A group of white students hung moose from a tree at Jena High School in Jena, La. The event sparked a fight that resulted in six black students being charged with assault, battery and attempted murder. The Jubilee Cafe might have to shut down because of a lack of funding. It could leave hundreds of homeless people in Lawrence who depend on it without meals. After a two year absence, the NAACP will once again have a presence on the University of Kansas campus. Chris DeLaCruz, Coffeyville senior, said that the previously listed recent events showed that racial and human rights issues still existed. He said it was time for a group at the University to fight back. FULL STORY PAGE 3A A man cleans up debris from a dumpster.

Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Jayhawks see third team in Top 10 Kansas debaters ranked No.1 in nation after six successful tournaments BY JEFF DETERS ideters@kansan.com The University of Kansas has another team in the Top 10. But this team isn't football or men's basketball. This team makes its points with words, literally. The KU debate team was recently ranked No. 1 in the nation after strong showings in the first six tournaments of the year. In addition, a $1 million endowment has been raised through private donations to KU Endowment to help fund the debate team. The money will be used for scholarships, travel and other expenses. Scott Harris, debate coach and professor of communications, said the team's accomplishments were a result of ability and dedication from the students. "This particular group of students is one of the hardest working squads that I have had at Kansas." The KU debate team has a long history of success, having earned four National Debate Tournament championships and 13 NDT Final Fours. In recent years, the debate team has traveled to tournaments on the campuses of Wake Forest, Dartmouth and University of ished in second place.

Last season, they finished the year as the third-ranked team in the nation, and at Hereford the duo finished second as a team. Jennings and Bricker also finished third and fourth individually. Jennings has debated since his freshman year in high school. He said his favorite debate topic was the Middle East. "It's a very timely issue and the situation there is constantly evolving, which makes talking about it fun," he said. Nate Johnson, Manhattan senior, has been involved with debate since high school. He finished 20th individually at Harvard and said he enjoyed debate because it offered him a unique way to compete against others. "I just really enjoy debating other people," he said. "It's more intellectually based rather than physical." Harris said the debate team was open to all interested students, regardless of their skill level. "Debate is a very time-consuming activity that requires a lot of hard work, but it is an incredibly rewarding experience" he said.

Maggie Bixler, program coordinator, said the parents were in need of something structured yet fun for their junior high students to do during those hours. Bixler said the volunteers from the University were very appreciated because the students didn't see them as adults and considered them "cool." She said the organizations that had visited this fall had been received very well by the students, and she hoped more organizations would share their time and talent.

Andrea Conn, of Windsor, Pa., was jailed Saturday night after an officer looking into the noise complaint discovered she was wanted for failing to appear in court in 2003. But the warrant should not have been in the county's system because it was taken care of that year, York County Prothonotary Pamela Lee said Wednesday. The warrant was issued after Conn missed a court hearing for failure to pay court costs associated with seeking a protection-from-abuse order, Lee said. Conn was jailed briefly four years ago, but was released after someone else paid the court costs for her. "We don't understand why (the warrant) wasn't taken out," Lee said. "I understand the woman's angst. It's awful." Conn was released Monday Ghost inspector debugs Santa Fe video mystery ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Jeepers, it was just one of those creepers. An investigator specializing in all things bizarre has debugged the mystery of the Santa Fe courthouse ghost — a specter captured on a blurry surveillance videotape. "In the end, it was in fact a bug or insect of some sort that was on the lens of the surveillance camera",said Benjamin Radford, a paranormal investigator and managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine. The image — a glowing spot drifting in front of a patrol car parked beneath some trees — generated more than 132,000 hits on YouTube.com since Santa Fe County Deputy Alfred Arana first noticed the image June 15. “There were a wide variety of theories on what it was,” said Radford. “Some said it was a ghost. Some said it was drifting cottonwood fluff. Some said it was a prank.” But the one that stuck was a ghost. Radford drove to Santa Fe to watch the original video. After various tests, Radford shelled out $9 for 1,750 ladybugs and put the bugs on the camera casing. "Sure enough, we got the ghost," he said. Radford said it was a rare definitive answer in his line of work investigating paranormal activity. Associated Press What do you think? I WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOMECOMING EVENT?

THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2007 NEWS 3A 》 STUDENT GROUPS NAACP reforms to fight against racial injustices, create awareness Chapter supports human rights issues, works to create discussion series Jossie Fottorlini/KANSAN Get It Started Chris DeLaCruz, Coffeyville, senior, and Christopher Reine, Kansas City, Mo., senior discuss their plans for the new chapter of the NAACP Tuesday evening in the Multicultural Resource Center. Both students look forward to promoting the association that they recently started at the University. BY SARAH NEFF SNEFF@KANSAN.COM Nooses that hung in a school yard and a young, black woman who was tortured inspired Christopher Reine to restart the University of Kansas chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Reine, Kansas City, Mo., senior and president of the NAACP at the University, said his mentor, Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, suggested Reine work to bring back the NAACP chapter to the University. Reine said recent racial injustices including the Jena Six — six black students were charged with second degree attempted murder of a white student after a group of white students hung nooses in a Louisiana schoolyard — and Megan Williams, a 20-year-old black woman who was kidnapped, tortured and raped by six white individuals, were part of the inspiration for restarting the group. "I hope that we are taken seriously, that the campus sees us as an organization who is trying to put forth the effort to change people's views on how they perceive other races." Reine said. Reine said he was still working on getting the chapter together. He said they put together their executive board and were working on recruitment. Koga Moffer, Overland Park junior, said she joined the chapter to bring attention to racial issues. She said that at a predominately white school, it was easy to forget about the issues going on in the rest of the nation. "If we can touch just one person, just look outside of your little perfect world and realize that there other things going on with people, and they are not asking for it," Moffer said. "Megan Williams didn't ask to be kidnapped and raped. I just want people to have a broader view of what life is like for other people." Chris DeLaCruz, Coffeyville senior and first vice president of the NAACP at the University, said he felt that there was apathy toward racial issues on campus. He said the University needed a student organization that rallied against injustice. He said that members could promote the organization in the direction they wanted it to go. "If people don't like what's going on, please join and voice your opinions," DeLaCruz said. Reine said the chapter planned several mobilizations, which are basically rallies and protests, for the next semester. DeLaCruz said one of the first issues they would address was the possibility of the Jubilee Cafe closing down. He said that although it was not directly related to civil rights issues, it was an important human rights issue. "The right to eat and the right to survive are things that view as important. We don't want it to become where all we are doing is complaining about civil rights", DeLaCruz said. "We care about all people and the Jubilee Café is a good example at that." Other mobilizations include protesting against Missouri Civil Rights Initiative, a group that is working to ban affirmative action. Reine said they also wanted to help get more minority faculty and staff, create a brown bag discussion series on civil rights issues and have a pizza and politics event with an influential minority leader. For more information, contact Chris DeLaCruz at Chris.DeLeCruz. KU@gmail.com. Edited by Meghan Murphy Last night, full Student Senate met and voted on several pieces of legislation. Below is a recap of the actions taken by Student Senate. SUSPENSIONS AND DISMISSALS student senate notes The Student Executive Committee dismissed a student senator and suspended the chairman of the University Affairs committee. Scott Paradise, an off-campus senator, was dismissed because of missed office hours and poor attendance. CLOSED MEETING Patrick McGowan, chairman of the University Affairs Committee was suspended because of poor attendance. Mason Heilman, Lawrence sophomore and chair of the Student Rights Committee, took responsibility for a closed Student Rights Committee meeting held last week in violation of Senate Rules and Regulations. Heilman said that the meeting was inappropriate but that he did not have bad intentions when he allowed the meeting to happen. According to Student Senate Rules and Regulations, meetings that are not open to the public are prohibited. On Oct. 24, the Student Rights Committee used a closed forum to discuss the tuition sponsorships of several members of the Student Senate executive staff and the Graduate and Professional Association. During the closed forum, nonvoting members of the Student Rights committee were asked to leave. LEED AMENDMENT Student Senate sent a bill back to the University Affairs Committee that would require new buildings built with Student Senate or student fee funding to meet the requirements of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification. LEED Certification requires a certain level of points that a building must earn by implementing energy efficient heating and cooling,building bike racks and having rooms with timers that turn the utilities off when the room is not in use. Studie Redcorn, Shawnee seni- ior and former student senator, said that meeting these require- ments would only cost 1 to 6 percent more than a building that does not meet the LEED Certification requirements. He also said that it would ultimately save the University money in the long term, because utility costs would be lower. University Affairs Committee votes on the amendment next week. If it passes in the committee, full Senate will vote on the amendment. HISTORY PANELS Student Senate passed legislation to spend $10,000 on history panels that will be located in the gateway connecting the Kansas Union to the Multicultural Resource Center. The panels will consist of pieces that represent different multicultural images and a digital screen that will recount the history of the Multicultural Resource Center. The panels will make announcements about current events at the center. Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior and student body vice president, said that the panels should be bought with Student Senate funds because the members of the Multicultural Resource Center want KU students to have ownership in the center. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring HEALTH New Dutch study reveals many older adults may have asymptomatic brain abnormalities BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — One in 60 older people may be walking around with benign brain tumors and don't know it. Even more may have bulging blood vessels in the head that could burst. These results come from a surprising new Dutch study that finds brain abnormalities are not all that uncommon. It's not clear how alarming it is. Most of the abnormalities hadn't caused any symptoms, though some were potentially life-threatening. But the findings may have implications for patients in the future: As more of these abnormalities are spotted with more sophisticated equipment during routine medical tests, some doctors may urge patients to have surgery or other treatment as a precaution. Or some patients may push doctors to fix the potential problem. "It's very scary to learn there's something wrong in your head," said Dr. Aad van der Lugt, an associate professor in radiology at Erasmus MC University Medical Center in Rotterdam and a co-author of the study published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. The study is based on MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging scans of 2,000 healthy adults with an average age of 63. They were participating in a study to look at the causes and consequences of age-related brain changes. The new paper's findings were incidental to the main research.

Concerns have been raised about the safety of cell adhesion molecules in mobile devices by combining thermophilic biodegradation with a cell adhesion mechanism. This process is performed on a macroscale by means of a cell adhesion system that includes a membrane-bound protein (MBP) containing the Membrane Biodegradation Complex (MBC). Dual-strand helical RNA polymerase II facilitates the MBP's interaction with cell membranes.

EDITORIAL BOARD BURRITO-MADE EPIPHANIES Felons on the University payroll According to the Director of Human Resources Ola Faucher O'Shea, only within the past three or four years has the University of Kansas conducted criminal background checks. In addition, the University has only recently begun checking the Kansas Sex Offender Registry. The University may employ staff members who were hired prior to the new background checks and do not check the criminal status on current employees. O'Shea explained that there are factors that determine whether a felon would be considered for employment such as: How long So long as background checks are done, a criminal past shouldn't keep someone from employment In this day and age, a stigma is placed on those who have a criminal history, especially those convicted of felonies. After paying fines, serving possible jail time and being placed on probation, the felon is then allowed to try and reintegrate his or herself into the normal working world with the thought that their debt to society had been paid. However, the article brought to mind the uneasiness that our society holds in regards to the thought of sharing a break room with a person who has a criminal history, however small or irrelevant it may be to their current position. An Oct. 14 article in the Lawrence Journal-World exposed the University of Kansas' history of hiring convicted felons, with at least seven currently on the payroll, including a sex offender. ago the conviction was, the nature of the conviction, eligibility regarding the position sought and reports from previous employers. It is of course extremely important that the University knows what type of people it employs. KU's decision to conduct full background checks is commendable, although it should have been done earlier. While everyone should be given consideration for employment, provided they don't pose a demonstrable risk to themselves or others on campus, common sense says that it's still important to know the past of all employees, whether they're maintenance workers or lecturers. With the stigmas and extensive applicant checks, obtaining a job post-felony conviction can be difficult. As a society, we tend to 'hang out to dry' the easy targets, even when they have served their sentence and are trying to regain a sense of a normal life. We again point fingers at those who have done wrong, following the credo 'once guilty, always guilty'. In order to help these felons continue to avoid lives of crime, we need to look past their history and conviction and instead consider the rehabilitation they underwent and the steps they are taking to become responsible, law-abiding citizens again.

Video game no match for the real thing Rather than play 'Guitar Hero,' it's better to purchase a real guitar and learn to play it ROSS STEWART I'm not the typical college guy. The bane of my existence is not the idea of a full night's sleep with an alarm clock set for eight. What I truly abhor in my college life is one thing alone: "Guitar Hero." This is college. This is where every guy in an English class raises his hand when the class is asked who plays guitar. If you're not fluent with "Guitar Hero," let me explain it to you. It's a video game played via a guitar-shaped controller with which one matches five colored buttons in rhythm with coinciding colors on screen to play a guitar part of a once popular song. Sounds fun right? No, no it is not. As both a guitar player and college student, I hate this game. This is why the concept baffles me so. One should go out and learn to play a real guitar instead of playing a sad intimation. What happened to pride? As a guitar player I hate it even more. The game isn't about playing guitar, it's about matching colors in tempo—I'm convinced it's actually harder to do than playing a real guitar. The weirdest thing to me is that guys enjoy playing a guitar in part because of the attention it earns them from women; guitar playing can be a self-indulgent activity, one sometimes preferable to sex, even though it can eventually lead to it. tar playing along to "Welcome to the Jungle." How's anyone going to make that look sexy? Yet, this game does not impel women to talk to you. In fact it can turn many of them away. A man looks rather ridiculous holding a plastic imitation gui- A few of my friends disagree with me on this and have told me to compare it to other video games, like "Grand Theft Auto" for instance, where one can do something that they couldn't normally do in real life by just matching symbols with positioning. But the major flaw in that is I can go buy a gun and jack a person relatively easily, if not as easily as in "Grand Theft Auto," while "Guitar Hero" is far more difficult than playing an actual guitar (plus an individual is way cooler for playing a real guitar). Recently "Guitar Hero III" came out on various video game systems. My roommate purchased it. I watched as several of his friends and he thoroughly destroyed the game—they owned it (to put it in non-shredder terms, they did quite well). of zoned out and became mesmerized by the flashing colors and wicked guitar lines until my eyes landed upon their fingers. They were all playing that game faster than I can play guitar now with eight years under my belt. I started to think about how accomplished they would all be as players if they actually picked up a guitar and learned some basic theory. I think "Guitar Hero" ruins the drive for people to learn to play the guitar. Who wants to practice something that doesn't have flashy colors or high scores to beat nowadays? So have fun with your imitation rocking. I be over here doing the real deal. That is unless you'd like to pick up the real deal, if so I completely support your decision.

But I saw one on a car in front of me on Lollipop Lane (Mississippi Street) that read, "Stop Chimpanzee Research." This is a ridiculous imperative statement, and one that I canto the editor at editor@kansan.com. Especially if the information I was reading either had pictures of baby ones with dry pieces of grass in their fur with humorous quotes above their heads, or maybe a VHS tape of their adorable antics. In fact, I would like to do some chimpanzee research first-hand. Then I could put diapers on them and hug them a lot. I could play with a baby, and teach him baseball. And then communicate with the parents to develop a relationship, in which I would be a wacky outsider somehow finding a place in their ape family and, in the end, bringing them closer together, like Sinbad in "Houseguest." I would like to feed a banana to a monkey. But chimpanzees aren't monkeys. They are apes. I learned that in my chimpanzee research. I do understand some people's hesitance toward chimpanzee research. My friend Dan Barbuto hates chimpanzees. He is terribly afraid of them, though he is even more afraid of the hybrid humanize. If he found a chimpanzee somewhere, and he felt that he could take him, my friend would have no problem with killing it. But this seemingly irrational reaction seems to stem from his fear of anything that attacks the human race in science fiction films, like machines, or aliens or the Chinese. But, aside from Dan in his apocalyptic Charlton Heston-inspired nightmares, who wouldn't want to learn more about our genetic next door neighbors? It's just good biological manners.

KJ student volunteers usually meet on Wednesdays, at Liberty Hall to help junior high students and plan events and projects. Andrew Wacker/KANSAN After-school program offers alternative for early dismissal BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com Tio Duermeier recently spent his Wednesday afternoon juggling and visiting with seventh- to ninth-grade students at the afterschool program Wednesdays at Liberty Hall. The program brings in entertainment, educational presentations and organizations to provide safe and fun activities for the students each Wednesday, when the students get out of school early. Duermeier, KU juggling club vice president and Lawrence senior, encouraged other KU groups to visit. However, he warned them to be aware of a big distraction for the students. "That age is a tough crowd and there was free pizza," Duermeier said. "But we showed them we had a few tricks up our sleeve." Maggie Bixler, KU alumna and program coordinator, said the program was a good balance between awareness programs and fun activities that ranged from hip-hop lessons, drug prevention and theater performances. She said about 50 students attended each week. The program is usually held at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachussetts St., unless there "They're very influential at this age and make those critical choices.

"I Duermeier said the juggling club visited the program in September to give basic demonstrations and help the students learn to juggle. He said he attended Central Junior High in Lawrence and wished he had a similar after-school program when he was in junior high. He said he would have enjoyed the regular structured activities and think it's a medium ground. They're not adults, yet they're still a little cooler to them." J u s t i n Gramarye, juggling club member and Fairfax, Va., graduate student, said he enjoyed goofing around with the kids and teaching students how to juggle. "We got them involved, and some made serious progress. Overall, we had fun; they had fun." JUSTIN GRAMARYE Junior, Fairfax, Va. said other groups, especially those Gramarye said the group was definitely planning on visiting again. He that would appeal specifically to that age group, should seriously consider visiting the program. The junior high students met at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., for Halloween activities of making caramel apples and zombie costumes Wednesday. The Lawrence-based E.M.U. theater also performed for the students and took them through "zombie boot camp" to teach them to be zombies. Bixler said the Wednesdays at Liberty Hall program began last year with help from the Community Impact Fund grant from United Way. She said the funding for the grant lasted two years, so they were already looking for additional sponsors and funding. Bixler said the after-school program focused on prevention programming for junior high students and provided supervised activity between the early release from school on Wednesdays from 2 to 4 p.m. Bixler said Wednesdays at Liberty Hall started at about the same time the early dismissal was implemented. "There was a lot of concern throughout the community," Bixler said. "Where were these kids going to go? They're very influential at this age and make those critical choices. We knew these kids needed a place to go." Bixler said many KU students and organizations had volunteered their time this semester, but she would love to see more, especially in the spring semester. Edited by Rachel Bock "There are so many KU organizations that could share something with our kids," Bixler said, "just to have fun with them or share their culture with them."

Spears, always photographed but rarely interviewed these days, also spoke about her new album "Blackout" during the seven-minute talk, during which she giggled frequently as her assistant, Alli Sims, and friend, Sam Lufti, laughed and shouted in the background. When "American Idol" host, who has a morning radio show on KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, asked Spears if she was doing all she could for her children, Spears replied, "Oh God yeah." "People say what they want and do what they do and it's sad how people, how cruel our world can be," she said.

When Seacrest asked Spears if the intense coverage of her recent troubles has been "overwhelming," she said, "Wait, what?" tabloids and in the magazines," she said. "But you just try to keep on doing what you do, like, you know, and as long as you know what's up and you know what's true, that's all that really matters, you know?"

DIVORCE Paul McCartney's ex-wife speaks out BY ROBERT BARR ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Heather Mills McCartney accused Paul McCartney of failing to protect her and their 3-year-old daughter Beatrice from abuse, which she says ranges from lies and slander to death threats. Breaking her recent silence about issues surrounding their divorce case, Mills McCartney gave two television interviews Wednesday. She also announced that she would seek European legislation to compel newspapers to apologize for untruthful stories. "Do you fear for your life?" she was asked in a British Broadcasting Corp. television interview. "Yes I do, yes I do," she said. "And you are saying that Paul McCartney does not protect you and your child?" She also appeared earlier in the day on an ITV television morning show, saying she had taken precau "I'm afraid not," Mills McCartney said. tions because of death threats. "I have a box of evidence that's going to a certain person, should anything happen to me, so if you top me off it's still going to that person, and the truth will come out," she said. PETER TATTOO "There is so much fear from a certain party of the truth coming out that lots of things have been put out and done, so the police came 'round and said, 'You have had serious death threats from an underground movement." On the BBC, she was asked if the tabloid newspapers were at fault. "It's the tabloids and a certain party, but it is so extreme and so abusive ... I mean, I've been called monster, whore, gold digger, fantasist, liar." "When you say certain party, do you mean someone from Paul McCartney's camp?" BBC reporter Maxine Mawhinney asked. Heather Mills McCartney, estranged wife of former Beattie Paul McCartney, broke her silence Wednesday about her divorce from Paul McCartney. In TV interviews she said that she feared for her life because of death threats and blamed taboos for her problems. "I'm not allowed to talk about Paul and the court case and all that kind of stuff, because we are in court," Mills McCartney said.

This sentence is down from the possible 7-year sentence. Court sentences Lane Garrison to three years, four months in jail BY RAQUEL MARIA DILLON ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Lane Garrison was sentenced to three years and four months in prison Wednesday for a drunken driving crash that killed a 17-year-old Beverly Hills High student last December. "The public has the right to know that conduct such as this, causing devastation such as this" will have consequences, Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox, said. "Unfortunately, in this case, you have to be the messenger," he told the former "Prison Break" actor. Garrison, 27 could have received nearly seven years in prison. He had no reaction to the sentencing and was taken away in handcuffs. Before the sentencing, he apologized to the family of Vahagn Setian. "I'm sick of my own behavior that night," he said. "This remorse is genuine. I feel it every day." ing T-shirts that had Setian's photograph and the motto: "The梦 as if you live forever.

"There's no comment from our side," said his spokesman, Stuart Bell. Garrison met the teens at a grocery store and accompanied them to a party. At the time of the crash, Garrison had a blood-alcohol level of 0.20 percent, more than twice the legal limit for driving, and was under the influence of cocaine, according to police. Mills McCartney, who is still negotiating a financial settlement in the divorce case, urged the public to stop buying sensationalist newspapers. Garrison 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. HOLLYWOOD BY GARY GENTILE ASSOCIATED PRESS New contract ready for TV, movie producers LOS ANGELES — Hollywood writers have a revision ready for TV and movie producers. Contract talks resumed on Wednesday, with the Writers Guild of America ready to submit a revamped contract proposal with the hope of avoiding a strike after the current pact expired at midnight. Details of the proposal were not released. Producers said they would consider the revision but wouldn't agree to anything that would restrict their ability to experiment with new Internet and other digital delivery options for films and TV shows. "We will not ignore the challenges of today's economic realities, the shifts in audience taste and viewing habits, and the unpredictability of still-evolving technology" the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said in a prepared statement. A key issue in negotiations involves giving writers more money from the sale of DVDs and the distribution of shows via the Internet, cell phones and other digital platforms. A federal mediator joined the talks for a second day. It was unclear when writers might walk off the job if a new deal isn't reached. More than 5,000 guild members recently voted, with 90 percent authorizing negotiators to call the first strike since 1988, if necessary. The union set a meeting of its 12,000 members for Thursday night at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Jonathan Handel, an entertainment lawyer who served in the 1990s as an associate counsel for the writers guild, said it was in the union's interest to delay a walkout, perhaps by five days or more.

LEDERER ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday urged all nations to observe a truce during the Beijing Olympics next summer to enable all athletes to compete and help build "a peaceful and better world through sport." A resolution adopted by the 192-nation world body recalled the ancient Greek tradition of ekcheiria, or "Olympic Truce," citing it as a model for encouraging a peaceful environment, ensuring safe passage for athletes and mobilizing the "youth of the world to the cause of peace." The truce covers Beijing's Olympic Games set for Aug. 8-24 and the following Paralympic Games on Sept. 6-17. The General Assembly revived the call for an Olympic Truce in 1993 after an appeal from the International Olympic Committee allowed athletes of warton Yugoslavia to participate in the 1992 Barcelona Games. According to the IOC's Web site, the General Assembly has unanimously called for a truce during each Olympics since then. But while the modern Olympics have been suspended only for the two world wars, the peaceful competitions have not halted smaller-scale conflicts. IOC President Jacques Rogge and sports officials from a number of nations were in the General Assembly chamber for the adoption of the resolution, which was co-sponsored by 182 countries. It was approved by consensus. Liu Qi, president of the Beijing Organizing Committee, introduced the resolution, saying that "at its very heart lies the pledge to safeguard world peace and promote common development of mankind, while at the same time upholding the Olympic spirit of 'swifter, higher, stronger'" Thousands of refugees flee into Uganda amid intense fighting in Congo 》 UGANDA BY KATY POWNALL ASSOCIATED PRESS KISORO, Uganda — Mani Fosten's wife and three children are missing after the 35-year-old was separated from them amid the surging violence behind Congo's latest refugee crisis.

Spanish court convicts suspects in Madrid train bombings Prosecutors have mixed reactions about verdict; victims' family members say men deserve more punishment BY PAUL HAVEN ASSOCIATED PRESS MADRID, Spain — Spain's National Court convicted the three main suspects in the Madrid commuter train bombings of mass murder Wednesday and sentenced them to tens of thousands of years in prison for Europe's worst Islamic terror attack. But the verdict was a mixed bag for prosecutors, who saw four other key defendants convicted of lesser offenses and an accused ringleader acquitted altogether. With much of the case resting on circumstantial evidence, the three judges may have been wary after a number of high-profile Spanish terror cases were overturned on appeal. Spain's prime minister said the verdict still upheld justice. But victims of the attack, which killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,800 when bombs exploded on four trains on March 11, 2004, expressed shock and sadness over the court's decision. "The verdict seems soft to us" Pidlar Manjon, who lost her 20- year-old son in the attack and has become a leader of a victims association. "I don't like it that murderers are going free." Three lead suspects — Jamal Zougam and Othman Gnaoul of Morocco and Emilio Suarez Trashorras of Spain — were convicted of murder and attempted murder and received prison sentences ranging from 34,000 to 43,000 years. Under Spanish law, the most they will spend in jail is 40 years. Spain has no death penalty or life imprisonment. Zougam was convicted of placing at least one bomb on a train and Gnaoui of being a right-hand man of the plot's operational chief. Trashorras, who once worked as a miner, was found guilty of supplying the explosives used in the bombs. One of the biggest surprises was the acquittal of Rabei Osman, an Egyptian already convicted and jailed in Italy for the Madrid bombings. Italian authorities said Osman bragged in tapped Arabic-language phone conversations that he was the brains behind the Madrid plot. But translations of the taped conversations by two sets of Spanish translators indicated his comments were more nuanced and did not amount to a confession. The Spanish verdict came just two days after an Italian appeals court upheld Osman's conviction there, but shaved two years off his prison term, sentencing him to eight years. Osman watched the Spanish proceedings on a videoconference link from the Justice Palace in Milan. The Europa Press news agency reported that he broke down in tears and shouted: "I've been absolved! I've been absolved!" Four other top suspects — Youssef Belhadj, Hassan el Haski, Abdulmajid Bouchar and Rafa Zouhier — were acquitted of murder but convicted of other charges that included belonging to a terrorist organization. They received sentences of 10 to 18 years in prison. Fourteen other defendants were found guilty of lesser crimes and six others were acquitted.

Both issues competed for the precious little spacewalking time that's left in Discovery's mission, which already was extended a day after the first problem cropped up last week. Spacewalks were scheduled for Thursday and Saturday. Astronauts Scott Parazynski and Douglas Wheelock were getting ready Wednesday to spend the mission's fourth spacewalk thoroughly inspecting a malfunctioning rotary joint that keeps the station's solar panels turned toward the sun. But that task may be pre-empted if NASA can figure out how to repair a giant solar wing that ripped as it was being unfurled on Tuesday. The tear forced the space agency to halt the process before the wing was fully extended. Until at least one of the problems is resolved, the station won't be able to generate enough power to support new equipment, such as a European lab that is supposed to be delivered by Atlantis in December. Delaying that mission would set back other deliveries, including the planned February installation of a new Japanese lab. NASA is up against a quickly nearing 2010 deadline to complete the space station and retire the three remaining shuttles. The solar wing damage marred an otherwise very successful day. Two of shuttle Discovery's crew had just finished a seven-hour spacewalk to install the beam that holds the wings. Deploying the damaged wing's twin went off without a hitch. Astronauts took pictures of the wing tear, but NASA engineers couldn't tell what caused the damage, space station flight director Heather Rarick said late Tuesday. The crew was asked to take more pictures on Wednesday. "Until we know what we think the cause is, maybe until we get some better pictures, I don't think we really have any solid leads on how to fix it yet," Rarick said. Earlier Tuesday, space station program manager Mike Suffredini said spacewalking astronauts could cut whatever might be snagging the solar wing, like a hinge, and possibly sew up the tear. NASA also wasn't sure about the cause of the rotary joint problem. Steel shavings were found during a spacewalk this past weekend in the joint on the right side of the station. Until NASA figures out what's grinding inside the gears and fixes it, the right joint will remain in a parked position as much as possible, limiting power collection. On Thursday, Parazynski and Wheelock plan to remove 21 protective covers from the joint and search for whatever's causing the problem. They also may clean up some of the debris. 》NASA Congress to view aviation survey results; safety problems could affect airline profits BY RITA BEAMISH ASSOCIATED PRESS course, NASA Michael Griffin Reversing Administrator pro mised Congress on Wednesday he would publicly disclose results of an unprecedented federal aviation survey which found that aircraft near collisions, runway interference and other safety problems some 24,000 pilots.

Hundreds of recently paroled sex offenders are listing themselves as homeless. ASSOCIATED PRESS BY DON THOMPSON ASSOCIATED PRESS Quiet SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Hundreds of California sex offenders who face tough new restrictions on where they can live are declaring themselves homeless — truthfully or not — and that's making it difficult for the state to track them. Jessica's Law, approved by 70 percent of California voters a year ago, bars registered sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park where children gather. That leaves few places where offenders can live legally. Some who have had trouble finding a place to live are avoiding rearest by reporting — falsely, in some cases — that they are homeless. Experts say it is hard to monitor sex offenders when they lie about their address or are living day-to-day in cheap hotels, homeless shelters or on the street. It also means they may not be getting the treatment they need. Similar laws in Iowa and Florida have driven offenders underground or onto the streets. "We could potentially be making the world more dangerous rather than less dangerous," said therapist Gerry Blasingame, past chairman of the California Coalition on Sexual Offending. tors. "They drop off the registry because they don't want to admit living in a prohibited zone," said Corwin Ritchie, executive director of the association of Iowa prosecu- The organization tried unsuccessfully in the past two years to persuade lawmakers to repeal the state's 2,000-foot residency restriction. "Most legislators know in their hearts that the law is no good and a waste of time, but they're afraid of the politics of it," Ritchie said. The problem is worsening in Florida as about 100 local ordinances add restrictions to the state's 1,000-foot rule, said Florida Corrections Department spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger. Sixteen homeless offenders are now living under a Miami bridge, while one another took to sleeping on a bench outside a probation office. "As society has imposed restrictions, it becomes almost impossible for them to find places to live," Plessinger said. Twenty-two states have distance restrictions varying from 500 feet to 2,000 feet, according to California researchers. But most impose the offender-free zones only around schools, and several apply only to child molesters, not all sex offenders. California's law requires paroles to live in the county of their last legal residence. But in San Francisco, for example, all homes are within 2,000 feet of a school or park. "The state is requiring parolees to find eligible housing in San Francisco, knowing full well there isn't any," said Mike Jimenez, president of the California parole officers union. "It will be impossible for parole agents to enforce Jessica's Law in certain areas, and encouraging 'transient' living arrangements just allows sex offenders to avoid it altogether." State figures show a 27 percent increase in homelessness among California's 67,000 registered sex offenders since the law took effect in November 2006. Since August, the number of offenders with no permanent address rose by 560 to 2,622. "This is a huge surge," said Deputy Attorney General Janet Neeley, whose office maintains the database. "Any law enforcement officer would tell you we would prefer to have offenders at addresses where we can locate them." Offenders who declare themselves homeless must tell their parole officer each day where they spent the previous night. Those who declare themselves homeless are still legally bound by the 2,000-foot rule; they cannot stay under a bridge near where children gather, for example. But it is more difficult for parole officers to keep tabs on them. Parole officers said some offenders are registering as homeless, then sneaking back to homes that violate the law. That's easy to do because fewer than 30 percent of transient offenders currently wear the Global Positioning System tracking devices required by Jessica's Law.

Equal Opportunity Employer IMMIGRATION ProAmerica Web site discourages hiring of illegal immigrants BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS LAWRENCE — Josh Link sometimes spends 15 or 20 minutes shaping a single stone for a wall. He's proud of using a Flemish bond pattern — not the standard American one — for a brick walkway. And he points out that Winston Churchill laid bricks as a hobby. He lists his company, Masonry Art, of Kansas City, Mo., on a 5-month-old Web site operated by a Dallas-based nonprofit, ProAmerica Company. He took a pledge not to knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Link specializes in projects for homes like the gray mansion he's working on west of Lawrence, and he worries about being undercut by companies hiring illegal immigrants. He also said the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks jarred him into thinking about issues such as national security and immigration. His decision earlier this year made him part of ProAmerica's fledgling effort to encourage firms not to hire illegal immigrants and help consumers patronize businesses that don't. The thinking is that illegal wonts come to the United States if they can't find jobs. "They're running from Mexico. If they had a job over there, they wouldn't want to leave," he said. "They work hard. They want money for their families. They can't get it in Mexico." ProAmerica's effort began while Congress struggled with illegal immigration. Comprehensive legislation failed in June, and last week, a measure designed to give some children of illegal immigrants a path to legal status stalled in the Senate, probably dooming further work this year. Also this year, some Kansas legislators sought stiffer penalties for businesses hiring illegal immigrants. Their bill stalled, and the only immigration-related measure to pass designated English as the state's official language. A Gallup poll in June said about a third of the nearly 2,400 Americans surveyed thought illegal immigrants Last year, the Pew Hispanic Center estimated that between 11 million and 12 million illegal immigrants were living in the United States, with between 40,000 and 70,000 in Kansas. "They're running from Mexico. If they had a job over there, they wouldn't want to leave." were hurting their or their families' job opportunities. Nearly half said immigration should be decreased. "When was the last time you saw a teenager mowing a lawn?" he said during an interview. "Someone is going to have to be there, picking the fruits and vegetables." But Michael Barrera, chief executive of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said that Americans had expressed frustration with immigration throughout history and that Latinos were "the flavor of the decade." He said illegal immigrants filled jobs requiring manual labor that Americans didn't fill. Stepping into the ongoing debate was David Marlett, a Dallas attorney, accountant and political consultant. He formed ProAmerica in June and launched its Web site. Marlett said ProAmerica arose Businesses can list themselves as not hiring illegal immigrants and receive help in verifying workers' status as legal. Marlett said Wednesday that ProAmerica also plans a Webbased catalog of Christmas gifts offered by participating companies. JOSH LINK Owner of Masonry Art "I think you ought to sav. from a personal experience. Around Christmas 2006, his wife wanted several rooms in their home painted. Marlett said he loathes painting and tried to hire someone. A ProAmerica chapter formed in the Kansas City area in September, and about 600 businesses now are listed on the Web site. Besides Link's business, they include an aircraft parts distributor in Dallas, an advertising firm in Panama City, Fla., and a sandwich shop in Geneva, Neb. 'Are you sure all your employees are legal? If you care, you'll ask; that's my opinion', he said. "I ended up painting those rooms. I made about 10 phone calls and wasn't happy with any of the answers." This week, as California battled wildfires, his group issued a statement saying the state should verify the status of workers hired to clean up debris and rebuild businesses. Still, he said, many responses to illegal immigration should come from outside government: "How about we as a collective society say, 'OK, now wait a minute. We have laws. We need to follow them.'

Kansas enters Saturday's game against Nebraska as a 17-point favorite. Forget that the Jayhawks have beaten the Cornhuskens only once in 38 years. And overlook that in that span, Nebraska has played in 37 bowl games opposed to eight for Kansas. "It's been a century of inconsistency here, and we are trying to get that righted," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "As far as Nebraska, we have great respect for the program. But if you look at the last four games against Nebraska, they've been hard-fought; they've been toe-to-toe." Kansas has competed better with history Overall: Nebraska leads with an 88-22-3 record In Lawrence: Nebraska leads with a 46-7-1 record. Past 10 years: Nebraska leads with a 9-1 record biggest KU win: 31-0 in 1960 biggest NU win: 70-0 in 1986 Nebraska of late. It took overtime in Lincoln, Neb. last year for the Cornhuskers to beat the Jayhawks. Two years ago, Kansas embarrassed Nebraska in Lawrence with a 25-point victory. But there's a role reversal in effect for Saturday's contest at Memorial Stadium. For the first time since 1974, Kansas (8-0) has a better record than Nebraska (4-5) coming into the game. What happened in the 1974 showdown when Kansas (4-1) traveled to play Nebraska (3-2)? The Cornhuskers thrashed the Jayhawks 56-0. But Kansas players don't need history to convince them to take Nebraska seriously. "You can't sleep on Nebraska," junior cornerback Kendrick Harper said. "They are a very good football team. We are just going to practice well and hopefully be ready on Saturday." These Cornhuskers clearly aren't the same caliber as past Cornhusker teams. They have lost four games in a row, which hasn't happened at Nebraska in 46 years. The memories of players like Tomma Frazier, Lawrence Phillips and Ahlman Green, who helped lead Nebraska to three national championships in the 1990s, seem more distant than ever. Even last year's quarterback, Zac Taylor, who won Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors and led Nebraska to a Big 12 North title, looks legendary compared with this year's team. Despite the team's record, Nebraska coach Bill Callahan said that he had seen signs of life. "I just want our kids to give their very best; I believe they are striving to do that. That's what I'm encouraged about as a coach," Callahan said. "I see that on the field, and you see it on film and their attitude. I know they'll be encouraged to go on the road and upset Kansas this week." Adding to an already disastrous season, this week was the announcement that Cornhusker senior quarterback Sam Keller will miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. To beat Kansas, Nebraska will have to do it behind inexperienced junior quarterback Joe Ganz. To beat Nebraska, Kansas will have to escape its unsuccessful history in the series. FOOTBALL Edited by Chris Beattie Kansas to face new starter 96 KELLER BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Nebraska's Sam Keller lies on the field after being injured in the fourth quarter at Texas. Keller will miss the rest of the season, causing another bump in Nebraska's rocky season. When the Kansas coaching staff sits down to study Nebraska's personnel and schemes in preparation for Saturday's game, they won't have much film to choose from. The Cornhusker team that shows up at Memorial Stadium this weekend will probably bear little resemblance to last year's — or even last month's — Nebraska souid. ASSOCIATED PRESS Nebraska has endured an unsteady season heavy on turmoil and light on success. The Cornhuskers are 1-4 in Big 12 Conference play (4-5 overall) and could need victories in their final three games to earn a ball berth. The school dismissed Athletics Director Steve Pederson on Oct. 15, and rumors about the job security of coach Bill Callahan have been swirling around the campus. In addition to those large-scale adjustments, Nebraska has made a major on-field change. Sam Keller. Nebraska's starting quarterback for the first nine games of the season, is sidelined for the season after suffering a shoulder injury against Texas last week. The Cornhuskers will call on Joe Ganz, a junior who has not started a game since high school. "What a great way to have your first start, against Kansas and the great defense they have, on the road, against the number eighth team in the country," Ganz said. "It's going to be a great atmosphere and I like playing road games so it's going to be kind of fun." Ganz is in his fourth year in the Nebraska program, but he is anything but a seasoned veteran. He has thrown just 17 passes in his collegiate career, completing 10 for 158 yards and four touchdowns. Ganz, a 6-foot-1, 200 pound, Illinois native, played in five games last season and competed against Keller for the start job in the preseason. offensive game plan. Though he is a standard drop-back passer, Ganz is considered a more mobile quarterback than Keller. As a senior at Amos Alonzo Stagg High School, he rushed for 600 yards and 11 touchdowns. Though he can make plays with his legs, Callahan said he was not planning on significantly altering his "There're not going to be much variation from the system, aside from what we do," Callahan said. "We're going to add some things, but I don't think that's going to shock or surprise them." Ganz's relative inexperience could end up helping Nebraska solve the tough Kansas defense. With only six games and 17 passes worth of film to study on Ganz, the Jayhawks will not have the luxury of dissecting each and every tendency of the Cornhuskers new signal-caller. "There's not much to evaluate, so you prepare for their schemes and what you know about them," Mangino said. "You try to anticipate what his strengths might be and how they might try to feature them. But we don't know and it's hard to speculate." So far this season, Kansas has gameplanned well enough to handle all sorts of quarterbacks. The Jayhawks are ranked fifth in the nation in pass efficiency defense and second in the nation in scoring defense.

Kansas already defeated Nebraska for the first time in nearly four decades in 2005 and is also already bowl-eligible. So what's at stake now? Don't think it ludicrous of me to predict that the goalposts will go down anyway this Saturday. Remember 2005? The team went 7-5. In college football, goalposts were torn down a total of seven times that year. Of those seven times, three were after victories at Memorial Stadium by Kansas' fans — Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State. Maybe tearing down the goalposts in 2005 after a 40-15 victory against Nebraska was somewhat under- standable, but the other two instances were not. Tearing down the goalposts three times in one season was embarrassing for the University and for the football team. It is great to have school spirit and to cheer the team on, but three times? Is that not excessive? Once again in 2006, fans tore down the goalpost after a victory over Kansas State, which was 7-4 at the time. It was Kansas' second consecutive home victory against Kansas State and certainly not a reason for tearing down the goalposts. During a press conference the following Tuesday, Kansas coach Mark Mangino was asked about the incident. Mangino said,"I wrote a letter at the beginning of the season to the school newspaper asking (students) not to do that and I still do not want them to do that." Plain and simple. folks. The coach wrote The University Daily Kansan asking students not to tear down the goal, posts and a few did not get the memo. Mangino also said, "I don't like it for two reasons: one, there is a safety reason and number two, we need to have the same expectations that our players have. But our student body has been great and what happened is not necessarily an indictment against our whole student body." This season, students have not torn down the goalposts yet, even after the 58-10 victory against Baylor, which established bowl-eligibility. But this could be because of the fallout in the student section after half time this season. SEE WHEELER ON PAGE 7B Power forward twins to join layhawks next season Marcus and Markieff Morris, twin power forwards from Philadelphia, have committed to play basketball at Kansas, according to Javahawklant.com. "Kansas was my dream school growth up," Marcus told Jayhawkslant.com. "The winning tradition is just great. I just remember seeing all of the fans when I would watch Kansas games on television. I just want to help bring a championship to Kansas. Coach Self was very excited when we told him about our decision." Marcus is Rival's No. 37 player in the class of 2008 and Markieff is the Rivals No. 74 player. They chose Kansas over Villanova and St. Johns. Marcus and Markieff visited Kansas for Late Night and visited Villanova last weekend. Kansas now has five commitments for the class of 2009: the Morris twins, guard Travis Releford, forward Mario Little and power Quinnrell Thomas. J.Mison Morgan, who is considering Kansas, is expected to make his decision Friday.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Team sees benefit of playing early exhibition games BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com mdent@kansan.com Cole Aldrich planned to go trick-or-treating last night. It was all about keeping the tradition. "I love trick-or-treating," he said. "I don't think I've taken a year off trick-or-treating, and I'll probably do it until I'm 30." This Halloween wasn't quite the same, though. He couldn't eat his candy Halloween night because of Kansas' exhibition game. Blame it on the early start. Aldrich, a freshman center, wanted to be prepared for his first debut today against Pittsburgh State at 7 p.m. That's right. Today. One day after Halloween, three weeks after practice started and eight days earlier than the Jayhawks' What gives? first exhibition game two years ago. This is liavhawk basketballs earliest start since 2000. Well, Kansas is playing host to The Jayhawk Classic this season, and games for the tournament start Nov. 9. The Jayhawks have to get some playing experience before the season starts, even if it means the team has less time to practice. Early starts are nothing new for college basketball. Several other teams started the season before Kansas to prepare for early season tournaments. Louisville had its first exhibition game Monday night. Memphis starts its regular season on Nov. 5. Outside of Aldrich's Halloween traditions, Kansas hasn't changed much to accommodate for the early start. The Jayhawks haven't had many long practices because Kansas coach Bill Self doesn't want to wear them out for their eight November games. But with several upperclassmen, less time to practice isn't a big deal. Senior guard Rodrick Stewart thinks the early start is a blessing. "It's definitely more urgency knowing that we play earlier this year," he said. "Guys just can't take any day off. We might walk in the gym one day and not feel like going that hard. But just knowing that the season is right around the corner, you have no choice but to take it seriously and take every day like it's your last. You have no choice but to get better." 1 SEE BASKETBALLON PAGE 7B - --- 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAIRY KANSAN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2007 sports quote of the day "If the NBA were on channel 5 and a bunch of frogs making love was on channel 4, I'd watch the frogs even if they were coming in fuzzy" Bobby Knight, Texas Tech basketball coach sports fact of the day — KU Basketball media guide.

NFL NFL John Lynch optimistic about Monday stinger ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Lynch said he felt optimistic Wednesday that the stinger he suffered Monday night was unrelated to his 2004 neck surgery — but the concerned look on his face and the worry in his voice belied that brave front. "I'm feeling all right, obviously not too well when you've got to come out of a game. But I got a little stinger and just waiting on doctors to see how we're going to proceed. But I feel better," the eight-time Pro Bowl safety said after watching the Denver Broncos' workout. Lynch, 36, struggled with neck injuries in 2003, his final season in Tampa Bay, and he had surgery to remove bone spurs in early 2004 just before joining the Broncos. He said the doctor who performed his neck operation was reviewing his latest MRI, and that he had no timetable for his return. "No, again, just waiting on all the information to come back. Took the MRI yesterday and they're waiting on the specialist out in Los Angeles who did my neck surgery to kind of check it out and see what he has to think," Lynch said. "But I think everything's good and we'll see." Lynch sustained what the team said was a pinched nerve in his neck early in Denver's 19-13 overtime loss to Green Bay on Monday night. Lynch said one of his arms went numb for a while and that he was never cleared to return to the game even though the team said that night his return was probable "Well, just you know, a stinger, you get your whole arm kind of goes numb," Lynch said. "Been there before, but hopefully this is something not related and we'll be all right." Lynch said he was worried given his history with neck surgery. The 15th year pro has 24 tackles so far. He missed one game with a pulled groin.

If the homecoming advisory board and certain student-led Facebook.com groups have their way, Saturday will feature a "Homecoming Blue Out." Jennifer Aldere, University of Kansas homecoming adviser, said she received numerous e-mails from alumni asking for a unified color. "They are excited about being 8-0 and one of the things they they are all said. "So you wouldn't it be great if we wore blue?" hate about playing Nebraska is hate all show up in red." Alderice Alderice said a factor of the "blue out" was urging fewer fans to wear Kansas' other color, crim- would allow KU fans to look more unified. "They are excited about being 8-0 and one of the things they hate about playing Nebraska is they all show up in red." Alderice, who has worked on homecoming activities for six years, could not recall a homecoming game that was sold out. The Kansas-Nebraska game was announced a sellout more than JENNIFER ALDERICE Homecoming adviser son, which is similar to the Huskers' color. Alderza said wearing blue a month ago, and Alderce expects a big influx of fans to attend homecoming activities. "This year we don't have any good teams that we are playing at home," Friedman said. "This is the best game we will see at home. Plus, we are eighth in the nation. We need to support the team because they will be competing for a BCS Bowl Game." Those activities include a pancake breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. on the Stauffer-Flint Hall lawn, located between Wescoe Hall and Watson Library, and the Homecoming Parade along Jayhawk Blvd. at 9:30 a.m. The pancake breakfast costs $5 and is open to the public. Alderice did not think the "blue out" measure was too extreme, seeing as the 8-0 hyawks are 18-point favorites against the 4-5 Huskers. Bradley Friedman, Leawood sophomore, created a Facebook group on Tuesday called "BLUEOUT Nebraska," which had more than 1,000 members on Wednesday. "One, it's Homecoming, and two, it's Nebraska, so why not?" Alderice said. "Let's do it and have fun and just blue them out." schedule — Pancake Breakfast, 8 to 11 a.m., Stauffer-Flint Hall lawn — Homecoming Parade, 9:30 a.m. start time, jayhawk Boulevard — Homecoming Blue Out, wear blue to the football game Edited by Meghan Murphy --- NO HASSLE FOR YOUR TASSLE Your digital world Your parent's digital world There's no comparison.

More than 75 teams registered for the annual 3-on-3 intramural basketball homecoming tournament. The tournament was divided into three divisions: men's, women's and co-recreational. The event, which took place from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. tested the skills and endurance of players. "We've all been here since 5 oclock," Koytt Nichols, Springhill sophomore, said. "It sucks." Tournament rules were simple. The first team to score 11 points won and advanced. To maintain a timely tournament, a 12-minute limit was set for each game. Teams tied at the end of the time played overtime, and the team that scored first won. There were no referees for the tournament, so the honor rule was brought into play, with teams calling their own fouls. Every shot was contested and numerous times players could be seen sliding across the floor on their stomachs to keep the ball in play. When each game came to an end, it was obvious who watching play grew thinner. Teams that advanced stayed to watch competitors and cheer for friends. At 10 p.m., as the last players walked off the courts, the talk was not of the hard-fought battles or crushed "It's fun to play in.The level of play is pretty good. It's competitive." won or lost, Victorious teams celebrated with fist pumps and high fives, while the defeated simply left quietly. Good sportsmanship was shown by all players at the conclusion of each game with a handshake. As the evening wore on, the crowd KOYTT NICHOLS Springhill sophomore d r e a m s Instead, it was talk of things to come, such as homework that awaited students at home. Nichols, who threw his team together just hours before the first tip-off, said he enjoyed the tournament. "It's fun to play in," Nichols said. "The level of play is pretty good. It's competitive." Edited by Elizabeth Cattell 6 Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Aaron Rogers, Manhattan sophomore, powers up for two during a 3-on-3 coed game in the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. The tournament was held on Tuesday night as part of this week's homemaking activities. Chi Omega 1 defeats Chi Omega 2 in 3-on-3 finals The women of Chi Omega Lambda dominated the homecom ing 3-on-3 basketball tournament. Mallory Hammersmith, Olathe senior, said she was estatic about winning and that this was Chi Omega's fourth year in a row. "We're competitive in all events" Anne LeRoy, Lewood sophomore, said. "It's a great way to get the girls involved." With three consecutive championships coming in, this year's came as no surprise. Chi Omega's odds of winning seemed likely, but not just because the women had previous wins Homecoming 3-on-3 Intramural Basketball results DIVISION: MEN'S Champions: Phil Delt 2 team members: Koytt Nichols - sophomore Cameron Heck - sophomore Philip Ozkiewlicz - fresh- man Francese fresh- 2nd: DU 3 3rd: SAE Old Ball Steven Fee - freshman DIVISION: WOMEN'S NL champions make announcements Rockies pick up Aaron Cook,bring back coaching staff Champions: Chi Omega 1 Team members: Jennifer Ruck - sophomore Mallory Hammersmith - senior Laura Frizzell - junior Erica Lathrop - junior Amanda Hammersmith - fresh- man 2nd: Chi Omega 3 3rd: Tri Delta 2 CO-RECREATIONAL Champions: Showtime (non-greek) Team members: Angelo Phillips - junior Stephanie Gerber - senior Ricky Thrash - junior ASSOCIATED PRESS — Kathryn Kisthardt under their belts.

"It shows we care about KU and that things are important to us outside of our house,"LeRoy said. 2nd: SAE/Tri-Delt 3rd: DU/Chi 01 MLB DENVER — The NL champion Colorado Rockies picked up pitcher Aaron Cook's $4.5 million option Wednesday and declined their $3.75 million option on reliever LaTroy Hawkins. The Rockies also announced they will bring back manager Clint Hurdle's entire coaching staff next season. Cook started Game 4 of the World Series against the Red Sox and pitched valiantly, allowing three runs and six hits in six-plus innings. Still, he took the loss as Boston completed a sweep with a 4-3 victory. It was Cook's first major league outing since Aug. 10 because of a strained muscle in his side. That injury probably cost Cook, $500,000. If he pitched 21 1-3 more innings this season his 2008 option would become guaranteed at $5 million. Cook, the team's opening-day starter, finished 8-7 with a 4.12 ERA in 25 starts covering 166 innings. The right-hander's career was sidelettered a few years ago because of life-threatening blood clots in his lungs. THE BATTLE FOR THE HOOP Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Hawkins joined the Rockies before the season and went 2-5 with a 3.42 ERA in 62 appearances. The right-hander gets a $250,000 buyout. His salary this year was $3.25 million. Mallory Mahoney, Russell freshman, jump stops in front of Mandy Shawne, Smith junior, during Tuesday night's Homecoming 3-on-3 basketball tournament.

More than 75 teams registered for the annual 3-on-3 intramural basketball homecoming tournament. The tournament was divided into three divisions: men's, women's and co-recreational. The event, which took place from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. tested the skills and endurance of players. "We've all been here since 5 oclock," Koytt Nichols, Springhill sophomore, said. "It stucks." Tournament rules were simple. The first team to score 11 points won and advanced. To maintain a timely tournament, a 12-minute limit was set for each game. Teams tied at the end of the time played overtime, and the team that scored first won. There were no referees for the tournament, so the honor rule was brought into play, with teams calling their own fouls. Every shot was contested and numerous times players could be seen sliding across the floor on their stomachs to keep the ball in play. When each game came to an end, it was obvious who watching play grew thinner. Teams that advanced stayed to watch competitors and cheer for friends. At 10 p.m., as the last players walked off the courts, the talk was not of the hard-fought battles or crushed "It's fun to play in. The level of play is pretty good. It's competitive." won or lost. Victorious teams celebrated with fist pumps and high fives, while the defeated simply left quietly. Good sportsmanship was shown by all players at the conclusion of each game with a handshake. KOYTT NICHOLS Springhill sophomore d r e a m s . Instead, it was talk of things to come, such as homework that awaited students at home. Nichols, who threw his team together just hours before the first tip-off, said he enjoyed the As the evening wore on, the crowd tournament. "It's fun to play in," Nichols said. "The level of play is pretty good. It's competitive." — Edited by Elizabeth Cattell LAKERS Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Aaron Rogers, Manhattan sophomore, powers up for two during a 3-on-3 coed game in the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. The tournament was held on Tuesday night as part of this week's homecoming activities. Chi Omega 1 defeats Chi Omega 2 in 3-on-3 finals The women of Chi Omega Lambda dominated the homecoming 3-on-3 basketball tournament. Mallory Hammersmith, Olathe senior, said she was estatic about winning and that this was Chi Omega's fourth year in a row. "We're competitive in all events," Anne LeRoy, Leawood sophomore, said. "It's a great way to get the girls involved." With three consecutive championships coming in, this year's came as no surprise. Chi Omega's odds of winning seemed likely, but not just because the women had previous wins DIVISION: MEN'S Champions: Phi Delt 2 Team members: Koytt Nichols - sophomore Cameron Heck - sophomore Philip Ozkiewicz - freshman Steven Fee - freshman 2nd: DU 3 3rd: SAE Old Ball DIVISION: WOMEN'S Champions: Chi Omega 1 Team members: Jennifer Ruck - sophomore Mallory Hammersmith - senior Laura Frizzell - junior Erica Lathrop - junior Amanda Hammersmith - freshman 2nd: Chi Omega 3 3rd: Tri Delta 2 CO-RECREATIONAL Champions: Showtime (non-greek) Team members: Angelo Phillips - junior Stephanie Gerber - senior Ricky Thrash - junior NL champions make announcements Rockies pick up Aaron Cook, bring back coaching staff "It shows we care about KU and that things are important to us outside of our house,"LeRoy said. under their belts. The sorority had three teams involved in the tournament, with Chi Omega 1 defeating Chi Omega 3 in the finals. 2nd: SAE/Tri-Delt 3rd: DU/Chi 01 — Kathryn Kisthardt ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB DENVER — The NL champion Colorado Rockies picked up pitcher Aaron Cook's $4.5 million option Wednesday and declined their $3.75 million option on reliever LaTroy Hawkins. The Rockies also announced they will bring back manager Clint Hurdle's entire coaching staff next season. Cook started Game 4 of the World Series against the Red Sox and pitched valiantly, allowing three runs and six hits in six-plus innings. Still, he took the loss as Boston completed a sweep with a 4-3 victory. It was Cook's first major league outing since Aug. 10 because of a strained muscle in his side. That injury probably cost Cook $500,100. If he pitched 21 1-3 more innings this season his 2008 option would become guaranteed at $5 million. Cook, the team's opening-day starter, finished 8-7 with a 4.12 ERA in 25 starts covering 166 innings. The right-hander's career was sidelet tracked a few years ago because of life-threatening blood clots in his lungs. Hawkins joined the Rockies before the season and went 2-5 with a 3.42 ERA in 62 appearances. The right-hander gets a $250,000 buyout. His salary this year was $3.25 million.

"When most people think of sailing, they imagine wine, crackers and cheese on a big, slow boat," Scott Dalin, Wichita senior, said. Dalin has spent the past four years on the KU sailing club doing just the opposite. He described racing as physically and mentally fast paced. Eight racers on the 25-member coed KU sailing club compete, while the remainder of the them sail recreationally. That does not stop the racing members from being highly competitive around the nation. Last year, the team placed fourth in districts and were just several points away from qualifying for the national tournament. This spring, the team travels to Oklahoma, Texas, Wisconsin and Chicago. Danielle Giampoli, Chicago junior, said the yearly trip to her hometown was always especially memorable. She said that her favorite sailing memory was when the team raced in Chicago last Thanksgiving because her family and friends were able to see her race. KU sailing club At every regatta, there are various types of competitions. The races vary by size of boat and how many people are in the boat at one time. Dalin competes in several events, including the single-handed Olympic Laser class. This competition has been a part of the summer Olympics since 1996 and only requires one person in the boat at a time. Dalin said that he drew inspiration from this type of racing because the boats were built identical to one another, leaving the skill of the sailor as the only variable that differed from boat to boat. The competition is often challenging for Alli Jones, Bloomington, Minn., junior Andy Spalding, St. Louis, Mo. junior Danielle Giampoll, Chicago junior Jill Dryden, Houston junior Evan Charles, Wichita senior Scott Dalin,Wichita senior Andrew Conyers, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore KU because the team primarily faces southern schools that sail a longer season. But the team still manages to find a way into the top spots of its district each year. Aside from the regattas, KU sailing club is a unique sport that creates an enjoyable venue for people of all ages and experience levels. Dalin and Giampoli sailed for the larger part of their lives, while other members experienced their first sailing lesson on Clinton Lake with the team. "I started racing when I was five and probably won't stop until I can't move anymore." Alli Jones, Bloomington, Minn., junior, said. The team does not hold tryouts and welcomes anyone who is interested in competing in sailing or just having a good time and meeting new people. Though the sailors may not down a bottle of wine on the sailboat, the team always remembers to have fun while remaining focused on competition.

Baylor defeated Kansas in one of its best offensive efforts in history, 3-1 (30-19, 20-30, 20-34, 20-32), dropping Kansas to 10-14 over 3-11 in the Big 12 Conference. The disappointment continued for the Kansas volleyball team against Baylor Wednesday night. The losses are starting to pile up. Laurisa Lopez/Baylor Lariat Staff Baylor defeated Kansas 3-1 (30-19, 20-30, 30-24, 30-22) Wednesday night in Waco, Texas, dropping Kansas to 10-14 and 3-11 in the Big 12 Conference. The Jayhawks have lost six in a row and nine of their past 10 games, and haven't since an Oct. 10 home match against Colorado. "It just an inability to sustain a level for an hour and a half that you need to be successful," coach Ray Bechard said. "The key is to play better longer, and our players see that and it's frustrating." Kansas played one of its better offensive games of the season. Freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser had 16 kills and a .538 hitting percentage, while senior right side/setter Emily Brown finished with her third consecutive triple double. Brown finished with 13 kills, 25 assists and 12 digs. Senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart added 12 kills and five blocks, while sophomore setter Katie Martinicich had 23 assists and 13 digs.

But despite Kansas' offensive success, the Jayhawks couldn't stop the Baylor onslaught. The Bears produced one of the best offensive efforts in school history. Baylor finished with 72 kills and a .374 hitting percentage, the third best fourgame hitting percentage in Baylor volleyball history. "In games three and four we just did nothing to slow them down," Bechard said. "That's a sign of youth and lack of experience." Middle blocker Ashley Breyfogle and outside hitter Ashlie Christenson led Baylor with 18 kills each during Baylor's fifth straight victory. Setter Taylor Barnes had eight kills, 56 assists and eight digs. Baylor improved to 14-10 and 6-7 in the big 12. "This team is getting better every time they play." Baylor coach Jim Barnes said in a postgame radio interview. Kansas is struggling to stay afloat. That wasn't the case when these two teams met on Oct. 17. Kansas was 10-9 and 3-6 in the Big 12 before that game, while Baylor was 9-10 and 1-7 in the Big 12. Two weeks later, Kansas hasn't won another game and Baylor hasn't lost. "They're more comfortable at home obviously," Bechard said. "They kept the pressure on us. Both teams came in knowing what the other was going to do, and they executed their plan better than we did."

You might think that this season, the fans would have some faith in the football team and would not think a victory against Nebraska this weekend would warrant tearing down the goalposts. But considering students tore down the goalposts after consecutive home victories against Kansas State, it is quite possible the same could happen this weekend. This season Kansas is ranked No. 8 in the BCS standings and is undefeated. Though it is an exciting time for Kansas football, students need to realize the Jayhawks are 17-point favorites in this weekend's game. Nebraska, which was ranked No. 19 in the preseason, is now 4-5 (1-4 in Big 12) and is possibly headed toward its worst season since 1961 when the team went 3-6-1. A victory this weekend would give Kansas its first 9-0 start since 1909. While this could be monumental for the program, the team would still have three games remaining in the regular season. Students should realize a victory against a 4-5 team whose star quarterback, senior Sam Keller, is injured and out for the season, in is no way a reason to tear down the goalposts. - Edited by Rachel Bock past incidents Date Event Sept. 27, 2003 Kansas defeated No. 23 Missouri 35-14 in the first key win of the Mark Mangino era.

Kobe Bryant is so self-absorbed he can't figure out why Jerry Buss doesn't just give him the Los Angeles Lakers and let him pick his own teammates. One of the perks, of course, be a superstar is that you're able to get away with just about anything. As long as you produce, fans will still love you. Meanwhile, down in Texas, Time Duncan, who defines what a superstar, should really be quietly negotiated a contract extension, picked up his fourth ring, and just as quietly went about the business of playing basketball for the San Antonio Spurs. The baseball season ended with an arrogant superstar taking some of the fun out of the World Series. Two days later, the basketball season began with an arrogant superstar telling everyone he's no longer having any fun. Bryant, meanwhile, has already spoiled what figures to be an awfully long season for Jack Nicholson & Co. in Los Angeles. His interaction with his team-mates on opening night seemed stilted and forced, which isn't surprising since he's basically told them they're not good enough to play with him. a World Series winner, but you can be sure fans in Los Angeles, Queens or San Francisco would be more than happy to have the overpaid star in their uniform. A-Rod picked the World Series to announce his breakup with the Yankees because it's not only all about the Benjamins, but all about him. So while he's never played in a World Series, he can one day tell his grandchildren that he was once the talk of one. So when the home fans booed him opening night at Staples Center, Bryant seemed a bit taken aback by the reception. But it wasn't long before those same fans were cheering their star when he almost led the Lakers back from a 12-point deficit in the final few minutes against the Houston Rockets. And don't let the "Don't Sign A-Rod" chants from Red Sox fans fool you. They already have "Mike has been a valuable member of the Padres over the last two seasons who has been respected for his contributions on the field, his stature in the clubhouse and his Padres' Cameron tests positive, suspended MLB SAN DIEGO — Mike Cameron, the Padres' Gold Glove center fielder, was suspended for the first 25 games of next season on Wednesday after testing positive a second time for a banned stimulant. Players who initially test positive for a stimulant receive counseling. Suspensions begin only with a second positive test. "After all of the analysis and testing, I can only conclude that a nutritional supplement I was taking was tainted," he said. "Unfortunately, the actual supplement is gone, and therefore cannot be tested. Without the actual supplement in hand, the rules are clear, and I must accept the suspension." "The one thing I wanted to make sure was explained is, no steroids," Cameron told AM 1090, the Padres' flagship radio station. "I never took nothing like that before in my life. That would be 50 games, and that would affect me a whole lot more." All three are true superstars. All three are dominant in what they do. Cameron issued a statement through his agent, saying doctors for the players' association helped him narrow down what triggered the positive test. ASSOCIATED PRESS Cameron said he believed he took a tainted supplement. San Diego Padres' Mike Cameron is con- tended to get ready for a big game. But only one is a real winner. BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) The freshmen have had to put in extra time after practice to get familiar with the Jayhawk system and keep up with the veterans. Aldrich said he looked at a handbook with all the plays in it every night after he finished doing his homework. If Aldrich and Reed learn the system soon, they could still have trouble finding minutes. Kansas returns everyone from last season's Elite Eight team except Julian Wright.

Cameroon was suspended for the first 25 games of the 2008 season on Wednesday after testing positive a second time for a banned stimulant. The seniors and juniors have been practicing for years. They know how to play the Jayhawk system and play with each other, but the freshmen are at a slight disadvantage. College has been a blur for Aldrich and freshman guard Tyrel Reed. "it's come real fast," Reed said. "I feel like I just moved into the Towers the other day." The season may be starting early, but none of the players are complaining. They're excited, even Aldrich. He doesn't mind waiting a little longer to eat his candy. involvement in the San Diego community," Padres CEO Sandy Alderson said in a statement. "Accordingly, the Padres are extremely disappointed that Mike has tested positive for a stimulant banned by MLB's drug policy." Cameron is best-known for hitting four home runs in a game in 2002 and for a frightening collision in Petco Park three seasons later. "It's going to be fun," Aldrich said.

And one of them said, 'Yeah, those are boos!' I was surprised." This could be a messy season in the NBA. There is so much unfinished business left that commissioner David Stern should have been required to write an essay, "Things I Didn't Do Over the Summer," before the league opened its doors. There's the lingering aroma of disgreased referee Tim Donaghy, the borderline competence of some officials he left behind, competitive imbalance, the growing West vs. East divide — and that's just the opening paragraph. He took the lion's share of the shots, scored nearly half the points and almost stole the game at the end. A healthy chorus of catcalls greeted his introduction Tuesday night in Los Angeles, and it turns out the crowd was only warming up. They howled again the first time Bryant touched the ball and coach Phil Jackson, who should have seen this coming, didn't. ASSOCIATED PRESS About the only thing different between the way the Lakers ended last season and began this one is that most of the people booing Kobe Bryant happened to be sitting in Staples Center. At least until Kobe splits. But nowhere is it going to be messier than in Los Angeles. One game doesn't make a season, but this one was close. Bryant was his brilliant, maddening self. And the other team — in this case, Houston — was better. The Rockets, coincidentally, also happen to be one of (insert your own number here) teams rumored to be a possible destination for Bryant.

Ever since Shaquille O'Neal lit out of L.A. with the three rings he and Kobe won together, the Lakers haven't had a supporting cast even that good. It's hard to say whom that has frustrated more. www.teachforamerica.org There hasn't been enough talent in Los Angeles to swap for any of the sidekicks that have topped Bryant's wish lists the last few seasons: Kevin Garnett, Jermaine O'Neal and Jason Kidd. To the growing legion of Kobe-haters, it's a perfect standoff; there's no reward more just than losing for someone who's desperate to win — but only on his terms. There might be something noble about Bryant's stubbornness, if only he suffered his fate a little more nobly. More typical, though, is what Bryant did this summer, telling one radio interviewer that he wanted to be traded, then going on a second show later the same day and rescinding his request. "At any time, I think you have to do that with anybody," Buss said. "It's just part of the game, to listen to somebody who has a dissatisfied player that you think is going to fit. You can't keep too many loyalties. You've got to look at it as a business. (Bryant) looks at it the same way I look at it." 1 in 10 low-income students will graduate from college. CHANGE THIS. Instead of getting mad — or mader, since the soap opera has been going on for some time — Lakers owner Jerry Buss decided to get even. He told an interviewer barely three weeks ago that the Lakers were listening to trade offers for Bryant. All academics majors. Full Salary and Benefits TEACHFORAMERICA www.teachforamerica.org Application Deadline: November 2, 2007 Question Buss' timing if you want, since optimism runs so high at the start of every season that few teams are willing to blow up their roster. But questioning his motives is another matter. Bryant might be the best player in the league. But if Buss is finally serious about unloading him, then Bryant has probably become its biggest headache as well. Based on the scant evidence so far, Jackson's concerns that Bryant would be too distracted by the trade talk to perform at his best turned out to be unfounded. The funny thing, though, is that the more Bryant succeeds, the more he entices general managers around the league to take a shot at prying him away and the less likely the Lakers are to move him. MLB Cardinals interim GM made official ST. LOUIS — John Mozeliak's month-long stint as St. Louis Cardinals interim general manager was a strong selling point that he could be their long-term solution. Mozelak had been the team's assistant GM for five years before Walt Jocketty was dismissed Oct. 3. During the search process, he moved swiftly to retain three pitchers, then got Jocketty's job and a three-year contract on Wednesday. "I can tell you I was extremely impressed with what he got done," team president Mark Lamping said. "We didn't miss a step — we took a step forward." Mozelki has been with the organization for more than a dozen years. His hiring, along with the two-year contract manager Tony La Russa signed nine days earlier, signifies a belief last year's 78-84 record was a misstep rather than a downward trend for the 2006 World Series champions. ASSOCIATED PRESS High on his agenda now is a decision whether to pursue shortstop David Eckstein, who has filed for free agency. The Cardinals also are in the market for another starting pitcher and an outfield bat. "I'd say he's high-energy, proactive and he wants to accomplish things," chairman Bill DeWitt said. "Mo has been instrumental in our success this decade. He brings a great deal of strength to all areas of our operation." But Mozelkiak said he won't be a Jocketty clone. Mozelkiak might be more impulsive than his predecessor, and unlike Jocketty, he doesn't mind including other organizational points of view in the decision-making process. The Cardinals interviewed three other assistant general managers: Chris Antonetti of the Indians, Peter Woodfork of the Diamondbacks and Rick Hahn of the Rockies. Also interviewed was Jon Weil, manager of minor leagues for the Rockies. "I do think he and I are very different people, and hopefully in the next few years you can see why" As interim GM, Mozelik picked up an $8 million option on closer Jason Isringhausen, resigned starter Joel Pineiro to a two-year, $13 million deal, and resigned reliever Russ Springer to a one-year, $3 million deal.

While Colletti insisted they had not agreed on a contract, he indicated the former New York Yankees manager was the leading candidate to replace Grady Little, who resigned on Tuesday. Having said that, Colletti was quick to point out that other candidates were also being considered. "We've had some conversations with him very recently," Colletti said. "Certainly as you look at his resume and what he's done and the market he's done it in, you've certainly got to start there." "We're talking about a number of people," Colletti said. "We're crossing off names. It may be a very short list." Colletti said he was aware of baseball's directive regarding minorities being interviewed for open managerial jobs, but wouldn't say whether the Dodgers would honor the request. "We're taking it into consideration. We'll see how things go," he said. "I'd rather look at what we've done. What we've done speaks well. I think it's pretty indicative of a thorough thought process." By any reasonable gauge, Torre's name is at the top of the Dodgers' list. However, when asked whether the parties discussed money and if they were close to a deal, Colletti retreated. declined comment Wednesday. Soon after Little resigned Tuesday, published reports said Torre and the Dodgers already reached a deal, some claiming he agreed in principle to a three-year contract worth $14.5 million. "We have interest," he said. "It may be mutual, that's really a question for the other side. "I've watched stuff in the last 72 hours that I can't believe I'm watching" Colletti said. "I can tell you we "I don't categorize anything "I've watched stuff in the last 72 hours that I can't believe I'm watching. I can tell you we do not have an agreement."

NED COLLETTI Los Angeles Dodgers GM Still, it would be a surprise at this stage if Torre didn't follow in the footsteps of Hall of Famers Walter Alston and Tom Lasorda in what would likely be the final chapter of his own Hall of Fame career. Colletti acknowledged the buzz surrounding Torre might cause other potential candidates to decline to be interviewed. "That's certainly a factor," Colletti said. "I believe it will play a role." NY The 67-year-old Torre, who managed the Yankees to four World Series titles and the 12 playoff appearances in 12 seasons, completed a $19.2 million, three-year contract this year. He ranks eighth on baseball's career list with 2,067 victories and has won a record 76 postseason games. Colletti said he sensed Little was leaning toward stepping down, so he began discussing the job recently with potential replacements. One of those candidates, the GM acknowledged, was Joe Girardi, hired by the Yankees as Torre's successor earlier Tuesday. The Dodgers entered this season as the clear-cut favorite to win the NL West. They had the league's best record in mid-July, but lost 11 of their last 14 games to fade out of contention, finishing at 82-80. New York Yankees' picked experience over popularity Monday. The Yankees offered the manager's job, left vacant by Joe Torre, left, to Joe Girardi, right, at the risk of watching Don Mattingly walk away from the franchise. Torre, who managed the Yankees to four World Series titles and 12 playoff appearances in 12 seasons, completed a three-year contract this year. Once one of baseball's glamour franchises, the Dodgers struggled in recent years, failing to win a single playoff series since winning the 1988 World Series. In fact, they've won only one playoff game since winning their sixth Series championship. Since Lasorda stepped down during the 1996 season, the Dodgers are 1-9 in postseason action. The lone victory came three years ago, when they lost to St. Louis 3-1 in an NL division series. The Dodgers won the NL. wild card in 2006, Little's first year as their manager, but were swept by the New York Mets in the first round of the playoffs. Torre and his former bench coach, Don Mattingly, have discussed the possibility of joining the Dodgers together, according to a person with knowledge of those talks. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the manager's position in Los Angeles was vacant. >> NFL Favre's experience leads young team BY COLIN FLY ASSOCIATED PRESS GREEN BAY, Wis. — Brett Favre said he's relying on his experience in his 17th season to lift the Packers. Now he's on the brink of leading his young teammates to heights even he never accomplished. Green Bay has a five-game road winning streak for the first time in nine years. The last time Green Bay won six in a row on the road was between 1966 and 1967, when Vince Lombard's Packers won the first two Super Bowls. Favre, who has the most wins in NFL history as a starting quarterback, said Wednesday he's offsetting some of Green Bay's youthful exuberance while off to a 6-1 start. "Where I need to be the difference maker is with my experience and knowledge of the game," Favre said. "I think for the most part I've done that." It's obvious that the Packers under second-year coach Mike McCarthy have figured out ways to win on the road. Besides winning 10 of their last 11 overall, the Packers are 8-3 away from Lamebeau Field since McCarthy took over. "I know as you get older, age, you're fighting that, but I still feel like I can make all the plays." Favre said. SpicyRed Wine Sauce!!

He missed part of the Let's be honest. Nothing. This is an exhibition game, and the earliest one at that. The Jayhawks have been practicing for only three weeks; there's an entire season left to be played. Kansas will probably look a little rusty, and it won't matter. The real season doesn't start until Arizona comes to town in late November. WHOTOWATCH because of a stress fracture but has made up for lost time. In last year's first exhibition game, Arthur scored M. DAVID HARRIS Arthur 21 points. Expect a similar performance. QUESTION MARK Will the Jayhawks top 100 points? HEARYE. HEARYE Much of the preseason talk has centered around a high-powered offense that is at its best when the team runs. The last time Kansas scored 100 points? Nov. 23 against Chaminade in the Maui Invitational. The Jayhawks did score 99 points against Washburn in their first exhibition game last year. "Like I said last year after the UCLA game, we're going to be a great team, and I really mean that. We're going to be a great team this year. We're going to have our ups and downs. We're going to hit a wall somewhere during the season and we're going to bust through that wall and make something great happen this year."

The first game of the season is always interesting, and this year has more story lines than the last few years. Who will step up for Brandon Rush? Can Sherron Collins and Darrrell Arthur make the jump from good freshmen to two of the best players in the conference? How are freshmen Tyrel Reed, Cole Aldrich and Conner Teahan going to perform? Will Bill Self finally lead a team to a Final Four? Not all of these questions will be answered tonight, but this is at least a start. Basketball fans have waited for this night for almost eight months, and it's finally here. Kansas doesn't have to prove anything tonight. This is a game that fans can watch and enjoy without worrying about their team losing, a game players can use to gain experience and work out the jitters and a game coaches can use to try new things. Basketball is back, and that's all that matters. Taylor stared 17 games last season, averaged 10.1 points per game, and is one of Pittburg State's biggest three-point threats. Expect him to start bombing away from beyond the arc if the Gorillas fall too far behind.

This is an exhibition game. Nothing counts. It would obviously be a historic upset if Pittsburg State defeated Kansas, but that's not going to happen. The Gorillas could keep the game close for the first few minutes, but if the Jayhawks have a terrible game, they will still win by double digits. Kansas just has too much talent. Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson and Sherron Collins are three of the best defensive guards in the country. They'll prevent Pittsburgh State's guards from penetrating. And if Carlos Taylor and Keith Windom do dish the ball off to the Gorillas' big men, it won't matter. Pittsburg State's tallest player is 6'8" and its front court will be hopeless against shot blockers like Sasha Kaun and Dararell Arthur. PSU TIP-OFF WHAT'S AT STAKE For Pittsburg State, this is more than a November exhibition game. It's an opportunity to prove that Division II players can hang tough against a top-five team, Pittsburg State players also get an opportunity to play at Allen Fieldhouse. The Gorillas are picked to finished third in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, and they'll play more important games, but tonight they will experience something they will never forget. You think they will be a little excited? WHO TO WATCH While the Pittsburgh State roster is filled with unfamiliar names, the team's coach has one of the most famous surnames in the history of basketball. Gene lba, who has been at Pittsburg State since 1966, is the Iba nephew of legendary Oklahoma State basketball coach Henry "Hank" Iba. Henry Iba amassed 652 victories in 36 seasons at Oklahoma State. Gene Iba has 450 victories in 27 seasons as a head coach. He coached at Houston Baptist University and Baylor University before finding a home at Pittsburg State. QUESTION MARK Will Kansas overlook Pittsburg State? wno are these guys? That's the question that will probably be running through the heads of Kansas players right before the opening tip. However, Pittsburg State returns four starters from a team that qualified for the Division II NCAA Tournament last season. It could be easy for Kansas to go through the motions and use its superior athleticism to cruise to a 20-point victory. But relying on its athleticism against the Pittburg States of its schedule will not help Kansas justify its preseason hype. HEARYE, HEARYE "Obviously. the exhibition "Obviously, the exhibition season is a lot to deal with. That said, it gives our players and our fans a great deal of enjoyment.

When I was planning this year's homecoming section, the definition of homecoming and the original intent of the tradition kept haunting my mind. In the past few years, the University of Kansas' homecoming activities have focused almost entirely on current students and have rarely included alumni. Because many of the University's alumni do not live within driving distance, Homecoming Day is the only time of year these Jayhawks are able to return to the University. So, it's understandable that the Homecoming Week activities are geared toward students. But even Homecoming Day, which includes the pancake breakfast, parade and football game, really isn't about alumni. Sororities, fraternities and other student groups receive points for attending the breakfast and also for making the most creative float. The points they receive go toward winning the overall homecoming competition. The football game is usually like any other football game in the season, except more people attend, and the team has traditionally played an opponent who gives us a run for oor money. With all of this in mind, I wanted to create a homecoming special section that would interest alumni. I also wanted to give students some insight on the group of people who have made our University the nationally recognized school it is today through their accomplishments and gifts to the KU Endowment Association. This is a group of people who current students will join in the future and collectively be called KU alumni. Students shouldn't be worried though. There are still a few stories about homecoming activities in the section for students. Not to mention, The Kansan has been running previews of the activities that are directed toward students every day for the past week. Whether you are reading this section as a current or former student, I hope you find a story you can connect with.

This year's homecoming theme refers to the tie that binds thousands of University of Kansas alumni across the country. Many KU alumni plan to return to Lawrence this weekend to relive their undergraduate days, to soak up the game day atmosphere or just to see old friends. They come back because of their fondness for the University and the traditions they know by heart. And some of them can't seem to stay away. For one couple, this year's homecoming commemorates more than a half century of Jayhawk pride. Rich and Judy Billings are returning to campus for their 51st consecutive homecoming. The couple graduated in 1957, and this year they are making the trek from Lakewood, Colo., near Denver, to accept the first-ever Spirit of 1912 Award, which will be presented to them by the Student Alumni Association on Nov. 3. "I just love to be a Jayhawk," Judy said. "Our feelings for KU run real deep, and they always have, and they always will." Judy said that she and her husband looked forward to renewing old friendships when they came back to Lawrence. Anne Walden, Overland Park resident and 2004 graduate, said that the Jayhawk tradition ran deep in her family as well, but being a Jayhawk went beyond the basketball team or beating K-State. "The Rock Chalk Chant or seeing the fans wave the wheat when we score a touchdown; the feeling "I just love to be a Jayhawk. Our feelings for KU run real deep, and they always have, and they always will." JUDY BILLINGS 1957 graduate you get seeing those things or hearing them. It makes you proud to be part of that tradition," Walden said. said KU traditions weren't the only thing that kept her coming back. "The Wheel — that's a big part of my tradition. A Bloody Mary at Louise's West, Wheel pizza." Aaron Brinkman, Dallas resi dent and 1998 graduate, is another alumnus who turns from Jayhawk to barfly during homecoming. He said he and his friends spent a lot of time going to tailgates, The Wheel and The Hawk after the game. When he's not bar hopping, Brinkman, like many returning alumni, looks forward to seeing friends. "I try to fit in as many meals as I can in as many different bars as I can in two days," Brinkman said. "To me, it's just the perfect opportunity to reconnect with old friends and celebrate some of the great KU traditions," he said. "And hopefully you get to see a really meaningful football game." The homecoming football game is a big draw for Rich and Judy Billings, too. "We make it a point to be there for homecoming because we know there will be a lot of our friends and contemporaries that come to homecoming and don't come to any other football games," Rich said. Homecoming is a weekend that Brad Korrrell, 1997 School of Law graduate and Austin, Texas, resident, circles as soon as he knows the date. "You make sure nothing else is scheduled that weekend," Korrell said. Although he earned his under- graduate degree from the University of Missouri, Korrell said he was a Jayhawk through and through. "My loyalty definitely lies with Kansas," he said. "Going to Kansas was the best thing that I've done as far as preparing me for my career and the experience I've had. The best friends I've developed in my life are somehow related to KU" As alumni mature, however, the desire to relive their collegiate experiences often is replaced by a sense of appreciation for their experiences at the University. of student programs for the KU Alumni Association and adviser to the Homecoming Steering Committee, said that many alumni who returned habitually came to recapture memories they made as "To me, it's just the perfect opportunity to reconnect with old friends and celebrate some of the great KU traditions. And hopefully you get to see a really meaningful football game." AARON BRINKMAN 1998 graduate When Michael Stern, Chicago resident, graduated in 2001, he looked forward to reliving his college days at homecoming. Now that he's married, he realized that he isn't a college student anymore. "First there's denial; then there's acceptance," he said. Every year when he returns to campus, Stern goes for a jog on the same route that he ran in college. He said he reflected on how he had changed since college. Jennifer Alderdice, director students. "The longer you've been away from campus, the more sentimental you get," she said. how proud he is to be a Jayhawk, but he said being on campus all year could make students complacent when it came to appreciating what the University meant. For some current students, however, homecoming is an excuse to show school pride. Greg Hill Nashville, Tenn., senior, tells his friends at home "It never strikes me as a time where there's a lot of falseness going on, but at the same time it doesn't seem that genuine all the time." At homecoming, he said, you felt the electricity on campus that was unmatched the rest of the year. Hill was not sure that he would return to Lawrence for homecoming in 2008, but would certainly consider it. "Next year I can see myself being at a job and being so far removed from university life that I'd miss it. It's the one time of the year you can channel that sense of loss (from being away from college)." For the Billings, the last half-century of homecomings are special. "We've enjoyed them," Rich said. "All 50 of em." Although the campus has changed throughout the years, KU alumni quickly find themselves at home, another reason that draws them back. "Even though more than 10 years have gone by, being on campus in Lawrence, it seems it was such a short time ago," Korrell said. Stern said he was always curious to see how campus changed, even in the few years since he's been gone. "The first thing I do is walk on campus," he said. Jayhawk Nation calls itself a family, and alumni are proud of the buckle-shoeed bird, whether considering the University's academic or athletic success. Rich Billings even boldly predicted an outcome for the homecoming football game against Nebraska. "We're going to clobber them." What do you think?

Fans have been forced to improvise a little this season, with the construction of the new Anderson Family Football Complex. The construction process closed off many popular tailgating areas, causing frustration for many students and alumni. Despite the hassle, they still loaded up their gear and found new places to keep the Kansas tailgating tradition going. Fans keep tailgating despite construction 1 Fans got resourceful with their tailgating spots because of the Campanile hill construction. Tailgateers, moved to other areas such as lot 10. Jayhawks find new places to set up their grills BY JASON BAKER As Jayhawk fans prepare to bring the grill, the food and the old pigskin to throw around on game day, one concern is on their minds this season: "Where am I going to tailgate?" This year, tailgating has been different and more difficult for fans to carry out on the areas surrounding the stadium because of the construction of the new Anderson Family Football Complex on the Campanile hill. Dave Moore, field operations manager at the University of Kansas Parking and Transportation Department, is hoping that the project will take only 14 months to complete. "We knew that it was going to be a pain, but we didn't want to drag it out for two years," he said. "We want to have enough (parking) to accommodate KU students." Moore said that the department had complaints about the construction, but there had always been complaints about the parking lots by the stadium. University alumni have had a difficult time adjusting to not tailgating on the Campanile hill. "It's harder to get into the stadium through that one little path," said Jan Denning, a 1976 graduate. "It's not as fun with the number of people there. I don't get to see as many of my friends. I don't know if it's a hassle, but it isn't the same." Jan and her husband Gary, who is also a 1976 graduate, have been tailgating at Kansas football games for more than 15 years. In the past, they tailgated under the trees near KANSAN FILE PHOTO This Homecoming POP the CORN ...only at THE HAWK GOOD LUCK 'HAWKS! THE HAWK Jayhawk CAFE WWW.JAYHAWKCAFE.COM 1340 Ohio • 843-9273 LAWRENCE the Campanile. Now, they tailgate at the Adams Alumni Center. "It is a hassle when you're picking people up and their gear," he said. "A friend of mine that tailgates with me has a daughter who's pregnant and comes to the games. It's been tough for her to be able to move around." Gary, however, is more frustrated by the construction than his wife. The University has been attempting to better accommodate tailgaters by opening up other parking lots "We have 610 Sports come in and do their show, and we also set up a couple tents outside," said Danny Lewis, assistant director of Alumni Programs and director of national alumni programs and athletic events. "We're trying to create a beer garden atmosphere. Indoors, we have about four or five big screens or flat screen TVs so people can watch other games." for tailgating Donna Hultine, director of the KU Parking Department, said that along with the parking lots near the stadium, lots 36 and 39 on Memorial Drive, the Mississippi Street parking garage, parts of Lewis also said that he thought that the construction was for the bgt- "The transition went smoothly, and we still had some epic tailgates and feel that we are a shoe-in for 'tailgate of the week' one of these days." TOM LARKIN Garden City senior the lot behind Strong Hall, lot 2 near Budig Hall, lot 33 near Lindley Hall, lot 54 near Murphy Hall and lot 72 of the Burge Union were available for Jayhawk fans to tailgate. Along with these additions, the Alumni Center, east of the Kansas Union parking garage, made some changes this year to provide fans with a better tailgating experience, mainly by turning the parking lot into an outdoor lot. ter and that fans thought so, too. "I've talked to people, and a lot of people are ecstatic about the changes," he said. "They are committed to the football team, but are upset about the parking. But people understand that it's a necessary evil to get the football program to where it needs to be." Although the construction has been an inconvenience, one student doesn't mind it. Before the construction Jack Hannah, Olathe senior, and his friends parked his truck directly on the Hill. "It was, without a doubt, the best spot to tailgate in," Hannah said. "We could sit in the bed of the truck and watch the game and still feel like we were in the stadium." But Hannah said he thought that the new buildings would make the football program a lot stronger and was excited about the direction that the program was taking. Tom Larkin, Garden City senior, said he had been tailgating since he was 12 or 13 years old. He said he, too, thought the construction would turn out well despite all the inconveniences it had caused. "It's definitely a hassle at this point, but when it's all said and done, it'll be a great addition for the football team next year." Larkin said. "But right now, it's hard to see the positive to it." Larkin and his family used to tailgate on the bottom of the Campanile hill. Since the start of construction, they've bounced around areas such as lot 90. Even though they may not be able to watch the game from their favorite spots, Jayhawk fans still are attending games and continuing the tradition that is tailgating. Jayhawk fans are also slowly but surely adjusting to the big cranes next to the stadium at every home football game. "The transition went smoothly, and we have still had some epic tailgates and feel that we are a shoe-in for 'Tailgate of the Week' one of these days," Hannah said. — Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Lasting Impressions CONSIGNMENT BOUTIQUE Shop..."more fashion for your dollar" Consign...turn your clothes into cash Save...everyday at Lasting Impressions store hours: monday - saturday 10am-6pm open thursdays until 8pm consignment hours: monday - ,saturday 10am-2:30pm fine clothing and home decor in the malls shopping center 23rd and louisiana 749-5122 2 4 V ANSAN 2007 JE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2007 HOMECOMING 5C PHOTO nl. 》 HOMECOMING PARADE Jayhawk Nation bus premieres at Saturday parade BY ALISON KETZNER KANSAS editor@kansan.com The Jayhawk Nation bus is the newest addition to the Homecoming Parade. The bus was originally used by the Museum of Natural History One of the most popular homecoming events is the parade, which features creative floats decorated by organizations and other individuals. This year, fans will see a new addition to the parade: a giant crimson and blue school bus. The Jayhawk Nation bus will lead the Homecoming Parade on Saturday morning. However, that both the theme of the bus and the theme of homecoming is Jayhawk Nation was merely a coincidence. "The committee started brainstorming for the theme last January," said Meghan Easter, co-director of the Homecoming Steering Committee. "The committee members threw out numerous ideas, and as a committee we voted and ultimately came up with Jayhawk Nation as the theme for homecoming. We thought the theme could be interpreted in many different ways." The Jayhawk Nation bus, which is owned by Marine Corps Sgt. Rodney Kessler and Lawrence resident Bryan Berns, fits the homecoming theme perfectly. Kessler, a life-long KU fan, has enjoyed attending football and basketball games with his parents and grandparents since he was a child. After buying an old Museum of Natural History bus from the University two years ago, it only made sense for Kessler to decorate it with what he loves — the Jayhawks. "I bought the bus because being as big of a fan as I am, I figured I had to go all out and show my team spirit in any way possible," Kessler said. Andrew Wacker/KANSAN Coming up with the title for the bus proved to be an easy task for the fan. "I wanted to come up with something that was original and also because it meant something to all KU students, so I figured Jayhawk Nation was the perfect theme," he said. With the help of Berns, his roommate, Kessler worked long hours restoring the bus. Restorations included fabrication work on the seats and hardwood flooring that covered the length of the bus. Kessler and Berns also buffed the bus, tinted the windows and put vinyl stickers on the sides. Their goal was to have the bus up and running in time for football season. Their hard work finally paid off after five long months. Although Kessler is the more vocal owner of the bus, Berns also shares ownership. This ownership began as a hobby for Berns, however, reviving the bus soon turned it into something much larger. "Restoring the bus started out as a fun project, but from there things just kept getting bigger and bigger and that left us with what you see today." Berns said. work. Besides helping with the restoration process, Berns also contributed to the effort in other ways. Owning a giant themed bus may seem like a good idea to some fans, but others may wonder what they would use it for. Kessler, on the other hand, has found a variety of ways to put his masterpiece to "My input came with helping think of ideas and figure out if they would work." Berns said. "Rod is the master fabricator. He was responsible for most of the work. I just did what he told me and tried to stay out of his way." Although the bus already shows Jayhawk pride, Kessler plans to continue to deck out his work of art. "The most memorable moment right now would have to be driving through Aggleville after winning the last KU-KSU game and watching the K-State fans throw beer cans Taking the bus out with friends and family provided many memories for Kessler, but there is one memory that stands out more than the rest. "I've thought about getting the horn to play the fight song when I honk it," he said. "I would also like to add a custom painted floor designed like the basketball court since the bus has a hardwood floor. I have also thought about putting a big KU logo on the side and painting the KU flag on the roof." "My friends and I take the bus out on weekends sometimes and roll around Lawrence and party, but it's mainly used for tailgating at football games," Kessler said. "One of the highlights of tailgating was winning Tailgate of the Game at the Colorado game last year." Edited by Meghan Murphy and beer bottles at my bus," he said. Although Kessler is unable to be in the parade and to show off his bus himself, he still believes his crimson and blue pride is apparent. Kessler will add this year's Homecoming Parade to his list of most memorable moments, but he can't attend because he is in Iraq serving in the Marine Corps. Berns is driving the bus in the parade in Kessler's place. "I think I've shown my team spirit better than anybody else in Lawrence," Kessler said. 10000000000 Andrew Wacker/KANSAN KU-themed memorabilia adorn every aspect of the bus including the door handle.

Waving the wheat, along with the alma mater and Rock Chalk clap are several KU traditions that represents the history at the University. BY BROOKE HEATH The University of Kansas Rock Chalk chant has special meaning to Becky Blackman. "My favorite KU tradition is the Rock Chalk Jayhawk chant. It's fun to do and Theodore Roosevelt said it's the best chant ever," Blackman, Overland Park freshman, said. Along with the Rock Chalk chant KANSAN FILE PHOTO are many other traditions that KU students, fans and alumni come to know and love. The King of Belgium asked to hear a classic American chant during the 1920 Olympics, and athletes agreed on the Rock Chalk chant. Originally, the Rock Chalk chant was "Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KU", created by E.H.S. Bailey in 1886. Years later, when chalk rock limestone was found on Mount Oread, it was changed and has since remained, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk, KU" Before the start of a game, fans sing the alma mater then repeat the Rock Chalk chant five times; the first two times slowly and the last three quickly. As Blackman said, Theodore Roosevelt called the chant the best college chant that he had ever heard. He's not alone in considering it a great college chant. The King of Belgium asked to hear a classic American chant during the 1920 Olympics, and athletes agreed on the Rock Chalk chant. The alma mater is another University tradition. Also before the start of a game, fans gather together and put their arms around each other to sing the song, "Crimson and the Blue" was first sing in 1891 by the Kansas Glee and Mandolin Club. Professor George Barlow Penny taught the song to the club, changing the lyrics from a song known as "Far Above Cayuga's Waters". More than 100 years later, students still sing the song. By October, most students know the chants, songs and traditions. But for those students new to the University, a tradition night event is held during Hawk Week in August where these students can learn about University traditions. This year, traditions night was held on Aug. 13 at Memorial Stadium. A former KU cheerleader taught attendees how to wave the wheat, sing the alma mater, chant and how to clap to "I'm a Jayhawk." The crowd got engaged during the event with the KU cheerleaders, dancers, band, Big Jay and Baby Jay. With homecoming underway this week, students, fans and alumni have the opportunity to bring out University traditions, keeping in mind the meaning and history they hold.

Mohamed El-Hodiri, a professor of economics, was raised in Egypt and studied in Russia. He Unlike homecoming at the university, kermesse lasts only one day and revolves around family soccer tournaments that entire families "It should not be purely entertainment and fundraising, for heaven's sake." MOHAMED EL-HODIRI Professor of economics said those two countries had traditions of homecoming, but they were different in emphasis and objectives from the homecoming traditions of the United States, Australia and apartheid-era South Africa. "In the old countries with traditions and long cultural history, homecoming focuses on the intellectual contributions of the graduates and celebrates the process of learning." El-Hodiri said. He said this tradition had been lost in newer countries. One of his criticisms of the University's homecoming was the shift from honoring to entertainment. "My favorite part of homecoming at KU would be when alumni come and pay visit to their old professors, but I never saw that on the program." El-Hodiri said. "It should not be purely entertainment and fundraising, for heaven's sake." Eduardo Galdo, Lima, Peru, junio, said people in his country referred to annual alumni gatherings as kermesse. This Peruvian version of homecoming only takes place in high schools. "All the old students — even the 60-year-olds — will come with their sons to celebrate," Galdo said. participate in. Galdo also said that during kermesse, his high school placed a stronger emphasis on the family aspect than the University did during home-coming. "Even the dad and the grandparent will have the same team as the son," Galdo said. "They all play together. It's more of a family thing." In Hong Kong, high school students celebrate a day similar to the American tradition of homecoming. Mandy Leu. hong Kong freshman, said her school held an annual sports day, on which alumni return to watch competitions. During this event, running is the most anticipated sport. In some countries, schools do not sponsor any events comparable to homecoming in the United States. Sandra Ristovska, Skopje, Macdonia, junior, said Macedonians did not celebrate an event like homecoming, but universities did invite their alumni for certain special occasions. they are in the States, so no events are centered around a college sport game," Ritovska said. "College sports are not as important for most European countries as Although an annual gathering of alumni does not exist in Macedonia, Ritovska said graduation anniversaries were celebrated every five years. As in Macedonia, an annual day for alumni gathering did not exist in Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Al Shammarli, Dammm, Saudi Arabia, freshman, said. "College sports are not as important for most European countries as they are in the States, so no events are centered around a college sport game." "We don't have it back home, but I think homeliness is a good idea." Al Shammari said. "This day is cool, in my opinion, because it would remind alumni of the school." He said he especially liked the fact that homecoming allowed former students to reunite with old friends and visit their professors. Al Shammari said he would definitely come back after he graduated. Dawit Kebede, Addis Ababa, SANDRA RISTOVSKA Skopje, Macedonia, junior Ethiopia, freshman, said reunions of former students were not popular in his hometown, but he said he was impressed with the American tradition of homecoming "I think it is important to remember your school." Kebede said. He said he liked the personal freedom at the University and plans to return after graduation. "Homecoming is real democracy," Kebede said. "In Ethiopia, a parade in a university would be seen as a political demonstration." Edited by Matt Erickson BY ALEXANDRA GARRY WHY DID YOU COME TO KU?

LINDSAY ANDREWS 》 LAWRENCE STASON WARE Lawrence businesses, on Massachusetts Street and elsewhere, expect a busy homecoming weekend. Hotels, restaurants and bars all experience surges of business during the week as alumni and others come to Lawrence. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Visitors bring business BY ABBY OLCESE It's no secret that the University begins preparations for homecoming months before the event. But the University is not the only entity that has to make its homecoming plans far in advance. Visitors who plan to stay for the weekend have their own pressing issues to deal with: Where will they stay after the day's festivities have come to a close? That's where people like Randy Disoos and Brandon White come in. Disoos is the manager of the Lawrence Econo Lodge, 2222 W. Sixth St., and White manages the local Holiday Inn, 200 McDonald Dr. Both hotel managers said that rooms sold quickly every year for homecoming weekend. "Usually after the rooms open up, they're gone in a day or two," Disoso said. "We started selling the rooms in July, and by August we were sold out." "I'd say we usually have to turn down 50-100 people per night leading up to homecoming," White said. "Normally it wouldn't be so many." White said it was not unusual for the Holiday Inn to be sold out of rooms every weekend when there was a home football game, but there was a definite increase in demand over homecoming weekend. Hotels are not the only businesses in Lawrence that can expect an increase of customers during homecoming. Restaurants and bars are affected by the increase, as well. "Usually on busy weekends like homecoming, we like to feature interesting specials, like nice beef and fish," said Ann Turner, manager of Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St. "We usually have good specials on weekends, but during homecoming, we'll have special dishes like Kobe beef." Ryan Lantz, general manager of Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., said homecoming crowds varied year to year. "The size of the crowd also depends on who KU is playing. This year, it's Nebraska, and Nebraska fans travel well, since it's so close," Lantz said. Jerry Neverve, owner of the Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., said the incoming crowd was a general mix of locals and out-of-towners. "People come back to Lawrence. They want to go out and have a good time," Neverce said. "It's kind of hard to tell, though, how many of those people aren't from around here." Lantz said he thought the ratio of locals to non-locals depended on the location of KU's opponent in the homecoming game. "If a team's from a long distance away, it's not likely the fans are going to travel, or will want to stay after the game." Lantz said. "Nebraska is about two hours away, so the fans may want to stay." To prepare for the increased number of customers, Disoso makes sure every employee is available to work the weekend of homecoming. "When you get an influx of people like this, you want to make sure that everyone's needs are met quickly, and that they're able to get the service they expect," Disoso said. In addition to making sure Holiday Inn is fully staffed, White has his staff prepare welcome gifts for guests. "It's a way for us to say, 'Thank you for choosing to stay here,' " White said. "I don't know yet what we'll do this year, but last year we had welcome bags with snacks and bottles of water in them." Unlike hotels, popular restaurants in town are usually filled to capacity every weekend, so increasing staffing on Homecoming is not a solution, according to Turner. "Everyone working just has to work a little faster," she said. Peggy Kritos, manager of the Mad Greek Restaurant, 907 Massachusetts St., agreed with Turner. "We're always busy, so we always have lots of staff working," Kritos said. "On big weekends, we just prepare more food and have it ready to go." Neverve said he'enjoyed the extra customers. "It's a nice bump in business," Neverve said, "We always look forward to it." Edited by Matt Erickson Students & Alumni- Johnny's invites you to celebrate Homecoming with us.

The stone walls and wooden roof are characteristic of traditional churches, and the large windows allow natural light to fill the interior. Danforth Chapel was rededicated in September as part of a donor recognition ceremony. Construction on the chapel, including repairs from the 2006 microburst that damaged the chapel, ended in September. New landscaping was one of the major renovations. ALEXANDRA GARRY Jon Goering/KANSAN editor@kansan.com Like many other brides-to-be, 2005 graduate Nyana Miller faced many questions about what she wanted for her big day. Questions ranged from how she would wear her hair to what prayers would be said. However, Miller was certain of one aspect of her wedding: Its location would the University of Kansas' Danforth Chapel. "College was such a transformative time in our lives, but we were able to stay close and grow in the same direction." Miller said. "Getting married in Danforth was perfect because it was so close to where we became so close." Since its opening in 1946, Danforth Chapel has been the site of nearly 5,000 weddings for alumni, Lawrence residents and University-related couples from across the world. According to kuhistory.com, as many as 170 couples a year get married in the chapel. Indeed, it has become a University tradition for alumni to be married in the chapel. Miller said she and now-husband Chris Kokruda became close when they both lived in scholarship halls just feet down the 14th Street hill from Danforth. Miller said that was why the chapel became the obvious choice for them when they decided to get married. However, location was not the only reason that Danforth had sentimental significance for Miller. WELCOME "I remember going to Danforth on Sept. 11 and the sense of calm there then," she said. "I always thought of it as a peaceful setting." Thad Holkeim, pastor for Ecumenical Christian Ministries, was the minister for Miller and Kokruda's wedding and many other weddings at Danforth throughout the years. "A lot of alumni get married there, but it's not as hard to get a date as everyone thinks," she said. "A lot of alumni like to have their weddings at Danforth because it's a place they have been during their time at KU," Holkeim said. "Others like it because they don't have a particular congregation or because they see it as a neutral site if each side of the family has its own church." Miller became engaged in August 2006 and was able to book the chapel shortly afterward through the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, which runs the chapel and oversees its bookings. "Sometimes I refer couples to judges," he said. "And that's OK. I make sure they have services that are not in violation of their principles." Holkeim said that marriage services at the chapel did not have to be religious. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Although demand for the small chapel was high, Miller said the process of booking it was not difficult. Becky Dunavin, chapel coordinator, said that couples could book the chapel up to a year in advance and could do so through a booking form on the center's Web site. Wedding guests welcome newlywed alumni Chris Kokruda and Nyana Miller after their wedding. The chapel plays host to about three weddings each weekend. Danforth has become more than a University landmark. With an average of three weddings a weekend, it's also a popular vow locale. It is not without limitations, however. The chapel seats about 80 people, too small for some wedding invitation lists, and has limited parking. Because of the high demand for the small space,couples also have limited time to set up their decorations,have their service and take everything down again only two hours are allotted to each wedding. Recent renovations completed earlier this semester bolstered Danforth's cosmetic appeal. A bridal room was added, the organ was refurbished and new lighting and tiling were installed. Dunavin described these changes as "yet another positive draw to the chapel." - Edited by Luke Morris The Midwest's finest guitars, amps, pedals, and much more... MASS.

Cara DeCoito, Lincoln, Neb. sophomore, plans on wearing that shirt proudly this weekend, despite her origin. DeCoito, whose mother, Kathy, is an alumna of the University of Nebraska, made the decision to come to the University of Kansas as a way to branch out.

Laura Goodenkauf, Lincoln, Neb, senior, has two siblings at Nebraska, and her father holds his undergraduate and master's degrees from Nebraska. She is in a unique situation when it comes to Cornhuskers- Jayhawk competition. "They are supportive," Goodenkau said, "but of course they give me a hard time for being a lajhwak instead of a Cornhusker." "I met him, and I didn't know if he was normal until I met his family," she said. "I didn't realize how fanatical Nebraska people are about their football and their college until Patrick Manning graduated from the University of Nebraska in Omaha and grew up a Cornhuskers fan. He moved to Hays for his first job and fell in love with a Jayhawk, Kris, who is now his wife. Then they moved to Lawrence so she could get her master's degree from the University of Kansas. But Patrick said living in Lawrence hasn't made him less of a Nebraska fan. "It's hard because all of my family is in Nebraska, and all of my friends are still there," Patrick said. "It's hard for them to believe I left, hard to believe there is a world outside of Nebraska. A great world." "During football season, I'm still a diehard Cornhuskers fan," he said.

"My family is diehard KU and his is diehard Nebraska, so sometimes the grandkids get stuck in the middle," she said. "We used to be able to cheer for each other, but now we beat them in football, it's getting more exciting." Laura Goodenkauf's sister, Jolyn Anderson, Lincoln, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore at Nebraska, agrees that the games are always interesting. "It's a rivalry because it's the Big 12, so there's a competition," said Anderson. "But it's always been a good game because KU has fun fans." Even though they have come to Jayhawk country, DeCoito and Goodenkauf said their friends playfully teased them about moving to Lawrence. "I have another friend from Nebraska here at KU, and we get made fun of for being the token Nebraska kids," Goodenkauf said. But DeCoito and Goodenkauf also admitted to being the first to cheer against Nebraska. DeCoito even said she was happy when Missouri beat Nebraska this season. "I'm a Ja y hawk," Goodenkauf said.

KAΨ Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2007 HOMECOMING 11C MASCOTS Hatching new ideas: Baby Jay's beginnings A freshman student creates the little bird on her own I am the most important person in my life. I feel so loved and supported by everyone. I know that I will always be a part of your life. I love you more than anyone else. Thank you for being my best friend. I will miss you every day. Have a wonderful day! BY JENNIFER TORLINE editor@kansan.com When Amy Hurst was "hatched" as the first Baby Jay 36 years ago, she had no idea that the mascot she created would become a KU legend. Baby Jay was introduced to the KU community during halftime of the homecoming victory against Kansas State on Oct. 9, 1971. Hurst rolled onto the field as a blue egg, and hatched out as Baby Jay. "When the egg opened up and I stepped out, the sound that I heard was not cheering; it was a collective 'gasp,'" Hurst said. "It was very exciting." Hurst created the idea of Baby Jay during her freshman year at the University of Kansas in 1970. At the time, she worked at Lum's, a sports bar that used to be on 23rd Street, and her manager, Eldon Duppt, was Big Jav. "It began as a joke between us," Hurst said. "I kept teasing him and telling him that he really needed a Baby Jay on the field with him at the sporting events." Hurst said she was also inspired by a bumper sticker with Big Jay and a line of little Jayhawks running after him. "When the egg opened up and I stepped out, the sound that I heard was not cheering; it was a collective'gasp." "I said I would make it happen." Hurst said. "But I wanted to be the one to wear the costume." Puett eventually introduced Hurst and her idea of a baby mascot to the executive director of the Alumni Association, Dick Wintermote. Wintermote approved Hurst's idea, but told her there was no funding for it. AMY HURST Original Baby Jay ROVEN Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN The original Baby Jay suit, on display on level one of the Kansas Union, was designed by Amy Hurst. It made its debut during halftime of the homecoming game against K-State on October 19, 1971, when it hatched out of an egg that Big Jay had laughed onto the 50-yard line of Memorial Stadium. When Hurst went home to Madeira, Ohio, that summer, she and her parents made the first Baby Jay costume out of chicken wire, fiberglass and fabric. They based their design on a notebook drawing Hurst had made of Big Jay. The costume cost them $53 to construct "My parents didn't even know I was going to do this until I got home that summer," Hurst said. "I lifeguarded the day and made Baby lay at night." After Hurst made her Baby Jay debut, she wore the Baby Jay costume to athletic events for her remaining three years at the University before graduating in 1974. The Baby Jay costume was very heavy and often bruised Hurst, but for her it was "the funnest thing." Her original costume is now on display on the first floor of the Kansas Union. During her time at the University, Hurst was the only Baby Jay to perform at all the football and basketball games. Today, Baby and Big Jay appear at a variety of sports events, including baseball, softball, volleyball and soccer games. There are four Baby Jays and four Big Jays that share the responsibilities of 600 to 700 games and appearances. This is a feat nearly impossible for one person to accomplish, said Kamille Ratzlass, Montzeuna senior and one of the current Baby Jays. "It would be possible if this was their job and they didn't have classes," Ratzell said. "If we were a professional mascot, we could do that." In 2003, Hurst set up a mascot fund to help buy future costumes. She said she would continue to donate to the fund in the future though she retired from real estate development in July. Hurst currently lives in Asheville, N.C., but she said COUGHING BIRD CONTRIBUTED PHOTO During Hurst's senior year at KU, she and a photographer from The University Daily Kansan took a series of photos of Baby Jay graduates as well as photos of Baby Jay posing by various buildings on campus.

