texans to a 20-3 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. "There's so much more," Williams said. "Not just me — as a defense. There's a lot of things we did, and a lot we could do better. Today was just a start. Hopefully, we can keep going that way." It was Houston's first win in an opener since 2003. It's also the first time in franchise history the team has won three games in a row, dating to the end of last year. Fletcher knocked the ball out of Kris Wilson's hands and Williams recovered it. The defensive end got up and rumbled 38 yards for the touchdown. He kept the ball from that play and held onto it long after the game had ended. The Texans led 10-0 when Jamar DeMeco Ryans jumped on Williams to congratulate him after the score. It was a change from last season, when Williams endured endless criticism because the Texans passed on Reggie Bush and Vince Young to get him. Kansas City challenged the ruling of a fumble, but the call was upheld. Asked if a game like this helps take pressure off him, Williams didn't address it. "I don't really feel like I'm under any pressure," he said. "When you look at it, the pressure applied from critics and media and whatever, I'm always behind anyway, I was drafted No. 1, but I was never really whoever else you might try to compare me to." Williams also got a hearty laugh when someone pointed out that he has more touchdowns than Bush this year. "I didn't think about that," Williams said. "There you go." Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, the backup to Michael Vick for three years in Atlanta, had a successful, even if a bit inconsistent, debut for his new team. He was 16-of-22 for 225 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Houston's Andre Johnson caught seven passes for 142 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown grab. SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) shouted words of encouragement to their teammates. With only one goal scored going into the fifth game of the season, the encouragement factor isn't the only thing the team needs. "I challenged all the upperclassmen, and said you know, you guys need to be the ones and tell us where we need to be going. I'm not really sure what they're waiting for," Francis said. SMU tallied up 10 fouls during the 90-minute match, and Kansas totaled only four. Even so, Francis said he didn't think the Mustangs were any more violent than any of the other teams Kansas has played this season. SMU scored its first goal during the first half, and the second during the last seconds of play. SMU's Kristin Medeiros wrestled the ball away from senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn and managed to slip it by her and into the net. Clearly ready to put losing behind them, Kansas is looking forward to its next game on Friday. The Jayhawks will play the Portland Pilots, who are ranked no. 1 in the country, on the road. Francis said the team wouldn't have any pressure during the game, because no one expected the Jayhawks to beat the Pilots. "We chose to do the tough schedule. I think it's going to be good for the team. Hopefully, we'll regroup and bounce back," he said.

But Kansas would go on an eight-to-five run to tie the game at 15, and another Kaiser kill gave Kansas a 16-15 lead. Kansas held onto the lead from there and claimed a 30-24 victory.

"It's definitely something we need to work on going into Big 12 games." Josh McCown, Oak, 313 yds., 2 TDs, 2 Ints Kansas fell behind 6-3 in game one, but the Jayhawks rebounded, and tied the game at 7-7 on a Jenna Kaiser kill. Kansas cruised from there, winning 23 of the next 30 points. Kansas finished off game one on a Mahoney kill assisted by sophomore setter Katie Martincich.

Kansas swept St. Peter's, winning three matches in a row. The game was the first for Kansas as part of the Jayhawk Classic Tournament. Kansas went on to the tournament. Edited by Luke Morris VOLLEYBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) After three games in two days, Kansas' injury report continued to grow. Junior Natalie Uhart missed her fourth consecutive match with an undisclosed injury. Uhart missed all of last season with a knee injury. Coach Ray Bechard said she was day-to-day and the training staff would continue to evaluate her progress. Senior Emily Brown played all weekend on a sore ankle. Freshman Jenna Isaaker played the Morehead State game with a special knee brace, and freshman Melissa Townshend played all weekend with her wrist taped. Two wins on Friday Injuries take a toll Kansas defeated St. Peter's and Wyoming on Friday, a day that included the longest game in Kansas Volleyball history. Wyoming edged Kansas 40-38 in game one of the match on Friday night. Kansas went on to defeat Wyoming 3-2 in five games. NEW OUTPATIENT STUDY for busy adults!

Academically, students get the chance to study topics they may never have the opportunity to on the KU Lawrence campus. It is a mind-expanding and life-altering experience. Just ask anyone who has studied abroad. One of your best resources for information on studying abroad can be a student who has returned from studying abroad. You'll find several experiences related here in this issue. Our Fall Study Abroad Fair is another great opportunity for you to meet with students who have returned from studying abroad. The Study Abroad Fair is this Wednesday, September 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the 4th floor lobby of the Kansas Union. You will have the opportunity to speak with returned students, faculty and OSA staff about studying abroad as well as pick up information on all of KU's study abroad programs. Your next step is to stop by the Office of Study Abroad Resource Library, located in 105 Lippincott Hall. The library, open 9-5, Monday through Friday, is staffed with Peer Advisors who can answer your questions and help you discover your options. They can help you figure out the next step in choosing a program, direct you to information on scholarships, and provide names of Study Abroad alumni who would be happy to talk to you about their experiences. The Peer Advisors are also recent study abroad participants, so they are not only familiar with what KU has to offer but they also remember well what the process was like for them. See you at the Fair. .and remember if you are interested in studying abroad over Winter Break, Spring Break or the Spring semester the deadline for applying is October 1! Sincerely, Natalie Parker Outreach Coordinator Office of Study Abroad P. S. Remember the Office of Study Abroad has opportunities to study abroad in over 50 countries and in more than 25 languages!

They will also receive a certificate from the Office of International Programs. Students who have already completed some or all of the requirements will receive retroactive credit. More than 1000 students have already registered and 224 have already received their certification since the program started in Fall 2004. Fall Office hours: Monday and Wednesday 10am -12 Noon.

Chances are if you are reading this article you are interested in study abroad. You should be. Taking aside the asset of a study abroad experience in helping you present yourself to future employers as a distinguished, more diversified individual, let alone the places and people to which study abroad will introduce you, the opportunity it provides to live and relate to a different culture, not to mention all of the little surprises and unexpected bumps in the pace of life that make time abroad infinitely interesting, if we leave all of those benefits aside one very important aspect still remains. Study abroad will grab and shake the foundations of your being. It will change your perceptions about yourself, the US, the world, human beings and ultimately your perceptions about life. Are you interested now? If you are like I was before I went to study in Japan, you are wondering how can you afford the initially intimidating price tag of a study abroad program. Not to worry, study abroad is more affordable than you might think. Would you be surprised to know that the total expenditures of most year abroad programs are comparable to the total costs of one year at KU (in-state tuition)? Would you also be surprised to find out that there are literally hundreds of scholarship agencies wanting to give you money to study abroad? With a little time and energy you too can be waiting on the tarmac about to fly into a world of unknown without facing a fearful financial meltdown (and if you are really lucky your plane will be on time too). A RICK WINFREY (FAR RIGHT) AND FRIENDS VISIT NAGOVA CASTLE, DURING THEIR YEAR ABOARD AT NANZU IN UNIVERSITY IN JAPAN. I can still remember the exact moment I realized a summer and a year-long program combining for 11 months of study in Japan was possible. It was when I received confirmation I was selected to receive a Boren Scholar National Security Education Program scholarship (NSEP). This scholarship provides up to $20,000 in funding to study a language that is under-represented in US higher education. In return, recipients commit to a year of service utilizing their knowledge of a "critical" foreign language - made possible by an NSEP scholarship - with a US federal government agency within the intelligence community. As I am now starting the job hunt process and looking for a position to fulfill my service requirement I am continuously impressed with the large network of support that exists for NSEP recipients. Not only did NSEP open the door to study in Japan but has also opened a door to a possible career as well. Soon after the NSEP confirmation another, and then another, and then another scholarship confirmation came through. When the dust settled I'd received the Freeman-Asia, bridging Japan and KU Office of Study Abroad scholarships. The Freeman-Asia scholarship is designed for students who currently receive need-based financial aid who plan to study in a country in Southeast and East Asia. Students who receive this scholarship create and implement a service plan to promote study abroad upon their return to their US university. There are region-specific scholarships and general scholarships. I found it was best to apply for the most specific scholarships I could find for Japan, and expand my scholarship applications to include more general scholarships. Most scholarship agencies will screen a successful applicant in three areas: academic history, letters of recommendation, and a statement of purpose. Of course, none of this would be possible without the knowledgeable and amazing staff at the KU Office of Study Abroad. From helping plan budgets to navigating through visa and application forms, my study abroad advisor always made time to answer any questions or concerns I had before leaving. We are truly lucky to have one of America's best study abroad offices here at KU. Do not miss out on this valuable resource! There are few reasons not to study abroad. Alight your anxieties or doubts at the entrance of the Office of Study Abroad in Lippincot Hall and see where in the world you can go. Even if you are mildly interested, one 15 minute meeting with a peer-advisor might just give you the study abroad bug (and could save you from missing out on one of the most significant experiences of your life). Start early. Unlike that 10 page research paper, this is definitely not an experience to procrastinate on.

JAYHAWKS ABROAD FALL 2007 5 THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCE OF SHIPBOARD EDUCATION Lisa Martin studied abroad during the Spring 2007 semester on a student-initiated program through the Semester at Sea Program. In the words of the Archbishop Desmund Tutu, "Just because you were born on third base, doesn't mean you hit a triple." The Archbishop is referring to the fact that just because an individual is born in the United States doesn't mean that they are in any way superior. We did not earn the right to live our lives freely with hundreds of opportunities right at our finger tips... rather, it was handed to us. I was fortunate enough to have circumnavigated the globe with the Archbishop. In just one hundred days the Semester at Sea ship, the MV Explorer, ported in twelve different countries. All but two of those stops were made in third world countries, places like Brazil, India, and Vietnam where most of the population lives on less than one U.S. dollar a day. These are not the typical places that a college student from the U.S. chooses to spend a semester. This isn't your typical study abroad program either. Only on Semester at Sea does your address change from day to day, do you live under the same roof as your professors, and do your professors actually force you to spend more time traveling than studying. Traveling throughout these countries was an eye opening experience; one that has changed my outlook on life and how I am going to pursue my future. Exposing oneself to societies of deep poverty is one of the greatest experiences ever. Semester at Sea and the Institution of Shipboard Education gave me the opportunity of a lifetime, one that I will never forget. I am a very lucky individual and I could not be any more thankful than I am today. Thanks to the Office of Study Abroad, influential programs such as Semester at Sea are made available to each and every student at the University. I owe a huge thank you to my parents who made this study abroad experience possible. Semester at Sea is by far the most amazing thing I will probably ever do in my lifetime, and the best thing that my parents could have ever done for me.

The program takes place in Rome during Spring Break week; however, there will be several meetings before the program. THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME Alysia Higgins studied abroad at the University of Newcastle, Australia as a sophomore in the spring semester of 2007. Studying abroad has had such a positive impact on my life and helped me accomplish goals I never thought possible. I definitely found myself challenged in many aspects of the semester. Once overcoming those challenges it made me feel so much stronger as a person and happy to know that I could do it. Having the opportunity to travel was by far one of my favorite parts of the experience. I feel so lucky to have taken the opportunity to study abroad and meet people from KU and all over the world that I would have never met if I didn't participate in this program. Any negative experiences I came across are now nothing but positive, I consider my trip to be the most incredible experience of my life. Living in Newcastle, Australia for over five months was simply amazing and absolutely gorgeous! Being able to go to the beach every day was something I never dreamt of! One of the best days I had was when a group of students traveled to the Reptile Park, which was my first interaction with kangarooos, koalas and many other Australian animals. It was so cool to be able to feed and touch the animals. I had so many other awesome encounters, a day in the rainforest, a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, visiting the Australia Zoo, a wine tour, trips to Sydney, nights out in Newcastle, Horse Races, visiting other countries such as Fiji and New Zealand, and countless more experiences. The academic scene was so much different than at KU. I was concerned about my grades. Knowing the final would determine everything, I felt very pressured but soon learned fully preparing myself would pay off. I received much better final grades than I had imagined. I rarely had actual homework, but it was expected by the teachers to keep up with the material. Overall I had the time of my life! If I was given the chance to redo my experience I would do it exactly the same. I went into this program with an open mind and came out with so much more knowledge, culture, and friends. Coming back to the States helped me realize the distinct differences CARLINE GRETTY ALYSSA HIGGINS FEEDING A KANGAROO AT THE REPTILE PARK IN GODSFORD. among each country; Australia seems to be very laid back in comparison with the US. I have grown so much as a person, made so many amazing memories, and met such a great group of people who are now my really good friends! GAINING A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE Peter Bollig studied abroad during the Spring 2007 semester in Hong Kong. I was lucky enough to spend a semester on the opposite side of the globe as KU. It's not that I wanted to get away from Lawrence so much as I just wanted to be immersed in a different culture and look at life from a different perspective. Four and a half months in Hong Kong provided just that. To move from a small city in the middle of American heartland to a Chinese metropolis on a tropical island was an enormous change. But I was pleased that it wasn't insurmountable. 我與親成全 PETER BOLLIG IN A HONG KONG RESTAURANT In fact, the supposed "culture shock" I was braced for wasn't that drastic. Sure, all the street signs were in Chinese and the street language was incomprehensible. In fact, many friends from Europe and Australia didn't know any Chinese but got along just fine. Being a part of Hong Kong University and its exchange program was the perfect balance to integrate me into the local culture but still leave me with a sense of independence and adventure. Many of the most memorable experiences of my life took place while I was out of this country. I definitely learned at least as much outside of the classroom on my own in this strange new land, as I did studying this new culture. In a world of ever-increasing globalization, it's becoming more vital to try to have a global perspective. To constrain ones views to ones own hometown or country is limited at best. As students with access to a global education, we are obligated to seek understanding of other peoples and cultures. JAYHAWKS ABROAD 6 FALL 2007 --- THE HARDEST PART IS SAYING GOODBYE! Laura Serbus studied abroad in Bonn, Germany during the 2006-2007 academic year I have spent the 2006-07 academic year studying abroad at the University of Bonn in Germany. Now I am back in Kansas after a wonderful year and I would love to share my experiences of studying abroad with you. I am a German major so my reason for studying abroad was simple: I wanted to learn German in Germany! The Bonn Program begins with a five-week Orientatio, which consists of language instruction and excursions to nearby places of interest. At the end of Orientation I was given advice about which classes to take. I chose to take a number of grammar classes designed for international students, and to attend two lectures at the University. The following semester I was ready to enroll in regular lectures and seminars at the University. I really enjoyed the experience of attending real German classes, although it took me a little while to become accustomed to the German style of teaching. I took mainly literature classes and my advice to future study-abroad participants would be to always complete the assigned reading before class! Doing so enables you to follow so much more of the discussion in class. The city of Bonn is a fantastic place to live and study. It is small enough that getting your bearings doesn't take long, but large enough that there will always be something new for you to do or see. My favorite pastime in Bonn was to meet friends on the "Alten Zoll", an area overlooking the Rhine River with an outdoor café selling pizza, salads and beer. In order to become a real "Bonner", buying a bike is a must! It made getting around that much easier, and Bonn is a very bike-friendly city. I don't remember experiencing too much culture shock when I arrived in Bonn, but there was definitely an initial period of adjustment that comes with any big move. I found it helpful to spend time with other international students going through the same transition, but it is also essential that you make an effort to meet German students. One program that is excellent for doing so is called "Sprachtandem", which connects people looking for language partners. I had two German language partners that I would meet with once a week and talk to in a mixture of German and English. This is a brilliant way to improve your language skills, while also being sociable! The International Office also provides a similar program, as well as an opportunity to volunteer in an elementary school. This is the kind of program that is as fun and as useful as you make it. I had lots of fun interacting with six-year-old German kids! SALOMON So, if you want to experience a different culture, learn another language, make new friends, and achieve more than you previously thought you were capable of, then study abroad! I would definitely recommend studying abroad for a year rather than just a semester if you can. By staying for two semesters I had time to form lasting friendships and really become accustomed to the German way of life. I think the only downside to staying for a year is that it is harder to say goodbye! I absolutely loved hearing the German language around me all the time, and asking for help was always a new experience! During my year abroad I have learned a lot about myself and have changed a little as well. For example, I now have a better understanding of how much change I can handle and which features I really appreciate in a city and university. I also feel a lot less shy than before. Communicating in German with Professors is a challenge, but it is an extremely valuable experience that can only get easier! LAURA SERBUS ON HER LAST DAY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BONN. IT WAS A DREAM OF A SEMESTER Kerala Erdman studied abroad on a student-initiated program to the Santa Reparata International School of Art during the Spring 2007 semester. VENICE KERALA ERDMAN TAKES A GONDOLA RIDE IN VENICE WITH A FRIEND. Studying abroad was the most amazing experience I have had throughout my college career. I am extremely grateful I was able to go and "out-of-staters", listen up! Studying abroad is about the same in expense as your current tuition aside from some extra traveling costs. So although we all love KU, why not jump at the chance to leave Kansas and take advantage of this great option? Even if you are in-state, take the chance, see what's out there, and broaden your horizons. It's not just a corny say; I realize now how important it is to travel, learn, and really explore other countries and their relationship with the U.S. It helps you grow socially, develop marketability for life after graduation, and cultivates a strong source of personal confidence. I was located in Florence, Italy, which as an Art major and Art history minor couldn't have been more ideal. I met all sorts of locals and students, had access to almost every museum and gallery for free, plus tons of great shopping. The culture, food, fashion, nightlife, and history were incredible. My street was loaded with high fashion shops, only a block away from the famous Amo River, and a five-minute walk from the Historical City Center. I couldn't have asked for a better spot and my apartment was beautiful. And let me just say that if none of this has convinced you yet, just go for the food. The pasta dishes, seafood, wine, and gelato are absolutely to die for and don't worry about weight gain because Europeans walk or bike everywhere. I chose to enroll in an independent program, going to Santa Reparata, International School of Art. Going alone, I was slightly anxious about meeting new people and living with five other girls in an apartment I had never even seen. Reflecting back, it was a bold move and I had serious doubts on my judgment by the time I arrived at the airport. However, once in Italy, I met some of the staff, was shown our stunning, expansive apartment, and became acquainted with all my housemates. My roommate ended up being my best friend there and we have still been keeping in touch all summer. All my concerns were quickly erased and it became a purely incredible dream, of a semester. I can't fully describe and impress upon other students how important my semester abroad has become to me. I deeply value all the good, bad, worries, excitement, and growth during that semester. I met so many awesome people, traveled to Spain, Austria, and really got a feel for Italy. I realized how many similarities exist between the United States and the international world and to learn from and appreciate the differences. Traveling will impact your life, motivate, encourage, challenge, and reward you in ways you cannot expect or foresee. I plan to highly involve traveling in my future and continue to learn and explore other people, cultures, and places. I don't regret a thing and I sincerely hope more people take advantage of the study abroad option while achieving their higher educations at KU. FRIENDS ABROAD: THEN AND NOW KU Alum, Adrienne Vogt studied abroad in 2004. She and the friends she met at the University of Wollongong in Australia are still traveling together. I studied at the University of I studied at the University of Wollongong the spring semester of 2004 and met a lot of amazing people many of which I am still friends with today. None of us new each other before Australia even though some of us went to the same universities, that is what is so interesting. I almost think that it was fate that brought this group of friends together because we are all so close. The great thing about this group of friends is that we make it a point to meet up with each other multiple times throughout the year. Since one of our friends live in Kentucky we usually go to the Kentucky Derby. However, this year was different since he was teaching English in Japan. Our group met in February in Scottsdale, Arizona and then just this past month in July we all met in Chicago for a reunion. There are usually 8-10 of us that get THREE YEARS LATR, KU STUDY ABROAD ALUM ADRIENNE VOOGT IS STILL IN TOUCH WITH HER FRIENDS FROM WOLLONGON.

I am so happy that I have found a group of friends that I know I will be close with until I'm in my eighties! JAYHAWKS ABROAD 7 FALL 2007 TAKING A LITTLE BIT OF "HOME" ABROAD Andrew Stark spent the 2006-2007 academic year studying at Obirin University in Tokyo, Japan. 6 Months? A Year?! 5:30 AM. Cold November morning. Going to watch the KU vs. K-State football game. This may seem like the act of an overzealous fan going to get in line for one of the greatest rivalries in college history, but actually, this was me, November of last year in Tokyo, Japan, going to my host campus to get a wireless internet signal. I bought a nifty little box before I left the States last fall to let me watch Lawrence cable on my laptop while I was studying abroad for the year. Many students who contemplate studying abroad for an extended period of time worry about what it will be like to leave everything they know and love behind: friends, familly, their campus. Subsequently, they find themselves torn between two worlds and, eventually, missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime; living and studying in another country. Well, I'm here to tell you there are ways to keep a little bit of home with you anywhere you go. First of all, anybody who can use a computer can keep in touch with family and friends. MSN Live Messenger and Skype (an internet phone) are the best ways I've found. Both allow a user to do regular on-line chat as well as free PC to PC video/voice conferencing. You can also purchase credit to call landlines or cell phones for much cheaper than an international phone card. Just set-up a time with people to talk each week and away you go. Secondly, if you are a huge sports fan, like me, or TV junkie, you can buy a Slingbox which hooks-up to your local cable and internet and streams local programming straight to your computer over the internet, and you won't ever miss your favorite show...as long as you're not in class. Also, there's always Facebook, blog sites, and good old fashion e-mail to keep in touch with everyone back home, but there is a warning to go along with all of this technological connectivity. Don't miss out on your study abroad experience because you're so worried about what is going-on back home!! The reason for going abroad is to have cultural experiences and personal interactions that you would never get at home. If you spend all your time worrying about what's going on back home, you'll miss out on many opportunities abroad. Family and true Friends will be there for you no matter how long you're gone. There is always next season, there are always re-runs. Bottom-line: don't let the fear of being away from all that is "normal" and "comfortable" keep you from going abroad, but don't be so connected to home when you're there that you forget the reason you left in the first place was to get a new perspective on life. the first place that it got me to feel like I am not alone ANDREW STARK AT THE TANABATA FESTIVAL IN HIRATSUKA, JAPAN. Michael Nelson studied abroad in L viv Ukraine during the 2006-2007 academic year through a student-initiated program. LIFE IN THE UKRAINE I decided to study abroad in L'viv, Ukraine at the beginning of my junior year. I wanted to go to Ukraine in order to attain a better understanding of the Ukrainian language, as well as further arouse my curiosity of Ukrainian culture. At first I applied for a federal scholarship in order to study abroad, and although I did not receive it, I did not feel discouraged from pursuing my goal to study abroad in L'viv. I felt as though I had enough assistance as well as the qualifications necessary to study abroad in Ukraine; that is, I already had a strong command of the Russian language and had been studying Ukrainian intensely with one other student in my faculty. Therefore, I was very much set on my decision to study abroad, and I knew that nothing was going to prevent me from being able to do so. I left for Ukraine in August of 2006 with a good idea of what to expect from the host culture. I had already studied abroad in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2005, so I did not feel any fear or great uncertainty in my decision to go abroad. Moreover, I knew what to expect of the Ukrainian bureaucracy, which is rather similar to the Russian bureaucracy. Although this was the case, I entered Ukraine differently than I had entered Russia. Firstly, I entered Ukraine alone; secondly, I experienced some problems with my luggage at the international airport in Kyiv; thirdly, I was study and live in Ukraine for an entire academic year (I studied in St. Petersburg for six weeks). But soon after I arrived, I quickly adjusted to the city and experienced very few difficulties in navigating my way around the city as well as with the language. In addition, I lived with a host family, which gave me the opportunity to speak Ukrainian as often as possible. I even met a number of Ukrainian students at my university, most of whom were in my faculty, and quickly befriended them. This allowed me to become very confident as well as very proficient in the Ukrainian language. While abroad in Ukraine, I was forced to do a lot of things on my own for the first time in my life. While I had a group of fellow Russian students from the university with me in Russia, I had very few friends in Ukraine with a strong command of the English language. Furthermore, I was forced to make friends with Ukrainians, which was a significant contributor to the development of my proficiency in the Ukrainian language. Whether it was during class at the university, or at the pub with friends during the evening, I was speaking Ukrainian as often as possible, with a variety of Ukrainians. Being forced to meet new people in a different culture greatly changed my world outlook, and I feel as though I continue to benefit from the fact that I had to build a brand new social network in a completely different country.

After a year of carrying the burden of Houston's seemingly inexplicable decision to draft him, the 6-foot-7 player seemed to stand a little taller when it was time to talk about Sunday's game. Last year's top pick finally had his breakout game, returning a fumble for a tour 90 Fletcher knocked the ball out of Kris Wilson's hands and Williams recovered it. The defensive end got up and rumbled 38 yards for the touchdown. He kept the ball from that play and held onto it long after the game had ended. Green Bay 16, Philadelphia 13 Indianapolis 41, New Orleans 10 (Thursday) DeMeco Ryans jumped on Williams to congratulate him after the score. It was a change from last season, when Williams endured endless criticism because the Texans passed on Reggie Bush and Vince Young to get him.

Cold November morning. Going to watch the KU vs. K-State football game. This may seem like the act of an overzealous fan going to get in line for one of the greatest rivalries in college history, but actually, this was me. November of last year in Tokyo, Japan, going to my host campus to get a wireless internet signal. I bought a nifty little box before I left the States last fall to let me watch Lawrence cable on my laptop while I was studying abroad for the year. Many students who contemplate studying abroad for an extended period of time worry about what it will be like to leave everything they know and love behind: friends, family, their campus. Subsequently, they find themselves torn between two worlds and, eventually, missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime: living and studying in another country. Well, I'm here to tell you there are ways to keep a little bit of home with you anywhere you go. First of all, anybody who can use a computer can keep in touch with family and friends. MSN Live Messenger and Skype (an internet phone) are the best ways I've found. Both allow a user to do regular on-line chat as well as free PC to PC video/voice conferencing. You can also purchase credit to call landlines or cell phones for much cheaper than an international phone card. Just set-up a time with people to talk each week and away you go. Secondly, if you are a huge sports fan, like me, or TV junkie, you can buy a Slingbox which hooks-up to your local cable and internet and streams local programming straight to your computer over the internet, and you won't ever miss your favorite show...as long as you're not in class. Also, there's always Facebook, blog sites, and good old fashion e-mail to keep in touch with everyone back home, but there is a warning to go along with all of this technological connectivity. Don't miss out on your study abroad experience because you're so worried about what is going-on back home!! The reason for going abroad is to have cultural experiences and personal interactions that you would never get at home. If you spend all your time worrying about what's going on back home, you'll miss out on many opportunities abroad. Family and true friends will be there for you no matter how long you're gone. There is always next season, there are always re-runs. Bottom-line: don't let the fear of being away from all that is "normal" and "comfortable" keep you from going abroad, but don't be so connected to home when you're there that you forget the reason you left in the first place was to get a new perspective on life. Comme LIFE IN THE UKRAINE ANDREW STARK AT THE TANABATA FESTIVAL IN HIRATSUKA JAPAN Michael Nelson studied abroad in L viv Ukraine during the 2006-2007 academic year through a student-initiated program. I decided to study abroad in L'viv, Ukraine at the beginning of my junior year. I wanted to go to Ukraine in order to attain a better understanding of the Ukrainian language, as well as further arouse my curiosity of Ukrainian culture. At first I applied for a federal scholarship in order to study abroad, and although I did not receive it, I did not feel discouraged from pursuing my goal to study abroad in L'viv. I felt as though I had enough assistance as well as the qualifications necessary to study abroad in Ukraine; that is, I already had a strong command of the Russian language and had been studying Ukrainian intensely with one other student in my faculty. Therefore, I was very much set on my decision to study abroad, and I knew that nothing was going to prevent me from being able to do so. I left for Ukraine in August of 2006 with a good idea of what to expect from the host culture. I had already studied abroad in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2005, so I did not feel any fear or great uncertainty in my decision to go abroad. Moreover, I knew what to expect of the Ukrainian bureaucracy, which is rather similar to the Russian bureaucracy. Although this was the case, I entered Ukraine differently than I had entered Russia. Firstly, I entered Ukraine alone; secondly, I experienced some problems with my luggage at the international airport in Kyiv; thirdly, I was study and live in Ukraine for an entire academic year (I studied in St. Petersburg for six weeks). But soon after I arrived, I quickly adjusted to the city and experienced very few difficulties in navigating my way around the city as well as with the language. In addition, I lived with a host family, which gave me the opportunity to speak Ukrainian as often as possible. I even met a number of Ukrainian students at my university, most of whom were in my faculty, and quickly befriended them. This allowed me to become very confident as well as very proficient in the Ukrainian language. While abroad in Ukraine, I was forced to do a lot of things on my own for the first time in my life. While I had a group of fellow Russian students from the university with me in Russia, I had very few friends in Ukraine with a strong command of the English language. Furthermore, I was forced to make friends with Ukrainians, which was a significant contributor to the development of my proficiency in the Ukrainian language. Whether it was during class at the university, or at the pub with friends during the evening, I was speaking Ukrainian as often as possible, with a variety of Ukrainians. Being forced to meet new people in a different culture greatly changed my world outlook, and I feel as though I continue to benefit from the fact that I had to build a brand new social network in a completely different country.

FULL STORY ON PAGE 3A LAWRENCE Seminar helps bar workers learn to catch fake IDs The Lawrence Police Department teamed up with the Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control Monday night to better educate workers at Lawrence drinking establishments on how to detect fake IDs and prevent underage drinking. Mike Pattrick. Lawrence police captain, said the training was a preventive measure. He said they didn't want to start arresting more people for underage drinking. Bouncers who attended the event said detecting fake IDs could be difficult at times, but they usually knew which ones were fake. J. Taylor, who works at the Wheel, said he could judge a person's demeanor to tell if he or she were not actually 21.

KU on Wheels has 28 new buses this year because Student Senate voted to increase transportation fees. Students now pay $36 each semester compared with $16 last year. Five feet makes a big difference Longer buses cause accidents, delays as drivers adjust BY MARK DENT --- mdent@kansan.com A KU On Wheels bus driver stopped just before she turned north at 12th and Louisiana streets and stepped out of her new, 40-foot long bus. A man had just parked his Hummer H-2 along the side of the street. She The five-foot difference in length of the new KU on Wheels buses has proven difficult for drivers when turning. Eight accidents have already been reported by the KU Public Safety Office, compared with zero accidents this time last year. BENNETT BURGUNDY BUS COACHING Jessica Crabaugh/KANSAN told him to move forward or she'd hit his car when she turned. The driver avoided that collision, but accidents involving KU buses have been on the rise because new buses introduced in July are five feet longer than the old models, making them harder to turn. There have been eight accidents since the Transit Commission, the governing body for KU on Wheels, switched its buses to the new design this summer, according to the KU Public Safety Office. Last year during the same time period, no buses were involved in accidents. In 2005, only two buses crashed, according to the KU Public Safety Office. The 40 foot length of the new buses is one of the reasons drivers are having trouble adjusting, said a bus driver who asked to remain anonymous because of company rules. May Davis, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said they have 40-foot buses now because the company they buy them from could only provide buses of that size. Andrew Oleen, a Dwight sophomore who rides the bus nearly every day, said the longer length provides such a risk that drivers would usually wait for cars to pass or slow down to a near stop to avoid parked cars during turns. "If they're turning and there's another vehicle, there's no way they could do it," Oleen said. Slowing down for other cars causes the buses to run late, the driver said. But Davis said buses are starting to arrive on time more often. She attributed the time and accident problems to the extra traffic that comes with the start of school. The new buses are here because Student Senate voted to increase transportation fees by $20 each semester. Students now pay $36 total each semester. Regardless of the early problems, Davis said she was glad the vote passed because the University needed new buses. She said the old ones caused too much pollution and had trouble driving up hills. "It wasn't a good look for KU," Davis said. "It was one of the first things you'd see and not a good depiction." KU on Wheels has 28 buses now, and Davis said more were on the way. She said the accidents and slower route times wouldn't be a permanent problem. "The first few days are always rough," Davis said. "There's a learning curve for every job, but when you drive a bus, people notice."

Colleges attended: University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Minneapolis and the University of Kansas. What do you enjoy the most about the courses you teach? It's rare for students to take an art history course in high school. I enjoy introducing them to a new subject. What role does teaching play in your position with the honors program? I do teaching, advising and recruitment with the honors program, and all the co-curricular programming. But, I believe that teaching is the most important thing I do. What was your favorite part about college? When I was in college, I loved art history, but I loved having to take courses that fulfilled general education requirements. It was exciting to take courses outside of my discipline and I thought that was an important part of the process for me. Describe your perfect day. It would consist of reading a book by a lake, preferably a Minnesota lake. What is your favorite food? Anything fresh and local. Right now, I love fruit from the farmer's Iris J. market. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? I would like to go to Nigeria for so many reasons. Nigeria has urban centers CONTRIBUTED PHOTO that are really an important part of African culture, but there are also more traditional village-based areas. I also love African art history. What is the best advice you've ever received? Write before you think you're ready. Writing helps you to clarify your ideas, and it helps you to discover what's important about your research. What one piece of advice would you give to students? Keep taking foreign language.

V THE UNIVERSITY OF DARYA KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 NEWS OBITUARY 3A Recent graduate dies Saturday after I-70 crash Evans remembered for her lively personality, passion BY COURTNEY CONDRON ccondron@kansan.com CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Melissa Beth Evans, known to her friends as Spike, died Saturday at 10:15 a.m. from injuries suffered in a car accident on Interstate 70 Friday morning. Evans graduated from the University of Kansas in May, majoring in History and Latin American Studies. While studying abroad in Costa Rica, Evans received the nickname Spike, which referred to her short haircut that she often gelled into a mohawk. Her host mother even called her Pirucha, which is Spanish for "spike." After returning to the United States, Evans requested that her friends continue calling her by the nickname. Before she graduated in May, Melissa "Spike" Evans was president of KL Latin American Solidarity and lived on Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall. Greg Hill, Brentwood, Tenn., senior and Evans' boyfriend, said, "Despite just her hair, I think she thought the nickname sort of reflected her personality. She liked rock 'n roll and was very free-spirited." While at the University, Evans was a member of Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall. She also participated in an alternative spring break trip to Nicaragua and was president of KU Latin American Solidarity. Her passion was helping improve conditions for migrant workers and faculty working in Latin American countries. Briana Saunders, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, junior, and Evans' roommate, said, "I would be wearing a shirt, and she would tell me 'You know I've probably been to the factory where they made that, and the conditions were horrible there. I don't know why you even have that,' and just give me trouble for wearing it." Since graduating, Evans had been working for the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging, a nonprofit organization in Kansas City, Kan., that provides international aid, Evans, who was fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, helped translate letters between children and their sponsors. Evans' goal was to attend graduate school and earn her doctorate. Eventually she wanted to be a teacher. "She wanted to share her passion for Latin America with other children, through movies and images," Hill said. Her friends said Evans also loved to cook and always kept a very clean home. She loved going out to parties and enjoyed many different types of music. She had also been a dancer since the age of three. "Spike was a vivacious, lively person who always wanted to have a good time," Saunders said. "She was the life of the party." A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday at the Susanna Wesley United Methodist Church in Topeka. The procession will then follow to Mount Hope Cemetery. Memorial Contributions at the church will go towards the Ecumenical Christian Ministries Center. "She was fabulous and intelligent, and you always knew when Spike was in the room." Elise Higgins, Topeka sophomore and friend of Evans, said. "She will be very missed by her friends and family." — Edited by Elizabeth Cattell CAMPUS Greek houses sponsor self-defense workshop BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com Having the skills to fight an attacker could save your life. The Ali Kemp Educational (TAKE) Foundation defense program will be on campus Wednesday to provide free self defense training for women. The University of Kansas will be the first stop on the TAKE Ten college tour. Brad Cardonell, Tribune junior and vice president of communications for Sigma Phi Epsilon, said that in past years, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Pi Beta Phi have helped bring the TAKE defense program to KU to train the Pi Beta Phi women. This year they decided to team up with Alpha Delta Pi to make the training available to women ages 14 and older. He said that although Sigma Phi Epsilon helped to sponsor the program, none of the fraternity members will participate in the training. "Sigma Phi Epsilon strongly believes in empowering women with the knowledge and training they need to stay safe while at college," Cardonell said. The TAKE Foundation was founded by Roger and Kathy Kemp in 2002 after their daughter, Ali, was assaulted and murdered while working at a Johnson County swimming pool during the summer. The TAKE know how to defend yourself - Be aware of your surroundings. Your personal safety is your responsibility. Avoid parking next to vans.

Have your keys ready to enter your vehicle, and immediately lock your doors and roll up your windows once you are inside. When placing items or children in your vehicle from a shopping cart, open your back - Trim bushes and hedges away from windows and doors to eliminate hiding places for attackers. Replace burned-out porch lights and garage lights immediately. Always shop with someone. Most muggers and other attackers will be discouraged if you have company, male or female. Never leave keys to your home with your car keys when your car is left with a parking lot attendant or a service station employee. Meg Stewart, Mission Hills senior and president of Pi Beta Phi, has participated in the training a few times. Defense program has provided training for over 20,000 women so far. "I always leave with a sense of empowerment and a new self-confidence about how to better protect myself," Stewart said. The program will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday in www.takedefense.org Cardonell said there will be a voluntary $10 donation to help fund the foundation, but they will not turn away anyone who wants to attend but is unable to pay.

Matt Erickson KANSAS UNION T-Mobile store moves off campus Company wants to provide services for entire Lawrence community BY PATRICIA POLLET editor@kansan.com The T-Mobile store on Level 3 of the Kansas Union will close shop this month. The company is looking at opening another location more capable of servicing the entire Lawrence community. Sean Finn, marketing manager for T-Mobile in Kansas City, said he is looking into leasing a space between 23rd and 31st streets on Iowa Street for its new location. T-Mobile posted a sign in the Union location informing customers that the store is closing Sept. 22 and that it has revised the remaining business hours. T-Mobile customers can still pay their bills or receive services by mail, phone, online or at one of the Simply Wireless locations. "We want to relocate on the street to provide greater service to Lawrence," Finn said. "It also costs too much [at the Union]" Finn said the Union was not the prime location the company wanted a few years ago, and for the company to serve Lawrence as a whole, it was ideal to move to a more convenient location for the population. Finn did not release the cost of the monthly lease. "The problem with Lawrence is finding a really good real estate location," Finn said. T-Mobile signed a renewal contract in February 2007, and the store was to remain in the Union until January 2008. T-Mobile gave a notice to the Union that stated it would remain until Sept. 30. The notice honored the contract's 60-day clause that provides businesses a way to leave without penalty by providing notice. Board of Directors on Aug. 25 was the first step to find a new business to lease the space. Beard said there are several business options to fill the empty space, including an optical store, computer game center, entertainment arcade, CD/DVD sales, floral shop and a tanning salon. Beard said the board had no objections to sending out requests for proposals to these businesses. After sending out the requests, filling the empty space is a matter of waiting for the return of the proposals. "We are pulling out earlier [than the notice date] because the employees are needed at other locations," said Finn. The Store has been in the Union since February 2003. Pat Beard, the Union's director of building services, said observations would indicate a good customer base for T-Mobile. The original contract's length of time was three years with two additional one- "We have been fortunate of not "Most [businesses] stay for a long period of time.Most of the time spaces are quickly filled." PAT BEARD Union Building Services Director "They were good clients," Beard said. "We're sorry to see them go." furtune of not having much turnover," Beard said. "Most [businesses] stay for a long period of time. Most of the time, spaces are quickly filled." Beard said the store's closing affects the Union's budget, but only on a short-term basis. The only effect on the Union is the lack of lease money until another business replaces T-Mobile. A discussion of ideas with the KU Memorial Corp. year contracts. T-Mobile is opting out of the first of the one-year extensions. Beard said the Union would probably not lease to additional cellular businesses in the future with the opening of the Sprint store located within the Union's KU bookstore on Level 2. Beard said the Union is the "franchisee" of this Sprint location. "It [re-leasing to T-Mobile] is probably not an option because we don't want to compete with ourselves," Beard said. — Edited by Jeff Briscoe United States Postal Service Statement of Ownership, Management, and Circulation 1.

WW.W.KANSAN.COM TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2007 BITSO'WISDOM PAGE 5A Early look: 2008 Republican presidential candidates You've seen these men perform in the wake of tragedy and in "Law & Order," now a look closer at their qualifications. The next presidential election is not for a little more than a year. This is common knowledge. It will become a bit less common once the election is a little more than a month away, and most people have not registered to vote or even figured out which of the candidates they prefer. But why delve into that kind of cynicism just yet? The 2008 election promises to be either the best race in our country's history, or, at the very least, the most entertaining. Even now, with so much time before the polls open, the sideshow that is the world of presidential politics has already opened and started taking tickets. Before you go find out which scalper has the best seats for under 50 bucks, let us take a look at the acts that have already been announced. This week, we will focus on the Republican Party. The Grand Old Party is in an interesting position. George W. Bush, the man who proved that even presidents who can keep it in their pants can be prime fodder for Jay Leno, is unable to run again, what with those pesky term limits and all. That means the party must, for the first time in eight years, come up with somebody new, and the contenders who have emerged so far have been a fun little bunch. The prime contender from the GOP so far appears to be Rudy Guiliani, the former mayor of New York City. This was the last public office he held. and it was almost six years ago. A mayor probably seems like a poor choice to fill a position which is concerned with an entire nation, but it was New York BEN COHEN issue of him being knighted by the Queen of England following his handling of the aftermath of Sept. 11. Do we really want a British knight as our president? Is that even allowed? Aside from Sir Rudy, Knight of Milking Tragedies for All They Are Worth and Then Some, the GOP has brought forth a few others. There is Mitt Romney, a fairly cleansmelling former governor of Massachusetts, who has never appointed anybody questionable to his campaign team. Ever. Do you hear me? Never! Another hopeful is Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, whose campaign has been bogged down by all the time spent wondering why the other members of the Republican Party keep patting him on the head and saying, "Aww, you're so adorable, of course you can play Elections with us." Seemingly for fun, the GOP has also put forth Fred Thompson, who quit the Senate earlier this decade to act on "Law and Order," and Ron Paul, who last ran for President in 1988 as a member of the Libertarian Party. While considered an outsider, Paul does have the advantage of having cornered the pivotal college-students-who-spend-too-much-time-on-Facebook bloc. Lastly, there is John McCain. Once the maverick of the Republican Party, the one most willing to step across party lines to accomplish his goals, and the one who criticized President Bush before it was cool, McCain has been reduced to the sad role of Elder Statesman. The longtime Senator from Arizona was once a perennial contender, scrappy and talented, like the Phoenix Suns, but has lately become a sad picture of perpetually unfulfilled potential, more like the Arizona Cardinals. There are a few others vying for the chance to run for President with an elephant as their mascot, but none are interesting enough to be made fun of in this small space. Stay tuned, as I will be running down the prominent Democrats in two weeks. Cohen is a Topeka junior in journalism and English. GUEST COLUMN Still Remembering America's war on terror six years to the date. STEVE JOHNSON Six years ago today we witnessed the worst terrorist attack in American history as al Qaeda murdered more than 3,000 Americans. Following the courageous example of the 37 men and women of Flight 93 who stormed the cockpit of their hijacked airplane to save the White House and U.S. Capitol, President Bush ordered our fine military to strike Al-Qaeda with a vengeance. Osama bin Laden's war against America and freedom began in 1993 with the first World Trade Center bombing. Just as America and her allies faced down the evil of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany and won, so America and her allies now face the evil of Osama bin Laden and his Al-Qaeda terrorists, but we too will win. The battle is long, but we are winning the war. We liberated Afghanistan from the tyranny of the Taliban and Iraq from Saddam the dictator. America has liberated over 59 million people from the chains of tyranny, as we relentlessly eradicate terrorism. We cannot fail and we will not fail. Our brave men and women in uniform are fighting heroically: To them, we say god-speed—America stands behind you, the torch of freedom ever bright atop the Statue of Liberty. We thank you for your sacrifices and pray for your safe return. We stand united as Americans to prevail in this war. As we remember our fellow Americans who died on Sept. 11, we will honor their memory by defeating terrorism with freedom. Johnson is an Overland Park law student. DRAWING BOARD SPUR OF THE MOMENT TEA AND CAKE, OR DEATH "High School the Musical," seriously. A quick recounting of guilty pleasures, from listening to Shakira to shopping I like to think of myself as a very serious and pragmatic person. But once in a great while I will say, think or do something that reminds me of how immature and infantile I can be. These reminders are my guilty pleasures. As a nice diversion, I've decided to enumerate them. For me, the first of my favorite pleasures that pops to mind is excessive shopping. Just envisioning JORDAN WILLIAMS Being a rabid Democrat, one would think that my favorite political pundit would be, say, Bill Maher or James Carville. Incorrect. Rather, the one pundit that gets me all-a-ditty is Ann Coulter. Whenever I hear Sean Hannity announce that Ms. Speaking of women, third on my dubious list of self indulgence is soaking up the fabulousness and beauty of sorority girls. I love it when they randomly come by my fraternity to say hi to whomever is present. They are just so darn clazy and fashionable, I can't help but gravitate towards them and discuss the latest episode of "Grey's Anatomy" or Nicole Richie's newest haircut. myself walking around the Plaza in Kansas City sends my senses into euphoria. When I set foot in the Coach or Burberry store, I lose free rein over my hands, wallet and the contents therein. The mea culpa happens when I have to defend my bank statement to my accountant, also known as my mother. But enough of high-end accessories; I absolutely must move on to those joggers. My day instantly brightens when a perfectly sculpted (and shirtless) jogger enters my visage. Yes, I know this blatant ogling is gratuitous and objectifying, but it's high time that men face what women have been dealing with for centuries. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself. Coulter will be making a guest appearance on that night's show, I swoohed. I love (almost) everything that she says and does, much to the As most of my better friends know, I am unequivocally obsessed with news and politics. chagrin of my liberal compatriots. In fact, buying Ann Coulter's book Slander was so much of a guilty pleasure, I practically had to hide the conservative tome from my mother. This may be a novel idea in today's liberal America, but I actually believe in the freedom of speech, even if it riles my feathers. Moving on, who could make a list of all things silly and pleasurable without mentioning "High School Musical 27" I will admit that the choreography could have been instigated by a chimpanzee. Furthermore, Ashley Tisdale's acting won't ever be compared to Julia Roberts', but the songs are so catchy. In my defense, around 17.2 million people agreed with me as per recent TV Guide ratings. Finally, the guilty pleasure that rounds out my list is my adoration of foreign music. I'm not going to lie. I sometimes feel unpatriotic when I notice that most of my favorite singers either don't sing in English or hail from abroad. I am very adamant in my belief that British, Latin and Japanese music hasn't been tainted by talentless ex-models and actors masquerading as singers. They are genuine, bona fide musicians and singers.

The documentary, "Oil, Smoke and Mirrors," takes a look at Sept. 11 conspiracy theories and the connection to the current U.S. government's domestic and international policies. The film contends that the public has been misinformed about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, war in Iraq and the government's motives. The ideas presented could be extreme for some people. Some of the opinions expressed in the film suggest that the Sept. 11 attacks were the product of the U.S. government and that the attacks were used to pursue military and economic goals of the U.S. administration. The tagline for the movie reads, "There is no war on terror." Lawrence nonprofit group Films for Action is sponsoring the screen- tim Hiersted, Lawrence sophomore and one of the founders of Thomas Hellas, phre The film's press release said that the information presented was a discouraging yet factual description of the nation's current situation.

Regarding Sept. 11 conspiracy theories, Helike said people most likely were trying to make sense of such a nation," Heilke said. "The thought that terrorists did this without many resources and weren't very wealthy, it's frightening. That's when people tend to think there has to be a bigger explanation." The film also touches on the issue of peak oil, the point at which the world's oil supply will run out. Hiersed said the film did a great job of explaining the situation. "It it shows that oil equals power," Hjersted said. "And our administration chose to deal with it by going to war with Iraq." Heilke said the issue tied into more conspiracy theories and "the fog of war." "The direct connection of what caused what gets lost." Heilke said. Heilke said some connections that people made from the war on terror to the global oil situation could be purely speculative. He said it was difficult to say the war on terror wasn't about defending our country from further attacks and was completely about oil.

Taylor and Tyler Yeakel, Lawrence seniors, enjoy catered food for a seminar to educate local bar and restaurant employees about fake IDs Monday night at Abe and Jake's Landing, Taylor and Yeakel said it wasn't difficult to away underage drinkers because it was just part of the job. The seminar was sponsored by the Lawrence Police Department and the Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. It's Friday night at The Wheel, and J. Taylor has to make a choice as he works the door. A young-looking student stands in front of him with a questionable driver's license stating she's 22. Taylor, Lawrence senior, can let the student in or turn her down. "It's not too tough," he said after attending an alcohol compliance education training session. "It's not my decision; it's my boss's. I respect who I work for and what it stands for. I don't want to get him in trouble." The Lawrence Police Department tried to make that decision simpler for about 200 workers from local alcohol-selling establishments by educating them about fake IDs Monday at Abe and Jake's Landing. Police provided the training to help prevent underage drinking. Karen Price, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, gave tips to the workers about detecting fake driver's licenses. She said the state's font was sometimes smaller than on real licenses, and that the addresses were often in all capital letters instead of mixed lowercase and capitals. She wanted the workers to compare the facial features of the person and the picture — even the smallest differences. "One agent absolutely swears by checking the bottom of the nose to the top of the lip." Price said. Still, bouncers at bars, waiters and waitresses at restaurants and liquor store clerks must make tough decisions every night. Taylor said he usually turned down 10 to 15 people each shift. Sometimes, Taylor said, fake IDs are as good as real ones. He said bouncers have to notice the person's demeanor to make decisions in those situations. Angry patrons are another problem. Tyler Yeakel, a Lawrence senior who also works at The Wheel, said people who are turned down often get upset. Taylor said that he can still do his job well despite the pressure. "We're the badasses at the bar," he said. "Drunk people aren't that easy to work with, and it's tough to be on top all of the time. But our job is to minimize the error." The meeting to crack down on underage drinking comes three years after Lawrence police last tried similar efforts, according to Mike Pattrick, Lawrence police captain. He said police were trying to prevent underage drinking, not to arrest students. Their first priority is teaching the staff at drinking establishments how to identify minors, Pattrick said. But he also said the police would enter bars and liquor stores periodically to see how many minors were there and to gauge how well their prevention efforts were working.

TOP of the HILL 66 CRIME Man kills former co-worker, self at Wisconsin factory By DINESH RAMDE Associated Press SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — A gunman in camouflage killed a former co-worker inside a Wisconsin factory early Monday, then committed suicide in the sprawling building, police said. She was on the job Monday when she was shot to death around 4:30 a.m., police Lt. Michael Williams said. Her attacker fired one shot, hitting her in the abdomen; then, when she tried to get away, he shot her in the head, said Kirk Engholt, vice president of human resources for Rockline. Police identified the shooter as Shadow Yang, 40, and the victim as Christina Wollenzien, 28. Both lived in Sheboygan. Wollenzien was an assembly line worker in Rockline Industries' coffee filter division and had worked in the same area as Yang until about a year ago, a company official said. As many as 130 other employees were in the factory near downtown Sheboygan at the time and quickly fled as officers cordoned off the area. About 20 tactical team officers searched the block-long building before finding Yang's body; police said it was unclear when he shot himself. Yang apparently forced his way into the plant, police Lt. Jeff Johnston said. "A heavy object was used to smash the window on an exterior door," he said. Employees who witnessed the shooting said it appeared Yang was targeting Wolltenzien, Johnston said. Other employees did an impressive job of evacuating the plant, he said. One handgun was found at the scene, but Johnston said the investigators were still looking over the factory for possible evidence. Yang had quit his job in October, after working there as a materials handler for about five years, Engholt said. The only blemish on his work record was one unexcused absence. he said. "No problems, no complaints," Engholt said. "That's why we're mystified by what happened here." Yang drove a forklift and would have come into contact with Wollenzien occasionally, Engholt said. Wollenzien had worked at the plant about nine years, he said. Her mother also worked there, although on a different shift. Wollenzien's sister, April Heinecke, 25, huddled in the drizzle with about a dozen others outside the plant Monday afternoon. Her mother, who was not at work, had called her in the morning with news of the shooting. There was no evidence that Yang and Wollenzien were romantically involved, Johnston said. Yang was divorced, and Wollenzien was single. "She is someone we loved very much, she will be very much missed," the sister said. Heinecke said that her sister had no relationship with Yang other than as co-workers and that she didn't know of anything he could have had against her. It was minor, brought quickly under control and caused mostly smoke damage in the duplex's upper unit, said Daniel Pitsch, a shift commander for the Sheboygan Fire Department. "That's why everybody is baffled," she said. About 45 minutes before the shooting, firefighters were called to a fire at Yang's duplex apartment, Williams said. The fire was intentionally set, he said. Before Monday, police said, the only contact they had with Yang was issuing him a citation for unsafe parking. Rockline Industries, a family-owned company headquartered in Sheboygan, makes items including coffee filters and baby wipes. It does business in more than 50 countries and has more than 1,800 employees worldwide.

Police looking for Sam and Lindsey Porter, two children missing since 2004, found a shallow grave in the area Sunday containing human bones. The children's mother, Tina Porter, said she had been told by police they were likely the remains of her two younge children. Bones may be Porter children Experts try to identify remains found in shallow grave BY MARIA SUDEKUM FISHER ASSOCIATED PRESS SUGAR CREEK, Mo. — Anthropologists on Monday were examining bones that the mother of two missing children said police claimed were likely those of her young children, last seen when her estranged husband picked them up for a weekend visit in 2004. Tom Gentry, spokesman for the Independence police department, said the remains, believed to be human, were found Sunday in a shallow grave near the Missouri River after crews were called in to work on the case of the two missing children, Sam and Lindsey Porter. He said anthropologists had been called in to examine the remains, but Gentry would not identify the anthropologists or say what agencies they were associated with. "The anthropologists are out there. They'll need some time for packaging and mapping the remains, and they're photographing the site to make a document of the excavation," Gentry said. The children were 7 and 8 years old when their father, Dan Porter, picked them up from his estranged wife, Tina Porter, on June 5, 2004. The children's whereabouts have remained a mystery, and Dan Porter has told several different stories about what happened to them. Porter, 44, was convicted in February 2006 of parental kidnapping with the intent to terrorize his ex-wife and sentenced to 38 years in prison. "We're cautiously optimistic of bringing some sort of resolution to this case," Gentry said during a news conference Monday. The land where the bones were found Sunday is in a wooded, industrial area near Sugar Creek, a small Jackson County town east of Kansas City. Investigators looking for the children had searched the area before, and Gentry said Porter knew the area. "Mr. Porter used that area as one of his hunting grounds, so he was very familiar with that area," Gentry said, although he declined to say exactly why investigators were called back to the area. After his arrest on the kidnapping charges, Porter told authorities several stories about what he had done with his children, including that he had cut them up and that he had strangled them. On Sunday, The Kansas City Star reported that Tina Porter said police told her the remains were likely those of the children. On Monday, however, Tina Porter's sister, Tami Gochenour, told The Associated Press the family wanted to be completely certain of what was found before making a public statement. "We need to know; we need verification before we say anything," Gochenour said from Tina Porter's home in Independence. Gentry also said police had not identified the remains and were not saying they were those of the Porter children. "We want to be very cautious before we make any definitive statements," Gentry said. "Whatever we have to say, we're going to be sure that it's right." Gentry did not know if teeth were found at the site, but he said that if they are found, it's possible authorities could use dental records to identify the remains. "If it's determined that those remains are the Porter children, and this is just speculation, and if it's determined that's where they died, any charges would be filed in Sugar Creek," he said. The remains were found on land owned by La Farge North America, where Dan Porter used to poach deer. It also is in an area where Dan and Tina Porter met on the day he took the children. Police said he asked Tina Porter to meet him near the area so they could exchange vehicles. Tina Porter said that when she met Dan Porter, the children weren't with him. She said Dan Porter tried to get her to drive her pickup into the woods by telling her that he had stashed $50,000 there and wanted to get it. She refused. STARRING HOT CARL BROWNSTONE & KANDY APPLEBOTTOM Sexon the Hill ©7 coming Sept 20th THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN CRIME Mob secrets exposed in trial Frank Calabrese's own son helped the FBI tape conversations with his father while both were serving time for a loan-sharking conviction. In court, the son translated for jurors: When his father tells him to "keep 10 boxes of Spam ham," He's telling me to keep $1,000 a month for myself" he said. BY MIKE ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS "He would shoot you in the head over cold ravioli," Lopez declared. CHICAGO — A federal jury found five men guilty Monday in a racketeering conspiracy that involved decades of extortion, loan sharking and murder aimed at rubbing out anyone who dared stand in the way of the ruthless Chicago mob. In Spilotro's case, witnesses testified that mob higher-ups were enraged at him for making side deals with the potential to attract federal investigators. It seemed he was also having a love affair with another mobster's wife. The verdicts capped an extraordinary 10-week trial that laid bare some of the inner workings of The Outfit. Witnesses described former friends being blindly lured to their deaths, the relentless squeezing of a mob bookie and a pizza restaurant operator for thousands of dollars in "street tax," and clandestine rituals where the newly initiated "made guys" had their fingers cut and were required to take an oath while holding burning religious pictures. The prosecution's star witness was an admitted hit man who took the stand against his own brother to spell out the allegations. The jury heard about 18 unsolved killings, including the beating death and cornfield burial of Tony "The Ant" Spliotro, the mob's man in Las Vegas and the inspiration for Joe Pescis' character in the 1995 movie "Casino." Lombardo also took the stand and admitted running what his attorney, Rick Halprin, called "the oldest and most reliable floating crap game on Grand Avenue". But he denied committing murder or being part of mob. The jury deliberated for fewer than 20 hours. The defendants, all but one of whom already have spent years behind bars, simply looked on, pokerfaced, as the clerk read the verdicts. Frank Calebrese's attorney, Joseph Lopez, had urged jurors not to trust his client's brother. The government's star witness was Nicholas Calabrese, an admitted hit man who cooperated with the government in hopes of avoiding a death sentence. He said his brother, Frank Calabrese, ran a loan sharking business and specialized in strangling victims with a rope, then cutting their throats to make certain that they were dead. It was a sweeping victory for prosecutors. The five men were found guilty on all counts, including racketeering conspiracy, bribery, illegal gambling and tax fraud. Yet his brother described a 1983 killing in which the two blasted away on a Cicero street, killing two. Alleged mobboss James Marcello, 65; alleged capo capo Joseph "Joey the clobm" Lombardio, 78; convicted loan shark Frank Calabrese Sr., "In my mind, I knew I had to do this because if I didn't, my brother would have flattened me," Nicholas Calabrese testified. "I would have been left there." court that he associated with mofsters, but he denied being one himself. 70; and convicted jewel thief Paul Schiro, 70, could now face up to life in prison. The fifth man, retired Chicago police officer Anthony Doyle, 62, was the only one among the five not accused of taking part in at least one killing. The trial focused on the killings, ordinarily among the deepest and most closely held secrets of the mob, whose members have sworn an oath of silence. The jurors' next task is to determine which men were responsible for each of the 18 deaths. From the start, prosecutors asked the jurors to forget what they learned from "The Godfather" movies, but the testimony that followed was fit for a Hollywood script. Frank Calabrese admitted in ODD NEWS Lifetime synagogue seats on eBay start at $1.8 million MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Just in time for the Jewish high holidays, two lifetime front-row seats to services at a synagogue are being auctioned off on eBay. The bidding starts at $1.8 million. The lucky winner's family name will be engraved on Seats 1 and 2 of the first row at Temple Emanuel. The winner also will receive free "It's a gift that goes from one generation to another," said Rabbi Kliel Rose. parking, two custom-made prayer shawls and yarmulkes, and a hefty tax write-off. Plus, the winning bidder can pass the seats down to his or her children. As of Saturday evening, no one had made a wager. Rose said he wasn't surprised. He said the auction was more about gaining the attention of Jews who are disconnected from their faith. "It has very little to do with the money," Rose said. "If the money comes, it would be great, but the idea was really just to be edgy." Temple Emanu-El is a 1,400-seat conservative congregation that was founded in the 1940s on South Beach. It had thousands of members in its heyday, but the temple shrunk to a little more than 200 families by the time Rose arrived two years ago.

Kansas' starting lineup against the Croatian national team on Sept. 2 included just one under-classman, but Coach Ritch Price made it clear that several young Jayhawks could push for starting jobs. He called this year's recruiting class the best he's had at Kansas. THE INFIELD Price expects to experience the most turnover in his infield. Although junior catcher Buck Afenir, junior first baseman Preston Land and senior shortstop Erik Morrison are sure bets to keep their starting spots. Price might have to do a little juggling to find starters at second and third base. Price K One way or another, sophomore Robby Price will be starting in the infield, but after starting 57 games at third base last season, he may be the regular second baseman in 2008. In place of Robby at third base, Coach Price likes what he sees out of Tony Thompson. Although a freshman, at 6-foot-4, 214 pounds, Thompson has the body of a corner infielder. But Price also wants to find a way to get freshman infielder Jimmy Waters into the starting lineup. "The young man can really hit," Price said of Waters. "He's not as proficient defensively as he needs to be to play at our level, but he's been one of our better hitters in the first two weeks of the captain's scrimmages. He's a tremendous athlete." One alternative Price is considering is moving Waters to an already crowded outfield. THE OUTFIELD Senior John Allman has been a mainstay in left field for the Jayhawks the last three seasons, and that isn't likely to change any time soon. After losing Kyle Murphy and Brock Simpson to the draft, the team has vacancies in center and right field, but a trio of upperclass. men are already vying for those spots. Faunce Senior Casey Larson appeared in 40 games last season, starting 20, and played almost exclusively in center field. But it was junior Nick Faunce who started there Sunday and led off for the Jayhawks. Faunce knows a lot can happen between now and the spring, though. "He's really mixing it up. I think he wanted to put players in who had experience at the beginning of the game," Faunce said of Price. "I'm hoping I'm going to stay out there, but I can't guarantee it." All that's left is right field, where senior Ryne Price will be making the transition from second base. Coach Price said Ryne also would catch occasionally, which was his natural position in high school. So Waters might be able to fill in right field on days where Ryne is behind the plate. PITCHING The only new face out of the nine pitchers who appeared Sunday was freshman Brett Bochy, who was a redshirt last season, but Price also expects some newcomers to challenge for spots in the starting rotation — in particular, sophomore left-hander Shaeffer Hall. Hall transferred to Kansas after one year at Jefferson College, where he went 10-1 with a 2.19 ERA, six complete games and 67 strikeouts in 83 innings. As a senior at Lee's Summit West, Hall was named the Kansas City Star All-Metro Player of the Year and was drafted in the 28th round by the Texas Rangers in the MLB Amateur Draft. Fortunately for Price, he'll have more time than usual to sort out his roster before the spring season. Because of new NCAA regulations, teams can't begin spring practices until Feb. 1 and must wait until the third Friday of the month to play their season opener — a major cutback, considering Kansas played its season opener Feb. 1 last season. But the NCAA did grant programs more practice time in the fall. Price said he could only hold 11 fall practices in past years, but this year he has a 45-day window in which to hold as many as 33 practices. "I really like the change." Price said. "It allows you to practice properly and prepare your players to play on the weekend properly as opposed to before, where we were basically just scrimmaging."

SHROYER (CONTINUED FROM 12A) To my chagrin, I didn't look any better in round three. The only positive I found was that, like any good lefty, I could still get around on the inside pitch. But, considering how the eight-year-old boy across from me put my hits to shame, I almost wanted to try hitting right-handed for the first time since Little League I stuck with the same speed for round four and touched a few more pitches, but I could tell I was dropping my back elbow because all my hits were harmless pop-ups. I was ready to work out the kinks in round five, but my last token was eaten. On my way to buy another token, the teenage employee who had been monitoring the cages walked by. "Sorry you had to watch that," I said to him. He didn't say anything, but his polite smile couldn't hide his thoughts. The pity in his eyes stung even more than the blisters that formed on my right hand. I bought one more token and ignored the pain the blisters caused when I swung. I had to finish on a good note. Finally, in round five, pop-ups turned into solid ground- ers, and I turned on an inside pitch, sending a line drive to the right. I didn't hit the final pitch even though I desperately wanted to, but round five offered the glimmer of hope I needed. SATURDAY After my trip to the batting cages, I realized I wouldn't be able to depend on my bat to make the team. I'll need to flash some leather at first base. My dad came to town from Shawnee at 10:30 a.m., and we went to Municipal Stadium at Hobbs Park for infield practice. For years while I was growing up in Mound City, Dad and I spent Saturday mornings practicing baseball, and I was glad we had the chance to do it at least one more time. Municipal Stadium isn't the nicest field in Lawrence. Cigarette butts, broken glass and a discarded pair of shoes littered the grandstand. The infield was rough, and a low spot behind first base was still muddy from the recent rainfall. But I've always enjoyed playing on old-fashioned diamonds, and if I could field grounders there, I should be able to handle grounders on Hoglund Ballpark's grass infield. As Dad hit grounders to me. I was pleased to find that my fielding abilities hadn't abandoned me. I'm right-handed in the field, which helps me cover everything down the line. I was surprised at how well I still could range to my right. I even made a few leaping catches on line drives to my right and chased down a couple fly balls over my head. Keith Hernandez may still be alive, but I felt his spirit assisting me. I closed practice working around the bag. Dad and I turned double plays, and it felt incredible to stretch for his throws. As inflexible as I may be around the field, I've always been limber on first base. Dad finished off the practice throwing me short hops and balls in the dirt to either side of the base. I dug most of them. Nothing is more rewarding to a first baseman than saving his teammates' errors and keeping unearned runs off the board. This week, I'll find out just how far along I've come. But, for good measure, be sure to say a prayer to the baseball gods for me.

"There are 30 bowls. That means you're an average team. The only bowl games that matter are the BCS games." Kansas played an FCS opponent in nine of the past 10 seasons since 1998. KU won each time. Before that, the team only had scheduled one FCS opponent since 1990. Only "When you get to the point where you want the program to be, then you can think of having a more challenging schedule," Marchiony said. "When you get to the point where you want the program to be, then you can think of having a more challenging schedule." JIM MARCHIONY Associate Athletics Director one victory against an FCS opponent can be counted for bowl eligibility each season. Sternberger believes a program should be built with the opposite mind-set. "If you play good teams, you will get more national attention and better players," Sternberger said. "Our schedule looks bad. I'm a fan of a tough schedule, something like Kansas State's, because they get national TV exposure. That helps recruiting." Patrick Millard, McPherson junior, said after Kansas's 62-0 victory against Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday that the University had a responsibility to fans to put together a more difficult schedule. "I don't feel like KU should ever have the easiest schedule in the nation," Millard said. "It isn't fair for the fans. My uncle drove two and a half hours to Lawrence to watch this game." FCS opponent Sam Houston State will travel to Lawrence on Sept. 20 of next year.

Herford returned three kicks for 149 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown return that gave Kansas a 9-10 lead. So far this season, Herford's kick return numbers are impressive enough to Herford M. MUHAMED JASIF stack up well against the nation's best. His average of 41.25 yards per return ranks third in the nation, and as a team, Kansas is first in the nation in yards per kick return. The touchdown return on Saturday was the first of Herford's career. UP NEXT In a teleconference on Monday, coach Mark Mangino said Kansas would spend time focusing on Toledo's offense in the days leading up to Saturday's game. Mangino said Toledo running back jalen Parmele was the key to the Rockets' offense. The 222-pound senior averages 3.5 yards per carry through two games and has scored one touchdown. In Toledo's home victory against Kansas last season, Parmele ran for 80 yards and the game-winning touchdown. JAYHAWKS FLY HIGH Kansas stands near the top of the nation in many statistical categories. The Layhawks' average of 57 points per game is third in the nation and the team's 519.5 yards per game average ranks 10th nationally. Individually, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing is ninth in the nation in passing efficiency and senior wide receiver Marcus Henry is ranked 12th in the nation in receiving yards per game. Kansas has not received such high marks in one notable category — strength of schedule. According to USA Today's Sagarin Rankings, which use a formula similar to the BCS computer rankings, Kansas' first two opponents were the easiest played by any Big 12 team. — Asher Fusco At this point in the season, FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A) impressive unit on the field Saturday, James McClinton was an absolute beast from the defensive tackle position, and Joe Mortensen reinforced the fact that he was born to be a middle linebacker. It was hard not to feel sorry for the Lions because they stood absolutely no chance of scoring on the Kansas defense. Harris and Resby haven't blown coverages or let receivers behind them for the most part. Even the most optimistic Kansas fans had to be concerned about the defensive backfield, which ranked dead-last in the nation against the pass last season. Two games into the 2007 campaign, the Jayhawks are 23rd in passing defense and the solid play of newcomers Harris and Resby has a lot to do with that. Keefer: If McClinton is the beast, either freshman cornerback Chris Harris or junior safety Patrick Resby has to be the beauty. It's not so much what the two have done, but more what they haven't done. Fusco: I'm not going to make any sort of judgment on the beauty of Harris or Resby, but both of them have certainly been excellent additions to the defensive backfield. Kansas' inability to stop the pass was the team's most glaring weakness; fortunately for Kansas, the new secondary has held better than last year's shoddy version. But not every team in the Big 12 has enjoyed the success that Kansas has. Iowa State, who lost to FCS opponent Northern Iowa last weekend, appears to be a completely atrocious football by saying things like, "If you hang out around trash long enough, you're going to start to smell like it!" in The Big 12's case, the Cyclones are definitely the trash. The mere mention of 0-2 Iowa State brings down a conference that otherwise has a lot going for it. Every If James McClinton is the beast, either freshman cornerback Chris Harris or junior safety Patrick Resby has to be the beauty. CASE KEEFER team. Colorado played respectably in the first game of the season but got dismantled by Arizona State on Saturday. Keefer: Remember when your parents would warn you against hanging out with the wrong people Kansan sports columnist other team is going to at least be competitive. The Big 12 seems to have one of the nation's foremost national title contenders in Oklahoma. The conference has a great chance to make a statement this weekend wher No. 1 USC travels to Lincoln, Neo, but don't expect the Cornhuskers to knock off the Trojans. After all, they are in the same conference as Iowa State. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell FedEx® Ground. Thinking about some fast cash and help with college?

The Cubs tallied 17 hits in a 12-3 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. The victory, combined with the Milwaukee Brewers' loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, put the Cubs and Brewers in a tie at aop the NL Central. CHICAGO — The Cubs will gladly pardon the interruption of their 10-game trip. our tours and fill out an application. Tour Times: Chicago got 17 hits during a one-game stopover at Wrigley Field, helping Ted Lilly win his 15th game and beating the St. Louis Cardinals 12-3. "It is weird," said Aramis Ramirez, who homered twice and had four hits. "We were supposed to be in Houston having a day off today, and we're here playing a game in Chicago."

Cubs beat Cardinals easily to tighten division race 8000 Cole Parkway Shawnee KS 66227 "We struggled the last couple of weeks to put runs on the board and we lost a couple of tough games," Ramirez said. "It's fun when everybody is getting their hits, for personal reasons and for the team." FedEx "Where's that been? That was a thing of beauty. We hit the ball for power. We hit the ball in the gaps. We hit the ball with men in scoring position," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "A game like this can really get you going." It was just the third win in eight games for Chicago, which fell out of first place Sunday for the first time since Aug. 16 and began Monday one game behind Milwaukee in the NL Central. (near K-7 highway and 83rd St.). Call for directions: (913) 441-7580 Ground MLB Derrek Lee and Ramirez homered in a five-run fourth, and Ramirez added another solo shot in a four-run eighth. St. Louis, which started the day three back of the Brewers, lost its fourth straight and dropped to 69-72. The teams made detours for the makeup of an August rainout. The Cardinals came to Chicago from Arizona and didn't land until around 11:30 p.m. Sunday night. Next, the World Series champions have three games at the Reds. "There's no doubt in my mind we'll be ready to play in Indiana," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "I know we're going to play hard enough, but then you have to play good enough. We were close in Arizona. This was a game that got out of control. It was ugly" Lilly (15-7) matched his career high for victories, set last year with the Blue Jays. He allowed five hits, including homers to Jim Edmonds and So Taguchi, and struck out seven in seven innings. The Cubs arrived home from Pittsburgh and head to the road for a critical swing that takes them to Houston for three games and St. Louis for four. "This little stretch here favors the Milwaukee situation because of the fact the two teams closest to them are playing each other." Piniella said before the game. "This week will tell a lot, starting today and ending Sunday. It will tell a whole lot about what is going to happen in this division and how close it will be." "This is why you prepare and work throughout the season, so you can finish strong" he said. "I've taken care of myself and I expect to go out there and do well from here on out." Chicago loaded the bases in the fifth against Brian Falkenborg on a walk, double by Ramirez and hit batter, and Jones hit an RBI single to make it 7-1. One pitch after Lilly knocked him down with a high-and-tight offering, Taguchi hit a two-run homer in the sixth. DeRosa had been drilled in the arm by Falkenborg the previous inning and his elbow was swollen after the game. He might not be able to play Tuesday. Joel Pineiro (4-3) gave up two homers, three doubles and a single The left-hander is 9-1 when starting following a Cubs' loss and has 17 career victories in September, his most in any month. in a span of seven batters in the fourth. Lee led off with his 18th homer and, one out later, Ramirez followed with his 21st for a 3-1 lead. "They hit everything: curveball, changeup, slider, fastball," Pineiro said. "It's disappointing. I let my teammates down, I let myself down, I let everybody else down. Now I just have to get ready to face these guys on the weekend." Mark DeRosa singled and then Jacque Jones, Jason Kendall and Lilly all lined RBI doubles in succession to finish Pineiro, who had beaten the Cubs at Wrigley three weeks ago. Pineiro lasted 3 1/3 innings, his shortest outing in eight innings since the Cardinals acquired him July 31 from Boston, where he'd been a reliever.

INJURIES Buffalo tight end hurts spinal cord, may not wai The spinal-cord injury suffered by Bills tight end Kevin Everett was "catastrophic" and life-threatening and it will be several days before the severity is known. On a day when nearly a dozen teams were hit with injuries to key players, Everett's was the worst, caused when he tackled Denver kick returner Domenik Hixon. "A best-case scenario is full recovery, but not likely," Dr. Andrew Cappuccino said, one day after performing a four-hour operation on the player. "I believe there will be some permanent neurological paralysis. A full neurological recovery was bleak, dismal." The 25-year-old Everett underwent surgery Sunday night. He is currently under forced sedation and breathing through a respirator as doctors wait for the swelling to lessen. Everett's family members, including his mother, Patricia Dugas, were expected to arrive in Buffalo on Monday from their Houston home.

So, how does a baseball player recover skills lost during a three-and-a-half-year layoff from the game in just a week? Simply put, it can't be done. But I did the most I could last week to prepare for walk-on tryouts, which began this week. I had actually been running since the spring to get in better shape, but it won't matter how far or fast I can run if I can't hit or field. As a left-handed hitting first baseman, I soon found myself praying to the prophet Ted Williams and the patron saint of first basemen Keith Hernandez But the baseball gods help only those who help themselves. It was time to strap on the ol' batting gloves and lace up my spikes. WEDNESDAY The weather reports weren't promising. All I wanted to do was to get off work and get to the Kansas Sports Center in Lenexa for some batting practice, and all Weather.com was telling me that by the time I got there, it would be pouring. Ever the optimist, I decided to test nature. But the baseball gods had frowned upon me. No sooner than I began seeing exit signs for Lenexa on K-10, the rain began and became heavier by the minute. I arrived at the Kansas Sports Center just in time to see an employee locking up the batting cages. One look at the sky told me this rain wasn't stopping any time soon, and I cursed it. FRIDAY Ted Williams always said that hitting a round ball with a round bat was the single hardest thing to do in sport. Yet, there was a time in my life when doing so came naturally. So Friday afternoon I inserted my token into the pitching machine and selected the fastest speed setting. But even from the afterlife, Teddy Ballgame can humble hitters. I struggled just to make contact and took it down a notch for my next round. Contact was still minimal in round two, and I gave a nice breeze to the family a few cages down. I took it down another notch. SEE SHROYER ON PAGE 8A Schedule preys on weaker FCS teams FOOTBALL Some fans would prefer to see big-name opponents in Lawrence BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com The shocking Appalachian State upset of Michigan will do nothing to change the ideology of KU schedule makers. The Athletics Department plans to continue to schedule FCS, formerly known as Division 1AA, opponents in the future, according to Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony. "I remember a couple years ago when we played Appalachian State, and nobody here thought they were any good," Marchiony said. "There are no gimmies in college football. You can't worry about what people think of the schedule, you just do what you think is best for the program." In 2005, KU defeated the Mountaineers 36-8. ASU won the FCS championship that year. Marchiony said FCS schools generally accepted less money than lower-division FBS opponents to travel to Lawrence. FCS opponents are considered inferior to their larger division counterparts, without the exposure, resources or prestige to recruit on a national level. Michigan's hiccup, coupled with such upsets as Saturday's Northern Iowa victory against Iowa State, has gone lengths to debunk the notion that FCS games are sure-wins. Marchiony said the Athletics Department has tried to "schedule for success," with an obvious eye on bowl eligibility. Eric Sternberger, Wichita junior, said he would rather see a marquee nonconference game in Lawrence than the Jayhawks in a lower-tier bowl game with wins against inferior competition. "What does bowl eligibility mean?"

Other players picked up the slack to carry the team to a 62-0 victory against Southeastern Louisiana KANSAN FILE PHOTO Kansas impressive, not perfect Strong offensive line, defense make up for Reesing's off day Fusco: Last weekend was definitely an eventful one for Kansas football and the entire Big 12 Conference. Starting here in Lawrence, there was an awful lot of scoring — at least by the Jayhawks — and quite a few highlights. Todd Reesing once again put his powerful arm on display and Kansas received positive contributions from almost every player on the roster. Granted, it was against Southeastern Louisiana, but the Jayhawks won very convincingly. BY CASE KEEFER AND ASHER FUSCO KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNISTS CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM, AFUSCO@KANSAN.COM THE REPUBLIC OF GUYANA Keefer: Southeastern Louisiana quarterback Brian Babin had the best analysis of Saturday's game when he said "Well, they're Kansas. We're Southeastern Louisiana." Babin is correct. But the Jayhawks did little things well, which made the victory more On Kansas' two longest pass plays, Reesing would have had enough time to run up to the Campanile and back to the field without any pressure in the backfield. It's unfair to expect Todd Reesing to be Peyton Manning every week, which is why the offensive line's ability to hold blocks is vital. Todd Reeing finished 13-for-23 with 251 yards and two touchdowns. Reesing's numbers were just as impressive as week one, but he didn't look nearly as proficient. The offensive line undoubtedly aided his performance. meaningful than just another game closer to bowl eligibility. Fusco: Reesing was undoubtedly a little off. He missed his receivers quite a few times, and his 66-yard completion to Marcus Henry wasn't exactly a thing of beauty. But with loads of help from every other Jayhawk, Reesing certainly got the job done.

The vote on the electronic voting devices, commonly known as clickers, comes in the wake of a dispute over the accuracy of vote tallies at a full Senate meeting two weeks ago. The $4,000 to fund the clickers would come from the Student Senate reserve account, which consists of money from student fees. Matthew Shaw, Heidelberg, Germany, sophomore, freshman/sophomore College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Senator and author of the legislation to fund the clickers, said the $4,000 required to fund the clickers would mostly be a one-time registration cost. Once the registration is paid, Student Senate would be able to use the clickers for as long as it wanted. This is not the first time the legislation will Shaw said, that one of the many goals of using the clickers was to ensure accurate voting. "The number one benefit is that it creates a voting record," Shaw said. "Senators won't be able to say whatever they want about their voting record." Last year, Shaw and Mason Heilman, Lawrence sophomore and residential senator, co-authored two bills, which were sponsored by Adam McGonigle. Wichita sophomore and chair of the Senate Executive Committee. One bill put in the Senate rules and regulations that senators needed to vote using the clickers, the other bill funded the clickers. The bill to change the legislation passed, the bill to fund the clickers did not. Shaw said that he hopes the issue will be resolved tonight. "It's ironic that a bill designed to increase the speed and efficiency of Senate is taking such a slow and inefficient path," Shaw said. "It's been in the system forever" Shaw said that potential problems with the clickers have been accounted for within Senate, and the legislation ensures that senators can't vote on more than one clicker. The clickers would be kept in the Student Senate office when full Senate was not in session. Senators would check out their assigned clicker at the beginning of meetings and check it back in at the end of meetings. Curtis Hall, Geography lecturer, previously used the clickers in two courses he taught. He said he no longer used the clickers because of problems with them. Hall said that students had trouble registering with the system and were unable to be graded for quizzes they took using the clickers. He also said that he didn't see a problem with Senate using the clickers and that there were benefits to using them in the classroom. "The executive staff is looking for direction," McGonigle said. "We care not so much about whether or not we have clickers, but we care about getting this resolved and starting to focus on issues outside of our office." 10 Photo illustration by Anna Faltermer and Berenna Hawley "You can attempt to teach a point and ask immediately for feedback," Hall said. McGonigle said he anticipates that the clicker legislation will be resolved tonight.

ENTERTAINMENT West accuses MTV of exploitation ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Kanye West blames MTV for Britney Spears' less than stellar performance at the Video Music Awards. "Man, they were just trying to get ratings, and they knew she wasn't ready and they exploited her," the 29-year-old rapper said Tuesday on Sirius Satellite Radio's "The Morning Mash Up." The network made a "bad move" by having the troubled pop star open Sunday's event in Las Vegas, said West, who feels he should have kicked off the show with "Stronger," the first single from his new album, "Graduation." "They exploited her, they played me and I really don't mess with MTV' he said. Spears, 25. looked unprepared while performing her new song, "Gimme More," to a bewildered audience of her music industry peers. She seemed nervous and, at times, stopped singing altogether. West said he wanted to perform "Stronger" on the show's main stage — where R&B hot-shot Chris Bott moves — but complied when he was asked to host a suite party. West said it was a blow to the ego when Justin Timberlake, who also hosted a suite party, ended up "on "Man, they were just trying to get ratings, and they knew she wasn't ready and they exploited her." shot Chris Brown wowed the crowd, with Michael Jackson-esque dance KANYE WEST Rapper the big stage" to give the closing performance with Timbaland and Nelly Furtado. stadiums," he said. MTV spokesman David French didn't immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press seeking comment. West — who threw a tantrum backstage after losing all five categories for which he was nominated — said he has bonded with 50 Cent over what they view as disrespectful behavior from MTV. "So why do you have me do 'Stronger' in a suite, but you end the show with Justin?" he said. "I looked at 50 like, we, you need to help each other as much as possible." 50 Cent has said hed stop making solo records if West's new album outsells his "Curtis" CD in their first week out.

ODD NEWS Senior citizen fends off would-be mugger BAY SHORE, N.Y. — A tire iron-wielding man who police said was looking to mug a senior citizen probably thought he found an easy target — that is, until the 74-year-old fought back. Bruce Ferraro had no idea someone was following him as he walked out of a department store at the South Shore Mall on Saturday and got into his car, police said. But then a man pounded on Ferraro's window and demanded cash. "Ferraro says, 'What, are you kidling me? and he actually gets out of the car, 'Suffolk County Detective Sqt. Thomas Groneman said. The mugger demanded Ferraro hand over his wallet, calling the Bay Shore resident an "old man" and threatening to hit him with the tire iron, Groneman said. Instead, Ferraro grabbed the bar and the two fought, until the septaugenarian managed to snatch away the tire iron, police said. Groneman said Ferraro did "a good job" of disarming his would-be assailant, though he would not recommend other people attempt such a brazen act of self-defense. Without the weapon, the 32-year-old suspect ran to his car and attempted to drive away, police said. But the vehicle stalled, and the man got out of the car and fled on foot. Ferraro later helped police identify the suspect. The man was arrested later Saturday at his home in West Babylon. Police charged him with attempted robbery and he was being held on $10,000 bail in Riverhead. Scientists mourn loss of research parrot Ferraro's only injury was a scrape on the wrist. WALTHAM, Mass. — Alex, a parrot who could count to six, identify colors and even express frustration with repetitive scientific trials, has died after 30 years of helping researchers better understand the avian brain. The cause of Alex's death was unknown. The African Grey parrot's average life span is 50 years, Brandeis University scientist Irene Pepperberg said. She said Alex was discovered dead in his cage Friday but she waited to release the news until this week so grieving researchers could get over the shock and talk about it. "It's devastating to lose an individual you've worked with pretty much every day for 30 years," Pepperberg told The Boston Globe.

Tickets are $6 for students, $8 for seniors, and $10 for others. She said this year's new 40-foot-long buses were necessary to provide more space because of high ridership. According to Davis, KU on Wheels will also need the longer buses for more room if the University moves to unlimited access instead of the $1 fee or bus pass system. Davis also said KU on Wheels would buy even more new buses for fall 2008.

This is the first year that SILC has done the online registration. Before, students had to turn in a form with the signatures of their president, vice president, treasurer and adviser. Now one officer of the group can sign them up online, and then an e-mail is sent to the rest of the officers for their confirmation. "We wanted to provide a smoother and more accessible way for people, so they don't have to worry about getting a form, and getting signatures," said Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of SILC. Quisenberry said so far 295 groups had registered for the 2007-2008 school year. Though SILC usually has more than 500 groups registered, this is about a 30 percent increase from the amount of groups registered at this time last year. After Sept. 15, all groups that haven't re-registered will be dropped from the SILC database. "We've had a few electronic kinks," Quisenberry said. "But we've received pretty good feedback from the groups." Dennis Golden, president of the Phi Alpha Delta Law School chapter, said registering online was easier. "It was pretty quick, and I didn't have to do much, so it was probably better," Golden said. Students with registered groups can also go online and see the results of the freshmen Summer Interest Survey for their group. This tells them which students are interested in joining. "We were able to put together a spreadsheet of all the students who were interested and contact them that way," said Brad Ingber, president of the KU Marketing Club. Student organizations that still need to re-register can go to www. SILC.ku.edu or call their office at 864- 4861. Edited by Luke Morris AL-QAIDA Osama bin Laden releases video on 9/11 BY LEE KEATH ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO, Egypt — Osama bin Laden urged sympathizers to join the "caravan" of martyrts as he praised one of the Sept. 11 suicide hijackers in a new video that emerged Tuesday to mark the sixth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Al-Qaida traditionally issues a video every year on the anniversary, with the last testament of one of the 19 hijackers involved in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. This year's video showed hijacker Waleed al-Shehri addressing the camera and warning the U.S.: "We shall come at you from your front and back, your right and left." The new message, which AP Television obtained from the IntelCenter monitoring group in suburban Washington, came days after the world got its first current look at bin Laden in nearly three years, with the release of a video Saturday in which the terror leader addressed the American people. Later it appeared on militant Web sites, with a note from al-Qaida's media production wing al-Sahab saying it was intentionally sent to television stations before being placed on the Internet. It begins audio from bin Laden. The video shows a still image of him, raising his finger. In the image, bin Laden has the same dyed-black beard and the same clothes, a white robe and cap and beige cloak, hat he had in Saturday's video. It was not known if the audiotape was recently made. Al-Qaida has used footage and audio of bin Laden taped long ago for release later. In the tape, bin Laden praised al-Shreyi, saying that Arab rulers were "vassals" of the West and had "abandoned the balance of (Islamic) revelation. It is true that this young man was little in years, but the faith in his heart was big," he said. "So there is a huge difference between the path of the kings, presidents and hypocritical Ulama (Islamic scholars) and the path of these noble young men," like al-Shehri, bin Laden said. "The formers' lot is to spoil and enjoy themselves whereas the latters' lot is to destroy themselves for Allah's Word to be Supreme. "It remains for us to do our part. So I tell every young man among the youth of Islam: It is your duty to join the caravan (of martyrs) until the sufficiency is complete and the march to aid the High and Omnipotent continues," he said. After bin Laden speaks, the video of al-Shehri appears. Al-Shehri — one of the hijackers on American Airlines Flight 11, which hit the World Trade Center — is speaking in front of images of the burning World Trade Center. "We shall come at you from your front and back, your right and left," al-Shehri said, asserting that America would suffer the same fate as the Soviet Union. He praised the losses the U.S. suffered in Somalia 1993. "As for our own fortune, it is not in this world," he said. "And we are not competing with you for this world, because it does not equal in Allah's eyes the wing of a mosquito." We We the People of the United States ...

The programs include spring break programs in Toledo, Spain, and Rome and a winter break program in Mexico. The winter break program in Mexico is offered through the department of design and will travel to three different cities in Mexico: Mexico City, Puebla and San Miguel de Allende. Lois Greene, professor in the department of design and the faculty adviser for the trip, said that traveling to the three cities would offer exposure to a range of Mexican arts and crafts. "We want to see the influence from the past that influenced Mexico and what the people of Mexico did with what they saw," Greene said. Greene said the program would be relatively small this year, with only about 12 students and one faculty adviser, but the department hoped to expand the program in the future. The spring break program in Toledo is offered through the department of Spanish. Students must be enrolled in the "Medieval Spanish Studies" class for the spring semester, and will have the option to travel to Toledo during spring break. Angela Dittrich, associate director in the Office of Study Abroad, said the spring break program in Rome would not be tied to a semester-long class, but would require several meetings before students left. The program is run through the departments of history of art and architecture, and will focus on the study of Baroque art and architecture. In addition to the three new programs, a winter break Marine Biology program will be announcing its return to Bonale, part of the Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. James Thorp, professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, said that he felt Bonaire was a better place to study marine biology than previous places the program had traveled to. "You can see a greater diversity of marine life in Bonaire," Thorp said. "The diving is easier because you can dive from the shore and don't necessarily have to take a boat out." Thorp said that students interested in going on the trip needed to receive a certification in scuba diving immediately. Dittrich said the fair would also offer information about the other semester, year-long and internship programs offered by the Office of Study Abroad. Organizations outside of the University that offer study abroad programs will also attend the fair to answer questions about their programs. Dittrich said that students who recently studied abroad would attend the fair to answer questions about their experiences. "That student was in their shoes a year ago and can give insight into what to expect," Dittrich said. In addition to attending the fair, Dittrich said that students interested in studying abroad should make an appointment in the Office of Study Abroad to discuss their plans. The study abroad fair is today on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.studyabroad. ku.edu. -Edited by Luke Morris study abroad programs TOLEDO - CITY OF MERGING CULTURES Credit 3 hours credit for Spanish 450 Must be enrolled in Spanish 450 during the spring semester Program Dates Approximate Cost Hogan Bates March 14, 2008 to March 23, 2008 Approximate Cost $1,980 plus airfare, some meals, books, passport and personal expenses Required prerequisites Completion of Spanish 340 and a 2.5 GPA ROME: BAROQUE SPEC- TACLE Credit 3 hours of credit for Architecture 600 or History of Art 505 Program Dates March 14, 2008 to March 22, 2008 Approximate Cost To be determined Required prerequisites Open to graduate and under-graduate students at the University who have had introductory coursework in the art and architecture of the Baroque period DESIGN IN MEXICO Credit 3 hours of credit for ADS 560 Program Dates Program Dates January 2, 2008 to January 14, 2008 Approximate Cost To be determined Required prerequisites Open to all undergraduate students at the University Source: KU Office of Study Abroad HEALTH Women talk sex, vaccines Healthcare professionals inform women about HPV BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com Prevention is the key, health professionals told students yesterday at a presentation about the sexually transmitted disease known as HPV. Watkins made Gardasil available last summer. The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and the Watkins Health Center presented "Critical Guth said it was crucial for women to get vaccinated as soon as possible because HPV could lead to cervical cancer. Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, urged students to talk about the issue with friends and family. Conversations: What Everyone Needs to Know about the HPV Vaccine" Tuesday afternoon. The presentation aimed at informing college women about the vaccine Gardasil and how it prevents HPV, or the human papillomavirus. "But nobody really wants to talk about it. No one says 'let's talk about vaginas on campus." MAY DAVIS Clay Center sophomore Kathy Guth, nurse practitioner at Watkins, studied the trial runs of Gardasil on female patients at KU. The University was one of 17 sites nationwide where the vaccine was studied before the Federal Drug Administration approved the drug. In 2000, the patients received the vaccine and were routinely checked for HPV. Six years later, the results were compiled and the vaccine proved useful. "It was phenomenal how effective the vaccine was." Guth said. "All of you that came today are already more knowledgeable about this than your friends," Rose-Mockry said. "I encourage you to bring this issue up in your living room." report that there are over 100 types of HPV; 30 of those are transmitted sexually. Approximately 20 million people are currently infected with HPV and at least 50 percent of sexually active men and women will get some form of HPV in their lives. Eighty percent of women will contract it before the age of 80. "That's a scary statistic," said Mai Do, Marketing Coordinator for the Watkins. "You could have HPV and not even know it." The Gardasil vaccine comes in a series of three shots taken over several months. It protects the body against the four types of HPV that cause approximately 70 percent of cervical cancers and 90 percent of genital warts. May Davis, Clay Center sophomore, said she attended the presentation because she wanted to be more informed about such a serious subject. "I found out through my sorority that a lot of my friends have gotten the vaccine," she said. "But nobody really wants to talk about it. No one says 'let's talk about vaginas on campus'" Aly Rodee, Wichita junior, also attended the event and said she was skeptical about the vaccine. "It hasn't been around very long, and they don't know the long-term affects yet," she said. "I want to be 100 percent sure before I get something injected in my body." Several states are currently looking at legislation that would make Gardasil vaccines mandatory in women. Opponents of Gardasil say it sends the message that women should be sexually active. Mai Do said she wasn't sure the legislation would pass in Kansas. "It's a controversial bill in conservative states like Kansas, because it involves admitting that young girls have sex," she said. "It is very similar to other vaccinations, but when you throw sex in the mix, parents don't want to go there." - Edited by Rachael Gray WAR ON TERROR U.S. military force little help to Iraqi government ADELPHI, Md. — It will take three to five years before Iraq's government is stable enough to operate on its own, according to the former commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, who said the surge of American forces has not solved the country's broader problems. In an interview with The Associated Press, retired Army Gen. John Abizaid said that beyond attacking the global threat of terrorism with military strength, the United States has done a poor job of applying the economic, political and diplomatic means to fight Islamic extremism. "I don't blame it on any people; Abizaid said Tuesday. "I just blame it on a bureaucratic system that has been unresponsive thus far to the challenges of the 21st century. We need to change that as a matter of national priority." Abizaid retired in May after nearly four years as the top officer at U.S. Central Command.

By becoming a CFA program partner the University can offer finance students the option to sit for the first level of the CFA exam, a three-year program that has a level exam each year. Each exam is 250 hours of study. The CFA exam benefits students interested in finance, portfolio management, investment research, advisory services or investment banking. Greg Green, a double-major in accounting and finance, said he hopes to pass the CFA exam and become a portfolio manager. "The CFA Institute is the most recognized and respected name for highly competitive jobs in the investment and banking industry," Green said. Universities wanting to become a CFA program partner must be an accredited school and have 15 credits of coursework available that cover the Candidate Body of Knowledge topics. The CBOK is a book that helps students test their knowledge and skills and ultimately, prepares them for the CFA exam. Some of the perks to being a CFA program partner include having access to CFA's custom curricul lum, samples of model programs, webcasts, and course syllabi samples. Mark Hirschey, the director of the University of Kansas' CFA program said, a student in the program can receive a scholarship for the Fort Smith School ment companies, mutual funds insurance companies, broker-dealer investment banks, consulting firms, and even research and academic institutions. The biggest percentage of charterholders, 25 percent, chose investment companies, and 16 percent chose broker-dealer investment banks. "Once you obtain the CFA "The CFA Institute is the most recognized and respected name for highly competitive jobs in the investment and banking industry." first level of the CFA exam. GREG GREEN Accounting and finance major Besides being qualified charterholders have an advantage for the future. Those who pass the exam become CFA Charterholders, many career options are available. Charterholders can choose from careers in invest- "If one reaches if one reaches the CFA Charterholder title, they will have a competitive advantage over other students with just a degree in finance", Hirschey said. Charter, you will have the groundwork to be qualified to work in almost any job in banking or investments." Green said. According to the Bureau Labor of Statistics, the finance industry is growing and demand for financial advisers is increasing, which means achieving a CFA Charter may be the only thing that sets someone above the rest. The overall employment for certain jobs in the finance industry will increase over the years, according to the Bureau. The increase is partly because baby boomers are starting to retire and an overall wealthier population. As the industry grows, so does the demand on universities to have the highest quality of education for students to progress in the field. Only 35 universities meet the CFA's standards, and they are listed on its Web site, www.CFAinstitute.com. "Having CFA is an advantage because it levels the playing field between candidates who might have otherwise had an advantage because of which school they attended," Green said. - Edited by Ashlee Kieler CRIME Woman sexually abused, held captive for days BY TOM BREEN ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLESTON, W.Va.

State, local and federal officials planned to meet later in the day to decide whether to file hate crime charges, Logan County sheriff's sgt. Sonya Porter said. An FBI spokesman in Pittsburgh, Bill Crowley, confirmed that the agency is looking into possible civil rights violations. The woman's abductors called her the N-word "every time they stabbed her."

Irina and Andriel Kartuzov drive away in their new UAZ-Patriot SUV, after they won the car as a grand prize in a regional contest titled "Give Birth to a Patriot on Russia's Independence Day." Ulyanovsk Gov. Sergel Monozov declared Sept. 12 a Day of Conception. CONTEST Holiday rewards conception BY MASHA STROMOVA ASSOCIATED PRESS ULYANOVSK, Russia — Don't be surprised if the streets are empty and curtains drawn in this central Russian region Wednesday as residents take up an offer by the regional governor to help stem Russia's demographic crisis. "If there's a good, healthy atmosphere at home within the family, if the husband and wife both love each other and their child, they will be in good spirits and that will extend to the workplace. So there will be a healthy atmosphere throughout the country," he told AP Television News. "The leadership [of the country] is interested in the family." Ulyanovsk Gov. Sergei Morozov has decreed Sept. 12 a Day of Conception and is giving couples time off from work to procreate. Couples who give birth nine months later on Russia's national day — June 12 — will receive money, cars, refrigerators and other prizes. It's the third year that the Volga River region, about 550 miles east of Moscow, has held the contest. Since then, the number of competitors — and the number of babies born — has been on the rise. Russia's population has dropped since the 1991 Soviet collapse, fed by declining birth rates, a low life expectancy, a spike in emigration, a frayed health care system and other factors. The country — the world's largest — now has just 141.4 million citizens, making it one of the most sparsely settled nations. And experts estimate the population could fall below 100 million by 2050. Just 311 women signed up to take part in the first competition, in 2005, and qualified for a halfday off from work. The Deadline is approaching...

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2007 PAGE 7A COMMENTARY Terrorist attacks not the only Sept.11 atrocity Coup anniversary a reminder of unjust policy DRAWING BOARD PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA Exactly 28 years before terrorist attacks claimed 3,000 lives in the United States, an event took place that would symbolize the terror endured by South American countries for decades to come. On Sept. 11, 1973, a military coup led by Augusto Pinochet overthrew the democratically-elected Chilean government of Salvador Allende and installed a brutal military dictatorship. The military and right wing of Chile opposed Allende because of his Marxist positions. Similar events happened in several South American countries around that period. In Brazil, a military coup had already occurred in 1964 under similar conditions, and in 1976 a military junta took power in Argentina. Because of the Cold War, the United States supported these right-wing military dictatorships and was involved in many ways. The United States recognized these authoritarian regimes, provided intelligence to them, trained various militaries—who would latter engage in torture and death squads—at the School of the Americas and, if ever needed, would've provided military support. All of this despite the human rights abuses and authoritarian measures taken by these governments. Although I was born two years after the dictatorship ended in Brazil, the horrors of that period are still in the public consciousness. Several figures in my life were affected by it, and South America as a whole is still scarred. My high school history teacher had a sister who was tortured. My dad's friend was "asked" to leave the country. My friend's dad had to hide a student militant in the countryside. Students and artists were specifically targeted because of their leftist tendencies and calls for democratization. Student leaders would disappear and be tortured or killed. These were people around my age now. Some of the torture methods included driving needles under fingernails, whipping the feet with bamboo sticks and electric shocks. Throughout high school I heard about Victor Jara, a Chilean musician and activist who was arrested, tortured and then gunned down because of his political views. And about Stuart Angel, a Brazilian student militant who, after being tortured, had his mouth tied to the exhaust pipe of a jeep and dragged behind it until his death. Every year there would be news about the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo weeping for their thousands of children who disappeared during Argentina's Dirty War. The healing process is still going on, especially since new information about that period is still surfacing. Distrust towards the military and police still exists, and anti-Americanism in the region is related with American involvement during that period—especially the hypocrisy of rhetorically supporting democracies and human rights, but in practice doing the exact opposite. That dark period has now passed, but it shouldn't be forgotten. However, it shouldn't be remembered only by the people who suffered it. The process of suffering, mourning and healing should be a global one if we truly want to avoid tragedies like this in the future. It may sound hopelessly utopian, but the prospect of a better world is deeply interconnected with the ability to sympathize and empathize with other people's suffering. Although we may disagree with everything else there is one thing we all have in common: we suffer. Only when we start valuing this human connection more than ideologies, politics and power struggles—whether they be colonialism, capitalism verses Communism or the War on Terror—will a more peaceful condition be possible. So, when we remember Sept. 11, 2001, let us also remember Sept. 11, 1973. De Oliveira is a Belo Horizonte, Brazil junior in journalism, history and peace and conflict studies. SO I HEARD THIS MORNING THAT THE U.S. IS SANCTIONING ERITREA FOR SPONSORING TERRORISM. WHO'S ERITREA? MUHAMMED AL-ERITREA. HE'S THE KING OF IRAN OR SOMETHING, RIGHT? THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT... THE LIBRARIAN YOUR PARENTS WARNED YOU ABOUT Mother Theresa's crisis of faith is an inspiration Struggling believers can find solace in the humanitarian's own personal struggle with doubt CASSIE GENTRY Apparently, Mother Theresa was a hypocrite and a liar. Those are just a few of the words that have sprouted up in reference to her newly released book of letters and journals that portray her spiritual doubts. The letters reveal her deep crisis of faith with quotes such as, "Where I try to raise my thoughts to heaven, there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives and hurt my very soul." resa than God's own son? These letters in no way undercut her works. Her works are only emphasized by the fact that she did not believe they were giving her a direct path into heaven. As any other deeply spiritual person, she questioned whether there was a heaven and whether or not she was the type of person who could get in. But even Jesus had his doubts while on the cross. Why are we expecting more of Mother The- Time magazine compares her letters and journals with her Nobel Prize speech, calling them "extravagantly dissonant" and remarking that her works contradicted her feelings and letters. It portrays her as being hypocritical. I have to disagree. Never did Mother Theresa say, "You should be more like me," or "You should love God and your faith the way that I do." Her recommendations and reproaches are no less helpful because she was not a perfect example of faith. They are even more important because she knew what it was like to feel like God was not there. If anything, Mother Theresa now seems more holy and self-sacriplishing. How amazing that even though she was having a very deep crisis of faith, even though she believed that God was not with her, she still gave her whole life to the church and to helping the less fortunate. How many of us, in our happy and untroubled lives, do a fraction of what she did in the throes of a dark unhappiness? It would be unbelievable if, constantly surrounded by the dying, the sick and the poor, she never doubted God's existence. How many Christians have wondered why God lets horrible things happen to good people or even bad people? That doesn't make them "bad" Christians. We are all just trying to quantify and understand something that cannot be explained. Mother Theresa herself understood the potential evils of these letters being publicly released without realizing the ways it could help those struggling with their faith. She had requested all her letters and journals be destroyed upon her death, but her church overrode her request. Obviously, the church, as I do, saw their potential for helping doubting Christians. A professor at KU once told me, "We will never know if there is a God until we die. You can spend your whole life believing there is and working towards heaven, and if you're wrong, you're disappointed. Or, you can believe that this is all you get and only live for yourself, and if you're wrong, you end up in hell for eternity. It's obvious what the best bet is." Even though she had her doubts, Mother Theresa merely took the best bet. I hope it panned out for her and that it will for me as well. Gentry is a Kansas City junior in English and pre-medicine. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Acts of kindness don't go unnoticed To the Editors, I never thought I would be writing one of these letters, but due to circumstances beyond my control, here it is.

Despite the violence, U.S. officials urged Israel to show restraint, fearing heavy action in Gaza, which is controlled by the Islamic militant Hamas, could jeopardize new momentum in peace efforts with the Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has faced growing calls to respond to the near-daily rocket attacks out of Gaza. Israel limited its response to brief, limited ground incursions and airstrikes aimed at rocket squads. Late Tuesday, Israeli aircraft destroyed a rocket launcher in northern Gaza, witnesses said. No one was hurt. After Tuesday's attack, along with a rocket last week that exploded near a nursery school in the southern town of Sderot, many Israelis are growing impatient. "The question is not whether to create deterrence, but when." Public Security Minister Avi Dichter, a member of Olmert's ruling Kadima party, told Israeli Radio. Olmert held a regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday with top security officials, where they discussed the attack. Officials said Israel decided to hold off on major military action for now, though it might step up air attacks on militants. The officials, speaking on con dition of anonymity because the meeting was closed, said Israel is hesitant about opening a second front at a time of rising tensions with Syria. Israeli military officials confirmed Tuesday that the army is on high alert along the Syrian border amid allegations by Syria that Israeli aircraft entered Syrian airspace last week. Israel has refused to comment on last Thursday's incident. The army is also reluctant to mobilize large numbers of troops during the Jewish New Year holiday, which begins Wednesday. Officials also are wary of damaging recent progress in peace efforts ahead of the U.S.-sponsored peace conference, expected in November. In a routine measure, the military ordered the closure of Israel's borders with the West Bank and Gaza ahead of the New Year holiday. The statement did not say when the closure, banning Palestinians from Israel, would be lifted, but said some exceptions would be made, mostly for humanitarian cases. Some Israeli leaders have urged Israel to consider non-military steps, such as cutting off fuel and power to Gaza. "I think we have tools to do this, tools that are not only military," Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told reporters. In Washington, the State Department urged restraint. ASSOCIATED PRESS "We would only counsel in this case, Israel, which has suffered injuries and losses as a result of attacks, to take into consideration the effects of what they might do in self defense on the overall political process," spokesman Sean McCormack said.

Israel has no relations with Hamas, which it considers a terrorist group, while it has embraced a new pro-Western government formed by Abbas in the West Bank. Abbas has repeatedly condemned the rocket fire, saying it threatens the peace process. But he holds little sway in Gaza. The rocket exploded in the army base around 2 a.m. Tuesday, spraying shrapnel that wounded more than 40 soldiers as they slept at a base just north of the Gaza border. One soldier was in critical condi- responsibility for the rocket attack. But Israel held Hamas responsible for the violence, since it has done nothing to halt the attacks. "It doesn't matter which terror group took responsibility. Gaza is "The question is not whether to create deterrence, but when." tion and 11 others were in serious condition, the army said. The army said its ground forces struck back at the area militants used for the attack. A Gaza Health Ministry official, Dr. Moaiya Hassainain, said four civilians, including two children, were wounded. AVI DICHTER Public security minister Two small extremist groups, Islamic Ihad and the Popular Resistance Committees, claimed totally controlled by Hamas, and it has the ability to stop this and decided not to," said Livni, the Israeli foreign minister. Fawzi Barhoum praised Tuesday's attack as a "victory from God." In Gaza City and in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, youths in Islamic Jihad scarves and T-shirts handed out sweets to motorists in celebration. Olmert and Abbaas held the latest in a series of meetings Monday, agreeing to set up senior negotiating teams. The sides hope to reach a general outline of a final peace deal in time for the conference. The leaders have been meeting one-on-one and released few details about their discussions. Palestinian officials said Tuesday that Abbas has hinted of progress on two of the most contentious issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; which territories that Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war will become part of a future Palestinian state and how the disputed holy city of Jerusalem will be shared, the officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity since they were not authorized to discuss diplomacy with the media. But Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, a confidant of Abbas, said talk that the leaders have agreed on principles or documents are baseless. "The only thing they have agreed upon is to form a Palestinian-Israeli team to begin working on how to tackle these core issues," he said. SCANDAL BY JEFF KAROUB ASSOCIATED PRESS STARRING Wrongly-fired policemen awarded DETROIT — Two former police MARY JANE CANYON, SWEAT WILLIE, & LINDSEE BRIARWOOD Sexon the Hill 07 coming Sept 20th UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN officers were awarded $6.5 million on Tuesday in a whistle-blower lawsuit that alleged extramarital affairs by the mayor and other deeds by his security unit. about his spending, including the use of city credit cards for expensive out-of-town travel and the city lease of a luxury sport utility vehicle for his family. The Wayne County Circuit Court jury agreed that Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and the city unlawfully dismissed the officers and violated the state's Whistleblower Protection Act. Kilpatrick, 36, denied the allegations against him said the city would appeal the verdict. Harold Nelthrope said he sued after Kilpatrick's administration released a confidential police memo naming him as a source of allegations of misconduct by other bodyguards. Nelthrope said he was transferred out of the security detail and couldn't return to work out of fear for the safety of him and his family. He described escorting the mayor to trysts with Christine Beatty, Kilpatrick's chief of staff, and other women. Kilpatrick, a married father of three, and Beatty denied the allegations in court. "I'm absolutely blown away at this decision. I know Detroiters are, too," he said, adding it wouldn't affect his mayoral duties.

First, the Jayhawks had a couple of blowouts, scoring 52 points in game one against Central Michigan and a measly 62 against Southeastern Louisiana. Second, there's no quarterback controversy, or at least not yet. I could start one, but won't because Todd Reesing is really good. Winner by a wingspan So is that a bad thing? Kansas hasn't played the most highly touted teams, but they haven't even come close to pulling a Michigan either ... knock on wood. This Saturday when Toledo comes to Memorial Stadium the thousands in attendance will expect another "easy" win. I know I do. The same goes for next week's opponent Florida International. The only way the Panthers have a shot is if Alex Galino decides to be quarterback for a game. Everyone says the Jayhawks have a weak non-conference schedule and should have had some kind of a challenge to prepare them for their Big 12 conference schedule. But who is to say that these games aren't helping them? The Kansas defense has only allowed seven points in two games and the offense is averaging 519 yards per game. It makes no difference who Kansas played, if the defense can The Jayhawks haven't started a season 4-0 since 1995, which was 12 long years ago thanks to a setback by one Terry Allen. hold two different teams to seven points or less and the offense puts up 14 touchdowns in two games, something must be working right. The layhawks haven't started a season 4-0 since 1995, which was 12 long years ago thanks to a setback by one Terry Allen. This could be the year that the slump is finally broken. Kansas should have a perfect record going into its first conference game against Kansas State. With an extra week to prepare for the Wildcats, the Jayhawks have every right to think that far less things can be achieved. Every week each player spouts the cliché that they are taking things one game at a time and not looking toward the future. But Oct. 6 has to be in the back of their minds. If they won't talk about the next important game, I will. Last year, KU beat Kansas State easily in a 39-20 victory. It might not be as easy this year, but there isn't any reason why the Jayhawks shouldn't win. The next two weeks will be fun to watch as the football team racks up points like it has been. In the meantime, despite the schedule, at least we know we aren't winless like a couple of supposed football powerhouses, Michigan and Notre Dame.

Andrew Wacker/KANSAN V FOOTBALL Receivers vital to revamped offense Talib evolves into dual-threat player BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Aqib Talib's goal coming into the season was to intercept 10 passes. But two games into Kansas' 2007 schedule the junior cornerback is on pace to reach the milestone in a different statistical category. Talib, a team captain, has already caught two touchdown passes as a wide receiver. "He's such a talented guy and you've got to get your best guy on the field." Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "There's no question about his ability and you can't help but use him on offense." SWITCHING SIDES Talib has lined up on offense for less than five plays on the season, but every time he's made an impact. Talib has three catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns, placing him as the jayhawks fourth leading receiver. Mangino said if it were up to Talib, he would never come off of the field. His attitude and playmaking ability put Mangino in a tough situation because he has to balance Talib's playing time between both sides of the ball. "We've got to be smart and pick and choose our battles because he's a key guy on defense," Mangino said. "Every once in a while, I get the urge to pull him back up and I've just got to fight it." One Jayhawk who certainly wouldn't mind seeing Talib on offense more often is sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing. Although Reesing is already blessed with one of the Big 12's deepest receiving corps, no one on the roster is quite Talib.

The senior wide receiver has stepped up his game, and is on pace to break KU's season records for receiving and receiving vards. Humble senior shines in final season BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com The senior wide receiver lined up in the slot and served as the third option in a Kansas offense that relied mainly on veteran receivers like Brian Murph and Mark Simmons. Now that Henry is the resident veteran of the receiving corps, he is making his mark on Kansas Football. For three years, Marcus Henry flew under the radar. "He has really improved his game tremendously," Kansas coach Mangino said. "He's gotten a little better every year that he been with us, but this year he really just has a good feel for things. He's more confident than he's ever been." Henry may be confident, but he isn't cocky or overly self-assured. The Lawton, Okla., native speaks quietly — quietly enough to have earned the nickname "Mute" from teammates — and usually punctuates each statement by praising the performance of a teammate. Despite his low-key demeanor, it's a wonder he slipped by largely unnoticed for the first three-quarters of his college career. At 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, Henry presents the ultimate in match-up problems for most opponents. He is fast enough to beat many cornerbacks deep down the sideline, tall enough to snare a stray pass and opportunistic enough to make big plays out of nowhere. In the first two games of the 2007 season, Henry has done all of that and more.

"I believe there will be some permanent neurologic deficit." Also Receiving Votes: How Sports Editor Travis Robinett Voted Cappuccino and officials at Millard Fillmore Gates Hospital did not immediately return several messages left with them by the AP. 7. Oklahoma — What was that I heard about Miami's "stifling" defense? The Sooners apparently knew nothing about it. 6. Wisconsin — The Badgers won on the road, which is always a nice win. 1. LSU — The Tigers have easily triumphed against legitimate competition. 8. California — The No.1 contender in the Pac 10 to USC's title, right in front of UCLA, although Oregon made a statement at the Big House. In a report Tuesday evening, Buffalo's WIVB-TV quoted Cappuccino as saying: "We may be witnessing a minor miracle." Bills owner Ralph Wilson said the team has been in contact from the beginning with Green and the Miami Project, the university's neurological center that specializes in spinal cord injuries and paralysis. 2. USC — If the Trojans blow out the Cornhuskers, who are overrated, then they will have showed me something. 9. Texas — Only played one quarter of good football in a scare against TCU, but wow, it was really good. 4. West Virginia — The Mountaineers did what every good team should do when challenged by a lesser foe; put them away in the fourth quarter. Everett's agent, Brian Overstreet, also said Everett's mother told him the player moved his arms and legs when awakened from a deeply sedated sleep. "I don't know if I would call it a miracle. I would call it a spectacular example of what people can do," Green said. "To me, it's like putting the first man on the moon or splitting the atom. We've shown that if the right treatment is given to people who have a catastrophic injury that they could walk away from it." Green said the key was the quick action taken by Cappuccino to run an ice-cold saline solution through Everett's system that put the player in a hypothermic state. Doctors at the Miami Project have demonstrated in their laboratories that such action decreases the damage to the spinal cord due to swelling and movement. 3. Florida — Every game is a must-win game in college football, but the Gators HAVE to win at home this weekend. 5. Louisville — A suspect defense, but also a seemingly unstoppable offense. MLB standings 10. UCLA — Experience matters, just ask the Bruins.

And while it may seem odd that the freshman libero/defensive specialist would share a pre-game moment with the competition, it isn't at all when you realize that the opponent is Townshend's older sister, Leslie. Leslie, Melissa and the entire Townsend family will be present for the Big 12 Conference opener. Kansas will host Kansas State at 7 p.m. at the Horeysi Family Athletics Center. "My mom bought like 40 tickets," the younger Townsend said. "Cousins, anuts, uncles — they're all going to be there." Melissa always followed in her older sister's footsteps. Both sisters played volleyball at Shawnee Heights High School in Topeka and helped Shawnee PETRA MICHAEL Townsend Heights finish second at the 5A state volleyball tournament, Leslie in 2003 and Melissa in 2006. But when it came time to choose a college, Melissa took a different route. Even though Leslie had been at Kansas State for three seasons Melissa decided that Kansas was where she wanted to be. "When I came down here it seemed like they really wanted me around." Townsend said. "Everybody made me feel really comfortable." Early in her freshman season, Melissa has earned a role off the bench. Once or twice a game, Coach Ray Bechard will substitute her in to serve, and she responded with the first ace of her career against the University of Wyoming last Friday. "My sister's really excited for me because she wanted me to have the opportunity to play as fast as 1 could," Melissa said. KANSAS BUILDS MOMENTUM Kansas comes into tonight's match riding a five-match winning streak. The Jayhawks, 7-3, began their winning streak with a 3-1 win against Missouri State on Sept. 6, then followed that with a 3-0 win against UMKC. The Jayhawks racked wins against St. Peters, 3-0, Wyoming, 3-2, and Morehead State, 3-0, in last weekend's Jayhawk Classic. According to senior Emily Brown, the streak isn't the team's focus at the moment. "No matter what streak you're on, with KU playing K-State, you're going to be ready to play," Brown said. Brown was named MVP of last weekend's Jayhawk Classic and averaged 7.45 assists per game. Freshmen lead the Jayhawks in two key statistics after 10 matches. Outside hitter Jenna Kaiser is averaging 2.47 kills per game. Melissa Manda amassed 3.73 digs per game. With Kaiser, Manda, and fellow freshmen Townshend and Karina Garlington getting playing time, Brown said she has tried to prepare the newcomers for the rigors of the Big 12 conference. "We've tried to talk about it a little bit when we've struggled in some games that, hey, in the Big 12, this isn't going to work," Brown said. K-STATE A CHALLENGE Bechard has good reason to be impressed with Kansas State. The 10th year coach said he thought that Kansas State was the third best team in the Big 12 behind Nebraska and Texas. Sixty NCAA coaches ranked Kansas State 19th in the latest CSTV/AVCVA Volleyball rankings. Nebraska is ranked No. 1 and Texas No. 7. With an 8-2 record and a victory against No. 14 Cal Poly, Kansas State has the team to support Béchard's claim. Kansas State's only tosses were against No. 5 UCLA and No. 16 Hawaii at the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Classic in Honolulu. "We'll see a whole new level of physicality over the next 20 matches," Bechard said. "That's what we'll have to deal with more than anything." Kansas State junior Nataly Korob'ova leads the Wildcat offense with 4.55 kills per game, while fellow junior Rita Liliom has added 3.57 kills per game. Senior Angie Lastra has been Kansas State's top defensive player, averaging 4.20 digs per game. INJURIES MOUNT Junior Natalie Uhart will likely miss her seventh straight match against Kansas State. Uhart suffered an injury on Aug. 31 against Michigan State and hasn't played since. Uhart, who transferred to Kansas from Long Beach State before last season, has been plagued by injuries throughout her time at Kansas. Uhart missed all of last season with a knee injury. Brown has been suffering from a nagging ankle injury but did not miss any time this past weekend. Bechard said that Brown and the rest of his team just needed a few days off after playing three games in two days. Game Time Location Kansas vs. Kansas State 7 p.m. Horejsi Family Athletics Center Last Year: Kansas split two games with Kansas State in 2006, winning 3-1 at home while falling 3-0 in Manhattan. Up Next: Kansas will travel to Norman, Okla., on Saturday, Sept. 15, to play Oklahoma at 11 a.m. Kansas lost twice to the Sooners in 2006, 3-0 at Oklahoma and 3-1 at home. 》 WOMEN'S GOLF Jayhawks place fifth in Nebraska BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com When the University of Kansas Women's Golf team concluded the first round of play at the University of Nebraska's Chip-N-Club Invitational on Monday, it was tied for fifth. Despite improving scores during the following 36 holes, the team was unable to move up the leader board, and finished in sole possession of fifth after all 54 holes of play. Kansas' team score of 921 strokes put the team 24 strokes behind tournament champions Texas State. Solid performances by sophomore Emily Powers and senior Annie Giangrosso powered Kansas to a top five finish despite being BROOKLYN P. S. M. unable to gain ground in the final two rounds. Giangrosso Powers finished with an 11-over-par 224, tying her for 11th overall, while Giangrosco finished with a 14-over-par 227 to tie for 13th. The remaining three golfers included in the team's score were sophomore Meghan Gockel and freshmen Megna Bal and Sydney Wilson. Each struggled to find consistency, but played well enough to maintain Kansas' foothold on fifth place. Members of the Kansas Women's Golf team practice their iron shots to improve their game.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The University of Kansas 4B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2007 HENRY (CONTINUED FROM 1B) player for us," Mangino said. "The last couple of years he was always what you'd call a solid player. Now he's kind of taken his game to the next level where he's a factor in the games" Henry reeled in seven catches for 103 yards against Central Michigan and five more for 119 yards last week against Southeastern Louisiana. His 222 receiving yards place him third in the Big 12 Conference behind two players from the pass-oriented Texas Tech offense. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing, who is quickly becoming a star at the same time as Henry, has clearly found a favorite target in Kansas' new offensive scheme. Though many Jayhawk receivers swap in and out at the other wide-out position, Henry is a constant in the lineup, and for good reason — he fits into the new offense perfectly. "The last couple of years he was always what you'd call a solid player. Now he's kind of taken his game to the next level where he's a factor in the games." "Our offensive system this year is different," Henry said. "We're getting the ball out to the receivers a little more this year, so any receiver on the team can have a 100-yard game with the way this offense is built." THE RIGHT TIME "This year it just feels different," Henry said. "Just knowing it's my senior year and this is my last time going around. I just want to take advantage of everything." Despite the fact that Henry humbly said his success is a product of the system, there could be more to his breakout season. That could catch some casual observers off guard, but it would not surprise his teammates, who voted Henry is making the most of his opportunities up to this point. He is on pace for more than 70 receptions and 1,300 yards, marks that would eclipse the current Kansas single-season records. If he continues on his current pace, national attention will inevitably follow. MARK MANGINO Football coach him most likely to surprise in a preseason poll. When asked about the honor, Henry chose to deflect some of the praise back to his teammates. "Id congratulate them for picking me for that, but anybody on the team could be a big surprise with the way our offense is made up," Henry said. "We have a lot of young people out there playing and anybody could be a surprise." Marcus Henry has lived up to his teammates' prediction through the first two games of 2007. That leaves 10 more opponents for the Kansas wide receiver to catch off guard. — Edited by Luke Morris by the numbers Marcus Henry, senior WR, 6'4", 210 lbs. 2006: Receptions Yards Long Avg.

