The 22 students who participated in the 5K had the option of either wearing ribbons in honor of certain soldiers, or groups of soldiers that they wanted to honor. They also asked family and friends to donate to the fund along with donating themselves. After the run, which replaced one of their 6 a.m. weekly workouts, the students had a coakout at Broken Arrow Park. The money will go toward the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund, which gives scholarships to children of active service members who were either permanently disabled, are prisoners of war or are missing in action.

"Wed like to welcome you to a day you'll remember forever," she said. Soon after that announcement, 16 of us — journalists, city hall workers and even a radio DJ — scoop up our helmets, protective masks and firefighter jackets, and prepare to participate in the first Lawrence Fire Department FIREOPS 101. Elkins' bold promise makes me more ready than ever to experience firsthand the job of a firefighter. "Remember forever?" I think. "We'll see." OPS 101 CPR Robert Hardy, the head firefighter for my group, leads city commissioners Boog Highberger and Mike Dever, City Personnel Manager Lori Carnahan and me down a back hallway to a room where a dummy lies sprawled on the floor. Firefighter John Darling tells Dever to begin chest compressions on the dummy. I grab a seal and oxygen tank, and start giving it air. A few minutes later, the three of us place the dummy on the stretcher and carry, it through a narrow door and down a set of stairs to an ambulance. As I think about how heavy the stretcher is and how tough it is to get down the stairs, Darling says, "Just be glad it's not 3 a.m. and icy outside." I later realize firefighters often have to deal with calls at strange times like that when Darling shows us a poster of statistics. The Lawrence Fire Department responded to almost 9,000 medical incidents or fires last year. Just when I ask Darling about how many calls they get each day, we have to switch stations. Next up — the real fire. FIGHTING THE FIRE Id been looking forward to this opportunity all week. CPR on a dummy is OK, but putting out an actual fire? That's my kind of thing. I put on my full suit, helmet and face mask. A firefighter helps me strap an oxygen tank to my back. The suit and tank make me feel like someone attached a kitchen table to my body. We step up to the building's door. Although this is just a training drill, my heart rate increases as the firefighters tell us to enter. I crouch down and start crawling on the wet tile floor with a hose in my hand as the rest of the group follows me. I crawl for a minute before I see light SEE FIREMAN ON PAGE 6A Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Mark Dent, Kansan Reporter, put on firefighter gear and plunged into a day of training simulation with the Douglas County Fire Department.

CAMPUS SUA hosts hunger banquet Students have opportunity to eat free, learn about global poverty 84 BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com Students can enjoy a free dinner tonight at the Kansas Union — and they can also learn about world poverty. Student Union Activities and Oxfam America, a non-profit organization that works to educate people about global issues such as poverty and hunger, is sponsoring a Hunger Banquet at 6 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas University The dinner is free, and attendees will draw an identity card at the door and be grouped according to upper, middle and lower-class divisions. Upper-class citizens can enjoy a three-course meal and sit at a table with chairs. Those in the middle class will be served rice and beans, while lower-class citizens will sit on the floor and eat rice. The classes will shift during the dinner: Those who begin in the upper class may move to the lower classes, and the lower and middle classes might move up in rank. This is to simulate how frequently people around the world change class status. Brianna Saunders, Vancouver, British Columbia, junior and social committees member for SUA, is in her second year helping with the banquet. "We take people through these social issues and show them how much one person's actions can affect many," she said. Selena Self, Norman, Okla., senior and former Oxfam coordinator, said that about 150 attended the banquet last year, and she said that she hoped to have 250 attend this "I think it's important to balance out our education and get involved in and go to events and learn outside the classroom," Mack said. During a reception, students can also learn how to become involved with different student organizations that focus on social issues such as hunger and poverty. Nathan Mack, Lawrence junior, plans on attending the dinner. He said he went to events like the hanger banquet often because he could gain an unique perspective. year. She said students would be surprised to learn that a large number of people lived on less than $1 a day. "We want people to leave with a sense of hope," Saunders said. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring 》 FINANCIAL AID Bill helps students with college costs A new law will make it easier for some students to pay for college tuition and loans after graduation. President Bush signed the College Cost Reduction Act into law last Thursday. The law will increase the amount of Pell Grant scholarships and increase the eligibility of students who can receive them. Interest rates on subsidized student loans will also be cut in half over the next five years, thanks to the bill. The law provides loan forgiveness after 10 years of service to students who work in high-need areas such as education, nursing and other public service jobs. 14 --- .

The grits were presented in two-pound trays, each about eight inches by six inches and 1½ inches deep, said Ryan Nerz, a spokesman for Major League Eating. Bertoleti said the race "tested our stomach capacity like no other." The buzz going in was that a lot of grits would go down because they were so easy to eat. Nerz said. There were nine contestants, and the top three ate a combined 60 pounds. Tim "Eater X" Janus of New York was second, with 20 pounds. Joey Chestnut of San Jose, Calif., who this summer ate a record-breaking 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes to become world hot dog-eating champion, finished third, polishing off 19 pounds.

MARRIAGE PROPOSAL DEMOLITION-STYLE Pennsylvania couple gets engaged during derby BLOOMSBURG, Pa. — Marriage proposals have been displayed on billboards, announced on scoreboards and even written into newspaper crossword puzzles. Kevin Weaver's engagement to Karen Slusser got off to a smashing start — he painted his proposal on a car and drove it in a demolition derby. "Every woman I know says she wants to announce it to the world when she gets engaged. I figured I'd announce it for her and make it well noted," Weaver, Danville, Pa., resident, said. Slusser, Mifflinville, Pa., resident, knew Weaver was entering the derby. But this past week, Weaver moved the car to a friend's garage and painted "Karen Slusser will u marry me?" from the hood along the driver's side and up the trunk. When the car appeared in the derby arena Saturday, Slusser read the message and her family cheered. "Yes!" she said with a laugh. Weaver finished third, then met Slusser at the gate to the driver's pit and asked for her answer. "Yes! " she said with a laugh. And with that, Weaver handed her a real diamond ring. contact us Tell us your news Contact Erick R.

The College Cost Reduction Act will increase the amount of Pell Grant scholarships and reduce interest rates on subsidized student loans. The act will also reward students in education and public service areas. "This is huge." U.S. Rep. Nancy Boyda (D-Kansas) said, "So many students have been deeply worried about the amount of debt after college." The new law will increase annual Pell Grants — need-based federal grants given to low-income students — by $490 next year, and $1,350 in the next five years. Also, more students will be eligible for Pell Grants because of an increase in the income limit of $20,000 to $30,000. The intent is to give more students assistance with college costs. The law will also decrease interest rates of federal student loans. Boyda said interest rates would be cut in half over the next four years from 6.8 to 3.4 percent. "More students will have access to the American dream," Boyda said. Boyda encouraged students to check out the savings for themselves. She said the committee on education and labor's Web site had a link to a calculator at http://edlabor.house.gov/college/. She said students could find their state, enter their college costs and see how much they would save. The bill will pay for itself by cutting federal subsidies paid to companies that offer student loans. It is the largest single investment for college students since the 1944 GI Bill that helped veterans returning from World War II. Boyda said the cost of higher education became a huge problem and worry for both students and parents. Deputy Director of University Communications, Jack Martin said a little more than 40 percent of University students had some type of student loan. Martin said the reduced interest rates provided by the new law would be a great benefit to those students. He said the law worked well with the University's Four-Year Tuition Compact that provides a fixed tuition rate for incoming freshman. Martin said students would have a better foundation to work with knowing their college costs. Chancellor Robert Hemenway couldn't be reached for comment, but in a University press release he said the new law and Four-Year Tuition Compact complemented each other and helped students plan for college financially. "This matches up nicely with our efforts to bring more predictability to college costs through our Four-Year Tuition Compact." Hemenway said in the press release. The act will also reward students in the areas of education and public service with the tuition assistance program. Boyda said teachers, nurses, firefighters and other public service workers would have their loans forgiven after 10 years of service in areas or subjects of high national need. "We have a desperate need in Kansas for people to go into these areas," Boyda said. "But a lot of young people don't because they don't pay very well." The College Cost Reduction Act is estimated to aid Kansas college students with $282 million within the next five years. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring 5K run funds scholarships for children of injured active-duty service members BY COURTNEY CONDRON >> AIR FORCE ROTC ccondron@kansan.com Air Force ROTC raised $900 Saturday for children of disabled, imprisoned or missing service members with a 5K run. The AFROTC honored the service members with a "Physical Training for a Cause" run and cookout. The 22 students who ran asked friends and family to donate money to the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund along with donating themselves. The AFROTC commanders and physical fitness center also attended. "We come out here and have fun, and we enjoy it," Britton Hufford, Holton sophomore, said. "it's going to help some needy people, and that's the goal of our organization." Garrett Kohl, Olathe senior and cadet wi room commander, said he asked his roommates and family to donate money, and then matched it himself. "We are all learning to be better leaders and officers," Kohl said.

Jared Anderson, Topeka senior ran for Sergeant Phil Dyer, a member of his neighborhood, who is deployed in Afghanistan. "It's awesome that we raised close to $1,000," Anderson said. "It shows the drive and determination that these people have, and the sacrifices they make. This isn't normal for a college kid, and it's nice to be a part of it." The AFROTC used the Saturday morning run as a replacement for one of its weekly 6 a.m. workouts. "It's a good opportunity to take what we do routinely and use it for a good cause," Stephanie Langley, Leavenworth junior and public affairs director, said. The money donated to the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund helps provide scholarships to children of active-duty service members who were permanently disabled in the line of duty, are currently prisoners of war or are missing in action. "We like that it helps education; that's always a good idea," Tyler Fry, Derby junior and director of special projects, said. "These are all people who didn't do anything wrong, but are going to have less money, because a lot of it is going to have to go toward medical bills and things like that." - Edited by Meghan Murphy PROPERTY OF PRESENT LAST KN9 From left, Veronica Hoskinson, Burton senior, Spencer Anderson, Overland Park junior, and Charles Weniger, Stillwell senior, enjoy themselves during the Air Force ROTC 5K RUN and barbecue Saturday at Broken Arrow Park in Lawrence.

HURST ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — U.S. and Iraqi forces killed more than 60 insurgent and militia fighters in intense battles over the weekend, with most of the casualties believed to have been al-Qaida fighters, officials said Sunday. The U.S. Embassy, meanwhile, joined a broad swath of Iraqi politicians — both Shiite and Sunni — in criticizing a nonbinding U.S. Senate resolution seen here as a recipe for splitting the country along sectarian and ethnic lines. U. S. aircraft killed more than 20 al-Qaida in Iraq fighters who opened fire on an American air patrol northwest of Baghdad, the U.S. command said. The firefight between U.S. aircraft and the insurgent fighters occurred Saturday about 17 miles northwest of the capital, the military said. The aircraft observed about 25 al-Qaida insurgents carrying assault rifles — one brandishing a rocket-propelled grenade — walking into a palm grove, the military said. "Shortly after spotting the men, the aircraft were fired upon by the insurgent fighters", it said. The military did not say what kind of aircraft were involved but the fact that the fighters opened fire suggests they were low-flying Apache helicopters. The command said more than 20 of the group were killed and four vehicles were destroyed. No Iraqi civilians or U.S. soldiers were hurt. recent months, including the recent killing of the Tunisian head of the foreign fighter network in Iraq and the blows struck in the past 24 hours," military spokesman Col.

The ministry did not further identify those killed, but use of the word "terrorists" normally indicates al-Qaida.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2007 PAGE 5A SIX YEARS IN UNDERGRAD T-shirt issue borders on being censorship Offensive or not, the "Muck Fizzou" shirt is still the embodiment of student expression BETSY MCLEOD As an institute of higher learning, KU believes that the freedom for a student to express him or herself is paramount to the development of a diverse and educated mind. That is, until the student wears an almost vulgar T-shirt on national television. In numerous repeat offenses freedom of student speech has undergone scrutiny, questioning exactly how far that freedom extends. Campuses around the U.S. are addressing the same question that KU now must ask itself: how much censorship is too much? Last week College Republicans at Colorado State University called for the resignation of the campus paper's editor-in-chief because he published a column entitled, "Taser This: F-- Bush" on the opinion page as a response to the Tasering of a University of Florida student. The blatant "F-- Bush" free speech stunt was harshly criticized by conservative students at CSU. Businesses that invested in the college paper have already pulled more than $30,000 worth of advertisements, afraid of bad publicity. In 2004 a stink was raised at Texas A&M about a T-shirt that read "F#%k John Kerry." (Spelling and use of expletives is correct.) The plaintiff's argument was based on the accusation that the shirt promoted rape. True, wearing suggestively vulgar shirts isn't classy, but it is a tradition in sports rivalries. Other popular versions of the shirt include "Wuck Fazu." "Muck Fichigan" and "Tuck Fexas." Those shoes are simply stating an opinion that "I Hate ___" wouldn't do justice for. Mizzou sells a T-shirt with an upside-down Jayhawk on the front, and above it is written "Flip the Bird." Should ESPN be concerned that even though the shirt isn't actually flipping off KU, it is still suggesting the offensive action? It is foolish and reprehensible for the University itself to condemn the Muck Fizzou shirts, taking a dangerous step down the slippery slope of violating students' First Amendment rights. Censorship is designed to protect people from potentially harmful slurs that would directly incite riots or violent behavior, directly provoke discrimination and directly offend mass groups of people. It is not, however, designated as the baby-sitter, putting children in time-out for having a potty mouth. Should we start wagging our fingers at every potentially offensive thing printed on a T-shirt or in a newspaper? Should we not be allowed to wear anything controversial when there is a possibility of being on national TV? Or maybe the parking department could take on the additional task of ticketing people who utter any sort of fighting words. Case in point, students should be able to wear what they want, provided that any sort of message stays within the protectable boundary of the constitution. The University knows that, and should be fighting to keep it that way instead of fighting to keep the athletic department's revenue flowing from ESPN ads and publicity. Muck you, ESPN. Leave my T-shirt alone. SHARING STORIES AND FORGETTING TIME McLeod is an Overland Park senior in journalism and Middle Eastern Studies.

Sexual responsibility necessary Condom use, vaccination and disease prevention contribute to a healthy sex life ANNIE SIMMERMON From the beginning of puberty all of us have had the principles of safe sex ingrained in our brains, so why does the question, "Should I get a condom?" even exist? We live in time and an environment where the answer should always be "yes," no matter what. The facts remains, however, that not everyone wears a condom. In fact, many people have unsafe sex all the time. This leads me to wonder if these people have a death wish or if personal preference just outweighs a lifetime of shame and desolation. If you have a long-term partner, then condom use can be a question, but that's only because you've earned the right to make it one. The time when condom use is most important is during a random sexual encounter, perhaps after a long night of drinking in a bar named after our school mascot. The funny thing about random sex is that it usually isn't even that great. Whether the girl is a dead fish or the guy isn't that well-endowed, is a one-night drunken humpfest worth a potential lifetime of misery? Ladies, just hear me out here. If a guy buys you a drink, talks to you all night and dry humps you on the dance floor, it does not mean he wants to be your boyfriend. In fact he probably won't even ask for your number the next morning and that's probably because he doesn't even remember your name. Let's face it, chivalry is dead and so is decency. Lawrence is a cesspool of sexual deviancy. Do you really want some horrible night of drunken coitus to be your last memory of sex when you were clean? Which brings me to the next question. If you were unfortunate enough to contract an incurable STI, should you always tell your partner before engaging in any kind of sexual act? To that I would say absolutely, "yes," drunk or not. Every person deserves the right to know what they're are getting into. I know that it's awkward and that your sex life will probably not be nearly as active, but taking responsibility and having respect for others should always take precedent over our own sexual desires. And the fact is that putting on a condom really isn't that big of a deal. It's not exactly rocket science. In this day and age, chancing it and not wearing a condom is like buying a one-way ticket on the HIV train to AIDS city, so wrap it up. It's that simple. And for all the ladies out there, I would suggest getting the HPV vaccine for cervical cancer. We women are on the receiving end of some very unfortunate diseases, so let's eliminate the possibility of getting hurt when we can. Simmermon is a Leawood senior in journalism.

S" GUEST COLUMN Typography matters when it comes to athletic uniforms The classic Jayhawk font symbolizes excellence in a way that Trajan can't BRIAN LEWIS In the world of athletic apparel, change is inevitable. Nobody expects the uniforms of this University to remain the same, indefinitely. If that were true, then the basketball team's shorts would still have belt loops and a 4-inch inseam. The Rock Chalk Dancers would be wearing full-length skirts, and the football team would still be wearing leather helmets. Change is often appropriate and at times, necessary. Who really wants to see Sasha Kaun's upper thigh tan and not the Rock Chalk Dancers? Not every upgrade, however, is necessary; some things about our uniforms can and should stay the same. The classic Jayhawk typeface is a symbol of athletic superiority. Why don't we celebrate this arcing typeface just as we do with the Rock Chalk Chant and waving the wheat? I don't work for the company on the other side of the country with "expertise" in type and graphic design, but I am a die-hard Jayhawk fan who has grown up with a tradition of KU excellence. I remember Greg Ostertag setting the school record in blocked shots. I remember Jacque Vaughn diving headfirst to steal the ball from an opponent to prevent an easy lay-up. I remember Paul Pierce burying the opponent with shot after shot in what we all knew would be his last game in the Fieldhouse. Each of these heroes added to the legend of KU basketball while proudly wearing the classic "Jayhawk font." I can understand some of the recent changes in KU uniforms. Switching from Nike to Adidas for athletic sponsorship, for example, was a good move; Adidas provides better equipment and support for all of KU's teams. I support the athletic department's desire to unify all of the KU athletic teams under the same typeface; something that this University needs to do in order to compete with athletic departments such as Texas, Ohio State and Florida. What better way to unify the University than to use one unique font that stands out above all others? The classic "Jayhawk font" is as popular and unique as the Argyle pattern on North Carolina's uniforms. Why not take advantage of this notoriously and use it to promote all of the KU teams? I propose moving back to individuality and away from conformity by showing off the "Jayhawk font" on all athletic uniforms. How sweet would it look to see Aqib Talib as a classic Jayhawk football icon wearing a classic football uniform? I don't even expect $80,000 for that marketing plan.

This is why firefighters have to crawl. If you stand up, the fire only feels hotter. A firefighter tells me to turn on the hose. I flip the switch, and water rushes out. The pressure knocks me back a few feet, but I hold onto the hose. Within 15 seconds, the fire is out. CITY OF CALIFORNIA I can't stop thinking about the heat.

SMOKE VISION After I crawl out of the building, my clothes sooping wet with sweat, I chug a bottle of water as my group learns about its next scenario. MARK DENT Kansan reporter allows firefighters to see in situations like these — a handheld electronic device with a screen that can show me objects through the smoke. I stare through it, searching down a hallway and I see a body. It must be the firefighter. I crawl to him, and everyone follows. My head starts spinning. I can't handle the smoke any longer, and it's not even as bad as usual. Firefighters have to navigate through thicker, darker smoke whenever they deal with fires. I struggle to push the firefighter out of the room to safety. Fresh air has never tasted better than when I step outside. There's no way I'm going back into a smoke building. CAR CHOPPING The next station has nothing to do with smoke. My group walks past three junkyard cars that have been totally destroyed. I smile when a firefighter hands me an axe and points toward the windows of a beat-up Oldsmobile.

Dever and I chop at the car until all four windows and the windshield are broken. VIRGINIA Next up: the Spreader. The Spreader is a tool similar to the Jaws of Life. The firefighter tells me to start with the passenger-side front door. I shove the Spreader as deep as I can into a gap between the front and back door, and move a switch to the left. Pop. Metal starts breaking as the jaws spread apart. I lift the Spreader up to the car's frame near where the windshield used to be and start cutting until the roof and the frame are no longer connected. Dever does the same to the other side. Two more firefighters join us as we transform the junky Oldsmobile into a convertible. I enjoy destroying the old car, but I learn it's not so cool in real life. In situations like this, firefighters have less than an hour to arrive, tear open the car, rescue a victim who is likely severely injured and get the victim on a helicopter to University of Kansas Medical Center. ALL IN A DAY'S WORK The day now comes to a close. After a catered lunch, I drive home, shower, then go with some friends to watch college football at Zig and Mac's. I eat chips and salsa, relax and don't have to worry about receiving an emergency call to attend a possible life-threatening situation. Firefighters do that every day. I got to find out exactly what they do. The danger of their work and their commitment to the job are things I really will remember forever. — edited by Chris Beattie Sarah Leonard/KANSAN FF 01 6 JNT Dent climbs out of a trailer after practicing a rescue simulation.

Wissel finished seventh overall, out of 211 runners — three spots and 10 seconds better than his finish last year. Heferon was in pursuit of Wissel, finishing 18th overall. After the two All-Americans set the bar, it took awhile for the next Jayhawk to cross the line. Finishing in 82nd for the men was sophomore Bret Imgrm. Imgrm finished 181 spots better than he did a year ago and did it while beating his previous time by two minutes. This marks the third race in a row in which Imgrain has improved.

"Any time you have two All-Americans, they are going to create a gap between your No. 2 and No. 3," Redwine said in a press release.

COLORADO 27, NO.3 OKLAHOMA 24 The Sooners made one too many mistakes in Boulder, Colo. Freshman quarterback Sam Bradford threw two interceptions and Reggie Smith muffed a punt with fewer than six minutes remaining that led to the Buffalooes' tying touchdown. Colorado freshman quarterback Cody Hawkins looked fearless while leading his team to a comeback victory with 220 yards. Kevin Eberhart made a career-best 45-yard field goal as time expired to give Colorado the upset. The Wildcat defense hasn't been kind to Longhorn quarterback Colt McCoy in its two games against him. For the second straight year, Kansas State injured the sophomore quarterback and upset Texas. Led by Ian Campbell, who had an interception, touchdown and two tackles, the KSU defense intercepted four McCoy passes. Offensively, wide receiver Jordy Nelson led the onslaught with 12 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown. KANSAS STATE 41 NO.7 TEXAS 21 NO. 25 NEBRASKA 35 IOWA STATE 17 For the second straight week the Cornhuskers' play wasn't pretty but was sufficient to pull out a win at home. The Nebraska secondary gave up a lot of yards once again as Cyclone quarterback Bret Meyer threw for 281 yards. But they also created turnovers by picking off three of Meyer's passes and returning one of them for a touchdown. TEXAS A&M 34 BAYLOR 10 The Aggies got back to the classic style of football they're known for: producing long, drawn-out drives and playing smothering defense. Texas A&M's time of possession totaled more than 43 minutes while Baylor's was not even 17 minutes. Aggie running back Jorvorskie Lane carried the ball 24 times for 123 yards. TEXAS TECH 75, NORTHWESTERN STATE 7 The Red Raiders found a simple cure for the problems stemming from their tumultuous week: a complete annihilation of the Demons of the FCS, formerly Division 1-AA. Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrel threw for 338 yards and five touchdowns before Taylor Potts relieved him and threw for three more touchdowns. OKLAHOMA STATE 39, SAM HOUSTON STATE 3 Cowboys receiver Adarius Bowman caught eight passes for 141 yards, his second 100-yard receiving performance of the year. The defense also used the match-up against the Bearkats as a morale booster. The Cowboys tortured Bearkat quarterback Rhett Bomar with excessive pressure as defensive backs Donovan Woods and Ricky Price recorded their first career sacks. NO. 2 LSU 34. TULANE 9 NO.1 USC 27, WASHINGTON 24 Despite being outgained by almost 300 yards, the Huskers played right with the top-ranked Trojans into the final seconds. Southern Cal had161 penalty yards. The Tigers' offense sputtered in the first half and the Green Wave took the lead for a brief period of time. But LSU quarterback Matt Flym got back on track in the second half and finished with 258 passing yards. AUBURN 20, NO.4 FLORIDA 17 Wes Byrum booted a game-winning 43-yard field goal for the resilient Tigers and proceeded to taunt the nearly 90,000 fans in "The Swamp" with his own version of the "Gator chomp." NO. 18 SOUTH FLORIDA 21, NO. 5 WEST VIRGINIA 13 Coach Jim Leavitt started the South Florida football program only 11 years ago. He never imagined the Bulls would have a legitimate shot at an undefeated season by 2007. NO. 6 CALIFORNIA 31, NO. 11 OREGON 24 Oregon receiver Cameron Colvin fumbled the football into the end zone with 15 seconds remaining, giving the Golden Bears the ball on a touchback and ensuring their victory. NO. 8 OHIO STATE 30, MINNESOTA 7 The Golden Gophers' attempts to run the ball averaged only 1.6 yards per carry.

Colorado was more than a 20-point underdog at home to No. 3 Oklahoma, but the Buffaloes were able to pull out the victory with a last-second field goal. The loss, coupled with Kansas State's defeat of No. 7 Texas, spoiled this weekend's Red River Shootout between the Longhorns and Sooners. MARYLAND 34, NO.10 RUTGERS 24 Rutgers hadn't trailed in a game since December of last year. Terrapin linebacker Dave Philistin recorded nine tackles and a fumble recovery.

Greg Biffle, in the No.16 Aflaic Ford, won the race. BY BRYAN WHEELER KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM This weekend, NASCAR came to the Kansas Speedway. The main event of the weekend was the Nextel Cup Series LifeLock 400. On Sunday fans flocked to fill the 81,687-seat stands to watch 43 qualifying drivers compete for victory in the 267-lap, 400-mile race. Seventy-five million Americans religiously follow the sport of NASCAR. The rest of the country, however, is left wondering how on earth so many people could be drawn to a sport consisting of cars driving in a giant circle. Falling into the latter category, I was tasked by the Kansan to see what this sport is all about and travel to the Kansas Speedway. Before the race came race introductions by VIP's such as Governor Kathleen Sebelius and Jim Lovell, an Apollo 13 Astronaut. Gavin DeGraw sang the national anthem as four A-10 fighter planes flew over the track and 43 enlisted simultaneously started. Cars such as the No. 88 flaming Snickers Ford, the No. 21 Little Debbie Snack Cakes Ford and the No. 16 Aflac Ford, featuring a duck, quickly caught my eye. I decided to follow those cars throughout the race. In less than a minute, I went from a 22-year-old skeptic to an 8-year-old kid again. I wandered on the ground near the track, watching the pit crews working with high-tech computers and speedy repairs, following the drivers traveling at 200 mph in 850-horsepower machines on a 1.5-mile track with a 20-degree banked turns. It became apparent that there was more to this sport than cars driving in circles. Tiffany Breaux, NASCAR coordinator of communications, showed me the spotter's stand on top of the press box. Towering above, 43 spotters worked to relay messages to their respective drivers telling them where to go and which drivers to look out for. Wildwood Less than 30 laps into the race, after the first of two rain delays, I witnessed the competitive, brutal nature of the sport when the No. 8 car driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr. tapped the No. 5 car driven by Kyle Busch, sending him spiraling out of control and crashing. fighter pilots and race car drivers Torrential downpour and strong winds caused three hours of rain delays, shortening the race to 210 laps. During the second rain delay, most fans headed home. Some pit crews anxiously awaited the end of the delay and watched the Chiefs game. The pilots of the A-10's came down to the track and schmoozed with the pit crews, drawing comparisons between The Little Debbie Snack Cakes Ford, driven by Ken Schrader, ended up crashing in the first lap after the rain delay. The flaming Snickers Ford, driven by Kenny Wallace, finished in nearly last place. The Aflac Ford, driven by Greg Biffle, finished in first place. What I predicted to be a boring day at the race tracks ended with me appreciating a sport I once thought to be dull and boring. While I probably will not become a diehard NASCAR fan like some of the people at the Kansas Speedway on Sunday, I could finally see why one in three adults in this country follow the sport. Edited by Matt Erickson Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN NASCAR fans gather on the top of recreational vehicles in the center of Kansas Speedway to watch Sunday's Nextel Cup race. Camping out at the track is a popular way for fans to catch all of the weekends action.

While admiring the Intimidator's strong, thick mustache, a man wearing a baseball cap and glasses stood next to me. "You know, he's been dead for years," the man said. "Yeah, but that's about all I know about racing." I replied. "Well then, just know that people in the South take him very seriously. Many believe that when Jesus comes back, so will Dale — along with Elvis." Right then, a different man sporting a Dale Earnhardt hat walked by, laughed and nodded his head in agreement. At that moment, I realized that I knew even less about NASCAR culture than I thought. I bet many people don't know about NASCAR culture. These are a few things that I learned during my first NASCAR event: Devoted fans fill speedway - This is consumerism at its best. BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM Cars stretch as far as the eye can see in the parking lots. Fans have been camping out since as early as Wednesday. The coals are burning on the grills, the smell of alcohol is in the air and there is even a smoothie machine present at one campsite. This is a typical experience for the fans of America's favorite stock car racing league: NASCAR. The NASCAR faithful show dedication to their sport every weekend. According to Forbes.com, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Jeff Gordon are two of the top ten sports brands in terms of individual athletes. It shows when you attend a NASCAR race. The fans are decked out in hats, shirts and coats that represent their favorite drivers. Trying to make it through the merchandise area is harder than trying to make it down the hill on game day. All the fans feel obligated to represent their favorite drivers. Kansas Speedway has a capacity of 81,687. NASCAR fans filled the stands on Sunday. Not only that, but fans camped out in recreational vehicles and watched the race from their roofs in the infield of the track. Bruce Werts, Russell, Iowa resident, holds a piece of cardboard over his portable television so his family can keep updated on the race, while other family members watch from the roof. Werts said he enjoys the numerous people he meets at races. Emporia native takes fifth "You don't even know them. They might be from a different state," Werts said. Some diehard fans can't wait for the race to start. Dan Warrington, who traveled from St. Ansgar, Iowa, said he arrived at the speedway Friday morning. Warrington said that he has been a NASCAR fan "forever" Like many others in attendance, Warrington was watching Clint Bowyer closely. The native Kansan was a fan favorite on Sunday and even exchanged a hug with Governor Kathleen Sebelius before the race The fans come out in multitudes, especially at Kansas Speedway. They want to fraternize with the drivers. Jenny Pritchett, NASCAR broadcast communications coordinator, said that at the Busch race on Saturday she had never seen so many people crying and screaming. It was all for the drivers. When the drivers were announced, it was quite audible how much the fans support the drivers. Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. garnered the most appease during driver introductions, Kasey Kahne made the ladies swoon and Tony Stewart earned a solid amount of jeers. Caution flags plugged the race with two rain delays, but the fans stayed through the rain. NASCAR tries to take care of its fans as best it can. Bowyer spent most of the race in second place, but Matt Kenseth and Casey Mears passed him in the last 10 laps. Kleus Busch won the race. Bowyer, who wore a University of Kansas hat, said he was a fan of the basketball and football teams. mass service is offered for all those present at the meeting, Breaux said. "There was a lot of butting up front," Busch said. "The top five were all over each other." NASCAR fans are very dedicated. Tiffany Brenaux, NASCAR coordinator of communications, said that the NASCAR experience was similar to a family atmosphere. Even the drivers are close. After the drivers'meeting in the morning, a non-denominational Busch said he was joking about winning the race during a pit stop, but that he hadn't expected to really win. NASCAR is wise to take care of its fans because it has a faithful nation of them dedicated to the sport. "It's all about the fans," Breaux said. Bowyer said he was frustrated with the tight space on the mile and a half track. He said he was still hopeful compared to last year. He said that he was struggling last year, but this year, he was in the chase. "It's fun to come back and run in front of my friends and family. It means a lot." Bowyer said.

In addition to covering and trying out for the Kansas baseball team, I've been to Kauffman Stadium eight times and the Willie Wilson T-Bones Classic. I saw the Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa. I even took an unpaid internship this summer so I could go to Boston and see a game at Fenway Park, when the Royals were in town, of course. BY SHAWN SHROYER KANSAN COLUMNIST SHROYER@KANSAN.COM So, it's only appropriate that I bid farewell to the regular season and usher in the postseason. In a particular order, here are my Top 10 and Bottom 5 MLB moments from 2007 as well as a few post and offseason predictions. STANDING OVATIONS 10. In what may go down as the highlight of the Boston Red Sox season, Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell and Jason Varitek hit four straight home runs at Fenway to surge past the New York Yankees for a 7-6 victory on April 22. It's been the highlight of Drew's season, anyway. 9. Out to prove he's more than just a pretty face, Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox surpassed former New York Giants player/manager John McGraw for the all-time ejections record, tallying No. 132. on Aug. 14 7. Looking as rambunctious as John McGrew following a tennis match on those Neu Physical Therapy commercials, Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz celebrated becoming the first Red Sox rookie to throw a no-hitter in franchise history on Sept. 1. 8. With a 6-3 victory against the Minnesota Twins, the Kansas City Royals avoided losing 100 games for the fourth year in a row on Sept. 12. Goal for 2008: Get out of the AL Central basement. 6. On Sept. 25, Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder, 23, became the youngest player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs in a season. Those hoping to see a "clean" player sitting atop the all-time home run list should be rooting for this slugger. 5. The Texas Rangers surrendered an early field goal in a football score-like 30-3 annihilation of the Baltimore Orioles on Aug. 22. Texas' 30 runs set a modern baseball record, and if you didn't see ESPN's Tim Kurkjian rattling off fast facts from the game on Baseball Tonight, you missed a real treat. 4. On Aug. 9, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Rick Ankiel made his first big league appearance since 2004 and put an exclamation point on his return with a three-run home run in the seventh inning. Originally a pitcher for the Cardinals, Ankiel was a regular in the Cardinals lineup the last two months and hit .285 with 11 home runs. 3. "Iron Man" Cal Ripken Jr. and consummate hitter Tony Gwynn were inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on July 29. These two class acts are the last of a dying breed, each having played for only one team during his major league career. 2. A collection of future Hall of Famers reached career milestones this season. Mets pitcher Tom Glavine earned his 300th career victory and may be the last ever to do so, while teammate Pedro Martinez notched career strikeout No. 3,000. San Diego Padres closer Trevor Hoffman became the first pitcher to reach the 500 career saves plateau. Rangers outfielder Sammy Sosa hit career home run No. 600, Chicago White Sox designated hitter Jim Thome hit career home run No. 500 and Toronto Blue, Jays designated hitter Frank Thomas hit his 500th home run the same day Houston Astros second baseman Craig Biggio Cleveland tops Kansas City KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Travis Hafner tuned up for the playoffs with another big day at the plate. Hafner drove in two runs to reach 100 runs batted in for the fourth straight year, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Royals 4-2 Sunday in the final game of the regular season. MLB The Indians, who won the AL Central, will start C.C. Sabathia in Game 1 of their division series against the New York Yankees on Thursday. The Yankees, who were 6-0 against the Indians this year, will counter with Chien-Ming Wang. Hafner, who spent a big part of the season in a slump and hit only .228 in May and .218 in June, is batting. .373 in his last 17 games with three homers and 13 RBIs. Play was halted for more than 10 minutes in the top of the ninth when a sharply hit grounder bounced up and struck Kansas City third baseman Alex Gordon in the face. Gordon's nose started bleeding but he was able to walk off the field under his own power holding a towel to his face. It was the final game for Royals manager Buddy Bell, who announced in August that he would step down to spend more time with his family. He finished his time in Kansas City with a 174-262 record. Associated Press collected his 3,000th hit. 1. On April 15, Major League Baseball celebrated the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. It was a wonderful ceremony, and the nation fell in love with Robinson's widow, Rachel ... or at least I did. MOMENTS OF SILENCE 4. Fellow New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens and third baseman Alex Rodriguez also reached career milestones. Clemens won his 350th game while A-Rod hit his 500th home run. Neither of their names have come up nearly enough in this performance-enhancing era. 5. On July 15, the Philadelphia Phillies lost their 10,000th game in franchise history, which begged the question: "What is the worst current MLB franchise?" The Royals were mentioned far too often. 2. Henry Aaron handed his crown as the Home Run King to San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds after Bonds blasted No. 756 to center field in AT&T Park on Aug. 6. Baseball fans like myself went to bed feeling numb to the occasion. Minn., collapsed, killing 13 people and injuring many more an hour before the Twins were about to play at home. If any good result from this tragic event, cities all over the country have reassessed the integrity of their bridges. 3. The Yankees clinched a playoff berth after trailing in the Wild Card race by 9.5 games in July. It really speaks to their character that they were able to overcome such a deficit with a measly $190 million payroll. --is currently looking for healthy volunteers ages 18-49 to participate in a clinical research study involving an outpatient investigational flu vaccine. A little farther west, the Royals will be big-time buyers. Don't be surprised to see the Royals lure Bonds into being their designated hitter/left fielder, and either Andruw Jones, Aaron Rowand or Mike Cameron into being their new center fielder. Also, GM Dayton Moore will (finally) trade David DeJesus – the slowest center fielder in the bigs – for Florida Matches pitcher Dontrelle Willis. Why not? If they're going to hire Joe Girardi to be their next manager, he'll need some new toys to play with. 1. Just after 6 p.m. on Aug. 1, the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, As for offseason predictions, shortly after the Yankees are jettisoned from the playoffs, A-Rod will opt out of his deal with the team and reunite with his former manager, Lou Pinella, on the north side of Chicago. Get excited. Cubs fans That's the beauty of being a Royals fan. You can dream and, even if you're wrong, still enjoy great moments around the league. Now that the field is set for the playoffs, it's time to pick a winner. I've been behind the Red Sox all season, and I'm sticking with them. Red Sox over the Mets...oops, I mean the Phillies in six games.

Kansas lost, 5-2, in the first of its two games against Missouri Russell separated shoulder. Adam MacDonald/KANSAN Michael Margolis, Houston sophomore, celebrates after a goal with teammates Friday night against the University of Missouri in Overland Park at Ice Midwest. The KU club hockey team was unable to come back from a 4-2 deficit. on Friday. The Jayhawks came out strong and scored in the first two minutes of the game, but the Tigers took the lead just one minute later. Kansas kept it close for most of the game but could not "We were happy with our effort all the way around," said Eric Hylok, senior goalkeeper from Edina, Minn. "There was never a time, save for the last five minutes of the game, that we thought we couldn't pull out a victory." The Jayhawks lost to the Tigers, 4-0, on Saturday night. Karsen "The biggest difference in the series was the fact that Mizzou capitalized on their opportunities, whereas we did not." comeback and win. Matt Zellmer, Inver Grove Heights, Minn., senior, and Michael Margolis, Houston sophomore, both scored for Kansas. The Jayhawks were without last season's leading scorer, Erik Bredesen, because of a misconduct penalty in their previous game. Justin Jez, Plano, Texas freshman, left the game with a EROC HYLOK Senior goalkeeper was unable to capitalize on several scoring opportunities. "It was a hard loss to swallow because we did play very well." Hylok said. "We executed all of the things we wanted to. We just weren't able to score any goals. The biggest difference in the series was the fact that Mizzou capitalized on their opportunities, whereas we did not." The injury problems continued for the Jayhawks in the second game when one of the team's best defenseman, Lee's Summit, Mo., sophomore Tim Shockey, left in the first period after injuring his knee. "Iinjuries were a really big issue," said Dan Gullioff, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior. "Being shorthanded the entire game was a huge factor." Kansas is now 2-4, but the squad is confident it can correct mistakes and be more successful in the future. "We have made chances for ourselves," Hylok said. "It is just a matter of putting the puck in the net. We have a great intensity, and we play an upbeat, physical style of hockey, but putting in more goals consistently will do great things for the team." Kansas plays Ferris State University and Central Michigan University on October 11 and 12. "The team needs to increase on its scoring chances," Guilfoil said, "The top two lines need to create some opportunities and put away these chances." —Edited by Chris Beattie Men's open 3-on-3 intramural soccer began round one of the playoffs. Rejected Talent v. 2, the winner of a play-in game, battled The Champs late Friday afternoon. INTRAMURALS Rejected Talent v. 2 beats The Champs 7-1 Wet grass and excessive amounts of mud made play difficult for both teams. Quick passing led to an early 2-on-1 break for The Champs, but a great defensive play by Matt Miller, Overland Park junior, deflected the ball wide of the goal. Moments later, a low shot from Dennis Fisher, Overland Park junior, deflected off an opposing player into the goal, giving Rejected Talent w.2 the 1- lead. The Champs tied the game at 1-1 after Erik Broxterman, Overland Park senior, passed the ball easily into the goal. The two teams remained all square until late in the first half, but two quick goals in the last minute gave The Champs a 3-1 advantage going into the break. The Champs managed to find the net four more times before the game was over, making the final score 7-1. "Hopefully we can play better next game," said Chris Carter, Apple Valley, Minn., freshman. Fisher said Rejected Talent v. 2 wasn't upset. "At least we won a game to get here." Fisher said after the game. "It's one round further than we thought we'd make it."

He said he wanted the experience so he could better understand what hungry people went through on a daily basis. Beckner, Glencoe, Ill., freshman, signed up for Fast-A-Thon, an annual event sponsored by the Muslim Student Association. The MSA invites non-Muslim students to fast with the group for one day during Ramadan, the holy month when Muslims fast during the day. Ala Abdel, Tulkrem, Palestine, junior and president of MSA, said Fast-A-Thon would be a good opportunity for students to learn more about Islam and to experience an important event in Muslim culture. He also said the event would increase awareness of poverty and hunger in the world. member, said she had a better perspective of what hungry people must go through every day. She said she didn't ask people not to eat in front of her. Emam Shaiwani, Olath senior and MSA "That's part of it. That's what a hungry person goes through," Shaiwani said. "They are amongst the people who are eating in front of them, but it's like, I can't have that because I can't afford it', so they watch it too. Why should I be distinguished from that person?" The MSA asked local businesses to sponsor students participating in Fast-A-Thon. Each business pledged a certain amount of money for each student that will attempt to fast for the day. All donations will go to the Lawrence Community Shelter. Last year more than 400 students participated and the event raised about $1,500 in donations. MSA volunteers will cook a traditional Middle Eastern dinner for participants to eat when they break their fast at sundown on Wednesday. Samia Javed, St. Louis senior, will help cook for the meal. She said fasting was a cleansing experience that made her think about those less fortunate than herself. She said on a mental level, it made her think twice about her actions and her intentions.

The two talked about whether the porn industry marketed to children, objectified women and promoted sexual violence. Washburn paid $14,000 for the two to visit. Mike Ditch, Washburn senior and execu tive director of Campus Activities, said that Washburn brought the two to the school to start a discussion about Internet porn. Jeremy and Leahy, who said that they were friends outside of their disagreement on this issue, have held similar debates at several institutions throughout the country.

The department filed a lawsuit against Joe-College.com, a downtown clothing store, in March, claiming the store's shirts violated University trademarks. Joe-College.com shirts feature sayings such as "Muck Fizzou" and pictures of sperm representing Kansas swimming. Larry Sinks, owner of Joe College, said his store never infringed on any University trademarks. He said his shirts included only Kansas and never used "University of Kansas" or "Jayhawk." Judy Pottorff, corporate counsel for the department, said Joe College did not have a license to produce apparel. The case is scheduled to go to trial in early January.

ESTHILLAH HORSEHOUSE SUR Luck of the draw odd news Finding of beached vows gives couple new hope Edited by Rachel Bock RACINE, Wis. — Melody Kloska and Matt Behrs take it as a sign they were meant to get married. After tying the knot on a Lake Michigan beach on Aug.18, they released a bottle containing their wedding vows. A few weeks later, the bottle was found by Fred and Lynnette Dubendorf, of Mears, Mich., who were also married on a beach — exactly 28 years before Kloska and Behrs. "It was meant to be,"Kloska said. "This was a sign to me." Kloska, 46, and Behrs, 41, have been together for five years, but with several failed marriages between them, they had doubts about remarrying. When it was time to throw the bottle sealed with their name, address and wedding vows into the lake, Behrs went to the rock farthest in the water. The bottle landed across Lake Michigan, where Lynnette spied it while walking her dogs. She wrote Kloska and Behrs to tell them. Associated Press What do you think?

Keating, senior associate athletics director, said most fans were happy to have the team on track to bowl eligibility. "There are far more Kansas fans that enjoy the fact that we are winning and playing at home than there are upset about the quality of the teams" Keating said. "The four non-conference games have provided us a base for a successful season." Although the strength of Kansas nonconference schedule has been weak — the four teams currently have a combined record of 4-15 — the Jayhawks have positioned themselves to becoming bowl eligible for the fourth time in five years. "I think it is better to play easier teams, because at the end of the season it will allow you to advance to the postseason," said Carissa Osner, Conway Springs junior. "Basically, we will be better off in the end." The Central Michigan contest was scheduled six years ago, before would have told you we would play three home and one away game." "There are far more Kansas fans that enjoy the fact that we are winning and playing at home than there are upset about the quality of the teams." Because one game with a Division FCS, formerly I-AA, opponent can count toward bowl eligibility each year and because those games are cheaper to play and against easier competition, it has become common practice to schedule them. Keating said Kansas planned to continue scheduling one per year. Toledo owed Kansas a game this year to complete a previous two-for-one contract, which brought the Rockets to Lawrence in 2004 and sent the Jayhawks to Toledo last season. The contract called for a payment of $125,000 to cover the road team's traveling expenses for each of the first two games, and a $300,000 payment to Toledo for this season's game. Division FBS, formerly I-A, teams can become bowl eligible with six victories. Schools with six victories can fulfill conference agreements with bowl games, but must wait behind teams with seven or more victories during at-large selections. Kansas missed a bowl last year after finishing 6-6. LARRY KEATING Senior associate athletics director "Seven wins would have gotten us a bowl spot last year," Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said. "If you aren't selected for a conference-affiliated bowl there is nothing you can do as a six-win team." Keating and the current administration came to Kansas. The game should have been played in 2003, but was postponed at the Chippewas' request. Kansas paid CMU the same $300,000 they had agreed to originally. Keating, who is in charge of scheduling nonconference matchups, said a unique set of circumstances allowed Kansas to play four nonconference home games. Keating's original plan was to play three homes and one road game. Two years ago, after having two nonconference games for 2007 already scheduled, against Toledo and Central Michigan, Florida International canceled a 2006 tilt between the two schools and agreed to play two games in Lawrence — one in 2007 and 2008. "So we had three home games and we still hadn't done our DI-AA game," Keating said. "If you had asked us a year ago at this time, I "Five years ago, the whole scene was a lot different," Keating said. "You can't get a game for $300,000 today. You are lucky if you can get a game for $500,000 today." FIU's original contract called for a $400,000 guarantee for one game to be played in 2006 at Memorial Stadium. After FIU canceled that game to open a spot on the schedule to play in-town rival Miami, Keating negotiated to play FIU in 2007 and 2008 for $250,000 each game. That left only one spot on the schedule. Keating quickly signed a deal with Division FCS Southeastern Louisiana for $275,000. Although some fans would like to see a marquee opponent on the non-conference slate, Keating said one of his primary jobs through the schedule was giving the team a chance to make a bowl game. "I don't think it would do any good to play four games that this fan looks at and says, 'Oh that was great to see X-team come in,' and we go 2-2 and don't make a bowl," Keating said. "I think making a bowl is very important to making a program. Our schedule is anchored in the Big 12, and that is what is really important."

A four-person panel spoke to students about surviving breast cancer as a part of Breast Cancer Awareness Week. Jesse Fetterling/KANSAN Pink ribbons abound this week as students observe Breast Cancer Awareness Week. The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center is offering several events to give students the opportunity to benefit breast cancer research. Stefani Gerson, Overland Park graduate student and intern at the center, coordinated a breast cancer awareness committee. She said she and other members of the committee had been affected by loved ones dealing with breast cancer. "When you're passionate about something, you want to do it right," Gerson said. "I wanted to make it as big as possible, a massive event. I just kind of blew it up." Last year, the center reached its goal of raising $1,200 to benefit breast cancer research. This year, Gerson said she wanted to set the bar higher. Her committee already has received more than $5,000 from its first event The money raised so far has come strictly from donations made during the first Jayhawk Pink Classic softball tournament, which was held on Saturday and Sunday. The Kansas softball team played Emporia State, Iowa Central and Washburn at Arrocha Ballpark. Players wore pink hair bands and arm bands, and the bases were colored pink to echo the pink ribbon symbol that has come to represent breast cancer awareness. On Wednesday, the committee will give students the opportunity to get their portraits taken with a pink backdrop for a small donation during an event they call Picture Perfect Pink. The pictures will be taken on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. The second annual Jayhawk 5K Run/Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness will wrap up the week's events on Sunday. Participants can register before the race at www.myappleku.com. Offline registration will start at 1 p.m. on Sunday, and the race will begin at 2 p.m. at the Burge Union. Participants will get the opportunity to win prizes donated by Apple and free sports messages after the race. The organizers request a donation of $5 to participate in the race, and T-shirts will be available for an additional $5. All proceeds from Breast Cancer Awareness Week will benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation, a network of breast cancer survivors dedicated to contributing to breast cancer research. Tiffany Spriggs, Princeton, W.Va., graduate student and awareness committee member, said students could show their support in other ways aside from donating money. be able to donate," she said. "But it can help just to attend all of the events." Will Sellers, Sterling, Va., senior, said students should take the opportunity to support those dealing with the common disease. He agreed that donating money was not the only way to help. "Just show you care by coming out to events and wearing the ribbons," Sellers said.

The trial is still scheduled for early January. Mediations are confidential, so neither side could give specific details about what was discussed during the mediation session. The session started Friday morning and lasted several hours. "We did not come to an agreement, and we're going to wait for a judge's ruling," said Judy Potterff, corporate counsel for the Athletics Department. "We have several motions that we're going to put before the judge." A motion is a request to a judge to give a ruling on a legal matter. A judge can prevent a case from going to trial by issuing rulings. Pottorff declined to say what motions the Athletics Department asked the judge to consider But she said the Athletics Department expected the judge to make a decision about the motions soon. Larry Sinks, Joe-College.com owner, said he thought the case would go to trial. The Athletics Department originally filed the lawsuit in March. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the University believed Joe-College.com inappropriately used its trademarks and sued the business to protect them. Some of Joe-College's T-shirt designs feature slogans such as "Muck Fizzou" and "Lawrence, a Drinking Town with a Basketball Problem." Sinks said his store didn't infringe on the University's trademarks. He said his shirts featured the name "Kansas" but never featured trademarks such as "University of Kansas" or "Jahawk." "Thousands of companies sell shirts with Kansas on them," Sinks said, "and I'm the only one being sued. I mean, that's our state. Does that mean the other university is going to have to go by State University? There's a music group called Kansas. Are they going to sue them?" Pottorff said the University took action against Joe-College.com and not other companies that used "Kansas" or "jayhawk" because Joe-College.com produced apparel, and the University has licenses for apparel. She said Joe-College.com's apparel was in direct competition with the Athletics Department. The start of the trial can't come soon enough for Sinks. He said he had received plenty of community support but was having trouble covering all the court costs. "They've tried to make me go broke," Sinks said, "and they've done an OK job. I've had to dip into my own children's college funds. We want to win the suit. We want to keep Joe College open." SPEAKER Edited by Rachel Bock Debate pits porn addict against porn star BY ERIN SOMMER erommer@kansan.com esommer@kansan.com Porn star Ron Jeremy squared off against recovering porn addict Michael Leahy last night in the "Great Porn Debate" at Washburn University in Topeka. Jeremy, who has starred in more than 1,800 adult films in his 29-year career, defended the porn industry against accusations that the industry uses the Internet to market to children. Jeremy said that he did not represent all adult films, only the films done under unions, which are careful to not hire people who are younger than 18 to participate in films. He also said that the porn industry did not target children. "I'd be the first person to prosecute it," Jeremy said. "We're against that. We want consenting adults having consensual sex. We're not advertising on billboards outside elementary schools." Leahy said that the porn industry allowed minors to view Web sites with easy loops to get through, such as the ability to easily lie about age in order to view the site. Leahy spoke about what he called his "sexual addiction", which he said was the largest addiction in the country and cost him his 15-year marriage, his relationship with his children and a business partnership with his brother. "Sexual addiction is really an intimacy problem," Leahy said. "A big part of this recovery is just being honest to myself and others." "My problem is not so much with the porn industry but with the Fortune 500 companies who use sex to promote products." Leahy said. He said that he had to censor what he watched on mainstream television, and he cut himself off entirely from cable television and the Internet for his first year of recovery. Jeremy, who said that he respected Leahy's addiction and realized that he cannot view pornography, said that he did not agree with Leahy's view that the industry fosters addictions such as his. "You don't take an entire industry and blame it as a whole because a few people had problems with it," Jeremy said. "To me, porn is just simple this: You want to laugh, watch Monty Python. If you want to get a little excited, watch a late night film on HBO or Cinema." Mike Ditch, Washburn senior and executive director of campus activities, said that Washburn paid $14,000 for Jeremy and Leahy to speak. He said that Washburn decided to bring the pair in for a discussion because Internet porn was relevant to college students. "We figured we could use this as a stepping stone to get a debate started," Ditch said. "We knew it would reach a wide range of students." Shane Turben, Topeka resident and Washburn alumnus, said that he attended the debate because he was a fan of Ron Jeremy and wanted to see him in person. "I'm more of a believer that any addiction is more from your own personal patterns," Turben said. Jeremy and Leahy have gone to several institutions throughout the country to discuss the porn industry. They are scheduled to speak at Central Washington University on Oct. 18 and Southern Illinois University on Jan. 28, 2008. Leahy is speaking Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in 120 Budg Hall to give a presentation entitled "Porn Nation." — Edited by Dianne Smith ESTABLISHED IN CHARLESTON, IL IN 1983 TO ADD TO STUDENTS GPA AND GENERAL DATING ABILITY.

"The allegations of criminal conduct on the part of these men and this corporation were not only unsupported by the evidence, they were disproved. The events here were tragic," the judge said. "However, to assign blame where none exists is to compound the tragedy." Toronto Superior Court Justice Mary Lou Benotto ruled that the defendants did not show conduct displaying wanton and reckless disregard in the use of the blood and that there was no marked departure from the standards of a reasonable person. The case involved blood products produced by New Jerseybased Armuore Pharmaceutical Co. The Canadian Red Cross no longer has control of the Canadian blood supply for all provinces except Quebec. The Canadian Red Cross pleaded guilty in 2005 to distributing blood tainted with HIV and hepatitis C and was fined 5,000 Canadian dollars, now about $5,000. The Red Cross apologized and provided 1.5 million Canadian dollars for a scholarship fund and research project for reducing medical errors. in the 1980s and early 1990s that turned out to be infected. Also charged were Dr. Roger Perrault of the Red Cross; Dr. John Furez and Donald Wark Boucher, formerly of Canada's Health Protection Branch, and Dr. Michael Rodell, a former vice president of Armour. Perrault pleaded not guilty to criminal negligence causing bodily harm for allegedly giving hemophilia patients an HIV-infected blood-clotting product. The other doctors and the drug company also pleaded not guilty. Lawyers argued that prosecutors didn't present enough evidence to prove its case. A second trial for Perrault is set to begin later this year in Hamilton, Ontario, where he will face more criminal charges alleging that the Red Cross and its senior officials failed to take adequate measures to screen blood donors.

The sign at stop reads: "The eighth congress." Putin said Monday he would lead the dominant United Russia party's ticket in December parliamentary elections and suggested he could become prime minister, the strongest indication yet that he will seek to retain power after he steps down as president early next year. If Putin becomes prime minister, he may be able to push the parliament to give him more power than the new president will have. BY STEVE GUTTERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin, in a surprise announcement, opened the door Monday to becoming Russia's prime minister and retaining power when his presidential term ends next year. The popular Putin is barred from seeking a third consecutive term in the March presidential election, but has strongly indicated he would seek to keep a hand on Russia's reins after he steps down. Putin's remarks Monday at a congress of the dominant, Kremlin-controlled United Russia party hint at a clear scenario in which he could remake himself as a powerful prime minister and eclipse a weakened president. Putin, 54, told United Russia that his name will top its ticket in Dec. 2 parliamentary elections — a huge show of support from a president who has always sought to remain above the grit of party politics. He called a proposal that he become prime minister "entirely realistic," but added that it was still "too early to think about it." For him to consider it, he said, first United Russia would have to win the elections and Russia elect as president a "decent, competent, effective, modern person with whom it would be possible to work in tandem." Putin's name on the ticket will make the first task much easier. Laden with top officials who can use the media, law enforcement and other levers to pressure opponents and influence voting, the party already has a huge advantage. And Putin's powerful support could ensure it retains the two-thirds majority needed in the State Duma, or lower house of parliament, to approve changes in the constitution. Putin's move points to the possibility that the constitution could be changed to shift power from the presidency to the government, which he would lead as prime minister. "The most logical way for Putin's team to fulfill its main goal — to step down but stay in power — is to change the constitution" to strengthen the prime minister and his Cabinet, political analyst Dmitry Oreshkin said in an interview. "The president would become a decorative figure." Former chess champion Garry Kasparov, a fierce Putin critic chosen by his opposition alliance this weekend to run against the Kremlin-backed presidential candidate in March, said Putin's move displayed "the anti-democratic and anti-constitutional nature of this whole electoral process." "In fact, Putin has done nothing more than decide to use United Russia as the main mechanism for retaining power," Kasparov told Ekho Moskvy radio.

While transferring power from the president to the prime minister would on the surface suggest a major change in the political system, the chief editor of Ekho Moskvy radio said it would make little difference in reality, comparing Putin's power to that of the czars or the Soviet-era Communist Party chiefs. "In Russia — as before — a regime of personal power has been established: The power of one person, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and whether he is called president or prime minister ... is meaningless," Alexei Nedikovt said. He said the power could be effectively shifted to the prime minister without touching the constitution, by changing a law to transfer power over the Defense Ministry and law enforcement from president to premier. There are no term limits on the premier, and the prime minister replaces the president if he dies or is incapacitated.

Former Army Reserve Staff Sgt. Ivan L. "Chip" Frederick Jr. served about three years of an eight-year sentence for actions that included placing wires in a detainee's hands and telling him he would be electrocuted if he fell off a box.

Man released after serving three years for Abu Ghraib crimes Myers said Frederick's cooperation with prosecutors, including his testimony at the trial in August of Frederick, of the 372nd Military Police Company of Cresaptown, Md., supervised the night shift in the prison's "hard site," where detainees deemed to be of high intelligence were held. At his court-martial in Baghdad in October 2004, Frederick admitted placing the wires in the hooded detainee's hands; forcing another, naked detainee to masturbate while Myers said Frederick's prosecution was a political attempt to shift blame from former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other high-ranking government officials whom Myers said had created an environment in which the Geneva Conventions were disregarded and misconduct was allowed in the name of national security. "Chip Frederick was never a 'bad apple' as the Army tried to portray him," Myers said in an e-mailed statement to The Associated Press. "Frederick recognized that he had done wrong and, like the decent man that he is, pleaded guilty to some of the charges against him." final Abu Ghraib defendant Lt. Col. Steven L.

ENTERTAINMENT Court ruling forces Britney to give Federline custody LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears was ordered Monday to surrender custody of her children to ex-husband Kevin Federline. Superior Court Judge Scott M. Gordon ruled that Federline would take custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, beginning Wednesday "until further order of the court." The order stemmed from an unspecified oral motion made by Federline's attorneyys and was handled in a closed-door hearing. The judge's order didn't state the reason for the change in custody, and all transcripts of the proceedings were ordered sealed. Phone messages left for representatives of Spears and Federline were not immediately returned Monday. Last month, Gordon said Spears engaged in "habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol." He ordered the pop star to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week as part of her ongoing custody dispute with Federline. Spears also was previously ordered to meet weekly with a "parenting coach" who was to observe and report back to the court about her parenting skills. Both Spears and Federline must complete the court's "Parenting Without Conflict" class. An MTV Video Music Awards performance last month meant to herald Spears' comeback was universally panned. The following week, Spears' management firm dropped her, and her divorce lawyer resigned. She then was charged with misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run and driving without a valid license in August.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM TUESDAY OCTOBER 2, 2007 PAGE 70 TUESDAY,OCTOBER 2,2007 PAGE7A EDITORIAL BOARD Fort Hays State University must keep its name History combined with popular support give meaning to the university's moniker We support the faculty and student body of Fort Hays State University in their protest against the "renaming" of their Alma Mater. Earlier this month, The Fort Hays State University's Committee to Review and Rethink the Structure of the University (FHSUCRRSU) presented a proposal that would in effect change the name of our neighbor to the far west to the "University of Western Kansas," on the grounds that "Fort Hays" hasn't been a U.S. Military fort since 1889 and no one outside the state of Kansas knows where Fort Hays is. One group of opponents has circulated a petition, gathering the signatures of 250 students who are against renaming the college. Students and staff obviously care a great deal about the name of their school when they put forth effort to maintain the status quo. Fie on you, FHSUCRRSU. In our opinion this trend of renaming universities smacks of stupidity. TUESDAY MORNING Of course, this wouldn't be the first time the college underwent a name change. Since its founding in 1902, the school has had numerous monikers, most of them much to long to put on T-shirts. At first, it was the Western Branch of the Kansas Normal School of Emporia. Then it became the Fort Hays Kansas Normal School in 1914 and then Kansas State Teachers College of Hays in 1923. When the awarding of liberal arts degrees was approved in 1931, the name was changed to Fort Hays State College. Finally, it was elevated to university status in 1977, thus becoming our beloved FHSU. A university's name is no small matter. It is an integral part of student identity. To arbitrarily put a point of a compass in a college's name is quite unimaginative and, in this case, it is ungrateful to the history of the locale. Besides being an important setting in the film "Dances With Wolves," Fort Hays was key in the defense of the construction of the transcontinental railway in the late 1860's. Its name should be invoked with pride. The university's title has a history associated with it, and the opinion of its students, faculty and staff should carry considerable weight when it comes to any name changes. It does no good to appeal to outsiders when insiders are dissatisfied. KU students would likely be equally upset if a name change were proposed here. Nomenclature is an important part of Fort Hays State University's history and identity. Leave it alone. DRAWING BOARD ADDING COVERAGE TO THE SCHIP PROGRAM IS A STEP TOWARDS SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! IF YOU DON'T LET US ADD FUNDING TO SCHIP, YOU'LL BE DEMONIZED IN THE PRESS! FRUIT FOR THOUGHT MAX RINKET Sports fans should show more pride in KU's success Even when playing cupcakes,the football team deserves more than the 'golf clap' MATT HIRSCHFELD The weekend before last, I had the opportunity to attend my first KU football game against Florida International. The weekend prior to my first KU game, I had the unfortunate experience of my first K-State game. Comparison was inevitable with such close proximity in time. After some first impressions and much deliberation afterward, shame on you Jayhawks. Shame on you. I've never been a diehard fan of the sport in general; I see it more as an occasional form of drunken entertainment rather than a weekend fixture. Both KU and K-State faced off against veritable high school teams, so the games were not on either side's "games to watch" list. That is no excuse, though, for piss poor fans. My friends at K-State are all very aware that I go to KU (and trust me, they don't let me forget it). Even though I was a stranger to K-State's some famous friend. The K-State crowd went crazy at every fumble, interception and touchdown. I've never seen more middle fingers fly up in the air in the course of one event. Their cheers were unoriginal in content but the enthusiasm the crowd put forth made them a K-State chant, not a cliché football chant. game chants and groans, they taught me every last one until I had them down pat. For a split second, I had a notion of what all the fuss was about. It could be assumed that the Jayhawks' record at the end of the season is not at the top of most students' priorities. It also could be said, though, that KU's pride is at the top of all students' main concern while attending college. When that pride is expressed through a "golf clap," it not only damages the spirits of KU's crowd was amused at best. There were some hardcore Jayhawkers in the crowd, but, in general, indifference seemed the crowd's greatest concern. Most would give an enthused yell when KU would score a touchdown or give a half-hearted boo when something did not go in KU's favor. Some, though, gave the half-assed "golf clap" and checked their phone to see if their other bored friend texted them back yet. the diehard football fanatics, it damages the spirit of the University. From an outsider looking in, those Wildcats have got us beat. There was one experience at the K-State game, though, that refutes the previous statement. Near the end of the Wildcats' video montage of the players and the team, there was footage of a pig wearing a K-State jersey with the American flag waving in the background. Sure, both KU and K-State jingle their keys (for reasons I am still unaware). And I was taken aback when KU chanted their "Rip their effin' heads off" cheer, but that was the most enthusiasm that could be observed throughout the entire game. Not to say that K-State doesn't lack class, but a pig's a pig in my book. Maybe the Jayhawks need to get drunken before the game or find other forms of stimulation to get more pumped, but on Oct. 6, I do not want to see KU get beat by a bunch of pig-lovin' farm boys. Hirschfeld is an Augusta ju nior in journalism. High tuition rates unfair to out-of-state students Decreasing tuition costs for non-Kansans would draw more applicants and increase revenue KIRSTEN HUDSON Last year, as a freshman living in the residence halls, I remember being shocked that so many of my fellow hallmates were from out-of-state. After seeing many out-of-state tuition prices, leaving Kansas had barely been an option for me. Yet, even as a Kansan with the much lower instate tuition price, I remember sharing in their outrage about out-of-state tuition. It seems highly unjust that the Missouri state border can mean a difference of thousands of dollars for the exact same education. In order to help out-ofstate students, a reduced tuition should be granted to nonresident students living within a certain distance of the University. According to a recent article by Christopher Morfew in the Chronicle of Higher Education, students are finding it "difficult, if not impossible, to attend public colleges and universities outside their states because those institutions are charging skyrocketing tuitions for nonresidents." This statement is certainly representative of KU. According to the KU Web site for this year, instate tuition is about $2,900 per semester, while out-of-state tuition is $7,700, more than double that of in-state. This huge gap between resident and nonresident prices seems slightly ridiculous when some out-of-state students live so close to the University. Sometimes for students the closest university is in fact in another state, and public universities should account for this fact. State borders are dividing lines, but they are not walls splitting apart our country. We are all one unit. Therefore state borders should not be obstacles for students. Article 4, Section 2 of the Constitution states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." One of those privileges should be higher education. Universities should not use state borders as a way to exploit students. Even if a student wanted to try to avoid these outrageous out-of-state tuition prices by establishing residency in a new state, it is very difficult to do so. In fact, it is practically impossible to establish residency for tuition purposes while going to school. Many states, including Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri and Kansas all require that you live in the state for twelve months before attending school. Only after that time can you claim in-state tuition. If money is the problem (when is money not a problem), giving out-of-state students reduced tuition would not have to create money issues for the University. According to Mike Pitts, director of admissions at East Tennessee State University, when the university first started offering tuition breaks for out-of-state students within various counties of Virginia and North Carolina, the school needed 130 students in order to not lose money. Some 184 new students ended up enrolling, giving the university a much larger profit than in previous years. In this way, KU could in fact benefit from charging certain out-of-state students a reduced tuition rate. Being so close to the Missouri border, many students at KU are affected by the costly out-state-tuition price. While I am not one of them, I can't help but feel guilty about the injustice of the fact that I am receiving the same education as other students for half the price. After all, these students may not be Kansans, but each one is as much of a Jayhawk as I am. Hudson is a Wichita sophomore in journalism and business.

Smith 8A SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY HARRY KANSAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2007 FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A) "We're trying to present as many problems as we can with different personnel groups and different schemes," Warinner said. "Our phi- iosophy is to take what the defense gives us, and that's what we're trying to do." THE PIECES Reesing has plenty of versatile receivers and backs to whom he can distribute the ball. Senior tight All the creative schemes and tricky formations in the world would not be much good with- he's working well for us right now" "We're trying to present as many problems as we can with different personnel groups and different schemes." out versatile personnel — something Kansas has in spades, starting with the quarterback. The only predictable quality to sophomore Todd Reesing's 2007 season has been his ability to make plays. How he makes those plays changes regularly. In his starting debut against Central Michigan, Reesing did damage with his arm, completing 20 of his 29 pass attempts. Two weekends ago against Florida International, Reesing got the job done with his legs, rushing for 47 yards and a touchdown. Both Mangino and Warinner said Reesing had exceeded their expectations this season. ED WARINNER Offensive coordinator "Todd's playing pretty well right now," Warinner said. "He's done a good job. He has a good feel and is comfortable within the system so end Derek Fine is not flashy, but he is one of the Big 12 Conference's best because of his ability to catch the ball — he has 16 receptions in 2007 — and to provide blocks for the running game. Senior wide receiver Marcus Henry, who stands 6-foot-5, has reeled in 21 receptions and gained nearly 19 yards per catch while showing steady improvements. "I think if you look at Marcus the last couple of years, he's been a reliable guy," Mangino said. "He's just gotten a lot stronger and developed a lot of confidence. He's always been a solid guy, but this year he knows it's his last opportunity and he's making the most of it." Once the pass sets up the run, Kansas has two solid options. Sophomore running back Jake Sharp and senior running back Brandon McAnderson have split the load almost evenly and have proven to be hard to contain. Each is averaging more than six yards per carry and is on pace for more than 1,200 rushing yards THE PRODUCTION this season. Warriner and the coaching staff evaluated the pieces they had to work with on the Kansas roster, drew up a plan to best utilize those pieces and are now reaping the reward for their labor — the offensive production. The Jayhawks offensive numbers indicate a level of proficiency that is difficult to comprehend. Kansas is ranked 12th nationally in rushing yards per game, 10th in passing yards per game and third in total yards per game. The Jayhawks have scored the fourth most points per game in the nation and boast the 18th-ranked turnover margin. Individually, Reesing is ranked 10th in the country in passing efficiency, and Henry is 13th in receiving yards per game. Has Warinner's arrival lived up to expectations? The blowout victories and the smile on Warinner's face say yes. "It's very rewarding," Warinner said. "It's what Coach and I talked about doing when I came in — we felt that if we could get all of our ideas on the field and get the right guys in the right situations we could be pretty effective. At this point, we're pretty pleased with where we're at." Edited by Tara Smith The basketball team is having a meeting at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct.10, in Hadi Auditorium for walk-on tryouts.

RECRUITING UPDATE Greg Monroe, the consensus No. 1 player in the class of 2008, dropped Kansas from his list of choices, according to JayhawkSlant.com. Monroe's top five schools are now Connecticut, Louisiana State, Duke, Texas and Georgetown. Kansas still has only one verbal commitment, Travis Releford, for the 2008 class. Mark Dent football notebook IN THE POLLS The big upheaval that took place among top-25 teams during the weekend shifted the Jayhawks' standing in both major polls. Kansas received three votes in the AP poll this week, down from six last week, placing the team in a tie for 40th. In the USA Today Coaches poll, Kansas gained ground by earning 48 votes, up from last week's total of 20, placing it 28th in the rankings. USA Today's Sagarin computer rankings did not shuffle Kansas too far, moving the team from 38th to 33rd. The computer ranking system, which takes strength of schedule and margin of victory into account, ranks the Jayhawks' strength of schedule as the worst of the 119 FBS teams. HISTORY A FACTOR Kansas not only will be facing a talented Kansas State team this weekend, but the Jayhawks also will have to overcome history. The Wildcats moved into the 24th spot in the AP Top 25 poll last Sunday. This might not bode well for the Jayhawks, considering Kansas is 23-137 2 all-time against Mangino at Kansas State since then and 0-7 against ranked Wildcat teams. Kansas coach Mark Mangino's road record could be the most substantial historical hurdle. Under Mangino, Kansas is 4-21 as the visiting team and 2-18 in Big 12 Conference road games. SUNFLOWER SHOWDOWN Although Saturday's game is sold out, Kansas fans will be able to catch the 11 a.m. contest on Fox Sports Net, Sunflower Broadband channel 36. This is the third consecutive season and the eighth time that the game has appeared on TV Kansas State holds a 6-2 advantage in the televised games. CRIME Asher Fusco University of Memphis athlete murdered on campus BYWOODY BAIRD ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Classes at the University of Memphis were canceled Monday after a football player was fatally shot on campus in what school officials said was a targeted attack but city police later said could have been random. By late Monday afternoon police had not identified any suspects in the slaying of Taylor Bradford, who was shot about 9:45 p.m. Sunday, apparently near a university housing complex. After the shooting, the 21-yearold junior crashed a car he was driving into a tree. Police said they had not determined whether he was shot before or after he started driving the vehicle. Police were responding to a car crash when Bradford was found slumped over in the vehicle on a campus street about 200 yards from his apartment complex. "It wasn't until the paramedics got there that they determined there was a possible gunshot wound," said Bruce Harber, director of university police. He was apparently shot once, police said, though an autopsy was pending. University President Shirley Raines said authorities quickly determined Bradford's killers were not a threat to other students but still banned all outsiders from campus housing throughout the night.

Memphis head coach Tommy West said. "He was well respected and a popular member of our team." The Memphis Tigers host Marshall University on Tuesday night, and a moment of silence was planned before the game. "We really don't know whether it was a random act or whether or not this individual was targeted," he said. Godwin said witnesses saw two unidentified men running from the area where investigators believe the shooting occurred and other witnesses reported hearing gunfire. "We feel like the campus is safe, but we'd rather err on the side of safety than not," spokesman Curt Guenther said. The university, which is primarily a commuter campus, still decided to cancel classes. The University of Memphis had 20,562 students enrolled for last fall, according to its Web site. City police, who are handling the case because it is a homicide investigation, expressed less certainty that Bradford, a 5-foot-11, 300-pound defensive lineman, was a junior who transferred to Memphis last year after two seasons at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. The Nashville resident was to have begun playing for the Tigers this season. "Everything I've heard about him ... he was just a good kid," Godwin said. Godwin said investigators had no evidence that Bradford was involved in any illegal activity.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2007 SPORTS VOLLEYBALL 9A Uhart returns after surgery BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Natalie Uhart is back. Again. Those five words have become a familiar chorus to Uhart, a senior Uhart. Uhart Injuries and medical issues have plagued a career that has spanned five years and two schools - Uhart played her first three years at P Long Beach State University, starting in 2003. The latest medical episode ended last Wednesday when Uhart returned to the floor after missing ten matches to receive treatment for a congenital heart defect. Uhart made an immediate impact during Kansas' loss to No. 1 Nebraska. The Lansing native had 7 kills and 2 digs against the Huskers. "I am excited about putting this all behind me," Uhart said in a statement issued by the Athletics Department. Uhart first became ill during Kansas' match at Michigan State on Aug. 31. According to the press release, Uhart suffered from dizziness and weakness, and she was hospitalized in Lansing, Mich. Doctors diagnosed Uhart with a congenital heart defect called a patent foramen ovale, or PEO. Uhart underwent surgery on Sept. 12 to repair the heart defect. "I made the decision to have the surgery because I wanted to be able to play to my full potential during every match without reservation," she said. The heart defect is the third medical obstacle Uhart has overcome in the past four years. After transferring before last season, Uhart suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the team's preseason alumna match and missed the entire season. Uhart also ruptured her patellar tendon during her sophomore season at Long Beach State and missed eight months. Uhart still has another year of eligibility after this season. She was granted a medical hardship waiver by the Big West conference after only playing in five games in 2005 and was issued a medical redshirt after not playing last season. "She has overcome a lot since joining us, and we know she will be a force for us in Big 12 action," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said in the statement. Kansas is 9-6, 2-3 in the Big 12, and Uhart's presence at middle blocker should help Kansas during its final 15 conference matches as the Jayhawks try to return to the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in what's a PFO? Uhart suffered from a patent foramen ovale. It's a hole in the heart's septum, which is the membrane dividing the upper chambers of the heart, said Larry Magee, team physician for Kansas Athletics. Uhart's Sept. 12 surgery closed the hole. "Everyone has the hole before they are born. It usually closes at birth or soon after; for about 20 percent of the population, it doesn't. Most people who have a PFO have no symptoms or problems." Magee said in a statement issued by the Athletics Department. Magee said that a small percentage of people with a PFO would experience symptoms that could be made worse with intense exercise. Symptoms include dizziness and weakness. five years. "There's nothing I want more than to help this team get back to the NCAA tournament," Uhart said. — Edited by Matt Erickson sisters played the game. Martinicinjoined a club team in fifth grade, but it was at about the seventh or eighth grade that her father noticed something different about his daughter. Martinicch played nearly every sport growing up, but after awhile, softball and basketball starting taking a backseat to volleyball. "Even though it was softball or basketball season, she was still picking up the volleyball and saying 'Dad, let's go play.' Eric Martinicch said. MARTINCICH (CONTINUED FROM 12A) By the time she reached Bishop Miege High School, she began to realize that her future would include playing college volleyball. And that meant Kansas was her No. 1 choice. Martinicich led Bishop Miege to three-straight Kansas 5A volleyball titles during her sophomore, junior and senior seasons. But Martinicich decorated high school career reached far beyond her volleyball accolades. Martinicich was named the Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year during her senior season but also excelled in the classroom, finishing fourth in her senior class with a 4.57 GPA. So it makes sense that her father has a hard time finding a single flaw in his daughter. "She's pretty close to perfection. She strives so hard in everything she does," Eric Martincich said. "She's so competitive, maybe to a fault." When Martinicch arrived on campus in 2005, she quickly found out that she would have to wait FRESHMAN GROWING PAINS one more year for her dream to become reality. Martincich, a setter, was behind senior Andi Rozum, Kansas' all-time leader in assists, on the depth chart. Bechard thought there would be too few opportunities for Martincich to play. Bechard decided to make Martinich a redshirt her first year. The all-everything player in high school was back at the bottom. "That's a tough thing to do," senior setter Emily Brown said. "To go through practice, go through weights, go through conditioning and know that you aren't going to get to play." Martincich said she remembered many times when her roommate and fellow freshman Savannah Noyes had to endure her gripping. "It was frustrating because you go from playing all the time in high school and you're coming off three state titles, and then you have to go back to having to watch again," Martincich said. "But looking back, it seems worth it now." It definitely seemed worth it last year as Martinicich recorded one of the best seasons by a freshman setter in Kansas history. Martinicich's 2006 season total of 1,193 assists was the eighth highest in school history. With 248 assists this season, she has climbed to seventh all-time at Kansas with 1,441. Coach Bechard likes to point out similarities between a volleyball setter and basketball point guard. A setter, like a point guard, is responsible for distributing the ball, leading the offense and making quick decisions. And like a point guard in basketball, setters are often overlooked. A fan is more likely to notice the player finishing the dunk than the point guard who set him up, just as a fan is going to notice the player hitting the monster kill, not the setter who put the ball in perfect position. AN OVERLOOKED POSITION Kansas changed from a one-setter system last year to a two-setter system this season. Martincich and Brown are sharing the load at the position, and although the system change has cut into Martincich's assist totals and court-time — her assist-per-game total is down to 4.51 — she has embraced her new role. "I feel like when I'm not playing I can refocus and come off the bench re-energized and provide a spark," Martinich said. Martinicich's reckless abandon on the court and quiet determination off of it has caught the attention of her teammates. "She'll come in looking almost like a zombie. She's got the backbrace on, fighting through stuff, and she still is going 110 percent," Brown said. But that's how Martincich has always done it. And if you travel to the Horejsi Family Athletics Center this season to watch a Kansas home game, you'll see the same thing. There will be Katie Martincich, quietly going all out, the time and living out her dream. NFL Edited by Jeff Briscoe Patriots shine in every way against Bengals Brady tosses three touchdowns, two to Moss, who had 102 yards on the night BY JOE KAY ASSOCIATED PRESS Expect anything less? CINCINNATI (AP) - Tom Brady had three more touchdown passes. Sammy Morris had one of the best games of his career. The New England defense had its way. And, they've only just begun. The Patriots remained one of the NFLs four unbeaten teams Monday night — and, so far, the best of the bunch — by beating the Cincinnati Bengals 34-13 with a performance that showed their versatility. New England (4-0) is off to its best start since 2004, when it won the Super Bowl for the third time in four years. An offense energized by the addition of receivers Randy Moss, Donte' Stallworth and Wes Welker showed it can grind it out, too. Especially against a team like the Bengals (1-3), who had trouble just getting a defense on the field — and counting to 11 while they were at it. Moss caught a pair of touchdown passes, and Morris ran for 117 yards, giving the Patriots more than enough on a night when they didn't need a whole lot. Cincinnati was missing middle linebackers Ahmad Brooks and Caleb Miller, leaving a big hole in one of the league's worst defenses. When Lemar Marshall hurt an Achilles' tendon in the first quarter, the Bengals moved rookie safety Chinedum Ndukwe into a linebacker's spot. The Patriots had more linebackers in their offenses on goal-line plays than the Bengals had in their defense on many plays. And one of them - Mike Vrabel - caught a 1-yard touchdown pass in a Super Bowl flashback. Missing their top runner didn't slow the Patriots. Morris, an eighth-year journeyman playing for his third team, got to take center stage because Laurence Maroney was out with a strained groin. He had the second 100-yard game of his career, including a 7-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-1 put the Patriots in control in the third quarter. Morris' 49-yard run — the second-longest of his career — set up Brady's 1-yard touchdown pass to Vrabel, who has nine career catches, all for touchdowns. Two of them have come in the Patriots' Super Bowl wins. Brady, the two-time Super Bowl MVP, didn't have to do anything sensational in an offense that could grind it out against a depleted defense. He was 25-of-32 for 231 yards with the touchdown pass to Vrabel and two to Moss. Brady has had many great moments for the Patriots, but has never been this good for this long. He leads the league with 13 touchdown passes, his best total in any four-game span of his career. The NFL's most efficient passer made an uncharacteristically sloppy mistake, forcing a third-down throw for only his second interception of the season. That set up Carson Palimer's 1-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Houshmandzadeh. That's the only one they would get. Late in the third quarter, the crowd of 66,113 — the largest ever to see a Bengals game in Cincinnati — started filing out, sensing the futility. The Bengals fell into last place in the AFC North heading into their bye week. Palmer had words with Chad Johnson when the Pro Bowl receiver ran the wrong route, resulting in Asante Samuel's interception near the goal line late in the first half. They had more words on the sideline, and Johnson was still jawing at the Pro Bowl MVP quarterback as they left the field at halftime. And they didn't go there gracefully. It got worse. The Bengals stopped a third-down run, but were penalized for having 12 men on the field. The penalty set up a fourth-quarter field goal that extended an amazing streak of consistency: New England has scored in every quarter this season and its last 36 overall. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady signals a touchdown in the first quarter of Monday night game in Cincinnati. Brady threw three touchdowns in the Patriots' 14-13 victory.

Al Oerter was just that. Oerter passed away early Monday morning at the age of 71. I would guess most KU students have never heard of Al Oerter. That's not surprising. It's been nearly 50 years since Oerter left his Kansas track-and-field career behind in 1958. And Oerter was a discus thrower, not exactly the most glamorous of track events. But Oerter is more than just a name in the record books or a face in old, grainy photographs. He is one of the most dominating athletes in the history of the Olympics. Four different times at four different Olympics, Oerter showed the world that a Jayhawk could do something that nobody had done in the history of the Olympics. Oerter became the first person in history to win gold medals in four straight Olympics in the same event. To this date, only fellow American track-and-field legend Carl Lewis has equaled the feat. But Oerter did something Carl Lewis couldn't do. Each time Oerter won the gold — from the 1956 Melbourne Olympics through the 1968 Mexico City games — Oerter set a new Olympic discus record. If Wilt Chamberlain, Danny Manning, Gale Sayers and Lynette Woodard are the faces on the Mount Rushmore of Kansas athletes, then Al Oerter deserves to be chiseled in stone right next to them. There's a story told by former Kansas broadcaster Tom Hedrick about Al Oerter. Hedrick was Oerter's chapter advisor when Oerter was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at Kansas. It was a cool fall day in 1957, and Hedrick was hanging around the football practice field where Oerter was practicing the discus that day. "I turn around," Hedrick said, "And I don't know how to put this, other than to say I saw a young man and a young women necking in the bleachers." Hedrick figured he ought to put a stop to the young love birds. "Hey," he yelled to the couple. "You better stop that or Oerter is bound to put one right in your lap." "What are you talking about," the young man responded angrily. "Who does he think he think he is, the Olympic champ?" When I found out about Oersters passing, I felt compelled to make a journey to the Bootee Family Hall of Athletics at Allen Fieldhouse and take an Oerter history lesson. The statistics on this larger-than-life athlete are jaw dropping. Oerter was a two-time national champion in the discus and a two-time All-American. Oerter was a seven-time conference champion and more importantly, during Oerter's four years at Kansas, the track team won every indoor and outdoor track event. "Well," Hedrick said smiling, "As a matter of fact he is." Standing in the silence of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics, I began to look around. Here is a nearly new facility, oozing with KU sports history. Yet, except for basketball games, I hardly ever see students take a few moments to journey into this oasis of KU tradition. So, if you find yourself walking by Allen Fieldhouse, and you have a few minutes to spare, go inside the Booth Family Hall of Athletics and immerse your history in history. You can learn about Oerter. You can learn about the other great KU Olympians. You can learn about the story of former basketball player Charlie Black, who went off to fight in World War II and then came back to Kansas and was named All-American. There are thousands of stories in this place. And Al Oerter's Story is too good to miss. Edited by Jeff Briscoe adidas Sarah Leonard/XANSAN Both Katie Martinick and volleyball coach Ray Bechard knew Martinick was right for KU before she graduated from high school. Martinick has proved her worth by closing on Kansas volleyball records and inspiring her teammates with tremendous effort. Holding nothing back Go get 'em player inspires teammates with effort BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Sometimes one play can define a player. For Kansas sophomore setter Katie Martincich that play came earlier this year against Kansas State. With Kansas trailing in its conference opener, a Kansas State player tipped a ball over the net toward the line referee's platform chair. Within a moment, Martincich was diving face-first into the metal chair, sacrificing her body to save the point for Kansas. Fighting off a grimace, Martincich popped to her feet, re-strapped the bulky back-brace that she has worn all season and went back to work. That's just how Martinicch plays: all out, all the time. And because all she wanted to do since she first picked up a volleyball was play at Kansas, a little pain was no problem. "I've been a Jayhawk fan since I was four years old," Martincich said. "I told him I'd take it right there," Martinicin said. "Then he said, 'Don't you want to talk to anybody about it,' and I was like, 'Nope, I want it.'" When Kansas coach Ray Bechard offered Martinicich a scholarship before her junior year at Bishop Miege High School in Roeland Park, Martinicich thought about it for about two seconds. family is serious about its love for Kansas. The family's answering machine belts out the Kansas fight song, and Martincich's father, Eric, is quick to point out that his wife and three daughters all have attended Kansas. And just like for all jayhawk families, the winter is dedicated to Kansas basketball. If you call the Martincín household in Shawnee, you'll start to understand that the "I think Katie and I have gone to maybe two movies together, but we've been to more than a hundred basketball games," Eric Martinicch said. Martinicich's journey to Kansas sounds like a familiar story. It began with Martinicich sitting on the sideline practicing while her older SEE MARTINCICH ON PAGE 9A MEN'S BASKETBALL Boot camp challenges players, unifies team BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Chase Buford has only heard stories about the end of boot camp. Horror stories. "I think that's been on everyone's mind for the last month or so." Buford said. "It's The freshman guard experienced tough conditioning drills throughout his high school career, but judging by what other players have told him, none of them will prepare him for the last few days of boot camp. going to be rough, but everyone gets through it. I'm sure there will be times when I think I won't, but I try not to think about it too much." The last days of boot camp, which could be anytime from Buford Wednesday to Friday depending on how Kansas coach Bill Self thinks the team has performed, include timed sprinting drills that practically induce leg cramps just by the sound of their names. Players must complete 20 "22s" and 30 suicides in a certain amount of time. A 22 is when players run the length of the court and back twice in a row in under 20 seconds. They do it 20 times and get about a 19-second rest in between each one. Yikes. Suicides, as the name implies, arent much easier. Players start at the base line, then sprint to the free throw line and back. Then to the half-court line and back. Then to the opposite free throw line and back. Finally to the opposite base line and back. Renew 30 times. "Definitely the last two days are the hardest things to do," senior center Sasha Kaun said. "Twenty 22s and 30 suicides - it not just the physical, but things are mentally tough. When you hear 30 suicides, you just think 'wow, that's not even possible." This is especially true considering the amount of running the Jayhawks have already done. Boot camp started eight days ago, and Self has put them through conditioning drills every weekday morning since. FOOTBALL "By the last two days we've already been through hell," senior guard Jeremy Case said. "Your legs just tighten up and your sides start hurting. That's when it becomes mental. You have to tell your body you can do it, and you're not hurting." As hard as the drills are, the players know Self isn't just torturing them. Case said the last days of boot camp make the team feel more complete. "We all have to rely on each other," he said. "If somebody doesn't make their time, we all have to run again. If somebody misses a block-out during a game, we all lose. So it helps everybody understand that each individual has to carry their own weight or the whole team loses." — Edited by Elizabeth Cattell Pieces fall into place for new high-scoring, pass-first offense BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com BY ASHER FUSCO anticipated movie live up to its hype or an eagerly-awaited album completely satisfy listeners. Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner's return to Kansas could have easily fallen short of the expectations of lavwhawk fans Great expectations tend to carry quite a bit of weight. Rarely does a much- PETER R. KOCHMAN Warinner Fortunately for those fans, the offensive scheme Warinner introduced has lived THE PLAN Kansas' offensive philosophy this season has taken a turn from that of years past. Last season, the Jayhawk offense relied on running back Jon Cornish to carry much of the load. He answered the call admirably, rushing for a school record 1,457 yards and scoring five touchdowns. With Cornish departing for the Canadian Football League, Kansas was left with no feature back. Warinner, who came to Kansas from Illinois, and the coaching staff devised a plan for 2007: Kansas would use the pass to set up Category 2006 2007 Points per game 29 53.5 Yards per rush 4.8 5.5 Yards per pass 6.5 9.4 Total yards per game 374 553 offensive comparison its running game. "Our offense is one that provides an opportunity to run the ball because we throw the ball well — that's going to be our philosophy," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said several weeks before the season. The idea has worked precisely as planned so far. Though Kansas has run the ball on 54 percent of its offensive plays, the team is averaging nearly 10 yards per pass attempt. Kansas has been able to establish its passing game early, grab a large lead and run all it wants in the second half. The Jayhawks challenge opposing defenses by lining up in a variety of different formations, including four-wide receiver sets and creative three-wide receiver sets such as "triplets" or "diamond," in which three or four receivers bunch together on one side of the field and burst in all directions at the snap of the ball. --- SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 8A 9 THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN HAWKS CAPTURE TITLE >> PAGE 1B SHOWDOWN DETAILS FAMILIAR >> PAGE 1B MLS GAINS RESPECT >> PAGE 1B WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 118 ISSUE 35 HAWKS CAPTURE TITLE >> PAGE 1B HAWKS CAPTURE TITLE >> PAGE 1B SHOWDOWN DETAILS FAMILIAR >> PAGE 1B MLS GAINS RESPECT >> PAGE 1B WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM 10 VOLUME 118 ISSUE 35 CAMPUS Princeton Review Princeton Review left the University off the 2008 rankings of best party schools The party's over: KU falls from list BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com It's 3 p.m. Friday.

Friday afternoon and more people are reading books than drinking beers — isn't there something wrong with this picture? was No. 9 in the country, Sports Illustrated listed Kansas in its top 10 in the mid-90s. Actually, no. The University of Kansas has fallen from its place among the top party schools in the country. Kansas is nowhere to be found in recent rankings from Princeton Review Now the party's over. Princeton Review left Kansas off its 2008 top 20 list. Playboy didn't include the University in its 2006 top 10. CollegeHumor.com didn't even put Kansas in its top 50 list made in 2006. The list did include Missouri and Kansas State. "The gist of it is the higher amount of drug and alcohol use and fewer study hours per day make for a better party school." Princeton Review ranks the top 366 colleges ADRINDA KELLY Senior Editor, Princeton Review the top 500 colleges every year in 62 categories, including partying. Adrinda Kelly, senior editor, said Princeton Review surveyed 120,000 students and asked them about the popularity of alcohol and drugs, numbers of hours spent studying and population of Greek students to decide which schools were the best at partying. Princeton Review tallied the responses to make and CollegeHumor.com. Students question the accuracy of the rankings, but the administration isn't exactly wiping away tears knowing the school isn't nationally known for partying. Kansas used to be a mainstay on the list of top party schools. Playboy placed Kansas No. 26 in 1987. In Playboy's second list in 2002. Kansas 1. West Virginia University 2.

"The gist of it is the higher amount of drug and alcohol use and fewer study hours per day make for a better party school," Kelly said. Recent trends show why the University hasn't met the criteria for top party schools.

Toddhunter said this event was even more open and honest. Panelists answered questions ranging from how they came out and told their parents, how they dealt with personal questions, and their religious beliefs.

But it was not to be. About 40 minutes into a touring company's performance of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)," a Higley Unified School District official halted the show Monday at a performing arts center. "We stopped the show because we feel that this was inappropriate," said Tara Kissane, the district's director of visual and performing arts. She declined to give specifics but said "there was inappropriate language and the content was very suggestive." "I just thought it was over some of our kids' heads and it wasn't appropriate for our kids," Kissane said. She added she thought the show would be fine for college-age students. The play was produced by a New York-based touring company, Windwood Theatricals. Paul Bartz, the producer, said he was surprised to learn the performance was stopped. take on the daunting task of performing 37 plays and 154 sonnets in under two hours, illuminating the world of Shakespeare through the use of football, swordplay and hip-hop music." A version ran off-Broadway in 2001-2002. "it's a matter of interpretation, but they're surely not seeing anything on that stage that they're not seeing on television," Bartz said Tuesday. "You might like it to a 'Saturday Night Live' sketch on Shakespeare." Thinking about the early parts of the play, Bartz said,"The only thing I can think of that she might have found objectionable is that there is the use of the word penis, twice."He said if Kissane had objections, the cast could have made adjustments, but they weren't given the char- Bartz said his own middle school-aged children saw a video of the original production in class, and as a parent he had no problem with it.

Three actors Cleveland fights blight tears down repaired house The house had been painted and repairs had been made to the roof, gutters and foundation. But city officials said they had no idea it was being fixed up because the owner, Wells Fargo Bank of Minnesota, had not filed permits for the renovation. CLEVELAND — A house that had recently undergone more than $19,000 in repairs was torn down last month as part of a city campaign against urban blight. All that's left is a vacant lot. "My client bears some blame too," said James Sassaro, the bank's lawyer. "But a little common sense would have gone a long way. Why would they tear down a house after seeing it was in good condition?" As part of an effort to end blight Cleveland has adopted an aggressive demolition strategy, said Ed Rybka, the city's building and housing director. Rybka did not immediately return a call Tuesday seeking further detail on the house's demolition. Wells Fargo had foreclosed on the property, and in August Housing Court Judge Raymond Pianka threatened a $20,000 fine if the bank didn't fix the code violations. The bank hired contractors, and a neighborhood group hoped to buy the house and finish the renovation. Pianka said. Now, Wells Fargo will probably give the lot to the city. Sassano said A crew last May knocked down a house even though a councilman asked that it be taken off the wrecking list and a prospective buyer had done some repairs. Rybka said he was not aware of the councilman's request. Man builds secret room in mall garage for project PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The leader of an artists' cooperative has been sentenced to probation for setting up a secret apartment inside a shopping mall's parking garage as part of a project on mall life. Michael Townsend, 36, said he and seven other artists built the 750-square-foot apartment beginning in 2003 and lived there for up to three weeks at a time. The artists built a cinderblock wall and nondescript utility door to keep the loft hidden from the outside world. But inside, the apartment was fully furnished, down to a hutch filled with china and a Sony Playstation 2 — although a burglar broke in and stole the Playstation last spring, Townsend said. There was no running water instead they used the mall bathrooms. On his Web site, Townsend said he was inspired by a Christmastime ad for the mall which featured a "an enthusiastic female voice talking about how great it would be if you (we) could live at the mail." He built the dwelling "out of a compassion to understand the mall more and life as a shopper." Townsend said plans to make the apartment "super-sweet" with laminated wood flooring and other perks fell apart last week after he and a visiting artist from Hong Kong walked into the room and were greeted by three security guards. He pleaded no contest to a trespassing charge. Providence Place Mall spokesman Dante Bellini Jr. described the living space as little more than "an area with stuff in it." But Providence Police Maj. Stephen Campbell said he and other detectives were so intrigued they visited the apartment to see for themselves. "I was surprised at what he was able to accomplish," Campbell said. "But what he did was clearly criminal. The mall is private property." Associated Press on campus The University of Kansas second annual Breast Cancer Awareness Week continues all day.

A man who broke into a home but was chased away by a barking dog left his boots behind, police said, and he was arrested when an officer saw him walking hoofless. John Lyles climbed through the home's window around 4 a.m. Friday and took off his boots, probably so he wouldn't make any noise while sneaking around, police said. But the homeowners' dog started growling and barking at him, they said, and he ran away empty-handed — and barefoot. Later that morning, an officer spotted Lyles walking without shoes in a nearby apartment building hallway, questioned him and arrested him, police said. Lyles, 36, was charged with second-degree burglary, a felony. There was no telephone listing for Lyles at the Mount Vernon home address provided by police. A telephone message left for a John Lyles at a different address in the city was not immediately returned Monday night, and another number was no longer in service.

KU UNIVERSITY THEATRE The University of Kansas KANSAS STUDENT SENATE . . THE UNIVERSITY OF DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2007 NEWS 3A PARTY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) ranked Kansas as one of the best-value schools in its 2008 edition. U.S. News and World Report gave Kansas its highest ranking this year since 2002 on the list of Top Public National Universities. As far as drinking goes, campus and city police have tried to curb underage drinking by focusing on football tailgates this fall. During the weekend of Sept. 21-23, Lawrence police combined with the Kansas Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to issue 84 citations for minors in possession of alcohol and 33 citations for public consumption. The majority of fraternity houses on campus still allow alcohol, but when fraternities host major parties, the alcohol must be supplied by a third party vendor to gain approval from the Interfraternity Council. That rule has only been in place since the 1990s. The surge in academic rankings and crackdown on alcohol consumption is fine with the KU administration. Jill Jess, University spokeswoman, said the University would rather promote its academic reputation. "It's not a list we give much credence to," she said about party school rankings. "We think it obscures our academic reputation. We are just pleased with how we did rank as one of the best values of top academic schools." Kansas' exclusion from the lists and the inclusion of Kansas State and Missouri surprised students who were interviewed. But most of them didn't worry about the rank. Jared Goff, a Leawood junior, goes out twice a week and usually has fun. "I just look for a good time with my friends," he said. "And I usually find it. I don't think the rankings going down mean anything." - Edited by Rachael Gray CAMPUS Student housing fees may rise ResNet proposes an increased fee for improvements and larger bandwidth BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com Students who plan to live on campus next year may see an increase in housing and ResNet fees. The Student Advisory Board is scheduled to vote tomorrow on the issue of residence hall improvements. Voting could be delayed until later next week. If the improvement proposal passes, housing and ResNet fees would increase next fall. Some students who live in scholarship halls think increasing fees is unfair. Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said she thought there had been some confusion among students about the proposals. Robertson said the department of student housing received no state funding and proposing new rates was a process the department goes through each year. The proposal calls for a $162 increase for a traditional double room, the most common room found in scholarship halls. Residence halls could see a $212 increase. "We operate off the funds we take in. We have no profit motive, we just want all housing facilities to run efficiently," Robertson said. Garrett Kelly, Tonganoxie sophomore and resident of Pearson scholarship hall, said the increased fee boils down to ethics. Kelly said the proposals looked good on paper but weren't fair when considering all the facts. "You have to realize scholarship halls for the most part are the oldest and most decrepit buildings on campus, and that we work around five hours a week either cooking meals or cleaning bathrooms," Kelly said. "These main hours aren't taken into any calculation whatsoever in furniture such as beds and update the halls". Robertson said. Robertson said new kitchen cabinets in Miller-Watkins Hall was an example of where the money goes. She said that full-scale renovations for certain halls were in the process. "We operate off the funds we take in. We have no profit motive,we just want all housing facilities to run efficiently." determining costs for the scholarship halls. We feel there will be no advantage or draw for anyone to live in these wonderful and unique halls." Robertson said Student Housing understood and valued scholarship halls. She said fees may have to increase to provide necessary repair for the halls. DIANA ROBERTSON Director of student housing ResNet is also proposing an increase in fees to help improve "We are doing additional projects students aren't aware of. We buy new problems in scholarship and residential halls. services. "1 n order to improve ResNet we have to bring in revenues. There is no real way of avoiding cost increases," said Bill Myers, director of assessment for information Myers said ResNet is in the process of bringing wireless internet access to residential and scholarship halls, but bandwidth is the issue being focussed on. "A lot of universities block Web sites like YouTube and MySpace to save bandwidth, but we don't want to do that," Myers said. "We want to have a larger bandwidth so students can continue to stream off YouTube and sites with big bandwidth, and the cost raise will help allow us to do that." Myers estimated a $125 increase per semester would allow ResNet to focus on improving its infrastructure, which would cost about $3 million. Cooper Alton, Topeka, senior, who lives in Pearson Hall, said students living in the scholarship halls had more of an issue with the ResNet increased fee because it isn't necessary. He thought it would take away from the community aspect of living in the scholarship halls. "The ResNet fee increase in particular, is harder to understand. It is supposedly going to provide for updating the internet system here, installing cable in every room, and working towards wireless internet," Alton said. "If the administration were to take a poll of scholarship hall students, however, I think they would find that a significant portion of us don't want most of these improvements." The Student Advisory Board will meet tomorrow afternoon and are scheduled to vote on the proposals, although voting may be delayed until next week. - Edited by Rachael Gray 》 ENVIRONMENT Center for Sustainability seeks award nominees BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com The KU Center for Sustainability is currently seeking nominations for the Sustainability Leadership Awards. They are accepting nominations for individuals in three categories: students, faculty and staff. Recycle and be recognized. A new award will honor those at the University of Kansas who promote environmental, economic and social responsibility. "We want to use this award as a way to recognize these people and highlight some great efforts being made on campus," said Jeff Severin, director of the KU Center for Sustainability. Severin said nominees in the student category could be those who have made a wide variety of efforts to uphold conservation values. "If they've shown leadership in campus issues or in the community, or even if they've done a class project that could have an impact on environmental issues, they should be nominated," he said. Severin also said that faculty members should be nominated for a wide range of accomplishments, especially if their research can be applied on a global scale. "If faculty members have made an impact on students in such a way that they empower students to take action, they should be recognized," he said. A category for University staff members will also recognize employees who have done anything to encourage waste reduction or energy conservation. This is the first year that such an award will be presented at the University. The winners will be announced during events on Oct. 24 as part of Campus Sustainability Day, Stacey White, director of academic programs at the KU Center for Sustainability, said that she was excited to see what kind of actions the nominations would recognize. "We define making a difference quite broadly," she said. "Everyone from students who sponsor environmental legislation to staff members who carpool could be nominated. There will probably be a learning process when we find out what others think sustainability means." Campus Sustainability Day is a nationwide event, but White said the center wanted to focus more on accomplishments at Kansas rather than those of other universities. On that day, various presentations and discussions will take place surrounding the University's efforts toward conservation. KU Dining will give a presentation on their goals for improving their sustainability, and professors will discuss their research in biofuels and other projects. "It will be a potpourri of presentations and discussions that will help those interested in these issues to find a place to plug in," White said. White said the center had received 20 nominations so far. She said she was surprised to have received so many nominations since this was the first year for the awards. "I think it's great we have 20 already for something right out of the chute," she said. Nomination forms can be found at www.sustainability.ku.edu/ awards.shtml.

Bradford, 21, who was pronounced dead in a hospital, apparently was shot near a university housing complex in what police first believed was a targeted attack. Classes were canceled Monday as a precaution. BY WOODY BAIRD ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Students at the University of Memphis returned to class Tuesday without knowing whether the fatal campus shooting of a football player was a targeted or random attack. University officials had said they believed the Sunday night attack was specifically aimed at Taylor Bradford. But no suspects have been identified and police later said they could not yet determine the motive for the shooting outside a university housing complex that led officials to cancel classes Monday. "We really don't know whether it was a random act or whether or not this individual was targeted," City Police Director Larry Godwin said. Bradford, 21, apparently was shot near his apartment complex Sunday night, then crashed a car he was driving into a tree a short distance away on campus, authorities said. They have not determined whether he was shot before or after he started driving. Police were responding to the crash when they found Bradford slumped over in the car. "It wasn't until the paramedics got there that they determined there was a possible gunshot wound," said Bruce Harber, director of university police. He was apparently shot once, police said, though an autopsy was pending. University President Shirley Raines said authorities quickly determined Bradford's killer or killers were not a threat to other students but still banned all outsiders from campus housing throughout the night. In an e-mail alert to faculty, students and staff early Monday, the university said "the initial investigation indicates this was an act directed specifically toward the victim and was not a random act of violence." The university, primarily a commuter campus with more than 20,000 students, still decided to cancel classes Monday. Witnesses saw two unidentified men running from the area where investigators believe the shooting occurred and other witnesses reported hearing gunfire, said Godwin, the city police director. He said investigators had no evidence that Bradford was involved in any illegal activity. "Everything I've heard about him ... he was just a good kid," Godwin said. a junior who transferred to Memphis last year after two seasons at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. The Nashville resident was to play for the Tigers this season. Monday afternoon, several football players and others tied a large red ribbon to the tree Bradford struck with his car and put up a large poster board for friends and acquaintances to leave personal notes. "Our entire football team is deeply saddened by the loss of Taylor," Memphis head coach Tommy West said. "He was well respected and a popular member of our team." The Memphis Tigers host Marshall University on Tuesday night, and a moment of silence was planned before the game. Bradford lettered in three sports at Antioch High School in Nashville. >> PRIMARY CAMPAIGN BY JIM KUHNHENN ASSOCIATED PRESS Clinton leads in funds raised WASHINGTON — Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton raised $22 million this summer for her presidential primary campaign, outpacing all other candidates so far with her best three-month showing of the year. For the first time, she reported attracting more new donors in a quarter than her chief fundraising rival. Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. Clinton raised a total of $27 million in the three months, her campaign said Tuesday, but $5 million is designated for the general election and can't be used in her quest for the Democratic nomination. Her $80 million total for the 2008 presidential race puts her on a par with Obama, though he still leads her in money raised for the primaries alone. Clinton's summer donations bring her total primary dollars raised this year to $62 million. The New York senator has raised $17.6 million for the general election. Clinton leads other Democrats in national opinion polls, three months before the first primaries. Obama has reported raising at least $19 million from July through September for the primaries and about $20 million overall for the quarter, counting general election money. He has raised a total of $75 million for the primary season and about $4 million for the general election next year. She also supplemented her primary fundraising earlier this year with a $10 million transfer from her 2006 Senate campaign. Among Republicans, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney pumped up his campaign bank account with money from donors and from his own personal wealth. A top Romney adviser said he would report contributions of nearly $10 million for the quarter, as well as a personal loan to his campaign of more than $6 million. That would bring Romney's overall public contributions for the year to about $45 million, and his personal investment in his race to at least $16 million, for total receipts of more than $60 million. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who has kept pace with Romney's fundraising in the past, has not disclosed his third-quarter totals. He has said his fundraising would be on a par with other Republicans. Sen. John McCain, who appears to have stopped a political free-fall, will report raising more than $5 million during the quarter, according to Republicans familiar with his effort. McCain also reduced a debt he had at midyear but did not eliminate it, one Republican said. One McCain adviser said the campaign had stabilized its finances, significantly reducing its spending, which had averaged $4.5 million a month, to $1.5 million a month. "We have made the budgetary measures that we need to take, and I'm satisfied with the fact that we'll have enough money to do television and radio and run our campaign," McCain said Tuesday while campaigning in Florida. Later he told supporters, "We'll report a pretty good number on fundraising. We made the budgetary changes that were necessary." Fred Thompson, the newcomer to the GOP field, raised more than $8 million during the quarter, supplementing the $3.5 million he raised in June, according to Republicans briefed on his fundraising totals. Entering the fourth quarter, when spending will be heavy, the Romney campaign is eager to show a sizable amount of cash on hand to make clear it has the resources to compete in the run-up to the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary. With their third-quarter numbers, Obama and Clinton have helped push the Democratic field into record fundraising territory for a presidential campaign. They sit comfortably atop the Democratic field, well ahead of the fundraising of their nearest rival, John Edwards, who raised $7 million in the past three months for a total of $30 million for the year. The Obama and Clinton campaigns did not report how much money they have on hand, totals that would signal how well-positioned they are to compete in the months ahead. While Clinton leads in national polls, she, Obama and Edwards are clustered closely in polls of Iowa voters. Iowa is scheduled to hold the first contest of the 2008 presidential season with its caucuses in January. This was the first quarter that Clinton has raised more primary money than Obama, who has given her an unexpected tight competition in the money race. "This is the moment when you showed that America is ready for change and that you are ready to make history," campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle said on the campaign's Web site in a message to supporters. "This is the moment when your dedication defied the skeptics. The early primaries and caucuses are coming up fast. We're going to need your help a lot in the next few months." The Clinton campaign said her third-quarter contributions included money from 100,000 new donors, surpassing the 93,000 the Obama campaign said it attracted during the summer. Overall, the Obama campaign has said it has attracted 350,000 donors. "More than 350,000 Americans have already signaled the kind of change they want in Washington by contributing to the Obama campaign," spokesman Bill Burton said. "We have raised a historic $74.9 million in dollars available for primary spending, without transferring one cent from any other campaign fund and with no money from federal lobbyists or PACs."

THE UNIVERSITY DARLY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2007 NEWS WORLD 5A Short meeting begins summit Leaders of North, South Korea meet to discuss conflict that dates back to war 대한민국 수도권 국방委員회 2015.09.18 ASSOCIATED PRESS South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, front left, waves as North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, front right, claps during a welcoming ceremony for Roh in Pyongyang, North Korea, Tuesday. The photo was taken by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency and released by Korea News Service in Tokyo Tuesday. The welcoming ceremony begins the first summit between the North and South Korean leaders since 2000. BY BURT HERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong II showed scant enthusiasm for the visiting South Korean president on Tuesday, while orchestrated crowds of thousands cheered the start of the second summit between the divided Koreas since World War II. The reception in Pyongyang contrasted with the first North-South summit in 2000, when Kim greeted then-South Korean President Kim Dae-jung with smiles and clasped both his hands tightly in an emotional moment that softened the North Korean strongman's image to South Koreans and the world. This time, Kim appeared reserved and unemotional, walking slowly and occasionally clapping lightly to encourage the crowd at the outdoor welcome ceremony waving red and pink paper flowers. The North's official Korean Central News Agency reported that Kim was greeted by cheers from citizens "rocking the earth and sky." South Korean President Rob Moo-hyun appeared to revel in the moment, waving and smiling broadly before reviewing a goose-stepping North Korean military honor guard welding rifles with bayonets — part of its million-strong forces that face the South across the world's most brave heavily armed frontier. The 12-minute encounter was the only known meeting Tuesday between the leaders, who were to begin formal talks Wednesday. According to South Korean pool reports, they in February. Both Roh and Kim also hope to keep the surging conservatives from winning South Korea's December presidential election, where they hold a commanding lead in opinion polls. The main opposition Grand National Party is more skeptical of relations with the North, insisting aid be conditional on progress on "Our people have suffered from too many hardships,and development has been held up due to this wall." ROH MOO-HYUN South Korean President did not exchange any substantive words beyond simply telling each other, "I am glad to meet you." Roh has said his goal at the summit is fostering peace and prosperity between the North and South, which remain technically at war since a 1953 cease-fire halted the Korean War despite seven years of warming ties since their first summit. But Roh has not given any specifics about what he will propose or seeks in return, prompting criticism from conservatives at home that the summit is an ego trip for Roh, seeking to establish a legacy for his unpopular administration that ends nuclear disarmament along with reforms to the country's centralized economy. Roh's eager embrace of the North has also caused friction with Seoul's ally Washington, which believes relations between the Koreas should only follow progress in Pyongyang's nuclear disarmament. Earlier during the 125-mile journey by road from Seoul, Roh stepped out of his vehicle to walk across the border that divides the Koreas in the center of the Demilitarized Zone — the first time any Korean leader has crossed the land border. In the first summit between the Koreas in 2000, the South's Kim flew to Pyongyang. "This line is a wall that has divided the nation for a half-century. Our people have suffered from too many hardships, and development has been held up due to this wall," Roh said before crossing. "I will make efforts to make my walk across the border an occasion to remove the forbidden wall and move toward peace and prosperity." Upon entering Pyongyang, Roh switched to an open-top car and was joined by the North's No. 2 leader, Kim Yong Nam. Both rode for some 20 minutes through the North's showcase capital, waving to hundreds of thousands of residents who chanted "Reunification of the Fatherland!" and "Welcome! This week's summit, which runs through Thursday, comes a year after the North conducted its first test detonation of a nuclear bomb, catalyzing world opposition to the regime. However, the explosion soon led to a reversal of Washington's hard-line policy on the North that has lately seen relations improve between the long-time foes. In July, North Korea shut down its sole operating nuclear reactor that produced material for bombs, and the country has tentatively agreed to disable its atomic facilities by year-end in a way that they cannot be easily restarted. Before leaving the South Korean capital, Roh acknowledged that the two Koreas alone could not totally resolve the nuclear standoff or bring peace to the peninsula. North Korea is involved in international talks, which include the U.S. and other regional powers, on "Even if we do not reach an agreement in many areas, it would still be a meaningful achievement to narrow the gap in understanding and to enhance confidence in each other," Roh said of the meeting with Kim. Washington was skeptical the summit would lead to tangible progress. its nuclear weapons program. A peace settlement to the Korean War would require the participation of the U.S. and China, both of which also fought in that conflict. "I certainly am not looking for those inter-korean discussions to change the basic facts on the ground," U.S. State Department spokesman Tom Casey said Monday. Shares of Reston, Va.-based Sallie Mae fell 15 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $19.75 in afternoon trading. In a letter to Sallie Mae's board, the head of the Flowers firm, J. Christopher Flowers, said the revised proposal represents "a significant premium to what the company's unaffected share price would likely be based on historical trading ranges and current market conditions." Buyout firms like Flowers — which acquire public companies and take them private, restructure them and then sell them a few years later at a profit — had been riding a wave of easy credit but recently have found it harder to persuade their bankers to finance takeovers. The new student loan legislation will cut about $20 billion in federal subsidies to companies like Sallie Mae that make student loans while halving the interest rate on government-backed student loans. According to Sallie Mae, the new student loan law will reduce its "core earnings" net income between 1.8 percent and In a tense statement, Sallie Mae said it expects Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. "to honor that contract, not breach the contract," which calls for the deal to be closed later this month.

Cerberus Capital Management LP in July had to inject more equity into its takeover of Chrysler Group from German automaker Daimler.

And two private-equity firms backed out of their $8 billion buyout of upscale audio equipment maker Harman International Industries Inc. 2. 1 percent each year over the next five years. Under the new offer, which is worth about $21 billion in cash, Sallie Mae has the potential to receive an additional payment of more than $7 a share if the company performs on track with its own projections.

WWW.KANSAN.COM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2007 PAGE 7A BURGERTIMES Change your mind-set and exhibit some self-confidence A shy personality can be overcome by embracing what can be termed externalization JACOB MUSELMANN It's safe to say I used to be shy. I grew up through school complacent with most things that riled my friends, and in general was disaffected by the day-to-day whims children are often led by, fight over or want. It seemed to make sense to deliberate things that particularly pertained to myself only by myself. I was content with this approach for quite sometime. However, the many transitions from dependence to independence experienced in college life have ushered in a new trend in how I approach others and myself, something that can be described as externalization. I remember my first fight in first grade. Specifically, I remember staring into the nurse's mirror, front tooth hanging by the gum, and realizing for the first time how disenchanting I found my experience with most other classmates to be. I will never cease to be amazed nor surprised by what others do, think or say. While I'm sure it further depleted my interest in the goings-on of others around me, I'm sure many (even whose baby teeth reached fruition) can relate. In the same spirit of defeat or isolation brought on by the onslaught of responsibilities involved with college, one is also able to develop a mentality of ability and confidence, even if unthinkable before. Simple as it sounds, I found difficulty investing fully in others' company, or "opening up," if you will. The fact that so many people sound dumb when they talk had completely paralyzed my ability to communicate with others without having hesitation and therefore contrived, calculated responses. As a result, many euphemistically called me a "jerk" or "snob." I can confirm from experience a portion of the student community knows what I'm talking about. However, in engaging with people more fully I found that it is not all for loss. Being more sincere with acquaintances or fighting the urge to let one's eyes roll to the back when confronted with an undesirable social situation is just the beginning. In having a generally heightened faith in the conversations I find myself involved in, I have begun to experience a sort of catharsis is in expressing ideas, mentalities and humor that have long been ignored or minimized. And no kidding—one might even walk away with a few new ideas of their own or a newfound appreciation for someone or their sense of humor. Now, this is not a mandate to go hit on the next attractive person that happens to be studying in one's vicinity. Nor is it an excuse to be a blabbermouth or to join five clubs (they're great). In fact, externalization stretches far beyond verbal communication, or at least it should. I realize there is something to be said about silence. The ability to be around others without talking all of the time shows a great level of comfort for one another and expounds on truly genuine friendship, a relieving quality that I cherish. However, more often than not, awkward moments arise from not saying anything, rather than simply saying what one feels. Many are on a quest for irony, and yet I also see someone that can wear the most audacious get-up but not have the guts to venture out from expected responses (which by the way, are lugubrious way before they become cliché). To be short, what would appear as timidity usually is indeed timidity, uncomfortable for most people and usually uncalled for. Internalization, the maintenance of one person's mystery to others, is an indispensable and healthy part of a person's life, but is far over-represented. Most people will continue to annoy me. Despite this, if one decides to experiment with being opportunistic in exhibiting their confidence sometime, they might like whatever else that they cause by doing so. Even if they don't, the risk and self-edification makes it worth it (and specifically in my case, the tooth fairy premium and sizable portion of mint-chocolate chip ice cream.

Donating blood worth discomfort It can be painful and scary, but giving blood can save many lives MARY ANN MCCORMACK ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON You experience a little pinch, and about 10 minutes later you get a cookie and a T-shirt. Doesn't exactly sound too unreasonable, unless you're me. I still dread going to the doctor for physicals, for the fear of enduring multiple 'pinches' in one afternoon. At the doctor, you don't receive food and apparel for your bravery; instead you get a Garfield war wound bandage.

After the blood drive on campus during the week of Sept. 24-28, I began reconsidering the voluntary pain I have spent my money and time on, in which the sole benefits go to me. For 10 minutes of my time, I could have donated a pint of blood and had the opportunity to save the lives of three people. I say could have, because I did not take advantage of the opportunity. If you did take the initiative to help save lives, you may have noticed a difference in the eligibility requirements. Kansas, along with Washington, Georgia and a few other states, has lowered the minimum age of donation to 16, with parental consent. Some blood banks in Arizona are even allowing freshly tattooed persons the chance to donate, something that had previously deferred donors for a year. Not only have regulation requirements eased up, but to appeal to younger audiences, some agencies are providing gifts post-donation. One of the new gifts is an iPod. If you did make a trip to one of the on-campus locations set up by the KU Blood Drive Committee, Community Blood Center and the Red Cross. Red Cross, you would have walked away with your new T-shirt and a yummy cookie to compensate you for donating your blood. Granted it is not an elaborate ink design, or even an iPod; the satisfaction of helping should be enough. I am not trying to preach about how we all should have donated, because I did not even do it. Accordingly, only about 37 percent of the American population is eligible to donate. If we have 15 minutes to spare and are willing to help other people, we should. Being students, it is not always easy to volunteer our time or donate our money to those who are less fortunate and in need. But if you would like to help, after learning more about it, I think donating blood is a great way to start. Even though Kansans will not receive iPods or more extravagant gifts, it should not be about that. Those of you who did help out by donating for the sake of donating, kudos to you, because I admire that, I, on the other hand, have set a goal for myself to overcome my wimpy ways and make a trip to the Community Blood Center to volunteer for free pain that benefits me in no way, other than making me feel good about myself and maybe making me a little lightheaded.

Owen and Johnson play for the Boston Rebels in the movie. Owen said his favorite part about making the film was the crew. "All the actors for the most part are great guys." Owen said. "The experience is great; being etched in the silver screen for eternity. The people are the best. Dwayne was fantastic and really down-to-earth." The comedy's premise involves the superstar quarterback, Johnson. ing confused with a daughter who shows up at his doorstep one day. POLICE Owen "If you like 16-year-old girl movies, or chick flicks, you'll like this movie." Owen said, laughing. "It's actually a really good movie. My sister cried at it, and my mom said she almost cried. It is an emotional father-daughter movie. It's got good football scenes, too." Owen, who was given the nickname "Snowball" during his first week on the Kansas campus by former coach Glenn Mason, is a member of the Tampa Bay Storm in the Arena Football League. He played at Kansas from 1997-2000, where he was a two-year starter at offensive guard. He earned thirdteam All-Big 12 honors as a senior in 2000. Owen went to the NFL and trained with the Arizona Cardinals before injuring his back. He has played in the Arena League for five years. Owen said Johnson was receptive to Arena League players who tried to teach the former wrestling star how to throw the ball like a professional quarterback. Johnson was impressed with the approximately 25 active Arena League players who participated in the movie. "I have nothing but glowing things to say about my experience in working with these guys," Johnson said in a press release. "I especially enjoyed working with my center, Marcus 'Snowball' Owen ... he was great." Owen also appeared in 2005's "The Longest Day." He didn't have a speaking role in either film, but said he would like to get such a role in the future. While Owen said he prefers playing football to acting, he said he would love to work behind the camera as a director, producer, or cameraman. The layhawk spent two and a half months filming, from October to mid-December. The movie was filmed in Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots. Owen said the football scenes were filmed live, but the players' actions were choreographed. In one scene in the film's closing minutes, Owen is the lead blocker for Johnson and cuts a pursuing linebacker, who then flips. "He knew that was coming and had extra padding in the thighs," Owen said. "You learn how to land and how to turn. You know the hit is coming, so you can brace for it."

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Ryan Campbell, Olate junior, reacts to the coming out story of another member of the panel at the Queens & Allies question and answer session on Tuesday night in the Jawhawk room in the Kansas Union. Queers & Allies meets Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. Jessica Crabaugh/Kansan ALEXIS GORDON JENNIFER HARRIS ANNE MILLE CAMPUS Queers & Allies share answers, experiences BY SASHA ROE Members of the panel were Jessica Rojas, Q&A social chair, Ryan Campbell Q&A director, Kelly Marshall, Renata Fernandes, and Jay Pryor. sroe@kansan.com The members started the session by sharing their coming out stories. Renata Fernandes, Rio De Janeiro, sophomore said she dated a girl Jessica Roijas is often asked when she knew she was gay. The Indian Harbor Beach Fla., senior, said she often thought of asking back. "So when did you know you were straight?" No question was off limits when University of Kansas Queers & Allies hosted "Q&A with Q&A," a question and answer session Tuesday. "I said so many things against myself." Fernandes said. Fernandes said it took time for her mother to accept the news. She said their relations have improved recently. She said her mother knew her sexuality wasn't a choice. for three years but bid her identity because she didn't want to take the risk and tell her mother. "It wasn't an option for me," Fernandes said, "If it was I would have chose the easier route." Ryan Campbell, Olathe junior, said his coming out was pretty painless. He said he was thankful but a bit surprised his suburban, conservative family was so accepting. Even his grandmother surprised him with her support. "She said, 'You know it's true what they say, all the cute ones are gay,' Campbell said. - Secure working environment NARCO ROUTE 66 CONVENIENCE STORES - ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES "Tough skin and a sense of humor," Kelly Marshall said.

Outreach coordinator Melissa Todhunter, Columbus, sophomore said the idea for the session was inspired by the speakers bureau panel Queers & Allies provides to classes and faculty on campus. Todhunter said it was the same concept but the Q&A was much more informal. Rojas said she was raised Catholic, served on mission trips and believed in God. She said she tried to ignore any arguments she got about her faith conflicting with her identity. Rojas said was going to believe what she wanted to believe. Kelly Marshall said his family had always been very spiritual, yet not religious. He said he focused on doing what was right and having good values. "it's how you live your life, not who your partner is," Marshall said. "It's a really open and honest environment," Todhunter said. "Some may be shocked at what they hear." Todhunter said the main goal was give people an opportunity to interact and ask more personal questions than they might in the day to day conversations. "We live in such a diverse world," Todhunter said. "But if you aren't open to it, you can limit yourself." Q&A communications director, Ashlynn Horras, Knoxville, Iowa, sophomore said the question and answer session was important for students who may never get the chance to have their questions answered, or even talk to a member of the gay community. "It may help them have a better understanding," Horras said.

Geographic proximity? Check. Students' general disdain for their counterparts? Check. A football game that holds significance? Check — finally. For the first time in more than a decade, in-state rivals Kansas and Kansas State will meet in the midst of promising seasons. Kansas is currently a perfect 4-0 and Kansas State is 3-1 and ranked No.24 in the nation. "Playing a ranked opponent is an exciting challenge for us," sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said. "They've got national exposure from their season so far, so for us to go in there and have a chance to beat them and get our exposure is really exciting." For the better part of the last decade, Kansas' match-ups against Kansas State have lacked luster, due in large part to the rising and falling fortunes of the two programs. The last time both teams were nationally relevant at the same time was 1995, when both finished 10-2 and in a tie for second in the Big 8 conference. Kansas State blew out Kansas 41-7 that year. Kansas football abruptly fell off of the map after the 1995 season, winning just 21 games in five years under coach Terry Allen. Coach Mark Mangino has slowly rebuilt the program since taking over in 2002, and has taken the 2007 Jayhawks to the brink of the Top 25. Kansas State won more than 10 games in six of the past 10 seasons, but dropped off severely in 2004 and 2005, the final years of coach Bill Snyder's career. But coach Ron Prince, hired before the 2006 season, took the Wildcats to a bowl game last year and into SEE HISTORY ON PAGE 5B 7-1 KU Kansas out-scored Kansas State 159-29 overall. 1900s 5-3-2 KSU Kansas struggled through four head coaching changes in the 20s. 1920s 8-2 KU The revitalized Jayhawks (45-48-6) beat up on the Wildcats (14-75-4). 1940s 8-1-1 KU Kansas enjoyed its best decade (50-48-4) and made it to the Orange Bowl in 1968; Kansas State didn't fare as well (18-80-1). 1960s 6-3-1 KU Both teams were pushovers, never finishing better than 4th in the Big 8. 1980s 5-2 KSU Kansas State won the Big 12 in 2003 and Kansas has two appearances in Bowl games — both are looking good in 2007. 2000s 1910s 8-0-1 KU Kansas State scored only 23 points in nine match-ups. 1930s 6-4 KSU Each squad posted mediocre results in the decade. 1950s 7-3 KU Kansas finished the 1951 season ranked 21st in the nation. 1970s 8-2 KU The Jayhawks continued their dominance and played in two bowl games. 1990s 8-2 KSU Bill Snyder turned Kansas State around, posting four double-digit win seasons and a Fiesta Bowl victory. FOOTBALL Sunflower Showdown conditions familiar Previous week's circumstances strangely reminiscent of rivalry's 2006 installment KANSAN FILE PHOTO 1 Kansas and Kansas State will battle in the Sunflower Showdown Saturday in Manhattan. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 39-20 in the contest last year. BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Nov. 11, 2006: Kansas State 45, Texas 42. Nov. 11, 2006: Kansas State 45, Texas 42. The Wildcat win was heralded as firstyear coach Ron Prince's signature victory and was said to symbolize a return to national prominence for the Kansas State football program. The jubilation in Manhattan ended prematurely a week later when in-state rival Kansas dismantled Kansas State, 39-20. Fast forward to the present and the Wildcats are facing a set of eerily similar circumstances coming into the Sunflower Showdown Saturday. They are coming off another season-defining upset victory against the Longhorns. And once again, the Jayhawks are eager for their shot at the Wildcats. Prince doesn't need any reminder of the situation and said he hoped his team learned from the sloppy performance. "I think every year the team has to be reborn," Prince said. "We went on the road to play a very important game in this part of the country and then we turned the ball over six times." The culprit of the turnover problem was then-freshman quarterback Josh Freeman. He threw four interceptions and lost one fumble. Kansas rattled the young quarterback by sending excessive pressure and unleashing bruising hits on Freeman possession after possession. Kansas coach Mark Mangino said that while he was proud of the result of last year's game, the players won't even be watching the film to prepare for Saturday's game. "That game is history and our kids put it out of their minds," Mangino said. "They are focused on the task at hand. We all are. It's a new season and there's some different players on the field for both teams." But for the Kansas players one thing remains the same. While Kansas State players were in a physically-exhausting game with Texas last weekend, the Kansas players were spending their time resting, fishing and golfing. SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 5B WOMEN'S GOLF Hawks retain title at Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com After finishing the opening 36 holes two strokes ahead of Missouri on Monday, Kansas emerged as repeat champions when the final round was cancelled because of thunderstorms in the area. Though the suspension of play was disappointing, coach Erin O'Neil said bad weather was a normal part of collegiate competition. The same dreadful weather conditions that interrupted the University of Kansas women's golf team's first two tournaments this fall worked to its advantage yesterday as the team successfully defended its title at the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational at Colbert Hills Golf Course in Manhattan. "That's pretty much college golf," O'Neil said. "It seems like if there's a golf tournament you'll have at least one day in kind of bad weather. You just have to adjust and tell yourself that everyone is playing in the same conditions." The team used solid performances from all seven players to complete the defense of the title it won last year at Alvamar Golf Course, the team's home course in Lawrence. Leading Kansas and finishing tied for fourth was sophomore Camilla Svensson. Svensson made her first appearance this fall a memorable one as she shot an opening round of 75 and followed with an even par 72 to finish three-over-par. Svensson's total of 147 was only four back from individual winner Julia Potter of Missouri. "It was great to play well after struggling a little bit in the beginning of the year," Svensson said. "I was very pleased with the way I played during the first two rounds, the way my teammates played and the way we completed the tournament. I am really Svensson happy. I was hitting the ball extremely well and I was able to stay focused. It was a tough course but it was great for our team." Though Svensson posted the lowest scores of any Kansas player, her teammates were not far behind. Freshmen Meghna Bal and Grace Thiry, both competing as individuals, each finished tied for seventh, turning in nearly identical scorecards in the process. Freshman Jennifer Clarke, appearing in her first collegiate event, tied for 31st. Also continuing their solid play were sophomores Meghan Gockel and Emily Powers, who tied for 19th and 11th respectively. The team's lone upperclassman, Senior Annie Giangrosso, maintained her consistent play and finished tied for 15th. Giangrosso said that while the team had hoped to earn the title over the course of all three rounds, the victory would provide a springboard for the remainder the fall and spring seasons as the team continues to exhibit the qualities that have driven its success so far. results Kansas 302-298—600 (+24) (Team Competition) Individuals T4 Camilla Svensson 75-72—147 T11 Emily Powers 77-73—150 T15 Annie Giangrosso 73-78—151 T19 Meghan Gockel 78-75—153 T31 Jennifer Clark 77-80—157 Individuals Only Individuals Only T7 Meghna Bal 74-75—149 T7 Grace Thiry 74-75—149 "I think it shows that we have a lot of depth," she said.

There are the "It looks like a 12-year-old who has their room decorated in trolls made the video," said Josh Kerney, Hillsboro, freshman. These are the infamous words from Kansas State University head football coach Ron Prince that have been heard repeatedly on YouTube in a promotional video encouraging the fans to bring the specially made purple towl to all the football games this year, in hopes of starting a new Manhattan tradition. University of Kansas student reaction? "If they wanted to intimidate us they could have at least made it modern," said Hunter Ketcherside, Wichita freshman "It looks like a middle schooler made it," said Justin Blair, Girard, sophomore. Poor production aside, how and why do you start a new tradition with a towel? And why does everything associated with Kansas State University have to have the word "power" in it? Everything in that town is stamped with the power-cat logo. Maybe power towels will be the new curtains in everyone's windows. In each football stadium across the nation, at least one fan will have a towel of some sort twirling in the air in hopes of getting the home team fired up.

MICHAEL B. MCCONNELL THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2007 SPORTS 3B >> FANTASY FOOTBALL Broken records lead to exceptional fourth week in NFL This weekend's NFL action included many division showdowns. Here are the highs and lows from the weekend games. THE GOOD PETER GRAFFEL BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM QB, Brett Favre, Green Bay — Dan Marino, former Miami Dolphins quarterback, lost one record this weekend, and he will possibly lose even more before the season is over. On Sunday, Favre passed Marino for the record of touchdown passes in a career with 422 touchdowns. Favre threw for 344 yards and two touchdowns as the Packers only ran for a total of 46 yards. The Packers have four wins and no losses, and they are on the inside track to win the NFC North Division. They will rely on Favre and the passing game heavily this season. RB, Justin Fargas, Oakland — When Oakland Raider Lamont Jordan went down with an injury in Sunday's game, Fargas stepped up and handled the load at running back. Fargas ran for 179 yards on 22 carries and the Raiders rushing offense almost rushed for 300 yards total. The Raiders have two wins and two losses and are tied for the AFC West Division lead with the Chiefs and Broncos. The Raiders have benefited from big plays from surprising players like Fargas. WR, Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City — The Chiefs have needed to draft a receiver in the first round of the NFL draft for a long time. It paid dividends, as Bowe had a big game against the Chargers on Sunday. Bowe had eight catches for 164 yards and one touchdown. He asserted himself as the No.1 receiver on the Chiefs' roster and will be a big factor in the passing offense the rest of the season. TE, Dallas Clark, Indianapolis TE, Dallas Clark, Indianapolis — No tight end went over 100 receiving yards this week, but the Indianapolis receivers were ineffective in the passing game, so quarterback Peyton Manning relied on Clark. Clark had six catches for 76 yards and two touchdowns. Clark is one of the most versatile tight ends in the league and he proved it on Sunday. Defense, New York Giants The New York Giants showed up to play on Sunday. The Giants held the Eagles to only three points after they put up 56 points on the Lions last week. According to NFL.com, the Giants tied the NFL record with 12 total sacks. Osi Umenyiora had six of those sacks, and the Giants defense quickly brought Donovan McNabb back down to earth after his big performance against the Lions. K, Dave Rayner, Kansas City — What goes around comes around. Rayner now knows what that feels like. Rayner was cut by the Packers to make room for rookie kicker Mason Crosby, only to be signed by the Chiefs after the first week of the season after Justin Medlock struggled. Rayner made all three field goals he attempted, including a 41-yard attempt, and converted all three extra point attempts as the Chiefs moved into a tie at the top of the AFC West Division. Rayner has made fans fans quickly forget the wasted NFL draft pick on Medlock. THE BAD AND THE UGLY QB, Marc Bulger, St. Louis — Bulger finds his way back on the worst list for a second straight week. It is an understatement to say the Rams are struggling. Their offensive line has been reworked because of injuries, Steven Jackson has struggled and did not even play on Sunday, and even when the Rams offense is working they cannot put any points on the board. Bulger threw for only 114 yards and one interception against the Cowboys on Sunday. It could be a long season for the Rams. RB, Willie Parker, Pittsburgh — Pittsburgh relies on the running game to power its offense, but Parker struggled against the Arizona defense on Sunday. Parker had only 37 yards on 19 carries on Sunday after rushing for more than 100 yards in the first three games of the season. The Steelers have always been a running team and Parker will need to bounce back next weekend. WR, Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis — The Colts put 38 points on the scoreboard on Sunday, but Harrison had a tough day. Harrison had only one catch for eight yards. Tight end Dallas Clark got most of the receiving yardage on Sunday, which is evidence of the balanced passing attack of the Colts, but Harrison will bounce back and continue to be the no.1 receiver on the Colts. TE, Jeremy Shockey, New York Giants — The Giants got a big win against the Eagles on Sunday, but Shockey was hardly a factor. Shockey had only one catch for 17 yards, but Shockey is one of the most used tight ends in the league and will easily come back with a strong game next weekend 82 ASSOCIATED PRESS Defense, Baltimore — Cleveland continues to surprise teams in the AFC North. Baltimore was the victim this past Sunday. The Ravens gave up 303 total yards to the Cleveland offense and forced only one turnover. The Ravens offense was very effective on Sunday, and if the defense can return to form next week the Ravens could have a big day. Kansas City's Dwayne Bowe made his fantasy-football owner smile on Sunday. Bowe finished with eight catchers for 164 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 30-9 victory against San Diego. K, Jeff Wilkins, St. Louis — Jeff Wilkins is struggling in the terrible St. Louis offense. The Rams have trouble getting into field goal position, and Wilkins is suffering for it. Wilkins missed his only field goal attempt on Sunday and made the only extra point of the day for the Rams. Wilkins is one of the best kickers in the league, and if the Rams offense takes off, Wilkins will be a big beneficiary. - Edited by Ashlee Kieler 》 VOLLEYBALL Team victory tonight would tie 2006 mark BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com When Kansas travels to Ames, Iowa, tonight to take on Iowa State, it can do more than even its conference record at 3-3. Kansas can also send a message to the rest of the Big 12 Conference that these Jayhawks are quite different than the 2006 version. Kansas, 9-6 and 2-3 in conference, will have junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart in the starting lineup for the second straight game after Uhart missed 10 matches to receive treatment for a congenital heart defect. A victory would give Kansas its third in conference and equal Kansas' conference victory total from last season. The Jayhawks finished 3-17 in the Big 12 in 2006. It would also give Kansas its second conference road victory after finishing with an 0-10 B12 road mark last season. Uhart's presence in the middle will help Kansas contend with an Iowa State program that has been on the rise the past two seasons. Iowa State finished 21-11 last season and made a trip to the second round of the NCAA tournament. Iowa State has picked up where it left off last season. The Cyclones are 10-5 and tied for fourth in the Big 12 with Texas at 4-1. Iowa State has a four-game winning streak against Kansas, and leads the all-time series 36-33-1.

A. A. Williams Williams' status is unknown for Iowa State.

In an attempt to stem the use of steroids among high school athletes, the league launched a $1.2 million education program Tuesday. Working through eight NFL teams, the program Redskins safety Pierson Prioleau, who answered questions from students during the official launch at the team's stadium. "This program is going to show them that there are positive ways to win." the effort is actually two pro- "Some of the reasons some of the programs haven't worked is that they commingle the boys and the girls. They really need to be separate" LINN GOLDBERG Oregon Health & Science University is expected to reach 20,000 students in 40 high schools during this school year. "Everybody wants to gain their edge and be the best and do whatever it takes to win," said Washington drug use. "They have different reasons for using substances," said Dr. Linn Goldberg, co-creator of the programs at the Oregon Health & Science University. "A young woman's use is often related to diet, "Some of the reasons some of the programs haven't worked is that they commingle the boys and the girls. They really need to be separate.

Theirs are more risk-taking, sensation-seeking. for a first steroids offense and a year for a second, and this year the number of random tests will increase from roughly 10,000 to 12,000. The issue of steroids remains a serious concern among major sports leagues, even as they strengthen their anti-doping policies. The NFL mandates a four-game suspension "It's a serious concern," said Michael Haynes, the NFLs vice president of player and employee development. "It seems like more kids are taking chances with their lives." Participating teams in the education program are the Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers. game preview Kansas vs. Iowa State, 6:30 p.m. Hilton Coliseum, Ames, Iowa Despite missing ten games this season, Uhart is still the Jay-hawks' most dangerous offensive weapon.

Prince said the biggest advantage Kansas had was its week full of time to recover and chance to get extra preparation in. "The thing that's consistent is that this team's been off before a big game," Prince said. "So we have to make sure we're fresh and prepared and to do that on a week's schedule when the other team had two weeks — that makes it more of a challenge." One distinct difference between the two games for the Jayhawks is the location. Kansas was able to feed off of the Memorial Stadium crowd last year. The purple-clad Wildcat faithful shouldn't be quite as inviting to the Jayhawks, And Mangino's well-publicized 2-18 Big 12 Conference road record doesn't help his team's chances. But from last year's comparable circum- last year's game | | Score | Total Offense | Turnovers | Time of Possession | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Kansas | 39 | 355 | 4 | 28:25 | | Kansas State | 20 | 362 | 6 | 31:35 | stances, at least one Kansas starter feels more prepared. "From the atmosphere of last year's game, I know what it's going to be like," sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said. "I know the emotion and the intensity the game is going to have." Edited by Luke Morris football notes KU TUNES IN TO KSU WIN Kansas players and coaches received a break from the football field last weekend, but they didn't stay too far away from the game one game, in particular. Many of the Jayhawks spent their Saturday afternoon watching Kansas State wallop Texas, 41-21. Junior cornerback Aqib Talib took in the game at a birthday party held Fine Fine for the son of Kansas cornerbacks coach Jey'Ney Jackson. Senior tight end Derek Fine watched most of the game while he sat around the house, and said he was happy to see the Wildcats win because it made this Saturday's Kansas-Kansas State match-up even more important. Kansas fans might have a hard time waking up by 11 a.m. to catch Saturday's kickoff on FSN (Sunflower Broadband channel 36), but the Jayhawk players EARLY TO RISE should be just fine. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said the early start time might feel a bit different, considering the team has not started a game before 6 p.m. so far this season, but that the team would be prepared. Talib said the early kickoff would not present a problem because he is already accustomed to hitting the weight room by 6:30 a.m. and class by 8 a.m. each morning. The Jayhawks should get used to waking up early: their second conference game is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Oct. 13 against Baylor. NOT WORRIED ABOUT BYE The week off should not affect Kansas negatively, coach Mark Mangino said. In the past, he has seen teams both struggle and succeed coming off of bye weeks, he said. If anything, the extra time helped the Kansas players heal a bit. Junior cornerback Kendrick Harper, who missed the team's first three games and dressed but did not play two weeks ago against Florida International, will be available for Saturday's game. — Asher Fusco GOLF (CONTINUED FROM 1B) been on here. I think for the rest of the season we obviously have choices as to who to bring to tournaments. I feel like no matter what team we put out there on any given day we are going to go out and we are going to compete because we are always going to have five very solid, capable players" O'Neil was inclined to agree. She said the mental focus and adjustments her squad made were critical to their success. After an extremely windy practice round, the field was forced to adjust some aspects of their games during the first day of competition that lacked strong winds. Despite the changes in conditions, ONeil said she thought her team made the necessary adjustments required to post low scores and showed an improved sense of course management. Despite the early ending, O'Neil said defending their championship would be something that the team could look to for inspiration in the future. "I think it's a very good motivator for them and it is a very good confidence builder", O'Neil said. "I just think it will hopefully snowball and make them hungrier for it and we can just add to it." If Kansas can continue to get solid performances from its stable of quality players more victories should be in the works for the young squad. Confidence is at a season high as it should be and expectations for the remainder of the year are soaring. "This by no means is the only win we are expecting this year," Giangrosso said. Time will tell whether that will be the case, but if the team continues to build on Monday's results more victories could certainly be in store. — Edited by Ashlee Kieler CRIME New York Knicks owners must pay lawsuit damages BY TOM HAYS ASSOCIATED PRESS The jury of four women and three men found Thomas and Madison Square Garden sexually harassed Anucha Browne Sanders, but it decided only MSG and chairman James Dolan should pay for harassing and firing Browne Sanders from her $260,000-a-year job out of spite. NEW YORK — In an end to a salacious three-week trial, a jury ordered the owners of the New York Knicks to pay $11.6 million to a former team executive who endured crude insults and unwanted advances from coach Isiah Thomas. The result: The Garden owes $6 million for condoning a hostile work environment and $2.6 million for retaliation. Dolan owes $3 million. Though Thomas is off the hook for any damages, he leaves the case with a tarnished image. Outside court, a beaming Browne Sanders insisted her victory was more about sending a message than the money. "What I did here, I did for every working woman in America," she said. "And that includes everyone who gets up and goes to work in the morning, every worker in a corporate environment." Earlier, Thomas emerged from the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan with his trademark smile but flashed anger as he reasserted his innocence amid a crush of reporters and cameras. "I'm extremely disappointed that the jury did not see the facts in this case," he said. "I will appeal this, and I remain confident in the man that I am and what I stand for and the family that I have." MSG said it will appeal, also denying wrongdoing in a case widely viewed as a public relations disaster for a franchise struggling to regain credibility. The team hasn't won a playoff game since Thomas was signed as president in December 2003 and has wasted millions this decade on a series of free-agent busts. The verdict also amounts to another blemish on the resume of Thomas, a two-time NBA champion whose career has been marked by one failure after another.

The Homer Hanky became public in 1987 when the Minneapolis Star Tribune debuted the handkerchief. It is used when the Twins make the playoffs. After watching the promotional video for the first time, I couldn't believe what I just saw. Who would even allow that to be made JOHNSON (CONTINUED FROM 1B) For those who have not seen the video, find the nearest computer and go watch it. But make sure it's not in a place where quiet is the norm, because there will be laughter for the next five minutes. public? A few people are probably rolling in their graves, either from laughter or pure embarrassment. This Saturday, power towels will twirl all across Bill Snyder Family Stadium. But who knows? Maybe Wildcat fans have finally realized by their sixth game of the season it is really not that cool and should not be a new tradition. But then again, they do like Wildcats instead of Jayhawks, that's pretty lame to begin with. As an added treat, Willie the Wildcat is in the video showing off his guitar skills. He could have been the lead guitarist of some 1980's Hair Metal band. The awesome background effects when Willie is playing the electric guitar were the highlight of the video and are also the screen saver for my computer. the ball out of the direction of the receiver? There is a better chance you will knock the drink out of the hands of the person sitting next to you. A couple other sports teams have had success with a towel as a tradition. In 1975 a commentator for the Pittsburgh Steelers named Myron Cope asked fans to bring yellow towels to the game against the Baltimore Colts. The Steelers won the game. During the postseason specially made gold towels with the words "Myron Cope's Terrible Towel" appeared. They ended up winning Super Bowl X that year as well.

"I didn't really watch much of it until the later years, and they pretty much got the best of us every time," senior running back Brandon McAnderson said. "One of the reasons I came to this program was to do something about it, so I look forward to playing them Saturday." During Mangino's tenure, the Jayhawks have produced mixed results against the Wildcats. In 2002, a Kansas team that would finish 2-10 was obliterated by No. 14 Kansas State at Memorial Stadium, 64-0. The 2003 Kansas squad won six games but did not fare any better against its in-state rival, falling 42-6 in Manhattan after KU quarterback Bill Whittemore's first-quarter injury. In 2004, Kansas notched one of its two conference victories against Kansas State on homecoming by a score of 31-28. The 2005 match-up was far from pretty, as the Wildcats held the Jayhawks out of the end zone to win 12-3. Last year, Kansas routed Kansas State 39-20. The Wildcats were coming off of an impressive win against the then-No. 4 Texas Longhorns. Oddly enough, the 2007 Sunflower Showdown will also take place on the heels of an impressive Kansas State victory - over the then-No. 7 Texas Longhorns.

United's disappointing elimination in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions I am a boy. I am happy. I am a girl. I am sad. I am not a boy. I am a girl. I am happy Cup at the hands of Mexican club Chivas de Guadalajara in early April still weighs on the minds of players and coaches. That much seems obvious given the comments out of the United camp leading up to last Wednesday's Copa Sudamericana clash. BY ANDREW WIEBEB KANSAN COLUMNIST AWIEBEB WIEBEB.COM Conversations with reporters revolved around payback for preseason frustration and unfinished business between the two sides. Coach Tom Soehn went so far as to proclaim the existence of a rivalry between the two clubs after only two meetings. It's a potential rivalry that benefi D.C. United, but Major League Soccer seems to be the true beneficiary. United's appearance in South America's second-most-celebrated club competition was the third time this season that clubs from Major League Soccer participated in a tournament with their regional contemporaries. These forays into regional club competition mark the first step in make ing MLS internationally recognized and, more importantly, respected. By participating in competitions like the Champions Cup, North American SuperLiga and Copa Sudamericana, MLS solves two of its most profound shortcomings a drawn-out and sometimes stagnant regular season, and the league's puzzling inability to draw the interest of the Hispanic fan base in the U.S. already consumed by soccer The most glaring weakness of MLS's regular season format is the lack of meaning attached to each regular season fixture. Eight of the 13 clubs (soon to be 14 with the addition of a San Jose franchise) in MLS make the playoffs each year, meaning even the most mediocre regional tournaments adidas ASSOCIATED PRESS CONCACAF CHAMPIONS CUP D. C. United has played in three regional competitions this year; the CONCAFAF Champions Cup, the SuperLiga and Copa Sudamericana. Within these competitions, MLS clubs face off against clubs from North and South America, such as the Mexico's Chivas de Guadalajara. First held in 1962 Field includes two teams from MLS, two from the Mexican Prima Division, three from Central American leagues and one from the Caribbean - Only MLS winners are the Los Angeles Galaxy in 1998 and D.C. United in 2000 - Top three finishers qualify for Copa Sudamericana - Tournament has recently been dominated by Mexican clubs like last year's champion Pachuca, who defeated Chivas de Guadalajara in the championship game NORTH AMERICAN SUPERLIGA - Four clubs each from Mexican Primula Division and MLS compete for $1 million prize - Begins in late July with a group Begins in late July with a group stage followed by two-leg semifinals and a single game to determine the champion Currently all games are played in the U.S. ■ Pachuca were inaugural winners, defeating a David Beckham-less LA Galaxy on penalty kicks in the championship at the Home Depot Center COPA SUDAMERICANA clubs have a chance to walk away with the MLS Cup despite finishing in the bottom half of the table. Interest generated by season openers and the arrival of new talent can only sustain the league so long until Major League Baseball drives MLS news to the back page. - Played among 34 CONMEBOL (South America) and CONCAF (North America) clubs - Only the fifth year in its current format - South American teams can play in both Copa Sudamericana and Copa Libertadores, a higher competition among South American club teams D. C. United qualified via third place finish in CONCACAF Champions Cup Pachuca are the defending champions Regional competitions add variety and intrigue that can pique even marginal interest throughout a tedious seven-month season that includes only 30 league fixtures and U.S. Open Cup competition, which few MLS clubs take seriously. Furthermore, clubs are often subjected to long breaks from action that leave serious gaps in the continuity of the season. It's hard to imagine effectively holding the notoriously short attention spans of Americans when clubs have layoffs that can last more than two weeks. By filling these gaps with meaningful competition, MLS can ensure a variety of matchups that the 13-team league cannot generate. Fortunately for soccer fans in America, MLS recognizes the value these competitions provide and are taking steps to guarantee participation by its clubs. In an effort to maintain interest during the critical summer months leading up to the MLS Cup, an eight-team competition featuring four clubs from both MLS and the Mexican Primera Division was created and dubbed the North American SuperLiga. Organizers bet that capitalizing on the natural rivalry between the United States and Mexico, along with a hefty million-dollar prize, would create a competition that would be taken seriously on both sides of the Rio Grande. Although all the games for this season's edition occurred on American soil, the tournament and the concept behind it was a rousing success and may be the key to attracting support from the Hispanic fans that MLS has ineffectively marketed to in the past The key to gaining Hispanic support for MLS is to exhibit the improved quality and talent of the league by competing against top teams from Mexico and South America. The incredible attendance at SuperLiga games, mostly in support of visiting Mexican clubs, shows Hispanic fans are willing to purchase tickets as long as they respect the participants. The true surprise in the inaugural SuperLiga was the success of MLS clubs. Three of the four semi- finalists were MLS clubs, and although Pachuca finished as champion, MLS clubs were able to hold their own against their Mexican counterparts. The victories accomplished something MLS public relations and advertising efforts cannot. Beating Mexican powers like Chivas, Club America and Pachuca shows skeptical fans the quality of play is improving rather than them relying on media hype that has a fraction of the credibility that winning creates. The only downside is the lack of games on Mexican soil. MLS clubs have If you wouldn't share your gum...

D.C. United and the Houston Dynasty both squandered opportunities earlier this year. Without showing an ability to win in the unfriendly stadium environments of Mexico, true legitimacy in the eyes of Hispanic fans cannot be attained. Clubs must finish off Mexican clubs in their own backyards before respect can be truly demanded. ROBERT J. DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS The University of Kansas MLS squads are showing that the influx of foreign talent has indeed impacted the quality of play domestically but must make that translate into international success to garner interest from Hispanic soccer fans dissatisfied with or uneducated about the current product MLS provides. The modest success experienced by MLS clubs like D.C. United is a sign of the gradual improvement of the American professional game. MLS is realizing which strategies work and which do not. One of its most resounding successes is the introduction of international play throughout the season through the Champions Cup, SuperLiga, and to a certain extent, Copa Sudamericana. Not only are fans of all backgrounds given a respite from the monotonous MLS regular season but they are given international matchups previously unimaginable. Fans love rivalries, and the added intrigue international play presents is exactly what the league needs to propel itself from international pretender to a genuine option for soccer fanatics worldwide.

Although several of the University's schools currently use a plus/minus grading scale, including the School of Journalism, the School of Business and the School of Law, "A+" is not allowed to appear on a student's transcript. Kim McNeley, assistant dean in the college, said that the change was proposed because of a concern from faculty members that the college's current policy did not distinguish between students who received high and low percentages within a certain letter grade. If it does not pass, she said, the college would implement the plus/minus grading system as it currently appears in University Senate rules and regulations, without distinguishing between an "A" and an "A+". McNeley said that although the college would like to pass the changes to the system in University Senate so it could add "A+" as a letter grade, she expected the college to change its grading system even if the measure did not pass in University Senate.

BY MELISSA JOHNSON Francis Huntington Snow was one of the University's original three professors. He was also the fifth chancellor of the University. His contributions include beginning the Natural History Museum and two buildings named in his honor. His passion for the University also led to the funding of the University's first library. Snow moved to Lawrence in 1866 to accept a position as professor of mathematics and natural science, working along side Elial J. Rice and David H. Robinson, according to kuhistory.com. All three professors agreed to a yearly salary of $1,600 each. Though Snow was actually a minister and had applied for a position as professor of languages, his career in natural science proved to be not only successful, but something he enjoyed. In 1886, Snow obtained funding for a new science building, which the Board of Regents named in his honor. It was built on what is now the northwest corner of the Watson Library lawn. Snow became chancellor of the University in 1890 after a dispute between two other candidates. Despite not being the Board of Regent's first choice, Snow threw himself into improving the status of the fledgling University, increasing enrollment and acquiring more books for the University. He retired in 1901 after being chancellor for 11 years and having worked for the University for 35 years. Snow died in 1908. By the 1920s, the original Snow Hall was in danger of collapsing, and the University demolished it in 1934. The Military Science Building was constructed from stones that were salvaged from it. The "new" Snow Hall was built in 1930 and held the natural sciences departments including zoology, botany, entomology and bacteriology. In time these departments moved to other buildings. Today, Snow hall houses the departments of mathematics and economics, among others. Snow's passion for the University was infectious. Snow was so passionate about the University that his uncle, William B. Spooner, left a portion of his fortune to the University. The money went largely toward building the first library on campus. Spooner Hall served as a library from 1894 until the opening of Watson Library in 1924. Spooner Hall then became the Spooner-Thayer Museum of Art, and in 1979, it became the home of the Museum of Anthropology. The Museum of Anthropology has remained there since, though it was renamed the Anthropological Research and Cultural Collections in 2005, according to the University's Campus Building Directory. Inscribed on the front of Spooner Hall are the words "Whoso findeth wisdom,findeth life,"a favorite quote of Snow's which can be found in the Bible in Proverbs 8:35. The quote reflects Snow's religious background. However, it also reflects the spirit he tried to imbue in the University. —Edited by Kaitlyn Syring This one's too heavy Pumpkin Patch Emily Strupp, 5, of Pembroke Pines, Fla., strains to lift a pumpkin in a patch Wednesday at New Horizon United Methodist Church in Southwest Ranches, Fla.

The fair is free and "The hard part isn't recovery. It's rebuilding." sponsored by the University Career Center and Center for Community Outreach. Ann Hartley, associate director of the University Career Center, said about 200 students usually attended the event. She said students could interact with representatives from the organizations, who often talk about their own personal experiences. "You get a lot better info face-to-face," Hartley said. organizations include the American Red Cross, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Ecumenical Christian Ministries and Alternative Breaks. Hartley said about 40 organizations offering undergraduate and post-graduate volunteer opportunities would be at the event. Local HALEY MASTERSON Manhattan sophomore Masterson and others will be going to New Orleans on a trip sponsored by ECM. The ministry is sponsoring alternative break trips to Juarez, Mexico, El Salvador, Ariz., New Mexico and New Orleans. ECM is also planning a trip to help rebuild Greensburg, the Kansas town devastated by a tornado last spring. T h a d Holcombe, ECM pastor and alternative break director, said that participants would have fundraisers, such as dinners throughout the school year to help keep down costs for the volunteers going on the trips. During winter break, Masterson will travel to Dallas to work with people suffering from cerebral palsy. Masterson said that volunteering had been a rewarding experience for her and that she wanted to continue helping those less fortunate. "You just want to do everything *you can*," she said.

Edited by Chris Beattie >> CLAS System seeks to include 'A+ Plus/minus grading scale change proposed for fall 2008 BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences may be graded differently next fall. The college is seeking to change its grading system to a plus/minus scale, and requested to change University Senate rules and regulations to allow for the change. The plus/minus scale would assign a notation to students' letter grades, determined by their percent. Joesph Steinmetz, The measure to allow the change was approved through the College Academic Council before it was sent to University Governance. of student academic services in the College, said this was so the University could remain on a 4.0 grade scale, but students were recognized on transcripts as having received an "A+" The memo stated that an "A+" would not count towards grade point average and would only appear on transcripts. Both an "A+" and an "A" would factor into GPA as a 4.0. "Speaking as a journalism student and former member of CLAS, I think plus/minus is great. It allows you to be accountable with how a student did in a class." dean of the college, sent a memo to University Governance at the beginning of September requesting that University Senate change its rules and regulations to include an "A+" to appear on transcripts. The current policy only allows for "A," "A-," "B+," "B," "B-," "C+," "C," "C-," "D+," "D," "D-" and "F." Although several of the University's schools currently use a plus/minus grading scale, an "A+" is not allowed to appear on a student's transcript. The college currently does not attach a plus/minus notation to letter grades. Without approval from University Governance, the college can still Kim McNeley, assistant dean JACK CONNOR Overland Park senior implement a plus/minus grading system without including "A+" as a possible grade. In that case, a 93 percent or above in a class taken in the college would count as an "A." legislation," McNelev said. "Ifthe 'A+' does not get approved, I fully expect that we'll go back to CAC and approve the McNeyle said she expected the new grading system to start next fall. Bill Crowe, special assistant to dean of library and chair of the University Senate Executive Committee, said that the change was University Senate Academic Policy and Procedures Committee, which is required to make a recommendation to the University Senate Executive Committee by January 25, 2008. The University Senate Executive Committee will then make a recommendation to Senate, which is required to have spoken about the issue in at least two separate meetings before making a decision. The Chancellor then decides whether to approve the measure. "It's a very complicated process to ensure that the voice of constituencies are heard," Crowe said. "Unless it's urgent, we want to ensure that everyone knows what's going on before changing University policy?" Crove said that the University was unique in that it has a shared governance, where both students and faculty members sit on committees together. "I've seen it be a positive factor," Crowe said. "In other places, it's hard to get these issues going." "Speaking as a journalism student and former member of CLAS, I think plus/minus is great. It allows you to be accountable with how a student did in a class." Jack Connor, Overland Park senior in journalism and holdover senator, said. "Anytime you have more accountability in measuring achievement it lends more credibility to the University." McNeley said that administrators at the college began discussing a change in the grading system about six months ago. She said that Steinmetz, who became dean last year, met with each department in the college last year and heard repeated suggestions to reevaluate the current grading system. "The concern that was brought forward was the example of a student who earned 81 percent in a course and a student who earned 89 percent," McNeley said. "Our faculty felt that it was important to distinguish between those grades." Crowe said that he expected the Academic Policy and Procedures Committee to meet several times this semester before making a recommendation to the University Senate Executive Committee.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Petterson: The censorship of religious materials in prisons is a violation of inmates' right. WWW.KANSAN.COM THURSDAY,OCTOBER 4,2007 PAGE 5A EDITORIAL BOARD Increase in ResNet fees is outrageous The University needs revenue to improve infrastructure, but the entire system needs a change Barring delays, the Student Advisory Board will vote today on whether to increase ResNet fees to improve infrastructure in the residence and scholarship halls. While it's important that KU's housing has the best technology available, the increase—a flat $500 rate per year—exposes the fatal flaw of ResNet. It's a bloated, inefficient bureaucracy that needs a major overhaul. Students in University housing go through the motions when they move in. Download anti-virus software and get connected to the University's network. It's rarely this easy, causing the ResNet call line to be clogged with help requests. ResNet's student employees, dedicated though they are, simply can't keep up with demand. Unless a hall has been renovated (as have Lewis, Templin, Hasinger and Ellsworth), there is often only one data point for up to four people. In the Jayhawker Towers, there is one Ethernet port per suite, and it's in the living room. The cost of Ethernet cables and hubs is in addition to ResNet's semester fees. The fee package also includes cable television and phone service. By increasing fees, ResNet hopes to increase bandwidth and eventually implement wireless access in the residence and scholarship halls. ResNet scans for any contraband wireless or hardwire routers, and deactivates the accounts of students caught using them. The problem of ResNet goes back to simple economics. It's a monopoly, supplying a service that is necessary for the vast majority of students. Monopolies can't charge whatever they want, but they will charge whatever they can. Increasing fees will only give students motivation to take a chance and jury rig their own routers. At worst, it could also deter students from living in University housing at all. Any infrastructure improvements take time, and ResNet's currently have no set timeline. This means that, as of next year, students could pay $500 a year for improvements that they won't see before moving out of University housing or graduating. ResNet is, in effect, operating a Poni scheme. It is also not clear if the cost will go back down once the improvements have been made (don't count on it). ResNet is not efficient because it has no reason to be. It has no competitive threat and no profit motivation. There is one solution that may help save students from extortion-like fees, and save ResNet from itself. Privatize it. The point of living on campus is proximity and cost-efficiency. It is absolutely ridiculous for each person to pay $250 a semester when companies like Time Warner Cable charge $75 a month per household for a comprehensive digital cable, digital phone and broadband package. The University does business with numerous corporate sponsors. Coke and Pepsi duked it out to see who would dominate our vending machines. Why shouldn't two or more thirdparty providers do the same for our television, phone and Internet services? Allow companies such as Time Warner Cable or Sunflower Broadband to have a bidding war for rights to provide service to the University. Housing would receive an annual check, which could help alleviate fees across the board, and eliminate the administrative costs of ResNet since it'd technically no longer exist. The private service provider could charge standard prices, which in all but the most deluxe packages are still lower than what ResNet would charge, and be thrilled to have hundreds of built-in, reliable customers. If contracts were renegotiated every year, the company would have that much more incentive to provide excellent and affordable service. Unlike ResNet, it'd have a care for its profit margin and fear of competition, which translates into better, more efficient service. Students could also choose a package to suit their needs—expanded cable service, no landline phone—instead of being forced into ResNet's one-size-fits-all mold. Forcing students to pay $500 a year for improvements they'll likely never see is unfair. It almost defeats the entire purpose of on-campus living. ResNet's reputation for efficiency is less than sterling, and is unlikely to ever improve under the current model. Privatization would stimulate competition, lower prices and increase efficiency. Unless a radical improvement comes from within ResNet itself, it may be the only way to save the University's housing data service apparatus. BURRITO-MADE EPIPHANIES DRAWING BOARD ...AND SO WE THINK IT WOULD BE IN IRAQ'S BEST INTERESTS TO DIVIDE IT INTO SEPERATE STATES... MAX RINKEI I LOVE EVERYBODY A comedian's take on University costs Zach White recreates Todd Nuttersworth's observations on campus parking and textbook fees ZACH WHITE This past weekend and I were looking for some fun and we ended up at the Funny Barn in Oksaloosa where we saw a comedian named Todd Nuttersworth. He performed for like two hours, and was simply delightful. The following is a mere sample of this man's performance: "Hey, how many of you guys have been up to Lawrence recently? The University of Kansas, yeah? What's the deal with trying to find a parking space up there, huh? It's so difficult to find a place to park up there, it's like, where are we, China? No, well not yet, right? up there for a gig not too long ago, on campus protesting all the homosexuals. No, I was doing comedy, but I actually did find a place to park in that parking garage by the Union up there, and I went to go pay for it, and it was a dollar an hour! And I was like, 'Why don't you just take my first born child already?' Am I right? But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that I was fifteen minutes late because I stopped in the bookstore. Because of all this I've been hearing about raising textbook prices. So I was looking at all the textbook prices while trying to figure out which internal organs the students were selling to buy these things, am I right? "But seriously folks, I was up there for a gig not too long "So anyway I come out of the Union thinking about how to talk my kids into a life of fast food management, when I see this parking department person giving me a ticket with their little computers and I asked what was going on and they told me that I was late and they were giving me a ticket. I asked them how much it cost and they told me, 'Four extra percent on your student loan!' But seriously, it cost $20. think I read recently that they're having even more parking trouble up there since they started building that new practice facility. Whose idea was that, Donald Rumsfeld? I haven't heard of a bigger waste of money and space since Rosie O'Donnell joined "The View." You know who will like it, though; those people that are out selling their lawns for $50. That or one biology textbook. "Thank you, I'm Todd Nuttersworth, you've been a great audience. Have a great night. Remember to tip your wait staff." White a Colorado Springs, Colo., junior in journalism. "But you know, speaking of, I Lawrence is a city of epitomes It's easy to organize people into categories, and just as easy to forget individualism ROSS STEWART ROSS STEWART A few days ago while I was drinking a beer in the shower I realized something: this town is where the epitomes live. Now, a few people have asked me, "Ross, what do you do with the beer when you're washing your hair?" The ideal place to put the tasty brew is somewhere above the showerhead, say the frame of the door to the shower, but it is a delicate balancing act. If in a bind, one can use the side of the tub nearest the shower head to prevent getting soapy suds in the tasty suds. I really do recommend drinking a beer in the shower, it's probably the most refreshing experience I've ever had. But back to what I was saying. This town is where the epitomes live. It's a lot like Las Vegas, you know. "Everything that can be done can be overdone." But in the case of Lawrence it's people instead of buildings and buffets. The abundance of epitomes here is astounding. Before transferring here this year I thought of myself as pretty worldly, a cultured man who had traveled and seen many things. I thought I had seen tight jeans; this was not so. I thought I had met a man with "short man syndrome;" this was not so. I thought I had seen a hippie; this was not so. The list goes on: sorority girls, ballers, amazing professors, artists, stoners, geniuses, banana eaters, racists, writers, players, emos, bay kids, bad professors, fornicators, protein shake drinkers—I once thought that I had met the people who represented these types before (their ambassadors if you will), but in Lawrence I've met people who completely embody the persona of these characters. The male chain-smoking English major who wears 80's sunglasses and my sister's jeans, and somehow found a pair of L.A. Gears from the 90's in a men's size (the shoes that have blinking lights on them); he completely fits a typecast, though I'm not too sure what it's called as of yet. I suspect it's something along the lines of hipster. But, here's something else. I began to look at people like this, with this epitome filter on and I began losing my humanity. No longer was I looking for an individual's personality, rather I just summed them up after a quick glance or a few words. Like this conversation: Girl: "Ugh, college is hard, we've got this book to read but I'd rather watch the movie." Me: "Yeah, reading in college, who would've thought we'd be doing that." As she walked away, I read the back of her sorority T-shirt and thought maybe I was being judgmental, and the thing is, I was. What I'm trying to say is, yes there are some goofy and horrible people here—people who completely embody all that many of us despise or love, but give all of them a chance. Epitomes deserve compassion too. Ask someone new for coffee, someone you don't know but just see on campus. If they look interesting, try to chat. The worse that can happen is receiving no response. And then there's about what, 28,999 more students left to meet (not to mention professors and others alike). The chances are high that one could meet someone they'd truly enjoy.

Smith + 6A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY RAILY KANSAN RECORDS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2007 University notifies students named in leaked documents Investigation committee questions employee about disposal of records BY COURTNEY CONDRON ccondron@kansan.com The committee investigating private documents sent to local newspapers on Sept. 19 has contacted some of the students whose information was leaked, and has met with at least one faculty member regarding the disposal of private information. Lynn Bretz, director of communications, said the investigation was underway, and the University's highest priority was completing it. "This is very tedious work, and they want to do it right." Bretz said. "I think that everyone will benefit from what we have learned from this." Gloria Prothe, an administrative professional in the department of mathematics, has met with the committee about the procedures she uses for disposing of documents. Prothe was implicated for not disposing of materials correctly in a letter that accompanied the leaked documents. "I have a lot of respect for the people on that committee, and I think they are all bright and fair people," Prothe said. Bretz said the committee had been sending letters to some students and calling others, depending on the type of information that was released about them. Matt Erickson, a Kansan campus editor, received two letters from Provost Richard Lariviere. The letters, which were the same, informed him of what had happened and the measures the University was taking to prevent documents from being leaked again. In the letter, Lariviere said that the University took the matter very seriously and that additional steps would be taken should the investigation identify other issues. Larviere also said in the letter that the chances of any identity theft were minimal. He directed those who wanted to take further precautions to the Web site,www ku.edu/identity. Conor Sixta, Overland Park junior, had a graded math test in the documents mailed to The Kansan. Sixta was unaware that his information was leaked until he was contacted by The Kansan. Sixta said he was concerned that he hadn't been notified by the University. "It shouldn't be my job to go to the University to find this out when this is the University's error," Sixta said. The leaked documents were originally sent to The Kansan, The Kansas City Star and The Lawrence Journal-World. The Kansan received two packets, each with a cover letter explaining that the material was recovered from recycling bins in the math department and dumpsters behind Snow Hall. The packets included graded tests, seating charts, faxes, transcripts and job applications. The Kansan has now destroyed all of the documents it received. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell Student questions diversity CAMPUS sneff@kansan.com BY SARAH NEFF "Why is it that one of the biggest issues at KU is what font to use?" Kirby said. "Why do we only focus on immediate things?" Maurice Bryan, associate vice provost for diversity and equity, said the University administration was committed to increasing student, staff and faculty diversity. He said they weren't satisfied with the numbers either and the lack of diversity reached beyond the grasp of the University. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Marcus Kirby sat in front of Wescoe Hall Tuesday afternoon as the sky turned gray and rain began pelting the ground. Behind him was a large white cloth banner tied between two trees. "Diversity at KU: Don't believe the Hype" was written across it in black spray paint. "It's true in higher education everywhere because not enough people of color have pursued the academic path. We need to increase that "I don't want to say that race doesn't really matter because it does," Kirby said. "It's not only how you identify yourself on the inside, but it's also this imposed view that people have on you. It's not necessarily the responsibility of people to disprove those myths in everyday interactions with people in the majority population," he said, "but if you have a class that's primarily composed of white students I don't feel that you are going to get any of that diversity." Kirby said the lack of diversity in his everyday interactions bothered him. He looked up enrollment demographics at the University and compared it to state and national populations. For example, the black students comprised 3.4 percent of students enrolled at the University in Fall 2006. In 2005, the census bureau reported 5 percent of the population in Kansas was black, and 12.8 percent of the population in the U.S. was black. Kirby, Olathe senior, said he created the sign to bring attention to diversity at the University of Kansas. Kirby has been by his sign several days in the last week.

Take Back the Night is a national event that supports survivors of sexual assault, abuse and violence. Aaji-Yoyinka, said she hoped to focus on the different types of violence not limited to physical abuse, but also emotional abuse. She said some people were victims of abuse without realizing it. Women's studies professor Omofolab Aaji-Soyinka will speak at the event. She said if students and the Lawrence community became more knowledgeable about domestic and sexual violence, less violence would occur. "They don't know" Ajaiy-Soyinka said. "Violence has become so normal to them." "Women in particular should be able to stand up," Ajayi-Soyinka said. "They should look for resources and hold on to those resources." Aaji-Soyinka said in college, students are typically away from home and it is important for them to take responsibility for their own safety. Gretchen Auten of the Women's Transitional Care Services said part of the importance of the event was providing information to the public. Auten said domestic abuse occurred on campus and throughout the Lawrence community. She said a study reported one in eight women experiences some form of domestic or sexual abuse throughout their college career. "It's a safe space," Auten said. "It can be very purifying for them because they've always been told not to talk about it." Auten said the night would be a mix of upbeat and somber moments. During a time of "speakouts," participants are invited to share their experiences, or express their fears or sadness. The event will also feature The Clothesline Project, where survivors have decorated shirts to hang on a clothesline to convey their feelings. Auten said the shirts weren't censored and were another moving experience for viewers. "A lot of them are very raw," Auten said. "But I've also seen very sweet ones, with butterflies and things of people who are just happy they're out of the situation." Elise Higgins, Topeka sophomore, worked on the planning committee for the Lawrence Take Back the Night. Higgins said the night would begin with speakers and tabling in South Park, followed by a march down Massachusetts Street. The night will end in Buford Park with a candelight vigil. Higgins said Robin Richards, a rape survivor, would speak at the event. There will also be entertainment from the local band Coat Party and singer Lauren Taylor, Wichita, sophomore. Higgins said the event would bring the Lawrence community and students together to raise awareness and provide information about local resources. "I think when people have a better understanding of other people's experiences they have a better understanding of the community as a whole," Higgins said. Take Back the Night will begin at 5 p.m. in South Park, and the march will begin at 7:30 p.m. There is an optional donation of $10 for a T-shirt. — Edited by Elizabeth Cattell Post Comments Be heard KANSAN.COM THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2007 NEWS 7A CRIME Companies file $1.2 million lawsuit First of 26,000 people sued by music industry to settle case in court Jammie Thomas, left, talks with her lawyer Brian Toder, Tuesday outside the Federal Courthouse in Duluth, Minn. Thomas was accused by the recording industry of sharing music online in violation of copyright laws. She is the first of 26,000 people sued by the industry to take her case to trial. An industry group and six recording companies claim she illegally offered 1,702 songs for free on a file-sharing network. ALEXANDRA RODRIGUEZ BY JOSHUA FREED ASSOCIATED PRESS Associated Press DULUTH, Minn. — A Minnesota woman, who record companies say illegally shared music online, testified in federal court Wednesday that she didn't do it, though she acknowledged giving conflicting dates for the replacement of her computer hard drive. Six major record companies have accused Jammie Thomas, 30, of sharing 1,702 songs online in violation of the companies' copyrights. The record companies claim they found the songs on a Kazaa file-sharing account they later linked to her. The companies involved in the lawsuit are Sony BMG, Arista Records LLC, Interscope Records, UMG Recording, Inc., Capitol Records and Warner Bros. Records. Thomas is the first trial in 26,000 similar cases brought by record companies against individuals across the country. Other defendants ended the cases against them by paying the record companies a settlement. Thomas said before the trial, which began Tuesday, that her hard drive was replaced in 2004, but she agreed Wednesday that it actually was replaced on March 9, 2005. The disparity is important because the companies said she received an instant message on Feb. 21, 2005, warning her that she was violating copyright laws by sharing songs online. The companies said she replaced the drive to cover her tracks — not to rectify persistent problems, as she claims. Thomas, of Brainerd, Minn., defended giving the erroneous date by saying she had been confused about several dates. She testified under questioning from record company lawyer Richard Gabriel that while pursuing a college degree in marketing, she did a case study on the original Napster file-sharing program and concluded that it was not illegal. A judge ruled in 2001 that it was. She acknowledged she listened to — or owned CDs released by — more than 60 of the artists whose music was in the Kazaa file-sharing folder examined in the case. Thomas denied the folder was hers. "Did you ever have Kazaa on your computer?" Thomas' attorney, Brian Toder, asked her. "No," Thomas said. Thomas set up her computer in court to show the jury how quickly CDs could be copied onto it. That demonstration came in response to testimony from an expert for the record companies, Doug Jacobson, who said the songs on one of Thomas' computer drives were copied at a pace so fast it suggested piracy. Many appeared just 15 seconds apart, which Jacobson claimed was faster than Thomas could have copied onto the computer songs from CDs she owned. But each song Thomas copied in court in response to Gabriel's objection took less than 10 seconds to land on the computer. what was available in February 2005, when the files in contention were put on her hard drive. Kevin Havemeier, Thomas' boyfriend at the time, testified that she had talked about problems with her hard drive before the lawsuit came up. He also said he never saw her download music. Jacobson said the comparison might not be valid because the version of Windows Media Player that Thomas used to copy, or "rip", the CDs in court was different from A worker from Best Buy Co's Geek Squad testified that Thomas' hard drive was replaced under an extended warranty plan in 2005 that would generally have required her approval. But under cross-examination by Toder, the worker said he didn't have a record of her approving the replacement Sales of recorded music have decreased in recent years as people have increasingly turned to file-sharing. The Recording Industry Association of America, which is not a party involved in the lawsuit, said record companies have brought more than 26,000 actions against people they allege shared files online in violation of copyrights. Most defendants have settled by paying a few thousand dollars.

Forty-six homes in the La Jolla neighborhood were evacuated, but no one was hurt in the collapse, which occurred the morning after city officials warned residents of four homes not to sleep in them because the land might give way. The collapse shortly before 9 a.m. topped power lines and left a 15-foot-deep ravine of crumpled pavement. Orange traffic cones and sections of big concrete pipes sat in the fissure slashing across the boulevard. Holli Weld was walking her son to preschool when the street collapsed. "It was sinking as I was walking by," she said. "The street was sinking before our eyes." Authorities said that most residents had gone to work and that only seven people were inside the homes when the collapse occurred The landslide cut a cone shape through the neighborhood of million-dollar homes, said Robert Hawk, a city engineering geologist. He said that six homes were damaged or destroyed and that two others were in danger, but that the land problems appeared to be contained. "It is fairly well-defined and localized." Hawk said. The city sent letters to residents Monday and Tuesday warning them, and the outside firm hired by the city recommended Tuesday that four homes be evacuated, Hawk said. Make Reservations Now!

Scientists are amazed at the chomping ability of a newly described duck-billed dinosaur. The herbivore's powerful jaw, more than 800 teeth and compact skull meant that no leaf, branch or bush would have been safe, they say. "It really is like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of dinosaurs — it's all pumped up," said Scott Sampson, curator of the Utah Museum of Natural History. The newly named Gryposaurus monumentensis, or hook-beaked lizard from the monument, was discovered near the Arizona line in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in 2002 by a volunteer at the site. Details about the 75-million-year-old dinosaur, including its name, were published in the Oct. 3 edition of Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society. Duck-billed dinosaurs were previously known to have been among the most imposing herbivores, with hundreds of teeth and a body that could knock down trees. Gryposaurus monumentensis, at least 30 feet long and 10 feet tall with a robust jaw and thick bones, was like a duck-billed dinosaur on steroids, said paleontologist Terry Gates. "It's basically the Cretaceous version of a weed-whacker," he said. "You have a very formidable herbivore." Although paleontologists said Wednesday that the dinosaur could eat just about any plant it wanted, scientists still aren't sure what it dined on. Southern Utah is now a rocky desert with few trees, but 75 million years ago it was a dinosaur haven that looked something like Louisiana today, Gates said. "It's very humid and wet, with lots of ponds and lots of rivers and creeks flowing through it. It was very lush," he said. Sampson said fossils of duckbilled dinosaurs once lived throughout the northwestern part of North America. The newly discovered version has a smaller skull that allowed it to apply more force to what it was eating. "By shortening the skull, you can get more power per bite. The shrinking of the skull and the robustness of the jaw and snout all lead me to think this guy was made to eat." Gates said. However, the duck-billed dinosaur's teeth and size would not have been much of a defense against area predators such as the tyrannosaur. Scientists also aren't sure if the new dinosaur was a loner or traveled in herds for protection because so few skeletal remains have been found. It's one of several questions scientists are hoping to answer, along with how and why different species of the duck-billed dinosaur developed. NATION POLICE BK42 Associated Press An unidentified television photographer interviews officer Nick W. Borys of the Georgetown, Colo., Police Department about the five maintenance workers trapped in a pipe at an Xcel Energy hydroelectric power plant. A fire started in the facility near the small mountain community on Tuesday. Rescue workers were toiling to reach the workers as night fell on the mountains. Fire kills 5 trapped workers Machine in hydroelectric plant starts chemical blaze JUDITH KOHLER ASSOCIATED PRESS GEORGETOWN, Colo. — Five workers trapped at least 1,500 feet underground survived an initial chemical fire at a hydroelectric plant, but died before emergency workers could rescue them. Investigators were trying to determine how they died, and the county coroner's office was working Wednesday to identify the workers and remove their bodies. Crews who entered from the bottom of the sloping tunnel to put out the fire discovered the bodies late Tuesday, Clear Creek County under- sheriff Stu Nay said. They were among a group of nine contract maintenance workers in the tunnel when a machine used to coat the inside of the 12-foot-wide pipe with epoxy caught fire. Xcel Energy spokeswoman Ethnie Groves said. Xcel refused to release the name of the contractors' employer. Exactly what burned is still under investigation, Xcel spokesman Mark Stutz said Wednesday.