But wherever she goes, Hurst said she would remain a KU fan and continue to believe in the outreach of Baby Jay and Big Jay to the rest of the world. "They are your constant image of KU." Hurst said.

Kansas' first homecoming game was played Nov. 23, 1912, at McCook Field. editor@kansan.com BY ALEX DUFEK THE BEGINNING A Fourth of July day full of excitement, activities and parades wouldn't be complete without the firework show at the end. Likewise a homecoming week wouldn't be complete without an exciting and memorable conclusion. Throughout the history of the University, the football team has been able to offer its homecoming fans that explosion of excitement. KANSAN FILE PHOTO The Jayhawks began their homecoming tradition at McCook Field on Nov. 23, 1912, with a 12-3 victory against the Missouri. In 1918 Kansas was forced to cancel its homecoming then-Border Showdown against Missouri because of a flu epidemic. CORNHUSKERS EQUAL HOMECOMING HOUSE OF HORRORS The homecoming tradition against the University of Nebraska, this year's opponent, has an interesting past. In 1922, the Huskers defeated the Jayhawks 28-0, spoiling the homecoming dedication of Memorial Stadium in Lawrence. The next year, however, Kansas tied the MVC-winning Cornhuskers in Lincoln during Nebraska's homecoming and the dedication of Nebraska's Memorial Stadium in what was called a "stadium dedication inn." In retrospect maybe Kansas should have let Nebraska cherish its stadium dedication as the Huskers seem to have taken the disappointing tie to heart by dominating Kansas and dampening the lajhawks' homecoming celebrations throughout history. When scheduled for homecoming in Lawrence, the Cornhuskers are a remarkable 21-3-1. DEFENSE BLOWS AWAY COMPETITION IN BLIZZARD On a cold November afternoon in 1923, the Jayhawks achieved a historical feat. They fought through a blizzard and tied the Missouri Tigers 3-3, finished the season without allowing their opponents to score a single touchdown and were atop the Missouri Valley Conference. 1971: A YEARTO REMEMBER 25 The 1971 homecoming game and the events surrounding it offered a lot of entertainment for Kansas students to enjoy.

In 1923, however, Kansas beat the Huskers. up to the game, jayhawk pranksters successfully changed the letters on "KS Hill" in Manhattan to read "KU." Kansas added to the fun the following week by collecting blue and red underwear from students and dropping it from a plane onto the Kansas State campus. The game itself was equally enjoyable because the Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats by a score of 39-13 in front of 51,617 people, the third largest crowd in Memorial Stadium history. The Jayhawks gained 248 yards on the ground, dismantling the top-ranked run defense in the country. Although the memorable pranks and blowout victory were special moments in Jayhawk history, the most lasting image of the 1971 homecoming game occurred during halftime. Big Jay carried a giant egg onto the field and, after a few moments, the lovable mascot Baby Jay hatched out of her shell. She has stayed with Kansas ever since. JAYHAWKS PLAY SPOILER TO AIKMAN'S DEBUT In the 1984 showdown against the No. 2 Sooners, the Jayhawks gave a warm welcome to the future NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman by spoiling his college debut, defeating the Sooners 28-11. WINBUSH WHOOPS UP ON NATIONALLY RANKED BUFFALOES The upset of No. 17 Colorado in 1998 was personally ground-delivered by jayhawk running back David Winchub. In his previous 15 games Winchub had never eclipsed the 100-yard marker. In game 16, however, Winchub surpassed all but three jayhawks in the record books, rushing for 268 yards, the fourth most all-time in single game. After such a defeat one could only assume that the goal posts came down, right? Of course they did, and at least one student was hospitalized afterward. THE K-STATE THRILLER AND STREAK KILLER In the 2004 thriller against Kansas State University, the Jayhawk's Charles Gordon snagged a last chance onside kick with 2.04 to win a game that marked Mangino's first victory against the Wildcats as head coach and Kansas' first victory against the Wildcats since 1992. HOMECOMING RECORDS Kansas has been mediocre throughout homecoming history, posting an all-time record of 41-48-5. During the past two decades, however, the team has shown up in dominant fashion to welcome back its former Jayhawks, winning 13 of its last 17 homecoming games. The past three coaches, Glen Mason, Terry Allen and currently, Mark Mangino, all have losing records overall but post impressive homecoming resumes. Mason holds a .466 winning percentage at Kansas, the best in the last 37 years. The record is bolstered by Mason's homecoming success as he emerged victorious in six out of nine games. Terry Allen holds a .375 winning percentage for his five years here but won four of five homecoming match-ups. The only loss came in his final year to an Oklahoma team that was riding a 19-game winning streak. That streaked 20 games partially due to current Kansas Coach Mark Mangino, who at the time was the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator of the Sooners. Mangino has also found success at Kansas during his stay as the Jayhawks commander-in-chief, winning 3 of 5 homecoming games. Whether it has been a successful or disappointing season in Kansas football history, the jayhawks are always able to offer the fans an enjoyable and eventful experience for homecoming. With many memorable moments already packed into the 2007 season, one would expect this year to be no exception. — Edited by Amelia Freidline GO H WKS LEFT, some fans of the KU football team wear their hearts on their chests, not their sleeves.

All students have to do is purchase a ticket, show up and eat some pancakes. Student groups can receive one point per person, with a maximum of 100 points possible. "It's a good place to mingle with other Jayhawk fans before the game." John Larance, Houston senior, said he was looking forward to the feast, which runs from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. He was already planning on being on campus at 7:30 a.m. to complete the Theta Chi fraternity's Homecoming Parade float. JAY BENEDICT Roseland junior Larance said he chatted with an alumnus from the class of 1957 at last year's pancake breakfast. was a good way to begin the last day of Homecoming Week and warm the bellies of Jayhawk fans preparing to brave the November temperatures. "I should be hungry by the time we get the float up there" he said. "It's just a great thing to get out and go to it." Anderson said. "You know you're tired, you're cold. That's what it's all about. That's when you know [Homecoming] is here." Special events co-chair Trey Annion Wichita junior said the pancake breakfast It's also a way to grab coveted seats along Jayhawk Boulevard for the 9:30 a.m. parade. Instead of jostling for a position, Anderson suggested that people should arrive early for breakfast and stake out a position to watch the parade. Special events co-chair Jay Benedict, Roseland junior, said the breakfast was a great way to cap off the week. "It's good intermingling. It's a good opportunity to watch the parade. It's a good place to mingle with other Jayhawk fans before the game." Benedict said. Tickets for the pancake breakfast are $5 and can be purchased at the Homecoming Steering Committee's booth on Wescoe Beach from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. all week. Tickets can also be purchased at the event.

The Alumni Association has various ways to keep graduates — near and far — aware of the weekend. Alderdice said that the Homecoming events were strongly promoted on the association's Web site and in its magazine. Homecoming is not only designed to demonstrate the football team's superiority, flaunt floats down Jayhawk Boulevard or even win the title of corndog eating champion. Jennifer Alderdice, director of student programs at the Alumni Association and adviser to the Homecoming and Steering Committee, said the purpose of Homecoming was to reconnect alumni to their alma mater. The Alumni Association also targets former students in a more specific fashion. Alderdice said the K-club, which consists of athletic alumni, was sent pamphlets encouraging alumni to not only revist the University, but to participate in the Spirit Sprint, a 5k run around campus that benefits the Douglas County United Way program. The Alumni Association even sends mail to the Homecoming Queens, who were designated until 1978, to encourage their return to the University. Marsh said that because Nebraska's football team has very rarely come to Lawrence as an underdog, he thinks the intensity of the event would encourage more alumni to show their support. "Lots of alumni call from all over asking about events and statistics," Marsh said. "While that doesn't necessarily equate to increasing numbers of alumni coming to campus, we feel confident that the number is not decreasing." Though most career paths take students beyond the limits of Lawrence, the KU Alumni Association wants to bring thousands of jayhawks back to Lawrence on Homecoming weekend to reflect on their foundations. Curtis Marsh, a 1994 graduate and director of student information, said his loyalty to the University began with great experiences as an undergraduate student. He also said that alumni played a significant role at the University for the same reasons they did at other universities. "Aulni are important in maintaining the value of your degree," she said. "[The University is] only as strong as our alumni. Your degree is strengthened by the efforts of the Alumni Association." COMING HOME Alumni return to KU for festivities "They are the primary donors to their university's endowment, and serve as an extension of the student community by helping with recruiting great new students and providing employment for recent graduates." Marsh said.

Barnes' job allows many opportunities for personal contact with members of the Athletics Department. "George is great working with the coaching staffs, the players and the students. He's just great," Ellis said. Barnes and his staff enjoy the atmosphere of the Homecoming game, but as far as their work is concerned, it will be business as usual. "From our perspective, there really is not too much special preparation for homecoming," he said. "We prepare the same for homecoming as we do with Band Day or anything like that." Barnes, admittedly reserved in nature, said he was proud to work for the University. He, and many others, work hard behind the scenes so the players can take a playable field. —Edited by Chris Beattie What do you think? BY ALEXANDRA GARRY BY ALEXANDRA GARRY I am not a judge.

But his business plan for a bilingual tanning salon has won a national award and earned him a $2,000 renewable four-year scholarship. Mata, a Kansas City, Kan., freshman majoring in business management, won first place at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Bizfest, a competition and training program for high school and college students interested in a career in business. The competition, which ran from Sept. 19-22 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, required students to create a business plan complete with financial information. But Mata was, at one time, without a plan at all. In regionals last spring, Mata, a then-high school senior, was still searching for the right were due. One of his trainers opened a phone book and on it were ads for tanning salons. Mata began his research at about midnight and stayed up until 4 a.m. working on his new plan. Mata's late-night work paid off, however, as he finished second at regionals. "I was confident in myself when I presented it," he said. "So that's what helped me, I didn't think I was going to place second, but I thought I'd be in the top three." Mata said the concept of a bilingual tanning salon was incorporated because he speaks Spanish and English and thought the salon would be better equipped to serve customers. At the Bizfest finals in September, Mata was again up until the wee hours of the morning getting more accurate financial numbers in regards to loans, rent, utility bills and other expenses. Mata was rewarded again but this time with the first-place award. "I guess I work better under pressure," he In addition to the award and scholarship, Mata has been offered an all-expensespaid trip to attend the USHCC Legislative Conference in March, an internship this summer with the USHCC in Washington, D.C., and another summer internship with Sprint. Mata said one of the things he learned from the competition was the importance of networking. He said meeting people from Sprint and Google helped him learn a great deal about managing finances of big businesses. Mata said in the future he wanted to work in international business. Susana Rodriguez, Kansas City, Kan, freshman, also competed at Bizfest. Rodriguez, a French and pre-medicine major, submitted a business plan called HealthCARE for All. It featured a clinic for Hispanics and uninsured people. She said she chose that idea because a year ago her dad was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and his medical coverage expired, mak- Rodriquez did not place at nationals but said she made new friends and enjoyed networking with business professionals. "In Puerto Rico I met so many people that I have a lot in common with, and we still keep in touch," she said. Carlos Gomez, president and CEO of the Greater Kansas City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said that during the past five years Kansas City-area students had routinely placed in the top three of the competition but never first until this year. "They did tremendous" he said. "We are very proud of them." Rodriquez, who might someday want to open her own clinic, offered a suggestion to those interested in a business career: Always ask for the business cards of people you meet. "You never know when you might need to contact them," she said.

I have worked in a coffee shop for the past two years, and have, over that period of time, expanded my palette to enjoy everything from orange mochas to Cuban espresso shots. Coffee, however, doesn't love me—or my stomach. After several months of consistent java slurping, I started getting horrible, hours-long stomachaches that left me curled up and close to tears. As soon as my love affair had blossomed, I was forced to break it off with coffee. Enter tea. I began to explore the dozens of tea varieties available to me at work. I drank green, black and red teas hot. I drank them cold, with milk, unsweetened, and I drank them almost every day. Though the energy boost wasn't quite as immediate as the kick from coffee, I loved the flavor and I felt steadier after drinking tea. Nothing feels better on a sore throat or to warm chilly, fall hands than a mug of hot tea. Read Chris Hom's story on tea, pg. 4, to learn more about this brilliant beverage.

Brittani Johnson, Denver senior, described her sorority's plans for their float. "For this year's theme, we're having a jayhawk on a throne with a crown on his head, with stalks of corn as his subjects," she said. Johnson said her sorority had placed well during her time at the University and she expected the same results at this year's parade.

Here are some fun tea facts: "The teashop offers a relaxing More and more people in Lawrence have caught on to the national shift toward highquality tea consumption and the ever-growing tea scene in the city is indicative of its increasing popularity.

Black tea helps blood flow to the brain and increases concentration and mental focus. Black tea also prevents the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream, which helps lower the risk of heart disease. Rooibos or Red teas come from a South African red bush. They have higher antioxidant levels than green tea and rooibos tea has no caffeine. Rooibos tea have high levels of vitamins and minerals and are excellent in aiding with digestion. Bubble tea typically have four components: a flavor, a creamer, a sweetener and a liquid. Flavors range from chai to honeydew and you can choose from tea or milk as your liquid. Bubble-tea lovers also have the option of adding boba, or large balls of sweet tapioca, which adds a fun twist. Herbal teas consist of herbs, and can also include flowers and fruits. Their healthiness varies from tea to tea. Source: www.teevana.com, www.bubbleteasupply.com and www.teegarden.com Gary Patterson, co-owner of House of Cha, says his business has increased at least 15 percent every year since the teahouse opened in 2003. The idea for House of Cha grew from Patterson's online venture as a wholesaler of Taiwanese oolong tea, which tea connoisseurs consider to be the world's best. Patterson and his wife, Fanny, whose family has a history in the Taiwanese tea industry, decided to open the teahouse in hopes of educating Lawrence residents about the perks of high-quality tea. Patterson says the teahouse's bubble-tea drinkers range from international students to Lawrence residents, and from toddlers to senior citizens. "Once somebody tries it," he says, "they keep coming back for more." Mark Ukra, a tea connoiseur known as Dr. Tea, discusses the healthful benefits and increasing popularity of tea in his book The Ultimate Tea Diet, which is set for release in December, Ukra's Los Angeles teahouse, the Tea Garden & Herbal Emporium, offers its wide range of clientele an abundance of tea knowledge and quirky ways to incorporate tea into daily routines. Ukra says stereotypical tea drinkers, which he describes as "the pinkies-up crowd" or "little old ladies," are a thing of the past and the increasing number of teahouses and retailers is a sign of progress. "Teahouses are starting to pop up in more mainstream locations instead of off the beaten path," Ukra says. "The fact that there are coffeehouses on every corner is not adequate anymore for health-conscious individuals."

Shaua adds that tea is where espresso was 15 years ago and the tea culture is spreading eastward from California. "We don't want to be on the tail end of the trend." Shaus says. "We want to be on the beginning end. We're trying to convert espresso drinkers to tea drinkers."

But his business plan for a bilingual tanning salon has won a national award and earned him a $2,000 renewable four-year scholarship. Mata, a Kansas City, Kan., freshman majoring in business management, won first place at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Bizfest, a competition and training program for high school and college students interested in a career in business. The competition, which ran from Sept. 19-22 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, required students to create a business plan complete with financial information. But Mata was, at one time, without a plan at all. In regional last spring, Mata, a then-high school senior, was still searching for the right were due. One of his trainers opened a phone book and on it were ads for tanning salons. Mata began his research at about midnight and stayed up until 4 a.m. working on his new plan. Mata's late-night work paid off, however, as he finished second at regionals. "I was confident in myself when I presented it," he said. "So that's what helped me. I didn't think I was going to place second, but I thought I'd be in the top three." Mata said the concept of a bilingual tanning salon was incorporated because he speaks Spanish and English and thought the salon would be better equipped to serve customers. At the Bizfest finals in September, Mata was again up until the wee hours of the morning getting more accurate financial numbers in regards to loans, rent, utility bills and other expenses. Mata was rewarded again but this time with the first-place award. "I guess I work better under pressure," he In addition to the award and scholarship, Mata has been offered an all-expensespaid trip to attend the USHCC Legislative Conference in March, an internship this summer with the USHCC in Washington, D.C., and another summer internship with Sprint. Mata said one of the things he learned from the competition was the importance of networking. He said meeting people from Sprint and Google helped him learn a great deal about managing finances of big businesses. Mata said in the future he wanted to work in international business. Susana Rodriguez, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, also competed at Bizfest. Rodriguez, a French and pre-medicine major, submitted a business plan called HealthCARE for All.

But covering your cuisine with a plastic cloak before nuking it could transfer some unfriendly substances into your food. Carolyn Raffensperger, executive director of the Science and Environmental Health Network (SEHN), says that when plastic wrap gets hot, the chemical compounds that make it your meal, and foods contain of phthalate the chen to rep labor as w sal, and they seep most easily into diids containing fat. Though the effect of phthalates on humans isn't clear, the chemicals have been linked to reproductive problems in laboratory animals, as well as obesity and cancer. So, when it comes to cooking something that will soon be in your body, "It's safer to avoid plastic food wrap unless you know what's in it," says Ted Schettler, science director for SEHN. Fortunately, you can find plastic wrap that is microwave safe. Just look for a label on the box and let harmless heat reign. Megan Hirt ■health tip■ A MOUTH-WATERING APPETIZER People are constantly looking for new ways to lose weight, often turning to fad diets and over-the-counter pills. But one weight loss method is already in your kitchen: water. "A lot of times when our brain is crawing liquid, we read that as hunger," says Amber Long, fitness coordinator at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. Long says students should be drinking eight glasses of water a day, and even more if they are physically active. For weight loss, she recommends drinking eight ounces, or one glass, of water before meals, including breakfast. It's effective because drinking that glass of water helps fill up your stomach, thereby making you less hungry and less likely to consume large amounts of food at meal time. It's also recommended you drink your last glass of H2O at least three hours before going to bed to avoid bathroom visits throughout the night. Jared Duncan health 65 Water ften ight --- Now Hiring!

But his business plan for a bilingual tanning salon has won a national award and earned him a $2,000 renewable four-year scholarship. Mata, a Kansas City, Kan., freshman majoring in business management, won first place at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Bizfest, a competition and training program for high school and college students interested in a career in business. The competition, which ran from Sept. 19-22 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, required students to create a business plan complete with financial information. But Mata was, at one time, without a plan at all. In regionals last spring, Mata, a then-high school senior, was still searching for the right were due. One of his trainers opened a phone book and on it were ads for tanning salons. Mata began his research at about midnight and stayed up until 4 a.m. working on his new plan. Mata's late-night work paid off, however, as he finished second at regionalists. "I was confident in myself when I presented it," he said. "So that's what helped me, I didn't think I was going to place second, but I thought I'd be in the top three." Mata said the concept of a bilingual tanning salon was incorporated because he speaks Spanish and English and thought the salon would be better equipped to serve customers. At the Bizfest finals in September, Mata was again up until the wee hours of the morning getting more accurate financial numbers in regards to loans, rent, utility bills and other expenses. Mata was rewarded again but this time with the first-place award. "I guess I work better under pressure," he In addition to the award and scholarship, Mata has been offered an all-expensespaid trip to attend the USHCC Legislative Conference in March, an internship this summer with the USHCC in Washington, D.C., and another summer internship with Sprint. Mata said one of the things he learned from the competition was the importance of networking. He said meeting people from Sprint and Google helped him learn a great deal about managing finances of big businesses. Mata said in the future he wanted to work in international business. Susana Rodriguez, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, also competed at Bizfest. Rodriguez, a French and pre-medicine major, submitted a business plan called HealthCARE for All.

"They did tremendous," he said. "We are very proud of them." Rodriquez, who might someday want to open her own clinic, offered a suggestion to those interested in a business career: Always ask for the business cards of people you meet.

THE LONGEST LEAP Drop in the drop zone and feel the freedom of falling fast and far By Nathan Gill On a cold October day, Emily Reimer jumped out of a plane. After about 45 seconds of freefall, she pulled the chord of her parachute, but was falling blind. Condensation from her breath had frozen hard on her helmet's visor and the earth was a blue and brown blob. Though her hands were too frozen to remove the visor, she orchestrated a safe landing in a field. Most of Reimer's 150-plus skydiving jumps have not been thatcarearious.Shesayskyding isn't dangerous, if you're safe, and that its participants are not the stereotypical adrenaline junkies. She says it can be an exciting sport as much as a peaceful float from earthly troubles and cares. She says a typical skydive lasts less than ten minutes, with most of the time spent floating under a parachute. For Reimer, the excitement of skydiving comes in the approximately 45 seconds of freefall, when you can do all kinds of aeronautical stunts. Her favorite technique is to fall straight down, head first. "It's how I relax," says Reimer, president of the KU Skydiving Club and Wichita Junior. "You have a hard week, it's like, I need some air." Skydiving doesn't intimidate Reimer. She got her "A" license, which allows her to jump without supervision, only six weeks after she began jumping in July 2006. She says it takes most people six months to complete. She also has a "B" license and a coach rating, all through the United States Parachute Association. Jeremy Strumph, the skydiving club's adviser and a University grant writer, says there are three basic ways to fall from an airplane: relative work. "It's incredibly freeing," she says. "You don't think about anything else except your body and the wind." LEAP notice 07 free flying or with wing suits. Relative work is when a group of skydivers make formations, like circles or diamonds, together in the air. Free flying is a technique where skydivers orient themselves to fall head or feet first, which makes them fall faster. Wing suits are special full-body jumpsuits that perform like human hang gliders. This fact has made skydiving possible for Julia Brandes, Hannover, Germany, graduate student, who has a fear of heights. Struemph, who recently surpassed 600 jumps, skydives about every weekend at Skydive Kansas, a skydiving company in Osage City, just south of Topeka. He earns money at Skydive Kansas by recording or photographing other people's jumps. "The majority of people who I meet doing this aren't adrenaline junkies," Struemph says of the skydiving clientele, which includes professionals like doctors and lawyers, students and average Janes and Joes. Both Struemph and Reimer say that skydiving doesn't feel like falling. Because the airplane a skydriver rides up in is cruising at around 120 mph, and a belly-to-earth freefall happens at about the same speed, you don't get that stomach-in-your-throat feeling people get when, say, riding a roller coaster. The most joltting experience in a typical skydive happens when you open your parachute, decelerating you to about 30 mph, or when you hit the ground upon landing. the ground was different than looking precariously down from a tall building. She said that though you feel and hear the loud, constant whooshing of air against your body and face, the vast expanse of earth below "Yes, I had a fear of heights, but when I stepped out of the plane I had something else to worry about," she says. Brandes went skydiving just once, with Reimer, her roommate. She said the view from thousands of feet above Though Brands suffered some motion sickness upon landing, she said the experience was a good one overall and that doesn't seem to approach you with alarming speed. She says you don't feel the height. A few tips to get your fall off on the right foot: Proper Planning Choose your dropzone carefully before scheduling a jump or paying in advance. The United States Parachute Association has received complaints about online referral services that do not match clients with the nearest dropzone locations or best price. See www.uspa.org/about/index.htm#consumeralert for more information. Ask about weight limits. The equipment and planes dropzones use, government regulations, the type of dive being performed and the business' own safety preferences are all factors in determining how heavy a skydiver can be. Don't wear your sandals while skydiving, unless you want to know how Fred Flintstone feels Heed the wise narrator of Skydive Kansas' instructional video; when he puts the brakes on his car. "The key to a good exit is in the hips. You can accomplish this by squeezing your butt cheeks together." Source: United States Parachute Association Bill Hubbell is a tandem skydiving instructor at Skydive Kansas who's logged more than 1,600 jumps. He says that at Skydive Kansas, first-time skydivers get training from an instructional video (see it here: www.skydivekansas.com/tandemclass/tandemclass) and from instructors before their jump. it helps that first time filers go tandem with an instructor and receive training prior to the jump. He said that motion sickness isn't common, unless you're prone to it, and that two of the most important things to remember on your first jump are to arch your body during freefall, like a badminton birdie, and to keep your feet up upon landing. "The landings are generally pretty soft," he says. "It's kind of like sliding into home plate." There are several dropzones, or skydiving businesses, in Kansas and around Kansas City. Most offer first-time tandem skydives at about $200, and some offer seasonal, student, scheduling or other discounts. Some quick Googling will help you find the best prices and locations. Hebbell says there are a million reasons to go skydiving, whether you do it for the adrenaline, comradery or a sense of accomplishment. nic isitpus day s comedic views while appear- o and television Steve Hofstetter to the University end for a funda on Pi.

JAYPLAY = 11.01.2007 feature feature CULTURE SHOCK Traveling far from home can jolt your system and derail your confidence, but it doesn’t have to. Just follow these steps. By Seongbae Cheon 12 Diji Nwaneri came to the United States when he was 15 years old. When Nwaneri, Abuja, Nigeria junior, went to his junior high school for the first time, one of his classmates asked him where he came from. He answered without hesitation. Unfortunately, the classmate didn't know of a country called Nigeria. Nwaneri repeated Nigeria several times, and then finally gave up. He finally just said, "I'm from Africa." The classmate smiled and said, "No, you are living." After that day, Nwaneri felt embarrassed whenever someone asked him where he was from. A few years later, even after he had "No you aren't, because you're wearing clothes!" "Why? I'm really from Africa," Nwaneri answered,confused. "I'm from Nigeria." These days, people travel to other countries for many reasons: to travel, study abroad, take business trips or to have an unforgettable honeymoon. Culture shock could ruin your new adventure, but don't be scared; it is easily conquered as long as you know some basic tips. Here are six tips provided by various experts to help you overcome culture shock. This is a typical example of culture shock. Generally speaking, culture shock occurs when someone moves from a familiar environment, says Kathy Mulnazzi director of Small World, a nonprofit organization in Lawrence that helps international women learn English and American customs. made many American friends, he says he was frustrated by everything around him. 1. Don't look back once you've jumped The first step to overcoming culture shock is to have a firm mind and clear goals. When you leave your familiar environment, there is a natural tendency to look back if you have a hard time adjusting, Mulinazzi says. Being in a different country can be scary at times, and it's tempting to wonder what you were thinking when you decided to go in the first place. "If you discipline yourself to see what happens to you as an opportunity to learn and grow, even the so-called bad experiences turn out not to be. You actually do learn and grow," says Ellen Fields, co-owner of www.yucatanliving.com. A web site she and her husband developed to help immigrants adjust to the culture of the Yucatan region of TYPICAL CULTURE SHOCK MODEL: Step 2: The Distress Stage Nothing you’re experiencing feels new anymore. You feel torn between your old and new culture. You also realize that familiar things are not easily accessible. Step 1: The Honeymoon Stage You are willing to take any adventure and face the obstacles. Everything around you seems curious and exciting. Step 2: The Distress Stage Step 3: Re-integration Stage You have a hard time accepting cultural differences. During this stage, you start to build up stereotypes about the host country and start to idealize life "back home." You become angry at everything around you including food, language and culture. It is often the case that you reject those as inferior. It takes time to reach this stage, but once you've reached it, you have yourself a new home! You feel comfortable and confident to be there and able to appreciate both the differences and similarities of your new culture. Step 4: Autonomv Stage This is the eye-opening stage. You start to accept your fate and become yourself again. You start to look at both sides and accept the differences. You become more confident and no longer feel isolated. You start to appreciate where you are. Source: http://moving.about.com/od/internationalmoves/a/culture_short.htm Step 5: Independence Stage If you go into the experience determined to adjust, you are already halfway to conquering your new world. 2. Practice and improve your language skills The ability to communicate with native people plays a huge role in your success in adjusting to a new culture, Mulinazzi says. Even a talkative person is silenced if he doesn't know the language. You suddenly become speechless, and lose your self-esteem, making it easy for others to think that you are either stupid or shy. This dramatic change of personality can often lead to depression. You also shouldn't be overconfident about coping with the language when you get to your destination. If you think, "I will pick up the language when I go there," or "People will understand me even if my French is bad," you are likely to be disappointed when you find out people might not be as patient as you anticipated. Speaking a foreign language in front of native speakers is nerve-racking.

Don't be afraid to be a laughingstock 赤山景区服务指南！ Whether you like it or not, you will likely be laughed at when you go to another country. Just like Nawater's experience, it will always seem like there is a person who wants to make your life harder. No matter how fluent you are in a language, it's nearly impossible to know every little detail about the culture and language. You will say "Your mother has a green potato face" when you meant to say "You sure look nice today." People might think you are weird or rude, but the important thing is that you always learn from your mistakes, says Fields, the co-owner of www.yucatanliving.com. "Be willing to be foolish. If you don't already know the language or the culture, you're going to make a faux-pass every other day." Fields says. "Laugh at yourself and don't be hurt if people laugh at your mistakes." 4. Learn the culture and history of your new home Rather than asking yourself, "Why don't they do things more like my country?" accept your new environment and culture. Start looking at both sides and learn the history of your new home. It is essential to have a positive attitude SYMPTOMS OF CULTURE SHOCK: - Sadness and loneliness •Preoccupation with health •Changes in personality and loss of identity •Trying too hard to absorb everything in the new culture or country •Feeling vulnerable and powerless •Developing stereotypes about the new culture •Homesickness Identifying with the old culture or idealizing the old country Source: Carmen Guanpo, assistant professor of counseling and school psychology at the San Diego State University. about new cultures and to learn actively about local history and tradition. Mulinaazzi says. However, learning doesn't have to be a chore—thank goodness for television. When Nick Schaffer, Oklahoma City junior, went to Japan to study abroad, he found TV incredibly useful. He says it taught him traditions and essential Japanese etiquette. "It pretty much taught me everything I needed to learn about Japanese culture," Schaffer says. "It's amazing how much you learn from watching TV even if you don't understand the language." Yould probably expect to feel relieved and relaxed when you return home. Although hearing your native language on the street and seeing a familiar environment could make you feel comfortable, it is common to find reverse culture shock awaiting you upon returning. When Sanae Eda, a professor of Japanese language at KU who's also from Japan, visited Japan after 15 years of staying in the United States, 5. Watch out for reverse culture shock Dustin Luthr, Olathe junior, who studied abroad in Japan, says he had a reverse culture shock when he came back to Kansas. Having stayed in a big city, Tokyo, for only six weeks, he felt like Kansas was empty and less friendly when he returned. she had all kinds of culture shock in her native country. She says she was especially shocked when she was interacting with Japanese people because of their tendency to care too much about details. 6. Be open-minded During the first part of your stay, you will experience what is often called the "honeymoon" stage. Everything around you is new and exciting. You will probably be too busy to notice negative things It's inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable and depressed while you adjust to your new environment, but the difference between success and failure in adjustment comes from your point of view, Mulinazzi says. about the new culture. Then, after a few months, reality kicks in. All of a sudden, you make a phone call makes you nervous. You feel just like Alice in Wonderland. This can lead to a negative symptom of culture shock stereotyping. "All Americans are lazy and arrogant." "Every New Yorker is rude." But we know this isn't true. Always have open mind even if someone gives you a hard time. In other words, culture shock should not be feared, but enjoyed. "If you take a close look at culture shock it isn't really as negative a term as it sounds. Running into new cultures not only allows you to better enjoy the experience while you stay in a new environment. The contrasts allow you to better understand your own culture upon returning," Romey says.

TOMORROW'S NEWS HIGH-TECH T'S A few short years from now, the predicament of a dying cell phone could be solved with the help of your shirt. That's right, your clothing could have the capacity to charge electronics. Researchers at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Australia are in the middle of designing a shirt that generates an electrical charge through human movement. These high-tech get-ups will be able to refuel your MP3 players, Blackberries, and any other portable device. How does this work? The shirts are made of a material called piezoelectric, which has the capacity to create an electric field through mechanical force.Energy from simple human movements is stored and essentially acts as a battery for your electronics. CSIRO, which received a $4.4 million grant to work on this project, anticipates the shirts could be available in five years.

But his business plan for a bilingual tanning salon has won a national award and earned him a $2,000 renewable four-year scholarship. Mata, a Kansas City, Kan., freshman majoring in business management, won first place at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Bizfest, a competition and training program for high school and college students interested in a career in business. The competition, which ran from Sept. 19-22 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, required students to create a business plan complete with financial information. But Mata was, at one time, without a plan at all. In regionals last spring, Mata, a then-high school senior, was still searching for the right were due. One of his trainers opened a phone book and on it were ads for tanning salons. Mata began his research at about midnight and stayed up until 4 a.m. working on his new plan. Mata's late-night work paid off, however, as he finished second at regionals. "I was confident in myself when I presented it," he said. "So that's what helped me. I didn't think I was going to place second, but I thought I'd be in the top three." Mata said the concept of a bilingual tanning salon was incorporated because he speaks Spanish and English and thought the salon would be better equipped to serve customers. At the Bizfest finals in September, Mata was again up until the wee hours of the morning getting more accurate financial numbers in regards to loans, rent, utility bills and other expenses. Mata was rewarded again but this time with the first-place award. "I guess I work better under pressure," he In addition to the award and scholarship, Mata has been offered an all-expensespaid trip to attend the USHCC Legislative Conference in March, an internship this summer with the USHCC in Washington, D.C., and another summer internship with Sprint. Mata said one of the things he learned from the competition was the importance of networking. He said meeting people from Sprint and Google helped him learn a great deal about managing finances of big businesses. Mata said in the future he wanted to work in international business. Susana Rodriguez, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, also competed at Bizfest. Rodriguez, a French and pre-medicine major, submitted a business plan called HealthCARE for All. It featured a clinic for Hispanics and uninsured people. She said she chose that idea because a year ago her dad was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and his medical coverage expired, mak- "In Puerto Rico I met so many people that I have a lot in common with, and we still keep in touch," she said. Rodriquez did not place at nationals but said she made new friends and enjoyed networking with business professionals. Carlos Gomez, president and CEO of the Greater Kansas City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said that during the past five years Kansas City-area students had routinely placed in the top three of the competition but never first until this year. "They did tremendous," he said. "We are very proud of them." Rodriquez, who might someday want to open her own clinic, offered a suggestion to those interested in a business career: Always ask for the business cards of people you meet. "You never know when you might need to contact them," she said. Julio Mata, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, won a renewable $2,000 scholarship for his business model for a bilingual tanning salon. Mata won the first place award at Riffest national's September in San Juan. Andrew Wacker/KANSAN 11. 01.2007 = JAYPLAY scene GET TO KNOW YOUR LOCAL PARKS With so many parks to choose from, you might have trouble deciding which ones to visit. The blazing Kansas summer is nowhere to be found; fall is now upon us. Leaves have turned red and blustery breezes have replaced warm winds, which makes this season the perfect time to appreciate your outdoor surroundings. Instead of relying on electronic devices and fermented beverages to pass the time, visit the 52 beautiful parks in Lawrence once in a while before winter comes. Parks are for everybody regardless of age or gender. You can relax, let go of your stress, and take in the beauty of nature, which is often taken for granted, says Roger Steinbrock, marketing supervisor of Lawrence Parks By Songbae Cheon WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PARK IN LAWRENCE? PARK GARDEN Robyn Lee, Lawrence junior Favorite Park Off-leash Dog Park "I like to take my dogs and walk around there. It's good place." good place to sit and watch the dogs play."

Bottom: The garden is an excellent place for relaxation and mediation and has many plants such as Japanese maples, cherry trees and bamboo to correlate with the Asian atmosphere. and Recreation Department. Let me introduce some of Lawrence's best parks. CENTENNIAL PARK 600 ROCKLEDGE ROAD Centennial Park is one of the best-known parks among college students because of its disc golf course, Steinbrock says. Because it provides many sources of entertainment, this park has acquired many nicknames: Rocket Park, Skate Park and Frisbee Golf Park to name a few. The name Rocket Park comes from the Polaris missile that was constructed during the Cold War, and the park is also known for its large skate park located on the west side, which attracts hundreds of skate lovers every day. Another entertaining aspect of this park is the 18-hole disc golf course. The sport shares similar characteristics and rules with traditional golf, but it uses a flying disc instead of golf balls and clubs. It's much easier to learn and takes little money to play. The game is designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages regardless of their economic status, says Morris Judd, member of the Professional Disc Golf Association. JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP GARDEN 1045 MASSACHUSETTS ST. If you are looking for an exotic place to meditate, or need a quiet oasis when you are shopping downtown, visit the Japanese Friendship Garden. The park is relatively small compared to other parks, but it's the perfect place to let your body and mind rest. Jacob Swartwout, Belleville, Ill., junior, visits the garden from time to time. He says the garden puts him into a perfect mood to think over complicated matters. Various objects, such as stone sculptures, and plants, like Japanese maples, cherry trees and bamboo, add to the Asian atmosphere. This aesthetic garden was built to celebrate ALL PHOTOS BY JESSICA CRABAUGH the 10-year anniversary of Lawrence's relationship with its sister city, Hiratsuka, Japan. Representatives from Hiratsuka came to Lawrence to help design and plan the park several years ago. The staff of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department worked with them to create this exotic garden. The city of Hiratsuka also shipped two major pieces from Japan; a lantern and a human-sized stone tower. "The gorgeous atmosphere here helps me capture piece of mind," Swartwout says. SOUTH PARK 1141 MASSACHUSETTS ST. Located in the heart of downtown, South Park is the oldest park in Lawrence. It was founded in 1854 as part of the original town site. It is probably utilized the most in Lawrence as the venue for many public concerts and community events like The Fall Arts and Crafts Festival, Steinbrock says. Weddings are often held here, as well, because of the beautiful scenery, including a fountain and flower gardens. Incidentally, the fountain is of historical significance. It dates back to 1910 when President Teddy Roosevelt was present also help to create memories with friends and families.Parks provide a place for students to experience the other side of life—away from the textbook,* Steinbrock says. at its dedication.

That's where Wes Anderson's last film, The Life Aquatic, failed. He has always balanced serio-comic tales of dysfunction and ennui, but there was something too laconic and shaggy-dogged about Aquatic for any real emotional investment, especially because The Royal Tenenbaums found the perfect balance of tragedy and comedy. However, his new film, The Darjeeling Limited, cobbled together with co-writers Roman Coppola and Jason Swartzman, maintains its introspective tone without undercutting it with non-sequiters and indulgent set pieces. Three brothers meet on the Darjeeling Limited, a long-range train through India. Having not spoken to each other in more than a year—since their father's death—Francis Whitman (Owen Wilson) arranges MEREDITH CANTERBURY SHE ALMOST DEFINITELY CHANGED THE WORLD THE DARJEELING LIMITED A WES ANDERSON FILM this trip to bring his estranged brothers closer. Jack (Jason Swartzman) is an expatriate writer running from his lover. Peter (Adrien Brody) is uneasy about his life, facing upcoming fatherhood. All suffer from spiritual emptiness and self-medicate themselves through sex, social withdrawal, and Indian "cough syrup." The dialogue remains witty, dry and detached; the story and overall presentation never borders the pretentiousness of Anderson's last film. Rather, The Darjeeling Limited, though building from the same song Anderson has singing since Bottle Rocket, feels less cluttered by his aesthetic choices and more open to space. It's a freer movie, reminding us that Anderson—for better or worse—is still one of the most original voices in American cinema. Bickering between the brothers gets them kicked off the train, rendering Francis' laminated itineraries useless. Faced with the problem of getting back to civilization, their real walkabout begins, constituting some of the film's most poignant scenes. Anderson asserts that the journey that happens instead of the journey you plan is the one that really matters. Even a mapped-out spirit quest can lead to moments of self-discovery, especially when you stop trying to get with the plan and get with the plan.

But his business plan for a bilingual tanning salon has won a national award and earned him a $2,000 renewable four-year scholarship. Mata, a Kansas City, Kan., freshman majoring in business management, won first place at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Bizfest, a competition and training program for high school and college students interested in a career in business. The competition, which ran from Sept. 19-22 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, required students to create a business plan complete with financial information. But Mata was, at one time, without a plan at all. In regionals last spring, Mata, a then-high school senior, was still searching for the right business idea just hours before presentations were due. One of his trainers opened a phone book and on it were ads for tanning salons. Mata began his research at about midnight and stayed up until 4 a.m. working on his new plan. Mata's late-night work paid off, however, as he finished second at regionals. "I was confident in myself when I presented it," he said. "So that's what helped me. I didn't think I was going to place second, but I thought I'd be in the top three." Mata said the concept of a bilingual tanning salon was incorporated because he speaks Spanish and English and thought the salon would be better equipped to serve customers. At the Bizfest finals in September, Mata was again up until the wee hours of the morning getting more accurate financial numbers in regards to loans, rent, utility bills and other expenses. Mata was rewarded again but this time with the first-place award. "I guess I work better under pressure," he said. In addition to the award and scholarship, Mata has been offered an all-expensespaid trip to attend the USHCC Legislative Conference in March, an internship this summer with the USHCC in Washington, D.C., and another summer internship with Sprint Mata said one of the things he learned from the competition was the importance of networking. He said meeting people from Sprint and Google helped him learn a great deal about managing finances of big businesses. Mata said in the future he wanted to work in international business. Susana Rodriguez, Kansas City, Kan, freshman, also competed at Bizfest. Rodriguez, a French and pre-medicine major, submitted a business plan called HealthCARE for All. It featured a clinic for Hispanics and uninsured people. She said she chose that idea because a year ago her dad was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and his medical coverage expired, making his doctor visits difficult and expensive. Rodriquez did not place at nationalss but said she made new friends and enjoyed networking with business professionals. "In Puerto Rico I met so many people that I have a lot in common with, and we still keep in touch," she said. Carlos Gomez, president and CEO of the Greater Kansas City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said that during the past five years Kansas City-area students had routinely placed in the top three of the competition but never first until this year. "They did tremendous," he said. "We are very proud of them." Rodriquez, who might someday want to open her own clinic, offered a suggestion to those interested in a business career: Always ask for the business cards of people you meet. "You never know when you might need to contact them," she said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Fans rally support for football team editor@kansan.com BY KATE AUGUST As the University gears up for homecoming 2007, students are coming together to show off their school spirit. Today is Crimson and Blue Day on Wescoe Beach. Anyone wearing crimson and blue on campus can stop by for free goodies from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This year's items include Jayhawk stickers, pompoms, Jayhawk tattoos, hot chocolate and crimson and blue beads. In addition to winning prizes for showing their school spirit, students can wish the football team good luck by signing the good luck banner. The banner will be featured in the Homecoming Parade the next day. Morgan Shirley, Overland Park senior and a member of the Homecoming Steering Committee, is confident that the event will pump up students for the homecoming game the following day. "This event is low-key but intended to keep spirits high prior to the big football game and help increase school spirit," Shirley said. Matt Galbraith, Leawood sophomore, already has his outfit picked out for Friday's events. "I am going to wear a crimson T-shirt and a blue hat," he said. "I want to make sure both colors are represented." "Our traditions and chant are next to none, which makes our school so much more charged with spirit than However, the colors mean more to him than just a potential outfit. other universities." Galbraith said. Participating in her first homecoming, Kirsten Devin, Omaha, Neb., freshman, is enthused for the various activities throughout the week, especially Crimson and Blue Day and the signing of the good luck banner. "KU spirit goes deeper than the symbol of the Jayhawk," she said. "Crimson and blue run in my blood. Dressing up in my University's colors is an outward sign of my great KU pride." Tonia Salas, Wichita freshman, agreed with her sentiment. "I take personal pride in being a student at KU, and I jump at every opportunity I get to show my KU spirit," Salas said. "I am excited to dress in my best crimson and blue apparel on Friday." Frances Lafferty, Overland Park freshman, will be one of the students at Wescoe on Friday to sign the good luck banner. "It is good for them [the football players] to know that the students at KU are behind them no matter what happens during Saturday's game," Lafferty said. The encouragement and support of the students is motivation for the football team. Chea Peterman, a redshirt freshman from Little Rock, Ark., can't wait until next year when he gets a chance to play in front of the University fans. "Playing with a full student section will definitely get me pumped for the game," he said. "KU students have a lot of spirit which makes me want to win." Edited by Jeff Briscoe correction Thad Holcombe, pastor for Ecumenical Christian Ministries, was misidentified in Thursday's homecoming story "Campus chapel is popular place to tie the knot." David Mucci, director of the Kansas Union, said they caught the employee when Nona Golledge, director of food services, saw that receipts from the credit card contained purchases from improper places. According to KU Public Safety reports between Oct. 12 and Oct. 28, the employee, a purchasing assistant, used the Union credit card to make $1,080,61 worth of purchases. He used the credit card at Target, Ray's Liquor Warehouse, Wal-Mart and Motel 6. The employee's job was to purchase items necessary for the Union's dining operations. "I'm not sure what precipitated this development," Mucci said. "It happened in a concentrated period, and the good news is we saw it quickly. We should be able to avoid the charges." CRIME BRIEF Employee fired after misuse of credit card Mucci said he was unsure how long the employee had been working for the Union but it had been "a while." The employee typically made purchases with the credit card every week. Mucci said this was the first time a credit card had been improperly used during his eight years at the Union. To prevent an incident like this from happening again, Mucci said the Kansas Union was reviewing its procedures and would reduce access to its credit cards. He said the Kansas Union would likely start using credit cards that can only be used for one specific vendor. An employee of the Kansas Union was terminated for making improper purchases on the Union's credit card.

Alpha Epsilon Pi is holding a --fundraiser with Hofstetter as the host at 4 p.m. Sunday in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

"It's specifically targeted to raise money for our house repairs and for new programming events for our brothers," Krengel said. Marc Kingston, Wembley, England, sophomore and Alpha Epsilon Pi rush chairman, began planning Hofstetter's show and a fundraiser as two separate events a year ago before deciding to merge the two together. "We thought it would be a fun idea to use his show as a fundraiser for our fraternity," Kingston said. "Most fundraisers usually are involved with selling T-shirts or something along those lines. We thought we could do something a little different and use a well-known comedian to help raise us money" com. He also has written for Maxim, ESPN and Sports Illustrated For Kids magazines in the past. Each year he tours more than 100 college campuses to perform his comedy routine. In 2004 he was nominated for Comedian of the Year by the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities. Hofstetter, who graduated from Columbia University in 2002 as a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, is a regular columnist for SportsIllustrated. "Steve was referred to us by many other campuses, and we only heard great things about him, so we wanted to have the chance to bring him to KU" Krengel said. Krengel said word of mouth among college students had increased Hofstetter's popularity. SUA employees said tickets were still available at the SUA box office.

Chappell, director of Recreation Services, solved her problem and can now listen to the Kansan over the phone. She requested that Audio-Reader, a telephone and radio print and information service for the visually impaired, add the Kansan to its daily recordings. In January, faculty at Audio-Reader were able to accomplish this, and they now have a full staff of volunteers who record The Kansan Monday through Friday mornings and Jayplay on Thursdays. Audio-Reader now also carries the Oread magazine, a publication of the Office of University Relations. Chappell now listens to The Kansan every day. "With a large campus like KU, you never know about all the services out there until something big impacts your life," Chappell said. "With a large campus like KU, you never know about all the services out there until something big impacts your life." MARY CHAPPELL Recreation Services director Jennifer Nigro, AudioReader volunteer coordinator, said that the service added The Kansan to its recordings because of Chappell's request but that they had received a lot of positive feedback from others. Audio-Reader, which is available in Kansas and western Missouri, already had publications such as The Kansas City Star and The Wichita Eagle available through its telephone service. Listeners can call into the telephone line and enter their user ID numbers and security numbers to access the newspapers. George McCoy, Audio-Reader telephone reader supervisor, said he thought The Kansan provided an interesting change from commercially owned publications. "Offering the UDK on telephone reader allows listeners all over Kansas and parts of Missouri to keep up with campus events and campus life and also gives a viewpoint on KU that's not always available in the mainstream media," McCoy said. Each weekday, a volunteer comes into the studio between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. to record The Kansan, which takes one to two hours. McCoy said he tried to have the material recorded on the telephone line by 10 a.m. "We want the listeners to be able to experience the morning news in the morning when it's still fresh, if we can?" McCoy said. Students who want to volunteer with Audio-Reader can visit reader. ku.edu for more information.

The legislation cleared the Senate on a vote of 64-30. It passed the House last week, but supporters were shy of the two-thirds majority needed to override Bush's threatened veto. "We're convinced that the president has undermined an effort to protect children," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said shortly before the vote. "Congress has known for weeks that the President would veto this bill," White House press secretary Dana Perino countered in a statement shortly after the vote. "Now Congress should get back to work on legislation that covers poor children and stop using valuable floor time to make partisan statements." promise that could attract enough votes in the House to override Bush's veto.

The program currently provides benefits to roughly 6 million children. "We're convinced that the president has undermined an effort to protect children." At a cost of $35 billion, the bill would be paid for through an increase in tobacco taxes, including "Congress has known for weeks that the President would veto this bill. Now Congress should get back to work on legislation that covers poor children." DANA PERINO White House press secretary Democrats failed to override his veto on a vote of 273-156, 13 short of the two-thirds majority they needed. In response, Democrats launched a replacement measure, incorporating changes they said were designed to meet Republican objections to their first offering. But Bush dismissed those efforts this week, telling a business audience, "If Congress sends this bill a 61-cent rise on a package of cigarettes.

A day earlier, the president told House Republicans in a private meeting that he would veto any measure that raised Political polls show the children's health issue enjoys widespread support, and Democrats and their allies have moved quickly to exploit it for their advantage with television and radio commercials attacking Republicans who opposed the legislation. The result has been a growing nervousness among House Republicans looking ahead to the 2008 elections. The party's top leaders, Reps. John Boehner of Ohio and Roy Blunt of Missouri, joined the compromise negotiations in recent days. It is unlikely either of them would support a bill that raises taxes. Rather, officials said their intention was to coax as many concessions as possible from the Democrats so that the next measure would be one that other Republicans among the rank-and-file could comfortably support.

ASSOCIATED PRESS AWARDS Army ROTC honors alumni cconforon@kansan.com BY COURTNEY CONDRON Finding and identifying remains of American soldiers, such as teeth, bones, medals and letters, is the goal of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command. Eighty-eight thousand Americans are still missing or unaccounted for from previous U.S. conflicts. The command has recovery and investigation missions in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Europe. Michael Flowers, brigadier general and U.S. commander of the accounting command, negotiates with leaders of foreign countries about doing excavations and searches for remains in their countries. Circuit Court Budget Committee, will be inducted into the Army ROTC Hall of Fame on Saturday. "It's important because folks in the military are pretty much told that the army will not leave anyone behind," Flowers said. Flowers, a 1977 KU graduate, spoke to the Army ROTC yesterday about his job, leadership and the important things to remember while serving. Flowers, along with two other alumni, Edward Reilly, chairman of the United States Parole Commission, and Judge J. Miles Sweeney, vice chairman of the "When I graduated my intentions were to serve my four years of commitment and get out of the service, so this is an honor," Flowers said. The three inductees will attend a ceremony before the football game and will join the Hall of Fame. Eleven other alumni have been inducted into the hall since it was started two years ago. Tyler Able, Billings, Mont., senior and Army publications officer, said. "We want to get them to realize that their achievements have not been forgotten." John Basso, ROTC professor and lieutenant colonel, said that the Hall of Fame was created to help foster a strong sense of tradition. "We want the cadets to realize that they are certainly not the first to go through this program," Basso said. Sweeney has tried more than 300 jury trials and has implemented local improvements in the jury system. Reilly is also a member of the American Correctional Association, the Association of Paroling Authorities International and the National Association of Chiefs of Police. Flowers was deployed during several military operations, including Operation Desert Storm. He continues to travel and oversee the mission of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command. The command was the only organization in the world working to discover soldiers' remains, until it helped Korea form its own organization last January. More than 1,300 soldiers have been identified through dental records, DNA samples and other methods and returned to their families.

I saw this on a T-shirt on Massachusetts Street, and immediately I knew—the man wearing it knew what he was talking about. Maybe he he was trying to make a statement, or perhaps it was just a joke, but I, for one, can relate to the sentiment. "Local music" is a term used much too often around Lawrence and other hip college towns that just isn't worth much anymore. I've come to the conclusion that it's just another name for subpar musicianship; a hollow buzzer that has little meaning or an excuse to be indie-pop-rock-folk-inspired (whatever the hell that means). Walk into any bar downtown on any given night and you'll hear what I'm talking about. I must have heard the phrase "support local music" at least 1,000 times in the last year, and every time I hear it I am confused as to what they really mean. Is music some sort of domestic product that must be subsidized to get the Lawrence economy back on its feet? Is there some sort of pseudo-farmer's market where we should be shopping instead of the record store? Or do they mean that we, as citizens of Lawrence, should cultivate homegrown bands so that future generations can be just as good at it as we are, like football? Perhaps it simply means that we should attend concerts because our roommate's girlfriend's new puppy's veterinarian is in a band, and they are, like, totally far-out, man. The problem with supporting local music is that, quite simply, most of it is awful. To be fair, there is a small amount of musicians who are talented and dedicated to producing quality work, but for every good band there are at least 10 bad ones whose only draw is that they dress in gaudy leftover Halloween costumes with homemade instruments or warbling singersongwriters doing their best to imitate Jack Johnson. Is it good to support something that is just plain bad? But I do not wish to discriminate just against Lawrencian mediocrity. This town is a microcosm of the global descent of popular music in recent decades. So much has changed since the golden age of rock. Instead of eminent and charismatic frontmen, we now have "American Idol" wannabes and singers who sound like crying pre-pubescents, and instead of virtuosic guitar riffs and drummers playing until they pass out (R.I.P. Keith Moon), we have accordions and girls dressed in giant banana outfits. This is not music. This is cheap theater. After the glorified outbreak of pop in the 1950s and '60s, things slowly went downhill. After the excess and decadence of '70s music, the '80s were a quick descent into hair bands and Michael Jackson, two things that are best forgotten, lest one have constant nightmares. The early '90s were a grungy glimmer of hope quickly quashed by big label ferocity. And now, while the Indie scene is burgeoning, rock 'n' roll is quietly dying. Why must we continue to propagate the dead genre that once was "Indie?"" It was a nice thought but has long since run its course. Indie is no longer an innovation. Sounding vaguely like a Lennon/McCartney tune does not make a good melody. Volume does not equal rock 'n' roll. Having a glass-shattering falsetto or indestructible vocal chords does not make you better than Bob Dylan. And neither does not being anything else. Just because you claim to defy genre (hear me now, Beck!) does not make you, by default, a good musician. So don't be browbeaten into thinking that just because you aren't into the "scene" around town, that you don't know music. It's a terrible lie supported by cooler-than-thou hipsters who have nothing better to do than make you feel bad about yourself. So turn off the new Devendra Banhart album and any local band that has more than three made-up words in its name, and turn up your Stravinsky, Coltrane, Robert Johnson and Rolling Stones records. You won't be disappointed. And then perhaps we can get to the task of recognizing and creating some decent music for the next generation. Petterson is a Prairie Village junior in English. DRAWING BOARD AND NOW DOCTOR BANNER WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. MARC LANGSTON AND CLARISSA UNGER LETTER TO THE EDITOR O n behalf of all the students on our campus and throughout the country who are civically active, we acknowledge that there is some youth that are apathetic toward politics, but there are many who are not. The article that was run in the Kansan regarding apathy among young voters was not only offensive to those of us who are politically active, but simply not news. This country knows that youth from the ages of 18-24 have the lowest voter turnout rate, but according to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning, in 2004 youth reversed a historic decline with an 11 percent voting increase. The unprecedented involvement and excitement amongst youth is the real news of the day. Students are playing a much more integral role in presidential campaigns as there are currently three officially registered groups on campus dedicated to presi- dental candidates. Campaigns are for the first time ever instituting entire divisions of their campaigns dedicated to students. Students on this campus are volunteer for campaign, canvassing student housing areas and traveling to Iowa to canvass. While some students are still abstaining from civic engagement, this is the perfect time for all students to realize their ability to bring about positive change. It is becoming popular and exciting to be involved in our country's future.

Smith 6A NEWS 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2007 WORLD ASSOCIATED PRESS AIR Riot police officers protect themselves as university students protest in Caracas, Venezuela, on Thursday. Troops used tear gas and water cannons to disperse demonstrators who turned out by the tens of thousands to protest constitutional reforms that would permit President Huqo Chavez to run for re-election indefinitely. Students protest derailed democracy BY CHRISTOPHER TOOTHAKER ASSOCIATED PRESS CARACAS, Venezuela Soldiers used tear gas, plastic bullets and water cannons to scatter tens of thousands who massed Thursday to protest constitutional reforms that would permit Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to run for re-election indefinitely. Led by university students, protesterschanted "Freedom! Freedom!" and warned that 69 amendments drafted by the Chavista-dominated National Assembly would violate civil liberties and derail democracy. It was the biggest turnout against Chavez in months, and appeared to revive Venezuela's languid opposition at a time when the president seems as strong as ever. Students promised more street demonstrations over the weekend, but no opposition-led protests were planned for Friday. "This is a dictatorship masked as democracy," said Jorge Rivas, an 18-year-old student. "Chavez wants our country to be like Cuba, and we're not going to allow that to occur." Authorities broke up the protest outside the headquarters of the country's electoral council, reporting that six police officers and one student were injured. But students said dozens of protesters were hurt during the melee. The local Globovision television network broadcast footage of several police beating an unarmed protester with billy clubs. Student leader Freddy Guevara said it was not immediately clear how many students were arrested, and he urged local human rights groups to help verify the number of detained protesters. Students hurled rocks and bottles, and a few lifted up sections of metal barricades and thrust them against police holding riot shields. Students retreated later when police fired plastic bullets. Rock-throwing between students and Chavez supporters continued at a nearby university campus. "Chavez wants to remain in power his entire life, and that's not democracy," said Gonzalo Rommer, a 20-year-old student who joined protesters marching to the National Elections Council. Deputy Justice Minister Tarek El Aissami blamed students for the violence, saying they forced their way through police barricades. But Vicente Diaz, one of five National Election Council directors, accused National Guardmen and police of using excessive force to disperse protesters. "We absolutely condemn the behavior of the authorities," Diaz said. The amendments would give the government control over the Central Bank, create new types of cooperative property, allow authorities to detain citizens without charge during a state of emergency and extend presidential terms from six to seven years allowing Chavez to run again in 2012. To take effect, the reforms must be approved by voters in a Dec. 2 referendum. >> STATE District Court could dismiss abortion case BY ROXANA HEGEMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS Wichita doctor claims innocence WICHITA — Sedgwick County District Judge Clark V. Owens will hear arguments Friday on a motion by abortion provider George Tiller to dismiss the 19 misdemeanor charges Attorney General Paul Morrison filed against him. In voluminous court documents. Tiller also raised numerous other arguments. Morrison filed charges against Tiller in June for allegedly failing to get an independent second opinion on some late-term abortions as required by Kansas law. Tiller maintains his innocence. The hearing is scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday at the Sedgwick County Courthouse. The bulk of the arguments at issue already have been made in hefty court filings now before the judge. Among them, Tiller's lawyers told the judge the Kansas referring physician requirement violates a citizen's liberty to travel in interstate commerce. They called it an unconstitutional restriction on privileges and immunities guaranteed every citizen. And they claimed it violated the due process clause under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. They content no other medical procedure requires a concurring opinion, and argued the statute as applied violates a woman's right to obtain an abortion. They also called it unconstitutionally vague. Attorney for the embattled Wichita doctor argued in court papers that Kansas law, which requires a referral from a second physician before a viable fetus can be aborted, creates an unconstitutional burden on a physician's right to practice medicine. In response, Morrison argued that the Kansas Legislature, through statute, expressed a strong interest in protecting potential life, and chose to demonstrate that interest by requiring an unbiased second opinion before a viable fetus could be legally aborted. Morrison said requiring a second opinion regarding the injury a woman would sustain if she carried a pregnancy to term was not an undue burden on a woman's right to choose. He contended the statute was constitutional. The Kansas attorney general cited the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding a nationwide ban on an abortion procedure. The divided court ruled in April that the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that Congress passed and President Bush signed into law in 2003 does not violate a woman's right to choose. That decision had been widely seen as an opening for additional restrictions on abortion rights. In his court filings, Morrison cited that case and others to bolster his contention that the state has a substantial interest in protecting human life — especially once the point of viability is reached. Morrison also cited a federa court ruling that upheld a similar law in Montana that requires a second doctor's opinion before a viable fetus can be aborted. As for Tiller's argument that no other medical procedure requires a second opinion, Morrison responded that no other medical procedure involves the "purposeful termination of a potential life." 》 COURTS Bush defends attorney general nomination BY LAURIE KELLMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Bush sought to save Michael Mukasey's troubled nomination for attorney general Thursday, defending the retired judge's refusal to say whether he considers waterboarding torture and warning of a leaderless Justice Department if Democrats don't confirm him. "Iif the Senate Judiciary Committee were to block Judge Mukasey on these grounds, they would set a new standard for confirmation that could not be met by any responsible nominee for attorney general," Bush said in a speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. America would have no attorney general during this time of war," the President said. "That would guarantee that Nonetheless, opposition continued to grow. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., became the fourth of 10 Democrats on the 19-member Judiciary Committee to declare he will vote against Mukasey when the panel decides Tuesday whether to endorse or reject his nomination. Kennedy said Mukasey's unwillingness to say that waterboarding, an interrogation technique that simulates drowning, is torture increases the chances that it will be used against U.S. troops. "Judge Mukasey appears to be a careful, conscientious and intelligent lawyer and he has served our country honorably for many years," Kennedy said in a Senate speech announcing his opposition. "But those qualities are not enough for this critical position at this critical time." Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., planned to announce Friday how he will vote next week. Bush framed Mukasey's nomination with the familiar theme of national security and the attorney general's role in it. "It's important for Congress to pass laws and/or confirm nominees that will enable this government to more effectively defend the country and pursue terrorists and radicals that would like to do us harm," the president said earlier Thursday during a rare Oval Office session with reporters. The comments raised questions about whether Bush would nominate anyone else to succeed Alberto Gonzales as the nation's top law enforcer. Bush could bypass Congress by filling the job with someone serving in an acting capacity or appointing someone while lawmakers are in recess to serve out the last 14 months of his administration. Asked if Bush was saying he would not nominate anyone if Mukasey is rejected, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said, "We don't believe it would come to that. No nominee could meet the test they've presented." There is a way for Mukasey to get a full Senate vote even if committee Democrats are united in ASSOCIATED PRESS THE CITY Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., right, talks with Attorney General-designate Michael Mukasey on Capitol Hill in Washington on Thursday following Mukasey's second day of testifying before the committee's hearing on his nomination. President Bush accused Senate Democrats of being unfair in questioning the former judge about waterboarding. --- opposing him. The Senate Judiciary Committee could agree to advance the nomination with "no recommendation," allowing Mukasey to be confirmed by a majority of the 100-member Senate. Several vote-counters in each party said Mukasey probably would get 70 "yes" votes.

Although these numbers are stunning, Corso still is not impressed. So what is the basis for Corso's ideas? His biased opinions are formulated on the basis that the Jayhawks were once a terrible team, are not in the SEC and that the SEC is the nation's best conference. In case he hasn't noticed, the Big 12 North is flourishing without any recognition or respect, with two teams ranked in every top 10 poll and potentially five that could become bowl-eligible, if Nebraska can find another victory Little did Mr. Corso know, we beat a decent Colorado team in Boulder, Colo., and would later that day beat a good Texas A&M team in a hostile College Station, Texas. The lack of respect Corso gives the Jayhawks stems from the same superiority complex that the rest of the media has for historically good programs. So for those who endeavor to find real college football entertainment, look no further than the resurgence of the easy-to-enjoy Kansas layhawks. Although Corso will continue to be the guy at recess who goes double or nothing until he's lost his lunch, you should pick Kansas because it has shown superiority through it's record and the stats the team has put up. Although this is not a play to retreat from watching College GameDay, it is my call to arms. But much like Kansas, Boston College has won three games on the road — Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and Virginia Tech. Currently, only Virginia Tech is ranked. Three of the Eagles' home victories were against Army (3-5), Bowling Green (4-4) and Massachusetts (an FCS school). So is Boston College's schedule really that much better than Kansas? And although Kansas ranks high in statistical categories, Boston College trails and is out of the top 25 in all four mentioned earlier. That should count for something, right? Last week Corso made a statement when making his prediction that, "Texas A&M will win because Kansas has not played outside the state yet" and, "I am going to continue picking against them until I am right." KANSAS 5 24 STATE ABOVE, Senior guard Rodrick Stewart powers up for a basket. Stewart finished the game with 11 points. Kansan sportswriter Tyler Passmore can be reached at tpassmore@kansan. com. Corso loves to give his two cents about how good the Florida Gators (5-3), USC Trojans (6-2) and Auburn Tigers (6-3) are, but has the guts to say that the Kansas Jayhawks are not for real but rather a joke. Even after the Kansas defense gave up only 74 yards on the ground — four in the second half — to a rushing-offense juggernaut in Texas A&M, which averaged 260 yards per game entering the contest, I doubt Corso will change his derogatory tone. In further discussion, Corso announced that Boston College was the best team in college football. When trying to decipher the difference, look at the first major knock on Kansas: its strength of schedule. KANSAS 94, PITTSBURG STATE 59 BELOW, Sophomore guard Sherron Collins cheers on the Jayhawks as they take on Pittsburgh State in Allen Fieldhouse Thursday night. Kansas won their first game of the season 94-59. KAT 4 Self approves of victory, not defense BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Kansas coach Bill Self expressed disapproval about how his team's defense looked earlier this week. He said it lacked attention to detail. Pity the Jayhawks' opponent when they do figure out how to defend. For not being good enough, it showed "People think stealing the ball is playing the defense sometimes," Self said. "I'll watch the tape. I think we tried for the most part and were better, but when we really play well defensively, the team doesn't shoot 44 percent." After stealing the ball 15 times and forcing 24 turnovers in a 94-59 victory against Pittsburg State last night, did the defense look any better? The Sons of Steal, Sherron Collins, Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson, did most of the damage defensively, swiping the ball nine times. Those Jayhawks aren't first-time felons. They perfected the craft good enough, it showed flashes of brilliance. Nope. But Rodrick Stewart may have been the most impressive. "That's what Sherron said. Heck, he's 5-foot-9; he's never blocked anyone out in his life." Stewart tied Collins and Robinson with four steals Thursday night. It shouldn't have come as a surprise given that he loves defense. Stewart, a senior guard, boxed twice a day this summer. The sport put him in better shape and helped his hands. "My hands are so much quicker now" he said. "It definitely helped with the defense." or merevy last season, combining to average about five steals per game last year. Junior guard Mario Chalmers even set a school record for steals with 97. A lack of defense was also apparent by the rebounding margin. The Gorillas, who have no player taller than 6-foot-8, bullied the Jayhawks on the boards all night. They out rebounded Kansas 36 to 33. Self estimated that his players only rebounded the ball five times on the 30 shots they missed. said. It is definitely helped with the defense. But outside of the steals, Self said the defense wasn't tight enough. Pittsburg State scored several baskets when Kansas players didn't rotate in the post quickly enough. Collins said Kansas didn't box out well enough. Self said it was worse than that. BILL SELF Basketball coach "That's what Sherron said. Heck he's 5-foot-9, he never blocked anyone out in his life," Self said. "But I would say that's part of it but also just being active and going after the balls. A lot of it was rotation rebounding too when you help a teammate and the help doesn't help the helper." The game wasn't all full of negatives. Kansas jumped out with a 15-4 run to start the game and led 55-29 at half. The three-guard starting lineup that included Collins, Robinson and Chalmerz dazzled offensively, combining for eight threepointers and 15 assists. Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur didn't attempt a field goal in the first half before scoring eight points in the first six minutes of the second half. He finished with 12 points. The Jayhawks weren't perfect. They didn't rebound or play the best help defense, but the positives were there. Kansas showed a penchant for stealing like it has in the past. Arthur showed he could be a go-to-guy when he gets the ball, and the three guard lineup looked like a success. After one exhibition game, the players know they aren't where they need to be yet. "I think we took a chance," Collins said. "We can't waste any days. Every day you have to get better during these games. I think we took a step to getting better defensively. I think we did a pretty good job tonight. This team was a good team, but we're going to play a lot better teams." - Edited by Jeff Briscoe --- FOOTBALL Rival schools find reasons to be envious BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com This week provides an interesting prism with which to view the progress of Kansas' football resurgence. Behind the lajahwacks are the stumbling Texas A&M Aggies (6-3), a once-proud program that must beat either Oklahoma, Missouri or Texas in the season's waning weeks to be guaranteed even an invitation to a bowl game. Looming in front of Kansas are the fallen Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-6), a former powerhouse that could easily end its season with a losing record. Both schools are rumored to be moving closer to firing their coaches, Dennis Franchione and Bill Callahan, respectively, in the offseason. Franchione has gotten himself into trouble off the field after selling a high-priced secret newsletter containing information about the A&M football program to boosters, unbeknownst to the athletic department. The act, a possible NCAA violation, has brought as much scrutiny to the school as the team's poor performance. Callahan's departure, meanwhile, seems imminent. Nebraska fired Athletic Director Steve Pederson in mid-October, citing a lack of progress from the football program. Pederson's signature hire, Callahan, arrived in Lincoln four years ago. The school hired former coaching legend Tom Osborne as interim athletic director. KU N ATM Calls to the Nebraska Athletic Department by The University Daily Kansan seeking comment for this story were not returned. And then there's Kansas, 8-0 and off to its best start since 1909. The Jayhawks will be nearly three touchdown favorites when they take the field against the Cornhuskers on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Kansas Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the Athletics Department was not surprised by the team's start. "It's obvious that we haven't looked this good in at least a decade," Marchiony said. "But if we start thinking about that, that's when bad things start to happen. We are focused on Nebraska — not being 8-0 or where we are going to end up this season." It appears the impatient fan bases of Kansas' most recent and next opponents are focused on anything but the games. In College Station, Texas, the calls for Franchione's head have grown to a crescendo, according to Renee Bogard, a Texas A&M senior from Kansas City, Mo. Bogard frequently sees "Fire Fran" bumper stickers across campus. On Saturday, Bogard went to a Halloween party where a guest dressed as Franchione — complete with a maroon Adidas A&M shirt, slacks, a head full of spray-painted gray hair and the "Fire Fran" bumper sticker adorning his chest. Bogard, who said she was in tears leaving Kyle Field after the Oct. 27 loss to Kansas, said the expectation at Texas A&M was to win every game. "Most students blame the problems on the coach," Bogard said. "What Coach Fran did, it might have taken the player's minds off their main focus. Us fans, we want all or nothing — if we don't get what we want, we start pointing fingers. Maybe the team can't handle the pressure." Brett Himmelberg, a University of Nebraska senior from Lincoln, Neb., said the season appeared to be a "catastrophe" before Pederson's firing. Himmelberg said the students had rallied behind the idea that Callahan would be fired. "It's everybody here now," Himmelberg said. "It's all over the radio. They aren't talking about if Callahan will be fired — they are talking about who the next head coach will be." Himmelberg said Nebraska fans would switch spots with Kansas if they could, a sentiment that even a year ago would have "I was down there two years ago when we lost," Himmelberg said of the Jayhawks' 2005 40-15 home victory against the Cornhuskers. "It was unbelievable to see the change in times with Kansas at the top of the Big 12 and Nebraska at the bottom. As a kid, I was used to seeing Nebraska beating Kansas by 40 or 50 points. Kansas is a good team, and Nebraska just isn't anymore." been laughable. While fans in Lincoln and College Station pine for the jettisons of their high profile coaches, Kansas might soon have the opposite problem, one that it hasn't experienced since Glen Mason bolted for Minnesota in the mid-90s: keeping a miracle-working coach, in this case Mark Mangino, in Lawrence. "That is the highest compliment that can be paid to a coach and his coaching staff that other programs are interested in him," Marchiony said.

Kansas opened with a fourth place finish at the Big 12 Relays on Oct. 19 and a victory at Northern Iowa before falling to the Missouri Tigers in its first Big 12 meet of the season. Several records already have been broken by Kansas swimmers, and two divers already have qualified for the postseason NCAA Zone "D" Diving meet. The Kansas tennis team will wrap up its schedule of fall tournaments this weekend at the Seminole invitational at Florida State University. The team will compete in a field featuring players from Florida State, Miami, Georgia Tech, New Mexico and other Florida schools. The team already has turned in impressive performances this fall and expects more of the same this weekend. Kansas players will compete in three flights of singles play as well as doubles. The doubles draw features the 36th ranked pair of senior Elizaveta Avdeeva and Junior Edina Horvath. The duo is 5-3 in fall tournaments including a runner-up finish at the Cissie Leary Tournament earlier this year.

In an out-of-nowhere end to Martina Hingis' comeback, the five-time Grand Slam champion revealed Thursday she tested positive for cocaine at Wimbledon and will retire for a second time rather than fight what she called a "horrendous" accusation. WTA Tour chief executive Larry Scott said he recently found out about Hingis' doping test from the player's representatives — word had not reached him through official channels because it's an ongoing case in which a hearing has yet to be held. "I am frustrated and angry," the 27-year-old Hings said at a news conference in Zurich, Switzerland, her voice breaking as she fought back tears. "I believe that I am absolutely, 100 percent innocent." Although Hingis said she was retiring in part because she doesn't want to spend years dealing with the legal process, Scott said he expected the case to continue. She said she hired an attorney who found "various inconsistencies" with the urine sample. "He is also convinced that the doping officials mishandled the process and would not be able to prove that the urine that was tested for cocaine actually came from me," she said. Hingis tested positive June 29, the day she fell out of the tournament. Associated Press THE UNVERSITY OF BARRAN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2007 SPORTS | 3B FOOTBALL Struggling Big 12 teams need statement games BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com GAMES OF THE WEEK: NO. 14 TEXAS (7-2) AT OKLAHOMA STATE (5-3) Senior running, back Dantrell Savage has rushed for an average of 138 yards per game since losing to Troy five weeks ago. Oklahoma State is tied at the top of the South standings and would be alone in first if it wasn't for a one-point loss to Texas A&M, its only one in conference. Standing in the way of the Cowboy's potent rushing attack are the Longhorns massive defensive tackle Frank Okam and speedy defensive end Aaron Lewis. Okam and Lewis have led a Texas defense that ranks 13th in the nation against the run. TEXAS A&M (6-3) AT NO. 5 OKLAHOMA (7-1) Texas A&M has lost two of its past three while the vultures continue to circle around coach Dennis Franchione's job. After a 19-11 loss to Kansas last week, at least one Aggie player said he still expected to make it to the Big 12 Championship in December. Despite standout defensive backs Reggie Smith and Nic Harris, the Sooners are allowing 230 passing yards per game this season. The road to San Antonio, site of the championship game, goes through Norman, Okla. Junior quarterback Stephen McGee found some success in the air against Kansas late in the game last week. Franchione may use more vertical passes to combat Oklahoma's one surprising weakness: its pass defense. NO. 3 LSU (7-1) AT NO. 17 ALABAMA (6-2) Saban takes great pride in pointing out that he built the LSU program to where it is now, having brought in When Nick Saban took the Alabama coaching job, Saban and Tiger fans alike particularly looked forward to this game. The last time the Tigers visited Tuscaloosa, Ala., they ruined the Crimson Tide's undefeated season in 2005. To leave with similar results this year, LSU will have to slow down Alabama's powerful rushing duo of freshman Terry Grant and sophomore Glen Coffee. high-profile recruits and a national championship. He even alluded to it in his first press conference as the new Alabama coach. Tiger fans want to prove to Saban that they've moved on and coach Les Miles is every bit as capable of doing the job. The Tigers will likely have to do it without quarterback Ryan Perriloux, who often provides a spark off the bench. Miles said Perriloux would probably not play Saturday because of his involvement in a bar fight. NO. 6 ARIZONA STATE (8-0) AT NO. 4, OREGON (7-1) Who would have thought that the biggest Pac-10 Conference regular-season game would not feature the Troians of Southern California? Instead, the Sun Devils and Ducks will do battle in Eugene, Ore. Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon and running back Jonathan Stewart have both gained considerable Heisman hype following big games in the victory against USC. To add to their resume, they meet one of the nation's most surprising defenses in the Sun Devils. Arizona State senior defensive backs Troy Nolan and Justin Tryon have intercepted eight passes. Sun Devil quarterback Rudy Carpenter is tenth in the nation in passing efficiency and throws to a number of different receivers regularly. WISCONSIN (7-2) AT NO. 1 OHIO STATE (9-0) offense. The Ohio State offense had been unspectacular until last week Badger running back P.J. Hill, who left last week's game with an injury, is expected to return against the Buckeyes. Wisconsin will need him at full strength. No team has scored more than 17 points on the Buckeyes and only one team has eclipsed 300 yards of total Apparently, quarterback Todd Boeckman and running back Chris Wells weren't fond of all the criticism of the offense. Boeckman let loose for 253 yards and three touchdowns through the air, and Wells ran for 133 yards against a highly touted Penn State defense. No one has given the Buckeyes more trouble than the Badgers the last few years. Wisconsin has won three straight at Ohio Stadium. OTHER GAMES: NO. 9 MISSOURI (7-1) AT COLORADO (5-4) Missouri's best defensive player, senior safety Cornellius "Pig" Brown, will miss the rest of the season because of an injury. The Tigers defense already was ranked No. 73 in the nation, but now it should really struggle. Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon, left, tries to outrun Southern California defenders Ray Maualuga, bottom right, and Evelson Griffin during a game in Eugene, Ore., on Saturday. Dixon is an adroit cr scrambler, while Arizona State's Rudy Carpenter is good at finding receivers deep downfield. The two offensive styles will be on stage Saturday when the No. 4ucks host the No. 6 Sun Devils. Cyclone receiver Todd Blythe became the all-time leading receiver at Iowa State last week with six receptions. Now, he just wants the Cyclones to win their first conference game.

Edited by Amelia Freidline 》FANTASY FOOTBALL Undefeated teams make focus game in NFL The highlight of the weekend will be the match-up between the last two undefeated teams in the NFL, New England and Indianapolis. Here are the players who will play big on Sunday and those who will play poorly in NFL games. SHOWTIME PETER KENNEDY BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM Wide receiver Lee Evans, Buffalo Bills — It's obvious that Evans struggled early on, but he has gotten back on track the past couple of weeks. He had a big performance against the Jets Sunday and went for more than 100 yards receiving and a touchdown. This weekend Evans plays against a Bengals secondary that has been poor at best. Evans will be able to hurt Cincinnati on the field all day. Running back Reggie Bush, New Orleans Saints — Bush hasn't had the same production this season as he did in his rookie year. The Saints have played better in the few weeks, though. The success of the passing game may open up the running game for Bush. The Jaguars have a mediocre rush defense and may be without one of their run-stuffers in Marcus Stroud on Sunday. This should open up the middle of the field for Bush, who could have a big day. Quarterback Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers — Rivers has been fairly consistent this season for the Chargers, which is good, considering reigning MVP LaDainian Tomlinson has struggled at times this season. This week the Chargers play the Vikings, who have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. Rivers should be able to spread out the ball to his receivers well. He has one of the best tight ends in the NFL in Antonio Gates, and he has the newly added Chris Chambers in his offense. Rivers and the passing offense should be able to take advantage of an already poor Minnesota secondary on Sunday. Denver Defense — Denver has the sixth-best passing defense in the NFL. But they have a terrible rushing defense. Denver plays Detroit on Sunday. Detroit's rushing game has been inconsistent at best. The Detroit passing game has struggled at times as well. The Lions could have problems creating an offensive momentum against a solid Denver defense. NOTIME Wide receiver Joey Galloway, Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Galloway has performed pretty well with Jeff Garcia at quarterback for the Bucs this year. On Sunday, though, he faces an underrated Arizona defense. The Cardinals have the eighth-best passing defense in the NFL, and they get good play from their safeties like Adrian Wilson. Arizona will be able to hold Galloway in check and not allow the deep ball on Sunday. Running back LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers projected stats — Tomlinson has struggled through parts of the season so far, and it doesn't get easier on Sunday. As bad as the Minnesota secondary has been all season, they have a great rushing defense, the third best in the NFL. The Vikings have been able to shut down each running back they've seen this season. Tomlinson will be no different. The Vikings will not be able to win the game, but they can shut down the Chargers No. 1 offensive option. SHOW TIME Lee Evans Reggie Bush 9 catches 127 receiving yards 2 touchdowns 22 carries 134 rushing yards 2 touchdowns 6 receptions 67 receiving yards 1 touchdown Philip Rivers 25/34 314 passing yards 3 touchdowns Quarterback Matt Schaub, Houston Texans — Schaub struggled to get anything going in the passing offense against the Chargers last Sunday, and the hard times will continue against the Raiders this Sunday. The Raiders have the third-best passing defense in the NFL NO TIME NO TIME Joey Galloway 3 catches 21 receiving yards LaDainian Tomlinson 14 carries 52 rushing yards 2 catches 12 receiving yards Matt Schaub Matt Schaub 18/39 186 passing yards 2 interceptions and are overlooked because of their recent history of mediocrity. As bad as the Raider offense has been, the defense puts them in the position to win games. The Raiders defense could cause big problems for Schaub all day on Sunday. New England Defense — New England's defense has been great all year, as it is the third best in the NFL. On Sunday, though, the Patriots have to play against the third-best offense in the NFL. Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne and Joseph Adal will lead the Colts to a tough New England defense. This game could become a shoot-out, especially if Marvin Harrison is healthy. The Patriots defense is one of the best in the NFL, but they are sure to give up a lot of yardage on Sunday.

Kaun's locks steal the show Exhibition college basketball games are usually about as exciting as "Disney on ice" performances. The year-after-year blowouts against helpless opponents have less meaning than Adam Sandler movies. Beyond rooting for Kansas to reach 100 points and harassing the other team's players for throwing up air balls, even the fabled Allen Fieldhouse student section seems to doze off. But not this season. Not in a 94-59 victory against Pittsburg State. That's because the fans in attendance all wanted the answer to one question: How would senior center Sasha Kaun play accompanied by his new hairdo? PETER CRAFTER Kaun growing out his hair has been the predominant story leading up to the season for the Jayhawks. Junior guard Brandon Rush's recovery from knee surgery and the loss of Julian Wright to the NBA clearly aren't as significant. BY CASE KEEFER KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST CKEEFFER@KANSAN.COM Coach Bill Self referred to Kaun as "Screech" from the classic television show "Saved by the Bell." Teammates take pleasure in ridiculing the 6-foot-11 Russian for being a "pretty boy." But few had seen the curly brown mop in action before last night. It didn't take long for Kaun, and his hair, to make an impact against the Gorillas. Perhaps the loudest Allen Fieldhouse got all night was with 17:55 remaining in the first half. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins saw Kaun under the basket and placed a perfect alley-oop for the center to take advantage of. The Jayhawks looked sluggish at times in the first half, but Kaun continually was the catalyst to pick them up. He sneaked up on Pittsburg State center Cory Abercrombie with just less than 12 minutes remaining and laid a block scary enough to intimidate the Kansas football team's defensive linemen. "It was just a loose ball and I saw Sasha and threw it up. I saw a guy there and I didn't know if he could jump that high." Collins said. "But I knew Sasha could jump so I throw it up and knew he was going to go get it." Kaun did more than go get it; he ferociously threw it down and got to the free throw line to convert a three-point play. A couple of possessions later, three Gorillas surrounded Kaun near the block but he simply went over all of them to record another crowd-pleasing bucket. Coach Bill Self said that with only four true big men, the low post defense must improve. It has to start with Kaun. His second half wasn't nearly as impressive, and the Pittsburg State big men found it easier to operate and doubled their points in the paint. Kaun can be the voltage that electrifies Kansas into defining spurts this season. Or he could wind up more like the Screech by being constantly picked on, except it would come from opponents below the basket instead of classmates in high school hallwalls. Either way, senior guard Rodrick Stewart said he would continue to pester Kaun about his hair. Reed overcomes jitters after first possession "Yeah, to be honest, I want to see how long it is going to get before he cuts it." Stewart said. "But it's a good look for him." BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Edited by Tara Smith After growing up in Kansas and dreaming about playing inside Allen Fieldhouse, Tyrel Reed's first possession as a Jayhawk is something he'd rather forget. With Kansas leading Pittsburg State 29-13 early in the second half, Pittsburg State's Keith Windom drove down the right sideline on the Jayhawk freshman. Windom turned the corner on Reed and burned the freshman guard for a layup. Kansas 29, Pittsburg State 15. "My defense was not very good at all tonight, and they scored way to many on me." Reed said. "That's one thing I need to get better at. That is one thing I know with a little experience guarding all of our guards, it will get better in the future. But Reed showed glimpses of the game that made him a Top 100 recruit out of Burlington High School in Burlington. Reed played 15 minutes and finished with three points and four assists in his Kansas debut. Reed's talent wasn't a secret coming out of Burlington — Roy Williams recruited him to North Carolina — but some people had doubts about how much Reed could contribute right away to a Kansas team stacked with talented guards. "We have such great guards, I am just going to do what Coach Self tells me," Reed said. And then there were those pesky Kirk Hinrich comparison. Whether it's the hair, the height — both are 6-foot-3 — or the ability to play both guard positions, Reed just can’t Reed also showed he has a short memory. After surrendering the layup to Windom, Reed sparked Kansas to a 9-10 run that gave the Jayhawks their first 20 point lead of the day. After fellow freshman Cole Aldrich pulled down a rebound and threw an outlet pass to Mario Chalmers, Chalmers found Reed spotted up in the corner and Reed sank his first three-pointer in a Kansas uniform. Reed returned the favor on the next possession, finding Chalmers on the wing for an open three pointer. Kansas 35, Pittsburgh State 15. get away from comparisons with the former Kansas star. "Everyone compares me to Kirk Hinrich, and that's a great comparison to have, and I try to mold my game after him I guess you could say," Reed said. Reed played both guard positions, manning the point guard spot for a length of time in the second half, and managed four assists in 15 minutes with no turnovers. But he still has a way to go before he gets words of praise from his coach. "I thought Tyrel played fine," coach Bill Self said. "I've got Tyrel a little screwed up right now because I've got him thinking instead of just plaving." "Whenever my name is mentioned with Kirk Hinrich it kind of sends chills through your body, but he's such a great player, I'm not even in his league." But for Reed, the key word is "playing," and Reed's finally doing it in Allen Fieldhouse. — Edited by Ashlee Kieler basketball notebook a A REDSHIRT? Think everyone played last night? Wrong. Sophomore guard Brady Morningstar never left the bench even in the waning minutes. He might not get off the bench all year. Morningstar is considering using a redshirt, meaning he'd sit out this year to preserve an extra year of eligibility. Self said he talked with Morningstar and his family and they would make a decision soon. "I think Brady can help us but when Brandon comes back and if he's 100 percent, there are some talented guys that are ahead of him," Self said. "That's something he needs to think about." ARTHUR'S SLOW START Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur has been the most improved player in practice so far, according to Kansas coach Bill Self. Surprisingly, he hardly touched the ball during the first half. "We were disappointed at half time because he had zero attempts, but he had been fouled three times," Self said. "We were disappointed because we have to play through him. In the second half, to start the half I told our guys that is what we are going to do, play through him." ALL FIVE SENIORS "It's going to happen because two of our big guys are seniors," Self said. "That was unintentional, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens a little bit." They listened. Arthur scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half. Russell Robinson, Jeremy Case, Darnell Jackson, Rodrick Stewart and Sasha Kaun were on the floor together for a while during Thursday night's game. No seniors played last year. Now five seniors could play at the same time.

M. JOHNSON I am a teacher. Sauer Strinden The Border Showdown starts at 3 p.m. today in Lawrence against rival Missouri at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Today is also Senior Day, and after the match the team's five seniors — defender Kelsey Archuchela, midfielder Nicole Cauzille, defender Afton Sauer, midfielder Emily Strinde and goalkeeper Colleen Quinn — will be honored in a ceremony. The first 250 fans will receive a free Kansas soccer T-shirt. CATCHING UP Quinn Tonight's showdown against the Tigers is the last game of the Jayhawks' regular season. Next week the team heads to San Antonio, Texas, where it will battle for the Big 12 Championship title. Kansas is 6-9-4 overall, 4-2-3 in the Big 12. 10 Last weekend's win against Iowa State gave the Jayhawks a shot at competing in San Antonio next weekend. STACKING UP THE JAYHAWKS Kansas is in fifth place in conference standings. However, if Texas loses its next game, and the Jayhawks win against the Tigers tonight, Kansas could move to a second-place standing in conference play. If Texas wins its next match, but the Jayhawks do win against Missouri, Kansas would move to third place. Missouri, ranked No. 18 in the country, is 12:5 overall and 6-3 in the Big 12. Last weekend the Tigers lost to Iowa State; 1-0. Kansas leads in victories against Missouri; 7-6. EYEINGTHE TIGERS and the Tigers have not seen a win in Lawrence since 1996. Missouri leads opponents in scoring 46-21 so far this season, but has seen a decrease in its last five games, only outsourcing opponents 8-7. AND THE AWARDS GO TO... Going out with a bang, two seniors, Cauzillo and Strinden, were honored this week by being selected to the Academic All-District 7 Second Team by ESPN Magazine. This is the second time Cauzillo has earned the honor and the first time for Strinden. Cauzillo has scored the most goals this season with five and has three assists. Strinden has played 17 of 19 games this season, and scored the first goal of the season for the Jayhawks. —Edited by Rachael Gray 》 CLUB SPORTS Men's lacrosse competes in Tillar Cup BY EMILY MUSKIN emuskin@kansan.com Quite often seen as a coastal sport, lacrosse seems to be moving to the middle. The Kansas men's club lacrosse team formed in 1982 and today has about 35 members. This weekend the team hopes to extend its three-year dominance of the Kansas State Tillar Cup. Sophomore Matt Tingle described last year's victory at the tournament as the greatest team achievement during his time on the club. Junior member and club president Jay Vaglio said, "Lacrosse combines the finesse of soccer and basketball with the added bonus of being able to hit someone." Because of the sport's popularity on the East and West coasts, the team has a wide variety of players and backgrounds. Most of the members played other sports in the past and are now able to put these skills to use on the lacrosse field. Senior member Jarred Kolar's switch to lacrosse was a result of the large amount of time he spent in the outfield or on the bench during past baseball seasons. ters and two hours of nonstop running and the occasional hitting as well. Ten men are on the field at one time, and the coach can substitute at any time during the name. A lacrosse game is four quar- Vaglio said that lacrosse had been called "the fastest game on two feet." This year the team will get to test out its skills at tournaments in Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois, Texas and right here in Lawrence. Though the team is still working on making it to the national tournament, Tingle, Vaglio and Kolar all received individual honors for their excellent play on the field last year. Though Vaglio and Kolar are nearing the end of their college years, they can rest assured that they will not have to give up lacrosse any time soon. Leagues are all over the nation now, and Midwesterners are finally getting a taste of what the coastal states have enjoyed for years: lacrosse. — Edited by Amelia Freidline A The KU club lacrosse team competes in the Tillar Cup tournament at Kansas State University this weekend.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO RECOGNITION Athlete's good works get notice from Big 12 ANSA KANSAS KANSAS 14 2 KANSAS 17 BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com What does Kansas volleyball player Caitlin Mahoney have in common with University of Texas quarter back Colt McCoy? Mahoney and McCoy were both named to the Big 12 Fall Sports Good Works Team, a team that recognizes the community service efforts of Big 12 athletes. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Gaitin Mohoney, a St. Louis Mo. senior, plays middle blocker for the Kansas Volleyball team. She was recently named to the Big 12 Fall Sports Good Works Team for her charitable efforts off the field which include Habitat for Humanity, food drives and speaking at elementary schools. But while McCoy is on national television every week as the quarterback of one of the top football programs in the country, Mahoney plays in anonymity as a middle blocker on the Kansas volleyball team. McCoy's higher prestige is no matter for Kansas coach Ray Bechard. He said Mahoney exemplified what a true student-athlete should be. "Any time we ask our players to do stuff off the court, she's the first one with her hand up," Bechard said. Mahoney, St. Louis, Mo., senior, is in her fifth season with the Kansas volleyball program. Mahoney has participated in Habitat for Humanity, helped coordinate the team's involvement in the campus canned food drive and volunteered and spoke at local elementary schools. Mahoney said she was excited when she learned that the University of Kansas and the Athletics Department selected her to represent Kansas on the team.

Last season, Kansas lost twice to Oklahoma falling 3-1 at home and 3-0 at Oklahoma. The last time Kansas beat Oklahoma was Nov. 9, 2005. STAYING UP middle blocker Cattlin Mahoney said she had been trying to keep the team from getting down on themselves." When you go through a stretch we've been through... you just have to stay positive and I try to bring some enthusiasm," Mahoney said. WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU? Senior right side/setter Emily Brown has been scorcher lately. The Baldwin City native has had a triple-double in three consecutive games, registering double-digit kills, assists and digs each game. Brown is averaging 14 kills, 25 assists and 13 digs during the last three games. DIG FOR THE CURE Kansas will hold its second annual "Dig for the Cure" game against Oklahoma. Fans are encouraged to make pledges for every Kansas dig, or just make flat donation. The contributions will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer foundation.

The Jayhawks' greatest success came at the end of the year when they won five of their final nine games, including a Big 12 tournament upset over Oklahoma State. The team looked solid on the Australia trip this summer, but will they be able to re-capture that fire from last season and turn it into another winning streak? GAME DAY QUESTION MARKS KANSASVS. PITTSBURG STATE 4:00 p.m. Sunday, Allen Fieldhouse Freshman Krysten Boogaard. Boogaard could be the difference for this team down the stretch. Henrickson's preferred offense runs through a dominant low-post player, something she didn't have last year. It will be interesting to see how the 6'5" Boogaard fits into Henrickson's system, and that will depend heavily on her play at both ends of the court. PLAYER TO WATCH OFFENSE If the end of the 2006-07 season is any indicator, the Kansas offense should hit the ground running. Sophomore Danielle McCray and senior Taylor Mcintosh were heating up down the stretch, and they'll have plenty of help. Sophomores Porscha Weddington and Sade Morris each impressed coaches with their performances on the team's August trip to Australia. Also, sophomore Kelly Kohn and junior Ivana Catic provide some pop from the point guard position. Freshmen Nicolelle Smith, Krysten Boogaard and Chakeitha Weldon will each get some playing time and have a chance to see how they fit into the offensive scheme ★★★☆ DEFENSE This was a problem area last year, as the several freshmen who saw playing time struggled to keep up on the defensive end. Coach Bonnie Henrickson stressed better defensive position in the offseason, but her players need to transfer that work onto the court. Low post players, especially, need to improve from last year because that position isn't deep enough to handle any serious foul trouble. This team has too many other concerns to worry about bad fouls down low. They won't face a real test on Sunday, but it's important to do well now so they have confidence come time for the real thing. ★★☆☆☆ COACHING Henrickson had to cut her playbook in half last year because of inexperience and the lack of an inside post presence. Now she has her pieces in place, depending on the play of junior Marija Zinic and Boogaard. If her post players perform well, Henrickson's offense is 10 times better. If not, this team looks a lot like last year's squad. Unless Henrickson is willing to change up her offensive style of play, which she did with mixed results last season, then one of these two players will have to step up and perform to Henrickson's expectations. OFFENSE KANSAS 4 ★★☆☆★ ★★★☆☆ Despite losing last season's leading score, forward Candice Gilbert, the Gorillas welcome in a fresh infusion of offensive talent. Junior college transfers Deprice Taylor and Brianna Buchanan bring stability and veteran savvy to the Pittsburgh State backcourt. Taylor is an athletic point guard from Detroit, Mich., that averaged 11.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game last season at Barton County Community College. The Gorillas also added University of Idaho transfer Liz Witte, the second leading three-point shooter in the Western Athletic Conference for the Vandals as a junior. Witte help Pittsburgh State improve its three-point shooting after the team made only 3.3 three pointers per game a year ago, the 239th lowest total in Division II DEFENSE For the most part the Gorillas were an average defensive team during 2006-2007. A revamped lineup characterized by a drastic increase in athleticism should help put more pressure on opposing teams. The loss of Gilbert's inside presence leaves a gap in Pittsburgh State's interior defense. Her rebounding and shot blocking will be difficult to replace but the Gorillas will push the pace in an effort to create turnovers. One of the lone positives last season was the team's ability to defend without committing fouls. The Gorillas averaged 15.8 fouls per game, 40th in the nation. ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ Danielle McCray COACHING Pittsburg State hired new coach Lane Lord on April 5 to make wholesale changes to a stagnant program that finished 11-16 last season. Lord did just that by bringing 14 new players into the Gorilla program. The haul included seven transfers and seven incoming freshman, many of whom followed him from his last coaching job at Barton County Community College. The Gorillas hope that Lord's success at his previous stops — at Wichita Heights High School, where his teams won two 6A state championships, and Barton, where the Cougars were 27-3 last year under Lord — translates into success in the highly competitive ★★☆★★ PSU TIP-OFF PLAYER TO WATCH — Andrew Wiebe — Taylor Bern QUESTION MARKS Deprice Taylor. The 5-9 Taylor is the kind of floor leader that can affect every aspect of the game. She is a long, athletic guard that can shoot, rebound and pass without committing untimely turnovers. Taylor started 29 of 30 games for Barton County, quarterbacking the Cougars to a share of the Jayhawk Conference West regular season title and a twelve game winning streak. Kansas will have to stop Taylor's dribble penetration and force her to exert energy defensively on Sunday to minimize her impact on the game. How quickly can the Gorillas 14 new faces learn coach Lane Lord's system? Lord was smart to bring a few key players from last seasons Barton team to Pittsburgh that should ease the transition to a new system and coach. The Gorillas play Kansas and Missouri on back-to-back days, and if the players haven't absorbed it by now, the results will be obvious against two Big 12 schools. Taylor should have no problem adjusting to the competition but it remains to be seen how the rest of the team will cope. FOOTBALL Defensive backups contribute to starters' fresh legs late in games Reserves holding their own BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Near the start of the fourth quarter of last Saturday's game, the Texas A&M Aggies looked asleep on their feet. Quarterback Stephen McGee struggled to control the ball after a poor snap and made a half-hearted attempt to hand it off to running back Mike Goodson. But Goodson and McGee were not in sync, and the ball fell to the turf. Kansas junior defensive end John Larson was alert enough to sneak between the Aggies and corral the football, short-circuiting a Texas A&M drive and putting the Jayhawk offense in position to score a touchdown four plays later. It's no wonder Larson was feeling fresh enough to beat his opponents to the fumble: Because of improved depth on defense, the fayhawks have been able to play at a high level deep into the second half of games. "We're using a lot of kids," Mangino said. "Some of those guys that are quote-unquote twos are playing a lot of repetitions, and actually becoming one-minuses, maybe. Those kids are getting a lot of playing time and playing well." On the defensive line, the lajhyawk "one-minuses" include freshman defensive end Jake Laptad and sophomore defensive end Jeff Wheeler. Laptad occasionally slides into one of the defensive end spots to give either Larson or junior Russell Brorsen a breath. Wheeler is the team's pass-rushing specialist, a quarterback's worst nightmare at 6-foot-7, 260-pounds. Wheeler has recorded just eight tackles this season, but three of those resulted in a loss of yardage and two were sacks. The Kansas defensive backfield is also overflowing with serviceable players. In the team's third-down package, senior safety Sadiq Muhammed and freshman defensive backs Justin Thornton and Chris Harris enter the game to supplement the pass defense. Harris, a true freshman, proved himself by holding his own as a starter for seven games before becoming a "one-minus" last weekend. Thornton, a safety who ran into hard times as a true freshman starter last season, has improved measurably and is currently tied for the team lead in interceptions with three. The Jayhawk reserves have contributed something more than tackles and interceptions this season. Their success has allowed Mangino flexibility in his personnel decisions. The coach feels comfortable putting freshmen such as Laptad and Harris in to keep his starters' legs feeling fresh late in games. "Our team has a lot of depth this year," Wheeler said. "I think a lot of our guys have contributed a lot to this team and what we've done over the past eight games. Definitely the first and second teams have both put in their work to make our team what it is."

Before this season, Mark Mangino's media request sheet usually contained four or five items each week. After the team's 8-0 start, two pages' worth of media outlets want to speak with Mangino, and the coach has struggled to meet all of the demand. If Kansas keeps winning, Mangino can count on having a full schedule for the foreseeable future.

QUESTION MARKS 》 How will Scott Webb deal with adversity? The senior kicker has been exceptionally consistent during his entire collegiate career, but he missed three field goals last weekend. The game may not be close enough to bring Webb's accuracy issues into play, but it will be interesting to see whether he can bounce back. Can the Jayhawks cover the spread once more?

NEBRASKA 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Memorial Stadium Kansas 8-0,4-0 Big 12 Conference OFFENSE The Kansas offense may have scored only 19 points last week against Texas A&M, but it probably deserved more. For the third consecutive game, sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing did not throw an interception, and he completed nearly two-thirds of his pass attempts. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson displayed an impressive combination of power and speed on his way to a career-high 183 rushing yards. Poor special teams play cost the Jayhawk offense the extra points it should have put on the board. ★★★★★ DEFENSE The defense is coming off of its best performance of the conference season. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton and junior linebacker James Holt stuffed the formidable Texas A&M run game and the Kansas secondary did an admirable job of containing the Aggies' option runs. With one of the nation's best tackles in McClinton, a very solid group of linebackers and a star cornerback in Talib, the Kansas defense is sturdy on all three levels. ★★★★★ SPECIAL TEAMS Another week, another area of concern for the Jayhawk spi teams. Senior kicker Scott Webb has been solid throughout he so there should not be too many worries about his performance. But the blocked field goal in the first quarter showed a crack in Kansas' kicking game. Sophomore wide receiver Anthony Webb has not yet misplayed a punt, but his reckless style and hesitance to call a fair catch is a bit troubling. ★★★☆★ MOMENTUM The Jayhawks are riding high for yet another week. The team started the season by proving it could win at home and has recently established national credibility by pulling out A three road victories over respectable Big 12 Conference opponents. ESPN is paying attention, Todd Reesing is a Davey O'Brien Award semifinalist, and most importantly, the team is undefeated. It's beginning to look like Kansas isn't just a basketball school anymore. ★★★★ Nebraska 4-5,1-4 Big 12 Conference COACHING A great deal of the credit for the program's turnaround has to go to the man in charge, head coach Mark Mangino. Since his arrival at Kansas, he has compared the process of building the program to "sawing wood". During some of the more disappointing moments of Mangino's tenure, it seemed all that sawing was for naught. Now that his team is competing for a BCS bowl bid and is heavily favored against the once-mighty Nebraska Cornhuskers, the hard work is paying dividends. ★★★ ★★ OFFENSE Exactly what Nebraska will do on offense against Kansas remains a mystery because of quarterback Sam Xeller's season-ending injury. Junior Joe Ganz will make the first start of his career in Lawrence. In limited action this season, he is 3-for-4 with 75 yards and a touchdown. But Ganz adds a new dimension to the offense because he can run the ball. The change of pace could actually be a blessing in disguise for the NU offense, because the more it has run the ball, the better it has been this season. Junior running back Marlon Lucky exploded for 233 yards in the season opener against Nevada but has fallen to averaging only 92 yards per game since. The running game's efficiency is credited to the offensive line, anchored by center Brett Byford. The receiving corps is deep and talented with Maurice Purify, Nate Swift and Terrence Nunn each with at least 25 receptions. ★★★☆★ DEFENSE The Cornhusker offense has been competitive enough to win games this season. The same can't be said for the defense. A lot was expected of this unit before the season began. The defensive line was an area of concern but was supposed to be shored up by highly recruited players such as sophomore Ndamukong Suh, whose first name means "House of Spears". But with only one sack this season, he's not spearing the quarterback nearly enough. Nebraska ranks 112th nationally in sacks. Some of the blame has to be on the linebackers. Bo Ruud, for example, looked like one of the Big 12 Conference's best. But with only four tackles per game, his season is as disappointing as Kelly Osbourne's music career. Nebraska has experimented with many different personnel combinations in the secondary. They all shared one thing in common: they couldn't stop the pass. ★ ★ ★ ★ SPECIAL TEAMS the pro- the man ngino. as com- ne pro- some ments all w ored ska least the Cornhuskers are outstanding at one thing: kick coverage. They rank first in the Big 12 in kickoff coverage and have booted eleven touchbacks. Cortney Grixby is one of the better kick and punt returners in the Big 12 conference. Dan Titchener has handled the punting duties well. Alex Henry hasn't missed a field goal yet but that could be because he's only attempted six. Asher Fusco ★★★☆☆ MOMENTUM 46 years is more than just a meaningless statistic. The fact that it's been that long since Nebraska lost four consecutive games provides a harrowing look at how far it's fallen since the glory days. Nebraska led Texas going into the fourth quarter last week before letting all the positive momentum slip away. Longhorn running back Jamaal Charles rushed for three touchdowns in the fourth quarter in a shocking comeback victory for Texas. At this point, the team not to stain the rich UAS: As this point, Cornhusks are simply trying not to stain the rich NU tradition any further. ★☆☆☆ COACHING Bill Callahan has served as the scapegoat for the improbable losing season in Lincoln, Neb. It will almost certainly cost him his job at the end of the season. But Callahan can't possibly be that bad of a coach. He is the same guy who led the Oakland Raiders to a Super Bowl appearance in his first year at the helm. Defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove must shoulder the majority of the blame for failing to put a competitive unit on the field despite undeniable talent. ★★★☆★★ Case Keefer Mark Mangino NU KICK-OFF AT A GLANCE Nebraska travels to Lawrence accompanied by a four-game losing streak in which it has been outscored 150-59. But a game in Memorial Stadium against the eighth-ranked Jayhawks could serve as the perfect opportunity for the Cornhuskers to get back on track. Nebraska has 46 victories and only seven losses all-time when visiting Kansas.

The only problem is Nebraska Junior running back Marlon Lucky. With starting quarterback Sam Keller out with an injury, more of the offensive load will be placed on the shoulders of Lucky. Not that he can't carry it. He's Lucky [ ] abandons Lucky quickly if he doesn't find room to run. If Lucky can get past a vicious Kansas front seven early, look for him to keep Nebraska in the game. QUESTION MARKS >> How effective can new starting quarterback Joe Ganz be? It's the million dollar question heading into the game for both teams. The junior obviously wasn't good enough in training camp because he lost the position battle to Sam Keller. But if Ganz can find a rhythm against the Kansas defense, he could haunt it because the Jayhawks were unable to scout Ganz leading up to the game. 》How will Nebraska stop the Kansas ground game? Dead last. That's where the Cornhuskers rank in rushing defense nationally. Jayhawk running back Brandon McAnderson enters fresh off of a game where he ran for a career-high 186 yards.