TALIB (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Reeing said that Talib helps the offense even when he's not catching the ball. He also works as a great decoy to draw defenders away from other receivers. "His presence on the field really gets people alerted," Reesing said. but when Aqib goes in we all look up and say 'Alright, we've got Aqib in, we've got to watch', senior linebacker Joe Mortensen said. "I'm excited for him." The opposing defensive players aren't the only ones noticing when the Richardson, Texas native trots out to his position at slot receiver. It also grabs the attention of all the Jayhawks. THE CATCHES This season isn't the first time Kansas has used Talib as a receiver. The Jayhawks began tinkering with the idea at the end of last season. Talib recorded his first career recen- "When Aqib goes in we all look up and say 'Alright we've got Aqib in, we've got to watch.'" "We usually don't pay that much attention to the offense because we are trying to figure out what we need to do, JOE MORTENSEN Kansas Linebacker tion in the final game against Missouri. It was a 42-yard touchdown catch on a screen pass. It didn't resemble the two touchdowns from this season because instead of catching a deep pass in stride, Talib juked his way through the Missouri defense. Against Central Michigan, Todd Reesing launched a 49-yard pass that Talib caught on a seam route in perfect stride for a touchdown. In the second quarter Saturday, Talib similarly took off toward the end zone, caught the Reesing pass around the five yard line then ran it in for another touchdown. "I think it was the exact same play we called last week and it was the same result," Talib said. "Todd threw a nice ball and I made a play on it." AS THE YEAR GOES ON This has been established: Aqib Talib knows how to find the end zone and knows how to provide a spark for his team. The only question now is how often he'll be used as the season progresses. Fans who are worried that Talib on offense may be some sort of non-conference schedule experiment can rest easy, because Mangino has no plans to stop now. "Aqib's number one priority is defense but there are some appropriate times that we think he could be helpful," Mangino said. "There will be days where we will need him for a few more snaps on offense. No question" Edited by Luke Morris touchdowns Aqib Talib's offensive career four catches, three touchdowns Nov. 25, 2006 at Missouri Tallb caught a screen pass from QB Kerry Meler then scampered for 42 yards and a touchdown. Sept. 1, 2007 vs. Central Michigan — QB Todd Reesing fired a 49-yard bullet that hit Talib right in stride for a touchdown. Sept. 8, 2007 vs. Southeastern Louisiana — On an play eerily similar to the previous week's, Talbh caught a 36-yard touchdown pass. MLB Cardinals extend losing streak to five Cincinnati defeats injury-prone St. Louis 7-2 with grand slam, solo homer BY JOE KAY ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — Adam Dunn hit a grand slam and a solo homer off Mark Mulder, and the Cincinnati Reds extended the St. Louis Cardinals' losing streak with a 7-2 victory Tuesday night. The defending World Series champions had dropped five in a row, matching their season high. After regrouping for an impressive comeback, the Cardinals have started unraveling down the stretch. They were $10\frac{1}{2}$ games out at the end of June, but had rallied to within a game of first place in the NL Central before they hit their current slump. The loss left them four games out, their biggest deficit since Aug. 24. One of the stars of their summer charge was a big reason this one slipped away. Right fielder Rick Ankiel let a fly ball drop for a double, then let another deflect off the heel of his glove for a two-run error during Cincinnati's six-run third inning. Dunn, who hit a solo homer in his first at-bat, hit his seventh career slam off Mulder (0-2) during the 10-batter inning. David Eckstein and Ryan Ludwick hit solo homers off Matt Belisle (8-8), who allowed six hits in seven innings. There was more bad news for St. Louis before the game. Outfielder Chris Duncan is out for at least 10 days — and possibly for the season — because of a sports hernia that will need surgery at some point. Also, third baseman Scott Rolen had season-ending shoulder surgery. The Cardinals' rotation was the foundation for their about-face. It's been a big part of their recent downturn. The 30-year-old Mulder hoped to shore it up by making his comeback from shoulder surgery last Sept. 12. He rejoined the club and gave up six runs in four innings of an 8-2 loss to Pittsburgh last Wednesday. He was hit hard in his second start, lasting only four innings again. The Reds piled up seven hits and seven runs, aided by Ankiel's misadventures. Ankiel was one of baseball's feel-good stories last month, when the failed pitcher made his return to the majors as a slugging outfielder. He hit a grand slam and drove in nine runs during a three-game sweep of the Reds from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. Since then, he's come under scrutiny for reports that he received shipments of human growth hormone in 2004, before it was banned by Major League Baseball. A few fans chanted "HGH!" when he came to bat and grounded out in the eighth, leaving him in an 0-for-17 slump. Ankiel's defense was the main problem on Tuesday.

EMILIO 11 ASSOCIATED PRESS D. C. United's Luciano Emilio celebrates a goal in D.C.'s 4-2 victory against the New England Revolution on Sunday. Emilio, from Brazil, leads Major League Soccer with 18 goals in 23 appearances. South America offers talent On Aug. 18 the largest crowd in Major League Soccer regular season history turned out to see the Los Angeles Galaxy face the New York Red Bulls The 66,237 people in attendance witnessed a wild 5-4 Red Bulls victory characterized by its open play and unpredictability. David Beckham created the hype that drew the massive crowd, but the Red Bull's Columbian striker, Juan Pablo Angel, shared the show. Angel started the scoring with a clever free kick driven beneath the leaping Galaxy wall that just evaded keeper Joe Cannon. After a dizzying 88 minutes, Beckham's regular season introduction appeared destined to end as entertaining but inconclusive. It was a 4-4 draw until Angel made his presence felt once again. His seemingly impossible finish of a loose ball on the Galaxy endline ended an incredible game the way it began. When, Angel, a former Aston Villa (English Premier League) and River Plate (Argentina) ace, made the jump from England this summer, he arrived in the U.S. with little fanfare despite a prolific career in Columbia, Argentina and England's top flights. Helped by a blistering start that included nine goals in his first seven matches, Angel's 14 goals tie him for second in MLS with Kansas City Wizard striker Eddie Johnson despite starting only 18 of the Red Bulls' 24 games. Despite his success, Angel trails yet another South American summer signing for the MLS's goal scoring lead: Brazilian Luciano Emilio, who has already exceeded lofty expectations after moving to D.C. United. Angel's performance came as no surprise to the few who actually follow MLS. In a league often criticized for its direct and uncreative play, Angel and other South Americans bring imagination and technical ability to MLS attacks. Although this season will always be known for the arrival of an English superstar, Angel and others are making it obvious that the class of MLS comes from South America's rich pool of talent. Emilio is helped by other South American teammates such as fellow Brazilian playmaker Fred, Bolivian forward Jaime Moreno FRIENDSHIP BY ANDREW WIEBE KANSAN COLUMNIST AWIEBE KANSAN.COM and Argentine midfielder Christian Gomez, MLS all-time leader scorer and 2006 MLS MVP Emilio leads MLS's most potent attack with 18 goals. D. C.'s South American attack force leads the league in scoring with 46 goals in 24 games, seven more than the New England Revolution. United have ridden their Latin-driven attack to 14 wins, four draws, only six losses and a lead in the race for MLS's top playoff seed. Along with Emilio, Fred has begun to establish himself as one of the most original offensive forces in the league. His six goals and five assists only show the measurable value he provides to D.C.'s attack. Fred's speed and technical skill adds elusiveness and incisive runs from the left wing that no club in MLS can replicate. Coupled with Gomez, Moreno and Emilio, D.C. is the prime example of how stockpiling South American talent can lead to success. The accomplishments of South American players have forced the rest of the league to follow D.C.'s example. Clubs now increasingly recognize South American leagues as a place to find reasonably priced talent who possess drastically different skill sets and abilities than their North American counterparts. Until the U.S. begins producing creative offensive players in numbers, South Americans represent a significant part of MLS's future. Constant increase in the quality of play is the only long term solution to boost the reputation and popularity of MLS. Scoring leaders like Angel and Emilio bring notoriety, but the contributions of lesser known players across MLS continues to improve overall quality little by little. By taking advantage of South America's player pool, and foreign talent in general, MLS is fueling its own growth. Without a deeper talent base to draw upon, the league cannot continue to show the improvement spurred by increased Carlos Marinelli (Argentina) The Kansas City Wizards attacking midfielder formerly played for the English Premier League's Middlesbrough FC and Boca Juniors. He has contributed one goal and five assists in a KC attack tied for third in MLS. publicity and profits generated by Beckham. South America could be the most effective source of skilled and affordable talent for MLS as the league looks to expand the number of clubs in the next few years. Juan Toja (Columbia) — Scored MLS All-Stars second goal against Celtic FC. Leads MLS in fouls committed by 14 despite being injured while also contributing six goals for FC Dallas. Denilson (Brazil) — The former World Cup winner signed as MLS's fifth designated player with FC Dalas, making his MLS debut on Sept. 1. He briefly held the title of most expensive footballer in the world after Real Betis purchased him for $40.5 million in 1998. Judging by the success of Angel and Emilio, the South American talent pool has plenty to offer. Notable South Americans Edited by Ashlee Kieler SOCCER Tough teams at World Cup BY STEPHEN WADE ASSOCIATED PRESS U.S. women tie with North Korea in competition opener CHENGDU, China — For those who thought the U.S.-North Korea matchup might be the best of the women's World Cup, they weren't disappointed. The United States rallied for a 2-2 draw Tuesday, with Heather O'Reilly scoring in the 69th minute in the Group B opener for both teams. It was end-to-end action in front of an enthusiastic crowd of 35,000. It was counterattacking. And it was the two quickest teams in the world facing each other: the top-ranked Americans against the best team in Asia. "I hope you enjoyed the game as much as I did," U.S. coach Greg Ryan said. "It was two great teams. North Korea is a fantastic team. had the feel of a final rather than a group-play opener. The final of the 16-team tournament is Sept. 30 in Shanghai. Abby Wambach gave the U.S. a 1-0 lead in the 50th minute with a long-range shot that goalkeeper Jon Myong-hui got her gloves to but was only able to deflect into the net. Minutes later, Wambach knocked heads with another player in a scramble around the goal and left the field with blood pouring from her face, leaving the Americans with 10 players. North Korea scored twice in her absence. Ryan made a decision not to replace her, which he almost regretted. "There were chances for the U.S. to win Guillermo Barros Schelotto (Argentina) — League leader In assists for the Columbus Crew.The former Boca Juniors legend has nine appearances for the Argentine national team during the course of his career. "I hope you enjoyed the game as much as I did. It was two great teams. North Korea is a fantastic team." and for North Korea to win," Ryan added. "We knew what a difficult group this would be — and it is proving to be very difficult." The Koreans scored twice while the U.S. was a player short for several minutes in the second half, before O'Reilly tied the match with a shot from about 10 yards into the top corner of the net. The United States extended its unbeaten streak to 47 games spanning $2 \frac{1}{2}$ years under Ryan. GREG RYAN Women's U.S. coach "It was a very tough call," he said. "The doctor said they could get her back within just a few minutes. Abby is such an important player to this team. I thought we could withstand playing 11 against 10. "I'm glad we got that last one after giving up the two." Kil Son-hui benefited from a goalkeeping error, as Hope Solo let a long shot slip through her hands in the wet conditions in the 58th minute. In the 62nd, Kim Yong-ae pounced on a rebound and shot it past Solo. Wambach returned in the 65th minute, and her return seemed to calm things for the Americans. O'Reilly scored minutes later with a clever shot using the outside of "The U.S. is the best in the world, but today they didn't perform to their maximum." North Korean coach Kim Kwang-min said. "This gave us a chance to see our level, and if we meet the Americans a next time we will have the tactics to beat the Americans. We are marching toward the target of a world title" her boot. Group B is the toughest in the World Cup with third-ranked Sweden and African champions Nigeria also playing for a spot in the quarterfinals. The Americans face Sweden on Friday and North Korea plays Nigeria. Despite its poise, the U.S. looked unnerved at times. North Korea pressed the Americans in the first half like few teams have. Keeping the ball on the slick turf, Ri Kum-suk lashed several shots just wide of Solo. Kim Yong-ae and Kim Kyong-hwa joined Ri, putting a half dozen more shots on goal that required saves. North Korea always countertacked, seldom waiting for a slow buildup. The Americans had trouble keeping possession, but still managed threats in spurts. They looked dangerous on several corners and free kicks. In open play, Lori Chalupain and O'Reilly tested Jon twice early in the game, and long crosses in from Cat Whitehill tended up the Korean defense. The best chance for the United States — maybe the best for either team in the first half — came in the 40th minute. Off a corner kick from Stephanie Lopez, Wambach's header went off the crossbar behind Jon and dropped inches in front of the goal before it was cleared.

Dominguez, riding for Toyota-United, found himself without any team members to help as he took the lead with about 300 yards to go. Second was Each Bell of Symmetries Cycling team, followed by Kyle Wamsley of Navigators Insurance Cycling. Tour de France champion Alberto Contador of Discovery Channel was 85th among the team of international riders who made the 85-mile circuit beginning and ending in Kansas City's Country Club Plaza. An estimated 40,000 spectators lined the streets and highways as the riders made their way through downtown Kansas City, along the Missouri River and through small towns in the sometimes-hilly country of northwest Missouri. Weather for Missouri's first foray into international racing was perfect — low winds, cloudless blue skies and warm temperatures in the mid-80s. Dominguez's average winning speed was 27,557 mph. "I was not expecting to see that climb there," Dominguez said. "It put my legs under a little bit of pressure. I started getting tired. I looked, and thought, 'I'm going to go and see what happens.' "And I started going and passing guys like they were standing there. I was like, 'Wow! this is great'" The six-day, 600-mile race started on Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, where fans applauded cycling heavyweights including Contador and American champion Levi Leipheimer, who had to pause for several minutes early in the race to replace a chain.

Royals give away victory 6-3 MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Scott Baker beat Kansas City for the third time this season, pitching the Minnesota Twins to a 6-3 victory Tuesday night that extended the Royals' losing streak to seven games. Alex Gordon went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a walk for the Baker, who carried a perfect game into the ninth inning of a shutout against Kansas City on Aug. 31, gave up three runs in 5 2-3 innings this time. He improved to 3-0 with a 1.59 ERA in three starts against the Royals this year, with 20 strikeouts and two walks in 22 2-3 innings. Baker (9-7) allowed 10 hits but got help from his bullpen. Joe Nathan worked a scoreless ninth for his 32nd save in 36 opportunities. Royals, who stranded 13 runners and equaled their longest losing streak of the season. The Twins took advantage of errors by first baseman Billy Butler in the first inning and left fielder Joey Gathright in the sixth to score two unearned runs off Kyle Davies (2-5). Butler's error on Joe Mauer's sharp grounder allowed Jason Bartlett to score from first. The Royals bunched together four hits in the second to score two runs. Mike Sweeney scored on Butler's groundout, and Jason LaRue's two-out single drove in Gordon. Kansas City left the bases loaded when Baker struck out Mark Grudzielanek. Grudzielanek and Mark Teaken hit consecutive doubles to give the Royals a 3-1 lead in the fifth, but Minnesota scored three in the sixth. Jason Kubel, who opened the inning with a walk and went to third on Mauer's double, scored on Torii Hunter's single to left, which Gathright misplayed as the ball got past him. Mauer scored on the error while Hunter raced to third. Justin Morneau's sacrifice fly off reliever John Bale put the Twins up 4-3. Davies pitched five-plus innings, giving up four hits while walking three and striking out four. The Twins added a run in the seventh when Mauer's sacrifice fly scored Alexi Casilla, who had a bunt single. Minnesota scored again in the ninth on Bartlett's RBI single. The Royals loaded the bases in the seventh, but Pat Neshek got pinch-hitter Ross Gload to ground into an inning-ending double play. BIG 12 FOOTBALL A Longhorn T-shirt spurs barroom brawl KANSAN.COM Post Comments | Join Discussions | Live Updates | Online Offers BY SEAN MURPHY ASSOCIATED PRESS "I've actually heard callers on talk radio say that this guy deserved what he put for wearing a Texas T-shirt into a bar in the middle of Sooner country," said Irven Box, an attorney in this city 20 miles from Oklahoma's campus in Norman. The shocking case has set off a raging debate in this football-crazed region about the extreme passions behind a bitter rivalry. Some legal observers have even questioned whether this case could ever truly have an impartial jury. That's exactly what touched off a bloody skirmish that left a Texashirt-wearing fan nearly castrated and an Oklahoma fan facing aggravated assault charges that could put him in prison for up to five years. OKLAHOMA CITY — To some Oklahoma football fans, there are things that just aren't done in the heart of Sooner Nation, and one of them is to walk into a bar wearing a Texas Longhorns T-shirt. According to police, 32-year-old Texas fan Brian Christopher Thomas walked into Henry Hudson's Pub on June 17 wearing a Longhorns T-shirt and quickly became the focus of football "trash talk" from another regular, 53-year-old Oklahoma fan Allen Michael Beckett. Thomas told police that when he decided to leave and went to the bar to pay his tab, Beckett grabbed him in the crotch, pulled him to the ground and wouldn't let go, even as bar patrons tried to break it up. When the two men were separated, Thomas looked down and realized the extent of his injuries. It took more than 60 stitches to close the wound, and police interviewed Thomas at a nearby hospital emergency room. "He could see both of his testicles hanging on the outside of his body," said Thomas' attorney, Carl Hughes. "He was wearing a pair of white shorts, which made it that much worse."

HIGHLIGHTS Wide receiver — Randy Moss switched jerseys again this offseason and apparently it was enough to revert him back to his Minnesota form. He opened up the season with nine catch, 183 receiving yards and one touchdown catch. It will be interesting to see whether Moss can maintain this level of play throughout the season. But who will be able to stop that New England offense? PETER SCHNEIDER Quarterback — Tony Romo shook off his playoff hangover from the Cowboys' loss to the Seattle Seahawks last year. Romo threw BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM for 345 yards, four touchdowns, ran for a touchdown and had only one interception, all with only 15 completions. The Cowboys looked as impressive as any team in the NFC on Sunday. Tight end — Antonio Gates looked like San Diego's best offensive weapon against the Bears. Gates had nine catches for 107 yards and one touchdown. Jason Witten challenged Gates as the top tight end this weekend, but Witten played against the porous Giants defense, while Gates faced off against the stout Bears. Gates passed with flying colors against one of the league's toughest defenses. Defense — The Indianapolis Colts had the worst run defense in the NFL last season. On Thursday, though, they shut down the potent Saints offence. The Colts held Running back — Coming into the season, the Titans weren't completely sure whether they would use Chris Brown as the starting back. LenDale White gave him some off-season competition, but Brown ran for 175 yards on 19 carries and proved that he might still have what it takes to be a star running back in the NFL. 81 New England Patriots' wide receiver Randy Moss worked well with quarterback Tom Brady. Fantasy owners should be able to rely on both the rest of the season. UNLOCK YOUR FUTURE... GRE LSAT GMAT KU CONTINUING EDUCATION The University of Kansas Test preparation classes start soon. REGISTER NOW! Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister to under 40 rushing yards each. They also held Drew Brees, last year's leader in passing yards, to under 200 yards and intercepted him twice. If the Colts defense can keep up this play, Indianapolis will be back in the Super Bowl. Kicker — Can a rookie really make it on to the top performances list? He can when he enters the NFL with one of the strongest legs in the league. Mason Crosby replaced Dave Rayner as Green Bay's place kicker and was a perfect 3-for-3 on field attempts including a 53-yarder. ASSOCIATED PRESS PERFORMANCES TO FORGET www.ContinuingEd.ku.edu (keyword: testprep) 785-864-5823 Wide Receiver — Arizona was supposed to have a high-powered offense. The hiring of Ken Whisenhtau was only supposed to make the offense even better. On Monday night, though, the Arizona offense looked anemic. Arizona has one of the best receiving tandems in the league, but Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald failed to impress. Boldin had four catches for 22 yards, and Fitzgerald had three catches for 20 yards. Quarterback — Arizona's Matt Leinart is poised to have a breakout year, but 102 passing yards, one touchdown pass and two interceptions is not a good start. Leinart will need to have a short memory and move past this loss in his first full season as the starting quarterback Running back — According to yahoo.com, Steven Jackson's average fantasy draft position was 2.5. Maybe it should've been lower. Tight end — San Francisco's Vernon Davis had a terrible game. I've never seen a worse single-game performance from a tight end. His stat line immediately jumps out. He had two catches for four yards. Davis should be Alex Smith's second option in the passing game, but will need to improve and be more consistent than he was against the Cardinals. Defense — The New York Giants are going to have some serious problems this year. It wasn't bad enough that they lost Eli Manning for a month, but the Giants also had starting running back Brandon Jacobs and defensive end Osi Umenyiora suffer knee injuries. At that point the Giants were out of the game and the Cowboys offense had no problem moving the ball up and down the field. according to his performance on Sunday. Jackson rushed for 58 yards on 18 carries. He also had two fumbles. Jackson was a far cry from his 2006 form but should bounce back from this terrible performance. Kicker — Olindo Mare missed one of only two field goals he attempted in the Thursday night game. He made a 34-yard field goal, missed a 52-yard field goal and made the only extra point attempt. Kickers score minimal points in fantasy football, but Mare was on an even lower level this week.

Total: $14,664 BY ERIN SOMMER BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com A change in a University of Kansas policy provides seven student leaders with sponsorship toward their tuition, worth $5,824 per year at current tuition rates. The positions affected include four Student Senate executive members and three Graduate and Professional Association leaders. Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, proposed the change to correct the previous policy, which she said was unfair to some student leaders. The students filling the positions this year will be the first to receive the sponsorships, which come from the student success budget. Student fees do not go toward this budget. The Student Senate positions affected by the policy are the student body president, vice president, treasurer and the director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board. The Graduate and Professional Association positions are executive director, communications coordinator and finance director. The previous policy held by the University administration gave in-state tuition rates to out-of-state student leaders. Roney said that this policy was unfair because it did not benefit in-state student leaders, and that is why she proposed the change. Lynn Bretz, director of communications for the University, said the new policy gives seven student leaders a sponsorship worth 15 hours of in-state tuition. The seven students must pay for additional hours, differential tuition and student fees. Leaders from outside the state also have to pay the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuitions. The sponsorship is an addition to the pay that the students already receive. The undergraduate positions that will receive the sponsorship each currently receive $340 in pay every two weeks. Using current tuition rates, the students in the positions will receive a total of $14,664 annually from the tuition sponsorship and paychecks combined. "There's been a long history of student leaders getting some kind of benefit," Bretz said. "The system has worked to give us people who deserve the position." which positions? Student leaders who will receive tuition sponsorships: Student Body president — Hannah Love, Dodge City senior Student Body vice president — Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior Student Body treasurer — Austin Kelly, Lawrence senior Student Legislative Awareness Board Roney said that the change in the policy is to ensure that student leaders are compensated for their work. "This is something the University implemented many years ago to recognize that student leaders put in an extraordinary amount of time," Roney said. director — Alex Treaster, Shawnee senior Graduate & Professional Association executive director — Ryan McCabe Graduate & Professional Association communications coordinator — Sharla Cruse Graduate & Professional Association finance director — Danielle Johnson Roney said that she is not concerned that the benefits will create a situation where students run for office only to receive tuition sponsorship. "We want students to run based on their commitment to run and not to get a benefit," Roney said. Roney said that although she spoke with the students about changing the policy, the student leaders affected by the policy were not a part of the decision to change it. — Edited by Meghan Murphy STUDENT DINING Hawk Food Stop satisfies hunger Students looking for a quick bite to eat during lunch or between classes might want to consider stopping by one of the seven Hawk Food Stop locations on campus. Over the past couple of years, the number of Hawk Food Stops on campus has increased from three to seven. Alecia Stultz, assistant director for retail dining, said the reason for the increase was in large part a result of faculty and students' wanting more convenient dining locations.

Soulja Boy dance fad hits clubs in Lawrence RELIGION The "Crank That" dance consists of a series of footsteps and swaying arms. In recent weeks, YouTube videos have appeared showing viewers how to properly do the dance, and MySpace held a contest allowing its users to send in videos of themselves doing the dance and vote on who performed the best. "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" by rapper Soulja Boy reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, and its accompanying dance is just as popular. As a result, the song and the dance are popping up in bars all over Lawrence. The Chabad Jewish Center will host Rosh Hashana services and celebrations during the day today and Friday, and Muslim Student Association and the Islamic Center of Lawrence will both offer activities during Ramadan. * SEE FULL STORIES ON PAGE 8A 44 2A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." quote of the day Alan Kay fact of the day A rocket-like device can be traced back to ancient Greece when a flying steam-powered pigeon was built out of wood.

BY MEGAN MILLS Sex is not a stranger to the University of Kansas and is a regular topic in Jayplay and on the opinion pages of The University Daily Kansan. The Kansan even releases an annual special section titled "Sex on the Hill" that features a wide range of sex-related topics. The subject of sex in student publication at the University is nothing new. In May 1914, the racy student publication The Sour Owl began its 40-year run as one of the most controversial aspects of campus. The Sour Owl labeled itself as "The Paper Without a Heart or Soul" and did its best to abide by that description. The publication was a regular source of controversy and according to kuhistory.com was "a mix of bawdy jokes, lewd illustrations, nasty gossip, sexual innuendo, and outright fabrications worthy of a supermarket tabloid." The provocative paper was a product of the junior class honor society named The Owls. The organization endorsed a cheeky sense of humor and their stated purpose was "to initiate and promulge movements for the best interests of the junior class and of the University, and to advance the spirit of fellowship among the students." Their The Owl members spared no opportunity to display their brassy wit and even took care to name the first editor-in-chief "I.M. Smutty." actions obviously defied this purpose. No topic was off-limits, including the personal lives of students. Campus gossip was a big feature of the paper and many students were mentioned by name for their supposed licentious behavior. University administrators and faculty often criticized the paper for its lewd articles and several chancellors were repeatedly called upon to intervene and demand apologies from The Sour Owl staff members. The obscene subject matter inspired many campus-wide protests, including a "purity campaign" in 1936 to clean up the content of the paper. In 1944, The Sour Owl released its most notorious publication by printing the names, hometowns, ages, heights, weights, hair color, and eye color of the pledge class of each campus sorority. Also included in these descriptions was a special "remarks" section where each girl was given an overall rate of appeal according to her physical appearance or personality. Kuhistory.com writes that while most of these comments were flattering, some were "rather mean" and others "downright obscene by 1940s standards," including comments such as "Stacked" and "Sex from the word go - go!" These remarks were in violation of federal obscenity laws and U.S. postal regulations and the paper was declared "non-mailable." The paper also received an official sanction from Chancellor Deane Malott and staff members were banned from participating in student organizations. The violations did not end the publication of The Sour Owl;the paper continued to print editions through the 1950s.

The song has reached the top spot on the chart this week and has become a favorite among students. Alex Earl, Las Vegas senior, and an employee at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E.

"I hear that song every night we are open and there is always a big crowd that dances to it." Earl said. "One night, I saw probably 75% of the crowd dancing along to it." "Crank That" has become a staple song in music played in Lawrence bars. Ken Soap, a local DJ who spins at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N.

The "Crank That" dance, which incorporates the Two Step and Lean Wit It dances, calls for a series of foot steps and arm swaying from side to side. Recently, YouTube videos have appeared online showing viewers how to properly "crank that," and MySpace has held a promotional contest to see who could "crank that" the best. Mark Dent "It's got a catchy beat and it's easy enough for most people to do, as far as the dance goes." Chandra said. "As long as students are excited by it and clubs keep playing it, it will be successful." Daniel Chandra, Lawrence freshman, said he thought the hype built around the song would keep it popular for a while.

The Rev. Michael Jude Fay, who resigned last year as pastor of St. John Roman Catholic Church, pleaded guilty to interstate transportation of money obtained by fraud. He faces up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and must pay restitution. Prosecutors said Fay took between $1 million and $2.5 million over seven years, but the priest has disputed that. He admitted taking between $400,000 and $1 million. “It's my understanding, your honor, that I used church monies, parish monies for means and for needs other than means and needs of the parish or the parishioners of the parish,” Fay said in court. “My understanding is that it's by fraud." Fay shoppe Good man, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom, drove a Jaguar, attended a sports club, bought jewelry from Cartier, spent $130,000 for limo rides for himself and his mother, ar at Bergdorf such as the Ritz Carlton, Hotel De Paris and the Four Seasons. "We pray that today's announcement will help the Saint John Parish community put a sad chapter of its history behind it..." BRIDGEPORT DIOCESE is mother, and stayed at hotels according to an investigative report released last year by the Bridgeport Diocese. He spent tens of thousands of dollars on home furnishings and meals and more than $20,000 to mark the 25th anniversary of his ordination, the report said. He also bought a condominium in Florida with another man. Federal investigators said Fay also spent money to buy a condominium in Philadelphia. Fay and his attorney, Lawrence Hopkins, declined to comment outside court. In the hearing, Fay said he had undergone chemotherapy for prostate cancer but the treatment was not working. He was released on a $50,000 bond; sentencing is set for Dec. 4. The diocese thanked federal authorities for investigating the case. "We pray that today's announcement will help the Saint John Parish community put a sad chapter of its history behind it and finalize the healing process;" the diocese said in a statement. Fay remains unauthorized to function as a priest, church officials said. The parish has received restitution in the form of cash, real estate, and personal property worth about a few hundred thousand dollars, church officials said. 》 WESLEY KU Christian organization begins life groups provides more intimate worship setting BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com Campus ministry Wesley KU has made a more personalized kind of worship available to students this semester. The ministry introduces life groups in addition to its Tuesday evening services. Life groups are small Bible study and prayer groups specifically designed for students who deal with similar situations and issues. Life groups formed so far include sections for men, freshmen, artists, fraternity members and sophomore women. The groups meet at various times in comfortable, casual settings on campus and around Lawrence. Life group leader Kyle Bauman, Edinburgh, Ind., junior, said the groups provided a more trusting, personal atmosphere than a larger worship service. sions." "It's just like comparing larger lectures to smaller classes in college," Bauman said. "The smaller setting can bring more discus- All life groups work through the same "conversation journal," a devotional guide that starts with the book of Matthew and works through the Gospels in the Bible. Bauman said the readings weren't long or difficult, but were meant to spark questions and conversation. He said that the journals would help students get into the Bible and that open conversation would allow them to be honest about issues they encountered. He also said the groups were made to assist students as they grew closer to God and provide others who could answer members' questions. Bauman will begin his men's life group this Friday at 7 p.m. Katie Trinter, associate director of Wesley KU, said both mentors and students benefited because they were able to cover issues more in-depth than they could during a worship service. artists. She said she wanted to talk about how to balance being an artist and having a strong faith. "As the staff, it's difficult to personally reach out to a campus of thousands." Tritter said. "Artists seem so spiritual, yet sometimes they're not very religious." Trinter said. "I think they feel religion is very structured. I want to show them there are so many creative ways to express their faith." If students can't find a group that fits their needs, they are encouraged to create their own. Trinder said Wesley KU offered a mentor program that helped leaders start life groups. "It can be stressful leading a group," Trinter said. "We want to help empower them and answer any questions they have." Trinter will lead a life group for Students are encouraged to attend Wesley KU's regular worship services held in Room 100 of Smith Hall every Tuesday at 8 p.m. Anyone interested in attending a life group or forming their own group should contact Katie Trinter at (440) 315-5193.

Although she has not yet started the program, Hoins said that a dozen University departments have shown interest in the new recycling system. Hoins accepted the surplus furniture from University departments this summer. The furniture, including desks and chairs, already fills the 2,500 square-feet warehouse on West Campus. The Environmental Stewardship Program at the University of Kansas is working on new ways to reduce the waste on campus in addition to operating recycling services. Its new program, Surplus Property Recycling program, will receive excess office furniture from University buildings and sell it to any department or student organization on campus at a substantially reduced price. BY SACHIKO MIYAKAWA "It's been pretty successful." Hoins said. "A lot of people are excited about it and want to know more." Hoins said she would also like to raise recycling awareness among students who live off campus. She is planning to provide recycling trailers around the parking lots of Memorial Stadium or the Student Recreation and Fitness Center at least once a month so that students have easy access to the recycling service. ESP's projects are not limited to the Surplus Property Recycling program. The grants from previous years allowed ESP to purchase equipment, including a bailing machine, and expand the recycling service on campus. "The visibility of our containers encouraged recycling." Hoins said. "It's a habit. Once you start recycling, then you feel weird throwing a plastic bottle in a trash." Hoins said KU Recycling used to collect surplus furniture and donate it to nonprofit organizations from 2001 to 2004 until it lost the space for storage. Compared to the old program, the new system allows more storage space and delivery services for the surplus furniture. The program is still bound by state rules. ESP had not received the official approval of Surplus Property Recycling yet, but Hoins said the program would start this semester. She said ESP's coordination would benefit both providers and receivers of the furniture on campus. Hoins said the new bailer could recycle material faster. The KU Recycling team, thanks to the equipment's efficiency, can put more containers on campus and increase some of the container sizes so that the team can collect more material with large volume such as cardboard. Hoins expected the amount of recycling would keep increasing this year following the growth of the Hoins said she would like to partner with environmental organizations on campus to promote recycling and increase the supply of recycling containers in campus buildings and residence halls. "They would be able to free up the space in the office immediately," Hoins said. "As far as resell on campus, we are cheap. People can get really nice stuff for their offices and departments," she said. Margaret Tran, Derby sophomore, has taken advantage of the KU recycling service. "I'm hopeful that we will be able to really promote ourselves this semester," Hoins said. She uses it almost everyday both on campus and at her residence hall. "They do a good job recovering magazines, aluminum cans, plastics," Tran said. However, she said it would be better if she had more recycle bins for office papers and newspapers. last year. — Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Return Engagement "Bring them home alive!"

SCHNEIDER ASSOCIATED PRESS Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid of Nev., right, accompanied by Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., left, gestures during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington Wednesday. Senateademative leaders on Wednesday rejected the call by Gen. David Petraeus for a reduction of U.S. troops in Iraq by next summer, saying it does not go far enough. BY ANNE FLAHERTY ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - A day before President Bush's war address, Senate Democrats rejected a four-star general's recommendation to keep some 130,000 troops in Iraq through next summer and sought legislation that would limit the mission of U.S. forces. Their proposal was not expected to set a deadline to end the war, as many Democrats want, but restrict troops to narrow objectives: training Iraq's military and police, protecting U.S. assets and fighting terrorists, Democratic party officials told The Associated Press. The goal is to attract enough Republicans to break the 60-vote threshold in the Senate needed to end a filibuster. Democrats have proved unable to do that since they took control of Congress eight months ago. "I call on the Senate Republicans to not walk lockstep as they have with the president for years in this war," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said at a news conference. "It's time to change. It's the president's war. At this point it also appears clear it's also the Senate Republican's war." Reid and other Democrats said that proposal does not go far enough. "It creates and provides an illusion of change in an effort to take the wind out of the sails of those of us who want to truly change course in Iraq," said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Armed Services Committee. of Maine, but most GOP lawmakers said they were reluctant to impose a firm timetable. Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., seen as another potential swing vote, said he was working with Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., on legislation that would put Petraeus' recommendations into law. Absent a new political climate, Democrats are in a tough position: They can continue to insist on a hardline position and fail, letting weeks go by without passing anti-war legislation, or they soften their stance. Democrats struggled to regain momentum in the war debate after two days of testimony by Gen. David Petraeus, the top commander in Iraq, and Ambassador Ryan Crocker. Petraeus said the 30,000 troop buildup begun this year had yielded some gains and needed more time. He recommended slowly reversing the buildup, drawing down about 5,500 soldiers and Marines by year's end and aiming for a force of 130,000 next summer. At issue in talks among Reid and Senate Democrats was how far they should go in forcing a new mission for troops without losing support from various political sides, according to congressional aides familiar with the meeting in Reid's office. ENTERTAINMENT Petraeus' assessment inflamed Democrats, but assuaged many Republicans. It did lead to tough questions from several Republican skeptics, including Sens. John Warner of Virginia and Susan Collins In a bold challenge to Petraeus' assessment, Reid said the "situation on the ground in Iraq has not changed at all". He later acknowledged gains in Anbar province, "but it's like the big balloon that you push on one side and it comes out someplace else." Kanye wins first day of music battle, outsells 50 Cent by 127,000 albums Even after MTV tantrums, West's 'Graduation' leading in sales 00:00:02:04 CAM 1 BY NEKESA MUMBI MOODY ASSOCIATED PRESS Kaney West, left, and 50 Cent present an award at the MTV Video Music Awards at the Palms Hotel and Casino on Sunday in Las Vegas. ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — 50 Cent may be getting hip-hop's equivalent of a gold watch next week. Early reports have Kanye West beating 50 in their much-hyped battle of album sales: West's "Graduation" is on pace to sell about 575,000 to 700,000 its first week out, while 50 Cent's "Curtis" is on track to do 550,000, according to Billboard magazine. As of day one, Kanye had sold 437,000 copies to 50's 310,000, according to Nielsen Soundscan. Both albums came out Tuesday, and a confident 50 Cent famously announced that he would retire if West outsold him in first-week sales. "I just don't view him as competition based on our previous sales histories," 50 Cent told The Associated Press last month. But it looks as if 50 underestimated the power of West, and perhaps, overestimated his own appeal. "I don't think it's helped 50 that so many of these pre-release singles that have come out have fizzled on the charts right away," said Jonathan Cohen, Billboard's senior editor. "There were street date changes. It has just not been a good run-up to this record for him." Meanwhile, Cohen says West is having a more "charmed" experience, despite his recent tantrum at the MTV Video Music Awards after going home empty-handed. "These tantrums he goes on, these outlandish comments he makes, they don't really hurt him," Cohen said. "If anything, they've got more people interested in what he's all about." and he could catch up and overtake West. "It is a projection." Cohen said of the initial sales predictions. "It can very easily deviate." Country singer Kenny Chesney's "Just Who I Am: Poets and Pirates," also released on Tuesday, is on pace to sell 550,000 albums.

Well, as exhausted as we all are of hearing about the off-the-wall antics of celebrities, the legal cases of a few certain 'celebutantes' in California has sparked our interest in the legal system in Kansas. We used those instances to examine some of Kansas laws. Reasons given for the short duration of some recent celebrities stint in the pen was due to L.A.'s overcrowding in the jails and the early release of nonviolent offenders. Their actual sentences are also where we see the lighter side of California law, and either some forgiving judges or some of that celebrity status working its magic. Nicole Richie pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs in a deal; the plea helped her avoid a potential year in jail and an actual second DUI conviction. She was sentenced to four days on jail, and served 82 minutes, in which she never even made it to her cell. According to the City Prosecutor for Lawrence, Jerry Little, the state of Kansas prohibits you from reaching a deal so as to plea out of a DUI. He said that most states do not differentiate between drugs and alcohol, so whether you get pulled over while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, it is a DUI. Lindsay Lohan also jumped on that second DUI train, when she was also arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance. It was her second driving arrest in four months. Ms. Lohan was fortunate enough to only receive seven misdemeanors in a (yes, the District Attorney's office offered another) plea deal in which she received a one-day jail sentence and 10 days' community service. She is again to enter into a rehabilitation program. If she had been in Kansas, however, according to the DUI statute, she would have received no fewer than 90 days (more than likely serving a mandatory five days), a $1,000 fine and alcohol evaluation. In our humble state, some of us have to experience the full power of the law firsthand. We aren't fortunate enough to receive plea deals and serve mere minutes compared of daylong sentences. The obvious and responsible decision is to not drink and drive. If you are so unfortunate to experience a run-in with law enforcement officials in Kansas, just know, you will serve every long, forsaken minute of that sentence. Citizens should be equal under the law, including how severe their punishments are for breaking the law. If recent events are any indication, this condition has yet to be met. DRAWING BOARD THE REAL WORLD DUI AND COCAINE POSSESSION? THAT'S TEN YEARS, BUCKO. LET'S GET YOU TO PRISON. LAWRENCE POLI The Magical Realm of HOLLYWOOD DUI AND COCAINE? GUESS IT'S TIME FOR ICE CREAM AND PONY RIDES! YOU'RE FAMOUS! WHEEEEEE! ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL Staying the course not always an option Sometimes conceding an error and correcting it is the wisest choice to make JESSE BROWN Stay the course. It's a simple and short statement that retains power. Stay the course. A statement that says to not falter, to not buckle under the pressure and to not fall into that category with all the other weaklings. Stay the course. Be strong and persistent. Never give up. Stay the course. While I admit that "stay the course" is good advice in many situations, it is not always used justly. Recently, I watched the movie "The Patriot." It's a movie about the American Revolution and their war for independence against the British. I know the movie was written in 2000, but sure enough, whenever the future looked bleak, the American soldiers would just plead, "Stay the course." I guess that would be good advice in this situation because we eventually won our freedom. Sometimes, when I'm really down about being in debt because college is so expensive and I'm so frustrated with everything, I just feel like dropping out of school. I have to tell myself, "No, Jesse, stay the course. It will be better in the end. Just stay the course." And that statement reinvigorates and compels me to stay in school and work harder. But really, is "stay the course" a good motivational statement for America's war in Iraq? Why isn't recognizing one's fault a strength? Why do we have to persist in winning, heeding no attention to the possible outcomes, positive or negative? If we did, wouldn't that be a giant leap for mankind? I know America loves its winners, but some of the best sports movies end with the protagonist or protagonists losing. However, through all their struggles, they learn something about themselves. They walk away with a clearer image of themselves and begin to move on and head in the right direction. They recognize their faults and where they screwed up, but instead of being stubborn and arrogant about it, they come to terms with it and improve upon themselves. If I saw this in a leader, I would blindly follow him or her, because only a real man or woman would have such humility. But to constantly use that statement during the course of the war in Iraq was irresponsible and a complete misuse of such a statement. MOUNTAIN DEW AT MIDNIGHT I, for one, do not support the war in Iraq. I support our troops but it makes me angry of the deceit that brought us into this war. President George W. Bush and his administration proclaimed that Iraq had weapons or mass destruction. To this day, no weapons have been discovered in Iraq. This war has had no good results other than ending a tyrant's oppressive regime. But now we're stuck in Iraq and this is the part where I'm torn. I want the troops to come home, but I have this notion that as America, we shouldn't abandon those who want our help. That wouldn't be very humanitarian of us, would it? The last time we isolated ourselves from the world, Hitler rose in power and nearly took over all of Europe. The only problem is that only half the people in Iraq want our help and the others wants us to leave. Should we stay the course? This is a question I just cannot seem to answer. I'm not adept in politics so I have no answers or solutions for this problem. All I know is that I want peace. Brown is a Lee's Summit, Mo., junior in journalism. Campus road rules work both ways Both drivers and pedestrians to blame for congestion JENNY HARTZ At the University of Kansas, there are many battles going on. At the University of Kansas, there are many battles going on. There's the academic struggle to survive and keep that GPA higher than your shoe size. There's the struggle to get that one guy or girl you like to ask you out because you're too shy to do it yourself. There's the struggle to come up with a biweekly witty column every two weeks. No, wait, that's just me. One of the biggest battles on campus is Man vs. Machine. And by man, I mean pedestrian, and by machine, I mean motorized vehicle. Now, the University of Kansas is a college campus and there are a lot of students and professors walking around. By walking around these people become pedestrians. 'Pedestrians' a term coming from the word 'ped' meaning foot and 'strians' meaning some sort of chord progression-sounding thingy. So, it always amazes me when someone zips around a corner of a parking lot, almost hits me and looks at me like I just fell out of the sky. He mouths words at me which I'm pretty sure are something like, "Hey, have a nice day!" A lot of people would blame near-hits on people who talk on their cell phones while driving. This is a common variable but I've found the one factor in every near-hit case that causes all near accidents: the car is being driven by a person. Now, it would be nice of people to drive more carefully in parking lots, not stop haltway in the crosswalk and not hit people, unless those people are wearing Ugg boots. However, courtesy goes on both ends. Pedestrians need to make sure to look both ways before crossing the street, especially if they're not at a crosswalk. Hey, Jayhawks jaywalk; just do it jay-smartly. Also, at night, cars really can't see you. It's almost easier to see a ninja in the night. Although occasionally you can get away with darting in front of a car, you are most certainly suicidal if you do it in front of a bus. It takes a lot to stop a huge bus. Do not run out in front of the bus, unless you really, really don't want to go to COMS 130. Ever again. In addition, your fellow students ride the buses and are in just as much of a hurry as you to get to class on time. It's annoying for them to have to sit on the bus for ten minutes because of the cattle, I mean students, constantly clogging the crosswalks. It makes the buses late, it makes your fellow classmates late and it makes the drivers cranky. It's especially annoying on the hill between Watson library and Stauffer-Flint Hall. It's hard enough for the buses to get enough momentum to get up the hill without them getting stopped halfway up it because of students darting into the crosswalk. So, drivers be courteous and be more aware of pedestrians. Pedestrians, be courteous and be more aware of cars, especially buses. And, my professors, please be courteous and be more aware that I'd like 'A's this semester. Hartz is a Stilwell junior in creative writing.

The Islamic holy month of Ramadan starts tomorrow. Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset throughout the month. Muslims observe holy month BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com For the next month, Bazigha 'Tusail will not eat or drink anything from sunrise to sunset. She will focus her attention on charity and doing good things for others. She will perform extra prayers at night and put extra effort into refraining from bad thoughts and bad deeds. Tusail, Lee's Summit, Mo., senior, along with Muslims around the world, are celebrating the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan will be observed from today to Oct. 12. Muslims believe that during Ramadan, the gates to heaven are opened and the gates to hell are closed. Tusail said Ramadan was a personal journey. "It a time to recharge spiritually and focus on yourself." Tusail said. "You empathize with people who are less fortunate and know what it's like to be hungry." Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, signifies the time that the Quran, the Muslim holy book, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Ala Abdel-Halim, Tulikar, Pallistine, junior and president of the Muslim Student Association, said there were benefits for Muslims to fast during Ramadan. "It allows people to build self control and will power so they can control themselves and not be driven by their desires," Abdel-Halim said. Abdel-Halim said Ramadan was also a time to give charity to the less fortunate. In Islam, charity includes both monetary gifts and doing nice things for others. Barakat Makrami, Gizan, Saudi Arabia, graduate student and assistant director of the Islamic Center of Lawrence and of the Muslim Student Association, said Ramadan was the busiest month of the Islamic year. He said the Islamic Center would have speeches each night after the sunset prayer, guest speakers and activities on Saturday nights. He said anyone could attend the events. "Ramadan has a special meaning to Muslims," Makrami said. "People who don't show up at the mosque all year show up during Ramadan." The Muslim Student Association will end the month of Ramadan with Fast-a-Thon, a day where they invite non-Muslim students to with them. Tusail said it gave participants a chance Ramadan Mubarak If you see a Muslim today, wish him or her "Ramadan Mubarak." Today marks the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Muslims around the world will celebrate by fasting during the day and saving extra prayers at night. Both the Islamic Center of Lawrence and the Muslim Student Association have planned activities that are open to everyone. The lunar month of Ramadan signifies the time that the Quran was revealed to the prophet Muhammad. It will last between 29 and 30 days and will end with Eid ul-Fitr, a celebration to mark the end of the fast.

The king, who is also her uncle, sentences her to death for burying her dead brother, who the king felt betrayed the state. Paul Lim, English professor and artistic director of the English Alternative Theater, said he picked "Antigone" because he wanted to put on a play with issues students could “Antigone' is about a strong woman going against a strong man, and she's making choices that affect her life.” Lim said. “It's similar to decisions we make, such as do we agree with President Bush's choice to go to Iraq? Or, should we not support our troops? It's extremely relevant." The Lawrence Arts Center has worked with the English Alternative Theater in the past. Michael Ingle, Lawrence Arts Center administrator, said working with the theater was exciting. "It's always a positive experience for us when they use our stage," Ingle said. "We get a large turnout as well, as a lot of classes come to see the shows." Students might be surprised by the show and the message it has. Sarah Smiley, Overland Park senior, said the show was worth the time. "It's definitely important to see 'Antigone' because it has a really powerful message," Smiley said.

After the Southeastern Louisiana game, many fans may believe Kansas is primed for the Big 12 title game. For the second week in a row, the football team has blown out another cupcake team. While beating a team 62-0 may sound impressive, Southeastern Louisiana is about as competitive of an opponent as Free State High School. Just to give you an idea of how bad Southeastern Louisiana was, another cupcake team Kansas played last season, Northwestern State, defeated the team 87-27 in 2003. When the Jayhawks played Northwestern St., they won 49-18. While the defeat may be impressive on paper, the first half was rather disappointing for the Jayhawk offense. Before the Kansas special teams and defense completely sucked the heart and soul out of Southeastern Louisiana, the Kansas offense looked average at best. The first two offensive series were poorly executed, resulting in senior Kyle Tucker punting the ball away. It was not until the defense forced a safety and junior wide receiver Marcus Herford returned a kickoff for a touchdown that Southeastern Louisiana finally let up and the momentum of the game went Kansas' way. For instance, after Kansas' most recent shutout against Southern Illinois in 2000, it lost its first two Big 12 games against Oklahoma and Kansas State. Similarly, in In addition to the sub-par offensive performance in the first two drives of the game, there was a very questionable coaching call on behalf of Kansas coach Mark Mangino in the second quarter. After junior cornerback Aqib Talib recorded his second offensive touchdown of the season, Mangino decided it would be a good idea to go for a two-point conversion after the Jayhawks already led 22-0. While everyone would agree after two games that Kansas seems to have improved since last season, the competition, especially this past weekend against Southeastern Louisiana, is nowhere near the Big 12's level of competition. Historically, Kansas has been known to rough up a couple of cupcake teams in non-conference play, then to go into Big 12 play and end up in the bottom of the Big 12 standings. Some of you may say, well, why be so critical of the Jayhawks after they won by 62 points and recorded their first shutout since 2000?

His doctors were encouraged on Tuesday when he moved his legs and arms — a day after saying Everett stood little chance of making a full recovery. Doctors treating Everett have said that his spinal cord was intact rather than severed — also a very good sign. Doctors said that it was far too soon to know whether he will suffer paralysis, or to what extent.

That didn't mean a return of his career, though, said Dr. Joseph Maroon, team neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers and a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center specialist who was consulted on Everett's case.

Parmele made the game-winning, 25-season when the Jayhawks touchdown in double overtime. Dave Hochanadel/Toledo's Independent Collegian BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Most of the University of Kansas players and coaches said they weren't thinking about last year's season-altering 37-31 loss to Toledo as Saturday's rematch approaches. But because of the Rockets' player that the Jayhawks are most focused on, the double-overtime defeat is still fresh in their minds. "Jalen Parmelo, their tailback, is very productive." Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "He gets tough yardage and hits creases. He's a productive player." Does the name sound familiar? For Kansas fans it should. Parmela is the same running back who put an end to Kansas' game against Toledo last year with a 25-yard touchdown run in double overtime. As a junior last season, Parmele was Toledo's primary offensive weapon and showed a knack for making big plays. He finished 2006 with more than 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns. Parmele's play earned him a fair amount of hype entering this season. He was named to Parmetles pria amount of this season. H the Preseason First-Team All Mid- American Conference and was considered a favorite to be named MAC Offensive Player of the Year. But the "Toledo is not unlike the team they had last year," Mangino said. "They are moving the ball on offense." "Jalen Parmele, their tailback, is very productive. He gets tough yardage and hits creases. He's a productive player." Rockets are off to a 0-2 start, and Parmelei's season isn't going as many expected. He's only averaging 3.5 yards per carry, two yards below his average last season. The senior's slow start is puzzling, considering Toledo returned most of its offensive starters, including four of five offensive linemen. Sophomore running back The Rockets are having no problem gaining enough yards to be competitive. It's the way they are doing it that's surprising. Without consistency from Parmele, the Toledo offense has shifted from the balance it displayed last season to a pass-oriented attack this year. MARK MANGINO Kansas coach LIBERTY HALL 644 MALE, 749-1912 accessibility info (785) 749-1972 LA VIE EN ROSE (PG13) 4:00 6:45 9:25 BECOMING JANE (PG) 4:30 7:00 9:30 students $+$5.50 Dalajne Collins is also getting a sufficient amount of carries to help out the rushing game. Kansas linebacker Joe Mortenser I for all Mankind Lock & Republic True Religion Chip & Pepper Paper,lee,Diesel Arizona Trading Co. 785.749.2377.ks 816.960.0200.mo said the two running-back system bodes well for Toledo because it forces teams like Kansas to adjust quickly. "It's all about personnel." Mortensen said. "We've got to be aware of who's in the game." Mortensen compared Parmelo and Collins to the Jayhawks two running backs, senior Brandon McAnderson and sophomore Jake Sharp, because of their different styles. If Parmalee gets off to a quick start in Saturday's game, it could reopen the Jayhawks' wounds from last season. But Mangino said he didn't foresee that as a problem. "Our team is more interested in getting better and playing good, smart football every week," he said. "Because it's Toledo and all that, I think that emotional stuff is within them. But our kids want to win, and that's all we want to do." To win, Kansas will look to shut down Parmalee early. Because even though he's off to a slow start, the Jayhawks remember what happened a year ago. —Edited by Chris Beattie THE BIGGEST SPORTS APPAREL STORE IN LAWRENCE Sports DOME Est. 1993 1000 Massachusetts St. Enter on East 10th 785.832.0806 www.spdome.com • Hats • T-shirts • Shorts • Home Decor FOOTBALL Hawks still angry about last year hope to avoid repeat performance Different from a year ago, these Jayhawks look ready for revenge BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com If the Kansas football players are having trouble falling asleep this week, it's probably because they've been forced to watch a scary movie over and over in recent film sessions. The movie, filmed in mid-September of last year in Toledo, Ohio, features the Jayhawks floundering badly in a double-overtime defeat in front of a national television audience. "We didn't play well." Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "We didn't do anything well. We didn't coach well, we didn't play special teams, and we didn't take care of the ball. There hasn't been a lot of talk about it, but I can see it. I've been around these kids long enough to know — I can sense that they're technicians, and they're getting ready to play this game." Mangino's description of last year's game certainly does the layjawk's performance justice. The Kansas defense was stout as usual, only allowing 237 total yards and forcing Toledo to punt $ \frac{1}{2} $times. But the layjawk offense gave the Rockets all the offense gave the assistance they needed. Kansas turned the ball over five times, including a fumble in the first overtime and an interception in the second one, that all but handed Toledo the game. At the end of the Kansas vs. Toledo history Kansas vs. Toledo (2-1 all-time) 2004, W 63-14 — The Kansas offense exploded at home in the second week of the 2004 season. Quarterback Adam Barmann enjoyed one of his finest games as a Jayhawk, throwing for 310 yards and four touchdown passes. Toledo, which was highly touted and led by future NFL quarterback Bruce 1991, W 30-7 — A decent Kansas team under the guidance of coach Glen Mason visited Toledo on Sept. 7 to open the season. In front of a crowd of 24,010, the Jayhawks defeated the Rockets and went on to finish 6-5. of the layhawk players, that ugly memory could provide some inspiration come Saturday. "We're always looking for something to be mad about," junior linebacker Joe Mortensen said, "and against this team, we have something to be mad about." Judging by the attitudes of some 2006. L 37-31 — The Rockets and Jayhawks traded couchdowns, safeties and penalties for the first 60 minutes of play. The teams went to overtime tied at 31. Toledo threw to score in the first overtime, but Kerry Meier fumbled the ball and Kansas' chance to win. In the second overtime, Meier threw an interception and Toledo running back Jalen Parmele responded with a quick 25-yard touchdown run. Kansas finished 6-6, but a win on that night would've secured a bowl birth. Gradkowski, went on to a 9-4 record and a bowl berth while the Jayhawks finished 4-7. messy affair, the Rockets came out on top. 37-31. Mortensen said that the team we're always looking for something to be mad about and against this team, we have something to be mad about." JOE MORTENSEN Junior linebacker last Sept. 15 that the team was focused on wiping the slate clean and treating the game like a new beginning, despite last year's loss. After all, Kansas is a far different team than it was in its matchup Sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier was responsible for all five of the team's giveaways against the Rockets. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing, the team's new commander, has yet to throw an interception or lose a fumble in the first two games this season. In last year's matchup, the now-transferred Blake Bueltel started at cornerback alongside now-second string senior safety Sadiq Muhammed. Replacing those two players are freshman cornerback Chris Harris and sophomore safety Darrell Stuckey. Though the season is young, both Harris and Stuckey should present Toledo with more resistance than their predecessors did. When the Rockets and the Jayhawks take the field Saturday, each team will have a distinctly different look than it did last season. But every Jayhawk will undoubtedly remember what happened a year ago in Toledo.

The Tigers, 12-0 and perfect through the rugged Southeastern Conference, were 100,000 people around them that buy the hot dogs and the tickets and currently don't have a say? bypassed for a spot in the national championship game by USC and Oklahoma. Brown decided to do something about it, creating FansPoll.com, a site that allows fans to pick a national champion. "What about the fans? What about the 100,000 people around them that buy the hot dogs and the tickets and currently don't have a say?" A prognostication contest throughout the season determines the committee of fans who will ultimately name the FansPoll national champion.

Registered users pick the winners of those games. At the end of the year, Brown said this gives the site an idea of who are the most qualified fans. They are then put on a selection committee. "The way we see it is the third element that has been missing," Brown, Auburn University junior said. "At Neyland Stadium on a given Saturday, Phillip Fulmer is coaching and the reporters are covering the game. They have a say in the rankings. What about the fans? What about the tee selects the National Champion along with about 20 other awards, such as Quarterback of the Year and Coach of the Year. at Southern Welcome The World s Cup The commit with cumulative ratings from other schools, to remove bias.

George Brown, creator of the college football fan's poll, presents the FansPoll.com national championship trophy to Florida's head coach Urban Meyer after last season. Brown said he would like his award to be recognized with the same prestige as the AP and BCS awards. "The only thing that is fair is a playoff system." Brown said. "Everyone agrees on this, but until someone who has the power does, you won't have a playoff system." Brown said in the future he'd like to see FansPoll.com rankings alongside the AP and Coaches' polls. "I absolutely believe that it has the potential to get there," Brown said. "We have established our credibility. Fans know what they are talking about." Cory Buckingham, Littleton, Colo., junior, said he could accept a fan's poll next to the traditional rankings. "I like it in addition to but not in place of the AP and Coaches' polls," Buckingham said. "I think fans probably use too much emotion in their voting, but the coaches and writers are set in their ways. Those two polls still have USC at number one, and I don't agree with that." FansPoll awarded Auburn the national championship in 2004, Texas in 2005, and Florida in 2006. Brown personally gave the Fanspoll.com People's National Champion trophies to Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville and Florida coach Urban Meyer. Brown began the site as a high school senior. "I have always been a huge fan of college football," Brown said. "It's something that is a big part of people's lives. I know it's just a game, but it is something that we take seriously. And I think we deserve to play a part in it." Buckingham grabbed the opportunity to play a part. He said he would rank the Jayhawks 25th in his first poll. — Edited by Meghan Murphy NFL Belichick apologizes for sideline spying scandal BY JIMMY GOLEN ASSOCIATED PRESS FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — This PEACE CORPS videotape needs no interpretation: New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick walked out of his news conference Wednesday when pressed repeatedly about the sideline spying scandal that landed him on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's crowded docket. was apologizing for his actions or the distraction it has caused his team as it prepares for Sunday night's marquee game against San Diego. Life is calling How far will you go? Ten minutes before his regular availability, Belichick issued a one-paragraph statement apologizing to with the media, Belichick grimly refused to respond to a half-dozen questions about the scandal, possible punishments and the potential effect on his team. Begging for a football question, he seemed ready to abort the news conference after just a few minutes at the podium. But if he thought — or even hoped — that the standing-room crowd of media was there to talk about the Chargers, he failed to prepare in the manner that has made him one of the most successful coaches in the history of the leaue. his team and confirming that he has spoken to Goodell about an "interpretation" of league rules that ban videotaping of the opposing sideline. "Although it remains a league matter, I want to apologize to everyone who has been affected, most of all ownership, staff and players," Belichick said. "Following the league's decision, I will have further comment." Peace Corps Information Session Tuesday, Sept 18 7-8:30 p.m. Kansas Memorial Union Kansas Room (6th floor) "Any questions about the Chargers?" he pleaded in his standard, other-things-to-do monotone.

WATERWAY CARWASH 3 The prospect of defending against the reigning NFL offensive player of the year is not the sort of thing that usually cheers up opposing coaches. But Belichick smiled. "I think the Chargers are a concern. Their football team is a concern. That's what were concerned about," he said. "Whatever happens out there Sunday night, out there on the field, that's when everybody will make their statement." After another 15 minutes of football questions, though, the subject returned to the spying scandal. NFL security confiscated a video camera and tape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estralla on Sunday when he was working on the New York Jets' sideline during New England's 38-14 victory. The league has confirmed that it is investigating whether the Patriots were taping the Jets' defensive coaches as they signaled to players on the field. "Is there any other question on the Chargers?" Belichick said before walking out. "OK. Yep. That's all. OK. Thank you." Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher, a co-chairman of the NFL's competition committee, said the league is trying to keep technology from overtaking the game. "If they are in fact found guilty of this, it only shows that the steps the league has taken are good steps," Fisher said. "There's no place for it. Everybody clearly understands the rules. The competition committee's responsibility is to protect the integrity of the game. With technology the way it is right now, things could get out of hand in a matter of weeks if we don't protect the integrity of the game." NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma.

All of Kansas' players have been doing individual workouts three days a week this fall that consist of conditioning and fundamental drills. Hewitt said individual player workouts like those were key to Georgia Tech's run in 2004. Hewitt said they gave his players confidence that they could succeed without Bosh. It also helped that the Yellow Jackets were loaded with skillful veterans. Sophomores and juniors Jarrett Jack, Will Bynum, Luke Schenser, Marvin Lewis, B.J. Elder and Isma'il Muhammad led the team. Kansas is definitely not short on experience. Junior guard Brandon Rush has started every game of his college career. Arthur led the team in scoring in five games as a freshman, Jackson, Kaun, Chalmers, senior guard Russell Robinson and sophomore guard Sherron Collins have all played significant roles. "Experience is huge." Hewitt said. "The experience level was great enough that it let them have confidence at the start of the season." But experience only goes so tar. The players coming back have to perform, especially on the offensive end. Hewitt said replacing scoring is the most important part after losing a star player early to the draft. The Jayhawks' balanced offense should solve that. Kansas never relied too heavily on one player last year. Although Wright practically scored at will against Missouri and Florida, he was only the team's third-leading scorer for the season. Rush and Chalmers averaged more points than him last season, and five other players averaged five or more points. Add freshmen Cole Aldrich and Tyrell Reed to the mix, and it's obvious that Kansas has plenty of scoring options. The layhawks will have to wait at least two months before games begin to find out how they play without Wright. Early games against USC and Arizona could test Kansas. Arthur said his team doesn't need Wright to win. "We're not really even thinking about it," Arthur said. "We're just trying to get more wins up and hopefully more big 12 Championships and National Championships." - Edited by Kaitlyn Syring 2004, Kansas defeated Toledo 63-14, and went on to go 2-6 in Big 12 play. WHEELER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Though Kansas does not have to play Oklahoma in the regular season this year and K-State has dropped off as a major competitor in the Big 12, a blowout win against a cupcake team is not a good indicator of how well Kansas will perform in Big 12 play. Considering the Jayhawks' unimpressive 2-10 in-conference road record during the last three years and this season's road games against K-State, Colorado, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State, precise execution early in games will be crucial if Kansas expects to be a contender in the Big 12 North this year. If the offense performs as it did against Southeastern Louisiana in the first half, the Jayhawks could find themselves falling behind and continuing the trend of losing on the road. The next two weeks, Kansas will face Toledo (0-2) and Florida International (0-2) and it will be surprising if the Jayhawks do not blow out both opponents. Before everyone gets their hopes up, the offense will need to execute better than it did in the first half against Southeastern Louisiana. blowout history Non-Conference Blowouts (Big 12 Record during season) 2000 (2-6) Southern Illinois 42-0 2002 (0-8) SW Missouri State 44-24 2003 (3-5) UNLV 46-24 Jacksonville State 41-6 2004 (2-6) Toledo 63-14 Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN 2005 (3-5) Appalachian State 36-8 Louisiana Tech 34-14 2006 (3-5) Northwestern St. 49-18 As for Mangino's decision to go for a two-point conversion in the second quarter while leading by 22 points, he should leave bad play calling to Missouri's head coach Gary Pinkel.

Most of the team members had never been on a rowing team before they arrived at the University. Jon Goering/KANSAN BY EMILY MUSKIN emuskin@kansan.com It was dark and silent all around at five in the morning on the Kansas River. The only people out of bed at this early hour would have to be crazy, except for the 16 members of the KU varsity crew club team. On any day of the week, barring bad weather, they can be found training at dawn. Most of the crew members have never rowed before coming to the University of Kansas. Will Hecht, a senior rower with no prior experience, has been competing now for four years. He played other sports in high school and he said the idea of rowing intrigued him. 'I was walking down Jayhawk KU crew members practice Tuesday morning on the Kansas River. The team began practice at dawn, as it does every day when weather allows. Boulevard and saw the women's rowing team. Since I couldn't join them, they sent me here," Hecht said. Coach Jeremy Strumph said crew was all about team building and a shared rhythm when rowing. Hecht said teamwork was one of his favorite things about rowing. "There's nothing individual about it," he said. The crew team has 51 members who are divided into varsity and novice teams. Everyone is encouraged to attend tournaments. This season, the team will be rowing around the country at tournals in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Oklahoma and Iowa. The team will also compete in Kansas in tournals in Topeka, Wichita and Lawrence. The team competes with eight-man and four-man boats in two different events. In the fall they participate in the 5,000-meter race, and in the spring the 2K race. Struemph said that the 2K race required the same amount of energy needed to play two back-to-back basketball games. However, this race only takes five to six minutes to complete. Last year marked the 40th anniversary of the crew club. The team will begin its season this year on Sept.30. Anyone interested in joining the crew club team can contact Struemph at jhstruem@ku.edu.

Gil Meche won for the first time in almost two months, David DeJesus and Mark Teaken homered, and the Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 6-3 Wednesday to snap a seven-game losing streak. It also was Kansas City's 63rd win of the season, ensuring it won't have triple-digit losses for the first time in four years. 》 MLB "I knew that question would come up," a grimacing Bell said when asked about avoiding another 100-loss year. "I never thought that this team would lose 100. I don't really think it's that big of a deal. I always believed from the very beginning that wasn't going to be the case." "I've been pitching well, so I could kind of swallow it a little bit easier," said Meche, who struck out seven and walked one. Meche (8-12) allowed two runs and five hits in 6 2/3 innings, earning his first win since he beat Detroit on July 20. He was 0-6 with three no-decisions in his previous nine starts. "It's just been a bad-luck season. I haven't had good run support. I'm not going to look at the guys any different." Mchec, whose 3.82 ERA is eighth best in the AL, said turning the 100-loss corner is just another sign the Royals are headed in the right direction. Between seven-game losing skids in May and September, the Royals were 43-40. "We just have a lot of good things going with this team for the future," Meche said. "I think it's going to be an exciting offseason to see what moves we make. I think we're getting close." Mche retired the first nine batters he faced before Jason Tyner led off the fourth with a double. He then retired five straight before Michael Cuddyer dumped a single into short center. Teahen went deep leading off the third. In the sixth, John Buck singled and Delesus connected for his seventh homer. Alex Gordon hit his 34th double in the seventh, establishing a Rows record. Billy Butler's RBI single and Ross Gload's sacrifice飞 gave the Royals a 2-0 lead in the first, and Delesus made it 3-0 with a run-scoring triple in the second. "I know one thing." Bell said. "It's not very much fun to lose 100. I can tell you that."

Theater students use the stage to mold careers by Daniel Reyes For many people one of the more difficult things to do in life is get up in front of a large audience and speak or perform. Performing and speaking are exactly what students in the theater department are faced with every time the curtains open. Theater students dedicate hours to perfecting their crafts, something Amy Virginia Buchanan, Stillwater, Okla.,Junior, believes is overlooked. "People think it's easy because of the classes we take, like movement," Buchanan says. "What they don't realize is that it's a complete and total psychological reevaluation of not just yourself but everyone around you and every character that you play. It's taxing, it's difficult, and it's a lot of hard work." Dennis Christilles, associate professor in the department of theater and film, says that the unseen hard work in theater is also what draws "easy" criticism from people. "A lot of people don't realize the long hours the students put in." Christy tells us. "If the play is very good it looks easy, effortless. But it takes a lot of time." The long hours spent rehearsing can cause additional stress as students must also worry about their education. Buchanan says the hardest thing for her is balancing her major along with school and a social life. "Being a theater major is kind of like having a major job, if you're fortunate to get cast," Buchanan says. "Your evenings are completely taken up, along with the weekends. You try to fit rehearsals with studying and friends; it's a challenge." However, jugling theater, sleep, school and friends can only be maintained for so long, and eventually something has to give. What to sacrifice is an easy choice for Ann Sitzman, Praire Village, junior, and it's not theater, friends or school. "I just don't sleep," Sitzman says. "Theater always comes first for me. My gen. eds are important, but the theater is why I pay so much money to be here. I stay up really late doing homework." One thing that Buchanan, Sitzman and Logan Walker, Garden City senior, have in common is a passion for acting. Buchanan has been involved in theater since sixth grade when she took part in school productions and then moved on to community theater. Originally a student at the University of Oklahoma, Buchanan transferred to KU after her freshman year, during which she contemplated quitting the theater. "I thought about changing majors because I didn't really like it that much," Buchanan says. "But after coming here and getting to experience the theater department at KU all the doubt went away." "One of the teachers said, 'come do theater for us, just for fun?' Sitzman says. "I did and I ended up really liking it. It's what I love in the world; my passion. It's pretty much what I want to do for the rest of my life." Sitzman became involved in high school theater at the suggestion of a drama instructor and has never looked back. Walker, who has been acting since middle school, says his sights have always been focused on theater. "There have been points that it's been hard," Walker says, "but it's just such a natural, high to me. that there's nothing that can stop me from acting." Theater is not solely actors on a stage, but also a vast array of people doing various behind-the-scenes jobs like lights, set building, sound crew, makeup and wardrobe. Acting isn't for everyone and sometimes the behind-the-scenes jobs are more appealing. Sitzman, a lighting design major, says. "Acting does not move me," Sitzman says. "I like to watch the changes, the textures, colors and see what Ive thought 'come to life.' I like to explore the way light changes the way actors look on stage." The majority of stage actors dream of one day headling a Broadway play—the culmination of all their hard work—but Broadway is not the only destination for actors. For Walker, just getting the opportunity to act in any capacity is enough for him. "What I'd really like to do is find an acting agency that will help me on stage somewhere and do that for as long as I can," Walker says. Walker may not be sure where theater may take him, but Buchanan says she would one day love to act in London. While studying abroad in London in 2006, Buchanan says she watched a woman deliver an act that has been a huge inspiration to her, and afterward got the chance to meet her. "She played a small part but gave a beautiful performance; just flawless," Buchanan says. "I got to meet her and her family and it's cool because I got to see that it's possible to have a successful career in theater and a family." Sometimes inspiration can come from an unlikely source. Tim Curry's performance in Monty Python's Spamalot is one that Walker admires and says he would one day like to emulate. "He's amazing and I really enjoyed his performance," Walker says. "It was ridiculous, it was so hilarious. I want to get to that point where people can just sit back and enjoy something I do."

Juliet Hart, education professor, has extremely dry, sensitive skin. The harsh Kansas winter wreaks havoc on her face and she says she is cautious about what she puts on her skin. "I practically wear scarves around my head rather than my neck in the winter," Hart says. "I'm afraid to put just anything on my face here, where my skin responds so harshly." Hart regularly purchases organic food wash at Salon di Marco, 733 Massachusetts Street. She recognizes a major difference in her complexion and also enjoys the perks that come along with being ecofriendly. "My skin isn't dry or bloody," she says.

The Merc offers more than 100 organic body-care products ranging from shampoo to deodorant. Evanhoe has an extensive routine she must go through to buy products for the store. She examines a product's ingredients, ethics and its national sales. She associates the increase in organic beauty product sales with the rise in organic food consumption. Evanhoe says that her personal routine has been made all the better by including organic and all-natural products into her morning and evening regimens. "More people are realizing that what's put on the skin is as important as what's put into the body," Evanhoe says. "I've been using organic products for a few years now," she says, "and now conventional products smell and feel strange to me." Fashion designers and major celebrities, such as Stella McCartney and Alicia Silverstone, have taken notice to the positive effects of organic body care, both physically and financially, and publicized the trend. McCartney is working side-by-side with haute couture fashion house Yves Saint Laurent to launch an exclusively organic skincare line. Silverstone is a propponent of animal rights and environmental awareness and swears by her everyday beauty regimen. Both women boast of the benefits associated with an organic beauty routine. Elizabeth Much, Silverstone's publicist, notes that Silverstone enjoys her organic products for multiple reasons. "Alicia uses an Australian organic line called Jurilure," Much says. "They don't test their products on animals and they are good for you." Michelle Dick, Leavenworth senior, purchases all-natural shampoo and conditioner from Aveda. She says that although organic products tend to be higher in price, she is willing to travel.com/business pay more for the positive effects. "My hair has never been so soft, Dick says." I understand that the organic products are expensive, but I like how I feel after I take a shower. I'm refreshed and energized and I don't feel like I lather unknown chemicals on my body. Consumers have started to prioritize beauty and health which is evident in the increasing sales statistics of organic beauty products. Rolling in the Green According to the United States Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program, organic products consist of renewable resources, cultivated by certified farmers, and ingredients that improve the conservation of the planet's natural resources and enhance the environment. The USDA regulates organic products, although beauty/skincare products have far less certification requirements than organic food because they're just starting to catch attention. A 2006 study by Klein & Company found that the global market of organic beauty products is valued at $1 billion. The study also reports a 50 percent growth since 2002 and predicts the industry will double its revenue over the next five years. The Global New Products Database, an organization affiliated with the market research group Mintel International, predicts that more organically-based products will hit the market in 2007 and that people now look for internal health and external beauty in one package. source:www.usda.gov, www.cosmeticdesign.com notice [New Signature Drinks] JAYPLAY = 09.13.2007 - Jayhawker Juice - Frozini (martini for wine lovers or the wine for martini lovers) - Eldridge Limeade $2 off on Wednesdays CITRUS FRANCE EVERY 1st & 3rd WEDNESDAY JAZZ NIGHT EVERY WEDNESDAY 25% OFF ALL WINE BOTTLES TEN great american food [the jayhawker] . 27 THE ELDRIDGE 701 Massachusetts Street • 749-1005 • www.eldrigehotel.com RAINE REVIEWS NEWS YOU CAN USE HAWK TOPICS 1 THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORTS THAT TWO-THIRDS OF THE WORLD'S POLAR BEAR POPULATION COULD BE GONE BY 2050 BECAUSE OF MELTING SEA ICE.

By Patrick Griffith PHOTO BY KATHERINE LOECKE Not even a month ago, freshman Diego Egoavil was on a 2 1/2 hour flight from Honduras to Miami. From there he flew to Kansas City, and then it was off to Lawrence to start his college career at KU. He's only been in Lawrence since August 8th. He's originally from Peru, but lives in Honduras. A week after he arrived in Lawrence he was told about something that would help him enormously to adapt to life in Kansas. Junior Eduardo Galdo, also from Peru, told Diego about a soccer team full of fellow international students from South America. His new team is called Real Latino, but it has been around a couple years. Real Latinio represents a tiny sect of KU's international student population. The team's mass of students that speak both English and Spanish fluently, matched with its ability to give students some of the comforts of home, make it very attractive to some international students. Real Latino is one of eight teams in the Lawrence Adult Soccer League. It has 18 people on the roster and 15 of them are KU students from freshman like Diego to graduates. The team has an eclectic group of students from all over South America. Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Paraguay, Honduras, Columbia, and Nicaragua are all represented on the team. Diego says the international students on the team were very helpful in his adapting to life at KU. They helped him with homework and showed him around campus. All the assistance his teammates gave him made Diego feel a lot more comfortable. He is one of five new players on the squad and he is one of the three new freshmen. Eduardo Galdo, the man who told Diego about the team, himself joined his freshman year in the spring of 2006. Back then he says that the team definitely helped him adapt to life in Kan- sas. He says the players helped new students make their first connections and answer their PIRELLI PHOTO BY KATHERINE LOECKE questions as well as help them out with the Lawrence nightlife Carlos Hernandez, sophomore from Venezuela, had a similar experience last year when he came to Kansas. He says the team helped him to meet a lot more people when he first got to Kansas. Before he even arrived at KU last year he had heard about the team and the Lawrence Sunday league. Playing with some of his international burdies, who all speak Spanish on the field, makes it so Carlos sometimes feels like he's not in the States and just playing with his high school buddies. Last spring, Carlos says he began to feel as though he belonged at KU because of the team and some of the friends he had made. The team's first game was Sunday August 26, and they won 4 to 2. Carlos himself said the game went pretty well, the team didn't have any troubles, and all the new guys were getting used to the team. Daphne Johnston, associate director of International Student and Scholar Services, works to help Kansas international students adapt to life in Kansas. I.S.S.D.s does many things to help international students get used to college abroad. It offers a Global Partners program, which matches international students up with American students based on their interests. The Lawrence Family Friendship Program is a Lawrence community project that is run through their office and it allows international students to be matched up with Lawrence Families. It also offers a special orientation. "The orientation is the most important because there are so many questions," Johnston says. She also says that many of the students meet a lot of their best friends that week. The special orientation this year was August 5-10. Real Latin plays on an under-maintained field off a winding road near Clinton Lake dam. This simple field is without substantial portions of grass in sections, but it means more than its maintenance would indicate. Although the fields back home are sometimes better, the players play wherever they can. It is one of the comforts of home, even if home is a thousand miles away for this handful of KU international students. 09.13.2007 = JAYPLAY contact 09 Jayplay SAYS Brought to you by the Jayplay editors BUY Crayola Anti-Roll Crayons Crayola ANTI-ROLL CRAYONS Heads up, you pastel- wielding coloring book artists.

"Ithinkit'smoresocialbecause you're not down chugging beer, youre able to sip, become relaxed and be more social," says Carey Winfield, a junior from Tulsa, Okla., who prefers wine to beer or liquor. Winfield, a waitress at Pachamama's, 800 New Hampshire St., knows more about wine than many students because she serves it off the upscale restaurant's extensive wine list and works the occasional wine tasting event. She developed an interest in the drink about five years ago after a friend introduced her to it.

The class, GEOG 571, Topics in cultural Geography: Wine, is full of wine-curious students and taught by professor and self-described wino George McCleary, he says that there are few fruits hat are more sensitive to their environment than grapes. However, it's been Kansas' political, rather than physical, environment that's contributed to the state's rather puny grape and wine market. Prohibition, hat scourge of fermented nerriment, resigned bottles to more often shattered than wallowed. According to a Kansas state Research and Extension publication on the history of grape growing in Kansas, Kansas became the first state to outlaw the manufacture and sale of alcohol in 1880. National prohibition in 1919 made matters worse and Kansas' wineries and thousands of acres of grapes were wiped out. Though national prohibition ended in 1933, Kansas wins like McCleary had to wait until 1985 for Kansas to allow wineries to operate again. Since then there's been a flowering of Kansas grape growers and winemakers. "There's a lot more happening here than there was 10 years ago," McCleary says.

Tony and Kay Kugler run Kugler's Vineyard just a few miles south of Lawrence. After Tony gets off work at Allen Press and Kay ends her day as a programmer at the University's Information Technology department, they tend their 1,200 grape vines. If you're surprised to learn that the Kuglers can grow grapes in the same summer that has the University's grass a crispy brown, you'll be astounded to know that they only irritate the vines once or twice per year. Tony says that when they planted their vineyard in 1996 they had to pick vines that would survive Kansas' sizzling summers and freezing winters. "Those wines that grow in California, they cannot grow here," Tony says. The five grape varieties that do grow at Kugler's Vineyard produced six tons of grapes last year. After the mid-August and September grape harvest, Tony says he and Kay ferment about 3,000 bottles of wine per year in the climate-controlled wine cellar beneath their house. One of the seven types of wine the Kuglers market, both at Lawrence's Mass Beverage, 3131A Neider Rd., and from at-home sales, won a bronze medal at St. Louis' National Norton Wine Competition in August. With wine selling from about $10 to$ 12, the Kuglers remind that you shouldn't buy wine simply because of a flashy label or high price. "That's for snobs. It's all about the flavor,"Tony says. WALLET WINE If you ready to take a sip out of your beverage cocoon, the rows of bottles at any liquor store may still be daunting. You can make your wine purchase more approachable by finding a vendor with some wine smarts. Steve Berger, owner of The Wine Cellar on the corner of Iowa and $25^{\mathrm{th}}$ streets, is a certified sommelier, a professional that can help you choose the right wine. Berger says that he would typically start a wine beginner off with a white wine with a little bit of sweetness, perhaps a Riesling, and then suggest something dryer, or less sweet. If you know you like dry wines, you might try a Chardonnay, which is among the driest wines. Though white wines vary widely between sweet and dry, red wines are almost always dry. If you go red, try a Pinot Noir, then may be a Merlot. Whatever wine you choose, be it a $2.99 jug,$ 6 box or $1,000 bottle, remember: It's what's on the inside that counts. "You don't have to spend $50 to get a good wine," Berger says. "You spend what you want, and if you're happy, perfect." WINE TASTING IN LAWRENCE Boozefish Wine Bar 1511 Westport Rd., Kansas City, Mo.

ILLUSTRATION BY CATHERINE COQUILETTE by Seongbae Cheon About a year ago, if you asked Thomas Lewis what he needed to play poker, he would have answered "a computer and a mouse." Lewis, Lawrence junior, used to be one of those people who preferred playing poker online. However, he has recently started to grab actual cards. According to Digital Journal, online poker has grown from an $82.7 million business in 2001 to a$ 2.4 billion business in 2005. Even though online poker continues to thrive, some people are returning to classic off-line poker for several reasons. One of the biggest reasons for this reverse in trend for some people is the chance to show off their poker skills. Essential skills of poker, such as bluffing and mind reading, are unlikely to be applicable online. Lewis says he got tired of online poker because of the disappointment he felt when he realized that his two weeks of poker study couldn't help him win the pots. He then decided to enter a free poker tournament in Lawrence, and discovered himself winning more often. "99 percent of the books I read assume you are playing poker at the real tables," Lewis says. "I didn't realize the difference from online poker at that time." Going to free tournaments became Lewis's hobby and he and his friends usually go every Thursday and Saturday. Although he and his buddies don't play poker to gamble, he discovered the adrenaline rush of acting when he faced the opponents. "You can actually feel your heartbeat increasing when you face your opponents in real life," Lewis says. Poker Pub, an entertainment company founded in Lawrence in 2004, has been providing free poker tournaments in Lawrence twice a day every week except Fridays. Followed by rapid growth, Poker Pub now hosts free Texas Hold'em tournaments in more than 15 cities including Topека, Austin, Texas, Denver, and St. Louis. Melissa Nagy was a student at KU when she used to go out to free tournaments to have a couple of drinks and get better at poker. She is now a manager of Poker Pub in Lawrence. "It's a great place to meet people, learn or perfect the game of poker and have fun." Nagy says. Social atmosphere is another major reason people go out to play poker. Nagy says people participating in the free tournaments can be more social than others playing for money. The graphics of online poker games are impressive—they even try to catch the smallest details like a character's facial expressions of winners and losers, all kinds of ridiculous sunglasses and hats, and that rattling sound people make with "YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL YOUR HEARTBEAT INCREASING WHEN YOU FACE YOUR OPPONENTS IN REAL LIFE." THOMAS LEWIS facial expression—but are still not comparable to a real poker environment. Online characters don't scream or even kick over a chair like Phil Hellmuth did in the World Series of Poker. The their chips are scenes you can only see from real poker tables. poker chips. He says the pleasant feeling people get from touching poker chips encourages them to come out from behind their computer screens. Luis Marquez, dealer at the Harrah's casino, says certain people like to come out to play poker because of "It's like touching the real money." Marquez says. "You can't get this kind of feeling when you see chips online." Peter Steiner, author of Thursday night poker: how to understand, enjoy and win, says a lot of people tend to enjoy the excitement and the privileges poker brings to them. According to his book, people enjoy the "release of aggressions through the legitimized use of hostile and self-serving behavior that may be frowned upon in everyday pursuits." This is one of the reasons poker has become popular entertainment between friends beyond the gambling aspect, Steiner says. Still, online poker remains the vehicle through which most of us play poker nowadays. The easy accessibility of online poker and the chance to practice poker skills for free is still appealing for poker-lovers. Online poker is usually more fast-paced, and also offers different types of poker games other than Texas Hold'em. So let your computer rest once in a while, grab a deck of cards and chips and play with your friends, it's always nice to play a game the way it was meant to be played.

"If people go too far in, they can actually puncture the eardrum, and you risk hearing loss as well as infection," says Stephen Segebrecht, ear, nose and throat specialist with Lawrence Otolaryngology Associates. Wax only forms on the outer part of the ear, so using a cotton swab is actually what pushes wax back to cause build-up deep in the ear. "When people have waxy all the way down by their eardrum, you almost see a concavity that corresponds to a Q-tip hit," says Barry Castaneda, Topea耳, nose and throat specialist. Cleaning just the outer crevices is all that's needed to keep ears wax free, and, if you do use a cotton swab, Castaneda recommends holding it at the cotton tip to keep from going too far in. To clear a waterlogged ear sans cotton swab, Segebrecht says to put in several drops of rubbing alcohol, lean over, shake your ear and then listen as the water dislaps no swabbage required. then listen as the water disappears, no swabbage required. VERDICT—BAD FOR YOU. VERDICT—B Megan Hirt that's disgusting SHOO FLY, DON'T BOTHER ME (OR PUKE ON MY FOOD) In the movie The Fly there's a scene in which Jeff Goldblum's character, half-human, half-housefly, barfs on a donut in order to dissolve it and then digest it. While the movie is science-fiction, this scene isn't too far from science fact. Flies have a spike located in their mouth which they stick into their food. They then use the spike to vomit on the food, dissolving it, and ultimately ingest it through their toothless mouths. There's a bigger issue here, though—they're doing this every time they land on your plate. Even worse, they're leaving more than just puke on your food. "Files feed on all types of garbage and animal waste, and those bacteria can stick to their legs and hair," says Douglas County Extension Agent Susan Krumm. In addition to the germs of the turds they land on, flies can also carry strep and staph infections and, in rare cases, typhoid fever. Krumm advises people to make sure they have screens on their doors, and to keep their food covered when they aren't eating. In the case of a picnic, she says that spray of a picnic, she says that spray- ing the area with bug spray a few hours in advance is a good idea. If a fly does crawl all over your meal, however, you don't necessarily have to throw it away. "It's probably not smart to eat it," says Krumm, "but the health risks are minimal. We have strong immune systems." So now that you know your body can handle a fly food invasion, do you think your stomach can? lies ases, have don't Jared Duncan Every Thursday...

THE MARKETING OF THE SEVENTH CENTURY Oh, and he's the bandite whose unchecked hubris has led him to piss off a pimp Yankee who is trying to reclaim his dignity. With the dueling lines scratched in the dirt, all we need to do is revel in the fun of watching Russell Crowe and Christian Bale go head-to-head. Remaking 3:10 to Yuma is a nice fit for a contemporary audience.In the 1957 original, the antagonist possessed a certain sense of morality that was uncharacteristic for classic westerns, and the 2007 screenplay builds on this by further deepening characters and blurring their loyalties.The outlaw is no longer just bad to be bad—rather, he starts bad, encounters a dilemma, and has the capacity to change. The remaining elements of the genre are left intact, giving 3:10 to Yuma the feel of a bona-fide western. Desert towns stay true to the classic layout, which kept me half-expecting to spot Mr. Will Kane defending justice. The dry southwest landscape is so visually stunning that my mouth became parched just from watching. became patient just from the casting director does no wrong. As Ben Wade, Russell Crowe pulls off a Gladiator-esque performance, and Christian Bale makes every role he takes look natural.

Adrienne Bommarito PIZZA-PIE IN YOUR FACE foodreview There are literally dozens of pizza places in town and it's hard to tell which is the best. Excluding corporate chains, here's a list of where to start. Pizza Shuttle 1601 W. 23rd St. S4-S15 Known to some as Shitsa Puddle, nothing beats a two-fer when you and your friend are drunk watching late night infomercials. It's cheap and you pay for what you get. It's a tradition not to be messed with and with two pizzas for $10? Unbeatable. ★★ Rudy's Pizzeria 704 Massachusetts St. $2-$ 20 If you haven't heard of Rudy's, you should be shamed. You have to head downstairs to get to it but the red wine sauce makes its worth it. They have three sauces and more than 40 ingredients, which makes for lots of amazing pizza. Wheat State Pizza ★★★★ 711 W.23rd St. $4-$ 19 This is one of my personal favorites for actual pizza. Their wheat crust is mouthwatering. It makes you feel okay about eating pizza if you're trying to watch your weight, because it's made out of wheat... and wheat's good for you, right? ★★★★ Papa Keno's 1035 Massachussetts St. $3-$ 40 ne sauce makes it have three sauces 40 ingredients, lots of amaz- Save the best for last. Pizza by the slice has never been done better. Everything about pizza is great when the slices are as big as your face. You can also have a beer with your pizza, or fresh hand-made breadsticks that are better than any Italian restaurant's.

HAWK 64-1990 Toor Kansasas Union HAWK 4-1990 Tailor Kansas Union HAWK 64-1990 door Kansas Union (2) French Fulfillment My dream of studying in France helped me let go of my eating disorder. Run four miles every day. Nibble the skin of an apple for dinner. Ignore the weak- ness, the dizziness. Just keep running. This race never has a finish line. For two of my years at KU, my closest friend, my full-time job, my god was an eating disorder. I knew what passed my lips better than I knew how to put breath in my lungs. Carrot. Toothpaste. Holy Communion. I didn't eat a morsel without passionately deliberating, then feeling a terrified guilt that each crumb would become skin. ILLUSTRATION BY BECKA CREMER After every meal—half an English muffin and five grapes—I would rush to the mirror, hands pressing desperately across my stomach, as though fingers against flesh could somehow make sense of my life lost in hopeless chaos. Every bone in my back showed. I awoke each night to burning muscle cramps,my body feeding on itself. My hair fell out,and what remained was brittle and broken. My fingers and toes were perpetually cold,bluish and Amy frail.I blacked out twice in public. By Megan Hirt I didn't know how to explain to friends that I couldn't go out because I was fatigued by 8 p.m. from starving myself and planned to wake up before dawn to exercise. I drove friends away because of my obsession, my complete focus on myself. Their leaving puzzled me at the time because my eating disorder was, after all, what I thought would bring me into some surreal state of orace where everyone would be magically drawn to the New Me. I would be able to connect with people once I was thin. Life itself would finally begin. Once I was thin. But in my mind, thin never came, even when my body mass was low enough for hospitalization. And I wanted to go I wanted to give in to the disease. Let it define me. Make myself safe inside the firm walls of anorexia. I wanted to be the girl with so much self-control. The girl above all human hungers. The girl who simply didn't need. It would be impossible to untangle all life's layers to find the root of this psychosis, which made me truly believe my value as a person would increase as my body gradually vanished. While my driven, obsessive and perfectionist personality no doubt played a huge role in fostering an eating disorder, I also found myself up against a culture that shamelessly prescribes starvation. A culture that, with its fetish for fad diets and hollow-eyed, stick-thin, asexual models, screams that the worst way for a woman to fall is to be overweight. The perfectionist in me would accept no form of failure. And so I threw myself headlong into a maze of mirrors, scales and enduring emptiness, physical and emotional. I was set on the slow suicide of an eating disorder. But when a team of doctors hired by my distraught parents hit me with the realization that my eating disorder would ultimately cost me my progress in French and the opportunity to study in France, I began, with no great ease, to claw my way out of a quicksand that nearly covered me. French was the only thing that gave me purpose—the one thing I'd invested too much of my life in to trade for white walls, a paper gown and a feeding tube. I wasn't afraid of never being able to have children. I wasn't afraid of the wrecked immune system, the heart murmur, the premature aging, the chance of dying, Death isn't real to a 19-year-old. I was afraid that, if I did live, I would never be able to reach a goal I'd started working toward long before I was intent on pounding the treadmill to an early grave. And I would have to live with that fact—that I had given up a part of me so special and promising to be just like every other super-skinny model-wannabe looking oh-so-blase- and-wasted and-vain. Because the world doesn't already have enough of those girls. I underwent treatment at an outpatient eating disorders clinic. Finding only problem. "I WOULD BE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE ONCE I WAS THIN. LIFE ITSELFWOULD FINALLY BEGIN. BUT IN MY MIND, THIN NEVER CAME." As months of treatment passed, an idea slowly came alive within the part of me I'd been trying so hard to kill—maybe letting go of the eating disorder would mean I succeeded, not that I had failed. Maye days should be spent doing other things besides counting calories, miles, pounds. Mye different ways to deal with the storm of fears and insecurities inside me was the most difficult thing I have ever done. I'd never had to face anything real when I believed weight was my worth wasn't contingent on the mirror and some arbitrary point in time when I was sure—absolutely 100 percent positive—that my thighs were thinner than they are right now. Nothing was as saddening as finally gathering the strength to walk away from it all, only to find that the emptiness in my life I thought I could fill by losing weight had only become larger. What I thought was my route to success had really been held me back. What was supposed to at last give me an identity ended up stripping me of any shred of personality, leaving me, at the time, just a shrunken human shell, a non-being, too wrapped up in her jutting bones to value or be of value to anyone else. I continue to battle my eating disorder every day. It won't give up without a fight. But I know this fight is worth it. The dream of studying in France and the fulfillment I find in writing help me stay in the fight. Words are my future. Silencing myself no longer interests me, nor does backing out of life because sometimes it's stressful and messy and confusing and dealing with it would mean taking a long, hard look at myself and for once not taking the easy way out. I know dying is much easier. But living—with its missed alarm clocks, muddy shoes, faded friendships and those itchy regrets that just never go away—is infinitely worth the hassle. Ca va bien.

Carole Guillaume of Watkins Memorial Health Center said that the presence of tech equipment in bedrooms made people of all ages think they had work to do and did not allow their bodies to relax and transition into sleep mode. Guillaume suggests people should keep their bedrooms electronics-free to ensure nood sleep. Nighttime tech use curbs sleep Studies show using electronic equipment keeps body active, restless mdent@kansan.com BY MARK DENT Nintendo Wii is calling Doug Bradys name. Brady, Topeka freshman, has just finished his homework and wants to reward himself. He plays for a half hour then goes to sleep at about midnight — or at least he tries to. "I notice after playing video games I get wound up," Brady said. "Sometimes I struggle to fall asleep." Recent studies by the British Sleep Council have shown that the prevalence of electronic devices in bedrooms causes teenagers to take longer to fall asleep. Carole Guillaume, a staff physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center certified in family and sleep medicine, agreed with the study's results and said the subject had been studied several times. She said TVs, cell phones, computers, "The bedroom should be a restful environment. It should be reserved for sleep, sex and sickness." including college students, because they took away the transition time from the hectic pace of life to the sleep world. The electronic devices stimulate people who use them before bed, Guillaume said. They turn on the body's sympathetic nervous system when people need to turn on the parasympathetic nervous system to relax. She said people should unwind for an hour before they went to bed. music players and other devices inhibited the ability to fall asleep for people of all ages. Guillaume said the presence of electronics could be just as negative as using them. She gave the example of a computer. She said the DR. CAROLE GUILLAUME Staff Physician Watkins Memorial Health Center sight alone could make a person feel like work needs to be done. "You should really have a bedroom without electronics in it," Guillaume said. "The bedroom should be a restful environment. It should be reserved for sleep, sex and sickness." he and his roommate shared a TV and a Nintendo Wii and each had a laptop. Jill Most college rooms aren't. They have more gadgets in them than Circuit City. Brady said by the numbers College students and electronics: 41 percent own a portable MP3 player 3. 5 average hours spent on the internet per day 20 average minutes spent texting every day Alloy College Explorer Study Dorsey, Topeka freshman, usually talks on her cell phone before she goes to bed and sometimes uses her computer. National statistics show similarities. According to the Alloy College Explorer Study, 41 percent of college students owned a portable MP3 player in 2006. Students spent about three and a half hours each day on the Internet and 20 minutes text messaging. Taking a long time to fall asleep is a problem for college students. Guillaume said college students needed about seven and a half to nine hours of sleep each night, although it varies for each person. If it took someone a long time to fall asleep, Guillaume said, he or she will would to sleep in late. That's not possible for students who have classes in the morning. Guillaume said lack of sleep could cause headaches, poor memory, poor concentration and falling asleep in class. Guillaume also said use of alcohol combined with a lack of sleep was twice as bad. Even with these studies, it could be tough to pull college students away from their electronics. Brady said the seven hours of sleep that he averaged a night was plenty. "Once I get going, I'm fine," he said. "If I get in a really boring class, it's different. But even if you get 10 hours of sleep you'd struggle to get through those classes." Dorsey said she thought she could fall asleep faster if she stopped talking on her phone before bed, but she had no plans of stopping her nightly routine. "I'm so tired 50 percent of the time that I skip it because I don't want to get wound up," Brady said. "The other 50 percent — I just can't resist it." Brady is slightly more likely to change his ways. He said he had already started playing less Wii to get more Zs. — Edited by Amelia Freidline ENTERTAINMENT Catch the 'Buzz' at comedy performance Students looking for some entertainment before the start of Saturday's football game can watch comedian Buzz Sutherland perform.

BEAKEND BY KATHERINE LESLIE to Nashville, Washington, D.C., and New York. The exhibition is open during museum hours from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. GET READY FOR THE AARON DOUGLAS EXHIBIT The Spencer Museum of Art will present the "Aaron Douglas: African American Modernist" exhibit until Dec. 2. The exhibit brings together nearly 100 rarely-seen works from public institutions and private collections, as well as portraits of Douglas, printing plates and sketchbooks. Douglas, who has been called the father of black American art by philosopher and writer Alain Locke, used angular cubist rhythms and captivating art-deco dynamism along with more time-honored African and African American imagery to create an almost utopian ideal in his murals, paintings and sketches. This Sunday at the Granada, 1020 Mass. St., Cartel, Nightmares of You and Weatherbox will be playing at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the show, which is open to all ages, are $18. The Spencer Museum of Art is the Douglas exhibit's first stop in a national tour that later will travel Cartel, which promises a "big rock sound," has sold nearly a quarter of a million copies of its debut album, "Chroma." Its sophomore album, self-titled "Cartel," is in stores now. The band draws on The Beatles, CARTEL/THE HONORARY TITLE/WEATHERBOX Radiohead, The Beach Boys and Led Zeppelin as its inspiration, and has been playing together since 2000. The Honorary Title is a indie rock band that has two albums out, "Anything Else but the Truth" and "Scream and Light up the Sky." The band has been hailed as "emotionally poignant" by PopMatters critics, and combines "raw emotion with pop hooks" to defy genre classifications. Weatherbox has three albums in stores, "The Clearing," "4 Songs" and "American Art." The band plays a combination of indie, hard-core, and rock music that some MySpace fans rave as "auhmazingggg," and "pretty much the best."

Officials stop trying to save 'Superman' from ridicule CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan officials withdrew a proposal to bar parents from giving their children odd names like Edigiaith, Mileidy or Superman, the state-run news agency reported Thursday. The National Electoral Council had proposed banning "names that expose (children) to ridicule, are extravagant or difficult to pronounce" or raise doubts about whether a child is a girl or a boy The council also proposed to draw up a list of traditional names for parents to use "as a reference" when registering their children. But the clause prohibiting odd monikers was axed after child protection officials warned it could violate "the right to liberty." Electoral Council member Sandra Oblitas was quoted as saying by the Bolivarian News Agency. MANNING, S.C. — A woman who went to court to pay a traffic ticket drove there in a stolen car and later ended up behind bars, authorities said.

Last year, the University was ranked 79th on the Sexual Health Report Card. Ken Sarber, health educator for the Wellness Resource Center, said he was pleased with the results. "I am happy to see us improve from 79th to 45th, but I would also like to continue on our path towards being No. 1 on the list." Sarber said. The study, which was released on Sexual health Top five sexually healthy schools in 2007: 1. University of Minnesota 2. University of Wyoming 3. University of Washington 4. Rutgers University 5. Purdue University Monday, ranked universities based on programs and resources available on campuses across the country. 135. Villanova University 136. University of Arkansas 137. Arkansas State University 138. University of Louisiana 139. Louisiana Tech University Worst five sexually healthy schools: Source: Trojan Brand Condoms Bert Sperling, owner of Sperlings' BestPlaces, the company that conducted the study, said he chose the 139 colleges that participated in the study based on size and iconic value. Sperling said the universities ranked highest had better and more accessible resources for students. "What we found is that they had the largest number of resources available for students," Sperling said of the top-ranked universities. "The schools that ranked near the top had universally high grades in the 11 categories we looked at." According to a press release by Trojan, Sperling's BestPlaces ranked each university on the following categories: sexual health awareness programs, condom and contraception availability, HIV testing, other sexually transmitted infection testing, student health center hours of operation, drop-in versus appointment-based service, navigability and usability of Web-based sexual health information, anonymous advice/newspaper columns, lecture outreach programs, student peer groups and sexual assault programs. The highest-ranked university, according to the report card, was the University of Minnesota, and the lowest-ranked university was Louisiana Tech University. Sexual facts By age 25, half of all sexually active students will have a STI (sexually transmitted infection). 75 percent of women and 50 percent of men infected with Chlamydia do not have symptoms. Sarber said that the Wellness Testing for STIs is available at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Sources: www.gueswhosgotit.com and Watkins Memorial Health Center Resource Center was always looking to talk with students to improve services. He said that the most important things college students should do to stay sexually healthy was to have safe sex and get tested if they did engage in unsafe sex. Sperling said that ultimately it was up to students to rank their own university's health center. "They know better than any how the University health system meets their needs," Sperling said. "If it isn't meeting their needs, they should have a dialogue about it." Edited by Jeff Briscoe CRIME Trial starts for church leader accused of arranging marriage for 14-year-old girl BY JENNIFER DOBNER ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. GEORGE, Utah — Seven women and five men were selected as jurors Thursday to decide whether the leader of a polygamist sect coerced a 14-year-old girl into marrying her older cousin. Warren Jeffs, the head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which broke away from the Mormon church, is charged with two counts of rape by accomplish in the girl's marriage to her 19-year-old cousin. The girl the girl has testified that Jeffs told her she risked her salvation if she refused to enter the religious union in 2001. Many had speculated it would Opening statements are expected Thursday after more than three days of jury selection. The trial is expected to last through next week. prophet who communicates with God and holds dominion over their salvation. Former church members say the one-time school principal reigns with an iron fist, demanding perfect obedience from followers. Jeffs has led the FLDS church since 2002. Followers see him as a State Fifth District Judge James Shumate said polygamists perceived themselves as involved in a civil rights struggle, similar to that of blacks who"refused to sit in the back of the bus'in the 1950s. Jeffs, 51, was a fugitive for nearly two years and was on the FBI's Most Wanted list when he was arrested during a traffic stop outside Las Vegas. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars. be difficult to seat an impartial jury in Washington County because of intense media coverage and because Jeffs' insular FLDS church is based only about 50 miles east in the twin border towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz. In questioning with one prospective juror Wednesday, State Fifth District Judge James Shumate said polymagists perceived themselves as involved in a civil rights struggle, similar to that of blacks who "refused to sit in the back of the bus" in the 1950s. Polygamy advocates have long contended that the freedom to practice plural marriage as part of their religion is a civil rights matter. FLDS members believe polygamy brings exalation in heaven. The practice is banned in the Utah Constitution, though, and it is considered a felony offense. The Mormon church disavowed polygamy in 1890 and excommunicates members found to still be practicing plural marriage. Jeffs is not charged with being a polygamist, and the marriage between the cousins was monogamous. Some hold the practice "as an intentional act of civil disobedience, just as in the civil-rights era when some members of our African-American community refused to sit in the back of the bus," Shumate said. But polygamy, he said, "cannot be allowed by jurors to be a focus of concern." Jeff's attorneys have used a civil rights comparison in asking potential jurors if they were bothered that the sect embraced an illegal practice. Jeffs also faces four felony counts under 2005 indictments for sexual contact with a minor and conspiracy in more marriages involving young girls. ENTERTAINMENT Catch the 'Buzz' on Saturday Comedian prefers Midwestern audiences, anonymity BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com Jeff "Buzz" Sutherland has never been on David Letterman or Jay Leno. He never has appeared on CBS, NBC or ABC. But on college campuses, Sutherland is a star. Sutherland is a five-time National Association of Campus Activities Comedian of the Year and will perform at 2 p.m. Saturday in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Tickets still are available and cost $5 for the general public or are free with an SUA Preferred Student Card. Susan Hoffman, assistant director of Union Programs, has known Sutherland for years and has seen him perform. "He is phenomenal," she said. "I like him because he really interacts with the audience." For the past 18 years, Sutherland has traveled across the country performing at college campuses nationwide. Locally, he's performed at the Lied Center and also in Hays, Hutchinson, Kansas City and elsewhere. He hasn't become famous on a national scale, and that's OK with him. The 41-year-old knows his audience: college students. His comedy is "all about family." He focuses on "You limit yourself when you work that way," he said. Sutherland grew up in St. Louis. As a college student, he majored in English and history. clean comedic material that is not offensive. "I always wanted to be a writer." Sutherland said. One fall night in 1985 he squeezed into the back of an auditorium to watch a certain comedian perform. On stage was Jerry Seinfeld. "To be fair." He has since performed on MTV, A&E and CMT most recently. Sutherland said he had no interest in a career in Los Angeles or New York. He prefers the Midwest where he can live in anonymity. "Football is a stupid game." "I am very content with where i am in my career," he said. Sutherland has family in Olathe "He is phenomenal. I like him because he really interacts with the audience." SUSAN HOFFMAN Assistant Director, Union Programs Seinfeld told the crowd that night. The crowd laughed. Those five words changed Sutherland's life. His performance on his first night on stage was good enough to land him a spot on HBO's "Comic Relief." He left the auditorium and went home and packed. He went to perform at the Funny Bone, a local club. They offered him a job — not as a comedian, but as a waiter. But he also got a tryout — his chance to be on stage. He took the job but never had to serve a table. "I love the KU campus," he said. family in Olathe and is familiar with the University. He said he always enjoyed coming back. stage with Sutherland. Those attending Saturday's event can expect to possibly go on He might show them a dance move or two. But he said he would use a positive message, jokingly serious as he gives students advice on life. Sutherland said one of his best jokes was when he explained that moms have the toughest job in the world and just how quickly a dad could come home, get upset and go to bed: "Hi, honey, I'm home. Dang it! Good night!"

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN McLeod: KU's rich history and traditions are comforts to students as they make their way through school. WWW.KANSAN.COM Slimmermon: In fashion, there's a fine line between being cutting edge and being untasteful. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14,2007 19 GOING ON 40 to petition the government for a redress of grievances PAGE 5A PAGE 5A Distribution of student salaries needs second look Senators' salaries unjustly large compared with other undergraduate positions Many of you have already heard about the University's decision to give certain members of the Student Senate hierarchy so-called "free tuition," so I will spare you most of the details. Lynn Bretz, director of University Communications, said that under current University policy the president, vice-president, treasurer and legislative director of the undergraduate Senate and the treasurer, communications the treasury and finance executives of the graduate Senate do not get paid. The only compensation they receive for their work—besides getting into almost FRANCESCA CHAMBERS any graduate school or job that they want after college—is the benefit of paying "staff fees," which are slightly less than "resident tuition." Therefore, those students who live in-state are not really receiving a benefit at all. However, according to the Student Senate payroll, these students already receive $340 every two weeks. If this is true, then there is absolutely no reason to revise the current policy. I get it that these students do a lot for the University and deserve to be compensated. But $2,922 each semester seems a bit overboard. When I calculated the amount they will be receiving if money were paid out each week like a real job, (subtracting finals week, the weeks of Fall break and Thanksgiving break and including the week before Hawk Week), these students will be receiving $230 a week, or $15 an hour for 15 hours a week. When I asked her if the University had thought about applying this policy to other highly involved individuals in student organizations, she said that she doubted any other student group spent comparable amounts of time helping the University and that they would have a hard case to make if they thought they did. Bretz said the reason these students deserve such a large sum of money is because of the amount of time and effort their jobs take. She also said that it is a common practice for universities to provide benefits to students who take on large responsibilities, whether that is an hourly rate or some other means of compensation. I can't speak for other organizations, but I know for a fact that the editors of the Kansan put in a comparable amount of work and time to that of the student senate hierarchy—and worse hours too. We get paid hourly, but it's half the amount as they will receive; we get paid University minimum wage just like everyone else. I've heard the argument that if it were not for Student Senate, we would not have students representing our voice to the University. If it was not for the Kansan no one would know what Student Senate was up to, which personally makes me uncomfortable. Here's an idea. What if we stopped producing the Kansan just because we felt like it (considering we're so expendable)? I know some smart-alcecks out there would not care, and other- ers would miss only Free For All and the entertainment page, but most reasonable students understand what a tragedy it would be if there was no one to alert them of activities and changes in policies around campus. DRAWING BOARD I'm not trying to petition for more money or toot my own horn. I'm just trying to point out that there are other organizations that bring as much to the table as Student Senate and are not reaping such enormous benefits, and the only way I know how to prove that is through the only organization I am a part of, the Kansan. In addition, I would like to say that there are other members of the Student Senate hierarchy who would not be affected by this revision who put in just as much time and work as those being affected, which is not fair either. Another Kansan staff member also pointed out to me that she would hope that these students are already on merit-based scholarships that provide these benefits. True. One can only hope the students making all the decisions that affect us are smart enough to receive scholarships. One can only hope. My suggestion is simply that these Student Senate members be treated the same way that the rest of us who work for the University are treated. They should only receive the University minimum wage for their time, which can be feasibly estimated considering it is at the Kansan and it seems to work out just fine for us.

THERE WAS A STAMPEDE ON THE PARK AND RIDE BUS YESTERDAY. OH, MAN. DON'T MOPEDS GET LIKE 80 MILES A GALLON? THE DURBIN DISPATCH MAX RINKEL Suicide simply not just a statistic Reports surface shedding light on both increased attempts and deaths by teenagers CHELSEA DURBIN Death is a subject that someday everyone will face. Not only do we all have to accept our own, but a majority of us will be affected with friends and family passing away through the course of time. Often, those deaths leave us with marks, memories, and impacts that are carried with us through life, and sometimes into the lives of others. It is because of those marks, memories, and impacts that I have chosen to write this column; a dedication to those lives. It is fully understood that the only way to enter this world is through the miracle of birth; however, when looking at exiting, or death, it's significant to understand that it comes in many forms; one of these ways being suicide. Recently it has been reported that there is an alarming increase in the amount of teen suicides plaguing this country. In fact, the amount has risen so dramatically, that scientists are slightly baffled at the reason behind the increase. Normally I would take this news with a grain of salt, and chalk it up to just another statistic Unfortunately however, over the course of the year I personally have been affected by a number of friends and classmates ending their lives too young. It is true that very few actions generate as much emotion in family members or friends as suicidal behavior. On average, for every suicide there are six survivors left behind (I find this statistic very conservative) to cope with complex feelings of shock, grief, anger, guilt, and the haunting question of "Why?" Some experts even rank the trauma of losing a loved one to suicide as "catastrophic," possibly even similar to surviving a concentration camp experience. Death from suicide is different from others forms because the people we love dearly seem to choose death over life. However, it's important to understand that in reality the goal of suicide is a release from pain, not a release from life. On August 31, someone I knew chose to end their life at the tender age of seventeen, and it created an earthquake of emotion that will be felt for decades. As someone who is looking at this from the sidelines, it's hard for me to comprehend the psychological trauma that led to the end of a truly amazing person. I know a few of the main reasons this person chose suicide over life was due to fact that they felt alone and helpless, but the truth is they were not alone, nor were they helpless. The heart of my article is not to preach about suicide, but to rather make people aware that no matter how alone or helpless you feel, there is always someone who loves, cares, and needs you. I have watched this suicide not only affect their family and their immediate friends, but an entire community who is now grieving for the loss of a life cut short. I would give anything to show this person the words, the tears, the memories, the photographs, and the impacts they have left not only on my heart, but the worlds. I leave this column with a few last requests: Live your lives letting the people who are important to you know that you care; love is one of the most important things we have. If someone you know is depressed, please talk to them and encourage them to get help if it's needed. And last but not least, remember those who have lost their lives to suicide, because as a survivor of suicide, Norman Cousins says, "Death is not greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." Durbin is a Hays junior in English and journalism.

Oil first traded over $80 a barrel on Wednesday after the Energy Department reported declines in inventories and a drop in refinery activity, but ended the day below that psychologically important mark. On Thursday, Humberto added to the supply concerns by cutting power to several refineries in the Port Arthur, Texas, area. Another tropical system gaining strength in the Atlantic also supported prices. Light, sweet crate for October delivery finished at a record $80.09, above the previous record close of $79.91 set a day earlier. Despite the gains, oil is still well below inflation-adjusted highs hit in 1980. Depending on the adjustment, a $38 barrel of oil in 1980 would be worth $96 to $101 or more today. The October oil contract also set an intraday record of $80.20 a barrel on Thursday, 2 cents above the previous trading high set Wednesday. Humberto lost strength Thursday and was downgraded to a tropical storm. Traders appear more concerned about the Atlantic storm, which the National Hurricane Center is calling Tropical Depression Eight. While the storm's course remains unclear, energy investors get worried any time a tropical storm or hurricane threatens key oil and gas infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico.

Japan's space agency, JAXA. plans to launch its long-delayed orbiter SELENE from a remote Pacific Island on Friday. NASA next year will rocket a lunar orbiter and impactor, the first of several lunar robotic projects before astronauts are sent to the moon next decade. The competition comes at a time of revived interest in lunar exploration among foreign governments since the Cold War space race. Governments including the United States and those in Europe and Asia are gearing up to return to the moon. The rules call for a spacecraft to trek at least 1,312 feet across the lunar surface and return a package of data including self-portraits, panoramic views and near-real time videos. Participants are also responsible for securing a launch vehicle for the probe, either by building it themselves or contracting with an existing rocket company. The race to the moon won't be easy or cheap. Teams have to raise money to build a roaming spacecraft that will be tough enough to survive a landing and have the smarts to complete a set of tasks. Each rover must also be equipped with high-definition video and still cameras to document the journey. Whoever accomplishes the feat by the end of 2012 will receive $20 million. If there is no winner, the purse will drop to $15 million until the end of 2014 when the contest expires. There is also a $5 million second-place prize and $5 million in bonus money to teams that go beyond the minimum requirements. --- PIEROGUYS pierogies The PIEROGUYS KU pierogies "We're Our Own Food Group" NEW late night & all day food!

She went to Target with her parents, decorated her room and tried to get used to being in 250-person lecture classes. But unlike most freshmen, Manda also had to deal with moving right into the starting libero position for the Kansas volleyball team. "It can be kind of tough to find time to sleep," said Manda, a Witcha native. But Manda's story is a familiar one around the Kansas volleyball program. Coach Ray Bechard has used four freshmen in his rotation at certain times this year. Manda and jenna. Kaiser, another. Jenna Kaiser, another Wichita native, have seen substantial court time. Freshmen Karina Garlington and Melissa Townsend also have played big points for the Jayhawks this year. Bechard said he didn't remember the last time he had this many freshmen. Manda men contributing to the team. "You have to expect some growing pains, a little bit of inconsistency." Bechard said. "Hopefully as they get more comfortable, we'll see less and less of those up and down times." Manda has shined at times for a Kansas team that is 7-4 after losing its Big 12 conference opener to Kansas State on Wednesday. She has played in all 11 matches. Her 3.8 digs per game leads the team and ranks ninth in the Big 12. But although the libero's main job is to feed the ball cleanly to the setter, it also requires constant communicate with teammates. "It can be kind of intimidating," Manda said. "But the upperclassmen have been very welcoming." Bechard said that Kaiser, who leads the team with 2.38 kills per game, has been thrown into a tough situation as well. Kaiser, an outside hitter, has played most of the season on the left side. "It's one of the most difficult positions to try to make the transition to in Big 12 play," Bechard said. Junior middle blocker Savannah Noyes said the toughest part about the freshmen transition was keeping your confidence up. The Indianola, Neb., native said it was natural for freshman to get down when things didn't go right on the court. "The upperclassmen just need to keep them confident," Noyes said. Although Bechard said he had maybe done a little more teaching at times this year, he said the real key was having your captains and upperclassmen provide good examples. "That's the biggest thing." Bechard said. "That's where the young players are going to look to first, their teammates." — Edited by Ashlee Kieler TAKING 'EM DOWN game info Kansas at Oklahoma 11 a.m. Saturday Kansas travels to Norman, Okla., to take on the Sooners at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

I can see the formations and what plays they could run on any down and distance." Mortensen, who shifted from outside to middle linebacker at the start of this season. held a physical edge over his opponents during his high school years. He said his ability to dominate the game physically allowed him to play as a rover, blizzing at will and seldom dropping back into pass coverage. When he arrived at Kansas, the Concord, Calif., native could no longer get by on pure athleticism against opponents who equaled his size and strength. Mortensen said he looked at veteran teammates such as Nick Reid and Kevin Kane as examples of linebackers who stood out because of their ability to combine physical talent with mental sharpness. After Kane graduated and turned his job over to Mortensen, he stuck around the football program and helped teach Mortensen how to the three favorite plays they like to run, so before the snap I can put myself in the right spot," Mortensen said. "You don't have to run a 4.4 or have a 40-inch vert. You can be in the right spot and be a good football player." The extra homework has paid off in a big way. Through two games, Mortensen leads the team with 17 tackles and 5.5 tackles-for-loss. His fantastic perfor- watch film and analyze offensive schemes. "I can see each formation and know "You don't have to run a 4.4 or have a 40 inch vert. You can be in the right spot and be a good football player." JOE MORTENSEN Kansas junior linebacker mance last weekend against Southeastern Louisiana propelled him to the top of the Big 12 tackles-for-loss leaderboard and into a tie for 10th place in the conference for tackles. Coach Mark Mangino said Mortensen's move to middle linebacker and his increased focus on the mental side of the game have led to the early-season breakout. "Joe was a product of, 'If I lift weights." Big 12 stats Big 12 Conference knickles-for-loss leaders 1. Joe Mortensen, Kansas — 5.5 TFL 2. Nic Harris, Oklahoma — 4.5 TFL 3. John Larson, Kansas — 4 TFL work out and hit people on the practice field, I'll be a good player," Mangino said. "We've been able to explain to Joe, and he's really grabbed onto it, that there's a mental aspect to this game. The game is not only for rough, tough, hard-nosed guys — it's still a thinking man's game." There was never any question whether Mortensen was rough, tough or hard-nosed. Now that he's hitting the film room as hard as the practice field, there isn't much of a doubt that he will make a fine middle linebacker.