STUDENT SENATE The coroner's office was working to identify the workers, whose names had not been released early Wednesday. Officials initially expressed hope that the trapped workers could be saved. Groves first reported that authorities had communicated with the five by radio about 45 minutes after the fire broke out, and that the men said they were unhurt. The nine workers were sealing the inside of the pipe to prevent corrosion when equipment they were using malfunctioned and ignited a fire at 2 p.m. "We want to express our deepest sympathies to the families, friends and co-workers of those who died," said Tim Taylor, president and chief executive of Public Service Company of Colorado, an Xcel Energy Inc. company. "Certainly, we'll be working closely with the authorities to investigate what happened." The underground tunnel delivers water from a reservoir to turbines that generate electricity and empties into a second, smaller reservoir. The plant, technically called a pumped storage facility, is located high in the Rocky Mountains. Xcel said the tunnel initially rises 1,500 feet at a gentle sloping angle, then another 1,500 feet at a 15-degree angle. The pipe then rises 1,000 feet at a 55-degree angle before running vertical for its final 50 feet. The smoldering fire broke out about halfway into the pipe. The five workers were trapped at the junction of the 15-degree pipe and the 55-degree pipe, Xcel said. Personnel from at least a dozen agencies, including a mine rescue crew and an Alpine rescue team, rushed to the site 2 miles outside Georgetown, a former mining town with mountain views. Victorian buildings and bighorn sheep that attract tourists. Officials lowered breathing masks and piped in oxygen to the men, who had scrambled up the tunnel and sought shelter behind a temporary valve used to prevent water from seeping into the pipe, said Maj. Rick Albers of the Clear Creek County sheriff's department. At 5:40 p.m., the mine crew entered the bottom of the tunnel to extinguish the fire. At the top of the tunnel, rescuers waited to rappel their way down to reach the workers but authorities later said they decided it would be safer to reach the workers from the bottom. The hydroelectric plant generates electricity by releasing water from the top reservoir into the lower reservoir, then pumping the water back to the upper reservoir. It was completed in 1967.

BASRA, Iraq — Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced Tuesday that he was slashing the remaining British contingent in Iraq by nearly 20 percent. A beleaguered Iraqi leader said his own forces would be ready to take up the slack in the country's oil-rich southernmost province in two months.

And everything that the Americans can't fly out of the country when they eventually leave must make the long and potentially dangerous read journey to Kuwait through Basra province. Brown is said to be contemplating early elections in Britain, where the war is very unpopular. He arrived in Baghdad midmorning and went straight into a meeting with his Iraqi counterpart, Nouri al-Maliki. "We are prepared to take over security of Basra within two months and we will," al-Maliki said after the meeting in his Green Zone office. "Basra will be one of the provinces where Iraqi forces will completely take over security." Brown confirmed al-Maliki's plans and said, "as we move to overwatch, we can move down to 4,500" troops from the current level of 5,500. He promised to bring the 1,000 troops home by Christmas. Last month, British troops vacated their last remaining base in down- residence of Britain's top commander in Iraq, Gen. Bill Rollo. Later, he traveled to Basra, where he gave a five-minute speech in Basra to British, Australian and U.S. forces, commending their courage. "What you are doing is making a big difference," he said. "You are building a democracy in this country by sustaining the people who want the people of this country, and not terrorists, to control the future of this country." U. S. commander Gen. David Petraeus, who met briefly with Brown, gave qualified assent to the British leader's plan. "I think that's actually quite doable. Basra currently has four battle groups. Iraqis are largely in the lead. There are innumerable challenges in the security situation in Basra, but there are really Iraqi solutions that are emerging to some of these," the American commander said. Britain's defense ministry said rocket and mortar attacks on their base at Basra airport had fallen sharply in the month since British troops left the city. Nevertheless, Karim al-Miahi, the head of the Basra security committee and a member in the provincial council, said the departure of the British force from the city "had a negative effect on security in the city" "Iraqi forces still are not able to control the situation which has deteriorated over the past three weeks. There has been an increase in assassinations of police and religious leaders. As for the areas around the British base, the situation is more stable. Shelling there has stopped," he told The Associated Press. Abdul-Maunim Karim, 50, a retired sailor who lives near the newly vacated presidential palace, agreed the area was quieter because the shelling had stopped. "But throughout the city violence remains at about the levels before the British troops left." British military leaders hope their troops will remain in charge only of training Iraq troops and border Former Prime Minister Tony Blair was greeted with a salvo of mortars as he made a final visit to the camp before leaving office in June. Soldiers at the time were reporting as many as 10 strikes a day. guards, securing key supply lines and responding to emergencies when called on by Iraqi commanders. Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno, the U.S. second-in-command in Iraq, noted that the fighting in Basra is mainly among rival Shiite groups. "In Basra, it's Shia-on-Shia power issues," Odierno said in Washington. "It's about who is going to control Basra. Frankly, in my mind, it's a political issue. The problem is they tend to use violence right now instead of peaceful means to solve those political issues. But I do believe the Iraqis need to solve that problem." The announcement about the planned troop reduction in Basra came as the country saw record low casualty numbers for September, suggesting U.S.-led forces are making headway against extremist factions and disrupting their ability to strike back. The U.S. death military toll for September was at least 65, the lowest since July 2006, according to figures compiled by AP from death announcements by the American command and Pentagon.

To help promote Breast Cancer Awareness Week, Salon Hawk is working in conjunction with Lazer 105.9 to collect and decorate bras to hang over the Kansas River. The campaign called "Bras Across The Kaw" officially kicked off yesterday to raise awareness for the cause. Students will be able to donate money to the cause as well. "The goal is to fill the box with bras and be able to string them across the Kansas River," Willis said. Emily Willis, owner of Salon Hawk, said the event was a good way for students to get involved with an important cause. Jessica Price. Lawrence sophomore, said she thought the promotional campaign was original and needed. "It's a good way to raise awareness of such a deadly disease and they aren't asking for money, so everyone should be able to help out," Price said. Students can also help the cause by paying for a pink hair extension when they get a haircut at Salon Hawk. Willis said she encouraged everyone to be a part of "Pink Hair For Hope." Pink hair extensions cost $10 per extension. "You come in and get one pink hair extension and all of the money will go directly to breast cancer awareness," Willis said. Kristen Redman, a Salon Hawk stylist, said the salon has set a $7,000 goal for "Pink Hair for Hope." "We've raised just under $3,000 right now and all the money we raise from it will go to local breast care funds, so it will help the local community," Redman said. The American Cancer Society reported over 2.5 million cases of breast cancer among women this year and that an estimated 40,460 women will die from it. "Bras Across The Kaw" will take place the next few weeks. If interested in donating a bra to the cause, the donation box is located inside Salon Hawk, on level 3 of the Kansas Union.

The imposing 6-foot-6, 250-pound quarterback has completed 86 straight passes without an interception. That's important because before those 86 passes, he threw 19 interceptions and only seven touchdowns in his career. He seems headed in the right direction and ready to pick apart the Jayhawk defense by firing to receivers on short routes. RUNNING BACKS ★★★☆☆ Sophomore Leon Patton established himself as a super quick back as a freshman last year when he averaged 5.6 yards per carry. But Patton fell into a sophomore slump this season with 2.5 yards per carry and a long run of only 12 yards. Senior James Johnson now receives the bulk of the carries and has scored a team-high five touchdowns. Johnson is also a threat in the passing game. He is Kansas State's third leading receiver. KANSAS 5 RECEIVERS Senior Jordy Nelson serves as the most important player on the Wildcat offense. Nelson, a Riley County native, averages more than 10 receptions per game, has thrown two touchdown passes and returned a punt 89 yards for a touchdown against Texas. He ranks second in nearly every statistical category in the Big 12. On the other side of Nelson, Junior Deon Murphy serves as a perfect target for Josh Freeman in the Wildcat's precision passing game. ★★★☆☆ ★★★★★ OFFENSIVE LINE Plagued by inexperience and injuries, the Kansas State offensive line may be the team's one area of concern. Left tackle Alesana Alesana was manhandled by All-American Quentin Groves in Kansas State's 23-13 season-opening loss to Auburn. Highlights of Groves running over, under and around Alesana infiltrated everything from local sports shows to SportsCenter. But Alesana seemed improved against Texas and new right tackle Penisini Liu has solidified the other tackle spot in his two starts. ★★★☆☆ DEFENSIVE FRONT SEVEN Junior lan Campbell switched from defensive end to outside linebacker before the season and hasn't slowed linebacker before down the Wi sac tion fuml 1 with a bit. campbell has proven for the second year in a row that he's the Wildcats' biggest playmaker with two sacks, a touchdown off of an interception, three quarterback hurries and a fumble recovery. With offenses fearing Campbell, senior defensive linemen Steven Cline and Rob Jackson have found easier paths to opponents' quarterbacks and backfields. Senior Josh Freeman middle linebacker Joshua Rosland is second on the team with 25 tackles. Sophomore John Houlih isn't even a starter but is tied for third on the team with 19 tackles. S down the r transit smoothly pick off pa Kansas State's front seven aren't just good; they're scary. ★★★★★ Throwing the ball on the Wildcats isn't easy, either. Senior free safety Marcus Watts leads the secondary by patrolling the middle of the field. Senior cornerback Justin McKinney not only shuts down the opponent's best receivers but is a force in the running game. Junior strong safety Gary Chandler's transition from junior college to an FBS-school has gone smoothly. Everyone in the KSU secondary has the ability to pick off passes, as evidenced by the team's six interceptions. SECONDARY ★★★★☆ Case Keefer Kansas 4-0 Todd Reesing 4-0 QUARTERBACKS Just how good has Todd Reeing been this year? Nearly perfect. The sophomore has thrown 11 touchdowns and just one interception in his first season as a starter while completing 58 percent of his passes and compiling a passer rating of 166, 10th best in the nation. Reeing has allayed any preseason concerns about his lack of size with his ability to elude defenders and hurl 50-yard passes with ease. adidas ★★★☆ RUNNING BACKS As feature backs, sophomores Brandon McAnderson and Jake Sharp probably would not be elite. But combined, the bruising senior and speedy sophomore have become one of the most dangerous duos in the Big 12 Conference. Each averages more than six yards per carry, and the thunder and lightning change-up they present keeps defenses guessing. As an added bonus, Sharp has not carried the ball for a loss yet this season. RECEIVERS ★★★★☆ Coach Mark Mangino has made wholesale changes to the Kansas football program since his arrival in 2002, and it is especially evident in the receiving corps. Lean, tall and speedy receivers have replaced short and slow possession receivers in the Jayhawk offense. Freshman Dezmon Briscoe and sophomore Raimond Pendleton have potential, junior Dexton Fields has great hands and senior Marcus Henry has it all. After getting off to a fast start in 2007, the play of the group deteriorated slightly in the final two non-conference contests as receivers dropped a number of catchable passes. ★★★☆☆ OFFENSIVE LINE The Kansas offensive line is anchored by junior left tackle Anthony Collins. Collins, an impressive 6-foot-6, 310-pound specimen, could be the best tackle in the conference and eventually a high-round NFL draft pick. Senior right tackle Cesar Rodriguez is not spectacular, but does an adequate job of paving the way for the Jayhawks' run game. The middle of the line, which was a question mark entering the season, has proven itself to be a stable and cohesive unit in the early-going thanks to the communication skills of Junior center Ryan Cantrell. ★★★★☆ DEFENSIVE FRONT SEVEN The defensive line is home to the Jayhawks' greatest strength and perhaps their most glaring weakness. That strength is senior defensive tackle James McClinton and his eyes for the ball carrier. McClinton has recorded 20 tackles this season, including 5.5 tackles-for-loss. The weakness is the pass rush. Though much-improved over last season's rush, the Kansas defensive ends could have trouble collapsing the pocket against Big 12 offensive lines. The linebacking corps has been sturdy in 2007. Juniors Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen are big hitters with a knack for finding the quarterback and inflicting damage. Junior outside linebacker James Holt has been one of the team's most pleasant surprises, recording 27 tackles in the first four games. ★★★☆☆ SECONDARY The Jayhawk secondary is certainly the most improved piece of the team and could be one of the most improved units in the Big 12. After finishing last in the nation in passing yards allowed per game last season, Kansas currently stands at third in the nation. Junior cornerback Aqib Talib is one of the nation's best and most exciting shutdown corners, and if anyone said they expected true freshman wide receiver Chris Harris to perform so exceptionally this season, they weren't telling the truth. The safeties have also performed well. Sophomore Darrell Stuckey is finally healthy and hitting, and Junior Patrick Resby is consistent. ★★★★☆ — Asher Fusco DON T FORGET TO BRING YOUR POWER TOWEL! KSU 9 Max Binkel COMMENTARY Top 10 things Kansas must overcome to beat Kansas State BY BRYAN WHEELER 10. Interceptions Though sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing has thrown for 11 touchdowns and just one interception, Kansas State's defense intercepted against sophomore Texas quarterback Colt McCoy four times last weekend in Austin. 9. The Power Towel Note: As witnessed in the Free for All, many Kansas students have gotten a hold of the YouTube video titled "Hey KSU: 1989 called, it wants its promotional video back!" The video promotes the Power Towel, not to be confused with the South Park character "Towlie." It's available in the K-State Team Store for $4.99. Though the Power Towel does not show any real threat, Ron Prince and the Wildcats would like Kansas State fans to bring it to every game (see YouTube video). Whether there is more to the Power Towel than thousands of little fibers, we will never know. It 8. The Legend of Bill Snyder is best to play it safe and not to overlook the Power Towel. Before Bill Snyder, Kansas State was one of the worst teams in Division I-A. He turned the Wildcats from a laughingstock into one of the toughest teams in the Big 12. From 1989-2005, Snyder won 136 games, thus causing Kansas State to name its football stadium after him. From 1995 to 2004, Bill Snyder's Wildcats made it a routine to blow out Kansas every year. This year, it appears as if Ron Prince may once again be turning Kansas State into the powerhouse it was under Snyder's reign. Though the Jayhawks are looking tough this year, the Legend of Bill Snyder will be looming throughout Kansas State's Bill Snyder Family Stadium. 7. Sack Attack Kansas State is second in the Big 12 with 15 sacks, behind Oklahoma, who has 18 sacks.

Virginia Beach attorney Larry Woodward, who will represent Vick on the state charges, said Vick turned himself in last week in Surry County for pretrial processing and bonding. Vick already has pleaded guilty to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge and is awaiting sentencing Dec. 10. Woodward's appearance in court lasted less than 10 minutes. He walked in silence from the courthouse as about 30 reporters peppered him with questions. Vick was charged last week in the rural county, home to his dogfighting enterprise since 2001, with two state felony counts 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. His lawyers have said they will fight the state charges on the grounds he can't be convicted twice of the same crime. In pleading guilty to a federal conspiracy charge Aug.27, Wick admitted helping to kill six to eight dogs, among other things. He faces up to five years in prison, while co-defendants Tony Taylor, Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips also pleaded guilty to the same federal charge. Vick, suspended indefinitely by the NFL without pay, tested positive last month for marijuana, a violation of U.S. District Court Judge Henry Hudson's order that he stay clean in exchange for being allowed to be free. After that positive test, Hudson ordered Vick confined to his home address between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., with electronic monitoring and random drug testing.

This was a pitcher's duel. Jeff Francis held the league's highest-scoring team in check, and the Colorado Rockies took advantage of one shaky inning by Cole Hamels to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 in Game 1 of their NL playoff series Wednesday. Making just the second postseason appearance in the franchise's 15-year history, the Rockies played like October regulars. Colorado posted only its second postseason victory, the other coming in 1995. Matt Holliday, his chin still cut up from the face-first slide that won Monday's wild-card tie-breaker over San Diego, hit a solo home run. Colorado carried over its momentum from that victory, and won for the 15th time in 16 games. Francis, a 17-game winner, pitched six effective innings and stayed out of big trouble, mostly by shutting down the Phillies' top trio of Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins. Utley, Howard and Rollins combined to 0-for-11 with eight strikeouts. Utley, .332 hitter, struck out four times. Francis' lone problems came in the fifth when Aaron Rowand and Pat Burrell hit consecutive homers. Francis gave up four hits and struck out eight. Once the lefty departed, three relievers pitched three hitless innings, with Manny Corpas closing for a save. With the two highest-scoring teams in the league playing in two of the most hitter-friendly ballparkes in the majors, this series figured to see plenty of runs. Game 2 is Thursday afternoon with rookies Kyle Kendrick and Franklin Morales taking the mound. Kendrick (10-4) made the jump from Double-A to bail out Philly's depleted staff in June. Morales (3-2) made eight starts for Colorado, which also lost two starters to season-ending injuries. Despite the support of a rally towel-waving sellout crowd — the 45,655 fans in attendance was the second-largest total in four-year old Citizens Bank Park — the NL East champion Phillies came out flat. Perhaps they celebrated their first postseason since 1993 a little too hard. Instead, the clubs combined for six runs and 10 hits in the opener. Many hitters expected the late-afternoon shadows to be a problem, and they certainly struggled. Or, maybe Francis was just that sharp, especially the first four innings. Rowand finally got them going crazy, lining an opposite-field shot to right to start the bottom of the fifth. Burrell followed with a towering drive that just cleared the left-field wall to cut it to 3-2. But Francis worked out of a two-run jam to preserve the one-run lead, retiring Shane Victorino on a grounder to second with two runners on. Francis batted in the seventh and grounded out after faking a bunt. Manager Clint Hurdle then removed the 26-year-old lefty after warmups in the bottom half. Holliday, the MVP candidate, gave the Rockies an insurance run when he ripped Tom Gordon's pitch into the left-center field seats for a 4-2 lead in the eighth. Hamels, the 23-year-old All-Star lefty, was outstanding except for one inning. Making his first career start against the Rockies, he allowed three runs and three hits in 6-2 3-innings. Hamels uncharacteristically walked four and fanned seven. He kept his cool after walking Troy Tulowitzki on a 3-2 pitch to force in Colorado's third run, and retired the next 13 batters. Roughed up by the Phillies in two starts this season, Francis seemed like he was in for another tough day after falling behind leadoff hitter Rollins 3-0. But he regrouped and ended up striking out the side in the first. Francis made it four straight Ks, getting Howard swinging at a slow curve to start the bottom of the second. Francis had a 15.12 ERA against the Phils this season, but baffled their potent lineup with a mix of offse速 pitches. The Phillies' first postseason game since Joe Carter's homer clinched the World Series for Toronto in 1993 left this championship-starved city disappointed once again. At least, these Phillies will play another game. Todd Helton lined a triple to start the second and Garrett Atkins doubled. Yorvit Torealbä's one-out single to center drive in Atkins for a 2-0 lead. With two outs and the bases loaded, Hamels got ahead of Tulowitzki 0-2 before walking him to force in another run. But he struck out Holliday swinging on a changeup to leave the bases full. Holliday nearly hit a slam, just hooking a long foul down the left-field line. Aided by the Mets' historic collapse, the resilient Phillies went 13-4 to finally overtake New York for good on the final day. Their remarkable comeback made the Mets the first team ever to blow a seven-game lead with 17 games to play. NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma. It pays to save a life. NEED CASH?

Ask college football fans what the Sunflower Showdown is and they will be more inclined to guess that it's some kind of annual gardening competition. There's no denying that the Sunflower Showdown, the name given to the Kansas vs. Kansas State rivalry game, pales in comparison to Oklahoma and Texas' yearly slug fest in Dallas. Partly because of K-State's dominance of Texas last week in a 41-21 victory, Manhattan will be the site of the most important rivalry game this weekend - not Dallas. "I watched mostly all of the game and I'm glad that Kansas State won actually," Derek Fine, Kansas senior tight end and team captain, said. "This makes it a much bigger game for us." Oklahoma also fell victim to a shocking upset when Colorado beat it 27-24 last week. The Buffaloes' victories were more meaningful than simply bolstering the billing between Kansas and K-State this weekend, though. Two Big 12 North teams overcoming two Big 12 South powerhouses sent shockwaves across the nation. The Big 12 South has been considered the vastly superior division since the inception of the Big 12 Conference 11 years ago. But with Colorado and K-State's upsets, people are finally giving the Big 12 North respect. "These past few years everyone has talked about how the North is so much weaker than the South, and for two North teams to go in and knock off two top-10 ranked teams in the South, it's big for us," Todd Reesing, Kansas sophomore quarterback, said. "I think it shows we do have teams that can play and it makes the conference look that much stronger." It's no secret why the Big 12 South has garnered all the praise and applause the last few years. A team from the North hasn't won the Big 12 Championship in four years. Even when K-State won in 2003, Oklahoma still went on to play in the national championship. The next two years made for two more national championship appearances for teams in the Big 12 South. In the last three years, the South's record against the North is 39-15. Although the North's 2-0 record against the South this season is just a start, it's already gained attention from Big 12 South coaches. "The guys at Colorado can play and coach, the guys at Nebraska can play and coach and same with the guys at Kansas State and the guys at Missouri," Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State said, "If you polled the coaches in the South, I'm going to guess that they are going to say we better be ready to play because the teams in the North can beat us just big 12 match-ups Notable Big 12 North vs. Big 12 South games: Week 5 Kansas State 41, Texas 21 Colorado 27, Oklahoma 24 Week 7 Oklahoma State at Nebraska Missouri at Oklahoma Week 9 Kansas at Texas A & M Nebraska at Texas as easy as the teams in the South." Big 12 Conference play has barely begun, and it will take nearly two months to determine if the North has truly caught up to the South in 2007. But for this week, all the talk is surrounding the Big 12 North and all the focus is on the Sunflower Showdown. Edited by Meghan Murphy football notebook BULLETIN BOARD MATERIAL The Sunflower Showdown provides players with plenty of built-in motivation, but the Jayhawk wide receivers are getting an additional boost from the words of one Wildcat. Kansas State senior cornerback Justin McKinney said earlier this week that the Wildcats were faster than the Jayhawks. Kansas junior wide receiver Dexton Fields said he and his teammates had been using the statement for extra motivation. "Some comments that one of their players made kind of made us focus a little bit more, so we'll come out ready to play," Fields said. Fields also said the trip to Manhattan would give the Jayhawks a chance to prove themselves against a quality opponent in their first conference game of the season. TRICKY WILDCATS Coach Mark Mangino said Kansas would prepare for the possibility of Kansas State running trick plays by focusing on fundamentals. "You've just got to be sound in assignments," he said. "If everybody just handles their assignment and gets their read, we'll be OK." Kansas State wide receiver Jordy Nelson has thrown two passes this season and completed both for touchdowns. PETER WELCH ADDING TO THE SECONDARY Kansas fans shouldn't expect to see many changes in the secondary this weekend. Junior cornerback Kendrick Harper is back in action but is not challenging freshman Chris Harris for the starting job as of now. Mangino said Harper looked "rusty but good" after missing about a month with an arm injury. Sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb, who did not suit up two weeks ago despite being listed on the depth chart, should see playing time as a special teams backup at Kansas State, Mangino said. >> NFL -Asher Fusco Mangino Rams coach pulls quarterback All season, Bulger has insisted he was healthy enough to play. It's unclear how much time Bulger will need to heal after injuring the ribs Linehan also will return to playcalling in an effort to wake up a dormant offense that has scored only two touchdowns, yanking duties from offensive coordinator Greg Olson. Olson was Linehan's first hire when he got the job last year, and will move to the booth where he'll assist the head coach. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Bulger, a two-time Pro Bowl player, signed a six-year, $65 million contract extension in training camp. He has thrown four interceptions the last two weeks and was 11-for-24 for 114 yards and an interception in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Cowboys, the first sub-50 percent passing game of his career. Linehan said sitting Bulger was his call after reviewing the last three games, and not a decision made under pressure from superiors. 12 "Any theories or anything said out there are absolutely not true," Linehan said. "I look forward to a healthy Marc Bulger getting back in the lineup as soon as possible. while being sacked six times in the second week of the season against the Panthers. St. Louis Rams backup quarterback Gus Fretto will start in place of Marc Bulger, who has been playing with two broken ribs, for Sunday's home game against Arizona. Fretto has experience stepping in for injured players. "It's obvious to me there is something genuinely wrong, and I knew there was." The winless Rams will go with backup Gus Frerotte on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, Linehan said Wednesday. Frerotte and Bulger, who has been ineffective while playing with two broken ribs, both got the news on Tuesday from the coach and the news was made public before practice Wednesday. Bulger has been playing behind a patchwork offensive line decimated by injuries. Left tackle Orlando Pace and guard Mark Settterstrom are out all season with injuries, and guard Richie Incrito has yet to play because of a high ankle sprain although he's expected to return to the lineup on Sunday. Frotte also had success stepping in for injured Daunte Culpepper with the Vikings in 2003 when Linehan was the offensive coordinator there. That led to his deal with the Rams. AUTO JOBS LOST & FOUND FOR RENT ROOMMATE/ SUBLEASE Linehan likened his decision to take over play-calling again to a "lineup change." He expects to call plays the rest of the season, but knows better given the Rams' injury-riddled start not to promise anything. "He said 'We're going to switch things around and let's go, let's see what you've got'. Frerotte said. "I said, 'I'm ready.' We've made several changes this week and hopefully it'll show up on Sunday." ST. LOUIS — One day after insisting he'd stick with Marc Bulger, St. Louis Rams coach Scott Linehan benched his ranged-up quarterback. "I was never going to pull myself out, I know that much," Bulger said. "It's real easy to play hurt when you're winning, but it's just not in me to pull myself out when we're 0-4. BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS "He's a proven quarterback," Linehan said. "Even better yet, he understands his role and he knows what he's being asked to do." The 36-year-old Frerotte started 15 games in 2005 for Miami, where Linehan was the offensive coordinator at the time. Bulger will be Frerotte's backup against the Cardinals (2-2) on Sunday. "Get me through this week and you can ask me a whole new set of questions next Monday," Linehan said. "It was going to have to be the coaches pulling me out, and that's what happened." 50 Bulger had not been aware of Linehan's endorsement on Monday, avoiding the media glare. He did not argue his coach's about-face. FOR RENT ROOMMATE/ SUBLEASE "I've tried for a couple of weeks," Bulger said. "He had enough of me telling him I was OK."

The redesign of Kauffman Stadium offers the unique opportunity for employees to enjoy their work. BOSTON, Josh Beckett is Mr. Zero when October rolls around. The MVP of the 2003 World Series pitched his second consecutive postseason shutout and, backed KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals broke ground Wednesday on a $250 million renovation of Kauffman Stadium, which will include a new scoreboard, widened concourses and a team hall of fame. Kauffman renovations "We believe it will be the greatest ballpark in America," HOK principal architect Earl Santee said. "It's our ballpark and our team."

Christy Mathewson is the only pitcher with four postseason shutouts; Beckett tied Whitey Ford and Mordecai Brown with three. The victory was Boston's seventh straight in the postseason over the California-Anaheim-Los Angeles Angels, having come back from a 3-1 deficit to win in the 1986 AL playoffs and then sweeping them in the 2005 best-of-five first round. The only 20-game winner in the majors this year, Beckett struck out eight and walked none. Lackey allowed four runs, nine hits and two walks, striking out four in six innings. "That guy was very impressive. He's been like that all year," Ortiz said.

IN CONCERT CROSSROADS 10/13/07 www.wilcoworld.net The Red Sox sell out every night these days, and their fans tend to treat every game like the postseason even if the Yankees are involved, during spring training. So the ballpark didn't seem any different, except for the red, white and blue bunting hanging from the upper deck and the temporary photographers' boxes in front of the first row. In his first postseason appearance since coming back on three days' rest to shut out the Yankees, Beckett gave up a leadoff single to Chone Figgins and then retired the next 19 batters. That, and the fact that Beckett was on top of his game. Just like last time. Howie Kendrick singled in the seventh and Guerrero had another hit with two outs in the ninth. But Beckett got Garret Anderson to fly out to center field, and the Red Sox were celebrating another playoff victory over the Angels. Lackey had some October success of his own, winning Game 7 of the '02 Series to clinch the title for the Angels. But this right-handed Texan also had a more ominous history to live down: He is 1-7 against the Red Sox and 1-5 at Fenway Park, and on He gave up a single to Vladimir Guerrero with one out in the seventh and the crowd applauded politely, as if a no-hitter had been broken up. Wednesday his struggles continued. Youkilis, who was 0- for-2 as a backup during Boston's '04 World Series run, hit Lackey's sixth pitch over the Green Monster in left-center to make it 1-0. In the third inning, Youkilis doubled, and Ortiz followed with a line drive down the right-field line and into the stands for a 3-0 lead. It was the ninth career postseason homer for Ortiz, tying Jason Varitek for the franchise record. Lackey walked Manny Ramirez and put him on second with a wild pitch before Mike Lowell's single put the Red Sox up 4-0. Going anywhere for fall break? Not if your car fails you.

The upset of West Virginia, combined with an overtime win at then-No. 17 Auburn three weeks earlier, has earned the Bulls their first-ever Top 10 ranking in the weekly AP college football poll and is putting the sprawling school computer on the man. Football team rids school of undesirable label BY MITCH STACY ASSOCIATED PRESS Unranked and unheralded a month ago, the undefeated Bulls vaulted to No. 6 in this week's college football rankings after upset victories over Auburn and West Virginia. They even leapfrogged defending national champion Florida, which slipped to No. 9. TAMPA, Fla. — The University of South Florida has been dubbed "Terrorism U" and "ijihad U" in recent years because of a furor over a Palestinian militant on the faculty. But lately, to the school's delight, people are talking about USF for an altogether different reason: the football team. USF officials and alumni couldn't be happier, considering that before this, the 45,000-student school — the nation's ninth-largest public university — was probably best known for employing Sami Al-Arian, a former computer-science professor, who, after an investigation that lasted more than a decade, pleaded "I think everybody feels the real picture of USF will come through because of this," university spokesman Ken Gullette said of the football team's success. "This publicity hopefully is going to drown that out and carry us forward." gully last year to aiding Palestinian terrorists. News reports in the 1990s started linking Al-Arian and associates to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. A think tank founded by Al-Arian and partially sponsored by the university was shut down because the FBI suspected it was a front for the terrorist group. An Al-Arian associate who left USF resurfaced later as the head of the PIJ in the Middle East. Unable to fire the tenured Al-Arian, USF finally suspended him in 2001 after an on-air grilling on Fox by Bill O'Reilly about his suspected links to terrorists. He was indicted in 2003 and eventually dismissed by USEF. After a six-month trial, a federal jury failed to reach a verdict on most of the counts and acquitted Al-Arian The "ilhad U." label came up again over the summer when two USF students from Egypt were indicted on federal explosives charges. One is accused of posting an online video that showed how to use a remote-controlled toy to set off a bomb. on others. He later pleaded guilty to one count and agreed to be deported after serving more jail time. The 51-year-old school has long been overshadowed by the University of Florida. Florida State and the University of Miami. The football team's success "brings a whole new atmosphere to the school," said Matt Staton, a 20-year-old junior. "I've been to Tallahassee; I've been to Gainesville — they are football towns with established rivalries and everything. And now we're actually part of this. We're no longer considered just that commuter school in Tampa." MLB Baseball merchandise sales soar USF President Judy Genshaft said: "I see athletics as being the front porches to the rest of the university. It gives people a chance to know the university." BY RANDY PENNEL ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Combine popular players, big markets, a team on a hot streak and a trio of long-suffering cities desperate for a World Series champion, and what do you get? If you're Major League Baseball, a problem. But at least it's a good one to have. At Sports World, across the street from Wrigley Field, sales of Cubs memorabilia were also sped up. Employees stuffed division championship T-shirts and hats into priority mail boxes to meet the demand from online orders. The traditionally stagnant Phillies, the lovable loser Cubs and the sometimes hapless Indians are in the playoffs. So are the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels, while the Colorado Rockies are riding a furious late-season rally and flying high off a win in a wildcard tiebreaker. And their merchandise is selling so fast that Major League Baseball has a hard time keeping up. For franchises with traditionally strong sales like the Yankees and Red Sox, that isn't unusual, according to Mike May, the director of media relations for the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association. "Internet sales are through the root," said Earl Shaevitz, one of the store owners. "We can't even keep up with it, selling all over the country and to Europe." "We never give out numbers, but suffice it to say it is at a record pace, for sure," said Howard Smith, Major League Baseball's senior vice president of licensing, said Tuesday. "We're struggling to keep up with the demand as we speak." With a regular season that came down to the final weekend — and beyond, in the case of the Rockies, who needed a one-game playoff to win the wild card — the confluence of big markets, rabid fan bases and potential storybook endings are increasing memorabilia sales. The urge to buy was strong in the playoff cities on Wednesday. "We're not used to this stuff in September," Reed said. We did the last ordering probably about a month or two months ago. So, yeah, it's really hard to keep stuff in here on a constant basis." The Phillies store at Citizens Bank Park was doing brisk business hours before the Phillies-Rockies game with lots of fans picking up practically anything bearing the NL East champions logo. Josh Cramer, 25, was buying a Ryan Howard batting practice jersey to add to his collection. He already owns a Chase Utley road jersey and a Mike Schmidt throwback jersey. "I've been wanting to get another one for a long time, and this seemed like the perfect time." Cramer said. Across the street from Coors Field in Denver, the store Sportfan still hadn't received Rockies wild card T-shirts or hats. Assistant manager Clayton Reed said the phone had been ringing off the hook from people requesting the merchandise. But it could get bigger if one of the Cinderella teams wins the World Series. "In these other markets — Phillies, Cubs, Rockies — whatever's not nailed down is going to go," May said. The Cubs could bring an end to their 99-year title drought and break the Curse of the Billy Goat. In the season they recorded their 10,000th loss, the Phillies are trying to win Philadelphia's first major championship since the 76ers won a NBA title in 1983. The Rockies could capture a fairy-tale World Series title after winning 14 of their last 15 games just to make it into the playoffs. And the Cleveland Indians have a chance to win its first championship since 1948. In a year with relatively ho-hum playoffs, MLB might see the postseason produce about 5 percent of its merchandise sales, said Smith, the league official. This year, it could be as high as 20 percent. While the league does not release sales figures, the manufacturers association reported total sales of MLB merchandise was $3.1 billion in 2005, the last year for which figures were available. That was up from $2.9 billion in 2004, when the Red Sox won the World Series and touched off a buying frenzy that lasted into May, Smith said. May says fans just get swept up in the excitement and have to be a part of it. "When people get caught up in the excitement of a winning team, especially in the case of the Red Sox and White Sox (the 2005 World Series champs) who had not tasted HARRIS 2 JONES 11 LILLY 30 LEE 25 LAMBRAND 30 WOOD 84 RIOR 22 LILLY 30 LEE 25 LAMBRAND 38 victory in decades, people feel, "If I don't buy now, I'll never get a chance to buy them as a winner, because it may be just as long before they win it again." May said. ASSOCIATED PRESS Nancy Gehman, a Phillies season ticket holder since 1994, understands that feeling completely. She has been waiting a long time to see the Phillies get back to the playoffs for the first time since 1993. "It's been 14 years," said Gehman, who was buying an NL East champs shirt and two hats. "We enjoyed just coming to the game, even those ones where nobody was in the stands. They didn't have a lot of this other stuff yet." Many Flores hangs more Chicago Cubs jersey on the wall at the Sports World merchandise store Wednesday across the street from Wrigley Field in Chicago. With several traditionally bad teams in the playoffs, MLB could see up to a 15 percent increase from last year in postseason merchandise sales. ΣTC Represent Your House!

Iowa State swept Kansas, 3-0 (30- 24, 30-25, 30-19) at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa, giving the Cyclones their fifth straight victory against the Jayhawks. The loss dropped the Jayhawks to 9-7 and 2-4 in the Big 12 Conference, while the Cyclones improved to 11-5 and 5-1 in the Big 12. "A lot of people have always said they've had good personnel," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "Now they have some momentum going, and they're 5-1 in the league." Senior setter Emily Brown led Kansas with nine kills and 21 assists, while senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart added seven kills in her second game back from injury.

Love said that the current calender was more conducive to a K-12 system than a college system and the new would give students a longer summer break, allowing for better internship opportunities.

Here are three perfect ways to celebrate this break: Walk on campus. Without a backpack, an iPod, or a specific destination, it's a totally different experience. Kick off a season of warm winter drinks by making yourself a mug of hot chocolate or fresh apple cider—and, if desired, add the liquor of your choice. - Sift through your music and create your very own autumn-friendly playlist or mix CD.

But according to Lawrence dermatologist Lee Bittenbender, it's a better idea to skip the tanning session of your salon trip. "If your skin is tanned, it's damaged," he says. "Your skin can't tell the difference between sunlight and lights in a tanning bed." The sun emits both UVA and UVB rays, a tanning bed only emits UVA rays. Unfortunately, says Bittenbenden, UVA rays penetrate the skin much deeper than UVB. "Some adverse effects of tanning are premature ageing of the skin and development of unwanted pigment, he says." There's also a whole group of skin diseases affected by UV lights." One condition is melasma, which is characterized by blotchy brown pigment in the face brought on by UV rays, and is particularly common in women taking birth control pills. Bittenbender stresses that while students may want to look nice and tan now, the long-term effects will not be worth it. "When you're in college, you feel immortal," he says, "but in time you'll start asking 'Where did that brown spot come from?' or 'Where did those wrinkles come from?'" If you fear you can't get that golden tone, though, don't worry. Bittenbender says that artificial tans such as sprays and store-bought "tans in a tube" are a perfectly safe alternative.

"Rose water helps pull the skin together and helps cells to regenerate," says Tenanche Rose Golden, author of the book Rose Flower Essences. Golden says rose water is packed with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory elements that keep hair follicles from flaring up, and can even ease more unpleasant skin conditions like chicken pox. Jodi Hutchinson, founder of the skin care line Darshan Beauty, says rose water is more effective than standard body lotions at relieving irritation caused by shaving because it actually absorbs into skin cells. "With some products, the molecules are too big to really get in and soothe skin on the cellular level," Hutchinson says. "Rose water is highly water-soluble, so it really gets inside you and makes a difference."

USE THE FOLLOWING TIPS TO ENHANCE YOUR DAILY ROUTINE AND GUARANTEE YOURSELF AN ENJOYABLE VACATION. IT UP BEFORE YOU GO-GO NO WAY TO SPEND FALL TO ENHANCE YOUR DAILY ENJOYABLE VACATION. By Chris Horn PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY SARAH LEONARD Carly Wirick, Overland Park senior, was excited for her freshman year Fall Break. She and three of her friends had planned a road trip to Colorado, but as Fall Break and midterms grew nearer, Wirick began to feel under the weather. On the Wednesday before break, coming off three hours of sleep and holding back what she said felt like gallons of mucus, Wirick decided to tell her friends that she wasn't well enough to make the trip. "I was so disappointed," Wirck says. "We had planned that trip for a month and I feel like Mother Nature gave me a big slap in the face." During her last two Fall Breaks, Wirick, a nursing student, has paid careful attention to her health and body in an attempt to offset any form of sickness that may have come her way. By midterms, students are ready to throw in the towel in terms of textbooks and tests. Luckily, the University schedules that much-needed, four-day weeken called Fall Break that creates the perfect opportunity to hit the road and experience getaway gratification or simply to relax. Add these helpful tips to your daily routine the week before break to guarantee pleasurable time off. A WEEK BEFORE DEPARTURE Nancy Betts, head of the Department of Nutritional Sciences at Oklahoma State University, says a diet low in saturated fat and high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains is best for good health. She says it's important to consume five to nine servings of each per day. Betts adds that if you're getting ready to travel, it's good to be well-hydrated. According to the Mayo Clinic, men should drink three liters of water per day and women should drink 2.2 liters daily. And before you start to guzzle down a four-pack of Red Bull as you study for your midterms, Betts says to look at the calories and ingredients of the common energy drink. High fructose corn syrup is a universal ingredient used in these drinks, and Betts says the syrup makes people's energy levels peak quickly, followed by a sharp decline of their blood sugar that results in fatigue and decreased concentration. Circuit training, a fitness routine consisting of easy-to-do upper- and lower-body workouts, gives students the best amount of training in the shortest amount of time, says Aimet Victoria, a personal trainer at Sky Sport & Spa in Beverly Hills, Calif., the fitness club featured on Bravo's hit TV show "Workout." Victoria says circuit training impacts the entire body without requiring too much obligation, which is the perfect solution for time-pressed students. She adds that this type of workout can be started at any time and is a great way to enhance your body's overall performance and increase energy. Nearly half of Victoria's clients are frequent travelers and she says that maintaining your workout on the road is surprisingly simple. She suggests buying a couple NOW THAT YOU'VE TWEAKED YOUR ROUTINE A BIT IN PREPARATION, HERE ARE SOME HINTS TO MAINTAIN YOUR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WHILE ON THE ROAD. Nutritionist Nancy Betts says to be on the lookout for the healthiest kinds of foods when you're on your trip and acknowledges that finding low-fat foods is a difficult task. She says avoiding fast food is practically impossible, so eat the healthy alternatives such as salads or non-fried foods. Personal trainer Almet Victoria suggests that people who travel during their workout routines should focus on one nutrient while on their trip: protein. "You can go to Wendy's or a sit-down restaurant," Victoria says, "just somehow incorporate protein." Betts alerts students to be weary of consuming energy drinks while traveling." "It can cause intestinal discomfort," she says, "and you sure don't want that on the road." Victoria recommends using the resistance bands while on your trip to keep up with your exercises. "It's a great upper- and lower-body workout in 30 minutes or less," she says, "and you never have to leave your hotel room." - Leave problems at home. Sleep expert Jay Winner says that some people still miss out on the benefits of quality leisure time and suggests that you should attempt to keep nagging thoughts on the backburner for the duration of your trip. source: Nancy Betts, Jay Winner and Almet Victoria of resistance bands and using them to do exercises similar to those found in a circuit-training routine. The bands are great for use outside of the gym because of their mobility and resistance strength. Victoria adds that a diet rich in protein benefits muscle growth and makes workouts worthwhile. THREE DAYS BEFORE Exams and essays can cause tremendous stress on students and they typically fall on the few days before Fall Break. In addition to all-nighters, some students have jobs, internships or families to deal with. Jay Winner, M.D., author of Stress Management Made Simple and founder of www.stressremedy.com, says people need to learn how to relax. He says to take five to 10 minutes before an exam and use that time to clear the mind of frustrations and doubts. Once you've honed the craft of relaxation, Winner says to try mindfulness, or the ability to overlook negative thoughts and focus on a physical action, such as breathing from the diaphragm. Winner'ssayssituationsthattypically make people agitated, such as traffic and waiting in line, are perfect places to be introspective. "Many of us are busy and don't have time to let our guard down," he says, "and those are the times to take a breather." NIGHT BEFORE By the time Wednesday evening rolls around, students pretty much have two options: get wasted or pass out from fatigue. The endless hours studying for exams or researching for essays add up to a whole lot of sleep deprivation. Paul T. Gross, M.D., chair of the Department of Neurology at the Lahey Clinic near Boston, says a lifestyle that includes staying up too late, excessive alcohol consumption and extreme stress is conducive to sleep deprivation. Sounds familiar, huh? Gross says that sleep deprivation has problematic effects on everyday functions, such as a poor attention span, decreased coordination and an impaired immune system, which can result in an infection. Gross suggests seven to nine hours of sleep per night, he adds that some people can go without. "Some people learn to function with less," he says, "but they are not functioning at their best."

Movie showtimes vary depending on running time but a matinee will start around 4 p.m. Check Liberty Hall's website, www.libertyhall.net, for times. Movies are chosen by the cinema manager and a booking agent each Tuesday and start showing that Friday. At least two movies will be shown each week, sometimes even three. almost a year. She says that painting the pieces can be challenging, especially for those people without painting talent, but almost anything comes out looking great once the pottery is fired and glazed. If you don't feel like watching a movie, stop by Sunfire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire St., to paint pottery. Sam Snyder, Topeka junior, has worked at Sunfire Ceramics for Doug Redding, video store manager, says Liberty Hall traditionally was called an art house theater and can still be considered that. Movies shown will eventually go to DVD and be added to the Liberty Hall video store. Matinee tickets sell for $5.50 and evening tickets are$ 7.50. Student ticket prices are $5.50 but only on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays are two-for-one. Another great thing about Liberty Hall: you can drink a beer while watching a movie. Renaissance Festival Ends on October 14 Times: 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunfire Ceramics opened nine years ago and just opened its second location in Kansas City, Mo. Owner Cheryl Roth molds and paints her own ceramics, which are on sale at Sunfire Ceramics. You'll pay $4 for the paint plus the cost of the ceramic, which varies from$ 4 to $40. The ceramics range from bowls, plates and coffee mugs to dog bowls and ring boxes. Everything is food, microwave and dishwasher safe. Once you paint your ceramic it takes three to five days to fire. Clay-making classes are held Wednesday through Friday for groups of six or more. The cost is $15 for the ceramic and the paint. Make a piece for yourself or give it to someone. Either way it's a creative and relaxing way to spend the afternoon. On Friday night head to The Sandbar, 17 E.8th St., and enjoy the wind, lightening and rain during the hurricane. Starting at 10 p.m. the weathermen will come on the TV and explain that a hurricane is predicted for the Lawrence area. Hold onto your hats as the hurricane takes over the bar. Forecasts lost of bubbles and blowing fans. If you are an early bird arrive at 7 p.m. for the early hurricane show or the matinee show at 4 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Try a Bahama Mama while eating a bag of popcorn provided by The Sandbar. Gawk at the fish in the 500 gallon tank or just enjoy the music on a jukebox featuring an eclectic selection of Jimmy Buffett. Let The Sandbar take you to the tropical island of your choice. During the hurricane three men or women have the chance to dress in mermaid costumes and dance on the bar. Watch the mermaids dance or volunteer to be a mermaid youself. However, if you are wanting to be a mermaid arrive around 9 p.m. to call dibs. saturday Luckily for those students staying in Lawrence over the fall break weekend there is a football game against Baylor University. Here are a few options for some pre-game fun. Whether you have a ticket to the game or not, being around the stadium is a must. If you don't have a ticket head to the hill; there's a perfect view of the stadium and a fun gathering of students and families. Plus, you can drink during the game without using your entire paycheck for a beer at the stadium. For the tailgate, pick the outdoor drinking game of your choice, such as washers, beruit or flip cup. If you need a new spin on a standard game try beer pong with paddles. On a side note, be careful about staying in the yard while holding a beverage. An open container ticket will only dampen the day. If a tailgate isn't for you, then stop by Louise's West, 1307 W.7th St., for pre-game festivities. The tone of the bar screams football. Specials for the day are $2.50 aluminum bottles and Budweiser products,$ 2 Miller Light cans and $2 single wells. If you want to stay around the stadium area move to The Crossing and say hello to the game day goat who makes his appearance in KU gear. The great thing about The Crossing is the location because it's within walking distance of the stadium and tailgates. If you get hungry turn the corner towards the back of The Crossing and grab a meal from Big 12 Burrito, 620 W. 12th St. With an array of tortillas—regular flour, spinach herb, jalapeno and tomato bisil—and meat and veggie options, you are sure to find something to fill your stomach. Don't forget to add queso; it pulls the burrito together. If a burrito doesn't sound appetizing create your own nachos. After the game go to The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St. to continue the football festivities.Sing along to Margaritaville while enjoying Saturday's drink specials: $2 Rolling Rocks,$ 3.75 double wells and Long Island iced tea and $1.25 house shots. Don't forget to stop by and say hello to Pizza Pete, and have a great Fall Break weekend. --- people JAYPLAY = 10.04.2007 GRAPHICS BY BECKA CREMER Theresa Rohlfs thrives on spontaneity. In fact, she all but refuses to decide any vacation plans until the night before she leaves. Last year, she and a friend were headed to Dallas for a "just because" Texas road trip. They decided to take a break in Oklahoma City for the night and continue the journey the next morning. With a tent in their trunk, they searched the yellow pages for a nearby park, and set up camp there. Despite a run-in with a more than slightly creepy camping neighbor, Rohlfs, Topeka senior, says last-minute flexible travel is the only way she'd have it. She and her friends never bring maps, and never have a concrete plan. "If you don't have a destination, you can't get lost," Rohfs says. As for this fall break, she says she won't decide until the Wednesday night before it begins. A car trip to Chicago might be in order, but she doesn't want to pencil anything in too early. "It's more fun that way, being spontaneous. It's just what I always do." For those of us who don't have enough gumption to set out without a map and without a destination, last-minute fall break ideas don't have to be so lax and unplanned. If your Fall Break is still an empty slate, but you're yearning to escape the prairie land, it's not too late. Here are some suggestions for structured yet spur-of-the-moment vacations. So go on, use the next seven days to do your research and figure out where Fall Break 2007 can take you with a little careful planning. Or live it up à la Rohlfs. Just be careful in the campground. Bon voyage! ELEVENTH-HOUR VACATIONS by Ashley Thompson Yes, you CAN have a great trip last-minute. Here's how. --- 1. CELEBRATE WITH THE CANUCKS Head north for a French-Canadian experience in Montreal through www.lastminute.com. Booking a mere three days in advance means savings of up to 70 percent off normal prices for a similar vacation package. This means fares that will be friendly to your penny-pinch budget. Although prices fluctuate, a three-day weekend getaway to Montreal can cost you as little as $450 for a round-trip flight from Kansas City and hotel Pencil accommodations. You obviously need a nice chunk of extra change to foot that sort of bill at the last minute, but it's hard not to appreciate the bargain. As a comparison, a typical round-trip flight to Montreal can cost around $500 alone, and that's without the mid-class hotel thrown in there. Remember, though, that a passport is required to cross into Canada as of Jan. 23, 2007, according to the U.S. Department of State homepage. 2. CAJUN SENSATION If you have yet to process your passport, www. lastminute.com is chck full of weekend deals within the United States, as well. Packages to New Orleans are even more of a bargain, with prices for a three-night vacation including airfare and hotel ranging from $275 to$ 325. If purchased within a week's notice, a plane ticket alone to the Big Easy costs around $200 on Travelocity.com. f o- ne Key Web sites for last-minute travel www.lastminute.com www.megabus.com www.hostels.com www.hostelworld.com www.llthourvacations.com www.travelocity.lmdeals.com 3. BOOK IT TO CHI-TOWN 3. BOOK IT TO CHI-TOWN Travel to Chicago via the Megabus, a bus service with routes between Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago with prices that are a student's dream. The 10-hour ride costs between $1 and$ 40 one-way, depending on how far in advance you book the ticket. With a one-week notice, bet on $25, but a$ 50 round-trip ticket to Chicago almost certainly beats paying for gas or a plane ticket. Megabus entered the Kansas City market in March 2007, and distinguishes itself from other bus services because of its highly discounted prices, its express trips (meaning no more than one or two quick stops along the way), and its guaranteed seating, says Dale Moser, president and CEO of Coach USA, Megabus's parent company. From Kansas City to Chicago, the bus stops once in St. Louis, and stops only once for a 10-minute break between St. Louis and Chicago. To nab the best deal possible—the elusive $1 seat—Moser recommends booking as much as six weeks in advance. But, he says, last-minute Megabus prices can still cost less than driving, flying, or taking another bus service. "We're becoming an economical alternative to these other options," Moser says. Joe Thurston, Prairie Village senior, is planning his second trip with Megabus for fall break, this time to St. Louis to visit family and friends. He paid $10 round-trip for his ticket. This summer, he went to Chicago via the Megabus and paid$ 20 round-trip."It's comfortable travel. In the back few rows, there's more leg room," Thurston says. If you're fortunate enough to have a friend or relative to stay with like Thurston and Rohfs plan to do, that takes care of accommodation. If not, though, there are economical last-minute options to save you. Hostels in Chicago, such as the Chicago International Hostel, run at about $25 per night per bed. Using Web sites like www.hostelworld.com or www.hostels.com allows you to read reviews and ratings of the hostels before making a final decision. Immerse yourself in Western Kansas nature en route to mountainous and metropolitan Denver. Although gas prices are swelling right now, a round-trip road trip to Denver would cost you approximately $100, assuming the 568-mile trek is driven in a car that can get 30 miles to the gallon, and if gas by the gallon hovers around$ 2.70. 4. DRIVE YOURSELF TO DENVER While staying in Denver, check out the mountain activities nearby for cheap—if not free—entertainment and nature enjoyment. For lodging, www.hostelworld.com and www.hostels.com have a wide variety of listings in locations and qualities, and rooms tend to be nearly always available in cities as large as Denver. Thurston says he's visited Denver last minute and found a suitable hostel on the fly. Not only does it make sense economically, he says, it's also a great travel atmosphere. --- --- 07 10.04.2007 JAYPLAY scene com .com a-t- n m m com s.com 1 foodreview CHOCOLATE ICED DOUGHNUTS WITH SPRINKLES Joe's Bakery 616 W. 9' St. $0.75 A little bit of heaven melts into your mouth when you take a bite of the chocolate iced donut.

Especially when an album has 14 songs, you expect a few duds that are instantly forgettable. But none of this is true on Tegan and Sara's latest effort, The Con. With their previous album, So Jealous, it seemed Tegan and Sara had made perhaps the best album of their career. It had 14 tracks full of crunchy guitar riffs, biting vocals, and catchy hooks, but The Con finds Tegan and Sara topping that and making something even more exciting. TEGAN AND SARA THE CON Tegan and Sara's music is full of real conflict. This is an element missing from most pop songs where conflicts generally include things like what mall to visit or what character from *Laguna Beach* to imitate. Instead, they cover a variety of topics from gay marriage to dealing with a grandparent's death. Highlights include the catchy "Back In Your Head," the push and pull of "Soil, Soil," the edgy and spitting, "Like O, Like H," and the closing track, "Call It Off," which showcases Tegan and Sara's continuous theme of melancholy with lines like, "Maybe I would have been something you be good at / Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at." With The Con, Tegan and Sara show it is possible to make not only a good pop album, but more than one. Tegan and Sara are performing at the Granada on Nov.5. ★★★★★ Chris Brower HANSON THE WALK TOUR LIVE Oct 5th "THE FINEST STRAIGHT-UP ROCK BAND IN AMERICA" – The Village Voice "The WALK FEELS LIKE A NATURAL PROGRESSION...

Romeo and Juliet would be happy if they could have visited The Kansas City Renaissance Festival next week.it'impossible for them to visit this place, but for the upcoming Fall Break, you could experience what it's like to be a lover in the 16th century "We provide a chance for students to step out of the modern world and 500 years into the past and escape for a bit. No homework, no politics, no personal drama. With that comes stage shows of all sorts," says Jake Schmidt, entertainment associate of the festival. The 31st Kansas City Renaissance Festival will have a final weekend Oct.13 and 14.The theme for the final weekend is "Flutterbyes and Lovebirds." Numerous events and entertainment during the finale weekend for couples include speed dating, a romance bandit, and wine and cheese tasting. "It is certainly a great weekend for couples to come with romance abounding," says Schmidt. "Even if you don't have a special someone yet, you never know who you might find with our romancing the stone game." The festival first opened its gates in 1977 and has established itself as one of the most famous fall events in the Midwest. This year's festival has been ongoing since the beginning of September. The festival usually attracts about 20,000 people play Ashley Robson, Topeka sophomore, was one of those visitors this year. She said what she liked most were the passionate performers. The performers try their best toivere the Renaissance atmosphere. 200,000 people per year. Wearing medieval clothes and accessories from 16th century is the smallest thing they do. Most performers and artisans go above and beyond to revive the 16th century.

"You just gotta love them." Artisans and performers from all over the country gather in Kansas City for auditions to be a part of each year's festival. 165 artisans and more than 500 performers were a part of the festival this year. People of all ages visit the festival for different reasons. Robson visited the festival with her parents when she was a kid, and again this year with friends. She said being at the festival again made her feel like she was in a different world. Just like Robson, many college students are visiting the festival for out-of-the-ordinary experiences. Approximately 20 percent of the visitors are college students, says Carrie Shoptaw, general manager of the festival. The finale weekend is not only charming for lovers, but also for friends, parents, families and even pets, Shoptaw says. It's not only the medieval mood and energetic performers visitors love about the festival; food is a huge part of the festival's success. The "world-famous turkey legs" are one of the main reasons people come back to the festival. This year, about 90,000 pounds of the barbecued turkey legs will be brought to the festival. Robson says the turkey leg was one of the best barbecued foods she had ever tasted. Robert Sack, Wal-Mart associate, who visited the festival several years ago, says the turkey legs are what he misses most about the festival. The Kansas City Renaissance Festival has consistently won the coveted "Top 100 Events in North America" award over the last several years along with several distinguished local honors according to the official website, www.kcrnestf.com. DOLLY POPPIN' "If you spent too much time studying and need a break, harbor a deep love for Tolkein, played a few too many hours of God of War, or really just need a chance to laugh at some people in ridiculous costumes, you're going to have a good time joining us for some play and pastime." Schmidt says. PHOTO BY JON GOERING Three women perform a comedy skit Sunday afternoon. Oct. 13 and 14 will be the final weekend of this year's festival.

KANSAN.COM 1. reviews JAYPLAY = 10.04.2007 THE KINGDOM From the opening graphics of Peter Berg's The Kingdom you suspect the film is going to be a big-budget version of Loose Change. The opening logos are a timeline of U.S.-Saudi relations up to 9/11, where the Twin Towers sprout from a different graphic. You get the sense that political muckraking is going to follow; however this is not the case. [Photo] MOSQUITO, EGYPT - A group of gunmen armed with rifles and machine guns stormed a school in Mosquito, eastern Egypt, on March 14, 2005. The attack was carried out by unknown members of the Islamist group El Shabaab. Like 2005's Syrianna, it's about oil. Yet where oil was at the center of Syrianna, in The Kingdom oil commodity is presented implicitly, only as background, something to keep in mind while you watch the film. A compound in Saudi Arabia has been attacked, killing more than 100 Americans including special agent Francis Manner (Kyle Chandler). A team, led by special agent Ronald Fury (Jamie Foxx), wants to investigate the scene, but has problems getting clearance from American agencies as well as from the Saudi government. After finally obtaining clearance, the team finds investigating the crime even more difficult, blocked by the bureaucracy of Saudi military forces and by cultural divides. Both sides want the criminals brought to justice (at least on paper) but the terrorist hold in the region complicates the investigation. Peter Berg and writer Mathew Carnah do a good job at distancing the film from politics while remaining aware of its political implications. For the most part, The Kingdom is a straight forward action thriller with a level of intelligence usually missing from these kinds of films. It is not conflated with the generalized ideologies that another Hollywood studio might package it with. Instead, the film is played for its story, which is incredibly intense and emotionally gripping. ★★★★ Chance Dibben ACROSS THE UNIVERSE When the theater lights came on at the end of Across the universe, I sat stunned by what I had just seen. The music was great, the visuals were incredible, and the numerous pop-culture references, especially, and not surprisingly, to the Beatles, left me begging for more. The problem really came when BIRD HEE HEE HEE 诉说啊 there wasn't actually any more to it. The characters, while all interesting in their own rights, were simple and had no more depth than could be shown in 20 seconds of screen time. The plot ambles along throughout the movie, making numerous stops to allow for as many songs as possible to be thrown into the mix, and reaches an inevitable conclusion that left me wondering how exactly someone came up with the idea for the movie. I'm picturing a room full of inebriated college drop-outs, listening to the Beatles and strumming along on their air-guitars. Someone says, "Hey, let's make a two-hour music video with as many Beatles songs as we can fit!" When someone in the room asks what it will be about, a third person replies, "Plot?" That being said, Beatles fans will undoubtedly love it, and if you can enjoy the drug scenes for how beautiful they look, if completely ridiculous, you'll then at least find it entertaining. ★★★★ Bryan Marvin HATS ★ WIGS ★ MASKS ★ MAKEUP ★ COSTUMES ★ HATS We've moved!

HOW STUDYING ABROAD HELPED QUELL MY FEAR OF THE FUTURE CONTRIBUTED PHOTO It probably wasn't a Communist bar, but that's what we called it. The drunken man in the place worked for the French foreign minister, or so he said. I was sitting by the bar but could hear him all the way across the room: He was standing next to a huge, dimly lit poster of Ché Guevara. I was sitting and talking to Yemen (I don't know how he spells his name). He was of Algerian descent, born in Bordaux, but now lives in Paris. We talked about everything, and then we landed on foreign policy. He seemed not to have any bias about me being an American. He let me explain myself, and we discovered that our beliefs overlapped in many places. I didn't expect people there to take so kindly to an average American. He then asked me if I wanted some hash. I was flattered to be the first of our group, to my knowledge, to be offered illegal drugs, but I declined. He then asked if I wanted a cigarette. Our first miscommunication followed as I'd like a cigarette, but he went on to break me off some hash. I respectfully declined again. That experience was one of many that shed light on how little I truly knew about the world. I don't think any Communist bars are hidden here in Lawrence, so the idea was new to me—I've lived here my whole life. I'd been around the country as well as outside of it, but Lawrence was all that I'd really known. Last winter break I started thinking of ways to escape. That same time I realized that the following year I would be a junior and halfway to being an adult. I came to college for two reasons: to get an education to become successful in this world, and more importantly, to put off making any serious decision about my life with real repercussions for at least four years. I found the European Studies summer study abroad trip fit with my major. The program would take me to Berlin, Paris, Strasbourg, France and Brussels, Belgium. The month-long program gave me a new way of looking at the world and my place in it. While discovering the complexities of a different culture, I had a few experiences that went a long way to quelling my fears of the future by showing me my own ignorance about the world at large. The first couple experiences that stood out to me helped frame the hatred I had learned about in history books. We walked though side streets in Paris and Berlin, displaying some of the most striking graffiti I'd ever seen. In Paris we were specifically headed to a hidden Jewish library that. The only thing outside the place that garnered any attention was the swastika carved on its door. I hadn't felt uneasy at any point during the trip until then. I knew that somewhere there were people who hated that building and everything inside it. Before that, we left a rabbinic seminary FREE By Patrick Griffith in Berlin and started walking towards a Jewish café that was all but around the corner. One point of interest on our walk to the cafe was a Neo-Nazi bar that was actually located in between the seminary and the cafe. These two experiences helped outline some of the tragic intricacies of a different culture. Every history-book notion I had before leaving for Europe was crushed, and that showed me how little I really knew. I loved the differences I was discovering,but they often led to simple,honest mistakes.Nothing exemplified how misinformed I really was better than one great night in Paris. We started the night at a wonderful French restaurant full of old rich men and their trophy wives. That incredible meal was followed by an expedition to find a club to visit. We ended up on the Champs Elysees, outside of a club called Le Queen. We were drunk and the name didn't register as noteworthy, at least to me. I remember it was ladies night and that I drank a rather expensive vodka tonic out of what I would call a grown-man's sippy-cup. It was a great night and a fun place, but we eventually left. We walked to a taxi stand with the Arc de Triomphe a couple hundred yards in front of us. I remember paying for the cab because everyone with me was passed out. And that was the night. The next day someone asked to borrow a guidebook of Paris to see what it said about Le Queen. The description in the book was something to the effect of,"the most happening gay club in Paris." DINNER WITH LOVE CONTRIBUTED PHOTO I decided to study abroad after realizing that I'm terrified of the future, responsibility, and Patrick Griffith, far right, and his friends toast at a restaurant in Paris. growing up. The trip taught me that I don't know as much as I thought. Last May saw me leave petrified of the future because I was convinced there was not a place for me. I went there to learn, but the most important things I learned, I wasn't graded on. I returned confident my place is out there because everything I thought I knew was challenged and crushed on the trip; nothing more so than my feelings about the future.

The Hispanic American Leadership Organization sponsored the event for Hispanic Heritage Month. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Groups promote Hispanic Heritage Month BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com Crystal Viurquez stood in a Cordley Elementary classroom surrounded by a circle of chairs and about 20 boisterous children. Viurquez was demonstrating basic salsa steps for a round of dancing musical chairs. Virquez, Garden City senior, along with several members of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, worked with the Boys and Girls Club at Cordley Elementary School to have the first Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration at the school on Thursday. HALO volunteers set up four classroom stations for the students: salsa and musical chairs, Spanish 101, egg decorating and Loteria, or Mexican bingo. The celebration ended with a piñata. "It's fun exposing this to kids not very familiar with Latin culture and music and teaching them how to dance," Viurquez said. Chris Muñoz, Topeka junior, works with both the Boys and Girls Club and HALO. He said that he noticed the Boys and Girls Club always had a good time at Black History Month celebrations. Muñoz worked to coordinate between HALO and the Boys and Girls Club to create the celebration. Muñoz said it was a good opportunity for the kids to experience another culture and that one of HALO's goals was to increase exposure to their culture. Delores Pitchlyn, Kansas City, Kan., junior, works for the Boys and Girls Club. She said the students were excited about the celebration. "I think it's a really good opportunity for the kids to learn about an entirely different culture and what kids their age do in the Hispanic culture," Pitchlyn said. Diego Lopez, Cordley fourth grader, said he enjoyed the celebration. Lopez, whose parents are both from Mexico, said he was looking forward to helping his classmates learn Spanish. When his group went to the Spanish 101 station, Lopez went to the front of the classroom and helped Jesus Castillo, Liberal senior, and Ruby Montoya, Garden City junior, teach the students some basic Spanish words like please and thank you. — Edited by Meghan Murphy 》 ACADEMICS Board of Regents ponders academic year abridgment Student body president Hannah Love met last week with the Board of Regents in Topeka to discuss decreasing the number of required class days for Kansas institutions.

Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, said that the KU administration would follow the guidelines mandated by the Board of Regents. Love said that the current calendar was more conducive to a K-12 system than a college system and the new would give students a longer summer break, allowing for better internship opportunities.

Six sororities have offered makeovers for seven men who aim to raise scholarship money for women in computer science, and improve the image of computer geeks, organizer Ben Ford said. "The newly fashioned nerds will then be auctioned off to the general public for homework help, computer help or a dinner date," the school said. Women make up less than 5 percent of computer science students at WSU, reflecting national trends. The goal of the auction is to show that "computer science is fun and interesting and not just for nerdy boys,"the school said. Reaction to the event has not been all positive.

Initiative underway to shorten academic calendar BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com Student Body President Hannah Love is pushing for fewer class days each semester. Love met last week with the Board of Regents in Topeka about the possibility of lowering the number of instructional days required of Kansas institutions. The Board of Regents currently requires an academic year, fall and spring semester, to consist of 150 instructional days. These days do not include final week. Love said that the idea originated from a Student Senate Executive Committee meeting. "I think that the college system is on a K-12 system," Love said. "That's something that needs to be changed." Love also said that the current organization of the academic year required students to have short summer and long winter breaks. This can sometimes hinder students applying for summer internships. Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, said that he met with Love during the summer to discuss the academic calendar. He also said that the KU administration would follow whatever guidelines the Board of Regents set. "The problem that I've got with the current calendar is that if you count the number of minutes in a three-hour lecture it's 2,200 minutes for a Monday-Wednesday-Friday class. If you count the same, it's 2,325 for a Tuesday-Thursday class," Steeples said. "The thing I'm trying to do is see if we can make that more balanced." Steeples said that he thought the Board of Regents would listen to Love's concerns. He said the current policy was put in place several years ago. The Board of Regents could not be reached for comment. "Instructional days is part of a larger discussion that's come about, that the calendar needs to be reviewed," Love said. Last spring Love ran for office on the platform of revising the academic calendar. When Love, along with Student Body Vice President Ray Wittlinger, ran for office with the United Students coalition last year, their platform promised to institute a "dead week," a week before finals in which instructors cannot give tests or assignments. Love said that she would continue to meet with the Board of Regents and the Calendar Committee to discuss the issue.

The show will be performed at 7:30 tonight and tomorrow night at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday in Murphy Hall. Actors master Irish dialect for historical production BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com The department of theater and film sheds light on a moment in history this weekend with the opening of "Translations." The production, set in 1833 Ireland, deals with characters adjusting to newly implemented British rule. The show opens at 7:30 tonight in the Crafton-Preyer Theater in Murphy Hall. Courtney Schweitzer, a KU alumna, plays Bridgett in the production. Schweitzer said "Translations" dealt with an important event in history. "It has been an incredibly enlightening and rewarding experience for me," Schweitzer said. "Few people realize the suffering that the Irish endured during this period in history." Doug Weaver, a KU theater alumnus and the director of "Translations," said the show was more than a history lesson for the audience and should connect with students today. "It's about love and politics — all the characters have a love for something or someone. This show deals with the inability to achieve love or to understand it while also dealing with the British," Weaver said. Weaver said rehearsals went better than he expected thanks to a great cast and crew. He withdrew every show he fears what looks good on paper might not transcribe once the show becomes a production. He said the actors in this show only enhanced his ideas. Schweitzer said the cast worked hard to perfect every aspect of the show, but the dialect was a challenge. "The most difficult aspect of working on this piece has been perfecting the Northern Irish dialect", Schweitzer said, "Aside from technical accuracy and audibility, we have to engage in the accent as opposed to simply using it as a costume" Kip Niven, a KU theater alumnus, has returned to portray Hugh in the show. Niven has appeared on Broadway, in film and in television. Niven said the language and dialect of the show was an important part of its success. "Everyone in a place speaks in a unique dialect," Niven said. "It's a very successful play. It was brought to Broadway and is a very compelling story." Niven categorized the show as a romantic drama. "Translations" opens at 7:30 tonight in Crafton-Preyer Theater. The show will be performed throughout the weekend, 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Additional shows will take place Oct. 18-20. Tickets cost $10 for students, $15 for senior citizens and $16 for the general public. New dinosaur documentary features a prehistoric Kansas BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com Long before the Jayhawk, another bird of prey braved bloodthirsty foes where Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium now stand. The Hesperornis, a prehistoric swimming bird, and other dinosaurs that once roamed Kansas are the subject of a new 3-D documentary made by National Geographic. The filmmakers consulted experts from KU's own Natural History Museum to make "Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure" as accurate as possible. Much of the film was shot in western Kansas, with digital animation added afterwards. The film follows a family of Dolichorhynchops, or "Dollies," as they encounter marine animals such as Platecarpus, which swallowed their prey whole like snakes; the long-necked plesiosaur, Styxosaurus; and the enormous Tylosaurus. The story takes place in the Late Cretaceous period, when Kansas was at the bottom of a 250 foot-deep ocean. The film also shows the Hesperornis, a flightless bird that used its feet to propel itself underwater. Larry Martin, professor and curator of vertebrate paleontology at the KU Natural History Museum, has spent more than 40 years studying the prehistoric bird. He said the University had the world's largest collection of Hesperornis fossil remains. Martin studied early versions of the animated sequences of Hesperornis and lent his expertise to the film's producers. "I was advising them on how the movements of the bird should look," Martin said. "They kept changing them until I liked them, so I'm happy," he said with a laugh. The filmmakers used elaborate computer animation to bring some of the specimens at the museum to life. They paid particular attention to a model Martin designed with the help of filmmaker George Lucas' production company, Industrial Light and Magic. Martin said he had to improvise using some of Lucas' material to create the model. "The Hesperornis had these funny, small feathers," he said. "We ended up using wookie fur for those." Mike Everhart, adjunct curator of paleontology at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History at Fort Hays State University, helped with The model now resides at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History in Albuquerque, N.M. the film from conception through production. He said it addressed a period of time most Kansans were unfamiliar with. "It's hard to imagine high and dry here in Kansas that this part of the world has been underwater longer than it's above water." Everhart said. According to Everhart, 85 percent of the earth was covered in water during the Late Cretaceous period, 140 to 65 million years ago. Everhart said he was thrilled with the result of the special effects and the fact that the film will be shown in IMAX theaters. "There was very little land for most dinosaurs to run around on," he said. "The rest belonged to the sea monsters." "It is the most accurate portrayal of these creatures ever done," he said. "That they'll be seen in 3-D is an extra bit of excitement." "Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure" premieres today at IMAX, REAL-D and other specialty theaters nationwide. The film is narrated by actor Liev Schreiber and Richard Evans. David Rhodes and Peter Gabriel composed an original score.

Students share to clean up parking lots Potential car-sharing program frees parking, cut down on individual costs With increasingly squeezed parking becoming more of a hassle for students and faculty, companies are developing innovative car-sharing programs at other college campuses across the country. The success of these programs indicates a similar attempt would work here at KU. Lawrence's layout makes a car a near-necessity for incoming students. Access from campus to all major retail areas is incredibly difficult without a car. But what do students do with those cars between the occasional trips down Iowa Street? They park them in KU's oversold residence parking lots or on Lawrence's crowded public streets. Many universities, particularly in urban settings, are partnering with private businesses to provide car-sharing, a type of short-term car rental program. The largest car sharing companies charge an annual membership fee for participating students, and then charge an hourly rate for car usage. Members have cards which are scanned to unlock the cars' doors and track use. This service allows students to share cars instead of each having his own. In addition to easing parking crunches, it can also encourage alternative transportation by putting an overt hourly price on car usage, and it can increase carpooling by making car usage less impulsive while still accessible. KU needs a program like this. Currently the University's parking department estimates it oversells commuter parking passes by 59%. While not every commuter is on campus at the same time, the dearth of evening and weekend classes ensures most are here during a limited window. More than half of commuting students, however, are so discouraged by the prospects of on-campus parking that they forego a parking pass entirely and jockey for limited street parking around campus. This negatively impacts surrounding residents and creates ill-will toward the University. More critically, the University oversells the residence hall parking passes by 36%, meaning every night more than 1,000 students who paid for parking cannot park in a residence hall lot. Since 77% of residence hall students purchase parking passes, a car-sharing program like this could go a long way toward reducing the parking demands on campus. In partnering with these private companies, universities take on a financial obligation to ensure the businesses reach revenue goals. However, as Rutgers transportation director Jack Molenaar recently pointed out in a USA Today article, their financial obligation is far below the cost of adding just one parking spot. If the University wishes to improve student welfare, reduce carbon emissions and improve town-gown relations by boosting the quality of life for everyone in Lawrence, a car-sharing program would go a long way towards those goals. SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE Prison libraries remove books in name of security In an attempt to curb 'extremist radicalism', various religious texts are thrown out to assure continuing prison safety MARK PETTERSON Recently, the New York Times reported that the Federal Bureau of Prisons (a division of the Department of Justice), in June 2007, instituted a policy called the Standardized Chapel Library Project which restricted religious books available in prison libraries to a ridiculously small list of 150 approved titles for each of the Bureau's 20 recognized religions. What this amounted to was an illegal and immoral purge of sometimes thousands of accumulated religious books in federal prison libraries across the country (including the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan.). Chaplains of all creeds reported that their libraries were being decimated by this draconian policy. The official reason was curbing extremist religion (read: Islam) that could incite violence and threaten prison or national security. But chaplains already had the power to censor radical religious books, and they do. The Bureau's decision to reduce the number of available books to such a paltry number was irresponsible and indefensible. Even more infuriating, the Bureau would not release the lists to the public (the Times had an anonymous source) nor identify these so-called "experts" whom they relied on to synthesize 20 religions with a near-infinite number of books to a meager 150 sources. The lists themselves are laughable. I spoke to Professor Timothy Larsen of Wheaton College, who studied the Protestant book list and was interviewed for the Times article, and he told me that he was equally confused about the selections on the list. "Despite the purpose ostensibly being to prevent violent tendencies, the list freezes out all the Christian voices who have been most against violence: the pacifists John Howard Yoder, Stanley Hauerwas (named by Time magazine as America's greatest theologian), Ron Sider, and Jim Wallis," he said. Even the popular "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren and "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner also banned, according to a lawsuit filed in New York by two inmates challenging the ban. There are also Major theologians like Reinhold Niebuhr and Karl Barth were shunned. Nearly all pacifist and left-wing Christian authors were left off the list. Left-wingers and pacifists banned in the name of national security? Does this sound familiar? I think Mussolini would approve. several titles on the list by an author named Henri Nouwen "a great author," says Prof. Larsen, "but decidedly Roman Catholic - so, do they not know he is Roman Catholic or is he the only Roman Catholic author Protestants should read?" Based on the evidence, Prof. Larsen guessed that an Evangelical Calvinist had probably written the Protestant list. While there is nothing wrong with being an Evangelical Calvinist, there is something very wrong with the fact that it represents only a small portion of the Protestant population, yet it was setting the standards for an entire religion. The 19 other lists had some of the same exclusive tendencies (80 of the 120 Judaism titles are from the same Orthodox publishing house), according to the Times article. You can see the lists for yourself at www.nytimes.com. But there is good news at the end of this one. Last week the Times reported that, due to an overwhelming public protest from religious groups, civil activists, and members of Congress, the Bureau of Prisons has decided to rescind the policy for the present and put the banned books back on the shelves. Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, Muslims, Jews and Christians all took up the cause and inundated the Prison Bureau and Congress with thousands of letters and phone calls complaining about this gross abuse of power. And it worked. The media did its job of exposing a major government screw-up and the citizenry responded by putting pressure on politicians to change the situation. This may seem like a small victory, and that there are other, bigger issues which merit our concern. That may be true (see Iraq and Darfur), but let us look to this event as a positive example of the way our system should work, and let us find hope in this seemingly insignificant thing that there are sound ways to right wrongs, and to put things in order that are vastly confused.

SEE PAGE 2B OR SUBMIT YOUR PICKS AT KICKTHEKANSAN@KANSAN.COM WWW.KANSAN.COM 》 COLUMN SWAP FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2007 PAGE1B TAKE A HIKE K-State shorted in top polling BY JONATHAN GARTEN KANSAS STATE COLLEGIAN Last week, Kansas State did not receive one vote in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. This week, the Wildcats carry a No.24 ranking, and some reporters had Kansas State as high as No. 14. So what gives? The pro-Wildcat swing was helped along by the overwhelming coverage that dominated TV and the Internet. Everywhere you looked, it was hard not to notice all the publicity Kansas State was receiving. When you flipped on ESPN Saturday night, all the talking heads were arguing about how Kansas State was able to knock off a top-10 opponent. Later on, SportsCenter's "Top Plays" featured two clips from the Wildcats' 41-21 dismantling of then-No. 7 Texas. Even on the Internet, coach Ron Prince's "dance moves" were stealing the show. The day-long barrage of Kansas State taking down one of the nation's elite teams, coupled with the complete insanity of the day in general, had to have had an effect on America's sports reporters. It showed, when Kansas State suddenly appeared in several writers' polls Sunday. Subsequently, the Wildcats only received a few votes in the USA Today Coaches Poll. The reason could have something to do with the fact that the coaches don't have as much time to watch Lou Holtz breakdown highlights or log onto YouTube. They're too entrenched into their own team to notice up-and-comers like Kansas State. Despite the fact that few people would debate writers more than coaches, they're probably actually more qualified to fill out a Top-25 Poll. While coaches are dissecting game film for the next week's opponent, sports reporters are finishing up their game wraps and catching up on what happened during all the other games that day. It doesn't even make sense for coaches to have a vote. Many of them probably don't really like doing it anyway. They have a team of 85 players to take care of first. Tom Keegan, sports columnist for the Lawrence Journal-World and vote holder in the AP's Top 25 poll, takes his time to fill out his poll every Saturday night or Sunday morning. He said he visits ESPN.com to see how each team in his Top 25 fared that week. Even though the writers have a much better feel for what happened that weekend, it's still not a perfect system. Keegan said there were a few peculiarities in this week's poll. "How Texas can be ranked ahead of K-State is beyond me," Keegan said in an e-mail interview. "A 20-point victory on the road and the home team is ranked ahead of the team that came to town and spanked it? Can't figure that one out. I voted K-State 19 and dropped Texas from my Top 25." However, the discrepancy was even greater in the other poll. The coaches have Texas ranked No. 16 while Kansas State is only receiving votes. One thing Kansas State should have learned from last week is that perceptions can change in an instant. The Wildcats' sudden rise could be reversed this weekend. They face an undefeated Kansas team that's trying to crack the polls and make a statement. Despite their 4-0 record, the Jayhawks have played a non-conference schedule that would make Bill Snyder blush. So knocking off a ranked Kansas State team would be very impressive. Kansas State Collegiate sports columnist can be contacted at sports@spub.ksu.edu. "I can pretty much guarantee this about the ballot I fill out after this weekend's games: The winner of the K-State-KU game will be in my Top 25, probably somewhere close to No.19, and the loser won't be." Keagan said. Challenged by road, crowd Kansas last defeated KSU on road in '89 Manhatta 84 Mil Boulder 586 M KANSAS BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Bill Snyder Family Stadium sits just 87 miles west of the University of Kansas and the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium. But that quick jaunt down Interstate-70 has not been kind to the Kansas Jayhawks in recent years. Kansas has not defeated Kansas State in Manhattan since 1989, a span of eight games in which the Jayhawks have been outscored 257-68. On top of that, coach Mark Mangino has accumulated a 4-21 road record during his tenure at Kansas and a 2-18 Big 12 Conference road record. Despite the numbers favoring No. 24 Kansas State, Kansas players said the team's recent road struggles would not come into play tomorrow. "It's a new year and all the past years are gone," tight tight end Derek Fine said. "But nothing's ever given to you, so we've got to go out and play just like we have the past four weeks when we won." Fine and his Jayhawk teammates will have to squint their eyes awfully hard and plug their ears extra tight to ignore the proKansas State crowd. The last tickets were snatched up several weeks ago, ensuring the power towel-waving sea of purple will number at least 50,000. During Mangino's time at Kansas, the Jayhawks have not been discriminatory. They have lost in front of raging throngs of fans — 84,520 in Oklahoma in 2004 — and in front of much smaller clusters — 24,817 at Northwestern earlier that season. On some occasions Kansas has simply been the less-talented team, but losses at Baylor and Toledo last season give rise to this question: Why can't Kansas win on the road? numbers aren't looking good for Kansas "The main thing is, it is always going to be a little bit more hostile environment," sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said. "With the noise and the fans getting behind their own team, it is a factor." its preparation in any major way this week, Mangino said. On Wednesday the team practiced on the quiet fields south of Allen Fieldhouse instead practicing in Memorial Stadium with artificial crowd noise. 0-8 since 1989 at Kansas State 4-21 on the road under Mangino 2-18 in Big 12 Conference road games under Mangino 23-137-2 against Top 25 opponents Kansas State is No.24 0-7 all-time against ranked Kansas State teams So what can the layhawks do about it? "You can't get too caught up in the noise or the fact that you're not playing at home or that people are booing you." Reesing said. "If you go out there focused and saying, 'I'm just going to play football, do my assignment every play and hope my teammates do the same thing,' you should be alright." 2-6 against Kansas State in televised games No matter how much Kansas prepares, the team will undoubtedly be greeted by a not-so-friendly bunch of fans in Manhattan. And that's something the Jayhawks are looking forward to. Reeing said Kansas' unimpressive track record on the road would have no effect on the 2007 layhawks, who have not yet played outside of Lawrence.

Jon Goerina/KANSAN Frisbee flying in face of ordinary BY EMILY MUSKIN emuskin@kansan.com What sport has about 350 teams nationwide, does not include a ball and allows players to wear Halloween costumes during games? That would be ultimate Frisbee. Kansas boasts one of the longest-running traditions of club ultimate Frisbee in the nation with its top-caliber team, the HorrorZontals. The club began in 1979, and today the team has about 50 participants. This sport definitely has some interesting perks including a tournament in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, the Harvest Moon tournament, which requires teams to wear opposing Halloween costumes, and an annual Fool's Fest tournament right here in Lawrence on April Fool's Day. When asked what sets the sport apart from others, senior Jack McFarland said, "When you go to a tournament, you are as much there to meet other kids and watch games as you are to play" Ultimate Frisbee provides a competitive atmosphere while maintaining a superb social scene. SEE ULTIMATE ON PAGE 8B FOOTBALL Hawks' record lacking in televised matchups BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com Kansas fans will have to get up a little earlier to watch the Jayhawks on Saturday — but this time they can do it from the comfort of their living rooms instead of travelling to Manhattan, Kan. A 4-0 start to the season made tomorrow's game against Kansas State (4-1) a marquee matchup, prompting Fox Sports Net, Sunflower channel 36, to pick it up. Coverage begins at 11 a.m. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said national television coverage meant two things to the football program: exposure and money. "There are schools that get on TV just because of the name recognition they have," Marchiony said. "That is what we have to overcome. We need to keep getting better so the networks can't avoid putting us on." This will be Kansas' first national-television appearance of 2007. Decisions aren't required from cable outlets until 12 days before game day, so the University currently does not know how many more appearances they will make. Next Saturday's home contest against Baylor will be aired on Fox College Sports. Football games are shown on ABC, an ESPN partner, and FOX Sports Network. Conference schools then divvy up the money using a partial revenue share, which means a majority of the money is evenly distributed but an extra portion is allocated to teams that appear on the air. Senior Associate Athletics Director Larry Keating said Big 12 schools receive about $4 million annually from television contracts within revenue sharing. He said football teams like Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska and basketball teams like Kansas received more than the average. He estimated the Jayhawks bring in about $1 million extra in revenue based on television appearances. The Jayhawks have steadily improved their exposure on national television during the Mark Mangino era. In 2002, Mangino's first in Lawrence, the team made only one appearance, the season opener at Iowa State, a 41-3 camera shv Mangino's four TV victories: » 2003 vs. Missouri, 35-14 » 2005 vs. Iowa State, 24-21 » 2005 vs. Houston in the Fort Worth Bowl, 42-13 » 2006 vs. Kansas State, 39-20 Kansas is 7-33 in its last 40 televised games. Mark Mangino is 4-13 in his KU career on TV. loss. But in 2005 and 2006, the jayhawks played on TV five times each season. Mangino is 4-13 in TV games under Mangino, but the victories have all been signature: a 35-14 upset against Missouri in 2003, last year's 39-20 win against Kansas State, a 2005 overtime 24-21 win against Iowa State, which propelled Kansas into a bowl game, and the Fort Worth Bowl a month later, where the Jayhawks beat Houston 42-13. Kansas is 7-33 in its last 40 nationally televised games, dating to the middle of 1996. While the Jayhawks had no nonconference games on television this year, Keating said he tried to schedule games that might be attractive to networks. Last year's contest against South Florida aired on Fox Sports Net, and the Jayhawks played a Friday evening game against Toledo on ESPN. Keating said he expected next year's game against South Florida to be televised. Keating said the added exposure helped recruiting. Last week, a Big 12 televised game helped in scouting. Kansas had a bye as Kansas State trounced Texas 41-21 on ABC. Senior tight end Derek Were watching. "Almost all of it," Fine said. "I was actually glad that they won. It says a lot more about our part of the conference. It makes this game huge, and that much more fun to play in." - Edited by Ashlee Kieler 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ERIDAY OCTOBER 5, 2007 FRIDAY,OCTOBER 5,2007 overheard Kansas at Kansas State: "I made my own KU power towel and matching robe.

Here are the players who should scorch the competition on Sunday and the players who will be left out in the cold. PETER MURPHY THRILLERS BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM Matt Schaub, Houston quarterback: The Texans quarterback has arguably proven himself as the best offseason acquisition in the NFL so far. Houston faces a Miami Dolphins team on Sunday that has no wins. The Dolphins pass defense has looked good mainly because it has played against the Redskins, the Cowboys, the Jets and the Raiders. With the exception of Dallas' Tony Romo, Jason Campbell of the Redskins, Chad Pennington of the Jets, and Daunte Culpepper of the Raiders are nothing to write home about. Schaub will have an open field all day to pass the ball on, especially if Andre Johnson is back in the lineup. Miami also has the worst rushing defense in the NFL, so that should help open the Houston offense. Marion Barber, Dallas running back: The Cowboys have looked like the best team in the NFC through four games. This week they get the Monday night spotlight and a terrible Bills队. All of this should lead to a big game by Barber. He is the workhorse of the Cowboys running game, and Julius Jones pales in comparison to Barber statistically. The Bills have the 27th ranked rushing defense in the NFL. Barber will have a lot of holes to run through all night. Steve Smith, Carolina wide receiver: Smith has struggled the last two games, having a total of six catches for 42 yards. Luckily he faces the Saints defense this weekend; just the thing to get him back to pro-bowl form. New Orleans has the 25th ranked passing defense, and if Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison can burn Jason David, then so can Steve Smith. 26 Denver Broncos defensive end Evis Dumervil reaches on the top of Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback David Garrard to recover a loose ball in Denver on Sunday. San Diego's Philip Rivers will have his hands full this weekend against Denver's top-ranked defense. ASSOCIATED PRESS Projected stats Tennessee defense: The Titans have the second-best rushing defense in the NFL, but they also have the 25th ranked passing defense. That should not worry them too much this weekend, though, as they take on the lowly Falcons. Falcons running backs Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood have struggled getting any momentum going so far this season, and the team is lead at quarterback by Joey Harrington. The Titans should dominate on Sunday. THRILLERS Matt Schaub 24/30 303 passing yards 2 touchdowns 31 rushing yards 1 touchdown **Steve Smith** 11 catches 124 receiving yards 1 touchdown Marion Barber lawn barber 16 carries 118 rushing yards 2 touchdowns Philip Rivers 16/29 198 passing yards 2 interceptions Dwayne Bowe 4 catches 18 yards CHILLERS Jamal Lewis Jamal Lewis 20 carries 32 rushing yards 1 fumble Philip Rivers, San Diego quarterback: The Chargers will play against the league's best passing defense on Sunday when they face the Broncos. The duo of Champ Bailey and Dre' Bly is one of the best cornerback tandems in the NFL. Considering the Chargers have struggled rushing the ball this year and that their tight end is their best receiver, it could be a long day for the passing offense. Jamal Lewis, Cleveland running back: Lewis has looked dependable with the Browns offense. He rushed for more than 200 yards against the Bengals in week two. This weekend, though, he faces the best defense in the NFL in New England. New England is stacked this year and it shows. The Patriots dominate on both sides of the ball. They have the fourth-best passing defense and the third-best rushing defense in the NFL. That said, Lewis will have a hard time ggitting anything going on Sunday. Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City wide receiver: Jacksonville has the third-best passing defense in the NFL. Rashean Mathis is one of the best young corners in the league, and he is probably who will cover the Kansas City receiver on Sunday. The return of Eddie Kennison might help, but then again, it's Eddie Kennison. This should be an interesting game between the Chiefs and the Jaguars, but don't expect too much production from Bowe in this game. Chicago defense: The Bears play the Packers on Sunday. That means they have to play against Brett Favre, a quarterback who is on a mission to break every career-passing record in the NFL this season. The Chicago defense is plagued by injuries on the defensive side this year, and then there's the offense. Is there a worse offense in the NFL than the Bears? That is the question that will be decided throughout the season, but the defense will definitely keep the defense on the field too long, and the Packers will benefit from it. — Edited by Meghan Murphy 》 SOCCER Team faces Drake, Tech on road BY ALISON CUMBOW cumbow@kansan.com ONE NEW, ONE OLD Following a disappointing two loss weekend, the Kansas soccer team will travel to Des Moines, Iowa, to challenge nonconference rival Drake at 6:30 tonight. On Sunday, the team will travel back to Texas to face off against Texas Tech in Lubbock at 1 p.m. THE LATEST Last weekend's second game, against No. 3 Texas A&M, ended in a 5-1 loss. Senior Nicole Cauzillo scored the lone goal against the Aggies, which was her second this season. The Jayhawks will go into the weekend with a 1-8-2 overall record, including six shutout games and an 0-1-1 conference record. They tied the Baylor Bears 2-2 in their first conference game of the season with goals from freshman Rachel Morris and sophomore Shannon McCabe. BATTLING THE BULDOGS FOR THE FIRST TIME The Drake Bulldogs will meet Kansas with a 2-5-2 record. They returned 14 letter-winners to their roster from last season, when Drake Rachel Morris I. M.

NO. 19 TEXAS (4-1) The upsets these two teams endured last week undoubtedly forced the annual Red River Shootout in Dallas to lose a little luster — but not much. It's still Oklahoma versus Texas, one of the greatest rivalries in college football. Although it doesn't hold national-title implications unlike the last five years, the loser of this game will find itself 0-2 in conference play and all but eliminated for a chance at a Big 12 title. Both teams lost last week because of too many turnovers. Texas quarterback Colt McCoy stood no chance against a strong Kansas State defense and threw four interceptions before leaving the game early with a concussion. Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford threw two interceptions, but receivers Malcolm Kelly and Juaqu Iglesias are mostly at fault for not holding onto the passes. NO. 25 NEBRASKA (4-1) AT NO. 17 MISSOURI (4-0) (5-0) NO. 9 FLORIDA (4-1) AT NO. 1 LOUISIANA STATE Both teams' defenses haven't been able to stop anyone. Both teams' offenses haven't been stopped by anyone. Could Tim Tebow have a weakness after all? If the Heisman candidate does, it will be revealed at Tiger Stadium Saturday. The Tigers have beaten the Cornhuskers each of the last two times in Columbia, Mo., but it's been more than 50 years since they've beaten the Huskers three times in a row at home. The Tigers boast the nation's top defense against the run and the pass. Auburn was able to contain Tebow in the rushing game last week with his longest carry only accounting for 12 vards. and Stryker Sulak are great pass rushers but have had problems against the run. The Tigers are only surrendering 158 rushing yards per game. Coach Urban Meyer's best bet against the speedy LSU defense might be to get the ball quickly to sophomore Harvin on screen passes. The Tigers will likely blanket Harvin with senior cornerback Jonathon Zenon as frequently as they can. ASSOCIATED PRESS To accomplish the feat, Mizzou quarterback Chase Daniel must be perfect. He averaging more than 350 yards passing per game, which ranks fifth in the nation, but he still occasionally gets careless with the ball. The Nebraska defensive backs have shown a propensity for giving up big plays with soft coverage on receivers that could help Daniel.

NO. 4 OHIO STATE (5-0) AT NO.23 PURDUE (5-0) The Buckeyes are undefeated after five games for the second year in a row while the Boilermakers are looking to go 6-0 for the first time in 64 years. Purdue quarterback Curtis Painter is off to as good of a start as anyone in the nation with 308 yards per game and 18 touchdown passes on a 67 percent completion rate. Although he's a three year starter, Painter has never played against Ohio State. He should be ecstatic he's never played against a defense as good as the Buckeyes. They rank second in the nation in total defense, led by linebacker James Laurinatis' 43 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions. NO.15 VIRGINIA TECH (4-1) AT NO.22 CLEMSON (4-1) (4-1) This game may be a preview of the ACC Championship Game because Clemson and Virginia Tech have looked the most impressive out of each of the conference's respective divisions. The Hokies threw the Tiger's season off track last year with a 24-7 victory in Blacksburg, Va., right after the Tigers garnered national acclaim for their 7-1 record. Virginia Tech has dominated Clemson historically as the Tigers haven't beaten the Hokies since 1989. Except for giving up 48 points to LSU, the Virginia Tech defense has been stingy. Hokie linebackers Xavier Adibi and Vince Hall are combining for nearly 20 tackles per game and are a perfect match for Clemson's electrifying duo at running back, James Davis and C.J. Spiller. OTHER GAMES: OKLAHOMA STATE (3-2) ATTEXAS A & M (4-1) Cowboy quarterback Zac Robinson, with eight touchdowns and six interceptions, hasn't exactly been outstanding since replacing Bobby Reid. But Robinson will have a chance at improving those numbers against an A&M secondary allowing 232 passing yards per game. COLORADO (3-2) AT BAYLOR (3-2) Have the Buffalooes moved on and set their sights on the Bears after last week's massive victory against Oklahoma? IOWA STATE (1-4) AT TEXAS TECH (4-1) Red Raider freshman receiver Michael Crabtree leads the nation with 920 receiving yards, nearly 250 yards ahead of the receiver in second place. STANFORD (1-3) AT NO. 2 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (4-0) The Cardinal has given up an average of 47 points to the three Pac-10 Conference opponents they've faced. None of them had the talent the Trojans have. NO. 5 WISCONSIN (5-0) AT ILLINOIS (4-1) The Badgers play a physical, exhausting brand of football by pounding senior running back P.J. Hill between the tackles. The Fighting Illini fly around the field like a Blue Angels rally, counting on big plays from young players such as freshman Arrelious Benn. NO. 6 SOUTH FLORIDA (4-0) AT FLORIDA ATLANTIC (3-2) The Bulls are ranked in the top 10 after only 11 years as a program. The Owls are only in their sixth year as a football team and are envious of the success of their in-state counterpart. BOWLING GREEN (3-1) AT NO. 7 BOSTON COLLEGE (5-0) The Falcons and the Eagles meet for the first time in history Saturday. NO.12 GEORGIA (4-1) AT TENNESSEE (2-2) Georgia has won three in a row at Neyland Stadium. The Volunteer secondary has been nothing short of awful but is coming off a bye week to face the Bulldogs. NO.13 WEST VIRGINIA (4-1) AT SYRACUSE (1-4) Syracuse has looked terrible in every game this year except one; its 38-35 upset victory against Louisville, West Virginia's Big East rival. NO. 18 ARIZONA STATE (5-0) AT WASHINGTON STATE (2-3) When Dennis Erickson took over as coach of the Wildcats, he was expected to find unprecedented success in Tempe, Ariz. But no one thought that success would translate in his first year. NO. 20 CINCINNATI (5-0) AT NO. 21 RUTGERS (4-1) The Bearcats have relied on a strong passing attack from senior quarterback Ben Mauk in their first five games. But led by standout strong safety Ron Girault, the Scarlet Knights are ranked fourth in total passing defense.

Svistun PLEASE READ BELOW FOR DETAILS. The team will send junior Yuliana Svistun, sophomore Kunigunda Dorn, freshmen Maria Martinez and Mymee Tokuda to the tournament. The Jayhawks compete against players from top-ranked squads Georgia, Indiana, Iowa and Western Michigan. Kansas State and Illinois will also compete. Kansas has been working hard the past few weeks and have set high goals for the tournament. Dorn, who won flight B in singles play at last year's tournament, wants to duplicate that success this year, and Swistun wants to build off a 3-1 performance in singles play at the Cissie Leary Tournament two weeks ago. Swistun reached last year's semifinals. "I want to get at least that far this year" Swistun said. Dorn and Svistun will also compete in doubles. Dorn will be paired with Martinez, and Svistun will team up with Tokuda. The freshmen players do not have as much experience as their teammates, but both Dorn and Svistun said they were doing everything they could to help their younger doubles partners. "For doubles I just want to win as many matches as we can," Svistun said. "I am with a freshman, so I am just trying to help her out as much as possible." Dorn and Svistun said they Dorn and thought the hard work they have put in as a team, on the court and in the weight room, would pay off this weekend. "We have tennisinfo **Who:** Kansas tennis team **What:** Hoosier Classic **Where:** Bloomington, Ind. **When:** Oct. 5-7 we have been lifting weights hard just trying to get physically stronger so we can play three sets," Svistun said. "We have been focusing on playing a lot of sets in practice also." "For doubles I just want to win as many matches as possible." have been focusing on. For Dorn, who battled injuries in the early part of the season, this has not been easy. "I have had some injuries, like my ankle and my elbow, but I have Aside from lifting and conditioning, Dorn and Svistun have been working to improve certain areas of their game. Dorn said that she wanted to play more offensively. Svistun said she had been working on going to the net more. Both cite serving as one of the key areas they YULIANA SVISTUN Junior been able to serve so it's getting better." Dorn said. Senior Elizaveta Avdeeva and junior Edina Horvath will not travel to Bloomington this weekend because they just finished play at the ITA All-American Championships in California. Avdevea lost a pre-qualifying match Sept. 28 to Auburn's Alexandra Haney 6-4, 7-6 (5). Avdevea and Horvath were eliminated from the doubles qualifying draw on Tuesday by the 59th nationally ranked duo Marshall's Kellie Schmitt and Karolina Soor 8-4. Edited by Ashlee Kieler NHL Professional hockey goalie spends 40th birthday in prison The worst goailie in the history of professional hockey is spending his 40th birthday in prison. Not for atrocious goaltending, mind you — though Attila Ambrus once gave up 23 goals in a game, and 88 in a memorable five-game stretch — but for robbing banks during a post-Iron Curtain crime spree that became the stuff of legend. Seven years into a 17-year sentence, one of his few regrets is that it's become harder than ever to follow the just-launched NHL season. "The only time I can see clips," Ambrus said, "is through the state-owned Hungarian television channel." At the time of his capture in 1999, Ambrus' popular support among his adopted countrymen 4821 W 6th Suite M On the SE corner of 6th and Wakarusa behind People's Bank (785) 865-2787 Art Realm End of summer clearance SALE! 20%-50% OFF select jewelry, art supplies and clothing NOW ENROLLING Art classes for everyone! For class list visit: was at 80 percent. As recently as two years ago, supporters in a dozen cities around the world toasted his 38th birthday. Ambrus still gets hundreds of letters, inquiries and flirty proposals on his Myspace page, but he's urging friends to mark his birthday Sunday as quietly as possible. "I had a big problem out of this" Ambrus told Rubinstein during the prison interview. It turns out Oct. 6 also is Hungary's national day of mourning, so Ambrus caught plenty of heat for past birthday bashes. "The whole thing came back to haunt me." The same can't be said for his time between the posts for the UTE hockey club, where Ambrus was the backup goalkeeper, janitor and drove the Zamboni. These days, though, most of what little satisfaction Ambrus derives from all that notoriety comes in the form of notes admirers leave on his MySpace page. They barely get him through the day. "I always have to think of the distance and the years I have to face," Ambrus said, "which can be a big obstacle." Associated Press Team enters vital part of schedule 》VOLLEYBALL BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Three weeks into the Big-12 volleyball season and the standings already show a trend. A large gap is forming between the haves and have-nots, and Kansas's upcoming two-game home stretch will be crucial in determining which group the layhawks fall into. "It's a big stretch for us," coach Ray Bechard said. "We have Texas A&M and Colorado and we'll be at home." Nebraska has shown it is once again the class of the conference with a 6-0 league mark. Oklahoma, Texas and Iowa State are tied for second with 5-1 records, while Kansas State follows right behind at 5-2. Kansas, 9-7 and 2-4 in the Big 12, takes on Texas A&M, 12-5 and 2-5, at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The team plays Colorado at home this Wednesday in another crucial match. Then comes Kansas, tied with Missouri in sixth place at 2-4, followed by Texas A&M and Baylor at 2-5. Victories against Texas A&M and Colorado would solidify Kansas as sixth in the Big 12 and inch the Jayhawks closer to the top five. But a couple of home losses in a row might derail the Jayhawks NCAA tournament hopes before the halfway point of the conference schedule. Kansas is coming off consecutive losses against No. 1 Nebraska last Wednesday and at Iowa State this Wednesday, but Bechard said his team was going to take a simple approach going into the two-game stretch. "We'll look at some tape of Texas A&M, and we'll game plan a little bit. But we just have to get consistent and more comfortable with our side of the net," Bechard said. ABOUT THE AGGIES Sophomore Sarah Ammerman leads Texas A&M offensively. She ranks seventh in the Big 12 with 3,98 kills per game. Saturday's opponent, Texas A&M, is coming off a loss at home against No. 7 Texas, but Bechard said he knew Texas A&M would pose a tough test for Kansas. The Aggies started the year off 10-0 during their non-conference season but have stumbled in the Big 12. Their 2-5 conference record might be misleading though. All of Texas A&M's conference losses have come against one of the Big 12 top five teams. OFFENSIVE WOES Kansas needs a strong all-around effort against Texas A&M but an improved offense would be a good place to start. Kansas is last in the Big 12 in three offensive categories: hitting percentage, assists and kills. Bechard said he wanted his team's hitting percentage in the .220 to .240 range. The Jayhawks are hitting a combined.178 going into this weekend. Edited by Jeff Briscoe ku vs. texas a&m 7 p.m. Saturday Horejsi Family Athletics Center Players To Watch Manda is the only Jayhawk to be in the Kansas — Melissa Manda, freshman libero PENNY TOMLINSON top 10 in the conference in a statistical category. The Wichita native is averaging 3.71 digs per game Manda - good enough for ninth in the Big 12. Texas A&M — Jillian Phillips, junior middle blocker junior middle blocker Phillips is hitting a team-high .390 with 2.36 kills per game. The junior is also leading the Aggies in blocks with 1.40 per game. SOFTBALL BY BRITT BEASLEY bbeasley@kansan.com Women wind up fall season the Kansas softball team wants to finish its fall schedule on a strong note this weekend in the Jayhawk Classic. The team will take on Johnson County Community College at 2 p.m. Saturday. It will then play SPEED. KANSAN FILE PHOTO The Kansas softball team has outscored its opponents 51-5 during the fall. The team faces Johnson County Community College, Central Missouri State and UMKC in the Jayhawk Classic this weekend. Central Missouri State at 4 p.m. Saturday. On Sunday the Jayhawks play their last game of the fall at noon against UMKC. All games are played at Arrocha Ballpark, adjant to Allen Fieldhouse. The team has outscored its opponents this fall 51-5. "We have scoring coming out of every part of the lineup," coach Tracy Bunge said. The pitching staff is helped out most by the ability to score runs. "If we can continue to keep scoring runs like we have what it does for us is it takes the pressure off of the pitching staff," Bunge said. The pitching staff is led by junior Val George, who already in this short fall schedule has compiled 13 innings of work while only allowing six hits and one run. She also has struck out 20 batters while walking just one. Represent Your House! All 13 KU sororities Represent Your House! All 13 KU sororities Available in sterling silver & 14k gold The Etc.

Jessica Crabaugh/KANSAN Katie Waugh, Topeka junior and Afternoon Delight player, dribbles the soccer ball down the field during one of the 3-on-3 intramural soccer championship games as Rachel Piezuch, Lenexa sophomore and Smurfs player, tries to intercept. There are three different leagues for 3-on-3 soccer: corecreational, men and women. Afternoon Delight defeats Smurfs 7-2 BY JOE PREINER jpreiner@kansan.com Afternoon Delight made the championship for corecreational intramural 3-on-3 soccer anything but close on Thursday, hardly defeating its opponent, the Smurfs. Before the game, Smurfs team member Zach Wright, Austin, Texas, junior, was doubtful about his team's chances. "This is going to be a hard game." Wright said. It turns out that he was right, as Afternoon Delight went up 1-0 in the first 20 seconds of the game. The goal would indicate exactly how the rest of the game would go. Later in the first half, an unfortunate deflection off Smurfs player Adam Engel, Dallas sophomore, resulted in an open goal for Afternoon Delight and a 3-0 score at the half. The game was not the prettiest from either side. Both teams struggled "I'm letting this team down, someone else needs to come in," Patel said. "We've played this team like six times. It's been back and forth." somewhat with the hard ground. Sumeet Patel, Topeka junior, was not pleased with his personal performance in the first half for Afternoon Delight. RACHEL PIEZUCH Smurfs player Afternoon Delight did just that, and the team raised its goal count to seven while attempting to post a championship shutout. The second half wore on for several more minutes before the Smurfs finally broke through. With just minutes left in the game, the team notched its first goal. "It was a pride goal," Wright said. Smurfs notched one more consolation goal in the half. The score was 7-2 in favor of Afternoon Delight when the final whistle blew. Smurfs had no hard feelings afterward. The players knew it wasn't their day. "We've played this team like six times. It's been back and forth," Lenexa sophomore Rachel Piezuch said. The teams shook hands and congratulations were given to the winners. Afternoon Delight went on to celebrate the victory with championship T-shirts and a team photo. - Edited by Meghan Murphy MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS The dream continues for the Rockies PHILADELPHIA — Home or away, these Colorado Rockies are on quite a roll. Matsui connected off scheduled Game 4 starter Kyle Lohse, rushed in to relieve struggling rookie Kyle Kendrick in the fourth inning. Kaz Matsui hit his first career grand slam and drove in five runs, leading the Rockies over the Philadelphia Phillies 10-5 Thursday for a 2-0 lead in their NL playoff series. At this rate, the best-of-five series may not get that far. Rookie Ubaldo Jimenez will try to pitch Colorado to a sweep Saturday night at Coors Field against veteran Jamie Moyer Making just the second postseason appearance in the franchise's 15-year history, Colorado is on the verge of going to its first NL championship series. The wild-card Rockies posted their eighth straight road victory, and have won 16 of 17 overall. Matsui fell a single short of the cycle, and Troy Tulowitzki and Matt Holliday homered on consecutive pitches in the first inning off Kendrick, who got a quick hook from manager Charlie Manuel. The Phillies had a chance to make it interesting in the eighth, loading the bases with two outs. But closer Manny Corpas came in and retired Carlos Ruiz on a bouncer to third. Corpas worked around a pair of two-out singles in a scoreless ninth for his second save in as many days.

On Sunday the tournament play begins and ends when only one team is left standing. One key element of an ultimate Frisbee game is the absence of officials. The teams make their own calls, allowing for a highly competitive atmosphere. Seniors Brauch and McFarland both plan on extending their Frisbee careers after college. Many KU Frisbee alumni stay active in the President Dan Brauch said, "Fall is for fun and correcting mistakes, while the spring season is more competitive." Even though the team's players definitely enjoy themselves, they have also maintained an extremely high level of play, which is evident by their presence at the national tournament for the past two years. Brauch also said that one of the team's greatest achievements was its victory against perennial powerhouse Colorado last year. top returning players Dan Brauch Lenexa senior Jack McFarland Sioux Falls, S.D., senior Ryan Bigley San Antonio, Texas, senior Kevin Kelly Deerfield, Ill., junior Dave Waller Plymouth, Minn., junior Taylor Holenbeck Manhattan junior Abe Jacobs St. Paul, Minn., sophomore Justin Kaminsky Minnetonka, Minn., sophomore sport by playing for an after-college club team.

The Jayhawks have outscored opponents 214-23 in their first four games, but those opponents have a combined record of 4-18, making Kansas' performance difficult to assess. Kansas State will provide Kansas with a better measuring stick and could be a sobering reality check this weekend. BYTHENUMBERS COUNTDOWN TO KICK-OFF (2007 stats—national ranking) 53.5 ppg - 4th scoring offense 226.8 ypg - 12th rushing offense 326 ypg - 10th passing offense 5.5 ppg - 1st scoring defense 94.8 ypg - 21th rushing defense 124 ypg - 3rd passing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier. Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Meier would likely line up as a receiver in specific formations this Saturday. Kansas fans should hope he doesn't have to fill in at quarterback. The Kansas State defense is a physical group that punishes quarterbacks. Just ask Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, who Kansas State knocked out of last Saturday's game with a mild PETER ROSS concussion. If Kansas starter Todd Reeing suffers a similar fate tomorrow, Meier could be pressed into action. QUESTION MARKS Will Kansas finally catch the turnover bug? Through the first four games, the Jayhawks have done a decent job holding onto the ball and a fantastic job avoiding interceptions. Todd Reesing has only thrown one pick in 125 pass attempts, but the Wildcats have phenomenal defensive backs in safety Marcus Watts and cornerback Justin McKinney. How much defensive pressure can the Jayhawks apply? The Kansas pass rush has been decent through the first four games, but the opposing offensive lines haven't been Big 12-caliber. If Kansas defensive ends John Larson and Russell Brorsen can pressure Josh Freeman into making mistakes, the game could be a repeat of last year's 39-20 Kansas victory.

Kansas has relied on a balanced attack early in the season, running on 54 percent of its offensive plays and going to the air the other 46 percent of the time. Sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier has appeared as a receiver, as has junior cornerback Aqlb Talib. The best news of all for the Jayhawks could be sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing's emergence as a capable leader. Reesing has posted an 11:1 touchdown to interception ratio through four games. ★★★★★ DEFENSE The Jayhawk defense has been stifling in every sense of the word. Teams have only been able to gain rushing yards on the KU secondstringers and passing against Kansas has been completely out of the question. Senior defensive tackle James McLinton seems to get faster and more ferocious each week, the redesigned group of linebackers defends the run and the pass equally well and the secondary has been airtight. But the Jayhawks haven't faced a decent offense since they shut down Central Michigan in the season-opener. Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman and wide receiver Jordy Nelson should provide quite the change of pace Saturday. ★★★☆ SPECIAL TEAMS Both teams kickoff coverage units could have their hands full Saturday, because two of the best return teams in the nation will showcase their wares at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Kansas junior Marcus Herford is the top kick returer in the Big 12 Conference and ranked sixth nationally in yards per return, while Kansas State averages 27 yards per punt return, which is the best in the nation. The Jayhawks have been stout when covering punts this season, allowing fewer than seven yards per return. ★★★☆ MOMENTUM Kansas accumulated plenty of momentum during a four-week stretch in which it rolled over four overmatched opponents by nearly 50 points per game. Trouble is, Kansas took last week off while Kansas State beat up on the then-No. 7 Texas Longhorns. The Jayhawks will need to come out of the locker room avoid falling behind in a hostile avoid falling behind in a hostile environment because the Wildcats will surely represent a gigantic step up in competition from Kansas' first four opponents. ★★★☆☆ Kansas coach Mark Mangino and his staff have yet to make a misstep so far this season, engineering an exciting new offense and an unrelenting defense. But it's hard to overlook Mangino's record on the road. Since his arrival at Kansas in 2002, Mangino has won just four of his 25 games away from Lawrence. Even less impressive is his 2-18 conference road record. COACHING ★★★☆☆ The graduates, lo- both Deon M for M frien after the be th ill surely repre- n from Kansas' aff have engineering defense, the road. as won Even less Kansas State 3-1,1-0 Big 12 Conference Derek Fine ★★★★☆ OFFENSE The Wildcats have the firepower to be a top-tier offense, the only question is whether their offensive line does its job. Leaks in the backfield and linemen who dread to watch game film have been a disturbing part of Kansas State's offense in 2007. Despite that, sophomore quarterback Josh Freeman has managed games well. The KSU offense constantly throws quick passes up and down the field, and Freeman gets the ball in the playmaker's hands. Senior wide receiver Jordy Nelson is second in the nation with 10.5 receptions per game and fifth with 124 receiving yards per game. Receiver Deon Murphy serves as the other starting receiver and running back James Johnson starts in the backfield. Freeman has three outstanding targets DEFENSE ★★☆★★ Seven of the starters are seniors. That means the Kansas State defense rarely makes mistakes — if any. The Wildcat defense has found profound success through its first four games since switching to a three-four scheme before the season. All-Big 12 performer Ian Campbell switched from defensive end to outside linebacker to conform to the new defense and hasn't missed a beat. Campbell routinely fights through offensive lines and makes opposing quarterback's hearts pound. Senior defensive end Rob Jackson and interior lineman Steven Cline use the same technique, which gives the Wildcats the best pass rush in the Big 12. The secondary defends the pass just as well as the front seven rushes it. Led by seniors Marcus Watts and Justin McKinney, Kansas State held Texas' standout receiver Limas Sweed to two catches last week. SPECIAL TEAMS The graduation of Yamon Figurs, one of the nation's best kick returners, looked like it would be a huge loss for the Wildcats. But both Neon Murphy and Jordy Nelson already have returned punts from the game. The Wildcats are first in the or touchdowns this year. The Wildcats are first in a nation in punt return average and in the top 25 for kick return average. Senior Tim Reyer is a consistent punter as he averages 45 yards with a long of 58 yards. Junior Brooks Rossman has made all but one field goal, and that one was from beyond 50 yards. ★★★☆ MOMENTUM The Wildcats are eager to get back to the friendly confines of Bill Snyder Family Stadium after last week's big victory at Texas and hear their fan's roar. With the Sunflower Showdown being more meaningful than ever this year, the 52,000 people dressed in Powercat gear will be as rowdy as a mosh pit. But no matter what Kansas State players say, they remember what Kansas did to them after the Wildcats' win against Texas. If the Jayhawks can strike with a big play early, it would deflate the large crowd and open past wounds. ★★★★☆ COACHING When Kansas State hired coach Ron Prince two years ago, he had served as Virginia's offensive coordinator and many people were puzzled by the decision. But four games into Prince's second season, it's becoming clear what Kansas State Athletics Director Tim Weiser saw in him. Prince became only the fifth head coach in Big 12 history to take over a program after a losing season and lead it to a bowl game the next year. Prince preaches disciplines and relates to players with a youthful energy. Prince has surrounded himself with two similar coordinators, James Franklin on offense and Tim Tibesar on defense, who are young and energetic. ★★★★☆ KSU KICK-OFF Case Keefer AT A GLANCE The Wildcats did a bit of everything in their victory against Kansas last week. They returned a punt, kickoff and interception for a touchdown while still scoring twice offensively. Kansas State is more battle-tested than its in-state rivals with trips to Auburn and Texas already behind it. The team will be ready to avenge last season's 39-20 loss in Lawrence. BY THE NUMBERS (2007 stats — national ranking) 37. 25ppg—21st scoring offense 124ypg—84th rushing offense Asher Fusco 265. 75ypg-30th parsing offense 17ppg—18th scoring defense 79. 25ppg - 11th rushing defense 197ppg-42nd PLAYER TO WATCH passing defense passing defense Senior wide receiver Jordy Nelson. It shouldn't be hard to Nikko Nelson keep an eye on the 6-foot-3, 275-pound wide receiver. Nelson is the cornerstone of the Wildcat offense and is always quarterback Josh Freeman's first option. When he's not catching the ball, he's throwing it. Nelson is two-for-two on the year with two passing touchdowns on trick plays. The contest against a solid Kansas secondary should be an intriguing one. QUESTION MARKS Which team really is faster? Senior cornerback Justin McKenny said it was the Wildcats, but that could be used as KU bulleton board material. Now, Kansas feels it has something to prove. >> Will KSU quarterback Josh Freeman fall into a similar trap this year against the Jayhawks? Kansas beat Kansas State last year by persistently sending players at Freeman, who committed five turnovers.

The Javhawks broke an 18-year losing streak with their win in Manhattan. 1 BY ASHER FUSCO BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com MANHATTAN, Kan. - It took all of eight seconds for Todd Reesing's impressive progress as a starting quarterback to come to a screeching halt. But 59 minutes and 52 seconds of football later, Reesing stood atop the world of Kansas football after engineering a 30-24 victory, the Jayhawks' first at Kansas State (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) since 1989. Kansas (5-0, 1-0) won the coin toss and elected to take possession of the ball in an attempt to silence the rowdy crowd of more than 50,000. After the opening kickoff sailed through the end zone for a touchback, Reesing and the Jayhawks took over at the 20-yard line with junior cornerback Aqib Talib and sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier lined up at wide receiver. The ensuing play was not quite as exciting as the KU formation. Placed under duress by the KSU pass rush, Reeing unleashed a medium-length pass that was adeptly snatched from the air by Kansas State sophomore free safety Chris Carney. At that moment, the optimism spurred by Kansas' 4-0 start seemed to evaporate. Fifteen minutes and only 38 yards of Kansas offense later, the Jayhawks trailed their in-state rivals, 7-0, after one disheastern quarter. “Our first quarter was pretty poor.” Reesing said. “We didn't get things clicking like we wanted to at the start of the game. I think we just had to get settled and used to playing on the road in a new environment." Playing in a new and hostile environment certainly has not been Kansas' strong suit during coach Mark Mangino's tenure. Entering Saturday, Kansas had won only two of its 20 Big 12 road games. Mangino only had one road victory in the last year-and-a-half to his name — at Iowa State in 2006. After they walked off of the field Saturday, the Kansas players said they felt a new confidence surrounding the 2007 team. "That was the kind of game we would've gave away last year with all of the immaturity we had on the field," Talib said. "This year we have more experience and we kept our confidence at the end of the game. The offense got first downs when last year we would have put the defense back on the field. As a team, it's a big win and a big step for us." OVERCOMING EARLY ADVERSITY Kansas State swung the momentum even further midway through the first quarter when sophomore quarterback Josh Freeman threw a perfect strike to senior wide receiver Jordy Nelson, who beat Talib down the sideline and raced 68 yards to the end zone. The The Jayhawks, still relatively inexperienced after playing their first four games of 2007 at home, had plenty to overcome Saturday afternoon. touchdown, scored by Kansas State's most potent offensive weapon at the expense of Kansas' most acclaimed defender, brought the fans to fever pitch and buried the Jayhawks under a sea of noise and rotating power towels. The Kansas offense punched back early in the second quarter with a quick 86-yard scoring drive. Reesing and sophomore running back Jake Sharp were the stars of the drive for Kansas. Reesing scrambled 10 yards to convert on third-and-four, and Sharp gained 40 yards on four carries, the last of which resulted in a touchdown and a 7-7 stalemate. Reesing and Sharp, the two smallest players on the field for much of the afternoon, often shouldered an enormous load. Reesing completed 22-of-35 passes for 267 yards and three touchdowns and Sharp gained 77 yards on 17 carries, scoring once. "Me and Todd have a certain element of swagger about us," Sharp said. "I guess we have little man syndrome – a chip on our shoulders. If somebody says that we can't do something, it's like, 'Well, watch this'" Kansas State did not stand by idly and watch Kansas take control of the game. The Wildcats traveled 80 yards on 11 plays on their next drive to take a 14-7 lead late in the second quarter. But the layhawds did not wait long to showcase their resilience, as junior defensive end Russell Brorsen intercepted a pass at the Kansas State 44-yard line, sparking a quick six-play drive that ended with Talib catching a five-yard touchdown that helped wash away the memory of Nelson's first-quarter score. Talib's score was his fourth receiving touchdown of the season and stretched his streak of games with a touchdown to six dating back to last year. THE SECOND HALF The Kansas defense and offense each buckled down in the third quarter. The defense held Freeman to 5-of-11 passing and forced the Kansas State offense to punt twice and settle for a field goal late in the period. The offense moved the ball with ease, as Reesing engineered an 80-yard scoring drive in fewer than four minutes. Beginning in the third quarter, the Wildcats brought blitzes of all varieties from their 3-4 defensive set, leaving open lanes for senior Brandon McAnderson, who finished with a team-high 81 yards on 12 carries. "They tried to bring pressure — they tried to man up and play some zone, and it worked," Mangino said. "They did some good things, but we had a good feel for the run game. They were giving us some opportunities in the run game because they were worried about some things in the pass game." The Kansas defense was able to hold SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 4A 》 HEALTH Workshop combats stress Students feeling stressed out can find some relief today.

Spotlight on Organizations CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BY JENNIFER TORLINE When Katie Jahnke, Shawnee senior, returned from studying abroad in Europe last summer, she had no idea that her experiences would prompt her to become involved with a local chapter of AIESEC, the world's largest youth organization. "My bubble burst and I was interested in international everything," Jahnke said. AIESEC is a French acronym that translates to "International Association of Students in Economics and Sciences". Jahnke, president of AIESEC, stressed that this acronym was outdated because the organization now involves all areas of academics, not just business. According to the AIESEC Web site, nine students in six countries formed the organization in 1948. Since then, the organization spread to more than 100 countries and 800 universities. AIESEC The purpose of the organization is to increase international understanding and cooperation through the exchange of perspectives and people, especially through international internships and networking. Jahnke encouraged students to participate in upcoming AIESEC events and to get involved on a local level. BELLOWSTONE BAR AISEC hosted "Women in Islam" on Sept. 26 at the Global Cafe, 820 Mass. St. The group meets at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays. "Each chapter in the world maintains contact with businesses in their region," Joanne Zhou, Wichita sophomore and finance director of AISEC, said. "Through that contact we are able to send KU students abroad through internships." All AIESEC interns are paid or compensated, with housing covered. Students who serve an internship through AIESEC pay only a one-time $500 fee. The University of Kansas chapter of AIESEC has 40 members and meets at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays. The group took members to regional and national conferences in the past, and members are planning to attend the regional conference this month in Oklahoma City. Zhou attended the regional conference last April, and plans on attending it again this year. "It's a way to contribute to international understanding," she said. "I also think it's a good way to build up your leadership, management and organizational skills." "It's a great opportunity for students who want to study abroad," Jahnke said. "It also allows them to get involved with international activities and add a global perspective to their everyday lives.

When a skunk with its head stuck in a salad dressing jar wandered into the Carrollton Township police station's parking lot, he grabbed a pellet gun and shot at the jar from about 40 feet away. The shots cracked and shattered the jar, leaving a glass collar around the skunk's neck. With its head free, the skunk ran off. "I didn't want to use deadly force, and it is a residential area," Kellett told The Saginaw News. "The way he was when he took off, he was able to eat, breathe and spray — and do anything else skunks like to do." Kellett didn't get much in the way of gratitude, but he's grateful the skunk didn't spray. on campus Recruiters from El Paso Corporation will be available all day in 103 Lindley Hall.

The debate focused on whether funds should be supplemental or primary for multicultural groups and events. Senate rules and regulations specifies that the Multicultural Education Fund can fund up to 25 percent over $1,000, in addition to the 50 percent over $1,000 that Student Senate can fund a event or group. Rules and Regulations do not state whether multicultural groups or events should seek primary funds from Student Senate or primary funds from the Multicultural Education Fund board. The Multicultural Education Fund, currently consisting of about $70,000, was created in April 2006 after University of Kansas students voted on a referendum. The vote increased student fees by $1.50 per fall and spring semesters and 75 cents for the summer semester to provide additional funding for multicultural groups and events on campus. The University then created the Multicultural Education Fund board, which consisted of four members of the Multicultural Resource Center and four student senators representing the Finance Committee, University Affairs Committee, Student Rights' Committee and Multicultural Affairs Committee, that met no less than once a month to determine which groups or events received funds. Some senators think Senate rules and regulations are unclear about whether multicultural groups should go to Senate or the MCEF Board first if they need funding. Austin Kelly, Lawrence senior and student body treasurer, said that this was not made clear in the referendum or by the Student Executive Committee when it wrote the Board into Rules and Regulations. "The referendum was written by StudEx last summer, and it was thrown together," Kelly said. "This should have been done last year. This should have been over." Kelly said that he did not have an opinion on whether the funding should be primary or supplemental. "The most important thing is that the MCEF Board needs to fund things that Senate can't," Kelly said. Kelly said that he was concerned the board would only be used by groups such as the Black Student Union and Hispanic American Leadership Organization. He said he was afraid those groups, along with a couple of other large minority organizations, would drain the Fund. Hannah Love, Dodge City senior, student body president and one of the original authors of the referendum, said that the fund was intended to be supplemental, and this was clearly written in Student Senate rules and regulations. "A lot of the uproar is confusion," Love said. "People think they're double dipping, but they're not." Love also said that the Multicultural Resource Center had engaged in outreach to prevent the funds from only going to one group. Michael Wade Smith, Goodland freshman and Finance Committee representative on the MCEF board, said that groups needed to be told where to go first to receive funding. "That fund should be a supplemental fund. They should be able to come and double dip," Smith said. "Finance just doesn't want that group to be another finance committee." Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior and student body vice president; said he thought the fund was intended to be supplemental. He also said that he understood the confusion senators had over the issue, and that a consensus needed to be reached this year about how to approach the funds. "I think it's already hindered business," Wittlinger said. "It's great to have if it's used right." Love said that executive members of Senate needed to sit down with committees to clarify Appendix N, which was the section of rules and regulations devoted to the Multicultural Education Fund Board. She also said it was up to senators to make sure the confusion did not delay Senate business. "It's their own fault," Love said. "They need to sit down and read Appendix N." — Edited by Kaitlyn Syring 》 HEALTH Ultrasound devices to detect hidden heart disease symptoms BY MARILYN MARCHIONE ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS MADISON, Wis. — What if your doctor could swipe a wand over your neck and reveal whether you have hidden heart disease? That is now possible in places other than the sickbay of the starship Enterprise. Miniature ultrasound machines are starting to make their way into ordinary doctors' offices. Some of these devices can make images of neck arteries, which offer a "window" to heart arteries that cannot easily be seen. If the neck vessels are clogged, doctors know that those around the heart probably are, too, and that treatment or more testing is needed. The new ultrasound machines offer a relatively cheap, painless way to screen people with no symptoms of heart problems for signs of hidden trouble. Many doctors say yes, because for one-third of heart disease sufferers, the first symptom is dropping Is that a good thing? HEALTH dead of a heart attack. Finding these people early and treating them could save lives. And while patients who see the pictures may be motivated to quit smoking, lose weight or go on cholesterol drugs, some might suffer side effects from unnecessary treatment. The American Heart Association says testing with traditional ultrasound machines can help certain patients, but does not endorse widespread screening with the small devices because proof of benefit is lacking. Guidelines from several groups suggesting who should use the small ultrasound devices, and on which patients, are expected next spring. On balance, many doctors see more promise than peril. "It's equivalent to a mammogram of the heart," said Dr. Christopher Rembold, a cardiologist at the University of Virginia. If doctors see something suspicious, they can refer patients to specialists for more extensive tests before deciding whether or how to treat it, he said. Workshop combats stress,offers ways to relax BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com "That was probably the most hectic." Stark said. Jordan Stark had midterm exams, papers to write and a discussion to lead in his Western Civilization class last week. Stark, Leawood sophomore, got through the busy week, but not without some stressful moments. Stark said he often played basketball or went fishing to relieve stress, but he wanted to learn how he could manage stress better. Counseling and Psychological Services hosts a stress management workshop from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. today in 2100 Watkins Health Center. The workshop is free and open to all students. John Wade, counseling psychologist at Watkins Health Center, said the workshop offered students the opportunity to learn stress management techniques that could be useful in daily life. "Stress is something we all have to deal with," Wade said. "And if we can deal with it early in life, it can make a big difference." At the workshop students can learn proper breathing and muscle relaxation techniques to help manage stress. Wade said students would also learn about the benefits of positive self talk. "Often, negative thinking is inaccurate." Wade said. Sandy Johnson, Goodland freshman, is going through her first round of midterms. She said coming to the University from a small town has been a big adjustment. "The classes are stressful," she said. "The exams are crazy." Johnson said when she iwasstressed out she headed outdoors and went on a run. She said she also drank coffee to help relieve stress. Both Stark and Johnson said they had never attended a stress management workshop before, but both thought attending the workshop would be beneficial. Wade said if students learned how to manage stress early in college, it would benefit them long after they graduate. Edited by Ashlee Kieler "This is an opportunity to learn skills and tools that have life-long effects," Wade said. If students cannot attend the workshop today, CAPS will have another workshop Nov. 8 and workshops once a month next semester.

Cherpitel called the landlord immediately after the tour was over, and leased the eight-person house for next school year before the other group could. "it's kind of a race to find the nicer houses," Cherpitel said. "We basically gave ourselves a week to find a house." Students looking for houses in the "student ghetto" "Someone starts the stampede and once it starts it's like a gold rush." around Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio streets for the 2008 school year have been signing leases earlier than usual. Serena Hearn, a landlord who rents out several different sized houses, said that this was the earliest she had ever seen students start looking. Hearn has been renting houses for eight years, and said that people started looking a month earlier every year. She has already rented out a third of her houses. "Someone starts the stampede and once it starts, it's like a gold rush," Hearn said. "Now I'm worried, because I don't know how big this stampede is." because usually she used August and September to focus on maintenance of her houses. Hearn said she thought that it was mainly groups from sororities and fraternities wanting to live out-of-house who were looking so early. She said it had been difficult, Joe Shull, Lenexa junior, said he and a group friends picked out a house they wanted at the end of last year, and spoke to the landlord in early August. Shull said the landlord told them he would lease to them, however, when he received a better offer from a group of women, he rented the house to them instead. "I think our number one obstacle was that we were a bunch of guys," Shull said. "We spoke to another landlord who said he wouldn't rent out to guys at all." SERENA HEARN Landlord Shull said he thought the pressure to find a house intensi- ing to people in other fraternities who had already signed a lease. Rick Krupper, who leased around eight houses in the "student ghetto", said last year he was showing houses at the end of October and signing them in November. "I thought that was early, and then this year I was showing houses in the first part of September," Krupper said. "I can't believe it." Krupper said that the students who were looking earlier wanted the nicer houses, with landlords that take care of them. Nicole Westerdeck, a leasing agent for Hawks Pointe Apartments, said people were looking at apartments earlier than usual as well. She said Hawks Pointe already had people looking at apartments for next year, but that most students wouldn't fill out applications until November or December. "The Lawrence market is always competitive," Westerdeck said. "Location is always a prime factor, especially in students." Hearn said signing leases early was now putting pressure on students to decide whether they wanted to live in the house they were currently in for another year. She said her deadline for groups to decide whether they wanted to stay used to be December, but now she had to move it to Oct. 15. "I don't want to throw people out of their house who want to stav." Hearn said. One method tenants use to help lease houses is to pass them down to friends or members of their fraternity or sorority. Abby Miller, Bloomington, Minn., senior, who has a house on Ohio, said she would like to pass her house down to other girls in her sorority, but that the landlord would make the final decision. "We've already had people asking about it, but we haven't decided what we're going to do," Miller said. Emily Enright, Manhattan junior, was able to lease a nineperson house that a group of girls from her sorority currently lived in. "We knew we wanted it, so we got on it really early." Enright said. Krupper said that he thought signing houses this early has a risk, because students could decide not to come back or to change schools. "That's a long time to make an advanced commitment for a student I think." Krupper said. "But they're willing to do it." — Edited by Ashlee Kieler KC BEERFEST OCTOBER 20 @ THE LEGENDS BRING YOUR BEERFACE Visit kcbeerfest.com today for event details.

Kansas displayed some of the attributes it had obviously lacked in the past several years. The Jayhawks showed enough fight to overcome a slow start, enough heart to Kansas State to just seven points in the fourth quarter, providing all the cushion Reesing and the Jayhawk offense would need. With 7:32 remaining in the game, Reesing completed two quick passes to push the Jayhawks to the Wildcat 30-yard line before firing a touchdown pass over the middle to junior wide receiver Dexton Fields. The Jayhawks overcome a bevy of screaming fans and enough will to tame a Top-25 opponent. "This was a hard fought game," Mangino said. "I'm especially proud of our players, who overcame some adversity. They never gave up and kept making plays on offense and defense."

CRIME the nouse where a shooting rampage took place is seen Sunday in Crandon, Wis. An off-duty sheriff's deputy went on a shooting rampage early in southern Wisconsin, killing six people and injuring a seventh before authorities fatally shot him, officials said. ASSOCIATED PRESS Off-duty sheriff's deputy goes on Sunday morning spree BY ROBERT IMRIE ASSOCIATED PRESS CRANDON, Wis. — An off-duty sherriff's deputy went on a shooting rampage early Sunday at a home where seven young people had gathered for pizza and movies, killing six and critically injuring the other before authorities fatally shot him, officials said. The gunman, Tyler Peterson, was 20 years old and worked full-time as a Forest County deputy sheriff and part-time as a Crandon police officer, said Police Chief John Dennee. Three of the victims were students at the small town's high school, and three were recent graduates, a school official said. The gunman may have graduated from the same high school. The survivor was hospitalized in nearby Marshfield, Dennee said. A Crandon police officer who fired back was treated for minor injuries and released. Gary Bradley, mayor of the city of about 2,000, said earlier Sunday that a sniper killed the suspect, but Van Cleve would not confirm that officers shot the suspect. The circumstances of the shooting were hazy Sunday and it wasn't immediately clear what the gunman's motive was, but the mother of a 14-year-old victim said the suspect may have been a jealous boyfriend. The shooting occurred in a white, two-story duplex about a block from downtown Crandon. "It was a pizza and movie party," Denneau said. Three of the victims were Crandon High School students, said schools Superintendent Richard Peters, and the other three had graduated within the past three years. "There is probably nobody in Peters did not know whether Peterson had also graduated from the 300-student high school. But Crandon resident Karly Johnson, 16, said that she knew the gunman and that he had helped her in a tech Crandon who is not affected by this," Peters said, adding that students would be especially affected.

OCTOBER 8. 2007 NEWS NATION 5A President attends ceremony honoring fallen firefighters Bush pays tribute to those who died in line of duty in 2006 emphasizes amount of courage the dangerous job requires BY NATASHA METZLER ASSOCIATED PRESS EMMITSBURG, Md. (AP) President Bush on Sunday honored fallen firefighters for their dedication and service to the nation. From the Sept. 11 attacks to Hurricane Katrina, "there were firefighters from around the country there to help," Bush said at a ceremony where he and others paid tribute to firefighters killed on the job. "The bond between firefighters is obviously unique. It is definitely a source of strength, and it's a reminder that the work here is a calling, not a job." A plaque with the names of 87 firefighters who died in the line of duty last year was added to the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial on the campus at the National Fire Academy. The names of four others killed in previous years and not honored before were also added. "It takes a special kind of person to be a firefighter," the president told the families and others in the audience. "It begins with a different sense of direction. When an area becomes too dangerous for everybody else, you take it over. When others are looking for the exits, our firefighters are looking for the way in." In his speech, Bush mentioned three of the fallen by name: Kevin A. Apuzzio, of the East Franklin Volunteer Fire Department in Somerset, N.J.; John Destroy Horton, of Rush Springs, Okla; and Amy L. Schnearle-Pennywitt, of Ann Arbor, Mich. He recounted their stories and wondered, "Where do people like this get their courage? Plaques surrounding the memorial, created in 1981, now show the names of more than 3.100 firefighters, according to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The fallen include five U.S. Forest Service firefighters who died from injuries sustained last year from a fire in California's San Bernardino National Forest that investigators saw was deliberately set. Speaking in praise of the commitment by first responders, the president said, "And to all Americans, across our great country, homes still stand and families can go about their lives because firefighters put themselves in harm's way to protect us. So when you walk by a firehouse, or see an ambulance on the street corner, take a moment to go up and say, 'Thank you.'"

A standing-room-only crowd at a community center was warmed up by listening to disco hit "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now." NEW HAMPTON, IOWA — Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken "I pay absolutely no attention to the lead among Democratic presidential candidates in an Iowa poll. an encouraging sign of progress toward overcoming a big hurdle in the race. Although the New York senator is the clear "I pay absolutely no attention to what any poll says or what any pundit on TV says. I have absolutely no interest in that." HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON Democratic presidential candidate front-runner in national surveys, Iowa has remained an elusive prize. She has been in a tight race with John Edwards and Barack Obama in the state that begins the primary campaign voting in three months. Clinton was supported by 29 percent of the 399 respondents to the poll conducted Oct.1-3, compared with 21 percent in May. But her campaign has focused on boosting her appeal in Iowa, including two visits with her husband, former President Clinton, by her side over the summer. The effort appears to have paid off, according to the poll of likely Iowa caucus-goers that was published in Sunday's Des Moines Register. no attention to what any poll says or what any pundit on TV says," the former first lady said. "I have absolutely no interest in that. Nobody has come to a caucus yet. Nobody has cast a vote yet." Edwards and Obama are not far behind, ensuring that all three campaigns will continue their intense efforts in Iowa, which leads off voting in the 2008 primary contests. "I'm doing everything I can to earn the support of lowans," Clinton said during a stop in New While Clinton visited small towns in eastern lowa, Edwards was in the midst of a four-day tour of the state that included stops in 17 counties. The new poll showed his support falling from 29 percent, good enough for first place in May, to 23 percent. That is a statistical tie with Obama's 22 percent. The poll has a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points. Edwards told reporters in Davenport that he sees as a close three-way race, with his two chief rivals rising recently because "they spend millions of dollars on television advertising". "But, I think it's much more important to Iowa caucus-goers to see you in the flesh — see you stand before them, look them in the eye and answer their hard questions," the former North Carolina senator said. Clinton got one of those hard questions in New Hampton, and it led to a heated exchange. Randall Rolph of Nashua challenged her for voting last month to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. Some Democrats said they feared that such a designation could be interpreted as a congressional authorization of military force in Iran. Rolph compared Clinton's vote on the Iran measure with her vote to authorize war in Iraq. "It appears you haven't learned from your past mistakes," he said. Clinton responded that his interpretation was wrong and suggested that someone put him up to asking the question. The man said he did his own research and was offended that she would accuse him of getting it elsewhere. She, apologized but insisted he must be looking at the wrong version of the bill. Their exchange grew heated as he insisted the bill would authorize combat. Clinton snapped back, her voice rising, "I'm sorry, sir, it does not." "I know what we voted for, and I know what we intended to do with it," she said. She said it gives the authority to impose penalties. Many in the crowd applauded her in an effort to cut off the exchange, although afterward at least a couple others in the room came up to thank Rolph. He said he was still undecided about which Democrat he will support, but it would not be Clinton. Your mind isn't the only thing that needs exercise.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 8,2007 NICE AND ACCURATE PROPHECIES PAGE7A Hatred of childhood suits evolves into appreciation Donning formal wear for special occasions made me miserable as a kid,but now I look forward to it GARDENING TIPS BENJAMIN R. SMITH never understood why people dress up their children. Here's the image: a kneehigh-to-a-pig's-eye businessman with an abnormally large head framed by the worst haircut his mother could choose for him and gigantic blue eyes smearing chocolate all over the shirt cuffs that probably cost his mother a lot. This picture haunts me every time I put on a suit, because that little chocolate-smudged businessman was me, age 6. The suit was blue and had a powder-blue shirt and clip-on bow tie (which to this day I still think was the coolest article of clothing I ever owned). I look like Tom Thumb in the photographs my parents show me. It was a friend's wedding, sometime around 1991 or so. The bride looked like Princess Diana by way of Wichita. Anyway, I remember the novelty of the suit and the stern talking-to my mother gave me about keeping it clean. I also remember an altercation with the ring-bearer (a snotty little cuss with whom I had a fight at the reception—I showed him what-for). I don't like weddings. I've been to two in my life. That first one when I was too tiny to care about anything but running in circles until I fell down and rode the wave of dizziness to nirvana. The second wedding was that of my eldest cousin. I was 16 and big enough to wear one of my dad's old suits. Other than weddings, the only other times I wore suits growing up were funerals. Again, I've only ever been to two. One was a neighbor lady who died when I was 10 and I don't much like funerals either, come to think of it. I plan on skipping on all of them from now until eternity. I will attempt to live forever just so I don't have to sit—or rather lay—through my own funeral. It's amazing to me that I've developed a love of wearing suits. But to this day, the perversion of that first suit makes me cringe whenever I see matrons of honor leading their small children by the hands on their way to the chapel; the boys in suits that you can tell they don't want to be in and the girls wearing white cotton gloves and facial expressions that ask the silent question, "Why am I wearing gloves when it's not snowing out, Mommy?" the other was my grandfather, a Korean War veteran who was cool because he was the only grandparent I had who walked with a cane and used to take me fishing in MacArthur Lake. I recall crying like a banshee with a sinus condition through the whole thing. I'm pretty sure my extended family was annoyed by it. They're cute, but miserable. If it weren't for the cake I don't think kids would ever submit themselves to "children's formal wear." Smith is a Rose Hill graduate student in English. Non-conference schedule smacks of greed Athletic Department practices only increase cynicism regarding the football program PETER JASON BRANDON T. MINSTER As a critic of the football team's incredibly soft non-conference schedule, I was concerned last week when I opened the paper and was told I had been quieted by the team's four victories. Really? I thought I felt vindicated. Why hadn't anyone told me sooner how I felt? The reality is that I am far from quieted. The non-conference schedule shows just how cynical and money-hungry the Athletics Department is. The football program has an all-but-notarized plan for reaching a lacrative bowl game: destroy four small schools, beat Iowa State (and K-State yesterday), and hope one other game accidentally goes its way. Last year Kansas went to Missouri and found itself in a competitive game late in the third quarter, only to quit playing twenty minutes earlier than the Tigers, who went on to win 42-17. Just how unfit for a bowl game was last year's team? I brought my kids to sit on the hill and watch the first half of the Oklahoma State game. When we left at halftime, with Kansas winning 14-0, my daughter asked me who won. "No one yet," I said. "But with the way KU's been playing this year, I bet Oklahoma State will." The Cowboys came back for a 42-32 victory. Throw in the Baylor fiasco (a blown 18-point fourth quarter lead) and it embarrasses me that anyone spent any time at all last year talking about going to a bowl game. Time was; bowl games were for good football teams. Now, evidently, they are for just about anybody. Before this season began we heard why we shouldn't discount the strength of this schedule. Then, after winning the first four games by a combined score of 214-23, Coach Mark Mangino said, "I feel like we've been tested about as much as I wanted to be for the first four games." Those first four opponents now have a combined record of 4-15, and some analysts call Kansas's schedule the weakest in the entire FBS. So, in translation, Coach Mangino didn't want to be tested at all. The department should just come clean and say, "We like money." From the decision to charge infants full price (you know, for fire regulation purposes) to the decision to squeeze the hillside with stadium views out of existence (because a football team that plays all its games outdoors needs to practice indoors) to the decision to claim trademark to the word "Kansas" and the color blue (since why else would anyone buy our overpriced licensed clothing) to the decision to increase the licensing fee while limiting the amount of revenue the Chancellor's office receives (because, um, well, just because), the University has shown its top priority is making money for the athletic corporation. Maybe it's time for Kansas to follow Kansas State's lead and adopt new traditions. The football team can change its name from Jayhawks to Moneymakers, and the KU "power towel" can be a dollar bill.

Leavitt said the Democratic-controlled Congress, not the Republican administration, would pay the political price if the State Children's Health Insurance Program stalled due to gridlock. Congress continued funding the program at its current level until mid-November as part of legislation keeping government agencies operating beyond Oct. 1, the start of the new budget year. In an interview with The Associated Press, Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said Bush would be willing to provide more than the $5 billion increase over five years that he first proposed. He declined to say how much additional money was possible. "I'm presuming the Democrats do in fact want the children's insurance program to be reauthorized," Leavitt said. "The president knows bad policy when he sees it. He has said as clearly as possible that 'I want to reauthorize this program and I'm prepared to add to the 20 percent increase I've already proposed'. But we need to have a serious conversation that involves all of the points of view." Leavitt said. But in a warning to Democratic leaders who pledged to stick with their $35 billion increase, Leavitt said Bush would not waver despite attempts to override his veto last week. An override requires a two-thirds majority in the House and Senate. The Senate approved the increase by a veto-proof margin, but the House fell about two dozen votes short of a two-thirds majority. The House scheduled an override vote for Oct. 18. After his veto, Bush immediately signaled a willingness to compromise on a new bill, but congressional Democrats stood firm. "It's hard to imagine how we could diminish the number of children who are covered," said Pelosi, D-Calif., in an interview broadcast on "Fox News Sunday." "The president calls himself 'the decider,' and I don't know why he would want to decide that one child has health care and another does not." In the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is seeking support from 14 more Republicans to vote against the GOP president. "You cannot wring another ounce of compromise out of this", Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said last week. Bush and Leavitt decried the spending increase primarily supported by Democrats as unnecessarily subsidizing middle-income people as part of Democrats" "goal of government-run health care for every American." The program provides health insurance to children in families with incomes too great for Medicaid eligibility but not enough to afford private insurance. But Rep. Charles Rangel, D.N.Y., said Congress already compromised enough, noting that House leaders wanted $50 billion for the program but dropped it down to $35 billion to appease Senate Republicans. "We're prepared to have negotiations at any time the Democrats want to," he said. "Unfortunately they put it off for two weeks so they can play politics with children's health care." Rangel said Bush would suffer the political consequences if the program were not reauthorized. Leavitt said the veto override effort was sure to fail and as a result would waste two weeks during which the administration could work with Congress on new legislation. "We're almost convinced that if the moral thing is being done and you listen to the children's agency, the churches and the synagogues and the mosques, that we'll have those votes to override the president," Rangel said on "Face the Nation" on CBS.

The Jayhawks moved to a 5-0 record for the season and a No. 20 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. COMMENTARY Setbacks can't faze this team With a 30-24 victory at Kansas State, the Jayhawks put conventional wisdom to rest in three different ways. No way could they win on the road, especially in Manhattan where they hadn't done so since 1989, when I was only four years old. No way could they defeat a ranked team. And no way could they do both these things under the pressure of a television audience. The numbers were there. They said Kansas would lose. In this case, the numbers lied. Kansas accomplished it all. "I told our players that this was the day -- that the time was right," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "Our program and our players are confident. They feel good about themselves, and they feel like this 2007 team can win anywhere." Mangino was right. Saturday was the day. The Jayhawks just made their biggest leap as a program since topping No. 4 Colorado on the road in 1995 to move to 5-0 under coach Glen Mason. That was the year Kansas finished ranked in the top 10 with a 10-2 record, giving it all kinds of momentum and a 1996 preseason ranking. Too bad one dropped pass squandered it all. The pass would have sent No. 20 Kansas to a 3-0 record by basically clinching a victory at Utah. kember Chris Fuamatu-Maafala, the "Bad Maafala" who played for the Utes and the Pittsburgh Steelers! He ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns that night. But Kansas June Henley was the real star, with 220 rushing yards in a Heisman-worthy performance. The nation was watching on ESPN2, and the Jawhaws played well enough to win. Utah was out of timeouts, and Kansas had the ball and the lead late in the fourth quarter. But the slot receiver dropped a throw on a BY TRAVIS ROBINETT BY TRAVIS ROBINETT The thrilling 45-42 loss sent the team into a downward spiral of six losses in eight games. The slide drove Glen Mason to the University of Minnesota and sent the program back into the toilet bowl as fast as it had climbed out with the hire of Terry Allen, who averaged four wins a season and never made a bowl game. wide-open, five-yard curl on third-and-four with 2:37 left. Kansas punted, Utah scored and Kansas got the ball back and went four- and-out. On Saturday, the Jayhawks faced the same situation as 1996. They made all the same mistakes they'd made before, which should have lost them the game and a chance to make the biggest statement KU football had made in 12 years. First there were the three interceptions, along with a few more dangerous passes, by sophomore quarterback Todd Reedling. He looked relaxed and eventually settled down, but he didn't play well in the first quarter. He continually threw into coverage, but luckily he rarely paid the price. Coming away from an awful first 15 minutes down only 7-0 was a huge victory for the offense's confidence. It has the defense to thank for keeping Kansas State in check. Then there were two intimately defensive penalties: a questionable roughing the kicker Then there was the fourth-and-one from inside the 20-yard line that Kansas didn't convert, which left Kansas State within four points, 21-17. It seemed like a good decision to go for the touchdown and Kansas State's threat, but the play call was horrendous. On third-and-one, why run an option to sophomore running back Jake Sharp when the defense expects a run? Senior running back Brandon McAnderson bumped and bruised through defenders all day for 81 rushing yards on only 12 carries, while Sharp got most of his yards on misdirection and draw plays. A handoff to McAnderson or a Reasing bootleg would have had a better chance to succeed. call that kept a KSU drive alive, and a 12-men-in-the硬盘 penalty that moved a third-and-six to an easily convertible third-and-inches in the KSU red zone. The results were a field goal and a touchdown for Kansas State. Then there were the seven dropped passes, including a bare touchdown by senior tight end Derek Fine that would have put the game away for good, and another by junior wide receiver Dexton Fields that led to a KSU interception and subsequent touchdown – not to mention sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton's slippery fingers on punt returns. And then came the worst of them all: a botched snap on an extra-point attempt that could have been the difference between overtime and a loss if Kansas State had scored a late touchdown. But what these Jayhawks have that the others didn't is that swagger, that confidence to know that no matter what, they're going to make the plays to win close games in the fourth quarter. It looked like the same old story. "This year we have more experience, and we kept our confidence at the end of the Last year, the Kansas defense would have let Kansas State take advantage of the offense's late-game mistakes. They proved it at Toledo. Last year, they wouldn't have made two crucial interceptions - one by junior defensive back Kendrick Harper and the other by Talib - that halted potential game-winning drives for Kansas State. They proved it at Nebraska and at home against Texas A&M. But as big of a turning point this win will be for the 2007 Kansas football team, the question is sustainability. In 1996, Kansas let all the program's momentum slip through its fingers with one dropped pass. These Jayhawks won't let that happen, not this year at least. With Saturday's win, Kansas picked up right where it left off in 1996 — ranked No. 20 in the AP poll. Not this year, Kansas will hold onto its late leads. This year, 6-6 turns into 10-2. This year, we party like it's 1995. Last year, the Jayhawks wouldn't have come back and scored the game-winning touchdown after Kansas State took back the lead. They proved it at Baylor. game' junior cornerback Aqib Talbis. He's right. "It's one of those games that proves to everybody in college football that KU is one of those teams to beat," Talib said. "It was a statement game." He's right again. 1 Kansas is now officially a dangerous program, one that's on the rise in college football and looking to climb higher. The nation should take notice. 1 ropinett Is Sports Editor for The Kansan. Edited by Matt Erickson Kansas enters AP Top 25 Kansas received votes in the AP Poll in each of the last three weeks but did not receive much national attention because of the perceived weakness of the team's non-conference schedule. The convincing showing Saturday afternoon in a hostile environment against a quality Kansas State squad earned Kansas some respect and a spot among the nation's best teams. Other Big 12 Conference teams in the AP Top 25 include No. 6 Oklahoma, No. 11 Missouri and No. 23 Texas. After spending longer than a decade on the outside looking in, Kansas entered the Associated Press Top 25 this week, earning the No. 20 spot. Kansas garnered 336 points from a panel of writers on the heels of Saturday's impressive road victory against then-No. 24 Kansas State. The inclusion in the Top 25 marks the first time Kansas coach Mark Mangino has entered the poll as a head coach.

Kansas City lost 17-7, but scored a touchdown on the final play of the game to avoid its first home shutout since 1994. Runnin' from the Law NFL Chiefs shut down by Jags 17-7 in third loss of season KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Controlling the line of scrimmage and stopping everybody wearing a Kansas City uniform except tight end Tony Gonzalez, the Jaguars held the Chiefs to a shocking 10 yards rushing Sunday en route to a dominating 17-7 victory that had Arrowhead Stadium rocking with boots. The 10 yards rushing were the second fewest in the history of a franchise whose roots go back to the inaugural season of the AFL in 1960. Two-time Pro Bowler Larry Johnson had only 12 yards on nine carries, 126 fewer than he rolled up on this same field last Dec. 31 in Kansas City's 35-30 victory over these Jaguars. "You can't ask for anything more," said cornerback Rashean Mathis. "Our key coming in was to stop (Johnson) because he's a great back. We knew if we stopped him, they'd have a long day." Maurice Jones-Drew sped 52 yards for one touchdown and David Garrard hit Dennis Northcutt for 40 yards to set up another as the Jaguars (3-1) won their third in a row and dropped the Chiefs to 2-3.

Stanford's victory at USC will be remembered as not only a stunning moment in the course of the 2007 season, but as one of the biggest upsets in the history of college football.

Sharp rushed for 77 yards in the game BY CASE KEEFER ckeeefer@kansan.com Anna Faltermeyer/KANSAN The 2007 Sunflower Showdow started simply as the 105th meeting between Kansas and Kansas State. But the 30-24 Kansas win quickly turned into a competition between each team's sophomore quarterback. Although Wildcat quarterback Josh Freeman went 16-for-21 for 189 yards in the first half and looked superior to Jayhawk quarterback Todd Reesing, it didn't last. Reesing in the second half while Freeman found it tough to maintain the pace of his first half. "I think a couple of times, we forced the ball into places we didn't need to," Kansas State coach Ron Prince said. "We didn't perform well today." But forcing the ball was no problem in the first quarter. On his fourth passing attempt, Freeman gently floated the ball into the hands of senior wide receiver Jordy Nelson who ran for a 64-yard touchdown. Freeman never completed a pass for more than 15 yards for the rest of the game. He said it was because of adjustments in the Kansas defensive ALEXANDRA FENNELLE Reesing backfield, but Prince had a different idea. "We were able to take advantage of that match-up point, but we could never find it again; part of it was the coverage, they were more mindful of that match-up," Prince said. "But ultimately, the protection wasn't good enough." Wildcat tackles Alesana Alesana and Penisini Liu were often nothing more than observers as Jayhawk defensive linemen sped into the KSU backfield. In the first half, Freeman dealt with the unwarranted pressure exceptionally well. On Kansas State's second scoring drive, the 6-foot-6, 250-pound quarterback refused to be taken down on a second-down play. A sack would have brought up a third-and-long situation but, instead, Freeman fired a 14-yard pass to running back James Johnson for a first down. The Jayhawk pass rush was more than an irritation Freeman could thwart off as the game went on. With a minute and a half remain- exactly where he wanted to put the ball. That's what good quarterbacks do." Freeman received one last chance to become victorious with just more than two minutes remaining. But on a fourth down play from the 49 yard line, he threw a pass that Jayhawk junior cornerback Aqib Talib stepped intercepted. ing in the first half, Kansas defensive tackle Caleb Blakesley penetrated the backfield and tipped Freeman's pass into the hands of Kansas defensive end Russell Brorsen. It was the first of three Freeman interceptions. "They got some pressure, we didn't have time for the whole play to develop." Freeman said. "I had to get rid of it."

Rivera had five tackles View from press row It was over when... Aqib Talib intercepted a Josh Freeman pass with 1:12 remaining in the game. After struggling to contain the Wildcats' star receiver Jordy Nelson for much of the game, Talib redeemed himself by picking off Freeman's pass. Kansas State, trailing by six points and standing just 49 yards from the end zone, had a chance to win until Talib's takeaway. Game to remember... Jordy Nelson. The Kansas State wide receiver entered the game with his name plastered all over the Big 12 Conference receiving leaderboards, and left the game in similar fashion. The senior gained 137 receiving yards on 10 catches and scored a phenomenal 68-yard touchdown while matched up one-on-one against All-Big 12 cornerback Talib. Nelson, a former walkon, has caught 10 or more passes in three consecutive games. Game to forget... Raimond Pendleton. Kansas' sophomore punt returner, did not impress on Saturday. Pendleton did not officially record a return, but played several punts and came dangerously close to turning the ball over deep in Kansas territory. By the second half, freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe had taken over as the Jayhawks' punt returner. See Kansan.com for more photos from the game Football notes Stat of the game... 2.5. Kansas State averaged just 2.5 yards per rushing attempt against a relentless Kansas defense. Junior linebackers Joe Mortensen and Mike Rivera displayed their willingness to play with reckless abandon, combining for 16 tackles, and senior defensive tackle James McClinton dominated the line of scrimmage in every way imaginable. The Wildcat offensive linemen stood no chance against McClinton, who recorded six tackles and two tackles-for-loss. Asher Fusco MAKING HISTORY Kansas made history in a few ways on Saturday. — The Jayhawks' five-game winning streak is their longest since they won seven straight in 1995. — Kansas had not won its Big 12 Conference season-opener since 2003. - Saturday marked Kansas' first win in Manhattan since 1989 - a span that included eight games and three Jawhawk head coaches. — Coach Mark Mangino's road record still doesn't look good (5-21, 3-18 Big 12), but it's better than it would have been with another loss. — Kansas had not defeated a team ranked in the Top 25 on the road since 1995. — The Jayhawks' 30-point performance was the team's lowest score this season but the most the Wildcats had allowed since Dec. 28, 2006 against Rutgers. IN-STATE PLAYERS IN-STATE PLAYERS Fittingly, Kansas-born players made impacts for both teams. Kar A. R. McAnderson sas' in-state contributions came mainly from the backfield: Lawrence native Brandon McAnderson rushed for 81 yards on 12 carries and Salina-bred Jake Sharp gained 77 rushing yards and a touchdown. Kansas State, which sets its sights closer to home on the recruiting trail, enjoyed contributions from quite a few local products. Jordy Nelson, of Riley, caught 10 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown, Cimarron native lan Campbell made three tackles for loss and one sack and Wichita-born John Houlik made five tackles. RETURN FROM INJURY Kendrick Harper enjoyed quite a debut. The junior cornerback did not play in the first four games of the season after suffering an arm injury in the preseason, but he made a crucial interception in his first game as a Jayhawk. The junior college transfer played sparingly across from fellow junior Aqib Talib at cornerback to give freshman Chris Harris some rest. With 5:03 remaining in the fourth quarter, Harper came through with an interception that killed Kansas State's momentum and led to a Kansas field goal. Harper, who still wears a large cast on his injured arm, said the cast did not interfere with his playmaking ability. The game got off to a noisy start: Saturday was "Harley Day" at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Minutes before kickoff, hundreds of bikers drove their Harley-Davidson motorcycles around the perimeter of the field. It marked the ninth year Kansas State had celebrated Harley Day. MOTORCYCLE CLUB DEPTH CHART VERSATILITY Kansas did not shift its starting lineup at all during the off week, but made some subtle changes to the roster. Sophomore running back Angus Quigley suited up for the first time this season but did not see any playing time. After sitting out all of last season with a leg injury, Quigley rocketed up the depth chart in the preseason only to fall out of the rotation in the first few weeks of the season. Sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb did not dress for the second consecutive game. Webb started nine games last season and played a significant role on special teams and defense in the first three games this season before missing the last two games for undisclosed reasons. Sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier continued to add to his resume Saturday afternoon. Meier lined up as a wide receiver on two of the Jayhawks' drives and caught one pass for 16 yards. In the first quarter, Meier lined up as a running back, shifted to quarterback before the snap and finished the play as the punter by booting the ball 35 yards. On the season, Meier has thrown 13 passes, rushed eight times, caught three passes and punted once. Wildcat fans turned out in droves to take in the Sunflower Showdown. The announced attendance of 50,924 was the largest at Bill Snyder Family Stadium so far this season and the 15th largest crowd in the history of the venue. The stadium's official capacity is listed at 50,000, but fans packed the stands - including temporary seating areas - to the gills. ATTENDENCE Dropped passes continued to plague the Jayhawk receivers. After struggling to hold onto the ball in the previous two games, Kansas receivers dropped seven catchable passes against Kansas State. Freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe was the most frequent culprit, botching three would-be receptions. Junior wide receiver Dexton Fields and senior tight end Derek Fine also had difficulty with passes on several occasions. But the news was not all bad for the receiving corps: Briscoe and Fields each caught a crucial touchdown pass and Fine recorded four receptions. DROPPING THE BALL The 2007 match-up was the 105th installment of the Sunflower Showdown, making the series the 13th-most played rivalry in NCAA football.

It's easy to get carried away with this term in sports. But every now and then, you see it personified. In recent years, Kansas soccer has had a certain air about it. Regardless of the opponent, coach Mark Francis teams would take the pitch knowing they could compete with their opponent. This season, Kansas looked poised to give the country a taste of that swagger. After an 0-5-1 start, though, the swagger abandoned the Jawhayes. Friday night at Drake Stadium the Jayhawks got their swagger back, claiming a 2-1 victory against the Bulldogs. From the onset, the match was like a Batman comic book. Bang! The Jayhawks nailed a shot off the post in the opening minutes. This was the first of many threatening strikes Kansas sent toward the Drake goal Friday night. Pow! Freshman forward Rachel Morris tucked a shot into the top left corner of the net from short range. The goal, Morris' second on the season, gave Kansas its first lead in regulation since Sept. 18. Wham! Minutes later, sophomore forward Monica Dolca snuck her first goal of the season inside the left post from 10 yards out. Suddenly Kansas had its first multi-goal lead of the year and showed no signs of letting up. "Offensively, we're starting to figure some things out," Francis said. "We're committing more people to the attack, getting more people in the box, and our final ball into the box – especially from wide – is a lot better." Drake added a goal from long-distance in the second half, but Kansas never looked vulnerable to surrendering the lead. The victory put Kansas at 2-8-2. After another victory against Texas Tech on Sunday the Jayhawks sit at 3-8-2 for the season. While that record won't garner national attention, it's more a testament to the obstacles the Jayhawks have faced early this season than it is a reflection of what their record will be by season's end. Kansas received a staggering blow when junior defender Jenny Murtaugh went down for the season with a knee injury in the home opener. With Murtaugh out of the lineup, Kansas' defense took some time to recover, giving up multiple goals in five matches. By the end of the month, the Jayawaks' confidence was wavering. Kansas played five ranked opponents and lost to each one. "When you lose those close games like that, it starts to catch up with you eventually and you start to wonder if it's ever going to come around," Francis said. Tremendous overall play from senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn was getting lost in the mix. Quinn stepped in this season for injured junior goalkeeper Julie Hanley, who posted a 0.98 goals against average and 3.32 saves per game last season. While Quinn had a 1.8 goals against average after Friday night, she also saved an average of 4.25 shots per game. If not for uncharacteristic second periods against Hawaii and Texas A&M, Quinn would have had a 1.26 goals against average. But Kansas' offense and defense played harmoniously Friday. The KU back line was virtually impenetrable, keeping the Bulldogs from breathing down Quinn's neck, and as a result, the Kansas offense dissected the Drake defense. With a goal in consecutive weeks, Morris appears to be a legitimate scoring threat. If she is, she's sure to attract attention from Kansas' go-to forward, Dolinsky. And the more early goals this tandem can score, the easier life will be for Quinn and her defenders from here on out. Obviously, the lajhawks aren't out of the woods, yet. They'll have to have a nearly flawless Big 12 showing to salvage any postseason hopes. But now that they've got their swagger back, the postseason is at least a possibility. A little swagger can go a long way. Edited by Ashlee Kieler >> SOCCER Jayhawks defeat Drake Texas Tech on road BY ALISON CUMBOW cumbow@kansan.com A COMEBACKWEEKEND RESULTS IN TRIPLE DIGIT RECORD Coach Mark Francis and the Jayhawks added two victories to their record after a successful weekend on the road. The Jayhawks had a 2-0 victory against Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa and a 4-1 victory against Texas Tech in College Station, Texas. Sunday's victory against Texas Tech was the 100th victory for Francis, making him the fifth coach to win 100 games at a Big 12 school. GOAL BY GOAL "The four goals that we scored were very good goals," Francis said. The Jayhawks dominated the match against Texas Tech from the start. Senior midfielder Nicole Cauzillo scored her third goal of the season in the first half. Sophomore forward Kim Boyer scored the second and third goals, which marked her second and third goals of the season. One of her goals found the net after she successfully headed it into the corner. Freshman forward Kaitlyn Cunningham scored the game's final goal in the last 10 minutes, marking the first of her college career. "The team finished very good opportunities. We're starting to get into a more offensive rhythm, and that's a great thing." Francis said. WHAT'S NEXT? "it's been a long time since we've been at home." Francis said. Francis said the team was looking forward to coming back this weekend. Kansas will host Oklahoma State Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex at 4 p.m. "Obviously very sad news, and our thoughts and prayers are with the individual's family," said highlights Shots by period 1st 2nd Total Kansas 6 5 11 Texas Tech 7 18 25 Chad Schieber of Midland, Mich., 35, collapsed while running on the South Side and was pronounced dead shortly before 1 p.m. at a Veteran's Affairs hospital, the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Harsh temperatures, humidity end event early CHICAGO — In a race run in scorring heat that left one man dead, Kenya's Patrick Ivuti won the Chicago Marathon by a fraction of a second Sunday. At least 49 runners were taken to hospitals and another 250 were treated at the site. The 88-degree heat and sweltering humidity were so draining that organizers shut down the second half of the course four hours after the start. There was another running death Sunday in Arlington, Va. An unidentified runner from Virginia died during the Army Ten-Miler, collapsing near the finish at the Pentagon. The race started in 70-degree heat and high humidity. These were record temperatures for the Chicago Marathon, topping the mark of 84 degrees in 1979. Runners were diverted to the starting area, where they were provided with medical attention and cooling misters. Shortages of water and energy drinks were reported along the 26.2-mile route. George Chiampas, the race's medical director, said witnesses reported seeing Schieber collapse and become unresponsive. "It sounds like he lost his pulse very fast and died on the race course," Chiampas said. Shawn Platt, senior vice president of title sponsor LaSalle Bank. Race director Carey Pinkowski said organizations were concerned that emergency medical personnel wouldn't be able to keep up with heat-related injuries. SOFTBALL Hawks dominate Classic Softball finished fall schedule Sunday by going 4-0 BRITT BEASLEY bbeasley@kansan.com 8 Caddys 9 The University of Kansas softball team concluded its fall schedule this past weekend playing in the jayhawk Classic. Jon Goering/KANSAN In the first game the Jayhawks played against Johnson County Community College and tore the game wide open in the top of the first with seven runs. The remainder of the game belonged to freshman pitcher Allie Clark. Clark seven innings allowing two runs on five hits. She also stuck out two and walked one. Stevie Crisosto, junior shortstop, makes a catch in front of Liz Golan, freshman outfielder, Sunday afternoon in a game against UMKC at Arocha Ballpark. Kansas hosted the Fall Invitational this weekend. In the second game the Jayhawks played Central Missouri State University. Junior pitcher Val George pitched seven innings allowing no runs off of three hits. She struck out 10 batters and walked one. The Jayhawks big inning was in the fifth with a single from junior infielder Val Chapple, which was the Jayhawks first hit of the game. From there the wheels fell off for CMSU. The Jayhawks scored four runs in the fifth and then added three more in the sixth off of a three-run home run by junior Stevie Crisosto. The third game pitted the Jayhawks against University of Missouri Kansas City. George allowed three hits, struck out nine and allowed two runs over six innings before being relieved in the seventh by Clark. Crisosto added another big game with a two-run home run in the bottom of the third inning. Kansas played CMSU for the second time after defeating UMKC on Sunday. The Jayhawks won 6-2 to complete the weekend at 4-0. — Edited by Ashlee Kieler 28 Jon Goering/KANSAN The Kansas Jayhawks concluded their fall schedule Sunday in the Jayhawk Classic. The hawks faced Johnson County Community College, University of Missouri Kansas City and Central Missouri State University. NFL Chargers defeat Broncos, 41-3. in worst home loss DENVER — The San Diego Changers handed the Denver Broncos their worst home loss since 1966 by rediscovering their winning formula: hold onto the ball. And the best way to do that is by handing it to reigning MVP LaDainian Tomlinson and his trusty backup, Michael Turner, who led the Chargers to a 41-3 rout of the reeling Broncos. Tomlinson amassed 140 yards, including 73 on three receptions, and Turner added 147 yards on 10 carries, highlighted by a 74-yard touchdown trol along the Broncos' bewildered sideline in the fourth quarter. One week after committing four turnovers, the Chargers (2-3) had none in ending their three-game skid by winning consecutive games in Denver for the first time since 1967-68.

Brown had nine kills, 20 assists and 11 digs. Katie Martincich, sophomore setter, goes for a dig during the volleyball match Saturday night against Texas A&M at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Texas A&M swept Kansas 30-26, 30-25 and 30-19. Kansas' 3-0 (30-26, 30-25, 30-19) loss to a rejuvenated Texas A&M was bad, but the news that came following it was worse. Sophomore middle blocker Brittany Williams will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Williams, who missed her third match since suffering the injury, was consigned to the sideline on Saturday as an efficient and balanced Texas A&M offense dismantled a shaky Kansas defense. "Defensively, we thought we had a much better plan than we actually executed," coach Ray Bechard said. Jon Goering/KANSAN The loss drops Kansas to 9-8 and 2-5 in the Big 12, while Texas A&M improves to 13-5 and 3-5. Four Texas A&M players had more than 10 kills, while sophomore outside hitter Mary Batis led the way with 15. Texas A&M's leading hitter sophomore Sarah Ammerman added 13, and junior middle blocker Jillian Phillips and senior middle blocker Kelly Stanton had 11 and 13 kills respectively. Texas A&M's .403 hitting percentage was the highest by a Kansas opponent this season. "We did nothing to slow them down defensively. In the initial line of defense or in the back row," Bechard said. "We had people playing out of character tonight compared to what we thought we could out of them defensively." The loss spoiled a career performance from freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser. Kaiser had a match-high 16 kills, tying her career high set against Oklahoma on Sept. 15. ones going to make an error once and awhile, because she's so aggressive," Bechard said of Kaiser. "But she was definitely one of our highlights tonight." If Kaiser was the highlight, then the lowlight was the announcement that Williams would be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Williams suffered her injury in practice during the week prior to the Nebraska game on Sept. 26. Williams was on the bench on Saturday but wore a knee-brace. The New Orleans native and starting middle blocker was averaging 1.98 kills per game and 1.08 blocks per game this season. "Not only does it disrupt our rotations and the way we want to play, but just on a personal level, for anybody that has to go through that, it's almost a year recovery," Brown said. "It's too bad." Senior right side hitter/setter Emily Brown said the team was definitely down after learning the news about Williams. But Bechard said that the team couldn't use the loss of Williams as an excuse for its play against Texas &M. "You could say that initially, maybe if she had been out for a match. But now it's been three matches, and I think reality has set in that she's not going to be out there," Bechard said. "It's disappointing, but it's a part of college athletics." Kansas had one of its more efficient games offensively against Texas A&M. The Jayhawks hit .195 as a team with 45 kills against 22 errors. Brown had nine kills and 20 assists, while Martincich and freshman libero Melissa Manda added nine and six digs respectively. ups ups Paying for college has never been easier. ups - Edited by Meghan Murphy PART-TIME PACKAGE HANDLERS Earn $8.50/hour with increases of 50C after 90 days & 50C at one year Benefits (Medical/Dental/Vision/Lite & 401K) weekly paycheck · Weekends & holidays off · Paid vacations FREE transportation provided by UPS to and from work.

Most of the crimes happened in areas near campus. Jonny Jines, Overland Park senior, was one of the victims. He was sitting in his house near the 1300 block of Tennessee Street last year when a group of 10 men entered his house and damaged a TV, coffee table and other property with baseball bats. Other students reported stolen laptop computers and batteries at about the same time. Capt, Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said that usually fewer crimes occurred during fall break because not as many people are in town. He gave tips to prevent thefts and break-ins while students are gone. He said students should lock their doors and windows, keep a light on, have a friend check on their house and lock their cars when packing to leave town.

The math department now has 14 secure bins which can only be opened by a shredding company. The math department is now included in the University's existing contract with the shredding company. Currently, departments at the University can decide whether they want to do their own shredding or hire a consultant and be added to the contract. Jack Martin, deputy director of University communications, said that a University-wide contract was something the administration was "definitely exploring." The new bins have an opening at the top where material that needs shredding can be inserted. Only the shredding company can unlock them. "We are using this opportunity to educate people on the importance of disposing private documents," Martin said. "It takes a constant vigilance. Everyone, everyday has to be aware of this for it to work." Faculty in the math department have received information about document protection and the disposal policies. The department has also changed the setting on its fax machine so that an image of the document being sent will not appear on the confirmation sheet. Fax confirmation sheets were the most common documents that were leaked. "In some instances, the documents were not University-related, but were personal documents that people brought into work and then were discarded by the individuals," Martin said. "In other said. Privacy officials will also make unscheduled visits University-wide to observe how units are disposing of material. "The privacy office wants to make sure they get a good feel for the practices people are following now and where they need to be "We are using this opportunity to educate people on the importance of disposing private documents." instances, with class rosters and stuff, the documents were not properly disposed of." JACK MARTIN Deputy director University communications Martin said vice provosts, deans, directors and chairs of each unit of the University have been asked by Provost Richard Lariviere to provide updates on steps they have taken to protect the privacy of documents. Lariviere has not set a deadline for the updates, Martin improved," Martin said. Martin said all of the students and faculty members mentioned in the materials had been notified either by phone or mail. The most common information leaked was students' identification numbers. Martin said students had been given links to resources on how they protect themselves from misuse of this information, and that they could call Jane Rosenthal, KU privacy officer, if they had further questions. Martin said Rosenthal had already spoken to several students. Martin said the committee that investigated the matter did recommend an appropriate disciplinary action to be taken, but that the state law prohibited him from dis- cusing personnel or disciplinary actions further, Math department employee Gloria Prothe was implicated in a letter mailed to The University Daily Kansan for not disposing of materials correctly. She said she had not seen the final report yet, and had not been contacted by the University regarding actions that would be taken. Prothe did meet with the committee during the investigation to discuss her methods of disposing materials. Martin said the most important change would be making the campus aware that this was an everyday issue. "Part of it is having policies, but the biggest part is making sure people know and follow the policies," Martin said. The investigation was in response to packets that The Kansan, The Kansas City Star and the Lawrence Journal-World received on Sept. 18. The packets contained a cover letter explaining that the documents were found in recycling bins in the math department and dumpsters behind Snow Hall. - Edited by Rachael Gray LAWRENCE Bad news for local doughnut lovers Joe's Bakery closes, forcing KU to look elsewhere for pastries University of Kansas food services will no longer be serving doughnuts and bagels from Joe's Bakery after the bakery closed on Friday.

Masters, 41, slipped the doughnut into his sweat shirt without paying, then pushed away a clerk who tried to stop him as he fled. FARMINGTON, Mo. — It's a hefty price for a pastry: A man accused of stealing a 52-cent doughnut could face time in jail. "Strong-arm robbery? Over a doughnut? That's impossible," Masters said from jail. He admitted that he took the pastry but denied touching the employee. The push is being treated as minor assault, which transforms a misdemeanor shoplifting charge to a strong-armed robbery with a potential prison term of five to 15 years. Because he has a criminal history, prosecutors say they could seek 30 years. Farmington Police Chief Rick Baker said state law treated the shoplifting and assault as forcibly stealing property.