U.S.A. "It's a welcoming environment," said Jacob Thibodeau, a Lawrence senior who is a nontraditional student and the instructor of the club. "We greet each other by kicking each other in the head." According to the World Tae Kwon Do Federation's Web site, Tae Kwon Do is a type of Korean martial art that teaches both fighting and discipline. The Tae Kwon Do club started at the University of Kansas in the late 1970s and has about 20 members. Members meet for class at the Student Recreation Fitness Center three times a week on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays. They practice sets of exercises, spar with one another and work on testing to and help members reach higher skill levels. Different skill levels are shown Samantha Thibodeau, Lawrence resident and 2006 graduate, and Emma Brooke, Lawrence sophomore, spar each other at a recent KU Tae Kwon Do practice. The club practices at 7 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. by the color of belt the martial art wears. A white belt signifies a begin- ner while a black belt signifies the highest level. "The workouts are challenging," said Miriam Maples, Lawrence senior and club president. "But if you push yourself, then you can make it through." Members gain Tae Kwon Do skills beyond the workouts. Thibodeau said members tried to follow the five tenets of Tae Kwon Do: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. In addition to weekly practices, members attend belt testings in Kansas City, Kan., every other month and participate in tournaments throughout the year in Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita. "Hopefully they take these to class and their professors and into their lives," Thibodeau said. "Everyone has their own reasons for joining, whether it's to get a workout, to have fun, or to learn self-defense," Maples said. Thibodeau said Tae Kwon Do also gave students an opportunity to relieve stress and build character. "When you kick each other in the head, you have to have trust," Thibodeau said. "I like the bond that I've created with everyone." Students at all skill levels can join the organization. Students interested in joining can attend a club meeting from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays or Wednesdays at the recreation center. JAYHAWK DIE HARDS Edited by Matt Erickson DON'T STOP!

ODD NEWS ODD NEWS Southeast's dry weather benefits pectan harvesters ALBANY, Ga. — The record-long drought gripping the Southeast isn't all bad news: It's meant nearly perfect weather for growing pecans in Georgia. The state is on pace to be the nation's top pecan producer this year, with shellers predicting a harvest of more than 125 million pounds, said pecan horticulturist Lenny Wells of the University of Georgia's agriculture extension. Georgia was the nation's third-leading pecan producer last year. The nation's two other top producers — New Mexico and Texas — are not expected to grow nearly as much, Wells said. New Mexico's crop is predicted to be about 80 million pounds, and Texas is expected to harvest 73 mille- lion pounds, Wells said. He also said Texas had heavy rains this year, which encouraged disease in pecan crops. This year, Georgia had a spring freeze that destroyed a few orchards close to Augusta, but the drought — combined with irrigated orchards and some August and September rains — have helped the pecan crop. The nation produced almost 189 million pounds of pecans in 2006 in the Pecan Belt — a 15-state growing region located in the southeastern and southwestern United States. The pecan harvest is expected to begin in late November and will last about six weeks. ODD NEWS Chinese use 2008 Olympics to create children's names BEIJING — the upcoming Beijing Olympics is more than just a point of pride for China — it's such an important part of the national consciousness that almost 3,500 children have been named for the event, a newspaper reported Sunday. Many of the 3,491 people with the name,"Aoyun,"meaning Olympics, were born around the year 2000, when Beijing was bidding to play host to the 2008 Summer Games, the Beijing Daily reported, cliting information from China's national identity card database. The Chinese have increasingly turned to unique names as a way to express a child's individuality. The majority of people named Aoyun are male, the newspaper said. Only six live in Beijing. The report didn't say where the others live. Names related to the Olympics don't just stop with "Olympics." More than 4,000 Chinese people share their names with the Beijing Games mascots, the "Five Friendies." The names are Bei Bei (880 people), Jing Jing (1,240), Huan Huan (1,063), Ying Ying (624) and Ni Ni (642) . When put together, the phrase translates to "Beijing welcomes you!" In a country with a population of 1.3 billion, 87 percent share the same 129 family names. That's why 5,598 people have the same name as NBA player Yao Ming and 18,462 share a moniker with star hurdler Liu Xiang, according to the Beijing Daily report. Parents have turned to unusual combinations of letters, numbers and symbols when choosing their child's name, Li Yuming, deputy director of the National Language Commission, told the Xinhua News Agency in an August interview. At least one couple wanted to call their child "1A"Yuming said, while others use the e-mail address symbol (at), which in Chinese is pronounced "Alta," meaning "love him." on campus The seminar "Types and Sterotypes in Florentine Convents" will start at 3:30 p.m. in the Seminar Room in Hall Center.

Chlopek's dad was the major influence in the start of his record collection 10 years ago. BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com In a world where iPods and CDs are the most common way to listen to music, some are looking to the past for more creative ways to hear their music. Brett Chloupek, Harvard, Neb., graduate student, is one of several students who don iPods on campus, but his passion for music lies in his vinyl record collection. Vinyl records have grown in popularity in Lawrence over the past few years. Chloupuk, who began collecting vinyl records 10 years ago, has almost 300 records in his collection to date. He said his dad was the person who got him into it. "He had a really big collection when I was younger, and that got me interested in them," Choupek said. Chloupek said his record collec Chloupek sai tion was influenced heavily by his father. "I have a very eccentric taste, but older country and classical vinyls are some of my favorites," he said. Chloupek said he had a big music collection on his computer, but he said he preferred vinyls to digital music. Chloupke said he visited various record and antique stores on Massachusetts Street, various garage sales and even the small collection at Good Will, located at 2200 W. 31st St. "Vinyls are way more tough when it comes to durability. A CD messes up quicker." Joe Fox, Leavenworth sophomore, is also an avid vinyl record collector. He said he began collecting while he was in eighth grade when he bought his first record player for $15. He said he had always shopped for vinyls in smaller thrift stores. to see what they have, Fox said. "They really have good stuff there." Fox said that he typically found records for as cheap as 50 cents and that he once found the original "Shaft" movie soundtrack for a low price. "Thrift stores are where I go just Tim Dodd, assistant manager of Half-Price Books, 1519 W. 23rd St., said his store sold vinyl records and that sales had been steady. He said while he thought the popularity of vinyls had never gone away, he believed they were starting to make a bigger jump in popularity over the past five to 10 years because of people's personal preferences. "Depends on how you hear things," Dodd said. "People say records are warmer than CDs that are made of metal. There is a nostalgic sort of feeling about records, similar to old books." JOE FOX Leavenworth sophomore Ryan Nessmith, Lansing sopho- raising sophomore, began collecting vinyl records four years ago when he learned some of his favorite punk bands had releases available only on vinyls. He said that since he began collecting, he had gained 80 LPs and 50 7-inch records and that proven durability was the reason he thought many people collected vinyl. "There are tests proven in the 1980s that vinyl has a far longer sound shelf life than CDs will ever have," Nessmith said. He said packaging of a vinyl record were also more appealing to music lovers. Dodd said there were various kinds of customers who came to the store, including those who browsed for any title and those who are diehard fans looking for specific albums. Chloupek said he noticed similar people when he went shopping for albums. "Once, I was in an old thrift shop and my guy kept watching me as I was browsing through an aisle looking for an album," he said. "He kept staring over at me as I looked, and he finally came up to me after a while and told me he always looked through the section I had been looking at because he bought certain records to resell at his own stores." Sounds is one of the few stores that specializes in the selling of vinyl records. Corcoran said that they sold well because of what they had to offer. K e l l y Corcoran, a store clerk at Love Garden Sounds, located at 9361/2 Massachusetts "It's just cooler than a CD," he said. "You offer a better format and more of a format and art. I know I wouldn't want to have all my music just on my computer. There's more to it than an MP3." F o x "There is a nostalgic sort of feeling to records, similar to books." St., said vinyl buyers could purchase albums for prices between 50 cents and $65. He said that most albums were in the $5 to $6 range, but that once in a while some records could cost up to $1,000. Love Garden TIM DODD Half-Price Books assistant manager F o x said there was something more unique about a vinyl records compared with CDs. said. "And there is something con- about saying you have that record when you hear it as opposed to a CD." Edited by Kaitlyn Syring 》 NATURAL DISASTER BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com 图 Homes still lie in rubble. Staircases lead to nowhere, as the houses around them are destroyed. Federal Emergency Management Agency trailers are still parked where houses used to be. These images are still vivid in Gretchen Wieland's mind. Wieland, Sterling, Ill., senior, and journalism and political science major, spent six days in June rebuilding houses in New Orleans two years after Hurricane Katrina. Her experiences during those six summer days led her to form an organization called Project: Katrina Hope to raise awareness and money for rebuilding in New Orleans. Wieland wants to raise $2,500 for the cause, and she plans to return to New Orleans in December to begin filming a documentary about the volunteer work in the area. She plans to finish the film in March and June. Name/KANSAN "I woke up one morning, and I was like, 'I'm going to make a documentary,' she said. Wieland said that while much of New Orleans was still devastated and the media coverage had been mostly negative, her documentary would focus on the positives of volunteers who are working to give victims hope. Wieland said that many of the volunteers there had little experience in rebuilding houses, but that they were still committed to helping. "I really saw so many positives," she said. "The residents are so grateful for the volunteers. I want to tell their stories." To help with the project, Wieland has assistance from students in Illinois and current and former University of Kansas students. Crisisy Del Perico, a May Volunteers rebuild a home that Hurricane Katrina destroyed. Current and former KI students formed Project: Hurricane Katrina to raise awareness for restoring New Orleans. graduate from Leawood, is cosupervisor of Project: Katrina Hope and helps with the planning and consulting work. She said the documentary was a way to show that people do care. "If we get 10 people to say, 'I want to help rebuild,' or 100 people to donate money, we've made a difference," she said. Shannon Mortimer, May 2007 graduate from Hoffman Estates, Ill., is news coordinator for the project. She will conduct interviews and help with the film's production in March. Mortimer said she had never volunteered or been to New Orleans before but was looking forward to learning more about the city and its people. "From what I hear, every volunteer that goes there has amazing stories and experiences," Mortimer said. "I think something like this will really change a person. There is nothing more special than being able to give back." Wieland said that in the coming weeks the organization would be selling T-shirts on its Web site and around campus.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2007 PAGE 5A Cohen: Remebering Professor Wallace Johnson. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lawrence full of talented musicians PAGE 5A A recent column titled, "Made up names alone do not make the band" posed the question. "Is it good to support something that is just plain bad?" I'd like to delve a little further into that issue. First off, there are indeed many sub-par musicians in Lawrence. I should know; as a former member of KJHK's Live Events staff, I spent five hours, three years in a row wading through complete crap to find eight talented groups to compete in KJHK's local music competition. Many of these bands were awful; vocalists crying "like prepubescents" and dancing in banana outfits, threatening to devastate your auditory system. For every one of those bands, there was at least one local talent that I was thrilled to support. Lawrence has been the home to many talented groups, including the Anniversary, Ad Astra Per Aspera, Ghosty, Danny Pound Band, the Embarrassments, The Get Up Kids (technically from Kansas City) and Kelly Hunt. Even the drummer from Flaming Lips lives here (or at least he did), so if you're generous the Flaming Lips might qualify as semi-local (and if you're being super generous, you could even include Charlie Parker). These bands are all first-rate, not just in my opinion, but in the opinion of national music critics like Pitchfork Media and the College Music Journal. I think it's fair to assume that these bands prospered because of the immense support they received from the Lawrence community. I also think that local music shouldn't necessarily be designated a genre so much as it should be a call to the artist community to lend its support. Calling these bands "local" doesn't mean they all sound the same; it means that Lawrence is proud to be such an artistic community. I fear that people misunderstand what it means to support local music. No, I do not financially support every band in Douglas County by purchasing every three-song EP they record in their garage. My idea of support is to stand behind people who want to pursue their dreams, whether it means I give a dollar to someone playing on the street, call a radio station to request a song or applaud an opening band. If people think that knowing three guitar chords qualifies them to lead a band, I say, "Go for it!" Think about it—for every Picasso, there are a million so-called "artists" attempting to sell their finger paintings. For every Michael Jordan, there are a million mediocre basketball players attempting to dunk with their tongues wagging. And for every Keith Moon, there are a million drummers with no sense of rhythm. There is nothing wrong with that. Music lovers should be open to anyone with a desire to create music, because eventually they will get that gem. As Freddie Mercury once said, "Talent will out, my dear!" And consider this. Many beloved rock idols supported each other "locally" as they developed their music styles playing in coffee houses and bars. Before he was a Beatle, John Lennon played in a skiffle band in small pubs. If no one had supported him at the local level, he may not have met Paul McCartery and George Harrison and the Beatles might never have existed. Robert Johnson, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan certainly struggled before they became legends. Local support was necessary for these talents to flourish. Just as no one should listen to local music simply because it is local, no one should listen to The Who and Coltrane simply because they are legends. Whether you start listening to a different radio station, borrow some of your friends' CDs, scour the Internet for new music reviews or attend more concerts (with local as well as national acts), you should make an effort to discover new things. You should support music in general because it is an important part of contemporary culture and always make an effort to expand your tastes. Laura Watkins 2006 Lenexa Graduate Administrative Associate, University Honors Program Lawrence's music scene is alive and well. It's something I've heard a lot: "Local music sucks." And Friday's article, "Made up names alone do not make the band" continued to fan the unfortunate flame against all things Lawrence, at least musically. As someone who works to promote Lawrence's unique crop of talented musicians and its powerhouse media outlets, I have to say, I disagree. In 2005, The New York Times' Seth Sherwood wrote about spending "36 Hours in Lawrence, Kansas." He suggested that the proper Saturday night be spent with the wealth of influential local music pouring out of any given venue. "It may only be rock 'n' roll, but Ghosty, the Appleseed Cast, the New Amsterdam and other young bands are playing it with such virtuosity that Lawrence is now perhaps the most vital music scene between Chicago and Denver." Sherwood wrote. So are these bands, you ask? A nostalgic tour a few years back and a brief search on Lawrence.com yields answers. In the 1990s, Lawrence welcomed musical fame from rock and roll frontrunner The Get Up Kids, and they enjoyed the success of "hundreds of thousands of album sales" and tour appearances with Weezer and Green Day. The Anniversary, a former band whose members now find themselves active in countless other local projects, lists touring with Dashboard Confessional and Ben Kweller as achievements. Another local outfit, The Belles, found huge success in Europe, including music videos featured on MTV Italy. Their single "Omerta" can be heard on an episode of "Dawson's Creek," and "Disarmed" was featured on an episode of "One Tree Hill." While recording their album "Grow Up or Sleep In," Ghosty enjoyed a surprise visit from Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. The result was a guest vocal appearance by Coyne, and Ghosty returned the favor by assisting on the Lips' "A Change at Christmas (Say It Ain't So)" track. They've been featured in Entertainment Weekly, and you can catch them playing in the area regularly. Doris Henson toured with Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. Other stellar local bands include White Whale, Minus Story, Split Lip Rayfield, Kill Creek, the Esoteric, Ad Astra Per Aspera, White Flight and countless others this letter is too short to contain. And I haven't even touched the local hip hop scene. To say that, "the problem with supporting local music is that, quite simply, most of it is awful" is a gross oversight of what Lawrence has. Yes, it takes time and dedication to sift through the menagerie of self-proclaimed musicians Lawrence harbors, but it's not impossible, and the benefits are rewarding. Luckily, there are outlets to help you. Lawrence.com features a current local show listing and an impressive database of mp3s and bios, and 90.7 KJHK hosts a radio program, Plow the Fields (Saturdays 4 to 6 p.m.), devoted entirely to local music. You can have your Stravinsky and Coltrane with a side of Ghosty and Whie Whale, too.

IT'S WORKED FOR EVERYTHING ELSE. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. Policy for evacuation based on political correctness, not logic Natural disasters are inevitable, but continually rebuilding vulnerable cities smacks of stupidity BRANDONT. MINSTER Ever since Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans in 2005 New Orleans in 2005, the crisis has been inseparably tied to race. New Orleans is more than two-thirds black, while the nation as a whole is less than one-seventh black. The enormity of the event and the perceived failure of government response has led to criticism such as that by Kanye West, who famously declared on live television, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Expanding the question beyond personalities and racial groups, we can ask, "Do government officials care about New Orleans residents?" In the final analysis, elected leaders have been forced into policies which harm the people of New Orleans by the fear of appearing racially insensitive. When a destroyed city is overwhelmingly white, there is little variation in the response. The Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls, N.Y., was evacuated and demolished for fear of toxic waste contamination which has not been conclusively proven. Instead of waiting for confirmation, the federal government spent nearly $400 million to "clean" a questionably contaminated site. The mostly-Caucasian Times Beach, Mo., was evacuated, purchased and destroyed in a move than some health experts now question as unnecessary. After spending $37 million on a project now called a mistake by former officials, the site is now a state park commemorating Route 66. A city in northern Pennsylvania called Centralia has been sitting atop an underground coal fire for more than 40 years. In the mid-1980s the predominantly white city was evacuated and property was purchased under imminent domain laws. It seems safe to say that, if you are white and your city is threatened by contamination or destruction (or even threatened by threatening), you will be forced to move. New Orleans, however, has made a point of pride of demanding the federal government spend taxpayer money to allow the rebuilding of a waterfront town that is more than 50 percent below sea level. If this seems like a recipe for disaster, it is. Two weeks ago New Orleans experienced heavy rainfall that led to flooding in many neighborhoods. But as long as water continues to roll downhill (which, as of press time this morning, was still the case), New Orleans will continue to flood. How many times must New Orleans be flooded before it's no longer rebuilt? Instead of rebuilding, the city must be replaced, either physically (having residents move to safer areas) or functionally (designing a city that can withstand the laws of nature). A color-blind response would be evacuation, like what happened in previous cases. But because policy cannot be divorced from race, the easiest way to avoid charges of racism is to promote "solutions" that disproportionately hurt a single minority group. In the old days that would be called "racism," but these days that's just called "compassion." But again, practicality has met its match in the form of racial consideration. In Love Canal, Times Beach and Centralia were all predominantly white areas, New Orleans (and especially the lowest region) has mostly black residents. This takes government policy from the realm of disaster response and makes it a de facto racial response. This is the apparent logic behind Kanye West's criticism, and this is the reason that the unfortunate people of New Orleans are being allowed to set themselves up for further tragedy.

After Kansas' victory over Nebraska Kansas is ranked fourth in the Bowl Championship Series rankings and fifth in the other three major leagues. Anna Faltermieer/KANSAN afusco@kansan.com The Nebraska Cornhuskers visited the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday, and the game was an absolute blowout. There's nothing unusual about that statement. What was strange about Saturday's game was that the Jayhawks were the ones doing the dominating. For the better part of the last half-century, Nebraska pushed Kansas around, winning 37 of the teams' last 38 match-ups. Saturday, the No. 5 Jayhawks played the role of Big 12 bully, turning the tables and routing the Cornhuskers, 76-39. With the victory, Kansas moved into fifth in The Associated Press and Coaches' polls and fourth in the BCS standings while securing its first ever 5-0 start in conference play and first 9-0 start since 1908. The Jayhawks' 76 points set a school record for the most scored in a conference game and easily surpassed the team's previous high of 40 points against Nebraska (4-6, 1-5 Big 12). Kansas actually passed that mark by halftime, scoring 48 points before the end of the second quarter. "Nebraska has a good tradition, and they always play hard," senior wide receiver Marcus Henry said. "So to look up and see that score on the scoreboard was pretty amazing." The Jayhawk offense looked impressive the entire game, but the defense suffered through several rough stretches early in the game. Nebraska, which had relied on its strong running game all season, threw Kansas a change-up by going to the air early and often. In the first half alone, Nebraska junior quarterback Joe Ganz threw for 266 yards and two touchdowns, leading two solid scoring drives in the first 12 minutes of play. "They threw the ball a lot," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "We did not anticipate them throwing the ball as much as they did because they had not done that all year. We were caught a little bit off-guard." and Kansas were tangled in a 28-21 shoot out. By the opening minutes of the second quarter, it was clear that high-powered offense would be the theme of Saturday's game. The teams combined for 35 points in the first quarter, and neither showed any sign of slowing down early in the second quarter. Every time Kansas looked primed to pull away and stretch its lead, Nebraska used its most potent weapon, senior wide receiver Maurice Purify, to crawl back into the game. Trailing 28-14 early in the second quarter, Ganz connected with Purify, who was streaking past Kansas junior cornerback Kendrick Harper, for a 60-yard gain down the middle of the field. After the long pass, the Kansas coaches adjusted the defensive secondary to keep junior cornerback Aqib Talib on Purify at all times. The challenging match-up did not faze Purify. Two plays after the 60-yard pass, Ganz lofted the ball into the air to Purify in the corner of the end zone. Purify, at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, muscled his way through Talib and to the ball to put six points on the scoreboard. With 9:44 to play in the first half, Nebraska From that point on, Kansas patched up its imperfections and performed like the unde feated powerhouse the way it has all season. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing led the Jayhawks on a four-play, 61-yard drive that lasted only one minute and seven seconds to extend his team's lead to 14 points. The defense stiffened and allowed just 15 yards on the next two Nebraska drives combined and held the team dormant long enough for the offense to score three more touchdowns before halftime. After yielding four touchdowns on the Cornhuskers' first nine drives, the Jayhawk defense made adjustments in the third quarter, intercepting three passes and recovering a fumble. Sophomore safeties Darrell Stuckey and Justin Thornton had momentum-killing interceptions in the second half that set the offense up with prime field position, and Nebraska scored only one touchdown in the game's final 25 minutes. By that time, the reserves were on the field, and the game was all but over. "We went right back to our fundamentals and focused on our responsibilities," junior linebacker Mike Rivera said. "We tried to keep it simple, just reading our progressions and dropping into our spots. We came in at halftime and talked about that and got some BCS standings SEEFOOTBALL ON PAGE 4B Kansas' 76-39 thrashing of Nebraska turned some heads across the nation as the Jayhawks jumped to fourth place in the BCS Standings and into fifth place in all three major polls. Kansas leapfrogged Oklahoma, West Virginia, Boston College and Arizona State with help from a weighted computer average that favored it heavily over Oklahoma and Missouri. The No. 5 ranking in The Associated Press poll is the Jayhawks' highest since 1968. Other Big 12 teams in the BCS Top.25 include Oklahoma (5), Missouri (6) and Texas (14). BCS Rankings 1.

Georgia — Asher Fusco Hawks win in record-setting fashion COMMENTARY BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com To say Kansas made a statement with its 76-39 victory against Nebraska would be an understatement. According to ABC's broadcast team during the Texas-Oklahoma State game, Cowboys fans gasped when the Kansas score appeared on the JumboTron in Boone Pickens Stadium. Teams just aren't supposed to touch the 70s in November. Nothing short of a 37-point beatdown would have lived up to the hype of homecoming, complete with a pregame fly-over, sky divers and a hippie dancing in the front row of the west bleachers. In the end, Nebraska's 36-year dominance over Kansas was a distant memory. But, make no mistake, Saturday's blowout came against a deeply flawed Nebraska team, which lost five consecutive games. The Cornhuskers are still under the direction of lame duck coach Bill Callahan, who is incapable of inspiring greatness out of his team. I don't think there's a single player on his roster willing to lay it all on the line for him at this point in the season. Nebraska's offense was led by quarterback Joe Ganz, who made his first collegiate start. By the second quarter, it was apparent that Callahan had abandoned his running game and Ganz's inexperience came to the forefront with four ensuing interceptions. Nebraska's defense (formerly known as the Blackshirts) again proved to be softer than a Tempur-Pedic mattress. Ranked dead last in the NCAA in rushing defense, Nebraska actually improved its season average by "holding" Kansas to 218 yards on the ground. By the end of the third quarter, with Kansas leading 69-31, Nebraska interim athletic director and three-time National Champion coach Tom Osborne had already placed an order for a custom-made casket to rest in when his time came. Nevertheless, Kansas' dominance was downright scary. Offensively, the layhawks took the fight out of the Cornhuskers. After a three-and-out on its first drive, Kansas had only three other drives that failed to net points. Two were a result of Kansas running out the clock at the end of each half, and the third ended with a missed 51-yard field goal attempt. Although Anthony Webb continued to be a non-factor returning punts, the Kansas offense didn't need him, stringing together five drives of at least 60 yards for touchdowns. For the second straight game, Brandon McAnderson couldn't be stopped. And Todd Reesing went Tom Brady on the Pinkshirts, throwing a school-record six touchdown passes compared with just 11 incompletions. Defensively, it looked initially that Kansas' secondary had been exposed. Ganz threw for 266 yards and burned All-American Aqib Talb twice for touchdowns in the first half. But the four front turned up the heat on Ganz, and the secondary tightened up, allowing only 139 yards in the second half, when Nebraska running back Marlon Lucky was in the backfield mostly for show. Kudos to defensive coordinator Bill Young for making the necessary adjustments. Kansas' 76 points were the most ever surrendered by a Nebraska team (although that record could fall again as long as Callahan is coach) and the list of offensive records went on from there for the Kansas. In fact, kudos to the entire Kansas football team. When you're down to your final three games of the season and your biggest concerns are your punt return and punting game, things couldn't be much better. The Jayhawks are starting to make a believer out of me — and that's saying something. Edited by Kaitlyn Syring GUEST COMMENTARY Cosgrove deserves appreciation BY JONATHAN CROWL UNIVERSITY DAILY NEBRASKAN COLUMNIST Nebraska fans probably would have loved it, especially those waving Kevin Cosgroves noose in the air. I was going to declare that I literally could have stepped in at defensive coordinator and allowed 76 points or less, referencing my extensive background in EA Sports" NCAA College Football." Then Cosgrove, after a long, long delay after the game, stepped out from the visitor's locker room, misty-eyed and quiet. He held his lips as stuff as he could, but the corners of his mouth quivered and turned down. There wasn't much to say, and from the looks of the lump in his throat, he wasn't able to say much anyway. Kansas had dropped 76 points on Nebraska, and I had my column. 8 "I'm sick about it" Cosgrove said. "Just sick about it." I'm not going to offer excuses or explana From the first loss against USC, Cosgrove has been lambasted, criticized, insulted and topped the side. Even before the sixth loss, when Nebraska's defense hit historic lows across the board, the surest thing about this football team was that Cosgrove was a winner. It's pretty clear Cosgrove has two games left as a Cornhusker — three if you're extremely optimistic. I'm not sure there's anyone like that left out there. tions. There's nowhere to begin, and nothing you can say to spin 11 touchdowns. I could fill the front page with criticism, but there's enough of that out there. So much, in fact, that I wonder if it's too much. What's the point in carrying it on? Negativity is addictive. And Nebraska fans, encouraged by the media, are bastardizing their defensive coordinator, it would appear, just for the fun of it. Pretty sick. Especially from those who consider themselves the greatest fans in the nation. Cosgrove has failed miserably this season. The defense has gone downhill. There's no way he could ever stay at Nebraska, not even with three straight shutouts.

Its defensive coordinator, Lyle Serenick, resigned one day after a 49-15 loss to Oklahoma State. Tech has struggled this year more than in most seasons, and the defense is pressing on after its coach walked away and left the players alone in a season of turmoil. Why people would want Cosgrove to do the same is beyond me. The right thing to do is to finish the job, to stand by his partners. Quitting when things get tough is a terrible life lesson to teach the young men in your care. And it isn't just about winning games. Kick the Kansan Even if it were, what would Coogresw's departure do for winning? There won't be any other reputable coordinator willing to come in and finish the job. To suggest that cutting a coach from a staff would improve its performance is the kind of thing that comes from the mouths of those who don't really know what they're talking about. And maybe I could have stepped in on game day and held Kansas to 76 points or less. There no way to ever know. But could I have led practices, or worked with individual players to improve their performance or recruited worth anything? Could I have devoted the time and effort in game preparation, or mentored young men, or kept my cool when everyone with a mouth tried to tear me down? No. Neither could you. That's not a criticism, either. It's the truth. That's what the greatest fans in college football would do. We'll see if they live up to their billing. So Cosgrove has one home game remaining next weekend, when the fans are sure to be hostile towards him. When he walks off the field, it would be nice to think the fans would at least show him appreciation for trying.

McAnderson rushed for more than 120 yards and scored four touchdowns during Saturday's homecoming game against Nebraska. FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) things corrected." Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Fortunately for the Jayhawk defense, the offense kept the team in the game during the first half by scoring three first quarter touchdowns and 48 first-half points. The Nebraska defense, which entered Saturday as the nation's worst run-stopping unit, stood helpless against an energetic and creative Kansas offense. Kansas gained 23 yards on an end-around run by Henry and 11 yards on a flea-flicker pass to freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe. Reeing executed offensive coordinator Ed Warinner's creative schemes with near perfection Saturday and finished with the most impressive statistical line of his career. The quarterback recorded 354 yards on 30-of-41 passing and set a new Kansas single-game record with six touchdown passes. Briscoe caught three touchdowns, and Henry gained 101 yards on six receptions. "We have a lot of different things we can do on offense," Reesing said. "We're not really limited by one thing so, depending on what the defense is going to do, we're going to pull out whatever we have to. They were moving the ball and we needed to counteract that and move the ball too." Using a mix of daring deep passes and standard off-tackle runs, the Jayhawks engineered impressive drives throughout the game and put together one of the finest offensive performances in the program's history. The Jayhawks scored the third most points in a single game in school history, and at one point, they scored touchdowns on 10 consecutive drives. "We just said, 'Let's keep running the offense; let's just see if we can keep rolling with our offense and run our system and let the kids continue to make plays,' Mangino said. "I didn't think wed score 76 points, but by the time we got to the middle of the third quarter, I knew we were going to score a lot of points." The Jayhawk run game also showed little room for improvement, topping 200 rushing yards for the third time in the last four games. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson piled up 119 yards and four touchdowns and sophomore running back Jake Sharp added 44 yards and a touchdown. Most importantly, the Kansas offense did not turn the ball over, forcing Nebraska to start drives from an average position of its own 27-yard line. "We aren't beating ourselves," McAnderson said. "In the past, it had been one of our huge problems. This year we have a different mentality, and we're more mature." Nebraska entered the game in a tailspin and Lawrence still spinning. The Cornhuskers extended their losing streak to five games and fell into a tie for last place in the Big 12 North standings. To add insult to injury, Kansas' 76-point outburst marked the most points Nebraska has ever allowed in a single game. Despite Nebraska's status as one of the most disappointing teams in the nation, Kansas' decisive victory was impressive because the team did exactly what it needed to do: stay undefeated and make a positive impression on pollsters and media around the nation. A decade ago, Nebraska was the team routinely scoring more than 50 points and rolling to 9-0 start in 2007, Kansas is that team. —Edited by Chris Beattie SCORING DRIVE CHART KANSAS NEBRASKA [ ] 1st Quarter KANSAS TD, 10 plays, 46 yards, 4:24 TOP TD, 7 plays, 68 yards, 2:19 TOP TD, 3 plays, 70 yards, 1:34 TOP TD, 6 plays, 50 yards, 1:51 TOP TP, 3 plays, 62 yards, 1:41 TOP NEBRASKA 2nd Quarter NEBRASKA T0, 19 plays, 70 yards, 4:24 TOP T0, 4 plays, 60 yards, 0:54 TOP T0, 4 plays, 61 yards, 1:07 TOP T0, 13 plays, 62 yards, 4:80 TOP F6, 8 plays, 70 yards, 1:04 TOP T0, 3 plays, 19 yards, 0:55 TOP KANSAS T0, 9 plays, 78 yards, 3:14 TOP T0, 8 plays, 44 yards, 3:14 TOP T0, 5 plays, 32 yards, 1:35 TOP T0, 4 plays, 30 yards, 1:11 TOP NEBRASKA 3rd Quarter Sarah Leonard/KANSAN 4th Quarter NEBRASKA 10, 3 plays, 87 yards, 1238 TD 10, 14 plays, 89 yards, 658 TD KANSAS 80 Freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe dives into the end zone for a touchdown.

Reesing threw for over 350 yards and a record six touchdowns ANSAN BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Nebraska defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove stripped the NU defensive starters of its "blackshirts" two weeks ago. The black jerseys were a sacred tradition for the Nebraska football team and worn by the eleven starters everyday at practice. They accompanied the Cornhuskers during five national championships from 1970 to 1997. Cosgrove said he took the privilege away, thinking the defense would earn them back. But after a 76-39 loss to Kansas, the Nebraska defense has a better chance at solving global starvation than getting the coveted practice jerseys returned. Nebraska head coach Bill Callahan was bombarded with questions from reporters asking how he would repair the defense. 0 8 Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Dezmon Briscoe, sophomore wide receiver strides down the field after another reception. Briscoe received for 52 yards on five catches. "If I knew the answers to all those questions, I wouldn't be answering this one," Callahan said. "It's just been very difficult for a lot of reasons. I'm not the type of person or coach to ever sit up here and give an excuse and I'm not going to start right now." The Jayhawks' 76 points were the most scored on the Cornhuskers in Nebraska's history. Nebraska also surrendered 572 total yards to Kansas and allowed it to score a touchdown on 10 straight possessions. The performance of the defense was particularly frustrating to the Cornhusker offense. Led by junior quarterback Joe Ganz's 405 yards and four touchdowns in his first career start, Nebraska attacked the Kansas defense like no other team had this season. Senior wide receiver Maurice Purify said it was hard to accept that 39 points wasn't enough. "I'm not saying you can't worry about the defense, but we have our job to do," he said. "Our job is just as hard as the defense's job, and we can't do both of them." Purify wasn't the only Cornhusker letting out his negative emotions. The score was 62-31 late in the third quarter when Kansas running back Brandon McAnderson pushed forward for one of his team's 12 successful third-down conversions. Nebraska defensive lineman Kevin Dixon exited the field yelling at teammates and flailing his arms after the play. Senior safety Bryan Wilson said the incident represented the defense's feelings in a game where it totally collapsed. "It's so far out there, it's such a stretch, it has never happened to guys on this team," Wilson said. "So we kind of didn't know what to do about it." Everything the Kansas offense tried on Nebraska worked. The secondary did nothing to prevent fayhawk sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing from throwing six touchdown passes. The defensive line was dominated all day as McAnderson rushed for four touchdowns. "We're trying to do everything we can; there's no other options referring to coaching changes and things of the nature." Callahan said. "We are going to do the best we can to finish this season with this staff." When asked whether the mention of coaching changes meant he 64 GANZ 12 Anna Faltermeyer/KANSAM Sophomore runningback Jake Sharp rushes the ball down the field during the game against Nebraska Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.

KANSAS, NOT KANSAS STATE Football notes It was a rough day all around for Kansas State. The Wildcats suffered an embarrassing loss at the hands of the Iowa State Cyclones and received several boos several hundred miles south in Memorial Stadium. The first round of unrest came when one of the pregame skydellers landed near midfield sporting a silver and purple parachute. About two quarters later, referee Randy Christal made a shameful slip-up, announcing a Kansas timeout as a "timeout taken by Kansas State." At that point, the crowd showered Christal with an unfriendly serenade of boos until he turned his microphone on and announced, "Correction — correction. Kansas." The numbers on the scoreboard weren't the only big figures involved in Saturday's game. The announced attendance of 51,910 set an all-time Memorial Stadium record, breaking the mark set at last year's Kansas State game. The announced attendance at Memorial Stadium has topped 40,000 in each game this season — most likely a biproduct of the Jayhawks' 9-0 start. RECORD-BREAKING ATTENDANCE HOLDING ON TO THE BALL Sopnomore quarterback Todd Reesing's 30-of-41 passing performance was his most accurate of the season. Of course, it helps when the receivers catch the ball. Kansas receivers dropped just one pass against Nebraska, a drastic improvement from the group's performance in recent weeks. After the game, coach Mark Mangino and Reesing both credited the receiving corps for its steady effort. Eight Jayhawks made at least one catch, and three gained more than 50 receiving yards. STUFFING THE RUN There wasn't much defense to speak of in the 76-39 game, but the Kansas run defense fared well. The Jayhawks gave up just 89 yards, 67 of which came in the fourth quarter when the game was far out of the Cornhuskers' reach. Nebraska junior running back Marlon Lucky, who entered the contest ranked third in the Big 12 Conference in rushing yards, mustered only 15 yards on eight carries. Freshman running back Roy Helu paced Nebraska with 56 rushing yards on nine carries. Junior linebacker Mike Rivera was the most crucial cog in the Kansas run defense, making a team-high seven tackles and forcing a fumble. resume Saturday. In addition to setting the single-game school passing touchdown record (6), Reeing set a new Kansas single-season passing touchdown CAMPAIGNING MANAGER TOUCHDOWNTODDREESING Reesing and Cosgrove's relationship had deteriorated because of the poor defense, Callahan refused to comment. Reeing made some large-scale improvements to his impressive record (23). His 26 career touchdown passes are fourth in school history, and his 2,543 passing yards rank 11th on the all-time school list. Reesing is now ranked 16th in SOMEONE TO HAVE A PHOTO OF YOU. the nation in passing efficiency. The Austin, Texas, native also garnered some praise from teammates and coaches. Mangino said the quarterback had the chance to be the best quarterback he had ever been associated with in his entire coaching career, and senior wide receiver Marcus Henry said he thought Reesing should contend for the Heisman trophy this season. RENAISSANCE MAN Saturday. Meier had a career-high four receptions for 42 yards, scored his first career receiving touchdown, carried the ball once for five yards and even played Meier quarterback in the fourth quarter. Because the game was already out of hand, Meier did not attempt any passes while playing quarterback. Meier is the first Kansas player to earn at least one rushing, one receiving and one passing touchdown in a season since Garfield Taylor accomplished the feat in 1981. Versatile sophomore receiver/ quarterback Kerry Meier enjoyed what might have been his best all-around game of the season last THE NEBRASKA BLUES Few Nebraska fans remained in Memorial Stadium after the blowout. But the ones who stayed took notice when Nebraska athletic director Tom Osbourne, who led the Cornhuskers to three national championships as a coach, walked by. They greeted Osbourne with screams of "Help us, Tom." After giving up the most points ever in Nebraska history, it's going to take more than Osbourne to get the starting defense its "blackshirts" back. in the 117-year, 1,179-game history of the program. The Cornhuskers' current five-game losing streak is their longest since 1958, and they are now tied for 10th in the Big 12 Conference standings, ahead of only Baylor. Junior quarterback Joe Ganz rolled up 405 passing yards in the first start of his career, but struggled mightily in the second half. Overall, Ganz completed just 50 percent of his passes and threw four interceptions. Saturday afternoon was ugly in a few different ways for the once-proud Nebraska Cornhuskers. The loss was just Nebraska's second in the past 39 games of the series, and Kansas gained more yards and scored more points than any Nebraska opponent NOT-SO-SPECIAL TEAMS Kansas' special teams were a mixed bag against Nebraska, to say the least. Senior punter Kyle Tucker nearly had his first and only punt blocked, barely getting it off in time NONE Herford but booting the ball sky-high and just 22 yards downfield. Nebraska took over at the Kansas 46-yard line and used the short field to its advantage, scoring a touchdown about four minutes later. Kansas kicker Scott Webb set a single-game school record by making 10 point-after-TDs, but missed one point-after attempt and his only field goal attempt. Junior wide receiver Marcus Herford enjoyed an outstanding effort returning kickoffs. He recorded two 49-yard returns and averaged 33.8 yards per return overall. Herford entered the game ranked first in the Big 12 in yards per kick return. Stat of the game... 10. At one point, Kansas put together 10 consecutive touchdown drives. After扑打 on the first possession of the game, the Jayhawks scored a touchdown on every single drive until a missed field goal late in the third quarter. Five minutes after the missed field goal, Kansas scored again for its 11th touchdown in 13 drives. Game to forget... Nebraska defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove. Saturday afternoon was as painful for Cosgrove as it was pleasant for Reeing and the Jayhawks. With the coaching staff's job security already in question and the Nebraska defense last in the nation in run defense, a 76-39 drubbing was not the sort of boost Cosgrove's career needed. Edited by Luke Morris View from press row — Asher Fusco The game was over when... The Kansas defense held Nebraska to two straight three- and-outs in the third quarter. Until the middle of the third quarter, the game had been an offensive free-for-all. Nebraska scored on its first possession of the second half to pull within 17 points, but Kansas stopped the team dead in their tracks on its next two possessions. During this stretch, Kansas opened up a 69-31 lead. Game to remember... Todd Reesing. The Kansas sophomore quarterback put together an unreal stat line against Nebraska. He set a single-game school record with six passing touchdowns, threw for 354 yards and displayed pinpoint accuracy by completing 77.5 percent of his passes. Don't be surprised if his name is mentioned in the Heisman talk in the coming weeks. — Asher Fusco BIG 12 POWER 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. 1.

SPORTS 7B RES KANSAS 82, PITTSBURG STATE 48 Jayhawks tame Gorillas KANSAS 4 MIT STATE 2 BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com Danielle McCray, sophomore guard-forward, takes a shot between two defenders during the game Sunday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse against Pittsburgh. McCray led team with 20 points. The opening minutes were a struggle, but a 19-4 run during 10 minutes of the first half sparked Kansas to an 82-48 exhibition victory against Pittsburg State Sunday night in Allen Fieldhouse. "I thought offensively we did a good job of sharing the ball. Defensively we had great energy, but we are going to have to get a little better on one-on-one defense," said head coach Bonnie Hickson. Pittsburg State forward Larissa Richards caused match-up problems for Kansas on both ends of the court early. The freshman had four points and five blocks in the first half. "Why we couldn't figure out a shot fake might be necessary after her third block, I don't really understand." Henrickson said. Sophomore Porscha Weddington came in and limited Richards' effect on the game, which then allowed fellow sophomore Danielle McCray to take over. McCray finished with a game- high 20 points, also adding seven rebounds, four assists and two steals. Like Henrickson, though, McCray recognizes that her team must improve defensively. "We need to focus on our defense, especially getting over to help," McCray said. "That was a big problem tonight." The Jayhawks went into half-time with an 11-point lead despite shooting just 30 percent from the field. But they came out on fire in the second half, scoring the first nine points. Sophomore Sade Morris chipped in with 15 points, Weddington tallied 8 and senior Taylor McIntosh pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds. Also getting into the action was freshman Nicollette Smith, who scored nine points, six of which came from two three-pointers. "She is a good player, but we have to be better on how we get her the ball," Henrickson said about Smith. Henrickson said Kansas would have plenty to work on before its second and final exhibition game with Emporia State on Thursday night. Emporia State is ranked No. 3 in the nation in Division II.

LAMBRENCE • KANSAS CITY Just *Cross the Bridge* 401 N. 2nd *842-0377* From the time players first pick up a ball, coaches emphasize the importance of making layups and taking advantage of open shots. Jayhawks dominate boards but shoot poorly in first half BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com During the first half of yesterday afternoon's season opener against Pittsburg State, Kansas' players seemed to have forgotten that simple lesson. Players miss open layups struggle in paint on offense WOMEN'S BASKETBALL The Jayhawks missed nine times in the paint in the first half, including on a variety of uncontested layups. Normally reliable players like senior forward Taylor McIntosh and junior forward Marija Zinic shot a combined 1-for-8 from the field as Kansas struggled to push its lead into double diets. "We have got to make high percentage shots, and we've got to get to the offensive glass," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Kansas accomplished the latter but couldn't capitalize on second chances. Despite outrebounding the Gorillas 33 to 13 in the first half, including 15 offensive rebounds, the Jayhawks didn't take advantage KANSAS 20 Kansas had plenty of reasons to be rushed, with 6-foot-3 freshman forward Larissa Richards providing protection around the rim for Pittsburg State. Richards blocked five shots in the opening period and helped limit Kansas to only 10 points in the paint. John Goering/KANSAN "Well, a lot of those rebounds for us came off missed shots," Henrickson said. "We sometimes played catch with ourselves when we would miss three of four shots." Sophomore guard Danielle McCray said the team's struggles finishing in the first half were a result of rushed shots. Henrickson said she was unhappy with her team's inability to adjust to Richards' defensive presence in the first half, especially players coming off the bench. Sade Morris drives on a Pittsburgh State defender during a Kansas 82- 48 win in its first exhibition game.

The Jayhawks' 2-1 victory boosted them to the third seed in the Big 12 Tournament, which starts on Wednesday in San Antonio. Kansas will play Oklahoma State in its first game. In their last game of the regular season, the Jayhawks played the best they have this year. Kansas wrapped up its regular season with a 2-1 victory against No. 18 Missouri Friday. The victory was the third straight for the Jawhaws. Although it was Senior Day, one freshman Jayhawk outshined the rest on Friday night. Freshman defender Katie Williams put two goals in the net, just minutes apart, after Missouri had taken a 1-0 lead. The Jayhawk players and fans alike were ecstatic, and the atmosphere at the game was the best possible conclusion to a rocky season — the Jayhawks won only one game out of their first 10. Williams' first goal came during the 71st minute when she headed the ball on a corner kick received from sophomore forward Monica Dolinsky. As the ball hit the net, shouts of joy erupted from the field and the bleachers. Less then four minutes later, Williams did exactly the same thing with a corner kick from the other side by sophomore forward Shannon McCabe. A STRONG FINISH After the team overcame a losing streak at the beginning of the season, Kansas' final record reached 7-9-4 overall and 5-2-3 in the Big 12. Texas' victory against Colorado this weekend put the Jayhawks into third place in the conference standings. This season marks the Jayhawks highest ranking since they entered the Big 12 Tournament ranked No. 1 in 2004. SENIORS HONORED Kansas' five seniors were honored in a ceremony after the game. After their families escorted them to the middle of the field, Kelsey Archuleta, Nicole Cauzillo, Colleen Quinn, Afton Sauer and Emily Strinden were greeted with flowers from their coaches and pictures with their teammates. UP NEXT Next up for the Jayhawks is the Big 12 Tournament in San Antonio, Texas. Their first game will be on Wednesday against Oklahoma State at 7:30 p.m. Edited by Matt Erickson SWIMMING & DIVING Kansas defeats Nebraska-Omaha The Kansas swimming and diving team capped a busy weekend in the water with a victory against Omaha Saturday, just 48 hours after losing to the Arkansas Lady Zarabacks in Robinson Natatorium. Ledigh On a day when the football team could not be stopped by Nebraska, the swimming team was equally impressive, winning all of the meet's events and rolling to a 153-67 victory over Nebraska-Omaha. A Kansas swimmer took first in every race and the team's overall dual meet record this season moves to 2-2. "It was our first dual meet in the morning," swimming coach Clark Campbell said, noting that the Big 12 Championships and other big races late in the season begin early in the day. "Being able to swim fast in the morning is a crucial part of our plan for the season." Junior Ashley Ledigh recorded a pair of victories in the 50-yard freestyle and the 50-yard butterfly while sophomore Emily Lanteigne won the 100-yard freestyle and was a member of the winning team for the 200-yard freestyle relay.

Edited by Meghan Murphy "Maria is really starting off the year about as good as you can," Campbell said. "She is not only improving herself, but she is also raising the bar for the rest of the team." The 86-point victory against Nebraska-Omaha came just two days after a one point defeat to the Arkansas Lady Razorbacks by a score of 150.5-149.5. Thursday night featured many close races and lead changes in the team scores throughout the competition. In the end, Arkansas pulled out the victory, despite great efforts by Jayhawk swimmers and divers. Freshman Erin Mertz tied for first place in the three-meter diving event and the 800-yard freestyle relay team of sophomores Ashley Robinson and Emily Lanteigne, junior Maria Mayrovich, and senior Terri Schramka claimed a victory in the competition. Mayrovich continued her impressive season on Thursday, setting another pool record, this time in the 100-yard freestyle race. On Oct. 26, Mayrovich broke the previous record for the 200-yard freestyle for a swimmer in Robinson Natatorium. "The meet could have gone either way," Campbell said.

Kansas came from behind to defeat Oklahma in five games. Garlington made 15 dots in the match. Playing in front of 1,089 fans at the Horeys Family Athletics Center, Kansas snapped a sixmatch losing streak by defeating a ranked opponent for the first time since Sept. 7, 2006 — a 3-0 victory against No. 16 Brigham Young. Kansas hadn't beaten a ranked conference opponent since defeating No. 20 Kansas State on Nov. 5, 2005. 01 BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com After Kansas' 3-2 (30-26, 28- 30, 20-30, 30-27, 15-10) come- from-behind upset against No. 18 Oklahoma, one thing was clear: Beachard's team listened. Kansas coach Ray Bechard had a few extra words of motivation for his team before Saturday's game against No. 18 Oklahoma. The Kansas basketball队 had beaten Pittsburg State Thursday, the women's soccer team had defeated Missouri Friday, and the football team had rolled over Nebraska earlier Saturday. "The kids were so happy in the locker room, and that's what its all about. They needed an opportunity to celebrate," Bechard said. "They've been working extremely hard, and we haven't been getting the results we wanted lately— until tonight." "I told them it was time for them to hold up their end of the bargain." Bechard said. Kansas improved to 11-14 and 4-11 in the Big 12, while Oklahoma fell to 18-7 and 10-5 in the Big 12. THE COMEBACK Kansas appeared poised to take a two games to zero lead early in the middle of game two. But Kansas let a 15-11 lead slip away and dropped game two 30-28. Oklahoma dominated game three 30-20. "What's nice about that, though, is there's not just one person on the team that gets plays done," Uhart said. "Everybody is contributing and doing their job and working their butt off." "I think we wanted to win so bad it hurt, and we got it done," Uhart said. Trailing two games to one, and behind 20-15 in game four, it looked like Kansas might be on its way to its seventh straight loss. But Kansas showed some grit and went on an 11-6 run, and senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart, who finished with 14 kills, served up an ace to tie the game at 26-26. Uhart After the dramatic game-four win, Kansas still had to finish off game five. With the game tied at 9-9, Kansas won three straight points on kills from senior right side Emily Brown, Noyes, and freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser to take a 12-9 lead. Kansas cruised from there to take a 15-10 game five win. "It felt so good, because we've been working so hard on everything." Kaiser said. Kaiser, who finished with a team-high 18 kills, said the team badly needed a victory. "You look back at this, and it's just a blur of teamwork and six people working together to make it happen, so we're thrilled about that." Bechard said. And whenever Kansas needed a play, somebody was there to step up. In addition to the Uhart's 14 kills and Kaiser's 18 kills, freshman outside hitter Karina Garlington had 12 kills and senior middle blocker Caitlin Mahoney had 11, giving Kansas four players with double-digit kills. Brown added 38 "We came out flat in game three, but let's give Oklahoma a little credit," Bechard said. assists and 15 digs, while sophomore Katie Martincich had her team-leading Martinchid double-double of the season with 23 assists and 16 digs. — Edited by Matt Erickson Audit • Tax • Transaction Advisory Services Follow the signs to a great career at Ernst & Young.

Campus Crusade for Christ suggests an accountability program called Covenant Eyes, which installs itself on addicts' computers to help them recover and get past their addiction. The program consists of a Web site tracker that notifies an accountability partner of the addict's choice anytime the addict visits a questionable Web site.

The group made 21 recommendation to reform health state care, including a 50-cent cigarette user fee and a statewide public cessation law. The State Legislature will begin reviewing the group's plan in January. Senator says lawmakers won't adopt recommendations BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com Smokers were on the hot seat Thursday when the Kansas Health Policy Authority announced its 21 recommendations to reform the state's health care system. The recommendations, part of a $158 million plan, included a statewide smoking ban and an increased tobacco tax. Among the 21 recommendations the agency revealed to the Kansas Legislature's Health Policy Oversight Joint Committee were an excise tax on cigarettes to raise the price by 50 cents per pack, another tax on smokeless tobacco products and a statewide public smoking ban. According to the authority, the tobacco tax, or "user fee", would produce revenue of $51.9 million a year. A 2007 poll by the Sunflower Foundation said 64 percent of Kansans would be in support of a tobacco user fee to decrease its use. "If we're going to talk about health care reform seriously, this has to be part of the debate," said Marcia Nielson, executive director of the Kansas Health Policy Authority. Rep. Bob Bethell (R-Alden), a member of the legislative committee, said the fee and the ban would single out a group of people who created public health problems by continuing their habit. Twenty percent of Kansans were smokers, he said, so the user fee had a very small group of people who would oppose it. He said studies had shown that when taxes were increased fewer people used the product. Bethell said it was important to remember the statistic was difficult to track because tobacco users may buy in another state to avoid the user fee. Jesus Castillo, Liberal senior and a smoker, said paying an extra 50 cents wouldn't keep him from buying cigarettes because it was something he chose to do and the government couldn't force him not to do it. Also proposed was the statewide smoking ban in public places. Lawrence enacted a citywide smoking ban in 2004. Castillo said he would be OK with a statewide smoking ban, too. He said smokers had the option of stepping outside restaurants and bars to smoke, but other people there didn't have that choice and were subjected to secondhand smoke. "It doesn't bother me because it's my individual choice," Castillo said. "I'd still do it anyway." Sen. David Haley (D-Kansas City), another committee member, said he knew a lot of work went into the authority's recommendations. He said it was only natural for the authority to look at the No. 1. public health problem and want to do something. "When the most preventable of public health problems is identified, any task force is going to be looking at ways to prevent its presence," Haley said. Haley said statistics had shown that increasing the cost of cigarettes reduced their usage and the money raised could go to health care in Kansas. He said the legislature had looked at a statewide smoking ban and cigarette tax increase before but chose not to adopt it. Haley said that even though the increased tobacco tax of 50 cents was called a "user fee" rather than a tax, he still thought the legislature would be resistant. "The legislature has always had a hesitancy to impose tax increases," Haley said. "And I think the legislature still uses the cliché, 'If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a duck.'" Nielson said polls had shown that the public supported the user fee increase and statewide smoking ban. She said 22 community tours, four advisory councils and many meetings with stakeholders had gone into the research for the reform proposals. The recommendations will be reviewed in the 2008 legislative session, which begins Jan.14.

KU SCHOOL OF LAW The University of Kansas The University of Kansas THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2007 NEWS 3A >> TECHNOLOGY Software keeps a Christian eye on porn addicts Covenant Eyes tracks Web addresses informs a friend of questionable sites BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com It can start with a simple click on a link. Suddenly, a window pop up on your computer screen with photos and videos of naked people in various sexual positions. Some people close the window and don't think anything of it. For others, it opens the door to pornography addiction. Campus Crusade for Christ offers a voluntary solution to pornography addiction. The computer program, Covenant Eyes, installs itself on the computer, then tracks all the URLs the addict visits. The program sends a report to a friend the addict chooses as an accountability partner. All questionable sites are highlighted in red. The program also includes a panic button, which blocks Internet access until the addict calls customer support. The addict pays a monthly fee to use the program, but the organization offers a discount for students. The person cannot take the Covenant Eyes program off the computer without the permission of the accountability partner. One Dallas junior said he had been looking at pornography online since high school. He said he started using the program about a year ago after he realized his behavior conflicted with his Christian beliefs. "I just wanted some accountability," he said. Chaz Stele, Lawrence resi udent and former University of Kansas student, plays accountability partner for five students at the University. He said he had struggled with pornography addiction for about six years before he found the Covenant Eyes program. "I realized I had a problem long before I became a Christian," Stele said. "I had a really bad conscience, and I thought it was morally wrong to look at women fornicating with men on the Internet. Then I met some guys in Campus Crusade for Christ that introduced me to the program." Stele said a friend volunteered to be his accountability partner and called him weekly. Together, they figured out the triggers that provoked him to look at pornography and eventually, he overcame his addiction. Stele said overcoming his addiction made him want to help others with their addictions. He said he had several methods to help his friends through their addictions. In addition to weekly phone calls and counseling sessions, Steele said, he sometimes has the addicted friend write a Bible verse on a note card to look at while walking around on campus. That way, the friend can have something to look at rather than staring lustfully at girls.

Shuttle Discovery's astronauts surveyed the wings of their ship Monday to ensure a safe descent over the American heartland after leaving the international space station. down on at least two states. Discovery was not supposed to re-enter over the entire United States re-enter over the entire United States — just Florida after zooming up from the southwest over Central America and the Caribbean. But that original plan would have entailed a pre-dawn landing, and shuttle commander Pamela Melroy preferred a safer, easier touchdown in daylight, said shuttle program manager Wayne Hale. This 15-day mission is longer than most — and more stressful, too, with the astronauts' impromptu repair to the torn solar wing at the space station. As a result, crew fatigue must be considered. Hale said. Discovery's new path will have it descending early Wednesday afternoon over the Canadian coast and the Pacific Northwest, down across the Midwest and the South, and on into Florida. "For an undamaged orbiter — and we'll confirm that it's undamaged — this constitutes a very minimal and deemed to be a safe risk to Fly over the middle of the United States," Hale said. The thorough inspection used the same laser- and camera-tipped boom that two weeks ago found Discovery's heat shield to be free of any significant launch damage. Monday's check was for any strikes by micrometeorites or space junk in orbit. Engineers will review this late data into Tuesday, and only then will mission managers give Discovery the green light to come home. Shuttle Atlantis, meanwhile, is being prepped for launch as early as Dec. 6 to the space station. I am so proud of you. I will be there for you every time you need me.

KU SCHOOL OF LAW The University of Kansas THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2007 NEWS 3A TECHNOLOGY Software keeps a Christian eye on porn addicts Covenant Eyes tracks Web addresses informs a friend of questionable sites BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com It can start with a simple click on a link. Suddenly, a window pops up on your computer screen with photos and videos of naked people in various sexual positions. Some people close the window and don't think anything of it. For others, it opens the door to pornography addiction. Campus Crusade for Christ offers a voluntary solution to pornography addiction. The computer program, Covenant Eyes, installs itself on the computer, then tracks all the URLs the addict visits. The program sends a report to a friend the addict chooses as an accountability partner. All questionable sites are highlighted in red. The program also includes a panic button, which blocks Internet access until the addict calls customer support. The addict pays a monthly fee to use the program, but the organization offers a discount for students. The person cannot take the Covenant Eyes program off the computer without the permission of the accountability partner. One Dallas junior said he had been looking at pornography online since high school. He said he started using the program about a year ago after he realized his behavior conflicted with his Christian beliefs. "I just wanted some accountability," he said. Chaz Stele, Lawrence resident and former University of Kansas student, plays accountability partner for five students at the University. He said he had struggled with pornography addiction for about six years before he found the Covenant Eyes program. "I realized I had a problem long before I became a Christian," Stele said. "I had a really bad conscience, and I thought it was morally wrong to look at women fornicating with men on the Internet. Then I met some guys in Campus Crusade for Christ that introduced me to the program." Stele said a friend volunteered to be his accountability partner and called him weekly. Together, they figured out the triggers that provoked him to look at pornography and eventually, he overcame his addiction. Stele said overcoming his addiction made him want to help others with their addictions. He said he had several methods to help his friends through their addictions. In addition to weekly phone calls and counseling sessions, Stele said, he sometimes has the addicted friend write a Bible verse on a note card to look at while walking around on campus. That way, the friend can have something to look at rather than staring lustfully at girls.

TELEVISION Strike forces late-night shows to air reruns BY GARY GENTILE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Americans may be getting more sleep after Hollywood writers went on strike Monday and forced the nation's late-night talk shows to start airing runs. WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA, FAST WGA=E A CREATIVE WRITE ON STRIKE STRIKE WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA, WGA=E A CREATIVE WRITE ON STRIKE STRIKE WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA, FAST WGA=E A CREATIVE WRITE ON STRIKE STRIKE NBC said "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" would immediately air repeats. Still, Leno made an appearance at the Burbank studio, arriving on a motorcycle to visit strikers walking a picket line. CBS said "The Late Show with David Letterman" would also offer repeats all week. The list of casualties included every other major late-night show. Members of the Writers Guild of America picket nBC headquarters in New York on Monday. Film and TV writers resolved to put down their pens and take up picket sions after last-ditch talks failed to avert a strike. The first strike by Hollywood writers in nearly 20 years got under way with noisy pickets on both coasts after last-minute negotiations on Sunday failed to produce a deal on payments to writers from shows offered on the Internet. Nick Counter, chief negotiator for the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, said he expected a long standoff. "From our standpoint, we made every good faith effort to negotiate a deal, and they went on strike," he ASSOCIATED PRESS said. "At some point, conversations will take place. But not now." The strike will not immediately impact production of movies or prime-time TV programs. Most studios have stockpiled dozens of movie scripts, and TV shows have enough scripts or completed works in hand to last until early next year. NASA Shuttle to fly over Midwest before landing BY MARCIA DUNN ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Shuttle Discovery's astronauts surveyed the wings of their ship Monday to ensure a safe descent over the American heartland after leaving the international space station. On the ride home Wednesay, the space shuttle will make the first coast-to-coast re-entry since Columbia shattered in the sky over Texas in 2003 and sent tens of thousands of pounds of wreckage raining down on at least two states. Discovery was not supposed to re-enter over the entire United States just Florida after zooming up from the southwest over Central America and the Caribbean. But that original plan would have entailed a pre-dawn landing, and shuttle commander Pamela Melroy preferred a safer, easier touchdown in daylight, said shuttle program manager Wayne Hale. This 15-day mission is longer than most — and more stressful, too, with the astronauts' impromptu repair to the torn solar wing at the space station. As a result, crew fatigue must be considered, Hale said. "For an undamaged orbiter — and we'll confirm that it's undamaged — this constitutes a very minimal and deemed to be a safe risk to fly over the middle of the United States," Hale said. Discovery's new path will have it descending early Wednesday afternoon over the Canadian coast and the Pacific Northwest, down across the Midwest and the South, and on into Florida. The thorough inspection used the same laser- and camera-tipped boom that two weeks ago found Discovery's heat shield to be free of any significant launch damage. Monday's check was for any strikes by micrometeorites or space junk in orbit. Engineers will review this late data into Tuesday, and only then will mission managers give Discovery the green light to come home.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2007 BITS O'WISDOM PAGE 5A A tribute to Professor Wallace Johnson An inspiring, memorable teacher will be missed by all who knew him BEN COHEN Imagine, if you will, the following scenario: A crowd consisting of 200 college students piles into a fairly large lecture hall late in the afternoon. When their class is supposed to start, the door opens and an old man ambles in, walks down the steps and does not seem to mind, or even notice, for that matter, the people all around him. This kind of situation played out in front of my eyes a few times a week during the fall semester of my sophomore year at KU, I, and evidently everyone else who ever took Myths, Legends and Folk Belief of East Asia, would spend the rest of the year raving about not only the class, but also about that old man who would casually walk in and give us a taste of his encyclopedic knowledge of the various cultures of that part of the world. Eventually, he makes his way to the front of the class, where he sits down at a desk, puts up his feet and looks like he is ready to take a refreshing nap. The catch here is that he stays awake, and he talks. And when he talks, with a southern accent that some people will liken to Foghorn Leghorn, it is, of all things, a story about a Japanese woman being plagued by a kitsune, a mythical fox which brings bad luck upon all those that it follows. Prof. Wallace Johnson did not have any gimmick to his lectures. He didn't have a running joke, or some noticeable tic that people could snicker at. He just talked, and he did it well. Whatever the subject, whether it be the tortured love of Izanami and Izanagi, or how the world as we know it is actually the body of a dead giant, or even the events of a Korean séance, it came as naturally to Prof. Johnson as football statistics to Al Michaels. When he lectured, it was like your grandfather was telling stories about his youth. I write this because, as many know by now, Prof. Johnson, who introduced himself to both classes of his that I took that year as "Wally," passed away recently. Reportedly, he had a heart attack and collapsed on his way to the Merc to pick up a copy of the New York Times. Yes, he died getting a newspaper from the natural foods market. If there is a more KU way to go out, I don't want to know about it. It was not just the East Asian Languages and Cultures department that lost something special that day, it was all of KU. Such talent in any field, let alone that of a college professor, is a rare thing indeed, and all who got to listen to Wally Johnson knew what a treat they were getting when he taught them. I feel bad for everyone who is going to take one of the classes he once taught in the future. The course material will still be as interesting as it ever was, but there will not be that one special factor which could captivate people week-in and week-out that there once was. So, sadly, all who were fortunate enough to take one of Prof. Johnson's classes can now only fondly remember both the fun moments, such as when he presented his theory that the long drought the KU football team had been suffering up to that point was due to the poor chi flow to Memorial Stadium, and the genuinely academic, like his ability to recount the creation stories of at least three East Asian nations by heart, within a 50-minute class period per story. No matter what, he always hold the entire class's attention from start to finish. Prof. Johnson will be missed greatly by those of us who heard him speak, and by the entire University, which was benefited for many years by his unforgettable presence.

Colorado ticketing policy unreasonable Fans are unable to purchase single-game tickets to the Kansas game in February Saturday, Feb. 2, the KU men's basketball team will travel to Boulder will travel to Boulder, Col., to take on the Colorado Buffaloos. When it comes to fan attendance, however, it might be hard to spot someone in blue. Colorado's ticketing policy for the KU game demands a boycott. Colorado is not selling single-game tickets to the KU game this year. Instead, fans wishing to purchase tickets must do so using the U Pickem' Pack. The package, which includes the KU game as well as any two others (including conference games), comes out to $72.50 ($20 per game, plus $3.50 per game in fees and a $2 package order charge). No other Big 12 game is subject to these limitations. KU fans living in Colorado or western Kansas aren't always able to make the trip into Lawrence to see men's basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse. Their only opportunity to see a basketball game this season might be traveling to Boulder. As a reward for their loyalty, they're made to see two games they probably don't care about, or pay three times the usual ticket price, depending on what they do with the other two tickets in the pack. They could always sell the two tickets, but then again, Colorado basketball isn't exactly a big draw. Therein lies the motive for the bundling. KU basketball is a big draw, and fans travel well.The Colorado ticketing program will have one of two outcomes: Diehard KU fans will go ahead and purchase the pack, providing financial and possibly attendance support to two meaningless games, or many fans will decline to purchase any tickets at all. This doesn't help Colorado's program financially, but it might ensure a more friendly home crowd at the game. It is troubling that Colorado's athletics department would use KU's notoriety and its fans' dedication to make money. The basketball program has worked hard to establish one of the best teams in the nation, and in return, this recognition is exploited. With no other conference team would this program work. The ideal solution would be for Colorado to have its own outstanding basketball program, negating the need to piggyback on a successful team. Fans should want to purchase non-KU game tickets because they love seeing the Buffalooes play, not because it's the only way to see a better team. This practice is insulting not only to KU, but also to the Colorado men's basketball team. It insinuates that they're not good enough to draw fans on their own. While it may be true, it doesn't help the Buffaloes' morale. Colorado's ticketing policies are their own. It is their prerogative to distribute tickets as they see fit, but it is not KU fans' obligation to give in to it. If fans quake and purchase the U Pickem' Pack, it sends the message that this ticketing practice is a success. It will likely stay in place year after year, and Colorado will continue to make money off of KU's achievement. Until Colorado reinstitutes a fair ticketing policy, fans should refuse to buy the U Pickem' Pack. Unfortunately, there might be more black and gold in the stands in Boulder come February. KU will probably win anyway. DRAWING BOARD WHAT'S UP? I THOUGHT YOU HAD ENGLISH HOMEWORK. I DO. I JUST PROGRAMMED MY CALCULATOR TO WRITE HAIKU AND SHORT PROSE. MAX RINKEL NICE AND ACCURATE PROPHECIES Gender equality works both ways In the war of the roses, men are taught to treat women with kid gloves, which doesn't do either sex any favor. BENJAMIN R. SMITH BENJAMIN R. SMITH It's like my masculinity is a handicap. I hear one thing but I know I'm not getting the whole message. good marriage and a couple sons who, they knew, would grow up to be really awesome (public approval rating still pending). I swear, women are wonderful most of the time, but there comes the eventual argument that makes me want to move to Scotland so I can be closer to Johnnie Walker. My brother and I were taught the feminist values mixed in with our general helping of everyday morality. When I was a little boy, my mother was an 80s feminist. She had a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from a good college. Aside from working full-time and raking in the dough, she and her husband had a Of course my favorite lesson occurred when the little girl from across the street hauled off and snacked me right across the face because she'd seen a girl do it to a boy in a movie. My mother grabbed my hand, poised as it was in retaliatory action, just in time and said, "Gentlemen don't hit!" So, ladies, in that moment it was made clear to me that if, in the future, men and women have become militarily opposed and both factions are on opposite sides of the battlefield (innie's on one side, outies on the other) you will have the option of first strike and we will have to just quietly awaiting our own annihilation. Now, forgive me for being logical, but I'm sick of this. I'm sick of that old joke, "If a man speaks in the forest and a woman is not there to hear him, is he still wrong?" I'm sick of keeping my head down and hoping for the best. As a man I morally support equality on all fronts. Women, homosexuals, blacks, Palestinians, Israelis, Russians, Venusians—all of us should really have a cookout and hug. But it's getting so that when I have a legitimate grievance and ensuing argument with the opposite sex, I'm not allowed to win on the basis that I am a man and therefore habitually wrong. To generalize is dangerous. I have won arguments with women. But damn it, they are the first to pipe up and say something along the lines of, "Well of course he won, he's so pig-headed." The fact that I can't hit a girl back is fine with me. I'm a pacifist, now. I circumvented my reliance on animal justice in the 7th grade when I nearly injured a boy for pushing me too far. I don't mind if a woman wins her arguments fair and square. Power to her! But the girl who holds up her hand and says, "Well, you'll never understand because you're a man." That's a real sign that I'm talking to a very nice, pretty, opinionated, lazy person who would be reasonable if only they had some sort of respect for how much effort it sometimes takes guys like me to keep from leaping across the table and forgetting that rule mom taught us so long ago "Gentlemen don't hit!"

She is the leading scoring for the team this season with five goals and three assists. Cazulillo will graduate this May with a bachelor's degree in English, and she hopes to work for Teach for America in Denver. Big goals on and off the field Cauzillo hopes to lead her team to a Big 12 Tournament victory in her final season BY ALISON CUMBOW cumbow@kansan.com After a slew of injuries that took her off the field for most of last year, senior mid-fielder Nicole Cauzillo, from Northville, Mich., has been back in action this season on the Kansas soccer team. This is Cauzillo's last season as a Jayhawk, and she is looking to out with a bang, and a Big 12 Tournament victory to remember forever. Cauzillo's Michigan twang wants talking to her easy, and her laugh is contagious. Cauzillo has spunk and a friendly personality on and off the soccer field. Although she has been a dominant player this season, Cauzillo claims she has never able to master the perfect game-face. Last season, Cazuillo came down with mononucleosis and was given a medical redshirt by the NCAA. After missing most of last year's playing time, she petitioned to regain her spot on this year's squad. Cauzillo has since become the leading scorer on the team with five goals and three assists, and has shown her teammates, her coach and her fans exactly why she deserved her starting spot back. Despite a disappointing team record in the beginning of the season, the jayhawks bounced back to finish at 7-9-4 overall, and 5-2-3 in Big 12 play. To help get her team back on the road to success, Cauzillo has sometimes had to step up as a forward, and pull some of her teammates' weight on the field. She said she loved playing midfield because she had the opportunity to play offense and defense if needed.

The trio will spend a lot of time on the court together until guard Brandon Rush returns from a knee injury. Photos by Anna Falterman/KMSA In Rush's absence, 'three little guards' strengthen offense, tighten defense mdent@kansan.com BY MARK DENT When Kansas coach Bill Self talks about the trio of Russell Robinson, Sherron Collins and Mario Chalmers, he refers to them as the three little guards. OK, none of them stand taller than 6-feet-1-inch, or weigh more than 205 pounds, but little? The word seems inappropriate because they're going to play such a large role this season. Chalmers, Robinson and Collins will likely start and spend 15 to 20 minutes on the floor together until guard Brandon Rush returns from a knee injury. Their presence should make the offense a little faster and the defense a little tighter. "It doesn't bother me at all that we play three point guards," Self said. "The key thing This isn't a new experiment for college basketball. Three guards have played together before and played well together. In 2002, Kansas started freshman point guard Aaron Miles alongside senior sharp-shooter Jeff Boschee and Kirk Hinnich — all three had played point guard at some point in their KU careers. The Jayhawks went 16-0 in Big 12 play and earned a Final Four berth. Self's old school, Illinois, is another example. is that you've got to have one of them that's probably a decent rebounder, and Russell can do that. I see us playing very small a lot of the time." Guards Dee Brown, Luther Head and Deron Williams played nearly every minute together for Illinois in the 2004-2005 season. None were taller than 6-feet-3-inches. They out-sprinted and outsmarted opponents that year all the way to the national title game. Self's plan is for Chalmers, Robinson and With the three little guards in the lineup, the team can run until it gets tired and then run some more. Collins can move from one end of the court to the other as quickly as any guard in college basketball. Chalmers is one of the best shooters on the team, and Robinson rarely makes a bad decision in transition. Collins to make Kansas just as fast. Earlier this season he asked his players whether they thought they ran enough. The players said not nearly enough. The fast-breaking strength of the three guards was on display Thursday night against Pittsburg State. The team had 15 points in transition. Chalmers, Robinson and Collins scored a combined 39 points and handed out 15 assists. SEE BASKETBALL ON PAGE 3B FOOTBALL Kansas' ability to hang on to ball contrasts with Nebraska's inconsistent offense A more telling statistic lies a twen inches farther down the stat sheet; turnover margin. Nebraska gave the ball away five times while Kansas held onto the ball on all 90 of its offensive plays. For the second consecutive game, Kansas did not record a giveaway, stretching its turnover margin to plus-16, the second-best in the nation. Good turnover rate keeps Kansas ahead "One of the key stats for our football team is turnover margin," Mangino said. "That's a key stat because it means the offense is taking care of the ball and the defense is getting turnovers and creating short fields for the offense. We're doing well in that area." Kansas is doing better than "well" in the turnover department. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing has not thrown an interception since Oct. 6 at Kansas State, a stretch of 139 pass attempts. The Jayhawks have not lost a fumble in their last two games and have lost only seven all season. BY ASHER FUSCO On the other side of the ball, the Kansas defense is doing its fair share of stealing. The Jayhawks have forced 27 turnovers, tying for second in the nation. afusco@kansan.com Comparing yardage totals from last Saturday's game, it would be tough to explain the 76-39 shellacking Kansas gave Nebraska.

And she has. Cauzillo has three three-point contests this season and has recorded a goal and an assist in games against Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Nebraska this year. This season Cauzillo has also recorded the most shot attempts at 13, and she has a 76.9 percent shots on goal mark. In her career at Kansas, she has scored a total of nine goals, taken 87 shot attempts — 45 of those on goal — and had three game-winning goals. PATH TO KANSAS Cauzillo began playing with a soccer ball when she was three years old. Always having looked up to her older sister, who also played soccer, Cauzillo began playing competitively at age eight. She stayed on the same club team, the Michigan Hawks, for eight years. After the team won a national championship, it was time for Cauzillo to take the next step and left to play at West Virginia University. She said the school's record drew her to it initially. During her freshman year, she started all 23 matches with the Mountaineers, and recorded three goals and two assists on the season. Unhappy with the dynamic of the team, Cauzillo began to look at her options for transferring. Her desire to regain the same sense of unity shed had playing on her club team led her to the University of Kansas for her sophomore year. "I had heard good things about Coach Francis," she said. "I really liked the team and the campus. I think the KU campus is one of the most beautiful there." During her sophomore year, Cauzillo was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, started 18 games and came in third on the team with 14 points for the season. Her junior year, she served as a co-captain for the lajhawks. In the fall, she suffered a concussion after an Oklahoma State player butted heads with her in a chase for the ball. NCAA mandates that a player suffering from a concussion must sit out from games for three weeks after the injury — a large part of the season. During the spring, Cauzillo, excited to get back on the field, discovered she had mono and was given a medical red shirt for the remainder of the season. Now Cauzillo is back on the field and racking up points. She said it felt really good to be doing so well this season. "It was hard to get back into the speed of play," she said, "I missed soccer a lot." She is especially happy to be sans injuries. Well, except for one. During the summer before her senior year, Cauzillo played on a semi-professional team, and in an attempt to score, she headed the ball into the net, but landed awkwardly on her hand. The goal was scored, but she ended up with more than a sense of accomplishment — she had torn the muscle from the bone in her thumb. The injury still requires that she wear a brace, although it doesn't have much of an effect on Cauzillo's game. Estatic to be back on the field for her final season, one of Cazillos' personal goals is to make it through smoothly. "I think my injuries have taught me a lot." Cauzillo said. "They've been stuff I can recover from. But I want to finish this season injury-free." SUPPORTERS Cauzillo has a huge support group to get her through this season. Her mother, Linda Cauzillo, tries to make it to every home game and travels to Kansas from Michigan to also hang out with her daughter on the weekends. Her boyfriend of two years, senior Aumur Mahobian, travels on the road with her as much as he can. He also wears Cauzillo's jersey when he watches her games and his pride in his girlfriend is obvious. "She makes really good passes, and she has really good touches. She just plays really smart and makes her teammates better," Mahobian said. "When she plays the whole 90 minutes, she can really control the pace of the game. She has so much energy, and she is always running. She's overcome a lot." In addition to her mom and boyfriend, her biggest fans just might be her younger cousins, who come from Overland Park to cheer her on. Sometimes they come with big signs, and other times they can be heard yelling words of encouragement so loudly that it's hard not to join in. Her youngest cousin, seven-year-old Jack Krebs, said he liked watching Cauzillo and especially liked to see her score goals. It seems as though everyone, including her coach, is proud of Cauzillo, considering the odds she's had to overcome and how well she has performed this season. "I think it's good that she stuck it out. She's had a couple of rough seasons. She's taken advantage of the opportunity knowing that there was a possibility she wouldn't have been playing," coach Mark Francis said. "She's very persistent. I'm happy for her." Cauzillo has also earned honors this year, by receiving nods from organizations outside of the University. She was selected in her junior year and this year for the Academic All-District 7 Second Team by ESPN The Magazine in late October. Cauzillo is also a two-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection, and is eligible to be named to the team again this year. As a senior, Cauzillo won't be able to play games with the team for the THE FUTURE spring season. However, she said coach Francis would be allowing her to practice with the team, because she plans to go on a mission trip to Ethiopia with a semi-professional soccer team in the summer. With her last game of the regular season behind her and the Big 12 Soccer Championships rapidly approaching, the question of what she will do next isn't far off. Cauzillo will graduate in May with a degree in English and has high hopes for what she'll do after her summer is over. "I'm applying for Teach for America. I would love to be in Denver, and that where I put as my most preferred spot. I would like to coach a younger team as well," she said. Soccer-wise, Cauzillo hopes to see her team make it far in the Big 12 championship and the NCAA tournament this season. Cauzillo's dedication to the sport she loves, determination to make her last season the best and her overall ambition for success just might get herself and her teammates there. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell KU 46 59 59 Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Sophomore defensive back Justin Thornton runs downfield after intercepting a Nebraska pass attempt. Kansas caught four interceptions for more than 65 yards. FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Kansas' uncanny ability to hold onto the ball stood in bold contrast to Nebraska's sloppy offense later. last weekend. Nebraska quarterback Joe Ganz, make his first career start, heaved the ball into heavy coverage repeatedly and ended the game with Kansas' uncanny ability to hold onto the ball stood in bold contrast to Nebraska's sloppy offense last weekend. The Jayhawks' opportunistic streak is not coincidental - players and coaches alike cite the four interceptions. Reesing threw more touchdowns in one game against the Nebraska defense (six) than he has thrown interceptions all season (four). "He played lights-out," Mangino said. "He was patient when he had to be on his reads and got the ball to the open guy. He also did a good job of knowing when to throw the ball and when to pull it down." alike cite the importance of keeping the team's turnover margin in "plus" territory. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson said the team's 9-0 start was directly correlated to the team's ability to take care of the ball, and senior wide receiver Marcus Henry credited Reesing for his four consecutive interception-free games. "The biggest thing is our turnover margin. As of today we're plus-13 or something on turnover margin," junior center Ryan Cantrell said. "That's huge because it adds a little bit more fuel to the fire and makes us want to protect the ball." Cantrell may not have his turnover margin numbers exactly correct, but he has the general idea: Taking care of the ball and taking the ball away from opponents have helped Kansas to a 9-0 start and the No. 4 spot in the BCS rankings.

Jayhawk Bookstore "That's what we wanted and that's what Coach Self wants. He wants us to just go and run every chance," Collins said. "We have to be more scrappy because it's three guards and sometimes there's going to be match-up problems. But we just have to go to the boards, and if we make people shoot bad shots we can run." BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Forcing opponents to miss could be a problem. One of the little guards will have to defend the three man for opposing teams, who will likely be at least three inches taller. A taller player could post up against Collins, Chalmers or Robinson and get rebounds more easily. The rebounding problem was apparent last Thursday, Pittsburg State, a Division II school, out-rebounded Kansas 36-33. Chalmers didn't grab a single rebound. www.jayhawkbookstore.com Self wants their defensive intensity to spread throughout the rest of the team. Robinson expects the three guards to be team leaders. Chalmers, Robinson and Collins won't be in the starting lineup all season. One of them will likely come off the bench once Rush returns, and their time on the floor together will diminish. Until then, Kansas will have three little guards playing a big role, and Self couldn't be any more pleased. "I personally wouldn't trade them for anybody," he said. "I really believe that there are a lot of good guards in the country, and this is the year of the "Guys look up to us, and we appreciate that," Robinson said. "We try to be the best example we can, and they follow our lead and model as great basketball players with great work ethic." The lack of size could hurt, but the trio's quickness could make up for it. They're three of the best defenders Kansas has to have in memory when it comes to applying Kansas vs. Fort Hays State, 7 p.m. Allen Fieldhouse pressure and stealing the ball. The Sons of Steal — Chalmers, Collins and Robinson — stole the ball nine times against Pittsburg State. The Jayhawks play their second and final exhibition game tonight against the Tigers, another Division II opponent from the MIAA Conference. Kansas coach Bill Self wants the team to improve its defense and rebounding after getting out-rebounded by Pittsburgh State last week and allowing the Gorillas to shoot 40 percent from the field. gametime point guard they're saving. Last year there were a lot of good big guys. This year there's probably more guard play, and our guards can match up with anybody. All three are good."

A unique look at KU athletics through a country legend's lens It might have been the best single-day performance in history. Tickets were scarce, records were broken — and wow, the statistics were astronomical. No, I'm not talking about the Kansas vs. Nebraska game on Saturday. I'm talking about Garth Brooks selling out nine consecutive shows at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., on Oct. 5. Who sells 140,000 tickets in one day? Are you kidding me? Let's see Todd Reeing do that. The first show was last night, and Brooks will be headlining shows through Nov. 12 with a show on Nov. 14. So in honor of the greatest entertainer in music history, here's the first annual Garth Brooks Song Dedication Spectacular. DEDICATED TO BRANDON RUSH: Garth Brooks" "Unanswered Prayers" BY RUSTIN DODD RDODD@KANSAN.COM Rush declared for the NBA draft and was all set to cash in on a huge NBA payday. Unfortunately, Rush's ACL had other ideas. After having surgery to repair his knee, Rush is a few weeks away from stepping back on the floor for the lajhawks. Nobody knows how Rush will perform, but if he is able to lead Kansas to the Final Four in March and then find a spot in the NBA lottery in June, he might just realize that, as Garth Brooks says, "Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers." DEDICATED TO THE KANSAS FOOTBALL TEAM: Garth Brooks 'Callin' Baton Rouge "Callin' Baton Rouge" So Baton Rouge, La., isn't technically New Orleans. In fact, the cities are 81 miles apart. But if the Jayhawks miraculously find a way to win out — they'd have to beat Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium and Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship in San Antonio — they would all be assured a spot in the BCS National Championship game at the Superdome in New Orleans. Believe it, four victories in the next four weeks catapults Kansas over any one-loss teams in the BCS ranking. DEDICATED TO RUNNING BACK BRANDON MCANDERSON BRANDON MCANDERSON: Garth Brooks "The Thunder Rolls" — McAnderson took a redshirt — for Kansas coaches to realize that McAnderson could run the ball — and run it well? Garth Brooks The Thunder Runs The guy they call B-Mac is the "The thunder" to Jake Sharp's "lighting" And McAnderson has definitely been rolling lately. McAnderson is averaging 151.5 yards rushing in his last two games. The only question: Why it took five years McAnderson did. DEDICATED TO NEBRASKA FOOTBALL FANS: Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Place" All right. I know the game was last weekend, and everybody is piling on the Huskers. But 76 points? I haven't seen a defensive performance that bad since (insert disaster war reference here). You have to feel for Nebraska. Imagine if Kansas basketball ever went into a funk like that. The campus would be comatose. But, hey, at least wed still have football. Wow, I didn't ever think I'd say that. Edited by Jeff Briscoe women's basketball notebook REUNITED Former coach and player were reunited briefly as senior forward Taylor McIntosh faced her former high school coach, Pittsburg State's recently appointed Lane Lord, for the first time in college. The two combined to win back-to-back 6A state championships at Wichita Heights during McIntosh's sophomore and junior seasons as well as four straight City League titles. The duo led the Falcons to 89 victories in four years while losing only eight times. "I love Taylor," Lord said. "She is like a daughter to me, and I was really proud of her. Obviously, she has become a really outstanding student athlete." Andrew Wiebe FIRST IMPRESSIONS Three freshmen made their Kansas debts Sunday afternoon in the Jayhawks 82-48 victory against Pittsburg State. State. Forward Nicolete Smith led the trio with nine points, shooting 2-for-3 MARGARET BROWN Smith from long range and 3-for-4 from the free throw line. "Just stretching the defense, having them question whether or not they should help on me or not help on my other teammates." Smith said of how her three-point abilities help the offense. "Once they help, my teammates know where to find me, and I knock it down." Forward Krysten Boogaard, the talest player on the team at 6-foot-five, struggled with her shooting, going 0-of-4. But her physical play on the block landed her on the charity stripe frequently. 1 Boogaard where she was 6-for-8. Boogaard also grabbed five rebounds. Chakeitha Weldon didn't see a lot of playing time, but she did make a quick impact. Weldon made her only shot and also recorded a steal. A big advantage to exhibition games is the opportunity to try out different line-ups and give players the chance to prove themselves on the court. Thirteen different players saw LINE CHANGE the court Sunday afternoon, with nine of them getting at least 10 minutes of playing time. THE BIG CHEER The loudest cheer from Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday wasn't for a team, a player or even a specific play. Rather, it came when the latest BCS rankings, with Kansas at No. 4, were displayed on the big screen midway through the second half. Kansas and Pittsburg State fans alike joined together in the roaring applause. BONNIE ON... ...the Jayhawks defense Sunday afternoon; "Defensively we've got to be much, much better.

The Tigers were picked to finish lower than the Gorillas in the MIAA Conference. Once again, this is an exhibition game, and those never matter. That doesn't mean Kansas should take Fort Hays State lightly. The Jayhawks need to focus because the real season starts Friday. Freshman center Cole Aldrich played well in his Kansas debut. At Late Night, he looked timid WHO TO WATCH and out of place. The guards stripped the ball from him every time he touched it. Last week, Aldrich led the team in BENNY M. HANCOCK Aldrich rebounds with six and scored eight points on four of six shooting. More importantly, he looked graceful and controlled. Will anyone have a performance as good as Michael Beaslev's? QUESTION MARK For those who hadn't heard, Beasley, a KSU freshman, hurt Fort Hays State in every way imaginable for Kansas State. Beasley finished with 35 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, six steals and four blocks in only 28 minutes. No one for Kansas will do that tonight, but look for Darrell Arthur to have a big game.

"The guy I was most pleased with tonight was Cole (Aldrich). Cole has been battling against Sasha (Kaun), Darnell (Jackson) and Shady (Arthur) everyday. You see today when he doesn't have to play against them, he looks better. He was active and looked more athletic, and he made a great blocked shot that he drew a foul on. I thought he looked pretty good. There are some good things, but we have a long way to go before we play next Friday." HAWKS REBOUNDING AFTER LESS THAN STELLAR PERFORMANCE "I have a lot of size on a lot of players on the team and just my strength is defense. I love playing defense. I guard Darnell Jackson in practice and it's definitely helped me defensively just guarding and getting banged up down there and getting dunked on by Shady. It's definitely helped me." - Bill Self, coach, on Aldrich's debut. -Rodrick Stewart, senior guard Kansas THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE Russell Robinson, senior guard Yves Goudreau Fort Hays Robinson only shot the ball four times last week against Pittsburg State, but Kansas only needs him to score when he is open. As long as he makes the occasional three-pointer and distributes the ball like he always does, the offense will be fine. ★★★☆ THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE Tyrone Evans, Junior guard Mario Chalmers, junior guard PETER KENNEDY Evans led the Tigers with 32 minutes played in their first game of the season against Kansas State on Saturday. Evans finished 11 points and seven assists. He's also from Aurora, the home-town of Mike Myers's character in Wayne's World. He disappeared in the second half after scoring all 14 of his points in the first against the Gorillas. But that first half was special. Chalmers looked like he wouldn't miss a three-pointer for the rest of his career. ★★☆★★ ★★★☆ D. KEWAN Charles Robinson, junior guard A 6-1 guard from South Carolina, Robinson played 28 minutes and scored eight points against K-State. And no, he's not related to Russell. ★ ★ ★ ★ That whole weight problem thing? Forget about it. Collins looks like he is in great shape. If he stays in this good of shape all season, pencil him in for the All-Bio 12 First Team. Sherron Collins, sophomore guard SOMALIA T. A. O'Sullivan ★★★★ Darrell Arthur, sophomore forward Jake Sims, senior guard Sims is a transfer from Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina. Sims was 3-3 from three-point range in Fort Hays State's first game against Kansas State on Saturday. Sims is the type of player where the defense viles, "Shooter" every time he catches it. Will somebody please look for Arthur in the post early in the game? He was ready to take over once the second half started, but he needs the ball. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★★★★ POLICE OFFICER Ryan Herrman, sophomore forward Sasha Kaun, senior center A. D. HENRY A 6-6 forward from Abilene, Kan., Herrman played in 27 games for the Tigers last season, but started none. Herrman started and played 23 minutes against Kansas State on Saturday, finishing with two points. You hate to say there's pressure on someone during an exhibition game, but Kaun must do a better job on the glass. He had one rebound in 15 minutes against much smaller players last week. ★ ★ ★ ☆ ★★☆★★ Tyrel Reed gets plenty of playing time. Reed was the one of the most exciting players to watch last week. This is an exhibition game and no one cares about the score. People care about entertainment. Reed is young, drives to the basket well and shoots the ball from the outside. He could be special, and he needs to prove that he can be part of the rotation before Brandon Rush comes back. His defense still needs improvement though. He got burned multiple times off the dribble against Pittsburg State. The Fieldhouse will be rocking if Cole Aldrich and Conner Teahan get some playing time too. These early games are all about new faces. Bring on the freshmen. Rodrick Stewart, senior guard Stewart had the most impressive performance last THE SIXTH MAN week. He went to the free-throw line 11 times and made nine shots. He only made 3 of 11 free throws all last season. ★★★★ - T Russell Robinson Mark Dent ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF... Shawn Emerick, junior forward Shawn Emerick, junior forward Emerick is another transfer. He played last season at John Wood Community College. Emerick finished with six points in 20 minutes against Kansas State. 3 adidas ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ THE SIXTH MAN LaTravis Turner, Junior forward Turner played 20 minutes off the bench against K-State and finished with eight points. He's a transfer from Northeastern Community College in Colorado. ★ ★ ★ ★ PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF... Rustin Dodd Kansas gets out-rebounded again by a Division II opponent. Yeah, that's right. The Gorillas from little of Pittsburgh who play in the MIAA out-rebounded a front line that includes two McDonald's All-Americans. Sure, it was a preseason game but the Jayhawks' performance on the glass was embarrassing. Now they are facing an even weaker opponent in Fort Hays State that got out-rebounded by Kansas State by 20. Sasha Kaun, Darrell Arthur and one of Kansas guards need to grab some rebounds to ensure that last Thursday's performance was a fluke. Defense as a whole also needs to improve for the Jayhawks. The Goannas shot 40 percent from the field. Kansas showed it could apply the same pressure as last year on the perimeter, but the enforcement inside was sub-par. FHSU TIP-OFF WHAT'S AT STAKE Just like Pittsburg State last Thursday, Fort Hays State has nothing to lose. Nobody expects Fort Hays State to stay within 40 points. It's an opportunity for the players to see how they stack up against All-American talents like Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers. This game is also a great recruiting tool. Fort Hays head coach Mark Johnson can say, "Come to Fort Hays, and you'll get to play in Allen Fieldhouse." Fort Hays State fell to Kansas State 95-59 on Saturday and surrendered 35 points to KSU freshman Michael Beasley. The Tigers of Fort Hays can hold their heads high if they can stay closer to Kansas than they did to Kansas State. WHO TO WATCH Everybody. Well, actually everybody's jersey. Fort Hays State University announced in September that it was thinking about changing its name to the University of Western Kansas. Edward H. Hammond said recently that a decision on the change would come in late December. This development could end up being more exciting than the game. Stay tuned... QUESTION MARK Could Kansas still defeat Fort Hays State if it played without its top six players? Let's say Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers, Sheron Collins, Sasha Kaun, Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson all came down with food poisoning. Would Kansas still win? Well, you'd probably see a starting line-up of freshman Tyrel Reed, senior Jeremy Case, senior Rodrick Stewart, Junior Matt Kleinmann, and freshman Cole Aldrich. Kansas would probably still have the talent advantage against a Fort Hays State team that was picked to finish seventh in the MIAA. Freshman Conner Teahan would provide some outside shooting off the bench, and Bill Self might be forced to pull the red-shirt of sophomore Brady Morningstar to provide some depth. HEARYE. HEARYE "He's a great player. He's long, athletic, strong, and he can score in every way there is. He can shoot the ball, he can drive it or he can post it. What are you going to take away from him? If you take one part of it away, he can find another way to score, and I think that is what makes him such a great player. There's a variety of ways he can put the ball in the hole." — Fort Hays State coach Mark Johnson on Kansas State Freshman Michael Beasley, after Beasley scored 35 points against his team on Saturday night.

This made the University of Kansas the first school in the nation to issue electronic cards holding season tickets. The University had previously done away with paper tickets for students. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the University wanted to attempt to prevent unauthorized use of the tickets, which includes scalping and said the printing of cards is also much cheaper than tickets. Marchiony said Kansas is preparing for the future and is ahead of the curve on electronic tickets. Kansas offered regular season ticket holders the ability to accept the electronic cards—about 200 did so. However, not everyone is happy with the University's initiative.

Jessie Fetterlinn/KANSAN Bullets damage rear window of Mrs. E's BY MARK DENI mdent@kansan.com Amber Cline and her friends saw the bullet hole in the back window of Mrs. E's on their way to eat on Sunday. They weren't frightened. Cline's friends started taking pictures. "We saw the bullet and thought it was funny," said Cline, an Overland Park freshman. "I just hear people laugh about it." The opinion of Cline was the same throughout Daisy Hill. Students interviewed said most people weren't too worried about the second criminal damage incident at Mrs. E's in the last month. The latest one occurred last weekend. Someone fired gun shots into back window of Mrs. E's, according to police reports. The incident occurred sometime between Saturday night at 9:30 and Sunday morning at 11:30. During Fall Break last month, someone fired shots at two of the back windows of Mrs. E's and the front window of the third floor lobby of Lewis Hall. Both cases were filed as criminal damage to property, a misdemeanor. --- "A lot of people, it's just in the back of their heads," Levsky said.

But like Cline and her friends, he said most students weren't scared. The first time someone shot at Mrs. E's, KU Police talked with students at a voluntary meeting to discuss the incident. Adrian Levsky, a Glastonbury, Conn., freshman, said students asked police a few questions about the incident, but police also asked students questions about what they thought happened and if they knew any information about who did it. Captain Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said police have no suspects yet from either shooting, but the KU Crime Stoppers Board is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the capture of the person or people involved in the shooting. Bailey wouldn't discuss any changes the police were making in the area in hopes of not tipping off the people who vandalized Mrs. E's. jokes. It's the parents who are worried. They freaked when I told them." Students interviewed said they and their friends weren't worried about the incidents because of the location and time the shootings occurred. Both happened at night when no one would be in Mrs. E's. Paul Elser, Atchison freshman, said he thought the shootings were just acts of vandalism. "I could see why people would be nervous," he said, "but I don't think that it's an intentional attempted murder shooting or anything. I don't think anyone has anything to worry about." Instead of thinking about safety, Levsky said most students just wanted to know who shot the windows. Levsky said he didn't know anyone with information about the shooting, but he did know that "a lot" of students had guns for hunting. He thought a student committed the crimes. "No kids here have been saying stuff about who could've done it," Levski said. "It was probably just kids fooling around."

ODD NEWS Obese pig put on diet, sitter charged with cruelty WINONA, Minn. — A pet pig whose weight tripled while it was in the care of a sitter has been placed on a diet — and an animal cruelty charge has been filed against the caretaker. The 5-year-old animal, Alaina Templeton, pot partbelled pig, has lost 10 percent of her 150 pounds and is recovering well from surgery to remove a collar that had become embedded in her overly fat neck. owner Michelle Schmitz said. Alaina made headlines last week after Schmitz complained that the pet sitter had allowed Alaina to go from her normal 50 pounds to 150 pounds in just nine months. Schmitz had left Alaina with the sitter, a co-worker, while she was on medical leave to recover from ankle surgery. Alaina apparently had been foraging for cat food and chicken feed outdoors at the co-worker's farm. Schmitz said that now that her pet is back home, the excess pounds would "melt off" with a healthy diet and exercise. She said she and Alaina's veterinarian considered 50 pounds a more suitable weight for the mixed-breed pig. A misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty has been filed against Mary Beesecker, 52, of Houston, Minn., Winona County Sheriff David Brand said. "I want her to be held responsible for what she did and what she didn't do." Schmitz said. Beeseker did not immediately respond to a call from The Associated Press seeking comment Tuesday, and she has refused requests from The Winona Daily News for an interview.

GRASS LAKE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — This township lived up to its name when authorities reported finding about 1,200 pounds of marijuana in a tractor-trailer. The driver, a 43-year-old man from Tucson, Ariz., was jailed after Sunday's bust at a weigh station along Interstate 94 in Grass Lake Township, about 75 miles west of Detroit. The Eversons were unhurt but the cow, which had fallen off a cliff, had to be euthanized. the cow falling and didn't know what happened until afterward. The year-old cow fell about 200 feet from the cliff and landed on the hood of the couple's minivan, causing heavy damage. Police find marijuana stash in sports drink semitrailer LA CROSSE, Wis. — Gary Kidd had a pretty good idea that what his 3-year-old grandson had found was no rock, but the tooth of a woolly mammoth. That's because he had found one himself nine years ago. The trucker had been stopped for what state police called an equipment violation. An inspection turned up 48 bales of marijuana hidden among a shipment of sports drinks. Everson, 49, said he didn't see Wisconsin child finds woolly mammoth tooth He told his grandson it looked like the tooth of the extinct woolly mammoth. "Grandpa, what's that?" Kaleb asked. Next step was the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, which confirmed that it was, indeed, the tooth of a mammoth. Kaleb Kidd was chasing squirrels Monday at a family friend's property near La Crosse when he spotted what looked like an unusual rock. Connie Arzigian, the center's lab director, said it could be 10,000 to 30,000 years old. It weighs 2 pounds and measures 6 inches long and 3 inches wide. The latest find is in better shape than the one Gary Kidd brought up from the bottom of the Mississippi River while clamming in 1998. That tooth was water-soaked and had fallen apart, he was told when he took it to the center. Gary Kidd, 46, said it would be up to Kaleb's father, Travis, to decide what to do with the tooth. For now it is on display at Satori Arts Gallery, much to Kaleb's dismay. The center already has a woolly mammoth tooth in its collection, but it's always fun to see someone discover another one, Arzigian said "It's wonderful to get an idea of what was here in the past," she said. "When we dropped it down at the art gallery, he was crying. He didn't want to let it go," his grandad said. "At first he thought it was just a rock.

A rock plucked out of his sifters turned out to be a 4.38-carat, tea-colored diamond. Johnson, 36, made the dig Saturday at the park and left his equipment in a locker. When he came back Monday morning, he made the discovery. Crater of Diamonds State Park, which opened in 1972, is the world's only diamond-producing site open to the public, and visitors can keep the gems they unearth. The largest diamond found at the park was the 16.37-carat Amarillo Starlight, a white diamond produced in 1975. Johnson's find is the second-largest diamond uncovered at the park this year. In June, a Louisiana man found a 4.8-carat stone. Associated Press contact us Tell us your news Contact Erick R.

The Athletics Department announced that faculty and staff would be issued new access cards that would hold their basketball season tickets. The University had previously done away with paper tickets for students. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the University wanted to attempt to prevent unauthorized use of the tickets, which includes scalping. The printing of cards is also much cheaper than tickets. "This is the direction that tickets are going." Marchiony said. "It may not be happening now, but more and more tickets are going to be like this. We are preparing for the future. We are ahead of the curve." Indeed, Kansas is the first school in the nation to issue electronic cards holding season tickets, according to Marchiony. Kansas offered regular season ticket holders the option to accept the electronic cards — about 200 did so. JAYHAWKS SEC 14 ROW 2 SEAT 4 $36.00 TAX INCL.

Linda Lee, associate professor of journalism, and season ticket holder, said the department might be discouraging faculty and staff from buying tickets. "I thought, "What a hassle!" Lee said. "I didn't initially understand the reason behind it, but I knew it had to be about money" Marchiony said that because faculty and staff were given a 20 percent discount on tickets and were not required to donate to the Williams Fund to gain points for premier seats, the University wanted to make sure "I remember when airlines stopped giving hard tickets out," Marchiony said of the resistance to change. "A lot of people had an issue with that, but eventually the world moves on and the world moves forward." Lee said she understood the scalping issue and the University's need to do something about it, but didn't like the newfound difficulty she would face when attempting to give tickets to family members. Faculty and staff can lend their cards to others, or they can go to Allen Fieldhouse and transfer tickets to another access card. For $1.50. tickets can also be trans- ferred to others online and printed as an e-mail that can be used as a paper ticket. Max Utsler, associate professor of journalism, and teacher of the sports media and society class, has been a season ticket holder for 25 years and enjoyed putting the paper tickets on top of his refrigerator. Mr. Utsler has already encountered a problem with the new system. Mr. Utsler's wife used the couple's two cards to attend Thursday's season-opening game against Pittsburg State with a friend. Mrs. Utsler then traveled to see fam- traveled to see family in Illinois and forgot to take the cards out of her purse. Mr. Utsler was forced to make a trip down to Allen Fieldhouse early Tuesday morning to get paper tickets as a replacement for Tuesday's game. Still, Mr. Utsler said he had no problems with the Athletics Department for the decision. "Tickets are such a valuable commodity," Mr. Utser said. "There is so much money to be made on them. I understand the rationale. I don't begrudge the Athletic Department for trying to squeeze out a couple extra dollars." Mr. Utlsr said faculty and staff that had a problem with the decision needed to understand that the Athletics Department was a business. "This is the entertainment business," Mr. Utlser said. "They have to run it that way. When I write the check for my season tickets, I make it out to the KU Athletic Corporation." - Edited by Luke Morris Students create 'Andy Chipotlegs' for national contest BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com The campus' newest celebrity wasn't in Allen Fieldhouse last night, or ranked fourth in the BCS standings. University of Kansas' Andy Chipotlegs is the delicious new star of a national advertising contest for Chipotle. Andy, the star of "Burrito Friends Forever," was created by eight KU students. The advertisement is among 12 finalists in the running to win Chipotle's national contest, "30 Seconds of Fame." The winner will receive $30,000, half of which would go to the School of Journalism, and the other half to the students. The winning ad will be announced Thursday, Nov. 15. Annemarie Deslairleurs, Carlie Jacobsen, Liz Weisman, Matt Doubrava, Nathan Markley, Patrick Crough, Sara Turnbull and Stacy Dvorak are enrolled in a strategic campaigns class in the school. The group said Chipotle invite about 120 universities and colleges to participate in the contest. "Burrito Friends Forever" came from weeks of research on campus, and joined with local Chipotle restaurants to create the perfect ad for Chipotle's targeted audience, students between the ages of 18 and 24. The class asked students what they associated with Chipotle and tried to create a humorous video students would enjoy. "There was constant discussion everyday," Jacobsen, Tulsa senior, said. "It was fun to throw out ideas because we are in the target demographic." The video features Andy Chipotlegs and his "stalker" on campus. The group tried to incorporate Chipotle's new message, "Food With Integrity," which promotes healthy, organic food, and keep the ad entertaining for viewers. "He's hormone free, steroid free; he sleeps without his foil." Doubra, Lawrence sophomore and burrito stalker, says in the ad. The class' teacher, Mugur Gena, an professor of strategic communications, said he believed the combination of a clear message and humor was the strongest part of the KU video compared with the other 11. He said many of the other videos didn't address the "Food With Integrity" message and stay focused on student views. Markley, Wellington senior, who plays Andy in the video, said doing an ad dressed as a giant burrito was a fun experience. At one point in the ad, admiring young women chase Andy across campus. Markley said the scene was difficult because he couldn't see through the "burrito" when he ran. He said that even though most people didn't realize it was him in the giant costume, he was still excited about the national exposure. "I'm the legs." Markley said. "I signed talent release forms, and now Chipotle owns the rights to my legs." The group said students should realize that watching the video and spreading the message would ultimately determine how the ad would fair in the contest. Among the 12 finalists are Big 12 rivals, the University of Nebraska and the University of Texas. "The students need to get the message out there and realize it's a proud thing for KU." Geana said. "It's a great achievement. The University of Missouri isn't even a finalist." The group said students should keep their eyes open for Andy on campus today. It also encouraged students to view the video at http://youtube.com/watch?v=_cKQU1UIZOM, and to add Andy as a friend on Facebook.com. other final contestants -Academy of Art — with 3 videos videos -Northern Illinois University — with 2 videos -Chico State — with 2 videos -University of Colorado -University of Nebraska-Lincoln -University of Texas-Austin -Chapman University The group said that it would defini- cely celebrate if its ad won, and that Andy might even be spotted in the Hawks' "Boom Boom Room," 1340 Ohio St. Edited by Chris Beattie THIS WEEK ON CAMPUS Alternative Spring Breaks Informational Meeting Thursday, November 8th at 7pm In the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union PIZZA WILL BE PROVIDED!!