After the first day Woods remains in prime position for a potential seventh title of the year. Tiger stays on course in opening day ATLANTA—Given his choice, Tiger Woods likes to see a golf course as difficult as possible. It didn't take long to figure out that wouldn't be the case Thursday at the Tour Championship, the final playoff event for the FedEx Cup that felt more like preseason considering the marshmallow conditions at East Lake Golf Club. Clark was among only 10 players who finished the first round because of a three-hour storm delay that made the slow greens even softer, closing with three straight pars. His wedge to the first green left more of a crater than a pitch mark.

PETERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND, Ore. — Greg Oden, the top pick in this year's NBA draft, likely will miss his first season with the Portland Trail Blazers after surgery on his right knee Thursday. Doctors found cartilage damage during an exploratory procedure. Team physician Dr. Don Roberts performed microfracture surgery to repair the damage. "There are things about this that are positive for Greg. First of all, he is young. The area where the damage was is small and the rest of his knee looked normal." Roberts said in a statement. "All those are good signs for a complete recovery from microfracture surgery" The 7-foot center is expected to be on crutches for up to eight months. Full recovery likely will take six to 12 months, the team said. Oden was the No.1 pick in the June draft out of Ohio State, where he averaged 15.7 points and 9.6 rebounds. "Certainly this is a setback, but our future is still incredibly bright." Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard said. Oden had a tonsillectomy in July after struggling in two Las Vegas summer league games. working out in the Portland area. The MRI was taken Thursday and Oden refrained from working out "Certainly this is a setback, but our future is still incredibly bright". month ago when he was on vacation.

Southern California, the nation's top-ranked team, spent its off-week preparing for arguably the most anticipated nonconference game of the year. Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb., is the hardest stadium the Trojans will play in all year. Cornhusker running back Marlon Lucky is fifth in the nation in rushing yards. The Trojans are six-deep on their depth chart at running back, with each option gaining All-American honors in high school. The good news for Nebraska is that quarterback Sank Keller, a transfer from Arizona State, faced the Trojans two years ago and threw or 347 yards. The bad news for Nebraska is that Keller threw five interceptions in the 38-28 loss to the Trojans.

Seminole junior quarterback Drew Weatherford threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns in the come-from-behind victory. 249 yards per game.

Rudi Johnson will face the opposite of the Baltimore defense that held him to 50 yards when the Bengals take on Cleveland this weekend. Johnson should put up 100 yards rushing without a problem. MATCHUP BUSTS defense is for real and the lack of another star player on offense only hurts Young more. Young will have a mediocre game at best this Sunday against the Colts. — QB Vince Young, Tennessee. Young has to face an Indianapolis defense that shut down a high-powered Saints offense. The Colts — RB Tatum Bell, Detroit. Bell had a solid game against Oakland, rushing 15 times for 87 yards and one touchdown. Minnesota had no problem shutting down Atlanta's two big rushers, though, and it could end up being a long day for Bell this Sunday. — WR Torry Holt, St. Louis. Holt had eight catches for 73 yards and one touchdown against Carolina. But he had little production in the second half of that game. San Francisco's defense shut down Arizona's top two receivers, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, and it will look to do the same to Holt. — Tennessee defense. Last week the Titans played against a team with a weak passing offense. This week they will play against the Colts and one of the league's best passing offenses. Reggie Wayne may have an even bigger day than his seven catches, 115 yards and two touchdowns on opening night against the Saints. Tennessee defense was already in trouble after star cornerback Pacman Jones was suspended, and now the Titans defense will get run over by the Colts on Sunday. Edited by Tara Smith Seventh loss continues Cardinals' skid MLB BY JOE KAY ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — The season has brought one setback after another for the St. Louis Cardinals — manager Tony La Russa's drunken-driving arrest, reliever Josh Hancock's death, a series of injuries to everyday players. The defending World Series champions may be running out of resilience. Joey Votto hit a two-run double and David Ross followed with a two-run homer Thursday, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-4 victory that completed the Cardinals' road trip to ruin. The Cardinals lost all seven games on their trip, capped by their first three-game sweep in Cincinnati since July 1998. It was their first winless trip of at least seven games since May 1972, when they went 0-7 in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. It's a bad time to be making historical references. "We're a little flat, things aren't going our way, and we're not playing good baseball," outfielder Jim Edmonds said. "All those add up to losses. It's really no different than it was at the beginning of the year. It's just a bad time for it right now." The Cardinals had surged from 10 1/2 games out at the end of June to within a game of first place in the NL Central before hitting the road and hitting the skids. The latest loss dropped them 4 1/2 games out. "It's just been — I don't even know how to word it," said Kip Wells (6-17), who lost his fourth straight start. "It's just been tough. We haven't caught any breaks." Votto doubled home a pair or runs in the fifth off Wells, and Ross followed with his first homer since July 23. The catcher had been 1-for-15 since returning from a concussion on Aug. 28. Aaron Harang (15-4) gave up three hits and three sacrifice flies — two by Albert Pujols — in seven innings. David Weatherys gave up Edmonds' RBI single in the ninth before becoming the ninth Cincinnati closer to reach the 30-save mark. The sweep was particularly pleasing for the Reds, who were swept in a three-game series in St. Louis from Aug. 31-Sept. "We went into their place and they smacked us around, so it was nice to come back and take three from them, especially with the playoffs right around the corner," Harang said. "It'll make "We went in there kind of on a roll and they stuck it to us," Ross said. "I don't know if we knocked them out of playoff hunt, but we did a good job of hurting their chances." It was the Cardinals' costliest trip of the season by far. "I don't know if we knocked them out of playoff hunt, but we did a good job of hurting their chances." them work that much harder to get back in the race." The Reds were still holding out hope of getting back into contention until they landed in St. Louis two weeks ago. Since then, they've been relegated to playing it out. DAVID ROSS Cincinnati Reds In addition to losing precious games in the standings, they lost third baseman Scott Rolen, who had shoulder surgery on Tuesday, and outfielder Chris Duncan, who aggravated a hernia and is likely out for the Now, they're running out of time. They play four games against the Cubs this weekend in St. Louis, and have three left in Milwaukee — the two teams they're chasing. season. top two starters during the series, and didn't do much against either. They lost to Bronson Arroyo 7-2 on Wednesday night. David Eckstein led off Thursday's game with a double and scored on a sacrifice and a Pujols' sacrifice fly. Eckstein was the only Cardinal to manage a hit off Harang in the first five innings. The Reds wasted several chances against the enigmatic Wells, who lost seven straight games earlier this season and now has lost his last four starts. The Reds left the bases loaded in the third, when Edwin Encarnacion popped out. They loaded the bases again in the fourth, but managed only Jeff Keppinger's sacrifice fly that tied it at 1. Votto's RBI double — his third hit of the game — broke the tie in the fifth, and Ross followed with his first homer in 53 at-bats. Another sign of how things are going for St. Louis: It was only the third home off Wells in the right-hander's last 71 innings. The Cardinals faced the Reds' Football notebook NATIONAL ATTENTION Everything is going well for the Kansas defense this season. On Saturday, the defense shut out Southeast-eastern Louisiana. On Wednesday, Junior linebacker Mike Rivera earned inclusion on the Butkus Award watch list. The Butkus Award is given to the top linebacker in the nation at the end of the season. The watch list consists of 66 candidates. Rivera has played well in his first two games as an outside linebacker, making nine tackles and one sack. FAST DEFENSE WATCHING TAPE Sophomore free safety Darrell Stuckey said Kansas' defense was notably faster than last year's version. He compared the 2007 defense to the 2005 squad that allowed only 2.4 yards per carry. Stuckey said the players had worked on reading blocks more quickly and using better body control to reach the opposing ballcarrier earlier. The 2007 Kansas defense is ranked ninth in the nation in yards per game allowed. Kansas hasn't been focusing too much on the schemes Toledo used in last year's matchup. Instead, the Jayhawks have turned their attention to the tapes of Toledo's first two games of this season, against Purdue and Central Michigan. Stuckey said Toledo had altered its game plan significantly since last September. Asher Fusco MLB Phillies move into the thick of the wild card race PHILADELPHIA — Chase Utley hit a two-run homer and Philadelphia's maligned bullpen was superb in the Phillies' 12-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night. The Phillies moved within two games of San Diego in the NL wild-card standings, pending the result of the Padres' game at Los Angeles. Associated Press BIG 12 FOOTBALL Mizzou wants offense to improve in home opener COLUMBIA, Mo. — Even though Missouri is averaging 39 points and 488.5 yards per game, coach Gary Pinkel thinks the offense can do better. The Tigers (2-0) play their first home game of the season Saturday, hosting Western Michigan (0-2). The Broncos have given up 99 points already this season. "I think we've seen a lot of good production at times," Pinkel said. "There have been some good things but certainly we have a long, long way to go to get where we need to." In a 40-34 season-opening win over Illinois, quarterback Chase Daniel helped Missouri gain a 37-13 advantage midway through the third quarter. But Illinois rallied and had a chance to win before Corneillus "Pig" Brown intercepted a pass at the goal line with 51 seconds to play. Last week at Mississippi, Daniel threw four second-quarter scoring passes. Missouri led 35-7 in the third quarter before allowing the Rebels to rally. Missouri held on to win 38-25. Daniel said the occasional lulls are of little concern. "It'll all work out when it needs to," Daniel said. "We've had pretty good leads going into halftime, we just need to step on people's throats and keep pushing the throttle." Daniel, a junior in his second season as a starter, has put himself in position to set an NCAA record. —Associated Press THE BIGGEST SPORTS APPAREL STORE IN LAWRENCE MLB NCAA 1000 Massachusetts St. Enter on East 10th 785 832.0806 www.spdome.com • Hats • T-shirts • Shorts • Home Decor STUDENT DELIVERY SPECIAL Pick any 2 all day combinations (comes with egg fried rice and crab raagon) AND 1 lo mein of your choice for only 9.99 20 WingStreet WINGS Three Ways to Wing It!

No one, however, expected West Virginia's running game to be so Devine. Slaton ran for 137 yards and three touchdowns, Noel Devine amassed 125 yards on his first three carries, and No.4 West Virginia cruised past Maryland 31-14 Thursday night. Slaton scored on runs of 22,1 and 1 yards. He has 41 touchdowns at West Virginia, one short of the school record shared by Ira Errett Rodgers and Avon Cobourne. The 5-foot-8 Devine served as a Slaton's setup man. Early in the third quarter, Devine ran 31 yards to the Maryland 1, putting Slaton in position for his second TD run. Late in the period, Devine rambled 76 yards to the Maryland 1. Slaton scored on the next play to put the Mountaineers up 28-7. Keen Lattimore ran for 80 yards and a touchdown for Maryland (2-1). The Terrapins yielded a total of 350 yards in their first two games; West Virginia finished with 448. Devine, a freshman, finished with 136 yards rushing on five attempts. West Virginia took the secondhalf kickoff and moved 63 yards in nine plays to go up 21-7. Three punts later, Devine's 76-yard run — tied for the longest non-scoring It was 31-7 before Maryland's Jordan Steffy threw his first career touchdown pass, a 22-yarder to Danny Oquendo with 5:50 left. carry in WVU history — helppee put the Mountainers up by 21. for 18 yards to place West Virginia (3-0) in position for a field goal. A year ago, Maryland fell behind West Virginia 28-0 in the first quarter en route to a 45-27 loss. The Terrapins were determined to get off to a better start this time, but instead were thrust into an immediate flashback of last season's disaster. On the first play from scrimmage, Steffy mishandled the snap and the Mountaineers' Johnny Dingle recovered. Two plays later, West Virginia quarterback Pat White ran 20 yards for a touchdown with 45 seconds elapsed. This time, however, the Terrapins bounced back. Five plays after Stefy completed a 33-yard pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey on third-and-10 from the West Virginia 49, Lattimore ran in from the 4. It was his sixth touchdown of the season, matching the total of his previous three years.

He is accused of stealing signals from coaches on the sideline during the Patriots' season-opening victory. ASSOCIATED PRES Patriots coach punished for spying BY DAVE GOLDBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Bill Belichick should be able to read this signal clearly: Spy on your opponents, and it will cost you. Commissioner Roger Goodell ordered the team to give up next year's first-round draft choice if it reaches the playoffs and second- and third-round picks if it doesn't. The videotaping came to light after a camera was confiscated from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella while he was on the New York Jets' sideline during New England's 38-14 win last Sunday at Giants Stadium. The NFL said the camera was seized before the end of the first quarter and had no impact on the game. "This episode represents a calculated and deliberate attempt to avoid longstanding rules designed to encourage fair play and promote honest competition on the playing field." Goodell said in a letter to the Patriots. He said he considered suspending Belichick but didn't "largely because I believe that the discipline I am imposing of a maximum fine and forfeiture of a first-round draft choice, or multiple draft choices, is in fact more significant and longlasting, and therefore more effective than a suspension." Instead, Goodell imposed the biggest fine ever on a coach and took away a first-round draft pick as a penalty for the first time in NFL history. Reached at his home, Patriots owner Robert Kraft declined to comment. Belichick, however, accepted full responsibility "for the actions that led to tonight's ruling. Once again, I apologize to the Kraft family and every person directly or indirectly associated with the New England Patriots for the embarrassment, distraction and penalty my mistake caused." "I also apologize to Patriots fans and would like to thank them for their support during the past few days and throughout my career," Belichick said in a statement issued by the team. "As the Commissioner acknowledged, our use of sideline video had no impact on the outcome of last week's game. We have never used sideline video to obtain a competitive advantage while the game was in progress." WNBA Mercury win, force game five in finals Phoenix pulls out 77-76 victory BY ANDREW BAGNATO ASSOCIATED PRESS Pondexter scored a game-high 26 points, including a driving bank shot with 21 seconds to play, and the Phoenix Mercury defeated the Detroit Shock 77-76 on Thursday night to force a deciding fifth game in the WNBA finals. PHOENIX—Cappie Pondexter picked a big moment to hit a big shot. The finale is Sunday afternoon in Detroit. Plenette Pierson scored 23 points in a role reserve for Detroit. Diana Taurasi added 20 points for the Mercury, who have not lost consecutive games since the two games before the All-Star break in July. Detroit led 74-73 when Pierson turned the ball over with 51 seconds to go. On the next possession, Pondexter hit a 5-footer from the left baseline to put the Mercury up 75-74. After Detroit's Deanna Nolan answered with a 16-footer, Pondexter barreled into the lane and scored to give Phoenix a 77-76 lead. Detroit's Shannon Johnson missed a 12-footer at the buzzer to spark a wild celebration by the Mercury. The Mercury finished fast, but they didn't start that way. Phoenix shot 34.7 percent from the floor in an 88-83 loss in Game 3 — matching the worst shooting percentage in Paul Westhead's two seasons as head coach. The Mercury came out just as cold this time, hitting 2 of their first 11 shots and finishing the first period 5-for-18 (27.8 percent). But Detroit was even more out of sync, and the Mercury went on a 14-4 run late in the first quarter and early in the second to take a 22-14 lead. The Shock found their rhythm in the second quarter, hitting 9-of-19 shots to take a 35-33 halftime lead. NFL NFL Broncos' Bailey adds kickoff coverage ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Champ Bailey has a message for all the Denver Broncos fans and fantasy football geeks who cringed at the sight of him playing special teams. Relax. The seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback, who led the league in takeaways last season, wonders why anybody would fret over his new, expanded role. He, for one, isn't going to worry about getting hurt covering kickoffs. "Football is football. I'm out there 60 plays on defense; I can't worry about it on two or three on special teams,"Bailey said Thursday. The Broncos found themselves a couple of players short Sunday at Buffalo with Karl Paymah recovering from a concussion and Domonique Foxworth going down with a high ankle sprain. So, Bailey played safety on kickoff coverage, serving as the last line of defense, and one of his two tackles saved a touchdown in Denver's 15-14 win over the Bills. "I'll do whatever it takes," Bailey said. "I'll even kick if they want me to." Associated Press S.

The Jayhawks' biggest challenge might not come from the Rockets but from the weight of the expectation that they will breeze through their final two nonconference matchups. BY THE NUMBERS COUNTDOWN TO KICK-OFF (National Ranking: 2007 stats) 3:57 ppg: scoring offense 20:225.5 ypg: rushing offense 19:294ypg: passing offense 3:3.5ppg: scoring defense 12:41.5ypg: rushing defense 23:143ypg: passing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Junior defensive end John Larson: If Larson succeeds on Saturday, the Kansas defense will have solved its biggest problem: Toledo left tackle John Greco. Greco, a 325-pound NFL prospect and two-time All-MAC first team selection, is the Rockets' best player and the only thing standing between Lar. YORK Larson son and Toledo quarterback Aaron Opelt. Larson has played extremely well this season, and a third consecutive effort would certainly give the Jayhawks a boost. QUESTION MARKS Will Kansas repeat last year's Toledo disaster? Kansas entered the Toledo game last season 2-0 with victories against cupcake opponents. Those circumstances are eerily similar to this weekend's scenario. Last year the young Kansas squad shot itself in the foot repeatedly. Could it happen again? How many Jayhawks will finish with 100-plus rushing yards? Toledo's rushing defense is not impressive in the least. The Rockets have yielded more than 200 rushing yards in each of their first two games, a statistic that bodes well for the Jayhawks' dual-threat runners, senior Brandon McAnderson and sophomore Jake Sharp.

TOLEDO 6 p.m. Saturday, Memorial Stadium Kansas 2-0 OFFENSE The Kansas offense followed its stunning 52-point performance against Central Michigan with an equally impressive 62-point showing against Southeastern Louisiana. The offensive line has been dominant, the receivers have made plays, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing has exceeded expectations and the backfield combo of senior Brandon McAnderson and sophomore Jake Sharp has proved effective. This week the Jayhawks will have the pleasure of facing the Rockets' sieve of a defense, which enters Saturday ranked No.102 in the nation in yards allowed per game. ★★★★★ DEFENSE The Kansas defensive backfield did not receive much of a test from Southeastern Louisiana last week because the defensive front applied consistent pressure to the opposing quarterback. Senior defensive tackle is the most important cog in the efficient machine that is the Kansas defense. McClinton has seven tackles and one sack in two games, but those statistics do not do his performance justice. Against Southeastern Louisiana, McClinton disrupted the Lions' offense on almost every snap. Throw in a solid group of linebackers and junior cornerback Agib Talib and the Kansas defense is downright scary. ★★★★★ SPECIALTEAMS In reality, Kansas's special teams units probably deserve six stars for their performances in the first two games. Sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton could become more famous for his punt returns than his ill-fated touchdown celebration if he keeps picking up 19 yards per return. Junior wide receiver Marcus Herford earned co-Big 12 Special Teams player of the week honors for his efforts returning kicks last week. Senior kicker Scott Webb hasn't missed a field goal or extra point attempt this season. ★★★★ ★ MOMENTUM Kansas has outscored its opponents 114-7 so far this season and gained 1039 yards to the opposition's 339. In the process, the Jayhawks have set multiple school records on both sides of the ball. The team definitely has its fair share of momentum. But how much will any of this mean when the Rockets, who defeated the Jayhawks last season, visit Lawrence on Saturday night? The Jayhawks will have to be careful not to let the memories of 2006 undo what they have already accomplished in 2007 ★★★☆ COACHING Mark Mangino didn't make any game-altering fourth-down play calls on Saturday - he didn't have to. With offensive coordinator Ed Warinner's new scheme, the Jayhawks accounted for more than 500 yards for the second consecutive week. Defensive coordinator Bill Young once again stymied the opposing running game, this time holding Southeastern Louisiana to -31 yards on the ground. The entire Kansas coaching staff has succeeded on all levels this season. 0-2 Toledo ★★★ ★★ OFFENSE Asher Fusco ★★★☆☆ 40 Mike Rivera After struggling in week one, sophomore quarterback Aaron Opelt settled down against Central Michigan last week. Opelt threw for two touchdowns and 334 yards while completing 61 percent of his passes. He is surrounded by enough potential threats to be dangerous himself. Senior tight end Chris Hopkins is a huge target but capable of running every route in the playbook. Senior running back Jalen Parmele averages 4.9 yards per carry during his career but has endured a slow start to 2007. That could change against Kansas because Parmele is running behind All-American candidate left tackle John Greco. DEFENSE The Rockets biggest concern is the way their defense has performed thus far. Returning eight starters from a unit that got progressively better last year, Toledo thought it had a good defense this year. But through two games, the Rockets defense has looked anything but experienced. They are one of only two teams in the nation that is yet to record a sack. Toledo is also 117th in the nation with only one and a half tackles for loss. Injuries to key players partially have caused the brutal beginning. Three preseason all Mid-American Conference selections missed Toledo's last game. It has not been announced whether they will play against Kansas. Without them, the Toledo defense relies too much on senior linebacker Greg Hay. ★ ★ ★ ★ SPECIAL TEAMS If the Rockets have one outstanding player, it's Brett Kern. The senior punter is second in the nation with 50.1 yards per punt. Kern also serves as the holder for sophomore kicker Alex Steigerwald. Steigerwald looks to be solid as he has made all of his field goals and PATs this season. Kickoff returners Greg Harris and Stephen Williams possess the skills necessary for the position but have yet to make a big impact. Their combined season-long return is only 31 yards. ★★★☆☆ MOMENTUM Although starting out 0-2 doesn't yield much momentum, the Rockets will have confidence heading into a game against the Jayhawks. Toledo has no reason to believe it can't play with Kansas after a 37-31 victory last year. The Rockets are eager to fix their defense and running game before entering the heart of their conference schedule. If quarterback Aaron Opelt continues to find his open receivers well, the Rockets could get a boost early. But if he doesn't, the whole team could get frustrated at the prospects of losing its third-straight game. ★★★★ COACHING Coach Tom Amstutz is the face of Toledo football. Amstutz has stuck with the football program for the past 30 years. He grew up a fan before playing at Toledo in his college years. Then, he accepted a position as a graduate assistant and worked his way up the ranks until 2001 when he accepted the head coaching job. During his first six seasons, Amstutz has had unparalleled success at Toledo. He's won two MAC championships, appeared in four bowl games and produced six current NFL players. If anyone can reverse the Rockets' fortunes this year, it's Amstutz. ★★★★ Mike Rivera Case Keefer TOLEDO KICKOFF AT A GLANCE (National Ranking: 2007 stats) Toledo hasn't stopped either of its first two opponents. Central Michigan and Purdue each scored 52 points on the Rockets. Its defense is giving up 475 yards per game and may have its hands full with a seemingly perfect Kansas offense. Toledo's trip to Lawrence begins a two-game stretch against Big 12 opponents. BY THE NUMBERS 117:52 ppg: scoring defense 73:136.5 ypg: rushing offense 30:267.5 ypg: passing offense 107:231 ypg: rushing defense 83:244 ypg: passing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Senior left tackle John Greco: It's hard to force your eyes to not follow the football every play when watching a THUAR Greco game, but Greco should make it easier. He is one of the nation's best offensive linemen and will be playing in the NFL at this time next year. Greco will battle with a Kansas defensive line that was impressive last weekend. QUESTION MARKS Defensive end Sean Williamson, free safety Tyrell Herbert and cornerback Nigel Morris are three team leaders who missed last week's game. Will they play, and how productive will they be coming off injuries? It's one thing if a defensive line has deficiencies either against the run or providing a pass rush, but the Rockets were dreadful at both in the first two weeks. What did Toledo work on in practice this week to ensure the front four play better? BIG 12 SCHEDULE Friday Game Time T.V. Oklahoma State at Troy 7 p.m. ESPN2 Saturday Game Time T.V.

The cafe, where volunteers cook and serve breakfast to the homeless two mornings a week, is in jeopardy of closing because it's low on funds. "A friend of mine is trying to do a benefit concert because we're doing well on volunteers, but the money" Ryan said. Insufficient funds force Lawrence food pantries to limit production and possibly close down BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com A lack of funds is putting some Lawrence soup kitchens and food pantries in danger of closing. Kelli Stout, co-director of the Center for Community Outreach, told Student Senate last Wednesday that Jubilee Cafe had enough money to stay open for another two and a half weeks. Without more funding, Jubilee Cafe may be forced to temporarily close, or at least limit the amount of food it gives out each week. Jubilee Café provides food to people in need on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Although it is located off-campus in United Methodist Church on Vermont Street, it is a registered student group at the University and runs on student help. Dan Pierron, Olathe senior and co-director of the Center for Community Outreach, said Jubilee Café was a special social service. "Jubilee Café is something that's really unique to KU and Lawrence," Pierron said. "To shut it down would be a tragedy." Trinity Interfaith Food Pantry, a local food pantry run by five Lawrence churches, recently decreased the amount of food it serves because of low funds. The organization, which has been open for several years, previously offered food to those in need on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week and on one Saturday a month. Now the organization offers food only one day a week and one Saturday a month. Barry Molineux, a volunteer at the food pantry, said the decision was made after about two months of a tight budget that resulted from an increasing number of people requesting food. "The need for food is great in the city of Lawrence," Molineux said. "Certainly all of us can help supplying that help for people who need it." Molineux said that it cost about $175 to $200 each day the pantry handed out food. He said the pantry served 596 people last month and had been asking churches to donate food and money. He said the food pantry receives funding from the local and federal government, and receives donations from local and national food drives. Michael Gillasbie, Ashland junior and director of Jubilee Café, said he did not foresee Jubilee Café closing. "We hope to open it up again," Molineux said in response to the pantry's cutback. "I anticipate this to be a temporary closing." "If some week we don't get donations, we could have a problem," Gillasbie said. "If it came push to shove, I don't think we'd close." Gillasbie said that Jubilee Café was currently about even in funds. Pierron said he thought the cafe currently had about $300 of usable funds. Jubilee Café receives funding from various donors, including the United Methodist Church. Because it is a registered student group, it could also receive funding from Student Senate, if a senator wrote legislation requesting the funding, and it was approved. Darlene Mortell, Lawrence resident and Jubilee Café volunteer, said that she had been volunteering with Jubilee Café for 12 years, and that the organization had never stopped serving food, although it had sometimes limited what it served. Molineux said he hoped the local community would help Jubilee Cafe, the Food Pantry and other similar organizations such as Just Food. "There is plenty of food in the community," Molineux said. "There is plenty of food to solve this problem."

ODD NEWS Notorious bathroom stall becomes tourist attraction I am so grateful for the love and support of everyone who came to see me perform at Temple EmanuEL. I am truly honored to be part of a community that values art, music, and community engagement. I will always remember seeing my students perform at Temple EmanuEL and being inspired by their energy and passion. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — When tourists ask for the bathroom in the Minneapolis airport lately, it's usually not because they have to go. It's because they want to see the stall made famous by U.S. Sen. Larry Craig's arrest in a sex sting. "it's become a tourist attraction," said Karen Evans, information specialist at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. "People are taking pictures." Craig was arrested June 11 by a Minneapolis airport police officer. The Idaho Republican pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Craig has since said his guilty plea was a mistake. His request to withdraw the guilty plea will be heard Sept. 26, just four days before he has said he will step down from his Senate seat. "It's by the Lottery shop, right next to the shoeshine shop," said newsstand worker Abdalla Said, adding he gets the question daily. Just 15 minutes into her shift on Friday, Evans said she had been asked directions to the new tourist attraction four times. Other airport workers field the same question The Royal Zino Shoeshine shop owner's grandson, Royal Zino, said it has been hectic. "People have been going inside, taking pictures of the stall, taking pictures outside the bathroom door — man, it's been crazy," he said. "We had to just stop and check out the bathroom," Sally said. "In fact, it's Jon's second time — he was here last week already." On their way to Guatemala, Jon and Sally Westby of Minneapolis made a visit. Woman takes motorcycle to 100th birthday party BERWICK, Pa. — You might say she was born to be wild — a century ago. Evelyn Warburton rode to her 100th birthday party Saturday in a motorcycle sidecar. She sported a black leather jacket, a helmet and a pair of sunglasses for the 10-minute ride from her home in Lightstreet to her granddaughter's house in Berwick. "It was fun today" said Warburton. Her chauffeur on the green 2000 Harley-Davidson Ultra was George Crawford, a friend who had been offering to take her to church on his motorcycle for several years. Crawford said Warburton was nervous at first, but relaxed after he assured her she wouldn't fly out of the sidecar. The duo hit a top speed of 40 mph. Warburton finally accepted Crawford's offer of a ride to her party. She had actually turned 100 on Thursday. "She's always willing to try new things;" said Warburton's daughter, Nancy Hartzel. Student advocate charged with drunken driving BLOOMSBURG, Pa. — Bloomsburg University's student government president was charged with drunken driving just weeks after saying the media has unfairly portrayed students as irresponsible. Christopher Bevan, 21, was pulled over last weekend after a campus police officer said he saw the student driving more than 50 mph in a 15-mph zone. A breath test showed Bevan's blood-alcohol level was.147 percent, authorities said.The legal limit for drivers in Pennsylvania is .08 percent. Bevan recently wrote a letter to the Press Enterprise of Bloomsburg about media coverage of the central Pennsylvania college's annual Block Party, an event critics have described as rowdy and alcohol fueled. The stories have "painted BU students with a broad and negative brush and are both inaccurate and extremely unfair to the thousands of responsible, mature Bloomsburg students who are an asset to the school and this community." Bevan wrote. Reached Friday, Bevan declined to say if he would step down from his position. He also would not comment on the arrest. College spokeswoman Liza Benedict called the arrest out of character for Bevan. "Up to this point, Chris has set a great example for the students and worked well with the university." Bevan was charged with driving under the influence, driving at an unsafe speed and careless driving. Their learns techniques from Discovery Channel RICHMOND, Ky. — A man who says he learned how to rob homes by watching a TV show was sentenced to 12 years in prison for a string of burglaries in central Kentucky. Michael W. Hobbs, 36, of Waco, Ky., pleaded guilty to five counts of burglary. He was sentenced Thursday. Police said Hobbs learned how to break into homes by watching the Discovery Channel TV show "It Takes a Thief" The show features two ex-convicts who show property owners how vulnerable they are to theft. Police Maj. Steve Gregg said the show's ex-confs said skill burglaries typically don't keep stolen items. "He didn't hold onto any of the property," Gregg said of Hobbs. "He had no physical evidence at his residence whatsoever. When we entered a couple times, he said, 'Come on in, look around. I've done nothing.'" But Gregg said Hobbs always showed up at the burglary sites. "He was one of the type of people who would come to the door and ask if (the homeowner) needed any gutter help," Gregg said. "Then the houses around there would get burglarized. That's just not coincidental." Associated Press on campus Resume Review Day will start at 10 a.m. in 110 Burge Union.

A video of the encounter has been circulation on YouTube. KU 9 The Kansas Athletics Department decided Saturday not to punish camera operator and television stations for the disagreement about the disclosure of unedited footage in Kansas coach Mark Mangino's now-famous YouTube clip. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the KU Athletics Department had discussed several options, including pushing camera crews farther down the sideline or forcing them to tape from the roof of the press box. Topeka's WIBW-TV website first published the unedited video, Marchiony said. He said that WIBW pulled the footage from its site at KU's request but had not contacted YouTube to request the clip be considered copyrighted material and be taken off. WIBW-TV sports anchor Mark Ewing, who Marchiony said made afternoon. the decision to post the clip on the Web site, did not return phone calls. interior. Television cameras will continue The 42- second clip was posted on YouTube.com the day after Kansas' September 1 season-opening victory against Central "WIBW used terrible judgment and broke the trust that teams have with television stations that are covering games." JIM MARCHIONY Associate Athletics Director Michigan, Raimond Pendleton is shown scoring a touchdown on a 77-yard punt return. As he approached the end zone, Pendleton leaped in for the score. The showboating drew a 15-year unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. When Pendleton returned to the sideline, Mangino unleashed a 20-second, obscenity-laced scolding on the sophomore. The clip had been viewed more than 210,000 times as of Sunday to be allowed anywhere outside the players' box, which ends at the 25 yard lines. Marchiony said he and his staff monitored where camera people went on Saturday. He also said another incident of poor judgment by a TV station could cause a change in the Athletics Department's policy. "WIBW used terrible judgment and broke the trust that teams have with television stations that are covering games," Marchiony said. Marchiony said that the Department had no issue with the video, but that it had never heard of a TV station airing unauthorized in-game audio of a college game. He said there was an understanding between the University and television stations that audio from the team area of the sidelines was not to be used. "Our stance is that whatever is said in the team area is not for public consumption; it is for the consumption of the team and the coaching staff," Marchiony said. "I want to make it clear that we are not condoning the language that was heard on the video. But I think some people saw how Mark handled the Pendleton situation, and applauded it." After Aqib Talib's touchdown catch late in the second quarter, he appeared to jump at the goalpost as if to dunk the ball, which surely would have brought another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. He stopped mid-flight. Marchiony said Mangino and Pendleton embraced after the player's next kickoff return. Edited by Chris Beattie Graduates go back to school Teach for America provides opportunity to help children EDUCATION BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com Jason Boots thought 60- to 80 hour work weeks would be over after he graduated from college. But since he left the University of Kansas in May, he's been working at least 60 hours a week at a new school. Boots, former student body president at the University, decided to work with Teach For America for the next two years. Teach For America sends recent college graduates to low-income school districts to help those students catch up to the national academic level. Boots teaches the fifth grade at a Baltimore elementary and middle school. "Part of me said it was a really great opportunity to be part of something bigger than myself, bigger than a group of people, bigger than a company." Boots said. "I knew it was going to be a challenge. I was never really interested in doing something easy, but I have always been interested in a challenge." Boots said both of his parents and his brother were teachers. He said he didn't realize how much work it was until he started doing it, but that the rewards were well worth it. Boots said he taught summer school in get involved Requirements: for the University. She said she served in Houston at a school that was three blocks from the Houston Astros baseball stadium and one block away from a homeless shelter, which was where most of her students lived. Forman requirements: Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university 2.5 GPA U.S. citizen or legal perma nent resident "Part of me said it was a really great opportunity to be part of something bigger than myself, bigger than a group of people bigger than a company." Application Deadlines: JASON BOOTS Teach for America member Philadelphia, where he had 12 students. He said the students were rowdy and couldn't wait to get out of the door until the last bell rang. Then he said they told him they didn't want to leave him. For more information email Jessica Forman at jessica.forman@teachforamerica.org or visit teachforamerica.org. Teach For America also offers internships and part-time and summer jobs for undergraduates. September 21, 2007 November 2, 2007 January 4, 2008 February 15, 2008 "They told me I was the best math teacher they ever had," Boots said. Next year, students wanting to join Teach for America might not have to travel as far as Boots. The program will have a new region in the Kansas City, Mo. school district starting in the fall of 2008. Teach For America will place 50 corps members in the district. The popularity of Teach For America at the University has grown over the last three years. In 2003-2004, seven students joined the program, and last year, the year that Boots applied, 20 students joined. Jessica Forman joined Teach for America after she graduated from the University in 2005. Now she is the Recruitment Director taught pre kindergarten her first year, then continued to teach those students the next year in kindergarten. "The dif- ference in income was right in front of me," Forman said. "That transcended into my classroom coming in as 4-year-olds not being able to recognize their own name and not being able to distinguish between letters and numbers." Forman said she really had to push to get the kids to a place where they could read. By the time they graduated kindergarten, 14 out of 15 students could read on a first grade level. "Teach for America is a chance to create change in our country at the fundamental level." Forman said. "Not only do corps members affect the lives of students daily, but they go on to be part of a civic minded group of leaders who are at the forefront of shaping our nation." Teach For America has 5,000 corps members teaching this year. Applications to teach for next year are due Sept. 21, Nov. 2, Jan. 4, and Feb. 15.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2007 INTERNET Web site caters to college students College.com to provide social networking opportunities for classroom communication BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com The old Facebook is back. Sort of. College.com, a social networking site that started earlier this month, is trying to gain popularity by focusing on only college students. The network combines social life with academics. As of Friday, 16 KU students were on the network. College, com representatives declined to say how many total students belonged but said the site got 40,000 hits every day. Facebook, another social networking site, originally let only college students create accounts. In the fall of 2005, it started to let high school students join. Now, anyone can join. Sam Marks, a College.com representative, said creators and recent Florida State graduates Jason Levine and John Davidman saw Facebook's decision to allow everyone access as an opportunity to gain success by focusing on only college students. Davidman and Levine already had the domain name and began working to create College.com in October 2006. "They've lost their core market by adding all ages," said Marks, who graduated from Florida State last semester. "They can have 80-year-olds talking to 14-year-olds. You don't want people like that checking out your events and stuff." Instead of making College.com like other social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace, Marks said the Web site would be a "one-stop shop for socializing and the classroom." He said College.com could be a classroom portal similar to Blackboard. The site's creators wants professors to join so they can upload syllabuses, assign homework and communicate information to students. Marks said that, ideally, College, com would like to make deals with colleges in the future so it could replace sites such as Blackboard as a classroom portal. He said they hadn't had discussions with any colleges about that yet. College.com has several other features Facebook and MySpace don't have such as the alarm clock. Students can enter their cell phone numbers and a computer will call their phones at a designated time for a wake-up call. Members also can assign grades to professors, similar to ratemyprofessor.com. The Web site also was trying to push the Greek feature, said Jeff Cambron, a marketer for College.com. Greek organizations can register their chapters. Students interested in rushing can browse through the registered fraternities and sororities to find more information about them. If a student likes a certain Greek chapter, he or she can submit a Rush form that the officers will see. Then the officers can contact the student. "We want to show people how this is something not just fun but useful." Cambron said. the extra features convince students to join? Nearly 35,000 people are registered with the KU network on Facebook compared to the 16 with College.com. Marks said College. com didn't want to compete head-to-head with Facebook. He said College.com could be an additive to Facebook because it had different features. Clinton Brumm, Shawnee freshman, and Monique Langois, Wichita freshman, joined College.com after hearing about it on Facebook. Brumm said he liked how College, com only allowed college students to join, but he still liked Facebook more. "There's more to do," Brumm said, "and more people there. But I could probably swing my vote if more people join College.com." Getting more people is College.com's goal for the next year, Marks said. He said they want to focus on freshmen to help build their numbers. When school numbers build up, Marks said, College.com would connect with school administrations to try to sell its classroom portal idea. Still, the biggest question is, will To market their product, representatives from College.com are touring campuses throughout the country. They've been to Florida State and other southern colleges so far, but Marks said they planned to visit Midwest colleges, likely including Kansas, later this month or next month.

Laranje Kyle, Shawnee senior and co-executive director of Up 'til Dawn, said the group wanted to exceed those numbers this year. Allie Wilmes became involved with the student-led group Up till Dawn last year because her sorority, Delta Delta Delta, was active in philanthropic work. Wilms, Highland junior, wrote letters to family and friends asking them for contributions to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., to help fight childhood cancer. "It's a great way to get involved," Kyle said. "It's a good cause. It takes up a little bit of time. It's hard to ask people for money, but this is the best way to raise money "I just love kids," Wilmes said.

Edited by Kaitlyn Syring IRAQ Sunni leaders face political crisis Assassination warnings cast doubt on U.S. military progress BAGHDAD — An al-Qaida front group threatened to assassinate Sunni leaders who support American troops in Iraq as a Shiite bloc loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr falted Saturday from the Iraqi government's parliament base. The two developments cast doubt over prospects for political and military progress in Iraq as the U.S. Senate gears up for a debate next week on Democratic demands for deeper and faster troop cuts than President Bush plans. BY ROBERT H. REID ASSOCIATED PRESS In a Web posting, the Islamic State said it had formed "special security committees" to track down and "assassinate the tribal figures, the traitors, who stained the reputations of the real tribes by submitting to the soldiers of the Crusade" and the Shiite-led government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "We will publish lists of names of the tribal figures to scandalize them in front of our blessed tribes," the statement added. The threat against Sunni leaders came from the Islamic State of Iraq, which claimed responsibility for the assassination Thursday of Abdul-Sattar Abu Risha, the mastermind of the Sunni Arab revolt against al-Qaida in Anbarr province. In a second statement, the purported head of the Islamic State, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, said he was "honored to announce" a new Ramadan offensive in memory of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the founder of al-Qaida in Iraq killed last year in a U.S. air strike. Hours after the announcement, a car bomb exploded late Saturday in a mostly Shiite area of Southwest Baghdad, killing at least 11 people up to buy bread at a bakery. The blast occurred at the start of Iftar, the evening meal at which Muslims break their dawn-to-dusk Ramadan fast. The blood-shed was a blow to government hopes that a peaceful Ramadan would demonstrate the success of the seven- "We as tribesmen will act against the al-Qaida, and those standing behind it who do not want us to put an end to it." month operation in the capital. ALI HATEM AL-SULEIMAN Sunni Sheik The Sunni revolt that Abu Risha spearheaded has led to a dramatic improvement in security in Anbar, although the province remains unstable. Nevertheless, the decline in violence in Ramadi and other Anbar cities has been one of the major success stories for the U.S. mission in Iraq. MCAT | DAT | OAT | PCAT Save $200!

With U.S. assassination of Abu Risha, one of the best protected tribal figures in Iraq, could cause some tribal leaders in other Sunni provinces to reconsider plans to stand up against the terror movement. and Iraqi overtures to the Sunnis under threat, the government faced a deepening political crisis with the announcement that al-Sadr's followers were withdrawing from the Shiite alliance in parliament. Al-Sadr's followers hold 30 of the 275 parliament seats. The announcement, made to reporters in Najaf, meant the Shitteled government could count on the support of only 108 parliament members — 30 short of a majority. Still, the decision by al-Sadr's followers will complicate further U.S.-backed efforts to win parliamentary approval of power-sharing legislation, including the oil bill and an easing of curbs that prevent former Saddam Hussein supporters from holding government jobs. Al-Sadr's decision will also sharpen the power struggle among armed Shiite groups in the south, which includes major Shiite religious shrines and much of the country's vast oil resources. The Sadrists threatened to bolt the Shiite alliance for several days. But tensions rose after arrest warrants were issued against Sadrist officials in the holy city of Karbala in connection with last month's Shiite factional fighting there. In the Northern city of Mosul, authorities ordered all vehicles off the streets from late Saturday until sunrise Monday to enable security forces to search for explosives. The ban was ordered after the Iraqi military announced it had found six booby-trapped cars and a would-be suicide bomber in the city Saturday.

The Warner Bros. tale of revenge transcended gender, appealing to "Revenge movies often appeal to men, but the fact that Jodie Foster was in it brought in the women," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "That combination worked." While the film's box office take was fairly modest, it is about right older women as well as men who might naturally be expected to enjoy the violent, R-rated film. for this transition time of year between the summer blockbuster season and the fall Oscar push. The Warner Bros. film displaced last week's box-office winner, "3:10 to Yuma," which placed second with $9.2 million in ticket sales.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2007 SHARING STORIES AND FORGETTING TIME Shirts and dresses shouldn't be confused When two fashion fads arise, mistakes can be embarrassing if they're combined ANNIE SIMMERMON The mini-dress swept the fashion scene this summer after several high profile stars, such as Lindsey Lohan and Sienna Miller were seen gallivanting around Los Angeles in their super chic, barely-there dresses. Fashionistas stormed the shelves buying up all the mini-dresses in the country, hoping to pair them with cute flats and fancy jewelry in order to cause a jaw-dropping reaction in their boyfriends and impress their girlfriends. The only problem with this new fashion trend was that the short dress became popular right after the long shirt, causing a chain reaction of confusion and chaos. You all remember the long shirt, a hippie-like trend in which women paired a cute pair of jeans or leggings with a long-flowing shirt. Well, when The beautiful thing about a stunning short dress is that it covers enough to be tasteful, but it's still sexy. A great pair of legs short dresses arrived on scene many people thought they could kill two birds with one stone by passing off their long shirts as short dresses. This is a grave misunderstanding which has plagued the bar scene in Lawrence, leaving fashion victims strutting their stuff thinking that they're wearing a dress, when in fact, they are wearing a shirt. can be a woman's greatest physical asset, but when your dress is showing too much skin, no one notices how great you look; they're just thinking about what a tramp you look like. It's a good thing to leave a little something to the imagination, if you know what I mean. And if you think that no one will notice that your dress is a shirt, you're wrong. Pretty much every girl in the bar is probably talking about how embarrassing it is that you thought your shirt was a dress. Even the next week when you go out and buy a really cute outfit to try and redeem your long shirt fiasco, the incident will haunt your nights out forever. I once heard a guy say, "Hey, that girl over there is pretty cute." A different girl at the bar overheard him and said, "Ew, last week that girl wore a shirt as a dress." The guy said, "Really? Gross, what a loser. Hey, wanna make out?" And then they did. It's a sad story, but the question of whether it's a dress or a shirt should never be asked. The answer is simple. If you have to ask the question, then you should already know the answer. A dress will always obviously be a dress, and anything else falls under the category of a non-dress, and therefore should never be worn as a dress. So please ladies, keep your shirts as shirts.

Shun the non-believers! University's character rooted in traditions and the student body From the Rock Chalk chant to Wescoe Beach, the KU experience unites us and makes us who we are RESTAURANTE BETSY MCLEOD There is a phenomenon in Lawrence that is only felt by those who actively participate in the academic pseudo-city known as the University of Kansas. It is first noticeable in August, inaudible and faint, like a whisper through the trees on the 950-acre campus as Mount Oread sleepily awakens from its summer hibernation. A weak pulse is detectable on the hill, a sort of buzzing anticipation for the new school year to begin. Every day it grows stronger as the bookstores repeatedly run out of textbooks and the streets become crowded with U-Hauls and stuffed sedans. The quiet anticipation boils into hectic excitement as freshmen pour into the dorms, juniors scramble to declare their majors and the parking department kicks into high gear, ticketing cars that have parking passes on the wrong side of the windshield. Classes start. Wescoe Beach becomes flooded with charity drives, KU organization promotions and Bible-waving religious fanatics. Suddenly KU has a heartbeat, rhythmic and familiar, pulsating through everything on campus. If you stand still for a moment you can feel it; the crimson and blue blood that runs through the veins of the hill, fueling the University like gasoline on a fire. This phenomenon is what has been come to be known as Jayhawk Spirit, but be cautioned not to confuse it with Homecoming Fever or March Madness. No amount of face paint or pom-poms can equal Jayhawk Spirit, and while the blood drives and t-shirts do contribute to the heartbeat of KU, they are not what keep it steadily beating. The life of the University lies in the loyalty and nostalgic affection of the students, professors and staff that call it home. Historically, the term Jayhawk signified the ruffians that fought to keep Kansas a free state during the Civil War. According to KU Traditions, the name was coined from combining two birds, "The blue jay, a noisy, quarrelsome thing known to rob other nests, and the sparrow hawk, a stealthy hunter." Anyone who has been to a game at Allen Fieldhouse or stolen a keeg off of a back porch can identify. Our mascot first appeared in 1886 in the famous Rock Chalk chant, and suddenly Jayhawk Spirit was born. What strikes a beat into the heart of KU is that feeling of fierce pride to be a Jayhawk, that feeling of protective anger when some ignorant fool insists that Aggleville trumps Massachusetts Street. True Jayhawk Spirit is the awe and respect that floods your body when you lay eyes on Watson Library for the first time, and that warm feeling of homecoming when Fraser Hall rises out of the western horizon bove K-10. Jayhawk Spirit was built on principles of determination and loyalty, and true Jayhawks fight for what they believe in with unwavering fervent allegiance. For more than 150 years, thousands of young adults have been filled with the pulse of KU. It's here that Jayhawks are born and bred, permanently marked with the brand of a mythological bird that crushes Wildcats and conquers Tigers. In our years here we meet soul mates and lovers, future ex-trophy wives and baby daddies. We make friends, break ties and set the mold of our future selves, all while building these characteristics that set us apart from other Universities. It's senior year, and as my time at KU inches towards a (relative) close, I find myself desperately clinging to this familiar heartbeat, knowing that even if I do take another two years to graduate, I will inevitably have to leave behind this institution that has become my home and venture out into the real world. Time went so fast, and although I've always considered my self a full-blooded Jayhawk, it wasn't until this year that I really understand what that meant. Think about it, and the next time you're with the rest of the crowd in Memorial Stadium, stand proud to sing our Alma Mater, because it's up to those with true Jayhawk Spirit to keep the meaning of Mount Oread alive. All together now; Far above the golden valley, Glorious to view. Stands our noble Alma Master Towering towards the blue. Lift the chorus ever onwara, Crimson and the blue Hail to three, our Alma Maer Hail to old KU. McLeod is an Overland Park senior in journalism and Middle Eastern Studies. TALK TO US Erick R.

The women's organization annually recognizes a Woman of the Year at its Salute to Leadership event. This year, Central Exchange president and CEO Ellen D'Amato said it expanded its awards to include a Corporate Champion, described as "an enterprise that recognizes and values contributions made by women, and works to advance and support them." Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the award pointed to women's opportunities on KU's campus. "Anytime you are recognized by an organization like that, it is further proof, from the outside, that our goals for women's athletics are something to be proud of," Marchiony said. "That reflects as well on athletics as it does on the University of Kansas." A spokeswoman for Central Exchange's nominating committee said in a press release that Kansas Athletics received the award for "building an environment in which young women can become successful leaders and role models in the future." Kansas Athletics will be honored alongside five Woman of the Year award winners Nov. 6 at 5:30 p.m. at the new Block Building of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Tickets cost $50. Athletics director Lew Perkins said the award was an honor for Kansas Athletics. "It recognizes our constant effort to be a leader in opportunities for women in athletics, both for staff and coaches as well as our female student-athletes," Perkins said in a press release. Perkins said the award was in line with the Athletics Department's goals for women's athletics. "In developing our department's five-year strategic plan, we have dedicated ourselves to becoming the country's best — not just among the best, but the very best — Title IX program in the country," Perkins said in the release. "We are equally dedicated to ensuring an environment in which our female staff and coaches are respected, appreciated and given opportunities to advance in their profession." Edited by Matt Erickson Out of the classroom, into the capital Students can earn credit, gain experience from political science internships 》 INTERNSHIPS BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com Loomis said the Washington internships were a bit more intensive than Topeka internships. He said the Washington internships were full-time, requiring 40 or more hours per week. Students can earn up to twelve credit hours with the Washington internships. Students tired of the same old classroom setting can experience an internship in Washington, D.C., or Topeka while continuing to earn credit. The political science department offers a variety of internships every spring semester. Loomis said it was important to remember internships were open to all majors. Past students have worked for U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), the Smithsonian Institution, the U.S. Department of State and interest groups. The department will have an informational meeting at 7 p.m. today in 114 Blake Hall. Political science professor and program director Burdett Loomis will speak about the opportunities the internships can provide. He said that, although the internships helped students make great connections, the experience wasn't all about finding a future job. Loomis said internships provided excellent experience, class credit, friendship with other interns and, sometimes, payment.

Dennis Chanay, Paola senior, interned for Edwin J. Feulner, president of the Washington think tank The Heritage Foundation, last semester. Chanay said working for Feulner gave him a hectic yet exciting schedule writing speeches and reports. Loomis said interns should also enjoy the fun, social side of the program with free activities and events in Washington. Interns have the opportunity to visit museums, receptions, lectures and historical sites like Mt. Vernon. Chanay said he enjoyed going to receptions and cocktail parties, and hanging out with interns from all over the county. "it's college without professors" Chanay said. For students who can't commit the time or money for Washington internships, the Topeka internships can be valuable as well. Loomis said. Internships can be with legislators, senators, lobbying firms, or even in the governor's office. Students are usually required to work on Tuesdays and Thursdays and can earn six credit hours. Loomis said the internship is much like a job and should be taken seriously. Kansas legislative internships pay a stipend of $600. Jade Martin, Wichita junior, interned in the Kansas Legislature last semester for Rep. Jo Ann Pottorff (R-Wichita). Martin said the whole experience was more than anything she could have learned from a textbook, and she said it increased her desire to become a politician after college. "It just made me not want to sit on the sidelines anymore," Martin said. Artur Bagyants, Overland Park senior, said he learned a tremendous amount by forming a close relationship with Rep. Tom Sloan, (R-Lawrence). He said Sloan saw the value of an intern and introduced him to the legislative process. Bagyants said Sloan took the time to explain procedures and took him to committee meetings and receptions. "I got really lucky," Bagyans said. "He included me in everything, and I learned so much. Nothing compares to being able to see it firsthand." Loomis said students in the program rarely had problems finding internships. "When an intern gets out there, they see there are way more opportunities available than people," Loomis said. Students who can't attend tonight's meeting but are interested in the internship program should contact Professor Loomis at bloomis@ku.edu. POLITICS New Democracy party wins Greek parliamentary elections by five percent — Edited by Matt Erickson BY ELENA BECATOROS ASSOCIATED PRESS ATHENS, Greece—Greece's governing conservatives were winning parliamentary elections Sunday, overcoming anger over their handling of wildfires that devastated villages and killed 65 people last month, official results showed. Prime Minister Costa Karamanlis emerged beaming onto the balcony of his party headquarters in central Athens and waved to cheering crowds of supporters below, but did not make any statements. Thousands of New Democracy supporters thronged the streets of the capital in jubilation, blaring car horns, cheering, chanting party slogans and waving the party's blue flags. With 40 percent of the vote counted, New Democracy was ahead with 43.7 percent, while the opposition socialist PASOK party had 38.5 percent. Initial figures showed turnout at 70 percent. Costas Skandalidis, a socialist leader, said his party had lost.

THE LIED CENTER OF KANSAS FREE TO THE PUBLIC Socialist opposition leader George Papandreou waves to supporters after voting outside a polling station in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki during general elections on Sunday. Greece's governing conservatives are seeking a second four-year term in Sunday's pool. But campaigning was disrupted by massive wildfires in late August that killed at least 65 people. KU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS The University of Kansas FREE TO THE PUBLIC The results indicated that New Democracy would win enough seats in the 300-member parliament to form a governing majority after the snap elections, called by Karamanis six months early. "New Democracy has won the elections and PASOK has lost," said Skandalidis, former socialist interior minister and former party secretary. "I can say 10 reasons why we lost, but I want to see the final results." Both parties, however, appeared to have lost some support following the fires and a financial scandal. meted. "We are not happy that we have lost 2.5-3 percent support, but in the next term we will govern better," said outgoing Interior Minister Prokopis Pavlopoulos. "Mr. Karamanlis is a Teflon prime minister. He has prevailed despite all the negative events: the bond scandal and the recent fires," Alexis Papachelas, editor of the conservative daily Kathimerini, said on Skai television. "The question is whether Karamanlis will show strong leadership despite his slender majority or worry about party factions." Karamanlis, 51, had sailed to victory in 2004, becoming the youngest prime minister in modern Greek history. The country's economy has done well under the conservatives, with robust consumer spending and strong property market. Growth was expected to continue at more than 4 percent this year — one of the fastest growth rates in Europe. Unemployment has also plum- Before Sunday's vote, Karamanlis had ruled out forming a coalition with any other party if he did not win enough seats to govern outright. A hung parliament could lead to new elections. The new government will be faced with implementing tough reforms, including overhauling Greece's fractured and debt-ridden pension system. Karamanlis had vowed to push through the reforms even with a weak government. New Democracy held 165 of the 300 seats in the outgoing parliament and if it comes out with fewer seats, that would make it harder for the next government to carry out contentious economic and educational reforms.

KU RECREATION SERVICES WWW.RECREATION.KUYU But massive fires that killed more than 65 people and devastated large parts of southern Greece left his government reeling from accusations of mismanagement and incompetence in its response to the disaster. The prime minister quickly ordered aid and cash payouts to be given to the fire victims, and pledged to rebuild each burned home. In the fire-raved villages of southern Greece, many of which remain without water or electricity, prefabricated containers were being used as temporary voting centers. In Makistos, nearly 200 miles southwest of Athens, residents were bitter. "We are expecting nothing from these elections. We don't even know if we are going to vote. Nobody has told us anything." Hariklia, whose home was destroyed by fire, told AP Television News. Both New Democracy and PASOK seemed to have lost voters to smaller parties, particularly the two left-wing parties that are traditionally represented in parliament. Exit polls projected that the communist KKE party would win between 6.4 percent and 9 percent, with the SYRIZA left-wing coalition at 4.5 percent to 6 percent.

At least 88 people were killed.

It was not clear how many of the 78 foreigners on board died, but they included tourists from France, Germany, Israel, Australia and Britain, said the deputy governor of Phuket province, Worapot Ratthaseema. The government issued a list of 30 foreigners who survived. Survivors described their escape amid chaos, smoke and fire. About 60 bodies were retrieved "I stepped over them on the way out of the plane. I was afraid that the airplane was going to explode, so I ran away." "As soon as we hit, everything went dark and everything fell," said Mildred Furlong, 23, a waitress from British Columbia, Canada.

Parts of the twisted plane lay smoking at the side of the runway, while officials wearing masks carried bodies wrapped in white sheets to an airport storage building. Survivors said the plane landed hard and was out of control. "Our plane was landing, you can tell it was in trouble because it kind of landed then came up again the second time," said John Gerard O'Donnell of Ireland, speaking from his hospital bed: "I came out on the wing of the plane, and the exit door was kind of crushed and I had to squeeze through. And saw my friend; he was outside. He just got out before me. And next thing, it really caught fire. Then I just got badly burned, my face, my legs, my arms." Parinwit Chusaeng, who was slightly burned, said some passengers were engulfed in flames. "I stepped over them on the way out of the plane," Parinwit told The Nation TV channel. "I was afraid that the airplane was going to explode, so I ran away." Piyanooch Ananapakdee, a coordinator at Bangkok Phuket Hospital, said some survivors told her that passengers stepped on each other as they fled the smoke-filled plane. She said there were five people had broken legs and similar injuries from jumping from the aircraft, she said. Dr. Charnsilp Wacharajira said some of the victims were killed by traumatic injuries to the head, not burns from the fire, indicating they died from the impact of the crash. Officials said it was too early to say what caused the crash, but weather was likely a factor. "The visibility was poor as the pilot attempted to land. He decided to make a go-around (make another landing attempt) but the plane lost balance and crashed," said Chaiasik Angsuwan, director general of the in critical condition at her hospital, including a British woman with burns over 60 percent of her body and another person with broken ribs.

None of Thailand's budget airlines had previously suffered a major accident, but there have been several deadly crashes in Indonesia. the sea off the Indonesian coast on New Year's Day, killing 102 people. In 2004, a MD-82 operated by Indonesian carrier carrier Lion Air skidded off the runway in heavy rain at Solo Airport in Central Java and crashed, killing 26 people. Many budget airlines use older planes that have been leased or purchased after years of use by other airlines.

Kansas finished the game with more than 550 total offensive yards, and the defense held Toledo to 77 passing yards. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com The first time a Kansas wide receiver dove into the end zone this season, sophomore Raimond Pendleton's aerial act raised the irice of Kansas coach Mark Mangino. This time Mangino didn't have much to vell about. On Saturday, junior Aqib Talib was the high flyer. After a first-down passing play from the Kansas 42-yard line fell apart, sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing rolled out to his right with a defender in hot pursuit. At the last possible moment, Reeing found Talib standing wide open at the 25-yard line. Once Talib secured the ball, he raced toward the right corner of the field and launched into the end zone from just beyond the 5-yard line. But Talib's touchdown leaped more to necessity than celebration, and he earned praise from his coach. "Aqib made a lot of plays, and when he gets the ball in his hands, he's a playmaker," Mangino said. "He's a guy that in practice makes plays and then brings it out here to the game field. He's an exciting player and a very, very talented young man." Talib's touchdown reception gave the Jayhawks a 10-0 lead at the conclusion of the first quarter and helped spark the 45-13 Kansas victory. The Toledo Rockets, who faced a 17-point deficit at halftime, failed to crawl any closer and fell to 0-3 on the season. The win kept the Jayhawks undefeated in 2007 at 3-0. Though Kansas enjoyed a healthy lead from the start of the second quarter, the Jayhawks got off to a slow start for the second consecutive game. Senior wide receiver Marcus Henry dropped a near-touchdown pass in the first quarter, forcing Kansas to settle for a field goal with 6:01 to play in the first quarter. Several more drops by Kansas wide receivers kept the offense from putting many points on the scoreboard early, despite the Jayhawks' 373 first-half yards. "It really shows a little bit about our team that we didn't start off strong and we were a little inconsistent in the beginning, but we were able to bounce back," Reesing said. "We made some big plays, guys stepped up, and I think we started the second half a little better and started clicking on offense." The Kansas offense did not need to strike quickly because of the stinginess the Jayhawk defense showed by allowing only 77 passing yards, the fewest the team has allowed in a single game since 2004. The Rockets did not score until the final two minutes of the first half, and their lone first-half touchdown was the result of a turnover deep in Kansas territory. Pendleton misplayed a punt at the 21 yard line, and Toledo linebacker Terrell Willis line. recovered. On the next play, Toledo caught Kansas off guard when wide receiver Nick Moore caught a lateral screen pass, then threw it back to quarterback Aaron Opel for a 21-yard touchdown. The role-reversal trick brought Toledo within 10 points, but the Jayhawks answered quickly with a five-play, 60-year drive that finished with a "I was pretty excited when I realized I caught the ball, and I figured I should probably go for the end zone," Larson said. "It was pretty frustrating not getting in. I kind of put a move on the guy at the end — I guess "I was pretty excited when I realized I caught the ball, and I figured I should probably go for the end zone." Reeing touchdown pass to freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe. JOHN LARSON Junior defensive end Once Kansas had a substantial lead, the Rockets never threatened. Kansas forced three turnovers on interceptions by Talib, sophomore safety Darrell Stuckey and junior defensive end John Larson. Larson returned his interception 12 yards to the one-yard I should have just powered my way in. $ ^{29} $ Fortunately for the Jayhawks, senior running back Brandon McAnderson finished what Larson started, scoring a touchdown just one minute later. After McAnderson's touchdown run near the end of the third quarter, Kansas led 38-7. Once the fourth quarter beane. the Kansas backups trickled in from the sidelines. The second-string players did not fare poorly against Toledo but did allow the Rockets a touchdown with five seconds remaining in the game. Kansas' game on Saturday was similar to its first two of 2007: SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 6B KANSAS 3 Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Aqib Talib, junior cornerback, runs down the field. Talib played on offense for much of the game and caught two passes for 62 yards, including a 58-victory reception capped by a five-vein leap into the end zone. COMMENTARY Offense sputters at times in victory Saturday's 45-13 victory against Toledo, which looks great in the box score, was awfully painful to watch at times. For some of the game, the Jayhawks' performance was comparable to the Keystone Cops. Receivers dropped balls, a punt returner fumbled a punt, the offensive line gave up sacks and sophomore Todd Reeseing had problems with his accuracy. After last year's 37-31 double-overtime loss to Toledo, it's hard to not be impressed with a 45-13 victory, but Big 12 Conference play is just two weeks away. It's time for this Kansas football team to play more consistently on offense. The game seemed a little too close for comfort in the second quarter when Toledo recovered a punt fumbled by sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton on the Kansas 21-yard line. Following the fumble, Toledo scored on a gimmick play to narrow Kansas's lead to 10 points. Before this touchdown, Kansas had failed to convert on two fourth down conversions, giving the Rockets a chance to stay in the game. Despite throwing for 313 yards and four touchdowns, Reeing completed only 16 of 35 pass attempts. At times his passes were too long, other times they were too short. Fortunately for Reeing, none of his errant throws were intercepted. Just when it looked like Kansas was going to allow a Toledo comeback, the offense took possession of the ball with 1:46 remaining in the second quarter. For close to a minute, a fan behind me acted as the town crier for the announced BY BRYAN WHEELER Sophomore Jake Sharp led the running attack, carrying the ball 13 times for an impressive 127 yards. Senior Marcus Henry, who dropped a few passes early, made up for his mistakes with seven catches for 133 yards. Junior defensive back Aqib Talib looks like the second coming of Denver Broncos standout cornerback Champ Bailey. He continues to be a threat on offense and defense. His 58-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter might have been the most exciting offensive play so far this season. crowd of 48,112, repeatedly yelling "Touchdown before halftime!" Kansas answered his demands when Reeing connected with freshman Dezmond Briscoe on a 26-yard touchdown strike, basically sealing the victory for the Jayhawks as they went ahead 24-7. Three games into the season, Kansas has the No.1 passing defense in the Big 12, allowing just 121.0 yards through the air a game, a significant improvement from last year's average of 269.1 yards allowed per game. The secondary looked ready for conference play, as Talib and sophomore safety Right now, it looks possible for a Big 12 North title for Kansas, and next week's game against Florida International should be the final tune-up for the Kansas offense before the team faces Kansas State on Oct. 6 in Mahattan, Considering Kansas' inconsistent road record in the recent past and K-State's new tradition of the "Power Towel," the first real test for this year's team is yet to come.

Both teams battled through 18 ties and 12 lead changes in a close game. But Oklahoma outside hitter Bridget Laplante notched a kill on an assist from setter Julie Chester to give Oklahoma a 22-21 lead. The Sooners went on an 8-3 run to close out the game 30-24. 17 Once again Kansas stayed close early in game two.

Mo. — The Kansas City Wizards scored two goals in stoppage time at the end of the second half and pulled out an improbable 3-2 win over the Columbus Crew on Saturday night. The Wizards improved to 10-9-6 with 36 points and, temporarily at least, drew even with the New York Red Bulls for third place in Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference. Columbus fell to 6-9-10 with 28 points and saw its chances at a playoff berth further diminish. The Wizards appeared to be in control the entire first half and took the lead on a 25-yard bending free kick by Scott Sealy that found the upper-left corner of the net in the 31st minute. But Columbus made the most of its few opportunities in the second half. In the 65th minute, Jason Garey sent a long ball into the Wizards' penalty area that found the head of Eddie Gaven. Kansas City goalkeeper Kevin Hartman got a hand on the ball for the save, but couldn't control the ball, and Moreno rushed and punched it in the open net just off the left post. Two minutes later, Gaven sent in a cross that was headed by Marcos Gonzalez to Herron just off the goal line by the right post. The Crew appeared to have the victory in hand. But Stefani Miglioranzi tripped Wizard Kerry Zavagnin in the penalty area in the 91st minute. Eddie Johnson clanged his penalty kick off the left post, but the ball rolled in. KANSAS CITY 9 Associated Press Kansas City Wizards' Jose Burciaga Jr., from left, Eloy Colombaro, Davy Armuda, and Sasha Victoria celebrate a goal by teammate Sealy in the 93rd minute against the Columbus Crew on Saturday. The Wizards won 3-2 after scoring goals in the 91st and 93rd minutes. A couple minutes later, Sealy notched his second goal of the night, and the game winner, when Eloy Colombano found Sealy's head near the right post. Kansas rebounded to salvage a victory in a close game three. For the third time in three games the score stayed tight early, but with the game tied 26-26, senior right side/sister Emily Brown put away a kill to give Kansas a 27-26 lead. Then two consecutive Oklahoma attacking errors, counted to outside hitter Sarah Weiland, gave Kansas a 29-26 lead. Oklahoma cut it to 29-27, but another Williams kill clinched a 30-27 Kansas victory. VOLLEYBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Oklahoma cruised easily through the majority of game three. With Oklahoma up 23-17, the Sooners went on a 7-0 run to finish off Kansas 30-17 and clinch the match 3-1. Kaiser and Savannah Noyes, junior middle blocker/right side, led Kansas offensively in the loss. Kaiser, who leads the team with 2.53 kills per game, tallied 16 kills, while Noyes added 15 in only 27 attempts. Kaiser said she was continually getting more comfortable at the outside hitter position. "It's definitely a lot tougher than high school," Kaiser, Wichita freshman said. "There is so much you need to learn, but you can't until you actually experience it in games. But coach keeps pushing me to get better." Senior right side/setter Emily Brown chipped in 10 kills, 34 assists and 11 digs. Laplante, outside bitter Mariana Blum and middle blocker Francie Ekwerekwu all finished with double-digit kills for Oklahoma. Laplante had 12, while Blum and Ekwerekwu had 11 and 15, respectively. Chester led the Sooners with 48 assists. "We learned that we need to finish," Kaiser said. "Sometimes we feel we quit a little early in games." Kansas will continue on the road to Missouri Wednesday in search of its first conference victory. Kaiser said the close games against Oklahoma helped the team learn a lot about what it needed to do to win close games. — Edited by Meghan Murphy OKLAHOMA STATE Senior Emily Brown attempts to make a kill against Oklahoma on Saturday in Norman, Okla.

Royals 1 ROLLI Kansas City Royals third baseman Alex Gordon tags out Cleveland Indians' pinch-runner Josh Barfield after Barfield attempted to advance on a ninth-inning infield grounder by Franklin Gutierrez, Sunday at Jacobs Field in Cleveland, Ohio. The Royals defeated the Indians 4-3 to avoid a three-name sweep. Buckner pitched the Royals to a 4-3 victory over the firstplace Cleveland Indians, who had their division lead sliced to 41/2 games when Detroit beat Minnesota. The Indians and Tigers begin a three-game series at Jacobs Field tonight. Making his third career start, Buckner took a shutout into the sixth inning before Victor Martinez hit a solo homer with two outs. The Indians scored twice in the seventh, but solid relief work by Jimmy Gobble and Joakim Soria over the final 2/2 3 innings sealed the victory. out Casey Blake to end it. Cleveland had a chance to tie it in the ninth, but pinch-runner Josh Barfield was tagged out in a rundown after trying to advance from second to third on Franklin Gutierrez's one-out grounder to shortstop. Soria then struck Since losing the second base job to Asdrubil Cabrera a month ago, Barfield has been assigned to pinch-running duties. His blunder came at an inopportune time. Emil Brown went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs for the Royals. All three of his hits came off starter Aaron Laffey (3-2). Brown is 6-for-6 against the left-hander. John Buck and Mark Teahen added RBIs for Kansas City, which had lost nine of 10. ASSOCIATED PRESS Buckner (1-1) gave up one run and five hits in six innings, striking out three and walking one. He was called up from Triple-A Omaha on Aug. 24. Buckner made four major league appearances before Sunday, allowing 10 earned runs and 18 hits in 17 innings. "It's a confidence thing," he said. "I have been working with Buck on controlling my pitches. I was getting ahead of hitters. If you get behind hitters or even 3-2, you'll give up home runs like I did today." Buckner allowed at least one baserunner in every inning except the fourth, but kept the Indians off the board until Martinez's home run. "Buckner pitched a good game against us, but I felt like we should have done a better job, and I'm sure our guys think so, too." Indians manager Eric Wedge said. "We didn't take advantage of the opportunities we had." After Buckner left, John Bale walked Jhonny Peralta in the seventh and gave up a single to pinch-hitter Jason Michaels. Facing Franklin Gutierrez, Brandon Duckworth threw a wild pitch, moving the runners to second and third. Gutierrez's single scored Peralta, and Blake's RBI groundout made it 4-3. Gobble ended the threat, retiring Grady Sizemore on a fly ball and striking out Cabrera. Laffey allowed four runs and eight hits in 61-3 innings. After striking out the side in the first — his only strikeouts of the game — he ran into trouble in the second. Billy Butler started the inning with a single and went to third when Alex Gordon doubled. Brown hit an RBI single and Buck had a sacrifice fly. Kansas City added a run in the sixth. Esteban German singled, stole second and went to third when ball four to Gordon got past Martinez for a wild pitch. When Martinez was slow in getting the ball back to Laffey, Gordon went to second. Brown followed with an RBI infield single, making it 3-0. Teahen's seventh-inning single drove in Kansas City's fourth run. MLB Former Cardinals pitcher leads Cubs to 4-2 victory ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Jason Marquis has come back to haunt his former team. Matt Murton hit a three-run homer, and Marquis allowed just one run while pitching into the seventh inning to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 4-2 win over the slumping St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Marquis says he gets no special thrill out of beating St. Louis, where he won 14 games last season. But he was happy to drop the defending World Series champion Cardinals another game off the pace in the NL Central. Geovany Soto had a career-high four hits for the Cubs, who took three of four games in the series and maintained their one-game lead over Milwaukee in the NL Central. "Obviously it's big because it slowly takes them out of the equation." Marquis said of the Cardinals, who have lost 10 of 11 and fell seven games out of first. "But a win is a win." "We're in pretty good shape," said Chicago manager Lou Piniella. "We're going home with two more wins than the team directly behind us." Things are going in the opposite direction for the Cardinals, who lost a four-game series for the first time since dropping three of four at home to Milwaukee to begin the 2004 season. But St. Louis manager Tony La Russa saw some positives in the defeat. “It’s a loss, but all you had to do was watch the way the club (battled) when we got down 4-0.” La Russa said. “It’s a group to admire.” After helping St. Louis win the division last season, Marquis (12-8) signed with the Cubs as a free agent. Marquis allowed one run and five hits, walking two and striking out four in 6 1/3 innings. "I was making pitches when I needed to," Marquis said. "I was aggressive within the strike zone, getting ahead of the hitters, which made me a lot more effective." R y a n D e m p s t e r pitched a scoreless ninth for his 28th save in 31 opportunities, and Chicago wrapped up a 7-4 road swing. "We did what we had to do on this road trip," Piniella said. "Now it's a 12-game season." "I had one bad innning." Mulder said. "My arm kind of dropped in the second innning." Skip Schumaker, who came in as a pinch hitter, drove in both St. Louis runs. Rick Ankiel had two hits and reached base three times for the Cardinals. Ankiel had been 2-for-29 with 10 strikeouts and no RBIs in 10 games following a report he received human growth hormone in 2004. Before the report, he hit .358 with nine homers and 29 RBIs in 23 games. Chicago scored all four of its runs in the third off Mulder. Alfonso I was making pitches when I needed to. I was aggressive within the strike zone, getting ahead of the hitters, which made me a lot more effective. JASON MARQUIS Chicago Cubs Pitcher Mark Mulder (0-3), making his third start after spending most of the year recovering from surgery to his pitching shoulder, lasted three innings and gave up four runs and seven hits with three walks. Mulder has allowed 17 runs and 22 hits in 11 innings — a 12.27 ERA — in his last three starts. Soriano began the inning with a double, but was still at third with two out when Mulder walked Aramis Ramirez. Murton then followed with a 366-foot homer off the left field foul pole that made it 3-0. After Craig Monroe doubled and Soto reached on an infield single, Ronny Cedeno drove in Monroe with a single to center. Schumaker cut it to 4-1 with a pinch-hit single off Chicago reliever Carlos Marmol in the seventh. He stayed in the game and made it 4-2 with a two-out, RBI single off Bob Howry an innning later.

Sharp carried 13 times for a career-high 127 yards, averaging 9.8 yards per carry. Lisa'Lipovac/KANSAN the Jayhawks dominated their opponents in almost every statistical category and left little doubt as to which team was superior. But even in such a lopsided affair, Mangino said there was room for improvement. "I thought early in the game we didn't take care of the ball well, and we had a couple of drops," Mangino said. "But I think we overcame that, and the kids persevered and kept at it." The touchdown from Reesing to Talib served as a turning point and helped the Jayhawks overcome their early follies. Before Talib's touchdown, Reesing was 4-of-9 with 58 passing yards. After the catch, Reesing picked up his level of play, throwing for 255 yards and three more touchdowns. Talib appeared several more times on offense, reeling in two receptions for 62 total yards. He also stood out at cornerback, recording six tackles in addition to his interception. "Playing offense is a lot of fun, but it just depends on how the defense is doing." Talib said. "We weren't on the field a lot tonight so I had a little bit more energy, and coach figured I could play a little more offense." In addition to Talib's well-rounded performance, Kansas received quality offensive contributions from McAnderson, sophomore running back Jake Sharp and junior wide receiver Dexton Fields. McAnderson scored two touchdowns and tallied 52 rushing yards. Sharp ran the ball only 13 times but gained 9.8 yards per carry and finished with a career-high 127 yards. Fields caught only two passes but ran one of them 26 yards for a touchdown. Kansas' convincing victory avenged a double-overtime loss at Toledo last season in which the Jayhawks collapsed repeatedly under pressure from the Rockets. The 2007 Kansas team's positive response to last year's defeat underscored what Mangino said was the Jayhawks' mental edge. That mental edge served Kansas well on Saturday evening. Aqib Talib's leaping ability didn't hurt either.

Reesing threw four touchdown passes and finished the game with more than 300 passing yards. Sarah Leonard/RANSM Sarah Leonard/KANSAN BREAKING RECORDS Todd Reesing's list of accomplishments is growing longer by the week. The quarterback set the Kansas single-game record for passing yards by a sophomore on Saturday with 313. Adam Barmann previously held the record with his 310-yard performance against Toledo in 2004. Reesing also matched another one of Barmann's records, becoming the most recent Jayhawk to throw for 200-plus yards in his first three starts since Barmann threw for 200-plus in four straight contests three seasons ago. An announced attendance of 48,112 fans braved the chilly conditions to take in the Kansas victory. Saturday night's attendance figure was larger than all but one home game last season — Nov. 18 against Kansas State — and the largest so far this season. ATTENDANCE RISING QUICK SCORING Kansas' new offense has often led to quick points this season. On Saturday, all of the Jayhawks' six scoring drives consumed less than two minutes. On the season, the Jayhawks have scored in less than two minutes 23 times. Despite the speedy nature of the Jayhawks' scoring drives, they usually chew up substantial chunks of yardage. Two of the team's drives against Toledo were more than 80 yards long. The team has recorded five drives of more than 80 yards in 2007. On a night full of negatives for Toledo, the Rockets can take at least one positive from the game. Sophomore running back Dajuane Collins rushed for 102 yards on 14 carries, making him only the second running back in the last 15 games to rush for more than 100 yards against the Jayhawk defense. Kansas State running back Leon Patton also gained 102 yards against Kansas last season. Unfortunately for Collins and Patton, they both accumulated many of their yards against the Kansas second-stringers after the game was out of reach. Marcus Henry dropped several passes but enjoyed another productive game. The senior wide receiver caught seven passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. Henry is one of four Kansas players to record more than 100 receiving yards in three consecutive games. WIDE RECEIVERS Junior cornerback Aqib Talib has become a threat to go the distance every time he touches the football. He has scored three times this season and four of his six career receptions have resulted in touchdowns. Talib has caught a touchdown pass in four consecutive games, trying a school record set by Mark Simmons in 2003. Oddly enough, Talib has yet to score from his natural position, cornerback, and he has collected four times as many receptions as interceptions this season. He did not visit the end zone after his interception on Saturday night, but he showed quite a bit of elusiveness on the 18-yard return. 32 76 Junior offensive tackle Anthony Collins sat out the first offensive possession for disciplinary reasons, coach Mark Mangino said. Senior Cesar Rodriguez temporarily slid over to left tackle to fill in freshman Ian Wolfe started at right tackle. The game marked Rodriguez's 17th consecutive start and Wolfe's first career start. OFFENSIVE LINE QUARTERBACKS Sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier lost his perfect season early in the fourth quarter Saturday. Entering the game, Meier's passing statistics were flawless: 7-of-7 for 70 yards and two touchdowns. Meier finished 2-of-4 against Toledo, throwing for 12 yards and losing a fumble late in the fourth quarter. In fairness to Meier, his season statistics still look good: 43 Marcus Henry, senior wide receiver, carries the ball down the field past Toledo defenders. Henry pulled in seven passes for more than 130 yards. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN rushing yards and an 82 percent completion percentage. View from press row It was over when... Game ball goes to... Todd Reeing almost single-handedly engineered a five-play, 60-yard drive in the final two minutes of the first half. Toledo had just carved the Kansas lead down to 10 points and had stolen much of the life from the Memorial Stadium crowd when Reeing completed four of his next five passes, including a 26-year touchdown to freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe. After the score, Kansas led 24-7 and entered halftime with plenty of momentum. John Larson. 'The junior defensive end didn't throw for 300-plus yards or rack up triple-digit rushing totals, but he fared well against Toledo's best player. Larson, a former walk-on whose work ethic was praised by coach Mark Mangino, took on 325-pound offensive tackle John Greco for much of Saturday's game. Greco, a two-time All-MAC first team selection and surefire NFL prospect, made his fair share of devastating blocks, but Larson got the last word when he made an interception deep in Toledo territory and knocked down a pass the next time he was on the field. Game to forget for... Raimond Pendleton. Not only did the sophomore wide receiver go without a reception for the second consecutive game, but he committed a turnover that led to a Toledo touchdown. He dropped a punt late in the second quarter, and no Jayhawks could fall on the ball. The Rockets found the end zone on the next play for their only points of the first half. Pendleton returned three punts for a total of three yards in the game. Stat of the game... Three: The number of first downs Toledo managed in the first half.

The sophomore quarterback, ranked tenth in the nation in passing efficiency, put on another memorable performance in a 45-13 victory against Toledo Saturday, finishing with 313 yards and four touchdowns. But achieving those numbers wasn't as easy as it was in the first two games. Reesing had to endure eight dropped balls from his receivers, pressure from Toledo's defense and additional hits taken during his career-high 11 carries. "The inconsistency we showed on offense just shows we still have work to do," Reesing said. "We need to be sharper as a whole." To le do ranked last in the nation with no sacks coming Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN It wasn't only the blitzes that beat up Reeing, though. The quarterback played a more prominent role in the Kansas rushing attack Saturday and endured more open-field tackles. Reeing decided to keep the ball himself on an option play from the 12-yard line in the first half. He raced down to the one-yard line before being smashed like sandwich meat between two Rocket defenders. It was a hit the quarterback could have avoided if he would have realized he stepped out of bounds five yards before. But not all of the hits were preventable. In the second quarter, Toledo defen- "There are no excuses for the dropped passes. We're not going to make any, and none will be accepted." On the third play from scrimmage, Toledo defensive end Bernard Faithful came off of the edge and put a punishing hit on Reesing.

It was clear from the Jayhawks' first possession, though, that the Rockets were not leaving Memorial Stadium without a sack.

"Obviously, you can prepare for a lot of different blitzes, but they're always going to try to get one in on you that you haven't seen before." sive lineman Alfred Martin took Reesing down well after he had thrown the ball.

Mangino said he was most concerned with the receivers not catching Reesing's passes. "There are no excuses for the dropped passes," Mangino said. "We're not going to make any, and none will be accepted. We can't do that if we want to be a good football team." Reesing encountered more adversity against Toledo than in the first two games. While the offense may not have been perfect, Mangino said the game was a good "We're not going to play flawless every week, but the kids have a good mental edge to them," he said.

BEST GAME OF SEASON Friday and Sunday's games yielded the same result: a shutout score. Kansas lost to the Portland Pilots, 2-0, and the Washington Huskies, 1-0. The Jayhawks stooped to a 0-5-1 record. Coach Mark Francis was optimistic before heading into Sunday's game because of how well the team played on Friday against Portland. "Portland is legit," he said. "If there is a better team in the country than those guys, I would like to see it."

Despite only traveling with one senior, the team said it wanted the The team will get the opportunity when competition begins today at the University of Denver's Ron Moore Women's Intercollegiate at Highlands Ranch Golf Club in Denver.

Senior Annie Giangrosso will be accompanied by sophomores Emily Powers and Meghan Gockel, and two freshmen Megna Bal and Grace Thiry. The team will make only one change from last weeks squad: Thiry will replace freshman Sydney Wilson in team play. The tournament begins with 36 holes today, and a final round of 18 holes tomorrow. Kansas is one of seven Big 12 universities competing in the field of 18 teams, which also features UC Davis and San Jose State. Kansas should be challenged by the tournament's host, the University of Denver, currently ranked No. 20 in the country by golfweek.com. Denver won last year's event by 18 strokes and is the favorite for a first-place finish. Last week's results: Last week's results: Giangrosso — tie for 12th Powers — tie for 10th Thiry — tie for 19th Bal — 30th Gockel — tie for 41st momentum from last week's strong performances by Giangrosso, Powers and Thiry to translate into another top-five finish. O'Neil said the team would attempt to build on last week's solid, but sometimes inconsistent, performance as the team's inexperienced players got used to collegiate competition. golfstat.com "I think our freshmen will begin to feel more comfortable the more they play," O'Neil said. "We just want to take it day by day and make sure all the girls are ready for the spring." The team will face thinner air because of the high altitude. O'Neil said the conditions would favor players who played well farther from the tee box. She said longball specialists like Giangrosso and Powers should benefit, but said she remained confident that the precision drives of Gockel, Thiry and Bal would be just as effective because of the extra yardage the altitude would provide. Some players have to make adjustments in club choice throughout the tournament because some are not used to the effect the higher altitude has on shot distance. Kansas will be challenged, but the team wants to build on the potential exhibited, in last week's finish. The combination of a strong field with the adjustments necessary to succeed at a high altitude, should serve as building blocks for future success.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS MONDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 2007 SPORTS 9B 》 PROFESSIONAL GOLF Woods, U.S. women shine during weekend Tiger takes FedEx Cup, East Lake; Americans win singles in Sweden ASSOCIATED PRESS MEN'S GOLF ATLANTA — The FedEx Cup didn't change anything but Tiger Woods' bank account. The PGA Tour's "new era in golf" came to a familiar conclusion Sunday when Woods captured the Tour Championship in record-setting fashion, closing with a 4-under 66 for an eight-shot victory at East Lake and his seventh title of the season. This was the first time Woods walked away from one tournament with two trophies. Alongwiththe TourChampionship and its $1.26 million prize, Woods was a runaway winner of the FedEx Cup and the $10 million that goes into his retirement account. Woods stretched his three-shot lead to four at the turn, and the only drama was whether he would break the 72-hole scoring record on the PGA Tour. He had to settle for a 23-under 257, his career low on tour. Masters champion Zach Johnson closed with a 68 and tied for second with Mark Calcavecchia, who shot a 71. Steve Stricker and Phil Mickelson were the only players with a realistic chance of capturing the FedEx Cup, and their hopes were gone by the weekend. Stricker closed with a 67 and wrapped up second place in the PGA Tour Playoffs, giving him a $3 million retirement boost. At East Lake, Woods was hitting on all cylinders to wrap up another phenomenal season. He won seven times in 16 starts on the PGA Tour, and was close to unbeatable the last two months of the season. Woods was 75-under par in his last five tournaments, four of them victories. And while he has to wait at least until his 45 to tap into the $10 million from the FedEx Cup, the $1.26 million in cash he earned Sunday pushed his season total to $10,876,052, the second-highest mark in PGA Tour history. Woods came up $29,114 short of the record set by Vijay Singh in 2004, although Singh earned that in 29 tournaments. Woods played in only 16 this year. WOMEN'S GOLF HALMSTAD, Sweden — The Americans have always owned singles, and after yet another Sunday success, they own the Solheim Cup again, too. The United States used a top-to-bottom blowout in singles to overcome a one-point deficit in soggy Sweden and win one of the biggest prizes in women's golf. This was only the second time they've captured the cup on European soil. Paula Creamer's tap-in on the 15th hole ensured the Americans of the 14 points they needed to retain the cup, and Nicole Castrale's 8-footer moments later wrapped up the United States' second straight win. By the time the matches and the blowout were over, the United States had gone 8-3-1 in singles to win 16-12. There were celebrations all over the course as the final matches played out. Nine of the Americans piled onto a cart to watch Cristie Kerr and Natalie Gulbis finish their matches. Laura Diaz sat in the front waving an American flag. Early winners included Juli Inkster, Pat Hurst, Angela Stanford, Morgan Pressel and Stacy Prammanasudh. Then, Gubis won, and the Americans bumped their winning percentage in singles from .590 to .602. That dominance in singles might be why the United States didn't panic after letting seemingly precious points slip away during two-plus days of fourball and foursome matches played in terrible conditions that ranged from soaking rains to 40 mph winds to both. Sunday, during the conclusion of the weather-delayed fourball matches, Creamer and Brittany Lincicome missed 3-foot tap-ins to cost their team a hole, the lead and eventually a half-point in a tie against Linda Wessberg and Maria Hjorth. 15 **ASSOCIATED STUDENTS** Tiger Woods follows no shot from the banker on the 1.74 half in the final round of the four Championship golf tournament at Earl Lark Golf Club, San Antonio.

ASSOCIATED PRESS NASCAR Clint Bowyer earns first series title Victory moves driver up eight spots in standings to fourth place BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS One race into the Chase. Bowyer turned in a legitimate contender. LOUDON, N.H. — Clint Bowyer was seeded last in the Chase for the championship field. With zero Nextel Cup wins and hardly any laps led, he went off as a 30-to-1 long shot to win the series title. "Once you get into the Chase, you've got to go for broke," Bowyer said. He raced to the first victory of his Cup career on Sunday by embarrassing the field at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where he started from the pole and led 222 of 300 laps while beating Jeff Gordon to the finish line by over six seconds. But NASCAR's scoring system rewards consistency, and Bowyer earned his spot in the title hunt with 12 top-10 finishes. His coveted win pushed him up eight spots in the standings to fourth. Bowyer started the Chase as the 12th seed, the only driver in the Chase field without a victory. He previously never finished higher than third before, and had led just 196 laps in his Cup career - 84 this season. He trails Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, who are tied for the lead, by just 15 points. "This proves we earned a spot and we're here for a reason and just so happy to be a part of the Chase," Bowyer said. "It's such a neat deal and, hey, this is the Nextel Cup, baby." Gordon, the four-time series champion, finished second and was followed by two-time series champion Tony Stewart. Kyle Busch was fourth and followed by Martin Truex Jr., Johnson and Matt Kenseth as Chase drivers took the top seven spots. Johnson and Gordon tied for the points lead with Stewart 10 points back. Bowyer moved into fourth place, 15 points out. Kyle Busch jumped four spots to fifth, 35 points behind. Truex moved to sixth, 40 points back, and Kenseth is seventh. Casey Mears was eighth, followed by Ryan Newman and J. J. Yeley. Edwards dropped four spots to eighth, and Hamlin fell three spots to ninth. Harvick ranked 10th. Burton moved to 11th and Kurt Busch plummeted seven spots to 12th. 102 points behind the leaders. "We need to run better than that, obviously, to contend for a championship," said Kenseth, 54 points behind. is happy for Clint. When we were up in New York, it seemed like everyone was like 'Clint Bowyer, he doesn't have a shot at the championship." The day belonged to Bowyer, who joined Truex as the two newcomers to the championship field. But never being to Victory Lane, few considered him a legitimate title contender. By blowing away the field, he changed that. "If you are going to win the first one of the year, that's the time to do it," Gordon said. "I think everybody Bowyer's car was good and he knew the only thing that could beat him was himself. It happened last week in Richmond, when he spun while trying to pass for the lead, and Bowyer spent the final 50 laps fretting over his radio. He worried about his car, grew frustrated with lapped traffic and the setting sun, which made it difficult for him to see at times. But his Richard Childress Racing team urged him to relax, and the 28-year-old Kansas driver nervously made it to the finish. "I'm not going to kid you, I was about to throw up," he said. "What was funny, I was starting to feel a vibration but I don't know what it was. It was just you hear every rattle, banging and everybody racing — I was watching up ahead hoping, praying that nobody crashed."

He was much more concerned with Colorado's playoff chances, though. Helton reached a personal milestone, and Chris Innetta also hit a three-run shot as the Rockies routed the Florida Marlins 13-0 on Sunday to avoid being swept at home for the first time this year. "I'm very proud of it," Helton said. "It's an honor to be able to go out and be on the field that long. But I mean, the situation we're in as a team right now is definitely the most important thing." Matt Holliday and Garrett Atkins also homered in Colorado's 20-hit outburst. Helton got four hits for the fourth time this season, and Iannetta had a career-high four RBIs. Holliday matched his career high with four hits, helping the Rockies (77-72) end a three-game skid.

Franklin Morales (2-2) allowed three hits in six innings for the victory. He struck out five and didn't bat a batter. Morales and three relievers combined for Colorado's sixth shutout this season and first at Coors Field. The team's las shutout at home came July 24, 2006, when Jeff Francis blanked St. Louis 7-0. Florida had its season-high four-game winning streak snapped. Atkins and Iannetta homered in the second to put Colorado ahead 4-0. Atkins hit the inning, then Iannetta golfed a three-run shot into Florida's bullpen in right-center for his fourth home run this season. "We haven't lost sight of anything," Colorado manager Clint Hurdle said. "Every day we show up it's important to win that day, and that's the way it will continue." Florida starter Scott Olsen (9-14) didn't retire a batter in the third inning. He gave up singles to Holliday, Helton and Atkins before walking Ryan Spillorbors to force in a run. Ross Wolf relieved Olsen, and a run scored when first baseman Jason Wood dropped shortstop Hanley Ramirez's throw for an error that allowed Wood to score. Olsen gave up six runs and eight hits in two-plus innings. He is win- less in two-plus starts since Aug. 5. "It wasn't a good day at all." Olsen said. "There have been a lot of these days this year."

The play敲ened the Yankees' 4-3 victory. BOSTON — Mariano Rivera retired David Ortiz on a popup with the bases loaded for the final out, and Derek Jeter broke an eighth-inning tie with a three-run homer that sent the New York Yankees to a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night. ASSOCIATED PRESS Curt Schilling (8-8) outlasted Roger Clemens but couldn't beat Jeter, who drove a 2-2 splitter over the Green Monster to give the Yankees a 4-1 lead. Joba Chamberlain and Rivera held on, helping New York move within $4\frac{1}{2}$ games of first-place Boston in the AL East. The Red Sox have a magic number of nine to clinch their first division title since 1995, but the Yankees won the season series 10-8 -- the first tiebreaker should the teams finish the year with the same record and both qualify for the playoffs. New York won six of the final seven meetings after Boston took the first four and five of the first six. The Yankees, who lead Detroit in the AL wild-card standings by $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ games, have won nine of 11 overall. Chamberlain (2-0) allowed one run and two hits, striking out three to earn the victory despite giving up the first earned run of his career — a solo homer by Mike Lowell that made it 4-2 in the eighth. Rivera allowed Julio Lugo's two-out RBI double in the ninth, then hit Jacoby Ellsbury with a pitch and walked Dustin Pedroia. But Ortiz popped up a 2-2 pitch into shallow center field, and a backpedaling Jeter made the catch before pumping his fist. It was Rivera's 28th save. Robinson Cano also homered for New York. Shilling allowed four runs and six hits, striking out two in 72-3 innings to fall to 0-3 in his last four starts. The right-hander gave up Cano's leadoff homer in the fifth, then retired 10 straight batters before Doug Mientkiewicz singled with one out in the eighth. Jason Giambi, out of the starting lineup so banged-up catcher Jorge Posada could DH, pinch hit and lined a single high off the Green Monster, sending Mientkiewicz to third as Giambi took second on the throw to the infield. Johnny Damon dribbled one off a broken bat, requiring a nice play by second baseman Pedroia to hold the runners and get the out at first. Jeter fell behind 1-2 before giving the Yankees the lead and chasing Schilling from the game. amigo HERBALIFE DE RISADO 14 CURAZO POCO DE SU PAÍS MLS Dynamo defeat Galaxy; Chivas, Rapids tie 1-1 DYNAMO 3, GALAXY 1 CARSON, Calif. — Dwayne De Rosario scored the tiebreaking goal and had an assist to lead the Houston Dynamo to a playoff berth with a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday night.

The Dynamo are the first Western team to qualify for this year's MLS playoff a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute.

The Bears defeated the Chiefs 20-10. Hester scored on a 73-yard punt return in the second quarter and set up a field goal in the third with another long return. BY ANDREW SELIGMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Every time he lines up for a return, Devin Hester believes a touchdown is just moments away. Associated Press Who can argue? Hester set the NFL record last season, and he's off to a good start this year. Hester scored on a 73-yard punt return in the second quarter and set up a field goal in the third with another long return to help the defending NFC champions beat the Kansas City Chiefs 20-10 on Sunday. "If there's not one returner who every time he touches the ball feels he can take it the distance, he doesn't need to be out there," Hester said. "I feel every time I get my hands on the ball it's a touchdown." Hester now has seven touchdown returns in his career and is one shy of Gale Sayers' team record. While Hester moved closer to that mark, Cedric Benson did his part to distance himself from the notion that he's soft. Benson carried 24 times for 101 yards, eight shy of his career high, after being held to 42 in last week's 14-3 season-opening loss at San Diego. It was a different story for Rex Grossman. He was 20-for-34 with 160 yards and a touchdown, but was picked off twice after passing for 145 yards against the Chargers. The fans let Grossman hear it in the fourth quarter, when Donnie Edwards intercepted him at the 43. The Chiefs (0-2) took over at the 25, but couldn't cut into a 20-10 lead. Minutes after blocking a 48-yard field goal by Dave Rayner, the Bears came up big again. With the ball on the 16, Charles Tillman deflected a pass intended for Sammie Parker in the end zone and Danieal Manning intercepted it. The Bears (1-1) hung on from there. Chicago was able to contain another star running back after shutting down LaDainian Tomlinson. This time, it was Larry Johnson, who managed just 55 yards on 16 attempts. "We're on the same page, we all get the same play book," Johnson said. "We just have to got out and execute what we have to put points on the board." Damon Huard wasn't much help, going 19-for-28 with 175 yards for Kansas City (0-2). He had a touchdown pass and an interception and was sacked four times before leaving late in the game for Brodie Croyle. But tight end Tony Gonzalez would not single out the quarterback. "He's proved he can do it," tight end Tony Gonzalez said of Haard. "He's done it before. I don't understand why we can't do it now. Something is not working right now." Lance Briggs forced a fumble and sacked Huard for Chicago. Brian Ulracher also got his first sack since 2005, but this was Hester's day. The Bears were leading 7-0 when he caught Dustin Colquitt's punt at the 27. He cut to his left, sidestepped several Chiefs and got some big blocks on the way to the end zone. Hester set an NFL record with six as a rookie last year, and that doesn't include the opening kickoff he ran back against Indianapolis in the Super Bowl. His second big punt return was even more impressive, even though he didn't reach the end zone. Hester caught the ball at midfield and sliced between two Chiefs and ran it back to the 19. That set up a 38-yard field goal by Robbie Gould that made it 20-7.

DENVER — The crowd groaned, the Raiders celebrated and Mike Shanahan smiled. Jason Elam's 23-yard field goal with 5:48 left in overtime goal the Broncos a 23-20 win over Oakland just minutes after the Raiders had exulted over what they thought was their own wild win. Sebastian Janikowski nailed a 52-yard field goal at 11:13 of overtime. But as the Raiders rushed the field in celebration and many of the Broncos hung their heads in defeat, referee Walt Anderson ruled that Denver had called a timeout just before the snap. On the retry, Janikowski's high-arcing kick hit the left upright, fluttering the flag atop the pole and giving the Broncos new life and the ball at their 42. They drove to the Oakland 6 and Elam nailed it on first down — and the Raiders didn't bother calling their own timeout. "They stole it from us and we stole it right back," Elam said. "I feel bad," Broncos safety John Lynch said. "But not really." The Raiders (0-2) swore they never heard the whistle. "Nobody was aware they called timeout," lamented Oakland's rookie coach, Lane Kiffin. "They rushed just like there wasn't a timeout. Maybe somebody's got to tell me the rule. They should tell the ref to blow it just before he kicks it." Shanahan knew exactly when to call it: right as long snapper Jon Condo looked up. "When you take it down to a millimeter of a second, that works pretty good," Lynch said. "Mike's timing was unbelievable. I was standing next to him when he told the referee. 'We're going to call a timeout.' But then I'm saying, 'All right, do it! Do it!' And he did, I think with 2 seconds, and the guy blew his whistle." The Broncos insisted they weren't so much trying to ice Janikowski as they were hoping to get their rushers a breather. If you've been waiting for an outpatient study, now's your chance!

He is a supporter of the USA Patriot Act and has overseen significant terror trials, such as the World Trade Center bombings in 1993. President Bush nominated Michael Mukasey on Monday to replace Alberto Gonzales as attorney general.

Scientists from the University of Kansas will explore that possibility tonight in a program on the History Channel. The show is part of a series called "Mega Disasters" in which scientists consider the effects of large. Thomas hypothetical disasters. Tonight's episode will focus on what might happen if one of these exploding stars, called a gamma-ray burst, hit Earth today. The scientists believe that gamma-ray bursts may have been responsible for past mass extinctions on Earth. "There was a sudden, unexplained ice age," said Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy. "This idea of gamma-ray bursts may explain that." Life is calling How far will you go? Bruce Lieberman, professor of Peace Corps Information Session Tuesday, Sept 18 7-8:30 p.m. Kansas Memorial Union Kansas Room (6th floor) The program also features Brian Thomas, who earned his doctorate in physics at the University in 2005. geology senior curator of invertebrate paleontology at the University's Natural History Museum, will be featured in tonight's episode. He said a gamma-ray burst could have caused the extinction in the Ordovician Period 450 million years ago that eliminated more than 100 families of marine life. Melott said the smog would darken the sky for five to ten years. During this time, it would be impossible to grow any crops. The researchers estimate that only five to ten percent of the world's population would be able to survive the initial effects. "Basically, the biggest effect would be starvation," Melott said. "A large fraction of the population would starve." MARK BLAIR "Technology may provide a way out from that for some of the population, but large numbers of deaths would be inevitable." Thomas said. "The chances of another extinction caused by a gamma-ray burst that might be enough to blind some people," Melot said. "Many people would experience rapid sunburn." are not high anytime soon." Thomas said. "We estimate a dangerously close one may occur every billion years or so. If it is the case that a GRB caused the late Ordovician extinction, then we wouldn't expect one for another 500 million years or so." If a gamma-ray burst were to hit Earth today, a narrow jet of radiation would strip the planet of its ozone layer. Chemical smog would block the sun, turning the sky black.

"We are protected by the atmosphere, which shields us from gamma-rays," he said. "Gamma-rays themselves do not penetrate through the atmosphere and, hence, do not affect us. I think we can survive."

Edited by Tara Smith Chinese, Russian spying reaches Cold War levels ASSOCIATED PRESS NATION WASHINGTON — China and Russia are spying on the United States nearly as much as they did during the Cold War, according to the top U.S. intelligence official. Mike McConnell, director of national intelligence, said in testimony prepared for a Tuesday congressional hearing that a law passed last month expanding the U.S. government's eavesdropping power was needed to protect not just against terrorists but also against more traditional potential adversaries, such as peacecorps.gov those two Cold War foes. "China and Russia's foreign intelligence services are among the most aggressive in collecting against sensitive and protected U.S. systems, facilities and development projects, and their efforts are approaching Cold War levels," McConnell says in his testimony. "Foreign intelligence information concerning the plans, activities and intentions of foreign powers and their agents is critical to protect the nation and preserve our security." The new law will also enable the intelligence agencies to identify "sleeper cells" of terrorists in the United States, according to McConnell's statement to the House Judiciary Committee. Some lawmakers are now having second thoughts as the complicated law — intended to make it easier for the government to intercept foreign calls and e-mails — has come under attack by civil liberties and privacy advocates who contend it gives the government broader powers than intended. Congress last month hastily adopted the Protect America Act just before it went on summer vacation, propelled by McConnell's warnings of a need to close a dangerous gap in U.S. intelligence law.

Edited by Jeff Briscoe NATION Bush nominates attorney general Former federal judge should face smooth confirmation process President Bush, right, listens as Michael Mukasey, his choice for attorney general, speaks in the Rose Garden of the White House on Monday. Mukasey, 66, retired federal judge from New York, currently serves as a judicial adviser to GOP president hopeful Rudy Giuliani. ASSOCIATED PRESS PRESIDENT OF THE U BY LARA JAKES JORDAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) _Former federal judge Michael Mukasey, a tough-on-terrorism jurist with an independent streak, was tapped by President Bush on Monday to take over as attorney general and lead a Justice Department accused of being too close to White House politics. Mukasey, the former chief U.S. district judge in the Manhattan courthouse just blocks from ground zero, will likely face a relatively smooth confirmation by a Democratic-led Senate that has demanded new Justice Department leadership for months. He replaces Alberto Gonzales, a Texan who announced his departure three weeks ago amid investigations that began with the firing of U.S. attorneys and mushroomed into doubts about his credibility. Appointed to the bench in 1987 by President Reagan, Mukasey also worked for four years as a trial prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in New York's southern district — one of the Justice Department's busiest and highest-profile offices in the country. "The department faces challenges vastly different from those it faced when I was an assistant U.S. attorney 35 years ago." Mukasey, 66, said as he stood next to Bush on the White House lawn. "But the principles that guide the department remain the same: to pursue justice by enforcing the law with unswerving fidelity to the Constitution." Mukasey said that, if confirmed, he hopes to give Justice employees "the support and the leadership they deserve." Bush had a close personal relationship going back to Texas with Gonzales, whose resignation was effective Monday. He does not have such ties with Mukasey. Mukasey had an interview with White House staff on Aug. 27, the day Gonzales announced his resignation, a senior administration official said. The president then met Mukasey on Sept. 1 and spent an hour with him. Bush on Monday called Mukasey a "tough but fair judge" and praised his reputation as a smart and strong manager. "Judge Mukasey is clear-eyed about the threat our nation faces," Bush said. Senators who will vote on Mukasey's confirmation stopped short of pledging to support him. But most agreed to try to begin quickly confirmation hearings to fill more than a half-dozen vacant senior positions at the scandal-scarred Justice Department. The department has been under siege for months over criticism it was too closely tied to politics under Gonzales' reign. "I think that he'll not only provide the president with firstrate legal counsel, but this nomination will go through Congress without much, if any, partisan politicizing, and I think the country needs a break from another explosive, controversial nomination," said Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., who knew Mukasey at Yale Law School in the mid-1960s. 2002 the material witness warrant that let the FBI arrest U.S. citizen Jose Padilla. That warrant marked the start of a case that wound its way through several federal courts as the government declared Padilla an enemy combatant and held him for 3 1/2 years before he was convicted last month on terrorism-related charges. In an opinion article published last month in The Wall Street Journal, Mukasey criticized U.S. national security law as too weak in some areas by noting that prosecutors are sometimes forced to reveal details of cases at the risk of tipping off terrorists. He is also a supporter of the government's anti-terror USA Patriot Act, wryly writing in 2004 that the "awkward name may very well be the worst thing about the statute." Yet Mukasey also criticized the Bush administration while he was on the bench. In December 2002, Mukasey ordered the government to let Padilla talk to a defense attorney. Prosecutors who initially resisted were rapped three months later in a terse and sternly worded response from the judge. "Lest any confusion remain, this is not a suggestion or a request that Padilla be permitted to consult with counsel, and it is certainly not an invitation to conduct a further 'dialogue' about whether he will be permitted to do so," Mukasey wrote in the March 2003 order. "It is a ruling — a determination — that he will be permitted to do so." Sen. Arlen Specter, top Republican on the Senate Judiciary panel, urged his colleagues to begin Mukasey's confirmation quickly. That ruling offered a glimpse of what colleagues describe as Mukasey's trademark brusqueness and impatience with people who waste his time. But it also endeared him to the liberal-leaning American Center for Law and Justice, which supports his confirmation, while raising a red flag for conservatives with whom Mukasey met Sunday to try to appease. Even so, Bush's pick did little to appease a simmering fight between the White House and Senate Democrats who want the administration to hand over data about its terrorist surveillance program. Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., threatened to hold up Mukasey's nomination until the White House gives up the information. "There is no doubt that the Department of Justice has been in disarray for some time," said Specter, R-Pa. "So that I think it is very important to act promptly, not with undue haste, getting an opportunity to review Judge Mukasey's background." Assistant Attorney General Peter Keisler will serve as acting attorney general during Mukasey's confirmation process. Mukasey, a partner at New York-based law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, is also a close friend to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican. He is stepping down as an adviser to Giuliani's presidential campaign, on which he served as part of an advisory committee on judicial nominations. Mukasey did not suffer fools lightly from the bench — and probably wouldn't if confirmed to the 15-month stint at the Justice Department. "Our focus now will be on securing the relevant information we need so we can proceed to schedule fair and thorough hearings," Leahy said. "Cooperation from the White House will be essential in determining that schedule." Mukasey oversaw some of the nation's most significant terror trials in the years before and after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "He wanted to get right to the core of the issue," said Michael Horowitz, a former senior Justice Department prosecutor who argued several cases in front of Mukasey. "He was always prepared and he knew the issues. So he didn't need a lot of the background, a lot of the fluff that you often get in arguments." He sentenced so-called "blind Sheik" Omar Abdel Rahman to life in prison for the 1993 World Trade Center bombings, and he signed in Smart. Talented. Ambitious. Let's combine our strengths.

"The big question is whether he can successfully make the transition from a judicial mindset to a political one," said Brad Berenson, a lawyer who formerly worked in the counsel's office of the Bush White House and called Mukasey honorable and smart. "The jobs of being a judge and a Cabinet official are very different, and so are the necessary approaches to leading and making decisions." MCAT | DAT | OAT | PCAT Save $200!

An online poll conducted by MSNBC reveals that 89 percent of vot- that 95 percent of voters believe, "between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting [President Bush] on trial." Regardless of the situation in Iraq, the impeachment of President Bush at this point would do little to improve either the situation in Iraq or in America." Impeachment is reserved for those who commit high crimes and misdemeanors. It is a way of holding the president accountable for a specific crime, and there is a certain difficulty in specifying what "secret spying" and "deceptions leading to war" are and just what laws they break (former President Bill Clinton comes to mind; he committed perjury and was impeached by the House). The impeachment process is not a means to remove an unpopular leader (see Andrew Johnson's presidency), but rather a means of holding leaders accountable for their actions. It is an exercise in constitutional authority and should never be a revenge tactic. President's Bush's popularity aside, he has yet to be charged with any impeachable offense. 564, 166 responses have been recorded for the MSNBC online poll, (just 350,000 fewer hits than YouTube's "Coach Mark Mangino explodes" video) and it's problematic to see that 89 percent of those participants are for the removal of Bush but are prepared for a Cheney-run White House. And if Americans don't like Cheney, should the House impeach him too? What's worse is that most voters probably didn't take the time to think past Bush, because if they did, 89 percent are, by extension, comfortable with a 2008 election featuring an incumbent Republican candidate. even though Cheney has said that there is no way he would accept the bid for a presidential nomination. Not only would impeachment be a long and drawn-out process (remember former President Clinton's own lengthy and expensive trial), but also it would only serve to further divide the country along partisan lines and waste yet more tax money on legal fees. There is a time to judge the effectiveness of elected leaders, and it's in November. DRAWING BOARD HOW THINGS ARE REALLY STUDIED BUBBLE BUBBLE WHOOOOOSH! PEW PEW! CHEMISTRY WHAT ARE YOU? AEROSPACE GEOLOGY FRUIT FOR THOUGHT TEA AND CAKE, OR DEATH Student Senate deserving of wages Long hours, summer preparation and a large list of responsibilities justifies current pay As a student who belongs to many student groups, I am cognizant of the concept of spreading oneself too thin. However, out of all the organizations I attach my name to, Student Senate gives me the biggest headache. But I forgot to mention that working in Student Senate gives me the most satisfaction as well. Surely by now, most students reading this column will have heard or read something about the members of Senate and what they accomplish. I fancy Student Senate as the umbrella organization that bonds all the other clubs and groups together. For example, every other Wednesday, I have to listen to various student organizations as they supplicate my committee, Multicultural Affairs, for general or special funding. I recently realized the enormity of the influence and responsibility that senators and executive officers hold. To further explain this thought, I couldn't believe my ears at the first Senate meeting when I heard that the president, vice-president, and the executive appointees had to work tirelessly throughout the summer. President Hannah Love and Vice President Ray Wittlinger met with the Regents Board of Kansas over the summer and had to present reports. Even more so, the Transportation Coordinator, May Davis, effectively helped revamp the entire KU bus system with the help of KU Transit and the Kansas Department of Transportation. I would like to think that was no small task. The SLAB coordinators Rachel Barnes and Alex Treaster attended several meetings throughout the summer in order to facilitate a good relationship with the city of Lawrence and the University of Kansas. JORDAN WILLIAMS semester and does not cease. Moreover, the president of Student Senate must correspond with the presidents of the other four Senates, which are: the Faculty, Unclassified, University and University Support Senates. I bet some students did not know that. With that information, it now seems to make sense that there would be some kind of monetary compensation and reduced tuition. that these elected officials do should not be conceptualized as being facile. I would contend that few officers in most student organizations are mandated by their organization to log in several dozens of hours over the summer. The momentum built by the aforementioned personnel in the months of June and July carries over into the fall ful, that these responsibilities warrant special attention from the University. And I couldn't agree more. Highly-ranked officials like the president and vicepresident are directly held liable by Chancellor Hemenway and the Board of Regents. I'm fairly certain one cannot make that claim about most presidents of nearly all clubs on campus. All the work Additionally, while I am enamored of the Kansan, I would assert that nominating the Kansan as the only source of Senate oversight is fallacious. The Vice Provost for Student Success, Marlesa Roney, and the Associate Director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, Aaron Quisenberry, often sit in on the full Student Senate. This may seem ridiculous to others, but I seriously doubt that such important liaisons to the University would allow Senate improprieties. I care to note that all the senators, myself included, are fine and upstanding students or we wouldn't have been voted into or appointed for a position in Student Senate. At this point, I feel as if I'm brow-beating the reader into submission, so I will end on this rhetorical question. Would you rather accept the responsibility of the President of the Knitting Club, or be the President of Student Senate and kiss the majority of your summer break goodbye?

Think twice before making an online apology Relying on Facebook and Myspace impersonalizes the message In this ever-changing, goog world of technology, certain ways of communicating have adapted. You can now post your résumé online and receive an e-mail an hour later requesting a job interview. You can text message, "I love you" and actually mean it. You can display our generation's own form of electronic graffiti and anger a lot of people in the process. There are some ways of communicating, though, that should keep with convention. Life as any college student with any major is like a slow- moving car wreck. You always have the option, though, of what you want to do and how you want to accomplish your goals before the wreck can Aeropostal MATT HIRSCHFELD commence. You have control. There are some events, though, that occur and make you lose control. That slow moving car wreck turns into a ten-car pileup. One of these events is a death of someone close. I am not going to write about the meaning of life and why we are all here. I want to discuss how innocent bystanders of this pile-up should respond to such an event in this ever-changing world of technology. Facebook and Myspace are great forms of entertainment in which you can spend copious, unproductive and mindless hours doing whatever your heart desires. There are some actions on these Web sites, however, that are taboo and in my opinion should never be adapted with technology. or her own insecurities by announcing to world that he or she cares about a friend, but honestly, the suffering party is the only person's opinion he or she should care about. Going through a death of a family member or a good friend puts your entire world to a stop. The last thing you want to see, trust me on this, is someone's sympathy plastered all over your wall on Facebook or comments on Myspace. It's tacky. No, wearing socks with sandals is tacky. It's rude, offensive and inconsiderate. I've been there and This is where technology has failed us. It is entirely too easy to express feelings via written text. Death is something we are going to all deal with eventually or have already dealt with, and friends' actions can contribute positively or negatively to the experience. I'm not sure if it is a person's way of vindicating his seen there and done that, and here are some guidelines that I've come to develop by being on both sides of the equation. Don't ever sympathies on a friend's public wall or comments. Not to be too Emily Post-esque, but a hand-written letter via the US Postal Service makes a world of difference. It may be 41 cents more costly, but its effect is long lasting. To that effect, I'm not even completely sure if a private message is all too appropriate either. It may not be displayed to the public, but its meaning can still be lost in translation. And lastly, just call the person! Hearing sympathy is a lot more comforting than reading it and it shows that you care enough and have thought enough about your friend to make the effort. So the next time you click "Write On ___'s Wall" on Facebook or "Add Comment" on Myspace in a time of tragedy, think twice. Maybe that person does not want all of their friends to read how sorry you are or how your friend is in your prayers. Maybe that person just needs a good friend.

Smith 8A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18.2007 CONSUMER SAFETY Popular Crocs linked to escalator injuries Soft-soled shoes blamed for accidents involving young children, moving staircases BY SARAH KARUSH ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — At rail stations and shopping malls around the world, reports are popping up of people, particularly young children, getting their toes caught in escalators. The one common theme seems to be the clunky soft-soled clogs known by the name of the most popular brand, Crocs. One of the nation's largest subway systems — the Washington Metro — has even posted ads warning riders about wearing such shoes on its moving stairways. The ads feature a photo of a crocodile, though they don't mention Crocs by name. Four-year-old Rory McDermott got a Croc-clad foot caught in an escalator last month at a mall in northern Virginia. His mother managed to yank him free, but the nail on his big toe was almost completely ripped off, causing heavy bleeding. At first, Rory's mother had no idea what caused the boy's foot to get caught. It was only later, when someone at the hospital remarked on Rory's shoes, that she began to suspect the Crocs and did an Internet search. "I came home and typed in 'Croc' and 'escalator', and all these cases came up," said Jodi McDermott, of Vienna, Va. "If I had known, those would never have been worn." According to reports appearing across the United States and as far away as Singapore and Japan, entrapments occur because of two of the biggest selling points of shoes like Crocs; their flexibility and grip. Some report the shoes get caught in the "teeth" at the bottom or top of the escalator and also in the crack between the steps and the side of the escalator. The reports of serious injuries have all involved young children. Crocs are commonly worn by children as young as 2. The company introduced shoes in its smallest size, 4/5, this past spring. Niwot, Colo-based Crocs Inc. said it does not keep records of the reasons for customer-service calls. But the company said it is aware of "very few" problems relating to accidents involving the shoes, which are made of a soft, synthetic resin. "Thankfully, escalator accidents like the one in Virginia are rare," the company said in a statement. In Japan, the government warned consumers last week that it had received 39 reports of sandals — mostly Crocs or similar products mountains or small products — getting stuck in escalators from late August through early September. Most of the reports appear to involve small children, some as young as two years old. Kazuo Motoya of Japan's National Institute of Technology and Evaluation said children may have more escalator accidents in part because they "bounce around when they stand on escalators, instead of watching where they place their feet." In Singapore, a 2-year-old girl wearing rubber clogs — it's unclear what brand — had her big toe completely ripped off in an escalator accident last year, according to local media reports. And at the Atlanta airport, a 3-year-old boy wearing Crocs suffered a deep gash across the top of his toes in June. That was one of seven shoe entrapments at the airport since May 1, and all but two of them involved Crocs, said Roy Springer, operations manager for the company that runs the airport terminal. One U.S. retailer that caters to children, Mattel subsidiary American Girl, has posted signs in three locations directing customers wearing Crocs or flip-flop sandals to use elevators instead of escalators. During the past two years, so- called "shoe entrappers" in the Washington subway have gone from being relatively rare to happening four or five times a week in the summer, though none have caused serious injuries, said Dave Lacosse, who overseees the subways' 588 escalators, the most of any U.S. transit system. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said escalator accidents caused more than 10,000 injuries last year, but the agency had few records of specific shoe problems. Only two shoe entrapments have been reported by consumers since the beginning of 2006. One reported in May involved "rubber footwear" Agency spokesman Ed Kang urged people who have had problems to report them on the commission's Web site. Crocs officials said they were working with the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation on public education initiatives. But the group's executive director, Barbara Allen, said that was not true. Allen said a Crocs official called her in September 2006 about possible cooperation, even suggesting the company might put a tag in its shoes with the foundation's Web address. But since that first contact, Crocs has not called, and nobody from the company will return Allen's calls, she said. Washington Metro's Lacosse and other escalator experts said the best way to prevent shoe entrapments was to face the direction the stairs were moving, keep feet away from the sides and step over the teeth at the end. Lacosse, of the Washington subway system, said he was personally skittish of Crocs and other soft-soled shoes. "Would I wear them? No," he said. "And I tell my children not to wear them either." I'll go with the one with the cleats. Rory Mcdermott, 4, poses for a picture with his Crocs at his home in Vienna, Va., on Sept. 7. The boy's Crock-clad left foot was caught in an escalator on Aug. 30. Crocs and other soft-soled shoes, such as flip-flops, can be prone to escalator entrapment. ASSOCIATED PRESS BATHROOM ETIQUETTE Women still cleaning up better than men BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP MEDICAL WRITER CHICAGO — The gender gap has widened when it comes to hygiene, according to the latest stakeout by the "hand washing police." One-third of men didn't bother to wash after using the bathroom, compared with 12 percent of women, said the researchers who spy on people in public restrooms. They reported their latest findings Monday at a meeting of infectious disease scientists. Two years ago, the last time the survey was done, only one-quarter of men didn't wash, compared with 10 percent of women. "Guys need to step up to the sink," said Brian Sansoni, spokesman for the Soap and Detergent Association, which co-sponsored the survey and related education campaigns. The latest study was based on observations last month of more than 6,000 people in four big cities. Frequent hand washing is the single best thing people can do to avoid getting sick, from colds and the flu to germs lurking in food, doctors say. And a recent Harris Interactive survey found 92 percent of Americans said they always wash up after using the bathroom. But researchers for the American Society for Microbiology found that only 77 percent actually do, when it comes to public restrooms. That's a 6 percent decline from a similar study in 2005. The dirty details: Carry sanitizer gels and wipes in case the means to wash your hands weren't handy, suggested microbiologist ludy Daly Telephone surveys by the research firm Harris Interactive showed little shift in attitudes over previous polls in 2003 and 2005. The latest was of 1,001 adults from Aug. 17-20 cent at the Big Apple's Penn and Grand Central train stations.