Last year from Oct. 7-14, the week of fall break, his house was one of four students' houses that were burglarized or damaged. Two other violent crimes occurred near campus during the same period. Students can take safety precautions to ensure they won't fall victim to the same crimes this fall break. Jines, Overland Park senior, was sitting in the family room of his house near the 1300 block of Tennessee Street with two of his roommates at about 10 p.m. on Oct. 9 when a group of men entered his home. Several people had been at the house two days earlier for a party. Jines and his roommates didn't know some of the guests. "A lot of people would walk by," Jines said, "and wed allow them to come in and drink." A group of men who Lines didn't know got in a fight with another group at the party. Lines said he and his roommates weren't involved. That didn't matter to the 10 men who entered their house wielding baseball bats Oct. 9. The men who entered his house were from the group who had been in the fight outside his house two days earlier, Jines said. The men destroyed their TV, coffee table, kitchen table and other property. One of Jines' roommates was injured. "It wasn't our fault," Jines said, "but they came to our house and retaliated. You just have to be more careful to know who you're inviting Within the same 24-hour period, a Lawrence man reported getting beaten up and robbed near the 1200 block of Louisiana Street, and two armed burglar broke into and robbed a house near the 1300 block of Tennessee Street. to your parties." Once fall break started, the crime didn't stop. KU students living on the 900 block of Missouri Street reported the theft of three laptop computers valued at $6,000 on Oct. 12. A female KU student reported that a man pushed her to the ground and touched her improperly near the 1200 block of Louisiana Street the same night. Another KU student reported the theft of a laptop and wrist watches from a house in the 900 block of Emery Road a day later. Those stolen items were valued at $1,000. Last year's spike in serious crime was abnormal. Crime usually goes down during breaks because fewer people are in town, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office. He also said that property had been stolen from empty University classrooms in previous years. Bailey gave a few easy tips to prevent theft, starting with remembering to lock doors and windows. He also recommended leaving lights on or buying a timed light, and asking a friend who would be in town to check on your house while you're gone. Finally, he said students should lock their doors while they move back and forth between their house and car as they pack. "It doesn't take a thief a long time to grab something and walk away," Bailey said. Edited by Tara Smith STARTRAPKS PLAYER BALL Many students are opting for cheaper vintage game systems over their newer, more expensive counterparts. Not only are the games and game systems cheaper, they also are a way to relieve one's childhood. 》 ENTERTAINMENT Old video games enjoy new popularity Vintage systems provide childhood nostalgia at prices cheaper than new systems Andrew Wacker/KANSAN BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com It doesn't take a time machine for students to relive their childhoods. Vintage video game systems that dominated the '80s and '90s are becoming a hot commodity among students. Game Nut Entertainment, 844 Massachusetts St., offers the older systems and games fully restored. lean Mutt, Game Nut owner, said the store carried a variety of older systems, games and accessories. "We absolutely sell a lot of the older systems and games." Mutt said. "The most popular tend to be the original Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis." 2. 000 games for all of his systems. He said he found most of them at garage sales or online. He said the games were the reason the vintage systems were becoming more popular. "I think they're popular because they're like any other retro fad and seem to come back in style several years later." Mutt said the classic video game systems were popular because the young men who were the original consumers of the systems have now grown up and may want to relive their childhoods. "Old systems are popular today for numerous reasons, the main being nostalgic value and the quality of the games," Mitchell said. "For instance, the Super Nintendo has countless games that are, to this day, unrivaled in quality of storyline, music and overall gameplay. New games tend to JAXSON PETERS Transylvania, Romania, junior Wake Mitchell, Baldwin City senior and a college enthusiast, said he had more than 20 gaming systems, including the Atari 3600, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and the original Nintendo, and more than be far less interesting as a whole than many classic games." In addition to the opportunity to relive childhood pastimes, classic video game systems also offer a much more reasonable price for a college student than newer game systems. A new Playstation 3, the latest video game console to be released, typically costs $499.99, and the cheapest price for a used PlayStation 3 on eBay as of Monday was $304.99. New PS3 games can be purchased for $50 per game. Nintendo's Web site acknowledges the popularity of its older gaming systems, but the company has stopped producing them. The Mitchell said the vintage systems' lower prices made the systems and games much more desirable for students because in most cases, they could get more for their dollar. "The price of one PS3 game could get someone 75 Super Nintendo games on a good day," Mitchell said. "You're also able to put together a collection for a lot less cash than ever possible with newer games." Mutt said older systems and games were typically cheap, but it depended on the market value of a system or game. He said he set his prices by checking with online sources such as eBay to determine a fair price for customers. Jaxson Peters, Transylvania, Romania, junior, said he had owned a Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis since they were released in the early '90s. He said the vintage systems and games were just another college trend. "I think they're popular because they're like any other retro fad and seem to come back in style several years later," Peters said.

Joe's provided doughnuts and bagels to The Underground, Pulse Café and several other locations on campus. The bakery has been a part of Kansas tradition for years and was even included as one of the stops on the Kansas version of Monopoly JENNIFER LARSON Jensen Liquor employee "The original Joe's was a staple. Anytime there is a management change, though, you can't be sure if a business will last." Hale y Waldschmidt, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, who often bought Joe's bagels at the art department, said people there were mad that bagels weren't available right now. "I wasn't aware that it was going to close," Masterson said. "It's pretty sad." Bakery at midnight. "That's what everyone would look forward to," Waldschmidt said. "The art department doesn't really have good breakfast food, so that's pretty much all we eat." Ralph Smith, the son of Joe Smith, who founded Joe's Bakery in 1952, still owns the property and the trademark to the name. He sold the business two years ago, and the current owners have been running Joe's for the past year. Smith said that the current owners would probably auction off the equipment, and he wanted to give someone the possibility of also buying the name and a lease for the property. Grant Turner, Topeka junior and Pulse staff member, said food services was now looking for a new company to provide doughnuts to the cafe. He said he had heard students asking about the doughnuts on Monday. "They had a great tradition, serving a quality product," Turner said. "My mom used to get Joe's Doughs." "I too would like to see it stay there," Smith said. "We just need Jennifer Larson, an employee of Jensen Liquor, which was next door to Joe's Bakery, said that she didn't think that the current bakery was as good as it was before it changed owners. Haley Masterson, Manhattan, Kan., sophomore, said she participated in Joe's Run during Hawk Week. For the run, hundreds of students from the scholarship halls and residence halls went to Joe's Joe's Bakery is owned by Don and Rebecca Hall. The Halls could not be reached for comment. to find someone with the talent to make it grow" Smith said he had no intention of going back to the business, but that maybe in 10 or 15 years his children would want to use it.

WWW.KANSAN.COM TUESDAY,OCTOBER 9,2007 PAGE 5A BITS.O'WISDOM Constitution Day deserves more recognition It celebrates the most important document in American history, yet no one knows about it BEN COHEN quick, when is National Talk Like a Pirate Day? 19 GOING ON 40 Sept. 19, of course. The Underground gave people discounts that day if they threw in an "avast" or "yar" while paying for their food. How about Halloween? Oct. 31, the day we used to put on cheap costumes and not only received candy from strangers, but in fact demanded it. Now how about this one: Constitution Day. I admit, I didn't know before this year that it was Sept. 17, let alone that it even existed. Of all the things we celebrate, the document that basically lays out everything that distinguishes America from the rest of the world should be at or around the top of the list. So why, if it has its own federal holiday, do so few people know about it? The Dole Center did a decent job of publicizing various Constitution Day-related events this year, which helped a bit, but that was all. No "Happy Constitution Day" cards, no massive clearance sales down at the nearest strip mall, nothing like that. Let's look at the Constitution for a moment, shall we? It's an old, but still popular, document essentially saying the government either can't do something to people, or must do something. The First Amendment grants a number of things that we sometimes take for granted. Freedom of speech lets us criticize our government in ways many civilizations throughout history would consider absurd, making this democracy that much more legitimate, even if it does also allow everyone from Ann Coulter to Ward Churchill to spew out verbal garbage day-in and day-out. That one amendment also gives us a free press, so that thoughtful, intelligent columnists can try to convince everyone that what they think is important on a biweekly basis. It also lets us freely exercise religion, but doesn't say which one we have to practice. Flying Spaghetti Monster enthusiasts, this one is for you. Continue perusing the document, and look what else you'll find. Need to feel more manly? The Second Amendment lets you own a gun! Got a skeleton in your closet? The Fifth Amendment makes it awfully difficult for people to make you let it out. In fact, thanks to the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, finding out that closer even exists is a real chore. The Constitution guarantees that women and minorities can vote, and that the people they vote for can't overstay their welcome. People do still argue over some aspects of the document. Should common decency take precedence over freedom of speech, for instance? Or is the Second Amendment even necessary anymore, with citizen militias basically being a thing of the past? One amendment, the 18th, which prohibited the sale and consumption of alcohol, was negated by the 21st. The fact that this happened over 70 years ago and there haven't been subsequent changes like it suggests that most of the Constitution is acceptable, but questions will probably linger for years about its fluidity, and how literally much of it can be interpreted. Now that this rejected "School House Rock" sketch is coming to a close, let's take another look at the question. What more convincing do people need to recognize a day dedicated to the thing that has shaped American society as it has developed over the last 219 years? Increased publicity? Getting the day off from work? Jerry Bruckheimer movies? Maybe tell kids that the Preamble will slide down their chinneys at night and put freedom in their stockings. Well, no matter. After all, there's almost a year to figure something out. Cohen is a Topeka junior in journalism and English. DRAWING BOARD THE WORLD RUGBY FINAL LOOKS LIKE IT'LL BE GOOD THIS YEAR. I WAS PRETTY SHOCKED WHEN FRANCE BEAT THE ALL BLACKS. WHO DO YOU THINK'LL TAKE THE CUP? ... WHAT'S RUGBY? Campus bus system in need of improvement Clustered vehicles and missed stops both contribute to an inefficient KU on Wheels MAX RINKEL FRANCESCA CHAMBERS Despite the University's effort to fix last school year's inadequate bus system by merging it with the Parking and Transit department, the system is still flawed. I know that there were several students and faculty who devoted their summer to trying to perfect the system by changing the company that they contract the buses through, and I am not trying to take anything away from that achievement. The University needed more control of the bus system, and it's nice to see that a new bus, one that goes behind the Union, in front of Spencer Art Museum, and to the Student Recreation and Fitness Center was added to the system. But it was the means of improving the bus system, not the end. One of the major problems students had with the bus system last year was the buses got so off-schedule that they clumped together and all going the same direction at the same time. This was perceived as a problem of not enough buses, and that if we had more buses then we would have enough to go both directions. This year, KU on Wheels has blamed accidents and route changes caused by the longer buses for the scheduling problems. But those problems are clearly not the sole cause of the bus clusters, considering the problem was occurring last year before the University bought the new buses and it is still occurring. And adding more buses to the already crowded system does not make sense and would be a bad financial decision. Spacing out the buses the University already has would solve problem. It's understandable that a bus driver will drive by a stop if there is no one there; riders appreciate this—we are trying to make it to class on time. But it is because of that the buses get off schedule and end up in a cluster, and very few drivers make the effort to move away from the pack of other buses. Those bus drivers who are cognizant of the schedule usually park for a few minutes to try to get back on schedule, and put some space between themselves and the other buses. However, they rarely remember to mention to incoming or current riders where they are going to park, making students late for class. Because the buses are mobile, the only reasonable solution is to train bus drivers how and when to separate themselves, where to park and the proper way to notify students of their decision. When there is more than one bus going to the same location on campus within one minute of each other when there is not a crowd of students waiting, drivers should be allowed to use their judgment and park to space themselves out. Students' other main concern last year was that there were not enough buses going to places besides McCollum and GSP; more students live off-campus than at those dorms. KU on Wheels has tried to fix this problem by sending buses that usually stay on campus to other locations during peak times of day. But the problem is that apartment complexes like The Reserve house just as many students as the dormitories. However the dorms have more buses going back and forth to them no matter what time of day it is. The large apartment complexes and other large off-campus bus stops need to either be given just as much priority as the dorms, considering those students paid just as much for their bus pass as those at the dorms did, or KU on Wheels should negotiate with apartment complexes to have more private buses like the Legends bus. These bus issues may seem petty compared to other issues like Darfur, but students spend $140 on a year-round bus pass just so they can ride a bus a couple blocks twice a day. They deserve service at the same level. It's October and midterms are on the horizon. And if I had to grade the new bus system at that time, I would give it a C+.

Smith 1 6A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2007 SCIENCE Stressful marriages can hurt your heart CHICAGO — A lousy marriage might literally make you sick. Marital strife and other bad personal relationships can raise your risk for heart disease, researchers reported Monday. What it likely boils down to is stress — a well-known contributor to health problems, as well as a potential byproduct of troubled relationships, the scientists said. In a study of 9,011 British civil servants, most of them married, those with the worst close relationships were 34 percent more likely to have heart attacks or other heart trouble during 12 years of follow-up than those with good relationships. That included partners, close relatives and friends. The study, in Monday's Archives of Internal Medicine, follows previous research that has linked health problems with being single and having few close relationships. In the new study, researchers focused more on the quality of marriage and other important relationships. "What we add here is that, 'OK, being married is in general good, but be careful about the kind of person you have married.' The quality of the relationship matters," said lead author Roberto De Vogli, a researcher with University College in London. De Vogli said his research team is doing tests to see if study par- "OK, being married is in general good, but be careful about the kind of person you have married." ROBERTO DE VOGLI Researcher ticiptants with bad relationships have any biological evidence of stress that could contribute to heart disease. That includes inflammation and elevated levels of stress hormones. Another recent study also looked at quality of relationships but had different results. There was no association between marital woes in general and risks for heart disease or early death. But it did find, during a 10-year follow-up, that women who kept silent during marital arguments had an increased risk of dying compared with wives who expressed their feelings during fights. What appeared to matter more for men was just being married; married men were less likely to die during the follow-up than single men. That study, of nearly 4,000 men and women, was published online in July in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. In De Vogli's study, men and women with bad relationships faced equal risks. Volunteers filled out questionnaires asking them to rate the person to whom they felt closest on several measures. These included questions about to what extent does that person "give you worries, problems and stress?" They also were asked about whether they felt they could confide in that person, or whether talking with that person made them feel worse. Over the following 12 years, 589 participants had heart attacks or other heart problems. Those with the highest negative scores on the questionnaire had the highest risks, even taking into account other factors related to heart disease such as obesity, high blood pressure and smoking. James Coyne, a University of Pennsylvania psychology professor who also has examined the health impact of social relationships, said De Vogil's results "make intuitive sense." But he said the study found only a weak association that doesn't prove bad relationships can cause heart disease. "It is still not clear what to recommend," Coyne said. Sprint Nextel CEO Forsee resigns BUSINESS ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Sprint Nextel Corp. Chairman and Chief Executive Gary Forsee resigned Monday as the board expressed disappointment with the financial results of the nation's third-largest wireless carrier. Sprint also lowered its financial forecast for the current quarter. "It is the right time to put in place new leadership to move the company forward in improving its performance and realizing corporate objectives," board member Irvine Hockaday said in a company statement. The board said it was searching for a replacement for Forsee, who was also president. In the meantime, Director James Hance Jr. will be acting nonexecutive chairman, and Chief Financial Officer Paul Saleh will serve as acting CEO. MONTES Sprint Nextel Corp., the nation's third-largest wireless provider, said Monday that Gary Forshe, its chairman, and CEO, was stepping down, effective immediately. Sprint Nextel also said it expected to report a net loss of approximately 373,000 monthly subscribers in the third quarter. Also Monday. Sprint Nextel said ASSOCIATED PRESS Also Month it expected to report a net loss of approximately 337,000 monthly subscribers in the third quarter. Its operating income, excluding some items, is expected to fall below the previously forecast range $11 billion or 2.7 percent. In extended trading, after the announcement of Forsee's departure, the shares gained 45 cents. The resignation confirms newspaper articles, citing anonymous sources, that said Forsee's departure was imminent. USA Today reported in Monday's edition that Sprint's board, spurred by disappointing second-quarter earnings, had decided to speed up efforts to replace Forsee after its work to find a replacement was made public last week by The Wall Street Journal. Forsee took over the nation's third-largest wireless provider in 2003 and was a driving force behind the acquisition of Nextel Communications Inc. in August 2005. However, the company has struggled after the merger, and its stock price has dropped 27 percent. Amid technical prob- "It is the right time to put in place new leadership to move the company forward in improving its performance." to $11.5 billion. Revenue is expected to fall below the earlier forecast of $41 billion to $42 billion. Sprint Nextel shares closed Monday at $18.50, down 51 cents IRVINE HOCKADAY Sprint Nextel Corp. board member lems and a sometimes unfocused mark eting strategy, Sprint Nextel has steadily lost ground to competitors AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless in attracting and retaining customers. Nextel's phones, known for their "push-to-talk" feature, aren't directly compatible with Sprint's network. Most recently, Forsee has hung the company's future on the development of WiMax, a fourth-generation mobile data network the company claims will provide wireless download speeds comparable to DSL or cable modems. It aims to connect not only cell phones but computers, video cameras and other gadgets. Wide-scale commercial application is still years away. The Wall Street Journal said company directors began looking for Forsee's replacement in August, about the time Sprint Nextel announced smaller second-quarter profits and that it would continue to struggle in the second half of the year. Sprint Nextel is formally based in Reston, Va., Nextel's old base, but maintains operational headquarters in Overland Park, Sprint Corp.'s hometown. Acting CEO Saleh, 50, comes from the Nextel side, where he was the chief financial officer. Before that he was treasurer of The Walt Disney Co. and Honeywell International Inc. Acting chairman Hance, 63, is the former vice chairman of Bank of America Corp. He has been on the Sprint Nextel board since February 2005. Forsee joined Sprint after its top two executives were pushed out following a scandal about their use of tax shelters. Before that, he was vice chairman of BellSouth Corp. In that role, he was responsible for all of BellSouth's domestic operations and was chairman of the Cingular Wireless joint venture. 》 Before joining BellSouth, Forsepr spent 10 years with Sprint. NATION 1984 1985 ASSOCIATED PRESS Steve Fossett, left, and Barron Hilton pose at Hilton's Flying M Ranch near Yerington, Nev., in 1998. Experts said they doubted the adventurer could have survived more than a week in the rugged desert since his plane vanished after taking off from a private airstrip at the Flying M Ranch. NATION Three charged in Memphis shooting ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Three men were charged with murder on Monday in the shooting of a football player on the University of Memphis campus during an attempted robbery, authorities said. Taylor Bradford, 21, had won more than $3,000 at a nearby casino the night before police found him Sept. 30 in his car, which had crashed into a tree a few blocks from his campus apartment. Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin said the attackers intended to rob him, but didn't get what they had come for. "He was targeted because there was some information that was out there and they believed he had some cash," Godwin said. "The investigation is ongoing, and we do expect additional arrests." The Memphis men, who are not students at the university, were identified as DaeShawn Tate, 21; Victor Trezevant, 21; and Courtney Washington, 22. All three were in police custody. It was not immediately known whether they had attorneys. After the shooting, university officials told students, faculty and staff that the suspects had fled the campus, but Samford University, was buried over the weekend. In Mississippi, a man was charged Monday with capital murder in the shooting death of Rodney Lydale Lockhart, a University of Mississippi "He was targeted because there was some information that was out there and they believed he had some cash." the school canceled classes as a precaution. Bradford, a Nashville native who transferred to Memphis from LARRY GODWIN Memphis police director sprinter, police said. Christian C. Bonner, 20, is accused of killing Lockhart, 20, who was found dead Sept. 29 at his apartment near campus, Oxford Police Chief Mike Martin said. The junior psychology major was a member of the gold medal-winning U.S. 1,600-meter relay team in the 2006 World Junior Championships in Beijing. Officials stop hunt for missing aviator ASSOCIATED PRESS CARSON CITY, Nev. — With winter closing in, efforts to find aviator Steve Fossett have dwindled — along with hopes that his proven ability to cheat death enabled him to survive a plane crash in the rugged desert of northern Nevada. More than a month after he left for a short flight, no one has found any trace of him, and authorities have suspended the search, although some private efforts financed by Fossett's friends and family continue. "My gut feeling is that he didn't survive the impact. It's so unlikely," said Maj. Cynthia Ryan of the Nevada Civil Air Patrol. She said if Fossett were alive but too injured to walk, he would have tried to signal searchers in some manner. "He's not the kind of guy to just sit and wait for help to show up," Ryan added. Lyon County Sheriff Allen Veil said Fossett's disappearance remained under investigation as a missing-person case, and authorities were not prepared to presume the aviator was dead. "We will try to come to a conclusion, but we're not there yet," Veil said. Fossett, 63, had previously survived a nearly 30,000-foot plunge in a crippled balloon, a dangerous swim through the frigid English Channel and hours stranded in shark-infested seas. Fossett's friends are still looking for him, flying out of hotel mogul Barron Hilton's sprawling ranch, about 80 miles southeast of Reno. That's where Fossett and his wife had been staying on Sept. 3, when he took off alone to scout possible locations for an attempt to break a land speed record in a rocket-propelled car. The cost of the private search has not been disclosed. Fossett, who made millions as a commodities broker in Chicago, also completed the Iditarod sleddog race, scaled some of the world's best-known peaks, sailed and flew around the world, and set more than 100 aviation and distance records. "Only because of Steve's character do we hold out hope," Hilton spokesman Pat Barry said. At one point, more than 40 CAP, military and private planes and helicopters were aloft over an area that covered 20,000 square miles, and scores of searchers went on foot into deep, brushy canyons looking for Fossett.

Fists of Fury defeated SP OPT FLY 19-0. BY BRANDON SAYERS bsayers@kansan.com Fists of Fury wrapped up its perfect season last night with a 19-0 victory in the men's open flag football championship game against the SP OPT FLY team on Monday night at Lawrence Memorial Stadium. Leading the way on offense for Fists of Fury was quarterback Chad Davis, Overland Park junior. He accounted for all of the team's points. Davis threw for two touchdown passes and ran the ball for another score. Both of the Fists of Fury's defense also played a big role in the team's championship success and shut out the highly anticipated and athletic SP OPT FLY offense. townsend passes were deep toes to Cody Trinkb, Topeka junior. "We knew the guys we were playing were going to be a real good team, and they were," Davis said. "But we played just about as well as we could play, especially on defense." The loss was a tough one for the SP OPT FLY squad. The team also entered the championship game with an undefeated season. "We didn't feel like we were really clicking tonight. We didn't have good communication," said Kevin Velrt, Kismet graduate student and member of SP OPT FLY. Fists of Fury, a team primarily composed of current and past students from Battenfield Scholarship Hall, will try to carry its perfect season to next season. There is good reason to believe that it may, too. The team will lose only one player to graduation. "Basically the whole tournament we've played at a very high level so I think we just continued with that and got on the right page." Davis said. "To be able to go undefeated the whole way is pretty cool" But the biggest question from fans was why "Fists of Fury" in a sport where no fists are used? Brian Lewis, Hutchinson senior and captain of Fists of Fury, said the team was named after the popular Bruce Lee movie of the same title. "My friend was like 'I love that movie, I think it would be a kick-ass team name.' Lewis said. Missed extra points sink Barracudas - Edited by Rachael Gray BY JOE PREINER jpreiner@kansan.com Finalists for the intramural flag football corecreational championship the Thrown Slappers and the Blue Barracudas, took center stage in what proved to be a showdown for the ages Monday night in Memorial Stadium. Kim Cavaleri, Lansing sophomore and coach of the Barracudas, was The game was destined to be a battle. The Blue Barracudas came into the contest having conceded only six playoffs in each of their previous playoff games. The Thrown Slappers were no slouch in the playoffs either, beating each of their opponents by 20 points. confident in the ability of her players. "Some of our guys actually played in high school," she said. "Two of them were regional champs." The game started with the Blue Barracudas driving down the field efficiently. The team scored the contest's first points when quarterback Neal Watson, Lansing junior, completed a pass to Chris Bristow, Lansing junior. The team missed the extra point, leaving it with a 6-0 lead. The following possession by the Thrown Slappers resulted in a turnover on downs. The team would not dwell on that for long, however, because Jenna Hewitt, Silver Lake senior, picked off a Blue Barracudas pass just a few plays later. The play proved valuable, as 52 Adam MacDonald/KANSAN Matt McClanahan, Overland Park senior, runs for a touchdown in the corecultural intramural football championship Monday evening at Memorial Stadium. McClanahan's team, the Thrown Slappers, defeated the Blue Barracudas 22-21. the team notched a nine-point touchdown after Trina Lacen, Delphos junior, caught a pass in the end zone. In corecreational intramurals a touchdown caught by a female player is worth nine points. The team converted on its two point try to bring the score to 11-6. Before the whistle blew for halftime, the Blue Barracudas scored again. Watson sacrificed his body by diving headfirst into the end zone to catch a pass from Carolyn McKune, Lansing junior.

Trailing 15-11 to start the second half, the Thrown Slappers had new motivation. A quick touchdown and extra-point conversion brought the score to 22-15 in the Thrown Slappers' favor. The scoring was not over. The Blue Barracudas, with just more than five minutes left in the game, fought back. An interception that led to Bristow's second touchdown of the game helped the Blue Barracudas cause. Another missed extra point left the score at 22-12 with Thrown Slappers still leading. With just 40 seconds remaining in the game, Brad Werner, Spearville junior, intercepted the ball in the end zone, stopping the clock and giving the Blue Barracudas one last chance. The sideline was tense as the seconds counted down. The Blue Barracudas managed to work their way to midfield, but it was not enough. Time ran out and the Thrown Slappers took the title with a final score of 22-21. "What a way to end the game" Bristow said. Champion quarterback Matt Hoover, Junction City senior, was all smiles after the game. "It's a lot of fun to play at Memorial Stadium," he said. "It's even better to win."

In the beginning of the game, the small group of supporters for the Delta Upsilon Ducks chanted "Quack! Quack! Quack!" as Delta Upsilon passed the ball down the field on a fourth down to score and take the lead. Delta Upsilon played fluidly, passing the ball down the field and into the end zone.

Beeler said that although the game was wellplayed, he was anxious about how well the team would play together. Joel Higgins, a Phi Delta Theta senior and team captain, regretted the way the game started. But even among rival houses, Higgins said that the game wasn't about rivalry but more about fun. "DU played well, and we made some mistakes early in the game which gave them a big lead right off" he said. "I know a lot of guys from the other team and it's fun to get out there and play them." Although Phi Delt came back in the second half with two touchdowns and two good extra points, they couldn't take the lead. "They played better than us.

"Nothing usually affects my sleep," he said. "I just had a lot of stuff on my mind." Reed, a freshman guard, shouldn't have been uptight. He impressed several other players with his speed and endurance during boot camp. Both skills were on display Thursday Both skills were on morning. The Jayhawks had to do 22s, a timeed drill that involves running down and back for the full length of the court twice. Because the players didn't run some of the drills fast enough, they had to run 30 of them. M. B. JAYALAN "Tyrell killed it this morning," freshman center Cole Aldrich said last Thursday. "He is a freak. It's crazy going through 29 of them, and you think he'd just coast because it's the last. He showed us that he is one of the best athletes on the team." Reed "By the fourth day," Reed said, "you kind of know how to mentally prepare yourself and know you're going to get it done. I feel like I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. I felt good when I ran." The extra sprints didn't bother Reed. He finished the 30th run in 17 seconds, slightly ahead of senior guards Russell Robinson and leermv Case. None of that running prepared him for boot camp though. Reed said he woke up sore every morning for the first few days. But once he knew what to expect, it got easier. Reed's running ability shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering his high school athletic background. At Burlington High School, Reed won state in the long jump and finished second in the 400-meter run. And if Reed shows that same energy during games, don't expect him to sit on the bench too long. "It's going to help me on the basketball court this coming year," Reed said, "because the more endurance you have the longer you're going to be out there. The coach can really count on you to be 100 percent out there, and if you're not going to be 100 percent on defense, why be out there?" Edited by Rachael Gray basketball notes JUNIOR-COLLEGE PROSPECT COMMITS Mario Little, a 6'5" forward from Chipola Community College in Marianna, Fla., verbally committed to play for Kansas. Little told Kansas coach Bill Self of his intentions Saturday night. He averaged 10 points and six rebounds per game for Chipola last season as a freshman. Little, who is originally from Chicago, also made visits to Kansas State and Illinois before deciding on Kansas. BRANDON RUSH UPDATE Junior guard Brandon Rush said his knee was about 70 percent, but he still didn't give a timetable for his return. Rush competed in all the drills during boot camp except for those that involved physical contact. He said he could do everything except turn and plant on his knee PETER SMITH Mark Dent I had to slow it down a little bit." Rush said, "but I still made good times. I thought it was pretty easy. He took it kind of easy on us this year." Rush said he would suit up for Late Night but probably would only do lay-up drills. Rush RIP HIS HEAD OFF, BUT DON'T YELL ABOUT IT WK BA Sarah Leonard/KANSAN The KK student section has notten used to screaming obscenities at the onnosing team's kick returner "It detracts from what is otherwise a terrific student section" Associate Athletics Director Lim Marchionuo said. Vulgar kickoff chant draws criticism Marchiony calls line 'embarrassing,' says families should not have to hear foul language BYTHOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com "Rip his f--king head off!" The line yelled by Rob Schneider's obnoxious character in the 1998 movie "The Waterboy" and now repeated by a portion of the Kansas student section during kickoffs has elicited complaints from fans to the Athletics Department. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said families in the stands and others who might object should not be subjected to the language. "We would hope that the student body could be more creative than that," Marchiony said. "That sentence takes no intelligence and no creativity to yell. It's embarrassing to students themselves and to the University." Ryan McNabb, Liberal senior, said the chant began a few years ago. "Once you think about it, it's pretty distasteful," McNabb said. "I don't think it's a big deal, but then again, I'm not around my 6-year-old son at the game. I could see how others might find it offensive." Although popularity is hard to quantify, use of the chant has been increasing since 2003. Marchiony said he wasn't aware of the chant's existence before this season. A more adamant student section could be attributed to sheer numbers — Kansas set a nonconference attendance record this year, averaging about 45,200 fans a game. McNabb said he agreed that students should think about what they were saying before yelling it, but that he took part in the chanting, so he couldn't judge the practice. when kids start yelling 'scoreboard' when we are up by three points, or doing the Rock Chalk chant when there is seven minutes left" "I don't know if the players can hear it, but if I heard 10,000 kids yell 'Rip his f--king head off'; I would get pretty pumped up," McNabb said. "I think it is more stupid Marchiony said he thought alcohol might play a role but that was just a "convenient excuse." He said mob mentality was a factor. "We would like to see the intelligence and class of the students used to come up with something else," Marchiony said. "It detracts from what is otherwise a terrific student section." Edited by Tara Smith FOOTBALL Respect granted, world takes notice BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com On Saturday afternoon, Todd Reesing looked a bit confused. But it wasn't the Kansas State defense that dumbfounded Kansas' sophomore quarterback. It was the frenzied mass of media that caught Reesing off-guard. Just a few minutes after leading the Jayhawks to a 30-24 victory against the Wildcats, a shoeless Reeing emerged from the visitors' locker room still clad in his shoulder pads. He had taken a wrong turn along one of the hallways of Bill Snyder Family Stadium and stood in front of a tidal wave of camera-hauling, recorder-bearing journalists. The gregarious star quickly greeted the media and scooted back to the safety of the locker room. After winning its first five games and leaping to No. 20 in the AP and USA Today Coaches' polls, Kansas may have to get used to the attention: The Jayhawk bandwagon is filling up fast, starting with the team's peers in the Big 12 Conference and some major media outlets. "They're playing really well right now," Kansas State wide receiver Jordy Nelson said. "They're solid all around the board — special teams, offense and defense." Kansas State coach Ron Prince said the Jayhawks were terrific and praised Kansas' offensive balance. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Kansas was taking the right steps as a program and had made significant progress since Maninojo's arrival. On ESPN's "College Gameday final", analyst and former Notre Dame coach Kansas in the polls Associated Press — No. 20 USA Today Coaches' — No. 20 Sagarin Computer Rankings — No. 13 Collegefootballnews.com — No. 15 Lou Holtz gave junior cornerback Aqib Talib a "helmet sticker" for his five tackles, one interception and one touchdown performance Saturday. Last Sunday, columns focused on Kansas football's success appeared in the Kansas City Star and the Wichita Eagle. Collegefootballnews.com placed the team at 15th in its weekly power rankings. Despite all of the hubbub surrounding the program, Kansas players and coaches conveyed the same quiet confidence they did before the victory at Kansas State. "This just proves that we can play on the road," Reesing said. "And it proves to anybody who was doubting us that we are for real and that we are a good team." Since the beginning of the season, Mangino has trumpeted the mental edge and overall talent level of his team, and players have repeatedly voiced their confidence in the coaching staff. Five games into the season, analysts and coaches from coast to coast are beginning to get the Jayhawks' message, which Mangino hasn't altered since the start of September. "We're 5-0, but we're not standing on our heads or doing cartwheels," Mangino said. "We know we have a lot of work ahead of us." Edited by Jeff Briscoe 86 Anna Faltermieer/KANSAN Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing picks up junior cornerback Agib Talib to celebrate Kansas' 30-24 victory at Kansas State in Manhattan on Saturday. "It proves to anybody who was doubting us that we are for real and that we are a good team," Reesing said. football notes OU COACH STOOPS IMPRESSED After a 5-0 start, plenty of people are taking notice of a Kansas football — including Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. Stoops, whom Mangino worked under from 1999 to 2001, said he was impressed with Kansas progress this season. During a conference call Monday, Stoops said he was not surprised by the Jayhawks' quick start because of Mangino's coaching smarts. CREDIT GOES TO O-LINE Mayes Mangino said he was pleased with most aspects of his team last Saturday, and he repeatedly credited the offensive line for its performance. Junior left guard Adrian Mays, a Manhattan, A. M. Kan, native, enjoyed a particularly strong game against Kansas State, Mangino said. Running behind Mayes and the rest of the offensive line, Kansas totaled 170 yards on 39 rushes. The entire offense has been superb in 2007, ranking fourth in the nation in points game and fifth in yards per game. CONSISTENT QUARTERBACK Todd Reesing's 267-yard passing performance marked his fifth consecutive game of throwing for 200-plus yards, which is the second most in Kansas history. If Reesing manages more than 200 yards against Baylor this weekend, he will tie Mike Norseth's record of six consecutive games, set in 1984-85. So far this season, Reesing is averaging 293 passing yards per game and is ranked 12th in the nation with a passing efficiency rating of 160.22. 1 Asher Fusco 1 心 1.

The organization will observe the 19th annual National Coming Out Day today with displays and information available to students on campus. David Ta, Wichita senior and Queers & Allies events coordinator, said students could walk through the door on Wescoe Beach to symbolize the transition of coming out, or support for the gay community. Ta said Queers & Allies made armbands with pink triangles to distribute to students. He said during World War II, pink triangles were used by Nazis at concentration camps to single out and identify homosexuals. Today the pink triangle is used as a symbol of pride and remembrance for the sav community. "It will definitely be a focal point on campus," Ta said. "For me, it's important to physically show we need the straight community to support their queer brothers and sisters." The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Resource Center will join Queers & Allies to promote awareness and education on Wescoe Beach. Tiffany Spriggs, graduate intern for LGBT offices in the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said National Coming Out Day wasn't just about celebration. It also focuses on understanding the hardships both gay and straight people experience with the coming out process. "In the past we've distributed T-shirts and made it a big happy deal," Spriggs said. "But it's most important to understand that gay people struggle every day with the stigma society has placed on them." Springs said she wanted to spread information about suicide rates of homosexuals. She said that when she had researched youth suicide rates, she found homosexual youths 18-25 years old had a much greater risk than heterosexual youths. A 2001 study by the American Journal of Public Health said youths with same-sex orientation were twice as likely to attempt suicide than heterosexual youths. Spriggs said the KU LGBT Resource Center provided resources about support services and programs, an online library, and Safe Zone workshops to educate faculty and staff about how to support and work with the gay community. Associate professor and Queers & Allies adviser, Maggie Childs said the day was beneficial for both gay and straight people. Childs said the day would educate members of the straight community, and prevent stereotypes based on ignorance. She said it was easy for students to believe they didn't know anyone who was gay. She said the day would also help gay and lesbian students understand how to come out to their friends and family. Thursday is the official date of National Coming Out Day, but KU Queers & Allies will observe it today on campus. The first National Coming Out Day was celebrated on Oct. 11, 1988 after the success of the 1987 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.

Chancellor Hemenway holds one of the most important positions on campus. But who's the man behind the title? From convocation to commencement, a chancellor's actions in any given year can make a huge difference in the lives of students and staff, and can even shape the university's campus. According to his Web site, Chancellor Robert Hemenway, oversees a $600 million budget and an "I'm pretty transparent," Hemenway said of his personality. "For better or worse, what you see is what you get." Hemenway, 66, grew up in Nebraska, where both of his parents worked in education. He has eight children, four of whom are graduates of the University of Kansas, and several, like Hemenway, are education administrators across the nation and the world. Hemenway met his wife, Leah Renee, while working as the chair of the English department at the University of Kentucky. They married in 1981. Outside his career in education, Hemenway's biggest claim to fame is arguably "Zora Neale Hurston: A Literary Biography". The book is nationally acclaimed and was selected by The New York Times as a "Best Books" pick in 1978. The book is a biography of Hurston, a folklorist and Harlem Renaissance writer who is most famous for her novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God." "Hurston was a fascinating storyteller," Hemeway said. "She made Hemenway's other hobbies include hiking and competitive bridge playing. Hemenway said he enjoyed walking several miles a day around campus and recently went on a hiking tour of France with his wife. He is also a sports fan, and he uses much of what little free time he has to watch various sports, his favorite of which is baseball. people come alive on the page." Hemenway said an average day on the job consisted of various meetings and his workday could last around 12 hours. His position comes with numerous responsibilities, but he makes light of his power on campus. "I firmly believe in the old motto: take your work seriously, but don't take yourself too seriously," Hemenway said.

Thad Starr, of Pleasant Hill, Ore, set a record at the annual pumpkin weight-off in California with his 1,524-pound pumpkin. He'll get $6 a pound, bringing his winnings to $9,144. "It's the thrill of the victory," Starr said Monday after his pumpkin came on top. "And it's the fruition of a year's work."

CRAWL FOR CANCER KC pubcrawl to raise money for cancer research "Crawl for Cancer," a unique fundraiser in Kansas City, Mo., asks its participants to visit bars and drink pitchers of beer to raise money for cancer research Saturday. Founder Aaron Niemeier said the event began in 2001 when Niemeier and a few friends wanted to do a pub crawl. The friends decided to donate whatever money was left at the end of the night to the American Cancer Society. The charitable crawl has spread to 15 U.S. cities. Nierieme said the last Kansas City, Mo., crawl raised about $100,000. Each team of 10 wears different colored T-shirts and follows its map to five Westport bars from 1 to 5 p.m. An entry fee is used to pay for "beer tickets", and any money left over goes to the American Cancer Society, and Helping Hands Foundation. After the crawl, an after party with live music is provided for participants at the Beaumont Club. Event co-coordinator Samantha Green said some people thought the event was controversial and didn't like the idea of drinking as a fundraiser for cancer research. "Some people see drinking for cancer' and tend to not think this is the best way to raise money;" Green said. Niemeier said young professionals between the ages of 25 and 35 were going to go out anyway, and the crawl was an event where people had a good time for a good cause. "People say it's their favorite event in KC," Niemeier said. "I have requests almost every other day The spring Crawl for Cancer is set for Saturday, May 17.

Still, some fans choose to leave early at halftime. BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com A nonconference schedule rated the weakest among all Division I-A programs was not enough to prevent Kansas from breaking their single season attendance record in nonconference games. The Jayhawks attracted about 45,200 fans per game to their four nonconference contests. The number is about 2,000 more fans per game than the second highest season — in 2006 the team averaged 43,000. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the Athletics Department, in tracking ticket sales over the winter, had been expecting the record. "I think it shows, going against mediocre opponents and coming off a non-bowl season, that people really understand this football team has a chance to be special," Marchiony said. Tricia West, Kansas City, Mo., senior and KU Color Guard member, said she had noticed a more packed stadium this year but that she hadn't sensed the same excitement amongst the crowd. She blamed the lethargy on a "weak schedule." "It's kind of hard to tell because the games haven't been close," West said. The two Mid-American Conference games attracted the most fans, with an announced attendance of 46,815 in the opener against Central Michigan, last year's MAC champion, and 48,112 against Toledo. Announced attendance is based on the number of tickets sold, not the number of people in the stadium. The nonconference slate featured four blowouts and a stadium that was rapidly thinning after the halftime of each game. Marchiony said he didn't think this reflected poorly on the fans. "We wish they would stay until the end, but we understand all the factors that go into that decision," Marchiony said. "In a close contest, I don't think those people would leave." West, who must stay for the duration of the game, said students leave early because "people just want to go drinking." She expected more body painters and a full stadium in the fourth quarter during conference play. With Big 12 bottom feeders Baylor and Iowa State making the trek to Lawrence this year, the Nebraska game might offer local fans the only opportunity to see a tight game. The fourth scheduled home conference game against Missouri was moved to Arrowhead Stadium the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Marchiony said the attendance record, along with the team's current 5-0 mark and No.20 National Ranking would help conference attendance. The layhawks conference attendance mark was set in 2005, with an average of 45,382 per game. That year, the team played three true home games, against Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State, with the fourth, Oklahoma, being played at Arrowhead. The Oklahoma game was not figured into home attendance figures. Marchiony said this year's Nebraska game would sell out, and the administration hoped for "good weather" during the other two games. Capacity at Memorial Stadium is 51,000. Kansas was forced to return 275 allotted tickets to Kansas State for last weekend's game after the team couldn't sell the 3,800 they were given. Still, Marchiony said that was the fewest number ever returned. "As we get better, we will become a much better traveling fan base," Marchiony said. "I definitely think that our fans really made themselves heard. I had no doubt that the team noticed that as well. That means a lot when you are on the road." West said it was important for traveling Kansas fans to be heard because of the importance of the game. "I think we were just as loud as the whole K-State stadium," West said. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell BUSINESS BY LAUREN SHEPHERD ASSOCIATED PRESS MillerCoors combo to brew competition NEW YORK - The makers of Coors and Miller Lite plan to combine their U.S. brewing operations in an effort to compete better against industry leader Anheuser-Busch. The joint venture announced Tuesday will be known as MillerCoors and will have responsibility for selling brands including Miller Lite, Miller Genuine Draft, Coors, Coors Light and Molson Canadian in the U.S. Anheuser-Busch Cos. accounts for about half of the U.S. market with brands such as Budweiser, Michelob and Bud Light. SABMiller PLC will have a 58 percent economic interest in the venture and MolsonCoors Brewing Co. will own 42 percent of the new company. They will have equal voting interests, however. Precise financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. "It is clear Miller and Coors will be a stronger, more competitive U.S. brewer than either company can be on its own," said Molson Coors Chief Executive Leo Kiely, who will be the new CEO of the joint venture. The joint venture will also result in cost savings of $500 million, the companies said. That savings will mainly come from reducing shipping distances, finding economies of scale in brewing operations, optimizing production and eliminating duplicate corporate and marketing services. London-based SABMiller, which brews Miller Lite as well as a slew of European beers, and Coloradobased Molson Coors, the brewer of Coors Light and the craft beer Blue Moon, will each have five representatives on its board of directors. Pete Coors, vice chairman of Molson Coors, will serve as chairman of the new company and Kiely will be the new CEO. Tom Long, CEO of Miller, will be appointed president and chief commercial officer. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies said they will conduct all of their U.S. business exclusively through the venture. The companies project MillerCoors will have combined annual beer sales of 69 million U.S. barrels with revenue of about $6.6 billion. Coors said the joint venture will allow both companies to compete for U.S. consumers who are "looking for greater choice and differentiation," as wine and spirits continue to entice beer drinkers and imports and craft beers garner a larger share of the market. The companies said by combining their U.S. operations, the venture will be able to invest more in marketing its brands to consumers and compete more effectively with larger brewers like Anheuser-Busch and InBev NV S.A., which imports a large number of global beers into the U.S. and is the world's largest brewer by volume. "Given the highly complementary nature of our U.S. assets, operations and geographic footprint, this is a logical and compelling combination that we expect will create significant value for shareholders while benefiting distributors, consumers, retailers and the market overall," said SABMiller Chief Executive Graham Mackay. Mackay said on a conference call with analysts the two companies will complement each other geographically, because Miller is strong in the central region down through Texas, while Coors has a strong reach in the West and parts of the Northeast. Coors' two breweries and Miller's six will remain open, executives said. A final agreement is expected to be signed by the end of 2007 with the deal closing in mid-2008, the companies said.

Edited by Amelia Freidline RADIO Katherine Loeck/KANSAN Station finds artistic listeners Students submit photography, 'Insect Art' Kansas Public Radio displays "learners-submitted art in an exhibition including work by KU students and faculty." The "Thinkeress" by Michela Groebleman, sophomore, is shown at the right. PICCOLINO PAULO 1957-2016 BY JEFF DETERS ideters@kansan.com Katie Jennings is trying to launch her new online business Insect Art, and with a little help from Kansas Public Radio, she might accomplish that. "These are very talented kids." Wilke said. About a month ago, KPR began asking listeners to submit to the radio station various works of art that could hang on a wall as part of an art exhibition. Phil Wilke, media manager for KPR, said the station had received more than 60 submissions, including work from University of Kansas students. The exhibition will be displayed in the Conference Room in the KPR building until the end of November. The exhibition is free and open to the public. Wilke said the station hoped to soon have pictures of the gallery online. Jennings, Lawrence native and 2005 KU graduate, said she enjoyed working with dried insects. She submitted to the exhibition a piece entitled "Jewel Beetles." The piece is a display of plain beetles following behind a more elegantly decorated "jewel" beetle. Jennings studied anthropology at the University and said she enjoyed working with beetles because they had cultural significance. She said ancient Mesoamerican societies decorated living beetles with gold and jewels. "I like to work with beetles because they hold a worldwide mystical value." Jennings said. He submitted to KPR's gallery a photo of a record player in a barn in Alabama. John Counts, Auburn, Ala. graduate student, first heard about the art show while driving and listening to KPR. He is studying geology and has done photography work for the last seven years. Counts said he submitted his work because the show gave him the opportunity to locally showcase his work, which was more convenient. "I'd like to exhibit more, but I don't have time to search for upcoming exhibitions and get my work ready for display," Counts said. Counts said that while he enjoyed photography, it was not a career he wanted to make a living doing. "But I enjoy it, and I think I will always be involved with photography to some degree," Counts said. —Edited by Chris Beattie Get the Yell Scared Out of You! •Corn Maize •Hayrock Rides •Pumpkin Patch •Haybale Hayen •Slither Slides •Corpit Pest 5991 17th St. Grantville, KS and Much More! 246-0800 • frightmarefarm.com FrightMare farm Hapted House RESEARCH BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com Study: Many students involved in violent relationships According to recent studies, more and more college students are being subjected to violence by their significant others. Researchers have said that students needed to be aware of the warning signs and take steps to ensure they do not become involved in such relationships. Dating violence is the term used to describe any form of abuse, be it physical or verbal, which occurs in an intimate relationship.

"It can lead to much more serious things like physical violence." college students had been in relationships that involved physical violence. She said a much greater number of students had suffered emotional abuse. Woochan Shim, assistant professor of social welfare at the University of Kansas, said a wide variety of behavior could constitute violence. She said controlling behavior was a major factor. "Ordering someone to wear certain things or not hang out with certain people are some examples," Shim said. "Any time someone's freedom is limited, it can be abuse." The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in three college students will be involved in an abusive relationship. The CDC cites alcohol use and childhood traumas as factors that "Sometimes research blinds us," she said. "Alcohol and past histories of violence may be risk factors, but they are not causes." Stith came up with a broad list of questions that could help one evaluate his or her relationship. One question asks: "Does your partner try to control your life?" "You should avoid extreme neediness where the other person wants every second of your time," Sith said. Another question she says one should ask is: "Do I feel better or worse about myself when I am in this relationship?" "Low self-esteem is a very serious concern," she said. "If you feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells around this person, it's not right." "Studies consistently find that it is equal," Stith said. "Both men and women are psychologically controlling." Shim said that all too often, men were viewed as the enemy. She said she hoped to see programs in the future that incorporate male leaders in teaching children about how to have healthy relationships early on. Both Shim and Stith said it is important to remember that both men and women can be victims of dating violence. "We need to acknowledge the fact that men do get victimized," she said. "For us to end violence in our society, we can't target just one enemy, we need to work together. Prevention should start early." lots of costumes • more accessories • make-up wigs • "create a costume section" • great prices!

KATE FURST Wild Man Vintage employee "They're helping out a lot of people in a lot of different ways," Furst said. Kate Furst, Wild Man Vintage employee and show director, said this was the second fashion show she had done for charity. In July, Furst presented "Summer Sweat!" for Audio Reader. Furst said the Social Service League was her first choice for a second fundraiser. She said that with the loss of the Salvation Army and Disabled American Veteran's thrift store, the SSL was an important downtown fixture. The Social Service League is Lawrence's oldest charity, dating back to 1861. The SSL provides services through its thrift store and its eye and shoe funds. The eye fund assists local families with the cost of eye examinations and glasses, and the shoe fund works with Payless Shoes to provide shoes to children and adults in need. Jean Ann Pike of SSL said fundraisers and store sales were the only funding the SSL received.

Performances from "The Felt Show" satirical puppet troupe and local artists of the E.M.U. Theater will entertain the audience throughout the show. Each business is creating its own costume theme from items in the store. Erica Voetsch, Leawood junior and an Arizona Trading Co. employee, said local shops could provide more creative and more unique costume ideas than larger chain stores. "There's such a better variety," Voetsch said. "We have such a wide selection of weird stuff that comes in here." Voetsch said the store had an entire corner designated for Halloween costumes and props. Malina Heinemann, designer for Wild Man Vintage's costumes for the show, said she created a 1880s-style dress with a combination of vintage clothing ranging from the 1890s to the 1970s. "You can really use your imagination," Heinemann said. "You get to be the costumer." Furst said she enjoyed putting together the shows and the help from the downtown businesses. "I just want to have a good time, and throw an awesome party for people," Furst said.

But few students have ventured to the University's wilder side: the Field Station and Ecological Reserves. Last month, a 160-acre plot was added to the nature reserve. would be protected for future generations. The new Suzanne Ecke McColl Nature Reserve is part of the 3,404 acres set aside for research, teaching and conservation. According to an Oct. 1 KU press release, much of Douglas County used to be covered by a tallgrass prairie, but today less than 1 percent of the county's prairie remains. Private donors funded the land purchase to ensure the prairie Berry Clemens, project coordinator for Kansas Applied Remote Sensing, said she was excited by the many opportunities the new land would offer. "There will be several good demonstrations of ecological conservation that we hope can be used in the classrooms at KU." Clemens said. The KU Endowment Association is raising money to complete several projects for the new plot. According to the same press release, the site will include a hiking trail that connects to existing trails on the field station and a 1,200-foot-long handicapped accessible nature trail that will lead to an overlook 240 feet above the Kaw River Valley. "Monev is being raised to expand the trails and make them more accessible," said Lisa Scheller, senior editor for the KU Endowment Association. "There will be labels explaining the types of wildlife visitors will be looking at." The press release said that a Monarch Watch waystation would also be constructed so that visitors can observe migrating butterflies. Gardens on the McColl reserve will feature wildflowers, as well as Native American and medicinal herbs. Clemens also said that the reserve had areas rife with Kansas history. "There is a 10-acre prairie that looks exactly like it was 200 years ago," she said.

Clinton featured Kiva as a way for volunteers to help small businesses in developing countries through the Internet. Kiva, founded in San Francisco in late 2004, allows lenders to select entrepreneurs on its Web site and use a credit card to loan them money. Kiva transfers funds to local partners, which are nongovernmental organization workers at microfinance institutions, who then disburse the loans to each qualified borrower. Kiva's local partners collect repayments and e-mail updates to lenders about the progress of the businesses to which they loaned the funds. As the businesses succeed, funds are returned to lenders, who can then choose to re-loan to another business or withdraw the funds. After Clinton and the founders of Kiva, Matt and Jessica Flannery. appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" last month, the Kiva's Web site posted a message stating that this year, for the first time, every business that applied had been funded. Kiva has loaned more than $12.6 million, and 99.6 per- April about the organization. "I'm happy to see the recent public," Bryson said. "I hope this new demand will bring more microlending organizations out." Kiva allows donors to lend as little as $25 to a specific entrepreneur People in Lawrence have joined the organization a developing country. These microloans are then used by the small business owners to lift themselves out of poverty with their own business models. "I loan because I believe everyone in the world deserves the opportunity to succeed and improve their lives." "I'm happy to see the recent publicity. I hope this new demand will bring more microlending organizations out." SAM SNYDER KU alumnus and have loaned thousands of dollars to businesses in countries such as Mexico, Togo and Cambodia. STEPHANIE BRYSON Project coordinator School of Social Welfare Sam Snyder, "My husband and I narrow the choices down to three people," said Cheryl Holmes, a University project manager for the School of Social Welfare. "We then read each person's story to our 6-year-old son, talking about the area of the world cent of the loans have been repaid. Its donor membership has grown from 75,000 in June to more than 127,000 today. Kiva has funded 17,000 loans today compared with the seven it started with in March 2005. Snyder has lent mostly to female borrowers after reading Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus' book "Banker to the Poor." Yunus, who developed the concept of microlending in the 1970s, said women are more likely than men Stephanie Bryson, a university of Kansas project coordinator of children's mental health for the School of Social Welfare, joined Kiva after seeing a PBS "Frontline" special in the person is from and what he or she wants to do with the loan. We then make a selection as a family" a Motorola technician and 2006 University graduate, has loaned to 703 people, totaling at least $17,575, since he joined in January 2006. "I loan because I believe everyone in the world deserves the opportunity to succeed and improve their lives and their communities," Snyder said. to repay loans, save money and support their families. Small business owners in poor countries need capital, but because of a lack of collateral and credit history they are unable to acquire loans from traditional or formal banking systems. Nongovernmental organizations and private institutions such as Kiva supply microloans to these people in need. "When a person lives in poverty due to either unemployment or under-employment, this person will search for opportunities to make a living," said Rubana Mahjabeen, a University economics lecturer. "Microcredit gives these people an opportunity to pursue that goal. So, these people will try to make the best use of this loan." Grace Ayaa, whose peanut butter business received a microloan through Kiva, lives in Uganda where most people work in a local rock quarry for $1 a day. Her loan allowed her to buy a refrigerator and packing material, increasing her peanut butter production. Ayaa's loan from Kiva benefits not only her and her family but others in her town. According to Kiva's Web site, www.kiva.org, other villagers have decided to start their own businesses with microloans from Kiva after seeing Ayaa's success. Their business profiles are available on Kiva's Web site. — Edited by Amelia Freidline Autumn Truckload Sale!!

That's the sobering message from an Energy Department report Tuesday that estimates heating oil costs are likely to jump 22 percent and natural gas bills, on average. will rise 10 percent between October and March. And while the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasted a milder than average winter in most parts of the country, the agency also predicted Tuesday. "I think we're going to have to get a lot of blankets, because there's no way we'll be able to afford to run the heat." that temperatures will be 1.3 percent colder than last year. In Massachusetts, where about 40 percent of homeowners rely on oil for heat, consumers are bracing for price spikes, said Michael Ferrante, president of the trade group, Massachusetts Oilheat Council. "They are buttoning up their houses even more; they are turning down their thermostats; they are wearing sweaters," Ferrante said. Surging crude oil prices are the primary, but not the only, culprit for the jump in fuel oil costs. This spring and summer, American refineries experienced an unusual number of unexpected maintenance outages. The net result was that fewer refineries were producing gasoline, heating oil and other petroleum products. The outages送 gasoline prices to a record $3.23 a gallon in late PENNY TAYLOR Sarasota, Fla., resident May as refiners scrambled to produce enough gasoline to meet peak summer driving demand. "Because they used every ounce of the refinery to produce gasoline, it came at the expense of distillate fuels like home heating oll", said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Alarcon Loring Corp. in Chicago. Despite the government forecast, natural gas prices have been mostly falling in recent weeks. Inventories remained high as new sources of natural gas were tapped this year, and a cooler summer depressed demand. "We could have all-time record storage by the beginning of February," said Tim Evans, an analyst at Citigroup. Inc., in New York. But all of that could change if oil prices stay high and electricity plant operators switch to natural gas for units that can burn either fuel, said Ron Denhardt, CEO of Strategic Energy & Economic Research, Inc., in Winchester. Mass. On the other hand, supplies coming this year, including Anadarko Petroleum Corp's Independence Hub platform in the Gulf of Mexico and a portion of the huge Rockies Express natural gas pipeline project, are expected to boost natural gas supplies by 2 billion to 2.5 billion cubic feet. "That's a lot of supply coming on," Denhardt said. The Energy Department estimated a gallon of heating oil will rise to $2.88 this winter as crude oil prices stay high. Crude futures traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange have surged by more than a third from a year ago and settled Tuesday at $80.26 per barrel, up 1.2 percent for the day. In Massachusetts, the Division of Energy Resources said dealers were charging an average $2.72 a gallon for fuel oil on Tuesday — a record high, and up 5 cents from the most recent survey on Sept. 18. The figure is 11 cents higher than the peak that followed a series of price spikes after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Heating oil is used by 7 percent of American households, mostly in the Northeast, while natural gas heat is used by 58 percent of households. Another 30 percent are heated by electricity, which the Energy Department estimated will rise 4 percent in cost this winter. For the 5 percent of American homes that use propane, winter heating costs are expected to increase 16 percent. While some homeowners are choosing to convert to natural gas furnaces, oil dealers argue that such conversions don't pay off. An average conversion costs $5,575, the Massachusetts Oilheat Council says. "I think consumers understand if they do the research, heating oil has been cheaper than natural gas in the past," said Ken Williams, owner of Scott-Williams Oil, in Quincy, Mass. The wild card in the heating cost estimates is the weather. If the U.S. experiences a warmer than expected winter, prices of some fuels could decrease through the winter. But if the winter is particularly cold, prices could jump more than expected. "You could have (supply) tightness if you're going to have a colder-than-normal winter," Evans said. Penny Taylor, who spent about $350 a month last winter to heat her Sarasota, Fla., home with electric heat, blanched when she heard about Tuesday's price forecast from the Energy Department. "I think we're going to have to get a lot of blankets, because there's no way we'll be able to afford to run the heat," Taylor said. SIRNAK, Turkey — Turkey's ruling party decided Tuesday to seek parliamentary approval for an offensive against Kurdish rebels based in northern Iraq, a move that could open a new front in the Iraq War and disrupt one of that nation's few relatively peaceful areas. IRAQ WAR Turkey could launch attack against Kurdish rebels The government did not say it had decided to launch such an attack, which could jeopardize Turkey's ties with the United States. The U.S. warned against sending troops across the border and urged Turkey to work with Iraq's government to quell the Turkish Kurd guerrillas. "If they have a problem, they need to work together to resolve it, and I'm not sure that unilateral incursions are the way to go." State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said. "We have counseled, both in public and private, for many, many months, the idea that it is important to work cooperatively to resolve this issue." In the past, Turkish troops have made small-scale "hot pursuit" raids into Iraq that officials say do not require Parliament's approval. The last major incursion against the militant separatists operating out of Iraq's Kurdish region was in 1997. There are widespread fears that a Turkish offensive would destabilize Iraq's Kurdish area, which has largely escaped the violence and political turmoil afflicting regions dominated by Shiite Muslims and Sunni Arabs. Iraqi Kurds, who run a virtual mini-state in Iraq's north, have vowed to defend their borders. Associated Press Researchers win Nobel Prize for physics discovery SCIENCE BY BRIAN BERGSTEIN ASSOCIATED PRESS The effect is called giant magnetoresistance, but it enables amazing things at the miniature level. France's Albert Fert and Germany's Peter Gruenberg independently described giant magnetoresistance in 1988, then saw the electronics industry apply it in disks with incredible amounts of storage. Two European scientists won the 2007 Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for their discoveries of the phenomenon, which spurred some of computing's most astonishing developments. "I can hardly think of an application that has a bigger bang than the magnetic hard drive industry," said Phil Schewe, a physicist and spokesman for the American Institute of Physics. Fert, 69, is the scientific director of the Mixed Unit for Physics at ery would have such wide application, Fert told The Associated Press: "You can never predict in physics. ... These days when I go to my grocer and see him type on a computer, I say, "Wow, he's using something I put together in my mind! It's wonderful." Here's how it works. As a metal disk spins inside a hard drive, an arm with a sensitive electromagnetic head at its tip hovers over the disk, somewhat like the needle on a record player (though it doesn't make contact). This head reads bits of data by registering the magnetic bearing of individual particles; it writes data by changing that magnetic orientation. For disk drives to increase in capacity, those magnetic particles "I can hardly think of an application that has a bigger bang than the magnetic hard drive industry." Asked if he'd thought his discov- PHIL SCHEWE American Institute of Physics CNRS/Thales in Orsay, France, while Gruenberg, 68, is a professor at the Institute of Solid State Research in the west German city of Juelich. They will share the $1.5 million prize. Gruenberg told reporters that he was not too surprised to win the Nobel. "Because I have received a lot of awards, I was often asked, 'When will the big award come?' Gruenberg said. must become smaller, so more can be packed into the same amount of space. But these evertinier materials produce fainter magnetic signals, which means the read-write head in the disk drive has to become more sensitive. What Fert and Grunenberg independently discovered was that thin layers of alternating metals could detect weak changes in magnetism — and translate them into "giant" changes in electrical resistance. In other words, the particles used in data storage could get smaller and still produce the electrical signals that computers read as ones or zeros.

Devlin admitted his crimes in graphic detail to Washington County Circuit Court Judge Sandra Martinez just feet away from Shawn's weeping POTOSI, Mo. — A former pizzeria manager said Tuesday that he attempted to kill a boy he kidnapped and held captive in his apartment, but the child persuaded him not to do it. parents, Pam and Craig Akers. Prosecutors said Devlin snatched Shawn at gunpoint when the 11-year-old was riding his bike in the remote town of Richwoods. He kid-napped William "Ben" Ownby in January, and police who found Ben four days after he was taken were shocked to discover a 15-year-old Shawn in Devlin's apartment. "I attempted to kill (Shawn) and he talked me out of it," Devlin said in court. Prosecutors said the combined pleas mean he will not be eligible for parole until he is more than 100 years old. He was sentenced to three life terms plus 60 years in prison Tuesday, in addition to a life sentence he received Monday. Washington County prosecutor John Rupp said he was satisfied with the sentences Devlin received. Devlin's defense attorneys and Shawn's parents declined to comment Tuesday. Devlin was expected to plead guilty later in the day in St. Louis County to 71 felony charges, including kidnapping and sexual assault. Devlin's attorneys have said he accepted a plea deal after reviewing the evidence collected by state and federal authorities. The boys' families said they were relieved because the pleas will spare the teens from testifying and reliving the ordeal. "You heard it from his own mouth. You've heard what kind of a monster he is." Rupp said after the hearing. Everything Jayhawk Bookstore ...at the top of Naismith Hill Everything You Need ... from textbooks to travel mugs.

The top photo captures a close-up of the group, while the bottom photo depicts one person in mid-air performing an airborne stunt against a dark sky. BY SHANNON DININNY ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS Wanda Craig holds a photo of her children (from left in upper photo) Ivy, Kelly, and Casey, on Tuesday, that shows them taking part in a recent skydiving jump, following a briefing from the Yakima County Sheriff's Department about search and recovery efforts near White Pass, Wash., surrounding the crash Sunday night of a plane carrying 10 people. WHITE PASS, Wash. — Searchers combing through wreckage Tuesday found the last three victims among 10 killed when their plane crashed in Washington's rugged central Cascade Range on their way home from a skydiving event. Bodies of seven of the 10 people aboard were found Monday. Recovery crews found the rest on Tuesday, said Nisha Marvel, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation's aviation division. "It's rough rugged terrain, and it took about 35 volunteers to comb that recovery area today to find the remaining passengers," Marvel said. The debris at the remote crash site indicated that the Cessna Caravan 208 went down in a steep nosedive, Yakima County Sheriff Ken Irwin told a news conference at a command center. The plane left Star, Idaho on Sunday evening en route to Shelton, Wash., but did not arrive. It had been returning from a skydiving meet in Idaho when it disappeared. when it disappeared over the weekend. He doubted that they would have been prepared for an emergency jump, because it was unlikely they were strapped into parachutes and wearing goggles on "I'm told it was a horrific sight and the airplane crashed at a fairly high speed." It was not immediately clear what caused the plane to crash. JIM HALL Director of Yakima Valley Emergency Management their way home. Fighting back tears, Kelly Craig, whose 30-year-old brother, Casey, died in the crash, said the skydivers on board had made lots of jumps "We have radar information that shows the rapid descent but other than that we have really no hard evidence as to what caused it," Marvel said. The plane crashed just east of the crest of the Cascades, about five miles south of White Pass and on the edge of the Goat Rocks Wilderness, said Wayne Frudd of Yakima County Search and Rescue. The crash site is about 25 miles southeast of Mount Rainier. "I'm told it was a horrific sight and the airplane crashed at a fairly high speed," said Jim Hall, director of Yakima Valley Emergency Management. The wreckage was found about an hour after dark Monday by searchers on the ground following the smell of fuel. A hunter who reported seeing a low-flying plane then hearing a crash said the engine sounded like it was working hard and whining as the aircraft went down, said Tom Peterson, aviation and emergency services coordinator for the state Department of Transportation. The plane, a single-engine turboprop built in 1994, was found within 200 yards of its last radar ping in rugged terrain at an elevation of 4,300 feet. The crash site measured about 100 feet by 60 feet, indicating that the plane probably went straight down, said Irwin, the sheriff. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash. Authorities did not immediately release the names of the victims, who ranged in age from 18 to 40, because not all family members had been notified. The nine skydivers were affiliated with Skydive Snohomish, a company that operates a training school and skydiving flights at Harvey Field north of Seattle.

That compared to seven drinks a day for the placebo group. Pill may replace rehab "You can come in drinking a bottle of scotch a day and get treatment without detox," said Dr. Bankole Johnson of the University of Virginia, who led the study, which was conducted at 17 U.S. sites from 2004-2006. The study didn't follow the drinkers long-term, so it's unclear how many relapsed after they stopped taking the pill. But there were lasting effects for Tom Wolfe, 44, a carpenter from Earlsville, Va., who said he has been sober for two years thanks to Topamax. After years of heavy drinking, he took part in an earlier Topamax study. He felt "a little lightheaded" at first until he got used to the drug. Alcohol lost its enjoyment, strengthening his resolve to quit. Others cut back. ASSOCIATED PRESS Migraine drug assists alcoholics, has number of side effects CHICAGO - A migraine pill seems to help alcoholics taper off their drinking without detox treatment, researchers report, offering a potential option for a hard-to-treat problem. "It's been a miracle to me." Wolfe said. "It got the monkey off my back." Please Apply ASAP through the KU Career Connections Website Experts said the drug is likely to appeal to heavy drinkers who would rather seek help from their own doctors, rather than enter a rehab clinic to dry out. The drug costs at least $350 a month, plus the price of doctor's visits. But side effects are a problem, and it's unclear whether the findings will make a dent in an addiction that affects millions of Americans. The drug, Topamax, works in a different way than three other medications already approved for treating alcoholism. Addiction specialists not involved in the study said the findings are promising, although side effects such as trouble concentrating, tingling and itching caused about one in five people to drop out of the study. Drowsiness and dizziness are also problems. At the start of the study, they drank, on average, 11 standard drinks daily. That's about two sixpacks of beer each day, or two bottles of wine, or a pint of hard liquor. By the end of the study, 27 of the 183 people, or 15 percent, who took Topamax had quit drinking entirely for seven weeks or more. That compared to six out of 188, or 3 percent, in the placebo group. All volunteers were encouraged but not required to stop drinking. "The size of the treatment effect is larger than in most of the other medications we've seen," said Dr. Mark Willenbring of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. "And all the drinking variables changed in the right direction." The study followed 371 heavy drinkers for 14 weeks. About half were randomly assigned to take Topamax, also called topiramate, in gradually increasing doses. The others took dummy pills. The study, published in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association, was funded by the maker of the drug. Johnson & Johnson Inc.'s Ortho-McNeil Neurologics. CIVILIAN SHOOTING Security guards open fire on two women in taxi BAGHDAD — Guards working for an Australian-owned security company fired on a car as it approached their convoy Tuesday, killing two women civilians before speeding away from the latest bloodshed blamed on the deadly mix of heavily armed protection details on Baghdad's crowded streets. The deaths of the two Iraqi Christians — including one who used the white sedan as an unof ficial taxi to raise money for her family — came a day after the Iraqi government U.S. officials a report demanding hefty payments and the ouster from Iraq of embattled Blackwater USA for a chaotic shooting last month that left at least 17 civilians dead. "We deeply regret this incident," said a statement from Michael Priddin, the chief operating officer of Unity Resources Group, a security company owned by Australian partners but with headquarters in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Priddin said the company would disclose more details of the shooting after "the facts have been verified and the necessary people and authorities notified" Priddin would not comment on whether his guards killed the women. But initial accounts — from company statements, witnesses and others — suggested the guards opened fire as the car failed to heed warnings to stop and drifted closer to the convoy near a Unity facility in central Baqhdad's Karraahah district. It was not immediately clear whether the guards were protecting a client at the time.

The city of Lawrence has responded, and the support for the team is pouring in. But you just can't please everyone. Some critics have not been phased by the Jayhawks' success, chalking it up to the one of the if not the easiest non-conference schedule in the nation. They are sticking to their argument too, even though the Jayhawks were able to beat the #24 KSU Wildcats on Saturday in Manhattan for the first time in almost two decades. But to each his own. Some, however, have gone as far as to shun the Athletic Department for creating a non-conference schedule that attacked four small schools to give fans a false sense of security that the 2007 Jayhawks were an elite team, which would result in more tickets being sold, as well as to help the chances that the 2007 Jayhawks would be requested to participate in a bowl game, which would result in more money for the Department. It's finally happened, fellow Kansas students. The critics are unable to insult the Jayhawks' secondary, so now they're attacking our schedule makers. It's as pathetic as it sounds. Let me make it clear that the when a non-conference game is scheduled, it is completely voluntary by both sides. Kansas isn't a large fire breathing dragon that grabs lowly teams like Florida International out of their homes in Miami and forces them to play the Jayhawks in Lawrence, or else we'd take their first born. Every non-conference game was a mutual agreement between both schools' Athletic Departments. MAAC Conference Champion Central Michigan agreed to play a game with the Jayhawks, KU wins 52-7 and they blame Kansas for requesting the game? Central Michigan likely wanted the game as much as Kansas did, for publicity pursues and a chance to upset (See: Appalachian State vs. Michigan.) The bottom line is that KU wants to win. The Big 12 is difficult enough, and the way that the NCAA Football Playoffs, or lack thereof, work, winning is the bottom line, no matter who you play. If creating a schedule that helps KU's chances of getting to a respectable bowl game is wrong, I don't want KU to be right. Last season, critics scolded team performance, and with how the Jayhawks played in the Oklahoma State and Baylor games, it was deserved. This year, critics want to bash the schedule. I'd rather just enjoy the season, than seek flaws that aren't there. The players are busting their asses. Let's give them some respect. THE LIBRARIAN YOUR PARENTS WARNED YOU ABOUT Cost of preschool rivals college tuition Early preparation makes preschool the new kindergarten at university price CASSIE GENTRY Apparently the price of learning your ABCs has skyrocketed. Last week, Forbes.com published a list of the most expensive preschools. I was shocked to see that the yearly tuition for some was as high as $30,000, about five times the KU in-state tuition or my rent for the next seven years. Granted, these preschools have some things that your standard, church-basement preschool does not provide. At the 92nd Street Y, where tuition is a mind-blowing $17,740, the three-and-four-year-olds "engage in an archeology 'dig' and sculpture projects." In these preschools, subjects covered range from music and drama to foreign languages and sciences. That sounds great for a fourth-or-five grader that could really appreciate it. How many of us even remember anything about preschool? I have hazy memories of coloring and sitting in a circle. Would I remember more if I had had some extraordinary experiences? I doubt it. I went to Disney World when I was three, which is the pinnacle of events when you're a kid, and I don't remember a thing. To me, the goal of preschool is to gently acquaint your child with the regimented environment of a school. They learn the rules and routines that accompany going to school without the added stress of difficult schoolwork. Intensive lessons in Spanish or classical music don't really fit in my ideal preschool situation. Forbes.com claims that "kindergarten has become the new first grade, which makes preschool the new kindergarten." Am I the only one seeing that what we are still missing here is an actual preschool? By the time our generation is ready to send preschool packing, the birth will be the new preschool. You will get on a waiting list immediately after your first sonogram, and teachers will come and asses the child's learning capabilities basinet-side when the baby is in the hospital. We will be expected to not only scrimp and save so that our children can go to the college of their choice but also so that they can go to the most advantageous preschools and elementary school. How will we be able to not only combat the rising price of a college education, but also pay the tuition for a preschool that costs nearly as much as a year at Harvard? The teachers of these schools are propagating that their curriculum prepares near-infants for a later ivy-league education; but to me, it's just a scam. Even if you have the cash to blow, it's still a worthless investment. Rather than throwing obscene amounts of money at a fancy preschool program, parents should be spending time with their children. If you think your child is the next Mozart, then invest in expensive music lessons a few years later when he can handle it. I plan on sending my kids to the local preschool where they will not only learn to line up properly and share with others but also that you cannot eat glue or crayons. I think they'll still have a shot at Harvard. Gentry is a Kansas City junior in English.

SPORTS NO FALL BREAK FOR SOCCER PAGE 3B THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM SETTING UP FOR VICTORY? PAGE 3B WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10,2007 COMMENTARY PAGE 1B Could the KU football team be the new Mr. Right? BY RUSTIN DOD The Kansas football team's biggest upset of the season didn't take place on Saturday against Kansas State. Sure, watching Aqib "Soulja Boy" Talib and company crank their way into the Top 25 was satisfying, but the football team's biggest victory of the season came on Monday. For the first time since the first Clinton Administration, the football team overshadowed the basketball team. Well, that basketball team starts practice on Friday with its annual Late Night in the Phog. It's half spectacle, half scrimmage, and it's the first chance fans have to check out the new suad. Remember the basketball team? The one that went to the Elite Eight last season, will most likely be ranked in the preseason top-five, and has greater expectations than Dickens. But this year, the basketball season can wait. There another show in town, and this Saturday it's headlining at Memorial Stadium at 11:30 a.m. Leading men Todd Reesing and Talib will attempt to keep the No.20 football team undefeated against woeful Baylor. Kansas football is the biggest show in town. Can you believe it? It doesn't matter if you've been hanging out on Wescoe Beach, inside Mrs. E's, at the Kansas Union, or in a frat house dining room. Kansas football has been the toast of every conversation this week. I actually engaged in an outrageous debate over the chain of events that needed to happen for Kansas to play in the National Championship game at the Louisiana Superdome on Jan. 7. Was there any time in the past 10 years when fans could have rationally had that conversation? The Kansas basketball team has done nothing wrong. And within a few weeks you can probably count on most of those lunchtime football conversations turning to the status of Brandon Rush's ACL. But for now, think about this relationship analogy. Imagine you have a girlfriend or boyfriend. We'll call this person Pat. Pat is gorgeous, has a great personality, and is always ranked in top 25 in the nation in the AP significant other poll. But Pat also has a history of letting you down at the most critical of times. And in March you feel like you can't trust Pat at all. Now a guy or girl you've known for a long time is starting to catch your eye. We'll call this person Kelly. Kelly used to have a lot of flaws. Kelly was extremely unreliable, terrible to travel with, and just annoyingly dull. But something happened to Kelly. Kelly dropped 20 pounds, started saying all the right things, and just became fun to be around. You can probably figure out who Pat and Kelly are. And wouldnt you at least be mildly intrigued by Kelly? The basketball team probably doesn't have to worry about anybody actually breaking up with it, but it might have to get used to sharing the limelight and the headlines with the football team. Kansas should roll over Baylor this weekend, and if Kansas can squeak past Colorado in Boulder, Colo., on Oct. 20. Kansas would be 7-0 going into a date with Texas A&M in College Station, Texas on Oct. 27. This could be a historical year in Lawrence. You have to go back to 1995-96 to find the last time Kansas was ranked in the AP Top 10 in football and basketball in the same school year. The Jayhawks peaked at No. 6 in football in the Oct. 28 poll, while the Kansas basketball team spent the entire season in the Top 10, including three weeks at No. 1. Two years before that in 1992-93, Kansas won the Aloha Bowl in football and went to the Final Four in basketball. This year has the potential to be even bigger. Kansas fans should set their sights on San Antonio. It must be fate that the Big 12 Championship game and the Final Four are both being played at the AlamoDome. There could be plenty of Rock Chalk on the River Walk in San Antonio in December and March. Is it realistic? Probably not. But is it possible? Yes, and isn't that something? - Edited by Elizabeth Cattell what to men's basketball WAICH BY MARK Junior guard Brandon Russo said he'd suit up the Jayhawks Friday night but only for last drills. He likely will not play in the scrimmage. Still, the public will have its first chance to see Rush's surgically-repaired knee looks in a basket setting. Fans will also get see sophomore for Darrell Arthur. A fracture prevent from playing for six weeks later. He's been since late August will be counted to help the fill void made by Wright's early to the NBA. The Injured LANSA 25 Junior guard Brandon Rush said he'd suit up for the Jayhawks Friday night but only for lay-up drills. He likely will not play in the scrimmage. Still, the public will have its first chance to see how Rush's surgically-repaired knee looks in a basketball setting. Fans will also get to see sophomore forward Darrell Arthur. A stress fracture prevented Arthur from playing basketball for six weeks this summer. He's been playing since late August and will be counted on to help the fill the void made by Julian Wright's early entry to the NBA. KANSAS 00 To fill in for Wright, Arthur will first have to outplay several teammates. Battle of the Bruisers The Jayhawks' front-court should be one of the best in the country this season. Arthur, Jackson, Kaun and Aldrich, will likely compete for two starting spots. The play between these four players should make for good viewing Friday night. Fab Freshmen Cole Aldrich just wants to touch a basketball. After two weeks of boot camp hell, the feel of leather will likely seem like heaven for the freshman center. He may be happy that the team is finished with Aldrich the workouts, but that doesn't mean he struggled. "He's done better than I thought considering his size and how I did freshman year" senior center Sasha Kaun said. "He did a phenomenal job." Aldrich, a McDonald's All-American, joins guard Tyreel Reed as the only freshmen on scholarship. Reed also had a good boot camp. Both players could contribute early this season and will likely get plenty of minutes in Friday night's scrimmage. Chase Buford and Conner Teahan, the other two freshmen on the roster, are walk ons. Real Seniors Something was missing from the final game at Allen Fieldhouse last season — seniors. Not one senior played for the Jayhawks last year. Now there are five. Guard Russell Robinson, guard Jeremy Case, center Sasha Kaun, guard Brad Witherspoon and forward Darnell Jackson only have one year left to play for Kansas. The presence of seniors has already changed the team's attitude. KUCA "Guys look up to us," Robinson said, "and we appreciate that. We try to be the best example we can and they try to model us and be great basketball players with great work ethics." And Twins Marcus and Markieff Morris, twin power forwards from Philadelphia, are making their official visit to Kansas for Late Night. SCORPIO They might do more than just visit. Shay Wildeboor, senior editor for kansas. Markieff STATE BASKETBALL Marcus rivals.com, said it would not be surprising if the twins committed this weekend. Marcus and Markieff are ranked as the 37th and 74th best prospects in the class of 2008 respectively.

The rest of the Big 12 schools don't even have an open practice Friday night to start the season. Kansas' Late Night in the Phog is different. the beginning of the madness Few schools can match the fan passion and atmosphere present in Allen Fieldhouse for Late Night, making the night a valuable recruiting tool for the Jayhawks. "After that first one, it's something else," senior guard Russell Robinson said. Kansas may have one of the best evenings to celebrate the beginning of basketball, but it wasn't the first school to do it. No one had heard of Late Night or Midnight Madness until Lefty Dreisell came up with the idea in 1970. Most teams didn't start practicing until the afternoon of Oct.15, the first day Kansas' Late Night tradition has been strong since the era of former coach Roy Williams. During the last years of his tenure, the Fieldhouse was nearly packed to capacity every season for the midnight scrimmage. The same has been true during the NCAA allowed practice back then Driesell, then Maryland's coach, wanted to get a head start. He had his players run a nile at midnight, and a couple hundred fans showed up to watch. More came the next year, and it soon became a tradition. Kansas coach Bill Self's stint. The atmosphere sends a perfect message to recruits: 16,300 people care enough about basketball to watch a 20-minute, intra-squad scrimmage. That means Kansas has a definite advantage over schools that don't bother to put on Midnight Madness' or that don't attract many fans. "There are very few schools out there that have kept the tradition alive," said Shay Wildeboor, senior editor for kansa.rivals. — ESPN.com com. "Other schools come and go with it, but they set the bar. It's a huge tool." It helped entice freshmen Cole Aldrich and Tyre Reed. Aldrich has been to Late Night three times. Reed has been six times. "It was real impressive having it on Fall Break and seeing it still packed full," Aldrich said. "Some schools' late night may have five or 10 thousand but when they come to Kansas, it's going to be sold out if it's a championship or a scrimmage." Not all recruits get hooked after seeing Allen Fieldhouse at Late Night. Kyle Singler visited during Late Night last year and signed with Duke. Other big-time prospects, such as Jamal Sampson and Josh Childress, spurned Kansas for Pac-10 Conference schools after Late Night when Williams was coach. Markieff and Marcus Morris, twin power forwards from Philadelphia, will make their official visits to Late Night this year. They'll see the capacity crowd. They'll see students carry mock KU jerseys with their names on the back. They'll see one of the few real Late Nights. "I think it's the best atmosphere in college basketball," Reed said. "The fans here are great. The tradition is great. Everyone here loves basketball, and you can just see it by the fan support we have." basketball notes —Edited by Chris Beattie PRESEASON ALL-BIG 12 TEAM They selected junior guard Brandon Rush and sophomore forward Darrall Arthur to the preseason All Big 12 team Tuesday. Rush tore his ACL in June and said he was only 70 percent recovered. Big 12 coaches apparently aren't bothered by injuries. Arthur suffered a stress fracture this summer but has been playing for nearly two months. Junior guard Mario Chalmers and sophomore guard Sherron Collins were named Chalmers honorable mention selections. THE REST OF THE BIG 12... "We have multiple guys who deserve preseason All-Big 12 recognition, and I think it's great that we had a couple of guys land on the team with Brandon and Darrell," Kansas head coach Bill Self said in a release. "I also think Mario, Sherron, Sasha, Darnell and Russell are worth mentioning too, because I think we will be a balanced team." Nebraska's Aleks Maric, Texas' D.J. Augustin, Baylor's Curtis Jerrells and Texas A&M's Joseph Jones were also named Preseason All Big 12. Other honorable mention candidates included Kansas State's Bill Walker and Michael Beasley. Beasley was also named Preseason Freshman of the Year. Augustin was SAME OLD STORY named Preseason Player of the Year, and Missouri's DeMarre Carroll was named Preseason Newcomer of the Year. Carroll transferred to Missouri from the University of Alabama-Birmingham. Arthur was an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection last year and was also on the Big 12 All-Freshmen Team. Honors are nothing new for Rush. He's been named an All-Big 12 performer his first two season and was a Wooden Award All-American last year. He was also chosen as the Big 12 Preseason CoPlayer of the Year with former Jayhawk Julian Wright last season. Mark Dent COLLEGE FOOTBALL Kansas State reports own rules violations to NCAA The Associated Press reported that Kansas State has discovered a possible rules violation. K-State is cooperating with an NCAA investigation into its football program. The reported violations centered on a former university employee, three former football players and two current members of the team. KSU Athletics Director Tim Weiser said in a conference call with reporters that the Athletics Department started investigating allegations of extra benefits and academic misconduct after they surfaced in March. He said the former employee understood the rules and deliberately broke them.

At the end of September, the Royals had announced Bell would join the front office as a senior adviser to general manager Dayton Moore. Moore issued a statement thanking Bell for his contributions to the Royals and wishing him the best in his new job. "I'm disappointed that he's leaving the Royals, but he has apparently received an offer that is in his best interest and more in tune with what he prefers to do at this stage of his career," Moore said. Bell has also managed the Detroit Tigers (1996-98) and the Colorado Rockies (2000-02). He held the same minor league instruction position with the White Sox from 1991-1993, and will assume the job effective Nov. 1.

Sophomore middle blocker Brittany Williams will miss the rest of the season because of a torn ACL. It appears that Kansas finally gets a reprieve from its rigorous Big 12 schedule when last-place Colorado comes into the Horejsi Family Athletics Center tonight. Colorado comes into the 7 p.m. match with a 5-10 record overall and 0-7 in the Big 12. But coach Ray Bechard knows Colorado isn't a pushover. Bechard saw how Colorado whipped California, the No. 10 team in the country, 3-0 earlier this season. "It's typical of this conference," Bechard said, noting the strength of the Big 12. "They'll be very hungry to compete. We have to match that competitive fire on the other side of the net." Kansas, 9-8 and 2-5 in the Big 12, is coming off three straight losses, and is still adjusting to life without sophomore middle blocker Brittany Williams, who will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Kansas began its slide with a home loss to No. 1 Nebraska, then fell on the road to Iowa State, and lost again to Texas A&M on Saturday. Senior setter/right side hitter Emily Brown said the team needed to put their recent struggles behind them. "You have to move on. You can't sit around pout about it," Brown said. "You just have to go out and compete." LONGHORNS LOOMING Kansas will go from facing the bottom team in the Big 12 on Wednesday to one of the best on Saturday. Kansas will travel to Austin to play No. 7 Texas at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. Texas, 10-3 and 5-1 in the Big 12, is coming off a Sweet 16 appearance last season and possesses one of the top players in the country in sophomore Destinee Hooker. Hooker, an Honorable Mention All-America last year, is averaging 4.79 kills per game this season. The San Antonio native is also a track and field standout for the Longhorns. She is a two-time defending NCAA national champion in the high jump. Edited bv Amelia Freidline game previews UP NEXT Kansas (9-8, 2-5 Big 12) vs. Colorado (5-10, 0-7 Big 12) 7 p.m. PLAYERS TO WATCH Tonight Horeisi Family Athletics Center Kansas has dropped its last three matches against Colorado and trails the all-time series 33-9. Kansas Karina Garlington, freshman, out side bitter The Denver native is the only player from the state of Colorado on the team. Garlington has started six games during her freshman campaign and is averaging 1.76 kills per game with nine service aces this year. Colorado Callie Webster, junior, libero/defensive specialist Webster was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week for her play against Missouri and Nebraska last week. She averaged 6.38 digs per game in those two matches, improving her team-leading total to 4.73 digs per game. AFTER THAT... Kansas at Texas 6:30 p.m. Saturday Austin, Texas Texas swept Kansas 3-0 in both matches last season. SOCCER Team to play two matches over fall break Oklahoma, Oklahoma State come to Lawrence for weekend contests BY ALISON CUMBOW cumbow@kansan.com OKLAHOMA:TAKETWO The second game of the weekend will pit the Jayhawks against the Oklahoma Sooners. Oklahoma, like Kansas and Oklahoma State, also lost to Texas A&M this season, 1-0. The Sooners will come to Lawrence with a 5-5-2-overall record and a 1-3-conference record. The Kansas soccer team will head into fall break on a winning streak. After what seemed like a never-ending losing rut, the Jayhawks finally added to the winning side of their record. Now up to 3-8-2 overall after last weekend, the team seems poised to keep the momentum going. Kansas will host Oklahoma State on Friday at 4 p.m. and Oklahoma on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. SHOWDOWN WITH OSU The Cowgirls are 8-3-1 this season and have a 2-2-0 conference record so far. Most recently, they took home a 2-1 win against Baylor. Kansas played Baylor two weekends ago. After two overtimes, the game finally ended in a tie. Both Kansas and Oklahoma State have been handed losses by Texas A&M this season, the jayhawks lost 5-1, and the Cowgirls lost 2-1. But the Aggies are the conference's best team. A REWARD FOR WATCHING THE JAYHAWKS IN ACTION? If watching Kansas battle for its third victory isn't convincing enough for KU fans, the Kansas Athletics Department has come up with an extra incentive to see the Jayhawks in action on Friday night. The first 1,000 fans who make it to the game before the first half ends will receive a voucher for guaranteed admission to Late Night in the Phog.

KANSAS --- 4B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2007 COMMENTARY Best of both sports Last year, the University of Florida won both the men's NCAA championships in basketball and football. This was something that had never been done before in the history of college athletics. Many other Division I schools have had strong programs in both sports as well, including Big XII schools Oklahoma and Texas. Nevertheless,why is it so hard for schools to have elite programs in the two major money making sports? BY ERICA JOHNSON KANSAN COLUMNIST FJOHNSON@KANSAN.COM This year, several schools have made a case as to why their football programs are some of the best in the nation, just as their basketball programs are year in and year out. Kansas has started the season off with a 5-0 record and its first Top-25 ranking in 11 years. Ever since head coach Mark Mangino arrived on campus, he has said that this school was going to be a football and basketball school. Looks like his words are finally coming true. Several other supposed "basketball schools" have also fared well so far this season. Kentucky is 5-1 and ranked No. 17 in the country, while Boston College and Cincinnati have each started the year off undefeated at 6-0, ranked fourth and 15th respectively. just because a school is well-known for basketball doesn't mean that it has (or ever will have) the reputation for football. Duke is a perfect example. Here is a school that prided itself on being one of the elite men's basketball programs each year, but its football program just recently broke a 22-game losing streak. I always wondered why some big-named, money-making basketball schools? Kansas (5-0, 1-0) Cincinnati (6-0, 1-0) Connecticut (5-0, 1-0) Indiana (5-1, 2-1) Illinois (5-1, 3-0) Kentucky (5-1, 1-1) Maryland (4-2, 1-1) Boston College (6-0, 3-0) schools just aren't competitive in both basketball and football, but I think it's simple — it is hard to build a strong reputation to include all the star athletes on one campus. In addition, if the sports complexes are not there either, then the top recruits are going to need a lot more convincing on why they should choose that school over some recognized powerhouse Coach Mangino has done a good job of making the football program more respected and recognized throughout his tenure at Kansas. He started with the baby steps of winning as many games as he could while trying to figure out ways to bring in the personnel and coaches who would push his teams along and find even more victories. In his five years as being head coach, he has had three bowl-eligible teams, including both of the past two seasons. Maybe it will be three in a row? But let's not get too ahead of ourselves here. There is still a lot of football to be played in the next few weekends, and a ton of things could happen. Everyone will be keeping their fingers crossed for many more victories to come. But if a meltdown suddenly occurs, there is always basketball season. - Edited by Amelia Freidline COMMENTARY Let future's team play now Giving youngsters may lead to World Cup titles later A week from today the U.S.Men's National Team will face Switzerland, a country more renowned for its chocolate than its soccer, in its second international friendly on European soil this year. While the Swiss may not have the firepower Sweden troted out with Inter Milan's golden striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, they are no pushover. The team was eliminated from the 2006 World Cup without conceding a goal, losing on penalties. The U.S. team will find it difficult to break its streak of European disappointment. Those bemoaning the roster selection despite the lack of European success are missing the big picture. U.S. coach Bob Bradley understands that developing players like Adu, Zizzo and Michael Bradley could be part of the foundation that competes for the 2010 World Cup in South Much to the chagrin of those desperate for a win, the 21 players named to the initial roster have a distinctively young flavor as players like Sal Zizzo, Chris Seitz, Danny Szetela, Preston Zimmerman and Maurice Edu will get a chance to experience national team culture and competition. All but Zimmerman and Edu competed in the Under-20 World Cup during the summer. Oct 17, 1:30 p.m. Televised on Fox Soccer Channel, Sunflower Cable channel 149 Full roster at ussoccer.com USA vs Switzerland BY ANDREW WIEBE KANSAN COLUMNIST AWIEBE@KANSAN.COM Africa. The only way to guarantee that they understand what is required to be successful is to include them in any successes or failures. Although finally succeeding on foreign soil should be a priority, Bradley recognizes the need to acclimate precocious U.S. talent to the rigors of international play. Even if the youngsters play second fiddle to the more established veterans called in, it's important to expose them Messi or Wayne Rooney in the group. But it's impossible to know what to expect from the young charges without giving them the chance to play. Odds are some of these players will become crucial cogs of the national team setup in the future. There is no better time than now to gauge their abilities. The players who competed at the under-20 World Cup represent the next generation of American soccer. to the speed and quality of play necessary to succeed on the world stage as well as introduce them to the tendencies and habits of their more experienced teammates. With the Major League Soccer playoff chase winding down, clubs can't afford to have national team regulars like Landon Donovan, Jimmy Conrad, Eddie Johnson and Pablo Mastroenno missing games for a meaningless friendly. Furthermore, because the game will be played in Switzerland, The players who competed at the under-20 World Cup represent the next generation of American soccer. The sooner they begin competing against the team's current stalwarts the more prepared they will be when their chance presents itself. It's a strategy that the world's most successful sides often employ to maintain a talent base that doesn't become over-reliant on established players. That's not to say there are any players in the mold of a Lionel ANDREW WIEBE Kansan columnist Either way the inclusion of young talent bodes well for Bradley and U.S. fans it makes more logistic sense to use European-based players rather than their MLS counterparts. in both the short and long term. The inclusion of young players shows how deep the current talent pool is compared with years past. By including so many new faces, Bradley ensures his options in the future makeup of his squad as the World Cup approaches. Fortunately for U.S. fans Bradley understands the difference between average international teams and ones challenging for trophies. By identifying and developing fresh talent he is taking steps to make certain the U.S. will one day belong with the latter Edited by Luke Morris Falcons get $20 million from Vick in arbitration ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons are entitled to recover nearly $20 million in bonus money paid to disgraced quarterback Michael Vick, an arbitrator ruled Tuesday. The players' union vowed to appeal. NFL Stephen B. Burbank, the University of Pennsylvania law professor and special master who led last week's arbitration hearing, sided with the team after hearing from Falcons president and general manager Rich McKay and attorneys from the NFL Players Association, which represented Vick. Any money the Falcons recover from Vick would be credited to its future salary cap, a huge step in recovering from the loss of the team's franchise player. Atlanta (1-4) is off to a dismal start with Joey Harrington at quarterback. charges for his role in a long-running dogfighting operation, knew he was in violation of the contract when he signed a $130 million deal in December 2004. The Falcons argued that Vick, who pleaded guilty to federal "We are certainly pleased with today's ruling," the Falcons said in a statement. "It is the first step in a process that our club has undertaken in an attempt to recoup significant salary cap space that will allow us to continue to build our football team today and in future years." The team said he used proceeds from the contract to fund his illicit activities and sought the repayment of $19,970,000 in bonuses he was paid out of a total of $22.5 million in 2005 and '06. Vick was suspended indefinitely without pay by the NFL after entering into his plea agreement. He also lost millions in lucrative endorsement deals. "We have reviewed the decision handed down by Special Master Stephen Burbank and believe it is incorrect," the NFLPA said in a statement. "We will now appeal his rulings." The case goes to U.S. District Court Judge David Doty in Minneapolis, who still has jurisdiction over the antitrust suit filed by players following the 1987 strike. Associated Press >> FANTASY FOOTBALL Quarterbacks disappoint owners CITY OF DENVER BY KELY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM 27 Because of fall break, all of your fantasy football news has to be cramped into one day's dosage. This weekend had its share of surprises and sets up some interesting scenarios for next week's games. Kansas City's Larry Johnson has been a bust for his fantasy football owners. On Sunday against Jacksonville, Johnson rushed for only 12 yards on nine carries. WEEK 5 REVIEW THE BEST ASSOCIATED PRESS I could not choose a quarterback for top performances this week because both quartersbirds who threw for more than 300 yards, The Packers' Brett Favre and the Cowboys' Tony Romo, had more interceptions than touchdowns. Favre's team lost and Romo's Cowboys barely scraped by with the victory. Here are the top players who did play well. Larry Fitzgerald, WR Arizona — After wading through the quagmire that was the beginning of the season, the Arizona wide receiver has found his Pro Bowl form. Fitzgerald had nine catches for 136 yards and one touchdown. It will be interesting to see whether he can keep his production up. Ben Watson, TE New England — The Patriots' tight end was Tom Brady's main target on Sunday. Watson recorded six catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns. Watson has asserted himself as one of the top tight ends in the NFL this season. Kenton Keith, RB Indianapolis — The Colts had to play without starting running back Joseph Addai on Sunday. You could hardly tell though, as Keith filled in superbly, Keith had 28 carries for 121 yards and two touchdowns. If Addai is out again, the Colts can rely on Keith for another big game. Kris Brown, K Houston — Who? The kicker the Steelers gave up on and let slide to the Texans in their expansion year in 2002. On Sunday he had a huge game. He made all five — count 'em — five field goals he attempted including three of more than 50 yards. He hit the game-winning 57-yard field goal as time expired that gave the Texans their third victory of the season. THE WORST Terrell Owens, WR Dallas — The Cowboys' wide receiver faced a passing defense that, after Monday night, was ranked last 1. in the NFL. Owens had only two receptions for 25 yards and multiple dropped passes. Owens almost cost the Cowboys the game as well. He could not hold onto the pass for the two-point conversion that would have tied the game. The Cowboys did get the win though, and Owens will test his skills against New England next week. Larry Johnson, RB Kansas City — The Chiefs as a team had a terrible performance on Sunday. Johnson, the running back, added to the offense's decline. Johnson had nine carries for 12 yards and has not looked at all like the running back he was last year. If the Chiefs want to have any success this year, Johnson will have to be a big part of it. WEEK 6 PREVIEW Jon Kitna, QB Detroit — Before the season began, Kitna predicted a 10-win season. He had the offense playing like a team that could get 10 wins, but the Lions took a step back on Sunday. Kitna completed only 16 of his 29 passes for 106 yards, while throwing two interceptions, fumbling twice and being sacked five times. Kitna is the anchor of the Lions' passing game and will need to get the offense back in form for their next game. This weekend will prove a lot. The undefeated Cowboys host the undefeated Patriots. Here's who will please and disappoint this weekend. BIG GAMERS Ronnie Brown, RB Miami — Brown has jump-started the running game for the Dolphins, going for more than 100 yards rushing in the last two games. Brown and the Dolphins face a Cleveland team that is 30th in the NFL in rushing defense. All this adds up to a big day for Brown. Matt Hasselbeck, QB Seattle The Seattle quarterback will be going against the 19th ranked passing defense of New Orleans on Sunday. Hasselbeck has had a steady season so far and playing a porous New Orleans secondary should open up big things for him, especially if Shaun Alexander and the running game are fine. NO GAMERS Matt Schaub, QB Houston — The Texans' quarterback will face a Jacksonville defense that is seventh in the NFL in passing defense. The Miami defense was able to bend but not break against the Houston passing game, but Jacksonville may break it completely, especially if Andre Johnson is not back on the field. Donald Driver, WR Green Bay — The Packers have to play the Redskins on Sunday. The Redskins have the third best total defense in the NFL and Driver has been slumping lately. It could be a long day for Driver.

Baylor's 20-point loss led to booing by its home fans. Bears face booing at home BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Most teams would dread playing in Lawrence this weekend. After all, a crowd of around 50,000 fans will fill Memorial Stadium eager to welcome a newly ranked Kansas team home. But after what happened to Baylor at its stadium last Saturday during a 43-23 defeat to Colorado, the change of scenery may be encouraging. Not many fans attended the thrashing at Floyd Casey Stadium, only 32,276, but they were more than loud enough in voicing their frustration by booing the Bears in the final half. "It's just a sign of the times these days," Baylor coach Guy Morriss said. "When you're a paid professional and get booed, it's one thing. But when you're a college kid, let's not forget these are nothing but big kids." In defense of the fans, Baylor real ly hasn't shown much to cheer about in 2007. Two Big 12 opponents in a row have left the Bears behind en route to massive victories. Baylor's three wins have come against teams with a combined record of 4-12. Years of pent-up dissatisfaction also reside in Baylor fans. The Bears haven't appeared in a bowl game in 13 years, the longest streak in the conference by 11 years. Morriss was hired to make instances like booming a thing of the past. But not much has changed five years into his tenure. "Nobody likes to get booed, it's just human nature." Morriss said. "They were probably booing me more than the kids, I guess, but the kids hear and it affects them." Baylor's offense has amassed enough yards to make it competitive. Junior quarterback Blake Szymanski ranks ninth in the nation in total offense with 324 yards per game. But it's the details that have haunted the Bears. They've given away more turnovers than they've forced, committed more than six penalties a game and aren't particularly efficient on special teams. "It's a combination of all that stuff: false starts, holding, poor throws, dropped passes, dumb penalties," Morris said. "We seem so intent on beating ourselves and we have to get them through that. We certainly aren't teaching that stuff by any means." Morriss said there would be extra emphasis on limiting penalties in practice this week. He also said if the Bears can improve on those things, he feels they have enough firepower to play with anyone in the Big 12. He doesn't need to convince Kansas coach Mark Mangino. Despite the turmoil brewing in Waco, Mangino said that viewing Baylor's game films made it obvious that the Bears are capable of better results through the rest of the year. "Baylor is a very, very good offensive football team," Mangino said. "They are a formidable team and better than their 3-3 record shows." The Bears may not have appreciated their fans' display of disgust last weekend. But if the Kansas fans are booing them in the second half on Saturday, it should be good news because it would mean they are still in the game. football notes PLAYERS OF THE WEEK — Edited by Luke Morris Coach Mark Mangino announced Kansas's players of the week.

BORDER SHOWDOWN SELLING OUT ANOTHER TV GAME? Less than 1,500 tickets remain available for the Nov. 24 Border Showdown versus Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. No. 11 Missouri and No. 20 Kansas are each currently 5-0. Despite sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton's repeated struggles at punt return last Saturday, coach Mark Mangino PUNT RETURNS said he had not reevaluated the position. Freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe replaced Pendleton late in the last game but Pendleton is currently listed as the starter. On the season, Pendleton is averaging 12 yards per punt return and has scored one touchdown. FOCUSING ON NOW Though the Jayhawks sit just one victory shy of bowl eligibility and two wins short of being assured a bowl篮, the players and coaches have not started looking beyond the Big 12 schedule.The coaching staff does not set any specific numerical goals, instead choosing to focus on fundamentals and on-field performance, Mangino said. Freshman cornerback Chris Harris said the coaches tried to keep the players focused on the team's next game.

Cornerbacks wilt in the face of the pressure that comes with one-on-one coverage, linebackers neglect their assignments in the run game and safeties stay preoccupied with not allowing the deep pass. The Baylor Bears' passing game is frighteningly versatile, but it doesn't worry Kansas junior cornerback Agib Talib. --- Talib "It just means that however many times they throw the ball - 55, 60 – we'll have 55 or 60 opportunities to get our hands on the ball," Talib said. So far this season, Baylor has done a decent job of keeping the ball out of the hands of opposing defensive backs. Sophomore quarterback Blake Szymanski's 302.5 passing yards per game ranks third in the Big 12 Conference and his touchdown-interception ratio is 5-3. DARRELL STUCKEY Sophomore free safety "We're excited to go up against a team that passes a lot so we can show what we can truly do." The offense designed by Baylor coach Guy Morriss is based on throwing short, quick passes and spreading ball to a number of different receivers. Sixteen Baylor players have caught one or more passes this season and eight players have hauled in more than 10. T he re v a m p e d Kansas second-ary is allowing just 161 passing yards per game, which is first in the Big 12 and eighth Kansas coach Mark Mangino said the Bears had played better than their 3-3 record would suggest so far this season and that their offense would test the Kansas pass defense. have helped out in third-down situations.

So, that's it for the Bulldogs, right? Hardly. The SEC East is a microcosm of college football's wild, wild year, with standings that look all out of whack and each of the six teams already with at least one conference loss. South Carolina, which has a grand total of one conference championship in football (and that was long before the Gamecocks joined the SEC), is holding down first place and is ranked No. 7 in the country. No.17 Kentucky is right in the thick of things, and it's not even basketball season yet. Meanwhile, traditional football powerhouses Florida and Georgia already have two conference losses apiece, though that's not enough to knock them out of the race. Heck, they've got as good a shot as anyone else to be playing on that first Saturday of December at the SEC Championship game in Atlanta. "Usually by now," Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer said, "it's down to a couple of teams." Even perennial bring-up-the-rear Vanderbilt remains hopeful, knowing that its 1-2 record in the SEC puts the Commodores in about the same position as everyone else. "The way the league is this year, you just never know." Vandy cornerback Myron Lewis said. "Two losses doesn't eliminate you. And since we haven't played anyone in the East yet, we still feel like we can do some things." Before you go off on Lewis for failing to understand the realities of college football, such as Vanderbilt's last winning season coming a quarter-century ago, keep this in mind: Would the Commodores contending for a conference title be any "It's just not the way it was, with certain teams being a little bit better than most and certain teams not being as good as most," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "There's just a lot more equality out there. There's a lot of skilled guys who can make plays and a lot of coaches who know what they're doing." One of those coaches is Steve Spurrier, who guided Florida to six SEC titles and one national championship during an era in which there was a lot more predictability to the standings. The Gators dominated the East during the early half of the 1990s, Tennessee came on strong in the latter part of the decade, and Georgia became a perennial contender soon after Right took over in 2001. Actually, it was Spurrier who helped to open things up a bit when he left for a mediocre stint with the NFLS Washington Redskins from 2002 to 2003. Florida dropped off during the fireronzoook.com era, and Georgia was the main beneficary. Two years ago, Spurrier returned to the college game to coach South Carolina, which went through most of its history without winning a bowl game and captured its only championship as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1969. Suddenly, the Gamecocks have the look of a contender. In just more than two years on the job, Spurrier has already beaten each of the "Big Three" — Florida, Tennessee and Georgia — and even started to needle some of his rivals, just like he did when he had those powerhouse teams down in the Swamp. "We may have a chance at a big year," Spurrier said. "But right now, we feel pretty fortunate to be 5-1 starting the second half of this 12-game season." He's wise to hedge his bets. While the gamecocks lead the SEC East with a 3-1 conference record, their only loss coming in a competitive game at No. 1 LSU, there's a perilous three-week stretch remaining. South Carolina travels to No. 25 Tennessee (3-2, 1-1) on Oct. 27, then goes to West Division rival Arkansas on Nov. 3, and finally returns home to face No. 13 Florida (4-2, 2-2) on Nov. 10. The defending national champions have likely knocked themselves out of the race for No.1 with two straight losses. But the Gators certainly haven't given up on capturing another SEC East title, and possibly getting another crack at LSU after the Tigers edged Florida in a 28-24 thriller this past weekend. "The older players, we did talk about that," Gators coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday evening. "I actually took a glance at it as well and saw that everyone has a loss. That tells you that every game is going to matter. It's single elimination, and it's exciting." Florida has the week off before heading to Lexington to take on surprising Kentucky (5-1, 1-1), which had surged into the Top 10 before a sloppy loss at South Carolina last week. Tim Tebow, the Gators' do-it-all quarterback, actually believes the Gators still have a chance at more than just an SEC East title, even with two losses. "It's motivation. We're still in the race," he said. "And the way college football is going this season, if we finish out well, we might have a shot at everything." Georgia (4-2, 2-2) isn't thinking about titles of any kind after an up- and down first half of the season. The young Bulldogs must rebound from an embarrassing 35-14 loss at Tennessee when they hit the road again to take on Vanderbilt. "It is kind of crazy," Georgia safety Reshad Jones said. "But it's a marathon. It's not where you start, it's where you finish." MEAT, NO PRESCRIPTION NEEDED. How our meat is raised, naturally, makes all the difference.

Huard injured his shoulder Sunday against Jacksonville, but the MRI showed no damage. Huard may start Sunday BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Damon Huard's MRI showed no damage to his injured shoulder and the veteran may be ready to start at quarterback Sunday against Cincinnati, Kansas City coach Herm Edwards said Tuesday. "We'll go through practice (on Wednesday) and see what he can do," Edwards said. "He feels a lot better. He's worked out the last two days." Huard, 34, sustained what the Chiefs said was a shoulder contusion on Sunday in a 17-7 loss to Jacksonville in which Kansas City rushed for only 10 yards. Backup Brodie Croyle, a second-year pro the Chiefs have been hoping to make their quarterback of the future, replaced Huard in the fourth quarter and threw a 13-yard touchdown pass on the final play. "Damon felt OK today, but he hasn't thrown," Edwards said Tuesday. "So we'll have to see where he's at throwing the ball. And we'll go through our practice schedule like we always do. Brodie always takes a lot of (practice plays). If Damon can do it and he feels good, then he'll go." Whoever steps in at quarterback will be directing what has been thus far one of the NFL's most feeble attacks. The Chiefs (2-3) are averaging a paltry 66 yards rushing per game — what used to be a decent first half for Larry Johnson. And Johnson? The two-time Pro Bowler is 22nd on this week's league rushing charts with only 275 yards. He has a very meager 3.3 yard average per carry and has scored, in five games, not a single touchdown. If the NFL kept track of number of helmets hurled to the ground in anger and disgust, Johnson would be among the league leaders. The sometimes-moody running back has been criticized for his flashes of temper as well as his sharply declining production after missing training camp and signing a six-year, $45 million deal.

Runners vomit, collapse in race MARATHON The boom began back in the 1970s when runners Bill Rogers and Frank Shorter helped make marathons popular in the United States. BY MICHAEL TARM ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — There are young ones, old ones, thin ones and fat ones. Some show up in chicken suits, others in G-strings. There are highly trained athletes, of course, but also many people who look like a starting line is, well, the last place they should be. "Today,the marathonhasbecome the everyday man's or woman's Mount Everest," said Richard Finn, the spokesman for the New York Road Runners, which organizes the New York City Marathon. "It's a physical challenge; it's something you can be proud of — beat your chest about later." These days, big-city marathons cast an increasingly wide net, drawing tens of thousands of serious and not-so-serious runners to prestigious races in New York, Chicago, Boston and elsewhere. The incentive to draw as many people as possible is clear enough: The 26.2-mile marathons generate millions of dollars for cities that host them, as well as for the sporting-goods industry. But the extreme runs can also be dangerous, as evidenced by the hundreds of runners who suffered heat exhaustion and heat stroke during Sunday's race in Chicago. "The bottom line is marathons today are big business," said Patrick Moscariitolo, head of the Greater The Chicago Marathon, which has no qualification requirements, has grown from around 16,000 Boston_Convention_and_Visitors Bureau. But after a brutally hot Chicago Marathon descended into disarray this past weekend — with hundreds of runners vomiting or collapsing and organizers forced to call off the race — questions have been raised about whether marathons have become too all-inclusive and too focused on money. --- They certainly have grown — and fast. The number of people taking part in the Boston Marathon, for instance, has more than doubled over the past decade, despite the race requiring qualifying times for most runners. From 1997 to 2007, the number of runners grew from 10,471 to 23,869, said Boston Marathon spokesman Marc Chalufour. Iorre may be done with Yankees ASSOCIATED PRESS 》 MLB NY NEW YORK — As Joe Borowski and the Cleveland Indians celebrated out on the infield, Joe Torre walked up the tunnel from the New York Yankees dugout toward the clubhouse — perhaps for the final time. Thoughts of another season ending early went through his mind. "it's such an empty feeling," he said. "You think it's going to last forever." While the Indians' 6-4 victory in Game 4 Monday night advanced them to the AL championship series, the Yankees wondered whether it was the end of an era — for Torre, and perhaps Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens, too. George Steinbrenner's title lust remains unsatisfied, and Torre might be swept out. He sounded wistful in what may have been his final night in pinstripes. He wouldn't address his future. "This has been a great 12 years. Whatever the hell happens from here on out, I'll look back on these 12 years with great, great pleasure," he said, as he tried to avoid choking up. "The 12 years just felt like they were 10 minutes long, to be honest with you." New York Yankees manager Joe Torre watches from the dugout against the Cleveland Indians during Game 4 of an American League Division Series baseball game on Monday at Yankee Stadium in New York.

Dejagah, a German from Iran descent, refused to participate in Friday's under-21 soccer match between Germany and Israel for "political reasons." German player refuses to compete SOCCER Iranian-born Dejagah cites 'political reasons' for refusal to play in Israel BY KIRSTEN GRIESHABER ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — An Iranian-born German soccer player's refusal to play in Israel has sparked a public outcry in Germany, with some Jewish leaders calling Tuesday for his exclusion from the German national team. Ashkan Dejagah, who moved to Germany as a child, pulled out of Friday's game in Tel Aviv — a qualification match for the European Under-21 Championship — citing "political reasons." "I have more Iranian than German blood in my veins. I am doing it out of respect. After all, my parents are Iranian," the 21-year-old midfielder told the Berlin daily tabloid B.Z. The German soccer federation has accepted his decision. "I have accepted the coach's decision because he explained to me that the player has personal reasons," President Theo Zwanziger said in a statement posted to the federation Web site. He did not immediately return repeated calls for comment Tuesday. The president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Charlotte Knobloch, called Dejagah's Dejagah. The vice president of the Central Council, Dieter Graumann, told "I have more Iranian than German blood in my veins. I am doing it out of respect. After all, my parents are Iranian." ASHKAN DEJAGAH Soccer player for Germany behavior "deeply unsportsmanlike." Germany is "aware of its historical responsibility ... and it would be a big affront if this anti-Israeli behavior would be tolerated," Knobloch said in a statement. "I therefore expect the (soccer federation) to exclude the player from the German national team." Spiegel Online it was unthinkable for a German national player to wage a private boycott against Israel. It is not the first time an Iranian athlete has refused to compete in Israel, a country whose existence the hard-line Islamic regime in Iran has refused to recognize. In recent months, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has drawn international criticism for publicly questioning the Nazi Holocaust and for calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map." In 2004, Bayern Munich played a Champions League game against Maccabi Tel Aviv without a key Iranian player who had been warned by his country not to travel to the Jewish state. The Iranian sports federation had said striker Vahid Hashemian would face consequences at home if he traveled to Israel. Hashemian's official reason for not attending the game was a back injury. During the 2004 Olympics Games in Athens, an Iranian judo champion reportedly said he wouldn't fight an Israeli opponent, then claimed he was too overweight for the bout with Israel's Ehud Vaks. He was disqualified. The International Judo Federation later concluded that he was not overweight. At the 2001 judo world championships, Mahed Malekmohammadi of Iran did not compete against Yoel Razvozof of Israel. >> NHL Carolina beats Toronto with 7-goal onslaught ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO — Matt Cullen scored for the first time since returning to the Hurricanes, and six others added goals in Carolina's 7-1 rout of the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. Cullen, traded back to Carolina during the summer after one season with the New York Rangers, scored a power-play goal that gave the Hurricanes a 3-1 lead in the second period. Justin Williams, Cory Stillman, Ray Whitney, Scott Walker, Jeff Hamilton and Eric Alsa also scored against goalie Vesa Toskala. Williams, Stillman, Cullen and Rod BrindAmour each had two assists. Bryan McCabe scored the only Toronto goal. Mats Sundin's assist on McCabe's goal was his 916th point with the Maple Leafs, tying him with Daryl Sittler for the club record. The thoughts of both teams and the announced crowd of 19,224 were with Maple Leafs forward Jason Blake, who played his first game since going public with the news Monday that he is battling chronic myelogenous leukemia — a rare form of the disease. He is being treated with medication and doesn't expect to miss any playing time. Blake looked strong when he checked Tim Gleason against the end boards in the game's opening minute. Toronto had a two-man advantage when McCabe opened the scoring at 4:21. Sundin sent a cross-ice pass into the circle to the left of the net to McCabe, who smacked the puck behind goalie Cam Ward. Williams tied it at 6:46 by sending a wrist shot past Toskala as the goalie dropped to his knees. Blake nearly scored his first goal as a Leaf when he tipped a pass, but Ward made the save. Stillman put Carolina up 2-1 with a power-play goal 23.8 seconds before the end of the period. Stillman made his season debut after missing three games following a car accident. Cullen made it 3-1 at 11:41 of the second period. He was a few feet in front of Toskala when he deflected in Stillmans pass as Darcy Tucker served an interference penalty. Whitney made it 4-1 when he slipped a shot between Toskala's legs on a breakaway at 17:23. CLEVELAND — Ray Chapman's spirit could be floating the Cleveland Indians through a season unlike any other in their history. Strange, unexplainable, improbable, head-scratching events have surrounded this team for months, beginning almost from the moment the Indians rediscovered a lost piece of Chapman's legacy. Unexpected snowstorms, thrilling comebacks, unlikely heroes, invading bugs who swarmed the New York Yankees in the playoffs. It's been downright eerie for the Indians, who play their home games a few tape-measure home runs from the shores of Lake Erie. Improbable haunts Indians And Chapman, a popular short-stop killed by a pitch that struck him in the head on Aug. 17, 1920, has hung around to witness it all. BY TOM WITHERS ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB In March, when the Indians opened Heritage Park, a walkthrough exhibit beyond the center-field wall at Jacobs Field honoring the club's storied history, a forgotten plaque of Chapman was unveiled and mounted on a wall Last week, millions of tiny insects called "midges," descended upon the Jake in Game 2 of the playoffs and buzzed Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain, who threw two wild pitches in the eighth inning to help the Indians tie it 1-1 in a game they'd win 2-1 in 11 innings. On Sept. 26, the Indians, who will meet the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS starting Friday, were the "home" team at Seattle's Safeco Field — three home games in three cities. the season. More bad weather sent the Indians to Milwaukee to play their next "home" series against the Los Angeles Angels under Miller Park's roof. Raymond Johnson Chapman's grave sits under a giant maple tree at historic Lake View Cemetery, where President James A. Garfield, famed detective Eliot Ness and industrialist John D. Rockefeller are among the other famously interred. Cleveland didn't take over first place in the AL Central for good until Aug. 17 — the 87th anniversary of Chapman's death. "This team," manager Eric Wedge said, "has seen it all." The club's home opener on April 6 was postponed when a freak spring storm dumped more than 2 feet of lake-effect snow on Cleveland, which until that point had been enjoying a rare, mild winter. 9-week and 17-week sessions sterting soon. Most general education courses transfer to Kansas Regent schools. Chapman's tragic saga had been reborn, "Weirdest thing I've ever seen," said Jim Folk, the club's vice president of ballpark operations. "By far."

(after presented by THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 10B GAME DAY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2007 KU KICK-OFF ATAGLANCI In coach Mark Mangino's first five seasons at Kansas, he has presided over several exciting offenses and strong defensive units, but never before has he enjoyed both at the same time. The 2007 Jayhawks could be Mangino's first team that gets the job done on both sides of the ball and the most balanced bunch to grace Memorial Stadium in quite some time. The team's potent offense and sturdy defense have paid dividends so far — the Jayhawks are 5-0 and sitting atop the Big 12 standings.

He has a tough job ahead of him Saturday; shadowing Baylor senior QUESTION MARKS Will Kansas keep its mental edge? Mangino has repeatedly praised his team's ability to overcome adversity and the mental edge his players possessed. Will Kansas be able to sift through all of the positive press clippings and stay focused on the game? How creative will Ed Warinner get? So far this season, the adventurous Kansas offensive coordinator has done everything short of stepping onto the field himself, but it feels like he could have a few more play-calling tricks up his sleeve.

BAYLOR 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Memorial Stadium No.20 Kansas 5-0,1-0 Big 12 Conference OFFENSE The bad news: the Jayhawk offense did not display nearly as much precision against Kansas State as it had earlier in the season. The good news: the offense was still balanced and efficient enough to score 30 points and gain nearly six yards per play against a proven KSU defense. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson has not slowed down since starting the season strong, and sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing has shown a remarkable capability to lead teammates through adversity. ★★★☆ DEFENSE Faced with its first true challenge of the season last weekend at Kansas State, the Kansas defense performed admirably. Sure, there was an inexecutable illegal substitution penalty that almost cost the Jayhawks the game, and junior cornerback Aqib Talib actually got burned by a receiver, Kansas State's Jordy Nelson. But senior defensive tackle James McClinton showed why he is considered one of the Big 12's best run-stoppers, as the Jayhawks allowed just 70 rushing yards. ★★★★ The unit that started the season as a definite strength has become the Jayhawks' most glaring flaw. Both the punt coverage and punt return teams were abysmal against Kansas State. Senior punter Kyle Tucker averaged just 32.5 yards per punt, though most came against a strong wind. Sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton looked disoriented every time he tried to field a punt. Freshman linebacker Dakota Lewis committed a costly roughing the kicker penalty. And a failed extra point attempt made Kansas' slim fourth-quarter lead six points instead of seven. SPECIAL TEAMS ★★☆★★ MOMENTUM It's safe to say the Jayhawks have some steam heading into their second conference matchup. The team is coming off of an emotional upset of its in-state rival — probably the biggest win of the Mark Mangino era and is ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in 11 seasons. Everything is falling into place for Kansas football. ★★★★ COACHING In retrospect, the Jayhawks' offensive coaches may have outsmarted themselves last Saturday. The team killed a promising second half drive when it failed to convert on a fourth-and-one deep in Kansas State territory. On the other hand, Mangino kept Kansas State guessing by using strange personnel combinations and throwing the ball to Talib and sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier. And any coach who orchestrates a 5-0 start deserves quite a bit of credit. Asher Fusco Jake Sharp ★★★★☆ Baylor 3-3,0-2 Big12 Conference OFFENSE ★★★☆★ The Bears passing game: outstanding. The Bears rushing game: awful. Two years ago, then-sophomore running back Brandon Whitaker emerged as a playmaker by averaging 4.8 yards per carry. But Whitaker has never reached the potential he showed then and only averages 3.6 yards per carry this year. Now, Whitaker is more of a receiving threat out of the backfield and leads the team with 24 receptions. He is one of many target for sophomore quarterback Blake Szymanski, who averages 302 yard per game. Four receivers have caught at least 15 passes. SPECIAL TEAMS The Bearss rank 95th in the nation in net punting. Kicker Shea Brewster has converted only three of seven field goals. Baylor's kick returners average fewer than 17 yards per return. The only good news for Baylor is that Kansas' special teams looked just as bad in its win against Kansas State. The only way Baylor can win the field-position battle through special teams is if the Jayhawks woes continue. The Baylor defense's struggles appear mysterious when considering the amount of talent. Earlier in the season, the defense allowed 27 points to an FCS opponent, Texas State, and 20 points to inept FBS opponent Buffalo. But sophomore middle linebacker Joe Pawelek is an All-American candidate. Senior Nick Moore plays directly adjacent to Pawelek as the other linebacker and flies to the ball. In Baylor's base 4-2-5 defensive scheme, many defensive backs rotate into the game, including free safety Jordan Lake, who has returned from a collar bone injury to lead the team in tackles and interceptions. KANSAS 1 DEFENSE ★★★★ ★☆☆☆ MOMENTUM The Bears have lost their last two games by a combined score of 77-33. Their offense is suddenly sputtering and showing signs of slowing down at certain the Bears because the defense is simply incapable of shouldering the load. However, if the Bears can produce a couple big plays early against a highly-touted Jayhawk secondary, their confidence could quickly spike back up. ★★★ ☆☆☆ COACHING For four years, no one questioned whether Guy Morriss was the right guy for the job in Waco, Texas. Morriss coached Baylor to its first victory against a top-25 opponent in the Big 12 in 2004, brought Baylor its first-ever Big 2 road victories in 2005 and only missed bowl eligibility by one game in 2006. But now Morriss is in the middle of his fifth year and has compiled only an 18-34 overall record for the Bears. The program has improved, but to what extent? ★★★☆★★ Case Keefer BAYLOR KICK-OFF ATAGLANCI Baylor returns to Lawrence for the first time since 2003 on Saturday following consecutive losses to Big 12 opponents. The Bears and Jayhawks have played five times since joining the conference. The home team has won each game. Behind dangerous quarterback Blake Szymanski, the Bears look to put an end to that pattern.

The sophomore had to win his job in training camp and now is turning into the catalyst the defense needs. Lake has recorded Lake TOMMY 55 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries on the season. QUESTION MARKS How will the "air raid" offense work against Kansas? The Jayhawk secondary has been ferocious against the pass this season. But all the Bears know how to do offensively is pass and pass some more. 》 How will the defense stop Brandon McAnderson and Jake Sharp? Big, physical running backs have tormented the Bears so far this year. Under-sized, quick running backs have done similar damage. They face both on Saturday.

But the Kansas Jayhawks spent the rest of Saturday afternoon making up for lost time and delivering an emphatic blowout victory that extended the Kansas winning streak to six games, ensured bowl eligibility and helped push the team to No.13 in the BCS standings. After a 98-minute pregame rain delay and a 30-minute lightning delay in the first quarter, Kansas (6-0, 2-0 Big 12) defeated Baylor (3-4, 0-3) 58-10. Strong thunderstorms steadily pummeled Memorial Stadium throughout the morning, soaking the turf and driving both teams' players to the shelter of the locker rooms. Kansas did not burst out of the gate when the game finally started, instead relying on special teams and defense to spark a slow, steady and convincing victory. "It got to be kind of a long day," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "I was just concerned about the kids wearing down in the second half a little bit, but they didn't. They were very focused, and I think they handled the delays very well because we didn't make a big deal about it." Neither team emerged from the extensive pregame delay looking sharp. Kansas lost two yards on its first possession, and Baylor gained just four yards on its first drive before punting.

ODD NEWS Men wrangle 11-foot shark during fishing tournament DESTIN, Fla. Six friends went to a fishing tournament looking to catch some grouper. They caught an 844-pound shark instead. The fight by Adlee Bruner and friends to pull the 11-foot mako shark onto the boat from the Gulf of Mexico took more than an hour. But when they made it back to land, it was a record for the decades-old Destin Fishing Rodeo. "It was tense," Bruner, 47, said about the fight to land the shark, which has a mouthful of huge, fearsome teeth. "I've fished for 40 years. I've never see one that big." Bruner and his fishing buddies were on a 52-foot charter boat with Capt. Robert Hill. The fishermen first noticed the big mako because it kept eating grouper and scamp they had hooked. "It was like 'Jaws.'" Hill said. Hill hooked a two-foot amberine on as bait and tossed it out. The shark eventually hit it. After the long fight, the shark was gaffed and eventually gave up after its tail was roped. But even then, the men could not get the big shark in the boat. They tied it to the stern with three ropes and made the four-hour trip back to land. The shark was hoisted at the rodeo before a big crowd. It tipped the scale at 844.4 pounds. After it was gutted, the mako still weighed 638 pounds, breaking the tournament's previous shark division record by 338 pounds. Air company pays reward for cycle mistaken for trash FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The "Copper Chopper" is back home after being mistaken for trash. The motorcycle, made by workers at a Cabot heating-and-air company, was reported stolen from the Bikes, Blues and BBQ festival in Fayetteville this week. Employees built the motorcycle with copper tubing, tubing insulation, a refrigerator drum, a blower motor, refrigerant gauges, nut drivers, two squirrel cage blower housings and sheet metal. The motorcycle was picked up by someone who was told everything left behind was trash. Moore Heat and Air paid a $200 reward for the motorcycle, which won the creative contest at the motorcycle festival. "I am just glad that someone took it because it was cool and not just for the copper," employee Sherry Mash said. "With so much copper theft going on these days, we were afraid that it had been scrapped for the copper and we would never see it again." The nonfunctioning motorcycle serves as a mascot for the company. "It's basically junk to anybody but us," Dave Moore said. Pagers allow jurors to shop while waiting for selection MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. — Like diners waiting for a seat in a popular restaurant, jurors in one busy Michigan court soon could be free to stroll and shop until a pager summons them for duty. Macomb County Clerk Carmella Sabaugh said the pagers would relieve the 23,000 potential jurors called each year to the courthouse in downtown Mount Clemens of the dull hours waiting to be picked for a trial. "It's something we've been wanting to do for a long time. But it never really did take form until now," she told The Macomb Daily. One business leader said the pagers could be a boon for store and restaurant owners in the area about 20 miles northeast of Detroit. "We love it," said Arthur Mullen, executive director of the Mount Clemens Downtown Development Authority. "They will get to know our beautiful downtown, our shops and restaurants. They'll get a flavor of it and be interested in coming back." Sabaugh has made other changes aimed at making jury duty easier, led by a one-day, one-trial system that shortens service for many jurors. A partnership with the SMART suburban bus system provides free ride to the courthouse. The jury room has free wireless Internet service, and the Mount Clemens Public Library offers free books and other reading materials. If judges and the Board of Commissioners approve the pagers, Sabaugh said she could have the program in place by spring. Woman gets $500 reward for returning missing cash WERNERSVILLE, Pa. — A woman who found $20,000 in cash at a convenience store last month is getting a $500 reward from the armored car company that lost it. News of the reward arrived in the form of a letter from Loomis, the armored car company. Honer said Joi Lyn Honer found the stack of $20 bills by a cash machine in Brigantine, N.J., over Labor Day weekend and turned the money over to police. "I'm grateful," she told The Press of Atlantic City on Wednesday. "I didn't do it for the reward, but I think I have $500 that I didn't have three days ago, and that's really helpful to me." she has no regrets. "If I didn't know all this was going to happen, I would still do the exact same thing," she said. Last week, a sanitation worker in St. Petersburg, Fla., found a plastic bag on the road that contained $65,000 after first mistaking the bag for a turtle. That money had apparently fallen from a Loomis armored car a half-hour earlier. A message left with a Loomis spokesman was not immediately returned Saturday. Hungry burglar escapes with Hot Pocket, ravioli Appleton police received a call Wednesday of a burglary — not of valuables but of food. APPLETON, Wis. — This thief apparently had quite the appetite. The burglar apparently entered the unlocked apartment and left with a pizza, six eggs, a can of beef ravioli, a can of peaches and one chicken-and-broccoli Hot Pocket, authorities said. The crime apparently occurred between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., the police report said. Police had no immediate suspects. Woman reports attack on Halloween display LLOYD, N.Y. — A woman says a neighbor attacked her inflatable Halloween lawn display of three ghosts and a giant pumpkin, then apparently smashed his head through her window in a fit of rage. State Police said officers found a drunken John Odee, 43, inside Dawn Garcia's house in the Hudson Valley town of Lloyd on Thursday night, arrested him after a brief struggle and charged him with burglary. Garcia told the Middletown Times Herald-Record she heard hollering and swearing and looked outside to see Odee struggling with the giant pumpkin. "He was enraged. I could see that," she said. When she yelled at him to go away, Odee charged the house. She fled through the back door with three of her children and heard window glass breaking. She called 911 from another neighbor's house.

The University of Kansas Millennium Development Goals Organization and 13 other campus organizations arranged an entire week to raise student awareness of global problems such as AIDS, malaria and poverty with End Global Poverty Week beginning today. Jessica Bergman, Louisburg senior and president of Millennium Development Goals Organization, said the group started this past summer was inspired by the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000. Bergman said 189 nations at the summit mapped out an eight-point plan to end global challenges like poverty, inequality and diseases by 2015. Events on campus this week will allow students to actively participate and learn about their role in solving such world problems. "We get very consumed in our own lives," Bergman said. "We need to step back and think about others in the world." All proceeds from the events go to the "Nothing but Nets" campaign. Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly created the campaign to provide anti-malaria nets to Africa, where the disease kills about 3,000 children each day. Bergman said it was easy to forget that a $10 net could save a life. The official End Global Poverty Day will be marked by students participating in the global "Stand Up Campaign" on Wednesday. Students from organizations assisting with the week will take turns standing on Wescoe Beach for a 24-hour period to "stand up" against global poverty. Bergman said between Oct.16 and 17, people worldwide would actively participate in events for the Stand Up campaign. She said students would be encouraged to sign the "Pledge Against Poverty" that was counted in the Guinness Book of World Records. She said after students signed, they would have a white dove painted on their hand to symbolize their pledge and the one minute they stood up. Pledge Against Poverty began last year and recorded 23.5 million people from 80 countries who pledged, according to the Stand Up campaign Web site. Bergman said the campaign signified the world's commitment to eliminating poverty. Thursday night, students can benefit the week's cause. Abe and Jake's Landing will host a "Party to End Poverty" starting at 9 p.m. with cover charges going to the Nothing But Nets campaign. Amelia Yowell-Mayes, McPherson senior and KU Model United Nations president, said events like the Abe and Jake's party showed students how simple it was to get involved. "The week is special because there are practical ways students can help out." Yowell-Mayes said. "Getting involved in organizations on campus, and just giving time, money, or sponsoring a child." Throughout the week, there will be demonstrations on Wescoe Beach, donation jars at all student housing buildings and a "Picturing Poverty" exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art. The film "Silent Killer" will show on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Bergman said the documentary looked at the issue of world hunger in Kenya and South Africa. The week ends with the GuluWalk on Saturday, hosted by KU for Uganda. Briana Saunders, Vancouver Island junior and KU for Uganda co-president, said the walk recognized the 21-year war in northern Uganda. Saunders said children of the Gulu area walked about 12 miles into the city each night to avoid being abducted from the Lord's Resistance Army. Although students will walk only four miles around campus, Saunders says it will make students aware of the issue. The walk begins with registration in the Big 12 room in the Kansas Union at 5:30 p.m. and concludes back at the Union with a lecture by KU for Uganda founder Rebekah Heacock, a 2006 graduate. Saunders said that the week showed students that global issues affected everyone, and that there were many ways students could show their support. "We see ourselves as disconnected from these issues," Saunders said. "It's our responsibility to inform ourselves as much as possible." — Edited by Kaitlyn Syring global poverty week events Tuesday UNLOCK YOUR FUTURE...

Why call when you can just text? From "lunch at Union?" to "OMG look at that ridiculous girl in the front row wearing Ugg boots and sweat pants," no conversation is too big or important not to text. This lackadaisical form of communication has made its way into the dating scene, making text flirting a revolutionary phenomenon in casual conversation between the sexes. There is no longer just the "booty call;" now there is the "booty text" allowing people to express there desire in non confrontational way. 1:45 a.m.: "Hey, what are you doing?" "Nothing what are you doing?" "Nothing, want to hang out?" "Okay." "Cool, wear that little thing I like." And they're off. For the shyer, more reserved person, text flirting has opened doors to relationships never thought possible. It's much less stressful just to send a text, if the other person doesn't reply. At least you didn't call. A text does not hold the same weight as a phone call; it's less invasive and at times an easier way to communicate. At night when you're in a loud bar, who wants to answer the phone anyway? Replying to a text takes seconds. Also, when just getting to know someone, texting is always the best way to go. You don't want to look like the crazy guy/girl who called three times in one night. But three texts in one night, that's excusable. For me, I have a problem with being awkward, I'm awkward at least 75 percent of the time and it's increased by about 35 percent when I'm sober. Texting is an easy way for me to be witty while avoiding any actual face-to-face contact, because boys make me nervous. Plus, texting isn't just fun, it's exhilarating. Seeing a new text is way more exciting than missing a call. However, there are some inappropriate times to text. If you're in a big lecture it's okay because your not really disrupping anything because no one is probably paying attention anyway, but if you are in a small classroom it's a little weak to be texting on your phone the whole hour. Especially the people who have their phone on vibrate and keep receiving texts all class long. Whoever decided that putting your phone on vibrate is the same as silent must have been deaf or something. It's not a secret, we can all hear your phone and you look like a tool for texting all through class. Texting doesn't have to be like AIM. You can wait awhile in between texts, leave them hanging, make them get a little nervous, then text them right before they jump off the cliff. The text has become an entity in itself; it can be your best friend or (after drunken midnight texting flasco) your worst enemy. A person has to find their own text-balance. Make a set of texting rules for yourself and live by them. Simmermon is a Leawood senior in journalism.

MAX RINKEE Study abroad options limited by time, money The Office of Study Abroad should offer more short-term, less expensive programs KIRSTEN HUDSON like many other students here at KU, I have considered studying abroad. How could you not? We have constantly been told that having some sort of international experience is increasingly important to our future careers. Even knowing this, as a more timid person, I would prefer to study abroad for a shorter amount of time, such as the summer. Yet, I keep feeling put off when it seems that every time I find a program I like, it is only offered during the semester or year. The first time this really hit me was when my twin sister, a business major, decided she wanted to study abroad in Italy this summer. When I found out that the exact same program was available to journalism students, I was ecstatic. I thought we were going to be able to study abroad together. However, come to find out, the program was only offered to journalism students for the semester or academic year. The Study Abroad Office claims to have more than 100 programs available, but when many of those programs are only offered during a semester or year it limits options for students. If more summer programs were offered it would benefit students looking for a program of shorter duration and perhaps even widen the range of students looking to study abroad. When looking to study abroad, money is the first question that, if not you, your parents will surely ask. With the cost of the program, transportation, food and other traveling expenses, money can quickly add up. Although program costs vary, typically summer programs cost less since they last a shorter amount of time. As an example, the CIMBA Italy Program, open to KU business students, is offered in the summer, semester or academic year. According to the CIMBA Website, the price of the program for the Spring 2008 semester (Jan. 20-Apr.20) is $12,695 compared to $4,935 for the summer (May 19-June 13). This difference in price, for some students, can mean the difference in being able to study abroad. Increasing the number of these "cheaper" summer programs or even winter break or spring break programs would make studying abroad possible for more students. Summer programs are not only easier on students that are limited financially, but also on students that are limited confidently. When living across an ocean, home-sickness is likely to hit even the most adventurous of us. Therefore, for those already timid types, summer programs are the perfect option. Yet, being shy isn't the only reason students might look for a summer program. Personally, if I studied abroad for a semester let alone a year, I would feel as if I was missing out on college life at home. Studying abroad is a good opportunity, but I chose to come to KU so I could be at KU. By offering more summer programs, studying abroad will cater to a larger audience of students, those who just can't seem to shake off the Jayhawk in them. One factor to be considered is the shorter duration of summer programs doesn't allow students to absorb the culture as thoroughly as a semester or year program. Cultural immersion during summer programs is also more difficult because many of these programs are group or faculty directed. Meaning students take classes at a foreign location with KU and other U.S. students led by KU professors, GTAs or faculty that has been employed specifically to teach a KU class. While complete cultural immersion may not be possible, some students might find these groups of faculty directed programs advantageous since these programs typically include predetermined course credits and opportunities to study in English in many non-English speaking countries. According to a KU News Release in January 2007, KU "has established a five- to 10-year goal to increase the number of KU students who have studied abroad by the time they graduate." In order to do this, all types of students need to be considered. Offering more summer programs would create more internationally experienced Jayhawks.

Kansas returns four of its starters and is chosen by conference head coaches as the preseason favorite to win the Big 12 Conference Title. BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Scott Yingling's camping group arrived at Allen Fieldhouse almost 12 hours before "Late Night in the Phog" started to earn the second place in line. The long wait didn't bother Yingling, a 2007 graduate from Atlanta. He's been to every Late Night since 1999, but he had to see this one. "You have to be able to say you're here for Late Night the year we win it all," Yingling said. "We will win it all this year." He's not the only one with expectations. Fans, media and opposing coaches are predicting Big 12 titles and Final Fours for this season's team — just like they do every year. Kansas coach Bill Self and the players said the team didn't worry about the expectations — just like they say every year. "It's not going to be different at all," junior guard Brandon Rush said. "It's all the same old stories. We just have to come out and play focused." Big 12 coaches completed a seemingly annual tradition last Thursday when they chose Kansas as the preseason pick to win the conference. It's the eighth time in the 11-year history of the Big 12 they've put Kansas at the top. Basketball analysts agree with the coaches. The Jayhawks are Big 12 champions and ranked in at least the top 10 in season preview magazines such as Athlon, Lindy's and the Sporting News. Kansas is one of the top teams for a reason. Julian Wright, the No. 14 overall pick in last June's NBA draft, is the only player not returning to last season's 33-5 Big 12 Champion and Elite Eight team. Six seniors are back to lead this year's team: Jeremy Case, Rodrick Stewart, Russell Robinson, Sasha Kaun, Darnell Jackson and Brad Witherspoon. They are the first legitimate group of seniors since the class of 2005 of Wayne Simien, Michael Lee, Aaron Miles and Keith Langford. Rush, Kansas' leading scorer the last two years, withdrew from the NBA Draft and joins sophomore forward Darrell Arthur as a preseason All-Big 12 first team selection. "In certain situations, there's no doubt we can be better because we can play through our post men more this year than we did last year," Self said. "Last year, the number of baskets we scored legitimate low-post points with guys' backs to the basket was minimal. The way we scored was guards breaking everybody down and big guys benefiting from the breakdown. Against UCLA, we didn't throw the ball to Shady and have him get us two points. I think we'll be better at that." But questions still remain. Rush won't play until early December because of an ACL tear. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins' numbers faded toward the end of last season. Wright's absence could leave the Jayhawks thin on the inside unless other players step up. Those are some of the reasons Self doesn't want expectations for his team to get out of hand. A college basketball preview on Sportsillustrated.com, which stated that "anything less than a Final Four with this group will be a colossal disappointment," especially bothered Self. "How can it be a colossal disappointment if you have 10 teams they sav are supposed to be in the Final Four?" Self asked. "That's not how athletics works. Will we be disappointed? Yes. But I will guarantee the sun will come up the next day. That's not colossal." Self's players have the same who-cares opinion about the expectations. They're used to dealing with them every year, and this year is no different. "We can't expect anything," he said. "We can't say, 'Hey they picked us Big 12 champs, and we're going to be Big 12 champs.' You have to go out and work and get it. Going back two years, we can learn from our mistakes. Knowing we had a great season last year, we have to go out this year and learn from things we lacked at the end and hopefully be even better." Kaun just hopes this season has a happier ending. Late Night Recap Edited by Chris Beattie RED VS. BLUE For whatever it's worth — "not much" according to Kansas coach Bill Self — the Red team defeated the Blue team 44-34 in the scrimmage Friday night. Senior guard Jeremy Case scored 12 for the Red and sophomore guard Sherron Collins led the Blue with 13. RED-CARPET TREATMENT The night had a red carpet theme with players from the men's and women's teams arriving in limos outside Allen Fieldhouse. Danni Boatwright, best known as the winner of Survivor: Guatemala, interviewed some of the players as they walked in. But she made one mistake. Boatwright called junior guard Ivana Catic "Taylor." Oops. The next player to walk by? The real Taylor, senior guard Taylor McIntosh. SIMPLY THE BEST Kansas football coach Mark Mangino made an announcement calling KU fans the best in the Big 12. "We have to pull together for everyone, not just football and basketball" he said. Self returned the favor a few minutes later. "The best thing that can happen to our school is football is good," he said. "We're happy about that: KARAOKE NIGHT The men's players, dressed in black suits and sunglasses, tried to sing popular songs with their version of the Singing Bee. The four freshmen, Cole Aldrich, Chase Buford, Tyrell Reed and Conner Teahan, were the most memorable. Their rendition of Bon Jovil's "Living on a Prayer" earned them the No. 7 spot on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays. But the best performance belonged to Russell Robinson. He sang Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York." SIMIEN SIGHTING Former Jayhawk Wayne Simien recorded a video announcement for the fans where he stood with his wife and newborn daughter. He said the team needed to "shoot past expectations and bring home the national title." Mark Dent COMMENTARY Year could make history BY BRYAN WHEELER C Students who stuck around for fal break this past weekend to attend Late Night in the Phog on Friday and the game against Baylor on Saturday were around to witness something about as common as a mountain lion sighting on Mt. Oread. For the first time in Big 12 history, they saw a chance for the football and men's basketball teams to both finish atop of the Big 12 in the same year. For fans, the football team's No. 15 ranking and 6-0 (2-0 Big 12) record may seem too good to be true. Before every game, some fans probably wonder when NBC Dateline's Chris Hanson will come out and tell everyone the show is over. Not even Mother Nature could stop the football team from moving to No. 1 in the Big 12 conference standings. Two inclement weather delays and six hours after the game's scheduled start, Kansas made its mark as the only undefeated team in the Big 12. A college football season where only six of 120 FBS teams remain undefeated is plenty enough reason for fans to be happy about Kansas. After the football team's 58-10 victory against Baylor on Saturday, an excited fan ran around the parking lot of Memorial Stadium shouting, "Be happy! It's Ok! We won!" B left for the NBA draft, junior guard Brandon Rush tore his ACL and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur suffered a stress fracture. Then there is the men's basketball team, which is always expected to do well, but a number of pre-season indicators have led many to believe it would not live up to its 2006-2007 season. Forward Julian Wright But talking to Brandon Rush, or "Dr. Rush" as coach Bill Self referred to his star athlete during media day Friday, would leave you convinced he is healthy and ready to play right at this moment. While this may not be the case, he should be back around Dec. 1, which is before Big 12 conference play and the date his doctor set for his recovery. Watching Darrell Arthur in the 20-minute scrimmage during Late Night in the Phog, you would never know he was injured. According to Bill Self, Arthur is the team's most matured player, whose presence will be much needed in the frontcourt after the loss of Julian Wright. And this year's team has seniors. Russell Robinson, Sasha Kaun, Darnell Jackson, Jeremy Case, Rodrick Stewart and Brad Witherspoon will lead the Jayhawks for the 2007-2008 season. Bill Self commented on Friday during media day that Russell Robinson was the most consistent player on the team. The football team is halfway through its season and the basketball team is just less than a month away from its first game. Now, it may be too soon to crown the football and men's basketball teams champions of the Big 12, but there is reason to believe in both teams after this weekend. Overall though, it is certainly a great time to be a jayhawk fan. Not forgetting the talent of junior guard Mario Chalmers and sophomore guard Sherron Collins, it's no wonder Kansas was ranked No.1 in the Big 12 Coaches poll, and near the top of every sports publication's preseason honors and polls. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Jamie Boyd, senior forward, runs onto the court prior to the women's basketball scrimmage during Late Night in the Pho. The women's basketball team performed skits and then scrimmaged each other in a 12-minute game. Dance, scrimmage entertain crowd Anna Faltermeler/KANSAN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL The Kansas women's basketball team re-introduced itself to Jayhawk fans with a stylish entrance, snappy dance moves and a competitive 12 minutes of basketball. BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com Last season, seven freshmen got their first taste of kU basketball at Late Night. This year, six of those players return, and five of them come back with significant minutes logged in their first campaign. Late Night in the Phog has as much to do with pageantry and showmanship as it does basketball, and Friday evening fans at Allen Fieldhouse got their share of all three. Those players are expected to lead this team to the NCAA tournament. But before any of that can happen, they had to have their first practice. And before they had their first practice, they had to dance. DANCE, THEN SCRIMMAGE The women lavishly entered Allen Fieldhouse, strolling down a red carpet in formal attire, but they changed quickly and put on an entertaining show for the crowd. First were the freshmen and sophomores, who put on a dancing step show. After them came the juniors and seniors, who used everything from trash cans to basketballs for their rendition of the percussion group STOMP The most important part came last, though, when the Jayhawks suited up and took the court for a 12-minute intra-squad scrimmage. Junior guard Ivana Catic was a perfect 3-for-3 from the field, including two three-pointers, to lead all scorers with eight points and to help her white team edge the blue team, 18-17. PRESEASON AWARDS Eleven of the 13 players who saw action scored a point, but the most impressive That play exemplified what McIntosh brings to the team and what coach Bonnie Henrickson expects of her. scorer with 10.5 points per game. She also averaged 4.8 rebounds a contest. Henrickson said she needed "to fly around, knock balls down, get on the floor for loose balls and do all the little dirty things a lot of players don't want to do, because that can be contagious." play of the scrimmage was senior guard Taylor McIntosh's hustle after a loose ball that ended with her diving over the scorer's table. McCray is the Jayhawks top returning Sophomore guard Danielle McCray was named to the Preseason Honorable Mention list by Big 12 coaches on Wednesday. She was the only Kansas player to be named to a preseason watch list. WELCOME TO THE SHOW Forwards Krysten Boogaard and Nicollette Smith and guard Chakeitha Weldon played for the first time in a Jayhawk uniform at Late Night. Three freshmen were introduced to Kansas basketball Friday evening. All three should factor into the Jayhawk game plan with specific roles, but shouldn't have the same pressures as those of last year's freshman group because of this team's experience.

His 3-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter Sunday gave Then the eight-time Pro Bowler caught Damon Huard's 26-yard scoring strike in the fourth quarter that proved the difference in Kansas City's 27-20 victory over the downward-spiral Cincinnati Bengals. Gonzalez the NFL record for tight ends. With Gonzalez catching nine passes for 102 yards and the two touchdowns, the Chiefs (3-3) rolled up an impressive — for them — 354 total yards Sunday against the suspect and injury-weakened defense of the Bengals (1-4), who lost their fourth game in a row. "It wasn't the easiest (catch)," said a grinning Gonzalez, who broke Shannon Sharpe's record of 62 touchdown catches by a tight end." I had to go get it. I was like, 'I'm not letting this one get away. I've been waiting a long time for it." The first sign that things would improve for the Chiefs came on their first play from scrimmage, when frustrated Pro Bowler Larry Johnson gained 9 yards, just one short of the team's entire embarrassing rushing total in a loss to Jacksonville the week before.

What? Kentucky at No. 7? Huh? Arizona State at No. 8? You're going to have to repeat that. Kansas at No. 13? Wow. Yep, you guessed it. The first Bowl Championship Series ratings came out yesterday and, as usual, the computers spat out some curious numbers. And considering how this season has gone, debates about the BCS will only become more heated as January nears. After seven weeks, three different teams have appeared atop the Associated Press Top 25. Only 14 of the AP's preseason Top 25 teams remain ranked. Teams like Louisville, UCLA, Rutgers, Florida State, Nebraska, Arkansas, TCU and Texas A&M have free fallen into the absfer faster as a Kyle Tucker punt. In their places are teams like Boston College, South Florida, South Carolina, Missouri, Arizona State, Cincinnati, Kentucky, and your Kansas Jayhawks. The BCS is left to sort out this mess. But contrary to what FOX Sports would have you believe, the BCS isn't the be-all and end-all when it comes to choosing the best team in the land. Fortunately for the teams that will inevitably feel slighted by the BCS, there are other polling organizations in college football's underground that recognize their own National Champions. Two years ago, Texas defeated USC 41-38 in the Rose Bowl, supposedly staking claim to the 2005 National Championship. Well, as Lee Corso says, not so fast. Upstart polling agency Harris Interactive went against the grain, recognizing USC as the best team in the country. Whereas some organizations use computers to rank teams, Harris uses a panel of former players, coaches and administrators, as well as current and former media members to rank the Top 25 teams in the nation. But Harris, which is now part of the BCS equation, wasn't the first organization to defy the BCS. Despite a 21-14 victory against Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, LSU wasn't a unanimous choice as the 2003 National Champion. Instead, the AP, New York Times, Eck, and Matthews polling agencies picked USC, while Clyde Berryman and his "Quality Point Rating System" picked Oklahoma. Jeff Saginin's College Football Rankings have become one of the more well-known novelty ratings. He was the first to resist the BCS takeover. In 1998, the first year of the BCS, he was the only polling agent to pick Ohio State as the 1998 National Champion, despite Tennessee's 23-16 victory against Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl. Four years later, Sagarin was involved in the next BCS deviation, as one of three organizations that picked USC, even though Ohio State beat Miami 31-24 in the Fiesta Bowl. But head-scratching National Championship splits have been around as long as college football itself. Think the 1997 National Championship was between Nebraska and Michigan? Wrong. Nebraska was clearly the No. 1 team in the country, trouncing a Peyton Manning-led Tennessee team in the Orange Bowl, whereas all Michigan did was beat Ryan Leaf's Washington State team by five in the Rose Bowl. Still, six organizations picked Michigan over Nebraska and, get this, the National Championship Foundation actually picked both Nebraska and Michigan. The NCF, bless its heart, is now defunct. In 1996, the Alderson organization picked Florida State despite Floridas dominance. The Dunkel Index picked Florida State in 1994 even though Nebraska was the best team in the country and all sympathy votes were supposed to go to Penn State. In 1993, Auburn, Florida State, Nebraska and Notre Dame were all recognized by at least one polling organization (yes, the NCF picked all four of them). Since 1921, there have been eight seasons in which five schools were recognized by at least one organization as National Champions. So, what does this mean for Kansas? Well, even if the Jayhawks run the table in the Big 12 and win the Big 12 Championship, nearly a dozen teams will need to lose (some more than once) to make room for Mark Mangino & Co. in the BCS Championship Game. But with polling organizations like Dunkel, Sagarin and Berryman, Kansas could still earn a less prestigious share of the National Championship. This week, Sagarin not only ranks Kansas at No. 4, it predicts the Jayhawks to finish in that spot - ahead of teams like West Virginia, LSU, South Florida and Florida - in spite of (or perhaps because of) a schedule rank of 126. Let the debates begin. —Edited by Luke Morris 》 COLLEGE FOOTBALL Upsets mark second straight weekend Oklahoma beats Missouri, wins battle between Big 12's highest-ranked teams BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com This weekend LSU and California, the nation's No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams, lost.

But after Szymanski threw three interceptions and struggled to find any consistency against the Jayhawks, Morriss benched him in the third quarter. "I didn't like that he did that. I guess I didn't make plays I needed to, and he thought it was his decision to put another quarterback in there." Szymanski said. "I can't disagree with that; he's the coach." Morriss said the decision was simple because Szymanski wasn't finding open targets despite a strong effort from the offensive line. He was pulled three minutes into the second half after going 13-for-24 for 79 yards and three interceptions. The first of the three interceptions proved the most costly. The Bears trailed only 10-3 when Szymanski floated the ball into the hands of Kansas sophomore safety Justin Thornton at Baylor's own 35-yard line. "I read the quarterback's eyes, and he threw it right to me," Thornton said. "I couldn't ask for an easier interception." Thornton said the quarterback continually made it obvious where he was going to throw the ball. After Kansas senior safety Sadiq Muhammed intercepted a pass to end Baylor's first drive of the second half, it looked as if Szymanski wouldn't have the chance to throw another one. Junior quarterback Ryan Roberts entered the game on Baylor's next possession but had little success. He completed two passes but also got sacked twice, which stalled the Bears' drive. "The last couple of weeks, he's probably been sharper in practice, and we felt like he deserved a shot to go out there and show what he can do," Morriss said. "And if nothing else, let Blake stand there on the sideline and let everything slow down for him a bit and get some of his composure back." Roberts and Szymanski each received a second chance to revive the anemic offense in the final 20 minutes. Although Szymanski refrained from throwing another interception and passed for 40 yards in that span, he could never find the rhythm needed to move the offense. So Morriss added yet another face to the melting pot of potential Bear quarterbacks. Freshman Tyler Beatty was the final Baylor quarterback to enter the game, and he responded by going 1-for-4 with an interception. "We tried to put Blake back in, and it didn't go much better, so when we go to a freshman to see what he can do," Morris said. "And he wasn't much better either." Morriss said the poor play of each quarterback made it hard to say who would start next week against Texas. Morriss and offensive coordinator Lee Hays will make a decision after viewing the game film and assessing their options. Szymanski said he didn't know what to expect but that he would be better prepared for the Texas game. If there's any hope of finally putting an end to the quarterback controversy in Waco, Texas, he'll have to be.

The Kansas offense gained 447 yards against the Baylor defense. PANTHER Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN Jake Sharp, sophomore running back, finds a hole in the Baylor University defense. Sharp led the Jayhawks in rushing with 18 carries for a total of 111 yards. Jon Goering/KANSAN Football notes Game to forget... Blake Szymanski. Baylor's quarterback has enjoyed a promising sophomore campaign in 2007, but he struggled mightily against a staunch Kansas defense. The Jayhawk front seven brought plenty of pressure, and the secondary hung back and intercepted Szymanski three times. At least Szymanski didn't have to endure a full game of punishment - he was benched in the second half. RAIN DELAY It isn't every day that a football game is delayed because of inclement weather conditions. In fact, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he had never been involved in a rain delay like Saturday's in his 40-year coaching career. The game was a day-long endeavor for all involved: originally slated to start at 11:30 a.m., it didn't actually begin until 1:15 p.m. and didn't wrap up until 5:03 p.m. Kansas players filled the downtime with a variety of activities. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton read the Bible, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing listened to music and sophomore running back Jake Sharp played tic-tac-toe. Stat of the game... 154. Baylor gained only 154 passing yards Saturday, the fewest the team has posted this season. Entering the game, the Bears were averaging 306 yards per game through the air, thanks to a pass-happy spread offense. Baylor tried to establish a pass presence, but Kansas stymied both short and deep pass attempts. Game to remember... Jake Sharp. With the Baylor defense playing back on its heels to defend against the Jayhawk aerial attack, Sharp had quite a bit of room to run. The sophomore running back slashed and sprinted his way to 110 rushing yards on 18 carries and only lost yardage on one attempt. Sharp has now rushed for more than 100 yards in three of the Jayhawks' six games this season. PUNT RETURNS After struggling Oct. 6 against Kansas State, sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton did not return punts against Baylor. Freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe and sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb filled in and fared well. Briscoe called for a fair catch on the punt he fielded in the first quarter, and Webb eagerly returned four punts for 20 yards. On several of those returns, Webb caught the ball and started running upfield with defenders bearing down on him. But Saturday wasn't completely full of bad news for Pendleton. He lined up as the slot receiver in the second half and caught one pass for five yards. It was over when... Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing found freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe standing wide open in the back of the end zone for six points with 11:06 remaining in the second quarter. The touchdown put Kansas ahead 17-3 and shoved the last scoop of mud on a Baylor team that played uninspired and sloppy football for the rest of the game. Kansas coaches also made an PUNTS Reesing RIGGWS 32 adjustment on the other side of the punt game. After punting once against Kansas State, Kerry Meier punted three times against Baylor and his View from press row punts were not all pooch punts Meier John Riggins talks with a family member during a recognition ceremony for the former Kansas running back. Riggins' number 32 became the newest addition to Memorial Stadium's Ring of Honor. Meier, who punted during his High School career, booted one out of the Kansas end zone in the second quarter. Kansas called on senior punter Kyle Tucker four times Saturday afternoon, but his woes continued as he averaged just 33.5 yards per punt. Mangino said Tucker was merely going through a slump. Todd Reesing also played a role in punt coverage. On one occasion, Reesing lined up on the outside of the 10 formation as a "gunner" and tried to be the first to the punt returner. Reeing, who is certainly not the prototypical punt coverage specialist, said he enjoyed his new role. "I was sprinting hard, and right before he got tackled I was about to get in there and get my lick but I didn't quite get my chance. They tried to jam me off the line but I got a good release so I got down there and contain-covered, so I think I did my job well," Reeing said with a smile. Kansas Athletics announced Saturday's attendance as 43,556. The figure mark the second-lowest total in the five home games Kansas has played so far this season but the 15th time in the last 16 home games more than 40,000 fans have purchased tickets. From the press box, the attendance numbers looked a bit lower than the announced total, but fans did a surprisingly good job of filling Memorial Stadium, considering the poor weather conditions, inconvenient rain delay and Fall Break. Only a smattering of fans remained in their seats to see Kansas' last touchdown, which was the first of sophomore running back Angus Quigley's career. ATTENDENCE MEIER SHOWS VERSATILITY Kerry Meier turned in another versatile and exciting performance The sophomore jack-of-all-trades player compiled 25 passing yards, 20 receiving yards, 11 rushing yards, and punted three times. His 2007 totals are as follows: 15-of-19 passing for 130 yards, five receptions for 51 yards, 11 rushes for 60 yards and an average of 32.2 yards per punt on four kicks. Todd Reesing performed admirably after a rough first quarter, but fell short of 200 passing yards for the first time this season. If Reesing would have broken the 200-yard mark, he would have tied Mike Norseth's school record of six consecutive games with 200-plus passing yards. Despite the end of Reesing's streak, the Kansas offense was firing on all cylinders. The Jayhawks' 58-point performance set a new school record for points scored in a conference game. The previous record was 55 points, set against Kansas State in 1947. Former Kansas star running back John Riggins took his place in the Ring of Honor during a halftime ceremony. Riggins, who played at Kansas from 1968 to 1970 and led Kansas to the Orange Bowl, became the 15th member of the group. After a college career in which he was named to the all-Big Eight First Team twice, Riggins played in the NFL for 14 seasons, rushed for 11,352 yards and earned a spot in the NFL Hall of Fame. NOT UP TO PAR SECONDARY RIGGINS JOINS RING OF HONOR Some of the less-heralied members of the Kansas secondary got their chances to shine against Baylor. Of the Jayhawks' four interceptions, three were made by reserves and one by a true freshman. Senior safety Sadiq Muhammed, sophomore safety Justin Thornton and PETER GROSSMAN Muhammed junior cornerback Gary Green played the roles of unlikely heroes and freshman cornerback Chris Harris continued to emerge as a steady contributor, recording his first career intercept. Baylor's spread offense forced Kansas to turn to some strange defensive schemes. Sophomore Wheeler ODD DEFENSE defensive end Jeff Wheeler and freshman defensive end Jake Laptad were fixtures of the defensive line on Saturday after playing mainly in third-and- long situations earlier this season. Wheeler recorded two tackles and Laptad added three tackles and the Jayhawks lone sack. On many plays, Kansas utilized as many as five defensive backs. Thornton, Muhammed and junior cornerback Kendrick Harper filled the extra spots in the defensive backfield and made four combined tackles and two interceptions. NATIONAL TELEVISION Kansas' impressive performance against Baylor may have earned the team some exposure to a national audience. Kansas Athletics announced Sunday that this weekend's game at Colorado will be televised on ESPN, Sunflower Broadband channel 33, at 4:45 p.m. Before the Baylor game, television networks had not decided on a schedule for this coming weekend, but the Jayhawks' victory may have helped push the team into a decent time slot on the national stage.

Morriss is in his fifth year at Baylor but the team hasn't shown much improvement in that time. So it was just his luck that he had to take his traveling circus, the fast-plummeting Baylor Bears, on the road to face a Top 25 squad in Kansas following arguably the most embarrassing home loss of his short Baylor career. For the first time in his five-year tenure at Baylor, the voices calling for Guy Morris' resignation have risen to an overwhelming crescendo. And it doesn't seem like they're going away this time. It seems odd to call a 20-point loss to Colorado a bigger embarrassment than, say, a 62-0 shellacking to Texas two years ago. Or the season-ending 35-0 beating Oklahoma gave the Bears last year. But look at it from a Baylor fan's perspective. Morrisr has had five years to recruit, build and mold. His recruiting classes are still mired in the nation's bottom half. His average recruiting class since his arrival is 79th out of 119 FBS schools. Call it the Baylor factor, but any school should expect better than that, let alone a BCS school. backs has been the scariest part. No Morrisr-recruited quarterback has ever won a Big 12 game. Following Baylor's loss under the lightning Saturday to Kansas, Blake Szymanski is 0-6 as a start in Big 12 games, and last Saturday's 20-point blowout to Colorado was the closest he's ever come to winning one. That's why it appears this Morriss- That's why it built program has reached a disappointing plateau. This team is five years in the making. Where is the progress? the team for the rest of the year. When the Bears completed one of the most incredible fourth quarter comebacks in their history last season and pulled together a 19-point quarter to defeat the Jayhawks 36-35 on homecoming, the fans streamed out at halftime. About 20,000 people were left at Floyd Casey Stadium to witness the comeback. "Judging by Baylor's hiring history since the Big 12 formed, something big is going to happen this offseason,and the trend doesn't favor Morriss." Ever since Morrisr' arrival at Baylor in 2003, the ups and downs that typically accompany one His inability to recruit quarter WILL PARCHMAN Sports Editor, Baylor Lariot of the hottest seats in the conference over the last decade have been wildly evident. After a shameful 27- 20 overtime loss at home to Army last year, Morriss looked defeated. He sounded defeated. The fans gave him attitudes to match, failing to properly support The Baylor Regents have not been blind, deaf and dumb throughout all of this. Judging by Baylor's hiring history since the Big 12 formed, something big is going to happen this off-season, and the trend doesn't favor Morriss. The calls for Mike Singletary, Baylor's legendary linebacker of the 1980s, are deafening. Now an assistant with the San Francisco 49ers, Singletary was a prime candidate for Baylor's head job back in 2003. Fresh off a 7-5 season at Kentucky, just his second as a head coach, Morriss took the The calls for job instead. The only conceivable way Morriss can save himself now is a bowl bid, something Baylor hasn't had since 1994. A couple conference wins not satiate the Baylor crowd anymore, nor should they. The frenzy is too great, the gap between winning seasons too long. Judging by the result in Lawrence Saturday, six victories seem as distant and unreachable as the highest steppes of Mount Everest. Above all, Baylor fans are tired. They are tired of losing, tired of being a conference doormat and perhaps most of all, tired of bowing down to Texas A&M and Texas each year. Morris isn't a bad guy; he's just not the one to accomplish those tasks. He's already proven as much. So say goodbye to Morriss. The Colorado game dug his coaching grave. This loss to Kansas nailed his coffin shut. Just like the backup quarterback in any town, the most popular guy in Waco after the season will be the one who replaces Guy Morriss. CROSS COUNTRY Men, women compete in NCAA Pre-Nationals Parchman is a senior journalism major from Austin, Texas. He is Baylor Lariat Sports Editor. As the University of Kansas men and women Cross Country teams took to their toughest tests of the year Saturday, they responded with one of their best performances. The men competed in a difficult 40-team race, while the women competed in a tough open 123runner race. The day was marked by personal best's and a reason to believe that the end of the season may be a special one. According to a Kansas Athletics press release, on the men's side, Wissel Senior All-American Colby Wissel posted his best time of the year BANGLADESH (23:48) and that time was also a personal best for his career, surpassing his 24:34 last year at the Big 12 Championship. Keeping with this year's traditional fashion, senior Paul Heferon finished second for the Jayhawks on the heels of Wissel only 19 seconds behind. There was another gap in finishing times this week, but sophomore Bret Imgrand finished third for the Jayhawks and 160th overall with a time of 25:03. Another personal best came from freshman Nick Capriario, who finished fourth for the team and beat his previous personal best by 1:05. The women's team competed in the open race and had more improved times. Leading the way for the women again was sophomore Lauren Bonds, who posted her personal best 21:47 while finishing ninth overall. Behind Bonds, were two seniors who posted their personal best times. Alicia McGregor and Hayley Harbert finished with times of 22:02 and 22:11 respectively, while no points were actually kept for the teams. NEW ON MASS STREET!

The home field advantage did not work in the Jayhawks' favor. Instead, they ended the weekend with a tie and a loss. The Jayhawks have only won three games this season, and after an impressive last weekend against Drake and Texas Tech, the team seemed to be falling into its losing rut — again. JAYHAWKSTIE Kansas tied Oklahoma State, 2-2 on Friday after two overtures. The layhawks' first goal against the Cowgirls came from an assist made by senior midfielder Nicole Cauzillo to sophomore forward Shannon McCabe. Cauzillo continued racking up points for her team by scoring the second goal of the match. The goal, which bounced off her shoulder and into the net, was her fourth of the season. Coach Mark Francis said he was disappointed in the game's outcome. "We just have to regroup and hope for a better result on Sunday," he said. JAYHAWKS FALL TO SOONERS During the first half of Sunday's game against Oklahma, it seemed the result would be better. Junior midfielder/forward Jessica Bush scored her first goal of the season during the first 40 minutes of play. The Sooners responded with two goals in the 52nd and 83rd minute. During the last few minutes, nailbiters got down to the cuticle, and KU fans' legs shook nervously. It looked as though the game was tied when a shot from Bush soared toward the goal. The Sooners' goalkeeper, however, did not let her team face an overtime. She grazed the ball with her fingertips, deflecting it off the crossbar. Despite the Jayhawks' effort to tie the score — they out-shot the Sooners 24-8 — they were unsuccessful, and lost 2-1. "We had so many opportunities in the first half that we didn't finish," Francis said. As well as in shot attempts on goal — Kansas led 11-5 — the Jayhawks dominated Oklahoma in corner kicks, 10-2. Francis said he felt gutted after the game ended and that the game should have been over at halftime. "Instead of finding a way to win that game, we found a way to lose it. It's not acceptable to lose that game, with the opportunities we had," he said. KEEPING THEIR HEADS UP Looking forward to the team's next game, Francis said that despite the loss, the team has improved, and is playing better. KANSAS 15 Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN Kansas falls to 3-9-3 overall and 1-2-2 in the Big 12 Conference. Up next for the Jayhawks is a trip to Shannon McCabe, sophomore forward, dribble the ball down the field in Sunday's game against Oklahoma. The Jayhawks lost to the Sooners 2-1. Colorado where they will face off against their conference rival at 4 p.m. — Edited by Meghan Murphy WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Team sets sights on NCAA berth Under senior leadership of McIntosh, last year's freshmen ready to grow up BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com Any team that puts three or four freshmen on the court at once will have its share of growing pains, and the Kansas women's basketball team experienced every one of those pains last year. Things changed at the end of the season, though, when everyone's play improved and it resulted in big victories against Kansas State and Missouri and a Big 12 Tournament upset over Oklahoma State. That finish has everyone excited about the possibilities of this season and it has brought the expectation of an NCAA tournament bid at the end of the year. "I think most of us have the number 20 in our heads," sophomore guard Kelly Kohn said. "We want to win 20 games and we want to go to the tournament." "It's definitely been easier," sophomore forward Sade Morris said of her transition from freshman to sophomore. "I'm used to it, I know what to expect, I know how hard it's going to be and I've Playing in March would be a big change for a team that won only 11 games last year and struggled through the maturation of its large freshman class. But those six freshmen are now experienced sophomores who understand what it takes to play Big 12 basketball. just got to push through it and I'll be all right." Another factor in the growth of this Jayhawk team has been the leadership of senior guard Taylor McIntosh, who has carried the nickname "Grandma" for almost three years. "She's the voice," said coach Bonnie Henrickson. "She's brutally honest, but they look at Taylor and they respect her because she talks the talk, but she also walks the walk." Sophomore forward Danielle McCray, the team's top returning scorer at 10.5 points per game, said that McIntosh received the respect of her fellow teammates because she knew what she was talking about. "It's natural for me," McIntosh said on her role as a leader. "Not to say I'm bossy, but I'm more like a motherly kind of person." Players said McIntosh's mentoring helped the freshman class work through its frustrations last season, and under her guidance again this season, everyone hopes the core group of players is ready to take the next step. "To make this a great year is to make it to the NCAA tournament." Morris said. — Edited by Matt Erickson ALEXANDRA Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Clarke & Wilson, LLC For help with: Attorneys at Law DUI/OUI Fake ID MIP Drug Possession Battery/Domestic Battery Trespassing Public Consumption Divorce Discounted attorney fees for full-time students with current college ID who mention this ad. 785-832-2181 NICHOLAS ROSENBERG Ivana Catic, junior guard, dribbles past Kelio Kohn, sophomore guard, during the women's crimage at Late Night in the Phog Friday night.

Junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart and freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser added six kills each, and sophomore setter Katie Martincich notched 11 assists and eight digs. Kansas has lost seven consecutive matches against Texas. The Jayhawks last victory against Texas Coach Ray Bechard said Wednesday that 'Texas' freshman Juliann Faucette was the best freshman in the Big 12. On Saturday, Faucette made Bechard look like a prophet. The freshman outside hitter erupted for 22 kills and led Texas to a 3-0 (30-14, 30-22, 30-21) victory against Kansas on Saturday in Austin, Texas. Texas played without All-American sophomore Destinee Hooker, who was injured, but her absence didn't slow the Longhorn offense. Texas tallied 60 total kills and .388 hitting percentage, compared with only 32 kills and a .081 percentage for Kansas. Senior setter/right side hitter Emily Brown led the Kansas offense with seven kills. The Baldwin City native also had 11 assists and eight digs in the losing effort. came in Austin on Nov. 8,2003. KANSAS TOPS COLORADO Fall break weekend wasn't all bad for Kansas. The Jayhawks began the four-day weekend with a 3-1 (30-22, 30-26, 22-30, 30-27) victory against Colorado at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. Kaiser and Uhart finished with career-high numbers in kills with 19 and 14 kills respectively, and freshman libero Melissa Manda led a great team defensive effort with 24 digs. "I'm extremely excited, because even though we didn't play very clean at times tonight, I thought we fought," Bechard said. "I think a reflection of that is you have 81 digs to your opponent's 54, and Colorado is a program that prides themselves on that stat." "You have to take care of your own business to beat that team," Uhart said. "They'll just linger around. We knew we had to buckle down and do our jobs." Kansas won the first two games, but Colorado bounced back in game three and took an early lead in game four. Uhart said Kansas knew Colorado was a team that would fight and battle. volleyball information Sophomore middle blocker Brittany Williams will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, and senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart, who missed all of 2006 with a similar injury, has been helping Williams through the tough times. - Edited by Kaitlyn Syring INJURY UPDATE KANSAS EIGHTH IN BIG 12 With the victory against Colorado and loss at Texas, Kansas is now in eighth place in the Big 12.

MLB Rockies one game away from sweep over D-Backs With a cold rain falling, Josh Fogg shut down Arizona's bats in his first postseason start and Yorvit Torrealba hit a tiebreaking three-run homer to fuel the Rockies' 4-1 victory Sunday night in Game 3 of the NL championship series.

They will try to sweep the Diamondbacks on Monday night when Franklin Morales faces Arizona's Micah Owings in a matchup of rookies who have never faced each other's teams.

Torrealba connected in the sixth inning, three pitches after watching one of Livan Hernandez's trademark "eephus" offerings poke across the plate for a strike — so slow it didn't register on the stadium scoreboard radar. best-of-seven postseason series. Torrealba, who is 8-for-21 in the playoffs with seven RBIs, nearly had a home run in the third when he doubled off the center-field wall.

TEST PREP AND ADMISSIONS MVP hopeful Matt Holliday also homered off Hernandez, who fell to 7-3 lifetime in the playoffs. He allowed four earned runs on eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. Holliday's homer in the first inning was the first by either team in this series. Fogg, who won Game 2 of the divisional series over Philadelphia in relief of Morales, scattered seven hits, including rookie Mark Reynolds' solo home run in the fourth, in six innings. He didn't walk a batter and struck out three. With the game time temperature hovering at 43 deg perature hovering at 43 degrees — and quickly dipping into the 30s — and a light drizzle falling, the crowd showed up wearing fleece jackets, gloves, wool caps and scarves, looking like they were headed for the ski slopes west of Denver, where it was indeed snowing. Even Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero wore a ski cap beneath his catcher's helmet. It was only fitting that the Rockies sent a pitcher named Fogg to the mound to deal with the elements in the first NLCS game in Denver in franchise history.

A proposed pass system allowing students to work out without a yellow permit will be considered at the Nov. 13 meeting of the Parking Commission. Parking changes proposed Pass system could open spots in front of recreation center BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com Students will have to wait another month to find out whether they can park near the Student Recreation Fitness Center without a yellow permit. Hultine said that commission members suggested a system in which students would park in the lot near the recreation center and swipe their KUID cards inside. They would then receive printouts with the time they checked in, which they would take back to their cars and place on their dashboards for a short amount of posal made by Ray Wittlinger. Olathe senior and student body vice president, last week at its first meeting of the year. His proposal would allow students with any student parking permits, but not just the currently required yellow permits, to park in the first row The Parking Commission tabled a proof parking spaces in front of the recreation center. Donna Hultine, director of the parking department, said that after Wittlinger tabled the proposal, commission members asked him to present the proposal again at the next meeting with a more developed idea of how the Parking Department could oversee that students without a yellow permit would use the spaces to work out and not just to go to class. Donna Hutline said she expected the proposal to pass at the next meeting on Nov.13 as long as the system would not require a large amount of additional technology or expense. "I don't want to have to follow people into the building and make sure they work out," Hultine said. "If you swipe your card, that is oversight without anyone doing much more work." time while using the recreation center. Hultine said she expected the proposal to pass at the next meeting on Nov. 13 as long as the system would not require a large amount of additional technology or expense. She also said it would need to be discussed with Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services, before it could be implemented. Chappell said that anything the recreation center could do to allow more students to work out would be good. Wittlinger said that he and Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, would look into the logistics of setting up a pass system between the Parking Department and the recreation center before the next commission meeting. "Wed have to work on printing something off". Chappell said. Chappell said that she would be open to a discussion of how the recreation center could help the Parking Department to open spots specifically for students who are working out. "We were really pleased with the suggestions that the board had because it was basically what we had suggested in the campaign," Wittlinger said. When Love and Wittlinger ran for their positions last spring as part of the United Students coalition, one of their platforms was to open part of the parking lot outside of the recreation center for students who wanted to work out but did not qualify for a yellow permit, such as freshmen or students living in the residence or scholarship halls. Wittlinger said that this meeting put them another step closer to fulfilling that platform.

BASKETBALL Recruits wanted: Self searching for right players Only two players have verbally committed to Kansas so far for the recruiting class of 2008. The Jayhawks could have up to seven scholarships available after this season. Several players Kansas offered scholarships to, such as DeAndre Liggins and Romero Osby, turned the Jayhawks down. This is unlike previous years when Kansas coach Bill Self would sign up to three McDonald's All-Americans in one class. Still, recruiting analysts said Self had enough time to get a successful class. Dave Telep of Scout.com said the Jayhawks would end up with a few top-100 recruits.

Conard St, former director of University Relations and assistant to three former KU chancellors, died Friday at age 86. After leaving the University, Conard was speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives in 1967 and ran for lieutenant governor in 1968. He was then the executive director of the Kansas Board of Regents from 1976 until he retired in 1982. Dykes said Conard lived by the Rotary Club's motto: service to others. "His ethics were absolutely superb" Dykes said. "He had a brilliant mind." Former Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, who was chancellor from 1973 until 1980, said that Conard, who was his assistant for much of his time there, helped the University maintain "very good relationships across the state." Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a press release, "Dr. Conard had a long and distinguished relationship with the University of Kansas, dating back to his undergraduate days as a Summerfield Scholar." Conard earned a bachelor's degree in journalism and a master's in political science at the University of Kansas. He then went to the University of Paris with a Rotary Club scholarship and earned his doctorate in international law. "People thought well of him," Dykes said. "When he would introduce me, a young guy from Tennessee, people would accept me, because John Conard was doing the introduction." Graveside services with military honors for Conard are today at 10:30 a.m. in Fairview Cemetery in Greensburg. Funeral services were held yesterday at Plymouth Congregational Church in Lawrence.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY OCTOBER 16, 2007 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16. 2007 NEWS 》 CYBER SECURITY 3A Revealing info online endangers jobs, identities BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com One student was rejected from his law school of choice after admissions officers browsed his Facebook profile. Another student was forced to immediately pay his tuition after his mother used his student ID and password to withdraw him from a class, unbeknownst to him. With his hours reduced, he no longer qualified for financial aid. Those are some of the horror stories information security specialists told during "Saving Face on Facebook and Dealing with Identity Theft" Monday night in Oliver Hall. The lecture was part of a series of events in October, Cyber Security Awareness Month, designed to teach students about the dangers lurking in cyberspace. The presenters warned students about the dangers of putting risqué photos and personal information on Facebook for all to see. "If they are after you, they can build a picture of your whole life," he said. Julie Fugett, systems analyst for KU Information Services, said students should always be aware of Rick Whitmore, director of technology for KU Unclassified Senate, said hackers were constantly on the prowl for Internet users' personal information. Fugett what the Internet had to say about them. She suggested removing Facebook tags from incriminating photos and comments before the wrong person saw them. "Once it's online, it's pretty much there forever," Fugett warned. Fugett used a Facebook posting for a party in Lawrence as an example. All Facebook users could view the invitation, which included the hostesses' names, along with an address, phone number and KU email address. The party was titled "Who likes TITTIES?" Whitmore said such postings could ruin a student's reputation and career options. He said that all too often, students made unflattering posts online without thinking of the consequences. Although he is no longer a student, Whitmore joined Facebook to look for examples of such behavior. He was shocked to see his nephew's profile. "Now I can see pictures of my 19-year-old nephew slamming down 40s," he said. "I'm like, dude, I know your parents." Fugett went on to warn students against "phishers," hackers who mislead Internet users into giving away personal information. She said hackers also commandeered users' desktops to send spam messages all over the Internet. "You need to keep your system up to date with antivirus software and do not click on links in any e-mail without thinking first," Fugett said. Putting Your Best Facebook Forward Whitmore also strongly urged students to never give out their KU username or password to anyone. He said the KU Password Policy stated that students could be kicked out of school for giving their password information to anyone. "If anyone else in the known universe knows your KUID and password, go change it right now" he said.