Developers of the Oread Inn want to buy and demolish the ECM building, 1204 Oread Ave. Rome and Zhang live in the apartments in the building. The same company that plans to tear down the Crossing and build a luxury hotel in its place has set it sights on the building that houses the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 12th Street and Oread Avenue. The ECM board met last night and discussed the possibility of allowing the demolition of the existing building. They brainstormed alternative methods to get the repairs accomplished without having to give up the building. Some of the ideas included sharing the space with another group or renting the building out for events such as weddings and conferences. However some of the major repairs would have to be made before the ECM could be rented out. Rev. Thad Holcombe, campus pastor at the ECM, said he had heard rumors from students that the ECM was in debt. He said that the rumors were not true, however the building did need some repairs. A proposal to tear down the ECM building was given to the board in August. The new building would reduce the area available to the ministry from 18,000 square feet to about 7,000 square feet. The new building would be part of the Oread Circle development. The current building still has its original light fixtures, table and chairs. Holcombe said he had seen several art students come to draw the unique spiral staircase that leads to the top floor. The ECM owns the building, so they have the final say in whether or not to sell. Some of the board members said that saying yes might help the ECM on the surface, but it could also hurt the ECM while its tenants and programs were displaced during the demolition and construction. The board also mentioned that the building itself was a sacred space to many students. Every Thursday, students gather at the ECM for Veggie Lunch Seven students live in the basement of the building. Dini Richards, Salina gradu. ate and building committee chair, said the needed repairs added up to $736,000. Some of the most pertinent repairs include upgrades to the heating and cooling system, remodeling the kitchen and making the building more compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The University architect came to the building and said it was structurally sound. "The ideal is to keep the building and try to keep doing what we are doing," Richards said. "If we can't then we will try to come as close to possible as that." Bob Thompson, 63-year-old Spring Hill resident, volunteers his time to do maintenance for the ECM. "There's got to be a better way than tearing down and starting over," Thompson said. The contractor has given the ECM until the end of this year to make a decision. Edited by Luke Morris HOLLYWOOD Writers strike halts sitcoms, networks to use re-runs LOS ANGELES — Production of the hit show "Desperate Housewives" and at least six sitcoms filmed before live audiences will be halted as a result of the writers strike — developments that raised the stakes Tuesday in the walkout targeting movie studios and TV networks. Producer Alexandra Cunningham said "Desperate Housewives" will stop production on Wednesday after running out of scripts. Shows that have already been completed won't last until Christmas, she said. "It's unfortunate. We want to get back to work," Cunningham said. Sitcoms that will stop the cameras include "Back to You," starring Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton, which will not return from a planned hiatus, said Chris Alexander, a spokesman for 20th Century Fox Television. Star Julia Louis-Dreyfus said production also stopped on her CBS show, "The New Adventures of Old Christmas." In addition, "Til Death," which airs on Fox, and "Rules of Engagement," "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory," all on CBS, will also end filming, according to people familiar with production of the shows who were not authorized to be quoted and requested anonymity. Network officials referred calls to the individual companies producing each show. It was not immediately clear how many of the programs might already be finished. The sitcoms are typically written the same week they are filmed, with jokes being sharpened by writers even on the day of production. The disclosures came during the second day of the strike by the Writers Guild of America against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATED PRESS A Senate committee prepared to advance Michael Mukasey's nomination to be the nation's 81st attorney general after two key Democrats pledged to support him because he promised to enforce a law against controlled drowning if Congress passed one. President George W. Bush nominated Mukasey for the position in September. Nomination reaches Senate WASHINGTON BY LAURIE KELLMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS The retired federal judge was expected to win confirmation easily by the end of next week, but not without significant floor discussion inspired by his refusal to say that waterboarding amounts to illegal torture. WASHINGTON — Michael Mukasey's nomination as the nation's next attorney general was sent to the full Senate on Tuesday as a vehicle for the broader, and more bitter, debate over the legality of the Bush administration's interrogation techniques for terrorism suspects. Within hours of the Judiciary Committee's 11-8 endorsement of the nomination Tuesday. Mukasey's name was invoked in the same sentence as "torture" in a campaign appeal on behalf of Democrats. read a letter sent out by Friends for Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader who had announced earlier in the day he would vote against confirmation. "We appreciate the vote of senators on the Judiciary Committee to forward the nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey to the full Senate," White House press secretary Dana Perino said. "Judge Mukasey has clearly demonstrated that he will be an exceptional attorney general at this critical time." Mukasey's comments on torture ranked senators of both parties, but the nominee averted a rebellion by promising to enforce any law Congress passes outlawing the practice — or quit the post if President Bush ignores his legal advice. Officials in both parties predicted Tuesday that Mukasey would win more than the 60 votes required to head off a fillbuster. But before any more votes are cast on the matter, a full-blown floor debate was expected about waterboarding, a brutal interrogation method that creates the sensation of drowning and which is banned by domestic law and international treaties. That was good enough for all nine Republicans and two Democrats on the 19-member Senate Judiciary Committee who voted to send the nomination to the full Senate for confirmation. Those policies don't govern the CIA's use of the practice, however, and the Bush administration has sidestepped questions about whether it has allowed the agency's employees to use it against terror detainees. DANA PERINO White House press secretary "Judge Mukasey has clearly demonstrated that he will be an exceptional attorney general at this critical time." At Senate confirmation hearings last month, Mukasey frustrated senators of both parties by refusing to say whether he considers waterboarding a form of torture, as claimed by a coalition of military officials, doctors and humans rights groups. "Unsaid, of course, is the fact that any such prohibition would have to be enacted over the veto of this president," said Judicary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont. But 'some on the panel called Mukasev's anpeal disingenuous. Mukasey's assurances won enough support to survive a vote by the committee that looked uncertain only a few days earlier. Ranking Republican Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania said the burden for outlawing the practice rests with Congress anyway. 4 J one of eight Democrats who voted against the nomination. A d d e d Sen. Edward Kennedy, D- Mass.: "He said that he opposes torture and would tell the president in no uncertain terms that any technique he concluded amounted to torture is illegal," said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. "I don't believe that he would bow to any kind of pressure even from the president, if he thought that there were a problem." "We are supposed to find comfort in the representations by a nominee If lawmakers were unified on the unsavouriness of waterboarding, Democrats were divided on whether it disqualified Mukasey. But Republicans argued that Mukasey, a retired federal judge and one-time journalist, was qualified for the job and that he had answered the waterboarding question as fully as possible given that he has not been privy to classified interrogation techniques. 1 to be the highest law enforcement officer in the country that he will in fact enforce the laws that we pass in the future? Can our standards really have sunk so low? Like all four of the Senate's Democratic presidential hopefuls and eight Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, Reid declared that the waterboarding issue disqualified Mukasey. He did not rule out a Democratic-driven filibuster, but officials said they knew of no specific plans to launch one. "There may be people disappointed in Mukasey being reported out of the committee," Reid said. "That's why there will be a really heavy vote against him here on the floor." At least two Democrats won't be among them. Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Dianne Feinstein of California voted with Judiciary Committee Republicans to send Mukasey's nomination to the floor. --- 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2007 NEWS 》INTERNATIONAL 5A Pakistan expects election delay Musharraf imposes emergency rule BY STEPHEN GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan's deposed, chief justice called on lawyers Tuesday to revolt against President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's imposition of emergency rule and a crackdown on the opposition that has left thousands under arrest. The government considered a delay in parliamentary elections despite Western demands they be on schedule in January to bring democracy to a nuclear-armed country dogged by political uncertainty and rising Islamic militancy. Fragile security in the northwest cited by officials as a reason for the suspension of the constitution --- deteriorated further as pro-Taliban militants seized a town from outnumbered security forces. "Chaudhry! Chaudhry!" they chanted. "Musharraf is a criminal! We will not accept uniforms or bullets!" While Musharraf says emergency powers are needed so the government can better fight Islamic extremists, his crackdown has been aimed at lawyers and liberal political activists opposing his rule. The Supreme Court, in particular, had chipped away at his powers this year. Musharraf said emergency powers are needed so the government can better right Islamic extremists. His crackdown has been aimed at political activists opposing his rule. and give the message that this is the time to sacrifice." Chaudhry said over loudspeakers. "Don't be afraid. God will help us and the day will come when you'll see the constitution supreme and no dictatorship for a long time." Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry, a figurehead for the resistance, has been under house arrest since Saturday night. But he managed to address hundreds of lawyers using a cell phone from his Islamabad residence, which he said was surrounded by security forces Attorney gathered at the Islamabad Bar Association cheered. Moments later, mobile phone service cut off in Islamabad, but Chaudhry's message had already been recorded as an MP3 file. It spread swiftly, and local TV stations aired it via satellite. "Go to every corner of Pakistan Cell phone service resumed hours later. After Chaudhry spoke, hundreds of police in the central city of Multan blocked about 1,000 lawyers from leaving a district court complex to stage a street rally in defiance of a ban on protests. Both sides pelted each other with stones and officers swung clubs to scatter the crowd. At least three lawyers and three officers were injured, some bleeding from the head. Violence also was reported at a rally by lawyers in the eastern city of Guiranwala. The clashes marked the second straight day of unrest since emergency rule was declared Saturday by Musharraf, who took power in a 1999 coup. He has ousted independent-minded judges, put a stranglehold on the media and granted sweeping powers to authorities to crush dissent. Many of those detained have been lawyers, who have been in the forefront of protests against the military ruler, but opposition party supporters and human rights activists also are under arrest. The government says about 2,500 were detained; the opposition says 3,500. The United States and other Western nations have urged Musharraf to stick to the election timetable, but so far no date has been set. They also want the president to fulfill his promise to give up his second post as army chief. "President Musharraf has made certain commitments with respect to taking off the uniform and to holding elections as scheduled in January. We have, through a number of different means, conveyed to him that we expect him to abide by those commitments," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said. A Pakistani Cabinet minister said the government discussed delaying the election by no more than three months, but added that no decision was made. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the issue to the media. Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who returned to Pakistan last month to lead her party in the parliamentary elections following eight years in self-imposed exile, claimed the government had already decided to delay the ballot by one to two years. "They have not announced it as such, (but) I know this from the inside," she told AP Television News, but provided no details of the source of her information. INTERNATIONAL Bomb explodes near Afghan factory ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan — A bomb attack struck a group of lawmakers Tuesday as they were being greeted by children on a visit to a sugar factory in Afghanistan's normally peaceful north. At least 28 people were killed, including five parliament members as well as children. U. S.-backed President Hamid Karzai blamed the "the enemies of peace and security," a euphemism often used for the militant Taliban. But such a spectacular attack could also have been the work of al-Qaida. The Taliban denied involvement. Video obtained by AP Television News of the scene just before the blast shows schoolchildren, tribal elders and government officials lining the streets to greet 18 lawmakers as they were about to enter the sugar factory in Baghlan, a town about 95 miles north of the capital, Kabul. Officials gave conflicting reports whether the attack was a suicide bomber or a planted bomb. If it is determined to be a suicide bomber, that would point strongly to al-Qaida or Taliban involvement. No one claimed responsibility for the attack. The video also shows an Afghan man holding the head of what he claimed was the suicide attacker, shouting "Look at this (expletive!) This is the guy who destroyed everything! This is the guy who killed us!" Some of the children shook hands with the guests and one teenager handed red and pink roses to lawmaker Saved Mustafa Kazimi Many victims were taken to the hospital, their legs and faces stained with blood. The video shows a woman leaning over a child lying motionless in a hospital bed. A boy, his legs bandaged, cried on a gurney that looked to have been left in a hallway. Men placed another body next to four others already laid out under a tree. Elsewhere, a body with a severed arm was lying amid rubble. Puddles of blood soaked the packed dirt around the scene of the bombing. ASSOCIATED PRESS INTERNATIONAL ALQADI An Iraqi police officer stands guard at a security checkpoint in Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday. Death tolls for Americans and Iraqis have fallen dramatically in recent months, as has the number of bombings, shootings and other violence. Deaths decline, toll tops record "The children were standing on both sides of the street, and were shaking the hands of the officials, then suddenly the explosion happened," said Mohammad Yousuf Faye, a doctor at Baghlan's main hospital. a former Afghan commerce minister and a powerful member of the opposition party National Front. Kazimi was killed, BY STEVEN R. HURST ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHADD — The U.S. military announced six new deaths Tuesday, making 2007 the bloodiest year for American troops in Iraq despite a recent decline in casualties and a sharp drop in roadside bombings that Washington links to Iran. With nearly two months left in the year, the annual toll is now 853 — three more than the previous worst of 850 in 2004. But the grim milestone comes as the Pentagon points toward other encouraging signs as well — growing security in Baghdad and other former militant strongholds that could help consolidate the gains against extremists. A senior Navy officer, meanwhile, announced the planned release of nine Iranian prisoners and was at pains to say that a major cache of Iranian-made weapons and bombs displayed for reporters Tuesday After the explosion, the video shows dead and wounded schoolchildren on the ground. The video does not show the explosion. Two men carried the bloody body of a boy by his limbs and placed it on the hard-packed dirt. "It's our best judgment that these particular EFPs ... in recent large cache finds do not appear to have arrived here in Iraq after those pledges were made," Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, director of the Multi-National Force-Iraq's communications division, told reporters Tuesday. Among the weapons Washington has accused Iran of supplying to Iraqi Shiite militia fighters are EFPs, or explosively formed projectiles. They fire a slug of molten metal capable of penetrating even the most heavily armored military vehicles, and thus are more deadly than other roadside bombs. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said last week that Iran had made such assurances to the Iraqi government. He did not reveal when the pledge was issued. The No. 2 U.S. commander in Iraq, Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, last week that there had been a sharp decline in the number of EFPs found in A decline in Iranian weapons deliveries could be one of several factors for the decrease in both Iraqi and American deaths over the past two months. appeared to have been shipped into Iraq before Tehran made a vow to stop the flow of armaments.

At the time, he and Gates both said it was too early to tell whether the trend would hold, and whether it could be attributed to action by Iranian authorities. Iran publicly denies that it has sent Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani and Iranian Ambassador Hassan Kazemi Qomi inaugurated the building in Irbil and said both would have full diplomatic status. weapons to Shiite militias in Iraq. The positive moves toward Iran on Tuesday coincided with the opening of two Iranian consulates, the facility in Irbil that was shut by American forces after the raid, and a second in Sulaimaniyah, the largest city in the Kurdish zone. The Iranian ambassador charged the United States ran roughshod over Iraqi sovereignty in conducting the raid in January. Two of the Iranians who will be freed "in the coming days" were among five captured in January in a U.S. raid on an Iranian government facility in Irbil, the capital of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region in the north of the country. "This is a very important step to enhance relations and facilitate the commerce between the two sides," Barzani told reporters. Smith told reporters the identities of the nine Iranians would be released later. He said the decision to release the nine was made after they were determined not to be a threat to U.S. forces. "The American forces breached Iraqi sovereignty by detaining the five Iranian diplomats at this same office in Irbil," Qomi said. The Americans said the five were members of Iran's elite Quds Force, an arm of the Revolutionary Guards. Iran said the five were diplomats working in a facility that was undergoing preparations to be a consular office. "Iran has strong ties with Iraqi society, and opening these consulates will strengthen these ties. It will also strengthen commerce and travel between the two sides." Qomi said.

WWW.KANSAN.COM WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2007 PAGE 7A NON-LINEAR MUSING Who can we blame for not voting now? Questionable intercollegiate study cites university for students' lack of civics knowledge, political illiteracy PATRICK DE OLIVEIRA We don't know jack about civics and it's all our universities' fault. Apparently that's what a recent study by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute concluded. The study found that the "average" college senior got a score of 54.2 percent in a civic literacy test. Oh my. First, there is the whole issue of only utilizing a 60-question, multiple-choice test to evaluate a person's knowledge of something. It's absurd to think that you can really understand someone's grasp of a subject through a test, especially one But is there truly something to be concerned about in this study? that doesn't give space for developing and explaining one's reasoning. Also, knowing dates and names is somewhat important, but they are secondary to understanding a concept. Second, the ISI is a conservative organization, and its test is clearly biased toward that ideology. At least 10 questions are about economics and some of these are phrased in such a way to support free-market capitalism. Whether this truly has to do with civics is up for grabs, but one can't help but wonder. But, lets ignore the ISI's faulty method. Campususes are hot spots for activism and political activity, but this seems to be conducted by a vocal minority; it is apparent that a large number of college students are uninterested in civic processes and institutions. It is, however, absurd to blame universities for this. As a matter of fact, universities instigate interest in the civic process. Students are exposed to new ideas—ideas often called subversive by organizations like the ISI—and different people, and with that political, social and culture awareness increases. Whether this is a lasting process or not is open to interpretation. This happens precisely because in a good university class, the focus shifts from the memorization of names and dates to the nature of ideas and their consequences. When a student studies how a certain structure works, or reasons why it is unjust, it sparks an interest in him or her. Hopefully this interest will evolve into further involvement and questioning so that in the future we can construct a better society. The reason a large number of students aren't involved in the civic process has less to do with universities and more to do with upbringing. There needs to be a greater emphasis on civic participation as a child grows up. This includes a greater emphasis on political participation when a child is in elementary, middle and high school. It also includes getting young people involved in politics. How can this be done? Give their voice power. Why not lower the voting age to 16? Several countries have done this, and a teenager that age already has some sort of political conscience—not to mention that many already are "productive" members of society. Also, how about making Election Day a national holiday? Isn't there a slight possibility this would increase voter turnout? Actually, the lack of a national holiday just shows that our society values capitalism more than democratic participation. It's depressing. So the problem isn't that young people don't know enough about civics. Yes, that could also be improved. The main issue is that our society doesn't trust them to be part of the political process. Once that trust is given, interest and participation will follow together with a healthier democracy.

"PHYSICS MAJOR," YOU SAID... Lawsuit necessary in stopping hate Court awarded settlement is a beginning in the struggle against the many questionable messages of Westboro Baptist MAX RINKEI CASSIE GENTRY Finally, the Phelps family got a little of what was coming to it. Many people, including myself, cheered happily when the news broke that the law had finally been able to come down on Fred Phelps' church in Topeka. Last Wednesday, a Maryland judge ordered the church to pay, "$8 million in punitive damages and $2.9 million in compensatory damages," according to the Washington Post. The family of Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder filed the lawsuit after the Westboro Church protested Snyder's funeral with signs bearing distasteful slogans such as, "God Hates You" and, "Thank God for Dead Soliders." The Snyder family filed claims on the grounds of, "invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress." Though some, including the Phelpses, claim that the Westboro Baptist Church has been disrespectful, but has not legally done anything wrong. Certainly, there is little else more disrespectful and rude than showing up at a funeral bearing hateful signs. I am unable to understand how the Westboro Baptist Church feels this type of behavior is God's will. I guess I missed the part of the Bible that says you should actively hate large sects of the population or use slanderous terms to refer to others who don't. Probably because that part doesn't exist. The God that I believe in is caring and forgiving. I'm fairly sure he doesn't champion vicious slandering, and I know He doesn't appreciate the Phelps family telling everyone who He hates and who He doesn't. They're saying that the lawsuit has helped them get their "message" out. Well ful for this verdict. On one of their Web sites, www.god-hatesamerica.com, the front page proclaims, "Thank God for the $10 million! [We] prayed for it to be $109 million!" the Westboro Baptist Church claims they are extremely thank- They're saying that the lawsuit has helped them get their "message" out. Well, it's certainly gotten them face time in the media, but I'm still unclear as to what their message is. To make my point, here's a riddle for you: what do Ronald Reagan, Jon Stewart and Mr. Rogers have in common? Answer: They've all been targets of the Westboro Baptist Church. Even after reading countless articles on their protests and perusing their Web sites declaring their "message," I still have no clear idea what it is. The only common thread that I can find is that they believe God hates anything that, well, isn't the Westboro Baptist Church. Coretta Scott King? In hell for having, "feces-eating fag friends." Pope John Paul I? The church proclaims him, "the great pedophile pope." I can't tell what's at work here: brainwashing, insanity or mere attention-grabbing. Maybe a combination of all three. Unfortunately, it seems this verdict will not stop their funeral protests. According to their Web site, "as long as the Lord our God gives us breath, and He continues to kill your G.I. Joe-wannabe brat kids, we will still preach at funerals." Can we say unstable? Crazy? Another down side: there is a good chance the verdict will be overturned when the church appeals. The important thing is that someone has managed to bring them down. Even if it can't register as a loss in the Phelps' senseless brains as a loss, the sane world has finally scored a win against the Westboro Baptist Church.

The government raised diesel and gasoline prices by about 10 percent last week to curb demand at a time when refiners say they losing money because of controls that block them from passing on record-high crude costs to consumers. Some refiners responded by suspending production, leading to rationing. Executives of China National Petroleum Corp. and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., agreed to expand refining and "ensure domestic supplies" after a meeting Monday with government officials, said a statement by China's main planning agency, the National Development and Reform Commission. It didn't indicate how long the changes might take to affect supplies at the pump. The shortages have forced truck and bus drivers to wait for hours at filling stations to buy fuel. One trucking company said its delivery times have doubled as a result. But economists say the shortages are unlikely to have an impact on China's overall economy unless they last for several months. The government gave no indication Tuesday whether it would compensate CNPC and Sinpec for losses from the additional refining. CNPC and Sinopec, both state-owned, are expected to act like profit-making companies but Beijing has forced them to shield consumers from rising world oil costs by holding down retail prices. That has pinched their earnings, even though the two companies have seen revenues soar due to China's economic boom and an increase in private car ownership. On Monday, CNPC's publicly traded unit, PetroChina Ltd., briefly became the world's first 1 trillion company by market capitalization when its shares debuted on the Shanghai stock exchange and nearly tripled in value before falling slightly on Tuesday, PetroChina shares already were traded in New York and Hong Kong. China suffered a less serious fuel shortage last year, also blamed on lack of refining capacity. Beijing prodded both major oil suppliers to increase supplies and made up some of their losses at the end of the year with a tax rebate. Last week's price hike was China's first in 18 months. It also was a reversal from a government order in September that froze prices for gasoline, cooking oil and other basic goods in an attempt to rein in a surge in inflation. Regulators had resisted earlier appeals by oil companies to raise prices, saying they needed to protect China's poor, who have seen food costs rise sharply this year. Even after the increase, China's prices are among the lowest of any major country at about $3.20 per gallon for gasoline and $2.69 per gallon for diesel.

Thousands of African immigrants arrive by boat every year trying to find a better way of life in Europe. The dangerous trip often takes more than a week, and many die in the attempt. Migrant voyage to Spain deadly BY DANIEL WOOLLS ASSOCIATED PRESS When the vessel was found, there were 100 people aboard and two dead bodies, the official said under department rules barring her name from being published. It was one of the highest death tolls this year among Africans trying to escape poverty and reach Europe's southern gateway. The boat, which set out from Senegal with as many as 150 people and apparently traveled hundreds of miles, was found Tuesday by a Mauritanian patrol boat, a Spanish Civil Guard official said. In Mauritania, officials agreed that there were 98 survivors, but otherwise offered slightly different numbers. Yahfdhou Ould Amar, chief of police for the northern port city of Nouadhibou, said 45 people died in the voyage — presumably from hunger, cold and thirst. The boat apparently set sail from southern Senegal on Oct. 16 with 143 people aboard and its motor failed last week off Morocco's coast, much further to the north. It was unclear if the boat then turned around or just drifted southward before being intercepted Tuesday, Amar said. MADRID, Spain — Dozens of migrants trying to reach Europe spent three weeks at sea off West Africa's coast and threw nearly 50 bodies overboard after their vessel lost power and supplies dwindled, officials said Tuesday. The survivors were exhausted, and many appeared to be in shock, said Mohamed Ould Hamada, head of the Mauritanian branch of the Red Cross in Nouadhibou. He said the U.N. and other international groups had dispatched teams to help the survivors. Most of the group were Senegalese, along with some from Mali, Guinea-Bissau and Gambia, Hamada said. They told relief workers that the captain of the boat had perished. Hundreds of migrants die each year while attempting to reach Spain by sailing in simple wooden fishing boats from West Africa to Spain's Canary Islands, just off Morocco's coast. The trip often takes more than a week. In July, some 50 migrants died off the coast of Africa when their boat capsized just as a Spanish patrol vessel tried to come to its aid. In December, 80 others died when their boat sank off Senegal's coast. Spain says increased air and sea surveillance of Africa's coast has led to a sharp drop in the number of people attempting the journey. While 24,000 people were caught trying to sail to Spain last year, as of late August, the figure was down to 8,000, according to the Interior Ministry.

Astronomers find new planet BY ALICIA CHANG ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — A new planet was discovered orbiting a sun-like star 41 light years away, making it the first known planetary quintet outside our solar system, astronomers said Tuesday. The newfound planet joins four others circling the nearby star 55 Cancri in the constellation Cancer. Although it resides in the star's so-called Ranked fourth from 55 Cancri, the latest planet is about 45 times the mass of earth and has an orbit of 260 days. It was detected after nearly "It's a system that appears to be packed with planets," said co-discoverer Debra Fischer, an astronomer at San Francisco State University. Still, scientists have not ruled out finding an Earth-like planet within the system as technology improves. habitable zone, a place where liquid water and mild temperatures should exist, it is more like Saturn than Earth and therefore not likely to support life. "We can now say there are stars like the sun that have many worlds around them." JONATHAN LUNINE Planetary scientist tem were discovered between 1996 and 2004. The innermost planet is believed to resemble Neptune, while the most distant is thought to be lupiter-like. Scientists have detected about 250 exoplanets, or planets orbiting a star other than the sun. The 55 Cancri star holds the record for number of confirmed planets. Only one other star is known to have four planets, while several others have three or less. "We can now say there are stars like the sun that have many worlds around them," said planetary scientist Jonathan Lunine of the University of Arizona, Tucson, who had no role in the discovery. The research will appear in a future issue of the Astrophysical Journal. It was funded by NASA, the National Science Foundation and the University of California. The latest discovery shows that our solar system is not unique, scientists said. "When you look up into the night sky and see the twinkling lights of stars, you can imagine with certainty that they have their own complement of planets," said astronomer Geoff Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, who was part of the research. Social site tips advertisers FACEBOOK BY ANICK JESDANUN ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The online hangout Facebook said Tuesday it planned to help companies target their advertisements on the site based on what its users and their friends bought and did on the Internet. As Web companies look to boost advertising revenue by offering to target ads to their users' hobbies, interests and behavior, Facebook's move could change the tone of the site and revive privacy complaints it faced last year. Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, who founded the company three years ago, said marketers must respond to the changing nature of communication, driven in part by social-networking sites like his. Facebook will now allow companies to build profile pages similar to the ones millions of users around the world now maintain. Companies also can now embed coding that Facebook calls Beacon on outside sites such as eBay Inc, "Pushing your message out to people is no longer good enough," Zuckerberg told about 200 advertising-industry executives. "You have to get your message out to the conversations." enabling a Facebook user who lists an item for auction, for example, to generate alert messages for their Facebook friends, who may then check out the item next time they log on. Users can now send alerts to friends about their reviews of restaurants, what band they enjoyed and what books or DVDs they bought online. And advertisers can have their pitches appear next to those alert the best way to profit from the trove of personal data their users put on profile pages. "Nothing influences a person more than a recommendation from a trusted friend." On Monday, MySpace announced an expansion of its targeting program to include more MARK ZUCKERBERG Chief Executive "People influence people," Zuckerberg said. "Nothing influences a person more than a recommendation from a trusted friend." The new program also enables advertisers to fine-tune their audiences — having their pitches appear only to women under 30 who attended New York University and work at Goldman Sachs, for instance. Self-service tools let advertisers immediately see how many users they will reach as they change their criteria. Social-networking sites like Facebook and News Corp's MySpace have been trying to find categories and more advertisers. Privacy advocates say the key to user acceptance will be how Facebook notifies it, users and what controls it offers them. Zuckerberg offered few details in the speech, but said no personally identifiable information would be shared with advertisers. Facebook has long prided itself on privacy, but the site relaxed eligibility requirements and started letting nonusers search for members' personal profile pages at Facebook and through search engines like Google. A feature allowing users to more easily track changes their friends made backfired when many users denounced it as stalking and threatened protests and boycotts. Facebook had to quickly apologize and let users turn off the feature. NATIONAL Men use cookies after drug burn ASSOCIATED PRESS Madison County prosecutors on Monday charged Rosario James, 23, and Jordan Sallis, 20, each with two counts of aggravated kidnaping and one count of robbery and aggravated battery. EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. — Two students in at Southern Illinois University in this St. Louis suburb kidnapped, paddled and burned a young man with freshly baked cookies after a drug deal went bad, prosecutors said. Both were jailed Tuesday on $150,000 apiece. Sheriff's Capt. Brad Wells said that Friday night, three men went to James' house to buy marijuana, but two of them grabbed the drugs and fled, leaving the third behind. The suspects held that man, who is in his late teens, and told him he needed to find $400 for the drugs, Wells said. The suspect bets the man with a wooden paddle, burned his neck and shoulders with cookies immediately after taking them from the oven, shaved off some of his hair and poured urine over him from a soda bottle. Wells said. "It was just sheer torture," Wells said. Hours later, Wells said, the victim managed to escape and call police after the suspects drove him The victim sustained severe bruising but was not hospitalized. to a house in trying to get money for the drugs. Both suspects were arrested Saturday morning. There was no evidence that James or Sallis had been using drugs before or during the alleged torture, Wells said Tuesday. "Basically they ripped them off of their drugs, and they took exception to that." Wells said. There was no record that James or Sallis had obtained an attorney as of Tuesday, a Madison County court clerk said. 10C OFF EVERY GALLON OF GAS! Discounted Gas!! Discounted Washes!!

X r SPORTS LUNA THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SOCCER'HAWKS FACE BIG 12 FOE OKLAHOMA STATE PAGE 8B WWW..NSAN.COM WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7,2007 LIVERPOOL COMMENTARY PAGE 1B BCS TAKEOVER Redshirts give athletes options BY ERICA JOHNSON Every year, parents face the decision of whether to start their child in kindergarten after the child's fifth birthday, or to hold them until the next year. This typically occurs with children who have summer birthdays and may not be ready to start school. Nevertheless, who's to say that this doesn't work later in life when a person is old enough to make his or her own decisions? Before every season, athletes can decide to elect the redshirt option, which is similar to waiting a year. The option keeps the players off the field for a season but saves a year of eligibility. Redshirts are taken in hopes of becoming a better all-around athletes and creating a stronger individual in order to help the team. Others simply become redshirts because they are academically ineligible or have a medical injury, à la aka senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart. She has been able to further her volleyball career and utilize the year she missed because of her injury. Many typically become redshirts their first year on the team. But that's not always the case. Just this week, sophomore guard Brady Morningstar became a red shirt this season most likely because the basketball team has so many guards and it would be difficult to earn playing time. A benefit of being a redshirt is an extra year of development. This helps athletes better their skills for a specific sport. They can also become stronger both physically and mentally. With that redshirt yean, athletes are able to learn what the coaches and team expect from them. In Morningstar's case, he avoids a season in which it would be near impossible for him to play. Football is the most common sport to see a redshirt. This year's Kansas football team has 57 players who have been red-shirts at one point in their careers. This is a large fraction of the 108 player team. With every upside to a situation, there is a downside. A redshirt athlete is only able to practice with the team. He can't participate in any games or competitions. Even if the athlete plays one minute or one play, he has to use that as one of his four years of eligibility. Some athletes benefit from that year off. Others are too good to sit out a year and would be considered wasting time. Last year sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing was a redshirt until a desperate need for a competent quarterback arose during the Colorado home game. Senior quarterback Adam Barmann struggled to move his offense against the Buffaloes. Head coach Mark Mangino needed a win to have a chance at Bowl eligibility and decided that one win was worth a year of Reesing's services. Reesing displayed fine skills and impressed the coaches enough to make him a competitor for the starting job this season. And look where Reesing and KU football are now: national title contenders. Even though Reesing would still have been practicing as a redshirt last, it's never the same as being in a real game. So whether it's Natalie Uhart, Todd Reeing or Brady Morningstar, electing a redshirt is a decision not to be taken lightly.

Traditionally, Kansas football fans have never needed to decipher the BCS formula, weed through computer rankings or guesstimate opponents' strength-of-schedule numbers. This season is a bit different. With the Jayhawks at No. 4 in this week's BCS rankings, the team stands poised to make a run at a BCS bowl or even the BCS National Championship game. In order for the Jayhawks to make a championship run, a number of things must fall in a certain way. Kansas is currently ranked No. 4 in the BCS Standings behind No. 1 Ohio State, No. 2 LSU and No. 3 Oregon. A loss would slide any of these three teams out of the bcs contenders remaining schedules No.1 Ohio State Nov. 10 Illinois Nov. 17 at No. 12 Michigan No.2 LSU* Nov. 10 Louisiana Tech Nov. 17 at Mississippi Nov. 24 Arkansas No.3 Oregon Nov. 10 at Arizona Nov. 17 at UCLA Nov. 24 Oregon State Nov. 10 at Oklahoma State Nov. 17 Iowa State Nov. 24 Missouri (at Kansas City, Mo.)

Ohio State is a heavy favorite against Illinois, but a slip-up against rival Michigan at Ann Arbor, Mich., is certainly possible. Michigan has won eight straight games after two early losses. The Wolverines look like one of the nation's elite SEEFOOTBALL ON PAGE 6B BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com } It's not the Southeastern Conference or the Pacific-10 Conference, the traditional residences for America's best football programs. Guess again. Only one conference in all of college football is home to three of the nation's top six teams in the most recent BCS poll. Three of the country's top-ranked teams through 10 weeks of football come from none other than the Big 12 Conference. The unlikely storyline has surprised media and fans across the nation, but don't think that the Big 12 coaches feel any shock. "Surprised? No, I'm not surprised," Colorado coach Dan Hawkins said. "Who have you been talking to? Not to the people working in these trenches." When the season began, the scenario would have been as unlikely as Kansas scoring 76 points against Nebraska or as Notre Dame falling to Navy for the first time in 43 years. Now, it is just another illustration of the downright bizarre nature of the 2007 season. With Kansas at No. 4, Oklahoma at No. 5 and Missouri at No. 6, the Big 12 has officially infiltrated the BCS' computer ranking system. The Jayhawks and Tigers are specifically intriguing because neither team even ranked in the pre-season Top 25 poll. "With Kansas being as good as they are and Missouri being as good as they are, I mean these are really good football teams, and I think it's definitely been an upgrade," Iowa State coach Gene Chizik said. "There's a lot more parity that may not have existed two years ago." Chizik has a valid point. It's not that the Big 12 was a disgrace to powerhouse football conferences in the past few years; it's that it had simply turned into an annual two-team race. Texas or Oklahoma has won three straight Big 12 championships and one of the two has appeared in three of the last four national championship games. The Longhorns and Sooners, both teams in the Big 12 South division, have outscored their opponents in the Big 12 Championship Game 133-13 the past three seasons. But their Big 12 North division counterparts, particularly Kansas and Missouri, are catching up in 2007. "I think it's a very strong league, and the North, in time, gets better," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "They have in the last few years, and we've continued to say as coaches that they've got good players and they're playing well. It's true now." Strength and depth exists in a conference that hasn't had much of either in recent years. Coaches said they were pleased the BCS shared that with the rest of the nation. Colorado beat Oklahoma to hand the team its only loss. Kansas State drilled Colorado a couple weeks later. The Wildcats emerged victorious by 20 points against the Longhorns in Austin, Texas, but then lost to the 2-8 Iowa State Cyclones. "It says were a pretty good conference," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "No question." The peculiar results make it clear that the transitive property has no bearing on the outcome of Big 12 games this season — not even for Oklahoma and Texas. Edited by Chris Beattie BASKETBALL Big men roll over Fort Hays State Brandon Rush may have spent Tuesday night on the Kansas bench merely watching his teammates blow out Fort Hays State 94-59 in an exhibition game. But don't think he didn't have an impact. BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Rush delivered a message to senior forward Darnell Jackson before the Jayhawks took the court against the Tigers. "Rush told me, you need to bring some intensity to the court today, and that's what I did." Jackson said. "I went out there and just tried to play my hardest and push myself to get every rebound, try to block some shots and get the guys open" Jackson scored ten points and grabbed eight rebounds in the victory. He also repaired coach Bill Self's main concern following the Jayhawks first exhibition game — rebounding.

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) ripped down two rebounds within the first minute he was subbed in "Your best rebounders, you want them to just turn and hit their man and just go after the ball," Self said. "I think that our three big guys, our three veterans, did a great job of going after the ball." It was one of those big men that sparked the most important Kansas run. The score was still close at 16-6 midway through the first half when sophomore forward Darrell Arthur took over. He scored six points in the next three minutes, which made him the key contributor in a 22-3 run that buried the Tigers. Arthur finished with a game-high 20 points, his first 20-point game in nearly a year. Self stressed the importance of getting the ball to Arthur in the low post leading into the game and it became apparent why. Arthur was 9-for-15 and overpowered the smaller frontcourt of Fort Hays State. Senior guard Russell Robinson said it was no coincidence that Arthur had more opportunities to make an impact. “In the last game, we didn't do a good job of getting him any touches, I don't think he got shots,” Robinson said. “This game we definitely wanted to go through him and get him some looks early and get him going. When he is going, everybody is going.” "Most of my points came from alley-oops, tip ins, throw backs and stuff like that," Arthur said. "I was trying to attack the glass The guards were creative in finding ways to get Arthur the ball near the basket. Arthur said he had a couple of opportunities to use his favorite spin move to get a bucket. But judging by the roar from the Allen Fieldhouse crowd, his most exciting points came from his three alley-oop dunks. more." The guard trio of senior Russell Robinson, junior Mario Chalmer and sophomore Sherron Collins also gave the layhawk faithful much to cheer about. The three combined for 33 points and 10 steals. Self said that while there were some positives to extract from the exhibition game, the Jayhawks still have a long way to go. "One good thing is we were able to play a lot of guys, we're not going to be able to do that from this point forward very often at all, if any," he said. "It was good we were able to play some guys but I do think there are certainly some areas of improvement." - Edited by Rachael Gray NO "PHARM" ON OUR FARMS.

The Jayhawks won 93-56 in Allen Fieldhouse. Up-tempo offense sprints to victory BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Kansas gave a 40-minute example of its new fast-paced offense against Fort Hays State on Tuesday night. The Javahawks scored 21 fast break "I think we can play faster," he said. points compared to zero for Fort Hays State, propelling them to a 93-56 victory. But Kansas coach Bill Self said he didn't even think Kansas reached full speed. Fans who go to Allen Fieldhouse to watch Kansas basketball this season might want to remember one small piece of advice: Don't blink because you might miss something. Kansas pushed Kansas pushee the ball all night behind the three-guard combination of senior Russell Robinson, junior Mario Chalmeris and sophomore Sherron Collins. "You have to play to your advantages. We have got three little guards out there who can all handle the ball and push it." "You have to play to your advantages," Robinson said. "We have got three little guards out there who can all handle the ball and push it. We also have bigs who can run." Robinson, who finished with seven points, 10 assists and six rebounds, said that the Jayhawks had the personnel to run all day, but that they still had to play smart. Senior Darnell Jackson and sophomore Darrell Arthur certainly can run well for being 6"8" and 6'9", respectively, but the two players have been working on another skill. Jackson said Coach Self and Coach Manning had put an emphasis on Kansas' big guys pulling down rebounds and throwing the outlet pass to the guards without hesitation. RUSSELL ROBINSON Senior guard Self said he didn't want people Kansas' high-octane offense did sputter a few times against Fort Hays State. Kansas had 19 turnovers — most of them coming from mental mistakes — against Fort Hays State after only turning the ball over nine times against Pittsburg State. Kansas 93, Fort Hays State 56 TOT-FG 3-PT to think that Kansas was trying to play faster to compensate for junior Brandon Rush's absence. Kansas is well suited to run with Collins, Chalmers and Robinson in the line-up, but Self thinks the addition of Rush "I love getting the ball out and just going, and I'd rather just get it and go than hold it and kill the transition," Jackson said. won't slow things down at all. REBOUNDS "I think we'll run just as much when Brandon's there, because we should be a better rebounding team when Brandon gets back," Self said. "I think those three guys are pretty fast and do a good job pushing it, but I don't think those three guys make us a faster team than we would be if Rod was in the game or Brandon was in the game." Kansas averaged 93.5 points during its exhibition games against Pittsburgh State and Fort Hays State. But Self had a message for his team heading into the Jayhawks' regular season opener against Louisiana Monroe on Friday: Speed alone doesn't score points. "We would score more points if we played a little faster but exercised more patience," Self said. Edited by Chris Beattie

basketball notebook "That's not as fast as it's going to get," Self said about the speed of Kansas exhibition games. "But Cole's improved a ton since practice has started. He still got a ways to go, and the game is fast for him, but as he gets stronger, he's going to be okay. He's going Bill Self has been blunt about Cole Aldrich's development during the first few weeks of practice. The speed game has been simply too fast for the 6'11" McDonalds All-American from Bloomington, Minn. Self isn't trying to be negative. Aldrich is just going through the normal freshman growing pains. But after two games, Self said he was pleased with the way Aldrich is coming along. ALDRICH IMPROVING Fort Hays State has played two exhibition games this season, one against Kansas and one against Kansas State. The results of the games look similar on paper. The Jayhawks beat the Tigers by 37 points while the Wildcats cruised to a 36-point victory, 95-59, on Saturday. Which team does Fort Hays State think will win when the two rivals face off in Big 12 Conference play? "KU plays at a quicker pace; K-State has some amazing athletes," Tiger freshman guard Corbin Kuntzsch said. "But I feel like KU as a team gels better." to be a good player for us." KANSAS VS. KANSAS STATE tall", junior guard Tyrone Evans said. "To me, KU's guards are better, but it is going to be a battle when those two meet. I am going to be watching that, believe me." ALLEN FIELDHOUSE EMPTY Sections of Allen Fieldhouse were completely unoccupied in the game against Fort Hays State. Despite an announced attendance of 16,300, parts of the student section and general admission section looked uncharacteristically vacant. The northeast end of Allen Fieldhouse was particularly empty. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Rustin Dodd and Case Keefer Before Kansas tipped off against Fort Hays State, there wasn't a question about who would win the game (Kansas did, 93-56). So I decided to roam the halls and bleachers of Allen Fieldhouse and ask a different question, one that would make for a column vastly more interesting than anything taken from the game. It's a question that's relevant for the first time – well ever. "Both teams are athletic and BY TRAVIS ROBINETT KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM Would you rather see Kansas win a national title in football or in basketball this season? "You think you're going to get me to answer that question?" said Max Falkenstien, the legendary announcer for Kansas athletics who has his own banner hanging among other KU basketball greats, as he walked from the media room to the court. TOMMY "Let's say both," he said. "For one school to have two teams in the top five is tremendous." That makes the question that much more difficult to answer. "That's tough," said Jarred Godd, a Leawood junior. "Football ... no one would be expecting it, and it would be cooler because we may not get another chance. Even if we don't win basketball, we'll still be a basketball school. And we'll have other chances at basketball." Kim Degand, a Topeka freshman, said football too. I have to try, right Max? "It would be so out of the ordinary and would set a different standard for football" she said. How about both? "Yes, it would be great to see both." But this is Allen Fieldhouse, and "We get so close in basketball, and we never win" he said. "Football is so new, it's the first time we've been good in a long time." Kansas is a basketball school, right? isn't anyone going to say basket- ball' Someone finally did: Jerrin Thompson, a Lawrence sophomore. Before she answered, her husband of 43 years, Luther, jumped in and said, "Basketball is their bread and butter." "Basketball," said Christian Huffman, Louisberg resident, who came to the game with his dad, Jim. "The basketball team has a better chance because it's decided on the court," Kay said. "Because with football you've got to rely on a bunch of knuckleheads somewhere instead of on how you play" "Yeah, basketball," Kay said. "Football's going to be too hard. But I went to the game on Saturday, and呀 "Whoa," said Kay Dobbs, a Topeka resident. She paused for about eight seconds. "That's a hard one. Wow." So husband and wife ultimately agreed. What about father and son? When I ventured out of the student section, the question remained just as perplexing. Yeah, it was pretty amazing. "We're more established in basketball." "Football," Jim said. "I remember sitting on the hull in '84 and '85 and seeing the stands empty. It's really neat to see KU in the national spotlight. But I'd take basketball if it's North Carolina in the championship game." Now that's an interesting hypothetical. And third, there's something about growing up in Texas and being at the games when Kansas lost for so many years - at Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Baylor, SMU, TCU and any other Texas school you could name - that makes me that much more thrilled about the football team's success. It's nice to gloat about Kansas football to Texans, a breed of folk who are extra arrogant about the sport. So after asking a number of true Jayhawks, neither answer was universal. But, again hypothetically, if some weird reporter came up to me and proposed the same question, I would have said football. A national championship would establish consistency for KU football. A sold out Memorial Stadium every game means more success for all of Kansas's sports, including basketball. Either way, no matter how you answer, no matter where your loyalties ultimately lie, today is a great day to be a Jayhawk. Second, to be sincere, I've always loved KU football just as much as KU basketball. —Edited by Chris Beattie Let's see Kansas pull a Florida and win both national titles.

Three games remain on LSU's regular season slate. The Tigers play host to Louisiana Tech, visit Mississippi and play Arkansas at home before presumably playing in the SEC Championship game. Louisiana Tech should be a cinch at home, Mississippi is winless in conference play and Arkansas is not a top-tier opponent by any measure. If LSU advances to the SEC Championship, it will most likely face Georgia or Tennessee, two good teams that could knock the Tigers out of BCS contention. Oregon faces Arizona and UCLA on the road before finishing the season at home against Oregon State. Arizona and UCLA have been inconsistent all season, but in-state rival Oregon State could give the Ducks some trouble. In the circumstance that Ohio State, LSU and Oregon win the rest of their games, Kansas still could jump into second place in the BCS Standings, according to analysts. The Jayhawks would obviously need to win all of their remaining games — at Oklahoma State, vs. Iowa State, vs. Missouri, Big 12 Championship — in convincing fashion. Also, Kansas' strength-of-schede would have to stay respectable for the team to leapfrog LSU and Oregon. That means Kansas fans should shamelessly cheer the teams Kansas trounced early in the season. Central Michigan and Toledo have put together decent seasons but Southeastern Louisiana and Florida International have dragged the Jayhawks' strength-of-schedule down with a horrific 2-16 combined record. Late-season victories by Baylor, Kansas State, Colorado and Texas A&M could also give Kansas a boost in the eyes of the pollsters, whose votes count in the BCS formula. So remember: If you're a Kansas football fan, don't bounce when you see Missouri beating Texas A&M this Saturday. Kansas fans should also hop on the Missouri and Oklahoma bandwagons — at least for the time being. A Kansas victory against Missouri on Nov. 24 and a subsequent triumph against Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship one week later would probably catapult the Jayhawks into the National Championship game, but only if Missouri and Oklahoma win all of their games leading up to their match-ups against Kansas. BIG 12 FOOTBALI Tight end tandem strong but forgotten Edited by Luke Morris COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel has a lot of targets in the spread offense, so it isn't uncommon for some receivers to occasionally get lost in the shuffle. It happened to wide receiver Will Franklin when he caught just one pass over two games last month. And despite the fact that the Tigers have what many consider to be the best tight end dandem in the nation in Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman, it's happened to both of them. Not that they mind. Both say they're happy to share the load. "I think him (Rucker) being here the same time as me is great," Coffman said. "It helps us both out, and it takes some of the pressure off the both of us." Rucker was the All-Big 12 tight end last season and has often been one of the go-to players for No.7 Missouri (8-1, 4-1 Big 12), which hosts Texas A&M (6-4, 3-3) on Saturday. He has 60 catches for 617 yards and five touchdowns. At times, Coffman has seemed to be the forgotten man. If there was any doubt about his importance to the team, that was erased in Saturday's 55-10 win at Colorado. Associated Press football notebook Coach Mark Mangino named the players of the week Tuesday. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reseing earned the offensive player of the week award for his 30-of-41, 354 passing yard, six touchdown. PLAYERS OF THE WEEK performance. Reesing set both the Kansas single- game and single-season passing down records last Saturday. Junior wide SUNDAY Reesing receiver Marcus Herford won special teams player of the week for his Kansas single-game record of 203 kick return yards. Herford re turned two kicks for 49 yards each. Mangino did not name a defensive player of the week. The scout team players of the week were senior guard Rameses Arceo and freshman defensives back Eric Tyler. DEFENSE WILL BE OK Despite the fact that the Kansas defense allowed 484 yards of total offense last week, Mangino said he had no concerns about the state of the unit. The coach said communication breakdowns between Kansas players and several unexpected play-calls by Nebraska resulted in big plays. Mangino said he was pleased with the way his team reacted to Nebraska's 24-point first half. Kansas pulled away from Nebraska by forcing four second-half turnovers and allowing only two touchdowns after halftime. EVERYONE WANTS A PIECE OF MANGING A spot in the nation's top five tends to earn plenty of attention. Mangino said that trying to balance numerous media requests with the day-to-day duties of coaching the team was difficult but a natural byproduct of the Jayhawks' strong play. "It's great when you're having a lot of people interested in your program because that means everybody is doing something right," Mangino said. "But we are not going to be taken off track. We have a smart bunch of kids here that see what's taking place and are enjoying it but are not caught up in it." TALIB A SEMIFINALIST FOR THORPE AWARD Junior cornerback Aqib Talib is among 12 semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe Award, given annually to college football's best defensive back. On Nov. 19, three finalists three finalists Talib will be announced and on Dec. 6, the winner will be decided. KANSAS KANSAS 9 0 11 VOLLEYBALL Kansas continues to be strong on the net. The Jayhawk hitters have increased blocks and kills this season. 'Hawks counter 'Horns with skilled hitters — Asher Fusco Jon Goerina/KANSAN BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com What a difference a month makes. On Oct. 3, freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser had just finished off her first six Big 12 conference matches of her career. Kaiser, a Wichita native, hit for 49 kills during that six-match stretch. A month later on Nov. 3, Kaiser was on the court hitting for 18 kills during Kansas' 3-2 upset win against No. 18 Oklahoma. The match concluded a six-game stretch where Kaiser had posted 75 kills. So that's 49 kills in her first six conference matches and 75 in her last six. A sign of a freshman getting a little more comfortable, perhaps? Kansas will need Kaiser to continue her hot offensive pace if it wants to hang with No. 3 Texas tonight at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The "Oh man," Kaiser said, when asked about how she's developed during the last month. "You learn a lot." Jayhawks comes into tone's match with a 11-14 record and a 4-11 Big 12 conference mark. Texas is 18-3 and 13-1 in the Big 12. injury. Texas defeated Kansas 3-0 in Austin, Texas, on Oct. 13, and then the Longhorns did the unthinkable. They defeated the then-No. 1 team in the country, the undefeated Nebraska Cornhuskers. Kansas will counter with Kaiser, who was not as highly touted out of high school, but continues to improve every game. The freshman has led Kansas in kills eight times. "The coaches they tell you every single second, 'you need to this or you need to do that,' " Kaiser said. "So they help out a lot. And just experience from the games" Texas has two All-American caliber outside hitters. Sophomore Destinee Hooker averages 4.71 kills per game and freshman Juliann Fauctee is averaging 4.80 kills per game. PrepVolleyball.com ranked Fauctee, a San Diego native, the second best volleyball recruit in the country out of high school. She had 22 kills against Kansas the first time the teams met this season while Hooker didn't play because of an A victory would give Kansas its first against Texas since Nov. 8, 2003. Texas has won the last seven matches. Kansas can also play the spoiler role tonight. Texas is tied with Nebraska for first in the Big 12 conference at 13-1. Both teams gave each other its lone defeat, so if both teams win out, Nebraska and Texas would share the Big 12 volleyball title.

Here are the studs and duds of the weekend in the NFL. STUDS QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints — Brees struggled early in the season but shifted into high gear in the last few weeks. On Sunday Brees completed 35 of 49 passes for 445 yards and three touchdowns. He got the Saints' offense back in top form as it was last year, and more impressively, he did it against a tough Jacksonville defense. Maybe New Orleans has a chance to win the NFC South division now. 28 29 20 WR Lee Evans, Buffalo Bills BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, left, runs past San Diego Chargers safety Marlon McCree, right, during the third quarter for a 13-yard gain in NFL action, Sunday in Minnesota. Peterson finished with 29 and three touchdowns as Minnesota beat San Diego 35-17. We see Evans, Darius Hills — Everyone who held on to Evans and waited patiently benefited in the last two weeks. On Sunday Evans had nine catches for 165 yards and one touchdown. The Bills earned the victory against a hapless Bengals队 with no defense. Maybe, though, this was just what the Bills needed to kickstart their offense. ASSOCIATED PRESS RB Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings - This one was obvious. Peterson was the best player of the weekend. He set the record for most rushing yards in a game. Peterson had 30 carries for 296 yards and three touchdowns. Can the NFL just give him the Rookie of the Year award right now? TE Kellen Winslow, Cleveland Browns — Everyone who thought Winslow would eventually be one of the top tight ends in the league can take a moment to revel in their great prediction right now. Winslow has had a solid season so far. He added to that strong season Sunday against Seattle. Winslow had 11 catches for 125 yards. The Browns continued to surprise on offense Sunday, and Winslow was a big part of it. Detroit defense — The Lions were near the bottom of the NFL in both pass and rush defense entering Sunday's contest with the Broncos. But an injury to Jay Cutler and key turnovers helped the Lions shut down the Bronco offense. The Lions allowed only 47 rushing yards and seven points in the QB Alex Smith, San Francisco 49ers — The 49ers looked to have a breakout season this year, but the season has turned out a little disappointing. The offense added Darrell Jackson, Vernon Davis returned after an injury and Frank Gore came off a breakout season. But the 49ers have struggled mightily this season. Smith has been a big part of that. On Sunday, Smith completed only 17 of 38 passes for 149 passing yards and three interceptions. Smith and his progression are key to the 49ers' offense. points he attempted. The only field goal he missed was a 52-yarder. In just his first season in the league, Crosby has proved he has one of the strongest legs in the NFL. DUDS WR Steve Smith, Carolina I really didn't think that Gates would ever land on the list of worst performances from the NFL weekend. game. It's hard to believe the Lions have six wins in the season already, but if they continue playing like this, they may be playing in the postseason. K Mason Crosby, Green Bay Packers — Crosby has proven to be a steal from last spring's NFL Draft. On Sunday, Crosby made four of five field goals and all three extra Panthers — How did an average Tennessee defense hold Smith to only three catches for only 15 yards? I blame David Carr for most of Carolina's problem. Carr has struggled managing the Carolina offense, and Smith has suffered from the inconsistent play and rotation of the Carolina quarterbacks. If the offense can ever find a rhythm, Smith will be a big factor. RB Rudi Johnson, Cincinnati Bengals — Johnson returned from an injury this week but he might have been better off sitting on the bench. Johnson faced a porous Buffalo defense and still couldn't get anything going. Johnson had a mere nine carries for 11 yards. His back-up Kenny Watson didn't fare much better, with only four carries for 11 yards. Cincinnati has been a disappointment this season. If the Bengals want to turn it around, they will need to rely on the normally steady legs of Johnson. TE Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers — I really didn't think Gates would ever land on the list of worst performances from the weekend. Gates and the Chargers faced a terrible Vikings passing defense, but the Chargers offense couldn't get anything going through the air. Gates had only one catch for ten yards. The Chargers were flat out embarrassed by the Vikings. They'll need more consistent play from all of their offense to win in the wide-open AFC West division. Jacksonville defense — Jacksonville had a pretty good pass defense and an average rush defense entering the game against New Orleans on Sunday, but the Jaguars were just dismantled by the Saints' offense. Drew Brees threw for more than 400 yards, Marques Colston had more than 100 receiving yards and Reggie Bush had 115 total yards and two touchdowns. The Jaguars could not stop anybody on Sunday. MLB Baseball shows interest in 'getting it right' BY RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS ORLANDO. Fla. — Baseball could soon have a new position: replay judge. General managers recommended for the first time Tuesday that instant replay be used to help umpires on boundary calls — whether potential home runs are fair or foul, whether balls go over fences or hit the tops and bounce back, and whether fans interfere with possible homers. The proposal was approved by a 25-5 vote. There was no specific time frame on when such a system might be put in place. "We've taken the first step. The question will be now, what do we do?" said Jimmie Lee Solomon, executive vice president for baseball operations in the commissioner's office. "We have glacier-like movement in baseball, so I'm hopeful that we can at least start meaningful discussions about it. I think that this will be something we'll have to go very deliberately on." Solomon said the next step would be to speak with MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, who overlooks the use of replays but said last month he was willing to let general managers examine the issue. If Selig gives the go-ahead, Solomon and the staff in the commissioner's office will draft a detailed replay proposal that general managers can vote on when they gather next month at the winter meetings in Nashville, Tenn. "All anybody is interested in is getting it right," Chicago White Sox General Manager Ken Williams said. "It will be a lot easier and less time to get that right than some of these arguments that ensue when a call is disputed." Replay eventually would have to be approved by the unions for players and umpires, and possibly in a vote by owners. "It's very important that we do get Bud's agreement on this," Solomon said. "He seemed to be softer, at least, on the consideration of the subject lately. I would not consider him an advocate of instant replay. He will have to be convinced." Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer, said it would be an "aggressive time frame" to have replay in place next year. "There's a lot that's going to have to be studied with regard to the technology, with regard to when you would use it, with regard to how it could get implemented," he said. "I don't think it's likely, frankly, that all of that could be accomplished over the course of the next several months." He suggested that it could be tested during spring training or during next year's Arizona Fall League. He also said he didn't see a wider use of replay than for what general managers recommended. "I don't think there is a significant impetus toward destroying what has been 150 years of the human aspects of baseball," he said. Solomon said if replay couldn't be put it place for the start of next season, it was possible it could make its debut in the postseason.

On Tuesday, the commissioner informed Jones he still hasn't changed his mind. Jones had met with the commissioner last week in New York, pleading for some leniency and an early return. But the cornerback whose biggest community service was buying wrestling tickets for Atlanta students to watch him at a pay-per-view event last month didn't convince Goodell. The commissioner told Jones his suspension will last through this season, which would include the playoffs if the Titans (6-2) qualify. "He will be eligible to begin working out at the Titans' facility following the conclusion of the teams' season," the league said in a statement late Tuesday afternoon.

Johnson's foot got caught under A.J. Hawk and twisted awkwardly as the Green Bay linebacker dragged him down from behind in the fourth quarter Sunday of the Packers' 33-22 victory. He was on crutches as he left the stadium. "The severity of it, I don't know because I'm not the doctor," Edwards said. "As far as I know right now, it will be very difficult for him to play this week." Edwards declined to speculate Larry Johnson, a two-time Pro Bowl player, has a sprained right foot and is highly questionable for Sunday's game against Denver, Kansas City coach Herm Edwards said Tuesday. on how long Johnson might be out.

The African Studies Resource Center has invited cape Cape Verde President Antonio Monteiro to speak from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Pine Room in the Kansas Union. Monteiro was the first democratically elected president in Cape Verde, a republic located on a string of islands off the western coast of Africa. He also allowed a democratic transition in the nation's government when he left office. Craig Pearman, office manager for the center, said the Boston University African President Archives and Research Center made the visit possible. "Having a real-life, in-the-flesh former politician would give us some insight as to what a president of an African country is thinking and maybe how the democratic things proceed in an African country with election processes and a peaceful transition," Pearman said. The center focused its seminars this semester on the question of leadership in Africa. After Monteiro's speech, the center will play host to Student Night at the Spencer Museum of Art from 6 to 8 p.m., which will feature a performance by the Kansas University African Drumming and Dancing Ensemble. — Sarah Neff What do you think?

STEPHANIE RHOADS Wichita sonhomore Wichita sophomore "Since we've been doing so well this year, I think it would be better for the fans to be here. I know that it (picking up tickets with friends) is not fun because there is always that one straggler that didn't get their tickets in time." A CHANDLER MAXON Topeka freshman "Ireally wish that it could be in Lawrence because it would be so much easier to get people there, and there would be more fans. But at least it is close enough that people can still go." ENTENMIAL MART'S SCHOOL J SCHOOL LOGAN MILLER Champaign, Ill., freshman "I think it is good just because it's at a neutral site, but it takes away a bit from the college atmosphere Playing at home gets the players riled up a little bit more.

Michael Mazza was recaptured four hours later at a pawn shop, the deputy's gun still on him, Broward County Sheriff Al Lamberti said. The 40-year-old suspect confessed to the shooting, the sheriff said. Mazza, dressed in a suit and tie, was on his way to the second day of trial on charges of bank robbery and eluding police. He had been complaining of a back problem, which is why he was in the medical van, but it's not clear if that was a legitimate claim, sheriff's spokesman Elliott Cohen said. Deputy Paul Rein talked to his wife on his cell phone just before 8 a.m., then set out on the routine transfer from a county jail, Lamberti said. Minutes after departing, Mazza fought through a partition separat ing him from Rein, the sole officer in the vehicle, the sheriff said. Rein died at a hospital shortly after he was found bleeding in a Pompano Beach parking lot just after the attack. He was not wearing a bulletproof vest and had been shot once in the chest, the sheriff said. He had other injuries, including a broken finger and bruises, suffered in the altercation with Mazza, Lamberti said. Mazza was charged with first-degree murder and escape, and was transferred to a maximum-security jail in Miami-Dade County after a judge denied him bond. "We all just feel it's probably better he be housed at another facility outside of Broward County," Lambertl said. Mazza was already serving one life sentence for armed robbery. Authorities initially speculated accomplices may have helped him escape Wednesday, but Lamberti said they had no evidence of that. Traffic backed up for miles, and schools were placed on lockdown as authorities launched a manhunt The van was found 20 miles away in a Fort Lauderdale restaurant parking lot. Rein is the fourth South Florida law enforcement officer and the third Broward deputy shot in the last three months. Associated Press City discusses student housing issues 》 LAWRENCE Oread Neighborhood Association, commissioners look to solve problems BY SASHA ROE City Commissioners met with the Oread Neighborhood Association Wednesday for a study session to discuss solutions for the student-populated neighborhood's problems of unkept housing and excessive partying. "It's not a meeting to attack students," Candice Davis, Oread Neighborhood Association vice president, said. "It's helping to make the area be more desirable." Davis said because the of about 96 percent rental properties, has problems because it doesn't have many year-long residents who give it a more livable, responsible environment, she said. Davis said the neighborhood was on the national registry of historic places and was a jewel to the city of Lawrence that was in jeopardy of "It's not a meeting to attack students. It's helping to make the area be more desirable." CANDICE DAVIS Oread Neighborhood Association vice president neighborhood, located directly east of campus, housed both families and college students, it faced complex situations. The neighborhood, which consists tion could help solve current health and safety issues with temporary residents. Parking permits were also discussed to control the high number of cars parked on the streets. Members also addressed the concern of excessive partying within the neighborhood. Beth Reiber, association member, said the neighborhood was essentially the Lawrence nightlife for students, especially those who were underage and couldn't drink downtown. Association members said they would like to see additional law enforcement and cooperation from the University because of the close proximity to campus, and because the majority of residents were students. Commissioner Rob Chestnut said he joined police officers on a ride along during the past weekend. He said he realized that allocation of resources was very important. "That's the challenge." Chestnut said. "We have a time window between 1:30 and 3 in the morning and we have establishments in the community emptying out. It would have to be a mass force because it's so prevalent at that time. It's a resource issue." City manager Dave Corliss agreed and called the neighborhood a "party atmosphere", and suggested looking into a safety initiative for the area. The commissioners and association members agreed to look further into how to solve the problems, especially the trash and blight in the neighborhood. Davis said the neighborhood had a lot of problems from residents not caring how the area looked. She said the beer bottles, red plastic cups and trash from weekend parties hurt the neighborhood and the Lawrence community. "Having kids pee and throw up in your yard isn't pleasant," Davis said. Edited by Meghan Murphy student senate notebook Student Senate committees met Wednesday night to discuss legislation. All legislation must be passed by full Senate before it is enacted. Full Senate meets next Wednesday. Here are some highlights of the issues discussed by the various committees: MULTICULTURAL TRAVEL FUNDING LIMITED The finance committee voted to limit the amount of travel funding that the Multicultural Education Fund Board can provide for multicultural groups and events. One amendment to Senate rules and regulations would limit the amount of funding the board could provide for each event. The board could provide up to $175 per person traveling to a domestic event, up to a $5,000 maximum per group. For international events, the limit would be $350 per student, up to a $10,000 maximum per group. The finance committee also approved an amendment that would limit the total amount of the Multicultural Education Fund that could be used to fund travel. Only 75 percent of the fund could be used to send groups outside campus. Brian Hardouin, law senator, said the fund could easily be spent entirely on travel expenses for multicultural groups, but this would not allow multicultural events and groups on campus to be funded. The Multicultural Education Fund comes from a $1.50 fee that KU students pay each semester. The Multicultural Education Fund Board, which consists of Student Senate members and members of the Multicultural Resource Center, decide what groups and events qualify as multicultural. EXECUTIVE STAFF PROHIBITED FROM BEING SENATORS The student rights committee passed legislation Wednesday night that, if passed next week, will prohibit student executive members from serving as student senators. The Student Senate executive staff includes the student body president, vice president, treasurer, communications director, executive secretary, transportation coordinator and members of the Student Legislative Awareness Board. Of those members, four currently serve as student senators in addition to their executive positions. The executive staff members are paid employees of Student Senate. Student senators don't receive pay. Jarrod Morgenstern, journalism senator and Overland Park senior, said that members of the executive staff, if they were also serving as student senators, had dual influence. Adam McGonigle, chairman of the student executive committee and student senator, said that when he took his position on the executive staff in June he was instructed that he would not be on the clock as an executive staff member when he was in his role as student senator. The student senate executive positions are appointed after student senate elections, so McGonigle said that if this legislation were passed through full Senate, people who were elected as student senators and then appointed to executive positions would have to resign as senators. EXECUTIVE TUITION SPONSORSHIPS TO COME FROM STUDENT FEES The student rights committee passed legislation that requires monetary compensation received by student senators to come from the Student Senate budget, meaning that the money would come from student fees, not from the University administration. The legislation, an amendment to Senate rules and regulations, is aimed at the tuition sponsorships received by the student body president, vice president, treasurer and legislative director. The sponsorships currently come from the discretionary budget of the Office of Student Success. lan Staples, student rights committee member, said that it was a potential conflict of interest for the KU administration to be funding the tuition of student senate executives. "It's democratic to be compensated by the people you represent," Staples said. THIS WEEK ON CAMPUS Thursday, November 8th at 7pm In the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union PIZZA WILL BE PROVIDED!!

The College Bowl is a nationwide trivia tournament in which each participating university holds a tournament and the top team from each university advances to regional competition. If the team competes well in regionals, it could then advance to the nationwide final round. Teams wanting to compete in Saturday's event can register for $10 at the Student Union Activities Box Office on the fourth level of the Kansas Union until 5 p.m. Friday. At the event, participants will receive free shirts, pizza and other items. In addition, members of the winning team will receive medals and an all-expense-paid trip to the regional competition on Feb. 22-23 at Wichita State University. Rob Schabel, Kansas City, Mo, senior and SUA games coordinator, said there was room for 16 teams in the round-robin tournament and each team must have four members, though a fifth member could play as an alternate. Davis, Overland Park junior, whose team won the College Bowl at the University two years in a row. The team competed in regionals last year at the University of Missouri and competed the previous year at Kansas State. Davis said his team didn't practice for the event. He said the biggest advantage was having experience from participating the past two years. He also said the questions at the College Bowl could vary in difficulty. "It can go from one question, which is very simple to the next question being about something that I never even heard of" he said. Davis said he wasn't expecting his team to win the tournament this weekend because each year the competition had proven to be equally tough. Phillip Wrigley, Lawrence senior, has competed on Davis' team since 2005. He said that while the team enjoyed winning and advancing to regionals, the members weren't overly concerned with their performance at regionals. "We usually end up about midrange in the end, because the other schools send their inhuman answer machines who defeat us pretty easily," Wrigley said. Wrigley said that even if students were not serious about winning the tournament, they could still have fun and maybe learn something as well. "It really is just a fun game," he said. "Go spend the day with your friends being as nerdy as you can be." Edited by Rachel Bock 7-foot-8 man named tallest man in United States >> GUINESS WORLD RECORDS ASSOCIATED PRESS NORFOLK, Va. — To all those people who blurt out "Wow, you're tall!" as they stare up at George Bell: He knows. And now, the world will know, too. The lanky, 7-foot-8 Norfolk sheriff's deputy is being recognized Thursday by Guinness World Records as the Tallest Man in the United States. That makes him 2 inches taller than the NBA's current tallest player, Yao Ming, but too short to be the world's tallest living man. He stands below, according to Guinness; Ukraine's 8-foot-5.5 Leonid Stadnyk and China's Bao Xi Shun, who is 7-foot-8.95. To answer the inevitable questions: Bell wears size-19 shoes, pants with a 43-inch inseam and shirts with 45-inch sleeves. He did play basketball, in college and with the Harlem Wizards and Harlem Globetrotters show teams. And as for how he feels about being so tall? "I have no choice but to like it," Bell, 50, said in an interview with The Associated Press as he paced the sidelines of a Pee Wee football game at a city park, where he was providing security. "I'm used to a small man's world," he added in a deep voice that suits his stature. "I've been dealing with a small man's world since I was a kid." Bell was to be revealed as America's tallest man on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday, when 200,000 people worldwide were expected to celebrate Guinness World Records Day by attempting to set records of their own.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has already conducted several inspections in Lawrence hotels BY BRENA HAWLEY bhawley@kansan.com The cart sat in the hallway of The Eldridge Hotel, filled with clean towels, coffee, shampoo, trash bags, a duster, cleaning solution and a mop. Inside room 506, the maid went through her cleaning ritual. She folded a washcloth in an accordion pattern and placed it neatly into a newly changed towel. She washed the tub and sink, cleaned the mirrors, mopped the floor, remade the king-size bed and fluffed the pillows. No detail was overlooked as she prepared the room for her manager's inspection. "The girls will do a better job if they know someone is checking their rooms," Nancy Longhurst. Eldridge general manager, said. She said she was proud of the hotel's perfect health record this year. All 780 of Kansas' lodging establishments are now being forced to clean up their acts because of a new state policy that is in effect for the first time this year. The policy requires them to be inspected by the state yearly rather than just after complaints. "I think annual inspections will be a great thing for the hotel industry", Longhurst said. "For us, it would be great because we already adhere to all the standards they would inspect." State lawmakers allocated $246,616 and four inspectors to lodging inspections. The inspectors are based in Lawrence, Wichita, Salina and Topeka, and each is responsible for about 195 hotels per year. Michael Moore, general manger of the hotel, said the issues were not as problematic as the report made them seem. The trash was probably a small piece of paper in a corner that the vacuum missed, he said, and the hairs weren't plenitful. In Lawrence, several inspections have already been conducted. Among them was the Marriott-owned Springhill Suites and 1 Riverfront Plaza, which was inspected on Sept. 5. Inspectors found "hairs on mattress pads, bits of debris on floors, stains on carpet and low water pressure," among other problems. Moore said he thought that the inspections would make hotel's staff a little more aware of how clean the rooms are, and would push employees to look for smaller items, such as trash in the corners or a smudge on a light switch that may not be on a normal cleaning list. Hotels can't spend too much more time on rooms, he said. They have to find a balance between spotless rooms and long hours for maids. "It's not like the mattresses looked like a dog had been dragged across them," Moore said. Hallmark Inn, 730 Iowa St., was inspected on Jan. 11. The report indicated that there was mold on caulking, cigarette holes in sheets and stains on chairs, box springs and mattresses. "I don't think any hotel will ever be 100 percent clean." Moore said. Since the report, the hotel's management has changed. Now the hotel is working on renovations, partly because of the inspections. "We are taking into consideration inspections from different agencies," Art Kato, hotel vice president, said. "The purpose of our renovation is to improve overall appearance and quality of our product." Mary Glassburner, who administers the inspection program for the Bureau of Consumer Health, part of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the inspection program was put in place in May.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2007 NEWS 5A 》 CRIME Gunman kills 7 students, principal in Finland ASSOCIATED PRESS Pupils leave the Jokela high school in Tusaua, Finland, Wednesday, with their parents after a shooting. Officials said at least eight people were killed after an 18-year-old man opened fire at the Jokela High School in southern Finland. Another person was "severely injured" while 10 other people had minor injuries. Nitirsuena, said. TUUSULA, Finland — An 18-year-old gunman opened fire at his high school in this placid town in southern Finland on Wednesday, killing seven other students and the principal before mortally wounding himself in a rampage that stunned a nation where gun crime is rare. Police were analyzing YouTube postings that appeared to anticipate the massacre, including clips in which a young man calls for revolution and apparently prepares for the attack by test firing on a semi-automatic handgun. ASSOCIATED PRESS Investigators said the gunman, who was not identified, shot himself in the head after the shooting spree at Jokela High School in Tuusula, some 30 miles north of the capital, Helsinki. He died later at Tooolo Hospital in Helsinki. The teen killed five boys, two girls and the female principal with a.22 caliber pistol, police said, adding that about a dozen more people were injured while fleeing the school. Officials said more than 400 students ages 12 through 18 were enrolled. Witnesses described a scene of mayhem at the school in the leafy lakeside community, saying the shooter prowled the building looking for victims while shouting slogans for "revolution." Police Chief Matti Tohkanen said the gunman didn't have a previous criminal record. "He was from an ordinary family," Tohkanen said. He said the teen belonged to a gun club and had gotten a license for the pistol Oct. 19. Gun ownership is fairly common in Finland by European standards, but deadly shootings are rare. Finnish media reported that a school shooting in 1989 involved a 14-year-old boy who killed two other students apparently for teasing him. Investigators were searching for connections to the shooter and a possible motive in YouTube postings that appeared to reveal plans for Wednesday's deadly attack. One video, titled "Jokela High School Massacre," showed a picture of what appeared to be the Jokela school and two photos of a young man holding a handgun. The person who posted the video was identified in the user profile as an 18-year-old man from Finland. The posting was later removed. The profile contained a text calling for a "revolution against the system." Another video clip showed a young man clad in a dark jacket loading a clip into a handgun and firing several shots at an apple placed on the ground in a wooded area. He smiled and waved to the camera at the end of the clip. A third clip showed photos of what appeared to be same man posing with a gun and wearing a T-shirt with the text "Humanity is overrated." Kim Kiuru, a teacher, said the principal announced over the public address system just before noon that all students should remain in their classrooms. "After that I saw the gunman running with what appeared to be a small-caliber handgun in his hand through the doors toward me, after which I escaped to the corridor downstairs and ran in the opposite direction." Kuru told reporters. He said he saw a woman's body as he fleed the building. "Then my pupils shouted at me out of the windows to ask what they should do and I told them to jump out of the windows ... and all my pupils were saved." Kiura said. Terhi Vayrynen, a 17-year-old student, told The Associated Press that her brother Henri, 13, and his classmates had witnessed the assailant shoot the principal outside the school through their classroom windows. She said the gunman then entered her brother's classroom shouting: "Revolution! Smash everything!" When no one did anything, the attacker shot the television set and windows but did not fire at the youngsters, she said. Then he ran out and down the corridor. Viviani Korhonen, a student at the high school, told Finnish broadcaster YLE she feared for her life as news of the shooting spread through the building. "We were terrified and afraid. We thought that we might die as he was still able to come to our classroom," she said. "We were informed all the time. We were calling our friends "Mostly nothing happens here, this is nice surroundings and not any criminals to talk of. This was a total surprise," said Reijo Pekka, whose Artuu Sililata was at the school. Residents in Tuscula, a town of 34,000 people, said such attacks were unheard in of the area. and asking for information." Students said the killer often wore the same clothes to school — brown leather jacket, black trousers and checkered shirt — and usually carried a briefcase. Tuomas Hulkkonen, another student, said he knew the gunman well, and added that the teen had been acting strange lately. "He withdrew into his shell. I had noticed a change in him just recently, and I thought that perhaps he was a bit depressed, or something, but I couldn't imagine that in reality he would do anything like this," Hulkkonen told Finnish TV broadcaster MTV3. Experts warned that the shooting could inspire copycat attacks. "An event like this in Finland might have an effect in the U.S." Christopher P. Lucas, a psychiatry professor at New York University, said. He said YouTube provided a ready way for shooters to publicize their acts and provided some sort of justification. Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen described the bloodshed as "extremely tragic" and declared Thursday a day of mourning with flags to be flown half-staff. COURT CASE Teacher accused of fleeing with boy faces charges EL CENTRO, Calif. — A judge denied bail Wednesday for a 25-year-old teacher accused of fleeing to Mexico with a 13-year-old student, and the woman agreed to be transferred from California to Nebraska to face the charges. Kelsey Peterson's court-appointed attorney argued for $100,000 bail, but a federal magis trate judge in El Centro ruled she was a flight risk. Associated Press The boy immigrated illegally to the U.S. when he was younger and speaks little Spanish. Peterson is charged with taking a minor across state lines with the intention of having sex with him. The boy considered Peterson his best friend, but not his girlfriend. and had sex with her "maybe twice," he said in an interview at a home in Janitzio, Mexico, where he is staying with a family friend temporarily. Authorities in Lexington, Neb., said during the week the pair was on the run that the teacher and her former student had exchanged romantic e-mail messages. is 5 minutes of your time worth $500 pre-orders earn you: 5% off all books and one of three chances to win $500 off your JBS book purchases. only at Jayhawk Bookstore www.jayhawkbookstore.com UGGS • Short Ultra • Tall Ultra • Tall Classic • Short Classic Available in: Sand, Chestnut, & Chocolate • Genuine Sheep Skin ARENSBERG'S SHOES 825 MASSACHUSETTS in Downtown Lawrence • 843-3470 Check us out online at www.arensbergshoes.com 1895 ASSOCIATED PRESS POLITICS Pat Robertson endorses Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani during a news conference Wednesday in Washington. "Rudy Giuliani took a city that was in decline and considered ungovernable and reduced its violent crime, revitalized its core, dramatically lowered its taxes, cut through a眉ure of bureaucratic regulations, and did so in the spirit of bipartisanship, which is so urgently needed in Washington today," Robertson said. Televangelist endorses Giuliani Christian group supports issues ASSOCIATED PRESS I will try to be as accurate as possible. If there are any differences between the two images, they are due to slight variations in lighting or perspective. WASHINGTON — Televangelist Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition, endorsed Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday. "It is my pleasure to announce my support for America's Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, a proven leader who is not afraid of what lies ahead and who will cast a hopeful vision for all Americans," Robertson said during a news conference with Giuliani in Washington. The former New York mayor backs abortion rights and gay rights, positions that put him in conflict with conservative GOP orthodoxy, and has been trying to persuade evangelical conservatives like Robertson to overlook their differences on those issues. Evangelicals have split in their support for the leading Republican candidates. Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, a favorite of Christian conservatives who dropped out of the race last month, endorsed fellow Sen. John McCain of Arizona on Wednesday. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney recently announced that Paul Weyrich and Bob Jones III were on board with his candidacy. Asked about the Robertson endorsement, McCain, at a news conference with Brownback in Dubuque, Iowa, said. "Every once in a while, I'm left speechless. This is one of those times." Giuliani is best known to voters for leading New York in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Shortly after 9/11, Robertson released a statement in which he said the attacks occurred because Americans had insulted God and lost the protection of heaven by allowing abortion and "rampant Internet pornography." Robertson made no mention of his differences with Giuliani on "Rudy Giuliani took a city that was in decline and considered ungovernable and reduced its violent crime, revitalized its core, dramatically lowered its taxes, cut through a welter of bureaucratic regulations, and did so in the spirit of bipartisan ship which is so urgently needed in Washington today." Robertson said. social issues in Wednesday's statement. Robertson, who unsuccessfully ran for president in 1988, founded the Christian Broadcasting Network, the Christian Coalition and Regent University in Virginia Beach. Also Wednesday, Giuliani said he asked two GOP friends in Congress, Reps. King of New York and Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas, to introduce bills to keep states from giving licenses or similar identification to illegal immigrants. The Democratic front-runner, Hillary Clinton, was criticized after a televised debate last week when she hedged an answer on whether she supported New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's effort to grant licenses to illegal immigrants. Her aides said she generally supported the idea in the absence of comprehensive immigration reform. 6A ENTERTAINMENT THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2007 SUDOKU Sudoku is a number-placement puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8,2007 ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL PAGE 7A Writers Guild strike threatens favorite shows With a compromise seemingly far off, it could be awhile before new episodes of 'Heroes' and 'The Office' appear JESSE BROWN The skies are turning dark. A storm is looming on the horizon. Panic will engulf the streets of America and we will be thrown into a dark age. The Writers Guild of America has officially gone on strike. Why should we care? How is that going to affect our lifestyles? The WGA has gone on strike and who knows why. It could be money, actually. That is probably the main thing, but a lack of communication between the WGA and the Directors Guild of America and the studios has hindered any quick resolution to this crisis. So how does this affect us? Consider that most of the shows we watch could quite possibly be cut into shorter seasons due a lack of writers, which would ruin our appetite for our television addictions. It could be a long winter with no escape from our usual entertainment from life, our beloved television shows. While it's not certain yet whether some shows are going to be cut short, the outlook is bleak. Studios are preparing for the worst and they've begun to take steps to end various shows' seasons with a conclusion, rather than in the middle of an arc. They'd have to wait until next fall to continue it. TEA AND CAKE, OR DEATH "Heroes" has already filmed an extra scene that could cut the season short and "Scrubs," in its final season, is going to lose six episodes to complete the series with a 12-episode seventh season. want to support the strike, they cannot because they are contracted to be actors as well, which could cause unpleasantness. Hopefully this wouldn't ruin the performances. This writer's strike is also going to affect late night television. Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert could all see their show affected by this strike. While they are performers, they have to appreciate the writers of their show so they will certainly support them. If this strike happens to last longer, it may have deeper wounds than ever. Quality in television shows and movies could go right through the floor. The studios will start buying more reality programs, which 90 percent of the time are complete trash. They will start buying scripts from struggling Hollywood writers, which could be good for them and maybe find a few gems in the mix, but big budget movies will certainly suffer. Paramount Pictures Studio have already rushed the writers of the "Transformers" movie to write a sequel, and hopefully that rush won't harm the film as it may harm other films. Also, it is causing a dilemma with producers and writers who participate actively in their respective shows. For example, three of the actors on the popular sitcom "The Office" are writers on the show as well. So while they Let us hope that the strike won't last very much longer, but if it does, it may be a dark age in the entertainment industry. At least, Jayhawk sports are providing entertainment.

Nancy Pelosi's visit highlights Dole Institute's offerings The first female Speaker of the House is one of a diverse group of speakers to visit the political center JORDAN WILLIAMS JORDAN WILLIAMS Two words: Madam Speaker. It is still amazing to me that there are scores of students at this university that don't take advantage of this building on campus that entices this powerful woman. Yes, this wonderful institute is none other than the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. A couple weeks ago, the University of Kansas feted Civic Engagement Week. Sadly, it seems students would rather attend a "National Pull Out Your Teeth Day" than register to vote in Douglas County or attend a function at the Institute. As far as opinion columns go, it is much easier to criticize something rather than to coddle it. However, the Dole Institute does very little that I could critique. Therefore I shall like to coddle it. The Dole Institute is run flawlessly by experienced professionals and students, such as outreach director Barbara Ballard and student outreach director Beka Romm, respectively. The constant networking and connection-pulling is what attracts the likes of former President Bill Clinton, Ann Coulter, former Senator Tom Daschle and the building's namesake, former Senator Bob Dole. Maybe that's why the center is so magnificent. Students work alongside great politicos, members of the media and members of academia. Not to mention that the Institute was one of the first of its kind dedicated in 2001. Few facilities of the same grandeur exist nationwide (once again, KU's innovation shines through). Although the Dole Institute's purpose is to serve and educate the students, the center can't educate what doesn't show up. Digging deeper, current voting statistics have illustrated the fact that young people, particularly students in the 18-25 range, are the most inconsistent in terms of strong voting patterns. In other words, high school and college students are frequently more politically apathetic than, say, a 65-year-old married female Caucasian Evangelical Christian from Ohio. This trend seems contradictory considering all the work that goes into engaging the youth and ensuring college students have all the opportunities in the world to learn more about the government, the press and politics. Yet, for some reason, the students at KU and across the country continue to perceive politics as divisive, largely unimportant or intrinsically evil. I do surmise that some KU students conceive of politics as uncool or for much older, educated people. pect to see and hear a message from the Dole Institute that appears very attractive to minorities, women, liberals, conservatives, the young and the well-aged. Bias and monotony are definitely antonomy to the Robert J. Dole Institute. The Dole Institute combats that negative imagery well by inviting men and women who exemplify the idea of politics and government being honorable and extremely worthwhile. Furthermore, the center offers diehard lovers of politics multiple flavors from the political spectrum. At any given time during an academic year, students can ex- Notwithstanding the fact that the Institute offers education, but there's interaction too. Just last spring semester, I was able to shake hands with the man to whom President Bush gave the thumbs-up immediately proceeding the disaster of Hurricane Katrina. His name is Michael Brown. Imagine being able to throw questions at a very controversial figure, but what place offers that chance? Look no further than the Dole Institute. I just can't help but reiterate how many fantastic opportunities there are at the Dole Center. As for me, I know what I'll be doing the morning of Friday, Nov. 9, and that's listening bright eyed and bushy tailed to the first female Speaker of the House.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR MAX RINKF Game day and rivalry shirts should reflect the positive spirit of KU The University of Kansas deserves more than a catchy "slogan 'show tune'" or, "Which Joe College shirt do I like best?" KU fans want to establish a tradition that will make students and alumni proud; they expect and demand more than a put-down slapped on the front of what should be a prestigious game day shirt. Consider the list of other fan bases from around the nation. These groups and the slogans that embody them represent more than simply the phrase on the shirt; it is the glue that bonds the students together. We would be doing a disservice to our school if we allowed a Joe College-esque shirt that cuts and pastes the Kansas lajhawk among universally used T-shirt phrases. Our school deserves a design that speaks volumes about the tradition of our proud school and donned in a manner as unique as the banner that hangs from the Fieldhouse. I challenge all of you to look at the magnitude by which other "game day T-shirt" organizations around the nation support their schools and their athletes. The best example comes directly from Bill Self's past at Illinois. There the students willingly raise money for the community to earn the right to wear a shirt. This school has the fan base and program to surpass all of these schools. My proposal is so that this game day shirt will grow to be as significant as these schools': "The Phog," and on the back of the shirt, "Beware." Simple but uniquely Kansas. A concept of a Blue Phog that will cover and unite our campus. It recognizes Phog Allen, who did much more for Kansas Athletics than just coach basketball. Whatever the design, we need a concept that can be recognized and feared nationally. It is in this one area alone that our school trails many others and we need more than Joe College to take the lead. As the name implies, "The Phog" would consume opponents and spread to rival some of college sports' greatest traditions. Paul Garcia Overland Park senior TALK TO US Erick R.

University of Kansas students and Lawrence music stores took a blast to the past last week with new releases from '90s pop icons Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. While some were skeptical of the artists' attempts to make new music, fans rushed to stores to buy Spears' latest offering. According to Billboard, "Blackout" debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, with 290,000 copies sold, while the Backstreet Boys' "Unbreakable" debuted at No. 7 with 81,000 sold. Both albums were released Oct. 30. Dustin Mitchell, entertainment specialist at Target, 3201 St. St. said Spears' album was selling well to his surprise. "Fans like me will be on top of buying the new album, I think to more or less see how their music has changed." "She's been the biggest seller this week by far. We've sold at least 20 copies," Mitchell said. He said Target didn't expected big sales for the album and considered it a second priority and placed it on a shelf in the back of the music section, away from the new releases. HTCLUB VEGA S V Kuttler, El Dorado senior and Britney Spears fan, said he had already purchased three copies of the album since its release date at Target and on iTunes. "Itunes had a pretty hot remix of 'Gimme More' in the bonus tracks that I had to have," Kuttler said. Kuttler, who had seen Britnley live nine times and met her three times, said Spears was a sweetheart and that her new album was some of her best work to date. Club. Billboard has never included albums sold exclusively at certain stores in its history. Amanda Burgen, Lawrence freshman, has been a fan of the group for the past nine years and said although she hadn't purchased the new disc yet, she would in the near future. She said loyal fans would buy anything the group put out. Some controversy over the charts arose Tuesday night, after Billboard announced that they would include the Eagles' latest album, which was sold only at Wal-Mart and Sam's. Not too far behind Spears and continuing the late '90s trend, the Backstreet Boys' new album "Unbreakable" marks the first time the group released an album with four members. The fifth member, Kevin Richardson, left the group in 2006 for personal reasons. "Fans like me will be ASSOCIATED PRESS Britney Spears released her new album Oct. 30. According to Billboard, "Blackout" debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 290,000 copies sold. The Backstreet Boys also released an album on the same day, "Unbreakable" debuted at No. 7 with 81,000 copies sold. Spears and the Backstreet Boy's album sales success interested and surprised fans, especially Spears, whose personal life has been under scrutiny in the past year. AMANDA BURGEN Lawrence freshman will be on top of buying the new album, I think, to more or less see how their music has changed." she said. Jessica Hylander, Lawrence sophomore, said the group's success led to their evolved sound. "Their music has changed a lot over the years," she said. "They have more of a rock edge to their music now compared to when they first came out." While the Backstreet Boys' high debut was expected by most media outlets, most were surprised by Britney Spears' success. Spears' personal life has put the pop princess under scrutiny in the past year. Kuttler said he was glad Spears' personal life was looked at differently than her music. "Britney has such a hardcore fan base, it's almost like a cult following. She's done absolutely nothing to promote this new CD but it still will be incredibly successful," he said. "It's Britney the product versus Britney the real person. Everyone is rooting for her, even people who hated her before. I want her to get it together. She's truly an incredible performer and entertainer." Edited by Meghan Murphy person was killed and six were wounded, officials said. Bush, Sarkozy encourage Iran's destruction of nuclear weapons ASSOCIATED PRESS NATION Photographers for The Associated Press saw at least two gunmen — one wearing a ski mask and another covering his face with a T-shirt — firing handguns at the anti-Chavez crowd. Terrified students ran through the campus as ambulances arrived. Bush said agreement on Iran was a hallmark of their talks at the Virginia home of George Washington. He said they expressed "the desire to work jointly to convince the Iranian regime to give up their nuclear weapons ambitions for the sake of peace." National Guard troops gathered outside the campus, Venezuela's largest and a center for opposition to Chavez's government. Venezuelan law bars state security forces from entering the campus, but Luis Acuna, the minister of higher education, said they could be called in if the university requests them. "It is unacceptable for Iran at any point to have a nuclear weapon," Sarkozy said. MOUNT VERNON, Va. — President Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy stood shoulder-to-shoulder against a nuclear-armed Iran on Wednesday, demonstrating the cozier relationship between the two countries under France's new conservative leader. VENEZUELA NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma. It pays to save a life. Although some suspect Bush of leading a march toward war to stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, the U.S. president said the diplomatic course is his preferred choice. "The idea of Iran having a nuclear weapon is dangerous, and therefore now is the time for us to work together to diplomatically solve this problem," Bush said. Sarkozy emphasized that Iran should be allowed to have civilian nuclear power, which Tehran argued is the sole aim of its nuclear program. "Iran is entitled to the energy of the future which is nuclear energy," he said. Bush has welcomed foreign leaders to several locales to which he has personal ties — his ranch in Texas, the White House and the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md. But hosting meetings at a neutral site — especially one with such significance to the American story — became additional evidence that the on-again, off-again U.S.-French relationship is reaching new heights with Sarkozy's ascension to office in Paris. The second day of the Bush- Sarkozy meetings was unique. Antonio Rivero, director of Venezuela's Civil Defense agency, told the local Globovision television channel that one student was killed and at least two were injured by gunfire. He said four other students suffered other injuries.

Fresh off of two closely contested losses, Kansas looked to be turning its season in the right direction in the first half of the game on Oct. 13, 2006. Kerry Meier connected with tight end Derek Fine and wide receiver Marcus Herford for two early touchdowns, and the jayhawk defense forced three first-half turnovers and allowed no points heading into halftime. When the teams took the field for the third quarter, things got ugly for Kansas. "What happened last year is a mystery for us as coaches," Kansas defensive coordinator, Bill Young, said. "The plays that we stopped in the first half they ran the exact same plays in the second half and got touchdowns out of them. They made a great catch, a great run, we misplaced the ball, we weren't in the right spot — things that you can't explain." The Cowboys' inexplicable second-half success looked even more unbelievable in the box score. After a mistake-prone first half, Oklahoma State gained 397 total yards in the second half, relying on 6-foot-4. 220-pound wide receiver Adarius Bowman and quick quarterback Bobby Reid to do most of the damage. Bowman made a mockery of the Kansas secondary, gaining 300 receiving yards on 13 catches and Reid complemented his 411 passing yards with 46 rushing yards and a 2006 game in review Oklahoma State 42, Kansas 32 Oklahoma State 42, Kansas 32 KU jumped to a 17-0 lead OSU scored all 42 points in the second half OSU had 603 yards of total offense Adarius Bowman, OSU receiver, had 300 receiving yards on only 13 receptions touchdown scamper that cut the Kansas lead to 17-14 in the third quarter. By that point, the floodgates had been opened and the Cowboy offense was pouring out. Oklahoma State added three touchdowns in the fourth quarter and held onto a 10-point lead as time expired. But the aerial antics of Bowman and Reid were not the sole contributors to the Javhawks' defensive breakdown. Young said that the team did not put enough pressure on the quarterback in the second half, which opened up Oklahoma State's offensive options. Sophomore safety Derek Stuckey said that the Kansas players have watched the tape of last year's debacle, and have taken care to correct some of the mistakes they made against Oklahoma State. "It's frustrating to see how close we were to being better or making some greater plays," Stuckey said. "It's not painful because you can see where the mistakes were made and you can see how easy it is to fix."

Mangino made watch lists for the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award and the George Munger Award, which are given to the top coaches in the nation at the end of the regular season.

STARTING OFFENSIVE LINEMAN WILL RETURN Junior left tackle Anthony Collins has his sights set on an NFL career, but not before playing his senior season, he said Wednesday, Collins, a 6-foot-5, 310-pound preseason All-Big 12 selection, has the ideal size and speed to thrive in the NFL, but said he would wait one more season before entering the draft. PUNT RETURNER NEEDS BLOCKS Sophomore wide receiver Anthony Webb hasn't posted eye-popping numbers in his first few games as a punt returner, just 2. 3 yards per return and a long return of 15 yards. The team as a whole was focusing on improving their results on returns. "The lack of having good returns at this point in time is not completely his fault," Mangino said. "We've got to do a better job of staying on our blocks. There's situations where we're letting one guy free but that one guy can make the tackle." —Asher Fusco Oklahoma State receiver to pose challenge for Jayhawks 12 COWBOYS 7 0 40 BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Oklahoma State senior wide receiver Adarius Bowman struggles past Kansas defense in last year's game at Memorial Stadium. Bowman scored four touchdowns in the second half of the game. KANSAN FILE PHOTO If there's anything Oklahoma State senior wide receiver Adarius Bowman can't do on a football field, it hasn't been discovered yet. At 6-foot-4, 220-pound Bowman can use his size to catch passes in the middle of the field, his speed to blow by defenders on the edges or his athleticism to evade potential tacklers. Bowman, who caught four touchdown passes and had 300 receiving yards against Kansas last year, is as close to unstoppable as it gets. There's no typo there. When asked about his star receiver, Gundy rattled off blocking statistics, showing how versatile Bowman really is. "Adarius has been a good football player for us the last couple of years, whether he's catching the ball or doesn't have the ball in his hands," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "He's a really good blocker for us; he averages about six knockdowns per game." Bowman was even versatile enough to walk on to the Oklahoma State basketball team after the football season last year. And SEE BOWMAN ON PAGE 4B COMMENTARY Talib to step up against Cowboys BY BRYAN WHEELER This week, junior cornerback Aqib Talib was named one this week, junior cornerback Aqib Talib was named one of 12 semifinalists for the Jim Thorpe Award. On Nov. 19, the field of semifinalists will be narrowed down to three finalists. Talib is also considered a top NFL cornerback prospect if he were to enter the draft early after the season. 6 With this in mind, it is time for Talib to step and perform against a top receiver. While Talib has had several exciting plays this season, he has let a couple top receivers score big against Kansas. The first receiver Talib let by him was Kansas State senior Jordy Nelson. In the Sunflower Showdown in Manhattan earlier this season, Nelson came up big with a 68-yard touchdown reception. This Saturday's match up against Oklahoma State may be the most hyped game in Kansas' football history. The game will air during prime time at 7 p.m. on ABC, and the entire country will be watching the Jayhawks run for the National Championship. Last weekend, Nebraska senior Maurice Purify had a career game against Kansas with 148 yards, 7 receptions and three touchdowns. Two of those touchdowns came against Talib. Not to pick on Talib here, but he is supposed to be the best cornerback in college football this season. Many people around the country, especially Kansas fans, have been wondering when the wheels would come off this season and the Jayhawks would lose. With the OSU offense ranked No. 8 in the NCAA and No. 3 in the Big 12, Oklahoma State will be Kansas' biggest offensive test of the season. Last year Kansas came up short with a 43-32 loss to Oklahoma State. Their biggest threat this year will be senior wide receiver Adarius Bowman. Through nine games this season, Bowman has 912 yards receiving, 57 receptions and 7 touchdowns. At this week's press conference, Mangino inferred Kansas would try and put Bowman's performance behind them, but recognized he is not a player to be taken lightly. Last season, Bowman had a career game with a Big 12 record of 300 yards receiving, 13 receptions and 4 touchdowns. In the postgame press conference, coach Mark Mangino said, "he gets my vote for the Heisman." That's right, folks, Kansas is in the running for the National Championship. With the No. 4 ranking in the BCS, the stage is set for Kansas, and now everyone is watching. Putting things into perspective, the question must be asked: Is Aqib Talib ready for prime time? (8) "Adarius had a great day on us last year, but that was last year," Mangino said. "We have great respect for him. He is one of the most talented receivers in the league. He's big and strong, but he's also fast. He has great athleticism and great change of direction. He is very, very talented." Saturday will be the biggest game of Talib's career thus far. Shutting down Bowman this weekend will be key if Talib is to be a serious contender for the Jim Thorpe Award. His performance could also be an indicator of whether his NFL draft stock will rise or fall. With the whole nation watching Saturday night, I ask once again: Is Aqib Talib ready for prime time?

MIZZOU BASKETBALL MIZZOU BASKETBALL Anderson compiles starting lineup Anderson compiles starting lineup It's less than a week before Missouri begins its regular season, and coach Mike Anderson is still trying to figure out his starting lineup. The Tigers open regular-season play Monday at home against Central Michigan. Their last exhibition tuneup is Thursday night at home against Missouri Western. Marshall Brown and Matt Lawrence started 29 and 30 games, respectively, last season, and Leo Lyons has improved steadily since Anderson's arrival. Missouri also has DaMarre Carroll, who sat out all of last year after transferring from Vanderbilt. "We're going to have five, six or seven starters, I've always said that," Missouri's second-year coach, coming off an 18-12 debut season, said. The Tigers seem set at guard with Stephon Hannah, last season's Big 12 newcomer of the year, and sophomore Keon Lawrence. The forward position is more muddled. "But we'll put some combinations out there, and we'll see how they respond." "I think each guy brings different things to the table," Anderson said. Carroll said he and Lyons provided a rebounding presence, an area of emphasis for Anderson after Missouri finished 10th in the Big 12 in 2006-07. "The thing I'm looking for is the guy that will go out there, play defense, play hard, leave it on the floor and play aggressive."

He now leads the Canadian Football League's Calgary Stampeders in special teams tackles. 58 49 20 35 Josh Kirk/KANSAN BY B.J. RAINS editor@kansan.com Living more than 1,600 miles and two time zones away in western Canada, it's hard for former University of Kansas running back Jon Cornish to watch his college team's games on TV. But that doesn't mean he's not following them. "I get live updates on my cell phone." Cornish said. "I'm always paying attention and rooting for them." Cornish, who set the school's single-season rushing record with 1.457 yards during his senior year in 2006, stays in contact with former teammates such as running back Brandon McAnderson. The Jayhawks' 9-0 start this season hasn't shocked him at all. "I knew what was about to happen; it was just a surprise to everyone else," Cornish said. "I knew about Reeing and what he could do because he was doing it all of last year on the scout team until he started playing, and I knew that Brandon McAnderson was a fantastic running back. If you have a strong passing offense, it opens up the running game, and that's what we've been doing." As Cornish talked about Kansas football, the word "we" continued to pop up in his answers. When asked why he used the word despite not being on the team, Cornish explained his love for the school and for Lawrence. "I am a Kansas alumnus," Cornish said. "If you graduate from Kansas, youre always going to be a Jayhawk. I will follow them as long as I live, and I hope to make it back to Lawrence at some point and maybe work there. Kansas will always be a part of me." When NFL teams overlooked him in this year's draft, Cornish signed a two-year deal with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. Cornish leads the team in special teams tackles as the Stampeders near their first-round playoff match up on Sunday against Saskatchewan. Kansas' success this season may not astonish him, but being second on Calgary's depth chart certainly does. "For whatever reason, I am the second-string running back," Cornish said. "Everybody has been expecting me to see the field a lot up here, and I haven't, which has been just as much of a surprise to me." The CFL has a few significantly different rules from those in college and professional football in America, most noticeably the five-yard halo that punt returns receive when catching the ball, and the three downs, instead of four, that the offense has to get a first down. "There's enough changes that it makes the game a little bit more exciting," Cornish said. "The game is really opened up a lot more, and I think it's more fun for the people that get to play it. The three downs really makes special teams a huge part of the game" Cornish plans to play out his contract before trying to earn a spot on a NFL roster in 2009. But for now, he's rooting for his former teammates and friends. "I think we will win on Saturday because Oklahoma State puts up a lot of offensive numbers, but their defense is weak." Cornish said. "Same with Missouri in a few weeks. They will be a hard team to beat, but with our offense playing as well as it is, I think we can win a shoot-out with them. I just think we are going to play well enough to end up playing in a BCS bowl. I will be rooting for them the entire way." Edited by Chris Beattie Kansas' maturity, hunger causes greater intensity for early season games BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Darrell Arthur walked off the Allen Fieldhouse floor after a loss to Oral Roberts last November with a bad feeling in his stomach. Kansas, the No. 3 team in the country, had just lost to a team from the Mid-Continent Conference. Too bad his pain would only get worse as soon as he heard Kansas coach Bill Self's message in the locker room. "He told us practice was going to be real tough after that," Arthur, sophomore forward, said. "He didn't up let until the Florida game so we had some intense practices." The players shouldn't need the extra intensity this year. Self said this team is "hungrier" than it was last year, as it gets ready to take on lower level teams such as Louisiana- Monroe, Washburn University and UMKC in the early part of its schedule. Last season, the hunger wasn't there. Oral Roberts wasn't the only team that gave Kansas prob- BASKETBALL Self said the maturity of this year's team resulted in more motivation. The five seniors all said they "I didn't think last year's team played as hungry early in the season in large part because that team was young." "Last year, I think when we saw teams like Oral Roberts and DePaul we were like,'Man, who do we play next?' Stewart said. "I'm not saying it was because we aren't seniors, but we really didn't have the sense to know this is just like any other team you play." BILL SELF Kansas coach The players didn't always do that last year. Games against Florida and Boston College brought out the best in the Jayhawks, but match-ups against Detroit and Winston Salem State didn't. Senior guard Rodrick Stewart said the team sleepwalked through several games. wanted to leave Kansas doing something special. They don't want to mess around like last year's team did. lems. Ball State hung around for most of the game in late November before the jayhawks pulled away at the end. DePaul upset Kansas after trailing by double digits in the second half. The seniors aren't the only mature ones, either. Junior guards Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush now have two years of experience. Arthur and sophomore guard Sherron Collins know what it's like to play college basketball at a high level for a full season. it was the NCAA loss. Maybe it should have been more motivation, but let's be honest, it is motivation. But after a point in time, you have to motivate yourself." "I didn't think last year's team played as hungry early in the season in large part because that team was young," Self said. "I don't think They also know how sweet it tastes to be on the brink of a Final Four and want to return. Self said the tournament run encouraged Self doesn't want to dwell on the Oral Roberts loss for the next few weeks. He said he might mention Marchello Yealy, the guard who made seven three-pointers in the upset last year, but he said that's all he'll bring up. "You have to be a self-starter," he said. "I didn't think last year our team as a group was that. I think this year, we're better in that area. Maybe it's UCLA, maybe it's five seniors in a last go-around, maybe it's just we're maturing as a group. Who knows what it is, but it's probably a combination of all those things."

We have to play every game like it's your Texas' and UCLAS, and if we do that, I feel like we won't lose a game." I can’t miss class because my grades matter to me.

Kansas is having its best season in a century. Who cares about basketball, right? Well, good news. This college basketball season should be just as exciting as the current race for the BCS title game, Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Tauren Green and Corey Brewer are gone, and not a second too soon for every non-Florida college basketball fan. With Florida's reign at the top finished, youth could be the key this year. Memphis' Derrick Rose, UCLA's Kevin Love, Duke's Kyle Singler and Indiana's Eric Gordon are all freshmen who could lead their team to the top. Kansas State's Michael Beasley and Kentucky's Patrick Patterson will be excellent, too. The national title should be up for grabs just like in football. North Carolina, UCLA and Memphis are early favorites but so were USC, Florida and LSU in football. Anything could happen. 50 AVOLINA THE TOP 10 TEAMS (AND A 10-WORD DESCRIPTION FOR EACH) 1. Memphis — Freshman Derrick Rose makes this Elite Eight team the favorite. 2. Kansas — Three little guards will keep Kansas good until Rush returns. 3. UCLA — Jordan Farmar's early departure didn't matter; neither will Arron Afalalo's. ly criticize David Padgett? 5. North Carolina — Last team not named Florida to win a national title. 4. Louisville — Why did Kansas students have to constant- 6. Duke — Sorry all Blue Devil haters. Last year was a fluke. 7. Georgetown — Hoyas would be No. 1 if Jeff Green was back. 8. Indiana — I'd hate to see coach Kelvin Sampson's cell phone bill. 9. Arizona — The Wildcats will return to prominence after two bad years. 10. Marquette — Eagles have three guards better than Kansas' three little guards.

Josh Carter, Texas A&M— This smooth shooter will be the Aggies' new go-to-guy. He's very similar to Brandon Rush. Stephen Curry, Davidson— Well, he can't really break out in terms of achievements because he already led the Southern Conference in scoring. But this year, he'll actually get national Darrell Arthur, Kansas — If Arthur demands the ball enough in the post, there's no reason he won't average 18 points per game. attention. Scottie Reynolds, Villanova — Bet you didn't know he had the highest-scoring game of any freshman last year, including Kevin Durant, Reynolds scored 40 against Connecticut. TEXAS A&M 23 ALL ERIC CHENOWITH TEAM (MOST OVERRATED PLAYERS) Roy Hibbert, Georgetown — Too much of a stiff to be dominant. He definitely doesn't have a future in the NBA. Greg Paulus, Duke — Paulus turns the ball over way too much. He needs to fix that problem to make the Blue Devils a Final Four contender. Richard Roby, Colorado— Shouldn't he have left for the NBA and not been selected two years ago? OJ, Mayo, USC — The kid had his own Web site as a seventh grader. He's the Paris Hilton of college basketball; way over-hyped with minimal skill. Bobby Frasor, North Carolina—Frasor's not a bad player, but he was a McDonald's All-American in 2005. Based on his high school credentials, he's underachieved. A.J. Price, Connecticut — Sure, it was two years ago but this one is too good. Police arrested and charged Price with larceny for stealing computers from women's ALL O.J. SIMPSON TEAM (GUYS WHO HAVE RUN AFOUL OF THE LAW) XAVIER 24 basketball players' dorm rooms. Josh Heytvelt, Gonzaga — Police caught him with "psychedelic mushrooms" last spring.

KENTUCKY 54 KENTUCKY 54 NFL Suspension to keep 'Pacman'out of playoffs BY TERESA M. WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS Jones had met with the commissioner last week in New York, pleading for some leniency and an early return. But the cornerback, whose biggest community service was buying wrestling tickets for Atlanta students to watch him at a pay-per-view event last month, didn't convince Goodell. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones in April to sit out the 2007 season. On Tuesday, the commissioner informed Jones he still hasn't changed his mind. The commissioner told Jones his suspension will last through this season, which would include the playoffs, if the Titans (6-2) qualify. Attorney Wortrick Robinson said Jones received a letter from the NFL notifying him of the commissioner's decision earlier Tuesday. They planned to talk further Tuesday night and a formal statement may follow Wednesday. Goodell had promised Jones' case would be reviewed after Tennessee's 10th game of the season. He met with Jones last Friday — two days before the Titans' eighth game. But the Titans, who have replaced their best defensive player, had been expecting the suspension to stand. The suspension followed a Las Vegas strip club fight Feb. 19 in which police accused Jones of inciting a fight inside that led to a triple shooting outside that left one man paralyzed. Jones was arrested on two fety counts of coercion in June after dropping an appeal of his NFL punishment. Jones said in interviews since his suspension that he felt he was being treated unfairly and that the punishment was harsh. To keep himself busy, he signed a contract with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. But the Titans got an injunction that limited his physical contact to prevent any injuries. Jones' contract ended recently with TNA, and the Nashville-based company did not renew the deal. BOWMAN (CONTINUED FROM 1B) now, just six months later, he's back on the gridiron and making more heads turn. Texas coach Mack Brown took notice last week, when Bowman gained 108 yards and caught one touchdown pass against his team. "Bowman was blocking our linebackers. He's tough, he's fast, I bet he's 230 pounds. He's just an amazing player." Brown said. "He has to be as good as any receiver in the country." Bowman currently ranks tenth in the nation for receiving, with 101 yards per game. His total against the Jayhawks last year was nearly triple his current average. Adarius Bowman 2007 season (through nine gam. as) at a glance 57 receptions 910 receiving yards 16 yards per reception 7 touchdowns for him. "The main thing is to try to keep him from getting the ball." Kansas junior linebacker James Holt said. "We know that he's going to make plays but it comes down to how we are going to bounce back after he makes a play." The Kansas pass defense has plenty of experience patching up errors on the fly. Last week, the Jayhawks allowed 266 first-half passing yards to Nebraska before buckling down and intercepting four passes in the second half. Kansas coaches said He scored all four of his touchdowns in the second half of the game at Memorial Stadium. Kansas defensive coordinator Bill Young said the Cowboys kept running the same plays because the Jayhawks couldn't stop them. Sophomore safety Darrell Stuckey said the Kansas secondary wouldn't make the same mistakes as last year and that they were ready for the Adarius Bowman challenge. "A lot of it was our lack of assignments and getting to where we needed to be," Stuckey said. "It was a lack of our knowledge of the game as a whole. It's a knowledge we have now. We have a whole new demeanor now. We are a different team. We can look back at that and learn from it." Kansas failed to bounce back when Bowman struck last season. Edited by Rachel Bock halftime adjustments implemented by the coaching staff and put into action by the players spurred the quick turnaround. The success of the 2007 Kansas defense has made at least one Jayhawks' memory of 2006 a bit fogger. "We're not measuring ourselves by last year," coach Mark Mangino said. "That's history and we've learned from that. We got over that in January and we've been looking at 2007 the whole time." FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Betting lines are a perception, and the perception of the Dallas Cowboys is very good these days. That's obvious from the fact that they are 1-point favorites at the Meadowlands on Sunday against the Giants, NFL Cowboys enjoy success named 1-point favorite Edited by Meghan Murphy who have won six in a row and are a game behind them in the NFC East. It's probably justified against a team whose last five victories have been over opponents with a current combined of 13-36 record. On the other hand, past New York teams have often failed to win games against teams they're supposed to beat. This will probably have little resemblance to the first meeting on the first Sunday night of the season. Dallas won that game 45-35, then the Giants went on to allow 35 points in a loss to Green Bay the next week. In the six wins since, they've allowed 79 points, or one point less than in the first two.