In choosing Koroma, the battleweary citizens of this West African country voted against the party that ushered them out of a devastating war in 2002 and for the promise of a better peace with less corruption and more jobs. Hours after the swearing-in ceremony, hundreds of looters descended on the headquarters of the former president's party. They carried out desks and chairs, computer monitors and printers, posters and coat racks before police blanketed the neighborhood with tear gas. Police also fired bullets into the air and arrested numerous people while regaining control of the area. At least one person was killed, according to footage taken by an Associated Press Television News cameraman at the scene. tion officials declared him the winner with 55 percent of 1.7 million ballots cast, compared with 45 percent for the ruling party candidate.

Thousands of Koroma's supporters wearing red T-shirts and hats clogged the streets of the capital city of Freetown, singing and dancing through a heavy midday downpour. Although ruling party officials had earlier decried the outcome on local radio, Berewa said he called Koroma with congratulations soon after the release of the results.

Peace was re-established in diamond-rich Sierra Leone with the help of U.N. forces in 2002, but most of its residents remain poor and unemployed, and corruption is rampant. Koroma, 54, promised to root out corruption and create economic opportunities. A former insurance company executive, he also promised to run the government with the efficiency of a business, quickly rebuilding roads and infrastructure. The election, the first presidential vote since U.N. peacekeepers withdrew two years ago, was seen as a test of whether the West African country has emerged from the chaos "My government will spare no effort to adopt zero tolerance on corruption and mismanagement of state resources We know how high your expectations are and that you have suffered for too long," Koroma told the crowd of military officials, dignitaries and supporters at the ceremony. Alieu Mansaray, an accountant and Koroma supporter, said in Freetown that he was looking forward "to having good roads, regular electricity and water supply, quality and affordable education for our children." About 2.6 million of Sierra Leone's 5 million people registered to vote in the election. Kabbah was barred by term limits from running for a third five-year term. The governing party candidate was considered the front-runner before the first round of voting on Aug. 11. But Koroma won 44 percent of the vote in the first round, compared with 38 percent for Berea. The margin was not large enough for him to win outright, forcing a runoff. Koroma's win solidifies the return of his All People's Congress to power for the first time since being ousted in a 1992 coup. The APC also won the majority of legislative seats in last month's vote. VENEZUELA Chavez makes new curriculum President may close schools that don't accept it TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY BY IAN JAMES ASSOCIATED PRESS Genesis Barreto, 10, sings Venezuela's national anthem as she and her fourth grade class begin a school day at a Bolivian school in Caracas on Wednesday. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened on Monday to close or take over any private school that refuses to submit to the oversight of his socialist government as it develops a new curriculum and textbooks. CARACAS, Venezuela—President Hugo Chavez threatened on Monday to close or take over any private school that refuses to submit to the oversight of his socialist government as it develops a new curriculum and textbooks. ASSOCIATAED PRESS "Society cannot allow the private sector to do whatever it wants," said Chavez, speaking on the first day of classes. All schools, public and private, must admit state inspectors and submit to the government's new educational system, or be closed and nationalized, with the state taking responsibility for the education of their children, Chavez said. A new curriculum will be ready by the end of this school year, and new textbooks are being developed to help educate "the new citizen," said Chavez's brother and education minister Adan Chavez, who joined him a televised ceremony at the opening of a public school in the eastern town of El Tigre. The president's opponents accuse him of aiming to indoctrinate young Venezuelans with socialist ideology. But the education minister said the aim is to develop "critical thinking," not to impose a single way of thought. Just what the new curriculum will include and how it will be applied to all Venezuelan schools and universities remains unclear. "We want to create our own ideology collectively — creative, diverse," the president said, adding that it would help develop values of "cooperation and solidarity." All schools will be bound to "subordinate themselves to the constitution" and comply with the "new Bolivarian educational system," he said, referring to his socialist movement named after South American independence hero Simon Bolivar. Anticipating criticism, Chavez said the state's role in regulating education is internationally accepted and that it wouldn't be possible for a school administrator to insist on autonomy in countries like Germany or the United States. Chavez also noted that previous Venezuelan educational systems carried their own ideology. Leafing through old grade school textbooks from the 1970s, he pointed out how they referred to Venezuela's "discovery" by Europeans. "They taught us to admire Christopher Colombus and Superman," Chavez said, adding that education based on capitalist ideology had destroyed "the values of children."

DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS The University of Kansas Health Care that's Always There Then first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, holding a copy of the Clinton health care plan, tried and failed to reform health insurance during her husband's first term. In the years since the proposal, wary presidential candidates at first avoided the altogether, then only gingerly approached the subject. This year, no self-respecting presidential candidate, including Clinton, wants to be without a health-care reform plan, and widespread talk of universal coverage is back. ASSOCIATED PRESS www.doleinstitute.org 250 PETEFISH LA, WARENCE, KS 60645 KU SCHOOL OF LAW The University of Kansas >> PRESIDENTIAL RACE Clinton proposes universal health care, says big government is not involved ASSOCIATED PRESS DESMOINES, Iowa — Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton called for universal health care on Monday, plunging back into the bruising political battle she famously lost as first lady on an issue that looms large in the 2008 presidential race. "This is not government-run," the party's front-runner said of her plan to extend coverage to an estimated 47 million Americans who now go without. In unveiling her plan, she called for a requirement for businesses to obtain insurance for employees, and said the wealthy should pay higher taxes to help defray the cost for those less able to pay for it. She put the government's cost at $110 billion a year. Her declaration was a clear message to Republicans, the insurance industry, businesses and millions of voters who nervously recall what sank her effort at health care reform 13 years ago — fear of a big-government takeover. Mindful of the lessons of her failed attempt, Clinton said that anyone who was content with their health coverage could keep what they had. She insisted no new government bureaucracy would be created even as it sought to cover tens of millions uninsured. "I know my Republican opponents will try to equate health care for all Americans with government-run health care," Clinton said. "Don't let them fool us again. This is not government-run." The New York senator said her plan would require every American to purchase insurance, either through their jobs or a program modeled on Medicare or the federal employee health plan. Businesses would have to offer insurance or contribute to a pool to expand coverage. Individuals and small businesses would receive tax credits to make insurance more affordable. Then, the Clinton health care task force met in secret and tried to drive legislation through Congress. Now, Clinton, a senator for seven years, spoke of compromise, although she vowed to accomplish her goal in her first term if elected. "I believe everyone — every man, woman and child — should have quality, affordable health care in America," Clinton told an audience at a medical center in Iowa, where the nomination process starts. As the front-runner, Clinton drew swift criticism from rivals, including party foes Bill Richardson and John Edwards who argued she was merely following their lead in offering a similar plan. Clinton framed her quest as a moral imperative in which individuals, businesses, the insurance industry and the federal government each had a role to play. She said her plan would be bipartisan and would only be successful through negotiation — a sharp departure from her earlier effort.

Adam McDonald/KANSAN 》 GET BUSY LIVIN' Big scores mean big savings; bookstores still good sports After Kansas' 45-13 bludgeoning of Toledo on Saturday — its third consecutive blowout against an overmatched nonconference opponent this year — one thought popped into my head. Shouldn't coach Mark Mangino have consulted the campus bookstores before putting together this season's schedule? The bookstores are taking a hit. You'd think that after watching his team rack up 53 points per game and 21 total touchdowns during its first three games, Mangino could at least send an apology note. BY RUSTIN DODD KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST RDDOD@KANSAN.COM What? You haven't heard? KU Bookstores offer a 5 percent discount on KU apparel for every touchdown the Jayhawks score for a discount of as much as 30 percent as part of its Touchdown Tuesday promotion. The Jayhawk Bookstore offers the same discount for as much as 35 percent for a promotion titled Monday Madness. For the past three weeks, Mondays and Tuesday have been like Christmas, Kanukahk and Kwanzaa all rolled into one. I mean, some students are wearing so much KU athletic gear that they're starting to look like freshman walk-on basketball players, trying to make sure everyone knows they're on the team. As for the bookstores, they are staying positive. "We have no problem with the team scoring this many points," said Toni Retonde, an assistant store manager at Jayhawk Bookstore. Well, sure, but every week? sure everyone knows theyre on the team. With 159 total points in three games, Kansas has already topped its total of 146 points from its first five games a year ago. "Well. I don't know if we would welcome it every week," Retonde said. "But there might be some weeks where they don't score any touchdowns." It gets better. The most points Kansas has ever scored in a season is 384 in 13 games in 2003. If the Jayhawks keeps up their current scoring pace through all 12 games, they'll score 636 points. Obviously, Kansas can't keep up this pace all season long, but with Florida International on deck for Saturday and Big 12 doormats Baylor and Iowa State waiting down the road, Mondays and Tuesdays might continue to be prime shopping days for Kansas fans Some students are wearing so much KU athletic gear that they're starting to look like freshmen walk-on basketball players trying to make sure everyone knows they're on the team. This Kansas offense just looks different. And don't be surprised if it has a little more to do with the play of the 5-foot-11 wunderkind behind center than the weak defenses I hate to be the bearer of bad news for the bookstores, but don't count on that. Kansas has lined up against every week. Through three games Todd Reesing has 10 touchdowns — eight away from Bill Whittimore's single-season record of 18 touch-down passes in 2003 — and the sophomore also has the 10th highest quarterback rating in the country at 174.49. This isn't the first time a promotion has potentially backfired. After years of success with its "12 Krispy Kremes for 12 hits" promotion, the Kansas City Royals began a new partnership with Panera Bread this year. Fans were guaranteed 13 bagels if the Royals managed 13 hits. But the first time it happened, Panera was overloaded with customers and ended up giving out more than 100,000 free bagels, a Panera representative said. So a big thumbs up to the bookstores for sticking with the discounts even as the Kansas offense does its best "Greatest Show on Turf" impersonation. — Edited by Elizabeth Cattell Don't be surprised if this offensive explosion continues into Big 12 play and we continue to see more and more KU apparel on campus.

If I did one thing right last week, I played the right position. Because I was the only first baseman during the Kansas baseball walk on tryouts, I've been invited back for today's tryout scrimmage. I wish I could tell you a story about how I was one of the nine best players to try out, but the most generous analysis I can make of my tryout performance is that I picked the right position. What I can tell you is that tryouts went nothing like I expected after my week of preparation. WHAT DID I GET MYSELF INTO? Less than five minutes into the first day of tryouts, that's what was going through BY SHAWN SHROYER my head. I was struggling just to play catch. Imagine Rick Ankiel from the 2000 playoffs, Chuck Knoblauch from 1999 on, and Rube Baker from Major League II. Put them together, and you get an idea of what I looked like trying to warm up. I'd gotten so worked up about being perfect during my first time back on a real diamond that whatever connects my brain to my throwing hand had become unhinged. All of a sudden I was toiling to do something I'd been doing for nearly two decades, the simplest task to do in baseball; play catch. During the next two days I gained even more appreciation for all that Ankiel has been through and overcome as I continued to labor, putting too much thought into throwing a ball. MY GLOVE, MY GLOVE, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME? Tom Keegan, sports editor for the Lawrence Journal-World, wrote "The First Baseman," a book that tries (effectively, if I do say so myself) to put the kibos on the notion that first basemen are subpar defensive players. But during the course of the three-day tryout, I did little to back up his claim. 1 SEE SHROYER ON PAGE 4B 1 1. > 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2007 MLB Mulder's injury may be cause of inconsistent performance ST.LOUIS - St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Mark Mulder, who has struggled in all three starts this month after returning from rotator cuff surgery, might have to undergo further tests on his left shoulder. Trainer Barry Weinberg said Monday that an MRI exam could be scheduled for Mulder pending an exam by team physician Dr. George Paletta later in the day. Mulder, 0-3 with a 12.27 ERA, experienced discomfort in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. "We'll have the doctor look at him today and make a plan from there," Weinberg said. "We'll let Doc make that determination." Mulder said after the start that he was unable to get his arm high enough to finish his pitches. He worked three innings, allowing four runs on seven hits. In 11 innings overall since his return, Mulder has surrendered 15 earned runs, 22 hits and seven walks. "It's the chicken or the egg," Weinberg said. "We don't know whether mechanics are causing the discomfort or the discomfort is causing the mechanics. We'll take a look at him this week and see what happens." Mulder threw two scoreless innings on Sunday before the Cubs batted around in the third and scored all four of their runs, including Matt Murton's three-run homer. 3 "I have more strength, more adrenaline in the first, which makes it look better. It's not," Mulder said. "It doesn't feel any different to me. It's not that I get tired. It's just that my arm doesn't ever get up to where it needs to be. I feel that from the first pitch on." Mulder said the story has been the same in all three of his starts. Germany leaps past Japan, 2-0 "I have one bad inning in each one and it kind of does it in for me," Mulder said. "I have some moments where I feel OK, but it's still not where it needs to be at any moment."

Asher Fusco Friday night showdown pits college versus high school ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For years and years, an unwritten rule in college football said you never schedule games on Friday nights. Friday night belonged exclusively to high schools. It was sort of a gentleman's agreement between universities and secondary schools because colleges did not want to cut into high school game attendance. And they still don't, Bob Stoops said as he prepared to send his fourth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners against Tulsa in a made-for TV affair this Friday night. "And it isn't something you'll see us doing again for a long, long time." "I think this is the only Friday night game we have had," said the Oklahoma coach Monday, apparently forgetting his season opener at Tulsa in 2002 also fell on a Friday. Oklahoma State played at Troy on Friday night, so Oklahoma's three biggest schools will all have broken the unwritten rule this year and apparently incurred the wrath of quite a few high school officials around the state. "It's an absolute travesty for high school football," Butch Peters, head coach at Norman, Okla., High School told the Daily Oklahoman. "It's going to kill a lot of gates, a lot of crowds. I'm very upset about it. ... I can't believe the NCAA would allow any network to broadcast games on Friday nights." Apparently, there are two main reasons universities have begun scheduling on Friday night television money and television exposure. "It's sad that money causes shifts in decades-old traditions," said Gary Savely, athletics director at Oklahoma's McGuinness High School. "But it is a fact of life that cannot be ignored." Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy also said it's something the Cowboys do not do lightly. "If we play a game on a Friday night, our thought is to play it out of state, not in-state," said Gundy. "Nobody wants to affect high school football. But then again, do you want to play on national TV? It's kind of a double-edged sword." Stoops said Oklahoma consulted with high school officials about their plans. "Our athletics director, Joe Castiglione, did go to the high school coaches association and check with them before we agreed to do it," he said. "They were OK with it because it isn't something we're going to make a habit of. You probably won't see us do it again. It's not that we need to be on TV. We're on TV every week. This won't be something you see us making a habit of, for sure." And who knows? Maybe Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Tulsa have unwittingly helped rival recruiters get their foot in the door at Oklahoma high schools — at least those who do not play on Friday night. That may be little comfort to high school officials dealing with diminished crowds and shrunken ticket sales this weekend. TOWEL POWER Jayhawks' faults hardly alarming Depth problems pale in comparison to OSU's mess Fusco: Another week and another win for Kansas, as the Todd Reesing show rolled on for the third consecutive week without any big hitches. Reesing was great, the defense was stout and Jake Sharp ran all over Toledo's defense. A lot of things stood out to me as definite positives on Saturday night, namely the Kansas defense's allowing just 77 passing yards and forcing four turnovers. BY ASHER FUSCO AND CASE KEEFER KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNISTS AFUSCO@KANSAN.COM CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM Keefer: Searching for Kansas' deficiencies through the lens of its first three games is like mining for gold on Mount Oread. You can try, but you're not going to find anything. But that's not to say it's time to pencil the Jayhawks in for a New Year's Day bowl game. Depth could be a concern for this team, compared with the Big 12 conference's best. Kansas hasn't encountered any problems in that area yet, but imagine an injury to a starting offensive lineman, for example. It could be fatal. Fusco: Depth is certainly an issue for Kansas at some spots, most notably up front. The Jayhawks got quite a scare early in Saturday's game when junior guard Chet Hartley left with a leg injury. Thankfully for Kansas, he was back a few plays later, because the team's depth on the offensive and defensive lines is certainly short of ideal. But hey, at least the Jayhawks didn't lose to a team from the Sun Belt Conference. Oklahoma State, I'm looking at you. Keefer: To put it lightly, the Cowboys have been an embarrassment. They received national attention because everyone thought their offense would be as golden as King Tut's tomb. Instead, it's been rusty enough to make me feel as if I would need a tetanus shot if I touched it. Now Stillwater, Okla., $ in the midst of a quarterback controversy between Zac Robinson and Bobby Reid, star running back Dantrell Savage is banged up, and the defense looks like that of a middle school team. Fusco: Overall, it was a pretty underwhelming weekend for the Big 12. Nebraska, one of the supposed powers of the Big 12 North division, was completely destroyed by USC at home, and Texas barely escaped the University of Central Florida's famed Bright House Networks Stadium with a win. If we learned anything this weekend, it is that the SEC and the Pac-10, sans Auburn and UCLA, are head and shoulders above any of the other conferences. Keefer: Those two conferences are home to nine of the nation's 30 unbeaten teams. Kansas' road to an undefeated start may have been easier than the majority of those 30 teams, but the important thing is that the Jayhawks have looked perfect doing it. For the Jayhawk fans who need something to be skeptical about, consider this: Reesing has thrown for more than 200 yards in his first three games. Who was the last KU quarterback to accomplish this? Old friend Adam Barmann accomplished the feat three years ago. Yikes! Similarities between Reesing and Barmann? Say it ain't so. 》PGA - Edited by Matt Erickson Tiger caps historic year with another victory Despite dominating Tour, his best years may be ahead of him TW BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — Four victories in his last five starts is proof enough that Tiger Woods is more dominant than ever, especially considering he won those four tournaments by a combined 20 shots and shattered tournament scoring records in consecutive weeks. More evidence came from his caddie as he waited for Woods to arrive for the final round of the Tour Championship. No practice? Not quite. "He hasn't hit a practice ball since the British Open," Steve Williams said. "I've been with him nearly 10 years now, and this is the best I've ever seen him hit the ball." Tiger Woods holds up the FedEx Cup trophy after winning both the Tour Championship golf tournament and the cup points standing at East Lake Golf Club on Sunday in Atlanta. Woods' recent performances will be near the quality of his 2000 season, when he won three major tournaments. ASSOCIATED PRESS What he meant was that Woods has such command over his game that he stopped going to the practice range after his rounds since returning home from Carnoustie. Woods confirmed as much when he left East Lake with his two trophies — one for the Tour Championship, one for the FedEx Cup. "Hey, there was no need to go" he said with a shrug and a smile. Whether this is the best he has ever played is up for debate, but don't expect Woods to participate. He is always looking forward, always trying to figure out a way to get better. That's what makes it so daunting for the guys trying to reach his level. They know they have to get better, and that's assuming Woods doesn't continue to improve himself. So far, that hasn't happened. Since his latest round of swing changes took root at the end of 2004, Woods has won 21 times on the PGA Tour. That's more than Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh and Jim Furyk combined over the last three years. And the truly scary part is that Woods, at age 31, might still be years away from his prime. "I don't know when it's going to be," Woods said. "The whole idea is to try and keep improving. When all is said and done, when you rack the cue and go home and retire, you can honestly say, 'These were my best years, when I was at my peak.' But when you're in it, you're always trying to improve that a little bit to get to the next level." As the trophies keep piling up, the numbers are simply staggering. Woods now has won 61 times in just more than 11 full years on the PGA Tour, Jack Nicklaus was 36 when he captured his 61st tour victory. He has won 28 percent of the time since turning pro, and that if that number is hard to fathom alone, consider that Mickelson has won 9 percent of his tournaments, Singh is at 8 percent and Ernie Els at 6 percent.

Of course, rattled by my shaky fielding and still hesitant to cut loose, I didn't improve my throwing in the field. Luckily, on day one I got to exhibit my specialty — standing on first and taking throws. But one fellow tryout participant gave me something to remember the rest of the week. As infielders tested their arm strength from shortstop, all it took was for that old familiar sting to return to the index finger on my glove hand to figure out that Mike Irvine, Chicago senior, had the best arm of the bunch. To put it mildly, Mike had a rifle for an arm. In fact, Mike could do it all. If anyone is going to make the cut, he's my pick. REDEMPTION That's the beautiful thing about baseball, though; it's a redemptive game. Considering how I'd done warming up, fielding grounders and not forgetting how poorly batting practice had gone for me the week before. I wasn't expecting to do any better at the plate during outouts. First, we took front toss from coach Kevin Tucker in the batting cages. To my surprise, I made consistent, solid contact. My pants didn't fall down, and I didn't injure anyone. I just hit the ball. But before taking batting practice from coach Ritch Price on the field, I took extra swings with Tucker. The blisters on my hand were screaming for me to stop, but I had to be sure I was ready. "Better than I throw," I told them. When I got to the field, Price and coach Kevin Frady were both curious to know how I hit. This was it. If I couldn't even look like a baseball player during batting practice, I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to show my face for the next two days of trouts. Then it came. After taking a few "Base hit at Hoglund Ballpark!" Price said. uneventful backs, i sent a shot to the right-field grass. I can't describe what it felt like to hear Price utter those words. All I can say is it is sweeter than any Vin Scully or Jack Buck play-by-play. I guess I did two things right last week. I played first base, and I hit well during batting practice. On the second and third days, we got to face live pitching. Unfortunately, the pitchers who were trying out didn't throw me any fat ones like Tucker, Price and Frady did. On day two I went up against Zach Gaarner, Troy sophomore. This poor guy had taken so many bad throws from me that I wouldn't have blamed him for planting his first pitch between my shoulder blades. Instead, he fed me a fastball down the middle, and I swung away. Foul tip. Strike one. Then Zach unleashed a breaking ball away, and I laid off. One ball, one strike. I sent the next pitch, another fastball, toward the bullpen down the left-field line. If I were right-handed, it might have intimidated Zach. One ball, two strikes. Determined that I wouldn't go down looking, I went down swinging at a breaking ball in the dirt. On day three I faced Kyle Knutson, Olathe junior, who has one heck of a heater. I've heard Tony Gwynn talk about how he never wanted to know what pitch was coming next. I found out why. >> NFL After I worked a full count against Kyle, coach Ryan Graves told him to throw me a fastball. Even though I knew it was coming — and it came right down the pipe — I went down swinging. But worse things have happened to me during tryouts. As I head into today's scrimimage, I have one goal in mind: Cut loose. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll be in the right place at the right time again. — Edited by Tara Smith Patriots shrug off 'Spygate' scandal punishment BY JIM LITKE ASSOCIATED PRESS Any remaining doubts that Bill Belichick got off easy should have evaporated by the end of the first quarter. It was New England 14, San Diego 0 at that point Sunday night, and it was already apparent things were only going to get worse for the Chargers, and the rest of the NFL from there on out. "What it was, was a trap for us, really," San Diego running back LaDainian Tomlinson said shortly after the Patriots put the finishing touches on a 38-14 win. What he meant was any coach worth his motivational salt, let alone a master manipulator like Belichick, would have no problem lighting a fire under his team after the events of last week. "Spygate" was bulletin-board material, all right, in block letters 4 feet high. "So I wasn't surprised at all by how well they played," Tomlinson summed up. Whether the same can be said for commissioner Roger Goodell is anyone's guess. Like everyone else who follows football, Goodell must have known Belichick and the Patriots' organization were going all-in this season. After winning three Super Bowls in four years, then missing out on the past two, their plan was to win it all now. That's why owner Robert Kraft opened his wallet, trading for Randy Moss. "At times it was challenging," he said referring to his players, "but they stayed focused." That was putting it mildly. Tom Brady connected on 5-ot-0 passes in the Pats' efficient opening drive, presumably without any Right now there seems to be little hope of slowing the Patriots, though 'Spygate' may have legs. signing three other receivers and handing Adalius Thomas $7 million a year. So how much, really, did Goodell think he was going to accomplish by taking away a likely No. 1 draft pick next season (the Patriots have two), fining Belichick $500,000 and the franchise an additional $250,000? Based on scant evidence, even the commissioner would have to conclude: not enough. Belichick acknowledged as much, in his typically cryptic way. New England by intercepting an illadvised pass from San Diego's Philip Rivers and returning it 65 yards for another score. As the clock ticked off the final seconds, Brady, Moss and Thomas joined a long line of New England stalwarts congratulating Belichick like he was the father of the bride. Perhaps the only thing more impressive than the game plan Belichick put together to stymie the Chargers was how thoroughly he masked his satisfaction afterward.

While noting the amount of the fines and likely penalizing New England a No.1 draft pick were "unprecedented," Goodell also reserved the right to pile more punishment on the organization if additional information became available. He also said he expected full cooperation regarding some other materials he requested. Preparation is what Belichick does better than anyone else in the business, and if Goodell wanted to whack the Patriots, that's where he should have aimed his stick and suspended Belichick for a game or two. If reports are true the coach recently signed a contract extension paying him in the $5 million range through 2013, the least effective punishment is hitting him in the wallet. The only way he gets the message is if it costs his team some When someone asked whether this had been one of his most difficult weeks as a coach, Belichick answered with a straight face, "The Chargers are a tough football team. They're not easy to prepare for." Right now there seems to be little hope of slowing the Patriots, though "Spygate" may have legs. Call 1-866-4AF-ROTC or visit AFROTC.COM. "I'm very confident the Patriots are going to abide by the rules," Goodell said in a pregame interview on NBC. "They understand that the consequences could increase." Whispers continue to circulate that New England defensive lineman may have been stealing opponents' radio signals ahead of the snap. That would explain league reports that the Patriots were using more radio frequencies against the Jets than Just one loss could make the difference between the Patriots going on the road during the postseason or playing at home. A loss to the Chargers might have significantly altered the playoff picture, since they're expected to push the Patriots and Colts in the AFC title race despite early season scoring problems. Judging by their performance, Belichick and the Patriots don't seem too worried. games. league rules allow.

FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Two months after cycling's latest rash of doping scandals, the Tour of Missouri played to huge, enthusiastic throngs last week. Bicyclists race through St. Louis streets during the sixth and final stage of the Tour of Missouri bicycle race on Sunday, Ivan Dominguez of Cuba won the stage, but George Hincapie of the United States won the race. Big crowds show up throughout Missouri for the event, despite the southern's recent double scams. It's proof, cycling officials say, that those who have sounded the death knell for the sport after repeated Tour de France woes, went a bit overboard. Thousands of fans lined the streets of St. Louis on Sunday for the final day of the inaugural six-stage race, a scene that had been repeated across the state. "You're just glad to be in the game, and when you see a home run like sprint home in Sunday's concluding 74-mile circuit race in downtown St. Louis. "You can kind of see straight down to the finish and all you can see is people," Hincapie said. "It was really cool to be a part of we've taken a lot of hits lately in the sport and a lot of preemptive calls for the end of cycling." It was nothing like this year's Tour de France, marred by the doping-related dismissal of leader Michael Rasmussen and the absence of 2006 champion Floyd Landis because of doping charges still hanging over his head. SEAN PETTY Chief Operating Officer USA Cycling this in the first year, it takes your breath away," said Sean Petty, chief operating officer for USA Cycling. "We've taken a lot of hits lately in the sport and a lot of pre-emptive calls for the end of cycling. Participants were grateful to the fans. "I got choked up with the initial reception in Kansas City, and every day since we left Kansas City the crowds were stunning." George Hincapie, who won the individual title in the last U.S. race by juggernaut team Discovery Channel before its disbanding, was struck by the sea of humanity that greeted riders as they began the final downhill "Really, the whole week the crowd has been super enthusiastic, always 'Thanks for coming to Missouri' and that." The turnout in other Missouri cities also was impressive. guys aren't used to that," Hincapie said. Overall runner-up William Frischkorn of Team Slipstream-Chiptele, expected to succeed Discovery Channel as the dominant U.S. cycling team, said every day was a pleasant surprise. Team Slipstream finished ahead of Discovery Channel for the team title. "The roads have been beautiful, and the crowds have been huge," Frischkorn said. "Hopefully we can come back next year and many years to come." Missouri's hope is to be part of an annual U.S. triple crown in cycling, along with races in Georgia and California. Gov. Matt Blunt became a huge supporter after one particularly persuasive letter from a friend in southwest Missouri, giving Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder free rein, and plenty of corporate sponsors followed. "Pretty quickly we decided this was something we wanted to embrace." Blunt said. The final day was successful despite tough competition for the attention of sports fans. The start-finish line outside Union Station was blocks away from both a Cubs-Cardinals game and a 49ers-Rams game, which together u the Blues playe season game about an hour after the race ended. together drew 110,000 fans.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Jae C, Hong/ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS — An apparent audiotape of O.J. Simpson's standoff with men he accused of stealing his memorabilia begins with the ex-NFL star demanding, "Don't let nobody out of here." Former NFL player O.J. Simpson, right, is transferred to the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas on Sunday. A prosecutor in Las Vegas said O.J. Simpson "is facing a lot of time" in connection with an alleged armed robbery. Plans are to charge him with several felonies, including two counts of robbery with use of a deadly weapon, which could carry a maximum 35 years each. "Think you can steal my shit and sell it?" the voice identified as Simpson's said. Simpson was arrested Sunday and booked on charges connected with what police described as a robbery at a Las Vegas hotel. In the audiotape released Monday by the celebrity news Web site TMZ. com, a man believed to be Simpson is heard shouting questions while other men yell orders to the people in the room. The recording was made by Thomas Riccio, co-owner of the auction house Universal Rarities, according to TMZ. Simpson said Riccio called him several weeks ago to tell him collectors were selling some of his items. Riccio did not immediately return a call for comment Monday, but he told TMZ he believed Simpson was planning to confront Alfred Beardsley, who was allegedly planning to auction off the memorabilia. Another collector in the hotel room, Bruce Fromong, said the meeting was set up as if the men were customers, but when they arrived, it was clear something else was going on. "The door burst open and they came in almost commando style, O. J. Simpson and some of his people, I guess you would call it, with guns drawn," Fromong told ABC's "Good Morning America" Monday. "O.J. at that time was saying, 'I want my stuff. I want my stuff." Fromong said Simpson later left him a voice mail message telling him some of Fromong's things were "mixed up" with his and asking how he could give them back. "It's like a bad dream," Beardsley said. "I'm sad that O.J. is in custody." Simpson said he was accompanied by men he met at a wedding cocktail party, and that they took the collectibles. It was merely a confrontation with no guns, Simpson said. He said autographed sports collectibles, his Hall of Fame certificate, a photograph with former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and video from his first wedding were all his, and that they were stolen from him and were about to be fenced by unethical collectors. "Whether or not the property belonged to Mr. Simpson or not is still in debate," Lt. Clint Nichols said Sunday. "Having said that, the manner in which this property was taken, we have a responsibility to look into that, irreardless of who the property belonged to." After being whisked away in handcuffs, Simpson was booked Sunday night on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy to commit a crime and burglary with a firearm, police said. The district attorney said he expected Simpson to ultimately be charged with seven felonies and one gross misdemeanor. If convicted, "The thing in my mind as soon as I saw him, I'm thinking, 'O.J. how can you be this dumb? You're in enough trouble." Simpson could face as many as 30 years in prison on each robbery count. BRUCE FROMONG Sports memorabilia collector "The thing in my mind as soon as I saw him, I'm thinking, 'O.J., how can you be this dumb? You're in enough trouble.'" A judge ordered Simpson held without bail. Las Vegas court information officer Michael Sommermeyer said Simpson's arraignment was set for Wednesday, with a bail hearing to be held after that. Simpson attorney Yale Galanter said Monday he hoped to get Simpson released before then. "Mr. Simpson is not guilty of these charges," Galanter said. He declined to say whether he had met with police and prosecutors. "We believe it is an extremely defensible case based on conflicting witness statements, flip-flopping by witnesses and witnesses making deals with the government to flip," Galanter said Sunday. Simpson, 60, told the AP that he didn't call the police to help reclaim the items because he has found the police unresponsive to him ever since his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were killed in 1994. Simpson was acquitted of murder charges but found liable in a wrongful death civil trial. "The police, since my trouble, have not worked out for me," Simpson said. Police said they had no information to indicate Simpson was armed during the hotel confrontation last week. Fromong also said Simpson was unarmed: "Never at any time was I ever, did I feel threatened by O.I." he said. Police seized two firearms believed to involve in the robbery along with sports memorabilia, mostly signed by Simpson. No stopping you now.

FORTUNE 100 BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR 2007 Audit Tax Transaction Advisory Services ERNST&YOUNG MLB The son of a Long Island potato farmer was too wrapped up in the tight 1967 pennant race, strange territory for a Red Sox team that finished ninth in the AL the previous two seasons. So when he turned to an inside page of his Monday paper — the headline about Bostons first pennant in 21 years was on Page 1 — he saw the news: Yaz wins Triple Crown. Quality In Everything We Do BOSTON — Carl Yastrzemski didn't know he made history until he read about it in the newspaper the next day. "I had no reaction," he says now, 40 years later. "I was ecstatic about the World Series and the pennant." Only 10 players have won the Triple Crown. Ted Williams and Rogers Hornsby did it twice. Mickey Mantle won it in 1956 and Frank Robinson in 1966. With each passing season, the scope of his accomplishment grows. Through those 40 years not one player has combined the power and productivity to match his feat — leading the league in homers, RBIs and batting average. "The combination of all three, it's hard to do," Rodriguez said. "Usually, guys that are thumpers for power hit .260, .270. Usually guys that are .330, .340, those guys hit 10 or 12 home runs." Yaz reflects on Triple Crown sees potential for A-Rod Alex Rodriguez has topped the AL in all three categories, but never in the same year. The same with Barry Bonds in the NL. David Ortiz was first in the AL in homers and RBIs last season, but hit just .287. ASSOCIATED PRESS Willie Mays? Hank Aaron? Never. With fewer than two weeks left in this season, A-Rod is a shoo-in for the AL home run and RBI titles but has no shot at the batting crown. Babe Ruth? Close. He led the AL in batting average and homers in 1924 but was second in RBIs with 121, eight behind Goose Goslin. That's Yaz the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 1989? Gosmin. How about the minor league infielder who switched to left field to replace Williams but who hit only .266 as a rookie in 1961 before making the Hall of Fame. And he's proud of what he did. The mound was higher, making pitchers more dominant but not affecting Yastrzemski as much because he was a good hitter of fastballs thrown over the top. "Oh, without a doubt. Forty years is a long time," he said. "If we didn't have that intense pennant race and I thought about winning the Triple Crown, I probably wouldn't have won it. When you think about hitting a home run, you usually don't do it." Baseball is a different game today from the one in 1967. There are 30 teams instead of 20. The designated hitter adds a batter to the lineup, often a slugger. Strike zones were larger, favoring batters like Yastrzemski, who could hit a variety of pitches. KEN HARRELSON Chicago White Sox broadcaster © 2007 ERIST & YOUNG LLP "The best clutch hitter I've ever seen in my life is Yastrzemski. He was just phenomenal." "I had no awareness whatsoever" of the Triple Crown, he said. "I was so focused on beating Minnesota those two games." Yastrzemski hit 326 for his second batting crown, tied Harmon Killebrew of Minnesota with 44 homers — each connected in the next-to-last game but Killebrew walked 40 more times that season — and drove in 121 runs. The Red Sox achieved "The Impossible Dream," the name given to their pennant quest, but lost the World Series in seven games to St. Louis. "He's still the best left fielder I've ever seen," said Ken Harrelson, a teammate in 1967 and now a Chicago White Sox broadcaster. "I call him 'The Renaissance Man' because he was definitely the renaissance of baseball in New England." That summer, Tom Werner arrived in Cambridge around Labor Day for his freshman year at Harvard. Now a Red Sox owner, he listened to the last two regular-season games on radio. The Red Sox began that Saturday a game behind Minnesota then beat the Twins twice. But there was still a chance they would face a onegame playoff with Detroit. But the Tigers lost the second game of a doubleheader later that Sunday in Anaheim. And he could do so much more. Besides the Triple Crown, he led the AL in runs, hits and total bases. He won a Gold Glove and made the Red Sox winners after eight straight seasons with losing records and poor attendance. Yastrzemski went 7-for-8 in those two games. "I could hit the high fastball," he said. "If there was one situation that you could pick anyone at anytime to bat for you, I would pick Yaz in '67," said Werner, who sneaked into one of the World Series games with his college roommate. Harrelson had a much better view of the two games against Minnesota — from the on-deck circle as the cleanup bitter. Ten days after Tony Conigliaro was beaned on Aug. 18. Boston signed him following his release by the Kansas City Athletics. "I played nine years in the big leagues," Harrelson said. "I've broadcast over 4,000 games. The best clutch hitter I've ever seen in my life is Yastrzemski. He was just phenomenal." The player Yastrzemski thinks can be the next Triple Crown winner, Rodriguez, is in the seventh season of a $252 million, 10-year contract. "I'm a big fan of Carl," he said. "That's very humbling." He and Yastrzemski belong to the same golf club in Boca Raton, Fla. But just as Yaz was in the dark the day of his amazing achievement, Rodriguez didn't know just how long ago it was. "Sixty-seven. Forty years ago, MVP. Triple Crown," A-Rod said.

PHILADELPHIA - If Jason Campbell becomes a star in the NFL,he might pinpoint Monday night's win as the start of something great. Showing the poise of a veteran, the third-year quarterback in his ninth pro start converted several big plays and got plenty of help from Clinton Portis, Chris Cooley and an opportunistic defense in Washington's 20-12 victory over the Eagles. The surprising Redskins, coming off a 5-11 season, are 2-0 and tied with Dallas atop the NFC East, which Philadelphia was expected to dominate. But the Eagles are 0-2 and their offense, other than the dynamic Brian Westbrook, has been far too spotty. Portiis and Cooley each scored touchdowns and Shaun Suisham made two field goals. Washington's defense stymied every Eagle except Westbrook, who rushed for 96 yards and caught eight passes for another 66 yards. Westbrook's work wasn't enough to get Philadelphia into the end zone, however, as an array of blitzes and some hard hitting by the Redskins' secondary kept Donovan McNabb off-balance much of the night. McNabb has lost six of his last seven starts and is 9-12 since the Eagles lost the Super Bowl to New England in January 2005. Campbell didn't have gaudy statistics, either, but he kept the Redskins on the move when it counted with sharp passes and timely third-down conversions. 52 56 69 4 Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook, center, breaks a tackle and leaves a pack of Washington Redskins defensemen behind as he runs for a first down during the first half Monday in. ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB Diamondbacks win despite mustering few hits Dodgers 7 Dodgers 1 Los Angeles Dodgers players Andy LaRoche, left, and James Loney almost collide as Loney catches a pop fly hit by the Arizona Diamondbacks' Justin Upton in the first inning of a baseball game in Los Angeles on Sunday. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS The Diamondbacks were outit again, but these days that's hardly surprising. That they won anyway is even less of a shock. Edgar Gonzalez pitched five solid innings and the Arizona bullpen scraped together four more, making Chris Snyder's three-run homer stand up in a 6-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. The D-backs, who had six hits to the Dodgers' "This was as close to a must-win game as we've had all year." nine, lead the National League West by two games over San Diego with two weeks to go despite being outscored 680-655 and having an NLlow.247 batting average. "We have to keep grinding," Snyder said. "We're in first place, but in no way is it a lock." out 10 and winning his 19th game to the Padres beat San Francisco 5-1. San Diego leads the wild-card race by 1½ games over Philadelphia and 2½ out of the Dodgers. Jake Peavy lowered his major league-leading ERA to 2.39, striking The Philies beat New York 10-6 to slice the Mets' NEL East lead to "That's it. Was it a must-win? No. But this was huge — a really big win for us. Every game from here on out is this way until we clinch." "This was as close to a must-win game as we've had all year," Arizona outfielder Eric Bryant said. In other NL games, it was Chicago 4, St. Louis 2; Milwaukee 5; Cincinnati 2; Colorado 13, Florida 0; Atlanta 3, Washington 0; and Houston 15, Pittsburgh 3. The Diamondbacks, 46-29 at Chase Field, play their final six home games of the season this week three against the Giants and three against the Dodgers. Then, they finish with three at Pittsburgh and another three at Colorado. "I like the fact that were going back home," manager Bob Melvin said. "We play well at home." Gonzalez (8-2) was lifted for a pinch-hitter after yielding one run and six hits in just his second start since June 26. "He pitched great — he gave us five innings," Melvin said. "That's all we could ask. You look at his record, it's pretty indicative of how he's pitched for us." Snyder's homer in the second was the only hit allowed by Esteban Loaiza (1-2), who walked a career-high seven in 4 2-3 innings. Mark Reynolds and Stephen Drew walked to start the inning and one out later, Snyder hit a liner that glanced off the top of the fence in left-center and into the pavilion for his 13th homer. "I thought I hit it in the gap" Snyder said. Loaiza didn't think it would clear the fence either, saying the homer came "on a perfect pitch — a cutter low and away."

Royals can't recover from huge White Sox fifth, lose 11-3 ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. Jermaine Dye, Danny Richar and Josh Fields homered in an 11-run fifth inning as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 11-3 on Monday night. Chicago, which sent 14 men to the plate, had its biggest inning since an 11-run third at St. Louis on June 20 last year. It was the most runs in an inning off Kansas City since an 11-run first at Cleveland on Aug. 13 last year. Richar also tripled during the inning, which included two doubles, four singles, one intentional walk and two wild pitches. Darin Erstad grounded out twice for two of the outs. Kansas City led 2-0 before Kyle Davies gave up Richar's leadoff homer, Fields' two-run double and Dye's three-run homer, which put Chicago ahead 6-2. Brandon Duckworth allowed Juan Uribe's RBI double, Richar's run-scoring triple, Alex Cintron's sacrifice fly and Fields' two-run homer. White Sox right-hander Javier Vazquez (13-8) worked eight innings and struck out a season-high 13, one shy of his career high, while allowing two runs and five hits without a walk. He retired 21 of the last 23 batters he faced after Alex Gordon homered in the second. Every starter but Darin Erstad had a hit for the White Sox, who piled up 15. Cintron and Richar each had three hits. Davies (2-6) allowed only two hits and no runs through the first four innings before Chicago got into a groove. He ended up allowing six runs and seven hits while walking three and striking out four to lose for the sixth time in seven starts. Brandon Duckworth, who replaced Davies, faced seven White Sox and five of them scored in two-thirds of an inning. He threw two wild pitches and gave up five hits, including Fields' 20th home run, which leads all American League rookies. The Royals lost for the 10th time in 12 games and fell a half-game behind the White Sox and into last place in the AL Central.

The traffic? Louis leuwed through it like a "Proger" expert on his bike. The four-way stop at jayhawk Boulevard and Sunflower Drive was no trouble for Louis; he rode right through it. But the police car was trouble. The officer turned on his lights, pulled the Bentonville, Ark., junior over and gave him a It's likely many members of the biking community would agree with Lewis.

JOHN LOUIS Bentonville, Ark., junior $120 ticket. He was late for the test. Police officers issue $120 tickets for bike riders who don't stop at campus stop signs, the same amount they charge drivers. According to the KU Public Safety Office, KU Police has ticketed at least 10 bike riders in 2007, up from four in 2005. Captain Schuyler Bailey said that number could be even higher because some violations are likely filed as vehicles. "Lawrence and KU advocate alternative transportation," Louis d, "and then they pull stuff like it? That's no way to do it. I feel Louis said he understood that they pulled people over for safety reasons. He just wonders why they have to charge $120 for the violation.

"Cars aren't always watching you but as long as you keep your eyes open you're fine." go through the stop sign without hesitation. Lewis estimated that more than 60 percent ofriders go through stop signs. said it's a major safety issue. Still, KU Police officers don't pull cyclists over just to make them late for tests.

Edited by Luke Morris Group concerned with global warming, pollution The 2020 Vision campus group, which aims to reduce oil consumption, is tabling on Wescoe Beach this week to promote their campaign against two coal-based plants that Sunflower Electric Power Corporation wants to build in Holcomb, Kan., because of the amount of pollution the plants would release. The group is having students sign postcards that they will send to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who will be making a final decision on the issue at the end of the month. There has been controversy over the issue for some time, because the plants would bring jobs and money to the growing area of Holcomb. Environmental groups working against Sunflower Electric feel that the plants will add to global warming, and should not be built. FULL STORY PAGE 3A 》CONSTRUCTION Three projects start 5-year maintenance plan Three construction projects at Wescoe Hall, Haworth Hall and the underground utility tunnels are moving into the first stages of design, and construction is set to begin later this year. These projects are part of a $38 million legislation law that was created this year, and the projects at the University of Kansas will total around $9,951,000. These three projects are part of a five-year plan to work on deferred maintenance project, and the first year of the plan was approved to begin in August. Wescoe Hall will be getting 11 or 12 new classrooms with media capabilities as well as offices on the first floor, and will replace the heating and cooling system on the second and third floors. Construction on the underground utility tunnel, which connects vital utility services to 50 campus buildings, will improve the infrastructure of the University. Construction at Haworth Hall will replace chemical fume hoods and the current air handlers.

In the final months of his yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer, Pavaroti made two wills, said attorney Giorgio Bernini, who represents the singer's second wife. One dated June 13 divides up his assets according to Italian law, with half going to his wife, Nicoletta Mantovani, and half to his children. The second; dated July 29, elaborates on the first and concerns the tenor's U.S. holdings, which he entrusted to Mantovani, Bernini said. Interest in Pavarott's will has mounted in the days since his Sept. 6 death at age 71 amid reports that his three adult daughters from his first marriage were squabbling with Mantovani, and that there had been a "crisis" in their marriage. The reports prompted Pavarotti's three adult daughters to write a letter, which one of them read on television last week, denouncing speculation about "purported bickering, phantasmagoric wealth, last wills and testaments that we don't know anything about." " Luciano Pavarotti now has his chance to speak out, contrary The wills were made public this week after Mantovani's lawyers formally requested that they be opened. The Associated Press confirmed the personal and ugly campaign against his wife." "Contrary to media reports and rumors, he did not change his will to the detriment of his second wife." to media reports and rumors, he did not change his will to the detriment of his second wife," Pavarotti's manager, Terri Robson, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. TERRI ROBSON Luciano Pavarotti's manager She called the reports, which quoted friends of the late tenor, "a very contents of the documents in interviews with Mantovani's lawyer. Bernini said that according to the June 13 will, half of Pavarotti's estate will go to Mantovani, and half will go to the daughters, each of whom get an equal, one-quarter share. "The Maestro's concern has always been not to treat his daughters differently." Bernini said. Two of Pavarotti's friends will get $693,350 each "for their affection and loyal assistance," Bernini said in a telephone interview, quoting from the will. Italian news reports have identified the two as Pavarotti's assistant, Edwin Tinoco and his companion Veronica Zeggio. The lawyer declined to give details on the overall value of Pavarotti's estate. It also wasn't clear how Pavarotti's commercial interests, including royalties from sales of his music, have been handled. Italian media reports have valued the estate at some $275 million; Bernini said such figures were exaggerated and that the tenor had no hidden "treasure" as some reports have also suggested. Bernini said the second testament was essentially an addendum to the first, entrusting to Mantovani the management of three apartments in New York City's Hampshire House on Central Park South.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. 2007. NEWS 3A > CONSTRUCTION Campus faces future changes Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Projects quieter more convenient Further construction begins in Wescoe January 2008. Legislators allotted $38 million this year to the six state universities for deferred maintenance. BY COURTNEY CONDRON ccondron@kansan.com University Design and Construction Management is developing initial design plans for three construction projects set to begin later this year at Wescoe Hall, Haworth Hall and the underground utility tunnels. The projects are part of a $38 million legislation signed into law this year for deferred maintenance at the six state universities. The University of Kansas has developed a five-year plan for these projects, totalling $9,951,000. The first year of construction was approved in August, and University officials have since been working with architectural companies on designs. University of Kansas Medical Center will also begin nine projects totalling $3,634,500. Mark Reiske, associate director of Design and Construction Management, said that the order these projects are being completed coincided with the list of priorities the University gave to the state. "We are now trying to move back down that list little by little," Reiske said. After completing the terrace infill in Wescoe this summer, new construction on the first floor will start in January and is set to be completed in August 2008. Steven Scannell, assistant director of design and construction management and project manager for the Wescoe construction, said there will be 11 or 12 classrooms added with enhanced media capabilities and new offices for the department of classics. "Before, that area was just a terrible, depressing environment for faculty and students," Scannell said. "It's going to look like a whole new building in that area, with windows to get some outside lighting and larger rooms with better equipment." Construction on the third floor of Wescoe is planned for the summer and fall of 2008. The second floor will be worked on during the spring and summer of 2009. All professors with offices on these floors will be moved before construction, but Scannell said they hope to only move people for less than a year. In this area they will be replacing duct work, to help the heating and cooling, and will be replacing mechanical equipment with energy efficient equipment. "It will improve the indoor air quality and comfort level of these floors." Scannell said. that the construction would affect students since classrooms on the fourth floor would remain in operation. He also said they would try to do noisier work during the evening. Scannell said he didn't think Callie Coco, a Downs junior, said that she is getting a little tired of the construction across campus. "I think they need to finish one project before they start another," Coco said. Reiske said the construction wouldn't interfere with classes as much as it did last year because workers wouldn't be directly under classrooms and lecture halls. Stephen Evans, a lecturer in the department of English, will be one of the professors moved from his office before construction on the third floor. "It has to be done. The building needs to be renovated and remodeled," Evans said. "It's something we have to suffer through to get to some good results." In addition to construction at Wescoe, Reiske said he anticipated construction on the utility tunnels to begin during the spring, which would help the infrastructure of the University. This is a multi-year project and the most expensive of the three, costing $6 million. The campus has more than 16,000 feet of tunnel underneath the ground that connects vital utility systems to about 50 buildings. "If we have an old tunnel that has problems, then if something collapses, it would take down power, telecommunications and steam routes," Reiske said. "Students won't sit in a new room or see the benefits, but it's definitely important." The University has the department of engineering working on plans for Haworth Hall and will be taking bids from construction companies after the first of the year. Haworth Hall will have about 20 chemical fume hoods replaced in research and biology labs, and will also have air handlers replaced. "We will have more reliable, more maintainable air handlers, which will definitely benefit students." Reiske said. According to the Board of Regents, the five-year maintenance plan would provide $90 million in funding from the state overall and could allow the state universities to cover approximately 38 percent of the total deferred maintenance at these universities. "Right now construction has been very busy, and it doesn't look like it's slowing down," Reiske said. Edited by Rachael Gray 》 ACTIVISM Group pushes for alternative energy use BY COURTNEY CONDRON ccondron@kansan.com The 2020 Vision campus group, which aims to reduce America's oil consumption, is tabling on Wescoe Beach this week in response to Sunflower Electric Power Corporation's controversial plan to build two new coal-based power plants at Holcomb Station in Holcomb, Kan. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is supposed to make a final decision on the project by the end of the month. If approved, the plants would bring jobs and money to the western Kansas town and provide power to several different states. Quinton Cheney, Fort Scott senior and member of 2020 Vision, said, the group was worried about the amount of pollution the plants would release. "We are pushing for it not to be built, but also be careful but use more them to look at alternative energy methods such as wind power, because Holcomb is one of the windiest areas in the country," Cheney said. The group, which is sitting at an information table from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. each day this week, is having students sign postcards that will be sent to Gov. Sebelius. Other universities, schools, businesses and organizations are also participating. As of Tuesday, the group already had between 150 and 200 postcards signed. said he knew this was not a simple decision and that there are a lot of things to consider. "We know this is a little something, but hopefully if Sebelius sees that this is what the people who she represents want, it will help," Ryan said. Margaret Tran, Derby sophomore and president of 2020 Vision, said, this is not a local issue. If the plants are built, they will contribute to global warming. However, some citizens of Holcomb, including Morgan Terry, a Holcomb senior, think the plants are a large step to the growing town. "Not only is it providing power, but as the second plant is built it is providing jobs for people moving in," Terry said. "I think with everything it will have its positives and negatives, but those obstacles will be worked through as time goes by." According to 2020 Vision, less than 15 percent of Sunflower's electricity would benefit Kansas, because most would go to other states. They also said that the coal-based plants would release 10 million tons of carbon dioxide and 11 million pounds Rob Ryan, Kansas City. Kan. senior and member of 2020 Vision.

John Kerry, (D-Mass.) on Monday, in Gainesville, Fla. Meyer, 21, was Tasered and arrested after he angrily and repeatedly tried to ask Kerry about the 2004 election and other subjects during a campus forum. BY TRAVIS REED ASSOCIATED PRESS GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The University of Florida asked state investigators Tuesday to review campus officers' use of a Taser during a forum with Sen. John Kerry, on a persistent questioner who is known for posting practical jokes online. Video of Monday's takedown of the 21-year-old student was replayed extensively on TV and the Internet. University President Bernie Machen called the confrontation "regretful" and said two officers were placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the probe. The student, Andrew Meyer, spent a night in jail before his release Tuesday morning. He had no comment when he left. His attorney, Robert Gristi, said he may speak with reporters later but had no immediate comment. Some Florida students reacted angrily to the arrest, planning protests and possible sit-ins against alleged police brutality. University police said in a news release that officers had been summoned by the forum's sponsors to escort Meyer from the building. They added that Meyer was Tasered because he resisted when officers attempted place him in handcuffs. Meyer, a senior telecommunications major from Weston, Fla., has a Web site that contains several comedy videos that he appears in. In one, he stands in a street with a sign that says "Harry Dies" after the latest Harry Potter book was released. In another, he acts like a drunk in a bar while trying to pick up a man dressed in drag. The man later appears as an attractive blonde as Meyer gets more intoxicated. The site also has what is called a "disorganized diatribe" attributed to Meyer that criticizes the Iraq war, the news media for not covering the conflict enough and the American public for paying too much attention to celebrity news. Another site had pictures of Meyer making a suggestive pose as he stood behind a fake cow. The site listed his activities as "getting wasted" and "being ridiculous." Machen, asked if the university had any previous conflicts with Meyer, said some issues would come up in the investigation, but he declined to elaborate and would not say whether he thought the latest episode was a prank. Various videos of the arrest had been viewed more than 400,000 times on YouTube as of Tuesday afternoon. Monday's scuffle started when Meyer refused to leave the microphone after his allotted time was up, police said. He had asked Kerry about impeaching President Bush, why he didn't challenge the 2004 election results and whether he and Bush were members of the secret society Skull and Bones at Yale University. Kerry, D-Mass., said Tuesday he regretted that a healthy discussion was interrupted, and said he never had a dialogue end that way in 37 years of public appearances. "Whatever happened, the police had a reason, had made their decision that there was something they needed to do. Then it's a law enforcement issue, not mine," he told The Associated Press in Washington. After Meyer repeatedly and loudly refused to walk away, officers came to escort him out. As two officers take Meyer by the arms, Kerry can be heard saying, "That's all right, let me answer his question." Audience members applauded, though it was difficult to tell whether it was for the officers' action or Kerry's remark. The audience for the most part sat quietly and watched the fracas. Meyer struggled for several seconds as up to four officers tried to remove him from the room. He screamed for help and tried to break away from officers with his arms flailing at them, then was forced to the ground and ordered to stop resisting. As Kerry told the audience he will answer the student's "very important question," Meyer yelled at the officers to release him, crying out, "Don't Tase me, bro" just before he was shocked. He was led from the room, screaming, "What did I do?" Meyer's grandmother, Lucy Meyer of Pembroke Pines, told The Miami Herald that he is a hardworking student with no prior run-ins with the law. 》 COURTS Maryland court upholds marriage law BY BEN NUCKOLS ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Maryland's highest court on Tuesday upheld a state law defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman, ending a lawsuit filed by same-sex couples who claimed they were being denied equal protection under the law. Maryland's 1973 ban on gay marriage does not discriminate on the basis of gender and does not deny any fundamental rights, the Court of Appeals ruled in a 4-3 decision. It also said the state has a legitimate interest in promoting opposite-sex marriage. "Our opinion should by no means be read to imply that the General Assembly may not grant and recognize for homosexual persons civil unions or the right to marry a person of the same sex," Judge Glenn T. Harrell Jr. wrote for Plaintiffs said that the judges missed a historic opportunity to strike down a discriminatory law, and that they would continue the fight in the Legislature. Legislators on recognize that the constitution is there to support the people, is to create an ignorant and irrelevant solution." State Sen. Richard Maladena, who is openly gay, said he plans to introduce a bill to allow same-sex marriage. He also expects a proposal to create civil unions. "I think we'll have a lengthy discussion next session about what the options are for legal recognition for gay people," Madaleno said. Don Dwyer, one of the General Assembly's most conservative members, said he would introduce a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage as "insurance." The ACLU of Maryland, which provided legal representation for the plaintiffs, said the fight to legalize gay marriage in Maryland would continue. Many of the plaintiffs have children, and they argue that their families are being denied. the stability and legal protection that comes from having married parents. "I think we'll have a lengthy discussion next session about what the options are for legal recognition for gay people." RICHARD MADALENO State senator both sides of the debate predicted action on the issue in the next session. "I think history will hold them in contempt," plaintiff Lisa Polyak said of the judges.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2007 PAGE 7 BURGERTIMES Lessons can be learned from religious evangelists An experience with proselytizers distributing pamphlets is eye-opening as much as off-putting JACOB MUSELMANN That day, a small throng of people of this caliber came my way. A small girl in front said, "Can I offer you a smile?" referring to the smiley-covered pamphlet in her hand. She was dressed like a doll, and fashioned her voice in a similar manner. The whole experience was chilling. I don't typically enjoy chilling experiences when I'm not the one initiating it, nor do I anticipate it during my grocery shopping (unless it's a fruit cup I'm feeling). Just the other day I was walking downtown to get a loaf of bread when something caught my eye. I noticed an extreme evangelism project underway. Later I learned it was orchestrated by Heritage Baptist Church, and is usual for the summer months. I remember seeing this sort of thing last time I was downtown, too. They are easy to spot, usually from the corner of my eye. Groups of people walking conspicuously to intercept you, usually dressed nice. I was approached at least twice more before I bothered to take a pamphlet, this one strikingly more patriotic-looking. One doesn't even need to open it to know what's inside, and yet it is treated as if it's new information. We are not un-Christian because we simply don't know. Later I was talking with another member, and it wasn't long before he pulled out his Bible—wrought with highlight, markings and notes. I remember those days. DRAWING BOARD I didn't exactly mind what they were doing that evening; it was the fact that I was involuntarily bothered by it that was troubling. Sometimes I have enough on my plate talking to classmates, participating in class and even talking to the people I know and like. It's enough. Just as with people distributing fliers on campus, my deliberate ignorance or look of displeasure should be interpreted as such. While I appreciate the general concern for my eternal well-being, I would also appreciate the respect for my present status (i.e. annoyance, boredom, etc.). There I met with the evangelical from before. He said the group (I counted about 30) comes sporadically each month. "The end times are coming," he said, "within the next 20 years—a guess." Up until that point, I had yet to see the spectacle at 11th and Massachusetts, where the mission culminated. There were large signs, a few didactic members capitalizing on their chance to be the preacher and a choir assembled before the few passerby that chose not to change their route. Several people stopped to take pictures, and there was a general sense of initial concern followed by amusement of those dining outside. After this went on for some time, they got on a bus and set up again at 8th Street. The whole thing was offputting and at the same time interesting to me. I thought again about my bread and subsequently getting some wine to go with it, given the spirit of the whole ordeal. "People think the Bible is symbolic, like a big allegory. But it's not. It's all literal," the man said. I asked how he knew; his response was equally frank: "What else could we place our hope in?" I was wondering just the same.

MAX RINKE NOT SO ANGELIC Hate crimes still a reality in America A recent racially-motivated offense is a reminder that bigoted attitudes still exist ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The possible motivations for the brutal rape and assault recently inflicted on an African-American West Virginian woman reminded me of when I was in 6th grade and had emailed Sen. Sam Brownback. Remember that school year from 1998-99? "Can't Hardly Wait," "The Matrix" and "Idle Hands" all hit the big screen. Diddy was Puff Daddy, N'Sync debuted and The Nenakaded Ladies had that annoying song, "One Week." The first mass school shooting, at Columbine, as well as the murder of openly gay college student Matthew Shepherd, occurred that year. One night that year I was watching an MTV News special about hate crimes, and during so many hours of the special, these minute or so long summaries of hate crimes would randomly appear. It would state what the crime or incident was, where it happened and the ages of the victim(s). Within an hour, I saw at least one hundred incidents in which people were targeted for everything from nationality to sexual preference, and age was never a factor. Some of the rats of the acts that were committed were almost unimaginable. However, this special occurred following Matthew Shepard's death, which made the crimes all the more plausible. I was around 10 or 11 and remember feeling scared when some of the victims in the summaries were about my age. I kept thinking to myself, if people can do that to those innocent kids, what stops something from happening to me? Those are disturbing thoughts for a 10-year-old who is supposed to be worried about recess and that upcoming history test, but the constant thought that I was one of a handful of Mexican-Americans in my elementary school was also always present. Following Shepherd's death, his mom and many organizations were fighting for Congress to pass a hate crimes bill. A hate crimes law was passed in 2000. An act known as the Matthew Shepherd Act, which will be an addition to the bill, will include crimes against homosexuals. It is currently waiting Congress' approval. During the news special, it gave the senators' e-mail address so that you could voice your opinions, and I did. I expressed to Sen. Brownback that the thought that my nationality alone putting me in danger was a punch in the stomach, I've always been damn proud to be Mexican. It is like when you're a child, and your parents and teachers badger you to instill those rules that are "to help keep you safe." Don't talk to strangers, don't take rides from strangers, don't open the door to strangers and so on. The reason, at the age of 10, that I felt we needed a hate crimes law was because there was nothing I would be able to do to protect myself from something like that happening. I'm 20 years old now, and the issue of hate crimes floats around in my head almost every day. Perhaps it's because "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" is my favorite TV show, or because I constantly allow my mind to drift back to that day ten years ago when I first heard the term 'hate crimes.' Maybe it should be attributed to the fact that we have a crazed world where people do and say some unfathomable things to each other every day. For instance, I grew up seeing Fred Phelps on street corners and at parades protesting against homosexuals and anyone else who "God didn't love" that day. Well, the verdict is in guilty on all three counts. The violence we are constantly exposed to in the news, along with many other things I encounter daily, take me back to that day. The woman was 20 years old and knew her attackers. Being a petite girl, I still play by those safety rules. Yet, similar to ten years ago, I'm still fearful of those things I can't protect myself from. McNaughton ts a Topeka junior in journalism.

Daldorph will meet with all of the Humanities Lecture Series speakers. Hall Center names first scholar BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com Last year Brenna Daldorph didn't plan on being so involved at the Hall Center for the Humanities. But her hard work during the past year paid off. Daldorph, Lawrence sophomore, has been named the first Hall Center Scholar and received a $500 stipend. She will also get to meet and greet speakers and have lunches and dinners with them when they come to give a lecture. Daldorph's first experience with the Hall Center came at a lunchon last fall when Andrei Codrescu, a poet and commentator for National Public Radio, was the evening's guest speaker. She enjoyed meeting Codrescu, and has worked for the Hall Center since then. "It's really fantastic," she said. "The Hall Center brings in some incredible people." Jasonne Grabher, associate director of the Hall Center for the Humanities, said Daldorph has made a favorable impression on the speakers and those who work with her. "Brenna is fantastic," Grabber said. "Her enthusiasm and endless curiosity are infections. She is exactly the kind of student we want to interact with our Humanities Lecture Series speakers" The Hall Center Scholar program is funded through donations to the Friends of the Hall Center and is open to undergraduate students who demonstrate academic success as well as community involvement. And Daldorph, who is majoring in journalism and international studies working on a minor in French, had strong credentials. Dalderph is a National Merit Scholar and Chancellors Club Scholar. She is also a member of the University Honors Program. She said attending an Ivy League school such as Harvard or Yale was never really an option. "KU is an absolutely fantastic place," Daldorp said. While at the University, she has taken an interest in African studies and in the spring she traveled to New York City and studied the Jewish community in the Lower East Side, which was built by immigrants. "That was an eye-opening experience," she said. This summer Daldorp began doing research for the University's Honors Research Development Program. She said she did some preliminary research on oral history in Shalom Village in Kansas City, Kan., which is made up of elderly Jewish people. Daldorf said she studied how the community told ghost stories. And in the spring Daldorf will study abroad in France. She will live with a host family, and she said she wanted to continue developing her French-speaking skills. In the immediate future, Daldorph said she wanted to focus on her studies and she enjoyed hanging out with friends. Her father, Brian Daldorph, is an assistant English professor at the University. He said his daughter always lived life to the fullest. "I think she's the sort of person who wants the best for every moment in her life, not just academically but also personally," her father said. He said as Brenna continued with her schooling he wanted her to be tested in whatever career path she chose. "I'd like her to be happy in her studies and challenged by them," he said. "But I think she can work in a lot of different areas." —Edited by Luke Morris MUSICIAN Songwriter balances school, music Nick West draws inspiration from campus scenery on EP BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com The music business isn't exactly a piece of cake, especially finding success in college. Nick West Maciag, Plano Texas, senior is a full-time student majoring in economics. He also aspires to have a career as a singer-songwriter. Maciag who goes by the stage name "Nick West," is said West's ability to use his Lawrence surroundings for music inspiration was what made him a great artist. Maciag hadn't heard of the University until a friend suggested he consider it after high school. Maciag chose to attend the University for a new experience he hoped would inspire his music. He wanted to focus on economics as his major and possible career. "He writes about what he knows. He is definitely one of those peo- "I have my priorities straight — my family and I want me to graduate and have a successful career with whatever I do," he said. "I know music doesn't guarantee me a career." Maciag said his parents have always been accepting when it came to odd jobs. He thought this might be to do with his oldest brother being the first in his family to graduate from college. "He is definitely one of those people who cares about the music he makes and is not simply doing it for the fame." West released his EP "Save Me" in May. He said the University heavily inspired the music. He said campus has a great layout and that Wesco Beach, people-watching and campus scenery have helped craft his musical ideas. ASHLEY SMARKER Lawrence Arts Center Employee a New Jersey native. He began making music when he was a freshman in high school. Dave Matthews and Radiohead inspired Maciag to start writing his own songs. He became interested in making music professionally only a year and a half ago when a friend suggested that he start a career. Macag said that initially telling his parents he wanted to record music professionally went over better than most people would think. Lawrence Arts Center employee and KU alumna Ashley Smarker ple who cares about the music he makes and is not simply doing it for the fame," Smarker said. Maciag isn't satisfied with his music yet. He said balancing school and music could get frustrating. At times he contemplated putting his career on hold. "A lot of days I really doubt myself and ask how I can do it. I watch MTV and see those big-name artists, wondering if I can entertain like that or should I focus fully on economics as a career? It can be difficult," Maciag said. Maciag will travel to Nashville, Tenn., when he graduates. In November he will visit New York City to record an album with a full band. He will submit it to several record labels. Maciag said doubts about his career path still linger because he has two years after he graduates to become a successful artist. Then he loses his parents' support. West will perform at 10 p.m. Friday at the Jazzhaus, located at 926 Massachusetts Street. - Edited by Rachael Gray 907 12 Nick West Maciag, Plano, Texas, senior studies economics and records music.

The last time Kansas faced Missouri State was in 2005, a game that was a shutout for the Bears, 2-0. AGAINST THE ODDS In the first half the Missouri State's goal posts did more saving than the team's junior goalkeeper, Jackie Jasper. The Bears were second to Kansas in shot attempts with only nine, but led in corner kicks 8-1. Despite the weather the Jayhawks barreled through many obstacles during the regulation, including 12 frustrating shot attempts that never hit the net. Jayhawk senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn didn't get the opportunity to save many goals during the game, a welcomed change from the consecutive losses of the season. "It was good that we created as many chances as we did. I was definitely proud of the kids today." Coach Mark Francis said. NEXT UP FOR THE JAYHAWKS Fans can watch the soccer team at home this weekend for two games. Kansas will play Illinois on Friday at 5 p.m., and California on Sunday at 1 p.m. G Sophomore defender Estelle Johnson, said she felt like the team's win was a turning point in the season. Francis said, "It was a test of character, today. We need to use this as a stepping stone to keep improving, and looking to do better things."

The Jayhawks' wide receivers dropped eight passes in last week's 45-13 victory over Toledo. 5 Receivers seek consistency in catches BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Senior wide receiver Marcus Henry said every time a wide receiver drops a pass in practice, he has to do push ups. If Saturday's game against the Toledo Rockets serves as any indication, the Jayhawk receivers are going to be doing enough push ups to make a marine cadet at boot camp crinee. "Catching the football is a fundamental we have to get back to," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "We just have to re-emphasize and re-teach that." Kansas players dropped eight passes in the 45-13 victory. The drops didn't seem to hurt the Jayhawks on Saturday. But with Big 12 conference play a mere three weeks away, mistakes like dropped passes must be addressed immediately.

The team tied with Oral Roberts and lost to the University of Houston. The Kansas Men's Golf team placed second yesterday in the Kansas Invitational after finishing at dismal 17th place at the St. Mary's Invitational only a week earlier. Kansas held first place going into the second day but couldn't hold onto the lead. Kansas tied for second place with Oral Roberts. The University of Houston Cougars passed the Jayhawks on the second day and won by six strokes. Kansas also lost the individual title to the Cougar's Jordan Irwin. The second place tie snapped the team's three-year reign over the Kansas Invitational. Coach Kit Grove expressed his feelings about the end result. "Obviously we are a little disappointed because you expect to win when you are leading coming into the final round at your home course," Grove said. Grove's young squad showed major improvements from the St. Mary's Invitational, especially on short game performance. Some of the younger players gave the golf team a boost, mainly freshman Nate Barbee. Barbee led the Jayhawks for the second straight tournament. Barbee cracked the top 10 for the first time in Division I play, finishing tied for eighth place. Freshman Brad Hopfinger made his college debut in the Kansas Invitational scoring just four above par on the final round. Hopfinger did struggle in the invitational, finishing only 22nd, while tying for the most birdies in the tournament with 11. Junior Walt Koelbel followed Barbee and finished tied for 11th place. This made a personal mark in his record book. Koelbel's finish was his best at the Kansas Invitational and his second career best. Junior Zach Pederson tied Koelbel and shot a team best on Tuesday at 73. Kansas State and the University of California at Davis rounded out the top five for the Kansas Invitational. The team will attempt to win its first title of the season in Glencoe, Ill., where the Jayhawks will compete in the Windon Memorial Classic. —Edited by Rachael Gray standings Place -School-Score after 3 rounds Place-Best Player-Score after 3 rounds 1-Houston-888 1-Jordan Irwin-215 T-2-Oral Roberts-894 T-3-Austin Hannah-218 T-2-Kansas-894 T-8-Nate Barbee-221 4-Kansas State-898 T-16-Mitchell Gregson-223 5-UC Davis-902 T-6 Matt Marshall-220 》 WOMEN'S GOLF Jayhawks finish seventh in Colorado BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.edu The University of Kansas women's golf team should have no trouble playing in wet conditions. In fact, the Jayhawks may not know how to play in anything else. Storms once again kept the team from enjoying a tournament with no delays or difficult conditions. Despite playing below its expectations in a rain-shortened round on Monday, Kansas battled back from a first-day, 12th place finish to end in seventh in an 18-team field at the University of Denver's Ron Moore Invitational at Highlands Ranch Golf Club. Initially the players had some trouble adjusting to a new course and tricky greens but eventually settled down to finish strong and catapult themselves up the leaderboard on the second day. "It was a course we have never played and the weather was bad again but that's no excuse." Coach Erin O'Neil said. "I think it was just getting a feel for the course and young players take a little longer to adjust. The greens were a little faster than they were last week." The Jayhawks were led by sophomore Emily Powers, who shot an impressive 5-under par in her final round to guide Kansas to a third round team total of 294, the third lowest team round in the tournament. Powers' said her miraculous eagle five holes into the final round gave her the confidence she needed to post a low score. "I lolled out from 135 yards," she said. "It gave me momentum for the rest of the round. The day before I was kind of down about my iron shots and it actually gave me and confidence that I could hit it close to the pin." Powers ended the tournament in a four-way tie for seventh and her round of 67 was the lowest round of the tournament. Senior Annie Giangrosso provided a steadying upperclassman presence as her consistent scoring earned her a tie for 26th. Meanwhile the rest of the team continued a pattern of improvement after the first round. Sophomore Meghan Gockel tied for 64th, freshman Megna Bal tied for 36th and freshman Grace Thiry tied for 71st. All made the necessary adjustments to improve their play as the tournament progressed. O'Neil said her team's pattern of improvement was a result of each player's mindset as they enter the final round. board because that's usually when people will falter" "I was really pleased with how they played today after a long day yesterday," O'Neil said. "I always talk to them about finishing strong and moving your way up the leader Kansas made its move against top competition. As expected, the University of Denver won the tournament handily but Kansas was able to hold its own against a tough group of Big 12 conference opponents, finishing fourth among the seven Big 12 teams competing. The performance was an encouraging one as the team battled adversity to finish in the top half of the field. O'Neil said her team showed its potential by being patient and playing smart, despite struggles the first day. "You are never really out of it. It can change with one swing," she said. "Momentum can shift from bad to good. I think they are seeing that it doesn't have to be perfect and it doesn't have to be pretty." Regardless of their initial struggles, the team has shown a resiliency that should serve them well throughout the fall and into the spring. Now they can only hope the rain will stop following their every move. Edited by Luke Morris NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma.

But Reesing said he had no reason to believe that his receiver's plight would continue. "We'll be able to fix it this week," Reesing said. "We'll come out on offense and practice a lot harder and be more focused for this next game." The chief culprit of the problem was Marcus Henry, Reesing's favorite weapon. Henry dropped five passes including a couple that seemed to be vital early in the game. But Henry also became the first KU receiver since 1996 to record three straight 100 yard receiving games. The accomplishment represents Reesing's trust in his senior receiver. In the second quarter of the Toledo game, Henry dropped a pass thrown right at his chest that would have given the jayhawks a first down. It brought up a third-and-10 situation with Kansas only up 10-0. Reesing was unfazed by the drop and went right back to Henry, and this time the receiver caught the ball for a 42-yard touchdown. "Marcus has a lot of confidence and I have a ton of confidence in him and he knew he should have caught it," Reesing said. "But I knew if I gave him the ball right there, he'd come back and make a play. And he did." Mangino said he had pinpointed the reasons why Henry had problems by watching the game film. He said the adjustments would be as simple as waiting to run up field after catching the ball and never relaxing after Henry wasn't the only receiver to drop a pass, though. Senior tight end Derek Fine and freshman wide receiver Dezmion Briscoe also had notable follies. catching a pass. "Every time we go out there we are in pursuit for perfection," Henry said. "It's a striding down when we drop passes." Kansas was far from perfect when attempting to hang on to passes against Toledo. But the sufficient practice time spent focusing on the issue this week should make the receivers more consistent. They'll be able to do more push ups, too. — Edited by Ashlee Kieler Player Receptions Yards Long TD Marcus Henry 19 355 66 2 Dexton Fields 11 153 34 2 Aqib Talib 5 150 58 3 Derek Fine 9 90 32 1 DEFENSE (CONTINUED FROM 1B) keep the ball on the ground to score against the lavhaws.

Perhaps worst of all, Kinsmon Lancaster of Louisiana-Monroe completed 24 of 41 passes for 377 yards. 2007 has been a different story for the Kansas defensive backfield. Through three games, the Jayhawks are ranked 10th nationally and first in the Big 12 Conference in passing yards allowed per game. Opponents have averaged fewer than four yards per pass attempt — down from seven yards per attempt last season — and have thrown more interceptions than touchdowns. So what's changed? Every Jayhawk seems to have a different answer to that question. Sophomore free safety Darrell Stuckey said the defense had improved its speed because of conditioning drills. Mangino said experience has played a role in the turnaround, Junior cornerback Aqib Talib credited the progress to some recent fine-tuning. so it's really paying off for us." Southeastern Louisiana and Toledo may not have served as tough tests for many defensive backfields, but Kansas' first opponent, Central Michigan, was led by highly touted quarterback Dan LeFevour. LeFevour, an All-MAC first team selection last season, managed only 172 yards on 19-of-37 passing. The performance of the secondary against LeFevour bodies well for the Jayhawks, because they will face several elite quarterbacks once conference play begins. we're much improved in that area." "We have to be able to do it in our conference because we'll see a lot of deep routes." Mangino said. "We have to be good at it and I think Though Kansas will avoid passing threats like Texas quarterback Colt McCoy and Oklahoma signal-caller Sam Bradford, the Jayhawks still have to face Missouri's Chase Daniel and Kansas State's Josh Freeman this season. When Kansas starts conference play Oct. 6, the opponents will be bigger, faster and smarter than anyone the team has faced so far. But no evidence suggests the Kansas secondary is not bigger, faster and smarter than it was one year ago.

Sophomore free safety Darrrell Stuckey earned the defensive honors for his three tackle, one interception performance. Sophomore running back Jake Sharp was the offensive player of the game, rushing for 127 yards on 13 carries. Sophomore wide receiver Micah Brown won the special teams honor for his good work on kick coverage, making one tackle. The scout team players of the week were freshman cornerback Isiah Barfield and freshman quarterback A.J. Steward. INJURY UPDATE Junior cornerback Kendrick Harper is still progressing as expected in his return from an injury, Mangino said. Harper has been out of action since the first week of training camp and is targeted to return sometime in the next two weeks. He participated in light workouts on Tuesday and should return to full speed for the first time on Wednesday, Mangino said. Harper held the starting cornerback job entering fall practices, but freshman Chris Harris has replaced him in the lineup in the team's first three games. Mangino said he would reserve judgment on Harper's availability for this weekend's game until later in the week. SEE THE BLITZ Kansas' last two opponents — Southeastern Louisiana and Toledo — applied plenty of defensive pressure. Mangino said that the experience against the blitz would prove beneficial for the Jayhawks because of the different looks the young offense would most likely see once conference play begins Oct. 6. PUNT-RETURNER CONTROVERSY junior cornerback Aqib Talib has shown the ability to play both offense and defense exceptionally. Don't expect him to add a third dimension to his game anytime soon. Despite sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton's mishap-filled game last weekend, Mangino said he was not considering turning Talib into a punt returner. Talib occasionally works with the punt return team, but his aggressive and impatient style of play makes him a poor fit for the role of punt returner, Mangino said. Freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe is the main competitor for Pendleton's job, and both are practicing at the position. Edited by Ashlee Kieler NFL Former players seek benefits BY MARY CLARE JALONICK ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Under fire from injured retirees who say they were denied sufficient benefits, the head of the National Football League Players Association asked Congress on Tuesday for greater authority to approve disability claims. Gene Upshaw, director of the players association, said the union currently is limited in what it can do for the scores of former players who are battered and broken from years of playing the violent sport. At the same time, Upshaw and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said league pensions are improving. "We have made great progress, and we are not finished," Upshaw told a Senate committee. "Congress can help." It is the first time the union has asked Congress for help with the problem, which was the subject of a House hearing earlier this year. Retired football players have been openly critical of the NFL and the players' union over the amount of money that older retirees get from a $1.1 billion fund set aside for disability and pensions. Goodell defended the system, saying the NFL is boosting benefits when many companies around the country are reducing them. But he acknowledged that there have to be ways to improve. "We recognize this is not a short-term problem," he said in his testimony. Several former players testified — sometimes tearfully — about the injuries they now live with. Witnesses included Garrett Webster, son of the late Mike Webster, the Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steelers' center who suffered from mental illness that was widely attributed to head injuries. "I would give my life to never see another family end up like mine," Webster said. Mike Ditka, a Hall of Fame coach and player for the Chicago Bears, argued that the older players who built the league should be treated better. P. M. A. R. S. P. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L.

ALEXANDER TRAVAT After missing the playoffs by a total of three points the last two seasons, the Kansas City Wizards and their fans hope 2007 is the year the bad luck ends. On Saturday the Wizards made their inclusion much more likely, coming back to win 3-2 with two stoppage-time goals against a stunned Columbus Crew. BY ANDREW WIEBEE KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST AWIEBE@KANSAN.COM The win kept them six points ahead of the fourth place Chicago Fire and put them one point behind the New York Red Bulls for third in MLS's Eastern Conference with five matches to play. Kansas City Wizards forward Eddie Johnson gains control of the ball over Columbus Crew defender Tim Ward on Saturday in Kansas City. Johnson is second in MLS with 15 goals and is a key player to Kansas City's playoff hopes. Despite the dramatic win, the Wizards must still perform down the stretch in order to assure their first playoff berth since their trip to the MLS Cup final in 2004. The schedule is not a kind one. The remaining five teams on the Wizards' schedule — Chivas USA, the Los Angeles Galaxy, D.C. United, the New York Red Bulls and FC Dallas — have a combined record of 55-44-21, and that's including the Galaxy's MLS-worst 4-13-5 mark. They will also face seven of the MLS's top-10 scorers in that span. Three of the five matches are on the road. At least a win and a draw in the remaining five matches would seem to lock in a spot, but that could be a difficult proposition. Here are my predictions for the matches that will make or break the Wizards' season. JOHNSON 7 ASSOCIATED PRESS Chivas USA is 9-0-2 this season at the Home Depot Center, and there is no reason to believe the Wizards will blemish that record. Chivas USA is one of the hottest teams in MLS, losing only once in its last 10 matches, and boasts three of the MLS's most explosive offensive forces in Maykel Galindo, Ante Razov and Sasha Klestan. CHIVAS USA (AWAY), SEPT. 22 Chivas is dominant in its own end as well. United States National team regulars, goalkeeper Brad Guzan and left back Jonathan Bornstein, lead a defense that has allowed 22 goals, second only to the Houston Dynamo's 21. Though the Wizards managed a 3-2 home victory in its only other meeting this year, Chivas' untarnished record at home coupled with the Goats' momentum means the Wizards will be looking elsewhere for the points it needs. PREDICTION: Chivas USA 3, Wizards 1 LOS ANGELES GALAXY (HOME), SEPT.27 able to match anything Donovan contributes. Anything but a win will be a massive disappointment. PREDICTION: Wizards 2, Galaxy 0 This is a must-win for the Wizards. The Galaxy is the worst team in MLS and losing to it could spell doom for the Wizards' playoff hopes. The Wizards has lost only four of its 12 matches at Arrowhead Stadium, but the Galaxy will attempt to be a spoiler with nothing but pride left to play for. Although the absence of David Beckham will disappoint ticket holders, the Wizards should be able to take advantage of a defense that seems to be finding ways to allow goals rather than prevent them. Kansas City should be able to use its forward tandem of Eddie Johnson and Scott Sealy to get behind the Galaxy's shaky back line and create plenty of chances, but the two must beat goalkeeper Joe Cannon. Defensively speaking, Landon Donovan is LA's only offensive threat and the Wizards should be DC UNITED (HOME), OCT.5 Despite playing at home, the Wizards will be pushed to earn a point against what is obviously MLS's best team. United boasts the best attack in the league and has scored 20 more goals than its opponents. As for home-field advantage, only 7,872 fans showed up at Arrowhead to see Brazilian forward Luciano Emilio score the lone goal in a 1-0 loss by the Wizards on July 4. That's right, only seven thousand fans showed up to see what is probably the most talent-laden roster in the league. Unless the attendance figures take a sudden jump, home-field advantage will not be enough to significantly affect the match. The Wizards did show some promise in the teams' last meeting as they out shot United 21-to-11 while missing leading scorer Johnson, who was on Copa America duty with the national team. Kansas City will have to put the ball in the back of the net multiple times to challenge a United squad that has been dominant over the past month. Fortunately for the Wizards, DC has already qualified for the playoffs and may choose to rest its stars, but it will still take a sharp performance to get any kind of result. PREDICTION: DC United 3, Wizards 1 NEW YORK RED BULLS (AWAY),OCT.13 After denying the Wizards a playoff spot on the final day of the season last October, the Red Bulls want to once again knock their Eastern Conference rivals out of the chase for the MLS Cup. The teams have already met on two occasions in 2007 resulting in two highly entertaining matches, a win and a draw for Kansas City. The Wizards claimed an exciting 3-2 victory via a Johnson hat-trick in the first meeting in Kansas City but settled for a 3-3 draw 14 days later in New York. This may be the Wizards' best chance to get points on the road. Odds are the teams will not deviate from the high-scoring formula they have exhibited in their past two meetings. Accordingly, the Wizards will have to score and, more importantly, limit the amount of touches Red Bulls forward Juan Pablo Angel receives in dangerous areas. If Kansas City can put up two goals, a draw or even a victory is a likely possibility, but the defense will have to perform better than it has in the prior two meetings to earn the full three points. **PREDICTION:** Wizards 2, Red Bulls 2 FC DALLAS (AWAY), OCT.20 would go a long way to ease tension within the Wizards' locker room and fan base. If all goes as planned, Kansas City should have its four playoff points by now. Of course a win Dallas is a solid home team, 7-31 at Pizza Hut Park this season, but suffered through an inconsistent season that makes a loss at home a distinct possibility. New Brazilian signing Denilson has yet to become comfortable with his teammates or show much of the skill that convinced the Hoops to make him the fifth designated player in MLS, but that may change during the next month. Either way, Dallas has the ability to make this a difficult match for the Wizards. Midfield destroyer Juan Toja is back from injury and former Manchester United forward Kenny Cooper should be too. Cooper had four goals and two assists before breaking his leg early in the year. Both Toja and Cooper scored in a 2-1 win in Kansas City on May 12 and their inclusion back in the lineup should be a major boost for FC Dallas. Johnson did not play in that game so the Wizards have reason to be optimistic as its attacking options are solidified by his inclusion. Even a draw should cement its place in the postseason. PREDICTION: Wizards 2, FC Dallas 1 Assuming these predictions hold true, that would leave the Wizards with 43 points. That should be enough to guarantee a spot in the MLS Cup playoffs assuming none of the teams currently on the bubble turn its season around in one mouth. The result will be somewhere between the sixth and eighth seed, but Wizards fans can still hold out hope for a miraculous run. The key will be the play of Johnson and the resurgent Sealy in attack. The Wizards must score goals in bunches and with those two in form it has an opportunity to make some noise. Anything can happen once single elimination begins; the key is to be part of the action.

The Bengals hit 51-45. This week's games turned out some thrilling contests and some big surprises. Here are the players who benefited from all the action. BOOMS QB — Cincinnati's Carson Palmer did all he could to put up a fight against the Browns. The Brown's? Yes, Cleveland and Cincinnati dueled on offense and Palmer threw for just over 400 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions. Granted, the Bengals lost the game, but no quarterback came close to Palmer's fantasy production this week. WR — Who do you think Carson Palmer was throwing to all day on Sunday? That's right, Chad Johnson, one of the premier wide receivers in the NFL. Johnson had 11 catches for 209 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson may have made a bad move diving into the Dog Pound. Cleveland's fan section, but he had made all the right moves on the field all day. RB — The biggest surprise of the game between Cincinnati and Cleveland was the non-existent defense of the Bengals. Cleveland running back Jamal Lewis was back to his Pro Bowl form on Sunday. Lewis rushed for 216 yards on 27 carries and had one touchdown. Lewis definitely proved himself to his new team on Sunday. TE — How many players can I have on the top performance list from one game? The answer is four. A lot of people were big on Cleveland's Kellen Winslow coming into the season as long as he could stay healthy. Sunday he proved he has the skills to be one of the top tight ends in the league. Winslow had six catches for 100 yards and one touchdown. He is starting to show the potential the Browns have been waiting on since they drafted him. DEF — For the second straight week New England completely dominated a team on defense. This week's performance was even more impressive than the Patriots' opening-week romp against the Jets. The Patriots defense shut down arguably the best player in the NFL. They held LaDainian Tomlinson to 18 carries for 43 yards. The Patriot's defense also intercepted Philip Rivers twice. This team will be a tough matchup for anyone the rest of the season. K - In the hierarchy of the league's best kickers, Pittsburgh's Jeff Reed's name is not mentioned that often. On Sunday though, he was the model of consistency making all four of his field goals and two extra points. The Steelers dominated time of possession against the Bills and relied on Reed's sure foot to put most of their points on the board. BUSTS QB — J.P. Losman has not looked strong in his first two games of the season. On Sunday, a tough Steelers defense held him to 154 passing yards on 15 completions and no touchdowns. If Buffalo wants to succeed this year, it will depend a lot on Losman's play at quarterback. WR — I will admit that I was a big fan of Buffalo's Lee Evans as one of the top fantasy wide receivers, but he has struggled out of the gate. He was almost invisible on the field against Denver in week one and he had two catches for 17 yards against the Steelers on Sunday. Evans will need to focus mentally as he faces another tough task against the Patriots defense this coming week. RB — San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson was the league MVP last year. On Sunday, though, the Patriots held him to only 43 yards on 18 carries. Obviously Tomlinson is a great player, but the Patriots improved defense was just too much for him on Sunday. Tomlinson is guaranteed to bounce back and have a big game next Sunday. TE — Denver barely beat the lowly Raiders this past weekend. Daniel Graham only had one reception for nine yards in the game. If the Broncos want to improve their offense under Jay Cutler they need to use Graham more effectively in the passing game. Boom and Bust DEF — What team can give up 554 total yards of offense to the Cleveland Browns. Apparently the Bengals can. In their loss to the Browns on Sunday, they only caused one turnover, while allowing Derek Anderson to throw for 300 yards, Jamal Lewis to rush for 200 yards, and two receivers to have 100 yard receiving games. Cincinnati's offense is there, but if the Bengals want to win, their defense must improve. BOOM and BOOMS Chad Johnson 11 catches 209 yards 2 touchdowns Jamal Lewis 27 carries 216 yards 1 touchdown Carson Palmer 33/50 401 yards 6 touchdowns 2 interceptions Edited by Luke Morris worst kicker of the week when you lose your job and are replaced by the ageless wonder, Morten Andersen. Falcons kicker Matt Prater missed two field goal attempts and made the only extra point attempt in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. The good news is Prater and Kansas City's Justin Medlock can now tell stories about how great it is to be a rookie kicker in the NFL.

MLB Royals 3, White Sox 2 Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Gil Meche throws against Chicago White Sox's Darin Erstad in the second inning of a baseball game on Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo. Royals 55 ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Gil Mchee picked up his ninth victory Tuesday night, but he could have a whole lot more if he got any run support this season. Mache scattered four hits over seven innings, and Billy Butler drove in two runs as the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2. Mche (9-12) has a 2.90 ERA over his past eight starts, and has not allowed more than three runs in any of them. But he is just 2-3 over that stretch, and the Royals have scored only 10 runs while he was on the mound in his 12 defeats. "I think you could conservatively say he could have won 16 to 17 games the way he's pitched," Royals manager Buddy Bell said. "We got three runs in the first and that's all we needed. I felt like were on the edge all night long and kind of held on." The right-hander, who the Royals signed to a five-year, $55 million contract during the off-season, has worked 202 innings to become the first Kansas City pitcher to surpass the 200-inning mark since left-hander Darrell May logged 210 innings in 2003. "It's something I've never done," Meche said. "To come in here with a big contract and establish myself as a good pitcher who eats up a lot of innings and give us a chance to win, for the most part I've done that all year. I've been real pleased." Mche gave up two runs, one earned, while striking out five and walking two. "We get three runs off the bat and it let me go out there and relax a little," Meche said. Royals hopeful for new season Team improves on last season's record of 100 losses 》 COMMENTARY --- There is always next year. That seems to be a common saying for the Kansas City Royals. BY ERICA JOHNSON KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST EJOHNSON@KANSAN.COM Former Royals manager Tony Pena always tried to stagnate the phrase each year while he was with the organization. In 2003 he almost did. At least this year, like 2003, it does not have to include 100 losses. For the first time in four years, the Royals will not lose more than 100 games and still have a chance to finish fourth in the AL Central above the Chicago White Sox. That's far better than the cellar, where they have been almost exclusively since 2003. As every team does in the off-season, the Royals want to bring in new faces and get rid of some of the current ones. In other words, they are going to find the free agent past his prime ... aka another Reggie Sanders. Sanders is making $5 million this year and has only played 24 games because he has spent most of the season on the DL. Alex Gordon, Mark Teahen or John Buck would like to make that kind of cash, considering they have played the whole season and have actually contributed to the relative success Then there is the "captain" Mike One decision I questioned at the beginning of this season was the signing of pitcher Gil Meche. I could not understand why Kansas City gave him so much money when he wasn't well known. But even though he has a losing record of 8-12, he is probably the top startling pitcher for the Royals and will be even better the next couple of years if he can get the run support that has been lacking this year. Sweeney. He made only $11 million this year and did not play half of the games. Just think of all the Teahams the Royals could have if they had not paid Sweeney so much during the past five years. Granted, in his prime with the Royals he put up numbers that deserved that kind of check. In 2000 he hit .333 with 29 homers and had 144 RBIs. But since then things haven't been the same. Injury after injury has seemed to haunt Sweeney ever since he signed his big contract in 2002. It's up this year and even though he has been a fan-favorite around the Kansas City area for the past nine years, I think it is time for everyone to let him go. The Royals have young players who have made a big impact in their lineup already, including Billy Butler. The 21-year-old has made a case for why he should be the first baseman and clean up hitter for the Royals in the years to come. Let's just hope that the Royals' personnel does not let up and bring in young players again like they have in previous years. Rookie Brian Bannister has been a bright spot for the Royals with his 12-8 record and is ninth in the AL with a 3.39 earned run average. If he can avoid the sophomore slump the Royals will have a good one-two starting rotation of Meche and Bannister. In a few more years, the Royals will probably be able to contend for the AL championship. Nevertheless, for now, I can just hope in the future they make 16 million different decisions. There is always next year. PITCHERS OF THE FUTURE — Edited by Amelia Freidline NFL Chiefs keep positive attitude despite 0-2 start to season MCAT | DAT | OAT | PCAT KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs are hoping history repeats itself. The Chiefs are 0-2, scoring a mere 13 points in losses at Chicago and Houston. Kansas City began last season 0-2, while scoring 16 points, but rebounded to win nine of its final 14 games to earn a wild card playoff berth. "There are 10 teams that are 0-2 right now."Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said Tuesday. "Of the 10 teams 0-2, five of them were playoff teams last year. We happen to be one of those five. But there is no need to panic. We're going keep doing what we have to do. We'll get better." Kansas City ranks 31st out of 32 NFL teams in points per game. It's 28th in total yards, 27th in rushing yards, 24th in passing yardage and 30th in third down efficiency. But Edwards insists the offense's confidence is not wavering. "They need some success, like anybody in life." Edwards said. not plays. It's not play calls. It's being successful on the football field;' He said, "We've had some success on moving the ball at times. We haven't had enough success scoring. That's the problem. If you don't score, you don't gain a lot of confidence." Save $200! The Chiefs play the Minnesota Vikings (1-1) Sunday in their home opener. The Vikings defense ranks third in the NFL in points per game, holding Atlanta and Detroit to 23 points. "You gain confidence by being successful. That's what gains confidence.

The University Daily Kansan received two manila envelopes containing the personal information on Tuesday. The envelopes contained fax reports, student tests, Social Security numbers, seating charts and credit applications. A cover letter from an anonymous source was attached to the documents. The letter said the information was from the department of mathematics and was retrieved from recycling bins and a dumpster behind Snow Hall. The letter implicated Gloria Prothe, an employee of the department of mathematics, for not properly disposing of personal information. Lynn Bretz, director of university communications, said she didn't know how the information was leaked, but that the University's primary concern was protecting students and preventing their information from further exposure. Bretz said the University was asking for the return of the documents to protect the students and to begin its investigation of the incident. "This is an issue in society," Bretz said. "We've all been dealing with this for the last five, six, seven years — there's been web- hacking. People all over the country are saying 'Better not use Social Security numbers as numbers for students at universities.' This is a long wake-up call for everybody." The Kankas City Star and The Lawrence Journal-World received envelopes containing similar information. Bretz said the investigation would be led by a team made up of officials from the Provost's office, the dean's office, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, human relations, and Jane Rosenthal, the University privacy coordinator and custodian of records.

KANSAS STAFF REPORTER The original home of the University of Kansas was a 50-square foot, three-story structure that stood where GSP-Corbin Hall is now. The building was dubbed "North College", or "Old North," because it was set on the north slope of Mt. Oread. The University had a chemical lab and the janitor's room on the first floor, a lecture hall and two studies on the second and an auditorium, a museum and library on Ferdinand Fuller, one of the first settlers of Lawrence, designed the building. According to KUHistory, com, Fuller also gave Mt. Oread the name it bears today. The name came from the Oread Female Institute, one of the last sites the settlers passed as they left their hometown, Worcester, Mass. When the University opened its doors in 1866, Old North housed a whopping three professors, 55 students, a hygiene lecturer and a janitor. the third. By 1871, the University had more than 250 students enrolled. Old North remained the home of the university until 1972, when University Hall, also known as Old Fraser, was built. Old North was then abandoned, until 1881, when the state of Kansas took over the building. The University reclaimed Old North in 1889, when it became the home of the law school until 1893. From 1893 until 1917, it was home to the School of Fine Arts. Disassembly of Old North began immediately after the School of Fine Arts moved out. What remained was destroyed in 1919. It wasn't just torn down; an army tank blew it apart as a demonstration of the tank's "effectiveness." Like most of the University's early construction, Old North was not soundly built, and by 1917, the building was falling apart. Jessie Fetterlina/KANSAN Today, a small memorial sits at the original threshold of Old North in the GSP-Corbin parking lot, along with a piece of a stone windowsill. The memorial is all that remains of the University's first home.

Dobson said a tremendous addition to geopolitics was Google Earth. The program uses satellite and Geographic Information Systems to map out the geography of an area, and was founded by KU graduate Brian McClendon. McClendon is known as "the man who made Lawrence the center of the Earth," because the program automatically zooms in on Lawrence. Dobson said Google Earth had been a very valuable addition to geopolitics because it was a place for geographers to publish their work. — Sasha Roe correction Wednesday's article "Campus police put brakes on bicycle traffic violators" misidentified John Louis.

LAWRENCE, KS 66045 THE UNIVERSITY OF DARY KANSAN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2007 》 NEWS STUDY ABROAD 3A Petition supports Israel program BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com Nick Lush leaned over a table on the Stauffer-Flint lawn and signed a Hillel petition that would make it easier for University of Kansas students to study abroad in Israel. The Israel study abroad program was suspended in 2000 when a travel warning was issued by the U.S. Department of State. The University has a policy not to send students to countries with travel warnings because of liability. Hillel proposed a compromise that would create an affiliation with the University of Texas. Under the compromise, KU students could study abroad through the University of Texas, which has a program in Israel, while remaining enrolled at the University. Zac Pollack, Overland Park sophomore, Hillel member and organizer of the petition, said if the petition worked out then the Office of Study Abroad would help students study abroad rather than saying "no." He said 40 students signed the petition. Adam MarDonald/KANCAN Lush, Sacramento, Calif., senior, said he studied abroad in Florence two semesters ago, but his first choice was Israel. He said all the countries on the list should be looked at objectively, rather than discontinuing the program just because it made the list. Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of the Office of Study Abroad, said students came in every year and asked to go to Israel. She said the decision was made by individual universities, and the University would reinstate the program when it was removed from the travel advisory list. A Falafel on the Beach June 14-16, 2015 Veggie Time August 15 September 7 October 9 "Just because one thing has happened at any time in its history doesn't mean that country should be permanently barred from having people go there," Lush said. "America is a sworn ally of Israel and sworn to defend the country. It's kind of ridiculous that we wouldn't offer students here the ability to go." Rachel Goldberg, St. Louis sophomore and Grinspoon intern for Hillel, said she knew students who studied abroad in Israel who disenrolled from the University to do so. "It's quite a tedious process. They are going and they are safe. There's no reason why KU shouldn't put it on their list," Goldberg said. Gronbeck-Tedesco said any policy changes were up to Provost Richard Lariviere, who couldn't be reached for comment. She said the University accepted transfer credit for students who went around the policy to study abroad in Israel. Jacci Shanon, Austin, Texas, sophomore, and Haley Becker, Overland Park sophomore, prepare falafels to sell to students Wednesday. The sale was part of an event that promoted a petition to consider Israel a study abroad destination.

But today, that is exactly what a group of researchers and students at the University of Kansas is aiming to achieve. The University Biodiesel Initiative is working to produce a practical biodiesel fuel that would consist of food wastes such as vegetable oil to reduce air pollutants. The group aims to one day fuel buses on campus with leftovers from The Underground and other eateries. Susan Williams, associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, said the group would start out small before testing the new fuels on campus buses. The buses currently run on B5, which consists of 5 percent biodiesel and 95 percent conventional, petroleum-based diesel. She said the group would begin by using the fuel in University lawn equipment. "The buses will be awhile because we have to get approval to use higher than B5 in the buses and not risk voiding the warranty from the manufacturer," Williams said. The group works with two reactors in Burt Hall that can make 40 gallons of biodiesel every five days. The reactors were partially paid for by a $15,000 grant from the Student Senate. Ilya Tabakh, a Shawnee Mission doctoral student involved in the project, asked the Senate for the funds. "I thought it was a good way to get the ball rolling on this type of research." Tabakh said. "We need to be responsible stewards of the waste we produce on campus." Williams said the group would work on the entire process, from cultivating plants that could produce the fuel to studying how its emissions would affect the environment. "KU can be a leader in biofuel process improvement and at approaching bio-based fuels from a 'feedstock to tailpipe approach'," she said. Dennis Lane, distinguished professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering, said he hope the project would spread beyond the University campus. He said the University's location could make the program influential in the region. Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Adrian Polansky visited the University on Tuesday to meet with researchers involved in the project to examine the reactors. He said many of the technologies being pursued at the University were promising for the future. "We have strengths in Kansas in these particular areas," Polansky said. "It makes sense to bring in additional funding and research to build on these strengths." Polansky cited reasons other than sustainability for continuing research on biofuels. "Every time we can replace a barrel of oil from the Middle East, national security benefits," he said. "I think it's absolutely the direction we need to go." —Edited by Rachel Bock 》 CRIME Simpson charged with 10 felonies ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS — Prosecutors filed formal charges Tuesday against O.J. Simpson, alleging the former football star committed 10 felonies, including kidnapping, in the armed robbery of sports memorabilia collectors in a casino-hotel room. Simpson was arrested Sunday after a collector reported a group of armed men charged into his hotel room and took several items Simpson claimed belonged to him. Police reports obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press offered details on the scene. Simpson, 60, was booked on five felony counts, including suspicion of assault and robbery with a deadly weapon. District Attorney David Roger filed those charges and added five other felonies, including kidnapping and conspiracy to commit kidnapping, according to court documents. Simpson, accused along with three other men, faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted in the robbery at the Palace Station casino. He was being held without bail and was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday. According to the charges, Simpson and the others went to the hotel room under the pretext of brokering a deal with Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong, two longtime collectors of Simpson memorabilia. According to police reports, Simpson and the other men entered the room and at gunpoint ordered the collectors to hand over several items once owned by the Heisman Trophy winner. Beardsley told police that one of the men with Simpson brandished a semiautomatic pistol, impersonated a police officer and frisked him. "I'm a cop and you're lucky this ain't LA or you'd be dead," the man said, according to the report. The man who arranged the meeting for Simpson and the collectors, Tom Riccio, also told police a Simpson associate was "acting like a cop," the report said. As his associates tried to seize cell phones, Simpson yelled and cursed the collectors, who Simpson has said were trying to sell items that had been stolen from him. The kidnapping charges filed Tuesday accuse Simpson and three other men of detaining each of the collectors "against his will, and without his consent, for the purpose of committing a robbery." signed by Simpson, Joe Montana lithographs, baseballs autographed by Pete Rose and Duke Snider and framed awards and plaques, together valued at as much as $100.000. The memorabilia taken from the room included football game balls Some of the loot was stuffed into pillow cases stripped off the bed, according to the police report. Fromong, a crucial witness, was in critical condition Tuesday after suffering a heart attack the day before, according to a spokeswoman at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, said he planned to ask for Simpson's release on his own recognizance. "We intend to vigorously represent Mr. Simpson on all charges," Galanter said. "We believe ultimately he will be found not guilty." He refused to comment further on the additional charges. Two others named in the complaint, Walter Alexander and Clarence Stewart, have been arrested and released. A fourth suspect, Michael McClinton, 49, of Las Vegas, surrendered to police Tuesday. Police said McClinton was "a key player" in the suspected theft. Police were also seeking two other suspects, whom they had not identified. ask listen solve SCROUNGIN' FOR CHANGE DOES NOT MAKE YOUR COUCH AN ATM.

Jennifer Jordan, director of business career services, said companies looked at more than just an impressive resume, clothes and a degree when considering employment. She said companies that attended the fair looked at factors such as compelling experience and internships. Other opportunities, such as the School of Business' new major, supply chain management (which will see its first graduates in spring 2009), will give students more options when looking for the right employer. *Free checks are limited to wallet-exclusive checks only.

"We take input from business students every year to determine a target list of employers," Jordan said. "We want to represent a good cross-section of employers for almost all of our business graduates." BY MATT HIRSCHFELD editor@kansan.com Ruth Marstall, recruiter for Westar Energy, said that some of the first aspects she looked for were the student's major, internships and programs they participated in. One program in particular that Marstall said was a good indicator for future employment was the Jayhawks on Wall Street program, a group of selected business students that visit Wall Street in New York during the course of the program. The students have a high interest in "We get a lot of interest from marketing-related students," Yang said. "We feel, though, that the company can market itself if the product is good enough to have customers talking." Yang said some fields in business were not as needed but very popular to encounter for the Panda Restaurant Group. proactive, responsible, able to multi-task and stress management," Yang said. "I mean, we are talking about a million-dollar business." "That program incorporates exactly what we are looking for in employees here at the company," Marstall said. investment banking and the opportunity to meet contacts on Wall Street. Marstall said Westar Energy was in growth mode, which was caused by more and more baby boomers retiring and causing more positions in almost all departments of the company to become available. Marshall said the company was planning the construction of a new power plant in Emporia, which presented a wider sented a wider range of jobs. "We take input from business students every year to determine a target list of employers." "At the moment, with the new plant, engineering majors are going to be in high demand for Westar this year," Marstall said. Jordan said graduating business students were still not giving Mimi Yang, field human resources manager for the Panda Restaurant Group, said that attending university career fairs was vital to seeking out qualified employees for the company. Yang's company plans to open 150 to 170 new restaurants in the next year, including two more in the Kansas City area. JENNIFER JORDAN Director of business career services "As important as a degree is, it is more important to possess skills and characteristics such as being highly Yang said more employees were needed to fill the jobs being created as the company grew. Jobs in real estate, legal services and the position of restaurant general manager were becoming vital for her company. She said it was difficult to find individuals qualified for the general manager position even if he or she had a degree. "There seems to be preconceived notions about these kinds of jobs," Jordan said.

Bretz said University employees needed to be trained better to create a more unified system for handling confidential information. The University's "information management initiative" is the solution for unifying the system, Bretz said. In July, a Kansas reporter recovered private information from Wesco Hall. The materials were taken from a portion of Wesco Hall that was under construction, The documents found included KUID numbers, course evaluations and grades. "People have forgotten about paper," Bretz said. "It's not just digital; it's paper and how they're connected. This is a wake-up call." Todd Davis, CEO of Life Lock, an identity theft prevention agency, said a Social Security number could allow an identity thief to find out more information about a person such as a phone number or address. With that information in addition to a Social Security number, Davis said, a thief could pose as someone else and apply for loans or credit cards. One of the forms in the envelope received Tuesday included one person's credit card number, Social Security number, phone number and address on the same page. Davis said that was particularly dangerous. "You could do something immediately," Davis said. "You could turn that into money within minutes." Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said there was no indication that this latest development was a widespread issue. He said it should not be connected to the issue in July. "They're totally different by nature." Cohen said. The two envelopes received by the Kansan contained identical information and identical cover letters. The return address listed on the envelopes delivered to the Kansan was 645 New Hampshire St, the mailing address for the Lawrence Journal-World. The envelopes delivered to the Journal-World had the return address for the Kansan. The Kansas City Star was unable to comment on its envelopes' return addresses. The Kansan made copies of all of the documents for use in this story. The original contents were returned to Bretz and Cohen Wednesday afternoon. All of the documents remained secured from the time they were received until they were returned. The copies also remain secure. None of the information will be shared. The copies will be returned to the University once the story is completed. Edited by Rachel Bock >> ARMED FORCES Doctors test troops, diagnose brain injury data ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — Before leaving Iraq, thousands of troops with the 101st Airborne Division lined up at laptop computers to take a test: basic math, identifying numbers and symbols, and identifying patterns. They pressed a button quickly to measure response time. It was all part of a fledgling Army program that records how soldiers' brains work when healthy, giving doctors baseline data to help diagnose and treat the soldiers if they suffer a traumatic brain injury — the signature injury of the Iraq war. "This allows the Army to be much more proactive," Lt. Col. Mark McGrail, division surgeon for the 101st, said. "We don't want to wait until the soldier is getting out of the Army to say, 'But I've had these symptoms.'" The mandatory brain-function tests were starting with the 101st at Fort Campbell and are expected to spread to other military bases in the next couple of months. Commanders at each base decide whether to adopt the program. SANDERSTONE The tests provide a standard, objective measurement for each soldier's reaction time, their short-term memory and other cognitive skills. That data would be used when the soldiers come home to identify mild brain trauma that could often go unnoticed and untreated. Dr. Robert Schlegel, University of Oklahoma researcher, said about 7,500 Fort Camp soldiers completed the 10-minute exams. Brain injuries caused by explosions became some of the most common combat wounds suffered in Iraq. According to the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, 30 percent of soldiers taken to Walter Reed Army Medical Center since 2003 suffered traumatic brain injuries. The brain-injury center, which has seven facilities around the country, saw 2.669 patients between 2003 and 2007. But doctors believe many less obvious brain-injury cases went undetected. Most brain injuries were mild, and soldiers could recover with rest and time away from the battlefield. But the military estimated that one-fifth of the troops with these mild injuries would have prolonged or lifelong symptoms requiring continuing care. So little is known about traumatic brain injuries that these baseline readings could become an important cornerstone for future study. Sandy Schneider, director of Vanderbilt University's brain injury rehabilitation program, said that while it was too early to tell how effective the tests might be at helping diagnose and treat brain injuries, the data could be extremely helpful for researchers. "We're finding out so much more about this injury because of this war, unfortunately," Schneider said. The 101st was the first unit to use them on a large scale for every soldier preparing to deploy. Staff Sgt. Miguel Miranda of the 101st Airborne Division concentrates on a cognitive skills test in preparation for deployment to Iraq in Fort Campbell, Ky., Sept. 7. The test records how soldiers' brains work when healthy, giving doctors data to help diagnose and treat them if they come back with a traumatic brain injury.

A judge ruled Wednesday that Currier cannot have extra break time during her nine-hour medical licensing exam to pump breast milk to feed her 4-month-old daughter. ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — A judge rejected a Harvard student's request Wednesday for extra break time during her nine-hour medical licensing exam so she could pump breast milk for her infant daughter. Sophie Currier, 33, sued after the National Board of Medical Examiners turned down her request to take more than the standard 45 minutes in breaks during the exam. She said that if she does not nurse Norfolk Superior Court Judge Patrick Brady said Currier has other options, beyond asking the board to change its rules for her. her 4-month-old daughter, Lea, or pump breast milk every two to three hours, she risks medical complications.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2007 PAGE 7A Editorial: Improper disposal of personal records and private information cause for alarm. EDITORIAL BOARD Increases in ATM fees unreasonable With banks considering following Bank of America's decision to raise prices, alternatives must be considered During years, have have spent slightly more than $4 billion in ATM fees. That number puts the average American's expense at roughly $200 a year in fees. With banks aggressively recruiting student customers, especially towards the beginning of the year, it's all the more important to recognize hidden fees and assess other options. the last few Americans Bank of America, the nation's largest bank-owned network, increased ATM fees from $2 to $3 for non-customers. That means that in addition to the fees that most banks charge for using another bank's ATM, some users could pay more than $5 per withdrawal. I LOVE EVERYBODY Although Bank of America has more than 17,000 ATM's nationwide, only 10,700 of these will adopt the fee increase. While Bank of America ATM's on college campuses will continue to be assessed the $2 fee, most others will go to the new, higher fee. The Bank of America in Lawrence is not on campus; it is located at 900 Ohio Street. As pricey as it is, it is going to get worse. Those students who are frequent ATM users and plan on maneuvering their way around the fees by not using a Bank of America ATM are not going to have success for very long. Other banking institutions have stated that they would like to raise their fees as well, but they are awaiting the public response before doing so. Wa- chovia ATM charges range from $1.50 to $2.50; they are also considering a fee hike to $3 in certain markets. Citigroup and Wells Fargo have kept their fees at $2 for the time being. Accessing an ATM is obviously convenient, and they are readily available in many locations, including on campus. However, to avoid handing over hard-earned money to withdraw more money, here are some of the available alternatives. Begin using a debit card in basic transactions instead of just using it to access money. The card automatically deducts money from a checking account. Although it may be an inconvenience, there is also always the possibility of going to the bank and withdrawing money there. If those two options are not viable, change banks. Certain banks charge no ATM fees, and as spokespersons have stated, banks are waiting for public reaction. If a bank realizes that all of its customers are leaving due to fees, they may reconsider the increase. Allow the power of market economics to take over. Banks raise their fees because of assumed inelasticity; if customers show no change in demand, the fee increases will remain. Obviously, banks have to make their money as well, but this shouldn't come at customer expense. Students who do not want to continue paying the rising fees should take advantage of the other available choices.

BURRITO-MADE EPIPHANIES MAX RINKE An open letter to Garrison Keeler Ross Stewart asks if the "A Prairie Home Companion" creator is considering a successor ROSS STEWART Dear Garrison Keeler, I'm writing you I'm writing you with the wish to make a bad situation for you a great one for me. Out of mere curiosity, who's going to take over "A Prairie Home Companion" when you retire? I know. I know, it's a rather forward question, all apologies on my part, but honestly, who's going to take over? I'd like to offer you my services in taking over your program when you become either too old or to worn-out to continue on. Your vocal style has been noted to be that of a slow hypnotic dynamic and I fear with the onset of age it will only proceed to get slower and more hypnotic; the tempo change would probably limit you to telling one story per hour and could imminently lead to the deaths of many listeners from being overly hypnotizing; I can see the headlines now:'Man hypnotized dies while driving,' 'House wife in intensive care after zoning out while using electric hand-mixer;' 'Bunt cake ruined.' Though I know I'm years away from being anywhere near the writer that you are, I think I could keep the bar high with my creativity and still keep it in a Midwestern scope. You see, you and I are not all that different, but I feel that we are different enough that I could continue onward in your tradition but improve upon the show for decades to come. I don't have any radio experience, but already this semester, two professors have told me that I should get involved in radio, with one of them telling me that I have a "radio voice," the kind of voice that I believe melts butter, similar to that of the machines in movie theats. Suppose the theatre we're recording in wants me to multi-task—well, I can melt butter, can you? I have musical background, having acted in a few musicals in high school, only one of which I sang in; but rest assured whenever "The Sound of Music" is on I sing along before the Nazis get NFL star Jim Brown (on second thought I may be thinking of "The Dirty Dozen"). I'm even enrolled in a fiction writing course this semester, and though my professor and my peers haven't workshopped one of my pieces, I know what they'll say already, "Ross, you should mail Garrison Keeler a letter and ask him to let you take over for him later on in life, you're just that good." I even have a feel for bringing in talent for the program. Just the other day was I walking downtown with my roommate when we passed a person playing maracas without a rhythm for spare change. Many a passerby didn't quite feel what she was putting down. I even chuckled at first until I listened to the rhythms she was not playing; the absence of measure and time allowed my imagination to run wild. Solo avant garde maracas would be stellar programming for "A Prairie Home Companion." So I'm set. When do you think I can start? Is there an apprentice program? Oh and do I have to wear red shoes? I think it washes me out. I'm more of a green man. Hear from you soon. I fear I may not be able to keep up with your sense of style, for I do not own a pair of red shoes. This can be changed; there are places that sell red shoes, places that I assume take Visa. Sincerely, Ross Stewart Stewart is a Wichita junior in journalism. Waxing nostalgic about childhood becomes cliché Having Nickelodeon withdrawal triggers endless—and annoying—reminiscing ZACH WHITE The following is a conversation that is statistically happening in at least two separate locations on campus at this very moment. Youth One: "Hey, you guys remember old school Nickelodeon? Man, it used to be so awesome back in the day. It used to have all the best cartoons, and game shows and real shows. You remember Stick Stickly, that Popsicle stick with the face and the googleeyes? That was so cool. Stick Stickly ruled." Youth Two: "Did you guys ever watch "Rocko's Modern Life?" That was such a great cartoon. He was a wallaby and stuff, and his dog was Spunky. You remember Heifer, his best friend, the fat cow whose family was all wolves? You remember his friend Philbert the turtle, who said, "I'm nauseous" and "fishsticks" all the time? Man that show was so awesome. That show was the best show ever." Youth Three: "Do you guys remember 'Salute Your Shorts,' that show about the summer camp? It had Donkey Lips, and that guy from 'Terminator 2' and Ug the counselor. You know, I heard that guy from Rilo Kiley was on it. And the theme song, that was so sweet. "Makes me want to fart" and all that. That show was so awesome. That show was the best show ever." Youth One: "They had so many awesome game shows too. They had "Double Dare" and "What Would You Do?" witt all the obstacles and slime and things. I totally wished I could have gotten slimed back then. It had Marc Summers. He was so awesome. Have you guys seen that new show he has on the Food Network recently about candy or something? He is so awesome. That is the best show ever." Youth Three: "There were the other games shows like 'Wild and Crazy Kids' with Omar Gooding, Cuba Jr.'s brother, "Guts" with the Aggro Crag and 'Legends of the Hidden Temple" with those guards, Olmec and some guy hosting. Those were so awesome. Those were the best game shows ever." Youth Two: "Do you guys remember "Nick News" with Linda Ellerbee? That show was kind of lame." Youth One: "Oh man, remember Snick? That was totally awesome. The orange couch up the hill, and the old purple and black logo. Remember when they had the old "All That," back when it was actually good and with funny people on it? Old Kenan and Kel, and their Good Burger stuff. That was so great. And "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?" was great. There was that campfire that they all sat around and then whoever had the story would throw the dirt into the fire and it would get all weird. That show was terrifying. I remember one about aliens or something. Snick was so awesome. That was the best block of programming ever." Youth Three: "Man, what happened to Nickelodeon? It used to be so good back in the day. But if you watch it now, it's like it sucks now. What the hell?" White is a Colorado Springs, Colo., junior in journalism.

After graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1975, he returned home to Texas and joined a theater troupe and worked as a waiter. Because of his job, he had to have a health card. Chest X-rays showed a tumor was wrapped around his aorta. He immediately went into surgery and the tumor removed. Christilles said the doctors told him that had it gone untreated, it would have been fatal in about six months. "Something inside me told me to come back to Texas and get involved in the theater troupe," Christilles said. In his 14 years as an associate professor in the department of theatre and film at the University of Kansas, Christilles has been involved in nearly every aspect of theater production. His latest work is a production of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There." The play is a sequel to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Christilles directed and designed the sets and lights for the play. He said performing for a live audience was special because the audience and performers could interact. "You just don't find it any other form," Christilles said. "It's not pre-recorded, it's not removed from the audience by distance of miles or anything like that. You're in the same room with the audience, and there you are. And that aspect of it, to me, is really, really special and excited." Christilles earned his doctorate from the University in 1990 and worked for four years in Louisiana before returning to the University in the fall of 1994. Since then, Christilles has, in a sense, directed students' lives. He said one key component of his job was to set the scene of the play long before the opening curtain. "Whenever I'm directing I just try to create an environment and atmosphere that's creative and not very high pressure so people feel to experiment and realize the joy of it, the fun of it," he said. Angela Chrysostomou, Nicosia, Cyprus junior and theatre major, has been involved in many of Christilles' shows as an actress. She said that Christies helped her become a bet- ter_actress by helping her_develop her English speaking skills. "I learned how to feel comfortable on stage," she said. Kate Giessel, Larned graduate student, completed her degrees in theater and linguistics last spring. In the summer of 2006, she and other members studied abroad with Christilles in Greece, and last summer, they went to Belgium and performed The Odyssey. "He's a great teacher because he will introduce material and then let you as a person find meaning for it," Giessel said. Christilles said that at the University, working with actors has not been difficult. He said that actors generally want everyone to succeed and to have the best performance. Shy people sometimes need a little extra help. "That's one of the things a director does is to be that bridge and a person who can move everybody along," he said. ALEXANDER TURNER In the future Christies wants to continue studying abroad during the summer and also spend more time conducting research on Greece and contemporary theater. Christies said that he advises his students the same way he does his own children.

(1) ASSOCIATED PRESS A Lebanese inspector, center, checks a dead body which lies on the ground at the scene where a powerful bomb killed a pro-government Parliament member and six other people in a Christian suburb east of Beirut, Lebanon on Wednesday. The bomb killed Antoine Ghanem, 64, a member of the right-wing Christian Phalange party. Ghanim was the eighth anti-Syria figure and fourth lawmaker from the governing coalition to be assassinated in less than three years. 》 WORLD Lebanese bomb kills seven wounds at least 67 others BY SCHEHEREZADE FARAMARZI BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP)_A powerful bomb killed an anti-Syria lawmaker and six others Wednesday in a Christian neighborhood of Beirut, threatening to derail an effort by an already divided Parliament to elect Lebanon's next president in voting that begins next week. Antoine Ghanem, a 64-year-old member of the Christian Phalange party who had returned from refuge abroad only two days earlier, was the eighth anti-Syria figure and fourth lawmaker from the governing coalition to be assassinated in less than three years. Coalition members blamed Syria. Damascus denied involvement, as it has for the previous seven assassinations, including the 2005 bombing death of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri — a killing that ignited huge protests and forced Syria to withdraw its troops after a three-decade occupation. Security officials said at least 67 people were wounded in Wednesday's blast, half of which had left the hospital by day's end. The explosion occurred at rush hour on a busy street in the Sin el-Fil district, severely damaging nearby buildings, setting several cars on fire and scattering blood and debris along the street. Explosive experts were seen checking the engine of Ghanem's car, which was thrown more than 150 feet. A security official said the bomb was likely detonated by remote control near Ghanem's car. "I have never seen a more cowardly regime than that of Bashar Assad's," lawmaker Saad Hariri said, blaming the Syrian president for Ghanem's death. Hariri replaced his father, the assassinated ex-premier, as head of anti-Syria forces, which now hold a majority in Lebanese Parliament. Cabinet member Ahmed Fafat also blamed Syria for the attack, and said Damascus wanted to derail efforts by majority and opposition leaders to reach some agreement before they begin presidential voting in Parliament on Tuesday. "It is the only regime that does not want presidential elections in Lebanon to be held" Fatat told The Associated Press. President Emile Lahoud, an ally of Syria, also implied Ghanem's death was meant to undermine the presidential vote, saying "it is no coincidence that whenever there are positive signs that someone is killed." Syria said the attack was aimed at sabotaging the efforts by the Lebanese people to reach an agreement. "This criminal act ains at undermining efforts paid by Syria and others to achieve Lebanese national accord," Syria's state-run news agency SANA quoted an anonymous Syrian official as saying. Many people fear the divisions over the presidency could lead to the creation of two rival governments, which could cause a repeat of the last two years of Lebanon's civil war from 1975 to 1990, when army units loyal to competing administrations battled it out. The United States has accused Syria of trying to undermine Lebanon's government, but has not yet tied the Damascus regime to the political killings. "The bombing that claimed these lives was another in a campaign of terror by those who want to turn back the clock on Lebanon's hard-win democratic gains," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a statement. "Enemies of peace and freedom want to gain through violence, threat, and intimidation what they cannot win in free and fair elections."

I will be there. 785-864-5823 Since then, U.S.-backed Prime Minister Fuad Saniora has been mired in a power struggle with the opposition, led by the Syrian-allied militant group Hezbollah. Government supporters said Syria wanted to end Saniora's small majority in Parliament by killing off lawmakers in his coalition, which now holds 68 seats to the opposition's 59. www.ContinuingEd.ku.edu With the loss of Ghanem and the earlier killing of Pierre Gemayel, the Phalange party — one of the main political and military powers during the 15-year civil war — now has just one representative in Parliament. After the assassination of lawmaker Walid Eido in June, some majority legislators left the country to spend the summer abroad in safety, while those who stayed took extra security. Fatfat told the AP that Ghanem had just returned Monday from an undisclosed country where he took refuge for two months. Check with your academic advisor before enrolling.

The special teams unit is lining up as senior kicker Scott Webb prepares to kick the ball away. The kick goes 70 yards deep into Toledo territory as senior kick returner Andrew Hawkins catches the ball. Hawkins runs bravely towards the vicious Kansas special teams unit before being tackled by freshman Justin Springer and junior Raymond Brown. One fan bleeds through the crowd with, "Disembowel that f- -- er!" Another fan, before Hawkins is tackled, shouts, "Cut his f- - ing throat!" Meanwhile, in the stands, a majority of the student section screams as the kick sails through the air, "Rip his f - - - ing head off" Football, often seen as one of the most violent college sports, an often times be mistaken for a battle scene in a Mel Gibson movie. It comes with no surprise that fans did not yell, "Hit him ever so softly" after the kickoff. Though screaming obscenities at the away team may seem a bit excessive, violent chants have become the norm around college stadiums throughout the country. Some students at Rutgers University took their chants a little too far in a home game against the U.S. Naval Academy in early September. Their cheers turned into jeers every time Navy had possession of the ball and their profanities were directed not only towards the Navy football team, but also towards Navy fans and midshipmen, who were in uniform. Granted we live in a society where our servicemen defend our liberties and rights, to say "F- - - you Navy," is just plain rude. So rude, in fact, that Rutgers University Athletics Director Bob Mulcahy issued a public statement of apology to Navy. Unfortunately, some fans, and even some mascots, have taken their passion for their team way too far and have actually committed violent acts. A week before the duck incident, an Oklahoma fan faced aggravated assault charges for a crime of passion against a University of Texas fan. Allen Michael Beckt, a 53-year-old church deacon, was in an Oklahoma City when 32-year-old Brian Thomas walked in wearing a Texas Longhorns shirt. Some words were exchanged, signaling a warning for Thomas to pay his bar tab and exit. Before exiting, Beckt grabbed Thomas' groin and would not let go. By the time Beckt's hand was pulled from Thomas' bleeding groin, his testicles hung outside of his torn scrotum. On Sept. 1 in Eugene, Ore., fans cheered as Oregon University mascot, Donald Duck, beat up Houston University's mascot Ultimate Fighting Championship style. After a combination of kicks and punches, Shasta the cougar was left defenseless on the ground. The duck added insult to injury by finishing the beat down by "teabagging" the wounded cougar. As a result of Donald Duck's assault, he was suspended for one game. These two particular incidents show how an innocent passion for one's team can turn into violence. When it is game day it may seem easier than ever to fall into a mob-mentality and bash another team and its sports fans.

Freshman guard Chase Buford said Jayhawk players direct all their technology questions to Kaun. Kaun's computer expertise helped him land an internship this past summer with Perceptive Software, a Shawnee-based company that develops a document-organizing product called ImageNow. Years of hard work and a passion for computers helped Kaun become a major contributor for Perceptive Software. "He's a wiz with computers," Buford said. "From everything I know, he's a smart guy." Kaun has been around computers and enjoyed working with them for as long as he can remember. His love for computers comes from his dad, who was a developer in Russia. When the dean of Kaun's department recommended him to Perceptive Software for a month-long July internship, Kaun was excited. Immediately after he started working, Perceptive Software gave Kaun instructions for a project and told him to finish it by the end of the month.

Hugh Khan Kaun's supervisor at Perceptive software No.1 doubles duo serves up fall season BY PAT TEFFT ptefft@kansan.com After finishing last season as All-Big 12 performers and posting a 23-9 record, the duo has their sights set firmly on the slate of fall tournaments beginning this weekend. Great things come in pairs. For Elizaveta Avdeeva and Edina Horvath, they will try to translate a good partnership into another successful season on the tennis court. The Kansas tennis season begins Friday at the Cissie Leary Tournament in Philadelphia. The following weekend Avdeeva, Obinnsk, Russia senior, and Horvath, Budapest, Hungary junior, will travel to Pacific Pallisades, Calif., where they were selected to compete in the qualifying draw of the ITA All-American Championships. Invitations to this highly selective tournament are based on rankings and recommendations. They will compete against 23 other pairs in hopes to qualify for a spot in the main draw. Avdevea and Horvath are confident going in and considered qualifying for the main draw a top goal for the fall season. "We are so excited. We have nothing to lose," Avdeeva said. "We are going to just play as we usually play, with lots of energy." Unifying with a partner on the tennis court is not always easy. Both Avdeeva and Horvath stressed the need for good communication and emotional support as keys to success. "If Edina sees that I'm down she tells me 'come on Liza, we can do it', Avdeeva said. "I can miss three balls in a row and she would never say 'why are you playing so bad?' She just tells me 'it's okay Liza, I will get the next one'" The pair credited their positive relationship off the court as a big factor in their success. "It is really important for me to have a partner who is a good friend," Horshain said. Avdeeva and Horvath will try to use then experience as partners to get a heads up on the competition. They have played in the No. 1 doubles slot since fall of last year. KANSAS KU TENNIS Junior Edina Horvath and senior Elizaveta Avdeveva will participate in the Cissie Leary tournament in Philadelphia this week. The pair finished with a 23-9 record last season. VOLLEYBALL Kansas defeats Missouri 3-2 in Border Showdown 92 KANSAS BY RUSTIN DODD Andrew Wacker/KANSAI dodd@kansan.com Brown, senior right side/setter and four-year starter, played about three careers worth of volleyball games in a Kansas uniform. But after posting 12 kills, 29 assists and seven digs to lead Kansas to its first conference road victory since 2005 and its first victory at Missouri since 2001, she conceded that might have been her finest hour at Kansas. Twenty minutes after Kansas' 3-2 (30-23, 26-30, 20-30, 30-28, 15-7) victory against Missouri, Emily Brown stood on the baseline of the Hearnes Center; surrounded by a throng of Jawhawk fans. "Wow," Brown, Baldwin City, said. "Zero and 10 on the road last year, not one road win. That's just shows our team and our young players that we're not going to repeat last year." Katie Martinich, sophomore setter, serves the ball in game one of the five game match at Missouri Wednesday night. The Jayhawks went on to win the match 3-2. But for a while on Wednesday night, it seemed like they might. TURNING POINT Kansas trailed 24-22 in game four, only six Missouri points away from a loss. But the Jayhawks went on a five-point run, punctured by a Flavia Lino block, and took a 27-24 lead. Kansas closed out the game 30-28. game five. With Kansas holding a 6-5 advantage, coach Ray Bechard inserted Wittenauer to serve. Kansas reeled off an 8-0 run behind the strength of Wittenauer's serving and gained a 14-5 lead. With the momentum in tow Kansas rolled over "We know that's a situation she's comfortable Missouri in game five, 15-7 and clinched the match. Sarah Wittenauer, sophomore defensive specialist/setter, proved to be the unlikely hero in "That just shows our team and our young players that we're not going to repeat last year." EMILY BROWN Right side /setter Jenna Kaiser, freshman outside hitter, finished things off for Kansas with one of her 12 kills in its first conference victory of the year. Kansas improved to 8-5 and 1-2 in the Big 12. Missouri dropped to 7-4 and 0-2 in the Big 12. not shes comfortable in," Bechard said. "She was the key to that run."

Luckily for Mangino and Warinner, Reeing has flourished as the field general of the new system. But that may not be purely coincidental – the team's new offense fits the team's new quarterback like a glove. "What we're trying to do suits Todd," Warinner said. "We play to his strengths by trying to keep the field spread out. He can look around and see who he wants to throw to and it gives him some options." Reeing, who played at Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas, is no stranger to the style of offense that Warinner installed. During his high school career, Reeing took snaps in the shotgun formation with four wide receivers – the same kind of offense he commands at Kansas. The possibilities are more varied in a college offense, Reeing said, but the bootleg passing plays and read-option running plays are similar to the schemes he used at Lake Travis. "There are definitely a lot of similarities." Reeing said. "It has helped me feel more comfortable because I did it for three years in high school, so it's helped me adjust." PETER BAKER Reeing seems to have mastered any sort of Reesing adjustments he has faced as a starter thus far. Through three games he has completed 56 percent of his passes for 831 yards and thrown 10 touchdowns without a single interception. Reesing's 174.49 passing efficiency rating ranks second in the Big 12 behind Oklahoma's Sam Bradford, and 10th in the nation, near famous names like Colt Brennan of Hawaii and Brian Brohm of Louisville, Ky. "We just want him to operate our offense, be a leader and execute plays," Mangino said. "If he does the things he's supposed to do, some respect and national attention could be a byproduct of taking care of business here." Reesing's numbers might be even more impressive had Kansas receivers not dropped eight catchable passes last week against Toledo. Despite the dropped passes, he bounced back and finished with 313 passing yards and 19 rushing yards. Mangino said the quarterback's ability to deal with adversity was one of the ways he had exceeded the coaching staff's expectations. Reesing's rushing total included an impressive 13-yard option scamper around the right edge of the offensive line - a play Kansas used several times against an aggressive Toledo defense. Each new wrinkle the coaches throw into the offense could be a surprise to fans, media and especially opposing defenders. But chances are Reeing will have seen it before. leaderboard Edited by Elizabeth Cattell Big 12 Conference passing efficiency SAM BRADFORD - Oklahoma, 219.50,79.7,823,11/1 Name, School, Passing efficiency , Completion %, Yards, TD/INT TODD REESING - Kansas, 174.49, 56.3, 831, 10/1 GRAHAM HARRELL - Texas Tech, 170.52, 75.0, 1317, 14/2 CHASE DANIEL - MISSOURI, 147.48, 66.9, 1017, 10/2 BLAKE SYZMANSKI - BAYLOR, 136.77, 57.3, 1039, 11/5 Kansas earns national attention K-STATE GAME SOLD OUT JAYHAWKS DON'T CHEAT FOOTBALL Kansas has been more than just efficient in all aspects of its game this season; it has been disciplined. The Jayhawks are tied for second nationally with an average of only 3.67 penalties per game. Iowa State is currently first in the nation, averaging 3.33 per game, and Wake Forest is tied with Kansas for second. The shortage of false-start and delay-of-game penalties could be because of sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing's command of the offense, offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said. According to the Kansas State Athletics Department, the Oct. 6 Sunflower Showdown between Kansas and Kansas State is now sold out The official game time and television availability will be announced next Monday. NATIONAL ATTENTION Junior cornerback Qaib Talibs strong play through the first three games of the season has earned him more attention from national media. Rivals.com moved Talib to the top of its defensive back power rankings after recording six tackles and one interception against Toledo last week. Kansas offensive coordinator Ed Warinner also earned inclusion in the Web site's rankings — he is ranked No. 20 in the offensive coach category. FOCUSING ON FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL Russell Brorsen said. "If you watch them on film, it doesn't match up with their stats. They're very disciplined and very fast." Florida International's losing streak is currently the longest of any Division I Football Bowl Subdivision team. Kansas' opponent this week, Florida International, may be in the middle of a 15-game losing streak, but the layhawks are not taking the game lightly. "They're a different team this year than they have been in the past," junior defensive end Asher Fusco FOOTBALL Florida International ready for new start BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com The Florida International football team, Kansas' next opponent, is infamous. And its infamy doesn't come from off the field issues with its players. In fact, the Golden Panthers' reputation stems from a singular on-the-field incident. Florida International players were part of a monumental brawl during a game with cross-town rival, the University of Miami, less than a year ago. Although the Golden Panthers' 2007 roster consists of fifteen players that were suspended for taking part in the fight, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said new Florida International coach Mario Cristobal has changed the team's culture. "Their new coach has brought some structure and discipline to the program," Mangino said. "It's quite obvious by watching them." Cristobal was hired for the head coaching vacation this off-season after former coach Don Strock resigned before the end of last year. Strock didn't find much success on the FIU sidelines in his five years with only 15 wins and 41 losses. But Strock's five years were also the program's first five years. The football team is now in its sixth year and the goal is simple: be competitive. The scuffle that made national headlines last October just makes Cristobol's task in getting to that point tough. Add in that the Golden Panthers posses the nation's longest losing steak, at 15 games, and a successful program seems generations away. Cristobal doesn't see it that way, though. He said he was enthusiastic about the way his team had played so far this season. "Slowly but surely our guys are understanding the process a little better and understanding our schemes better and sure as heck are putting every ounce of effort results Florida International's 2007 results: Sept. 1 at (17) Penn State: LOSS, 59-0 Sept. 15 at Miami (FL): **LOSS**, 23-9 Sept. 8 Maryland: LOSS. 26-10 into it," Cristobal said. "We feel like every single week we are going to take steps and push forward." So far, the Golden Panthers have gotten better every week. They suffered a demoralizing 59-0 thrashing at the hands of Penn State in their first game of the season, but then only lost by 16 points to Maryland. And last week, it played evenly with Miami for most of the game in a 23-9 loss. Mangino noticed the improvements and said Florida International's encounters with nationally-recognized teams made it a prepared opponent. "They played Miami toe-to-toe and a good Maryland team very well," Mangino said. "They are used to playing in big venues so this is a game we have to get ready for." Two teams from Florida International's conference, the Sun Belt, pulled upsets last weekend when Troy piled points on Oklahoma State and Florida Atlantic beat Minnesota. But Florida International has never finished in the top half of the Sun Belt standings or enjoyed a winning season. With a new coach and an urge to distant themselves from the events of last October, however, the Golden Panthers have to start somewhere. They'll try to make that somewhere Memorial Stadium this Saturday. - Rachel Bock CRIME ASSOCIATED PRESS Police arrest Missouri football players Police arrested two reserve defenders on the Missouri football team in separate incidents. John Stull, a redshirt freshman and defensive lineman, was arrested by Columbia police early Monday on a municipal assault charge, police said. A 26-year-old man told police that Stull punched him in the mouth in the parking lot of a local restaurant. The pair argued over money owed from damage to an apartment, the victim said. The fight took place about 4 a.m. on Sept. 6. Stull, Missouri's No. 2 defensive end behind starter Stryker Sulak, is on two years of unsupervised probation for a misdemeanor peace disturbance conviction from February 2006. The former Rock Bridge High School star has made one tackle in three games this year. Athletic Department spokesman Chad Molder said Stull's status with the team was being reviewed by coach Gary Pinkel. Columbia police also arrested backup linebacker Steve Redmond and former Missouri softball player Kendra Power at 3 a.m. Sunday on suspicion of throwing a nuisance party at their home. Both were issued summons and released. 图 ZLB Plasma NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma.

As Big 12 play nears, students should realize many of the fans for opposing teams in conference are similar to Kansas' fans. Some of you may travel to Manhattan for Kansas' match up against Kansas State. Some of you may even venture as far as College Station to see Kansas play Texas A&M. When Edited by Rachel Bock you travel to one of these conference schools, take notice of its fans. Some of them will heckle and taunt you, which is can be expected. I hope those of you who travel to away games do not have to experience your cars being vandalized or batteries being thrown at you. Just remember, even in college football, the golden rule, treat others as you would treat yourself, still applies and it should be taken into consideration for the away team and its fans. KAUN (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Sound complicated? Not for Kaun. He found it easy, just like all his academic endeavours. Few high-profile college athletes boast his academic achievements. He's a two-time member of the Academic All-Big 12 First Team and a four-time member of the Athletic Director and Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Rolls. Kaun is on track to graduate in the spring with a degree in computer science. His supervisor at Perceptive Software, Hugh Khan, quickly discovered Kaun was as good of a worker as he was an athlete. "He never exhibited a hint of arrogance one might expect from a star athlete," Khan said. "He wanted to be had to sit through staff meetings just like he has to sit through team meetings for the lawhayes. The computer software business, Kaun said, was also all about victories. productive right away. He's easily one of the best interns we've had. And yes, we are using the diagnostic tool he wrote for us." "You still try to win and beat the market," he said. "You have different parts working together to come up with different strategies." The Perceptive Software internship doesn't mean Kaun is ready to give up "I want to stay and play as long as I can and make as much money as possible. All this developing stuff can come later. But I definitely want to come back to it." Kaun may not have wanted his fellow employees to see him as a basketball player, but he often thought of basketball while working. His boss and co-workers reminded him of Kansas coach Bill Self and his teammates. He SASHA KAUN Senior center basketball yet as a post-college career. As a 6-foot-11 center who's only been playing basketball since the 10th grade, he's attracted interest from the NBA as a possible second round pick. If Kaun develops consistency this season and improves last year's averages of 7.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, his draft status could rise even higher. "I want to stay and play as long as I can and make as much money as possible," Kaun said. "All this developing stuff can come later. But I definitely want to come back to it." Edited by Elizabeth Cattell But Avdevae and Horvath said that experience playing with each other was not as important as some believe it to be. Both bring their own set of skills to the partnership. TENNIS (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "Liza plays very well at the baseline. I like to move more at the net," Horvath said. The tennis team plays five tournaments in the fall. In these tournaments, players play their own draw, meaning wins and losses are not factored into a team score. Instead they only affect each individual player's ranking. The team plays duals with other schools in the spring season followed by post-season tournaments. Avdevea and Horvath said that the fall season was just as important as the spring, but they will use these tournaments as a way to gear up for the spring season. "Our goal for the fall is to win all our matches and just finish on a high level," Horvath said.

Mark Dent Season practice prepares team for Big 12 Relays SWIMMING BY SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com Adam MacDonald/KANSAN The University of Kansas swimming and diving team began its first practice Sept. 10 after completing a month of preseason workouts. The team's practice time increased to 20 hours each week, called a "20-hour mode," which includes water and dry land training. Ashley Leidigh, Merriam, Kan. junior, swims warm-up laps before practice Wednesday afternoon at the Robinson Center. Team practices began this week, while the first meet is set for October 19 in Amara, Iowa for the Pia 12 "We have kind of had a slow, steady start to the season," coach Clark Campbell said. "We started a preseason conditioning program on Aug. 20 and we have been adding a workout each week." The Big 12 Relays, held in Ames, Iowa, is the first competition for the Jayhawks this season and is the first test for Kansas. Kansas placed third at the Big 12 Championship in March and qualified two swimmers for the NCAA Championships in Minneapolis. This year's team includes 10 new athletes, nine freshmen and one transfer student, all of whom compete for positions on this season's travel squad. "We will do some racing in practice and give people a chance before we set the squad for the Big 12 Relays," Campbell said. The swimming and diving season spans more than a four-month period and culminates with the NCAA Championships in Columbus, Ohio. Campbell said that the team was planning to enter some athletes in the Olympic trial cuts at Stanford in April. Although the season is still young, Campbell is looking forward to several meets on this year's schedule. He said he always looked forward to competing at Missouri and was also really anticipating the Kenyon Nike Invite and the Houston Diving Invitational, both held in November.

The Mason XS defeated the Royals, 7-0. White Sox defeat Royals, 7-0 Game marks 40th multihomer in Thome's career ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Jim Thome hit two home runs, Jose Contreras threw a five-hitter and the Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 7-0 on Wednesday night. Thome homered with one out in the third and leading off the fifth, bringing his career total to 502 and his season total to 30. Thome, who had 36 home runs in 141 games against the Royals, has hit 30 or more home runs in 11 of the past 12 years. It was Thome's 40th career multi-homer game. His previous was Aug. 18 at Seattle. Contreras (10-16) held the Royals to one hit — a Billy Butler second inning single — in the first five innings. He did not allow a runner reach second until Jason LaRue's one-out double in the sixth. LaRue had two of the Royals hits. Contreras, who won his fourth straight decision, walked one, while striking out six in his third career shutout. His previous was May 10 at Minnesota. The five hits were a career low for Contreras in a shutout. Bannister also gave up a two-run homer to Juan Uribe in the fourth. The White Sox scored two runs in the first on two hits and a walk. Paul Konerko's ground out scored Josh Fields, who had walked and stopped at third on Thome's double. Jermaine Dye singled home Thome. The veteran right-hander, who never allowed a runner to reach third base, was 0-2 with a 7.30 ERA in his previous two starts this season against Kansas City. The White Sox added a run in the seventh off left-hander Jorge De La Rosa when Dye's single scored Fields. ASSOCIATED PRESS Brian Bannister (12-9), an American League Rookie of the Year candidate who was 7-2 in his previous 11 starts, was roughed up for six runs and eight hits, including three home runs, in five innings. The Royals have lost 11 of 14 to drop into the AL Central cellar, a half-game behind the White Sox.

VOLLEYBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) EARLY SUCCESS Everything went easy for Kansas early. Kansas utilized an efficient offense to triumph 30-22 in game one. Five players registered at least three kills, while Kaiser was perfect with three kills on three attempts. Brown had six assists to go along with two kills of her own. Katie Martincich, sophomore setter, added four assists and made two plays worthy of a second look. With Kansas leading 23-16, Martincich fished a ball out of the net and set the ball perfectly to Kaiser. Then the sophomore clinched game one with a rare kill from settor position. Martincich found a hole in the middle of the Missouri defensive and dropped a ball in to win the game. MISSOURI'S RESILIENCE Kansas held on to a tight lead for most of game two, and after one of junior middle blocker/ right side Savannah Noyes' eight kills clipped the line, the Jayhawks led 17-14. But Missouri won the next three points and a Weiwen Wang kill gave Missouri an 18-17 lead. Missouri never trailed again and closed out the game 30-26 on a kill from sophomore Megan Wilson. A stifling Missouri defense derailed Kansas in game three. Missouri took control early and cruised to a 30-20 win. Bechard said he thought his team lost its early momentum during its game-one win. "Sometimes it's how you finish a game, and not how you start," he said. "Even though we won game won, we were back on our heels late in the game, and that carried over to games two and three." Edited by Meghan Murphy 7 Emily Brown, senior setter/outside hitter, attempts a kill during Wednesday night's game at Missouri. Brown finished with twelve kills on the nighth. gamenotes UHART UPDATE Junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart missed her ninth consecutive match with a undisclosed medical issue. But Coach Bechard said in a statement on Monday that he expected Uhart to recover and return the to the team. "Right now, it's a day-to-day process," Bechard said. Uhart last played against Michigan State on Aug. 31. The volleyball team gained the first points for Kansas in the annual Border Showdown between Kansas and Missouri. Last year Missouri won the all-sport showdown 25-14. The Border Showdown is in its sixth year. BORDER SHOWDOWN UP NEXT Kansas returns home to play Texas Tech at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Unlike many of the Kansan's daily hard-news stories, the features in our special sections are conversational and much more fun. But when I remembered that one of my duties as special sections editor would be organizing "Sex on the Hill," I was slightly nervous. I'm a conservative person. I'm engaged, but that doesn't mean that I know any more super-special sex and relationship secrets than any of you do. Luckily, Kansas writers found people who were willing to share their experiences, and we tried to provide interesting stories for people at all stages of sexual discovery, especially the other shy, sheltered students at the University like me. Returning students will also notice that the section is larger than it has ever been before thanks to the advertising staff's hard work. In fact, we had to split "Sex on the Hill" into two sections; so be sure to look at both parts. I hope this year's "Sex on the Hill" is everything you hoped it would be and it gets you excited for our two other special sections this semester, "Homecoming" and "Winter Gift Guide." And as always, we want to hear from you. Whether you absolutely love the section or you think we let you down, feel free to e-mail me. credits Photo illustration by Anna Faltermeler Publisher Editor-in-Chief Managing Editors Photo illustration by Anna Faltermann Advertising Director Special Sections Editor Design Chiefs Copy Chiefs Photo Editor Senior Photographer Photographers The University Daily K Erick R.

Fans can watch the reruns, but even desperate enthusiasts find it hard to watch those watered-down versions of the show. However, the withdrawal will soon come to an end. Both "Entertainment Weekly" and "Vanity Fair" have reported that the "Sex and the City" movie is back on track and will begin filming in September. Much to the excitement of fans, HBO's online news blog, The Buzz, confirms this. "I'm excited for it because when the show stopped I was hoping there was something more to come," said Stephanie Hotujec, Gladstone, Mo., freshman. "I want Carrie and Big to end up together. That's why I want to see it." Each of the four main actresses, Sarah Jessica Parker, as Carrie Bradshaw, Kim Cattrall, or Samantha Jones, Kristin Davis, as Charlotte York, and Cynthia Nixon, as Miranda Hobbes, have signed contracts to be in the movie. However, Chris Noth, who portrays Mr. Big, is the only actor from the end of the series to sign on so far. This cast brought plots concerning every aspect of relationships, friendships and modern life to television. "There is an episode for every topic: bad breakups, petty girls, broken friendships, fashion, managing money and obviously sex," said Anna Allen, Lawrence freshman. "It was always a relief to sit down to watch it, and see an episode you could relate with in one way or another. It talks about life in an honest way." The show was a forerunner in the frank discussion of sex and relationships, as well as a showcase for single women at the millennium. It created many catalysts for discussion, as well as memorable fashion trends. "I think the show has opened up a lot of sex issues that were previously taboo and changed people's ideas of what is appropriate to talk about, maybe even giving them ideas," said Morgan Smith, Topea freshman."The 'Sex and the City' movie is going to be the highlight of my year, and I will camp outside of the theater to get tickets if I have to." Ultimately, the core of the show wasn't about sex, but the friendship of the four main characters. Yes, Big was integral to the show, but he never would have gone to Paris to get Carrie if it hadn't been for Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha. "It's made me realize how important friendships are," said Stephanie Graham, Wichita freshman. HBO's Web site reports that the creative team behind the show will be the same for the movie. Although no release date has been issued, students can expect the same high standards of refreshing dialogue, realistic relationships and cute shoes as the show.

Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and the important thing is to be confident in yourself.** *Photo illustration by Anna Faltemeyer* Photo illustration by Anna Faltermier BYVANESSA CUNNINGHAM editor@kansan.com When summer rolls around, the amount of clothing worn ranges from little to none. Strapless shirts, short shorts and tank tops bare it all. The pressure to be appealing comes from everywhere including the covers of Cosmopolitan and programs on MTV. So what's behind all the hype of hitting the gym twice a week just to expose a little skin here and there? Sex. "I like to do it in the dark because it allows the girl to open up more and be less self-conscience;" said John White, Lenexa junior. Whether you do it in the dark or in a room full of bright lights, there's no doubt that both men and women are concerned with the way their bodies look during sexual intimacy. "I prefer the lights on because when I have sex with my partner, I want to enjoy all of him physically and intimately," said Jessica Hall, Overland Park freshman. sex and body image is not strictly an issue that women deal with. Men are also susceptible to poor body image. Each year an increasing amount of men undergo plastic surgery. The Cosmetic Surgery Directory stated that in 2004 there were 1,192,470 cosmetic procedures performed on men. This number has increased 16 percent since 2000. Not only do members of both sexes focus on daily appearances, but a recent study shows that men often are not satisfied with the size of their penises and woman desire fuller and more succulent breasts. The study also stated that 85 percent of women are not as concerned with the "size of the boat," and most men are very content with the size of a woman's breasts. Another study conducted by assistant professors Charlotte and Patrick Markey from Rutgers and Villanova universities indicated that men pay more attention to their looks when deciding whether to engage in sexual activity. "As confident as I am with my body, I still feel unsure of myself while hooking up," said Janet Spurskey, Greensville senior. "Men are so concerned about the size of their penis, but in all actuality it's about how they work it," said Chastity Jones, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore. The truth about sex and body image may be shocking news to many, but it should be a breath of fresh air for others. With so many demands in life, perfecting one's body for the opposite sex is just another burden to add. Don't intensify issues that really aren't that big of a deal. So the next time you're worried about hooking up after a late night of fun or wearing that revealing outfit, relax. Being confident and cozy in your own skin can do much more than you ever thought it could. Edited by Jeff Briscoe GIVE A LITTLE GET A LOT.

I would say that I just like to explore all the options. Most college-aged guys have been confronted with this potentially mind-boggling decision. How do you know which brand and style of condom to choose? Are you a beginner, and unsure about your bedroom capabilities? Or are you bored with your current sexual situation and looking to spice things up? The following is a guide I have compiled of the more popular styles of condoms on the market today. The prices are taken from Wal-Mart Ratings are out of five stars. TROJAN SUPRA CONDOMS Price: $6.92 Rating: ★★★☆☆ Rating: On the box: "An ultra thin polyurethane condom for your ultimate sensual pleasure." Analysis: The Supra condoms are for those unfortunate souls who experience allergic reactions when their skin comes in contact with latex. These contain no latex allergens, and are made especially thin for increased sensitivity. Also, according to the description on the box, they are designed to transmit natural body heat, which is a definite plus. Since I do not have a problem with latex, I have never had to experiment with the Supra line, but the fact that they are compatible with both water and oil-based lubricants is certainly enticing. I had to learn the hard way about the effects of an oil-based lubricant on latex as a sophomore in high school. Awhile after applying the lube, we realized that the condom had almost completely disintegrated. Needless to say, that was the scariest month of my life. Anything goes for lube with the Supra condoms — not to mention the fact that they come without that rubbery latex smell, which can be a real buzz kill. TROJAN ULTRA THIN LUBRICATED CONDOMS Price: $5.36, or $5.64 with spermicidal lubricant Rating: ★★★★★ On the box: "Our thinnest latex condom ever!" Analysis: If you don't have a problem with latex, and you're looking for the most natural feeling, the Ultra Thin is the way to go. When I use some of the standard sizes, or fits that have thick ribs, it feels as if I'm strapping a leather belt to my member. They're way too thick! The Ultra Thins, on the other hand, are 25 percent thinner than the CONTINUED ON PAGE 7A ROCK OUT WITH YOUR JOCK OUT New expanded women's section 837 Mass St. Downtown Lawrence 842-2442 | 1443 W. 23rd St. 043-2432 www.jocksnitch.com Half off Lube, oil, filter, & tire rotation (for most cars) with KU ID We service cars top to BOTTOM •A/C services •Oil & brake services •Guaranteed transmissions •Preventative maintenance GATEWAY Auto Service 841-5700 • 534 Gateway Drive DAILY KANSAN TEMBER 20, 2007 SEN on the Hill 7A ALAMO 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

To many, that's an automatic red flag. But Trojancondoms.com assures the buyer that this style goes through the same electronic testing and close inspection as the rest. TROJAN INTENSE RIBBED CONDOMS Price: $5.98 Rating: ★★★★☆ Rating. On the box: "Intense ribs for intense pleasure!" Analysis: The Intense Ribbed is most likely the only specialty style I tend to endorse. These are well lubricated, so a lack of sensitivity will not be as much of an issue. The special outer ribs are placed near the base and the tip to give that extra stimulation to both partners. They're a great cure if you're stuck in a standard condom rut, but I would not suggest using them every time, because they are still thicker, and they take away more of that natural feeling. TROJAN HER PLEASURE LUBRICATED CONDOMS Price: $5.64, or $6.42 with spermicidal lubricant Rating: ★★★★☆ On the box: "Do something good for her. It's bound to be good for you." Analysis: The Her Pleasures have a unique texture with shape and location similar to some of Trojan's other ribbed condoms. However, the texturing seems to be much more discreet in this line. If I'm looking to try something with ribs and/or twists, I need to be able to see and feel them, and so does my partner. Although my friends and I have argued about this, I feel that this line of Trojan is overrated. I find myself going back to the Her Pleasure every now and then, but there just does not seem to be anything extraordinary about them. Obviously, satisfaction also depends on your partner's preference. Mike Ratkovitch, Mequon, Wis., sophomore, said the Her Pleasure condoms compared well to Trojan's other specialty condoms. "I have used Trojan's Warming Sensations condoms and the Her Pleasures, but I don't think there is a huge, noticeable difference between the two," Ratkovitch said. "Compared to some of the other condoms, the Her Pleasures are pretty good." While my rating of the Her Pleasure is frosty at best, I would still suggest buying a box for yourself to try them out. Preferences tend to vary on this one. TROJAN SHARED PLEASURE CONDOMS WITH WARM SENSATIONS LUBRICANT Price: $5.64 Rating: ★★★☆☆ On the box: "Trojan Shared Pleasure Condoms with Warm Sensations Lubricant help enhance sensual pleasure for both partners." Analysis: These are exciting for about five minutes until the warming lubricant wears away. Then you're back to the original. On the box: "Trojan Extended Pleasure have a special lubricant that helps to control climax and prolong lasting lovemaking." Analysis: These condoms are a waste of $6. When they say these condoms will "prolong lasting lovemaking," what they really mean is: "We're taking away all the feeling from your genitalia and sucking all the fun out of the experience." If you don't want to take my word for it, get ready for some of the worst sex you'll ever have. Not only does it numb you while you're wearing it, but it continues to work after you have taken the condom off. This fact freaked me out the first and only time I tried this kind. I was ready to head to the ER, but fortunately some cold water and a washcloth took care of the problem. Don't get me wrong: If I were inexperienced, I had a problem with premature ejaculation or I found myself in bed with Jessica Alba, I would probably reach for the Extended Pleasures. However, because I'm not currently meeting these criteria, I would have to give them two thumbs way limp. DUREX BRAND EXTRA SENSITIVE Price: $3.72, or $4.94 with ribs Rating: ★★★☆★ On the box: "Super thin for more feeling" Analysis: Though I'm not a frequent user of the Durex brand condoms, I have several friends who stay very faithful to them. What I do know is that Durex condoms tend to fit more snugly, which can sometimes be a little uncomfortable. However, these are some of the thinnest condoms on the market. I would go with the ribbed because of the size difference. DUREX BRAND PLEASUREMAX Price: $4.94 Rating: ★★★☆☆ On the box: "Shaped and textured to intensify sensation." Analysis: I have never used this line of Durex, but I was able to find a few people who have enjoyed the Shared Pleasure's low latex odor, wider contour shape and ribbed and studded exterior. Jon Denning, Valley Center freshman, said the Pleasuremax did the trick if you were "feeling saucy," though he still preferred Trojans in most cases. Denning also noted another concern with the Durex Brand. "The main difference I notice between Trojan and Durex is the size," Denning said. "It feels like Durex runs a little small and thin, which is never good." DUREX PLEASURE PACK Price: $7.86 for 24 Rating: ★★★★☆ (based on quantity, not quality) On the box: "Durex Pleasure Pack Assorted Condoms put some adventure in your love life." Analysis: If you're going for inexpensive excitement, the Pleasure Pack economy-size might be a good idea. They include a combination of creative lubes, textures, and flavors. I have never found much use in flavored condoms, however. Apparently, neither has Mike Ratkovitch. "The flavored condoms are pointless, and they smell weird. Stay away from them," Ratkovitch said. Finally, I would offer some general rules and warnings: If you're buying condoms for the first time, don't go for the gusto immediately by buying some of the gimmicky lines. Gain some experience with the original lubed or thin condoms before all the intense ribbed, double studded stuff. Also, if you have the cash, go for the Trojans. They are the "No.1 most-trusted condom" for a reason. The price difference between Trojan and Durex certainly isn't insurmountable. Besides, you get what you pay for, and sexual protection is certainly something you should want to invest a little more money in. Be wary of some of the lubes you use with latex condoms, never double-bag, and remember to base your decisions not only on your preferences but on the preferences of your partner. No one likes a selfish lover. Be safe, be sturdy and, whenever you're buying your next box of condoms, think of me. - Edited by Matt Erickson TROJAN EXTENDED PLEASURE CONDOMS WITH CLIMAX CONTROL LUBRICANT Price: $5.64 Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ Car trouble?

HOW PICKY CAN YOU BE BY STEVEN KARLIN editor@kansan.com Have you ever broken up with someone because they had smelly feet? Matt Cole has. Being too picky often presents a problem in relationships. Whether a girl's nose is too big or a gi.y's biceps are too small, pickiness is usually looked down upon. Cole, an Overland Park junior, managed to cover up his shallow reasoning with an acceptable excuse. "If you dump someone for a specific reason, that's probably too picky. But if it's just generally not working, you're being selective," Cole said. But when is the line crossed between being too picky and being selective? Students vary on how long they think daters should stay in relationships to guarantee not being labeled as too picky. Emily Bruschi, Leawood junior, thinks that a couple of weeks are necessary. "Anything less than that and you don't have time to get to know them," Bruschi said. Brian Giebink, Rolla, Mo, senior. agreed. "If you're going on a different date every week,you're being too picky," Giebink said. Students agree that there is a difference between knowing exactly what daters are after and being picky or selective. TOO SKINNY TOO HAIRY TOO TALL "You should give the relationship at least three dates. Then you know if their personality is what you're looking for," Giebink Finding the right partner can be *be* a daunting task. But being too selective can cause problems of its own.

Advertisements are saturated with pretty faces or bodies. It seems as if our society, our friends, our significant others, the media, and our own bodies demand sex. Understanding these demands and influences is a complicated process. Although biologically we may encounter some of the same emotions, drives and desires pertaining to sex, we all come from different backgrounds. Everyone is influenced differently by society. BY JOE GARVEY editor@kansan.com It doesn't matter how many years you have stayed a virgin. It doesn't matter that you've been shown a million slides in high school of people with STDs causing their genitals to puff up like red cauliflower. Promises to your family, your friends and even to your God may not be enough. In college, the occasion or opportunity for sex is going to present itself if you are in any way a social person. Omri Gillath is an assistant professor of psychology who teaches classes about close relationships and sexuality at the University of Kansas. Gillath said that this sexual exposure was a product of natural human sexuality. "When people have very strong religious beliefs, they are often willing to pressure their representatives to pass laws based on those religious beliefs," said Carolyn Johnson, an adjunct lecturer in constitutional law. "In general, people are allowed to have laws as long as there is a majority supporting them, even if the law has some moral or religious basis." "Sex sells." said. "Gaining information from sexual programming is a good first step. Obviously when we're surfing the Net we're not thinking evolution or survival. But the fact that it's implicit doesn't mean it's not there. Plus, there is nothing wrong with some virtual practice to improve the chance of success when encountering the real thing." But is it our biological drive that influences media producers and advertisers to put so much stock in sexual programs? Or is it the media that affects us? Gillath said it was both. Religion can also play a huge role in sexuality. "If you have been raised thinking that sex is dirty or wrong, you might develop a negative scheme and try to avoid sex, although deep down you have the same drives and desires," Gillath said. Religion has also been known to influence some lawmakers in policy making decisions regarding sexuality. "We are motivated to succeed in the love game, and we'll do whatever we can to win." Gillath said. "Using the heavy traffic on pornography sites as evidence, people look for sex in order to explore or enjoy it. Evolutionary biology suggests that our curiosity stems from our reproduction motivation." Although it may be easy for some to protest governmental and religious regulation in the bedroom, there are situations when religious morality can outweigh personal sexual "There are definitely some people who feel that sexuality is not an appropriate topic for governmental regulation, at least between two consenting adults in their own home," Johnson said. "Beyond that, however, there is broad agreement that regulation is appropriate. For example if someone likes to have sex with children, I think a lot of people would agree that government should be in the business of regulating that." "We are motivated to succeed in the love game, and we'll do whatever we can to win," he OMRI GILLATH Assistant professor of psychology was written. A few of these views stressed that sex preferably took place in heterosexual marriages. preferences. The college life can put additional stress and pressure on our sexuality. If "If you have been raised thinking that sex is dirty or wrong, you might develop a negative scheme and try to avoid sex." "It's a fact that religion is still very influential," said Timothy Miller, who teaches "Religion in American Society" at the University. "Many people think that the Bible is the key source of knowledge of information and moral guidance in the world." Miller said that some of the Bible's views of sexuality stemmed from the cultural norm of the time period in which it "We all want to find a partner. We want to be a part of this 'mating game'," Gillath said. "The reason why close relationships in general and sexuality specifically can be so stressful is because there is a lot at stake. College provides the opportunity to find our other half, and it is highly stressful to think that we might miss the opportunity and end up alone, as many people do these days. In 2006, married people were the minority in the U.S. for the first time." The Bible also plays a part in sexual prudence. Government, religion dictate beliefs，actions in bedroom toward sex than men because there is more to risk. Rape and abuse are more serious concerns for women, and pregnancy is a serious situation that women must deal with. OMRI GILLATH Assistant professor of psychology Gillath explained that the levels and types of stress differ from male to female. Women might show a more negative attitude you think you are alone in worrying about finding a partner, you are mistaken. "They are the ones who will have to invest nine months in pregnancy and even more time in child care, whereas men can theoretically spend 10 minutes and walk away. With a different set of concerns, their behavior is very different." Given this knowledge, Gillath said, it was no wonder that women generally felt more pressure to find the right partner and therefore are more cautious in choosing. These are but a few of the societal aspects that make human sexuality such a complicated topic. One's sexual preferences can be altered by a religious background, the choices of his or her friends, or the current laws of the land. Some might also be acting strictly on what their biology and psychology demands of them. What is accepted in our society differs greatly from others. What we know is that we are a product of our surroundings, and we are destined to conform in accordance to our influences. - Edited by Jeff Briscoe CIRCUMCISION Discover the truth about what is lost www.ksnocirc.org www.noharmm.org --- BY RACHEL BURTON editor@kansan.com One country's sex is another's taboo Can you handle our burritos?

What is taboo in one culture is considered normal in another, and cultural and religious traditions often dictate what is socially acceptable. Today India's sexual culture is an embodiment of Victorian sensibilities that originated from conservative Muslim attitudes. India is going through a Western-influenced sexual revolution of its own, especially in cosmopolitan areas. Until recently even kissing scenes in movies were frowned upon and considered taboo. Sex in general is social taboo in conservative Islamic countries. Unmarried couples must hide their sexual relationships from society or they will be ostracized by the community. Books and other media that cover sex are promptly banned. In 2000 the Brazilian government began a program that allowed low-income Brazilian In Germany the teen magazine Bravo contains nude photos of teenage boys and girls along with a column that answers teen's questions about sex, sexuality and their personal lives. These photographs are not intended to be pornographic. The goal of the magazine is to help teens feel more comfortable with their bodies. During ancient times the tantric school of Indian/Hindu philosophy held the idea that sex, a basic and powerful desire experienced by all humans, could be utilized as a way of achieving enlightenment. Sex played a large part in tantra's philosophical system. During the 1960s and 1970s, many people in the West discovered tantra, the ancient Indian culture of sexual liberalism. It was a source of the Western free love movements and neotantic philosophy. Doujinshi, or amateur anime publications, are commonly sold in Japan. They often feature characters from popular anime shows but shown nude and in various sexual situations. Some of the sexual ideas in other cultures seem strange to us, but that is only because it's not what we're used to. In Japan anyone can buy lingerie and magazines featuring nude and semi-nude women on the cover from vending machines in many public places. There are many "love hotels" in Japan. The hotels have rooms furnished to suit various kinky themes and can be rented for a few hours at a time. In Japan, the floorplans of many houses make it difficult to have sex without being heard. Parents can use the love hotels to avoid being heard by their kids. Sex education has been taught in Swedish secondary schools since the 1950s. During that same time, contraception was first added to American medical school curricula. Contraception was illegal to obtain throughout most of the U.S., and sex education wasn't taught in secondary schools for many years to come. families to get free plastic surgery. A recent Avon-sponsored survey of 21,000 women in 24 countries showed that Brazilian women focus more on improving their looks than women in other countries. They also consider beauty products essential items rather than luxury items. The study says 50 percent of Brazilian women would undergo plastic surgery to keep their good looks. This obsession with beauty has allowed Brazil to boast a national aesthetic of beautiful women. Sweden's age of sexual consent is 15 years, and since 1975 abortion has been free. Condoms and oral contraception are less expensive there than in America.

Not only has life progressed socially, but also in the forms of personal expression. When we look specifically at sexual expression, it's hard to escape the idea that, as a whole, our generation has a much different idea of what is explicit or overt than generations of the past. "Today's generation has more access to sexual materials through technology and media," said Barbara Barnett, professor of journalism and mass communications. "They see more images and come to expect increased sexuality," said Barbara Barnett, professor of journalism and mass communications. American society. It is nearly impossible to ignore that this explicitness exists. In all actuality, what was considered scandalous in the past would hardly be noticed in 2007. An excellent example is the world-famous 1955 appearance of Elvis Presley on "The Ed Sullivan Show," where cameramen were instructed to only film the singer from above the waist to avoid showing the world his sexually suggestive dance moves. Indeed, today's society has a plethora of entertainment right at its fingertips. From television to the Internet, the world has become media-obsessed. With such an emphasis on entertainment and self-expression, today's youth has progressed to become arguably the most sexually communicative generation in the history of recent In the 1970s the rise of television's popularity in American homes made sexual provocation more accessible to the public. Another example from 1955 is the infamous subway grate clip of Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch." Not only was her white dress considered racy for fashion of the day, but the idea of the public seeing so much of the starlet's legs in the movie was considered by tabloids of the day to be the breaking point in her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. In the 1970s the rise of television's popularity in American homes made sexual provocation more accessible to the public. Take, for instance, the controversy surrounding the "Charlie's Angels" women. Because the women were tightly-clad and considered easy on the eye, newspaper and magazine critics were quick to label the show "Jiggle TV" or "T&A TV", for Tits & Ass Television. The birth of MTV in 1981 brought a new wave of sexuality to the mainstream. From Billy Idol's "Dancing with Myself" to The Vapors' "Turning Japanese," whose lyrics themes of masturbation, sexual innuendos began to fill the airwaves. More controversy emerged with the introduction of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" in 1985. begun focusing more on entertainment. Celebrities can now make a living just by being sexy," Barnett said. Progressing way past the days of Elvis' hip shaking, today's "Today's generation has to up the ante and push the envelope more. It is, however, up to the individual to develop values based on what he or she sees. Madonna shook the stage of sexual expression when nude photographs taken in the late 1970s were published at the height of her fame. Instead of embarrassment, the singer defiantly announced that she was not ashamed. BARBARA BARNETT Professor of Journalism Additionally, the emergence of MTV's annual spring break footage further promoted the sexuality of the '90s by depicting bikini-clad women dancing provocatively or couples licking whipped cream off of each others' nearly-naked bodies. In the 1990s, "Baywatch" entered American culture, bringing forth admirers of the bikini-wearing cast. Made world-famous by the slow motion running of its well-ended actresses, "Baywatch" featured provocative women such as Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra and Brooke Burnes. society is no stranger to sexuality and controversy. From the Internet age of celebrity pornography (Paris Hilton, Chyna Doll, etc.) to Janet Jackson's 2004 "Over the years,media has "wardrobe malfunction," we have far surpassed subway grates and short white dresses. In today's age, tabloids are no stranger to crotch shots of women without underwear (Britney Spears, anyone?) or women kissing women at the Video Music Awards. "In the '50s, '60s, and '70s, sexuality was more implied, whereas Madonna-onward, sexuality has become more adverten't," Barnett said. "Today's generation has to up the ante and push the envelope more. It is, however, up to the individual to develop values based on what he or she sees." All in all, the increased sexuality is hard to ignore. This, above all, gives today's generation two distinct choices on the matter: correct that fact or embrace it with everything we've got.

Vaginal spermicide use two different mechanisms to prevent pregnancy. Their placement in the vagina prevents sperm from penetrating the cervix, and the chemicals in them are directly toxic to sperm. The gap in effectiveness is so large because of levels of consistency when using the spermicide. Spermicide costs $0.50 to $1.50 per use. Spermicide come in foam, jelly, cream, film and suppositories. This method is even more effective when used with a barrier method of birth control, such as a condom or a diaphragm. Pros:Relatively inexpensive, available over the counter, a good backup method for women who are waiting to start other methods (such as the pill), provides lubrication during intercourse especially with condom use (which increases pleasure). Cons: Allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to ingredients may occur. They can be difficult to insert, messy, have a bad taste during oral sex and interrupt foreplay. You must put them in 15 minutes to 20 minutes before intercourse. DIAPHRAGM Eighty percent to 94 percent effective during the first year of use; effectiveness varies depending on whether or not a woman has had a child. A diaphragm is a dome shaped rubber cup with a flexible rim that covers the cervix that is inserted into the vagina before intercourse. It should always be used in combination with spermicidal jelly or cream. Diaphragms require a prescription and typically costs $30 to $50 at a doctors office. Family planning clinics often charge less, and the diaphragm has to be replaced every 2 years. There is also a doctor's visit and fitting cost. Pros: Decreases risk of some sexually transmitted diseases. Diaphragms can be inserted up to 6 hours before intercourse, and they catch blood before it leaves the vagina (meaning the messiness of period sex is no longer an issue). Cons: People who are allergic to latex or spermicide can not use diaphragms. They increase the risk for developing urinary tract infections and must be left in vagina for at least 6 hours after intercourse. Repeated sexual intercourse requires additional spermicide. The diaphragm must be removed with in 24 hours to avoid risk of toxic shock syndrome. They can be difficult to insert correctly at first, and the diaphragm may not fit after weight gain or loss. CERVICAL CAP Sixty percent to 90 percent effective A cervical cap is a latex, thimble-shaped device that is inserted into the vagina and fits snugly over the cervix. The cervical cap provides a barrier to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. Similar to a diaphragm, it is used with vaginal spermicide. About 60 percent of women cannot be fitted for a cervical cap. It costs $30 to $50 and should be replaced every year. There is also the cost of the doctor's visit and a fitting fee. Many health insurance plans cover these costs, and family planning clinics, such as Planned Parenthood, charge much less. Pros: Decreases the risk of some sexually transmitted diseases, provides protection for up to 48 hours with no need to apply additional spermicidal no matter how many times you have intercourse. Cons: People who are allergic to latex or spermicide can not use it, and there is a risk of toxic shock syndrome if worn for more than 48 hours straight. Vaginal odor may occur with prolonged use, and after intercourse it should be left in the vagina for 8 hours, oil based lubricants and some vaginal creams and yeast infection medicines can damage the rubber, can be knocked out of place during intercourse. Seventy-nine percent to 95 percent effective The female condom is a polyurethane (plastic) sheath that is about 6.5 inches long with an inner ring that fits inside the vagina, around the cervix (similar to a diaphragm) and an outer ring that covers the outside labia. It works similar to the male condom, but after the man ejaculates you have to twist the end closed and gently pull it out from the vagina. Female condoms cost $0.58 per condom on average. FEMALE CONDOM Pros: Female condoms can be inserted into the vagina up to 8 hours before intercourse. They protect against some sexually transmitted infections and can be used by people who are allergic to latex or spermicide or by those who use hormone methods of birth control. They can be purchased without a prescription. Cons: The outer ring, or frame, is visible outside the vagina, which can make some women feel self-conscious. Spillage or leakage of sperm is possible if the condom breaks or is put on incorrectly. Female condoms reduce the amount of feeling and consequently pleasure. They are not reusable and can make noises during intercourse, although adding more lubricant can lessen this problem. It can be difficult to insert and remove and cannot be combined with male condoms. DEPO PROVERA (THE SHOT) More than 99 percent effective Depo Provera is a hormone injection given every 3 months to prevent pregnancy. The injection contains synthetic progesterone and no estrogen. It is usually given in the arm. It stops the ovaries from releasing eggs and causes the cervical mucus to thicken and changes the uterine lining, making it harder for sperm survive in the uterus. Nationwide, the cost for an exam, if needed, ranges from $35 to $125. Further visits cost $20 to $40. Each injection costs $30 to $75. The total cost for each year of use ranges from $235 to $585. Many health insurance plans cover most or all of these costs. PIZZA SHUTTLE Something you can be proud to wake up next to. Practice safe pizza.

Female condoms can be difficult to insert and remove, but they can be placed into the vagina up to eight hours before intercourse, making them more convenient to use than the make condom. FEMALE CONDOM Prevent the Dyside Protection Against Pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Diseases Including AIDS (HIV Infection) Sex Instruction Controls Use Only Use with every Adult One Tube (12ml) Pros: The shot requires only four injections a year and may stop menstruation or decrease the amount of bleeding you have on your period. Women on Depo Provera have a decreased risk of endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer and pelvic inflammatory disease, effective 24 hours after the first shot. Cons: Causes loss of bone density and an increased risk of osteoporosis. There is a delay in return to fertility. Seventy percent of women using Depo Provera gain weight, and almost half of the women using Depo Provera gain more than 5 pounds after one year of use. Many women gain more than 10 pounds. It may cause heavy bleeding, and someone women bleed for a month or longer. Possible Side Effects: Headaches, nervousness, mood change, bloating, breast tenderness, backaches and heavy or no bleeding. ORTHO EVRA (THE PATCH) Ninety-five to 99 percent effective (1 to 5 of 100 women become pregnant if it is not used as prescribed) Cons: There may be slight skin irritation near the patch site. There is an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and blood clots( in arms, legs and lungs), especially if you smoke more than 15 cigarettes a day. Certain medicines and herbs may make the patch less effective These include the antibiotic rifampin, antifungals that are taken orally for yeast infections, anti-HIV protease inhibitors, St. John's wort and medicines used to treat seizures, mental illness, or headache. Using lotion near the Ortho Evra is a thin, beige, plastic patch that sticks to the skin. A new patch should be placed on the buttocks, stomach, upper outer arm or site of the patch may cause the patch to fall off. upper torso once a week for three continuous weeks. No patch is used the fourth week. The patch releases synthetic estrogen and progestin to protect against pregnancy for one month. The patch needs to be replaced on the same day. If the patch falls off for more than 24 hours, or the same patch is used for longer than a week, it is ineffective. The patch costs $30 to $40 a month. Pros: You only have to change the patch once a week. It reduces menstrual flow and cramping, reduces outbreaks of acne, and pregnancy can occur immediately after stopping the patch. Bathing, showering, swimming and exercise will not cause the patch to fall off. Possible Side Effects: Mood swings, depression, nausea, bleeding between periods and breast tenderness. Pros: It reduces menstrual flow and cramping and can reduce acne. Cons: There is an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and blood clots (in lungs, legs, or arms), especially if you smoke more than 15 cigarettes a day. It may cause light bleeding between periods, vaginal discomfort and vaginal discharge. Nuva Ring is a small, flexible ring that is inserted into the vagina once a month. It is left in place for three weeks and taken out for the remaining week. The ring releases synthetic estrogen and progestin to protect against pregnancy for one month. The ring costs $30 to $35 a month, and can be obtained through family planning clinics with a prescription.

Many locations now offer classes for pole dancing and it has become a popular workout. Photo illustration by Mindy Ricketts. Photo Illustration by Mindy Ricketts BY KATHERINE LESLIE editor@kansan.com No, this isn't an advertisement for a local gentlemen's club, where busy, scantily clad women slide around poles in high heels for the enjoyment of the peanut gallery. I'm talking about a different kind of pole dancing — where women (and perhaps even men) can get a great workout while improving their sense of self. POLE DANCING AS EXERCISE There's a reason pole dancers in the clubs almost always have great bodies: pole dancing is hard work. If you're trying, one hour on the pole will burn more calories than one in the gym. Don't believe me? Imagine having to support your entire weight on one arm or supporting all your upper body weight with clenched abdominal muscles. Regular practice means almost immediate results in the form of great tone and muscle definition where it counts — arms, thighs, abs and buttocks. It's a full-body workout with just one piece of equipment, the pole, so it's much less expensive than home gyms and more portable, too. Because most instructors offer different levels of pole dancing based on expertise and strength, it isn't a prerequisite that you be toned up — learning to pole dance does that for you. The exercises are fun, so even though it works just as well as an hour on the treadmill, you'll look forward to the next workout. After years of having pole dancing as a sort of taboo, it is finally becoming a source of empowerment and fun exercise for women. There are lessons everywhere — even in Kansas City, Mo., like Pole Worx on the second floor of 1225 Union Ave. So if you're interested, there's no need wait to get involved in what is becoming an increasingly popular pastime. POLE DANCING AS COMPETITION Although most pole dancing competitions are still amateur nights at strip clubs, women across the world are working to get pole dancing taken seriously as a sport. After all, it is hard work and requires both skill and training to become a skillful pole dancing artist. Although there currently are not regional competitions in the United States, there are formal pole dancing pageants in Australia, France, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. There is also a "Miss Pole Dance World" competition, which began in November 2005. These competitions are strictly non-nude and non-stripping, focusing on pole dancing as an aerobic, artistic form of exercise. POLE DANCING AS SELF-AFFIRMATION As cheesy as it sounds, pole dancing gives you confidence — and I don't just mean the kind in the bedroom. Women across America, from superstars like Teri Hatcher of "Desperate Housewives" to soccer moms, have raved that the sensuality and confidence pole dancing gave them has carried over into the rest of their lives, from interactions with the opposite sex to just feeling like they could finally be themselves. "It's not about looking at yourself, it's about finding confidence in your body," Hatcher said in an interview on National Nine News. This confidence all stems from one simple thing: the naughty feeling of erotically swinging around a pole. It promotes good body image, and if a woman feels comfortable in her own skin, she feels comfortable everywhere else.

Maxwell began her career in the late 1970s and has been recognized as "The Queen of Fellatio" Contributed Photo BY ALEX PARKER editor@kansan.com In 1974, Jody Maxwell was a senior at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, president of the school's Young Republicans chapter, performing in the campus production of "Death of a Salesman" and dating Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Jan Stenerud. A year later, she was a porn star. Maxwell was president of the UMKC communications fraternity, which hosted a conference on morality her senior year. One of the panelists was legendary adult filmmaker Gerard Damiano, who gained notoriety as the man behind the watershed film, "Deep Throat." Damiano learned of Maxwell's acting aspirations and invited her to New York City for a screen test "Porn sought me" she said. "I never sought it." The journey she was about to take was a far cry from the country club life she had known as a scholarship student at St. Teresa's Academy in Kansas City, Mo., and the daughter of prominent Jackson County, Mo., prosecutors. But Maxwell took the plunge. Her father even gave his blessing. Her meteoric rise from Kansas City society to erotica legend is, in fact, straightforward and rather normal. There are no sordid tales of seedy sets, drugs or "Boogie Nights" falls from grace. Maxwell is, by all accounts, a talented and educated woman who decided to take a chance. "I said to myself, 'If you don't take chances, you've never lived,'" Maxwell said in a phone interview from her home in California. In 1975, she starred in her first adult film, "Portrait," which was written for her by Damiano. Maxwell said that for a girl from Kansas City, her new career was a departure from life in the sleepy Midwest. But, she said, she was no prude. "Sex-wise, I had been married and divorced already," Maxwell said. "I had gotten into swinging, which was prevalent in Kansas City at the time, so I was open to sex with other people." Still, sex in the confines of a bedroom is different from performing in front of a camera, crew, director and a cast of actors. However, Maxwell and her co-star Jamie Gillis became quick friends before they started working together. There was another perk. "This guy (Gillis) is hot," she said. "He reeked of sexuality. A woman would not think twice about jumping into bed with him." Luckily for Maxwell, she was paid to. But their friendship didn't make her first sex scene any easier. "I was extremely nervous," she said. Director Damiano thought showingc a unique talent that Maxwell developed would put her at ease. Maxwell said it originated unexpectedly. One December night, she surprised her boyfriend by putting a holiday twist on oral sex. "I burst out into song," she remembered. She sang two verses of "Jingle Bells" to the pleasant surprise of her boyfriend. she was still the only person Flint had interviewed for Hustler. So was born "singing and sucking," a talent that helped earn her the title "Queen of Fellatio," bestowed by Hustler publisher Larry Flint; it later spawned a Christmas record. Maxwell said "Portrait" debuted to solid reviews and her career escalated. From 1974 to 1983, she made fewer than 20 films; the Internet Movie Database counts 13. Today, that number pales in comparison to such industry stars as Jenna Jameson, who has more than 100 credits to her name, or Ron Jeremy, who has appeared in more than 1,900 films. But quality, not quantity, earned Maxwell a ticket to the Erotica Hall of Fame in Las Vegas in 2006. In 1983, Maxwell remarried, and saw a fearsome new player in the porn game: AIDS. "It scared the hell out me," she said. "Less and less I wanted to take chances. I was getting worn SEE MAXWELL ON PAGE 2B Sex on the Hill 07 THE STARS COME OUT...

She turned her erotic film star status — she shuns the word "porn," which she said had negative connotations — into a traveling show that was part erotica, part comedy. She met her husband, Bruce, during one of these tours. She also became a sex counsellor for several adult magazines, including Cherie, and even covered the 1984 Democratic and Republican national conventions. Maxwell also began working for a company called Personal Services Club. She performed erotic phone calls for clients who specifically requested her. "It was just like an acting gig," she said, adding that she received calls from clients as varied as sports figures to University of Kansas students. "I was very popular in Lawrence," she said. Maxwell left Personal Services Club in 1995, but kept detailed notes of every call she received, turning them into a book called "My Private Calls." The book was released in early 2005 and is available on her Web site, www.jodymaxwell.com. "I had 61 and a half notebooks, and picked out 100 calls to include in the book," she said. "I wrote about them from beginning to end, describing callers and their conversations in lurid detail. It's funny, it's straight, it's sometimes sad." Although "My Private Calls" features highlights from her life and career, she promises that her upcoming autobiography will devote more time to the place that shaped her sexuality and propelled her into porn: Kansas City. "I'm going to Kansas City/ Contributed Photo PETER LOPEZ Jody Maxwell said she was "very popular" in Lawrence during the 1980s. She spent a majority of her time working in Kansas City and currently lives in California. Kansas City, here I come/They got a crazy way of lovin' there/and I'm gonna get me some" — "Kansas City" by Wilbert Harrison For a modest city, replete with folksy Midwestern charm, Kansas City doesn't strike most people as a place to explore their sexuality. But, if Maxwell's experience is any indication, Cowtown is a swinging town, or at least it was in the '70s and '80s. Her column for Cherie was called "Kansas City Stark," and it explored some of the less publicized activities in Kansas City. The Steamboat Arabia, it was not. 'The Spirit of '76' was a swingers club in Kansas City which Maxwell came across while doing investigative reporting for Cherie. "The first event I went to was at the Ramada Inn in Hickman Mills. There were hundreds of people there." She describes the scene as a sexual circus, with open doors beckoning passers-by into hotel rooms, naked men and women posing in doorways and, on more than one occasion, people recognizing and propositioning her. At least one unwitting guest was mistakenly put on a floor reserved specifically for Spirit of '76 members. Another gathering took place in the clubhouse of Brookridge Country Club in Overland Park. Maxwell said the group was generally well educated, and included some well-known Kansas Citians, though she declined to name them. Ron Jeremy, who co-starred with Maxwell in 1981's "A Girl's Best Friend", has his own theories about how Kansas City may have shaped Maxwell's career. "There's a giant Ron Jeremy penis in the middle of Kansas City," he said jokingly. Jeremy, whose endowment is legend in the porn world, told The Kansan that he once flew over downtown Kansas City and saw Liberty Memorial from above, and Conversation with the Queen of fellatio HUSTLER INTERVIEW Jody Maxwell This month's interview is with the star of Jerry Damiano's new release, "Portrait." She is being billed as porn's hottest product since Linda Loveelia. Jody is not only a talented actress, but is considered to be the world's greatest cocksucker, with the ability to sing while she performs this art. I first knew that I wanted to interview Jody for HUSTLER after I witnessed her performance in Damiano's film. I felt that I must have auditioned for it once, but singing a song in the process, must have a great deal to say about the art of tellatio and the subtitle "The Great Cocksucker." Publisher of HUSTLER allows me very little time for specific editorial assignments, especially conducting an interview that could have easily been handled by a staff member or free-lance writer, but I decided I'd be damned if I'd let anyone other than myself interview the world's greatest cocksucker. hv Larry Flvnt A promotional poster featuring Maxwell was used in Hustler Magazine. Maxwell gained her title as the "Queen of Fellatio" while experimenting with a popular Christmas song. Contributed Photo thought, "Hey, they made a giant mold of me!" In all seriousness, however, he said Maxwell was humble in an industry that is fraught with prima donnas. Kansas City, he said, was once home to the Dove Theater, a movie house for porn, which Jeremy called "the nicest theater in the business." Today, the Dove is Bazooka's showgirls; Jeremy described the theater as classy, neat and clean Six inch or foot long Does size matter? Call ins are fast! Yello Sub 1814 W. 23rd | 843-6000 Call ins — words not always associated with erotica. So perhaps Kansas City's naughty schoolgirl image — naive on the surface, mischievous below — helped shape Maxwell's persona. "He wanted so much to make porn that hed show off his special talent," self-fellatio, recalled Maxwell. A HELPING HAND Jeremy wasn't always the porn superstar he is today. At one point, he was an unknown New York schoolteacher who worked hard to gain recognition. Maxwell has a laundry list of porn stars she calls her favorites, including: Gillis, Rod Dumont ("A heck of an actor. A heck of a stud."), Samantha Fox and Jeremy. THE LADY IN BLACK Contributed Phot But Maxwell said she pushed him to demand more work and money, accelerating his career and helping establish him as porn royalty. Maxwell has worked with several adult film stars, including Ron Jeremy. Maxwell has been married for nearly 24 years, and she's proud of her achievements. It is an unlikely career path for the child of Kansas City socialites, who grew up on the Country Club Plaza and was once a White House guest of President Nixon. She met her husband, Bruce, while she was touring with her stage show. She impressed him off the bat. name as a teacher. To protect her career, she and her husband declined to give The Kansan their surnames). She also continues to foster her love of writing by editing manuscripts for a publishing house. "What struck me the most was how smart she was and how she knew about what was going on in the world, more than any of the other people that I knew at the time," he said. "I was entranced and pretty much just listened to world according to Jody for most of our first meeting." Jeremy, who was a teacher before he entered the porn industry, said Maxwell's acting experience could make her a more exuberant educator. He's still pretty entranced: "I thank her and my lucky stars every day for her finding me in the crowd." Her current career is an even more unlikely diversion, at least for a former porn star: She's a substitute teacher in northern California (Maxwell uses her married Bruce agreed, saying, "I think that being in the entertainment business is pretty much like saying that you're in the people business. You learn to recognize the signs of what others are thinking or feeling while interacting with you. "Performing makes you a better teacher," Jeremy said. "The best teachers make you want to listen, want to learn ... they make everything entertaining." "And lets face it; she's not going to be offended by someone calling a spade a spade." Although she is open about her past, it's not something Maxwell dwells upon. She has more important things to think about today. As a teacher, she can create deeper impressions than any skin flick. "People have told me I've turned kids' lives around," Maxwell said. And although Jeremy has not remained close in touch with Maxwell, he's pleased to hear she's doing well. "There should be more happy endings in porn."

Sigmund Freud borrowed the term and likened it to an object of sexual fixation, thereby creating today's most common definition. DiscoveryHealth.com defines fetishism as "a fixation on an inanimate object or body part that is not primarily sexual in nature and the compulsive need for its use in order to obtain sexual gratification." Fetishism is primarily a male phenomenon. Shoes are among the most frequent items to be the focus of a fetish, and, of course, women's panties. Fetishes can be inanimate top ten fetishes The term fetish can also refer to strong sexual preferences that make sexual gratification difficult. In everyday usage a fetish simply refers to the kinkier aspects of sex and not the psychological aspects. 10. Stomachs 9. Body piercing 8. Leather, rubber, vinyl, 7. Domination and submission 6. Feet and hands 5. Fingernails and lipstick 4. Braids, ponytails, 3. Water 2. Golden showers 1. Voyeurism and exhibitionism — AskMen.com objects such as shoes and lingerie, materials such as leather, rubber and latex, or body parts such as feet. AskMen.com's top 10 fetishes include body peircings, domination/submission, fingernails and lipstick, and golden showers (urinating on one's partner or being urinated on). Other fetishes include amputees, corsets and belly buttons. Toonophilia is the sexual attraction to cartoon characters. Discovery Health says fetishism is a branch of paraphilia, a condition where a person's sexual pleasure depends on activities that are atypical and extreme. Other paraphilias include sadomasochism, exhibitionism and voyeurism. These behaviors should be engaged by consenting adults. Some fetishes can create problems with comfort levels in relationships. "Different people have different ethics and morals. There is also the issue of what's legal," said Charlene Muehlenhard, professor of psychology and women's studies at KU. "Depending on how the person exercises or carries out their fetish it could present no problem, or a very serious problem. A person would be better off with a partner who is understanding or who has a compatible fetish," she continued. Fetishes can be uncomfortable for some. "My ex liked feet a lot, but I think feet are gross," said Angela Moser, Lenexa senior. Though feet are a turn off, she said, "I don't have a problem with fetishes." Online communities can be a vital link to connecting to people who share a similar interest. The Foot Fraternity, www-footfraternity.com, is an organization and support group for homosexual men with a foot fetish. For an annual fee, members gain access to erotica, films and images of feet and related fetishes, in addition to access to personal ads from other members. It's not always necessary to go online. Elizabeth Chesney, Hutchinson senior, has had a couple of different experiences with fetishes. "I had a guy with a schoolgirl fetish, and a guy with a dominatrix fetish," she said. Chesney said fetishes don't bother her. "I think it's perfectly fine. There's a market for everything unless it involves children, and then it's not OK," she said. Brittany Wolfe, Kansas City, Kan., junior said she didn't have a problem with fetishes. "I think it's OK, as long as you're honest with the person you're with," said "As a society, we're closed-minded, too judgmental about sex." "Safe, sane and consensual" is the slogan used by many of the groups that provide a meeting ground for people. Safe in the sense that no real harm will come to the participants. Sane in that all participants are in a right state of mind and aware of their environment. Consensual in that all participants are willing participants. As long as boundaries are respected, there's no reason not to experiment.

And like the smart person you are, you want to know what your options are to protect your partner and yourself from the pit- ter-patter of little feet too soon. But what should you consider when choosing the right birth control pill? It is much easier to make a choice when you know the fundaments of birth control. There are two different types of birth control pills.The first is a combined pill that contains both estrogen and progestin, which are hormones that stop ovulation, the release of an egg, and slow the male's sperm so they die off before fertilization takes place. The second type of birth control, called a minipill, contains only progestin. The minipill simply makes the cervical mucus thicker so the sperm can't swim through, but its side effects vary. Neither pill protects against STDs. KU KANKAI WARNING: PERSONAL HEALTH CERTIFIED SCHOOL STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES - MADE IN THE USA 1208 567 8190 DEC. 2014 03185107 RXB KEE AS DIRECTED.

For those women who have severe cramps, the pill can help decrease pain as well as PMS, the emotional and physical symptoms that make some women bloat like balloons and others want to kill their husbands for recommending skim milk instead of 2 percent. The pill is designed to give females the option of being able to have sex whenever their partner is 'up' for it without having to worry about dealing with messy Photo illustration by Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN Several choices for contraceptions exist for those who are sexually active and want security.

There are several different brands of birth control. Like most competitive products, some do the same thing, while others focus on the special needs of individual women. According to the FDA Web site, most oral contraceptives fail only for between one and two out of every 100 women who take them. YAZ is a combination pill that also helps with PMS. It also advertises the 'three day period,' and for any woman who has ever had to deal with seven complete days of menstrual hell, that's quite a selling point. Because YAZ contains a different kind of hormone, progestin drp, it may increase potassium in some women, which means you shouldn't take it if you have kidney, liver, or adrenal diseases. According to Mai Do, the marketing coordinator of Student Health Services, Watkins Memorial Health Center prescribes YAZ for $46.45 for one cycle of pills. BUFFALO WILD WING!

TUESDAY, SEPT. 25 ONLY AVAILABLE FOR DINE-IN ONLY 10TH AND MASS • (785) 838-9464 Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo is a brand of pill that uses lower levels of hormones than other birth control methods. This pill has lower levels of estrogen, which means it may be a better pill for younger women to start with because it has fewer side effects. Lo also has a small discontinuation rate, only about four percent, which means many women found the side effects to be limited or nonexistent. According to the Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo Web site, those side effects include headache cervical dysplasia, emotional lability, nausea and abdominal pain. One frequent downside to the drug is its breakthrough bleeding and spotting, a side effect that one in five women experienced during their first month on the pill. Lo is available for $47.45 per cycle. For those women who really hate the monthly mess of a period, however short, a new brand of pill has been developed called Seasonale birth control, which limits periods to a four-time-a-year event. Don't worry; these quarterly menstruation cycles won't become the periods from hell. Studies show menstruation cycles occur exactly like a once-a-month period. As in Lo, in rare cases there may be breakthrough bleeding and spotting every few months, as well as all the other risks associated with oral contraceptives. Available for $106.10 for a three-month cycle, Watkins also prescribes its generic counterpart, Jolessa, for $54.65 for three months. TheEmergencyContraceptive,otherwise known as EC,the Morning-After Pill, or Plan B,can be used as a back up in emergency situations. According to birthcontrol.com,EC should be taken up to three days after unprotected sex. EC stunts or delays ovulation, which means it prevents an egg from being able to mature into a human being. While EC is the only non-abortive contraceptive on the market that helps prevent pregnancy after sex, it works only about 80-85 percent of the time. EC will not affect an established pregnancy, will not cause an abortion, and, as in all other pills, will not protect against STDs. There are no long-term side effects associated with EC, and the most common short-term complaints were nausea and vomiting. EC is the only birth control pill available over-the-counter, costing $24.09 after tax. Whenever you or your partner decide to begin taking birth control, it is important to consider all the risks involved and have a long chat with the doctor including a discussion about which brand is right for you. It is also essential to pay attention to how your body reacts to the pill, not just physically, but emotionally as well. There is a reason the advertisements call them "the most common side effects." There can be many less common, and sometimes more disruptive ones, as well. Don't forget to use other forms of contraceptives for the first month after beginning a pill regimen. After all, you don't want the big event to become a huge nightmare. — Edited by Rachel Bock DON'T MONKEY AROUND Godfather's has the BEST pizza in town!

But the girl was quickly forgotten, and conversation continued with the guys sharing stories about who had hooked up with whom, and whom they planned on hooking up with in the future. If a female had stumbled upon the conversation at this particular lunch table, she might have made the assumption that sex is the only interest men have in women. Although sex is more often than not the ultimate goal of many college men, there is more to the male desire in women than the no-commitment sexual encounter. Many times, however, men truly are looking only for sex. The image shows a man lying on his back in bed, arms stretched out wide. He appears to be smiling or laughing. The bed is covered with a white sheet, and the background is dark. There are no visible texts or distinguishing features that could provide more context about the scene. Photo illustration by Lisa Lipova The stereotype is that all men care about is wild adventures with multiple women. That's not always the case. Some men are interested in serious relationships, with love at the heart of their desires. New! Cheesy Beefy Melt New! Cheesy Beefy Melt If you love melty cheese, TACO BELL's got it.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BUN TACO BELL 1408 W. 23rd Street · 1220 W. 6th Street "I don't really get anything out of one-night stands," said Nick .Philipp, Santa Barbara, Calif., senior. "I'm not saying that I've never done it, but intimate encounters shouldn't be taken for granted. That makes the special ones less special." A one-night stand provides no commitment, little time investment and plenty of opportunity to brag to friends. However, the one-night-stand isn't always what guys are looking for. "Some girls think guys are just looking for a onenight stand, when they're really looking for a relationship," said Nick Tobaben, Topeka junior. Philipp is not alone. To b ab e n said that before Good qualities: When I look for a girl, I'm looking for a person that is not only attractive, but also someone I can have an intelligent conversation with. In my mind, an unintelligent girl that says "like" every other word has lost almost all the sex appeal she might have had before she started talking. I also like girls that are independent and original and who are not afraid to be themselves. Girls that have goals and ambition are very attractive. "Girls should be themselves, have confidence, and not try to put on a show. All the makeup hides who they really are." NICK PHILIPP Santa Barbara, Calif., senior he hooked up with a girl, he needed to get to know who she was as a person. According to the Kinsey Report "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male," 54 percent of men think about sex every day or several times a day. This is not saying that 54 percent of men want to engage in sex with someone they barely know. Philipp's advice to females is consistent with this idea. So if not all men are looking for one-night stands, what do they want? "Girls should be themselves, have confidence, and not try to put on a show. All the makeup hides No no's: Girls who whine and complain are simply annoying. For example, a girl that doesn't mind a long walk home from the bar or a girl that doesn't have a problem going to the bathroom outside when there are no other options, is much cooler than a girl who whines about unpleasant circumstances. who they really are," Phillipp said. He went on to describe the type of girls he likes as compassionate, selfless, fun and friendly. Girls who enjoy casual dating opposed to drunken one-night stands are attractive too. Taking a girl out for dinner or to a concert is a great way to get to know who she is as a person. Dating allows both people to make good decisions about with whom they might become more physical. Clingy girls can be unattractive as well. I call them leaches because they never leave you alone. Clinging to a guy shows insecurity and a lack of independent ambition. Giving a guy room in a relationship is essential. This might mean allowing one or two nights a week for the guy to go out with his friends. "Guys want a friend — someone they can always count on other than the guys," Philipp said. Overall, women should understand that males are essentially looking for the same things they are in a relationship. Men are not just in it for the sex, although it can be a plus. They're in it to find someone they can confide in and trust. They're looking for a life-long friend to have fun with and get to know. And as surprising as it may sound, guys are almost always looking for love, but sometimes a threesome with hot, blonde twins is fine too. - Edited by Jeff Briscoe The World's Most local burger The World's Most local burger Want great buns?

BY MOLLY STANLEY editor@kansan.com What do women want? "Orgasms," said Kevin Walker, Kansas City, Kan., junior. But when it comes to relationships, women are definitely looking for more than just that. In fact, some women do not want anything sexual at all. "I'm Catholic and I'm waiting until marriage," said Diana Toro, Leavenworth freshman. Toro is in a serious relationship and is content with the monogamy. Many women want the clarity of a monogamous relationship, but there are also women who enjoy the muddiness of not having a completely defined relationship, including me. The fact that our generation can't exactly define a "relationship" only makes it harder to pinpoint exactly what women want. Photo illustration by Lisa Lipovae Bonnie Croisant, Humboldt junior, said that when it comes to choosing an undefined rela OVERLAND LIFE tionship or a monogamous relationship, it depends. Cara Thiele, Leavenworth junior, who recently got out of a five-year relationship, said that although she would normally prefer a monogamous relationship, she is definitely not against having an open one. Although women aren't always 100 percent sure of what kind of relationship they want, they know exactly what they want from the relationship. Every woman I have talked to, single or attached, agreed that they want to have fun in a relationship, but no relationship can be based solely on fun. "Women want loyalty and honesty," said Evan Leitnaker, Olathe freshman. He is actually right in the case of many women. Kelsea Pepper, Topeka sophomore, who is single, and Monica Garza, Dallas sophomore, who is "on a break but still kind of together," both agreed that they want trust, honesty and loyalty in a relationship. In a long distance relationship, Rachel Samuelson, Overland Park freshman, stressed that mutual trust, loyalty and respect were very important. Although Leitnaker knew what many women wanted in relationships, when asked what women wanted in bed he said he didn't know. Women aren't just looking for orgasms or head. Many women actually want the same things in bed as they do in a relationship. When it comes to the sexual part of a relationship, Thiele said that she just wants fun. Mind-blowing, pleasurable, passionate sex is not what women need to be satisfied. Sometimes, just having a fun experience is more than enough to leave a girl fulfilled. However, just like in relationships, no sexual connection can be based exclusively on fun. "Understanding and communication are important," Samuelson said. Being comfortable enough to talk about sex is something women want in any relationship. Although women may not always know if their relationship status should be single, taken, dating, open or complicated. women do know what they want from their relationships. Women want to have fun in and out of the bedroom, and for some, this includes orgasms. — Edited by Meghan Murphy whether you're giving head or getting head head down to jetlag Friday: Party on the patio with $4 domestic pitchers Saturday: Open 9am-2am for pre & post game Sunday: free pool all day JETLAG Lodge 6th & FLORIDA Call us for your parties! 842-0083 whether you're giving head or getting head jetlag Friday: Party on the patio with $4 domestic pitchers Saturday: Open 9am-2am for pre- & post-game Sunday: free pool all day Call us for your parties! 842-0083 RIBBED.

Let your roommates know when they should stay out of your space, no exceptions. Sexual attitudes can cause rifts between roommates and make things uncomfortable. Photo illustration by Sarah Leonard Avoid awkward situations by setting boundaries, adhering to agreements Photo Illustration by Sarah Leonard BY MEGAN DO editor@kansan.com When you walk into your dorm after an exhausting day of classes, the thought of a refreshing drink and your comfortable bed motivate you to climb the stairs a little faster. But as you turn the corner, you see a red striped sock hanging loosely on the doorknob. Immediately, you turn around and find another place to go. Having roommates can be a great thing. They help pay the rent, keep you company and help clean. But they can also make having a sexual relationship almost impossible. How do roommates set the boundaries for bringing someone home? Is it possible to balance both relationships? One of the first things to do is to communicate with your roommate to avoid an awkward situation or strained relationship. Logan Jones, Frankfort freshman, discussed the subject with his roommate shortly after they met. "My roommate brought it up the first week," Jones said. "It might be awkward to bring up, but it makes things easier later." Whether the sign is a sock on the door or some other form of nonverbal communication, Jones advises students to make sure "We have a whiteboard on our door and a code word you can write on it," Jones said. roommates are warned that sexual activity is underway before entering the room. Leslie Fischer Jefferson City sophomore had the misfortune of experiencing one of these uncomfortable situations.

Molly Schroeder, Lenexa sophomore, said she could not tolerate her roommate's promiscuous behavior. "When I lived in the dorms, my roommate brought home different guys every night," Schroeder said. "She agreed not to do it, but she did it anyway so I moved out." Andrea Long, Overland Park sophomore and resident advisor in GSP Hall, has some advice for all students. "Be really upfront with your roommate," Long said. "The room is split 50/50.

The entertainment industry portrays sex as a mind-blowing experience in which men and women always reach climax. Pressures such as this cause some women to feel inadequate when they don't have an orgasm.** *Photo illustration by Mickey Bindey* BY MEGAN MILLS editor@kansan.com More than likely those moans coming from your female partner are merely a rehearsed performance, and some women should earn an award for their ability to fake an orgasm. Photo illustration by Mindy Ricketts Numbers vary, but some sources say as many as one in three women regularly fake orgasms. The reasons why women pretend to reach the pinnacle of sexual arousal vary from woman and situation, but for the majority, fake orgasms are due to the pressures of anticipated expectations during sex. Both men and women view a false representation of the sexual experience from the entertainment industry, which often portrays sex as a mind-blowing experience in which both partners always reach climax. This fictitious representation causes the Dicks and Janes of the real world to believe that the same should happen for them. Sophomore Paradise Michigan said the media definitely shaped her opinions about sex. Her own satisfaction aside, she said that she was surprised when her first sexual partner orgasm. If movies and television do not skew a woman's idea of what sex is really like, her partner's expectations of the experience can cause her to worry and fake an orgasm in order to maintain her own confidence and self-image. "My boyfriend said that his other girlfriend always did it when they had sex. I didn't really know what I was doing, and I thought I was supposed to since I had always heard about it," said junior Cadillac Florida. "From all of my friends and all the people I had known, I had this idea that they orgasmed. I thought that something was wrong with me or that I was doing it wrong." Many women worry that their inability to reach orgasm will single them out and make them less desirable to their partners. Florida also cited not wanting to hurt her boyfriend's feelings as a reason for faking it. "I thought if I didn't, then it might hurt his feelings and he might feel deficient in some way" Like many women, she did not want her boyfriend to feel embarrassed so she pretended to have an orgasm in order to protect her partner's self-esteem. Senior Champaign Illinois "I thought if I didn't, then it might hurt his feelings and he might feel deficient in some way." CADILLAC FLORIDA Junior did not praise his maker, bark like a dog or momentarily black out when he reached orgasm, causing her to doubt her performance and think she was doing something wrong. She also felt sexually inadequate because she did not reach equated faking climax to cooking her significant other's favorite food. "Sometimes you do nice things for someone in a relationship, like cooking them a nice meal that you don't particularly enjoy," Illinois said. "That is what faking an orgasm is like: you are giving up just a little bit of your own enjoyment so that your partner can have a better experience." If the expectations that accompany sex are not the driving force behind a woman's phony sexual summit, her partner's lackluster performance could be the cause. Senior Bliss Idaho said she faked it because she just wanted to get it over with if the sex was not fun anymore or if she lost interest. However, she said that this rule applied only if she was not with a serious boyfriend or she was with someone that she knew she would never see again. Idaho said that if she was in a relationship or with someone who she would be with another time, she wouldn't fake it because she would not want her partner to think he was doing a good job when in reality he was not. Instead of faking it, she said, she let her partner know how she felt, making sure to inform him in a nice way so as not to hurt his feelings. As Idaho has found, many men will believe that the woman he is with is happy and enjoys the sexual experience if she fakes it. This can lead to long-term dissatisfaction for the woman if she is in a relationship. Even if a guy is not in a relationship, any woman who has slept with him in the past and faked it has only reinforced nss misguided confidence, and so he will continue to disappoint any woman who has the misfortune of sleeping with him unless his sexual partners decide to speak up. If not, he could be doomed to a future of one-night-stands because, according to MSNBC. com, both men and women "expressed that sex was important as a way to bring couples closer, to help maintain healthy relationships and to increase one's self confidence." So, ladies, don't be so quick to judge a guy who you think might be lacking in the bedroom department. Ignore any feelings of embarrassment or awkwardness and tell your partner, or even show him, what he can do to improve so you both can enjoy the sexual experience.

Or have you ever been approached by someone only to have the conversation suffer because he or she was incredibly awkward? We've all encountered these situations, but what is the best way to deal with them? "Never use pick-up lines," said Mike Meadows, Derby junior. "You can tell through a person's eye-contact and body language if they are interested. Just go be yourself." If a person is sneaking glances at you every few minutes, the person probably won't mind if you come over to chat. An interested person will normally sit in a more open position, or lean toward his or her person of interest. Meadows said the more someone looks away the less they want to be hit on. Crossing your arms or turning your body away is an indication of indifference. For the less outgoing people who are nervous about approaching strangers, the same rules apply. Try watching for eye contact and body language even if you aren't planning an approach. Friends are an asset and a good confidence booster too. Mike Breeden, Quinter senior, was with friends who noticed the attraction between him and his now significant other. Breeden's friends forced him to act by showing the two together. "We both kept noticing each other, but it took our friends to push us together." Breeden said. If you are looking for a serious relationship, beware of people searching for a one night stand. If you are questioning the motives of your new acquaintance, you can look for some fairly straightforward signs. "Guys who are looking for a one night thing will put themselves out there much faster than other guys," said Annie Wade, Overland Park freshman. "Someone looking for a relationship will be more respectful." The most obvious one-night stand seeker is the married person without a ring. If it's summertime, there should be a tan line where the ring should be. The line is slightly fainter during the winter but still there. It never hurts to ask, except maybe your pride if you receive a rejection. But it might be worse to not ask at all. Use your best judgment. Your friends and your instincts provide your best guidance.

BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS No longer can you blow off steam by complaining to your parents or another friend — the last thing you need is people questioning your relationship — and the one person who you can normally count on to calm you down is the person who is causing the problem. Living with a significant other is not the same as living with a friend or This was a huge mistake. By the end of the first week of living together, my fiancee and I were almost convinced that we couldn't stand one more minute around each other, much less the rest of the year or our entire lives. When I finally convinced my now fiance to move to Lawrence, I was too caught up in the last-minute one bedroom apartment switch and late move-in date to plan ahead. Because of this, we finally created a few guidelines for each other that should have set before we moved in. Sound familiar? Here's some common issues you and your significant other might want to discuss before you move in together or find your yourself sleeping on the couch. CHECK-IN BEFORE HEADING OUT! Its really inconvenient for someone to skip homework in order to make dinner just to find out that you are not going to be home (when you said that you would be) because you have to work or had planned on hanging out with friends. Needless to say he was excited about being able to hang out with his friends whenever and he felt like it without being interrogated. For my fiancee, breaking free from his mom and dad's nosiness about his whereabouts was one of the most enticing elements of moving in with me. It's also extremely frustrating for your partner when you decide to make plans without checking to see if you as a couple already have plans that you didn't know about which usually means you forgot about them. Unfortunately, just like your parents, your significant other needs to know where you are going to be and what time you are going to be home. KANSAN FILE PHOTO And if your significant other really did remind you several times not to make plans on a specific date and you forgot and made plans anyway, cancel your plans irritated friends are infinitely better than an infuriated significant other (for reasons I'm sure you can figure out on your own).

Shortly after we moved in together, my fiancee and I found the ideal place to have our wedding at. The problem was not the place itself, but the price tag attached to it. I thought we could afford to have it there. Besides, I made enough money at my job this summer to pay for it on my own money - so financially speaking, it was not really his decision to make. Some couples try to avoid this situation by agreeing before they move-in together that they are going to keep separate bank accounts and split expenses in half. My fiancee said it was out of our price range, but relented when he saw how convinced I was that we could afford it. We ended up being able to afford it, but his point was that my money is not solely mine anymore. Those couples get points for planning ahead, but that is an unrealistic solution - especially for couples in college. My fiancee is not in college, so his finances are fairly consistent. But because of my busy schedule, the amount of money I make at my job differs week to week. I hate to admit it, but there are some months where he is going to have to cover my half of the bills. The assumption is that when I finish my degree and I am making more money than him, it will all even out. But right now that is not the case, and therefore spending decisions should be made together. But in my defense, he should have stuck with his gut feeling. Compromises have to be made in relationships, but if you feel strongly about an issue, especially one that could put you both in a difficult place financially, don't back down. If I had been wrong, we would not have been able to pay our bills on time. And I'm sure everyone knows the difficulties bad credit creates later in life, like when you are trying to buy a house. DON'T FORGET ABOUT US! When my fiancee is not at work, he is glued to the TV. His favorite activity is playing video games. When I am in class or at work he uses video games as a way to pass the time. Usually, his video game obsession does not bother me - I'd rather him play video games when I am not home than many other activities I can think of. But it really upsets me when I am at home, and I want to spend time together and he suggests that I watch him play video games. He used to think that he did not have to spend any quality time with me because we live together. "We see each other every day, isn't that enough for you?" Sorry, but sleeping next to someone every night is not what makes a relationship last. I, as well as many other women can admit that no matter how much time our significant other spends with us, it's never going to be enough. But there is a middleground. If you are going to get home earlier than your significant other and you will be at home for the rest of the evening, use the time before your significant other comes home to run errands, do homework, play video games, whatever. But if your significant other has only a small amount of time to themselves every day due to a busy schedule, then you need to work out a schedule, and stick to it, of days that will be "us" time and other days that will be "you" time. There are many other issues that my fiancee and I argue about on a regular basis, like cleaning, his parents, making dinner and cleaning, but everything else is trivial. So before you throw in the towel, or throw your significant other out, try a few of these tips. They could save your relationship too.

Despite the hype of more people, parties and alcohol, dating in college is not any more exciting than in high school. Franklin Fantini, Lawrence junior, said minor changes in sex and dating occur as students move on to college, but the two are mostly the same, just different ages. However, there are apparent differences. College offers more people, house parties and a busy bar scene all week long, opposed to high school where there are the same people in the same building every day and parents must skip town in order to throw a party. "In college, it's a catalyst because of the bars," Fantini said. "You can meet a lot of people, and you have all these classes all over the place and there are tons of people all over the place." Laura Edwards, Leawood sophomore, said that it has been more difficult for her to meet good, nice guys because she lived in an all-girl dorm last year and she currently lives in a sorority house. Students suggested meeting people through organizations and classes but said that bars and house parties may not be the best place to meet people if interested in starting a relationship. "I think it's really funny how a lot of my friends will go to Neon or go to parties and get all dressed up and think that tonight's the night that you'll meet around that I don't really see the benefits of having to be with one person," Cowan said. Fantini agreed that while the enthusiasm for long-term relationships may deteriorate in some students, hormones don't. "It's easier to meet people because you're drunk, but at the same time it's also easy just to be really horny when you're drunk." Fantini said. "You just want "Having places without parents is definitely a factor in college.I think it means the physical pace moves a lot faster." to meet somebody to get laid, or whatever." As supervision decreases from high school to college, the physical pace of a relationship increases. Students are able to pick up people and take them back to their places, not their parents'. The stronger moral beliefs of high school students are often loosened by college's progressive structure. "Having places without parents is definitely a factor in college. I think it means the physical pace moves a lot faster," Cowan said. "High school was a lot more conservative, and then at KU, or colleges in general, things get quite a bit more liberal and progressive," Cowan said. somebody. But when you think about it, you're drunk and everybody else is drunk and your not really going to make anything lasting," said Kristin Cowan, Wichita junior. KRISTIN COWAN Wichita junior As age increases, many students move past their first "I think it's really funny how a lot of my friends will go to Neon or go to parties and get all dressed up thinking tonight's the night that you'll meet somebody." serious relationships and the necessity to spend all their time with one person decreases. The focus on serious relationships dies down for some in college because of the wide selection of people to choose from. "There's so many people KRISTIN COWAN Wichita junior was like, 'Sweet, I'm in a relationship' and that's all I could think about, that's all I did," Fantini said. "In college it's kind of like, 'I'm in college to be in college'." Fantini said. "I'd like to meet some girls, and it sounds kind of stupid, but I'd also like to get my homework and other stuff school, they apply more focus towards schoolwork. Making time for homework and other extracurricular activities are also a factor on students' decisions for dating. As students study for their professions rather than the required classes of high done." While busy schedules discourage some students from committing long-term, others don't mind facing the challenges. Will Fernholz, Overland Park sophomore, said that although his girlfriend from high school attends a different university, they are still together. "When I came down here, it was something so brand new for me to have to be away from my girlfriend. I got hit with not only a lot of homework, but also a lot of fun things that I want to be doing, and you have to find a way to make time for your relationship as well," Fernholz said. In the end, dating in college, like high school, is what the individual makes of it. The added pressures of college and increasing physical pace affect, but do not determine, one's experience. — Edited by Meghan Murphy Not getting dirty isn't nerdy Abstinence provides protection from pregnancies, STDs BY MELISSA JOHNSON editor@kansan.com College is the four-year "joyride" that sometimes turns out to be a little longer than expected. Movies like "Van Wilder" have immortalized the ideal university lifestyle: wild parties, crazy antics, alcohol and of course, sex. Students are beset by the sexuality of today's world. University health programs and various clubs can be found handing out condoms and lube on cam- a means to prevent pregnancy, or is it also a means to avoid obtaining sexually transmitted diseases? According to the Centers for Disease Control, abstinence is to abstain from vaginal, anal and oral sex. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, oral sex still puts one at risk for HIV and other STDs, and anal sex actu- "It's easy to become addicted to things. [Abstinence is] my way of controlling myself and doing what I want to do." pus. Sex is in movies, advertisements and TV shows. LEETA THIESSEN Fayetteville, Ark., Junior The pursuit of sex usually begins in high school, and in some cases even earlier. But at the college level, sex is not just common, it's almost expected, whether it's a one-night stand or part of a serious relationship. People seem ashamed to acknowledge they are still virgins. One KU student asked that her name be left out of this article after admitting it. The definition of abstinence is debatable: is abstinence simply ally increases that risk. Some people choose to wait to have sex for fear of STDs. For others, there are spiritual and religious reasons. junior, said he thought people should just wait until they are emotionally ready for sex. Brett Turner, Overland Park "I don't think there's an invisible man in the sky who hates sex" Turner said. Leeta Thiessen, Fayetteville, Ark., junior, said abstaining from sex was a measure of self-discipline. "It's easy to become addicted to things." Thiessen said. "[Abstinence is] my way of controlling myself and doing what I want to do." Some students said losing virginity to the right person was important. Kylie Fernandez, Olathe junior, has been with her boyfriend for four years and has no regrets of having a sexual relationship with him. "Not that our relationship is based on sex, but it has brought us closer," Fernandez said. "If we didn't have that kind of relationship and trust, we probably wouldn't still be together." The decision to have sex should be a personal decision, but people need others and need to feel like they belong. In a 1985 study, Ellen Berscheid showed that most people will name the people closest to them — friends, romantic partners and family as who makes their lives complete. A 2002 study by Ed Diener and Martin Seligman showed that college students listed close relationships as more satisfying than money. It is, however, up to the individual to determine what sort of relationships those are, platonic or romantic. So even amidst all the "Van Wilders" out there, a student's "ideal" college lifestyle does not have to include sex.

Swinging allows people the freedom to experiment and can lead to more open communication, but it can also cause jealousy. Partners who swimp must trust each other and mutually agree about the practice. Web sites, stress-free sex prompt interest in swinging lifestyle BY VANESSA CUNNINGHAM editor@kansan.com What do tests, money, peer-pressure, and the future have in common? If you guessed stress, then you are correct. It's no shock that many college students choose to be single when the idea of a committed relationship can cause chaos and waste amounts of time and energy. It seems as if there is no balance for young adults who want to enjoy the benefits of a significant other, yet live in the fast lane like college students who have no strings attached. "Swinging" (not swing dancing) is not the first solution that comes to mind but there are people both young and old who prefer this type of casual commitment. Mat Wygal, Hill City junior, openly describes his own swinging lifestyle and the benefits thereof. "My girlfriend and I are priority to each other, but if we want to have a good time... we can. I don't plan on [swinging] forever. Neither of us are truly ready to settle down at this point in our lives." When asked whether jealousy ever played a part in the relationship, Wygal had only one thing to say: "We discuss e girlfriend knows that she comes first. Swinging is based on sex not emotions." As unusual as swinging may seem, the practice in which a person or couple engages in the act of exchanging sexual partners. Air Force pilots moved their wives closer to base and because of fatality rates inter-relations occurred and soon became the norm. The practice has often been a manner "We discuss everything and my girlfriend knows that she comes first. Swinging is based on sex not emotions." is more common than society would like to imagine. Adultfriendfinder, Swinglifestyle and Swingular are just a few of the Web sites where the interested can join communities that share the same feelings toward swinging. According to Holistic Wisdom, Inc., a Web site dedicated to sex education, swinging began in the 1950's and transformed from the term "wife-swapping" *Libchrist.* com also describes the manner in which swinging was started. U.S. MAT WYGAL Hill City junior in which couples can keep the fire alive in the bedroom, and possibly even bring the individuals in a couple closer. E r i c k a Brune, a nursing student at Johnson County Community College, is Wygal's girlfriend. "Swinging is something that I discovered due to friends of mine. They were open with each other and seemed happy. I had been in a few controlling relationships and they were a motivating factor for me. In past relationships I had wanted to cheat, but swinging allows me to do what I want and be completely honest with my partner. We don't feel limited." Brune mentions the negatives of a swinging relationship as well. "[Swinging] is not as easy as I thought it would be. I didn't know what I was getting into. Of course, everybody gets jealous but it's all about communication. Whether dating one person or three, it's good to be honest and communicate with each other. Right now I'm in no hurry to settle down but when I do, I think that a monogamous relationship will be beneficial for the children and the whole family." Students such as Kamaria Cartledge, Wichita sophomore have different outlooks toward the swinging lifestyle. "Swinging is immoral and sex should be sacred between couples. It basically signals that the relationship is neither strong nor valid." Benefits of swinging may include freedom from a straining relationship. Swingers are more apt to express their deepest desires with a partner who is just as open as them. Communication tends to be better than in other relationships, and everyone seems to win. The downside of swinging can be Edited by Chris Beattie jealousy and a lack of willingness to pursue the practice. Couples must have a certain level of trust to even consider swinging. There is no guarantee that one partner won't have a change of heart somewhere down the road and want to put an end to the practice.

"When building muscle, you make micro-fiber tears in your muscle," says Jill Urkoski, associate director for fitness at the Student Recreation Fitness Center. "But you have to give those microfibers time to heal. When they don't heal, that's when you see the muscle growth stop." Ukraski says the key is to strength train two to three days a week, giving the muscles you work on a certain day at least 24 to 48 hours to heal. The muscle groups you should be hitting are the chest, back, hamstrings, biceps, triceps, shoulders and calves. However, Urkoski also says that there are some muscles that need no time to heal. These are the core muscles, consisting of the abs and lower back. And even though we use our core muscles constantly, like when sitting, standing or lying, a few crunches never hurt anyone. In addition to boosting muscle, pumping iron on a regular basis can increase bone density. "Around your 30s, your "Around your 30s, your bones start gettingak, and the earlieru start weightning, theetter yourone densityI be,"xoski says.

"Mostly I just don't know what to do with them," Willis says. "It would be wasteful to throw them away, and I feel like I should at least keep the one I painted with nail polish in junior high, just because it's pretty." Willis, Oskaloosa freshman, isn't amassing content for a junk drawer, but is instead holding onto things that have been close by her side since she was in 6th grade: her cell phones. More than 500 million cell phones lie unused in the United States, according to an April 2007 report by the Environmental Protection Agency. The report estimated that 150 million more phones will be discarded this year. The number promises to grow each year, and the small devices can have big effects on your health if, when evicted from the drawer, they are thrown away rather than recycled. "A cell phone is so small that you don't even think twice about throwing it away," says Gerald Hartman, lead technician at Kansas E Recycle, a private electronics recycling service. "A computer is so bulky, most people know they should recycle it." The number of cell phone users in the United States more than tripped from 1996 to 2006 according to a survey by the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association. The rapid availability of cell phone upgrades has caused the increase in cell phone waste, as consumers purchase more newer phone models and more of their older phones enter the waste system. Discarded cell phones are a sliver of the growing problem of electronic waste, or e-waste: unwanted electronics that pose health and environmental risks if not properly recycled. Cell phones, along with computers, televisions and household appliances, contain lead and mercury, two metals that can cause damage to the brain and the peripheral nervous system. "They interfere with a lot of normal body processes," says Val Smith, professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology and the environmental studies program. "When it comes to heavy metals, my own bias is to make every effort to minimize exposure because they are such potent poisons." Smith references the second edition of the textbook Aquatic Pollution by Edward A.Laws, which outlines studies that found lead to interfere with the functioning of enzymes and to damage tissue throughout the central and peripheral nervous system. Lead accumulates most in bones and teeth, whereas mercury collects in the brain, destroying cells in the cerebellum and frontal cortex, which control movement and balance and reasoning and personality respectively. Smith says that because lead and mercury are excreted from the body extremely slowly, continued exposure to even small amounts can be harmful, as they can accumulate and place a greater burden on the body. Although cell phones contain only small amounts of these metals, Smith says the rapid rate at which phones are being discarded can potentially make them hazardous, and putting them in landfills with the rest of our trash isn't wise. "My worry is landfills that have been used for a long time, prior to modern regulations, and have no guarantee of not leaking." Smith says. "In a properly constructed landfill, there is an impervious liner so material placed in the landfill is trapped in place and can't leak into a water supply." Though the country as a whole does not consider e-waste hazardous—only 12 states have laws banning some form of e-waste disposal in landfills—businesses in Lawrence have programs in place to keep toxic materials in electronics out of the environment. Another option for students wanting to get old cell phones off their hands in an environmentally safe way is through the online business RIPMobile, which pays for old cell phones in the form of gift certificates good at businesses like Circuit City and Starbucks. "We make recycling feel like consuming, which everyone likes to do," says RIPMobile President and CEO Seth Heine, who started the business in 2005. Anyone recycling a cell phone through RIPMobile visits the business'Website,www.ripmobile com, where they can calculate the phone's value and choose the business through which they want to be reimbursed in gift certificates. Customers also have the option of donating the return on their old cell phones to charities. Phones that have resale value are cleared of all data, refurbished and sold at a low price throughout developing areas in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Western Asia. This process is what allows RIPMobile to pass on part of the phone's worth back to its original owner. Even if a phone has no value, RIPMobile still accepts it and recycles it under a no-landfill policy and in accordance with electronic waste standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. The phone's contents go through a recycling process that's safe for both humans and the environment, and by the end of the process, the potentially toxic metals in the phone have been reclaimed and can be made available for reuse. Heine says that although metals can never be destroyed, they can be captured and reused infinitely. Heine started RIPMobile to draw attention to a type of waste that even those who consistently recycle tend to overlook. College students make up a large part of his market, as he says most students upgrade their cell phones annually. "This is the quickest way to convert a drawer full of toxic waste into money for stuff you want." Heine says. Andy Haverkamp, Hoyt freshman, recently bought a new cell phone, and though he admits feeling a bit sentimental toward his old device, he thinks RIPMobile could find a better home for it. "It still a good phone if anyone needs it." Haverkamp says. "We've been through a lot, but I'd be willing to destroy our bond for a couple bucks, and if it keeps lead and mercury out of the environment." Genevieve Linville, Paola senior, says she'll also consider using RIPMobile to recycle her old cell phone, which at the moment is a toy for her little sister. "I think people should want to recycle." Linville says. "But this is good motivation to do it, especially for college students because we're so poor."

Schwager, Lawrence resident, has his own stand, Anthony's Beehive, which he started when he was only in third grade. There he sells products including jars of honey, chap sticks, honey straws, homemade candies and other products made from his beehives. Like many of the market attenders, Schwager's favorite part of the market is interacting with other community members. The bulk of Schwager's business comes from the four farmers markets that are hosted around Lawrence each week. This includes Saturday mornings from 7-11 am, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4-6 p.m. at 10th and Vermont and Wednesday afternoons from 4-6 p.m at 9th and Iowa. The Saturday Farmer's Market is the biggest one of the week. All four of the markets feature vendors selling only home-grown products. Market goers come early to get the best pick of produce, flowers, home-made crafts, and home-cooked food. The Lawrence Farmer's Market is the oldest in Kansas. It was first started in 1976 and runs from the second week in April to the second week in November.

Temperatures plummeted to -30 degrees Celsius. And the sun never set. This was the scene of Jerome Mitchell's 2005-2006 winter break. He was in the most southern, frigid, windiest spot on Earth—Antarctica. For a month during his junior year at Elizabeth City State University, he lived, ate, slept and researched there, operating the software for a plane radar with a team of scientists from the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets, a polar research center with headquarters at the University of Kansas. Mitchell, Chesapeake, Va., graduate student, is now pursuing his master's in computer science at the University. The youngest participant on the National Science Foundation-sponsored project, Mitchell spent Christmas and New Year's Day there, all the while working upwards of 12 hours a day collecting and processing data on the ice shelf. And although, regrettably, he wasn't able to see penguins during his stay, he took away a lot from his frigid travels. He learned how to set up tents on ice, survive in one of the harshest places in the world, and, he adds, how to better appreciate the seemingly small comforts of everyday life.

The food comes out in about two minutes, but it tastes just like a $3 meal.The shrimp are too squishy and too small.The rice, on the other hand, is not too greasy and tastes fine. ★★ Thai House 724 Massachusetts St. $11.20 This place is definitely expensive compared to other Asian restaurants in Lawrence. An interesting thing about the fried rice here is that you can choose how spicy you want the rice to be. The meal has all kinds of ingredients in it including onions, eggs, tomatoes and cucumbers. The shrimp are big and grilled to perfection. Still, it doesn't taste good enough to justify the price. China House 4821 W.6th St. Medium:$4.05 Large:$ 6.65 Medium: $4.05 Large:$ 6.65 The fried rice only has rice and shrimp. The shrimp are so small that there's hardly a few seconds of chewing before they're gone. The only appealing thing about this dish is a huge crunchy eggroll that comes out with the fried rice. ★★★ ★★ Thai Siam 601 S.Kasold Drive Reasonable price and perfect shrimp! The shrimp are well-balanced between crunchiness and juiciness. The mouth-watering taste of rice is just the perfect match for the grilled shrimps. It's worth to sit in one of those tiny tables. $6.50 ★★★★ Seongbae Cheon Get Your Greek or Club Shirts Printed Here!

He glances over at us then starts eyeing the artwork on the walls. Piller thinks for a minute then asks the man if he is an artist. He replies that he is a film maker. "See, everyone is an artist," Piller says to me. It's practically true. Lawrence is filled with aspiring artists. A person cannot walk into a local coffee shop or restaurant without seeing a showcase of work. Since the closing of Fields Gallery and Olive Gallery last year, artists have sought out local businesses for help in displaying their artwork and luckily many businesses hold out welcoming arms. Krystin Vandvort, senior --- **PLEASE NOTE:** The image is a cropped version of the text above. It may not be representative of the full content. printmaker, says it is up to the local businesses to display art. Vandervort displayed her work at The Bourgeois Pig and says that she believes the students at KU have an easier time showcasing their pieces because of their tight student community. Andrew Jika, junior, couldn't agree more. He says it's up to the students to have shows. Because of the vast number of students, an art show isn't hard to come by, whether it's at someone's house, a coffee shop or a gallery. However, some local artists have faced challenges in displaying their art. Dan Coburn works as a graphic designer in Topeka. He took up photography five years ago and just can't get enough. Coburn says to be successful as an artist one has to be relentless about showing work. He continues to market himself in the hopes that someday he will be able to quit his job and support himself by his art sales. Coburn sends press releases and e-mails to local media to gain recognition. He also serves as president of the Lawrence Photo Alliance, a membership-based organization for professional and amateur photographers. About 50 people attend the monthly meetings. Coburn credits persistence to his success thus far. "I just happened upon photography and just really loved it. It's become an obsession. I can't put my camera down." Diane Horning, owner of Diane's Artisan Gallery, 801 $\frac{1}{2}$ Massachusetts St., moved to Lawrence and opened her own gallery. Tired of displaying her weaves at art shows, Horning opened her own studio where she showcases her own pieces along with pieces by other local artists. Horning says that artists have to be passionate about their craft to stick with it. The ones living solely off the sales of their work are either living frugally or are successful. Yuri Zupancic, a painter, lives the stereotype of the starving artist but loves every minute of it. He says the passion for creativityandexpressionmakes up for all the hard times. "What every passionate artist wants is to keep making stuff. However that works in your life you just have to find the niche, finds ways to get by, find sponsors or find joy in poverty." Zupancic works two jobs to support his lifestyle. He works at Williams Burroughs Communications and does contract work through the Spencer Museum of Art, 1301 Mississippi. Zupancic says the challenge of living as an artist is living very minimally and without any expectations of the outcome of the art. He says doing whatever it takes is part of the dream of being an artist. "It's living comfortably, working for a temp agency and donating plasma to make ends meet until you find your market." Zupancic doesn't concentrate on making money off of his work. If a sale happens it's a bonus. He says he enjoys just having the chance to be an artist and show his work to the world.

DODGE JAN WARNER BROS. NEW YORK 20 L MY TWO WORLDS Left: Ibarra spends time with her American friends. Below: Ibarra poses with her family. I walked into my uncle's house carrying six grocery bags. As it is my uncle's tradition, an assortment of people I didn't know was invited to our "family gathering." I rushed to put the bags down and hug my aunt, barely noticing the people sitting in my uncle's yellow living room. My aunt was in the kitchen preparing the food for the whole family. My mom, a petite woman with dark hair, followed me into the kitchen after exchanging greetings with everyone in the house. "Por que no saluda? Acecurate que tu no eres gringa." (Why didn't you say hi? Remember, you are not a gringa.) "Alaide, que grocera eres!" (Alaide, you are so rude!) she said with the disapproving tone only a mother can give. I looked at her, confused.What did I do wrong now? Gringa is the way Mexicans refer to Americans. It doesn't have to have a negative connotation but my mom's tone of voice made it sound like an insult. It was my mom's subtle reminder that, although I speak English 95 percent of the time, I am still not She saw my indifference for my uncle's friends as something an American would do because it's okay in this culture. In my Mexican culture, however, my behavior was considered rude and pompous. American. PRIYANI BHADRA She had a point. I had gotten into the habit of ignoring the people I didn't know at a party because that's what is expected in the culture I live in most of the time. By Alaide Vilchis Ibarra In the 30 minutes of driving from Lawrence to Kansas City, I had suddenly arrived in a place where different attitudes were expected of me. It was not enough to just shake hands as a greeting; I had to say he with a kiss on the cheek, as is customary in Latin cultures. Life in my world in Kansas City contains 2 percent English, lots of tortillas, and a constant search for the most authentic Mexican restaurant; the one that will taste like the food back home. 2006 My life in Lawrence reflects that of a typical college student: living off campus with two roommates, going to classes and parties, and eating anything cheap for dinner. Yet, when I talk to my family in Mexico, the person who lives in Lawrence sounds as foreign to me as she sounds to them. Only seven years ago, when my family moved from Mexico to Kansas, I struggled so much understanding American culture. I stood in the middle of a gray hallway staring at everyone passing by, unable to understand a word of what they were saying. I felt as if the life I had been put into was a movie and I was the silent spectator. We moved to the United States because my parents wanted me to get a much better education, Unlike my friends, I learned about Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July in a little colorful classroom in the basement of a high school, not as a little kid. That reminder served as evidence that my parents succeeded. Years later, however, my mom had to remind me that I'm not a gringa while standing in a kitchen that smelled like Mexican rice. job and opportunities. They didn't think twice about leaving their comfortable jobs to broaden their children's world. We stored the stuffed animals I had since I was born, thousands of books my parents had collected, the old table that had been in my family since my parents got married, our beds, our kitchen supplies, and everything that had been part of our lives for years. My parents were willing to leave what we owned to open the world up to new opportunities. My learning to balance the culture I live in, and the culture I have known for most of my life is just evidence that they accomplished their goal. Living in two different cultures has taught me about myself. Because I had to face a different culture, I had to question my own. I try to learn from both cultures and understand their good and bad qualities rather than conform to a way of living. Most importantly, I learned that I don't have to let a culture define me. I can embrace both cultures and still be exactly who I want to be. I left my uncle's house that night after saying good-bye to everyone. I hopped in my dad's gold Ford Explorer and we began a 30 minute drive back to a different world. Jayplay FEATURING JEFFERSON'S THURSDAY: $ 6 PITCHERS KANSAN WEEKLY SPECIALS Carlos O'Kelly's.

It would not discuss the details of the investigation, but said it would notify those individuals whose names were in the materials early next week. The University Daily Kansan received two manila envelopes containing the confidential information of students, faculty and University employees on Tuesday. An anonymous source in a cover letter attached with the materials said the information was recovered from the department of mathematics. The Kansan returned the original contents to the University on Wednesday. The University said it needed to have the personal information before it could begin the investigation. University relations director Todd Cohen said the University held meetings Thursday about what action to take in the investigations. Cohen said the University was going through the information and that it would take some time to determine who was involved. He said students and faculty members involved in the incident wouldn't be notified until early next week after all the information had been viewed. An employee in the department of mathematics, Gloria Prothe, was implicated in the cover letter for not disposing of the confidential information properly. Prothe said she couldn't react to the situation because she hadn't seen the cover letter or the personal information. She said she had been contacted by the University and would cooperate with the investigation. She said the University asked about the department's procedure when disposing of personal information. "I told them that we do have a policy to shred confidential information," Prothe said. Some of the materials included in the envelopes sent to The Kansan included Social Security numbers, credit card information, student grades and tests, graduate teaching assistant rosters and KUID numbers. The Kansan contacted students involved with the incident on Thursday. Joanna Roche, Overland Park graduate student, hadn't heard about the information leak. An online paper grader application containing Roche's address, e-mail address, phone number, KUID and class grades was included in the materials sent to The Kansan. Roche said it was something that needed to be taken care of. "Somebody messed up," Roche said. "When they tell me they're going to shred it, I believe that they're going to." Grant Buffington, St. Louis junior, also had personal information in the materials. He said he didn't feel very comfortable that his information was available. He said in the future he would like to know more about who handles it and where it went. Other students weren't as concerned with the private information leak. Milad Jowkar, Mashhad, Iran, sophomore, said it didn't bother him that information like his KUID, phone number, e-mail address and grades were available, but if it were his Social Security or credit card number he would be concerned. "If it included my account number, it would cause a problem," Jowkar said. "When it involves money that's different." Check kansan.com to follow updates regarding the investigation.