The plane's cabin has wider seats and aisles and other amenities designed to make business travel more comfortable. ASSOCIATED PRESS TOULOUSE, France - Nearly two years late, Airbus finally delivered its first A380 superjumbo on Monday, a revolutionary behemoth that includes luxury suites equipped with comfy double beds. Customer Singapore Airlines says the passenger jet, the world's largest, was worth the wait, and the delivery marks a badly needed morale-boosting milestone for Airbus. Singapore Airlines Chief Executive Chew Choon Seng said his airline was inconvenienced by the late delivery, but added, "We are glad that Airbus took the time to make sure that the plane is fully tested and developed before it enters commercial service." For Airbus, big challenges with the problem-ridden plane still lie ahead — not least producing enough of them. "Increasing A380 production to meet demand remains our greatest challenge for the next years," Chief Executive Thomas Enders said at a handover ceremony at Airbus' headquarters in Toulouse, southwestern France. After delivering the first four superjumbos to Singapore Airlines, Airbus will have to redesign cabins and electrical layouts for Emirates Airlines and Qantas. It is committed to handing over 13 planes in 2008, 25 in 2009, and 45 in 2010. Asked 'if he was confident that Airbus is up to the challenge, Enders said: "We have every confidence we can deliver, but what is guaranteed in life?" Life Happens. (THAT'S WHY,WE GUARANTEE OUR REPAIR WORK FOR LIFE.) ▶ FREE estimates ▶ FREE detail on services $300+ ▶ We work with ALL major insurance companies BRYANT COLLISION REPAIR 843-5803 ► 1214 E. 23RD St. Lack of a sure-thing might not go down well with Airbus' 16 customers for the A380, whose patience has already been stretched, nor with potential converts. With 189 orders or firm commitments, Airbus is hoping to see 200 on its books by year-end. Meanwhile, it looks like Airbus is having problems with its next big project — the A400M military cargo plane. Tom Williams, Airbus executive vice-president for programs, said difficulties with the engine could push the first flight of the turbo-prop back six months. If the European planemaker is late delivering, "clearly it's not going to be cheap," he told journalists. U. S. rival Boeing Co. is late too, announcing a six-month delay last week to its hot-selling 787 Dreamliner. But the Chicago-based planemaker still has a five-year lead over Airbus for its competing mid-sized jet, the A350 XWB, which has been set back by multiple redesigns. The A380's inaugural commercial flight is set for Oct. 25 from Singapore to Sydney. Singapore Airlines has auctioned all seats on the first flight on eBay, raising about $1.25 million for charity. LAWRENCE Bella Sera at The Preserve contributes to growing condo trend in KC metro BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com A touch of European flair is coming to Lawrence in the form of a condominium project. The Bella Sera at The Preserve condominium project, which began construction in May 2006 in western Lawrence, will open its doors to occupants in early November, according to one of the project's leading developers. Jes Santaularia, founder of Diversified Concepts LLC and one of the two head developers on the project, said the Barcelona building at the Bella Sera at The Preserve condominiums should be finished by the end of 2007. The original plans called for three buildings to be built at the McGrew Nature Preserve, 4700 Bob Billings Parkway. Santaularia said no construction was planned for the Monaco and Genoa buildings until the Barcelona building sold out. As of late September, the Barcelona building, which features 37 condominiums, was 25 percent sold, Santaularia said. The Bella Sera at The Preserve is the second project of its kind to open in Lawrence in the past two years, and it is part of a growing trend of new loft and condo projects throughout the Kansas City metro area. "I would expect that we'll have our first owners move into that building maybe the week or two before Thanksgiving," Santaularia said. The Hobbs Taylor Lofts, at Eighth and New Hampshire streets, opened in January 2006. Eric Danielson is vice president of business for Harris Construction Co., the company that runs the Hobbs Taylor Lofts. Although there are similarities in the timing, style and price of the projects, Danielson sees many differences as well. "It's a completely different product." Danielson said. "Theirs is outside the downtown area, and we appeal to the crowd that's more interested in an urban location." There are 32 units at the Hobbs Taylor Lofts, and Danielson said that all were sold. "Almost all the people here have some sort of connection with the University," Danielson said. "Either they are a professor, in administration or just working in some department." Hobbs Taylor sold its units unifurnished at $250,000, while Bella Sera's condos range from $300,000 to $1 million. Santaularia said that in terms of style of living the comparison between the two projects was fair, but that he couldn't find many similarities after that. Pat Brady, a senior mortgage consultant for Capital Federal Savings in Overland Park, has witnessed the growing trend of new condo projects in the Kansas City metro area. Brady was the principle loan agent for the loft project inside the Western Auto building at 2107 Grand Blvd. in Kansas City, Mo. That project, completed in 2004, includes 93 units ranging in price from $109,000 to $311,000. "With condos and lofts, you are basically targeting either young professionals or empty nesters", Brady said. "There is an element with condos where you don't have to worry about yard care or upkeep." Danielson said he thought baby boomers were ideal candidates for condos because most of their children would have left home. "They don't have a reason to have a three or four-bedroom house," Danielson said. Although baby boomers are a large chunk of the buying demographic, Santaularia said that there were other elements unique to Lawrence that would make Bella Sera successful. "Lawrence has a very broad base of interest from around the country because of the University," Santalaria said. "You have a lot of people who have ties to Lawrence that don't live here anymore." Santaularia said about half of the Bella Sera owners were utilizing their condos as second or third homes. Many of the buyers either used to live in Lawrence and want to come back, or they live in Lawrence now but want to spend time traveling. One problem that Bella Sera is facing is the decline in real estate markets. Santaularia said he was sure the decline in the real estate markets had affected some of the sales numbers at Bella Sera, but he didn't expect the trend to last forever. "I'm sure that our sales are softer based on what the economy is today," Santaularia said. "But Lawrence is certainly not as soft as the rest of the country, because we don't go through the ups and downs here." At least one local business is excited about the prospect of 37 new neighbors. Megan McQuin works as a barista at Limerance coffeehouse, 1520 Wakarusa Drive, one block from the Bella Sera site. McQuin said that she thought the new condos were good for the neighborhood. "Downtown is overdeveloped," McQuin said. "It's good that more and more things are moving out west." But there may be a ceiling on the number of new real estate projects that Lawrence can support. Santaularia said that he was sure a limit existed, but that it might take some time to learn where the ceiling was. Edited by Tara Smith YOU...THANKS FOR READING THE KANSAN. WE APPRECIATE IT.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM TUESDAY OCTOBER 16,2007 PAGE 6A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN EDITORIAL BOARD PAGE 6A LETTER TO THE EDITOR Campus activities bring attention to poverty The KU chapter of the Millennium Development Goals Organization offers ways to assist impoverished people No one person, one school or even one country can definitively end global poverty. In the admittedly unlikely event that poverty in the developing world is ever eradicated, it will be the result of cooperation on a vast scale. It will involve not only governments but private citizens doing what they can in their own way. This week, the KU chapter of the Millennium Development Goals Organization is sponsoring Global Poverty Week, with events each day to help raise awareness of poverty in places like sub-Saharan Africa and allow students to raise money for the Nothing but Nets program, which provides nets to people in Africa to help ward off disease-carrying insects. The Millennium Development Goals began in the United Nations. They set a timeline and benchmarks for various achievements in the developing world regarding health care, literacy, education and gender equality. KU's group, founded by Jessica Bergman, Louisburg senior, seeks to promote these same principles. Tonight at 7 p.m., the documentary "Silent Killer" will be shown in Alderson Auditorium. The film looks at the danger of famine in Africa. Students in various collaborating organizations will collect signatures for the "Pledge Against Poverty" on Wescoe Beach all day Wednesday. All cover collected at Abe & Jake's Landing Thursday night will go to the Nothing but Nets program. Finally, the GuluWalk takes place Saturday in honor of the dangerous journeys Ugandan children must make in their own country. Anyone and everyone at KU should be able to contribute something to poverty awareness this week. Simply educating oneself on problems facing places like Africa is a contribution. A pledge is nothing more than many individual signatures; it takes action on a personal scale to sign it and build it up. When action takes, at most, five minutes of someone's time, there is simply no excuse for not feeling like it or not having enough time. Ignoring poverty and the social ills—war, disease, famine—it breeds does not make it go away, and does not make it someone else's problem. It is a concern for us all. Students and faculty should not be made to feel guilty about their fortunate accidents of birth. They should not sign a petition, take a walk or see a film and promptly forget what those symbolize. Rather, they should take action out of a genuine concern for the global community, and a recognition that events in oneremote locations now affect us all, politically or economically. They ignore this at their own expense. Following this week, there will still be millions of people who live on less than a dollar a day. There will still be war, and people with inadequate medical care and education. However, it is only by taking things one person and one campus at a time that change can ever be truly implemented. People everywhere must own advancements in the developing world. If everyone has a stake in the success of other people, then it makes obliterating poverty that much more of a pressing issue. Get rid of the kickoff chant Football game mantra is obscene and reflects poorly on the school, fans The NCAA Division I is dedicated to providing student-athletes with student-athletes with an exemplary educational and intercollegiate athletics experience in an environment that recognizes and supports the primacy of the academic mission of its member institutions. Division I institutions are expected to maintain athletics programs that set rigorous standards of performance for both academic and athletics achievement by a diverse community of male and female student-athletes; that exemplify the highest level of sportsmanship and amateur athletics performance for the larger community; and that, in sum, are a source of pride for students faculty staff and alumni After reading your article, I was surprised that there were students that were actually yelling disgusting "chants" such as the one you listed in your article. I was so surprised and disgusted, I decided to write you and a few other of the staff members at the Kansan my thoughts. 1) I agree with Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony about his comments regarding the content of the "chant." This "chant", if you call it that, is an embarassment to the University of Kansas, its athletic programs, its athletes, and the student-body. It shows a lack of class, intelligence, creativity, and more importantly, sportsmanship. It shows that the students lack any originality, school spirit or competitiveness for their school and therefore resort to yelling obscenities. 2) Along with these chants, the shirts that many students wear that knock Missouri or K-State could not be even more distasteful. There is a clear line between school spirit and stupidity. Those shirts easily cross the line. I have seen some prospective students come for a campus visit with their parents and see students wearing those shirts and not surprisingly turn away with shock. 3) The University of Kansas is an institution of higher learning. We are all required to take and learn courses in english, the humanities, and speech communications and many more. This is to develop our ability to express ourselves in fruitful and civilized ways. But when you see students walking around like billboards with those shirts, it takes away from not only the richness and pride of your athletic programs, but also from the strength of its academic programs. 4) In response to Ryan McNabb's comment, "Once you think about it, it's pretty distasteful," I would have to say that you don't even have to think about it. Just hearing it is ugly enough. 5) The vulgar chants and distasteful shirts reminds me of a debate. Two gentlemen stand debating an issue using their ideas and minds. As one gentleman begins to lose ground due to the lack of strength in his arguments, he begins to attack the person and not the issue. Not a perfect analogy, of course, but let's remember what these athletic events are all about (as stated above). I hope that the Student Senate, the student body and friends of those participating in these chants are willing and intelligent enough to tell them how poorly they reflect on KU and its other students.

Schmidt, Eric Jorgensen, Darla Slipe, Kelsey Hayes, Bryan Dykman, Brandon T. Minister, Angelique McNaughton and Benjamin R. Smith --- THE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2007 NEWS 7A BASKETBALL Arthur, Collins shoulder great expectations this season BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com 00 Sarah Leonard/XANSAN Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur dribbles the ball down the baseline after pulling down a rebound during Late Night in the Phog. Arthur was named to the preseason All-Big 12 team by league coaches and is expected to be a key performer for the Jayhawks this season. Much of the preseason hype for Kansas basketball last season centered on incoming freshmen Sherron Collins and Darrell "Shady" Arthur. A year later, and it's the same story. Within three minutes of coach Bill Self's first press conference of the 2007 season, he was discussing his duo of highly heralded sophomores. "Shady and Sherron need to elevate their games consistently to play at the highest level from a production standpoint and make the same kind of jump that Julian and Mario made last year," Self said. "If we're able to do that and stay healthy then I think this is going to be an awfully fun team to coach." Self isn't the only one with rising expectations for Arthur and Collins, who were the Jayhawks' fourth and fifth leading scorers from a year ago. The Big 12 conference coaches showed they also think the sophomores will stand out in the 2007- 2008 season with preseason accolades. Arthur was named to the All-Big 12 team, while Collins garnered an honorable mention. Self said that although the preseason awards were meaningless, there was no denying that opponents have a reason to fear Arthur after a productive off-season. "I think he's the most improved, most matured player from a year ago, hands down," Self said. "His body has matured and he's always a great athlete, but I think he's gotten stronger and certainly more confident." "Shady" endeared himself to Kansas fans early last season. Starting for an injured Sasha Kaun, Arthur scored more than 20 points in two of Kansas' first three games. He finished off his incredible November with a 19-point, nine-rebound performance against eventual national champion Florida. But that would be the high point of Arthur's season. Although he remained a vital component of Kansas' frontcourt rotation, he never recorded more than 19 points again and often got into foul trouble. Arthur said he wouldn't fall into a similar slump this season. "Last year, I hit a wall. I just kind of backed up and didn't keep attacking like I was and didn't keep doing the good things I was doing to start off," Arthur said. "Hopefully, this year I'll be better. I'm a lot better with the team and have more chemistry with the team." Another problem the Jayhawks are hoping doesn't present itself again this season is Collins' weight. It wasn't until the middle of the season last year that the 5-foot-11 guard was able to reach his full potential because of his size. Rumors have circulated that Collins faced a similar predicament coming into this season. But before Late Night in the Phog, Collins said that wasn't true and that he was happy with his conditioning. Self echoed those sentiments and praised Collins for his continued effort in watching his weight. "I think he's worked really hard. Nobody in this athletics department burns more calories a day than Sherron," Self said. "What everyone else does, he does extra regardless of the situation." Most of the Kansas basketball players made it clear that anything less than a Final Four appearance would be a disappointment this season. To achieve that lofty goal the Jayhawks will have to rely more on the two sophomores, Arthur and Collins. Edited by Jeff Briscoe KANSAS first season averages Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Sophomore guard Sherron Collins powers up for two during a team scrimmage at Late Night in the Phog on Friday. Self has high expectations for Collins and his role in helping the Jayhawks make a Final Four appearance this year.

The Jayhawk defense held a potent Baylor pass offense to just 154 yards and forced four interceptions. Harris made six tackles and recorded the first interception of his young career Kansas coach Mark Mangino was quick to praise his defense for its performance last Saturday against Baylor, crediting freshman cornerchick Harris Chris and junior Rivera TOUGH BUFFS and Rivera made eight tackles and broke up a pass. Heading into Saturday's game, Mangino has handed out some accolades to the Jayhawks' next opponent. He said he expected Colorado to present Kansas with a challenge on both sides of the ball. Mangino specifically said senior linebacker Jordan Dizon and freshman quarterback Cody Hawkins were strong points of Colorado's team.

Cleveland takes lead in American League series CLEVELAND - Not their best. Not even second best. Jake Westbrook, right at home in the Jake, was exactly what the Cleveland Indians needed. Westbrook, an often overlooked third wheel in the rotation, kept Boston grounded for nearly seven innings Monday night, leading the Indians to a 4-2 win over the Red Sox and a 2-1 lead in the AL championship series. The laid-back right-hander, who missed a big chunk of the season with an injury, doesn't possess the overpowering stuff of either C.C. Sabathia or Fausto Carmona — Cleveland's two aces who flopped badly in Games 1 and 2 at Fenway Park — or their stellar reputations. ASSOCIATED PRESS Backed by an early homer from Kenny Lofton, Westbrook took a shutout into the seventh inning. But Westbrook does have a devastating sinkerball, and oh my, how it sunk the Red Sox. The Red Sox couldn't do much until the seventh, when Jason Varitek hit a two-run homer. Jensen Lewis relieved with a runner on and struck out rookie Dustin Pedroia to end the inning. Rafael Betancourt worked a perfect eighth and Joe Borowski, the AL saves leader, pitched a rare 1-2-3 ninth. Lofton, with a baseball passport stamped by 11 teams over 17 seasons, handed Westbrook an early lead with a two-run homer in the second innning off Daisuke Matsuzaka. Cleveland added two more runs in the fifth against the high-priced Japanese import, whom the Red Sox invested more than $100 million in to pitch in games like this. By comparison, Westbrook was a bargain at $33 million for the Indians, who locked him up in April for three more years before he had a chance to test the free-agent market after this season. Westbrook then spent seven weeks on the disabled list with a side injury and didn't find his groove until August, when he went 4-1 with a 1.90 ERA. But even then, Westbrook, who lost to the Red Sox Boston grounded into three double plays, two of them by David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez. on July 23, wasn't expected to shut down Boston. Westbrook was in complete control until J.D. Drew grounded a one-out single to center in the seventh. Varitek followed with a homer to center, bringing the Red Sox to 4-2. The homer ended Boston's 13- inning scoreless streak, a drought that began in the sixth inning of Game 2 on Saturday night. Lofton gave the Indians a 2-0 lead in the second with his seventh career postseason homer. Westbrook struck out Coco Crisp but when Julio Lugo beat out an infield single, manager Eric Wedge pulled his gutty starter, who received a thunderous ovation from the towel-waving crowd of 44,402 as he jogged to the dugout. The Red Sox ran themselves out of a potential scoring opportunity in the fourth. Ryan Garko singled with one out, and with two down, Lofton, traded back for his third stint with the Indians in July, turned on Matsuzaka's first pitch and sent it on a low trajectory and barely over the right-field wall. Ortiz ended an 0-for-8 drought vs. Westbrook with an opposite-field double off the wall in left, but ran into a hard hit ball by Ramirez creating an unusual double play. The Red Sox must be hoping that the October brilliance of Ortiz and Ramirez will return tomorrow to keep them in the series.

Although Meier lost the starting position this season to sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing, he has found his way to the field in other ways, playing almost any position coach Mark Manqino requests. KANSAN FILE PHOTOS Jayhawks continue to find multiple uses for former starting quarterback; Meier lines up as punter BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Two Saturdays ago, Mark Mangino made a curious decision. Faced with what seemed like an obvious early-game punting situation — fourth-and-nine at his team's 33-yard line — Mangino didn't send his punter out. Instead he placed two quarterbacks on the field. Sophomore Todd Reeing lined up along the sideline, looking like a miniature wide receiver. Sophomore Kerry Meier stood a few yards behind the center and awaited the snap. Mangino's unconventional maneuver grabbed the attention of plenty of confused reporters stationed in the Bill Snyder Family Stadium press box. Most importantly, it also raised suspicion on the opposite sideline. Kansas State coach Ron Prince immediately called a timeout. Ever since it made a tricky debut against Kansas State, the odd formation has become commonplace for Kansas. That's because Meier has added the title of punter to his already extensive résumé. In the last two games, Meier has booted the ball four times and averaged 32.2 yards per punt. "It ites us an opportunity either to punt or still have offensive personnel to execute an offensive play," Mangino said of the quarterback-as-punter scheme. Though Kansas has not attempted a fake out of the formation this season, the mere presence of the 6-foot-2, 220-pound quarterback lined up deep behind the center is enough to set off opposing coaches' mental alarm bells. Meier can run (60 rushing yards in 2007), catch (51 receiving yards), throw (15-of-19, 130 passing yards) and punt (named all-league as a punter at Pittsburg High School). The concept of Meier punting was not added to Kansas' repertoire on a whim. Senior punter Kyle Tucker has battled inconsistency all season, the low point coming last weekend against Baylor when he averaged just 33.5 yards per punt and stood on the sideline while Meier booted three of the team's seven punts. "It's not that we're going to bench Kyle. We're just trying to alleviate some of the pressure because he has been pressured." Mangino said. "In baseball they call it a slump, I guess. He needs to snap out of it because we need him — he's been a good player for us over the years." No matter the motivation, Meier is content to play any role the coaching staff sees fit. After Reeing took over as the starting quarterback at the beginning of the season, Meier was a superb athlete without a home on the football field. Now that he has found temporary residence at a number of positions, Kansas could be all the better for it. "Kerry's such a good athlete, and he's 100 percent healthy now," offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said. "We want to try to utilize him, so we're just trying to find ways for him to help our offense." — Edited by Elizabeth Cattell COMMENTARY I's 2:13 p.m. on a Monday afternoon, and 1,810 people are logged on to the message boards of Phog.net, an affiliate of the Scout.com recruiting Web site. Surf over to Phog.net's main competition, JayhawkSlant.com, a Rivals.com affiliate, and you'll see more than 500 users signed on. On Phog.net's Hoops Talk message board, the topics hit on everything from debates about Cole Aldrich's potential to threads featuring links to Kansas news on other Web sites. But the foundation of these Web sites and the message-board culture they propagate is recruiting. Want to know what Marcus and Markieff Morris thought of their visit to Late Night in the Phog on Friday? That's easy. Sign on to Phog.net or JayhawkSlant.com and get up-to-the-minute information on their status. By the way, they didn't commit to Kansas over the weekend, but they left Lawrence impressed That's not good enough for you? Well, go check the Phog.net message boards and read eyewitness fan reports on the twins' weekend visit to Lawrence. Or, "So, my brother's friend's sister's cousin saw them on Mass. Street with the coaches on Saturday morning. I tell you what, Self had those boys on the ground laughing. Man, that guy can recruit." You'll read tidbits like, "Hey, I think one of 'em just cracked a smile during the skits. Dude, we are so in." Ryan Boatwright, a 14-year-old freshman from the Chicago area, verbally committed to play basketball at USC — last summer. Never mind that Boatwright hadn't even chosen a high school yet. By the time he suits up for a college basketball game in 2011, we could be talking about who the best Republican candidates are to take on the incumbent President Obama in 2012 Think that sounds a little creepy? Check this out. But the real problem is the damage Take the case of Wille Warren, Rivals.com lists Warren, a Ft. Worth, Texas, native, as the 12th-ranked high school senior in the country. Warren is a sensational prep talent, but his recruitment has had more twists and turns than an episode of "Days of Our Lives." And every day, recruiting analysts and message-board culture feed the monster; asking questions like, "What's Wille doing now? When will he decide吧? What's his favorite color?" BY RUSTIN DODD RDODD@KANSAN.COM done to teenage boys. By the time the hype machine chews these kids up and spits them out, every one of them thinks he's the next LeBron James. Maybe it's not fair to pick on Warren. After all, he's only a high school kid, and he's trying to make the most important decision of his But it's hard to miss the humor that comes along with recruitments that tend to resemble a season of "The Bachelor," with schools getting eliminated one by one. The scary part is that recruiting Web sites are not the only players in the game. Mainstream media outlets such as ESPN and Sports Illustrated use up ink and Web site space for recruiting every week, and Yahoo bought Rivals.com last summer for a rumored $100 million. Bill Self. will you accept this rose? So what's next? A list of the Top 100 kindergarten basketball players in the nation? Laugh if you want, but you better believe it. It's not that far off. Edited by Tara Smith BASKETBALL The early signing period begins in November, and only two players have verbally committed, junior college forward Mario Little and Bishop Miege High School guard Travis Releford. That's a problem. Kansas badly needs recruits because it could have as many as seven scholarships available a season from now. The Jayhawks lose five seniors and could lose junior guard Brandon Rush and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur to the NBA Draft. Both players are projected as first- round picks. Recruiting class yet to take shape "It's always important," said Dave Telep, writer for recruiting service Scout.com, about signing recruits. "But when you have the number of openings Kansas does, it's imperative." Rivals ranking: Three stars Taylor, a point guard, is not as highly ranked as these other recruits, but he plays high school basketball at St. Anthony in New Jersey, meaning he has learned from coach Bob Hurley. Hurley has a reputation for producing some of toughest and most intelligent players in the country. According to Rivals, Kansas and Virginia Tech are his top choices. He's already visited Tech. Prediction: VIRGINIA TECH Willie Warren mdent@kansan.com Videos at Late Night in the Phog on Friday night highlighted NBA players from Kansas and the tradition that dates back to when real peach baskets sat atop basketball goals. If they made the night seem like a sales pitch to recruits Markieff and Marcus Morris, there's a reason: Kansas could really use both of them It's not like Kansas coach Bill Self isn't try-ing. He's not allowed to comment on recruiting because of NCAA rules, but several of the players he has offered scholarships to have committed to different schools. These players have Kansas high on their lists of potential schools. Based on comments from Shay Wildeboro, senior editor for Kansas.rivals.com, and information from Rivals.com, The Kansan has judged each player and predicted where he will go. J'Mison Morgan Kansas will badly need help in the paint with the loss of Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson and the possible loss of Darrell Arthur after this season. Morgan, who attends the same high school as Arthur did, would be a perfect Rivals' ranking: Five stars This Fort Worth, Texas, point guard is ranked No. 12 overall in the class of 2008 and would fill in nicely for the loss of Russell Robinson. But don't get your hopes up fans. He visited Oklahoma last weekend to see the Oklahoma-Missouri football game. Warren is scheduled to visit Kansas on Friday. Prediction: OKLAHMA who will commit to KU? Tyshawn Taylor Rivals ranking: Three star RIVAS ranking: Four stars The twin power forwarded for Late Night in the Phog and told Jayhawkslant.com the experience was great. They might still be thinking about Villanova because they're from Philadelphia, but the guys will probably end up Jayhawks. Prediction: KANSAS DeAndre Liggins may have hurt the most. Liggins, Rivals.com's 21st-stank player in the class of 2008, picked Kentucky instead of Kansas during the summer. Shay Wildeboor, senior editor for Kansas.rivals.com, said Liggins was 99 percent committed to Kansas before switching to Kentucky after an unofficial visit. Other top-75 recruits who spurned Self's offer include Romero Osby, Terrance Henry and Brandon Jennines. Markieff and Marcus Morris Rivals ranking: Four stars fit. Unlike Arthur, he'll make his decision early. **Prediction:** KANSAS "They spent so much time with Monroe and rolled the dice," Wildeboor said. "I'm surprised he wouldn't come for a visit." Two other recruits, No. 1 Greg Monroe and No. 22 Tyler Zeller, didn't include Kansas on their final lists when experts thought they were strongly considering the lawhaws. "Has Kansas lost on key targets?" Wildeboor said. "No question. But they definitely have some talented players in the mix." included four players ranked in the top 100: Russell Robinson, C.J. Giles, Darnell Jackson and Sasha Kaun. His second class was even better. He signed McDonald's All-Americans Micah Downs, Mario Chalmers and Julian Wright, then later added Brardon Rush. KU fans aren't used to this. When Self rolled the dice recruiting in previous years, he rarely came up with snake-eyes. His first class The past two years have included McDonald's All-Americans Sherron Collins, Darrell Arthur and Cole Aldrich. This year's recruiting class can't compare — yet. Two could come as a package deal. The Morris twins, who visited for Late Night, are scheduled to visit Villanova this week, but Wildeboor said there was a good chance they would commit to Kansas. Willie Warren and J'Mison Morgan, who are both ranked in Rivals' Top 25, are also strongly considering the Jayhaws. "Knowing the guys they were recruiting, it was going to take a while for them to go through the process," Telep said. "They're right there with Morgan and the twins, and those three kids along with Releford would be terrific." Besides, it's never too late to snag a great recruiting class. In 2004. Downs committed in the spring but was relatively unknown. Chalmers came next. Self's recruiting class was nothing special at the time. Then, Wright committed in the fall without visiting and Downs' ranking soared after a great summer. All of a sudden, Self had a very good class with Downs, Chalmers and Wright. Rush made it a great class. He joined the team after the start of school — the ultimate late signing. "It was a situation where KU might've missed early on, but swooped in late and got some guys," Wildeboro said. "This year has the potential to be the same." Self and the fans will know Kansas' fate soon. The Morris twins are expected to decide in the next two weeks. Morgan will make his choice on his birthday, Nov. 2. Warren is scheduled to visit this weekend.

The report may cause a discussion among the Parking Commission about potentially changing parking and traffic flow on the street. The report came from Professional Engineering Consultants, which observed traffic patterns on campus last spring. Last week they presented a report to the Commission and recommended changes based off of the data. Professional Engineering Consultants is a consulting firm in Topeka that the Parking Department hired to look into the conditions of campus roads and monitor traffic and parking patterns last spring. The report contained recommendations of what adjustments could be made. Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said the company was paid about $19,000 and frequently works for the University. Hultine said that the firm was hired last year after Jason Boots, then student body president, asked the Parking Department to look into putting bike lanes on Jayhawk Boulevard. She said that Professional Engineering Consultants was hired to make general observations and suggestions about traffic, parking and possible bike lanes on the street. Hultine said that this year's Commission will now discuss the best way to use the information. "I think that the Commission is going to start fresh and look at everything." Hutine said. "We will always need to have accessible parking." Hultine said that even if gold parking spaces were removed from Jayhawk Boulevard, spots would still be needed for service vehicles and handicapped parking. The only vehicles allowed to pass through the control booths are service vehicles, emergency vehicles, buses and vehicles with a gold parking permit. Mike Berry, director of the Topeka office of Professional Engineering Consultants, said that the changes proposed by the company were intended to reduce parking and traffic on Jayhawk Boulevard, including eliminating "gold zone" parking. "The big problem is we have too many people who have authority to get past traffic booths and get up on main campus," Berry said. Berry said that service vehicles would sometimes cut through campus for convenience when they are not doing something that requires driving across jayhawk Boulevard. He said that the University needs to more closely regulate these situations. Berry said that having parking zones directly on Jayhawk Boulevard creates congestion because people look for parking spots but may not actually park there. Emily Williams, Overland Park senior, student senator and member of the Parking Commission, said that the bike lanes, which were originally proposed by Boots to go down the center of Jayhawk Boulevard, could cause a safety issue. "Part of my concern with the bike lanes is the location the bike lanes were proposed — down the center of the lane," Williams said. "I would prefer to have bike lanes on the outside of the road." Williams said that she saw the concern people had about keeping gold zone parking spaces on Jayhawk Boulevard, but she also wanted to protect student spots. She wanted Hultine said that implementing the bike lanes may still be discussed by the Commission. to ensure that taking away spots from gold ticket holders did not result in a loss of student parking spots. Hultine said that the next step was to gather opinions from members of the Parking Commission. She also said that at the next meeting on Nov. 13, the Commission would discuss changing the requirements of owning a gold parking permit. The purchase a gold parking permit, a staff member must be 62 years of age with service to the University and an office between the control booths on lajhwack Boulevard. Hutline said that the Commission will discuss how to make this permit more difficult to obtain while still allowing every staff member who currently has one to keep it.

Matthew Jaeger, a KU student charged with four felonies last week, is trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The main objective ofjiu-jitsu is taking a person down to the ground and forcing them to submit. People use chokeholds and joint locks asjiu-jitsu techniques.Myles Baker, program director at Premier Martial Arts in Lawrence, said jiu-jitsu is usually taught for defense, not for aggression.

Group discusses gender issues AWARENESS Students representing various KU organizations discussed what role gender plays in their organization Tuesday. The Commission on the Status of Women hosted "Making A Difference" to exchange ideas of ways to raise awareness about gender issues on campus. "Our main goal is to end gender discrimination through education," CSW president Liz Stuewe said. Students discussed ways to bring more awareness about gender issues to campus through their organizations. The group decided on a Women's History Month community service project focusing on derogatory language used against women. The event is celebrated in March. Professor Joey Sprague said the groups' work was important because power rests in numbers, and small, committed groups of people like CSW could make a difference.

A Scranton woman who allegedly shouted profanities at her overflowing toilet within earshot of a neighbor was cited for disorderly conduct, authorities said. Dawn Herb could face up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $300 "It doesn't make any sense. I was in my house. It's not like I was outside or drunk," Herb told The Times-Tribune of Scranton. "The toilet was overflowing and leaking down into the kitchen and I was yelling (for my daughter) to get the mop." Herb doesn't recall exactly what she said, but she admitted letting choice words fly near an open bathroom window Thursday night Mary Catherine Roper, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union in Philadelphia, took issue with the citation. Her next-door neighbor, a city police officer who was off-duty at the time, asked her to keep it down, police said. When she continued, the officer called police.

She also alleges that the hydrangeas were wilted and brown, and arranged in dusty vases without enough water. The flowers cost $27,435.14. The lawsuit asks for more than $400,000 in restitution and damages. Stamos Arakas, the florist, said that he and his wife, Paula, tried to match the color of the hydrangeas with a picture Glatt had given them, but explained to her that the colors might not look the same. "My father used to tell me, Don't deal with the lawyers," Arakas said. "Maybe he was right, God bless his soul."

GOVERNMENT NAIC makes allegations against insurance law Former North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Jim Poolman had a leading role in drafting the measure. The NAIC letter was in response to a letter sent last month by a group of consumer advocates that urged the association to reopen debate on the new life-insurance law and to strengthen the association's conflict-of-interest policy. A letter signed by the top officers of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners defends the law, and says supports efforts to persuade state legislatures to adopt it.

Deaths tied to these infections may exceed those caused by AIDS, said one public health expert commenting on the new study. The report shows just how far one form of the staph germ has spread beyond its traditional hospital setting. The overall incidence rate was about 32 invasive infections per 100,000 people. That's an "asounding" figure, said an editorial in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association, which published the study Most drug-resistant staph cases are mild skin infections. But this study focused on invasive infections — those that enter the bloodstream or destroy flesh and can turn deadly. Researchers found that only about one-quarter involved hospitalized patients. However, more than half were in the health care system — people who had recently had surgery or were on kidney dialysis, for example. Open wounds and exposure to medical equipment are major ways the bug spreads. In recent years, the resistant germ has become more common in hospitals and it has been spreading through prisons, gyms and locker rooms, and in poor urban neighborhoods. The new study offers the broadest look yet at the pervasiveness of the most severe infections caused by the bug, called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. These bacteria can be carried by healthy people, living on their skin or in their noses. An invasive form of the disease is being blamed for the death Monday of a 17-year-old Virginia high school senior. Doctors said the germ had spread to his kidneys, liver, lungs and muscles around his heart. The researchers' estimates are extrapolated from 2005 surveillance data from nine mostly urban regions considered representative of the country. There were 5,287 invasive infections reported that year in people living in those regions, which would translate to an estimated 94,360 cases nationally, the researchers said. Most cases were life-threatening bloodstream infections. However, about 10 percent involved so-called flesh-eating disease, according to the study led by researchers at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There were 988 reported deaths among infected people in the study, for a rate of 6.3 per 100,000. That would translate to 18,650 deaths annually, although the researchers don't know if MRSA was the cause in all cases. If these deaths all were related to staph infections, the total would exceed other better-known causes of death including AIDS—which killed an estimated 17,011 Americans in 2005—aid Dr. Elizabeth Bancroft of the Los Angeles County Health Department, the editorial author. JIU-JITSU Martial art teaches defense not violence BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Every media description of KU student Matthew Jaeger, who was recently charged with a violent crime, has included his involvement with Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Local jiu-jitsu instructors said this is unfair to the martial art, which is more often taught for defense. "The advantage of Brazilian jiu-jitsu is that it allows a much smaller and weaker opponent to overpower their attacker with technique," instructor Robert Riley said. "There is no evidence to suggest that he used it in any way." Riley teaches Brazilian jujitsu classes at Integrated Martial Science in Lawrence. He said he had met jaeger before and seen him a few times. Jaeger was never a member at Integrated Martial Science, and Riley barely knew him. He did know about Jaeger's reputation. According to court documents, Jaeger allegedly battered a woman inside her apartment and took her to his car. Violent actions like this are not common with those well-trained in jiu-jitsu, according to Riley. At Premier Martial Arts in Lawrence, instructors teach students jiu-jitsu techniques to defend themselves. "It just helps our students be well rounded in an altercation because most students end up on the ground," said Myles Baker, program director and KU student. "It's an effective way to stop a fight in terms of them submitting or giving up. We have a rule where everyone is taught to use it as a defender, not an instigator." The origins of Brazilian ju- jitsu, also known as the gentle art, date back about 100 years. The objective of the sport is to take the other person to the ground. Once Trust instincts Free Self Defense Workshop The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center is sponsoring a workshop from 7 to 8:30 tonight at the Rec Center. Kathy Ros-Mockry of the Women's Resource Center said they'll teach people how to evaluate situations where defense is necessary and how to make the correct decision for each situation. She said people should always trust their instincts when facing an attacker and realize that friends can be dangerous too. "It might be a stranger, but most assaults happen with somebody you know," Ros-Mockry said. "Those techniques are very important with someone you know." on the ground, a fighter tries to use a joint lock or a chokehold to restrain the other fighter. The use of these moves allows the fighter to gain control over the other fighter's body and hold him down with leverage and his clothing. "There is no more helpless feeling." Riley said. "It's like trying to fight someone when you're wrapped in a sleeping bag." A fight ends when one of the fighters taps out. Although Riley admitted jiu-jitsu is a contact sport with some violent actions, he said those who were well-trained knew how to use it appropriately. "People involved in jiu-jitsu become humbled and disciplined," Riley said. "The beauty of the art is you can restrain someone without hurting them."

The film will first be featured, along with Jones, as part of a story about Phelps for ABC's "20/20" that will air on Nov 16. Then the complete film will premiere nationally in high-definition on Showtime as part of a five-figure contract Jones signed this summer. "Ryan is the first (KU) student to have had a film originated for a class be sold to a major cable channel," said Matt Jacobson, associate professor of film, who taught Jones. "It is the first film to garner major national attention. That doesn't happen every day." Though Jones said he is excited and thankful for what this might do for his career, he described his emotions over the success as a mixed bag. Jones stresses the emotional anguish that comes from documenting Phelps, who is infamous for his controversial protests at funerals of Iraq war soldiers and AIDS victims. Jones started filming Phelps for a school project for Jacobson in 2005. He spent a year shooting additional footage to complete the documentary, gaining intimate access to Phelps, his church and his family. Jones wants to move on. "I've been ready to be done with this for 18 of the past 24 months," Jones said. "If I had known it was going to go on this long I don't know if I would have done it. It has kind of become cumbersome because I've become somewhat of an expert." Although Phelps and his followers are generally known to seek attention, especially from the media, Jones was not surprised with their reaction to the news. "They were kind of noncha-lant," Jones said. "I didn't expect anything else really. The woman I talked to said 'Well, we don't get Showtime." Jones said he is often asked if he feels he is helping create yet another platform for Phelps' messages. Jones said this idea no longer bothers him. "Yes it is giving their message a wider audience but it's falling on unsupportive ears," Jones said. "For me it's just about educating people on who these people are and how they relate to our society." Jones estimates more than 5,000 people have seen the film, including members of Phhells' Westboro Baptist Church. The film gained much of its national attention after being shown in March at the film festival South by Southwest in Texas. Jones also said that the DVD for the film should be available sometime in January, though an official deal is still in the works. The national interest with the film has given Jones dual celebrity. Naturally, with the success of the film came professional acclaim but with that came a less-expected association with the films' subjects. "He became very personally identified with his subjects," Jacobson said. Jones said his role in the "20/20" story will be as more of an expert rather than a filmmaker. Jones is living in New York to further his film career and is eager to start other projects, such as a film on the writer J.D. Salinger. Edited by Amelia Freidline LAWRENCE Lawrence ordinances target dog fighting ALEXANDER KWANZA BY ANDY GREENHAW editor@kansas.com editor@kansan.com "It was obvious they were victims (Steve Helber/ASSOCIATED PRESS) Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick arrives with his attorney Billy Martin, right, at federal court in Richmond, Va., Monday, Aug. 27, 2007. Vick's attorney will appear in Sury County court Wednesday where he faces further charges relating to doofitting. When Lawrence Humane Society officials entered Ernest Martin's garage 10 years ago, a pit bull lay decaying on the garage floor. The dead animal was covered with garbage and its throat had been ripped open in a dog fight. Five other dogs were tied up in the backyard suffering infected wounds, cropped ears, filed teeth, and other injuries from previous dog fights. Lawrence officials seized all 16 of Martin's pit bulbs, including 11 puppies. Authorities charged Martin with dog fighting, but the prosecutor could not build a strong enough case against him. In order to convict someone of dog fighting under Kansas law in 1997, the individual had to be caught in the act. Instead, the court convicted Martin of animal cruelty and sentenced him to a year in prison. He was released in six months. Dog fighting as a sport gained national attention when Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick plead guilty to conspiracy charges related to the sport. Midge Grinstead, director of the Lawrence Humane Society said that dog fighting in Lawrence declined significantly since the Martin incident. In the past 10 years, the number of physically abused pit bulls brought to the Lawrence Humane Society dropped from 600 to two according to invoice receipts verified by Grinstead. Much of the information on the receipts is classified for legal reasons. "Dog fighting is no longer a problem in Lawrence," Grinstead said. "But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Ten years ago, the Lawrence Humane Society took in mistreated pit bulls on an almost-daily basis. Grinstead said she received dogs with bones protruding through their skin, muscle tendons hanging from their limbs, and infected wounds covered in pus. of dog fights." Grinstead said. Before the ordinance the City of Lawrence could do little to stop dog fighting, said Anthony Barnett, owner of Home Sweet Home Dog Resort, 2140 Haskell Avenue. Barnett, who specializes in raising pit bulls, said the sport was much If the owner is found guilty, a microchip must be inserted into the animal with registration and ownership information. If an owner fails to keep the dog confined, he or she is criminally prosecuted, and the dog is euthanized. The number of injured pit bulls dropped to 100 the year after Lawrence officials enacted the Dangerous Dog Ordinance in 2000. The ordinance requires that if the public considers a dog to be a threat to society, the owner must keep it heavily restrained. When an owner does not comply with the ordinance, officials can confiscate the dog and take the case to court. more organized before 2000 than it is today and almost impossible to access. "It itused to be like infiltrating a drug cartel," Barnett said. "Dog fighting organizations are extremely close-knit groups." Since the 2000 ordinance was enacted, it has helped to bring about 30 cases of animal cruelty involving dog fighting to civil court. Douglas County challenged the local dog fighting industry in 2003 with the passage of its Vicious Dog Ordnance. The ordinance outlawed equipment that could be used to train dogs to fight, including jump cords, tread mills, weight harnesses, and injection steroids. The ordinance allowed the search of property belonging to those possessing such equipment and permitted the houses of suspected dog fighters to be inspected. Grinstead said she thought the ordinance helped significantly in the fight against dog fighting. The Lawrence Humane Society took in fewer than 25 battle-weary pit bulls in 2005. "The Vicious Dog Ordinance gave us a way to get in the door," Grinstead said. "Before, it was almost impossible to investigate people we suspected of dog fighting." Another change came in July 2006, when Grinstead hired a lobbyist to pushed the Kansas Legislature to increase the crime of animal cruelty from a misdemeanor to a felony. The Senate voted unanimously to increase the severity of the law. Today, those convicted of animal cruelty in Kansas must serve at least 30 days in jail and pay a fine ranging from $500 to $5,000. Since the tougher penalties were enacted, the Lawrence Humane Society has brought in only three injured pit bulls. — Edited by Ashlee Kieler october Biggest HALLOWEEN Party BIG MONEY for the best costumes! $1 ALMOST ANYTHING ABE&JAKE'S 8 EAST SIXTH STREET • LAWRENCE, KS LANDING Check out our new web site www.abejakes.com 841-5855 ask listen solve SCROUNGIN' FOR CHANGE DOES NOT MAKE YOUR COUCH AN ATM.

A parked car bomb exploded near an Iraqian army check point in Saadon street, killing six including four civilians and injuring 25 others, police said. BAGHDAD — An explosives-laden sewage truck blew up near a police station and a car bomb struck an Iraqi army checkpoint Tuesday — attacks that bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida and showed extremists can still hit hard despite recent gains by U.S.-led forces. A U.S. military spokesman said the terror network is on the run in some areas, but it "obviously remains very lethal." The bombings and a series of shootings mainly targeted Iraqi security forces and tribal leaders facing internal rivalries, but bystanders also were struck. At least 25 people were killed or found dead nationwide. The deadliest attack occurred when a car blew up near a gas station across the street from an Iraqi army checkpoint, killing four civilians and two Iraqi soldiers and wounding 25 others. Flames shot out from a military pickup as ambulances raced to the scene, driving past a long concrete barrier that recently was decorated with murals by local artists in an attempt to beautify the city. It was the latest in a series of car bombings in the capital despite stringent security measures put in place as part of a U.S.-Iraqi military operation — now in its ninth month — and celebrations marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. In the northern city of Mosul, a suicide bomber in a sewage pump truck detonated his payload as he approached a police station recently rebuilt after four previous attacks, police said. The blast collapsed most of the building, killing at least four policemen, including the station chief, and wounding 75 people, police said. A police spokesman, Brig. Gen. Mohammed al-Waqqa, said several nearby shops and cars were damaged. Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, has seen a rise in violence that many blame in part on an influx of militants who fled the Baghdad security crackdown. Nobody claimed responsibility for the attacks, but both bombings bore the hallmarks of Sunni Arab insurgents, particularly al-Qaida in Iraq. The terror group had promised to step up attacks during Ramadan, which ended over the weekend with the Eid al-Fitr holiday. Gunmen also killed a Sunni tribal leader who recently turned against al-Qaida in an ambush west of Baghdad that also left his son and another relative dead, police said. A Shiite tribal chieftain was killed in a drive-by shooting in the southern city of Nasriyah, the latest victim in violence between Shiite groups jockeying for power in the oil-rich region. U. S. commanders have said the increase in troops ordered by President Bush in January — and the increased operations that followed — have left al-Qaida fractured and pushed militants into remote parts of the north and south. Additional operations have been going after those pockets of fighters. Officials have cited a drop in suicide bombings, from more than 60 in January to some 30 a month since July, along with a decrease in the flow of foreign fighters across the borders. But they acknowledge they have been unable to stop the car bombings and suicide attacks usually blamed on al-Qaida in Iraq, which is sometimes referred to by the initials AQI. "We are not ready to declare anything other than that we have done significant damage to AQI and it is on the run in many areas," said Col. Steven Boylan, a spokesman for the top U.S. commander, Gen. David Petraeus. Al-Qaida in Iraq "obviously remains very lethal," Boylan said. Another U.S. spokesman in Baghdad, Rear Adm. Greg Smith, noted the numbers of car bombs have dropped significantly and are causing fewer casualties since the security operation began. "We have certainly taken a great deal of the network down, a lot of leaders, facilitators, financiers," he said. "But it's clear out here we've got an enemy that's got a lot of fight left in him." Iraqis have enjoyed periods of relative calm in the past, particularly after the killing last year of al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, but the group has proved resilient in finding new recruits and tactics to maintain its attacks. Smith was optimistic that recent success in turning tribal leaders and other citizens against extremists would have a long-term effect, but he cautioned it was still early to declare victory. "The trends are in the right direction," he said. "But to call it anything other than what it is — which is a tough fight — would be irresponsible at this point." The U.S. military announced the arrest of several militants on both sides of the sectarian divide, including one of five extremists believed to be behind last week's rocket attack that killed two American soldiers at Camp Victory, the headquarters for American forces in Iraq. The suspect was detained along with three associates early Monday by U.S. soldiers, who roasted them from the Agriculture Ministry in Baghdad where they were hiding, according to a statement. "We have reason to believe that, through two intelligence-driven operations over the last few days, we now have detained all of the leadership and the key operatives of the indirect fire cell that attacked Victory Base last week," said Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks, deputy commander of Baghdad operations. The statement did not identify the militants, but the Agriculture Ministry is run by Shiite Muslims with a heavy influence by the Mahdi Army militia that is loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

Tuesday, Tasks focused on preparations for the U.S.-sponsored international peace conference on the Middle East planned for next month. Amr Nabil/ASSOCIATED PRESS Rice's bid wins public support CAIRO, Egypt — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice won public support Tuesday for a Mideast peace conference from a skeptical Egypt, boosting her bid to secure critical Arab backing for pushing Israel and the Palestinians to resume formal negotiations to end their conflict. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said at a news conference with Rice that she had given them "a lot of trust and confidence" about American intentions for the meeting. Pressing ahead with an intense four-day shuttle diplomacy mission, Rice appeared to have convinced the Egyptians of U.S. seriousness in organizing the conference to be held in Annapolis, Md. in November or December. "She has helped us to understand the American objective," Aboul Gheit said. "We feel encouraged regarding what we heard from Secretary Rice and promised her that we would help and we would help the parties as well in order to achieve the objective." "We will continue to work and help them to create this document and we will then be in a position I think fairly soon to talk about when this meeting ought to take place," Rice said. Aboul Gheit said Rice had assured the Egyptian government that President Bush, who announced in July that the conference would be held in the fall, was committed to forging an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal before he leaves office in January 2009. The Bush administration is particularly interested in having Saudi Arabia, which does not have a peace deal with the Jewish state, attend the conference that it sees as a springboard for a comprehensive resolution to the wider Arab-Israeli conflict. "She says that she is determined, and the president of the United States is determined to have a breakthrough during the remaining year of this administration," Aboul Gheit said. "We have to believe them. I cannot doubt them." Rice warned that there is hard work ahead but hoped that a specific date for the meeting, which has not been scheduled, and invitations to attend could be announced soon. lenges in getting the Israelis and Palestinians to agree to a joint declaration to present for the conference, smiled and nodded as Aboul Gheit spoke. Rice, who is facing daunting chal Two senior U.S. officials said later, however, they did not expect a date or invitation list to be issued this week. Rice has since been urging pushing Israeli and Palestinian leaders to push ahead in their talks on the document and on Monday declared that now is the time for the creation of a Palestinian state, which she said is a key U.S. interest.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2007 NOT SO ANGELIC Part-time waitress looking for full-time respect For a waitress trying to do is serve dinner, a little sincerity greatly pads a 15 percent tip ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON ANGELLOHE MCNAUGHTON Would you like any cream with your coffee?" "We're Swedish, we don't use cream." Ha, that's a new one, was all I could think after filling up their mugs with the fresh, steaming coffee. I'm a waitress at a steakhouse, and the job is never boring, with the customers keeping me on my toes with condiment requests or complaints of under or overcooked steaks, making my evenings hell sometimes. Being a waitress is convenient because a majority of employers are sympathetic to students and their flexible scheduling needs. If you're a people person, it's also fun to talk to and meet new people and families every day. Interactions vary from the one above, with my customers having foreign accents, to guys older than my dad hitting on me. However the day ting on me. However, the day to day interactions aren't always laughable or pleasant and don't always constitute a proper payoff for the flexibility. At times, I just want to scream; I choose to stifle my outbursts by going to the back and venting to my cooks instead, who say I remind them of the waitress on the movie "Waiting," with Ryan Reynolds. I don't enjoy getting angry at work. As a server, all we are trying to do is serve dinner and keep drinks filled, in a pleasant manner. All the while, hoping you leave us the suggested and much needed, might I add, 15 percent tip for our services. As a job requirement, I have to approach people in a nice, friendly way, so why some people are rude from our first interaction is beyond me. A government study found that 7 percent of full-time health and food industry workers, such as those who care for the elderly or children or are food and drink servers, battle with depression. Judging from the gems that I encounter as a part-time waitress, I think anger management might be more plausible. I'm not trying to imply that everyone I've waited on has been rude to me, but I get at least one unhappy customer a night. I work part-time to pay for bills and my personal expenses, but I'm a full-time student. Although it's not a career preparing job, it helps me be somewhat independent of my parents. It is a job though, and I, as well as other servers, should receive a reasonable amount of respect. We don't come to your job and disrespect you or question your intelligence, so is it necessary to do it to us? Tough skin is a respected attribute when serving. Keep in mind we are accountable for what the cooks prepare, and I would like to stress cooks prepare (some people are under the impression that we cook and serve), as well as our own responsibilities. Next time your friends and you opt for an evening out at one of Lawrence's many fine dining restaurants, all I ask is that you think twice before going left on your server for an error in your order. Remember the saying, "treat others as you want to be treated," because we are serving your food, and it is ok to leave more than 15 percent tip. It is even greatly encouraged.

MAX RINKEL SIX YEARS IN UNDERGRAD Soccer ball key ingredient in living healthier life Danish study cites soccer as a more effective means of weight loss and cholesterol reduction than jogging BETSY MCLEOD Good news guys. A new study confirms that playing with your balls is better for your health than jogging a mile. You too, ladies. When it comes to balls, the more you juggle, the lower your chances are of getting heart disease. Don't get confused, because the balls I'm talking about are big, bouncy and black and white. That's right. Soccer balls are the secret weapons for living a healthier lifestyle. With all the convenience of treadmills and ellipticals, soccer balls everywhere have been ignored, gathering dust on the top shelf of a hall closet or slowly deflating in the back of a garage. But now there are more reasons than ever to bust out the balls and ditch A three-month study in Denmark put together three groups of men of roughly the same size and of the same health backgrounds and told each group to play soccer, jog or do no exercise. After 12 weeks, the soccer players lost 80 percent more weight, experienced a greater reduction in cholesterol, gained more muscle and had more energy than the joggers. Of course the group that did no exercise had no changes. the repetitive motions of the Stairmaster 3000. These different results are due to of the amount of physical intensity soccer requires, keeping the player's heart rate close to maximum capacity. Soccer players constantly use different muscles, providing the same workout as using several different weight-lifting machines at once. Because trained muscles contain more fat-burning enzymes than non-trained muscles, soccer players tend to have more muscle and the hottest bods. More fat-burning enzymes also mean lower cholesterol and a lower risk heart disease. Even if you aren't a fairly-talented foot fairy, never fear—the KU Recreation Center offers dozens of intramural sports from basketball to lacrosse, and the best part is that you don't have to be good at any of them to join. I was never any good at handeye-foot coordination, but the best part about intramural soccer is that even if you have no idea what you're doing—like I didn't—you can still run around aimlessly on the field and look like you're participating. Bonus points for yelling at the ref when everybody else does. All in all, playing soccer got my lazy butt into shape a lot quicker than plodding along on a treadmill had ever before, and I noticed other changes I hadn't experienced from just jogging; my smoker's cough eased up, my abs became visible and I noticed an extra kick in the bedroom. If not for the washboard abs, lower risk of heart disease and extra stamina in the sack, get out there and play soccer just to relieve some stress. Something about kicking something the size of someone's head makes it a great replacement for anger management. Balls are in, ladies and gentlemen, so let's not keep them hanging. McLeod is an Overland Park senior in journalism and Middle Eastern Studies. Contrary to the recent printed opinion portraying an archaic system, KU on Wheels not only accepts student suggestions, but thrives on student input. As Transportation Coordinator of the system, I always welcome suggestions and there are entire committees, commissions, and advisory boards designated to do just that, make suggestions to improve the system. The Transit Commission meets the first and third Wednesday of the month at 1:30 p.m. You are strongly encouraged to attend! I would additionally like to emphasize that KU on Wheels is not a static entity, driven by tradition and blind stupidity, with stern refusal to improve. There is more than meets the eye to the constant growth and improvement of this dominantly student-run organization. For years, students have lodged complaints of the look and age of the buses and the enormous clouds of black smog bursting from the exhaust. In response to those demands, we took the following actions: purchasing buses that are newer, cleaner, more environmentally friendly, better-looking, more spacious and air-conditioned. Also, they can travel up hills without the passengers having to get out and wait for the bus to slowly chug up the hill. However, this change has not come without a few bumps in the road. Our optimistic endeavor with bio-diesel is more of a headache than a savior right now, as bio-diesel acts as a solvent and "cleans-out" gas tanks, leaving deposits in fuel filters, and causes bus delays. This problem is already solving itself, and if you were late to class due to a bus, we at KU on Wheels apologize for all those times, and the problems are becoming fewer and fewer all the time. It is the cost of having a cleaner campus environment. Thanks for bearing with us! Other improvements? Routes. 15th and Crestline started out the year on a resounding bad note. Within a couple weeks, it was improved to such a standard that it has never previously reached. The buses are in and out of Meadowbrook and Orchard Corners every 20 minutes with a newly designed route. Naismith/Oliver now has more service during peak hours than it did when school first started. 31st and Iowa is now on time due to a route change, and 23rd and Louisiana has an extra bus added to the route. These are all changes demanded by students, and created by KU on Wheels. We listen to your comments and have always made changes based on your feedback. This bus system is created by students, for students. However, it has been argued that it is unfair that the buses run to McCollum more often than the Reserve. Both pay $140 for a bus pass and so logically both should have equal service, right? In real estate, the top three important things to remember are location, location, location. In choosing a residence, one must consider if living on campus will provide you with faster access to campus than living three miles away. It most certainly does. Cost-wise, people living in the Reserve are getting more (italicize 'more') service than those living in McCollum. The distance to the Reserve costs way more per dollar fare than does a short ride down Daisy Hill. Not only that, all students fund the bus system, meaning students are paying for the buses to go to places where most students are not, meaning private apartment complexes rather than campus. You are lucky that students are taxing themselves to take you, Mr. or Ms. Far Away Apartment, to school. The buses could quite easily serve as campus circulators or parking lot circulators, but instead venture to many Lawrence locations for the sole purpose of helping the off-campus students. Our routes are designed with the input of students; each spring, route hearings are held to collect student input on how best to serve students. I know it's easy to criticize. The buses have probably made everyone on campus a little irritated at one point or another, and that's understood and expected. But, to make real change or improvement, it is not okay to simply lament your misfortunes to an audience unable to do anything about it. E-mail KU on Wheels. Call KU on Wheels.

ASSOCIATED PRESS MANILA, Philippines Scientists exploring a deep ocean basin in search of species isolated for millions of years found marine life believed to be previously undiscovered, including a tentacled orange worm and an unusual black jellyfish. Projectleader Dr. Larry Madin said Tuesday that U.S. and Philippine scientists collected about 100 different specimens in a search in the Celebes Sea south of the Philippines. Madin, of the Massachusetts-based Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, said the sea is at the heart of the "coral triangle" bordered by the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia — a region recognized by scientists as having a high degree of biological diversity. The deepest part of the Celebs Sea is 16,500 feet. The team was able to explore to a depth of about 9,100 feet using a remotely operated camera. "This is probably the center where many of the species evolved and spread to other parts of the ocean, so it's going back to the source in many ways." Madin told a group of journalists, government officials, students and U.S. Ambassador Kristie Kenney and her staff. The project involved the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and National Geographic Magazine in cooperation with the Philippine government, which also provided the exploration ship. The expedition was made up of ASSOCIATED PRESS A photo of a deep sea jellyfish (Atolla sp.) collected with the ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle), from a depth of at least 1,500 meters, shown at a briefing Tuesday aboard the Philippine research vessel BRP Prisbiroff on Manila Bay in Philippines. join us Wednesday, October 24 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at OREAD BOOKS Kansas Union Level 2 Grad Finale GREAT GIVEAWAYS!!

The group returned to Manila on Tuesday after spending about two weeks in the Celebes Sea off Tawi-Tawi, the Philippines southernmost provincial archipelago nearly 700 miles south of Manila. The U.S. and Philippines scientists collected about 100 different specimen in a search in the Celebes Sea south of the Philippines. Madin said the specimens they collected included several possibly newly discovered species. One was a sea cucumber that is nearly transparent which could swim by bending its elongated body. Another was a black jellyfish found near the sea floor. The most striking creature found was a spiny orange-colored worm that had 10 tentacles like a squid, Madin said. "We don't know what it is ... it might be something new," he said. Madin said the Celebes Sea, being surrounded by islands and shallow reefs, is partially isolated now and may have been more isolated millions of years ago, leading scientists to believe that "there may be groups of organisms that have been contained and kept within" the basin since then. He said it would take "a few more weeks" of research to determine whether the species are newly discovered. He expects to release a report by early next month. "That makes it an interesting place to go and look to see what we might find," he said. INTERNATIONAL China promotes future leaders 2015年9月16日 ASSOCIATED PRESS BY CHRISTOPHER BODEEN BEIJING — China's ruling Communist Party offered the media a rare glimpse of two rising political stars Tuesday, giving them a chance to show themselves as self-effacing, businesslike and worthy for promotion to the senior leadership. A paramilitary police officer stands guard in front of a portrait of the late communist leader Mao Zedong on Tiananmen Gate on the second day of the 17th Communist Party Congress in Beijing Tuesday. (Grea Baker/ASSOCIATED PRESS) The public appearances by Li Keqiang and Xi Jinping on the sidelines of a major party congress were likely no coincidence, given the secretive party's penchant for carefully stage-managed public events. It came as senior party members held closed-door discussions on appointments to the Politiburo Standing Committee, the inner sanction of power. The brief encounters were telling, if not revealing. The party congress, held once every five years, sets broad policy goals and apportions senior leadership posts. At the top of this congress's agenda is the promotion of several officials in their 50s to replace 64 year-old President Hu Jintao and other leaders when they step down five years from now. On the other side of the cavernous building with Shanghai delegates, Xi, looking like the CEO of a major corporation, said the city had yet to live up to Beijing's expectations. "We have yet to achieve everything the center has required of us." "My main mission at present is to work, but also to learn while working," said Li, animatedly gesturing in a dark gray suit as he answered questions from reporters while meeting with other delegates from Liaoning in Beijing's Great Hall of the People. Li, the 52-year-old party head of the industrial province of Liaoning, and Xi, the 54-year-old party chief in the commercial heart of Shanghai, met separately with rank-and-file congress members, with foreign and state-run Chinese media on hand. Li and Xi are said to be leading contenders. Li, an associate, of Hu since the two worked together in the Communist Youth League 25 years ago, is said to be Hu's favorite but is facing resistance from other powerful party leaders. Xi, the son of a revolutionary veteran, is a compromise candidate, liked for his competence and a heritage of political reliability. Their political fates likely will not be known until Sunday or Monday, when the congress closes and Hu escorts the new leadership for a brief appearance before the media. Both Li and Xi were careful to make reference to Hu or his policies, while avoiding discussion of personal questions. Asked about his greatest accomplishments in office, Li gave Beijing the credit. "Liasoning's achievements, I think, have come through the party center's leadership and the hard work of all our province's people toiling together," he said. GOVERNMENT Sen. Craig appeals judge's refusal BY AMY FORLITI ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS — Sen. Larry Craig has opened a new round in his legal battle stemming from his airport restroom arrest, appealing a judge's refusal to let him to withdraw his guilty plea to disorderly conduct. The four-page filing did not detail the basis for the appeal, noting only that Craig was appealing Porter's Oct. 4 order. The documents were dated with Friday's date but were received and stamped by the Appeals Court on Monday. Craig's appeal was filed Monday at the Minnesota Court of Appeals, less than two weeks after Hennepin County District Court Judge Charles Porter refused to overturn the plea. "From the outset, Senator Craig has maintained that he is innocent of any illegal conduct at the Milwaukee airport," Craig's lead attorney, Billy Martin, said in a Craig, a Republican from Idaho, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in August after he was accused of soliciting sex in a bathroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in June statement. "Like every other citizen, Senator Craig has the constitutional right to make every effort to clear his name." A spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which owns and operates the airport, said the guilty plea reflected Craig's conduct in the public restroom. "The facts in the case speak there been an "abuse of discretion" by the trial judge before overturning a ruling — in other words, that some aspect of the ruling was decided improperly. "The facts in the case speak for themselves and we are confident the senator's guilty plea will stand." It would most likely be well into 2008 before the Court of Appeals rules on the case. The process by which both sides prepare their legal briefs alone usually stretches PATRICK HOGAN Airports Commission Spokesman for themselves, and we are confident the senator's guilty plea will stand," spokesman Patrick Hogan said in a statement.

Craig would leave office and let them forget the episode that has fueled jokes on late-night television for weeks. Craig says he is not gay, and in an NBC interview being broadcast Tuesday evening he and his wife Suzanne said their marriage was based on love. Asked by NBC's Matt Lauer whether theirs was a "marriage of convenience" to cover "a gay lifestyle," Mrs. Craig responded, "I would never do that... that's almost like selling your soul for something." "I love this woman very, very much," Craig said in the interview, taped at their Eagle, Idaho home with his wife by his side. "And the day I found her I fell in love, deeply in love. And that's lasted — we're heading toward our 25th anniversary." In the same interview, the senator discussed his relationship with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Craig was Senate liaison for Romney's campaign, a post he abandoned when the scandal came to light. "I was very proud of my association with Mitt Romney," Craig said. "And he not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2007 NEWS 9A GOVERNMENT TARA BANDHAR Lawrence Jackson/ASSOCIATED PRESS THE DALAI Lama is greeted upon his arrival in Washington, Monday. He is in Washington where he will receive the Congressional Gold Medal during a ceremony today. Bush meets with Dalai Lama BY FOSTER KLUG ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - The White House defended President Bush's plan to meet with the Dalai Lama Tuesday, brushing aside China's warning that it would damage relations between Washington and Beijing. Both Bush and members of Congress — who are presenting him with the prestigious Congressional Gold Medal on Wednesday — are stirring anger in China by honoring the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet's Buddhists. "We solemnly demand that the U.S. cancel the extremely wrong arrangements," said Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi in Beijing. "It seriously violates the norm of international relations and seriously wounded the feelings of the Chinese people and interfered with Chinas internal affairs" At the White House, presidential spokesman Tony Fratto said: "We understand the concerns of the Chinese." But he also said Bush always had attended congressional award presentation in much of the world as a figure of moral authority, Beijing reviles the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and claims he seeks to destroy China's sovereignty by pushing for independence for Tibet, where the Dalai Lama is considered a god-king. The Dalai Lama's special envoy, Lodi Gyari, said earlier that the president of the United States standing side by side with the Dalai Lama at the ceremony would send a clear message that "people do care about Tibet. We have not been forgotten." "I have no doubt this will give tremendous encouragement and hope to the Tibetan people," he told reporters ahead of the visit. It also "sends a powerful message to China that the Dalai Lama is not going to go away." "This is a meeting with a spiritual leader. This is not a meeting with a, for example, a head of state," Fratto added. ceremonies, had met with the Dalai Lama several times before and had no reason not to meet with him again. No media access was allowed to the meeting that Bush was having with the Dalai Lama Tuesday in the private residence of the White House. The Dalai Lama said he wanted "real autonomy," not independence, for Tibet. But China demonizes the While the Dalai Lama is lauded "This is a meeting with a spiritual leader. This is not a meeting with a, for example, a head of state." TONY FRATTO Presidential spokesman spiritual leader and believes the United States is honoring a separatist. The Dalai Lama's U.S. visit comes as China is holding its important Communist Party congress. Chinese diplomats worked doggedly since the congressional award was voted on last year to get the ceremony and meeting with Bush scrapped and to "correct this mistake," Wang Baodong, spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said in an interview. A U.S. State Department official said Monday that China was protesting U.S. honors for the Dalai Lama by pulling out of an international strategy session on Iran sought by the United States and planned for Wednesday. in the meeting on the day that the Buddhist leader is to receive the congressional honor, said the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe another country's motives. Wang Baodong, a Chinese Embassy spokesman here, did not directly dispute the U.S. depiction but said that the date for the Iran meeting was "not suitable" for the Chinese delegation. China objected to participating The State Department also played down the visit. Spokesman Tom Casey said this week's events are unlikely "to change the basic shape and structure of U.S.-Chinese relations." Congress has long championed the Dalai Lama; lawmakers also regularly criticize Beijing for human rights abuses and a massive military buildup and claim that China ignores abuse by unsavory foreign regimes in Sudan and Myanmar in its pursuit of energy and business deals. The Bush administration also finds fault with China but is usually more measured as it seeks to manage a booming trade relationship and a desire to enlist Chinese cooperation on nuclear standoffs with North Korea and Iran. Analysts said Bush's decision to attend the public congressional ceremony reflected his concern over the situation in Tibet. Judith Shapiro, a China author and professor at American University, said the visit was "not going to profoundly affect ties in either direction. China needs the U.S., the U.S. needs China, and issues like Tibet are a bit of a sideshow to the basic relationship." The Dalai Lama is immensely popular in Tibet, which China has ruled with a heavy hand since its communist-led forces invaded in 1951. He has been based in India since fleeing his Himalayan homeland in 1959 amid a failed uprising against Chinese rule. INTERNATIONAL Putin pushes pipeline veto ASSOCIATED PRESS BYVLADIMIR ISACHENKOV TEHRAN, Iran — Vladimir Putin issued a veiled warning Tuesday against any attack on Iran as he began the first visit by a Kremlin leader to Tehran in six decades, a mission reflecting Russian-Iranian efforts to curb U.S. influence. He also suggested Moscow and Tehran should have a veto on Western plans for new pipelines to carry oil and natural gas from the Gaspian Sea, using routes that would bypass Russian soil and break the Kremlin's monopoly on energy deliveries from the region. Putin came to Tehran for a summit of the five nations bordering the Caspian, but his visit was aimed more at strengthening efforts to blunt U.S. economic and military ties in the area. Yet he also refused to set a date for completing Iran's first nuclear reactor, trying to avoid an outright show of support for Iran's defiance over its nuclear program. Putin strongly warned outside powers against use of force in the region, a clear reference to the United States, which many in Iran fear will attack over the West's suspicions that the Iranians are secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made similar comments. "We are saying that no (Caspian) nations should offer their territory to outside powers for aggression or any military action against any of the Caspian states," Putin said. The five national leaders at the summit later signed a declaration that included a similar statement — an apparent reflection of Iranian fears that the United States could use Azerbaijan's territory as a staging ground for military strikes in Iran. Putin has warned against such attacks previously, but reiterating them in Tehran gave them greater resonance — particularly at a summit for a region where Moscow deeply resents U.S. and European attempts at greater influence. The Russian leader also used the occasion to make a nod to Iran's national pride — describing it as a "world power" and referring to the might of the ancient Persian empire.

Calva, an aspiring horror novelist, was arrested after police found the carved-up torso of his 30-year-old girlfriend Alejandra Galeana, in his closet, a leg in his refrigerator and bones in a cereal box, according to a Mexico City prosecutor's spokesman. ASSOCIATED PRESS Man suspected of eating girlfriend BY MARK STEVENSON ASSOCIATED PRESS MEXICO CITY — Forensics experts said Monday that chunks of flesh found in the apartment of an aspiring horror novelist were human, and that DNA tests were planned to confirm whether it came from the body of his girlfriend. Dr. Rodolfo Rojo, chief medical examiner for Mexico City's prosecutor's office, said flesh found on the plate and frying pan in suspect Jose Luis Calva's apartment corresponded to parts missing from the corpse of his 32-year-old girlfriend, Alejandra Galeana. Police found Galeana's body in a closet in the suspect's apartment last week after her family lead police to the building. Prosecutors said she had been strangled and partially disemm- bered. When asked if Calva had eaten the woman, prosecutor Gustavo Romulo Salas said: "That is the assumption that exists." Police said that a search uncovered an unfinished novel by Calva titled "Cannibalistic Namews." One witness, whose name was withheld by officials, said Calva was fascinated by witchcraft and explicit and sadistic literature. A surviving girlfriend, whose name was also withheld, told police that Calva was initially charming, winning her trust with poetry. But he soon turned jealous, controlling and obsessive, and once attempted suicide, the woman said. Prosecutors said Calva may have killed two other women whose dismembered bodies were found in Mexico City in 2004 and 2007. Like Galeana, both were strangled. Calva, arrested last week, is being treated at a local hospital for head injuries he suffered while trying to escape police by swinging down balconies from his upper-floor apartment. He doesn't have an attorney yet and hasn't made a court appearance or given a public statement. (THIS IS WHAT FRIDAYS ARE MADE FOR.)

The groups discussed how sexual reference words like "slut" only contributed to a society that looked down on women. The group decided to work on the "Expectations put everyone in a box," Sprague said. "Gender issues are everywhere but they work differently for different kinds of women and men." Sprague encouraged the group to get involved in substantial ways. She said women didn't need to be told to ignore negative messages about themselves, but that the messages needed to be stopped. Sprague told the group a Chinese tale to get her point across. In the tale, people were trying to pull babies out of a river. When a man asked them what they were doing, they responded a man was throwing babies in the river, and they were trying to save the babies. The man pointed out that they should just stop the man, not keep pulling them from the river. "It's easy to say let's pick something small," Sprague said. "But have a big idea."

BY MATTHEW DALY ASSOCIATED PRESS Craig said it was a "tough call" when he decided not to tell his wife or children about the arrest.

Suzanne Craig said that when her husband told her the story was about to break, "I felt like the floor was falling out from under me. And I felt almost like I was going down a drain for a few moments." Craig, a three-term Republican, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in August after he was accused of soliciting sex in a bathroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in June.

Then again, no one would have thought Michael Jackson's face would change so much in the past 20 years. At this moment, they're both equally ugly. The biggest surprise of all is South Florida. The Bulls are currently ranked No. 2 in the AP poll and the BCS standings. Kansas beat South Florida last year 13-7. Who knew the state could support four powerhouse programs? Maybe it will be South Florida playing in the championship game this year instead of Florida, Florida State or Miami. The Gators, defending national champions, already have two losses and still have remaining games at Kentucky, at Georgia and at South Carolina. Each is ranked in the Top 25. Unless they get an incredible amount of luck on their side, they won't be playing on Jan. 7, 2008 to defend their national title. In fact, according to the BCS poll, Kansas has a better chance to win it all Kansas has surprised many people, many even on its own campus. The jayhawks are one of six teams still undefeated. No one thought they would be this good so far, but they have proved it by beating a ranked Kansas State team on the road, and are finally getting the attention they deserve. It's just too bad they are not receiving the attention like No. 1 Ohio State, which is in similar shoes to Kansas. The Buckeyes didn't exactly have a non-conference opponent that tested them either. They played cupcake teams just as the Jayhawks did and their only semi-respected win was at Purdue, which was shell-backed by Michigan on Saturday. Nevertheless, why are they ranked 12 spots above the University of Kansas in the first BCS bowl standings, and 14 spots above them in the AP and USA Today/Coaches poll? Tradition, I guess, but some things will remain questions until the end of the season. Boston College is another team that is still undefeated so far this year. Its most considerate win was at then-No. 15 Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets fell off the face of the earth with that loss, so does Boston College's win even matter now? But everyone can say similar things about Kansas. The Jayhawks played the cupcake schools and that's why they are undefeated so far. But I don't care what school you are, if you can beat a team as handily as the Jayhawks have in each of their six games so far, then you deserve to be recognized and put on top of the map. And Kansas State bounced back after its loss to an undefeated team, unlike Purdue and Georgia Tech. Nevertheless, Ohio State and Boston College haven't put up near the same numbers as Kansas, which ranks second in the entire country in both points scored and points allowed. Maybe a few more blow out wins for the Jayhawks will help their case in the end, especially with the schedule's home-stretch upcoming. The purpose of the BCS championship game was to make it clear who the top two teams in the country were so the teams could play in the respected bowl game for the national title. With so many crazy things that have happened this year, it will be hard for the BCS to live up to its hype. Would anyone buy South Florida and Kansas as the best choices to play for it all? In the weeks to come, it is going to be fun to watch how the season finishes. More crazy and bizarre outcomes are going to happen. It would just be weird if it didn't. In the end, two teams will play Jan. 7, 2008 in the Allstate BCS championship bowl game. Who are they going to be? Who knows? Ask next week, and it will have changed. Kansan sports columnist Erica Johnson can be reached at ejohnson@kansan. com. — Edited by Meghan Murphy COMMENTARY FOOTBALL REPORT CARD Subject PASS OFFENSE KEY STAT: 297 YARDS PER GAME: 16TH IN NCAA When sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing emerged from a preseason position battle with the starting job, fans expected him to provide some excitement. He's supplied much more than that. The Austin, Texas, native has thrown 16 touchdowns and just four interceptions to go along with 57 percent accuracy and the uncanny ability to evade oncoming pass-rushers. The team's new offense suits Reesing perfectly, allowing him to roll out and burn defenses from outside the pocket. Reesing's statistics would look even better if not for an inconsistent group of wide receivers. The Kansas receivers are big and fast, but have been suffering from a bad case of the drops for the past few weeks. RUN OFFENSE KEY STAT:218.8 YARDS PER GAME: 13TH IN NCAA B+ The departure of Jon Cornish to the CFL after the 2006 season cost the Kansas offense its most recognizable and productive player. The team has fared better than anyone could have expected without Cornish. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson and sophomore running back Jake Sharp have emerged as one of the nation's top one-two punches, rushing for a combined 959 yards and 12 touchdowns. Much of that productivity is owed to a retooled and sturdy offensive line that features experienced tackles and tough interior players. Junior left tackle Anthony Collins could be the team's best NFL prospect and junior left guard Adrian Mayes has made positive contributions after arriving as a walk-on three seasons ago. PASS DEFENSE KEY STAT:160 YARDS ALLOWED PER GAME:7TH IN NCAA It's hard to describe just how miserable Kansas' pass defense was last season. The unit finished dead last in the NCAA in yards allowed per game and surrendered massive yardage totals to tame teams such as Louisiana-Monroe and Baylor. Oklahoma State was the worst showing, when Kansas allowed more than 300 yards to one receiver. This season, Kansas has turned the corner in a big way. Junior strong safety Patrick Resby and freshman cornerback Chris Harris are newcomers who have brought adequate size and tackling ability to a secondary that failed to match up physically with opponents last season. Sophomore free safety Darrell Stuckey has been healthy and guarding against the deep ball effectively, and junior cornerback Aqib Talib is one of the only true lockdown corners in the nation. Junior cornerback Kendrick Harper, who is talented enough to start on most Big 12 teams, rounds out the team's third-down packages. RUN DEFENSE KEY STAT: 80 YARDS ALLOWED PER GAME: 8TH IN NCAA A- The numbers stand as a convincing testament to the strength of Kansas' run defense. The defense is on pace to break the school record for fewest rushing yards allowed per game. Only one opposing running back has gained more than 100 yards in a game and opponents are averaging fewer than three yards per carry against the Jayhawks. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton could be the reason. McClinton, who is second on the team with eight tackles-for-loss, is lightning-quick off of the line of scrimmage and nearly impossible to contain in the backfield. The Jayhawks' most impressive run-stopper could also be junior middle linebacker Joe Mortensen. Mortensen leads the team in tackles (55) and tackles-for-loss (11.5). From snap to whistle, Mortensen holds the responsibility of tracking down the opposing ball-carrier — he usually comes through. Grade B+ A- A A B A+ SPECIAL TEAMS KEY STAT: MADE 9 OF 10 FIELD GOALS AND ALL 37 EXTRA POINTS A Kansas' kicking game has been phenomenal in 2007, but the punt units have stood out as the team's weakest spots. Senior kicker Scott Webb has not had much trouble sending kickoffs deep into the end zone and the kick coverage squad has yielded just one touchdown. Senior punter Kyle Tucker has struggled with distance and accuracy so much that sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier replaced him and punted three times last weekend. Kansas coach nat sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier replaced him and punted three times last weekend. Kansas Mark Mangino said Tucker has not been benched, but needs to turn his season around quickly. Freshman wide receiver Raimond Pendleton started 2007 as the punt returner but lost his job after he looked disoriented in several consecutive games. Sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb fared better as the new punt returner against Baylor. Head coach Mark Mangino stresses mental toughness and his team always plays hard, but Kansas' assistant coaches could deserve just as much of the credit as Mangino does for the team's 6-0 start. Newly-hired offensive coordinator Ed Warinner instituted a new system this offseason, and thus far it has run like clockwork. Reeing fits the system, the running backs have plenty of holes to run through and the offensive line rarely commits penalties. Defensive coordinator Bill Young made the right decision in moving Mortensen to inside linebacker and junior Mike Rivera to the outside. With the linebackers in their correct positions, the Kansas defense has been less prone to yielding big gains in the pass game. — Asher Fusco A B c COACHING KEY STAT: 6-0 RECORD A $ ^{+} $ Graphic by Brenna Hawley FOOTBALL Move to outside benefits Rivera 40 21 Linebacker stands out on defense Junior linebacker Mike Rivera makes a tackle during the Kansas State game. Rivera made the move to outside linebacker from middle linebacker earlier this season. BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Aqib Talib's rising status as a top NFL prospect, Joe Mortensen's nightmare-inducing hits and James McClinton's unrelenting pass rush have forced fans around the nation to take note of the Lost in the shuffle was the consistently solid play of junior outside linebacker Mike Rivera. Kansas coach Mark Mangino, however, knows how invaluable Rivera is to the KU defense. After a 58-10 victory against Baylor, Mangino praised the linebacker before mentioning any other defensive player. Rivera is second on the team with 37 tackles and leads the team with four pass break-ups. So why is the attention focused elsewhere when Rivera is near the top in almost every statistical category? Anna Faltermeyer/KANSAN the nation's fourth ranked defense. Kansas defense. "Our defense was led by Mike Rivera. Mike, once again, had a big day for us." The answer can be discovered by looking Rivera tallied a team-high eight tackles and one fumble recovery. But it wasn't the first time this season that he stood out on "Our defense was led by Mike Rivera," Mangino said. "Mike, once again, had a big day for us." MARK MANGINO Coach back on the preseason. Rivera was moved to outside linebacker from middle linebacker, a position where he excelled and became the Jayhawks leading tackler in 2006. The coaching staff thought Mortensen needed to play middle linebacker this year. Instead of just bumping Rivera down the depth chart, Mangino practiced his philosophy of getting the best players on the field by moving Rivera to the outside. It was new to the Shawnee Mission native but day-by-day and game-by-game, Rivera became more comfortable. "I just feel like every week, you keep learning little new wrinkles in our defense," Rivera said. "And the more experience you get in every game – that helps." While Mortensen has thrived at punishing running backs and playing physical in the middle of the field, Rivera has shined ruining offensive plays off the edges. His teammates are taking notice. Mortensen said some of the success he has found this season could be attributed back to Rivera. The only player on the Kansas defense with more tackles than Rivera is Mortensen. Together, the duo is among the best in the Big 12 Conference - and certainly land as many pulverizing hits as a champion boxer. "He's awesome. He's out there playing downfield, playing fast," Mortensen said. "It's fun knowing that I've got an outside backer like Mike out there that can make plays and push some plays back to me." Against Florida International last month, Rivera unleashed a hit so hard against a running back near the sideline that the Memorial Stadium crowd let out a collective gasp. The hit looked like it was taken straight out of Mortensen's book. Mortensen said there was only one acceptable way to settle the debate of who is the harder tackler. "One day, we're going to match up and sprint, just from fifty yards and go head to head." Mortensen said. "We'll see. I'm not going to give him that glory yet." --- Rivera said he wasn't as eager to find out whose hits were more devastating. And it's safe to say that Mangino wouldn't endorse Mortensen's suggestion either. He can't afford to lose Mortensen or Kansas' new outside linebacker, Mike Rivera. 4. — Edited by Ashlee Kieler > --- . 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2007 calendar WEDNESDAY Volleyball vs. Baylor, 7 p.m., Lawrence Women's Golf, Price's Give 'Em Intercollegiate, all day, Las Cruces, N.M.

The rest of the NFL had some exciting action as well. Here are the top performers from the past weekend. DONALD MEYER BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM CREAM OF THE CROP Brady was able to throw against the Cowboys' defense all day. The "Duel in Dallas" turned into a blow out quickly. The Patriots couldn't get the running game going at all, but it was unnecessary as Brady and the New England receivers had the Dallas secondary beat all day. Brady completed 31 of 46 passes for 388 passing yards and five touchdowns. If Brady keeps up this pace he will easily break the record for most touchdown passes in a season. RB Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Peterson is running away with rookie of the year, literally. He has been the anchor of the Minnesota offense so far this year and has stepped up big against Chicago on Sunday. Peterson ran for 224 yards on 20 carries and had three rushing touchdowns on Sunday. He will be a big factor in Minnesota's success the rest of this season. ASSOCIATED PRESS WR Wes Welker, New England — When the Patriots signed so many wide receivers in the offseason, most experts just gave them the Super Bowl championship. Randy Moss has been the top receiver in the Patriot's boosted offense, but when they played the Cowboys this Sunday, Welker stepped up in a big way. He had 11 receptions for 124 yards and two touchdowns. One thing is for sure after Sunday's game; the New England receiving corps is stacked. 28 34 95 Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson couldn't be brought down on Sunday. Peterson ran for 224 yards on 20 carries and had three rushing touchdowns against Green Bay. TE Chris Cooley, Washington — The Redskins may have lost to the Packers on Sunday, but it was a close game and the Redskins should be pleased with the result. They still look like one of the better teams in the NFC, and Chris Cooley had a very good game on Sunday. Cooley had nine receptions for 105 yards and one touchdown. The Redskins will definitely be a team to be reckoned with the rest of the season. Jacksonville D Green, Houston's starting running back, to 44 yards rushing and did not allow a touchdown pass by Matt Schaub. The Jaguars will provide some tough competition for the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South division. K Matt Stover, Baltimore —The Jaguars played against a tough Texans team this past Sunday. The Texans have put together a bona-fide offense for the first time in the team's history. On Sunday, though, the Jaguars were able to stop the Texan's offense. The Jaguars forced three turnovers, held Ahman K Matt Stover, Baltimore Stover has been around the NFL for a long time. He has been with the Ravens for a while now, so he is used to impudent offenses. The Baltimore offense struggled on Sunday against a porous Rams defense, but Stover was able to carry the load. He hit five of five field goals, including a 43-yard attempt. The Ravens can always count on Stover to come through in the clutch when they need him. ROTTEN APPLES OB Gus Ferotte. St. Louis The Madden jinx may have caught up to Titans' quarterback Vince Young, who suffered an injury in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, but Frerotte had a worse performance on Sunday. Frerotte threw for 208 yards but also had five interceptions and was sacked four times. The Rams need Frerotte to perform well while Marc Bulger is sidelined with an injury. RB Shaun Alexander, Seattle — The Seattle passing game was working on Sunday night, but Alexander was not able to gain any momentum on the ground. Alexander carried the ball 14 times for 35 yards. The Seahawks need Alexander to step up and take some of the pressure of Matt Hasselbeck and the passing game. WR, Marques Colston, New Orleans The Saints got their second victory of the season on Sunday, but Colston was not a factor in the game. Colston had one catch for two yards. Yes, the catch was for a touchdown, but he was relatively quiet throughout the game. The departure of Joe Horn was supposed to mean a bigger role for Colston in the Saints offense, but they forget about him on Sunday. player stats TOP PERFORMERS Tom Brady 31/46 388 passing yards 5 Touchdowns TOP PERFORMERS Rex Grossman was their quarterback and they still made it to the Super Bowl. This year they have had some injury problems, but they just haven't looked like the same Bears defense that we know. They gave up 34 points to a Minnesota offense that is basically one-dimensional. Why not put 11 defenders on the line? What's Tarvaris Jackson going to do to you? The Chicago defense will need to pull itself together if the team wants to compete with the Packers in the NFC North. Adrian Peterson Wes Welker 11 catches 124 receiving yards 2 Touchdowns Abram Peterson 20 carriages 24 rushing yards 3 touchdowns POOR PERFORMERS Shaun Alexander 14 caries 35 rushing yards 208 passing yards 5 interceptions sacked four times TE Alge Crumpler, Atlanta Marques Colston 1 catch 2 receiving yards 1 Touchdown TE Age Crumpler, Atlanta Crumpler is arguably the best receiver on the Falcons' team. On Monday night though, he had one catch for nine yards. Crumpler is one of the best tight ends in the NFL and the Falcons should use him more in their passing offense. K Sebastian Janikowski, Oakland — Janikowski really can't be blamed for his performance on Sunday. The Raiders couldn't get anything going on offense and Janikowski suffered for it. Janikowski didn't even attempt a field goal. He made his only two extra point attempts, but the Raiders need to generate some offense so that Janikowski can put some points on the scoreboard. Chicago D — The Bears have always been known for their defense. Last year Chicago D Edited by Meghan Murphy NHL Avalanche rally to beat the Flames 5-4 ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — Ryan Smyth scored twice and then had the decisive goal in the shootout as the Colorado Avalanche rallied from a four-goal deficit to beat the Calgary Flames 5-4 on Tuesday night. Jarome Iginla, who had two goals and an assist for the Flames, had Calgary's only goal in the shootout. The Flames took a 4-0 lead on Iginala's second who was pulled in favor of Jose Theodore. Avalanche defenseman Kurt Sauer tied the game with 3:38 left in the second period with a shot from the point that was tipped. That's when the Avalanche started their comeback, and it came with help from the Flames. All four Colorado goals banked off Calgary players, starting when Smyth's shot from the left circle went off the stick of defenseman Robyn Regehr 13 seconds after Iginla had made it 4-0. goal of the game 2:50 into the second period.

This past week Yuliana Swistun, Junior, Ufa, Russia, took first place in the Flight E singles bracket at the Hoosier Classic in Indiana. The team wants to build off these strong performances at this week's tournament. According to Coach Amy Hall-Holt, these impressive finishes are indicative of the hard work that her team has put in. "It's a big confidence booster for our players," Hall-Holt said. "The girls are really excited to get back playing again." Qualifying will begin Wednesday and the main draw will open Thursday. The team will send five players to compete. Swistun, Horvath and Maria Martinez, freshman, Abingdon, Md., will compete in the qualifying singles draw on Wednesday. They will need to win two matches in order to advance to the main draw on Thursday. Avdeeva and Kunigunda Dorn, a Sopron, Hungary sophomore have already qualified for the draw.

Edited by Rachael Gray WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Big 12 replacement coaches welcome changes, new ideas KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The dean of Big 12 women's basketball coaches senses big changes coming into his profession. "There's a lot of money involved; there's a lot of pressure involved," Iowa State's Bill Fennelly said Tuesday during Big 12 media day. This year's most headline-grabbing coaching change, in the nation as well as the Big 12, occurred when Jody Conradt, a pioneer in the sport who won 900 games, retired at Texas. Taking her place is Gaol Goestenkens, who went to four Final Fours and was 396-99 in 15 years at Duke, one of the nation's most prestigious basketball powers. At Texas Tech, replacing Marsha Sharp after 24 seasons, is Kristy Curry. Her Purdue team in 2001 came within one victory of the NCAA title. Now at Colorado is Kathy McDonnell-Miller, the all-time winningest coach at Tulsa who stepped in after Ceal Barry's 22-year run. "Our conference has become a destination league," said Bonnie Henrickson, a big success at Virginia Tech before she arrived at Kansas in 2005 to replace Marion Washington, another women's pioneer. "Ive always been one to kind of push the envelope a little bit, push myself. And I never want to be comfortable," she said. Change is what Goestenkors vearned for. Leaving a basketball-happy school such as Duke for a place that has always prided football above all else was, she said, "one of the most difficult decisions of my life."

Kansas claimed victories against Colorado and Texas Tech as well, with the Jayhawk's third Big 12 win coming at Missouri. "You just have to try to get as many victories in this conference as possible," Bechard said. "To keep any momentum, to keep any hopes at postseason alive, and the fact that it's at home adds significance because our goal all along was to take care of business at home as well as we could." The Jayhawks have been the worst offense in the Big 12 statistically. They are last in the Big 12 in kills per game (13.63), assists per game (12.46), and hitting percentage .(178). But Kansas has managed to record the fourth OFFENSIVE WOES CONTINUE most aces per game in the Big 12. Bechard said a number of things are to blame for the inefficiency on offense. Bechard said that the first pass to the setter is critical, and the setter has to deliver a good ball to the hitter. For students, by students THE UNIVERSITY OF HARRY LANSAN HITTING 100 During a season full of injuries and line-up shuffles, Sophomore transfer Flavia Lino has been in and out of the line-up. But Bechard said he liked the way Lino hit from the outside in the last few games. Lino, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, recorded her 100th career kill at Kansas against Texas on Saturday. Kansas and Baylor split their two game series last season with each team taking a 3-0 victory on its home court. Edited by Ashlee Kieler Kansas is 9-9 against Baylor during Coach Bechard's 10-year tenure. Freshman Jenna Kaiser has been Kansas' leader in kills all season, and the Wichita native is coming off the best three-game stretch of her young career. Kaiser averaged 4.1 kills per game during games against Texas A&M, Colorado, and Texas, improving her season total to 2.70 kills per game. "And it might be that it's a good set, but then we have a bad match-up against their blockers." Bechard said. "There are a lot of components involved."

MLB World Series ring in reach for Cleveland At 40 years young, he's still chasing an elusive World Series ring. Once again, it's within reach. For Lofton, and the Cleveland Indians. pionship series. Lofton's two-run homer in the second inning set the tone for Jake Westbrook, who kept Boston grounded for almost seven innings Monday night as the Indians moved one game up on the Red Sox with a 4-2 win in Game 3 of the AL cham- Underdogs when baseball's consummate month opened, the Indians, who knocked the New York Yankees out in the first round, lead the best-of-seven series 2-1. And with two more wins at frenzied Jacobs Field, they can earn their first World Series trip since 1997. "This club" third baseman Casey Blake said, "believes in itself." Playing in the his 91st postseason game, the well-traveled Lofton, with his ninth team in the past six years, ignited a crowd of 44,402 towels-winging fans with a shot over the right-field wall against Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka. After rounding the bases and slapping hands with teammates, coaches, trainers and seemingly anyone near Cleveland's dugout, Lofton emerged for a curtain call and tipped his helmet as chants of "Ken-ny, Ken-ny," filled the air. It's been that way since Lofton returned to Cleveland in a trade from Texas in July. This is third stint with the Indians, one of the 11 teams he's called his own during an odyssey that has crisscrossed baseball's map. "He's a big-game player," Cleveland manager Eric Wedge said. "He likes the stage. He understands just what it takes to have the right heartbeat." And Lofton's is pounding like a kid's. "No," he said. "I feel 25." As Indians fans danced their way toward the exits following the game, Lofton was asked if he felt 40. He's playing like a man half his age, and the unknown Indians, despite a lack of postseason experience, are acting as if they've been doing this for years. "These guys are going out and playing team ball," Lofton said. "It's unbelievable." Westbrook, often overlooked in Cleveland's top-heavy starting rotation, got the Red Sox to hit into three double plays, the biggest to end the second after Boston loaded the bases with none out.

Freshman cornerback Chris Harris and junior linebacker Mike Rivera split the defensive honors. Against Baylor, Harris recorded six tackles and made his first career interception and Rivera tailed eight tackles. The offensive player of the week was sophomore running back Jake Sharp. Sharp rushed for 110 yards on 18 carries and scored one touchdown. Junior wide receiver Marcus Herford won special teams player of the week M. MUNYAKO Herford for his 88-yard kickoff return, his second kick return touchdown this season. The scout offensive and defensive players of the week were sophomore offensive lineman Jose Rodriguez and sophomore defensive lineman Luke Templin, respectively. Much is made of the home field advantage offered by Colorado's high altitude and thin air, but Mangino wasn't buying it. Mangino said the altitude should not be a problem for Kansas because the players are conditioned well enough to handle playing a mile above sea-level. HOMEFIELD ADVANTAGE? 'THE FRESHMAN WALL' Freshman running back Carmon Boyd-Anderson has been absent from the playing field for Kansas' last two games because of what Mangina called "the fresh wall man." After rushing 24 times for 91 yards in the team's first four games, sophomore running back Angus Quigley and freshman running back Donte Bean have Quialey MUSICIAN taken over for Boyd-Anderson as the third and fourth backfield options. Quigley has 47 yards on eight carries and Bean has 20 yards on 7 carries so far this season. - Asher Fusco 2 COLORADO 33 Although Kansas State defeated Colorado 47-20, the Wildcats were far from perfect stopping the run. Kansas plays Oklahoma State this Saturday. Wildcats work out performance flaws ASSOCIATED PRESS BIG 12 BY NICK DUNN ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State coach Ron Prince is the first to admit that his team is far from perfect. Sure, the Wildcats are coming off a 47-20 beatdown of Colorado on national TV. They're in the heat of the Big 12 North race, and they even jumped back in the Top 25 a week after falling out of the rankings. But there are still quite a few weaknesses bothering Prince and his players, most notably the team's inability to stop the run in the last two games. After allowing an average of 79 league." One concern has been the defense's struggles with tackling. rushing yards during a 3-1 start, the No. 25 Wildcats (4-2 overall, 2-1 Big 12) have given up a combined 358 yards on the ground in games against Kansas and Colorado. The Buffaloes sliced their way to 188 yards The problem hasn't been getting to the ball carriers, defensive end Ian Campbell said. It has been finishing the job once the Wildcats get a hand on them. Kansas running backs Jake Sharp and Brandon McAnderson, for example, repeatedly shed arm tackles on the way to 158 combined yards in the Jayhawks 30-24 win over Kansas State on Oct. 6. "When that first guy makes contact and he doesn't bring him down, they're getting those yards after contact," Campbell said. "That's three or four more yards after the two or three "There was a way that we were going to have to win the game, and it was going to be giving up some yards." RON PRINCE K-State coach Saturday, most of those coming from Hugh Charles' career-high 171-yard effort. they already may have gotten. Do that all game and that's first downs." Last week, Charles found a lot of open space in the middle of the field, breaking five runs of 17 yards or more. "We're not happy," safety Marcus Watts said. "That's something we can't do if we want to win in this Prince said the open holes against Colorado were partly a product of the game plan. The Wildcats were committed to shutting down the big play on the outside. In turn, they were forced to sacrifice some of their presence in the middle, resulting in the long rushes for Charles. Oklahoma State's high-powered offense ranks No. 6 in the nation with 246.3 rushing yards per game. "There was a way that we were going to have to win the game, and it was going to be giving up some yards," Prince said. "We're not really particularly in the mind-set to ever play a bend-but-dont-break style, but the situation that we found ourselves in kind of forced us to do that." Whatever the reason behind the problem, the Wildcats know they need to get it fixed before heading to Stillwater, Okla. Osborne will lead Nebraska athletics BY ERIC OLSON ASSOCIATED PRESS LINCOLN, Neb. — Tom Osborne will come back to Nebraska to temporarily run the Cornhuskers' athletic department and possibly determine the fate of Bill Callahan. University chancellor Harvey Perlman announced the return of the Huskers' former coach Tuesday in a news release. A news conference was scheduled for later in the day. The 70-year-old Osborne's return to the athletic department comes a day after athletic director Steve Pederson was fired. Osborne met with Perlman on Tuesday morning to discuss the job, and Osborne agreed to serve until the chancellor hires a permanent athletic director. BIG 12 It was 10 years ago that Osborne finished a celebrated coaching career that culminated with three national championships in four seasons. "Ive spent the majority of my life working with the athletic department at the university, and I want to do what I can at this point to continue in the pursuit of excellence that has been previously established." Osborne said in the release. Perlman said Monday the athletic director would be charged with deciding whether Callahan would continue to lead a football program that has fallen on hard times. Callahan said earlier Tuesday that he has no plan to resign. If Callahan is fired, the university would be forced to buy out his contract for more than $3 million. "I know in my heart of hearts I'm doing an excellent job, a good job," Callahan said. "It's everything that has to do with organization, preparation, game-planning, direction of the staff, direction of the whole, entire program. I have no hesitation about that," he said. "There are so many things we've done in a positive nature. I'm confident we've done some great things here." Callahan said his confidence in his own abilities haven't been shaken. --ration, game-planning, direction of the staff, direction of the whole, entire program. I have no hesitation about that," he said. "There are so many things we've done in a positive nature. I'm confident we've done some great things here." Since leaving coaching, Osborne has served three terms in Congress, made an unsuccessful gubernatorial run, taught in the university's business school and worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments. Though his name is on Nebraska's athletic department headquarters, he has been mostly dissociated from the Cornhuskers' program since Callahan became coach in January 2004. Osborne recommended Pederson for the athletic director's job in 2003, but their relationship soured after Pederson fired Frank Solich. Solich had been Osborne's longtime assistant man and hand-picked successor, and Pederson did not consult with Osborne before making the move. Now, with Pederson gone, Osborne is expected to play a major role in deciding the fate of Callahan, whose team is 4-3 this season after a string of disappointing performances. Osborne joined the Huskers' coaching staff in 1962 under Bob Devaney, who established a culture that made football a point of pride in this state of 1.7 million. Osborne became head coach in 1973. He gave Nebraska a unique identity with its powerful running attack and reliance on hardworking, homegrown players. Callahan has not completely severed ties with Nebraska's past, but he made it clear he wanted to move the program in a different direction. The public's patience with Callahan has waned as he has failed to go through a season with fewer than four losses. HOBO INTERNATIONAL The Etc. Shop 843-0611 928 Massachusetts Your new bag is here.

The Chiefs traded backup running back Michael Bennett to Tampa Bay for draft picks on Tuesday, creating a hole behind starter Larry Johnson and speculation that the Chiefs might activate Holmes in time for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Holmes "will put the pads on. He will put the helmet on. Whether he participates in the (Oakland) game or not, we'll see how practice goes," Edwards said. Holmes sustained neck and spinal injuries in a game at San Diego on Oct. 30, 2005, when he was hit by Shawne Merriman. He was placed on the physically unable to The three-time Pro Bowler, who turned 34 this month, appears to have lost about 10 pounds since July and looks fit. perform list and stayed there until he showed up at training camp in River Falls, Wis., claiming that he'd seen himself playing football in a dream. Holmes is eligible to come off the inactive list this week, and the Chiefs have 21 days beginning Wednesday to either activate Holmes, place him on the injured reserve list or waive him. Chiefs president Carl Peterson said he expected Holmes to be activated sooner rather than later. "My sense right now is that he will be ready to go," Peterson said. "I've said a thousand times, those people who question Priest Holmes are very foolish. Throughout his entire career, he's always come back. When he called me last spring shortly before training camp and told me he would like to do this one more time, I felt that I owed him that opportunity" When Holmes was healthy he was one of the most productive running backs in the NFL. He owns 18 Chiefs single-game and career records, including career marks for rushing yards (5,933), total touchdowns (83) and rushing touchdowns (76). Edwards said it wouldn't be long before he knew whether Holmes was ready. it he can go out there and practice pretty well, and feels OK after practice, that's good for us and for him. We'll know this week,"Edwards said. "It's been three months. Either he's ready to go or he's not. Another week won't make much of a difference. He's prepared. He's been mentally into it. He's working his tail off. "For a guy his age to go through what he's gone through over the last three months, you have to take your hat off to the guy." SOUTH ASSOCIATED PRESS Missouri faces biggest challenge Missouri's defense will have its hands full against Texas Tech Saturday. Tech comes in with the best passing offense in the country. 》 COLLEGE FOOTBALL BY TROY SCHULTE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, Mo. — Two starts into his career, Missouri cornerback Carl Gettis knows his biggest challenge so far comes this week as the Tigers host high-scoring Texas Tech. The true freshman began the season as a backup at left corner, but started in Missouri's 41-6 victory over Nebraska and the Tigers' 41-31 loss at Oklahoma last week. No. 15 Missouri (5-1, 1-1 Big 12) hosts the 22nd-ranked Red Raiders (6-1, 2-1) Saturday. The game is expected to see plenty of points: Texas Tech leads the nation with 582 yards per game, led by Graham Harrell, averaging 350 yards passing; Missouri is fifth with 533.5. "It ittens with (the corners) because they are going to come out and pass the ball a lot," Getttis said. "We're going to have a lot on our backs this week to stop those Coach Gary Pinkel agrees. "It's kind of scary to watch him (Harrell) on film because they can march up and down the field against the best of them," Pinkel said. Pinkel believes the intensity of the Nebraska and Oklahoma games will help Gettis, who is already getting strong reviews from coaches and teammates. Pinkel expects Texas Tech to gain plenty of yards. The key, he said, is limiting big plays and forcing turnovers. In last season's win, Missouri returned two interceptions for touchdowns and didn't allow a pass play longer than 30 yards.

ASSOCIATED PRESS BY EDDIE PELLS ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — It's October in Colorado. The Broncos are playing. Snow showers are in the forecast. The leaves are turning red and yellow and brown. The dominant color in the Mile High City these days, though, is purple. It's "Rocktober" in Colorado. The Rockies, crazy as it sounds, are in the World Series. No Curse of the Bambino. No Wrigley Field goat. Just pure Rockies magic. Sad-sack losers in almost all their 15 seasons of existence, the Rockies have won 21 of 22 games and seven in a row in the playoffs. Suddenly, it's cool to wear a black and purple Rockies cap around town. First baseman Todd Helton is a bigger star than the Broncos quarterback, Jay Cutler. "I didn't see this happening." Colorado fan Jeff Zebrowksi said before the Rockies defeated Arizona on Monday night to win the National League pennant and make it to baseball's biggest stage. "Maybe two or three years from now, but not now. We're too young as a team." As fantastic and unlikely as it may seem to that handful of long-suffering season-ticket holders who watched their team veer from early success to unbecoming circus act to essentially irrelevant, it carries an even more poignant meaning in a city that cruelly flirted with baseball for decades, only to have its heart broken again and again. MLB Today, the thought of the one-time purveyors of the unwatchable, four-hour, 12-11 slugfest in the World Series sounds every bit as outlandish and tantalizing as the idea 30 years ago that Major League Baseball would someday land in Denver. But Denver finally did get its team. And now the city stands one step from the next baseball milestone in what has been an emotional, memory-filled ride for any native who also happens to be a sports fan. Yes, Denver has always been a football town — a city that attached itself to the Broncos and married much of its self-esteem and hope to heroes wearing orange and blue. There probably will never be a Light Up Your Night Join us for LIVE music Wednesday Nights Since 1936 1031 Massachusetts feeling like the one this city enjoyed in 1977, during that improbable, impossible first trip to the Super Bowl. The Orange Crush, Broncomania. Nobody expected that. Denver had finally arrived. And 20 long years later, when the Broncos finally won the Super Bowl But in between those football-filled autumns, there had to be something to do to pass the time. There was. It was just on a much smaller scale. — "This one's for John!" — nobody could smirk more when someone referred to Denver among the most credible of sports towns, right there with Philly or Houston or Chicago. Mile High Stadium — the real Mile High Stadium that is now a parking lot adjacent to the new Invesco Field — was originally Bears Stadium, a 17,000-seater built on the corner of 19th and Clay in 1948 for the Denver Bears of the old Western League. Within 20 years, the place was expanded and renamed so it could become a viable home for the Broncos. Watching baseball there was a surreal experience. Someday, the thinking went, that stadium would be home to a big-league team. That was always a dream that seemed close, yet so far away for Denver. Charley Finley nearly sold his Oakland Athletics to Colorado businessman Marvin Davis, who would have moved them to the Mile High City in the early '80s. A few times, the headlines screamed that it was all but a done deal. It never happened. More than a decade later, Colorado finally got its own team. It's "Rocktober" in Colorado. The World Series is coming to Denver. How crazy does that sound?

The sky is overcast with a cloudy horizon. In the foreground, one golfer is hitting a golf ball, while others are watching or holding golf bags. The scene suggests a golf course setting with a coastal view. Rob Carr/ASSOCIATED PRESS Padraig Harrington of Ireland follows his tee shot on the 18th hole during the PGA Grand Slam of Golf tournament, Tuesday in Tucker's Town, Bermuda. Putts save Harrington in Bermuda BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS TUCKER'S TOWN, Bermuda — Someone forgot to tell Padraig Harrington this is supposed to be a working vacation. The PGA Grand Slam of Golf felt much more like work Tuesday, with the British Open champion grinding so hard to keep control of his game that he barely noticed the turquoise coastline below the Mid-Ocean Club on his way to a 3-under 67 and a one-shot lead. "I was struggling with my game, so my head was very much down," Harrington said. "I saw a little bit of the nice coastline and scenery, but it was very much a workmanlike day. Every shot I was a bit worried. It was a tough day out there for me, and luckily, the putts were dropping and it kept me right in there." U. S. Open champion Angel Cabrera nearly caught him until his 15-foot eagle putt came up short on the 18th hole, giving him a 68. Masters champion Zach Johnson and Jim Furky each had a 71 in rounds that looked nothing alike. Johnson had to play a shot out of someone's backyard on the second hole and was 4 over through five holes until playing bogey-free the rest of the way, Furky, the replacement for Tiger Woods, made 15 pars and very few putts and was only glad he wasn't farther behind. Overall, it wasn't a bad start for an exhibition that changed islands and oceans for the first time in 13 years. The Grand Slam of Golf, the most exclusive field in golf reserved only for the year's major champions, left Poipu Bay in Hawaii after 13 years for the Mid-Ocean Club in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a course that measures only 6.666 yards but still offered a stern test with swirling breezes, hidden pins and greens so pure the players at times got too aggressive. "You feel like you can hole the putts," Harrington said. "I ran my putt by 6 feet on the 17th because I was thinking I could hole it from 20 feet. You get caught up by the facts that the greens are very good." battled with his swing, hitting left into the water on par-3 third and scrambling for bogey, then nearly hitting his tee shot on the fifth hole into the water. He hit his approach into 18 feet for birdie and the recovery began. Harrington has the most experience, having arrived early enough to play 15 holes on Sunday, followed by his pro-am round Monday. But he The Irishman holed an 8-footer for birdie on the sixth, made a 20-foot putt on the eighth, and looked as though he might run away from the field with consecutive birdies early on the back nine, including his 5-iron to 18 feet on the 12th. But the score was somewhat of a mirage. Harrington started coming back to the field with a poor chip from just left of the 13th green that ran 15 feet by the cup, which he missed for bogey. And on the 504-yard 15th, which played as a par 4, he pulled his approach into the gallery, then couldn't make up his mind how to hit his pitch until his ball had left the club and was sailing over the green into a bunker. He did well to escape with bogey. What's That Smell? Leave the premises immediately. Leave the door open when you exit.

Aquila Providing Energy For Better Living KS_346_07A · 9/07 Cabrera made short work of the par 5s, as expected, and had only one bogey on his card. That also came on the 13th, with his ball a few yards in front of Harrington, a chip that wasn't much better. "I didn't play very well," Harrington said. "I just managed to hole the right putts and made the right decisions." The destination was not to one of golf's famous datelines like Pebble Beach or Augusta, but remote places like Beatrice, Neb., and Salina, Kan. He toiled on the Teardrop Tour, the Dakotas Tour and even something called the Prairie Tour, which no longer exists. He eventually graduated to the Hooters Tour and the Nationwide Tour. PGA Aquila Providing Energy For Better Living. This was the car Zach Johnson drove across the heartland of America to find golf tournaments to play in a career that only looked promising to the guy behind the wheel. Johnson remembers the road to the Masters TUCKER'S TOWN, Bermuda (AP) — The journey toward a lifetime pass down Magnolia Lane began in a Dodge Intrepid. Let that be a lesson to some unknown grinding away at state opens and mini-tours that look like a road to nowhere. Or to some kid who never got recruited to a major college, or who never had the means to train at a golf academy. "They're both fantasies," he said. "One fantasy is looking back to those days on the mini-tours and thinking, 'No way it can happen.' The other fantasy is looking back now and saying, 'I can't believe it happened.' My wife and I still, to this day, are like, 'Wow, we won the Masters?' It's still mind-boggling. It's still unreal to us." Johnson is not an imposing figure, and a green jacket doesn't change that. He is not the most physically gifted golfer, certainly not cut out of the same mold as Woods or Mickelson or Ernie Els, who were dripping with golf talent before they got out of high school. "It was a boat," Johnson said. "But I loved it. Bought a CD player to put in it and I was all set." Prosperity was found in faith, not in a bank account. ASSOCIATED PRESS A good year meant he had enough money left over to pay back a group of investors from Iowa who financed his dream, and he managed to do that five out of six years in the minor leagues. "I'm from Cedar Rapids, Iowa," Johnson said when he won the Masters. "That's about it. I'm a normal guy." "That's what made me what He modeled his game after Jim Furyk, a former U.S. Open champion in Bermuda as the first alternate. Furky doesn't overpower a golf course, but he gets by on determination and strategy, good puttin I am today," Johnson said. "Playing on the Hooters Tour, the Nationwide Tour, the Prairie Tour. Long days in the car, long days on the range. Paying entry fees." Johnson is simply a product of hard work and a lot of belief. Masters champions on a Tuesday night at Augusta National. His guest list for the Grand Slam includes a support team that has help keep him grounded, from mental coach Morris Pickens to swing coach Mike Bender to putting instructor Pat O'Brien to fitness guru Chris Noss. Standing Johnson stands out in this four-man field as a normal guy capable of extraordinary things, and someone who hasn't forgotten where he came from and who helped him get there. It would have been unfathomable to think he could go from the Prairie Tour to organizing dinner for Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, Ben Crenshaw, Phil Mickelson and the rest of the "It's weird," he said. "It seems like yesterday. But it also seems like 20 years ago." ZACH JOHNSON PGA golfer "My wife and I still, to this day, are like,'Wow, we won the Masters?' It's still mind-boggling. It's still unreal to us." inside the locker room at the Mid-Ocean Club, Johnson paused from reliving his early years as a professional and shook his head, still having a hard time believing that a tiny tournament in a tiny town in Nebraska eventually would make him a Masters champion and bring him to Bermuda with the other major champions of 2007 for the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. and great iron play.

With this year's expectations, how have the two teams set your expectations? A. A. On the men's side, the main expectations come from the next three meets — conference regional and national meetings, that will determine whether the expectations were achieved or not. So, on the men's side I would say we are a work in progress and need to step up and attack it as a team. On the women's side we are getting better and better, and our expectations are not individual but as a team. B. JANE Q. What famous duo would you compare Paul (Hefferon) and Colby (Wissel) too? A. A. I think that both of the guys have very different personalities and both are very good competitors, both are good in what they do and both have great personalities. I think both of them are Batman and Batman, I don't think that one is a step down from the other. I think they're leaders in different ways and most of the time when you talk about duos, you talk as if one is the leader and one is a step down. That is why I think they're Batman and Batman. O Q. Being a former runner, what do you think of Marion Jones? A A. I think that different people have different motivations and in her issue she found what she did to help her gain success. I think that she was still a great athlete and would be able to obtain those goals with a little bit more hard work and could have taken a little longer, but I think she is a great person. Good people do bad things and this could be one of those incidents." Q. Kobe or Lebron? Q A A. Kobe? Do you mean Colby Wissel? There is only one Colby to me. When you get down to it though, Kobe is a good guard and Lebron is a good Forward. They are hard to compare, because they are two different athletes in two different positions that both excel. Q. The Morris twins are? A.I guess I need to know, who are the Morris twins?" Q. Favorite place to eat? A. Home. I travel a lot of places and nothing compares to a home-cooked meal. Q Q. The BCS is? A. The BCS is a way that will hopefully determine who the real champion is, and it hopefully is the way that KU is going. A Q. You vs. Paul (Hefferon) and Colby (Wissel) in a race; what's the finish? A A. What's the race? If it was a short race back in my prime, I would have a good chance, but they would beat me pretty bad today in a longer race. Q. Favorite athlete growing up? A.

I've always been a Nike guy, but I'd pretty much run in anything. Adidas has been fine, but I've always believed that shoes are shoes. If their light and have spikes then they're fine. It's more the man that's wearing them. BY PETER SOTO psoto@kansan.com Q. What kind of shoes do you prefer? Do you and the rest of the cross country team have any traditions? Q. Q. What do you think about when you are running? A. Each year that I've been in school we've had a team song. We've put the songs on a CD and when we're in the van going to meet or coming back we listen to them. The first year was this techno song done by this elite level steeple chaser named Anthony Famiglietti. He's a really eccentric guy and he has a band called Starts the Party. Sophomore year was "Rock you like a Hurricane" by the Scorpions. Last year was "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and this year is "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen. We're pretty proud of those. A A A Different things. I try not to think about the things that normally worry me throughout the day. During regular runs we talk together, but during workouts I usually sing a song in my head. Lately I've been trying to use key words like "strength" and "fluid." I've been working with our sports psychologist on this thing and using certain trigger words that keep me focused and help me know what I'm doing with form and things like that. A Q. How do you think the team will do at the Big 12 Championship? SENIOR PAUL HEFFERON OF THE MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY TEAM A. I think we could be any Frightened Feet where from third to sixth or seventh. We've got a really strong conference this year. I hate conceding victories to anyone in anything, but in being realistic I think third or fourth would be sweet. adidas OR adidas Q. If your life were a movie, what kind of movie would it be? WELCOME It would be one of those epic battle movies like "Gladiator" or "BraveHeart," and I would be one of those guys who has an arrow stuck in his chest, but pulls it out. I get real jacked up about that kind of stuff. Q. Who would play you? A. A. Christian Bale. He's Q. Who would play your leading woman? A A. Natalie Portman. I love Natalie Portman. She's gorgeous so she'd be my leading lady. Q. What kind of bands or musicians would be on the soundtrack? The thing is that most of my favorite musicians wouldn't be good for a battle epic movie. I really like kind of bluesy stuff, so that wouldn't be on the soundtrack. I really like Blindside, some Foo Fighters, maybe some Scorpions. I'd probably throw some 80's stuff in there. Scorpions, Queen and David Bowie. A Stand out this Halloween! Rent a costume at: Sarah's Costumes (Downstairs at Sarah's Fabrics) 925 Mass St (785) 843-98 Q. What would it be rated? A A. I don't like when they put all of those extra sex scenes in there just to have them. So if it were going to be "R" then it would be because of the killing and stuff. I'd try to make it PG-13 so more people could watch it. MATTHEW JOHNSON What would it be Q. titled? Q. scene? A. I'm going to go with my old softball nickname, and I think it would be appropriate. I think it would probably be called "Power Jungle." Of course it would probably be part of a trilogy, so you'd have "Power Jungle II" and "Power Jungle III." Q. What's the most climatic scene? A. I'm leading my band of misfits and miscreants, and we're being oppressed by this huge army. They're on white horses, and we have spears that we've whittled from sticks and we have bugs in out hair and stuff. We have a wild look in our eyes. There been a huge battle, and we've killed off most of the other guys from the other army, but now there's only fifty of us left and we're completely surrounded on all sides. 10 Q How does it end? A. It should end with a one-on-one thing where I'm battling the top general or king and we both die at the end. I save my people who are released from oppression, but I have to give my life for it.

INSIDE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 118 ISSUE 44 WHAT ARE YOU WEARING? Costume shops offer unique attire for sale, rent Stores find risqué, original Halloween outfits popular with college students J BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com As Oct. 31 approaches, the hunt is on for students to find the perfect attire for Halloween festivities. Costumes shops in Lawrence are appealing to students' tastes by offering a variety of spooky and shocking outfits for sale or rent. Spirit Halloween, 3140 Iowa St., is a seasonal store which reopened its doors in September. Alex Munoz, a Spirit Halloween clerk, said the store had received good business so far. "We have been getting a lot of customers from the start, from young kids to parents and older adults," Munoz said. "But we sell mostly to college students." Munoz said kids tended to buy scary masks, such as a monsters or goblins, while risqué costumes were popular with college students. "There is a lot of interest in dressing as a Playboy bunny." Munoz said. He said the Playboy outfits had been popular with both genders and thought they had always been top sellers in years past. Todd Anderson, Hutchinson senior, who was shopping for a costume, said he thought the Playboy costumes would always be popular among females. Fun & Games, 1601 W.23rd St., is open all year, and offers a variety of Halloween costumes. The family-owned store caters primarily to college students, but has plenty to offer children and adults as well. "Last year looked like a Victoria's Secret model show because every girl I saw was wearing next to nothing," Anderson said. Gwen Billings, Fun & Games employee, said the store prided itself on low prices and its large costume selection. Billings said the store offered customers more than 780 adult-sized costumes. He said popular costumes included police officer, pirate and Hawaiian outfits. Renting a costume is also an option. Sarah's Fabrics, 925 Massachusetts St., specializes in fabric costumes for rent during the Halloween season. Kathy Barland, Sarah's Fabrics employee, said she thought her store offered more unique costumes than most stores in town. Barland said she thought students shoped at Sarah's because they wanted original costumes. "I feel like our costumes are more than just something made out of plastic," Barland said. "Our costumes are more realistic, less imaginary. You could wear them for more than Halloween." Anderson said stores that offered unique costumes attracted more customers.

"Look at all my other accomplishments," Lindsey-Nunn said. Lindsey-Nunn participated in a panel discussion yesterday afternoon in Kansas Union. The topics included women, disability and power.

To bring in the ghostly season, they put 13 light-up jack-o-lanterns on their roof and lights all over their house on 12th and Tennessee streets. The main attraction is the 8-foot-tall inflatable grim reaper. Roommates bring Halloween to Tennessee Street The girls spent about $300 on all the decorations. They said they wanted to go the extra mile this year because they wouldn't have the opportunity to when they were older. "When we're adults in suburbs, everyone will be all conservative, and wed never be able to do this. So we thought, 'Why not' now? Let's have fun." McClusky and Moore's neighbors are enjoying the festive scene, often stopping by to look and pay compliments.

The task force came after Senate failed a resolution asking KU administration to repeal that policy. Ian Staples, student senator, said that the policy needs to be reviewed because 14 KU students are being sued because the University did not inform them they were being charged with illegal file sharing in a timely manner.

The first new one is written by Kansan management, consisting of Editor and Chief Erick R. Schmidt, Managing Editor Darla Slipke and me, also managing editor. You can find our blog on Kansan.com under "Blogs," titled, "From the Grindhouse." On the blog, we'll discuss various news related topics or, quite frankly, whatever we want to say. BY ERIC JORGENSEN EJORGENSEN@KANSAN.COM The second blog, also on Kansan.com, is "JayPlays," written by Jayplay Editor Jaime Netzer and Associate Editor Dani Hurst. In management's first blog, I chose the topic of the unlucky individuals who stand by busy roads, holding signs for their job, such as Little Caesars. Here's an excerpt: I think it's terrific how some Lawrence businesses are taking a page out of high school cheerleading car washes when it comes to advertising. Out with the new age of Internet The Japlay editors write about entertainment, school, relationships, and in their first official blog, about a pesky white spot on Netzer's chest that won't go away and is poked fun at by many at the Kansan. and television advertising and in with the Stone Age method of holding signs and waving madly. The humorous part of my day is looking at these poor souls' facial expressions as they stand, shoulders slouching, a sign hanging from their neck, their blank stares gazing across the road as they forcefully wave at the cars.

The 11-year-old medium sulfur-crested cockatoo lifts his legs, squawks and bobs his head, flashing his bright yellow crest to the beat of the boy band's "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)." He even takes a bow with a vigorous bob of his head at the end of the 1997 pop tune. When Snowball was given to a bird rescue shelter a few months ago, the previous owner included the CD and instructions to watch his reaction. Irena Schulz said she almost fainted at the sight. The couple said they have been contacted by people from around the world who have watched Snowball on the video-sharing Web site YouTube. "I'm thinking, 'What on Earth is this? This is unreal,'" said Irena, who runs Bird Lovers Only Rescue with her husband, Chuck. ASSOCIATED PRESS The northwestern Indiana couple have more than 30 birds in their home and many are available for adoption. "He makes a great spokesbird for the rescue," Chuck Schulz said. Snowball has found his permanent home. "He's my baby, Irena Schulz said. "He will stay here and be loved." Snake hidden in toilet scares Brooklyn woman NEW YORK — There was no Halloween bogeyman in the closet for one Brooklyn woman — just a 7-foot-long python in her toilet. Snowball, an 11-year-old medium sulfur-cured Eleonora cockatoo, dances to the Backstreet Boy songs 'Everybody (Backstress' back') in the Scherwellie, Ind., home of frena Schulz Tuesday. Nadege Brunacci was washing her hands in her bathroom before dawn Monday when she glanced back and saw the slithering serpent peeking out from her toilet, most of its body hidden in the pipes. "it turned on the light and screamed," Brunacci, 38, told the New York Daily News. "It still makes my heart race." Brunacci slammed down the lid, put a heavy box on top of the toilet and called for help, which came from her landlord and firefighters. Plumbers had to tear apart the downstairs neighbor's pipes to capture the snake, she said. It's unclear how the snake made its way into the pipes.

Full Senate created the task force after failing a resolution, proposed by the Student Rights Committee, which would have asked for a return to the University's previous policy and a repeal of the zero-tolerance policy. The previous policy didn't revoke Internet privileges in student housing until a student had been caught file sharing three times. Four members of the Student Rights Committee — Mason Heilman, Emily Williams, Tom Cox and Ian Staples — presented the legislation. Staples said one of his concerns was that several students were not forwarded letters that the Recording Industry Association of America had sent to the University notifying them that the RIAA had filed charges against those students for illegally sharing files. As a result, the students did not have enough time to settle the charges out of court and lawsuits had been filed against them. “If I had gotten the letter, I would get a lawyer in 5 minutes. If I don't get the letter, I have no options.” Staples said. “In an attempt to protect student rights, we have allowed 14 students to get sued.” The University implemented a zero-tolerance policy towards illegal file sharing this summer, which takes away Internet privileges from students if they are caught sharing files illegally. According to the ResNet Web site, students will then receive notice from the University that their Internet privileges are being revoked and that they would have five days to appeal. Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, asked Senate to fail the resolution and stated that she would have vetoed the resolution if it had passed. Love said that she and other Senate leaders have already worked with the University Administration to resolve problems with the zero-tolerance policy. Love has previously said that the zero-tolerance policy was too stringent, but that the former policy wasn't strict enough. "There has been progress made. There has been compromise made," Love said. "I cannot support a resolution that encourages illegal download." LAKERS The task force will consist for Love, Student Body Vice President Ray Wittlinger, Student Senate Executive Chair Adam McGonigle, two members of full Senate and two members of the Student Rights Committee. Although Student Senate cannot force the KU administration to change policies, it can charge members to work with the administration to influence policies and advise changes. Roney has previously stated that she is willing to work with Student Senate on this issue. Marlesa Roney, vice provost of Student Success, told Senate that so far this year, 85 students have been disciplined for illegal file sharing in the residence hall. Of those 85, Roney said, 65 had successfully appealed. lan Staples, Student Rights committee member, argues for a resolution against the zero-tolerance illegal file sharing policy at the Student Senate full assembly meeting Wednesday night at the Kansas Union. Fourteen KU students have recently become involved in lawsuits due to music uploads. Katherine Loeck/KANSAN Edited by Rachel Bock student senate notes Student Senate debated several issues last night, including the power of Senate to remove senators for election violations, the use of Senate money to fund travel and the dismissal of three senators who were absent from meetings and office hours. Below is a recap of the debates. REMOVAL OF SENATORS FOR ELECTION VIOLATIONS Student Senate passed a bill that would allow the Student Executive Committee to discipline student senators found to have participated in egregious election violations. The previous policy only allowed students found to participate in election violations to be punished by the Elections Commission, which did not have the authority to immediately remove those students from Senate. In that case, a senator could have committed an election violation during elections in April but continued to work in Senate until the Senate year ended in May. Senators would also lose rights to any monetary compensation they received for their work and be prohibited from participation in Senate for 12 months. The bill was authored by the Student Rights Standing Committee. THE USE OF SENATE MONEY TO FUND TRAVEL Student groups with a travel exemption can now receive funding for any registration fees that are acquired because of their travels. Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and student executive chair, said he authored the legislation to resolve a discrepancy in a decision made over the summer. This summer, the Student Executive Committee passed legislation that allows only groups that exist for the sole purpose of traveling, such as the Model United Nations, which exists to travel to conferences where it participates in a debate that resembles the United Nations, to be the only groups allowed to receive funding for travel. Other groups cannot travel on Student Senate money. However, the Senate Executive Committee failed to include in the change that groups with a travel exemption could also receive registration fees for conferences they travel to. McGonigle said the bill was simply meant to resolve this issue. SENATE DISMISSALS Before full Senate met, the Student Executive Committee met and discussed the suspensions of 15 senators who were suspended for not attending meetings and missing office hours. One dismissal, Nick Squier, a business senator, leaves the business school with no senate representation because Julie Strick, the other business senator, recently resigned. The decisions regarding the suspensions are below: Allie Owens (Off-Campus) - dismissed Anne Slaughter (Fr/Sr CLAS) - dismissed Nick Squier (Business) - dismissed Jen O'Neill (Non-traditional) - resigned Kimberly Redlin (Fr/Soph CLAS) - resigned Julie Strick (Business) – resigned Jessica Ward (Graduate) – resigned Jose Artiago (ASHC) – reinstated Quinton Cheney (Jr/Sr CLAS) - reinstated Gina Gay (Jr/Sr CLAS) – reinstated Jarod Morgenstern (Journalism) - reinstated Sam Schlageck (FA) – reinstated Grant Treaster (Fr/Sr CLAS) - reinstated Tom French (Fr/Soph CLAS) - tabled Scott Paradise (Off-Campus) - tabled — Erin Sommer THIS WEEK ON CAMPUS The Intern Showcase your creative, analytical, team building and leadership skills through a series of competitive events.

Lindsey-Nunn, Salina senior, is a mother, teacher, student, businesswoman and volunteer. She also has epilepsy. She said being labeled as handicapped was derogatory, and being labeled as disabled was inappropriate. "That's the same term used to describe a truck holding up traffic on I-70," Lindsey-Nunn said. Lindsev- Lindsey-Nunn stressed the importance of using person first language for example, saying "she has epilepsy" rather than saying "she is epileptic." Nunn participated in the panel discussion "Critical Conversations: Women, Disability and Power," hosted by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. The Center has previously hosted Critical Conversations, but this was the first time they had discussed women and disabilities. Lindsey-Nunn stressed the importance of using person-first language. "The main reason we are doing this is because it's a topic that's never really talked about," said Angela Oliver, assistant director for the Student Involvement and Leadership Center and moderator of the discussion. "The biggest disability is always attitude", Rasnak said. — for example, saying "he has epilepsy" rather than saying "she is epileptic." She said person-first language kept the focus on the person and not on what the person had. Achievement and Access Center director, said she was not satisfied with the University's policy on diversity because it did not take into consideration people with disabilities. She said society had not yet reached the point where the range of potential of individuals with disabilities could be accepted. Mary Ann Rasnak, Academic Lynn Bretz director of University communications, said Chancellor Robert Hemenway was proactive in making the University a welcoming and accommodat ing place for students with disabilities. She said the chancellor took a tour of the campus in a wheelchair in 2004, then funded additional accommodations such as power doors. Bretz said the original language of the policy was intentionally put into broad terms to cover a range of people with disabilities including "financial, social, family, physical or educational hardships." "Awareness can change," Bretz said. "If the disability community wants to revisit the policy, they should contact Student Success and the chancellor's office, both of whom have been very receptive to concerns from students with disabilities." — Edited by Luke Morris Life Happens.

Making the condoms available violated district policy, spokesman Ron Harbaugh told WIBW radio, adding that district officials were surprised by a story about the effort in Wednesday's edition of The Topeka Capital-Journal. District officials did not return phone calls from The Associated Press seeking comment, but the interim superintendent, Terry Sandlin, planned an afternoon news conference to discuss the matter.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM THURSDAY OCTOBER 20 BURRITO-MADE EPIPHANIES Using a urinal doesn't need to be awkward Men should get over their inhibitions and end the embarrassment of a trip to the bathroom ROSS STEWART E everyone, I have an announcement to make. I, Ross Stewart, have Why am I upset about this? It's not because I feel some sort of insecurity, I don't pee like boys of a young age often do—pants to the ankles, shirt to the chin. I'm not concerned about the awkward conversation. "Hey, nice penis. How's that working for you?" I've been noticing something as of late though. No, nothing striking a resemblance to testicular cancer, but that men at this college are unnerved by urinating next to one another. Why can't guys use urinals right next to each other? There is an unspoken rule of sorts, a man law if you will, about skipping over one urinal to make things more comfortable for everyone, but honestly, we're all adults here. We should be able to handle this by now. The reason it bothers me is that every time a man feels uncomfortable urinating next to another man, he inadvertently skips over using a urinal and uses a stall instead. Men pee standing up, so he usually urinates all 1. Ross Stewart, have a penis. I've had it for 20 years. It's a lot like carrying around a calculator, except it doesn't do math, other than the number one. EDITORIAL BOARD over the seat. My bringing up how long I've had a penis in the beginning of this column has a point; I can aim. All of us by this age should be able to do the same. So you can understand why I'm so bent out of shape about men being timid to use a urinal. When I enter a bathroom to use a stall for what it was designed for and have to wait for a guy who's just peeing standing up, I get a little irritated. But when I go to use that stall after him and he has urinated all over the seat, I usually exit the stall and say, "Hey man, thanks!" To men who pee all over the seat, imagine this happening. I follow you back to your car in an air of mirth. Me:"Oh, nice car." You: "Thanks." Me: (Peeing on your car seat) "Go ahead sit down, sit please; I'm just, you know, 'being me.'" It's going to happen one of these days. The best solution I can come up with to avoid fines and jail time for both urinating in public and assault with urine is that the University take some of what we each pay in student fees and install some dividers between the urinals. Or you know, we could all just grow up a little bit. Oh I forgot, if I haven't said penis enough in this column yet: penis, penis, penis and penis. Stewart is a Wichita junior in journalism.

Freedom of speech demands responsibility Colorado State University editorial displays poor judgment, lack of maturity A four-word editorial on Friday, Sept. 21 in the Colorado State Uni- A Colorado State University newspaper, The Rocky Mountain Collegian, has put the student-run newspaper under the nation's spotlight. The editorial read, "Taser this: Fuck Bush." Under the editorial it read, "This column represents the views of the Collegian's editorial board." The issue at hand is not that of the First Amendment, because as a student-run paper, it is the student editors who have a final say over content. The issue is how the board decided to address the rights that are allotted to students under the First Amendment. The board, which consists of seven editors, is said to have wrestled back and forth over the idea of whether to run the editorial statement, which put the editor-in-chief, J. David McSwane, at risk of losing his job.The Collegegian has received flak for the statement across the nation, as well as locally.The paper is said to have lost about $30,000 in advertising, which will result in a pay cut for all staff members. The statement is in reference to the Tasering of a University of Florida student as he attempted to ask multiple questions during a tirade at a Sen. John Kerry speech. The editors claim that it was not a political statement, but about the rights of students on campuses. Regardless of their intentions, which were not stated in the 'editorial,' the headline did not come on as a statement about free speech. It was an irresponsible decision by the editors, which cost many students a loss in pay, and put the professionalism and ethics of the paper in question. The University Daily Kansan has the right to run any newworthy story or opinion by staffers, at the editors' discretion. The Free For All, for example, contains expletives almost every day. However, if any story is run that does contain vulgar content, we at the Kansan, feel we have a purpose in our use of such words. While freedom of speech and the First Amendment are both highly valued, it is a matter of ethics and professional courtesy on how journalists attempt to test the limits. If the Collegian is going for the 'shock jock' of college papers, it receives the Don Imus Award hands down. The board claims that it was not their intention to promote irresponsible journalism, although the coverage and media regarding the editorial may suggest otherwise. If the Collegian, or any other student-run newspaper, does choose to comment on the rights of students on campus, we hope they follow in line behind those student journalists who do exercise our rights in a respectable, non-vulgar or president-bashing way. DRAWING BOARD FINE! HAVE SOME. BUT THAT'S ALL YOU GET, ZIMBABWE. BURGERTIMES MAX RINKEL Charity deserves kudos, regardless of origin Money raised by alcohol-serving bars and clubs still goes to a worthy cause PETER SCHNEIDER JACOB MUSELMANN Some of us have it all, but no one feels like they themselves do. S compassion for others. Something that seems to coincide in this nature this season is the increase in awareness of poverty and implementing programs, drives and benefits to prepare for the colder months. Many groups, from food kitchens to bars, are lending a hand in helping to provide a wider range of local they themselves do. October is marked with several good things that make this time of year my favorite. The beginning of basketball (or at least the heightened sense of school spirit it creates), the change in the weather and my typical dive into all things pumpkin usually raise my spirits and general support for these causes—a fact I couldn't believe had drawn dispute. Bars' involvement in fund-raising efforts for charity is not okay with some, a fact that is puzzling for me. Saturday the Replay Lounge hosted "Fashion Monsters," a fashion show displaying local stores' merchandise, with a three-dollar cover going to the Social Service League. It looked to be a success; the place was crowded, and the show was good (almost wholesome) fun. As a result, the Social Service League now has more funds to use and everyone had a good time on Saturday. I don't see the moral argument opponents try to claim. Many legal-aged attendees were probably going to go to a bar anyway. Similar derision is also directed at the upcoming "Crawl for Cancer" in Kansas City, Mo., where groups sign up for a night of drinking at different local pubs to benefit the American Cancer Society and Helping Hands. Opposition claims it is not the best way to raise money, although the Crawl fills up quickly each year. It is not as if the giving were by the glass. More drinks do not equal more giving in any of these events. No one is asking anyone to drape over the toilet for charity, pass out for charity or have a hangover for charity. Those in need are not grappling with the fact that someone donated cans or a huge check was presented or if someone bought a cookie or if someone paid a bar cover one night to support them. Compassion is not just for the up-tights. It all translates to the same spirit of giving. That, I think, is where more is always better. Muselmann is a Tula, Okla, junior in journalism.

The request came three weeks after a lawsuit accused his family of lavish spending at donors' expense and illegal involvement in a local political campaign. Oral Roberts president asks for leave of absence BY JUSTIN JUOZAPAVICIUS ASSOCIATED PRESS TULSA, Okla. — Oral Roberts University President Richard Roberts asked the school's board of regents for a leave of absence Wednesday amid accusations of lavish spending at donors' expense and illegal involvement in a political campaign. The 58-year-old son of the evangelist who founded the school said he would continue in his role as chairman and chief executive of Oral Roberts Ministries. "I don't know how long this leave of absence will last, but I fully trust the members of the Board of Regents." Roberts said in a statement released by the university. "I pray and believe that in God's timing, and when the Board feels that it is appropriate, I will be back at my post as president." An Oct. 2 lawsuit filed by three former ORU professors says they were wrongfully dismissed and accuses Roberts of misspending at donors' expense, including numerous home remodels and a senior trip to the Bahamas for one daughter on the ministry's dime. It also accuses Roberts of illegal involvement in a local political campaign, which would violate the university's nonprofit status. The professors say they were forced out after turning over this information to the board of regents. Their suit was amended last week to include new allegations that documents were shredded and destroyed days after the initial lawsuit was filed, and hours after ORU and Richard Roberts fired the school's comproller.

Rahim doesn't practice any particular faith, but she signed a letter declaring that because of her deeply held religious beliefs, her 4-year-old son should be exempt from the vaccinations required to enter preschool. BY STEVE LEBLANC ASSOCIATED PRESS "it's misleading," Rahim admitted, but she said she fears that earlier vaccinations may be to blame for her son's autism. "I find it very troubling, but for my son's safety, I feel this is the only option we have." An Associated Press examination of states' vaccination records and data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that many states are seeing increases in the rate of religious exemptions claimed for kindergartners. Twenty-eight states, including BOSTON — Sabrina Rahim doesn't practice any particular faith, but she had no problem signing a letter declaring that because of her deeply held religious beliefs, her 4-year-old son should be exempt from the vaccinations required to enter preschool. "Do I think that religious exemptions have become the default? Absolutely," said Dr. Paul Offit, head of infectious diseases at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia and one of the harshest critics of the anti-vaccine movement. He said the resistance to vaccines is "an irrational, fear-based decision." The number of exemptions is extremely small in percentage terms and represents just a few thousand of the 3.7 million children entering kindergarten in 2005, the most recent figure available. All states have some requirement that youngsters be immunized against such childhood diseases as measles, mumps, chickenpox, diphtheria and whooping cough. But public health officials say it takes only a few people to cause an outbreak that can put large numbers of lives at risk. She is among a small but growing number of parents around the country who are claiming religious exemptions to avoid vaccinating their children when the real reason may be skepticism of the shots or concern they can cause other illnesses. Some of these parents say they are being forced to lie because of the way the vaccination laws are written in their states. "When you choose not to get a vaccine, you're not just making a choice for yourself, you're making a choice for the person sitting next to you," said Dr. Lance Rodewald, director of the CDC's Immunization Services Division. 15 Increasing number of parents use religion to avoid child vaccinations HOMECOMING 2007 KICK-OFF!

Twenty other states, among them California, Pennsylvania, Texas and Ohio, also allow parents to cite personal or philosophical reasons. Mississippi and West Virginia allow exemptions for medical reasons only. From 2003 to 2007, religious exemptions for kindergartners increased, in some cases doubled or tripped, in 20 of the 28 states that allow only medical or religious exemptions, the AP found. Religious exemptions decreased in three of The rate of exemption requests is also increasing. these states — Nebraska, Wyoming, South Carolina —and were unchanged in five others. F o r example, in Massachusetts. years. The numbers from the various states cannot be added up with accuracy. Some states used a sampling of students to gauge levels of vaccinations. Others surveyed all or nearly all students. Fifteen of the 20 states that allow both religious and philosophical exemptions have seen increases in both, according to the AP's findings. While some parents — Christian Scientists and certain fundamentalists, for example — have genuine religious objections to medicine, it is clear that others are simply "When you choose not to get a vaccine, you're not just making a choice for yourself, you're making a choice for the person sitting next to you." DR. LANCE RODEWALD CDC Immunization Services the rate of those seeking exemptions has more than doubled in the past decade — from 0.24 percent, or 210, in 1996 to 0.60 percent, or 474, in 2006. In Florida, 1,249 children claimed religious exemptions in 2006, almost double the 661 who did so just four years earlier. That was an increase of 0.3 to 0.6 percent of the student population. Georgia, New Hampshire and Alabama saw their rates double in the past four distrustful of shots. Someparents say they are not convinced vaccinations help. Others fear the vaccinations themselves may make their children sick and even cause autism. Even though government-funded studies have found no link between vaccines and autism, loosely organized groups of parents and even popular cultural figures such as radio host Don Imus have voiced concerns. Most of the furor on Internet message boards and Web sites has been about a mercury-based preservative once used in vaccines that some believe contributes to neurological disorders. Unvaccinated children can spread diseases to others who have not gotten their shots or those for whom vaccinations provided less-than-complete protection. In 1991, a religious group in Philadelphia that chose not to immunize its children touched off an outbreak of measles that claimed at least eight lives and sickened more than 700 people, mostly children. And in 2005, an Indiana girl who had not been immunized picked up the measles virus at an orphanage in Romania and unknowingly brought it back to a church group. Within a month, the number of people infected had grown to 31 in what health officials said was the nation's worst outbreak of the disease in a decade. Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center, one of the leading vaccine skeptic groups, said she discourages parents from pursuing religious exemptions unless they are genuine. Instead, Fisher said, parents should work to change the laws in their states. Rachel Magni, a 35-year-old stay-at-home mother in Newton, Mass., said she is afraid vaccines could harm her children and "overwhelm their bodies." Even though she attends a Protestant church that allows vaccinations, Magni pursued a religious exemption so her 4-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son, who have never been vaccinated, could attend preschool. "I felt that the risk of the vaccine was worse than the risk of the actual disease," she said.

He also suggested Moscow and Tehran should have a veto on Western plans for new pipelines to carry oil and natural gas from the Caspian Sea, using routes that would bypass Russian soil and break the Kremlin's monopoly on energy deliveries from the region. Putin came to Tehran for a summit of the five nations bordering the Caspian, but his visit was aimed more at strengthening efforts to blunt U.S. economic and military ties in the area. Yet he also refused to set a date for complet- "We are saying that no (Caspian) nations should offer their territory to outside powers for aggression or any military action against any of the Caspian states," Putin said. region, a clear reference to the United States, which many in Iran fear will attack over the West's suspicions that the Iranians are secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons. The five national leaders at the summit later signed a declaration that included a similar statement — an apparent reflection of Iranian fears that the United States could use Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made similar comments. ing Iran's first nuclear reactor, trying to avoid an outright show of support for Iran's defiance over its nuclear program. توفي في بريطانيا بعد عمر 81 عاماً. يُحضر في دبي شعره ودوراته المدرسة في بيروت ومع بعضهم على مراحلته الناجمة. وقد قام رسول الله ﷺ بسيدته الصادقاء للدولة الإسلامية. "We are saying that no (Caspian) nations should offer their territory to outside powers for aggression or any military action against any of the Caspian states." Putin strongly warned outside powers against use of force in the Azerbaijan's territory as a staging ground for military strikes in Iran. Putin has warned against such attacks previously, but reiterating them in Tehran gave them greater resonance — particularly at a summit for a region where Moscow deeply resents U.S. and European attempts at greater influence. VLADIMIR PUTIN President of Russia Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, right, listens to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin during the Caspian Sea leaders summit Tuesday in Tehran, Iran. The Russian leader also used the occasion to make a nod to Iran's national pride — describing it as a "world power" and referring to the might of the ancient Persian empire ASSOCIATED PRESS In Iran's confrontation with the West, Russia has tread a fine line, warning against heavy pressure on Iran and protecting it — for now — from a third round of U.N. sanctions, while urging Tehran to heed the Security Council's demand that it halt uranium enrichment. "I only gave promises to my mom when I was a small boy," he snapped when Iranian reporters prodded him to promise a quick launch. "Russia is trying to sit in two chairs at the same time," Fyodor Lukyanov, editor of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, told The Associated Press. A pledge to quickly complete the plant would send a "strong signal to the West that Russia is with Iran," he said. Putin showed he wouldn't be pressed into speeding up completion of the $1 billion contract to build Bushehr. Putin's careful stance on completing the Russian-built Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran suggested the Kremlin is seeking to preserve solid ties with Tehran without angering the West. At the same time, Putin — on the first trip to Iran by a Kremlin leader since Josef Stalin visited in 1943 for talks with Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II — said Moscow wouldn't back down on its obligation to finish the plant. "Russia has clearly stated that it's going to complete this work," Putin said. "We are not renouncing this obligation." Russia has warned that the Bushehr plant would not go on line this fall as originally planned, saying Iran was slow in making payments. Iranian officials have angrily denied being behind in its payments and accuse the Kremlin of caving in to Western pressure. Moscow also has ignored Iranian demands to ship nuclear reactor fuel for the plant, saying it would be delivered only six months before the Bushehr plant begins operation. The launch date has been delayed indefinitely amid the payment dispute. to "carry out research and can use nuclear energy for peaceful means without discrimination." Putin said the two sides were negotiating revisions to the Bushehr contract, and once agreed a decision on fuel can be made. The Caspian leaders offered a degree of support for the Iranian nuclear program, stressing in their joint statement that any country like Iran which has signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty has the right Putin underlined his disagreements with Washington on Iran last week, saying he had seen no "objective data" showing Tehran is trying to construct nuclear weapons. Iran says it need enriched uranium to fuel nuclear reactors that will generate electricity. The main issue before the summit was the Caspian Sea itself. Divvying up territory in and around the inland sea — believed to contain the world's third-largest reserves of oil and natural gas — has been a divisive issue among the five nations, and the leaders showed no signs of progress toward resolving the dispute. "All issues related to the Caspian should be settled exclusively by littoral nations," Ahmadinejad said. The Caspian's offshore borders have been in limbo since the 1991 Soviet collapse. The lack of agreement has led to tensions and conflicts over oil deposits, but Putin and Ahmadinejad strongly warned outside powers to stay away from the region. Putin argued that all pipeline projects in the region should require the approval by all five Caspian nations to take effect, a view that would give each capital a veto. and European-backed efforts to build pipelines to deliver Central Asian and Caspian oil and gas to the West by bypassing Russia, through which all the region's pipelines now flow. Russia has pushed for new pipelines to cross its territory as well. Moscow strongly opposes U.S. "Projects which may inflict a serious damage to the Caspian environment can't be and mustn't be implemented without a preliminary discussion by the Caspian five and making a consensus decision in the interests of our common sea," Putin said. But the idea was barely mentioned in comments by the leaders of the former Soviet republics of Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, which are striving to balance their relations with Russia, the West and Asia.

"If they come I'll have candy, just in case." McClusky said BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Katherine Loeck/KANSAN A black Ford Explorer slowed to a stop at the intersection of 12th and Tennessee streets. European techno blared out the windows, but the passengers weren't focused on the music or the road. "Whoooo," a girl yelled from the car. "That's so cool." Their attention shifted to the glimmering, orange light shining from the house on their right."The Halloween House." Kacie McClusky and Katherine Moore, Overland Park sophomores, showed their love for Halloween by decking out their house with $300 worth of Halloween decorations. So what causes the orange glimmer? Katherine Lnack/KANSAN Jack o'lanterns glow at the elaborately decorated home of Katherine Moore and Kacie McClusky. Overland Park parkhomophores. Thirteen light-up jack-o'-lanterns sit on top of McClusky and Moore's roof in the middle of 22 strands of orange lights. On the deck below the roof, a spider web complete with a fake, scary spider and a light-up "Happy Halloween" sign complements an axe standing next to a door covered with bloody palm prints. But the web, lights and jack-o'lanterns aren't the main attractions. That would be the 8-foot-tall inflatable grim reaper that holds its hand out like it's waving to the neighborhood. The students' decorating plans started when Moore took a trip down the Halloween aisle of a store. She returned home with 13 fake jack-o-'lanterns and an idea to turn their house into Halloween heaven. "Halloween rules." McClusky said. "I always thought of Halloween as being with your friends and just a big party. You can go all out." By the end of September, Moore and McClusky had spent around $300 on Halloween decorations. They searched for supplies at several locations — Target, Michael's, JoAnn's and Wal-Mart. "We pretty much figured we're in college, and we live in a pink and yellow house," McClusky said. "When we're adults in suburbs, everyone will be all conservative, and we'd never be able to do this. So we thought, 'Why not now? Let's have fun.'" The neighbors are having fun, too. People have yelled to them about their "awesome decorations" and applauded from their cars. One time, a family stood in front of their "They're fun," said next-door neighbor Kyle Evans. "They made Halloween the new Christmas." house and stared at the decorations. And this is just year one. Moore and McClusky have big plans for the future. They want to decorate for other holidays such as Christmas, St. Patrick's Day and Easter. "It's just going to get more excessive as the years go by," Moore said. Of course, Halloween will still be their priority. Edited by Kaitlyn Syrina THE GRADUATE DEGREE WAS A MUST FOR EVERY STUDENT. Paying for college has never been easier.

Johnson County prosecutor Phill Kline charged the clinic with 23 felony counts and 84 misdemeanor counts, according to court records. Besides 29 misdemeanor counts of providing unlawful late-term abortions, the clinic is charged with multiple counts of making a false writing, failure to maintain records and failure to determine viability. Case documents have been sealed, according to a court order. The first hearing has been set for Nov.16. Kline's office did not immediately comment on the charges presented. Peter Brownlie, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, said Wednesday that the group hasn't had any contact with the district attorney's office but has heard rumors for months that Kline, an abortion opponent, was planning to file criminal charges. As for allegations that Planned Parenthood performed illegal late-term abortions, Brownlie said its clinic doesn't perform any past the 22nd week of pregnancy. "I've heard nothing at all about specific charges that have been filed," Brownlie said in a telephone interview. "We always provide high-quality care in full accord with state and federal law." Attorney General Paul Morrison previously reviewed all of the allegations upon which Kline's criminal charges are based and found no wrongdoing, Morrison spokeswoman Ashley Anstaett said.

Ten of his teammates circle around mid-court as the ball goes up, signifying the first practice of the season. All Rush can do is watch. He chats with his coach for a while, and his smile turns into a laugh. He's doing some coaching of his own. "I just subbed a few people in and out and told Rio to keep shooting," Rush said afterwards. Self soon leaves Rush's side to sit on the opposite bench. The smile is still on Rush's face, but it isn't a content smile. Look at the scar on his knee, and you'll find out why. The scar is from his ACL injury and surgery. It made him pull out of the NBA Draft, and it's making him sit on the bench right now. But Rush, a junior guard, tells curious media nearly every day he'll be fine. He's dealt with other scars before. Not physical ones; scars on his reputation. The scar of living up to the expectations set by two older brothers. He healed that one fine. The scar of an unwarranted reputation for being lazy, being a team cancer. That one's NBA after this year The odds of Brandon Rush coming back for a senior year are very small. Kansas coach Bill Self has already accepted this reality. "Nobody's thinking that he is, including me, including him,"Self said. "What has to happen for that to occur is that he needs to get back healthy, and that's why he's worked so hard to get healthy. He knows that he would not be here now if not for the injury so why should we expect him to play for two more years? If he does what he's capable of doing and hopefully he will, we'll win a lot of games and he'll help his status." gone too. Now he has to heal this final physical scar. Rush has a season to silence the doubts by fixing the flaws in his game, becoming the go-to guy fans demand and proving himself worthy of a first round pick in the NBA Draft again. FAMILY BUSINESS Before Rush graduated elementary school, his brothers were already high school basketball legends. JaRon and Kareem Rush became Kansas City, Mo's favorite basketball duo at Pembroke Hill High School. JaRon had the athleticism. He once shattered a backboard after a dunk in the state playoffs. Kareem was the shooter. His left-handed stroke was deadly from nearly anywhere on the court. They led Pembroke Hill to two consecutive state championships. Kareem won another his senior year after JaRon graduated. Then it all crashed down. In 1999, JaRon's sophomore year at UCLA and Kareem's freshman year at Missouri, Amateur Athletic Union coach Myron Piggie was accused of giving money to several of his players including jaRon and Kareem. The state championships were gone. The Rush legacy was tarnished. Brandon stepped into their shadow when he entered high school in 2000. They were Kansas City legends for their on-court excellence and off-court imperfections. Brandon had to play the same kind of game, but make different decisions. That's pressure. "Being JaRon and Kareem's little brother," Brandon said, "it was always. I have to be better than they are or at least where they are at. I just played my type of game. I didn't listen to what people had to say." SEE RUSH ON PAGE 8B KANSAS 25 Anna Faltermier/KANSAN Junior Brandon Rush has overcome challenges such as expectations of meeting his brothers' talents, proving negative reputations to be wrong, and most recently, an ACL injury.

The top teams from six BCS conferences and the two highest ranked teams who are not conference champions would be rewarded with a bye week. The rest of the teams would be placed in games where the highest BCS ranked teams compete against the lowest ranked BCS teams. The tournament would last five weeks, during which the winner would be crowned the champion. National Champion Bowl Championship Series fails to crown undisputed champion This season's first Bowl Championship Series rankings came out this week. And along with them came the annual controversy over these rankings that decide which teams should play in which postseason game, the Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl or Fiesta Bowl. If the season ended today, the "National Championship" game would feature Ohio State (Big Ten Champion and BCS No. 1) and South Florida (Big East Champion and BCS No. 2). The other top teams in the BCS rankings — conference champions from the remaining four of six BCS conferences: Boston College, of the ACC, South Carolina, of the SEC, Kansas, of the Big 12, Arizona State BY BRYAN WHEELER BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM of the Pac 10—would play in other BCS bowls. LSU, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and West Virginia would receive invitations to these games, too. Rather than deal with the annual BCS controversy of who should play for the "National Championship", there is a much better use of the BCS rankings: a tournament. Division 1-FBS football needs to get rid of the series of postseason games called bowls. For years, Division 1-FBS has been the only division of college football, or of any college sport for that matter, that doesn't use a tournament to decide who the champion is. Through the BCS rankings, college football should properly seed the top teams in the country for a tournament. To avoid confusion, BCS should be renamed the TCS rankings, for "Tournament Championship Series" The tournament would have 24 teams, eight of which would have a bye week. The champions of the six BCS conferences would receive a bye instead of a BCS game. This would leave the door open for two other at-large teams to receive a bye too. The remaining 16 teams would start games a week before the top eight. There have been complaints that adding a tournament would make the college football season too long. Given the fact that bowl games start Dec. 20 this year, a 24-team tournament would only be two weeks longer than the current bowl season. And if the NCAA would get rid of the extra game they added to the regular season a few years ago, changing every team's schedule back to 11 games, it would only be a week longer. As for the other teams left out of the tournament, they would be placed in a second-tier, 24-team tournament, similar to the NIT in college basketball. Right now, 64 teams get to go to bowl games, which would mean 16 bowl-eligible teams would be left out of post-season contention. The best response to that is, does anyone really think Rice (7-5), East Carolina (7-5), or Northern Illinois (7-5) should have gone to bowl games in 2006? Their opponents reflected that they did not, outscoring the three teams 102-31.

America defeated Switzerland 1-0. NCAA FOOTBALL Missouri quarterback key to team's sixth victory Missouri figures to need a pile of points to beat Texas Tech this week. The Tigers have the right man for the job. Quarterback Chase Daniel has passed for 300 or more yards in eight of his last nine games, missing a clean sweep by 6 yards against Illinois State. He's fifth in the nation in total offense, spearheading a program that averages 40 points and leads the nation in third-down conversions. And he racks up the scores against the country's best teams as well as the weak touches, producing 31 points in defeat last week at Oklahoma and ringing up five touchdown passes at Ole Miss. Daniel joked earlier this week that No. 15 Missouri and No. 22 Texas Tech (6-1, 2-1 Big 12) could combine for 120 or 130 points, while relishing the role he might play trading touchdowns with the Red Raiders' Graham Harrell, who leads the nation in total offense and leads a team averaging 50 points. Both quarterbacks are in the running for the O'Brien Award. "It will be a fun game," Daniel said. "Our defense faces us every day in practice, so we're a top-ranked team passing the ball. They're probably 1 or 2, but it should be a fun show." The Brad Smith years were something at Missouri. He left with 69 school, Big 12 and NCAA game, season and career records. Daniel, then, is something else. Last year when he took over for Smith — often a one-man show — coach Gary Pinkel liked to say the offense would now be in the hands of a quarterback who would distribute the ball.

"The key thing is you got to have one of them that's a good rebounder and can defend the other team's three-man, and Russell can do that. He's tough enough, he can do that." Not surprisingly, Texas Tech coach Bob Knight provided the funniest moments of the day. Knight spent the greater part Knight Speak of his 10 minutes in front of the media discussing the American League Championship Series, the Breeders' Cup, and whether Tony LaRussa could end up managing the Kansas City Royals. Here are a few precious Knight gems: Dorothy J. O'Neill Asked about whether the Cleveland Indians could Knight beat the Colorado Rockies in a potential World Series match-up, Knight said, "If I knew whether the Indians could beat the Rockies or not, George Bush would be asking me, 'How the hell do you get out of Iraq right now?' And on whether LaRussa could end up managing the Royals in 2008, Knight says,"I think that what LaRussa does I think will depend on what he thinks would be the best situation for him to have a team that can contend, which might leave the Royals out." Longhorns moving on Texas understands that you can't replace a once-in-a-lifetime talent like Kevin Durant, but junior A.J. Abrams is getting a little tired of the "How are you going to live without Durant?" questions. "We're kind of getting sick of it, but we know he was a big part of our team last year." Abrams said. "But we know we got guys coming back, and guys coming in this year as freshmen to help us replace him." Abrams and Augustin are the two main reason Longhorn fans won't worry too much. Abrams averaged 15.5 points per game last season, while Augustin chipped in 14.4 points per game. Texas also returns sophomore Damion James. Abrams said that James, who scored 7.6 points per game last season, would take on some of the scoring load that Durant shouldered last season. Missouri goes to work Second-year coach Mike Anderson Anderson's Missouri team returns nearly everybody from a team that finished 18-12 and 7-9 in the Big 12. So that's a positive for Anderson - sort of. "We have a lot of guys returning; he said. "That's good, and bad, because it's the same guys from last year, but at the same time hopefully they have become better basketball players." -Rustin Dodd Clarke & Wilson, LLC For help with: DARRYL ROBERTS Attorneys at Law DUI/OUI Fake ID MIP Drug Possession Battery/Domestic Battery Trespassing Public Consumption Divorce 785-832-2181 sports quote of the day "Kansas coming in undefeated coupled with us coming off a tough loss last week just adds to the fire."

T — Edited by Luke Morris Media day discussions focus on improvements BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com The first half of last year's Big 12 season couldn't have gone much worse for Kansas. Kansas started 0-9 in the conference before a 70-68 overtime victory against Colorado turned things around. The Jayhawks followed that game with four more conference wins, including a Big 12 tournament upset of Oklahoma State. That late-season surge is the reason for so much optimism around this Kansas team. On Tuesday, the players and coaches had the chance to share their hopes for the season at the Big 12 media day in Kansas City, Mo. Coach Bonnie Henrickson, accompanied by senior forward Taylor Mcintosh and sophomore guard Danielle McCray, spoke to the media about the difference in this year's team. "We have some young talent from last year that's improved, putting in the time and effort to individually improve. It will help us be a better basketball team," Henrickson said. Henrickson was forced to cut nearly half of the playbook last year because her young players couldn't remember everything. She's excited to get some of those plays back. "I do feel more comfortable and confident about how we want to play and what we might want to run," she said. She added that the team's improvement has opened more scoring options than last year, with McCray and sophomore forward Sade Morris leading the way. The team has had only a few practices, but McIntosh already likes the wide-open look of the offense. "This year we want to run and push the ball, and whoever scores, scores," McIntosh said. McCray also pointed to Morris as Schedule Date Opponent Time Date Opponent Time 11/4 Pittsburg State 4 p.m. 11/8 Emporia State 7 p.m. 11/11 Hartford 2 p.m. 11/14 UMKC 7 p.m. 11/23 Drake University (in Dallas) 5 p.m. 11/24 SMU or Western Michigan (in Dallas) TBA 11/27 Creighton 7 p.m. 12/2 St. Louis 4 p.m. 12/6 Marquette 4 p.m. 12/9 Indiana 2 p.m. 12/16 UC Riverside 7 p.m. 12/19 @San Jose State 9 p.m. 12/21 @Cal 8 p.m. 12/30 Boston University 2 p.m. an offensive threat. "Sade has been playing really well," McCray said. "She's more confident than ever before." As for that feeling of success at the end of last year, the players haven't let it slip from their minds. "Knowing the good things that we've done pushes us and motivates us to not fall back down," McCray said. "We just need to start from the end of last season." The Jayhawks' strong finish didn't do much to convince the Big 12 coaches that they are for real. Kansas was picked to finish 10th in the conference this year. "It is what it is. There's nothing I can do to control that," Henrickson said. "Would I have picked us there? No." What Kansas can control is where it finishes the year, and the Jayhawks plan on turning a few heads along the way. NFL Edited by Luke Morris Rams stay hopeful despite 0-6 record ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Randy McMichael looked around the huddle in practice Wednesday and Marc Bulger, Steven Jackson and Isaac Bruce looked right back at the tight end. The St. Louis Rams are still winless, but finally there was a ray of sunshine. "It's been a frustrating year, all the losing, and it seems like you're always losing a teammate," McMichael said. "We lose teammates for weeks at a time, so it will make you a little happy to see some of your guys back out there." a team. We're adding players, slowly but surely." Bulger is back after missing two games with two broken ribs, a pair of losses in which backup Gus Frerotte threw eight interceptions. Jackson and Bruce were limited in practice after missing two games each, with Bruce a better bet to return this week at Seattle. Coach Scott Linehan said Jackson, recovering from a partially torn groin, had an "outside chance" of returning to the lineup. "He's starting to show signs of returning," Linehan said. "It's very encouraging, we talked about it as St. Louis (0-6) has been hit hardest on offense, with backup center Andy McCollum likely to become the 23rd starter. The starter, Brett Romberg, did not practice Wednesday and could miss this game with a sprained ankle although Linehan doesn't expect him to be out of action for very long. “There’s only so much bad luck one team can have,” McMichael said. “I really don't think I've seen injuries hit a team like it's hit us every week." Still, McMichael prefers to be optimistic. He said he wasn't alone during a spirited practice that could have been dismal given the circumstances. "The guys were all amped up and everybody was working hard and you could tell the crispiness," McMichael said. "It was like everybody felt like we were 0-0 and we were starting our season from this game."

Kansas can put itself on the Big 12 North with a victory Saturday in Boulder. KANSAN FILE PHOTO BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Colorado coach Dan Hawkins put permanent infamy next to his name during the off-season by lashing out in a press conference and screaming, "It's Division-One football. It's the Big 12." Perhaps Hawkins will have a chance to shout his now-famous words for a different reason Saturday when Colorado hosts Kansas. He might yell it out of excitement because the match-up has the potential to catapult his team to first place in the Big 12 North division. Kansas sits atop the Big 12 North standings as the only unbeaten team, and Colorado is in a three-way tie for a second. Although Hawkins typically doesn't like to deem one game more important than the next, he realizes the implications of Saturday's contest at Folsom Field. "They are all important." Hawkins said. "There are a lot of burners coming down the stretch. We didn't take care of business last week, and anytime you do that you put more emphasis on getting it done the next week." That the game in Boulder, Colo. means so much is very surprising when looking back on last year's game between the two teams in Lawrence. The Jayhawks had dropped four consecutive games, and the Buffaloes had won only one of their first eight. It had little to no significance. At least, it didn't appear to at the time. But a year later, Hawkins sees why the 2006 game was important. He remembers how then-freshman quarterback Todd Reeing came off the Jayhawk bench and rallied his team to a comeback victory in the second half. Colorado's season so far schedule "Of course, last year he had his coming-out party against us," Hawkins said. "I think last year, in the game against us, he was more of a runner, and he wasn't as much of a passer as he is this year." Date Opponent Result 09/01 Colo St W 31-28 09/08 at Arizona St L 33-14 09/15 Florida St L 16-6 09/22 Miami (OH) W 42-0 09/29 Oklahoma W 27-24 10/06 at Baylor W 43-23 10/13 at Kansas St L 47-20 Reeing threw for two touchdowns and ran for one more against Colorado, his first appearance at the collegiate level. Less than a year later, Reeing is 14th in the nation in passing efficiency and has provided stability at a position where Kansas never could for the past two years. Colorado. But in 2007, Dan Hawkins turned to someone he was comfortable with — his son. Redshirt freshman Cody Hawkins has been efficient marching the Buffalo offense down the field. Much like Dan Hawkins praised Todd Reesing, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he was impressed by Cody Hawkins. The situation is similar for the Buffaloes. The absence of a competent player under center last year caused offensive distress for "Cody Hawkins, you can see each and every week as you watch the tape that game-by game, he is getting better," Mangino said. "He is poised, he makes plays, he is a smart plaver." Poise is the young quarterback's best virtue. He's engineered comeback wins against Colorado State and Oklahoma by staying calm and stepping up in the pocket like a seasoned veteran. Kansas and Colorado were both picked to finish in the bottom half of the Big 12 North division standings this season. But Saturday, the two programs will play for first. Good discipline gives Kansas extra momentum FOOTBALL —Edited by Chris Beattie BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Since spring practices, Mangino has praised his team's discipline, using terms like "mental edge" and "football aptitude" to describe the difference between the 2007 team and his past teams. The offensive line, the source of penalty problems for many programs, has been one Kansas has committed 22 penalties this season so far, which is the NCAA low. The team's average of 3.67 penalties per game is the second best in the nation. In fact, Kansas has drawn just one third as many flags as the nation's most penalized team, Cincinnati, has. Referees across the country should be lining up to apply for the right to work Kansas football games, because a Saturday spent officiating the Jayhawks is like a paid vacation - the team doesn't commit many penalties. "We tell our kids all the time to use their poise and do things in the proper way, because one penalty can kill a drive," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "We've been pretty good so far, and we need to maintain it." of the jayhawks' most rule-abiding units. Holding penalties, false starts and delay-of-game violations have not heavily taxed Kansas at any point this season. The Jayhawks have benefitted from the momentum swing that comes along with a penalty on several occasions this season. In the third game, Toledo committed a false start on fourth-and-one in the first quarter, forcing a punt. Kansas scored 51 seconds later. In the third quarter of the same game, Toledo faced a fourth-and-four near midfield and elected to go for a first down. After another false start penalty, the Rockets had to punit the ball away. Though penalties can often seem unimportant at the time, they tend to add up. So far in 2007, Kansas has lost 225 yards to penalties and its opponents have lost 320, essentially giving the lajhwacks 95 free "It really shows how hard those guys have worked and how focused they are during the games," sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said. "The fact that we're not getting a lot of penalties is huge because penalties are big momentum-changers that can kill an offensive drive really fast." The fact that Kansas has played in front of a tame Memorial Stadium crowd in five of its first six games stands out as a possible reason for the low penalty total. But the team handled the hostile din of Bill Snyder Family Stadium with ease two weeks ago, drawing just three flags, although two of them helped keep KSU drives alive. The team's discipline will be tested this weekend at Colorado's Folsom Field, capacity 53,750. yards for displaying good behavior. 1. Kansas 22 2. Iowa State 23 3. Navy 25 t4. West Virginia 26 t4.

MAXIM "YOU'LL LOVE IT!" >> NHL Thrashers coach fired after losing streak BY CHARLES ODUM ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — A six-game losing streak to start this season put Bob Hartley's job in danger. A quick ouster in last season's playoffs did not help his cause. Hartley was fired Wednesday as coach of the Atlanta Thrashers, the only NHL team without a victory. General manager Don Waddell will coach the team until a replacement Waddell said the Thrasher们 were playing as if they have not recovered from losing four straight games to the New York Rangers in the first round of the playoffs last season. is found. "The emotions were so high last year going into the playoffs and we went out quickly and to be honest I don't know if we've recovered from that yet," Waddell said. "If you look we've lost 10 games in a row now, including the last four last year." Waddell said he has no timetable for a hiring and indicated he may look for a coach who is less intense than Hartley. "Maybe we've got to back off a little bit and let the players have some fun in the game," Waddell said. That's where I believe a change has to be made" Spicy Red Wine Sauce!!

Q. Q. Your sons obviously had you to look up to you to get into baseball, but who were some of your inspirations to get into the game? A. A. At an early age it was my dad. My dad was a high school coach, both my uncles were high school coaches and my grandfather coached an American Legion team when I was growing up. I pretty much grew up on the baseball field. Once I got into playing, my junior college coach, Dick McLean, was my role model for how to coach players and how IM GOD WE TRUST UNITED STATES 2001 D PIPE LANDING to relate to players. Q. Q. So with all that baseball heritage, did your sons really have a choice as to what sport they played? A. I've been really lucky. I raised three boys who could play in the Big 12, and I've never once made those guys go to the field and practice. They've pretty much grown up playing Wiffle Ball from the time they could walk. I feel very fortunate that all three of them have a passion for the game. A. Q. Q. Did you ever have any superstitions as a player? A. A. Are you kidding me? If I got a base hit walking a certain way up to the batter's box, I walked the same way. If I made an out, I walked a different way the next time. I might be one of the most hyper-superstitious guys in America, there's no doubt about that. If I see a penny when I'm jogging on game days, I stop and pick it up for good luck. Q. Any other superstitions you have now as a coach? A. A. I don't step on the lines when I go across the field. Whatever we've done the day before that works, I try to repeat that the next day and use that as a good luck charm. That's one of the interesting things about athletics. The more you play and the longer you're in the game, the more superstitious you do get because there's such a fine line between winning and losing and we're all trying not to put a jinx on ourselves. NY Q. Growing up on the West Coast, which team did you follow? A. I've been a Giants fan my whole life. I grew up listening to Willie Mays on the radio and when they finally started putting games on TV and we moved to Oregon, that's all we got. We got the Giants before the Pilots and then the Mariners came to Seattle. A. SF Q. Who are some of your favorite players? Q. favorite A. A. I'm a huge Willie Mays fan. I thought he was the greatest player I'd ever seen play growing up. As I've gotten into coaching, I'm a huge fan of Ryne Sandberg for how professional he is, and Cal Ripken Jr. for his respect for the game, and Tony Gwynn is another guy I have phenomenal respect for. I named my middle son after Ryne Sandberg. I named my youngest son after Robbie Thompson, who was a second baseman for the Giants and could really turn a double play. And I named my oldest son after my dad, who was a second baseman Student Lecture Series Poll CIRCLE THE SPEAKER YOU WANT TO SEE: Diane Sawyer Journalist Robin Roberts Journalist in the minor leagues, so all three were named after baseball players.

Student Lecture Series is an annual lecture sponsored by Student Union Activities and Student Senate. Q. Would you say Willie Mays is the best all-around player to play the game? A A. He's the greatest player I've ever seen play, next to Alex Rodriguez. I now think Alex Rodriguez is the greatest player of his generation as well. Q. Speaking of the Giants, what do you think of Barry Bonds and everything that went on with him over the summer? 85 A A. He's had an incredible run in San Francisco. The fans and the organization have been incredibly loyal to him. He actually helped build the stadium. There was a time the Giants were talking about moving when they were in Candlestick Park. To see that ballpark now, which may be the very best in baseball, it's a tribute to him. They talk about Yankee Stadium being the house that Ruth built, well Barry Bonds built Pac Bell. I think it's time for him to leave, too. Barry's time has come and gone and it's time for the Giants to move in a different direction. end of the regular season, there's been talk about bringing instant replay to baseball. Would something like that work in baseball? It's interesting because we all watched the tag play at the plate and when (Michael) Barrett put his foot right in front of the plate and (Matt) Holliday slid in, it's obvious he didn't touch home plate. So, if they had replay, they could've overturned that play. But I think the great thing about baseball is there is that factor that the umpires make right calls and wrong calls. It's part of the game. It's been that way for over 100 years. It'd be a shame to change it. It's like the ball-strike thing, every umpire is different as you know. It's an adjustment players and pitchers have to make. I think they ought to leave it alone. O. Q. Are you in favor of the DH or do you think pitchers should bat? A A. I like the fact that the leagues are different. It adds to the intrigue and controversy of the game and it makes a difference between the leagues. I think it's a good thing. Being a college guy, we hit for our pitchers and we have to hit for our pitchers because most of them are just awful. A. or you thin Q. What do you think about Interleague play? A. I love it. It breaks up the monotony of the teams playing each other too much. You look at the rivalries you can get, like when the Royals and Cardinals play, and that never happened before Interleague play. In California, we get the Giants and the As going across the Bay Bridge to play and the Subway Series in New York. It's been a gold mine for baseball. Q. With what happened during the Rockies-Padres game at the O. Q. In the college game, do you like metal bats, or do you think they should use wood? A. A. With the fact that our players are still learning to play the game properly, the metal bat makes the game a lot more fun to watch. I go out and watch my kids play in the summer time with wood bats and the scores are 2-1 and 3-2. The purists say that's how the game should Swipe 'n' go with Beak Em Bucks!

I personally think it's like watching a football game that's 7-3. I think it's boring. I like to see runs put on the board and see the ball hit out of the ballpark. I think it's a good thing for college baseball. THE 37 NATIONAL LEAGUES MICHAEL BENZIS WITH EDITIONS BY SANDRA M. WOODS A Q. What do you think of base ball coaches wearing uniforms? A. Well, there's a lot of us that look really bad. There's no doubt about that. You look at some of the coaches and it's almost embarrassing how out of shape that they are. It's probably too bad that they can't wear polo shirts, wind jackets and shorts. They'd probably look a little more professional on the field. Q. A. Q. I noticed you have "Moneyball" by Michael Lewis on your bookshelf. What do you think about baseball philosophers like Billy Beane and Bill James? A. A lot of it's really interesting. I think Bill James has been good for the game. I think "Moneyball" was good for the game because it questioned the way some things were being done. I also think there's a lot of things in the book that aren't true. You can sit and analyze data in baseball and the great thing is, you can argue with half the stats "Moneyball" has. I do think the game is won with home runs. It's won with two-base hits and home runs. Those playoff games are won when you face the best pitchers in the game and the best pitchers don't walk guys. But, it was very, very good for the game. MENLO COLLEGE ESTABLISHED 1927 Q. And, my last question for you: I noticed in your bio you were an assistant football coach at Menlo College. What was that like? A. I was 27 years old when I got the job at Menlo College, and it was a really good experience. The great thing it did for me was, I was fortunate enough to get a head high school job right out of college, so I was like three years ahead of the process when I got out of school, but I'd never been an assistant. It gave me a chance to be an assistant coach and the best thing I got out of it was the organization. Head football coaches do that better than anybody as far as how to organize practices and stay on time and use time management. It helped me in those regards, and I liked it. I liked it a lot.

Calif. Monday and Tuesday. This marks the second consecutive last place finish for Koelbel 10 the Jayhawks. First-year coach Kit Grove gave his take on today's result in a press release. "As a team we are making steps in the right direction, but we are still frustrated with the overall result," Grove said. Placing last in the past two tournaments may propose a grim future, but the Jayhawks made personal gains this tournament. Junior Walt Koelbel shot three under par in the final round of the Prestige, his second under-par round of the season. Koelbel added to his great day on the Greg Norman Course by finishing tied for 19th, his second top-20 finish of the season. Freshman Brad Hopfinger followed Koelbel in the rankings finishing tied for 23rd. Hopfinger's total three-day score was his lowest tournament score of his young career. Although Hopfinger placed in the top 25, he did show signs of being a freshman. Hopfinger went into the final round tied for 20th but missed the opportunity to crack the top 20 in a tournament and beat a career-high finish of 22nd. He did get his coach's attention after day one. "I was really happy with how Brad played as a true freshman," Grove said in a statement after day one at the Prestige. Junior Zach Pederson, sophomore Bobby Knowles and senior Joey Mundy followed Hoffinger and Koelbel in the standings, all placing behind 70th. The layhawks did not move in the tournament standings from day one. Charlotte finished on top at the Prestige taking the team title. Minnesota's Clayton Rask and Wisconsin's Dan Wolton tied with eight under par to take the individual title.

Kansas 304 298 295 897 >> NFL Holmes completes first practice BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Priest Holmes went through a full practice Wednesday, a giant step toward what could be turning into one of the NFLs great comebacks. Now 34 and out of football since suffering neck and spinal injuries two years ago, Holmes was cleared to practice for the first time since he shocked the Chiefs last summer and showed up at training camp. He's been working out diligently and trimming away the 15 or so pounds he gained while staying home the previous 22 months, hardly going near a football field. Now, he says, he's ready to resume a career that took him to three Pro Bowls and made him one of the league's most productive backs before the injury that just about everyone assumed ended his career. "One of the things I can take from practice is I still have a lot in me," he said. "That was one of the surprising things not so much for the team to see, but also for myself to see, how well I performed." touchdowns. He acknowledged he's not yet the athlete who had almost 6,000 yards rushing and 2,360 yards receiving from 2001-06, and in 2003 scored a then-NFL record 27 "There were a few things that took me by surprise," he said. "There was one play where they sent two line-backers in on me and ... my awareness wasn't there initially. I'm seeing two guys coming at me. Which one do I take? And the better one gets a good hit on me. But I stood in there, I got hit pretty hard. But I bounced back and got ready to play the next snap." ASSOCIATED PRESS 31 Coach Herm Edwards admits he never expected to see Holmes in uniform again. For one thing, the injury he sustained in San Diego in October 2005 was not merely career-threatening. It was possibly life-altering because doctors feared a risk of further spinal injury. Kansas City Chiefs running back Priest Holmes practices Wednesday at the indoor football facility in Kansas City, Mo. By now, Edwards says, nothing about the enigmatic running back would shock him. "What's surprising was when he decided not to retire and said he was coming back. That surprised me," Edwards said Wednesday. "But once he showed up, nothing else surprised me about the guy. He has great focus on what he wants to do. He wanted to attempt to come back. A lot of people probably anticipated that he would check out before now. But he didn't." Edwards said he still did not know if Holmes would be activated for this week's game at Oakland — or, for that matter, ever. "We'll see how he feels tomorrow. That's the whole key now, how is he going to feel tomorrow? And then the next day? Where is he going to be the next couple of days?" NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma.

O'Neil said that although the team did not get the final result it wanted, she was satisfied with the result and the progress it represents for the program.