Kansas was shut out by Oklahoma State, 3-0. The Cowgirls scored their three goals within the first twenty minutes of play, and each of the goals were only minutes apart. Kansas' final record for the season is 7-10-4 overall and 5-3-3 in conference play.

The USOC contacted the International Olympic Committee about the issue in response to a story posted on the Catholic News Agency Web site citing a list of prohibited items that was reported to include Bibles.

Longhorns sweep Hawks 3-0 BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Kansas might have nightmares about this Texas volleyball team. No. 3 Texas, winners of 14 straight matches, swept Kansas 3-0 (30-20, 30-19, 30-18) Wednesday night at the Horesi Family Athletics Center. The Longhorns outplayed the Jayhawks in every facet of the match, and put on a performance worthy of its No. 3 ranking. Sophomore All-American Destinee Hooker led a sizzling Texas offense with 13 kills, and Texas dominated the net, outblocking Kansas 26 to four. "They're as physical as any group you are going to see," senior setter Emily Brown, who finished with 11 kills and 17 assists, said.

The Longhorns have slowly crept into the national title picture, and they made sure to keep Kansas at a secure distance the entire match. Kansas was coming off its best victory of the season, a 3-2 win against No. 18 Oklahoma, but Bechard said there was no way his team had a leadown. "We just knew we were up against a very hot opponent and we didn't do the things we needed to do to get the results," Bechard said.

Rodriguez opted out his $252 million, 10-year contract with the Yankees on Oct. 28, 2017, in what appears to be the end of his career with New York. Teams compete to sign A-Rod BY RONALD BLUM ASSOCIATED PRESS ORLANDO. Fla. — The Los Angeles Angels are baseball's exception: They openly admit they'd love to sign Alex Rodriguez. The Angels had a meet-and-greet with A-Rod's agent, Scott Boras, at the general managers' meetings. The New York Mets also spoke with Boras but won't say whether they're in or out of the competition. Tony Reagins, who just took over as the Angels' GM, had glowing words for A-Rod. "He probably makes any team that he's a part of better," he said Wednesday. Reagins said if talks progressed, the Angels would welcome a chance to speak with Rodriguez. While the Mets have the cash to sign Rodriguez, they haven't committed to making an offer. Likely to win his third AL MVP award, Rodriguez is expected to sign a deal topping the record $252 million, 10-year contract the Texas Rangers gave him before the 2001 season. Before A-Rod opted out of that agreement, Boras told the New York Yankees they had to offer $350 million just to get a meeting with the third baseman. Other possible destinations are thought to include the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers. All the teams say that they're not interested at this point. Other big names in the news on the next-to-last day of the four-day gathering included Miguel Cabrera, Roger Clemens, Tom Glavine and Kenny Rogers. The final day of the annual meetings, GMs were to discuss whether first- and third-base coaches should wear helmets. Mike Coolbaugh, a first-base coach for the Colorado Rockies' minor league team in Tulsa, was killed in July when he was struck on the head by a line drive during a game. On Tuesday, each general manager stood up during their meeting and stated what their offseason goals were. Many mentioned specific players they were making available. The idea was suggested by Boston's Theo Epstein and Floridia Larry Beinfest, co-chairs of this year's meeting. "Usually it takes a while to be able to reach all 29 other teams and hear what they're trying to do. This increased our efficiency tremendously. It saves us all a lot of time," Epstein said. "Some teams were specific. Some were more guarded." Cabrera is the first big name being dangled. He'll make more than $10 million next season, too expensive for the Marlins to retain. Having lost A-Rod, the Yankees need a third baseman and team executive Hank Steinbrenner was clear on what New York won't do. "It's pretty obvious which players we're not going to trade," he said, before rattling off the team's most-prized young pitchers. "Chamberlain, Hughes and even Kennedy. Not for a position player." For now, when other teams inquire, Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy aren't available. Hughes, just 21, showed poise and overpowering pitches, even while slowed by hamstring and ankle injuries that sidelined him for much of the season. Chamberlain, 22, was instant electricity and on many nights unhittable as Mariano Rivera's setup man down the stretch. Kennedy, who turns 23 next month, was polished and resembled a young Mike Mussina in three September starts. "I know that all three of those guys, the 29 other clubs would have no problems pitching at least one of them if not all of them in their rotations," general manager Brian Cashman said. Atlanta said it would like to bring back Tom Glavine after a five-year absence. Glavine, a left-hander who turns 42 in March, spent his first 16 major league seasons with Atlanta, then pitched for the New York Mets for five years. He lives in suburban Atlanta and was hoping to get an offer from the Braves after the 2006 season. Atlanta never made an offer, and he agreed Dec. 1 to re-sign with the Mets. "Kenny will pitch in 2008, and we are currently in negotiations with the Tigers," Boras said. Rogers, a left-hander who turns 43 on Saturday, wants to return to Detroit for a third season. Clemens, who is 45, is ready to join the Houston Astros — as a consultant. In a sign Clemens' pitching career could be over, his agent sent an e-mail to Drayton McLane owner the owner the seven-time Cy Young Award winner is set to start his personal-services contract with the team on Jan. 1.

"What I just told you is what I've been told. And that's all I care to know about, to be quite honest. What you have to understand is when you're a football coach, here's A report on My Fox Colorado out of Denver quoted an unnamed source within the Chiefs organization as saying the two-time Pro Bowl running back broke his right foot in the loss on Sunday to Green Bay and would not play again this year. "They're still trying to look at it to find out exactly where he's at. I do know this — it's very doubtful in my mind that he's going to play this week. That's what I know. Don't shoot the messenger." "All I know is this is what I've been told. What I've been told not by that reporter but from our doctors is that his foot is still swollen," a feisty, defensive Edwards told reporters after practice. The Chiefs, who play the Denver Broncos this Sunday, have said only that it's a mid-foot sprain and he will not play this week. what you want to know on Monday, or on Sunday — is a player going to be available to play on Sunday? Doctor says maybe, questionable, doubtful. Once they tell me they don't think he's going to be able to play, fine. I move on. That's all I've got to do. I don't have to worry about next week. I can't control next week. I've got to concentrate on this week." The Chiefs (4-4) will use 34-year-old Priest Holmes and untested rookie Kolby Smith to replace Johnson, who signed a six year, $45 million contract after holding out the entire training camp. Johnson rushed for more than 1,750 yards each of the past two seasons and has scored Kansas City's last 36 touchdowns on the ground. But he was off to a slow start and had only 559 yards on 158 carries when he was injured late in the fourth quarter against the Packers. Ironically, he got his chance to come off the bench and start when Holmes, a three-time Pro Bowler, went down in October 2005 with a spinal injury. Now Holmes will have an opportunity to resurrect his career while Johnson nurses an injury that could keep him out much longer than one week. Or will it? Edwards insisted he does not know. "If they tell me something, when I get the message this is what it is, I'll be the first to tell you," he said. "I have nothing to hide." In his heyday, Holmes was one NFL Brees was referring to the fact that he kept his own drinking to a minimum at the wine tasting, given his responsibilities on the football field these days. METAIRE, La. — Is it any coincidence that the Saints would thrive on a vintage Drew Brees performance only days before the launch of his new wine? Yet he could have been talking about his form on the field, coming off a game in which he NFL Brees returning to form in time for wine release "I'm in season," Brees said with a grin, when asked about the launch of "Vintage Brees Chardonnay" this week at one of celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse's restaurants in New Orleans. of the finest backs in the league. He still holds the Chiefs' career rushing record. "I'm prepared, Holmes said. "Most of all, I'm having fun. I think the two years off gave me a chance to grow personally. I've learned a lot, experienced a lot. I'm just excited. I think the element I bring to the team is one that's going to keep you guessing." Edwards has said he will not be the featured back, but Holmes said he's ready for 25 to 30 carries if that is what is needed. "We try to look at each game and plan the best way we feel like is going to give us a chance to score points and move the ball," Payton said. "Each week, the plan can vary some based on the opponent." So confident was head coach Sean Payton in Brees' ability to deliver an assortment of throws around the field, he called 49 passing plays and 25 running plays against the Jaquars.

The senior forward and team captain pulled down a game high 11 rebounds in the Jayhawks first game but shot only one-for-eight from the field. Her rebounds will be an important part of the game plan, Her shooting performance was abnormally poor, and she'll be eager to get out and prove it was a fluke. In the first game, McIntosh and her fellow post players missed more layups than they made, something that can't happen again. QUESTION MARK On paper, an exhibition loss means nothing. For a team's psyche, however, it means everything. Kansas can't afford to lose this game because of the repercussions it could have when the regular season gets underway. Playing smart defense and finishing shots are the two most important things for coach Bonnie Henrickson's players Thursday night. Without both of them, they could have a loss before ever really playing a game. HIGH-SCORING HORNETS VISIT COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY Kansas frontcourt must recover from shooting struggles KANSAS VS. EMPORIA STATE,7 p.m. today. Allen Fieldhouse Kansas OFFENSE Kansas had more than its fair share of problems offensively before pulling away for an 82-48 exhibition victory against Pittsburg State. The Jayhawks shot a pedestrian 30 percent in the first half, which included a plethora of missed layups. Sophomore guards Danielle McCray and Sade Morris scored a combined 35 points in Sunday's win, coming mostly from 10- to 15-foot jump shots. The Jayhawks' forwards were a combined 7-for-26 in their first game. Look for senior Taylor McIntosh and freshman Krysten Boogaard to come out with something to prove after disappointing premieres. ★★★☆☆ — Taylor Bern Emporia State DEFENSE Against Pittsburg State, Jayhawk guards showed a vulnerability to dribble penetration, something they'll need to take care of before the regular season. Pittsburg State guard DePrice Taylor breezed right past defenders for 13 points, and Kansas will see plenty more quick guards like her before too long. Also, the Gorillas threw up 18 three-pointers in the loss. They made only three, but the Jayhawks can't allow that many three-point attempts. The Jayhawks did a good job limiting Pittsburgh State's trips to the free-throw line, but they need to expand the quick feet used for that kind of defense out to the perimeter. OFFENSE ★★★☆★ Emporia State was 10th in NCAA Division II in scoring offense last season when it put up almost 78 points per game. It was also one of the best shooting teams in the nation, ranking among the top 20 in field goal percentage, free throw percentage and three-point percentage. The Hornets will begin 2007 ranked third in Division II, and they return 6-foot-2 senior forward Michelle Stueve, last year's Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association leading scorer and a two-time All-American. Despite losing the team's assist leader, guard Tegan Stuart, and adding eight new faces, the Taylor McIntosh KANSAS 13 Hornets shouldn't exactly struggle to score, with three of last season's ton four scores returning season's top four scorers returning. ★★★☆★ DEFENSE The Hornets outscored opponents by 16 points per game last season, mostly because of their prolific offensive play. But the team also relied on solid defensive performances. Coach Brandon Schneider will have to integrate eight new players into a defense that allowed opponents to shoot only 36.9 percent last season. Although Emporia State ranked 14th in the nation in most blocked shots last season behind 6-foot-1 center Cecilia Henningsen and 6-5 center Denisa Svarova, it will need to find different sources to protect the rim this season after both graduated. ★ ★ ★ ★ ESU TIP-OFF PLAYER TO WATCH Cassondra Boston Michelle Stueve is the most obvious candidate, but the Hornets' success will hinge on last season's MIAA freshman of the year, Cassondra Boston. The 5-foot-6 guard must navigate Kansas' defensive pressure to distribute the ball, but she will also take on considerable scoring duties herself. Boston shot 36 percent from three-point range last year and averaged 12.1 points for the Hornets, second on the team behind Stueve. In order for Emporia State to have any chance of success against Kansas, Boston will have to score efficiently and limit costly turnovers. QUESTION MARK Can the Kansas forward tandem of Taylor Mcntosh and Porscha Weddington slow down Stueve? Kansas will focus its defensive efforts on stopping the talented senior. Coach Bonnie Henrickson will try to force Emporia State to find other scoring options. Stueve is not a typical post player: She shot 189 three pointers last season and made 35 percent. But Kansas should be able to limit her touches and use double teams to provide defensive pressure if needed. — Andrew Wiebe Sprint ahead 'HAWKS Sprint Preferred Retailer Park Plaza 2108 W. 27th St. Lawrence, KS 66047 (In the DOLLAR TREE PLAZA) 785-843-2701 Sprint Phone Repair Center TAKES HOURS ON ME FOUR NOMINEES REQUIRED JOB QUE ENTER M.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TABLE OF CONTENTS note. This week's feature story is all about dressing to fit your body. Some of you may read the headline and scoff, indeed, several Jayplayers regularly opt for a warrobe of sweats and t-shirts over tailored pieces. Sometimes nothing in the world feels better than dressing for comfort. Other times, though, and this, I'm confident, applies to everyone on this campus—you want to look your best. You've got a job interview, a first date or an opera to attend (I'm borrowing one of my sister's dresses to wear to the opera Friday because I own nothing appropriate). Chris Horn's story on pg.8 offers some simple advice to help you rock what your momma gave you and avoid some common fashion blunders. Also be sure to read Megan Hirt's story on a new eating disorder called orthorexia on pg.5 and learn about the dangers of fixating on healthy eating habits. And, because we love you, Patrick Griffith got a book of Taylor Hanson—yes, of late 1990s Hanson brothers fame. Check it out on pg.6, and try not to get "MMMBop" stuck in your head.

Healthy eating can become an unhealthy obsession By Megan Hirt While her family dines on flavorful Southern cuisine on holidays, Rebecca McCarter sticks to green veggies and plainchicken,thoughhergrandmother's fried cornbread used to be one of her favorites. "I feel so left out of the family circle now when I can only pick around at the collards sitting on my plate," says McCarter, a sophomore at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. "I eat things I don't even like because I feel like I should only eat what my body needs." Dieting this way for about two years, McCarter's 5-foot-2 body has dwindled to near 100 pounds. Yet she insists her strict food regimen isn't driven by looks. "It's not about feeling fat," McCarter says. "It's about my body not feeling healthy on the inside." From the Greek orthos, meaning "correct" or "right," and orexis, meaning "appetite," orthorexia is an extreme obsession with eating only healthy foods. What distinguishes orthorexia from eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia is the motivation behind the behavior. Like McCarter, someone who is orthorexic wants to feel healthy, pure and natural, whereas someone who is anorexic or bulimic wants to lose weight. Juliet Zuercher, director of nutrition services at Remuda Ranch, an inpatient eating disorder treatment center in Arizona, says most orthorexic emphasize fruits and vegetables IS BEING A VEGETARIAN OR VEGAN UNHEALTHY? Juliet Zuercher says most orthorexic patients she sees follow vegetarian or vegan diets, but this doesn't mean these lifestyles are unhealthy. "You can be vegetarian or vegan and be just fine," Zuercher says. People with eating disorders often claim to be vegetarians or vegans—abstaining from meat or both meat and animal by-products—to defend their dangerously limited versions of the diets. "These lifestyles just foster restriction for an eating disordered person," Zuercher says. "They reinforce the idea that an entire category of food can be off-limits." in their diets and often try to completely eliminate fat, sodium and carbohydrates. Although an orthorexic's fixation is on food's quality rather than its quantity, Zuercher says diets that do away with entire categories of nutrients can have the same dangerous health consequences as anorexia and bulimia. "It is possible to have malnutrition even though you're still eating a decent amount of food," Zuercher says. Colorado-based doctor Steven Bratman coined the term "orthorexia" in 1997 after his own bout with what he called "righteous eating." Bratman later wrote the book Health Food Junkies on the disorder, and said that orthorexia begins as an innocent desire to be healthier but morphs into an almost spiritual way of thinking in which all of life's meaning is transferred to food. Bratman created a 10-step test to detect the disorder, however there has been little scientific research into orthorexia and a person cannot be clinically diagnosed with the disorder. The current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a handbook for mental health professionals, places eating disorders in three categories: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and eating disorders not otherwise specified. Orthorexia falls in the latter of these categories, meaning doctors cannot give it as a clear-cut diagnosis. Though they don't have precise criteria with which to identify orthorexia, eating disorder specialists are familiar with the disorder and its potential dangers. Roberta Pearle Lamb, lead dietician at Walden Behavioral Care in Massachusetts, says she can spot when someone is hung-up on healthy eating because the diet begins to interfere with the person's ability to participate in everyday life. The person becomes isolated from relationships and activities he or she once enjoyed, and thoughts of planning meals and feelings of guilt about eating take up a large part of the person's day. Lamb says orthorexia is likely becoming more common because of the movement toward organic foods and recent reports of food contamination. "It's a healthy instinct to be more conscious of our food supply," Lamb says. "But it has become trendy to be hyper-vigilant and make blanket statements about foods being completely good or completely bad." For this reason, Lamb says or herexics often remain under the radar, their eating habits reinforced rather than questioned by the people around them. Noah Eaton, a senior at Portland State University, developed orthorexia out of his distrust of government food regulations. "I thought about the ulterior motives the FDA, fast food corporations and major grocers have," Eaton says. "I got all caught up in my fears and emotions." On a severely restricted form of his already vegetarian ciet, Eaton once lost 14 pounds within one month, and at his lowest weighed about 116 pounds. his muscles to the point that he can no longer do many physical activities, such as moving furniture or even playing Dance Dance Revolution. Though Eaton is now trying to balance his diet, orthorexia has taken toll on Kathy Kater, a Minnesota-based psychotherapist who specializes in body image, eating and weight concerns, says people with all types of eating disorders have the same underlying anxieties motivating their preoccupation with food. "In any eating disordered person, there's almost always perfectionism, a very rigid black or white, all or nothing approach to solutions, and a high need to be in control," Kater says. She adds that eating disorders are THE BRATMAN TEST FOR ORTHOREXIA - Do you spend more than three hours a day thinking about your diet? - Do you plan your meals several days ahead? - Is the nutritional value of your meal more important than the pleasure of eating it? - Has the quality of your life decreased as the quality of your diet has increased? - Have you become stricter with yourself lately? - Does your self-esteem get a boost from eating healthily? - Have you given up foods you used to enjoy in order to eat the "right" foods? · Does your diet make it difficult for you to eat out, distancing you from family and friends? - Do you feel guilty when you stray from your diet? - Do you feel at peace with yourself and in total control when you eat healthily? Yes to four or five questions means it's time to relax about food. Yes to all questions means a full-blown obsession with eating healthy food. Source; Steven Bratman usually part of a dual diagnosis, meaning most people with an eating disorder also have another mental illness, usually anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder or depression. Because the underlying causes are similar, Juliet Zuercher says treatment for someone with orthorexia resembles treatment for other eating disorders, which involves meeting with a dietician as well as a therapist to find alternative ways of handling the anxiety driving the behavior. "No one wants to walk around in fear, but we have to find another way for them to ease their fear, because food is never going to do it," Zucher says. "Food was never meant to meet emotional needs." For Rebecca McCarter, who is trying to overcome orthorexia without professional help, food is no longer an enjoyable part of family get-togethers like it once was." I feel like I used to have a passion for food and wanted to try so many new things," McCarter says. "Now I worry that I'm never going to be cured, and I wonder how I'm going to get through the rest of my life." ... pot luck JAYPLAY 11.08.2007 dforyou/badforyou Sure, it's socially unacceptable, and downright gross, but sometimes to get those hard-to-reach boogers, you have to give your nose a little pick. But are you clearing your nasal passages or just making yourself, in addition to everyone else, sick? "Sticking your finger up there introduces germs and bacteria to your nose," says Stephen Sege- VF brecht, ear, nose and throat doctor at Lawrence Otolaryngology. "The germs under your fingernail can cause a virus to get into your body." Segebrecht says that some of the diseases that can wiggle their way in through your nose include the common cold, strep and pneumonia infections. He recommends starting off blowing your nose with household tissues. But if that doesn't work, Segebrecht says using a salt or saline spay will help loosen some of the stubborn mucus. And if even that fails to do the trick, he says that picking can be used as a last resort, but stresses that people should thoroughly wash their hands before digging for gold. VERDICT—BAD FOR YOU. Jared Duncan health tip THE UNCOMMONLY KNOWN FACTS OF FLOSSING The American Dental Association recommends flossing at least once a day to remove excess plaque and food particles that toothbrushes can't reach. Although a person rarely goes through childhood without hearing this common suggestion, recent research has shown flossing does more than keep your teeth and gums clean. As those elementary informational cartoons told us, flossing is the best way to fight gum disease. However, it also reduces the risk of gum and mouth cancer, which pose serious threats to your overall health. "Brushing your teeth for a minute or swishing Listerine isn't going to cut it," says Niki Gardner, a dental assistant at the Burris Dental Group in Shawnee. "Flossing at least once a day is the best way to not be diagnosed with something that is essentially avoidable."

I'm going to go with Bruce Lee because he is the fighter who would be unrelenting, but it would probably be the guy whose girlfriend was insulted right before he went out. That's the ultimate question. I'd want the ability to absorb any other potential superpower, therefore becoming the greatest. I definitely would prefer to live in the 60s.

KNIT: A SCARF As the temperature outside steadily falls, the number of you who are still sporting flip-flops does not. Whether it's in defiance or out of laziness, we know you won't stop any time soon. Instead, keep some of that body heat in with a homemade scarf. Wearing a scarf is an easy and fashionable way to keep warm in winter weather, but the fun part is actually knitting the thing. It may look like a daunting task, but it's so easy you can actually teach yourself if you don't know anyone who knits. Visit www.knittinghelp.com to watch instructional videos or visit your local bookstore and pick up a knitting magazine or book. When you're in charge, everything is up to you; you choose the colors, length, width and even the type of yarn. It's your baby, so even if it's ugly, you'll still love it. 8 TALK: WITH YOUR FRIENDS --- Really. Do it the old-fashioned way, sans cell phones, text messaging, e-mail or AIM.

Adrienne Colcher says her hourglass figure, a size 6 or 8 depending on the brand, is the perfect canvas for her fashion finds. "I can really go to a lot of stores and find clothes that fit and look good on me," Colcher, Garden City senior, says about her preppy-chic style. "It's all about knowing what styles are trendy and how I can make those trends work with my body." Colcher's wardrobe is more diverse now than it was when she started college. She sports everything from polos and straight-leg jeans to baby-doll dresses and fitted cardigans, all with a fashionable poise that is indicative of her style, knowledge and understanding of her body. "My closet is jam- packed with versatile clothes," she says. "I know now that more things actually fit me than I first thought." Despite a closet full of figure-friendly frocks, Colcher does have difficulty with some parts of her wardrobe. "It's hard for me to find trendy denim because my hips are larger than my waist and the fashionable jeans tend to be low-rise," she says. "I just have to make do with what I've got and get something that's in style and comfortable." Not everybody can easily grasp the concept of styling oneself based on body type. You can't let trends dictate how you dress. "Forget style, we're talking about fit, dimensions and shape. There is no gray area. When you attempt to convey a current style with no regard to your body shape, you are putting yourself at risk to commit a heinously tragic fashion sin. For example, the apple-shaped girl—stocky on the top and middle sections of the body with narrow, skinny legs—who walked into Wescoe Hall the other day wearing a tight-fitting, midsection-bearing shirt and skinny jeans and sporting what I refer to as an "ass bag"—the extra fabric in pants that creates a pseudo-diaper, Tragic! Or we can discuss the wonderfully styled, but ill-fitting, XL coat a guy draped over his medium sized body a few weeks ago on Jayhawk Boulevard.

If you're interested in a trend that may not flatter your body, tweak it to make it work. For example, wide-leg trousers aren't necessarily flattering on petite bodies. Instead, try a high-waist version that makes your legs look longer. 2. Wear what fits—nothing too cingly or oversized. Clothes won't look good if you have to pull down your top or if you have visible panty lines. 3. Fill your wardrobe with mainly classic pieces that you know work for you and seek out a few trendy pieces for each season. 4. Women, specifically plus-sized ones, should get a proper bra fitting. The bust line should sit halfway between the shoulder and the elbow. 5. Women without a narrow waist should invest in a jacket with great seaming that accentuates the area under the bust. It's all about creating a feminine silhouette. 6. Men: Shoulder seams were meant for the shoulders, not the elbows! Purchase shirts and jackets that have seaming that rests where it should. 7. Don't be a slave to fashion. If a trend doesn't look good on you—skinny jeans for instance—don't wear it. 8. Break free from the typical high school outfitters Hollister and Abercombie and start trying on more high-end styles at relatively priced stores such as H&M and Zara or even a nice boutique downtown or in Kansas City. 9. Accessories can attract and distract if you use them advantageously. For example, carry an eye-catching bag near the part of the body you want to accentuate and draw attention to. If you don't love your legs, wear one over your shoulder to hit at your bust or waist. 10. Embrace your shape instead of fighting it. A lack of confidence shows through in what you wear. Sources: Misty Huber, Fiona Dieffenbacher & Clinton Kelly in terms of girls to guys. And when you walk through campus sometimes, a large percent of the more than 11,000-strong male population on campus looks rather drab. La mode pour les hommes You guys may wonder, why the French? Well, roughly translated, it means: mimic the runways of Paris and sport a high-end look tailored to fit your made-for-style stature. However you acquired your body, whether by working hard at the gym or winning the genetic lottery, use what you have. A broad upper-body, angling inward toward a narrow 32-inch waist, all truncated by a pair of lean legs—this, my friends, was what Michelangelo envisioned when he sculpted "David," yet some of our on-campus Adonises still embrace ordinary oversized outfits. Although most "What Not To Wear" participants are women, Clinton Kelly and gang still have rules for men. Kelly says to accentuate the shoulders and upper-body using fitted clothing with strong seaming. This is achievable with the help of fitted sweaters and jackets that hit right at the hip and have a small amount of cinching in the torso. Stylish siren, not plus-sized debacle Sometimes overweight people dress exactly like an extra-small model, when obviously an extra-small frame isn't the same as a larger one. Don't let it get you down, though; with the help of body-appropriate clothing, you can turn fashion no-nos into a wonderful look that's sure to turn heads. another counterpart. Finding clothes that don't drown you out isn't easy, but the search gets harder when you know what style you want but haven't quite figured out which areas of your body to play up. As stated before Kelly emphatically condemns oversized clothing, and this goes for both sexes. Kelly says that jeans and pants should be fitted while maintaining a sense of comfort. A simple straight-leg pant makes a remedial effort against the problem of baggy jeans. Kelly adds that the crotch of the jean shouldn't be too far away from its anatomical counterpart. liqred top feminine Dieffenbacher says to choose styles that elongate the body and create a flowing line. She recommends that plus-sized women not purchase tight-fitting tops or pants because they break the body into two parts. She says that accessories, such as shawls or scarves, can cover up potential problem areas like upper arms or the neck. Unshapely dresses should be tossed out of the closet, she adds, not only because they make you look like a tent, but they also detract from the areas of your body that you might be comfortable showing off. Fiona Dieffenbacher, associate director of external projects in the fashion design department at Parsons The New School for Design, says plus-sized women have a more difficult time keeping up with trends. She says plus-sized women's limited silhouettes accommodate only certain items that accentuate a larger frame. Dieffenbacher notes the recent leggings trend as an unflattering style for plus-sized women. She says that when your body isn't necessarily the best fit for a trend, tweak it to make it work for you. She adds that plus-sized women should avoid any clothes that bring attention to the notorious trouble areas; the torso and hips. Color adds to the appeal of your clothes, Dieffenbacher says. She affirms the common fashion rule that black is a slimming color. She also suggests keeping the color story in tonal harmony or all one color. Too many colors or loud patterns accentuate size. She says it's definitely OK to add an accent color with your handbag, shoes or a jacket. Styling for women is about emphasizing, or creating, the perfectly feminine figure. Katie Bohl, Olathe senior, meticulously sifts through the crowded racks at Forever 21, 1847 Village West Parkway at the Legends in Kansas City, Kan. "There are so many things here," she says, eyeing a dark gray trench. "Sometimes I walk out with nothing and sometimes I find some great pieces." The 5-foot Bohl, standing in line at the register among a group of tweens half a foot taller than her, mid-length trench in tow, says she can't let her height weigh her style down. "Most of my favorite stores make clothes for girls with a little bit of height," she says. "So a lot of times, I have to mix and match to find pieces that give me a good sense of style and don't make me look like I'm 12 years old." Bohl says she typically buys straight-leg jeans and form-fitting tops for a casual look. "Anything else will make you look tiny," she says. "The point is to emphasize everything but your small height, and clothes that make you look a little curvier give off an illusion of height." She adds that it's important to identify the length of tops and bottoms. Proportionate clothing—tops that touch the hips and pants that hit right at the floor—is essential in order to be a stylish petite person. From small to tall, fit is essential and it's important to realize that clothes are about presentation and appearance. You don't want to look like a pre-pubescent girl or a lanky toothpick because you couldn't get something right. Size doesn't matter; it's how you use it According to Centers for Disease Control, American men ages 20 to 39 are 20 pounds heavier and an inch taller than they were in 1960. In addition, the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics found that nearly 5 percent of men ages 20 to 29 are 6 feet 3 inches or taller, accounting for millions of men. Six-foot-4-inch "What Not to Wear" co-host Clinton Kelly says taller guys have a more difficult time finding clothes that are lengthy enough to fit.Kelly suggests that you broaden the shoulder with a strong jacket or a sweater with stripes across the chest. He adds that like most people, tall men have to be mindful of trends, such as V-necks, which are a hot item in men's fashion right now.Taller men should avoid V-necks because they elongate the neck to giraffe status.Overall, Kelly says oversized clothes make taller men look scrawny, so wear clothes that fit closer to the body for a fashionable look. g Your body is an empty canvas and understanding what looks best on it is essential. Once you realize this, you can turn a paint by numbers watercolor into an artistic masterpiece worthy of the Louvre. Of in this case, the world outside your closet. Comfort doesn't always have to be oversized. Loose-fitting clothes make you look screwy and shapeless. people JAYPLAY = 11.08.2007 We've Got Lawrence Covered.

Marsh went to the game with a bunch of friends and, he says, "the second the final buzzer went off everyone raced up to Jayhawk boulevard." Marsh remembers students and locals celebrating until 4 a.m. What he did: During his years at the University, Marsh spent his time attending sport events and studying. He was a member of the Public Relations Society of America and the Association of Colligate Entrepreneurs, where he learned the skills that got him his first job. The memories: During What he says: Marsh recommends students get as much out of being a student as possible. "Learn to balance your social life with the academic and extra curricular activities." He says that students should ask as many questions as needed because "when you are a student people think that you really want to learn, but the moment you are a graduate people think you are only asking because you want to get a job." Back in the day: One of Marsh's greatest memories is camping outside of Allen Fieldhouse to get basketball tickets. He says that when he went to school everyone would really camp. "I mean, we were literally pitching tents outside in order to get tickets."

I met a girl on the last tour I did with The Scene Aesthetic, and she had actually made cute shirts for her friends that had my face on them, which is far from the normal thing for me.

Sex and the City’s exposure of Martinis created a creative craze for cocktail drinkers. “I like to have a martini, two at the very most, after three I’m under the table, after four I’m under my host.” — Dorothy Parker. Caramel apple, chocolate and white chocolate. These liquid pleasures sit in V-shaped martini glasses around a table of gabbing girls. On a typical Thursday evening you'll find Nicole Hayes, Wichita graduate student, and her friends sipping martinis and conversing about the week's events at The Jayhawker, a bar located in The Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St. In September 2006 The Jayhawker started offering two-for-one martinis on Thursdays, which has cultured some students about the classy, sophisticated cocktail that has evolved from dry and dirty to sweet and flirty. Luke Lawler, manager of The Jayhawker, says since September 2006, the Thursday special has exploded. The bar sells between 600 and 700 martins every Thursday evening and, in response to the trend, now charges a $2 fee to enter. Hayes, a Thursday night regular, ignores the stresses of the week and delights in the abundance of the martini selection. "They're like dessert with alcohol." Hayes says. Teller's Restaurant and Bar, 746 Massachusetts St., also has a Thursday martini special. It offers $2 off martinis, which are regularly price at $9. Bartender Aaron Storck says Teller's just revamped its martini menu, creating new martinis for the fall. Two of the newbies, Blood Orange—ginger-infused vodka made at Tellers, and blood orange—and Peperosa—vodkia, white chocolate, fresh berries and pink peppercorn—are reason enough to stop in. Like The Jayhawker, Teller's creates its martinis with Svedka vodka, which is considered a premium liquor. Storck says the kitchen closes at 11 p.m. on the weekends but the bar stays open until 2 a.m. as long as people are drinking. If a cozy hole in the wall suits your style better, stop by The Bourgeois Pig at 6 East $9^{th}$ St. for one of its custom martinis. The bar doesn't have weekly specials, says bartender Dustin Kinsey.Instead, the special of the evening is decided by the bartender working. However, the martinis aren't expensive. They range from $6.25 to $8.75 depending on the type. The Bourgeois Pig makes its martinis with Smirnoff vodka, another premium liquor. Kinsey says most people drinking a straight vodka martini will ask for Kettle One or Grey Goose, which will up the price a little. For example, a cosmopolitan made with Smirnoff costs $6.25 while one made with Kettle One costs $6.75. Some other bars are hopping onto the martini bandwagon. JB Stout's Sports Bar & Grill, 721 Wakarusa Drive, has a martini menu, but because of new management, the bar is changing its selection. The bar now uses Svedka vodkia but is switching it out for a higher quality vodkia. Don't worry, the current price of $6 to $8 should stay the same. Danny Williams, the new general manager, is also planning on adding more martinis to the selection. Currently, the menu has 10 specialty martinis and will add more classic options to the list Williams says he hopes the new menu will be out this week. Another bar to watch for upcoming martini drinks is Quinton's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St. General manager Greg Mann says Quinton's is launching a martini night around Thanksgiving. Mann says the bar used to sell lots of martinis but has slowed down in the last year or two. Martini night will either be on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month or on a different day of the week twice a month. The menu is already compiled and contains martinis created especially for Quinton's, along with some martinis from The Aqua Lounge that used to be in The Granada. Mann does not know which vodka they will use, though he says it will be premium. Mann spoke about one of the martins on the menu called the Sicilian. He didn't know the exact ingredients but mentioned something about pepperonis. Many theories exist for how the martini was created but no one knows for sure the exact details. However they originated, martinis developed from the classic gin and vermouth to incorporating vodka and James Bond's memorable "shaken not stirred" cocktail. "Sex and the City" expanded the idea of martinis, making cosmopolitans the ladies' drink of choice. If you crave martinis but can't afford to order out, make your own at home. Equipment: You will need a shaker or a cocktail pitcher and stirring rod. Many martinis can be mixed with either device, however some drinks need cream, which is easier to mix when shaken. Homemade martinis Kim Haasarud, author of 101 Martinis, says the exposure of cosmopolitans started the martini craze that enabled people to be creative when exploring cocktails. Jennifer Newens, author of The Best 50 Martinis, advises in her book to purchase a shaker or cocktail pitcher and stirring rod made of stainless steel or glass instead of aluminum.The taste of aluminum can alter the taste of the drink. Step 1: Choose your favorite martini recipe and attain all the ingredients. Leanne Shear, co-author of Cocktail Therapy, says to purchase premium vodka. She says top-shelf alcohol isn't necessary, especially on a college student's budget, but don't reach for the bottom shelf with the plastic containers, either. Step 2: Add your ingredients, along with crushed ice to the shaker or cocktail pitcher. Shake or stir with the stirring rod for 10 to 15 seconds. The longer the shake or stir the more diluted the martini becomes. Step 3: Strain the cocktail into a martini glass and garnish it with an olive, lemon twist, cherry or any other contributing ornament. "Martini went from gin to vodka to anything in a martini glass," she says. "You can even put something nonalcoholic in a martini glass and it could be called a martini." Sip away at your martini of choice while donning the chic physique and attitude of a true martinian. As with Hayes and her girlfriends, martinis may become a weekly tradition for you, too. "I'm sure I'll be here next week."Hayes says. reviews JAYPLAY = 11.08.2007 HELP WANTED NIGHTS The Good Life Help Wanted Nights is the latest release from Cursive frontman Tim Kasher's side project, The Good Life. Showing quieter, more folky influences than Cursive's sludgy rock, Help Wanted Nights is another reason Omaha is one of the best indie-rock cities in America. Shot Number 1-3 "HELP WANTED NIGHTS" Camera A The Good Life strips things down to the bare elements—guitars, bass, drums and vocals. Kasher's voice is thick with a rich character of strained misunderstandings and wine-filled nights. The songs have a passionate feel without seeming over the top or pseudo-emotional. Description VIBRATING CATERER AT BUFFER (CVD) BURANTIAN TRAPAG NOISE; ACOUSTIC GUITAR INTRO. The album starts with the late night, last call feel of "On The Picket Fence." "A Little Bit More" has an acoustic-pop style similar to something from Lawrence's The New Amsterdams. "Heartbroke" has an old ska feel with offbeat guitars and driving beats. "So Let Go" is a desolate track brimming with a hope for something better. And the closer, "Rest Your Head," is ten minutes of upbeat rock bliss. ★★★★ Chris Brower AMERICAN GANGSTER As far as subject matter is concerned, American Gangster is no trailblazer. But fortunately for us, a true story about drug culture is one of those subjects that is always green, never cashed (pardon my puns). The movie follows drug lord Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington), whose rise to prominence in the late 1960s is paralleled by Harlem's demise as a city with an unshakable habit. The stuff is called Blue Magic: 100 percent pure heroin from Bangkok that Lucas and his brothers smuggled into the U.S. using war planes from Vietnam. Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe) is the detective on the crack-down. His obstacles are three-fold; not only must he take out the Lucas family juggernaut, but he also has to work against corrupt cops who are content with receiving bribes from dealers as well as the users who will go a long way to get their fix. With all this going on, director Ridley Scott is patient, using all two hours and forty-five minutes to create realistic crime drama. Like its uber-successful predecessor Blow, Gangster tells the chilling story of a greedy man's tragic fall. But where Blow stops, this film continues to trudge into the muck of the issue, DENZEL WASHINGTON RENNIE GROVE AMERICAN GANGSTER eventually reaching that elusive 'next level'in its ability to portray the frustratingly cyclical effects that a drug influx has on society. It's sad, powerful, and unrelenting; Martian Child is sure to be a sunshiny alternative. But for those ready, prepare for a hit of realism—no needle required. ★★★★★ lan Stanford Change Your Lifestyle Your Money Your Savings sign & Save Every time you use your Sunflower Bank check card, the total rounds up to the next dollar -- and the leftover amount transfers from your checking account to your savings!

By Nick Finnegan I'm a hairy person. There are just no two ways about it. Thick, black hair covers my arms and legs and I seem to have a shag carpet glued to my stomach and chest. The funny thing is that neither of my parents is particularly hairy. But somewhere in the random arrangement of my genetic materials, my DNA was coded for profuse hair growth. Looking at the tufts of coarse, now gray, hair sprouting from grandpa I can definitely tell what traits have been passed on to me. I wasn't always hairy, not in the beginning. I spent many days in my childhood frolicking, glorious, and bodyhair-free. Then one summer afternoon at the pool before my sixth grade year, a friend of mine noticed something strange under my arms. "Wow, you already started growing armpit hair?" Damn straight, I thought. I was on the fast track to becoming a man, and it was showcased in my ability to grow hair that other guys couldn't at the time. I was proud of my genes and my quick development. It wasn't just the armpit hair, either. Later that year I started growing bits of facial hair, mostly in the form of a thin, creepy-looking moustache. I was learning to shave and do all those cool things that men do. But as middle school faded to high school, my arm hair began to thicken up along with my leg hair, and what had once been a treasure trail on my tummy erupted into a forest of hair on my chest and stomach. Nearly every area on my body, except my back, was covered in the unwanted, black extrusions. My hairiness never really shamed or embarrassed me at first. Girls weren't really a problem. I had a girlfriend at the time for three years, from the end of my freshman year to my senior year, so I didn't have to worry about any other ladies at school seeing the prodigiousness only hinted at by the alfalfa sprouts popping out from the front of my collar. Guys didn't hassle me, either. I was a wrestler for two years, and my Sasquatch-esque appearance standing nearly naked on the weight scale never resulted in laughter or hysteria. Not until one wrestling meet, when we were being checked by the referees, making sure that our nails were cut and our faces shaved as per regulations, did I ever feel truly embarrassed. "Jeez, maybe we should have made you shave the rest of yourself too, huh?" said one referee, grinning at the other. All I wanted was to tell him to shut up and do his freaking job and leave me alone. From then on I started becoming more self-conscious about my hair. By the time I had come to KU, my hair had established itself as a prominent feature of my physical appearance, and it was darker and thicker than ever. A month or so into my first semester I felt it was time to do something. My first attempt at shaving proved futile, because of how thick the hair was, I had to take drastic measures. I waited until I knew my roommates would be out, and after testing a spot of skin to ensure I wouldn't have an allergic reaction, I emptied a bottle of Nair onto my skin. The thick, goopy mess smelled terrible as I stood covered from chest to foot. I told myself that it would be worth it in the end. The allotted time passed and I stepped into the shower and watched as my shame washed down the drain. After an agonizing hour and a half, I found myself as hair-free as a naked mole rat, sans all those gross wrinkles. I realized the real problem wasn't that I was too hairy; it was that I had let somebody make me believe that I was too hairy. My hair was a part of me and I had let somebody else's opinion shape what I thought was correct. The regrowing process was prickly and painful (worse in some areas than others) and rid me of any desire to attempt to be somebody I'm not. And whether you're hairless or you're covered in something resembling the flooring of an old WW bus, don't worry about what people think, or think they know. I certainly don't. My freshly liberated body felt strange and incomplete, however. My roommates noticed the change right away, of course, and had themselves a nice laugh. It also didn't help that I had decided to try this experiment during winter. My skin was unaccustomed to the frigid temperatures that my furiness had abated. Every time I walked to class, I felt exposed and wished I had my hair back. Think you have a more prominent pelt than this guy? Prove it.

The Café also offers arepas, which are South American stuffed corn cakes, and pinchos, a Spanish kabob served with yellow rice and black beans. The Café has Wi-Fi for customers. **Best-selling items:** Owner Kate Gonzalez said best-sellers were the Cuban sandwich, arepas, Havana chicken sandwich and the breakfast scramble. Since June, five restaurants have opened on Massachusetts Street, replacing some long-time Lawrence restaurants and some that just didn't survive. Jane Pennington, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., said that this year had been an unusual year as far as turnover rates. "There are so many restaurants available downtown, it's hard for newcomers to get a hold and be successful," Pennington said. This past summer, Global Cafe, Ingredient and Genovese opened, and this fall Encore Cafe and Southern Cuisine opened. Bob Shumm, owner of Buffalo Bob's Smokehouse, 719 Massachusetts St., and previous owner of Mass. Street Deli, which was open for 34 years and closed in February 2007, said the restaurant market was fully saturated in the city- and that the customer market was currently down from previous years. "Dining out is a discretionary act, and when people run out of money, it's easy to say I'm not going to eat out anymore," Shumm said. Despite restaurant closings, open spaces on Massachusetts Street sell quickly. When Summm closed Mass. Street Deli, Genovese was ready to start moving in almost immediately. Pennington said that Ingredient rented Qdoba's space almost immediately as well. Nick Wysong, general manager of ingredient, said the turnover rate in Lawrence was always high and would continue to be high. "The reason it's so high is because the people that own them don't want to work them," Wysong said. "They put someone else in charge, and then other restaurants start to steal from you." Pennington said the restaurant market was difficult if owners didn't understand the market and how much competition and customer loyalty to other restaurants played a part. Shumm said it was important for restaurant owners to have their debt under control for when the market was down. "You have got to have a unique product and be determined to stay with it through the ups and downs," Shumm said. "Through the years there have been plenty of ups and downs, and you have to invest a lot of money in it."

The restaurant offers authentic Italian food, such as spaghetti, linguini and pizzas. **Best-selling item:** General manager Jack Donham said that the ravioli was the best selling pasta dish and that the pasta tasting dish also sold well. 1 Southern Cuisine Date Opened: November 2007 Location: 1008 Massachusetts St. Previously: Olé Tapas Price Range: Everything is either $6.99 or $9.95.

I hope I never become one!" — Screech in the "Saved by the Bell" episode "Fake IDs" fact of the day Q: Where did the saying saved by the bell come from? A: Saved by the bell is actually boxing slang dating from the 1930s. A contestant being counted out could be saved by the ringing of the bell for the end of the round, giving him a minute to recover. However, many stories say that the phrase was coined in England during the 17th century, when fear of being buried alive was not uncommon. People thought that if they were accidently buried alive, it would be useful to have above-ground bells attached to their coffins so they could alert the graveyard guards of their plight and be rescued.

ENTERTAINMENT Parents' first meetings become one-act plays BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com Those with injice stories about how their parents met will get a chance to put them to good use this weekend. The English Alternative Theatre will host its "How My Parents Met" writing competition during performances of two one-act plays written by two KU students. Paul Lim, professor of English, organized the event and said the competition resulted in some original stories. "A lot of the stories we have received are really interesting," Lim said. "Surely everyone asks their parents how they met when they are growing up. Some of these stories are really comical about how the writers' parents met, but some are tragic as we know love can fade and can eventually turn to divorce" The competition has 24 finalists, who have been separated into three groups of eight. The finalists will read their pieces before the one-act plays on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday, depending on which day each group has been designated. Finalist Robert Knapp. Stillwell junior, said the story of how his parents met at a party was quite entertaining. "My mom mistook my dad for a biker. He had a beard, a jacket, the whole bit. However, he had just been working on an oil rig for a few months as an engineer." Knapp said he hoped his peers' stories were just as humorous. Shawn Bowers, Overland Park senior and competition volunteer, said he thought people should attend because the subject was relatable. "Having students and community members share the stories of how their parents met provides a perfect introduction to what these plays are about." Bowers said. "It shows how universal the themes in these one-acts actually are." "Please Take ... Seriously" written by Lawrence senior Adam Brent Lott features the long life of a couch, from its original purchase by a fraternity in 1958 to the present, where two professors must determine its final fate. "Lights Fade, Curtain," by Whitney Reece Rowland, Olathe junior, explores a playwright's attempts to figure out his life by looking into, and writing about his parents' lives, from their first meeting to how their marriage fell apart. Three finalists will win a cash prizes of $100 if chosen by the panel of three judges. The one-act plays and competition take place at 7:30 tonight and Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. Tickets are available at the Lawrence Arts Center box office and cost $6 for students, $8 for seniors and $10 for the general public.

Edited by Amelia Freidline ODD NEWS Court upholds decision in battle over Elvis relics DOVER, Del. — A legal battle over an odd collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia — including a glass device reportedly used to irritate the King's sinuses before he took the stage — could be nearing an end. The Delaware Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a ruling granting California businessman Richard Long ownership of the collection of items once owned by Presley's physician, Dr. George Nichopolous. The collection includes a black doctor's bag used by Nichopolous containing prescription bottles bearing Presley's name, as well as jewelry, guns, and a laryngal scope used to examine Presley's throat. According to the lawsuit, Nichopolous agreed last year to sell it for $1 million to Long and his business partners, Robert Gallagher and Betty Franklin of Nevada. Long put up the money, and Gallagher and Franklin, who claimed to have a "half interest" in the collection, agreed to assign all their rights to a company Long controlled. Long alleged in his lawsuit that Gallagher and Franklin refused to surrender access to the memorabilia and would not provide the paperwork needed to obtain insurance. A judge entered a default judgment against Gallagher and Franklin in July after they repeatedly failed to appear for court hearings and ignored court orders. The judgment held Gallagher and Franklin in contempt and gave Long authority to dissolve the partnership and sell the collection. The Supreme Court turned down Gallagher's and Franklin's appeal Tuesday. David Finger, an attorney for Long, said his client is determined to make the pair give up the collection. Michael Matuska, an attorney for Gallagher and Franklin, did not return a telephone message Wednesday.

The music opens Friday, coinciding with Murphy Hall's 50th anniversary. 'The Music Man marks 50 years of Murphy Hall BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com There may not be a cake and presents, but the departments of theatre and film and music and dance will celebrate two anniversaries in their own way this weekend with a banquet and performances of "The Music Man" This year marks the 50th anniversaryes of both Murphy Hall and the popular musical. John Staniums, director of "The Music Man," said the show was the perfect choice for the occasion because in addition to the shared anniversaries, it connected with audiences today. "I it's pure Americana; it was about us, and it still is the show." Stanianus said. He said the show had stood the test of time and would continue to do so. Charla Jenkins, public relations director of the University Theatre, said the production committee had wanted to do something special for the 50th anniversary of the building with a performance of either "The Music Man" or "Westside Story." She said "The Music Man" ultimately was chosen because it shared the 50th anniversary with Murphy Hall and because it was a musical that the department hadn't put on for quite some time. "We did 'Music Man' years ago, and it's just nice to in your head." Dress rehearsals for the show took place Monday through Wednesday, but the show was in the works "Music brings us together whether it's in church or when you sing "Happy Birthday," this show will connect the audience." do a show that hanks has something for everybody," jenkins said.

"There's a lot of freshmen in the production, so we have new people In addition to "The Music Man," the departments also will celebrate Murphy Hall's 50th anniversary with a banquet dinner and a rededication of the building starting at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Larry Mallett, chairman of the department of music and dance, helped plan the anniversary and said this weekend's events were part of an agreement between the department of theatre and film and the department of music and dance to collaborate on a production each year. He said his favorite part of the night was the open mic session. "It's nice to have the people come back and hear their stories," Mallett said. "It's a good chance for anyone to talk about an experience they had in Murphy" Tickets for the banquet have already been sold, but seats are still available for "The Music Man." The show takes place at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, with additional shows the following weekend. Tickets cost $10 for students, $20 for the general public and $19 for senior citizens. Staniunas said he thought the show would connect with audiences and that he hoped students would attend. "I'm a firm believer, unless you have arts in your life, you're not fulfilled," he said. "Music brings us together, whether it's in church or when you sing happy birthday, this show will connect the audience." - Edited by Meghan Murphy KU outreach program travels to Baldwin City to clean up battlefield VOLUNTEER Battle of Black Jack hailed as first armed conflict of Civil War BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com The Center for Community Outreach is looking for students to help clean a part of history on Saturday. The Union and the Confederacy fought the battle of Black Jack, a battle that technically preceded the start of the Civil War, on June 2, 1856. On Saturday, the CCO will travel to Baldwin City to help clean brush and cut stumps from Black Jack Battlefield. the historical importance of the battle. "It's an important part of national heritage," Altenbernd said. "That's where the fighting of the Civil War really began." Altenbernd said that notable Civil War veterans who fought in the battle of Black Jack included "It's an important part of national heritage. That's where the fighting of the Civil War really began." KERRY ALTENERND Black Jack Battlefield Trust Member Kelli Stout, Derby senior and co-director of the CCO, said that this project was part of a series of service projects that the CCO, a division of Student Senate, organized throughout the school year. Kerry Altenbernd, member of the Black Jack Battlefield Trust, said that the Black Jack Battlefield was unique because although it predates the official start of the Civil War, the battle was the first time two well-armed groups met to fight about slavery. Some historians are beginning to acknowledge "This was something that was a little different than a typical park clean-up," Stout said. "A lot of students don't know about it." John Brown, an abolitionist, and Henry Clay Pate, a pro-slavery advocate in both Kansas and Missouri. "The story of Black lack, I think, is one of international significance" Stout said that the CCO was still looking for students to help tomorrow. She said that a car pool would leave from the Kansas Union at 10 a.m. Saturday and would stay in Baldwin City until about 2 p.m. Stout said that lunch would be provided by the CCO. Altenbernd said. "I've never been able to find an earlier example when a group of the oppressive society fought the oppressing society."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Simmermon: How to respond to acquaintances on campus when you can't remember who they are. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9,2007 PAGE 5A Annual border showdown to be played abroad ANARCHY IN THE U.K. Neutral territory true test of team A road win would prove team's record equivalent to its talent Capacity of Memorial Stadium: 50,071. Capacity of Arrowhead Stadium: 79,400. Where would you rather see the Border Showdown played? The Nov. 24 game between Kansas and Missouri is going to be epic. Provided both teams win out before then, it will decide the Big 12 North champion. Said champion will meet likely meet Oklahoma to determine the conference champ, and the Big 12 winner could very well go on to the national championship. There's much more at stake here than the usual rivalry. The Big 12 has three teams in the top 10 of all three major polls, and this could be the year that the conference has a national title contender whose name is not Oklahoma or Texas. KU and Mizzou have both garnered significantly more national attention as the season has progressed. Their games now have prime real estate on the major networks' Saturday lineup, and both are legitimate threats against teams from the vaunted Big 10 and Southeastern Conference. A game of this magnitude deserves all the attention that it can get. ESPN has suggested that if both teams win out, the GameDay crew will come to Arrowhead. It's a perfect showcase for the plucky Big 12 talent. Will a win have the same impact, though, if it occurs in Kansas City, and not Lawrence? At best, Arrowhead is neutral territory. There shouldn't be any advantage for either team, and hopefully the crowd will be fairly evenly split. However, the neutral ground should determine which team is better, since a home advantage or a road disadvantage can't be claimed. Arrowhead makes the two teams display raw talent in 29,400 extra seats or not, though, you'd still see more blue if the game was in Lawrence. Technically it's our turn to host, with last year's game being played in Columbia. Now, with a neutral field, whichever team wins, it will beg the questions, "Could they have won at home? Could they have won on the road?" a way that playing in Lawrence or Columbia couldn't. Local companies have expressed concern that playing the game at Arrowhead will hurt their business that weekend. However, business has only really spiked since the football team began winning consistently. Businesses survived before, and they can survive now. Besides, with the game sold out, not everyone will be able to get to Kansas City to see it. Even with Thanksgiving Break, there should be plenty of people left in Lawrence to GARDENING TIPS KELSEY HAYES To be honest, business complaints smack of fair-weather fandom. No one complained about the KU game being at Arrowhead until the team started making a national title run. Now, when excitement and optimism are high, businesses want to cash in on the team's success. set up shop in local bars. Memorial Stadium is a beautiful complex, but it doesn't exactly inspire the same awe as, say, Michigan's Big House. It doesn't (yet) have the history or prestige of the Phog. With eyes across the country focused on this match-up, the venue needs to be spectacular. Two great teams deserve to slug it out in a This game would be one for the ages if it were great stadium, and if playing at Arrowhead allows 29,400 more people to be able to see the game, that's great, too. played in wheat field. If KU has the charmed team that I hope it does, it shouldn't matter where the team plays, but this year, in these circumstances, Arrowhead has never looked better. Hayes is a Lenexa junior in journalism, political science and international studies. She is Kansan opinion editor. Arrowhead provides more seats, less soul Change in venue hurts local businesses and loyal fans The year's biggest game should give local businesses a large boost in nesses a large boost in sales, but thanks to KU Athletics' decisions, that won't be the case. The "home" football game against Missouri will be at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, devastating local restaurants, shops, and bars while padding the athletic corporation's take. Lawrence's most important game in years, between the undefeated Jay hawks and the oneloss Tigers, will not even be played in this state. BRANDON T. MINSTER What is good for the University is having the game of the season here in Lawrence. Economist David Darling analyzed the impact to local businesses when the decision was made to replace the Missouri game with an early-season non-conference home game. He estimated the loss to Kansas's economy to be $713,000. This estimate was completed well before the season began. In light of the Jayhawks' success, it must be revised upward. I've written in this space of the football team being overrated at a time when their victories were against the football equivalents of culinary and dog obedience schools. Since that time, KU has decisive wins against quality opponents, showing their undefeated record is no fluke. KU Athletics has taken something away from loyal fans and businesses and sold it in a cynical ploy for additional money. I wouldn't write so frequently of athletic corporation greed if it didn't make so many greedy decisions. Of course, supporters of the decision to move the game will say there was no way of knowing this game would be so pivotal. But a rivalry game is always pivotal. Last year's mediocre team faced MU with bowl aspirations. Even if KU were winless, the rivalry game would be a chance to save face at the expense of the most-hated opponent. DRAWING BOARD ARROWHEAD Lawrence, Nov. 24 Lawrence, Nov. 24 ARROWHEAD This decision is a virtually direct transfer from local businesses to the athletic department. Some support the decision, saying those businesses have profited from KU Athletics in the past and now they can pay some back. But I don't think Lew Perkins go into Set'em Up Jack's and say, "Nice place you got; it'd be a shame if something were to happen to it." Some say the decision to move the game is acceptable because it also moves next season's contest from Columbia to Kansas City. But if trading a home-and-away match-up for two neutral site games is preferable, why doesn't KU move all its games? Away games are the price to pay for home games, and home games are the reason to have sports teams. Unlike Texas vs. Oklahoma or Florida vs. Georgia, this game is not a traditional neutral site game, so lost revenue is not hypothetical. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony has said, "A good football program helps all other sports and the university at large," but a Wall Street Journal article casts doubt on that assessment. While Ohio's public education spending has been shrinking, Ohio State's athletics budget has been booming, to the point where Ohio State now spends on each athlete three times what it spends on other undergraduates, even though their athletes graduate at a lower rate than other students. The town profits from the school, but the school benefits from the town. How much athletic revenue would exist without a town full of KU fans? Athletics makes money from loyal fans, and then repays that loyalty by raising prices, instituting a seating points system, and moving the most important home football game of the year to another city. MAX RINKEL The decision to move the Missouri game away from Lawrence seems, in all aspects, to have been made solely from the perspective of athletic revenue, not in consideration of what would be best for the university and the community.

Twenty-six years after the birth of Big Jay's sidekick, Baby Jay, a new KU bird is in the national spotlight: White Owl. Since his appearance as the Fox Sports Network's "Wild Fan of the Game," White Owl has popped up on YouTube, college football blogs and on the front page of CollegeHumor.com as Wednesday's No. 2 video stock play. Usually surrounded by a group of friends, White Owl seems to be everywhere. From the steps of Hashinger Hall to the stands of Memorial Stadium, it is impossible to ignore his eccentric behavior. When walking on Jayhawk Boulevard, you can hear White Owl booting out his usual Jayhawk propaganda or see his famous dance moves, which he says he learned from taking tap dance and ballet lessons as a child. White Owl said he was not trying to receive attention but instead was trying to be an inspiration to students. If you can look past his bright outfits and booming laughter, he has a simple philosophy on life. "We have to live today like it's our last. That's what I learned from Vietnam," he said. "I live like it's my last day because friends are not here. I live with a joy." White Owl, who is part Lakota Sioux, said his name was given to him by a Cherokee man. If you haven't spotted White Owl on laj Hawk Boulevard, you might have seen him inside one of your lectures. "If I'm not learning until I die, then I'm not living," he said. Some people are upset about White Owl's visits, but they might be out of luck. People who are 60 years old or older are allowed to enroll in classes at the University of Kansas for no charge after completing a senior citizens rate request form. White Owl is 60. "Some classes I do disturb just by walking in, so I won't stay there," he said. "I honor the class. If I disrupt, I won't come back. And people get mad at me, but I'm sorry, so I don't go back." Some students think that the pro-Jahawk chants White Owl hollers serve only as a distraction and are bad for the image of the campus. But White Owl said he was not going to change his behavior just because people didn't like him. "If people don't like me, I'm sorry. I don't want them to not like me, but I'm not going to be changing just to fit their roles," he said. "Let them speak their minds." Kansas City, Mo., senior Michael Enriquez has done just that. Enriquez said he was not bothered by White Owl's antics — until they interfered with his studies. "I think that they are just rantings and ravings, and while I think it is fine for somebody to be here, sometimes the rantings and ravings get to be a little much." Enriquez said. "Outside they are generally not that problematic, but when you are inside a building and you're in class or studying or getting a lecture and you can hear him inside of a building, that's when it gets to be problem." White Owl said he chose to inspire KU students because he thought it was a community different from anywhere else. "To me the lahayhs have something that no high school, no pro has — the excitement like there is on this campus. And now it's being shown in the football — let alone the basketball — and they believe in themselves, and that's what I want to help people do," White Owl said. "I walk around this campus, and I see people hugging, relationships building, and that's what it's all about." Yet White Owl doesn't want to be mistaken as an evangelist. He is trying only to spark inspiration within students. "People want to go around and compare me to other evangelists. I'm not an evangelist. I love Jesus Christ. I love Buddha. I'm not pro any religion," he said, "I'm spiritual in that I feel one with myself and the cosmos." The many online blogs that focus on White Owl and his presence on the KU campus make it clear that he has both supporters and opponents. Charles Lovell, Overland Park sophomore, is one student who does support White Owl. "I think it's all right that he's here. He promotes school spirit," Lovell said. "He is kind of like a campus celebrity." White Owl does have one large group of supporters who are campus celebrities themselves: the Jayhawk football team. White Owl said the team gave him tickets behind the bench because he could make them laugh. "That's what they tell me every time that I'm there. They say, 'You help us to relax and have fun with it,'" he said. White Owl said that his acquaintance with the football team grew out of a chance meeting with Jayhawk lineman James McClinton. One afternoon early in the semester, McClinton stopped in front of Wescoe Beach to pick newspapers up off the ground. Upon seeing this, White Owl approached the man, without any idea who he was, and thanked him. White Owl said this gesture of appreciation was countered by a hug from the 285-pound senior. The two became fast friends, White Owl said. "I told him God wanted the team to win," White Owl said. "They have people like him, Talib, and many others that believe in God, and he chose them because they are men of God. 'Like David against Goliath', I said. 'You guys are going to go all the way, and he told the team that, and now they believe it. They believed it before, but it was a spark." White Owl said that the team drew a lot of comparisons to David because many players on the squad were overlooked by powerhouse schools—the Goliaths—because of their size. He thinks the team will take the others down because they have more heart and because God wants them to. Whether it's a coincidence or not, the subtitle to White Owl's video by the staff of College Humor is: "This guy is the main reason KU is 9-0 right now" In the end, whether students are pro- or anti-White Owl, he doesn't care.

"I think the main thing is that you have to run it smart. There are a lot of good runners out there, and you have a very specific goal, and that is to qualify for nationals." This weekend will mark the biggest race of the year for the University of Kansas cross country team. The men's and women's teams will travel to Peoria, Ill., to take part in this year's Midwest Regional Championships. The men will look to build off last year's success in which they finished second, and the women will try to improve on their 12th place finish. With tensions rising for each team, the men's superstar All-American Colby Wissel is unfazed. This will be the last chance for the teams to qualify for nationals this year. The system is similar to the men's college basketball bracket because 31 teams will receive BASKETBALL M. S. MAHARAJ berths from their respective regional. The top two finishing teams from each of the nine regions automatically qualify for nationals. The remaining 13 at-large bids are awarded based on performance throughout the year. Additionally, four Wissel invitations for each region are extended to the top four individual competitors whose teams did not advance. With these expectations weighing heavily, the pressure is heaviest on those in the senior classes. There is a lot of excitement building for a race of this magnitude, and senior Paul Hefferon understands the task before him. "If anything, I have to settle myself down." Hefferon said. "I was putting my stuff together this morning, and I took my Kansas jersey out. I was thinking how if I don't run well this weekend, it is my last race in a Kansas jersey, and I don't want it to be my last one." With such a big race this weekend, the teams have actually done less than in weeks past. With such demanding training throughout the year, coach Stanley Redwine has prepared the teams for success. "During this time of year we always have a saying," Wissel said. "When in doubt, do less." Hefferon I We have cut back on our miles, and we are very prepared for this meet." Edited by Jeff Briscoe Although less may be more, the two teams still expect to compete on the highest level. Although the motto encourages taking it easy, coach Redwine understands the stakes. "Of course there are expectations because this is the Midwest Regional." Redwine said. "This could be the last chance to run this year, so I think the kids understand that and are ready to run." Four individual runners from teams that did not qualify will be selected from each region. >> Thirteen at-large bids will be announced Monday, Nov. 12. The two teams look to continue their quest to nationals at Bradley University on Saturday. The gun for the men sounds at 11 a.m., with the women following shortly after at 12:15 p.m. >>> Thirty-one automatic births are for teams who finish in the top two of their region. There are nine regions. qualifying for nationals Narrowing the options Guard Brandon Rush considered UMKC, but chose KU and coach Self over friends BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Rich Zvosee never saw this coming. Zvosec, a former UMKC basketball coach, walked into the locker room of the UMKC practice center one day in the summer of 2005 to find the lights turned off. Someone had dozed off on the locker room couch. The Brandon he spoke of was Brandon Rush, now a Jayhawk junior guard, spent several summer days training with UMKC before he made his decision to come to Kansas. Rumors swirled for weeks that Rush was considering signing with his hometown team, which plays the layhawks on Sunday. Rush said it was never a serious option, but for one summer he gave people reason to think hed be a Kangaroo. "I thought it was one of my guys." Zvosec said, "but it was Brandon." CITY BUZZ During his senior year of high school, the thought of Rush playing for UMKC was laughable. Recruiting experts and Kansas City basketball junkies knew Rush had one thought on his mind while he played at Mt. Zion Christian Academy; the NBA That all changed on June 22, 2005. Rush. who had declared to the NBA Draft a month earlier, withdrew when it was apparent that he wouldn't be a first-round pick. Rumors started flying. One had Rush going to a prep school for a year before trying the NBA again. One had him going to Illinois or Indiana, the schools he listed as favorites during his senior year. UMKC wasn't on the radar yet. Then Rush showed up on the UMKC campus. "My best friend was over there who plays for them right now," Rush said. "I was there working out." His best friend is Tim Blackwell, a senior guard for the Karangaroos. The two met in seventh grade while playing for KC Rocktown, an AAU team. Rush said he played with Blackwell and the rest of team about five or six times that summer. "Look at what he's done in the Big 12. Just imagine what he would have done in our conference." While Rush hung out with him on campus, Blackwell mentioned to Rush the idea of playing in the same college backcourt. "I took the avenue of we played together a lot during AAU" Blackwell said. "I told him it would be fun to play together in college." TIM BLACKWELL UMKC senior guard If Rush wasn't serious about the Kangaroos, the media didn't give that impression. The Kansas City Star reported multiple Rush sightings on the UMKC campus, including when Rush and his brothers JaRon and Kareem were all there. Blackwell said he got phone calls for interviews every day. A radio station once invited him to the 810 Sports Zone where Blackwell answered questions about Rush on-air. Rush's presence at UMKC was enough to make Kansas City basketball fans wonder about the possibilities. Here was Rush, a top-20 recruit, working out with UMKC, a school whose basketball team was best known for producing Tony Dumas. Dumas played in the NBA for a grand total of four years and averaged about seven points per game. "The buzz around the city just when it was a rumor about him coming was huge," he said. "It was crazy." KANSAS CITY DREAMING Kangaroo seasons have been filled with NCAA Tournament pipe dreams that have never been answered since it became Division I almost 20 years ago. Rush could have changed that. During the 2004-2005 season, Blackwell and Quinton Day became eligible after transferring from other schools, and the Kangaroo started to click late in the year. Day If Rush came, UMKC basketball could have reached the big time. Think about it. Two popular Kansas City players in Blackwell and Day would join Rush, the youngest member of Kansas City's most famous basketball family. The players would have likely drawn near-capacity crowds and and Blackwell led UMKC to 11 straight victories. Kansas City loved it. Record crowds of 6,000 people came to Municipal Auditorium to watch two Kansas City boys give life to a program that had rarely shown signs of breathing. the Kangaroos to new heights. Blackwell said they probably would've made the tournament for the first time in the Big 12." Just imagine what he would have done in our conference." KISSING THE KANGAROOS GOODBYE In the end, UMKC didn't have much of a chance. Zvosec said he had one serious meeting with Rush but never went further or discussed it with Rush's family. Rush said he wanted to be close to home but didn't want to stay in Kansas City. Kansas entered the picture toward the end of the summer and at that point Zvosec said Rush was Kansas coach Bill Self's to lose. "We had recruited Tim and Anton in high school," Zvosec said. "This was kind of similar to recruit a kid the first it doesn't work out, I'd come back." Return. Instead two Big 12 tourna-nd led two Photo Illustration by When the Jayhawks play the Kangaroos on Sunday, Rush will be sitting on the bench because of an ACL injury. His best friend Blackwell is also injured and won't play. The Jayhawks are also Final Four contenders, and the Kangaroos are probably headed for another losing season. As for Zvosce, he'll have to watch the game on TV if he wants to. He was fired last year after a 12-20 season. Zvosce is out of coaching right now and is getting ready to start doing commentary for the Big 10 Network. Edited by Jeff Briscoe He would have liked to have seen Rush become a Kangaroo and see where he could have taken the program, but Zvosec always knew landing Rush was more of a dream than a reality. "It would've put us over the top, and I would probably still be the coach there," Zvosec said jokingly. "But I have to be honest. I'm glad Brandon's done so well. He's handled all the attention well. I've seen him work out, and I think he'll have a great junior year." Photo Illustration by Brenna Hawley Well, no. The two teams pray in the same conference, but the similarities end there. The Kangaroos are coming off a 12-20 season in which their coach was fired. UMKC & Oral Roberts? New coach Matt Brown inherited a team that lost its top two scorers to graduation and a talented freshman to transfer. Oh yeah, Tim Blackwell, the team's best returning player, is out Sunday because of injury. He knows UMKC has an uphill battle this season. Does UMKC have a little Oral Roberts in it? "It's obviously going to present a huge challenge for us," Blackwell said. "We have some young guys without much college experience. It's going to be a challenge." FOOTBALL Gentle giant Collins is leader, life of offense BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Everything about Anthony Collins is big: His arms are freakishly large and strong enough to stop an oncoming defensive end dead in his tracks. His legs are even bigger: They wouldn't look out of place among California's redwoods. Bigger still is his 100-watt smile. 10 78 78 86 But the most powerful weapon in Collins' arsenal could be his personality. The junior is cordial but not hesitant to voice his opinion — making him the de facto leader of the Kansas offense, a role he relishes. Right tackle Anthony Collins celebrates with his teammates at a Kansas football game. Collins said he liked to maintain a lighthearted spirit with the team but was not afraid to correct them when a play went wrong. "All of our coaches' job is to get on us and make us be better." Collins said. "So when we get away from them I try to keep everyone loose. I try to crack jokes." How else does Collins keep his teammates loose? For one, he keeps them on the lookout, leaping into their arms after most Jayhawk touchdowns. That wouldn't be a problem, but Collins happens to outweigh sophomore running back Jake Sharp by 120 pounds and sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing by 110. Collins' celebratory leaps might seem a bit dangerous, but no one has been injured so far. "I'm just so excited and happy that we're scoring and everybody's having fun because when we're losing, it's no fun," Collins said. "When we're happy and we're scoring that means we’re winning and it’s more fun. I'm just enjoying myself — I hope I don't hurt nobody though. KANSAN FILE PHOTO "My mama and my daddy and everybody says, 'Stop hitting people's kids, and please don't hurt them.' I told them I'd stop, but I haven't yet stopped." But Collins does not rely solely on fun and games to motivate his teammates. On several occasions this season, Collins has chastised receivers in mid-game for dropping passes. Oddly enough, Kansas receivers dropped just one pass last week against Nebraska. There must be something persuasive about Collins' 6-foot-5, 310-pound frame. "They only have one way to respond, and that's come back the next play and do something better," Collins said. "If they drop a pass or anybody does something wrong, I'm going to be on them. I feel like everything is run through the O-line, and I'm the leader of the O-line, so if something goes wrong I'm going to get on them." The junior's mouth is a source of entertainment and inspiration for his teammates, but his body has not hurt Kansas' cause, either. Collins moved to left tackle from right tackle before this season because of his pass-blocking ability and has made a seamless transition. With Collins fending off all pass-rushers, Reesing's blind side is more than adequately protected. His size, speed and track record have many asking a reasonable question: How long before Anthony Collins the Jayhawk becomes Anthony Collins the NFL player? Collins, who said earlier this year that he wanted to play in the NFL because "Mama's gotta eat," said Wednesday that he still planned on making the jump to the professional ranks, but not as early as many expected. "She isn't eating yet, but she's going to eat pretty soon, I hope," Collins said. "Next year she'll eat. But don't take that nowhere — I see your eyes light up. She'll eat next year, after my senior year." After all, there still plenty left for Collins to accomplish at Kansas. "I hear a lot of people say this is a dream come true, but it isn't because we work hard every morning just like everybody else," Collins said. "Everything's just connecting — we've got a good coach, good staff, good quarterback. Everybody's just connecting as one, and we're winning more games."

Last year, Kansas gained a reputation for overlooking opponents early in the season — Oral Roberts ring a bell? The Jayhawks can get rid of that reputation starting tonight. The players and coach Bill Self have been saying this team is more mature. Prove it. Other than the King of Friday, Sasha Kaun, keep your eyes on Jeremy Case. He can gain a spot in the rotation while Rush is gone if he shoots consistently, but he hasn't made a three-pointer after two exhibition games. Case's shot WHO TO WATCH has been the talk of practice for the past five years. It's time for him to start consistently making some shots in the game. QUESTION MARK Who's faster? We've already seen Chalmers, Collins and Robinson torture the backcourts of Fort Hays State and Pittsburg State. It won't be as easy against Louisiana Monroe. The Warhawks have four guards who can run too. Honorable Mention Question: Who the heck is Millsaps College? That's who Louisiana Monroe played Tuesday. Kansas might be a stiffer test than Millips College, which has eight players who are smaller than 5-foot-10. "You shouldn't overreact to November. There's no league championships, and you're not cutting down nets in November unless you win some pre-season tournament. Last year we lost to ORU, and we were 6-2 and not very good. But that was the best thing to happen to us to give us a chance to get good." coach Bill Self HEARYE. HEARYE GAME BALL BALLOWS GUARD HAWK REHOUSE REHUSS CAREE THROW WARD BALL GUARD WOLLEN BLEE BALL GUARD WOLLEN FIELD HOUSE BALL GUARD THROW FORWARD BALL THREE FRIENDS FINAL FOUR BASKETBALL BALL GUARD JACK ALLEN FIELD HOUSE BALL GUARD KAREE THROW FORWARD BALL TREES FRIENDS FINAL FOUR BASKETBALL BALL GUARD WAHLWAK HAWKS LOOK TO DOMINATE "All we're trying to do is win championships. We want to get the Big 12 Championship and hopefully the national championship. I guess the preseason just helps us leads to that." Key guards need to step it up a notch for victory Darrell Arthur, sophomore forward LOUISIANA MONROE AT KANSAS 7 tonight, Allen Fieldhouse, Jayhawk T.V. Kansas 0-0 THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE SAMANTHA MCKAY Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Robinson was at his best the last time out for the Jayhawks. He filled the stat sheet with seven points, six rebounds and 10 assists. That's exactly what he needs to do all year. ★★★★ 1. Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 Junior guard Arno Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard Six steals is more like it. Chalmers only had one in the first game. It wouldn't be a surprise if Chalmers, Robinson and Collins combined to average nine steals per game this season. ★★★★☆ Sherron Collins, 5-foot-10 sophomore guard Collins has to prove he is a starter immediately. One of the three guards' minutes will decrease when Brandon Rush gets back, and Collins has the most to prove because he's the youngest. PRESIDENT M. A. B. A. R. ★★★★★ Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Let's see, Arthur is projected as the No. 4 pick in the draft right now according to NBADraft.net. Could he play his way to No. 1? ★★★★★ TITANIUM Kaun scored a career-high 25 points against Idaho State in November 2005. That game was on a Friday, too. Watch out for Kaun, the master of November Fridays. Sasha Kaun, 6-foot-11 senior center ★★★ ☆☆ THE SIXTH MAN Louisiana Monroe BASKETBALL 0-0 Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward Jackson gets the nod in this spot after a scoreless game from BURGESS Rodrick Stewart last time out. Jackson's smaller size might be the only thing that keeps him from the starting lineup this season. ★★★☆ This game isn't Oral Roberts redux, and Louisiana Monroe's Sei Paye isn't the next Marchello Vealy. Fans won't forget last year's loss to Oral Roberts or Vealy's 7-of-8 three-point shooting from that game for a while. The Warhawks are at least as good as the Eagles were last year. Kansas can make an early statement about how it's going to approach the nonconference portion of the season tonight by not taking this team lightly. ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF... Mark Dent THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE ★★☆☆ Jonas Brown, 6-foot-3 senior guard Johnson basked, 8-10-foot 3-season guard The Houston native transferred from Angellina Community College before last season and registered 12.3 points per game playing in the Warhawks' four-guard lineup. Brown led Louisiana Monroe with 20 points, including 5-10 shooting from beyond the arc, against Millsaps College on Tuesday. M. Z Tony Hooper, 5-foot-11 junior guard Tony Hooper, 5-foot-11 Junior guard Hooper is an All-Conference caliber player in the Sun Belt. The Aldine, Texas, native led Louisiana Monroe with 15.4 points per game last season. Matching up with Sheron Collins, Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson should give Hooper a venue to showcase his talents. ★★★★☆ Brandon Roberts, 6' sophomore guard Roberts will handle most of the point guard duties for Louisiana Monroe. He can score — he averaged 9.7 points per game last year — but his main job is to distribute the basketball to Hooper, Brown and Brasher. Lance Brasher, 6-foot-2 senior guard ★★★☆★ ALEXANDER SMITH Lance Brasher, 6-foot-2 senior guard Brasher's nickname is "Bulldog" because despite being 6'2, he is often asked to guard the opposing team's power forward. Brasher's "bulldog" status will be tested against Kansas, when he is forced to guard Darrell Arthur, Sasha Kaun and Damell Jackson. ★★★☆★★ Afam Nweke, 6-foot-7 junior forward The lone forward in the starting lineup, Nweke averaged 5.1 points per game and 6.9 rebounds per game last season. Nweke's not much of a scoring threat — the Warhawks rely on their guards for that — but Nweke's needs to play bigger than his 6-foot-7 frame against Kansas. 1976 ★★★☆★★ MUNICIPAL COUNCIL THE SIXTH MAN Jordan Payne, 6-foot-3 senior guard Payne was one of the most productive bench players in the nation last year averaging 12.4 points per game in the sixth man role. He's capable of going off-he had 29 points against Western Kent 2013-07-09 Western Kentucky last year - and he shot better than 40 percent from three-point range. M ★★★ ☆☆ -Rustin Dodd PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF... ULM's four-guard lineup of Tony Hooper, Lancer Brasher, Jonas Brown and Brandon Roberts keeps the game close late in the second half. Yes, it could happen. Louisiana Monroe has all five starters returning from a team that almost won the Sun Belt Conference, if it's close late in the game, the Warhawks could win. The four guards, especially Hooper, are experienced and know how to win in late-game situations. This game might be trouble if Kansas doesn't get up by double digits at halftime. Mario Chalmers ULM TIP-OFF WHAT'S AT STAKE This is the first regular season game for both teams. Louisiana Monroe defeated Millsaps College 93-58 on Tuesday in its only exhibition game. The Warhawks, a member of the Sun Belt Conference, finished 18-14 last season, and the Sun Belt coaches picked Louisiana Monroe to finish first in the Sun Belt West division. But they only have one starter taller than 6-foot-7, and the Warhawks started four guards under 6-foot-3 against Millsaps. Going on the road and playing your first regular season game against No. 4 Kansas is a tough task, but the Jayhawks are the heavy favorite so the Warhawks have nothing to lose. WHO TO WATCH Tony Hooper, a 5'11" junior guard from Houston, has a fantastic basketball name. He also has the game to back it up. Hooper led the Warhawks last season, averaging 15.4 points per game as a sophomore. M. EVERETT Hooper while shooting better than 40 percent from the floor and 34 percent from behind the three-point line. The Sun Belt coaches named Hooper to the Preseason All-Sun Belt Conference Second Team. QUESTION MARK How will Louisiana Monroe match up with Darrell Arthur and the rest of Kansas' post players? Louisiana Monroe junior forward Afarm Nweke stands 6-foot-7. The rest of the Warhawk's starters stand 6-foot-3 and below. Nweke will have to guard either Arthur or Sasha Kaun, leaving one of the other Louisiana Monroe guards stuck on either the 6-foot-9 Arthur or the 6-foot-11 Kaun. The small guard line-up could work in the Warhawk favor — Kaun or Arthur will have to start out defensively on a guard — but Kansas should be able to dominate the glass and pound it inside to whomever ends up with the size advantage. HEARYE. HEARYE "Hopefully we will be prepared by the time we get out there. They are ranked four in the country. They are a very good basketball team and it is on the road. Winning anywhere on the road is tough. I told our guys earlier you have to respect everybody you play and be afraid of no one."

Sophomore guard Kelly Kohn looks for an open player during Thursday night's game against Emporia State at Allen Fieldhouse. The Javhawks won in overtime 74-64 With McCray hammering her way to a game-high 36 points, the Jayhawks hung on for a thrilling 74-64 overtime victory. For the next six minutes, though, the Jayhawks failed to score. And when their offense shut down so did their defense, allowing the Hornets to climb back into the game. "She was amazing," freshman forward Nicollette Smith said. "There was no way we were going to get beat." Kansas opened the game on fire, clicking on offense and defense and opening a 23-5 lead 10 minutes into the contest. The jayhawks clung to a five-point halftime lead. McCray came out and scored the team's first six points of the second half. everyone's not there," said McCray. "felt like tonight was my time."

McCrae made the big shots, but it was Smith who made a clutch defensive steal with 30 seconds left in regulation to stop a Hornet possession. Kansas missed its last-second regulation shot, but it wouldn't matter as McCray dominated the overtime period, scoring 13 of the Jayhawks' 19 points. McCray was the only Kansas player with double-digit points. She also added nine rebounds. "There are some times when you feel that you need to step up because basketball notes FREE THROWS CAREER HIGH FOR MCCRAY Kansas struggled at the line, making it difficult to pull away from a scrappy Emporia State squad. The Jayhawks made only six of 19 free throws to shoot 46 percent from the charity stripe. Adding to the frustration was an inability to convert the front end of one-and-ones in the second half as the Hornets gradually chipped away at the lead. Sophomore forward Danielle McCray went off for almost half of Kansas' points as Emporia State found it impossible to stop her array of offensive weapons. McCray used a variety of dribble drives, mid-range jump shots and three-pointers to score 36 of the Jayhawks' 74 points. McCray was the difference in overtime as well, scoring 13 straight points.

Emporia State didn't lack for support as a healthy group of fans traveled the 83 miles between Emporia and Lawrence to support the Hornets. Gold and black-clad supporters behind the Emporia State bench in sections 15 and 16 were especially vocal during the second half as the deficit that was once as much as 18 gradually dwindled away in the final minutes. SLOPPY PLAY of dominant play by Kansas, neither team was especially efficient in the offensive end. Kansas shot 40 percent from the field while Emporia State managed to make 30 percent of its shots. Consistent possession was also elusive as the two teams combined to turn the ball over 48 times to 25 assists for an assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly 2-to-1.

After a road victory at Kansas State, Big 12 country started taking notice. Two more victories away from Lwrence put the Jayhawks on the national radar.

The Jayhawks' most celebrated defensive player will be naked up against the Cowboys' most potent weapon, wide receiver Adarius Bowman. Bowman blew past the Kansas Talib LAKEBROOK secondary for 300 receiving yards last season, and Talib will be the player responsible for stopping the 6-foot-4 monster of a receiver. QUESTION MARKS >> Can Kansas hinder Oklahoma State's aerial attack? Oklahoma State quarterback Zee Robinson has two of the best targets in the Big 12 in Bowman and 6-foot-6, 260-pound tight end Brandon Pettigrew. Shutting down the Cowboys' receivers could be the key to containing the offense. Will the Jayhawks ignore the hype? All week long, the spotlight has shined squerely on Kansas — 76 points tends to raise some eyebrows. The Jayhawks will need to set aside talk of a BCS bowl and National Championship possibilities to focus on a formidable and underrated Oklahoma State team.

OKLAHOMA STATE 7 p.m. Saturday, Stillwater, Okla. Kansas 9-0,5-0 Big 12 Conference OFFENSE It's a shame the Kansas offense can't earn more than five stars, because its performance against Nebraska was impressive enough to turn the heads of the national media and rewrite the program's history books. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing is riding a 139-pass attempt, four-game streak without an interception. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson has topped 100 rushing yards in two straight contests. Freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe's seven touchdown receptions put him one short of the single-season school record. Gone are the days of offensive ineptitude at Memorial Stadium. ★★★★★ DEFENSE The defense experienced its first truly poor stretch of the season last weekend against Nebraska when Cornhusker quarterback Joe Ganz threw for 266 yards in the first half. But the struggles weren't much of an issue as the defense forced four straight turnovers and held Nebraska to 149 passing yards after halftime. In addition to star junior comeback Agib Talib and senior defensive tackle James McClinton, a supporting cast of consistent contributors is emerging. The unsung heroes of the defense include sophomore safety Justin Thornton, who leads the team in interceptions, and junior linebacker James Holt, who has 67 tackles this season. ★★★★ SPECIAL TEAMS First, the good news: Junior wide receiver Marcus Herford has carved a niche for himself as a kick returner, and his 31.8 yards per return ranks fifth in the nation and first in the Big 12 Conference. A poor performance at Texas Äm discounted, senior kicker Scott Webb has provided consistency on both kickoffs and field. goals. Second, the bad news: Senior punter Kyle Tucker's performance has reeked of inconsistency all season. He is averaging just 37.7 yards per punt. Sophomore wide receiver Anthony Webb has not proven himself as a punt returner because of a strange aversion to making the fair catch signal. ★★★☆★ With every victory, the 2007 Kansas team further cements itself as one of the finest in school history and grabs more national headlines. Ranked No.4 in the BCS rankings and No.5 in all three polls, the Jayhawks are legitimate challengers for a BCS bowl berth and perhaps a spot in the National Championship game. It's not every season—or decade—that Kansas football is the subject of USA Today's top sports story. MOMENTUM ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Oklahoma State 3-2,5-4 Big 12 Conference This week coach Mangino earned a spot on the watch lists for two national coaching awards alongside coaching legends such as Oklahoma's Bob Stoops and Alabama's Nick Saban. Considering the drastic turnaround Mangino has engineered during his five-plus seasons at Kansas, his name certainly deserves mention in that elite group. His assistant coaches aren't bad, either. Defensive coordinator Bill Young has built the Big 12's best defense out of players discarded by more prestigious programs, and offensive coordinator Ed Warinner's schemes helped put 76 points on the scoreboard last weekend. ★ The Oklahoma State offense didn't exactly pick up where it left off last season at the beginning of the year. It sputtered in losses to Georgia and Troy. But now, the Cowboy offence is better than ever. Junior quarterback Zac Robinson threw for a school-record 430 yards last week and added 56 more yards on the ground. Senior running back Dantrell Savage leads the Big 12 Conference in rushing with 136 yards per game in conference play. Savage runs through arm tackles, speeds past defenders and causes genuine headaches for opposing coaches. The two main cogs of the machine-like Cowboy passing game are senior wide receiver Adarius Bowman and Junior tight end Brandon Pettigre. Led by the left side of David Koening and Russel Okung, the Cowboy offensive line is possibly the Big 12's best. They are third in the nation in sacks allowed and Jumpstart the running game with a strong push. COACHING ★★★☆★★ OFFENSE The most famous band from Stillwater, Okla., is the All American Rejects. Well, at least being rejects implies the band members were thought about. The Cowboy defense certainly doesn't have any players good enough to even be considered for the All-America team. The passing defense is among the worst in the nation as it allows an average of more than 300 passing yards per game. The linebackers have been formidable, but the Cowboys will likely play without starting middle linebacker Chris Collins on Saturday. Collins has spent the week at home in Texas dealing with legal issues. Sophomore outside linebacker Patrick Lavine, the Cowboy's leading tackler, is guaranteed to be at Boone Pickens Stadium. Lavine is one of the better linebackers in the Big 12, but Kansas will likely make an effort to get a body on him. Although his pass coverage skills are less than impressive, junior defensive back Jacole Lacey is an interception threat. DEFENSE If the Jayhawk freshman not st bre Ju on cons KANSAS 10 10 If the Jayhawks let perish Cox loose, they'll pay. Cox made the freshman All-America team last year as a kick returner. He's freshman All-America team last year as a kick returner. He's not strong enough to break a lot of tackles but can use breakaway speed once he gets into the open field. Junior kicker Jason Ricks is 8-for-14 on the year on field goal attempts. Matt Fodge averages a consistent 40 yards per punt ★★★☆☆ MOMENTUM The Cowboys crumbled under The Cowboys crumbled under pressure in the fourth quarter last week. They led the Longhorns by 21 but played no defense in the final 15 minutes, which led to a devastating defeat. But don't expect Oklahoma State to carry the hurt into a game against Kansas. Oklahoma State will be eager for a shot at one of the only undefeated teams left in the nation. The Cowboys have a lot to play for as they could conceivably still win the Big 12 South division and it's the seniors' last game at Boone Pickens Stadium. ★★★★ ★★★★ COACHING Coach Mike Gundy became the country's proudest 40-year old a month ago when his tirade against a reporter, where he infamously screamed "I'm a man, I'm 40!" raised concern. Gundy said. tion correctly, but his players responded to it.

It is Oklahoma State's final home game of the season. The Cowboys are 29-28-2 all-time against the Jayhawks and have won the past five games in the series.

When Kansas defensive coordinator Bill Young watched Oklahoma State game film this week, the player that stuck out Kerry Meier > in his mind was Pettigrew. He said the Cowboys were trying harder to incorporate the 6-foot-6, 260-pound tight end into the Pettiarew offense. Pettigrew's size creates obvious matchup problems for defenses. He gained a career-high 85 yards against Texas last week and caught a touchdown pass. --- Asher Fusco QUESTION MARKS » Will anyone have an Adarius Bowman-like game this year? The Cowboys defeated the Jayhawks last year because then-junior wide receiver Adarius Bowman had 300 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Kansas will make sure Bowman doesn't do it again. But the Cowboys will need someone to step up with a highlight-reel performance to upset the nation's fifth ranked team Saturday. Could it be Dantrell Savage? Zac Robinson? Can the defense create early turnovers? The Jayhawks rank second in the nation in turnover margin, and Todd Reesing has thrown 139 straight passes without an interception. The Kansas offense got into a deadly rhythm last week against Nebraska. Oklahoma State must make sure it doesn't happen again.

Spotlight on Organizations editor@kansan.com 907 BY AMRUTA BHADKAMKAR Amitabha Buddhist Association The Amitabha Buddhist Association, a student organization on campus, allows its members to practice meditation and spiritualism but doesn't teach about any particular religious views. Adam Schaumburg, Prairie Village senior and the president of the group, said the group was designed to further people's practice with meditation, and specifically chanting meditation. He said that students with any religious views could join. "I believe it is a process to uncover more about oneself and be able to keep one's mind sharp and strong." Schaumburg said. "We call it the Amitabha Buddhist Association because the original founders of the group have respectfully mimicked the meditation process from Taiwan known as the Pureland School of Buddism." The association's meetings start with walking meditation and then chanting meditation for a total of one hour of meditation. Schaumburg said members of the group usually stayed after meetings to discuss individual progress or to socialize. Major topics of discussion revolve around how to handle stress in everyday life, how to actually enjoy the moment and how to get fulfillment in their lives. "I was fortunate to stumble upon The group is open to anyone and meets at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays in the Olympian Room in the Burge Union. the group while I was in high school visiting my brother," Schaumburg said.

The judge on Friday also ordered Thomas Mariotti, 37, to repay more than $691,000 to his former employer and to Tall Oaks Country Club, one of the affected accounts.

MEMORIAL Wallace Johnson service to be held today in Union Today, University of Kansas students will have a chance to share stories about a KU professor who was famous for his stories. A memorial service will be held on campus today for Wallace "Wally" Johnson, a professor in the department of east Asian language and culture who was best known for his class about myths and legends of eastern Asia. Sanae Eda, assistant professor in east Asian language and culture, said that the service was meant to be upbeat and would include some of Johnson's favorite music. She said it was an opportunity for KU students, faculty and staff to reflect on Johnson's life.

KU students will bike, recycle and fry chicken for Energy Awareness Week, which kicks off today. Lauren Licata, Lenexa senior and president of the Alternative Energy Society, said that the group, along with several other student organizations, will host events throughout the week to help educate KU students about environmental causes. "We wanted to make our presence known on campus," Licata said. Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, said this was the first time multiple student groups had come together for a whole week of environmental awareness. He said the week would allow environmental awareness to be reinforced "There are small things that everyone can do to make a difference," Severin said. Severin said he was especially excited for the reusable bag program. Today, reusable bags containing information about the environment and coupons to Lawrence businesses will be passed out around campus. Severin said that, in addition to serving the environment, the program also helped local businesses. Highlights of the week also include a showing of the film "Kilowatt Ours" on Tuesday and a roundtable discussion on Wednesday. Recycling services will be offered on campus Thursday at Memorial Stadium and Friday at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. On Friday, the Alternative Energy Society will fry chicken for KU students on Wescoe Beach to collect vegetable oil and to turn it into biodiesel fuel. Licata said that it was important for KU students to learn what they could do to help the environment Edited by Matt Erickson "I think every generation has an issue. This is ours," Licata said.

The equipment was bound for Fort Lewis, an Army base near Olympia. Protesters arrested after blocking Army shipments OLYMPIA, Wash. — At least a dozen people were arrested as demonstrators rallied to protest military cargo shipments arriving from Iraq at the port in the state capital. Nine protesters were arrested Saturday for investigation of violating the city's pedestrian interference ordinance, but all were later released without being cited, said police Sgt. Ken Carlson. -Sarah Neff At least three people were arrested at that location, and at least nine more were arrested when they tried to block an entrance to Interstate 5. The protest was part of a week of demonstrations by Olympia Port Militarization Resistance, which has protested the port's use by the USNS Brittin, which landed Monday to unload equipment that was used in Iraq.

Because the recent decision by the Sebelius Administration means Kansas will import more natural gas from countries like Russia, Venezuela, and Iran. An element for effectiveness increases in Kansas level across the country, our state has the opportunity to tie a leader in this fight to ensure our acceptance on foreign energy by allowing America's most abundant fuel resource — clean coal. uninterrupted clean coal. intermittent natural gas Administration rejected a plan to build a much-needed, coal-fueled power plant near historic City of Detroit. The implications of this decision—higher electric bills, lost economic activity, and reduced energy activity—will affect Kansas residents to come. sufficient new, need generation coal-fueled plants. Kansas will be capable to high-priced natural gas, allowing hostile foreign countries to control the energy policy of Kansas and America. We are already having little hustle to survive of these same countries for oil. The situation is simple...clean coal from Middle America versus expensive gas from the Middle East. FACT: Natural gas prices have more than tripled since 1999. FACT: Domestic natural gas production is flat and well below peak production levels. Liquefied Natural Gas imports have risen 44 percent this year alone. FACT: Government experts predict that growth in natural gas demand will have to be met by imports - much of it coming from hostile countries in unstable parts of the world. FACT: The United States has enough coal for the next 250 years, and it's cleaner than ever before. THE PERMIT TO BUILD A BIG, CO2-EMITTING, 1400-MEGAWATT, COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT AT HOLCOMB WAS DENIED IN A RECENT DECISION BY GOVERNOR SEBELIUS' ADMINISTRATION TO SPARE THE AIR KANSANS BREATHE. THE COURAGEOUS ACTION HAS REAPED A BUMPER CROP OF UNTRUTHS. WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAR THE AIR FACT: Without new coal-fueled plants in our state, experts predict that electric bills will skyrocket and Kansans will be more dependent than ever on hostile foreign energy sources. Call your state legislators today at 1-800-432-3924 and tell them our state's electricity must come from clean, affordable, reliable coal - America's energy future.

CLEAN U.S. NATURAL GAS IS ABUNDANT KNOW YOUR POWER TO KNOW THE TRUTH KANSAS HAS NO NEED TO IMPORT IT. HERE, WE REPRINT AND REFUTE THE CONTENT OF A RECENT AD PRODUCED BY THE COAL FOLKS ... CLAIM #1: "Why are these men smiling? (Russia's Putin, Venezuela's Chavez and Iran's Ahmadinejad) Because the recent decision by the Sebelius Administration means Kansas will import more natural gas from countries like Russia, Venezuela and Iran." FALSE. Zero natural gas would be (or ever has been) imported from Russia, Venezuela or Iran.America has NEVER imported natural gas from these countries.Less than 1% of the natural gas consumed in this country comes from any source beyond North America. Kansas produces more gas than it uses and exports much of it as a valuable source of jobs and tax payments. CLAIM #2:"As demand for electricity increases in Kansas and across the country, our state has the opportunity to be a leader in the fight to reduce our reliance on foreign energy by utilizing America's most abundant fuel resource - clean coal." ALL FALSE, for the following reasons: "Reduce our reliance on foreign energy"? Rejecting coal will NOT increase our reliance on foreign energy if we stick with American energy sources like natural gas, wind and solar. By turning away from coal, Kansas can be a leader not just in using American energy, but clean energy that doesn't degrade health, the environment and economic development with pollution. American. Abundant. Natural gas is as American as coal is (see #1)- and abundant - but adds the profound advantage of being clean, with half the carbon emissions of coal and virtually no mercury or particulates. Coal emits a lot of both. The vast abundance of natural gas has just begun to be understood. Recent studies confirm North America has a 120-year supply. Source: Potential Supply of Natural Gas in the U.S., Golden, CO, Sept 2007; Canadian Potential Gas Agency, Dec. 2006. Proved natural gas reserves are at their highest levels in 30 years. Source: LNG Intelligence Nov. 7, 2007. There is no such product as so-called "clean coal." The term is misleading. Look at coal's long list of pollutants and see if you think it's "clean." In fact, "clean coal" is only a GOAL, not a reality. A recent MIT study, "The Future of Coal," found cleaner coal technologies need more than 10 years of "research development and demonstration" before they'll be ready to use. Risky, so-called clean coal technology would require pumping astounding quantities of liquefied carbon dioxide into Kansas soil, a bad idea. CLAIM #3: "Unfortunately, the Sebelius Administration rejected a plan to build a much-needed, coalfueled power plant near Holcomb. The implications of this decision - higher electric bills, lost economic activity and reduced energy security - will affect Kansas for years to come." The plant rejection was fortunate and the implications described are ALL FALSE: "A much-needed plant" to avoid "lost economic activity"? FALSE. Western Kansas deserves jobs that don't jeopardize the health and well-being of its citizens Remember, as soon as construction is over, most of the jobs are gone but the pollution would burden generations of Kansans, forever. A gas-fired plant should be built and linked to Kansas wind power. That's an economic plan with a future. "Higher electric bills"? In fact, those will result from choosing coal. "Since December 2003, Powder River Basin coal prices have shown a 300% increase and coal transportation costs have been no less volatile." Source: 2007 UtiliPoint International, Inc. Add coal pollution's well-documented harm to health and the medical care it requires. Add the price of building coal plants, which is about four times the cost of a natural gas plant. And the carbon pollution taxes we all know are imminent will just add to the tab. Meanwhile, natural gas prices have increased only about 46% in the past five years - less than oil (up 143%), steel (up 150%), milk (up 100%) and many other commodities. "Reduced energy security"? FALSE. Again, the natural gas Americans use is American. (For more, see #1 and #2.) CLAIM #4:"Without the new, next-generation coalfueled plants, Kansans will be captive to high-priced natural gas, allowing hostile foreign countries to control the energy policy of Kansas and America. We are already being held hostage to some of these countries for oil." ALL FALSE, for the following reasons: "New, next-generation" coal plants? If the Know Your Power Kansas is a coalition funded by Chesapeake Energy Corporation. proposed plant were built, Kansans would still be without a "next-generation" model - because the technology doesn't yet exist. For the foreseeable future, it's risky, experimental and utterly unaffordable (see #3). "High-priced"? FALSE. (That's the pot calling the kettle black!) We now know the old "coal is cheap" claim is wrong because of the high cost of pollution and the high cost of building coal plants (Holcomb's price at $3.5 billion would be paid by Kansans and would probably be much higher). Meanwhile, natural gas is a clean-burning, allAmerican bargain. No "hostile foreign country" needed. Plus, less heart and lung disease, asthma and other serious pollution-caused diseases. CLAIM #5: "The choice is simple ... clean coal from Middle America versus expensive gas from the Middle East." FALSE: None of Kansas' natural gas comes from the countries named in the ad. In fact, more than 99% of the natural gas Americans use comes from North America. (See #1.) Do not be misled on this important fact! CLAIM #6: "Natural gas prices have more than tripled since 1999." TRUE: However, coal has also demonstrated that it is not immune to higher prices, increasing 300% during the past few years, and prices are still rising (see #4). On a BTU-equivalent basis, natural gas prices are roughly 50% of oil. CLAIM #7: "Domestic natural gas production is flat and well below peak production levels. Liquefied Natural Gas imports have risen 44% this year alone." FALSE: U.S. natural gas production rose by 2.5% in 2006 (1.25 billion cubic feet a day) and 2007 production is likely to be even higher.Potential gas reserves in the U.S. are up by 17% over two years ago. Most of the new production is coming from the Mid- Continent region, which includes Kansas. CLAIM #8: "Government experts predict that growth in natural gas demand will have to be met by imports - much of it coming from hostile countries in unstable parts of the world." FALSE: Again, more than 99% of the natural gas Americans use comes from North America. See "abundant supply" discussion above. (Identify your "government experts," we're glad to get them the facts.) CLAIM #9:"The U.S. has enough coal for the next 250 years, and it's cleaner than ever before." FALSE: Coal is NOT clean and "cleaner than ever before" is an empty claim. There is no proven technology to remove carbon, mercury, particulates or other pollutants from coal emissions. (See the MIT study, #2.) The DOE Clean Coal Technology Roadmap defines the future benefit of "clean coal" as being near-zero CO2 plants, but the proposed Holcomb plant would emit 10 million tons of CO2 each year - making it one of the largest polluters in Kansas. [source. Sierra Club fact sheet] http://www.kansas.sierraclub.org/Wind/FactSheet-Myth-vs-Facts.pdf] [Source: Sierra Club fact sheet: CLAIM #10: "Without new coal-fueled plants in our state, experts predict that electric bills will skyrocket and Kansans will be more dependent than ever on hostile, foreign energy sources." FALSE: Kansas would only receive 15% of the 1400 megawatts of power the proposed coal-fueled plant at Holcomb would generate (210 MW), because 85% of its output would go out of state. Kansans, though, would be stuck with 100% of the plant's pollution! It would be far wiser, cheaper and more environmentally friendly to build a natural gas/wind power system for that 210 MW of capacity that Kansas needs.

BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com Move over, Heidi Klum. Student Union Activities will hold its own Project Runway at 7 p.m. Tuesday night in the Kansas Union Ballroom, giving five student designers an opportunity to show off their duds. Mychael Knight, a contestant from the third season of the Bravo television show of the same name, will serve as a guest judge. Molly Gaeckle, Sioux Falls, S.D., sophomore and SUA student coordinator of the event, said SUA's first Project Runway event, last year, was a big success and that having Knight serve as guest host and judge was easy to do. "Mychael was the fan favorite on the season he was on the show," Gaeckle said. "We just talked to his agent, and he agreed to be a part of it, so that was exciting." Gaeckle said the competition began almost nine months ago when a group of designers were put through a preliminary round, in which contestants were narrowed to five student designers. The winning designer will receive a display of his or her work at a downtown clothing store, a free subscription to Vogue magazine and a $200 check. Tuesday night, contestants will will also talk and answer question Tuesday night have three challenges and present 15 garments to the audience and judges. The other judges will be Julie Kessinger, the winner of last year's SUA competition, and Madison Spencer, a graduate teaching "Mychael was the fan favorite on the season he was on the show. We just talked to his agent, and he agreed to be a part of it, so that was exciting." MOLLY GAECKLE Sioux Falls, S.D., sophomore assistant in art and design. Knight answer questions from the audience for thirty minutes. because she was Betsy Hatch, Kansas City, Kan., senior and a finalist in the Project Runway event, said her preparation for the competition had gone well, but it was also nerve-racking to get a response from the judges and audience about her pieces. She said Knight's serving as a judge added to the pressure. "He is a designer, and he's been through it, so there's no excuses," Hatch said. "It's his job; he's an expert. So it's intimidating but also exhilarating." Tickets for Project Runway are free for all students. Call (785) 864- SHOW to get tickets or visit the SUA office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. Edited by Matt Erickson Despite having more donors, University receives less money CAMPUS KU Endowment allows preference-based donations BY COURTNEY CONDRON ccondron@kansan.com Lee Young, a former KU professor, loved teaching at the University of Kansas. Now, through the KU Endowment Association, he established the Lee Young Scholarship to benefit students. Young was one of the 43,000 alumni and friends of the University that donated to KU Endowment during the 2007 fiscal year, from July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2007. This was a record number of donors for the University, although the total amount donated decreased from $94.4 million in fiscal year 2006 to $94.3 million in 2007. KU Endowment allows donors to choose what they want their money to be used for. They can donate to specific schools within the University, student scholarships, the Chancellor's Club or anything else they prefer. Rosita McCoy, senior vice president Dale Seuferling, president of KU Endowment, said, "Retaining donors is important because not only do they give a gift, but they establish a relationship with the University, and maybe, they will give an even larger donation in the future." of communications for KU Endowment, said an overwhelming majority of donors restricted their money to be used in areas of their choice. Bill Collier, clinical associate professor at the KU School of Medicine in Wichita, and his wife, Becky Collier, are both KU alum ni. They have donated to the fund every year since 1975, and they usually donate to the School of Education, from which Becky graduated, and the School of Medicine in scholarships, fellowships and awards. Seuferling said that students benefited directly because student support increased during the previous year and that students benefited indirectly through the ability to purchase new equipment, build new facilities and recruit good "We want to do something to help out the University and help people become educated in the field where they want to pursue careers." Wichita, where Bill works. BILL COLLIER University of Kansas alumnus "In a sense, it's gratitude for the education we got," Bill said. "We want to do something to help out the University and help people become educated in the field where they want to pursue careers." Money that supports students increased from $23 million in fiscal year 2006 to $24.3 million, and support for faculty grew from $16.9 million to $20.8 million. The main ways students benefit from KU Endowment are through faculty. C i n d y Maude is president of Callahan Creek, a marketing communications agency based in Lawrence. Her company donated to KU Endowment to support the education of potential employees. The company donated to the School of Journalism and the School of Fine Arts. "It's important that we continue to build on the excellence in programs at KU," Maude said. "From a company standpoint, it's important to support the students in the programs that are part of our industry, to continue to have the great quality of students coming out of KU." Donations

THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANSAN MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2007 NEWS 7A NATIONAL We PU ROWAN ASSOCIATED PRESS Stepfather David Spears and his friend Chris Collins were charged with first degree murder, forcible rape and statutory rape in the death of 9-year-old Rowan Ford. Police said both men raided the girl before one man stranded her. Stepfather charged with murder of girl ASSOCIATED PRESS CASSVILLE, Mo. — Two men were charged Saturday with murder and rape in the death of a 9-year-old girl whose body was found the day before in a hillside cave in southwest Missouri. Barry County prosecutors charged the girl's 24-year-old stepfather, David Spears, and his friend, Chris Collings, 32, with one count each of first-degree murder, forcible rape and statutory rape in the death of Rowan Ford. Rowan's body was found Friday in a cave in a remote part of McDonald County, about 10 miles south of the village of Stella, where she lived with her mother and David Spears. Her disappearance last weekend led to an intensive search by dozens of officers from three counties and 50 FBI agents and specialists. Barry County Sheriff Mick Epperly said Collings confessed to authorities on Friday. Based in part on Collings' statement, the affidavit Everson sent to the prosecutor alleges that the men took Rowan from her home to a camping trailer where Collings lived in Barry County, Epperly said. There, Epperly said, both men raped Rowan and one of them then strangled her with a cord. Epperly did not say which one of the men strangled the girl. Collings' brother, Greg Horton, 44, said he didn't believe the allegations. "I don't believe he could do something like this. He has three kids of his own," Horton said. Collings' children are all younger than 10 and live in Arkansas with their mother, who is separated from Collings, Horton said. Collings was being held in Barry County jail. Epperly said he didn't know if Collings had an attorney. Myrna Spears. David Spears' mother, said Saturday her son did not have a lawyer. He was being held in Newton county jail. David Spears initially told investigators he had gone out with friends the night of Nov. 2, leaving Rowan alone after she fell asleep. He said he returned around midnight but did not check on the girl, authorities said. Authorities said he later acknowledged he had gone out a second time, around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 3, after calling his mother and asking to borrow her sport utility vehicle. His mother has said she watched TV but did not check on Rowan while she waited for Spears to return. He was gone for 5 1/2 hours. Spears previously said that it was wrong for him to leave the girl alone and that he initially withheld some information about his whereabouts that night because he was afraid authorities would suspect him in her disappearance. Colleen and David Spears reported Rowan missing about 6:50 p.m. on Nov. 3, after spending much of the day looking for the girl at the homes of acquaintances where they thought she might have gone. NATIONAL Plates reveal 'vain Virginians Vehicle vanity tags most popular in Virginia, least in Texas ASSOCIATED PRESS RICHMOND, Va. URSOVAIN Virginia. You, too, New Hampshire, Illinois, Nevada and Montana. A state-by-state survey of the popularity of vanity license plates has found that car and truck owners in Virginia are the vainest of them all. Of the 9.3 million personalized plates on the roads of America, about one in 10 are in Virginia, according to rankings provided to The Associated Press by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. That's 16 percent of the plates issued by Virginia. New Hampshire came in second with nearly 14 percent. Illinois had about 13.4 percent, but that amounted to nearly 1.3 million plates, the most of any state. "If you've got 9.3 million people across the U.S. sporting vanity plates, you've got a cultural phenomenon," AAM spokesman Jason King said. Mechanicsville. "You get to know something about the person in front of you or who passes you." Lonce — author of the upcoming book "LCNS2ROM — License to Roam: Vanity Plates and the Stories they Tell" — worked with AAMVA to survey vehicle licensing agencies in each state. Stefan Lonce calls it "minimalist poetry in motion" — telling a story in eight or fewer characters. "I think a lot of people have stories to tell and they really want pieces of those stories out there," said Lonce, who admits he initially thought it was silly for people to spend extra money to personalize their license plates. Ion Bogdan Vasi, an assistant sociology professor at Columbia University, calls people who personalize their plates "the narcissistic-materialist poets of the iGenera- "It's a personality thing. You get to know something about the person in front of you or who passes you." Texas had the fewest, with only about a half percent of drivers personalizing their plates.