When she returned for her second semester in January 2005, Sara faced a battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a cancer affecting lymph nodes and other immune tissue. Nearly three years later, Sara's victory against cancer encouraged her to support others struggling with the same disease. She will lead a team of walkers in "Light the Night," a fundraiser for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Saturday. When Sara, now an Overland Park senior, experienced lower back pain that didn't go away during winter break of her freshman year, she made an appointment at Watkins Memorial Health Center. She said the doctor had been researching cancer symptoms and realized the back pain was serious. After a chest X-ray, the doctor told Sara that she had found a mass in her chest and that Sara needed to see an oncologist immediately. "I just sat in my car in the parking lot and cried," Sara said. "I was trying to figure out what happened." "Cancer is the biggest emotional roller coaster anyone could ever go through." Sara said. "You're extremely scared and sad for yourself. Then you're bitter, and 'Why me?' Finally, you come to the point of 'Well OK, I'm going to have to do this.'" The oncologist diagnosed Sara with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Sara left the University of Kansas to spend the next six months undergoing chemotherapy treatments at the Kansas City Cancer Center. Sara dreaded the taste of the chemicals and the "vein pain" caused by all the chemicals in her bloodstream during three- to four-hour chemotherapy sessions. She said the worst part was staying strong during a time when so much was unknown. Sara knew she could count on the support of her father, Dave Turnbull, who had run marathons to raise money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for eight years before she was diagnosed. The diagnosis gave Dave a personal stake in his charity work. Dave said he had raised about $25,000 for the society through a series of seven marathons before Sara got sick. Sara said she went to almost all of her father's marathons and was extremely proud of him. After Sara's first chemotherapy treatment in February 2005, Dave ran a marathon in Austin, Texas, on his 60th birthday. The back of his shirt read, "I'm running for Sara." "I knew the whole time it was going to be a good cause," Dave said. "But after Sara was diagnosed it gave it a whole new perspective in my mind." Sara said she depended on the support of her family and friends. Her boyfriend at the time, Evan Thompson, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said he tried to visit every day and realized the little things helped. Thompson said he would bring Sara a different drink after each chemotherapy treatment because the chemicals and flavors would taste bad if she drank the same thing every time. Thompson said watching someone close to him fight cancer was life-changing. "It put a big importance on the sanctity of life for me," Thompson said. "Every day I just started realizing you may not have another." Dave said Sara's battle with lymphoma brought Sara, her mother and him closer. He said that Sara depended on their support but that they also needed Sara to be strong. "It was the worst six months of my life," Dave said. "But in one way it was the best with the way it brought us together." Sara's cancer went into remission in October 2005. She said she returned to the University with an altered outlook on life. "It was weird to hear people complain about the little things," Sara said. "There's so much more going on." Sara also became more involved with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the "Light the Night" program. Saturday will mark Sara's third year participating in Lawrence's walk. Sara will lead her team, "Striders for Survivors." She will be joined by friends and family and encouraged others to participate. Dave will also lead a team, "Sara's Strollers." » ENTERTAINMENT Edited by Tara Smith Lied Center offers Pink Floyd tribute Fans who never had the chance to check out Pink Floyd in concert will be able to — sort of.

KULTURE Groups use sidewalk as advertising canvas BY HELEN MUBARAK editor@kansan.com When Andy Haverkamp wanted to advertise his candidacy for Student Senate, chalking was his preferred medium of expression. "It it's essentially free advertising." Haverkamp, Hoyt freshman, said. "You just have to buy the chalk." Students walking anywhere on campus are likely to see chalk advertisements for many groups and organizations scattered on the sidewalks. Stephanie Filardo, Owensville, Mo. senior, noticed the chalking during her first campus visit. Filardo said the chalk messages contributed to the culture of the University of Kansas. "It's a big part of campus," Filardo said. "The sidewalks are our billboards." "Chalking is the No. 1 way to Marc Langston, Wichita senior, agreed that chalking was part of the culture at the University. He is cochair of Barack Chalk Jayhawks and a member of KU Students for Barack Obama, a club that uses chalk messages to advertise its functions. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY JON GOERING The Student Involvement and Leadership Center lists nearly 400 student groups, so for clubs and organizations that advertise on campus, visibility is extremely important. advertise on campus in terms of visibility," Langston said. "It's what students see the most." Campus sidewalks also display ads for area businesses, but Filardo said she disliked chalk messages that were not sponsored by student groups. "Sometimes it's nice to know about things that are going on off-campus, but at the same time, there are a lot of bars that will advertise," she said. "It's one thing when they're advertising a group that's coming, but when they're advertising their drink specials and the majority of the population (at the University) is under 21, I don't think that's very tasteful." Josh Goetting, Leavenworth law student and former chairman of KU College Republicans, disagreed. Although his organization competes with area businesses for students' attention, he enjoys seeing chalk advertisements from off-campus businesses. "it's nice to know the drink specials every day of the week," Goetting said. "I think it's just like with student groups — chalking is easy and cheap and it doesn't require expertise." "I'd prefer it if it was only students," Horras said. "Other establishments have a bigger advertising budget. Sidewalk chalking is a way for students to advertise to other students in an accessible way." Ashlynn Horras, Knoxville, Iowa, sophomore and communications director of Queers & Allies, said her club relied on chalking to appeal to students who would not already know about club functions. Horras did not think area businesses should be banned from chalking, but she said she did favor student-sponsored messages. JB Stout's Sports Bar & Grill, 721 Wakarusa Drive, a locally owned business, uses chalking to attract the attention of University students by advertising specials. "We just seem so far away from campus, and we wanted students to know where we are at", general manager Stephanie Craig said. Increasing community involvement is certainly the goal for the businesses and organizations that advertise on campus sidewalks and also was the main goal of Haverkamp's chalking campaign. ("Chalking) helped me make my name stick." Haverkamp said.

OREAD INN Request for Inn denied; height exceeds standards The Historic Resources Commission unanimously denied an application from developers Paul Warner and Thomas Fritzel to build a hotel at 618 W. 12th St., the current location of The Crossing and Beat the Bookstore. Members of the commission said the proposed structure, called Oread Inn, did not meet the guidelines consistent with nearby historical environs of the Hancock and Oread Districts and the Snow House. Oread Inn's height was the biggest reason it didn't meet standards. The proposed building had a height of about 94 feet. Although that height was 14 feet shorter than it was when the developers went before the Commission in August, member Jody Meyer still thought the hotel would be too high. "This building devours any of the other buildings we can use as a reference point," Meyer said. "And not only is it tall, it's on one of the highest points in Lawrence." Members also said they disagreed with the developers' need to tear down a house at 1142 Indiana St. that is leased for apartments. Although the Historic Resources Commission denied the application, multiple members said they liked the idea of the project and said the developers modified their proposal well since their last meeting in August. Member Sean Williams said the project mainly needed improvements with its size. "Scanning it down would be excellent," Williams said. "If you could do that and make it economically feasible that would be better." The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission will listen to the developers' application at 6:30 p.m. Monday. It can overturn the Historic Resources Commission's decision. on campus Tom Gregoire of Ohio State University will present the Margaret Schutz Gordon lecture at 9 a.m. in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

Construction on the chapel ended earlier this month. New landscaping was one of the biggest renovations. Linda Stewart sat in Danfortn Chapel more than three years ago at her grandson's wedding. "There was no place for the weddin party to go." Stewart said. "It's such a wonderful place, but such an awkward place, I thought," Stewart said. She said attending the wedding convinced her that the chapel needed to be updated. She said that the chapel had no place for the bride to dress, no hallway for the bride to stand in before walking down the aisle and the organ took up too much room in the chapel. "I sat there and thought, 'Wouldn't it be fun to update this?'" Stewart said. Stewart and her husband, John Stewart III, a University alumnus, were among the donors who contributed to updating the chapel. The renovated chapel will be re-dedicated tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. in a donor recognition ceremony. The chapel was originally dedicated in 1946 and named for William Danforth. The ceremony is invitation-only, but an open house for the public will follow at 3:30 p.m. RIGHT, the chapel received a new bride's room and new floors among other additions. The first wedding since the renovations was held at the chapel last weekend. Lisa Scheller, senior editor for the University Endowment Association, said that the construction began in March and cost about $900,000. The construction ended this month and the first wedding since the renovations was held at the chapel last weekend. Scheller said the construction was funded entirely through private donations. Stewart said she and her family were involved in deciding what to update. Big renovations include the addition of a bridal room, new flooring, a heating and cooling system and new landscaping. Stewart said her family would continue to be involved in maintaining the landscaping. Rueben Perez, director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said that no weddings were displaced because of the renovations because the SILC, which schedules events for the chapel, planned ahead Perez said that in addition to weddings, the chapel is also often used for club meetings and greek initiation ceremonies. Anyone interested in reserving the chapel should contact the Student Involvement and Leadership Center at (785) 864-4861. Edited by Jeff Briscoe SPEAKER Journalist tells of extraordinary people Bob Dotson explores every walk of life BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com "What makes me happy is going out and meeting people and doing stories," Dotson said. "It's not a bad way to dedicate Bob Dotson is a storyteller, in more than 30 years as a journalist, Dotson has traveled the globe telling the stories of people who might seem ordinary but are in many ways extraordinary. way to dedicate your life." --- Dotson, a correspondent for NBC News and host of the series "American Story with Bob Dotson," can be seen on the "Today Show" Dotson and "NBC Nightly News." He is also writer and host of "Bob Dotson America" on the Travel Channel, Dotson, a 1968 graduate of the School of Journalism, has won numerous awards during his career. Dotson is the featured speaker at Editors Day on Saturday in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The event begins at 1:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Dotson has traveled to all 50 states. He has told stories as far ranging as an 18-year-old boy from Westport, Mass., where neighbors came together to help him buy a farm, to brothers who searched to end a 65-year-old mystery: the location of their father's sunken World War II submarine near Kiska Island, Alaska. The U.S. Navy never found the ship. The Japanese never found the ship. But the brothers did. They used sonar and other high-tech equipment and paid for it on their own dime. At the University, Dotson originally wanted to become a lawyer but found he enjoyed journalism much more. He worked as a news director and reporter for KANU-FM, the University's radio station at the time. Bruce Linton, former journalism professor and head of the radio/television/film department at the time, got to know Dotson quite well. "We saw he had a lot of potential and was a very good writer." Linton said. "And obviously today, he's still a very good writer." Ann Brill, dean of the School of Journalism, said at the heart of telling a good story was creativity and serving as a voice for people. "People like Bob Dotson deserve our respect for the stories that he does tell," she said. "I think basically what has guided me through my career is I have a willingness to say yes most of the time, and a lot of curiosity to go and find America," Dotson said. SCIENCE In the future Dotson said he wanted to continue doing what he has done for the past three decades. - Edited by Ashlee Kieler World does revolve around Lawrence Panel discussion about geography reveals it is no longer a priority for schools BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com TRU Jon Goering/KANSAN Brian McLendon, center, engineering director at Google, goes over the panel discussion with Jerome Dobson, KU professor of geography, from left, Greg Hurd, host of TV show "River City Weekly," and Alexander Murphy, professor of geography at the University of Oregon, on Thursday night at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. McLendon grew up in Lawrence and was the co-founder of Google Earth. Lawrence is the center of the world, according to Google Earth. Perhaps that is because the cofounder of engineering for the satellite mapping company is a KU alumnus. Brian McClendon returned to the Earth's center last night to join two professors in making a case for what they called a largely forgotten field: geography. McClendon joined Jerry Dobson, professor of geography at the University of Kansas, and Alexander Murphy, professor of geography at the University of Oregon, in presenting "World Hot Spots: What Google Earth and Geography Tell Us About War, Peace and Politics" at the Dole Institute on Thursday. The presentation started off with jokes surrounding Miss Teen South Carolina's response to a question concerning the inability of many U.S. children to locate the United States on a map. The three speakers said that her now-infamous reply, in which she said many people in the United States could not afford maps, cited a cause for alarm. "It is not just our beauty contestants that have these problems," Dobson said. "We face a society in which national leaders don't understand fundamental geography." Dobson said that of the top-20 private universities in the United States, only two have geography departments. "There is an old oke," said Dobson. "What is the most common first name for a high school geography teacher? The answer is coach." Many universities stopped making geography a priority after World War II. He said that the lack of geographical knowledge led to misconceptions of the world and misguided foreign policy decisions. "For the past 60 years, we've had more quagmires than victories," Dobson said. "This coincides with the American purge of geography. We're playing a game of blind man's bluff." Alexander Murphy said part of the problem was the way people viewed the field of geography. He said most people thought of it only as a way to locate states and capitals. "When you say the word 'geography,' it connotes lists of memorization facts," he said. "There are a lot of other things that have come to the fore such as locations of oil resources and infrastructure." Brian McClendon said he hoped the availability of Google Earth software would help people embrace and fully understand geography. "The problem with geography is communication," McClendon said. "The President of the United States is not a technical person, most people aren't. If you show him a presentation that goes over his head, it's gone. If you can keep it simple, he has a chance to understand." The speakers said that current U.S. foreign policy complications in the Middle East had to do with geographical ignorance in national leaders. All three agreed that universities needed to better promote geography so that future generations could avoid blunders when examining borders and demographics. They stressed the need for everyone to understand not only locations of physical borders but religious and cultural borders as well. "Geography is to space what history is to time," said Dobson. "War is God's way of teaching geography." Edited by Amelia Freidline BWCU NEW FOR KU!

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2007 EDITORIAL BOARD WWW.KANSAN.COM PAGE 5A Student Senate executive compensation evaluated In the overall context of the Big 12 and the University, Student Senate financial benefits are not unjust EDITORIAL BOARD This year, seven Student Senate officials will each receive roughly $14,700 in tuition and salary compensation. This development arrives amidst questions of whether Student Senate does more work vis-à-vis other student organizations and whether this work deserves an admittedly generous financial package. After examining KU's student government in the context of other schools in the Big 12, it is apparent that these leaders' compensation is neither unfair nor out of the ordinary. Among Student Senate's responsibilities are allocating funds to student groups, lobbying local and state governments on campus issues (such as deferred maintenance) and implementing positive changes on campus. Fall Break, the Student Recreation Center and the Multicultural Resource Center are all the result of Senate initiatives. Senate goals for this year include instituting a "Deadweek" between the end of classes and finals and providing a nighttime campus shuttle to ensure safety for students. A lack of knowledge of Senate's achievements should not be construed to mean that Senate has none. Upon researching the methods by which other Big 12 schools compensate their student government officials, neither the sum of KU's compensation nor its manner stand out as unreasonable. The University of Nebraska at Lincoln, the University of Texas at Austin and Iowa State University all provide some sort of tuition credit, and virtually all of the respondent schools provide some sort of monetary compensation in the form of salary, tuition and/or scholarships. It was also not unusual for schools to provide practical assistance, such as parking passes and work-study programs. The University of Nebraska at Lincoln student body president, David Solheim receives football tickets in addition to tuition assistance and a parking pass. Iowa State University provides by far the most generous compensation package. Current Student Body President Brian Phillips is receiving roughly $28,000 this year for full out-of-state tuition, fees and room and board. Phillips pointed out that this kept him from having to seek outside employment (which most schools forbid their officers to do), allowing him to give full attention to his duties, which include overseeing $5 million in allocation funds. Both Phillips and Andrew Solomon, student government president at the University of Texas at Austin (who receives $10,000 annually in tuition and salary), said that when divided by the hours that they and other compensated officials work per week, this payment ends up being less than the federal minimum wage. Student government officials also pointed out the great opportunity cost involved in serving as executives. Defending KU's compensatory policy, Matt Wagner, student body president at Kansas State University, said. "It is important to remember that these student leaders are sacrificing a position of employment outside of the University, where they could be making significantly more money during the school year than what they are from dedicating their time, talents and efforts in representing the student body of KU." Other officials echoed this sentiment, saying that service exceeded pay and that student government officers would be willing to serve even without wages. Before implementing new policies, schools such as Kansas State University and the University of Texas at Austin researched other schools' payment methods (including conference schools and other universities across the country). Respondents were adamant that officials never voted to knowingly give themselves a raise; votes were cast in the full Senate without knowing who would specifically benefit (in KU's case, the decision to increase compensation came from KU administration, not from within the Senate itself). In most cases, the people voting to increase compensation will never be personally affected. It may come across as unfair to compensate Senate officials but not other campus leaders. Bluntly, Student Senate (in terms of the time demanded of the seven compensated executives) cannot be compared to most other University-affiliated organizations on campus. Such organizations rely on Student Senate for funding and support; Senate is a supranational entity in the context of KU. Groups could exist without Senate, yes, but would be responsible for their own means of operation. Without funding from Senate, most groups would be unable to attend conferences, host events or schedule guest speakers without substantial outside funding at the cost of their members. In addition, the vast majority of senators will remain uncompensated, as their campus group counterparts are. While money is a perk, it is probably not enough to motivate anyone to run for higher office who wouldn't have done so regardless of pay. Rather than viewing Student Senate compensation for the top seven officials as unfair or unwarranted, it should be seen as a way of ensuring that officials have the means to fund their educations, while at the same time fulfilling their obligations to the University. Document leaks expose irresponsibility A University-wide, standardized policy of thorough file disposal is a necessity When people choose to become affiliated with the University of Kansas, whether as students, faculty or other employees, they knowingly surrender personal information to the institution under the assumption that this critical data will be safeguarded and kept private. Unfortunately, elements within the University have violated this trust by disposing of sensitive materials in a less-than-secure manner. The lessons from this event must be absorbed to prevent future errors; only luck has prevented identity theft thus far. Tuesday, the Kansan, along with the Lawrence Journal-World and the Kansas City Star, received two envelopes from an anonymous source containing copies of numerous personal records that allegedly originated from Snow Hall. Among the contents of the envelopes were Social Security numbers, addresses, insurance details and grades. The contents were eventually returned to the University after the Kansan had reported the story. A task force, consisting of officials from numerous administrative offices, is currently investigating the breach. While it is mildly comforting that the University has taken notice of this glaring violation, the obvious conclusion is that such a group should have existed long before now. It should not take a near-catastrophe for the University to take the safety of personal information seriously. According to Lynn Bretz, director of university communications, there is no University-wide, consistent method of data disposal. It is unacceptable to allow departments to throw out records however they see fit. It is not enough to lay blame on one person or even one department. It is easy to assume that eliminating one weak link will fix the underlying problem; that is not the case. The buck must stop somewhere, and the University as a whole must take responsibility for the failings of its departments. Personal data breaches, whether by accident or design, have occurred before at KU—several times. The last incident of this sort occurred in July 2007, when graded papers and student information were found in empty offices in Wescoh Hall. In April 2004, hackers successfully accessed the Watkins Memorial Health Center and were able to view prescription records. On other occasions, financial and housing information were made available to the public. Leaks, electronic and printed, have occurred no less than four times before this most recent incident. Of the five instances on record, only one was carried out with malicious intent. It is one thing for someone to deliberately set out to acquire these records. It is another—and completely worse—issue entirely for the University to so cavalierly dispose of them. Thieves are expected to treat property with a lack of respect; for the University to do so is irresponsible. The documents allegedly left in recycling bins and a dumpster outside of Snow Hall were not merely papers. They encompassed the most guarded aspects of people's lives. Identity theft remains a critical concern. A person's entire financial livelihood could have been compromised, their reputation destroyed. This misstep must never repeat itself. Following this latest development, a standardized and reliable method of information disposal should be a top priority. Members of the University community should be able to trust KU with their data. The troubling feeling is that such confidence will not be forthcoming, and there is no sound reason to think that this event will be the last—or worst—of its kind.

King First black starter dies, leaves legacy for players PAGE 1B PHOTO COURTESY OF SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY Maurice King faced obstacles of racism during his KU basketball career. He paved the way for black players to come. Services for King are at 11 a.m. today at the Fortress of Hope Church in Kansas City, Mo. BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Maurice King never earned All-American status like his teammate Wilt Chamberlain. Time and Newsweek never featured King in stories. But when it came to making life easier, for black athletes, King was Chamberlain's equal. King became the first black starter in Kansas basketball history in 1954 and touched lives until his death Monday. Ronald Lindsay, the pastor at King's church, saw firsthand how King could affect others. "A young man who had just spoken with Maurice once told me "Wilt may have been the face of KU basketball, but Maurice was the soul." Lindsay said. "In terms of facing the struggles of being an African-American in that time, he really carried it." SUCCEED IN SPITE OF OBSTACLES When King arrived in Lawrence in 1953, he became the second African-American to play for the Jayhawks. Later in his career, he became the first black starter and played in the 1957 Final Four. King faced racism and prejudice but never responded with anger. Ron Loneski, a teammate of King at Kansas, said King provided an example for future black athletes. Dick Harp was ready to check his team into a luxurious Dallas hotel during the 1957 NCAA Tournament when he discovered the hotel staff had a problem. Actually, two problems. King passed away at his home in Kansas City, Mo., after a bout with cancer. His visitation is at 9 a.m. today at Concord Fortress of Hope Church in Kansas City. Funeral services begin at 11 a.m. The staff wouldn't allow King and Chamberlain to stay because they were black. Harp, Kansas' coach from 1956 to 1964, had enough. Hotels had already turned down King before so this time Harp decided to move the whole team to a more modest hotel. It didn't get any easier for King after that. He couldn't even escape from prejudice on the basketball court. During a game on that same Dallas trip, fans held up a sign that read "Niggers Go Home." "It was sort of an evolution for everybody that followed," Loneski said. "Maurice made it that much easier." "He endured a lot of tough times," Falkenstein said. "But he was always very quiet and dignified — a humble person." Max Falkenstein, who broadcasted for the Jayhawks from 1946 to 2006, witnessed all of it. Racism didn't just exist in the South in the 1950s. Loneski said King faced it in Lawrence. Restaurants and movie theaters often refused to let him enter. "He didn't know what to expect when he came because he'd never played with whites," Falkenstein said. "He was apprehensive about the whole thing." The new situation and racial obstacles didn't hold King back. He averaged 3.6 points per game his first year on the varsity team. The next season he scored 14.3 points per game, and he averaged 9.7 points per game as a senior in 1957. first. He came from R.T. Coles Vocational High School in Kansas City, Mo., an allblack school. The culture shock was hard on King at Seven players competed for the Jayhawks in the 1957 National Championship game. After Maurice King's death Monday, only one player is still alive: Ron Loneski. "It's a little scary," Loneski said. "It kind of makes you wow." a legacy almost lost King's numbers went down that year, but the team had more success.

Last year Stuckey suffered a lower-leg injury Strong leader on field, off Sophomore safety stays close to home, mom BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com At the snap of the ball, free safety Darrell Stuckey backpedaled into pass coverage. A split-second later, Stuckey turned his gaze across the line of scrimmage and focused on the eyes of Toledo quarterback Aaron Opelt. He read the quarterback's intentions perfectly; as the ball left Opelt's hand, Stuckey broke toward the intended receiver and left his feet to pick the pass from the air. After snatching the ball away, Stuckey fell to the turf, unable to return the interception for any yardage. Why the slip-up? Well, he was moving a bit too quickly. "Sometimes I react too fast and actually get myself out of position so it makes plays more difficult than they should be," Stuckey said. "On Saturday, it could have been a catch where I could have ran and advanced the ball. But I got myself out of position and instead of backpedaling the whole time I made an awkward catch and ended up falling as I caught it." Playing at full speed is taking some getting used to for the sophomore. Stuckey spent much of last season sidelined by an early-season lower leg injury. He never got back to 100 percent in the seven games he did play. The injury limited his flexibility, created a hitch in his gait and slowed him considerably, he said. Finally back at full-speed, Stuckey is one of the reasons Kansas is ranked 10th nationally in passing yards allowed per game. "The kid was playing his heart out last year, but he didn't have a full range of motion," Coach Mark Mangino said. "He was limping all over the place, he couldn't get to the highest point of the ball, and he got beat a few times over the top when a healthy Darrell Stuckey wouldn't have let that happen." The toughness and leadership Stuckey showed as he struggled through the 2006 season earned him the respect of his teammates, Mangino said. That respect has car-ried over into this season. Though Stuckey is only a sophomore, teammates and coaches usually include his name when they discuss leadership. A NATURAL FIT The KU coaching staff did not need to put much work into attracting their team leader to Lawrence — the road map did most of the recruiting. Stuckey, a Kansas City native, decided to attend the University the summer before his senior year and never had second thoughts. He was so dead-set on becoming a Jayhawk that he had his high school coach at Washington High tell each of the 20 schools that pursued him that he was intent on honoring his commitment to Kansas. The reason Stuckey declined offers from schools such as Northwestern and Kansas State was simple. The closer he stayed to Kansas City, the easier it would be for his mother to watch him play. "She's a single-parent mother, and I can count on my hands the number of games she's missed in the one-and-a-half decades I've been playing sports," Stuckey said. "Having a single-parent mother who was providing for multiple kids and only missed so many of her son's games in all those years — it just wouldn't have felt right." A LEADER This spring, Stuckey took his leadership role to a higher level when he represented the entire Kansas Athletics Department at the NCAA National Leadership Conference in Orlando, Fla. He was one of 325 student-athletes chosen to represent their schools at the five-day conference. The student-athletes attended presentations and traded ideas about how to improve their campuses. "We went through different leadership evaluations and classes and found out how we can change our campus," Stuckey said.

Even though the team is new to the club sports arena, all of the players on the Kansas club baseball team have plenty of experience. They all played high school ball, and several played with college programs as well. Mike Irvine, Chicago senior, hits grounds to other players on the Kansas club baseball team Thursday night at Holom Sports Complex. Irvine is one of four who founded the team three years ago. There are twenty men on the varsity team and fifteen on junior varsity. If all goes according to plan, the varsity team will finish the season at the national tournament in Fort Myers, Fla., at the Red Sox spring training facility. Current president B.J.

He saw an absence of available baseball leagues in the Lawrence area Jessica Crabaugh/KANSAN Mike Irvine, Chicago senior Kyle Knutson, Overland Park junior Kevin Sterk, Oak Lawn, Ill. graduate student key players and decided to start his own. This year, the team held a three-week try to select the best players from more than 50 hopefuls. The team is a member of the National Club Baseball Association, which has 180 teams altogether. Last year the team posted a 12-2 record and narrowly missed winning the conference title. Rains said expectations for this season were high, but most importantly, he hoped that the team could be competitive and build camaraderie among the players. Club baseball provides an opportunity for athletes who are unwilling or unable to continue their baseball careers in varsity college programs to stay close to the game. The club baseball team supports itself through many fundraising efforts and some donations. Coach Ritch Price and the Kansas baseball team took notice of these efforts this year and decided to donate their old uniforms to the club team. The players will get the opportunity to prove themselves this weekend in an eight-team tournament at the University of Illinois. Edited by Jeff Briscoe SOCCER SOCCER Home for the weekend, Jayhawks face Illini, Gators The KU soccer team will be playing on its own turf this weekend, hosting No. 25 Illinois at 5 p.m. on Friday, and No. 20 California at 1 p.m. on Sunday. The Jayhawks game on Friday against Illinois will be their first since breaking a losing streak on Tuesday. The Illini, 3-2, has lost two of its games to Missouri at home and at UCLA. Kansas will have the home advantage this weekend, which will be beneficial when playing Illinois. Last season, the Illini lost eight of their games; seven of them were away. Illinois upset the No. 9 Florida Gators, 1-0, on Sept. 14. Not only did the team win, it also led the Gators in shot attempts, 14-5, and in corner kicks, 8-3. On Sunday, the Jayhawks will face off against 5-1 California for the second year in a row. Last season, Kansas lost 1-0 to the Golden Bears.

But is it going to be that easy for the Sooners? The environment at Skelly Stadium should be terrific as Tulsa welcomes Oklahoma to its stadium for the first time in five years. The Golden Hurricanes have a lot going for them. New coach Todd Graham and new offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn have led the offense to score 45 points per game and rank fourth in the nation in total offense. But Oklahoma not only ranks third nationally in total offense but second in total defense. The wait is over; Big 12 conference play begins Saturday in Stillwater, Okla. Oklahoma State is in desperate need of a win. If the Cowboys lose to the Red Raiders and fall to 1-3 on the season, their aspirations of bowl eligibility become harder to realize. TEXAS TECH (3-0) AT OKLAHOMA STATE (1-2) Cowboy quarterback Zac Robinson will make his second career start and has to get the ball in the hands of junior play-making receiver Adarius Bowman. Red Raider redshirt freshman receiver Michael Crabtree is one of the nation's biggest surprises through three weeks, ranking first in the nation in receptions per game and second in receiving yards per game. NO. 12 SOUTH CAROLINA (3-0) AT NO. 2 LOUISIANA STATE (3-0) To say both of these teams have great defenses would be an understatement. The Tigers and the Gamecocks are ranked in the top 10 in nearly every defensive category and could prove to be the two best defenses in the nation. South Carolina's defensive prowess starts with a pair of quick and strong linebackers, brothers Casper and Jasper Brinkley. The Brinkley brothers will try to limit Tiger running backs Keiland Williams and Jacob Hester's production on first and second downs to bring about third-and-long situations. Louisiana State is going to send pressure at Gamecock quarterback Blake Mitchell by blitzing safeties Craig Stelz and Danny McCray often. NO. 22 GEORGIA (2-1) AT NO. 16 ALABAMA (3-0) It's only been a week since Nick Saban recorded his first big victory as the Crimson Tide coach, a 41-38 victory against Arkansas. But there's no time to celebrate because he has an even tougher team coming to Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Saturday. Bulldog sophomore quarterback Matthew Stafford has many talented receivers to throw to, including deep threat Sean Bailey and speedy Mikey Henderson. But this game should be won on the defensive side of the ball. Bulldog middle linebacker Dannell Ellerbe makes plays all over the field and defensive end Marcus Howard has been quick off the edge against offensive linemen. NO.21 KENTUCKY (3-0) AT ARKANSAS (1-1) This could be a high-scoring game highlighted by each team's respective Heisman candidate. Razorback junior running back Darren McFadden is the obvious Heisman candidate and he is off to a good start this season with six yards per carry, five receptions and touchdown pass. Wildcat quarterback Andre Woodson is quite as well known as McFadden but is gaining considerable Heisman hype after leading his team to a comeback victory against Louisville last week. Woodson has completed 68 percent of his passes on the year and has yet to throw an interception. OTHER GAMES: RICE (0-3) AT NO. 7 TEXAS (3-0) The way the Longhorns have tipped past their first three nonconference opponents has some wondering what's wrong in Austin, Texas. They'll have a real reason to be concerned if they can't put away the Owls, who have been blown out two weeks in a row by Big 12 teams. BALL STATE (2-1) AT NO. 24 NEBRASKA (2-1) The Cornhuskers defensive front seven need to find a remedy for their complacency — fast. The Cardinals have a solid offense and have won two games in a row on the road. ILLINOIS STATE (2-1) AT NO. 25 MISSURI (3-0) Missouri's defense is ranked 92nd in the nation and has given up at least 24 points in each of its first three games. The Tigers need to use the game against the FCS Redbirds as a tune-up before the start of Big 12 play. BAYLOR (2-1) AT BUFFALO (1-2) The Bulls pass defense has given up 235 yards per game. Bears quarterback Blake Szymanski averages 355 yards per game through the air. MIAMI (OHIO) (1-2) AT COLO-RADO (1-2) Buffalo senior linebacker Jordon Dizon leads the nation with 16.3 tackles per game. RedHawks sophomore linebacker Caleb Bostic is ninth in the nation with 12.3 tackles per game. IOWA STATE (1-2) AT TOLEDO (0-3) The Rockets are 30-5 at the Glass Bowl under coach Tom Anstutz including a victory against the last Big 12 team they played there, Kansas, in 2006. SOONERS 23 SOONERS 84 WASHINGTON STATE (2-1) AT NO.1 SOUTHERN CAL (2-0) Stafon Johnson? C.J. Gable? Chaucey Washington? It's never certain which Trojan running back will take off on any given Saturday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Oklahma running back Allen Patrick runs in for a touchdown Sept. 15 in the second quarter against Utah State in Norman, Okla., Tulsa welcomes Oklahoma to its stadium for the first time in five years Saturday. NO. 3 FLORIDA (3-0) AT MISSISSIPPI (1-2) The Rebels defense has looked lost this season without leader Patrick Willis, who graduated last year. EAST CAROLINA (1-2) AT NO. 5 WEST VIRGINIA (3-0) The Pirates strength is their rush defense. But it hasn't been introduced to the likes of Steve Slaton or Noel Devine. NORTHWESTERN (2-1) AT NO. 8 OHIO STATE (3-0) The first time 222-pound Badger running back PJ. Hill meets hard-hitting Hawkeye linebacker Mike Klinkenborg, the ground at The Wildcats lost to Duke last week, effectively ending the Blue Devils' nation-high 22-game losing streak.

NO. 10 PENN STATE (3-0) AT MICHIGAN (1-2) Nittany Lion quarterback Anthony Morelli is a precision passer and will show whether the Wolverines' defense has truly improved in the last two weeks. NO. 13 OREGON (3-0) AT STANFORD (1-1) New Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh grabbed his first victory against San Jose State last week. Now can he pull off an upset at Stanford Stadium? ARMY (1-2) AT NO. 14 BOSTON COLLEGE (3-0) NO. 15 CLEMSON (3-0) AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE (1-2) The Tigers were supposed to be a run-first team this year, but quarterback Cullen Harper has digested the offense so well that they are more dangerous through the air. NORTH CAROLINA (1-2) AT NO. 23, SOUTH FLORIDA (2-0) The Bulls are ranked for the first time in school history and want to shut down the Tarheels pass-first offense with outstanding cornerbacks Trae Williams and Mike Jenkins.

ADVANTAGE » Roy Williams, Detroit wide receiver: Williams had a good game last weekend against a tough Vikings defense. He had seven catches, 111 yards and one touchdown. The Eagles defense has looked humble so far this season, and Jon Kitna should find Williams open on many occasions on Sunday. Eagles safety Brian Dawkins has a neck injury. If he doesn't play on Sunday, Williams will have no problem getting open deep in the Eagles secondary. 7 BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM San Diego's LaDanian Tomlinson was held to 43 yards on 18 carries Sunday against the Patriots, but the Packers should pose little threat to the Chargers' running back. ASSOCIATED PRESS >> LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego running back: Tomlinson was held to 43 yards on 18 carries last Sunday against the Patriots. He will be running with a purpose this Sunday because he knows no team should be able to shut him down. Tomlinson doesn't need any motivation to have a big game, but running angry against a modest Packers defense should lead to a big day for the Chargers running back. » Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle quarterback: Derek Anderson threw for 328 yards and five touchdowns against the Bengals secondary. It's safe to say that Hasselbeck is a better quarterback than Anderson, so he should have a good game against the Bengals on Sunday. Last week Hasselbeck threw for 281 yards and one touchdown against an improved Cardinals secondary. Just think about what he'll do to the Bengals. >> Minnesota defense: Sorry, Chiefs fans, but it could be a long season. Minnesota has a very good defense. The Chiefs offense has looked — insert your own degrading word here — so far this year. Yes, it will be the Chiefs' first game at home, but the Vikings kept a better Falcons offense to three points and gave up 20 points to the Lions. The Chiefs' woes will continue on Sunday. DISADVANTAGES 》 J.P. Losman, Buffalo quarterback: Losman only threw for 154 yards against the Pittsburgh defense. This week he takes on the Patriot defense, which has looked like the best in the league. The Patriots pressure the quarterback, get interceptions and stop the run just as well. All of these factors add up to a long day for Losman on Sunday. Terrell Owens, Dallas wide receiver: Owens faces one of the toughest defenses in the league on Sunday. The Bears' stingy defense will keep the Cowboys wide receiver in check. The Bears have not let a quarterback throw for more than 200 yards yet this season and they will cause problems for Tony Romo. This could lead to fewer balls thrown in Owens' direction. Larry Johnson, Chiefs running back: The Vikings run defense has looked stellar so far this year. Detroit's leading rusher, Brian Calhoun, had 22 yards rushing last Sunday against the Vikings and Warrick Dunn only had 55 rushing yards against the Vikings on the opening weekend. All of this spells trouble for Larry Johnson, who has already struggled so far this season. Tampa Bay defense: St. Louis is 0-2 right now, but its offense has looked sharp in both games so far. Marc Bulger threw for 368 yards against an improved San Francisco defense last week. Tampa Bay already gave up 20 points to a weaker Seattle offense in their opening game of the season. The Rams offense will roll on Sunday. It's just a Projected stats ADVANTAGES Roy Williams 10 catches 126 yards 1 touchdown LaDainian Tomlinson 30 carries 131 yards 2 touchdowns 5 catches 42 yards 1 touchdown Matt Hasselbeck 28/39 334 yards 3 touchdowns DISADVANTAGES Terrell Owens 3 catches 30 yards J.P.

Edited by Rachael Gray MLB Royals top White Sox 3-0; Grienke strikes out 10 Zack Greinke may have ended the debate about whether he should be a starter or reliever. Greinke struck out a careerhigh 10 and pitched two-hit ball for eight innings, leading the Royals against the White Sox 3-0 Thursday. Greinke (7-6) made his sixth start since rejoining the rotation on Aug. 24 and allowed just one runner past first base. He began the season as a starter, but after getting hit hard May 6 in a loss at Detroit, he was shifted to the bullpen with a 1-4 record. "I feel like I'm a starter, but other people make that decision," Greinke said. "The main thing was to get my pitch count down and go deep into the game." He became the first Kansas City pitcher to reach double digits in strikeouts since Odalis Perez had 10 at Boston on Sept. 8, 2006. "That is something I wouldn't have been able to do in the past," Greinke said. "Since I've moved to the bullpen, I've been striking out guys better. Ten is a real lot. I never would have imagined that when the season started, me striking out 10 in a game cause I just couldn't miss that many bats." Kansas City broke a 21-inning scoreless streak with a two-run sixth. doubles — the latter on an 0-2 pitch after Pena twice failed to get down a bunt. David DeJesus grounded out, and Esteban German hit a sacrifice飞。 "It's been a while," Buck said of snapping an 0-for-12 rut with two hits. "It's nice to see one of those hit the outfield grass." Buck and Tony Pena Jr. hit Jerry Owens doubled for Chicago leading off the fourth and Juan Uribe sacrificed, but Jim Thome and Paul Konerko struck out. "In the bullpen, I've been pitching in tough situations like that," Greinke said. "I kind of figured on how to get out of jams like that, where in the past I might try to do too much. Thome can really hurt you, but he strikes out a lot, too."

STUDENTS FREE WITH KU ID Earn Rock Chalk Rewards Points! Through the first three weeks of the season, the Big 12 has four teams in the nation's top 11 in total points per game. Oklahoma leads the way, averaging 61.3, while Kansas, Texas Tech and Texas A&M follow: 53.0, 51.0, 46.3 respectively. For a conference that has been knocked on as being "in superior," the points these teams are scoring go in direct correlation with their quarterback play. Much like the lack of respect the conference gets, the three quarterbacks in the Big 12 who rank among that makes the Heisman, then why doesn't Oklahoma's freshman quarterback Sam Bradford get some love? Bradford currently ranks third in the nation in quarterback rating and led his team to a more-than-impressive win against Miami (Fla.) 51-13, in which he was 19-25 with 5 touchdowns. Although the critics like to dwell on past successful teams like Colorado, Kansas State and Oklahoma State being down, it is the teams that are fueled by these new high-octane offenses that are being All The Right Stuff For Now and Later.

Although ESPN's Lee Corso and Kirk Herbsteit will try to persuade you that the conference is down, it is the rise and decadence of programs that is creating the new-look Big 12. In the past, the Big 12 has been known to produce elite running backs in systems that benefited from run-base attack offenses. But this past year teams in the Big 12 have scored more points, and the quarterbacks have been responsible. cast aside. Kansas is putting up more points than it ever has in the Mangino era, and it is no surprise that Todd Reesinger has become the 10th-best passer in the nation according to efficiency. Although analysts like to try to knock on the Jayhawks' strength of schedule and use that to take away from their recent success, the fact still remains that the team has improved and is proving to be a force. From the school in Lawrence to its eastern brethren in Columbia, the known key ingredient to the Tigers' success is quarterback Chase Daniel. Daniel ranks 28th nationally in passer efficiency and, similar to the Jayhawks, the Tigers are off to a 3-0 start. FOOTBALL Quarterbacks get credit for Big 12 success BY TYLER PASSMORE tpassmore@kansan.com Although his numbers and voters continue to climb with every victory, it is the gunslinger from Lubbock, Texas, who is being overshadowed. Starting quarterback for Texas Tech, Graham Harrell, has thrown for more yards and touchdowns than Brennan, yet his name is merely whispered to the voters. the top 15 in the nation in pass efficiency tend to not get the respect they deserve.

The Kansas team will face players from nine other schools, including Penn State, Virginia Tech, Princeton and Yale all of Hall-Holt POLYTECHNIC which were nationally ranked at the end of the 2007 spring season. Coach Hall-Holt, who enters her fourth season as the Kansas tennis coach, hopes that the team uses this first tournament as a way to build off last season. "I am telling the girls to get out there and give everything they can. I want them to play with the same energy that they have been playing with in practice the past two weeks," Hall-Holt said. This year's roster is loaded with returning talent. Elizaveta Avdeeva and Edina Horvath were recently ranked No. 36 as doubles partners in a preseason FILA/ITA poll. Avdeeva also received a ranking of 117 in singles. Kunigunda Dorn and Yuliana Svistum, who both put up strong performances last season, also will compete this weekend. They will be joined by freshmen Maria Martinez and Mymee Tokuda. Hall-Holt said the teams overall experience gives the players a competitive edge going into this weekend. "The girls know that they can compete with anyone that's out there on the court. They know they have the ability. I want them to challenge each other to play their best," Hall-Holt said. Hall-Holt said that the tournament this weekend would give her players a chance to bounce back from a tough season last year in which the team was plagued with injuries. Hall-Holt said her players were working to improve their games on a day-to-day basis. She said that the fall season would give the players a chance to fine-tune their game for the spring season. "The fall tournaments will show our players what competition is out there. They know that from match to match the level of play is going to increase," Hall-Holt said. The fall slate of tournaments affect only the individual players' rankings. Performances are not figured into any overall team score. Hall-Holt believes that this does not diminish the importance of the team aspect. "We still have to represent as a team. We are out there fighting for KU, the name, the tradition. It's an individual sport with a team atmosphere, and we need to support each other," Hall-Holt said.

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Despite his eagerness to discuss issues off of the football field, Stuckey said he saw himself as a leader by example on the football field. Stuckey's goal is to achieve the title of team captain by the time he leaves the University — a goal he said he could achieve by showing a willingness to sacrifice himself for the team. In addition to his leadership qualities, Stuckey is piling up quite the tangible track record so far in 2007. Through three games he has made 13 tackles, has made an interception and has broken up a pass. SOFTBALL Edited by Rachael Gray Jayhawks open against Butler CC on Saturday The Jayhawks play Butler Community College at 2 p.m. and play Missouri Southern at 4 p.m. The KU softball team kicks off its season on Saturday. "The whole weekend basically is to figure out kind of where we are," coach Tracy Bunge said. "What we can do well. How our freshmen react in game situations. Kind of figure out at this point in time what are our weaknesses, and what we really have to concentrate on the last couple weeks of practice that we have throughout the fall." On Sunday the softball team will play Missouri Western at 10 a.m. KING (CONTINUED FROM 1B) facing triple teams, the Jayhawks made it to the national championship game against undefeated North Carolina. King had to guard Lennie Rosenblut, the Tar Heels star player. North Carolina took an early lead, but Kansas jumped ahead in the second half. The Tar Heels tied the game late to send it to overtime. The teams scored a combined two points in the first two extra periods. Finally, after a third overtime, North Carolina defeated Kansas 54-53. Chamberlain was named the tournament's most outstanding player, but Loneski said King had an important role too. MORETHAN BASKETBALL "His leadership is what took us to the Final Four," Loneski said. "He was just a team guy." "It was just an honor for him to play with Bill Russell," Kimberly said. "He had fun just knowing him. He was just Bill to him." The Boston Celtics made King their sixth round draft pick after his college career ended in 1957. King got the opportunity to play with another basketball legend: Bill Russell. He often told his daughter, Kimberly, about the experience. After an NBA title in 1960 with Boston, the Celtics traded him to the Chicago Zephyr. He played with them for one year before moving back home to play for the ABLs Kansas City Steers. King gave up basketball after one season with the Steers. He retired and took a job for Hallmark in 1966. Family became an important focus. King settled down with his wife Jelena and two kids, Kimberly and Maurice III. The Hallmark job wasn't enough for King. He was attracted to helping the youth in his community. He worked as a substitute teacher and wore suits to class "to show young kids how they should respect themselves," Kimberly said. King provided an example for them just as he did for black athletes. "In his situation growing up," Kimberly said, "he didn't always make the right choices. He wanted to share his story of where he had come from to going to college to getting a degree to getting a good job. He let them know you can make good choices and bad choices, but you can't let the bad ones stop you." After his retirement from Hallmark in 1991, King started to serve the community even more. He worked with kids at the Spofford Home, which serves Kansas City children with emotional problems. King volunteered more at Fortress of Hope Church. His presence was always felt at the church. He sang in the men's choir and served as a trustee. Perhaps most importantly, Lindsay said, King acted as a mentor. He often brought seniors and teenagers together to discuss life. A ROLE MODEL FOREVER "He drew himself close to others by making himself available," Lindsay said. "He had a great way of making himself available to the people he loved and the people he was concerned about." Senior guard Jeremy Case knows how lucky today's players are. All eight blacks on this season's basketball team will fly on chartered jets. They'll eat meals Emeril Lagasse would approve. They'll live a life King could only have dreamed of in the 1950s. "We have it great compared to him," Case said. "I couldn't imagine Max Falkenstein said King shared more than an hour of memories. "Maurice was a very fine player and very humble person," Falkenstein said. "He and Wilt were at the forefront for the integration of black athletes." Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the documentary was scheduled to be released later this fall. a glimpse of king About a month ago, Maurice King was in Lawrence to help the Athletics Department with a documentary of KU basketball featuring several player players and coaches.

I'm thankful for what he did for us." King gave lots of people reason to thank him. He was a loving father and husband. He was a basketball player and Hallmark employee. He was a leader for equal rights and a mentor to kids. But Lindsay has another title for describing King: role model. "Out of all my travels," Lindsay said, "I would go as far as to say he was one of the best and finest role models the country had to offer. He just had an amazing way of making sense out of madness."

The women play Texas Tech at 1 p.m. at Stern in Lawrence BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com After a breakthrough victory at Missouri on Wednesday, the Kansas volleyball team returns home to play Texas Tech at 1 p.m. Saturday, Kansas, 7-5 and 1-2 in the Big 12, will attempt to win its second consecutive conference match. On the other side of the net will be a Texas Tech squad that is 7-5 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12. Kansas lost both matches to Texas Tech last season, falling 3-2 at home and 3-1 in Lubbock, Texas. Texas Tech lost its last match to Texas A&M, 3-2, in College Station, Texas. KANSAS OFFENSE Kansas is last in the Big 12 conference with a .180 hitting percentage. Coach Ray Bechard said he wanted his team's hitting percentage to be in the .220 to .240 range. Texas Tech might be the ideal opponent for Kansas to get its offense in gear. The Red Raiders are dead-last in the Big 12 in defense. They allow opponents to hit .220 against them. Freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser still leads Kansas with 2.52 kills per game, but sophomore Brittany Williams has been the jayhawk's most efficient offensive player. Williams leads the regulars with a .265 hitting percentage, and the second year player notched a team-high 15 kills Kaiser against Missouri on Wednesday. Kansas is employing a new two-setter offensive system this season, so senior Emily Brown and sophomore Katie Martincich have been sharing the workload at that position. Brown leads Kansas with 6.71 assists per game, while Martincich, the team's assistant last year, has contributed 4.45 assists per game. KANSAS DEFENSE Freshman libero Melissa Manda has put together a solid rookie effort thus far. Manda leads the Jayhawks with 3.78 digs per game, while Martincich has been active on defense as well, tallying 2.57 digs per game. Edited by Jeff Briscoe COLLEGE FOOTBALL Hard seasons may be vital for small schools' funding BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com When Florida International leaves Memorial Stadium on Saturday night, it will reach the end of the college football equivalent of a death march. The Panthers played at Penn State in week one, took on Maryland in the Orange Bowl in week two and played Miami in the same venue last week — and lost by a combined 79 points to those three teams. They will travel to Fayetteville in late October to play Arkansas. In the Sun Belt Conference, such brutal nonconference slates can be necessary to subsidize football programs. Schools from BCS conferences call looking to schedule easy home victories against this Division 1-A conference. Most don't want to make a return trip. The demand of BCS schools looking to book Sun Belt teams has at times created a bidding process that has guaranteed payouts regularly reaching $750,000. "That conference will play games for a guarantee," KU Senior Associate Addis Larry Keating said. "The other non-BCS leagues are less inclined to play for a guarantee. They do that because as a group their budgets are typically Garcia not as healthy as a lot of the other 1-A schools" Garcia This can make Pete Garcia, Florida International's athletics director, a very popular man. "I have had so many schools call that wanted to play us," Garcia said. this will include six home games a season. Garcia is aided by a new oncampus stadium set to open for next football season. Garcia, however, said he took tne FIU post one year ago with the caveat that he could construct the schedule to his liking. Eventually, The Sun Belt passed a rule in May to prevent teams from filling their nonconference schedule with BCS road games. The legislation states that schools must play a minimum of 11 home games during a two-year period. This will decrease guar- anteed games and increase home-and-home and two-for-one contracts, which uncommon for Sun Belt teams to play four home games in a season. "There's a big demand on the group of schools that are willing to play away...So what does that do? It drives the price up." Garcia said he wouldn't have difficulty coaxing large schools to come to Miami because it's in the middle of one of the country's most fertile recruiting grounds. He is locked LARRY KEATING Senior Associate Athletics Director will get larger schools into Sun Belt venues. But it also will decrease the available games for those schools to accept guarantees from BCS schools. This has ratcheted up the bidding war for the available games, with guarantees now inching closer to $1 million every year. "There's a big demand on the group of schools that are willing to play away," Keating said. "There is a lot of opportunity and not many teams that will do it. So what does that do? It drives the price up." The University of Kansas has been able to secure Sun Belt teams at relative bargain prices the last few years. Louisiana-Monroe accepted $500,000 plus expenses to play in Lawrence last year. Florida International's original contract called for $400,000 to do the same. It is now common to see Sun Belt teams play five home and seven away games each season. Before Aug. 1, 2004, when the NCAA began enforcing legislation that required each Division I-A school to play five home games a year, it was not into some of the past administration's schedules, however, including this year's brutal slate and future dates at Kansas, Iowa, Alabama, South Florida, Florida and Maryland in coming years. "When I took this over it wasn't going to be an option for us to have one road game and get a big paycheck anymore," Garcia said. "We are going to get home and homes. We won't do two-for-ones, and I am not interested in guaranteed games." John McElwain, Sun Belt director of media relations, said an increase in home games would naturally lead to occasional upsets of BCS programs that increase media attention. In the past three years, Troy has upset a ranked Missouri team and Oklahoma State in home games on national TV. "You can go on the road and make a substantial amount of money doing it." McElwain said. "The money is obviously very important, but selling tickets at home is also a way that can balance the budget." With the Sun Belt's eight teams having at most two open spots on the schedule to fulfill such requests and some refusing to even consider it, BCS teams will continue a bidding war to secure dates.

The forgiving schedule has drawn some snickers from the national media,but the team has been as dominant as any in the nation so far this season. BY THE NUMBERS (2007 stats — national ranking) 53. 0ppg 4th scoring offense COUNTDOWN TO KICK-OFF 227. 7 ypg—23rd rushing offense 304.3 ypg - 7th passing offense 6.7 ppg - 4th scoring defense 85.7 ypg - 24th rushing defense 121. 0ppg—10th passing defense PLAYERTOWATCH Senior running back Brandon McAnderson. Florida International's defense is undersized compared to Kansas' offense. This fact should play to the strength and the sheer size of Brandon McAnderson. McAnderson outweighs all but three of the Golden Panther defenders, and should not have much trouble running over any who find themselves in his path. A. H. McAnderson Though sophomore Jake Sharp served as the Jayhawks' primary option last week, McAnderson has gained 222 rushing yards and averaged almost six yards per carry this season. QUESTION MARKS Will Todd Reesing ever throw an interception? The sophomore is the only starting quarterback in the Big 12 who has not thrown an interception this season. What the Florida international defenders lack in size, they make up for in quickness. Cornerback Lionell Singleton is the most likely candidate to pick a pass off. Will attendance figures continue to inflate? A surprisingly large crowd of more than 48,000 was announced last week at Memorial Stadium. Will fans turn out en masse to show support for the 3-0 Jayhawks or avoid a game that could be a blowout?

FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 6 p.m. Saturday, Memorial Stadium Kansas 3-0 OFFENSE The Kansas offense looked a little less than bulletproof for the first time last week, but the unit still appeared virtually indestructible. Kansas gained 373 yards in the first half alone but blew several scoring chances by dropping passes and fumbling the ball away. Each member of the Kansas "big three" – quarterback Todd Reesing, wide receiver Marcus Henry and running back Jake Sharp – set personal bests in yardage last week. Reesing threw for 313, Henry gained 133 through the air and Sharp ran for 127. ★★★★☆ DEFENSE Whenever the Kansas offense has taken its foot off of the pedal this season, the defense has been waiting nearby to get the team back into gear. The defense allowed seven points against Central Michigan, held Southeastern Louisiana scoreless and kept Toledo's passing game in check, allowing only 77 aerial yards. Junior linebacker Joe Mortensen is among the Big 12 Conference leaders in tackles for loss, senior defensive tackle James McClinton has played like a force of nature at the line of scrimmage and the secondary has not been beat deep so far. ★★★★★ SPECIAL TEAMS The Jayhawk special teamers were far from perfect last weekend against Toledo. Sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton turned the ball over by misplaying a punt, senior kicker Scott Webb snapped his streak of eight consecutive made field goals and senior punter Kyle Tucker averaged just less than 39 yards per punt. Even so, the kickoff and punt coverage teams played very well, holding Toledo to less than four yards per punt return and 20 yards per kick return. ★★★★☆ ★ MOMENTUM Kansas possesses quite a bit momentum, having steamrolled three of its opponents this year. The way 2007 has gone for Kansas, last week's 45-13 victory seemed like a close game. The Jayhawks have outscored their opponents 149 points to 20 and outgained the competition 1596 yards to 620. But questions remain: can any of Kansas' first three opponents be considered reputable football teams? How will Kansas stack up against major-conference competition? Fans will have to wait a few more weeks for the answers, but as of now the Jayhawks are rolling. Florida International 0-3 ★★★★☆ bit of olled all KANSAS 32 COACHING ★ ★ ★ ★ OFFENSE Coach Mark Mangino's ambitious fourth-down strategy did not work very well against Toledo as the Jayhawks failed to convert on two of their three chances. But it didn't matter much considering how well the coaching staff performed in every other area of the game. Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner has turned the Kansas offense on its head - in a good way - and defensive coordinator Bill Young's defense is ranked fourth in the nation in points allowed per game. ★★★★ The Golden Panthers' offense is in the national cellar in almost every statistic. Part of the blame for the offense's inefficiency must fall on red shirt freshman quarterback Wayne Younger, who is only completing 42 percent of his passes. But the offense was also expected to struggle somewhat because the new coaching staff introduced a new offense before the season. Younger has actually been a better rusher than passer through his first three games. He joins junior running back A'Mod Ned and Julian Reams to give Florida International a few threats on the ground. The Golden Panthers are creative in getting different running back combinations on the field. The offensive line is also trying to adjust to new zone blocking schemes, a wrinkle of the new offense. DEFENSE Florida International's best player is senior Lionell Singleton, who resides in the defensive backfield. Singleton's partner in crime is junior Robert Mitchell, another solid player in defending against the pass. The front seven got off to a slow start but played better last weekend against Miami. The Golden Panthers did allow five yards-per-carry against the talented Hurricane backfield but limited big plays, which will be important Saturday when Jayhawk running back Jake Sharp is in the game. Outside linebackers Mike Dominguez and Scott Bryant make the majority of the tackles in the rushing game. The FIU defense doesn't blitz excessively but the line is athletic enough to hurry the quarterback. ★★★☆☆ SPECIAL TEAMS Singleton doesn't only make an impact on defense, he's also the Golden Panther's kick and punt returner. Last year, the senior averaged nearly 29 yards on kick returns and 10 yards per punt return. Expect the Jayhawks to follow the lead of the Florida International's first three opponents and kick away from Singleton when possible. Punter Chris Cook can't seem to kick the ball further than 35 yards, which isn't satisfactory. Freshman Chris Abed won the kicking job and has been solid so far. ★★★☆☆ MOMENTUM Coach Mario Cristobal's enthusiasm rubs off on his team. After losing 59-0 to Penn State in week one, Florida International cut their deficits to 16 and 14, respectively in the ensuing games. While the team can't be ecstatic to travel to Lawrence and take on its fourth BCS conference team in four weeks, it can be positive. Cristobal said he expects his team to get better every week as it gets used to his new coaching methods. ★★★★★ COACHING Coaching: The consensus is that Cristobal is the guy for the job at Florida International. He is a lifelong resident of Miami, where the school is located and most its players call home. He also enjoyed the profound success at the University of Miami in the early 2000s as an assistant and helped lay the foundation for Rutgers historic turnout working under Greg Schiano. He stole Phillip Galiano away from the Scarlet Knights and made him the FIU defensive coordinator and hired up-and-coming James Coley as an offensive coordinator. The coaching staff has garnered much praise after a solid recruiting class but needs to show it will translate to the field. Knight Brandon McAnderson ★★★ ★★ FIU KICKOFF ATAGLANCE Florida International comes to Lawrence holding the nation's longest losing streak at 14 games. But they also enter with the satisfaction of having shown steady improvement throughout the season. The Golden Panthers won't be intimidated by the Jayhawks because they already played tough teams Penn State and Miami (FL) this season. BY THE NUMBERS (2007 stats — national ranking) Case Keefer 2007 stats — national ranking 6.33 ppg — 117th scoring offense 36. 0 ypg - 102nd scoring defense 79. 33 ypg—105th rushing offense 191. 67 ppg - 90th rushing defense 101. 0 ypg - 118th passing offense 224. 0ppg-64th PLAYER TO WATCH passing defense Senior cornerback Lionell Singleton. Florida International is a team full of weaknesses but 1 Singleton Singleton makes the cornerback position an undeniable strength. At only five-footen, Singleton may have match-up problems with Marcus Henry, Kansas'top receiver. But look for Singleton to jam Henry at the line and use acrobatic moves to keep the ball out of Kansas receiver's hands. Asher Fusco QUESTION MARKS Running Backs: Wayne Younger hasn't been able to throw the ball and that may continue against a strong Kansas secondary. So which of the Golden Panther's four rushers that have logged at least 10 carries will they turn to? Fatigue: Kansas has more depth, speed, size and talent than Florida International.

Because of FIU's eagerness to play the in-city rival Miami Hurricanes, the Golden Panthers were forced to opt out of a scheduled 2006 game against KU. Keating instead negotiated two games, in 2007 and 2008, at bargain prices to the University. The contest, as much a business transaction as a football game, took place only because of a shrewd decision by KU Senior Associate Athletics Director Larry Keating, who arranges the football schedule. Kansas scheduled Louisiana-Monroe last year to fill that spot in its schedule. The FIU-Miami game would go down in infamy. Played on Oct. 14 of last year, a frenzied brawl erupted in the third quarter. The melee included both benches emptying, several fist fights, and objects such as helmets and crutches being used as weapons. In total, 13 players were ejected — eight from FIU and five from Miami.

That's the decision University officials plan to make in the next few weeks. The 10-year, $14.5 million contract the University held with the Coca-Cola Co. expired in July, leaving room open for contract negotiations and new bidders. While Coca-Cola looks to resign with the University, PepsiCo Inc. has stepped in with a proposal. A committee of University officials has been talking with both companies and plans to make a decision soon. THE PREVIOUS CONTRACT The University's contract with the Coca-Cola Company, signed 10 years ago, brought in immediate money and the promise of continued money for programming and scholarships. Theresa Gordzica, the University's ener planning and business officer, said this included $7 million up front, $453,000 per year in sponsorships and $300,000 per year to fund marketing — a total payout of about $14.5 million over ten years. Gordzica, who is on the committee that will ultimately decide on a contract, said that the sponsorship money provided by Coca-Cola was used to fund scholarships and campus activities, and to provide beverages to student groups. She said this funding would be part of any new contract. "Those will be the first things we consider", Gordzica said. Gordzica said she was not at liberty to discuss the amount of money that a new contract with Pepsi or Coke would bring. She said the specifics of the contract would be released when a formal agreement was made. Coca-Cola classic 70. FL. OZ.

ODD NEWS Town hops on bunny battle about breeding habits POWELL Wyo. — A proposed city ordinance limiting the number of rabbits per household has some City Council members in this northern Wyoming community hopping. Drum roll, please The council gave initial approval last week to an ordinance that limits rabbits to three breeding pairs a household. "I know that rabbits are very big in Powell, and it's about time we got something like this on the books," Mayor Scott Mangold said. Councilman Tim Sapp doesn't agree. "I've talked with a number of my constituents, and a lot of them aren't 100 percent sure they're for letting rabbits in Powell." Sapp said. The bunny battle started with a complaint by a resident aptly named David Haire. He is convinced that rabbits raised by his neighbor's 10-year-old daughter made him sick. "I got the little girl crowd against me," Haire said after raising the issue with the City Council. Even the proposed limit wasn't arrived at easily during initial debate by the council. Councilman Jim Hillberry questioned whether allowing six rabbits would open the gate for another pet problem. An existing ordinance limits cats and dogs to just two adult animals per household. "Are we going to allow six adult dogs at a residence?" Hillberry asked City Attorney Sandee Kitchen, who wrote the ordinance. "That is up to you,"Kitchen replied. At one point, Police Chief Tim Feathers hopped to his feet, warning that rabbits are among the reproductive wonders of the world "If you have six," he said, "you're going to have a period of time where it won't be long and you'll have 60 rabbits." The ordinance still needs final approval from the council. Raging bull charges neighbor's house, car Wayne Johnson said he found the bull in his yard Friday morning. It had wandered in from a nearby farm. KILLINGLY, Conn. — An escaped and raging bull attacked a neighbor's home, tearing off siding, ripping down part of a fence and damaging a car. While he watched, the bull repeatedly charged his house, tore off clapboards, flipped a picnic table, rammed his car and tore down part of the fence around his swimming pool. he said. "He was crazy," Johnson said. "The thing was ripping my house apart." Johnson called police, who called the state Department of Agriculture. They suggested finding the farmer who owns the animal. Eventually, a neighbor was able to lure the bull away with a bag of grain, and led the animal back to its pasture. Johnson said he's planning to talk to the bull's owner about getting his house repaired. He said he has no idea what caused the bull to become so aggressive. "My house isn't red," he joked. "It's grayish blue."

IRWIN, Pa. — Melissa Hensler got a "Most Unusual Pet" prize from her township two years ago for her pet rooster — but now the same township says the bird is a farm animal in a residential area and it's "It wouldn't be the same without him here," she said. Town bans prize-winning rooster from city limits The parents of the 13-year-old girl say they may file a lawsuit against the zoning decision by North Huntingdon Township officials. Melissa has raised the rooster, named Sundae, and eight other chickens for six years. But in July, say parents Barb and Don Hensler, a neighbor complained that they were raising chickens, and the township's attitude changed The prize that Sundae won two years ago "is no substitute for township law," code enforcement officer David Stitt said. "Chickens are farm animals. You can call them pets if you like, but they are still fowl." Stitt said. A township board rejected the Henslers' request for a zoning exception, leading to their consideration of court action. Hensler said chickens typically live eight to 10 years. "If I had to get rid of them, it would be like losing part of me." Melissa said. "I would be losing my children."

Florida International agree to make two trips to Lawrence for $500,000, and Saturday was its first. BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com "Unfortunately The University of Kansas' 55-3 blowout victory Saturday night against Florida International almost never happened. The contest, as much a business transaction as a football game, took place only because of a shrewd decision by the University senior associate athletics director Larry Keating. FIU was scheduled to travel to Lawrence last season, a game that would have paid a guarantee of $400,000. Two years ago the University of Miami contacted FIU, also located in Miami, about scheduling a 2006 contest. FIU's schedule was booked, but they were determined to play their bigger, in-city rival. FIU called Keating, who arranges the football schedule, with news that it would accept Miami's request. The NCAA penalty for defaulting on a contest at the time was $400,000, and the Golden Panthers were willing to write the University a check for the full amount. Keating instead informed FIU that he needed games, not money. Keating offered to pay FIU $250,000 for each of two games, one in 2007 and one in 2008, in return for the canceling the game. The going rate for a one-game FBS, formally known as Division 1-A, guarantee is generally $500,000 or more, and rising. FIU accepted. FIU's sports administration turned over last year, with Pete Garcia named the new athletics director in October of 2006. bargain-basement Ironically, Garcia is the reason the Golden Panthers eventually "The new AD at Florida International (Garcia) called," Keating said, "and say, 'Why are we doing this?' I said, 'Hey, you guys agreed to it. That was the deal.' I dare say he probably isn't happy about it." agreed to the price with the Jayhawks. Before taking the athletics director job at FIU, Garcia served one year as the senior associate athletic director at the University of Miami. One of his jobs was constructing "The new AD at Florida International called and said, 'Why are we doing this?' I said, 'Hey, you guys agreed to it.'" LARRY KEATING Senior associate athletics director the Hurricanes' non-conference football schedule. And one of his last acts in that capacity was calling FIU with a proposal of playing two games in the Orange Bowl. FIU accepted and quickly canceled its deal with the University to open a date on its 2006 schedule. schools in your own state, that is huge," Garcia said. Garcia said FJU was eager to schedule the Hurricanes. Keating filled the hole with Louisiana-Monroe, which he paid $500,000 plus expenses to play in Memorial Stadium last September, a 21-19 KU win. The FIU-Miami game would go down in infamy. Played on Oct. 14 of last year, a frenzied brawl erupted in the third quarter. The melee included both benches emptying, several fist fights, and objects such as helmets and crutches being used as weapons. In total, 13 players were ejected — eight from FIU and five from Miami. Garcia, who was in his first week as athletics director at FIU, issued an apology on behalf of the university shortly after the game. After speculation about canceling the series, the teams decided to continue playing in the future. They played on Sept. 15, a 23-9 Hurricane victory, without incident.

Edited by Darla Slipke 》RELIGION BY RACHEL ZOLL ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — As Episcopal leaders consider barring more gays from becoming bishops to prevent an Anglican schism, the world Anglican family is already dying by a thousand cuts. Theological conflict over the 2003 consecration of the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, is draining the Anglican Communion of its global influence. Episcopal and Anglican conservatives who have been trying to maneuver collectively have instead been scattering in different directions, adding to a sense of chaos. And while the number of Episcopal parishes that have broken with the national church is relatively small, observers say there's another threat that's harder to measure: that some parishioners upset by how leaders have handled the crisis are falling away from the church. The 77-million-member Anglican Communion is a fellowship of churches that trace their roots to the Church of England. It is the third-largest Christian body in the world, behind the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches, and is represented in the U.S. by the Episcopal Church. "It's turning people off," said David Hein, a religion professor at Hood College in Maryland who specializes in Episcopal and Anglican history. "They never endorsed gay marriage. They never said ordaining gay bishops was all right. They just did this as an ad hoc thing." After four years of emergency summits and failed talks over Robinson's consecration, Episcopal bishops are meeting here under enormous pressure to roll back their support for gays. Anglican leaders, called primate have set a Sept. 30 deadline for the Americans to pledge unequivocally not to consecrate another gay bishop or approve an official prayer service for same-gender couples. Episcopal bishops have dedicated their meeting here to crafting a response. Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the Anglican spiritual leader, has tried to play down the significance of the date, saying "there is no ultimatum involved." However, he took the unusual step of attending the meeting on its first two days, warning Episcopal leaders behind closed doors that they must make concessions to keep the communion together. No one expects the Americans to completely reverse course. Many Episcopal leaders believe biblical teachings on justice and acceptance are paramount. They celebrated Robinson's election. That means that the damage done to the communion by all sides in the conflict likely won't be repaired anytime soon. The strain on Anglican relations with other Christians was clear at an ecumenical service in the Morial Convention Center here Thursday night with the archbishop of Canterbury and Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jeffers Schiori. Catholic Archbishop Alfred Hughes of New Orleans didn't attend. A spokeswoman for Hughes said he had a scheduling conflict and that Baton Rouge Catholic Bishop Robert Muench was participating in his place. But Muench sat in the audience so far back from the stage that few people knew he was there until an Episcopal leader asked him to stair up and wave. Anglicans and Catholics have been in negotiations for years to rebuild ties between their churches. Those talks have been complicated by Robinson's election and by the ordination of women in Anglican provinces.

Mucci said those companies contracts stated that they would not have control of the drinks at the food courts, so a new beverage contract would not cause a change in the food sold. THE BENEFITS OF EXCLUSIVITY Some universities share contracts between multiple food companies. Though Mucci said "anything's possible", he said a shared agreement would be unlikely at the University. Universities typically receive less return, or money, when a contract does not give full exclusivity to a particular company, Mucci said. "The more exclusive it is, the more fulfilling to fund programs and scholarships," Mucci said. Kansas State has an exclusive contract with Pepsi. Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior and student body vice president, said he has spoken with Lydia Peele, student body vice president at Kansas State, about the contract. Wittlinger said Peele told him that K-State's relationship with Pepsi was strong. Wittlinger sits on the KU-Coca-Cola University Program Support subcommittee and the KU-Coca-Cola Partnership Council as part of his duties as vice president. Neither of these committees is involved in deciding which company to sign, but they monitor business trends within the University's relationship and decide how to spend the money the University receives from Coca-Cola. However, he said the committees had discussed the contract negotiations. "Anytime you have a contract as large as the one with Coke, you want that to benefit students," Wittlinger said. "It translates into more than just a business relationship." STUDENTS' PREFERENCES Although students may not be aware of the benefits of a beverage sponsorship, taste preference seems to be the priority for deciding which company the University should sign with. "I like Pepsi a lot better," Adam Medaris, Olathe senior, said. "I hate having to walk all the way to the bookstore to get a Pepsi." Andy Haverkamp. Hoyt freshman and student senator, said he did not see why the University had to pick between the two companies. Wittlinger said University students would adapt no matter what happened. "I think it's sad that an entire company has to buy out our entire campus and all of our students," Haverkamp said. "The issue is who will help students, but for some students it's just what do they like to drink," Wittlinger said. "The students will adjust either way." -Edited by Matt Erickson INTERNATIONAL Parade confrontational before U.S. visit ASSOCIATED PRESS TEHRAN, Iran — A day before flying to New York to speak directly to the American people, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad struck a confrontational tone Saturday with a parade of fighter jets and missiles and tough warnings for the United States to stay out of the Mideast. Three new domestically manufactured warplanes streaked over the capital during the parade marking the 27th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of Iran, which sparked a 1980-88 war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. The parade also featured the Ghadr missile, which has a range of 1,120 miles, capable of reaching Israel. Some of the missile trucks were painted with the slogans "Down with the U.S." and "Down with Israel." The parade also featured unmanned aerial surveillance drones, torpedoes, and tanks. Tensions are high between Washington and Tehran over U.S. accusations that Iran is secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons and helping Shiite militias in Iraq that target U.S. troops. Iran denies the claims. Washington has said it is addressing the Iran situation diplomatically, rather than militarily, but U.S. officials also say that all options are open. "Those (countries) who assume that decaying methods such as psychological war, political propaganda and the so-called economic sanctions would work and prevent Iran's fast drive toward progress are mistaken," Ahmadinejad. Iran launched an arms development program during its war with Iraq after a U.S. weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own jets, torpedoes, radar-avoiding missiles and tanks. "Those who prevented Iran, at the height of the war from getting even barbed wire must see now that all the equipment on display today has been built by the mighty hands and brains of experts at Iran's armed forces," Ahmadinejad said. He is expected to do an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" airing Sunday, and make appearances at the U.N. and Columbia University His request to lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site was denied and condemned by Sept. 11 family members and politicians.

Bargaining between the UAW and GM continued early Saturday past a midnight contract deadline, a local union leader said, prepared for a possible strike. DETROIT - Negotiators for General Motors Corp. and the United Auto Workers nearly finalized the details of a new contract Sunday after 20 days of talks, according to a local union official who was being briefed on the discussions. The two sides wrapped up work on most issues and were down to determining how much money GM must put into a trust fund for retiree health care that will be managed by the UAW, said the official. The official expected a final deal to be reached as early as Sunday evening, although others said it could take longer. "My sense is they are close. I think this is the end game," said Harley Shaiken, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley who specializes in labor issues. "They may be approaching a resolution, but if that's in the next two hours or the next two days, it's hard to say. There are a lot of complex issues yet to be resolved." The health care fund — known as a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association, or VEBA — would be a groundbreaking change for the auto industry and is the major issue in this year's negotiations. GM has around $51 billion in unfunded retiree health care costs, but the company isn't required to put the full amount into the VEBA. The UAW and GM are wrangling over how much GM should put in and how much can be paid in cash or in stock. Talks resumed Sunday morning after negotiators recessed Saturday evening, GM spokesman Tom Wickham said. Sunday marked the ninth day since GM's contract with the UAW was scheduled to expire. The contract was renewed on an hour-by-hour basis since then. Several local union officials said they had heard little about the negotiations as of Sunday afternoon and hadn't been told when the UAW will tell them about the deal. Once a tentative agreement is reached, local union leaders will meet for a briefing and then will present the deal to their members. Any agreement will have to be ratified by a majority of GM's 73,000 UAW members. GM, which has about 339,000 UAW retirees and spouses, wants to pay the union to form the VEA to get the health care liabilities off its books. The UAW is seeking guarantees of new vehicles to be built in U.S. plants in exchange. "There's a tendency in negotiations for observers to focus on one or two contentious issues, but ultimately it's a package that's being voted on," he said. Shaiken said workers will want to see job security promises if they're being asked to accept a VEBA. 》BLACKWATER Maliki deems deaths unacceptable ASSOCIATED PRESS "The Iraqi government is responsible for its citizens and it cannot be accepted for a security company to carry out a killing," he told The Associated Press, speaking in his New York hotel suite ahead of his appearance at the U.N. General Assembly. Noting that Blackwater has been linked to at least seven incidents involving gunfire on Iraqi civilians, he added: "There are serious challenges to the sovereignty of Iraq." In Arabic, he used the word "tajawiz" which can be translated either as "affronts" or "challenges." However, Maliki left open the possibility that Iraq and the United States would work toward a solution to the problem of Blackwater. "We have coordinated with the American side to establish a joint committee to ascertain the facts and hold accountable" those responsible, he said. NEW YORK — Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Sunday the shooting deaths of civilians — allegedly at the hands of Blackwater USA guards — and other violence involving the company pose "serious challenges to the sovereignty of Iraq" and cannot be accepted. In the interview, Maliki defended his government and spoke up Speaking in a calm voice, al-Maliki was dismissive of some of the criticism directed at him by Washington politicians in recent months. Some members of Congress have said al-Maliki is not forceful enough in pressing for political reconciliation and achieving benchmarks meant to measure progress in the four-year U.S. intervention in Iraq. Maliki said it is normal tor any government to be criticized, but he feels certain that he has the backing in Washington he needs. for the rights of Iraqis to manage their own affairs. He said that his country is making progress toward political reconciliation and that 2008 would be a year of political and economic progress and reconstruction for Iraq. "What is important is that it did not come from the American administration or President Bush," he said of his critics. "That it comes from other areas ... for other reasons, is not a concern of mine. ... It means nothing for me," he said. The Sept. 16 killing of at least 11 civilians near a square in central Baghdad has highlighted the practices of foreign security contractors whose aggressive protection of Western diplomats and other dignitaries has long angered Iraqis. U. S.-Iraqi relations have been further strained by the U.S. detention of an Iranian Thursday in northern Iraq who was accused by the military of smuggling weapons to Shiite militias for use against American troops. Al-Maliki condemned the detention and said it was his understanding that the man had been invited to Iraq. "The government of Iraq is an elected one and sovereign. When it gives a visa, it is responsible for the visa," he said. "We consider the arrest ... of this individual who holds an Iraqi visa and a (valid) passport to be unacceptable." Iraiqi President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, demanded the Iranian's release on Saturday, saying he was a member of an official delegation that was in the autonomous Kurdish city of Sulaimaniyah with the full knowledge of the Iraiqi government and local authorities. Military spokesman Rear Adm. Mark Fox, however, said the Iranian was posing as a businessman but was actually a member of the elite Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards who was smuggled armor-piercing explosively formed penetrators known as EFPs into Iraq. Underscoring the dangers, the military said an American soldier was killed Saturday and another wounded when an EFP hit their patrol in eastern Baghdad. ...it's in Jayhawk Spirit KU your blood 2007 KU BLOOD DRIVE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 Kansas Union Ballroom 11 AM - 4:30 PM GSP Hall 2 PM - 7:00 PM TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 Kansas Union Ballroom 11 AM - 4:30 PM Oliver Hall 2 PM - 7:00 PM WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 Kansas Union/Bus 11 AM - 4:30 PM McCollum Hall 2 PM - 7:00 PM Oliver Hall 2 PM - 7:00 PM Everyone who registers to donate will receive a FREE K.U.

About 20,000 Buddhist monks and citizens demonstrated against Myanmar's military junta in the country's largest city, with many shouting support for detained democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, witnesses said. ASSOCIATED PRESS Thousands turn out in fight for democracy against military government ASSOCIATED PRESS YANGON, Myanmar — The Buddhist monks and nuns gathered at a golden hilltop pagoda and led 20,000 people in Myanmar's biggest anti-government protest in two decades. Plainclothes police trailed behind without intervening. But when a small crowd of about 400 people split off and headed for the house of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, security forces deployed in force to block them. The march raised both expectations of possible political change and fear that the military might try to crush the demonstrations with violence, as it did in 1988 when thousands of pro-democracy protesters were killed nationwide. On Saturday, more than 500 monks and sympathizers were allowed past barricades to walk to the house where Suu Kyi is detained. The Nobel Peace laureate greeted them from her gate in her first public appearance in more than four years — a meeting that symbolically linked the current protests to her struggle for democracy. But any optimism on the protesters' part was tempered when security forces thwarted the second march to Suu Kyi's house. The crowd peacefully abandoned their attempt after being turned back at two different approaches blocked by barbed wire barricades. "In our country the monks are the highest moral authority. When the monks take the leading role, the people will follow," said Soe Aung, a spokesman for the National Council of the Union of Burma, a coalition of opposition groups based in neighboring Thailand. Yet people have not forgotten the army's ferocity in crushing the 1988 pro-democracy uprising. The latest protests began on Aug. 19 as a movement against economic hardship, after the government sharply raised fuel prices, increasing the overall cost of living. Arrests and intimidation saw the movement begin to falter until last week, when monks — who have long served as the country's conscience — became the protests' vanguard. The march of 20,000 people downtown was led by 10,000 monks who gathered at the famous golden hilltop Shwedagon Pagoda before marching downtown to Sule Pagoda, witnesses said. For the first time, at least 100 white-robed nuns joined the demonstration. Some monks shouted support for Suu Kyi while people in the crowd formed a human chain to protect the maroon-robed clerics. While authorities did not intervene in Sunday's march, plainclothes police trailed the marchers. Some, armed with shotguns, were posted at street corners along the route. A monk gave a speech Sunday calling for Suu Kyi's release and national reconciliation, the witnesses said, again positioning their cause with her long-running struggle for democracy. The synergy could increase pressure on the junta to decide whether to crack down or compromise. Other monks' demonstrations took place Sunday in the cities of Mandalay, Monywa, Kalay and the Kachin state capital of Myitkyina, said reports in Myanmar exile media. take power by the military. She has been under detention continuously since May 2003. Sui Kyi, 62, is the leader of the National League for Democracy party, which won a 1990 general election but was not allowed to "The monks are the majority and they are leading the movement right now" Soe Aung told The Associated Press in Bangkok. "Hopefully the international community will not keep quiet, and they will do something before terrible things take place in our country," he said. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the Bush administration was watching the situation "very carefully." She said President Bush would discuss the military regime's "brutality" when he meets other leaders at the upcoming U.N. General Assembly. 》 GLOBAL WARMING Scientists dismiss doomsday talk BY SETH BORENSTEIN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Climate scientist Michael Mann runs down the list of bad global warming news: The world is spewing greenhouse gases at a faster rate. Summer Arctic sea ice is at record lows. The ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica are melting quicker than expected. Is he the doomsayer global warming skeptics have called him? Mann laughs. This Penn State University professor — and many other climate scientists — are sunny optimists. Hope blooms in the hottest of greenhouses. Climate scientists say mankind is on the path for soaring temperatures that will melt polar ice sheets, raise seas to dangerous levels, and trigger mass extinctions. But they say the most catastrophic of consequences can and will be avoided. They have hope. So should you, Mann said. "Sometimes we fear that we are delivering too morose a message and not conveying enough that there is reason for optimism," Mann said. Mann is not alone in laughing, even though the news he delivers could make people cry. "It's hard at times," said University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver. "You can't give up hope because what else is there in life if you give up hope? When you give up hope, that's quitting and scientists don't like to quit." That optimism is based on science and faith. The science, Mann said, is because climate researchers are sure of one thing that the public isn't. The numbers show that there is still time to avert the worst. NASA's James Hansen, who forecasts some of the bleakest outlooks on global warming, said in an e-mail: "I am always surprised when people get depressed rather than energized to do something. It's not too late to stabilize climate." "I am not about to give up, Hansen wrote. He has hope, he says, because he has grandchildren. The scientists say the public now understands how bad the problem is. So these researchers have faith that society will rally in time. Bob Corell, an American Meteorological Society climate scientist, is hopeful because even industry is pushing for change and will make money in the deal. If the world spews greenhouse gases at its current ever-rising rate, expect a 7-degree rise by the end of the century. If those gases are curbed, then warming can be kept to about 1 degree, an international panel of experts said earlier this year. Mann points to an international agreement 20 years ago this month that stopped the worsening global problem of ozone depletion. The same can be done for global warming, he said. How about Al Gore? Does he lose hope? Optimism in the face of gloomy data isn't surprising, said psychologist David Myers of Hope College in Holland, Mich. "No, because we can't afford to," said the former vice president, who has helped bring global warming to center stage. "It's a genuine planetary emergency." "Human beings are remarkably resilient," said Myers, who studies the psychology of happiness. "To do what climate researchers are doing takes enough optimism to sustain their hope and enough realism to create their concern." Stanford University climate scientist Stephen Schneider has battled cancer and it has colored his outlook. He said the key is not to get overwhelmed by the belief that something is too tough. Sure, a 2-degree rise in temperatures is bad. But 4 or 5 degrees would be even worse. Schneider's wife, Stanford University biologist Terry Root, recalled how in 2002 she was sitting at the hospital as Schneider slept after cancer treatment. The oncology nurse came in, chatted and asked her what she did for a living. Root said she studied how animals are being hurt by global warming. "That is such a depressing job," replied the nurse who daily deals with cancer patients. Then they both laughed.

"Resident Evil: Extinction," with Milla jovovich again fighting flesh-hungry zombies in the third installment based on the video game, opened as the No. 1 weekend flick with $24 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. It was the best debut for the franchise, topping the $23 million debut of part two, 2004's "Resident Evil: Apocalypse." Sony Screen Gems hinted there could be more "Resident Evil" movies, though the latest had been billed as the final one. "Until the next," joked Rory Bruer. Sony's head of distribution. "It absolutely would not surprise me considering the success of the franchise that they find a way to come up with another. It's a real possibility."

Rules used to apply to me, but I found they were cramping my style. When I wanted to stand in line doing nothing, then following the rules was fine. But usually I didn't want to wait, and so I stopped waiting. Now I get things done a lot faster, which leaves me more free time to solve the Crypto-Quip. However, my neat little system of personal efficiency is facing a threat. It seems more and more people think they, too, should be exempt from the rules. There can be only one, people! Last weekend at the Hy-Vee deli counter I spent three turns being "second" in line as other people, obviously busier and hence more important than I moved right to the front. I've waited outside an instructor's door only to somehow be fourth in line when he showed up at his office. A recent article in the Kansas regarding bicyclists being subject the same laws as other vehicle operators on public streets found some cyclists were shocked, SHOCKED, to discover that the police had failed to get the memo regarding their personal absolution from responsibility. "I trust my ability to see and my yielding," Bentonville, Ark., junior John Louis said, explaining why stop signs were for squares. I see my logic is catching on everywhere. Restauranters will demand removal of health standards because they trust their abilities to not ANARCHY IN THE U.K. poison people. Doctors will demand allowance to perform surgery in their garages because they trust their abilities to not get sawdust in the incisions. The entire world will become simpler when all rules are replaced with a slight smile and the phrase, "Trust me." learn the material have been ignored. My creditors also refuse to be more accommodating, despite my several insistences that "I'm good for it." My bathroom scale continues to apply the laws of gravity to my mass, even though I've vouchered for my trustworthiness to not float off into space. Trust is based on predictability. If I can assume someone will not stab me in the back, I can trust him to stand behind me with a knife. Failing to follow rules except when they are convenient. "I trust my ability to stay standing on the ground," I said. "No dice," said the scale, and showed me a number significantly higher than I thought was fair. It seems some people will Between traffic tickets and a lack of racks, cyclists have it rough KELSEY HAYES It looks like a parking garage for bicycles. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of bikes. Red bikes, blue bikes, black bikes, small bikes and large bikes. Locks from dozens of different companies. I'm standing just outside the The campus has numerous areas that deal with heavy traffic. There are the levianthan buses, ordinary cars and pedestrians trying to cross the street without being taken out by a Hummer. Then there are the bikes. Neither automobiles nor pedestrians, they seem to slip through the cracks. KU Police treat bikes and their riders like traffic. Running a stop sign on a bike can get the rider a $120 ticket, the same as they'd get if they were driving a car. It's a legitimate safety issue; a cyclist who runs a stop sign can cause a collision—SUV versus TITIIDA DRAWING BOARD A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z bike, pick it—in a four-way stop. however, sort of throws off his predictability. A cyclist who does what he wants might trust himself, but no one else can trust him. One group who fails to appreciate my viewpoint is my professors. Repeated calls to cancel tests because I can be trusted to MAX RINKEL While KU Police are obviously obligated to correct dangerous behavior, the school itself should be doing more to accommodate cyclists. never get on board with my plan. Until then, though, feel free to run every stop sign you come to, as long as you think you can be trusted to do so. Minster is a Lawrence senior in economics. Alternative forms of transportation should be encouraged and supported. KU shouldn't want its roads clogged with cars, not only because it causes congestion, but because of pollution and exhaust fumes. The school should, by all intents and purposes, be falling all over itself to make cycling an appealing Alter If only KU could be more like the Dutch. train station in Amsterdam, a city that loves its bikes. People have plenty of bike racks all over the city, and if they can't find a space, it's cool. Tie it to a light post, a canal rail or a street sign. choice for students, faculty and other staff. For one thing, there are not nearly enough bike racks on campus. Three University departments—The Center for Sustainability, Facilities Operations and Design and Construction Management—announced in late August that new racks would be constructed. This is a great start, and hopefully it will help ease some of the congestion on the current racks, and cut down on the number of bikes and mopeds that are impounded. It's bad enough that there are not enough racks for the number of bikes. Bikes and mopeds that are improperly stored (such as chained to light poles and trees) are impounded without warning at the owners' expense. Cyclists pretty much can't win. Cycling etiquette on campus should also be clearly spelled out (is it kisher to pass a stopped bus, for example). If buses, cars and bikes continue to clash, a more long-term solution might be to create bike-only lanes and paths on campus. For now, hopefully the creation of more racks will solve the problem. Cyclists should be subject to the same rules, I agree. However, there's a lot more to be done in supporting cyclists' alternative transportation choices.

In order to keep this great nation competitive, everyone should have the opportunity to go to college and receive a quality education. Lately, that has become difficult as college tuition rates increase, leaving students with a large amount of debt after they graduate. This dilemma is causing many students to abandon their dreams of a college education. Yet statistics show almost 80 percent of today's jobs require some postsecondary education and training. Congress recently addressed this critical situation. With bipartisan support, the College Cost Reduction Act (H.R. 2669), passed both the House and Senate and is expected to be signed into law by President Bush. The measure will reduce the interest rate for Stafford student loans from 6.8 percent to 3.4 percent over a period of four years as well as provide significant increases in Pell Grants. This legislation represents the single largest investment in higher education since the GI bill, and it was accomplished without a tax increase. Another provision of this important piece of legislation is the TEACH grant program. This program will provide $4,000 grants to promising students who agree to teach in high-poverty schools or in subjects that have a high demand for teachers. It is clear that highly qualified teachers are needed—especially in high-poverty schools. America is known as the "land of opportunity" and I want to see all young people pursue their dreams of higher education. I believe lowering interest rates on student loans, increasing the amount of Pell grants, along with funding allocated to programs that help low-income students gain access to college, young people and their families will find a college education more affordable and accessible. This is a goal all Members of Congress should share. TALK TO US The approval of the College Cost Reduction Act is one of the few accomplishments of this Congress. I am hopeful we can continue to work together in a bipartisan manner to expand opportunities for young people and help them make their dreams come true. There is much more to be done, but passage of this legislation was a step in the right direction. Erick R.

The opening scene featuring Ryan Meharry and Justin Knubsen was shot Friday afternoon in the Centennial Room of the Kansas Union. Katherine Loeck/KANSAN 'The Devil is an Ass' play adapts on-screen BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com Jeremy Riggs hushed the noisy crew so Satan and his demon Pug could rehearse before they started shooting a scene for the film "The Devil is an Ass." Riggs, De Soto senior, adapted the 17th century play by Ben Jonson for his first feature film. He also produced and directed the film. The crew set up Satan's office in the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union on Friday. The room was filled with huge lights, and cameras focused on Satan's desk. About 15 people were scattered about the room placing props, covering windows with red film and going over scripts. Tony Ontiveros, director of photography and 2006 graduate, walked around the set with clothespins strapped around his body like machine gun bullets, clipping colored sheets to the lights to adjust the hue. Riggs owns a production company called Limestone Productions. He partnered with local actors, students from KU Filmworks and recent graduates from the University of Kansas to make the film. Riggs said the University department of theatre and film did a good job teaching theory, but because the fairly new department didn't have a lot of funding, they didn't offer a lot of hands-on experience for film students. Riggs' film depicts Satan as the CEO of a company that's going out of business. The script illustrates humankind as so innately corrupt that Satan will soon be out of a job "We are giving them an opportunity to use this as a learning tool," Riggs said. "To practice what they've learned and to use the theory that they've learned in a practical application." Ryan Meharry, University of Missouri-Kansas City senior, played Satan. He said he wanted to avoid common cliches like playing Satan as cool or mobster-like. "He's just at his wits end." Mehary said of his character. "He's irritable and he smokes a lot. He's a very frustrated kind of a loser, or an ass." Riggs said his main motivation for the film was his love for classic theatre. He said he wanted to make it more accessible for a modern audience. He used the original language of the play, but changed the setting to modern-day London. He also added a few subtle visual effects to add satire. For example, a book of vices, basically a yearbook for demons, rests on Satan's desk. One of the vices, corruption, has a photo of George W. Bush next to it. Riggs said he didn't add too many current topics; he wanted to keep the focus on the general existence of corruption over time. Riggs said he was originally working on a horror movie, but he came across this play and decided he wanted to make a more meaningful film. "It's such a great social commentary," Riggs said. "A movie is fun, it's just entertaining; it doesn't say anything. A film causes a reaction. A movie is just a movie but a film can change someone's life." ished by May 2008. He said he will send it to various festivals in hopes of getting picked up by distributors. He said he would like to work out a private screening with the University so students can have the chance to view the film.

As Austin Powers would say, "What does it all mean, Basil?" TALIB 3 Chances are, not even Basil is sure what to make of Kansas' hot start. Sure, Kansas outscores its first four opponents 214-23 is impressive, but those four schools' combined 3-13 record isn't. Team rolls to 4-0 record Basisically, the only sure bet is, two weeks from now teams will no longer hand Kansas victories. After Kansas' bye this week, it plays at Kansas State, where the Jayhawks can't expect the Wildcats to make the same mistakes the Florida International Golden Panthers made Saturday night. FIU's five turnovers don't even tell the whole story of how hopeless the Panthers looked on offense. The fact that the team had nearly as many yards punting (239) as they had of total offense (255) does the FIU offense a little more justice. Kansas' swarming defense had something to do with that, but the Panthers shot themselves in the paws time and time again. At the start of the second quarter, FIU trailed 10-3. Kansas had just turned the ball over on the FIU 24-yard line on downs. This was the Panthers' chance to make the game interesting. In a way, they did. Aqib Talib, junior cornerback, makes an interception in the end zone during the fourth quarter of the game against Florida International Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Talib returned the interception 100 yards for a touchdown setting the school record for the longest interception return for a touchdown. SEE SHROVER ON PAGE 8B The Panthers converted on third and 13 on the ensuing drive. The offense looked as though it was coming to life. Then FIU managed to lose 14 yards on the next three plays without committing a penalty or being sacked. That drive erased any expectations of a competitive game. On the other side of the ball, it was hard to tell how many yards Kansas earned of the 615 it accumulated offensively. When the Jayhawks got the ball back after turning it over on downs, they marched down the field for their second touchdown.

The Jayhawk victory moved Kansas to 4-0 on the season and dropped Florida International to 0-4. Though the final score accurately depicted the imbalance on the field, matters could have been much worse for the Golden Panthers. Kansas senior running back Brandon McAnderson fumbled twice in the first half and sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing misfired on a fourth-and-seven deep in Florida International territory early in the second quarter.

Georgia threw the winning touchdown pass after Alabama kicked a field goal. BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com The fourth weekend of college football is traditionally the worst because many teams are finishing up their nonconference schedule with unspectacular opponents. The set of games was even given the title "Hangover Saturday" by ESPN. But the weekend was sprinkled with a few match-ups that proved to be enthralling and was supplemented with more than a few games that were interesting until the final play. No.4 Oklahoma 62, Tulsa 21 The Sooners seemingly scored on every other play after the first quarter. They averaged eight yards per play against the Golden Hurricanes. Running back Allen Patrick rose to the top of the stat sheet this time with 145 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. Oklahoma wrapped up its successful nonconference schedule and out-scored opponents 246-47. No.7 Texas 58.Rice 14 Texas quarterback Colt McCoy finally broke out and played like many expected him to in the victory. He threw for a season-high 333 yards, tossed three touchdowns and committed no interceptions for the first time in 2007. His favorite target, senior wide receiver Limas Sweed, grabbed five receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns. Miami (FL) 34, No.20 Texas A&M17 This game left only one thing to be debated: which is worse, the A&M pass offense or pass defense? Aggie quarterback Stephen McGee failed to find anywhere to throw the ball and threw for only 109 yards and an interception. Meanwhile, the Aggie defense surrendered 275 yards and two touchdowns to perennially inaccurate Hurricane quarterback Kyle Wright. No.24 Nebraska 41, Ball State 40 The Cornhuskers' strengths were running the ball and stopping the pass. Nebraska did neither well on Saturday. The Cardinals limited the Nebraska running backs to 3.2 yards per carry. Cardinal sophomore quarterback Nate Davis assaulted the Nebraska defense aerially for a career-high 422 yards. No.25 Missouri 38, Illinois State 17 The Tigers' offense once again exploded, this time for 581 yards. But as usual, the defense was a different story. Redbird quarterback Luke Drone picked apart the Tigers for 242 yards on 22-for-37 passing. Mizzou quarterback Chase Daniel also threw two uncharacteristic interceptions. Oklahoma State 45 Texas Tech 42 Red Raider freshman-phenomenon receiver Michael Crabtree isn't invincible after all. Crabtree dropped a pass in the end zone with less than 20 seconds remaining that clinched a Cowboy victory. Crabtree did gather 14 catches for 237 yards and three touchdowns before that gaffe, though. Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrel threw for a career-high 645 yards but it wasn't enough to discourage Oklahoma State. Toledo 36, Iowa State 35 The Rockets' special teams doomed the Cyclones. Iowa State seemed to take a demanding lead with just more than five minutes to play before Toledo kick returner Jalen Parmele had an 82-yard return and set up a quick touchdown. Iowa State mishandled a punt attempt on fourth down the next possession, and Rocket linebacker Greg Hay recovered the ball for a game-winning touchdown. Colorado 42, Miami (OH) 0 Either the Buffalo offense felt it had something to prove or the Redhawk defense is horrendous. Colorado's 637 yards of total offense were almost 200 yards more than its previous two game totals combined. The surge was led by senior running back Hugh Charles, who returned from a hamstring injury, with 123 yards and a touchdown. Baylor 34, Buffalo 21 Baylor quarterback Blake Szymanski threw for three touchdowns and ran for one. The way that Szymanski has played in the last three games makes it hard to believe he had to beat out three other players for the starting quarterback position. In that span, he's thrown for 14 touchdowns and an average of 334 yards per game. No.1 USC 47, Washington State 14 The Trojans had primarily relied on their rushing attack so far this season. Against the Cougars, however, quarterback John David Booty threw for 279 yards and four touchdowns on 28-for-35 passing. No.2 LSU 28, South Carolina 16 Tiger quarterback Matt Flynn was only 8-for-19 for 71 yards. But Flynn's team out-rushed the Gamecocks 288 yards to six yards, rendering his woes unimportant. Life on the road in the Southeastern Conference made Mississippi face a young Gators team. The Gators narrowly avoided an upset in Oxford, Miss. No. 3 Florida 30, Mississippi 24 No. 5 West Virginia 48 East Carolina 7 Mountaineer junior wide receiver Darius Reynaud caught five passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns and carried the ball twice for 58 yards. No. 6 California 45 Arizona 27 The Golden Bears lost three games last year and have avenged two of them, Tennessee and Arizona. California will wait a month and a half for its shot at USC. Last season's USC game was the third loss for California. No.8 Ohio State 58 Northwestern7 Questions about the Buckeye offense withered away as quarterback Todd Boeckex exploited the Wildcats' defense for four touchdowns in three quarters. No.9 Wisconsin 17, Iowa 13 The Badgers haven't looked great so far this season. But for the second game in their last three, fourth-quarter heroes saved the team from an upset. Michigan 14, No.10 Penn State 9 "The Big House" remained a house of horrors for the Nittany Lions. Penn State managed only 270 yards and no touchdowns as they lost to Michigan for the ninth straight time. No.13 Oregon 55 Stanford 31 The Ducks overcame a sluggish first half and used halftime adjustments to shut out the Cardinals offense in the first half. No.14 Boston College 37, Army17 Eagle seniors Jolonn Dunbar and Jamie Silva combined for 15 tackles and held the Black Knights to 45 yards rushing. No.15 Clemson 42, North Carolina State 20 No.22 Georgia 26, No.16 Alabama 23 Tiger defensive backs Chris Chancellor and Michael Hamlin each recorded diving interceptions in the first quarter that demoralized Wolf Pack quarterback Daniel Evans. All the talk of the Bulldogs being too young to win in Tuscaloosa, Ala., turned out to be false. Georgia sophomore quarterback Matthew Stafford delivered a 25-yard touchdown pass to Mikey Henderson in overtime to beat Alabama. No.17 Virginia Tech 44 William & Mary 3 The Hokies' offense only outgained the Tribe's by 25 yards. But in classic Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer's style, the Hokies won with turnovers and special teams. Syracuse 38, No.18 Louisville 35 The Cardinals' defense presented a legitimate reason to be called the nation's worst by allowing the Orangemen offense, ranked 116th in the nation, to throw for 423 yards. No. 21 Kentucky 42 Arkansas 29 The Wildcats fought back and captured their second consecutive comeback victory in two weeks. Running backs Darren McFadden and Felix Jones combined 305 yards but couldn't prevent the Razorbacks from collapsing for the second straight week in the fourth quarter. No.23 South Florida 37 North Carolina 10 Tarheel left tackle Kyle Jolly watched Bull defensive end George Selvie sprint into the backfield all day, disrupt the running game and record three sacks.

Team defeats all three opponents, wins first two games by run rule BY BRITT BEASLEY bbeasley@kansan.com The softball team swept the KU Triangular tournament, going 3-0 against Butler Community College, Missouri Southern Saturday and Missouri Western Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark. Kansas cruised in its first two run-rule-shortened games of the season Saturday. "Right now we are looking at how are they doing with the things we talked about," Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said about the weekend's games. The team started the weekend by playing BCC Saturday morning and showed no sign of fatigue when the game started. Junior Stevie Crisosto led off the game with a single and later scored on a double by Junior Elle Pottorf, who later scored on a ground out by freshman Liz Kocon. The scoring continued as the Jayhawks made five runs in the next inning and another run two innings later to push the lead to 9-0, a score the team wouldn't relent. Freshman Allison Clark started the game by pitching three scoreless innings, allowing only two hits and striking out two. Junior Valerie George then came in and closed out the rest of the game pitching two scoreless innings, allowing no hits and striking out four. In the second game on Saturday against Missouri Southern, the Jayhawks again jumped to an early lead in the first inning by scoring on a fielder's choice by Pottorf. The Jayhawks' big inning in the second game came in the fourth, when they sent nine batters to the plate and scored four runs. Sophomore Sarah Vertelkia pitched four innings, allowing three hits and striking out eight. "Sarah is continuing to work on a couple of pitches that we have stressed since early this time last year, her screwball and riseball, and her screwball is definitely looking like a much improved pitch," Bunge said. "Allie Clark looked a little like a freshman," Bunge said. "She In day two of the triangular, the Jayhawks played Missouri Western. The teams scrimmaged, with the Jayhawks winning 5-3.

Moments after their victory, the Tigers were eliminated from the AL Central race when Cleveland beat Oakland to clinch the division title.

Verlander (18-6) allowed two runs, five hits and two walks in six innings. He has 35 wins in his first two full seasons, the most for a Tigers pitcher since Frank Lary also had 35 from 1955-56.

Theta Chi defeats Phi Delt 3,13-7, advances to next round 19 BY JOE PREINER jpreiner@kansan.com *Katherine Lock/KANSAN* Theta Chi's Ryan Montana, St. Louis senior, stops a run by Phi Delt 3'5 David Zimmerman, Dallas浅希man. Theta Chi's 13-7 win put the team through to the next round of the Greek league football playoffs. Theta Chi and Phi Delt 3 faced on in Greek league flag football playoffs on Sunday. Theta Chi, the top seeded team, had its hands full with first round opponents. The first possessions for both teams ended in intersections. Phi Delt 3 took a 7-0 lead early in the first half. The score came after a touchdown pass on a fourth down from Josh Weems, Lake Quivira freshman. The lead did not last long though, as Theta Chi's ensuing possession ended with Ryan Montana, St. Louis senior, in the end zone after a long post-catch run. Katherine Loeck/KANSAN The first half ended with both teams knotted at 7-7. Theta Chi finally broke the deadlock midway through the half with a long pass to the end zone. A missed extra point left the score at 13-7. Montana, who played both sides of the ball, made many defensive plays in the second half, as did the rest of the team. Phi Delt 3 played tough defensively as well, denying Theta Chi another score. The second half began in the same way. Both teams played strong defensively, and putting up points proved to be a challenge. With 20 seconds remaining, Weems ran the ball himself, spinning away from a would-be tackler. He said his only thought was, "get into the end zone." But he was stopped short. Phi Delt 3 team member Patrick McGowan, Dallas freshman, was impressed with Theta Chi's performance. "These guys have plays and stuff," The victory puts Theta Chi through to the next round. Montana was happy with the result. McGowan said. "We just wake up, eat and come to the game" "Iid just like to thank all the little people," he said. "They were a really good team. We played a clean game and did what we needed to pull out the win."

Ledonoffense by quarterback Katie Guinn, San Francisco sophomore, the Alpha Delta Pi squad scored touchdowns on all but one of its drives. Jordan Murray, Dallas junior, led the team in receiving with three touchdowns for the day. "Our defense is returning lots its members but a lot of our offense is new." "Things were clicking very nicely today. Our quarterback played very well." said Jennifer McCarty, Leawood senior. The team's defense played just as well, stopping the Sigma Kappa 2 squad on all of its drives. Alexis Kruse, Liberal junior, had a big day for the defensive team with four sacks and a diving tackle. But Alpha Delta Pi may have its hands full in the game against the second-seeded Alpha Chi Omega squad. Alpha Delta Pi lost earlier in the season to Alpha Chi Omega, 12-0. Alpha Delta Pi won last season's championship tournament, but after losing the team's starting quarterback and other key players to graduation, it struggled in the first part of the season. "It was our first game. We had some first-game struggles," McCarty said, "We were inexperienced, but we're excited to play them again." JENNIFER MCCARTY Alpha Delta Pi quarterback "We have a new quarterback and a lot of new offense. We have a lot of freshman. Our defense is returning a lot of its members but a lot of our offense is new" McCarty said. As the season has progressed, the Alpha Delta Pi offense has become more comfortable and improved greatly, something many of the players see as the biggest difference between the squad now and when it played Alpha Chi Omega for the first time a month ago. The rematch against Alpha Chi Omega is Thursday at 6 p.m. The game is at the Shenk Complex, Field 7. The team is optimistic about the rest of the tournament, confident that it can repeat as women's flag football champion.

Reesing had 415 yards of total offense and two touchdowns FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Reeing and the legs McAnderson to move the ball down the field. Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN "I felt like I needed to make up for some of the mistakes that I made," McAnderson said. "The best part about it was having my teammates' and coaches' support. They made my mistakes seem like our mistakes and I got back on track." McAnderson finished the game with 105 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Reesing bounced back from some early-game incompletions and an interception in the third quarter by finding receivers all over the field and scrambling for positive yardage when the pocket collapsed. Reesing, in just his fourth game as a starting quarterback, completed 23 of 37 passes for 368 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 47 yards and a touchdown. "He's doing a lot of positive things," Mangino said. "He seems to improve every week. When he sees an area that needs some work he seems to get it rectified." it to us in every phase of the game" Reesing and the rest of the Kansas offense did not have to piece together many long drives because the defense stopped Florida International dead in its tracks on the majority of its possessions. The Jayhawk defense forced eight punts, five turnovers and one turnover on downs, giving the offense outstanding field position - the Jayhawks' average starting point was their own 37-yard line. The only time the Golden Panthers turned a possession into points was late in the first quarter when a 54-yard drive resulted in a field goal by kicker Chris Abed. "They played hard and we didn't execute," Florida International running back Amod Ned said. "I don't get into rating teams, but I know they are a great team. They handed The slow start of the jayhawk offense was also taken out of focus by some spectacular work by the special teams unit. After losing seven yards on their first possession, the Golden Panthers lined up to punt the ball away from their own 8-yard line. Junior wide receiver Raymond Brown broke through the line of blockers and swatted the ball as it left the foot of punter Chris Cook. Freshman linebacker Dakota Lewis fell on the ball before it could sneak out of the end zone, giving Kansas a quick seven point advantage just two minutes into the game. "It took all of the pressure off of the offense," McAnderson said. "We won the field position battle, came away with three-and-outs and scored on turnovers. The defense and special teams are actually part of our offense." But the Jayhawk offense might not have needed the help on Saturday night. Eleven Jayhawks caught passes, four scored offensive touchdowns and three ran for over 40 yards. Sophomore Kerry Meier was the most versatile Jayhawk of all. He lined up at wide-out, in the backfield and as a slot receiver in the first half and returned to quarterback in the fourth quarter. Meier's final stat line was bizarre: 15 receiving yards. six rushing yards and 23 passing yards. But his appearance in the multi-dimensional role was about more than padding the stat book. "Kerry is too good of an athlete to spend all of his time on the sideline," Mangino said. "He will continue to play and contribute to our program in a number of different ways."

"There are a lot of teams that were tested with games that they were supposed to win and ended up with a lower score, but we didn't," Mangino said.

Fields had four receptions for 77 yards. BY CASE KEEFER Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN ckeefer@kansan.com Florida International had already faced two great defenses — Penn State and Miami (Fla.) before its trip to Lawrence on Saturday. But after a 55-3 loss to Kansas, Florida International coach Mario Cristobal said the Jayhawks defense ranks right with the two nationally-renowned units. "Excellent defense," Cristobal said. "They are very physical up front, do a great job stopping the run and mixing up their pressures as well. After we had great success running against Miami last week, they did a great job filling gaps." Filling most of those gaps was junior middle linebacker Joe Mortensen. He has become the star of the Kansas defense after switching positions from outside linebacker before the season. He led the team with 23 tackles and 14 solo tackles before the showdown with the Golden Panthers. But he seemed to catapult himself to another level in Saturday's game. "I thought he was outstanding," said coach Mark Mangino. "He played hard, he played well, I don't know how many tackles he had but he had a bunch." Mortensen finished the game with a team- and career- high, 13 tackles. He didn't limit himself to tackles, though. Mortensen forced a fumble, pressured the quarterback and applied tough coverage of the Golden Panther's receivers. F r o m the start of the game, Mortensen was a man on a mission. On two of the Golden Panthers' first five plays, Mortensen speed Mortensen recorded at least three tackles in every quarter before exiting early in the fourth to let the reserves gain experience. When asked whether it was his best game, Mortensen didn't show much hesitation. back and unleashed a strike that would have taken a heavyweight boxer to the ground. It caused Younger to throw a pass nowhere near a wide receiver and gave him a preview of what to expect the rest of the night. "Yeah. They ran the ball a lot "I thought he was outstanding. He played hard, he played well, I don't know how many tackles he had, but he had a bunch." MARK MANGINO Head Football coach and I had a lot of opportunities to make tackles." Mortensen said. "I love teams that run the ball." Jon Goerina/KANSAN through the offensive line and took down running back Amod Ned in the backfield. One of Mortensen's biggest plays came on a reverse in the But neither of those hits wound compare to what happened to FIU quarterback Wayne Younger on a second-and-11 play in the first quarter. Mortensen attacked a hole in the Golden Panthers pass protection, loaded his arms second quarter. Ned attempted to hand the ball off to a receiver when he met the wrath of Mortensen. Ned fumbled the ball and Mike Rivera recovered to give the offense a chance to build upon its 20-3 lead. But a play Mortensen almost made stuck out in his mind after the game. With 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, he recovered a fumble and appeared to return it for a touchdown before the play was ruled dead. "It would've been nice if they would have gave it to me," Mortensen said. "It looked like a fumble to me. I thought it was a touchdown but I heard the whistle at the two-yard line." View from press row BY ASHER FUSCO Touchdown or not, Mortensen terrorized anything and everything in his way Saturday night. And with Big 12 conference play looming a few weeks away, it couldn't have come at a better time for the Jayhawks. GAME BALL GOES TO... IT WAS OVER WHEN. FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL running back Amod Ned fumbled the ball away with two minutes to play in the first quarter. After 13 minutes of play, Kansas held just a seven-point advantage and was showing some early rust, turning the ball over once and committing two costly penalties, Florida International was on the move and into Kansas territory when junior linebacker Joe Mortensen jarred the ball loose from Ned's grasp. Sophomore safety Darril Stuckey grabbed the ball and returned it nine yards. From that point on, Kansas scored 45 points to Florida International's zero. SHARK SKILL GOES TO... Aqib Talib. The Junior cornerback is the Jayhawks best player and one of the most exciting in the nation. he showed why on Saturday. Just minutes after enduring a frightening collision that left him gasping for breath on the turf, Talib returned an interception from one end zone to the other for six points. Talib also did all of the little things correctly against Florida international, breaking up passes, sticking to receivers and playing the run with ferocity. GAME TO FORGET. Chris Cook. The Florida International punter got plenty of tries on Saturday night but did not make the most of his opportunities. His first punt was blocked in the end zone for a Kansas touchdown and he sliced two second-half kicks out of bounds. Cook punted seven times and averaged 34.1 yards per kick. STAT OF THE GAME. 14. The Kansas defense made it hard on Florida international by recording 14 tackles-for-loss. Junior linebackers Joe Mortensen and Mike Rivera were especially active in the backfield, combining for six stops behind the line of scrimmage. The Jayhawks' presence in the opposing team's backfield was especially impressive considering the Golden Panthers' offensive line was not all that shoddy. Mortensen and Rivera showcased their speed, bursting over and around blockers often. —Edited by Darla Slipke Asher Fusco Football notes TALIB'S TOUCHDOWN Aqib Talib's 100-yard interception return was not just a crowd-pleaser. It also broke the school record for the longest interception return and even impressed the star cornerback himself. "That was probably the best play I've ever made," Talib said. "I went 99 yards one time in high school, but it wasn't intercepting a deep ball. A deep ball is a little more exciting." The junior has scored a touchdown in each of the last five games, dating back to last season, and has recorded two interceptions and 18 tackles this season. REWRITING THE RECORD BOOK BOOK — The Jayhawks continued adding to the school's team and individual record books. The team's 615 yards of total offense ranks as the fifth-highest single-game mark in program history, and its 4-0 record is its best since 1995. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing's 368 passing yards stands at ninth in school history, and his 415 yards of total offense is fifth. If he continued picking up passing yards at his current rate, Reesing would finish with 3,597 passing yards and shatter the school's single-season record of 2.995. — Junior linebacker Joe Mortensen continued to punish opponents at a record-setting pace. Mortensen recorded a season-high 13 tackles and 3.5 tackles-for-loss. Mortensen is currently on pace to finish 2007 with 108 tackles, three sacks and 27 tackles-for-loss. The Kansas single-season tackles-for-loss record is currently 23, set by Charlton Keith in 2005. TIME FOR RESERVES Bean F Another blowout victory allowed some younger players to gain a bit of late-game experience. Freshman running back Donte Beane made his jayhawk debut, rushing for 16 yards on five cars. Junior safety Tang Bacheyie made the most of his playing time. making four tackles as a reserve. SCORING FAST Kansas' habit of scoring quickly continued against Florida International. The Jayhawks' most time-consuming scoring drive ate just 3:48 of game time, and their quickest lasted only 13 seconds. Florida International actually held onto the ball longer than Kansas by a margin of nearly five minutes. But the inflated number of chances did not help the Golden Panthers. They averaged just 3.5 yards per play and never found the end zone. WIDE RECEIVERS Senior wide receiver Marcus Henry saw his three-game streak of 100-plus receiving yards come to an end, but he wasn't to blame. The Jayhawks spread the ball around to 11 receivers, including Talib, reserve wide receivers Jeff Foster and Marcus Herford, and sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier. The 11 Kansas receivers combined to record 25 reception and 391 yards. Henry made two catches for 38 yards. FORCING TURNOVERS After Kansas' second game of the season, when the Jayhawks had totaled just one takeaway, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said the team's lack of forced turnovers was a concern. Two games later, Kansas has ten takeaways. The defense stole possession four times against Toledo and five times against Florida International. On Saturday, junior linebacker Mike Rivera recovered two fumbles and sophomore safety Darrell Stuckey recovered one. Two Jayhawks intercepted passes: Talib and sophomore safety Justin Thornton. CAREER FIRSTS Brown receiver Raymond Brown recorded his first career blocked punt in the first quarter. Freshman linebacker Dakota Lewis scored his first career touchdown on the sar. Several Jayhawks recorded career firsts on Saturday night. Junior wide PENGELAO play. Later in the first half, freshman tight end Bradley Dedeaux made his first career reception. The pass was originally intended for senior tight end Derek Fine, but Dedeaux corralled the ball after it bounced off of Fine's fingertips. ATTENDANCE Saturday's announced attendance was 42,134, but the gaps in the crowd were sizeable, and many fans started filing out of Memorial Stadium early in the third quarter. The announced attendance figure was the smallest of the season so far. — Asher Fusco Each week, Sports Editor Travis Robinett, football writer Asher Fusco and Big 12 football writer Case Keefer will vote on the Big 12 power rankings.

Granted, Kansas has more receiving options than the Big Ten has overrated teams, but leaving Kansas' lone All-American wide open is a mistake Kansas State won't make. The layhawks reeled off another big pass play their next drive on a simple dump off from Reeing to Jake Sharp on third and 10. Sharp dodged, ducked, dipped, and dived through arm tackles for a 31-yard gain. Sharp won't be able to navigate Kansas State's defense that easily. As generous as the Panthers were during the game, they were equally kind afterwards, heaping praise on the Jayhawks. "They are an excellent offense. They are truly a machine," FIU coach Mario Cristobol said. Few teams have played a tougher non-conference schedule than the Panthers. FIU opened its season at Penn State, played Maryland, then played at Miami before Saturday's blowout. If any team can quantify how good this Kansas team is, it's the Panthers. "I don't get into rating teams, but I know they are a great team." FIU running back Amod Ned said about Kansas. "They handed it to us in every phase of the game." Then again, if I'd just received a 52-point beat down, I'd be singing pretty high praises for my opponent, too. So, is Kansas really on the same level as Penn State, which thumped FIU 59-07. Probably not. Can the 2007 Jayhawks match the 7-0 start the 1995 Jayhawks tallied? Maybe. But first they'll have to get past Kansas State on the road. And Mark Mangino's 2-18 Big 12 road record doesn't inspire much confidence. Kansan sports columnist Shawn Shroyer can be reached at shsroyer@kansan.com Volleyball notes ACES WILD Kansas had eight aces compared with only one for Texas Tech. Freshman outside hitter Karina Garlington led Kansas with three, and sophomore defensive specialist/libero Melissa Grieb recorded two aces to give Kansas a team-leading 16 aces on the season. "We saw on tape that there were certain zones that they were more vulnerable in and our kids did a great job" coach Ray Bechard said. UHART UPDATE Natalie Uhart was in uniform for the first time since the team's game at Michigan St. on Aug. 31. Uhart sat out the last 10 matches with an undisclosed medical issue. Uhart did not see any court time, but warmed up with the team and spent the game on the bench. A Rustin Dodd middle blocker Savannah Noyes, helped Kansas gain a 5-1 lead. Kansas never trailed after that and edged Texas Tech 30-27. Game two was even easier for the Jayhawks. Williams and Garlington started an early run that gave Kansas a 16-9 lead. Kansas kept the Texas Tech offense in check, and a Noyes kill on an assist from Brown clinched game two, 30-24. Kansas saw its first deficit of the day in game three. Early offensive struggles put Kansas down 12-8. But the momentum shifted to Kansas on what may have been the point of the day. Freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser finished a long rally with a kill after Kansas and Texas Tech each came up with point-saving digs. The point cut Texas Tech's lead to 12-9 and spurred an 8-3 run, giving Kansas a 16-15 lead. Later, with Kansas leading 29-25, sophomore setter Katie Martinchlo dropped in a ball between four Texas Tech players to clinch the match for Kansas. VOLLEYBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) A BETTER BIG 12 START Kansas, with a 2-2 conference record, has nearly reached its conference victory total from last season already. Kansas finished 3-17 in the Big 12 last year. "I think last year it got to the point where other teams were saying, 'Hey, Kansas is coming in. We can relax and play.' Brown said. "We don't want it to be like that ever again." Noyes added 11 kills, while Williams and Kaiser notched six kills each, but Garlington's emergence at outside hitter highlighted Kansas' offensive performance. — Edited by Matt Erickson 18 Jon Goering/KANSAN Savannah Noyes, junior middle blocker, goes up for a spike during the match Saturday afternoon at the Horeisi Family Athletic Centers. Kansas says tech Teach 3-0. KANSAS 15 Anna Faltermeyer/KANSAN Freshman outside hitter Karina Garlington reaches for a dig during the match against Texas Tech Saturday afternoon. Kansas never trailed in the first two games. SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) --- tum, the Illini opened the scoring to the 41st minute when a through-ball into Kansas' penalty box drew keeper Colleen Quinn out of her net Illini 5 Jon Goering/KANSAN Nicole Cauzillo, senior midfielder, jumps for a header during Sunday's game at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. No. 19 ranked California-Berkley defeated Kansas 1-0. forward Courtney Bell beat her to the ball and chipped it back into the mass of players gathered in the box where 2006 Big Ten defensive player of the year, Emily Zurrer, headed it in. Illinois continued to create chances after halftime and capitalized on a mistake by the Kansas defense in the 54th minute for its second goal. 2006 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Chichi Nweke latched onto a loose ball at the top of the Kansas box and coily slotted it home over an onrushing Quinn. Kansas was forced to push numbers forward in an attempt to chip away at the lead and produced a breakthrough ten minutes from time. Senior midfielder Emily Strindren's pinpoint cross found another senior midfielder, Nicole Cauzillo, unmarked for the Jayhawks' only goal and her Cauzillo's first since 2004. "It was a great ball. It landed right on my foot, so I just had to finish it." Cauzillo said. "I was just kind of a little bit surprised that it landed right there. So I give her all the credit for that goal, and I just put it in." Coach Mark Francis said he was encouraged by his team's play but said its inability to capitalize on opponents mistakes was something that had to change in order to turn their fortunes around. "I thought we played well," Francis said. "It was one of our better performances in terms of how we played but I thought both of the goals they scored were soft, mistakes by us that they punished us for. We aren't punishing other people when they make mistakes and they made some today. You got to score goals to win games." VS. NO. 19 CALIFORNIA Despite matching California's offensive output, Kansas' second encouraging performance of the weekend once again ended disappointingly in its seventh loss in nine non-conference games. The loss was not the result Kansas had hoped for, but Francis said his team performed the best they had this season. The first half was characterized by a lack of finishing as both teams swapped quality offensive chances. Cauzillo once again led the Kansas attack, nearly scoring twice on long-range efforts from the edge of the box. One low drive forced a diving save from California goalkeeper Gina Pellegrini that prevented Kansas from opening the scoring. After the half both teams seemed determined to craft the go-ahead score as the game began to open up. Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, they were victims of an incredible strike by Golden Bears forward Katherine Daiss. "I thought we played very well today," Francis said. "That's the best game we've played by far." Daiss was the beneficiary of a driving solo run down the right flank by sophomore forward Torrey Deplaplane. Delaplane blew by Kansas' defenders and curled a beautiful cross across the face of the goal which Daiss volleyed home off the bottom right post. "We got beat today because they scored a really, really good goal," Francis said. "I mean it was an unbe lievable goal that kid scored." The goal was the end of scoring for both sides but Kansas came close to equalizing with a little more than three minutes remaining. Junior midfielder Jessica Bush's shot was deflected in the box and would have resulted in a goal had the deflection not fell to a perfectly positioned Pellegrini. Although Kansas co-naimed to push players forward in attack, it was not to be for the Jayhawks as they dropped their final non-conference game. Bush said that in spite of another loss to a ranked opponent, the team was prepared for Big 12 conference play and the challenges that await them. "We had a tough non-conference schedule and I think we are a little disappointed with what our record is," Bush said. "But it's a clean slate whenever we go into conference. Like coach said we aren't going to play anybody better than we have played already."