Thiry and Bal finished with identical scores to tie for 23rd at 13-over par, Giangrosso shot 14- over par to finish tied for 29th, and Wilson was only four strokes behind her, finishing in a tie for 47th. For Kansas women's golf coach Erin O'Neil, the team's third toppive finish in four tries is an encouraging sign of what could come from her talented group. While Powers carded the best finish among Kansas golfers, senior Annie Giangrosso and freshmen Grace Thiry, Meghna Bal and Sydney Wilson did their part to ensure a second-straight finish in the top-five. O'Neil said the only thing holding young players like Thiry, Bal and Wilson back from the top-five finishes they were capable of was unnecessary shots. Despite their lack of experience, she said the poise they gained would be invaluable during the spring and the years "I think it really helps them with their confidence. That's the main thing." O'Neill said. "They can see that they can do do that on a consistent basis, and at the same time, I think they know that they can still improve and get better. I've been talking to them and trying to help them realize that the difference between being top five and where they are is basically around the greens." Kansas finished tied for fourth out of 16 teams at the Price's "Give 'Em Five" Invitational in Las Cruces, N.M., on Tuesday. The team used consistent play and a steady mindset to better tricky wind conditions and a strong field. The top-five finish represents a marked improvement from last season's disappointing 12th-place finish in the same event. to come. "I think that they are starting to see what they can do," she said. "They are really close to breaking through and winning another tournament." Regardless of the progress Kansas made so far this spring, it will face its toughest test of the fall when it travels to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to compete in the UA-Ann Rhoads Intercollegiate on Oct. 26-28, O'Neil said the team would need to continue to use a steady mindset to keep up the streak of top-five performances. "I think that's the biggest thing for a team as young as we are, just not to get ahead of ourselves and stay in the moment," she said. Sophomore Emily Powers led the team once again by finishing tied for eighth, trailing winner Chelsea Stelzmiller of UC Davis by only four strokes. Powers said the team was disappointed not to come away with a second-straight title but attributed its consistent play to the positive attitude O'Neil preached. For now, Kansas can enjoy another solid performance from its group of talented underclassmen. But not for long. Powers said the group had loftier ambitions for its final tournament of the fall. With that kind of attitude, winning will always be a possibility. "We are all happy but we are all going to go back out and practice and hopefully do better at the next one," she said. just played real steady and hung in there." — Edited by Rachel Bock HOW MY BY John Volk, creative writing major PARENTS MET PART 1 OF A 5- PART SERIES If there is anything more frigid than winter in the Black Hills, it is in coolers kept well below freezing in order to preserve various specimens. These specimens, delivered to Rapid City Regional Hospital in Rapid City, South Dakota, included arms, legs, cysts, blood, kidneys, and the like—in short, anything but the living. Some unfortunate soul inevitably had the job of delivering these. And who else could that unfortunate young man have been but my future father? And the intern at the hospital's lab, where, by law a pathologist had to analyze anything removed from bodies, was, as fate would have it, my future mother. During a routine drop-off (this time a leg), the confident microbiology student in the hospital lab caught the eye of the cooler-toting delivery boy. As luck would have it, a snowstorm swept down outside and consequently my father could not leave. Of course, he also had an excuse to talk with the pretty intern. So, my parents struck up their first lively conversation, albeit discussing dead things. Naturally, there was a spark. And when the snow outside eventually let up, my father decided to try to drive to his next delivery, asking the intern to wish him good luck. "Well, break a leg," she said.

He bounced through three Kansas City-area high schools before he finally found his niche at Mt. Zion Christian Academy, a basketball powerhouse in North Carolina. His game improved away from the pressures of home. Recruiting experts took notice. They saw JaRon's athleticism and Kareem's jump shot in Brandon. They saw a player who had an all-around game, evident by his averages of 21 points, six rebounds and five assists per game his senior year. Brandon left high school ranked as the 13th best prospect in the country. Perhaps more importantly, his high school career didn't include tales of shoeboxes full of dollar bills and questionable AAU coaches. "He saw the mistakes JaRon made," said Jeanette Jacobs, Rush's grandmother. "He didn't want to make the same ones." SILENCING THE WHISPERS Brandon surprised no one when he entered the NBA Draft in the spring of 2005. Hed talked about going pro since his junior year of high school ended. Heck, he didn't even visit a college campus his senior year. visit a college campus his senior year. But it was a surprise when he withdrew his name. All of a sudden, college was his top option. He chose Kansas and enrolled shortly after school started that August. KU fans should've been pumped: an NBA prospect had landed in their laps at the last second. They weren't. Lawrence is a short drive from Kansas City, short enough that everyone was familiar with the Rush family. Fans remembered how JaRon criticized former Kansas coach Roy Williams' playing style. They knew about Myron Piggie and assumed Brandon was no different from his brothers. He heard the whispers. "Lazy" and "stupid," that's what they called him. He took it to heart. "I wanted to prove to people they were wrong." Brandon said. "I had to prove to them I was able to do the work and stay in college." He proved it by leading the team in scoring his freshman year and becoming the first freshman named to The All-Big 12 first team. He won all the individual honors again his sophomore season — All Big 12, Wooden All American — and helped lead the team to regular and postseason Big 12 titles and a spot in the Elite Eight. The Elite Eight berth probably wouldn't have been possible without him. Something clicked during a Sweet 16 game against Southern Illinois. He drove to the hoop with an attitude, a killer instinct. With less than a minute in the game, he dribbled toward the basket, leaned and banked a shot off the glass. It was the final basket of Kansas' 61-58 victory. He shot 6-for-6 and finished with five rebounds and five assists. Brandon had proven himself as a capable team player during his two years. He had also shown fans they were wrong to think held be a cancer. He did fine in school — he even had a 3.6 GPA one semester — and never made off-court mistakes. "With me," JaRon said, "I got in a bit of trouble and he learned. He's a very quiet, funny guy. He taught me how to act cool." ONE MORE ROAD TO CROSS Brandon dribbled into the lane for a dunk during a pick up game The NBA dream hed been chasing since high school was lying right in front of him. ESPN analyst Jay Bilas listed him as a top 20 prospect. Brandon had it made. in May like held done hundreds of times before. As he sailed through the air, his life couldn't have been much better. He came down from his leap. He heard a pop — his ACL. The NBA dream was gone. It had been replaced with another scar. Brandon showed he was different than his brothers and silenced critics who thought he'd disrupt chemistry at Kansas, but healing this one could be harder. "It's so much different," Rush said. "People are wondering if I can be OK to play, if I'm going to be the old Brandon I used to be." That's why he committed himself to rehabbing his knee during the summer and improving the weaknesses in his game. He dribbed tennis balls to better his suspect left hand and practiced stationary shooting. He also wants to take it to the rim more this year to draw foults. Self said the injury should turn his player into a "new Brandon." He might not be as athletic as he was last year, but Self is confident he'll learn new techniques to compensate. "They say Jordan got better when he was less athletic," Self said. "He was such a great athlete early, but he became a better basketball player later in his career. I think Brandon is going to be a better basketball player." It wouldn't hurt if Michael Jordan's winning mentality rubbed off on Rush as well. Fans have always complained Rush didn't crave the ball enough during crucial moments. For Brandon to come all the way back, he'll have to demand the ball at the end of important games like he did against Southern Illinois. "He always had attitude," senior forward Darnell Jackson said. "He's going to be a great factor for us because he can shoot, and because he's been working since he's been out. When we need Brandon to step up big, he'll step up for us." The Late Night scrimmage ends, and Brandon walks off the court with his teammates. He's the only 'A LITTLE BIT OF PRESSURE' one not dripping with sweat. That scene will probably be a familiar one for the first month of the season. He probably won't be able to play basketball again until about Dec. 1, but he should be able to go full speed except for contact drills in two weeks. After changing with the team, Brandon leaves the locker room to talk with the media. A writer from ESPN interviews him. The entire nation wants to know how he will return from the injury, if he'll be able to heal from this scar, if he'll be the old Brandon and be a new, better one at the same time. "I feel a little bit of pressure but anybody would feel a little bit after surgery on a knee," Brandon said. "I'm worried about getting hurt again and just not being able to help the team win, but I don't think it will affect my play. I have to come in there with a free mind and know what my knee can handle." Judging by how he handled the earlier scars in his life, he should be fine. Edited by Rachel Bock Brandon Rush injures his knee playing pickup basketball. The injury is diagnosed as an ACL tear. May 23 Rush undergoes successful surgery and begins rehab soon after. Summer workouts include ballhandling and shooting drills. June 1 Rush starts running. A few weeks later, he can sprint and iump. Early August PGA Strong finish helps Cabrera win extra-hole Grand Slam TUCKER'S TOWN, Bermuda U.S. Open champion Angel Cabrera overcame an atrocious start with a spectacular finish Wednesday to win the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, outlasting Padraig Harrington in a playoff. Cabrera recovered from a triple bogey on the open hole that put him five shots back from the lead with a birdie-eagle finish and close with a 2-under 68. He got into a playoff with the British Open champion at Mid-Ocean Club. A week before "Late Night in the Phog," Rush said that his knee was 70 percent and that he would participate in lay-up drills at Late Night, but Kansas coach Bill Self doesn't allow "Dr. Rush" (as he called him) to do anything except dance. It was the first time Harrington, who closed with a score of 69, had trailed all afternoon. Cabrera finally beat Harrington on the third extra hole with another booming tee shot and a 4-iron within 18 feet of the hole on the par-5 18th. Cabrera took two putts for birdie, which was all he needed when Harrington hit into a deep bunker off the tree and still had 4 feet for par when Cabrera tapped in. Cabrera finished at 4-under 136. October Jim Furyk, the replacement for PGA champion Tiger Woods, took a triple bogey on the par-5 11th hole and doomed his chances of victory, but birdies on four late holes gave him and finish third at 138. Masters champion Zach Johnson was seven shots behind with 10 holes to play and still had a chance until a bogey on the last hole made him finish another shot back. Associated Press Rush is scheduled to see a doctor again. If the appointment is successful and the rehab has gone as planned, Rush should be able to do almost everything except contact drills.

Hed be managing a team essentially being rebuilt from scratch, relying on a roster of kids from Buffalo, Akron and that baseball hotbed, Mahoning Valley. The payroll would be meager, the All-Stars were long gone and the only big-name free agents hed see were on other teams. The losses would be frequent and probably lopsided. Oh, and all of this would be for a passionate fan base hardened by decades of disappointment. A real dream job, that one. And yet Eric Wedge signed on as the Cleveland Indians' manager anyway. "I was actually excited about it," he said. "Obviously you knew what was going to be ahead. I knew it was going to take a lot of toughness from a lot of people to be able to handle that. I just tried to surround myself with the best people I could, stay as consistent as we could with the players — which is extremely important — and just stay true to the path. "And you have to be patient. You can't take shortcuts. There's no secret ingredient to doing it outside of consistency, having a plan and everybody staying on the same page." Five years after Wedge took over the Indians, they're a game away from the World Series. They lead the Boston Red Sox 3-1 in the AL championship series, with Game 5 on Thursday night at Jacobs Field. It's a remarkable yet largely unsung turnaround, and there's no telling where Cleveland would be had general manager Mark Shapiro hired anyone but Wedge. A former catcher who spent parts of four seasons in the majors with Boston and Colorado, Wedge isn't flashy or overbearing. He's straight-forward, focused and patient, and he holds tight to the lessons he learned from his parents about the value of hard work (when Wedge was introduced as Cleveland's manager, his parents missed the news conference because it was a work day). But his imprint is on every inch of the Indians clubhouse. "I was just left with the underlying sense that this guy's going to be the right partner for me," Shapiro said. "That he was going to be someone that's going to care as much as I care, work as hard as I work and, if there was any way for him to ensure that we succeeded, he was going to find that path." Indians GARKO 25 CABrera 13 ASSOCIATED PRESS Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge, second from left, meets with his team including pitcher Aaron Fultz, bending over, during the sixth inning against the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series Friday at Fenway Park in Boston. ASSOCIATED PRESS For much of the 1990s, the Indians were one of the American League's premier teams. They were division champions six times in the seventeen year span from 1995 to 2001, and won the AL pennant in both 1995 and 1997. They put up monstrous offensive numbers with players like Albert Belle, Jim Thome, David Justice and Manny Ramirez, while Bartolo Colon, Dennis Martinez and Charles Nagy kept opposing teams off-balance. "The (manager's) job that we had at that point was not a simple job of just managing the team," Shapiro said. "I needed someone to dig in, become my partner and understand more than just getting the most out of 25 players. Understand how we were going to build, what the inherent challenges were in our marketplace and that the way we were going to do it was going to be unconventional." But with a small-market payroll and few high draft picks, Cleveland was stuck in that impossible spot between contending and rebuilding. So Shapiro made the difficult decision to dismantle the Indians and rebuild around a core of young, homegrown players. Even Thome, the fan favorite and face of the franchise, left as a free agent after the 2002 season. And "Wedgie" was the perfect fit. And Wedgie was the perfect fit. Though only 34 when he was hired, he seemed — on the surface, at least — to be a no-nonsense, old-school manager. This, after all, is a Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge, center, watches the action with hitting coach Derek Shelton, left, and pitching coach Carl Willis in the third inning of Game 4 of the American League Championship Series Tuesday in Cleveland. guy who counts Bob Knight as a role model, and has a John Wayne calendar in his office. Yet he also has an uncanny ability to see what his teams and players need, and adapt. When the Indians clubhouse was full of kids, Wedge kept a tight rein, operating as if he was still in the minors. But as the team has gotten older and more mature, Wedge has mellowed, too. "These players have evolved and I've evolved right with them," said Wedge, who's also become a father since taking over the Indians. "You have to work off the team, it's not the other way around." The Indians lost 94 games in 2003, their worst season in more than a decade. Though they made a run at the top of the AL Central in 2004, it was brief and they wound up finishing below .500 again. Crowds at the once-rocking lake dwindled. Cleveland fans are a long-suffering bunch, but even they had their limits. It would have been understandable had it all worn on him, but Wedge never lost sight of the bigger picture. This was a long-term project, and developing players for Cleveland's tomorrow was every bit as important as what the Indians were doing on the field today. "Some days are better than others, but there was never a time that the consideration even came into mind to give into the fight. Ever," Wedge said. "Because if those thoughts even cross your mind, then you're already halfway beat." The perseverance paid off in 2005. Playing the best baseball of anyone in the majors, the Indians almost caught the Chicago White Sox and were still in the wild-card race on the final weekend. Though they missed the playoffs, they finished with 93 wins — an almost complete reversal from their record just two years earlier. But youngsters are unpredictable, and the Indians were no different. Expected to contend in the AL Central last year, they finished fourth thanks to an inconsistent offense, poor defense and a disastrous bullpen.

Left: Emily Brown, senior right side/setter, and Natalie Uhart, senior middle blocker, block a spike from a Baylor hitter. Kansas scrapped and gritted its way to a 2-1 lead, but the team's early match magic evaporated along with its lead as Kansas fell 3-2 (30-24, 26-30, 28-30, 30-26, 15-1) to Baylor on Wednesday night at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The loss dropped the laj Hawks to 10-10 overall and 3-7 in the Big 12 Conference, while the Bears improved to 10-10, and 3-7 in the Big 12. Discouraging and disappointing were just a few of the words coach Ray Bechard used to describe the loss. "They played a little cleaner and I think they said, 'Hey, we're What's in your digital world? att.com/digitalworld at&t in game five on the road' and I think they valued that opportunity a little more than we did and that's disappointing." Bechard said. "In the end, we desperately needed a win tonight and we couldn't get it." Kansas was plagued all game by a low hitting efficiency. The Jayhawks hit .171 as a team while Baylor hit .234. The game continued a seasonlong trend for the Jayhawks, who came into tonight with the lowest team hitting percentage in the Big 12. "You just can't let that happen, especially in the Big 12," senior setter Emily Brown said of the loss. "I don't know if we just kind of had a mentality of, 'Hey, we're playing at home, and that's just going to give us that extra edge,' but you can't rely on that in the Big 12." Brown finished the game with 14 kills, 27 assists and 14 digs in the losing effort. It was the Lausing native's third triple-double of the season. Junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart and sophomore outside hitter Flavio Lino each added 12 kills for the lavhawks. Service provided by AT&T Mobility. ©2007 AT&T Knowledge Ventures.

After splitting the first two games, Kansas gutted out a tight "In the end, we desperately needed a win tonight and we couldn't get it." RAY BECHARD Volleyball coach A resilient Kansas team fought back from an early hole to grab game two. Down 15-8, Kansas's dormant offense found the accelerator. The Jayhawks went on a 10-0 run to take an 18-15 lead, and parlayed the big run into a 30-26 victory. Emily Brown had four kills in game two, while sophomore setter Katie Martincich was active on both offense and defense with eight assists and three digs. game three, 30-28. A kill from freshman outside hitter Karina Garlington punctuated an early 5-1 Kansas run, and the Jayhawks kept the Bears at a distance throughout most of game three. But Baylor fought back twice, first tying the game at 24-24, and then again at 27-27. Brown broke the tie with a block assist, and then Uhart added a kill to clinch the game for Kansas. Kansas squandered an early 4-1 lead in game one, and dropped the opening game 30-24. After kills from Flavia Lino and Natalie Uhart helped Kansas build its early lead, the Kansas offense stalled. Kansas had 11 kills in 40 attempts for a .025 hitting percentage, while Baylor got stronger as the game continued and finished with a .297 hitting percentage. "I don't know if jumping out early in game one gave us false sense that things were going to go pretty easy tonight, but everybody knows there is no easy night in this league," Bechard said. — Edited by Luke Morris volleyball notebook UP NEXT Kansas travels to Lincoln, Neb. on Saturday to play No. 1 Nebraska.

Dole wanted to award a politician and an American hero. Civil rights activist and U.S. Congressman John Lewis will visit the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on Sunday to receive the Dole Leadership Prize. As one of the youngest leaders in the civil rights movement, Lewis participated in sit-ins, Freedom Rides and marches. In March 1965, Lewis was brutally attacked by a state trooper in the Selma to Montgomery march on a day later known as "Bloody Sunday." Lewis still works for human rights and civil liberties in the U.S. House of Representatives. Jonathan Earle, Dole Institute interim director, said if students only went to one event at the institute this year, it should be this event. Earle said Lewis was an unique American hero that could inspire students with his history.

Two years ago, I lay in my bed at 3 in the morning, unable to sleep. I tossed and turned, put a pillow over my head, positioned my fan so that it was aimed directly at my face, but all to no avail. I could still hear my upstairs neighbors having yet another party on their porch. I lived in a bottom-floor apartment of a big complex, and was unlucky enough to get neighbors who partied often and noisily. That particular night in bed fuming, I schemed up solutions: Call the cops. Report them to management. Ask them to be quiet. The third idea seemed the most congenial, so I put on my slippers and padded up the stairs. As I stood outside their door on their straw welcome mat, shivering, I realized I didn't have the gumption. I retreated, lay in bed for another hour or so listening to Bob Marley and laughter, and finally drifted off to sleep. Check out Patrick Griffith's cautionary tale about neighbors on page 7. Also be sure to bar-tie questionnaire, page 9, to avoid ticking off every bartender in town.

"I hate strawberries and bananas, but I love strawberry-banana smoothes," says Sheepar, Norton freshman, who also blends in the occasional vitamin caplet or spoonful of peanut butter. "I like to experiment with different combinations and use fruits I don't normally eat. Drinking a smoothie is easier than sitting down and eating all those foods individually." Quick, simple and minimally messy, smoothies are perfect nourishment for busy college students who might also have trouble fitting fruits into their diets. Americans slurped down $2 billion worth of smoothies from restaurants last year according to a report by the market research group MindTail. Though smoothie sippin' is healthier than other on-the-go dining options, whipping up your own blended drink at home can be even more nutritious and delicious. fruits make them appealing, but putting vegetables and herbs in your smoothies can give you more nutrients." A smoothie can fuse together so many diverse, wholesome foods that it becomes a powerful super-food, fit to battle aliments from the common cold to indigestion to anemia, Crocker says. The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion recommends two cups of fruit and two and a half to three cups of vegetables per day Never fear. You don't need to give your fridge a makeover in order to start some healthful, unconventional smoothie crafting. Crocker says adding foods that are likely already in your kitchen such as leafy greens, cinnamon or green tea can provide antioxidants or boost your immunity to certain illnesses, adding to the already high nutritional value of a smoothie. for men and women ages 19-30, according to my.mypremid.gov. "Not many students can achieve this, the Crocker says. That's why smoothies are so great, because you're getting two to three servings of fruit or veggies in every drink. One of the easiest ways to eat your fruits and vegetables is to drink them." Bailey Bosc, Birmingham, Ala sophomore, prefers drinking her doses of fruits and veggies by concocting apple and carrot smoothies. She says both foods have a sweetness that complements the other. "Usually you associate carrots with saltiness, butwhenyoujucите them they're really sweet and tasty." Boss says. Smoothies made with carrots are—"a fruit of mischief for a vegetable—are a scrumptious staple at Bosc's favorite cafe in Memphis. "They're smooth and creamy and surprisingly sweet," she says. Fruits come packed The Smoothies Bible details the health perks of smoothie standards like bananas and oranges, and also the benefits of not-so-common ingredients like almonds, beets and parsley. "Most people think of the traditional fruit smoothies out of California that were blended right on the beach," Crocker says. "Sweet PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY ANNA FALTERMEIER with natural sugar, though Delia Quigley, nutritional counselor and author of Simply Smoothies: 200 Refresh Drinks for Life, Health and Fun, says replacing real fruit with pasteurized fruit juice isn't a healthy substitution. The swap is why some smoothie shop blends aren't so nutritious, Quigley says, and perhaps another reason for students to take smoothie making into their own hands. and bones while also improving their skin and even their moods "Pasteurized fruit juice reduces the fruit down to a really inferior food." Quigley says, "It becomes just like water and sugar, and ends up lacking the nutrients you'd get if the juice was freshly poured. Your energy will go up for a bit and then you crash." Quigley adds that because many college students' diets lack raw produce, they're missing out on a host of nutrients that can not only keep them energized, but can strengthen their hearts "Raw fruits and veggies are the source of life," Quigley says. "The more you live on pizzas and refined foods, the more problems you'll have with your health and emotions. Those problems in some way have to do with the quality of food you're eating, and so you can turn them around if you eat properly and take the right nutrients." Gina Fish, owner of Perfect Balance Weight Management, 935 Iowa St., says incorporating healthier, uncustomary foods into a smoothie doesn't have to detract from its deliciousness. "If you're already using strawberries, adding cottage cheese in with the strawberries can give it a great strawberry cheesecake flavor," Fish suggests. A smoother is only fit to replace a meal if it contains protein, Fish says, which can come from such smoothie-friendly foods as yogurt and milk. Blends made solely with fruit should just be considered snacks. Fortunately, simple fruit smoothies at snack time can still give you a lift. They've helped Shepard eat colds and stay energized, and such feats have made him a steadfast smoothie sipper. "I would definitely have a smoothie over other snacks because it's healthier and more filling," Shepard says. "Id've have one over Grandma's double-chocolate chip cookies." Smoothies to the Rescue!

The first thing to leave was a much overdue bag of trash. All of his clothes followed out the door and into his car. All of this must be done because the city of Lawrence is coming to inspect the house in a couple of days. Like many campus houses, there are more people living there than allowed by zoning. So by morning, Dustin has to make his THE RULE IN LAWRENCE IS THAT NO MORE THAN THREE UNRELATED PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN A HOUSE TOGETHER. room look like no one lives there, and tomorrow no one will. The city is coming to inspect and follow up on a couple complaints that have been lodged about the house. many houses around campus break. But if someone down the street complains once or twice, the city is required to follow up on it and inspect the outside of This is a problem that students could quickly find themselves facing. The rule in Lawrence is that no more than three unrelated people can live in a house together. This is a rule the house. If you have more than three people living together, it could spell trouble for someone Knowing a couple simple things can help avoid this situation. This problem might have been avoided by simple communication. Dustin and his roommate hadn't met most of their neighbors. So their first communication with some of their neighbors, through an intermediary, was masty; his neighbors didn't want to live next to Dustin and his roommates. There were a couple different complaints logged all at the same time, says their landlord, Doug Billings. Some of the complaints were simple, like trash and brush in the yard. Another complaint was logged about an empty trash can out for more than 24 hours, a complaint that some of Dustin's neighbors got as well. The final and most important complaint was that there was a suspicion that too many people lived in the house. This is the complaint that could most directly affect students. if someone lodges a complaint suggesting too many people are living in a house, the City Zoning Commission quickly follows up to investigate. The zoning commission goes to the house in question; if someone answers the door, they can then go in and inspect the house to see how many people they think live there. The inspectors came to Dustin's house, but nobody answered the door. Brian Jimenez, city code enforcement manager, says that people need to be informed about possible problems to avoid them. Some renters and landlords don't know about the rule restricting the number of unrelated people in a house to three, Jimenez says. So the city usually gives them 30 days or a reasonable amount of time to comply with regulations. If too Complaints from neighbors can also bring city officials to inspect a house.

Some of those complaints include trash in the yard, failing to maintain the yard or complaints about the condition about the exterior the cond of property. JAYPLAY = 10.18.2007 notice George of the Juggle WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN, UNLESS YOU CAN THROW IT BACK UP AGAIN. By Nick Finnegan You may have seen them around campus in front of the Kansas Union or out amidst the trees in front of Fraser Hall. You might have even seen them performing at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival last month. But whether they're using clubs, rings or balls, the members of the KU Juggling club are keeping their tossing hands strong. He asked me what I could do and I explained As I walked the hundreds of steps up to Fraser Hall I noticed, other than that I am out of shape, an intimidating man with dark hair and a very long beard to match. A quick look down at a bag of juggling implements assured me that I was in the right place. I introduced myself to the man who told me his name was Justin Gramey, a former KU student from Fairfax, Va, and has his Ph.D in vertebrate paleontology. that I was only a beginner at juggling as I quickly dropped all but one of the soft beanbags he had given me. We chatted as he juggled (he was much better than me) and told me that he had started the club three years ago with a woman named Emily Tremain who is no longer a part of the club. Gramarie told me that he had always loved jugging and that it has been a part of his life ever since he was a kid. His dad, he explained, had been fascinated with jugging and owned all different kinds of jugging paraphernalia, but had preferred standard jugging balls. "My dad definitely had more tricks with those than I did, but he never used all the other equipment he had, so I got better with those than him," Gramanye says. "And when I moved out I took all of that stuff with me." A while after I had ceased my awkward attempts to suspend the three beanbags in the air for more than a few seconds more than a few seconds, the rest of the group started showing up. Thomas Dumeier, Lawrence senior, aka Tio, was the second to appear. Duermer had also gotten into jugling when he was a kid. In a weird coincidence, his family lived next to a performer who did pantomime and incorporated a bit of jugging into the act. To give her kids some useful experiences, Duermer's mom traded massages (she was a masseuse) for juggling lessons. He told me this story as he jugged clubs, tossing them from behind his back and catching them over his shoulder with seeming ease. As if that wasn't enough of e challenge, someone had brought a futbol with them and, in response to a challenge, Duermer was juggling three clubs while balancing on the ball. "I think I'll" just stick with three clubs for now," he says after being prodded to try four clubs. "I don't feel like hurting myself just yet." Finally, the president of the club, Ezra Husser, Salina junior, came along, bringing boxes of pizza for the entire group. After nourishing themselves on juggling food (delicious cream cheese pizza) they got back into the swing of things. As Gramey and Duermeier practiced passing seven clubs between each other, Huscher talked about the club's trip last year to the World Juggling Federation (WJF) Training Camp. Fifteen members attended the trip. . "It was a really good time. We got to meet a lot of cool people and the really famous juggler who started the WJF," Huscher says. The organization may sound a lot like a pro-wrestling group, but it brings together jugglers from all over under the juggling banner, providing these likeminded people with a place to interact, converse, and throw stuff at each other. This is much the same goal as the KU Juggling Club. Even though the group is relatively small at about 20 members, the chance to get together and have some fun juggling and just interacting makes it all worthwhile. The club meets twice a week; once on Tuesday in front of the Union at 7 p.m. and again on Saturday in front of Frasar Hall at 1 p.m. In addition to the weekly meetings, the jugglers recently juggled at the Renaissance Festival in Kansas City and made a trip to the St. Louis Jugglefest on Oct. 6. If you happen to find your own campus and see a group of people tossing various objects into the air, give them a wave. Just not when a club is headed for one of their faces. THOMAS LAWRENCE aka Tio, wa people practiced clubs between eat, runner, Huscher talked about the club's trip last year to the World Juggling Federation (WJF) Training Camp. Fifteen Just not when a club is for one of their faces. . Juggling jargon You may not be able to juggle like a pro, but now you can sound like one! These are some of the common terms used by juggers. 10 CONTRIBUTED PHOTO The jugglers' equipment includes clubs (leaning in a triangle in back), cigar boxes (left), and Devil Sticks (front). **Props:** The thing you're juggling, excluding random objects. Props can be balls, clubs, clubs, cigar boxes (three wooden boxes) and devil flower sticks (three sticks, one in each hand and one in front). **Hand pass:** A direct toss from one hand to the other without an arc. Cascade: The basic juggling pattern: a thrown object crosses in an arc from one hand to the other. Full shower: This one looks like the cartoon clowns who juggle balls in a big circle. This is more difficult than the cascade, and requires you to use a hand pass and keep more than one ball in the air at a time. 10 Justin Gramarye (left) and Thomas Duermer toss juggling clubs to each other.

Given the permission to bitch and moan, seven local bartenders were more than ready to lay down the commandments of proper bar etiquette—BartiQUE. Here are the five most important rules of the watering hole. This is a prime example of how getting to know your bartender can work out for you in the long run. The general consensus is that if you are nice to your bartender, they'll be nice to you. It's just common sense. A man walks into the Phogy Dog, 23rd and Iowa streets, and before he can get to the bar, Paul Goebel, Shawnee junior, asks him if he has his usual bottle. After seeing his taken care of, Goebel tells him the burgs are two-for-one tonight, and the Mrs. isn't making him dinner, he's got him covered. There is one loophole that bartenders had to this rule. "Getting to know your bartender can work against you, too," says Rob Gillapie, bartender at the Replay Lounge."They could get to know you and figure out real quick you're an asshole." Leaveth Thine Ladies Be Gillaspie was also adamant about how to treat women at bars. He tells all the men at bars to stop hassling the ladies. He jokes that when you scare off the ladies, the guys tending the bar don't have anyone around to make them feel better about themselves. "You never know what someone could slip into your drink, and for that same reason, don't go home with someone you just met," Major says. Lindsay Major, Buffalo Grove, Ill., senior, says that you should also keep your hand on your cup at all times. She goes on to say that you aren't going to fall in love at a bar, and the people you meet at a bar don't love you. The same rules that apply to the women in front of the bar go for the women behind it. Rachel Wagner, a bartender at Old Chicago, 2194 Iowa St., says that it doesn't matter how often you come to a bar, don't feel free to get touchy feely, or hit on the female bartenders. Know Thy Limits If you're standing at the bar, ordering shot after shot and注射 in the corners to poke, that not only makes you a bad drinker, but also a bad customer. Of all the bartenders I interviewed, the majority warned about beliegent customers who didn't know their limits. Not only does it upset the bartenders, it annoys the other customers. "At that point it's not a good time anymore," says Kristin Hoppa, Olathe senior. "Not only is puking a good time, it's not hot. No girl wants to go home with a guy who has his hunch all over himself." A good rule of thumb: When you feel your buffalo wings defying gravity, slow it down a bit and switch to a little water. Know Thv Drink the barrenders at both Quinton's, 615 Massachusetts St. and the Replay Lounge, 10th and Massachusetts St. were adamant about customers knowing what they want, especially Gillasoie. "Don't order a stupid drink, or for that matter, a drink that doesn't exist." Gillaspie says. The guys at Quinton's agree. "Don't order an obscure shot and not only expect us to know it, but get pleased when we don't," says Matt Bantle, senior and bartender at Quinton's. It's a short and sweet rule. If you say you're ready to order, make it snappy. Don't be wishy-washy and don't make up drinks. Not everyone knows what an Alabama Butt Crack is. It's the cardinal rule of going out. It's the end all, beat all of the bartender etiquette. When asked what his or her biggest pet peeve was, every bartender started out with, "People who don't tip." If you simply start out with a generous tip, not only will the bartender see you as a good customer, they're more likely to take care of you, be more attentive to you, and let some outrageous behavior slide. Debra Ginsberg, author of Waiting: True Confessions of a Waitress, sums up a good customer as someone who's there to eat and T-I-P Thou shalt tip ILLUSTRATION BY BECKA CREMER drink and not expecting a cheap therapy session. "I'm not responsible for your problems with your husband, mother, boss, or kids so don't take it out on me. I don't set the prices so don’t blame me for that either." "Know what you want when you tell me you're ready to order. Oh yes, perhaps the most important quality of a good customer: A good tipper."

Every day, the immigration issues infiltrate the news. This is the story of th One word seems to define Karina's life since she moved from Tiaxcala, Mexico to Kansas on May 29, 2011. It's a date she cites automatically, similarly to the way people tell their birthdays. Almost six and a half years have passed since the day they came to the United States, carrying a few suitcases full of the essentials—mainly clothes and toiletries—that would help them begin their new life, Karina, a lean woman with black curly hair and glasses, is now a student at the University of Kansas who lives two different realities. That day, Karina, her parents and two younger sisters crossed the United States-Mexico border as tourists with no intention of returning to the city that she had known for 15 years. Karina was coming back to the country where she was born, while the rest of her family was leaving theirs. In one, she is a university student who is able to pay for school through scholarships and governmental loans. She works as a translator and has a driver's license. In the other, she is part of a family of undocumented immigrants who think twice before getting behind the wheel, afraid of getting caught without a license. "I have freedom. That's a big thing." Karina says, referring to the differences her family's everyday life and hers. "I am able to do anything I want and not be afraid of doing it. My family doesn't have the same privilege." Kansas laws seemed to be working in her sister's favor in 2004 when the Kansas legislature passed a bill allowing undocumented students to pay-in-state tuition at state universities if they met certain requirements. Because of his immigration status, Karina's father, a college graduate with a mechanical engineering degree, works in the food section of a department store. He earns enough to feed Karina's family is part of the 12 million undocumented immigrants who live in the country, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. Her story is also not unusual. There are more than 3 million children who are U.S.citizens and live in houses where the head of the family is undocumented. Karina's sister graduated from high school last year and never attempted to apply to KU because her parents can't afford to pay for her in-state tuition. Regardless of her GPA or involvement in school, Karina's sister can't apply for scholarships or loans because she doesn't have a social security card. "WHAT CAN YOU DO IF EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE AGAINST YOU?" --KARINA the family and pay bills, but not enough to pay for college tuition. Karin's 18-year-old sister, who is an undocumented immigrant, graduated from high school a year ago hoping to follow in her sister's footsteps by attending the University's pre-med program. Karina's sister describes this experience as "a little embarrassing" because shehinks everyone knows that the reason she can't attend the University is not because of her grades. The idea of using her sister's social security number has even come up but Karina says they don't want to break the law. "On one hand, I don't want to go against the law because I want to be a good citizen and on the other, I care about my sister," she says.

Because of the Federal it to Privacy act, the University not allowed to release any of the residency details that are directory information. since the passage of the law, it been challenged many times by opponents, including out-of-states and other organizations. a Mehlman, a spokesman for Don't Speak For me, a nationalization of Hispanics who speak against illegal immigration, says undocumented immigrants committed a crime by crossing United States and their children did not be rewarded. heilman says that not passing the development, Relief and Educationallen Minors (DREAM) act, which did allow students who have been the United States for five yearsmore, have graduated from highcollege and plan to go to college,apply for American citizenship,id not punish the children of undocumented immigrants. The children would still be allowed to remain in the nation, but they would also not be rewarded for their parents' crime by receiving citizenship. "Somebody else's kids are going pay the price. If an undocumented student gets into KU somebody else in the state of Kansas isn't getting in." He says that because the parents of undocumented immigrants put them in this situation, they should be the ones who deal with it and not the US government. Maria, an undocumented student at Kansas State University studying architecture who has asked that her name be changed for security issues, is another one of the students Mehlman is referring to. She found a way to pay for college through privately funde scholarships that didn't require a social security number. Like Karina's sister, Maria can't work to pay for her tuition because she doesn't want to break the law. Yet, she believes that same determination that got her into a state university will lead her to find a path towards citizenship. "I learned you can do anything you want as long as you put your mind to it," Maria says. "I do have obstacles. I'm trying to get an internship and I can't work but I'm trying to find a way. There is a way. I have to find a way." immigrants, her daughter to have a good education and a higher quality of life than they did in their home country. In Mexico, her father sold fruits and vegetables out of the back of an old car.

Maria tells the story of her family having to push the car to take it around town with a shyiqole. Although Maria knows that a family pushing a car around is a comedic image, what the image represents is also what brought her parents to the United States a year and a half after that episode. They left a 14-year-old Maria in Mexico and moved to Kansas where they worked as cheap labor. college as an architect with dreams of one day being able to build affordable housing in Kansas. But she doesn't meet any of the requirements to be Today, Maria is a year and a semester away from graduating from --KARINA able to apply for citizenship in the United States. The path to reaching her dream, she says, is very blurry. Mary won't be able to legally apply to for a job once she graduates, she can't apply for internships, and because she doesn't have a driver's license, she won't be able to take a required test for architecture students to get recognized. But Maria doesn't sit waiting for policies to change. She belongs to organizations that promote the DREAM act. The act is planned to be introduced to the senate in late October or early November. "I don't want to go back to Mexico. I keep saying that I will see what happens when I graduate. I really hope the DREAM act happens, that's all I can say." But the debate about the law that would allow Maria to work after she graduates and Karina's sister to afford the University is still heated. David Trevino, an immigration lawyer, believes that children of undocumented immigrants should have an opportunity to study and work in the country that formed their education. "Even though it was the parent who broke the law, the children shouldn't be held accountable for that. They should be given an opportunity to legalize." Treino says. Both Karina and Maria listen to all sides of the debate carefully. For them, it is not an isolated problem that is being discussed in offices in Washington or on CNN—it is a law that would change their lives. When talking about the illegal immigration discussion, Karina's sister starts talking non-stop, getting obviously frustrated with every word coming out of her mouth. She says if she could talk to the people who discuss the issue on TV or in the legislature, she would have too much to say. "I just want them to know that we want to be part of the country, which is not a bad thing," she says.

By Adrienne Bommarito John Carland graduated from The University of Kansas with a Bachelor's degree in History. He served a year in Vietnam as a demolition specialist. He got married and bought a house in west Lawrence. He earned his stock broker's license and founded a financial service called Premier Capital Services. Then, in the blink of an eye Carland's life turned upside-down. Premier Capital Services went broke in 2000 and lost millions of dollars. Everyone in the company lost their job, including Carland. To add to his stress and misfortune, Carland's wife of 23 years divorced him. "I live at the Salvation Army and am looking for a job," says Carland. Carland's tribulation put him in a place no one wants to be; on the streets. Last January, the social service agencies in Lawrence conducted a census and found that 373 people living in Lawrence are homeless; half of that number is families. Compared to the 82,263 people living in Lawrence, as reported by Money Magazine in 2006, the small number that is homeless but that doesn't mean it's not a problem. A general stereotype of the homeless is that they have lost everything because they are drug abusers. "Drugs and alcohol are not the reason. It's more of a coping method; not the cause," says Hillary Bowker, Kansas City Mo. senior and co-director for the Jubilee Café for the Center of Community Outreach, a campus centralizes volunteer activities. Bowker has volunteered at the Lawrence Community Shelter, 214 W. 10th St., for the past year. She listens and talks with the guests at the shelter. She says that the general stereotype of the homeless is wrong, and that they all come from poverty grounds and have different history. Some go through bad divorces and lose everything. Some have mental illnesses and can't afford help and can't find or keep jobs because of their illness. Some just have financial trouble that they have never been able to kick. Some do have drug and alcohol problems. Some have mental disorders. Bowler, says just have a case of bad luck. Don Huggs, volunteer director at the Lawrence Community Shelter, says many of the homeless just need to know that someone cares.

He said he was planning on heading home to Oregon soon. a place to hang out at during the day and mats for 31 people to sleep on during the night. Yes, some people get turned away. "What volunteers do here is show some compassion and care," Huggins says, "Just by being here that message gets carried out." Wes Walder, Corps Officer for the Salvation Army, says it has the capacity to house 60 every night, but about 40 to 50 individuals show up. Twenty-four bunkbeds are attached to the Salvation Army. Unlike the Lawrence Community Shelter, the Salvation Army gives breathalyzer tests to individuals wanting to spend the night. The rule operates like the driving rule: that those blow 0.08 and above are not admitted. The Lawrence Community Shelter does not turn away people based on alcohol levels. Tour the Work Force pairs volunteers with individuals who accompany them to the Lawrence Workforce Center, 2540 Iowa la, and walk them through the steps of finding a job. Not only does the Lawrence Community Shelter provide nighttime housing but it also helps individuals find jobs. Four programs were created to assist in the job hunt: Good Dog Gourmet Biscuits Back to Work is a program that connects individuals with a job coach to find and keep a job. and Treats demonstrates all parts of a business. Individuals make and package gourmet dog treats, then sell them at the Farmer's Market, as well as to pet stores and veterinarians in Lawrence. Casual Day Labor which allows people needing assistance with moving furniture or doing yard to hire an individual for the day. The Lawrence Community Shelter provides dinner at 8:30 p.m. for the 31 individuals chosen to sleep there. It also supplies breakfast—coffee and cereal—every day for them and Fridays on those mornings the Jubilee Cafe, offers breakfast. The Center for Community Outreach puts on the Jubilee Cafe which is held in the basement of the First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont, from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. The Salvation Army offers a community lunch on Mondays, Wednesday and Friday from 12 to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 8 p.m. for the night guests. Around 100 individuals show up for breakfast at the Jubilee Cafe. The cost to host the breakfast each morning averages $150. The church budgets $500 every month and the Church Committee makes up the difference by donations and fundraisers. Volunteers are needed for the Jubilee Cafe, the Lawrence Community Shelter and the Salvation Armv.

So what does Microsoft have up its sleeve to squash its much reused competition? First off, since its rather unsuccessful release last year, the Zune has been markedly revamped.

Although the contents of the yellow packets end up sprinkled in the cups of every calorie-conscious coffee drinker around the country, Splenda's reputation as a healthy sweetener can be in jeopardy.

RILO KILEY UNDER THE BLACKLIGHT The album start out well enough with "Silver Lining," which shows some of the things you come to expect from Rilo Kiley: smart and edgy lyrics from Jenny Lewis and an alt-country sound with an experimental edge. "Close Call" follows that up with a mid-tempo pop rock song. But after that the album slips into bad lyrics and cheesy music. First is "The Moneymaker," a sleazy tale about porn stars that is boring and lacks any real substance. And besides, as fans have pointed out, the music sounds eerily similar to The Muppet Show theme song or "Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven. Other embarrassing tracks include "Dejalo," the latin-inspired song that even your crazy Aunt Joan would be too embarrassed to try at karake. "15"sounds lazy, sloppy and not fit for a Smash Mouth B-side album. And then there's the album closer, "Give It A Little Love," which sounds like something Gwen Stefani would attempt. The album comes afloat at times with decent tracks like "Dreamworld" and "Under The Blacklight," but they simply pale in comparison to other Rilo Kiley songs and do little to save Rilo Kiley's most disappointing release to date.

That is what Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) does in the *Inlet* the actor and occasional writer-director Sean Penn's paenth to youthful rebellion. Based on the non-fiction book by Jon Krakauer, the film shows McCandles' journey from his cushioned life in D.C. suburb to a self-sustained existence in Alaska, following other like-minded writers and propelled by his own disdain towards materialism. After 142 sity. Christopher donates his $24,000 of life savings to charity, burns all forms of identification, and adopts a new name: Alexander Supertramp. *Into the Wild does more than just show Supertram's two-year odyssey across America. The filmmakers attempt to account for his motives from narration from his sister, his letters and journals, and unnerving home-movies of his parents. It is this search for reason that creates some of the films' best moments and elevates it from the road-movie conventions it could have easily succumbed to, to a film of extreme sensitivity and incivilities.* The journey itself is filled with scenes that are hilarious, sweet, terrifying, and beautiful. Of course he meets a variety of people, becoming a part of a pseudo-family with a hippie couple, the surrogate son of an old man afraid to live life, and working for a blue-collar homogend as a grain harvester. The film, though, suffers from too many stylistic flourishes and a slightly disorganized narrative. For a film about space the liberal use of split screens constricts the frame. These things, perhaps nit-pick, keep into the Wild from being the flat-out masterpiece it could have been. Nevertheless it is a great film with many moments that stay with you long after it is over. ★★★★ Chance Dibben Say it all without saying a word.

When I came to KU as a freshman from Seoul, South Korea, I could write and read English a lot better than I could speak it. About all I could say was "excuse me," "what are you?" "thank you," "nice to meet you," and "have a nice day." But I was optimistic about my new adventure, at least until I arrived. I had heard all about studying abroad being a fun and unforgettable experience. My English proficiency was my only concern, but decided not to take that much into consideration. In my mind everything was going to work out just fine. Unfortunately, the reality was more brutal than I expected. My dream of speaking English fluently with Americans was shattered from the very first day of school. I was overwhelmed by all kinds of culture shocks including food, clothes, people, weather and even those strange skeleton costumes at Halloween. But the language shocked me the most. People here didn't speak English with a Korean accent. And of course, people didn't understand my English pronunciation. The very first pronunciation I realized I had difficulty distinguishing between were the $l$ and $r$ sounds, in Korean, the $l$ and $r$ sound just the same. So "I pray for your election," can sound just like "i play for your erection." When I was a freshman, a classmate asked me what my favorite food was, I answered, "I like fried rice." Well, there's no distinction between the f sound and the p sound in Korean, either, so you can probably imagine what that sounded like in my Korean tongue. I had to say, "airak pride lice" five times for him to understand what I was saying. However, this little incident was nothing compared to the most embarrassing day of my tangled-tongue days. I still remember that day vividly. I was taking notes in my western civilization class, and I was out of paper. I whispered to a classmate sitting next to me. "Can I have a sheet of paper?" I thought I whispered only to the classmate, but a few people around me stopped scribbling, lifted their heads and stared at me for a second. Like I always do in these types of situations, I repeated what I just said in my head: "Can...I...have...a...the sheet...of... paper!" Hmm... nothing seemed unusual. There were no l or r sounds, no f or p sounds, and I was pretty sure my grammar was correct. As I was pondering did-i-l-say-wrong question, one of my classmates said. "What did you say?" I repeated the exact words, People started to giggle, and then I repeated the words again to myself. And there it was. I could see why people laughed 中 My face was blushing and I was stammering as I explained my mistake. By Seongbae Cheon "Nono,I said shit of paper,Oh... not again... I mean sheeeet of paper,not the S-word.I meant...a piece of paper. Yes! Synonym for a piece of paper." I was totally embarrassed. Just when I was feeling more comfortable with my pronunciation, this incident had to happen. I started to laugh along with them. After all, I just discovered another mistake. Why not make properly. TV a lot and repeated sentences whenever I heard some that sounded hard. it took me a while to get used to this, but eventually my confidence toward English increased dramatically. That incident gave me the motivation to fix my pronunciation, and I thought of a brilliant way to improve: TV I started to watch I was in an economics discussion session. We were doing a group activity to answer a few questions. Unfortunately, the guys in my group didn't seem to care too much about the assignment. They started to talk about some random things too fast, of which I had no clue. I finally realized that it was time to step forward to show off my English a little and complete the assignment. My brain started spinning as I tried to make up a perfect English sentence in my A few months later, I was as confident about my pronunciation as if I were a bear in front of a fish. I believed I had mastered English pronunciation because I had fixed various sounds that were not part of Korean language. But just when I thought I was ready to say goodbye to my beloved Konglish, another incident happened. head. This time, every little detail seemed important to me. It took me about 30 seconds to just make up a sentence that finally seemed right to me. Then I spoke up. "Hey guys, this assignment is really difficult, so let's focus." I was proud of myself. I had finally spoken a daunting sentence to a native speaker of English Hahbal Besides, I was pretty sure I made the f' sound auras wrapped around me. Then I saw the puzzled faces of the group members. Could it be another pronunciation mistake? certainly said "focus," not "pocus." Even before I repeated what I just said word-by-word in my head, one of the group members laughed and said energetically; "Yeah! That's right!" I felt confused. If I was right, why did the quvs look so puzzled? But a few seconds later, when I repeated the words in my head, I could hear the mistake '12' that I什什 I put to much empathies. "Hey guys, this assignment is really difficult so let's fuckus." I've cursed twice in English unintentionally. But thanks to those experiences, I have tried hard to overcome my weakest area of the foreign language. I no longer have to repeat sentences over and over again. It's truly a nice feeling that somebody can understand the words coming out of my mouth these days. Right now, I can proudly say to those who are learning foreign languages: "Don't just concentrate on grammar and don't just write out vocabulary on a SHEET of paper to memorize; FOCUS more on pronunciation!" I hope you understood what I just said. CONFIDENCE ayplay FEATURING HAWKCHALK.COM BUY, SELL, AND TRADE!

Left: Emily Brown, senior right side/setter, and Natalie Uhart, senior middle blocker, block a spike from a Baylor hitter. Kansas scrapped and gritted its way to a 2-1 lead, but the team's early match magic evaporated along with its lead as Kansas fell 3-2 (30-24, 26-30, 28-30, 30-26, 15-11) to Baylor on Wednesday night at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The loss dropped-the jayhawks to 10-10 overall and 3-7 in the Big 12 Conference, while the Bears improved to 10-10, and 3-7 in the Big 12. Discouraging and disappointing were just a few of the words coach Ray Bechard used to describe the loss. "They played a little cleaner and I think they said, 'Hey, we're in game five on the road,' and I think they valued that opportunity a little more than we did and that's disappointing." Bechard said. "In the end, we desperately needed a win tonight and we couldn't get it." Kansas was plagued all game by a low hitting efficiency. The Jayhawks hit .171 as a team while Baylor hit .234. The game continued a season-long trend for the Jayhawks, who came into tonight with the lowest team hitting percentage in the Big 12. "You just can't let that happen, especially in the Big 12," senior setter Emily Brown said of the loss. "I don't know if we just kind of had a mentality of, 'Hey, we're playing at home, and that's just going to give us that extra edge,' but you can't rely on that in the Jayplay Jayplay FEATURING HAWKCHALK.COM BUY, SELL, AND TRADE!

Students from Kansas City-area high schools were invited to the University to learn about leadership and college opportunities. Hawthorne lives in Philadelphia and is CEO of her own business. RIGHT, The Black Leadership Symposium was planned to encourage black high school students to attend college.

Moose was a member of the student panel who shared their personal experiences in college. 》 BLACK LEADERSHIP Area students learn options for education BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com Pamela Scott, associate director of Multi-Cultural Affairs, said the event informed students about college and offered keys to success in the future. On Wednesday 350 black students from Kansas City-area high schools visited the University of Kansas. They attended the 22nd annual Black Leadership Symposium designed to encourage students to attend college. "We just want to get information out to high school students about college and it doesn't necessarily mean KU," Scott said. "We're talking about college, a college education and how it is so instrumental to success in the future. We're raising awareness of opportunity." During the symposium, high school students learned about leadership and possible post-high school careers. The event featured guest speakers that included Erica Hawthorne. She is CEO of a private company and works as a performing artist. A panel of KU students shared their personal college experiences. Cherie Moose, panelist and Wichita senior, attended the event when she was a high school senior. Moose said although she had already planned to attend college, she remembered the event being helpful because it gave information high school students wouldn't otherwise receive. University entertainment groups that performed were Alpha Phi Alpha, Phi Beta Sigma Unity Hip-Hop squad, Zeta Phi Beta and Inspirational Gospel Voices. "It it shows a lot of people have options with higher education even though they might not be considering it," Moose said. She said it was rewarding to come back as a panelist and encourage her younger peers to enroll. Kasey Cullors, Wichita senior, was one of the student coordinators of the event. She said it took nearly two months to plan it and that students were chosen by their high schools based on GPA performance. He said he wanted students to have an open mind after the event. "My hope is students really gain insight to college and what it's about," Cullors said.

Dole wanted to award a politician and an American hero. As one of the youngest leaders in the civil rights movement, Lewis participated in sit-ins, Freedom Rides and marches. In March 1965, Lewis was brutally attacked by a state trooper in the Selma to Montgomery march on a day later known as "Bloody Sunday." Lewis still works for human rights and civil liberties in the U.S. House of Representatives.

KULTURE KANSAN FILE PHOTO Popularity brews among the locals Free State Brewing enjoys its status as unique among Lawrence bars When it opened in 1989, Free State Brewing Co. was the first legal brewery in Kansas since the 1881 prohibition of beer manufacturing. This year Free State was the first Kansas-brewed beer to be served at the Kansas State Fair. FREE STATE BREWING CO. FreeStore Specialty Beers BY ADAM VOSSEN editor@kansan.com It's a testament to the popularity of the Free State Brewing Co. that at 4:45 p.m. on a Thursday the bar is far from empty. Since 1989, it has been a prominent business in downtown Lawrence and a watering hole for students looking for locally brewed beer. Proprietor Chuck Magerl attributes the popularity of the bar to avoiding a "niche" and keeping Free State accessible to everyone. This philosophy includes keeping prices moderate for families and frugal college students. "We're different from a lot of national chains and have the ability to have unique and special foods and beers at a good value." Magerl said. According to "Kansas History" magazine, Free State was the first legal brewery in Kansas to open since the state's 1881 law prohibiting beer manufacturing. In 1987 Kansas legislators passed new laws that eased brewing restrictions. Before the national prohibition, Kansas had a strong brewing business, supported largely by the many German immigrants in the area. Free State, 633 Massachusetts St., helped lead the renovation and revival of the 600 block of Massachusetts Street. This year, Free State made history by becoming the first Kansas-brewed beer to be served at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson. The beer brewed at Free State is sold to a wholesaler and then distributed. Other establishments in Lawrence, such as Liberty Hall and the Sandbar, have Free State beer on tap. "Anything you can do that's local is always great, and it's a great beer," said Sandbar Manager David Johanning. Liberty Hall has served Free State beer for the eight years Genelle Denneny has been the bar manager there. She echoed Johanning's sentiment of wanting to support a local business. "Customers are familiar with it. They love having it." Denneny said. Free State has tried to return the favor for other local businesses since it has been open by buying local produce. It also has actively participated in environmental issues by composting its waste and recycling for more than 10 years, putting it ahead of the recent attention given to these issues. "We always know when the fall break is coming up, and we are better able to take care of customers," Magerl said. Free State's longevity also has helped the business prepare for the busy times of year. The students see this special care, and it is appreciated. "I think it's cool that they have the Monday night beer spectals," Salina junior Sara Thompson said. "And they have really good beer. That's always important, and they have pretty delicious food." Luis Santacruz, Asunción, Paraguay, senior, had nothing but good things to say about the bar. "First of all, I like the entire bar concept of having a microbrewery on site," he said. "I also like the front porch. It's a good place to spend your summer afternoon." In addition to the atmosphere, Santacruz goes for the beer brewed by Free State. "There's one which I really like, the Ad Astra," he said. "The flavor is bold and refreshing at the same time, and it's not like other ales. It's easy to drink and enjoy." Magerl said 25 percent to 35 percent of the customer base was students. He also knows the day-to-day ebb and flow of the student clientele, and said that after 10 p.m., student business was more concentrated. Magerl has no problem with this, even though college students might not bring in as much revenue as customers with more cash flow. "It's a livelier and more cultural mix from a college crowd than you get in an urban setting," he said. "I enjoy seeing the KU influence, and it's hard to imagine doing what we do anywhere else." This influence extends to the staff, which has a mix of theater, pre-nursing, psychology and education majors. "The University brings a wide array of academic background into the employment mix," Magerl said. Locally brewed beer, supporting Lawrence business and a mini-history lesson all justify a trip to this landmark, and the best kind of landmark at that: one at which people can become inebriated. Edited by Amelia Freidline ODD NEWS Arkansas House votes to keep chew in chambers LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas lawmakers won't have to give up their portable spittoons or cans of snuff after House members rejected a rule banning chewing tobacco from their chambers Thursday. With a 51-27 vote, the House of Representatives fell short of the 67 votes needed to change the rules to ban the use of all tobacco products. House rules and state law already prohibit smoking cigars, cigarettes or pipes in the chamber Supporters of the ban noted that chamber rules, which prohibit food and drink in the chamber, allow for a day's worth of tobacco juice. Pamphlets on the risks of chewing tobacco that included pictures of diseased mouths were left on members' desks before the vote. "We need to set an example in here for all the kids who sit in the gallery and watch us work," said Democrat Rep. Randy Stewart. Rep. Billy Gaskill, who smokes and does not chew tobacco, said he opposed the ban and suggested supporters of the restriction were hypocrites with their own health problems. "Here we go again, telling us how to live and how to die, and the very people that are most for this amendment are about 50 pounds overweight," said Gaskill, another Democrat. "Leave us alone. ... Let us die the way we want to." Rep. Monty Davenport, who voted against the ban, pulled out a can of chewing tobacco during an interview outside the House chamber after the vote. Davenport said he wouldn't have minded if the ban passed and said he's trying to quit using chewing tobacco. "It is gross, and as a health issue you can't defend it. It's unhealthy," said Davenport, a Democrat. A law banning smoking in nearly all indoor workplaces in Arkansas went into effect last year. It does not cover chewing tobacco. Sporting stolen watch lands man back in slammer SANTA FE, N.M. — A man who walked into a meeting with his probation officer wearing a Rolex watch ended up sporting hand-cuffs. Victor Lopez, 32, was arrested Tuesday on a probation violation for possessing stolen property and was booked into the Santa Fe County jail, police said. The probation officer grew suspicious when he noticed Lopez wearing the $2,500 watch and called police, Wheeler said. "It goes back to that thought process that these guys aren't the sharpest tools in the shed," said Santa Fe Deputy Police Chief Aric Wheeler. The watch was stolen Sunday evening when three men forced their way into a Santa Fe home, police said. Lopez told police a friend had left the watch at his home, Wheeler said. Officers went to the Probation and Parole Department and determined from markings on the watch that it was the one that was stolen. Wheeler said. Lopez has an arrest record dating back to 1997. He had been sentenced four days earlier in five cases, said Cindy L. Turcotte, a Santa Fe attorney. Associated Press on campus Christine Knudsen will present the lecture "Building a U.N.

J KU HALL CENTER FOR THE HUMANITIES The University of Kansas 4 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2007 NEWS DOLE INSTITUTE 3A Honors go to civil rights leader BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com One of the "Big Six" leaders of the civil rights movement — a group that includes Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks — will visit the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on Sunday. Civil rights leader and U.S. Institute awards Leadership Prize Congressman John Lewis will receive this year's Dole Leadership Prize, in the Institute's largest event. Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the Lied Center. M. KARIM ZAYA Lewis Lewis grew up in rural Alabama where he experienced racial discrimination daily. Lewis said he remembered seeing the white men and women signs and colored men and women signs. He said witnessing such segregation had a profound impact on him. After hearing King speak and learning of Rosa Parks' demonstration on the bus, Lewis said he was motivated at a young age despite his mother's objections. "My mother would say, 'Don't get in trouble, that's just the way it is.'" Lewis said. "But I was inspired to do something. I thought if they can do it, we can do it, too." Lewis became one of the youngest leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, and formed a close friendship with King. He participated in sit-ins at Nashville diners in 1960 and was arrested for the first time at age 20 during a sit-in. Lewis said he knew when he decided to get involved in the movement it would be a difficult yet necessary battle. "I knew I had to take a long, hard look at the struggle," Lewis said. "I fell against great odds, but I never gave up, never became hostile or bitter." At 23, Lewis helped organize the March on Washington where King gave his famous "I Have A Dream" speech. Lewis was also a speaker at the march, and he said it was one of his proudest moments. During a Freedom March from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery, Ala., on March 7, 1965, Lewis was severely beaten on Edmund Pettus Bridge by a state trooper. Lewis said although he thought at that moment he would die, he never has renounced the principles of non-violence. Lewis has served Georgia's fifth district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1987. He is a member of the Democratic caucus and serves on the House Ways and Means Committee. Ebony Howard, president of the KU Black Student Union and Fort Worth senior, said she highly valued the recognition the Dole Institute was giving Lewis. She said she was looking forward to hearing Lewis speak because he was truly living history. Howard said Lewis' work was relevant to students. "I think his work in the Civil Rights is commendable because it was done at such a young age," Howard said. "Most students don't realize much of the movement was fought by teenagers." Monica Crane, Wichita senior and Dole Student Advisory board member, said sometimes the news highlighted politicians who were corrupt or working for personal gain. Crane said the prize was awarded to someone who was completely opposite that image. She said Lewis was one of the last living leaders who experienced the Civil Rights movement and few students details Who: U.S. Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia) What: Winner of the 2007 Dole Leadership Prize When: 7:30 p.m. Sunday Where: Lied Center Tickets: Tickets are required but free.

"He's nationally respected for being one of the first in the movement," Crane said. "He was nearly killed. He bears the scars of the movement." Dole Institute interim director Jonathan Earle said U.S. Sen. Bob Dole instituted the prize to show that politics could be an honorable profession. Earle said candidates were often considered true American heroes along with their political titles. Former mayor of New York City Rudy Guillani, Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Polish President Lech Walesa and South Dakota Sen. George McGovern are past Dole Leadership Prize winners. Earle said Lewis was a unique American hero because of his leadership throughout the Civil Rights movements and his work in the U.S. Congress. Lewis said receiving the Dole Leadership Prize was a very meaningful honor. He said any student could become a leader. "Young people should find something that is so dear to them," Lewis said. "Find a calling, a mission and bring about change. Leave something for the next generation." Tickets to the Dole Leadership Prize ceremony are free and may be picked up at the Lied Center, Murphy Hall or Student Union Activities in the Kansas Union. Edited by Amelia Freidline STUDENT LIFE Hillel adds food drive to Shabbat celebration BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com did you know... Jon Hurst-Sneh said he wanted to reach out to the community for tonight's Rock Chalk Shabbat, so he partnered with a local food donation service. For the past six years, Hillel has invited both Jewish and non-Jewish students, faculty, staff and community members to join them for a Friday night service followed by a free traditional Shabbat dinner. Hurst-Sneh, Overland Park sophomore and co-chairman for Rock Chalk Shabbat, said he wanted to add another dimension to the annual event. He arranged a canned food drive with Harvesters Community Food Network in "Shabbat, Hebrew for the Sabbath, is a day of rest and is celebrated every week from Friday night at sunset until Saturday night at sundown (25 hours). On Shabbat, you spend time with family, pray, read, and rejuvenate. Many Jewish people light candles to symbolically ward off the darkness and welcome the Divine." — www.joi.org/celebrate/shabbat/ index.shtml Kansas City, Mo. Hurst-Sneh also planned a raffle to encourage dinner guests to bring canned foods. All prizes were donated by local businesses. Rachel Seliger, Seattle senior and Hillel intern, said last year the chancellor, vice provost and about 450 other people attended the event. She said they expected about 500 guests tonight. She said they would serve brisket, chicken and potatoes. "Its just kind of a nice way to get the community to eat together." Seliger said. Carli Harber, Atlanta senior and co-chairwoman for Rock Chalk Shabbat, said she and Hurst-Sneh had been meeting at least once a week for the past month and a half to prepare for tonight's event. She said the canned food drive fit well with this year's theme, "Making a Difference, One Jayhawk at a Time." Services begin at 6 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, followed by a free dinner in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Several student speakers will participate in the service. The raffle will be held after the dinner. Hurst-Sneh made a video about tonight's event that can be viewed on YouTube, Facebook or on Hillel's Web site, www.kuhillel.org. - Edited by Amelia Freidline STUDENT DELIVERY SPECIAL $1 OFF New Extended Menu KANSAN COUPONS expires 10.31.07 $50 off a private party room 785-841-3855 KANSAN COUPONS expires 10.31.07 20 WingStreet WINGS Three Ways to Wing It!

KANSAN COUPONS expires 10.31.07 presented by THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Panel to debate government climate policy CAMPUS BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com It is the middle of October and many Kansans are still wearing shorts. Despite what others might think, researchers at the University of Kansas say this is not a good thing. Glicksman said the U.S. government was not doing enough to curb some of the long-term effects of global warming. Robert Glicksman, KU professor of law, said he and other law professors were working on a book which details U.S. policy on climate change. The experts attending the conference originally were invited to contribute to the book. The School of Law on Saturday will play host to experts in fields from natural sciences to philosophy to discuss current policies on climate change Saturday. "Facts, Ideas and U.S. Climate Change Policy: A Conference on Climate Change" will feature a panel of experts from around the world to present research concerning global climate change. They hope to come to an agreement on suggestions for local and federal policy concerning the issue. "We figured as long as we have these experts in town, it'd be a great opportunity to inform the public on these important issues," he said. "The main thesis of the book is that the federal government doesn't act because of commitments to free market ideology," Glicksman said. He went on to say that the government tended to believe imposing changes on businesses' carbon dioxide emissions and other factors that contribute to climate change would cost more money than it was worth. "Cost-benefit analysis done by government agencies sacrifices long-term environmental action for short term economical gains," he said. "They often think there is a lot of scientific uncertainty." David Braaten, professor of atmospheric science and deputy director of the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets at KU, said local and federal policymakers often ignored the issue and its long-term effects. He said government officials were typically concerned with the next election, not the next generation. "When we're talking about the extinction of species or the oblitera- "Climate change policies have largely been ineffective, but today the increasing weight of scientific evidence and public opinion provides the opportunity for meaningful policy ideas to become legal realities," Zimmerman said. Ben Zimmerman. Dodge City third-year law student and president of the Environmental Law Society, said other students could use their voice to produce profound policy change regarding global warming. "The surface melt is increasing and is extending well into the fall," he said. "We are seeing entire lakes on ice sheets in September. This is something we've never really seen before. It should be getting cold and it's not. It's very dramatic." tion of a city because of flooding, it is difficult to figure a monetary value. "I'm not sure they want my opinion," Braaten said. "Some of the rhetoric is that the science is uncertain, that's not true. The science is as solid as science gets. I think politicians use that as an excuse for not doing anything policy-wise. We don't need another 10 years to say there is a big change happening." Braaten said that people were also still wearing shorts in Greenland, where a good deal of ice sheet research was done. He said rising global temperatures were producing scary side effects where the weather was usually extremely cold. The conference will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday in 104 Green Hall. The conference is open to the public. Edited by Jeff Briscoe join us Wednesday, October 24 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at OREAD BOOKS Kansas Union Level 2 Grad Finale GREAT GIVEAWAYS!!

Unique dishes spice up menu BY COURTNEY CONDRON ccondron@kansan.com Encore Café, a new restaurant in downtown Lawrence, offers a mixture of Asian influenced food and American favorites such as smoothies and brisket. Denny Wong, co-manager of Encore, said the restaurant was something unique compared with most oriental take-out places. Encore, which opened Monday at 1007 Massachusetts St., has several types of bubble tea, a popular Chinese drink, along with milkshakes, slushes and coffee drinks. The menu features snacks such as edamame and popcorn chicken. Salads made of seaweed and calamari also are available. Encore offers a variety of entrees including Asian inspired dishes such as wonton egg noodles and Thai and curry dishes. "The food is prepared a different way, and the curry sauce is different from others." Wong said. "The bubble tea is totally different than what people have had before." Wanna Zhao, Juang, China junior and co-manager of Encore, said the restaurant's unique dishes included pineapple fried rice and the beef teriakii on baked rice. Encore's smoothies include mango, kiwi and strawberry with optional tapioca on the bottom. The restaurant also offers hot and cold teas such as jasmine milk tea, coconut milk tea and passion fruit green tea. The restaurant has a casual setting with two flat-screen televisions and a karaoke room that is coming soon. "We wanted to make it more fun, not one of the higher-class places," Zhao said. "People can come in, enjoy themselves and socialize." Zhao said the restaurant would have its liquor license in a few weeks and would then begin serving alcoholic beverages. The karaoke room will be open in a month or two after it is finished being sound-proofed. Zhao wanted to add the karaoke room because of the popularity of karaoke in China and to attract Asian student groups. Zhao said customers had begun coming in, and she already saw some students come back twice in one day. "Our menu is really different, and I think people should give it a try. People will like it," Zhao said.

"Of course, this involved tons of studying." Students such as Jahnke, Shawnee senior, who are interested in going to law school can get valuable information at the School of Law open house. Registration begins at 10 a.m. and the open house ends at 3 p.m. today at Green Hall. The event is free and open to all students.

Nance said students often were concerned with getting their applications completed properly and turned in to the school on time. She also said students asked who they should write a letter of recommendation for them as well as questions about the LSAT and GPA requirements. Wendy Rohleder-Sook, associate dean for student affairs, said law students should look forward to the challenges that awaited them both as a law student and thereafter. Last year the School of Law received 1,067 applications to the school and admitted 391. Nance encouraged students to plan early. She said if students couldn't attend the Open House, they should set up a visit, sit in on a first-year law class and make an appointment with a pre-law advisor. She said the school started accepting applications on Sept. 15. The deadline is March 15. "We encourage students to plan on submitting their application by Thanksgiving, New Year's at the latest," she said. "Since we have a rolling application process, turning in your application early is best for both admissions and scholarship opportunities." Jahnke, who is also president of the Phi Alpha Delta pre-law fraternity, said she had been in the process of applying to law schools "Both in law school and in the legal profession, students can look forward to an ongoing intellectual challenge," she said. "Because the law continuously changes, a lawyer must rely on the skills he or she develops in law school in identifying legal issues, constructing arguments and researching when practicing law."

Joseph Steinmetz, dean of liberal ASHLEY ACOSTA Graduate student arts and sciences, said the University was trying to address the lack of funding and available positions through its new plan: Planning for Excellence. Last year when he talked to people throughout the 52 CLAS departments, Steinmetz said the most common complaint was the lack of support for graduate students. Steinmetz said the University wanted to increase the number of positions available for graduate students and better pay. "A lot of the faculty in the philosophy department here are pretty well-established in their areas of specialization." Acosta, first-year graduate student from Norfolk, Va., came to the University wanting to be a graduate teaching assistant in philosophy this year. But because of a lack of funding and available GTA positions in the philosophy department, Acosta is one of many graduate students in the Steinmetz said GTA funding was paid by the University through state funds in return for the students' teaching work. He said that compared with other Midwest schools such as Iowa, Illinois and Colorado, the university was lagging behind. Acosta said she could likely work as a TA in the Humanities and Western Civilization department because it often hired students with degrees in philosophy, history and other subjects. "My main interest in philosophy is actually the philosophy of literature," she said. "And TAing for Western Civ would fit in very well with my intended area of specialization." And while Acosta wants to pursue a career in education, she's not going to limit herself just to that. She has plenty of other goals she wants to achieve in the future. "I definitely want to teach, but I'd also like to write a novel, get another degree in either History or American Studies and play banjo in a bluegrass band," she said.

NICE AND ACCURATE PROPHECIES MAX RINKEI Deciding between democrat and republican, still Sharing a bathroom with presidential candidate makes case for staying independent BENJAMIN R. SMITH share a bathroom with Obama. By this I mean that I work in a bakery that shares a bathroom with the newly established campaign headquarters for Barack Obama, right across the way from the Royal Crest Bowling Alley in the Hillcrest Shopping Center. This is funny to me because my boss is a staunch Republican. I'm not leaning in any particular direction yet. On the one hand, I am told that I may not have Social Security when I'm 70, and on the other hand I'm warned that I'll end up waiting a considerably long while before I become eligible for my first knee replacement surgery. It seems that over the last few weeks I've been having a lot of conversations about who I'm going to vote for in 2008. Having such conversations reminds me why I checked the "independent" box on my registration card. Nothing seems like an entirely good idea in the long run, no matter which side of the barbed wire fence you stand on. I give all credit to the candidates, however. No matter what tickets they are running on, they have the toughest job in the world: selling the future to the American people. Some want to fight to make the world free, others want to work to make the world like us again, most want to save us money in the long run ("us" being a loose and hazy term). There are promises about the environment and about education. One thing is certain, all of them are dead set to point out that they have never been affiliated with George W. Bush. In all this bickering and politicking I'm still undecided, just as I was in 2004 when I ended up voting for Kerry because he wasn't the one sending guys and girls my age to die in some forsaken desert thousands of miles away. I viewed that as a deciding plus. However, the one thing that will ultimately decide my vote in the future—the promise that a politician can make me that will make me proud to pull the lever in support of his or her administration—is a promise that will read something like this: "I, ___, promise that it will be my highest sworn duty to do one good deed for an American citizen every day, whether that action is to defend his life, accelerate his pursuit of happiness, or recover his liberty. And I charge every American to take this oath along side me. We will work together to help one person each day, and we will do this with the knowledge that we may not receive retribution or thanks." In my mind, an American fights for the liberties of his countrymen and not for his government, he works for the betterment of tomorrow and not for his president. He takes care of himself as well as others to the best of his ability. He gladly sacrifices and never takes his rights for granted. To this model American, all are equal and none are denied voice. I would proudly elect any candidate who said these words and lived by them whole-heartedly. Stances on gun control, birth control, immigration control, and economics are secondary to this superlative oath. Smith is a Rose Hill graduate student in English.

Coal power given unnecessary attention Other alternatives to growing energy needs prove more plausible MARK PETTERSON You may have seen it on fliers on Wescoe Beach, you may have seen it hovering in thick clouds of smoke above the otherwise pristine prairie or you may have seen it in your working-class father's face after an economic downturn. No matter how you encounter it, the issue—coal power—is very likely to garner a strong and emotional response. It does not deserve one. In 2005, Sunflower Electric Power Corp. proposed a vast expansion of the coal-fired power plant in Holcomb, Kan. Since then, there has been a whirlwind of controversy in Topeka, Holcomb and across Kansas surrounding this proposed project. Liberal activists and lawmakers are crying foul (air) while conservatives are saying that the environmental concerns of a dirty power source should be secondary to Kansas' economy. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has voiced her opposition to the project, but is letting the courts and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment decide whether it is environmentally responsible to build the plants. But no matter how partisan politicians want to make the issue, it is possible to take a rational, fact-based approach to the situation. The proposed Holcomb expansion would be a state-of-the-art coal-fired power source, generating 1,400 megawatts of electricity, although only about 15 percent of that would stay in Kansas (most of it would go to Colorado's front range megalopolis, which understandably has higher power consumption than the sparsely-populated plains of Kansas). If approved, it would go online in 2013. The main problem with a coal power plant are emissions of carbon dioxide, which has been implicated as the largest contributing factor to global warming, and lower, but still toxic, emissions of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and mercury. The latter argument is a red herring—because of new technology and regulations, there would actually be lower mercury emissions at the new expanded plant than there are currently at the smaller plant. But carbon dioxide is a real issue. While the actual emissions of the proposed plant would be fairly low and well within federal regulations (they have to be or else face huge fines from the government), any new carbon dioxide emissions are inherently a bad thing, even in western Kansas, where there are no urban smog traps. Even small coal stations have a negative cumulative effect on global climate change. So how do we move forward with energy production while still keeping the economy and the environment afloat? What hasn't been mentioned much in this debate are the alternatives to antiquated coal power. Westar Energy, a company based in Topeka, recently announced a $500 million plan to build three wind farms in Kansas that would produce 500 megawatts of power by 2010. Endorsed by Gov. Sebelius, raising the capital for the project would require a small $2 monthly charge for Westar customers, which includes Lawrence. It is well worth $2 a month to provide clean energy for Kansas. But 500 megawatts is not 1,400. How, then, to provide the other necessary energy needed for a growing national population? There are two main ways. The first is old fashioned: save energy. Turn your air conditioner down, turn off lights when not using them and ride your bike around town. It's very simple, and yet few people actually make a concerted effort to reduce their energy consumption. The second way is a taboo term for many people: nuclear power. But this isn't the 1970s. Nuclear power is getting cheaper and more efficient every day, and the technological advances since Three Mile Island have made nuclear reactors extremely safe and fail-proof. The chances of a nuclear accident are much smaller than the very real possibility that continued unmitigated fossil fuel use will leave disastrous problems for future generations. There is a growing number of entrepreneurial companies buying up unused nuclear plants and getting them back online cheaply. This is an option that has not been widely discussed in America, but should be, as the rest of the world is already on board with nuclear power. For example, 78 percent of France's energy comes from nuclear reactors, sharply reducing its dependence on that sinister petroleum product-oil. It is only America that has an irrational fixation against nuclear energy. Unless your grandmother died at Chernobyl, there is very little reason to oppose building new nuclear power plants. NOW THAT YOU'VE READ THE OPINION PAGE, HAVE AN OPINION? The proposed coal plant in Holcomb is not as bad as the environmental doomsday theorists make it out to be, but still, it is 2007. Building the plant would be a step, albeit a small one, in the wrong direction. And we should be working, at every opportunity we have, to make the world greener, and less black. Let us start with this. Contact your representative and let them know that you support alternative energy sources for Kansas. Petterson is a Prairie Village junior in English. TALK TO US Erick R.

On any given play, one must strike a delicate balance: stay alert to stop the run while respecting the opponent's ability to throw the deep ball. One misstep or mental mistake can turn a modest six yard gain into a 60-yard touchdown pass. Needless to say, throwing a true freshman starting cornerback could be a dangerous proposition. But so far this season, Kansas coach Mark Mangino hasn't been burned by his decision to start freshman cornerback Chris Harris. "He's just done a phenomenal job," Mangino said. "To come in here and essentially win the corner position. The way he did it — he showed a lot of enthu- Chris Harris The Bixby, Okla., native has played more like a senior than a freshman, securing the job and making opponents pay for throwing away from the Jayhawks' star cornerback, junior Talib. In his first six games manning the right side of the secondary, Harris has made 30 tackles — fourth on the team Size: 6-foot,180 pounds preseason, Mangino and his staff looked for a replacement before naming Harris the starter about a week ahead of the team's first game.

Last year, Blake Bueltel left the program early in the season, leaving Anthony Webb to fend for himself as the starter. Despite arriving at Kansas as a highly touted recruit, Webb was overmatched and undersized. His inexperience, coupled with injuries to other defensive backs, made for a porous pass defense — the worst in the nation. The year before that, a young cornerback named Qaib Talib stepped in opposite of Charles Gorden When projected starter Kendrick Harper injured his hand in August, creating an eerily similar situation to 2006, fans filled message boards with panic and media predicted the team's demise. Throughout the 16 ion. As impressive as his numbers have looked so far, the freshman is just starting to settle in. Jon Goering/KANSAN "Ive come a long way from the first game until the Baylor game," Harris said. "Last game I felt like I was using my best technique since the get-go, so it finally came together and I'm feeling very comfortable right now" BREAKOUT PLAYER AN UNHERALDED RECRUIT Less than a year ago, Harris was not a surefire prospect to immediately contribute to a Division I program. Because of his small size — listed at 6-foot but self-admittedly 5-10 — some big-time programs such as Oklahoma and Oklahoma State shied away from recruiting Harris. Arkansas showed some interest, but it wasn't until Kansas offered Harris a scholarship late last winter that second-tier schools such as Iowa State and Tulsa made pushes to sign him. "He's a great kid who's not scared at all or intimidated about his age or inexperience," Stuckey said. "He knows that on the football Harris decided Kansas was the right school for him after he spent his official visit shadowing sophomore free safety Darrell Stuckey. Meeting all of the players and spending time with Stuckey convinced Harris to become a Jayhawk, Harris said. Since sliding into his starting spot, Harris has not disappointed Stuckey. field you're just a player and that's all that matters. There are no excuses on the field? Though not the most acclaimed prospect in the nation or even in his home state, Harris has become one of the best young players in the Big 12 conference and stood as an exception to the rule; a successful freshman cornerback. The coaches who chose to pass on the Jayhawks' youngest star could soon regret their decision when they face Kansas. "I've got something to prove," Harris said. "I've got to prove myself every day like I've basically been proving myself my whole life. I had to prove myself to everybody here and I definitely want to prove myself to all those other people." Edited by Ashlee Kieler LAPTRO 91 3 27 16 VOLLEYBALL Kansas faces unbeaten, unchallenged Nebraska KANSAS KANS. Mobersley 12 BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Twenty minutes after Kansas' 3-0 loss to No.1 Nebraska on Sept. 26, Jenna Kaiser stood in front of a handful of reporters at the Horesji Family Athletics Center. Wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, with sweat still drying on her face, Kaiser, a freshman outside hitter, tried to convey to the reporters the challenge of going from high school volleyball in Wichita to playing the No. 1 team in the country. "Is this the best team you've ever played against?" a reporter asked. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Just as the question was asked, Sarah Pavan, a 6-foot-5 right side hitter for Nebraska and the reigning national player of the year, exited the visitors' locker room. Kansas will try to derail No. 1 Nebraska's quest for a second straight national championship at 6 p.m. Saturday. Nebraska won the last meeting 3-0. Kaiser is only 20 matches into her young college volleyball career, and although Nebraska is undoubtedly the best team she has seen than fan, there's a chance Nebraska could be more than that. Nebraska might be the best team Kaiser will ever see. The murmurs and questions have already started among coaches and reporters familiar with the NCAA volleyball scene. How good is this Nebraska team? Could it be the greatest NCAA volleyball team of all time? "They're the best," Kaiser said, pausing a moment to glance at Pavan as she walked by. "They're the best I've ever seen." Nebraska is certainly making its case. When Kansas (10-10, 3-7 Big 12) travels to Lincoln this Saturday to play defending national champion Nebraska (17-0, 10-0 Big 12) at 6 p.m., it will face a team that has put together one of the most impressive seasons in NCAA history. Not only is Nebraska ranked No. 1 and undefeated with 11 matches to go, but more impressively, the Cornhuskers have dropped only one game all season, sweeping 16 of their 17 matches 3-0. Nebraska has a 51-1 game record this season and a 30-0 record in the Big 12. The Huskers dropped their only game in a 3-1 win against No. 7 UCLA. There's more. With its win against Missouri on Wednesday night, Nebraska improved to 83-3 since 2005, when Nebraska finished as national runner-up. Nebraska holds a 64-match home winning streak, and has won 27 matches in a row, dating back to "We see a lot of physical teams. We try to play as tough of preseason schedule as we can. And I haven't team as physical as Nebraska, or play defense like Nebraska." Aiu said. "They really are the complete package." PLACE IN HISTORY Aiu has been at Colorado for 11 seasons, and he can't remember a volleyball team this complete. a 3-2 loss at Colorado last November. With Nebraska playing in a different stratosphere from the rest of the Big 12, the Cornhuskers will find themselves battling less against the league and more against history. Only three teams in NCAA volleyball history have gone undefeated and won a national championship. USC went 35-0 in 2003, Nebraska finished 34-0 in 2000, and Long Beach State finished 36-0 in 1998. The 1998 national player of the year and Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor was the star of the 1998 Long Beach State team. "That seems like a long time ago" Colorado coach Pai Aiu said. Aiu said Nebraska definitely needed to be in the conversation with the best teams of all time. A LITTLE LUCK MIXED IN That this Nebraska team is even together took a little bit of good fortune. In 2005, then junior outside hitter Christina Houghtelling led Nebraska to the national title game and was named the American Volleyball Coaches Association's national player of the year. The following summer, Houghtelling was forced to undergo surgery on her right shoulder and left knee. She took a medical redshirt and sat out all of 2006. With Houghtelling out, Pavan, then a junior, stepped in and took Nebraska one victory further in 2006. Pavan earned AVCA national player of the year and led Nebraska to the 2006 national title. Now Houghtettling and Pavan are both back as seniors playing alongside three other AVCA All-Americans — senior Tracy Stalls, junior Jordan Larson and sophomore Rachel Holloway. "I think what they've got is great seniors in Pavan, Houghtelling and Stalls." Bechard said Kansas coach Ray Bechard thought the 2005 Nebraska team was the best Big 12 team hed seen, but now he might be changing his mind. Kansas junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart has played against some top volleyball programs. Her first two seasons were at West Coast conference power Long Beach State. But even Uhart said she'd never played against a team like the Nebraska team she saw earlier this season. "Every single player on their team is dominant," Uhart said. "Some of the other teams I've played against like USC — we played Stanford — they have one or two dominant players, but Nebraska is stacked." The murmurs will continue as long as Nebraska keeps winning. Colorado's Aiu said no secret existed about how to beat them. "You just got to make them play," And said. "You have to give them opportunities to make mistakes, and try not to shoot yourself in the foot to often." So as Nebraska attempts to stay on its historic course, Kansas has an opportunity on Saturday to put up a roadblock. Kaiser, Uhart and the rest of the Jayhawks will attempt to put a blemish on the untarnished record of the best team they've ever seen. Edited by Tara Smith game preview Kansas hasn't beaten Nebraska since 1975, losing 78 straight to its northern neighbor. This season Nebraska features one of the most dangerous lineups in NCAA history with five returning All-Americans Sarah Pavan, senior right side hitter, was the AVCA National Player of the Year and the Big 12 Female Athlete of the Year In 2006. Christina Houghttelling, senior outside hitter, was the 2005 AVCA National Player of the Year, but missed all of last season with injuries. Tracy Stalls, senior middle blocker, was an AVCA second-team All-American in 2006, is one of the most talented middle blockers in the Big 12. Stalls was also named first-team All-Big 12 in 2006. Jordan Larson, junior outside hitter, was all-Big 12 and an All-American in 2006. The scary part is she might be Nebraska's best player. Rachel Holloway, sophomore setter, became only the second setter to lead the team to a national title. She was a third team All-American and first-team All-Big 12.

Two will meet in Columbia, Mo., on Saturday. Red Raider quarterback Graham Harrell and Tiger quarterback Chase Daniel have combined to throw for more than 5,000 yards this season. Harrell and Daniel each has his fair share of outstanding weapons on the offensive side of the ball. Harrell's favorite target is freshman wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who leads the nation in scoring, receptions and receiving yards. Daniel frequently looks toward tight ends Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman, two of the nation's best. With so much firepower on both offenses, the winning team will likely be the one that avoids turnovers. KANSAS STATE (4-2) AT OKLAHOMA STATE (4-3) Kansas State's James Johnson and Oklahoma State's Dantrell Savage were the Big 12 Conference's most impressive running backs last weekend. Savage gouged the Nebraska defense for 212 yards and a touchdown while Johnson embarrassed Colorado with 159 yards and two touchdowns. The two will face significantly better rushing defenses this weekend. Senior middle linebacker Justin Roland leads a strong rotation of linebackers for the Wildcats with seven tackles per game. Oklahoma State sophomore linebacker Patrick Lavine has transformed into one of the conference's best as a fierce run stopper. The Cowboys lead the all-timeeries by 10 games. NO.17 AUBURN (5-2) AT NO.4 LSU (6-1) The annual battle between the two Southeastern Conference teams with the nickname "Tigers" has showcased defense and close games the past three years. Neither team has scored more than 20 points or won by more than four in that span. There's no reason to believe this weekend's game will be any different. LSU quarterback Matt Flynn has struggled with his accuracy and is only completing 53 percent of his passes. Despite the strong play of backup Ryan Perrillow, Flynn remains the starter. Left without a top-shelf offensive line and his leading receiver from last year, Auburn quarterback Brandon Cox has thrown seven interceptions and only four touchdowns. The nation's two best defensive linemen will play in this game as LSU senior Glenn Dorsey faces off against Auburn senior Quentin Groves. NO. 15 FLORIDA (4-2) AT NO. 8 KENTUCKY (5-1) After last week's monumental victory against LSU in Lexington, Ky., 22 people were arrested in the celebrating that ensued. If the Wildcats beat the Gators this weekend, expect that number to skyrocket. The last time Kentucky beat Florida was 1986, one year before Emmitt Smith's freshman season as a Gator. This year looks to be as good of a chance as ever for coach Rich Brooks' Wildcats. New defensive coordinator Steve Brown has turned Kentucky's defense from laughable to respectable in one year. Led by sophomore cornerbacks Trevard Lindley and Paul Warford, the Wildcats rank 17th in the nation in passing-efficiency defense. They will prove to be formidable foes for Gator quarterback Tim Tebow, who is completing 65 percent of his passes with 13 touchdowns and only three interceptions on the season. NO.12 CALIFORNIA (5-1) AT UCLA (4-2) Last year UCLA ruined in-state rival USC's season with an upset at its home stadium, the Rose Bowl. This year, it looks to do the same to its other in-state rival, California. Bruin senior defensive end Bruce Davis is eighth in the nation with 6.5 sacks. UCLA will likely send a variety of blitzes in an attempt to startle Golden Bear backup freshman quarterback Kevin Riley. Despite a miscue in the final play of the game where Riley failed to stop the clock, he played well in his first collegiate start. The Bruins offense starts with running back Kahlil Bell, who is averaging more than five yards per carry, opening up the pass. OTHER GAMES: NO. 5 OKLAHOMA (6-1) AT IOWA STATE (1-6) The Cyclones' three Big 12 losses are by an average margin of 32 points. Behind the nation's 115thranked scoring offense, Iowa State will be lucky to stay that close to the Sooners in the first quarter. TEXAS A&M (5-2) AT NEBRASKA (4-3) The coaches of these two teams are under more pressure than anyone in the nation to win. Aggie coach Dennis Franchione was publicly admonished by A&M officials last week for illegally selling information through a newsletter. Cornhusker coach Bill Callahan feels the heat after Nebraska fired its athletic director earlier this week. NO. 22 TEXAS (5-2) AT BAYLOR (3-4) It was a tumultuous Saturday for the Bears last weekend. After returning home from a 48-point loss to Kansas, Baylor offensive line coach Eric Schnupp was issued a citation for urinating on a local bar. A game against the Longhorns might make matters worse. MICHIGAN STATE (5-2) AT NO. 1 OHIO STATE (7) Michigan State running back Javon Ringer averages more than seven yards per carry and will lead a Spartan surge to dethrone the topranked Buckeyes. VANDERBILT (3-3) AT NO. 6 SOUTH CAROLINA (6-1) South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier has never lost a game to the Commodores despite meeting them 14 times in his career. MISSISSIPPI STATE (4-3) AT NO. 9 WEST VIRGINIA (5-1) NO.10 OREGON (5-1) AT WASHINGTON (2-4) The Mountaineers marched into Starkville, Miss., last year and embarrassed the Bulldogs with a 28-point victory. But Mississippi State looks much improved in 2007. The Duck pass rush has been relentless behind junior defensive end Nick Reed and freshman defensive end Kenny Rowe. NO. 14 USC (5-1) AT NOTRE DAME (1-6) The Trojans haven't quite lived up to their superstar expectations this season, but they look like an All-Star team compared to the lowly Irish. NO. 19 VIRGINIA (6-1) AT MARYLAND (4-2) Led by top a NFL prospect, senior defensive end Chris Long, the Cavaliers have consistently found ways to eke out victories. Four of their six wins have come by less than a touchdown. NO.21 TENNESSEE (4-2) AT ALABAMA (5-2) Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban will make his first appearance in the annual rivalry game dubbed "The Third Saturday in October" and said it would be one of the most physical games of the year. NO. 23 CINCINNATI (6-1) AT PITTSBURGH (2-4) The Bearcats rely on jumping to quick starts, outscoring teams 65-19 in the first quarter this season. NO. 25 MICHIGAN (5-2) AT ILLINOIS (5-2) Behind holes created by senior tackle Jake Long, Wolverine running back Mike Hart leads the nation with 150 rushing yards per game.

This weekend will be the last time the Jayhawks will be traveling during their regular season. Friday, the team will face off against the Buffaloes at 4 p.m. in Boulder, Colo. On Sunday, the Jayhawks will meet the Longhorns in at 1 p.m. in Austin, Texas. The Jayhawks tied Oklahoma State last weekend 2-2 through two overtime periods. Kansas lost the second game of the weekend to Oklahoma, 2-1. — Edited by Amelia Freidline Kansas has played conference rival Colorado twelve times, and the Buffalooes lead the record 6-5-1 and are 3-2 against the Jayhawks at home. Colorado took home a victory after playing Baylor last weekend 3-2 but fell to the Texas A&M Aggies 4-2. This season, the Buffalooes are at a 7-4-3 overall record, and are 3-2 in conference. The Soccer America Poll ranked the Longhorns No. 1 in the country last Monday. They have since fallen to No. 6 after losing to Texas A&M 2-0. Texas has scored 25 goals this season, is 9-1-2 overall, and is 2-0-1 in conference play. Seven of the team's nine victories have been at home this season, which is where the Jayhawks will meet them on Sunday. Kansas has only won one out of twelve games against Texas. They also tied once.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY,OCTOBER 19,2007 SPORTS 5B >> FANTASY FOOTBALL Players to watch,avoid during weekend ASSOCIATED PRESS New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees finally broke his season-long slump against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Look for Brees to play well while he will face a porous Falcons pass defense this weekend. Here are the players who should shine in this week. end's games, and those who will fall short of expectations. PETRASO 50 THE BEST New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees: The New Orleans offense was struggling before this past weekend, but everything started to click against Seattle. This weekend Brees and the Saints face a Falcons defense that just gave 303 passing yards to Giants quarterback Eli Manning. Brees should have a lot of opportunities to throw the ball in the Saints explosive offense on Sunday, which could lead to a lot of points. New York Jets running back Thomas Jones: The Jets running back woke up last Sunday, running for 130 yards. Cincinnati's defense is nonexistent. The Jets' lack of a Projected stats ASSOCIATED PRESS TOP PERFORMERS Drew Brees 26/37 314 passing yards 2 touchdowns Thomas Jones 21 carries 129 rushing yards 1 touchdown Joey Galloway 8 catches 118 receiving yards 1 touchdown POOR PERFORMERS Ben Roethlisberger notthisberger 14/22 186 passing yards 2 interceptions Cedric Benson 13 carries 40 rushing yards 1 fumble BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM Larry Fitzgerald 4 catches 23 receiving yards proven passing game will put most of the offensive load on Jones, who should run all over the Cincinnati defense. Tampa Bay wide receiver Joey Galloway: Tampa Bay has been depleted at running back, leading to the trade with the Chiefs for Michael Bennett. Jeff Garcia has proven to be a valuable pick up for the Buccaneers, and he has Galloway, who is one of the most underrated receivers in the NFL The Buccaneers face the Lions, who have the 30th-ranked passing defense in the NFL, this Sunday.Name one of the Lions cornerbacks. Exactly. Galloway will have a big game on Sunday. Seattle Defense: The Seahawks stumbled against New Orleans last Sunday but had a lot of chances to win. They will play a Rams team this weekend that hasn't been able to generate any offense this season. Injuries to Steven Jackson and Marc Bulger have been key factors to the Rams' lack of offense. With Gus Frerotte at the helm at quarterback for the Rams, the Seahawks should be able to stop the Rams offense dead in its tracks and cause a lot of turnovers. THE WORST Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger: Pittsburgh is not a pass-oriented offense. The Steelers rely on the running game for most of their offensive production. That is a good thing because Pittsburgh will face the number-one passing defense on Sunday in the Denver Broncos. Champ Bailey is arguably the best cornerback in the league and the addition of Dre' Bly to the Denver secondary made it that much more formidable. Roethlisberger will struggle on Sunday, but it will be up to the running game to carry the Steelers. Chiacgo running back Cedric Benson: The Bears thought Benson was ready to step up and replace Thomas Jones as the starting running back in Chicago. It looks like they were wrong. Benson has only 370 yards rushing through the first six games, and he is only averaging 3.1 yards per carry. Chicago will play Philadelphia on Sunday, and the Eagles have the ninth best rushing defense in the league. The Bears and Benson will have a tough time getting any momentum going in the running game on Sunday. Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald: The Arizona Cardinals are tied for the lead in the NFC West, but they have had their share of struggles this season. Both Matt Leinart and Kurt Warner have gone down with injuries, leaving the Cardinals to start Tim Rattay at quarterback this weekend. Rattay was just signed before last weekend's game and does not completely know the offense yet. This and the fact that the Redskins, Arizona's opponent on Sunday, have the fifth best passing defense in the NFL will create problems for Fitzgerald. Miami defense: The Dolphins are pretty much guaranteed to fall to 0-7 this weekend. They returned the defensive player-of-the-year in Jason Taylor, but they just haven't played as well as last season. The Dolphins play the team with the best overall offense in the NFL on Sunday. The Patriots barely ran the ball last weekend against the Cowboys and still put 48 points on the scoreboard. The Dolphins are sure to have problems stopping the Patriots this weekend. - Edited by Amelia Freidline Tennis players advance to final 64-player round After taking first place in the Flight E bracket at the Hoosier Classic in Indiana, Yuliana Svistun has continued her winning ways by advancing to the main singles draw of the ITA Central Region Championships in Tulsa, Okla. Svistun will join the 64-player The Ufa, Russia, junior needed to win two matches to advance to the main singles draw. She did just that by beating Air Force's Christine Abayan 4-6, 6-0, 1-0 (5) and then Colorado's Jendian Franzi 6-3, 6-2 to qualify. Shelby Svistun TENNIS qualified for the main draw. singles bracket, which opens play on Thursday. The bracket includes fellow Kansas players Elizaveta Avdeeva and Kuni-gunda Dorn, who already Junior Edina Horvath and freshman Maria Martinez also participated in qualifying singles, but each found themselves one win short of advancing to the main draw. Horvath narrowly missed qualifying losing a close three-set match to Colorado's Gleisy Torres Torres 6-3, 3-6, 1-0 (8). CLUB VOLLEYBALL Club team plays host to 'Rock Chalk Festival' Later this week Avdeeva and Horvath also will defend their doubles title from last year's tournament. They will be in a good position to win the event again, as they have been given the No. 2 seed. Avdeeva and Horvath have already found doubles success this season by taking second place in the Cissie Leary Tournament in the first event of the season. The Kansas club volleyball team will begin the 2007-2008 season on Saturday with the seventh annual "Rock Chalk Festival" tournament at Robinson Center. The Kansas A team will start the day against border state rival Nebraska at 9 a.m. Pool play games will take place from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and after the seeding is determined, the championship round will take place. Kansas will be represented by three teams on Saturday. The teams will be compete against 11 different clubs including: Kansas State's A and B teams, Drake, Nebraska, Truman State's A and B teams, Colorado State's A and B teams, Arkansas, Minnesota, and MNSU-Mankato. MLB Pat Tefft SWIMMING Swimmers get feet wet in first meet of season who hope to contribute to the Jayhawks' success this season. After more than a month of practice, the Kansas swimming and diving team will see its first competition today at the Big 12 Relays in Ames, Iowa. The relays will continue tomorrow at Northern Iowa. The dive team will compete in an exhibition against Missouri, Iowa State and Texas A&M. The team, which is hoping to build on a third place finish at the Big 12 Championships last season, began regular practices Sept. 10 after completing a month-long series of offseason workouts that began in August. The Jayhawks placed fourth at the Big 12 Relays a year ago and steadily improved as a team throughout the season. Two swimmers qualified and competed in the NCAA Championships in Minneapolis following the regular season and the team's finish at the Big 12 Championships. A challenging schedule awaits the Jayhawks this year, which includes a tough conference schedule that complements high-level competitions at the Kenyon Nike Invite and the Houston Diving Invitational, both of which are in November. They will also host a meet against Missouri next Friday that will provide a good test for the squad and a chance for redemption. Last year, the Tigers defeated the Jayhawks in Columbia, Mo., before Kansas responded by beating out Missouri for third place in the conference later in the season. Although the squad lost several team members to graduation last year, it has welcomed nine athletes Scott Toland Joe Torre ends speculation leaves after 12 years --- FRI: (4:30) 7:00 9:30 SAT: (2:00) 9:30 SUN: (2:00) 9:30 TWO DAYS IN PARIS LIBERTY HALL CINEMA 644 Massachusetts Lawrence.K R ACCESSIBILITY INFO (785) 749-1972 (785) 749-1912 * www.libertvhall.net WEEKEND TIMES ONLY! • ADULTS $7.50 • $5.50(MATINEE) SENIOR Longtime New York Yankees manager Joe Torre rejected a 1-year, $5 million contract with the team Thursday, ending his 12-year career with the franchise.

The team is at or near the top of the Big 12 Conference in every major statistical category and is one of the nation's most well-rounded teams. The Jayhawks seemed to have solved some of their road woes in a 30-24 victory at Kansas State two weeks ago but visiting Colorado has never been easy for the team — the last time Kansas left Boulder with a victory was 1995. BY THE NUMBERS (2007 stats national ranking) 50. 3ppg — 3rd scoring offense COUNTDOWN TO KICK-OFF 297ypg-16th passing offense 218. 8.ypg - 13th rushing offense 9. 5ppg - 2nd scoring defense 160ypg - 7th passing defense 80ypg — 8th rushing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Senior defensive tackle James McClinton. Colorado quarterback Cody Hawkins is a redshirt freshman with seven games of collegiate experience. So far this season, Hawkins has not always made the best decisions when put under pressure, throwing 12 interceptions. McClinton McClinton could be the source of some serious pressure Saturday. The defensive tackle has earned a spot among the nation's elite this season by getting off the line of scrimmage with unbelievable speed. QUESTION MARKS Will the thin air affect the jayhawks? Mangino and senior tight end Derek Fine both said playing at approximately 6,000 feet above sea level should not affect Kansas. > How will the Kansas of- fensive line fare? The Jayhawks' interior offensive linemen have performed well all season long, but they face a stern test in Colorado defensive tackle George Hypolite. The 6-foot-1, 285-pound lineman is an absolute freak in terms of speed and strength and could catch Kansas off-guard.

Kansas 6-0,2-0 Big 12 Conference OFFENSE Against Baylor last weekend, for the first time all season, the Kansas offense looked out of sync. The Bears' 4-2-5 defense gave the KU receivers fits, and they didn't help their own cause much by dropping a number of catchable passes. Despite the minor hiccups, sophomore running back Jake Sharp and sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing kept the offense above water, and Kansas ended up scoring 58 points — a school record in conference play. ★★★★☆ DEFENSE The Jawhack defense has been nearly flawless this season, and it's only getting better. The secondary shut down a potent Baylor passing attack last Saturday as freshman cornerback Chris Harris continued to evolve into a star, recording his first career interception. The front seven has been able to apply consistent pressure to opposing quarterbacks all season long, and senior defensive tackle James McClinton is an absolute beast against both the run and the pass. Through six games, the defense has been Kansas' most valuable asset. ★★★★ SPECIAL TEAMS The punting picture got even more confusing last weekend as sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier punted three times in place of senior punter Kyle Tucker. After an exceptional sophomore season and a decent junior campaign, Tucker has lost his touch in the midst of what coach Mark Mangino called a slump. But the kick-return game has been steady for Kansas, especially junior wide receiver Marcus Herford, who has returned two kickoffs for touchdowns this ★★★☆☆ After a 4-0 nonconference season in which the Jayhawks completely dismantled and overmatched all of their opponents, it seemed the team couldn't get much hotter. Turns out they could. After defeating Kansas State in Manhattan for the first time since 1989, Kansas thoroughly embarrassed Baylor last weekend, stretching the team's winning streak to six games and pushing Kansas to No.13 in the BCS rankings. It's been a dozen years since Kansas football has enjoyed this kind of success. MOMENTUM ★★★★ ★★★★★ COACHING Add another tally to the ever growing list of great decisions by Mangino this season: Removing freshman wide receiver Raimond Pendleton from the role of punt returner was a necessary move because sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb looks a little less clueless — but a bit too reckless — while fielding punts. Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner also has been scheming hard in recent weeks, devising a new and exciting punt formation that further utilizes Kerry Meier's athleticism and makes coaches think twice before sending their punt-block defense onto the field. ★★★★★ Colorado 4-3,2-1 Big 12 Conference ★★★☆★ Senior running back Hugh Charles missed two games early in the season and not coincidentally, those games accounted for the lowest production from the Colorado offense. Charles may be one of the nation's best-kept secrets as his blistering speed to the edges has led him to an average of more than six yards per carry. Freshman running back Demetrius Sumler adds depth but hasn't showed much explosiveness. Freshman wide receivers Scotty McKnight and Josh Smith have worked their way to the top of the depth chart and serve as quarterback Cody Hawkins' favorite targets. Hawkins first season running the offense has been impressive at times. He averages 240 passing yards per game but has more interceptions than touchdowns. OFFENSE DEFENSE ★★★☆☆ If any linebacker in the nation aspires to be better than Buffalo senior Jordon Dixon, they have some catching up to do. Dizon leads the nation with 97 tackles through seven games. He also can make an impact blitzing and isn't a liability in pass coverage. Senior cornerback Terrence Wheatley is the second stand-out player on the Colorado defense. Wheatley ranks third in the Big 12 with nine passes defended despite teams often throwing away from him. Most of the passing yards gained on the CU defense come from opposing quarterbacks throwing at the other defensive backs. George Hypolite, a 285-pound defensive tackle, uses his deceptive quickness to rush the quarterback and hunt down running backs. SPECIAL TEAMS Senior kicker Kevin Eberhart became Boulder's town hero after booting a career-high 45-yard field goal to upset Oklahoma three weeks ago. Eberhart missed two field during, though, as sophomore Matt Dilallo hasn't been as efficient as he was last year. fect since. With playmakers Terrence Wheatley and Chase McBride handling return duties, Colorado has received consistent field position. It ranks only 64th in the nation in net hunting, though as sophomore. 31 Scott Webb ★★★☆☆ MOMENTUM Although the Buffaloes looked sloppy in a 47-20 loss to Kansas State last weekend, the team morale should still be high. At this point last year, Colorado's record was 1-6, and it was merely playing for respect. This season, the Buffaloes are playing for higher stakes: bowl eligibility and an outside shot at the Big 12 North. Add in that they get to play one of only six undefeated teams in the nation, at home no less, and the Buffaloes should be ecstatic. ★★★☆ COACHING Coach Dan Hawkins didn't get off to the start he envisioned last year when Colorado went 2-10 in his first season at the helm. But in his second year, the team seems to be more used to his style and schemes. Offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich's offense looks much improved as does Ron Collins' defense. But still, the coaching staff is only 6-13 overall at Colorado. ★★☆★★ Case Keefer CU KICK-OFF AT A GLANCE The Buffalooes return to the friendly confines of Folsom Field after two consecutive road games. Colorado won one and lost one on the trip. The last time it played at home, Colorado pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year by beating then-No. 3 Oklahoma 27-24 in the final seconds. BY THE NUMBERS (2007 stats — national ranking) — Asher Fusco 26. 14ppg - 66tn scoring offense 122. 29ypg-34th rushing offense 241. 43ypg-46th passing offense 24. 43ppg—47th scoring defense 122. 29ypg----34th rushing defense 207. 86ypg----39th passing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Senior linebacker Jordon S. PAREN Senior linebacker Jordon Dizon. Dixon has a tendency to turn the football field into his playground. He sprints to Dizon the ball and knocks down anyone and everyone in his way. By averaging 13.9 tackles per game, he's a lock for All-Big 12 honors and is an All-American candidate. The KU offense hasn't met a linebacker the caliber of Dizon, and he could give it fits. QUESTION MARKS How will they get pressure on Todd Reesing? The Buffaloes are last in the Big 12 with only eight sacks. George Hypolite is a fantastic pass rusher up front but doesn't have much help. Dizon also finds success when he blitzes, but he's too invaluable to the defense to send at the quarterback repeatedly. Will Colorado win the turnover battle?

Boston charged to its third straight win, completing yet another October comeback by overpowering the Cleveland Indians 11-2 Sunday night in Game 7 of the AL championship series behind a new pair of rookie Sox. Matsuzaka pitched five solid innings, Pedroia drove in five runs and the Red Sox — helped by a key blunder by an Indians base coach — finished off their rally from a 3-1 deficit. Having ended their 86-year title drought in 2004 after digging out of a 3-0 hole against the Yankees in the ALCS, the Red Sox now have a date with Colorado in the World Series. B FASTON The Red Sox outscored the Indians 30-5 in the last three games. "We started to click at the right time. When your team's back is against the wall, it shows the type of ballclub we have. We're down 3-1 and we believed." Pedroa said. The Rockies, who have won 10 in a row and 21 of 22, will come back from a record eight days off for Game 1 at Fenway Park on Wednesday night. While Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz and ALCS MVP Josh Beckett helped the Red Sox win their 12th pennant, the Indians only added more misery to a city that hasn't celebrated a World Series championship since 1948.

ASSOCIATED PRESS The Boston Red Sox Dustin Pedroda hits a two-run home run off Gleaveal Indians' Rafael Betancourt in the seventh inning of Game 7 of the ALCS Sunday at Fenway Park in Boston. Boston kept the bases busy early against Westbrook, but three double plays in the first four innings kept the Indians in the game while their starter settled down. The Red Sox scored once in each of the first three innings, and Matsuzaka retired the first eight batters he faced. Cleveland cut the deficit to 3-2 through five, then had a chance to tie it in the seventh when Red Sox shortstop Julio Lugo dropped Lofton's seemingly harmless popup in shallow left. Lugo drifted back, tracking the ball with his glove in the air and holding off incoming left fielder Ramirez with his right hand. But the shortstop let the ball bounce off his glove, and Lofton was safe on second. Franklin Gutierrez hit a sharp grounder over third base that bounced off the photographer's box in front of the grandstand and into shallow left. But Skimmer held up both hands for the speedy Lofton, and the 40-year-old out- Lofton looked back for the ball and, seeing it in no man's land in shallow left, snapped his head back to stare at Skinner. Papelbon closed, sending the sold-out Fenway into a frenzy.

Unflappable and close to unhittable, Beckett shut down Cleveland twice, including a victory in Game 5 that started Boston's comeback from a 3-1 deficit in the best-of-seven series. Beckett wasn't even needed in Sunday night's 11-2 Game 7 victory over the Indians and will be well rested when he faces the Colorado Rockies and Jeff Francis in Wednesday night's World Series opener at Fenway Park. "I'm looking forward to it" Beckett said. "I'd like to have another ring." He had a 1.93 ERA in going 2-0 against the Indians, allowing three runs in 14 innings. He's 3-0 with a 1.17 ERA in three postseason starts — after becoming baseball's first 20 game winner since 2005 — perhaps the biggest reason the Red Sox are back in the World Series for the second time in four seasons. "He's the best pitcher I've ever seen," Boston pitching coach John Farrell said. "He's a special, special pitcher." Beckett gave a lot of the credit to his catcher, Jason Varitek. "I don't know if we'll cut it in half or not." Beckett said of the award. "It's a team deal. I don't even know how I'm sitting here holding this. There's a lot of MVPs in here to After center fielder Coco Crisp made a running catch on Casey Blake's drive for the final out, Beckett ran in from bullpen, raised his arms and hugged third baseman Mike Lowell, his former Florida teammate, in the infield. Beckett offered to pitch in relief on two days' rest — he did that for the Marlins in Game 7 of the 2003 NL championship series — but the Red Sox didn't need him. At home on the mound, he was less comfortable in the unfamiliar confines of the bullpen. me." "He was like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers," reliever Mike Timlin said.

MLB WINTER BREAK PARTY DEPOSITS DUE NOW! "I have nothing to hide," Byrd said Sunday about two hours before Game 7 of the AL championship series against the Boston Red Sox. "Everything has been done out in the open." BY TOM WITHERS Associated Press BOSTON — Cleveland Indians pitcher Paul Byrd acknowledged using human growth hormone for a medical condition, but claims he never injected the banned drug without a doctor's prescription. Indians pitcher admits HGH use Byrd said he used banned drug with doctor's prescription Byrd, whose win in Game 4 of the ALCS moved the Indians within in one victory of the World Series, bought nearly $25,000 worth of HGH and syringes from 2002-05, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Sunday. Byrd, known for his old-school windup and savvy on the mound, purchased HGH from a Palm Beach, Fla., anti-aging clinic under investigation by authorities for possible illegal distribution of performance-enhancing drugs, the paper said. "I have never taken any hormones or any drugs not prescribed to me." Byrd said. Byrd was available to pitch out of the bullpen in Game 7, and was hoping his situation would not be a distraction for the Indians, who led the best-of-seven series 3-1 before losing the past two games. Standing in front of a media throng outside the Indians' clubhouse, Byrd said he has a pituitary gland condition that required him to take HGH. Pressed on when he was diagnosed and the nature of his condition, Byrd declined several times to give any details. HGH is banned by Major League Baseball and the International Olympic Committee. The Chronicle, citing an anonymous law enforcement source, said two of Byrd's prescriptions for HGH were not written by a physician. Byrd claims baseball officials have known that he's been taking the drug, which he said he has stored in clubhouse refrigerators. Byrd promised to address his situation in more detail once Game 7 is completed. However, it created a circus-like atmosphere in the narrow passageways inside Fenway Park as Indians players had to step around reporters and camera crews on their way to the batting cages. After Byrd spoke for about 10 minutes, general manager Mark Shapiro addressed the media. Byrd spoke to his teammates before the game. Shapiro, who has known Byrd for 14 years, said he was not made aware of the pitcher's condition or the 36-year-old's use of HGH until Friday. "They understand the situation and we respect each other," Byrd said. "These guys have worked way too hard to let something like this distract them at the last minute."

"I'm going to try to make a play in any situation. Luckily we got some blocks, and things worked out." KANSAS 40 RIVERA 40 KANSAS Junior defensive lineman Todd Haselhorst yells in celebration after Kansas made a tackle in the first half of the game against Colorado Saturday at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo. The Kansas defense held Colorado to 130 yards and forced two turnovers during the first half. Before Reeing broke the ice with his 53-yard dash, each team struggled to fall into an offensive rhythm. On its first two drives combined, Kansas gained just 31 yards on 10 plays. Colorado enjoyed a bit more success on its first two possessions but turned the ball over deep in Kansas territory to set up Reesing's run and Kansas' first score. "We did an awesome job Anna Faltermeyer/KANSAN "It was either throw the ball away or try to make a play. I'm going to try to make a play in any situation." to drive them into their territory," Colorado freshman quarterback Cody Hawkins said. "But we had a fumble and a couple of dropped passes, and missed throws that killed drives. It was definitely a bummer." TODD REESING Sophomore quarterback DEFENSIVE FOOTBALL The Jayhawk offense appeared short on solutions for Colorado's defense for most of the first half, but the defense forced two turnovers and allowed just 130 yards of offense before halftime. In addition to senior running back Hugh Charles' first-quarter fumble, Colorado missed an opportunity to tie the game heading into halftime when Hawkins threw an interception with five seconds remaining in the first half. Kansas senior defensive tackle James McClinton snared it. McClinton made an awkward dash in the general direction of the Colorado goal line but quickly fumbled the ball in an unsuccessful attempt to lateral the ball. Unfortunately for the Buffalooes, McClinton's interception had taken them out of field goal Before the pick, the Buffaloes sat at the Jayhawks' 27-yard line, safely within field goal range, with time running out in the first half. On third-and-one, Hawkins threw a pass but failed to loft the ball above the outstretched arms of a Jayhawk defensive lineman. The ball floated in space for a split-second before range, and they returned to the locker room trailing 3-0 at halftime after a failed Hail Mary. After forcing one turnover in the first two games of the season, Kansas has forced eight in its last two contests. "We're playing a little better as we go on," junior linebacker Joe Mortensen said. "We're getting a little more pressure on the quarterback and we always fly around to the ball, so that helps us force turnovers." WINNING TURNOVERS The Jayhawks continued to use takeaways to their advantage in the second half. Nursing a scant 10-7 lead midway through the third quarter, Kansas needed to stop a Colorado offense that had driven 80 yards for a touchdown just two minutes earlier. Sophomore safety Justin Thornton provided that stop with an exceptional interception at the Colorado 37-yard line. The Jayhawks capitalized on Thornton's third interception of the season with a quick field goal to take a more comfortable 13-7 lead. of the season early in the fourth quarter, marching 94 yards on 15 plays and draining more than seven minutes from the clock. After the Kansas defense lent the offense a hand in the first three quarters, the offense returned the favor in the final 15 minutes of the game. The Jayhawks built one of their most impressive scoring drives A vast cast of characters contributed to Kansas' touchdown drive, which put the team ahead 19-7 with 10 minutes 17 seconds to play. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson carried the ball twice for 17 yards, sophomore running back Jake Sharp ran five times for 20 yards and Reeing completed all seven of his pass attempts, including a four-yard touchdown toss to Fine. Sharp had 53 rushing yards, and McAnderson had 44 of his own. GAME ON THE LINE But Kansas' work was not finished after the impressive touchdown drive. Colorado answered seven minutes later with a touchdown of its own to cut the margin to five points, 19-14, and took control of the football with 2:16 remaining. The Kansas defense was faced with two options: hold its ground or lose the game. It went above and beyond the call of duty, pushing Colorado back eight yards over the course of four plays. Hawkins could not connect with freshman wide receiver Josh Smith on fourth-and-15, turning the ball and the game over to the still-undefeated Javahawks. "It was great," junior cornerback Aqib Talib said. "The defense stepped up in the fourth quarter and showed the world what we can do" For the seventh consecutive game, Kansas displayed all the makings of a great football team. The offense endured more than 50,000 rampant Colorado fans, the coaching staff improvised masterfully and the defense stood up to intense late game pressure. Saturday's game may have been ugly, but Kansas left Folsom Field with something pretty — an unblemished 7-0 record. Edited by Matt Erickson "They came up to stop our quick slants, so it opened up the run game," Sharp said. "Me and Mac were able to get some things done because the line blocked great and I think we won up front today."

Sharp scored his sixth touchdown of the season during the game. He gained 53 yards on 15 carries. Anna Faltermieer/KANSAN ckeeferkansan.com BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado freshman quarterback Cody Hawkins tried to avoid showing his frustration and disappointment following Saturday's 19-14 loss to Kansas. When he first took the podium at the post-game press conference, he talked about how hard the Jayhawks played. With one word, he described the Buffaloes as "searching" But eventually, he couldn't hide his feelings. Colorado senior linebacker Jordon Dizon said the conversions not only controlled the clock but also frustrated the defense. Despite recording a team-high 12 tackles, the nation's leading tackler said the defense's third-down deficiencies were his fault. "I was probably about three plays away from walking in here with a big cheesy grin on my face and acting like it was the last day of school," Cody Hawkins said. "You go out and expect to win every game but when you lose, it hurts." "As a leader, I need to step up and make a play here and there, and I didn't as well so I put the blame solely on me," Dizon said. "As a leader, you have got to go up there and get people fired up and get people clued in on what we're going to do." Those three plays could have easily come from stopping the Jayhawks on third down. Kansas converted on seven of 16 third downs in its victory and controlled the clock in the final half by making big plays to keep alive. The noise provided from the Folsom Field crowd of 51,940 was electric going into the fourth quarter as 95 yards of grass lay ahead of sophomore quarterback Todd Reezing and the Kansas offense. Colorado downed a punt at the Kansas five vard line to end the third quarter. But Reasing and the Jayhaws marched down the field and silenced the crowd's roar. Even Colorado coach Dan Hawkins said he felt deflated after the drive. "You punt the ball, and you get them down there and are thinking. "What are the chances?" Dan Hawkins said. "But that's the hallmark of a good team — a mature team." Kansas went four-for-four on third-down conversions in that drive, which turned out to be its final and game-winning scoring drive. A plethora of Jayhawks contributed to the drive's third-down success by sustaining blocks, fighting for extra yards and running precise routes, but Reesing was always in some way involved. On a third-and-nine play from the Jayhawk 22-yard line, Reeing weaved his way in and out of defenders to pick up 17 yards and continue the drive. Four plays later on third-and-three, he made a textbook throw he needed to on the ground and the air to win the game." to junior receiver Dexton Fields for 17 yards that set up the eventual touchdown. "You see him run, and there's nothing you can do about it," Dizon said. "You get back, re-dial and then do it all over again for three downs. He's a great quarterback; he did what The Buffaloes also had their chances to convert in important situations. But Colorado went only five for 17 on third downs. Dan Hawkins said the statistic was one of the main reasons why his team couldn't pull View from press row out a victory. It was over when... Colorado quarterback Cody Hawkins' fourth-down pass fell incomplete with 1:46 remaining. Hawkins threw to freshman wide receiver Josh Smith deep down the left sideline. The freshman's throw was accurate but Kansas freshman cornerback Chris Harris distracted Smith and the ball fell harmlessly to the ground. After the failed fourth-down conversion, Kansas took control of the ball and ran out the clock. Game to remember... James Holt. The junior linebacker was all over the field Saturday, tracking down Colorado receivers and running backs. Holt recorded a career-high 15 tackles and made two tackles-for-loss. Holt and the rest of the Kansas linebackers did a great job containing Colorado senior running back Hugh Charles, who finished with just 39 yards on 11 carries. Colorado plays another offensively efficient team next week in Texas Tech. If they desire a different outcome, the Buffaloes must make plays on third downs — offensively and defensively. Game to forget... Patrick Resby, junior safety. Resby's two most notable missteps came on one drive in the third quarter. Trailing 3-0, Colorado lined up to punt on fourth-and-three at its own 38-yard line, but Resby committed a defensive delay of game penalty by entering the neutral zone in front of the long-snapper. The penalty gave Colorado a first down and new life. Three plays later, Hawkins pulled off a convincing fake and delivered a 27-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tyson DeVree, who should have been Resby's responsibility. Stat of the game... 14. The Colorado Buffaloes scored 14 points Saturday, a fact that takes on added significance because of coach Dan Hawkins' record when his team scores fewer than 20 points. In his time coaching FBS teams, Hawkins is 0-16 when his team does not reach the 20-point mark. At Colorado, Hawkins is 0-10 when posting less than 20 points. — Asher Fusco Football notes NOT CAMERA SHY Kansas didn't experience any stage fright Saturday, despite appearing on national television for just the second time this season and ESPN for the first time since 2005. After Saturday, Kansas is 4-4 in games broadcast on ESPN. One of the coolest parts about appearing on ESPN? The players got the chance to introduce their teammates to viewers near the beginning of the game. Team captains Brandon Tulhb Talib McAnderson and Aqib Talib handled the introductions for Kansas. Former Colorado Buffalo and now-Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby introduced the Buffaloes. The team will have another chance to shine in front of a wide audience this Saturday against Texas A&M. ESPN2 will broadcast the 6 p.m. game. ATTENDANCE The seats at Folsom Field remained empty in the minutes directly preceding the game, but as soon as the action started, Colorado fans filed in. The just-short-of-capacity crowd of 51,940 was extremely vocal for the duration of the game — much more so than the 50,924 Kansas State fans Kansas faced two weeks prior. The source of much of the excitement was Ralphie, a live bison that sprints across the field prior to the game. Saturday, Ralphie wore a special garment emblazoned with the words, "WELCOME PARENTS," to commemorate family weekend. Despite the presence of parents and intimidating mascots alike, Kansas fans held their own against their Colorado counterparts. A section of Jayhawk fans in the northwest corner of the stadium performed the Rock Chalk chant as Kansas ran out the clock and stuck around to cheer as the team boarded the buses. PERFECT WEATHER Saturday's 4:30 p.m. game time worked out beautifully. At kickoff, conditions in the foothills of the Rockies were nearly perfect 75 degrees with partly cloudy skies and a slight breeze. Temperatures stayed comfortable for the majority of the contest before plummeting to about 40 degrees by 10 p.m. Sunday brought some Colorado-like weather to the area, as heavy snow and freezing rain pelted Denver throughout the day. Trowleys SPECIAL TEAMS Tucker The Jayhawks' search for consistency in the punt game may have ended Saturday. Senior punter Kyle Tucker looked like the Kyle Tucker of old, booting five punts at 43.8 yards per punt. Last week, Tucker said he had discovered and corrected a mechanical flaw in his punting motion. Sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb enjoyed another uneventful game as Kansas' punt returner. Webb returned two punts for no yardage and called for a fair catch after failing to do so last week. Though Webb failed to advance the ball on either of his returns, he recorded one impressive stat: no fumbles. Senior kicker Scott Webb also did some impressive things in the thin air of Colorado, knocking one kickoff through the end zone and converting both of his field goal attempts. On the season, Webb is 11-of-12 on field goals and perfect on extra points. FLAWLESS With the victory, Kansas moved to 7-0 and continued to rewrite the school record book. The 7-0 start PETER C. HAMMER Mangino is the team's best since 1995 and is only the second such start since 1968. The seven-game winning streak is also the team's longest since 1995 and the two-game road winning streak is its best in 12 years. With the victory, coach Mark Mangino moved to 32-35 overall and 6-21 on the road as Kansas coach. To add some current-day context, Kansas is one of just five FBS teams remaining undefeated. The other four undefeated teams are Boston College, Ohio State, Hawaii, Arizona State. Saturday's game, Kansas trailed Colorado for less than two minutes, STAYING AHEAD continuing the lajawkys complete dominance of opponents in 2007. In 420 total minutes of game time, Kansas has only trailed for 20:07. In Reesing Despite the seesaw nature of A. C. A. total, Kansas has outscoored opponents 172-95 and outgained opponents 3,428 yards to 1,793 this season. THE RUNNING GAMES Jake Sharp recorded his first career start Saturday but struggled through one of his least productive games of the season. The sophomore running back ran 15 times for 53 yards, scored one touchdown and gained 18 yards on six catches. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson and sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing made some major contributions in the run game, as Reesing led the team with 84 rushing yards and McAnderson averaged 6.3 yards per carry. The game didn't go as smoothly for the Colorado running backs. Senior running back Hugh Charles, the Buffalooes best offensive threat, only managed 39 yards on 11 carries and fumbled at a crucial juncture in the third quarter. Backup running backs Brian Lockridge and Byron Ellis did not fare much better, combining for 35 yards on seven carries for no touchdowns. — Asher Fusco BIG POWER 12 RANKINGS Each week, Sports Editor Travis Robinett, football writer Asher Fusco and Big 12 football writer Case Keefer vote on the Big 12 power rankings.

Still, coach Ray Bechard found a few positives in his team's defeat. Garlington "We're not into moral victories," Bechard said.

Triangle 1 lacked a full team, down five players to Afternoon Delight's six for the entirety of the match. The one-man advantage made things easy for the defending champs, and they quickly got down to business. The first game started with Bret Jones, Topeka junior, serving brilliantly to give Afternoon Delight a lead from which it would never look back.

Kansas was not selected for a bowl game after finishing 6-6 last season.

But Marchiony said the Athletics Department was excited about the media attention and bowl projections. "That people are making those predictions is very exciting because that is where you want the football program to be," Marchiony said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Larry Johnson scored the goahead touchdown on a 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter, and the Chiefs beat the Raiders for the ninth straight time, winning 12-10 Sunday in Holmes' return from a two-year absence. OAKLAND, Calif. — The Kansas City Chiefs didn't need much production from Priest Holmes to extend their winning streak over the Oakland Raiders. Holmes, Kansas City's career leader in rushing yards and touchdowns, was activated this week for the first time since suffering a neck injury on a vicious hit from San Diego's Shawne Merriman on Oct. 30, 2005. Holmes entered the game on the third play of Kansas City's third drive. He caught a screen pass from Damon Huard, but was tackled by Namiql Asomugha for a 6-yard loss. Holmes had no other catches and rushed four times for 9 yards, gaining a key first down with under three minutes left and Kansas City (4-3) protecting a 12-10 lead.

Before the season began, some may have questioned the improvement Mangino made over Terry Allen. In five seasons, their coaching records were fairly similar, Allen with 20-33 and Mangino with 25-35. Mangino, however, led Kansas football to two bowl games and will go to another this season, which is something Terry Allen did not do. Although the comparison between Allen and Mangino may have been similar at the start of the season, the comparison that should be made is between Mangino and Snyder. Both of their first seasons were awful, Snyder 1-10, Mangino 2-10, mostly because of inheriting a bad team. Both coaches' teams struggled on the road. Through the first five and a half years of Snyder's career, Kansas State was 5-21 away from Manhattan. Through five and a half years, Kansas is 6-21 under Mangino away from Lawrence. The formula Bill Snyder used for making Kansas State a national power is also similar to what Mangino did to gain national recognition. Both coaches have added wins to the schedule by playing soft opponents during the nonconference part of the season. Through five and a half seasons, Snyder's nonconference record was 18-6. Mangino, through the first five and a half seasons of his career, has gone 18-6 in nonconference play. For a team near the cellar of college football, recruiting can be tricky, and coaches have to find players that marquis schools overlook. Players that come from a junior college or players that are undersized for their position are what Snyder capitalized on and what Mangino is also doing. On Oct. 22, 1994, the Kansas State Wildcats were 4-2 (1 Big B) under Bill Snyder and went on to finish the season 9-3 (5-2 Big B). They finished the season ranked No.19 in the AP poll, and No.16 in the CNN/USA Today Coaches' Poll. They were nearly a permanent fixture in the rankings for the next ten years. Today, Oct. 22, 2007, Kansas is ranked No. 12 in the AP poll, No. 10 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and No. 9 in the BCS poll. Kansas is undefeated at 7-0 under Mark Mangino. Though Bill Snyder was well on his way in establishing Kansas State as a national power five years into his coaching career, it was not until 1998 when Kansas State went 7-0. Mark Mangino was an assistant coach at Kansas State from 1991-1998 and was around to witness Bill Snyder build a football team from a laughing stock to a national power. Through five and a half years of coaching, both coaches careers look similar. It was clear that Mangino learned a thing or two under Bill Snyder. It will not be surprising to see Kansas football enjoy success similar to that which Snyder brought to Kansas State. — Edited by Kaitlyn Syring SHROYER (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Anyone who's watched a quarter of Kansas football by now — and, at 7.0, experts ought to be watching — can see that Talib is the straw that stirs the drink. Like Woodson was for Michigan, Talib has been a two-way threat for Kansas. If Charles Woodson was more deserving than Peyton Manning for the Heisman in 1997, there's no reason Talib shouldn't be part of the Heisman conversation in what I consider a severely watered-down field. Two Texas Tech players are on the Heisman watch, for crying out loud. Although Talib's primary duties are on the defensive side of the ball, he's been a key component of the No. 3 scoring offense in the country. With only seven receptions, Talib leads Kansas with four trips to the end zone and is the team's fifth-leading receiver with 174 yards. As the leader of the No. 2 scoring defense in the nation, Talib's three interceptions tie him for the team lead, and he's broken up a team-best five passes. He's also helped the Jayhawk secondary perform an incredible turnaround from last season. In 2006, Kansas had one of the worst pass defenses in college football, allowing 269.1 yards per game. This season, Kansas is No. 10 in the country, allowing only 178.1 yards through the air. While Florida Atlantic's Tavious Polo leads the nation with seven interceptions, there's no doubt Talib would be challenging him if opposing quarterbacks weren't hesitant to throw in his direction. Two weeks later against Kansas State, Talib helped Kansas seal its first victory in Manhattan since 1989. With the Wildcats just inside Jayhawk territory and trailing by six, Talib picked off a Josh Freeman pass with just more than a minute to play. Game over. That game-changing ability is what links Talib to Woodson. Florida International threw Talib's way on the most promising drive of its Sept. 22 game against Kansas and he made them pay the ultimate price, returning it 102 yards for a touchdown. It was the kind of play that elevates college football stars to Heisman status. In 1997, Woodson had two interceptions against in-state rival Michigan State. Against Ohio State, he picked off a pass and returned a punt for a touchdown. At the time he received the Heisman, Woodson had seven interceptions, two receiving touchdowns and one punt return for a touchdown. Talib has shown that he, just like Woodson, can excel in the spotlight. If quarterbacks challenge him, he can approach Woodson's interception total. He's already proven to be a more dangerous receiver than Woodson. All that's left is for Mangino to give Talib a shot at returning punts. He can't do any worse than Anthony Webb. - Edited by Tara Smith 10 KU Independent Study Learn Your Own Way Study and learn wherever you are Choose from 150 available courses Enroll and begin anytime 785-864-5823 www.ContinuingEd.ku.edu Check with your academic advisor before enrolling.

With Holmes and Larry Johnson, Kansas City has the potential to be a lethal rushing offense. OAKLAND, Calif. — Priest Holmes completed his improbable comeback Sunday, returning to the Kansas City Chiefs' lineup nearly two years after a serious neck injury threatened the three-time Pro Bowl running back's career. Holmes played for the first time since Oct. 30, 2005, in the Chiefs' 12-10 road victory against the rival Oakland Raiders. Though he managed just 9 yards on four carries, his pain-free performance suggested the former star's comeback story has additional chapters. "I'm excited," said Holmes, the Chiefs' career franchise leader in yards rushing and touchdowns. "There wasn't really much I did, other than when I was called on, I did a couple of little things. It wasn't anything new. At ASSOCIATED PRESS "By the end of the year, it could be one of the best — if not the best — one-two punches in the NFL." the end of the day, this is work." Holmes was thrown for a 6-yard loss after catching a screen pass on his first snap. In the fourth quarter he had three carries during Kansas City's important clock-killing drive in the final minutes, including an 8-yard run for a first down. "For a guy that hadn't played in a long time, he did a good job," coach Herm Edwards said. "He got through it, and now he'll be more involved in it." TONY GONZALEZ Kansas City tight end dominant 34-year-old back whose career was widely assumed to be finished. Most fans thought his next appearance at Arrowhead Stadium would be to see his name enshrined on the facade as a member of the Chiefs Hall of Fame. Even that 6-yard loss on the first pass was a huge gain for a once- Holmes hadn't played since a vicious hit from San Diego's Shawne Merriman caused the neck injury. Holmes enjoyed a sublime 4½- year stretch with the Chiefs from 2001-05, rushing for 5,933 yards and 76 TDs. His 83 total TDs also are a franchise best. offense that has relied heavily on Holmes' heir since his injury. long ways to go." "It's just part of my job, (and) I'll come in here and do it very humbly," Holmes said. "If I get one, two, three carries, I'll do whatever I need to do. I've still got a Holmes entered the game on the third play of Kansas City's third drive, shortly before the first quarter ended. He caught a screen pass from Damon Huard, but was buried by cornerback Nnami Asomugha. "I was excited just to get that first hit out of the way," Holmes said. "Then they didn't really get the opportunity to use me again until the fourth quarter. When you're the third-down back, you only get so many opportunities, because you want your first guy feeling good." Holmes carried the ball for no gain late in the third quarter, but made two key runs for 11 yards late in the fourth. His biggest contribution was his first-down run around the left end with 3 minutes left. He even tried to fall down before going out of bounds to keep the clock running, but that veteran play went unrewarded when the officials ruled him out. "It was great when we got towards the end of the game, when we were in the huddle and we were getting a little tired," tight尾 Gonzalez said. "It was good to put No. 31 in there." The Chiefs kept Holmes out of full practices through the first six weeks of the season. Once he returned to regular workouts last Wednesday, Kansas City decided to test him after trading backup Michael Bennett to Tampa Bay. For now, Kansas City will use Holmes as a third-down back behind Johnson, who became one of the NFLs elite ball carriers during Holmes' absence. "By the end of the year, it could be one of the best — if not the best — one-two punches in the NFL," Gonzalez said. NFL Brady, Bironas set records; Rams, Dolphins still can't win ASSOCIATED PRESS TITANS 38, TEXANS 36 HOUSTON — Rob Bironas made an NFL-record eight field goals, with a 29-yarder as time expired in the Tennessee Titans' wild 38-36 victory over the Houston Texans. The kick foiled a spirited comeback by the Texans (3-4), who scored 29 points in the fourth quarter, capped by a 53-yard touchdown pass from Sage Rosenfels to Andre' Davis to take a 36-35 lead with 57 seconds remaining. Bironas also connected from 52, 43, 25, 21, 30, 29 and 28 yards to break the previous record of seven field goals held by four players. His 26 points also established a mark for a kicker in one game. PATRIOTS 49, DOLPHINS 28 MIAMI — Tom Brady was flawless, even returning to the game to throw a team-record sixth touchdown pass. Brady's TD total exceeded his career high of five, set last week against Dallas. Brady now has 27 TD passes after seven games. The NFL record is 49 set by Peyton Manning in 2004. If Brady maintains his current pace over 16 games, he would finish with 61. Brady completed his first 11 passes for 220 yards and four scores, including throws of 35 and 50 yards to Randy Moss. His other touchdown passes covered 14 and 16 yards to Wes Welker, 30 to Donte Stallworth and 2 to Kyle Brady. The Patriots improved to 7-0 for the first time in their 48-year history, while the drubbing was the biggest downer yet for the Dolphins, who fell to 0-7 for the first time in their 41 seasons. GIANTS 33.49ERS 15 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Osi Umenyiora scored on a 75-yard fumble return and the New York defense helped account for 24 points as the Giants won their fifth straight. The dynamic four-end defensive line of the Giants (5-2) had a field day against the NFLs worst offense. New York forced four turnovers by the 49ers (2-4), sacked Dilfer six times and made him play with his head on a swivel while Alex Smith rested his ailing shoulder on the sideline. michael Strahan had his biggest sack performance since 2003 with $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ against his former defensive coordinator and current 49ers coach Mike Nolan. REDSKINS 21, CARDINALS 19 LANDOVER, Md. — In a game marred by bad penalties and bone-headed mistakes, the Redskins (4-2) had the only thing resembling a normal scoring drive. But they finished the day with only 160 total yards and survived a 55-yard field goal attempt by Neil Rackers that was barely wide left with 2 seconds remaining. There were a combined 15 penalties for 128 yards, a blocked punt by the Cardinals and a blocked extra point by the Redskins. Kurt Warner, who started despite a torn elbow ligament that made it awkward to hand off, wasn't behind center for the Cardinals (3-4) when they got within 21-19. Tim Rattay entered for the play and threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Leonard Pope. LIONS 23, BUCCANEERS 16 Garcia, who played in Detroit for one forgettable season two years ago, didn't have a turnover in his first six games with the Bucs. Perhaps pressing against one of his former teams, Detroit (4-2) pulled within a game of idle Green Bay in the NFC North, while Tampa Bay (4-3) lost a chance to move past idle Carolina in the NFC South. DETROIT — The Lions scored touchdowns after Jeff Garcia's two fumbles, including wide receiver Calvin Johnson's 32-yard run midway through the fourth quarter, to beat their former teammate. he botched a handoff in Detroit territory in the first quarter. He also mishandled a snap on a first-and-goal when the Bucs were 1 yard from pulling within two points early in the fourth period. ) Johnson, the No. 2 pick in the draft, broke a few tackles on an end-around to give the Lions a 23-7 lead with 6:28 left. NEW ORLEANS — Reggie Bush's power running with a short pass gave New Orleans (2-4) a 4-yard touchdown to win it. Bush spun free and overpowered three Falcons and dived across the goal line on a crucial third-and-goal screen pass. Atlanta (1-6) lost more than a game. Its newest starting quarterback, Byron Leftwich, left with an injured right ankle after Saints defensive end Will Smith brought him down on a long incompletion early in the third quarter. Bush threw the ball into the second deck of the Louisiana Superdome after the score. While fans chanted his name in celebration, Bush took a handoff on a 2-point conversion, raced to the sideline and dived past the pylon. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. Making good on an opportunity to secure the starting job, rookie quarterback Trent Edwards went 11-of-21 for 153 yards and engineered five scoring drives for Buffalo (2-4).

RAVENS 14 BEARS 19, EAGLES 16 overcoming a slow start and a booing crowd, by scoring on a 46-yard run in his first game back since the Bills traded him to Baltimore (4-3) in March. PHILADELPHIA — Desperately needing a victory to stay in the NFC hunt, Chicago's Brian Griese connected with Muhsin Muhammad for a 15-yard touchdown pass with 9 seconds left. Willis McGahee made his mark. The Bears didn't even need Devin Hester to bail them out of jam with an explosive return. Instead, the final, thrilling drive was all Griese. The Bears (3-4) were pinned on the 3-yard line with 1:57 left. Griese completed a series of short passes over the middle. And Hester, the dynamic kick returner shut down on special teams by the Eagles (2-4), had a 21-yard catch that brought Chicago to the 15. Then Muhammad made his winning catch in the back of the end zone. Before that, Robbie Gould kicked four field goals for the Bears and David Akers made three for Philadelphia. SEAHAWKS 33.

Susan, an accountant for a telecommunications company, was known among co-workers to be smart and well-liked (for an accountant). So, when "Employee of the Year" nominations came out, it was not surprising that she was on the ballot. But, beside her name, was one she didn't recognize. Being a relatively small business, it was hard to believe she wouldn't know all the nominees. She started asking around. "Who's this John fella?" She was met with nothing but rave reviews. "You haven't met John? He's the best!" "You haven't met John? He's the best!" "John? From sales? He amazing! So" "John? From sales? He's amazing! So handsome!" ♂♂ This was not good news. She'd never been "Employee of the Anything" before, and she didn't want to lose to some sleazy, know-it-all salesman. As she walked past the breakroom, she saw Ricky, the sales manager, standing by the ballot box. "Vote for John" he said, handing ballots out, "Vote for Johnhwl" "You're campaigning for him?" she shouted. "Sure! You gotta problem with John?" "Nol I don't even know him!" At the end of the week, they announced the At the end of the week, they announced the winner: "John". She stayed at her desk, furious and defeated. She was working on a spread-sheet when someone sat down beside her desk. "Sorry you didn't win," he said. "That cheater! He was campaigning! Can you believe it?" "Well, I voted for you." She looked up. It was a man she didn't know. A hawdsome man, smiling. "Do I...know you?" she asked "No. I'm John."

THE EXISTING COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT AT HOLCOMB RANKS #11 IN THE NATION FOR MERCURY EMISSIONS. IMAGINE WHAT A PLANT FIVE TIMES ITS CURRENT SIZE WOULD DO TO PUBLIC HEALTH. LINE ON COAL PLANTS HOLDING THE LINE ON COAL PLANTS KANSAS STANDS UP AGAINST COAL POLLUTION SPARE THE AIR, PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH Steve Simpson, MD Associate Professor of Pulmonology University of Kansas Medical Center The additional 1400-megawatt, coal-fired units proposed for Holcomb would emit ten million more tons of carbon dioxide annually and take a serious additional toll on public health. The irony is, Kansans don't need that much extra electricity. Almost all （85%）of the power generated would be sold out of state. We'd just keep 100% of the pollution. the perception has been that "coal is cheaper" for generating electricity. But Kansas is realizing that fuel cost is a fraction of the expense they will bear if this $3.5 billion expansion were built. Coal plant construction overruns and costly future carbon taxes have led to the rejection or withdrawal of 22 proposed coal power plants in 16 states since last year. Kansas should be the 17th state. Of course, "cheaper" also doesn't cover the harm coal emissions do to public health and consequent medical costs - and that harm begins before birth, given the effect of pollution on pregnant women as well as children,the elderly and many adults. Coal pollutants that affect health and life expectancy (and require costly medical care) include carbon dioxide, mercury and hazardous fine particles. Diseases: Children exposed to coal plant emissions are at higher risk for a host of respiratory problems, including allergies, asthma and other respiratory diseases - even affecting lung development. Emissions also cause heart disease, stroke, cancer, early deaths and lifetimes of compromised health for thousands of Kansans. This is no bargain. Our state's medical community is joining forces with other Kansans who are committed to rejection of the proposed Holcomb power plant. We can't afford the high price of pumping more coal pollution into Kansas skies. The time to stand up is now.

Undergraduate at Northern Illinois University, graduate school at Northwestern University, and clinical training at Harvard Medical School. What clubs/organizations were you involved with? I was a varsity swimmer for four years. I also was very involved in drama. What inspired you to become a teacher? Originally, I wanted to be a clinical psychologist in practice, but I discovered that I was much more interested in research and teaching. I had a very influential teacher in undergraduate, and I decided that I wanted to do what he was doing. Could you talk about the psychology textbook your wrote? I've written a couple of them. The one that gets the most attention is titled "Abnormal Psychology." There are four editions of it. It was first published in 1990. I'm currently working on a new edition. It was estimated that it was used by about 400,000 students. I'm working on the new edition now, as well as a trade book, which is sort of like a Barnes and Noble book. Where are you from? Chicago: I was born and raised just a short distance from Wrigley Field. How did you get to the University? I never intended to stay here. I came from a think tank in Princeton. I planned to stay here for two years to finish some research with a colleague. One project led to another and all of a sudden 30 years had gone by. What are some of your hobbies?

What kind of music do you listen to? Classical, string quartets. Do you have a favorite television program? Something on public television, not really though. Do you have an iPod?

I can't have them too frequently because I have high cholesterol, and I have to watch the eggs. What is your favorite restaurant in Lawrence? I would have to say Pachamama's. It's edgy, classic American food. Is there a sport you enjoy? Swimming. I was a swimmer in high school and college, and I still do it today. Who is your favorite author? Oliver Sacks, a neurologist who writes about interesting, strange neurological disorders. Where is your favorite spot to travel? Up until the dollar fell like a stone it was France, but I also like to mountain climb in Colorado.

The group will play a show at 7:30 tonight in the Lied Center. The students are still available at the SLIA office. Bright Eyes takes stage at Lied Students say band's folk-rock style to fit well in Lawrence BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com Student Union Activities will bring the indie folk-rock music scene to Lawrence at 7:30 tonight when Bright Eyes hits the Lied Center stage. Stephanie Altoro, Castle Hill, N.Y., junior and SUA live music coordinator, said the idea to bring Bright Eyes to the University stemmed from a meeting of the SUA live music committee last semester. She said the band was happy about the gig. "Bands know what Lawrence is about," Altoro said. "They know it can do a lot for upcoming artists and that Lawrence has a big music scene." The band consists of singer/guitarist Conor Oerst, multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott, with additional rotating members who play alongside the trio. They have released 11 albums since 1988 and have had some mainstream success. They've performed on both the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Show with David Letterman, had a song featured in the film "Knocked Up," and their songs "Lua" and "Take It Easy" each took the top spot on Billboard's Top 100 singles chart in 2014. Josh Adams, Overland Park freshman, said he thought the band was a perfect choice because the group's music was original enough to bring a lot of different people to the show. "I like Bright Eyes because they have a certain diversity within their music that makes it stand out," Adams said. "I like to be able to listen to a band that doesn't get old over time. Bright Eyes is a band that is always changing their style." Altozo said the group had a lot of great music to offer to students, even ones who weren't necessarily fans of the band. "I really didn't know much about them." Altoro said. "I started listening to them because I was curious, and they are great. The lead singer is a wonderful songwriter." Jason Wiley, Topeka sophomore, said he was looking forward to the show. "They are a great band and just sort of starting to become well-known, so it's nice to see them get a chance here," he said. Tickets for tonight's show cost $15 for students and $25 for the general public. Tickets are still available at the SUA box office.

Both visions could soon become a reality. The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission voted 9-1 in two decisions to recommend approval to the City Commission for the project Monday night. It will have to go before the City Commission before it is formally approved. "Certainly The Crossing isn't a bad place," lead commissioner Grant Eichhorn said, "but I don't think they're going to miss it." Oread Inn is a proposed seven-story hotel slated to be built at 12th and Oread streets. If the proposal is passed, the building that houses The Crossing, Beat the Bookstore, Big Burrito and the now-closed Yello Sub would be torn down. Oread Inn wouldn't just be a hotel. The structure would include a ballroom that Jennings said would be a good place for sororities and fraternities to have formals and parties. Parents of students would be able to stay for parents weekends, he said. The plan also calls for retail space on the lower levels of the structure. Paul Werner, architect for Oread Inn, hasn't talked to specific businesses yet, but said the space could include coffee shops and restaurants. The hotel and all the extra features also mean jobs for students, Jennings said. "I think this replaces money spent here in a much more positive way," Jennings said. Getting students to think the same might be a little more difficult. Yello Sub, which has been closed since July, The Crossing, Big Burrito and Beat the Bookstore are all places where students spend time and money. The Crossing had been a mainstay at the north end of campus for years. Taylor and Adrian Levsky, Glastonbury, Conn., freshman, have been coming to The Crossing at least once a week since school started. Both said the place had helped them meet people, something they said was important because they came to Kansas from far away. Levsky said coffee shops and restaurants couldn't replace their current hangout. "There's plenty of places to eat around here," he said. "You could go to Big Burrito or Massachusetts Street." Students such as Levksy and Taylor might not have to worry yet. Although the Planning Commission issued a formal recommendation, commission members still questioned its 95-foot height and the possible parking problems. Last month, the Historic Resources Commission voted unanimously against the project because it didn't meet the standards necessary for structures built in the vicinity of historic districts. The City Commission will likely give the final decision about Oread Inn next month at the earliest.

At least one person was killed and dozens were injured. More than 600 homes burned, nearly 130 in one mountain area alone, and thousands of other buildings were threatened by more than a dozen blazes covering at least 520 square miles. Soon after nightfall, fire officials announced that 500 homes and 100 commercial properties had been destroyed by a fire in northern San Diego County that exploded to 145,000 acres, said Roxanne Provaznik, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry. The fire injured seven firefighters and one civilian, and was spreading unchecked. Firefighters — who lost valuable time trying to persuade stubborn homeowners to leave — had their cut out for them as winds gusting to 70 mph scattered embers onto dry brush, spawning spot fires. California officials pleaded for help from fire departments in other states. "A lot of people are going to lose their homes today," San Diego Fire Capt. Lisa Blake had said earlier.

Jerry and Sue Neverve, owners of the Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., handed out flyers before Kansas' game against Florida International outlining a protest against the Athletics Department for its decision to move the next two Kansas-Missouri football games to Kansas City, Mo. The couple is organizing a downtown pro "I've heard from a lot of season ticket holders that said they won't be there." motion on the day of the game that will offer fans showings unused game tickets vastly reduced prices on food and merchandise. "My business is small — it won't be made or broken by this." Sue Nevereal said. "We didn't look at it like that. We looked at it like a community. We consider KU a part of that community. There are so many losses here. Plus, I want to go to Memorial Stadium and watch the game." The main loss is an estimated $713,000 that Kansas, Douglas County and the city of Lawrence SUE NEVERVE Red Lyon owner will sustain because of the venue change, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. David Darling, a retired Kansas State University economist, was commissioned by the Lawrence Journal-World in April to do the estimation. Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony said the prime reason for moving the game was financial. The Athletics Department is guaranteed at least $1 million in revenue for each of the contract's two years. "That wasn't based on any kind of facts at all," Marchiony said. "So on one hand, you have a guaranteed $1 million to the KU Athletics Department, against a figure that is just a projection." Marchiony called Darlings estimate "a Marchiony said the actual number could be worth up to $250,000 more than that each year, depending on attendance. This year's game is sold out. guestimate." Marchiony said Kansas added a nonconference home game to the schedule to ensure seven games in Lawrence, tied for the most in the school's history. Darling's study estimated the loss as the difference between a Kansas-Missouri game in Lawrence and the replacement nonconference game. Marchiony said Kansas Athletics would wait before deciding if it was beneficial to attempt to extend the two year agreement. Marchiony said the Athletics Department understood the sentiments of concerned business owners but said they expected hundreds, if not thousands, of Kansas fans in restaurants and bars in Lawrence on the day of the game eating and watching the game in public. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring CRIME "I'm sure there will be a lot of people that will go to Arrowhead because they will feel they would let the team down if they didn't." Sue Nevere said. "Then there will be other people who won't be in the stands. I have heard from a lot of season ticket holders that said they won't be there." The Neverves have been Williams Fund members and season ticket holders for almost 20 years. Sue Neverve said without knowing the time of kickoff, which won't be announced until at least two weeks before the game, businesses couldn't make formal plans for the promotion. "Before the season, people would have said that Missouri is different than bringing in one of these teams, but we had in excess of 40,000 people at each of our nonconference games," Marchiony said. Another consideration, Marchiony said, was Kansas City's 60,000 Kansas alumni. Two students say men raped them recently According to police reports, two KU students reported being raped in two separate incidents more than a week apart. One reported incident occurred Oct. 12,but the report wasn't released until Monday. According to the report, the woman said a man had sex with her without consent. Police said the suspect was an acquaintance of the woman. The suspect was not arrested, and the KU Public Safety Office was forwarding the case to the Douglas County District Attorney. The other reported rape occurred early Sunday morning. Police said the suspect was an acquaintance of the woman. Police also did not arrest the suspect and gave the case to the Douglas County District Attorney. Mark Dent My team needs me. I'LL GET A FLU VACCINE.

The latest increases, reported Monday by the College Board, bring the average list price of four-year public universities to $6,185 this year, up $381 from 2006-2007. At four-year private colleges, tuition and fees rose 6.3 percent to $23,712. ment, but then turn to private student loans. A decade ago, non-federal loans accounted for about 6 percent of student aid, but last year they were 24 percent. The rate of growth in private borrowing slowed last year. But that was at least partly because of new rules allowing graduates students to take out PLUS loans from the federal government, reducing their need for private loans. For George Washington University in Washington, D.C., recently attracted attention for becoming the first major university with published price, including room and board, of more than $50,000. Public two- The published price is not the real price for many students, thanks to financial aid, but the net price is rising too. On average, accounting for grants and tax breaks, the net price for full-time students at four-year public universities this year is $2,580. That's about $160 more than last year. "For too long, parents have grimaced and borne the high price of college because they presumed that a higher education is key to their child's success in today's economy," said James Boyle, president of the group College Parents of America, in a statement on the report. "Surely, the day will come — soon — when parents say enough is enough." At private colleges, net cost this year averages $14,400 — up $638 from a year ago. year colleges — which educate about half of American college students — again got the best marks for keeping a lid on price increases. Their average price rose 4.2 percent to $2,361. Accounting for aid, their average net cost is only $320 per year. To make up the difference, students typically borrow as much as allowed from the federal govern- undergraduates, private borrowing still rose 12 percent to $14.5 billion. Including roomandboard for students living on campus, charges for public four-year colleges were $13,589. or 5.9 percent higher than last year. At private four-year schools, average total charges come to $32,307. George Washington University in Washington, D.C. recently attracted attention for becoming the first major university with a published price, including room and board, of more than $50.00 For the first time, the College Board report includes the rapidly growing sector of for-profit education, which now caters to about 8 percent of students. Their average prices are also rising rapidly — to $12,089, up 6.2 percent from last year. The report comes as Congress is in the early stages of considering a proposal that could require some colleges with large endowments to spend more of their savings to keep tuition down. Colleges call the idea misguided and say it wouldn't solve the underlying economic issues explaining the price increases. Peter McPherson, president of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant es keep going up, though Sandy Baum, an economist with the group and at Skidmore College, points out that because of rising demand for higher education, more state appropriations have not translated into more money spent on each student. The College Board's report does not try to explain why pric- "Surely, the day will come soon when parents say enough is enough." However, the percentage of college-goers who pay such large sums is fairly small. Fewer than 10 percent of students even attend colleges with tuition and fees higher than $30,000, according to the College Board, and many of those students receive financial aid. About 56 percent of students at four-year colleges attend schools listing a price under $10,000, and about one-third attend schools charging under $6,000. JAMES BOYLE President College Parents of America Colleges issued a statement saying that "leaders of America's public research universities continue to be concerned about the impact that the cost of attending colleges has on students and their families." But, he said, the average net price of $2,600 at four-year schools remains "excellent value." That contention is supported in a recent paper by Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of the financial aid Web site finaid.org. He tried to estimate how much a four-year college degree would have to cost before it would no longer be a good investment, given the $1.2 million increase in expected lifetime earnings that comes with a bachelor's degree. His answer: about $520,000 — or $130,000 a year.

HOW MY PARENTS M By Shawn Bowers, film major PART 3 OF A 5-PART SERIES You don't have to be a math major to know that one is the loneliest number. That my father WAS one only drove home the irony that it took twenty five years of relational solitude and self-imposed (or not) celibacy before he went after the one sure thing. It took six years of school together before he worked up the nerve to talk to her, and another four months before he found the balls to ask her out. ♂ ♀ It took three rejections before she finally caved in, in what was probably the one millionth pity date in the history of time. But it only took one date for her to realize that there were approximately zero other people she could imagine spending the rest of her life with. As my father has always told me, the numbers don't lie. For years, I would smugly point out that that was because "the numbers" can't actually speak. But when he lays it out for me like that?

Bands of heavy rain flooded streets and threatened homes and businesses in New Orleans the surrounding suburbs; Southeast still shy of annual average despite downpour ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — The Army Corps of Engineers closed a gate on a suburban canal as heavy rains lashed the flood-prone city, raising fears that climbing waters threatened to top the walls holding them back. After more than 8 inches of rain fell on parts of New Orleans by late afternoon, Mayor Ray Nagin shut City Hall early, and schools also closed. People were asked to stay indoors until the flood potential subsided. More rain was expected overnight. The Harvey Canal in Jefferson Parish was one of several waterways in the area placed under new safety guidelines after Hurricane Katrina's flood waters breached two New Orleans canals in August 2005, causing catastrophic flooding. The corps has worked to strengthen the canal, about five miles from downtown, but engineers worried that water being driven into it might lead to flooding. The area around the canal includes homes and businesses. Unlike the canal walls that broke during Katrina, the walls on the Harvey Canal are not considered at threat of being breached by rising waters, said Chris Accardo, the corps' operations chief. "The gates were closed to minimize seepage and overtopping;" he said. Engineers want to be sure "that we don't put pressure" on the flood walls, said Amanda Jones, a corps spokeswoman. Water accumulated quickly in some older neighborhoods, a reminder of the city's vulnerability to storms and reliance on a complicated system of pumps and canals for drainage. Water nearly got into the Prytania Theater in the Uptown neighborhood, a cultural icon and favorite refuge for Ignatius J. Reilly, the antihero in John Kennedy Toole's novel "A Confederacy of Dunces," said Eric Ramstead, the theater's manager. Robert Ricks, a lead forecaster with the National Weather Service in Slidell, said that a flood watch was extended to midnight Monday and that some areas could expect 10 inches or more of rain. Despite the flooding potential, the rain also offered relief to parts of Louisiana that have been abnormally dry. Until Monday's drenching, rainfall for New Orleans was about 11 inches below normal for the year. The scattered showers and thunderstorms also came as a blessing to other drought-stricken areas of the Southeast on Monday. Still, climatologists said it would take more than a few scattered storms to pull the region out of a record drought. Rainfall in Atlanta is almost 17 inches below normal for the year, and state officials have warned that a north Georgia reservoir that supplies more than 3 million people with water could be depleted within three months. Almost one-third of the Southeast is covered by an "exceptional" drought — the worst drought category. ACCIDENT Van flips over on highway; 5 killed,11 others injured ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — A tire blowout may have caused a van carrying passengers from an Amish community to flip over on a highway, killing three children and two adults, police said. Monday. Eleven others were injured in the crash. Police said no other vehicles were involved Sunday when the southbound van veered out of control on Interstate 69, entered a grassy median and overturned, coming to rest in the northbound lanes near Muncie, about 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis. The roof of the vehicle was torn away. Witnesses saw the rear left tire on the van blow out before the crash occurred, and police said in a statement that a preliminary investigation of the tires confirmed those observations. It was not clear at first how many people had been riding in the van, as survivors gave conflicting counts of 15, 16 or 17 passengers, Indiana State Police Sgt. Rod Russell said. Police and other rescuers searched for additional injured people until it was clear all people in the van were accounted for. "It's controlled chaos, is what it is, when you have a situation like this," Russell said. The victims hailed from Amish communities in Indiana, police said. Troopers believed that the van may have been taking people home after a church function. Amish people generally shun modern conveniences but sometimes enlist non-Amish as drivers. reopen until more than four hours after the crash. Southbound lanes reopened about two hours after the crash. Traffic in both directions was stopped as authorities used the highway to land medical helicopters. Northbound lanes of 1-69 did not Susie Ingras saw the crash and went to help the victims. "We got up there, and we had three bodies that were just right by us," she said. "It's just heartbreaking, especially them being so young." The crash occurred about 20 miles from the site of an April 2006 collision between a Taylor University van and a semi-trailer rig that killed four students and a university employee. The crash resulted in widespread attention after an identity mixup in which a woman, originally believed to have died in the accident, turned out to be just injured. In April, four Amish riding in a pickup were among eight people killed in a crash on the Indiana Toll Road. 25¢ 25¢ of each slice of pizza goes to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital Oct. 22nd - 27th (10pm - 2am) Make your MEAL at the WHEEL Tri-Delta THE WAGON WHEEL LAWRENCE, KS Tri-Delta THE WAGON WHEEL LAWRENCE, KS U.S. AIR FORCE R.O.T.C Languages Azerbaijani Bengali Cambodian Chinese Hausa Hindi Indonesian Japanese Kazakh Malay Pashtu Persian Russian Serb-Croatian Swahili Thai Turkish Uighur Urdu-Punjabi Uzbek Vietnamese Benefits Tuition assistance Monthly living allowance Officer commission See the world.

HOW MY PARENTS M By Shawn Bowers, film major PART 3 OF A 5-PART SERIES You don't have to be a math major to know that one is the loneliest number. That my father WAS one only drove home the irony that it took twenty five years of relational solitude and self-imposed (or not) celibacy before he went after the one sure thing. ♂ ♀ But it only took one date for her to realize that there were approximately zero other people she could imagine spending the rest of her life with. It took six years of school together before he worked up the nerve to talk to her, and another four months before he found the balls to ask her out. It took three rejections before she finally caved in, in what was probably the one millionth pity date in the history of time. As my father has always told me, the numbers don't lie. For years, I would smugly point out that that was because "the numbers" can't actually speak. But when he lays it out for me like that?

Bands of heavy rain flooded streets and threatened homes and businesses in New Orleans an the surrounding suburbs. Southeast still shy of annual average despite downpour ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — The Army Corps of Engineers closed a gate on a suburban canal as heavy rains lashed the flood-prone city, raising fears that climbing waters threatened to top the walls holding them back. After more than 8 inches of rain fell on parts of New Orleans by late afternoon, Mayor Ray Nagin shut City Hall early, and schools also closed. People were asked to stay indoors until the flood potential subsided. More rain was expected overnight. The Harvey Canal in Jefferson Parish was one of several waterways in the area placed under new safety guidelines after Hurricane Katrina's flood waters breached two New Orleans canals in August 2005, causing catastrophic flooding. The corps has worked to strengthen the canal, about five miles from downtown, but engineers worried that water being driven into it might lead to flooding. The area around the canal includes homes and businesses. Unlike the canal walls that broke during Katrina, the walls on the Harvey Canal are not considered at threat of being breached by rising waters, said Chris Accardo, the corps' operations chief. "The gates were closed to minimize seepage and overtopping," he said. Engineers want to be sure "that we don't put pressure" on the flood walls, said Amanda Jones, a corps spokeswoman. Water accumulated quickly in some older neighborhoods, a reminder of the city's vulnerability to storms and reliance on a compi- cated system of pumps and canals for drainage. Water nearly got into the Prytania Theater in the Uptown neighborhood, a cultural icon and favorite refuge for Ignatius J. Reilly, the antihero in John Kennedy Toole's novel "A Confederacy of Dunces," said Eric Ramstead, the theater's manager. Robert Ricks, a lead forecaster with the National Weather Service in Slidell, said that a flood watch was extended to midnight Monday and that some areas could expect 10 inches or more of rain. Despite the flooding potential, the rain also offered relief to parts of Louisiana that have been abnormally dry. Until Monday's drenching, rainfall for New Orleans was about 11 inches below normal for the year. The scattered showers and thunderstorms also came as a blessing to other drought-stricken areas of the Southeast on Monday. Still, climatologists said it would take more than a few scattered storms to pull the region out of a record drought. Rainfall in Atlanta is almost 17 inches below normal for the year, and state officials have warned that a north Georgia reservoir that supplies more than 3 million people with water could be depleted within three months. Almost one-third of the Southeast is covered by an "exceptional" drought — the worst drought category. 》 ACCIDENT Van flips over on highway; 5 killed,11 others injured ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — A tire blow-out may have caused a van carrying passengers from an Amish community to flip over on a highway, killing three children and two adults, police said Monday. Eleven others were injured in the crash. Police said no other vehicles were involved Sunday when the southbound van veered out of control on Interstate 69, entered a grassy median and overturned, coming to rest in the northbound lanes near Muncie, about 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis. The roof of the vehicle was torn away. Witnesses saw the rear left tire on the van blow out before the crash occurred, and police said in a statement that a preliminary investigation of the tires confirmed those observations. It was not clear at first how many people had been riding in the van, as survivors gave conflicting counts of 15, 16 or 17 passengers, Indiana State Police Sgt. Rod Russell said. Police and other rescuers searched for additional injured people until it was clear all people in the van were accounted for. "It's controlled chaos, is what it is, when you have a situation like this," Russell said. The victims hailed from Amish communities in Indiana, police said. Troopers believed that the van may have been taking people home after a church function. Amish people generally shun modern conveniences but sometimes enlist non-Amish as drivers. reopen until more than four hours after the crash. Southbound lanes reopened about two hours after the crash. Traffic in both directions was stopped as authorities used the highway to land medical helicopters. Northbound lanes of I-69 did not Susie Ingras saw the crash and went to help the victims. "We got up there, and we had three bodies that were just right by us," she said. "It's just heartbreaking, especially them being so young." The crash occurred about 20 miles from the site of an April 2006 collision between a Taylor University van and a semi-trailer rig that killed four students and a university employee. The crash resulted in widespread attention after an identity mixup in which a woman, originally believed to have died in the accident, turned out to be just injured. In April, four Amish riding in a pickup were among eight people killed in a crash on the Indiana Toll Road. 25¢ of each slice of pizza goes to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital Oct. 22nd - 27th (10pm - 2am) Make your MEAL at the WHEEL Tri-Delta THE WAGON WHEEL LAWRENCE, KS 25c Tri-Delta THE WAGON WHEEL LAWRENCE, K8 U.S. AIR FORCE R·O·T·C U.S. AIR FORCE R·O·T·C Languages Azerbaijani Bengali Cambodian Chinese Hausa Hindi Indonesian Japanese Kazakh Malay Pashtu Persian Russian Serb-Croatian Swahili Thai Turkish Uighur Urdu-Punjabi Uzbek Vietnamese Benefits Tuition assistance Monthly living allowance Officer commission See the world. --- Call 1-866-4AF-ROTC or visit AFROTC.COM. 6A ENTERTAINMENT THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2007 SUDOKU Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on an 9x9 grid with several given numbers.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2007 PAGE 7A EDITORIAL BOARD Legislation targets University endowment KU Endowment's lack of spending gains notice from Congress as tuition increases continue On Oct. 16, the Lawrence Journal-World reported that Con- reported that Congress, in response to constituents' anger over increasing tuition costs, launched a proposal that would require universities with more than $1 billion (which includes KU) in endowment and positive annual returns to spend a certain portion of their funds each year. The Journal-World cited KU's rate of return last year at 19.3 percent; the school spent 5.625 percent of total endowment. Meanwhile, tuition has risen 66 percent in the past five years. Rosita McCoy, KU Endowment's senior vice president for communications, said that it would be unwise to increase spending when returns are high, because money would not be available during down times. Endowment figures have peripheral benefits as well. U.S. News & World Report uses them when the publication annually ranks universities. At current rates, KU will make roughly $193 million this year. At current rates, it will spend $56 million. This yields a tax-free profit of $137 million that's ostensibly waiting for a rainy day. With tuition increasing at its current rate, it's raining. Divided among currently enrolled students, this is a potential tuition and/or fees credit of over $4,500 per student. Endowment could provide substantial financial support to students without even touching the principal of the fund. It's understandable and reasonable for KU Endowment to seek protection against down years. While Congress' measure is targeted specifically at increas tuition costs, there's no reason why endowment couldn't be put towards practical campus improvements. Many donors, especially on the high end of giving, earmark funds for specific projects such as professorships or buildings. It's understandable that donors want name recognition for their generosity (and it is generous). However, it seems ironic that while students suffer the appalling state of desks in various buildings, vanity projects abound on campus whose presence is not even remotely utilitarian. KU may come to increasingly rely on endowment assets as state funding declines; as such, donations for practical improvements are imperative. Imagine hundreds of new desks, unmarred by graffiti, across campus. In the upper left corner of each desk would be a plaque indicating that, "This desk was donated by __." Stations in the various electronics labs may have individual donors recognized with nameplates at each workspace. Incoming freshmen and upperclassmen can receive more named scholarships. These are ways for donors to explicitly benefit students' everyday lives on campus, while retaining the recognition usually gained through higher-profile earmarks. Until Congress' measure passes (if it does), there's no reason to think that Endowment will increase its current spending. As such, the impetus is on donors to mandate how they want their money to be spent. While it may be tempting to earmark funds for aesthetic projects, the real gift could be something a little less glamorous and a lot more DRAWING BOARD John Lewis Civil Rights Leader Congressman 2007 Dole Leadership Prize Recipient THE LIBRARIAN YOUR PARENTS WARNED YOU ABOUT BITSO'WISDOM MAX RINKEE Fans should be allowed to express themselves Chants and shirts are the product of a game's atmosphere, and don't have malicious intent REN COHEN BEN COHEN The scene is familiar to many a Jayhawk by now. Dramatic mu now. Dramatic music begins to play, thousands of people stand up on their seats and, at Big Jay's urging, begin rattling their keys in the air. Why this is, I'm not entirely sure, though I have considered the possibility that return men are easily distracted by shiny things. Continuing on, the kicker runs up, the music and the keys stop, the ball is sent flying through the air, and the fans scream an obscenity, at the top of their lungs. Understandably, some people find this offensive. A lot of families bring kids to games, and they don't want their children exposed to foul language. Not to mention the return man probably likes his head right where it is. kickoff of every home football game this season. It is also what prompted ESPN to avoid putting students wearing "Muck Fizzou" shirts on television last year during a basketball game. Both of these events have raised the question of drawing a line between showing school spirit and being downright malicious. What some people don't seem to understand is that, when set in a competitive atmosphere like a sporting event, a little insanity is the natural way for many people to channel their enthusiasm for their school. People spend exorbitant amounts of money to travel around the country to It is the fear of being offensive that has led some people to call for the end of the cry which has marked every When in high school, I wrote a column, in the aftermath of a somewhat rowdy home basketball game where many faculty members complained about student conduct, about the importance of not regulating school spirit. If students are told how to express their love of their school and its athletic programs in a certain way, it really can't be considered a legitimate display of enthusiasm. Yes, that means the risk of offending people is run, but that comes with the ter- see their teams play, they dress babies in school regalia despite the fact that they'd probably cry in terror if confronted with the school mascot and some of them slather body paint all over their torsos that they would otherwise keep covered up for fear of being laughed at. In this sort of environment, very few people will think twice about shouting an obscenity, or calling for the ball-carrier to be brutalized in some creative fashion. ritory. I'll repeat my point that, placed in direct competition with other schools, people will resort to potentially petty actions, like wearing T-shirts with juvenile slogans or shouting profanities. The incident with ESPN last spring worried many, but it strikes me as unlikely that KU fans will not be shown on TV again because some of them wear a certain shirt. If a friend of mine could get on camera at every home game in a Scooby-Doo costume, producers can find ways around showing mean-spirited clothing. And if a chant offends you, try thinking of an alternative. Maybe "Rob his grandmother," or something else that will probably leave the other team too confused to concentrate. Please, just come down off the high horse and let us enjoy the game. Cohen is a Topeka junior in journalism and English. Vegetarians deserve people's respect Overall, Lawrence is friendly to vegetarians, but some people could be more understanding CASSIE GENTRY I've been a vegetarian for almost six years. It all happened rather suddenly, when I just stopped eating meat one day in the 9th grade. In my small high school, I was one of probably three or four vegetarians. When I came to KU, it was like a family reunion where I met all my long-lost vegetarian relatives, because, trust me, I don't have any real relatives anywhere in my family tree that are vegetarians. It's always a gamble when I tell someone I don't eat meat, because I can never anticipate their reaction. Sometimes I'm met with blank stares. Other times, it's blatant criticisms. Occasionally, it's a, "Me too!" I think that Lawrence, in general, is what I call "veggie-friendly," or convenient for vegetarians. I still remember once, after first coming to KU, that I ordered a taco salad with beans. The waitress said, "Okay, sure. Now, the salsa on that has beef flavoring in it, so you would like to sub that too?" I wanted to hug her. Most places aren't that conscious. The Brella's in the Underground is also a good place; they will wipe the prep board clean and have everyone change their gloves if you order the Mega Vega Wrap. However, not everyone is as understanding of vegetarianism. I was eating at the stew house where my friend works, and one of her co-workers found out I didn't eat meat. He came over and started asking me all these probing questions about why I didn't like meat. I told him that yes, I do like meat. I just choose not to eat it because I think it's wrong to kill animals. He then proceeded to tell me that I should just take a bite of my friend's steak, and that would start introducing meat into my diet. Slow was the way to go, according to him. When I told him I had no intention of reintroducing meat into my life, ever, he just quietly started at me, simply uttering, "But why? Why?" over and over. I understand that vegetarianism is not for everyone; though if I had it my way, every one would be leaf eaters. However, that doesn't mean meat eaters can't be respectful of vegetarians. It's not funny when someone makes derogatory comments about being a vegetarian, like the Kansas City barbecue restaurant Famous Dave's bumper stickers that read, "We like vegetarians. They make us laugh." Well, I have news for you, Famous Dave's. Your offensive comments aren't making any vegetarians laugh. Even if they don't respect the lifestyle, the least that carnivores can do is appreciate the dedication it takes to undergo such a lifestyle. I mean, every time I see my boyfriend eat a steak, I could say, "Can you hear the cows crying?" or "Think about the poor little sad eyes of the cow that you're eating." But I don't do that. His decision is his, and I respect it. I don't make a habit of hassling people who tell me, "I eat meat." But, somehow, the road doesn't go both ways.

Those are among the public service ads shown in the past. But the government's new batch of obesity spots declines even to show a fat person, let alone wag a finger for gluttony or sloth. No one is advocating public service announcements that ridicule fat people; experts say such spots would do more harm than good. But critics complain that the three new spots premiering this month are a wimpy attack on the costly and deadly explosion of obesity in America. "It's so namby-pamby I think people will shrug it off," said Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based advocacy organization. The three new spots are the latest in a series created by the Ad Council and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which try to tackle the nation's problem with ads that encourage healthy snacking and taking the stairs. Creators of the "Small Steps" campaign, funded by the government at more than $1.5 million a year, cite survey data for 467 adults which showed those who saw the ads did more walking and adopted some other healthy habits than those who didn't see the ads But critics say such a survey is hardly proof of success, and the nation's fat problem is clearly getting worse — more than one in three U.S. children are overweight or obese, and two in three adults are. "I think 'Small Steps' is a euphremia for small vision," said Kelly Brownell, director of Yale University's Center for Eating and Weight Disorders. The "Small Steps" campaign began in 2004. It was created for free by McCann Ericickson New York, the ad agency that created the MasterCard "Priceless" campaign. Six TV spots have aired so far, all professionally produced and humorous, highlighting tips to healthier living. This month, three more spots joined the rotation, along with a multimedia campaign focusing on exercise. The new anti-obesity TV spots show trim or slightly sluggy people noticing blobs of fat on a hotel room floor or in a theater. They comment that someone must have lost it by eating healthy snacks. The spots' creators say they learned in focus groups that many people are intimidated — hopeless, even — about the sustained changes needed to slim down. "So many people, when they think about losing weight, see it as a Sisyphean task — I have to lose weight but I can't fit it into my busy schedule," said Peggy Conlon, president of the Ad Council. The ads offer easily achievable tips that empower people to make positive changes, she added. ROTTOU FOOTBALL Jayhawk fans are a bunch of followers Winning record prompts recent rise in KU crowds at away games Ku fans celebrate their team's victory against Colorado on Saturday in true KU fashion by waving the wheat. Supporters have been following the team to road名 numbers in larger numbers this year sourced by the team's success. BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com Anna Faltermeler/KANSAN It isn't even November and already Kansas sports fans are traveling en mass to see their favorite team. A 7-0 start to the football season has reinvigorated a recently apathetic fan base, making it no longer glib to fanatically follow the perennially ranked basketball team. Kansas sold about 1,600 tickets to Saturday's game against Colorado, but the Athletics Department estimated more than 3,000 Jayhawk fans were at the contest. Colorado reported 51,940 in attendance. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the team's success had spurred ticket sales in all venues. The Jayhawks have sold out their Nov. 3 contest against Nebraska and the Nov. 23 game Kate Jayne, Park Ridge, III, senior, has seen all seven KU games in person after traveling to Manhattan and Boulder. She said she could "It will take time. This year will definitely make an impact on next year and beyond." in Arrowhead Stadium against Missouri. KATE JAYNE Park Ridge,Ill., senior Marchiony said there had been a run on tickets to Kansas' last home game Nov. 16 against Iowa State and the Athletics Department expected more of that this week. "Kansas football fans have been terrific for a long time," Marchiony said. "All it takes to get that base growing is more wins. Coach Mangino, his staff and the players are proving that, so I expect the crowds to keep getting bigger." envision a time when lajahwak football fans would follow the team with the same vocation as the school's basketball fans. This year will definitely make an impact on next year and beyond." Sarah Hogan, an Eagan, Minn., senior who also traveled to both Manhattan and Boulder, said she At Colorado, the pro-Kansas crowd, although only a percentage of total patrons, was emphatic. The Rock Chalk chant showered Folsom Field from different pockets of the stadium as the Jayhawks knelt the ball and bled the remainder of the clock to hold onto a 19-14 victory. Kansas fans then sang the Alma Mater as dejected Colorado players sulked from the field. was surprised by the large contingent of Jayhawk fans because of the long drive. "If we would have played like we did last year, we wouldn't have driven eight hours to watch them play." Hoan said. Hogan already could see the perils of apathy creeping into another team's fan bases. After experiencing nontop scorn in Manhattan, the senior said she was only mildly bothered in Boulder. "We got harassed by Colorado fans, although they were a lot friendlier than K-State fans". Hogan said. "We talked to some CU fans the night before, and I think they were expecting to lose anyway." With success comes expectation. The lajayhawes will be road favorites again on Saturday as they travel to College Station to take on Texas A&M, Marchiony said the Athletics Department had sold about 1,000 tickets as of Monday morning.

Lungs were burning, legs were aching and the players weren't finishing their sprints quickly enough. Then, the group rallied. "Some of the guys brought everyone together," freshman center Cole Aldrich said, "and said we have to suck this up and do this all together." The speakers of that motivational speech? The seniors, of course. Jeremy Case, Rodrick Stewart, Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun and Russell Robinson form the largest senior class since Michael Lee, Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien and Keith Langford graduated in 2005. The Jawhaws hope the experience, leadership and desire of the seniors will help the team reach goals of the Big 12 championship and Final Four No one would have given that boot camp speech last year. No, sir, that team had no seniors. JR. Giddens, David Padgett, Omar Wilkes and Case were originally slated to be standing underneath a shower of roses on Senior Night, but something happened on the way to heaven. Giddens ran afoul of the law, and Kansas coach Bill self kicked him off the team. Padgett and Wilkes transferred. Case redshirted for a year. Kansas went 33-5 last year without a senior, but it came one game short of the Final Four. "I feel like the urgency wasn't there." Case said. "I feel like people were like, OK, we got next year,' and this year we don't have that. I think that urgency we needed last year will be here this year." The leadership problems started at the beginning of the year. Kansas lost to Oral Roberts and had trouble closing out opponents such as Ball State. Self asked for a leader to step up. Sophomore Julian Wright called a team meeting before the Florida name, but no concrete leader ever emerged. Now none of that is in limbo. Five seniors can lead, and judging by how they handled boot camp, they're ready to do it. Case said so far they had been leading by working hard in practices in hopes that the younger players would follow them. Jackson said every senior could also be a vocal leader. "Sasha, he'll say something," Jackson said. "Jeremy, he'll say something. I'll say something. We all talk to each other. Everybody steps up to the stage and speaks. Nobody holds their tongue for anything. If somebody is slacking, Russ will get on them. If I did something wrong, Sasha will tell me I did something wrong. We all help each other out." And when the seniors speak, the underclassmen would be smart to listen. This group of seniors has won three straight Big 12 regular season titles and two straight Big 12 Tournaments. Each one of them can teach underclassmen valuable stories too. They've all been through their fair share of difficulties. Robinson didn't play for a long stretch of games his freshman year and is now one of the team's most reliable players. Jackson has gone through family tragedies and an NCAA suspension. Kaurn had to adjust to college life after only a few years in the United States. Stewart dealt with a transfer. Case is still trying to showcase his outside stroke more consistently in games. They're an accomplished group with only one year left to improve and build on earlier achievements. "They know at Kansas, we're measured at a high level, and they want to go out as being recognized as one of the winningest classes," Self said. "It's hard to do that if you win Big 12 titles and don't go to a Final Four. I'm not saying that it's Final Four or bust, but in their minds, that's what we're striving for." — Edited by Kaitlyn Syring seniors on top NCAA champions haven't always relied mainly on seniors, but they've always been on the team.