Kathy Carmichael drives around with the plate COFENUT, although she is down from eight to 10 cups of java a day to just three. "Most people buy personalized plates simply because they want to tell the world they are special." Vasi said in an e-mail. "They wrote an ode to themselves and they want to share it with everybody on the highway." Some plates are cryptic, like Brittany Diaz' EN PWANT. It's a reminder of the summer when she studied ballet in New York and her French teacher pronounced the "en pointe" style of dance as "en pwant." entertained because pwant is just a funny thing to say," said Diaz, 17, of Midlothian.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - America's obesity epidemic and global warming might not seem to have much in common. But public health experts suggest people can attack them both. by cutting calories and carbon dioxide at the same time. How? Get out of your car and walk or bike half an hour a day instead of driving. And while you're at it, eat less red meat. That's how unlikely to happen. One numberscrunching scientist calculates that if all Americans between 10 and 74 walked just half an hour a day instead of driving, they would cut the annual U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas Americans can simultaneously save the planet and their health, say doctors and climate scientists. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is considering public promotion of the "co-benefits" of fighting global warming and obesity through everyday exercise. The payoffs are huge, although by 64 million tons. About 6.5 billion gallons of gasoline would be saved. And Americans would also shed more than 3 billion pounds overall, according to these calculations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is considering public promotion of the "co-benefits" of fighting global warming and obesity-related illnesses through everyday exercise, like walking to school or work, said Dr. Howard Frumkin, director of the CDC's National Center for Environmental Health. "A simple intervention like walking to school is a climate change intervention, an obesity intervention, a diabetes intervention, a safety intervention," Frumkin told The Associated Press. "That's the sweet spot." Climate change is a deadly and worsening public health issue, said Frumkin and other experts. The World Health Organization estimated that 160,000 people died in 2000 from malaria, diarrhea, malnutrition and drownings from floods — problems that public health and climate scientists contend were worsened by global warming. Officials predict that in the future those numbers will be higher T he American Public Health Association, which will highlight the health problems of global warming in April, is seeking to connect obesity and climate change solutions, said executive director Dr. Georges Benjamin. The key is getting people out of the car, Patz and Frumkin told the "This may present the greatest public health opportunity that we've had in a century." JONATHAN PATZ President International Association for Ecology and Health "This may present the greatest public health opportunity that we've had in a century" said University of Wisconsin health sciences professor Jonathan Patz, president of the International Association for Ecology and Health.

Max Rinkel 》 BOX OFFICE Bugs beat drugs in weekend rematch BY DAVID GERMAIN ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Jerry Seinfeld turned more honey into money as his animated comedy "Bee Movie" buzzed to the top of the box office in its second weekend. "American Gangster," starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, was a strong No. 2 with $24.3 million in sales, lifting its total to $80.7 million. The DreamWorks-Paramount flick, which had debuted at No. 2 behind Universal's "American Gangster" the previous weekend, packed in family crowds to pull in $26 million, raising its total to $72.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. "We don't often see a movie start out in the No. 2 position then move up to No. 1, said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "It just shows how strong the word of mouth is on this movie and that families are really enjoying it." Adult audiences had put "American Gangster" ahead on Friday, but weekend matinee crowds lifted "Bee Movie" to the top spot. "Bee Movie" is positioned well for Thanksgiving next week, when children will be out of school. "This is terrific playing time for this movie," said Anne Globe, head of marketing for DreamWorks. Two of Hollywood's biggest cultural icons — Santa and Tom Cruise — had to settle for also ran debut the black-sheep brother of Santa (Paul Giamatti), opened at No. 3 with $19.2 million, on par with last November's $19.5 million debut of Tim Allen's holiday tale "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause." The Warner Bros. family comedy "Fred Claus" with Vince Vaughn as Cruise's "Lions for Lambs," co-starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in a drama interlocking three stories in the war on terror, premiered at No. 4 with $6.7 million. Joel and Ethan Coen's crime tale "No Country for Old Men" got off to a great start in limited release, taking in $1.2 million in just 28 theaters. Summit Entertainment's "P2", a thriller about a woman trapped in a parking garage and terrorized by the attendant on Christmas Eve, opened at No. 8 with $2.2 million. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. 》 HOROSCOPES A far-reaching scheme finally falls into place, almost as if by magic, it isn't, though.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2007 PAGE 9A MOUNTAIN DEW AT MIDNIGHT THE DURBIN DISPATCH Parking during games a nightmare After donors and faculty have parked no spaces are left for anyone else JENNY HARTZ We've all gotten the pink slip of doom. You see it sitting there with your name on it, and your heart stops. Anger creeps up on you like a ninja in the night. You throw down the slip in frustration. There is no way in hell you are paying another $20 parking ticket. A lot of times, students bring the tickets upon themselves. Students constantly park in a lot where their parking permit is not valid. Of course, in our defense, it's hard to keep track of all the colored lots. How am I supposed to remember that the Yellow Lots open at four instead of the usual five, and that the Chartreuse Lot is only open during the winter solstice? After going to KU for the usual five to seven years, most students can figure out which lots their permits are valid for (about three for the 20,000 people who go to campus daily). However, no one has ever solved the mystery of parking during basketball games. Basically, any lot within a 10-mile radius of Allen Fieldhouse is closed for Williams Athletics. Scholarship Fund members and paying visitors. These lots, according the KU Parking and Transit Web site, are #19, 54, 72, 90, 125 and 127, and are also this week's lottery number picks. Also, the Allen Fieldhouse parking garage is closed to students. In addition, streets not In addition, streets not even on campus, like Emerald Drive, have signs saying no parking during basketball season. Okay, so what's a student to do? Read Harry Potter and figure out how to fly a broomstick? Luckily, the parking department has foreseen this problem. For faculty and staff with valid permits, lots #17, 33, 34, 35, 37, 41 and 61/62 (also the numbers you can call for a great time), are open. For students, lots #34 and 61/62, which are, are, yep, you guessed it, also the IQ scores of the parking department, are open. Now, I'm a writing major, but even I can do the math on this one. On campus, there are night classes, tests, SUA activities and other educational opportunities. Also, students are working at places like the library or the writing center. That is about, let's see, divide the dividend, carry over to the other column, multiply by pi, leave room for a margin of error, and you get, roughly, a lot of people. And all these students are supposed to fit in two parking lots, yet the staff gets twice that many lots? For every one teacher teaching class or giving a test, there are anywhere from 20 to over 200 students. Plus, these lots are open only to students with permits. Some students might normally walk or bike, but feel uncomfortable doing so at night or can't when the weather gets too cold. Others might take a bus whose route does not run that late. These students also failed their apparition tests. On the KU parking and transit Web site, they state the Park and Ride lots, way up by the Lied Center, are open. However, the buses from these lots only run on the half-hour. If your 7:00-9:50 p.m. class runs late or is so far from the bus stop that you miss the 10:00 bus, then you have to wait until 10:30 for the next bus. Plus, this means a student has to get to campus really early to get from the Park and Ride lot to their class on campus. I definitely think students should have priority over visitors when it comes to parking on campus. We are paying the University for an education, and sports should not stop this, no matter how exciting they may be. KU Parking needs to figure out a way it can open more lots to students with or without permits. Also, parking should give all campus employees special parking passes, so they can park near where they work and not get ticketed. The SRFC already does this for their employees. Well, I gotta go.

Like an earthquake, your stomach ruptures with the need for food. At first you think about making something from your kitchen. Ramen noodles, PB&J, left-over spaghetti from a week ago. But none of these options sound appealing, so you do what a majority of college students do. You go for fast food. ball game, and the effects are quickly catching up with us. The nation has become a culture of fast food eating and on-the-go living, ultimately creating "fat" America. However, as it turns out, fast food has some advantages in the short term. In all reality, people like the fact that it's "fast" and "convenient." Fast food is everywhere. It's available from the main corners of a busy street to the luxury of your own home. Fast food has become as American as a base- There is no other food that you can go out, pick up and have ready in a moment's notice. Ultimately, you don't have to cook, shop or even wash dishes. All you have to do is eat and throw away the trash. In the end, you are saving an immense amount of time. Nevertheless, there seems to be a direct link to obesity in America and fast food. A typical meal from a fast food restaurant, say a serving of fries and a cheeseburger, adds up to over 1,000 calories per serving. This is about half the recommended dietary allowance for an individual per day. In 2006, obesity levels of the average American had risen 25 percent since 2004. About one-third of all Americans over the age of 20 are considered obese. The risks involved with developing obesity are the main concern when looking at this problem spreading through our nation. Premature death resulting from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, fatty liver disease or cancer are all risks involved with becoming obese. However, being consciously aware of this problem is the first step in conquering the link to obesity and fast food. eating habits. Being a college student, I know how easy it is to grab something on the go and to fulfill the hunger need. I have fallen victim countless times to the world of fast food, because time between work, school and a life doesn't always supply enough to cook a meal. Fortunately, fast food has begun to add new items to value meals or other side items to encourage healthy Side salads, grilled chicken, fruit cups, yogurt and milk have all been added to menus as options for alternative eating. Consciously choosing healthier options at fast food restaurants only benefits your health in the long run, but just because these options exist does not make fast food a healthy diet. Loading on additional sides or adding lots of dressing to that salad only makes the calorie count go back up. Understanding that the decisions we make now will ultimately affect our future is something we must be aware of. If time is on your side, go home and make yourself dinner. If it's not, choose wisely when dining out. Your body will thank you in the future. Durbin is a Hays junior in journalism and English.

MAXRINKF SHARING STORIES AND FORGETTING TIME I'm on my way to class, now leave me alone You can use a variety of tricks to avoid awkward social situations on campus ANNIE SIMMERMON Saying hello is for losers. I find that I make my S I find that I make my time on campus as minimal as I possibly can these days. I go up for class and then get the heck out of Dodge as soon as my classes are over. propriate to say, "Hi" or not? Campus is just not a social scene for me. Walking to class isn't a time for me to catch up with old buds; it's simply a time to get from point A to point B. Seeing people you are acquainted with on the way to and from class is always so awkward. How do you know when it's ap- I mean, what if I only had one class with this girl in high school, or I think I met that guy at Louise's last week? But then they say, "Hi" and use your name and you feel like such a horrible person for questioning even giving them a wave. And then you feel worse because you can't ven remember the first letter of eir name. It a horrible conundrum that plagues my existence every single day. Luckily, I have found an easy way to remedy the situation by wearing my iPod very visibly any time I'm on campus. It's like an automatic "don't talk to me" symbol and even if someone says something to you, just point at your ear and mouth the words, "I can't hear you." The results are amazing, People walk right by and when you pretend that you can't hear them they just smile and nod like, "Oh yeah, I understand" and walk on. Then there are those times when you see someone you either don't really like or don't have the energy to be friendly with. It's times like these when fiddling with your iPod or pretending to be talking on the phone comes in handy. Or sometimes I'll see someone coming and I'll turn around and look pensively behind me like I forgot something or like I'm looking for someone. That trick's not so great though, because people can still yell out at you. It's better to have something in your ear so the possibility of a conversation is completely out of the question. Of coarse, if I see a good friend I will stop and have a chat, but seriously I know so many people that go to this school, whether it's from high school or sorority stuff or random introductions at bars and concerts. It's impossible to get away from the network of people I know, and sometimes I just don't want to talk to people, especially when I'm sober and trying to get my life together. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, because I think I've caught some people doing the above things to me, and to that I say, "Mad props!" I respect a person's decision to not talk to me on campus. You can ignore me all you want, take some phone conversations and look at your iPod right when I walk by. Instead of taking offense, I'll admire your antisocial introverted attitude and walk on with a smile. Simmermon is a Leawood senior in journalism. TALK TO US Erick R.

Faber, Hays junior, joined a small group of KU faculty and students to "slow down" from their busy weeks and participate in Ecumenical Christian Ministries' "Silent Saturday." "We're around people all the time," Faber said. "To be in an environment that is this calming, it gives me time to concentrate on myself." Participants gathered at noon Saturday at the ECM and worked on homework, knitted, read or even slept. The only requirement was to be in complete silence. Thad Holcombe, ECM campus minister, said moments of silence and meditation dated back to monastic times. He said contemplative silence had a history with almost every religion. Holcombe said he was surprised at the number of students that said they had certain places on campus where they went to sit in silence. Holcombe said the silence and lack of distractions could be disturbing for students at first because it gave people the freedom to explore all the thoughts in their heads. ce is provocative in that "Silence is pr way," Holcombe said. "It's nice to have permission to just pause and reflect." Jonathan Blum, Lawrence junior, said with cell phones and other constant stimulation from everyday life, it "We're around people all the time. To be in an environment that is calming, it gives me time to concentrate on myself."

"It precious to sit quietly and not think, 'I need to do this, I need to do that.' After two hours of silence, the group sat together, ate apples and cheese and reflected on the feeling of quiet. Jessica Crabaugh/KANSAN Megan Dodge, Overland Park senior, said the two hours of silence wasn't difficult for her to get used to. She said she felt like she accomplished a large amount of work and enjoyed having the focus to work on a presentation. Megan Dodge, Overland Park senior, reaches for a snack during the ECMS Silent Saturday. Participants agreed that the day is great for getting away from the rush of everyday life. Faber said when she first participated in a Silent Saturday the feeling was unusual, and it gave her time to think of the little things going on in her life. She said she always left feeling relaxed, de-stressed and like she had a productive day. The group continued its silence until a 7 p.m. vegetarian dinner. Holcombe said the next Silent Saturday was scheduled for Dec. 8. He said because it was the day after Stop Day, it would be a good opportunity for students to start studying for final exams. Faber said she planned to attend any coming Silent Saturdays and encouraged other students to give it a try. "I get excited because I know how good it is for me," Faber said. >>SCHOOL SPIRIT Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Winning slogans revealed for rivalry, gameday T-shirts tnystrom@kansan.com BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com The "Muck Fizzou" slogan has been replaced, two weeks before the much-hyped match in Arrowhead Stadium between Kansas and Missouri on Nov. 24. The results of The University Daily Kansan's T-shirt slogan contest were announced during the weekend and the distribution of the shirts will begin this week. Lauren Braun, St. Louis sophmore, submitted the winning rivalry slogan, which reads: "Tigers are an endangered species" on the front and "Extinction starts today" on the back. The winning slogan for a nonsport specific gameday shirt was submitted by Clint Frye, Haddam sophomore. It will read: "Bring the Heat, Wave the Wheat." After a week of submissions, a committee of Kansan staff members and various student leaders narrowed the list to five. Visitors to Kansan.com voted on the finalists for a week. The voting ended on Wednesday, and the winners were notified Friday. Braun and Frye each get two front- row tickets and a limo ride with a guest to the game at Arrowhead Stadium, as well as $100 cash, a tailgate package and other prizes. One thousand T-shirts will be given away to students picking up KU-MU football tickets this week. Braun said she didn't like the Muck Fizzou slogan because it wasn't appropriate for children. As a Missouri resident, Braun said it was exciting to have created the slogan. "It is really fun, because a lot of my family and friends go to the game every year," Braun said. Nate Stafford, Overland Park senior and marketing and promotions manager for The Kansan, said Braun and Frye each won "handily" and received close to 50 percent of the student vote. "There were a lot of great submissions," Stafford said. "I would have been happy with any of the top five." Stafford said he hadn't expected the student body to immediately embrace the idea but was happy with the end result of a process that was completely student-driven. "You can't please everyone all the time, but we tried to do our best," Stafford said. "I hope the student body will embrace it." said he would wear the new shirt if it looked good. John Irvine, Leavenworth junior. "I think the contest was a good idea. It's better to get the idea from us (students) than a store on Mass, Street," Irvine said. The "Border Showdown" tilt between Kansas and Missouri is a leading contender to be aired in primetime on ESPN-partner ABC. ESPN announced last year that it would not show students wearing the "Muck Fizzout" shirts on television, which was a prime reason for the creation of the contest. Irvine said the television networks wouldn't stop him from wearing the "Muck Fizzzou" shirt. "Screw ABC, it doesn't matter. If I don't wear the shirt someone else will." Irvine said. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the contest was a step in the right direction. "We think that it's far better than the Muck Fizzou shirts," Marchiony said. "We applaud The Daily Kansan and the student body for taking the lead in this and making it happen. We think the best part of this was that it was totally student driven, and that is the way it should be." TOP of the HILL 2007 The Spectacle Edited by Tara Smith Your #1 Optometrist!

The Jayhawks take on Iowa State in their final home game this season Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Hawks trample Cowboys, Henry captures three touchdowns in 10th consecutive victory BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com STILLWATER, Okla. — One-hundred and eight. That's how many years it had been since Kansas started a season 10-0. With their 43-28 victory at Oklahoma State on Saturday, the Jayhawks cemented their first 10-0 start since 1899 and kept their dream season alive, moving up one spot to No. 4 in the AP and Coaches' polls. Kansas (10-0, 6-0 Big 12) did what it has done all year; come up with defensive stops at just the right moments and respond to adversity with offensive firepower. Oklahoma State (5-5, 3-3) posted plenty of points despite the loss of its best receiver, but the Jayhawks countered two late Cowboy touchdowns with a perfectly orchestrated 89-yard touchdown drive to seal the victory. "Our kids don't panic, and they keep them poise," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "We did what we had to do to keep separation between us and Oklahoma State." Kansas relied on heroes from sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing and senior wide receiver Marcus Henry to stay in the driver's seat for most of Saturday's game. After dropping the first pass thrown his way, Henry recovered to put together the finest performance of his collegiate career. The lanky receiver, who grew up two hours away from Stillwater and brought a bevy of family and friends, hauled in eight receptions for 199 yards and three touchdowns. Henry's most crucial catch came with 8:26 remaining in the game. Oklahoma State had just engineered an impressive four-play, 89-yard drive to trim the deficit to five points and pull the home crowd out of a dormant state. The Jayhawks started their ensuing drive at their own 11-yard line, faced with the prospect of marching into the teeth of a hostile and noisy crowd. from the shotgun formation, looked left to see senior tight end Derek Fine blanketed by two defenders and caught a glipse of Henry streaking across the back of the end zone. Reesing's eye did not deceive him, and he delivered a perfect strike to the 6-foot-4 target. After pushing the ball all the way to the Oklahoma State four-yard line, the Kansas offense looked frozen. The Oklahoma State student section was full of fans bouncing up and down and screaming at full throat trying to halt the lawhayaks, confronted with third-and-goal. Reesing took the snap "It's happened several times this season when a team's gone ahead or got a little close to us late in the game that the offense has responded well and found a way to get in the end zone." Reesing said. "We were moving the ball well all night, and that drive was definitely a huge drive because it got us a little bit more of a lead and more of a PAGE1B SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 4B CROSS COUNTRY Teams fail to qualify for national meet BY TYLER PASSMORE tpassmore@kansan.com Saturday's NCAA Midwest Regional Championships in Peoria, Ill., marked possibly the last race of the year for the cross country team, but at least one Jayhawk runner will move a step further. With the biggest race of the year on the line, senior All-American Colby Wissel stepped up once again. Setting a new personal record time and finishing fifth overall, Wissel punished his ticket for the NCAA Championships. As a team, the men finished 10 out of the 19 teams in the field. Although they did not win the race, many of the team members set personal best marks. Senior Paul Hefferon also set a personal best time and finished 20th overall. Sophomore Dan Van Orsdel finished third for the Jayhawks and 71st overall. A. J. Hassan Leading the way for the Wissel heading the way for the woman was sophomore Lauren Bonds. Bonds set her personal record time while finishing 25th overall. The trio of seniors were next, with Alicia McGregor and Hayley Harbert both setting personal best times. Lisa Morrisey finished fourth for the Jayhawks in her final race and that was just ahead of freshman Amanda Miller. Wissel, Hefferon and Bonds all earned allregion honors along with their career-best times. Wissel automatically qualified for the NCAA Championships because he was one of the top four finishers who wasn't from teams that qualified automatically. The two teams will now wait to see whether they will receive an at-large bid to the championships, which will be announced later today. Two at-large runners from every region can also be selected. — Edited by Matt Erickson Race results Kansas men's results: 5. Colby Wissel, 30:11 6. Paul Heferon, 30:40 7. Dan Van Grisdel, 32:25 8.

Megan James, 22:39 MEN'S BASKETBALL Hawks lack 'killer instinct' on Sunday BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com mdent@kansan.com Go ahead, take your pick. Did Kansas make big shots and show enough poise to beat a tough, motivated UMKC team in its 85-62 victory or did it bring back memories of last year's Jayhawks, who toyed too long with Toledo and barely beat Ball State? Ask Kansas coach Bill Self, and it was a little of both. "I would say, 'maybe they played pretty good,'" he said. "I also think we made some plays that when we watch the tape, I'll say, 'why would we do that in this situation?' You have a chance to break the game open and do a couple of things and let them back in it. I just feel like we didn't have the killer instinct tonight." For a while in the first half, UMKC looked like it had the toughness to join the group of teams that had upset major powers in the first week of the season. The Kansas players wouldn't let it happen. Upsets been on their mind all week. Senior forward Darnell Jackson said the team saw all the surprise losses on "SportsCenter" and knew every team needed to be taken The Kangaroos sure came out like killers. Their undersized big men didn't back down and ensured Kansas (2-0) wouldn't wow anyone like it did in Friday's season-opening, run-and-jump-riddled 107-78 victory against Louisiana Monroe. Lisa Linovac/KANSAN "We don't want to be one of those teams getting upset because we're better than that," he said. "We can go out there and win in every game as long as we go out there as a team and not be selfish." So when Reggie Hamilton made a three-pointer with about eight minutes left in the first half to make the score 22-21, the jayhawks responded. Junior guard Mario Chalmers made a three of his own. Sophomore guard Sherron Collins swiped a pass, sprinted to the opposite end and found senior guard Russell Robinson for a lay-up. seriously. First National Bank Mario Chalmers, junior guard, *beats* an UMKC defender to get the ball in Sunday's game. Chalmers had four steals and led the l Jayhawks with 23 points. Senior guard Rodrick Stewart and senior center Sasha Kaun made some shots, and Robinson extended the Jayhawk lead to 41-28 just before halftime. Robinson was everywhere Sunday night — making threes, throwing nine assists and getting in the middle of a first-half confrontation. When UMKC kept playing the scrapy Cinderella later in the second half, Robinson came to the rescue again. He made a three-pointer with about nine minutes left to give the lajayhaws a 62-48 lead. Kansas outscored UMKC 23-14 the rest of the way. Robinson had 15 points while Chalmers had 23 to lead the lajayhaws in scoring. "I wasn't nervous." Robinson said. "We just traded baskets for a long time. We just have to buckle down defensively." Self said it wasn't the defense that allowed UMKC to stick around and pull within 10 late in the second half. It was the miscues. Turnovers and missed dunks kept the lajahawks from blowing the game open. Self also said the offense had trouble going against the zone, and the big guys missed shots near the basket. Free throw shooting was another problem.

Like its 74-8 overtime exhibition victory against Emporia State last Thursday night, Kansas opened the game on fire but a dry spell allowed its opponent to get close. "Out of the gate we were good again, but we were really flat coming out of the locker room (at halftime) and that's a concern," bonnie Henrickson said. The Jayhawks were up by as many as 15 points in the first half and led by 10 at the break. Hartford pulled within two points several times in the second half. "I thought we lost our poise at times, and other times we were just sloppy," Henrickson said. Freshman Nicollette Smith countered those numbers with a game-high 19 points and 10 rebounds, with 16 of those points coming in the second half thanks mostly to passes from penetrating guards. "We were just penetrating a lot more because they had stayed out on me in the first half." Smith said. Hartford outscored Kansas 30-14 in the paint and scored 16 points off of the Jayhawks' 20 turnovers. Smith led the lajahys shooting from beyond the arc, going 4-for-7.

Whip-armed Brodie Croyle replaced shaken-up, turnover-prone Damon Huard in the third quarter and the second-year pro could start next week in Indianapolis. Croyle was expected to be the starter this year, but coach Herm Edwards turned to Huard when Croyle played inconsistently in the preseason. *Any decision by the Kansan is final. *Kansan staff members are not eligible. Pollard blocked Todd Sauerbrun's punt through the end zone for a safety just a few seconds into the second quarter. Then Elam kicked his 37th career field goal of 50 yards or more when the ball hit the crossbar and tumbled over from exactly "I haven't decided anything," Edwards said. "I'll think about it Monday and then we'll talk about what we're going to do at quarterback on Tuesday." The home team had won the last nine games between these old rivals, and it seemed that would continue as the Broncos stumbled around in the first quarter, dropping two interceptions and getting six penalties. 50 yards. Cutler, whose availability was in question earlier in the week because of a deep bruise on his left leg, was 17-of-29 for 192 yards,including an 18-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Graham with 10:44 left in the fourth quarter.

The Javahawks forced four turnovers. comfort level." The fourth-quarter connection between Reesing and Henry sucked the life from the fans at Boone Pickens Stadium and the hope from the Cowboy sideline. On the next Oklahoma State possession, quarterback Zac Robinson lofted a pass over the middle of the field and into perfect position for Kansas junior cornerback Aqib Talib to seize. Talib returned the interception 17 yards and set up a 22-yard goal goal by senior kicker Scott Webb that stretched the Kansas lead to 15 points with 5:31 to play. The turnover was the third of four forced by Kansas. In contrast, the Jayhawks never gave the ball away. "We knew they were going to make big plays," junior linebacker Joe Mortensen said. "They have tremendous athletes and good ballplayers. We just kept trying to fight back and ended up making a big play and some turnovers, which is something we take pride in on defense." Talib's interception helped seal the Jayhawks' tenth victory, but it might not have been his most important contribution on Saturday night. In the second quarter, Talib made a diving tackle in the backfield that sidelined Oklahoma State wide receiver Adarius Bowman for the rest of the game — the same Adarius Bowman who torched Kansas for 300 receiving yards and four touchdowns in Lawrence last season. Bowman gained just 22 receiving yards on four catches and spent the second half of Saturday's game roaming the sidelines confined to street clothes because of the injury. "The play was just a read for us," Talib said. "He threw it, and I made a good break on it. I hate to see (Bowman) go down like that, but I was just out there playing football." tackle late in the second quarter with Kansas leading by three points. On their next possession, the Jayhawks added three more points and went into halftime holding a tenuous 20-14 advantage. With its best weapon standing on the sideline, Oklahoma State sputtered early in the second half. The Cowboys went three-and-out on their first two drives and fumbled the ball away on their third. Meanwhile, Reesing and the Jayhawk offense was firing on all cylinders. The Austin, Texas, native found Henry cutting across the field on a slant route that turned into an 82-yard touchdown when the receiver broke away from the Cowboy defensive backs and into the open field. Four minutes later, Kansas marched 46 yards on five plays and scored on senior running back Brandon McAnderson's 12-yard touchdown scamper. McAnderson displayed great field vision and lateral quickness on the play as he made his way into the left corner of the end zone to stretch the lead to 19 points. "They took over and they checked run-or-pass for however we lined up," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "Their quarterback is a nice player. He does a nice job of getting the ball to receivers." Reesing certainly enjoyed an impressive showing in Stillwater. The sophomore finished the game 27-of-40 with 308 passing yards and three touchdowns while continuing his interception-less streak to five games and 179 attempts. McAnderson provided the balance for the Kansas offense, gaining 145 rushing yards and finding the end zone twice. For a 10th consecutive game, Kansas played so well as a team that no one player stood out above the crowd. Mortensen and Talib forced turnovers on defense, Reesing and Henry quieted the crowd on offense and the team further solidified its case for a BCS berth. After making a habit out of mediocrity in the past few seasons, the 2007 layhawks are winning big and winning often. But even after 10 in a row, the feeling of success has not lost its novelty. "it's different because I don't think I've ever been 10-0 in anything." Talib said. "It just feels good, man. It's better than 9-0."

The team now stands 10-0 overall and 6 in the B12. 80 Dezmin Briscoe, freshman wide receiver, pulls away from an Alabama State defender as he runs downfield. Briscoe received six passes for 43 yards. Kansas' ability to create turnovers shows superiority, strength of defense ckeefeer@kansan.com Oklahoma State senior wide receiver Tommy Devereaux had to pause and rethink his statement. After a 43-28 loss to Kansas, Devereaux was asked whether he thought the Jayhawks were legitimate national title contenders. He immediately began praising the defense - perhaps too much. "They've got the best defense in the nation," Devereaux said. "I mean, the league." Devereaux was part of the Cowboy receiving corps that caught 276 yards worth of passes from sophomore quarterback Zac Robinson in the defeat. So following a successful game offensively, why would Devereaux's immediate comment place the Jayhawk defense among the nation's elite? To Devereaux, and the rest of the Cowboys, the Jayhawk defense's superiority stems from one basic ability: creating turnovers. Kansas ranked second in the nation in turnover margin coming into the game against Oklahoma State. It left with four more turnovers to add to its statistical sheet and committed none. All four turnovers came at critical points of the game for Kansas. "You play a team that's as successful as they are and playing as well as they are and give them four more chances, it makes it extremely difficult to win", Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "And that's really what it comes down to. We gave the ball away too many times." KANSAS 5 The game was a back and forth battle in the first quarter with both team's offenses and defenses grabbing momentum at different times. The score was 7-7 when Oklahoma State committed its first turnover. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Robinson threw a low lateral pass to junior wide receiver Seth Newton. Since the throw was behind the line of scrimage, the loose ball was considered a fumble. As Newton bent over to pick it up, Kansas junior middle linebacker Joe Mortensen flew onto the scene. Todd Reasing, sophomore quarterback, leaves the field after Saturday night's victory over Oklahoma State. Reissing completed 27 passes for more than 300 yards. Mortensen dove on the fumble and the Jayhawks offense received ideal field position at the 50-yard line. Kansas senior kicker Scott Webb made a 30-yard field goal less than two minutes later to hand Kansas the lead. "We knew coming into the game that it would be important to take care of the ball." Robinson said, "because they are good at taking care of it themselves." Were they ever. Kansas sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing controlled the flow of the game by delivering accurate passes all night. With 40 more attempts Saturday, Reesing has completed 179 consecutive passes without an interception. Gundy said he was impressed by the way Kansas took care of the football. He mentioned it when posed a similar question to Devereaux regarding national championship possibilities. "it hard for me to comment on that," Gundy said. "But what I'll say is they are a very solid football team because they don't make mistakes and don't beat themselves." Orange-clad faithful arose from their seats with eight minutes remaining in the game to support the Cowboy offense. Oklahoma State trailed by 12 points and a touchdown drive would have put it back in the game. But Jayhawk junior cornerback Aqib Tailbuck quickly ended those hopes by intercepting a Robinson pass four plays into the possession. Webb knocked another field goal through minutes later and Kansas fans rejoiced because their team was one game closer to a possible national championship berth. Oklahoma State junior safety Jake Price said he wouldn't be surprised if Kansas made it there. Not if they keep winning the turnover battle. Edited by Rachael Gray View from press row The game was over when... Aqib Talib intercepted an Oklahoma State pass with 7:32 remaining in the game. Talib's interception and 17-yard return gave Kansas the ball at the Oklahoma State 25-yard line and set up a chip shot 22-yard field goal by Scott Webb. The field goal gave the Jayhawks a 43-28 advantage that held up until the end of the game. Game ball goes to... Marcus Henry. The Lawton, Okla., native had quite the homecoming in front of friends and family who made the two hour drive to Stillwater for the game. Henry's 199 receiving yards was the most by a Kansas player since 1989 and his four-yard touchdown catch stretched the Kansas lead to 12 points in the middle of the fourth quarter. Game to forget... Adarius Bowman. Bowman spent the second half of last year's game burning Kansas repeatedly on his way to 300 yards and four touchdowns. In this year's installment of the series, Oklahoma State's star wide receiver stayed on the sideline in the second half because of a leg injury. The senior tallied just four receptions and 22 yards, his lowest output of the season. Stat of the game... One. Only one undefeated BCS Conference team remains: the Kansas Jayhawks. Ohio State dropped from the ranks of the unbeaten on Saturday, leaving non-BCS Hawaii and 10-0 Kansas as the nation's two perfect teams. With every victory, Kansas inches up the BCS Standings and closer to a berth in a big-time bowl game. Football notes — Asher Fusco A FEW LESS FANS TRICKY JAYHAWKS Even with the No. 5 team in the nation visiting and the added significance of the ABC Game of the Week, Boone Pickens Stadium was not filled to capacity. The announced attendance of 39,848 marked the smallest crowd Kansas has played in front of all season. The seats near the top of the stadium stayed empty, and one end zone was completely free of fans because of construction. Using a donation from oil tycoon Boone Pickens, the Cowboy football program is adding a state-of-the-art complex on the west end of the stadium. Pickens displayed his respect for the 10-0 Jayhawks by congratulating Mark Mangino as the coach headed for the locker room after the game. The game was billed as a match between offensive powerhouses, a label the offensive coordinators did nothing to shed. Kansas offensive coordinator Ed Warinner pulled several tricks from his [Name] sleeve, including a particularly tricky option pass. Sophomore quarterback/wide receiver Kerry Meier went into motion before the snap and lined up in the backfield beside sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing. After the snap, Reesing and Meier ran what looked like a standard option play to the right. Reesing pitched the ball back to Meier, who gathered the toss and lofted the ball deep downfield to senior wide receiver Marcus Henry. The Jayhawks gained 44 yards on the play and scored on a field goal four plays later. But none of the Cowboys' tries at trick plays turned out well. Faced with fourth-and-two at the Kansas 48-yard line on its first drive, Oklahoma State tried to earn a first down on a fake punt but came up just inches short. Later in the first half, Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Larry Fedora elected to try a wide receiver pass. The problem was, his wide receiver never caught the backward pass and Kansas junior linebacker Joe Mortensen recovered the fumble. Meier HOMECOMING Kansas is a team heavily stocked with Oklahoma-grown talent, with 13 players and five starters from the state. Some Oklahoma natives enjoyed big games in their home-comings, as junior defensive end Russell Brorsen and junior linebacker James Holt combined for eight tackles and two tackles-for-loss. Henry and senior kicker Scott Webb scored 31 of the team's 43 points. Henry made eight receptions for 199 yards, and Webb made all three of his field goal attempts. COWBOYS OK WITHOUT BOWMAN STRUGGLING SPECIAL TEAMS Oklahoma State lost its most potent weapon when wide receiver Adiari Bowman left the game with an injury in the second quarter. But the disappearance of Bowman didn't hold up the Cowboy offense too much. As wide receiver Dez Bryant stepped into the role of playmaker. Bryant caught two long passes over Kansas junior cornerback Kendrick Harper on a second-quarter touchdown drive and continued to dissect the Jayhawk defense in the second half. The freshman finished the game with eight receptions and 155 receiving yards. Cowboy quarterback Zac Robinson also put together an impressive effort. The sophomore signal-caller passed for 276 yards and two touchdowns and added 90 rushing yards. sides of the Kansas punting game. Senior punter Kyle Tucker booted the ball away six times at an average of 30.8 yards per punt including a 22-vard dud It was a rough night for both Herford that promptly sailed out of bounds sophomore punt returner Anthony Webb lived dangerously on Saturday BASILISI MUHAMMAD night, returning three punts forminus four yards and sustaining some serious hits because of his reluctance to signal a fair catch. The Kansas kickoff and kick return units performed quite a bit better. Webb sent three of his nine kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks, and junior kick returner Marcus Herford brought one kick back 55 yards into Oklahoma State territory. GAME CHANGING PERFORMANCE Reesing continued to enhance his resume and gave Heisman voters some quality material to consider when sorting through candidates. He tossed three touchdowns and extended his five game interception—less streak to a school record Reesing 12 POWER RANKINGS 179 attempts. His 308-yard effort was his fourth game throwing for more than 300 yards this season, which ties a Kansas record. His 82-yard touchdown pass to Henry was the team's longest pass play since 1988 and was nominated as a finalist for the Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Week. The Jayhawks' most impressive offensive accomplishment may have been keeping the ball away from the Cowboys. Kansas held onto the ball for more than two-thirds of the fourth quarter and did not commit a turnover for the second straight game.

Those free throws, offensive mistakes and solid UMKC shooting all kept the Kangaroos in the game. Maybe Kansas didn't show enough of a killer instinct, maybe UMKC played a great game. Or like Self said, it was probably a little bit of both. "I wasn't real pleased with everything," he said. "But it was good for us to play against a team that changed defense and did a lot of different things with short preparation and have to respond to that." - Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Kangaroo defense pesters Jayhawks BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com This wasn't Kansas against Louisiana-Monroe. On Friday, Kansas opened its season with a 107-78 victory, and it was 40 minutes of fun and gun; a track meet on basketball floor; one of those "Pick your SportsCenter Top 10 moment" games. No, Kansas' 85-62 victory against UMKC was something different. From the opening tip, UMKC played the role of annoying gnat. The Kangarooos pestered the Jayhawks all game long with an assortment of elbows, scratches and slaps — mixing in a hard foul every few minutes for good measure. Yep, it was certainly different as the Friday night highlights were replaced by Sunday night floor burns. "Anytime a team tries to come in and punk you on your home court, you got to go in there and try to be physical with them, and that's what we do," Chalmers said. Tempers certainly trained against UMKC. The Kangaroos only committed 22 fouls, a number that could have been higher, but they bogged down the KU big men with a swarming 2-3 zone and made a point to put a body on every Kansas player that ventured into the paint. Junior guard Mario Chalmers, who fueled the jayhawk offense with 23 points, also summed up the team's strategy for dealing with harassing opponents. "I thought, truthfully, we outhustled them," UMKC coach Matt Brown said. The on-court confrontations between Kansas and UMKC never went over the edge, but when a UMKC player bumped senior guard Russell Robinson in the first half, several layhawks, including senior forward Darnell jackson, rushed to Robinson's defense. "They were competitive. We were competitive," Robinson said. "Anytime you get two competitive teams out there, there's going to be a little animosity. And that what it was today, but it was all in good spirits." And after Kansas' high-flying aerial battle on Friag, a tough, grind-it out game might have been just what the jayhawks needed. Kansas was 20-0 last season when scoring 80 points and an impressive, yet more modest 13-5 when held under the 80-point benchmark. Kansas struggled last season against hard-nosed physical teams like Southern Illinois, UCLA and Texas A&M — teams that pride themselves on their defense. Kansas lost to UCLA 69-55 in last year's Elite Eight and fell 69-66 to Texas A&M in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks barely squeaked by the brutish defense of Southern Illinois, winning 61-58 in the Sweet 16. Kansas did top 80 points against UMKC, and while the Jayhawks will face much more athletic defenses than the one UMKC put forth, they will be hard-pressed to find a team that matches the Kangaroos' intensity. "It was good for us to sweat and to play under some duress," Kansas coach Bill Self said. Edited by Matt Erickson Anna Faltermeier Basketball notes Sophomore guard Sherron Collins goes up in the paint while closely guarded by UMKC players Sunday evening in Allen Fieldhouse. WHERE'S COLE? Freshman center Cole Aldrich didn't enter the game until only three minutes remained in the second half. It might have been surprising given that he scored six points Friday night, but Kansas Aldrich A. J. R. STEENS 15 JURCZAK 32 coach Bill Self had his reasons. He didn't think Aldrich was ready to play with UMKC's big men, who consistently move out to the three-point line in its wide open offense. A BETTER DEFENSE UCLA was the only team to shoot better than 50 percent last year against Kansas. Louisiana-Monroe did that in the first game of the season Friday night. Self wasn't pleased. Sunday against UMKC, the Jayhawks did better, allowing the Kangaroos to shoot 43 percent, but Self said there was still plenty of room for improvement. "When they beat us tonight it was because we were not as sound as we should be in some areas," Self said. "They also ran a good offense, too, LANSA 24 Senior center Sasha Kaun maneuvers around a UMKC player during the first half of the game in Fieldhouse Sunday night.

"He missed a couple of bunnies and dunk, but he is going to show up when time comes. In practice, he is unstoppable inside. Now we just have to get that to carry over into the game." Arthur did score 13 points, but he could have had more if not for missed dunks and easy inside shots. After two games, Arthur is averaging 12.5 points per game when many people thought he would become the Jayhawks' go-to-guy. Russell Robinson isn't worried about him.

02 Balch, Nathan0-00-00-0 >> COMMENTARY KU successes comparable with Boston's M. BY SHAWN SHROVER KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST SSHROWER@KANSAN.COM Unless you've been on Mars for the last few months, you've probably noticed that New England-area teams can do no wrong. Actually, better make it Jupiter. But sports fans in the 50-mile stretch between Allen Fieldhouse and Arrowhead Stadium are pretty blessed, as well. The New England Patriots are the only undefeated team left in the NFL, and the Boston Celtics are the only undefeated team left in the NBA. On Thursday, the New England Revolution clinched a spot in the MLS Cup, and last month, the Boston Red Sox won their second World Series in four years. Until two weeks ago, Boston College was the No. 2 football team in the country. I'm pretty sure I even saw the sun revolving around Boston the other day. With the No. 4 Kansas men's basketball team's victories against Louisiana-Monroe and UMKC during the weekend, and the No. 4 Kansas football team's victory against Oklahoma State Saturday, both teams are simultaneously undefeated for the first time in school history. The Kansas women's basketball team even joined the party, winning its season opener Sunday. Down the road in Kansas City, the Wizards reached the MLS Western Conference Championship, despite being the lowest seed in the West. Even after weeks of embarrassing football, the Chiefs could still Forrest Gump their way to an AFC West title. And all last week Garth Brooks rocked capacity crowds at the Sprint Center (hey, Brooks was invited to the Royals Spring Training in 2004). While New England sports enthusiasts might scoff at comparing what's going on here in the Midwest to their sports paradise, the similarities are there. Friday night, senior forward Darnell Jackson had a dominating performance, scoring 21 points and swiping four steals in just 18 minutes. But you wouldn't have known it to talk to him after the game. When asked what he thought he needed to improve on most, his answer was, "Everything." When asked whether he thought he might get more minutes in the future, he said held be fine playing one minute, grabbing two rebounds and scoring one point if it was best for the team. "I just try to do the dirty work," Jackson said. Allen Fieldhouse on Naismith Drive is without question the college basketball equivalent to Fenway Park on Yawkey Way. Inside the Fieldhouse, Bill Self looks to have the right combination of dual-guards, big men and upperclassmen to make a Final Four run. At the same time, former Jayhawk Paul Pierce looks to have the running mates to go deep in the NBA playoffs with the Celtics. When it comes to Kansas' superiority in men's basketball and football, only New Englanders can relate. Kansas is the only school with Top 5 men's basketball and football programs. The only schools that come close are Oregon (No. 12 and No. 2, respectively) and Tennessee (No. 7 and No. 19, respectively). While the Patriots are on pace to become the first team to go 19-0 in NFL history, Mark Manginos Jayhawks are a victory this Saturday away from going 11-0 for the first time in school history. The most striking resemblance between the two sports regions, though, is the "humble pie" being served to Kansas' athletes. Throw in some seafood and a Sam Adams and I'd swear I was in New England. Edited by Tara Smith it 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2007 SPORTS 7B BASKETBALL Big plays highlight Friday's 107-78 victory BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com KANSAS 5 Jon Goering/KANSAN Rodrick Stewart, senior guard, goes for a steal during the game against Louisiana-Monroe. Friday night in Allen Fieldhouse. Stewart had three points and eight assists in the name. Who had the best highlight? Questions about Brandon Rush's health, Cole Aldrich's progress and Sasha Kaun's rebounding can be answered later. After Kansas' 107-78 romp against the University of Louisiana-Monroe, the biggest question is this: Darrell Arthur, Sherron Collins and Darnell Jackson dunked, floated and banked in scintillating shots in Kansas' impressive victory in the first round of the hajawk Classic round-robin tournament. The Jayhawks (1-0) used a 25-10 run during the first seven minutes of the second half to build an insurmountable lead. "They are a real good team," Lou i s i a n a-Monroe guard "They are a really good team. Without them even having Brandon Rush, they are still a very tough team." "If I was the 10th man on the team, I'd be fine with that." jackson that he was able to finish three plays when he was fouled. Tony Hooper said. "Without them even having Brandon Rush, they are still a very tough team. They are top five in the country. There's not too much you can say about that." Just don't expect Jackson to ever think of himself as a star. Hed rather bang in the paint than do the fancy stuff. But his finest highlight came when he entered the lane untouched. Junior guard Mario Chalmers hit Jackson as he ran down the middle of the paint. Jackson leaped several feet away from the basket, threw down a one-handed jam and looked like an NBA big-timer in the process. Now back to those highlights. Jackson, a senior forward, isn't going to forget this night anytime soon. He bested his old career high of 13 points by pouring in 21 points in only 18 minutes. No one could stop Jackson. His 6-foot-8 frame withstood the shoves well enough TONY HOOPER Louisiana-Monroe guard said. "If I got in there and played one minute and got two rebounds, I'd be happy with that. I'm just glad Coach Self has the confidence in me to go out there and help the team." Not to be outdone by Jackson. Collins also made a run at a career high. The sophomore guard let Kansas coach Bill Self know he has a tough decision to make concerning his guard rotation when Rush comes back. He scored 22 points(one short of his career high) and did so on a variety of dribble-drive floaters and transition lay-ups. Oh yeah, let's not forget the three pointers. Collins tickled the twine twice in a row in the second half to give Kansas its 86th and 89th points. He made 4-of-7 from behind the arc. Arthur didn't approach career highs like Collins or Jackson, although he did make the crowd ooh-ah a few more times including when he made the first three-pointer of his career. Arthur stumbled backwards and tossed the ball off the backboard as time expired in the first half. He didn't call glass. "I didn't know it was going in," Arthur said. "I just shot it up there out of desperation." So, who had the better play; Arthur with the alley-oop, Collins with the consecutive three pointers or Jackson with the one-handed slam? Judge Darrell Arthur made Monroe between his legs. "If I was the 10th man on the team, I'd be fine with that. If I got in there and played one minute and got two rebounds, I'd be happy with that." Nice, but not as pleasing as his second-half dunk. Arthur finished an alley-oop with an unsuspecting Mitchell Hampton of Louisiana- DARNELL JACKSON Senior forward the pick. "Darnell's dunk through the lane because he dunked on two people down there." Arthur said. "He reminded me of KG a little bit or Amare because he just powered through the lane on everybody. It was amazing." 23 ARTHUR 00 KANSAS 24 CHALMERS 15 Sasha Kaun, senior center, high fives Darrell Arthur, sophomore forward, after Kansas' victory against Louisiana-Monroe Friday night at Allen Fieldhouse. The final score was 107-78. Mindy/KANSAN The Jayhawks had their way with the Warhawks in transition and on the glass. Louisiana-Monroe's speedy four-guard lineup looked like turtles as Kansas players swiped the ball 15 times and ran for 14 fast-break points. The highlights were good for more than just time on Sportscenter. They showcased Kansas' athleticism and speed. Of course, Self wasn't raving about the offensive highlights and transition buckets; he cared about the defense. Kansas let Louisiana-Monroe shoot 51 percent from the field. Only UCLA shot the ball that well last season. "That's one of the poorest defensive performances we've had in a long time," Self said. But he still nominated a top play. "That play where Darnell showed on the down screen and deflected it. Rod ran it down and dove for it, and Darnell finished with a three-point play." Self said about Jackson's and-one lay-up in the second half. "That's about as good as a play we've had in a long time."

RUSH UPDATE Basketball notes Coach Bill Self gave an update on the status of junior Brandon Rush after the game. Self said that nothing had changed and that Rush was still on track to return the first week of December. "The exact date has not been set, but he's basically doing everything," Self said.

Junior Maria Mayrovich was recognized as the Big 12 Swimmer of the Week on Thursday after outstanding performances in dual meets against Missouri and Arkansas. Mayrovich claimed first place in four events in each of the meets while setting new records for Robinson Natatorium for the 100- and 200-vard freestyle races. "This is a really nice honor for Maria," coach Clark Campbell said. "We're real excited for her. She had a great summer and fall period of training for the season." With the victory Saturday, the swimming and diving team improved to 3-2 in dual meets for the season. The Jayhawks defeated the Panthers 171-68, winning all of the meet's events while setting new records for Drury's Breech Pool. Mayrovich again helped led the way for Kansas, as she won the 100-yard freestyle race with a new record time for the pool. Junior Danielle Hermann and sophomore Alicia Casillas also clocked new record times for Breech Pool. Hermann set a new mark in the 200-yard individual medley race while Casillas broke the old record in the 1,000-yard freestyle event. Casillas also was victorious in the 500-yard freestyle race.

Hawks recover for victory VOLLEYBALL BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com After ugly start, Kansas fights back for 3-2 road win All season, Kansas has fought, scratched and clawed its way through Big 12 conference schedule. One might have thought all the fight had been drained out of this team after it ground out only four victories in its first 16 conference matches. But after Kansas' 3-2 (16-30, 24-30, 30-24, 33-31, 15-11) comeback victory against Colorado on Saturday night in Boulder, Colo., one thing was evident: This team has plenty of fight left. For Kansas coach Ray Bechard, the theme of the night was simple. Sometimes a team has to win ugly. Kaiser "I told them that even if it's not the prettiest of volleyball, we just have to fight, and although we weren't "pretty tonight, we were efficient," Bechard said. Saying the Jawhaws' play was ugly during the first two games on Saturday is an understatement. Kansas came out flat in game one and Colorado promptly thumped Kansas 30-16. Some of the ugliness carried over into game two, a game the Jawhaws lost 30-24. But Kansas responded to its coach's demands with one of its better offensive performances of the season. Freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser had 17 kills and hit 389, and senior right side/setter Emily Brown had 15 kills and 41 assists to lead a Kansas team that finished with a .263 hitting percentage. The layhawks also were buoyed by freshman outside hitter Karina Garlington and junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart. Garlingen had 14 kills and Uhart added 13 in Kansas' second Big 12 road victory of the season. "We got into a better rhythm," Bechard said of his team's comeback in games three, four and five. Kansas took game three 30-24, but still had to hold off Colorado in game four. Colorado had a 29-28 advantage and a chance to close out the match. But Brown helped Kansas stave off defeat with a kill, and Kaiser finished a ball on the next play to give Kansas a 31-30 lead. Colorado tied it at 31-31 on the next point, but two straight Uhart kills gave Kansas a 33-31 game four victory. The layhawks jumped out to a 6-1 lead in game five and closed out the match with a 15-11 victory. the theatrics came late, but Bechard said he actually thought the momentum changed at the end of the second game. "At the end of game two, we started playing better," Bechard said. "Before game three, I told the girls, 'If we want to extend the match, we've got to keep playing better.'" Kansas improved to 12-15, 5-12 in the Big 12 conference, while Colorado dropped to 6-19, 1-16 in the Big 12. "I'm just glad they let us play after game two," Bechard said. "Because for the first 45 minutes, it was not pretty." Edited by Tara Smith MELISSA MANDA LEADS DEFENSE game review Bechard said he was pleased with the performance of freshman libero Melissa Manda. Wachita freshman. She led Kansas with 27 digs against Colorado, and the next closest Jayhawk, Karina Garlington, had only seven. Manda is averaging 3.97 digs per game this season. UP NEXT Kansas travels to Manhattan to play Kansas State on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Kansas lost to its in-state rival 3-0 earlier this season at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. ROWING Team sees first loss to KSU in 2 years BY BRYAN WHEELER bwheeler@kansan.com On Saturday, the rowing team traveled to Manhattan to compete against Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown. Kansas lost to Kansas State 16-9, marking the Wildcats' first victory against the Jayhawks since 2005. The novice team beat Kansas State in three races. The first, second and third Novice Eight crews all finished ahead of Kansas State, scoring all of Kansas' nine points. After the first Novice Eight crew edged Kansas State by seven seconds, Kansas led the regatta 9-3. Freshman coxwain Elise Langtry, freshmen Melanie Luthi, Cassie Sparks, Meaghan Owen, Julia Matthias and Julia Guard and sophomores Denise Orloff, Jenny Robb and Inga Schuchard comprised the winning Novice Eight crew. Following the layhawks 9-3 lead, the Wildcats rallied to win the first and second Varsity Eight races, giving the Wildcats 16 points total for the regatta. Though Kansas lost the regatta, the Jayhawks are set for success. Sixty of the 75 members of the team are in their first or second years of rowing and will only get better. "We are really coming around. I think we might be able to turn the spring into a reloading year instead of a rebuilding year," coach Rob Catloth said in a press release following Saturday's regatta. The regatta was Kansas' final race of the fall. The team's next regatta will be on March 22 next year in Tulsa, Oklahoma against the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes.

Game notes SCORING OPTIONS Sophomore Danielle McCray, who led the team in points in the two exhibition games, scored 13 first-half points in Sunday's win. She was then shut out in the second half, but freshman Nicolelette Smith, who had only three first-half points, picked up the slack to lead the team with 19 points. Sophomore Sade Morris also scored 17 points. "We need balance," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "It's good for us to be able to have three people you can count on, then a fourth can still emerge and they can all rotate." Anna Faltermeier/KANSAN GREEN LIGHT Freshman forward Nicollette Smith drives to the basket during the game against Hartford Sunday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse. Smith finished the game with 19 points, a game-high for her. After Smith lit up the scoreboard with her 4-for-7 effort from beyond the arc, Henrickson joked that her freshman sharpshooter was given the green light as soon as she crossed the half-court line. Smith had proved that theory in the first half when she pulled up and drained a shot from the beak of the jayhawk logo at half-court, which is about four feet longer than the three-point line. BONNIE ON IMPROVING DEFENSIVELY: "Once everyone in the program embraces the idea of turning up the heat defensively, and realizes that it is not that much harder to play quality defense, then we are going to be in good shape.

Nicollette Smith arrived at Kansas after fending off interest from Missouri, Texas A&M and Middle Tennessee State among others. Sunday afternoon against the Hartford Hawks, Kansas fans got their first glimpse of the 62" freshman forward's potential. Smith scored 19 points and gathered 10 rebounds to register her first collegiate double-double and lead Kansas to victory in her first official game as a lajyawk. smith did most of her damage from behind the arc. A highly touted shooter coming out of high school in Tulsa, Okla, she lived up to her reputation by draining 4-of-7 three pointers and seven free throws in as many attempts. for Kansas when she hit a deep three from the right wing. The shot gave the layhawks their first lead of the game and ignited a 23-6 run to give the team its largest lead of the game. Like many shooters, Smith's confidence is contagious. Smith and 'sophmore guardes Danielle McCray and Sade Morris fed off one another as Kansas shot 69 percent from three-point range on 11 of 16 shooting. "If she misses three in a row I think the next one is going in, so does she and so does everybody on the bench," Henrickson said. For now, Smith has instructions to keep shooting. Her quick release, seemingly unlimited range and size make her a mismatch for almost any team. Though still only a true freshman, Smith's role on this year's Kansas squad seems assured. "If I get the ball, I'm open and I'm feeling it, coach tells me I have the green light," she said.

Some students started camping out early Sunday morning so they could be first in line to get tickets. BY MATT LINDBERG AND THOR NYSTROM Brian Giebink was watching the Kansas-Oklahoma State football game with two friends when the group began discussing the Nov. 24 Border Showdown between Kansas and Missouri. Forgoing sleep for seat priority, Giebink decided to bring a blanket and a tent to Allen Fieldhouse about 1 a.m. Sunday and set up shop in front of the ticket office. Giebink, the first student in line, slept by himself on the concrete that night. His tent, not secured, flapped in the wind for the duration of the evening. A security motion light shone into the tent, forcing Giebink to pull his hoodie over his eyes in a futile attempt at darkness. Giebink said another group of students stumbled in from the bars about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday to become group No. 2. When the sun finally rose, the light shut off, ending a two-hour night of sleep for Giebink, a Rolla, Mo., junior. Giebink's decision proved to be wise, as hundreds of students followed throughout the early morning hours. By the time the ticket office opened at 9 a.m., a sea of students "I don't regret it for a second. I still get chills thinking of being front row at the stadium," Giebink said. wrapped around Allen Fieldhouse to the intersection of Naismith Drive and Sunnyside Avenue to secure their seats. Giebink's group began a sign-up sheet similar to what is seen in Allen Fieldhouse during basketball campouts. More than 200 groups were signed up when the ticket office opened. Josh Spraddlin, Lawrence senior, said he wasn't planning on heading down to the stadium until midmorning, but a quick glance toward Allen Fieldhouse changed his decision. "I just got done working my shift at Oliver and saw tents outside the fieldhouse," Spradlin said. "I wasn't going to come until 3 a.m., but when I saw that I decided it was time to go." Spradlin and his group set up camp at 7 p.m. Sunday and ended up toward the beginning of the line. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said he wasn't surprised by students turning out early because of their loyalty. By the time morning hit, the student line had passed the Phog Allen statue in front of the fieldhouse, and rumors began to swirl that there wouldn't be enough tickets for students to attend the game. Marchiony sai "Students have been terrific supporting our football team, but we just didn't know what to expect because of the date being during break," Marchiony said. KANSAS Jessie Fetterling/KANSAN Lyndsey Orpin, Leeward junior, and Steven Kilgore, Overland Park junior, take down their tent after camping out for tickets to the Kansas-Missouri game at Allen Fieldhouse on Monday morning. Both students, who were in the camouflage group named "Sabo a maile," wait for tickets from 4 p.m. Sunday until 11 a.m. m. Monday. getting a ticket shouldn't be a concern for students with sports passes. "There are some lively imaginations online. We believe every student with an all-student sports combo pass who wants to go to the game will be able to go to the game," Marchiony said. But because of the rumors, students began to buy themselves into groups to make sure they would be able to attend. Brandon Blakely, Torrance, Calif., graduate student, was camping with Spradlin. He said he saw many groups approaching the first few groups with Ziplock bags full of KUIDs, trying to bribe groups. Giebink's group was offered $500 in cash to take four student IDs to the ticket window. Students were allowed to redeem 10 IDs at a time for tickets. Giebink's group declined the cash offer immediately. "No one was going to buy a spot for that," Giebink said. "It isn't fair. The group behind us had been there since 2:30 Sunday morning; we wouldn't have done that to them." to groups in the front of the line. Giebink said the group collectively could have made "well over $1,000," and said students were offering about $100 for each ID "I turned down a lot of money. But there are more important things than money." Giebink said. Giebink and his group received the ultimate prize — the only seven front row tickets available to students. Giebink said money exchanges were happening "all over." He said a member of his group saw the second group in line accept $160 to get tickets for four students using their KUIDs, and he said one group near the front brought a stack of IDs to the window that was at least three inches thick. "We are assuming they took some bribes, which is fine if that is the route they wanted to go," Giebink said. The bribes ensured prime seats without a need to wait. One of Giebink's friends took a place in line at 9 a.m. and didn't reach the front until 3:30 p.m., a six and a half hour wait that eliminated the possibility of going to class. One thousand student tickets were allocated in the lower endzone. The rest were scattered around the upper deck. Marchiony said every student with a valid ID received a ticket. Ticket pick-up for a round of basketball games also began Monday at the ticket office, and two ticket windows distributed basketball tickets while the other two handed out Missouri football tickets. Ashley Ryan, Overland Park junior, joined the line at 9:30 a.m. and was disappointed by its length. "Shame on them for this. The tickets are supposed to be for the students," Ryan said. "It's our team. We've been here for hours." Two members of Giebink's group, Katie Huber and Cassie Nealon, both St. Louis sophomores, missed class on Monday to sleep in the tent on Sunday night. Lauren Hickman, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said the group didn't realize they were missing Sunday night's basketball game between Kansas and UMKC, until they saw curious fans walking past the row of tents to the arena. "It used to be that people forgot about football" Hickman said. "Now they are forgetting about basketball."

NEWS BRIEF Student found dead in off-campus apartment Aaron Caldwell, Bedford, Texas, senior, was found dead in his off-campus apartment on Sunday, according to a University press release. Caldwell was an economics major. No foul play was suspected in his death, the release said, but the cause of death has not yet been determined by the Coroner's Office. The police investigation is ongoing, and there was no one available to comment Monday in the Lawrence Police Department. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in the release, "Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Aaron Caldwell. On behalf of the entire University of Kansas community, I offer condolences on this untimely loss of such a promising young man." Courtney Condron Horse-drawn controversy THE HORSE IS NOT THE BEST FOR ME. IT'S NOT THE BEST FOR YOU. BUT IT'S THE BEST FOR YOUR HOME. ASSOCIATED PRESS Patty Cooper sits in her wheelchair with her miniature pony, Earl, in Warren, Vt., on Oct. 17. The Central Vermont Community Land Trust said it was trying to figure out how to accommodate the disabled woman's request to have a miniature horse live with her in her apartment as a service animal. But Patty Cooper is tired of waiting. So far, she's been denied permission to do so, and that has prompted her to file a complaint with the Vermont Human Rights Commission charging that the land trust has denied her the "reasonable accommodation" for her disability that the law requires.

Former Sen. John Edwards, left, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) were among the candidates who spoke. BY MIKE GLOVER ASSOCIATED PRESS DES MOINES, Iowa — The race for the Democratic presidential nomination moved into overdrive Saturday as candidates scrambled to outdo each other to win over the Iowa activists who will lead off the contest on Jan. 3. Six Democratic rivals trotted out celebrities, filled the air with populist rhetoric and schmoozed party regulars in the most hectic day of a campaign that's been intense for months. The city took on a circus-like atmosphere as candidates raced from forums to rallies to marches to receptions, capped by the Iowa Democratic Party's annual fund-raising dinner. Nine thousand boisterous activists chanted and cheered during the event, which traditionally begins the sprint to Iowa's leadoff causes in January. Some of the hottest rhetoric of the night came from John Edwards, who has sounded an increasingly sharp populist theme in recent weeks. "It is time for us as a party to stand up with some backbone and some strength for what we actually believe in," said Edwards. "We do not believe in allowing lobbyists to write the laws of the United States of America and we do not believe that we are above the law." Edwards made a pointed reference to former President Bill Clinton and his failed effort to overhaul the nation's health care system — an effort led by one of Edwards' rival candidates, Hillary Rodham Clinton. "It is not enough," Edwards said. "Look at what happened in the 1990s when we had a Democratic president, a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate but still drug companies, insurance companies and their lobbyists killed universal health care in the United States of America." He offered the sharpest line in a night of tough rhetoric. "I think it is time for us to give America hope," said Edwards. "It is time to give those entrenched interests that are standing against America hell." But it was the matchup between Clinton and Barack Obama that was watched closest. Clinton has a significant lead nationally but only a small edge in Iowa, where she is being pressed by both Obama and Edwards. Clinton and Obama stacked the hall with larger contingents than their rivals, Obama bringing along a few thousand red-shirted backers and Clinton with an equal number of noisy supporters. “When I am your nominee, my opponent won't be able to say that I supported this war in Iraq, or that I gave George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran,” said Obama. “And he won't be able to say that I wavered on something as fundamental as whether it's OK for America to use torture — because it's never OK.” Obama has been critical of Clinton on all those issues, and he said Democrats were at their best "when we've led not by polls, but by principle, not by calculation but by conviction, when we've had leaders who could summon the entire nation to a common purpose — a higher purpose." "We are ready for change," said Clinton. "Change is just a word if you don't have the strength and experience to make it happen." Clinton argued the party should pick "a nominee who has been tested and elect a president who is ready to lead on day one. Fortunately, I have a little experience standing up and fighting for what I believe is right and what I believe America needs and how we can get there together." Clinton played the front-runner role to the hilt. "I'm not interested in attacking my opponents," said Clinton. "I'm interested in tackling the problems of America. We should be turning up the heat on the Republicans — they deserve all the heat we can give them." "The world is waiting for an American president they can trust," said Joe Biden. "The American people are waiting for one of us to step up ... when they can trust. Not trust in terms of our honesty, trust in terms of our judgment." Bill Richardson joined in the chorus of criticism of the war. "The most important issue affecting this race is the war," said Richardson, who hit his rivals on the issue. "The leading candidates are talking about keeping troops (in Iraq) until 2013," said Richardson. "I will bring troops home within one year and we will do it with a plan, a political compromise." At the same time, Richardson argued "it is critically important that Democrats not tear each other down" as the speeches wound deep into the night. "Welcome to breakfast in Des Moines," said Christopher Dodd, as he took the stage, saying major candidates had left open the potential that troops could be in Iraq until 2013. "I'm not going to wait until 2013," said Dodd. "Any Democrat who can't stand up here and promise they're gonna get our troops out of Iraq before 2013, I wonder what they're standing for." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi moderated the event, telling activists "they are going to hear from the next president of the United States." Iowa Democratic Chairman Scott Brennan said the dinner traditionally marked a point where campaigns began to get serious. Anti-war activists were joined in a protest march by backers of former Sen. Mike Gravel and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who were not invited to the dinner because they don't have active campaign operations in the state.

Han, Reeds Spring, Mo., senior, is one of about 200 University of Kansas students who volunteer at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where students often get more than they give. "He was basically paralyzed," Han said. "But he still had a smile on his face. I thought, 'I have so much more.' Still, he was happier than I was." Han said volunteering at Lawrence Memorial Hospital provided both inspiring and heartbreaking experiences. She said a baby was born with a disability when she was volunteering in the maternity ward. Han said it broke her heart to escort the father to the room to see his child for the first time. Han, who now works as a lead person for the volunteer program. helps patients move between rooms and trains other volunteers.She said it was rewarding to spend time with the patients, even though it seemed like her work was minor. volunteers aren't just sitting around but being proactive". Hoover said. "Volunteers should just make the nurses' and doctors' jobs a little easier." Hoover said he volunteered for about two years in the emergen c y room. His main jobs were to make patients comfortable and assist the doctors and nurses with various tasks, such as taking patients to get X-rays. "The best thing is looking at other health care professionals and learning from them. It's neat to see people who are so passionate about what they're doing." However, he said the emergency room challenged him to see how well he could handle many eye-opening situations. "I don't heal them, but the little things I do make a difference," Han said. "I don't heal them, but the little things I do make a difference." Hoover said he was interested in a career in health care and he enjoyed observing the staff. He said he was impressed with the quality of the doctors and nurses and had "The staff appreciates it when Tony Hoover, Wichita senior, said that it was important to remember that volunteering might not be the most glamorous job, but that the little jobs volunteers performed were a huge help to the staff.

She said a general misconception was that elderly people had to be talked to as if they were children, but she had learned that they deserved a great amount of respect. Williams said one woman said she had been a singer and had sang for Eleanor Roosevelt. "They've experienced a lot, and then I see them in that setting." Williams said. "It makes me want to live as well as I can." Becki Carl Stutz, the hospital's student volunteer coordinator, said many students were interested in the experience because they were pursuing degrees in health care. Stutz said the hospital tried to place them in areas of interest, including radiology, surgery and the maternity ward. Stutz said volunteers worked one shift each week. Before becoming a volunteer, students go through a brief training session to go over situations they might encounter while volunteering. She said the staff and patients appreciated the help and the interaction with student volunteers.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 2007 PAGE 5A EDITORIAL BOARD Mrs. E's vandalism handled appropriately, calmly Two recent cases have challenged how the KU Public Safety Office responds to both shooting and destruction of campus property claims Within the past two months, Lewis Hall and the adjoinig Ekdahl Dining Commons, known as Mrs. E's, were the victims of two separate acts of vandalism. Both incidents involved gunfire. While these occurrences could easily have caused the University to devolve into a state of panic, both KU Housing and the Public Safety Office should be commended for a level-headed response. The first incident occurred over Fall Break, between 5:30 p.m. Oct.13 and 10:50 a.m. Oct. 14, according to a University news release. A person, who remains unknown, discharged fire into three windows, two on the east side of Mrs. E's, and one on the west side third floor lobby window of Lewis Hall. The second happened between 9:30 p.m. Nov. 3 and 11:30 a.m. Nov. 4. This time, a rear window of Mrs. E's was shot. Neither of these acts occurred when people would have been present, but the use of a firearm in both cases warrants immediate action on the part of the KU Office of Public Safety. The KU Crime Stoppers Board pre-designated a reward of $1,000 to anyone who could provide information leading to the arrest of the person or people responsible. KU Housing also sent an e-mail to students living in University housing, reassuring them that safety was their highest concern. said in the e-mail. "Your safety is a top priority at KU. Please know that KU police are investigating these incidents to the fullest, including examining video from cameras in the area." Diana Robertson, Director of Student Housing, It is appalling that anyone would damage University property, and even more disturbing that they would use a gun to do so. It not only shows a lack of respect for the University, but a complete disregard for the safety of other people. Firearms are completely banned on the University campus, and everyone is told to call 911 immediately if they see a weapon. The use of a deadly weapon worsens the already vile nature of the vandalism. Following recent violence at Virginia Tech and Delaware State, paranoidia could have taken hold here and caused hysteria and a lock-down. Housing and KU Crime Stoppers are doing exactly what they should: reassuring housing residents and their families, and utilizing resources in order to identify those responsible. The vandalism that occurred at Lewis Hall and Mrs. E's was just that, vandalism. If every incident of damage to University property were treated like a campus attack, a 'cry wolf' syndrome could easily set in. It's important for the University to properly differentiate what constitutes a clear and present danger, and what is vandalism. Up to this point, the University gets top marks for maintaining a level of civility. It is hoped that someone will step up and supply KU Crime Stoppers with the information it needs to make an arrest. The person or people responsible for this have no business on KU's campus, and their arrest is imperative.

TUESDAY MORNING Class size not solo factor in student learning Active and animated professors are most important in leading class of five or 500 As an incentive for potential students, many colleges advertise that their college offers the advantage of smaller class sizes. Supposedly smaller class sizes benefit students by offering advantages such as more individualized attention, less distractions and increased success. But when it comes to learning, does class size really matter? According to Tennessee's Student Teacher Achievement Ratio (STAR) project, a large-scale, four-year, experimental study of reduced class size, students enrolled in smaller classes as youngsters were more likely to graduate on time, complete more advanced math and English courses, complete high school and graduate with honors. This makes sense. After KIRSTEN HUDSON all, it's easier for teachers to get to know and control younger students within smaller classes. Yet, while smaller classes may be beneficial to young students, in college classes size is less important. By this point in our education, two factors really matter when it comes to learning: Teaching quality and student effort. Whether I'm in Budig 120 or the smallest classroom in Wescoe, what holds my attention is an interesting teacher. Obviously some classes should be smaller, such as foreign language classes where participation is a key part to learning. Yet, in other smaller classes I always find it amusing when teachers attempt to "make us equals" by arranging all the desks in a circle to supposedly make students more at ease and promote participation. Personally though, I'd rather not be equals with my teacher. If I was an equal to the teacher then what would be the point in taking the class? I'd already know everything about the subject. You can arrange the classroom in every shape known to man—square, star, octagon—and it won't affect my learning as much as an animated professor completely ecstatic over his or her subject. Whether a class contains 20 students or 500 with the desks arranged in the shape of a sunflower and the teacher lecturing on the ceiling, what matters is the quality of the teaching. At the same time though, there could be a class size of two with an amazing teacher and students could still fail if they don't put in the effort. It can be harder to pay attention when you're in a larger lecture hall. Especially if you're sitting in the last row of Budig with Facebook pulled up on your laptop while doing the Sudoku. It may be easier to pay attention when the teacher is right up in your face calling your name, but at this point in our education, we should have enough control over ourselves to put in effort in our classes, regardless of the size. As much as some of us would like to dismiss our grades as a result of too large a class, the grades printed on your transcript reflect the quality of the teacher and your effort as a student.

Smith --- 6A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2007 WORLD Pope Benedict to visit U.S. in April Trip to include meeting with Bush, visit to Ground Zero ASSOCIATED PRESS PAPSTER Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, at center in white, and Pope Benedict XVI, at right in red, exchange gifts during their meeting Nov. 6 at the Vatican. Benedict has planned a five-day visit to the U.S. in April. He will visit New York City and Washington, D.C. BY RACHEL ZOLL ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Pope Benedict XVI will travel to the United States for the first time as pontiff next year to meet with President Bush, address the United Nations and visit Ground Zero, a Vatican official told American bishops Monday. The pope also will celebrate Mass at the new Nationals Park stadium and Yankee Stadium during the April 15-20 visit to Washington and New York, according to Archbishop Pietro Sambi, Vatican ambassador to the United States. The announcement comes as the 67 million-member American church is grappling with a priest shortage and an often alienated flock, and is still recovering from the clergy sex abuse crisis. American dioceses have paid more than $2 billion in settlements with victims since 1950. "It's a shot in the arm for the U.S. Catholic Church which is enduring one of the most protracted crises in its history," said Scott Appleby, a University of Notre Dame historian who specializes in religion. He said the Catholic community in the United States "badly needs a renewed sense of its own vitality and its historic legacy in the country." Benedict has dedicated his pontificate to fighting secularism and strengthening Catholic faith, and his visit reflects those priorities. Benedict will convene separate national meetings with Roman Catholic priests, Catholic university presidents and diocesan religious educators, and leaders of other religious groups. Traditional American Catholics have long complained that Catholic universities have lost their religious identity. The Archdiocese of Boston, where the abuse crisis erupted in 2002, and bishops from around the country had invited Benedict to visit. But Bishop William Skylstad, leader of the bishops' conference, said the Vatican limited the visit to two cities to "conserve (Benedict's) energy" The visit coincides with the third anniversary of Benedict's election to succeed Pope John Paul II on April 19, 2005. John Paul's five visits to the United States during his pontificate were major events. When he arrived at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1979, a school band welcomed him with the theme from "Rocky". The late pontiff's charisma and personal warmth attracted tens of thousands of people to his appearances and buoyed the American church. Benedict, the theologian, spent more than two decades as the Vatican's chief orthodoxy watchdog before becoming pope, earning a reputation — considered unfair by his supporters — as a dour enforcer of Catholic teaching. "I don't think he is going to make the sort of impact John Paul did. Benedict can't do it and doesn't want to do it," said James Hitchock, a Catholic historian from St. Louis University. "I think it's a very different kind of appeal." Benedict will also be in the United States during a presidential election year, and his public events could inadvertently become public relations vehicles for candidates or political parties. Benedict's pilgrimage to the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York is meant to show "solidarity with those who have died, with their families and with all those who wish an end of violence and in the search of peace," TRUST US.

PATRICK SCHMIDT The pope's visit will begin with an April 16 reception with Bush at the White House, followed the next day by Mass at Nationals Park and separate meetings with Catholic educators and leaders of other faiths. Bush met the pope for the first time in June at the Vatican. The president used that occasion to defend his humanitarian record to the pope, who expressed concern about Iraq. "President and Mrs. Bush are honored to welcome His Holiness to the White House next April," said Gordon Johndore, a spokesman for President Bush. CAMPUS Scholarship for English majors named in honor of lecturer BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com A new $100,000 scholarship fund has been established to support undergraduate students in the department of English. The Mary A. Klayder Scholarship will help support various student activities, including study abroad and research work. Students must apply for the scholarship, and the tentative deadline for applications will be in March. The late Bernard "Bud" Hirsch, a longtime professor of English who died in 2006, named the scholarship after Klayder, a University Honors Lecturer in English. Klayder had worked with Hirsch for more than 20 years. It's common for scholarships to be named after the donors who financed them, but Hirsch wanted to recognize Kluyder for her years of service in the department of English as both a teacher and adviser. "I didn't expect it." Klayder said. Klayder described Hirsch as feisty and direct. And the two had much in common. Both had a love for teaching and both had spouses die in the 1990s. Klayder said the two of them went through those difficult times together and their friendship grew stronger. Anna Neill, coordinator of under- graduate studies and associate pro- fessor of English, said she wasn't sur- prised Hirsch wanted his scholarship to be named after Klayer. "She's the appropriate person to have the scholarship named after," Neill said. Klayder earned her undergraduate degrees in English and art history from the University in 1972. After graduation, she taught high school in Colorado for 10 years. She said she found that she enjoyed working with young people but missed being at the University of Kansas. "I kept telling people to go to college and do what you want to do, and I realized I should be tell ing myself that," she said. so much from the teachers and students." In 1985, she --returned to Lawrence and began her graduate studies and taught class. Klayder primarily teaches honors courses, and during winter break, she and her advanced composition class will study abroad in Costa Rica. "I was an undergrad here, and I feel I understand what it's like to come to Lawrence and be a student. I love to teach here. I can't imagine teaching anywhere else." MARY KLAYDEF honors lecturer in English "it's really meaningful for me to teach here," Klayder said. "I learned John Kuhn, Jamestown, Kan., senior and English major, was a student in Klayder's freshman and sophomore honors English classes. He said both classes were exemplary. Klayder has also served as Kuhn's academic adviser. "She's interested in your development as an individual, something that I think is very important," he said. Klayder's interest in her students has been well received. She also is a H.O.P.E Award finalist this year. The H.O.P.E Awards are given to teachers who have been nominated by students for teaching excellence. "Her courses are academically rigorous but are also exceptional in that she really cares about her students as people." Klayder said that in the future, her students could expect her to be content right where she was at. "I feel comfortable," she said. "I was an undergrad here, and feel I understand what it's like to come to Lawrence and be a student. I love to teach here. I can't imagine teaching anywhere else."

To have a chance at playing in the BCS National Championship game, the Jayhawks must maintain a perfect record. KANSAS 5 Football team stays focused to maintain success BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com There isn't anything unusual about students camping out at Allen Fieldhouse: It happens every fall. And it's certainly not unheard of to see a Kansas team win 10 games in a row. After all, this is Kansas, home of national championships, impressive top 25 rankings and high draft picks. But the source of excitement this year isn't limited to basketball. The students who took up residence on the lawn in front of Allen Fieldhouseon Sunday night weren't waiting in line for courtside seats. Instead, they were hoping for prime seats at Arrowhead Stadium on Nov. 24. "To be at this point in the season and to be undefeated and getting more recognition is awesome, and we're loving it," sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing said. "But we know what's at stake, and that's why we prepare so hard during the week. We want to keep this thing rolling." There's plenty of evidence suggesting it could be worth the wait to watch this Kansas squad. After spending most of the past century as a run-of-the-mill program, Kansas football has made a splash this season by blowing out opponents, winning on the road and taking care of the football. Because of the team's gaudy statistics and unblemished record, college football's powers-that-bear have been started to pay attention. Ample reason exists for the recent media onslaught. The Jayhawks have trailed their opponents for fewer than 30 of the season's 600 minutes, are ranked second in the nation in scoring offense and scoring defense and are leading the country in turnover margin. Kansas coach Mark Mangino entered the season 2-18 in Big 12 Conference road games, but has led the Jayhawks to four road victories in four tries. ESPN analyst Lou Holtz wrote on ESPN.com Sunday that he thought Kansas was the best team in the nation, and ABC football analyst Kirk Herbstreit praised the layhawks after watching their victory at Oklahoma State last weekend. Representatives from bowl games and the Thorpe Award took in Saturday's game from the press box alongside reporters from The New York Times and CBSports.com. Things could become much more surreal in a hurry for Kansas football. Barring a Kansas collapse against Iowa State or a Missouri meltdown at Kansas State this weekend, No. 4 Kansas will meet No. 6 Missouri in Kansas City with each team's season on the line. The winner of the match-up would pack its bags and head to San Antonio, Texas, for the Big 12 Championship game the next weekend and the loser would start making plans for a bowl game — presumably not a BCS bowl. If the Jayhawks defeat the Tigers and win the Big 12 Championship, they would be 13-0 and nearly guaranteed a spot in the BCS National Championship game. That sort of wishful thinking may have made its way to the tents outside Allen Fieldhouse, but it has stayed out of the locker room. "Our team is 10-0 right now because we've taken care of the task at hand and focused on the task at hand." Mangino said. "I understand that all the Kansas beat writers are sick of hearing that — I would be too if I had their job — but it's the truth. It's just the truth." MEN'S BASKETBALL Aldrich, Reed learn from upperclassmen's examples -Edited by Rachel Bock BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Cole Aldrich gets advice from Darnell Jackson and other upperclassmen at practice, during games and just about everywhere. "This morning about nine," Jackson said Friday. "Cole and I were taking a shower. He just got done lifting weights, and he told me.'D-Block, you ready to play?' I was like, 'Yeah. He was like,' Man, I'm nervous.' I was just like,' Man, just go out there and play. Get your body going and start sweating, and you'll be fine." And everywhere means everywhere. The shower work talked. Aldrich scored six points and grabbed six rebounds. The other freshman on scholarship, guard Tyreel Reed, scored 11 points. Their early success doesn't surprise Kansas coach Bill Self. He said they were getting better by learning from the best at practice. Jon Goering/KANSAN Take Reed, for example. He has to play offense against some of the best defensive guards in the country. Senior guard Russell Robinson, junior guard Mario Chalmers, sophomore guard Sherron Collins and senior guard Rodrick Stewart all take turns harassing the freshman. Reed routinely comes home with bumps and bruises from their physical defense. "Whether they beat me up or whatever, it's still a learning experience," Reed said. "You have to make it into a learning experience. Coach is going to be on you and players are going to be on you because you're a freshman, but you have to have fun with it." Aldrich has also benefited from the tough love. At Late Night, he looked lost, turning the ball over nearly every time he touched it. Now, he has become accustomed to the speed of the college game after practicing against the likes of Jackson, senior center Sasha Kaun and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur. SEE BASKETBALL ON PAGE 6B NEGAS 5 Tyreel Reed, left, and Cole Aldrich, right, have gained experience by practicing with upperclassmen such as Darnell Jackson. Kansas coach Bill Ellis said playing against the best in practice would prepare the freshmen for the future. KANSAS 14 the other freshmen Conner Teahan and Chase Buford may not be on scholarship, but that doesn't mean they're useless to the team. Here's a quick rundown on how the other two freshmen have performed so far this season. Conner Teahan — He's shown everyone he can grow a great head of hair and shoot a nice jump shot. Teahan went scoreless against Louisiana Monroe and didn't play against UMKC, but he did Chase Buford — Buford could be the scrappiest player to ever wear a Kansas uniform. He'll tell you he's not very athletic, not very quick and not very good at shooting. It doesn't matter. He earns his minutes through his hustle and even scored in the exhibition game against Fort Hays State. contribute in the exhibition games. He scored two points against Pittsburg State and four points against Fort Hays State. Collins, a sophomore guard, had surgery for a stress fracture in his left foot and will be out six weeks. Collins aggravated the injury during the second half against UMKC on Sunday on a drive to the hoop. He came out of the game but returned a few minutes later. Sherron Collins out six weeks with stress fracture in foot What was originally diagnosed as a sprained ankle turned out to be much worse for Sherron Collins. After the game, Kansas coach Bill Self said Collins had turned his ankle. X-rays taken this morning revealed the stress fracture. The loss could be costly for Kansas. Collins has led the Jayhawks with an average of 16 points in the first two games. He had been in the starting lineup as a replacement for junior guard Brandon Rush, who is out until around Dec. 1 with a toma ACL. 1 Senior guard Rodrick Stewart, freshman guard Tyrel Reed or senior guard Jeremy Case could enter the startina lineup. 1 "This will give some of our younger players an opportunity to share Sheron's minutes," Self said. "We also look forward to having a healthy Brandon Rush playing in a short amount of time."

The Rams won 37-29, and it wasn't that close. Three hours later, the Lions, winners of three straight, were beaten by the Cardinals, who had lost three in a row. "We had a couple of big plays called back because of penalties," Giants center Shaun O'Hara said after Sunday's 31-20 loss. "Against mediocre teams you will be able to overcome that, but not against teams like these guys." Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Patrick Kerney, left, knocks the ball loose from San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith during the first quarter of the Monday night NFA game in Seattle. The Seahawks recovered the fumble and drove down the field for a 20-yard field goal. —New England (9.0). Why create when you have talent that's a level above everyone else and the league's best coaching to boot? There's a decent chance the Patriots will be the first team ever to go 19-0. That's standard in the NFL, where 26 of 32 teams have had winning or losing streaks of three or more games this season. New Orleans, San Diego and Buffalo have had both. Miami (0-9). Lack of talent, plus injuries to Trent Green, Zach Thomas and Ronnie Brown, among others. Add awful personnel decisions over the last decade that drop the Dolphins below parity to parody. A look at some of the streaks: It's another facet of parity. But the streaks are not only at the top and bottom of the NFLs they are also in the middle, as with the Saints, who lost four, won four and then lost at home to a winless team. In other cases, streaks are determined by the schedule, or by injuries or the lack of them. The Colts, a top-end team, went into San Diego without seven starters and lost four more players, one reason they lost their second straight after seven wins to open the season. The Giants can beat bad teams, but not good ones. Their six straight wins were over teams with a combined record of 15-38; Washington (5-4) was the only victim currently over .500. Their three losses are to 8-1 teams: Dallas twice and Green Bay. Yes, the unbeaten Patriots, the Cowboys, the Colts and the Packers have been able to run off long streaks because they are simply better than the opposition. And the Giants won six straight until they lost Sunday to Dallas in part because they were in a lengthy soft spot of their schedule, which included another consistently bad team, the Jets, who are 1-8. The Lions, who had a three-game winning streak snapped Sunday when they fell 31-21 in Arizona, are a good example. Their six wins are the most they've had in a full season since Matt Millen took over as team president in 2001, but they are streaky in a way typical of teams that play indoors: 4-0 at home, but 2-3 on the road, where they have allowed 121 points in the three defeats. —Dallas (8-1). Only loss is to the Patriots. Tony Romo might be up there with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre among the top QBs, making the Cowboys the NFL's second-best team right now. -Buffalo (5-4). Four straight -Buffalo (5 wins on pure prit; two quarterbacks, subs for subs as injury replacements, but the luck to be in the AFC East, where the Jets and Dolphins, a combined 1-17, are two of their victims during the three-game winning streak. tory. The injured players include Marvin Harrison and Dallas Clark, plus Dwight Freeney, who went out during the game. — St. Louis (1-8). Talk about injuries. The Rams spent the first half of the season shuffling and reshuffling the offensive line, which lost Orlando Pace, its best player, in the first game. QB Marc Bulger missed two games Streak buster New England is next. The streaks are not only at the top and bottom of the NFL; they are also in the middle, as with the Saints, who lost four, won four and then lost at home to a winless team. —Indianapolis (7-2). Seven straight wins, now two straight losses, the second in the game against the Chargers that included two eyepopping improbabilities: six interceptions from Manning and a potential game-winning 29-yard field-goal attempt missed by Adam Vinatier, the best clutch kicker in NFL his- Saints coach Sean Payton said after Sunday's game. Fair comment. and played several others with broken ribs, and Steven Jackson, the league's fifth-leading rusher last season, missed four games with a back injury. "They had four or five games that could have gone their way." age team can sustain a streak only so long. —New Orleans (4-5). The loss to St. Louis was a typical let-down by a team playing a less player. With four straight wins after four losses to open the season, Payton was spreading rat traps around the practice facility last week to warn "trap game." Didn't work, demonstrating that an aver- Cleveland (5-4). Clearly one of the league's most improved teams, the Browns won three straight going into Pittsburgh and took a 21-6 lead, threatening to tie the Steelers for the AFC North lead. The Browns finally lost because of Ben Roethlisberger's heroics and very strange clock management late in the game by Romeo Crennel. They probably proved they will remain a playoff contender, but the improvement may also simply get them somewhere around .500. —Baltimore (4-5). Started 4-2 and now has lost three straight. In injuries are a factor, but quarterback is a bigger problem. The Ravens finally scored with 1:56 left against a Cincinnati team that entered Sunday's game tied for first in points allowed at 30.4 per game. Steve McNair seems done, Kyle Boller has never been the answer and the Ravens cut Derek Anderson, their sixth-round draft pick in 2005, hoping to sneak him onto the practice squad. Instead, he was claimed by Cleveland and has thrived. On the other hand, given the Ravens' history at QB, Anderson probably would have failed had he stayed.

Ganz threw for school records with 510 yards and seven touchdowns in the 42-point blowout. Okla- Ganz homa freshman DeMarco Murray pulled down Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Murray returned three kickoffs for 129 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown return, in a 52-21 victory against Baylor. Kansas cornerback Aqib Talib was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week. WHERE'S BOWMAN? Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said the injury to senior wide receiver Adairus Bowman was a turning point in the 43-28 loss to Kansas. Bowman left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury after being tackled by Aqib Talib. Gundy called Bowman the leader of the offense and said the Cowboys played lost without him. 49 17 Bowman "I don't think there's any question that for two or three possessions there were guys looking around and wondering where No. 12 was?" Gundy said. He didn't announce whether Bowman would play against Baylor this weekend. TEMPLE HONORS GRANDMOTHER just another great game to fans. But coach Gary Pinkel knew Temple's performance symbolized something more. Pinkel said Temple's grandmother passed away earlier in the week. Temple made arrangements to play against the Aggies and leave immediately NIKE Temple after the game for his grandmother's funeral service. Pinkel said Temple was playing with a heavy heart and wanted a big game to serve as a tribute to his grandmother. "He was on a mission during that game!" Pinkel said. "I know he wasn't at the press conference, but he was playing in her memory." LEACH OFFERS NO APOLOGIES Texas Tech coach Mike Leach went on a tride after his team lost 59-43 to Texas on Saturday. He accused game officials of favoring the Longhorns because at least one member of the crew lived in Austin, Texas. Reporters bombarded Leach with questions Leach regarding the incident yesterday, but Beach showed no remorse. He said he would continue to stand by his comments and that he had not heard from the Big 12 Conference office. Criticizing officials is against the league's policy, but Beach said he didn't know whether he'd be fined. "I wouldn't change anything I said," Beach said. PRINCE DIAGNOSES WILDCATS' PROBLEM Kansas State coach Ron Prince showed no hesitation when asked what his team needed to do to break away from its current two-game losing streak. "The first thing we have to do to play well is get some more pressure on the quarterback" Prince said. The Wildcats The Wildcats have dropped two straight games to teams with losing records, Iowa State and Nebraska. Kansas State needs to win one of its last two games to become bowl eligible and needs to win both to be guaranteed a bowl berth. Pressuring the quarterback was a surprise response from Prince because Kansas State ranks second in the Big 12 with 28 sacks on the season. But the Wildcats have recorded only three sacks in the past two games and none by defensive linemen." The critical thing for us is to play better in our defensive front." Principia said. CALLLAHAN PLEASED WITH OFFENSE Nebraska coach Bill Callahan is likely to be fired shortly after the Cornhusker's season ends. But Callahan said that his offensive system had worked in Lincoln, Neb. Callahan implemented an NFL-style West Coast offense at Nebraska when he was RONALD SMITH hence ago, Calahan said the national rankings of the Comhusker offense this season spoke for themselves. Nebraska ranks 12th in the nation in passing Callahan offense and 18th in total offense. Callahan said he was happy with the offense and that if the defense performed with the same consistency this season, Nebraska's record would read better than 5-6. "It's kind of a testament that this system works." Callahan said. "It put up high numbers this year, and it put up high numbers last year. I'm proud of it."

"Baldwin rocks," Emily said with a smile. "People always say, 'There's nothing to do.'" she said. "But it's all I know. So it's not like it was like 'Oh, it's terrible.' It's just what I was used to, and it was a small town, but we were so close to Lawrence." And being close to Lawrence meant one thing for Brown. "I was a huge KU basketball fan," Brown said. Of course, it didn't hurt that her mom and aunt were both former Kansas volleyball players. Jill Brown graduated from Kansas in 1979, and it was Jill who introduced her daughter to the game. If her mother was playing in a co-ed league or a sand volleyball tournament, Emily was there, watching and learning. But she wasn't just watching. She was playing — a lot. Her schedule was packed with volleyball matches, basketball games and track meets. "Our family was basically at some sort of game every night," Emily's older brother, Eric, said. Eric Brown, who earned All-American honors in the javelin at the University of Arkansas, remembered his parents going through more than one car driving to all the athletic events. The mother-daughter combination continued when jill coached Emily at Baldwin High School. Jill Brown admitted she was tougher on her daughter than most of her teammates. "She had to be the first one in the gym and the last one to leave," Jill Brown said. Brown can hardly believe it. "I can't believe four years ago I was in high school," Brown said. "It seems like not so long ago." But Brown's career hasn't been all fair tale. Kansas advanced to the NCAA tournament her freshman and sophomore seasons but has a combined record of 21-33. "This is what I grew up with. Playing close to home has been great," Brown said, adding that she couldn't go to a home game without seeing a face or two from Baldwin City in the stands. The final chapter in Brown's college volleyball career is rapidly coming to a close. Brown has only three matches left before she hangs up the knee pads. No longer will Kansas fans see Brown bouncing around the court with her blond hair pulled back as she nervously chomps on a piece of gum. No longer will fans see her 6-foot-2 frame soaring for a kill, diving for a dig or doing her usual shimmy after an ace. Eric, who said he liked to claim he was the assistant coach, has fond memories of his family's volleyball bonding. "I helped out with the team a little bit, and it's tough being the daughter of the coach, but I think Emily handled it quite well." Eric said. "The best part was having that family connection. I think that's what led me to volleyball." Emily said. Mother and daughter proved to be a successful duo. Together they led Baldwin High School to a second-place finish in the 2003 Kansas 4A state volleyball tournament. Kit Harris taught Emily in English and journalism classes at Baldwin High School. He said he remembered Jill Brown dressing up as the Saturday Night Live character, Stuart Smalley, before one of those state tournament matches. But the ride isn't over yet. Brown still has three volleyball matches to play. Three more opportunities for Emily to call her mother and confess that she should have played better. Three more chances for mother and daughter to bond through volleyball. "We always try to recruit players with traits that will add value to our program, and she has certainly done that," Bechard said. Eric Brown said that was the way his little sister had always been. A SOMBER END Her coach certainly thinks she has the intangible qualities to do the job. Kansas coach Ray Bechard said it was those qualities, such as the good grades, that made her successful. A BRIGHT FUTURE during her junior and senior seasons. Although Brown's volleyball days are numbered, she will be staying in Lawrence a little longer. Brown, an Academic All-Big 12 selection as a junior, is majoring in education and has one year left in the five-year program. She thinks she wants to get into coaching, but don't hold her to that. "I hate that," Brown said. "You think, 'OK, it was good when I was a freshman and sophomore,' and now I'm one of the leaders, and I'm not able to get it done." "She's always been the hometown girl," he said. Edited by Tara Smith cornerback Aqib Talib won the award this week for his performance at Oklahoma State.

Junior and broke up a pass in addition to returning an interception 17 yards to set up a Scott Webb field goal. Talib is currently fifth in the nation and first in the Big 12 Conference in passes defended with 15. PLAYER OF THE WEEK Kansas has been blessed with good health for most of the season but is starting to show some wear and tear. Junior safety Patrick Resby sat out last weekend's game against Oklahoma State with an undisclosed injury and several other Jayhawks played despite minor bumps and bruises. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton sat out more plays than usual at Oklahoma State, but freshman defensive tackle Jamal Greene stepped in and recorded three tackles. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing and junior offensive tackle Anthony Collins both sported noticeable limbs after the game but did not miss out on any playing time. THE INJURY BUG The Jayhawks played another nearly mistake-free game last Saturday, registering four takeaways, no giveaways and just three penalties. Junior linebacker Joe Mortensen and freshman cornerback Chris Harris recovered fumbles, and Talib intercepted a pass. Kansas leads the nation in both turnover margin and penalties per game."They don't beat themselves," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said."They came into Saturday with a plus-16 turnover margin and left with plus-20. They don't make many mistakes."

BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com On April 4, 1988, the Kansas Jayhawks commenced an unlikely run, from unranked at the start of the NCAA Tournament to its National Champion, with an 83-79 victory against Oklahoma in Kemper Arena. The team, dubbed "Danny and the Miracles," featured star Danny Manning and a host of role players that snuck up on college basketball. If the Jayhawks are going to cap their 20th anniversary by cutting down the nets on April 7 in San Antonio, they will have to do so without the element of surprise. Every media publication or college basketball expert surveyed for this story picked Kansas No. 1 in the Big 12 Conference and no lower than No. 8 nationally. This lajhawk team, like in 1988, has a large, mobile, multi-dimensional scoring threat at power forward. Sophomore Darrell Arthur, unlike Manning, has the aid of established college basketball stars such as juniors Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers, sophomore Sherron Collins and senior Russell Robinson. Sporting News acknowledged the star power, placing Arthur and Rush on its preseason third team All-American squad, while tabbing Kansas the fourth best team in America. "The Jahaywah could win it all if Darrell Arthur becomes their offensive focus," Sporting News wrote. rankings Publication Big 12 rank National rank Sporting News 1 4 CBSsportsline 1 3 Athlon Sports 1 Elite 8 Lindy's 1 8 Dick Vitale 1* 6 Fox Sports Net 1 5 Big 12 Coaches 1 N/A AP Top 25 1* 4 ESPN/USA Today Poll 1* 4 *Big 12 ranking based on highest ranked team in conference in national predictions CBS SportsLine gave the Jayhawks the highest rating of any publication, pegging Kansas No. 3 in the nation. CBS also projected the 65-team NCAA field, with the Jayhawks as the No. 1 seed in the Midwest and a first-round date against Lamar. Lindy's rated Kansas the lowest, No. 8, which is one spot below the Washington State Cougars. The publication may have docked Kansas for its affiliation with the Big 12, which Lindy's rated as only the fifth strongest in the country. Lindy's, however, was not dismissive of Kansas' chances in the postseason. "The lajhayws arguably are the nation's most talented team and capable of a deep run into the tournament," Lindy's wrote. ESPN personalities Jay Bilas and Doug Gottlieb picked the Jawhacks to reach the Final Four. Gottlieb was the only ESPN.com expert, out of 10, to predict a Jayhawk national championship. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the expectations were natural. "It is not unlike most seasons here," Marchiony said. "Kansas basketball is one of the elite programs in the country. With that stature comes expectations. We're thrilled people think we can be that good." Dick Vitale had Kansas sixth, writing: "Rock, chalk, Jayhawk will be celebrating another super season. This is a deep and talented Bill Selfled team. A key will be the health of Brandon Rush." Vitale joined colleague Mark Schlabach in tabbing Rush a preseason first team All-American.

But Sean Lester, associate athletics director of internal affairs, said Thursday evening that architectural drawings for the project would be sent to construction companies either Friday or Monday. From there, the companies will bid on the project, a process Lester expected to take two weeks. "The drawings are all done," Lester said. "The whole building's designed, and the construction designs are out, which means architects have detailed all the drawings." Originally, there was hope the project might start shortly after the end of last baseball season. Then, Lester said in August that bidding on the project was expected to be completed in September. But bidding was put on hold as the project architects continued to work on the clubhouse's design. Although it has taken a few extra months to complete the design, Lester said the scale of the project hadn't changed. As Lester said in late August, the clubhouse will be 6,500 square feet and be built behind the bleachers down the first base line. It will feature a locker room and lounge for the players, game day offices for the coaches and a reception area for visitors, which will include Kansas baseball displays. Most importantly, the cost for the project hasn't changed drastically since August, when Lester estimated the cost of the project at $1.7 million. dred thousand dollars either way." Lester said. "You just don't know until the construction companies look at it." Assuming a construction company is in place by the end of the month, the clubhouse could be completed early next summer. Lester "We expect the cost to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 million, give or take a couple hun- said the substantial completion date — the date a substantial amount of the construction should be finished — was June 15. "We would like to have had it done sooner, but it's perfect and we're in great shape," Lester said. "We wanted to make sure what we were doing was perfect and it is. Now were ready to move forward. When you're spending $2 million, you want to make sure everything you're doing is perfect. It's the future of Kansas baseball, so nothing short of perfection."

No, not the National Championship. The layhawks are in contention for something just as rare as a Kansas football national title. Kansas, now 9-0 against the spread, could become the first team in NCAA football history to finish a season undefeated against the Las Vegas line. The lajahawks, five-point favorites against the Cowboys, have covered against all nine FBS opponents. Oddsmakers generally do not release point spreads for games between FBS and FCS teams, so a line for the 62-point victory against Southeastern Louisiana was not offered by Sportsbooks.com. An undefeated season against the spread also has never occurred in the NFL. The New England Patriots had been undefeated against the number before last week, but were blemished after they defeated the Indianapolis Colts by four and failed to cover the six-point spread. Richard Gardner, a Bodoglife.com bookmanager, said finishing a season undefeated against the spread was not impossible, but Gardner also said surpassing expert's opinion every week for a season would be a rare feat. "It would certainly be historic," Gardner said. "A lot of bettors ride a team until they lose, so once a team starts beating the line repeatedly the value goes out of them fairly quickly. However, it's more pronounced when that team is a historically good team, like New England. For a team like Kansas that has struggled in the past, it takes a little longer" A Lawrence resident that takes sports bets in Lawrence and requested anonymity said he received a surprisingly low amount of bets on the the spread | Date | Opponent | Result | Point spread | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Sept. 1 | Central Michigan | W 52-7 | -7.5 | | Sept. 8 | Southeastern Louisiana | W 62-0 | NL | | Sept. 15 | Toledo | W 45-13 | -25.5 | | Sept. 22 | Florida International | W 55-3 | -33 | | Oct. 6 | at Kansas State | W 30-24 | +3.5 | | Oct. 13 | Baylor | W 58-10 | -26.5 | | Oct. 20 | at Colorado | W 19-14 | -3.5 | | Oct. 27 | at Texas A&M | W 19-11 | -3 | | Nov. 3 | Nebraska | W 76-39 | -20.5 | | Nov. 10 | at Oklahoma State | W 43-28 | -5 | Jayhawks, even though most of his clientele live in town. "Each week I hear, "This will be the week they don't cover," the source said. "It's scary to bet on them. But they just keep doing it. They are a good team." Gardner acknowledged the lack of confidence nationwide. Cowboys. The Jayhawks were only small favorites against Texas A&M and Colorado earlier this year, and were underdogs against Kansas State. All four of those teams have five losses or more. "Some bettors have taken notice of the lajayhows perfect against-the-spread record, but it's far less than what would be expected," Gardner said. "People still see Kansas as a basketball school. It was the same earlier in the year when Kentucky was playing well. Are bettors gaining respect for Kansas? Yes, but there are certainly some doubts out there." Point spreads and gambling, a contentious issue in college sports, is Gardner said Kansas had not reached the point where it would be 'taxed' this season, a betting term referring to oddsmakers adding additional points to a popular favorite's number, forcing the betting public to give more points to back them with a wager. an issue the Jayhawks cannot address. Mike Strauss, associate media relations director for the KU Athletics Department, said anyone associated with the team was not permitted to comment on the subject. Kansas fans have been lamenting a lack of respect for most of this season, generally referring to the AP and Coaches polls. The spread, however, has provided sufficient evidence that experts do not believe in the Jayhawks yet, either. Kansas was favored only five points against Oklahoma State despite entering the game undefeated and facing the 5-4 Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony called the record an "interesting fact" but said the Athletics Department had "nothing to gain by commenting." "The books don't usually tax teams that are not popular with the general betting public because the general betting public doesn't wager enough on the non-public teams to counterbalance the professional money that would be bet on their opponents," Gardner said. Gardner said he didn't expect a marked increase in Kansas bets and offered a reason for the continued skepticism: "Kansas still hasn't proven they can play with the big boys. Even if they go undefeated through the regular season, who have they really beaten?" BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Edited by Jeff Briscoe Arthur remembers what it was like to be a freshman and said Aldrich was handling everything just fine. "When he started off, I didn't know where he was at." Arthur said. "But now that he's learned everything; he's been playing pretty good. He's more aggressive defensively by blocking shots and always going to the glass." All the practices against the upperclassmen have made games easier. Reed said he looked forward to games because he knew he wouldn't have to line up against guards as pesky and physical as Robinson, Stewart, Chalmers and Collins for a while, if at all this season. Of course, that doesn't mean Reed or Aldrich won't have trouble finding their role. Name a player other than Brandon Rush on the Kansas basketball team that didn't have trouble his first year. All of them struggled as freshmen. Chalmers turned the ball over seven times in his first game and later had to be removed from the starting line-up. Collins struggled with his weight at the beginning and end of last season. Robinson, Kaun and Jackson barely played their first year. Their lack of playing time in 2004-2005 was partially because of a team that included seniors Michael Lee, Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien and Keith Langford. Aldrich and Reed could have the same fate. This year's team is loaded with talented seniors, juniors and sophomores. It might be tough for two freshmen to crack the rotation late in the season. Nights like Sunday against UMKC, where Aldrich played only two minutes and Reed went scoreless, could become routine. Self is fine with that. He said Aldrich and Reed were in the ideal situation to get better just from practicing against the upperclassmen. "You can go through Darnell, Sasha, Micah was a McDonald's All-American who didn't play very much, and he was competing against other McDonald's All-Americans when they were freshmen," Self said about 2005 transfer Micah Downs. "They're competing against them when they are juniors. It's a little different game for those guys, but it's a perfect scenario for their long term benefit and their growth." www.fordcollegehq.com IAM passionate. define yourself.

FOUR-LINE LETTER Graphic by Brenna Hawley Users post secrets online, on cards Web site lets strangers share private thoughts BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com Chantal Montrone wrote one of her secrets on a post card and malled it to a complete stranger. Montrone, Overland Park senior, was one of thousands who anonymously sent a post card to PostSecret. com. The PostSecret blog was started by Frank Warren, 43, Germantown, Md., in 2004. He sent out 3,000 blank self-addressed postcards to random people in the Washington D.C. area asking them to write down a secret and decorate the postcard. He got about 100 postcards back. He said he started the blog to explore his own secrets. It grew into four books and a Web site that gets 3 million hits per month. His latest book, "A Lifetime of Secrets", was released in October. 4 “There are two kinds of secrets, the ones that we keep from others and the ones that we keep from ourselves,” Warren said. “I think there are some secrets that, because they are painful or we don't want to think about them, we forget them; we hide from them. I think there are parts of our lives that we hide from. This project helps illuminate that hidden landscape that we share but people don't talk about.” Montrone said she heard about PostSecret from her roommate. She said she was initially attracted to the gossip aspect of reading other people's secrets. "Now when I am thinking by myself I am always constantly trying to think of a secret that I can send in." Montrone said. Montrone would not reveal the secret she sent in, but she said it was a happy secret that was posted about a month after she sent it in. She said she intended to send another one soon, this time with a darker secret on it. Warren reads about 1,000 postcards a week, about 100 e-mails per day. Warren said he received post cards from people of all ages, and they had a variety of secrets: some were happy, some were hopeful, some were shocking and some were sad. He also travels around cities and college campuses across the United States sharing the story of how he started PostSecret and a few secrets he has not posted on the Web site or published in his books. "When you see the courage strangers are showing in revealing themselves it inspires you and it makes you realize that sharing a secret is something that can bring you closer to somebody," Warren said.