Kansas City takes to air for comeback victory over Minnesota BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The way Minnesota kept stuffing Larry Johnson, it seemed as though spies had sold copies of Kansas City's game plan to the Vikings. So just in time, the Chiefs abandoned their running game, took to the air, and barely avoided their second 0-3 start in 27 years. Dwayne Bowe and Tony Gonzalez fueled their only sustained drive with clutch catches in the fourth quarter and the Chiefs came from behind to beat Minnesota 13-10 Sunday, snapping a seven-game losing streak that had stretched back to last January's playoffs. "We wanted to run the ball down their throat. That was the game plan," said Bowe, who caught Damon Huard's go-ahead 16-yard touchdown pass with less than 10 minutes remaining. "But the second half, we made some changes." The Chiefs wanted to get Johnson, their two-time Pro Bowler, on track for the first time all year. But Johnson, still chipping away rust following his 25-day holdout and dogged by a defense trained squarely on him, was held to 42 yards on 24 carries. At one point in the third quarter, he lost yardage on three consecutive carries against a Minnesota defense stacking eight and sometimes nine men in the box. But Bowe, their first-round draft pick last April, beat Cedric Griffin in the corner of the end zone for the go-ahead score. "It was kind of a tale of two halves," said Minnesota coach Brad Childress. "Obviously, our defense was very stingy in the first half and we had to get off the field in the second half." Rookie Adrian Peterson rushed for 102 yards and caught three passes for 48 yards for Minnesota (1-2). He scored the Vikings' only touchdown on an 11-yard run. "Seven games to lose in a row, we can't tolerate that," said Gonzalez, figuring in the Chiefs' four preseason losses. "Everybody was frustrated at halftime. Guys were wanting to make plays. We were maybe trying too hard." The Vikings "secret" starter at quarterback turned out to be, as most people suspected, the well traveled Kelly Holcomb, who made his 22nd start of a 13-year career for the injured Tarvaris Jackson. Gonzalez got open for a 15-yard gain on third down in the go-ahead drive and two plays later Huard connected with Bowe for 17 yards. After play was stopped for a few minutes when a man ran onto the field, the Chiefs moved down for their second offensive touchdown of the year. "We ran into a pack of dogs with those Minnesota Vikings. That's a great defense," said Huard. "They were able to stuff the run and put us in third and long situations" The Chiefs had only 56 total yards in the first half. "I think we were pressing a little too much as a group," Huard said. "We just put too much pressure on ourselves early in the game." Holcomb, making his first start since the end of the 2005 season with Buffalo, was 14-for-28 for 165 yards and guided the Vikings to their only touchdown on their first possession of the warm, sunny afternoon. After Holcomb hit Sidney Rice for 18 yards on third down, Peterson ripped off a 16-yard gain before turning the corner and outrunning cornerback Ty Law into the end zone from the 11. "He is a tremendous runner," said Chiefs defensive end Tamba Hali. "I don't think I was able to get a hand on him all day." Dave Rayner kept the Chiefs close with two field goals, hitting a 39-yarder in the second quarter and connecting from 49 yards in the third after Huard connected with Samie Parker for 22 yards on third-and-15.

FULL STORY PAGE 6A > > LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Returning leaked documents was for benefit of University Last week's story on the leak of personal information spawned several discussions in the Kansan newsroom. The question most commonly asked was, "Why did you give the records back to the University?" The University Daily Kansan was one of three media outlets to receive the envelopes containing personal documents. The Kansas City Star and The Lawrence Journal-World made the records available for University officials to review, but both declined to return the records to the University. The Kansan made copies of the documents for use in the story, secured all of the documents in a locked location and returned the originals. BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT KANSAN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF The University contacted me Thursday afternoon, asking that the records be secured and that they not be shared any further. At no point was I asked to return the records. It was a decision that I made myself. After talking it over with the other editors, I arranged to return the documents without the envelopes or the included cover letter. I made the decision with no knowledge of what either of the other publications had chosen to do with the documents. My interest was obtaining enough information to publish a detailed account of a story that was vitally important to the student body. Beyond that, keeping the original documents would have only prevented the University from moving forward in its efforts to conduct an investigation and to contact all of the students and faculty who were named in the documents. There was nothing that The Kansan turned over to University officials that would have helped to reveal the identity of the person or persons who sent the material. The University's actions in letting these documents get into the wrong hands were inexcusable. That private information of students and University employees is open to exploitation is a significant concern. But withholding those documents and keeping the University from taking steps to prevent further problems would have been another mistake in itself. 》 ACTIVISM Student clubs take on Capitol to help Darfur Students from across the nation will gather this weekend to advocate for increased action against genocide in Darfur.

Check us out at www.kublooodrive.com + 。 American Red Cross THE UNIVERSITY DAYY KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 NEWS 3A GAMING SUA celebrates release of'Halo 3' with party, discount BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com Gamers united at midnight and early this morning for the release of "Halo 3" for Xbox 360. Stores in Lawrence did their best to prepare for the video game's highly anticipated release. The KU Bookstore and Student Union Activities teamed up Monday for a Halo 3 release party from 9 p.m. to midnight in the Kansas Union. Rob Schabel, Overland Park senior and SUA games coordinator, said the group had been expecting at least 100 people to attend because of what SUA and the bookstore had to offer. "The first 100 copies receive a special student discount of $8 off," Schabel said. Schabel also said the party had Xboxes available for students to play "Halo 2", a trivia contest and a screening of "Red vs. Blue", a popular Halo-based cartoon. on Tuesday." Schabel said he thought the game's release would impact class attendance today. Other stores around Lawrence also were prepared for the video game's release. FILM Nick Rodekuhr, media specialist at Best Buy, 2020 W. 31st St., said Best Buy had 600 copies of the game and more than 100 pre-orders in its system. "I know plenty of people will be skipping class or work on Tuesday to beat the game," Schabel said. "I know I'll be coming a little late, too. "I would expect all 600 copies of the game we have will sell out within the first couple days it's released," Rodekuhr said. He said the store would have a table set up in the back of the store so people could find a copy with ease. store. "We're going to have more staff on hand to specifically deal with the release of Halo 3 so that gamers can play the game as quickly as possible." Nall said. Kenny Nall, sales associate at Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., said Wal-Mart also released the game at midnight and expected a large turnout wanting to get their hands on the new game. "There a lot of anticipation for the game. We've been getting a lot of pre-orders and phone calls from people asking about when it would be released," Nall said. "We also have had a lot of promotion for the game here." Nall said Wal-Mart had adopted the motto "Providing the fastest way to play Halo 3" to encourage customers to buy the game from the Microsoft released three versions of Halo 3 for gamers to purchase: legendary, limited and standard. Rodekuhr said the legendary edition would cost $130 and come with bonus features, including two bonus discs, a helmet worn by game characters and a display case for the helmet. The legendary edition already has sold out at Best Buy and its Web site. Steve McDuffie, Wichita sophomore, and Josh Bowe, Bedford, Texas, freshman, play cooperative missions in the video game "Halo 2" on Xbox at a "Halo 3" release party Monday night at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union. Halo 3 for Xbox 360 was released at midnight. McDuffie and Bowe have high expectations for the new game. Gamers also will be able to buy the limited edition of the game, which comes with a collectible case, or the standard version if they want only the game. Adam MacDonald/XANSAN Stephen Scott, Topeka senior, was eager to play the third installment. He said he thought the anticipation for the game was so high because the game was one of a kind. "The original game was the first of its kind with a first-person shooter mode done right. The controls are solid, and the graphics are great," Scott said. "I can definitely understand the popularity of the game and see why people camp out for it." Halo 3 is now available at the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union, Wal-Mart and Best Buy. Prices range from $59.99 to $129.99, depending on the version. — Edited by Tara Smith ADVISING Majors Fair to provide information about academics, career options BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com When Samir Kashyap came to the University of Kansas last year, he wanted to go to medical school. Since then, the Shawnee sophomore decided to narrow his coursework to human biology and psychology. Students who have not yet declared a major or who might be interested in switching majors can find valuable information at the Majors Fair from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today on Level 4 of the Kansas Union. The fair is free and open to students, faculty, staff and alumni. It is sponsored by the University Advising Center. Shanda Hurla, assistant director of the University Advising Center, said students should take advantage of the breadth of information available at the fair. "There's definitely a lot of benefits for students," she said. Hurla said there would be representatives from about 60 different academic departments, including the Office of Study Abroad and the Global Awareness Program. Students can learn about academic majors, minors and potential careers. Hurla said mostly freshmen and sophomores attended the fair. Kashyap will be one of those attending. "It's a good way to get informed." Kashyap said. The annual event had usually been held during the spring semester, but has been moved to the fall semester this year so students could be informed earlier about their educational options. The fair is also just before the fall main advising period, where advisors meet with students and help them prepare course schedules for next semester. Andy Haverkamp, Hoyt freshman, said he also was planning on attending the fair. He is majoring in chemical engineering and said he was interested in studying abroad in Eastern Europe. Haverkamp said he had never been overseas before and thought studying abroad would be more beneficial to him than the typical classroom setting. "it's such an interesting culture," he said. "You can learn a lot about people." For more information on the Majors Fair and student advising, go to www.advising.ku.edu.

Chambers: The bus system on and off campus leaves much to be desired. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 25.2007 PAGE 5A De Oliveira: The proposed Oread Hotel would detract greatly from the local atmosphere. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2001 PAGE 5A EDITORIAL BOARD Students petition for Israeli study abroad program University of Texas may be only chance for Middle Eastern travel opportunity Last week, Hillel sponsored a petition to allow KU students to sored a petition to allow KU students to study abroad in Israel without having to disenroll from the University. The petition advocates allowing students to study in Israel through the University of Texas. Currently, the University of Kansas has no programs in Israel due to travel advisory warnings from the State Department. While its decision to disallow KU-affiliated programs in Israel is unpopular among those wishing to study there, it is the University's right to sponsor study abroad programs where it sees fit. Israel has been on the travel advisory list since 2000. According to the country's profile on the State Department's Web site, security concerns in Israel are only increasing. Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization, has de facto control of the Gaza Strip. Kidnappings, shootings and terrorist attacks are regular occurrences in Gaza and the West Bank. While the travel warning is mostly directed at Gaza—Americans are encouraged to avoid all travel there—the warning also encompasses Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, the two largest Israeli cities and incidentally the locations of two University of Texas programs. It is obviously a person's right to travel where they wish. However, the University has its own responsibility to ensure the safety of students and faculty. Its decision to make judgments based on the State Department's recommendations is both fair and responsible. Every state on the list is present due to deep-seated and sustained social, military and/or political conflict. The OSA already accepts credit from students who have enrolled in independent study abroad programs in Israel, an exception to their stated policy of not providing any financial or academic support for study in countries on the advisory list. This is a notable concession, and one that students who choose to study in Israel should appreciate. The obvious conflict in allowing students to study in Israel is that it opens the door to other programs in designated unsafe nations. If students are allowed to study in Israel, should students who wish to do so be allowed to study in Sudan, Indonesia and Algeria? It is unjust to make Israel a special case, which the OSA is already skirting in allowing transfer credit from unaffiliated programs there. Recognizing that students' wishes to study in Israel have a basis in genuine academic and cultural interest, the University of Texas compromise is, at this moment, the fairest way for KU to exercise its right to not directly sponsor Israeli study abroad programs, while allowing students to have a less-difficult time in pursuing their academic goals. Just as it is KU's right to ban study abroad programs in Israel for the time being, it is also the University of Texas' right to allow for such programs and assume responsibility for the safety of their participants. Finally, it is the responsibility of all would be participants, before enrolling in any programs, to educate themselves on the political reality of Israel today. THE LIBRARIAN YOUR PARENTS WARNED YOU ABOUT Putting a cap on the weeknight parties When we are having such a good time, sometimes it's easy to forget why we are here CASSIE GENTRY Welcome to my Tuesday 2 a.m. wake-up call. I don't know what classes my neighbors are taking but they must be easy. I do know that they are KU students and that they are, in fact, enrolled in classes. I have trudged up the hill on the way to campus behind them many a time. They carry backpacks; they talk about their classes. Yet they somehow manage to have a party nearly every night, and a fairly large one at that. During the week, I usually come home around nine after work to find that at least one of my three neighbors has Woo! I love drunk chicks, dude!" a party under way. This may entail any of the following: groups of people drinking on the porch, people stumbling into my yard, screaming and yelling into a bullhorn, guys running past in various stages of undress, or raucous games of beer pong. Now I like parties, and I like having a few cosmopolitans with my friends. And if I had the time to party every weekend, I would. I don't mind waking up on Saturday morning to find the front yard full of such treasures as solitary shoes, empty beer cans, smashed plastic cups, various articles of clothing and passed-out neighbors sleeping off their hangovers in my front yard. All that is amusing to me—when it's on the weekend. I just can't understand these people that get stumbling drunk every night of the week. How can they possibly make it to class after a night like that? And even if they can, what kind of condition will they be in to participate and learn? I'm also unsure how they can afford the copious amounts BITSO'WISDOM of alcohol they always seem to have, since I have no idea how they would have time to go to a job. I hear people in classes saying that they are "soo hungover, man" and they got "so effin' trashed last night." The tone they use is almost bragging, especially when they say things like, "Oh you're hungover? Well there's no way you could have been as drunk as me last night." I just don't understand when an unhealthy excess of drinking became a bragging point. It's not something to be proud of; it's called alcoholism. If students cannot confine their drinking to just a couple nights a week, then they have a problem. I know we're young and this is the time we're supposed to be having fun. However, we all need to remember why we're here. Yes, part of it is to have fun and meet new people and if that for some people means partying a lot, then ok, do that. It is only one part, though. It shouldn't overshadow the real reason we're attending college: to get a good education. And that means going to class—well, most of the time—and putting in an effort. There's no reason that we can't have our cake and eat it too; there is a way to be a good student and also "get your drink on," as my neighbors say. Students need to be able to balance fun time and study time. When drinking is affecting class attendance or grades, it's gotten out of hand. I'll be the first to admit that it's great fun to hang out and drink with your friends, and I also firmly believe that's an important part of the college experience. The main thing is to know the limit and keep drinking under control. Don't let it overshadow schoolwork, and make sure to practice calculus as much as the keg stand, because—unfortunately for my neighbors—there is no way to major in beer pong.

Candidate preview continued Democratic front-runners highlighted HEN BEN COHEN Two weeks ago, I discussed in this space the current crop of Republican hopefuls vying for the candidacy for President of the United States of America. They were a fun bunch, full of fresh perspective and buoyant energy. Or maybe that was the piece I'd scrapped about "High School Musical vs. Mothra." Well, either way, it's the other party's turn now. The Democratic Party has had fun the last seven years. With President Bush in office, appointing cronies to every position short of White House toilet scrubber, authorizing vaguely justified military actions and generally looking like something even the most cynical political satirists would have a hard time dreaming up, Democrats have had the perfect target. He could be the focal point of all their malice, like Big Brother in reverse. This time around, they won't have that kind of luxury. As famous as some of the GOP candidates are, the Democrats still have to run somebody who can get by on their own merits. Besides, "Anyone but Ron Paul" just doesn't have any real ring to it. The most famous of the Democratic candidates is Hillary Clinton. Six years ago, she catapulted from her husband's coattails into the United States Senate, admirably serving a part of the country she had never lived in before and doesn't seem to spend much time in today. So far, her main opposition has been Barack Obama, a relatively young senator from Illinois. Clinton frequently criticizes Obama for his perceived lack of experience. Fun fact: Obama first joined the Illinois state legislature in 1997, meaning he had been holding elected office for four years when Clinton became a Senator. For his own part, Obama has risen to popularity by appealing to a variety of typically jaded voting blocks, such as students and minorities, by projecting himself as dedicated and sincere. He is also the most skilled orator in the vast field of candidates from either party. Seriously, the man could run for city sanitation manager, and still find a way to convince people that electing him would create a brighter future for their grandchildren. There are still others looking to run for president with a jackass as their logo. Former vice-presidential candidate John Edwards, no longer confused with the guy who went on TV and claimed he could speak with the dead, is giving a run for the White House another go. Rumors that that he is seeking a special brand of hair gel given only to world leaders have yet to be confirmed. There is also Mike Gravel, who has not held an elected office since 1981, but recently rose out of his icy crypt in Alaska. Whether he is actually attempting to run for President or, as some have speculated, to warn us of the impending return of the dreaded Cthulhu is still being debated. Then there is Dennis Kucinich. The Ohio Representative and former mayor of Cleveland is making his second attempt at winning the Democratic nomination. It is also the second time members of the party have frantically begun questioning each other, wondering who let him in. Perhaps the most enigmatic potential candidate so far is New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. A multi-ethnic, highly-experienced politician who handily defeated a Republican opponent in a perennial red state, Richardson has become a familiar name so far, but beyond that, most people know little about him. Perhaps he is not yet sure if his aforementioned success in New Mexico is strong enough to carry him, or if he needs to mention that he was at different times both a representative to the United Nations, and the U.S. Secretary of Energy. No, he probably needs to pad the ol' resume a bit more before he can really make his move. And there you have it, most of the aspiring Democrats, each with their own reason to be made fun of. The election isn't for over a year, so there's plenty of time to study each of these people, and any others who may join the fray. Until then, stay informed. After all, if you don't know why somebody is funny, you probably shouldn't be voting for them. Cohen is a Topeka junior in journalism and English.

According to the Red Cross, one pint of blood can save the lives of three people. BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com All students have to do is brave a needle and they will get the chance to save lives — and get cookies. Three groups have joined to bring a week-long blood drive to campus. They hope to provide enough donation sites to allow students to make donations between classes. The University of Kansas Blood Drive Committee, the Red Cross and the Community Blood Center are sponsoring the blood drive. Last semester, the groups held a similar drive with a goal of 800 donations. They did not reach their goal, but rather than aiming lower, they have decided to aim higher. "We've set a goal of 1,200 units this semester," Leslie Rhoton, committee member and Lawrence junior said. "The feedback we've been getting on campus has pushed us to feel we'll be more successful this semester." Students can donate at the Red Cross buses outside the Kansas Union and on Daisy Hill. Another station is located in the Kansas Union Ballroom. A mobile unit will also travel to fraternities and other organizations to help the committee meet its goal. The committee will display a large banner on Wescoe Hall to let students know how close the drive is to reaching its goal each day. "We can tell students that we're not doing so well, and maybe they'll want to help us out," Rhoton said. Donors must complete a form regarding their health history and conduct a brief confidential interview with a health professional before giving blood. It takes seven to 10 minutes to draw one pint of blood. Afterward, donors can relax with refreshments such as juice and cookies. Rhoton said she had never donated blood until she joined the committee. "I had a friend hold my hand the whole time," Golub said. "I was probably the biggest baby you've ever seen." Allison Golub, Overland Park freshman, donated blood Monday afternoon. She said students should look past the needle and take the chance to help others. "It makes me nervous, but if I look away I'm fine," she said. "But people and hospitals need the blood. It's a good thing." According to the Red Cross, blood is needed every two seconds in the U.S. One pint of blood is enough to save the lives of three people. Shirts that won't hurt Edited by Elizabeth Cattell MUCK FIZZOU Students brainstorm to replace offensive slogans BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com Student-athletes and other student organizations met Monday night to vanish a common foe. The place: Allen Fieldhouse. The mission: "Operation T-shirt." The enemy: the infamous "Muck Fizzou" T-shirt. The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee invited the groups to brainstorm ways to replace the controversial game day shirt and add a touch of class to the student section at games. Last semester, ESPN refused to film student sections while the "Muck Fizzou" T-shirts, which they deemed offensive, were being displayed. The SAAC hoped the meeting would be the start of a campaign to create new game day shirts and put student fans back on ESPN. Matt Baysinger, Stillwell senior and member of SAAC, said his organization could not make the needed changes alone. "SAAC is one of many student organizations," Baysinger said. "Our main reason in doing this is to unite the entire student body." According to the meeting mission statement, the SAAC wants all students to consolidate in one student section at games rather than attend in random groups. Initial ideas involved creating a contest in which students have a chance to design the new shirts. After a vote, a winner would be chosen and the "Muck Fizzou" shirts could be traded in for the new, "classier" shirts. Some suggested burning the old shirts at pregame bonfires. Others thought a famous alumnus could be asked to promote a new shirt. Warm reception was given to the thought of uniting the student section under one title: the hawk flock. Caitlin Mahoney, St. Louis senior, said she thought the meeting went well. "It's good to hear everyone else's views', Mahoney said. "As long as we can put them into action." SAAC members concluded the meeting by asking for volunteers to form a more concrete committee dedicated to the project. They asked that others spread the word to get other students involved. They said they hoped to get the message out in time to have a new shirt designed before basketball season. Hannah McMacken, Lake Tappus, Wash., junior, said she agreed that the entire student body needed to be involved in order to change the fans' image. "I'm excited that we're involving more people," McMacken said. "I think we can accomplish more as a greater mass."

OREAD INN Controversial hotel closer to approval BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission showed support for the proposed Oread Inn on Monday but will postpone its formal recommendation until Oct. 22. The members gave positive remarks about the project's size and how it could help students. The commission's greatest concern is parking. Paul Werner, a member of Oread Inn's developing team, said he expected the deferral. "I'd like to think we heard a lot of positive comments," Werner said. "It seems like we're headed on the right path." Oread Inn, which would be located at 12th Street and Oread Avenue, was proposed as a seven-story structure with 74 hotel rooms, retail locations and extended stay rooms. The Crossing, Beat the Bookstore, Yello Sub, a nine-apartment complex at 1140 Indiana St. and a house at 1142 Indiana St. all would be demolished to make room for the structure. Although the Crossing, Yello Sub and Beat the Bookstore primarily target students, members of the commission said students could benefit from Oread Inn as well. Werner said part of the retail space could include coffee shops and a sub sandwich restaurant. Members of the commission said the structure would also likely provide a place for employment. Tom Jennings, a member of the commission, envisioned the place as something students could use for Greek functions and wedding receptions. "I could see all kinds of places for students to spend money," Jennings said. "I think this replaces the money spent here in a much more positive way." The seven-story height, which measures about 94 feet, caused concern for Dennis Brown, president of the Lawrence Preservation Alliance. He spoke to the commission during the public hearing about how his group wanted to cut down the size of the building by two stories. Tim Homberg, a member of the development team, said that taking down a story or two wouldn't significantly change how the hotel affected the skyline. Planning commission member Grant Eichhorn sided with the developers. "If they make the size as economical as possible," Eichhorn said, "it will be like a blob on the hill. I'm willing to make some trade-offs to have a beautiful building." Joe Harkins, member of the planning commission, said Johnson County has had success allowing the construction of tall buildings. "Our neighboring county that has had significant development has changed over time," he said. "Tall buildings are not unusual anymore there. In 25 years, Lawrence will be the same." Oread Inn also would include three stories of underground parking featuring 164 spaces. It will have to receive a waiver from the city because current codes require that almost 100 more spaces be built. Members of the commission feared that 164 spaces wouldn't be enough and that the surrounding streets could be overcrowded with cars. Oread Inn would offer valet parking, which elicited more positive responses about the parking situation from the commission. The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission's overall supportive stance for Oread Inn contrasted greatly from the Historic Resources Commission's response. The Historic Resources Commission voted unanimously last week to turn down Oread Inn because it did not meet the guidelines consistent with nearby historical environs, the Snow House and the Oread and Hancock Neighborhood Districts. The structure's tall height of 94 feet was the main reason why it didn't meet the guidelines. The City Commission will likely be the final authority on the issue some time after the Planning Commission meets again. "This size on this location would completely disrupt the remants that are left," said Jay Antle, a member of the Historic Resources Commission.

A bullet pierced through his kidney and abdomen and cut through his spinal cord and vertebrae. Palermo fell to the ground, instantly paralyzed. "Oh, boy," he thought to himself. "Do you know what? Something just got taken away from me that I don't know if I'll ever get back again." she said. Palermo, 57, a former Major League Baseball umpire and now a motivational speaker, will give a speech about overcoming adversity at 7 tonight in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Free vouchers for the program are available at the Student Union Activities office. The fifth shot hit Palermo in the back at the waist level as he tried to get people down to the ground. He remembers the searing hot pain. J. I. O'Toole-Curran, Memorial Unions program director, said Palermo's speech should resonate with students. On that July night, after umpiring at third base during a California Angels-Texas Rangers game in Dallas, Palermo and a few friends went to a restaurant. At about 12:45 a.m., Palermo and friends were eating and winding down from the game. That stopped when an employee yelled out that two women "He has got a message to send." were being beaten and mugged outside. Palermo and his friends rushed out to help. "Look out! Here they come!" yelled one of the attackers. Two muggers sped off in a get-away car. Palermo and a friend chased after and took down the third assailant. Another friend dialed 911 in a nearby convenience store. As they waited for police to arrive, the car that sped away returned. Palermo could see the .32-caliber gun emerge from the car window. Several shots were fired at him and his friends. One of Palermo's friends was shot three times, in the throat, arm and leg. A fourth shot missed and hit a wall. The fifth shot hit Palermo in the back at waist level as he tried to get people down to the ground. He remembers the searing hot pain. "It felt like there was a rock underneath my spine," Palermo said. Palermo was rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, lucky to be alive. His wife, Debbie, got the phone call a short time later and made it to the hospital at 8 a.m. Two days later, the neurosurgeon told Palermo Palermo "I'm going to prove you wrong." Palermo told him. her that her husband would never walk again. The surgeon then told Palermo at his bedside. After four seemingly endless months of rehabilitation, Palermo, who was once confined to a wheelchair, returned home to Overland Park and continued therapy there. He learned to walk again, but he had to use a cane to do so. "It doesn't look like an oil painting." Palermo said. In 1994 Palermo was appointed special assistant to the commissioner of Major League Baseball and in 2000 he was appointed as a supervisor of umpires. But that's not enough for Palermo. He wants to be an umpire again. "That's a goal I haven't reached yet," he said. "That was taken away from me, and I'd like to regain that." KU baseball coach Ritch Price said that seeing Palermo back on the field again would be great, and not only for baseball. "He serves as an inspiration to anybody in any walk of life," Price said. Palermo also has an endowment fund for spinal cord research at the University of Kansas Medical Center. "I just want to find a cure for this," he said. Palermo said progress was being made every day in spinal cord research, and he offered advice for anyone who has a goal they want to achieve. "Always follow your dreams," Palermo said. "Because it is possible that it can become a reality." Edited by Jeff Briscoe 》 ACTIVISM CAMPUS Air Force ROTC students to practice navigation CRIME 6 p.m. today at Robinson Field.

The event will be held from 4 to Redding, a sophomore at George Washington University. said when students lobby it made an impression on elected officials. of the KU Public Safety Office said there were no suspects and that the investigation was ongoing Skoglund said that although no students from the University of Kansas were going to Washington, D.C., he hoped to send students to other STAND conferences. Students who can't travel to Washington, D.C., this weekend can get involved in the campus organization, Fight Ignorance of Global Humanitarian Threats. Mark Skoglund, Olathe junior and president of FIGHT, said the group had a partnership with STAND and he was interested in following the conference because of the work the groups did. Skoglund said an important part of the conference would be the networking skills students could use to mobilize other campuses and to make future efforts more successful. He said the knowledge students learned at the conference would help them in future lobbying. Someone stole the student's laptop, valued at $1,000, from a fourth-floor room while the student was sleeping, according to the report. Capt. Schuyler Bailey A student reported an aggravated burglary at Oliver Hall Sunday, according to police reports. Mark Dent More than 400 students will travel to Washington, D.C., this weekend to tell their elected officials that this is the year to end genocide. The group, Students Taking Action Now: Darfur, is holding its first national conference from Saturday to Monday. "It's mostly an impressive factor," Redding said. "They notice students because they act to get it done." Redding said the STAND conference was an opportunity for students to learn more about the situation in Darfur and to speak to politicians on Capitol Hill. During the first two days of the conference, students will attend workshops led by Darfur experts, genocide survivors and STAND's national leaders. Redding said the organization was excited to have human rights activist John Prendergast speak to students. Prendergast worked in the White House and State Department under President Clinton and also co-founded ENOUGH, an anti-genocide organization. On Monday, students will put their knowledge to work as they lobby on Capitol Hill. Redding said students would split into groups and attend meetings with their representative's foreign policy assistants to push for Darfur legislation. Karac Vander Yacht, Salina Junior, said FIGHT had held successful demonstrations. He said last year's "die-in" got a lot of attention when students lay in front of Strong Hall to represent those who died in Uganda, Darfur and other regions of Sudan. Vander Yacht said this year the group hoped to hold a "Nothing but Nets" benefit for countries with malaria and was working to bring John Prendergast to campus. Redding said the STAND conference had filled its capacity of 400 participants, but encouraged students to register on the waiting list because spots could open up.

The Orioles swept the Royals for the season Royals lose 3-2, remain in last place BY DAVID GINSBURG ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Nick Markakis hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning, and the Baltimore Orioles completed a season sweep of the Kansas City Royals with a 3-2 victory Monday night. The Orioles went 7-0 against the Royals. It's only the sixth time in club history that Baltimore swept a season series from an AL opponent. The game was a makeup from an April 15 game. The announced attendance was 15,769, but there were no more than a few thousand fans in the stands. Markakis hit his 22nd homer on an 0-1 pitch from Gil Meche (9-13), who allowed seven hits in his first complete game of the season. Kansas City trailed 2-1 in the eighth before Mark Grudzielanek tied it with his first career pinch-hit home run in 1,682 major league games. The drive came against Jamie Walker (3-2), who was making his club-record 80th appearance of the season. Chad Bradford pitched the mnn for his second save. Orioles starter Daniel Cabrera allowed one run and six hits in seven innings. He left with a 2-1 lead, but Grudzielanek's homer made the right-hander 0-5 in seven starts since Aug. 14. Mchee retired 11 straight batters before Ramon Hernandez hit a one-out single in the fifth. One out later, Tike Redman delivered an RBI double for a 1-0 lead, and Brian Roberts walked before Melvin Mora singled in a run. The Royals got a run in the sixth when Esteban German singled and scored on a two-out double by Mark Teahen. With two on and two outs in the catch, Redman made a diving catch of a sinking liner to center by German to preserve the lead. The victory enabled the Oriones to move three games ahead of last-place Tampa Bay in the AL East. Kansas City, bidding to avoid a last-place finish for a fourth straight season, fell a game behind fourth place Chicago in the AL Central. OBSERVATIONS FROM IRAQ IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE Presented by: Major Andrew Harvey Wednesday, September 26, 2007 7:30 PM, Simons Media Room ROBERT J. DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS The University of Kansas www.doleinstitute.org ASSOCIATED PRESS Steroid operations busted DRUGS Nation's largest federal crackdown results in more than 120 arrests; China, other countries help investigate dealers' foreign connections LOPOTION NDE BY ERIC TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS This undated image provided by the Drug Enforcement Agency shows containers holding vials of steroids confiscated on Long Island, N.Y., during the DEA's Operation Raw Deal. More than 120 people were arrested in an 18-month international investigation of illicit steroid labs, the DEA announced Monday. PROVIDENCE, R.I. Federal authorities announced the largest crackdown on illegal steroids in the nation's history Monday, arresting more than 120 people and raiding dozens of labs that manufactured growth hormone for sale on the black market. Agents seized 56 labs, many of which were located in dirty basements, and recovered 11.4 million doses of steroids, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. "We were a little bit stunned at the amount of labs we found as a result of this investigation." DEA spokesman Garrison Courtney said in Washington. "It's not something that's on a scale that we've ever seen." The announcement follows a growing number of scandals in the sports world over steroids, but authorities said the probe was focused on distributors, not users, and that no professional athletes were directly involved in the investigation. U. S. investigators were helped by governments of nine other countries, including China, which is hosting the 2008 Olympics. Among those facing charges are a Chinese manufacturer accused of smuggling human growth hormone into the U.S. and others who allegedly got steroids from China and sold them to U.S. customers. The probe, dubbed Operation Raw Deal, targeted manufacturers of raw materials needed to produce steroids, as well as steroid labs in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Agents also investigated Web sites offering kits to convert steroids into injectable forms and Internet discussion boards frequented by bodybuilders. "Even though their storefront is the Internet, rather than the street corner, the people who engage in the smuggling and distribution of these substances are drug dealers, plain and simple, and we will treat them accordingly," said Robert Clark Corrente, U.S. attorney for Rhode Island. Federal prosecutors in San Diego, New York, Houston, Kansas City and New Haven, Conn., made similar announcements. The labs' customers could include high school athletes, bodybuilders and ordinary adults who simply want to look better, officials said. "As we start to dig into this, I would have to believe that we're going to find customers who are in fact high school kids," said Steve Robertson, another DEA spokesman. The DEA said 143 federal search warrants were issued during the 18-month investigation, many of them since Thursday. The FBI, Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Food and Drug Administration were also involved. In all, investigators seized more than 500 pounds of raw steroid ingredients that originated in China. Other countries participating in the investigation were Mexico, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and Thailand. Police in Denmark raided 26 locations across the country. Germany's federal criminal office said its agents closed five illicit labs and confiscated tens of thousands of illicit tablets and capsules as part of searches carried out in five of the nation's 16 states.

His numbers speak for themselves: 299.75 passing yards per game, 2.75 touchdowns per game and an efficiency rating of 166.41. The question now is whether he can keep his freakish pace in Big 12 conference play. With all his new weapons, it's certainly plausible How will defenses respond when Kerry Meier, fully equipped with his long, curly and glistening hair, trots onto the field as a receiver? I know it was the most bizarre thing I've seen in sports since Charles Barkley's golf swing. Fusco: The addition of Meier to the fold definitely makes an already versatile sitte downright scary. Just look at all of the options Mangino has at his disposal: Meier, Aqib Talib, Marcus Henry, Jake Sharp, Brandon McAnderson, Derek Fine and Meier's hair, to name a few. I'm not sure what Ron Prince has up his sleeve, but he has a tough task ahead of him. — Edited by Tara Smith football notes PLAYERS OF THE WEEK Kansas coach Mark Mangino named the Kansas players of the week on Sunday, Junior cornerback Aqib Talib and junior linebacker Mike Rivera shared the defensive player of the week award. Talib made five tackles and one interception, which he returned 100 yards for a touchdown. Rivera forced two fumbles and made nine tackles, including 2.5 tackles-for-loss. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing won the offensive player of the week award for the second time this season. Reeing threw for 368 yards and one touchdown on 23-of-37 passing. His total passing yardage from last Saturday ranked ninth in single-game Kansas history. Freshman linebacker Dakota Lewis took the special teams honors. Lewis recovered a blocked punt in the end zone for Kansas' first touchdown of the game and made three tackles on kick and punt coverage. NATIONALLY TELEVISED Fans who can't make it to Bill Snyder Family Stadium Oct. 6 will still be able to see the 2007 Sunflower Showdown between Kansas and Kansas State. Fox Sports Net (Sunflower Broadband Channel 36) will broadcast the game at 11 a.m. as part of its Big 12 Conference television package. Kansas State is currently 2-1 heading into a match-up against Texas this week. Kansas is 4-0, having outscored its competition 214-23 so far this season. INJURY UPDATE Sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb did not dress for last Saturday's game despite being listed as a backup on the team's most recent depth chart. In a teleconference, Mangino did not explain Webb's absence but said the cornerback was not injured. PENALIZED After steering clear of costly penalties through the first three games, Kansas committed six penalties last Saturday. The fouls cost the Jayhawks 65 yards. Despite the Jayhawks' bad behavior against Florida International, Kansas has been penalized just 17 times this season. The team's opponents have drawn flags on 25 occasions. Asher Fusco VOLLEYBALL Senior wins weekly award after starring offensively After winning two conference matches last week, the Kansas volleyball team is starting to get noticed in the Big 12. Senior setter Emily Brown was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for the week of Sept. 24. Brown had 12 kills and 29 assists to lead Kansas against Missouri on Wednesday — its first Big 12 road victory since 2005. Then, on Saturday, Brown posted 10 kills, 25 assists and 11 digs in a victory against Texas Tech. The Baldwin City native is the first Jayhawk to take home the award since Loi Lima did so on Sept. 19, 2005. UP NEXT Kansas will play host to the defending national champion Nebraska Cornhuskers at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Horesji Family Athletics Center. Rustin Dodd CRIME Tyson caught with cocaine in BMW BY CHRIS KAHN ASSOCIATED PRESS MESA, Ariz. — Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson pleaded guilty Monday to charges of drug possession and driving under the influence stemming from a traffic stop last year as he was leaving a nightclub. Tyson quietly acknowledged to a judge that he had cocaine and was impaired that he had was stopped for driving erratically in Scottsdale on Dec. 29. He pleaded guilty to a single felony count of cocaine possession and a misdemeanor DUI count and faces up to four years and three months in prison when he is sentenced Nov. 19. A felony charge of possession of drug paraphernalia and a second misdemeanor DUI charge were dropped, according to the terms of a plea agreement. Defense lawyer David Chesnoff said Tyson had been clean and sober for eight months. Police stopped Tyson after the boxer had spent the evening at Scottsdale's Pussycat Lounge. An officer said he saw Tyson wiping a white substance off the dashboard of his black BMW, and that his speech was slurred. Authorities said they found bags of cocaine in Tyson's pocket and in his car. Tyson told officers later that he used cocaine "whenever I can get my hands on it," and that he preferred to smoke it in Mariboro cigarettes with the tobacco pulled out, according to court documents. He also told police that he used marijana that day and was taking the antidepressant Zoloft, the documents state. Since his arrest, Tyson checked himself into an in-patient treatment program for what his lawyer called "various addictions." Defense lawyer David Chesnoff had said previously that he had tried to keep the boxer out of prison. Tyson, 41, recently had been trying to revive his career with a series of boxing exhibitions. County Attorney Andrew Thomas said earlier this year that Tyson should be put behind bars if convicted, noting that Tyson was convicted of rape in Indiana in 1992 and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault charges in Maryland in 1999. "He has run out of second chances", Thomas said. SHROYER (CONTINUED FROM 12A) In the second inning I got my first at-bat. With runners on second and third and one out, all I had to do was put the ball in play to give Team Tryout the lead. And that's just what I did, grounding a first-pitch fastball to the shortstop, allowing the runner on third to score as the shortstop threw me out at first. 1-0 Team Tryout. In the field, no hits came my way, but I took a couple of throws at first from my fellow infielders to retire the Kansas batters. No hits came my way in left field, either, so all I contributed to Team Kansas was to backup the shortstop and third baseman in front of me and the center fielder beside me. I didn't come to bat again until there were two outs in the top of the fourth. At the same time, a thunderstorm was closing in on Hoglund Ballpark. Even with lightening lurking in the distance, I waited for my pitch. I was determined to get a hit. When I thought I'd found it, I took a mighty swing. Unfortunately, shortly after takeoff, the ball landed harmlessly in the right fielder's glove. But neither that nor the downpour that followed put a damper on my day. Heck, I drove in the deciding run in Team Tryout's 2-0 victory. JUDGMENT DAY The next day we all came back for the final day of tryouts. We were only there for an hour, but in that time the coaches tested our defense and hitting to see how much we'd improved in a week. My fielding and throwing were noticeably better. I still missed some grounders that I shouldn't have, but the ones I did field, I fielded cleaner and I was no longer making any erratic throws. I even scooped a few throws in the dirt, like I had years ago. However, my hitting didn't improve as much as my defense. I was trying too hard, and as a result, most of my hits were either grounders or fly balls. I got one at bat against live pitching that day. and again, I flew out to right. So was it worth it? You better believe it was. Sure, I expected to be better in the field, and I didn't get a hit off live pitching like I wanted to. I played like someone whod taken almost four years off from the game should have, and I can say with full confidence that I won't be wearing those game pants in the spring. Yet, I improved every day I was out there. For five days I got to be a baseball player again. For one day I was part of a team again (or, two teams, I guess). I even got to play ball with my dad for the first time in years. I doubt anyone had more fun than I did the last two weeks. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, thanks to all my friends and family who helped me prepare for tryouts and offered me encouragement from start to finish. You came through when I needed you. Thanks also to the Kansas base ball coaching staff. Coach Price, coach Frady, coach Kevin Tucker and coach Ryan Graves helped make this experience something I'll never forget. I found out first-hand why players come from all over the country to play for them and why so many players want to play for them, regardless of the odds. Finally, thanks to all the players who tried out alongside me. It was truly an honor to play on the same field as you guys and I urge you all to remember coach Price's words at the end of the first week. While the last few weeks provided closure to my baseball career, each and every one of you are capable of playing somewhere at the collegiate level. My advice to you is: Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't put away your spikes until you absolutely have to. A ballplayer without his glove is like a cowboy without his gun. - Edited by Elizabeth Cattell The Ramadan Fast-A-Thon Get Hungry for a Change Go from Sunrise to Sunset without food so someone else won’t have to... www.msaku.com THIS event is organized by Muslim Student Association of KU Help feed the hungry on WEDNESDAY, October 3rd, 2007 Sign up at Wesco Beach Monday - Thursday 10am - 2pm For details & to sign up, go to MSAKU.com Monday - Thursday 10am-2 pm For details & to sign up, go to MSAKU.com 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY,SEPTEMBER 25,2007 SPORTS 11A Lions and tigers and Yankees!

Lynch has a strained groin and Cutler a sprained ankle. Lynch left in the first quarter of Sunday's 23-14 loss to Jacksonville and didn't return, leading coach Mike Shanahan to suggest the perennial Pro Bowl selection must really have been hurting. Cutler sprained an ankle when he was sacked in the waning minutes by Reggie Hayward but stayed in the game for the rest of that series and the next one, which ended with him throwing an interception that sealed Denver's defeat. "Everything's fine," said Cutler, who was confident he would play Sunday at Indianapolis. "We've got a lot of time left. ... I think I'll be able to practice and give a full week Although Lynch wasn't available Monday, his teammates said they didn't believe their defensive leader was seriously hurt. "He looked OK," Champ Bailey said. "The thing is, that's John, though. You'll never know how bad he is. We'll see come Wednesday how he's feeling." Also, special teams ace Paul Smith went for an MRI exam on his neck after he pinched a nerve in the game. "I feel pretty good. I still have some numbness in my fingers," he said. "I had neck problems at the end of last year that kept me out of a couple of games. So hopefully it's not that all over again." The Broncos expect to get defensive back Domique Foworth back from a sprained ankle this week but safety Hamza Abdullah (hip) is out for another few weeks and left guard Ben Hamilton has shown little or no improvement from a concussion he suffered early in camp. Shanahan said. sports trivia of the day A: The largest attendance for a home KU volleyball match is 14,800 against Missouri on Oct. 18, 1996.

In the last year or so I've developed the theory that baseball players are the cowbobs of the 21st century. I could picture Trevor Hoffman walking into a saloon, spurs jangling, and ordering a shot of whiskey just as easily as I could envision Clint Eastwood — in his prime — entering a game in the bottom of the ninth, AC/DC's "Hells Bells" blaring, and sealing a victory for the Padres. Like cowboys, ballplayers have a walk an attitude and a look all their own. Suddenly it dawned on me why I'd had such a rough first week of baseball tryouts — I didn't look the part. The whole first week I was trying to play ball in random T-shirts, ankle socks and mesh shorts with a clean-shaven face. What was I thinking? So, for the second week of tryouts I broke out my #17 Fort Scott Dragonoes (yes, Dragoons, not Dragons!) jersey and matching green, knee-high socks. To complete my uniform, coach Ritch Price was kind enough to lend me an official pair of Kansas baseball game pants. All of which complemented the week's worth of growth on my face. With the look down, my play followed. THE SCRIMMAGE On the first day of week two, those of us who made the cut scrimmaged a handful of players on the Kansas roster. Although I was going to be playing against Division I ballplayers, I wasn't nearly as tense as I was the week before. When I didn't have any problems playing catch, I knew it was going to be a good game. wishing to be a good game. Shortly before the scrimmage, coach Kevin Frady posted the lineup." 8) Shroyer, Shawn - 1B" it read, Whew, no pressure. And since I was at the bottom of the order, I also got to fill in left field for the opposing team. (Like I said, we played a handful of players on the Kansas roster.) SEE SHROYER ON PAGE 10A MEN'S BASKETBALL Players in the thick of Self's boot camp Making it through workouts is a mental test BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com mdent@kansan.com Jeremy Case knows what to expect at boot camp these next two weeks. The fifth-year senior has participated in enough boot camps to become a Navy SEAL. Each morning he'll roll out of bed at 5 like he has for the past four years in late September and walk to Allen Fieldhouse to start Bill Self's conditioning drills at 6. Case may be accustomed to Self's preseason workouts, but that doesn't mean he's excited. "I hate it," he said. "I hate boot camp." Boot camp began Monday for the Jayhawks and continues every weekday until Oct. 5. Clearly these aren't the players' favorite days of the year. "The hardest part is the 6 in the morning." Case said. "Nobody wants to be up walking over here when it's cold and still dark outside." "We don't touch a ball the whole time Once the Jayhawks reach Allen Fieldhouse, they'll do whatever Self has in store for them. That means a lot of running and drills. The players will do timed runs, defensive slides, backboard touches and anything else Self has planned. we're doing boot camp," said junior guard Brandon Rush, who's been sprinting for nearly a month and will be able to participate in most drills. The running at boot camp is always tough, but it can get worse. The veteran Case knows that all too well. One time during his career a former player, whom Case didn't want to name, overslept. Self wasn't too happy. "You can't miss class," Case said, "you can't be late to tutoring, you can't miss anything or the whole team has to run. So when that happens and it's like five minutes 'til, we all get worried." KANSAS 25 Worrying is something that senior Sasha Kaun won't do these next two weeks. He hates the running, the early wake-up call and the fatigue he'll feel throughout the rest of every day. But Kaun plans to keep an open mind and make the best of the situation. "If you say it's going to be hard," he said, "then yeah, it's going to be tough. But if you say I'm going to make it through and just be mentally tough, it will not be as bad." Edited by Jeff Briscoe Brandon Rush, junior guard, is participating in an intense two-week workout with the rest of the Kansas basketball team. Rush only recently recovered from a knee injury that required surgery over the summer.

Anna Faltermeyer/KANSAN Next week's game at No.7 Texas will complicate K-State's preparation Keefer: The Jayhawks sent their fourth consecutive undermatched opponent away from Memorial Stadium Saturday looking like they met Mike Tyson in a back alley. After the game, coach Mark Mangino said his team would not use this open week to prepare for Kansas State. Is he joking? Someone should tell Mangino the last time the Jayhawks won in Manhattan, Bon Jovi's "I'll Be There For You" was all over the radio and "Driving Miss Daisy" won the Academy Award for best picture. I've never even heard of "Driving Miss Daisy." BY CASE KEEFER AND ASHER FUSCO KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNISTS CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM AFUSCORKANSAN.COM Fusco: Mangino might not use this week to get ready for Kansas State, but the fans and media sure will be. With no opponent to focus on, the upcoming Sunflower Showdown should earn the undivided attention of talk radio hosts, sports writers and all followers of Kansas football. I wouldn't take Mangino's declaration at ALEXANDER ZAMBOKOV ( ) r face value, however. It became clear that he was thinking about Kansas State when he inserted Kerry Meier as a receiver last Saturday. But hey, I'm all for it — there's nothing like mind games between rival coaches. Keefer: Mangino should hold a definite advantage in the mind game department. And I don't mean that because he spends his free time filling out The Kansan's daily Sudoku. He might, but the rivalry game hasn't even entered Wildcat coach Ron Prince's mind yet. That's because Prince's team travels to Texas this week. The Longhorns are chomping at the bit to avenge last year's season-ruining loss to the Wildcats. Fusco: I certainly hope Prince is devoting every last bit of energy he has to scouting the Longhorns, because Texas is a pretty darn good football team. After a near-loss two weeks ago at Central Florida, the boys in burnt orange made the Big 12 proud this weekend, obliterating Rice by 44 points. The Owls aren't anything special defensively, but Texas quarterback Colt McCoy looked great last weekend, throwing for 333 yards. Speaking of great performances, how about Todd Reesing and his 368 passing yards last week? 4 1 --- SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 10A THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COLUMNIST TAKES HIS TURN ON DIAMOND Page 8B WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COLUMNIST TAKES HIS TURN ON DIAMOND Page 8B WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 118 ISSUE 30 FONTROVERSY TRAJAN SUCKS Heart on their sleeves NO IT DOESN'T Trajan opponents wear their disgust TRAJAN SUCKS NO IT DOESN'T BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com A group of University of Kansas alumni upset over the Athletics Department's decision in July to change the font of its sports teams' jersey to Trajan has started a Web site with a name clearly stating its opinion: trajansucks.com. The decision to change the font was made after the University decided four years ago to unify the graphic identity of the school. The Department committed initially to support the University in the unification, and over the summer it was announced that Jayhawk teams would switch to Trajan font for the coming season. Matt Kirkland and Brad Lewis, 2003 KU graduates, decided to do something about it. After exchanging e-mails with what Kirkland called "other dismayed alums," the two decided to create a Web site and sell T-shirts in protest. Kirkland, a web designer, created the page. Lewis designed the shirts, which read "Trajan Sucks," and came in blue and red. "It is a well-constructed font, speaking as a designer myself," Kirkland said of Trajan. "But it is overused. It doesn't mean anything; it doesn't stand for anything. Certainly not our University. It doesn't say Kansas Athletics." The site, created last week, offers a forum for fans to discuss the font issue. It asks for a return to the "curling, arcerified typeface" that "subtly evolved into a unique symbol of jayhawk pride." Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the Athletics Department is committed to the change and he can't foresee another change in the future. "We have so many real issues to deal with, that Web site certainly isn't one of them," Marchiony said. Marchiony said the Department hadn't received one negative e-mail about the change to the uniforms, which included a switch to Trajan font on helmets and uniforms, since the beginning of the football season. Posters on the message board are mostly anti-Trajan. For Kansan sports columnist Rustin Dodd's thoughts on the University's switch to Trajan font, see page 1B. "Trajan on the basketball jerseys is a sin. Do what you want with football, but let basketball be," one poster wrote. A few disagreed. "I hate to burst your bubble, but the font is not that historical," another person wrote. "We started wearing it in the '80s. That's not exactly steeped in tradition. It's not like they're changing the colors, or the mascot." This is the fourth time the football uniforms have changed since 2001. The colors were changed from royal blue to dark blue in 2002, then to "KU blue" for the 2005 season. Marchiony said the Department would listen to dissenting views but would do what is in the best interest of the University. "I thought the University's respect for the athletic programs would be stronger than that," Kirkland said of the changes. "This is too far and was done by someone that didn't understand the history of what they were changing." The University switched to Trajan lettering in the summer of 2005. It paid $88,900 to LandreyMorrow, a Portland, Ore., company, to assist with the design. Kirkland, who now lives in San Diego, said his goal is for the Athletics Department to re-think the font change in time for basketball season. "We want to see them roll out for Late Night with the old Circus font," Kirkland said.

Seattle lets residents keep goats as pets ANIMALS ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — They have hoofs instead of paws and aren't known for fetching sticks or chasing mice, but pygmy goats are now legally pets in Seattle. ASSOCIATED PRESS The city council voted unanimously to reclassify the goats also known as dwarf or miniature goats as small animals rather than farm animals after testimony touting the virtues of the dog-sized critters as companions, weed eaters and milk producers. "One small step for man, one giant step for goatkind," council member Richard Conlin, who sponsored the measure, said after Monday's vote. these pets must be dehorned and males must be neutered to reduce musky odors. The little goats — up to 2 feet tall and weighing 50 to 100 pounds — must have pet licenses, just like cats, dogs and potbelly pigs. However, They're not allowed outside the owner's yard — but other people can borrow them for grazing. The measure was suggested to Conlin by Jennie Grant, president of the Goat Justice League, which she says has 100 members. She said a neighbor had complained about potential public health risks from her two pet goats, Brownie and Snowflake. The goats "are happy, they have each other, they have enough space to do the things goats like to do". Grant said at a hearing last week. "Every day they harvest blackberry bushes. Every day Snowflake gives a half gallon of delicious milk. I make cheese and I bring it to the neighbors." Mark Adkins judges a pygmy goat during a show for goats that are up to three months old in the pygmy goat barn at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe, Wash., on Aug. 30. Seattle City Councilman Richard Conlin wants to give Seattleites the right to keep miniature goats as pets — a proposal he hills as one small step toward sustainability.

ODD NEWS Rental car worker jailed for driving car 172 mph LONDON — A rental car worker who was clocked at 172 mph in his company's Porsche was jailed Monday for 10 weeks. Tim Brady, 33, became the fastest speeder ever convicted in Britain. He beat the previous record — 156 mph — set by car dealer Jason McAllister in 2003. Brady was caught driving the $198,000 Porsche 911 Turbo, which he took from his employer, authorities said. Brady had nagged his boss to take the Porsche out the day before, but was repeatedly told no, authorities said. Judge David Morton called the act"criminally self-indulgent." Brady, who admitted to dangerous driving, was banned from driving for three years. He quit his job a day after he was caught. ("You were) utterly thoughtless of the danger you might be creating for the innocent," he told Brady.

Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt and House Majority Leader Dennis McKinney told the Special Committee on Assessment and Taxation that survival of the towns in disaster areas depends on rebuilding local economies — which means people have to live there. "It will cost a little bit now to get these communities on their feet or a lot in the coming decade to pay for the economic decline," said Schmidt, an Independence Republican whose hometown and much of his southeast Kansas district suffered massive flooding this summer. "From a state standpoint, there needs to be a discussion about the long-term health of regional communities" he said. McKinney, a Democrat whose hometown of Greensburg was all but wiped away by a May 4 tornado, said many people can't afford to replace their homes.

BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com P A mobile sukkah hut made of branches and greenery will travel around the University of Kansas and Lawrence for the next week. The traveling hut is part of the Chabad Student Center's celebration of Sukkot. The center will also build huts for the first time at the University. Huts will be in front of the student center and on Stauffer-Flint lawn. The student center placed the hut atop a truck to travel around campus, to residence halls and around Lawrence. Thursday marks the first day of Sukkot, a Jewish holiday that celebrates the outdoors and remembers the Jewish history of 40 years in the desert after the exodus from Egypt. Each year, Jewish communities build temporary outdoor sukkah huts to eat their meals and celebrate in during the holiday. Some communities also sleep in their sukkahs. Rabbi Zalman Tiechtol said the huts represented a cloud covering believed to have protected the Jewish people as they roamed the desert. "The big goal is Jewish awareness," Tiechtol said. "People should know more about our culture." Chabad will host Israeli Dinner under the Stars at the Chabad student center Friday, and Pizza in the Hut on Stuaffer-Flint lawn Tuesday. Both meals will be kosher. Daniel Goldshmidt, Minneapolis freshman, said he was looking forward to celebrating the holiday at the University. "They are one of my only resources on campus to keep in touch and get the resources I need," Goldshmidt said. "I'm really involved because it's a good means to practice my religion." Megan Williams, program associate at Hillel, said she and her husband would build a sukkah hut in front of their apartment building. She said they would invite the graduate students and young professionals from Hillel for a shabbat dinner on Friday.

"It's important for Jews in the United States who are doing well and have permanent homes to remember that and help us to think about those who don't have permanent shelter and ways to help them." October 2 Pizza in the Hut 6:00 p.m. Stauffer-Flint Lawn Edited by Ashlee Kieler University of Kansas enrollment falls BY COURTNEY CONDRON ccondron@kansan.com >> STATE Enrollment has gone down by 431 students at the University of Kansas this year, despite enrollment at all six state universities reaching over 90,000 for the first time ever. A University press release cited the new College of Liberal Arts and Sciences standards, which dismissed 884 students last year, as one of the reasons for a decline in enrollment. Jill Jess, University spokeswoman, said that the University didn't look for huge increases from semester to semester and that a 1.2 percent decrease was normal. "With a university as big as we are, it's absolutely normal to have such a small decline," Jesus said. Emporia State University was the only other state university to have a decrease in enrollment from 2006. Fort Hays University went up 5.1 percent, Kansas State University went up .8 percent and overall the state's enrollment increased by .6 percent. Jess said the University is particularly pleased that the freshman class ACT average at the University is equivalent to last year's at 24.6. Also, the University had a one percent increase in the number of minority students enrolled, and the The six state universities have a total of 90,063 students enrolled this year, which is a 2.8 percent increase from five years ago. University of Kansas Medical Center had a 9.8 percent increase in minority students. Jess said it was the goal of the University to be as diverse as possible. "This benefits the students and presents them with a multifaceted campus," Jess said. "KU remains a draw for a diverse mix of talented students," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a press release. — Edited by Amelia Freidline University Headcount, Fall 2007 Change from Fall 2006 Percentage Change from Fall 2006 Emporia State University 6,354 -119 -1.8% Fort Hays State University 9,588 466 5.1% Kansas State University 23,332 191 0.8% Pittsburg State University 7,087 228 3.3% University of Kansas 29,260 -353 -1.2% Wichita State University 14,442 144 1.0% CAMPUS Student housing, ResNet propose increase in fees BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com Students living in scholarship halls discussed the possibility of increased fees with the Department of Student Housing and ResNet at a meeting Tuesday night. The meeting addressed increased housing and Internet fees that could go into effect as soon as fall of 2008. Students currently pay $4,593 a year to live in the residence halls, a fee that can be broken up into three categories: $2,876 goes toward room fees, $1,628 pays for meal plans, and $89 is spent on ResNet services. ResNet wants to increase its fee to $500, and the cost would include cable. Internet access, and possible wireless availability in the future. Dianna Robertson, director of house housing, said at the meeting that utilities accounted for a large portion of the scholarship halls' budget and that students who live in other residence halls shouldn't have to pay for the scholarship halls' efficiency costs. Adam Fiedler, Holton sophomore who lives in Battenfeld Scholarship Hall, said both the housing and ResNet proposals took away the meaning of a scholarship. "The proposals defeat the purpose of scholarship halls because they will raise prices almost as equal as it would cost to live on Daisy Hill." Fiedler said. "There is no point in having a scholarship fund if it doesn't benefit the people." Fiedler said he and other students were angry that the departments just now discussed the proposals with scholarship hall residents. "They want to raise prices without showing anything for it" Fiedler said. "It's ridiculous. ResNet representatives said that they recognized how poor infrastructure in the scholarship halls was and that raising fees was the only way to fix the issue. Katie Oberthaler, Wichita sophomore who lives in Margaret Amini Hall, said she thought the plan wasn't fair to every student. "Some students use the AFC and don't have a computer," Oberthaler said. "So if you don't have Internet, why pay the bill?" The Department of Student Housing also proposed increasing housing and meal fees to accommodate inflation costs. Student housing will vote on the proposals Thursday night. Edited by Chris Beattie THIS WEEK ON CAMPUS September 26,2007 UNIVERSITY USA Please join us...

NON-LINEAR MUSING the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble , and to petition the government for a redress of grievance WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2007 PAGE 5A The new Oread Inn's development undesirable DRAWING BOARD Proposed hotel will detract from the campus' atmosphere PATRICK DE GUILERA PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA The city of Lawrence and the University of Kansas are at risk of losing an important part of the community. Support for the construction of a hotel on Mount Oread, in the intersection where the The Crossing is located, is growing. The Oread Inn, as it is tentatively called, would be seven storeys high and would severely alter the dynamics of that area. In her masterpiece, "The Death and Life of Great American Cities", the late urbanist Jane Jacobs illustrates the importance of diversity in neighborhoods and of natural expressions of urban life. Although Jacobs' book is for the most part directed at big cities, I think several of its arguments can be applied to smaller ones. The Historical Resources Commission voted unanimously against the proposal. However, Monday the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission showed support for it and will issue a formal recommendation Oct.22. If we analyze what the current intersection contributes to the community, and what the changes that the potential hotel will bring, it should be clear that the redevelopment is a mistake. First, it will take away the life from that area. The deck in The Crossing means that as long as the bar is busy there will be eyes and movement on the sidewalks. Before Yello Sub closed its doors, the movement was even greater. As Jacobs argues in her book, this is crucial for a healthy city life. It provides the dynamics that makes city life—and our campus life—so exciting, and also provides security. As long as these dynamics are present on sidewalks it is safer for people to walk places. It is almost certain that if a hotel is built there the movement will decrease. What will be the incentive for students to hang out in that area? The plans mention a parking garage being built. This just means that there will be less pedestrian traffic and more car movement, resulting on potential traffic jams and risks for pedestrians. The area is also a centerpiece of Lawrence's history and personality. KU alumni remember the spot with nostalgia and visitors comment on how unique it is to have a bar that is pretty much on campus. The buildings in that area are crucial for the visual diversity that makes our campus so beautiful. The contrast between the big University buildings and the bar that looks like a wooden shack makes walking around and observing the environment much more interesting—take the boredom in the repetitive patterns in suburbs as an example. To build an imposing, large and impersonal structure so close to campus will destroy that diversity. Not to mention that it will shadow our campus buildings and make them less interesting, and alter the signature skyline. The hotel will not add anything to the community if it is constructed in that area. Perhaps it will somewhat benefit the economy, but at what cost? It is mostly students who live in that area, so how will the hotel improve students' daily lives? Will it give students a place to hang out on a hot Friday afternoon? Will it give undergrads and upperclassmen a place to socialize at the beginning of the semester? There is a delicate balance in college years between academic and social life, and that area helps maintain it. The uniqueness of having a bar—and until recently an excellent sandwich shop—at the edge of campus should be something that the Lawrence community takes pride in and fights to preserve. I am sure plenty of alumni currently living in Lawrence spent at least a few of their Friday afternoons as undergrads having a beer and meeting people at that area. To deprive current and future students of that opportunity and to take away part of Lawrence's soul would really be a shame.

WRONG TO THINK THAT IRAN AND THE US ARE WALKING TOWARDS WAR." *Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a recent television address. TUESDAY MORNING MAX RINKEI Instead of flipping on the TV, enjoy a good book Reading is a crucial aspect of education, not to mention a great pasttime KIRSTEN HUDSON S sometimes, after too many hours of studying. all I want is to cure my un I want is to care my pounding head with some sort of mindless dribble; luckily for me, the TV or computer is only a click away. We can entertain ourselves so easily today. Yet in those off hours when our heads aren't pounding from ridiculous amounts of studying and we can entertain ourselves in more useful ways, we still choose the mind-numbing activities. So I ask, what happened to the good old-fashioned book? Recently, I went to see the movie "Becoming Jane", which is a fictional biography of the 18th Century novelist, Jane Austen. Yes, it was a chick flick, so there was a lack of men, but more noticeable was the lack of young people. My friends and I were the only ones there under the age of 40. In fact, I've never seen so much grey hair in one place before (other than Hometown Buffet on senior discount night, that is). I think this incident shows that either old folks have a serious fetish for Jane Austen, or more truthfully, that young people just don't read anymore. As college students, even with reading constantly forced upon us, most of us read only what is required, or not at all. I honestly cannot understand how anyone can get through a class without reading the text, but I know it's common to do so. There's not a large enough number to count how many times I have heard my friends and other students complain about having to read for a class. We're in college, and if you haven't noticed, reading is how you learn. It makes you intelligent. Why pay $800 for books if you're not going to read them? If reading for class is a rarity, then reading for pleasure is practically nonexistent. It seems as if we try to find every possible way to get out of reading "the hard way." Like Cliff's Notes and audio books. Audio books are not reading. Audio books are an excuse for those who don't want to put forth the mental effort to concentrate on one activity for 20 minutes. Then, there's the ever-present "I just don't like to read." Okay, I can understand some people not liking to read. I don't like to dissect things. But, if we have an entire generation saying they don't like to read, there is a problem. And that problem is that we prefer to glaze over in front of a TV rather than put forth the effort to read a book. According to an Associated Press/Ipsos poll, conducted in August 2007, 25 percent of Americans adults haven't read one book in the past year. Reading anything is good, so long as you're reading, be it magazines, newspapers, the back of the cereal box or whatever. But don't forget the merits of the good ol' book. Personally, I recommend Ms. Austen. Hudson is a Wichita sophomore in journalism and business. HAVE A POINT/COUNTERPOINT TOPIC?

Smith 7 1 6A --- NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2007 ROWING Permit allows boathouse construction in park BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com The Lawrence City Commission approved a special use permit for the Kansas Rowing boathouse Tuesday night. The approval moved the rowing team a step closer to having its own training complex. The special use permit would allow a boathouse to be built in Burcham Park, located at 2nd and Indiana street near the Kansas River. The proposed building would include boat storage, locker rooms and workout areas for the women's rowing team. The approval didn't come without concern about the environmental impact of the boathouse. During public comment, concerns of the proposed boathouse included damage to the trees and wildlife such as migratory birds, light pollution, and the use of non-pervious concrete. Lisa Grossman, Lawrence resident, said that she supported the rowing team, but that the boathouse would alter the character of the park. She said it was one of the less developed parks in Lawrence and the only cottonwood forest in the city. for the rowing team, but they didn't think the park was the right place for the boathouse. Susan Iversen, member of Jayhawk Audubon Society, said her organization was in favor of a new boathouse "We should be expanding this forest," Iversen said. "Not chopping it down." Andrew Pitts, an architect for Treanor Architects said the University would work with Lawrence Parks and Recreation through all steps of construction; to minimize the impact the project would have on the park. Commissioner Mike Dever questioned the use of non-pervious concrete material in the park. "I wonder if there is something less impacting on the eyes and nature," Dever said. Pitts said the goal of the University was to protect the trees and not cause more damage than necessary for construction. He said only nine existing trees would be affected, and two additional light poles would be added. Pitts said pervious concrete would not hold up to extreme cold and thawing. He said the non-pervious concrete would provide the best product for the program and maintenance. Commissioners approved the special use permit, but agreed the construction should work closely with Lawrence Parks and Recreation, and the city horticulturist. "I don't think we should hold up the process," Dever said. "But we need to consider it in a different way because it is a park." Rowing team member Alia Bober, Parsons senior, said the new building would be beneficial for the team members and recruitment. "It would be great to actually have a home rather than just a dropping point," Bober said. She said she followed the plans from the beginning and helped push for the 2006 student fee referendum to help pay for the boathouse. She said the team was ecstatic about progress toward the new boathouse. "Anytime Rob says something everyone gets a really big smile on their face," Bober said. Coach Rob Catloth said the permit would definitely set things in motion. He said the team had seen computer images of the proposed boathouse and couldn't wait to have their own facility. Catloth said the boathouse would give the team and the program a boost. "I think when it is finished it could be househits by one of the nicest boathouses in the Big 12." Catloth said. Through a student fee referendum passed in spring 2006, students will fund $4 million for the boathouse project.

Here's an idea. Let's talk about fonts. These different portrayals of the printed word are all around us. See that PowerPoint slide in Earthquakes and Natural Disasters class? It's Arial Black. See that writing on the shirt of that creepy Wesco Beach hippy? Looks like Comic Sans to me. So while fonts have given us nothing but joy over the years, a certain Trajan font has become more despised in Lawrence than William Quantrill and the Alcohol Beverage Control combined. Ever since Kansas Athletics announced that the font on the KU basketball uniforms will be changed to Trajan, Jayhawk message boards have been lit up with protests. A few angry alums have started a Web site dedicated to derailing the font change. The rallying cry of most Kansas fans has sounded a little like this. "It's a travesty, an abomination, how dare they mess with tradition." The only problem? The current "Circus" or "Olde English-" looking font you see on the basketball jerseys isn't really that old. The font has only been around since the 1997-98 season. Before that Jacque Vaughn, Raef Lafrentz, and the rest of the early 90s Kansas teams were wearing a slight variation of the current font. A similar look, but definitely not the current style. And what about JoJo White in the 70s and Wilt Chamberlain in the 50s? They were decked out in uniforms with standard block lettering — similar to what we've seen on the girls' basketball squad's jerseys during the last few years. Okay. Let's not get bogged down in the aesthetics of font styles. But the point is that as new generations of students spend time on Mt. Oread, the definition of tradition at Kansas will always change. Back on the diamond Sure, we'll always wave the wheat, do the Rock Chalk chant, and swim in the Chi-O fountain. But times change. I'm sure they didn't have the "Dancing Nachos" at basketball games when Wilt was playing, and I bet Bob Dole never had the chance to grub on deece Wheel Pizza on a Thursday night. Kansas has gone through change before. In 1946, a KU student named Harold D. Sandy designed a new smiling version of the Jayhawk. The symbol is now synonymous around the world with the University of Kansas. But when the new, more child-friendly Jayhawk was first introduced, I'm sure there were Jayhawk fans who longed for the scowling war-time Jayhawk that preceded it. Doesn't it all depend on what you grew up with? This columnist longs for those beloved basketball jerseys worn from 1997-98 to 2002-2003. With a classy blue arch on the shorts and triangular blue trim on the side, the home whites were uniform perfection. But is it the uniform I long for, or the players? Do I really need those uniforms to return, or would I just like to see Kirk Hinrich in the open floor, running the secondary break one last time? I think it's the latter. Players make uniforms. Uniforms don't make players. Listen, this columnist isn't trying to defend the athletic department. The choice of Trajan as the official font of the University of Kansas is a terribly poor miscalculation. It seems from an outsider's perspective that the font change on the uniforms (the football and volleyball team are already sporting Trajan lettering) is more about justifying the money paid to a Portland design company that advised Kansas Athletics on the change than actually improving the look of KU uniforms. But in the end, Kansas basketball will always be Kansas basketball. And when Brandon Rush is standing on a ladder at the Final Four in April, cutting down the nets after a Kansas National Championship, nobody is going to care about what font he has on his chest.

Sarah Leonard/KANS Sarah Leonard/KANSAN FOOTBALL Meier proves versatility on the field Former starting quarterback plays role of wide receiver in new offense BY CASE KEEFER ckeeker@kansan.com After Kerry Meier lost the starting quarterback job in the preseason, everyone, Meier included, thought his role would be to serve as Todd Reesing's backup. Everyone except Kansas coach Mark Mangino. Mangino adheres to a stern philosophy that getting the best players on the field regardless of their position translates into victories. And nothing illustrates that belief better than what Kansas did with Meier on Saturday. In the first quarter, Meier entered the game as a receiver. 10 "We've worked on that for a considerable amount of time, the key was if Kerry was healthy enough to do it." Mangino said. "Kerry is too good of an athlete to spend all of his time on the sidelines." Meier hadn't spent all of his time on the sidelines in 2007, though. He appeared in each of the Jayhawks first three games as a quarterback with impressive results. Meier completed nine of 11 passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns. Meier's success passing this season and experience from starting eight games last year made it clear that he was a valuable asset as one of the Big 12 Conference's Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 4B Sophomore quarterback/wide receiver Kerry Meier carries the ball up the field Saturday night during the game against Florida International.

VOLLEYBALL 'Nebraska phenomenon' Jayhawks to face defending national champ 'Huskers BY RUSTIN DODDrdodd@kansan.com Ever seen a team without a weakness? You might tonight. When No. 1 Nebraska takes on Kansas at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center at 7 p.m., Kansas coach Ray Bechard hopes his team can finally find a flaw in the defending national champions. Nebraska is that good. After a NCAA runner-up finish in 2005 and a national title in 2006, the Huskers are 10-0 this year, giving them a 106-5 record since the beginning of the 2004 season. "If there is one, it hasn't been exposed yet," Bechard said. Nebraska also has the last two American Volleyball Coaches Association National Players of the Year in its starting lineup. Senior Christina Houghtelling won the award in 2005, while senior Sarah Pavan earned the honor last year. Nebraska has blown through its early season schedule with relative ease. The Huskers have completed three-game sweeps in nine of their 10 matches - the only blemish coming in a 3-1 win against No. 5 UCLA. But Kansas (9-5, 2-2 in the Big 12) is playing its best volleyball of the season. With a 3-2 win at Missouri last Wednesday and a sweep POLLY JACKSON Brown of Texas Tech at home on Saturday, the Jayhawks snapped a 12-game conference losing streak, dating back to last year. "We're starting to pull it together and get healthy." Bechard said. nes the freshman don't know Senior setter Emily Brown was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, after averaging 11 kills, 27 assists and nine digs during last week's victories, and the team's trio of freshmen continues improving. Freshman libero Melissa Manda is eighth in the Big 12 with 3.83 digs per game, and freshman outside hitters Jenna Kaiser and Karina Garlington have also been impressive. Kaiser is the team's leading hitter with 2.49 kills per game, and Garlingen notched a career-high 14 kills against Missouri last week. Kansas' youth could be an advantage against Nebraska.

My love affair with soccer was re-ignited during the 2006 World Cup in Germany, but it wasn't until I found the Champions League that obsession began to take hold. Imagine a tournament that supplies dream match-ups on a yearly basis. Think March Madness over the course of nine months, only played on the sport's most hallowed grounds and with an international flavor. Pomp and ceremony coupled with an eerie anthem played before and after each match gives the impression of witnessing a religious ceremony, and in a way, it is. Soccer is called "the world game" because it's the most beloved and followed game in the world. Last May's final between Liverpool and AC Milan in Istanbul was broadcast to 1.2 billion people around the world. That's one-fifth of Earth's total population who watched a soccer match. To put that in perspective, 93.2 million people watched last February's Super Bowl between the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears. Let that sink in. Tuesday and Wednesday's group beautiful game. Some will find their initial prejudice justified, but those with open minds will discover a sporting event that rivals any in the world. Be certain it is not Major League Soccer. Give the Champions League a chance, and you may find your impressions of soccer misplaced.

DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS The University of Kansas www.doleinstitute.org Can't bring yourself to broaden your sporting horizons? Odds are you've been listening to far too much Jim Rome. IIII But by no means is the Champions League, or soccer in general, for everyone. Many are content limiting themselves to NFL action on Sundays, college football on Saturdays and Major League Baseball smattered in between. I'm not asking anyone to abandon those time-honored fixtures of American life. I haven't. Supplement them with the competition that has no American contemporary. impossible match-ups make it a soccer fan's ultimate fantasy. Europe is the centerpiece of professional soccer, and the Champions League is the crown jewel of its competitions. The most skilled players in the world — the likes of Kaka, Steven Gerrard, Thierry Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo — compete on a stage that rivals the World Cup for international coverage and interest. Picture the Yankees and Red Sox facing off in every game for nine months straight.

After a Surry County grand jury indicted the Atlanta Falcons quarterback and three co-defendants Tuesday, Vick's lawyers indicated they will fight the state charges on the grounds that he can't be convicted twice of the same crime. The NFL star, scheduled for sentencing Dec. 10 after pleading guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges, faces state charges of beating or killing or causing dogs to fight other dogs and engaging in or promoting dogfighting. Each felony is punishable by up to five years in prison. Arraignments are set for Oct. 3. The grand jury declined to indict the 27-year-old Vick and two co-defendants on eight additional counts of killing or causing to be killed a companion animal, felonies that would have exposed them to as many as 40 years in prison if convicted. Vick defense attorney Billy Martin said in a statement that the state counts concern "the same conduct covered by the federal indictment for which Mr. Vick has already accepted full responsibility." Martin said he will "aggressively protect his rights to ensure that he is not held accountable for the same conduct twice." Vick was convicted of a federal conspiracy count although the state indictment deals with the act of dog fighting, said Steven Benjamin, a Richmond defense lawyer who is not involved in the case. The prosecution will argue that's enough of a difference to allow the charges to proceed, he said. Vick has been indefinitely suspended without pay by the NFL and been dropped by all his major sponsors, Including Nike. Associated Press FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) But after the win against Florida International on Saturday, it became clear that Meier's impact this season might be made from catching the ball — not throwing it. Meier said he was enthusiastic about his new responsibility. best second-string quarterbacks. "The first three weeks I was waiting all the way through the third quarter just to get in and getting ants on the sidelines," he said. "Two weeks ago when we came up with the package we had, I was all for it and very excited for it." Meier said he had never played as a receiver at any level of football but was dedicating himself to learning the nuances of the position. He's already off to a good start. On Meier's first career play as a wide out, Reesing fired him the ball on a short route to the right side. Meier caught the pass and rumbled past FIU defenders for 15 yards and a first down like a seasoned veteran. Kansas ran an option featuring Meier on the next play. Reeing pitched Meier the football and he showed a "We want to find a way to get him on the field," Reesing said. "We're going to continue to use "The first three weeks I was waiting all the way through the third quarter just to get in and getting antsy on the sideline." make plays is important. burst of speed for six more yards. Reesing said giving his fellow quarterback and friend a chance to KERRY MEIER Quarterback/wide receiver him because he's a threat with his size and speed." to the left side senior running McAnderson alor Meier wasn't the only Jayhawk to find himself at an unfamiliar position during that possession. Before one play. Reesing motioned out and abandoned back Brandon in the backfield Two quarterbacks playing at the same time seemed strange enough, but when neither of them lined up behind center it was especially out of the ordinary. When Mangino was asked whether the new packages featuring Meier were shown in order to make Kansas more difficult to prepare for, he couldn't help but slightly grin. "I hope so, that's kind of the intent," Mangino said. "But we still have to execute in all those formations with all that personnel. The key is to sustain it, be consistent and continue to go on. I believe we will but we have to work at it." — Edited by Ashlee Kieler football notes INJURY UPDATE Though Kansas will receive a brief respite this week thanks to a bye week, the team doesn't have too much healing to do. The Jayhawks have stayed remarkably healthy through the first four weeks of the POLICE season, with the only major injuries occurring in the offseason. Harper Junior cornerback Kendrick Harper, who suffered an undisclosed injury in August, dressed and stood on the sideline at last Saturday's game. Kansas head coach Mark Mangino said Harper's playing time would be uncertain until he participated in more practices. Whether or not Harper starts, his presence should lend depth and experience to a secondary counting on Chris Harris, a true freshman cornerback. Kansas has a similar situation at defensive tackle, where junior Todd Haselhorst has played an increased role as the season has progressed. Haselhorst, who was injured in the offseason, has played in every game this season, making five tackles and one tackle-for-loss. He is currently splitting time with sophomore Caleb Blakesley, who has started all four games. GARNERING NATIONAL ATTENTION The Jayhawks' quick start has started to draw some national attention. Kansas received six votes in this week's Associated Press poll and 20 votes in the USA Today Coaches' poll. The Jayhawks currently stand at 33rd in the Associated Press poll and tied for 29th in the coaches' poll. The computer rankings have also been kind to Kansas. The Jayhawks are ranked eighth in Jeff Sagarin's "predictor" rating, which is based on factors such as schedule strength and margin of victory, and 38th in Sagarin's "elo-chess"rankings, which are included in the BCS Standings later in the season. Asher Fusco >> KANSAS CITY CHIEFS Herm's patience with Huard pays off in first victory very short leash. BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Damon Huard, who became Kansas City's starting quarterback almost by default when Brodie Croyle had a bad preseason, is apparently on a Coach Herm Edwards confirmed Tuesday that he thought seriously about yanking the 34-year-old veteran when the Chiefs generated only 56 yards of total offense in the first half and fell behind Minnesota 10-0 on Sunday. times nine or 10 men in the box and started throwing the ball down field. Huard wound up hitting 20 of 29 passes for 206 yards, including the go-ahead 16-yard touchdown pass to Dwayne Bowe in the fourth quarter of a 13-10 win. "Yeah, to tell you the truth. If we kept struggling and weren't able to move the ball, yeah." Edwards said. "I'm a pretty patient guy, and I sat there and waited." Edwards said. "In my mind, I let it go for a couple more series and then if it doesn't get going. I have to do something to get it going. You don't like doing that, but that's why you have patience." In the second half, coaches went away from a running game that was being almost completely stymied by Minnesota's putting eight and some- Croyle, 24, was expected to win the job because Edwards has said often that he wants to go young. But the second-year pro from Alabama played poorly in the preseason and the job went to Huard, who played last year in relief of an injured Trent Green.

Light Up Your Night Join us for LIVE music WEDNESDAY Nights Since 1936 1031 Massachusetts Edwards also said he had no problem with the way his players stomped around and yelled as they got frustrated in the first half against the Vikings. "I'm OK with that as long as you don't cross the line," Edwards said. "It's all in the competitive environment, and I think that it goes on all the time. This has gone on in sports forever. The thing that kind of makes it unique now is that there are so many cameras." Staring at an 0-3 start if they didn't get something going offensively. Huard and running back Larry Johnson were both visibly upset near the end of the half.

Toni Morrison, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, observed that "Ralph Ellison's place in American literature demands a biography that is as eloquent, thorough, and wise as its subject. This is it." The book represents a flawless match of biographer and subject. In Arnold Rampersad's hands, we fathom both the burden and measure of Ellison's brilliance."

He certainly played BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM up to that higher judgment level on Sunday. He was back to Super Bowl form, throwing for 381 yards and four touchdowns. As good as the Dallas Cowboys have looked, 7 ASSOCIATED PRESS Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb, sporting a throwback jersey, torched the Detroit defense Sunday. McNabb threw for 381 yards and four touchdowns. McNabb will have to maintain this level of play if the Eagles want to compete in the NFC East. 21 WR — I vaguely remember picking Kevin Curtis (Philadelphia) as one of the big sleepers this year. Well on Sunday, Curtis proved that I should have. Curtis had 205 yards receiving in the first half, the most receiving yards in a half since Lee Evans had the same amount last season against Houston. Curtis finished the game with 221 yards receiving and three touchdown receptions. The Eagles want Curtis to continue performing in such a big way the rest of the season. San Diego's LaDianian Tomlinson has struggled to match last season's stellar stats so far in 2007. Tomlinson rushed for 62 yards Sunday RB — NFL.com reported that the Miami Dolphins thought about replacing Ronnie Brown with Jesse Chatman before the game on Sunday. Brown then came out and had his best performance of the season. Brown ran the ball 12 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns, and caught six passes for 99 yards and an additional touchdown. Brown almost led the Dolphins to a come-from-behind victory over the New York Jets and should be a big factor in the team's offense the rest of the season. ASSOCIATED PRESS TE — There is little argument about Antonio Gates (San Diego) being the best tight end in the NFL this season. Gates performs consistently every week. Against Green Bay this week, Gates hauled in 11 receptions for 113 yards. If the Chargers want to win games, though, their running back LaDainian Tomlinson will need to regain his 2006 form. Def — Tampa Bay shut down one of the most potent offenses in the NFL. The St. Louis Rams couldn't get anything going and mustered only three points against BRIGHT EYES 23 OCTOBER 2007 LIED CENTER - 7:30 PM UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS TICKETS ON SALE NOW!

Leinart and Bulger have two of the best receiving corps in the league and will need to be more efficient in getting these receivers the ball if they want to win. WR — Has anybody seen Steve Smith? Smith (Carolina) was a ghost on the field on Sunday. Smith had only one catch for 10 yards. Let me repeat that: Smith had only one catch for 10 yards. Smith is one of the most explosive receivers in the game, especially for his size, but he had a rare off-day on Sunday. Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers intercepted the Rams' Marc Bulger three times and sacked him once. They also forced one fumble. Tampa Bay is now tied for first place in the NFC South and has to feel good going into its division showdown against the Carolina Panthers next weekend. Football next week DUDS RB — I should almost give it to LaDainian Tomlinson (San Diego) for failing to show up for the second week in a row, but when a team's starting running back gains only nine yards on 17 carries, there's definitely something wrong. Those were Cincinnati running back Rudi Johnson's numbers in the Bengals' game against the Seattle Seahawks. This is not the Super Bowl defense that Seattle had a couple of years ago, either. Johnson will need to bounce back when the Bengals face the undefeated Patriots on Monday Night K — Matt Stover looked at the top of his game as the Baltimore Ravens beat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Stover made both extra-point attempts and all four field goal attempts. Baltimore won the game when he kicked the last of his field goals, a 46-yarder, as time expired. According to *baltimoreravens.com*, Sunday's performance moved Stover into fifth place on the franchise's all-time scoring list with 1,745 points. QB — You couldn't perform any worse than St. Louis' Marc Bulger this past Sunday, unless you were Arizona's Matt Leinart. Leinart completed only nine of his 20 passes for 53 yards, while rotating series with Kurt Warner. Bulger didn't look much better. Bulger was 17 for 26 for 116 yards with three TE — Randy McMichael (St. Louis) was one of the premier free agents signed by the Rams in the off-season, but they have barely used him so far this season. On Sunday, McMichael had two catches for 13 yards. McMichael was an explosive player for the Dolphins last season, and if the Rams want to turn around their season, they might want to look McMichael's way more often. Def — How hard is it to stop an offense that put up a combined 25 points in its first two games of the season? Apparently, it's almost impossible for the Detroit Lions. The Lions let the Eagles' Donovan McNabb throw for almost 400 yards and four touchdowns and allowed Brian Westbrook to rack up 110 rushing yards and 111 receiving yards. Eagles' receiver Kevin Curtis had 221 receiving yards. Philadelphia's offense put up 536 total yards and doubled the amount of points it had scored in its first two games. Detroit should rebound, though, when they face the nauseating Chicago Bears offense this weekend.

ASSOCIATED PRESS After his second season-ending knee injury in three seasons, the Saints' 28-year-old all-time leading rusher wants to believe he will return to the NFL as an elite running back. It won't be easy, and he knows it. "Obviously, the questions: Will you ever be the same? Will you ever be the back that you once were? Those are the different thoughts that obviously run through your mind as a player." McAllister said. "I believe in myself. It's just a matter of me putting the time in and me putting the work in." 26 McAllister said an MRI exam. Tuesday confirmed his worst fears: He tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in Monday night's 31-14 loss to Tennessee. New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McListerlims off the field after injuring his left knee in the first half of the Tennessee-Saints game in New Orleans Monday. An MRI confirmed he had tom his anterior crucate ligament and would miss the rest of the season. During the second quarter, McAllister landed awkwardly after catching a short pass from Drew Brees. McAllister walked off the field on his own, but having torn his right ACL in 2005, he was worried. "I just told myself to get up off the ground. One lesson I learned growing up was to never let your opponent see you hurt. Regardless of what it is, if you can walk, walk off that field," McAllister said. "Once I got to the sideline, I knew it. I didn't want to believe it, but just taking the walk to the locker room, I could feel it just kind of giving way a little bit, and that was just kind of reminiscent of how the other one felt." McAllister said there was also some damage to his medial collateral ligament. Five games into the 2005 season, McAllister tore his right ACL during a run in Green Bay. After reconstructive surgery, he returned to rush for 1,057 yards in 2006, helping the Saints to the NFC South title and starring in their playoff victory over Philadelphia. Now McAllister needs reconstructive surgery on the other knee, likely a patellar tendon graft, followed by the long, painful rehabilitation that will last almost until 2008 training camp begins, if not longer. In between, there will be an offseason, when uncomfortable reminders that the NFL is a business resurface in greater frequency. McAllister is in the third year of an eight-year, $50.1 million contract. And the Saints also have Reggie Bush, who in his second season will now be the undisputed featured running back in New Orleans for the remainder of this year, at least. Bush, who had two short touchdown runs Monday night but otherwise has struggled to find his game-breaking form this season, declined to speak with reporters Tuesday. Fullback Mike Karney, who has blocked for McAllister since 2005, choked up while talking about his teammate's latest setback. "I hugged him and started crying," Karney said, taking a deep breath. "It's tough to see a great guy, first and foremost, a great player, have to suffer another season-ending injury. He's the best I've been around. It's sad. It's hard to take I play the game for guys like him." Head coach Sean Payton said it is "way too premature to start talking about where (McAllister) is from a career standpoint." "He was able to come back off the right ACL. He's the type of guy that has the conviction and the belief," Payton said. "If he puts his mind to it, and I know he will. It's going to take a long time and he's someone who's tough enough to handle it." If McAllister leaves the Saints, he'll do so with every significant career rushing record in franchise history. He has rushed for 5,678 yards and 44 touchdowns. Royals win 9-5; White Sox fall into tie for last MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Light-hitting Tony Pena, Jr. hired and tied a career-high with four hits as the Kansas City Royals scored eight unanswered runs to beat the Chicago White Sox 9-5 on Tuesday night. Ross Gload hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to break a 5-1 tie and dump the White Sox into a last-place tie in the AL Central with the Royals. Gload added another sacrifice fly in the ninth. Pena's solo shot in the fifth inning, only his second home run of the year, started the rally. Two innings later, Conteras gave up an RBI double to Pena, who came all the way around to score when Scott Podsednik couldn't cleanly field a single by Joey Gatrighr. Paul Konerko hit a two-run double for the White Sox, who gave starter Jose Contreras a 5-1 lead that he wasn't able to hold. White Sox reliever Ehren Wassermann (0-1) gave up an infield single to Mark Grudzielanek, and Mark Teahen greeted reliever Mike Myers with an RBI single to tie the score. Gload followed with a sacrifice fly to left. ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas City Pena gave the Royals an insurance run in the eighth with an RBI-double off White Sox reliever Mike MacDougal and later scored on a wild pitch to make it 8-5. Pena scored three times and finished a triple short of the cycle. Kansas City Royals shortstop Tony Pena, Jr. watches his double, scoring Emil Brown and starting a four-run seventh inning against the Chicago White Sox, during their baseball game in Chicago on Tuesday. Kansas City beat Chicago 5-5 and are tied with them for last place in the AL Central. Brandon Duckworth (3-5) pitched two scoreless innings of relief for the victory. Contreras pitched 6 1-3 innings and gave up five runs, four earned, on six hits. He struck out three and walked one. Royals starter Brian Bannister continued to struggle late in the season. After a personal four-game winning streak, he is winless in his last four starts. Pitching with a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Bannister gave up a two-run double to Konerko, who broke out of an 0-for-1 slump. With two outs, A.J. Pierzynski blooped an RBI double down the left field line, and Podsednik drove in Pierzynski with a triple. Juan Uribe chased Bannister with an RBI infield single to give the White Sox a 5-1 lead. Gathright led off the first inning with a double. One out later. Contreras fielded Teahen's ball, and Gathright held at third base. But Contreras overthrew Konerko at first base, allowing the speedy Gathright to score. It was the shortest outing of Bannister's career. He only recorded two outs and allowed five runs and four hits.

The student will be given an opportunity to correct any mistakes made during the presentation. John Kennedv. assistant professor of political science.prepare his PowerPoint lecture for his political science class Mondav afternoon in the Dole Human Development Center. Kennedy tapes his lectures, which will be broadcast to Monadishu University in Somalia later this semester Course opens link with Somalian university KU professor posts political science lectures online, students communicate via Internet BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com Abdi Gutale wanted students at Mogadishu University in his hometown of Mogadishu, Somalia, to have the opportunity to learn about social science research methods. Gutale, a graduate student in international studies, approached John Kennedy, assistant professor of political science, about opening a link between the University of Kansas and Somalia. This fall, Kennedy's "Political Science Methods of Inquiry" class is broadcasting class lectures to Mogadishu University. Kennedy's lectures are recorded and then uploaded to the Internet where Mogadishu students can watch the lectures. Kennedy said the goal of the class was to educate Somali students on research methods so that the students could better understand and eventually research and solve problems in the region. Kennedy said this was the first time that Mogadishu University has had contact with a university in the United States. "This class is kind of contributing to a greater connection," Kennedy said. About 30 students in Kennedy's class correspond with the 10 Mogadishu students via e-mail. But that is a problematic task. Kennedy said that there were only a few places in Somalia that have Internet access, and areas that do, such as Mogadishu University, are of rather slow speed. Justin Platte, Overland Park junior, is a student in Kennedy's class. Platte is majoring in political science and hopes to go to law school. He said the class has been beneficial to him because it allows him to communicate with students from another country. "I think it's good that KU is doing this because we're keeping our international focus?" he said. In an effort to keep the class cost at a minimum, Atomic Dog Publishing donated about $1,000 worth of books to Mogadishu students. Gutale said that the class had been so well-received that more Mogadishu students want to take the class next semester. "It's slowly changing perception of education and American people," Gutale said. Kennedy said he wasn't sure if they would continue the correspondence with Mogadishu next semester. John Kennedy lectures in his political science class Monday afternoon in the Dole Human Development Center. A. R. S.

BY AMRUATA BHADKAMKAR The University Daily Kansan was not always where University of Kansas students received their daily news from. The first issue of The Kansan didn't appear until January 16, 1912, almost 46 years after the University first opened. So where did KU students go for news before The Kansan made its debut? way to the study of natural sciences. Student editors stopped publishing the Observer in 1876, and the next student-run newspaper, The Kansas University Weekly, didn't come out until 1895. According to kuhistory.com, the first student-run publication at The Kansas University Weekly focused mainly on University and community news, short stories and essays and detailed coverage of sporting events, along with a collection of light gossip and general happenings at the University. This journal received support from Snow and from the University Council, but the publication was short lived because of petty rivalries and fighting among staff members. The last issue of The Kansas University Weekly was printed on May 28, 1904. But this did not deter KU students, and the newspapers kept coming. The first Kansan version, Semi- Weekly Kansan, first appeared on campus on September 17, 1904. This was the newspaper that eventually evolved into the newspaper that is on campus today. The Semi-Weekly Kansan's first issue contained interfraternity debates, news about the upcoming football season and some local news. The Kansan's first version had gotten rid of the literature section that had been a fixture in the earlier newspapers, and it started using beat reporters. In 1912, The Semi-Weekly Kansan became The University Daily Kansan, the first college daily newspaper in Kansas, and the rest is history. the University was the Observer of Nature. This newspaper made its debut in 1874, not quite eight years after the University's formal opening in September 1866. Francis Huntington Snow, one of KU's three original faculty members and the sponsor of the University's Natural History Society, was the Observer's first advisor. Snow's guidance helped publish the newspaper's first issue on April 1. The Observer primarily featured short, scholarly essays from students and professors, and all of the articles related in some —Edited by Chris Beattie A 21-year-old KU student reported theft of an iPhone, valued at $500, near the 1000 block of Massachusetts Street. on the record The manager of Mrs. E's reported the theft of a projector from the Mrs. E's banquet room.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2007 NEWS 3A 》 DOLE INSTITUTE Officer shares Iraq experiences Doctoral student discusses progress of U.S. efforts BY COURTNEY CONDRON econdron@kansan.com Major Andrew Harvey, a University of Kansas doctoral student, spoke at the Dole Institute of Politics Wednesday night about his experiences in Iraq as a political-military intelligence officer. Harvey, who spent the duration of 2006 in Iraq, discussed the results of studies that he participated in to reveal the progress and proposed future of the country. He said that Iraq will "fracture" because its government will be too weak in the future and ethnic groups will see its constitution as inefficient. "Iraq will lack a strong government for many years," Harvey said. "It takes a long, long time." Harvey discussed the separation of Iraqi people into ethnic groups and how that affects the voting power in Iraq. He also talked about which groups wanted the United States to remain in the country and which didn't. "Iraq's problem is that they are fairly new to the idea of running a government in what we cait a democratic method," Harvey said. Harvey also importance of ing countries, especially Turkey. He talked about why the current systems of government, including the Iraqi Parliament, Kurdish Regional Government and Council of spoke about the Iraq's neighbor- "We happen to have people like Harvey on this campus that just got back," Earle said. "This is something that isn't going away. Representatives, are failing. He said the court system in Iraq was "in shambles" without written laws, and that the national police were "completely compromised."

Harvey said that even if U.S. troops could create a completely secure and stable situation in Iraq, it would take a long time for the current leaders to create a functioning system of government.

At the University, Harvey is working on his dissertation on the European Union's development of defense capability. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell STUDENT SENATE Bill to promote renewable energy policy declined energy policy defined Student Senate rejected a bill Wednesday night that would have asked Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to adopt a modern renewable energy policy for Kansas.The bill also included sending the resolution to other state leaders and media outlets. Alex Treaster, Shawnee senior and legislative director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said he wrote the legislation in order to create a stance by Student Senate on environmental issues. He cited the coal-burning power plants that have been proposed to be built in Holcomb. Treaster said although he could and would lobby without Student Senate's permission, putting a statement from Senate on paper would have raised awareness and created support for the issue. "The decision to build these coal power plants could come any day now and is really pressured," Treaster said. "I've had more interest in this issue alone than all the other issues combined from KU students." Arguments from student senators against passing the legislra tion included the potential of hindering relationships with state legislators in favor of building the coal-burning power plants and representing University students without consulting them on this issue. Michael Wade Smith, Goodland freshman and freshman senator, told Senate to reconsider representing University students before talking with them. "If we're going to really represent the students, we need to really hear from the people we represent,"Smith said. — Erin Sommer DEBATES Hillary Clinton ASSOCIATED PRESS Democratic presidential hopefuls from left.

Candidates discuss future of Iraq Democrats hesitant to promise troop withdrawl by 2013 BY BETH FOUHY ASSOCIATED PRESS HANOVER, N.H. — The leading Democratic White House hopeful conceded Wednesday night they cannot guarantee to pull all U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the end of the next presidential term in 2013. "I think it's hard to project four years from now," said Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois in the opening moments of a campaign debate in the nation's first primary state. "It is very difficult to know what we're going to be inheriting," added Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. "I cannot make that commitment," said former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina. Sensing an opening, Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut and New Mexico Gov.Bill Richardson provided the assurances the others would not. "I'll get the job done," said Dodd, while Richardson said he would make sure the troops were home by the end of his first year in office. Health care, and the drive for universal coverage, also figured prominently in the debate. "I intend to be the health care president," said Clinton, adding she can now succeed at an undertaking that defeated her in 1993 when she was first lady. But Biden said that unnamed special interests were no more willing to work with Clinton now than they were more than a decade ago. "I'm not suggesting it's Hillary's fault...It's reality," he said, carefully avoiding a personal attack on the Democrat who leads in the polls. Biden said a "lot of old stuff comes back" from past battles, adding, "when I say old stuff I mean policy. Policy" Across the stage, Clinton smiled at that. With the primary season approaching, all eight have vied with increasing intensity for the support of anti-war voters likely to provide money and organizing muscle as the campaign progresses. Moderator Tim Russert of NBC News asked about Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Guiti兰的pledge to set back Iran by eight to 10 years if it tries to gain nuclear standing. Biden flashed anger at the mention of the former New York mayor. "Rudy Giuliani doesn't know what the heck he's talking about," said Delaware senator, who is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "He's the most uninformed person on foreign policy that's now running for president." The debate unfolded in the state that has held the first presidential primary in every campaign for generations. The contest is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 22, but that is expected to change as other states maneuver for early voting position in the campaign calendar.

After eating dinner at a famed Harlem restaurant recently, O'Reilly started a controversy when he told a radio audience he "couldn't get over the fact" that there was no difference between the black-run Sylvia's and any other restaurant in New York. BY DAVID BAUDER ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWYORK—FoxNewsChannel's Bill O'Reilly said Wednesday his critics took remarks he made about a famed Harlem restaurant out of context and "fabricated a racial controversy where none exists." He criticized the liberal group Media Matters for America as "smear merchants" for publicizing statements he made on his radio show last week. O'Reilly told his radio audience that he dined with civil rights activist Al Sharpton at Sylvia recently and "couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference" between the black-run restaurant and others in New York City. O'Reilly told The Associated Press that Media Matters "cherry-picked" remarks out of a broader conversation about racial attitudes. He told listeners that his grandmother — and many other white Americans — feared blacks because they didn't know any and were swayed by violent images in black culture. "If you listened to the full hour, you was a criticism of racism on the part of white Americans who are ignorant of the fact that there is no difference between white and black anymore", he told the AP. "Cicumstances may be different in their lives but we're all Americans. Anyone who would be offended by that conversation would have to be looking to be offended." His radio show was a conversation with Fox News contributor Juan Williams, author of a book about the coarseness of some black culture. Williams defended O'Reilly during a Tuesday appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor" "It's so frustrating," Williams said. "They want to shut you up. They want to shut up anybody who has an honest discussion about race." The controversy was similar to one that enveloped presidential candidate Joe Biden last winter. When Biden praised rival Barack Obama as "articulate" and "clean," many saw this as a way of conveying these were unusual characteristics for blacks. Sylvia's manager Trenness Woods-Black told the New York Daily News that O'Reilly's remarks were "insulting" and showed he has little knowledge of the black community. Karl Frisch, spokesman for Media Matters, said it was typical for O'Reilly to criticize his group for merely reporting what he said. "We didn't call him a racist," Frisch said. "We said his comments were ignorant and racially charged and we stand by that." "This isn't about a racially insensitive remark," he said. "Anybody can listen to the unedited version of the conversation on billorell.com. You want to think I'm insensitive, you go right ahead." O'Reilly said the Williams conversation carried on more than 400 radio stations and there wasn't one complaint from a listener. The real story, he said, was about the "corrupt media culture" where outlets like CNN and MSNBC do stories about his remarks "because they're getting killed in the ratings." "The O'Reilly Factor" is seen by more people — 2.2 million average this year — than its direct competitors on MSNBC and CNN combined. MSNBC's "Countdown" with Keith Olbermann averages 721,000 viewers in the time slot while CNN's 8 p.m. show averages 611,000, according to Nielsen Media Research. NATION Highway officials request less severe bridge safety labels BY BRIAN BAKST ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. PAUL, Minn. — State highway officials around the country want A bridge is typically labeled "structurally deficient" if regular Control over the labeling system rests with Congress and the Federal Highway Administration, part of the Transportation Department. The department would not comment directly on the terms used to classify bridges' state of repair. the government to stop scaring the public by using dire-sounding phrases such as "structurally deficient" and "fracture critical" to describe bridges in need of repairs "People seem to think a bridge is within a hair's breadth of collapse when they hear these terms," Montana's chief transportation engineer Loran Frazier vented in an e-mail survey of his peers after the Interstate 35W disaster. "There seemed to be borderline hysteria regarding the bridges." In interviews and government documents obtained by The Associated Press, some engineers said the terms were making America's bridges sound shakier than they really were, and they would prefer less-alarming phrases, or perhaps a "Health Index" for the nation's spans. The issue came up after the Minneapolis bridge collapse Aug. 1 that killed 13 people. The span, along with more than 73,000 other U.S. bridges, was classified as structurally deficient, a term some engineers said sent shudders across the nation because it was widely misunderstood. inspections uncover significant deterioration such as advanced cracking in concrete or steel components. The rating often leads to weight restrictions and increased monitoring and maintenance. The term "functionally obsolete" is applied to bridges that don't meet current design standards, generally because of changing traffic demands. Bridges built decades ago, for instance, sometimes carry narrower shoulders or lower clearance than today's structures. "Fracture critical" is applied to bridges without multiple backup features, meaning that if one critical component failed, the entire structure could give way. The Interstate 35W bridge was rated both structurally deficient and fracture critical. The cause of the disaster is still under investigation. Within days of the collapse, Rehm's association polled state transportation departments about their feelings toward the labels. Transportation officials from New Hampshire to Wyoming urged adoption of new terminology. Gregory Cohen, president of the American Highway Users Alliance, an advocacy group for motorists, said he favored making the terms more understandable to the public and did not worry that a change would reduce pressure to spend more on bridges. "Of course if they do that it could always come back and bite them," Cohen said. "Say they do start describing things in flowery terms and another bridge falls down, then they'll have egg all over their face."

Larry Craig's request to withdraw his guilty plea under adswissement on Wednesday, and the Idaho Republican ne will stay in office for the time being, omitting mention of an earlier commitment to resign Sept. 30. Hennepin County Judge Charles Porter said he probably won't rule until next month on Craig's request, which stems from his earlier guilty plea in a men's room sex sting at the Minneapolis airport. "The court has not issued a ruling on my motion to withdraw my guilty plea. For now, I will continue my work in the U.S. Senate for Idaho." Craig didn't say just how long he planned to remain on the job. Senate for Idaho." Craig skipped the court hearing in Minnesota, a decision that his attorney, Billy Martin, described as routine for such a session. During the hearing, Martin acknowledged the difficulty in getting the plea withdrawn, saying it "Today was a major step in the legal effort to clear my name," Craig said in a statement. "The court has not issued a ruling on my motion to withdraw my guilty plea. For now, I will continue my work in the U.S." LARRY CRAIG Idaho senator is "near impossible, and it should be." But he said Craig's conduct was not criminal. Prosecutor Christopher Renz said the timing of Craig's decision to withdraw his guilty plea was political. Craig was arrested in a Minneapolis airport bathroom June 11, then entered his plea Aug. 8. Craig said he panicked in entering his plea. "He sat and was able to think about it a thousand miles away at his apartment on the Potomac. He called me about it" and could have called others if he needed advice, Renz said. Minnesota law allows guilty pleas to be withdrawn if a "manifest injustice" is shown. The term isn't defined in law, leaving it to judges to decide. Craig was arrested by an airport police officer who said Craig had behaved as though he was looking for sex. Craig came under intense pressure to resign after news of his arrest and guilty plea surfaced in late August, and he announced within days that he planned to resign by Sept. 30. He later suggested he might stay in office if he could overturn his plea. His attorneys pursued a dual strategy, arguing both that Craig's conduct was not criminal and that the state didn't handle the plea properly. Martin said Craig maintains he never intentionally touched airport police Sgt. Dave Karsnia, nor said anything to him. "You should have either touching, or words, or a combination of the two." Martin said. "I don't know," interjected Porter, and speculated that if he charged around the bench and ran yelling toward Martin, it would scare the attorney. "It absolutely would," Martin said, to mild laughter. Craig's attorneys also argued that the legal process wasn't properly followed, noting the plea petition didn't include a signature or any other indication a judge had accepted it. Porter directed more questions to Craig's attorneys, but his interruptions were mild and polite. Pat Hogan, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission and the prosecution team, said after the hearing that Craig knew what he was doing when he pleaded guilty and accepted culpability for his actions. He pointed out that Craig had more than eight weeks to consider his legal options from when he was arrested to when he entered his plea. "The defendant unequivocally pleaded guilty to the crime of disorderly conduct," Hogan said. Martin told reporters afterward that Craig committed no crime, but made a mistake in pleading guilty to one. "Senator Larry Craig denies that he went into that restroom for anything other than to go to the restroom," he said. Martin said that if the judge allows Craig to withdraw his plea, he will enter a not guilty plea and ask a jury to decide. The Capital Yacht Club D ASSOCIATED PRESS Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, leaves his residence at a Yacht Club in Washington, D.C., Wednesday. The first step in Craig's attempt to wipe away his guilty plea in an airport sexing had nothing to do with whether an undercover politician misunderstood Craig's actions in a bathroom stall. Instead, Wednesday's hearing was all about whether Craig's attorneys could convince the case's judge that the Idaho senator's wife was a mistake. WAR EFFORT Congress considers request to raise war funding Defense secretary asks for $190 billion to further protect troops in Iraq, Afghanistan BY ANNE FLAHERTY ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert Gates asked Congress Wednesday to approve nearly $190 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2008, increasing initial projections by more than a third. The spending request guaranteed another showdown between the Bush administration and congressional Democrats, including Sen. Robert Byrd, who declared the Appropriations Committee he chairs would not "rubber stamp" the request. Testifying before the panel, Gates said the extra money was necessary to buy vehicles that can protect troops against roadside bombs, refurbish equipment worn down by combat and consolidate U.S. bases in Iraq. A copy of the remarks was obtained in advance by The Associated Press. In February, President Bush requested $141.7 billion for the wars; officials said at the time the figure was only a rough estimate and could climb. In July, the Defense Department asked Congress for another $5.3 billion to buy 1,500 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. A group of anti-war protesters in the hearing room cheered at several points during Byrd's speech, including when the West Virginia Democrat asked Gates whether America was more secure "as a result of this massive, astronomical investment." "Considering this, I would like to close with a word about something I know we can all agree on — the honor, courage and great sense of duty we have witnessed in our troops," he added. "I know that Iraq and other difficult choices America faces in the war on terror will continue to be a source of friction within the Congress, between the Congress and the president and in the wider public debate," Gates said in prepared testimony. terproductive restrictions," Gates will tell the Senate, according to his testimony. Doing so, he added, helps the Pentagon to better manage its resources and avoid shifting money around, which often requires additional cash. Gates said Wednesday another $42 billion is needed to cover additional unforeseen requirements. The extra money includes: "I believe the answer is crystal clear. We are not!" Byrd said. - $9 billion to reconstitute equipment and technology; Wednesday's request of $42 billion takes into account Bush's decision to bring home five Army brigades by next summer, Gates said. — $11 billion to field another 7,000 MRAP vehicles in addition to the 8,000 already planned; Iraqi security forces. To date, Congress has appropriated about $450 billion for the war in Iraq, and $127 billion for Afghanistan. $1 billion to improve U.S. facilities in the region and consolidate bases in Iraq; and - $6 billion for training and equipment of troops; - $1 billion to train and equip The $190 billion total would cover war costs for the 2008 budget year, which begins Monday. Congress was on track this week to pass a stopgap spending bill that would keep the war afloat for several more weeks, giving Democrats time to figure out their next step on the war. Democrats say they plan to use the spending request as leverage Congress should approve the request as quickly as possible "and without excessive and coun- to bring troops home, although they lack a veto-proof majority to do so.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Durbin: Student employment plays a large role in the overall college experience. WWW.KANSAN.COM THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2007 PAGE 7A EDITORIAL BOARD T-shirt redesign can bring class to sporting events KU fans will be back on camera with a replacement for the "Muck Fizzou" shirts, incorporating student group input Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee proposed the creation of a T-shirt that would replace the popular "Muck Fizzou" shirts. ESPN refuses to videotape fans wearing the shirts, and the consensus of various student organizations is that a change in apparel is needed. A new shirt is long overdue. The "Muck" shirts have lost any claim on originality they previously had. The joke is less funny and so is the shirt. Not only are they juvenile, but they unite fans against another school instead of what a shirt should do—bring people together out of pride for their own university. KU's main exposure is often through televised sporting events. When our fans are seen wearing "Muck Fizzou" (and other comparable) shirts, it sends a message of tastelessness across the country. That is not an image that KU's fans should want to represent. The SAAC asked other student groups to participate in the creation of the shirt. The idea was to "create a T-shirt that is an appropriate and an accurate reflection of the student body" according to a release prepared by the SAAC for each student group. The more interesting ideas presented at the meeting were the inclusion of this year's homecoming theme, "Jayhawk Nation," on the shirt, and the building of a bonfire where students can burn their old shirts and pick up the newly-designed. obscenity-free models. Most of the groups agreed that the basketball players should be involved in their distribution. The SAAC might want to consult some students from the School of Fine Arts, as none were present at the meeting. Student Senate President Hannah Love suggested the University purchase the copyright on the slogan, making it more difficult to reproduce the shirts. The SAAC quickly acknowledged that it was not here to put anyone out of business which was a fair position. But whatever the SAAC and the other student groups decide, they are basically asking the students to dress a certain way—a new, more appropriate way. Regardless of whether it is to bring the student body closer together, to clean up the overall image or to simply get back on TV, it's asking some students to stop showing their true level of contentment with Mizzou. That in itself may present more of a problem than the general shirt change. If the new shirts are well-designed and free, the change will go over well with fans. The success of the new shirts involves the SAAC making it an inclusive process, being open to new ideas and, most importantly, positioning the change so that it doesn't come off as censorship, but as something positive for the University's image. Thus far, it has succeeded. DRAWING BOARD Dude, you ready for the game... What's with the shirt? What? It's a good shirt.

MAX RINKE LETTER TO THE EDITOR Hall Center lecturer gives valuable insight Alexander McCall Smith's work shows a different and positive side of African culture The Kansas did not run a feature on the first speech of the Hall Center Humanities Lecture Series given on Monday by internationally acclaimed author Alexander McCall Smith. I attended the event and as the Hall Center Student Scholar, had the incredible opportunity of meeting Smith. When I sat down for dinner with noted author and Hall Center lecturer Alexander McCall Smith, I had no idea what to expect. That may have been because Smith, a Scotsman, was sporting a kilt. However, it was also because I had some tricky questions about his beloved "No. 1 Ladies' Detective" series. True, I had enjoyed the series about Mma Ramotswe, a lady detective from Botswana, for all of the charm that each story possessed. However, I had felt slightly uneasy about enjoying them. The trouble was that they were just too charming. As a serious student of African literature, I am used to being torn apart by the literary products of Africa. However, his books seemed to skirt the most important issues of the continent, instead describing Botswana as what appeared to be the best place on earth. Could you really have literature about Africa that did not deal with the issues that wrack the continent? Were his solely-positive portrayals of African people almost condescending? From our discussion, Smith quickly showed that he had a huge knowledge of all of the issues that I had privately thought he had avoided in his novels. However, he was not attempting to address these issues in his books. However, my attitude towards the series quickly changed when I learned that McCall Smith holds no pretensions about his writing. He said, "I am sometimes accused of being a Utopian writer. I suppose I am." "There are too many people writing heart of darkness stories about Africa," he said. Such a positive view as Smith's is rare in writing, especially about Africa. However, for him, it is natural. I realized that Smith is an undeniable optimist, viewing the world through an incredibly positive lens. He relishes life and people and what is good in the world. And he wants to share that with his readers. In fact, Smith cited a passage in a book he had recently read that said that the most natural reaction to beauty is a desire to share it. This is entirely his method. He views beauty in the people and situations around him and wants to share it, what good there is in the world, with his millions of readers GUEST COLUMN So, in his own way, he does tell the hard stories of Africa, but they are colored by the way that he views the world. Thus, when Smith went to Botswana, he was more interested in the brave way that people keep on living day to day when situations are difficult than the difficult situations themselves. He was immediately entranced by the positive way that the people there triumph by just living and loving life, even difficult situations. Thus his "fables," as he calls them, are a tribute to Botswana, a tribute to part of the world usually only covered by negative press. It is a rare feature of literature today, but obviously an important one, as Smith's books are only becoming more popular. We can all learn from Smith's take on the world. We can all learn to cherish the small things. After an incredible lecture given by Alexander McCall Smith, I would encourage students to attend the Hall Center Lecture series where they will have a chance to encounter fascinating personalities. The next speaker, Sara Ahmed, a professor of race and cultural studies at Goldsmiths College, University of London, and the author of more than 30 articles and book chapters, and four books, including "The Cultural Politics of Emotion" and "Differences that Matter: Feminist Theory and Postmodernism," will be speaking on Oct.22 in Woodruff Auditorium.

FALETRA As I was walking back across campus to my car after work yesterday, I walked by the military building as some of the Army ROTC members came outside to lower the flag and put it away for the evening. Three of them went in sequenced order to retrieve the flag while a fourth stayed behind and simply saluted at attention as Old Glory was lowered to the soldiers below. I thought to myself how pure and simple an act like this was and yet it was incredibly moving to watch. I pondered words in my head like patriotism, brotherhood, sisterhood and unity, and thought to myself that the world would be a much better place if more pure and simple acts were recognized and appreciated. It is said that the United States was founded on ideas such as brotherhood, unity and togetherness, and yet everyday we see and hear about individuals around the world and throughout the country who are reaching out without anyone reaching back.

It is these little pure and simple acts that will make the world a better place—acts of reaching out to another individual, bringing them some peace of mind.

A day after a defiant Ahmadinejad told the United Nations General Assembly that his country would defy further U.N. Security Council efforts to impose additional penalties, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her top aides sought to marshal consensus on the move. "I am sorry to tell President Ahmedinejad that the case is not closed." said. Nicholas Burns, the State Department's No. 3 diplomat. He was to meet with senior diplomats from the five permanent Security Council members and Germany to craft elements of a new sanctions resolution. "We're going to keep going," Burns told reporters. "If Mr. Ahmadinejad thinks somehow that he has been given a pass, he is mistaken about that." "We're going to keep going. If Mr. Ahmadinejad thinks somehow that he has been given a pass, he is mistaken about that." Burns' talks over dinner with diplomats from Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany will set the stage for a second meeting on Thursday and then one between Rice and the group's other foreign ministers on Friday when the resolution is expected to be further defined. However, he said it is unlikely that the text of a new resolution will be agreed to this week. ministers of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — along with Egypt and Jordan, Rice heard deep fears about Iranian attempts to dominate the region, the official said. The United States accuses Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons, something Tehran adamantly denies NICHOLAS BURNS State Department's No. 3 diplomat As Burns spoke, Rice was assuring Iran's wary neighbors in the Persian Gulf of U.S. backing to improve their defenses against a "hegemonistic Iran" through proposed multibillion dollar arms sales, a senior State Department official told reporters. The Bush administration is in discussions with the Saudis and its other allies in the Gulf to prepare arms sales packages worth about $20 billion despite concern from some in Congress that they could destabilize the region and hurt Israeli security interests. In a meeting with the foreign and has been encouraged in recent months by stronger statements on the matter from Security Council members, notably France. Iran is already subject to two U.N. sanctions resolutions as well as a growing number of financial penalties from individual nations but China and Russia have been reluctant to agree to a new U.N. resolution. Among ideas being considered for the new resolution are widening existing financial sanctions on Iranian entities and possible diplomatic measures, officials said. ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO محمد حسین Ahmadinejad told world leaders on Tuesday his country would defy attempts to impose new sanctions by "arrogant powers" seeking to curb its nuclear program, accusing them of lying and imposing illegal penalties on his country. He said the nuclear issue was now "closed" as a political issue and Iran would pursue the monitoring of its nuclear program "through its appropriate legal path", the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks with media during a press conference in Tehran, Iran, Tuesday. Ahmadinejad said that Tehran has achieved full proficiency in the nuclear fuel cycle and warned the West that dialogue and friendship not threats were the right way to deal with Iran. BUSINESS General Motors, United Auto Workers make 'ground-breaking' agreement BY DEE-ANN DURBIN ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — General Motors Corp. won its struggle to unload $51 billion in retiree health costs and improve competitiveness in a short strike could actually improve GM's outlook because it would cut back on inventory levels. the latest round of contract talks with the United Auto Workers, but not without a short-lived strike that wrung promises out of GM to keep jobs at U.S. plants. The two sides tentatively agreed Wednesday to a ground-breaking agreement that allows GM to move its unfunded retiree health care costs into an independent trust administered by the UAW. The union also agreed to lower wages for some workers. In exchange, the UAW won commitments from GM to invest in U.S. plants, bonuses and an agreement to hire thousands of temporary workers which will boost UAW membership, according to a person who was briefed BRIGHT EYES 23 OCTOBER 2007 DIED CENTER UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 7:30 P.M.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it may raise GM's long-term debt rating, which is currently below investment grade. The union said the agreement with the nation's largest automaker was reached shortly after 3 a.m. The UAW canceled its two-day strike about an hour later and workers were back in GM's 80 U.S. facilities Wednesday afternoon. GM lost production of around 25,000 vehicles due to the strike, according to CSM Worldwide Inc. Analysts had suggested on the contract. The person requested anonymity because the details haven't been publicly released. Wall Street applauded news of the deal, sending GM shares up more than 9 percent. "We view the tentative agreement and its apparent terms as a historic milestone toward the longterm improvement in fundamentals and survival at the North American automakers," KeyBanc analyst Brett Hoselton wrote in a note to investors. The agreement is expected to set a pattern for contracts that now will be negotiated at Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC.