The 2008 schedule will send the Jayhawks to South Florida to play the BCS No. 10-ranked Bulls. Kansas also will have date dates against Louisiana Tech, a returning Florida International team and a game against FCS Sam Houston State led by former Oklahoma quarterback REBH Bomar The season will open on Aug. 30 against Florida International. KU Senior Associate Athletics Director Larry Keating cut a deal two years ago to secure two games against the Golden Panthers, in 2007 and 2008, for $250,000 each. KU already had canceled a 2006 game between the teams. The next week will bring Louisiana Tech to Lawrence for a $600,000 one-game guarantee. Keating originally called the Bulldogs "Louisiana Tech is a pretty good name and that isn't a big trip." Keating said. "Believe it or not, I was shocked they said we would rather play a guarantee game, asking how much could you give us, rather than play a home-and-home. We had to make a big decision to even say we are willing to go home-and-home with them." with a proposal of a home-and-home, which is an agreement that requires a trip of both teams. The third game of the year will send the Jayhawks to Tampa, Fla., for a match with South Florida. The Jayhawks beat the Bulls 13-7 last year in Lawrence. Keating and Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony expect the Sept. 13 game in Raymond James Stadium, a home the Bulls share with the NFLs Buccaneers, to be nationally televised. The Jayhawks will complete a home-and-home contract agreed to in 2005. Kansas will receive $150,000 — the same figure the University paid South Florida in 2006. Kansas will cap the nonconference slate with a $285,000 payment to Sam Houston State. The last time Kansas played Bomar, the then-Oklahoma freshman threw for 206 yards and a touchdown in a 19-3 Sooner victory in 2005 at Arrowhead Stadium. Keating said he wanted to complete the 2009, 2010, 2011 and possibly the 2012 nonconference schedules by the end of the football season. The Big 12 schedule will switch South division opponents. Baylor, Oklahoma State and Texas &M move out of the schedule. Home games against Texas and Texas Tech and a road game in Norman, Okla., against Oklahoma move into the schedule. Kansas has two finalized contracts currently. The Jayhawks will play Duke during the 2009-2010 season as part of a home-and-home deal. Kansas also agreed to a four-year series with Rice, which will include two home and two road games from 2010-2013. Keating said he kept recruiting in mmu when scheduling. "Houston is a big recruiting area for us," Keating said about the location of Rice. "That's the thing about playing away. South Florida — why is that a good game? Because we get to go to Florida, which is recruiting territory. It's the same in basketball. We try to go to the West Coast, and we try to go to Chicago." Keating said he talked to coach Mark Mangino about future match-ups before signing contracts. Keating would like to create a formula for the lahawks non Conference schedule each year; playing two teams from BCS conferences, one home and one on the road, and paying one-game guarantees for home dates against one lower-tier FBS team and an FCS team.

BIG 12 College football full of surprises; Kansas within one victory of 8-0 start BY JEFF LATZKE ASSOCIATED PRESS "I think you have to be able to handle success and adversity because both can create serious problems for you if you don't OKLAHOMA CITY Surprises have been the norm in college football this season, and it's been no different in the Big 12 Conference. Halfway through league play, the standings and the preseason poll aren't exactly carbon copies of each other — well, unless you count the bottom — and even now it's hard to choose who'll be playing in the conference championship game Dec. 1 in San Antonio. The surprise of the year has easily been Kansas. After being picked to finish fourth in the North, the No. 12 Jayhawks are a victim of their first 8-0 start since the 19th century. That has coach Mark Mangino, wod never before won more than four straight games at Kansas, dealing with different issues during his team meetings. know how to manage them," Mangino said Monday in the Big 12 coaches conference call. "I just tell our kids it's great people are recognizing you, but stay focused on the task at hand and be careful. In the end, you need to handle success just as you would handle adversity." And no one knows adversity better at this point than Nebraska coach Bill Callahan. The defending North champions have been the league's biggest disappointment this season. Picked to finish second in the division, the Huskers (4-4, 1-3 Big 12) have been blown out three straight weeks "We've got to keep upbeat and positive. There's really nothing that you can do otherwise. You can't go in the tank mentally, you can't give up, you can't point fingers," Callahan said. The South standings are jumbled too, with preseason favorite Texas getting off to an 0-2 start in league play. Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State are locked in a three-way tie for first.

ASSOCIATED PRESS NFL Colts overpower Jags, 29-7 ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — All that talk about defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis being better this season just might be true. The Colts dominated every aspect of Monday night's showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars, easily winning 29-7 and once again taking charge in the AFC South. They also moved a step close to setting up an undefeated matchup with New England (7-0). The teams meet Nov. 4. The Patriots should provide more of a challenge than the Jaguars did. Indianapolis (6-0) improved to 3-0 in the division and left jacksonville (4-2). Tennessee and Houston in the all-too-familiar chase mode. The Colts, who have won the last four division titles, also joined Green Bay (1929-31) and St. Louis (1999-2001) as the only teams in history to start 6-0 for three straight years. They made this one look easy, backing up assertions by coaches Tony Dungy and Jack Del Rio that the Colts are stronger, faster, more disciplined and simply better than they were during last year's championship run. The Colts knocked David Garrard out of the game, pretty much bottled up Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew and extended their winning streak to 11 games. Taylor and Jones-Drew spear- headed last year's 44-17 rout in Jacksonville. The Jaguars ran for a franchise-record 375 yards — a defensive meltdown that proved to be a turning point for indy. The team fixed its run defense down the stretch and then won it all. Jacksonville tried to catch the Colts off guard from the start Monday night, calling on Garrard to throw early and often. It back-fired. Garrard was knocked out of the game in the second quarter and Jacksonville's lackluster receivers dropped several balls. Meanwhile, Manning was Manning. He had plenty of time to throw, and with Marvin Harrison still nursing a sore knee, hooked up with Wayne all over the field. Manning finished 23-of-37 for 259 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. He also ran for a score. NEED CASH? Donate plasma. It pays to save a life.

BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — What happens on the track between Jeff Gordon and jimmie Johnson stays there. The teammates have mastered the balance between competition and friendship. The same can't be said for Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards, who were caught on camera in a nasty confrontation following Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway. Kenseth was about to be interviewed when Edwards, his teammate at Roush Fenway Racing, grabbed him and firmly pushed him down pit road. In videos posted on YouTube, the two are seen arguing before Edwards climbs over the pit wall. Before walking away, Edwards raised a fist as if to strike Kenseth, who noticeably flinched. A Roush Fenny spokesman said Monday the team had no immediate comment on the incident, and president Geoff Smith was out of the office and unavailable. Apparently, there's some serious animosity between Edwards and Kenseth, who first publicly criticized each other following a Busch Series race in Kansas last month. It started when Kenseth appeared to cut Edwards off midway through that race, and the contact caused Edwards to cut a tire. Edwards later wrecked — not because of Kenseth — but blamed him for it by clapping his hands and giving a thumbs-up at Kenseth as he passed by him on the track. "The reason I was mad, someone like a teammate would race me like that." Edwards said. "He may or may not have done it on purpose. He's my teammate and we've really got a Kenseth went on to finish second, and was perplexed by Edwards' anger. good relationship, so I hope we can get by this." "I don't really feel like I did anything wrong," he said. "My job's not to get out of his way all of the time. Were supposed to race each other Kenseth didn't stop before taking a slight jab at Edwards, who is running away with the Busch Series driver championship but only has the car ranked third in owner points behind entries fielded by Richard Childress Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing and "If I was getting beat for the owner's championship by a couple of guys running part-time ... it's probably got him a little worked up," Kenseth said. piloted by multiple drivers. If the two ever made up, it wasn't apparent after Sunday's Nextel Cup event. It was not exactly clear what they were even arguing about, but it likely stemmed from a mid-race restart when Reed Sorenson's car failed to take off at the green flag. It caused the traffic behind Sorenson to stack up, and Kenseth and Edwards became entangled as they tried to weave around Sorenson. They banged doors in Turn 1, and had heavier contact in Turn 3 that caused Edwards to lose track position. His anger apparently festered for the rest of the race, and when he spotted Kenseth starting a television interview, he was aggressive in interrupting to make a point. It was a stark contrast from the harmony in the Hendrick Motorsports camp, which had just witnessed another duel between championship contenders Johnson and Gordon. Johnson won Sunday's race, holding off a charge from his mentor and friend to score his series-best seventh victory of the season and tighten a championship battle that Gordon is trying to run away with. With four races remaining, Gordon holds a 53-point lead over Johnson. There's no animosity between the two, who celebrated in Victory Lane together. "I know that Jeff is going to do everything that he can to win, and I'm going to do the same," Johnson said. "We have a great deal of respect for one another." The unity is contagious at Hendrick, where driver Casey Mears also went to Victory Lane, as did several of Gordon's crew members. A week earlier, when Gordon won in Charlotte, driver Kyle Bush stopped by to congratulate him. It's a teamwork philosophy that owner Rick Hendrick spent years implementing and fostered by assembling selfless employees who focus on the big picture. "I have told them this year, last year, year before that. You won't get beat from the outside in this business once you get the momentum. It is going to happen from the inside," he said. The cohesiveness could be why Hendrick has won 15 of 32 races this season, put three drivers in the Chase and will likely get another Cup title from either Gordon or Johnson. Roush Fenway, on the other hand, put just two of its five drivers in the Chase and has just five wins on the season. Now the team appears to have a brewing problem between its top two drivers that if left to fester will only prevent the organization from ever catching up with Hendrick. 》 MLB La Russa returns, inks two-year deal to stay with Cardinals BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Tony La Russa tended to his many pets on the West Coast for a week or so and made up his mind: He wanted to keep managing. Now, he's hoping the St. Louis Cardinals can make an equally quick decision on hiring a general manager. La Russa agreed Monday to a two-year contract to stay in St. Louis, confident that the Cardinals can still be contenders. Whether he ever works out his rift with Scott Rolen, that remains to be seen. "You've got to be honest, he's probably the one guy who has issues with me," La Russa said. "You hope he's healthy, understand we have issues, and don't let it get in the way."

DeWitt expects to hire a new GM by the end of the World Series. The candidates are all currently assistant GMs, including former Jockeytop aide John Mozeliek. La Russa also said he'd got positive feedback from players with the notable exception of Rolen, the star third baseman with whom he's clashed repeatedly the past few seasons. "The sooner the better, ideally" DeWitt said. La Russa twice benched him in the 2006 playoffs, displeased that Rolen failed to disclose the extent of a shoulder injury. Rolen disagreed with the manager's handling. "I've played for a lot of managers and as far as running a bullpen, I'd put him up there with Bobby Cox as the best in the majors," reliever Russ Springer said. "He's a winning manager, the fans love him and he gets respect from managers across the league." Most of the roster is happy to have him back. La Russa said the firing of Jocketyte was not a huge surprise, given the front-office squabble that developed with lef Lahnow, vice president in charge of amateur scouting and player development. The two clashed in philosophy, Jocketyte's old-school approach vs. Lahnow's new-school numbers crunching. "I was surprised that it happened like it happened," La Russa said. "But I was not surprised there were issues." La Ruska finished a three-year deal at the end of the season. He said two years was the right length because a one-year contract would prompt questions from the start. "One is the wrong message because from spring training on it's the same deal," La Russa said. "Two lets the players know I'm back for more than one."

This is the first time the Jawahrens have 7-0 since 1995. Anna Fattermeier/KANSAN BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Since the start of the 2007 season, the Kansas football team has had its schedule second-guessed by skeptical sportswriters and its toughness questioned by the talking heads on television. During their first seven games, the Jayhawks seem to have taken the doubts as a challenge, leaving nothing to chance and no question unanswered. Here are some of the questions and answers from the first seven games of the '07 campaign: Q: WILL the Kansas pass defense be able to stop anyone? A: The Kansas pass defense has stopped everyone Central Michigan brought All-MAC quarterback Dan LeFevour to Lawrence and left with only seven points. In the final three nonconference games, the Jayhawks opponents averaged just 105.3 passing yards per game. Kansas State's Josh Freeman threw three interceptions against Kansas, and Colorado's Cody Hawkins threw two. Baylor arrived at Memorial Stadium with a young quarterback on the rise in Blake Szymanski and headed back to Waco with the spot up for grills after the lajwahks bullied three of the Bears' quarterbacks. After finishing dead last (119th) in the nation in pass defense last year, the Jayhawks are fourth in 2007. Junior cornerback Aqib Talib is playing as expected — at an All-American level, junior safety Patrick Resby and junior cornerback Kendrick Harper have been reliable additions, sophomore safety Darrell Stuckey is phenomenal now that he is finally healthy and freshman cornerback Chris Harris has surprised with his consistency. "We're just more comfortable and more confident when we're out there," Talib said. "We're getting more comfortable in the game and getting our timing down." Q: When will the jayhawks play and beat a decem opponent? A: The last three weeks. True, Southeastern Louisiana, Florida International and Toledo were duds and Central Michigan played like a team in disarray under its new coach, but Kansas provided a resounding answer to this question over the past three Saturdays. Kansas State had just defeated Texas in Austin, held home field advantage and Freeman seemed to have found his groove. That was all before Kansas arrived in Manhattan. The Jayhawk defense disrupted Freeman and the Wildcat offense enough to force three turnovers and pull off a 30-24 road victory against then-No. 24 Kansas State. Winless in Big 12 Conference play, Baylor is obviously not the class of the conference. Despite the Bears' many weaknesses, the 58-10 victory against a conference opponent was impressive. In fact, the 58 points marked the most in conference play by any Kansas team. Last weekend, Kansas did what even No. 4 Oklahoma could not — win in Boulder, Colo. The Jayhawks solved a tough Colorado defense and tamed the thin Rocky Mountain air to survive a 19-14 thriller at Folsom Field. Junior linebackers James Holt and Joe Mortensen covered the entire field, combining for 26 tackles. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing burned the Buffaloes with his legs, rushing for 84 vards. "We didn't think we could just roll Colorado over in Boulder," sophomore running back Jake Sharp said. "They have a great team and they play great at home. It's not an easy place to play and we feel happy with our turnout." Q: Sure, the team is 7-0, but this is Kansas football. Are the Jayhawks for real? A: A reporter posed a similar question to Kansas coach Mark Mangino after Kansas defeated Colorado last weekend. The coach provided a clear answer: "I'm not going to say whether we're for real or not." Mangino said. "You watch a game and see if we're for real." — Edited by Jeff Briscoe HEY BASKETBALL FANS! HEY BASKETBALL FANS! Your in for another great season and The Kansan is giving you your first look at this years team. THURSDAY OCT. 25TH (Get your copy of The Kansan and you'll get a Special Edition of the ‘07-'08 Men's Basketball Preview) THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN football notebook KICKER EARNS WEEKLY AWARD Kickers aren't usually awarded any extra points for degree-of-difficulty on field goal attempts, but Scott Webb earned an award in part because of some extra effort last Saturday. Webb earned the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week award for making two field goals against Colorado. Webb's first field goal was a bit of an adventure: A high snap and the resulting clumsy hold forced the kicker to hesitate before booting the ball 48 yards and through the uprights. Later in the game, Webb added a more routine 35-yard field goal. The 48-yard was the second-longest of Webb's career, DOMINANT DEFENSE Colorado fooled the Kansas defense several times last weekend, and the Jayhawks made stops when they needed them most. Kansas coach Mark Mangino said during a conference call Monday that sophomore safety Justin Thornton and junior linebacker James Holt were the team's key defensive players. Thornton, who did not start but played extensively in the second half against Colorado made seven tackles and had an interception. Holt dominated from the outside linebacker position, recording a career-high 15 tackles. 'SPARKY'EXPLAINED Mangino revealed the origin of sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing's nickname, Sparky, during a teleconference Monday. Reesing routinely caught the coaches' attention during practices last season because of his tendency to make exciting plays, both positive and negative Mangino said. Mangino initially described the quarterback as a sparkplug, a description he later shortened to Sparky. Asher Fusco >> NFL BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS Injuries holding back Rams on offensive, defensive lines Little played sparingly in a 33-6 loss in Seattle on Sunday, a backset that dropped the Rams' record to 0-7. He has one sack this season after getting 13 last year, and he didn't practice at all last week. ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Rams defensive end Leonard Little has been hampered in recent weeks by a torn ligament in his left big toe, an injury that will require surgery eventually. "He's going to have to have surgery on it," defensive coordinator Jim Haslett said. "Whether it's soon or at the end of the year, it depends on how well it holds up." Haslett said Little likely would not practice much, if at all, this week. He's having trouble pushing off on the rush. "I don't know the whole ramifications of a toe, but he's not real effective out there," Haslet said. "We tried to give him as much rest as he could get. To be honest with you, he just played OK." "I would say that's leaving him fairly questionable for at least the next game," coach Scott Linehan said. Center Brett Romberg was all but ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns after spraining his right ankle. Romberg started that game with a sprained left ankle. Dante Hall, a return man and wide receiver, was ruled out for a third straight game with a high left ankle sprain. Linehan said Hall had an "outside chance" of returning after the Rams' bye week following Sunday's game. "I just think it was a real serious high ankle sprain," Linehan said. "He tested it a little bit today and it's not ready." 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 Stand out this Halloween!

His opponent, Bob Sweet, has elbowed the Stillwell sophomore's eye socket, hammered his face with punches and slammed his head into the mat, bruising his forehead and leaving it pocked with blood blisters. A fan screams: "Hit him! Hit him!" But Teel, a 19-year-old with a Mohawk hairado, salvaged victory at Lawrence's first-ever cage fight card when he used a wrestling move called a guillotine choke to lock both of his arms around Sweet's neck, threatening suffocation and forcing his opponent to "tap out," the cage fight equivalent of boxing's throwing in the towel. Despite the pummeling he endured to win his fight, Teel remains among a growing number of enthusiasts of cage fighting, also known as mixed martial arts, a sport that borrows techniques from boxing and various martial arts from Muay Thai Kickboxing to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Popularized by pay-per-view fights on cable and satellite television, and banned in several states because of its brutality, cage fighting is legal in Kansas, where sanctioned fights are governed by Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts. They prohibit head butting, eye gouging, "placing a finger in any opponent." orifice," and "groin attacks of any kind." As fans learned watching Teel's September fight, those liberal rules still allow fighters to kick opponents in the face, pick them up and slam their heads into the mat, repeatedly hit them after they are down, and place them in arm- and leg-locks that can actually break limbs or prevent breathing. Some doctors say cage fighting is a sport so violent that even watching it can be dangerous. Not so, say local combatants who say it improves discipline, heightens senses, and gives them confidence in their ability to defend themselves. During the inaugural fight at Coyote's Night Club, Douglas County Fire and Medical kept an ambulance outside in case of emergency. The audience included an eclectic subculture of aging bikers, men with Mohawks and Fu Manchu moustaches, bearded men with Tie-die shirts and KU cage fighters and fans, some of whom recorded fights with cell phone cameras. A brightly illuminated cage with a red mat situated between two disco balls in the middle of the bar served as the battlefield. Armor for warriors like Teel consisted of a mouthpiece, a groin cup and lightly padded gloves that were the only barriers between fist and face. TRAIN TO STAY ALIVE Teel, whose cut eyebrow required five stitches, admitted he didn't look like a winner walking around campus after the fight. "People must have thought I was hit by a car," he said. His parents were especially unhappy to see his battered face, he said. Unlike boxing, long dominated by working class inner-city blacks and immigrants with seldom more than a high school education, cage fighting is attracting fans and fighters who learned their sport in martial arts classes taught in suburban stall malls. Teel was one of three KU students who stepped into the cage in Lawrence's first fight card. After training for one year at Integrated Martial Science, his mixed martial arts school, Teel fought his first match in Lawrence. Originally, Teel's dad urged him to take SEE FIGHT ON PAGE 4A RIGHT, Jon Teel, Stillwell sophomore, poses in a cell phone self-portrait about three hours after his cage fight debut.

When Lorraine Haricombe arrived in the United States in 1986, she saw a nation and culture starkly different from that in which she grew up. Haricome, then 33, had emigrated from South Africa with her two young daughters to pursue a master's degree in library science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne. Mandela was incarcerated from 1964 to 1990 and became South Africa's first completely democratically elected president in 1994. "We always heard about Nelson Mandela, but we were not allowed to see a picture," Haricombe said. "I did not know what he looked like until I came to Illinois. It was very exciting to have this free access to information; that was a big change from life in South Africa." The picture was of Nelson Mandela, the leader of South Africa's resistance against the country's racially separatist government. Though Haricombe had spent her entire life up to that point in South Africa, she had never seen Mandela, whose face is now internationally associated with the nation of South Africa because the apartheid government banned his image from being reproduced. Bans were not limited to photographs. "I was a librarian for 11 years before I came to the United States and I had a library where I could not buy certain books because they were banned and censored by the South African government," Haricombe said. "When I arrived in Illinois, I saw some of those books on the shelves and I could not believe that they were available for people to read. It was very exciting to see those books." Harcombe completed her master's and continued to study at Illinois, eventually receiving a doctoral degree in library science. Following the completion of her educational program, she worked at Northern Illinois University and Bowling Green State University before coming to the University of Kansas in August of last year. Haricombe described the move to Kansas as a "very new experience" for her and her husband, but sees some similarities to her previous places of residence. "The commonality between my experience in South Africa and here is that I was born, reared and lived in a big university town, and after coming here, I have lived only in university towns," she said. As dean of libraries, Haricombe oversees the budget, the programs and the effort of the libraries "to keep the libraries relevant to the students' needs." "We are here to serve the students," Haricombe said of the librarians.

ODD NEWS Sculptor's 'Spaceship' crashes down to Earth KENNESAW, Ga. — It took Finnish-born sculptor Eino roughly four months to rebuild the world. His million-dollar stone sculpture, "Spaceship Earth," mysteriously collapsed in December at Kennesaw State University. The artwork was intended to remind future generations of the Earth's fragility. Eino called the work "Spaceship Earth" to honor environmentalist David Brower, a Sierra Club leader. It depicted a bronze figure of Brower standing on the globe. The founders of PowerBar paid for the sculpture. Inadequate adhesive was initially blamed for the 175-ton, 22-foot-high sculpture's collapse, but Eino said he has reason to suspect it was vandalism. He said an expert from Holland-based Stone Advice examined the wreckage and concluded it collapsed from "mechanical-induced failure." He called the disintegration of his artwork "devastating." "I felt absolutely horrible when it came down, but I felt a responsibility to put it back up," he said. Council member Ray Helen Lawrence said she voted for the ordinance only because she got numerous calls from constituents who consider the look unfashionable. Violators could be fined $25 to $250 for a first offense, and $250 to $500 for repeat offenses. Eino said he modified the design during reconstruction to ensure his artwork made of Brazilian blue quartzite with 2,400 bronze pieces stays together. PORT ALLEN, La. — Another Cajun-country town has banned saggy pants from its streets. City makes sure residents hitch up saggy britches The ordinance, passed unanimously Monday by the Port Allen City Council, requires pants to be secured at the waist so they do not fall below the hips, expose underwear or create indecent exposure. Stephanie DeLaney, one of two women asking the council to reject the proposal, said lightheartedly that she has lost weight, so she sometimes wears baggy pants. "I'd hate for someone to call the cops on me for that," she said.

Wash. — An 8-year-old boy riding in a car with his mom called 911 several times to report that she wasn't "acting normal," leading to her arrest for drunken driving and other charges, authorities said. Paulette Lynn Spears, 33, was arrested Saturday after she drove to a fire station and said she had a medical problem. Based on the boy's description of what he could see from the car, as well as by GPS phone call tracking, deputies arrived at the station less than a minute later. At one point, Spears took a cell phone from the boy, told the dispatcher not to worry and hung up, Sheriff's Sgt. Randon M. Walker said. "The mother kept interru- ting the 8-year-old," he said. "It happened at least twice." At one point, Walker said, Spears apparently bit the boy's hand to get the telephone away from him.

Me, the second season of *Mendies*' show, "Mind of Mendez," was *Comedy Central*'s highest rated program behind "South Park." BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com From the television to the silver screen and now straight to Kansas City, Mo., Carlos Mencia shares his comedic insight. Mencia, who also hosts the popular Comedy Central show "Mind of Mencia," will perform at 7 p.m. at the Music Hall in Kansas City, Mo., located at 301 W. 13th St. Mencia, who tried to get Kansas City as a tour stop on his tour last year, said he had been coming to Kansas City for years and had built a strong relationship with the city and the people. "I love it, it's just a great city." Mencia said. "I dig how half of the city is in Kansas, of course, and the other half is in Missouri. It's incredibly hysterical." "I just say things you would say if you were in private with close friends." standards and it could be a bass at times he said that the reward of having a popular show made it all worth it. Mencia said he attended California State University and planned to be an engineer. He always had things to talk about, but had no outlet because his mom didn't approve of his comedy. He credited his friends who took him to watch and perform stand-up as his inspiration for tackling comedy. "Racism is not making a comment," Mencia said. "Racism is saying I won't have a black person on my show. Or that I won't have Since debuting in the summer of 2005, Mencia's television show, "Mind of Mencia," has been so successful that the second season of the show was ranked as Comedy Central's highest rated program ever behind "Sark Park." The program will return for its fourth season in the spring. Mencia said he thought the show would be popular when it first started but was surprised by the level of popularity it has gained. CARLOS MENCIA Comedian "The best part about the show is I get to show people who I am," Mencia said. He said he had to adjust certain parts of the show for Comedy Central and television Since the start of his show, various critics have accused Mencia of talking about too sensitive of issues. Some critics said he used racist jokes but Mencia doesn't pay attention to any of his critics. a white person on my show. But I have had every kind of race on the show." He likened his comedy to a "complicated knock-knock joke." He said that he didn't understand those who criticized his jokes after they learned what was on the other side of the door. Mencia said his jokes stemmed from reality and that he simply talked about things people discuss when not in public. "I just say things you would say if you were in private with close friends," Mencia said. "I say what you want to say, I'm just the guy who gets shit for it." Brent Bollwitz, Ewing, Neba, sophomore, said Mencia's willingness to be honest was what made him a great comedian. "The thing that makes Carlos unique as a comedian is the fact that he's not afraid to tell it how it truly is." Bollwitt said. "He utilizes so many American-held stereotypes in his acts which you know people may be thinking, but are too afraid to come out and say themselves." In addition to his stand-up tour and television show, Mencia has been making the transition to movies, including the recently released "The Heartbreak Kid," in which he played Uncle Tito alongside Ben Stiller. "It was great working with Ben and the Farrely brothers — unbelievable," Mencia said. He said more films were on the way and that he would do film while continuing his popular television show. Larry McDonald, Olate resident and a fan who plans to attend Mencia's show tonight, said he thought Mencia would be great in film. "He's a guy with a lot of talent and I'm sure he'll do just as successful in movies as he has TV if he continues to make them," he said. Mencia said fans should expect the unexpected because nothing was staged for tonight's show. Tickets are still available for $36 and $41 depending on seating and can be purchased through Ticketmaster. com or at the Music Hall. "I don't know what I'm going to talk about a minute before I go on stage," Mencia said. "I fly by the seat of my pants and make sure I don't ignore the audience."

Edited by Ashlee Kieler GOVERNMENT Oversight of private guards could increase in Iraq WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is expected to endorse new recommendations to boost government oversight of private guards who protect U.S. diplomats in Iraq. A day after receiving the proposals from an independent panel, Rice was preparing Tuesday to order the implementation of those that can be taken unilaterally by the State Department, her spokesman, Sean McCormack said. Rice also plans to speak by phone with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, currently on an overseas trip, about those that will require joint action with the Pentagon, McCormack said. Rice was briefed Monday on the findings of the panel she created in the aftermath of a deadly Sept. 16 shooting in Baghdad in which Blackwater USA guards were accused of killing 17 Iraqi civilians. The panel's recommendations broke down into three sections: actions already taken, steps that can be taken by the State Department alone and measures that need Defense Department coordination. Earlier this month, Rice accepted several preliminary suggestions to improve oversight of security contractors, including having federal agents accompany Blackwater-escorted diplomatic convoys, installing video cameras in security vehicles and improving and recording audio communication between diplomats and the military. The panel's final report found poor communication between diplomats and military officials and too little oversight of contractors like Blackwater, two people familiar with the report's findings told the Associated Press.

Teel taught a self-defense class last spring and planned to teach a cardio-kickboxing class for women at the school in the near future. He aspires to own a gym of his own.

By night, he teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Integrated Martial Science, coaches cage fighters and has entered into the cage himself. Riley said a cage fighter could defeat an opponent by subduing him with a submission hold, battering an opponent until he quit or the referee stopped it, or by decision of the judges after three five-minute rounds. When his fighters get into the cage, Riley can no longer help them. "It has to be so drilled into them and second nature. That's what people don't understand about fighting.

With Sears pinned against the plastic-coated chain-link cage, defenseless against Cox's punches, the referee stopped the fight. Sears collapsed face-first to the mat as worried medics and coaches rushed into the cage through its swinging door. Sears stood up, walked to his opponent and lifted him up in acclaim of his victory. KANSAS SHOWDOWNS Sponsors at Sears' fight ranged from aerobic coaches to senior care providers. In the middle of the Ararat Shrine Temple, a purple-matted cage illuminated by four industrial work lights framed the action. Two ring girls in black stretch short-shorts, skin-tight white shirts and tall platform boots strutted, danced and entertained in the cage between fights to metal, country and rap music. A cameraman recorded the action, some of which was later uploaded to YouTube. The referee wore clear rubber gloves to protect himself from the blood, sweat and saliva of the brawlers, who rush to batter each other at the ring of a 10-inch bronze bell.

The referee stopped the skirmish for fear Sears would break Miller's arm. (1) Sears wrestled at Shawnee Heights High School before graduation in 2001 and decided to try cage fighting after watching the Ultimate Fighting Championship on television. While that champion won big money, amateur fighters such as Sears get no tangible compensation beyond the respect earned in the 24-square-foot octagonal cage. "It's not something to pursue for fame and money," explained the bearded Sears, who stands 5'5", weighs 145-pounds and earns his living throwing boxes on a conveyor belt at a K-Mart distribution center in Lawrence. Sears said training and fights brought sore joints, battered knuckles, muscle bruises, bloody faces and sometimes broken bones. "Somewhere, it always hurts. You just get used to it," Sears said.

WITHOUT A COACH, WITHOUT A DEFEAT A lanky 6'3", Windholz has won his two amateur cage fights. He won his debut in Kansas City by choking his opponent with his legs, called a "triangle choke." Most recently, he defeated Seth Anderson, another KU student, in Lawrence's first fight card. Windholz took Anderson to the mat and began throwing a flurry of punches to his face when the referee stopped the match. Windholz escaped both of his fights relatively unharmed, he said, with a black eye and sore nose his only injuries. "I'm sure there's going to be a time when I get punched back hard," said Windholz, who has trained in Judo and Tae Kwon Do.

The Leavenworth resident regularly judges cage fights. Fights aren't typically long blood baths but instead are over in a flash, said Holmes, whose personal fight experience stretches from wrestling to Tae Kwon Do. Now, he says he's too old to fight, so he judges matches and gets "the best seat in the house."

"I don't like it when they drop them on their heads," Bezingue said. All fighters probably suffer from head injuries but leave them untreated, she noted. "These are tough guys. They don't want to be babied," she said. Head injuries like the concussions Bezingue worries about are common in a sport where fighters endure multiple blows to the cranium. One doctor at the University of Kansas Hospital said MMA fights can "have some serious consequences." MAY CAUSE INJURY CAUTION: Y CAUSE INJURY Michael Moncurce, associate professor of surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center and director of trauma at the Hospital, said repeated trauma to the brain can scatter a person's concentration and give them anger and behavioral issues. Head trauma injuries like minor concussions or head bleeds can add up to major health issues over the years, he said. "If someone were to have a concussion before they fully recover and be subject to an additional severe concussion, or worse, a bleed to the brain, its life-threatening" he said. So far, only one MMA fighter has met his death during a match. It happened in 1998 during a match in Ukraine where American fighter Douglas Dedge took multiple blows to the head from Yeygeni Zoltarev and died of severe brain injuries. Another MMA fighter, a KU student named Matthew Jaeger, was charged last week with severely beating his ex-girlfriend, who was still hospitalized after having undergone two undisclosed surgeries. The clerk of the Douglas County District Court stated that Jaeger's bond was set at $850,000. Exposure to bone-crushing, concussion-causing cage fights has both popularized the sport and energized critics who find harm in just watching it. Viewing such violent programs could lead to aggressive behavior, the Federal Communications Commission suggested earlier this year. Press accounts of the incident focused on Jaeger's training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which Riley, a teacher of the martial art, said was unfair and misleading. "It's a shame that it was even involved in the news story. I just don't see the connection," said Riley, who explained that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was for self-improvement and self-defense rather than aggression toward others. In its report on violence in the media, the FCC found that "there is deep concern among many American parents and health professionals regarding harm from viewing violence in media. We also agree with the views of the Surgeon General that there is strong evidence that exposure to violence in the media can increase aggressive behavior in children, at least in the short term." KIDS SOAK UP THE VIOLENCE "It not going to make everybody who watches it violent," he said. "Most people won't go and beat someone up. If you have someone who is violent in the first place, it can Eric Vernberg, professor in the clinical child psychology program at the University of Kansas, warns that children can become frightened or angry when they view graphic violence in the media, including Ultimate Fighting Championships on cable channels like the Spike network. Vernberg, who researched how children with violent histories can become provoked when they view violence in the media, said programs that glamorize extreme violence could provide a model for aggressive behavior and show how a dominant person can control somebody else. BLOOD ISN'T A NECESSITY Nate Mass, Leawood senior, is one fan who regularly watches violent cage fights on television, YouTube or downloaded to a computer. His computer hard drive is nearly half full of MMA videos. Mass called cage fighters modern-day and their 'hobby sport an outlet from which to vent rage. He's picky about which fights he watches. He doesn't like the bloody mayhem of the Ultimate Fighting Championship but prefers a fight with strategy, such as Pride Fighting Championship, a Japan-based MMA league. "I don't really like it when it's bloody," Mass said. "After a few rounds, some UFC guys look like boated raccoons." Mass and other local MMA fans had their first chance to attend a live cage fight in Lawrence at Coyote's in September. Cowboy murals lined the wall, their orange, green and yellow paint illuminated by black lights. The sell-out crowd of about 1,000 formed a line a football field in length to buy tickets that cost at least $20 each. Mark "The Wolverine" Sears, one of the winners that evenning, insisted that cage fight fans weren't there to see rage, hysterical ferocity or blood. The three five-minute rounds are a respectful violence, he explained, "a really intense game that involves getting kicked in the face."

Mark Dent NATION Wildfires threaten homes, businesses in California SAN DIEGO — Walls of flame consumed hundreds of homes across Southern California on Tuesday, and authorities ordered people in more than 350,000 homes to flee the flames. The blazes bedeviled firefighters as fires roared from mountain passes to the coastline, spreading so quickly that even hotels serving as temporary shelters for evacuees had to be evacuated. Two people have been killed. By day three, the dozen wildfire had burned more than 1,300 homes and businesses, and the destruction may only be the start for the region. With temperatures rising and winds remaining fierce, the flames were proving nearly impossible to fight. Marilee Bishop of Running Springs and her 10 year-old daughter, Erica, rubbed their eyes Tuesday morning as they woke up in a Wal-Mart parking lot where they spent the night after being forced to leave their home. "No one ever expects something like this to happen to them," said Bishop. Since they began Sunday, the fires have burned at least 583 square miles — an area larger than New York City. Fully a quarter of the California coast was ablaze. Flames climbed halfway toward the Nevada line, devastating numerous communities. Associated Press Floods ravage New Orleans 》 WEATHER Rains pour in cities recovering from Hurricane Katrina BY CAIN BURDEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — Heavy rains lashed the flood-prone city Monday, inundating areas that had only recently recovered from Hurricane Katrina and leading the Army Corps of Engineers to close a gate on a suburban canal where the waters threatened to top the walls. After more than 8 inches of rain fell on parts of New Orleans by late afternoon, Mayor Ray Nagin shut City Hall early, and schools also closed. People were asked to stay indoors until the flood potential subsided. More rain was expected overnight. Waist-high water in parts of eastern Orleans soaked businesses, some of which had recently reopened after being damaged by 2005's Hurricane Katrina. All the city's pumps were working properly, emergency preparedness officials said. Still, they urged motorists to stay off the streets to avoid creating wakes that could send water into homes and businesses. Officials closed a gate on the Harvey灌井 in Jefferson Parish; it was one of several in the area placed under new safety guidelines after Katrina's waters breached two New Orleans canals, causing catastrophic The corps has worked to strengthen the canal, about five miles from downtown, but engineers worried that water being driven into it might lead to flooding.

BY MATTHEW PENNINGTON ASSOCIATED PRESS Five days after the suicide bombing that killed at least 136 at her homecoming procession in Karachi, Bhutto said her lawyer received a letter from an unidentified "friend of al-Qaida" threatening to slaughter her "like a goat." Bhutto said the letter was addressed to her lawyer, Farooq Naik, and had been left for him at the Supreme Court in Islamabad. She said Naik was alerting the chief justice of the threat. "They are trying to derail the democratic process because they know if the people are employed and educated the forces of extremism and terrorism will be weakened," she said. "There are elements who want who to kill us." Bhutto said at her heavily guarded residence in this southern city. "They are petrified that the Pakistan People's Party will return (to power) and that democracy will return." The authenticity of the letter could not be confirmed. Bhutto said the writer claimed to be the "head of the suicide bombers and a friend of al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden." Bhutto returned Thursday from eight years in exile to campaign for parliamentary elections due in January, after months of talks with President Gen. Pervez Musharraf that could see them working side-by-side in the next government. She said that after discussions, her party had decided she should avoid staging mass rallies because of the risk of suicide and roadside bombings, but would still address public meetings. "The party decided I should go from Karachi to Islamabad, Lahore or Larkana (Bhutto's hometown) in the next couple of days. We will not be holding public rallies but will be traveling to meet the people in other provinces," she said. Bhutto has blamed alleged extremist elements in the government and the security apparatus for the bombing that ripped through Thursday's rally in Karachi — claims the government denies. bers of the ruling party, including its chief, were behind Thursday's attack. She alleges they include remnants of the regime of former military leader Gen. Zia-ul Haq, who oversaw muadheeen groups that fought the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, then became Taliban and al-Qaida. She alleges some mem- That has raised questions about how the parties could form a coalition in support of Musharraf after the elections. Although Bhutto and Musharraf are rivals, both are moderates keen to combat religious extremism. And Musharraf has signed an amnesty to quash graft cases against Bhutto. Bhutto's party has said she is on a list of people who are not allowed to leave the country, but local media reports say that is not the case. He said there is "nothing of this sort" between her party and the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Q but maintained they were both likely to be part of the next coalition. He forecast they would be joined by the Islamist Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam party — whose deputy leader met with Bhutto on Tuesday. Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, a close musharraf aide, predicted Tuesday that the People's Party would be part of the next government. "There is good understanding between Gen. Pervez Musharraf and Benazir Bhutto," he said. However, Ahmed said he did not expect Bhutto to become prime minister for a third time.

Discovery blasted off at 11:38 a.m., ducking through clouds. It carried a giant Tinkertoy-type link that must be installed at the space station before European and Japanese laboratories can arrive. Despite a forecast calling for rain right at launch time, the weather ended up cooperating. And a chunk of ice on plumbing between the external fuel tank and Discovery — 4 inches by $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches — was deemed too small by NASA to pose a serious launch hazard. It appeared to be melting as the countdown entered its final minutes. Launch director Mike Leinbach wished the crew good luck and Godspeed just before liftoff. "We're ready to take Harmony to her new home," replied commander Pamela Melroy, referring to the new space station compartment aboard Discovery. Discovery's fuel tank was modified following the last mission to prevent dangerous ice buildup from the super-cold liquid hydrogen and oxygen, and reduce the potential for launch debris. The patch of ice that had NASA scrambling less than two hours before launch cropped up on a pipe that carries the hydrogen from the tank into the shuttle, and was stuck mostly to a baggy material. It appeared to harmlessly break loose at the moment of liftoff, as NASA suspected it would. At least six pieces of foam insulation fell off the fuel tank during liftoff, but it was well past the crucial first two minutes and therefore posed no risk to Discovery, said Bill Gerstenmaier. NASA's space operations chief. The shuttle wings, however, were not altered in any way, even though a safety engineering group pressed for a delay because of concern over three panels with possible flaws. Melroy, only the second woman to lead a shuttle mission, expressed her confidence late last week about flying Discovery, as have many of the senior managers who decided to skip wing repairs. A possible cracking problem with the protective coating on three of the wing panels was deemed an acceptably low risk. A hole in the wing brought down Columbia in 2003, the result of a strike by a slab of fuel-tank foam insulation at liftoff. Discovery and its crew are embarking on a two-week mission that is considered the most challenging and complex in the nine years of orbital assembly of the international space station. The shuttle is carrying up an Italian-built live-in compartment, about the size of a small bus, that the astronauts will attach to the space station. The name Harmony was the choice of schoolchildren who took part in a national competition. About 130 of those youngsters traveled to Cape Canaveral to witness the launch. Also on hand for the launch was "Star Wars" director and writer George Lucas. Packed aboard Discovery is the Lightsaber used by the character Luke Skywalker in 1983's "Return of the Jedi" to mark the 30th anniversary of the first "Star Wars" film. the next few months. The European lab, named Columbus, is targeted for a Dec. 6 launch. Discovery's ontime departure Tuesday kept the Columbus mission on track. "Congratulations everybody. The beans are on," an animated Leinbach told his team once Discovery safely reached orbit. NASA has a post-launch tradition of celebrating with beans and cornbread. "Let's get on to the next launch in December," said Christopher Scolese, NASA's No. 2 man. After they arrive at the space station on Thursday, Discovery's astronauts also will move a massive girder and set of solar wings from one part of the orbiting complex to another. That work will involve extending radiators as well as the folded solar wings — 240 feet from tip to tip when outstretched. In all, five spacewalks are planned, four to complete this construction job and one to test a method for fixing damaged shuttle thermal tiles using a cauling gun and high-tech goo. The demonstration with sample tiles was added after Endeavour suffered a gouge to its belly during the last launch in August from a piece of flyaway fuel-tank foam. NASA Seven astronauts boarded the space shuttle Discovery Tuesday to fly to the international space station. The crew is ferrying a space station compartment called Harmony. ASSOCIATED PRESS WORLD Missile defense action put on hold BY ROBERT BURNS ASSOCIATED PRESS PRAGUE, Czech Republic — The Bush administration has told Moscow it may delay activation of a proposed U.S. missile defense system in Europe until it has "definitive proof" that Iran poses a missile threat, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday. A senior Russian official repeated the Kremlin view that the U.S. misreads Iran's missile potential. And in Washington, President Bush asserted that a U.S.-linked missile defense system is urgently needed in Europe, illustrating the depth of the divide between former Cold War adversaries. Bush said intelligence estimates show Iran could have the abil- tory to strike the United States and many European allies by 2015. The Americans say the Russian estimate is 2015 to 2020. Russia has long opposed U.S. missile defenses, which currently are limited to a fledgling system based mainly in Alaska, California and Colorado, on grounds that it might undermine the deterrent value of its nuclear arsenal. More broadly, Moscow worries at steps toward closer U.S.-European security ties. As for the proposal Gates described Tuesday, the Russians have expressed interest but not agreement. At a news conference after meeting with Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, Gates said the U.S. would proceed with current plans to build a missile interceptor base in Poland and an associated radar in the Czech Republic, but it might be willing to wait before putting them in working order.

'Because you're a really pretty girl and usually really pretty girls aren't nice at all—they don't have to be. But you're not like that, you're the prettiest and nicest person I've ever met.' Mymom is always half embarrassed to tell the story of how she and my dad met. But really, there's no other way it could've happened. Had they met at a church potluck, for instance, it would not have been awe-inspiring to watch my dad eat potato salad. Luckily, though, my mom first met my dad at Freemen's in 1976. That night he lit a disco inferno in her heart that is still burning 32 years later. Freemen's punctuated its pulsating disco beats with the sweet and simple twang of a country two step and my father could do it all. His Hustle was as strong as his West Texas Waltz and my poor mother had no choice. When she joined him on the dance floor that night, some part of her knew that she was going to be dancing with David Lott for as long as they both would live. Not that my dad had much choice in the matter either. How do you not fall in love with the prettiest and nicest person you've ever met? How do you not fall in love with the most amazing dancer you've ever seen? The fact is, you do. You don't have any other choice.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2007 PAGE 9A Internet release is refreshing, new form for music industry Radiohead's new album challenges former music industry methods and restores power to individual, music-savvy consumer PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA Dominated by greedy record labels and challenged by subversive file sharers, the music industry is in need of serious reform. The term "music industry" in itself is depressing. In general, music making has had art stripped off from it and replaced by capitalist impulsions. Record producing concentrates on creating that catchy single and an image that will drive CD sales. As Ani DiFranco sings in her song, "Fuel," "Now everything is cross-marketing/it's about sunglasses and shoes/or guns and drugs/you choose/wet it rehashed/we got it half-assed." Indeed, it's a really bleak industry. However, a recent record released has sparked some hope of liberation. On Sept. 30, Radioadie released their album, "In Rain" bows," online. The price? Whatever you want to pay. It can be 50 cents or $50. This has caused some significant turmoil. Radiohead, one of the world's most innovative and influential bands, has gotten rid of the middleman and established the commercial relationship directly with the fans. This means that no longer is the price arbitrarily instituted, but that the value is directly attached to the quality of the music, which, like all art, is relative to each individual's opinion. It also means that Radiohead can now exercise all the creative freedom they want. No more music executives, who care only about returns, insisting on more marketable songs. This novel enterprise should satisfy both artists and fans, which are the only ones that really matter It's interesting that in the music industry all CDs cost about the same price, regardless of the quality of the music or the effort put into it. Crappy music, good music, it's all in the same price range. The value paid is not a direct reflection of the music itself, but of promotional efforts, image packaging and herd mentality. We no longer pay for the music, but for a product, and there is a big difference between the two. Contemporary music has ceased to be a form of art and transformed into meaningless recreation. The mainstream music industry has strayed away from the real beauty of music. The creation and popularization of songs is no longer an organic, grassroots and communal project. It has become a top-down approach in which record labels dictate what gets air space and impose what are supposed to be the popular songs. However, there is still resistance. Some of the most dynamic, creative and influential segments of music, such as jam bands and the electronic scene, exercise this communal spirit. The sharing of live recordings and mixed tapes are common practice, and an intrinsic part of these scenes. The Internet is a great channel to restore the democratic spirit of music. It challenges the power structure in which record labels control the channels, and people are able to explore new artists through file sharing and forums. The fact that Radiohead is acknowledging and contributing to this experience shouldn't be taken lightly, and they should be praised for it. So, feel free to continue file sharing, but if you're going to get "In Rainbows," at least acknowledge Radiohead's enterprise and do it through their Web site. De Oliveira is a Belo Horizonte, Brazil junior in journalism, history and peace and conflict studies. DRAWING BOARD THIS IS MY FIRSTBORN. HIS NAME IS JEFFY, AND I THINK HE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO COVER MY SPRING TUITION. I'M SORRY SIR. THAT'S REALLY JUST A FIGURE OF SPEECH. KU ONLY ACCEPTS TODDLERS AND OLDER IN LIEU OF PAYMENT. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Having recently read Zach White's article in today's Kansan, In today's Kansan, "A draft would make people reconsider support for war." I have to say that I am less than pleased. I served in the United States Navy for 6 years, and to be honest, the idea that the draft should be used as a means by which to indoctrinate people into a more liberal, or any political viewpoint for that matter, is offensive. I can understand the point of having a draft to ensure national security, but to suggest that it should be reintroduced to "scare" people into pacifism, whether the pacifism is warranted or not, is unacceptable. And to be honest, the threat of death to change one's political view smacks of Stalin's purges. MAY RINKFI Perhaps the numerous movies of kids burning their draft cards during Vietnam has furthered the notion that reinstating a draft would bring about some grand resurgence in political activism. I would have to say that if people studied their history a bit more in depth, then they would realize that there were many more issues in the 1960's besides the draft that had people enraged. Does anyone remember civil rights? There shouldn't have to be threats to make people politically active or to worry about right or wrong. The protests in the past weren't about the draft per se, they were about inequality and governmental unresponsiveness. The draft was merely a symptom of the times, especially since it took more than its fair share of low income and minority men to fight. The solution to today's political problems is not the absurd. People risking their lives for us is not a joke, whether or not you agree with the politics of the government that sends them in harm's way. No one has been drafted, and because of our professional military, I doubt anyone will. At a time when more students know the name of Paris Hilton's dog than the significance of Darfur, we perhaps would be better served by a more serious discussion of world events.

Students gathered to learn more about the Brazilian culture Tuesday in the Kansas Union Ballroom. KU Brazilians promote culture BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com The Brazilian Student Association will host Brazilian week for the next three days. Pedro Dos Santos, Rio de Janeiro graduate student and president of BRASA, said the organization usually celebrated Brazilian week in the spring, but they decided to have an additional celebration this year in the fall. He said the decision was made partly to promote the Brazilian culture and partially to get the campus in the mood for a party they will have Friday night. "The party is always fun because in Brazil we know how to party," Dos Santos said. Dandara, a Brazilian band from California, will headline the theme party "Welcome to the Jungle." Melissa Rogers, Lawrence senior, said she had seen Dandara at a BRASA Carnival a few years ago. Rogers said she had made a lot of good friends by going to BRASA events. they get everybody to dance." Rogers said. "I remember the singer being really energetic." "It's a really high-energy band and Tuesday night Brazilian students demonstrated dance moves at a Brazilian dance workshop. Tonight at the Burge Union several speakers will talk at a symposium devoted to the Amazon. Dos Santos said they chose that topic to tie in to the theme of the week. Thursday evening BRASA will provide cheese rolls and Guarana and invite students to come and speak Portuguese and play traditional Brazilian instruments in the basement of Ecumenical Christian Ministries. The event is free. The Friday night concert is at 9 p.m. at the Granada and will conclude the festivities. Tickets are available at the Student Union Activities box office and are $7. Edited by Rachael Gray Joint Chiefs Chairman talks military SPEAKER Adm. Mullen discusses armed forces with troops, press at Fort Leavenworth G.J. PALMER Captain John Kirby discusses the importance of the relationship between the U.S. Armed Forces and the media. He specified how context needs to be conveyed in articles so U.S. citizens understand the full story. BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Aïn, Michael Mullen, the newly appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff visited Fort Leavenworth on Tuesday to talk to troops about the current state of the military and what the future may hold. Mullen was appointed to his new position on Oct. 1. He said the military would have to adapt to the changing times and a new kind of warfare. "We face a perpetually vexing question," Mullen said. "How do we prepare for the future without repeating what we've already done?" He said the military would have to become "faster, more adaptable and more lethal" to answer current challenges in the Middle East. He said that although he thought the United States was succeeding in the war in Iraq, the problems in the Middle East would not go away anytime soon. "There is persistent conflict in the foreseeable future," he said. "We will win our nation's war." Mullen said he felt a comprehensive military strategy should be applied to all of the Middle East, not just Iraq and Afghanistan. He cited Iran's increasing nuclear capability as an example. "With Iran comes a lot of very strong, sometimes extreme rhetoric that supports terrorism," he said. "The diplomatic world has unanimously voted against where Iran is headed." A soldier in the audience asked Mullen if a military draft of civilians "I give the American people more credit than some. They know what is going on. They're providing hundreds of billions of dollars for our efforts." ADM, MICHAEL MULLEN Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was being considered to bolster the armed forces. "This is the best military I think this nation has ever had," Mullen replied. "I'm old enough to remember when we were a draft force. I'm not anxious to return to that." Mullen said another important goal of the military was to branch out and communicate more with other armed force divisions such as the Navy and Air Force. "The military can't just do it all," be said. Mullen said he also hoped the military could improve relations with civilians. He said while many members of the public opposed the war in Iraq, their support for the troops remained strong. "I give the American people much more credit than some," he said. "They know what is going on. They are providing hundreds of billions of dollars for our efforts." Capt. John Kirby, spokesman for Mullen, said the interaction of the military with members of the press and public was essential to the military's success. "What it comes down to is relationships", Kirby said. "Where a back-and-forth relationship between the military and others is strong, the military is strong. The key is relationships and trust." Mullen said he was unsure when large troop reductions could be made in Iraq. He did say that he would like to see troops stay at home longer after completing long tours overseas. "They're going to come home and their families want them home," he said. Edited by Luke Morris CLINIQUE FREE 8-PIECE GIFT YOUR BONUS WITH ANY CLINIQUE PURCHASE OF 21.50 OR MORE.

It's a story about grit, perseverance, and dreams. It's a story about the Rudys of the world, the Christian Moodys, and the Tyler Hoffmeisters. BASKETBALL Who's Tyler Hoffmeister? He's the familiar-looking guy at the tucked-away table at Big 12 basketball media day. He's the guy sitting thirty-feet across the room from Texas sophomore DJ Augustin as a reporter chats up the pre-season-Big 12 player of the year. He's the guy sitting diagonal from Bill Self, as the Kansas coach holds court with a group of roaming reporters. It's an organized maelstrom at Big 12 basketball media day, but there's Hoffmeister in the corner, sitting alone while reporters scratch their heads, wondering about the kid with the balding head, gawky smile, and squinty eyes. So why does he look so familiar? Three years ago Tyler Hoffmeister never imagined he would be sitting in a room full of reporters being interviewed along with some of the best college basketball players in the country. Hoffmeister thought he left his basketball career behind in The Woodlands High School in The Woodlands, Texas, a suburb of Houston. He wanted to go to college at a big university with a good medical program. But after two years of sweaty afternoons on the basketball court at the rec center, Hoffmeister stumbled upon an opportunity. This one was historic. Right up there with Thomas Jefferson saying "Hey Lewis and Clark, do you want to explore the Louisiana purchase?" Whoa — wait — It's the kid from Knight School! Hoffmeister got the chance to play for legendary Texas Tech head coach Bob Knight. You know, Bobby Knight, the chairthrowing, sound byte spewing, master of the motion offense? Well in February 2006, Knight and ESPN collaborated on a reality show titled "Knight School." The show planned to award a walk-on spot on the Texas Tech basketball team to a regular student. Hoffmeister was one of 16 students picked to appear on the show. "When the show started," Hoffmeister said, "I knew I had a pretty good chance because I had played against most of those other guys at the rec center." The 6-foot-6 forward ended up being right. Hoffmeier survived the show, and Bob Knight offered him a spot at the end of the Texas Tech bench. Fast-forward a year and a half later and Hoffmeier still hasn't stopped smiling. "If you would have told me three years ago that I'd be at the Big 12 media day, I would never would have believed you," Hoffmeister said. This is Hoffmeister's second season on the team. Last year, he played in four games His career high in minutes came when he scored played four minutes against the University of Arkansas — Little Rock. He still hasn't missed a shot in his Texas Tech career. He was one for one last season, and he received a standing ovation when he scored his first point. Conventional wisdom — and a television announcer or two — usually suggests that people can simply identify with walk-ons. They see the kids from the end of the bench run into the game as the clock winds down and they think, hey, I could be that guy. Why do people love walk-ons so much? But there's more. SEED DODD ON PAGE 8B At Kansas, walk-ons are so much more than the players who get to play during the rock chalk chant. They define Kansas basketball. They're the kids who go 100 miles per hour every day at practice with the full knowledge that they aren't going to play. You could make a three-page list of former Kansas walk-ons who could have been on scholarship at another school, but instead 2007 BIG 12 CHAMPION 50 KANSAN FILE PHOTO Walk-on basketball players go through all the same stresses as scholarship players. But they don't get scholarships or see as much court time as their recruited teammates. Walk-ons typically make the team by excelling in open tryouts. Living the dream as walk-ons Witherspoon returns for second season BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com The chant would carry from the student section to the ears of Kansas coach Bill Self near the end of blowouts last season; "Bra-ad Wither-spoon." "Bra-ad Wither-spoon." Brennan Bechard and Matt Kleinmann dove for loose balls during their mop- up minutes. Mario Chalmer and Darrell Arthur relaxed and enjoyed the victory. Brad Witherspoon sat alone at the far end of the bench focused on the court like hed never seen a basketball game before. The fans would keep screaming until their favorite walk-on knelt in front of the scorer's table: "Bra-ad Wither-spoon" "Bra-ad Wither-spoon." This year the chants will continue. Witherspoon, who walked-on after trying out last year, is back for a final season. "He's withstood the test of time with me. He works hard and has been a good teammate." "He withstood the test of time with me," Self said. "He works hard and has been a good teammate. So yeah, he'll be back. I like Brad a lot." Coaches selected Witherspoon to walk on for the team after he tried out with 16 other players. Held finally made the team after trying out and being turned down the previous two years. For a Humboldt native who turned down junior college offers to pursue his goal of becoming a walk-on, it was a dream come true. Few KU basketball stories tugged at the heart like Witherspoon's did last year. When school started last year he was a normal student. Ree Center courts were the only ones he thought he'd be playing on last winter. It all changed Oct. 18. The experience only got better as the sea. son went on. Witherspoon only played 17 minutes all year, but he enjoyed them. The biggest highlight came in February against Nebraska. Witherspoon put his stamp on the blowout when he received an inbounds pass and laid the ball in as the clock ticked away. His basket meant every Kansas player scored that day. BILL SELF Coach "It was a great experience, probably the best thing I've done my entire life," Witherpoon said. "Just being around these guys everyday, coming to practice, playing in the Fieldhouse every day and running out of the tunnel for games were the best." Teahan and Chase Buford to walk on for the team, extending the roster to 17 players. Witherspoon expected Self to meet him at some point before school ended, but he never did. Witherspoon's return seemed in doubt soon after the season ended. Self invited freshmen Conner So Witherspoon stayed. He stayed for summer weights. He stayed for the pick up games. He stayed for the conditioning runs. "I like having Spoon around, man," said Jackson, a senior forward. "He never talks negative, never downs anybody and he's always encouraging everybody. Even if I'm having a bad day in practice, he'll be like 'D-Block, you all right man. Come on, let's do it. Let's finish strong.' Sometimes you need that person to come up to you when you're The coaches never told him to leave, and soon it was time for practice to start. Witherspoon was officially back, Teammates such as Darnell jackson liked Witherspoon's attitude and were glad hed be playing for another year. CEE WITHERSPOON ON PAGE 8B Buford uses criticism as fuel to be better BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com The whispers started in middle school The whispers started in middle school. "He's only here because of his dad," and, "He's not good enough." Chase Buford has dealt with expectations and criticism from being the son of San Antonio Spurs general manager and former Kansas graduate assistant R.C.Buford nearly all his life. Now, as an invited freshman walk-on, Buford is ready to make sure Kansas fans don't just think of him as R.C.'s son. "it's something that I'm not always happy someone knows." Butford said about his father's basketball celebrity. "I don't go around boasting or anything. I try to live my life as normal as I can." Buford's likely not going to draw too much ire from fans during his stint as a walk-on, but he did when he signed in May. Message boards lit up. Walk-ons usually don't cause that kind of commotion, but when you're the son of R.C. Buford, people take notice. Buford said "more people than you know" expressed disapproval of his signing on message boards. "He didn't even play last year yet gets to walk on at KU? Hmmmmmm?" one user wrote on Phognet. "No one is ever going to say that to my face but with message boards and whatnot, people bring it up to me all the time." Buford the doctor every week and kept hearing he wasn't ready yet. said. "I try not to look at it, but I know what's going on. It really doesn't keep me down. It's fuel to get better." "I don't go around boasting or anything. I try to live my life as normal as I can." The weeks passed by, and Buford's spleen was still too vulnerable. He missed the entire season. "I just tried to not let it get me down too much." Buford said. "I am a carefree person. I try not to let it get me down really. I had a good time. I don't have any regrets or anything about how the year ended up. It's just something that happens; you have to live with it. It worked out for me in the end." Buford, a San Antonio, Texas native, had to deal with more than just the usual scrutiny his senior season. A doctor diagnosed him with mononucleosis during the first week of basketball practice. He went back to It worked out because Buford still had the opportunity to decide between walk-on offers from Texas, Virginia and Kansas. He picked the Jayhawks because of the tradition and to get away from his home state of Texas. When he arrived in Lawrence this summer, he was ready to start a new life and broaden his perspective. But his game wasn't ready. The time off from mono made him run a step slower and shoot a bit awkwardly. Buford said he "couldn't throw the ball into the ocean from the beach."

In 2005 Christian Moody (2002-2006) went up for a dunk against Kentucky his junior year and landed as "the best walk-on in the history of college basketball!" At least, that's what Billy Packer said. Packer may have forgotten a few names (hello, Jeff Hornacek), but this is probably the most recognition any walk-on has ever received. 2. McGath the other players had bets that C.B. McGrath (1994-1998) would cry on his Senior Day in 1998, McGrath assured them he wouldn't. Then, he mentioned his coach, Roy Williams. "I want to thank Coach Williams." He started choking up and covering his face. "Just for giving me a chance." — Type "C.B. McGrath" on YouTube to see it. 3. Anytime T.J. Whatley (1992-1996) entered a game.

Walk-ons rarely play in NCAA Tournament games, much less score. That's why Brett Ballard (2000-2002) makes this list. He scored eight points in 18 minutes in the Jayhawks' 2001 first round victory against Cal State Northridge. Ballard followed it up with 14 minutes against Syracuse in the next round. 14 1 2 } 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 24,2007 MLB world series WEDNESDAY, OCT. 24 Colorado at Boston, 8:35 p.m. THURSDAY, OCT. 25 Colorado at Boston, 8:29 p.m. SATURDAY, OCT. 27 Boston at Colorado, TBA There can be only one!

RECRUITING UPDATE Kansas football's winning ways may have earned the team more than appearances on national television — recruits are paying attention. Dodge City High quarterback Kale Pick has given a verbal commitment to play at Kansas next season, Dodge City High head coach Justin Burke said. Pick originally committed to play at Arkansas earlier this year but changed his mind and agreed to come to Kansas earlier this week. Pick, a 6-foot-1, 198-pound high school player, is rated as a three-star recruit by the Web site rivals.com. Pick is listed as the sixth-best player in Kansas and the 11th-best dual-threat quarterback in the nation by rivals.com. Kansas Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said Tuesday that Kansas and ESPN are on good terms despite some miscommunication between Mangino and sideline reporter Jack Arute last week. ESPN planned on interviewing Mangino as he left the field at halftime, but the network changed its plans without notifying Kansas. When Arute did not meet Mangino as the teams returned for the second-half, it appeared that Kansas had declined the interview, but that was not the case. The miscommunication was an accident and nothing more, and Mangino had since spoken to ESPN and Arute to make sure everything was fine, Marchiony said.

Here are the players who played at the top of their game on Sunday, and those who fell short of expectations. PEAK PERFORMERS JOHN KINGMAN B KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSWAN.COM QB Tom Brady, New England — Brady should be able to break the single-season passing touchdown record easily. He threw five touchdowns against Dallas and six touchdowns this past Sunday against Miami. Against Miami he also completed 21 of 25 passes for 354 yards passing. Brady already has 27 touchdown passes on the season, and if he keeps performing at this level New England is a lock to win the Super Bowl. RB Kenny Watson, Cincinnati — The Bengals had a big, bruising running back in Rudi Johnson, but the explosiveness of Watson has been too much to ignore. Johnson has struggled with injuries this season, which has lead to more carries for Watson. Watson had 31 carries for 130 rushing yards and three touchdowns against the Jets on Sunday. Obviously if Johnson continues to be hurt, the Bengals will have no problem filling the void. WR Laveranues Coles, NY Jets — Wes Welker had another big game for the Patriots, but Coles had a big game in a hard-fought loss for the Jets. Coles had his biggest game of the season so far on Sunday with eight catches for 133 yards and two touchdowns. Teammate Jerricho Cotchery has been outshining Coles so far this season, but Coles stepped into the spotlight on Sunday. O'NEAL 24 22 87 ASSOCIATED PRESS Laveranues Coles of the New York Jets has been a bright spot in the team's miserable 1-6 start. Coles caught eight passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. TE Jason Witten, Dallas — No tight end really performed all that well on Sunday. Witten put up the biggest numbers and had ten catches for 86 yards in the Cowboys' victory against Minnesota. Indianapolis Defense — It is safe to say that Indianapolis probably remembers the game last season where Jacksonville ran for 345 yards on their defense. The Colts gave up only 117 total rushing yards and 226 yards of total offense in their Monday night victory. Jaguar quarterback David Garrard was injured early in the game and his backup, Quinn Gray, threw two interceptions. Indianapolis proved it can play defense against a solid Jacksonville team. K Rob Bironas, Tennessee — Bironas set a league record on Sunday making eight field goals in one game. Bironas easily ran away with the stats for best kicker this past weekend. Bironas made all eight field goals he attempted and both extra points. BOTTOM OF THE BARREL QB Tarvaris Jackson, Minnesota — The fact that Minnesota is a one-dimensional team shows more week-by-week. Adrian Peterson is becoming a star fast, but quarterback Jackson is not doing much to help the offense. In Sunday's loss to Dallas, Jackson completed six of 19 passes for only 72 passing yards. Minnesota is obviously a running team, but Jackson will need to be more efficient for the Vikings to have success. Remember when LaMont Jordan was a fantasy stud a couple of years ago? Well, this weekend he looked like he should revert to backing up Curtis Martin. Jordan had 11 carriers for only 29 yards. The Raiders are a defensive team, but Jordan has been solid so far this season and will need to help carry the load on offense. RB LaMont Jordan, Oakland 2 WR Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis — The Colts do not suffer from a lack of star receivers, that is for sure. Peyton Manning has trouble distributing the ball to all of his receivers. Reggie Wayne had a big night Monday, so obviously Harrison had some lower numbers. Harrison had only three catches for 16 receiving yards. Harrison will obviously get the ball in the Colts' offense; he just had an off night on Monday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Tennessee's kicker Rob Bironas made an NFL record sight field goals on Sunday, the final coming for the win as time expired against the Houston Texans in a thriller. fantasy football BEST Tom Brady 21/25 354 passing yards 6 touchdown passes Kenny Watson 31 carries 130 rushing yards 3 touchdowns Laveranues Coles 8 receptions 133 receiving yards 2 touchdowns WORST Tarvaris Jackson 6/19 72 passing yards LaMont Jordan 11 carries 29 rushing yards Marvin Harrison 3 receptions 16 receiving yards TE Chris Cooley, Washington — Cooley had a big game for the Redskins in a tough loss to the Packers last weekend. Sunday against the Cardinals was a different story. Cooley had one catch for only three yards. Cooley has been one of the surprises at tight end in the NFL and will be an integral part of the Redskins' consistent passing offense. Pittsburgh Defense — The Steelers have a reputation for playing tough defense. When they won four Super Bowls in the 1970s the nickname for the defense was the "Steel Curtain." On Sunday night they looked like a paper curtain. A struggling Broncos offense was able to put up 324 yards of total offense and 31 points against the Steelers. The weakness of the AFC North could help the Steelers to an AFC North division title if they can get the offense and defense balanced. K Neil Rackers, Arizona K Neil Rackers, Arizona — Rackers has one of the strongest legs in the NFL. On Sunday, he let down the Cardinals in a big way though. In a close game with the Redskins, Rackers missed his only field goal attempt and one of two extra points that could have earned a Cardinals victory. Rackers is one of the best kickers in the NFL and will just need to put this game behind him. Edited by Rachael Gray Your Idea Could Start a Movement. And You Could Win $75,000.

THE EXISTING COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT AT HOLCOMB RANKS #11 IN THE NATION FOR MERCURY EMISSIONS. IMAGINE WHAT A PLANT FIVE TIMES ITS CURRENT SIZE WOULD DO TO PUBLIC HEALTH. HOLDING THE LINE ON COAL PLANTS KANSAS STANDS UP AGAINST COAL POLLUTION SPARE THE AIR, PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH PETER R. Steve Simpson, MD Associate Professor of Pulmonology University of Kansas Medical Center The additional 1400-megawatt, coal-fired units proposed for Holcomb would emit ten million more tons of carbon dioxide annually and take a serious additional toll on public health. The irony is, Kansans don't need that much extra electricity. Almost all (85%) of the power generated would be sold out of state. We'd just keep 100% of the pollution. The perception has been that "coal is cheaper" for generating electricity. But Kansas is realizing that fuel cost is a fraction of the expense they will bear if this $3.5 billion expansion were built. Coal plant construction overruns and costly future carbon taxes have led to the rejection or withdrawal of 22 proposed coal power plants in 16 states since last year. Kansas should be the 17th state. Of course, "cheaper" also doesn't cover the harm coal emissions do to public health and consequent medical costs - and that harm begins before birth, given the effect of pollution on pregnant women as well as children, the elderly and many adults. Coal pollutants that affect health and life expectancy (and require costly medical care) include carbon dioxide, mercury and hazardous fine particles. Our state's medical community is joining forces with other Kansans who are committed to rejection of the proposed Holcomb power plant. We can't afford the high price of pumping more coal pollution into Kansas skies.The time to stand up is now. Diseases: Children exposed to coal plant emissions are at higher risk for a host of respiratory problems, including allergies, asthma and other respiratory diseases - even affecting lung development. Emissions also cause heart disease, stroke, cancer, early deaths and lifetimes of compromised health for thousands of Kansans. This is no bargain.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24. 2007 O SPORTS 5B FOOTBALL Kicker consistent cog of team BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com 39 Senior kickster Scott Webb boosts the ball to the other side of the field in kansas 19-14 victory (almost) Saturday Weekly 48-44 yard field goal opened for the打 jury in the game. Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN Early in the second quarter of last Saturday's game, Kansas took a 3-0 lead on a 48-yard field goal by Scott Webb. Though the points would go down in the record book as three of many scored by the Jayhawks this season, the kick was phenomenal because of its context. Senior holder Kyle Tucker somehow plucked the errant snap from the air several feet above its ideal position, rushed the ball to the ground and spun it into the correct position. All the while, Webb waited, and waited and waited. The senior kicker shuffled his feet for what seemed like an eternity while Tucker aligned the football and the Colorado rush bore down on the backfield. At the last possible moment, Webbs's foot found the ball. From there, everything worked perfectly. The ball sailed through the uprights as routine as could be, and three points appeared on the scoreboard. In the press box high above Folsom Field, onlookers craned their necks to catch a glimpse of the television replay, asking themselves, "Did he really do that from 48 yards out?" It may have alarmed the sportswriters, but it didn't catch Webb off guard. mark on extra point attempts. The kicker has scored 71 points this season - equal to the number Kamas' opponents have scored combined in 2007. "Not really." Webb provided consistency in his first two seasons as Kansai main kicker, making more than 70 percent of his field goal attempts in 2005 and 2006. But his performance has skrocketed this season, something Webb said, when asked whether his range on the stutter-step kick surprised him. "I can hit from 60 and in." "Since I've been at KU I've gotten a lot stronger. Our strength and conditioning coaches have done a great job, especially this past summer." Webb has made 11 of his 12 field goal attempts this season, 16 of his last 17 dating back to last season and eight consecutive field goals, not to mention his stellar 38-for-38 SCOTT WEBB Senior Kicker he said could be traced to his work in the weight room. past summer. " "Since I've been at KU Ive gotena lot stronger," Webb said. "Our coaches and strength and conditioning staff have just done a great job, especially this Thanks to a newNCAA rule that moved kickoffs back five yards to the 30-yard line, leg strength has been placed at a premium for kickers. Webb did not struggle to kick the ball into the end zone on kickoffs before this season, and his production in that area has not wavered. webb's stats 11 of 12 field goals made 38 of 38 on extra point attempts 71 points total Kansas opponents have started 40 of their 49 drives inside their own 20-yard line in part due to Webb's ability to plant the ball in the end zone. If Webb continues kicking at his current pace, some school records could fall in the coming weeks. The Tulsa, Okla, native sits in third place in career field goals made and second place in career field goal percentage. Webb needs 52 points to eclipse Dan Eichloff as Kansas' all-time leading scorer. As nice as the numbers look, praise from his coach could be the most telling testament to Webb's success — and Kansas coach Mark Mangino has had plenty of praise for the kicker. "Scott Webb is kicking the ball probably as well as anybody in the country," Mangino said. — Edited by Luke Morris Jayhawks break road curse FOOTBALL BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com The smiles gleaming from Kansas fans's faces in Boulder, Colo., after a 19-14 victory against Colorado showed their excitement. But there was also an element of surprise. After all, it was 12 years ago when the Jayhawks last won two consecutive road games. And last season, fans became accustomed to collapses from the team on the road. So what exactly has changed in 2007? "The team has a different mentality from where they were at a year ago, it's got a tough mental edge to it. we've got some hard-nosed kids," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "You know we've got some talented kids but the heart and soul of this team are But when Kansas found itself trailing Colorado in the third quarter last weekend, it remained calm and collected. It took less than a minute and a half and five plays for Reasing, sophomore running back Jake Sharp and senior wide receiver Marcus Henry to star in a scoring drive that put the Jayhawks back on top. at Baylor and committed five turnovers in a double-overtime loss at Toledo. "Our offense, I think when the pressure gets put on us, we really respond well and that's an attribute to all the guys working hard and "We've still got a lot of football to play here. But I'm proud of how our kids played in a hostile environment." Coming into this season, the Achilles' heal of the Mangino-era Jayhawks was their play on the road. Mangino had posted a paltry 2-18 Big 12 conference road record in his first five seasons. But with victories already in Manhattan and Boulder this season, Kansas has rid itself of the curse that haunted it in prior seasons. While Mangino credits a renewed focus from his players, the players think it's the other way around. MARK MANGINO Coach "Coach keeps us focused," junior cornerback Aqib Talib said. "Coach makes sure he has a speech for us every week to keep us down to earth." Perhaps Mangino's speeches weren't as poignant last season. The Jayhawks' failures on the road were like an avalanche: once it started, there was no stopping it. They surrendered an 18-point halftime lead executing our plays." Reesing said. "When these situations come, we have no doubt we can take the ball right down and score." Mangino said having Reesing on the field also helps the team play better on the road. In the past couple of seasons, Mangino's team have been ravaged by quarterback injuries and inconsistent play. Reeing's calming road record 2002: 0-4 2003: 0-4 2004: 1-3 2005: 0-4 2006: 1-3 2007: 2-0 presence in the huddle gives the Kansas offense much-needed continuity, according to Mangino. Mangino doesn't feel ready to celebrate the road success of his undefeated team yet. But he can't help but show a little relief. "We've still got a lot of football to play here," Mangino said. "But I'm proud of how our kids played in a hostile environment." Whether it's the mentality on the players, the motivation from Mangino's speeches or the comfort of a solid quarterback, Kansas has played significantly better on the road this season. The Jayhawks need all of those positives to come together Saturday when they visit Texas A&M at Kyle Field, a venue generally considered to be one of the toughest places to play in the country.

She is in third place in the Big 12 conference with 80 saves, and tied for seventh in shutouts. "Colleen has really Quinn stepped up to the challenge since we started conference play and been very consistent," head coach Mark Francis said.

"Emily has been a great leader for us, not only this year but throughout her career," Kansas head coach Mark Francis said. "She has a tremendous work ethic and always looks out for the best interest of her teammates. She's been a great role model for a lot of the younger players on the team." MLB New scoreboard leads to increase in ticket prices COMMUNITY RECOGNITION KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A big new ballgame is not the only thing going up at Kauffman Stadium. So is the price of tickets. The Royals announced Tuesday that the average price for single-game purchases will increase next year by almost 15 percent, going to $23.76 per ticket from $20.67. That does not include the so-called "premium games" such as those with the St. Louis Cardinals. Prices for season-ticket holders will go to $16.62 from $14.46 per game. The Royals will still rank 27th among the 30 major league clubs in average ticket price based on 2007 pricing, the club said. The average price per season ticket in the majors this past season was $22.69, the Royals said. Kevin Uhlich, the Royals' vice president for business operations, said a survey of 10 small- and medium-market teams found that the Royals' price for premium seats was about $9 below the average. "We need to try to play a little bit of catch-up. We're never excited to raise prices. But over the past five years, we've raised them very little," Uhlich said. "We have an obligation to operate like a major league team. We can't just sit here and take from revenue-sharing. We need to make moves like this to keep ourselves competitive." Uhlich said the increases were made only after careful consideration. "Obviously we want to keep our prices reasonable for our fans, and I feel that despite the increase in ticket cost, Royals baseball is still one of the best bargains in professional sports," Uhlich said. Associated Press 'Hawks to face Aggies for second time VOLLEYBALL volleyball notes GETTING DEFENSIVE Freshman Melissa Manda is. ON DUE on pau to put her name in the Kansas record books this season. Manda Melissa Manda averages 3.62 digs per game as a libero. That would be good enough for the sixth best single-season digs per game in Kansas history. SPEAKING OF RECORDS Sophomore setter Katie Martinich has passed former player Tiffany Sennett to move in to seventh all-time in assists at Kansas with 1401. Martinich has 208 assists this season. After Kansas returns home from its two-game road trip, the team will play host to Missouri at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center at 7 p.m. on Saturday. BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Rustin Dodd UP NEXT rdodd@kansan.com KANSAS 7 Jon Goering/KANSAN Coach Ray Bechard would prefer not to have a repeat of his team's last game against Texas & M. Following a home loss to Nebraska and a road loss to Iowa State, the Jayhawks were 9-7 and 2-4 in the Big 12 when they lined up against the Aggies on Oct. 6. But for Kansas a night to forget ensued as Texas A&M consistently gashed through an exposed Jayhawk defense en route to a 3-0 (30-26, 30-25, 30-19) sweep. Texas A&M had four players with double-digit kills — led by sophomore Mary Batis' 15 — as it finished with 59 kills to Kansas' 45. Senior Emily Brown sets the team for teammate to spike in Kansas' loss to Nebraska Saturday. The Jahways will play Texas & A&M tonight in College Station, Tex. Kansas gets a chance to average that loss tonight. The Jayhawks travel to College Station, Texas to play the Aggies at 6:30 p.m. "We just have to be better defensively," Bechard said. "We didn't do anything last time to slow them down." Kansas has struggled since the loss to Texas A&M. After a bounce-back victory against Colorado on Oct. 10, Kansas lost three straight matches to No. 7 Texas, Baylor, and No. 1 Nebraska. Now sitting at 10-11 and 3-8 in the Big 12, Kansas is trying to scratch out some victories and avoid a repeat of its late season slide last year. Last season, Kansas beat Baylor at home on Oct. 14, 2006 to climb to 3-7 in the Big 12, but then dropped its final 10 conference matches of the season. Meanwhile Texas A&M has won three out of four matches after its victory against Kansas, and improved to 16-6 and 5-6 in the Big 12. Offensive struggles have plagued the Jayhawks all season long. Kansas is last in the Big 12 with a 167 hitting percentage and second-to-last in kills with 13.67 kills per game. Bechard said that Kansas had to improve its hitting efficiency against Texas A&M, and turn it into a grind- it-out type of game with long points. Senior setter/right side hitter said a combination of things could be blamed for Kansas' hitting woes. “it's just a combination of us making smarter decisions when were hitting, and to see where the block is and hit where they're not,” Brown said. Edited by Luke Morris 》 BIG 12 FOOTBALL 'Pig' plays major role in Tiger defense ASSOCIATED PRESS one with the odd nickname who would help revitalize the Tigers' defense. COLUMBIA, Mo. — When Missouri assistant coach Craig Kulgowski was in California two years ago recruiting junior college players, little did he know he'd find Cornelius "Pig" Brown saved an opening-game win against Illinois with an interception at the goal line. In Saturday's 41-10 win over then-No. 22 Texas Tech, Brown had 14 tackles, including 4 1/2 for a loss, along with an interception and two pass breakups. He was named Big 12 defensive player of the week. Kuligowski found him in 2005. "We were talking to all these coaches out there, Who is your best plaver?" Kukigowski recalled. Reedley coach Michael White pointed to Brown, who played cornerback, safety and returned punts. Beyond that, Brown was considered among the team's smartest players. In two years at junior college, Brown — nicknamed "Pig" by his mother — was named to all-state and all-conference teams. He led Reedley to a No.1 ranking for much of the 2005 season.

Take freshman Connor Teahan. He was a two-time Gatorade player of the year in Missouri — ti last player before Teahan to win the award was north Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough. Teahan had numerous scholarship offers from Division I schools, but chose to pay his own way at Kansas. Now that's a Jayhawk. So take a moment, think of your all-time favorite Kansas walk-on, and raise a glass to your favorite wet-weaver at the end of the bench. Here's to you, Terry Nooner. WITHERSPOON (CONTINUED FROM 1B) — Edited by Amella Freidline not having a great practice and tell you that everything's OK." Sports columnist Rustin Dodd can be reached at rdodd@kansan. com Witherspoon has no wild dreams of averaging 20 points per game this season or being named a first team All-American. He's fine with wearing the jersey on game nights, practicing against players who could be in the NBA someday and of course, running through the tunnel onto James Naismith Court. "If I could wish one thing for every KU student," he said, "it would be to run out of that tunnel one time because it just gives you chills." Edited by Ashlee Kieler BUFORD (CONTINUED FROM 1B) tnhroughout his career. He'll tell you he's not very athletic and doesn't have the most talent. But he plays smart, and he's ready. Buford's ready to work hard, contribute when the team needs him and make a name for himself away from his dad. "I probably wouldn't be able to do this without my dad, but I think I fit in well," he said. "I feel like I can play with these guys, and I think it's starting to show how I'm getting more comfortable and playing better." —Edited by Rachel Gray Defensive end credited with turnaround >> NFL BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — He ran with the bulls in Pamplona and went after wild boar with a knife. List the most dangerous things Jared Allen's done in 2007, and crashing into 300-pound tackles and guards ranks no higher than third. "Life's too short to put anything on hold," Kansas City's thrill-seeking defensive end says with a big grin. "I go out and enjoy life." For opposing quarterbacks, he's making life miserable. His eight sacks are tied for the league lead and seem to signal oncoming headlights that in his fourth season, the 6-foot-6, 275-pounder is ready to take his place among the NFLs elite defensive linemen. Impressively, Allen's eight sacks for 61 yards in losses came in only five games. The New York Giants' Osi Umenyiora also has eight, but he has played seven games. Even more impressively, Allen, a fun-loving party animal since his college days, is sober. He hasn't had a drop, close friends say, since a second drunken-driving conviction 13 months ago. "He cold-turkeyed it" said Chiefs fullback Boomer Grigsby, Allen's close friend. "He knows he has a chance to be the best defensive end in football. Maybe he already is. All he needs to do is take care of himself." Allen has forced two fumbles and utilized his long wingspan to knock down four passes while energizing a drastically improved defense that is, without question, the major reason the Chiefs (4-3) go into their week as surprise leaders in the AFC West. As a penalty for his DUI convictions, Allen restlessly sat out the first two games this season under suspension. Then, like a taut spring finally given permission to uncoil, he came back and recorded eight tackles, two sacks, two passes deflected, three quarterback hurries and a forced fumble in a 13-10 victory over Minnesota that sparked a season-saving turnaround. "Jared is probably one of the most underrated defensive ends in the league," Cincinnati quarterback Carson Parmal said. 》 BIG 12 A Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen has been sober since his last run-in with the law 13 months ago.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas State football player practices with team, awaits court hearing ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN, Kan. — With a November court date looming, Kansas State tight end Rushaad Norwood continued to practice with the team, impressing teammates who believe he has NFL talent. But whether the senior will play this season depends on what happens Nov. 9 when he goes to court for charges of domestic battery, criminal damage to property, criminal trespassing and obstruction of the legal process. In August, police said Norwood pounded on the apartment door of a woman he knew and when she ignored him, he broke a sliding glass door with a chair, entered the apartment and pushed her onto the bed. The woman, who wasn't injured, called police and Norwood fled but was apprehended. warned after the away from the woman. A few hours later, police were called again to the apartment, where they found Norwood hiding under a bed. He was charged with criminal trespassing because he had been If he is found guilty, he could be facing up to a maximum of one year in jail. Norwood's attorney Barry Clark, told The Kansas City Star on Monday that he anticipates the trial will conclude "He's made a couple catches at practice where I'm like'Man, he's got what it takes to go to the next level." MICHAEL POOSCHKE Kansas State tight end has pleaded not guilty, finished second on the team with 36 receptions last year and has continued to show his skills without suiting up. "He's made a couple catches at practice where I'm like, 'Man, he's got what it takes to go to the next level?" Kansas State tight end Michael Pooschke said. Norwood has practiced and coach Ron Prince has said nothing will be settled with Norwood's playing status until the case concluded. Prince won't make any promises as to when Norwood would play again — if ever. But if his situation has a favorable ending, it seems he could return. "From a physical standpoint, yeah, I think he'd be in shape and could be prepared to play," Prince said. "He's been working toward that." We'll let all the legal people deal with all these issues and see where they go, but he's been working to be able to be in position to play, and so we'll see if that's a possibility." Norwood's attitude has scored points with quarterback Josh Freeman. "It shows us as a team we mean a lot to him, and he still wants to be part of our team," Freeman said. "He's out there working. He knows once he gets his off-the-field stuff situated, he'll be right back in the mix." FARMERS WEAR JEANS NOT LAB COATS. How our meat is raised, naturally,makes all the difference.

Chipotle MEXICAN GRILL - SERVING ANTIBIOTIC- & HORMONE-FREE MEATS IN KANSAS - 6TH & MONTEREY WAY THE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2007 SPORTS 9B MLB Monster doesn't scare Colorado B ASSOCIATED PRESS BY HOWARD ULMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS Boston Red Sox's Curt Schilling, back, jokes around with Dustin Pedroia during practice Tuesday at Fenway Park in Boston. The Boston Red Sox host the Colorado Rockies in Game 1 of the baseball World Series tonight. BOSTON — The Green Monster in left field. The Pesky Pole in right. Screaming fans all over the place. The aura of Fenway Park can intimidate visitors. Not the Colorado Rockies. They've seen and heard it all before and done quite well. In a three-game series in mid-June, they came to the historic ballpark with a losing record and beat the first-place Boston Red Sox twice. In the finale, Jeff Francis had one of his best starts of the year, Josh Beckett had one of his worst and the Rockies won 7-1. "It was loud. It was energetic," Francis said of his last visit. "Those fans are into the game at all points. There is no limit. You have to get all 27 outs before you can relax." On Wednesday night, Francis and Beckett will meet at Fenway again in Game 1 of the World Series. Beckett was 9-10 when he faced Francis. He lasted just five innings, giving up six runs, 10 hits and one walk with a season-low one strike-out. He allowed two homers, including a grand slam by Garrett Atkins in the third inning over the 37-foot high Green Monster in left field. "It was a fun run," Beckett said after the game of his unbeaten streak. Boston won the opener of that series 2-1 when Tim Wakefield allowed one run in eight innings and Jonathan Papelbon struck out two and picked up the save. The next day, Colorado tagged Curt Schilling for six runs in five innings in a 12-2 victory. The Rockies certainly are. "They took it to us pretty good, I remember that." Boston's Dustin Pedroia said Monday. "They came in here and just beat on us. They swung the bats good. They pitched well. So we're going to have to make some adjustments. But I think we're two totally different teams since then." Just 33-33 after that series, they finished the regular season at 90-73 with a win over San Diego in a one-game playoff. Then they swept Philadelphia and Arizona in the first two postseason rounds, giving them 21 wins in their last 22 games. The Red Sox also have changed. "They had an incredible run to this point," Schilling said. "They're going to play us tough." Rookie Jacoby Ellsburg replaced slumping Coco Crisp in center field for the last two games of the seven-game AL championship series against the Cleveland Indians and could start again Wednesday, although he'd be hitting lefty against left-hander Francis. The Red Sox also are on an offensive tear. In winning the last three games against Cleveland after falling behind 3-1, they hit .381 (40-for-105) with two homers and outscored the Indians 30-5. "The way we turned it on in the series against Cleveland, I couldn't be proud of them," Boston hitting coach Dave Maadan said. "They hit better at that park than they do anywhere else," Francis said. "We have our work cut out for us, but we are up for the challenge." The Red Sox hit .279 this season, including .29 at Fenway. They'll be playing on two days rest, which should help them keep their batting rhythm. The Rockies will finally play after eight days without a game. "They'll be ready," Pedroia said. "They've waited their whole lives to be in this situation so I don't think nine days of rest is going to affect their play at all." Colorado manager Clint Hurdle understood the concern that his hitters might lose their edge, but the city of Denver had time to enjoy winning theNL pennant for the first time in the team's 15-year history. "All the stories about the down time were appropriate. What will it do to the Rockies?" he said. "But to watch the city — not to have us run right into the World Series — has been really cool." The weather in Boston for the first two games is supposed to be mild, with mostly clear skies and temperatures in the 50s. There's no snow in the forecast for the weekend games in Denver. Meteorologist Robert Glancy of the National Weather Service said Monday that Games 3 and 4 should be played in around 45-degree weather. The Red Sox have an edge in experience; Beckett was the MVP of the 2003 World Series and the 2007 ALCS and Manny Ramirez won the award in the 2004 World Series. The Red Sox still have seven players who were on the roster that ended the franchise's 86-year championship drought. They also have been resilient, coming back from a 3-0 deficit in the 2004 ALCS and the 3-1 deficit this year. What's the secret? "You just try to relax and do what you did all year." Boston's J.D. drew said. "I knew I didn't want to walk off that field an LCS loser." He was a winner on Sunday when the Red Sox clinched the ALCS with an 11-2 win at Fenway Park. But so far this season, the Rockies are 2-1 there. "That, at least, gives us some familiarity with the ballpark and a little bit with their pitchers recently." NLCS MVP Matt Holliday said. "But that doesn't mean anything in the World Series."

BOSTON — Jeff Francis looked at Fenway Park and sounded like the wide-eyed World Series rookie he is. Welcome to the snow, Colorado Rockies, a black-and-purple clad club of Tulowitzki and Torreallabus unknown to many fans even now, after their amazing run of 21 wins in 22 games. Make your MEAL at the WHEEL Tri-Delta THE WAGON WHEEL LAWRENCE, KS MLB Rockies new to national eye Experience advantage goes to Red Sox in World Series A team that didn't even exist until 1993 navigated through the cracked corridors and cramped clubhouse of Fenway, then played catch in front of 37-foot-high Green Monster in left and Pesky's Pole in right. Infielder Clint Barmes plopped into a red seat in row CC to take it all in. Tri-Delta THE WAGON WHEEL LAWRENCE, KS Josh Beckett was set to start Wednesday night's opener for Boston, and Francis was slated to pitch for the Rockies. Much has been made of possible snow when the Series moves to Coors Field this weekend, but there was a 30 percent chance of rain for Game 1. With Colorado coming off a record eight-day layoff since sweeping Arizona in the NL championship series, there's been a lot of debate about rust vs. rest — and what better place to discuss rust than quirky old Fenway Park, which opened in 1912 and is filled with nearly a century of baseball sounds and smells. "We will not apologize for winning quickly," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said to a roomful of laughter. Last year, of course, the Tigers fumbled and flopped after a six-day layoff and lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in five games — with a Detroit pitcher making an error every night. Teams took notice — a day ahead of Wednesday's opener, Red Sox manager Terry Francona was at the cage running pitchers' fielding practice. In some ways, the Red Sox have become the Yankees, an October fixture attracting national attention. Manny and his do-rag, Big Papi and Dice-K are TV staples. The Rockies? They haven't been on a FOX Saturday broadcast since July 2004 and haven't appeared on an ESPN Sunday night telecast since June 2002. "We've been called favorites since Day 1, names over there, and we're just not." "We feel anonymous everywhere. They're household names over there, and we're not." Boston overcame a 1-3 deficit in the AL championship series to beat Cleveland. That was nothing compared to what the Red Sox did in 2004, when they became the first baseball team to bounce back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven postseason series, upending the Yankees. Then they swept the cardinals for their first World Series title in 86 years, setting off a year of celebrations throughout New England. Boston was 51-30 at home during the regular season and 5-1 during the playoffs, benefiting from its accumulated knowledge of Fenway's idiosyncrasies and ricochet patterns. and look at us," David Ortiz said, "here we are dancing and just taking it easy. We just have the edge, the attitude to become champions." Rockies names might not be known in most homes, but they are scrawled inside The Wall. Colorado came to Fenway in June, winning two of three and outscoring the Red Sox 20-5, and some Rockies players partook in the ritual of affixing their names inside baseball's most famous fence. "A lot of special things happen here," Francis said. "It's a special baseball place: the fans, the players, the team and the city" Now that the curse has lifted, there might be less pressure. That's not the Red Sox notion. "1918, I wasn't even thinking about coming to life. I never paid Since its last win on Oct. 15, Colorado had workouts and simulated games. That only went so far. attention to any of that," Ortiz said with a smile. GARRETT ATKINS Rockies Third Baseman Boston took over the AL East lead for good on April 18 and ended New York's run of nine straight division titles. The Rockies were fourth in the NL West at just 76-72 when their spurt began Sept.18. If not for two blown saves by San Diego's Trevor Hoffman, they wouldn't even have even won the wild card and made their first postseason appearance since 1995. "We feel anonymous everywhere," third baseman Garrett Atkins said. "They're household "The postseason, the World Series, you can't simulate that," right fielder Brad Hawpe said. "There's nothing like that." Chili FEED Tradition Keepers!

This Saturday, the Wizards will host HLA USA in the first leg of the home-and-home-playoff series, and the KC Cauldon will be in Arrowhead Stadium to stand, sing, beat on drums and wave flags to support the team. It began faintly as a distant pulse from outside Arrowhead Stadium. The driving rhythm grew more distinct as the raucous column of singing fans led by pounding bass drums paraded through the concourse and down the aisle to the customary home between sections 102 and 103. Meet the Cauldron, the self-described home of the Kansas City Wizards' most fervent fans. As the rowdy supporters settled into their designated area, they hoisted blue and white flags and banners and began a series of chants in the hope of inspiring their Wizards against Eastern Conference rivals, the New York Red Bulls. The noise didn't stop until after the final seconds of stoppage time ticked off in a 3-2 win as the Cauldron's members exposed the 13,875 in attendance to a limited glimpse of the stadium atmosphere that fans in countries such as Argentina took for granted. I am a native of Texas. I have a bachelor's degree in computer science from University of Texas at Austin and a master's degree in computer science from University of Oklahoma. When Major League Soccer's inaugural season began in 1996 Sam Pierron was an 18-year-old freshman living in Ellsworth Hall and majoring in political science. Though only marginally acquainted with international soccer, Pierron said the 1986 and 1990 World Cup broadcasts began his progression as a fan that eventually led to the creation of the Mystics, the Cauldron's predecessors. "Soccer was something I liked to watch in theory, but it was just never on," Pierron said. "The 1994 World Cup changed it a bit. That was my first chance to watch a lot. Right after that I was an exchange student for a year in Johannesburg, where there were games on television every week live from England, Italy and Portugal as well as the South African league." It's an atmosphere that wasn't created overnight. Without a few dedicated University of Kansas students it would never have been possible. Despite extensive contact with soccer during his time in Johannesburg, Pierron said the inspiration behind organizing the Mystics came from a trip to New Jersey BY ANDREW WIEBE KANSAN COLUMNIST AWIEBEEWIEBAN.COM in the summer of 1995 to see the United States men's national team play Colombia. Although the game itself was on the dull side, Pierron said the support the United States received piqued his interest. "There was a big group of fans standing and singing behind one of the goals like fans do in foreign countries," he said. "We went and joined them for the second half. As it turns out, that was the second game ever of Sam's Army." Through Sam's Army, the U.S. national team supporters' group. Pierron was turned on to the types of resources that could be used to organize a similar fan base with the recently created MLS club in Kansas City. By using the Internet to organize, Pierron brought together a group of students, educators and soccer aficionados interested in being a part of the foundation of the Mystics, the Wizards and MLS in general. What began as a voluntary offer to design the Wizards' Web site soon evolved into the creation of a diverse fan group with Pierron serving as president. Like the league itself, the group had a relatively unheralded start. During the first few years the Mystics experienced fluctuating attendance with highs of as many as 50 supporters but often as few as three devoted fans. Standing, singing and more than likely heckling the opponent's goalkeeper became habit as the group sought to create some excitement in the cavernous confines of Arrowhead Stadium, much to the chagrin of security. HEY BASKETBALL FANS! Your in for another great season and The Kansan is giving you your first look at this years team. THURSDAY OCT. 25TH (Get your copy of The Kansan and you'll get a Special Edition of the '07-'08 Men's Basketball Preview) THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN HEY BASKETBALL FANS! Pierron said that passion within the Mystics reminded him of another group of fans in nearby Lawrence For Pierron, his love for the game and his club has come full circle. Although he has the best job he could imagine, Pierron said he missed being able to be a fan first. The same man that led chants, beat bass drums and screamed himself hoarse for 12 years now makes occasional visits to the section he helped create while making sure game days run as they should. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN "For a lot of the early guys in the section from KU, the Wizards games were the closest thing to the student section at KU games outside of the Fieldhouse," Pierron said. "It sounds kind of silly because there were 50 of us doing it, but that was a very real feeling." Despite the Mystics' modest beginnings, the same commitment to passion and energy continues within the Cauldron today. Although the group has grown steadily during each year of its existence, this season has seen a huge spike in the number of fans supporting the Wizards in the welcoming confines of sections 102 and 103. Robert Houghton, Cauldron president, said he estimated the group drew an average of 50 to 75 fans per game in 2006. During the 2007 season the Cauldron has had an average of 350 fans. The huge jump in participation came as a surprise, but Houghton said efforts to integrate young fans and Hispanics have fueled the Cauldron's unprecedented growth. With the help of Pierron, now the teams customer relations manager, the support of ownership and the growing attention generated by increased media coverage of MLS, Houghton said he couldn't see any limits to the Cauldron's development in the coming years as the league continued its pattern of expansion. Mike Gaughan, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party, season ticket holder and former Mystics president, was part of the group from the University involved with the Mystics from the start. He said the emotion in the game lent itself to the kind of organization committed to bringing an air of enthusiasm to fans. It's an arrangement that can take its toll, but in the growth of the Mystics, and now the Cauldron, Pierron said he found satisfaction in knowing a fan base was there to take soccer in the U.S. to new heights. "Soccer is a passionate sport," Gaughan said. "The fans are passionate, the players are passionate, and when MLS started there was a niche for fans who wanted to express their passion for 90 minutes in, I guess you could say, the more traditional sense, with chants and songs." "The reality is that an 18-year-old soccer fan now basically doesn't remember a time before MLS," he said. "When we started all of this, we hoped that we were laying a foundation for the future. So to see that come to fruition is extraordinarily gratifying."

When the Student Rights' Committee met two weeks ago, it drafted legislation which would have effectively asked the administration to repeal the policy. That legislation failed in full Senate last week, and instead Senate created a task force to look into the issue and work with the administration. The Student Rights' lawsuits filed in September by the Recording Industry Association of America against KU students for illegally file sharing. The University is awaiting a subpoena from the RIAA, which will require the University to provide the names of the 14 students whose Internet protocol addresses were identified by the RIAA. "I think there are questions that we haven't even begun to answer.I think there is a level of incompetence and people just not doing their job." Committee elected two members who will serve on the task force along with the student body president and vice president, the chair of the student executive committee and two members of full Senate. The task force will also deal with the 14 IAN STAPLES Lawrence senior Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said that once the University received the subenas, they would follow the due process of the law. "We're going to protect their privacy," Cohen said. "We're not just going to hand over their information." Committee elected Mason Heilman, Lawrence sophomore and chair of the Student Rights Committee, and Lawrence senior Ian Staples. Heilman temporarily stepped down from chairman for his election to the task force. Heilman said that he had a unique perspective to bring to the issue because he was a residence hall senator and had observed the reaction of his constituents to the zero-tolerance policy. The Student Rights Committee elected "I think that the zero-tolerance policy has the right intentions, but may not be the best way to pursue the goals of preventing an illegal activity while also trying to protect the students," Heilman said. Staples said he would like to use the task force to look into a possible lack of communication among University administrators regarding the policy. "I think there are questions that we haven't even begun to answer." Stanley the country were watching the issue of illegal file sharing unfold in situations such as the current one at the University. Cohen said that the issue "The simple answer is don't download illegally and you won't have these problems.

According to kuhistory.com, Aaron Perry originally owned Oread Cemetery, and it remained privately owned until 1867, two years after the Oak Hill Cemetery opened. After the 1863 raid on Lawrence, approximately 70 of the 200 dead were buried in a mass, unmarked grave at Oread Cemetery. Later, the city moved all but six of the graves to Oak Hill, where a memorial had been built for them. Alfred and Sarah Peake, buried in 1882, were the last two people laid to rest in Oread Cemetery until 1968. Oread Cemetery was in essence forgotten until 1906, when army veterans placed a memorial in the cemetery. It fell back into obscurity until 1928, when the mayor of Lawrence tried to restore the cemetery. He renamed it Pioneer Cemetery. His attempt did not succeed, and once again the city of Lawrence forgot about its first cemetery. Plant growth swallowed the marker he placed there, and it remained hidden until 2006. Chancellor Franklin Murphy rediscovered Pioneer Cemetery in 1952 while walking with his daughters. Within a year, the KU Endowment Association purchased the land. The association reopened the cemetery in 1968. Three former chancellors have been buried in Pioneer Cemetery: Deane Malott, W. Clarke Wescoe, and Raymond Nichols, Elmer McCollum, who discovered vitamins A and D, is also buried there. KU faculty and staff who have worked at the university for more than 15 years are eligible to be buried there, as are members of the Alumni Association board of directors, trustees of the Endowment Association, and winners of the Distinguished Service Citation award.

E THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2007 NEWS CAMPUS 3A Book drive to benefit KC kids BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com As a child, Danielle Coffyn relished any book she could get her hands on. The thought of growing up without the joy of a good book prompted her to create a book drive this fall to benefit the Kansas City, Kan, public school district. "I grew up with an endless supply of books, Coffyn, Prairie Village, senior, said. "I've always been very fortunate. I want students whose parents may not be able to afford books to be able to delve into stories like I did." The book drive began in September and will continue until Nov. 15. The drive is sponsored by the KU International Children Assistance Network and the Honors Program Student Council. Coffyn, co-president of I CAN and the Honors Program Student Council, said there were hundreds of books sitting in her basement that could be redistributed and enjoyed by others. She e-mailed the Kansas City, Kan., public school district to see what she could do. "I said, 'What can we do, and what do you need?' Coffyn said. "They told me they needed books." Charles Perdue, director of the Kansas City Kansas Public Library, said the district was extremely pleased to be the recipient of the I CAN book drive. Perdue said the district's dollars were always stretched and the schools appreciated the donations. "We are an urban school district, and because of that we may have issues others may not have." Perdue said. The school district includes 20,000 students and is considered majority minority, with 45 percent black students, 33 percent Hispanic students, 18 percent white and 4 percent other. Perdue said the book donation was significant because the district superintendent had set a goal of 85 percent reading proficiency for Kansas City, Kan., public schools by 2010. Perdue said one way to meet that goal was to make more books available. He said he hoped an increased book supply would foster a reading environment for students and their families. Perdue said I CAN had been a delight to work with on the book drive. Students can drop off their used books at any of the residence halls, scholarship halls and participating greek houses. Coffyn said the group was looking for books in good condition that were suitable for elementary school children. She encouraged students to drop books off at Nunemaker Hall on Daisy Hill across from Templin. The group will be distributing flyers and bags throughout Lawrence neighborhoods on Sunday to encourage people to donate books. Mandy Shriswiise, Overland Park senior and I CAN co-president, said I CAN was formed last spring after she had spent time working in Tanzania. The group usually focused on assisting underprivileged children abroad. Shriswiise said the book drive showed how simple it was to mobilize local resources, and that it doesn't always take money to make things happen. So far the book drive has gathered about 2,000 books. Shrive said it was important for the organization to recognize the needs of local children as well as international children. "It's not only kids in the third world countries," Shrise said. "Sometimes it's the kids right next door." Students who want to volunteer to help with the drive can e-mail Coffyn at coffyn@ku.edu. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell Turkey reportedly attacks Kurdish rebels; Pentagon won't confirm 》WORLD BY VOLKAN SARISAKAL Associated Press CIZRE, Turkey — Turkish warplanes and helicopter gunships reportedly pounded Kurdish rebel positions along the Turkey-Iraq border Wednesday, broadening military operations against insurgents amid persistent fears Turkey will launch a major offensive inside Iraq. Turkish Cabinet members and military generals held a six-hour meeting in Ankara to discuss a possible operation in northern Iraq, but decided to recommend the government take economic measures first to force cooperation by Iraqis against Kurdish rebels. The state-run Anatolia news agency reported that Turkish warplanes and attack helicopters bombed mountain paths used by rebels to cross the porous border from Iraq and stage hit-and-run attacks against soldiers in southeastern Turkey. Residents in the Iraqi Kurdish village of Derishkit told an Associated Press reporter that two Turkish jet fighters struck a target on the banks of the Zey-Gowra River about four miles inside Iraq. They were unable to offer any more details about the apparent attack. An AP Television News cameraman also saw eight F-16s loaded with bombs and attack helicopters take off after nightfall from a base in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir. The cameraman also saw about a dozen transport helicopters fly along Mount Cudi near the border with Iraq and at least one warplane fly past Cizre, a town close to the border. The Anatolia news agency report said the warplanes and helicopters took off from Diyarbakir and "are reported to have bombed and destroyed bases of the terrorists." Pentagon officials declined to confirm reports of airstrikes. "I don't know of any Turkish air- strikes in that area today," Maj. Gen. Richard Sherlock, Joint Chiefs of Staff operational planning director, told a Defense Department press conference. The reported airstrikes come after days of Turkish shelling in the region. On Sunday, Turkish helicopter gunships penetrated Iraqi territory after kurdish military ambushed a Turkish military convoy near the border, killing 12 soldiers and leaving eight others missing. U. S.-made Cobra and Super Cobra attack helicopters also chased Kurdish rebels three miles into Iraqi territory on Sunday before returning to their bases in Turkey, a government official said Wednesday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Turkey, which has moved troops to the Iraq border, warned Iraq and Western allies on Tuesday that a large-scale incursion was imminent unless the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad takes action against the rebels. >> SCHOOL SPIRIT Out with'Muck Fizzou' students vote for the new BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com The University Daily Kansan and leaders from various student organizations are combining forces to present a T-shirt contest for students to create two shirts—an alternate for the "Muck Fizzzout" shirt and a new non-sport specific gameday shirt. The contest began Wednesday. Students can log onto Kansan.com/tshirt and nominate slogans for each. The submission process will last one week. Late next week, representatives from the Kansan and the student organizations will pick the top five for both, and the finalists will be announced during the Kansas-Nebraska homecoming football game at Memorial Stadium. Students will then vote on the five finalists for a week at Kansan. com to determine winners. Nate Stafford, Overland Park senior, and marketing and promotions manager for the Kansan, said the University wanted to present an alternative to "Muck Fizzou" that better represented the student body. "We aren't telling people to bring their Mizzou shirt and drop it in this vat of acid," Stafford said. "The success of this, 100 percent, lies in the student body." One motivation for the change came last year when ESPN announced that it would not show students wearing the "Muck Fizzou" shirts on television. "Next time Brandon Rush drives down the lane and throws down against Missouri, don't you want the camera to be able to show the student body?" Stafford said. "Don't you want them to show how crazy we are going? Or do you want to wear your Muck Fizzou shirt? I think it is unfair to those sitting around you." After the contest, the new shirts will be sold for $5 apiece. One dollar from each purchase will go to local charity or to a University-benefited function. The contest's winners will each get two front row tickets and a limo ride with their guest to the KU-MU game at Arrowhead Stadium, as well as $100 cash, a tailgate package and other prizes. There will also be prizes for each top-five idea contributors. Ian Lang, Wichita senior and president of the Interfraternity Council, and Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, are among the student leaders on the T-shirt committee. Lang said 1,000 T-shirts with the new slogans would be given away at various KU athletic events. The shirts, Lang said, will be ready at least one week before the Nov. 24 game between Kansas and Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium. "The Muck Fizzou shirt is five years old," Lang said. "It's old. Let's get something new. We have a creative student body. I think as a consensus we decided we want to display our pride in something that truly portrays the University we attend. It's about sending the right message." Lang called the shirt's selling price "college affordable" and said student leaders wanted to see a percentage of the price go back to University-related functions. Stafford said the group's intent for a replacement to the "Muck Fizzou" shirt is something "clever but not vulgar." "Every great rivalry needs a T-shirt, I think," Stafford said. He used Oklahoma's slogan against Texas as an example: "Bevo: It's what's for dinner." —Edited by Chris Beattie THIS WEEK ON CAMPUS October 25,2007 Hey, you!

Mangiare Theatre Company, which is based out of Ireland, is playing host to a three-day workshop. It will end on Friday in Murphy Hall with a special performance from the two actors of Mangiare, including University theater alumnus Jaime Carswell. Katherine Pryor, development manager of theater and film, said bringing Mangiare Theatre Company to the University involved getting funding from the Kansas Arts Commission and Student Union Activities. She said that she talked with Carswell about that the possibility of visiting, and he was able to secure more funding from the Arts Council of Ireland. She said she thought the workshop and performance would be beneficial to theater students. "They bring a fresh perspective to our students. And even though our faculty might be teaching them the exact same thing, or from at least a similar perspective, the students enjoy learning from a variety of professionals," Pryor said. "Also, bringing back alums provides an opportunity for the students to develop relationships and begin to network with professionals around the world." Carswell said the workshop would focus on the physical aspect of theater. "It's a little more abstract. It's offering a different way of looking at something and delivering theater," Carswell said. "It's a very specific kind of movement to this type of theater." Carswell, who was born in Ireland, moved to Lawrence when he was six years old and grew up in the town, graduating from the University in 1994. He said his experience at the University was great because of the great staff here while he attended. Carswell said while he tried out for films, commercials and soap operas, he always had a strong interest in off-beat theater. "I didn't really get a lot out of mainstream theater like others," Carswell said. "I didn't have any exposure to anything else but I was always fascinated with what was outside the mainstream." He said his studies at Jacques Lecoq School of Theatre in Paris also played a role in his career development. Carswell spent nearly 8/12 years in theater before creating Mangiare with two of his longtime collaborators in the business three years ago. "It was a very organic process of minds coming together to do something like it," Carswell said. "We had been working together and really had the same vision." After the workshop on Friday, Carswell and fellow actor Joanne Mitchell will perform "A Play on Two Chairs," at 7:30 p.m. in William Inge Memorial Theater in Murphy Hall. Tickets to the show cost $5 for students and $10 for the general public. Ben Meyers, Wichita sophomore, said he thought the show would be interesting and worth attending. "It's something different that can be educating to actors and entertaining to others at the same time," Mewers said. Carswell said the show would be unique for all those who attended and that it focused on physical theater. "We have a couple actors, two chairs — it's very physical," he said.

Rockhill started Studio 804 12 years ago. The program allows students to be involved in the design and construction of a home each year, one of which was named "Home of the Year" by Architecture Magazine. "804 isn't absolutely unique in architecture education, but it has become one of, if not the, best known design program in the country," John Gaunt, dean of architecture and urban planning, said.

"He's not going to do it for us," Lindsey Evans, Vellenezille, Ill., senior, said. "He always says we're the architect and we're the ones designing this project." Rockhill's students are currently exploring sites in Kansas City, Kan., to build their home this year. "The students are right in the middle of it, developing a real hands-on sense of what it takes to build a building and that's invaluable," Gaunt said. Jenny Kivett, Victoria graduate student, said that because she didn't have experience working in a firm, Studio 804 acted as an internship for her. being able to bring that into the classroom is important" "He's always pushed me to the limit, to do more than I ever thought I could do," Kivett said. "That's pretty rare in a professor." "If didn't have the experience with Rockhill and Associates, I don't think I would be doing what I'm doing." Rockhill said, "There's no [academic] subject for real world experience, so Along with Studio 804, Rockhill works for Rockhill and Associates, an architecture firm that promotes progressive design. Rockhill said his experience with the firm went hand-in-hand with his teaching. Rockhill, who has been at the University for 27 years, was awarded the J.L. Constant Distinguished Professor of Architecture award. He was nominated for his innovative architectural design and building practices and was honored at an all-school meeting. The University approved the professorship after going through a thorough review process. "It's nice to be recognized locally no matter what extent of recognition you've received elsewhere." Rockhill said. "What we do is highly visible, and therefore controversial, so it's nice to have some recognition of it as an achievement."

Meyer enjoys playing a variety of games, especially those with interesting storylines. He thinks it is important to keep up with the new games in the industry and enjoys renting games to test his interest in them. Although Meyer is aware of the increasing Guitar Hero trend, he has not been interested in the game until discovering recently that the game's new version will be Wii compatible for the first time. pre-sale numbers it can discuss its expectations for the game.

The new game will be avail- year," Best Buy spokesperson, Brian Lucas, said. Local stores are preparing for the release as well. Game Stop, previously known as EB Games, is also conducting a pressle for Guitar Hero III. "We've already sold about 50 games. We're expecting it to sell out quickly once we get our shipment in. The only way to ensure owning a game is to reserve a copy now," Nick Hodgkin, Assistant Manager, said. Guitar Hero isn't the only thing increasing Game Stop's sales. Game Stop is consistently selling out of their shipments of the Nintendo Wii. Hodgkin said Game Stop receives six to eight Wii's each week and it is likely to only have one left after the first day. He thinks these sales will increase once Guitar Hero III is released. "The Wii focuses on fun instead of graphics. Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 went for better graphics, but Nintendo went for playability and fun. People associate Guitar Hero with fun, those will go together," said Hodgkin. If past Guitar Hero sales are any indication, Best Buy's and Game Stops predictions will be correct. According to the NPD group, which tracks North American Video sales, Guitar Hero II sold 1.3 million in sales in 2006, making it the fifth best selling game in the US last year. MarketWatch.com said Guitar Hero accounted for about 30 percent of Activision's revenue in the recent quarter. These sales have increased Activations revenue more than 160 percent to $495.5 million from $188.1 million, according to MarketWatch analysis. Students at the University are adding to the sales of Guitar Hero. Matt Green, St. Louis. Ben Whitsitt, Westwood Hills, sophomore, was initially excited about Guitar Hero but now played the game regularly. Whitsitt said he usually sticks to sports video games but after seeing a friend play Guitar Hero he thought it looked awesome. "I bought the game on a whim and it turned out to be a great买! Everyone now comes over to play it. The instant gratification you get from playing a really hard, awesome guitar song by just pressing a few buttons is great. It's really cool to hear yourself." Whitst said. Green is looking forward to the release of Guitar Hero III and has been impressed with the diverse "I love the fact that my 50-year-old mom can play it and so can my little sister who's 12.

The Center of Sustainability hosted the event to focus on environmentally conscious operations developed by students and faculty. Director Jeff Severin said because the center developed from student initiative, it was important to get students involved with opportunities and research on campus and to highlight their work. Neil Steiner, Tulsa junior, and Dena Hart, Chicago junior, presented their contributions of environmentally friendly practices. the playground over the summer and presented it to Lawrence Parks and Recreation this fall. The design is being considered for use in west Lawrence's DeVictor Park that opens Friday. Steiner, an architectural engineering major, explained a Natural Playscape design, a playground made almost completely of natural products and, most importantly, stimulating to children. Steiner and two other students Christina Hoxie, graduate student, and Rolf Petermann St. Louis senior, designed Steiner said the playscape used native vegetation such as herbs, and fruit-bearing trees that appealed to all the senses and were edible. Steiner said it was both educational and safe for children "who are always eating things anyway." He said the plan also featured trails, structures made of bamboo and tree trunks, and recycled materials for the children to play on. Steiner said the design of a completely natural playground seemed limiting at first, but the benefits of natural playscapes were obvious. "It doesn't leave a negative aspect on the environment," Steiner said. "And it's much more intriguing for a child." Steiner said it was absolutely necessary to incorporate sustainable practices into our lives. "It must be a holistic approach," Steiner said. "It's difficult when we've spent 200 years going the opposite way." Hart said she became interested in sustainability at Social Action Project last spring after hearing environmental Journalist Simran Sethi speak. The project challenged students to create some kind of presentation to highlight an aspect of sustainability. Hart and two other students decided to make a documentary, "An Evening of Green". Hart showed the documentary at Campus Sustainability Day. The documentary focuses on people's awareness of sustainable practices. Hart said they shot much of the film on Massachusetts Street and asked people at random to define sustainability and global warming. Hart said she was shocked at some of the answers. Some of the interviewees got confused looks on their faces and were at a loss of how to define the terms. When asked what global warming was one student said, "Is it coming to Lawrence?" and another said, "Stuff that hurts the ozone." Hart said the film highlighted just how unaware people were of the situation and didn't realize that even the little things made a big dif.ference. "We're not very educated about this," Hart said. "People get so involved in their own lives. They don't realize the smallest things we are doing are what're hurting our environment." Adam MacDonald/KANSAI FELICITACIÓN DE LOS CEREALES DE LAS FONDERACIONES DE LA FAMILIA One scene of the documentary shows two girls brushing their teeth with a timer in the bottom of the scene to show how long people let water run. Hart said after that scene she always thought about the water when brushing her teeth. She said there were small ways students could work at sustainability in their lives. Hart said turning off lights and television, using washable water bottles and unplugging chargers not in use were little things she tried to do. Dena Hart, Chicago junior, and Jessica Levy, Dallas senior, receive an award on the behalf of their 11-member project from KU Provost Richard Lariviere Wednesday afternoon in the Kansas Union. The award was in recognition of the team's four-stage sustainability project. The day also featured presentations from KU Dining Services, the Environmental Stewardship Program, CRESIS, Chevron Energy Solutions and the chemical and petroleum engineering; department. Each group presented their research and work in sustainable practices. The Center for Sustainability opened last January after research and work by students, faculty and staff. A sustainability task force made up of students and faculty, which initiated in Fall 2004, helped establish the center. Severin said the goal of the Center for Sustainability is to educate and involve the campus in sustainable projects and policies. - Edited by Kaitlyn Syring INTERNSHIPS International organization provides work abroad opportunities for students BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com Ashlee Crowl has seen the world. She has been to England, France, Holland and Italy, just to name a few. But to Crowl, one destination stands out among the others: India. Crowl, Topeka senior, traveled through India and other countries in the Asian subcontinent last spring and summer while on an internship with the International Association of Students in Economics and Commerce, or AISEEC, (pronounced eye-sek). AIESEC, according to its Web site, is the world's largest student organization and has chapters at more than 800 universities, and the University of Kansas is one of them. AISEEC's mission is to promote international understanding and cooperation and it facilitates a work-abroad exchange program between its member countries. Vaishali Gala, Hays junior and vice president of student process for AIESEC, helps students plan their trips. She said about 40 students are involved in the organization this year. "We want people and students to go abroad and get an understanding of what the world is," she said. While in India, Crowl worked for a marketing company that promoted educational programs for students. She said she wanted to travel to India because each area of the country is unique. For example, in the southwest the culture has a strong Portuguese influence and the north has a predominant Chinese and Buddhist culture. "I'm just really interested in the culture and history of religion" she said. During her trip, she rode camels, slept under the stars in Pakistan, stayed in a Buddhist monastery and took a week-long introductory course in Buddhism and meditation. She also saw the Taj Mahal, where she was a subject of attention. Crowl said because she is a white woman with blonde hair - something many of the people there likely hadn't seen very often - they took pictures of her as well. "I was sort of surprised." she said. I was sort of stumped, she said. For fun, Crowl also went bungee jumping and canyon swinging in Nepal. She said that she dropped about 160 feet, and then swung on a rope in a canyon for about eight seconds. "I wasn't really scared," Crowl said. "I guess I was thinking, 'What am I doing right now?' 我 was crazy. Crowl said in the future she would like to return to the region, but right now she was concentrating on getting into law school. She said international law appealed to her. "There are a lot of people that need someone to stand up for them," Crowl said. Nate Barbarick, a 2006 graduate from Olathe, is living in Tampere, Finland. He said he decided to go to the country because he had always liked Nordic countries and thought it would be a good experience for him. "I love this country very much," he said. "The nature is beautiful and the people are mostly kind and friendly" For about six months, Barbarick worked at a university of applied sciences as a tutor, teaching staff and administrators English. He said he also wrote for a magazine. He planned to return next month. "Working abroad has been a fantastic experience, definitely," he said.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM THURSDAY,OCTOBER 25,2007 PAGE7A ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL Don't let rankings deter you from having a good time KU's fall from the list of party schools shouldn't mean that students can't cut loose on the weekends, at games JESSE BROWN Recently, the University of Kansas has been omitted from the Princ could be stressful enough that partying on the weekend and taking a load off is earned, only to refuel the thinking caps on Sunday. Obviously, there are exceptions such as having a major test that coming Monday, but hey, a few beers just might help you relax and relieve the stress that college creates. Committed from the Princeton Review's list of the top party schools. While I am proud to hear about the academic excellence of our school, I do not see why our partying habits should change. One week of school While there are the retorts of, "we don't care what people think about us," we should care because we are being judged by and compared to our peers, which in this country, most cases get settled by. The students at the University are a proud student body, and an example of their pride is displayed passionately at sporting events against our fellow peers at rival schools. I would like to imagine that a KU student would hold that passion in everything he or she does, whether it's sports, academics or partying. I know I want it to look like the University is a fun school to go to, where you could get a good education and plenty of good memories to take with you into adulthood. I'm not advocating for us to become raging alcoholies and desperate junkies, but I know I don't want to look like lame ducks who don't know how to have a good time. Nevertheless, the administration is gushing. We have become the good little robots that college likes to program when we will leave and become law-abiding citizens while we get handled daily, in the work week that is, by the Man. And since when is the administration and the student voice the same? Another recent event is the elicited complaints from fans to the Athletics Department, where at college football games, students yell an obscenity. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony was stated as saying, "We would hope that the student body could be more creative than that. That sentence takes no intelligence and no creativity to yell." I don't think anybody, whether they are a student or an enthusiastic spectator, comes to a football game, watching guys beat each other up, and thinks, "What can I say to come off as intelligent and creative?" A football game is not the same as going to a Montel Williams show to discuss domestic abuse between partners. Everybody comes to a football game to see an exciting and violent display of athletes competing against each other; academics are the last thing on fans' minds when they are watching a football game. Is it wrong that a fan shows passion by yelling a phrase from a comedy movie? Are we, the student body, going to be pushed into what we can and can't say? Are we going to be pushed into a mold that makes us sheep here at the University, or are we going to express our passion, individuality and insatiable desire to party? There is a time to study, there is a time to work, but there is also a time to party. Brown is a Lee's Summit, Mo., junior in journalism. MOUNTAIN DEW AT MIDNIGHT A guide on how to write good, er, well When writing papers, here are a few rules of thumb to live by when it comes to grammar, including punctuation and word usage JENNY HARTZ Most of us would say we write pretty good. I mean, we don't want to brag or anything, but we just have the skills. Well. No, not well as in, "well, I beg to differ" (although I do). I mean well as in that is how you write. You write well, not good. At the Writing Center, whose main office is located in 4017 Wescoe, we see lots of people who write good and some who write well. But, regardless of a writer's skill, it amazes me how people make very basic grammar mistakes over and over. It's like not knowing that one plus one equals three. Today I will provide you with a fun writing guide to remind you of the basics. For further details, consult a writing manual like "The Everyday Writer." 1. Your thesis statement determines the whole purpose of your paper, kind of like how your major declaration determines your whole life. The thesis should be specific, but not too specific that it limits what you can write about. It should also be intriguing, but not too intriguing or your professor might actually read the rest of your paper. For example, check out the thesis for my article: This article will be amazing because I wrote it. 2. Titles of books, movies, magazines, and other major works go in italics (unless they're in a newspaper, in which case they're in quotations, as seen here). Titles of songs, episodes, articles and other works found within a bigger work go in quotation marks. Example: I caught my boyfriend in the bedroom with my Britten Spencer* room with my Britney Spears' Oops, I Did it again album. He was rocking out to "Lucky." 3. Please do not go comma decorating, as my previous roommate put it. Commas should not be placed randomly about like shiny ornaments on a Christmas tree (or, to be PC, a holiday tree). Here are a few times when to use them: a. Comma to connect two complete sentences with a conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so, a.k.a. FAN BOYS) Example: It was Friday, so I didn't go to class. b. Comma after the dependent clause (introductory phrase) Example: After I drink a can of Mountain Dew, I write many insightful things and don't sleep for days. c. Comma to offset appositives (phrases further explaining or defining something). Example: Facebook, a synonym for stalking, is being sued. 5. Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun. Example: The snowstorm affected everyone on campus. The effects were devastating: people started wearing Ugg boots. 4. Their vs. There: We think Kansas State University is there in Manhattan. We know their team isn't that good. 6. Try to not start sentences with "there is" or "there are." Example: You can change, "There is a limited number of parking spots on campus" to, "Parking doesn't exist at KU." See? There are many other ways to start a sentence. DRAWING BOARD 7. Literary present tense must be used when talking about any written work. This also includes movies and other such sources. Even though these things happened a long time ago, they must be discussed as if they are happening right at this moment. Of course, if something has already happened at the point of the story you are describing, then it is okay to use past tense. Example: Aeneas prays to the gods to save his ship from the storm because they saved him from a pit of man-eating spiders on Thursday. 8. Always end your paper with a conclusion. Usually it should sum up the paper and provide new insights on the topic, possibly on how the topic relates to the larger picture. For example, here is the conclusion to my article, which I feel contains profound ideas and leaves readers with something to think about. In conclusion, overall, to sum things up, looking back on it all, all's well that ends well, happily ever after, what I really think is, the end. Hartz is a Stilwell junior in creative writing.

"I started running because I was good at it." Wissel said. "Right now, I run every day. I rarely take a day off. I'm living the routine." Wissel, an Elm Green, Neb., native, lived the routine since he began running year round during his sophomore year of high school. His hard work paid off. In addition to becoming the 2006 Big 12 individual champion, Wissel was named a 2006 college All-American. Wissel's current success has been years in the making. RACE TO SUCCESS "Before he became a dominant athlete in Nebraska, we had already known about him." As Colly grew up in Elm Creek, his father, Stan Wissel, gave him opportunities to excel in athletics by organizing fun runs at his elementary school. Later, Wissel would be coached by his father at Elm Creek High School where he was expected to play quarterback for the football team. had to decide whether he would stay with his father in Elm Creek and play football or leave for nearby Kearney High School to pursue distance running. Elm Creek didn't have the competitive cross country program that Kearney had. After much thought, Wissel left his father and football behind. During his freshman year Wissel excelled in football, basketball, baseball and track and field, but felt that his future in athletics depended on focusing on one sport. Wissel DOUG CLARK Kansas assistant coach "I knew that if I wanted to do anything beyond high school, I would probably have to start focusing on running." Wissle said. "The thing about me is that I didn't want to be average in four sports. I wanted to be good at one sport, so I went in that direction and focused on running." At Kearney High School, Wissel's name quickly became associated with distance running. He gained attention from Division I schools across the country. He won nine separate state championships and became a high school All American. From Georgia to Kansas, Wissel was a much sought after recruit. "Before he became a dominant athlete in Nebraska, we had already known about him." Assistant coach Doug Clark said. "His high school coach had contacted us about him before we could even start recruiting him." At the University of Kansas, Wissel would meet fellow distance runner Paul Hefferon, Overland Park senior. Together Wissel and Hefferon would become All Americans and quickly make their way up the Kansas distance-running record lists. Competing against each other on a daily basis caused them to work harder and longer than they ever had before. The reason being, if one of them relaxed in his training, the other would take over and become the dominant runner. Their friendly competition was more helpful than competitive. "Having someone who is close to your level and developing at the same rate and taking the same journey, it helps both of us tremendously," Hefferon said. "We help each other, especially during the difficult times in the race. If one of us is feeling stronger that day, then the other one can use that energy to help them have a better race." During their sophomore year, Wissel and Hefferon traded success back and fourth. Each week was a competition, not just with the rest of the field, but with each other, and the winner was different at each event. This continued until their junior year when HeFFERON was sidelined by an injury. For weeks, he wasn't allowed to train, and Wissel took the lead. Even with all of his individual success, Wissel has stayed focused on helping his team be as productive as possible. Words of encouragement come easily from Wissel to his teammates.

Boston College won the nationally televised game 47-45 on a last second Hail Mary pass by $ 5'10 " quarterback Doug Flutie. The now famous pass caught the attention of the nation, and Flutie went on to win the Heisman Trophy that year. The Boston College football team finished the season ranked No. 8, at 10-2, including a Cotton Bowl victory against Houston. Before Doug Flutie played at Boston College, the last short quarterback to win the Heisman Trophy was the legendary Davey O'Brien, who the national quarterback of the year award is named after, back in 1938. 5 Sophomore quarterback Todd "Sparky" Reesing, is having success very similar to Doug Flutie's Heisman campaign. Kansas is winning and slowly getting more attention now that games are being nationally televised. BY BRYAN WHEELER 'BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM Flutie, who was an All-League performer at Natick High School in Massachusetts, was overlooked by colleges because of his height. The only school to offer him a scholarship was Boston College. Reeing, a stand out at Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas, was also overlooked by in-state schools Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. It's the same story. An all-star high school quarterback who was doubted because of his height goes on to college and succeeds. While Reesing may not have the same amount of national attention as quarterbacks like Florida's Tim Tebow or Kentucky's Andre Woodson, he is certainly getting attention in the Big 12. The coaches who did not offer him scholarships, Dennis Franchione at Texas A&M and Mack Brown at Texas, are both kicking themselves now. Todd Reesing, 2007 season Projected Stats QUARTERBACK COMPARISON Todd Reesing and Doug Flutie MERCY BROWN "Anybody who didn't recruit him, including us, made a mistake," Brown said Monday at the Big 12 football coaches teleconference. On Tuesday, during Texas & M's media luncheon, coach Franchione was asked whether he remembered Reesing's play at Lake Travis. He said, "Yeah, just a guttier winner. I say the descriptions our guys used when looking at him were 'competitor'... kind of like Chase Daniel... 'fiery', 'winner', does whatever he needs to do to move his team. I think he's playing that way right now." When then to No. 24-ranked Kansas State lost to Kansas, junior defensive end Ian Campbell said after the game, "I was impressed with Todd Reesing. He's not a very tall or big guy, but knowing myself personally, you can't judge a book by its cover. I was impressed with how he handled himself and he does very well when he scrambles as well. They've got a solid team and he's got a good receiving corp." Doug Flutie,1984 season Heisman Trophy winner 3,094 yards passing 3,454 29 touchdown passes 27 368 yards rushing 149 Kansas is still undefeated team's season result Led Boston College to a 10-2 record and victory in the Cotton Bowl. The opposing defenses that have tried to stop Reesing on the field have also noticed his play. After losing to Kansas last weekend, senior line back Jordon Dizon, Colorado's Dick. Butkus Award semifinalist, said, "He's as fast as our linebackers and almost as fast as our db's, and he isn't a quarterback to shy away from contact; he'll lower his shoulder to get some extra yards. He was able to get yards with his feet when he needed to, and he did a good job keeping their offense on the field. He played well today." If Reesing continues to play the way he has the rest of the season, he will have very similar statistics to what Flutie had during his Heisenman year. In 1984, Flutie passed for 3,454 yards and 27 touchdowns, and rushed for 149 yards. Reesing is currently on pace 7 to pass for 3,094 yards and 29 touchdowns, and rush for 368 yards. Given Kansas' success this season, the Heisman voters should be watching. If Doug Flutie caught their attention in 1984, and if Davey O'Brien did in 1938, Reesing should be considered. After all, he is only a sophomore, and Kansas is 7-0 and ranked No. 9 in the BCS.

Through its first eight games, Texas A&M ranks fifth in the nation in rushing offense with more than 260 yards per game. The Aggies have eclipsed 350 rushing yards in two games so far. Kansas coach Mark Mangino knows how potent the A&M ground game can be. Triple threat Texas A&M's top three rushers: Atts Yards Average TDs Stephen McGee 120 711 5.9 4 Jorvorske Lane 117 575 4.9 15 Mike Goodson 96 465 4.8 2 "They do a good job of executing the offense and the option game," Mangino said. "They try to out-gap you with running with the quarterback and creating an extra gap. Our defense has played well against the run all year but this is a different kind of challenge." Ranked seventh in the nation in defending the run, the Kansas front seven have been impressive, to say the least. But only one team the jayhawks have played this year ranks higher than 60th in rushing offense. College Station, Texas, will be the site of Kansas defense's first true test against a consistently efficient rushing offense. The Aggie offense presents a problem because it's not only one running back causing damage. Texas A&M has three primary ball carriers. "Stephen McGee is just playing outstanding and running the ball very well," Mangino said. "Plus, they have those quality running backs in Jorvorskie Lane and Mike Goodson that also help that running attack." McGee, a junior quarterback, runs the show. In an age of college football where the majority of programs are deploying spread offenses, the Aggies stick to a classic approach with an option offense. Nebraska as an indicator, McGee prefers to stash the ball and fight for the yards himself. He ran for career-highs in attempts (35) and yards (167) in the game. Members of the Kansas defense said McGee made the offense harder to prepare for. Most of the Texas A&M rushing plays start with McGee racing off to one side of the line with a decision to either keep the ball or pitch it to a running back. As evident in last week's 36-14 victory against Texas A&M's quarterback Stephen McGee runs for 167 yards on 35 carries Saturday against Nebraska. The Aggies bring in the No. 5 ranked rushing offense against Kansas' No. 7 ranked run defense this week. TEXAS A&M 15 N 40 N "That's going to be a whole other dimension to their offense that we haven't really seen this year because he will take off, and he's very fast, so you have to keep an eye on him," junior defensive end Russel Brorsen said. "You have to keep your angles right because he's not a normal quarterback." Running backs Mike Goodson and Jovorskie Lane serve as McGee's partners in crime. Goodson brings the speed, and he blew past the Jayhawks last year in Lawrence for 9.9 yards per carry. Lane brings ASSOCIATED PRESS the power at 268 pounds and has already run for 15 touchdowns this season. Aggie coach Dennis Franchione said the Jayhawk defensive line looked great on film.

But there's a much larger gap between Lawrence and College Station, Texas, in terms of college football lore. So far this season, the layhawks have played in the presence of thousands of purple-clad fanatics at Kansas State and in the thin air of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Neither of these experiences is comparable with the atmosphere of Texas A&M's Kyle Field. Mangino didn't misspeak. During the pregame singing of the "Aggie War Hymn," Texas A&M's fight "It's one of the great college football venues in America," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said, "The A&M fans are known for their sportsmanship. I've competed against them several times over the years, and they're big into sportsmanship, but they cheer loud, and they get the stadium swaying." song, Aggie supporters latch onto one another and sway side-to-side, causing the stadium to move, similar to Allen Fieldhouse during the KU Alma Mater "I've never actually seen a game there, but from what you hear, it's a wild place," junior defensive end Russell Brorsen said.

A A. Our goal is to get into the top half. It's going to be really challenging because everybody in the Big 12 got better. It's going to be hard, but I think if we all have a really good race at the same time we should get there. Yasmina Abdullah Q. Who's your favorite professional athlete? ... A. Michael Johnson. He's actually the reason why I started running, I actually thought I was a spinner because I ran the mile in sixth grade for gym class and I was always the first one done. So I wanted to be like him and his golden shoes and go to the Olympics and run the 100. But, obviously, I'm a distance runner. Q. What's your favorite thing to eat after a race? A. A Q. How do you feel about having a combined men's and women's cross country team? A. Bad food. I guess, just comfort food. I'm always craving something fruity and cold, so a smoothie or something like that. A. I love it. I've heard just this year that Texas has completely separate programs. I would never be able to imagine having that because here it's just like in high school. I just like having the girls and the guys. It's a totally different dynamic. ... TIME Michael Johnson Gilden there are all adolescents who need to be taught the knowledge they'll Golden Feat Q. Do you know what you're going to be for Halloween? A A. Yeah. I'm going to be the girl from flash dance with the brown hair and everything. Q. What's your favorite scary movie? A. Oh my gosh, I hate scary movies. The best one would be "Signs" because of the whole message at the end. So it means more and it's not as scary. Q. What's your favorite type of candy? A. Candy corn. I've just been eating them every day. Those candy corn pumpkins, I love those. A Q. What scares you more, vampires or werewolves? A. A. Werewolves, you don't know how to kill them. With Q. What are your plans for this Halloween? vampires you have a stake. A. We're trying to have a party with the team, all of the guys and girls, but we can't really convince the guys to have a party.

We've been training real hard at practices. I think for regions to go well, the Big 12's are important. As far as placing, I want to say the middle of the pack, but I'm not in a position to say which place. 10 Q. Where's your favorite place to run? A. Probably one of my favorite places to run is just basically anywhere out in the country. It's real nice to get out in the open. It feels more free, not tied down to city streets, and you can just go wherever you want. A BIG 12 CONFERENCE XII O Q. How do you feel about having a combined men's and women's cross country team? CROSS COUNTRY RUNNER NICK CAPRARIO DISCUSES EXPECTATIONS FOR SEASON, BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS AND FAVORITE SUPERHERO A. I'd say, most of the time it's OK. Sometimes though, I think the guys' team would probably like it a little bit more if it were a little more separated because there are certain things that girls and guys just don't do the same. I think all in all we try to get along as best as we can. Q. As fat as running goes, who been your biggest inspiration? O. A. It's always been the senior leaders for me. It was in high school the same as it is now. We just had great senior leadership and now we have Paul [Hefferon] and Colby [Wissel] and Patrick [McGowan]. They've just really helped to make it fun for the rest of the team. A BROKENZE Q. If Coach Redwine and Coach Clark raced, who would win? A. Coach Clark is probably in better long distance shape. It would depend on the race, but I'm going to have to go with Redwine on this one. A. That You Sang DVD Q. What's your favorite TV Show right now? A A. Right now, it would probably be "That '70s Show." A Q. If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be? A. It would probably be the ability to fly. I've always kind of had a fascination with flying. Q. Who would be your arch nemesis? A. My arch nemesis would probably be Paul Hefferon. His power would be able to freeze people. 10 Q. How would Paul try to destroy the world? A Basically, he would just freeze everybody and go around and change things to his liking and when he unfreezes everybody, everything would just break loose and there would be mass chaos. Q. How would you save the world? A. What's Paul's one weakness? I would probably put a plate of ▶ Naismith breakfast in front of Paul and while he's distracted, I would take his powers from him.

But really, there's no other way it could've happened. Had they met at a church potluck, for instance, it would not have been awe-inspiring to watch my dad eat potato salad. Luckily, though, my mom first met my dad at Freemen's in 1976. That night he lit a disco inferno in her heart that is still burning 32 years later. Freemen's punctuated its pulsating disco beats with the sweet and simple twang of a country two step and my father could do it all. His Hustle was as strong as his West Texas Waltz and my poor mother had no choice. When she joined him on the dance floor that night, some part of her knew that she was going to be dancing with David Lott for as long as they both would live. Not that my dad had much choice in the matter either. "I'm all fired up! my dad told mom later that evening. "Because you're a really pretty girl and usually really pretty girls aren't nice at all—they don't have to be. But you're not like that, you're the prettiest and nicest person I've ever met." How do you not fall in love with the prettiest and nicest person you've ever met? How do you not fall in love with the most amazing dancer you've ever seen? The fact is, you do.

Heferon said. "It just helps you come along, especially from someone who isn't your coach." THE TITLE DEFENSE It's a cloudy, brisk day just outside the city of Lawrence and Colby Wissel is taking advantage of it. He has to. There is only one week left before he has to defend his title of Big 12 individual champion in Lubbock, Texas, at the Big 12 Cross Country Championship. Outside of Lubbock, there is a billboard with a picture of Wissel running in last year's Big 12 Championship race. Out of every male cross country runner in the Big 12 conference, Wissel was chosen because he was the best. He will see the onboard he drives into Lubbock, but right now, it isn't on his mind. Right now, he is focused on training and having fun with his teammates. He jokes more about the television series "The Office" than about his upcoming title defense. "He's not a boastful or arrogant athlete, and that's one of his strong suits because he could be," Hefferon of the men's cross country team "I've always felt, since the first day I coached him, that he could go on to the next level beyond college athletics. I know he can do it physically, but he'll have to decide to do it." said. DOUG CLARK Assistant coach Teammates say that it's that kind of laid back attitude that has made him one of the most well-liked members "I think the Wissel is the current University record holder in the men's 3,000 meters. He set that record during his junior year, and the coaching staff thought he had the potential to accomplish even more. stage is set for him to elevate to be the best guy since Jim Ryun, Clark said. "He could be one of the best runners since the "60s." Wissel estimates that there have been 30 days in the past year that he has not trained, and that the other 335 days have contained some sort of workout. He stayed at school to run during his fall and spring breaks and came back to Lawrence weeks before school was scheduled to begin during winter break. He doesn't even remember the last time he had a vacation, but he probably spent a good part of that vacation running. HIS NEXT STEP When he does get a chance to return to Elm Creek, Wissel can easily see how his decision to become a distance runner has changed the course of his life. He spends time with his friends playing football or basketball. All the while, he thinks about what life might have been like if he had decided to play football rather than become a distance runner. Even with all of the pressure and obligation, Wissel stays motivated. "Day in and day out the motivation has to come from within you," Wissel said. "I think that if I have that strong fire in me, that drive to be the best, that's where my motivation comes from." Like most people, Wissel wishes he could see the future to know what life has in store for him. The directions his life could take are very different. After he finishes his eligibility this year, he plans to stay with the team as a volunteer assistant coach while he finishes his accounting degree. After that, he will have another decision to make. He's thought about entering the working world using his degree, and he's also thought about pursuing his love of distance running by becoming a professional, with a shoe company sponsoring him. He could end his obligation to run every day, or he could continue as he has for the past seven years. Either way, he has a decision to make. football notebook Edited by Kaitlyn Syring PREPARED FOR CROWD NOISE This weeekend, Kansas will visit one of the most famous - and noisiest - venues in college football. Texas A&M's kyle Field seats more than 80,000 of some of the loudest fans in the nation. Kansas Cantrell started preparing for the experience Wednesday by practicing in Memorial Stadium with artificial crowd noise and the Texas A&M fight song blaring. Junior center Ryan Cantrell, who has watched multiple games at Kyle Field, said it would be fun to play at the notorious stadium even if it didn't motivate him any more. "The only motivation I need is to sing the Rock Chalk chant after each game. One more check on the list is all I need." HEISMAN HOPEFUL It's been quite a while since a Kansas player made a realistic push for the Heisman Trophy, Sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing might not change that this season, but he has. started attracting some Heisman attention. CSTV included Reseing at No. 9 on its Heisman Watch list this week, behind nationally acclaimed players such as Oregon Neville Reesing quarterback Dennis Dixon and Arkansas running back Darren McFadden. So far this season, Reesing has accumulated 1,805 passured yards and ranks fourth in the nation in passing efficiency with a rating of 149.42. SECONDARY The Kansas secondary has proved sturdy this season, allowing just 178 passing yards per game. Because of the success, Kansas coach Mark Mangino sees no reason to distribute playing time any differently in the defensive backfield. Sophomore safety Justin Thornton will continue to see most of his playing time in third-and-long formations, Mangino said. Last weekend against Colorado, Thornton replaced junior safety Patrick Resby for much of the second half even playing in the team's base formation. Mangino said junior cornerback Kendrick Harper had done a good job fitting into his nickel back position despite missing the first four games of the season. Harper has made five tackles and one interception in three games. 》 COLLEGE FOOTBALL Mount Union deserves historic recognition BY NANCY ARMOUR ASSOCIATED PRESS - Mount Union? ALLIANCE, Ohio — Think of college football dynasties, and a few programs should come to mind: Oklahoma, Nebraska, Alabama, Miami, Notre Dame, Mount Union. Asher Fusco It's no surprise that the Purple Raiders are undefeated again this season. They've posted four shutouts and haven't allowed a touchdown in more than a month. They put up 52 points in the season opener against Averett — and that was just in the first quarter. Yes, Mount Union, the tiny Division III school in northeastern Ohio. What the Purple Raiders are doing is as impressive as anything the major programs have accomplished: nine national titles, with eight in the last 11 years alone; a 223-10-1 record since 1990 that's the best in all of college football. "Before you get here, you know all about Mount Union's great history, its tradition, the win streaks, all the great accomplishments," said Nate Kniic, a junior who is already Mount Union's career rushing leader. "You're just hoping you can live up to those standards. You're just trying to keep up with that great tradition. When Larry Kehres took over as Mount Union's coach in 1986, he didn't dream of building a dynasty. Kehres had played at Mount Union and served as an assistant coach for 11 years, watching the Purple Raiders grow from an average program in the 1960s and 1970s to the Ohio Athletic Conference champions in 1985. "You don't want to leave Mount Union being the senior class that didn't win the Stagg Bowl," he added, referring to the Division III national championship game. "You don't want to be that class." His goal was consistency, to make Mount Union a team that could contend for the OAC title each year. "I'd seen growth and improvement, better players; Our facilities were improving. I had a feeling we could be successful," Kehres said. "I didn't envision this." In 1993, Kehres' eighth season, Mount Union had its first unde- feated season and won its first Stagg Bowl. It was the start of something historic. Since then, Mount Union has made it to the Division III semifinals or better every year but one (they lost in the quarterfinals in that "down" season). The Purple Raiders have won three straight national titles two different times, from 1996-98 and from 2000-02. Notre Dame leads Division 1 with eight national titles, but it took the Irish 50-plus years to get them. Life Happens.

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig was on hand for the announcement at Fenway Park before the World Series opener between Colorado and Boston. O'Neil, a Negro Leagues star and the first black coach in the majors, fell two votes shy of induction into the Hall of Fame during a special election in February 2006. He died last October at age 94. A statue of O'Neil will be erected inside the museum, and the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to a worthy recipient no more than every three years. "His impact on the game has been enormous," Selig said. "He's now in Cooperstown where he belongs."

Surprised? Wondering how time flew by so quickly? So were we. Amidst a perfect season from the football team, one week ago we realized that we hadn't planned ahead for one of the cornerstones of the fall semester at the Kansas; the basketball preview special section. This left us four days, with a Monday-night deadline, to scramble for content and put together this comprehensive preview of the 2007-2008 season of Kansas Basketball. Well, here it is, an entire section about the basketball teams — if you even want to read it that is. For the first time, well, maybe ever, basketball season could dwell in football's shadow until the Big 12 Conference comes calling in January and the Bowl season is recent history. When are there ever empty seats at Late Night in the Phog? In 2003, hundreds were denied entry, but this year you could have skipped the skits, walked in when the scrimmages started and still gotten a decent seat. Despite this lack of interest, we've got columns, Q and A's, predictions, Big 12 team previews, Jayhawks in the NBA, a basketball-band article and tips for camping out — in case you've been so caught up in KU football that you forgot the rules. Is Kansas in danger of changing its face from a basketball school to a football school? Eh, probably not. Bill Self knows this isn't a competition. "Everybody asks me." Self said, "I know they ask Mark (Mangino) this all the time, 'you're competing with basketball there' or this or that. I loved his response: 'I don't think they're on our schedule this year.'" So even though there's a scheduling conflict, I'm sure you can fit a little bit of basketball into your life, especially for a team expected to compete for a national championship. And even though a home date against Nebraska may be dancing in your head, once the first whistle blows to tip-off against Pittsburgh State, you'll be reminded why basketball was the first love of Kansas Athletics. credits Publisher Editor-in-Chief Managing Editors Advertising Director Sports Editor Special Sections Editor Design Chiefs The University Daily Kansar Erick R.

He asked whether I'd heard the Bill Self rumors. Rumors? What rumors? Truth be told, nobody was saying much at all about basketball during that solemn hangover for Jayhawk fans, so I'd heard nothing about Self. Of course! It made so much sense: A once hot-commodity coach turned postseason flopper returns home with his tail between his legs, pretending to be thrilled to take over at his alma "He's coming to Oklahoma State, taking over for Eddie Sutton," the guy boldly informed me. BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT KANSAN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ESCCHMIDT@KANSAN.COM My reaction? I laughed in the guy's face (via the telephone, but I'm sure he got the message). The problem is, I never bought into any of those doomsday prophecies after the team's second consecutive surprise ending. mater when really he's ashamed he couldn't hack it in the spotlight. Now I'm not saying the idea never entered my mind. I'd wondered immediately after the hire of Self in 2003 what he would do when Sutton decided to hang them up. Id even put myself in his shoes, wondering if I would leave a perennial powerhouse (say, North Carolina for conversation's sake) in order to That's right, I said it. I'm not just a Self supporter, I'm also a Bonnie believer. return to The Kaw. So I realized it might happen at some point. But I laughed because the O'Collegian editor was making an assumption that fans in Lawrence had turned against Self for his inability to win when it counted. That might fly somewhere else (say, at Chapel Hill for conversations sake), but not here at Kansas. We recognize a good thing when we see it, and we've got two good ones pacing the sideline at Allen Fieldhouse. That's right, I said it. I'm not just a Self supporter, I'm also a Bonnie believer. The women's team was in stagnant disarray when the Athletics Department stepped up and brought Bonnie Henrickson to the University in 2004. Now entering her fourth season at the helm, Henrickson has made leaps both in expectations of her squad and in putting Kansas back on the radar in the Big 12. The team's upset of No. 24 Texas in January 2006 was its first against a ranked opponent since 2001 and sent out a warning signal that the program was headed in the right direction. The key for both Self and Henrickson has been their ability to bring in playmakers. The best high school talent on the men's side has been walking through the doors of Allen Fieldhouse for decades now, but the basketball program as a whole has taken a major step forward through Henrickson. The team has scoring threats inside and out with returners Marija Zinic and Danielle McCray holding down the paint and sharpshooter Kelly Kohn scoring from the outside. It's taken a few years, but Henrickson has assembled a team of her own players, and the results promise to be favorable. Perhaps best of all, there's potential for both coaches to be here for quite some time. College basketball's hottest commodity is young coaches who can bring in the top talent and create excitement within the community for their teams. That's never going to be a stretch in Jayhawk country, but both Self and Henrickson can get the job done. I get excited thinking about the Geno Auriemma/lim Calhoun machine at UConn and hoping something similar could exist here. And why couldn't it? Kansas has one of the top men's basketball programs year in and year out. Both Self and Henrickson have the potential to write their own legacies and make the program theirs. As for that Oklahoma State editor, I sometimes wonder what he's up to. Picking the Yankees in six, taking the spread against Colt Brennan and stirring the "Steve Spurrier's getting the ax" pot? Well, keep your hopes up buddy. Maybe next year.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The University of Kansas www.kualumni.org 864-4760 COMMENTARY KANSAN FILE PHOTO PASSIONATE SINGING Men's basketball coach Bill Self has a history of winning at all the schools he has coached at. Self has the highest winning percentage of any Kansas basketball coach ever at .784. Self knows how to win BY BRYAN WHEELER KANSAN COLUMNIST BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM C In the 104 years before Bill Self's arrival at Kansas, the men's basketball team had just seven coaches. Three coaches — Phog Allen, Larry Brown and Roy Williams — were so successful at Kansas that they were inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. The first one, James Naismith, who — oh yeah — invented the game, was not. Instead, the hall is named the "Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame." With the exception of hired gun Larry Brown, who coached at Kansas for only four years, the aver age tenure of the other six coaches was nearly 17 years. All were hired with one thing in mind: winning the National Championship. Only Phog Allen, who won three, and Larry Brown, who won one, were able to accomplish this feat. But if there is anyone out there now who knows how to win, it is Bill Self. Each school Self coached at before Kansas has won. In four seasons at Oral Roberts, he finished 55-54, with his most notable season being 1996-1997, when the team went 21-7. After coaching at Oral Roberts, he went on to Tulsa for three seasons, with an overall record of 74-27, including an NCAA Elite Eight Appearance. After coaching at Tulsa, he went on to coach at Illinois for three seasons, leading the Fighting Illini to 78-24 in three seasons with yet another Elite Eight Appearance. Through four seasons, Self has the highest winning percentage — at .784 — of any Kansas basketball coach ever. When Self won at Oral Roberts, Tulsa and Illinois, fans were just happy their teams were winning. At a school with such a rich basketball tradition, Kansas fans are spoiled. Posting the highest winning percentage of any coach at Kansas in his first four years makes fans want to see Kansas in the National Championship. The pressure for coaches to win at Kansas is comparable to other college basketball powerhouses North Carolina and Kentucky, and for college football at Notre Dame, Alabama and Nebraska. At media day on Oct. 12, fans were hanging out around Allen Fieldhouse hours before Late Night in the Phog. Many were excited about the possibility of Kansas going to the National Championship. Inside the Naismith Hall of Athletics, reporters asked a number of questions, showing the lofty expectations of Self as a coach, and the pressure to win. Self was asked by one reporter about fans dwelling on last year's Elite Eight loss to UCLA. "I can't be upset for fans if they dwell on us playing poorly in an Elite Eight Game, because I dwelled on it. I mean, why should they feel any differently than me?" Self said. While the fans, players and Self would all like Kansas to win the National Championship, the reality is that the NCAA Basketball Tournament is one of the toughest competitions in all of sports. Self commented on the competitiveness of the NCAA tournament when he said, "You get to the Sweet 16, all the teams are good, everybody can beat anybody." This is certainly true. Though Kansas basketball is rich in tradition, the expectation for the program to win an NCAA Championship is quite presumptuous. Not only do fans expect Kansas to be successful, but sports writers often times think the same thing. Almost every year, there is a long list of preseason honors for the basketball team and its individual players. This year, the most audacious comment came from Sports Illustrated's Luke Winn, who said it would be a "colossal disappointment" if Kansas did not reach the Final Four. When asked at media day about the remark, Self responded, "How can it be a colossal disappointment if you've got ten teams that should be in the Final Four? That's not how athletics work. Would we be disappointed? Yes, but I guarantee it, the coaches Coach W-L PCT Bill Self 105-29 .784 Ted Owens 85-24 .784 Roy Williams 103-30 .774 Larry Brown 108-33 .776 WQ. Hamilton 57-20 .740 Phog Allen 63-24 .724 Dick Harp 72-31 .699 James Naismith 19-23 .452 sun will come up the next day. So colossal, that's not colossal." Self is certainly right in saying that, and it is no more apparent than looking at the football team. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino was hired to turn around a team that hadn't had a winning record this decade until he led the team to a 7-5 record in 2005. Source: Kansas media guide Kansas coaches in their first four seasons Now, thanks to Mangino, the team is 7-0 and ranked No.9 in the BCS rankings. A year ago, no one would have ever guessed there would be competition at Kansas between the football and men's basketball teams over who would finish the season ranked higher nationally. We are proud to support 20 years of local flavor and KANSAS 1618 W. 23rd Street 785-865-4211 www.dunnbros.com FRESH ROASTED inspires better coffee! Free WiFi BASKETBALL LOCAL FLAVOR DUNN BROS COFFEE The friendly competition was witnessed at Late Night in the Phog, when Mangino made a cameo appearance and received a standing ovation in front of a nearly packed crowd at Allen Field House. Kansas, still undefeated, was to face Baylor the next morning and Mangino stopped by in between a football team workout to tell Kansas fans, "Have a good time tonight and cheer a lot, but save a little bit for tomorrow morning at Memorial Stadium." Mangino exited and Bill Self announced, "The best thing that can happen to our school is for the football team to be good, but isn't it about time for basketball season to get started?" The crowd cheered. During most years when Late Night in the Phog started, it couldn't come at a better time during the football season. Typically, the football team is already out of contention, leaving fans with a desire for what has defined Kansas athletics: basketball The idea of Kansas being just as much in contention for a National Championship in football as it is in basketball seems absurd. Kansas is the home where the game of basketball was perfected. In 108 years, Kansas has won 1,906 games, made 36 NCAA Tournament appearances, 12 Final Four appearances and won four National Championships. The last time the football team was a national contender was in 1969, when Bill Self was seven years old and Mark Mangino was 13. While fans may be expecting a National Championship out of Bill Self and the men's basketball team this season, they should remember it has only happened four times at Kansas in the past 108 years. Kansas may have about as good a chance ever this season with Self, and it would be great to see Kansas a national champion, but it certainly won't be a "colossal disappointment" if Kansas doesn't make the Final Four. Just remember, there are 11 other basketball programs in the Big 12 that would love to be in Kansas' position this season. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2007 BASKETBALL PREVIEW 5C COMMENTARY 10 Things I love about (K)U A BY CASE KEEFER KANSAN COLUMNIST CKEEFR@KANSAN.COM When I moved to Lawrence, I never thought my visits to Allen Fieldhouse would include going to watch the women's team. But last year, I received the women's basketball beat here at the University Dally Kansan and watched the excitement of the women's team first-hand all season. It's important to attend at least one women's basketball game this season and here's a list of ten reasons why: 10. KANSAS BASKETBALL: THE GOLDEN GIRLS I know it's tempting to get your fill of women working through adversity on Lifetime Channel's re-runs of "The Golden Girls" but come on. Tallying sophomore forward Danielle McCray's double-doubles is more fun than witnessing how starring actress Bea Arthur won so many Emmys. 9. FREET-SHIRTS Before every home game last year, each of the 14 players tossed Kansas basketball shirts into the crowd. Because the attendance is usually sparse, I figure there's about a one-in-four chance of grabbing one. If you attend all 18 home games, that's 4.5 shirts and half of a wardrobe. 8. CHAKEITHA WELDON Weldon comes to Lawrence straight from the heart of the South: Atlanta. I'm thrilled with Weldon's arrival because now I'm not the only one on campus that wears University of Georgia gear. More importantly for the team, Weldon can bring a much-needed Southern swagger. ... 7.THE'X-FACTOR' At six-foot-two, sophomore forward Marija Zinic possesses all the physical gifts needed to be a force in the frontcourt. But her finesse play and reluctance to leave her feet are a source of constant headaches for coach Bonnie Henrickson. Henrickson has referred to her as the 'X-Factor' in recent interviews because it's still unclear whether this season will be the year Zinic plays to her potential. 6. NUMBERTWO Why does sophomore guard Kelly Kohn wear the number two jersey? Kohn said because that way she knows there's always someone ahead of her that's number one. But no one will wear number one this year for Kansas. I see it as an omen indicating a break out year for the Adrian, Mich., native. first row of the student section at Allen Fieldhouse but don't have the time and/or energy to camp out for five days? Try a women's game for a guaranteed spot on the coveted row. 5. ALLEN FIELDHOUSE Ever wanted to sit in the 4. DEREK BOOGAARD'S SISTER Go to You Tube, type in Derek Boogaard and enjoy a video full of knock out punches and brutal hockey fights. Derek Boogaard is arguably the National Hockey League's most infamous fighter, and actually set up a camp this summer that taught pee wee hockey players the techniques of fighting in the rink. His sister, freshman Krysten Bogaard, is Henrickson's prized incoming recruit. Although Krysten Boogaard may not beat up opponents this year like her brother, she's related to the guy and she must be tough. 3. DANIELLE MCCRAY Yea, Brandon Rush could be playing in the NBA right now, Mario Chalmers is as clutch as Keri Strug and Sherron Collins can't be stopped when he penetrates the lane. But McCray's shot is the prettiest on campus. Add in that she's the Jayhawk's best rebounder, McCray holds the power to single-handedly catapult Kansas into the top half of the B 12 standings. 2. BONNIE BALL This list would be incomplete without a Bonnie Henrickson reference. Sure, you can wear cool shirts like "Our Coach Can Eat Your Coach" for Mark Mangino or "We Play With Our Own Self" for Bill Self but Henrickson doesn't need a cheesy shirt. She is hands-down the most entertaining and personable of all the athletic coaches employed by the University of Kansas. Don't kid yourself: the men's basketball team will make the NCAA Tournament, most 1. AN NCAA TOURNAMENT RUN likely with a top seed next to its name. But the women's team enters the season on the bubble.

The best way to ensure that it's a smooth ride is a solid start, and that couldn't be any truer for this season's women's basketball team. Last season, the team won four of its first five games, which were against inferior opponents. It then lost six of seven before a disastrous start to Big 12 play. The problem was that inexperience forced coach Bonnie Henrickson to put three or four freshmen on the court at once. Throughout the year, those freshmen took their lumps and struggled to grasp the offense. Henrickson admitted to cutting the playbook in half because her young players simply couldn't remember it all. The team bonded on the court, and with time came a semblance of balance and, eventually, victories. Kansas started 0-9 in the Big 12 before an overtime victory against Colorado sparked a turnaround, resulting in four more victories in the Jawhawks' last eight games. MARK CALVIN Before losing its final game of the season to Baylor, Kansas upset Oklahoma State in the Big 12 tournament, an outcome few people saw coming. Those final games, along with the amount of experience the team brings back, has Kansas excited about the opportunities of this season. Everything, however, hinges on how well the Jayhawks get out of the gate in 2007-08. BY TAYLOR BERN KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST TBERN@KANSAN.COM could put the players into the same kind of funk they suffered through last season. Looking at their schedule, the Jayhawks have the right kind of teams in place to begin a season They don't play any 2006-07 NCAA tournament teams until Marquette comes to Allen Fieldhouse on Dec. 6. That will give the team six regular season games and two exhibition games to prepare. This is still a young team, and the Big 12 is still a difficult conference. If the Jayhawks don't go in with an excellent non-conference record, their postseason hopes will be in trouble. Still, Kansas will travel to Dallas in late November for a two-game tournament. Then in mid-December, the team will head to California to play San Jose State and California. These road trips will help Henrickson find out if her team is ready to take the next step, as many of her players feel they are. Furthermore, a tough start Ivana Catic, junior guard, drives around Kelly Kohn, sophomore guard, during Late Night in the Phog earlier this month. Kohn and the team's five other sophomores struggled last season as freshmen as they adjusted to Big 12 play, but this season could bring bio improvements. The goal for the Jayhawks is the postseason, and the hope is that they'll pick up right where they left off last season. >> WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Women's team ready to grow up That would be a pleasant experience for Henrickson and her young nucleus of talent. It would also be a step in the right direction for an NCAA tourney bid. Every team that's finished 8-8 or better in Big 12 Conference history has made it to the postseason. New leaders emerge as last year's freshmen mature after tough first season That's definitely possible for this team. The way it's going to find out how far it can go, though, is in the few weeks, and that's plenty of reason to get excited. Edited by Matt Erickson KANSAS BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com KANSAN FILE PHOTO Freshman mistakes have been known to do that to a coach. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson joked that during her team's tumultuous 2006-07 season, she noticed a few more gray hairs. All jokes aside, last season was an ultimate test of patience for both players and coaches. Henrickson and her staff were dealing with seven players who didn't know the offense, and early on, the players saw little reward for their efforts. "Kelly Kohn said it best when she said, 'I've never worked so hard in my life and been so unsuccessful,'" Henrickson said. "I give them credit because every day they came back and were saying, 'Okay, who are we playing next?' "You don't have that kind of success at the end of the year if kids don't believe in what you are doing." The Jayhawks did have some success in the end, winning five of their final nine games. Kansas could have won even more games, but it was plagued by late-minute losses. that role. Of its 13 conference losses, six of them were by nine points or less. However, all five of the Jayhawks' conference wins were also within nine points. This year a pair of experienced sophomores, guard Danielle McCray and forward Sade Morris, will try to step into They were able to scratch and claw to win some close games, but the lack of a go-to player at the end of games kept them from doing it consistently. said of Morris. "That just show how aggressive she is right now McCray is to the position, as she returns with a team high 10.5 points per game. Morris only emerged in August on the team's trip to Australia. "Kelly Kohn said it best when she said, I've never worked so hard in my life and been so unsuccessful." "I'm just talk- ing about peo- ple who want to have the ball at the end, and she wants to have it." Henrickson BONNIE HENRICKSON Kansas coach She is right now. Last year she wouldn't have said that, probably none of her teammates would have said that." Consistency is something this team would desperately like to have, and it will come because of experience. "It was kind of tough as a freshman being in that predicament." McCray said of close games at the end. "but if that situation were to happen again I think that we'd get over it because we've been in that situation before." What was new and confusing is now old and familiar for this team, meaning close wins should come more often than close losses. And nothing's better for getting rid of gray than winning. — Edited by Matt Erickson THIS BASKETBALL SEASON START YOUR TRADITION Carly and Matt 图 THE BIGGEST BAR AND GRILL TO HIT WEST LAWRENCE - HAPPY HOUR - OPEN LATE WATCH THE GAMES ON OUR FLAT SCREEN TVS Private Dining & Banquets Serving 10-200 No Room Charges HH Bar&Grill 6th & Wakarusa 856-1080 HH LIVE in LUXURY IN ONE OF OUR MANY LAWRENCE LOCATIONS HUTTON FARMS 3401 Hutton Dr. Corner of Kasold & Peterson BRIARWOOD 4241 Briarwood Dr. TUCKAWAY 2600 W 6th HARPER SQUARE 2201 Harper Square HAWKER 10th & Missouri Check us out ONLINE! www.tuckawaymgmt.com 785-838-3377 • 785-841-3339 Tuckaway THE UNIVERSITY OF DARYL KANSAN THURSDAY OCTOBER 25, 2007 BASKETBALL PREVIEW 7C >> COMMENTARY Senior year to showcase Robinson's leadership KANSAN FILE PHOTO KANSAS Senior guard Russell Robinson, right, the two-time B12 All-Defensive Team player, will be the heart of the Jayhawk defense ms season. Coach Bill Self said Robinson's unselfish play puts the focus on winning rather than on racking up individual stats. Guard's shut-down defense will once again be essential The voice of the announcer at Allen Fieldhouse booms through the speakers above: "At guard, from New York, NEW YORK!" The crowd roars. "Number three, Russell Robinson!" That dialogue should be familiar to Kansas basketball fans. Russell Robinson is definitely a player worth shouting about. The 6-foot-2 senior from the Bronx returns for his final season at Kansas this year with high hopes after last season's impressive climb to the Elite Eight. A. M. B. SMITH A favorite player of coach Bill Self and often referred to as the "glue" of the team, Robinson will be a key factor for the Jayhawks early this season with Brandon Rush sidelined because of an ACL tear. BY DANNY NORDSTROM KANSAN COLUMNIST EDITOR@KANSAN.COM Robinson's incredible defense and tenacious hustle have earned him two Big 12 All-Defensive Team honors and will be the spark Kansas needs to fill the void of Rush, whose return date is tentatively set for Dec. 1. Robinson's offensive unselfishness complements his great defense. Last season he led the team in assists averaging 4.35 per game. This season the Jayhawks return four of five starters from last year, with the exception of Julian Wright, and are equipped with a more than able bench, including senior guard Rodrick Stewart, sophomore guard Brady Morningstar and senior guard Jeremy Case. With a team featuring five scholarship seniors, fans can expect to see an experienced group of players with great chemistry. Robinson's undeniable energy and hard-working attitude are two things he always brings to the court and will be essential to that chemistry. Though not usually known for his offense, Robinson contributes in a manner not typical of most players. "A lot of people think they have to score, but I think Russell cares about winning," Self said. "We can all say we care about that, but are we willing to sacrifice to make sure that gives us the best chance? He's one of those guys." Not only is Robinson loved for his fantastic defense and unselfish play, but his leadership skills have earned him two Danny Manning "Mr. Jayhawk" awards, voted on by his teammates. This season, Robinson's contributions will dictate whether the Jayhawks bring home their third Big 12 championship in a row and whether they can improve upon last season's Elite Eight run. As for his expectations for his final season, Robinson said, "I hope to try and go out with a bang, so I am going to work and play hard every game." Edited by Tara Smith big 12 basketball media day notebook Knight spends media day discussing other 'b-ball' KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Only Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight could turn the Big 12 basketball media day into a discussion about the baseball playoffs. Knight, who is the winningest college coach with 890 victories, grew up in Ohio and is a close friend of St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa. "The Cardinals are out of it. We've got to root for the (Cleveland) Indians," Knight began his session Wednesday. "(Indians manager) Eric Wedge is my next best friend. Anybody got any questions about the American League Championship Series?" Knight spent most of his 15 minutes fielding questions about baseball and deflected the only question about his Red Raiders basketball team. How important is it for the Indians to win Game 5 on Thursday at Cleveland and not go back to Fenwark Park? "I think it would be damn important." Knight said. If La Russa leaves the Cardinals, would he consider taking the Kansas City Royals managerial job, which is open? "I think it will depend on what he thinks would be the best situation for him to have a team that can defend, which might leave the Royals out." Knight said. "If I knew whether the Indians could beat the Rockies or not, George Bush would be asking me The Royals have finished last in their division the past four years, while La Russa managed the Cardinals to the 2006 World Series title and to the playoffs in six of the past eight years. If the Indians advance to the World Series, can they defeat the Colorado Rockies? how the hell do you get out of Iraq right now if I was that smart," Knight replied. Baylor gets new recruit in form of coach's newborn Though NCAA rules prohibit coaches from announcing recruits before they sign, Baylor coach Scott Drew happily announced a 2025 signee. Drew's wife, Kelly, went into labor Wednesday and was taken to a Waco, Texas, hospital. The Baylor delegation left early so the coach could return home for the birth. The Drews, who have a daughter, Mackenzie, were expecting their first son. "We'll sign him today,"Drew promised. The Bears return all five starters from last season's team, which finished 15-16, but they were picked ninth in the coaches' preseason poll. "If you're picked low, it can give you motivation," Drew said. "We feel this year we have the chance and potential to be a very good team. We need to make sure we take care of things on the court." The Bears will be a guard-oriented team with Curtis Jerrells, who was named to the preseason Big-12 1 first team; Henry Dugat, who shot a team-leading 40.6 percent in 3-pointers; Aaron Bruce, a three-year starter; sophomore Tweety Carter and highly touted freshman LaceDarius Dunn, a two-time Louisiana high school player of the year. Cornhuskers searching for stability following AD firing Nebraska athletic director Steve Pederson hired Doc Sadler in August 2006 to coach the Cornhuskers. On Monday, Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman fired Pederson and the next day named Hall of Fame football coach Tom Osborne the interim athletic director. It is an uneasy time in Nebraska. "in college athletics, I don't think any of us need to be very comfortable," Sadler said. "There is always change. Obviously, Chancellor Perlman thought that was what the university needed at this time and made that change. Tom is definitely the face of Nebraska." Sadler said he had not talked to Osbome since taking the job, but he had talked to Pederson a couple of times. "Steve is a very upbeat person," Sadler said. "He's concerned about his family and how they'll handle things, but Steve will be fine." So is Sadler uncomfortable about the guy who hired him being fired? "I don't think so" "Sadler said. "They have, obviously, hired somebody that knows the lay of the land pretty good up there. I think he can help it." There is probably not anybody who cares more about it than Tom, so that can be nothing but a positive." Bzdelik settles in, prepares for job of coaching Colorado Jeff Bzdelik, the new Colorado coach, spent the previous two years as coach at Air Force Academy and was head coach of the Denver Nuggets from 2002-04. "I haven't really bounced around," Bzddelik said. "I've stayed in the same house, just changed direction on I-25. I love the state of Colorado, I didn't want to move my family and this opportunity presented itself and I'm still in the same home. My son's a freshman at CU, and my daughter is still in her same high school. My wife loves where we live and I do, too. Hopefully, I can stay there for a long time, but of course to do that you need to win names." Bzdelik replaces Ricardo Patton, who was Colorado's coach for the past 12 seasons. Colorado returns four starters, including senior Robry Rocket, who averaged 17.3 points last season, from a team that finished last in the conference with a 3-13 record. "I have both eyes open," Bzdelik said. "I understand we're looking up at the league."

Griffin enters the season as the most highly anticipated newcomer in recent memory. He averaged 26.8 points, 15.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 2.9 blocked shots and 1.6 steals per game last season, and led Oklahoma Christian School to its fourth consecutive state championship. Blake will be rejoining his brother Taylor, and said that was one of the biggest factors in his decision to come to Oklahoma. "I haven't [played with Taylor] in two years, so I forgot how fun it is," Blake said. "We know each other because we have been playing basketball with each other for so long. I am really looking forward to playing more games with him out there with me." Blake also said he had already become comfortable with Capel, and that he enjoyed playing for a young coach. "I feel like he understands how we feel and what we are going through," Blake said. "He definitely knows what it is going to take to win. He can relate to us so much better than an older coach would be able to." Capel said he was confident his team would improve this season. "I know our team so much better this year than I did last year." Capel said. "Last year, heading into our first practice, I was just trying to figure everyone out. I was trying to learn everyone, trying to learn their games" Although the Sooners finished seventh in the Big 12 Conference last season, they have not lost much of their firepower. The team returns seven letter-winners, as well as 61 percent of its scoring, 70 percent of its rebounding and 66 percent of its assists from last season. While Capel believes this year's team will be better, he is also quick to point out that it has some significant problems. In particular, he said the team needed to focus on increasing its scoring. “[Last year] we would go through lulls, just about every game and especially our last six or seven games, where we couldn't score,” Capel said. “In order to win games, you have to put the ball in the basket, and that's what we struggled with." The annual Big 12 preseason coaches' poll has the Sooners tied with Missouri for fifth place (66 points) in the conference, b it significantly behind fourth-place Kansas State (91 points). Capel said that in order to see significant improvement this year, the Sooners would have to maintain consistency and play hard through the end of the season. "I don't think it's any coincidence that down the stretch is when some of our guys started to struggle," Capel said. "I think we got tired. I think we got mentally fatigued also. Hopefully all our guys will be better because of the experience last season."

SEASON BJ PREVIEW BU Baylor coach lifts program out of turmoil with recruiting BY WILL PARCHMAN THE BAYLOR LARIAT Scott Drew strides into the media room like any other day, his infectious smile lighting the room, his upbeat tempo adding a dimension of frivolity to what is otherwise a very serious business. Instead of talking basketball, the Baylor head coach's immediate conversation turns to news, football, anything but the macabre. To know Drew is to know a man who wouldn't be caught doing anything else. In a scant four years, he has built a men's basketball program almost any D-I coach would be proud to call his own. He's managed to grow thick trees through the narrow cracks of what was once a dirty, corrupt pavement. "The program was basically underwater, and a lot of people wouldn't have taken the school into consideration because of that," said junior guard Curtis Jerrells. "I think guys are coming in here and seeing that we haven't really done anything in the winning column, but we've got good guys here. They're willing to leave some of the big schools behind and pick a school like Baylor and help us come up." Drew's emphasis on building Baylor's burgeoning men's basketball program from the inside out with "high-character guys," as he often calls them, is giving way to one of the most talented teams in the Big 12. How did this happen? How did Drew make a mountain out of a Texas-sized crater? Most of the answers lie in his recruiting successes. The verbal commitment last weekend of Anthony Jones, potentially the highest-rated recruit ever to step on campus during Drew's tenure, adds to the mystique of the program Drew is creating almost from the ground up. "We're pretty excited." Jerrrell said. "A lot of people didn't think he would come here, but he enjoyed his stay, really liked the guys,liked the coaches. When people come up,we make them feel at home.I think that he's comfortable with us, and he really liked us."

Rogers, a new junior, was part of Baylor coach Scott Drew's important 2005 recruiting class. 10 Jones, a 6-foot-9 senior forward from Houston Yates High School, is currently Rivals.com's No. 46 player in the class of 2008 and the eight-best small forward. A four-star prospect, Jones verbally de-committed from Texas & M University in the spring. Jerrells can understand Jones' decision to choose Baylor even if many outsiders can't. Once a sought-after recruit himself, Jerrells, from Austin, Texas, was a piece of Drew's foundational recruiting class in 2005. Drew had just five scholarship players the year before, and Jerrells jumped on an opportunity to play for an upbeat coach he saw doing big things. "That class really got our name out across the state that they're not only great players but high-character players." Drew said. "They covered three major areas, and lot of people across the state raised some eyebrows." Jerrells, Rogers and Dugat represent three of the biggest recruiting hotbeds in the state, giving Drew a distinct advantage when it comes to spreading the word about Baylor's program. Alongside jerrrells in that class was Dallas-area forward Kevin Rogers and Houston-area guard Henry Dugat. Drew said that class helped the program in more ways than one. "Players recruit players," Drew said. "Once you have a good player come into your program, that attracts the next player. You start with the foundation, and the more and more players you get, the more you can build." If jerrells, Rogers and Dugat represent Drew's foundation, the rest of his house is beginning to resemble a KU PIEROGUYS59 Pierogies "We're Our Own Food Group" WWW.PIEROGUYS.COM Pierogies are the NEW Food Tradition for Kansas Basketball!