The research has not been published yet or confirmed by other scientists. But if true, it offers fresh hope in field that has been marked by frustration and even fraud. The claim of a similar breakthrough with human embryos by a South Korean scientist in 2004 turned out to be false. The hope is that one day, such a procedure could be used to create transplant tissue that's genetically matched to an nailing patient. Because stem cells can form all types of tissue, the approach might one day help treat conditions like diabetes and spinal cord injury without fear of rejection by the patient's body. Scientists have tried for years to clone monkey embryos and extract stem cells because monkeys are more closely related to humans than other lab animals are. So monkey work has been expected to give hints about how to do this in people. The success wasreported earlier this year at a scientific meeting in Australia by Shoukhrat Mitalipov of the Oregon National Park. media attention at the time, but the results were given new attention Tuesday by a London newspaper. The Independent. Mitalipov did not immediately respond Tuesday to an interview request from The Associated Press. But another scientist, Jose Cibello of Michigan State University, told the Scientists have tried for years to clone monkey embryos and extract stem cells because monkeys are more closely related to humans than other lab animals. National Primate Research Center in Portland. It received limited AP on Tuesday that he'd heard Mitalipov's presentation at the Australia meeting. "To me, it's a breakthrough," said Cibelli, who studies cloning and stem cells. The work shows "it is possible." In cloning to obtain stem cells, DNA from an adult animal is inserted into an unfertilized egg. The egg is grown into an early embryo, from which stem cells are extracted. These stem cells, and the tissue that develops from them, will be a genetic match to the source of the DNA. The idea of doing this in people is controversial because the embryos have to be destroyed to obtain the stem cells. Despite the monkey success, "we're still far off to start dreaming about translating this technique to humans," Cibelli said. That's because the reported results were very inefficient, requiring many eggs to produce stem cells, he said. Still, the work shows monkeys can be used to study the potential of embryonic stem cells produced through cloning, Cibelli said. "That's a terrific tool." Associated Press Does he spit?

ODD NEWS Officials, parents hug it out MASCOUTAH, IA. — The school officials resolved their dispute with the parents of a 13-year-old girl given detention for hugging her friends. Melissa and Dean Coulter met with officials of the Mascoutah School District 19 to discuss the two detentions given to their daughter, Megan, for hugging friends goodbye for the weekend. School officials said the eighth grader violated a policy banning public displays of affection. "Our whole purpose of the meeting was to get them to talk to us and discuss what changes needed to be made and if the policy) could be improved," Dean Coulter said. "We scheduled it because we figured it was the right thing to do." Her parents told her to serve the detentions to avoid getting into more trouble, and had planned to take the issue before the Board of Education at its meeting Thursday. Superintendent Sam McGowens said in a statement Monday that the Coutlers had withdrawn their request to speak at the meeting, and decided instead to meet with administrators. "I'm grateful they sought this meeting and we could have a level of discussion that helps us both understand each other's concerns more clearly"; McGowen stated. He said he and assistant superintendent Terry Gibbons met with the Coulters on Friday and discussed the policy that led to the detentions. it on an annual basis and that's where we left it," he said. "We told them that we reviewed Coulter said McGowen was very receptive during the meeting, and that the family is satisfied with the district's promise to at least look into revising the policy. "I just feel like we've accom- plished what we wanted to accom- plish, and that was for them to talk to us," he said.

The fee increase is to compensate for rising inflation rates in the parts of the University that are funded by student fees. The entities of the University asking for an increase to student fees are: Watkins Memorial Health Center, the Student Recreation and Fitness Center, the Parking Department, the Student Union and Legal Services for Students. Both Watkins and the Parking Department received increases last year for similar reasons. Riley Dutton, Pittsburg senior and chair of the finance committee, wrote the legislation. "You have to find a balance between what students need and not pricing them out of an education," Dutton said. Dutton said that the fee increase was to maintain the current services while factoring in inflation. According to Student Senate rules and regulations, the campus fee review committee, a subcommittee of the finance committee, reviews fees twice a year. Dutton said that one review was in the fall semester to look at any necessary changes due to inflation, and the second review was in the spring semester to look at adding to or taking away any fees due to a change of services. Dutton said that this is the first year the campus fee review committee existed and that one of its purposes has been to ask the entities of the University funded by student fees to make projections of how much they will ask for in coming years. The entities were required student fees NAME OF FEE CURRENT FEE PROPOSED FEE Student Senate Activity Fee $17.50 $17.50 Student Union Building Fee $39 **$41** Student Union Renovation Fee $12 $12 Student Health Operations Fee $103.75 **$110** Student Health Facilities, Maintenance and Equipment Fee $1.50 $1.50 Child Care Facility Construction Fee $4 $4 Women's and Non-Revenue Intercollegiate Sports Fee $40 $40 Student Recreation Operations Fee $11.50 **$41.20** Student Recreation Bond Fee $52.50 **$29.30** Student Recreation Sports Clubs Fee $3 $3 Student Recreation Facilities and Maintenance Fee $1 $1 Student Media Fee $5 $5 Campus Safety Fee $2 $2 Educational Opportunity Fee $6 $6 Campus Transportation Fee $36 **$38.70** Campus Environmental Improvement Fee $3.75 $3.75 Legal Services $8.50 **$10.20** Newspaper Readership Program Fee $4 $4 Multicultural Resource Center Construction Fee $3.50 $3.50 Multicultural Resource Center Services, Operations and Programs Fee $1.50 $1.50 Multicultural Resource Center Multicultural Education Fund $1.50 $1.50 Multicultural Resource Center Long-term maintenance Fund $.25 $.25 Student Union Activities Fee $5 $5. SafeRide Fee $10 $10 Wireless Implementation Fee $5 $5 TOTAL FOR CURRENT FEE: $377.75 TOTAL FOR CURRENT FEE: $377.75 TOTAL IN PROPOSED FEES: $396.90 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CURRENT AND PROPOSED FEES: $19.15 to submit projections to Student Senate with where they will need fees to be through the fiscal year 2012. The projections show a steady rise for the next four years, but Dutton said that would be better than allowing fees to remain static for several years and then asking for dramatic increases. Dutton said that the projections could change, but that as of now, student fees are expected to cost about $450 per semester in 2012. Carol Seager, director of health services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that Watkins, which asked for an increase of $6.25 this year, often had to ask for larger-than-average increases because inflation was greater on pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said that the department had to ask for an increase year because the Parking Department used a new bus system this year that is more expensive than years past. Dutton said that the Parking Department asked for more funding than the $2.70 increase to the Campus Transportation Fee that Student Senate will vote on tonight. Hultine said that even if the Parking Department received the increase in student fees, it would still have a deficit and would need to look at other ways to balance its budget. Dutton said that the increase Student Senate will vote on tonight is within the rate of inflation that University costs typically increase at, which is about 5 percent. Dutton also said that any student can be a member of the finance committee. He said that it is not limited to senators or elected officials, and that any student who attends two meetings can have the right to vote on issues such as student fees. Student Senate meets tonight at 6:30 in the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union. Edited by Amelia Freidline 》 HEALTH Group promotes better choices for campus food ccondron@kansan.com BY COURTNEY CONDRON Weekends may be full of Wheel pizza and late-night Jimmy John's orders, but during the week, students can make healthier eating choices through KU Dining Services. "Being a college students is stressful anyway," Jessica Melhuse, Chicago junior and member of the HOMEBASE task force, said. "If you eat better, then you feel better about your body, and you will have an overall better self-esteem, which can help you do better all around in every aspect." Students on the campus task force HOMEBASE (Healthy Options for Movement, Exercise, Body Acceptance and Savvy Eating) are promoting healthier food choices called Better Bites. To be considered part of Better Bites, food has to be less than 600 calories and 24 grams of fat. Also, milk and cheese have to be low-fat, poultry has to be without the skin and fruit has to be unsweetened. Members of the HOMEBASE task force, passed out samples of the MegaVega Wrap to customers at the Burge Union on Tuesday. Students also received punch cards, and if they purchase five Better Bites meals, they get the sixth one free along with a free water bottle. Bites are sushi, salad, some of the grab-and-go sandwiches and some of the smoothies. Other items included in the Better "It's a good program, because it helps us recognize what were eating if there aren't nutrition facts on the side," Kramer said. Sonja Kramer, Mustang, Okla. law student, said she had noticed the Better Bites logo on some of the sushi items. Ann Chapman, coordinator of the task force, said that when the program began in 2000, the task force polled students, and had strong feedback that students wanted these options. "There are obvious health benefits, but just as important is that students requested this." Chapman said. "The feedback has been very positive." The HOMEBASE task force has also done activities such as the Milk Mustache promotion at the Student Recreation Center to promote drinking milk, and each year they sponsor Celebrate EveryBody Week at the end of March. "It's important for students to start eating healthy now." Melhuse said. "Then it's easier to continue later in life as their metabolism starts to slow down."

Because the recent decision by the Sebelius Administration means Kansas will import more natural gas from countries like Russia, Venezuela, and Iran. As demand for electricity increases in Kansas and across the country, our state has the opportunity to lift a leader in the light to reduce our reliance on foreign energy by utilizing America's most abundant fuel resource = urban coal. As demand for electricity increases in Russia the gap will be the light to reduce our reliance. Gaspower - clean coal. Unfavorable the Solution Administration rejected a plan to build a much-needed, coal-tuned power plant near Novosibirsk. The applications of this technology - higher electric bills, lost economic activity, and reduced fuel costs - affect Russias for years to come. Kansans will be exotic to high-energy natural resources. unlimited - clean coal Unlikelyly the Sebastian Administration rejected a plan to build a multitier, hybrid Hibernic. The question was of this decision - higher economic bills, high economic activity, and reduced energy security - when Kenxess years for training without a new generation coal-tolerant Korea. Koreans will be captive to high-priced natural gas, being held hostage in some of these same countries for oil. The chance is simple - clean coal from Middle America versus expensive gas from the Middle East. FACT: Natural gas prices have more than tripled since 1999. FACT: Domestic natural gas production is flat and well below peak production levels. Liquefied Natural Gas imports have risen 44 percent this year alone. FACT: Government experts predict that growth in natural gas demand will have to be met by imports - much of it coming from hostile countries in unstable parts of the world. FACT: The United States has enough coal for the next 250 years, and it's cleaner than ever before. THE PERMIT TO BUILD A BIG, CO2-EMITTING, 1400MEGAWATT, COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT AT HOLCOMB WAS DENIED IN A RECENT DECISION BY GOVERNOR SEBELIUS' ADMINISTRATION TO SPARE THE AIR KANSANS BREATHE. THE COURAGEOUS ACTION HAS REAPED A BUMPER CROP OF UNTRUTHS. WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAR THE AIR. FACT: Without new coal-fueled plants in our state, experts predict that electric bills will skyrocket and Kansans will be more dependent than ever on hostile foreign energy sources. Call your state legislators today at 1-800-432-3024 and tell them our state's electricity must come from clean, affordable, reliable coal - America's energy future. Nucleotide Sequence: 5'-CGCGAGAACACCGGGATTCGCAGGACGCCGAGAAAGCAGGGAAGCCGAGGAGCCGAGG CLEAN U.S. NATURAL GAS IS ABUNDANT KNOW YOUR POWER TO KNOW THE TRUTH KANSAS HAS NO NEED TO IMPORT IT. HERE, WE REPRINT AND REFUTE THE CONTENT OF A RECENT AD PRODUCED BY THE COAL FOLKS ... CLAIM #1: "Why are these men smiling? (Russia's Putin, Venezuela's Chavez and Iran's Ahmadinejad) Because the recent decision by the Sebelius Administration means Kansas will import more natural gas from countries like Russia, Venezuela and Iran." THES.E. Zero natural gas would be (or ever has been) imported from Russia, Venezuela or Iran.America has NEVER imported natural gas from these countries.Less than 1% of the natural gas consumed in this country comes from any source beyond North America. Kansas produces more gas than it uses and exports much of it as a valuable source of jobs and tax payments. N CLAIM #2: "As demand for electricity increases in Kansas and across the country, our state has the opportunity to be a leader in the fight to reduce our reliance on foreign energy by utilizing America's most abundant fuel resource - clean coal." ALL FALSE, for the following reasons: "Reduce our reliance on foreign energy"? Rejecting coal will NOT increase our reliance on foreign energy if we stick with American energy sources like natural gas, wind and solar. By turning away from coal, Kansas can be a leader not just in using American energy, but clean energy that doesn't degrade health, the environment and economic development with pollution. American. Abundant. Natural gas is as American as coal is (see #1)- and abundant-but adds the profound advantage of being clean, with half the carbon emissions of coal and virtually no mercury or particulates. Coal emits a lot of both. The vast abundance of natural gas has just begun to be understood. Recent studies confirm North America has a 120-year supply. Source: Potential Supply of Natural Gas in the U.S., Golden, CO, Sept 2007; Canadian Potential Gas Agency, Dec. 2006. Proved natural gas reserves are at their highest levels in 30 years. Source: LNG Intelligence Nov. 7, 2007. There is no such product as so-called "clean coal." The term is misleading. Look at coal's long list of pollutants and see if you think it's "clean." In fact, "clean coal" is only a GOAL, not a reality. A recent MIT study. "The Future of Coal," found cleaner coal technologies need more than 10 years of "research development and demonstration" before theyll be ready to use. Risky, so-called clean coal technology would require pumping astounding quantities of liquefied carbon dioxide into Kansas soil, a bad idea. CLAIM #3: "Unfortunately, the Sebelius Administration rejected a plan to build a much-needed, coal-fueled power plant near Holcomb. The implications of this decision - higher electric bills, lost economic activity and reduced energy security - will affect Kansas for years to come." The plant rejection was fortunate and the implications described are ALL FALSE: "A much-needed plant" to avoid "lost economic activity"? FALSE. Western Kansas deserves jobs that don't jeopardize the health and well-being of its citizens Remember, as soon as construction is over, most of the jobs are gone but the pollution would burden generations of Kansans, forever. A gas-fired plant should be built and linked to Kansas wind power. That's an economic plan with a future. "Higher electric bills"? In fact, those will result from choosing coal. "Since December 2003, Powder River Basin coal prices have shown a 300% increase and coal transportation costs have been no less volatile." Source: 2007 UtilPoint International, Inc. Add coal pollution's well-documented harm to health and the medical care it requires. Add the price of building coal plants, which is about four times the cost of a natural gas plant.And the carbon pollution taxes we all know are imminent will just add to the tab. Meanwhile, natural gas prices have increased only about 46% in the past five years - less than oil (up 143%), steel (up 150%), milk (up 100%) and many other commodities. "Reduced energy security"? FALSE. Again, the natural gas Americans use is American. (For more, see #1 and #2.) CLAIM #4: "Without the new, next-generation coalfueled plants, Kansans will be captive to high-priced natural gas, allowing hostile foreign countries to control the energy policy of Kansas and America. We are already being held hostage to some of these countries for oil." ALL FALSE, for the following reasons: "New, next-generation" coal plants? If the Know Your Power Kansas is a coalition funded by Chesapeake Energy Corporation. proposed plant were built, Kansans would still be without a "next-generation" model - because the technology doesn't yet exist. For the foreseeable future, it's risky experimental and utterly unaffordable (see #3). "High-priced"? FALSE. (That's the pot calling the kettle black! We now know the old "coal is cheap" claim is wrong because of the high cost of pollution and the high cost of building coal plants (Holcomb's price at $3.5 billion would be paid by Kansans and would probably be much higher). Meanwhile, natural gas is a clean-burning, all-American bargain. No "hostile foreign country" needed Plus, less heart and lung disease, asthma and other serious pollution-caused diseases. CLAIM #5: "The choice is simple ... clean coal from Middle America versus expensive gas from the Middle East." FALSE: None of Kansas' natural gas comes from the countries named in the ad. In fact, more than 99% of the natural gas Americans use comes from North America. (See #1.) Do not be misled on this important fact! CLAIM #6: "Natural gas prices have more than tripled since 1999." TRUE: However, coal has also demonstrated that it is not immune to higher prices, increasing 300% during the past few years, and prices are still rising (see #4). On a BTU-equivalent basis, natural gas prices are roughly 50% of oil. CLAIM #7:"Domestic natural gas production is flat and well below peak production levels. Liquefied Natural Gas imports have risen 44% this year alone." FALSE: U.S. natural gas production rose by 2.5% in 2006 (1.25 billion cubic feet a day) and 2007production is likely to be even higher. Potential gas reserves in the U.S. are up by 17% over two years ago. Most of the new production is coming from the Mid- Continent region, which includes Kansas. CLAIM #8: "Government experts predict that growth in natural gas demand will have to be met by imports much of it coming from hostile countries in unstable parts of the world." FALSE: Again, more than 99% of the natural gas Americans use comes from North America. See "abundant supply" discussion above. (Identify your "government experts," we're glad to get them the facts.) CLAIM #9: "The U.S. has enough coal for the next 250 years, and it's cleaner than ever before." FALSE: FALSE: Coal is NOT clean and "cleaner than ever before" is an empty claim. There is no proven technology to remove carbon, mercury, particulates or other pollutants from coal emissions. (See the MIT study, #2.) The DOE Clean Coal Technology Roadmap defines the future benefit of "clean coal" as being near-zero CO2 plants, but the proposed Holcomb plant would emit 10 million tons of CO2 each year - making it one of the largest polluters in Kansas. [Source: Sierra Club fact sheet: pUBLIC.SCHOOL.CRICLE.LAIR.NET.taxetext http://www.kansas.sierraclub.org/Wind/FactSheet-Myth-vs-Facts.pdf} CLAIM #10: "Without new coal-fueled plants in our state, experts predict that electric bills will skyrocket and Kansans will be more dependent than ever on hostile, foreign energy sources." FALSE: FALSE: Kansas would only receive 15% of the 1400 megawatts of power the proposed coal-fueled plant at Holcomb would generate (210 MW), because 85% of its output would go out of state. Kansans, though, would be stuck with 100% of the plant's pollution! It would be far wiser, cheaper and more environmentally friendly to build a natural gas/wind power system for that 210MW of capacity that Kansas needs.

NEWS 7A THE CROSSING Popular Oread bar will close Extra 3.99 BUD LIGHT BUD LIGHT The Crossing, located at 12th and Oread streets, closes Dec.6. The bar has been popular for beer bong and friendly staff. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Oread Inn could be erected BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com The Crossing will close its doors forever after one last party on Dec. 6, Stop Day Eve, according to management. The bar, located on 12th and Oread streets, will be demolished sometime during Winter Break. It's possible that Oread Inn could be built on the same site as the Crossing. The City Commission had the opportunity to approve the development plan for the hotel Tuesday night, but as of press time, the commission's decision was unknown. Beat the Bookstore, Big Burrito and the already-closed Yello Sub would also be demolished if the Oread Inn proposal passed. Marie Pile, Kansas City, Mo. senior and manager of The Oread Inn is a seven-story structure that would feature 74 hotel rooms, condos, restaurants and an underground parking garage. It would have a height of 94 feet, which is about 50 feet shorter than Fraser Hall. The Oread Inn plan also calls for reconstruction of the intersection of 12th and Oread streets. Crossing, said a demolition planner came to the bar Tuesday afternoon. She said the bar staff knew The Crossing's days were numbered since the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission voted 9-1 to formally "We're all scared about losing recommend Oread Inn for approval by the City Commission in late October.

It's like waiting for a death sentence." About 20 people were at the Crossing at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. The bar is usually full of students on weekends. Dani Singer, Overland Park freshman, Paige Crosswhite, Louisburg freshman, Mauren Prindahl, Chicago freshman, Marlena Adams, Cancun freshman and Nathan Jones, a Johnson County Community College student, all expressed concern about the scheduled closing of the Crossing. "It's the best bar in Lawrence," Jones said. "I have a lot of memories here of just being with all my friends and having to drop all my classes because I want to get drunk every night." "We believe the Crossing should stay open," Singer said. "They should build the hotel above it." only bar in town with beer pong and that it had the friendliest workers.

But Pile said nothing was for sure and that the talks were preliminary. Edited by Rachael Gray PARKING Spaces to open in front of recreation center BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com The Parking Commission yes University students without a yellow permit may find it easier to park in front of the Student Recreation and Fitness Center next semester. The Parking terday approved a proposal by Ray Wittlinger, Olathe senior and student body vice president, to open the row of about 50 parking spaces directly in front of the recreation center in order to allow students who do of the row of spaces to inform students with yellow permits that they could not park in that row. She said that signs cost about $100 each. "It will be especially beneficial to students who want to use the Rec throughout the day." not or cannot own a yellow permit to park and use the Center during day time hours. RAY WITTLINGER Student Body Vice President Hultine also said that she and Wittinger would review the new parking system near the end of next semester. They will then report to Once the plan is implemented, students who own a yellow permit cannot park in those spots between 8 a.m and 4 p.m., when they have access to the rest of the parking lot in front of the recreation center. Wittlinger said that he still needed to work with the Parking Department to finalize details of the plan, but the parking spots would be available by the start of the spring semester. According to the proposal, students must own a valid University parking permit and can park in front of the recreation center for a maximum of three hours. Wittlinger said that students can park, go into the recreation center and take a parking permit, place it on their dashboard and then workout and return the permit when they are done exercising. "It will be especially beneficial to students who want to use the rest throughout the day." Wittlinger said. Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said that she would buy signs to place at both ends the Parking Commission at its last meeting of the year about how the system worked. She said that at that time the Parking Commission would decide if any changes needed to be made. "Next semester is an experiment." Hultine said. Wittlinger said that Student Senate would promote the new system throughout campus and especially to freshmen. Freshman can benefit the most because they are not allowed to buy yellow permits, and therefore do not have access to the lot in front of the recreation center. Wittlinger said that he was excited to complete the project, which was one of the platform issues he campaigned on when running for vice president with Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president. NATION "It is exciting for us to call this a success, while reviewing it to make sure it's working," Wittlinger said. "It's really exciting for us to be able to work this closely with the Parking Commission to be able to pass this. I can't wait to see it implemented and see students benefit from it." - Edited by Rachael Gray No confidence in Oral Roberts president ASSOCIATED PRESS BY JUSTIN JUOZAPAVICIUS TULSA, Okla. — Embattled Oral Roberts University president Richard Roberts, facing accusations he misspent university funds to support a lavish lifestyle, has received a vote of no confidence by the tenured faculty at the evangelical university. The resolution was approved by faculty Monday and obtained late Tuesday by The Associated Press. Faculty plan to distribute the nonbinding document to the school's Board of Regents and the faculty assembly at an upcoming meeting. Donald Vance, a professor of biblical languages and literature who voted with the majority, said the vote by a quorum of faculty was "nearly unanimous," but he declined to give the exact tally. “It’s essentially how the university has been run,” said Vance, who has taught at the 5,700-student school for 13 years. "We see the Board of Regents as allies wanting to do the right thing, but we're not sure they know everything and we're not sure they knew how the faculty felt." Jeremy Burton, a spokesman for Oral Roberts University, declined to comment on the vote Tuesday. Richard Roberts has been on temporary leave while an investigation into the school's finances continues. Accusations of lavish spending were detailed in a wrongful termination lawsuit filed Oct. 2 by three former ORU professors. The lawsuit includes allegations of a $39,000 shopping tab at one store for Richard Roberts' wife, Lindsay, a $29,411 Bahamas senior trip on the university jet for one of Roberts' daughters and a stable of horses for the Roberts children. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Richard and Lindsay Roberts denied wrongdoing. Richard Roberts has said the lawsuit amounted to "intimidation, blackmail and extortion." Tulsa attorney Gary Richardson, who filed the lawsuit against ORU on behalf of the former professors, said he was "encouraged" to see that steps are being taken to preserve the university. "When we filed the suit, I said I really personally believe that this lawsuit is very much like surgery," Richardson said Tuesday. "When there's disease in the body, sometimes it requires surgery in order for there to be healing." Last week, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley announced a Senate investigation into whether six televangelists violated their organizations' tax-exempt status by living lavishly on the back of small donors. The Robertses were not among the six.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN White: Student Union Activities should spend fees on events with wider appeal. WWW.KANSAN.COM WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14.2007 EDITORIAL BOARD PAGE 9A Sports ticket pick-up turns chaotic Retrieval of football and basketball tickets soured by long lines, bribes, overlapping dates The evidence that the Nov.24 football game between Kansas and between Kansas and Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium will be one for the record books was winding around Allen Fieldhouse Monday. Students sacrificed time and sleep to get prime seats. In hindsight, procedures for ticket dispensation and student seating could have been better thought out. The first day of ticket pick-up for the football game coincided with the second round of ticket pick-up for men's basketball. Two windows handled the football crowd while the other two did篮球 tickets. This resulted in more traffic and confusion than there would have been if only one program's tickets had been given out Monday. Had pick-up been scheduled separately, all windows could have been open for one sport, increasing efficiency. Basketball pick-up should have taken place, say, the latter part of last week. Standing in line to pick up football tickets meant that many students were unable to attend class Monday. Seeing as the primary objective of going to Kansas is, ideally, to gain a college education, it seems ridiculous to make students choose between class and football by scheduling pick-up on a weekday. The most unbelievable aspect of Monday's ticket pick-up was the prevalence of bribes—people paying other students to wait in line and get their tickets for them. Bribery is at the very least distasteful. Those offering the bribes came off as lazy people who can't be bothered to make sacrifices, while those taking the bribes were basically selling themselves out, as well as the people behind them in line. Getting good student seats at a KU sporting event should not be based on how much cash someone is willing to fork over. We all pay the same flat fee for auspiciously the same quality of tickets. The pick-up system for this game, however, invites such behavior by having students line up for the tickets. The most reasonable solution would be to include the actual ticket in the student sports pack. Students could arrive at Arrowhead to line up for seats at a reasonable time before the game, and fill in a designated student section accordingly. This works for student seating at home games. Designating a solid bloc of the stadium for student seating would be a better alternative than having a small section of seating at one endzone with the rest scattered throughout the rest of the stadium. Not only would students have better seats in general, but a consolidated student section would add to the experience of the game. Should the Jayhawks advance, the Athletics Department is generously giving students free tickets to the Big 12 championship. Hopefully ticket pick-up for that event will go smoother, and a true student section will be fleshed out. HEY, MAN. HOW'S THE TICKET LINE? WHAT TICKET LINE? I SIT HERE EVERY DAY. BUT YESTERDAY PEOPLE STARTED GIVING ME LOTS OF MONEY. TO HOLD THEIR SPOTS? WHAT? DRAWING BOARD BURGERTIMES MAX RINKE YouTube star provides valuable social commentary Shaye Saint John's videos examine the materialism and self-absorption of modern life JACOB MUSELMANN I was reluctant to become a member of YouTube. I am not usually one to relent- I not usually one to relentlessly sample videos online, and I thought membership would somehow signify this stereotype. Amongst the numerous things that can be found on the Internet, some can be especially funny, poignant or satisfying. When I first saw Shaye Saint John, my experience was none of these things, but that is precisely what provoked me to sign up. Of the countless series of mini episodes that can be online, it is safe to say Shaye is unlike the rest. Viewers are confronted with a woman who sounds like she's been force-fed helium, comes off as an airhead and is conspicuously draped in linen. She is sometimes seen in a wheelchair, though not appearing to have any mobile difficulties, and usually involves Kiki, her burnt doll and friend, in her exploits. One of the first segments I saw was a black and white documentation of Shaye undergoing "wire therapy." This video and others like "Skin Tape" indicate an accident or trauma Shaye has experienced, resulting in her numerous conditions, which she is quite honest about. Her speech is also telling of her character. It hints at an attention disorder, as she frequently inserts superficial, thoughtless phrases into her dialogue with the viewer and others. In another video, Shaye is invited to a party and wants to tan before going, but burns her face because Kiki, who has never been known to speak, fails to re; mind how long she has been under the heat lamp. NOT SO ANGELIC Although a self-proclaimed entertainer, model, singer and actor, most of the particulars of Shaye remain a mystery. She has four prosthetic limbs, dons an array of wigs and wears a mask concealing most of her face. Aside from being disturbing (it most certainly is), her appearance can be seen as another expression of what some claim to be a critique on materialism and contemporary culture. As a prime example, in the segments "24/7" and "Tubing." Shaye is at the computer, obsessively involved in trivial online comments and self-absorbed in promoting herself online. Sound familiar? That might be the most unsettling part of it all. critique I mentioned or rather are just the next installment in viral online videos, I am not sure. I looked at some online comments myself, and found that Shaye has been received in a variety of ways. Some found her funny, others were horrified and there were also some full-fledged fans. Whether the variety of comments stem from the She has a Web site, a MySpace and a LiveJournal. Muselmann is a Tulsa, Okla. junior in journalism. Shave Saint John is namely the work of Eric Fournier. Regarded as performance art, a psycho-thriller, dark, twisted and containing undertones that speak to criminal insanity, none of the films have an ending, but still seem to tell a story. The Triggers Compilation provides a meaningful, albeit cryptic lens through which to understand sensationalism and superficiality in America, and sort of feels like one's psyche is picked over with a dentist's tool; jarring, painful process of removing a plaque to make what has been there all along feel foreign, distinct and sore. Explore culture beyond the bars Lawrence and Kansas City offer unique opportunities to experience homegrown art, music and theatre ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON With work,classes, homework and trying to get the occasional few hours of sleep, that rare free time we as students are allotted should not be taken for granted. That is assuming of course that we are all responsible with our time and studious enough, to the point that procrastination never found its way into our vocabulary and free time is rare. As we get older our tastes change in music, food and how we spend our time. They go from Barbie Dolls and G. I. Joes to beer and textbooks. As much as we all justify our late nights out as a reward for a week spent working hard and studying, every once in a while it's nice to put the shot glasses aside and experience the other things Lawrence and surrounding cities have to offer on the weekends. Whatever your taste in music, the various bars and venues around Lawrence provide a diverse scene where your chances of finding an artist or group that fits your preferences are high. The Bottleneck and The Granada host various local and mainstream artists. But also in Lawrence, you are able to experience the other end of the music spectrum if you so please. The Lied Center's event calendar always contains some form of music, be it the upcoming opera or symphonic band. I myself went to my first opera at the Lawrence Arts Center a few weeks ago. Honestly, it wasn't the best two and a half hours spent on a Friday night, but it's good to experience different genres of music. If you're just looking for some good grub, there are more than 150 restaurants or fast food places around town. Massachusetts Street contains a wide array of eateries, with five new restaurants added since the summer. From Greek and Latin American to Southern and Thai, something is bound to wet your palate. Instead of the typical Pita A couple months ago, USA Today did a feature on Kansas City's Power and Light District. Within a nine-block radius, restaurants, shopping and entertainment venues are being developed. The recently completed Sprint Center is also in this area. The first restaurant opened recently. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, which recently underwent a $200 million expansion, hosted the Kansas City Symphony, which I attended this past weekend. It was better than the opera, might I add, and I even knew one of the songs. Granted, only because it was from "Father of the Bride." I was still excited to hear something familiar. I even appreciated my art history class for the first time, when we walked around the museum and I recognized pieces and various artists. I'm sure this sounds like a visitors' guide or an excerpt from The Pitch, but I promise you it's not. With our busy schedules and desires to put the work week behind us, sometimes we all take for granted the finer things in life. Whether they be art, music, food, family, friends or even yourself. When was the last time you were walking around campus and looked around and appreciated the colors and natural beauty that the fall leaves bring? As we are expanding our minds, we must not to forget to do those things that are just good for the soul. If art or history's your thing, instead of waiting in line at the Underground then looking for a table for 20 minutes, grab an early lunch and instead take your break at the Spencer Museum of Art or Dyche Hall. Attend a lecture around campus or go swim at Robinson instead of your usual two-mile run at the rec. As important as all of our papers and tests, or for some, football games and beer are, don't take for granted the many things there are to experience and possibly become a part of in and around Lawrence and Kansas City during your time here at KU.

At this point, there's no question about it What he did with Kerry Meier after the fact was another brilliant move. Meier now plays wide receiver, running back and quarterback. His versatility makes Kansas' offense that much more dangerous. Just go back and watch Meier's fake option pass last Saturday and you'll see why having Kansas' backup quarterback on the field as a wide receiver can pay dividends. Now that's coaching. At the beginning of this season, Mangino made one of the smartest moves of his coaching career. Would the starting quarterback be sophomore Kerry Meier or redshirt sophomore Todd Reesing? Mangino finally said Reesing, who has been a perfect fit for offensive coordinator Ed Warriner's system. Since arriving to a cellar-dweller program in December of 2001, Mangino has built his team and staff to fit his plans for a successful football team. He has all of his own recruits, who under his command, have made the Jayhawks one of two undefeated teams remaining in FBS football. about it. This year, Kansas has gone from a projected fourth-place finish in the Big 12 North to No. 3 in the only poll that really matters — the BCS. Kansas is one spot out of the national title game 10 games into the season. No one, absolutely no one, would have thought this was possible. In his second year at Kansas, Mangino led his team to its first bowl game since 1995. He then took his 2005 squad to the Fort Worth Bowl and got Kansas its first winning season in a decade. Things looked up for Mangino and the 2006 season to come. But after finishing a disappointing 6-6 and blowing four late leads, many wondered whether Mangino was really the right person to turn the program around. If this season was a bust, Mangino would've been out of a job. With two regular season games remaining and a possible two more, the Jayhawks are going to finish with a winning record for the second time in Mangino's six years and are going to a bowl game for the third time in his tenure. Kansas may even make a BCS bowl game. He deserves to be recognized for his team's accomplishments this year. Kansan sports columnist Erica Johnson can be reached at ejohnson@kansan.com So who's to say that Mangino doesn't deserve to be coach of the year? Even though many people still doubt that the Jayhawks are a top-five team, each week Mangino has proved all the doubters wrong. CELEBRATING SUCCESS But for now, the Jayhawks are taking things one game at a time just like their coach has asked them to all year. Mangino's recognition will soon come after the season has finally settled down and everyone realizes that this is no dream. - Edited by Rachael Gray CELEBRATING SUCCESS TEXAS TE 6 10 TEXAS 5 14 There's a new offense in town BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com This is not the Big 12 of old. THE NEW WAVE OF OFFENSE Texas Tech coach Mike Leach brought the spread offense to the Big 12 and rode its effectiveness to a 63-37 record in seven-plus Two weeks ago, Kansas scored touchdowns on 10 consecutive drives on its way to 76 points. Last weekend, the lajhawys scored 43 points using trick plays and plenty of passes. But the fireworks provided by Kansas don't begin to describe the offensive onslaught The Big 12 Conference has experienced this season. Nebraska threw 73 points on the board last weekend and the Texas-Texas Tech game finished in a 59-43 shootout. years. Two seasons ago, the Red Raiders set an NCAA single-season scoring record and have not relented since. Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell ranks third in the nation in passing efficiency and wide receiver Michael Crabtree has the most receiving yards in the country. Since its genesis 11 years ago, the Big 12 Conference has traditionally been the home of smash-mouth football. For the most part, defense reigned and if teams gained yardage they did it through the running game. Programs such as Missouri and Oklahoma State followed Texas Tech's lead by instituting variations of the spread offense. Missouri rarely puts more than one running back in its backfield and runs its plays out of an odd extra-deep shotgun formation. "There a lot of things that make it tough to be a defensive player in this day and time," Kansas defensive coordinator Bill Young said. "The speed and athleticism of offensive players combined with new schemes on the offensive side — plus all of the running quarterbacks. All of that has put tremendous stress on defenses." This season has seen a gradual shift in offensive philosophy result in a wholesale transformation of the conference. Gone are the days of absolutely dominant defenses Kansas, which has relied on a basic spread scheme in recent years, has turned over a new offensive leaf this season with the addition of offensive coordinator Ed Warinner. such as Kansas State's 1999 group, which allowed only 2,585 yards all season. The best defense in the conference this season, Kansas, has already yielded 3,066 yards in just 10 games. Some Big 12 coaches have attributed the shift to the rising popularity of the spread offense — and teams' inability to stop it. Warinner's offense combines no-huddle elements similar to Missouri's offense with the spread principles of Texas Tech while holding onto some standard running plays. The philosophical shift has worked wonders: The Jayhawks are second in the nation in scoring offense and 10th in total yardage. "Because everybody's spreading it out, you have to have tremendous speed on defense because the game is being played out in space quite a bit, which puts a lot of pressure on your linebackers and your secondary," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "One of the key things is rushing the passer: If a team can do it with four guys, it's an advantage for them. If you rush more than four, you really put your defense and your secondary people in a tough position." QUARTERBACKS APLENTY But X's and O's are probably not the only reason behind the offensive explosion. The conference's quarterbacks are doing their fair share as well. "I would say that we're getting really good quarterback play in this league," Mangino said. "There are some very capable guys who can throw the ball. And not only throwing the ball; they can beat you with their feet." Oklahoma's Sam Bradford is the nation's most efficient passer, followed by Harrell in third place. Missouri's Chase Daniel and Kansas' own Todd Reesing sit at 11th and SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 3B FOOTBALL Talib's slump-breaker draws more attention BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Aqib Talib loves being the center of attention. He excels when his every move is under surveillance. And more importantly, he embraces it. It can be seen everywhere from pre-game warm-ups where Talib does the "Soula Boy" dance to post-game press conferences where his talkative attitude serves as a main attraction. So it should have come as no surprise that Talib's best game of the season came against Oklahoma State on Saturday after a week full of national attention. Talib's picture graced the front page of the USA Today sports section and Sports Illustrated ran a feature story on the junior cornerback during the week. But Talib was suffering a minor slump — at least by his standards. He was burned for two touchdowns the week before against Nebraska and hadn't recorded an interception in four weeks. In front of a national television audience, Talib escaped the slump by recording nine tackles, one tackle for loss, one interception and one pass break-up. He also made the hit that took out star OSU wide receiver Adarius Bowman for the rest of the regular season. "It was a little drought," Talib said. "The drought is over, you know what I mean. We're coming. Let's go and keep it moving now." KU 3 KANSAS 3 If Talib can keep it moving, he certainly has the opportunity to permeate the nation's conscience further and add some hardware to his living room. A representative of the Jim Thorpe Association, which annually gives the Thorpe Award to the nation's best defensive back, was at Boone Pickens Stadium last weekend to watch Talib. Talib has already been named one of 12 semi-finalists for the award. After receiving Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors for his play against Oklahoma State, Talib is one of the favorites to be named a Thorpe finalist next week. Kansas coach Mark Mangino definitely thinks Talib is deserving of the award. Mangino has hinted on numerous occasions throughout the season that Talib is one of the nation's best defensive backs. After a 100-yard interception return earlier in the year, SEE TALIB ON PAGE 3B Junior cornerback Agib Talb love the attention his performance is getting him. After a minor slump, Talb returned to form Saturday against Oklahoma State with nine tackles, one tackle for loss, one interception and one pass break-up. KANSAN FILE PHOTO football notebook KU PLAYERS OF THE WEEK Kansas coach Mark Mangino named the players of the week from last weekend's Victory at Oklahoma State. Senior wide receiver Marcus Henry won offensive player of the week for his eight receptions, 199 yards and three touchdowns. Junior linebacker Joe Stuckey Mortensen and sophomore safety Darrell Stuckey shared the defensive honors. Mortensen made four tackles and recovered two fumbles. Stuckey recorded nine tackles and broke up two passes. Senior kicker Scott Webb earned the special teams player of the week honors for making all three of his field goal attempts. The scout team players of the weei were freshman defensive tackle Patrick Dorsey and freshman wide receiver Ryan Murphy. BROTHER-SISTER CONNECTION Though only two Kansas players are from Iowa and just one Iowa State player is native to Kansas, one Jayhawk has some close ties to Iowa State athletics. Darrell Stuckey's younger sister, Denae, plays for the Cyclone women's basketball team. Denae, a sophomore guard, attended Butler Community College for one year before transferring to Iowa State. ALL ABOUT THE TEAM "She has high energy just like I do," Darrell said. "It's funny because she plays basketball just the same way I play football." Last weekend, she started and scored 12 points in her first game as a Cyclone. Mangino downplayed the possibility of increased scrutiny on sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing because of his Heisman Award candidacy. Reesing is currently 15th in the nation in passing efficiency, has not tossed an interception in 179 consecutive pass attempts and has appeared on some analysts' short lists of Heisman contenders. "Any time any of our kids are mentioned for personal honors, I'm excited by it," Mangino said. "But that's not what propels us, and it doesn't propel Todd."

Robinson Jason UMKC shot 43 percent Sunday night. Self said the defense was better but not good enough yet. So how can Kansas fix it? Senior guard Russell Robinson said Self wants more intensity MISSED DUNKS "We've got a long ways to go." Robinson said. "He just feels like the energy level is key to playing good defense and to help one another. Help defense is big." Mario Chalmer missed one Sunday night against UMKC. Darell Arthur missed two that night. At least senior forward Darnell Jackson wasn't in that group. Last year, Jackson missed several dunks when he tried to leap from far away and throw down MARCUS HARRIS Jackson with authority. He did that Friday night against Louisiana-Monroe, except he actually completed the dunk. Jackson said he was scared of missing a dunk again. "I shocked myself," he said. "I thought I was going to miss it. It went in and got my teammates into it and gave us the momentum to keep in it and keep our energy up. I think last year I was little bit too heavy and out of shape, and now (strength and conditioning) coach (Andrea) Hudy has been working with us on our legs and strength.

Robinson said part of the blame for lack of a low post presence could be because of the guards. Titans' Jones to enter plea deal in triple shooting NFL LAS VEGAS — Suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones is prepared to take a plea deal that will get him probation in a Las Vegas strip club triple shooting in an attempt to salvage his career. "Coach is getting on us for not getting the ball inside and for the bigs not posting up enough," Robinson said. "We have to make a conscious effort to get the ball inside because that's our strength." Even so, the deal won't help 24-year-old Jones get back into the NFL this season. Las Vegas police identified Jones as the person who incited a Feb. 19 fight inside the Minxx Gentlemen's Club minutes before three people were shot outside. Under the written plea agreement obtained by The Associated Press, Jones intends to plead no contest to one charge of conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct, a gross misdemeanor $r$, in return for a promise to suspend a sentence of one year in county jail. Jones' Atlanta-based attorney Manny Arora said Tuesday the defense team believes Jones would have won a trial on two felony counts of coercion for inciting a fight inside the club. But a trial wouldn't have happened for six months or even a year. "And he may have lost another year of eligibility by going forward. In the real world, sometimes you have to make these difficult decisions for what's best for your career, and we didn't want this dragging on any further," Arora said. Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Jones for the season in April for violating the league's personal conduct policy. Off to a 6-3 start, the Titans haven't missed Jones and said last week the team would address Jones' future when he's reinstated. Goodell and Jones met Nov. 2 to discuss the suspension, but Goodell chose not to shorten Jones' punishment. The Las Vegas shooting case was a factor in that decision, and the NFL Players Association is asking Goodell to reconsider. Arora said he hopes the NFL recognizes this plea says Jones "didn't even commit any disorderly conduct in the club." "Our biggest emphasis was to clear him of any involvement in the shooting whatsoever." Arora said. The NFL declined to comment The NFL declined to comment Mangino said Talib was one of the most spectacular defenders hed coached. TALIB (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "I've had the good fortune to be around a lot of quality defensive players, All-Americans and first round draft picks," Mangino said. "I've got to tell you that one's one of the most impressive plays I've seen." Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy initially said he couldn't comment on opposing players until he watched film when asked to talk about Talib's performance against his team. But then Gundy remembered the hit Talib laid on Bowman and praised him. that he never returned to the field. Talib said even he was shaken up by the massive hit but that he didn't mean to injure Bowman. Talib leveled Bowman after he caught a quick pass hard enough "It's just a read for us. That's what we do, we've got to go get it," Talib said. "I saw it and made a good break on it. I hate to see him down like that but I was just out there playing football." Did you miss the hit against Oklahoma State or the touchdown Mangino vowed was the best he'd ever seen? Don't worry; just keep an eye on Talib because that's when he is at his best. Edited by Luke Morris MLB Cleveland Indians pitcher wins CY Young award NEW YORK — C.C. Sabatia beat Josh Beckett at last — albeit a few weeks later than he hoped. Sabatia won the Cal YOng Award on Tuesday, tipping Boston's ace and two other worthy contenders by a comfortable margin to become the first Cleveland Indians pitcher in 35 years to earn the honor. Sabathia received 19 of 28 first-place votes and finished with 119 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Beckett, who outpitched Sabathia twice in the playoffs, was second with eight first-place votes and 86 points. "I did look at a few numbers." Sabathia said on a conference call from his California home. "I definitely thought that Rockett — it could have went either way. I'm just happy and thankful that it went my way." It might have gone the other way if October results counted.

Sabatina was 1-2 with an 8.80 ERA and 13 walks in three playoff outings. "The first two I can definitely say I was trying to do too much," Sabatha said. "Just trying to make perfect pitches." John Lackey of the Los Angeles Angels got the other first-place vote and came in third. Cleveland's Fausto Carmona was fourth. Sabathia went 19-7 with "I was excited. My family and everybody were around." Sabathia said. "I was surprised. Beckett had a great year and an even better postseason." a 3.21 ERA and 209 strikeouts, pitching a major league high 241 innings.

Carmona was 19-8 with a 3.06 ERA. The only other Cleveland pitcher to win the award was Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry in 1972.

The Oklahoma victory was Kansas' first against a ranked opponent since 3-0 victory against No. 16 BYU on Sept. 7, 2005. "It's not like this team has given up," Bechard said. "We've seen a lot of teams like K-State. Obviously, the physical nature of the league prepares you for that. So it won't be something we haven't seen, but it'll be a difficult test."

Although Altidore is being called the national team's eventual savior by some pundits, 20-year-old center midfielder Bradley Middleton might be the best player of the U.S. soccer vounts. Jostim Altidore is as much of a savior as American soccer fans can imagine. Many believe the 18-year-old wunderkind is the answer to the United States national team's well-documented deficiencies at the forward position. Altidore joined the senior squad for the first time this week to the delight of frustrated Internet pundits. BY ANDREW WIEBEE KANSAN COLUMNIST AWIEBE KANSAN.COM Despite the fanfare, it's manager Bob Bradley's son Michael who could be the most important player on the field for the United States when it travels to Johannesburg to face South Africa this Saturday. Michael Bradley isn't the most talented player on the team. That title undoubtedly belongs to Landon Donovan. Bradley isn't the biggest, either. That's massive central defender Oguchi Oneywu. But Bradley fits the mold of the other type of player the United States has struggled to produce — a true two-way midfielder. Just like Altidore, Bradley is blessed with the physical attributes to become a world-class player. At the tender age of 20, his rare combination of youth and experience has propelled him to 10 national team caps, as well as a starting spot in midfield for SC Heerenveen of the Dutch Eredivisie. --minute against Switzerland, his first as a senior international, to further cement his name on his father's lineup card. Since this summer's under-20 World Cup in Canada the perception of Bradley as strictly a defensive presence seems to have been misguided. Despite scoring only one professional goal before this season, Bradley's maturation as a player has resulted in the kind of multidimensional play U.S. fans aren't accustomed to. Until recently Bradley was known as the kind of tireless defensive destroyer the United States has produced in droves. He was talented enough to provide the valuable link between defense and midfield, but proved awkward in the attacking third, lacking the finishing ability to be a true threat in front of goal. He has hit the back of the net six times in 13 games for his current club after spending most of last season as a substitute. Bradley also notched the last-gasp game winner for the national team in the 86th usa vs. south africa International friendly Saturday, Nov. 17, 8 a.m. TV — Fox Soccer Channel (Sunflower channel 149) to concentrate on being the type of attacking threats the U.S. so desperately needs. By adding scoring goals to his repertoire, Bradley has all but assured he will be a national team stalwart in the middle of the park. Other promising prospects such as Benny Feilhaber, Maurice Edu, Freddy Adu and Danny Szetela face a battle to claim the spot alongside him in what could be the most gifted pool of midfield talent the United States has ever had. Simply put, the coach's son is the best of the bunch. His play opens the door for other players to maximize their abilities. Bradley's ferocious tackling and ability to recover defensively allows players such as Donovan and DaMarcus Beasley The biggest hole in Bradley's game may be his penchant for overzealous challenges. He racked up three yellow cards in five games this summer in Canada and was sent off during the Gold Cup semifinal. If he can cut down on bad decisions without sacrificing his aggressive style of play, Bradley could be the backbone of the U.S. midfield for the next decade. For now, fans are fascinated by their first chance to see how the much-hyped Altidore handles international competition. American soccer enthusiasts can dream about the kind of player he could become but the truth is Altidore may not even play in Saturday's friendly. Bradley will. If the young midfielder's recent performances are any indication, Altidore may have to share the spotlight. That bodies well for the United States in 2010, when the two will return to South Africa to stake the American's claim to a real prize — the World Cup. NIKE INC.

Here are the players who pleased and disappointed over the weekend. CROWD PLEASERS BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANS AN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM QB Brett Favre, Green Bay Packers — Favre keeps rolling up the records in the NFL. This weekend against Minnesota Favre joined former Miami quarterback Dan Marino as the only other player to throw for 60,000 yards in his career. Favre completed 33 of 46 passes for 351 passing yards and three touchdowns. Favre may hold every significant quarterback record in the NFC by the end of the season. If he keeps up this level of play the Packers will definitely be playing in the NFC championship game at least. RB Selvin Young, Denver Broncos — Mike Shanahan has done it again. He has taken a relatively un-hyped running back in an NFL draft and made him a feature back in the Denver offense. This year it is more of a surprise because the Broncos signed Travis Henry in the off-season to be the featured back in the Denver backfield. An injury to Henry, though, opened the gates for Young, a rookie from Texas. Young had 20 carries for 109 yards and one touchdown in Denver's first victory at Arrowhead stadium since 2002, according to Espn.com. Young will easily keep Denver's running game in the positive until Henry returns from his injury. WR Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys — Owens is one of the most outspoken players in the NFL, but he backs up his talk with his performance on the field. On Sunday, the Cowboys entered a big division game with Giants and Owens stepped up big in the game. Owens had six catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday, helping the Cowboys gain an early advantage over the Giants in the Division race. Owens is having another Pro Bowl year, and it's no surprise the TE Jeremy Shockey, New York Giants — Shockey did everything he could to help the Giants win on Sunday but they fell just short. The Giants had won six straight games before losing to the Cowboys for the second time this season. Shockey had 12 catches for 129 yards and one touchdown in the game. Shockey has steadily become Eli Manning's go-to option on offense this season and will continue to be a big factor in the Giants' passing game. Cowboys are challenging for the NFC championship. K Shayne Graham, Cincinnati Bengals — How often does a kicker score all of a team's points and the team wins that game? It rarely happens, but Sunday was one of those instances. Graham converted all seven field goals he attempted and the Bengals beat the Ravens. Graham was injured at the beginning of the year, but has come back strong for the Bengals. 12 COOMARTIS players CROWD PLEASERS Chargers defensive back Antonio Cromatie grabs an interception against the Colts in Sunday's game. Colts quarterback back six interceptions in Indianapolis second straight loss. Brett Favre 33/46 351 passing yards 3 touchdowns ASSOCIATED PRESS Selvin Young 20 carries 109 rushing yards 1 touchdown **Terrell Owens** 6 catches 125 receiving yards 2 touchdowns **Jeremy Shockey** 12 catches 129 receiving yards 1 touchdown Cincinnati Defense — The Bengals, dealing with injuries on defense, held the Ravens to only seven points. Now, that doesn't seem that impressive considering it's the Ravens' offense, but this was also a Cincinnati defense that had not been able to stop anybody on offense this year. The Bengals forced six turnovers on defense and were able to hold the Ravens to 272 total yards of offense. If the Bengals' defense continues playing like this, they might actually win a few more games. DISAPPOINTMENTS Alex Smith 12/28 114 yards Sacked 3 times 2 fumbles Jamal Lewis 16 carries 35 rushing yards 2 fumbles Darrell Jackson 1 catch 4 receiving yards Vernon Davis 1 catch 4 receiving yards yards. Smith was also sacked three times and fumbled the ball twice. If San Francisco wants to turn this season around, Smith will be a big part of it. RB Jamal Lewis, Cleveland Brown's — There were a lot of questions about Cleveland's quarterback situation going into the season, but now the question should be why Lewis is still starting. Lewis has rushed for more than 100 yards just once this season, and that was against an inept Cincinnati defense. In Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh, Lewis had 16 carries for 35 yards and two fumbles. If Cleveland wants to challenge for the division title or even a wild card spot, they may have to rework their running game. QB Alex Smith. San Francisco 49ers - Smith has been a big disappointment this year, along with the entire San Francisco team. They made a lot of personnel moves in the offseason, but they have not benefited the 49ers. Smith is working with his third offensive coordinator in three years and has still not settled into the offense. On Monday night he managed to complete 12 of 28 passes for only 114 DISAPPOINTMENTS WR Darrell Jackson, San Francisco 49ers — As disappointing as Alex Smith has been, Jackson might be the most disappointing 49er. Jackson was the leading receiver in Seattle last season, but has only 237 receiving yards and one touchdown in San Francisco so far. On Sunday he caught only one ball for four yards. Jackson will need to step up if San Francisco wants any production in its passing offense. K Adam Vinatieri, Indianapolis Colts — Who would've thought Vinatieri could lose a game? It actually happened on Sunday night. Vinatieri missed his only two field goals in the game, where either one could have won the game for Indianapolis. He made the lone extra point he attempted, but he has to be kicking himself for missing not one, but two field goals — a mistake he rarely makes. Vinatieri will easily recover from this setback because he is arguably the best kicker in the league. TE Vernon Davis, San Francisco 49ers — Yes, I am putting three 49ers on the list of worst performances. Frankly, I am tired of their underachieving ways, especially Davis. Davis was one of the most talked about tight ends in the NFL draft two years ago. An injury slowed him last year, but disappointing production has hampered him this year. San Francisco let his veteran counterpart Eric Johnson get away in the offseason, and Davis performed poorly. I guess the 49ers should just take consolation in the fact that they most likely have the defensive rookie of the year playing on their team, because their offense is a joke. Minnesota Defense — It is no secret that Minnesota's pass defense is terrible, and Brett Favre had no problem proving that. But the Vikings had the second best rushing defense in the NFL entering Sunday's contest and yielded more than 100 rushing yards to a running back for the first time this season. No one would have been surprised if that happened last week when the Vikings faced LaDainian Tomlinson of the Chargers, but the Vikings gave up 119 yards to rookie Ryan Grant of the Packers. Minnesota's defense has been keeping them in games this season, but on Sunday it failed to protect its weak offense. The defense will need to refocus if it wants to compete in the NFC North division. - Edited by Rachael Gray I can't miss class because my grades matter to me. REPORT CARD Math English Psychology e e.

Johnson was injured during a game against the Green Bay Packers two weeks ago. Johnson out against Colts BY JOHN MARSHALL ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The swelling in Larry Johnson's injured right foot is subsiding, though not enough for the Kansas City Chiefs running back to play this week against the Indianapolis Colts. Johnson, injured two weeks ago while being tackled from behind by Green Bay's A.J. Hawk, is scheduled to meet with a foot specialist on Monday. The team is still calling the injury a mid-foot sprain despite a report last week saying he had a broken foot. The team ruled Johnson out for Sunday's game at Indianapolis and Johnson rushed for more than 1,700 yards each of the previous two seasons and was starting to come around before the injury, going over 100 yards three times in five games after a slow start to the season. His injury forced the Chiefs to turn to Priest Holmes, who returned three weeks ago after missing two years with a spinal-cord injury. said his condition will be evaluated each week. "Obviously, you don't want to max him out," Edwards said Tuesday. "You don't want him to touch the ball over 30 times. That's too much. You're kidding yourself. We're not going to say all sudden you're getting 30 carries. We're just not going to do that." Holmes looked good in his first full game last week, rushing for 65 yards on 20 carries in a 27-11 loss to Denver, though Chiefs coach Herm Edwards isn't ready to put the full load of Kansas City's offense on his shoulders. That means Holmes, a three-time Pro Bowler, will likely share carries with rookie Kolby Smith, who had two yards on two carries against Denver. Both backs have a more shifty style than the power-running Johnson, which led the Chiefs to dig a little deeper into their playbook last week.

Denver won the game 27-11. ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Trent Green played for three teams before arriving in Kansas City. Elvis Grbac was a castoff from San Francisco. ASSOCIATED PRESS Joe Montana? He ensured his spot in the Hall of Fame long before arriving at Arrowhead Stadium. Even Kansas City icon Len Dawson spent five seasons as a backup in Pittsburgh and Cleveland before leading the Chiefs to their only Super Bowl, and himself to Canton. Throughout Chiefs history, back to the day Lamar Hunt founded the Dallas Texans in 1960, one common thread runs through: The team's best quarterbacks have come from somewhere else. The Chiefs hope that trend will finally end with Brodie Croyle, who will make his first career start Sunday at Indianapolis. "He's a guy we drafted, a guy we said at the end of the day we need to find out if he can play quarterback," Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said Tuesday, a day after announcing Croyle will start in place of Damon Huard. "Well, now it's his turn. We're going to find out the next seven weeks." arm, but if a quarterback can't read NFL defenses or doesn't have that mental edge to push himself and his teammates, chances are he'll never live up to the potential his body provides. drafting-a-quarterback thing right, rarely using high draft picks on quarterbacks, ending up with players such as Mike Elkins and Dave Jaynes when they did. Drafting a great quarterback — or even a solid one — has never been easy. Too often, teams become enamored of physical attributes of a quarterback and don't pay attention to the intangibles separating greatness from mediocritic. It's one thing to have size, speed and a strong Kansas City's most glaring error came during the great quarterback draft of 1983, when the team HERM EDWARDS Coach The Chiefs have yet to get this "It's very hard in this league and that's why teams are always searching for a quarterback," Edwards said. "If you look at the teams that have been successful over the years and have been on top, they've got a good quarterback now, that triggerman's a pretty good player." That's why the list of first-round busts — Tim Couch, Akill Smith, Ryan Leaf — seems so much longer than the list of first-round stars. "It's very hard in this league and that's why teams are always searching for a quarterback." passed on Dan Marino and Jim Kelly, using the seventh overall pick instead on career underachiever Todd Blackledge. So instead of utilizing the draft, the Chiefs have tried for that quick fix. plugging in veteran quarterbacks who already know the nuances of the NFL and won't make the mistakes of inexperience. The plan has worked at times, with Green, Montana and Dawson having their share of success in a Chiefs uniform. But it's come at the expense of developing young quarterbacks. "There's always been somewhat of a void there and consequently the quick fix takes care of that; there's been a lot of patchwork that's been done," said Lynn Stiles, Kansas City's vice president of football operations. "It's nobody's fault, it's just a situation that's existed. It takes time to get your own guy." The Chiefs would like to think they finally have that guy in Croyle. Kansas City used a third-round draft pick last year to get Croyle. Alabama's all-time passing leader, marking the first time since 1989 (when they took Elkins) the Chiefs picked a quarterback above the fourth round. The change in strategy comes in large part from Edwards, who's turned to youth in his second year of rebuilding the Chiefs. "We have to find out about these young players that you draft. That's why you draft them," Edwards said. "You can't keep baby-sitting them and say when he's a five-year player, he's going to play. We don't do that. They're going to play." Croyle seemed poised for his chance at the start of training camp. But Croyle struggled through most of the preseason, so the Chiefs opened with Huard, a career backup who played well after Green was injured in the first game of last season.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI KANSAS CITY 7 p.m.; Wednesday, Allen Fieldhouse KU TIP-OFF PLAYER TO WATCH Freshman Nicollette Smith Smith was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the Week after her blistering debut of 19 points and 10 rebounds. The Tulsa, Okla. Native was 4-of-7 from beyond the arc and 7-for-7 from the free throw line in the Jayhawks 76-72 victory over Hartford on Sunday. She isn't afraid to pull the trigger from anywhere on the court, and at 6-foot-2 she can also post up on the block. OFFENSE Kansas won't always be able to shoot nearly 70 percent from beyond the arc, but it's nice to see that it can from time to time. The Jayhawks' inside game has been struggling — Hartford out-scored Kansas 30-14 in the paint — and that needs to improve before Kansas gets to its conference opponents. Freshman Nicollette Smith recorded a double-double in her first collegiate debut, a great start for the 6-foot-2 sharp shooter. While sophomore Danielle McCray leads Kansas in points most nights, the team needs strong outings from Smith and sophomore Sade Morris to pick up the slack when McCray is off. ★★★★☆ The Jayhawks offense is good at building up a lead and unfortunately, their defense is pretty good at giving that lead back. Kansas held a 15-point advantage in the first half of its Sunday afternoon win, then allowed Hartford to get within two points at several times in the second half. The Jayhawks still give up too many three-point attempts — Hartford tossed 17 threes — and when those start dropping they're going to be in trouble. QUESTION MARK ★★☆☆★ Henrickson's crew hasn't had any trouble getting out of the gate and into a lead, but what they haven't been able to do is keep their opponent at a distance. It's nice to play with a lead as long as they can figure out how to keep the game from getting close at the end. It's a nice problem to have, but a problem none the less. Can Kansas hold a lead? OFFENSE COACHING The Kangarooos relied on a score by committee approach last season. Senior center Alysa Klein averaged 11.9 to pace the team, and and three others followed with more than eight points per contest. This year UMKC turned to Klein and sophomore guard Chazny Morris to carry the bulk of the load on the offensive end. Through two games the pair has guided the Kangaroos to two victories while combining for more than 30 points per game and 14 rebounds. Despite their success, the UMKC offense is far from prolific. The team averaged 18 turnovers per game last season and is averaging almost 20 through two games. The early season is a frustrating time for coaches, because with few exceptions there are more mistakes than good plays. That's true for Kansas, but coach Bonnie Henrickson has a lot to be excited about. Her players are shooting lights out but the defense hasn't come around yet. Once everyone shakes the rust off, Henrickson will get to show off her full arsenal. ★★★☆★★ ★★☆☆ KANSAS 4 DEFENSE UMKC will try to funnel Kansas dribble drives into Klein to maximize her ability as a shot blocker. Last season in Allen Fieldhouse, Klein used her 6-3 frame to block seven shots. The Kangaroos are no slouches on the perimeter either. Morris and junior guard Taushelle Rushing are tenacious ball hawks that could force Kansas' point guards into silly mistakes. Rushing broke the all-time NJCAA record for steals in a season by averaging 5.8 steals per game last season at Seward County Community College Through two games the duo has combined for 14 steals and belined force 45 turnovers TENNIS ★★★☆☆ UMKC TIP-OFF PLAYER TO WATCH COACHING Taylor Bern Senior Alysa Klein Coach Candace White-Whitaker is definitely young. She is only five years removed from leading Texas Tech to consecutive Sweet Sixteen appearances. In fact, White-Whitaker is the youngest head coach at the division one level. Despite taking on her first head coaching job, she wasted no time after being hired in March. During a short period, she compiled the 38th best recruiting in the country according to the Dan Olson Collegiate Girls Basketball Report. By using her deep roots in Kansas' junior college community — four of the six commits were junior college players — she should be able to improve on last season's 10-20 campaign. If Klein can duplicate her shot-blocking performance against Kansas last season the Kangaroos could have a chance. She nearly recorded a triple double by scoring 16 points, collecting 13 rebounds and blocking seven shots. She will need to induce Kansas' post players into foul trouble and limit points in the paint to prevent a repeat of last year's 66-53 defeat when Kansas outscored UMKC 38-22 in the paint. ★★☆☆☆ Danielle McCray QUESTION MARK >> Can Kansas' guards handle the Kangaroos defensive pressure? Kansas will have to get intelligent play the point guard position tonight. The team has averaged more than 19 turnovers per game so far this season. UMKC should punish those mistakes even more than the Jayhawks three previous opponents. Kansas cannot waste possessions if it hopes to walk away with a fourth straight win. — Andrew Wiebe What will Lilly provide for my pharmaceutical sales career? Answers.

FULL STORY PAGE 3A Andrew Wacker/KANSAN ALEXANDRA MORGAN Erin Goodman, San Antonio senior, Ali Ainsworth, St. Louis sophomore, and Nora Burt, Chicago sophmore, dance together in "Baltic Sketches". The University Dance Company has been practicing for its fall concert since August. Dancers to perform after months of rehearsal Choreographer draws inspiration from Greek myth, personal experience BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com The dark curtain rushes up to the ceiling, the electric energy of violins fills the room and suddenly brightly colored dancers burst onto the stage. Dancers in lime green, hot pink, bright blue, orange and red fill the rainbow-lit stage, as a Degas-like scene comes to life in the ballet, "Pas Trés Classique". This is just one performance the University Dance Company hopes to amaze and enchant audiences with at its fall concert at 7:30 p.m. tonight and Friday in the Lied Center. This year, a show highlight is a dance choreographed by nationally known dancer, Twyla Tharp. Tharp has choreographed for films such as "Hair" and Broadway shows such as "Singin' in the Rain." She recently has given dance companies permission to use her choreography. The University Dance Company will perform her dance "Torelli," which begins with eight highly structured movement phrases that challenge dancers. Nora Burt, Chicago sophomore and company member, said her favorite part of dance was the out-of-body experience of performing on stage. Burt said Tharp's piece was challenging because the company had bought the rights to the dance and, learned it from a DVD. Therefore, the choreography had to be exact. Michelle Hayes, associate professor of dance, choreographed the dance "Cradling Persephone." She said the inspiration for the dance came from the Greek myth of Persephone, a young girl abducted by Hades.

Suzeau and many of his students perform at the Lied Center tonight and Friday, with the University Dance Company. Photos bv Andrew Wacker/KANSAN Right; Nora Burt, Chicago sophomore, displays her flexibility during the performance titled "Pas Tres Classique," one of six numbers that are part of the University Dance Company's performance at the Lied Center. She incorporated the myth with her experiences mentoring young women in the dance department, and watching them undergo the challenges of adolescence and making it on their own. She said when Kelsey Smith was abducted and murdered in Overland Park in June, she couldn't imagine what the family went through, and wanted to weave the story into her dance. Hayes said she wanted to evoke the feeling of surviving and living after trauma. Burt, who is in "Cradling Persephone," said part of the challenge of the dance was expressing the emotions the piece required. "When I'm given a character, that's a whole other dimension," Burt said. "I'm acting with the dance." The dance, which is in three parts, transi- we love to do." The concert will also include solo performances. Hayes will perform a flamenco solo, "Solea," which will be accompanied live by guitar and violin. She said the flamenco style was challenging, because if her balance got off one millimeter, she would lose the tempo of the dance. Hayes said the dancers had been committed to the fall concert since the beginning of the semester. "I get to share my passion. Performing is kind of like a high. That's what we love to do." "I get to share my passion," Bolger said. "Performing is kind of like a high. That's what TONI BOLGER West Des Moines, Iowa, senior nitions throughout the story. Hayes said it moved from a tranquil, innocent beginning, to a dynamic middle section that exudes the "mean girl" phenomena of adolescence. Finally, it ends with a feeling of survival. Toni Bolger, West Des Moines, Iowa, senior, and dancer in "Cradling Persephone," said she enjoyed telling the story through dance. Bolger said modern dance was her favorite because it could be so expressive and personal. As a senior, Bolger said the performance was especially important to her, and she was excited to show the audience what the group had been working on since August. She said dancers spent about 15 years of the lives perfecting their art, plus three hours a week this semester all for a five-minute dance on stage to display their talent. "They have no life during this semester," Hayes said. "They've practiced for three hours a week since August, plus their own personal rehearsals." "I think that's the magic," Hayes said. "I think the audience realizes there's a sense of investment." Hayes said she had a pre-performance ritual in which she placed her hands on the floor. She said she tried to meditate and soak up all the talent that had danced across the Lied Center stage. Burt said she hoped more students would attend the performance. She said the students would be impressed and surprised with the content of the show. "I think dance is under the radar," Burt said. "It's kind of a cultural experience, it's not just your little sister's dance recital."

Her first contribution to the University was $75,000 to build the Watkins Scholarship Hall for women. BY MELISSA JOHNSON In the past, KU students have called Elizabeth Miller Watkins the "Fairy Godmother" or "Lady Bountiful" of the University of Kansas. Elizabeth never formally attended the University, but she was enrolled in the preparatory school until 1875 when she was forced to drop out because of financial trouble. In the 1920s and 1930s, Watkins was the University of Kansas' biggest benefactor. Her donations to the University include two scholarship halls, the University's health center, and the chancellor's residence. The scholarship hall opened in 1926. Women who showed outstanding character and financial need could live in the hall for $27 a year, but were required to pay for their own food. After she stopped attending the University, Elizabeth became the secretary of Jabez Watkins, a local businessman. She remained his secretary for more than 30 years, and in 1909 they married. She was 46, and he was 64. Watkins was also responsible for the founding of the student health center. Before she donated the funds to the University, there was no real source of medical care for students. In 1937, Miller Hall, which she named after her brother, opened as another women's scholarship hall. Both halls are still open, and residents are still responsible for stocking their own kitchens. When Jabez died, Elizabeth According to KUhistory.com, a student was diagnosed with small-pox in 1905. There was no way to quarantine him, and the local hospital refused to treat him. So, the University secured a cabin in the middle of the Kaw River for him to stay in and friends delivered food to the island daily. Watkins Memorial Hospital opened in 1931. Watkins Memorial Hospital was later moved to a new facility and the building where it was formally housed was renamed Twente Hall, the School of Social Welfare. Elizabeth also donated funds to build Lawrence Memorial Hospital. In her will, Watkins bequeathed more of her fortune to the University. After she died in 1939, Watkins home became the chancellor's residence. She also donated a large piece of land in Southwestern Kansas to the University and set up trust funds to ensure that her gifts would able to be sustained. Edited by Meghan Murphy in brief EMERGENCY TESTING University to send text messages as new system The University will test its new emergency system by sending text messages to students, faculty and staff today. The 11,000 people who signed up for the text message system should receive a message at noon that says: "THIS IS A TEST of the KU Alert text messaging system for situations of imminent danger on campus. This is only a TEST." Students can sign up for the system at http://sa.ku.edu. According to a press release, students who signed up for the system this week will not receive the text because the database system updates itself at the end of each week. Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said that if a student does not receive a text tomorrow but thinks he or she signed up to receive one, that the student should go back to the Web site and re-enter their information. The University paid $650,000 to Rave Wireless Inc. to set up the system. Cohen said that the messaging system was instituted largely because of the event at Virginia Tech in April, in which a Virginia Tech student killed 32 students and faculty. The University began inviting UNIVERSITY SURVEY E-mail asks students to fill out survey on advisors students to sign up for the emergency system in May. The University is asking students to fill out a survey about their experiences with KU advisors. According to an e-mail sent out to students on Wednesday, the survey will also fulfill a charge of the student advisory board of the Board of Regents. Jill Jess, associate director of University Relations, said that the Regents will use the information to compare the University's advising system to other collegiate systems across the state. She said that the Office of Institutional Research and Planning will be in charge of collecting and summarizing the data. Love said that so far, only about 2 percent of students have taken the survey. Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, will send a formal invitation to University students tomorrow asking them to take the survey. The survey can be taken at https://ires.ku.edu/~demis/surveys/ AcadAdvising/AcadAdvising_Intro. html. — Erin Sommer Taylor asserted that every state prison already had cable or satellite television, but the Georgia Department of Corrections said that wasn't so. Jail requests satellite TV for football purposes ATLANTA — The warden of the Clayton County Correctional Institution wants permission to spend money for a "management tool"—satellite TV to keep his 226 inmates occupied watching football. "The reason is 'Monday Night Football' is now on cable," he said "Although it might seem funny, when you have 90 percent of inmates watching something, it is a management tool for the institution." Warden Frank Taylor is asking the Clayton County Commission to let him sign up for direct-broadcast satellite service for less than $100 a month. It would be funded with money collected at the prison's commissary and pay phones, which last year amounted to $41,000. odd news Currently, he said, inmates in the prison's five dormitories only get two TV channels, often with poor reception. The Clayton County Commission will vote on Taylor's request next week. Elvis is Alive Museum's collection to relocate ST.LOUIS — Don't count Andy Key as one of those Elvis Presley fanatics who insist the King never died. Key, 38, said he" open to the possibility"Presley is alive, but he's counting on there being enough skeptics out there to make his new business a success. With an $8,300 eBay bid, Key won the Elvis is Alive Museum's collection and plans to move the museum from its current site in Wright City, Mo., to Mississippi, where Key lives and Presley was born. "If (Eivis) wants to come to the opening, he can certainly come back," he said. Included in the collection are photographs, books, FBI files, DNA reports and other memorabilia that aim to support the theory that Presley never died. "I'll certainly go down and visit once it sets up," he said. Bill Beeny, 81, who founded the museum's collection, said he sold the collection hoping its new owner would continue his work. Key said he'd like the museum to complement the tourist attraction in Tupelo, Miss., where Presley was born and bought his first guitar. Associated Press What do you think?

Kevin Willmott, a professor in the department of theater and film, has been a member of the Writer's Guild of America since 1995, and he said he understood the current writers' strike. Willmill said the evolution of media was the source of the strike. "The way people watch television is completely changing." Willmott said. "We have new revenue sources for how movies are made." Willmill said that the Internet's ability to offer movie downloads was a major factor in why writers want more compensation, and that they deserved more payments for their films and movies when they went to DVD or were downloaded online. As a result of the strike, which has been taking place since Nov. 5, major television networks have been relying on re-runs for shows, and reality shows, such as "Dancing with the Stars," are now inscripted. Michael Good, California senior, is a film major and hopes to become a professional writer. He said he understood the reasons for the strike. "I understand why the studios might have issues, but the writers are completely right," Good said. "They deserve money for Internet sales and for when they go to DVD." Good is writing multiple film scripts, so it is important for him to follow the strike, he said. "I'm definitely watching, because in a certain amount of years I'll hopefully be working professionally, and this strike could very well impact me in the future," Good said. Willmott said show business was bizarre because writers could have long careers with little of their work being produced. He said he had worked with director and writer Oliver Stone, whose film credits include "Scarface" and "Any Given Sunday", and that he also wrote scripts for Chris Columbus, the director behind "Home Alone", but that none of the scripts had been produced yet. In 2000, NBC picked up and aired his mini-series, "The 70s," which received critical acclaim Willmott said the last writers' strike, which took place in 1988, took a toll on his family and helped him make his decision to work independently from movie studios. Willmott, who grew up in Kansas, became a professor at the University seven years ago. John Staniunus, chairman of the department of theatre and film, said Willmott's experiences had made him a great professor and helped him to improve film students. "Knowing the business of writing is as important as being a skilled writer," Staniunas said. "Having Professor Willmott on our faculty allows our students to not only become good writers, but savvy writers." Although he's a professor, Willmott still makes time for his writing career. In 2004, his film "C.S.A: Confederate States of America" went to the AMPTP: I REALLY HATE YOU RIGHT NOW ON YOUR DEATHBED, YOU WON'T BE PROUD OF HOW YOU SCREWED Writers OUT OF MONEY... Sarah Silverman, left, and Kathy Griffin join members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and others on the picket line in front of Universal Studios and Universal City theme park in Universal City, Calif., Tuesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Sundance Film Festival before going to DVD, Director Spike Lee saw the film, and because he enjoyed it, he introduced the film at Sundance. Willmott said Sundance was an event he would remember and use as a stepping stone toward the future. He said he is now working on two films, "The Only Good Indian" and "Bunker Hill." "It was really a beautiful experience, and now I'm making movies in Kansas and trying to build on it," Willmott said. Edited by Rachel Bock Student Senate notebook BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com Full Student Senate met last night and voted on several pieces of legislation, including student fees, raising funds for various student organizations and deciding on internal matters. Below is a recap of the night's events: REQUIRED CAMPUS FEES Student Senate voted unanimously to increase student fees by $19.15 per semester. Riley Dutton, Pittsburg senior and author of the legislation to raise the fees, told senators that the increase was to compensate for inflation rates. Each semester, KU students are required to pay student fees to 17 entities in the University. The entitles that asked for a raise in their fee this year are: student recreation, student union, campus transportation fee and legal services. Currently, students pay $377.75. With the increase, students will pay $396.90. Because the fiscal year changes on July 1, the new fee rate will be implanted on a prorated basis during the second term of classes in summer 2008, and the new fees in their entirety will be implemented in fall 2008. MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION FUND Student groups seeking funding to travel to multicultural events will now be limited to $275 per member for domestic events and $425 per member for international events, according to legislation Student Senate passed. The legislation also specifies that groups may only go to the Multicultural Education Fund Board for money once the Student Senate unallocated account goes lower than 30 percent. Currently, student groups that pay for multicultural events or travel may go to both Student Senate and the Multicultural Education Fund to be given funds up to 75 percent of their event or travel costs. The Multicultural Education Fund is in its first year of existence at the University. KU EXECUTIVE MEMBERS MAY ALSO SERVE AS SENATORS Student Senate rejected legislation that would prohibit members of the student executive committee from also serving as student senators. Supporters of the bill said that students should not be allowed to have dual influence in both the executive and legislative branches of senate. They also said that prohibiting students to serve in both roles would open up seats for more students to be involved in Student Senate. Currently, there are 14 seats in Student Senate that are not filled. Those who voted the bill down said that members of the current executive staff were among the most active members of Student Senate, and it would be unfortunate to lose their voice in Senate only because they accepted an executive position after being elected to serve in Senate. Members of the Student Senate executive staff are able to accept monetary compensation from any entity on campus. Student Senate did not pass legislation that would have allowed prohibited executive members from receiving pay from sources outside Student Senate. The legislation was directed at the tuition sponsorships that are currently received by the student body president, vice president, treasurer and legislative director and the director, financial director and communication coordinator of the Graduate and Professionals Association. Those who said that the money should only come from the Student Senate said that it was morally appropriate for executive members to be compensated by those they represent.

For instance, when he approached a man in Fort Worth, Texas, because the man was wearing a KU hat, spent 45 minutes talking to him and ended the night at IHOP for breakfast with the man and his friends. and his friends. Aaron Caldwell, Bedford, Texas, senior, was found dead in his apartment Sunday. Jason Benouared, Caldwell's longtime friend and business partner, said this was just one example of the way Aaron would make friends with anyone. "It was an interruption to his fire, but he never let it be an interruption. He went on and did the things he wanted to do." "I've never seen anyone with more people skills than that guy," Benouraid said. Karen Harrison, Aaron's mother said that "Aaron would go up and talk to anyone, anywhere about anything." Bruce Caldwell, Aaron's father, said they received Aaron's phone book, and he had 300 to 400 friends in it. The family is calling every person in the phone book to notify them of Aaron's death. Aaron had a seizure disorder that began when he was 13. Aaron couldn't drive until he went without a seizure for six months. He would have regained his license Wednesday. Because of the disorder, Aaron was very health conscious. He rarely drank alcohol, ate healthy and tried acupuncture and herbs to help his seizures. "It's amazing that he had so many friends that he cherished," Bruce said. "It was an interruption to his life, but he never let it be an interruption," Bruce said. "He went on and did the things he wanted to do" BRUCE CALDWELL Aaron's father The autopsy showed that Aaron's right coronary artery was 75 percent blocked, and a heart attack, seizure or both could have been the cause to cause his death. The official lab report won't be available for two months. Harrison said Aaron had been out with friends the night before he died, and they said he was having a good time and in good spirits. Aaron traveled to several countries. He completed a semester at sea in 2005, and traveled to Africa, China, Vietnam, Japan and Europe. "For a kid who couldn't drive, he still traveled the world," Bruce said. Aaron, who majored in economics and minored in business, planned to go into business with Benouared when he graduated in May. He and Benouared planned their business together for six years, and Aaron was in the process of buying half of the business that Benouared had already started. Aaron and Benouared started their first business together when Aaron was 18 years old. "He really wanted to make something for himself," Benouared said. "He wanted a foundation for life before he jumped into anything. I had never met a more level-headed and goal-oriented guy." Aaron also enjoyed dressing fashionably, cooking, attending concerts and watching "Seinfeld." "He was just wonderful," Bruce said. "We couldn't ask for a better son. We never had a problem with him." Aaron was a member of Phi Gamma Delta, and his family is asking that donations go toward the fraternity. Donations can be sent to Bruce's business, and then be donated to the fraternity. Bruce's address is 7622 Pebble Dr., Fort Worth, Texas 76118. Services for Aaron will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Warren-McElwain Mortuary-Eudora Chapel. The visitation begins at 1 p.m. Aaron is survived by his mother Karen Harrison, his father and stepmother, Bruce and Bonnie Caldwell, his sisters, Jaime Lynn Caldwell and Elena Speake and grandmothers, Judy Groves and MaryAnn Harrison.

Simpson must face trial on kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges stemming from a suspected court memorabilia heist, a justice of the peace ruled Wednesday. Defense attorneys had argued during a preliminary hearing that the case was based on the accounts of con artists and crooks, and they asked for the charges to be dropped. Justice of the Peace Joe M. Bonaventure ruled all charges in the 12-count complaint would remain against Simpson and co-dedefendants Clarence "C.J." Stewart and Charles "Charlie" Ehrlich. "This is what we expected," Simpson told The Associated Press before he left the courtroom. "If I have any disappointment it's that I wish a jury was here. As always, I rely on the jury system." Bonaventure acknowledged that the testimony of the witnesses was an issue to be weighed by the court and that the defense had raised questions of "bought" testimony.

He says he doesn't have any. "I don't have — I don't maintain — a file of eight years of work in the state Senate because I didn't have the resources available to maintain those kinds of records," he said at a recent campaign stop in Iowa. Obama's statement that he has no papers from his time in the Illinois state house — he left in 2004 — stands in stark contrast to the massive Clinton file stored at the National Archives; an estimated 78 million pages of documents, plus 20 million e-mail messages, lobbvist for the coal industry. "I don't have - I don't maintain a file of eight years of work in the state Senate because I didn't have the resources available to maintain those kinds of records." packed into 36,000 boxes. While any file from Obama's time in the state Senate would be far smaller, the idea that no papers exist at all is questioned by one historian. Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said Wednesday that "Obama has a track record of leading the way on reform and disclosure," adding that "correspondence with state agencies and records of requests Obama made to them on behalf of his constituents are available to the public and have been accessed by our opponents and members of the news media." "Most of those guys do keep this stuff, especially the favorable stuff. They've all got egos," said Taylor Pensoneau, a historian who has written about Illinois legislators and governors and worked with them as a Pressed for details, LaBolt said Obama did not keep any correspondence with the general public. Ditto for letters to or from state associations and lobbyists, memos on legislation and correspondence with Illinois state agencies. The campaign said Illinois agencies had copies of BARACK OBAMA Illinois senator his requests for information or help, but accessing those records would involve contacting the agencies and asking them to comb though eight years of records to find correspondence from Obama Meanwhile, the campaign of John Edwards - Clinton and Obama's leading rival for the Democratic nomination — said Wednesday it would release the records from his single term representing North Carolina in the U.S. Senate. Obama criticized Clinton during a debate in Philadelphia at the end of October, comparing her record on records to the Bush administration and saying the country had "just gone through one of the most secretive administrations in our history" "Senator Edwards will release the records from his Senate office and is committed to getting this done as quickly as possible," said spokeswoman Colleen Murray. Clinton's papers from her time as first lady, including her work leading a controversial health care task force in her husband's first term, are held at the National Archives and Records Administration. The Clinton campaign has said that neither she nor husband Bill Clinton can do anything to speed the process of review at the National Archives that must precede the papers' becoming public. Every president can, and usually does, exercise a right to withhold some documents for up to 12 years after leaving office. Bill Clinton wrote in a 2002 letter that he did not want the agency to release communications between the first lady and him for that period. Obama hasn't always claimed there were no papers left from his time in the state Senate. Earlier this year, campaign spokesman LaBolt asked The Associated Press to narrow a request for records on whether Obama had ever urged clemency for a convicted criminal. "You're asking us to do an extremely exhaustive search into every record we have from the U.S. Senate and state Senate offices," LaBolt said at the time. At the news conference in Iowa last week, Obarna said he didn't "have a whole bunch of records from those years," but told reporters to "let us know" if there are "particular documents that you are interested in." FORUM Ruohan Adam MacDonald/KANSAN Elif Afad, Rauf Arif, Huma Khan, William Lambert and Tom Wilhelm form a panel to discuss issues in Pakistan and its government on Wednesday afternoon in the Kansas Union. All speakers have experience in the Middle East as sociologists, military personnel or journalists. Students,professionals discuss turmoil in Pakistan BY SARAH NEFF SNEEF@KANSAN.COM Huma Khan said she saw a positive future for Pakistan despite the recent turmoil. She said there was a chance to revitalize the leadership. Khan, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, along with four others, participated in a panel discussion Wednesday afternoon called "Turmoil in Pakistan: What are the Options?" The discussion was sponsored by International Programs as part of International Education Week. On Nov. 2, General Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency in Pakistan, halting general elections until January, thus keeping himself in power. of sociology, said there was a call for the United States to do something about the situation, especially because Pakistan is a U.S. ally. "What just happened in Pakistan was a very clear violation of democracy," Andac said. Elif Andac, assistant professor Rauf Arif, Pakistan graduate student, spoke on the panel from the perspective of the average Pakistani. Arif worked as a journalist in Pakistan before he came to the University. He said Musharraf appeared to legitimize his actions by taking refuge under the war on terror, and the United States had not yet taken action because of a vested interest in the regime. "Common people see President Bush standing behind Musharraf, a brutal dictator," Arif said. "The United States should try to make friends from within the people of Pakistan rather than the dictators" Bill Lambert, assistant professor in the Department of Joint and Multinational Operations at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, said he predicted Musharraf's actions during a lecture on Oct. 31. He said the Supreme Court of Pakistan caused a constitutional crisis by telling Musharraf he could run for president again before ruling whether it was legal. Lambert's research suggested that the greatest points in economic prosperity were during times of martial law, and he said he expected another military coup in the near future. - Edited by Rachel Bock POLITICS Catholic Church discusses election issues BY RACHEL ZOLL ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — Roman Catholic voters and lawmakers must heed church teaching on issues ranging from racism to abortion or risk their eternal salvation, U.S. bishops said Wednesday. "Political choices faced by citizens have an impact on general peace and prosperity and also may affect the individual's salvation," the bishops said. "Similarly, the kinds of laws and policies supported by public officials affect their spiritual well-being." The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops overwhelmingly adopted the statement, "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship," as they ended the public session of their fall meeting. While the 30-plus-page document touches widely on Catholic social justice teaching, the bishops said that fighting abortion should be a priority. They have offered similar guidance to Catholics before every presidential race since 1976. Catholics make up one-quarter of the electorate nationwide, but do not vote as a bloc, and often do not follow the bishops' political guidance. Surveys indicate that most don't choose candidates based on that person's position on abortion. In the current election season, none of the leading presidential candidates has been reliably anti-abortion. "The direct and intentional destruction of innocent human life is always wrong and is not just one issue among many," the bishops said. "It must always be opposed." The bishops said that voting for a candidate specifically because he or she supports "an intrinsic evil, such as abortion or racism" amounted to "formal cooperation in grave evil." The document did not address whether Catholics who violate this guidance should continue to receive Holy Communion. "When you look at eternal salvation, God is the only judge," said Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, of the Diocese of Brooklyn, N.Y. "All we have the ability to do is to warn people." The bishops said helping the poor should be a priority in government, providing health care, taking in refugees and protecting workers' rights, and the bishops highlighted the need for environmental protection. However, they also opposed same-sex marriage, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell research, in addition to their stance anti-abortion position. The prelates, who oppose the death penalty, said torture is "always wrong" and expressed "serious moral concerns" about "preventive use of military force." But in a very brief floor debate Wednesday before the vote, they heightened their language on terrorism, adding a sentence acknowledging "the continuing threat of fanatical extremism and global terror." In recent years, some independent Catholics groups have been distributing their own voter booklets, with theological conservatives emphasizing abortion and liberal-leaning groups highlighting church teaching on war, poverty and social justice. The bishops urged Catholics to only use voter resources approved by the church. RUDY'S PIZZERIA 749-0055 704 Mass. www.rudyspizzeria.com Spicy Red Wine Sauce!!

I LOVE EVERYBODY SUA events should have broader appeal Booking acts that have a narrow audience leaves some students wondering what they paid for ZACH WHITE You know, last time I checked, when somebody pays for something, it is not unreasonable for that person to expect to receive something useful in return. Which is why I have been so confused recently about the actions of Student Union Activities. You see, when we pay our student fees and a fraction of that goes to them, we are contracting them to use that money to do things that should be able to please as many of the students at this school as possible. Yet for some reason, they are unable to comprehend this and have repeatedly used it to bring entirely too esoteric events to our school. I am not some tight-panted, fancy-haired sissy, and neither are the majority of KU's red-blooded good oil' boys. And as a result, I am not interested in listening to the music of those people, live or otherwise. So why is SUA using our money to bring artists like Spoon and Bright Eyes to perform? I don't want to listen to any artist named after a utensil. Except for Foghat. They freakin' rule. If SUA wants to entertain those people, why don't they just have weekly "Donnie Darko" screenings? That should keep them satisfied. The following are a few suggestions: No, instead SUA should be using the students' funds to fund entertainment the majority of us would be likely to enjoy. A demolition derby. Vastly preferable to hearing some ennui-soaked post-adolescents that refuse to grow up croon about their pain for an hour, this would cause some real, tangible and long-lasting pain to a select few of the area's finest, as they incur whip-lash and other accident-related injuries while attempting to ruin the other drivers' rides. Yes, there is the derby at the county fair, but that is only once a year. And that is not nearly enough for our needs. Professional wrestling. Professional wrestling is one of the most popular American forms of entertainment. How can SUA deny the importance of a commodity that Donald Trump has taken a stake in by purchasing it? He is a shrewd man that knows quality when he sees it. And we would do well to emulate this man's entertainment acumen. Monster trucks. This may seem a bit like the first proposal in the motorized mayhem, but frankly they are independent art forms, though their similarities do allow a near magical compatibility. On another note, nostalgia has reigned in our culture recently in TV shows and movies. And who doesn't remember watching monster truck legends like Bigfoot and Gravedigger on an early morning Count Chocula fueled rowdy couch jumping festival of youth? These are just a few of the things the SUA could do to improve their event calendars. Although anything would be preferable to the whiners they keep bringing now.

A standardized exit exam is unreasonable Graduation assessments could provide valuable insight, but must be tailored to different academic disciplines On Oct. 29, the University Senate announced the pos- ent things for different purposes, requiring different tests for different concentrations. How to issue these tests will be part of the work and research that the elected task force will conduct and complete. Tests would provide the University with the answer of whether graduates are prepared to venture out into the workforce and adulthood. sibility of learner outcome assessments as a requirement for future graduates. The Senate elected a task force that will conduct research regarding the variety of learner outcome programs. The research will last until the task force will make their recommendation back to the University Senate in December 2008. Learner outcome assessments would require outgoing students to complete either an interview or test that would provide information regarding the skills that have been developed as undergraduates. However, for this test to be beneficial to all those involved, it needs to be done correctly. In order to give all students a fair assessment, no one test should be issued to every undergraduate and different majors should entail different outcome assessments. For example, it seems unreasonable that an engineering major and a history major should be expected to take the same test, given that their courses are different. They each learn differ- Not only could the tests be beneficial to the University on assessing students knowledge and skills developed, they could also provide faculty and staff with a way to assess their own methods. Our skills development directly correlates to the information we are receiving. Upon exit assessment, if a student does not fit the profile of a capable adult, according the University, along with the student and their studying habits, perhaps one will begin to look to other areas that might need improvement to help future students reach that profile. We as students will succeed to the standard in which we set for ourselves. However without the tools and the resources to reach those standards, our success could be halted. The possibility of such tests is still years off, but beginning the process now, which is in part practiced by various departments, allows the University that much more of an advantage in perfecting the process.

MAX BINKE BURRITO-MADE EPIPHANIES A conversation with White Owl provokes thought The Wescoe Beach mainstay offers advice to everyone on living and self-actualization ROSS STEWART We sit. We laugh. We look jovial. We share a quiet moment. He tears up a bit. I do as well. "I'm one-third this man's age," I think to myself. "Yet he's livelier than I am." People pass, and give us strange looks. We continue to talk; his voice makes everything he says sound quote-worthy. More people pass. Some roll their eyes, while others smile at the man whose beard rivals that of Santa Claus and whose wardrobe makes one feel pity toward those who are color blind. He just takes it all in stride and keeps coming back to the message of the Little Engine That Could—I think I can, I think I can. I call him a societal transistor; he seems to like that. I'm speaking with White Owl, or Jimmy Neil Tucker, or Saul (as he's known in Kansas City). Whatever you call him, it doesn't matter. It still is him. I consider White Owl a societal transistor. You may see White Owl and strike up a conversation with a stranger about him. He makes people meet other people just by existing. He makes connections; there's something important to that. We spoke for two hours, shifting from place to place as buildings and rooms closed. This man is no jive turkey. He's seen a lot. A previous student at KU and a Vietnam War veteran, he now does research on Agent Orange for a book he's writing, in-between going to classes for free as an elderly person. Most individuals know White Owl as the man who hangs out on Wescoe Beach yelling, "Wake Up!" "I hope I create that in people; the ability to think for themselves, not for me. I am not a leader. I am just a messenger to wake them up. That's what my wake up is about," White Owl said. I had always thought it was to get people in motion to go to class; I seemed to have this man all wrong. Contrary to what some students believe, he's not homeless. He's well read, well versed in biblical texts, he's not a pusher of drugs or ideals and he loves those who dislike him. "I don't care what they believe. I just want them to believe in themselves," White Owl said. He's a staple of the University as much as say the Campanile. He represents what higher education is supposed to be about: thinking, learning, acceptance and ideas that stretch outside of the box. He told me several stories, ranging from beating prostate and brain cancer with frankincense, myrhr and prayer, to Russian double agents threatening his life, to attaining doctoral degrees in music at Oxford—whether the stories are apocryphal or true is not what matters. What matters is the message he sent me. I left my meeting with this man feeling sure that I could do anything I damn well pleased. I felt inspired.

An Associated Press investigation reveals why; possibly thousands of unwanted animals have been tossed off bridges, buried alive and otherwise inhumely disposed of by taxpayer-financed animal control programs. Witnesses who spoke with the AP M Tongolei, formerly one of Puerto Rico's hundreds of thousands of dogs with no home, sits in a shipping kennel shortly before being flown to an animal shelter in Orlando, Fla., at the San Juan airport in Puerto Rico Oct. 26. Earlier this month, dozens of dogs and cats were seized from housing projects and hurried from a 50-foot-high bridge in an incident that has sparked international outrage. said that, despite pledges to deliver adoptable strays to shelters and humanely euthanize the rest, the island's leading private animal control companies generally did neither. "There is apathy. No one wants to take responsibility." News that live animals had been thrown to far beyond even what animal welfare activists suspected, stretching over the last eight years. A $22.5-million lawsuit against Animal Control Solutions and city officials — including those who helped round up the animals — was filed on behalf of 16 Barceloneta families whose dogs or cats were seized under rules prohibiting pets in the city projects. The animals' deaths show "a cold and depraved heart and has stirred public outrage around the whole world," the lawsuit says. ALFREDO FIGUEROA Animal welfare activist their deaths from a bridge reached the public last month when Animal Control Solutions, a government contractor, was accused of inhumanely killing some 80 dogs and cats seized from three housing projects in the town of Barcelona. A half dozen survived the fall of at least 50 feet. ASSOCIATED PRESS The AP probe, which included visits to two sites where animals were slaughtered, found the inhumane killings were far more extensive than that one incident. The AP saw and was told about a scale of brutality Julio Diaz, owner of Animal Control Solutions and a co-founder of another company, Pet Delivery, declined AP requests for an interview but told reporters there is no proof his company was responsible for the barceloneta pet massacre. "We have never thrown animals off any place," he said. A police investigation into the Barcelona killings has not led to charges, but police Sgt. Wilbert Miranda, who heads the probe, said the information gathered so far indicated Animal Control Solutions was responsible. He declined to give details. Maria Kortright, a lawyer involved in the suit, said it was clear the pets Animal Control Solutions removed from Barcelona were the same hurles off the bridge because the survivors had been identified by their owners. Animal welfare activists have complained to government agencies for years about allegations of improper disposal of animals, but say officials didn't act. Preventive action also is almost nonexistent: Puerto Rico has — at least 100,000 stray dogs and cats — and no island-wide Activist Alfredo Figueroa said the animal disposal companies acted with impunity because government agencies ignored allegations of cruelty, rather spaying or neutering programs.

That has aroused opposition to human embryonic stem cell research, and it led the Bush administration to restrict federal funding for it. Scientists say that has slowed the effort. Another hurdle is the inefficiency of the process. Even if the method described by scientists Wednesday works in humans, it would demand too much of a precious resource — women's unfertilized eggs. The promise of producing stem cells by cloning is that they can be genetically matched to a particular patient. So theoretically, doctors should be able to transplant tissue created from them into that person without tissue rejection. And presumably, such transplants could help treat such conditions as diabetes and spinal cord injury. The process used in the new experiment is "quite inefficient," Shoukhrat Mitalipov of the Oregon National Primate Research Center in Portland told reporters Wednesday. He and his colleagues reported getting two batches of stem cells that required using about 150 monkey eggs apiece. That's far too many if one hopes to use human unfertilized eggs, which are cumbersome to obtain from women. If further work can get that down to maybe five to 10 eggs per stem cell batch, "we will be closer to clinical applications," Mitalipov said. But then there's another issue -- showing that such stem cells really can be used to treat diseases safely. Mitalipov said he planned to do diabetes studies in monkeys. For now, he and other scientists said, the new work was valuable for showing that stem cells can be produced through cloning in monkeys. It's been done in mice, but scientists had long been frustrated in their attempts in primates, where the research would be more relevant to humans. "I am quite sure it will work in humans," he added. The new work was published online Wednesday by the scientific journal Nature.

Their support paves the way for the bill's passage Wednesday. stists able in be non-but dated here avant The trio, California Reps, Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters, represent a liberal anti-war caucus that last week expressed opposition to the measure on the grounds it was too soft and did not demand an end to combat. The bill requires that President Bush initiate troop withdrawals within 30 days of its passage with the goal of bringing home most soldiers and Marines by Dec. 15, 2008. The White House said Bush would veto the bill if it comes to him. Presidential spokeswoman Dana Perino called the legislation the "height of irresponsibility," charging Democrats with merely trying to "appease radical groups" such as MoveOn.org and Code Pink. "Once again, the Democratic leadership is starting this debate with a flawed strategy, including a withdrawal date for Iraq, despite the gains our military has made over the past year, despite having dozens of similar votes in the past that have failed, and despite their pledge to support the troops" The money included in the bill represents about a quarter of Bush's $196 billion war spending request 2008 budget year. she said. "Democrats believe that these votes will somehow punish the president, but it actually punishes the troops." A provision added to the bill, to satisfy liberal caucus members, states that the primary purpose of the $50 billion included in the bill "should be to transition the mission" and redevelop troops in Iraq, "not to extend or prolong the war." The measure is largely a symbolic jab at Bush, who has already begun withdrawing some troops but fiercely rejects the notion of setting a timetable for the war. "While this bill is not perfect, it is the strongest Iraq bill to date," the Democratic trio wrote in a joint statement. "This is the first time that this Congress has put forth a bill that ties funding to the responsible redeployment of our troops, and it also includes language mandating a start date for the president to begin the redeployment of our brave men and women." Woolsey, Lee and Waters said they remained disappointed that the 2008 date was a nonbinding goal that Bush could ignore. But, they said they realized the provision made it more likely that the Senate could pass it. "This is a concrete step in the right direction, and an important marker for this Congress to lay down," they wrote. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters on Wednesday that he anticipates the bill will pass. Similar legislation has repeatedly passed along party lines in the House only to sink in the Senate, where Democrats hold a razor-thin majority and 60 votes are needed to overcome procedural hurdles. It is expected that if the measure fails in the Senate, Democrats will not consider Bush's war spending request until next year. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that if it does pass and Bush rejects the bill, "then the president won't get his $50 billion." The money included in the bill represents about a quarter of Bush's $196 billion war spending request for the 2008 budget year, which began Oct. 1. 》 SUPREME COURT Bush welcomes back Michael Mukasey SALTON R. SMITH ASSOCIATED PRESS President Bush, right, watches as Chief Justice John Roberts, left, participates in a ceremonial swearing-in of new Attorney General Michael Mukasey, center, Wednesday at the Justice Department in Washington. Mukasey promised to make sure the *Justice Department* follow an "unsurpassing alliance" to the law and the Constitution. WASHINGTON — President Bush welcomed Michael Mukasey back into government Wednesday and promised to help the new attorney general rebuild the top leadership of the beleaguered Justice Department. ASSOCIATED PRESS Speaking at Mukasey's ceremonial oath-taking, Bush said the retired federal judge "will bring clear purpose and resolve" to the agency. "As he embarks on his new responsibilities, Michael Mukasey has my complete trust and confidence," Bush told a packed ceremony at the Justice Department's Great Hall. Agency employees filled the hall and lined the balcony to watch their new boss take the ceremonial oath from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. Bush also promised to announce today nominees to fill some of the dozen vacant senior leadership jobs in the department, which has been in a state of upheaval since a series of controversies — including the dismissals of federal prosecutors — led to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. When Bush praised Gonzales as a man of integrity and decency, Justice Department employees responded with sustained applause. It got even louder moments later after Mukasey took the oath, formally ending the Gonzales chapter in the agency's history. Mukasey, who also worked in the Justice Department early in his career as a trial prosecution in New York, said "it's great to be back." cation of the Constitution and the laws enacted under it." He promised to make sure the Justice Department follows an "unswerving allegiance" to the law and the Constitution. Though he was officially sworn in last week to begin work, Mukasey said he did not feel he had become the attorney general until taking the oath in front of his employees. He said he would "ask myself in every decision I make whether it helps you to do that, to take the counsel not only of my own insights but also of yours, and to pray that I can help give you the leadership you deserve." Mukase, 66, inherits *a justice* Department struggling to restore "My job involves not only an oath, but also a pledge, which I now give you," Mukasey told the 110,000 Justice employees nationwide, some of whom watched on the department's internal TV system. its independent image with more than a dozen vacant leadership jobs and little time to make many changes before another president takes office.

The allegations stemmed from an ongoing congressional inquiry of last year's firings of nine U.S. attorneys, and prompted questions about Gonzales' honesty. Gonzales did not attend the ceremony, which lasted only about 14 minutes. NATION ASSOCIATED PRESS Governor abandons illegal immigrant driver's license plan WASHINGTON — New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced Wednesday he was abandoning a plan to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, but said that the federal government had "lost control" of its borders and left states to deal with the consequences. "I have concluded that New York state cannot successfully address this problem on its own," Spitzer said at a news conference after meeting with members of the state's congressional delegation. Spitzer said overwhelming opposition led to his decision. The Democratic governor introduced the plan two months ago with the goal of increased security, safer roads and an opportunity to bring immigrants "out of the shadows." Opponents charged the scheme would make it easier for would-be terrorists to get identification, and make the country less safe. The decision is another example of the roadblocks that high-profile immigration reforms have faced this year. Less than five months ago, Congress failed to pass legislation that would legalize as many as 12 million unlawful immigrants and fortify the border with Mexico. "The federal government has lost control of its borders, has allowed millions of undocumented immigrants to enter our country and now has no solution to deal with it," Spitzer said. Homeland Security Secretary KU Michael Chertoff called Spitzer's reversal on the license issue "a good development" and said immigration is a federal issue for which his department has to "ramp up enforcement."

When it was announced that Hunt, Memphis, Tenn., junior, had won the top spot in this year's Student Union Activities "Project Runway" event, she felt excited, especially after losing last year's competition. As the winner, Hunt received a chance to have her work displayed in Epic Apparel, located at 11 W. 9th St., a subscription to Vogue and a $200 check. There to celebrate was Hunt's mom and dad, who drove from Memphis and Alaska to support what Hunt said was a great victory. "It was such a whirlwind thing,—so much went into the competition." Hunt said, "from the models helping me, to my parents coming for support. It was and just is really exciting." Hunt said her participation in last year's show helped her in this year's competition. She said she took what she learned and used the two models she used last year to create her pieces for this year's competition, but didn't buckle down to work until Nov. 8. "The past two weeks have really been so crazy with finals coming up and preparing, so I really didn't start until Thursday," Hunt said. "I really just blocked out my schedule for Thursday, Friday and Saturday and spent all of my time working on my designs." Molly Gaeckle, Sioux Falls, S.D., said Hunt's fashion style was great and that she earned the top spot. "Everything that went down the runway was impressive — all of the girls in the competition have great talent," Gaekle said. "Katie created classy garments, and it was obvious she put in a lot of hard work and thought into details." Hunt said her designs were inspired by Landing, a brand of clothing, and her own sense of style. "I like Landing because their stuff is classy but young and unexpected; they have twists," she said. Hunt said her own taste was similar. "I like to collect unusual and unique things. I really just look through my own stuff, and when I want to wear a necklace, for example, I base my designs around it," she said. Hunt said she was grateful to do what she wanted for a career. When Hunt grew up, most of her family members were into sewing and were her inspiration to try fashion design. "I was never pressured to rake in the money, so I figured I can't go wrong doing something I like," Hunt said. "I am very grateful of my family's support." While Hunt was glad to win Tuesday night's competition, she said fashion design was more of a hobby. Hunt is majoring in textile design and architectural studies and minoring in French and art history, with hopes of attending graduate school to major in architecture. She said her grandfather attended the University and majored in architecture, which played a role in her decision to earn an architecture degree. She also said fashion and architecture were similar. "I like to design things on a big scale, similar to clothes," Hunt said. "I like to see how things go together so I think the two mix." James Larsen, Salina sophomore, attended the show and said he thought Hunt had talent in fashion. "I think she has a great talent so I would encourage her to pursue it," Larsen said. "I think she is a name to look for." SANDRA BROOKS Edited by Meghan Murphy Jon Goering/KANSAN 一 THOMAS BROWN Above: Mandie Nech, Larned junior, models a dress by Katie Hunt.