CRIME TOPEKA — A city worker is accused of soliciting sex while on duty as a backhoe operator, but his attorney said Wednesday that police arrested him even though he turned down the advances of an officer posing as a prostitute. John A. Murphy was among seven men, including two government employees, who were caught up in the sex sting conducted by city police Saturday. Murphy and the other government worker, Maurice White, an officer at the Shawnee County Jail, are on paid leave while their employers investigate their arrests. White was in uniform but not on duty when he was arrested. Undercover cop snags seven men in prostitution stake out White, 34, pleaded no contest Tuesday in Topeka Municipal Court to a single misdemeanor count of soliciting prostitution. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 26, and a city ordinance mandates at least 30 days in jail. Records indicate White didn't hire an attorney, and "Mr. Murphy has absolutely no criminal culpability in this case. They don't have any right to be entrapping people." ASSOCIATED PRESS DENNIS HAWVER Attorney there was no home telephone listing for him in Topeka. Murphy, 54, signed a diversion agreement Monday, meaning he won't be prosecuted if he keeps his record clean for a year, said Dennis Hawver, his attorney. Hawver said police entrapped Murphy after he stopped to make a call from a public telephone, then arrested him for what Hawver called a victimless crime. "God knows we don't have any murders or any serious crimes out there," Hawver said during a telephone interview. "It's absurd." Hawver said the undercover officer walked a half-block to meet Murphy as he was making his phone call and invited him into an alley. Murphy declined and left on his backhoe, Hawver said, but was arrested two blocks away. "Mr. Murphy has absolutely no criminal culpability in this case," Hawver said. "They don't have any right to be entrapping people." Hawwer also said Murphy will fight any attempt by the city to fire him. "All he did was stop to make a phone call." Hawyer said. Police spokeswoman Kristi Pankratz said officers were conducting a sting in which a decoy waits for men to approach her and offer her money for sex. The city will decide what action to take after its investigation, city spokesman David Bevens said. 785-864-4798 • hallcenter@ku.edu www.hallcenter.ku.edu This event is free and open to the public.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Music producer Phil Spector sits next to his attorney Linda Kenny Baden, right, after his murder trial ended in a mistrial Wednesday at the Los Angeles Superior Court. LOS ANGELES — A mistrial was declared Wednesday in the murder case against music producer Phil Spector when the jury reported for a second time that it could not reach a verdict on whether he killed actress Lana Clarkson more than four years ago. The mistrial came after months of a trial in which jurors had to decide who pulled the trigger of a revolver — leaving no fingerprints — that went off in Clarkson's mouth on early Feb. 3, 2003. The prosecution did not immediately say whether it will seek a retrial. A hearing was set for Oct. 3. The jury foreman told Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler the split was 10-2 but did not say which way the panel leaned. A week earlier, the foreman had reported a 7-5 split. Spector and his wife, Rachelle, left the courthouse shortly after the mistrial. The jury had met for about 44 hours over 12 days since getting the case Sept. 10. After the initial deadlock, the judge withdrew a jury instruction that he decided misstated the law and issued a new one giving examples of what panelists could draw from the evidence, including the possibility that Spector forced Clarkson to place the gun in her own mouth. Fidler polled the jury, and each member agreed that a unanimous decision was not possible. "At this time, I will find that the jury is unable to arrive at a verdict and declare a mistrial in this matter," the judge said. Prosecutors had charged Spector under a second-degree murder theory that did not require premeditation or intent. They called women from his past who claimed he threatened them with guns when they tried to leave his presence, and a chauffeur who testified that on the fateful morning Spector came out of his home with a gun in hand and said, "I think I killed somebody," while Clarkson's body sat slumped in a foyer chair behind him. The defense countered with a scientific case, suggesting Spector did not fire the gun and offered forensic evidence that she killed herself — either intentionally or by accident. Gunshot residue on her hands, blood spatter on his coat and the trajectory of the bullet were the subjects of weeks of testimony from experts. Spector, 67, rose to fame in the 1960s with the "Wall of Sound" recording technique, which revolutionized pop music. Clarkson starred in the 1985 cult film "Barbarian Queen." Their life stories reflected different sides of the pop culture landscape. The breadth of Spector's contributions to popular music in the 1960s and early 1970s was astounding. Early in his "At this time, I will find that the jury is unable to arrive at a verdict and declare a mistrial in this matter." career, he produced hits including "He's a Rebel" and "Be My Baby", which made pop stars of the Crystals and the Ronettes. their final album, 1970's "Let it Be". From there, he went on to produce critically acclaimed solo albums by John Lennon and George Harrison. He also co-wrote and produced the Later, after the Beatles shelved the tapes from some of their last recording sessions, he turned them into LARRY PAUL FIDLER Superior court judge Ben E. King standard "Spanish Harlem" and the Righteous Brothers "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" cited by BMI as the most-played song in the history of American radio. music industry wunderkind who struck it rich in his teens and changed the face of pop music had aged into an eccentric, reclusive millionaire with a castle in the suburbs. But by the time he met Clarkson, the Clarkson, 40, was an ambitious dreamer, a statuesque beauty who idolized Marilyn Monroe and chased fame but was beaten down by rejection. Friends testified that she was at the end of her rope financially and humiliated by having to take a hostess job at the House of Blues, where she met Spector. Jurors heard of her decision to go home with Spector for a drink after the club closed at 2 a.m. Little more than three hours later, she was dead. What happened in those three hours was never clear. Spector did not testify, and prosecutors stated no motive for him to kill her other than her apparent decision to leave the house. No prosecution forensic expert was able to place the gun in Spector's hands. But blood spatter on his coat and in his pants pockets were analyzed by prosecution experts to suggest that showed he was the shooter. Defense experts said he stood too far away to have shot her. Blood spatter, they said, can travel up to 6 feet. The defendant's changing appearance during the case was a reminder that this was a show business figure on trial. During pretrial, Spector arrived in a stretch Hummer, his hair frized out. For trial, he adopted a blond pageboy reminiscent of the early Beatles. But his wife, who said she styled his hair, later changed it to a short, tousled and darker look. The couple usually dressed in color-coordinated outfits. Spector wore long, foppish frock coats with vests, colorful shirts and ties. A diminutive figure, he always wore boots with high Cuban-style heels. Rachelle Spector wore stiletto heels, and the couple appeared to totter as they walked down the hall flanked by bodyguards. Rachele Spector, 27, whose Web site says she is a singer, songwriter and trombone player, married Spector nearly a year ago and was with him every day of the trial. >> NATION New mom gets extra test breaks to pump milk ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — A Harvard student must be allowed extra break time during her nine-hour medical licensing exam so she can pump breast milk to feed her 4-month-old daughter, a Massachusetts appeals court judge ruled Wednesday. Sophie Currier, 33, sued after the National Board of Medical Examiners turned down her request to take more than the standard 45 minutes in breaks during the exam. Currier said she risks medical complications if she does not nurse her daughter, Lea, or pump breast milk every two to three hours. A Superior Court judge last week rejected Currier's request to order the board to give her an additional 60 minutes of break time. Appeals Court Judge Gary Katzmann overturned that ruling, finding that Currier needs the break time to put her on "equal footing" with the men and non-lactating women who take the exam. "I think it's a big step for women, all nursing and working moms." Currier said. The board had cited a need to be consistent in the amount of break time given and said other nursing mothers who have taken the exam found 45 minutes sufficient. But Katzmann said that amount of break time was "insufficient" for Currier to nurse her baby, properly express breast milk, eat, drink and use the restroom over the course of the nine-hour exam. "Under either avenue, (Currier) is placed at significant disadvantage in comparison to her peers," Katzmann wrote in his 26-page ruling. The board plans to appeal, board attorney Joseph Savage said. The board, a Philadelphiabased nonprofit corporation, is responsible for administering the test, which is used by boards of medicine across the country to license physicians. MEDICINE ASSOCIATED PRESS Preliminary tests show new pill slows spread of skin cancer BARCELONA, Spain An early test of an experimental drug seemed to slow the spread of advanced deadly skin cancer in a small study, the drug's U.S. developer reported in preliminary findings Wednesday. Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. of Lexington, Mass., reported that patients with advanced melanoma who got the drug survived an average of 3.7 months without new cancer lesions, compared to 1.8 months for those who got the standard treatment. The treatment, given as a pill, is so early in development it doesn't have a name. It must pass muster in much more rigorous testing before the company seeks U.S. approval. Synta's drug is one of several in development by other companies trying a new strategy against cancer — killing tumor cells by overloading them with oxygen. "We are taking advantage of the Achilles heel of cancer cells," said Dr. Anthony Williams, vice president of clinical research at Synta Pharmaceuticals. The drug has no effect on normal cells, which can adjust to higher levels of oxygen that cause cancer cells to self-destruct. Doctors who heard the results at the European Cancer Organization meeting were heartened but said further study is needed. "This could have a profound effect on patients," said Dr. Alex Eggermont, president-elect of the European Cancer Organization and a surgical oncology professor at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Eggermont was not connected with the study. pacitaxel and lived an average of 1.8 months with no new lesions, while 53 got pacitaxel plus the new drug and survived an average of 3.7 months with no new lesions. The study followed 81 patients with advanced melanoma for about two years. Twenty-eight received the standard chemotherapy drug Less than 5 percent of patients taking the new pill suffered serious side effects, such as a temporary drop in white blood cells, back pain and fatigue. There are very few drugs available for people with advanced melanoma, which kills 70 percent of patients within one year. Globally, about 160,000 people have it. The company plans a bigger study with more than 600 patients at 150 cancer centers worldwide. S Swipe 'n' go with Beak Em Bucks!

If there is one thing that sports "professionals" should be reminded of today it would be, "You are responsible for your actions and there are consequences for your actions." These words came from former MLB umpire Steve Palermo Tuesday evening as he spoke to a crowd in the Kansas Union. He was not speaking about Barry Bonds, Michael Vick or Pacman Jones. Palermo was speaking of a man serving a 75-year sentence for shooting and paralyzing him 16 years ago. It was July 7, 1991, and Steve Palermo was enjoying dinner with friends after covering a Texas Rangers game. The party stopped when a bartender noticed two waitresses being mugged across the street. Palermo and five others, being Good Samaritans, responded to the situation by trying to break up the violent scene. Two of the muggers fled the scene in a car, while one man tried to break away on foot. Palermo and his friend Terrance Man chased the culprit on foot, caught him and tackled him to the ground. The police, although called, did not arrive soon enough. The two other muggers and their getaway driver returned for the man Palermo and his friend pinned. Shots were fired, leaving Man wounded and Palermo paralyzed. Palermo's neurosurgeon told him that he would never walk again. The man who shot him received a hefty prison sentence. After years of physical therapy, Palermo was able to walk again, with the assistance of a cane. His words shared with the crowd in the Kansas Union ranged from being a major league umpine to recovering from paralysis. He also gave inspirational words on overcoming adversity. If there was one thing Palermo revealed that should be reverberated throughout the world of sports, it would be his character. In a little over an hour, Palermo unveiled more integrity and honesty about life and sports than can be seen across sports headlines today. Whether it was in his days as one of the most respected umpires in baseball or his time spent recovering from paralysis, Palermo embodies something that is missing from many sports professionals. In today's world, it is easy to find sports professionals acting not so professional. Nearly every day we come across another story involving some sort of illegal activity on or off the field. In this past week alone, former Atlanta Falcon's Michael Vick was indicted on charges of dog fighting and San Diego Padre's Milton Bradley threw a baseball bat at umpire Mike Winters. In the past few months, NBA Hall of Famer Isaiah Thomas was involved in a sexual harassment scandal and OJ Simpson is facing 10 felony charges. SEE WHEELER ON PAGE 4B Other instances — such as Barry Bonds' alleged steroid use, NBA referee Tim Donaghy fixing games and Bill Belichick stealing other teams' plays on camera — show little regard for morals in sports today. With the millions of dollars involved in professional sports, it is easy to feel untouchable as an athlete, official or coach. Stories like Palermo's show that even if one does the right thing, the glamour and fame that come with being a sports professional can be taken away at any moment. S KAAS KANSAS KANSAS 12 KANSAS 9 Anna Faltermeyer/KANSAN Senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart goes up for a block during the first game of the match against Nebraska Wednesday night. Nebraska won the match in a three-game sweep. Kansas' record fell to 9-6 overall. Huskers dominate Jayhawks again Defending national champions show why they're best in country with 3-set victory BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com After 10 years of watching opposing teams travel to Lawrence, Kansas coach Ray Bechard conceded that Nebraska might be the best he's seen. Bechard could only watch as No. 1 Nebraska used a prolific offensive attack to sweep Kansas 3-0 (30-18, 30-24, 30-18) and spoil the return of Kansas senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart. "That's what they do." Bechard said. "They just grind you down and wear you out." return. Uhart finished with seven kills in her "I'm just glad to put this all behind me," Uhart said in the statement. Despite the loss, Uhart played her first game since Aug. 31. The Kansas Athletics Department released a statement during Wednesday's game that said Uhart missed the last 10 games to receive treatment for a "congenital defect in her heart." "That's what they do. They just grind you down and wear you out." Bechard said he was glad to have her back. "She raises everybody's level." Bechard said. "She's a great teammate." RAY BECHARD Kansas coach But the real story on Wednesday was the play of the Nebraska offense. Nebraska totaled 53 kills and made only 16 hitting errors. Nebraska junior Jordan Larson led the Huskers with 17 kills, while last year's American Coaches Volleyball Association National Player of the Year, senior Sarah Pavan, added 12. "You've got a former player of the year in Pavan," Bechard said, "and then tonight, the best player on the floor is Larson. They're very balanced and very good." SEE VOLLEYBALL ON PAGE 8B Kansas reflects on loss to Nebraska sees opportunity for improvement A sold out crowd at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center saw a team they will never forget. The Nebraska volleyball team is the No.1 team in the nation for a reason and the Jayhawks found out why Wednesday evening, Kansas lost 30-18, 30-24, 30-18 against the Cornhuskers after coming off of two Big 12 victories. The returning national champions made a case on why they can do it once again this year. They dominated the Jayhawks in every aspect of the game, including out hitting them 53 kills to 31. They found every hole that was on the other side of the floor. A big positive for the Jayhawks was the return of senior Natalie Uhart to the lineup. She helped the team in many ways during the three games including seven kills. "She raises everyone's game a level because she's a great communicator, a great competitor and a great teammate," coach Ray Bechard said. "I was very surprised with her performance. I expected there to be a lot more rust, because we weren't sure if she could come back quite this soon. She's been practicing extremely well, and today she told me she felt good and said she was ready to play." ERICA JOHNSON As long as she can stay healthy from here on out, this match will just be a bump in the road, and the Jayhawks should look to use her as one of their main weapons. With the return of Uhart, the team played without sophomore middle blocker Brittany Williams, who has played a major role for the team this year. Freshman outside hitters Jenna Kaiser and Karina Garlington provided sparks for the team, each having a couple big hits to break Nebraska's momentum at times. In game two, Kaiser had two big kills that helped bring the Hawks closer, but it wasn't enough in the end.

Gundy verbally attacked a columnist for her article about Bobbv Reid. BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy's three and a half minute long post-game tirade on Saturday hit close to home for a graduate of the University of Kansas School of Journalism. ASSOCIATED PRESS Carlson Jenni Carlson, a former University Daily Kansan columnist and sports editor, was the Carlson Carlson wrote a column, printed last Saturday in The Oklahomaan, suggesting OSU quarterback Bobby Reid was benched for his attitude and not his play. The column insinuated, through an anecdote about Reid's mother feeding him chicken near the team charter, that Reid was coddled and didn't possess the mental or physical toughness for the position. reporter on the receiving end of Gundy's rant. Gundy lashed out at Carlson at a press conference after OSU's 49-45 victory against Texas Tech. When he was finished, he stormed out of the room without taking any questions. In the clip, which can be found on YouTube, Gundy said three-fourths of the column was "fiction" and called the newspaper "garbage." On Monday, Carlson had her first chance to ask Gundy for a clarification. During the coach's Monday news conference, Carlson asked, "You contended three-fourths of that column was inaccurate; could you tell me what those factual errors were?" Gundy responded, "I don't have to." Carlson continued by saying, "Our paper has a policy of correcting errors, and I can't do that if I don't know what the errors were." so that I don't know what the errors were. "I don't have to," Gundy said again. "I'd rather just let it go."

"His inability to point to one single thing shows that not one thing in the story was wrong." KU sports, said Gundy's overreaction showed how much the coach had been spoiled by local media. 1 Keegan said Gundy's actions were "completely out of bounds." He did say, however, that he doesn't cover amateur athletes in the same way as professional athletes. "Right or wrong, my way of doing it, I am not as critical of the college athlete as a professional athlete because they aren't getting paid," Keegan said. "I'm analytical and critical of the performances, but I do it a different way." Keegan is no stranger to tongue lashings. While covering the Dodgers, Tommy Lasorda once chewed him out while, ironically, eating chicken. "I actually swallowed some of Tommy Lasardas' chicken spittle." Keegan said.

"It's good for baseball," Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "More interest, more towns involved." In 1960, the last season before expansion, the 16 major league teams drew 19.9 million fans, an average of 16,110. The Los Angeles Dodgers were the only team to top 2 million, and six teams failed to reach 1 million. With so many teams in contention, baseball will top the average attendance mark that has stood since 1994, before a disastrous $7 \frac{1}{2} -$ month strike caused a steep decrease. All those occupied seats have translated into piles of cash: Baseball estimated this week that revenue will be approximately $5.7 billion this year, an increase of $500 million. This year, 79 million or so fans will walk through big league turnstiles and the average will be about 32,700. The New York Yankees drew a team-record 4.27 million to support their $200 million payroll. The Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, Detroit, Houston, the New York Mets, Philadelphia, St. Louis, San Francisco all will top 3 million. "To think that the average club will draw over 2.6 million, it's stunning." MLB commissioner Bud Selig said this week.

He intercepted a pass two yards deep in the end zone during the fourth quarter of Saturday's game and ran 100 yards for a touchdown. Talib continues to captivate fans Football highlights at Kansas have almost always come with fine print, kind of like those weight-loss commercials. Players like Carl Nesmith, Charles Gordon and June Henley would make the occasional big play. But every time an exciting play of theirs flashed on the big screen, audiences could half expect the small letters to appear saying "Results not typical." That's how it's been for the past 10 years. No Jayhawk has been consistently spectacular. Nesmith's "Butcher's Block" fan section busted when the team went 4-7 his senior year. Gordon morphed from punt returner extraordinaire to an over-hyped has-been who elicited cheers on name recognition alone. And Henley? His off-field legal problems were more riveting than his onfield runs. Let's face it. KU football has been about as exciting as Chevy Chase's memoirs. Until now. Now, Kansas has Aqib Talib, a player with no fine print attached. He's special. Really special. He's a drive-thru-window fast, Michael Flatley-nimble scorer who loves to talk about his accomplishments. Kansas has never had a player as electrifying and entertaining as Talib. OK, anyone above the age of 60 is probably screaming Gale Sayers. But no one who's at school now saw Sayers play. When most KU students think of Sayers, they probably picture an overacting Mekhi Phifer whimpering out a tearful "I love BY MARK DENT Brian Piccolo" in the "Brian's Song" remade-for TV-flo. Sayers may be a Hall of Famer, but he wasn't as exciting as Talib. The statistics prove it. Talib's a threat to gain major yardage and score every time he touches the ball. This year, he's caught six passes as a wide receiver for an average of 28 yards per catch. He's gained more than 36 yards three times. Oh, and he has three receiving touchdowns. Talib also has two interceptions. He scored on one of them. Add up his catches and interceptions, and it comes to a total of eight touches for an average of 35 yards-per-touch and four TDs. That means Talib scores 50 percent of the time he touches the ball. Fifty percent of the time?! NFL analyst Shannon Sharpe can't even speak in complete sentences 50 percent of the time. Sayers doesn't compare. He only had 19 touchdowns his entire career. Talib is on pace to score 12 this season with plenty fewer touches than Sayers ever had. Nolan Cromwell, Tony Sands, Gordon, — name any former exciting football player — none of them scored 50 percent of the time or averaged 35 yards per touch. Sure, Talib doesn't get the ball as much as some of those guys, but his use as a special weapon makes him all the more entertaining. Fans never know when he'll line up as a wide receiver. They never know when a quarterback will make the worst decision of his life and throw to Talib's side of the field. All they know is that when one of those scenarios does happen, something exciting will follow. Take Saturday night for example. The Jayhawks looked ordinary for the first time this season. Brandon McAnderson fumbled twice. Marcus Henry caught only two passes. Raimond Pendleton played as scared as someone who's seen himself on YouTube with his intimidating coach screaming at him. The luster from previous victories was missing. Talib changed that. He intercepted a pass two-yards deep in the end zone at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Plenty of KU football players would have taken a knee and celebrated the interception. The most exciting player in KU history didn't. Talib instead sprinted for a 100-yard TD run. Talib's play gave fans a reason to get excited. Everyone left after the return. There was no reason to stay. They had just seen Aqib Talib do what he does better than any Kansas football player before him provide entertainment. — Edited by Kaitlyn Syring LIBERTY MALL accessibility info 644 Mass. 749-1912 (785) 749-1972 DEATH AT A FUNERAL (P) 4:30 7:00 9:30 LA VIE EN ROSE (PG13) 4:00 ONLY students--$5.50 Red Lyon Tavern 944 Mass.832-8228 Red Lyon Taven --- Spicy Red Wine Sauce!!

Visit the KU Career Connections Website for Information Team focuses on fundamentals, offense during bye week BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Kansas State. But one group on campus has not yet turned its focus to the Sunflower Show down — the Kansas football team — the Kansas football team. M. J. HARRISON Kansas will use the next few days to tighten up its play and work on some details before turning its attention to K-State next week, coach Mark Mangino said. The extra week leading into Big 12 Conference play will give the Jayhawks a bit of rest and an opportunity to make some additional adjustments in practice. "It's a good time for us to work on the little nuances, techniques and fundamentals that sometimes get lost during a week of gameplanning," Mangino said. "We think this is a very important week to improve our football team from that aspect." post-bye week The Kansas players took Monday off before returning to practice on Tuesday. The Jayhawks will rest on Saturday before plunging into a week's worth of frenzied media coverage and careful gameplanning. But for now, Kansas is focusing more on Lawrence than Mangino's results in games following bye weeks are mixed. In his five seasons at Kansas, the team had a week-long pardon in all but one, 2002. In 2003, the Jayhawks followed their bye week with a 50-47 overtime loss at Colorado. The next season, Oklahoma drubbed Kansas 41-10 after the Jayhawks' off week. In 2005, Kansas returned from its bye week and defeated Iowa State in overtence, clowning a bowl berth. Last season, the Jayhawks crushed K-State by 19 points after resting for a week. The post-bye week results of the last two years are an encouraging sign for Kansas fans, especially considering who K-State spent this week preparing for. The Wildcats travel to Austin, Texas, on Saturday to face the No. 7 Texas Longhorns. Texas (4-0) is one of the best teams in the Big 12 Conference and should keep K-State from worrying too much about the upcoming Sunflower Showdown. Mark Mangino's post-bye week results: 2002 No bye week 2004 2003 50-47 (OT) loss at Colorado 2005 2004 41-10 loss at Oklahoma 24-21 victory vs. Iowa State 2006 Manhattan. "We're just going to focus on some fundamentals and work out some plays to get everything touched up for the Big 12," sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said. "But for right now, we're not going to look ahead as much. We're just going to work on our offense and get some things done." 39-20 victory vs. Kansas State Edited by Meghan Murphy TEXAS 16, ANGELS 2 Sosa hits one of Rangers' five homers in game sweep ARLINGTON, Texas — Michael Young reached 200 hits for the fifth consecutive season and Sammy Sosa hit one of Texas' five home runs Wednesday in a 16-2 victory that completed a three-game sweep of AL West-champion Los Angeles. Nelson Cruz, Gerald Laird, Travis Metcalf and Hank Blalock also homered for the Rangers in their home finale. Blazock's three-run huner came in the seventh inning, right after Young had his third hit to reach his milestone. The Angels, with 92 wins, are still in the race for the American League's top record and homefield advantage through the playoffs. Boston and Cleveland, the other division leaders who played later Wednesday, both have 91 wins. Sosa hit a two-run homer in the first off Joe Saunders (8-5) that made it 3-0. It was Sosa's 21st this season and No. 609 in his career. He leads the team with 92 RBIs, even though he has started only 18 of the past 53 games. Young joined Wade Boggs and Ichiro Suzuki as the only players since 1940 with five consecutive 200-hit seasons. Boggs and Suzuki both had seven in a row, including this year for Suzuki.

On Saturday, Gundy called the editor of the article "garbage," and said the situation "makes me want to puke." Carlson responded in a frontpage Tuesday column in The Oklahoman by writing, "I will not stand on the sidelines and allow someone to attack my credibility" She also wrote, "I feel as adamant about the facts in that column as Gundy did in his belief that his player shouldn't have been so scrutinized" Carlson declined The University Daily Kansan requests for comment. In a Tuesday interview with ABC's Good Morning America, Carlson said, "It was unbelievable that this was happening. I just was really not expecting that there was going to be this sort of outrage." The Oklahoman has stood behind Carlson and the column.

K-State looks for Texas repeat ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN — Kansas State linebacker Ian Campbell isn't making any guarantees about the Wildcats' upcoming game against No. 7 Texas. He even said that K-State's upset of the Longhorns last season had almost no effect when the two teams meet Saturday in Austin, Texas. "I think those ownerships are up for year leases, because you've got to play everybody every year," he said. "So I don't think you can just say that you own anybody." Campbell played a key role in the Wildcats' 45-42 victory a year ago, recovering two second-half Conference play begin in 1996, meaning the Wildcats have the highest winning percentage of any conference school against the Big 12 South powerhouse. Oklahoma is the only other team with a winning record at 6-5. fumbles that turned into touchdowns. That victory gave K-State a 3-2 record against Texas since big 12 hoping for a shot at a repeat national championship, but instead had to watch thousands of purple-clad fans "If they feel like we took away their national championship last year, they're going to be playing with plenty of pride on Saturday." The 2006 loss was particularly stinging to the Longhorns, who were IAN CAMPBELL K-State linebacker rush the field in celebration. It ended Texas' 21-game conference winning streak and was its first regular-season loss to a Big 12 North school in seven years. year ago. Now he's focused on this year.

An injury-depleted secondary was given a chance to recover. Cornerbacks Bryan Baldwin and Ray Cheatham are both healthy again after sitting out the Missouri State game. "We are a better team than we were this time last week because we have a few more players available at some critical positions," coach Ron Prince said. "Being up to full strength on defense will help us." Prince said he wasn't offended that his Wildcats were the overwhelming underdogs again this season. "I think we'll be the underdog in most games" he said. "At least that's our mind-set. We kind of feel like that is going to be the case for a while." For defensive tackle Steven Cline, he looks at Saturday's game as another opportunity just like last year. "We beat them (last year), and they probably had their guard down." Cline said. "It just goes to show that anybody can beat anybody. We've done it, and we can do it again." KANSAN.COM Post Comments Join Discussions WHEELER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Palermo still works for MLB by supervising, evaluating and training umpires. He hopes to return one day to the baseball field to work as an umpire again. Just to give you an idea of how high of an ethical standard Palermo has, when asked about returning to umpiring high school or college games until he is healthy enough to cover a major league game, he commented, "I will not cheat the game because the game never cheated me. I will not go back until I am a 100 percent [healthful]" A man who respects the game so much that he does not want to umpire until he can accurately officiate the game of baseball for health reasons is a man needed by professional sports. Given all of the athletes who had a gift and squandered it with poor ethical standards and lack of judgment, you cannot help but root for Steve Palermo. He is a sports professional who was cheated out of his trade by a coward looking to make a few bucks off a couple waitresses. When asked by someone in the crowd about returning to the game as an umpire, he responded, "I would like to just go out and cover the game the way I used to." At the end of the day Palermo would like nothing more than to leave the game "on my terms, not the shooters," he said. For the sake of sports "professionals" today, we should hope so too. Edited by Meghan Murphy NFL NFL Despite team injuries, Rams to face Cowboys The 0-3 Rams had a multitude of safe plays last week to limit wear and tear on their quarterback, who was hurt in Week Two when the Panthers sacked him six times. The result: Bulger was sacked only once, but the Rams couldn't score in a 24-3 loss to the Buccaneers. ST. LOUIS (AP) — Though he's playing with two broken ribs, Marc Bulger has no problem with opening up the St. Louis Rams' dormant offense. Despite a wealth of talent on offense and a coach who rose from the ranks as an offensive coordinator, the Rams have scored only two touchdowns in three weeks. Coach Scott Linehan said last week he was just trying to take care of Bulger, who signed a six-year, $65 million contract extension in training camp. "I don't know if my M.O. is to play it safe, I think it's to play smart," Linehan said Wednesday. "There is a happy medium in protecting your quarterback, running the football and being aggressive. We certainly have not achieved that." Linehan and offensive coordinator Greg Olson, who calls the plays, know they need to find the right mix for the Rams to have a chance at unbeaten Dallas. "Anytime, obviously, when you're not scoring like you feel you should be, you'll second-guess what you're doing." Olson said. "You'll look at everything you're doing."

It's true Hamlin hit Petty from behind and knocked him into the wall, but what does Petty have riding on in these late-season races that brought on such road rage? He isn't part of NASCAR's Chase for the Nextel Cup championship, and he hasn't been close to a victory since the last of his eight career wins in 1995, also at Dover. Even so, the longtime stock car competitor has a lot riding on every lap the rest of this season, just like Hamlin, one of the 12 drivers in the Chase. "Right now, every race is important for everyone for different reasons," Petty said. "You can't spoil any good runs, and our team's total focus is on having good races. For us, as we're looking at it right now, this top-35 battle is going to go all the way to Homestead." Petty was talking about NASCAR's rule that assures the teams in the top 35 in car owner points earn a starting spot in each Cup race. For those outside the top 35, there are only eight spots up for grabs in qualifying each week, and one of those could automatically go to a former series champion who doesn't qualify with his time. With the end of the season looming, everyone battling to stay in the top 35 knows that the final standings of this season will carry over into the first six races of 2008. Heading into Kansas Speedway this week for the third of the 10 Chase races, Petty's No. 45 Dodge is 34th in the owner standings, 8 points behind rookie Johnny Sauter's No. 70 Chevrolet and one point in front of the No. 21 Ford driven by Ken Schrader in the transfer spot. Dave Blaney's No. 22 Toyota is 36th and 105 points out of the top-35 group, followed by Scott Riggins' No. 10 Dodge, a distant 236 points out of the all-important top group. Blaney, the highest ranked Toyota entry this season, had a disastrous experience at Dover when he failed to qualify for the race. It was the first time this season that the Bill Davis Racing driver has failed to make a lineup. Schrader had his own problems in the race, but finished 26th and gained much needed points. ASSOCIATED PRESS Blaney had a similar attitude heading into Kansas Speedway. "For us, it was a bit more about survival, if nothing else," Schrader said. "But we made up some more ground in the points in spite of everything, and we've just go to keep pushing hard." "Obviously, we need to find a way to put what happened last week in Dover behind us and concentrate on this weekend in Kansas," Blaney said. "We've been working so hard to get inside the top 35 in points, and we're disappointed that we gave so many points away last week because we really thought we could catch the No. 21. Lucky for us, everyone that we're chasing had some problems, so it's not over yet. This Caterpillar Racing team is pretty tough." 45 IMPALITES Although Blaney isn't out of contention for the 35th spot with seven races remaining, Petty's spot looks fairly secure. But the pressure remains. "There are some guys that are racing Kansas Speedway this weekend knowing it has implications for Daytona and the beginning of 2008," Petty said.

Nicklaus comes back to lead Americans to another victory Retired golfer likes to stay involved in the game BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS So it was strange to see him back as the captain, even with a mild protest from his wife. MONTREAL — Jack Nicklaus had a golf club in his hand and a gallery around him, just like old times. "I was thinking, 'Oh my gosh, how can we top 2005?'" Barbara Nicklaus said from her hotel room in Montreal, where she was getting ready for yet another opening ceremony at the Presidents Cup. "First bunker shot I've hit since May," Nicklaus cracked. He was checking up on his U.S. team at the Presidents Cup when he noticed Steve Stricker in a bunker at Royal Montreal, getting advice from assistant captain Jeff Sluman. It wasn't long before Nicklaus joined them. The last competitive shot he struck was two years ago at St. Andrews, when he holed a 15-foot birdie putt for a 72 in the British Open. So ended the career of golf's greatest champion, and he ended his retirement season on an even greater note when the Americans delivered a victory for Captain Jack in the Presidents Cup. Deep down, she knew the answer. They have been together for nearly a half-century, married a month after Nicklaus nearly won the U.S. Open as a 20-year-old amateur. One of the legendary stories about their honeymoon was Nicklaus playing Pine Valley, and his bride having to drive around the perimeter of the course because women were not allowed on the property. "He's got that little g-o-l f-thing." Mrs. Nicklaus said with a laugh. She was there for his 18 professional majors that spanned 25 seasons, for his emotional retirement at the home of golf. She has noticed the ease with which he has resisted temptation to play one more time at the Masters or his Memorial Tournament. "He's not playing anymore, although he's as happy as can be," she said. "He's probably traveling more because he's got over 60 golf courses under construction. And he's loving it. That part of his life is fulfilled. The golf part of his life ... you never get rid of that." "I don't think he misses playing," she said. "I know he misses the competition." Being captain of the Presidents Cup team helps fill that void Winning the cup never hurts. "It keeps me involved in golf," Nicklaus said after announcing his six foursome teams for the opening session Thursday. "Being captain, I had to keep up with the game. Even though I don't play, I still want to be part of the game." "I don't think he misses playing. I know he misses the competition." "It's hanging in our front hall," Mrs. Nicklaus said. "Every time we pass it, we not only think of our Jake, we think of the team, and BARBARA NICKLAUS Jack Nicklaus' wife This is the third time Nicklaus has been captain of the Presidents Cup, and the first time was a disaster. It was 1998 at Royal Melbourne in Australia, matches played close to the holidays and absence of any measurable interest by the players. They suffered the worst defeat in U.S. team history, $20\frac{1}{2} - 11\frac{1}{2}$ , and players later told Nicklaus they let him down. the world the week before Thanksgiving. They staged a strong rally on the final day to forge a tie. Then came 2005 in Virginia, where the bond between a 67-year-old icon and a dozen players was never stronger. The year began with tragedy for Nicklaus when his 17-month-old grandson, Jake Walter, drowned in a hot tub. On the eve of the final round, players presented Nicklaus an oil painting of Jake and his curly blond locks, and tears flowed from all corners. The respect was shown in 2003 in South Africa, amid concern that some players might not want to travel halfway around how precious they were to even think to do something like that." Perhaps the most grateful of his decision to return are the 12 guys playing for him at Royal Montreal. Nicklaus is a hands-off captain who lets his players be themselves and enjoy themselves. He has them write down their choices of partners, even those with whom they don't want to play, and matches them accordingly. He brings experience and mystique. Just the name "Nicklaus" inspires. "When he does speak, everyone listens because obviously he's the greatest player of all time," Tiger Woods said. "You always want to hear what he's going to say." NEED CASH? Well, not always.

Charles Howell III shared the story this week about the first team meeting outside Boston last month, when Captain Jack congratulated Zach Johnson, David Toms, Hunter Mahan, and was making his way around the room when he came to Howell, who had not finished in the top 10 since March. It's all in good fun, although Nicklaus says he can be a little quick with the tease. It's all part of the package, part of why the Americans appear to be so much more relaxed at the Presidents Cup than they are in the Ryder Cup. "Charles," he told him, "you need a lesson." And maybe that explains why they have not lost the Presidents Cup since 1998 in Australia. It begins Thursday at Royal Montreal, the oldest golf club in North America, when Stricker and Mahan play in the first alternateshot match against Adam Scott and Geoff Ogilvy. The Americans are in better form. The International team has a stronger collection of players. The intangible, again, could be Captain Jack. 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 27 2003 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2007 SPORTS 7B MLB White Sox shut out Royals, 3-0 Kansas City remains last place in AL Central standings ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO—Jim Thome hit his 505th home run and Jon Garland pitched his first shutout of the season as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-0 Wednesday night.

ASSOCIATED PRESS KICKER Vick tests positive for drugs while awaiting sentence ALEXANDRA BROWN Michael Vick tested positive for marijuana before his sentence was announced for pleading guilty to a federal dogfighting charge. ASSOCIATED PRESS BY KRISTEN GELINEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS RICHMOND, Va. — A federal judge placed tighter restrictions on Michael Vick on Wednesday after the Atlanta Falcons quarterback tested positive for marijuana. Because of the result, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson placed special conditions on Vick's release, including restricting him to his home between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. with electronic monitoring and ordering him to submit to random drug testing. The urine sample was submitted Sept. 13, according to a document by a federal probation officer that was filed in U.S. District Court on Wednesday. Vick, who has admitted bank- rolling a dogfighting operation on property he owns in Surry County in his written federal plea, is scheduled for sentencing Dec. 10. He faces up to five years in prison. The federal dogfighting case began in late April when authorities conducting a drug investigation of Vick's cousin raided the property and seized dozens of dogs, most of them pit bulls, and equipment commonly associated with dogfighting. Because Vick violated the conditions of his release, Hudson could take that into consideration during sentencing, said Linda Malone, a criminal procedure expert and Marshall-Wythe Foundation professor of law at the College of William and Mary. "Every judge considers pretty seriously if they feel that the defendant has flaunted the conditions for release", Malone said. The 27-year-old former Virginia Tech star was placed under pretrial release supervision by U.S. Magistrate Dennis Dohnal in July. The restrictions included refraining from use or unlawful possession of narcotic drugs or other controlled substances. is currently looking for healthy volunteers ages 18-49 to participate in a clinical research study involving an outpatient investigational flu vaccine. On Tuesday, Vick also was indicted on state charges of beating or killing or causing or promoting dogfighting. Each felony is punishable by up to five years in prison.

Uhart had a kill on her first point back from injury to give Kansas a 1-0 lead, but Nebraska quickly gained control of the game. Pavan provided the punch for the Huskers with six kills, while sophomore Rachel Holloway added 11 assists. Uhart and senior setter Emily Brown led Kansas with three kicks each in game one. GAMETWO Kansas gained an early lead when a Uhart block on a Pavan kill attempt put Kansas up 4-0. Kansas managed to hold on to the early lead through the first half, but after a kill from Larson tied the game at 16, the Huskers began to pull away. Larson had nine of her matchhigh 17 kills in game two and recorded the play of the match. With GAMETHREE Nebraska leading 28-24, Larson retreated back toward the baseline and unleashed a fade-away kill from 25 feet behind the net. Nebraska closed out game two, 30-24, on the next point. Nebraska cruised through game three in systematic fashion. The Huskers never trailed and closed out the match with a 30-18 win. Kansas freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser led Kansas offensively with eight kills, while sophomore setter Katie Martincich had 11 digs to lead the defense. Kaiser said that playing against Nebraska could only help Kansas, but don't expect Kaiser to want to see much more of Nebraska. "They're the best I've ever seen," Kaiser said. - Edited by Chris Beattie ore.com of Kansas Athletics ANSAS KANSAS KANSAS 18 11 9 Above: Melissa Manda, freshman defensive specialist/libero, dives for a dig during the match Wednesday night.

Sophomore middle blocker Brittany William was sidelined on Wednesday because of an injury. UP NEXT Kansas will get the weekend off, but travels to Iowa State Wednesday for a 6:30 p.m. game. JOHNSON (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "We all expected them to be good and do things well," said Kaiser. "That's exactly what we got. They are some of the best players I've competed against." Nebraska was led by Jordan Larson and last year's national player of the year Sarah Pawan who combined for 25 kills. These are two of the best players that the Jayhawks have faced this year. But as a team, the Cornhuskers worked together using their depth, and didn't make the little mistakes that the Jayhawks made, which they took full advantage of to pull out the victory in three straight games. Nebraska moved its record to 11-0 for the year, and if they keep playing like this, not even a semi truck could stop them. Playing a team like Nebraska will be good for the Jayhawks in the long run. They know what they have to do to reach that next level and become one of the top teams in the Big 12 and in the country. They just can't make the mistakes that they made. Don't worry too much. Not every team is as dominate as Nebraska. The Kansas volleyball team will look past this and continue to improve and start another winning streak for the year in hopes of making the NCAA tournament for the third time in four years. Who knows, the Jayhawks may be the team you will never forget come tourney time. - Edited by Kaitlyn Syring TOP of the HILL 2007 The Spectacle Your #1 Optometrist! Voted by KU Students!

This summer, I was lucky enough to study abroad in Spain. As I read over program information to prepare, I came across a section called 'important safety information for women'. In this section, I was warned that "men often take advantage of the common American practice of being friendly to everyone we meet," and that "the comments and gestures directed at foreign women are not typically meant to offend, but occasionally they can be vulgar and appalling." I thought to myself, I have dark hair and eyes, I'm taking longer skirts, I'm sure I'll be fine. Think again. In the course of six weeks in Spain, I was catcalled on an almost daily basis, two grown men exposed themselves to my friends and me in one night, and I had to spend a full 10 minutes explaining to a guy from Senegal that just because I had danced with him didn't mean I was his girlfriend—all in Spanish. Apparently women recieve unwanted attention worldwide. Read Ashley Thompson's story about cat calling on pg. 10 to see what some are doing to change this. Also be sure to read Nick Finnegan's story on parking, pg. 14—and learn how to avoid those nasty little slips on your windshield.

They're simply students like you and me doing something they get paid to do and trying to make their way through school at the same time. So before you start blaming them for whatever you find questionable with the department, take a step back, suck in some fresh air and put down your Louisville Slugger. As I waited in the cool lobby to bother Alan Bloomquist, Washington senior, by tagging along with him during one of his shifts out in the field, a small Asian woman walked up to the front desk, obviously heated.She had received a parking ticket and explained that she most definitely had the right to park where she did. The desk worker calmly pulled out a pamphlet containing all the information about parking zones and explained that she had, in fact, parked illegally and that she would need to pay. Still angry, the woman left with nothing but her unpaid ticket and a ding in her pride. Bloomquist showed up a few minutes later and we walked around a couple of the parking lots, finding numerous violations. As he was punching in the information for an expired meter, a hurried woman came running up just before he had finished. She explained she had been paying all morning and that she was just about to leave. Since he hadn't finished printing the ticket he had no qualms about letting her go unscathed. We continue around to various lots—one man stops us to inform Bloomquist that a girl had parked in a handicap space with a suspect handicap tag—into some of the smaller, less used spaces. After patrolling these lots for four years since coming to KU from Central Washington, Bloomquist knows when something is out of place. "It's those little things that you pick up on. All these cars here are faculty, and I see them every day. You can generally tell the difference between the student and faculty cars," he says. We talk for a while about his experiences through the years and he says that they have been pretty good. The job, he says, is probably the best one he's had because of the flexibility with his schedule. After finishing up the round and saying our good-byes I have to say that Bloomquist is a pretty nice; much nicer than all the bad things said about the so-called "parking Nazis" seemed to suggest. The Facebook group "The KU Parking Department is evil" was started by 2007 graduate Britt Burns. The group, he says, is mostly a way for members to jokingly vent about their frustration with the parking department and the parking situation on campus. Britt says that he isn't annoyed with the ticket writers themselves, but more about the way the department conducts its business. "It would be nice if the parking department tried to make student life less stressful instead of more frustrating. They are such an important and unavoidable part of KU and I wish they used their power to try to help students rather than take advantage of them," he says. Burns says the group is not intended to lash out at those in the field writing tickets, but to stand up for a change in policy that would benefit students—such as decreasing prices for parking permits—instead of hindering them. Parking and Transit director Donna Hultine has definitely seen her share of outraged students. From stories of her student ticket writers encountering hostility in the form of baseball bats to attempts of vehicular battery, she's heard it all. Although she takes responsibility overall for the department, she says that the people on the front lines end up taking the brunt of the rage. One notable instance involved a ticket writer getting backed into by an angry person trying to save their car from being towed. Luckily, the ticket writer was not seriously injured. "It takes a special person to do this job," she says. "You gotta have confidence to do it because you're vulnerable out there." Though there have been many reports of hostility inflicted upon ticket writers, Hultine says that it's more the exception than the rule. So next time you get a ticket, try not to be so mad. Sure, you might have to pay a fine and yeah, it sucks. But don't take it out on the ticket writers or front desk workers. They're just people doing their job, for better or worse. 4102537 TICKETING TERRITORIES AND THEIR TARIFFS If you *must* break the rules and park illegally,here are the different violations and what it'll cost you. Don't say you haven't been warned. EXPIRED METER: $10 EXPRISED METER: $10 This seems innocuous at first, but don't be fooled. The price is scalar in relation to the meter timer. Want to park in a 20 minute zone for a few hours? That could be up to$ 10 every 20 minutes. LOT VIOLATION/NO TAG: S20 A DAY This is the ideal choice for a violator. It's not too pricey and gives you a wide variety of spots to choose from if you're in a rush. BLOCKING/RESTRICTING FLOW: S35 Trying to parallel park your gas-guzzling SUV into a spot fit for a compact? Make sure to keep that ass near the curb and out of somebody's driveway. HANDICAP SPACE: S100 Just don't do it. They won't immediately tow your car (unless posted) but really, be nice. The only other thing to worry about is towing. The only way this happens is if a sign is posted stating such or if you owe the parking department an ass-load of money. Offenders, you out report offenders.

By Daniel Reyes D America is a country of great diversity, but that diversity ends with the handedness of a person. From household appliances to scissors and American cars, the world is not left-hand friendly. Stanley Coren, Ph.D., professor at the University of British Columbia, and author of The Le-fhander Syndrome: the Causes and Consequences of Le-fHandedness, gathered information with colleagues over the course of 20 years that shows left-handers are more likely to live shorter lives than right-handers. He offers two explanations; the first is the way the world is designed. For centuries, left-handers were deemed to be "cursed" or in league with the devil and as a result, numerous exorcisms were performed, Coren says. Even in today's intellectually and technologically advanced society, it is not uncommon to hear stories of left-handed children being forced to use their In addition, Coren says left-handers are likely to face more health issues in their lifetimes, such as asthma and eczema, as well as major issues including Graves' disease, Lupus and Type I diabetes. "The world is set up for the safety and convenience of right-handers," Coren says. "The big power tools, the ones that can kill you, have the safety switches on the right-side of the panel." "You're more than twice as likely to be left-handed if mom had difficulty delivering you or there were problems during the pregnancy." Coren says. Coren says he and his colleagues collected data pertaining to accidents at home, the workplace, during sporting events and while driving. Their results suggest left-handers do in fact die younger. The second reason has to do with a person being born left-handed. ILLUSTRATION BY CATHERINE COQUILLETTE right hands. During his grade school days in Catholic school, Neil Probst, Wichita senior, says the nuns would abide by the Church's teachings regarding lefties. "The nuns would force me to write with my right hand," Probst says. "It was painful. They slapped my hands with a ruler. They tried for a year, then they finally just gave up." What was once a nuisance to the nuns Probst last used to his advantage when it came to arm wrestling. Probst says as a kid he would start off right-handed and after his opponent won, he would ask if they wanted to try left-handed and then he would always win. Arm wrestling aside, Coren says the data collected points to some interesting educational trends. Left-handers tend to struggle when it comes to things language based, because southpaws encounter more problems with dyslexia and other reading disabilities. While in first grade, Carly Halvorson. Overland Park junior, encountered a situation similar to Probst where she was approached by a school employee who was intent on making her use her right hand. "We were practicing writing out letters and printing our names and some woman stood over me and watched me write with my left hand," Halvorson says. "She took the pencil out of my hand and stuck it in my right hand, saying it was much easier to write that way." "She told me I'd have to stay in during recess and practice with Halvorson says that every time the woman would return, the pencil would be back in her left hand. She says the woman got so frustrated she threatened Halvorson with the one thing all kids, handedness aside, can relate to. my right hand," Halvorson says. Fortunately, the woman left soon after and Halvorson's teacher told her it was all right to use her left hand. In fact, more people should want to be left-handed, because of the commonly believed myth that left-handers are smarter than right-handers. However, Coren says that myth is not necessarily true. "Although you find more left-handers that are mathematical geniuses and in fields like architecture, you still find lefthanders with low intelligence," Coren says. For Probst and Halvorson, if the attempts to convert them into right-handers had been successful, they could have been met with dire consequences. Forcing a left-hander to use his right hand can be detrimental to a lefty's health, Coren says. "You haven't turned him into a right-hander; you just turned him into a left-hander who uses his right-hand." Coren says. "Changing a kid's hand is going to set him up with a higher probability of accidents, because his reflexes with the right hand are always going to be slower than with the left hand." However, there is one lefty myth Probst says has some fact behind it. "You've got to grow up to be a pitcher." Probst says. "Righ-t handed batters have a lower batting average against lefty pitchers." If a career in the major leagues isn't in sight for all southpaws, a longer life may soon be. "Because of the research, those who design the big equipment that can kill people are starting to take into account handedness," Coren says."That's already starting to cut back on accidents." Coren says that in recent years the difference between left and right-handed accident related deaths has decreased. "it'd be nice if more of it were done faster," Coren says. "But we're on the road; things will be better. Hopefully when my young son is my age, they'll find considerably less of a difference." health JAYPLAY = 09.27.2007 IS THIS LOVE THAT I'M FEELING? MARY M. FISHER We all go through tough relationships. But when it becomes obsession,it becomes something completely different. By Jared Duncan When she was just 16, Aubrey Bascue was sure she had found the man she was going to marry. Whether she was with or without her boyfriend, he was constantly on her mind and bringing a smile to her face. "I was really happy. I thought he was the total package," says Bascue, former KU student. Those feelings of extreme joy turned to excruciating pain, though, as the couple's seven-month anniversary approached and they faced a break-up. "He was working two jobs, and then spending his free time with friends, which made me jealous," she says. "I confronted him at work and told him if he didn't spend more time with me, it was over, and he said 'it's over.' I can't believe how selfish I was." For months after the relationship, Bascue was still constantly thinking about her brief romance, thinking it would haunt her forever. While mild, Bascue may have been experiencing a condition known as limerence. "Limerence is a state where one develops obsessive, intrusive, involuntary thoughts and feelings for another person," says Al Wakin, professor of psychology at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn. Wakin and Southern Connecticut State University graduate student Duyen Vo are currently researching the condition,hoping to learn more about it and make it common knowledge. "if you go to most health care professionals and tell them that you are experiencing limerence, they'll probably have no idea what you're talking about." Wakin says. "It can happen to a seemingly happy, well-adjusted person." PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY ANNA FALTERMEIER The term "limerence" was created by psychologist Dorothy Tennov who noticed an obsessive pattern among friends and students, prompting her to pursue research on the subject. This led to the publication of her book Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love in 1979. Although Tennov passed away this year, her son, Russell Hoffman, continues to help people understand his mother's findings and thinks a lot of good can come from it. "There's a lot of hurt in the world and nobody's studying it," Hoffman says. "Having a grasp of knowing that, 'I'm not the only one feeling like this and I'll get over it,' are comforting feelings. Understanding it can relieve some of the pain." In the early stages of romance, love and limerence can be impossible to distinguish, but over time, feelings can become clear. "The difference is that love is a more unselfish feeling," Wakin says. "With limerence, a person is entirely consumed and obsessed," Vo says. "You could even say they're addicted." just psychological, but physical as well. But the characteristics aren't The most important factor in "When someone's emotionally attached, they experience heart palpitations, sweating, nervousness," Wakin says.

After time, if a person is still suspicious, they should examine the relationship and see how they feel. Those who experience limerence say that it doesn't quite deliver the high that love does, and that everything else in their life is done routinely and without enthusiasm. But how long should people wait to diagnose themselves with limerence? According to Tennov's research, the average lementer state lasts three years, with the shortest example existing a little over six months and the longest coming in at 10 years. Much research has yet to be done, but studies show that there is no correlation between limerence and age or gender. Wakin and Vo are in the midst of researching why limerence happens and what can be done to treat it, but would like people, especially students, to know that it can happen to anyone. "Though it is a troublesome issue, it can be experienced by anybody." Wakin says. "We're currently researching why that is." "I think it's also important to remember, if people feel this way, not to jump to the conclusion that it'is limerence," Vo says.

Turn out fitness centers are ideal breeding grounds for many germs that can make you sick. "It's a good environment to transfer organisms because it has many people over a short period of time using the same equipment, and they're doing a strenuous activity people over a short period of time using the same equipment, and they're doing a strenuous activity where they're perspiring and doing a lot of wiping and dripping," says Philip Tiero, associate professor of microbiology at the New York University School of Medicine. And you'll be surprised at just what nasty bacteria can lurk on your favorite machines: Tiero has found E. coli and trace sites for hepatitis A and salmonella. He says that E. coli, which is found in feces, likely gets on gym equipment because feces are present on people's hands and also because people tend to work out in as little clothing as possible, exposing areas of the body that are usually covered. The highest-risk machines are those used in quick succession by many people, such as dumbbells and certain weight machines. Although E. coli and many of the other germs Tiero has found are non-pathogenic and therefore won't make you sick, he says that 80 percent of infectious disease is transmitted by direct contact (such as kissing) and indirect contact (like touching something an infected person has touched.) "Pay attention to where your hands go, and never touch your eyes, nose or mouth until you've washed your hands," Tiero says. She says your best bet for a germ-free go at the gym is visiting in the morning when the machines are most likely to have been freshly cleaned.

Is it all in good fun, or signs of sexism? by Ashley Thompson SHOL --- KC It happens to Whitney Howell, Leawood senior, when she's jogging alone near her house in downtown Lawrence. Groups of men drive by, honking, whistling, doling out what are disguised as compliments. "Hey baby, lookin' good," is a common one she hears. One time, a car circled around the block three times in a row, each time the eager driver and passengers barking out some variation of that line. It happened to Ashley Wills, Overland Park sophomore, while on breaks from work at Hollister at the Oak Park Mall. Groups of guys, varying widely in age, would regularly hoot and holler."Nice ass," is a line Wills has almost grown accustomed to hearing when she's alone and walking past a group of men. She says over time she tried to adjust what she wore to work to try to discourage the attention, avoiding the low-cut shirts and tight pants that Hollister preferred her to wear. It wasn't very effective. And it happened to Leah Foster, CUNY law student, one New York City afternoon. It was two weeks after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks when a man several stories up in an apartment building yelled down to her. "Hey, pretty lady. You should smile. Show me that smile," he shouted. Foster ignored the comment, somewhat enraged that someone would feel compelled to tell a stranger to be happy, to look pretty for him. "Show me a pretty smile," the man yelled down again. "For all he knew, I could have lost my mom or something in the terrorist attacks," Foster says. "It had nothing to do with me. It was all about him. He was denying that I could feel feelings and that I am a person." Nearly all women have been put in similar situations. Earlier this month, I was outside my apartment at around 1 a.m. in my pajamas – an oversized maroon T-shirt and buggy shorts – taking my dog out to go pee, when a group of guys approached me. Two of them walked on by after a casual wink, but one remained. He asked to pet my dog. Then, as if there was nothing strange about it, he said; "You're lookin' fine. Could I maybe get your phone number?" I just stared at him before spewing off some reason that I had to go back inside. I don't understand. In the same tone of voice that he used to to pet my dog, this stranger had felt comfortable enough to tell me I was hot and to ask for my number. Would it have been impossible for him to mind his own business while my dog was doing his? What happened to Howell, Wills, Foster and me is called street harassment. Women encounter such catcalling on an almost daily basis, be it in big cities or in smaller towns such as Lawrence. In Laura Nielsen's 2006 book about street harassment, License to Harass, 62 percent of women she surveyed during her research said they experienced street harassment on a near daily basis. But Nielsen, a sociology professor at Northwestern University, says that the most eye-opening number is how men responded to the same question. Of those she talked to, only 13 percent of men thought that women were getting street harassed on a near daily basis. The obvious gender disconnect may well be one of the reasons catcalling continues; it's stacked up as something that comes with the territory of being a woman.In 2000, three New York City women, fed up with being hounded, formed what is now called "The Street Harassment Coalition," a New York-based organization dedicated to raising awareness of the longignored issue. Foster joined the group a couple months after its creation, motivated to retaliate after experiences like that Sept. 11 fiasco. She is now its media liaison. The coalition's goal is to get men and women talking about the issue of street harassment."We feel like we can change this. A lot of behaviors change over time or are erased from society. We feel like this can, too," Foster says. Men are essentially socialized to do this. The vast strides women have made in recent years in the workplace and in the home are remarkable, Nielsen says, but little progress has been seen in the public spheres. Because male dominance has been challenged in many arenas in modern-day society, men still seek to assert their power over women, Nielsen explains. "Male dominance is ever-present," Nielsen says. "When they feel like they' them' carry' W cater' her have wom street' creeer reinfle' simpl' 09.27.2007 JAYPLAY feature11 J initialized they women them in the carry W are, but catcath seen in her he male have ingested in women society, catcata power street reinfo explains. present," says, implify says, like STING 1 are losing power, they reassert selves. Street harassment is a power of that." while she admits that women will, too, Nielsen says that interviews and research shown her that men and men do not experience being killed the same way. The act of harassment and catcalling forces gender hierarchies, she and carries with it an oftencreat threat of violence, whether In 1998, filmmaker and social activist Maggie Hadleigh-West tried to change that with her film "War Zone." Hadleigh-West carried a hidden camera around in four big U.S.cities—New York, San Francisco, Chicago and New Orleans—and caught men in the act of street the men are aware of it or not."Men will never be able to understand what women feel like when walking alone down the streets," Nielsen says. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY LISA LIPOVAC harassment. She questioned them aggressively on-camera about their sexist comments, and allowed them to see their behavior from a woman's perspective. The Department of Defense now uses the film as a tool for teaching the U.S. military about sexism, according to Hadleigh-West's Web site, www.yomaggie.com. showing off with friends, having a good time," says Marc Kingston, Overland Park sophomore. Kingston says he does not catcall or street harass, but has been in the car when his fraternity brothers have hooped and hollered at females anywhere in the vicinity. The behavior usually has less to do with the actual woman, he says, and more to do with guys showing off in front of friends. So how do the perpetrators see their behavior without the aid of a hidden camera? "It's usually just Kyle, Wichita junior, who's not keen on admitting publicly that he catalls, says that after a night out with friends, he "woo" at more than a few women on his way home. He says he doesn't really know why he is compelled to shout out. He is not motivated by a possible reaction from the woman, he says. "It's really just for entertainment," Kyle says. "It's humorous, and I bet that sometimes it makes women feel good about themselves. You know they go home and talk about it. I'm sure there are some who enjoy it, anyway." Kyle says he has never catcalled solo. It's always in social, and frequently drunken, situations. "What fun would it be if I were alone?" he says. "I'd turn to the empty seat next to me and be like 'yeah, man...did you see that?' I don't think so." Through her work at the Street Harassment Coalition, Foster says she has found that often, men aren't even aware that what they're shouting could be considered degrading. For this reason the Street Harassment Coalition holds workshops, hoping to open the eyes of men who are self-professed catcallers. Sometimes the message gets across, but often the act is so ingrained that it's difficult to sway in the short term, she says. Similarly, women have become accustomed to dealing with it. "I just ignore it," says Audrey Fusco, Wichita graduate student. "There's not any point in caring." Howell echoes that approach. "By not reacting, that's sort of my response to them. Ignoring it is best," she says. In Lawrence, few men admitted to me to have ever catcalled before, and none ever to go on record with their full name. Most I spoke with actually said they thought it was degrading and trashy. Mitch Oswald, Effingham graduate student, says that he sees it happening even in his small Northeastern Kansas hometown. He compares the act to guys who listen to music loudly in cars with the windows down. "It's just another annoying way to get attention. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who does it is a moron." Although she sidesteps name-calling, Fusco says she wishes men would realize how ineffective and mundane the standard catcall can be. Comparatively, when she was in Italy, she and a friend were walking down a narrow road when a fishing pole with a small piece of paper attached to it dangled in front of them. They ran over to the note, which was from an unknown Italian guy above. He asked to take them to dinner. They politely declined, but did manage to snap a photo to remember the event: "I appreciated it more than the generic catcall or honking. I don't respond to that." Yet it continues, despite the apparent lack of positive reinforcements for those macho men out there. They have no real hopes of getting a purr out of the cats they're calling, Kingston says. "I think guys know there's little chance." HOLLA BACK In October 2005, a group of fed up women in New York City created "HollabackNYC" a blog where women (and men) can share their street harassment horror stories and post pictures of their perpetrators caught in the act. Turns out, the New York edition was the start of something. Sixteen cities and states now have a "Holla back" blog site, all of which share a common goal: to fight back against street harassment. No Hollaback site exists for any part of the state of Kansas. For more information, go to hallabacknyc.blogspot.com Links to the other Holla back sites are along the left side of the page. the page.

Critical Mass cyclists traditionally circle the Chi Omega fountain after meeting in front of Wescoe Beach. The next ride is tomorrow, the global movement's 15th anniversary. PHOTO BY NATHAN GILI By Nathan Gill Nearly 100 bicycles, some lacking brakes, others modified and accessorized, have gathered in front of Wesco Beach. None of their riders are wearing spandex suits. Someone is in a cow costume. Suddenly, without the sound of a gunshot or whistle, the hoard of cyclists hoot and holler its way down Jayhawk Boulevard and circle the Chi Omega fountain for a few minutes, blocking cars, before darting off campus and into Lawrence streets. Bewildered witnesses have just seen the Lawrence version of a worldwide phenomenon called Critical Mass. It's a bike movement that isn't a race or parade, but rather a demonstration of pedal power in a motor-dominated world. Malakai Edison, Lawrence senior, was a driving force in starting the ride in Lawrence two years ago. He says that for him Critical Mass is a form of political and environmental activism. "It's me taking a stance:I'm going to ride my bike instead," he says of his motor-minimalist approach to transportation. And to Edison, who's been hit by car while riding on campus, education is important. He says that two years ago he was cycling to class when a car struck him head-on in front of the Spencer Museum of Art. Edison says he wasn't injured, but that his bike was totaled. He says three of his friends were hit in the few months following the accident. Charley Berry, a Tulsa, Okla., sophomore and Critical Mass cyclist, agrees that people need more street wisdom when it According to online sources, including www.critical-mass.org and critical-mass.info, the movement first mobilized 15 years ago tomorrow in San Francisco. Since then the leaderless grass-roots movement has taken off in cities across the globe. Though Critical Mass is somewhat subversive—protest-riders scuffed with police, were maced and arrested in Minneapolis last month—Edison says that the monthly Lawrence ride is less about obstructing traffic and confronting motorists and more about awareness and education. around the University of Kansas,are not geared toward safe cycling. At the University, cyclists can be hazardous to pedestrians on sidewalks or road bumps to vehicles on comes to sharing the road. Jayhawk Boulevard. Berry says he'd only travel large streets like Iowa with a group. "I almost got hit by a negligent scooterist," Berry says. "People don't pay attention. It doesn't matter because you're a bike." Though Critical Mass rides offer cyclists safety in numbers, they create hazards of their own. For instance, stoplights can be a difficulty for Critical Mass bikers because they can break up a group that is usually on an undefined route. They sometimes run lights or halt oncoming traffic, upsetting motorists. Both Edison and Berry make the point that streets, including ones within Lawrence and "THIS IS JUST A NOVEL WAY TO CREATE SOCIAL CHANGE." But Berry says knowing the rules of the road goes both ways. He says he once got pulled over by a bike-riding policeman for running a stop sign. Though captain Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office says that Lawrence Critical Mass riders are not a problem on campus, bicyclists still must follow traffic laws. Paul Fellers, a sergeant with the Lawrence HUGH D'ANDRADE Police Department, says that breaking traffic laws can be a public danger. Hugh D'Andrade, a San Francisco artist and graphic designer who rode and publicized some of Critical Masses first rides, says he realizes that Critical Mass inconveniences motorists and sometimes breaks laws. It's not that riders want to punish motorists or feel morally superior to them. "This is just a novel way to create social change," he says. D'Andrade says that he's seen an explosion in the number of bicyclists and bicycle advocacy groups in San Francisco since Critical Mass began. Along with more bike-friendly laws, lanes and parking places in his city, he's also noticed a change in driver's attitudes. "Now motorists treat us like we exist. We're not treated like we're borrowing the street," he says. In addition to its more activist aspects, for many riders, Critical Mass is also a celebration of do-it-yourself biking. Sam Owen, Albuquerque, N.M. junior, often rides a fixed gear bicycle, a bike-type growing in popularity within bicycle subcultures. Fixed gear bikes are single speed, single gear cycles that can't coast. While in motion their pedals continuously spin and riders slow the bike by forcefully resisting the pedals. Owen says fixed gear bikes are intertwined with Critical Mass in part because they are compatible with the movement's grassroots ethics. Owen says the affordable, self-made and maintained bicycles also give riders a feeling of intimacy with the road, as the stripped-down bikes lack shock absorbers and transmit the vibration of every pothole, crack and pebble the rider encounters. "Critical Mass is not let's drive our SUV to the bike shop and buy a $2,000 bike to ride on the weekends," he says. Owen, who works at Cycle Works, 2121 Kasold Dr., says that most road bikes can be converted to have fixed gears. He says about $50 for parts and a little know-how are all that's needed for the conversion, and that the bikes are easy and cheap to maintain yourself. Critical Mass riders gather on Wescoe Beach on the last Friday of each month. The leaderless, unofficial Lawrence group posts gathering times on a Facebook group, named Critical Mass, Lawrance.

Eisley not only craft a great album, but further develop their already expansive palette. "Combinations" finds Eisley dabbling with an edgier sound while still keeping the dreamy pop landscapes from their previous work—several EPs plus their full-length debut "Room Noises" (2005). The themes of mystery, fantasy and childlike exploration are still there, but are now teamed with themes of paranoia and an emergence into adulthood. The album starts with the dark and mysterious "Many Funerals." "I Could Be There For You" is a standout track with jungle drums and cryptic lyrics from singer/keyboardist Stacy DuPree. The title track is one of the most impressive songs of the band's long career with its foreign-movie feel featuring Stacy and Sherri DuPree trading off vocals. So whether it's crafting beautiful melodies or questioning confused thoughts and euphoric happiness," "Combinations" shows Eisley's around to stay.

The director has all the finest ingredients to work with—imaginative camera work shooting proven actors in beautiful NYC—but he forgets to pick up the plot that holds all the expensive stuff together. Erica Bain (Jodie Foster) is a radio personality who hosts a show about the joys of living the New York life. But when her fiancée is beaten to death in a senseless act of violence, she turns fearful of the city she once loved. ALEXANDRA HENRY So far so good. Her paranoia leads her to buy a 9 MM and a few scenes later she finds herself in the middle of a supermarket holdup, in which she, never having fired a gun, shoots the crook square in the chest through a glass of olive oil. Hmmm. Hmmm... Somehow Bain, never a crime victim until her late forties, begins encountering about one bad guy per week, all of whom she kills. It's just all too convenient. After all, this isn't pre-Giuliani New York that we're talking about. Then it starts getting really screwy. Bain begins to address the mystery vigilante on her radio show. She befriends Mercer (Terrence Howard), who is characterized as an accomplished detective, but in all actuality needs some criminology training. When Erica loses blood in a fight at the crime scene, Mercer doesn't even go so far as to collect it, showing that the screenwriters don't live with us in the CSI era, but are stuck in "Murder She Wrote" times. It's too bad for Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard, whose solid performances still don't eclipse the other filmic elements that come together to make a product that is ultimately difficult to digest. ★★ Ian Stanford EASTERN PROMISES Eastern Promises is one unstable animal. Captivating at times, the movie unhinges itself with glaring inconsistencies that I would guess are a result of budget issues. As a mob drama, the whackings have an inherited importance. But while half of the action scenes look like the polished American History X, the other half made me think of the Kung Fu satire Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. GX56 LKJ A take on Russian A take off nausea from organized crime, the movie looks in on a powerful family whose forte is fixing the problems that it usually creates itself. The family members are all stereotypes of Russians, led by the boss Semyon (Armin Mueller-Stahl) and his son Krill (Vincent Cassel), who both take vodka with their chess. Their issue de jour is taking care of the accidental pregnancy of a prostitute, whose baby has fallen into the hands of an estrogenic midwife (Naomi Watts). Nikolai (Viggo Mortensen), the family's right hand man, is sent off to do the dirty work. Always the one for thought before action, Nikolai is somehow able to schmoose his way into Watts' heart with an accent that sounds like a non-comical Borat. But before the baby is sent down the river, Nikolai experiences a change of heart that I would've thought incapable for a former KGB Agent to have. He is also able to convince Krill to join him and turn against his father. And then, when the time is right for a coup against the manipulative Semyon... it ends. No surreptitious lamb chop poisoning or a gathering up of the reserves to help rush the mansion in what would be a brilliant tour de force victory for righteousness. Just the credits. Such an awkward ending after only 100 minutes further suggests that director David Crorenberg ran out of money. For us, a logical ending is just another promise that Eastern Promises can keep. ★★ lan Stanford do you listen to your friends BITCH+moan? do you listen to your friends BITCH+moan?

For Chris Horn, it's been one wild ride. The pews were always hard at St. Joseph's parish, but every time the congregation went to kneel, I'd put all my weight on the edge of the wooden bench so that I didn't have to rest my bony knees on the lumpy kneelers. When I was six, church not only physically hurt, it was a chore and a bore.The discomfort I felt every Sunday as a child 1984 By Chris Horn has since turned into uneasiness with religion I can't seem to shake off. My mom grew up in a German-Catholic household and was dead-set on raising her children in the same fashion. Every mass, I wondered if my dad, a pseudo practicing Southern Baptist, was thinking the same thing I was: What in the world are we doing here and when do we leave? From ages six to 12, I was more curious than religious. Every time I stepped into the sanctuary, I wondered why the cross above the altar had a replica of a dying Jesus or why the congregation would recite prayers in monotonous unison "Why do we do the sign of the cross before we get in the pew?" I always asked. "It's genuflecting,"my mom answered. "Why do we do it?" Now that I'm 21 and a little more learned, I understand the nearly 2,000-year-old hegemon of tradition that is the Catholic Church, but at age 12, these things didn't seem like worship to me. They seemed like rules "Just because." and obligations. Many of my questions went unanswered, mostly because my mom didn't know what to say nor did she have the will to find out. My mom battled with her beliefs for a couple of years until 1996, when she was saved following a passion play at a local non-denominational church and decided that my little brother and I would join her in her search for answers. We inevitably left Catholicism behind and became Southern Baptist. Whereas the Catholics in my church conformed to a hierarchy of priests and archaic dogma, I later found that Baptists conformed to each other, setting a high precedent of praise, worship and religiosity. My mom took us to a Christian store to get our new Bibles—we never took Bibles to mass—and vibran WWJD pens that we used to write sermon notes. We were on our way toward becoming what some people refer to as "Jesus freaks." The spirited singing and anonymous "Amens!" took some getting used to, but the uplifting services were completely opposite of the stoic Catholic masses I grew up with, which was a breath of fresh air. I was now a member of a church that offered answers to my meaning-of-life-and-where-do-I-fit-in-it questions, but I ultimately lacked the faith to believe what they told me. I'm sad and almost embarrassed to say that in 1999, at age 13. I rerettably forced something on myself that I didn't fully understand or believe. Amid my pastor's talk of Y2K, imminent Armageddon and eternal salvation, I naively succumbed to the subtle demands of my church and became a baptized, born-again Christian. I struggled with my decision after New Year's 2000, when there were no computer glitches, no asteroids and that made me question my faith further. no signs of Jesus. My desire to find the truth waned and I lost confidence in the church in which I was beginning to feel at home. To add to my disdain, I was in the process of fighting a more complex spiritual battle In my post-pubescent years, finding boys attractive was more than just playground curiosity. What I thought was a "I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FIGHTING A MORE COMPLEX SPIRITUAL BATTLE THAT MADE ME QUESTION MY FAITH FURTHER" phase turned out to be a reality; a reality that conflicted with what I was being taught and everything I worked to achieve spiritually. How could I justify being gay and a Chris- tian? Choice or not, I couldn't change how I felt. Fear and guilt replaced joy and reverence. My heart, mind and body were telling me one thing, while my church told me something else. "God hates sin," my dad always said. Well, did that mean God hated me? Was I destined for eternal damnation? I forfeitled my entire spiritual upbringing and to this day I don't regret it. My college experience has enlightened me intellectually, so much so that my feelings on religion evolved from a simple spiritual discourse to a complete defiance of faith-based thought. All was lost. My bible sits in a box in my closet at home. I chuckle sometimes when I see it, like when you see an awful pants you wore in the eighth grade. What in the world was I thinking as i sat there, jotting down empty words with no comprehension of what they truly meant? At the same time, I find myself riding the fence. I do believe in a higher power. From my older brother's premature death in a car accident to my mom's eviction notice and welfare situation, the traumas I have endured have assured me that there is something out there that helps us rise above situations that seem to be out of our control. I believe human beings inherently search for answers to the unknown. We can reason and debate and experiment all we like, but our existence isn't set in stone nor does it have boundaries.Some people eventually find religion, or it finds them.Others simply aren't looking.I constantly wonder what my spiritual future holds.Whether it's a Zen philosophy such as Buddhism or a more tolerant denomination of Christianity, I know that I will eventually embrace something. I still have questions, but the "just because" answers of my youth no longer satisfy me. I crave a spiritual wholeness that will only come when I take those responses to heart.

The Facilities and Operations department has added several new bike racks to campus. Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, said in an e-mail last month that high gas prices were spurring more students and faculty to ride their bikes to campus. The Center for Sustainability took suggestions from students as to where racks needed to be placed. Facilities and Operations worked with the Design and Construction Management to locate the areas where racks were needed most. "The areas we were aware of coincided with the majority of the requests," said Doug Riat, director of Facilities and Operations. Riat also said that Facilities and Operations was working on placing more racks in front of Budig Hall. He said the number of students that attend classes there daily made the current racks congested. Nate Blum, Lawrence senior, said that other areas needed more bike racks as well. "The majority of the time I can find a spot, but I have trouble at Wescoe and Budig" he said. Blum also said the University needed bike racks that were sheltered from the weather. He said he had returned to his bike only to find it wet from rain or snow. Ken Wonko, Olathe sophomore, said he also would like to see more sheltered racks on campus. "That's why I always wrap my seat in a plastic bag," he said. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring new locations Additional bike racks on campus should give students more room to park in front of several buildings. The increased gas prices brought more bikers to campus, and the Facilities and Operations department saw the need to create more racks. The department worked with students to find the best places to build the new bike racks. Doug Riat, director of the Facilities and Operations, said he wanted to put more racks in front of Budgal Hall.

ODD NEWS ODD NEWS Big baby born in Russia is twice the normal size MOSCOW — A small Russian city just got a really big addition: a 17-pound, 1 ounce baby whose mother had already delivered 11 other children. Tatiana Khalina, 42, delivered the girl by Caesarean section at a maternity clinic in Aleisk, a town of 30,000 people in the Altai region in southern Siberia, a nurse at the clinic said Thursday. Nurse Svetlana Gildeyeva also said the Sept. 17 birth went smoothly, and mother and child were fine. She said the baby, Nadezhda, was transferred from the small clinic to a maternity hospital in Barnaul, a larger city. "We have presented them with The daily Moskovsky Komsomolets quoted the local social services chief, Marina Alistarova, as saying the family had modest means.

Puppies urinate on fallen comrade's memorial ILLSBORO, Ore. — A fire hydrant painted as an American flag has been removed from a dog park after complaints it was disrespectful to let dogs use it for what dogs do. The new leash-free park was named for Hondo, a police dog killed 10 years ago chasing a suspect, and the flag-painted hydrant was intended as a tribute to him. "We put a lot of effort into it," said artist Jason Ross. However, after a photo of the hydrant appeared Sunday in The Oregonian newspaper, e-mails started arriving at the parks department. "That gallant dog must be turning in his grave at the thought of the flag being desecrated every time a dog pees on that hydrant!" wrote Louanne Douris, a retired U.S. Foreign Service officer. Corrine Bloomfield, the department's community resources manager, said the city hadn't decided where to replace the hydrant. But Tuesday night, Eargle said he was jerked from sleep by coughing and quickly ended up having to fight a blaze at his own fire station. Fire station catches fire; station barely saved BISHOPVILLE, S.C. — Firefighter Brian Eargle is accustomed to waking up to fight fires. Eargle managed to escape the fire, call for help and drive two trucks away from the burning building. He then pulled a hose from a fire truck parked outside to fight the blaze for about 10 minutes until his fellow firefighters could arrive and get their equipment on. But it could have been a lot worse. Bedenbaugh said he was glad Eargle wasn't hurt or killed and that he managed to save the vehicles from the blaze. The fire, which started in the lounge of the station, did about $30,000 in damage, Lee County Fire Chief Mike Bedenbaugh said. The State Law Enforcement Division is investigating the fire.

Hungerford, a Denver graduate student, researched the stereotypes reinforced by a permanent collection of African art at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Mo. She'll present her conclusions at an African studies conference at the University of Kansas this weekend. The University will play host to the 13th annual Mid-American Alliance for African Studies (MAAAAS) conference Friday through Sunday. Students and faculty from universities across the Midwest and several African countries will present research papers relating to the theme of the conference, "Africa in Motion." Hungerford said the theme referred to the motion of people in Africa, including migrations, politics and beliefs that form societies. Hungerford researched the African collection at the Nelson-Atkins museum and compared it to race relations and perceptions in the United States. She said the exhibit consisted mostly of older art and didn't include modern pieces that better reflect the current situation in Africa. "Ethno art exhibits reinforce the idea of Africa as primitive things that feature the past of Africa we aren't really learning about Africa today," Hungerford said. "It just reinforces stereotypes of primitive Africa; that there are no cities, there are no people learning in universities." Garth Meyers, director of the University African Studies Center and president of the conference, said the keynote speaker, Derick Moyo, deputy chief of Mission of Angela Gray, Sioux City, Iowa, graduate student, said she had been to several MAAAS conferences. She said she had presented several papers in the past. the South African, would be a highlight of the conference. He also said Brian Daldorp, associate English professor at the University, would read a poem Friday night. "It's a really good experience for graduate students to start because it's regional, not national. It's a little more low key, and it gets you used to conferences." Gray said. "Now I've done national conferences as well, but it keeps you connected to people nearby that study what you study." This weekend Gray will present research on refugee camps hosted in Zambia, specifically one in Ukwimi. She said she would talk about the creation, construction and evolution of the camp and the subsequent reactions after the camp closed. The first MAAAS conference was held at the University in 1995. Since then the University has hosted the conference every four years. Thirty-five presenters will participate in the conference.

Because of a pricing error by Pearson Education, publisher of the textbook "Public Speaking: Strategies for Success," the KU Bookstore, Jayhawk Bookstore and University Book Shop are offering a refund for the price difference. Refunds range from about $8 at the Jayhawk Bookstore to $14.32 at the KU Bookstore. Steve Rhodes, assistant director of the KU Bookstore, said the bookstore was notified by Pearson Education about the error. The store then notified the Communications Department, and the students were then informed that they had overpaid for the book. Rhodes said more than 500 books were purchased for the class from the KU Bookstore, totaling more than $7,000 in overcharges. Students who have a receipt for the textbook will be refunded, but those who didn't keep a receipt might be out the money. "There's no way other than a receipt to verify the book was bought here," Rhodes said. Mark Dietz, Overland Park senior, is a student in the class. He purchased his textbook from the Jayhawk Bookstore and didn't keep a receipt. He said he was upset about the overcharge but didn't agree that needed verify where he bought the book.

Most polls in Iowa show the Illinois senator in a tight race with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards. During a visit Wednesday to Davenport, Iowa, Michelle Obama commented on the importance of a strong showing in the caucuses. "Iowa will make the difference," she said. "If Barack doesn't win Iowa, it is just a dream. If we win Iowa then we can move to the world as it should be. And we need your help in making that happen." On Thursday, Obama's campaign said they were optimistic about winning in Iowa but didn't consider it essential. "Every campaign has said it's important to do well in Iowa, and that's our goal," said Tommy Viotor, a spokesman for Obama. Viotor said the campaign would continue, regardless of his showing in Iowa.

Rice called for a compromise that let economies grow without widening the gap between developing and developed countries. ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - President Bush's climate meeting opened Thursday with its main problem on full display: The biggest polluters industrialized and developing nations alike - say their economies are more important than global warming. Not for the richest nations, retort Europeans, the United Nations and some developing nations. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, anticipating such divisions, urged all sides to work together to "accelerate the prospects" of a U.N.-led solution later this year at talks in Bali, Indonesia. "Pitting the developed and the developing countries against each other will not lead to economic development and environmental sustainability," he said in remarks prepared for Thursday night. "We must tear down artificial barriers that impede the spread of today's clean technologies. There is no moral or economic reason for tariffs or non-tariff barriers on environmental goods or services." The U.S. talks, following on the heels of the United Nations' climate gathering Monday, is an attempt to influence what happens after 2012, when the U.N.-brokered Kyoto Protocol mandating greenhouse gas cuts by industrial nations expires. The emphasis, as with much of Bush's climate approach, is on the sharing of green technology. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called for a solution "that does not starve economies of the energy they need to grow and that does not widen the already significant income gap between developed and developing nations." But she left it to nations to set their own goals and priorities. "Let me emphasize that this is not a one-size-fits-all effort," Rice said at the start of a two-day climate meeting called by Bush. "Though united by common goals and collective responsibilities, all nations should tackle climate change in the ways that they deem best." Though the White House-led meeting includes Britain, France, Germany and other nations in the Kyoto accord, many European officials expressed concern that Bush's meeting would sidetrack the U.N. negotiations that have been the main forum for addressing global warming. Three Chicago mobsters responsible for murders 》 CRIME ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - A federal jury held three aging mobsters responsible for 10 murders Thursday after an extraordinary trial that included colorful witnesses who exposed the seedy inner workings of organized crime in Chicago. Jurors deadlocked on blame for eight other murders after eight days of deliberations in one of the biggest mob trials in the city's history. Marcello, described by prosecutors as a top leader of the Chicago Outfit, was held responsible for the June 1986 murder of Tony "The Ant" Spiltro, the Chicago mob's longtime man in Las Vegas and the inspiration for the Joe Pesi character in the movie "Casino." The defendants remained poker-faced as U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel's clerk read the verdicts one by one in a packed federal courtroom. All four men were convicted Sept. 10 of taking part in a racketeering conspiracy that included illegal gambling, extortion, loan sharking and the 18 mob murders, which had gone unsolved for decades. A fifth defendant, retired Chicago police Officer Anthony Doyle, was convicted of racketeering conspiracy but not accused of any murders. After convicting the four men, the jury began a second round of deliberations to determine whether the defendants were individually responsible for any of the 18 murders listed in the racketeering count, qualifying them for possible sentence of life in federal prison. Calabrese's defense attorney Joseph Lopez left the courthouse grumbling that there was no way to give his client a "I don't think anyone charged with a case like this can get a fair trial anywhere, because of publicity prior to trial, because of shows that they make in Hollywood "I don't think anyone charged with a case like this can get a fair trail anywhere because of publicity prior to trial." Joe Seifert said. "I never had a total picture, so I wanted the total picture — to fit all the puzzle pieces together." and because of scripts they write in Hollywood," he said. "Al Capone is probably the most famous Chicagoan we have." Lombardo, 78, accused of being the capo of a Chicago mob "street crew," was blamed for the September 1974 murder of businessman Daniel Seifert, a federal witness who was hunted down and shotgunned by masked gunmen. He said he knew Lombardo would likely spend the rest of his life in prison, but "he's had a lot of time Joe Seifert, Daniel Seifert's son, said he attended nearly all of the trial because he was a child when his father was killed. In addition to Tony Spilotro's murder, Marcello was found responsible for the death of the victim's brother, Michael. Witnesses said they were lured to a suburban basement where they were beaten and strangled at Marcello's direction. The brothers were later found buried in an Indiana cornfield. JOSEPH LOPEZ Defense Attorney free." "I just wanted some information," Calabrese, 70, a portly, bearded loan shark who according to witnesses doubled as a hit man, was found responsible for seven mob murders. Witnesses including his own brother, Nicholas Calabrese, said he strangled victims with a rope, then cut their throats to make sure they were dead. Ellen Ortiz said she had been "hoping and praying" for the day when Calabrese would be held responsible for the July 1983 murder of her husband, Richard D. Ortiz, who prosecutors say was killed because he had committed a murder not authorized by the Outfit. But she said it was a struggle to sit through the trial. "it's been very hard, very hard," she said. "It brings back all the memories." But jurors, who confessed that they were hopelessly deadlocked, did not return verdicts pinning responsibility for one other murder on Marcello and six on Calabrese. Each of the jurors was asked by Zagel whether "further deliberations by the jury could not lead to a unanimous verdict on any of the issues on which the jury is divided." They said it would be no use to go on. Get it DUNN with our new study hours! FRESH ROASTED made with better coffee!

Dress codes at some local bars are causing improperly dressed students to be denied at the door or asked to leave. BY COURTNEY CONDRON Dress codes help bars curb crowds Brian Crawford, Knoxville, Iowa, senior, said he didn't have a problem with the dress codes. "There are obvious reasons why they have them," Crawford said. "If people don't like them, they can go to a different bar." Zach Owen, Club Axis security manager, said the bar had a sign posted outside and inside the bar with all of the dress code rules, and he wouldn't let people in who didn't abide by them. In addition to the same rules as The Wheel, Club Axis doesn't allow sunglasses, doorags, large jewelry, oversized clothing, sweatpants, jerseys, other than University of Kansas jerseys during game days and several others. "We get a variety of people in here, and as long as they behave, they're fine," said Cindy Weigel, an assistant manager at Jet Lag. "We just want to make sure everyone gets home safe," Owen said. Farha said he had people thank him for asking people to either pull their pants up higher or leave. "I'll make the determination on whether it's a safety matter," Owen said. "But if it's just something funny, then it's not a problem." "The main thing is image", Farha said. "I'm just a little old- fashioned." Farha said that he didn't allow props such as golf clubs in The Wheel during a theme party as a safety concern. He also said that for Halloween they had to be able to see people's faces so he didn't allow masks. There are some bars where the rules aren't as strict. Quinton's Bar and Grill doesn't have a dress code, and Jet Lag's only rule is that people must be wearing a shirt and shoes. Owen said when people came in with props such as canes he would have people throw them in a corner and get them later. Owen said he turned someone down at least once every night because of the dress code, and that he had turned down as many as 30 people before. "Sometimes people get upset, but I just point at the dress code "If people show respect for the bar, they're less likely to cause a problem," Owen said. "I guess they just don't want certain people coming in," Seitter said. "But people should have enough respect for themselves not to have their underwear hanging out." Rachel Seitter, Olathe sophomore, said she didn't know that bars had dress codes, but that businesses lost money when they kicked others out. sign, and it's right there in black and white" Owen said.

EDITORIAL BOARD MAX RINKEL Lessons learned from Virginia Tech tragedy Potential Delaware disaster avoided by early warnings to campus, students The recent report regarding this spring's shootings at Virginia Tech has generated a new round of demands for "accountability" from the university and police officials who responded to events that day. However, given credible information and rational assumptions based on evidence, there was little those officials could have known to do differently. Last week's shootings at Delaware State University, the first such major event since the Virginia Tech incident, incorporated the lessons learned from the earlier tragedy. Most criticism of the Virginia Tech leaders' response focuses on the timeline of events. Seung Hui Cho shot two students in a residence hall, then left the campus before returning two hours later to shoot 31 more. Between the two events, critics say officials did not issue sufficient warning of the danger that still confronted students. However, given the nature of the first event, there was little reason to suspect the second event before it happened. The first shooting appeared to be a personal confrontation and the shooter had left the area. Analyzing the scene using knowledge of similar incidents, there was no indication that the response was lacking. The shooting at Delaware State had many similarities to the first half of the Virginia Tech incident. A seemingly personal crime targeted two people, then the shooter fled. However, administrators at Delaware State drew on their knowledge of what occurred at Virginia Tech and responded differently. Student notification began within 15 minutes and the entire campus was locked down. KU also has contingency plans in the event of a disaster, including mitigation, preparedness programs, notification of students and staff and facilitating third-party response units (such as police and paramedics). As a direct result of the Virginia Tech tragedy, students and staff can now receive emergency notifications on their cell phones. Students, faculty and family members who question the Virginia Tech response are demanding more from officials than can be reasonably expected. No one can predict the future; all that can be done is to respond against likely scenarios, and until the Virginia Tech shooting, the gunman's behavior was not a likely scenario. Prediction requires logic, and logic requires rationality. Few decision-makers are less rational than rogue gunmen. The recent report concedes that Cho's motives are still unknown. Without knowing motives, preemption becomes nearly impossible. This tragedy allowed Delaware State to better respond to subsequent events, but no event can be used as a case history to help guide the response to itself, and blaming anyone other than the shooter for the extent of the Virginia Tech tragedy is not a fair solution. The best that officials can do is plan a response that keeps casualties to a bare minimum. Both Delaware State in practice and KU in theory have successfully done this. Life is inherently risky, and we all play the percentages every day. Guarding against reasonable threats is prudent; guarding against every contingent is impossible. When government is perceived to "over-respond," as with some flight restrictions, the public complains of inconvenience. When an official response is seen as too lax, accountability is demanded. Instead of comparing the response to the following events, it should be compared to the knowledge possessed at the time. When judged thus, both the Virginia Tech and the Delaware State responses, though quite different, were each prudent and adequate. THE DURBIN DISPATCH Working and balancing school are a stressful, necessary parts of university life Trying to make room for college jobs CHELSEA DURBIN College jobs. Most of us have them. Some of us have them for paying rent; others have them for buying beer on Friday night. Either way, we all have to deal with the stress, the crappy pay and the short amount of time we have to spend on anything else besides work and school. But the truth is, these jobs are what make college, college. Working 40 hours a week is not something I want to do. In fact, I would much rather have more time to do laundry, go out with my friends and possibly open my math book more then once a week. However, those hours are crucial to keeping gas in my car, supplying food for my belly and paying off those parking tickets I seem to get every week. So, after school every day I rush home to throw on my work clothes, grab a bite to eat, and speed to that 40-hours-a-week job. Every day it's the same thing. I go to school, go to work and then come home and do homework; it's an endless cycle of fun, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Now, I'm not saying I don't dread going to work every day, because I do. I bitch and moan the entire way there, and often continue on once I'm in the building. Sometimes this even leads to a giant bitch-and-moan fest for everyone on staff. Nevertheless, the truth is, work for me is an escape from the high amounts of pressure I get from school. It's a place where I can take my mind off of those tests, those projects and those neverending amounts of pages I still have to read before the next class. Instead of school, I focus on mean customers, YouTube videos, and whose turn it is to the vacuum the store. I enjoy relaxing nights of angry phone calls, rock-paper-scissor championships, returns that don't belong to our store, cell phones that hate me and infinite debates on "good music." Unfortunately, this job is just a stepping stone into the "Real World," where YouTube videos won't be watched, rock-paper-scissors will not settle every problem and music won't be listened to, because we won't have time. I dread finding a non-college job. I believe we should rejoice in the fact that most of us have these time-consuming jobs that we hate, because it's never going to get this good again. Let us cherish those angry customers, that horrible minimum wage, those nights you just want pull your hair out and that afterwork beer you have with your co-workers, because in the end, it's just another day on our way to that nine-to-five job that will eventually take over our lives. College is a special time on our lives. It is a time when three hours of sleep is amazing, 25-cent Ramen noodles are a feast and when dirty laundry gets worn more then one time. It's a time for us to grow, learn and discover that although we live our lives down to every minute possible, time is on our side. So, the next time you are on your way to that time consuming, stressful, full-of-bullcrap job, smile and think to yourself, "This job makes my life a little more complicated, but it's all part of college cycle."

MOUNTAIN DEW AT MIDNIGHT When faced with mounting expenses, enjoy life Eight simple life lessons to get more beak from your buck JENNY HARTZ When first faced with a financial burden like college, many students and parents begin to feel overwhelmed. They look at the bill, take a deep breath and then begin banging their head repeatedly on the wall. After all, now the family will have to live in a shack, kick out the family dog and at least one sibling will be sold for child slave labor in a Nike factory. But fear not, for at the University of Kansas you definitely get more bang for your buck (or in our case, more beak for your buck) than you can ever imagine. That's right, boys and girls. In college, your tuition pays for more than just classes, student fees and powerful chemicals to fight off horrible odors in the dorm bathrooms; it pays for a college experience that will have you learning inside and outside the classroom. Some of the most valuable life skills won't be listed on your class syllabus (syllabus: a fancy word for Master Plan of Academic Crap meant to overwhelm you on your first day with a list of lots of projects and lessons that probably won't stay on schedule anyway. See, that's Life lesson #1: Don't get intimidated by fancy schedules; they're just for show (like Beware of Dog signs). Life lesson #2: There's no motivation without procrastination. For example, I was wondering, "How can I work up the incentive to write three long-term papers I've known about all semester?" Answer: I waited until I had three weeks left of class. Also, I didn't sleep. Life lesson #3: You can get a lot out of horrible classes besides bad grades and headaches. I've met a lot of my friends and co-workers in some of my least favorite classes. It's a great way to bond with someone by having something you both hate in common. Complaining with your fellow classmates is often the best survival skill you can use in a bad class. And that class will end eventually; nothing lasts forever. Except your GPA. Life lesson #4: Everything important will happen on the same day. All your papers will be due on the same day, that big test that's approximately 110% of your grade will be that day and also your favorite band will be in Kansas City the night before that big day. Irony is more powerful than gravity sometimes. Therefore, it's important to plan ahead, study in advance and find a way to clone yourself. Also, be extra lazy on the days when nothing happens (and don't complain about it or irony will come to bite you in the tushy with sharp, pointy assignments). Life lesson #5: Parking and enrollment are competitive sports. Get fitted for padding and a helmet now. Life lesson #6: There's no point in trying to explain to people what "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" means. Yes, there's some history behind it, but really, it's kind of sketchy sounding to me. Basically "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" means, "Hey! Our team is better than yours, and we can rhyme too!" Life lesson #7: If you later become rich and are asked by the University's alumni association to donate money, PLEASE PLEASE'PLEASE donate your money for useful things. Make a note now of all the things at campus that bother you. For example, when I'm rich and famous I will donate a 20-storey parking garage, a couple of ski lifts and then a gold statue of myself (to help "beautify campus", of course). Life Lesson #8: The youngest sibling is usually worth the most on the black market. Hartz is a Stilwell junior in creative writing.

The training included in-depth instruction on using compasses. Members of ROTC are expected to loggie school and work with all ROTC events. Jessica Crabaugh/KANSAN BY HELEN MUBARAK As a high school student, Cadet Col. Garrett Kohl was introverted and rarely willing to accept big challenges. Now Kohl, an Olathe senior who joined Air Force ROTC before his freshman year at the University of Kansas, is commander of the 280th Cadet Wing. "With ROTC, I have been forced into situations where I am given responsibilities that affect our entire detachment," Kohl said. "At this point, the pressure of being in charge isn't that big of a deal, although I am always learning how to improve my leadership." Capt. Thomas Arnold, the commanding officer of the KU Navy ROTC, oversees both the Navy and Marine programs. He said ROTC contributes to the unique atmosphere of the campus. "It brings strength to the diversity of KU," Arnold said. "They're respected for their decision to serve in the military when they graduate." As part of ROTC, cadets and midshipmen contribute to charitable organizations, represent the University at national ROTC functions and organize ceremonies for holidays and events. tion of KU students and represent a variety of opinions, majors, backgrounds and goals," Kohl said. "Cadets in ROTC are a cross-sec Although friendly competition exists between the different branches of the ROTC, Arnold stressed the importance of each branch working together. "The military today operates jointly in almost everything we do," Arnold said. "That's what we try to do here." Although they don't always know each other personally, Kohl said, students in ROTC recognized that all cadets and midshipmen chose to serve their country. However, a great deal of friendship exists between members of the same branch. "[Members of the Air Force ROTC] all go through the same training year after year together," Kohl said. "You can't help but feel camaraderie for someone who has been through it with you. Most of us are friends outside ROTC." Cadets and midshipmen involved in ROTC sacrifice much of their free time to the program. In addition to a heavier course load, members of the Navy and Air Force ROTC have early-morning physical training two days a week and members of the Army ROTC train three days a week. from Lee Summit, Mo., said physical training was the most difficult part for her. "I have to get up at 5 a.m. twice a week, and we usually run at least two or three miles and do pushups and sit-ups." Hensen said. Amy Hensen, a freshman cadet For Kohl, time management poses the biggest problem. "Not only do [cadets] have to do school work and have a job, but they're doing stuff for ROTC on top of all that and at odd hours in the day" Kohl said. "It it takes a special person," Culbertson said. "Not only are they getting a bachelor's degree, but we're Because of this extra workload and their commitment to public service, Maj. Ted Culbertson, admissions and scholarship officer for the Army ROTC, said he greatly admired students' decision to join the program. in the morning three times a week and leadership labs in the afternoon on Thursdays." --- "EXTRAORDINARY Across The Universe captured my heart.

For more information or any questions, please contact Kassandra Jones or Kris Adair at 785.371.4214 Accountability and responsibility also are major themes of ROTC. As seniors in high school, members of ROTC are asked to make a decision about their plans for the next seven to twelve years. They are required to serve in the military for varying lengths of time after they graduate. Arnold said the military required someone who has "long-range visions and goals of what they want in their lives." When a high school student is thinking about joining an ROTC program, Culbertson said parents always asked the tough questions about whether their sons and daughters would be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan. "Our answer is we don't know," Culbertson said. "It's a likely possibility. They definitely have my respect." Despite the risks, Kellen Arpke was eager to join NAVOT RC. "My grandfather was in the Air Force, and I've always liked the military," the Salina freshman said. "It's a really good job straight out of college guaranteed. Besides, I had one guy come up and say, 'Thank you for serving,' which makes me feel really good." Cadets and midshipmen in the ROTC program wear their uniforms once a week in conjunction with their leadership labs; members of the Air Force ROTC wear theirs on Tuesday, the Navy on Wednesday, and the Army on Thursday. They also wear them anytime they have a special event and when they are taking down or putting up the flags. Although Cassie Fago, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore, said students showed respect for members of the ROTC when in uniform, "a lot of people don't realize what these students are getting themselves into." "I think the ROTC is a great thing because not only are [they] trained to be a part of the military, but they're also able to attend college and get their education," Fago said. Fago's boyfriend, Lance Cpl. Jake Johnson, is serving in Iraq with the Marine Corps. Members of the ROTC also are held to a higher standard than regular students. Culbertson said military officers set the bar so students faced stricter punishments for violations such as drug use and underage drinking. Depending on the specific circumstances, a violation may result in expulsion from ROTC. Illustrating the idea that officers should be held to a higher standard, Kohl said integrity was the underlying principle in the military. "People have to be able to trust the military and those in it," Kohl said. "[Integrity] is a hard but rewarding ideal to live by." As for his personal experience, Kohl said Air Force ROTC had made a huge impact on his life. He is proud of his decision to join and is pleased with the occasional "thank you" he receives when in uniform. "Cadets care enough that they want to join the military and serve their country," Kohl said. "KU culture is ingrained in the cadets, and when we go to our assignments, we bring a lot of what we experienced at KU with us." Edited by Amelia Freidline --- SPORTS KICK THE KANSAN.

Edited by Tara Smith www.aggieathletics.com KANSAS Croker New members of the varsity rowing team will experience their first race this weekend at the Head of the Des Moines regatta. Coach Rob Catloth said the race would be a training regatta. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Season starts in Des Moines BY BRYAN WHEELER bwheeler@kansan.com The Kansas rowing team will travel to Des Moines, Iowa, this weekend to compete in the Head of the Des Moines Regatta. The race is the team's first competition of the season, and this is the first time Kansas rowing will compete in the regatta. A "head" race is a time trial in which the fastest crew is awarded the title "Head of the River." The regatta will be the first varsity race for some members. "The new varsity rowers have never sculled in a competition so we just want to see where they are fitness and technique-wise," Kara Boston, varsity senior, said. Coach Rob Catloth PETER MCKINNEY said the race was a training regatta to see Bober "In a head race, you and the clock are the biggest competitors," he said. Big 12 rival Kansas State also will be competing in the regatta, but Boston said the Wildcats wouldn't be the main competition. how the team and its new members were progressing and how it performed in a live racing situation. Tulsa and Drake, two other teams that Kansas competes against regularly, also will be at the regatta. Doing well could be an opportunity to build momentum for the season. "Placing at this regatta will give our team a positive starting point to build off of throughout the fall competitions," varsity senior Alia Bober said. After the Head of the Des Moines, the rowing team will have a month to prepare for the Head of the Iowa in Iowa City on Oct. 28. Edited by Tara Smith Kansas honored by poll rankings, talk of bowl game BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Kansas has been piling up some impressive statistics so far this season. The offense is averaging 553 yards each game and scoring almost 54 points per contest while the defense is yielding fewer than 220 yards and five points per game. In all of those categories, the Jayhawks rank in the top five Kansas received six votes in the AP Top 25 Poll, placing them 33rd. In the USA Today Top 25 Coaches' Poll, Kansas garnered 20 votes, good for a share of the 29th spot. That Kansas is receiving any attention at all from national pollsters is an improvement from years past, but the small number nationally. Unfortunately for Kansas, the dominant performance has not earned the team much notice in the polls. of votes the team has received seems out of line with its nearly perfect performance. "We just have to take care of our business, and we can't worry about right now who should be ranked and who shouldn't," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "The key thing is taking care of business. If we keep working at it and doing what we're doing, that will come." the last time kansas was ranked September 28,1996 top three songs of 1996 1. Spice Girls - "Wannabe" 2.

Impossible on TV in 1996 "The Daily Show" and "Hey Arnold" debuted "ER was the highest-rated show Are You Afraid of the Dark?" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" ended The Jayhawks have certainly taken care of business so far this season. Not only has Kansas won all of its games, Kansas has blown past its competition each week, tallying a combined score of 214-23 through four games. Despite the thrashings Kansas has delivered, a few experts have taken notice. 120" power-rankings, citing the Jayhawks easy early-season schedule as the reason for the low ranking. In ESPN.com's most recent bowl predictions, writers Mark Schlabach and Ivan Maisel both pugged the Jayhawks for the Insight Bowl. The Insight Bowl, played on New Year's Eve in Tempe, Ariz., pits the No. 6 team from the Big 12 Conference against the No. 6 team in the Big Ten Conference, meaning Kansas would most likely face a middling opponent such as Iowa or Purdue. Rivals.com ranked Kansas 38th in its "Rivals "You just have to earn it by being consistent week after week," Mangino said. "We can't control the rankings, but we can control how we play and perform each week. I think our program has to prove that we can play consistently well week after week, and if we do that we'll gain attention." But for a Kansas football program that has found national respect hard to come by in recent seasons, any attention is good attention. The last time the Jayhawks entered either the AP or coaches' top 25 poll was in 1996, when the team cracked the top 25 for three weeks. Starting Oct. 6, Kansas plays at Kansas State, hosts Baylor and visits Colorado — a string of three winnable conference games. If the Jayhawks reach 7-0, a move into the top 25 could follow. But for now, coaches and players are standing by the time-tested cliché of taking it one game at a time. TENNIS Duo selected for ITA Championships Edited by Amelia Freidline BY PAT TEFFT ptefft@kansan.com Tennis doubles partners Elizaveta Avdeeva and Edina Horvath will try to build on last weekend's success as they open play this weekend. at the ITA All-American Championships. The duo navigated a talented field to take second place in last weekend's Cissie Leary Tournament. They will face an even tougher challenge this weekend PETER HAYES Hall-Holt The ITA All-American Championships features top players from all over the country. Coach Amy Hall-Holt was pleased with the team's play last weekend, but she knew there was still room for improvement. As with the other fall tournaments, Hall-Holt sees this as an opportunity for Avdeeva and Horvath to improve their games and build more confidence to take into the spring season. Edited by Tara Smith Avdeeva, senior, and Horvath, junior, were selected for the qualifying draw of the tournament and will play early next week. The duo will need to win three matches in order to advance to the following weekend's main draw. "It's not going to be easy. They are going to face very tough competition, but we will use this as a stepping stone to see where we're at," Hall-Holt said. "There is still a lot of things we need to work on from top to bottom," Hall-Holt said. "For Liza and Edina the communication is there. They just need to keep building on what they know." In addition to doubles play, Avdeeva was also selected to participate in the singles pre-qualifying draw starting this weekend at UCLA.

PETER ROSENBERG PLAY'EM 9 9 97 BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM ASSOCIATED PRESS Quarterback Tony Romo has led the Cowboys to the NFL's second-best total offense. He is a must-start for any Fantasy Football team. Pittsburgh Defense: The Steelers enter Sunday's contest against the Cardinals allowing about eight points per game on defense. The Steelers also enter the game with the second-best overall defense in the NFL. Arizona's Matt Leinart struggled against the Baltimore defense and Edgerrin James could not get in gear in the running game all day last Sunday. After Sunday, Cardinal's coach Ken Whisenhunt said that Leinart would remain the starting quarterback, according to NFL.com. However, he obviously will struggle against one of the best defenses in the NFL. projected stats Green Bay running backs 20 carries 37 yards Play'em Randy Moss 10 catches 131 receiving yards 1 touchdown Tony Romo 24/31 342 passing yards 3 touchdowns Thomas Jones 24 carries 133 rushing yards 2 touchdowns Sit'em T.J. Houshmandzadeh 4 catches 43 yards Sit'em Jay Cutler 21/27 196 passing yards 2 Interceptions Thomas Jones, New York Jets running back; Buffalo has allowed at least 100 rushing yards to every starting running back it has faced this year. Jones is coming off his best performance of the season in a victory against Miami. Jones rushed for 110 yards on 25 carries in that game. The Bills may actually put up some offense on Sunday, but their defense will not be able to stop Jones. Randy Moss, New England wide receiver: The rejuvenated Moss has looked great in the Patriots' offense. Moss has had more than 100 receiving yards and one touchdown catch in each game so far this season. In the big Monday night game this week, the Patriots will face a Cincinnati defense that is 19th in passing defense and 29th in overall defense. Moss should burn the Cincinnati secondary all night long. Tony Romo, Dallas quarterback: Last year's season-ending mismanled field goal snap must have haunted the Cowboys quarterback throughout the off-season. Romo shows no signs of remembering that moment. He has led the Cowboys to a record of three wins and zero losses. The Cowboys' passing offense is fifth in the NFL., and their total offense is second only to the Patriots. The Cowboys will take on a victoryless Rams team on Sunday that has been decimated by injuries, and Romo should have a big day. SIT'EM Any Green Bay running back: The Packers have enough trouble figuring out who will carry the load in their backfield on any given Sunday, but this week they will face a Minnesota defense that is third in rushing defense in the NFL. Packers Brandon Jackson, DeShawn Wynn and Vernand Morency — if healthy — will be in for a long day on Sunday and should see a lot of purple helmets from a turf-level view during the game. Jay Cutler, Denver quarterback: Cutler had had mixed results so far this season. He has thrown for 795 yards, but he has also thrown four interceptions to only three touchdowns. The Broncos will face the Colts' eighth-rated passing defense on Sunday, and the young quarterback will face a tough test. Granted, the Broncos are not a pass-happy team, Cutler could have limited production on Sunday. T. J. Houshmandzadeh, Cincinnati wide receiver: The Bengals will face the NFLS top-ranked defense on Sunday. The Patriots' defense resembles a stone wall in that they let no player get by the line of scrimmage. The Patriots are second in passing defense, so the highly touted Bengals receiver might struggle. Houshmandzadeh will be under the spotlight on Monday night, but he will have a tough time getting anything going on offense. St. Louis defense: The Rams go into Dallas on Sunday to face the Cowboys, who have the second highest total offense in the NFL. The Rams failed to move the ball against the Buccaneers defense, and if they fail to do so against the Cowboys, their defense will fatigue quickly. It does not help that St. Louis has suffered so many injuries so early this year. The Cowboys should roll over a weak Rams defense. — Edited by Jeff Briscoe NFL Johnson should play Sunday despite resting sore hamstring ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Running back Larry Johnson sat out a second straight practice Thursday with a sore hamstring, a bad sign for a Kansas City offense that's scored only two touchdowns in three games. Johnson, the two-time Pro Bowler who has struggled after missing almost the entire training camp in a contract dispute, is expected to play Sunday at San Diego, coach Herm Edwards said. The guys got a sore hamstring. So we're trying to rest it." Bennett has carried only 16 times for 45 yards for the Chiefs (1-2), and has a 2.8-yard average. "It's not so bad where he can't run," Edwards said. "He's sore. What we don't want to do is put him in a position where he really hurts it." Among the Tiger faithful, Alden, 49, has always been a polarizing figure, and remains so. But on Wednesday, the man who has led Missouri's athletics department for nearly a decade signed a two-year contract extension he hopes will keep him around for the foreseeable future. With the botched firing of men's basketball coach Quin Snyder fresh in their minds, university curators met behind closed doors in March 2006 to consider getting rid of Alden. He survived — and hours later publicly introduced Mike Anderson as Snyder's successor. "I'm ready. I'm definitely ready." COLUMBIA, Mo. — Not too long ago, Missouri athletics director Mike Alden was fighting for his professional life. "We talked about this back in 1998. Missouri was a destination place for us," Alden said on football coach Gary Pinkel's weekly radio show. "We're looking forward to being here, hopefully for a long time." "It's just sore. It's not like it's pulled or anything." Bennett said. "They're just monitoring it, being safe about it." he said. "But Larry will be ready. He's just resting it and getting the treatment he needs. He was able to jog and run around good today inside our practice bubble." Johnson, who referred to his problem as "a little knickknack" on Monday, managed only 42 yards on 24 carries last week against a Minnesota defense that was stacked up at the line to stop him. With an undefeated football team ranked No. 20 nationally and an up-tempo men's basketball team that can guarantee excitement, if not a 20-win season, Alden seems content to remain in the background. Through a spokesman, he declined an AP interview request. In the meantime, Edwards denied that starting quarterback Damon Huard may be benched in favor of backup Brodie Croyle. Edwards said his remarks had been misunderstood on Tuesday when he said he had thought about putting Croyle in the game in the second half against Minnesota last week. Alden still active in Columbia BIG 12 FOOTBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS So did interim university system president Gordon Lamb, whose signature graces the contract extension that boosts Alden's guaranteed annual salary to $525,000, a $70,000 increase. Behind an offensive line which has just two players in the same position they played last year, Johnson has only 140 yards on 50 carries for an average of 2.8 yards that is far off the pace he sat while rushing for a team-record 1,789 yards in 2006. His backup, Michael Bennett, said he expected Johnson to be at full strength by Sunday. He also receives a $200,000 annual annuity, a $30,000 increase. The contract was set to expire in 2010 but now runs through 2012. Mizzou chancellor Brady Deaton, Alden's boss, said the raise and contract extension reflect the university's confidence in Alden. The latest deal is the seventh contract amendment and extension signed by Alden since his original agreement nine years ago.

The winner will have the inside track to challenging USC's conference supremacy. Panic set in at this time last season in Boulder, Colo., when the Buffalooes were 0-4 and looked destined to go victoryless all season. The mood in Boulder this year is much better because Colorado has been competitive in every game. That could change Saturday when one of the nation's best teams, Oklahoma, goes to Folsom Field. The Sooners have been dominant through four games with 33 plays gaining more than 20 yards and four running backs with rushes of more than 40 vards. CK5 Sooner running backs Allen Patrick and DeMarco Murray average 7.8 yards per carry. Colorado senior middle linebacker Jordon Dizon leads the nation with nearly 14 tackles per game. He can make tackles anywhere on the field by utilizing his quickness. He'll also blitz frequently early in the game in an attempt to rattle OU freshman quarterback Sam Bradford. KANSAS STATE (2-1) AT NO. 7 TEXAS (4-0) The Wildcats threw a knockout punch at the Longhorns national title defense last season with one of the year's biggest upsets. Kansas State beat Texas by attacking its secondary and gaining 323 yards through the air. Meanwhile, Wildcat sophomore quarterback Josh Freeman is getting progressively better. He's averaging 275 yards of total offense per game but still has an interception problem. Through three games, Freeman has thrown four interceptions as opposed to only two touchdowns. This year, the Wildcats passing offense is better and the Longhorns passing defense is worse. Texas lost almost its defensive backfield and has given up 223 passing yards per game against teams like Arkansas State and Rice. But the Longhorns know firsthand how dangerous he can be, and that's why Longhorn senior strong safety Marcus Griffin must prepare his young defensive backfield teammates for an afternoon full of deep pass attempts. NO. 5 WEST VIRGINIA (4-0) AT NO. 18 SOUTH FLORIDA (3-0) The Mountaineers have simply toyed with their four opponents so far this year. West Virginia has proven total athletic superiority by exhausting defenses for 357 rushing yards per game. The Bulls aren't going to let that happen. South Florida showed it was not afraid of West Virginia last year by limiting it to a season-low 132 rushing yards and winning in Morgantown, W.Va. Blessed with a talented and experienced defensive line, the Bulls defense has been even better this year and is ranked seventh in the nation. Massive nose tackle Allen Cray drives offensive linemen into the backfield to disrupt the running game, and speedy defensive end Patrick Selvie is one of the nation's best pass rushers. The Mountaineers will still try to run on the defense with Steve Slaton and Pat White but will have to get creative if they want to get big plays. NO. 6 CALIFORNIA (4-0) AT NO. 11 OREGON (4-0) The 54,000 fans that will fill Autzen Stadium need to stock up on concessions before the game kicks off or else they're going to miss a touchdown — or two. contest for a Pac-10 championship. The Golden Bears and the Ducks are scoring a combined 90 points per game. The offensive fireworks should be set to explode again Saturday because the team that loses this game is all but eliminated in the Duck quarterback Dennis Dixon is averaging 233 yards passing per game and 72 yards rushing per game. Not to mention he has fifteen total touchdowns and no interceptions. Golden Bear receiver DeSean Jackson has been a disappointment in the passing game with only four catches per game but is undoubtedly the nation's most dangerous kick returner. NO. 22 ALABAMA (3-1) VS. FLORIDA STATE (2-1) In 1986, the Alabama football program narrowed its search for a new head coach down to two candidates: Bobby Bowden or Bill Curry. The Crimson Tide selected Curry and the consensus since has been that it was the wrong choice. Bowden grew up an avid Crimson Tide fan and played college football at Alabama. But Florida State has been the site for his two national championships and his rise to the all-time winningest coach. For the first time since Alabama passed on Bowden, the two schools will meet at a neutral site, in jacksonville, Fla. Both teams boast great defenses. Alabama coach Nick Saban's prized recruit, freshman middle linebacker Rolando McClain, leads the team with eight tackles per game. The Seminoles have a similar hard-hitter at the position, junior Derek Nicholson.

University police said Gilbert Moye, 19, punched his roommate on the chin with a closed fist Tuesday night after an argument in their dormitory room. Moye was arrested Wednesday and released on a summons, a police spokesman said. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound strong safety from Jasper, Texas, is currently listed on the third team. An athletics department spokesman said he had no information about Move's status with the team. The arrest comes a week after two other reserve defenders for Missouri (4-0) were arrested by Columbia police in separate incidents John Stuli, a redshirt freshman and defensive lineman, was arrested on a municipal assault charge in connection with a fight at a South Columbia restaurant. He was suspended from Missouri's most recent game against Illinois State. Steve Redmond, a junior and backup linebacker, was also arrested last week on suspicion of throwing a nuisance party at his home. --- Associated Press THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2007 CLASSIFIEDS 5B KANSANCLASSIFIEDS STUFF JOBS LOST & FOUND ROOMMATE/ SUBLEASE PHONE 785.864.4358 SERVICES CHILD CARE HAWKCHALK.COM 3 AUTO 2001 Mazda Miata.

Teams back on course Saturday CROSS COUNTRY BY TYLER PASSMORE tpassmore@kansan.com The stakes and importance will be the highest they have been this season when the University of Kansas men's and women's cross country teams step foot on the course for the first time in two weeks on Saturday. The Jayhawks travel to Minneapolis, Minn., to compete in the Roy Griak Invitational. This will mark the toughest competition the Jayhawks will have faced this year because seven of the top 15 teams in the Midwest will be competing. Among those teams are names like Arizona State, Iowa State, Kansas State, Michigan State, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma. The men's team will be led once again by All-American senior Colby Wissel. Wissel is 100 percent on this season, winning both of his first two events. Last year, he put up an inspiring performance, finishing ninth overall. Another strong finish last year came from the other All-American senior Paul Hefferon. Hefferon did not run for the men's team in Manhattan and should have the rest needed to help get a victory. A second key component will be on the legs of sophomore Bret Imgmore Imgrund has run well in the first two events of the year, and expectations continue to rise among Imgrind and the media. M Imgrund The men's team received votes to be in the U.S. Track & Field Coaches Association PoI this week, and that can only help the team confidence as they depart for Minnesota. The women's team wants to build off its youth's production and avenge a loss in its last outing. The women will take the field Saturday with three seniors at the reign, but it may be an underclassman that will be the missing ingredient. Sophomore Lauren Bonds will run again this Saturday. She had a very strong performance at the season opener. Facing the tough competition this week, the women will need to make a team effort to finish in the top 10. With the underclassmen stepping up and the trio of seniors pushing the tempo, the women will create a stir this weekend when they toe the line at 12:50 p.m. The gun will sound Saturday for the men at 12:10. They go into the meet 2-0, as the women just missed that mark, entering 1-1. This meet also will be the first NCAA Championships qualifier of the year. - Edited by Kaitlyn Syring race info >> **Gold Mens** iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma. >> **Gold Women's** iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma.

Britt Beasley WORLD CUP Goalie dispute inflames big loss BY STEPHEN WADE ASSOCIATED PRESS HANGZHOU, China — The way Brazil and sensational striker Marta played, it didn't matter who was in goal for the United States. The Brazilians will play in their first final Sunday against defending champion Germany. Marta scored two goals and the Brazilians put on a dazzling display of soccer Thursday, outstulting the Americans at nearly every turn to cruise to a 4-0 victory in the Women's World Cup semifinals. Ryan defended his decision and Scurry, who made her 164th appearance for the United States. "It was the wrong decision, and I think anybody that knows anything about the game knows that," Solo said. "There's no doubt in my mind I would have made those movies. ... You can live in the present. And you can't live by big names. You can't live in the past." "If you asked me how I do that, I can't explain," Marta said, even after watching TV replays of her goals. "Things happen very quickly during the match, and afterward I start thinking: 'How do I do that?' Ryan might have been right. The Brazilians attacked from the start, and the Americans were unable to keep pace as they saw their 51-match unbeaten streak end with their worst loss in a World Cup match. That's what American goalie Hope Solo was asking. Angry she was replaced for the critical game in favor of veteran Briana Scurro, Sally lashed out at U.S. coach Greg Ryan. "I don't have any regrets about that," he said. "I think Bri played a great game." The U.S. will play Norway for third place Sunday. He stressed that he didn't think the switch affected the game. The opening score came on an own-goal in the 20th minute, when American defender Leslie Osborne headed a corner behind Scurry. Lucky or not, the Brazilians were off and running and proved to be better in every facet: clever triangulated passes, counterattacks, audacious moves and blistering shots. "The they played like a team," American striker Abby Wambach said. "I've never seen them play so well. They brought all of their heart and all of their soccer to the table." The United States won titles in '91 and '99 with Norway winning in '95 and Germany in '03. But Brazil, which spends little on the women's game, has the edge in pure skill, backed by world soccer's deepest pool of talent. "We haven't let up with the women's program," said Sunil Gulati, president of the United States Soccer Federation. "If anything we have accelerated everything." "We are not where we were 10 years ago. It's not because we are not better, it's because everyone else is investing in the game."