There is little question that talent-wise, the Bears are as good as they've been in a long time. There is even talk that Baylor might have the best collection of guards in the entire conference. Guard Aaron Bruce, the team's lone senior starter, was the best freshman scoreer in the country three years ago. Drew's final frontier, though, seems to be actually winning games. Baylor has finished next to last in the Big 12 the last two years despite the talent Drew has gathered. If he can get over that hump, the method to Drew's highly controlled madness could become crystal clear much sooner than nearly anyone anticipated when he arrived. "I feel like I came to this school because I wanted to be a part of something good, something new," Jerrells said. "It's a challenge, and we're all ready for it, and some of the other guys we've got who have committed are thinking the same thing." Edited by Matt Erickson --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2007 11C BASKETBALL PREVIEW SEASON PREVIEW KANSAS 4 Red Raiders looking to avoid mediocrity BY ADAM COLEMAN The Daily Toreador KANSAN FILE PHOTO The Texas Tech Red Raiders are coming off a season headlined by Bob Knight's 880th career victory, making him the winningest coach in men's basketball history. Alongside the milestone, Tech (21-13, 9-7 in Big 12) earned Andy Shaw tries to move past Sherron Collins in the Red Raids victory against KU last season in Lubbock, Texas. The Red Raiders provided coach Bob Knight his 880th career victory. The Red Raiders return eight players this season but lose Jarrus Jackson's 19.9 points per game. Senior Martin Zeno, who averaged 16.6 points per game in 2006-07, moves to guard from forward to try to replace Jackson. Zeno returns with fellow senior guard Charlie Burgess who averaged nine points and four rebounds per game. a berth in the NCAA Tournament, but even Knight's coaching couldn't prevent a first-round exit, as Boston College handed them an 84-75 loss. Other players not returning for the 2007-2008 season include Darry Dora and Tanner Ogden. The Red Raiders add three freshmen to the roster in forwards Mike Singletary and D'walyn Roberts as well as guard John Roberson. Singletay was the No. 5 high school player in the state of Texas heading into his freshman season at Tech, while Roberson ranked No. 6 and Roberts, No. 11. In 2006, the Red Raiders averaged 71.7 points per game while allowing 69.1 points. Tech shot 45 percent from the field — sixth in the Big 12 Conference — and 41 percent from three-point range, fourth in Big 12. The Red Raiders were eighth in the conference in scoring offense and seventh in scoring defense. The team supplemented its average stats with the best free throw percentage in the big 12 at 78 percent and the best turnover margin at 3.12. Heading into the 2007-08 season, Zeno is an All-Big 12 Preseason Honorable Mention. The Red Raiders kick off their season against UC Riverside Nov. 10 in Lubbock, Texas. SEASON PREVIEW ckson OSU team young and talented —Edited by Jeff Briscoe 8 BY CARSON CUNNINGHAM Daily O'Colly The 2007 edition of Oklahoma State basketball is an enigma. The Cowbirds lost 43 points per game and 15.8 rebounds per game with the graduation of forwards Mario Boggan and David Monds and JamesOn Curry forgoing his senior season to play for the Chicago Bulls. With the attrition, OSU will be young and inexperienced but talented. OSU will field a team comprised of seven newcomers. Headlining the group is freshman guard James Anderson. Anderson comes to Stillwater, Okla., highly touted. The Junction City, Ark., native was a McDonald's All-American and is already earning rave reviews from teammates. "The they were great players but we still got guys like Terrel Harris, Marcus Dove who's becoming a better shooter," said freshman guard Marshall Moses. "We've got guys that can put points up on the board, but more importantly this is a different team. We don't have JamesOn Curry anymore so we've got to be better defensively and get up and down the floor more." Anderson and Moses are joined by forwards Martavius Adams, Anthony Brown and Ibrahimba Thomas as well as guards Brad Garnett and Nick Sidokoris. With the absence of Curry and Boggan, returning players will look to shoulder the score load. Junior guard Terrel Harris will fill Curry's shoes at shooting guard. Although Harris struggled at times last season, he had one of the best improvements in the Big 12 Conference last season in terms of scoring, improving his average by 5.5 points per game. Harris said he was ready to fill Curry's role on the team. "I watch film on JO (Curry), what they did to him, because they might try to double team me," Harris said. "They might run at me a lot so we've been working on pump fakes and stuff like that and get to the basket and get free throws." Harris said the team would look to get transition points in the absence of true scorers. "It ittms out playing defense, that's what helps me a lot, try to get more points — off defense. The offense will come, the offense will be there." Senior Marcus Dove is widely considered one of the best defensive players in the country, but he's making strides on the offensive end too. Dove led the team in scoring at Friday's annual homecoming scrimmage. The Big 12 coaches poll ranked the Cowboys seventh in the Big 12, but the players aren't letting the ranking affect them. "It's not really a big deal," Harris said. "That's how they feel. We did fall off last year, but we can't worry about that. We just play like we know we're capable of playing. We've got a totally different team so it really doesn't even matter." — Edited by Jeff Briscoe SEASON PREVIEW Longhorns recruit big freshman class for new season to replace Kevin Durant BY TRAVIS ROBINETT trobinett@kansan.com What's the biggest difference in Texas basketball from 2006 to 2007? Surprisingly, it may not be Kevin Durant, the freshman phenom whom Texas lost to the NBA draft. Though Durant left big sneakers to fill — 25.8 points a game to be exact — this year's crop of Longhorns are confident that they'll grow into them. "K.D. was a big part of our offense," junior guard A.J. Abrams said, "but we want to show people we've got players that can score just like he did, and we can play even better." OK, A.J., but even if Texas can't account for Durant's absence on offense, it's getting back to the old-school Rick Barnes style of basketball. That means a scrappy defense and an emphasis on rebounding. Instead of shooting its opponents out of the building and playing poor zone defense in order to keep Durant out of foul trouble, Texas could slow games down and face up man-to-man much more often. "We haven't been a very good defensive team the last couple of years," coach Barnes said. Helping the Longhorns reach their goal is a physical freshman class, three of whom are at least 6-foot-7 and 230 pounds. Gary Johnson, a 6-7, 246-pound forward from Houston, is a near-lock for the starting lineup, according to Athlon's 2007 basketball preview edition, and Dogus Balbay, a point guard from Istanbul, Turkey, is expected to back up sophomore starting point guard D.J. Augustine. "They're going to help in the areas we've talked about," Barnes said. "Those guys are going to help us be better defensively. They're going to help us rebound better." If the freshmen turn out to be key contributors to a tournament run, Texas will have truly established a consistently competitive program. The coaches picked Texas to finish second in the conference, one spot behind Kansas. "I would assume the same people that are picking us No. 2 are the same people that picked the football poll this year, and that's not very smart," Barnes said. "I guess it's a compliment to our program." With only two seniors combining for 1.9 points per game in their junior campaign, Texas' two biggest contributors in leadership should be Abrams and Augustine, who combined for 29.9 points per game last season. Edited by Jeff Briscoe That's just a smidgen above Durant's average, but still nothing to scold. Texas is an established program and Barnes is an established coach with a Final Four appearance under his belt. Even though the Longhorns are young in age and game experience, there's no doubt they could be a roadblock to all the teams they play.

Hoskins was Kansas State's second-leading scorer last year with 14.5 points per game. The Canton, Mich., native also helped KState to its first postseason appearance since 1998-99, while being named to the coaches' All-Big 12 second team. didn't register a vote. But most of the hype coming out of Manhattan this preseason has surrounded incoming freshman and McDonald's All-American Michael Beasley and Bill Walker, who returns after a season-ending knee injury. Both Beasley and Walker earned honorable mention in the coaches' preseason All-Big 12 team, while Haskins "A lot of the coaches in the Big 12 had no votes for me to be All-Big 12, and for me being a player that was last year All-Big 12 second team, I feel like I have a lot to prove," Hoskins said. Despite the preseason slight from the coaches, Hoskins will have to play a significant leadership role for a Kansas State team trying to snap two streaks this season. Kansas State hasn't reached the NCAA tournament since 1995-96 and hasn't defeated Kansas at Bramlage Coliseum since 1983. Former coach Bob Huggins led Kansas State to a 23-12 record and a 10-6 record in the Big 12. But Kansas State was left out of the NCAA tournament and had to settle for the Big 12. Now Huggins is gone, and first-year coach Frank Martin takes over for his mentor. Last year's senior class featured three talented players in guard/forward Carter Martin and guards Lance Harris and Akeem Wright. Those three accounted for 34 points per game last season. This year's Kansas State squad is talented but young. Beasley might be the most talented player Kansas State has had since former NBA All-Star Mitch Ritchmond suited up for the Wildcats. He will be expected to score, rebound and handle enormous expectations. Meanwhile, Walker, a 6-16 forward from Huntington, WVa., returns for his second season in Manhattan, but retains his freshman eligibility. Walker was granted a medical red-shirt after tearing his ACL in his sixth game last season. 6-foot-9 forward Ron Anderson, 6-foot-10 forward Fred Brown and 6-foot-1 guard Jacob Pullen join Beasley and Walker in the crowded freshman class. "I'm going to have to start doing like football coaches do, like put names on their foreheads." Martin said. "We've got so many first-year guys it's hard to remember them every day." Martin will have to lean on Hoskins and his other senior veterans for leadership as his freshman class develops. Senior guards Clent Stewart and Blake Young both played nearly 20 minutes per game last year, and James Franklin is a walk-on guard who played high school basketball with Kansas junior center Matt Kleinmann at Blue Valley West High School in Overland Park. Martin said Hoskins, Stewart and Young have been crucial in the development of the freshmen. "All of our new guys would have no chance to succeed in the Big 12 if LINCOLN 3 SIAS STAM O'Reilly AUTO PARTS Kansas State guard Blake Young dribbles past Kansas guard Russell Robinson in a game last year. Young, along with the Wildcats' other seniors, will provide leadership as the team's talented freshmen develop. we didn't have guys like those three to show them the way'. Martin said. So while the attention and the preseason accolades go to Beasley and Walker, Kansas State's most important player could be Hoskins. Martin said he knew how crucial Hoskins would be this season. "David was a second-team all-conference player last year. You don't become that unless you have some substance to back it up." Martin said. — Edited by Matt Erickson WE SUCCEED THE HAWKS WHEN... 1959-1960 They won the first ever Division Championship. 1951-1952 They became National Champions.

The law could be Tigers' biggest obstacle BY MIKE BUSHNELL THE MANEATER COLUMBIA, Mo. — To paraphrase Winston Churchill, forecasting how Missouri will do is a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, with a side of felony battery and misdemeanor assault thrown in. The Tigers went 18-12 last year, and coach Mike Anderson has never missed the NCAA Tournament in his second year anywhere he has gone, either as an assistant or head coach. But Missouri was hurt badly when Kalen Grimes was charged this past summer with felony assault for allegedly hitting a man in the face Missouri returns nearly every major player from that team. Add in 6-foot-8 transfer DeMarre Carroll, and the Tigers should have had the pieces to make a run to the NCAA Tournament. with the butt of a shotgun outside a Dairy Queen in suburban St. Louis. Grimes, naturally, was kicked off the team, although he still takes classes here in Columbia. And just last week, 6 foot-7 senior forward Darryl Butterfield was charged with third-degree assault for allegedly hitting his ex-girlfriend in the face. He has been suspended, but if Anderson's no-tolerance policy really is no-tolerance, then he should be gone as well. The loss of Grimes and maybe Butterfield will leave the Tigers in deep trouble inside. The Tigers already play small ball, but they need some semblance of size inside to compete with guys like Texas A&M forward Joseph Jones and Kansas center Sasha Kaun. The Tigers began to break down towards the end of last season because their defensive struggles caught up to them. They let Baylor, of all teams, score 97 points against them in the Big 12 Tournament, which is not a good sign. But Anderson can coach, and he has a group of players who can turn any game into a track meet. Senior guard Stef昂 Hannah led the Tigers with 15.4 points per game, and there's no reason why, with a season in this system under his belt, he can't be even more explosive. Sophomore guard Keon Lawrence played great during this summer's Jersey Shore League in Belmar, N.J., and should have another solid year. He finished the season scoring in double figures in eight straight games, and he is also a strong rebounder at the two-guard spot. Junior forward Matt Lawrence will also need to continue his rapid improvement. He went from 1.5 points per game in 2005-06 to 11.2 last season. Obviously, nobody expects him to improve by 10 more points this season, but he has a great outside shot, and when it's on, Missouri is very dangerous. But without any major rebounding options outside of Carroll, the Tigers could break down. Missouri has to hope the charge against Butterfield is untrue, or the team could $b^{2}$ in a lot of trouble come Big 12 play. The Tigers have a shot at making the NCAA tournament this year if the top eight players on this team — all of which, except Grimes, return — continue their rapid ascension from last year and also don't burn themselves out the way they did last February. As long as they stay out of jail. — Edited by Matt Erickson TUESDAY OCT. 30TH YOUR VERY OWN Men's Basketball Poster and Schedule H Super Sweet and Awesomely Designed (Get your copy of The Kansan Tuesday, October 30th and you'll get a LIMITED EDITION.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2007 BASKETBALL PREVIEW 13C SEASON PREVIEW McDermott works to return Cyclones to past glory INDIAN STATE BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Iowa State basketball used to mean something in the state of Iowa. Names like Fred Hoiberg, Kelvin Cato, and Marcus Fizer are hallowed in Ames, Iowa. Former head coach Tim Floyd turned Iowa State into a Big 12 conference power, and his successor, Larry Eustachy, led Iowa State to back-to-back Big 12 regular season titles in 1999-2000 and 2000-01. Now those years like ancient history in Ames, Iowa. The Cyclones have only one winning record in the Big 12 since their last league title - Iowa State finished 9-7 in 2004-05. Now the hopes of Cyclone country rest on the shoulders of one man: coach Greg McDermott. A self-proclaimed "Farm boy from Cascade, Iowa" McDermott made a name for himself as the head coach at the University of Northern Iowa. McDermott led the Panthers to three straight NCAA tournament appearances from 2004-2006. when Iowa State fired former头 Coach Wayne Morgan at the end of the 2005-06 season, McDermott was the ideal choice for the Cyclones. McDermott led Iowa State to a 15-16 record and a 6-10 mark in the Big 12 last season. Now entering year two of the McDermott era, the man hired to restore Iowa State's basketball glory is hoping to build on his first year. "I good to start year two, because that means year one is over," Mermott said. "Our chemistry is 100 percent better than a year ago. Our work ethic is better." The guys really seem to like each other." Unfortunately for Iowa State, one of the reasons for the improved chemistry could also lead to a drop in productivity on the court. IOWA state's leading scorer in 2006-07, guard Mike Taylor, was dismissed from the team in the offseason. Taylor averaged 16.0 points per game and 4. 5 assists last season. Iowa State will have to find a way to make up for Taylor's offensive production. A good place to start might be sophomore forward Wesley Johnson. The Corsicana, Texas, native averaged 12.3 points per game and 7.9 rebounds per game, and his 11 double-doubles were second in the Big 12 to Texas Kevin Durant. McDermott said he has already seen a change in Johnson's demeanor this season. "For a sophomore to step up in the way that he has and assume a leadership role on our team has been very impressive," McDermott said. Iowa State also adds 10 newcomers to the team this season. McDermott said it was a necessity for Iowa to become bigger and stronger in the offseason. Freshman forward Craig Brackins was a top-20 player coming out of Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, and he will be expected to contribute right away. Senior center Jiri Hubalek averaged 11.2 points per game as a junior, and he also returns. Guard Sean Haluska, a transfer from Indian Hills Junior College, is also a familiar name. Haluska's older brother, Adam, was the leading scorer in the Big 10 last season at Iowa. Freshman guards Diante Garrett and Marcus Brister are also both likely to see immediate playing time with the departure of Taylor. So Iowa State fans will see plenty of new faces on the court, and the pressure will be on McDermott to mix and match and find a winning combination. "I think we'll be able to use a lot of combinations early, get a lot of different players on the floor, to find out who is going to best click together," McDermott said. Edited by Matt Erickson Buffs depend on new coach BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Jeff Bzdelik and Richard Roby don't seem like they would have a lot in common. Bzdelik is a 54-year-old journeyman coach from Mount Prospect, Ill. Roby is a 22-year-old college senior from San Bernadino, Calif. But together, Bzdelik and Roby will try to rebuild the Colorado basketball program — a program that has been to only two NCAA tournaments since 1970. "I excited about the challenge that awaits us!" Bzdelk said. "I understand it's a great challenge. It's a great league filled with great coaches, great tradition, great talent, and I have both eyes wide open." Colorado finished 7-20 and 3-13 in the Big 12 conference in 2006-07. Former coach Ricardo Patton, who spent 12 years at Colorado, spent last season as a lame-duck coach after announcing before the season that it would be his last year at Colorado. Enter Bzdelik, who comes to Colorado with 29 years of coaching experience. Bzdelik spent the last two seasons at Air Force, where he led the Falcons to a 50-16 record, one NCAA tournament appearance and one NIT appearance. Before Air Force, Bzdelik spent two and a half seasons as head coach of the NBA's Denver Nuggets. After going 17-65 in Bzdelik first season, the Nuggets finished a 43-39 in 2003-04 — the sixth-best one-season turnaround in NBA history. But star player Carmelo Anthony got hurt early in the next season, and Bzdelik was fired after the Nuggets started 13-15. For Bzdelik, the firing was sudden. "We're doing pretty well until Carmelo and Kenyon [Martin] and a couple of guys got hurt and you lose a couple of games and you're gone" Bazelik said. So while Bzdelki is ready to prove himself capable of leading Colorado to the top half of the Big 12, Roby is attempting to prove himself all over again. Roby came to Colorado in 2004-05 as one of the most decorated recruits in Colorado history. The younger halfbrother of NBA star Kenyon Martin, he was supposed to lead Colorado to a basketball renaissance. But after averaging 16 points per game as a freshman and being named to the All-Big 12 first team as a sophomore, Roby struggled as a junior. Roby averaged 17.3 points per game but struggled from the field, shooting only 38.3 percent from the floor and 26.8 percent from three-point range. "I don't think it was a case of his skill, not being able to shoot the ball well". Bdzelik said. "It was the quality of shot that he took." Bzdelik said that he was challenging Roby on and off the court to be the man and player he needed to be. Sophomore guard Xavier Silas will help take off the of offensive burden off Roby. Silas averaged 12 points per game as a freshman last season. Senior guard Marcus Hall also returns to the lineup after missing last season because of academic problems. Junior forward Jeremy Jackson-Wilson and sophomore forward Jeremy Williams, who each averaged more than 20 minutes per game last year, will see extensive time in the Colorado front court. But in the end, it will come down to Bzdelik and Roby, two driven men trying to make up for past failings. "You need to have an environment conducive to winning." Bzdelik said. "On the court there has to be a nonnonsense approach. So all of these kinds of things are just a cultural change that needs to take place for us to have a chance to compete." Edited by Matt Erickson N SEASON PREVIEW BY RUSTIN DODD Maric must excel for Huskers to succeed rdodd@kansan.com Doc Sadler was probably the last person in the world who wanted the Nebraska football team to falter this season. Sadler is in his second season as the basketball coach at Nebraska, and if his Cornhuskers fail to equal their 2006-07 win total — they went 17-14 and 6-10 in the Big 12 — it will be another reminder to Nebraska fans of the low state of its two main men's sports. But for Sadler, it's Marie's work Luckily for Sadler, Nebraska has Aleks Maric, a 6-foot-11 senior, who is poised to ensure that Nebraska has its most successful season since 1997-98 — the last time Nebraska made the NCAA tournament. Maric, a Sydney, Australia, native averaged 18.5 points per game and 8.7 rebounds per game last season and also showed the ability to dominate games. In one three-game span last season, Maric went for 41, 31 and 36 points against Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State, respectively. ethic that makes him one of the favorites for Big 12 player of the year. "He's not just a great basketball player, but he's as a hard worker as we've got in our program," Sadler said. "When your best player is a guy that is your hardest worker, then I think you have a chance to have some success, and I think that's what we've got in Aleks." Nebraska returns five other players and brings in eight newcomers in addition to Maric. Sophomore guard Ryan Anderson averaged 10.1 points per game during his freshman season, while fellow sophomore guards Sek Henry and Jay-R Strowbridge both played significant minutes last season. Sophomore forward Chris Balham also returns to provide depth in frontcourt. Balham is a Kansas City, Kan., native and played his high school ball at Shawne Mission West in Overland Park. The real test for the Cornhuskers will be how well they can utilize their newcomers. "We've got eight new players," Sadler said. "Anybody that follows college basketball, especially at this level, knows that that's going to be a challenge in itself" Nebraska lost two-year starting point guard Charles Richardson to graduation, so Sadler will rely on two freshmen at that position. Cookie Miller and Brandon Richardson will see immediate playing time. In the frontcourt, two transfers could bolster Nebraska. Junior Shang Ping is a 6-10 forward from Illinois Central Community College and sophomore Alex Chapman is a 6-9 forward from Sheridan Junior College in Wyoming. "I couldn't be more pleased with the effort, and for the most part, talent that these guys have brought into the program," Sadler said. But it will be up to Maric to lead the Cornhuskers. And if Maric can live up to expectations, it might be just enough for Nebraska fans to forget about the failures of their football team — for a while, anyway. Edited by Tara Smith SEASON ATM PREVIEW A&M's returners need to replace Acie Law BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Texas A&M senior forward Joseph Jones doesn't want to hear anything about lower expectations. Even though All-Big 12 guard Ace Law is now playing for the Atlanta Hawks and former head coach Billy Gillispie left for Kentucky, Jones thinks this year's Aggies team could be even better than last year, a team that went 27-7 last season and reached the Sweet 16. "Ace's a great player; it's hard to replace him. But we got a lot of good guys coming in, a good core coming back, and we might be even better this year," Jones said. "We just got to work a little harder." Texas A&M reached for Wichita State coach Mark Turgeon to replace Gillispie. Turgeon, a former player and assistant coach at Kansas, takes over a team that lost Law and forward Antanas Kavaliauskas to graduation. But a load of talent is still left in College Station, Texas, and it's up to Turgeon to keep building on what Gillaspie started, Turgonon has made a positive impression on his best player. "Coach Turgeon's a great guy. He's cool, a player's coach, and a great coach on the floor," Jones said. Jones, a coaches' preseason firstteam All-Big 12 selection, leads a group of four returning players who averaged at least 17 minutes per game last season. Junior guard Josh Carter averaged 11.8 points per game, while senior guard Dominique Kirk chipped in 7.2 points per game for the Aggies. Sophomore guard Donald Sloan rounds out the returning foursome. But Texas A&M's biggest weapon might be freshman DeAndre Jordan. Jordan, a 7-foot freshman center from Houston, decided to attend Texas A&M when Gillispie was still the coach, but honored his commitment when Turgeon replaced him. Turgeon said Sloan and Kirk would combine to replace Law at the point. "I've seen flashes of just a great player. He's long, athletic. He can score. He can defend," Jones said. Turgeon said Jordan was one of the most talented players he has seen, but he hoped expectations for his freshman were tempered. "He's going to have a tremendous year for us and a great career. But people have to be patient with him out there and understand that he's been so highly talked of, and it's the biggest recruit Texas A&M has had in a long time," Turgon said. "There's a lot of pressure on him." Jones thinks that Jordan can contribute right away. The core is in place in College Station for Texas A&M to improve on last season, but the loss of Law still hangs over the program. "The polls are coming out and the expectations are really high in our program, which is what we want," Turgeon said. "But we did lose some really good players. We have some young players that have to step up." Edited by Tara Smith Making sure you make it to the game Since 1994 LAWRENCE AUTOMOTIVE DIAGNOSTICS INC.

That is the question Bill Self and Kansas will have to keep ing until the junior All- Ameri can returns. The better KU question might be would Kansas still be the favorite in the Big 12 if Rush had stayed in the NBA draft? With guards senior Russell Robinson, junior Mario Chalmers and sophomore Sherron Collins combining for 28.7 points per game in 2006-07, and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur poised for a season long coming-out party, Kansas is the runaway favorite to win its fourth consecutive Big 12 title, and among the favorites to cut down the nets at the Final Four in San Antonio. Coach Speak — "Obviously I have no friends in this league," Kansas coach Bill Self said, referring to the fact that 10 out of 12 Big 12 coaches picked Kansas to win the league. Prediction—1st Texas A&M 2006-07 (Big 12) — 27-7 (13-3) Former All-Big 12 guard Acie Law is now playing for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, and last season's coach Billy Gillispie left for Kentucky. Regard- less, former Wichita State ATM and current Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon has plenty of talent to work with in his first season in College Station, Texas. Senior forward Joseph Jones is a pre-season first-team All-Big 12 selection by the coaches, and Jones will get some much needed help in the frontcourt from highly touted freshman DeAndre Jordan. Junior Josh Carter and senior Dominique Kirk are two underated guards who will help compensate for the loss of Law Coach Speak — "I spent a lot of years at the University of Kansas, and we had a lot of good players, and obviously Danny Manning being one of them. [Jordan] has the most talent I've ever seen, but it's really raw talent," Texas A&M head coach Mark Turgeon said about his freshman DeAndre Jordan. Prediction — 2nd Texas 2006-07 (Big 12) - 25-10 (12-4) Sophomore guard DJ. Augustin has already done something this year that 2006-07 Big 12 player of the year, Kevin Durant, couldn't do last season. Augustin was named Big 12 pre-season player of the year by the head coaches. Augustin will have to improve on his 2006-07 totals of 14.4 points per game and 6.7 assists per game to make up for the loss of Durant to the NBA. But Augustin has help from junior guard A.J. Abrams and sophomore forward Damion James. Coach speak — "I would assume the same people that are picking us No. 2 are the same people that picked the football poll this year, and that's not very smart," Texas coach Rick Barnes said about his team being picked to finish second in the Big 12 by the coaches. Prediction - 3rd Kansas State 2006-07 (Big 12) - 23-12 (10-6) Bob Huggins is out; former assistant coach Frank Martin is in. Informer All-Big 12 performer Cartier Martin is out; fresh- man and McDonald's All-American Michael Beasley is in. Freshman forward Bill Walker also returns, retaining his freshman status thanks to a medical red-shirt. Walker tore his A.C.L. after playing in six games last year. Add W those two to senior forward David Hoskins, who is consistently one of the most underrated players in the league, and K-State has a talented triumvirate that can lead the Wildcats to its first NCAA tournament berth since 1995-96. Coach speak – "I don't know about you guys, but when I was 18 I had bad days. He's going to have a bad day. That's just reality and human nature, and it's our job as coaches and teammates to make him realize that that's okay", K-State head coach Frank Martin said about the expectations of freshman Michael Beasley. Missouri 2006-07 - 18-12 (7-9) Prediction - 4th Senior guard Steffon Hannah, last season's Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, returns to lead the Tigers Dragon during coach Mike Anderson's second season. Missouri has another talented newcomer. Junior DeMarre Carroll, a transfer from Vanderbilt and Anderson's nephew, was selected preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year by the coaches. Last year it was a surprise Missouri finished sixth in the Big 12, but with the Tigers returning almost 88 percent of its offense, a top-six finish should be expected this season. But frontcourt depth could be a problem after Anderson dismissed senior Kalen Grimes from the team after Grimes off-the-court legal trouble. coach speak — "And so to be honest with you, we're going to be faster this year. I want to take the tempo up another level." Missouri coach Mike Anderson said about his team becoming more comfortable with his style of play. Prediction 5th Baylor 2006-07 (Big 12) — 15-16 (4-12) Baylor — yeah Baylor — is poised to jump into the top half of the Big 12 as coach Scott Drew features the most talented line-up of his short tenure. Senior guard Aaron Bruce, who flirted with the NBA Draft, is back, along with junior guard Curtis Jerrells and junior forward Kevin Rogers. Freshman LaceDarius Dunn gives Baylor depth and size in the BU in Monroe, La. But jumping from 4-12 last season to the top half of the Big 12 could prove to be too tough for the Bears, especially in the ultra-competitive Big 12 south. Coach speak — "I think preseason polls are always preseason polls. Where you finish is the important thing. If you're picked low, it can give you motivation, and we feel this year that we have the chance and potential to be a very good team." Baylor coach Scott Drew said about being picked to finish ninth in the Big 12 by the coaches. Prediction 6th Oklahoma State 2006-07 (Big 12) - 22-13 (6-10) capable returnees and one uber-talented fresh The Cowboys lost Mario Bogan and early-entry JamesOn Curry to the NBA Draft, but coach Sean Sutton has a cast of Oklahoma State man. Five Cowboys return who played at least 16 minutes per game in 2006-07, including sophomore guard Obi Muonelo, junior guard Terrel Harris, and junior guard Byron Eaton. But the most exciting player on the roster might be freshman forward James Anderson, a McDonald's All-American who averaged more than 38 points per game in high school. It will be a crucial year for Sutton to silence his critics. Oklahoma State faltered late last season after a 15-1 start, and missed the NCAA tournament. Coach speak — "So, I think Coach speak — "So, I think always playing a tournament in Kansas City is a great venue. It's always been a lot of fun.

Oklahoma State head coach Sean Sutton said about playing the Big 12 basketball tournament at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. Prediction- 7th Nebraska 2006-07 (Big 12) — 17-14 (6-10) Nebraska coach Doc Sadler was an assistant to former Texas A&M and current Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie at UTEP in 2003-04. Now N Coach speak — "When you have the opportunity to coach someone like this, you better enjoy it, because you won't get that opportunity very many times in your coaching career," Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said about coaching senior forward Aleks Maric. Prediction — 8th Gillispie did at Texas &M; Turn a Big 12 also-ran into a Big 12 contender. Luckily for Sadler, Nebraska boasts what might be the best forward in the Big 12 in senior Aleks Maric. Maric, an Australian who averaged 18.5 points per game last season, leads a team that features nine new players. It will be tough for Nebraska to improve on its 6-10 league record last year, but the Sadler-Maric duo might be more than capable. Oklahoma 2006-07 (Big 12) — 16-15 (6-10) Second-year coach Jeff Capel has a task in duplicating what former coach Kelvin Sampson OU foot-10 McDonald's All-American from Oklahoma City will immediately become the Sooners most talented player. Senior center Longar Longar, who averaged 10.4 points per game last season, returns, as does Griffin's older brother, Taylor, a junior. Capel has a young nucleus to build on, but it could be a year of growing pains for Oklahoma. Coach speak — "We have to be able to score. We have to be able to put the ball in the basket. That's where we really struggled last year," Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel said. Prediction — 9th Texas Tech 2006-07 (Big 12) — 21-13 (9-7) Bobby Knight's squad loses guard Jarrius Jackson, the sec and reading scorer in school history, to graduation. That means it's time for Knight to mold T together another crew of un- heralded recruits and scrappyglue guys, Knight certainly has the coaching chops to lead this team to a successful season, but except for senior guard Martin Zeno, there are too many unfamiliar faces and unknowns to expect much out of the Red Raiders this season. Coach Speak — "When you sign a kid, you think he can play. Now you're not always right. But somebody says to me, 'Well, you signed Billy Jones, do you think he can play? What the hell do you think we signed him for? We didn't sign him to be a cheer-leader," Texas Tech head coach Bob Knight said about his new recruiting class. Prediction 10th Colorado 2006-07 — 7-20 (3-13) Senior swingman Richard Roby probably made a mistake by not leaving for the NBA after his sophomore season. His junior season was a rocky affair that saw the Bufa faoles finish last in the Big OU 12, and Roby struggled, shooting only 38 percent from the field. Roby now has one more year to rectify a once promising career, and he has a new head coach as well. Former Denver Nuggets and Air Force head coach Jeff Bdzelik replaces Ricardo Patton, who was the longest tenured coach in the Big 12. Bdzelik was 50-16 in two seasons at Air Force. So it's the snake-bitten veteran player paired with a new, but seasoned head coach. Expect Colorado to show signs of brilliance, but ultimately be very inconsistent. Coach speak — "It's been huge. I can't speak about recruiting, specifically, but we have several commitments right now," Colorado coach Jeff Bzdelik said about using his NBA connections for recruiting. Prediction—11th Iowa State 2006-07 (Big 12) - 15-16 (6-10) Head coach Greg McDermott continues to try to build the Cyclones back into what they once were: Relevant. Last year's leading guard Mike Taylor, was booted off the team because of disciplinary problems. Iowa State CYCLAMS but senior center Jiri Hubalek and sophomore forward Wesley Johnson return to anchor the front-court. McDermott also welcomes 10 new players into the fold. Freshman forward Craig Brackins will be counted on to contribute right away. But if Brackins and the rest of the newcomers don't develop quickly, it could be a long season in Ames, Iowa. Coach speak — "I told my staff many times, we just weren't built to play in the Big 12 a year ago. So we tried to address that in recruiting." Iowa State coach Greg McDermott said about his team's struggles in his first year. Prediction—12th Edited by Chris Beattie Good Luck Hawks!

A smaller band travels with the men's basketball team throughout the season, including trips during the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Band adds to atmosphere BY BRANDON SAYERS bsayers@kansan.com Jeremy Vitt closed his eyes, took one deep breath and blew that first note through his saxophone. This could only mean one thing for Vitt: It's officially basketball season. Vitt, Hiawatha sophomore, is a saxophone player for the KU basketball band, which plays at all home basketball games and travels to the postseason tournaments. The season officially began for the band at this years "Late Night in the Phog," the same event that marked the beginning of the Jayhawk basketball team's season. "It was a very long night, but a lot of fun," Vitt said. "The team looked a lot more together this 'Late Night' than a year ago. Last year everyone was beating the hell out of one another, and this year we actually looked alright." Many students know little about the basketball band besides the songs that it plays, but there are plenty of meaningful customs and traditions within the program. One basketball band tradition is its superstitious grooming procedures come tournament time. "We do have the ritual that once we begin the Big 12 Tournament, we don't shave or cut our hair until we've lost. It's a fun thing we do that shows our commitment to the team," Vitt said. Another interesting tradition the band has kept up by a generous fan known as "The Coke Lady" "We play a song for her at every game and she buys everyone in the band a coke." Vitt said. The song the band plays for her drink donation? Frank Sinatras "It Had To Be You" who has passed," Vitt said. "So it's pretty cool." It is usually basketball season in Lawrence by this time of the year, but with the football team's success this season, the hype surrounding the basketball team seems to be a little less noticeable. "It reminds her of her husband "It's funny because we have one of the best basketball teams in the nation," Vitt said. "But right now, no one cares. Everyone's still talking about this football team." But Vitt still classifies the basketball band as one of the most unique and enjoyable experiences of his life. "It's just an awesome experience," Vitt said. "You get to go to all the games and you get to travel with all the players. That's the coolest thing about it." Edited by Eric Jorgensen TRADITION KU KANSAN FILE PHOTO Kate D'Avanzo, Oceanside, Calif., sophomore, colors in a Little Mermaid coloring book as she camps at Allen Fieldhouse last season. D'Avanzo and five friends camped for almost a week. "I got here at 6 a.m., and I'll be here until noon. That's what happens when you have a small camping group," D'Avanzo said. Camping group sizes can be as large as 30 people. Loyal fans camp for seats BY ARIELLE HERNANDEZ editor@kansan.com With basketball season officially underway, anxious students will pack the lobby in Allen Fieldhouse, waiting for hours, and even days, just to have the chance to pick perfect seats along the篮球 court. Camp outs for prestigious seats in Allen Fieldhouse are organized and operated by students and are a longstanding tradition at the University of Kansas. The tradition consists of unofficial rules that are strictly followed by the student groups that participate. "Camping out is an unforgettable experience and the waiting is always worth it," said Nathan Mack, Lawrence junior. "It's exciting to be part of a KU tradition and have the possibility of getting a really good seat." five to six days before each home basketball game, students gather their groups and partake in a lottery. Five members from the group must be present at the lottery, where they draw a number establishing their ranking from one to how ever many groups participate. The lottery is completely random to ensure that each group has a fair chance at a low number. The group who pulls the lowest number will be the first to enter the stadium two hours prior to game time, the group who pulls the next lowest number will be second to enter, and so on, down the list. In the days leading up the game, attendance of the groups is called, which requires at least one member from each group to be present from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. Students usually plan shifts to be sure a member is always present in case attendance is taken. Attendance can be called arbitrarily, ranging from every half hour to once a day, and can be called by any student. If a student group is not represented when attendance is called, the entire group will be knocked off the list, allowing for other groups to move up a spot. games. In addition, restaurants and food venues sometimes offer free food to keep the students occupied and happy. "The purpose is to get students pumped for the game," said Brianna Saunders, Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada junior. "While waiting, we get to see some of the athletic staff pass by, and players even come and hang out." To pass the time, campers play Freshmen are able to experience the basketball tradition of camping out as University students for the first time as the upcoming season approaches, and some have already experienced a minor version of it during Late Night at the Phog. Matt Ransom, O'Fallon Mo., freshman, is looking forward to participating in camp outs as a new student this year. "I am really excited to gather my group and to get good seats for the games," he said. "The rules are still a little confusing to me, but they will just take some getting used to." What do you think?

They hold hands tightly as they walk down the aisle toward a horror film flickering on-screen. What they don't know is ahead of them waits every horror film nemesis they've ever known. They'll be chased by Jigsaw, Pinhead, Jason, Freddie, and many more. This is just one of two new haunted houses located at the infamous West Bottoms district in Kansas City. The Macabre Cinema brings every horror flick to life and places you right in the middle. The Chambers of Edgar Allen Poe does the same for the famous author's stories. ALL PHOTOS COURTESY OF FULL MOON PRODUCTIONS, INC There's no comparing the two. They use two different types of scare tactics. If you take the Chambers of Edgar Allen Poe first, you in for a lighter scare. Even though it's a more realistic scare, it's still the Diet Coke of haunted houses. When you walk into the first room. Poe himself is there to greet you and tell you about the scares ahead. Apparently in his afterlife, Poe got bored and brought to life his scariest stories. This all sounds inventive and exciting but remember, you're basically walking through an American literature haunted house. Without spoiling all the tales you will encounter, you should be warned that the first is quite possibly the creepiest. After leaving Poe's office, you come to the front door of the house of Usher and are greeted by the eerie homeowner. He tells you that he put his sister in the wall and he'd like you to leave his house. There's something about a shadowy man in a top hat following you around a house yelling at you murderously that creates a more bone-chilling effect than any man in a mask could ever achieve. From this point on the tales get a little blury and the cheap old parlor tricks of past haunted houses return. People pop out from behind doors, whisper in your ear, and crack chains against walls. Vague story references are the only evidence of Poe in the house. One of the only other well-told stories besides "the House of Usher" is "the Tell Tale Heart." FIRST EDITION Also, the company promises to show you what it's like to suffocate, and delivers on that promise. It is a nerve-wracking part of the experience, especially when you think about how many people sweat their way through it before you. Overall, you'll spend 30 to 45 minutes in the Chambers. Maniacal Movies After stepping through the movie screen at the beginning of the cinema, you have to walk down a dim-lit corridor with jail cells on either side, one of which is plate glass. Sound familiar? You're taking the same walk Clarice Starling took in Silence of the Lams. It's eerie and so is the actor who plays him. From Poe you can move on to the Macabre Cinema, where all the classic horror films come to life. There, you'll meet every masked villain from horror films. They obviously poured money into the sets and put a lot of work into the look and feel of the place. 30421421 The Cinema's fright factor really depends on which movies you watched as a kid, and how much they terrified you. If you were scared of the puppet in Sow, Pinhead, the Candman, Jasmin, Freddie, and so on, chances are you'll feel right at home. This is, of course, if in your home you pee your pants and scream frequently. If these are just characters to you, chances are you won't be as scared as your friend clinging to your shoulder, but the actors still manage to spook you. Let's just say that often in this haunted house, it's not the leader who should be scared. 100 Another tip: if you've been to the Morgue (the haunted house, not the body locker) then you'll find your way out of the tricky scary parts much faster. If not, well, good luck with the butcher. Despite the scare factor in this one, it wasn't very inventive and there were a lot of missed chances to really put fear in the customer. Walking down a hallway full of doors in a scene straight out of The Shining, you'd expect a couple doors to pop open. Or, if you're walking down a really long, dim-lit corridor, being followed by a shadow figure could put the sweat in your restless night. The only thing you'll find in their very long corridor, though is a quick slap paint job and some spooky tinny music. You'll spend slightly more time in the Cinema than at the Chambers—45 minutes to an hour. There is a great backbone to the two new kids on the block—they're doing it for the kids. Proceeds from the Macabre Cinema and the Chambers of Edgar Allen Poe go to Variety: The Children's Charity of Greater Kansas City. Just like its double feature predecessors, The Beast and The Edge of Hell, you can go to one or the other for $20 or both for $33. It's for a good cause, though, so get out there, scream like a girl and pee your pants for the kids.

Extra media attention around Halloween is something she's accustomed to. On this day, Johnson was checked out in a stereotypical witch costume, with a black point hat, cloak and green face make-up. The Journalist asked her if it bothered her that so many people sport similar get-ups as Hallowen costumes, perhaps making a mackery of her and her religion, "I had to say to her, 'Uh, clearly not. This is my Halloween costume.' She thought that was how I dressed on a normal basis." Johnson says, "Every Halloween, I dress up, hand out candy, and then once the trick-or-treating is over, we celebrate our own way." This wasn't the first—or last—time Johnson has had to debunk stereotypes about Wicca, especially around this time of year. Culturally, the terms "Halloween" and "witch" are tied closely together for most in the Joe-Christian tradition. Niccan Words BOOK OF SHADOWS*W:hand-copied book of recipes, rituals and training techniques that are vital for a witch or a coven. ESBAT: A coven's weekly or bi-weekly meeting, traditionally taking place on the full moon or the new moon. "I call myself a witch, yes," Johnson said. "It's just that this term has been so skewed by Christianity." **PENTACLE:** a metal disc that symbolizes the earth element among the witch's working tools. DRAWING DOWN THE MOON: Ritual that invokes the spirit of the Goddess into the body of the High Priestess. world. Johnson says, though, the confusion and the bastardization of the term "witch" doesn't really bother her. **SCRYING:** A form of divination that uses methods such as crystal gazing, incense smoke, or water as opposed to tarot or other manipulative means. Source: http://www.msu.edu/~rohdemar/earth/gloss.html Wicca is a Pagan, earth-based religion that worships a God and a Goddess, whose spirits are found in everything in nature. The cornerstone of Wicca is the "Law of Three," meaning that any harm one places on a living creature will come back to you three times. A group of practicing Wiccans is called a coven. It is led by a high priest and a high priestess, although it is the female who holds more authority. Individual covens tend to be small—the traditional number of members is 13—and they meet on a regular basis, much like any other religion. There are eight "high holy days" in Wicca, all of which fall on or around a key Judeo-Christian religious holiday. It is worth noting, though, that Wicca and its traditions date back to Christianity, with the earliest development of Wiccan gods and ideals beginning in Europe around 7500 B.C., according to www.wicca.ch.com. For Wiccans, Oct. 31 is called Samhain (pronounced SAU-WIN). their highest holy day. On this day, the veil between the two worlds—life and death—is at its thinnest. The coven—a group of Wiccans with a high priest and a high priestess—lays out what is called a dumb feast, and invite their deceased loved ones to join them and share the meal. Although the menu is extremely varied and flexible, staples include bread, ale, wine and apples, Kacey Carlson, co-owner of The Village Witch, lays out dog and cat food every year, too, to connect with past pets. Beyond that, a Samhain celebration can take on many shapes. Wicca and its celebrations are much less structured than other religions, says Susie Kingman a high priestess for a coven in Topeka. "Our religion is about doing as you will and harming none." Kingman says. "If you ask 10 Wiccans to describe Wicca you'll get 15 different responses." What all Wiccans have in common, though, is the feeling they were born this way. Many were raised Christian, but never felt like that belief system fit. Johnson said what led her to straying from her Southern Baptist church was the image of an angry vindictive Christian God. "A divine power wouldn't behave that way." Carlson says she made her own deck of tarot cards at the age of 11, even though she didn't know the official term for the cards at the time. She found Wicca in college, and finally realized where this interest in mysticism came from." It wasn't that I became a Wiccan at age 19," Carlson says. "I have always been one, I was born this way." In Lawrence, most Wiccans aren't even sure of how many covens are active. Carlson knows of three that practice openly, but says that many Wiccans in Lawrence probably practice in solitude because they aren't in contact with others like them. She knows more covens exist, but more often than not, they prefer to stay secretive. Events like Pagan Pride Day, which took place for the first time in Lawrence on Oct 6, provide an occasional common gathering place, but those events are far and few between. But next week, organizedcovers and individuals alike, whether they're underground or not, will celebrate the biggest Wiccan day of the year. Along with marking the day where the vell heart of life and death is at its thinnest, the day also represents the final Harvest and the Celtic New Year. Most in Lawrence will march around neighborhoods toting an ever- growing bag of cardy, a certain few will be dancing to the beat of a different drum, hidden away in unknown temples or basements and summoning their dead loved ones to feast with them. "A lot of religions and people are fearful of that part of the circle (death)," Kingman says. "We're not." MALE WITCHES? Yes, they do exist, even here in Lawrence. Wicca is a more goddess-based belief system, the male role is key for finding harmony. "We must maintain that male-female balance," says Alfred Willockh, a male Wiccan in Lawrence. But that balance can't be found in the majority of local covens. Johnson says she's begging for more men to join her coven, Nine Roses, Of the 11 members, only three are male, she says. "This whole stigma that we're a women's religion got started in the 1970s during the feminist movement. There was a rise in Wicca popularity, and since then, it's been seen as sort of a knee-jerking reaction to male supremacy." --- ( ol- 2W ref ot s t i PG PG PG, Sam d PG, PG 1 9 --- THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN GAME DAY Page 6B FRIDAY,OCTOBER 26,2007 balloween 67 VOLUME 118 ISSUE 50 WWW.KANSAN.COM The hand that feeds you N.Y.C. 10.25.2007 = JAYPLAY HOW WE MET A OUET, DRUGLOUSH HIPPE, THAT IS WHAT JOHN HARTNER, BARRINGTON, IL SOPHOMORE, THOROUGH JOBNAND HIPPE, STERling SOPHOMORE, WAS, WHERE THEY FIRST MET, HARTNER was A FRESHMAN LIVED IN EWLSOUND HALL WHERE HE MET HEBEN, WHO LIVED IN LEWS HALL.

JAYPLAY = 10.25.2007 IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, LARRY-TOWN by Jared Duncan LARRY-TOWN Pumpkin For many of us, the word "pumpkin" conjures up images of jack o' lanterns and Thanksgiving ples. However, the vegetable also provides numerous health benefits that can be enjoyed all year long. Susan Krumm, from the Kansas State Research and Extension for Douglas County, says that pumpkins and their seeds are high in vitamin A, as well as protein, fiber, zinc, iron, and mono and polysaturated fat. These ingredients can lead to benefits in cardiovascular health and better skin and vision. They can also decrease the risk of arthritis, and prostate and colon cancer. However, Krumm warns against going in for seconds on pumpkin deserts. "Even in pumpkin pie, we're getting the health benefits, we're just adding ingredients to it," she says. "You don't want to eat it too often because of the fat and sugar content." Krumm recommends choosing pumpkin recipes low in fat and sugar. Krumm says that students shouldn't just limit themselves to pumpkin recipes, either. "The pumpkin is a squash," she says. "So any recipe that calls for a winter squash could be substituted with pumpkin." Students looking for pumpkin recipes can find a multitude of them in DeeDee Stovel's cookbook Pumpkin, a Super Food for All 12 Months of the Year. The book contains 125 concoctions ranging from traditional pies and breads to unorthodox pumpkin chili and pumpkin pizza. When putting together a pumpkin dish, Krumm says that canned pumpkin is fine, but that pumpkin mix has sugars and spices added to it. Stovel says that she was unfamiliar with the food at first, but after doing research, it has PHOTO BY SARAH LEONARD become one of her favorites. Stovel says that while it’s perfectly fine to used canned pumpkin, amateur cooks shouldn’t be afraid of incorporating fresh pumpkin into their dishes. "I found out some wonderful things about pumpkin. It's very nutritious and I'm a real fan at this point." Pumpkin isn't just beneficial for your inside, though. Pumpkin extracts are being put into body lotions and creams. It may sound strange, but Kenneth Beer, dermatologist and founder of www.idleskin.com, says that it's not as outlandish as people might think. "I think people are often scared away by the heavy skin because they think it's a lot of hard work to get into the pumpkin, but if you microwave it first, you can get to the flesh pretty easily," she says. "I think you get a fresher flavor with the fresh ones than the cans." If cooking isn't really your speed, plenty of food and beverage companies are getting into the act. IHOP is featuring pumpkin pancakes on their menu until the end of the year. And to wash it down, breweries such as O'Fallon are producing seasonal pumpkin beers which feature actual bits of pumpkin in the mix along with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Another interesting aspect of using fresh pumpkin, says Stovel, is that they can be hollow out and used to cook or serve a pumpkin soup or stew. "Pumpkin is high in minerals and vitamins and can be very good at adding nutrients to the skin," Beer says. "The skin needs some of the minerals Stovel says that of all the recipes she researched for the book, her favorite has to be Kaou, a dish from Afghanistan. "It's steamed pumpkin in sauce, lapped with yogurt and a mint," she says. "It's really delicious and kind of unusual." and vitamins to replenish, so providing them topically is a great way to get that." "One of the big things to look for is the manufacturer," he says. "Sometimes you find people who are just dabbling in skin care, and you don't want that. You want to get it from someone with a long pedigree in skincare, especially botanicals, such as Aveda or Bath and Body Works." Bee says your best bet for finding a lotion with actual pumpkin additives is to go with the body cream of the crop. pumpkin body lotion and a three-in-one pumpkin body wash, bubble bath and shampoo. Beer advocates pumpkin extract products and thinks the outlook for them is bright. Bath and Body Works is palette, head to the patches and currently offering a line of pick up a plum pumpkin seasonal products, including "I think this time of year when everyone is thinking about pumpkins, skin care products are becoming more and more popular," he says.

WHO YOU GONNA CALL A reporter's search for the paranormal turns up some information leads to a 2 JOHN ALL PHOTOS BY MINDY RICKETTS Corbin Residence Hall, an all-women dormitory, is rumored to be haunted, possibly by dead Tuberculosis patients from long ago. --- The rain is coming down hard, pounding against the windows of Corbin Residence Hall. Every few minutes lightning crashes, sending a flash of white through the dim and empty hallways. Two of the dorm's residents are escorting me. We are making our way to the fourth floor of the south wing, which is notorious among students for being haunted. One legend says that the floor was a Tuberculosis ward long ago, indicating that many patients died there. Another legend tells of a girl who took her own life in a room on the floor. As a result, future residents refused to occupy the room and it was turned into a trash closet. However, historical records show no evidence of either of these claims. We enter the south lobby on the fourth floor and take a seat to talk about the different spirits and specters who have supposedly made their way through the dorm. Almost all the women who live in Corbin have left for the four-day fall break weekend and in the absence of the laughter of girls returning home from bars and parties, there is only the tapping of the rain and the occasional roar of thunder. Suddenly, a muffie scream cuts through the rhythmic tapping. My escorts and I stare at each other with mixed expressions of curiosity and fright. Our "Some of us just have a special talent to hear and care for spirits who are earthbound," she says. She continues with stories of girls who have heard a man singing at all hours of the night on the third floor of the north wing at GSP which is connected to Corbin, and resident assistants who have heard seat seats slamming in an shocked looks quickly fade as one explains that a resident assistant is watching a movie in her room, just feet from the lobby. She and her sister experienced many paranormal happenings in the two western Kansas homes they grew up in. Though many of the experiences scared them, they decided to use their gifts to help not only those who are plagued by spirits, but the spirits themselves. Margaret, who asked that her full name be withheld for fear of being harassed, says a gift passed down through her bloodline has given her a special ability to communicate with the deceased. empty bathroom. My mind wanders back to a conversation I had with Margaret, a Lawrence resident and paranormal investigator. "I if can be a tool to facilitate sad souls to light, so be it." Margaret has conducted The investigations are conducted by a group including Margaret, her husband and her sister. They usually are found by word of mouth by people who feel they are living in a bad paranormal home. The equipment the crew uses includes a gauss meter, which picks up anything with an active electrical current. Margaret says this is helpful for detecting spirits because, much like living beings, they emit a lot of electricity. They also use a 35-millimeter Canon digital camera to capture things they might have missed such as faces or orbs, which are circular traces left in photographs. Margaret has conducted six investigations and five sences over the past two years. The sences often involved trying to contact abducted children. At one sence, Margaret and a group contacted Nicole Brown Simpson; she said she knew who her killer was, but felt that the group was being too nosy to divulge any names. and voices missed during recording, but which are audible during the Another important piece of equipment in investigations is a tape recorder. It can pick up sounds "The camera never lies," she says. "But it also picks up a lot of dust in the air, so you can't believe that every little thing is an orb." tape playback. This process is referred to as electronic voice phenomena, or EVP. Margaret and her sister played me a tape they had left recording in the basement of a house they were investigating. Upon playing the tape back, they heard a Native American song and dance. In the short clip she played for me, I could hear the sounds of shuffling feet and various rattles. Margaret isn't sure why the spirits stay with us, but has a few theories. She believes that the sadness keeps them earthbound, as well as the guilt produced by the tears of the living. She also believes that some spirits might be here as punishment in the afterlife. "What if they have to watch the enjoyment of life as their hell?" She says. "You can see it, but you can't have it." As long as there are people being plugged by spirits, Margaret will be helping them. "I operate out of respect and love," she says. "I try to usher the spirits towards vacating." Margaret understands why people might not believe in spirits, but she also thinks that nonbelievers could see the light.

"One person who isn't convinced Michael Shermer, publisher of necistic magazine and monthly columnist for Scientific American, "Paranormal investigations are costly a waste of time," he says. people never turn up anything scientifically." Shermer says that the investigations are done for fun and compares them to reading a Philip King ghost novel. And while he doesn't believe, he can understand why many people do. "I think it taps into a deeper psychology of a need for belief in miracle afterlife," Shermer says. "If you could prove a ghost or poltergeist, you could prove that afterlife. In day's world, you're supposed to believe in proof instead of faith." Another person who doesn't believe in spirits is Raymond Higgins, professor of psychology at KU, who has organized a seminar on the psychology of the paranormal. "People want to believe in something above and beyond material aspects," he says. "Believing in the paranormal implies an immaterial component to us." Higgins says that paranormal investigations are like a search for one's soul and sees no evidence that convinces him of paranormal phenomenon. His seminar is focused on getting people to look at what qualifies as evidence. "What you typically see is eyewitness, 'this happened to me,' type things," he says. "They had some experience they couldn't otherwise explain." Before we continue the security rounds in Corbis, I ask to take a walk inside the infamous trash room where the girl supposedly committed suicide. My escorts look at each other for a minute and then agree that it would be okay. At first I thought they might be hesitating because they were trying to decide if I was allowed in the room, but I soon realized it was because they were afraid of what was inside. As I reach for the knob, I look in the small rectangular window of the door and see a figure move past. Startled, I jump back, and then move in slowly to find that Do you believe in ghosts? 10863 Nike Forsac, Houston senior kind of. I'm from Africa, so we a lot of traditions and you are a lot of ghost stories. adidas Levi Williams, Garnett sophomore – Yes, because I've seen a couple of ghosts. We were staying at a relative's house and the wife had just died, and I was sleeping in the living room. In the middle of the night, a recliner started rocking and the next morning they said it was her chair. Josh Renken, Olathe junior - No. A belief in ghosts would be a belief in religion, and I'm kind of agnostic. the lights are off inside and the figure is only my reflection. I open the door and feel a moment of tension walking into the empty, pitch-black room. Scared of what might be waiting for me in one of the four corners, I practically leap for the light switch. Flipping it on, I see that the room is completely empty except for the trash and recycle bins huddled against the wall. A deep closet on my left holds a large sink and a few custodial supplies. Further along the left wall are two doors. The first door is locked. The second requires some force, but does open. It doesn't contain much more than a mop and some cardboard boxes. Then, on the top shelf, I see a blue wooden box with the name Elizabeth written across the front in red marker. My mind begins to race. Was Elizabeth the girl who had supposedly committed suicide in this room? I look inside the box for clues, but it is empty. Taking another look, I decide that the box is too fresh-looking to have been kept here over the years, and that surely if it had belonged to the young woman in question, someone would have removed it before converting the room. I put the box back on the shelf and head towards the door, thinking that my first ghost hunting experience has been a big bust. As I walk past the sink closet, though, something catches my eye. Inside the closet hangs a dry-erase board that had been written on in black marker. The girls, still waiting by the door, had noticed me stopping to study something and asked what I saw. I insist that they come look at what I had found, because otherwise they wouldn't believe me. Still hesitant to enter, they demanded that I read the message aloud. So I do. "Stop using my room. This is where I took my life. Let me be," I read. Horrified, the girls told me numerous times to shut up and claimed that I was lying. I tried to show them the proof, but I think they would rather believe me than step foot in the room.

Either way this place can be scary By Alaide Vilchis Ibarra The Eldridge Hotel in downtown Lawrence is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of Col. Shaler Eldridge, its former owner. His portrait hangs in the lobby. I walked toward the big, wooden elevator in the lobby of The Eldridge hotel feeling uneasy about what to expect. I had heard all the stories: people who press the elevator button for the basement and are taken to the fifth floor—the haunted floor—instead, cameras that begin falling for no reason, pictures where you can see a man standing in the elevator even though there was no one there when the picture was taken. At The Eldridge, supernatural occurrences are talked about the way people discuss the weather elsewhere. But there I was, walking though the 1920s marble floor in the lobby of the hotel towards the infamous elevator. Even though I'm skeptical about ghost stories, I have to admit my heart was racing a little as slowly stepped into the elevator and pressed the white button that would take me to the fifth floor. "How about you? Have you met the ghost yet?" Nancy ALL PHOTOS BY DANI MARVI Longhurst, general manager asks another employee. "No, not yes. But I've heard stories, "the employee answers. The employee walks away without elaborating. It seems as if every employee has either heard stories or has their own ghost story for others to hear. The mystery surrounding the hotel stems from its somewhat violent history. It has been in Lawrence since 1855, when the New England Emigrant Aid Society built it under the name The Free State Hotel. In 1856 the hotel was burned to the ground for the first time by sheriff Sam Jones, who raided the troop with his proslavery troop. Colonel Shaler Eldridge rebuilt the hotel but in 1863, it was partially burned again. This time William Clarke Quantrill and his raiders were responsible. The raid killed 150 men and destroyed almost all of downtown. Col. Eldridge reconstructed the hotel once again and changed the name to The Eldridge. The hotel was renovated in 2004, but it still has original 50% structures from the 1923. Helen Krische, archivist at the Watkins Museum of History, says she can understand all the ghost stories that surround The Eldridge if they used parts of the original material when they renovated the hotel. Longhurst, the hotel's general manager, says that many parts of the original structure—from the chandelier to the floor—were kept form the original structure. There is even a section in room 506, which is part of the original structure, that is rumored to be a gate to hell. The section of the room is currently covered but Longhurst says they would not mind uncovering it again. Part of room 506 In the Eldridge Hotel is alledgedly a portal to hell. The elevator doors open on the fifth floor and, for some reason, I start thinking that as soon as I step out of the elevator something strange will happen. Instead, I'm welcomed to the fifth floor by the constant humming of the ice machine, a picture hanging on the off-white walls and a chair right in front of the elevator. I walk up and down the dimly lit hallway with gray carpet and look for room 506. Rooms 505 and 506 seem to be far away and I feel more and more uneasy with each step. T. K Peterson, the head chef it's rumored it is the ghost of Eldridge that haunts the place. A black and white picture of him posing with 5 little girls hangs in the lobby above a white chimney. He looks distinguished, dressed in a suit and a bearded, but his deep dark eyes seem to stare at you no matter where you move. I stand staring at it waiting for something to happen. Nothing does, but with every strange noise I hear, *get a little jumpy*. I finally approach the door to room 506—the room with a gate to hell. of the Eldridge, says he has had more than one encounter with Eldridge's ghost. One time, it was 5:30 a.m. and he went downstairs to the locker room. As he was heading down the stairs he heard a door in the locker room open. The door is always kept locked, but when he looked it was wide open. "I know it sounds kind of or weit, but it was a very real moment." On what he calls "not his proudest moment," he ran back upstairs and turned on every light on his way up. Peterson says he often sees things that have been moved out of place when nobody has been there or thinks he hears voices. Still, he is never sure if it is his imagination or a supernatural-event happening. Skepticism seems to accompany the ghost stories of the Eldridge. Zach Clancy, a guest services employee who works at night, says he has never seen anything out of the ordinary happen during his shift. He says he finds humor in the fact that people request room 506 to see if something strange will happen. "Yes, sometimes I hear voices, but I think I might hear voices in my head all the time anyway." As I turned the corner to go into the hallway to get to the elevator, the humming noise from the ice machine stopped. In its place, I heard the noise of. I walked away from room 506 both relieved and a little disappointed nothing weird happened. shuffling ice of someone taking ice from the machine. I turned the corner to find the machine, hoping, wishing to find a friendly person next to ice machine who needed ice at 5 p.m. The noise stopped for a second as soon as I looked at the machine, then started again, this time not as loud. My adventurous nature ended there and went back down the elevator and out the wooden doors a little scared and a little skeptical. I really hope ice machines make that kind of noise all the time, even though I have never witnessed it. Regardless, my visit to the fifth floor left me a little curious. Maybe I'll be one of the people that Clancy finds humorous and get a room there on Halloween. --- H horr week p.m. Gues and a prize THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN GAME DAY Page 6B balloween 13 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2007 WWW.KANSAN.COM The hand that feeds you VOLUME 118 ISSUE 50 10. 25.2007 = JAYPLAY GRAD CHECK Each year, students make the legendary walk through the Campanile, down The Hill and into the real world.

He says the university has five specimens at any given time, all borrowed from the University of Kansas Medical Center. He says the first thing you have to do is get over the smell—a bitter, rotting fruit-like odor. The perfume comes from preservatives, not the body itself. *It makes your nose think bad things.* he says He comes from persia but has a sister. "It makes your nose think bad things," he says. It makes your nose think twice before you wear a Najara's students are always surprised by the massive amounts of fat found on bodies, slim or thick. He says it is everywhere; between muscles and skin, organs, and even between the eye socket and eyeball. "You feel like you're spending an hour and a half digging through fat," he says. But before you get too far into your journey of anatomic discovery, you have to dry the body out. "Initially, when you go in, it's juicy everywhere." After drying the body in a process that includes sooping up body liquid with paper towels, the body assumes the appearance of beef jerky and is ready for examination. Najera says you find all kinds of surprises inside, including branches of arteries that aren't found in textbooks, stomach staples and livers ranging from the size of golf balls to footballs. He's held human brains and seen damaged kidneys covered in blisters. Some parts are easier to cut through than others. "Even a scalpel has problems going through the tendons," he says. "It's almost like you need a saw." Najera says he's never had a student vomit or pass out while dissecting a body,but notes that everyone experiences some discomfort at first. "It's a test. No one really knows what their reaction will be like."

This restaurant offers twice as many rings as other places and at one of the lowest prices. The rings are salty and pepper-coated. If you crave salt, these are the rings for you. ★★★ Henry T's Bar & Grill 3520 W. Sixth St. 65 25 These rings are definitely the crispest. They're so crispy that you can even hear them crunch when you chew. There are plenty of rings to share between two people. The only negative thing about these rings is greasiness. They're a JB Stout's Sports Bar & Grill 721 Wakarusa Drive 55 49 ★★★ The onion rings are huge here, but JB Stout's only serves 10 rings per order. The menu says the rings are battered with homemade beer, but they don't taste anything like that. The rings lack crispiness regardless of their big size. The thickness makes their flavor rich, though Jefferson's Restaurant 743 Massachusetts St 54. 99 The onion rings here are perfectly balanced. They're crisp, thick, and relatively big. The perfect golden color of the rings is beautiful and there are around 20 rings, which is enough for two people to share but you won't want to!

MARRY ME At the age of 24, St. Vincent (Annie Clark) has already toured with The Polyphonic Spree and Sufian Stevens, but her most impressive achievement is perhaps her St. Vincent furcoed CORE NO. 37 explosive debut album Marry Me. Similar to quirky singer-songwriters like Feist and Regina Støptor, St. Vincent drew from a variety of sources like soul, jazz, pop, rock and classical. The opening track "Now Now" features a cacophony of sounds and melodies and sets the stage for a great album. "All My Stars Aligned" recalls classic singers from yesteryear with its sweet croon and impassioned vocals. "Jesus Saves, I Spend" is the perfect song to drown out awkward conversations with your cousins during the holidays. "The Apocalypse Song" sets itself up as a repeat-worthy track with its catchy and memorable chorus. The album is not perfect, but then again neither are most saints, so it's safe to say St. Vincent does a darn good job. ★★★★ Chris Brower DAN IN REAL LIFE Dan In Real Life is about a man whose love for a woman threatens to tear his close-knit family apart. if this doesn't sound familiar, it should. The plot reeks of The Family Stone, which is just the most recent example in a long line of holiday brotha movies that date as far back as The Big Chill, Lucky for director Peter Hedges, Life has a mostly witty script and two actors who are capable of delivering it. Steve Carell and Dane Cook ultimately keep the MATT GREENS JESSICA HARRIS have not rotting in plot unoriginality. Still, the feared cliché label waits precariously in the corner. Dan (Carell) is a father and a widower who writes a well-liked parental advice column. The only problem is that his theory doesn't quite translate into practice. Not that he's a completely incompetent dad, but let's just say that his kids wouldn't present him with a father of the year trophy. Anxious to find love again, Dan meets and falls for Maria (Juliette Binoche), who turns out to be dating his brother, Mitch (Cook). This drama is boxed into a two-story house over a holiday weekend with a family that partakes in festivities that put my family's ritual of watching the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving to shame. All the making of a powder keg in place, jealousy/hilarity/heartbreak ensues. Aside from Carell and Cook, the film lacks the colorful family members that made The Family Stone work so well. Where Dan In Real Life has a leg up on its filmic twin is with the lead acting; Carell's socially awkward shick is better than anything Dermot Multonry can do as an actor. Carell may have as much character range as Stephen Hawking has athletic ability, but who cares when the one character he does is so damn funny? He still has many repeat roles he can pull off before descending to Ben Stiller depths. ★★★ Ian Stanford THE PHOGGY DOG BAR & GRILL PHOGGY DOG'S 3rd Birthday Bash Party All Weekend Long!

From the start, I made school a challenge; I could not shut up. I always had something to say, whether it was pertinent to material or not. My mouth was a machine gun firing words at an unruly rate. During those years it was normal for my parents to get two or three calls a week from my school saying I had spent the majority of the day in time-out because I talked too much. My middle school years were a bit better and I got into less trouble. I thought in high school I would keep my mouth in check. Until one day I had no reason to want to talk in class. Actually, I had no desire to even be in class. Midway through the first semester of my freshman year of high school, the excitement I'd felt since kindergarten disappeared. I felt like a prisoner adhering to a strict regimen that sought to end my creativity. That year was abysmal; I didn't want to be there and my grades reflected it. I failed two classes my first semester and one in the second semester. I despised school, hated my teachers and loathed the "learning" environment the school sought to create. I wanted to quit. I wanted something different—I wanted a job. I didn't see a point in education. I was old enough to work and I wanted to work. I saw education as an interference with a crucial part of American economy—money. If I could dedicate the eight hours I spent in school to work I would have money and I could help my parents immediately with finances. I knew my parents had not completed high school in El Salvador and yet they were successful. They owned their own home and drove two nice cars. Why couldn't I do it? ILLUSTRATION BY CATHERINE COQUILLETTT1 When I was 17 my family went to El Salvador on vacation. This was my fourth trip, but the first I was old enough to remember. I was able to see with my own eyes what my parents had escaped. I remember walking around the capital city of San Salvador, seeing kids half my age, covered in dirt and grime and wearing clothes that were either too small or had more holes than actual fabric. These kids worked for spare change, old clothes; whatever anyone was willing to give them. When I got back home,I had a new appreciation for what my parents had done for me by leaving El Salvador; I rededicated myself during my last two years of high school; I developed an interest in journalism and decided to pursue it in college. During Daniel Reyes During my first two years of enough to be on my own yet. She was right. Here I met one of the most influential people of my life. She helped me realize college, I attended Garden City Community College because my mom thought I wasn't mature could do more, and was there when my ass needed kicking. Laura York was the student media adviser, and after a semester in her media class, she offered me scholarship for books and tuition to write for the campus magazine. Breakaway. It was a blessing that I nearly turned into a disaster. Laura and I clashed over my attitude. Eventually, we had a make-or-break fight. I was grossly behind in an online class and had to catch up on six weeks of work in two weeks. That morning we had a breaking news story, and I didn't volunteer to take it. Laura was furious. She said any journalist would jump at this opportunity, and I hadn't. I stood there in the middle of the classroom, stunned and wounded. I wanted to quit, and I nearly did, but then reason caught hold of me. Laura had stated a plain truth. She expected more from me because of my experience. I didn't quit. I returned the next semester, and a year later I got my associate's degree and applied to the University of Kansas at the urging of my parents. When received the acceptance letter, I could not believe it. I was going to do something with my life. Something my parents had dreamed about. Since that trip to El Salvador I've done many things I never imagined I would. I was the first in my family to graduate from high school and the first to earn an associate's degree. And now that I'm set to graduate in May, I will be the first in my family to earn a bachelor's degree. After that it'll be time to put what I've learned to use. I hope to write for a magazine like National Geographic or ESPN the Magazine. At one point things looked bleak for me, but now I can see what I have strived for. I've reached this point in my lifemotivated mostly by both the lesson of my parents and Laura's coaching, which taught me not to take the easy way out. I could have taken the easy way out, stayed in Garden City and gone to work in the beef plant, but my parents and Laura saw something more in me.

Fans eagerly awaiting the music of Umphrey the Mogee rush into Liberty Hall. The atmosphere inside is old-fashioned and unique with Liberty's vast hardwood floors and large murals surrounding the unusually wide stage. Fans on the ballroom floor turn around and admire the beautiful balcony that hangs over them, noticing the impressive architecture of the theatre. Then the lights go black out, and the music begins. According to Emory Frank Scott's "One Hundred Years of Lawrence Theatre," Samuel Edwin Poole built Liberty Hall in 1856 after the burning of an anti-slavery newspaper building. Lawrence residents considered the structure as an important political and social venue that housed many debates and public forums during the late 1800s. For more than 142 years, 644 Massachusetts St. has been home to the musical and cinematic icon that is Liberty Hall. Its rich and fascinating history stems back to the mid-1800s when it was originally a town meeting center. Later, in 1882, a man named J.D. Bowersock purchased Liberty Hall and transformed it into an opera house, adding several floors and improving the building's design. It was during this time that the hall hosted many theatrical shows put on by the citizens of Lawrence. Such titles included "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "Hamlet" and "Count of Monte Cristo." In addition to these local performances, many traveling theatrical companies came to the Opera House from all over the country. It should also be noted that during this time, theatrical community fundraisers called "Minstrels" were held raiserly until 1930. These events featured comedic routines and joke taken from various Lawrence citizens and were very popular among the community. Phog Allen, University of Kansas basketball coach from 1907 to 1909, and 1919 to 1956, was a very involved participant in the events and took great pride in cracking jokes about other community members. HENRY HALL 2 DAYS IN PARIS 11TH HOUR HENRY ROLLING Sarah Leonard/KANSAN In 1911, a fire destroyed the building, and complete reconstruction was the only way to resurrect the beloved Bowersock Opera House. One year later, construction was complete and the building that stands on 7th and Massachusetts streets today was finished. Over the next several decades, Liberty Hall underwent numerous name and owner changes. It was known as the Dickinson Theatre from 1930 to 1940, the Jayhawker Theatre from 1940 to 1956 and eventually the Red Dog Inn. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Red Dog Inn was very popular among college students. Dr. Michael Walk, professor of English and 40-year Lawrence resident, fondly recalled the Red Dog as "a big dive a big bar that played music and served beer. It had a real dance floor..during my time it was really the only major venue to see music (in Lawrence)," Valk's most memorable experience at the Red Dog was a performance by Ike and Tina Turner in 1966. In 1985, the current owner of Liberty Hall, David Millstein, and his late business partner, Charles Oldfather, purchased the venue. It was then that a dramatic renovation and remodeling took place, transforming the building into what it is today. Liberty Hall, located at 644 Massachusetts St., houses a two-screen theater and hosts entertainment events throughout the year. After dramatic renovations in 1985 the building transformed into what it is today. HOLIDAY WEEK The entry to the main theater is located right inside the front doors of Liberty Hall. In 1912, after a fire the previous year, the building that stands on 7th and Massachusetts was constructed. Red Lyon Tavern The ticket office is adjacent to the Liberty hall marque. Before the building became a movie house, audiences came to see operas and other live entertainment. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Red Lyon Tavern Red Lyon Tavern "Music has passed through the doors of Liberty Hall since the turn of the century," he said. "Musicians like that they can see the eyes of the person in the back row." Fitzgerald felt that Liberty Hall's popularity among fans as well as musicians stemmed from its historic roots and small, down to earth, atmosphere. Sam Littman, Chicago senior, is an avid concertgoer and saw an estimated 16 performances at Liberty, not to mention numerous film showings and movie rentals. Over the past 25 years Fitzgerald worked at Liberty Hall, he experienced an array of memorable artistic performances. Fitzgerald fondly recalled listening to the guitar work of Michael Hedges, witnessing Eminem's final small club performance, hearing Allen Ginsberg recite his famous poem, "Howl," and rocking out to the bass guitar of Willie Dickson. "The atmosphere is unbeatable," Littman said. "Bands love it just as much as the fans do, and its clear through their stage presence and their interaction with the crowd." Rob Fitzgerald, who started working at Liberty Hall in 1982 as a concert promoter, was part of the original renovation crew. Today, the 45-year-old KU alumnus is the events and technical manager, responsible for booking the music as well as finding the films that play in the hall's two movie theatres that showcase independent films. "My sister was front row at an Umphrey's McGee show, and she was calling me (a few rows back). When she was on the phone the lead guitarist (Jake Cinninger) grabbed her phone and played a slide guitar solo. They released the song on one of their podcasts." A touch of Irish in downtown Lawrence 944 Massachusetts 832-8228 Brandon Davis, Mountain Brook, Ala. senior urged University students to take advantage of Liberty Hall. Edited by Meghan Murphy "One thing you need to do before you graduate is see a concert and a movie at Liberty Hall, where you can drink a Free State beer while you watch," he said. Valk perceived the tremendous appreciation citizens and students Over the past 142 years, the theatre changed its name, owner and design frequently, but one thing remained constant. The building that is known as Liberty Hall has hosted some of America's most important and influential artists in one of the most local and down-to-earth atmospheres around. From Charlie Chaplin to the Police, Buddy Rogers, a University of Kansas student from 1927 to 1928, to Muddy Waters, Liberty Hall is one of Lawrence's most treasured icons and will be for years to come. events schedule "Everybody that's been involved with Liberty Hall has a story to tell about it," he said. of Lawrence have for Liberty Hall stemmed from experiences just like Littman's.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2007 PAGE 5A Simmermon: Too many televised crime shows wreak havoc on the imagination. THE DURBIN DISPATCH Sebelius' coal plant support flops Early project support pulled by Kansas Governor preventing unnecessary greenhouse emissions When it comes to politics, the term "flip-flipping" is usually associated with an underlying negative belief. In fact, during the last presidential election the term became a comic rerun for John Kerry's opposing nominees. However, Governor Kathleen Sebelius recently flip-flopped on an issue involving a coal-fired plant in western Kansas because of possible political purposes. In December 2006, Sebelius supported a proposal presented by Sunflower Power Electric Corp. to build two 700-megawatt plants near Holcomb. Nonetheless, many believe that her decision stemmed from her potential positions in the 2010 elections, and her possible nomination for the U.S. Senate or a highly ranked position on the Democratic presidential administration. The question facing Sebelius was whether the Democratic Party would stand by her decision to allow the plants, or if political suicide was in order. This year the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the greenhouse gasses being produced by the coal plants in this country are in fact an air pollutant, and can/should be regulated under the Clean Air Act; beneath this decision, many coal-fired plants nationwide have now been cancelled. Ironically, the plants facing decision here in Kansas would have emitted 11 tons of carbon dioxide per year. If Sebe- hus did take over a top position on the Democratic administration operating under the new CO2 trouble, being attributed to part of the cause CHELSEA DURBIN (allowing the plants) would not have been in her greatest favor the right one. During the past few months a number of environmental groups came forward arguing their opposition to the plants, and it was easy to see that their concerns were not being taken seriously by Sebelius until now. With growing concerns coming not only from the U.S. Senate, but from the large number of environmental groups, the issues surrounding the carbon dioxide emissions were taken into consideration according to Sebelius. Nevertheless, whether or not the decision was politically motivated, or if in fact Kathleen Sebelius really does give a crap about the environment, her decision to deny the permits was As a resident of the state of Kansas, I was outraged with the thought of allowing Sunflower Electric occupy part of our state and create an unnecessary amount of pollution. Not only that, but according to Sunflower Electric, Kansas was only going to get part of the electricity being generated while the rest of it went to a rapidly growing portion of eastern Colorado. This decision marks a victory not only for environmental groups, but for the state of Kansas as well. Being a conservative Republican stronghold, Kansas is not always considered a leading advocate for environmental causes, but the Kansas Department of Health and Environment has become the first agency in the US to cite CO2 emissions as a reason to reject an air permit for coal-fired electricity plant. Kansas is raising itself to new standards and possibly leading the way for other states to help fight the crisis of global warming. I believe that energy is obviously an important issue and it's something none of us can live without in this day and age, but using our resources the best of our ability is a must; wind power anyone? Durbin is a Hays junior in journalism and English. DRAWING BOARD TEA AND CAKE, OR DEATH Coastal schools synonymous with "highest" education Midwest schools lack attention that comes with name prestige Ever notice how there is a tendency for people to name the coasts and forget everything in between? This problem is no more evident than in academia and higher institutions of learning. It seems the new provincialism calls itself "Ivy League" or any slew of expensive, lofty universities. But what about those schools not named New York University or Stanford? Schools in the Midwest continue to be passed over for laurels and laud. One caveat, the intent behind this piece is not to bemoan the fact that institutions like the University of Kansas are ignored, but rather question why so many people place so much stock and prestige in a name brand. For exam pple almost every medical journal published JORDAN WILLIAMS about diet and health seems to originate from Duke University. Surely I'm not the only one who thinks that KU Med has students and professors just as capable as those who attend Duke. It's not surprising though, because this is a country obsessed with pristine and well known brands. People automatically assume that $40,000 a year tuition equals the best in every category possible. Ironically enough, Kansas State University has an exceptional engineering program and business school. KU has a nationally renowned Western Civilization program. Not to mention the Jayhawks nearly always kick proverbial behind in debate and journalism, even when compared to the Ivies. All of these previous vexations of mine beg another idea. Do a majority of people in this country truly believe that only the best and brightest flock to or originate from coastal enclaves? potential effectiveness of Ms. Miers based on her educational pedigree and not her innate ability or wisdom. On a side note, ask any Kansas students from Texas and I'm fairly certain they will affirm Southern Methodist University is a prestigious institution. I realize that so far my inner ramblings are very rhetorical question heavy, but these are issues that students who attend schools that are very public, very affordable and very Midwestern, have to wrestle with. Sometimes, after being incessantly barragged with the supposed superiority and privilege of undergraduate programs at Harvard, I start to question the Case in point, I seem to remember a certain nominee to the Supreme Court named Harriet Miers. There were editorials that literally questioned the worth of my education. After all, Bill Gates wasn't bending over backwards to give the commencement speech at the University of Missouri in 2007. But when those moments of self-pity start to prey upon me, I remind myself that my school and many others in this region have highly competent professors, faculty and staff. Empirically, there is no difference between the student who scored a perfect 36 on the ACT and chooses to attend KU than the person who scored a perfect 2400 and chooses to attend Brown. The true difference is only made apparent in the billions of dollars in endowment, political connections and academic attention given to places like Harvard and Brown. Ultimately, one (and by one, I mean me) needs to be content with the personal choices made and ignore the presuppositions of shallow, label-obsessed students of uppity colleges. What's even more humorous is that as I pen this article, I plan to apply to at least one Ivy for law school. Once bitten, twice shy anyone? Williams is a Coffeyville junior in English and pre-law.

ZARAGOZA CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BY COURTNEY CONDRON Filmmaker Steve Balderson grew up in Wamego and attended Manhattan High School before attending California Institute of the Arts. Balderson said he first learned about photography and film making from his grandfather. ccondron@kansan.com Steve Balderson, a Kansas filmmaker, is being honored at the Tribeca Film Center in New York City Oct. 26, 29 and 31. The films shown are "Firecracker," "Wamego Strikes Back" and "Wamego: Making Movies Anywhere." We asked Balderson some questions about being a filmmaker from Kansas. Q: Where did you grow up, and where do you spend the majority of your time? A: I grew up in Wamego and went to Manhattan High School but spent a lot of my time in Lawrence because it was much more open minded than Manhattan. I went to college at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) outside Los Angeles. I do live in Kansas the majority of my time, but I also spend portions of the year in Europe and in L.A. Q: Growing up in Kansas, when and how did you get involved in film? A: It was always something I felt very comfortable and confident doing. I wasn't very good at sports or anything else for that matter. Visual storytelling was really the only place I felt at home. My grandfather always had a still camera — taking photos of everything. So I suppose I learned about it that way. Q1 Is 'Tribeca a big accomplishment for you? Why? A: I'm very excited they're showing the documentary about us called "Wamego Strikes Back." Most filmmakers are afraid to be honest and tell it like it is. But I figure somebody should do it. That way maybe we can help others avoid the same mistakes! I think it's really neat when anybody wants to showcase an artist. That it happens to be me is fantastic! Q: How does it feel when someone like Roger Ebert is calling your film "brilliant"? A: It feels like magic. After that, I decided never to worry about what other people think. Q: Why do you choose to make your films without studio support? A: For the freedom. It might take more creativity to figure out how to achieve the same result for nothing - but that's part of the fun for me. We built a gypsy wagon from scratch for "Firecracker" that cost about $150. If we would have had to hire official set builders and painters there's no way wed have been able to do it. Q: Do your films pertain to subjects that college students would appreciate and be interested in? A: I think my project PHONE SEX, which is a documentary I made with Margaret Cho, Ron Jeremy, and a host of others, is the best birthday gift and/or holiday present. Also, PEP SQUAD was my school violence satire. Students tired of the establishment always love that one. Q: Do you have any suggestions for students at the University of Kansas who are interested in film? always other ways to do something.

WWW.KANSAN.COM FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2007 SHORT, BUT NOT ON SKILLS PAGE1B Mangino mines underrated talent BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Jayhawks make bigger schools regret overlooking players By all accounts, Todd Reesing has turned in a five-star performance this season. The sophomore quarterback has scrawled his name all over the Kansas football record books in 2007 and earned Heisman Trophy hype from national and local media. It seems odd that such an outstanding player would don a Kansas uniform. Before this season, the Jayhawks had not been nationally relevant in a decade and Kansas athletics had been synonymous with the hardwood rather than the gridiron. Why did Reesing be a Jayhawk? He was a couple of inches too short. Big 12 Conference powerhouses such as Texas and Nebraska overlooked the 5-foot-11 quarterback in favor of bigger, more highly-touted players. Texas A&M, the team Reesing and Kansas will face Saturday, at least showed enough interest to call the ouarterback. "I think they called me one time — I don't know who it was, one of their coaches or someone — and told me that I wasn't a bigger guy, a faster guy, so I was on their 'B-list of quarterbacks'," Reesing said. "I think that ended that recruited pretty fast. "It's one thing if you don't want to recruit me, but to say that I'm on your 'B-list' is kind of a slap in the face. I didn't take it personal — I wasn't an Aggie fan growing up anyway." At the time, Texas A&M seemed settled on their young quarterback, Stephen McGee, who the team recruited and brought in one year earlier. McGee, listed four inches taller and 20 pounds heavier than Reesing, was rated a four-star (out of five) recruit by Rivals.com. Since taking over as Texas A&M's starting quarterback last season, the fourth-ranked quarterback in the high school class of 2004 has been inconsistent at best. MeeGee is ranked 11th in the Big 12 in passing efficiency this season, is only averaging 142 passing yards per ing and has led a middle-of-the-pack offense to a 6-2 record. Reeing, labeled as a three-star performer by Rivals.com, has helped engineer one of the most phenomenal runs in Kansas football history. The Javahawks are 7-0 and ranked ninth in the BCS standings on the strength of Reeing's arm from Rivals.com. One of those cornerbacks, junior Aigal Tobil, could be selected in the NFL Draft as soon as next April. The other, true freshman Chris Harris, could earn "I never understood why I wasn't looked at by anybody like Oklahoma. I think it was because I didn't have that prototype body." - fourth in the Big 12 in passing efficiency - and improvisational skills (215 rushing yards). CHRIS HARRIS Freshman cornerback "I think the descriptions our guys used when looking at him were 'competitor,'" DENNIS FRANCHIONE Texas A&M football coach "Anybody who didn't recruit him, including us, made a mistake." MACK BROWN Texas football coach Kansas coach Mark Mangino looked past the measurables when he plucked Reesing from Lake Travis High School. When Reesing visited Kansas, Mangino saw a short but scrappy quarterback with game-changing potential. "When he came here he had an engaging personality," Mangino said. "You could tell he was really talented and he knew what he wanted." "I never understood why I wasn't looked at by anybody like Oklahoma" Reesing's intangibles — his leadership ability, football aptitude and knack for escaping the pocket — may not have manifested themselves during Texas A&M's quick phone call three years ago, but the Aggies could catch a glimpse of what they passed up this weekend. DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH freshman All-America recognition at the end of this season. The 6-foot, 180-pound Harris only received offers from Tula, Iowa State and Kansas after high school because schools such as Arkansas and Oklahoma considered him too short to make an impact. Reeing's story is not uncommon among Kansas players. Of the team's 22 offensive and defensive starters, only nine earned three stars as recruits and none qualified as four or five-star players. In fact, Kansas' leading receiver, Marcus Henry, garnered only one star coming out of high school in Lawton, Okla. as major contributors who were passed over because of supposed physical deficiencies. Sharp was deemed too short and Holt dubbed too lanky as high school seniors, but each has stepped into a starting role for the undefeated Jayhawks. Talent level and measurables influence the way Kansas recruits, but character is of the utmost importance, Mangino said. "If you just recruit talented kids and you don't look at the intangibles, those kids aren't always the guys that help you win and they aren't always the best team chemistry guys," Mangino said. "I think we've been successful for the most part in the last few years here recruiting kids that some have great talent and some who are overachievers or hardworking kids that have those intangibles." Harris said. "I think it was because I didn't have that prototype body" Kansas' starting cornerbacks, who anchor the 10th-ranked pass defense in the nation, each earned two stars Prototype body or not, Harris has made quite a splash as the Jayhawks' freshman star, joining junior linebacker James Holt and sophomore running back Jake Sharp Whatever recruiting tactics Mangino has relied upon since arriving at Kansas in 2002 have worked wonders. The coach has elevated Kansas football from the bottom of the Big 12 standings to the top 10 in the BCS rankings with players who are out to prove talent evaluators and opposing coaches wrong each week. — Edited by Luke Morris KANSAS 3 KANSAS 5 Photo illustration by Brenna Hawley All-American cross country team members Colby Wissel and Paul Heffernan have one year remaining with the men's cross country team.

This has been an important race in both of their careers. While the two have received numerous accolades, the pair retains the same persona as the first day they stepped on campus.

I would like to continue running and running is something that I am going to continue to do in the future." While the two will coach together next year, this year they are teammates. As teammates, both respond in the same way when posed the question, "Who is the best person they have ever ran with?" "Colby is the most complete and well-rounded athlete I have ever run with," Heferon said. "He doesn't have off days or off meets and he would be a dream to coach with. He is a dream to train with and you don't have to worry about those inconsistencies with him." Wissel said, "Most of my memories are just on the practice field during everyday runs. Paul is a very hard worker and is someone that is very good to have on your team. Benson and him are the best two people I have ran with and Paul has always been great to train with." Although Wissel is the returning Big 12 Champion, Wissel and Hefferon's careers as Jayhawks are not quite over.

Big 12 'mismatches' top defenses border rivalries weekend focus BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com COLORADO (4-4) AT TEXAS TECH (6-2) The slate of games in the Big 12 Conference this weekend contains so many mismatches that Lubbock, Tex. has turned into the site with the most focus. The Buffalooes enter on a two-game skid and another loss would put coach Dan Hawkins' bowl game aspirations in serious jeopardy. Luckily for Colorado, it seems to be catching the Red Raiders at the right time. Texas Tech junior quarterback Graham Harrell threw four interceptions in an embarrassing 30-point loss to Missouri last week. Harrell's sensational freshman wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who leads the nation in receiving, was held to less than 100 yards for the first time in his collegiate career in the defeat. NO. 9 FLORIDA (5-2) VS. NO. 20 GEORGIA (5-2) (IN JACKSONVILLE, FLA.) Crabtree should prepare for an even tougher task this weekend because Colorado cornerback Terrence Wheatley has proven to be one of the big 12's best. The Gators and Bulldogs enter in a four-way tie for first place. The series has been a source of agony for Bulldog fans lately as the Gators have won 15 of the last 17. Arguably college football's most bitter border rivalry, "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party," will play a significant role in sorting out the chaos in Southeastern Conference east division. But a few new factors give Georgia faithful hope in 2007. In 14 of the last 15 years, Florida came into the rivalry game off of a bye week. Georgia hasn't had the open-week luxury before the Florida game in 16 years. Florida sophomore quarterback Tim Tebow was limited in practice this week because of a shoulder injury, but coach Urban Meyer called it a minor contusion. Georgia's depth in the backfield has been obliterated by injuries. Many wonder if it will force coach Mark Richt to ruin highly-touted freshman running back Caleb King's redshirt. NO. 9 USC (6-1) AT NO. 5 OREGON (6-1) The Trojans' trip to Eugene, Ore. was pointed to as the team's first test before the season began. But now, USC is merely trying to leave Autzen Stadium with a victory to keep its National Championship hopes alive. Last year, the Trojans defeated the Ducks behind then-junior running back Chauncy Washington's three touchdowns. This year, Washington has fought his way to become the Trojan's top threat out of the backfield. USC backup quarterback Mark Sanchez excelled and threw four touchdowns last week. But Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Allotti finds pride in figuring out ways for his players to rush the quarterback. NO. 1 OHIO STATE (8-0) AT NO. 24 PENN STATE (6-2) Buckeye and Nittany Lion players might leave Beaver Stadium covered with bruises and looking like they just lost a street fight. Both of these teams are big, physical and unrelenting. Two of the nation's top candidates for the Butkus Award, given to the nation's best linebacker, lead their respective teams. For Ohio State, it's junior James Laurinaitis, who hunts down opposing running backs ferociously. For Penn State, it's senior Dan Connor, who can detect plays from their inception. Both defenses rank in the top 10 in nearly every major statistical category. The pressure will fall on Buckeye running back Chris Wells and Nittany Lion running back Rodney Kinlaw to give their offenses breathing room. NO. 6 WEST VIRGINIA (6-1) AT NO. 24 RUTGINS (5-2) Last year's triple-overtime shootout between the Moutaineers and Scarlet Knights was one of the most memorable games of the season. This year, both offenses have gotten even better. Scarlet Knight quarterback Mike Teel shook off a rough 2006 campaign, in which he threw 10 interceptions and only two touchdowns, to become the nation's eighth most efficient passer. It helps that he can hand the ball off to senior running back Ray Rice, who averages 140 yards per game. West Virginia added freshman running back Noel Devein to its arsenal of highlight-reel playmakers. And senior wide receiver Darius Reynaud transformed into a top-tier receiver with eight touchdowns and 450 yards. OTHER GAMES: IOWA STATE (1-7) AT NO. 13 MISSouri (6-1) Mizzou senior strong safety Cornelius "Pig" Brown earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors after last week's 14 tackles and three broken up passes. NEBRASKA (4-4) AT NO. 17 TEXAS (6-2) The Cornhuskers and Longhorns are two of the nation's top ten all-time winning programs but both have had a tough 2007 season. Josh Freeman threw for a career-high 404 yards last week and could continue his tear against the Bears' 94th ranked passing defense. BAYLOR (3-5) AT KANSAS STATE (4-3) Standing in the way of Wildcat MISSISSIPPI STATE (4-4) AT NO. 14 KENTUCKY (6-2) quarterback Andre Woodson's ability to boost his Heisman status this weekend is Buldog junior safety Derrick Pegues. NO. 18 CALIFORNIA (5-2) AT NO. 7 ARIZONA STATE (7-9) Scoring nearly 38 points per game, the Sundevils have dominated all their opponents so far. But only one of those teams has a winning record. Huskie sophomore linebacker Lawrence Wilson averages more than 10 tackles per game and must slow the Bulls' 25th ranked rushing offense. NO.11 SOUTH FLORIDA (6-1) AT CONNECTICUT (6-1) NO. 15 SOUTH CAROLINA (6-2) AT TENNESSEE (4-3) Gamecock coach Steve Spurrier is the only coach to win at Neyland Stadium with three different teams. But Spurrier had also never lost to Vanderbilt before last week's 17-6 defeat. NEW MEXICO STATE (4-4) AT NO.16 HAWAII (7-0) Aggie junior receiver Chris Williams, the nation's 14th-leading receiver, will try to ruin the Warriors perfect season. The Golden Gophers rank dead last nationally in total defense, which is good news for Wolverine quarterback Chad Henne, who returned from an injury last week. MINNESOTA (1-7) AT NO. 19 MICHIGAN (6-2) The Cavaliers go into Raleigh, N.C. seeking their eighth consecutive victory, which would set a school record for most straight wins in a season. NO. 21 VIRGINIA (7-1) AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE (2-5) Emotionally decimated after last week's final second loss to LSU, Auburn receives a chance to get back on track against the SEC's only winless team in conference games. COMMENTARY MISSISSIPPI (2-6) AT NO. 23 AUBURN (5-3) Edited by Meghan Murphy Surprising names make up week eight's do-not-play list This weekend's games will showcase some interesting match-ups. Here are the players who will shine and fade on Sunday. Traditionally good players and teams have tough match-ups SHINERS QB Jon Kita, Detroit Lions — Kitna has struggled a little in the past two games, not being able to generate many yards in Mike Martz's pass offense. Kitna guaranteed a 10-victory sea son before the Lions even played a game. If he gets the passing game back up and running, they may make a run for a decent record. Playing 2015 against a lackluster Bears' secondary should help get the Lions passing offense back up to speed. Detroit's wide receivers will create a lot of opportunities for Kitna on Sunday. RB Brandon Jacobs, New York Giants — Jacobs has slowly been integrated back into the Giants' offense since coming back from his injury. He has performed well, and he should explode on Sunday considering the Giants are playing one of the two remaining winless teams in Miami. Jacobs should run over Miami's porous defense, the 31st ranked rushing defense in the NFL. WR Jerricho Cotchery, New Jacobs York Jets — Cotchery has been the more consistent option at wide receiver for the jets this year. Laveranues Coles has been the number one receiver in the past for the Jets, but Cotchery is starting to shine in the Jets' offense. secondary will focus on him more. The Buffalo pass defense though, is the 31st ranked passing defense in the NFL. This should open up the passing After a big week by Coles, Buffalo's Cotchery game for the Jets and Cotchery. New York Giants defense — The Miami Dolphins are terrible. The Giants should have no problem manhandling the Dolphins, especially without their number one offensive option in Ronnie Brown who is out for the season. The Giants have one of the best defensive lines in the NFL and have racked up the sacks after losing the first two games of the season. Rookie cornerback Aaron Ross has boosted the secondary since getting a chance to play, and the whole team is starting to look like the second best team in the NFC. The Giants will ring up a lot of fantasy points against a terrible Miami team on Sunday.

The additions of Nate Clements and Patrick Willis have bolstered the defense and been able to help keep them in games, even if their TIM LEE Mike B. offense can generate any points. The strength of the San Francisco defense could give Bree problems and keep the match-up a low-scoring game. RB Adrian Peterson, Brees players Shiners Shiners Brandon Jacobs 23 carries 131 rushing yards 2 touchdowns Jerricho Cotchery 9 catches 124 receiving yards 1 touchdown Jon Kitma 28/33 329 passing yards 3 touchdowns Faders Adrian Peterson 14 carries 42 rushing yards 1 fumble Donald Driver 4 catches 19 receiving yards Drew Brees 19/27 197 passing yards 1 interception Peterson Minnesota Vikings — Peterson has been the one shining point of Minnesota's offense so far this season. Last Sunday, though, the Vikings did not use him enough. That fact could haunt the Vikings this Sunday as they take on a tough Philadelphia defense that has the eighth rated rushing defense in the NFL. The lack of carries may hurt Peterson going into the game on Sunday, and he may be slow to gain any momentum on the field. WR Donald Driver, Green Bay Packers — The Packers have to face the Broncos on the road this Monday. That alone is cause for concern for Green Bay. Add in that the Broncos have the second best pass defense in the NFL and arguably the best corner in the league as well, and it could be a long day for the Packer offense. The Packers have little running game to speak of, so they rely on Brett Favre and the passing game for most of their offense. Driver, the Packers LAKERS number one receiver, will be matched up against Champ Bailey. Bailey may be the only shutdown corner back in the NFL and will give Driver problems throughout the game Washington defense — Washington has the fifth ranked defense in the NFL. Why would I choose them to be one of the worst performers this weekend then? Well, they draw the unfavorable match-up of the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Patriots have the best offense in the NFL, and they have too many weapons on offense for the Redskins to keep up with. The Redskins will be one of the best defenses in the NFL, but they are no match for the Patriots.

The Jayhawks play host to conference rivals Nebraska and Iowa State on Friday and Sunday respectively. AND THE AWARDS GO TO... Last weekend, Kansas took home a 2-0 victory against Colorado, and a 0-0 tie against Texas. After two shutouts on the road, senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week, and was also named to the Elite Team of the Week by Soccer Buzz. She earned both awards for her six saves against Colorado, and seven saves against Texas. CATCHING UP WITH THE JAYHAWKS Kansas, currently seventh place in the Big 12 standings, can use this weekend to help solidify their position in the Big 12 Championship. Only the top eight Big 12 teams qualify to compete in the championship. After this weekend, Kansas' last game of the regular season will be at home against Missouri on Nov. 2. THE COMPETITION Nebraska is 5-8-3 overall this season, and 1-6 in the Big 12. The Huskers desperately need a victory against the Jayhawks this weekend, as their chances of making it to the conference tournament are getting slim. This could mark the first time ever that Nebraska would not be able to compete at the Big 12 championship. The Huskers have lost six of their past seven games. Iowa State has a 7-5-3 overall record this season, and a 3-3-1 record in the Big 12. The Cyclones are tied for fifth in the conference, three places ahead of the Jayhawks. Iowa State has failed to win a single game on the road this season, instead losing two and tying two. The Jayhawks lead 8-4 in victories over the Cyclones. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE THIS WEEKEND Friday's face-off against the Huskers features Youth Organization Day, which allows anyone under the age of 17 wearing an organization uniform or T-shirt admission for $3. Also on Friday, the first 500 fans to attend receive a free Jayhawk flag courtesy of AT&T. At Sunday's match against Iowa State, the first 100 fans make it to the game receive a free pair of KU Crocs. Sunday is also Big Brothers Big Sisters Day. Any pair of Little with his or her Big gets free admission. Friday's game starts at 3 p.m., and Sunday's starts at 1 p.m. Edited by Jeff Briscoe VOLLEYBALL Suffering team to face Tigers; hopes to return to win column BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com It's been a season of setbacks and obstacles for the Kansas volleyball team. Kansas has suffered an array of injuries and close losses — enough to test the will of any team. Junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart missed 10 games due to a PETER HAYMARK Bechard medical issue, and as soon as Uhart returned to the lineup, sophomore middle blocker Brittany Williams tore her ACL and was lost for the season. Lately, it's been a string of demoralizing losses that have tested the jayhawks. record to 10-12 and 3-8 in the Big 12 conference. The Jayhawks started off the season 7-3 against nonconference opponents, and were 9-5 after splitting their first four conference games. "I think anytime you don't get the results you want, you start to question what you are doing, and wonder what else you could be doing," head coach Ray Bechard said. Kansas will try to get back on track against Missouri at 3 p.m. on Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The game was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. Kansas defeated Missouri 3-2 when the teams met on Sept. 19 in Columbia, Mo. That victory broke a 12-match Kansas losing streak against Missouri. Missouri is 12-9 this season and 5-7 in the Big 12. "After we've played on Wednesday or Saturday, they're right back on the court on Thursday or Monday working to get better," Bechard said. Bechard said that he's been pleased with the way his team has handled its adversity. CLUB SPORTS Men and women's lacrosse teams open the season Edited by Luke Morris The Women's Club Lacrosse team will attempt to elevate its record above last season's performance in its opening tournament this weekend. Last year, the team posted a 15-3 record, only losing one game in the fall season. The Jayhawks will be going to Northern Colorado for a one-day competition and facing teams from Wyoming, Denver University, and Northern Colorado. The Jayhawks are a member of the Central Plains Western Division and frequently face teams from the University of Arkansas, Creighton University, the University of Missouri, the University of Nebraska, and Oklahoma State University. The tournament will take place on Sunday and is free and open to the public. The Men's Club Lacrosse team will travel to Lincoln, Neb., this weekend to play in its first tournament of the fall season Saturday. Proceeds from the Huskers helping Huskers tournament and all will be donated to the Athletic Club Director of University of Nebraska to assist his daughter's medical bills from a recent car crash. The Jayhawks represent the only out-of-state team competing against squads from University of Nebraska at Lincoln, University of Nebraska at Omaha, and Creighton University. The final record of each team decides the champion. Emily Muskin MEN'S GOLF Team ready to rebound in last tournament of season The Men's Golf team prepares to finish its season on a good note when it travels to Wilmington, N.C., to compete in the Landfall Tradition. It's been a long fall semester for the golf squad. The Jayhawks fell hard at the Prestige at PGA West in Palm Springs, Calif., where they posted their second consecutive, last place finish. Head coach Kit Grove believes that the losing streak will end today. "We had a rough first part of the fall season, but we will try to build off our last round in Palm Springs and finish the season on a high note," Grove said. Grove expects Colorado junior Walt Koebel to lead the Jayhawks to finish the season strong. Koelbel is the only KU golfer to play every tournament this fall season. Junior Zach Pederson and sophomore Bobby Knowles will join Koelbel after competing in the 2006 Landfall Tradition. ing from last season, the young Jayhawks will have a tough time competing against teams like top 50, Ohio State. Last year, the Jayhawks finished seventh with two graduated Jayhawks, Gary Woodland and Tyler Docking, finishing in the top ten in the 2006 Landfall Tradition. The Jayhawks tee off in the 54-hole event today through Sunday, playing a single round each day. Kansas ranks 11th in the Big 12, one spot above archival Missouri. Bill Walberg With no top finishers return- SWIMMING Team aiming for revenge against Missouri Tigers A head-to-head match-up with the Missouri Tigers is scheduled for 6 p.m. today in Robinson Natatorium. The KU swimming and diving team is fresh off a fourth place finish at the Big 12 Relays in Ames, Iowa a week ago. The swimmers are trying to claim their second victory in a dual competition after they defeated Northern Iowa on Saturday. The Jayhawks finished just 11 points behind the Tigers at the Big 12 Relays. The team hopes to avenge last year's loss to the Tigers in Columbia. Scott Toland CROSS COUNTRY Teams set goals, hopes for Big 12 Championships This Friday, the Kansas cross country teams head to Lubbock, Texas, for the Big 12 Championships. The men's team has had success in the past, as it returns last year's champion Colby Wissel. While the women's team had higher hopes for last year's performance, its sights are now set on improving Friday. "We really want to try and get sixth this year?" Hayley Harbert, Shawnee senior, said. "If we all run well, we should be able to do that." The men have a little extra confidence, running behind their two All-Americans. While they had individual success last year, assistant coach Doug Clark thinks it will need to be a team effort. "The thing you never know is how other teams are going to run." Clark said. "I think that it is important to have three number-five runners, because your top five runners. I think that based off of looking at other teams, a fifth place finish is very realistic, but if everyone runs like they should, then a third place finish or higher is very possible." The men are set to run at 10 a.m. and the women at 11 a.m. WOMEN'S GOLF Kansas wraps up fall schedule in Tuscaloosa The University of Kansas women's golf team begins play today in the UA-Ann Rhoads Intercollegiate in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The tournament concludes the team's five-tournament fall schedule. Kansas is coming off back-to-back top-five finishes including a victory at the Marilynn Sunflower invitational in Manhattan, Kan., at the beginning of October. The tournament features an 18-team field. Coach Erin O'Neil said she believes the competition the Jayhawks will face will be the best they've competed against all year. The team plans to use what has become a familiar lineup. Senior Annie Giangrosso, sophomore Emily Powers and freshmen Meghna Bal, Grace Thiry and Sydney Wilson all are competing in the three day event in which golfers complete 18 holes each day. O'Nell said she would be satisfied if her team could finish in the top 10 since the level of play is so high. The tournament field includes national powers such as Alabama, Notre Dame, Auburn and Florida. —Andrew Wiebe SPORTS BRIEF Giants and Dolphins play first overseas game LONDON — Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is in Britain this week to support the cause. He thinks it's great that the Giants and Dolphins have come overseas for a regular-season game that will boost the NFL's global image. So, when can we expect to see America's Team in London? Tyler Passmore Jones' take was one of the few sobering opinions to come out of interviews during a conference of international sports leaders being held in conjunction with the NFL's first regular-season game outside North America. "Well, that probably wouldn't work for us," Jones said Thursday of the NFL's newest international marketing project. On deck The majority said the Giants-Dolphins game, scheduled for Sunday at sold-out Wembley Stadium, is a logical and positive next step in a project more than 30 years in the making. The first overseas NFL game was an exhibition contest in Tokyo in 1976. "I wouldn't want to put any kind of number on it," said the NFL's international vice president, Mark Waller, when asked how big this international push could get. "Our job is to give the fans the best we can and evolve and meet their needs." Kansas returns to the road next Wednesday to play Baylor in Waco, Texas. Baylor defeated Kansas 3-2 when the two teams met earlier this season.

The Jayhawks have outscored opponents 321-71 on the way to the program's best start in 12 seasons. With the victories has come national recognition: Kansas is ranked 12th or better in all three major polls and 9th in the BCS standings. BY THE NUMBERS (2007 Averages and National Rank) 45. 9ppg—3rd scoring offense 276. 5ypg—25th passing offense 213. 3.ypg - 16th rushing offense 10. 1 ppg - 2nd scoring defense 178.1 ypg — 10th passing defense 78 ypg — 7th rushing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Junior linebacker Mike Rivera. The outside linebackers and defensive ends will be the key players for Kansas against Texas A&M's patented option-heavy offense. The Aggies have three potent weapons in shifty running back Mike Goodson, hefty running back Jorvorskie Lane and tough quarterback Stephen McGee. Rivera will be one of the Jayhaws responsible for containing a diverse Texas A&M run game that keeps defenses guessing. Rivera Mohammed Abdullah 》 Can Kansas limit the Texas A&M run game? If the Jayhawks can stop Lane, Goodson and McGee at or near the line of scrimmage, the Aggies will be forced to throw the ball. Going to the air hasn't worked out well for Texas A&M this season. >> How will Kyle Field affect the Jayhawks? Texas A&M's Kyle Field is known for its raucous atmosphere and intimidating noise level. Kansas has visited and triumphed in two hostile environments, but the folks in College Station should up the ante this weekend.

The team had trouble establishing the run game against Colorado's speedy front seven and dropped passes and fumbles plagued the receiving corps. But the offense got the job done when it mattered most: The team converted on several third downs late in the game and marched 94 yards on a 15-play drive that stretched the lead to 19-7 with 10.23 remaining. No matter how much everyone else struggles, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing seems unflappable. ★★★☆ DEFENSE A pair of Jayhawks added themselves to the list of defensive heroes last week when junior linebacker James Holt erupted for 15 tackles and junior safety Justin Thornton added seven tackles and an interception. Holt and Thornton's emergence as go-to players only adds to the arsenal defensive coordinator Bill Young has at his disposal. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton could be the best in the Big 12 and Junior linebackers Joe Mortensen and Mike Rivera have improved immeasurably since last season. ★★★★★ SPECIAL TEAMS Kansas' special teams units showed some substantial improvements last weekend. After several weeks of mediocre punting and punt returning, senior punter Kyle Tucker averaged nearly 44 yards per punt and sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb established himself as a decent punt returner last week. Senior kicker Scott Webb earned the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week award for his two-for-two performance on field goals and has made 11-of-12 this season. Most impressive of all, Coach Mark Mangino took extra care to point out his special teamers' exceptional performance at his weekly press conference. ★★★☆ MOMENTUM The Jayhawks aren't just winning, they're impressive. Kansas has blown out every team it has faced at home and pulled off two inspiring and emotional victories over quality opponents on the road. Sitting at 7-0 and No. 9 in the BC5 rankings, the team is poised to add to the annals of the program in a big way. Kansas had not reached 7-0 since 1995 and has not started 8-0 since 1909. Another victory would keep the streak alive and push the team further into the BCS picture. ★★★★ COACHING Whatever Mangino is saying in his pregame speeches is working wonders. The Jayhawks have dealt with success as well as possible, shrugging off questions about bowl-eligibility and downplaying their surge into the national spotlight.Mangin's job is made even easier by the proficiency of his coordinators: Bill Young has some supreme talent on his defense and offensive coordinator Ed Warinner has developed an offense that runs like a well-oiled machine. ★★★ ★★ Texas A&M 6-2, 3-1 Big 12 Conference Long before the spread offense infested college football from coast to coast, the option was the trademark play of the game. In College Station, Texas, the option still reigns supreme. The Aggies run it arguably better than any team in the nation. It all starts with junior quarterback Stephen McGee. McGee has run for more than 88 yards per game in 2007. Big, bruising running back Jorvorskie Lane and lightning-quick running back Mike Goodson have combined to add 130 more yards per game. But last year against Kansas, McGee beat it by throwing the ball. Last year, he was one of the nation's most efficient passers with only two interceptions. This year he's struggled with accuracy and thrown only one more touchdown than interception. The offensive line is understandably bulky, led by All-American Cody Wallace. well-oiled machine. — Asher Fusco James Holt ★★★☆★ OFFENSE DEFENSE At a combined age of 51 years old, Misi Tupe and Mark Dodge are far-and-away the oldest duo of linebackers in the Big 12 Conference. But they don't need to reserve their rooms at the nursing home yet because they can both play. Tupe and Dodge lead the team in tackles with a combined 17 per game. Strong defensive line play keeps offensive linemen from getting to the second level and makes way for the linebackers to gobble up running backs. Up front, Red Bryant and Chris Harrington's size and talent instill fear in their opponents. But Texas A&M's secondary is about as scary as Minnie Mouse.The defensive backfield is giving up an average of more than 265 passing yards per game. It is the one vulnerability of an otherwise sturdy defense. ★★☆★ SPECIAL TEAMS 12 11 Matt Szymanski hasn't exactly had the year he expected. The Aggie sophomore kicker, who was ranked the nation's best kicker out of high school, is only 11-for-18 on field goals and has missed one extra point. Justin Brantley's season is a different story. Brantley ranks second in the Big 12 with 42.6 yards per punt. Both the punt return and kick return teams are unspectacular but solid. ★★★☆☆ MOMENTUM The Aggie momentum is a hard thing to measure right now. Coach Dennis Franchione was caught illegally selling boosters personal information about his players three weeks ago. The question of the season was how his players would respond to the betrayal by their coach. Ss far, the evidence is inconclusive. The Aggies pulled out a close win against Oklahoma State, were demolished by Texas Tech and destroyed Nebraska. No matter how horrendous Nebraska really is, Texas A&M must have taken some pride in beating a nationally renowned program by 21 points last week. COACHING + Franchione's actions are inexcusable. Barring a miraculous finish from his team this season, Texas A&M will likely cut ties with the coach as fast as possible in the offseason. The school has already publicly admonished Franchione for his newsletter. This isn't the first time Franchione has been linked to controversy. In Alabama, he's public enemy number one. Franchione abandoned the Crimson Tide after two seasons because of NCAA sanctions and made the announcement to his team via video conference. ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ Case Keefer A&M KICK-OFF ATAGLANCE BY THE NUMBERS Texas A & M returns to Kyle Field with extra confidence following a 36-14 win against Nebraska on the road. Already bowl eligible, the Aggies focus switches to winning the Big 12 South title. They are currently in a three-way tie for first place but start a four-game stretch against top 20 teams with the Jayhawks Saturday. (2007 Averages and National Rank) 32. 13 $ ^{ppg} $ - 38th scoring offense 154. 75 ypg—111th passing offense 260. 13ypg — 5th rushing offense 22. 75 ppg - 42nd scoring defense 265. 63ypg-100th passing defense 134. 75ypg—42nd rushing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Senior defensive tackle Red Bryant Kansas coach Mark Mangino has spent the week praising Bryant for his outstanding play in the middle of the defensive line. At 332 pounds, Bryant is not much of a factor as a pass YOHANNA SENNOR Bryant rusher. He clogs the middle of the line, however, and makes it impenetrable for opposing running backs. Bryant could single-handedly succeed at stopping Kansas running backs Jake Sharp and Brandon McAnderson and make the Jayhawk attack one-dimensional. QUESTION MARKS >> How can the Aggies slow down James McClinton? In each of Texas A & M's losses, the opposing team has penetrated the line and shut down the running game early. McClinton has done just that in all seven Kansas games this season and is the best defensive linemen that Texas A&M has faced. >> What will Texas A & M do to make Todd Reesing uncomfortable? By all accounts, the Aggie defensive backfield is terrible. The defense also can't get to the quarterback with only nine sacks through eight games.

Those who take it seriously approach the game with strategies and tactics. They regularly compete in tournaments. The Army National Guard uses it to train soldiers because it involves communication and strategy, according to Nancy White, Sergeant First Class of the Kansas National Guard.

Bovda recently helped get $425,000 in federal funding for research at the KU School of Pharmacy. Boyda looks at $21 million addition proposal, supports School of Pharmacy BY DYLAN SANDS dsands@kansan.com Representative Nancy Boyda, D-Kan., visited the University of Kansas on Friday to view a multi-million dollar addition to the University's pharmaceutical program. KU professors presented Boyda with information on how the $21 million addition to the Structural Biology Center would help the University become a major pharmaceuticals manufacturing site. Keith Yehle, director of government rela tions at the University, said the excellent pharmaceutical research being done made the west campus site an ideal place for the new buildings. "The addition will have all of the components of a major drug manufacturer," Yehle said. "The difference is that we work for Kansas, not stockholders." Two new buildings that will house pharmaceutical laboratories, SBC III and SBC IV, are under construction. The KU Center for Research contributed funds for construction of SBC III, and the Kansas Bioscience Authority funded SBC IV. Scott Weir, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, said the labs would work on every stage of drug production. "The goal is to be able to discover, develop and deliver the drugs all from one site," Weir said. Boyda had helped the Structural Biology Center gain $425,000 in federal funding earlier this year. She stressed the importance of further federal funding to continue the research. "I've had the opportunity to travel inter. nationally, and KU's pharmacy program is known worldwide. It opens doors," Boyda said. "This is taking that tradition and giving it a good dose of money." Boyda said the new labs continued Kansas long history of making groundbreaking discoveries. "KU has been at the forefront of cutting-edge research for a long time" Boyda said. "The history goes way back. This is our future." 》 UNIVERSITY SENATE Edited by Chris Beattie Committee considers student assessment test University of Kansas students may be required to participate in an assessment to see how much they learned at the University. Tomorrow, the University Senate Executive Committee will form a task force to look into learner outcome programs. The program would consist of a standardized assessment that outgoing students would take to show their growth while at the University. Bill Crowe, president of the University Senate Executive Committee, said that the task force would begin in the spring Tom Cox, student senator and member of the University Senate Executive Committee, said he was curious to learn about the research done by the task force. and would look into the possibilities of a required standardized test, a portfolio or exit interviews to be done by graduating students. Crowe said that this was part of a nationwide issue in how to assess college students after they graduate.

This event started the series of events leading up to the Homecoming game. Student groups compete during Homecoming week BY ALEXANDRA GARRY Students in various clubs, residence halls and Greek organizations will participate in Homecoming activities tomorrow through Saturday in an effort to win the most points in their respective Student Life or Greek Life categories. The winners in each category will be announced during halftime of Saturday's game. Individual students may also compete in the activities, which include three-on-three basketball, the second annual Medallion Hunt and Chalk'n Rock - the traditional sidewalk mural-drawing event. Prizes are KU t-shirts, gift certificates to local businesses and coupons to campus eateries such as The Underground. Prizes for Wednesday's Jayhawk National Money Station event will include scholarships. Homecoming activities are open to any student group or individual student. In the past fraternities, sororities and scholarship halls have paired up to create a greater number of potential participants. But small groups needn't be discouraged, szid Hollie Dawson, Wichita junior and Homecoming Steering Committee Awards chairwoman. "Participation points are based on percentage, so groups aren't hurt by only having 10 people because, if all 10 people participate, you get the max amount of points," she said. "The only thing that is restricted is the parade. Only the Student Life groups can do banners because they're smaller. We don't expect them to do a moving parts float," Dawson said. New events and new rules for some old events exist this year. Dawson said the committee used survey results to determine which changes to make. Stuff the Bus will replace Canconstruction, the canned food drive, to decrease the budget required for participation, allowing smaller groups to join in, Dawson said. The Jayhawk Nation Money Station and the Halloween costume contest are among this year's other new events, Bill Walberg, Steering Committee co-director. said. Two traditional events - the song and mural contests - will have new procedures this year. Participants in the Jayhawk Jingle are limited to singing one University song and one other song of their choice. Voters for the best Chalk n' Rock mural will be asked for a small donation, which will then be given to United Way. Each event is part of the competition for points and the chance at recognition (and a trophy) for a particular student group. Ashley Moser, Topeka sophomore and Delta Gamma homecoming chairwoman, said the competition title was not the only reason students participate during homecoming week. "Homecoming is a really good opportunity for the fraternities and sororites and other groups to get together and have a friendly competition to show school spirit," she said. "There's also the canned food drive, which is a good opportunity to help others." — Edited by Amelia Freidline and Rachel Gray Homecoming basketball tournament begins today BYVANESSA CUNNINGHAM One of the most appealing aspects of the University of Kansas is its basketball program. Kansas basketball attracts students, alumni, and people from all over the country. During the week of homecoming, however, all students can take a winning shot of their own.

Teams must have at least five players and will play in one of three pools: male, female and co-ed. Greek Life and Student Life are the two organizations to which points will be given. Meghan Easter, co-director of the 2007 Homecoming Week, says the committee expects 30 teams this year, an increase from the 22 teams that participated in 2006.

NO HASSLE FOR YOUR TASSLE Hockett spoke on a panel at the Kansas Journal of Law and Public Policy Fall 2007 Symposium. He presented his paper "Insource the shareholding of 'Outsourced' Employees: A Global Stock-Ownership Plan." Hockett currently works as a professor of law at Cornell University. He said he was excited to be back at the University for a day, but said he couldn't shake the feeling that he was a student again even though he was on the other side of the classroom. "I'm looking for financially engineered means of more equitably sharing the benefits of globalization and then more equitably sharing the risks as well." Hockett said. Hockett has published over a dozen papers since he graduated from the University in 1999. He said he took a seminar course from John Head, professor of law, and he had come up with several ideas while in that course. One idea grew into his first publication in 2002 that landed in the Columbia journal of Transnational Law. Hockett suggested through his research that the international community develop a shareholding plan, similar to plans created by companies such as GM, where the employees hold a portion of the stock in the company. The paper he presented Friday proposed a solution to bridge the gap between the people gaining the most from globalization and the people gaining the least. "It's wonderful, but humbling," Hockett said. Beau Jackson, Wichita graduate student and president of the international law society at the University, moderated one of the panels at the symposium. "I don't really have the expertise to say if it would work or not," Jackson said. "But from a theoretical point it was provocative to say the least, kind of a way to tie domestic law in with the international financial institutions to reach what is obviously a pretty good goal of helping the people who are losing out of globalization." Ahemd Alyousef, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, graduate student, attended the symposium. "They all give good solutions," Alyousef said. "The question is, do these solutions help?"

Personalized announcements and regalia for any degree JAYHAWK BOOKSTORE Hockett said he took advantage of the availability of his professors while studying at the University. He said he would advise current University students to approach their professors to develop a richer and more educational experience.

Crowe said. In the case of the University, Crowe said, it would allow administration to assess how much students learn during their time at the University. The task force, Crowe said, will begin this spring by researching different ways to make learner outcome assessments. He said that they would continue through the summer and fall of 2008 by speaking with different departments and schools throughout the University before delivering a recommendation to the University Senate in December 2008. "Everyone has a stake in this," Crowe said. University Senate is looking into whether students should have to participate in an assessment of how they have developed during their time at the University of Kansas. Possibilities for a learner outcome system are a standardized test that undergraduate students are required to take, a portfolio of work that a student continually adds to throughout his or her undergraduate career or an interview. Crowe said that several schools and departments currently held some exit interviews with outgoing students, but it was not required or standardized throughout the University. Crowe said that the task force would include KU students, faculty and staff. Tom Cox, Shawnee senior and student senator, sits on the Executive Committee of University Senate. He said that an actual implementation of the learner system is years off, and he is skeptical that a standardized test could Learner outcome programs are used in educational institutions and workplaces to assess the development of skills at that institution or workplace. It often involves an outgoing student or worker participating in an interview or test that analyzes knowledge or skills developed. Bill Crowe, special assistant to the dean of library and president of the University Senate Executive Committee, said that tomorrow the Senate Executive Committee would finalize a task force to look into a possible learner outcome program for KU undergraduates. work across the entire University. He said a fine arts major and a history major taking the same test upon graduation would be unfeasible. "I'm curious about it. I definitely have an open mind and will listen to the task force," Cox said. "It's essentially the same theory as No Child Left Behind." Crowe said that the chair of the task force would be Dan Bernstein, director of the Center for Teaching Excellence and professor in applied behavioral science. He said he expected about seven others to be named to the task force. Those people will be determined tomorrow when the Senate Executive Committee meets at 3 p.m. in the Regents Room. Crowe said that assessing students as they graduate is an issue at universities across the country and that the University was ahead of the nation by looking at the issue before the Board of Regents requires it of all universities. "In part, this is coming as a natural progression of assessment, and in, part is coming out of the Board of Regents," Crowe said. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring NASA S Space station finds metal shavings BY MARCIA DUNN ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astronauts doing construction work outside the international space station Sunday made a disturbing discovery: what appear to be metal shavings inside a joint that is needed to turn a set of solar power panels. Tani radioed down that metal shavings were everywhere. The rotary joint, 10 feet in diameter, has experienced intermittent vibrations and power spikes for nearly two months. Space station managers were hoping a thermal cover or bolt might be hanging up the mechanism, which would have been relatively easy to fix, and were disheartened when Daniel "It's quite clear that it's metal-to-metal grating or something, and it's widespread." Tani said. The shavings resembled small flakes and were clinging to the joint as if to a magnet, Tani said. The astronaut used tape to dab up some of the shavings. It will be returned to Earth aboard Discovery next week for analysis. NASA is uncertain whether the flecks are actually metallic, possibly from the aluminum foil lining the thermal covers, or some other material. of the space station, to make sure they're facing the sun. The joint for the left solar wings is working fine. This rotary joint, launched and installed just four months ago, controls the huge solar panel wings on the right side The right rotary joint will remain in a parked position as much as possible until the problem is solved, Mike Suffredini, NASA's space station program manager, said. Flight controllers were trying to determine whether any more inspections or even repairs will be needed in the coming week, or whether they can continue to work around the problem following Discovery's departure. It's too soon to know whether the joint — if it continues to malfunction — will affect science operations aboard the European laboratory that is scheduled to fly to the space station in December, or the Japanese lab that will follow, Suffredini said. 》 PAINTBALL Students pelted, painted BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com FRANKLIN COUNTY — All 296 KU students participating in the free National Guard Paintball Tournament Saturday weaved through and hid behind the same blow-up rubber obstacles. They ran around the same grassy area. They held the same black paintball gun with a case of marble-sized orange paintballs on top. But they didn't all think of paintball in the same way. Paintball can be thought of as a serious sport, a train to train for military purposes or a fun activity. Soden takes paintball seriously. Plenty of Americans would likely place paintball in the same category as ping pong and air hockey, but Soden has seen what makes paintball a real sport. One time he brought an athletic friend to the paintball fields. Put Caleb Soden, Baldwin City sophomore, in the first group. He came to the tournament with a high school friend, Matt Kretzschmer, who goes to Baker University. They'd been playing paintball for the last five years. "He said it gave him more physical activity than football," Soden said. "You'll wake up sore the next day." Soden and Kretzschmer also map out strategies when they play. The goal, they say, is to quickly move to the sides and then fire toward people in the middle. They also said paintball involved lots of communication. That's why the Army likes it. Nancy White, Sergeant First Class for the Kansas Army National Guard, said the Army often used paintball for training. Communication and strategy, two ingredients necessary for good paintball, are also needed for army missions. But White wanted to make sure people didn't link them too much. She said real-life missions aren't all about shooting and that bullets are much more serious than paintballs. For Brian Cordes, Lansing sophomore, and his aerospace engineering friends, painball means something different from White and Soden. It's about fun. Cordes had never even played paintball before Saturday. "It was free paintball," he said, "and I wanted to shoot something." His team, A.E. Thug Life, didn't use any secret tactics. When they did something smart, it was by accident. "I think we had strategy because we're aerospace engineering students," Cordes said, "and we're nerds."

The cloudy system that brought rain to some areas was moving out of the region, and wind up to 15 mph was expected. "Nothing like we were seeing at the beginning of the week," said Daniel Berlant, a spokesman for the California Department of "Everywhere you go in the country you get something. Here we have earthquakes and fires." Forestry and Fire Protection. "This is fire conditions that we can actively fight, unlike the Santa Ana winds." But there was a possibility of strong offshore winds in another seven days, he said. It was the onset of the seasonal Santa Anas — fierce, dry wind blowing from the desert and out to sea — that spread fires across more than 500,000 acres during the week, chasing people from communities as homes burned. woman Kim Oliver said the number included 2,013 homes. With more than a dozen fires fully surrounded, firefighters were pushing to complete lines around seven others. Containment of those blazes ranged from 50 percent to 97 percent. MIKE BARTHOLOMEW San Diego mortgage broker Although fire continued to burn in the Lake Arrowhead region 100 As of Sunday, the state Office of Emergency Services tallied 2,767 structures destroyed. OES spokes- Another big fire in the interior of Orange County, southeast of Los Angeles, was half surrounded. A blaze 60 miles miles east of Los Angeles, an evacuation order for much of the area was lifted Sunday. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Saturday visited a command post near Orange County's Santiago Canyon fire to announce assistance for people with losses, warn of contracting scams, and pledge to find whoever set the nearby blaze that continued to threaten homes after destroying 14. northeast of San Diego stopped its advance toward the mountain town of Julian. Addressing controversy over state rules that caused delay in getting military aircraft into use against the fires, Schwarzenegger said it sometimes took disaster "to really wake everyone up." "There are things that we could improve on, and I think this is what we are going to do because a disaster like this ... in the end is a good vehicle, a motivator for everyone to come together," he said. Seven deaths have been directly attributed to the fires, including those of four suspected illegal immigrants, whose burned bodies were found near the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday. Eleven Mexicans were being treated at a San Diego hospital for burns suffered in the wildfires after crossing the border illegally, the Mexican government confirmed Saturday. Four were in critical condition. About 4,400 people remained in 28 shelter sites in Southern California, while others waited out the fires in makeshift encampments. In the Rancho Bernardo section of San Diego, mortgage broker Mike Bartholemew, 37, removed rotten food from his refrigerator Saturday as he waited for cleaners to vacuum soot from inside his home, which survived the flames. Bartholemew said it was eerie to be surrounded by ruined homes but he was anxious to come back home as soon as electricity was restored. "I could move to Indiana, but they have tornadoes and floods," he said. "Everywhere you go in the country you get something. Here we have earthquake and fires." INTERNATIONAL Newspaper discovers Gap sweatshop ASSOCIATED PRESS trainees. LONDON — Clothing retailer Gap Inc. said Sunday that it would convene all of its Indian suppliers to "forcefully reiterate" its prohibition on child labor after a British newspaper found children as young as 10 making Gap clothes at a sweatshop in New Delhi. The Observer newspaper quoted the children as saying they had been sold to the sweatshop by their families in Indian states such as Bihar and West Bengal and would not be allowed to leave until they had repaid that fee. Some, working as long as 16 hours a day to hand-sew clothing, said they were not being paid because their employer said they were still Gap said it first learned of the child labor allegations last week and discovered the sweatshop was being run by a subcontractor that a vendor had hired in violation of Gap's policies. The product made there will be destroyed so it cannot be sold in Gap stores, company spokesman Bill Chandler said. "We appreciate that the media identified this subcontractor, and we acted swiftly in this situation," Chandler told The Associated Press on Sunday. "Under no circumstances is it acceptable for children to produce or work on garments." The Observer quoted one boy identified only as Jivaj as saying that child employees who cried or did not work hard enough were hit with a rubber pipe or had oily oils stuffed into their mouths. The paper said the sweatshop that it found during its investigation in New Delhi was "smeared in filth, the corridors flowing with excrement from a flooded toilet." The Observer printed a photograph of one of the child workers, and British Broadcasting Corp. television broadcast what it said was footage of the youngsters taken at the sweatshop. Gap did not immediately cut ties with the supplier it accused of improper subcontracting, but Chandler said the company was taking the breach of its child labor policies "extremely seriously."

OCEAN ISLE BEACH, N.C. — An intense fire ravaged a beach house packed with college students early Sunday, killing seven and leaving little left of the structure but its charred frame and the slits on which it stood. Officials at the University of South Carolina said six of the students who died were from the school in Columbia; the seventh attended Clemson University. The six who survived were also from USC. The private home was being used by the owner's daughter and a BY ESTES THOMPSON ASSOCIATED PRESS Six survivors were hospitalized and released, including one who jumped from the burning home and into a waterway, Mayor Debbie Smith said. Winds blowing flames over the water, and not toward any of the other residences on the tightly packed row of vacation homes, kept the fire from spreading. Flames kill 7 college students, ravage waterfront residence The fire struck the house sometime before 7 a.m. and burned completely through the first and second floors, leaving only part of the frame standing. The waterfront home — named "Changing Channels" — was built on stilts, forcing firefighters to climb a ladder onto the house's deck to reach the first living floor. Smith said the house was a total loss. FIRE "We ran down the street to get away," said Nick Cain, a student at the University of North Carolina who was staying at a house about 100 feet away. "The ash and the smoke were coming down on us. We were just trying to get away." The fire appears to have affected two Greek organizations from the university — the Delta Delta Delta sorority and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, Pruitt said. Earlier in the day, a minister at the sorority house declined to comment, as did an adult who answered the door at the fraternity house. Cain was one of the dozens of college students who filled at The intense heat kept Burns and others from attempting a rescue, although he said he had to fight to keep several of those who escaped from trying. Authorities erected a blue tarp to block the view of the fire scene, but neighbor Bob Alexander said he saw investigators removing bodies from the remnants of the home early Sunday afternoon. ASSOCIATED PRESS --- least four houses within a block of the burned home. Neighbor Jeff Newsome said the students were going back and forth between the houses all weekend long. When he approached the front door, he said, it was too hot to open. The victim's bodies were to be taken to the state medical examiner's office in Chapel Hill. Authorities from the State Bureau of Investigation and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are leading the investigation, said Randy Thompson, Brunswick County's emergency services director. "It's a very sad day for the University of South Carolina family," said Dennis Pruitt, dean of students. "We're deeply saddened by this." group of her friends, Smith said. "It's terrible to see somebody's children come out of that house this way," Alexander said. Only about 500 people live there year-round, but the town is home to several thousand rental and vacation homes and condos. The home had working smoke detectors, Smith said. Ocean Isle Beach is at the far southern end of North Carolina's Atlantic Coast, about 30 miles north of Myrtle Beach, S.C. The burned home sits on one of a series of peninsulas, all tightly packed with homes, that are about two blocks from the beach and connect with the Intracoastal Waterway.

SIX YEARS IN UNDERGRAD Stephen Colbert for president in 2008 The comedian's decision to run in the South Carolina primary livens up the race BETSY MCLEOD Imagine a country overflowing with prosperity and peace, where children of all religions hold hands and sing songs about truth and freedom. Imagine a land free of polarity, bigotry and religious oppression and devoid of bow-tie pasta, Canadians and bears. Welcome to the United States of Colbertica. On Tuesday, Oct. 16, Stephen Colbert announced his official entry into the 2008 race for the presidency, making next year's elections the easiest decision you've ever made. For the first time since I became old enough to vote, I feel like I'm being screwed. Stephen Colbert has, over the years, courted and romanced me, and with his abundant gifts of chocolate-covered truthiness, he has wooed me into his political bedroom. He is the ideal candidate; a statuesque model of core Christian-American morals and the embodiment of the traditional upper-class American Dream. He denounces partisan politics by refusing to run under a Democratic or Republican ticket, instead choosing the foolproof route to run as both. He is the most honest and open of all the current frontrunners, and prides himself on his unwavering stance on all things American. Establishing a Colbert Nation is the only way to fix all of America's problems. We need a leader who tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth—even if it's false. We need a leader with the conviction and courage to rule with an iron fist in a velvet glove; unmerciful to those who do harm to our great country and gentle to the faithful Colberticans who accept the truth without question or doubts based on silly facts. Mr. Colbert is smart enough to ignore these ever-changing proven truths, once saying, "I'm not a fan of facts. You see, the facts can change, but my opinion will never change, no matter what are the facts." Enough of the so-called leaders who choose to base their decisions on these wishy-washy facts; we need a president that will follow in George W. Bush's footsteps and make facts based on air-tight decisions. Some might argue that this new approach to democracy resembles an authoritarian dictatorship that condemns the very backbone of the Constitution. These doubters have no reason to worry because once Mr. Colbert is inaugurated, the old Constitution will be burned and replaced by the new Colberttitution. If you share these dreams of slightly-oppressive但true freedom, there is no other choice; vote Colbert 2008. In the words of the aforementioned genius himself, "I'm looking over your shoulder—but only because I've got your back." McLeod is an Overland Park senior in journalism and Middle Eastern Studies. In order to control the population problem, anyone who disagrees with the new laws and statutes of the new Colbertstitution will be deported to northern Canada; they have enough empty space to accommodate all the felons and dissenters in the world. And the immigration issue? Colbertica has a solution: we will welcome all illegal immigrants on the condition that they spend at least two years helping to build the Great Wall of Colbert spanning the U.S.—Canadian border. Our new foreign policy? Non-existent. Mr. Colblen said it himself, "If our Founding Fathers wanted us to care about the rest of the world, they wouldn't have declared their independence from it." The budget deficit? Once Mr. Colbert is in office the budget deficit will be erased. That's all you need to know, the rest is executive privilege.

Let's see who comes up with the wittiest comment about points finally being on the board. I haven't seen that since 1909! Too much TV,too much imagination Crime drama shows are hugely entertaining, but there can be too much of a good thing ANNIE SIMMERMON a few months back, in the middle of the night, I bolted straight up in a cold sweat. "Too much CSI!" I said, without hesitation. As I lay back down, the picture of my dead, mangled corpse still loomed in my brain. How many times have we all heard the whole, "there's too much violence on TV" spiel? I always thought all that talk was a bunch of bologna, I mean, I played "Goldeneye" like eight hours a day as a kid and you don't see me going around and shooting people in the head with a moonraker laser. However, recently I had to rethink my opinion of violence in the media, after a distressing realization. I love to watch two TV programs: "CSI" and "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit." After a long hard day, it's like a sweet release. There's nothing like brutal homicides and rough-around-the-edge detectives to kick back and relax to. The worst is the Sunday night marathons. I can easily watch for four hours and be completely enthralled with the gory scenes in front of me. "She did it!" I'll say, or "Come on Stab, you've got the wrong perp, this psycho's throwing you for a loop." GSW and through and through have become part of my everyday vernacular, along with referring to characters by homemade nicknames such as Liv and Stab. So what's changed? I've watched these shows for years but recently I've found they are staying with me longer than I would like. These shows have worked themselves into my way of life. General terms such as DB, As the seasons progress, the ideas for crimes are running out, and each season gets more gruesome and more disturbing, yet I can't stop watching. Now, if I watch too many episodes at a time I can't sleep at night. I am convinced that there is a stalker living in my attic, and every ambient noise in my house turns into someone breathing or rustling around downstairs. I've tried everything, but the paranoia has only gotten worse. Now, sometimes I'm too scared to get up to go pee in the middle of the night so I just lay in bed waiting to be raped while trying really hard not to pee the bed. Something has to be done! So I guess in the end I've decided this might be a personal problem, and the solution while simple might be easier said then done. Maybe I AM watching too much "CSI" and maybe I should just not watch so much. I'll force myself to stop after one episode, yes that's it, one episode a day. Well, maybe two, but only if they're over by eight o'clock; that way I can watch something happy like Global Guts on Nick GAS or American Gladiators on ESPN Classics. Or maybe I'll just put bars on the windows and wear earplugs. Simmermon is a Leawood senior in journalism. DRAWING BOARD MARK MANGINO: 8-0 MAX RINKEI GUEST EDITORIAL KU Endowment responds to editorial The Kansan's recent editorial concerning spending by KU Endowment contained numerous factual errors and showed a lack of understanding about our spending policies. During fiscal year 2006, KU Endowment provided $99 million to the university, not $56 million, as stated in the editorial. That's because we didn't just spend 5.6 percent of the endowment, we added funds given by donors for immediate use, as we do every year. In fiscal 2007, we provided a similar amount, except for an increase in student support and a decrease in construction support because of fewer building projects. The editorial mentions that most high-end donors are interested in "vanity projects." but the facts don't support this notion. Some notable recent gifts to KU Endowment include $5 million in scholarships for low-income students, $2.1 million in scholarships for engineering and computer science majors, and $4.4 million for a new scholarship residence hall. Many KU students are unaware that virtually all scholarships and awards came from donors. In fact, more than 5,000 students today benefit from scholarships, fellowships and awards from KU Endowment. Student support accounts for more than a quarter of the funds we provided to KU last fiscal year, and the desire to help students motivates many alumni and friends to give generously to the university. However, while donors can help, they cannot be held accountable for making up for recent tuition increases caused by a decrease in state support. Over the years, our sound spending rate has enabled KU Endowment to provide a total of $1.4 billion to KU. During fiscal year 2006, our support amounted to $4,117 per full time student, double that of nine peer institutions in the Big XII and Big 10. It enhanced everything from the quality of the faculty to academic programs, library books, equipment and new facilities, all of which benefit students, even though it may not be in the form of scholarships. We encourage students to visit kuendowment.org to learn more about the impact of private philanthropy at KU. ey: it's thousands of individual funds, each designated by a donor for a specific purpose and established to last in perpetuity. An endowment for a professorship cannot be used for a scholarship, and vice versa. If we don't honor donors' intents, we would lose their trust. And without that, our ability to raise money in the future would disappear. Moreover, the endowment is not just one vast pool of mon- Ultimately, our responsibility is to ensure that KU's endowment is here not just for today's students, but for many generations to come.

Smith 1 8A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS MONDAY,OCTOBER 29,2007 INTERNATIONAL Kurdish rebels raid in Turkey BY SUZAN FRASER ASSOCIATED PRESS ANKARA, Turkey — Attack helicopters buzzed over a hilly region in southeastern Turkey on Sunday looking for Kurdish rebels after troops reportedly killed 15 separatist guerrillas in a morning operation far from the increasingly tense border with Iraq. The fighting occurred in the predominantly Kurdish province of Tunceli, as the government pressed on with its efforts against the Kurdistan Worker's Party, or PKK, whose fighters have killed at least 42 people in the past month in raids on Turkish territory. Turkey has threatened to send troops into Iraq to hunt down the rebels, and has demanded the extradition of PKK leaders. The United States, Iraq and other countries have been pressing for Turkey to refrain from cross-border operations. The top American commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, said Sunday the U.S. military was playing a role in trying to defuse the tensions, but he declined to elaborate. "I am actually not going to say "For the most part both the Iraqi and the Turkish government, as well as the U.S. government are dealing with the challenges," he said at a news conference after formally assuming command of northern Iraq at a ceremony at a U.S. base near Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikit, 80 miles north of Baghdad. In Turkey, pressure has been building on Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to take action, with anything about what we may be doing with our long-standing NATO allies Turkey, although we clearly are doing things with them," he said. Erdogan called for unity between Turks and his country's minority Kurds Sunday, but reiterated his government's determination to fight Iraq-based separatist Kurdish rebels. The comments seemed aimed at allaying Turkish frustration, piqued on Friday when the American military commander in northern Iraq, Mai, Gen. Benjamin Mixon, said he planned to do "absolutely nothing" to counter Kurdish rebels operating from the region. Mixon handed over regional command to Maj. Gen, Mark Hertling on Sunday as scheduled. After the ceremony, Hertling told reporters that it would be "inappropriate" for him to discuss possible military measures while "diplomatic efforts are ongoing." "As long as we are firmly bound together, the treacherous separatist terrorist attacks will never reach their goal," Erdogan said in a message ahead of the Oct. 29 celebrations to mark the 84th anniversary of the Turkish republic. tens of thousands of Turks staging anti-PKK protests in recent weeks. ASSOCIATED PRESS A 9-mile race across Istanbul's Bosporus bridge to the European side of the city turned into an anti-PKK protest Sunday, with thousands of runners waving Turkish flags and shouting slogans denouncing the rebels. "I want to declare this one more time: The struggle we lead against the separatist terrorism that aims to destroy our unity and our constitutional order will continue with belief and determination," he said. But riot police cracked down quickly on a pro-PKK rally in the poor Okmeydani neighborhood of Istanbul, shooting tear gas into the crowd and dispersing the 150 demonstrators. Some young men then threw rocks at police before running into side streets. A ship on a rocky coast. The sea is calm and there are no waves breaking against the shore. A Turkish soldier stands guard at a military post in Cukurca, in the Hakka province, on the Turkish-Iraqi border, southeastern Turkey on Saturday. Turkey's top military commander, Gen. Yasar Buykanit, had promised to make Iraq-based Kurdish rebels "grieve with an intensity that they cannot imagine," while Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his nation would fight "when needed," regardless of international pressure. Tunceli is some 340 miles northeast of the province of Sirnak and 400 miles northeast of the province of Hakkari, the places where most of the recent fighting with the rebels has taken place. Sirnak and Hakkari border Iraq. Before the fighting in Tunceli, the Turkish military blocked roads into the region with armored personnel carriers and soldiers. By afternoon, long lines of trucks were backed up waiting to get through. Fifteen rebels were killed in the operation, according to the private Dogan news agency, which was at the scene. A regional official confirmed the Turkish military conducted an operation against rebels, but declined to provide further details. IRAQ U.S. hands over reigns in southern Shiite province Karbala becomes 18th province to return to Iraqi hands BAGHDAD — U.S. forces will turn over security to Iraqi authorities in the southern Shite province of Karbala on Monday, the American commander for the area said, despite fighting between rival militia factions that has killed dozens. The fighting broke out after calls from imams at local mosques to expel al-Qaida from the area, labeling them as "false mujahdeens" or false holy warriors, according to a provincial police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information. But the target date has slipped repeatedly, highlighting the difficulties in developing Iraqi police forces and the slow pace of economic and political progress in areas still troubled by daily violence. A bomb struck a mainly Shiite town southeast of Baghdad on Saturday for the second time in less than a week, the deadliest attack on a day in which at least 23 people were killed or found dead. In northern Iraq, clashes broke out between al-Qaida in Iraq fighters and a rival Sunni group near the volatile city of Samarra, and police said some 16 militants were killed. BY KIM GAMEL ASSOCIATED PRESS Also Saturday, the U.S. military announced the death of an American soldier killed Thursday during small arms fire during operations in the Salahuddin province, a mainly Sunni area north of Bashdad. Karbala will become only the eighth of Iraq's 18 provinces to revert to Iraqi control, despite President Bush's prediction in January that the Iraqi government would have responsibility for security in all of the provinces by November. Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, who leads the 3rd Infantry Division, said the Iraqis were ready to assume full control of their own security in Karbala province, home to shrines of two major Shiite saints, Imam Abbas and Imam Hussein. U.S. troops would remain ready to step in if help were needed. Lynch dismissed concerns about Shiite rivalries in the region, two months after clashes between militiamen battling for power erupted during a major pilgrimage in the provincial capital, also called Karbala, left at least 52 people dead. "Of course there's violence in the area but not nearly of the magnitude that would cause me to be troubled by it," he told The Associated Press on Saturday. "This place is about a struggle for power and influence and there are indeed inter-Shaia rivalries where different groups are trying to be in charge and sometimes they revert to violence, but it's not at the magnitude that's got me concerned," he said during a visit to a patrol base being constructed in Nahrawan, a Shiite city of 120,000 on the southeastern edge of Baghdad. Karbala, 50 miles south of Baghdad, has faced several bombings that have killed dozens of people since the Sunni insurgency began in the late summer of 2003, just months after the U.S.-led invasion in March. It also was the site of one of the boldest and most sophisticated attacks on U.S. soldiers in the war in Iraq, when gunmen driving American SUVs, speaking English, wearing U.S. military uniforms and carrying American weapons abducted four U.S. soldiers at the provincial headquarters and later shot them to death. A fifth soldier was killed in the Jan. 20 attack. More recently, Karbala has been a focal point for rising tensions throughout the mainly Shiite south among rival groups maneuvering for power over the oil-rich area that also profits from religious tourism. But Lynch, who commands a volatile mix of Sunni and Shiite areas south of Baghdad, said the Iraqis were ready to take over. "They've established a Karbala operations command that works with the Iraqi prime minister, and when security problems arise it's the Iraqi solution to the problem, not the coalition solution to the problem," he said. The provincial police chief, Brig. Gen. Raed Shakir, said more than 10,000 Iraqi security forces were "fully prepared" to maintain order. 1 N » "During the past days, our forces were able to confront and chase armed groups without the help of the multinational forces. We were able to restore security by our own. This shows that we can work independently from the multinational forces," he said. In January, Bush announced his new strategy for stabilizing Iraq and his decision to send an additional 30,000 U.S. combat troops to Baghdad and to Anbar province. He, said, at the time, that the Iraqi government "plans to take responsibility for security in all of Iraq's provinces by November." The Pentagon later amended that to next March, and then again to at least next July. Last year, the relatively peacefuil southern provinces of Muthanna, Dhi Qar and Najaf were returned to Iraqi security control. In April, Maysan province in the southeast was the fourth to convert.

The black treasure transformed this once-isolated crossroads nestled in the sand-sculpted ravines of Inner Mongolia into a bleak boomtown of nearly 300,000 people. Day and night, long and dusty trains haul out coal to electric power plants and factories in the east, fueling China's explosive growth. Coal is big, and getting bigger. As oil and natural gas prices soar, the world is relying ever more on the cheap, black-burning mainstay of the Industrial Revolution. Mining companies are racing into Africa. Workers are laying miles of new railroad track to haul coal from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana. And nowhere is coal bigger than in China. borders and polluting the food chain. So far, attempts to clean up coal have largely not worked. Technology to reduce or cut out carbon dioxide emissions is expensive and years away from widespread commercial use. But the explosion of coal comes amid rising alarm over its dire consequences for workers and the environment. An average of 13 Chinese miners die every day in explosions, floods, fires and cave-ins. Toxic clouds of mercury and other chemicals from mining are poisoning the air and water far beyond China's "Not very many people are talking about what do we do to live with the consequences of what's happening," said James Brock, a longtime industry consultant in the Beijing office of Cambridge Energy Research Associates. "The polar bears are doomed — they're going to museums. At the end of this century the Arctic ice cap will be gone. That means a lot of water rising, not by inches but meters." Burned since ancient times, [Image of two soldiers on a truck, one sitting and speaking on the phone, the other walking away]. Chinese coal workers load coal on to a truck in Baotou, nestled in the sand-sculpted ravines of Inner Mongolia, China on May 8. ASSOCIATED PRESS coal dramatically increased in use during the Industrial Revolution, when it became fuel for the new steam engines, gas lamps and electrical generators. Worldwide demand for coal dipped at the end of the 20th century, but is now backed up and projected to rise 60 percent by 2030 to 6.9 billion tons a year, according to the International Energy Agency. Today, most coal goes to electrical power plants. In developing nations such as India, China and Africa, coal is the staple — and affordable — source of fuel with which families run their first washing machines and televisions. Worldwide electricity consumption is expected to double by 2030, the World Energy Council says. In America, about 150 new coal-fired electrical plants are proposed over the next decade. In China, there are plans for a coal-fired power plant to go on line nearly every week. Emissions from these plants alone could nullify the cuts made by Europe, Japan and other rich nations under the Kyoto Protocol treaty, according to a report from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington. In a developing country like China, coal is the backbone of the energy system. China mined a record 2.4 billion tons of coal in 2006, up 8.1 percent from a year earlier. But even that can't keep boilers and blast furnaces stoked in an economy growing more than 10 percent a year. So China became a net coal importer for the first time this year. While Chinese authorities are closing down older, heavily polluting plants, they can't keep up with a massive expansion in urban housing and industry and the coal that feeds them. China is the world's biggest consumer and producer of coal, but it's far from the only one. U.S. coal production hit a record 1.2 billion tons last year, according to the National Mining Association, and is forecast by the government to rise 50 percent by 2030. Rising demand can be met because coal is the Earth's most abundant fossil fuel, with reserves expected to last some 250 years — far longer than forecasts for petroleum. And whether in China, India, the United States or Europe, coal is available at home, away from the instability of the Middle East. "The U.S. has under its own soil at least a 200-year supply of coal. China has a very long-term supply of coal," Steve Papermaster, co-chairman of the energy committee of President Bush's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology, told a recent conference in Shanghai. For several years, cleaner burning natural gas appeared a promising substitute. But soaring prices and worries over the reliability of Mideast and Russian supplies have dimmed the promise of that option. Alternatives such as wind and solar power are getting cheaper but still can't compete with coal. Most experts believe that whatever the costs to the environment and public health, coal is with us to stay. "The question is not about putting a line through coal and saying we're not going to use it," said Milton Catelin, chief executive of the London-based World Coal Institute, an industry association. "There's a future for coal. The developing world will have to use coal. They need cheap energy to get ahead." The solution Catelin and others in the industry are pushing is clean technology, although they admit they are late to the game. "The decade 1997-2007 was a lost decade" for clean coal technology, Catelin conceded. "We should have done much more. Now we're playing catch-up." The need is clear. In the provincial steel town of Baotou, trucks heaped high with coal rumble into Shenhuya yards, dumping their loads into huge sieves for sorting into various grades of quality and size. Wind gusts whip black soot into the sky, thickening the layer of smog from the city's smelters. The U.S. and Chinese governments are subsidizing the development of technology that converts coal to a clean-burning gas before it is burned. But such plants still emit ample amounts of carbon dioxide, notes Qian Jingjing, an expert with the Natural Resources Defense Council in New York and co-author of the report "Coal in a Changing Climate." But there is growing awareness of the problem. In both the West and India and China, traditional utilities and new players are investing in wind and solar power. Consumers may balk at having to pay more for electricity from "clean coal" plants, either through higher rates or taxes. Meanwhile, in Jungar Qi, the house-sized mine trucks rumble on, rushing their multi-ton loads of coal to railways and coal yards. The biggest landmark in the city — the two huge smoke-stacks of its coal-fired power plant.

Kansas alumnus enters new career, receives unexpected job opportunities BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com C. J. Moore walked into the Coors Field home clubhouse on June 1, two weeks after his graduation from the University of Kansas School of Journalism, and began introducing himself to Colorado Rockies players. Todd Helton, the team's star first baseman and elder statesman, fresh out of the shower and clad only in a towel wrapped around his waist, turned around, dropped his towel, and shook the newcomer's hand. Moore, shaken but courteous, reached for Helton's hand. The five-time All-Star then pulled the beauliguer 22-year-old in for the hug — completely nude. Welcome to the Majors, kid Helton, whose power has slowly dissipated over the years, went deep the night of Moore's hug — one of only 17 home runs this year. "Coincidence?" Moore asked. "I think not."

The Rockies, of course, were playing on borrowed time after a frenzied late-season push propelled them into a one-game playoff with San Diego. After the team's 9-8, 13 inning victory, Moore described a wild locker room celebration that lasted into the Rocky Mountain's morning hours. "Jorge Julio was nice enough to spray me with champagne in the eyes -the same Julio that almost prevent the Rockies from making the playoffs."

"So he can't hit the strike zone but he can hit me in the eye with champagne. I was a little frustrated with lorge." Moore left the stadium that evening, eyes stinging and drenched in champagne and beer, with a soggy notebook and blurry notes. He learned his lesson when the they are is sports biganists.

MOORE 2007 graduate Moore said he appreciated the World Series as an "event" but missed the intimacy of the regular season. Rockies beat reporters receive markedly less access during the playoffs and must share a crowded press box with a bevy of national media. One of Moore's favorite activities during the season was observing fan bases from opposing team's making the trip to Coors Field. He said Cubs fans were absolutely obnoxious alcoholics and that more people were kicked out of the stadium for fighting during the Chicago series than the rest of the season combined.2h winner, the team in my town isn't good, and so I will root for the Yankees.' It is an awful thing to do — like spitting in your mother's face." Moore, who won 5th in spot news and 2nd in sports writing in the national Hearst Awards while at Kansas, has had conversations with varied baseball luminaries such as Bob Uecker, Woody Paige, Jay Mariotti, Jayson Stark, George Brett, Lou Pinella and Scott Boras while in Colorado. Moore was initially nervous when writing stories for the team, but the feeling quickly dissipated as the summer wore on. He said it became easier to interview players because of familiarity. The Kansas alumnus understands the good fortune of his current situation. "If I never get to cover a World Series again, that will be OK," Moore said. "Who would have thank that I come out to Colorado, who hadn't made the playoffs since 1995, and are now at this point?

The thesis he wrote for his master's became a book called "Last of the Moccasins." Milton's invites Charles Plymell to read several poems from recent collection While the University celebrates its annual homecoming week, poet Charles Plymell will have one of his own. Plymell, a Kansas native and one of the living authors of the 1950s and 1960s beat generation, will read his latest works at 7 tonight at Milton's, 920 Massachusetts St. BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com Patricia Marvin, a fan and personal friend of Plymell, said the poet had a lot to offer. "In 'Last of the Moccasin', there is a passage about Lawrence which was really pretty cool," Bentley said. "He's a very exciting man," Marvin said, "He has a lot of spiritual scent in his writing, and that makes it very interesting." Danny Bentley, a reader of Plymell's work, said he was intrigued by Plymell's poetry and by the local roots of the writer. --- Plymell was born in Finney County. His mother was American Indian, and his father was an Oklahoma cowboy. He briefly attended Wichita State University before he dropped out and went on to earn his master's degree in writing at The John Hopkins Writing Seminars. During that time, he wrote his master's thesis, which became his book "Last of the Moccasins." "I think that going to certain events can be good," Ashcraft said. He said poets who steered away from typical topics such as love tended to be more successful because their onics were out of the norm. "I got into him because he has a Kansas connection, a Lawrence connection." "He always takes on things with such an interesting or personal appeal," Marvin said. "It's probably why other know and care so much about him." "I know it was last-minute, but it will be a lot of fun," Marvin said. "He has a real authentic voice and people need to hear it if they haven't." Plymell, who was unavailable for comment because he was traveling Sunday, will perform and spend time in Lawrence for the first time since 1997. Marvin said although the event came with late notice, she still hoped students would attend. Plymell, who has been writing poetry for more than half a century, has spent time living around the country, including San Francisco and New York City, and was named Most Promising Poet of 1976 in the World Book. Marvin said Plymell's writings were original pieces of work. Salane Ashcraft, Rogers, Ariz. sophomore, also a poet himself, said bringing original poets to town had its perks. — Edited by Kaitlyn Syring SUDAN ALFRED DE MONTESQUIOU ASSOCIATED PRESS SIRTE, Libya — Sudan's government committed to a cease-fire in Darfur at the start of peace talks Saturday, but mediators and journalists outnumbered the few rebels who did not boycott the U.N.-sponsored negotiations, reducing hopes for an end to the fighting. The large government delegation said its cessation of hostilities was a sign of goodwill for negotiations aimed at ending over four years of fighting in the western Sudanese region. But the pledge was not matched by the rebels, whose main leaders all refused to attend the talks. Rebels boycott ceasefire in Darfur "The government of Sudan is proclaiming as of now an unilateral cease-fire in Darfur," said Sudanese chief envoy Nafie Ali Nafie. "We shall not be the first ones to fire arms." The U.S. special envoy for Sudan, Andrew Natsios, praised the government for its pledge, but cautioned that dozens of previous cease-fire declarations in Darfur have been broken by both government troops and rebel factions. Some 20 rebels were present in the vast conference hall in the Libyan coastal town of Sirte. Ahmed Diraige, the head of an obscure faction known as the Sudan Federal Democratic Alliance, spoke on behalf of the rebels and stated the groups present were also willing to consider a cease-fire. But with the absence of major rebels, hopes faded for a quick peace agreement. Mediators downplayed the conference's goals, saying the focus would now be to "create conditions" for effective peace talks. Mediation spokesman Ahmed Fawzi warned it would be "a long process."

Jon Goering/KANSAN Jayhawks dominate ground battle, move to 8-0 for first time since 1909 BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com COLLEGE STATION, Texas – For the Texas A&M Aggies, few things are more simple than converting on fourth-and-short: put Jorvorskie Lane in the backfield, hand him the ball, and let the 274-pound wrecking ball of a running back do the rest. When Texas A&M head coach Dennis Franchione put the tactic to use late in the second quarter, he failed to account for Kansas defensive tackle James McClinton As was the case many times on Saturday night, McClinton and the Kansas defense came up with a big stop on a crucial play on the way to 19-11 victory. Kansas (8-8, 4-0) cemented its best start to a season since McClinton 1909, snapped a seven-game losing streak to Texas A&M (6-3, 3-2) and defeated a Big 12 South opponent on the road for the first time in the Mark Mangino era. The win slid Kansas into eighth in the AP and Coaches' Polls as well as the BCS rankings. With just more than three minutes remaining in the first half and the score tied at zero, Texas A&M had finally found some offensive rhythm. The Aggies sat entrenched at the Jayhawks' nine-yard line after pushing 71 yards on nine efficient plays. Facing fourth-and-one, many teams might have elected to attempt a chip-shot field goal to take the lead, but Texas A&M decided to hand the ball to Lane, their short-yardage weapon. Lane took the handoff from quarterback Stephen McGee and leaned toward the left side of the offensive line. As the powerful back neared the first-down marker, McClinton managed to impede his progress just enough for his layhawk teammates to bring Lane down short of the marker for a loss of two vards. "He's a big boy, but we came as a unit and we brought him down," McClinton said. "I." got him in the backfield, but he's so big that I just held onto his shirt and my teammates came and helped me." The play served as a microcosm of Saturday night's game: the Kansas defense shut down Texas A&M's vaunted run game until sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing and the Jayhawk offense could put points on the scoreboard. Texas A&M entered the game averaging 5.3 yards per carry but mustered just 2.7 against Kansas. and sophomore defensive tackle Caleb Blakesley plugged the middle of the line. McGee, also a dangerous runner, struggled his way to a season-low 11 rushing yards. Kansas junior linebackers James Holt and Mike Rivera held McGee in check, combining for 20 tackles. Lane gained just 23 yards as McClinton MARCO GALVANO Rivera "We really had to play the run well, and we did," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "We felt like in order for them to beat us, they'd need to throw the ball, and that's not their comfort zone." The Kansas offense picked up yardage with ease for much of the first half but repeatedly stuttered near the end zone. The Jayhawks entered the Aggies' 20-yard line twice in the first half, but senior kicker Scott Webb missed a field goal on both occasions, with the first try being blocked. The teams entered the half with the score balanced at 0-0, but Kansas raised its level of play in the third quarter. The Jayhawk offense scored on all three of its third-quarter possessions while the defense brought the Aggie rushing attack to a halt. Reeing came out of halftime slinging the ball around the field, completing seven of eight passes on Kansas' first drive of the second half. The Jayhawks were able to exploit their opponents through the air because the Aggies made an exaggerated effort to stop senior running back Brandon McAnderson, who rushed for 100 yards in the first half alone and a career-high 183 yards total. McAnderson, a bruising back who was cut from the same cloth as Lane, stood out as the most impressive runner on the field. He took advantage of great blocks from junior offensive linemen Anthony Collins and Adrian Mayes and repeatedly shot through the Aggie defense for impressive gains. McAnderson rumbled for gains of 20 and 33 yards in the second quarter and a career-long 40-yard rush in the fourth quarter. "I just want to be a part of this offence and keep making plays here and there," McAnderson said. "This is the kind of day that I could have or lake (Sharp) could've After Webb converted a 31-yard field goal to place Kansas on top, 3-0, the Jayhawk defense went to hawk, stopping the Aggies dead in their tracks on the ensuing possession. Junior cornerback Aqib Talib brought McGee down in had. The O-line played excellent and we had some success." the backfield on second down, and sophomore defensive end Jeff Wheeler forced McGee to commit an intentional grounding penalty on third down. "On this defense we have a mindset that we're not going to let up no matter what the score is or no matter how much time is left," Holt said. "I think we played well. We've been briefing all week and watching film on them so I think we had them down pretty good." Kansas threw together an effective mix of running plays and passing plays on its next drive. Sophomore running back Jake Sharp ran three times for 19 yards, Reesing completed two passes for 29 yards and McAnderson rumbled into the end zone from six yards out to stretch the lead to 10-0 with 2:37 to play in the third quarter. The home team and its fans seemed thoroughly deflated after the third quarter, in which the Jayhawks outgained the Aggies 148 yards to nine and jumped to a commanding 13-0 lead. But McGee and his teammates did not leave Kyle Field without putting a bit of a scare into Kansas. With their patented runfirst style out of the question because of time constraints and the dominant jayhawk defense, the Aggies defied convention and turned to the passing game for points. "We felt like in order for them to beat us, they'd need to throw the ball,and that's not their comfort zone." "They make a living on running the ball and we knew we had to take that away, but McGee can throw the ball and I thought he did some good things throwing the football," Mangino said. "I wouldn't trade our guy for MARK MANGINO Kansas coach him, but I like him." The first time the Kansas defense wavered on Saturday was in the fourth quarter. McGee completed 9 of 14 passes on a 70-yard, 16-play drive that ended with a Matt Szymanski field goal that finally put Texas A&M on the scoreboard with 7:20 remaining in the game. After Scott Webb's third missed goal of the evening with four minutes to play, Texas A&M again marched the length of the field and scored, this time on a 32-yard touchdown pass from McGee to wide receiver Roger Holland. The Aggies had trimmed the deficit to eight, 19-11, with just more than two minutes left, stirring the home fans into a frenzy and quieting the Kansas cheering section. Kansas sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton fielded the onside kick adeptly, but the Jayhawk offense could not find its groove or even gain a first down, forcing a punt that sailed into the end zone for a touchback. Taking over with 52 seconds on the clock and 80 yards ahead of them, the Aggies flipped a switch and went into desperation mode. They advanced 28 yards to near midfield but could not convert McGee's last-ditch heaves into points. As McGee's final pass fell incomplete and four zeroes stood still on the clock, Kansas held onto another zero for at least one more Saturday: the blank space in the loss column. At 8-0, the 2007 team stands as the best in the recent history of the program and the lone unscatched squad in the Big 12 Conference. In a college football season full of uncertainty and upsets, one of the biggest shocks in the nation has been the Jayhawks' stability through their impressive undefeated run. Edited by Matt Erickson FOOTBALL Kansas' No. 8 ranking in AP poll marks team's highest in 12 years Kansas' 19-11 victory against Texas A&M earned it a No. 8 ranking in the newest Associated Press Top 25 poll, the BCS rankings and the USA Today Coaches' Top 25 poll. Kansas is now ranked higher than it has been since Oct. 28, 1995, when the Jayhawks came in at No. 6 after they defeated Oklahoma on the road to go to 7-0. Kansas is one of five remaining undefeated teams and faces Nebraska at home this Saturday. The game will kick off at 11:30 a.m. and be televised by Fox Sports Net. The Jayhawks are 8-0 for the first time since 1909 and sit atop the Big 12 with a 4-0 conference record. The Missouri Tigers are one spot back of Kansas in all three polls at No.9 in the country. In the BCS poll, Ohio State was the top-ranked team, followed by Boston College, LSU, Arizona State, Oregon, Oklahoma and West Virginia before Kansas came in at No. 8. If Kansas defeats Nebraska, it will certainly move up at least one spot because Arizona State plays at Oregon this weekend.

If Kansas City scores one goal during the second leg, Chivas USA will need three goals to move on. MLS BRIEFS Kansas City Wizards 1, Chivas USA 0 KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Davy Arnaud scored on a free kick in the 35th minute, giving Kansas City a win over Chivas USA in the opening game of their Western Conference semifinal series. The win gave the Wizards a one-goal advantage when the two-game,aggregate-goal series heads back to the Los Angeles area next Saturday at The Home Depot Center. Both teams had limited scoring opportunities in a game that got physical late in the first half and ended with the two teams combining for 30 fouls. The Wizards broke through when Eddie Johnson was fouled by Paulo Nagamura just to the right of the Chivas goal, about 25 yards out. Arnaud took the free kick and curled a shot around a three-man wall and just inside the right post, past diving goalkeeper Brad Guzan It was Arnaud's third career playoff goal, tied for third-best on the team's all-time list. Chivas USA played the match without its two top scorers, Maykel Galindo and Ante Razov. Both sat out with injuries but could return next weekend. If the Wizards score one away goal during the next game, Chivas USA would have to score three goals to win because away goals are the tie-breaker and Chivas USA score zero on Saturday.

Kansas' victories against Nebraska and Iowa State at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex gave the team five wins, two draws and only one defeat in its last eight games. This weekend's results meant Kansas would participate in its eighth straight Big 12 Conference Tournament, Nov. 7 to 11 in San Antonio, Texas, and moved the team into a tie for 5th in the Big 12. Kansas used strong performances from junior forward Sara Rogers and senior midfielder Nicole Cauzillo to overwhelm last-place Nebraska Friday afternoon. Rogers came off the bench to contribute a brace, her first goals of the season, while Cauzillo scored her team-leading five goal to power the Jayhawks to a 3-1 win. KANSAS 3. NEBRASKA 1 Coach Mark Francis said the team started to show the form that fueled its current streak on a consistence basis. He said the biggest change from the beginning of the season was the way the team finished its chances. "It gives the kids some confidence," Francis said. "Which at this point, I think, is 99 percent of the battle. We are starting to believe that we actually are good and we can win games and that's obviously shown in our results." Rogers began the scoring in the 22nd minute after a smooth sequence of passes begun by a Cauzillo back-heel pass that allowed sophomore forward Kim Boyer to send a perfectly weighted through ball to Rogers on the right flank. The junior calmly finished the play to stake Kansas to an early 1-0 advantage. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN "I got a really good ball played to me for the first one," Rogers said. "I just looked up and went near post with it." The strong contingent of traveling Nebraska fans then watched as Cauzillo and Rogers unleashed extraordinary long-range strikes after halftime to put the game out of reach. The first came in the 60th minute when Cauzillo bent a left-footed shot into the top-left corner from 35 vards out. "I think I just took a touch and I saw that the keeper was off her line and I just went for it." Cazillo said. A strong defensive performance was tainted when Nebraska scored three minutes later on a corner kick. Francis said he was happy with the team's overall performance but stressed that it must stay focused during the course of 90 minutes to prevent those kinds of soft goals. The Kansas attack continued to yield results five minutes later when Rogers latched onto a flick from sophomore forward Monica Dolinsky at the edge of the penalty area. Rogers cut back past a defender and drove a shot into the bottom right corner. It was the first multi-goal game of the junior's career. COUNTRY 4 For the first 25 minutes, Iowa State and Kansas battled for possession in the midfield with offensive chances and significant buildup hard to come by. For the next 10 minutes, Kansas attackers began to generate a number of quality chances in front of the goal that eventually resulted in the lone goal and a 1-0 triumph. KANSAS 1. IOWA STATE 0 The breakthrough came in the 37th minute when a corner kick taken by junior forward Jessica Bush sent on by freshman forward Kaitlyn Cunningham. The pass found freshman defender Katie Williams unmarked in the middle of the box where a powerful header past Iowa State goalkeeper Ann Gleason gave Williams the first goal of her career. "It was more of a community goal." Williams said. "Kaitlyn Cunningham flicked it and I just happened to be there." Nicole Cauzillo, senior midfielder, powers past Selenia lacchelli, junior midfielder, during Friday afternoon's game against Nebraska at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Cauzilla had a goal and an assist during the game. Despite creating the bulk of the offensive chances throughout the game, the Jayhawks were forced to buckle down in the final 20 minutes as Iowa State sent waves forward in hopes of equalizing and earning a point. The Cyclones' best chance came in the 76th minute when a loose ball from a corner kick fell to an Iowa State player who drove a shot towards senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn. "I made the mistake to get the corner so I had to make up for that." Quinn said. "I don't want to go into overtime more than anybody else does." By preserving the shutout, Quinn earned her fourth shutout of the season and officially clinched a berth in Big 12 Conference Tournament play. - Edited by Meghan Murphy 》VOLLEYBALL Disappointment continues in five-game match vs. Missouri BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com For two hours and 20 minutes on Saturday, Kansas played even with Missouri. Unfortunately it was the last 20 minutes that proved decisive. Missouri edged past Kansas 15-12 in game five, claiming a 3-2 (30-32, 30-22, 33-31, 26-30, 15-12) victory in the 2-hour, 40-minute marathon match at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Kansas was left emotionally drained and looking for answers after its eighth loss in nine matches. Kansas had more digs, the same number of assists and only four fewer kills than Missouri, but still came away empty-handed. games four and five. HISTORY REVERSED The loss dropped Kansas to 10-13 and 3-10 in the Big 12, while Missouri improved to 13-9 and 6-7 in the Big 12. After winning game one, Kansas dropped games two and three. The match began to look eerily similar to Kansas' 3-2 win against Missouri earlier this year in Columbia, Mo., when Kansas trailed 2-1 before rallying to win "We just had too many hitting errors," coach Ray Bechard said, attributing his team's low .147 hit percentage to youthful inconsistency. "But we can't use that excuse much longer. These guys have played twenty-plus matches." On Saturday, Kansas managed to win game four, 30-26, but Missouri made sure to grab hold of game five early and hold on tight. With Kansas trailing 6-3 in the decisive game five, Bechard called timeout and a kill from senior right side/setter Emily Brown on the ensuing point started a 4-1 Kansas run that gave Kansas a 7-6 lead. But Missouri responded with its own 4-0 run and took a 10-7 lead. "You just can't overcome that in a short game." Beckard said. GAME ONE Things looked promising early for the Jayhawks, who took game one in wacky fashion. Brown and junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart controlled the net in game one, with Kansas leading 29-28 on the scoreboard, Uhart finished a kill to give Kansas what looked to be a 30-28 win. But after a few minutes of discussion, officials announced that the score was actually 30-29, meaning Kansas had to come back out to finish game one. Missouri took the next point to tie the game at 30-30, but sophomore outside hitter Flavia Lino finished a kill on a less-than-perfect set from Brown to give Kansas a 31-30 lead. Kansas won the game 32-30 on the next point. "I kind of wish now that they had counted that as winning twice," Brown said. Bechard was pleased with the way his team handled the strange situation. "I've never had a team have to change sides and finish a game," Bechard said. "It was the correct thing to do. But I thought we responded extremely well." GAMETWO AND THREE But Bechard was disappointed with the way his team played game two. Missouri controlled game two from the start and won 30-22. Missouri also won game three despite some late-game heroics from Kansas. Trailing Missouri 27-21, Kansas went on a 6-0 run to tie the score at 27-27. Then Kansas saved three Missouri game points, the first on a Uhart block assist that tied the game at 29-29, the second on a kill from freshman Karina Garlington tying the game at 30-30 and the third on Brown's block assist to square things at 31-31. But the comeback was wasted when Missouri won the next two points to win the game 33-31. "We fought really hard tonight, because on points like that, it's easy for a team to play scared, and say, 'Hey, they're only one point from winning the game,'" Brown said. UP NEXT Kansas has seven games left on its schedule. The Jayhawks travel to Baylor on Wednesday for a 6:30 p.m. match, and Bechard said his team could learn from this game. "I told the team that if we continue that type of fight and perseverance then there is opportunity to have success for the rest of the way out," Bechard said. - Edited by Matt Erickson Learn Your Own Way KU Independent Study 785-864-5823 www.ContinuingEd.ku.edu Study and learn wherever you are Choose from 150 available courses Enroll and begin anytime Check with your academic advisor before enrolling. Vollevball notes LOFTY NUMBERS Kansas put up some of its biggest offensive numbers of the season during the five-game match. Senior right side/setter Emily Brown scored her sixth triple-double of the season with 17 kills, 29 assists and 15 digs. But Brown still didn't lead Kansas in any of those categories. Sophomore setter Katie Martinicchied kel Kansas with 32 assists, while freshman libero Melissa Manda had a career-high 30 digs. Manda is eighth in the Big 12 with 3.93 digs per game.

FEELING BETTER Uhart, who missed 10 games earlier this season for treatment for a congenital heart defect, said she's still not feeling 100 percent. But Uhart had one of her best "She was great tonight," Bechard said. "And she was very good during timeouts games in a kansas uniform with 19 kills and 12 blocks. Bechard said Uhart had been impressive on and off the court. With Uhart missing 10 games, and sophomore middle blocker Brittany Williams out for the season since Sept. 24 with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her knee, it's easy to think about how the season might have turned out differently with a completely healthy team. "Yes, well like to have a couple of other players out there," Bechard said. "But Missouri's missing a kid. too. It's the way of the world in the big 12."

Talib led the Kansas defense with four broken-up passes. He also made six tackles and completed one tackle for a loss. The lawhawk defense gave up lust 74 yards rushing against the Aggie's rush offense. Jon Goering/KANSAN BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee entered the post-game press conference at the same time his coach, Dennis Franchione, was exiting the auditorium. McGee patted Franchione on the back and whispered, "I'm sorry." But Franchione's comments made it clear that he thought McGee had no reason to apologize for the Aggies' 19-11 loss to the Jayhawks. Franchione said Kansas simply played better defense against his team than any other team has in a long time. "Everything was difficult and hard," Franchione said. "They defended us very, very well. They did a great job. They got off blocks, made plays and had things called at the right time." Coming into Saturday's game, Texas A&M ranked fifth in the nation with an average of 260 rushing yards per game. But the Jayhawks held the Aggies to a season-low 74 rushing yards. The Jayhawks' domination started with shutting down McGee, who ran for a career-high 167 yards last week. McGee's final stat line read 10 carries for 11 yards. "They probably aren't the most athletic defense, but they are by far probably the best defense we've faced." McGee said. "Just because they play hard, and they do what their coaches say." The run-first Aggie offense found no room to operate when it mattered most. With the game scoreless at halftime, the third quarter emerged as an opportunity for the Aggies to make the most of their halftime adjustments. But Texas A&M stalled in each of its three possessions in the quarter. The Aggies ran only nine offensive play good in the third quarter, but not against this team" And specifically not against Kansas defensive tackle James McClinton. SEE FOOTBALL ON FACING PAGE "Three straight three-and-outs in the third quarter, we didn't get anything done," Franchione said.

KANSAS 35 KANSAS FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 6B) Dezmin Briscoe, freshman wide receiver, turns up field after making a reception during Saturday night's game against Texas A&M. Briscoe led Kays youth recruits for 40 yards. The senior constantly penetrated into the Aggie backfield. Jon Goering/KANSAN Ion Gnerina/KANSAH Brandon McAnderson, sophomore running back, celebrates with his teammates during the game. McAnderson scored both of Kansas' touchdowns and averaged 8.7 yards per carry. Kansas moved to 8-0 with the win and moved up to 8, in 8 on the AP top 25 rankings. The matchup between Texas A&M guard Kirk Elder, an All-Big 12 Conference performer, and McClinton looked like it would be a battle on paper. But McClinton turned it into a disparity. McClinton made the game's biggest play in the second quarter when he met 268-pound Jorvorskie Lane in the Aggie backfield and planted him on fourth-and-one from the nineyard line. "He's the quickest defensive lineman I've ever played in my four years here," Elder said. Texas A&M defensive coordinator Gary Darnell said that he knew the Kansas defense was good from watching film but that he had no idea it was this good. "I just want to make it a point to say what a great job they did and how well their team played." Darnell said. "They played better than I thought they could play, and that's Coach Mangino and certainly Bill Young, their defensive coordinator." But not all the Aggies used their words to compliment the Jayhawks. Defensive lineman Michael Bennett was asked whether he was impressed by Kansas, specifically running back Brandon McAnderson, and offered a surprising response. BROWN 19 80 —Edited by Chris Beattie "No," Bennett said. "I promise you when we meet them in the Big 12 Championship, we're going to win the game." 1 Jon Goering/KANSAN Marcus Herford fields a kickoff in the endzone. Texas & A&M kicked the ball deep enough each time that Kansas did not record a kickoff on the night. View from press row 7 It was over when... The game clock hit 00:00. Texas A&M fed off of a noisy Kyle Field crowd to get within striking distance late in the fourth quarter. The Aggies moved the ball 28 yards on their final drive but could not complete a deep pass toward the end zone as time expired. Game to forget... Texas A&M center Cody Wallace. Not only was the first team All-Big 12 selection responsible for Kansas senior defensive tackle James McClinton, but he also suffered a first-half injury that held him out of action for a few plays. McClinton made mincemeat of Wallace and a respectable offensive line Saturday, making two tackles-for-loss and pestering quarterback Stephen McGee constantly. Game to remember... Brandon McAnderson. The senior running back entered the game overshadowed by talk of another bruising running back: Texas A&M's Jorvorskie Lane. But McAnderson proved he was a capable ball-carrier on the field. The Lawrence native rumbled for a career-high 183 yards on 21 carries, including a 40-yard run in the fourth quarter.

The Aggies attempted a season-high 45 passes Saturday night because the Jayhawks took a double-digit lead and left little room for their opponents' run game to breathe. Entering the game, Texas A&M ranked fifth in the nation in rushing yards per game with 260. Against Kansas, the A&M ground game gained just 74 yards. Asher Fusco Football notes SETTING RECORDS The Jayhawks have made a habit of setting new school records each week. Last Saturday's victory lifted Kansas to 8-0, the program's best start since 1909. In fact, Kansas has only won eight or more games in 12 seasons in its history. The team is now 4-0 in conference play for the first time since 1992 and has won three conference road games for the first time since the 1995 season. In the 11-year history of the Big 12 Conference. Yves Lefebvre Kansas had never defeated two Big 12 South opponents: this year the team posted wins against Baylor and Texas A&M. Some Jayhawks moved up the individual record books as well. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing passed his way to ninth on the single-season passing yards list with 1,985 and senior running back Brandon McAnderson set a team season-high and personal career-high with 183 rushing yards. Reesina Junior cornerback Kendrick Harper finally found some substantial playing time and capitalized in a big way. Harper, who missed the first four games of the season with an arm injury, earned his first career start and recorded a career-high seven tackles, including two tackles-for-loss. One of the hits Harper made behind the line of scrimmage was impressive enough to warrant multiple replies on ESPN2. The junior college transfer also flourished in pass coverage. Even with Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee's staying away from Kansas' All-Big 12 cornerback Aqib Talb, Harper held HARPER'S BIG DAY Harper Texas A&M wide receiver Pierre Brown receptionless. After the game Mangino said Harper played well but had not replaced freshman cornerback Chris Harris 1 as the team's No. 2 option at cornerback. Harris played less on Saturday than he had in any game so far this season, and he made no tackles. SPECIAL TEAMS For the first time in 2007, the strength of Kansas' special teams was the punting game. Senior punter Kyle Tucker booted three punts and averaged 43.3 yards per punt. Tucker's most impressive punt sailed 49 yards and was expertly covered by Kansas junior wide receiver Micah Brown, who brought the return down for FEDERAL NATIONAL GEOGRAPHICAL SERVICE a one-yard loss. The Kansas kicking game struggled mightily, as senior kicker Scott Webb missed three field goals. Texas A&M defensive end Chris Harrington Tucker blocked Webb's first attempt, a 27-yarder that would have put Kansas on top 3-0. Later in the second quarter, Webb barely misfired $ _ { 4 } $ sending a 31-yard attempt bouncing off of the left upright. In the fourth quarter, Webb pulled a field goal just wide of the right pylon. The 33-yard kick would have given Kansas a 22-3 advantage with 3:57 remaining in the game. Webb did make two field goals to bring his season total to 13-of-17. MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY Texas A&M celebrated its rich armed forces tradition on Military Appreciation Day by welcoming former president and Aggie alum George H.W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to Kyle Field for a halftime ceremony that included an elaborate performance by the Fighting Aggie marching band. Before kickoff, Texas A&M linebacker Mark Dodge received the Pat Tillman Patriot Award for his time in the military before becoming an Aggie. The announced attendance of 85,341 was the largest crowd Kansas had played in front of since 1979 when the team visited Michigan. Despite Texas A&M's early-game ineptitude, the crowd stuck around and stayed loud until the end of the game. The crowd was at full throat for the duration of the contest and lived up to its reputation by literally swaying the press box during the pregame Aggie War Chant. A&M OFFENSE STRUGGLES Texas A&M's rushing offense never had a chance to get rolling because of Kansas' 13-point third quarter. Saturday marked the seventh time in eight games the Jayhaws jumped out to a lead and the sixth time Kansas has held its opponent scoreless in the first half. Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee enjoyed one of his most productive passing games of the season, with 244 yards and a touchdown. But McGee's exploits proved too little, too late as the Aggies could only put one touchdown on the scoreboard before time ran out. Representatives from the Independence and Texas bowls watched Saturday's game from the press box. In the past, bowl officials from lower-tier events such as the Independence or Texas bowls might have been in attendance to scout the jayhawks. But this time, the representatives were checking in on the underperforming Aggies. At 8-0 and first place in the Big 12, the jayhawks' sights are set a bit higher — Kansas could be headed for the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl or a BCS bowl come the holiday season. Texas A&M, which is 6-3 and take a difficult schedule, could finish 6-6 and miss the postseason completely. IS IT BASKETBALL SEASON YET? The Aggies, who traditionally field a strong football team, could catch themselves looking forward to basketball season. The Texas A&M basketball squad, which earned third place in the Big 12 preseason poll, was the center of attention in between the first and second quarter when the stadium video screen displayed a flashy montage dedicated to Aggie basketball coach Mark Turgeon.

Competing against a tough conference in 2007, the two teams fared well, while barely missing that mark. Assistant coach Doug Clark addressed some of his expectations at Tuesday's press conference. Wissel I am very happy to have met you. "I think that it is hard to set expectations for this race, because you never know how the other teams will compete," Clark said. "I think that the men will finish around fifth, but if they compete as well as they can, somewhere around third." The expectations were not quite met: The men finished seventh this year, compared with their previous mark of third in 2006. Senior Colby Wissel led the way for the Jayhawks and was at the head of the pack for most of the race. After finishing first last year, Wissel posted another valiant effort, finishing fifth overall. With a good men's field this year and a tough course, Wissel showed why he is an All-American and posted a good time for the squad. The other All-American on the men's side, Paul Hefferon, once again was the second to cross the line for the layhawks, finishing 21st overall. Hefferon also had a strong performance in his last Big 12 Championship, posting a time of 25:28. As in weeks past, Bret Imgrund finished third for the time and 42nd overall. The women's team tried to improve upon its 11th-place finish from last year but, in the end, came up just short. Despite another solid performance from sophomore Lauren Bonds, the team finished 11th for the second race in a row. The women's race was competitive this year, and Bonds rose to the occasion, finishing 30th overall, 28 places ahead of her finish last year. Bonds was not the only one to push the pace — seniors Alicia McGregor and Hayley Harbert were right behind her, finishing 41st and 47th. Harbert finished the Big 12 Championship with her best race of the season and a new personal record. The two teams' chance to overcome their tough luck in the Big 12 Championships comes Nov. 10, when they compete in the Midwest Regional Championships in Peoria, III.

Glancing back to the rest of the season, it looked like Kansas would slip into the dark abyss of last place for the third tournament in a row. But this time, the Jayahwaks caught their foothold. They placed eighth in the 12-team tournament in Wilmington, N.C. The Jayahwks finished 31 strokes behind first-place finisher and nationally-ranked Virginia Tech. Their placing was the layhawks' second-best team finish of the fall season. The freshman class again gave a needed boost to the team over the weekend. Brad Hopfinger led Kansas by finishing at even par yesterday, tying for 12th place and improving from his first round start in 22nd place. Hopfinger's finish was a new career-best for the youn. Head coach Kit Grove said that he was impressed with Hopfinger's consistency. "Brad played really well for us, and this is his second straight solid tournament, which is a great sign for a freshman golfer," Grove said. Hopfinger's freshman companion Nate Barbee also played solid golf for the Jayhawks. He carded his final-round finish at 74, only two above par, and finished in 22nd Junior Zach Pederson was the third Jayhawk to finish in the top 30, tying for 29th place. The tournament marked the end of the fall season, and the Jayhawks have three months to improve on the rough first-half of the season. Coach Grove said he hoped the break would give them time to shift their focus to the spring. place overall. Barbee also showed improvement after ending the first round tied for 30th. "Now we need to head into a little bit of a break and shore up some things for the spring season," Grove said. Kansas resumes play in February when it tees off the spring season in the Hawaii-Hilo Invitational in Hilo, Hawaii.

BY SCOTT TOLAND stoland@kansan.com Sarah Leonard/KANSAN The Kansas swimming and diving team came up short against the Missouri Tigers in a dual competition on Friday in Robinson Natatorium, despite having several strong performances and new pool records set during the meet. "It surprised everybody," Campbell said in reference to The Tigers beat the Jayhawks 162-138 in the annual Border Showdown, winning nine events as Kansas won seven, several of which came down to nail-biting finishes. Behind a big home crowd, the Jayhawks gave the Tigers a run for their money before Missouri sealed the victory. Mayrovich's record-setting race. "For doing it in the early part of the year, I was amazed. She is a very good swimmer who is realizing her potential." "All of our coaching staff was really pleased with the team's performance" coach Clark Campbell said. "We swam really well for this early in the season. We were four swims away from being closer and maybe winning it." In the diving competitions, senior Jenny Roberts and freshman Erin Mertz did well enough to qualify for the NCAA Zone "D" Diving Meet, which will be held in March. Mertz recorded a one-meter board victory for Kansas while Roberts finished third in the three-meter board competition. In the 200-yard freestyle race, Junior Maria Mayrovich made Friday a day to remember as she won the race by posting a new record time for Robinson Natatorium. Her time of 1:48:85 is within two seconds of breaking the record for a Kansas swimmer. Mayrovich also claimed first place in the 100 and 50-yard competitions. "We're putting in some good practices, and it's paid off so far," Herrman said. Junior Ashley Ledigh took first in the 200-yard butterfly, junior Danielle Herrmann won the 200 yard IM, and the relay team of sophomore Emily Lanteigne, senior Terri Schramka, Leduch and Mayrovich defeated Missouri in the 400-yard freestyle. The Jayhawks face their next test in another home meet on Thursday against the Arkansas Razorbacks. The meet begins at 4 p.m. in Robinson Natatorium. "We have a really tough opponent on Thursday," Campbell said. "It's going to be a tough chore for us." Edited by Kaitlyn Syring 》 WOMEN'S GOLF BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com Kansas finishes 13th Kansas had little to do with talent level. "The main part of it is just kind of an attitude," O'Neal said. "It's a confidence thing that they have already gone through and established in their programs." Despite falling short of the goal of a top-ten finish, O'Neil said the team demonstrated signs of progress and fought through wet conditions once again to improve team scores each day. The tournament field at the UA-Ann Rhoads Intercollegiate lived up to its lofty reputation this weekend as the Kansas women's golf team finished 13th out of 18 teams in Tuscaloosa, Ala., yesterday. The tournament included 11 teams ranked 43rd or better nationally, including three teams ranked in the top ten: Arkansas, Auburn and Florida. As expected those three showed why they deserve their rankings and occupied the top three places. Coach Erin O'Neil said the gap between them nationally ranked teams and Sophomore Emily Powers led the Jayhawks and tied for 11th place after beginning yesterday's final round tied for 30th. Sophomores Meghan Bal and Grace Thiry followed her and tied for 54th and 61st, respectively. Senior Annie Giangrosso finished tied for 80th and freshman Sydney Wilson ended the tournament in sole possession of 90th place. "It showed they have the ability to keep up with the good teams," O'Neil said. "We can accomplish the goals that we set for ourselves, we just have to keep grinding, keep working and not settle." Although the fall season is now over, O'Neil said players would continue to play on their own and travel to tournaments in order to continue building the foundation begun this fall. - Edited by Rachael Gray Medallion Hunt Clue: This is a natural place that bears its beauty.

I'd read the stories. But last Thursday night, I arrived at historic 18th & Vine, the location of the Negro League Baseball Museum, to listen to the tales of the 1977 American League Championship Series between the Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees. There was a time when the Royals-Yankees rivalry was every bit as heated and competitive as the Red Sox and Yankees. Four out of five years from 1976 to 1980 — the days before the Divisional Series, when the ALCS was best of five games – Kansas City and New York duked it out for a trip to the World Series. The Royals lost the first three of these meetings before sweeping the Yankees in 1980 in the series most Royals would probably rather remember. But 1977 was the year the rivalry climaxed. With players such as Reggie Jackson, Billy Martin, George Brett and Hal McRae, how could it not? This was an era I missed out on I was a mere three-months, eight days old when the Royals appeared in and won their last and only World Series in 1985. Today, the Royals have had four 100-loss seasons out of their own had just one winning season since the strike in 1994. with four Royals hats, the connecting "KC" logos shimmering under the spotlights; and to the right, a table with four Yankees hat, bearing the dreaded, overlapping "NY." Only former Royal and moderator for the night Willie Wilson separated the two tables. The four played seasons in Royals uniforms. THE STAGE IS SET I m a g i n e Manny Ramirez at age 60 (and without the dread- locks), and you get a picture of Otis' personality, although Otis is a little more volatile. I don't think it was by chance that he was seated farthest from the Yankees with White at his side. White, of course, is one of only three Royals who have had their numbers retired by the franchise. Leonard, unfortunately, is better known for getting the loss in Game 5 of the '77 ALCS, rather than his four-hit, 97-pitch complete game in Game 3. Patek is best known for his size (listed at 5'5", 148 pounds when he played), but plenty of players with more desirable size never played the game as well as he did. Accompanying the Royals hats were four mainstays of Kansas City baseball: Amos Otis, Frank White, Dennis Leonard and Fred Patek. The four played a combined 53 Rather than Kauffman Stadium or Yankees Stadium, the stage was set at the Gem Theatre, just across the street from the Negro League Baseball Museum, which was sponsoring the event: "Damn Yankees: Tales of a Royal Baseball Rivalry." But, for one night, I went back in time to catch a glimpse of Royals baseball in its heyday. You guys might have thought we had a rivalry, but we didn't care about Kansas City." Inside the theater, the battle lines were drawn: To the left was a table DOCK ELLIIS Former New York Yankees pitcher The late Buck O'Neil could talk for days on end about 18th & Vine, and, coincidentally, the Baseball Hall of Fame announced the night before that it would dedicate a lifetime achievement award to the legendary baseball ambassador. A buzz was already in the air. Opposite the Royals were four Yankees who stayed in New York just "All the set-up men and closers today are just so managers can take credit for winning games." Wilson to see that even 30 years couldn't thaw all the hatred these teams felt for one another. long enough to earn rings: Jimm Wymm, Dock Ellis, Paul Blair and Jay石涛en. "How much did you guys really dislike each other during the rivalry?" Wilson asked. the team voted that he received a World Series ring anyway. Not to be outdone, Ellis pitched in only three games for the Yankees that season before being traded to Oakland. Still, he was the most outspoken of the four Yankees. Blair had the longest Yankee career of the group, playing two-plus seasons in New York, and he gave the most thoughtful answers from his table. Johnstone didn't actually join the Yankees until 1978, so I wasn't not entirely sure why he was there. W y n n played just 30 games for the Yankees in '77 before they cut him, but PAUL BLAIR Former New York Yankees player The tale of two cities: The dedication Otis, White, Leonard and Patek had for Kansas City, and the pride Wynn, Ellis, Blair and Johnstone had for winning rings in stripes. NATIONAL BASEBALL Ellis countered, in his drawn-out manner of speaking, "You guys might have thought we had a rivalry, but we didn't care about Kansas STILL RIVALS "I didn't like Dock Ellis," Otis snapped. "I liked hitting against him." It only took one question from City." New York went 100-62, winning half of its 10 meetings with Kansas City during the 1977 regular season. However, Kansas City was arguably the better team, going 102-60, including a stretch where the Royals won 24 of 25 games. "You guys didn't have to do that," Leonard said of the streak to the Yankees. "You were in a weak division." The two-hour discussion calmed after the first few minutes, though, and the mood lightened as the Yankees shared memories of their divisive clubhouse entity: Reggie Jackson. "Out of a 25-man roster, 23 guys hated his guts." Blair said. Interestingly, if the Royals had held onto their lead in the ninth inning of Game 5, Jackson never would have become Mr. October in the "77 World Series. As the mood mellowed, the players began contrasting the game when they played to the game today. Blair started in, talking about how pitchers were expected to last nine innings every outing, not like the "five and fly" pitchers of today. "All the set-up men and closers today are just so managers can take credit for winning games," Blair said. "Hal was a dirty player," Ellis recalled. "He'd try to kill you. But that's how the game was played." The '77 ALCS was also notorious for hard-nosed slides that took place at second base, most notably one by Hal McRae into Yankees second baseman Willie Randolph to break up a double play. White concurred: "It's a tamer game today. Guys just don't play as aggressive today. You've got to play the game with an attitude." Patek joined in: "You wanted to run them into a brick wall."

One of the game's most beloved ambassadors, O'Neil was posthumously honored Wednesday by the Hall with a Lifetime Achievement Award named in his memory. Although the players obviously disliked each other when they played, there was a sense of mutual respect among them as they sat But something else that became obvious before the night was through was that the fans never forgot how the players played in that era either. across from one another. Patek had the best explanation for this change in attitude. He said that despite the hatred that built up between the teams while they were players, after he retired, he remembered how "It's a tamer game today. Guys just don't play as aggressive today. You've got to play the game with an attitude." FRANK WHITE Former Kansas City Royals player Throughout the discussion, a woman in the audience sitting front row center, was overly enthusiastic toward the Royals, often erupting his opponents played the game the right way and that he respected them for that, creating a bond between them. with applause after a Royals player finished his answer. When it came time for the question and answer session with the audience, she was the first to grab the microphone. But she didn't have a question. "To you guys over there," she said to the Yankees, "you talked about what it meant to win your rings in New York, and that's great, but you guys," she said to the Royals, "were a part of us, a part of the city." Breaking down to tears, she continued: "You guys meant so much to us, we would have done anything for you to have won those rings. We bled Royal blue." The few seconds that woman clutched the mic gave me all the insight into the 1977 ALCS I'd hoped to find that night — a tale the footage and stories don't do justice.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KANSAN 10B SPORTS MLB MONDAY,OCTOBER 29,2007 Red Sox sweep their way to championship BY BEN WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS YOURTLESS 20 The Boston Red Sox celebrate after Game 4 of the baseball World Series against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday at Coors Field in Denver. The Red Sox win 4-3 to sweep the series. DENVER — Gone are those pleading, pathetic days when the Red Sox were practically begging to win a World Series. There's a new monster in baseball, and it's in Boston. ASSOCIATED PRESS Overwhelming in every way, the Red Sox swept for their second title in four years Sunday night. Jon Lester, Mike Lowell & Co. left little room for drama with a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies in Game 4. This was hardly a repeat from 2004, when the Red Sox ended their 86-year championship drought by beating St. Louis. Boston is a major league bully these days, playing in rarefied air before crowds who demand victories. Then again, no National League team could have blocked Boston this October. After rallying from a 3-1 deficit against Cleveland in the American League Championship Series, the Red Sox won seven straight games and won their seventh World Series crown. At this rate, New England fans might get spoiled. Manager Terry Francona's team has become a perfect counterpart to coach Bill Belichick's New England Patriots. The Rockies, who won a remarkable 21 of 22 games to get to the World Series, were a mere afterthought by the end. Brad Hawpe homered in the seventh inning and Garrett Atkins hit a two-run shot in the eighth that came too late. Lester, undergoing chemotherapy for cancer at this time last year, pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning, and Jonathan Papelbon closed with his third save of the Series. Lowell led a team that hit 333 in the Series with a home run, double and headfirst slide to score a run. Rookie Jacoby Ellsbury got it started with a leadoff double and, even without big contributions from sluggers" Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, was too good. Coors Field was filled with Red Sox fans, many of them brazenly waving brooms they might have brought from the Green Monster seats at Fenway Park. The celebrations started early, with converted designated hitter Ortiz raising his hand after a nice scoop at first base, and Lester pumping his fist after a key strike-out. fled out to the wall for the second out in the ninth. Of the seven postseason series this year, five ended in sweeps. The Rockies' last chance to avoid it came in the ninth, when Jamey Carroll By the ninth inning, only one mystery really remained: What would happen to the ball from the final out? Remember, it took all sorts of gyrations after Boston's most recent title before Doug Mientkiewicz donated his souvenir to the Hall of Fame. This time, Jason Varitek caught the final pitch as Papelbon threw his glove high in the air after striking out pinch-hitter Seth Smith, and the red Sox ran out and celebrated between the mound and first base Rockies fans spent the night trying to outshout hundreds of Red Sox rooters — Boston folks apparently figured how to cut through Colorado's online ticket system. NASCAR Nextel Cup championship turns into private duel HAMPTON, Ga. — Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are quickly turning the Chase for the Nextel Cup championship into their own private duel. A two-tire stop for Johnson paid off with a victory Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, making the Chase a virtual dead heat at the top between the reigning champion and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate and friend. Johnson and Gordon, who came into the Pep Boys Auto 500 separated by 53 points, both struggled with the handling on their Chevrolets most of the day. But, thanks to a wild finish, they wound up first and seventh, leaving four-time champion Gordon with a nine-point lead with three of the 10 Chase races remaining. HORSE RACING Curlin counts victories against toughest rivals OCEANPORT, N.J.) — Curlin has now beaten the Kentucky Derby winner twice, the leading older horse twice and avenged his most recent defeat. With one emphatic victory against his toughest rivals in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic, Curlin likely ran away with Horse of the Year honors in a sensa tional championship season. The race — the final one in the first two-day, 11-race, $23 million Breeders' Cup — was married in the final yards when European star George Washington broke down and was euthanized on the track. While Curlin and Albarado were crossing the finish line, George Washington was in distress after shattering his right front leg. HOCKEY Avalanche defeat Wild 3-1, Ryan Smyth's plays pay off DENVER — Ryan Smyth came to Colorado for the chance to play with Joe Sakic. So far, that free-agent deal is paying off for everyone. Smyth had a goal and an assist, and Sakic helped set up two scores Sunday in leading the Colorado Avalanche past the Minnesota Wild 3-1. Smyth, who has five goals, developed chemistry with Sakic while winning an Olympic gold medal and two world Championships for Team Canada. They are still clicking with the Avalanche.

WOMEN'S GOLF Suzann Petterson breaks tie for lead by one stroke PATTAYA, Thailand — Suzann Pettersen needed all of her seven-stroke lead — and then some — in the Honda LPGA Thailand. Tied for the lead with Laura Davies after a three-putt bogey on 17, the Norwegian star made up for all those lost strokes with an eagle on the Pattaya Old Course's 479-yard, par-5 finishing hole. She hit a "grip-down" 3-wood from 225 yards to 15 feet, then made the dramatic putt to beat Davies by a stroke Sunday. Associated Press live. study. dream. do it all at naismith hall.

FULL STORY PAGE 4A New law bans grills on apartment decks, balconies LAWRENCE A new city fire code is affecting students who live in apartments. The new code prohibits the use of any barbecue or open fire cooking devices on apartment decks or balconies made of combustible material. The Lawrence City Commission adopted the 2006 edition of the International Fire Code at a Sept. 25 meeting. Richard Barr, division chief for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, said Lawrence property owners and managers had been advocating for this type of law for years. Barr said the law also affected multi-family dwellings, such as Greek chapter houses and lodging houses. The city defines a lodging house as a home in which more than three people who are not related live.

I teach courses in herbal medicines, antibiotics and medicinal biochemistry. My duties are becoming a lot less because I'm near retirement. Where did you go to college? I did my undergraduate and graduate at Wayne State University in Detroit. Where are you from? I'm from Detroit. What inspired you to teach? Well, my parents are both immigrants. My dad is Czech-German and my mom is Irish-Canadian. They respected teachers above anyone else. It was a given that I wanted to do it, and they met with no resistance and I love it. Have you had any funny moments while you were teaching? Well, what we professors find funny, students usually don't find funny. Occasionally students miss spell words that are bizarre to us. One student wrote, "He got a plastic enema," when the correct answer was *aplastic anemia*. What is your favorite sports team? I would have to say the Jayhawks. I occasionally follow the Tigers, Lions and Redwings. JOHN SCHWARTZ Are you upset the Rockies lost the World Series? No, I don't care either way. Baseball is one of those sports that is fun to play but boring to watch. What's the worst job you've had? I worked midnights at the auto factory when I was an undergraduate. It was scary because most people would lose a finger. Favorite type of music? I love Mozart. I haven't liked popular music in decades. What's your ideal weekend? Well, I work most weekends, but my work lets me travel. I would enjoy traveling. Where have you traveled to? You name it, I've been there. All the continents except Antarctica. I've been everywhere. Do you have any pet peeves? I try to not let peeves interfere with my life. But as a professor, it peeves me when people don't take advantage of opportunities; they just drift through college.

Dole Institute of Politics tonight to share 50 years of experience in political journalism. Novak will discuss both controversy and success as he talks about his new book, "The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years Reporting in Washington," at 7:30 p.m. Novak has worked for The Associated Press and The Wall Street Journal. Today, he writes a nationally syndicated column, "Inside Report," for the Chicago Sun-Times, and he is a contributor for CNN and FOX News. His memoir came out last summer. The nickname "The Prince of Darkness" came from Novak's friend, reporter John Lindsay, who thought Novak had a dismal view of humankind. Beka Romm, Dole Institute student outreach coordinator, said she expected some interesting questions and responses because of Novak's recent notoriety from the scandal. Novak received information regarding Plame's CIA involvement from two Bush administration officials, and he published what he learned in a column titled "Mission to Niger." Plame's husband, former U.S. ambassador Joseph Wilson, had written a column discrediting reports of Iraqi attempts to obtain uranium from Niger. The leak scandal led to a federal grand jury investigation and former White House aide Scooter Libby being convicted of lying and obstructing the investigation. Along with Novak's fame, Romm said his abundance of experience with political reporting also made him a notable guest. "Students on this campus may not necessarily be a huge fan of his, but I think he's kind of one of those guests they are curious about," Romm said. "They want to see what makes him tick." Barbara Ballard, Dole Institute associate director of outreach, said Novak's visit highlighted the diverse range of guests the institute brought in and the purpose of their visits. "We try to bring in a diverse population of speakers so our students have an opportunity to hear what these people think." Ballard said. Ballard said Novak was an exciting person to have visit because he was well known and people might have read his columns or watched him on the news. She said that with so much experience and one of the longest-syndicated columns, the conservative Novak reached a large audience of both fans and foes. "He has one of the longest-running columns in the nation, so he's got to have sustainability," Ballard said. "Regardless of how far right or left you are, people develop a mutual respect for what you do." Ballard said Novak would bring in an inquisitive audience. She said it served a campus well when students could see the speaker in person, regardless of their personal views, and form their own opinions. "You'll have people that will just love him and people that will just hate him, and others that come out because these are the people they've seen on TV and they want to see their viewpoints," Ballard said. Novak also will have a book signing following the lecture. Edited by Tara Smith 》 STUDENT SENATE Inflation causes University organizations to request more money from students BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com Committee to discuss fee increase The Campus Fee Review Committee will meet today to discuss whether to raise student fees for next year. The committee, a subcommittee of Student Senate's Finance Committee, will discuss presentations that were made on Saturday by eight entities that depend on student fees. At that meeting, all eight entities asked for a raise in their current fees. The presentations included a simulation showing how much each entity expected its costs to rise through the fiscal year 2015. "If your costs go up, something has to go up," Chappell said. Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services, said her organization, along with the other entities, had to ask for an increase in fees to make up for inflation. Alex Porte, Great Falls, Va. sophomore and assistant treasurer. said the meeting would look at the necessity of the fee requests made in the presentations. "If there are any fees raised it will be in the line of what the University needs, rather than what the University wants." Porte said. He said that no final decisions would be made regarding student fees at today's meeting, but the committee would use the meeting as an opportunity to discuss the Annual Fluctuation Fee Bill, a list of fee increases. Porte said that the committee would then write the Annual Fluctuation Fee Bill sometime after the meeting. That bill will then be voted on in the Finance Committee. If the bill passes in the Finance Committee, it will be voted on by Student Senate. Porte also said he expected the Annual Fluctuation Fee Bill to be presented to the Finance Committee before the end of the fall semester. According to Student Senate Rules and Regulations, the Campus Fee Review Committee spends the fall semester reviewing possible fee changes because of inflation and rising oil prices, and spends the spring semester reviewing possible fee changes for service costs, such as a new program that a University entity may want to implement. Emily Williams, Overland Park senior and member of the Campus Fee Review Committee, said the committee existed to provide input into and oversee student fees. "Student fees have to be increased for maintaining quality of programs and services and our consensus is that it's going to be easier to raise fees in small increments than burdening certain groups of students with large increases," Williams said. The Campus Fee Review Committee meets today from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Wheat Room in the Kansas Union. Edited by Jeff Briscoe making requests Eight University entities met with the Campus Fee Review Committee on Saturday and asked for increases in the amount of money they received from student fees.

The United States immediately welcomed the plan, a sharp contrast to what it called nuclear "cheating" by Iran. President Hosni Mubarak said the aim was to diversify Egypt's energy resources and preserve its oil and gas reserves for future generations. He pledged that Egypt would work with the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency at all times and would not seek a nuclear bomb. In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the U.S. did not object to the program as long as Egypt adhered to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and International Atomic Energy Agency guidelines. The United States has accused Iran of using the cover of a peaceful nuclear program to secretly work toward building a bomb, an allege- But Mubarak also made it clear there were strategic reasons for the program, calling secure sources of energy "an integral part of Egypt's national security system." "The problem has arisen, specifically in the case of Iran, where you have a country that has made certain commitments, and in our view and the shared view of many ... (is) cheating on those obligations," he said. "For those states who want to pursue peaceful nuclear energy ... that's not a problem for us," McCormack said. "Those are countries that we can work with." tion Iran denies. Iran asserts it has a right to peaceful nuclear power and needs it to meet its economy's voracious energy needs. Iran's program has prompted several Mideast countries to announce plans of their own — to blunt Tehran's rising regional influence. "A lot of this is political and strategic," said Jon Wolfsthal, a nonproliferation expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Egypt's nuclear ambition is a response to the proposed opening of Iran's nuclear plant next year. A recognizable voice with irresistible charm...

The rally is tonight from 6 to 8 in the Student Recreation Fitness Center parking lot. At press time, special events coachman Trey Anderson, Wichita junior, was unsure whether Kansas coach Mark Mangino or cornerback Aqib Talib would be speaking, but he confirmed that at least one, if not both, would be at the rally. Women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson also will speak. The Alumni Association, Athletics Department and Student Travel Association also will be at the event with promotional booths and free giveaways. Free Coca-Cola products, popcorn and cotton candy will also be available "We will have a lot of fun giveaways: tattoos, pompoms and mini-footballs," said Jennifer Alderdice, student programs director for the Alumni Association. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the Athletics Department was using its booth as a way to publicize its new attendance incentive program. Rock Chalk Rewards, as well as free promotional items such as team posters, schedule cards and magnets. Rock Chalk Rewards is a free program that allows students to earn awards points for attending sporting events. The points go toward prizes for the student; the more games attended, the better the gifts will be. Marchiony expressed his appreciation for the pep rally. "The pep rally is an excellent event and helps build excitement for the upcoming game on Saturday. However, we don't consider the rally an event for just the athletes and sports programs. We believe the purpose of the event is to promote the University and Lawrence communities. The homecoming steering committee has done an excellent job achieving that goal," he said. No time will be left for the spirit to die down during the rally. Every moment has something planned, including the breaks between performing groups. "There will be KU trivia between Jayhawk Jingle performances. The students that answer correctly will all win prizes," said Jay Benedict, Rosland junior and homecoming special events coordinator. The pep rally provides an opportunity for groups to earn points; helping with setup and tear-down of the rally will warrant five points per person, for as much as 25 points per group.

Through the grill's rising smoke, Miller can look across the street and see Station No. 5 of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical at 1911 Stewart Ave. Miller, Overland Park Junior, has lived at the Chase Court Apartments, 1942 Stewart Ave., since August 2005. He said he liked the short walk to campus, the close proximity to 23rd Street and the quiet surroundings at the apartments. About a few times a month, Miller invites friends to his apartment to play poker and cook burgers on his second-floor balcony. "I usually cook out once or twice a week," Miller said. But because of a new city law, Miller's grilling days might be coming to an end. And his next juicy cheeseburger might be served with a $100 fine from the fire department. At the Sept. 25 Lawrence City Commission meeting, the commission passed Ordinance No. 8055, which adopted the 2006 edition of the International Fire Code. Richard Barr, division chief for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, said the new code prohibited the use of charcoal and pramane barbecue grills on apartment decks or balconies made of wood or other combustible materials. Barr also said the law affected other multi-family dwellings, such as a Greek chapter houses and lodging houses. A lodging owners and managers had advocated this type of law for years "For years the property managers and property owners have called and said, 'Does the fire department have a law that does not allow cooking on balconies?' " Barr said. "I would tell them, 'No we don't, but we discourage it.'" Barr said he suggested to most property managers to ban cooking on balconies in their leases and told them Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical would support such bans. The Legends Place Apartments, 4101 W 29th Place, already had a rule that banned barbecue grills on balconies. Susan Rinke, property manager at The Legends Place, said if tenants used barbecue grills, they had to be at least 10 feet away from the building. The Legends Place also offers commu- ered a lodging house. Mutert said he and his roommates had used their grill about 10 times on their two-story deck since August. Mutert said he didn't understand why the city differentiated between single-family houses and lodging houses. "I think it's unfair because I think we're just as responsible as a family would be living here," Mutter said. "I know that the population of people that live in apartments are going to be concerned with the government restrictions being put on them." nity grilling areas at designated places in the complex. Rinke said she didn't anticipate the new law affecting her tenants. house is a home in which more than three people who are not related live. The new law does not affect single-family homes or duplexes. RICHARD BARR Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical division chief Barr said the solution for lodging houses was simple. Barr said most additions to the city fire code dealt with safety issues. Although Barr couldn't give specific numbers, he said he remembered numerous issues with grills and apartment fires within the past few years. He also said that Lawrence property "If you just move the grill into your yard, then you're fine," Barr "Residents here have always been good about complying with the rules," Rinke said.

Apartments, 905 Avalon road., will be affected by the new law. Owner Mary Lemerfany said her tenants were allowed to use portable minigrills that use 1-pound propane canisters. She said fire But apartment still have questions. Miller wanted to know how the new law would be enforced. Barr said the penalty for grilling on a balcony was a misdemeanor fine of $100 to $200. But Barr said Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical was not an enforcement agency. "We don't cruise the streets looking for violations," Barr said. "But if we observe it, we are technically bound to correct it." For a student such as Miller, who lives 500 feet from a fire station, this could be a problem. "I just hope they don't find out I'm still using it," Miller said. "But I'm not getting rid of my grill until somebody forcibly makes me." Barr envisions that enforcement will be complaint-driven. If property owners call him with complaints and the fire department witnesses a person grilling, it will issue that person a citation. "I know that the population of people that live in apartments are going to be concerned with the government restrictions being put on them," Barr said. "But we do it because we have fires." The 2006 edition of the International Fire Code, which the city adopted, is edited every three years. The International Code Council will issue the next edition of the International Fire Code in 2009. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell 》 COURTS Supreme Court could let Exxon avoid punitive damages for 1989 oil spill BY MARK SHERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER The image provided is highly blurred and too low resolution to accurately recognize any text or details. It appears to be aerial or satellite imagery of a coastal landscape. However, no clear text can be discerned from this viewpoint. WASHINGTON — Eighteen years after the worst oil spill in U.S. history, its victims suddenly face the prospect of having a $2.5 billion judgment wrested away from them by the Supreme Court. A federal appeals court had already cut in half the $5 billion puristic damages award that a jury decided Exxon Mobil Corp. should pay for the huge Exxon Valdez oil spill that fouled more than 1,200 miles of Alaska coastline in 1989. Working in 1989 to clean up the oil spilled by the tanker Exxon Valdez, fishing boats patrol the waters off Erlington Island on Prince William Sound, Alaska. The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to decide whether Exxon Oil Corp. should pay $2.5 billion in punitive damages in connection with the huge Exxon Oil spill that fouled more than 1,200 miles of Alaskan coastline. The justices said Monday they would consider whether Exxon Mobil, which already has paid $3.4 billion in cleanup costs and other penalties, should face any punitive damages at all. ASSOCIATED PRESS Eleven million gallons of oil poured into Prince William Sound when Exxonx supertantricker hit a reef, an environmental disaster that killed hundreds of thousands of seabirds and marine animals. Few companies could afford the award as easily as Exxon Mobil, the plaintiffs' lawyers said in urging the court to turn down the case. The money is "barely more than three weeks of Exxon's net profits," they said. Irving, Texas-based Exxon Mobil is the world's largest publicly traded oil company and last year posted the largest annual profit by a U.S. company — $39.5 billion. That result topped the previous record, also by Exxon Mobil, of $36.13 billion set in 2005. Roughly 20 percent of the original plaintiffs have died since the lawsuit began. The plaintiffs still living include about 33,000 commercial fishermen, cannery workers, landowners, Native Alaskans, local governments and businesses. "After more than 18 years, it is time for this protracted litigation to end," they said, quoting the appeals court judges who ratified the $2.5 billion figure. Still, even after being halved, the award would be the largest punitive damages judgment ever. Exxon said it should not have to pay a penny of it. Mike Webber of Cordova, Alaska, a Native Alaskan fisherman, said any money would be insufficient. "I ... would have been able to make twice what I make now if the fisheries had stayed healthy," Webber said Monday after learning of the court's action. The justices on this business-friendly court agreed that the issues laid out by the company were worthy of review. Exxon contended it should pay no punitive damages under the Clean Water Act and centuries-old laws governing shipping, saying the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals mistakenly upheld the $2.5 billion judgment. The Supreme Court reverses lower court decisions about 75 percent of the time. decisions about 75 percent of the time. John Paul Jones, a University of Richmond law professor and expert in maritime law, said the court was right to jump into the case because lower courts long have been divided on some of the issues peculiar to the laws concerning accidents on the water. Justice Samuel Alito, who owns between $100,000 and $250,000 in Exxon stock, did not take part in the decision to accept the appeal.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2007 PAGE 7A Technology connects globally, distances locally TUESDAY MORNING a hint forku.org COM Bryce Graham UJ MENT 市 of Kansas The convenience of the electronic communication age cuts down on time actually spent talking with others ! We live in a global world. I can e-mail relatives in New dy on Facebook facebook. supports the Jena 61 / or sleepover in the relatives in New Zealand, find out the news in China and shop in Tahiti, all through my trusty laptop. With communication, distance is no longer a problem. Yet, while we busy ourselves, making distances irrelevant, we can in fact distance ourselves from the people nearest to us. According to a survey conducted in January by SuperSoft Incorporated, 64 percent of Americans say they spend more time with their computer than with their significant other. While this survey doesn't consider that a majority of that computer time may be spent at those with friends and family as well. As a freshman in high school, the first major "technological" device I owned (besides a TV) work, the survey does demonstrate the effect technology can bring to our relationships. Technology can affect not just 'significant' relationships, but KIRSTEN HUDSON was a computer. For weeks after I first received it, I holed up in my room for days, like a 30-year old drop-out living in his parents' basement playing "World of Warcraft." My game of choice however, was "The Sims," a computer game that allows you to create people and basically Technology not only brings run their lives. I spent hours hunched over my computer creating pretend families and friends while completely ignoring my real ones. fast entertainment, but also convenience. Supposedly technology can enhance our relationships, since contacting others through cell phones, e-mail and IM'ing all make the most important factor of relationships, communication, incredibly convenient. It has become so convenient that I have friends who talk to me through nothing but text messages, making even phone calls obsolete. With college students, it seems as if text messages are becoming the standard form of communication. They are fabulous, if you want to tell a friend about the guy next to you falling asleep and nearly drooling on your shoulder during lecture. But when it's your sole form of communication, it's time to rethink your relationships. When it comes to true conversation, convenience isn't always completely satisfying. Somehow a smiley face sent via text just doesn't convey the same meaning as a genuine smile. Technology also distances us from spending time with other people. Periodic e-mails, weekly conversations and steady text messages make us feel like we actually have spent time with others. We can become so caught up in our busy lives that we hardly notice we haven't actually interacted with anyone. Sometimes I feel as if I'm checking people off a mental list. Yes, called mom. Need to call grandma. Fast communication makes us forget that being together is As with any good, there's always a bad. Technology overcomes distances, but also creates them. With close relationships, technological communication should not replace the real kind. At times a relationship with your computer can seem almost human-like. After all, the same emotions are there: fondness, annoyance when it doesn't work out and anger, but wouldn't it be more enjoyable (and less weird) to experience these emotions with someone that doesn't come with a carrying case? not the same. It distances us. DRAWING BOARD Hudson is a Wichita sophomore in journalism and business. PEOPLE WHO PUT SWEATERS ON THEIR DOGS HOULD BE MANNED AS ENEMY COMBATANTS.

GUEST COLUMN E MATTHEW RISSIEN Every morning I wake up and read the Daily Kansan. I read what's going on in Lawrence. The Crossing, sports and anything you would imagine a typical student at the University of Kansas would read. However, I am not a typical KU student. In fact, as of this year, I'm not even considered a KU student. My friends consider me one of the biggest Jayhawk supporters they know, yet I am not seen as a current student because I am spending the year studying in Israel. Growing up, I attended a Jewish day school in Overland Park. Junior year, I decided I wanted to become a Rabbi. However, I wanted to be a Jayhawk so badly that I decided to go to KU instead of a smaller school. I couldn't have asked for anything better after joining Alpha Epsilon Pi and becoming "the Scooby Doo guy." However, after two years at KU, I decided I wanted to take a year to study in Israel. I thought I would be supported by the University, seeing how strongly they encouraged studying abroad, but I was disturbed when I heard that studying in Israel was not an option. Last month, I was reading the online Kansan. I saw the front page article about a bunch of students, friends of mine, petitioning for study abroad in Israel. It brought an immediate smile to my face. However, a week later I looked in the editorial section and found a very disheartening article countering, saying that study abroad in Israel should not be institutionalized. While it has taken me longer than I would have liked, I knew I had to write an article sharing my experiences as an American studying in Jerusalem. I hesitated coming to Israel because of my fear of safety. I watched CNN and saw all the horrors and realities of the terrorist attacks and threats. I saw Jews and Muslims fighting and hating each other. I saw a dangerous and war-torn country where people can't even walk the streets or ride the buses, because it is too dangerous. Now I recognize the media's exaggeration of the facts. Immediately after getting off the plane, I felt a sense of comfort and safety. Everyone welcomed me and told me how happy they were that I made the commitment to come for a year, despite the fact that my university wouldn't support me. I got on a public bus, with great hesistance, only to find that it was incredibly safe. In Israel, before going into malls, you must open your bags and go through security. In America, people are kidnapped from malls, or shootings occur in schools. In Israel, that is unfathomable. Women and men walk around alone at night, and don't feel any threats whatsoever. You can't even walk around Lawrence at night without feeling a sense of insecurity. And they call Israel dangerous? Israel is a country that all religions relate to, and I think it's unfair that the University denies students the right to this experience. I have one last thing for everyone to think about: If travelling to this country is prohibited, I think the University should think about the safety of University-sponsored studies in countries like France or England as well as our daily trips to the Oak Park Mall, New York, even our very own beloved Massachusetts Street. How many years in a row will there be a shooting at Abe and Jakes or the Granada? Before worrying about safety in Israel, start worrying about safety in our own towns. Until that happens, it is hypocritical to say Israel is unsafe. Can't the University see that things aren't always as bad as the media portrays? I highly urge the University to re-instate study abroad in Israel, and commend my peers and fellow students on their efforts with the issue.

Smith 1 8A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2007 CRIME Co-defendant takes plea deal, set to testify against Simpson LAS VEGAS — A man whose lawyer said he could testify that O.J. Simpson asked him to bring guns to a confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers told a judge 6n Monday that he would accept a plea deal and testify against Simpson and two other men. Michael McClinton, 49, of Las Vegas, became the third man to agree to plead guilty to reduced charges in return for his testimony. He told justice of the Peace Joe M. Bonaventure he would plead guilty to robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery. He could receive probation or as many as 11 years in prison. McClinton wielded a gun and acted like a police officer Sept. 13 when Simpson and five other men confronted collectibles dealers Bruce Fromong and Alfred Beardsley at an off-strip casino hotel, police reports said. Walter Alexander, aSimpson golfing buddy from Mesa, Ariz., who also took a plea deal and agreed to testify in the case, told police that McClinton gave a gun to him, but that he never took it out of his waistband. McClinton, a security guard whose guns were confiscated and who agreed to surrender his concealed weapons permit, spoke in court only to acknowledge he understood the terms of the plea agreement and to waive his preliminary hearing. The judge declined to lift house arrest restrictions for McClinton, who posted $32,000 bail after he was arrested Sept. 18. In brief comments outside the courtroom, McClinton's lawyer, William Terry, confirmed that McClinton could testify Simpson asked him to bring two guns when they went to the hotel room at the Palace Station casino. ASSOCIATED PRESS "There's no reason to dispute that." Terry said. Terry said McClinton's testimony at a scheduled Nov. 8 preliminary hearing will come before his Nov. 13 plea. The lawyer said further details of McClinton's role would come out "during the course of the preliminary hearing or ... after he enters his plea." McClinton's testimony would provide prosecutors with another account contradicting Simpson's claim that no guns were involved when he went to retrieve items he said belonged to him. A. K. MUNZER His plea is not a surprise, said Simpson attorney Yale Galanter. He thought McClinton would be the last cooperating witness. "What this comes down to is the real bad guys are pointing a finger at O.J., and the prosecution is giving away the courthouse to try to shore up their case," Galanter told The Associated Press. "We look forward to cross-examining these witnesses at the preliminary hearing next week." Simpson and co-defendants Clarence Stewart and Charles Ehrlich each face 12 criminal charges, including kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy and coercion and one gross misdemeanor, conspiracy to commit a crime. A kidnapping conviction alone could result in a sentence of life in prison with parole. Lawyers for Stewart and Ehrlich did not respond to messages seeking comment about McClinton's plea deal. Alexander told police that Charles Howard Cashmire, a co-defendant in the D.J. Simpson armed robbery case, told a judge Monday he would plead guilty to a felony and testify against Simpson and four others in the hotel room theft of sports collections from two memorabia dealers. Cashmire, a Las Vegas resident, could receive probation or as many as 11 years in prison. Simpson said to bring guns, and told him later to deny that guns were used. Alexander pleaded guilty to felony conspiracy to commit robbery, and could face probation or up to six years in prison. Charles Cashmore, a union laborer from Las Vegas, pleaded guilty to felony accessory to robbery and also agreed to testify against the three men. He could receive probation or up to five years in prison. Authorities say memorabilia taken from the hotel room included football game balls signed by Simpson, Joe Montana lithographs, baseballs autographed by Pete Rose and Duke Snider, photos of Simpson with the Heisman Trophy and framed awards and plaques, together valued at as much as $100,000, according to police reports.

Olmert announced Monday that he had prostate cancer but that the disease was not life-threatening, and that he would continue to perform his duties. ASSOCIATED PRESS שטח המעבדים Israeli prime minister reveals cancer diagnosis Ehud Olmert expected to make full recovery after short surgery, should resume control of position on same day of operation 》 WORLD BY MATTI FRIEDMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told Israelis on Monday that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer but said that the disease was not life-threatening and would not disrupt his work as the country's leader. The disclosure came at a sensitive time in Mideast diplomacy, with Olmert and another one-time prostate cancer patient — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas — struggling to bridge gaping differences ahead of a U.S.-brokered peace conference. Speaking calmly before a packed hall of reporters, Olmert said that the disease was caught early and that he would have surgery "over the next few months." Vice Premier Haim Ramon said the surgery would be done after the conference. "I will be able to carry out my duties fully before the treatment and within hours afterward," Olmert said. "My doctors ... informed me that there is a full chance of recovery and there is nothing about the tumor that is life-threatening or liable to impair my performance or my ability to carry out the mission which has been bestowed upon me. "It is a matter of a microscopic growth, it hasn't spread and can be removed by a short surgical procedure. According to the medical opinion, there will be no need for radiation treatment or chemotherapy," Olmert said. Israeli leaders traditionally kept information on their private lives and health from the public, but that changed abruptly when Olmert's predecessor, Ariel Sharon, suffered a stroke that left him comatose in January 2006. Many Israelis felt they should have been better informed about their leader's ill health and that concern clearly contributed to Olmert's swift and detailed announcement of his diagnosis. The 62-year-old Olmert spoke for about three minutes before leaving the room and turning the podium over to his doctors. The news came just ahead of a U.S.-brokered summit designed to relaunch long-stalled peace talks. It was not clear how or if Olmert's illness would affect his troubled efforts to frame a common outline with the Palestinians before the conference, scheduled to take place in Annapolis, Md., in November or December. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Olmert's illness was not likely to delay the conference. "We wish him very well," she said. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called Olmert "to wish him a speedy recovery," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said. Benita Ferrero-Waldner, the European Union's commissioner for external relations, said: "I've seen Prime Minister Olmert in the morning. I must say he was serene, he was joking, he was open and he was very much in control of himself," she said. "Personally I don't think that this will jeopardize the talks." He said he did not expect Olmert's illness to affect Rice's plans to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories beginning this weekend. One of Olmert's doctors, Shlomo Segev, said the prime minister had a biopsy Oct. 19 and received the results Friday. He said the cancer showed up in only one of 12 samples taken from Olmert's prostate. When Olmert was informed of the results, "There was nothing that showed fear" Segev said. Another of his doctors, Yaacov Ramon, said treatment could wait several months without any risk, and that surgery should eliminate the cancer. The chances of full recovery are 95 percent, he said. He said men who had the surgery were usually hospitalized for three days, followed by a recuperation period at home during which they could work. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni is expected to take over if Olmert is incapacitated. The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland beneath the base of the penis that makes seminal fluid.

Considered a back-room operator with considerable political talent but little charisma, Olmert nonetheless led the new Kadima Party formed by Sharon to victory in parliamentary elections two months later. Sharon remains unconscious and is hospitalized in a long-term care facility. Though pilloried for mishandling Israel's war against Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon that summer, Olmert has managed to keep his coalition government together despite dismal approval ratings. "We wish him a speedy recovery, and we hope to continue working with him toward achieving a two-state solution and ending the Israeli occupation that began in 1967," Erekat said. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat sent his best wishes to the Israeli leader. In recent months, he has been meeting regularly with Abbas in an effort to draft a joint statement on peace ahead of the Annapolis conference. Abbas had surgery for prostate cancer in 2001. Several high-profile U.S. politicians have disclosed their battles with cancer in recent years, including three current U.S. presidential candidates. 66 Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was sidelined politically in 2000 after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, only to reenter the fray ahead of next year's presidential race. Former "Law & Order" star Fred Thompson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Republican Sen. John McCain has had three bouts with melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer. According to Cancer Research UK, more than 670,000 men worldwide are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, making it the second most common cancer in men after lung cancer. It is found mainly in men older than 55, and the average age of diagnosis is 70, according to the European Society for Medical Oncology. Ramon said doctors planned to remove Olmert's prostate gland. Treatment often leads to problems having sex or controlling the bladder, so finding a way to distinguish which tumors can safely be left alone is the field's top priority. Olmert, who first entered par- Elizabeth Edwards, wife of presidential candidate John Edwards, announced her breast cancer had returned, and White House spokesman Tony Snow recently had surgery for cancer that spread to his liver.

I know what you're thinking. What does a 1980s new-wave rock band that's popular with hipsters in skinny jeans have to do with football? Well, everything. At least, it did at that precise time and place. You see, the song that came on the radio minutes after the game was a song called "Once in a Lifetime." It was one of those perfect music-meets-life moments that only seem to happen in Cameron Crowe movies. But the song "Once in a Lifetime" asks an appropriate question: "How did we get here?" How did we get to a point where Kansas football is 8-0? How did Kansas ever get to the point where it's a double-digit favorite against Nebraska? How did we get here, indeed? different paths Kansas Nebraska AP Ranking — Nov. 3, 2001 NR 2 AP Ranking — Nov. 3, 2007 8 NR Record (1997 to Nov. 3, 2001) 23-33 54-7 Record (Nov. 3, 2001 to present) 34-37 44-32 2007 Record (Big 12) 8-0 (4-0) 4-5 (1-4) BY RUSTIN DODD RDODD@KANSAN.COM Nov. 3, 2001. Seems like a while ago, right? Well, on Saturday, Nov. 3, 2007, Kansas plays host to Nebraska on the sixth anniversary of what might go down as the best day in the history of Kansas football. On Nov. 3, 2001, Nebraska came to Lawrence led by future Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch. Crouch punished Kansas all night long, and Nebraska's blackshirts held Kansas to 1-14 on third down conversions as the Cornhuskers rolled over the lavwhacks 51-7 Pretty good day for a Jayhawk fan, eh? Actually, it was. The loss dropped Kansas to 2-6 for the season, and within 24 hours Kansas coach Terry Allen was asked to clean out his office. A month later, Kansas hired Mark Mangino. Slowly, the real "Mangenius" began to rebuild the program that Allen left in shambles. The project started with defense. Nick Reid, Banks Floodman, Kevin Kane and Charles Gordon helped Kansas back to respectability with bowl appearances in 2003 and 2005. SEE DODD ON PAGE 3B BASKETBALL New ruling to clean up bench etiquette Kansas coach Bill Self has a heated discussion with a referee during the home game against Missouri last year. The NCAA recently memo to a memo and coaches says they would emphasize bench decorum this season. Cursing ban will change flavor, intensity of game KANSAN FILE PHOTO A BY MARK DENT MDENT@KANSAN.COM Dean Smiths record of 879 NCAA victories was broken last season. But he still has another record — a behavior record. Smith, a former North Carolina coach, never cursed, and according to John Feinstein's "A March to Madness," he had a good reason. Smith smoked. He drank. He was afraid if he started cursing his mother would stop speaking to him. Well, if all mothers feel that way, this could be the Year of the Mom in college basketball. The NCAA is emphasizing bench decorum for the 2007-2008 season. Referees are supposed to give technical fouls for using inappropriate language, disrespecting an official or attempting to influence a call, taunting opponents and leaving the coaching box. That means coaches can't curse at referees or their players. The NCAA has come up with strange rulings in the past. It once punished the Utah basketball program for violations that included former coach Rick Majerus buying a player breakfast at a diner the morning after he found out the player's father died. Heinous, huh? But "bench decorum" doesn't even make sense. These are college basketball games, not delitate balls. Four-letter words are as much a part of the game as shoes and sports drinks. Smith is unique. Duke coach Mike Kryzewski's sailor mouth is renowned throughout the sport. North Carolina coach "Sometimes it's easier to get through to a player by yelling." ing gets a player's attention and creates a sense of urgency. Senior guard Rodrick Stewart can relate.

He写了 that curs- RODRICK STEWART Senior guard "The only time you really see coaches yell at players is when they do something wrong," he said. "They correct them on a mistake. Sometimes it's easier to get through to a player by velling." And really, what's wrong with a little bit of colorful language? The players are adults. So are the coaches and the referees. Kids watching the game from the stands are too far away, and they wouldn't be able to hear it through the television screen.

McAnderson rushed for 183 yards and scored two touchdowns in Saturday's name against Texas & A.M. KANSAN FILE PHOTO! McAnderson shines in running back performance BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Brandon McAnderson spent his first three years at Kansas perfectly filling the role of backfield: He willingly and adeptly blocked for his quicker and more famous teammates and plodded down the field three yards at a time on the rare occasion he got the ball. Brandon McAnderson the fullback was nowhere to be found Saturday night at Texas A&M. Instead, the senior running back shot through gaps rather than filling them and dodged defenders instead of pummeling them as he cut and galloped his way to 183 rushing yards and two touchdowns. McAnderson certainly looked different, but he had not altered his attitude. "I really don't want people to think nothing about me," he said. "I just want to be a part of this offense and make some plays here and there." The Lawrence native made plays almost everywhere in last Saturday's 19-11 Kansas victory. He broke three runs of 20 or more yards in the first half and placed an exclamation point on his stellar night with a career-long 40-yard sprint down the left sideline in the fourth quarter. He rushed 21 times and averaged nearly nine yards per carry, providing the Kansas offense with consistency when the Aggies bottled up sophomore running back Jake Sharp and pressured sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing.

The sophomore quarterback earned mention as a semifinalist for the Davey OBrien National Quarterback Award on Monday. Fifteen players were chosen as semifinalists for the award, given after the season to the nation's best quarterback based on criteria such as academics, character, skills and accomplishment.

Kansas coach Mark Mangino attributed his team's recent success on the road to a raised confidence level.

"When we played well out on the road in our first game in Manhattan, our door that DANIEL BROWN Mangino they had a chance to be a good football team." Mangino said. "They knew that they were a confident team and a good team and could perhaps win a bunch of games." HOW TO HANDLE SUCCESS Despite the Jayhawks' confidence, Mangino credited his team's ability to put success to the side and handle a new opponent each week. As one of only five undefeated teams remaining in the nation, Kansas is certainly bowl-bound and could be headed for a BCS berth. The importance of staying grounded and focusing on the task at hand is something coaches have stressed, Mangino said. "They've really been a smart bunch of kids to work with," Mangino said, "and I think they understand that if they take the task at hand and just stay focused on that, the other things tend to take care of themselves."

The Red Sox swept the series when they beat the Colorado Rockies 4-3 in Game 4 on 5th Avenue at Coors Field in Denver. Red Sox rejoicing Edwards draws driver criticism after multiple confrontations >> NASCAR ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — With his trademark backflip, toothy grin and jovial personality, Carl Edwards rocketed his way to NASCAR superstar status. Now his Nextel Cup rivals claim that the Mr. Nice Guy routine was nothing more than an elaborate act designed to con the NASCAR community. In the fallout from his showdown with teammate Matt Kenseth, drivers lined up to assail Edwards' character and expose him as a phony Figuring out what to believe isn't so easy. No matter how genuine Edwards may or may not be, there's something a bit unseemly about people only speaking up when given the opportunity to kick a colleague when he's down. Make no mistake, people piled on "He seems to not be getting along with some of the other drivers that are over there," said former Roush driver Kurt Busch. "I've seen it all along with him. He'll give you that flashy smile at the same time he's got something underneath his breath for you. Now it's just starting to appear." Elliott Sadler claimed Edwards took offense to critical comments he made about him two years ago when Edwards bumped him out of the lead on the last lap of a Busch Series race at Richmond. Sadler said it led to a confrontation the next day — in the middle of the driver's meeting — in which Edwards approached him in the same menacing manner he did to Kenseth a week ago. "Racing with Carl, he seems to have a lot of problems with a lot of different people." Sadler said.

It means he's very much like almost every other driver: Still learning the complexities of the Nextel Cup garage and how to manage it all. things with a racerac. I just think sometimes he can't control his attitude. He's really a nice guy. He really is. He just sometimes lets his attitude get the best of him." It takes a long time for most drivers to learn how to walk the line. They don't just arrive in NASCAR as smart as Jeff Burton, as savvy as Gordon or as polished as Johnson. "I can say that I really learned how people felt about me." Edwards said, "which is nice because it definitely seems from what I've learned this week that a lot of people don't mind walking around feeling a certain way about you and they don't say how they feel until it's popular to say it." Edwards couldn't help but notice that an incident between him and Kenseth made it open season for everyone in the garage to weigh in. Why is that? Mark Martin, a 25-year veteran of the Cup garage, has it all figured out. "Being in that garage is just like going to high school," he said. "You've got the people you like, you've got the people you tolerate and you've got the people you can't stand. It's the same thing."

He scored nine touchdowns and ran for 684 yards in Kansas' first eight games. MCANDERSON (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Kansas moving defenders and making lanes. As a redshirt freshman in 2004, McAnderson saw limited playing time as a fullback but emerged as a special teams standout and played in all 11 games. In 2005, McAnderson's role in the offense increased and he won the team's Most Improved Offensive Player award. Last season, he earned All-Big 12 Second Team recognition for his blocking as the Jayhawks' starting fullback. During his first 35 games, the Lawrence High graduate carried the ball 56 times for 227 yards. This season, McAnderson eclipsed those totals before Big 12 Conference play even started. Serving as the "thunder" in the Jayhawks' "thunder and lightning" rushing attack, McAnderson has tallied 688 yards and nine touchdowns in the team's first eight games. McAnderson is spearheading the 14th-ranked rushing offense in the nation, but opponents and the national media have not paid him much attention. Most of the hype surrounding Kansas football's 8-0 start has been devoted to Reesing, and after Saturday's game, Texas A&M defensive end Michael Bennett said he was not impressed by McAnderson. Bennett and the experts may not have noticed, but McAnderson has become one of the most effective running backs — not fullbacks — in the Big 12. Edited by Rachel Bock >> NFL Unbeaten Patriots, Colts meet in Indy Pundits touting match-up as Game of the Millennium BY DAVE GOLDBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS So the invincible Patriots and Colts have reached the Game of the Millennium, as punctuated by two scenes following easy wins on Sunday. Bill Belichick, barely audible, mumbled into a microphone that Indianapolis was the best team in football. Tony Dungy, smiling, said he didn't want to talk about The Game of the Millennium until Wednesday, then added: "It's going to be a circus." Just shows that great football coaches aren't all from the same mold. So different in personality are Dungy and Belichick that the only similarities are rather funky extiriors: the famous sleeveless sweat shirt Belichick wears on the sideline and the aging Chevy Blazer Dungy parks in a lot otherwise full of players' ultra-luxury vehicles. They meet again next Sunday, unbeaten New England at unbeaten Indianapolis, combined winners of four of the last six Super Bowls and both dominant this season in the AFC, the far superior conference. New England's victory raised a legitimate question whether the 2007 version of Belichick was running up the score. Prime examples of their superiority were on display Sunday when each demolished presumed challengers from the NFC, the Colts beating Carolina 31-7 and the Patriots routing the Redskins 52-7. Hardly a charming personality, he's never hung out with opposing coaches. This year, dislike for him runs deeper after "Spygate," the confiscation of tapes showing New York Jets defensive signals that cost Belichick a $500,000 fine from the NFL, the Patriots $250,000 more and the loss of a first-round draft pick. Now there is the perception Belichick is coaching angry, seemingly intent on proving he doesn't need to cheat. After New England's eight victory, the questions that weren't about running up on the score on the Redskins (going for first downs on fourth-1 with 38-0 and 45-0 leads) were about Indy. Answers from Belichick and players from Tom Brady down all were something like: "They're the Super Bowl champions and they're unbeaten, so they're the best team in the league right now. We will have our hands full." able to step outside the very narrow world of a football coach with his "circus" line.

Then he plucked a quarterback from Austin, Texas, who didn't look big enough start for the frat league intramural champs. let alone in the Big 12 All the while, the real Manganius molded walk-ons and two-star recruits into contributing Big 12 players, while sticking to the principle that wins ballgames: Run the ball and stop the run. appears to be one of the final days in the great Nebraska dynasty. The next week, Nebraska beat Kansas State 31-21, but 13 days later on Nov. 23, in front of 53,790 fans in Boulder, Colo., the Nebraska dynasty perished. Funny enough — unless you're a Nebraska fan — Nov. 3, 2001, now Colorado pasted Nebraska 62-36 and left a wound that has never healed. Thanks to some clever BCS computer logic, Nebraska still managed to play in the National Championship game, but Miami thumped Big Red, 37-14. In 2002, Nebraska went 7-7, and coach Frank Solich was fired following the 2003 season. Nebraska hired Bill Callahan to replace Solich. Callahan is on his way to his second losing season in four years, and his hiring appears to be the worst hire by a Big 12 school since, well, Kansas hired Terry Allen. So that's how we got here. That's how Kansas became a Big 12 power and Nebraska a Big 12 pushover. Wohl-a thunk that six years after Kansas' 51-7 loss, the program would be where it is today? You know what, the Talking Heads were right. This team is really a "Once in a Lifetime" group. Edited by Matt Erickson DENT (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Outside of Bob Knight's chair throw in the 1980s, a cursing outburst rarely turns into a bigger ordeal. will have trouble making it to the first TV timeout for West Virginia. Besides, referees will have a tough time drawing the line. Is "hell" an inappropriate word? What about "damn"? Surprisingly, coaches are still in support of the new ruling, including Kansas coach Bill Self. The ruling could also create controversies about how it would be enforced. Former Kansas State coach Bobby Huggs barely said a non-curse word last year when his team played host to Kansas. If a coach really does get T'd up every time he curses, Huggs "I think it's good," he said. "That's something the officials and the rules committee have been adamant about. We got so many memos about that last year. I really don't see it being a problem in our league. I think it's good as a whole." But will he think that when a curse word changes the outcome of a game? Just wait. It will happen. A coach could easily lose his temper during the last minute of a close game, curse and get a technical. The other team would get two free throws and possession of the basketball. A close game won't just come down to one basket anymore. It will come down to one word. Damn. At least mom will be happy. Edited by Rachel Bock basketball notebook RUSH UPDATE Junior guard Brandon Rush can do everything in practice except contact drills. During some parts of practice, he has to wear a yellow jersey so players will know to go easy on him. That doesn't mean they go easy on him with their comments. Rush said junior guard Mario JAMES HUGHES Rush Chalmers called him "Bumblebee." Kansas coach Bill Self said he didn't know when Rush would be cleared for contact. Self called sophomore forward Darrell Arthur the most improved player on the team and said he should help fill the void left from Julian Wright's departure. Arthur "If he plays to his capability,he can be not the passer but a bigger producer, points and rebounds wise," Self said. Nikhil Siva JAYHAWKS IN THE NBA The Miami Heat traded former Jayhawk Wayne Simien to the Minnesota Timberwolves last week, but Simien might never wear a Minnesota jersey. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Simien will likely be released. He is still recovering from a knee injury. Self said Simien would be a good NBA player if not for injuries. "I've still never coached a better college player," Self said. "There was nobody I coached you could pencil in before the game 23 and 11. It was just done. He could play bad and get 20."

The task of deciding the top 10 games was not a one-person job, so I turned to an expert to help choose the best games so far this decade; my roommate, Kyle Martin. Martin is a sophomore from Worth, Texas, and a fifth-generation Jayhawk. He was born on the exact day of Kansas' last national championship, April 4, 1988, easily making him qualified to help put together a list of the top 10 games of the decade up to this point. Here is our list: 1) KANSAS 88, TEXAS 84 — BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP (2007) Kelly: I have to choose between one of the two Texas games from last year, and this one probably has to be No. 1 because it was the tournament championship. This was the game in which Kevin Durant, for the second time, proved that he was a one-half player. He set the record for the most points scored in a Big 12 tournament in that game, but he just forgot to show up for the second half and overtime. Kyle: I think, based on the fact that we were down 32-10 in the first half, I had to go with the championship game as the greatest game since 2000. It went into overtime on Mario Chalmer's last-second shot. We had four players score in double figures. Sherron Collins had 20 points. We overcame Kevin Durant's 37 points to win back-to-back championships. BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM 4 7 1 3 9 8 2 5 6 00 2) KANSAS 82, FLORIDA 80 — LAS VEGAS INVITATIONAL (2007) Kelly: This was a game of a lot of people hyped up because it was two top-10 teams, one being the defending national champion and one being one of the most storied programs in college basketball history, playing on a neutral court in Vegas. Tell me a lot of people weren't betting on this game. The best part about winning this game, though, was Urban Meyer's defending the Florida team after the loss. He was talking about how Florida didn't have so many fans travel to the game because they had a big home football game in "the Swamp" and Florida was a football school: priceless. Kyle: This was Kansas' first victory against a No. 1 ranked opponent since it beat Massachusetts in 1994, back when Marcus Camby was good. Someone made this point to me today, and I thought it was excellent. The thing about the Florida game is that it was the game that reasserted Kansas' dominance as a college basketball program. The Jayhawks were coming off two disappointing years, working through their new coach transition, losing two straight in the first round of the NCAA tournament, and then they got to play Florida on a neutral court. It was also Julian Wright's coming-out party 3) KANSAS 90, TEXAS 86 ——REGULAR SEASON (2007) Kelly: The games against Texas last year may have been the best games Kansas has had against any one conference school in a season. Texas came into Lawrence and had everybody's jaws on the floor at halftime. Kevin Durant destroyed us in the first half, but we came back to win it. Kyle: This is the game that gave the Jayhawks their 50th conference championship; it gave it to them outright. This was one of the two times we got to play against maybe the best player in college basketball history. Kevin Durant, and he had 32 points in this game. 3) KANSAS 90, TEXAS 86 — everyone knew he was athletic, and this was the game they figured out that maybe he could score, too. We turned that place into Allen Fieldhouse Superwest. top 10 games of this decade Kelly: Yeah, Durant was probably the best college basketball player we'll see for a while. 1) No. 2 Kansas 88, No. 14 Texas 84 (2007) 2) No. 10 Kansas 82, No. 1 Florida 80, OT (2006) 3) No. 3 Kansas 90, No. 15 Texas 86 (2007) 4) No. 6 Kansas 78, No. 2 Arizona 75 Elite Eight (2003) 5) No. 12 Kansas 90, No. 3 Texas 87 (2003) 6) No. 21 Kansas 84, Missouri 82 (2004) 7) No. 6 Kansas 69, No. 7 Duke 65 Sweet Sixteen (2003) 8) No. 2 Kansas 70, No. 9 Georgia Tech 68 OT (2005) 9) Kansas 73, No. 19 Kentucky 46 (2006) 10) No. 6 Kansas 66, No. 8 Texas A&M 69 (2007) Kyle: Yeah, unless Michael Beasley ... wait, no. 4) KANSAS 78, ARIZONA 75 — ELITE EIGHT (2003) Honorable Mention: Kansas vs. Texas, Big 12 championship (2006), Kansas vs. Oklahoma State (2005), Kansas vs. Vermont (2005), Kansas vs. Oklahoma on Super Bowl Sunday (2006) **Kelly:** I still remember where I was when Kansas played Arizona to go to the Final Four. I was doing concessions for a fundraiser for my high school in the Bicentennial Center in Salina. Obviously, we had to listen to the game on the radio and everyone was going crazy. Also, just for some useless information, the Bicentennial Center was home to the Kansas Cagterz of the United States Basketball league, for whom Jeff Graves, a member of that 2003 Kansas squad, played for a while. **Kyle:** Arizona was the No. 1 seed in that bracket, the No. 2 team in the country, and basically Kirk Hinrich just went off with 28 points. Big daddy Jeff Graves had 13 points and 15 rebounds. This game got Hinrich the MVP of the region. It was an incredible game, tight the whole way, and Luke Walton just couldn't get it done. 5) KANSAS 90, TEXAS 87 BIG MONDAY (2003) Kelly: I am partial to Hinrich and Nick Collison. They are two of my favorite Jayhawks because my dad grew up in Iowa, and this game goes in the top 10 for me because it is the game where Collison set the record, at the time, for most rebounds in a game in the Big 12. It was a tight game and, as always, important in the Big 12 standings, considering it was against Texas, and considering that Kansas barely won the conference outright. Kyle: Maybe it's the Texas boy in me, but Texas enters my list for the third time here. Collison had 24 points and 23 rebounds and got a standing ovation from Dick Vitale. I remember pacing in my living room watching that game when I was in high school. Collison was one of the best fundamental post players Kansas has ever had, the way he pivoted down low. Anytime you can get a standing ovation from Dickie "Duke-lover" V, you gotta take it. 6) KANSAS 84, MISSOURI 82 - REGULAR SEASON (2004) 7) KANSAS 69, DUKE 65 — SWEET SIXTEEN (2003) Kelly: Kansas versus Missouri, in any sport, has to be one of the biggest rivalries in college athletics. It is the oldest rivalry west of the Mississippi River. This was Missouri's last game in its old arena, too, so we got to play spoiler. Kyle: Yeah, in a favorite for all Kansas fans, Kansas won the game on a little David Padgett turnaround. The final game at the Hearnes Center, last-second heartbreak, poetic. Kelly: Anytime Kansas can beat Duke during the season, it's a good year. Beating Duke in the NCAA tournament is all that much sweeter. This is a team that had Shelden Williams, Chris Duhon and J.Redick at the beginning of his Duke career. There may not be any greater feeling for Kansas fans than sending Duke packing in the NCAA tournament.

Kyle: In this game, Duke was ranked seventh and Kansas was ranked sixth. If you thought Collison's game against Texas was incredible, which it was, look at this one: He went off for 33 points and 19 rebounds against Duke. Two outstanding performances in back-to-back games by two of the best players KU has seen, especially playing together: the Iowa connection of Hinrich and Collison. Kyle: Interesting thing I found out about this game was that Kansas' first lead was in overtime and the second lead won the game. Keith Langford was a beast. That game had a fantastic finish, if nothing else. That was an excellent game. Kelly: This game was not close like the rest, but it was a great game because we absolutely dominated another perennial college basketball power. Ashley Judd showed up to cheer on her beloved Kentucky squad, but she had nothing to cheer about for the entire game. It was Tubby Smith's worst loss of his coaching career, and it came about a week after Indiana had set that record. It was also one of the best defensive moments for Russell Robinson because he completely owned Patrick Sparks on an open-court block that made it into SportsCenter's top 10 plays that night. 8) KANSAS 70, GEORGIA TECH 68 -- REGULAR SEA-SON (2005) 9) KANSAS 73, KENTUCKY 46 — REGULAR SEASON (2006) Kelly: This gets in the top 10 because it was the revenge game. The previous year Georgia Tech bounced us from the NCAA tournament in the Elite Eight. Keith Langford saved that game at the end. Kansas was out of it for most of the game but fought back to win in the end. It was two top-10 teams playing again, as well. Kyle: For that reason, you have to go with that game, because it was such a blowout. 10) KANSAS 95, MISSOURI 92 - REGULAR SEASON (2002) Kelly: Missouri had to get on the list twice. It's the Border Showdown and one of the nastiest rivalries in the Big 12. This was the game where Kansas cemented the perfect season in Big 12 conference play. Collien had 28 points, and Hinrich added 25 to get the jayhawks the victory. Kyle: Every year, they talk about parity in whatever conference. I don't think it's necessarily a parity thing, but rivalties are so intense in conference play and road conditions are so hostile sometimes that to pull off not only eight home wins but eight wins on the road in the Big 12 conference, I don't know if it will happen again. That was an outstanding year. That was a Final Four team, obviously. TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE! shaolinwarriors THURSDAY, NOV. 1, 7:30 P.M. HALF-PRICE TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR KU STUDENTS!

Girardi was recently interviewed by Yankees management for the vacant manager position. ASSOCIATED PRESS Bernard Cormier NEW YORK — The New York Yankees picked experience over popularity, offering the manager's job to Joe Girardi at the risk of watching Don Mattingly walk away from the franchise. Beloved as team captain, Donnie Baseball was the early favorite to replace Joe Torre and openly coveted the spot. After finding out Monday he didn't get it, Mattingly told the Yankees he had no interest in returning next year in any other coaching position. "Don was extremely disappointed to learn today that he wasn't the organization's choice to fill the managerial vacancy," Mattingly's agent, Ray Schulte, said in an e-mail. Girardi was the 2006 NL Manager of the Year with Florida, plus he has a pinstriped pedigree. The hard-nosed catcher played on three Yankees teams that won the World Series, served as their bench coach and was a TV announcer this year. "Joe Girardi is a good man," Torre said Monday on "Late Show with David Letterman." "He's got a feel for this organization." Still, spurning Mattingly — who always receives one of the loudest ovations on Old-Timers' Day — was sure to be compared to another famous Yankee snub: Babe Ruth was never offered the manager's_job_he_so_desperately wanted Mattingly was the Yankees hitting coach for three years before moving next to Torre this season. Schulte Mattingly congratulated Girardi and wished him well. A baseball official confirmed the Yankees are negotiating with Girardi's agent, Steve Mandell. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because a deal hasn't been formalized, said general manager Brian Cashman made the recommendation and it was accepted by the Yankees. Messages left for Cashman were not immediately returned. "The Yankees contacted us," Mandell said. "They have an interest in Joe becoming their manager. We've had some discussions. It's a process and we'll go through the process." He declined to say when there might be an announcement. Girardi also beat out Yankees first-base coach Tony Pena, who had the most managerial experience of the candidates. Girardi caught for the Yankees from 1996-99, served as a bench coach in 2005, then managed the Marlins the following year. He kept a young team in contention until September and then was fired, apparently for clashing with owner Jeffrey Loria and others above him. The 43-year-old Girardi often told many in the Marlins about how the Yankees did things, reinforcing the winning ways he learned in New York. Now, he'll get a chance to try them out himself.

He spent about five hours with the Yankees' baseball operations staff last week, and an hour with George Steinbrenner, sons Hank and Hal, son-in-law Felix Lopez and team president Randy Levine. Girardi turned down the Baltimore Orioles' managing job last summer, choosing to spend time with his alling father. Mattingly also interviewed for the Yankees spot last week, telling team management how much he wanted it. Earlier this month, he said replacing Torre would be quite a challenge. "it's like following John Wooden or something." Mattingly said then. "This guy wins championship after championship and we're in the playoffs in every year. "It's pretty much a no-win situation for someone coming in here to be able to live up to the expectations or live up to what he did. It's not going to happen. So as far as someone coming in and taking over this job, it's not necessarily a great situation." Girardi gets the unenviable task of following Torre, who led the Yankees to four World Series titles in his first five years — but none since — and was one of the most celebrated sports figures in the city. If Girardi takes the job, he inherits a team in transition and one without Alex Rodriguez. He also is not assured of getting back pitchers Andy Pettite and Mariano Rivera or catcher Jorge Posada. The Yankees offered Torre a one year contract featuring a hefty paycut and performance-based bonuses, and he turned it down Oct. 18. The result was a messy departure that split Yankees fans into camps of Torre supporters and proponents for change. Rodriguez informed the Yankees on Sunday that he was terminating his contract and becoming a free agent. The Yankees have repeatedly said they wouldn't negotiate with A-Rod if he hit the open market. Rocky performance in playoffs doesn't discourage team MLB BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS Success defies expectations gives hints of things to come "We won't hang our heads," Jimenez said. "We hurt. We hurt because we got so far so fast. I didn't think about the World Series when we were in Tucson. I was just hoping to make it up for the last month. I got to pitch in the World Series. I couldn't have dreamed that would happen." DENVER — Not Done. It might be gone, but it remains their mantra. Even though they were bounced by Boston in their first trip to the World Series, the Rockies insist their NL pennant, secured with a hard-to-fathom 21-1 run that captivated a city, was just a taste of things to come. The message that LaTroy Hawkins scribbled on the grease board in the Colorado clubhouse after the Rockies roared into the playoffs was wiped clean Monday as the Rockies packed their belongings and scattered for a shorter off-season than they ever could have imagined. They're a young, talented club and now one that has postseason experience. In addition to their core of big boppers including Matt Holliday, Todd Helton, Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe, the Rockies have power prospects Ian Stewart and Joe Koshansky ready to follow in the footsteps of the baby-faced Tulowitzki, who took the NL by storm with his glove, bat and a leadership that belied his 23 years. The Rockies, whose owner, Charlie Monfort, is already predicting a return trip to the World Series in 2008, can't wait to see Ubaldo Jimenez and Franklin Morales pitch a full season or for Seth Smith and Jeff Baker to continue their climbs. "This isn't a one-year flash," Troy Lutowitzki insisted Monday. "Our playoff run was a display of how our team can play. The World Series strengthened our resolve to get back here." The Rockies could lose Kaz Matsui to free agency but Stewart will get a crash course at second base in the fall league just in case, and closer Manny Corpas' emergence will make the expected loss of three-time All-Star Brian Fuentes easier to swallow. "As long as these guys are here, it's going to be a really good team for a really long time," backup catcher Chris Iannetta said. "These are some of the best players in all of baseball." The Rockies sat and watched in silence as the Red Sox celebrated their championship at Coors Field, letting the disappointment sink in to strengthen their resolve. "There's moments we're going to look back on and be very proud of what we accomplished this year," said Helton, who waited 1,578 games through a decade of dis appointment in Denver to finally taste this success. "No reason to hang our head. We accomplished a lot this season. They outplayed us. We have no reason to be upset. We made it to the World Series. We did a lot this year. We came a long way." The Rockies realize they were just in over their heads, and that's why they're not hanging them. "The better team won," Tulowitzki said. "But I felt we came a long way to get here. We have a young ballclub full of talent and hopefully we will be back." "It was tough for me to sleep last night," he added. "I couldn't get over that the season was over." The Rockies stumbled to a 17-25 start this year and spent most of the season looking up at the Diamondbacks, Padres and Dodgers in the NL West before going on a late surge that earned them a surprising play-off berth.

They continued that run in the postseason, sweeping Philadelphia and Arizona before falling short against Boston. "We came a long ways and we have nothing to be ashamed about." Hawkins said.

Denver fails to bring excitement World Series lacks competition from weak National League ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER — Three World Series sweeps in the past four years, with a five-game bore mixed in. What happened to drama in October? Josh Beckett, Manny Ramirez and the relentless Red Sox didn't do baseball any good by crushing Colorado in four games. It was a blowout from the beginning, when Boston took the opener 13-1 at Fenway Park. And with the games regularly ending after midnight EDT, there wasn't much reason for casual fans to stay up late and watch. That was the trend all postseason — five of the seven series ended in ho-hum sweeps. But don't expect an apology from anvone in Boston. Yawn. A trip to the dentist is more exhilarating. "To go through this from Day 1 until now with people that you really, really care about makes it really special," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona Sunday night after his team closed out the Rockies with a 4-3 victory at Coors Field. Still, for many fans, the only real excitement this month came in the AL championship series as the Red Sox rallied from a 3-1 deficit to defeat Cleveland in seven games. Once the World Series got under way, the big boys from the American League easily dispatched their NL counterparts — again. Starting with Boston's sweep of St. Louis to end an 86-year title drought in 2004, AL teams have dominated three drive-thru Series in the last four seasons. The Chicago White Sox swept Houston in 2005, and the Red Sox outscored Colorado 29-10 this year. The only exception was last season, when the Cardinals beat Detroit in five dreary games. Not exactly scintillating stuff. the stretch. The young Rockies won 21 of 22 games to take the pennant for the first time in their 15-year history. But then they had to wait around for eight days before the World Series started. When it did, they were rusty. The Rockies got blown away by Beckett's 97 mph fastballs as homegrown ace Jeff Francis struggled to find his command in Game 1. "The layoff hurt us. There's no doubt about it." Todd Helton said. Colorado did put up a mild fight, losing a pair of one-run games. But the Rockies hit only .218 in the Series, squandering one scoring chance after another. On the mound, they finished with an unsightly 7.68 ERA. The Red Sox batted .333, the second-highest average in Series history behind the 1960 New York Yankees — who lost to Pittsburgh. Yet the Rockies earned Boston's respect. "We beat a very good team. I hope nobody forgets that, because they gave us a battle to the end," Francona said. "I know when you look at 4-10 it may get lost. It won't on us. They're classy people and a classy organization." After decades of famous failures, the Red Sox have become a model organization themselves. They've reached the playoffs four times in the past five years, and there could be more championships to come. This team is loaded with young talent: Jonathan Papelbon, Dustin Pedroia, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz. "When our organization started adding pitching, the curse kind of went away." Francona said. Only eight players from the 2004 club were still around this year. So it's no wonder the Red Sox celebrated with such gusto Sunday night, as if they'd never won it all before. "A lot of guys weren't here for that," said Lester, the cancer survivor who pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings to earn the Game 4 win. "This is exciting." Boston has a few important decisions to make this offseason: pitcher Curt Schilling and World Series MVP Mike Lowell can become free agents, along with several lesser players. But much of the team's core returns, including David Ortiz, Jason Varitek and Kevin Youkilis. "I learned a lot from these guys this year and in the postseason," Ellsbury said. "This has been a great experience." The Red Sox have a knack for building dynasties at the start of a century. They won five titles from 1903-18. Perhaps they're in the middle of another big run. "I mean it when I say that there's not a bad guy in this clubhouse," Lester said. "Hopefully, we'll be doing this a lot more, getting to the playoffs and having a lot of fun" Maybe their next postseason series will even be a thriller. NEED CASH?

Shame on you. Boras announced during Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday night that A-Rod was opting out of the final three seasons of his contract with the New York Yankees. The timing left baseball officials livid. "We were very disappointed that Scott Boras would try to upstage our premier baseball event of the season with his announcement," Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer, said Monday in an e-mail to The Associated Press. NY "There was no reason to make an announcement last night other than to try to put his selfish interests and that of one individual player above the overall good of the game," DuPuy said. "Last night and today belong to the Boston Red Sox, who should be celebrated for their achievement, and to the Colorado Rockies, who made such an unbelievable run to the World Series." ASSOCIATED PRESS Red Sox fans sure took notice fast. After their team won the title for the second time in four seasons, they stood behind the visitors' dugout at Coors Field and chanted: "Don't sign A-Rod!" New York, which failed to make the World Series in all of Rodriguez's seasons, maintained Monday that it will not attempt to re-sign A-Rod now that he has opted out. Hank Steinbrenner did not make much of Boras' timing. "It doesn't matter to me," he said. "But I'm sure there's a lot of people that aren't very happy about it. Other baseball people, the commissioner's office, the Red Sox." "Kind of strange timing," Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said after Boston completed its sweep of Colorado. "No chance," Hank Steinbrenner, a son of owner George Steinbrenner, said Monday at Legends Field. "Not if it's made official."

Third baseman Rodriguez opted out of his $252 million, 10-year contract with the Yankees on Sunday in what appears to be the end of his career with New York. Major League Baseball chided Rodriguez's ack for making the announcement during Game 4 of the World Series. Hank Steinbrenner said the team left messages with Rodriguez, and "we really wanted to meet with him." "We wanted him to stay a Yankee. We wanted to let him know how much we wanted him," he said. "The bottom line is ... do we really want anybody that really doesn't want to be a Yankee? How the heck can you do that? Compare him with (Derek) Jeter. Jeter, since he was a little kid, all he ever wanted to do was play shortstop for the Yankees. That's what we want." New York was preparing to offer Rodriguez a four- or five-year extension worth between $25 million and $30 million annually and had hoped to meet with A-Rod to present the offer. "We expressed our interest in keeping him in pinstripes, and requested the opportunity to convey those feelings to him directly with the Steinbrener family in an open, face-to-face dialogue." Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said in a statement. Over 40 Toppings To Choose From! Rudy Tuesday 2 Small Pizzas ONLY $11.99 2 toppings 2 drinks plus tax FREE DELIVERY!

On the first play following the kickoff in overtime, Brett Favre connected on an 82-yard touchdown pass with Greg Jennings and the Green Bay Packers defeated the Denver Broncos 19-13 on Monday night. Denver had tied the score at 13 on Jason Elam's 21-yard field goal as time ran out in regulation, setting the stage for another Favre comeback. Green Bay (6-1) won the coin toss and on the first play, Jennings was matched up in man-to-man coverage on the left side. Favre, who threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to James Jones in the first half, hit Jennings in stride at the Denver 40. Cornerback Dre Bly had no shot at catching the speedy wide receiver who trotted into the end zone as Favre rushed to celebrate Green Bay's first 6-1 start in five years. The Broncos (3-4) sent it into overtime with a drive that began at their own 7 with 2:27 left. Out of timeouts, the field goal unit scrambled onto the field and Elam calmly nailed the kick, just as he did two months ago when the Broncos ran the same fire drill to beat Buffalo as time expired in the opener. Instead, they shared it with Favre, who was criticized for a series of underthrown passes against Washington last week. Denver almost had to share the spotlight with the Colorado Rockies, who were scheduled to play Game 5 of the World Series on Monday night at Coors Field before they were swept by the Boston Red Sox Sunday. Some of his best moments have come on Monday night, from his incredible game in Oakland following the death of his father to his game-winner to Antonio Freeman in overtime against Minnesota. Now he's 6-1 for the third time in his career. In 1996, Favre and the Packers parlayed a similar start into their Super Bowl title. The Packers also started out 6-1 in 2002, when they finished 12-4 but were done in by injuries and bounced out of the playoffs in the first round by Atlanta. Looking nothing like his 38 years, Favre outshone Broncos second-year quarterback Jay Cutler, widely considered the only passer in the league whose arm strength can rival Favre's. Favre finished 21-of-27 for 331 yards and a 142.4 passer rating. Cutler was 21-of-34 for 264 yards. He was sacked twice by Aaron Kampman, who also sacked wide receiver Brandon Marshall on an ill-faced trick play. Favre also drove Green Bay 98 yards for a field goal, and the Packers, last in the league in rushing, found a ground game against the NFL's worst run defense. Ryan Grant came in when DeShawn Wynn went down early with an injured shoulder and gained 104 yards on 22 carries. He became Green Bay's first 100-yard rusher since Ahman Green on Dec. 3, 2006.

With Lynch playing up in the box, Favre looked left to keep Nick Ferguson on the left side, then threw the exact type of pass critics were suggesting just a week ago that he no longer could make. Back judge Jim Howey was plowed over on the play and left the game with a strained hamstring, leaving six officials to call the game. Both teams had trouble at the edge of the end zone. Twice Green Bay stalled at the Denver 1 and settled for short field goals by Mason Crosby, who was a two-time All-American at Colorado. Denver's fub at the Packers' 1 was worse. On the first play of the second quarter, left guard Chris Kuper pulled right and accidentally punched the ball right out of Cutler's hands and linebacker Nick Barnett recovered.

When Senate committees met Oct. 24, the Student Rights Committee moved into a closed forum and asked all non-voting members of the committee and members of the media to leave. According to Article III of Student Senate Rules and Regulations, all official business of Student Senate must be open to the public. "I allowed it to happen because I was being told by people in the room that it was fine," Heilman, Lawrence sophomore, said. "I didn't know better." Thursday, Student Body president Hannah Love and vice president Ray Wittlinger sent a letter to Heilman to inform him that the meeting was in violation of rules and regulations. In the letter, they asked him to "maintain a sense of decorum in the Rights Committee while always seeing to it that Rules and Regulations are unheld." The letter also expressed concern that the meeting may have violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act, which said that all meetings of groups that are supported in whole or in part by public funds must be open to the public. Kay Johnson, director of the American Civil Liberties Union for Kansas and Western Missouri, said that whether Student Senate violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act depended on whether they were considered an administrative body by details Article III, Section 3.3.1.1 of Student Senate Rules and Regulations. "All official business of Student Senate, its committees, and boards shall be restricted to the officially held public meetings of said groups." "Law or no law I would hope that wouldn't be something Student Senate would do," Wittlinger, Olathe sophomore, said. Heilman said a committee member moved to go into a closed forum after the Student Rights' Committee completed the items on the regular meeting agenda. He said that members used the closed forum the state. to discuss the tuition sponsorships that are received by the student body president, vice-president, treasurer, legislative director and the Graduate Professional Association's executive director, communications coordinator and finance director. Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and Student Senate Executive Committee chair, said that most voting members of the Student Rights' Committee who stayed in the room during the closed forum did not know that they were violating rules. Emily Williams, Overland Park senior and secretary of the Student Rights Committee, said that minutes were not recorded during the closed session of the meeting. "The vast majority of people in that room were not ill-intentioned," McGonigle said. "When the vote happened to go into a closed committee, people did not know what was going on." Wittlinger said that Heilman would not be reprimanded further than the letter he was sent last week. Wittlinger also said that he was disappointed that other veteran members of the Student Rights' Committee did not follow the rules. "There are members of that committee who preach about accountability more than anyone else," Wittlinger said. "It blows me away that those same people would move into a closed session." Wittlinger said that he planned to use the meeting as an opportunity to educate Senate members about the Student Senate rules and state laws regarding closed meetings.

POLITICS Young voters apathetic With the one-year countdown to the 2008 Presidential Election beginning campaigns and debates are heating up. Youth participation, although increasing, is still not as strong as it could be. Jerry Austin, political consultant and Dole Institute fall fellow, said it was definitely a two-step process. He said first a student needed to register to vote, and second they needed to be motivated to vote. Many students on campus admitted they really weren't knowledgeable or interested in the election. Natalie Rodriguez, Belleville, Ill., sophomore said she really hadn't kept up on the issues and thought there could be stronger effort to reach out to students. "The candidates, groups like 'Rock the Vote,' I think they haven't done a good enough job of reaching us," Rodriguez said. "We kind of live in our own little bubble here in college."

More recently Novak's name has been tied to the 2003 CIA leak scandal, in which Novak wrote the column that identified Valerie Plam as a CIA operative. Novak's conversation with the Kansan ranged from his nickname, "The Prince of Darkness," the upcoming election and how he may have got confused with Harry Potter.

ODD NEWS Man beaten with his own pickles by an irate friend According to police reports, the pickle problems began when Bobby Lee Bolen of Buchanan was hanging out at his then-friend Jody Lee's home in Buchanan on Aug. 20. Brooke Heath "If this is not the silliest case I've ever seen in this courtroom, it certainly is in the Top 10," Berrien Trial Court Judge Scott Schofield said. "The fact that it's silly doesn't mean that it's not serious." Lee told Bolen he couldn't afford to feed everyone and not to eat his pickles. Bolen then began yelling and swearing and stormed out, according to the report. Later, Bolen barged back into the house and got into an argument with Lee. Lee told police Bolen slammed him down on the couch and threw two large pickles at him and said, "Here's your damn pickles." Bolen also shoved former friend J.W. Romanski III and beat Lee with a telephone when he tried to call 911, according to the report. Two counts involving Bolen's assaults were dismissed as was a charge of cutting or interfering with phone lines. Defense attorney Robert Lutz said alcohol appeared to be at the root of Bolen's problems. Bolen's sentence included 54 days in jail with credit for 54 days served and one year of probation.

Bolen went to the refrigerator and helped himself to some pickles. According to the report, James Harris, 37, of Tama, was hit in the calf Saturday, the opening day of pheasant season, said Alan Foster, a spokesman with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

"The muzzle velocity is so great that the pellets don't have a chance to spread out," he said. Harris was hunting with a group about three miles north of Grinnell. The group shot a bird, and when Harris went to get it, he put his gun on the ground and crossed a fence. As he crossed the fence, his hunting dog stepped on the gun, Foster said. No one else was hurt, and the dog was not injured. The gun was about 3 feet away from his leg. Foster said no citations had been issued. WEXFORD, Pa. — It's the deal of a lifetime. Couple offers homebuyers a refund upon death Bob and Ricki Husick of Pittsburgh are offering anyone who buys their home a full refund when they die. The Husicks have been trying to sell their suburban home for almost a year, but have failed to do so in the current shaky market. Some area homeowners have lowered prices, offered trips and tried a variety of other gimmicks, but the Husicks came up with their own unique incentive The couple have no heirs and built the house in 1993. They want $399,900 for the four-bedroom, 3 1/2-bath home, which is located about 20 miles north of Pittsburgh. Wait, there's more: if the buyer agrees to care for the couple in old age, he could also inherit their retirement home in Arizona. Under the Husicks' offer, the buyer would get the sale price back when they die. "Why not go for the works? So if we're worth $2.5 million, you get it all," said Husick, 55.

Aida Garcia-Franks, Lenexa graduate student and program assistant for the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said the summit was to encourage Latino students to go to college. She said the summit would include several workshops that teach high school students what they need to do in the last two years of high school to prepare for higher education. "We came up with it because with the growing population in Kansas, we thought it was important to get the message of college out there," Garcia-Franks said. The Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, the Latino Faculty and Staff Council, and the Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity and Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority collaborated to organize the summit. High school students from Topeka, Kansas City, Kan., Wichita, Emporia and western Kansas were invited. NASA Representatives from the Office of Admissions and Scholarships will be available to help potential students with questions about the financial aspects of going to college. Garcia-Franks said the University was not able to offer scholarships, but could direct students to outside scholarship opportunities. Stephanie Gomez, Newton senior and president of HALO, said HALO representatives would be available to answer questions about college life from a student's perspective. Gomez said she had some friends who attended the summit last year and said they learned a lot about their higher education options. Ripped solar wing could delay next shuttle flight Carlos Ojeda Jr., an educational and motivational speaker, will be the keynote speaker for the event. Ojeda was a first-generation college student. He travels to schools across the nation to share his experience and motivate people to go to college. CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A giant solar wing ripped as it was being unfurled by astronauts aboard the international space station on Tuesday, creating another problem for NASA at the orbiting outpost. Next spring, representatives from the University will travel to the high school students' communities and hold informational sessions for parents in Spanish. The next shuttle flight could be delayed if this latest problem isn't resolved quickly, said NASA's space station program manager, Mike Suffredini. Atlantis is supposed to lift in early December with a European laboratory. Edited by Luke Morris "We don't clearly know what we're dealing with yet, and as soon as we know what we're dealing with, then we can talk about what our next steps are," Suffredini said. The astronauts immediately halted the wing extension. By then, the solar panel was already extended 90 feet of its 115 feet. Space station commander Peggy Whitson said the sun angle prevented her and the others from seeing the $2 \frac{1}{2}$-foot tear sooner. The torn solar wing can still provide power. NASA's bigger concern is the structural problem posed by "It's just the way it goes," Mission Control said consolingly. POLITICS Youth votes make impact on world BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com Ron Paul? Never heard of the guy. Mitt Romney? Is he running for President? With one year until the 2008 Presidential election, KU students' answers to election questions reflect the national trend—college students just aren't as informed or as active as they could be. Kathleen Barr, director of research and education for Rock the Vote, said getting students to vote was important mainly because of the sheer size of the youth vote. She said there had been a reemergence of youth participation, but there was a long way to go for both candidates and young voters. "Students could definitely help make or break the election," Barr said. Renee Robinson, Lawrence senior, said she wasn't interested in the election or the issues. She said she would probably vote for Barack Obama, and was a member of the "Barack Chalk Jayhawks" Facebook.com group. Keaton Hilst, Hutchinson junior, also said that election coverage wasn't a priority for him, and believed it just wasn't targeted enough to college students. However, Angela McNulty, Olathe senior, said she had watched a few debates, and tried to keep up with the election as much as possible. She said she was waiting to see Obama's and Clinton's stances on gay marriage before she made her decision. "I know what I want." McNulty said. "But I definitely hang out with some people that are not as informed Jerry Austin, president of the political and public relations firm Gerald J. Austin and Associates, Inc., and a Fall 2007 Dole Institute fellow, said the college students was very important in presidential elections. He said every year one million North American 17-year-olds turned 18, and the four years between each presidential election produced a potential four million new voters for candidates. Austin said the unfortunate reality was the number of youth registered to vote wasn't anywhere near the number of those eligible to vote. as they should be." "The problem is, even though young people have shown an interest in the 2004 and 2006 elections, they still do not vote based upon what their numbers suggest," Austin said. "They could be a force, but if you don't register and you don't vote, you're not a force." Sara Kisza, Leavenworth sophomore, said she wasn't registered to vote, and Natalie Rodriguez, Belleville, ill., said that because she was out-of-state it was difficult to remember to get an absentee ballot sent to Kansas. According to the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning, the 18- to 24-year-old vote increased in the 2004 presidential election by 11 percent from 2000. Until 2004, the youth voter turnout had decreased by 16 percent between 1972 and 2000. The youth vote still lags behind the older adult vote with 47 percent of 18 to 24-year-old citizens voting, and 66 percent of 25 and older voting. register to vote Where: Rock the Vote website www.rockthevote.com **What to do:** Click on the link "Register to Vote".

Austin said motivation and assisting students in the registration process were the main factors in youth involvement. He said it was important for candidates and organizations to go where young people hang out, and encourage them to vote. "I use the phrase, 'when you go duck hunting, you have to go where the ducks are.'" Austin said. Good for: Kansas students Barr said the Rock the Vote site, www.rockthevote.com, had an easy "Register to Vote" link available for students from every state. Politicians have also been using the Internet to appeal to college voters. Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube have been popular sites to show support for candidates. Facebook features election applications, and allows students to add candidates as friends and join support groups. U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-III) has been the most successful on the site with 157,896 friends, and 382,202 in the group "One Million Strong for Barack." Austin said the Internet had changed everything by providing more information and visual aspects that attracted young voters. He said this election would reveal the power of the social network sites had on youth involvement. Barr said appealing to students through pop culture, and technology was a good first step because that was where to find students. She said the use of social networking sites, like Facebook and MySpace could only be useful if the politicians actually reached out and got the 20,000 "friends" involved. Austin said there was a lot of interest in the upcoming election, especially with the possibility of the first black or female president. He said he hoped the students realized they had a worldwide as well as national impact. "The American election is looked by the world more than any other election," Austin said. "Yet we still have a problem getting people to participate." a partially deployed panel. The damage was especially agonizing for the 10 space travelers because two of shuttle Discovery's crew had just wrapped up a seven-hour spacewalk and were still reveling in the smooth extension of the first of two retracted solar wings on a newly installed beam. During the spacewalk — the third of their mission — Scott Parazynski and Douglas Wheelock installed a massive beam holding a pair of solar wings, which were folded up like an accordion. It took three days to move the beam from one location on the space station to another 145 feet away and was considered one of the hardest construction jobs ever attempted in orbit. Parazynski also dealt with the other problem on the space station and inspected one of two rotary joints that keep the solar panels turned toward the sun. Steel shavings were found during a spacewalk over the weekend in the joint on the right side of the station. Parazynski was asked to look at the left joint for comparison. Everything inside that joint looked pristine it will remained in a parked position.

Scott Cheever has admitted fatally shooting Greenwood County Sheriff Matt Samuels nearly three years ago at a house in Hilltop, but he testified that he was high on methamphetamine at the time. And during closing arguments Tuesday, his public defender, Tim Frieden, said Cheever could not have formed the forethought to commit premeditated murder because he was under the influence of meth. "It was an instantaneous action," Frieden said, "in the moment, without premeditation." Prosecutors countered that Cheever was capable of making decisions the morning of the January 2005 shooting. Assistant Kansas Attorney General Barry Disney said deciding to kill someone can be considered a premeditated thought even if it happens shortly before the killing. The law doesn't place a time limit on premediation, Disney said. for allegedly stealing firearms from his stepfather and not reporting to his parole officer. Cheever is charged with capital murder, four counts of attempted capital murder against two deput ties and two state troopers, manufacturing meth and criminal possession of a firearm. of Samuels, and attempted first-degree murder or attempted second-degree murder involving the other officers. Jurors can consider convicting him of first-degree murder or second-degree murder in the shooting "A minute or two is a lifetime," he said. "It was Sheriff Samuels' lifetime." If jurors convict Cheever of capital murder, they would then decide whether to sentence him to "He made a decision to shoot when he did.And when he stopped shooting, he made a decision to stop shooting." Samuels was killed as he tried to vertse arrest warrants on Chevere The level of meth that Chevera said he took would have changed his brain structure, especially the areas that command decision making, reasoning and consequences of actions, Evans said.

Testimony ended Monday with pharmacology and psychiatry experts giving disparate opinions on how high on meth Cheever was the day of TIM FRIEDEN Defense attorney "There was no judgment at all." Evans said of Cheever's condition the day of the killing. Lee Evans, dean of the School of Pharmacy at Auburn University in Alabama, testified for the defense that Cheever's meth use kept him from making sound decisions But Michael Welner, a New York University psychi- chary professor, testified that Chever the shooting. knew what he was doing when he fired the gun. "He made a decision to shoot when he did," said Welner, a rebuttal witness for the state. "And when he stopped shooting, he made a decision to stop shooting." Cheever testified that he shot up meth about 30 minutes before the sheriff arrived. He said he had been cooking meth all night and was upstairs with a gun cocked and loaded. Cheever told jurors that he fired twice, hitting Samuels in the torso both times, and continued shooting at the other officers as they tried to help the stricken sheriff. After firing, Cheever said he retreated to a bedroom and contemplated suicide as he held off law enforcement for several hours. State troopers then sprayed the house with tear gas and rushed inside after him. October 31st @ 9 one HELLUVA costume contest!

"We are entering difficult territory, but one that is now clearly defined." feared, given harsh comments by President iridex Deby about them IDRISS DEBY President of Chad UNICEF's representative in Chad, Mariam Coulibal Ndiaye, said authorities were interviewing the children to learn more about their origins and whether they are truly orphans. Authorities in Chad detained 17 people — nine of them French — after the French charity tried to put the children on a plane last week. L'Arche de Zoe, or Zoe's Arc, said it had arranged French host families for the children to save them from possible death in Darfur. More than four years of conflict there has left more than 200,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced — many to eastern Chad. Gilbert Collard, a lawyer for the group, said the charges against his clients were less severe than he had demned the charity's plans. French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Deby this weekend to discuss the case, which unfolded as the EU prepares a peacekeeping force in Chad and Central African Republic to help refugees along their borders with Darfur. France has led the push for the peacekeepers, and the uproar over the charity's actions risked complicating efforts to ensure a smooth start for the force, which Chad initially had resist- But Chad has assured France that a debacle over a charity's effort to spirit children out of the country will not affect plans to deploy European Union peacekeepers there to protect "It's unimaginable that doubts are being cast on these people of good faith who volunteered to save children from Darfur." minister for human rights, Rama Yade, told Europe-1 radio, "And Mr. Deby assured us of that." In France, police searched the charity's offices as well as the apartment of its founder as part of an inquiry into whether the group broke adoption laws, police officials said. The group initially promised some families that they could adopt — not merely host — children from — not merely host — children from Darfur, French officials have said. CHRISTOPHE LETIEN Zoe's Ark Charity Spokesman refugees from neighboring Darfur, a French official said Monday. "Because this affair has nothing to do with the deployment of the multidimensional force, there are no possible consequences," France's "The team is made up of firemen, doctors and journalists," he said at a news conference. "It's unimaginable that doubts are being cast on these people of good faith, who volunteered to save children from Darfur." Two of the detained journalists were covering the operation and a third was reportedly present for personal reasons, according to the media watchdog group Reporters Without Borders. Sarkozy insisted during his conversation with Deby that the journalists' status must be respected, the Foreign Ministry said. French diplomats said they had warned Zoe's Ark for months not to go through with its plans. Christophe Letien, spokesman for the charity, insisted its intentions were merely humanitarian. Seven Spanish citizens who work for a Barcelona-based charter airline also were detained in the case, as was a pilot from Belgium, the two countries said. The Chad justice minister made no mention of the Belgian citizen, whose legal status in the country wasn't known.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2007 NEWS ARMED FORCES 5A Navy sailors help Koreans get ship back from pirates Boat was hijacked off Somalian coast BY EDWARD HARRIS ASSOCIATED PRESS NAIROBI, Kenya — A U.S. Navy destrover helped sailors who retook control of their vessel Tuesday in a deadly battle with pirates after the North Korean-flagged ship was hijacked off Somalia, the American military said. A helicopter flew from the USS James E. Williams to investigate a phoned-in tip of a hijacked vessel, and demanded by bridge-to-bridge radio that the pirates give up their weapons, the military said in a statement. The crew of the Dai Hong Dan then overwhelmed the hijackers, leaving two pirates dead, according to preliminary reports. and five captured, the military said. and five captured, the military said. Three seriously injured crew members were brought aboard the Williams, the statement said. The pirates remained on the Dai Hong Dan, which the crew was returning to the port of Mogadishu. A U.S. Navy spokeswoman said piracy was a scourge in Somalia's waters, and American ships were available to intercede. "When we get a distress call, we help," said Cmdr. Lydia Robertson of the U.S. Fifth Fleet told The Associated Press by telephone from Manama, Bahrain. Geoff Morrell, a spokesman for the U.S. Defense Department, said piracy off the Horn of Africa is a concern because "you're talking about an area that has seen greater terrorist involvement." "The time of fighting has ended, and we are in the season of reconciliation." It's logical. Morrell said, that the military would want to know "what is being transported on the high seas and who is out there operating and if they have nothing but the best intentions in mind." Andrew Mwangura, program coordinator of the Seafarers Assistance Program, said an estimated 22 crew members were aboard the North Korea-flagged vessel that gunmen seized late Monday in Somali waters. His group independently monitors piracy in the region. Workers at the Mogadishu port said the vessel delivered a load of sugar from India. The U.S. Navy said ships in a coalition monitoring the waters near Somalia were also following a hijacked Japanese vessel in those waters, and that four other boats are still controlled by pirates near Somalia. SALIM ALIYOW IBROW Somalian prime minister An international watchdog reported this month that pirate attacks worldwide jumped 14 percent in the first nine months of 2007, with the biggest increases in the poorly policed waters of Somalia and Nigeria. Piracy off Somalia increased this year after Ethiopian forces backing Somalia has had 16 years of violence and anarchy, and is now led by a government battling to establish authority even in the capital. Its coasts are virtually unpoliced. Reported attacks in Somali waters rose to 26, up from eight a year earlier, the London-based International Maritime Bureau said through its piracy reporting center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A U.S. Navy spokeswoman said piracy was a scourge in Somalia's waters, and American ships were available to intercede. Somali government troops ousted an Islamic militia in December, said Mwangura. During the six months that the Council of Islamic Courts ruled most of southern Somalia, where Somali pirates are based, piracy abated, Mwangura said. At one point, the Islamic group said it was sending scores of fighters to crack down on pirates there. Islamic fighters even stormed a hijacked, UAE-registered ship and recaptured it after a gunbattle in which pirates — but no crew members — were reportedly wounded. The Somali capital has become especially unsafe in recent days, with fighting over the weekend between an Islamic militia and government forces backed by Ethiopian troops. The U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday around 36,000 people have been driven from their homes in what locals said was the worst fighting in months, adding to the tens of thousands who fled the capital earlier this year. Somalia's president named Salim Aliyow ibrow, a former deputy prime minister, as caretaker prime minister, a day after the outgoing premier lost a power struggle in the government and resigned. By law, President Abdullahi Yusuf The new prime minister struck a conciliatory tone Tuesday, calling for an end to the country's crisis. must name a permanent prime minister within 30 days of the resignation. But hundreds more families around the city's main market were preparing to flee the capital on Tuesday, loading trucks, buses' and donkey carts with their belongings, said Jennifer Pagonis, spokeswoman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. "The time of fighting has ended, and we are in the season of reconciliation," he told The Associated Press. "They're really rather confused about where to go: whether to stay, whether to leave the city entirely or whether to relocate to another part of the city," she told reporters in Geneva, Switzerland. Light Up Your Night Join us for LIVE music Wednesday Nights Since 1936 103 Massachusetts 》 WILDFIRE ASSOCIATED PRESS A rescued surfboard and other items saved by firefighters are placed outside a wildfire-burned home in the Rancho Santa Fe community of San Diego County, Calif. Thursday, Rancho Santa Fe is an unincorporated census-designated place in San Diego County, and the highest income community in the United States with at least 2,500 households. Landscaping rules save California homes ELLIOT SPAGAT ASSOCIATED PRESS RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif. — Dr. Jorge Llorente became irritated recently when the fire department kept rejecting his plans to landscape his hacienda-style home with jacarandas and avocado trees. But he is grateful now. Those restrictions may well have saved his multimillion-dollar home when a wildfire passed through last week. "Now that we have a chance to see how it works we are tickled pink," the retired surgeon said. "I'm a convert. I'm a true believer." Rancho Santa Fe has lots of converts after braving last week's Southern California's wildfires, the first major test of the stringent construction and landscaping standards adopted by the community in 1997. The San Diego suburb lost 53 houses, but none of them were in the five subdivisions that embraced restrictions designed to be so tough that people can stay in their homes if they cannot evacuate. As Southern California begins to rebuild from the blazes that killed at least seven people and destroyed more than 2,000 homes, homeowners and government officials are looking at places as far away as Australia and as nearby as Stevenson Ranch in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles, that have adopted super-strict standards that require such precautions as non-flammable roofs, indoor sprinklers and regular watering of shrubs. Rancho Santa Fe practices a strategy known as "shelter-in-place," designed to insulate homes from flames if people cannot evacuate. Emergency Services Consulting Inc. in Elk Grove, Calif. "It's a success event." Cliff Hunter, Rancho Santa Fe's fire marshal, believes the standards saved homes. "I just go by the results," he said as he drove through the wide streets of The Crosby subdivision. The fire department in Rancho Santa Fe, whose past residents include Bing Crosby and Howard Hughes, scrutinizes plans for every tree and bush and sends inspectors with measuring tapes JORGE LLORENTE Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. resident "Now that we have a chance to see how it works we are tickled pink. I'm a convert. I'm a true believer." to make sure its orders are obeyed. where hillside flames stopped just short of homes. Fire experts caution that no home is fireproof; they prefer the term "ignition-resistant." Advocates say such precautions give firefighters time Trees and bushes must be a certain distance from the house and cannot exceed a certain height. Roofs must be nonflammable; shrubs near the house must always be watered. Indoor sprinklers are a must. "Rancho Santa Fe has done some really, really pivotal work," said Ron Coleman, former California state fire marshal and vice president of Columns must be masonry, stucco or precast concrete; windows must be dual-paned or tempered glass; wood fences cannot touch the home. to save more vulnerable homes in fast-moving fires. But some critics say the shelter-in-place strategy may kill homeowners into a false sense of security, leading them to stay put when they should flee. And some say it only encourages construction in tinderbox areas in California and elsewhere across the West. Nearly 1 million homes in 11 Western states border undeveloped wildlands, and builders are increasingly breaking ground on the edge of wooded areas, according to a study last month by Headwaters Economics, a consulting firm in Bozeman, Mont. Despite the destruction in Southern California — and widespread acknowledgment that fire will strike again — there is little doubt homeowners will be allowed to rebuild on the same lots. San Diego County has already issued its first building permit for a home destrored in last week's fires. But government officials and fire experts say the blazes may lead to stricter standards. San Diego County, which was hardest hit, will revisit building codes and may add restrictions, said Supervisor Dianne Jacob. In March, the county Department of Planning and Land Use expanded the shelter-in-place concept as an option for new subdivisions in areas where the topography prevents the building of a second escape road. It is difficult to say how much a shelter-in-place design adds to the cost of a home. Roofing and sprinkler systems can easily run tens of thousands of dollars, said Dan Bailey of the International Code Council, which advises governments on building restrictions. Other measures, such as trimming trees, cost little. Rancho Sante Fe is a community of about 10,000 people with giant homes on large lots, where golfing and horseback riding are popular pastimes. The median household income in the 92067 ZIP code tops $200,000. TEACHFORAMERICA www.teachforamerica.org 1 in 10 low-income students will graduate from college. CHANGE THIS.

On this day, or usually the weekend before, many join in by dressing up or giving candy, but each year I can't help but think that something in it was missed, its essence in some way watered down. Most obvious is the nature of costumes one encounters on a supposedly spooky time of the year. The majority I see and hear about are either cute, funny or slutty. Admittedly, I do enjoy any one of these genres executed well, but too many costumes are chosen based on whether others will "get it" or not. Making a costume almost guarantees a more interesting one. While it can be more stressful at times, it can also be therapeutic. Last year I made a costume "as such"—involving animal skins, blood, dirt and a pristine pair of white women's Keds. I couldn't tell anyone what it was exactly—it was just as much a mystery to myself as to everyone else. It was some sort of spawn birthed from the attitudes of the times leading up to the day(s). It just felt right, and for me, looked right too. Raw, original, scary costumes are the clusters in the cereal. Just as encountering a truly merry stranger during Christmas or noticing "Dwayla" has cherry cobbler stains down her shirt and a ciggy in each hand on the Fourth, a good costume during Halloween is an instance of lush festivity that enriches the season. However, not everything has to be scary, but it is shied away from by the vast majority of people. Halloween isn't just a holiday (it isn't even that for some people), but a chance. It is a chance to look however or like whoever one wants, and really, everything is permissible. In years past, this day marked the culmination of a month or more of scary festivities for my friends and me. Though it was not the same this year, today, shrouded in an obscure silliness, couldn't have come a moment too soon. Today is about remembering the joy of being scared, and that we're all a little creepy, sometimes. Muselmann is a Tulsa, Okla. junior in journalism. DRAWING BOARD HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Go find some candy. ANARCHY IN THE U.K. MAX RINKE NOT SO ANGELIC With today's sadistic, exploitative films, AMC's Monsterfest evokes nostalgia for the classics Recent horror films lack real scares M KELSEY HAYES I'm going to study for my exam in Religion 106. T tonight, I'm going to do something truly horri- fying. Despite having dressed up (as a female maid to boot) the past two years and partied, I'm honestly not feeling the Halloween vibes. I went as 'the opinion editor' to a friend's Halloween party last weekend, and the only candy-related item I've received was a big tin of assorted popcorn from my parents (which my colleagues proceeded to eat; thanks guys). There is, however, one Halloween tradition I plan on keeping, even as I look over my notes on Buddhism. Trashy, gory, violent horror films. The American Movie Classics channel (AMC) annually has its Monsterfest, a marathon of horror films ranging from classics ("The Exorcist") to camp ("Friday the 13th Part XXXIV: Jason Sees a Psychiatrist for Mommy Issues"). Today, AMC's horror franchise of choice is appropriately, the "Halloween" films. Whoever decided to show the original "Halloween" at 10 a.m. and the subsequent sequels during prime time should probably lose their job. The original is scary at any time of day, but preferably not after an 8 a.m. lecture. It should say something about my disregard of films like "Hostel" that, despite seeing it, I still backpacked across Europe and stayed in hostels (okay, so not in Slovakia). To me, films in that vein aren't scary, they're sadistic. "Saw" had an incredibly clever premise, but now, on film number four, the shick is It's a little disheartening that within a year or two, today's so-called horror films will more than likely see action on AMC's Monsterfest. Today it's "Rosemary's Baby" and tomorrow it's "Hostel." old. Exactly how many ways is it possible to disembowel someone? Michael Myers made due with a kitchen knife; he didn't need Rube Goldberg devices. Leigh Whannell, who wrote and starred in the original "Saw," said in an interview on Bravo that he researched the Spanish Inquisition when coming up with various torture devices to include in the films. I have a problem with historical torture being used as a basis for entertainment, but precedent is against me (gladiatorial games were popular, right?). I guess I just have to live with the fact that people like seeing horrible things happen to other people. I don't mind violence, but it has to have a purpose, a point. There's no rule saying that a horror film can't be high in quality. "The Silence of the Lambs" won five Oscars, and is one of my favorite horror films. Today's filmmakers are so bankrupt of original ideas that they're dredging up old classics to remake. Fortunately for Rob Zombie, his "Halloween" remake was well received, but I have pretty low hopes for the announced "Friday the 13th" remake. Especially because the production company keeps talking about Jason. If they'd bothered to watch "Scream," they'd know that Jason wasn't the killer in the original film, but rather Mrs. Voorhees, his mother. Drew Barrymore forgot this and it got her boyfriend killed. Horror films bring in money (we'll probably have a "Saw VI" in two years) and have a solid demographic—us: AMC is probably bringing in gangbusters advertising dollars with their horror marathon. And I'll continue to watch it in the hopes of actually finding something to scare me more than the thought of having an exam the next day. The best horror films now come from places like Japan ("Ju-On," on which "The Grudge" films are based) and even the United Kingdom ("The Descent" is one of the few honest-to-God scary films I've seen recently). American auteurs seem more involved in the torture-porn genre ("Hostel" and "Saw") or doing bad remakes. Hayes is a Lenexa junior in journalism, political science and international studies.

Psoriasis is more than a skin-deep concern Sufferers of the condition deal with awkward looks and self-consciousness in day-to-day life PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON Me: "Let's go swimming, you want to?" My roommate: "Where?" Me: "At Robinson." My roommate: "..." Me: "Come mon now, you used to swim ALL the time. You know it would make you feel better. I know I can't completely understand how it affects you, but I'm trying to. I don't want to be to push, though." My roommate: "It's just, everybody stares. I know you're just trying to help me, but I can't help but be embarrassed and pissed off. A lot of people have it, but not everyone knows about it, though. So they're not as understanding as you, but you're my roommate so obviously I'm more comfortable around you." Me: "What's it called again?" My roommate: "Psoriasis." I had heard of psoriasis, but she was right, I wasn't too informed on it, and did not realize its prevalence amongst the population. So I decided to Google it, because I Google everything! And the results were the following "Did You Know?" facts of the day: According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, 2-3 percent of the world's population has psoriasis, and between 5.8 and 7.5 million Americans have the common disease. Along with the prevalence of the disease, I believe we all should know at least the basic causes, effects and appearances of psoriasis. Everybody has skin cells that shed regularly, and a normal cell 'sheds' or falls of your skin in about 30 days. A person with psoriasis, however, has skin cells that shed and then accumulate at the surface every three to four days, instead of falling off. If this accumulation creates lesions that appear as red or white patches on various locations on the body, the person is diagnosed as having plaque psoriasis, one of the most common of the five different forms. These patches are what make my roommate apprehensive about going out in public in a bathing suit or even capris. I'll admit, that if I see something that is "different," I'll either look twice, or more carefully. I'm not saying that I stare or perceive that person with a lower standard than before by any means. I'm just a curious, open-minded girl. And as humans, I'm sure we can all agree and admit as well, that at least one point in our life we have done the same. We have looked a little longer at a unique trait than is appropriately allowed. Unfortunately, that extra long glance is why many people who have psoriasis, like my roommate, experience the emotional distress that it causes as well. Psoriasis is thought to be genetic, with a person diagnosed having some relative with the disease as well. The severity of the disease depends on the percentage of body surface that is covered by the patches, as well as the impact it has on a person's life. Judging from my roommate's own experiences and testimony, amount of body surface doesn't even matter. The effect that it has on people, women mostly, is heartbreaking. No one can prevent or cure psoriasis, and I know my roommate feels people will judge and stare regardless of that fact. The treatments one can endure to help with the disease are financially demanding, with billions of dollars spent annually. I learned that World Psoriasis Day is Oct. 29. Hopefully until next year if you see anyone with a condition or anything you may deem as "different," you'll consider the many causes that may be behind it, because it could be psoriasis or some other unfortunate condition.

Smith --- 1 8A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY,OCTOBER 31.2007 >> BEACH HOUSE FIRE I ASSOCIATED PRESS People gather outside Oakview Elementary school in Simpsonville, S.C., on Monday for a memorial service for the seven college students who died Sunday in a beach house fire at Ocean Isle Beach, N.C. Student makes lucky leap to escape BY PETE IACOBELLI ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, S.C. — A student who survived a beach house inferno by leaping from a third-story window said Tuesday he wasn't sure what woke him up, but he had to make the decision to jump quickly because smoke was filling the room. Tripp Wylie, a student at the University of South Carolina, said he heard crackling and popping after he awoke Sunday, then opened the bedroom door, letting smoke in. He went to the window and saw flames coming from the front of the house. As it became harder to breathe, he stuck his head outside. "You knew you had to jump at some point; that was the only option," he told ABC's "Good Morning America." Wylie said he made "a very lucky jump" into a canal that runs next to the house, clearing the concrete bank of the waterway to reach safety. His friends weren't as lucky. Seven of them died in the fire at the Ocean Isle Beach, N.C., beach house, and six others were injured escaping it. The victims included an aspiring attorney, a high school homecoming queen, fraternity men and sorority women. They were ardent football fans, out for a good time at the beach. Six of those killed attended the University of South Carolina. A seventh went to Clemson University. Officials have said many were members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and Delta Delta Delta sorority — and some had gone to high school together in Greenville. "There are no words to describe what we've been going through," Chip Auman — whose family owns the Ocean Isle Beach, N.C., vacation house — said while visiting his hospitalized daughter. "We are living a nightmare." Debbie Smith, mayor of the resort community, said Monday investigators believe the fire was likely accidental and started in the rear of the house, either on or near a deck facing a canal. That side of the home appeared to be the most heavily damaged. Most of the victims were found in the home's five bedrooms. Randy Thompson, director of emergency services in Brunswick County, N.C., said Tuesday that local officials hope to receive an initial report from North Carolina state investigators on Friday. Ocean Isle Beach officials have said they don't expect any word on a possible cause until after a review of that and other reports. "It's an awful loss for someone that had a pretty good future in front of her," Terry Walden said of his daughter, Allison, from his Ohio home. "It sounded like they were having a good time. Unfortunately, the fire didn't show any mercy." Investigators quizzed dozens of college students who filled several homes near the site of the disaster. Brebcca Wood, the president of the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity at the University of North Carolina, said police wanted to know if the college students used a grill or small outdoor fireplace. She told investigators all the grilling was done far from the house. Police in the beachfront community are working with the State Bureau of Investigation and federal officials. Autopsies will take place at the state medical examiner's office in Chapel Hill. "It may be a few days," spokeswoman Sharon Artis said. "We have not identified any of them yet." Condolences have been flooding into the Columbia school of 27,000 students, and officials urged them to support each other. "Please reach out to one another, don't let others suffer in silence," school president Andrew Sorensen told a nighttime gathering of about 1,000 students. About 90 miles from Columbia in Simpsonville, more than 100 people gathered at an elementary school to pray for the victims. University officials said names of those who died may not be released until Wednesday, but some relatives and friends of the victims talked Monday about their losses. Anna Lee Rhea said her older brother, William, was among the dead — a devastating blow to their brother Andrew, who made it out of the house alive." Everybody loved him. Everybody really misses him," she said in a brief telephone interview from the family's home in Florence. "You couldn't help but love him." Anna Lee Rhea said her brother was a huge fan of South Carolina's Gamecocks. The brother of another victim, Justin Anderson, said the same thing about him. Amanda Palacio, who went to high school with South Carolina freshman Lauren Mahon in Simpsonville, described her best friend as someone who talked fast and was always on the go. "She was a great girl. She still is," Palacio said. Mahon and Palacio were born three days apart and Palacio said they looked forward to celebrating their 19th birthday party together in the spring.

HURST ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — The Iraqi government approved a draft law for Tuesday to lift immunity for foreign security companies including Blackwater USA, a bid to overturn a decree imposed more than three years ago by the U.S. official who ran the country after the American-led invasion. The legislation could have a chilling effect on security companies operating in Iraq, though the vast sums they and their guards are paid are likely to weigh more heavily than the possibility of legal jeopardy. The draft law, expected to be The draft passed overwhelmingly by parliament, is also certain to deepen tensions between the Bush administration and the Iraqi government. P r i m e Minister Nouri al-Maliki has promised to push through the legislation amid public outrage over Blackwater's seemingly unprovoked killing of 17 Iraqis last month as well as a series of other Iraqi civilian deaths allegedly at the hands of foreign contractors. The offer for limited immunity has delayed the government's criminal inquiry of the shootings and threatens to derail prosecution as investigators seek other evidence from the crime scene. A Pentagon official said Tuesday that Defense and State department officials had reached a "general understanding" that the American military command in Baghdad should have more oversight of the U.S. government's private security contractors in Iraq. Because the Iraqi draft law would not be retroactive, any punishment for those shootings would be left to the United States, said Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh. It is unclear what U.S. criminal laws might cover acts in a war zone; civilian contractors cannot be tried in military courts. "We need to be more clear" on rules for the use of force and coordination of the movement of the contractors, whether they work for the State Department or the Defense Department, Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said. The U.S. and Iraq were already at loggerheads over Blackwater, which guards American diplomats in Iraq. The problem was compounded by reports that the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security granted limited immunity to the Blackwater guards involved in the Sept. 16 shooting in west Baghdad's Nisoor Square. On Capitol Hill, Democrats criticized the Bush administration for giving immunity to the bodyguards, calling the move a failure to hold the security contractors responsible for the shooting deaths. Sen. Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat running for president, demanded to know whether Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was aware of the immunity offers and agreed with it. In a letter to Rice Tuesday, Obama asked whether the FBI and Justice Department were consulted before limited immunity Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, who sits on two Senate panels that oversee the State Department and the Justice Department, called the deal an example of "the amnesty administration." was offered. The White House had little to say about the matter Tuesday. President Bush ignored a question on the arrangement shouted after his meeting with the president of Uganda. And his spokeswoman dodged most questions about it at her daily briefing for reporters, referring them to the State Department. "It is under review," White House press secretary Dana Perino said. "Anyone who has engaged in criminal behavior will be prosecuted." The State Department, whose investigators initially promised to shield the bodyguards' statements in the criminal inquiry, maintained that any lawbreakers "must be held to account" as a result of the inquiry that has since been taken over by the Justice Department and FBI. The offer for limited immunity has delayed the government's criminal inquiry of the shootings and threatens to derail prosecution as investigators seek other evidence from the crime scene now six weeks cold. The deal would not prevent the Blackwater guards from being prosecuted in U.S. courts. However, prosecutors would have to prove they did not use information gleaned from the bodyguards' statements — or anything related to them — when seeking criminal charges. Investigators would have to find other credible witnesses or evidence to make their case. Al-Maliki has demanded that the United States end its relationship with Blackwater within six months and that $8 million in compensation be paid for each victim. Blackwater is the largest private security firm protecting U.S. diplomats in Iraq. Pre-order SP' 08 Book Needs jayhawkbookstore .com • More Used Books!

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Tropical Storm Noel brought heavy rain to the western Caribbean Tuesday as it pushed through Cuba and edged closer to Florida. Floods and mudslides across the region have killed at least 22 people. BY RAMON ALMANZAR ASSOCIATED PRESS Forecasters projected the storm would emerge over water Wednesday near Cuba's Cayo Coco resort area and head northeast toward the Bahamas. They also said a tropical storm watch might be issued for parts of southeastern Florida Tuesday. The storm cut a destructive path across the island of Hispaniola, which is shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic. At least six people died in Haiti, including two women who were washed away by flood waters near the city of Gantier and a child found dead in a slum in the capital, U.N. officials said. Officials in the neighboring Dominican Republic, meanwhile, revised the death toll there downward to 16. The National Emergency Commission reported Monday that at least 20 had died as a result of the storm in that country, but on Tuesday, agency spokesman Luis Luna Paulino said they had miscalculated the earlier figure. Almost 12,000 people were driven from their homes and nearly 3,000 homes were destroyed, while collapsed bridges and swollen rivers have isolated 36 towns, Luna said. The dead included three people swept up by a fast-moving river in San Jose de Ocoa and three others buried in a mudslide in the port city of Haina, officials said. In Haiti, about 2,000 people were evacuated from homes from the southern coastal city of Jacmel. Hundreds also were evacuated in the capital, Port-au-Prince, where the muddy water was so deep in some streets that people swam in it. Rain was still pounding the two countries Tuesday even as the center of the storm moved away. At 5 p.m. EDT, Noel was centered about 30 miles south-southwest of Camaguey, Cuba, and it was moving toward the west at about 8 mph. Maximum sustained winds were down to 40 mph, down from 60 mph earlier. Florida was just outside the storm's expected path, but forecasters said a tropical storm watch may be issued for southeast portions of the state if Noel shifts west or its wind expands. A watch means tropical storm conditions are possible within 36 hours. Forecasters had already issued warnings for rough surf for much of South Florida, including the Miami area, as waves were already pounding the region's beaches. But they said the storm's rains would likely miss drought-stricken Georgia, ASSOCIATED PRESS Alabama and other states in the Southeast. In Cuba, the government said about 1,000 homes had suffered damage, 2,000 people had been evacuated from low-lying areas, and schools were closed for several thousand students. Bahamian authorities closed most government offices, and lines formed at grocery stores and gas stations in Nassau, the capital. Rain Carl Smith, Bahamian disaster coordinator, said the archipelago's power authority was considering temporarily shutting down the electrical system in various islands as a precautionary measure. from the outer bands of the storm forced tourists to cover themselves in trash bags or huddle for shelter in doorways of the city's colonial downtown. 》 TAZING Florida student receives 18-month probation BY TRAVIS REED ASSOCIATED PRESS GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The University of Florida student stunned by a police Taser and arrested after his fervent, videotaped outburst at an event with Sen.

Andrew Meyer's shout of "Don't Tase me, brol" was ignored by campus police but helped video clips of the 21-year-old being dragged from University police had recommended he be charged with resisting arrest with violence, which is a felony.

ANDREW MEYER University of Florida student The telecommunications major wrote apologies to the Gainesville school; its president, Bernie Machen; and the campus police department, defense attorney Robert Grisci said. Meyer recently decided to take the semester off because of the publicity, but he will return in January, Grisci said. sept. 17, Meyer loudly demanded a chance to question the former Democratic presidential candidate. Officers approached but backed off when Kerry said he would answer Meyer's questions. The student "I stepped out of line at the Kerry forum," Meyer wrote. "I violated the rules of the forum and was disruptive. I now realize that in order to be heard, one must act within the appropriate time, place and manner." State Attorney William Cervone said Meyer agreed to conduct himself "in a fashion that demonstrates his ability to behave appropriately and without violating the law" during 18 months of probation. If not, Cervone said, Meyer will be charged launched into a diatribe about why Kerry didn't challenge his 2004 loss to President Bush, why the president hasn't been impeached and whether he and Bush were members of the secret society Skull and Bones at Yale University. Event organizers cut Meyer's microphone when he said former President Clinton was impeached for oral sex. Police grabbed Meyer to escort him out, but he flailed and slipped from their grasp. He allegedly grabbed an auditorium seat at one point so he couldn't be moved. The police involved returned to work last week after the Florida Department of Law Enforcement determined it was an appropriate use of force. Officers had him on the ground, but Meyer kept struggling. He was zapped with the Taser just after his "Don't Tase me, bro" plea.

He was recorded telling the officers they didn't do anything wrong, according to the FDLE report, and sounded pleased about the arrest in a jailhouse phone call. "I'm so sorry that I lost my control in that auditorium," he wrote. "I went there to ask an important question. The question of voter disenfranchisement in America cuts to the heart of our democracy, and my failure to act calmly resulted in this important town forum ending without the discourse intended. For that, I am truly sorry." Meyer, however, denied suggestions that he intended to cause a scene. The lawyer added that Meyer remains surprised by the continued attention. Griscii said he and his client believe use of the Taser was unnecessary. "It actually leaves a burn mark, and it did, and it hurts," Grciis said, applauding the school's decision to investigate Tasers on campus with a student and faculty committee. "We have not been feeding this; it's got a life of its own" Grasti said. NATION High schools introduce coffee shops in libraries FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Even before the bell rings each morning, students at Centennial High School line up to get into the library. But they don't necessarily look for books. They wait for a morning cup of Joe at the Cougar Cafe, a coffee shop run by students. LIBERTY HALL 644 Mass. 191-192 accessibility info (785) 748-1972 THE DARJEELING LIMITED (R) 4:30 7:00 9:30 TWO DAYS IN PARIS (R) NO SHOWS students $5.50 Coffeehouses are springing up in high school libraries around the country, marking a departure from the days when librarians prohibited food, drinks and talking. Some health advocates wonder whether high school students really need more caffeine or calories. "Once they have them in there, they have their eyes and hopefully have their minds for a little bit," said Doug Johnson, a school library consultant from Minnesota. But school officials said the coffee shops promoted reading by attracting teenagers who might not otherwise hang out in a library. The school library cafes are simplified versions of the coffee shops at bookstores. Centennial High's cafe, which has been open for a few months, has an espresso machine and a milk frother, and sells coffee drinks, hot and iced teas and hot chocolate. "School food reflects the larger culture, so if there's a proliferation of coffee shops in bookstores out in the world, it's going to happen in schools," said Jian Poppendieck, a sociology professor at Hunter College in New York who is writing a book on school meals. Associated Press Marketing students work as baristas in the Centennial cafe, which brings in about $200 a day.

He has appeared as a contributor for CNN and Fox News. He was recently in the news for writing the column that outed CIA operative Valerie Plame. Novak visited the Dole Institute and held a book signing for his new book, "The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years Reporting in Washington." Novak visited with The Kansan earlier Tuesday. Q: How do you see the political climate in Washington today? A: Well, everything points to the Democrats. Everything's in their favor, and they will have to work very hard to lose the 2008 election, but I think they can do it if they try. date they like the most. Q: Who do you see as the strongest democrat? A: Well, I don't think Senator Clinton is the strongest candidate. She's a huge favorite for the nomination. I think she's the most dangerous candidate. Democrats don't necessarily nominate their strongest candidate, they nominate a candi- Q: Do you have a favorite candidate for the Republicans? Robert D. Novak, author and syndicated columnist, speaks at the Dole Institute about his recently released book of memoirs. Novak was a commentator for CNN for 25 years and is now working as a commentator for Fox News, occasionally appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press." A: Not really, I think I'm fondest of Ron Paul. He's not going to be president, he's not going to be nominated, but I enjoy him and I guess he's the only person I agree with on foreign policy. All the candidates have defects, major defects, but we've elected a lot of presidents with major defects over the years. Q: Where did you get the nick name the "Prince of Darkness"? A: I was covering the senate in 1959 for the Wall Street Journal. I was 28 years old. I was with one of my colleagues for the Washington Post, John Lindsay, a very good friend of mine and we'd have these long conversations about the senate. I thought the senate was composed of frauds and windbags, then and now. I used talk to John about that, and I had a dim view of the future of the country and western civilization, and really just detested professional politicians. So he said, "Novak, you sound like the Prince of Darkness." Q2 Did you know that would be the appropriate title for your book? Jessica Crabaugh/KANSAN The Prince at Darkness ROBERT D. NOYAK Robert D. Novak, author of "The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years Reporting in Washington", hold a book sign after his comment in Datev. Novak released these memoirs in July 2007. A: Yes, it was my idea and the publishers thought it was a great idea. It's been a much better seller than those books usually are. They tell me that at one Washington bookstore they had the book next to a Harry Potter book, so a lot of people thought that the Prince of Darkness was Harry Potter grown up. Might have helped the sales that way. Q: Do you have any advice I can take back to my classmates in the journalism school? A: Yes, first thing, this will sound really ridiculous. Read the newspaper. I dealt with entry-level people, interns and production assistants and they never read the paper. They said they could get what they needed to know from the television. No, they can't. You have got to read the papers. Secondly, I think you have to have a good grounding in political history. A lot of young journalists have no idea who anybody is. The other thing is you have to have a sense of curiosity, and really have to know, "why do they do this?" Q: How do you think history will judge George W. Bush over the next 20 years? A: Well, usually politicians after they're dead have a much better judgment from history. Gerald Ford was a really mediocre president and got a terrific review since he died. Ronald Reagan, who I thought was a great president, became an icon after he died. Harry Truman, he's now an icon. Q: Are you going to keep writing? A: I have to because I don't think I could handle it if I don't keep writing. I can't imagine what I'd do. I don't play golf. I don't fish; I don't hunt. I can't drink much anymore. I stopped gambling. What am I going to do? I don't think retirement is very good for your health. $5 off (with this coupon) all regularly priced adult costumes 23rd and Naismith 785-865-3803 PARTY AMERICA lots of costumes • more accessories • make-up wigs • "create a costume section" • great prices!

CRIME LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATED PRESS Friends of the teenager killed in a drunken driving accident want to petition the court for the maximum sentence. The defendant is former 'Prison Break' star Lane Garrison. Star's sentencing to be held today ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELLES — Friends of a teenager killed in actor Lane Garrison's drunken driving crash hope to submit a petition to send the former "Prison Break" actor to a real lockup for nearly seven years. max im u m penalty of six years and eight months, but said it would be accepted at Wednesday's sentencing if it were submitted through the district attorney's office, said James Lee, a spokesman A bailiff refused on Tuesday to accept a 3,600-signature petition asking Garrison receive the "You really can't allow a celebrity ... to basically walk away from killing somebody," Lee said. "You have to convince people that justice can be equal across the board." "Obviously, there's a sense that people want closure and they want justice and they want an appropriate punishment," Lee said. "We're talking about the loss of a life, here." Garrison's attorney said he sees the effort as an improper attempt to influence sentencing. "Obvioiusly, there's a sense that people want closure and they want justice and they want an appropriate punishment." for the teen's family. The Los Angeles County prosecutor's office had not received the petition Tuesday. Garrison, 27, is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday in Superior Court in Beverly Hills in the Dec. 2 death of his passenger Vahagn Setian, 17. "It's almost sentencing by gathering signatures" rather than by the procedures of the legal system, Harland Braun said. "They are doing it to try to influence a judge, and it's very immoral. ... The lesson that's being taught these high school kids is inappropriate." JAMES LEE Family spokesman for the victim Friends and classmates of the dead teen gathered signatures after school, at football games, in front of stores and by going door to door. Lee said. "We don't sentence people by gathering signatures like some kind of political initiative at a parking lot at a Ralph's supermarket." Garrison was driving a 2001 Land Rover when he lost control and rammed a tree. The crash killed Setian, a Beverly Hills High student, and injured 15-year-old girls in the car. Garrison had a blood-alcohol content of 0.20 percent, more than twice the legal limit for driving, and was under the influence of cocaine, according to police. The actor pleaded guilty in May to one count of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, one count of driving under the influence with a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 percent or higher and a misdemeanor of providing alcohol to a minor. Braun said he would ask that his client be sentenced to probation. The Los Angeles County prosecutor's office has asked for four years and eight months, two years less than the maximum. At his last court appearance Aug. 2, the actor apologized to the victim's family. 》 COURTS Mississippi execution stopped in last hour ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court halted an execution in Mississippi Tuesday, less than an hour before a convicted killer was scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection. The last-minute reprieve for Earl Wesley Berry is the third granted by the justices since they agreed late last month to decide a challenge to Kentucky's lethal injection procedures. Tuesday's order was the latest indication that most, if not all, executions by lethal execution will be halted at least until the justices decide the Kentucky case. Justices Samuel Alito and Antonin Scalia would have allowed the execution to go forward. Berry was convicted of kidnap ping a woman in 1987 and beating her to death before dumping her body in the woods. His execution was planned for 7 p.m. EDT. The Supreme Court has allowed only one execution to go forward since agreeing to hear the Kentucky case. Michael Richard was executed in Texas on Sept. 25, the same day the court said it would hear a lethal injection challenge from two death row inmates in Kentucky. State and lower federal courts have halted all other scheduled executions since then. Berry asked for a delay at least until the court issues its decision in the Kentucky case. He claims the mixture of deadly chemicals Mississippi uses will cause unnecessary pain, constituting cruel and unusual punishment.

Despite rising to No. 8 in the Associated Press poll and grabbing national attention, both players and coaches say that the team is no different than it was when the season began. Jayhawks remain down-to-earth Mangino keeps undefeated Hawks focused BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Kansas coach Mark Mangino keeps answering the question with the same response. The eighth-ranked Jayhawks are receiving more and more national recognition for being one of only five teams left undefeated. And everyone wants Mangino to explain how he keeps his team down-to-earth and how he shields them from the unforesseen hype. "coach's speak." But day after day and week after week, he alludes to staying focused as the primary reason for consistent performances out of his team. "I know you'll chuckle when I tell you this but Maybe, the reason really is more likely. "We don't do anything extraordinary here. We just stay in our routine. We stay focused on our work and task at hand." we prepare for a nonconference game just like wed prepare for a top-10 team," Mangino said. "We don't do anything extraordinary here. We just stay in our routine. We stay focused on our work and our task at hand." MARK MANGINO Coach The answer makes reporters wince, fans giggle and sports radio hosts poke fun. Mangino's philosophy is cliché and it's on really is more legitimate than a mindless response to a repeated question. After all, Mangino's team has beaten its eight opponents this season by an average of nearly 30 points per game. That just hasn't happened for many other teams this football season, where massive upsets have occurred as frequently as hot weather in the summer. Mangino said the Jayhawks haven't been knocked off because they feel no pressure. "We're not standing to prove anything, we're willing to earn our own way, we talked about that with our players and they are comfortable with earning their own way," Mangino said. "We're not trying to make any statements." Too late. With a list of accomplishments lengthier than the list of amendments to the United States Constitution, the Jayhawks have made a statement. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing was named a semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien Award, the defense ranks second nationally in scoring defense and the Jayhawks are 8-0 for the first time in 98 years. Mangino said that while he was proud of his players for the accolades, the team spends no time talking about it. Sophomore running back Jake Sharp said the team's success reflected back to Mangino's attitude. "Coach just tells us, 'a win is a win,' Sharp said. "A win is a win if we beat Michigan. Who we are playing and what they are ranked that week has no effect on us and I think that's the way you have to approach it." The week-to-week ideology has worked at other schools where Mangino saw it first hand. He said his time Norman, Okla, SEE GAMEPLAN ON PAGE 4B Players keep season in perspective despite media buzz about team BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com If the members of the Kansas football team aren't keeping up with current events or staying in touch with happenings around the nation, they can't be blamed. After all, they have had plenty to distract them from newspapers and television since the beginning of September - namely, winning eight games. The Kansas coaching staff and players have received inch after inch of newsprint, substantial hype from television experts and quite a bit of online buzz. But the Jayhawks have distanced themselves from the swelling media attention. "I really think we have a good group of kids that really understand what is taking Cantrell place here," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "In house — our work with the kids, our every day routine — nothing has changed and nothing will. We'll just keep the same routine as we always do and the same focus." The players are kept away from the storm of coverage while they are at practice or in the football facility, but the coaches do not interfere with them once they leave the football building. Mangino said. Most of the Kansas players have the opportunity to flip on the TV to see ESPN analyst Lou Holtz heaping praise on sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing — but choose not to indulge in the extra attention. "I actually don't have cable at home right now," junior center Ryan Cantrell said. "So I've been watching a lot of movies and stuff." As Kansas has picked up steam SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 4B COMMENTARY Tables turned in North vs. South BY ERICA JOHNSON In the Big 12 conference's history, the South has dominated the North in football. But with the many unexpected game outcomes so far this season it's no surprise that the roles have switched. This past Saturday was a good example of how far along the North has come in terms of competing with the South. The North claimed victory in three of four games against the South. Kansas defeated Texas A&M, Colorado won at Texas Tech and Kansas State stomped Baylor. Nebraska played Texas and even though the Cornhuskers led most of the game against the Longhorns, Nebraska couldn't quite pull the upset in Austin, Texas. As for those Jayhawks, not only have they won against two of the Texas schools, they have also proved they can do it on the road. Before this season the Jayhawks had only won four road games with Mark Mangino as head coach and none against Southern opponents. They have almost doubled that total so far this season, with three total conference road wins. And with only one true road game left (and at least one more on a neutral site), Kansas looks to finish strong and get a nod for a BCS bowl game. Nebraska lost for three straight weeks and a win on the road against Texas would have saved (and been the highlight of) its season. The media would maybe stop talking about whether head coach Bill Callahan is going to be fired and maybe give the team a boost going into this Saturday's contest against undefeated Kansas. Many other shocking upset victories that prove the North's worth have included Colorado over then No. 3 Oklahoma, and Kansas State's win at then No. 7 Texas.

It's taken him three years, but he finally knows exactly what to do. Practice is a little easier for Rodrick Stewart this season. "I don't know how many we have, but it can change depending on who we play," Stewart said. "It changes so much. Sometimes it's like, 'man is this ever going to stop' I think I approach it more seriously this year knowing it's the last time. I have to take everything more seriously this year." Kansas coach Bill Self is rewarding him by seriously considering giving him significant minutes while junior guard Brandon Rush is out with a knee injury, Stewart, sophomore guard Brady Morningstar and senior guard Jeremy Case each have the opportunity to show that they can step up in Rush's absence. "I'm excited for Jeremy, Brady and Rod because in Brandon's situation one of those guys needs to emerge." Self said. "And if they emerge, then I would think they would continue to be part of the rotation and part of a group that helps us throughout the season. It should be exciting for those guys. They're better players than they used to be." 1.

LAWRENCE — Kansas has jumped out to an B-0 start this season despite having only one four-star, blue chip recruit on its depth chart. Quarterback Todd Reesing, who has been mentioned as a candidate for various national honors this season, was listed as a three-star player out of high school. Defensive lineman James McClinton and running back Brandon McAnderson and Jake Sharp also were rated with three stars. Tight end Derrick Fine, offensive tackle Anthony Collins, linebacker Joe Mortensen and the Jayhawks 'best player, two-way star Aqib Talib, were only two-star recruits, while Kansas' "We got a bunch of guys that nobody really wanted," said McAnderson, who ran for 178 yards and two touchdowns in the Jayhawks 19-11 win at Texas A&M on Saturday. leading receiver, Marcus Henry, received only one star. Reeing, the Jayhawks' star sophomore quarterback who has passed for 1,985 yards and 17 touchdowns, was offered a scholarship by only one other university, Duke, coming out of high school. "It was disappointing, the whole recruiting process, because I didn't get recruited by a lot of people," said Reesing, who passed for 3,343 yards and 41 touchdowns during his senior year at Lake Travis High School in Texas. "But nothing ever hurt my feelings. I don't look back and regret anything. I'm glad I ended up where I am, and obviously it's working out better than I could have ever expected, so no regrets there."

The Bears have followed up the victory in Lawrence with victories against Colorado, TCU and Texas Tech. Baylor is 13-10 and 5-7 in the Big 12.

ESPN College Gameday analyst Lee Corso has repeatedly referred to Kansas' non-conference schedule as full of "cupcakes."

The team might have used media criticism for inspiration early in the season, but the Jayhawks now feel like they have already proven themselves worthy of respect, Reesing said. With every game the team wins, especially on the road against a quality Big 12 Conference opponent, the critics' words drift further away from the Jayhawks.

Edited by Luke Morris Papelbon donned a kilt and danced his trademark Irish jig to the roars of tens of thousands of fans Tuesday as the city celebrated Boston's second World Series title in four years with a three-mile-long rolling rally from Fenway Park to City Hall Plaza. Players and their families boarded 20 amphibious, World War II-era duck boats outside the stadium for a journey through the city. Manny Ramirez grabbed a microphone and yelled to fans along the route." We did it for you guys." "We're gonna do it again next year." You guys are the best fans in the whole world." likeness with its legs on hinges to mimic his dance moves. "The fans connect to Papelbon because he cuts loose, he's passionate," said Red Sox fan Ryan McCarthy, who was carrying "Mobile Papelbon," a giant cardboard Fans showed their love back for the team, chanting "MVP" to Mike Lowell and waving signs with wedding proposals to rookie Jacoby Ellsbury. At the first two stops at Copley Plaza and Boston Common, Papelbon danced alone, wearing jeans, a red championship T-shirt and dark sunglasses and waving a large cigar in his hand. But he saved his best dancing — and wardrobe change, putting the kilt over his jeans — for the crowd at City Hall Plaza, the end of the parade. He was joined by relievers Hideki Okajima and Mike Timlin, who earlier had tied the bullpen mascot, a stuffed parrot, onto one of the speakers on the Dropkick Murphys' flatbed. Before the parade, the band presented Papelbon with his own kilt. The two-hour parade paused three times for Papelion to dance on a flatbed truck, accompanied by the Dropkick Murphys, a Boston-based punk rock band with heavy Irish folk music influence. Associated Press PLAYERS OF THE WEEK football notebook September McGee to a season-low 11 rushing yards. Talib made six tackles and Harper made seven Hawker Kansas coach Mark Mangino announced the players of the week Tuesday. The starting cornerbacks, juniors Agib Talib and Kendrick Harper earned defensive honors. Talib and Harper played an important role in stopping Texas A&M's option running attack, holding quarterback including two tackles-for-loss. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson received the offensive award for his career-high 183 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Freshman Harper the talk about parity' Mangino said. "At the end of the year I'm going to talk to some of my head coaching friends and see what their opinion is." NOT QUITE EQUAL PETER DICKENS PARITY ABOUND? Lewis linebacker Dakota Lewis earned special teams player of the week for his work on the kickoff and kick coverage units. The scout team It seems like everyone is searching for the reason behind the sudden college in college football. That includes Mangino. The coach said he was unsure about why the college football landscape had been turned on its head by upsets in 2007. "I think I'm going to have to sit down and take a look at everything and all players of the week were fresh man wide receiver Matt Bouie on offense and sophomore linebacker Ian Handshy on defense. Though Mangino credited the defense for its performance this season — ranked fifth in total yards allowed per game — he stopped short of comparing this year's squad to the 2005 defense that was the best run-stopping unit in the Big 12 Conference. That 2005 unit, which included linebackers Nick Reid and Banks Floodman, was blessed with outstanding toughness, while this year's defense has relied on outstanding depth. Kansas has improved its pass defense from last in the nation last season to 18th-best this season. Asher Fusco MLB Dodgers manager calls it quits BY JOHN NADEL ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Grady Little resigned as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, paving the way for Joe Torre to take the job. The 57-year-old Little leaves with one year remaining on his contract plus a club option for 2009. Team owner Frank McCourt said on the season's final day that Little would return next year, but recently several news outlets reported the Dodgers were speaking with Torre about their managerial job. LA "I've got my own personal reasons," Little said. "It was a mutual resignation." Torre's agent, Maury Gostfrand, declined comment. The 67-year-old Torre managed the New York Yankees to four World Series championships and 12 playoff appearances in as many seasons before turning down a oneyear, $5 million offer for next season with an additional $3 million in incentives on Oct. 18. "We haven't hired anybody," general manager Ned Colletti said. "We're talking to some people, that's all I'm going to tell you. We'll talk about where we go from here at a later date." 4 Torre, who completed a three-year, $19.2 million contract this year, ranks eighth on baseball's career list with 2,067 victories and has won a record 76 postseason games. ASSOCIATED PRESS Grady Little announced he would not return to manage the Dodgers next year. The Dodgers entered this season as the clear-cut favorite to win the NL. West and had the league's best record in mid-July. But they dropped 11 of their last 14 games to fade out of contention, finishing at 82-80. Clubhouse unrest surfaced The Dodgers have won only one postseason game since winning the 1988 World Series. between veterans and young players during the season's final two weeks, when the Dodgers lost seven straight games to the Colorado Rockies while falling out of contention.

There was a lot of action going on back in America as well. Here are the highs and lows of the past NFL weekend. D. J. PARKS HIGHS BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints — Disregard what I said about Brees going into the game against San Francisco. For all the rebuilding San Francisco did to its team in the off-season, it hadn't had the results it would like. At least its defense was playing well, but a mediocre New Orleans team rolled into the bay and blew them out. C brees completed 31 of 39 passes for 336 yards and four touchdowns. Maybe this New Orleans team is starting to turn it around WR Greg Jennings, Green Bay Packers — Jennings has become a steady second option in the Green Bay passing offense, especially when 25 ASSOCIATED PRESS Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints seem to have found their offense. Brees completed 31 of 39 passes for 336 yards and four touchdowns on Sunday vs. the San Francisco 49ers. ASSOCIATED PRESS Tennessee's LenDale White broke out against the Raiders on Sunday. He finished with 25 carries for 133 yards. teams shut down the number one threat in Donald Driver. Jennings had six catches for 141 yards and one touchdown in the Packers' Monday night match-up with the Broncos. He caught the game-winning pass on the first possession of overtime. The Packers keep finding ways to win and proving they're a team to watch in the NFC. RB LenDale White, Tennessee Titans — Remember when the draft experts said White was a steal in the second round a couple years ago? Well, that pick is starting to pay off for the Titans. Against the Raiders on Sunday, White carried the Titans while Vince Young was struggling doing anything on offense. White had 25 carries for 133 yards on the ground. White is proving he can be a bruising, featured back in a power running game. TE Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers — Philip Rivers had a very efficient day on Sunday. He didn't throw for many yards for the Chargers offense, but when he did he found Gates on several occasions. Gates ended the day with three catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns. The Chargers have gotten on a roll after a rough start to the season. Detroit defense — Detroit has one of the worst defenses in the NFL, but on Sunday they were able to shut down the Chicago offense. Chicago looked better under the leadership of quarterback Brian Griese, but Griese threw four interceptions on Sunday, three of those in the end zone. The Bears put up only 255 yards of total offense on Sunday against a Lions team that was 30th in passing defense THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN presents halloween bash 2007 wednesday october 31 ABE & JAKE'S 8 EAST SIXTH STREET • LAWRENCE, KS LANDING $2,500 in CASH and PRIZES win an exclusive skirt to Winter Park and a custom snowboard costume contests! Scariest Most Humorous Most Creative and SEXIEST! $1 shots all night prizes provided by lifestyle LOWS and 18th in rushing defense in the NFL. Tampa Bay defense — Jacksonville capitalized on turnovers to beat Tampa Bay on Sunday. The Tampa Bay defense gave up just enough yardage to Jacksonville to shoot themselves in the foot. Tampa Bay implemented the "bend but don't break" philosophy on defense K David Akers, Philadelphia Eagles — Akers proved he is still one of the top kickers in the league on Sunday. Akers made three of four field goal attempts and both extra points as the Eagles beat the Vikings. Akers will be relied upon more heavily as the Eagles host the mighty Cowboys next weekend. Jennings has become a steady second option in the Green Bay passing offense, especially when teams shut down the number one threat in Donald Driver. QB Daunte Culpepper, Oakland Raiders — Culpepper struggled in many ways on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The Raiders lost a close game on Sunday in part because of many offensive mishaps caused by Culpepper. Culpepper completed 15 of 32 passes for only 167 yards, threw one interception, was sacked five times and fumbled three times. JaMarcus Russell's first start may come in the near future after Culpepper's performance on Sunday. RB Clinton Portis, Washington Redskins — Whatever happened to Clinton Portis? Remember when he started his career so strongly? He was supposed to be one of the best running backs to come out of the University of Miami since Edgerrin James. Then he was traded to the WR Laveranues Coles, New York Jets — Coles had a big game against Cincinnati, but fell off as the Jets played the Bills this past weekend. Coles had only one catch for 13 yards. Coles needs to play better next weekend as the Jets have a tough match-up with the Washington Redskins. Redskins for Champ Bailey. While Bailey has continued to be one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL in Denver, Portis has steadily declined in productivity since arriving in Washington. On Sunday, Portis had 11 carries for only 27 yards rushing. Portis will need to improve if the Redskins want a shot at the NFC title. TE Desmond Clark, Chicago Bears — Clark was a big part of Chicago's passing game last year, and you would think his production would go up with Brian Griese now at the helm at quarterback. However, Clark had one catch for 11 yards in the game against Detroit on Sunday. Clark can spread the field on offense. He is a versatile tight end and Chicago should use him in their passing game more often. on Sunday, but it failed. Jacksonville was lead by backup quarterback Quinn Gray, who did just enough to beat Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay should be embarrassed. They didn't allow a 100-yard rusher and held Gray to only 100 passing yards, but still lost the game. Does anybody want to win the NFC South division? K Robbie Gould, Chicago Bears — Gould was shut down by his own teammate on Sunday. Brian Griese threw three interceptions in the end zone when the Bears would've had position for field goals. Gould did miss his only field goal attempt but made the Bears' only extra point, gaining him a whopping one fantasy point for the day. It's safe to say that Gould, last year's top kicker in the NFL, had an off day on Sunday.

THE UNIVERSITY DARRY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2007 SPORTS 7B MLB Yankees name Girardi to manager position 'Donnie Baseball' Mattingly quits after not receiving job BY RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Joe Girardi is back in pinstripes, taking over as New York Yankees manager from his mentor. "I think any of us would be somewhat surprised to get the job because it's such an honor," Girardi said. "I'm extremely excited and thrilled." Girardi was hired Tuesday, agreeing to a three-year contract to replace Joe Torre in New York's dugout. "I can't be Joe Torre, because Joe Girardi takes over for Joe Torre as New York Yankees Manager. Girardi beat Don Mattingly and Tony Pena for the position. I'm made up different. I'm a different character. I'm just worried about being myself and getting the most out of the guys." The deal is worth an average salary of at least $2 million annually, a baseball official "I can't be Joe Torre, because I'm made up different. I'm a different character." said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the details. Girardi was the 2006 NL Manager of the Year with Florida, plus he has a pinstriped pedigree. The hard-nosed catcher played on three Yankees teams that won the World Series, served as their bench coach under Torre and was a TV announcer this year. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was impressed by three attributes he saw in Girardi: hard work, accountability and discipline. "Joe Girardi is a good man," Torre said Monday on "Late Show with David Letterman." "He's got a feel for this organization." "He likes to compete all the time," Cashman said. "We believe he's mentally tough." Once he was informed Monday that the Yankees had chosen Girardi, Don Mattingly told the team he had no interest in returning next year as bench coach or in any other coaching position. JOE GIRARDI New York Yankees new manager Beloved as team captain, "Donnie Baseball" was the early favorite to replace Torre and openly coveted the spot. Instead, the Yank picked experience over popularity, choosing Girardi even at the risk Mattingly would walk away from the franchise. "I think Joe is a good baseball person and totally will be a great manager there in New Still, spurning Mattingly — who always receives one of the loudest ovations on Old-Timers' Day — was sure to be compared to another famous Yankee snub: Babe Ruth was never offered the manager's job he so desperately wanted. York," Mattingly said. "It's no secret that Donnie is extremely important to the Steinbrenner family and the Yankee organization and always will be," said Hank Steinbrenner, son of owner George Steinbrenner. Mattingly was the Yankees hitting coach for three years before moving next to Torre this season. Girardi also beat out Yankees first-base coach Tony Pena, who had the most managerial experience of the candidates. Girardi caught for the Yankees from 1996-99, served as a bench coach in 2005, then managed the Marlins the following year. He kept a young team in contention until September and then was fired, apparently for clashing with owner Jeffre loria and others above him. The 43-year-old Girardi often told many in the Marlins about how the Yankees did things, reinforcing the winning ways he learned in New York. Now, he'll get a chance to try them out himself. Girardi was the first person to interview to replace Torre, who managed the team to the playoffs in each of his 12 seasons. Girardi turned down the Baltimore Orioles' managing job last summer, choosing to spend time with his ailing father. Mattingly also interviewed for the Yankees spot last week, telling team management how much he wanted it. Earlier this month, he said replacing Torre would be quite a challenge. ASSOCIATED PRESS "it's like following John Wooden or something." Mattingly said then. Girardi gets the unenviable task of following Torre, who led the Yankees to four World Series titles in his first five years — but none since — and was one of the most celebrated sports figures in the city. Girardi inherits a team in transition and one without Alex Rodriguez. He also is not assured of getting back pitches Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera or catcher Jorge Posada. "Obviously they are important Yankees, and they have meant so much to the organization," Girardi said. Rivera and his agent, Fernando Cuza, were at Legends Field in Tampa on Tuesday, to talk with Yankees officials. The ace reliever, who has filed for file agency, sau only. "We've got to see something." "I don't know," Cuza said. "It's up to them." Rodriguez informed the Yankees on Sunday that he was terminating Afterward, Cuza said they had a good meeting but wouldn't speculate whether Rivera will be a Yankee next season. his contract and becoming a free agent. The Yankees have repeatedly said they wouldn't negotiate with A-Rod if he hit the open market. "You are going to miss those 54 home runs and 150-plus RBIs, but to me you can't look backwards, you have to look forwards," Girardi said. >>> NFL Chiefs prepare for Packers BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Coming off a bye week and playing a team that played at Denver just six days earlier, the Kansas City Chiefs might seem like they have caught a scheduling break. Not necessarily, Kansas City coach Herm Edwards said Tuesday. He remembers having a road game following a Monday night road game when he was with the New York Jets and says it was no problem. Besides, he added, the Green Bay Packers come into Kansas City 6-1 after an uplifting overtime victory at Denver on Monday night that infused them with confidence and momentum. "When you start winning like that, you can't wait to start playing again," Edwards said. "It's a feeling you know as a coach. When you get that feeling in your locker room with your players, it's fun coaching then. It's always fun coaching, but it's a lot easier then. The players run the deal. "Hey, we're going good. We're humming. We got the stick in our hands." Edwards said the way Green Bay had been playing, there's little chance the Packers will be weary when they kick off at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, with the Chiefs (4-3) trying to make it six straight over them dating back to a 21-3 victory in Kansas City on Nov. 22, 1987. While players and coaches alike were taking the weekend off, Edwards holed up in the film room at Arrowhead and studied every play the Chiefs have run in their "It sounds like they're tired. But they're 6-1," he said. "What are they going to be tired about? Winning? They've been winning. They aren't going to be tired. I promise you that." first seven games. He said he saw both good and bad that he hadn't noticed before. "Some guys you're pleasantly surprised; some guys you're a little bit disappointed in because of the fact you know they can play better," he said. "How can you help them play better? That's the whole key." "There are some guys you expect more out of, and you wonder why they're not playing up to their ability," he said. "Then you have to ask, are you asking this guy to do something that he's not capable of doing? That's the whole key. I always put it back on coaches. You always put it back on the coach: This guy is underachieving. Why? If you're asking them to do something he can't do you have to eliminate that."

MANUFACTURES COOKING 8B SPORTS MLS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2007 Brazil to host Wold Cup A unanimous vote decided the 2014 tournament games BY ERICA BULMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS ZURICH, Switzerland - The country with the most World Cup titles will finally get another chance to win one at home. Brazil, which has won a record five World Cups, was awarded the right to host 2014 tournament Tuesday by FIFA's executive committee. The South American country hosted the competition once before, losing to Uruguay in the 1950 final. The unanimous vote came on the same day the 2011 Women's World Cup was awarded to Germany. Germany, the host of the 2006 men's World Cup, beat out Canada. "We want to be good hosts again," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said during a visit to India. Brazil was the only candidate for the 2014 World Cup because the rotation system meant it had to be played in South America. Colombia had said it would bid, but pulled out in April. "If you think the task of FIFA was After announcing Brazil as the 2014 host, Blatter handed the World Cup trophy to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who flew in for the event. made easier because Brazil was the only candidate, it's not true," FIFA president Sepp Blatter said. "For us it was a real challenge to have the same list of requirements, the same recommendations and conditions for only one candidate, than we had two. Perhaps we put the bar higher than if there had been two." "Soccer is not only a sport for us. It's more than that," Silva said. "Soccer for us is a passion, a national passion." In Brazil, 50 mountain climbers hung an enormous national teamjersey bearing the slogan "The 2014 World Cup is Ours" from majestic Sugar Loaf mountain in Rio de Janeiro. At the Maracana Stadium, workers spread jerseys across the field reading, "The new Maracana is He added: "If everything works out well, we will win once again a World Cup." ours and so is the 2014 World Cup." "We are a civilized nation, a nation that is going through an excellent phase," Brazilian Football Confederation president Ricardo Teixeira said. "And we have got everything prepared to receive adequately the honor to organize an excellent World Cup." Brazilian Sports Minister Orlando Silva, national team coach Dungo and veteran striker Romario were among those that also made the trip. FIBA Since launching its bid, Brazil stressed that a World Cup will extend far beyond sports. People celebrate in downtown Sao Paulo after FIFA confirmed that Brazil will host of the 2014 World Cup on Tuesday. Brazil stressed that the World Cup will extend far beyond sports. "Over the next few years we will have a consistent influx of investments. The 2014 World Cup will enable Brazil to have a modern infrastructure," Teixeira said. "In social terms we will be very beneficial." Tuesday's presentation was smoother than the one in July, which was laden with statistics and underlined Brazil's status as a developing nation with repeated images of its car factories. ASSOCIATED PRESS VIRGINIA ASSOCIATED PRESS Blatter had recently questioned Brazil's infrastructure and bid plans, but FIFA said last week that a stadium-inspection trip in August showed the country could put on an "exceptional" tournament. People wave flags at the Christ the redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Tuesday after Brazil was officially chosen by FIFA as host of the 2014 World Cup. This decision shows the showcase event to soccer-mad country that held the tournament in 1950 and has captured the title a record five times. However, there have been delays in hosting some major events, problems with violence in the streets and the country's public transportation system is often overloaded. The Brazilian soccer confederation estimates that construction and remodeling of stadiums will cost about $1.1 billion, though that could vary significantly depending on the cities chosen to host games. Blatter said the lack of competition from other South American nations was one reason behind FIFA's decision Monday to do away with the rotation system that gave each continent a turn at hosting the World Cup. The decision takes effect with the 2018 tournament. Germany has won the last two Women's World Cup titles, including this year's tournament without conceding a goal. It also has won the European Championship six times. "Women's football is a great development opportunity around the world," German soccer federation president Theo Zwanziger said. "The ball finally is also there for the girls and the women." Germany's presentation included a video showing career highlights of Birgit Prinz, a two-time FIFA player of the year. "I'm just looking forward to the 2011 World Cup," said the Germany captain, who has scored more than 100 goals in nearly 170 international appearances. "It's going to be a great event." The Germans listed 12 cities as sites, with the opener in Berlin and the final in Frankfurt. Canada's bid was based on the strength of its under-20 World Cup this summer, which set attendance records for Canadian sports events and FIFA under-20 tournaments. "We are in a competition," Blatter said in remarks to Canada. "And in competition there is always a winner and a loser. So I wish you well." LIBERTY HALL 642 MASS ST. • LAWRENCE KS HALLOWEEN!

Through the first 10 games, the so-called high-powered offense that boasts Jaromir Jagr, Brendan Shanahan, Scott Gomez and Chris Drury mustered only 16 goals and two wins. On Monday night, in a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, the scorers broke out after Jagr's teeth were knocked out. Jagr snapped a third-period tie with his third goal of the season, and Shanahan padded the lead 2:44 later with his second. "These are the backs that were going to ride," Rangers coach Tom Renney said of the two 600-goal scorers. "These are important people to us because of their experience, the winning that they've done, because they can play and we need them to. Maybe within them they said,' OK, finally'' Jagr flashed a toothless grin on the bench not long before he made a full house of frustrated Rangers fans erupt in cheers with the first of the two power-play goals. In the second period, Jagr took a shot in the mouth either from the stick of a Lightning defenseman, or Gomez's stick, or the puck. The captain didn't know, and didn't seem all that concerned. As Tampa Bay center Vincent Lecavalier prepared for a penalty shot that would be the only drive to elude New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist, Shanahan went looking for Jajir's missing three teeth. He found them, but said they didn't seem real. Jagr smiled when asked if they were natural, and after a pause said, "Gentlemen never tell."

Brown is expected to miss the rest of the season. Missouri fills leadership role ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, Mo. — From a hospital room following surgery to fix his torn Achilles tendon on Sunday, Missouri strong safety Cornelius "Pig" Brown sent a message to his teammates that said "catch me if you can." The message, communicated to his teammates by defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus during position meetings, referred to the record number of production points Brown scored two weeks ago against Texas Tech. Missouri coaches give out production points following each game for tackles, sacks, interceptions and anything else that contributes to a win. For Brown's 14-tackle performance in a 41-10 win over the Red Raiders Oct. 20, he scored more than 70 production points. The tackles include 4 1/2 behind the line of scrimmage. And though it will be hard for any player to equal that total in any of No. 9 Missouri's four remaining games, the message also meant new leaders needed to emerge on an improving defense. "Pig set a real high standard," said Del Howard, who will back up Justin Garrett at strong safety on Saturday against Colorado (5-4, 3-2). "We're all going to try and match his intensity on the field." A couple of weeks ago, Eberler moved Kevin Rutland, a freshman from Houston, from cornerback to safety in order to shore up the depth and this week, Eberler made a similar move when he moved Hardy Ricks to safety. Ricks started eight games at cornerback as a true freshman last year and the first four games this year. But a shoulder injury suffered in preseason practice has slowed him some this year, and Carl Gettis has started all four Big 12 Conference games. Howard is expecting to get the most significant playing time since playing in 12 games a year ago as a true freshman cornerback, when he made two interceptions. But Howard hasn't had trouble adjusting to a position he played while in high school in Dallas. "You're the last line of defense so you've got to stay back," said Howard, who moved back to safety during spring practice. "You've got to watch everything." "He's very physical, he's very intelligent on the football field." Eberlus said about Ricks. "We feel in time he has a chance to be a pretty good player back there in the secondary." Missouri coaches feel the shuffling of the depth chart since Brown's injury, sustained in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 42-28 win over Iowa State, will make up for his absence. 'The bigger question is how to replace Brown's role as a leader. The Missouri defense was in a similar situation last year when all-time sack leader Brian Smith broke his hip in the eighth game against Kansas State. From that point, the Tigers struggled to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks and stumbled to a 1-4 finish. "Bottom line is: this is where we're at," Pinkel said. "You want a chance to win a championship, you want a chance to take this to where we need to go, then step it up." Williams is already taking heading in that direction. When Williams visited Brown in the hospital on Sunday, Brown told him to "over prepare." But Missouri coach Gary Pinkel thinks the 2007 Tigers have enough leaders, such as safety William Moore and defensive lineman Lorenzo Williams, so that a repeat performance does not occur. "So that's what I'm going to do this week," Williams said. "I've watched about five games today, my eyes are a little bloodshot. I've been watching a lot of film." BIG 12 FOOTBALL Kansas State on track to break season records MANHATTAN — Jordy Nelson has a hard time making himself watch game film from a year ago. While the senior receiver enjoys seeing the difference in Kansas State's offense from last year, it makes him cringe to go back and look at old tape. "It's totally different," said Nelson, second in the nation with 126 receiving yards per game. "We watch some film from last year every once in a while, and it's kind of embarrassing to watch ourselves play because we're not even close to where we are right now." Kansas State (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) has already scored 310 points this season, 14 more than in 13 games last year, and all of the Wildcat wins have come by at least 20 points. The Wildcat also have scored at least 39 points five times after doing it twice last year. A second season under coach Ron Prince and offensive coordinator James Franklin has made all the difference. "I think the second year for anything is always a better year," quarterback Josh Freeman said. "More people know what the coach expects, we know the offense better, and we're able to actually run it now instead of just blindly playing." single-season school record — for 1,008 yards and seven touchdowns. He returned a punt for a 92-yard touchdown Saturday in a 51-13 win over Baylor and set a school record with 15 catches against Missouri State earlier this season. Nelson is making a strong bid for All-America consideration, catching 76 passes — already a Freeman and Nelson have made it click. Freeman hasn't been bad, either. The passing numbers and high point totals are nice,but the offense isn't quite where Prince wants it to be,particularly the running game,third-down conversions and scoring in the red zone (inside the 20). The sophomore is on pace to shatter Kansas State's single-season records for completions, attempts and yards, going 209-of-329 for 2,174 yards and 11 touchdowns. Associated Press FINGERS WANTED! Open 7 days a week 785-90-5552 Hurst FINE DIAMONDS That's where the similarities end. LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Someone once told Paul Goydos he should go into the record books for his victory at the Sony Open for becoming the first player to win a PGA Tour event against a field that included a 5-foot boy and a 6-foot girl. One was Tadd. Fujikawa. The other was Michelle Wie. Both are teenagers from Oahu who turned pro before they finished 11th grade and before they had a driver's license. Both have been criticized for giving up their youth. Neither of them has made a PGA Tour cut as a professional. "She's bigger than me — definitely bigger," the pint-sized Fujikawa said with a laugh Tuesday morning on the Palm Course at Disney, where he has received a sponsor's exemption at the tour's final event of the year. "Some people compare me and Michelle, but I don't think that's a true comparison. We're totally different." ASSOCIATED PRESS Young phenoms struggle to qualify >> PGA So totally different in so many ways. Wie's career was orchestrated, if not manipulated. She played 29 times against the pros before she became one herself a week before her 16th birthday. Her market value rose until she cashed in on endorsements with Sony and Nike, eventually Omega, and had a total income of about $20 million after one year. She signed a management contract with the William Morris Agency, known more for its Hollywood stars than golfers. Now in her freshman year at Stanford and rarely breaking par, some wonder whether Wie's best golf is behind her. Fujikawa also took the fast track, but he is starting slowly. The Children's Miracle Network Classic at Disney is his third sponsor's exemption this year. He missed the cut at the Reno-Tahoe Open and the Fry's.com Open in Las Vegas, only breaking par once. He missed the cut in two Nationwide Tour events. His last exemption of the year will be the Casio World Open in Japan next month. Yet, the kid is showing no signs of being discouraged. Fujikawa felt it was his best route to becoming a better golfer, not an instant millionaire. His mother works at an auto body repair shop. His father works in construction. It was a strain on the family for him to seek better competition, which means leaving the islands. "Hopefully, within the next five years I can get my card," he said. "That's one of my main concerns. As long as I have that goal and stick to the plan, it should be fine. I don't want to rush into anything. It's tough. But I'm learning, and I'm definitely improving." If there is no rush, why turn pro? He and his mother, Lori, spent a month on the mainland last year after the U.S. Open to play junior circuits. She brought a rice cooker from home and purchased a frying pan at a retail store, then found the cheapest hotel with rooms where she could cook. "Financially, we're not that high up on the list," he said. This clearly was not a get-rich-quick scheme. Fujikawa was decked in Callaway garb at the Reno-Tahoe Open and wore Taylor-Made at Disney and he continues to test equipment. More than three months after turning pro, he still doesn't have an endorsement deal. His only earnings since he turned pro has come from pro-ams. "I left the pan in the last hotel room we were in before going back to Hawaii," she said. When they were on the same golf course in January at the Sony Open, Jikawa stole the show. Four days after he turned 16, he became the youngest player in 50 years to make the cut on the PGA Tour, and the buzz didn't die until he finished in a tie for 20th. He followed that by winning the Pearl Open, where about half the field is comprised of Japanese pros. With most of the attention on Wie trying to become the first woman to qualify for the men's U.S. Open last year at Canoe Brook, Fujikawa became the youngest qualifier at age 15 when he won the sectional in Hawaii against a 10-man field. Suddenly, the attention and the temptation became too much to ignore. If Wie's career was carefully planned, Fujikawa's was almost by accident. Friends of the family asked Bell if he could recommend an attorney, and with his workload quiet, Bell flew to Honolulu. When he met with Mrs. Fujikawa, she had an 8-inch stack of business cards from people wanting a piece of the kid. "It's not about fast money. If it was, we'd have had that by now," said Kevin Bell, his agent and an attorney for Patton Boggs specializing in intellectual property and patents. "This is about wanting to further his golf career." "She said, 'I've never needed an attorney my whole life.' Bell said. The offers ranged from doing a PSA for a recycling company to making a special appearance an option. The first concern was making sure Fujikawa didn't violate his amateur status, but Bell sensed the boy wasn't long for amateur ranks, and that his parents knew it. "They were afraid to let him go pro," he said. "But they were equally scared of holding him back. He's mature about his golf game. He wants to be treated like a pro, and he acts like one." Fujikawa knows he has a long way to go. He has a history of beating the odds, starting with being born $3 \frac{1}{2}$ months early, so small he could fit into his grandfather's palm. He was hospitalized for three months and given a 50-50 chance to survive. FINAL WEEK! CLINIQUE FREE 8-PIECE GIFT YOUR BONUS WITH ANY CLINIQUE PURCHASE OF $21.50 OR MORE. VALUE $50. YOUR FREE 8-PC.

In the 35th minute Davy Arnaud audacious free kick found its way past a diving Brad Guzan and rippled the back of the Chivas USA net. The 450 fans in the section of Arrowhead known as the Cauldron sent trash bags full of confetti and 120 blue-and-white checkered flags to the sky. They were rejoicing what would be the decisive goal in a 1-0 Wizards victory. "Whenever a goal is scored it's pandemonium," Frei said. "There's a huge amount of joy. In football, basketball and other sports your team scores at regular intervals. It's all of that packed down into the one moment you are all waiting for." After his strike, Arnaud made his way toward the blue and white concentration of Cauldron supporters among the sea of empty orange seats. He joined in celebration with the fans who have supported the team throughout an incredible start to the season and a nearly disastrous finish. Regular fan support for the Wizards outside the Cauldron has been hard to come by, making its contributions even more valuable. While Chiefs games pack an average of 72,969 fans into Arrowhead stadium, the Wizards managed to attract only 11,586 per game in 2007. The pitiful crowds gave the team the unenviable distinction of being the worst draw in MLS. Jimmy Conrad, who recognize the Cauldron's supporters on a regular basis. Arnaud is one of a group of players, including midfielder Kerry Zavagnin and defender PRE-GAME FESTIVITIES "You know they mean a lot to us," Arnaud said. "They have a smaller core group of fans maybe than other markets, but they're passionate. They come out every week and support us, and we try and show some love back to them sometimes." For the Cauldron, preparations began more than three hours prior to game time. George Hanson and the other members of Wings of a Sparrow, the group that organizes the Cauldron tailgate, gathered around Hanson's RV and tents in Arrowhead lot C10 to fire up two huge grills. Before each home game, the group provides traditional tailgating offerings like chili and racks of ribs, as well as entrees based on Kansas City's opponent, for $5 a person. On Saturday that entree was roasted goat in honor of Chivas USA. But most fans seemed content to knock back solo cups full of Guinness and Mac's Beer, which are on tap courtesy of Kansas City's Embassy Bistro, while enjoying more time-honored foods. The diversity and welcoming nature of the group was apparent as fans welcomed anyone and everyone drawn in by the smell of smoked meat. From grizzled veterans of the team's inaugural 1996 season, to high school and college-age fans, to parents with children, the wide range of Wizards fans was obvious. second leg info Kansas City defeated Chivas USA 1-0 in game one.

"We all get together we all have one thing in common and that's to see our team." As kickoff approached, fans clad in blue and white jerseys and team scarves abandoned barbecue and beer for checked flags, banners, chants and drums. Spurred on by the resounding beat of a bass drum, Cauldron members — young and old, male and female, wielding flags — marched into the stadium, chanting (in between drum beats) in unison: "We are *boom, boom* KC Wiz *boom-boom, boom-boom* THE THRILL OF VICTORY The Cauldron prides itself on the level of noise it generates in support of the Wizards each game. On Saturday, members of the Cauldron belted out a nearly constant stream of comical, and many times vulgar, chants and songs. They proclaimed their unquestioned status as Wizards fans and derided opposing players and referees for shortcomings, imagined or not. "What we bring is the home field advantage, the constant barrage of noise, singing, chanting, clapping and drumming," Robert Houghton, Cauldron president, said. "It gets into the head of the opponents, hopefully throwing them off their game, while at the same time get-tine behind our team." Those efforts were rewarded with a narrow, hard-fought Wizards' victory that gives the team hope for a prolong playoff run. As stoppage time ended, it didn't take long for blue-and-white smoke bombs to fill the air with the smell of sulfur as the Cauldron continued the string of chants barely broken for the previous 90 minutes. Supporters hoisted flags once more and reveled in the fact that their first playoff berth since 2004 was off to a nearly perfect start. As to whether its antics directly contributed to the playoff win, Wizards coaches and players, including Arnaud and Zavagnin, made their way to sections 102 and 103 after time expired to reciprocate the Cauldron's support. Zavagnin even donated his sweat-soaked game jersey to one delighted fan in the front row. oversized for the kind of crowds that we get," Zavagnin said. "Game in and game out, they are the most vocal of anyone in the stadium and their passion for the game shows. We have a good rapport with them. We appreciate their support and to share wins with them is a good feeling because they are there in the good times and the bad" OUTLOOK For now, times are most definitely good for the Cauldron and the Wizards. The MLS Cup is an attainable goal despite an inconsistent regular season. The Cauldron has grown exponentially this year. Signs suggest it won't slow anytime soon as a soccer-obsessed Hispanic fan base continues to warm to MLS. Based on the efforts of dedicated soccer advocates like Hanson and Houghton, supporter groups like the Cauldron will continue to develop fans like Frei, who found an enthusiasm in something fresh and exciting. For Frei, the Cauldron's community of fans and provider of crucial stadium atmosphere is simple. "We play in a stadium that is way "it's sort of our own little paradise here in Kansas," he said. >> NBA - Edited by Rachael Gray Spurs burn through Portland; 106-97 ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO - Tim Duncan had 24 points and 13 The Jayhawk Nation CONGRATULATES Alpha Chi Omega and Theta Chi for winning the homecoming Medallion Hunt JAYHAWK NATION Homecoming 2007 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs got their title defense off to a successful start with a 106-97 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.