Everyone also knew Kansas would likely beat at least three of its nonconference opponents. Central Michigan, Kansas' toughest nonconference opponent, was the reigning MAC champions and will be playing for the championship again this year. No one knew Kansas would blow up the Chipewas 52-7. Now, Kansas is 10-0 and in the driver's seat for the Big 12 Championship. After starting the season unranked, Kansas is No. 3 in the BCS standings, and the only undefeated team from a BCS conference 10. KERRY MEIER To highlight Kansas' record, here are the top 10 unexpected reasons why Kansas is 10-0: The sophomore quarterback looked to be the future of Kansas' passing game until sophomore Todd Reesing beat him out for the starting position. Many college athletes in similar situations before would complain or even decide to transfer after losing the starting quarterback job. Instead, Meier did everything he could to help the team out, whether it be filling in for punts when senior punter Kyle Tucker is having an off day, or making a key reception when the receiving corps is dropping passes, or even making a halfback pass to throw defenses off. Meier is a jack of all trades. BY BRYAN WHEELER BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM 9. WHITE OWL Kansas' newest mascot/spiritual motivator can often be found on Wescoe beach yelling, "Rock Chalk! Go KU! Go KU!" His presence at home football games this season has brought a sense of optimism and pride that Kansas football has quite possibly never seen. His cheers and dances have been shown on ESPN, Fox Sports, collegehumor.com and YouTube. Some may call it a coincidence that Kansas is 10.0 since White Owl came to Kansas, others would not. Either way, for good measure, White Owl needs to be at every game the rest of the season. 8. THE FALL OF TRADITIONAL POWERHOUSES 6 POWERY 31 31 No team that has been considered a traditional power in the nation has gone through the season without some embarrassing losses. Some of these traditional powers, such as Notre Dame and Nebraska. Notre Dame may be having its worst season since the Protestant Reformation. Michigan lost to Appalachian State and USC lost 24-23 to Stanford. Even the even have losing records. defending national champions, Florida, have lost three games. Each loss by these perennial powerhouses has made Kansas' 10-0 record look more and more impressive and helped catapult Kansas to the top of the rankings. 7. THE OFFENSIVE LINE With the graduation of three senior linemen last season, there was a big question of whether anyone would be able to fill the vacancy in Kansas' offensive line this year. Senior tackle Cesar Rodriguez was thought to be a solid lineman and junior tackle Anthony Collins was expected to be phenomenal, but the question remained of whether junior guards Adrian Mayes and Chet Hartley and junior center Ryan Cantrell would be able to perform. With Kansas' offense ranked 10th overall in the nation, after being ranked 33rd last season, this years line has been crucial this season. 6. THE DUAL THREAT RUNNING GAME OF JAKE SHARP AND BRANDON MCANDERSON Sophomore hallback Jake Sharp and senior fullback Brandon McAnderson have a combined total of 1,654 yards rushing and 22 touchdowns. McAnderson looks to be improving with each step he takes this season, and with 15 touchdowns this season, he is well on his way to breaking June Henley's record of 17 touchdowns in one season. 5. HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN Before this season, the theme song for Kansas football road games would likely have been the hit AC/DC song "Highway to Hell". Before the season, Kansas was 4-21 on the road under coach Mark Mangino. This season's 4-0 record was the first time the Jayhawks have gone undefeated on the road since 1968. 4. ED WARINNER Last season, Kansas' scoring offense was ranked 29th overall in the nation averaging 29 Despite having the 29th highest scoring offense, the layhays lost two games in overtime and three games in the fourth quarter. This season's offense, under offensive coordinator Ed. BRENDAN ROBINSON Warinner, is ranked second in the nation, and there is no doubt as to whether Kansas can score at any given moment. 3. THREE DEFENSIVE BACKS WITHOUT THE JERSEY NO. 3 In the off season, Kansas wanted to improve the worst passing defense and No. 81 scoring defense in the nation. Last season, Aqib Talbil was the only defensive back that quarterbacks were afraid to throw at. This season, Kansas has been much better at defending the pass, with the No. 2 ranked pass defense in the Big 12 and No. 2 ranked scoring defense in the nation. Junior defensive backs Patrick Resby and Kendrick Harper and sophomore Darrell Stuckey are three reasons why teams have had trouble scoring against Kansas. 2. TODD REESING The sophomore quarterback is having the best season of any Kansas quarterback ever. Nicknamed "Sparky" by coach Mark Mangino for his energetic personality and play, Reesing is putting up better numbers than former Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie. Flutie, known for his legendary Hail Mary pass against Miami in 1984, is regarded as one of the best short quarterbacks in college football history. Judging by how well Kansas' defense has played this season, Reesing may never have to make a legendary pass to win a game. 5 2 1. MARK MANGINO While other teams on top of the BCS standings have lost games, Kansas has persevered through 10 games undefeated. The main reason for this is the sixth-year coach. Week in and week out, Mangino has continued to show his genius as a coach, which is reflected in all aspects of the the. Kansas happens to be the least penalized team in the nation, showing how well disciplined the football team is. Not even the service academies, Army, Navy and Air Force, which all rank in the top 10, have better disciplined football teams than Kansas. With Kansas having possibly its best season ever, tid be absurd if Mangino were not given the National Coach of the Year FOOTBALL Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Jayhawks hope to repeat 2005 Players remember overtime victory against Iowa State 88 BY ASHER FUSCO afusco.kansan.com Sarah Leonard/KANSAN When prompted to recall past match-ups against Iowa State, Joe Mortensen bypassed last year's run-of-the-mill 41-10 trouncing and thought back two years to Nov. 26, 2005.

Fine, a sophomore at the time, had established himself as Kansas' starting tight end earlier in the 2005 season, but enjoyed one of his finest efforts in the season finale. He made three catches for 51 yards, including a season-long 25-yard grab that set up a late touchdown. On the ensuing two-point conversion, Fine secured a pass in the end zone that tied the game at 14-14.

No one would argue with Mangino's feelings on the Cyclones' improvement because the team has clearly played its best football in the last two weeks. After a 1-8 start, it looked like it would be a winless conference season for Iowa State. "They are much, much improved from the beginning of the season," Mangino said. "That's what you look for when you are a new head coach, and that's something they are doing." "I don't really know," Chizik said. "I think you get into the season, and they have a certain comfort level with what you're doing and the system. They become more familiar with what we're running." But in consecutive weeks, Chizik's team has upset both Kansas State and Colorado The Cyclone offense has started to click, scoring 31 points in each of its last two games, and the defense has come up with big stops at critical times. So what does Chizik think is making the difference for his players? They also learned how to overcome "We kind of refocused and regrouped in the second half," Chizik said. "We really didn't see this particular team being able to come back from a 21-0 deficit and win the game after basically sleepwalking in the first half." Iowa State's victory the week before, against Kansas State, came in a completely opposite fashion. The Cyclones jumped out to an early 21-3 lead in the first half behind two touchdowns from freshman running back Alexander Robinson. But Iowa State found itself holding on by a thread in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats cut the deficit to a touchdown with one quarter left before falling 31-20 to the Cyclones. The past two weeks prove that Chizik's team knows how to win games. The Jayhawks wouldn't have it any other way. Kansas junior defensive end John Larson said the Cylcones' victories have kept him and his teammates focused. football notebook "Now we've seen what they're capable of, which is good," Larson said. "We're not going to be caught off balance." Chizik described his team's first half as uninterested and said nothing was working, offensively or defensively. But Iowa State came out in the second half calm and determined and scored 31 points to defeat Colorado, 31-28. Chizik even said he was surprised by the game's final 30 minutes.

Kansas needs to learn how play without Sherron Collins during the next two games before Arizona comes to town. It's going to be tough without Collins. He brings speed and slashing ability that no one else can match. Robinson and Chalmers are quick, but they can't go from one end of the court to the other and make an off-balanced lay-up like Collins can. Now that Collins is out, Kansas will lose some of the speed from its fast-paced offense. Tyrel Reed, freshman guard. Reed had an impressive debut last Friday, scoring 11 points WHOTOWATCH and making three three-pointers. Against UMKC, he won scoreless. Reed has the opportunity to gain major COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF Reed minutes now that Collins is out. He said he never expected this kind of an opportunity for minutes early in his career, but he will have to prove he is ready to handle it. QUESTION MARK Where does the name Ichabods come from?

According to Washburn.edu, the name actually comes from the founder of the school, ichabod Washburn. He was born in Massachusetts in 1798, many years after one of his descendants arrived on the Mayflower. Washburn is known as the "Father of Wire" for his work in wire manufacturing. Washburn University took his name because when soon after it was founded in 1865, Washburn donated money to help save the school, then known as Lincoln College. "it's kind of a fine line because I have them a little screwed up because the faster you play, the looser the possession, so there's not as much pride in getting stop — I thought in all honesty our guards didn't guard theirs at all. We have to get better in that." HEARYE, HEARYE GUARDS NEED TO STEP UP Kansas coach Bill Self on how play ing fast can be bad for the defense. Collins'injury creates a loss of offensive speed WASHBURN AT KANSAS 7 tonight, Allen Fieldhouse, Jayhawk TV Kansas 2-0 THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Don't look now, but Robinson has been the best shooter on the team. He's made 8 of 15 field goals, including 5 of 10 from long range. If Robinson keeps that up, he's an All-Big 12 First Team candidate. ★★★★ A. Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard Mario Chalmers, e-boot-1 Junior guard Chalmers has been wonderful in the first two games of the season. Turnovers are the only thing bringing him down. He leads the team with five of them. Washburn 0-0 ★★★★ Rodrick Stewart, 6-foot-4 senior guard THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE Rodrick Stewart, 8-foot-4 senior guard Self hasn't officially given the nod to Stewart, but he said Stewart would likely start. It's a good choice. Stewart is averaging 4.5 assists per game, almost as much as the injured Sherron Collins was averaging. Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Arthur's inability to make shots close to the basket is starting to get irritation. If he wants to be All-Big 12 and a top 10 NBA Draft pick next spring, he needs to start being more consistent offensively and that starts with making the gimmees. ★★★☆☆ ★★★☆ PETER KUWANI ★★★☆ Sasha Kaun, 6-foot-11 center ENGLAND Andrew Meile, 6-foot-2 senior guard Meile is Washburn's floor general. He can score if he needs to - he had 14 double-figure scoring games last season - but his job is to run the offense. He was also the only Washburn player to start all 27 games last year. center Kaun, usually known for missing easy shots, has made 6 of 8 field goals on the season. The bad news is he's shooting 42 percent from the foul line. Lion PETER MAYER THE SIXTH MAN Darnell Jackson 6-foot-8 senior forward ★★☆★ Outside of Collins, no Kansas player has played as well as Jackson during the first two games. By scoring a career-high 21 points last Friday, Jackson showed he is ready to be more than just a defensive presence off the bench. ★★★★★ The big men get the ball down low. Sure, Darnell Jack son scored 21 points in the first game of the season, but other than that, the post players have been a non-factor. This team has made a living shooting the long ball in the first two games. Sherron Collins, Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers have fired up 36 three-pointers so far this season, making 16. Nothing is wrong with that when the队 makes its shots, but trouble always follows when shooters go cold. Robinson said after the UMKC game that the guards need to start passing the ball more to the big men. He said they were the main part of the offense. Mario Scott. 6-foot-1 sophomore guard Mark Dent 1 ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF... ★★☆☆★ Darnell Jackson Mario Scott, 6-foot-1 sophomore guard Scott is a transfer from Grand Rapids Community College. The Grand Rapids, Mich., native averaged 10.8 points, 7.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game last season. C. WILLIAMS James Williams, 8-10cree junior forward Williams, a Topeka native, played two seasons at Cloud County Community College before transferring to St. Bonaventure last season. Now the former Highland Park High School star is back playing at home in Topeka. Williams averaged 3.2 points per game for St. Bonaventure last season. James Williams. 6-foot-5 junior forward Paul Byers, 6-foot-5 junior forward ★ ★ ★ ★ ★★☆★★ Byers is a Beauty native who started 19 games last season for the lchabods, averaging 7.1 points per game and 5.0 rebounds. Darnell Kimble, 6-foot-8 junior forward Another transfer, Kimball played 25 games at forward for Brown Mackie Community College, averaging 15.0 points per game and 8.0 rebounds. Kimball shot 58 percent from the field. ★★☆☆☆ THE SIXTH MAN Grant Hargett, 6-foot-3 senior guard Hargett, 6-foot-3 senior guard Hargett, a Minnesota native, played 21 minutes off the bench for Washburn against UMKC on Tuesday, scoring 12 points. Hargett started 13 game and played in 25 for Washburn last season. 10 ★★☆☆☆ KANSAS 32 Rustin Dodd PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF... The Jayhawks don't have the game in control by halftime. The Ichabods are not very good. Washburn is a Division II school, just like Pittsburg State and Fort Hays State. This should be Kansas' easiest regular season game of the year. To blow out Washburn early, Kansas will have to give a better effort than it did against UMKC. The Jayhawks made mistakes and played with a lack of focus for most of the second half of that game. If they do that again tonight, the Ichabods could make this game too close for comfort. They are comparable with UMKC, evidenced by their 79-75 loss to the Kangaroos on Tuesday night. WU TIP-OFF WHAT'S AT STAKE Very little. Kansas is on the third stage of its Tour de Kansas. The Jayhawks played Pittsburg State and Fort Hays State in the exhibition season, and now Washburn travels into Allen Fieldhouse. The Division I MIAA coaches picked the lchabbs to finish ninth in the conference, behind both Pittsburg State and Fort Hays State, so don't expect much from Washburn. The lchabbs do have experience playing against a good Division I program. They lost at UNLV 77-47 on Nov. 6. This game may technically be a regular season game, but it's really more exhibition-lite. Washburn will simply want to play hard and make the most of its trip into Allen Fieldhouse. WHOTOWATCH Andrew Meile, 6-foot-2 senior guard. Meile played his high school ball road at Olathe South High School, competing against the likes of Matt Klein- mann, Brady Morningsstar and Brennan 2017-18 Meile Bechard. Melle outplayed them all in high school, earning first team all-state honors and leading Olathe South to the 2004 6A State Championship. Melle averaged 9.1 points per game, 3.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists last season. With Sherron Collins out, Melle could give trouble to any Kansas guard not named Robinson or Chalmers. QUESTION MARK Will Washburn make Kansas look bad? Washburn finished B-19 last season and are picked to finish worse than Pittsburgh State and Fort Hays. Kansas isn't going to lose this game, but if they produce anything less than a 25-point victory, fans might be upset. Washburn is catching Kansas at a good time. Kansas is missing Brandon Rush and Sherron Collins, meaning inexperienced guards will get major minutes. It is not inconceivable to think that Washburn could keep the deficit lower than 20 points. HEARYE, HEARYE "They won't be intimidated coming over here. They've been here enough. Their guys know all our guys through summer time and things like that. I anticipate a very scrappy game. We were preseason No. 1 in the country and they played us to six or seven that year. We'll get their best shot and their best shot is pretty good." Kansas coach Bill Self JAYHAWK STATS

(Stats from Nov. 13 exhibition game against UMKC) 4B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2007 FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Fast forward to 2007, and Fine is a team captain and one of the team's most well-rounded players. Through 10 games, he has contributed strong blocking in the run game to go along with 38触客. In 2005, Marcus Henry was a lanky receiver with plenty of potential, but not much to show for it. He made a pair of key catches in the final two minutes of the Iowa State game, helping the Jayhawks march down the field and force overtime with 1:05 remaining in regulation. In 2007, Henry is one of the brightest stars on the Kansas offense. He's still lanky, but he has outrun and outleaped cornerbacks on the way to 46 catches and 19.2 yards per reception. Henry's transformation from a one-star recruit to a nationally-recognized receiver did not happen overnight. "Each and every year he goten a little stronger and gotten a little faster," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "He understands things a little better. He's a guy who has kept at it and got better each and every year." The Jayhawks' No. 1 slot receiver, Dexton Fields, also stood out for the first time in the 2005 Iowa State contest. Fields was a freshman at the time who played in every game but rarely took snaps with the offense. When quarterback Brian Luke found Fields in the end zone for a 15-yard score to send the game into overtime, it was his first career reception. This season, Fields has added 37 catches to his career total. Iowa State also had a pair of young receivers who made an impact in the 2005 matchup and have continued to contribute. Todd Blythe caught five passes in the Cyclones' loss two seasons ago and R.J. Sumnall added a 10-yard reception. Blythe, a senior, and Sumnall, a junior, have become Iowa State's most potent offensive weapons. Each has 50 catches this season and Blythe is averaging more than 15 yards per catch. Edited by Elizabeth Cattell 》 MEN'S BASKETBALL Jayhawks compensate for Collins' absence BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Sherron Collins heard more than enough sympathy from students when he returned to class Tuesday after getting surgery for a broken foot. "I'm not the type of person to really get down on myelf," said Collins, a sophomore guard. "But people will be like, 'Ahhh were so sorry, are you all right and oh my God.'" Collins doesn't feel sorry for himself or his team. He said Kansas would do fine while he was gone for six weeks. The Jayhawks play Washburn at 7 p.m. in their first game without Collins. The foot injury happened Sunday night against UMKC. Collins drove hard to the basket for a lay-up and landed awkwardly. He returned to the game with his ankle taped, but he didn't play with same explosiveness. "I knew when I got back out there something wasn't feeling right, and it wasn't my ankle," he said. "It was my foot." Players need to step up for Collins, who is the team's leading scorer at 16 points per game. Kansas coach Bill Self said it started with the other two guards, Junior Mario Chalmers and senior Russell Robinson. "There's less margin for error in that if Mario or Russell aren't making shots, then Sherron could." Self said. "Now, those guys need to play well. They need to stay out of foul trouble. keeping off the weight Sheron Collins came to Kansas last year weighing 227 pounds. It fluctuated throughout the year, and he played his best ball in conference play when he not his weight down Now, Collins faces the challenge of keeping his weight down, he's at about 200 pounds, while he's injured. He can't doing any exercise for three weeks because he can't get sweat on the cast around his foot. Collins said he's motivated to eat right and work out once he is able to. Without Brandon being full strength, and without Sherron, we need those guys to be impact players nightly". With Collins out, reserves Jeremy Case, Rodrick Stewart and Tyrel Reed will also be counted on to contribute more. Stewart will start tonight against Washburn and probably for the next few games until junior guard Brandon Rush works himself into shape. Stewart, a senior guard, came off the bench the first two games and played well, averaging 4.5 points per game and was fourth on the team in assists. Earlier this year, Self called him the best defender on the team. off the bench in his second season after transferring from Southern California. "To be honest, I think last year, I wouldn't want to start at all," Stewart said. "But this year, I've put in the work over the summer. I'm prepared for stuff like this. If he wants me to start or come off the bench, I'm going to be a spark regardless. I'm going to bring the energy!" Reed, a freshman guard, said he never expected the opportunity for this much playing time. He'll need to play more consistently to make the best of his extra minutes. Reed scored 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting Friday against Louisiana-Monroe. It was a different story against UMKC. He went scoreless in nine minutes. MID Not only do the Jayhawks need Reed to become more consistent offensively, they need him to become a better defender. Reed started off his college career by getting burned by a Pittsburgh State player in the first exhibition game. He said he was still adjusting to the speed of the college level. "It's just a transition that I have to get used to," Reed said. "It's coming along. The coaches are real good about helping me out every day and helping me get better. Every Division I player is there for a reason, and everyone is such a good athlete. Just me going from high school to college is a big transition." Reed will be challenged for minutes by Case, someone who plays a similar game. Like Reed, he is a shooter who needs to work on his defense to get more than the five minutes per game Sophomore guard Sharon Collins is out for six weeks after injuring his foot during the game against UMKC Sunday. Collins said he knew his team would be fine during his absence. Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN he's been averaging to start the year. Whether it's Case, Reed or Stewart who got the majority of the newly available minutes, Stewart said the team would be ready to move on without Collins. "This is a time to pull together er and make this thing work," he said. "We've been doing this without Brandon, and now we'll have to do it again without Sherron." Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Rush may join Jayhawks on court against Ichabods BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Kansas could get a boost from injured star Brandon Rush against Washburn tonight. Doctors have cleared Rush to play in games, but the final decision is up to Kansas coach Bill Self. He said he didn't know if he'd let Rush play vet. "I'd probably be saying too strongly if I said one way or another, but he's out there practicing." Self said Wednesday. "We'll evaluate it after today, but I won't announce whether he'll play or not. It will be a game time decision as football coaches would say" court tonight against Washburn. He told the coaches he wanted to play, especially before big games coming up against Arizona and Southern California. If Rush had it his way, he'd be on the He said he feels no lingering effects from his May ACL tear and only has to adjust to the injury mentally. Rush has been wearing a knee brace since his rehab started and during fall practices. YOU SHOULDN'T APPLY HERE IF YOU'RE AN UNDERACHIEVER A. We don't appreciate laziness. In fact, we can't stand it.

But I do see it happening in the very near future." SINCE 1908 Kansas' success during the past two years has come largely because of Rush. He led the team in scoring as a freshman and a sophomore.

MAX RINKEL SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE Poverty meets low-price solution World education divide potentially lessened with introduction of $100 little green laptop Emmanuel is a fifth grader in rural Nigeria, and in most respects, he is just like most kids are at his age: curious, inquisitive and eager to learn. There is, however, one major difference between him and most American students that will severely handicap his education. The school he attends cannot afford electricity or running water, much less personal computers or other technology necessary for competitive education in today's world. We are American college students, raised on myriad of amenities and technology in excess. The vast majority of us have grown accustomed to compact, powerful laptops, wireless access to the internet and even entire college courses conducted online. But what about the nearly two billion children in the developing world who receive a sub-par education, or none at all? One in three doesn't finish fifth grade. Almost a billion people can't read, write or operate simple electronics. It is not hard to imagine what sort of detrimental effect these disadvantages can have on a student's future. It's called the Digital Divide, and it puts Emmanuel and others like him at an acute disadvantage. MARK PETTERSON But there are solutions to this horrible discrepancy in education. An organization called One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) has developed an ultra-heap, nearly unbreakable laptop designed especially for children in developing countries. It only costs $200 to manufacture and ship, and is equipped with wireless Internet, word processing and video-capture technology, as well as mul- works because it is a long-term, cost-effective way to positively affect the development of an exponential number of people. tiple educational applications in all subjects. Dubbed the "$100 laptop" (its developers expect to be able to produce it for about $100 in the near future), this little, green device has the potential to revolutionize education in poor countries. Already, national governments like Uruguay and Rwanda have ordered millions of units for their countries' students. You can see the affects for yourself at www.laptop.org. Other charities such as UNICEF (which has a chapter at KU) have similar programs to promote education among children living below the poverty line. Once basic needs like food and shelter are met, it is most important that a child in a developing country receives a good education. This process We all know that education is a powerful thing. It is about time that we shake off the rust of complacency, and devote ourselves to making the world a better place. Students at the University of Kansas do have the power to change things. village that can't even afford books, not to mention laptops, for school. The term "poor college student" is cliché. And worse, it is simply not true. Compared to $200 per student in developing nations, American expenditures on public education are closer to $10,000 per student. And that's just public primary education. We are constantly complaining about rising tuition at KU. But we don't know the first thing about hardship. And think about how much money we spend on completely unnecessary consumption like iPods, beer and new white Nikes. American college students spend an average of nearly $1,300 per year on entertainment alone. And then think about how much of a difference that money could make for a So next time you are buying a new computer, instead of spending hundreds of extra dollars to upgrade to the fancy new audio/ video device that you don't really need, use that money to buy a child a computer that will give him a fraction of the opportunity that you have been given. Emmanuel, by the way, was one of the first children to receive a "$100 laptop." He loves it, and even takes it home at night to share what he has learned with his family. He has the world at his fingertips. He can check national and world news, read online books, and talk to students from places as far away as India and Brazil. He can even read this article on Kansan.com. He was one of the lucky ones. With our help, his now-bright future could be shared by an entire generation. A generation that will be better educated, and better prepared to deal with problems such as war, famine and disease that they will inevitably encounter in a world where the odds are stacked against them. Petterson is a Prairie Village junior in English. The war comes home Iraq conflict becomes more than a statistic for the future wife of a Marine BESTY MCLEOD Under normal circumstances, war does not affect the typical col- affect the typical college student. Aside from an occasional offhand remark about the latest death toll or updated withdrawal proposal, the war doesn't occupy our minds or conversations, or have need to. Combat in Iraq is a TV show, a statistic in the paper, a sad waste of our military resources, but beyond these distant outlets it isn't really real. Most people our age are detached from the horrors of war, and have no desire to reconnect themselves. Our parents burned draft cards and to took the streets. Our grandparents rationed gas and sugar. The war of the time shoved itself in the lives of every American, enlisted or not. But what about our generation's war effort? There is a barrier between those who are affected by the war and those who aren't. Those of us on the wrong side of the wall are marked with a deep-rooted sadness and sense of loss, staring at the other side with a mixture of envy and anger. I am a future Marine wife, and until last Friday, I hadn't seen my fiancé in almost eight months. Most of the time I felt alone, unsure of where to turn when I cried. When they found out my fiancée was serving his second deployment in Iraq, people didn't know what to say, and instead they would bow their heads in an awkward attempt at something between a moment of silence and a nod of respect. I had crossed a social boundary and turned a light conversation into something much heavier; I brought in the human element of war, an unwelcome reality jolt for those who weren't affected by IEDs and kill counts. We are everywhere, those of us waiting for someone to come home, perpetually lighthearted and smiling because we know that no political science class or heartwarming tell-all book can help anyone understand what we go through, and we know that our situation is guaranteed to bring down the traditional carefree college air. We know that it's necessary to continue on with daily life and that our loved ones are fighting to come home to us. pare for the worst. After he left I accepted the possibility that the next time we were in church together, he could be lying in a casket instead of standing on the altar, that I could be in mourning black instead of wedding white. Military support groups insisted on avoiding watching the news, but unfortunately that wasn't an option for a journalism student, and I would struggle through my everyday assignments. When a Marine was killed I couldn't eat until the deceased's name was released, and when it was I would cry with grief and relief. When I saw my fiancé for the first time upon his return, I rushed into his arms and clung to him. I thought of the four guys from his platoon who didn't come home, and the families that weren't there celebrating with us. Even though he's stateside now, we still can't put Iraq behind us. Little things are an everyday ordeal. One night when fireworks were set off, he tense up, his eyes glazed over into the thousand-mile-stare and suddenly I was the enemy and the faraway thunder of bright lights was insurgent gunfire. I know wives who have woken up in the middle of the night to their husbands choking them, shouting in broken Arabic with the telltale stare that accompanies post traumatic stress disorder. It's popular to advertise supporting the troops. But how does buying a magnet and joining a Facebook group really support the men behind the Kevlar? There is more to war than what is shown on TV and YouTube; the effects of a deployment carry over into the home life, the work life and the school life. It doesn't just affect the troops themselves, it affects the lives of the loved ones left behind and the future of the relationships put on hold. The battles don't end on the front line, and above my tests and papers hangs the reality that no matter how much I engulf myself with schoolwork and pseudo-sympathy from family, friends and teachers, when I get home the war will be there waiting for me. We hope for the best and pre- McLeed is an Overland Park senior in journalism and Middle Eastern studies.

Smith > 6A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2007 CAMPUS General talks about media's role in Army BY COURTNEY CONDRON ccondron@kansan.com ccondron@kansan.com Three U.S. soldiers are guarding a checkpoint at 2 a.m. Suddenly, a truck approaches at high speed, ignoring their flashing lights and running over the checkpoint barriers. The truck is headed for the soldiers' position, so they begin firing warning shots. There is no one else to ask what to do, and they have to make a decision. They start shooting at the tires, and finally, the truck stops. The soldiers walk up to the driver and realize that he had simply fallen asleep at the wheel. This is an example of the escalating use of force used by the U.S. Army that Lt. Gen. William Caldwell told KU students about at a question-and-answer session on Thursday, sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Caldwell is a three-star general and commander of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and Ft. Leavenworth, Caldwell also spoke on Wednesday night at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Caldwell said that the Army's forces went through intensive training and simulation practices to prepare for situations such as this. He said soldiers had to be prepared to make decisions in a matter of seconds. Caldwell suggested to the University of Kansas that he come to speak to students. Paul DAnieri, associate dean of the college, said this was an important opportunity for students to talk to someone from the U. S. government who made important decisions. "These kinds of issues — culture, conflicts, political settlement and economics — are what we deal with. It's what we do." D'Aniert said. Caldwell also spoke to students about the Army's obligation to be open to media and reporters. "It's a two-way street, and we have a huge responsibility too." Caldwell said. "We are denying reporters access at the most critical times that they need access." Caldwell told the story of Sgt. 1st Class Paul Smith, an engineer who was doing construction and was attacked by Iraqi. Smith found a disabled machine gun and began firing rounds at the enemy. Finally, the Iraqi began to withdraw, but Smith was mortally wounded. "He gave his life," Caldwell said. U.S. Caldwell said these were the type of stories that the media needed to be telling, and the only way the media could was if the army let them embed with them to show the media what they were doing. Jon Goering/KANSAN Caldwell also talked about being a husband and father of five children and what it was like returning home after being deployed. He said he used to pay the bills, but after being deployed for 13 months, his wife took over, and he was never allowed to touch the checkbook again. Sgt. Gen. William Caldwell spoke to University of Kansas students on Wednesday and Thursday about his experiences in the Army. Caldwell said the media and the Army had a responsibility to cooperate. He said families left at home were in a tougher situation than the soldiers because they had to adjust to life without their loved ones. Caldwell and administrators at the college are working to provide joint programs between the University and Ft Leavenworth. "I like going into the educational environment because students are much more open." Caldwell said. "They may have particular views,but they are open to others and willing to engage in others." Edited by Elizabeth Cattell RESEARCH Increased CO, emissions may affect flowering plants BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS fchambers@kanan.com It's basic, junior-high science. Carbon dioxide plus water, plus sunlight equals healthy, happy plants. So theoretically, increased amounts of $ \mathrm{CO_{2}} $ in the air would yield super plants. But Joy Ward, an assistant professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Kansas, said sometimes too much of a good thing could be bad. Ward and Clint Springer, a postdoctoral researcher who works in Ward's lab, have found that increased levels of CO$_2$ in the atmosphere could cause plants to flower later. there is no single factor that dictates whether a plant will have accelerated or delayed flowering." Springer said. "We uncovered a big question." "What we found in this study is there is a lot of variability in the responses. And to generalize those, Ward and Springer recently published the study "Flowering time and elevated atmospheric $ \mathrm{CO}_{2} $” in the botany journal New Phytologist. Although the review was primarily a synthesis of other researchers' work, which Springer and Ward said was the most comprehensive synthesis on this subject to date, the two contributed work of their own to the paper as well. In their papers, Ward and Springer looked at how elevated levels of atmospheric $ \mathrm{CO}_{2} $ affect the genetic and molecular mechanisms that control plant flowering. Ward and Springer also acknowledged the implications their work could have on agricultural crops. They hope to incorporate their work into crop breeding in the future. Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring gas, but additional $ \mathrm{CO}_{2} $ is created through the burning of petroleum based fossil fuels and coal. Ward said people needed to be more aware of the effects that an increase in $ \mathrm{CO_{2}} $ emissions were having on the environment. "People are well aware that global warming is affecting plant development timing," Ward said. "We've ignored the factor of carbon dioxide." For their own research, Ward and Springer collected genotypes, or breeds, of the Arabidopsis thaliana, the mouse-ear cress plant, from 10 different geographical regions in the world. They grew the plants in controlled growth chambers at the current atmospheric level of $ \mathrm{CO}_{2} $ 380 parts per million, or ppm, and at the level they predict $ \mathrm{CO}_{2} $ will be at in 50 to 80 years, 700 mm. Consistent with other researchers' studies, Springer and Ward found that carbohydrates play a role in plant development. Ward said sugars sometimes acted as a signaling molecule for plants to flower. Springer said that inconsistency in the flowering times of the plants suggested that plants of the same species across the world were evolving differently. In the future, Ward said she would focus on the evolutionary factors affecting plant development in her lab. Springer will focus on the molecular mechanisms in his new lab at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, where he recently accepted a professorship. Springer said they hoped to pinpoint why and how plants were reacting to $ \mathrm{CO}_{2} $ and to apply their research to other plants that had a commonality in their make-up. According to Ward and Springer's paper, few studies have examined crop flowering-time responses to elevated levels of $ \mathrm{CO}_{2} $ . In the existing studies, 80 percent of those crops showed accelerated flowering times. "Once we understand how genetics play a role in this, that will be more for people who are interested in how it affects crops," Springer said. But researchers in the department of geography are concerned now. Nate Brunsell, assistant professor of geography, said that plants would have to take in more water to counter the increased amounts of CO $_2$. Brunsell said he expected these environmental issues to begin affecting students' lives in the near future. He said Georgia already had put restrictions on how much water citizens could use daily. YOU SHOULDN'T APPLY HERE In their synthesis, Ward and Springer already found that sorghum showed a delayed development time. Beers such as Guinness and Anheuser-Busch's Redbridge contain sorghum in its syrup form. According to the National Sweet Sorghum Producers and Processors Association's Web site, sorghum is a key ingredient in cattle feed and is a major crop in Kansas. Currently, CO2 emissions are not regulated in the U.S. Kansas already has taken a controversial step in this direction by refusing to allow Westar Energy to build a coal plant in Holcomb. Rod Brembey, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, first rejected the plan, and Governor Kathleen Sebelius upheld his decision. Kees van der Veen, an associate professor in the department of geography, said he expected another Dust Bowl in Kansas, similar to the one in the 1930s. ation uses."

That's how many people died that morning in early August 1863. No one is sure of the total, said Jennifer Weber, assistant professor of history. "It was cold-blooded murder," she said. Lawrence was the headquarters of the Kansas abolitionist movement and the most prominent anti-slavery city in the state. The Civil War was two years underway, and five years had passed since Bleeding Kansas died down. A federal law made it illegal to aid confederate guerillas — of course, this was aimed to stop Quantrill and his men. In turn, all the wives, mothers and sisters of these men were rounded up and jailed in Westport. The jail collapsed, killing four women and one girl. Weber said that Quantrill claimed the deaths were the immediate cause of his infamous raid. Senior center Sasha Kaun rises up for a dunk during the second half of the game against Washburn Thursday night in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas defeated Washburn 92-60. Kaun had 10 points on 4-for-4 shootout. "Quantrill came with people in mind who he wanted to kill," Weber said. But he didn't get any of them. On the back of this controversial T-shirt, which MU students thought up, is a Quantrill quote: "Raise the black flag and ride hard, boys. Our cause is just and our enemies many." "Obviously we wouldn't be endorsing something of that nature that definitely steps over the lines of good taste," said Chad Moller, Missouri's assistant athletic director for media relations. "If a shirt like that has an official MU mark on it, then what we would do is turn to our licensing people on campus." More surprising than the T-shirts themselves is that everyone I called at Missouri on Wednesday and Thursday Instead, his raiders swept through Lawrence on horses, killing any man they found. Many of the victims were shot in the back as they tried to run away, defenseless. Then Quantrill, the man who taught outlaw Jesse James his trade, took a torch to the business district and was on his way by noon. the athletics department, the multicultural department, three history professors and Missouri's student newspaper, The Maneater — either hadn't heard about the shirts or didn't call me back. A Missouri logo is in clear view on the front of the shirt, and more than a day had passed since the shirts surfaced on the Web. Apparently some Missouri fans think it's OK to make T-shirts that glorify a band of murderous racists. Their cause was slavery. Their enemies were abolitionists. They took the lives of many without regret and wanted to keep freedom away from men like Gus Rigel, who in 1950 was Missouri's first black student, and Norris Stevenson, who in 1957 was Missouri's first black football player. Jon Goering/KANSAN Hawks soar past Ichabods 92-60 "Unfortunately, Missouri has that cloud hanging over its head," said Carol Anderson, a professor of history at the If Quantrill's politics had prevailed, these two would have been in shackles instead of earning college degrees. The same goes for every black student at Missouri today, especially those who are NCAA student athletes. Can fans cheer them on by celebrating Missouri's racist history? 2 35 3 ICHLANDS 10 SEE MIZZOU ON PAGE 3B BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Darrell Arthur had heard words of advice and encouragement on the court during the season's first two games. "There you go, boy," Rush shouted at Arthur after he fed him the ball in the post. None sounded as sweet as those that came from Brandon Rush with six minutes left in the first half of Kansas' 92-60 victory against Washburn. It was the voice Kansas fans, players and coaches had been waiting since summertime to hear during a game. Rush, a junior guard, helped spark Kansas in the first half of its victory against Washburn on Thursday night, his first game back. The well-kept secret made it all the more special when Rush walked to the scorer's table with 16:37 left in the first half. Fans gave him a standing ovation and chanted his name when he stepped on the court for his first game action since his May ACL tear. Rush's rustiness was apparent right away. He missed long on a three-pointer for his first shot attempt when the ball bounced off the backboard. Three minutes later, Washburn's Brady Sisk boxed out and out-jumped Rush for a rebound. No one knew Rush would play Thursday, Kansas coach Bill Self told him he could on Monday, but he told the media it would be a game-time decision. Rush only told his mom, teammates and AAU coach. "I did not hold back at all." Rush said. "In practice I was aggressive all the time so I just tried to bring it out here on the court. I was a little nervous, but I was not worrying about my knee at all." After a quick break, Rush returned with 8:09 left in the half. He looked more ready this time. Rush found sophomore forward Darrell Arthur open for an easy basket down low to give Kansas a 15-11 lead. His outside touch hadn't disappeared either.

The players attribute some their success to their close friendships away from the field. Cohesiveness key to players' success BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Putting together a quality football team is a bit like preparing a fine meal. All of the ingredients must be perfectly proportioned to as provide the best taste possible — or in football's case, the most victories. At first glance, the mix of different personalities on Kansas' roster might seem a bit too scattered. "We all hang out and that's one of the reasons we're playing so good." Mortensen said. "We're all family and this is the closest team I've ever been on. Everybody on my team is like a brother. I've got everybody's number on my phone." But according to junior linebacker Joe Mortensen, all of the ingredients blend just fine. Toss a heaping spoonful of mild-mannered Brandon McAnderson into the pot and mix with a pinch of self-proclaimed country boy Jake Sharp. What do you get? The two backs have settled into their roles as the Jayhawks' one-two punch as the season has progressed. McAnderson, a bruising but deceptively agile 235-pound back, has gained more than 100 yards in three straight games. Sharp has put his devastating speed to use as the team's change-of pace back, picking up 705 yards on only 122 carry. The third best rushing offense in the Big 12 Conference. The Kansas defensive backfield is home to junior cornerback Ajib Talib, who is a national sensation, finalist for multiple individual awards and notoriously talkative. Surely that's a recipe for disaster isn't it? "We're actually a real close bunch of guys, and that's what helps us a lot," sophomore safety Justin Thornton said. "We all care for each other and when we go out there we know everyone on that field is willing to fight for the guy next to him."

KANSAN FILE PHOTO Talib Rocky season closes BY ALISON CUMBOW acumbow@kansan.com Kansas finished with a 7-9-4 overall record this season and a 5-2-3 record in conference play. In preseason, the Jayhawks were ranked No. 26 in Soccer Buzz Magazine but took awhile to find their groove on the field this fall. Nonetheless, their season ended with a sense of accomplishment. The team returned 18 letter-winners and nine starters from last season, in which it finished 11-7-1, and it gained 10 new players as well. The Jayhawks saw their fair share of ups and downs during the past few months of play but were consistently improving their game. LOOKING BACK STAT-WISE Kansas got off to a rough start this fall season, as it lost eight games, tied two and only won one of its first eleven games. The layhawks picked up their speed toward the middle of the season, however, and finished with six victories and two ties in their final nine games. Overall, Kansas scored 17 goals this season, and in its last eleven games, the team only let eight opposing goals in its net. Freshman defender Katie Williams also was named Newcomer of the Week after her success against Missouri later in the season. Williams also was named to the All-Big 12 Newcomer Team. AND THE INDIVIDUAL AWARDS GO TO... Many Jayhawks received honors this season. Sophomore midfielder Monica Dolinsky and junior forward Jessica Bush earned All-Tournament honors following Kansas' opening tournament in Hawaii when the team tied Auburn and lost to Hawaii. Senior midfielder Nicole Cauzillo was named to the Academic All-District 7 Second Team by ESPN the Magazine for the second year in a row and was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team. Soon after, freshman forward Kaitlin Cunningham was named the Big 12 Conference's Freshman Newcomer of the Week after scoring her first collegiate goal against Texas Tech. Senior midfielder Emily Strinden was the recipient of the Chick-Fil-A Community of Champions Award by the Big 12 Conference and was also named to the Academic All-District 7 Second Team by ESPN the Magazine. Senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week for three consecutive weeks in part because of back-to-back shutouts. A COACH'S ACCOMPLISHMENT Coach Mark Francis also earned a top award this season. Francis became the fifth soccer coach in the Big 12 to earn his 100th victory at a conference rival's field. The accomplishment came with the Jayhawks' victory against Texas Tech. He was the fourth-fastest coach to receive the honor. ENDING THE SEASON WITH NOT ONE BUT TWO RANGS Kansas' last home game and regulation match of the season against No. 18 Missouri seemed to solidify the end of Jayhawk losing streak. Freshman defender Katie Williams scored two goals in the second half, and senior goalkeeper Colleen Quinn made eight saves to earn the Jayhawks a 2-1 victory. The victory against Missouri was Kansas' first against a ranked opponent since last year when the Jayhawks beat No. 12 Duke. BIG 12 VICTORY DIDN'T HAPPEN THIS SEASON The match against the Tigers placed the lajahaws at the No.3 seed for the Big 12 Championships, and things were looking up for the team as it headed to San Antonio to face off against its conference foes. Last week, any goal of advancing in the tournament was lost, as Oklahoma State shut out Kansas 3-0 in the first round. — Edited by Jeff Briscoe The layhawks' most diverse group plays just a few yards in front of the defensive backs.

To satisfy donors/season ticket holders' needs, student tickets likely will be much less for some games. Big 12 Championship - some public tickets available.

Jackson had five. defensive rebounds to go along with his 10 points. BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) a flat-footed three-pointer alone in the corner. The Jayhawks were on top 20-13. His best — and scariest — play came with four minutes left in the half. Rush leaped five feet away from the basket for a transition lay-up and fell to the ground out of bounds causing plenty of worried gasps from the crowd. He got up a second later, grabbed an offensive rebound and tipped the ball in. "I asked him, 'Did that feel good?' " Self said. "He said, 'Yeah that felt good.' He needed to challenge somebody and have somebody knock him on his can and get right back up. That was good. I think that will help him." His first-half stat line read like this: seven points, two assists, three rebounds in 12 minutes. When Rush entered the game the second time, Kansas led 17-13. The Jayhawks built a 32-16 lead by the time he exited the game with 2:37 left in the half. "He was as good as a performer as we had tonight," Self said. "He was a big bright spot for us. He got knocked down, and that needed to happen. He went to the goal hard one time, and that needed to happen. I thought he did some good things. I was real happy for him." So, Rush came back — how did the rest of the team do? Not quite good enough yet, Self said. He said that the defense was still a work in progress and that the team didn't play well enough early in the first half. The Jayhawks turned it around in the second half by going down low. Arthur scored 10 of his 14 points in the second half, and senior center Sasha Kaun scored all nine of his in the second half. Kansas also made seven three-pointers, including two each from freshmen Conner Teahan and Tyrel Reed, as the jayhawks put up 58 points in the second half. Rush never left the bench during the last 20 minutes. Trainers told Self that Rush could only play 10 minutes, and Self said he wanted to keep Brandon in for a longer time during the first half so he wouldn't have to sit during halftime and warm up his knee again. Self said they wouldn't know how long Rush could play during the next game for a few days. The knee didn't bother Rush all night. He said he felt like his normal self and didn't even feel out of breath when he came out of the game. The only worries he has now are mental, and he said those are starting to fade away. The knee problem? That's a thing of the past. "If they bump into the knee," Rush said, "I won't feel the pain. "They're going to be hurting, not me."

Washburn 60 Stewart brings highlights Monster dunk, block earn senior's first standing ovation BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com For more than two years, Kansas fans have been waiting to see the real Rodrick Stewart — a guy with the ability to change a game with an acrobatic block or electric dunk. It took Stewart more than two years to show Kansas fans what his capable on a basketball court, but it took him only 37 minutes to earn his first standing ovation. Against Washburn Thursday, Stewart finished with nine points, four assists, four rebounds and two plays worthy of SportCenter's Top 10. The crowd noticed. With 3:30 left in the game, Stewart exited to a roaring ovation from both the students and the season ticket holders — and what was that the students were chanting? "The other years I was kind of scared to try things. I was playing not to mess up," Stewart said. "If you're just going out there, letting the game come to you and not trying to force things, it makes it so much easier." "Rod-rick Ste-wart," clap-clap clap-clap-clap. Stewart's renewed confidence showed against Washburn. And with But Stewart hasn't always been the guy fans are talking about after games. After transferring from Southern California in December 2004, Stewart averaged 0.8 points per game in his first two seasons at Kansas. But Stewart didn't keep his head down, and he credited last season's Southern Illinois game in the NCAA tournament — a game in which he scored three points in nine minutes — for giving him motivation to work last summer. Sherron Collins out until Jan.1 with a foot injury and Brandon Rush easing into the rotation, it was the perfect time for Stewart to show Kansas fans what he can bring to the table. in transition. That was a very, very athletic play." "You're only going to be as good as you pull yourself, so I put in the work, and to be honest, I felt like I had no choice but to get on the court," Stewart said. With Collins out, Stewart will most likely fill Rush's spot in the starting line-up until Rush is 100 percent healthy. That's fine with Stewart. He has no problem hearing his named called out during the pregame introductions. "Right when Sherron got hurt, I was like man, anytime one of your players get hurt it's an unfortunate situation," Stewart said. "At the same time, that's when players have to step up." Then came the "The Block." Stewart made up for his own turnover, hustled back on defense and swatted a Washburn layup attempt off the backboard. "That's the highest I've seen him jump since he's been here," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "But he almost got hung on his dunk, I thought. But that was an unbelievable block And if fans got tired of talking about junior Brandon Rush's return, they were probably talking about Stewarts' two highlights. First came "The Dunk." It came when Russell Robinson started a fast break with an emphatic block on a three-point attempt. Robinson chased down the loose ball and found Rodrick Stewart streaking down the middle of the floor. Stewart did the rest, putting down a powerful one-handed flush. "I started my freshman year at Southern California, and to start here, it means so much more because you're on one of the biggest stages and you want to go out there and produce." — Edited by Tara Smith Jon Goering/KANSAN 22 KENSA'S 5 Senior guard Rodrick Stewart makes a pass during Thursday night's game. Stewart started the game at guard. He had nine points and four rebounds in 19 minutes. Lineup changes help Hawks But what happened next wasn't part of the plan. As the announcer emphatically yelled "6-foot-4 senior from Seattle, Wash," to welcome Stewart, 6-foot-11 senior Sasha Kaun trotted onto the court. long time for this moment. Stewart, who has only played an average of five and a half minutes per game in his Kansas career, made his second career start as a Jayhawk last night in a 92-60 victory against Washburn. He said hearing his name announced to the Allen Fieldhouse crowd was surreal. Rodrick Stewart had waited a long time for this moment. Stewart who has only "I was sitting there on the bench and Sasha started walking out," Stewart said. "Then it was like 'six-four senior', and he ran back. I was like, 'awk, man.'" Unfortunately for the lajahwacks, Stewart's introduction wasn't the only blunder Kaun contributed in the game. Kaun lost two turnovers, committed two fouls and missed two free throws within the first two minutes. When Kaun fouled for the second time, Kansas coach Bill Self had seen enough. Self benched Kaun for the rest of the first half. PETER LAMBERT BY CASE KEEFER KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM "I told Sasha, I said, 'You're contributing to getting us off to a bad start just because of making a bone-headed play,'" Self said. There's a simple cure Self can use to prevent similar beginnings in the future: Start Darnell Jackson. Every time Jackson, who currently serves as Kansas's sixth man, has come in for Kaun this season, he has completely outshined him. The best exhibit of that phenomenon occurred against the Ichabods. Jackson came in and made an immediate change to bring the Jayhawks out of the ditch Kaun had dug. Jackson blocked an Ichabod three-point shot and nailed a jumper from the free-throw line right after subbing in to spark the Jayhawks. He proceeded to the locker room with a team-high 10 points at halftime. Kaun played better in the second half and logged 10 minutes, 10 points and only one foul. But that doesn't change the fact that Jackson should be a starter on this team. After the game, Stewart said he was willing to undertake any role to help Kansas to a national championship. Me too, Rod, and my first suggestion is make Darnell Jackson a member of the Jayhawk starting five. Kaun still shot 2-for-6 from the free throw line and had four turnovers in 12 minutes. That is not Kansas basketball. Jackson scraps for every loose ball, elevates with no hesitation and sacrifices his body play after play. Kaun doesn't play nearly as aggressive. His first half play gave me a worse headache than I get when listening to John Denver. Luckily, Kaun couldn't mess up Stewart's second memorable occurrence of the night. Stewart thundered a ghastly slam dunk down and made a beautiful block in transition in the final five minutes of the game. basketball notebook Edited by Elizabeth Cattell Conner Teahan is making Self playing-time decision by showcasing his shooting stroke. Teahan, a freshman walk-on guard, scored eight points on a perfect 2-for-2 PERFECT C. J. MILLER Teahan from three-point range and 2-for-2 from the foul line. He'll still probably find it tough to get minutes because Self said there were too many guards ahead of him.

Oklahoma freshman quarterback Sam Bradford has quietly stayed at first in the nation in passing efficiency most of the year and averages 250 yards per game and three touchdowns. Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrel ranks third and averages 443 yards per game and four touchdowns. Harrel, however, is more prone to making mistakes and has thrown 12 interceptions this season. That's good news for Oklahoma defensive backs D.J. Wolfe and Nic Harris, who have combined for seven interceptions on the season. The rivalry game may have lost a little bit of its luster last weekend when Ohio State and Michigan were knocked off — but not much. NO. 7 OHIQ STATE (10-1) AT NO. 23 MICHIGAN (8-3) A Big Ten Conference championship and an automatic berth in the Rose Bowl will still be rewarded to the winner of this game. But the Wolveries may be playing without their two main contributors. Senior quarterback Chad Henne and senior running back Mike Hart are questionable for the game. Neither Henne nor Hart have beaten Ohio State in their collegiate careers and returned for their senior seasons partly for a shot at the Buckeyes and a Big Ten title. The Buckeye offensive attack starts with sophomore running back Chris Wells. One of the most highly touted recruits out of high school two years ago, Wells has lived up to the hype this season by averaging nearly six yards per carry. NO. 22 KENTUCKY (7-3) AT NO. 8 GEORGIA (8-2) Georgia might be playing as well as any team in the nation right now. In their past two Southeastern Conference games, the Bulldogs have beaten ranked opponents, Florida and Auburn, by a combined total of 37 points. Freshman Knowshon Moreno is averaging 173 total yards in the past three games. Sophomore quarterback Matthew Stafford is developing consistency with three straight games of at least 215 passing yards and two touchdowns. Things haven't gone as smoothly at Kentucky of late. The Wildcats have lost two of their past three since a much-celebrated victory against Louisiana State. Andre Woodson erased his name from Heisman consideration two weeks ago with three interceptions and no touchdowns against Mississippi State. The defense seems to have regressed and ranks 11th in the SEC. NO. 18 BOSTON COLLEGE (8-2) AT NO. 15 CLEMSON There hasn't been a battle of this magnitude between New Englanders and South Carolinians since the Civil War. (8-2) The winner advances to the Atlantic Conference Championship Game as the Atlantic Division representative. To win this year, Boston College must escape a two-game losing skid with better play from the defense. The Eagles like to blitz sophomore linebacker Alex Albright, and it'll be up to him to apply pressure on Clemson quarterback Cullen Harper early. The Tigers are peaking. Since being embarrassed by Virginia Tech last month, Clemson has won four straight by an average of 35 points. ASSOCIATED PRESS NO. 5 WEST VIRGINIA (8-1) AT NO. 22 CINCINNATI (0-2) (8-2) Cincinnati ranks third in the nation in turnover margin at plus-16 but first in penalties with 97. The Bearcat defense has proven stern enough to fight through penalty problems, though. Led by a strong group of linebackers, they have held opponents to an average of less than 100 rushing yards per game. Believe it or not, the Mountaineer defense has been just as impressive. West Virginia, usually known for its explosive offense, ranks ninth in the nation in total defense. Mountainer seniors Johnny Dingle and Marc Margo have provided pressure on opposing quarterbacks and paved the way for strong years by defensive backs Ryan Mundy and Eric Wicks. OTHER GAMES: NO. 5 MISSOURI (9-1) AT KANSAS STATE (5-5) The Wildcats are in a must-win situation to guarantee themselves a bowl appearance. The Tigers must win to keep their hopes of a Big 12 Championship alive. OKLAHOMA STATE (5-5) AT BAYLOR (3-8) Many suspect the game in Waco, Texas, will be Baylor coach Guy Morris' last as the boss of the Bears. Morris has a record of 18-39. NO.1 LOUISIANA STATE (9-1) AT MISSISSIPPI (3-7) MIAMI (5-5) AT NO.10 VIRGINIA TECH (8-2) The LSU defense has been top caliber all season but the offense is emerging from the shadows. For four straight games, the Tigers have moved the ball at will and scored at least 30 points. 7 Ohio State couldn't tackle Illinois last week, but the loss didn't eliminate them from the Big 10 race. Michigan and Ohio State play for the conference title tomorrow in Ann Arbor, Mich. Whether the Hokies win or lose, their game against in-state rival Virginia will be for the ACC Coastal Division championship next week. NO.13 HAWAII (9-0) AT NEVADA (5-4) Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan, who is one touchdown pass away from setting the career NCAA record, may not play against the Wolfpack Either way, Nevada's pass defense has been sturdy all year behind the leadership of senior Justin Jackson. The Gators warm up for a game against in-state rival Florida State with, well, another in-state team. Led by quarterback Rusty Smith, the Owls will look to throw on the iffy Gator pass defense in the first ever meeting between the two teams. FLORIDA ATLANTIC (5-4) AT NO 14 FLORIDA (7-3) IDAHO (1-9) AT NO. 18 BOISE STATE (9-1) This game used to be a rivalry but has turned into an annual slaughter. The Broncos won eight straight against the Vandals and 16 straight against Western Athletic Conference opponents. VANDERBILT (5-5) AT NO. 19 TENNESSEE (7-3) The Commodores have won only one of their past 23 games against the Volunteers, but this year's team may be the best in that stretch. NO. 20 ILLINOIS (8-3) Illini sophomore running back Daniel Dufrene posted a career-high 108 rushing yards in last week's victory against Ohio State. Dufrene could find more room Saturday against a weak WildCats rushing defense. NORTHWESTERN (6-5) AT SYRACUSE (2-8) AT NO. 25 CONNECTICUT (8-2) Huskie coach Randy Edsall has done a great job turning around the Connecticut football program this season and is a graduate and former coach at Syracuse.

Contributing to Student Success SENATE GOOD LUCK AGAINST IOWA STATE! Contributing to Student Success SENATE COMMENTARY With holidays approaching, NFL play gears up With Thanksgiving just around the corner and the holiday games to follow, the NFL season is really just getting started. Here are the players you should start and sit this weekend. START'EM RB Chester Taylor, Minnesota Vikings — A lot of people have forgotten that Taylor rushed for more than 1,000 yards last season for the Vikings. With the injury to Adrian Peterson, Taylor could become a major fantasy option again. He has seen fewer carries this season because of Peterson, but he has still contributed on offense and will not have trouble adapting to the starting role. Taylor will have a big day on Sunday playing against a weak Raiders run defense. WR Andre Johnson, Houston Texans — Johnson is finally coming back from an injury that sidelined him early in the season. The Texans have had inconsistency issues in their passing offense, so Johnson's return couldn't come at a better time. Before his injury, Johnson C. D. Srinivasan BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM played in two games and averaged 131 yards receiving per game and 18.7 yards per catch. Johnson is coming back against a New Orleans defense that has given up a lot of yards through the air, and it's almost guaranteed that Johnson will have a big effect on the game. QB Eli Manning, New York Giants — Manning threw two interceptions in a big divisional game against the Cowboys last weekend. Previously he led the Giants on a six-game winning streak. He will face a Lions secondary that frankly seems cowardly. The Lions give up a lot of yards through the air, and Manning could take full advantage of that on Sunday. Philadelphia defense — The NEED CASH? et instant instant! Donate plasma. It pays to save a life. SIT'EM 816 W 24' St Lawrence, KS 66046 (785) 749-5750 www.xlzblama.com xlzblama.com ZLB Plasma For any duration time may vary. New Users please bring phones 32 proof of identity, and Social Security Card valid only for eligible new users. $40 TODAY $80 THIS WEEK FOR NEW DONORS Eagles are coming off a big victory against their divisional foe the Redskins. The Eagles offense put up a lot of points in that game but gave up a lot as well. On Sunday, the Eagles get a shot at the only winless team, Miami. Miami will start Johnny Beck at quarterback for the first time this year, according to ESPN.com. However, he gets to make his start in one of the toughest sports cities in America. The Eagles home crowd could rattle him, but he should be more worried about the Eagles defensive line. RB Thomas Jones, New York Jets — Jones should be rested coming off a bye. He could have a big game considering he has fresh legs, right? Wrong. Jones faces the NFL's best and, as far as I'm convinced, hardest-hitting defense in the NFL. Jones has yet to score a rushing touchdown this season. Don't look for his output to increase just yet because it will be a long day for Jones on Sunday. WR Joey Galloway, Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Galloway has played well with Jeff Garcia at quarterback this season and has had a productive year so far. On Sunday though, Galloway will see one of the top 10 passing defenses in the NFL when he and Tampa Bay face off against the Atlanta Falcons. Galloway also will be matched up against the Falcons defensive star in DeAngelo Hall. Hall has proven one of the few bright spots on this Atlanta team, and he will darken Galloway's day on Sunday.

He has put Detroit in a positive mindset, but he should be ready for a rough day on Sunday against the Giants. The Giants have a strong secondary with big help coming from rookie Aaron Ross, and they also lead the NFL in sacks. Kitna could be taken to the ground a lot on Sunday and will be pressured too often to get momentum on offense. Carolina defense — The Panthers are a mediocre defense at best. They have been plagued by injuries this season, so it is not hard to understand. On Sunday, their defense will have an even tougher challenge facing the Green Bay Packer offense.

Edited by Ashlee Kieler 》VOLLEYBALL Seniors prepare for last games, final words BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Emily Brown and Caitlin Mahoney have no clue what they're going to say during their senior day speeches after Saturday's 11 a.m. match against Iowa State. Brown and Mahoney Jenny Brown "We keep talking about it, so definitely know they have to do one, but they've been focused on other things lately — like winning volleyball matches. "We've been so focused on going to K-State and winning," Mahoney said. and Mahoney's last match at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center has finally started to sink in. Kansas lost to No. 12 Kansas State 3-1 on Wednesday. The realization that Saturday will be Brown's I know it's coming, Brown said. "But until the game is actually over, that's when it will be like 'wow.'" Brown and Mahoney leave together in the Pamela Mahoney same senior class but arrived a year apart. Mahoney, a St. Louis, Mo., native, took a medical redshirt during her freshman year in 2003. Brown, a Baldwin City native, arrived a year later in 2004. Both arrived at just the right time. Kansas made the NCAA tournament during Mahoney's first three years with the program, while Brown joined in for the last two of those three NCAA berths. But Kansas has struggled to a 12-16 record — including a 5-13 conference mark — during their senior campaigns. Now two matches remain: Iowa State on Saturday and a road match at Texas Tech next Wednesday. The games are two opportunities for Brown and Mahoney to make sure they leave their careers behind on their own terms. "I just want to make sure we have no regrets and we play our butts off," Mahoney said. "Even if we have only two games left, I want to win so bad it ridiculous" Brown agreed. Brown agreed. "Just ending on a good note," Brown said. "I think Caitlin and I would both like that." And luckily for Brown and Mahoney, they both have a day left to work on those senior day speeches. "I don't know if tears will be shed," Mahoney said. Brown said the duo had wanted to do a rap. "You know, spice it up a little bit," Mahoney said. "We just didn't have time prepare. We've been focused on other things." MATCH PREVIEW Kansas vs. Iowa State Saturday 11 a.m. Horejsi Family Athletics Center Kansas fell to Iowa State 3-0 when the teams met on Oct. 3. The Jayhawks have lost their last five matches against the Cyclones. SENIOR DAY TIME CHANGE Saturday's match with Iowa State was originally scheduled for 7 p.m., but was moved up to 11 a.m. Kansas coach Ray Bechard said the change was made because of the 2:30 p.m. game against Iowa State. Memorial Stadium. "People can go to the volleyball game in the morning and then head to the football game and enjoy the rest of the day," Bechard said. Fans with a Iowa State football ticket can get a discounted price to the volleyball match. UP NEXT Kansas finishes its season with a road match against Texas Tech Nov. 21. The Jayhawks beat the Red Raiders 3-0 on Sept. 22, at the Horelli Family Athletics Center.

Ranked No.4 in the AP Top 25 and No.3 in the BCS, the team could be destined for a Big 12 title if it can keep rolling through November the way it has since September. BY THE NUMBERS (2007 Averages and National Rank) 45. 9ppg—2nd scoring offense 211. 5ypg -18th rushing offense 282. 1 ypg—19th passing offense 14.9ppg — 2nd scoring defense 89.4ppg — 7th rushing defense 217. 2 ypg — 50th passing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Junior cornerback Kendrick Harper. Because Iowa State has two very capable wide receivers Harper in RJ. Sumail and Todd Blythe, Aqib Talbil will not be able to single-handedly stop the Cyclone passing game. Harper, who was burned deep several times against Oklahoma State, will have to match up against one of the two formidable Iowa State receivers. QUESTION MARKS >> WILL Kansas overlook Iowa State? This is the classic "trap game" scenario. The 10-0 Jayhawks are trying to put the finishing touches on a dream season while the 3-8 Cyclones are playing their last game and have nothing left to lose. What could be lost in the shuffle is the fact that Iowa State hasn't been bad as of late, winning two straight games.

It's been a while since "Sparky" threw a pass to the opposing team. Reesing has gone 179 pass attempts without giving the ball away, and with every complete pass and touchdown, he climbs further into the race for the Heisman Award. JAYHAWKS READY FOR CYCLONES Iowa State seniors end season in Lawrence this Saturday KANSAS VS. IOWA STATE 2:30 p.m.Saturday, Memorial Stadium Kansas 9-0,5-0 Big 12 Conference OFFENSE The Kansas offense made a splash in front of a national television audience last weekend and should do the same against Iowa State. Kansas has not turned the ball over in two games and sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing has not thrown an interception in more than two months. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson and sophomore running back Jake Sharp have enjoyed consistent success against every defense they have faced because of the sturdy Jayhawk offensive line. Junior left tackle Anthony Collins is one of the country's best and the rest of the line is quietly effective. ★★★★ DEFENSE Kansas' defense yielded more than 450 total yards for the second consecutive week, but that isn't anything to be ashamed of against offenses such as Nebraska and Oklahoma State. After all, in the new-look Big 12 Conference, 400 yards is becoming the new 300 yards as far as defensive standards go. Kansas should not have much trouble containing Iowa State's offense. The Cyclones passing game has been unsteady all season long because of quarterback Bret Meyer's tendency to throw the ball to the wrong team. With junior cornerback Aqib Talbil and sophomore safety Justin Thornton in the defensive backfield, the Jayhawks should improve their turnover margin this week. ★★★★ SPECIALTEAMS Kansas' kicking and kick returning has been good. Kansas' punting and punt returning has been bad. Senior kicker Scott Webb converter all three of his field goal attempts last week and is second in the Big 12 in field goals made. Junior wide receiver Marcus Herford is far and away the best kick returner in the conference, posting a per-return average (31 yards per return) five yards better than the next player on the list. The punting game has been a mess. Senior punter Kyle Tucker is currently 11th in the Big 12 in yards per punt and sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb has not returned a punt for more than 15 yards XI ★★★ MOMENTUM 86 The Jayhawks are picking up steam with every week and every win. At 10-0, the team has grabbed the nation's attention and recently appeared prominently in USA Today and Sports Illustrated. Through all of the hype and the speedy ascent to the near-pinnacle of the college football world, the Jayhawks have remained grounded. Coach Mark Mangino has stressed a "one game at a time" approach and his players seem to have genuinely bought into the philosophy. It's already certain that 2007 will go down as one of the most memorable seasons in the history of Kansas football. ★★★★ A COACHING Iowa State 3-8,2-5 Big 12 Conference OFFENSE This Ed Warinner guy knows a bit about offense, huh? The Jayhawks first-year offensive coordinator has reversed the team's offensive fortunes by overhauling former offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro's stale schemes. The no-huddle offense takes the decisions out of the quarterback's hands in favor of letting the coaching staff decide on changes at the line of scrimmage. So far, so good: Todd Reesing has only thrown four interceptions this season. ★★★☆★ The Cyclone offense has transformed from laugable to respectable since the beginning of the year. Maybe coach Gene Chizik developed magical powers and fixed the offense. Or perhaps, it's just the infusion of young talent finally meshing with tested veterans. Freshman running back Alexander Robinson has taken over as the starter and performed admirably in the three games since. Robinson has rushed for 337 yards and six touchdowns since being named the starter. The Cyclos also rely on youngsters on the offensive line. Three underclassmen start up front and have endured the ups and downs of the season by becoming solid at both run and pass blocking. At other positions, Iowa State has more recognizable names. Senior quarterback Bret Meyer is the school's all-time leading passer and senior wide receiver Todd Blythe is the school's all-time leading receiver. Meyer will likely connect with Blythe for a few final times Saturday. DEFENSE It's not only the offense that loses record-setting players to graduation after Saturday. Senior linebacker Alvin Bowen led the nation with 13 tackles per game last year. He's fallen off a bit this year, only averaging 8.5 tackles per game, but is still the leader of a decent ISU defense. The strength of the Cyclone defense is its ability to stop the run. It held Oklahoma's potent stable of running backs to three yards per carry a few weeks ago. Bowen's main helper in the rush defense is senior linebacker Jon Banks. Banks moved to linebacker from safety and has ideal speed to stop plays off of the edges. Iowa State's opponents have attacked its secondary all season long. It was tinkered with different combinations of players for the four spots but can't seem to find the right equation to solve the team's problems. Junior cornerback Chris Singleton is the only member of the secondary that has shown he's an interception hazard. ★★☆☆☆ ★★★★ SPECIAL TEAMS The Cyclones special teams are special, all right – especially bad. The Cyclones can work around their lack of speedy playmakers on offense and defense but not on special teams. They rank dead last in the nation in punt returns. Their kick return unit isn't much better, ranking 115th in the nation. Eleven different players have returned kicks this year with the longest return only 41 yards. Mike Brandtner barely edges out Kansas punter Kyle Tucker for next to last in punting average in the Big 12. Bret Culbertson serves as a good kicker but, unfortunately for the Cyclones, can't do anyone's jobs. ★ ★ ★ ★ MOMENTUM The Cyclones seem to be fully adapted to new head coach Gene Chizik's style and schemes and are in a perfect position momentum-wise headed into their final game. They've won two in a row, including a comeback victory last week, and have nothing to lose. The departing seniors will do all they can to make their last game a memorable one. The returning players know the game at Kansas will be their first opportunity to impress Chizik heading into the off-season. ★★★★ COACHING Gene Chizik was questioned after early season losses to Kent State and FCS opponent Northern Iowa. But make no mistake: Chizik is the man for the job. He was one of the hottest coaching prospects on the market and the Cyclones are lucky to have him. His first recruiting class has already had an effect, and with more of his own players, his team could make a run at a Big 12 North title in the next few years. Don't forget that he's the same guy who engineered the defenses of undefeated teams Auburn and Texas in the last five years. ★★★ ☆☆ ISU KICK-OFF AT A GLANCE Iowa State's season ends in Lawrence Saturday when the Cyclones try to knock off fourth-ranked Kansas. The Cyclones have won two games in a row and are playing their best football down the stretch. At 3-8 and with no shot at bowl eligibility, Iowa State's sole objective in the game is to ruin Big 12 North division-foe Kansas' undefeated season. A victory would make up for the lack of a postseason. BY THE NUMBERS 2007 Averages and National Rank 19. 18ppg—109th scoring offense 205. 18ypg----79th passing offense 130. 18ypg-87th rushing offense 30. 55ppg—85th scoring defense 245. 18ypg - 86th passing defense 129. 18ypg-38th rushing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Senior quarterback Bret 9,396 passing yards, Meyer ranks third all time in the Big 12 conference in passing yards. He's a four-year starter for Senior quarterback Bret Meyer. Meyer ended a storied career in Lawrence Saturday. With Asher Fusco Meyer Meyer the Cyclones and in that time has become the face of the program. Although he's had a rough senior year, expect Meyer to be poised and determined against the Jayhawks. Meyer will be the on-the-field leader for the Cyclones one last time Saturday. QUESTION MARKS How will the secondary combat Todd Reesing? It's no secret that Reesing is one of the conference's best quarterbacks. It's also no secret that the ISU secondary looks incompetent at times. Even if it means sending fewer blitzes and dropping back more defenders, the Cyclones can't give Reesing open targets. Can the senior class leave a lasting impression on the program? Iowa State loses 19 seniors. A victory against a team competing for a national championship would undoubtedly put Ames, Iowa, back on the college football map.

Kansas defeated Iowa State 45-7 and improved to 11-0, notching the highest total victory in school history. The Jayhawks rose to No. 2 in the Associated Press Top 25, the coaches' poll and the BCS Standings. Sophomore quarterback Rodey Reeshed completed 21 of 36 passes for 253 yards and four touchdowns and no interceptions, stretching his streak of pass attempts without an interception to 205.

Dennis Halpin, KU Credit Union spokesman, said his company would never ask for an account number in an e-mail. FOOTBALL Resale price of Kansas-Missouri tickets increases The only thing, possibly, putting up bigger numbers than the Kansas offense right now is the secondary market of Saturday's Border Showdown between Kansas and Missouri. Tickets for the game available on eBay, StubHub and Ace Sports are fetching staggering prices. StubHub, which monitors ticket resale prices, has the average KU-MU ticket going for $157. Just last year, the resale price of the contest was Top 26. The Web site has a "StubHub Top 25 Rivalry Rankings" index that lists the top 25 average resale price of college football games in 2007. The Jayhawk-Tiger game, as of Sunday afternoon, ranked 15, behind rivalries such as Ohio State-Michigan, USC-Notre Dame and Oklahoma-Texas. Most tickets on StubHub are currently being sold for $250 or more.

"We learn how to be attorneys, and we train people to be witnesses," Halflich said. "We also have real objection battles." Claire Haflich, Leawood junior and captain of the team, said the University of Kansas' chapter was ranked 45 out of the 600 collegiate teams in the country, which placed it in the top 10 percent in the nation. At the beginning of each school year, the organization receives a packet from the national chapter that contains a different incident, such as a murder, criminal or civil case. The 12 members use the packet information to set up the prosecuting and defend- After the members of Mock Trial construct their cases, they compete against other Mock Trial organizations at tournaments throughout the year. The 12 members are divided into two teams of six, based on skill level. Depending on the group's finances and the competition level of a tournament, both teams may compete at a tournament, but the two KU teams will never compete against each other. Taylor Wiles, Ottawa senior and president of KU Mock Trial, said Kansas' team attended six to 12 tournaments every year throughout the state and country. This semester, members have already competed in two tournaments, in which they took eighth and first place. The team will next compete Nov. 29 through Dec. 2 at Arizona State University. Haflich said she was confident that the group would do well enough at the regional competition in March to make it to the national competition in April in Iowa. "We have a lot of past talent and a lot of new talent, which is a positive thing for any organization," she said. Although KU Mock Trial deals with issues related to law, the organization is not geared solely toward pre-law students. Haflich said that half of the organization consisted of pre-law students, and the other half of the members had different majors. "We really accommodate speaking and acting, in addition to the law aspect of it." Wiles said. Both Wiles and Hafflich agreed that participation in KU Mock Trial provided taught valuable skills to its members. "Mock trial teaches you how to make clear statements, be concise, and be persuasive," Haflich said. "It's really effective for anything you could do in life." KU Mock Trial meets at 6 p.m. on Thursdays and at 10 a.m. on Sundays. Tryouts for the team are usually held at the beginning of the fall semester.

Associated Press ODD NEWS Divorced pastor's wife claims church as asset MINEOLA, N.Y. — The estranged wife of a pastor claims her husband blended his professional and personal finances so thoroughly that his church should be counted as an asset in their divorce. A judge agreed in a decision published this week to hear arguments on the claim, and he ordered a financial appraisal of the church. Lawyers said it could represent the first time anyone in New York state has tried to treat a religious institution as a marital asset. The wife argues that her husband of 31 years used his Brooklyn church as a "personal piggy bank," setting his own income, spending the congregation's tithes as he pleased and running a catering business from the building, according to the decision by state Supreme Court Judge Arthur M. Diamond. The couple's names were redacted from the decision. The wife said $50,000 of the couple's money went into starting the church, and that the church property is partly hers. "That church is no different than any other business he might have opened," said the wife's lawyer, Robert Pollack. The pastor maintains he is simply a church employee, and the institution's funds should not be considered his, according to Diamond's decision. "My client can't own the church," said the minister's lawyer, Eleanor Gery. A message left at the church was not immediately returned. most e-mailed 1.

Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office recommends students delete the e-mails if they receive them. Bailey said it was rare for a local company like KU Credit Union to be included in fraudulent e-mails. He said it was also strange that they seemed to be aimed only at people with University e-mail addresses. Dennis Halpin, spokesperson for KU Credit Union, said the e-mails weren't from his company. KU Credit Union, a financial institution similar to a bank with about 78,000 Lawrence clients, would never ask for information such as account numbers or credit card numbers in e-mail. Halpin said. The KU Credit Union Web site has a notification asking people who receive the e-mails to notify it immediately. This isn't the first time phishers have used the KU Credit Union's name to send e-mails. Phishers claim to be from legitimate companies and send e-mails to users asking for personal information. Halpin said phishers did a good job at replicating the KU Credit Union screen shot all the time. KU Credit Union traces the phishers down and shuts down their Web addresses, preventing them from sending more e-mails. Halpin said. But the addresses are usually traced to different countries, making it nearly impossible to prosecute the people who send them. "it's pretty complicated." Halpin said. "The main step is educating members as to what the real messages are" "I figure they can contact me in a different way," she said. "If it's a real bank, they can call me or mail me" Amanda Knoll, Morland senior, and Katey Basye, Hays junior, didn't recall receiving the KU Credit Union e-mails, but they said they received e-mails like it all the time. Knoll questions the accuracy of an e-mail that would ask for something like an account number in an e-mail. Basye just deletes every e-mail she receives from major companies. Edited by Luke Morris 》 EXPEDITION Japan whalers target humpbacks BY HIROKO TABUCHI ASSOCIATED PRESS SHIMONOSEKI, Japan — A defiant Japan embarked on its largest whaling expedition in decades Sunday, targeting protected humpbacks for the first time since the 1960s despite international opposition. An anti-whaling protest boat awaited the fleet offshore. Bid farewell in a festive ceremony in the southern port of Shimonoseki, four ships headed for the waters off Antarctica, resuming a hunt that was cut short by a deadly fire last February that crippled the fleet's mother ship. Families waved little flags emblazoned with smiling whales and the crew raised a toast with cans of beer, while a brass band played "Popeye the Sailor Man." Officials told the crowd that Japan should not give into militant activists and preserve its whale-eating culture. "They're violent environmental terrorists," mission leader Hajime Ishikawa told the ceremony. "Their violence is unforgivable ... we must fight against their hypocrisy and lies." The whalers plan to kill up to 50 humpbacks in what is believed to be the first large-scale hunt for the once nearly extinct species since a 1963 moratorium in the Southern Pacific put the giant marine mammals under international protection The mission also aims to take as many as 935 minke whales and up to 50 fin whales in what Japan's Fisheries Agency says is its largest-ever scientific whale hunt. The expedition lasts through April. Japan says it needs to kill the animals in order to conduct research on their reproductive and feeding patterns. While scientific whale hunts are allowed by the International Whaling Commission, or IWC, critics say Japan is simply using science as a cover for commercial whaling. The anti-whaling group Greenpeace said its protest ship, Esperanza, was moored just outside Japan's territorial waters and would chase the fleet to the southern ocean. There was no immediate word Sunday of an offshore confrontation. "We are going to do everything in our power to reduce the catch" Karli Thomas, expedition leader on the Esperanza, told The Associated Press by telephone. "Japan's research program is a sham. We demand that the Japanese government cancel it." FOOTBALL Arrowhead resale prices soar Tickets to game listed on Web sites as high as $250 BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com The easiest way to quantify the hype leading up to a big game might be studying the resale price of that game's tickets. In the case of this weekend's Border Showdown between Kansas and Missouri, with tickets on eBay and StubHub you basically have a perfect storm of influences to make the game as popular as it ever has been" fetching staggering prices, it wouldn't be hyperbolic to prematurely agree with Kansas Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony, who called this a possible Pate said the game being sold out and the lack of tickets available led to the inflated resale value. The average Chiefs game in Arrowhead has more than 1,000 tickets for sale on Stubflub. As of Sunday, only 499 tickets are available on the StubHub spokesman Sean Pate said the tickets for the KU-MU game were a perfect case of supply-and-demand. "I've been in business for 19 years,and it has been a long, long time since a game has had this much interest." "A rivalry game has a demand around it, even if both teams are winless," Pate said. "You have family and tradition and everything else. When you add performance to that, and two teams in the top five, HAL WAGNER Owner Ace Sports Nationwide Tickets StubHub, which monitors ticket resale prices, has the average Kansas-Missouri ticket going for $157. Just last year, the resale price of the contest, which was in Colombia, Mo., was $69. The Web site has a "StubHub Top 25 Rivalry Rankings" index that lists the top 25 average resale price of college football games in 2007. The Jayhawk-Tiger game, as of Sunday afternoon, ranked 15 behind storied rivalries such as Ohio State-Michigan, USC-Notre Dame, UCLA-USC and Oklahoma-Texas. "game of the year" candidate. This year's figure could end up closer to $200 by Saturday — the vast majority of the game tickets currently available on StubHub are being offered for $250 or more. site for the KU- MU contest, a clear indication that most ticket holders are enthusiastic fans of the respective schools and don't intend to part with their tickets. The lack of quantity on the open market has pushed up the price of available tickets. Hal Wagner, owner of Overland Park- based AceSports and Nationwide Tickets, said the build up for the game was "unbelievable." "This is the biggest KU football game in history — ever," less, because they are thinking of KU-MU football. It is insane!" Marchiony said the Athletic Department was happy about last year's decision to change the venue of the game to Arrowhead for this year and next. "I am sure very few of us imagined that this game would mean so much," Marchiony said. "To have it actually come to fruition is gratifying. I am sure, for both programs." Marchiony said Arrowhead would provide "more of a home field advantage than not," for the Jayhawks. Kansas, technically the home team, sold slightly more than 40,000 tickets to the game and Missouri sold 17,000. The Chiefs sold the rest, about 20,000, to season ticket holders. The capacity of Arrowhead is just less than 80,000. Marchiony he expected at least half of the Chiefs season ticket holders, and possibly more, to be "I'm sure very few of us imagined that this game would mean so much." JIM MARCHIONY Associate Athletics Director Wagner said. "I've been in business 19 years, and it has been a long, long time since a game has had this much interest." Wagner said his KU-MU tickets were listed at $149 and higher at Ace Sports. "The funniest thing to me is normally at this time, we would be inundated with KU basketball orders," Wagner said. "The phenomenon of KU football has definitely made KU basketball not as hot. We are one week away from the biggest KU basketball game of the year, Kansas vs. Arizona, and it is almost like people couldn't care Jayhawk supporters. The influence of the free market was also on display on campus last week. Before the ticket office at Allen Fieldhouse opened on Monday morning to distribute student tickets to the game, people at the front of the line, some of whom had shown up on in the wee hours of Sunday morning and spent two nights under the stars in tents, were offered hundreds of dollars to take other student's KUIDs to the window. Marchiony said the system for ticket distribution, which had set an arbitrary number of allowing each student to take 10 KUIDs to the window, would be under review by the Athletic Department.

NOVEMBER 19:2007 IMMIGRATION Prominent couple faces Thanksgiving deportation threat BY GENARO C. ARMAS ASSOCIATED PRESS STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Immigrants Pedro and Salvacion Servano have been model U.S. residents since arriving from the Philippines in the 1980s. Pedro Servano, 54, is a prominent family doctor in an underserved area of central Pennsylvania. His 51-year-old wife runs a grocery store and bakery. CHRISTMAS MIDNIGHT MASS But a change in their marital status Dr Pedro Servano, center, and his wife Salvation Servano, center left, hug friends who came out to a vigil held at Cameron Park in Sunbury, Pa. Saturday evening in support of the doctor and his family. The Servano's face deportation to their native Philippines unless their lawyers can salvage their 17-year-long immigration law with last-ditch legal and political appeals. Burden change during their visa application process more than two decades ago has come back to haunt them, and now, they are facing possible deportation back to the Philippines. The couple have been told to report Salvacion Servano said in a telephone interview. "We've been here for 25 years. This is our home." to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office the day after Thanksgiving for the start of deportation proceedings, agency spokesman Michael Gilhoody said Friday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Their attorney, Gregg Cotler, is devising a flurry of last-ditch legal and political appeals to allow them to remain in Selsinggrove, about 100 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Their difficulties can be traced back to 1978 when, while both were single, their mothers applied for visas for them to come to the United States. "We love this country, and this is our American dream to be here," "We love this country, and it is our American dream to be here. We've been here for 25 years. This is our home." SALVACION SERVANO Filipino immigrant The couple married in the Philippines in 1980, and two years later, Salvacion Servano's visa was granted and she left the country. Pedro Servano followed in 1984 after getting his visa, and the couple moved of lying and misrepresenting then marital status, and the deportation process began, Cotler said. to Philadelphia. "I guess it's an honest mistake," Salvacion Servano said. "It's not premeditated." The Servanos applied for U.S. citizenship while living in San Diego in 1990, but an immigration official noticed during an interview that their visa application listed them as single. They were accused The Servanos went about their lives as they filed appeals. They moved back to Philadelphia in 1992 before settling in Selinsgrove three years later. Pedro Servano works at Geisinger Medical Group in Selinsgrove, where he has about 2,000 patients. Two of their four children graduated from Temple University, while one is in high school and another is in middle school. "They had an error on their visas when they first came here," said Terry Specht, Sunbury's city clerk, who frequents the store. "It's ridiculous to think they would lie about that." Several years ago, the Servanos bought and renovated two properties in nearby Sunbury, Salvacion Servano recently opened a small grocery store there, selling Asian goods and baked items. But their appeals have been unsuccessful and appear to have run their course. "It was a surprise to us," Pedro Servano said. "After that, it was as if a ton of bricks had fallen on our family." The Servanos turned to Cotler after receiving notice earlier this month that they had to report to the immigration enforcement office. Gilholoy declined to discuss the specifics of the case, citing ICE policy. "They have appeals." Cotter hopes otherwise. His legal team is considering emergency appeals in court and directly to the "They had an error on their visas when they first came here.It's ridiculous to think they would lie about it."

They pose no threat," DHS counterterrorism operative Bill Schweigart wrote in a letter obtained by The Daily Item of Sunbury.

WORLD Hezbollah begins rebuilding Beirut with donated funds Western-backed Prime Minister Fuad Saniora's government has been distributing the funds as compensation to families whose homes were destroyed by Israeli bombardment so they can build anew. BY BASSEM MROUE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT, Lebanon — The Shiite Muslim militant group Hezbollah has launched a massive project to rebuild south Beirut, devastated in last year's war with Israel — and it's paying for much of the construction with international donor funds that were meant to strengthen its top rival, the Lebanese government. But in south Beirut, long a Hezbollah stronghold, most of the families have promised to give their compensation — about $53,000 each — to the militant group to redevelop the devastated area in an ambitious sent any reconstruction aid, waiting for a damage assessment by officials from the U.N., World Bank and Lebanese government, said Christiane Hohmann, a European Commission spokeswoman. "If this project succeeds, it will give credit to Hezbollah on a political as well as a popular level." plan likely to bolster Hezbollah's standing. It does not appear money from the United States and the European Union was ending up in the hands of Hezbollah, an ally of Iran and Syria which is considered a terrorist organization by Washington. Al-Jack said the American and EU donations — about $140 million and $110 million promised, respectively — were not earmarked for family compensation but for infrastructure and technical help. The high-profile campaign to rebuild south Beirut gives Hezbollah a political boost in its yearlong power struggle with Saniora's government. Since the 34-day war between Hezbollah and Israel ended in summer 2006 — leaving swaths of south Beirut and many towns and villages in southern Lebanon in ruins from Israeli bombardment — the two sides have competed to show who can do the most for The money going into the government's family compensation program comes mainly from Islamic and Arab nations, chief among them Saudi Arabia — a strong supporter of Saniora and opponent of Hezbollah — which has given $570 million, said Sanaa al-Jack, government spokeswoman for relief and reconstruction projects. ADNAN SAYYED HUSSEIN Professor, Lebanese University Asked if U.S. money could be going to Hezbollah's rebuilding project, a U.S. Embassy official in Beirut said, "I would doubt it." The official, who insisted on anonymity under embassy rules, said U.S. funds were given for specific projects and would be carefully monitored. The European Union has not yet "If this project succeeds, it will give credit to Hezbollah on a political as well as a popular level." Adnan Sayyed Hussein, a professor of international relations at Beirut's the Lebanese people. The $370 million campaign — Lebanon's biggest construction project since downtown Beirut was rebuilt in the 1990s following the country's 15-year civil war — is being planned and directed by "Waad," a branch of Hezbollah. It aims to transform the district, home to hundreds of thousands of people, mainly Shiite Muslims. Work in the Beirut district known as Dahiyeh began over the summer. Hezbollah banners at dozens of construction sites across the area proclaim, "We will build it nicer than it was," as thousands of workers lay foundations for new apartment buildings. A Saudi Foreign Ministry official said his country has "nothing to do with how the government distributes the money". The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. Lebanese University, said of the south Beirut reconstruction. Al-Jack said the Lebanese government was aware that south Beirut families were giving their compensation to Hezbollah but refused to comment further. families to rebuild 213 of the district's 300 destroyed buildings, including 3,700 units in apartment buildings as well as shops, offices, warehouses and schools, said Hassan Jishi, Waad's general manager. It also will improve roads and build parking lots and gardens. The remaining 87 destroyed buildings are being rebuilt by individual owners who decided not to participate with Waad. Waad has been contracted by One Dahiyeh resident, Ahmad Khalil, said the residents of his ninestory apartment building voted on whether to give their money to Waad to rebuild their home, which was destroyed along with the nearby Hezbollah's headquarters complex. Two-thirds of the families voted for Waad, so all went along with the decision. The name "Waad" — Arabic for "Promise" — refers to a television address made by Hezbollah's leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah hours after the war ended on Aug. 14, 2006. Nasrallah declared victory and promised Hezbollah would help the Lebanese rebuild, saying, "Completing the victory can be done with reconstruction." Any costs not covered by the families' compensation money will be paid by Hezbollah's main construction arm, which is also renovating hundreds of damaged buildings in Dahiyeh, Jishi said. Hezbollah is known to have received billions of dollars from Iran since its founding in the 1980s. "Our building was destroyed because Hezbollah's headquarters were close to us, so for sure they (Hezbollah) will rebuild," said Khalili, a 42-year-old father of two who has been renting an apartment elsewhere in Beirut, using money given by Hezbollah. As an AP reporter and photographer toured Dahiyeh recently, builders and architects were seen working at construction sites under close watch of Hezbollah members. A Hezbollah representative accompanied the journalists, since the militant group has restricted the media from going into the area without its permission. Immediately after the war, Hezbollah gave every family whose home was destroyed $12,000 to rent an apartment until their homes were rebuilt. WORLD Tech waste piles up in China BY CHRISTOPHER BODEEN ASSOCIATED PRESS GUIYU, China — The air smells acrid from the squat gas burners that sit outside homes, melting wires to recover copper and cooking computer motherboards to release gold. Migrant workers in filthy clothes smash picture tubes by hand to recover glass and electronic parts, releasing as much as 6.5 pounds of lead dust. For five years, environmentalists and the media have highlighted the danger to Chinese workers who dismantle much of the world's junked electronics. Yet a visit to this southeastern Chinese town regarded as the heartland of "e-waste" disposal shows little has improved. In fact, the problem is growing worse because of China's own contribution. China now produces more than 1 million tons of e-waste each year, said Jamie Choi, a toxics campaigner with Greenpeace China in Beijing. That adds up to roughly 5 million television sets, 4 million fridges, 5 million washing machines, 10 million mobile phones and 5 million personal computers, according to Choi. "Most e-waste in China comes from overseas, but the amount of domestic e-waste on the rise," he said. This ugly business is driven by pure economics. For the West, where safety rules drive up the cost of disposal, it's as much as 10 times cheaper to export the waste to developing countries. In China, poor migrants from the countryside willingly endure the health risks to earn a few yuan, exploited by profit-hungry entrepreneurs. International agreements and European regulations have made a dent in the export of old electronics to China, but loopholes — and sometimes bribes—allow many to skirt the requirements. And only a sliver of the electronics sold get returned to manufacturers such as Dell and Hewlett Packard for safe recycling. Upwards of 90 percent ends up in dumps that observe no environmental standards, where shredders, open fires, acid baths and broilers are used to recover gold, silver, copper and other valuable metals while spewing toxic fumes and runoff into the nation's skies and rivers. Accurate figures about the shady and unregulated trade are hard to come by. However, experts agree that it is overwhelmingly a problem of the developing world. They estimate about 70 percent of the 20-50 million tons of electronic waste produced globally each year is dumped in China, with most of the rest going to India and poor African nations.

THE BALCONY IS A WONDERFUL THING. Steven Levy MOVIES 'Beowulf' tops box office in weekend debut BY GARY GENTILE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — The animated telling of Beowulf, who rids a Danish kingdom of the feared beast Grendel, slew the box office over the weekend and gave a huge boost to 3-D films in the process. The Paramount Pictures release earned $28.1 million in its opening weekend — 40 percent of which came from special 3-D showings in regular theaters and on IMAX screens. Theater owners were able to charge about $2 extra for the 3-D showing. The film did $8 million in ticket sales on 638 screens equipped with technology from RealD, which uses a special reflective screen and polarized lens glasses that moviegoers can take as a souvenir. The film also sold $3.6 million worth of tickets on 84 IMAX screens showing the film using their own 3-D technology. "Twenty percent of the screens produced 40 percent of the gross." Paramount general sales manager Don Harris said Sunday. The film, directed by Robert Zemeckis, used performance-cap ture technology to render lifelike images of its stars Ray Winstone and Angelina Jolie. "If this isn't a mandate on the popularity and viability of 3-D, I don't know what is," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. Studios are planning even more animated and live actions films in 3-D as they try to lure audiences back into multiplexes. This week's top 12 films grossed 29 percent less than the top 12 in the same weekend last year. Ticket sales were also off 3 percent from last week. Attendance has been down eight of the past nine weekends according to Media By Numbers. The animated family film "Bee Movie," written by Jerry Seinfeld, had the second-highest gross of the weekend with $14.3 million in ticket sales, bringing its total after three weeks to $98.8 million. But studio officials said Sunday that they expected a slate of family films to gain steam during the extended Thanksgiving holiday and into December. The release by DreamWorks Animation has been hovering in the top two spots at the box office since The fantasy tale "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium," from 20th Century Fox, opened in fifth place with $10 million. The movie stars Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman in a story of an eccentric who owns a toy store with a life of its own. it opened. The other film opening over the weekend, "Love in the Time of Cholera," from New Line, debuted in 10th place with $1.9 million. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC.: 1. "Beowulf," $28.1 million. 7. "No Country for Old Men," $3 million. 6. "Dan in Real Life," $4.5 million. 3. "American Gangster," $13.2 million. 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. 8. "Lions for Lambs," $3 million. 》 HOROSCOPES 5.

Wow, you were wasted last night, and making a fool! I think we need to take up a collection to get glasses for the refs from Saturday's game 6:45 a.m., and I just pulled an all-nighter for no other reason than a bad case of insomnia. Free for all, will you prescribe me some drugs? I wonder if Mangino can deter the No. 2 ranking. The way things have gone this season, we're better off not being ranked No.2! Man, I'm surfing the Internet at midnight on a Saturday night. I need to turn off my computer and find some new friends! Why can't things go back to the way they were with us and the whole group? I'm waiting for you to call me. My Bio 150 TA is the only reason I didn't drop that class. Man he sexy! Can I have your baby? I am the only single student living in this apartment complex building. Damn, life sucks. Why can't I just be with the guy I want? Why do things have to be so complicated? Amazing at football for beating ISU? We're no more amazing than we were yesterday.

College life demands collegiate ride The last step in gaining independence comes not from the books or any classes, but from owning that one, perfect car I'm looking to buy a car. I'm not really worried about cost or reliability or even practicality. Those are the concerns of the middle-aged. Right now, I'm 19 and willing to pay for that last leg of independence, that ability to move without having to coordinate with city busses or my friends' schedule. The question is, what kind of car and, of course, how much am I willing to pay? With no real answer to either question, I ask around and most of my friends tell me the same thing: Honda. Acura. Toyota. Mitsubishis are nice. I have this reply I've been working on that goes something like: "If I'm going to be spending a considerable amount of money on something, I want to really, really like what I'm buying." I understand the practicality of the aforementioned makes and models, but I'd really like my shot at driving something that isn't parked in every third spot. So, I looked into a 1982 Chevrolet El Camino online with these specs, verbatim: - "65.000 MILES • New Tires • Mint Condition • Drives Smooth Like Butter • Moonroof • CD For a minute, I can almost see the car/truck combo driving down its Spanish namesake like a stick of butter sliding down the dinner table. The price is a little steep, though. Almost eight grand for a car that is as old as I am with as many miles as my parents will doubtlessly have worries, questions and objections. And as sort of a side note here, my bank account isn't exactly prepared to back this kind of spending. Maybe I can appeal to my father. After all, he was the one who had a Mustang and a Volkswagen when he was my age. Maybe he will provide a little sympathy and monetary support, especially after watching me drive a metallic purple station wagon through high school. Thanks dad. You made high school easy. I'm sure I'll have no problem convincing you to help me out. With the finances taken care, I think I'll start bidding. I show my friends the car I've had my eye on and most are supportive. Except one. "But Whitney had one, didn't she?" Max says. And as quickly as this dream was becoming reality, Max's observations send it that much faster into history. My other friends start to reminisce about Whitney's car. Her engine made this sound like a well placed bowling ball down the lane, a loud thud and a slow rolling, while mine was more of a smoker's cough from watching the guys play too many frames. BRYAN DYKMAN No way can buy it I can buy it now. No way. I think I'll save the eight grand and not risk anyone thinking that this car is an attempt to live vicariously through someone I knew briefly in high school. So much for the El Camino. If it's any consolation, her car did brake down the summer after we graduated—broke down for good. As far as I know, it's still sitting in her driveway, looking for a new engine. After my dad finds all this out, he'll most likely withdraw his support. I have certainly built a good case for him, but here I am, convincing myself that it's still a good idea to consider this car, as long as there are Ebay pages to view. purple? Is it gold? You got it! it's all three!" Wow. It was a bad ad, trying to sell an ugly car that wants to be a truck. And on top of all that, it's blue and gold and purple. It turns heads because while it may drive smooth like butter, it looks like vomit. This car model never ceases to amaze me. If ever pressed to say what I've learned while being at KU, I've learned about this feeling called "being in college" that, right next to your gut and conscience, ways heavily in your decision making. It's not something typical or only present on Friday night. And despite the words of my friends or my parents, this ugly little car somehow fits right in with "being in college." I imagine my dad felt something very similar to it when he purchased or as my mom says, his parents purchased) his mustang. It's a good, reliable feeling. Personally, I can only recognize it as the feeling I didn't Page four yields something interesting: "Don't wait to get this one! It's a hot ride that really turns heads! Is it blue? Is it have when he handed me the keys to the station wagon. So the conversation I'll have with him will go something like this: He will say, "You are (1) trying to declare your independence, by (2) buying a car that you supposedly really like, that also (3) happens to be the same car Whitney owns, the same car that broke down constantly and currently fails to undertake it's primary function: It can't drive?" And I will say, "You got it. I'm trying to do all three." Dykman is a Westwood sophomore in English and is the Associate Editor of the Opinion page. GARDENING TIPS When it comes to giving, anonymity should be the trend Today, people and media are too worried about who is doing the giving and not worried enough about what was actually given Anonymity ain't what it used to be. There was a time when you couldn't spit without hitting an anonymous person. The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, were credited to Publius. The Anti-Federalist authors' pseudonyms were so good that their true identities still cannot be confirmed. Bygone ages' popular songs and stories came from unknown sources. These days anonymity is something else entirely. In keeping with the Internet's existing civility level, these modest calls for moderation were met with hyperbolic death threats typed in all capital letters. Anonymity assaults our natural voyeuristic desire. When the novel "Primary Colors" was published in 1996, media members worked tirelessly to identify author Joe Klein. And O.J. Simpson has spent more than 12 years looking for the real killer in his wife's famous murder trial. He's mostly been following a tip that the killer is somehow connected to golf. Seeking anonymity to cover poor behavior is nothing new. After all, an entire Las Vegas ad campaign centers on the idea that "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." Evidently Nevada health officials offer free STD eradication during your departing flight's pre-boarding process. What is new, however, is the lack of anonymity sought by those doing good. Most people like the idea of giving an anonymous gift because it shows humility, but w h a t good is humility if no one k n o w s about it? In the movie "Return to Me," a generous do- BRANDON T. MINSTER nor says, "I suppose she told you about the sizable donation Mrs. Bennington and I gave this year... Anonymously of course." Yankees owner George Steinbrenner is a surprisingly generous guy, but few people know because, as he told the New York Times, he follows his father's maxim: "If you do something good for somebody and more than two people know about it, you didn't do it for the right reason." If the donor resists the urge of recognition, he must contend with the recipient's urge to tell secrets. When I was a child the most maddening taunt was the sing-song, "I know something you don't know." On the surface it's a mindless truism: We ALL know something others don't. I know which of the Bristol Stool Chart's seven categories I matched this morning, but you probably don't want to know. Telling information only gains me that minute moment of fame or respect if the information satisfies your voyeurism. That is why, if the donor doesn't spill the beans on his identity, the recipient usually does. Last week word came of an anonymous $100 million donation to the Erie, Pa., Community Foundation, which distributed the money to various area charities. For now, the foundation president isn't telling the donor's identity, and recipient charities aren't asking. Which could be just what the donor wanted, or it could be driving him out of his mind. "Come on, track me down! Praise me!" Since no one is talking, for all we know the donor is me. The real donor won't contradict me and lose his anonymity, and the foundation president can't speak up without violating the donor's trust. So there you have it: I'm the anonymous Erie, Pa. donor. What's my connection to Erie? Ten years ago I was helped at a McDonald's drive-through window by a particularly pretty employee. Where'd I get all that money? Uh, oil. Mostly oil. But also a lot of it is mortgage-lender bailout money. Stop asking so many questions and just start praising me anonymously on the Internet. Minster is a Lawrence senior in Economics.

The proposed paths stretch across Bob Billingham Parkway, which becomes 15th Street at Iowa Street. editor@kansan.com BY JON GOERING Sam Owen rides his bike to and from school almost every day. And almost every day, Owen, Albequequer, N.M., junior, makes the decision whether to face the heavy traffic and narrow lanes of Bob Billings Parkway or add seven minutes to his commute by using an alternate route. Owen lives in an apartment complex west of campus near Bob Billings Parkway. The parkway, which becomes 15th Street at Iowa Street, is the most direct route to campus for Owen. But for bicyclists, riding this route is not a good option. Members of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Advisory Board discussed the need for a bike path along this stretch of the road for more than a year. For the first time in recent history, the board included the idea on its agenda. "Car traffic on that road is very heavy," Owen said. "And the lanes are really tight. Some people ride on the sidewalk or cut through grass to get to campus because riding on the road is pretty dangerous." Owen said riding on the sidewalk was illegal in some parts of the city and wasn't a good option. One side of the parkway has no sidewalk at all. He said if seven minutes was the difference between being late for class or not, it was a tempting option to take. Owen said this made it a dangerous situation for pedestrians as well. our students to pedestrians as well. Kelly Barth, chairwoman of the advisory board, supports the idea of a bike path along the parkway. She said she thought improving the city's bike path system made sense for other reasons, too. "We are living in a time where the supply of cheap fossil fuels is reaching the end," Barth said. "The sooner people start incorporating non-motorized forms of travel, the better we'll all be." "It seems a bit counter-intuitive, seeing as we make our money off of parking permits." Hultine said. "But we aren't planning on building any more parking options. I am supportive of lots of options for students to get to campus." Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit at the University, saw a third reason to improve bike access to the KU campus. Hultine and Barth said a number of obstacles stood in the way of turning the idea into a reality. Barth said making Lawrence friendlier for walking and biking had long been a priority for city officials. She said she wasn't sure how high this type of project would rank on the city's priority list, especially now. "The city has expressed they are in a financial bind," Barth said. "We have to look at what is most important and do that first." Bill Penny, a member of the advisory board, said he hoped University officials would be willing to donate part of the land they owned on the south side of the street to make room for the bike path. Jim Modig, director of design and construction management at the University, said the city suggested a plan for a proposed bike path along the south side of the parkway to the Design and Construction Management Department a couple of years ago. But a few physical obstacles along the path increased the cost of installing the path. The initial budget didn't reflect these extra costs. "Some of the details weren't thought all the way out," Modig said. "But it is really more of a funding issue than anything else." Modig said he and his staff suggested the city take the plan back to the drawing board. And he never heard anything about it again. Penny said he hoped the board was taking the first steps toward regaining support for the plan by adding it to the agenda. Owen said he hoped to have a safe route to ride his bike to and from school. "I think it would be great." Owen said. "There are a lot of students who live in these apartments. I think it would be very heavily used." - Edited by Meghan Murphy Girls challenge stereotypes 》 GENDER ISSUES BY RAFIQ MAQBOOL Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan — A group of teenage girls is taking up fistcuffs to challenge Afghanistan's gender barriers. "Move, move, move," coach Saber Sharifi shouted as the 20-odd girls sparred recently. "Steady, watch your left shoulder." Shabnam, 15, said, who uses only one name. "But I think if you are in doing something, you should avoid listening to what people think about you. Sports is a way out of violence for Afghanistan." "Many people are trying to stop us from participating in sports by saying it is not good for women." The boxers belong to a new generation of Afghan youth, challenging stereotypes that persist five years after the fall of the Taliban. They train in a room in Kabul's main sports stadium, a venue for public executions during Taliban rule in the late 1990s. Boxing is helping them gain confidence and self-respect, the girls say. Their goal: to be Afghanistan's first women's boxing team. The girls — who also include Shabnam's sisters, Fatima, 17 and Sadaf, 14 — practice separately from boys and wear warm-up suits. Some cover their heads with scarves or bandanas. Their effort is a brave one in this male-dominated country, where females start wearing the powder blue burge, which covers them from head to toe, in public at puberty. "The neighbors do not know about the girls' training yet, but we fully support them," their mother, Salima Rahimi, said. The family saw a women's boxing match on TV one evening, she said. "I want to become like Laila Ali," Shabnam shouted, referring to boxing great Muhammad Ali's daughter. "I want to become the world's female boxing champion." The girls practice three times a week, and Sharifi wants to hold matches by year-end. He has seen "tremendous improvement" in their skills, he said, but hopes for better equipment such as headgear, mouth protectors and quality gloves. "If the international community is serious about helping Afghanistan transform itself, then here is the chance for someone to come forward and help these girls realize their dreams," he said. "We need to visit other teams and have other teams visit us, because if they don't get enough exposure and matches, then no amount of training in this gym is going to help. "We don't even have a boxing ring yet," he said. 》 NATURAL DISASTER District officials compile the figures, which are far from precise, based on reports from police, public hospitals, military officials, relief workers and aid agencies, Mohammad Golam Mostafa of the Disaster Management Ministry, said. Storm kills 2,300; relief efforts continue The Bangladesh Red Crescent Society, the Islamic equivalent of the Red Cross, said that it believed the toll could hit 10,000 once rescuers reach islands off the coast of the low-lying river delta nation. Teams from international aid organizations worked with army troops in a massive rescue effort that drew help from around the world. Rescue workers cleared roofs of fallen trees and twisted roofs to reach remote villages, but tents, rice, water and other relief items were slow to arrive. Hungry survivors, thousands of whom were left homeless, scrambled for food. BARGUNA, Bangladesh — The death toll from Bangladesh's most devastating storm in a decade climbed to at least 2,300 on Sunday and relief officials warned the figure could jump sharply as rescuers reach more isolated areas. The death toll rose as officials made contact with coastal regions cut off by the storm, Selina Shahid Mohammad Abdur Rob, chairman of the society, said the estimate came from the assessments of thousands of volunteers taking part in the rescue operations across the battered region. "We have seen more bodies floating in the sea," Zakir Hossain. of the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management, said. a fisherman from the country's southwest said, after reaching shore with two decomposing bodies he and other fishermen had found. Squatting in a muddy field with his wife, 45-year-old farmer Asad Ali said their their 5-year-old daughter, the couple's only child, had been fatally crushed beneath their toppled thatched hat in Barguna, one of the hardest-hit districts. He said a helicopter had dropped packages of food but he had received little assistance. Mobs swarm below the helicopters every time one is spotted. "I've been here waiting for hours for something to eat," he said. "What I've got so far are a few cookies. Not enough."

The Kansas offense gained 566 total yards in the 45-7 victory. The 11-0 Jayhawks play Missouri Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas earns school-record 11th victory by staying focused on Iowa State in 45-7 blowout BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com All week long, media and fans treated Kansas' matchup against Iowa State as an afterthought during the build-up to next weekend's showdown with Missouri. Saturday afternoon, the Jayhawks proved they nut in plenty of time. they put in plenty of time preparing for the game everyone else overlooked The Jayhawks' 45-7 dismantling of Iowa State (3-9, 2-6 Big 12) lifted the team to a school-best 11-0 record and ensured that the team would battle Missouri next weekend with a spot in the Big 12 Championship on the line. The victory, coupled with Oregon's and Oklahoma's losses, pushed the Jayhawks to second in the AP poll, the coaches' poll and the BCS Standings, meaning the team controls its own destiny: If Kansas wins the rest of its games, it will play for the National Championship in New Orleans. Kansas (11-0, 7-0 Big 12) outplayed Iowa State in every facet of the game as sophomore quarterback Todd Reeing added another brilliant chapter to an already-sparkling season. “It's really a great deal when you force a team to throw the ball and you know what they're going to do. You can really turn up the heat on the passer." Reesing completed 17 of his 18 first-half pass attempts and finished the game 21-of-26 with 253 yards and four touchdowns. Reesing avoided throwing an interception JOHN LARSON Junior defensive end "It wasn't bad," Reesing said. "Things were clicking well, and we were moving the ball. I think we had four consecutive scoring drives, so it was good to get things rolling like that in the first half." for the sixth consecutive game, stretching his interceptionless streak to 205 pass attempts. After struggling through a three-and-out on its first possession, the KU offense picked up the pace on its next drive. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson covered 25 yards on three carries and Reesing completed all four of his passes as Kansas marched 82 yards, scoring on a 17-yard touchdown reception by junior wide receiver Dexton Fields. The lajhawks first score looked simple enough. Fields caught the ball near the line of scrimmage and jogged 17 yards down the sideline and into the end zone. But Fields would have been stopped short if not for a sensational block by freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe. As Fields reeled in the pass and headed for the goal line, Briscoe tucked his hands under Iowa State cornerback Chris Singleton's shoulder pads and drove the smaller defender out of Fields' path. Briscoe's outstanding block was one of many the Kansas wide receivers provided Saturday "Our receivers have been doing an excellent job blocking." McAnderson said. "It's not about one man just outrunning everybody — definitely not with me — so our wide-outs have to get on their blocks, cover their man and get them out of the way." afternoon. On several occasions, Heids returned the favor by bulldozing Iowa State cornerbacks and safeties to clear the way for teammates. The Jayhawks' wide receivers' ability to contain Cyclone defenders downfield helped the team pick up 212 rushing yards. The Kansas offense fired on all cylinders for the entire first half. After Iowa State "It's real easy to find guys open in the pass game when the defense is worried about the running game." TODD REESING Sophomore quarterback punted on its second possession, the Jayhawks put together an 80-yard drive that ticked just more than two minutes off the game clock. Reesing connected with Fields three times on the possession, including on a 16-yard touchdown pass that gave Kansas a 14-0 lead with 1:57 remaining in the first quarter. After senior safety Sadiq Muhammed intercepted a pass from Iowa State quarterback Austen Arnaud, Reeing calmly led the offense on another long scoring drive. McAnderson and sophomore running back SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 4B BCS watch Kansas ranking highest ever With its 11th straight victory, Kansas has become the highest-ranked team in school history. The Jayhawks are ranked No. 2 in the BCS Standings and the AP, Coaches and Harris polls. In the polls, the team passed Oklahoma, which lost at Texas Tech, and Oregon, which lost at Arizona. In the BCS, Kansas moved past Oregon from third to second. The biggest surprise in the standings could be West Virginia leapfrogging Missouri for the No. 3 spot in the BCS Ranks. Oklahoma's loss dented Missouri's strength of schedule enough to pull the Tigers out of the third spot.

Asher Fusco MEN'S BASKETBALL Hawks prepare for stronger opponents BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Brandon Rush's eagerness wasn't the only reason he wanted to start playing again Thursday against Washburn. He has another one: Rush, a junior guard, needs an easy game before the schedule starts getting tougher, such as Wednesday's game against Northern Arizona. "I don't want to start off against those guys," he said. "It'll be good to play them, but I'd like to play before then just so I could get warmed up before the big games." Southern California on Dec. 2. Northern Arizona barely lost to Arizona and is expected to contend for its conference title. The Wildcats and the Trojans were both top 25 teams before losing early home games. Along with Northern Arizona, the upcoming tougher games include Arizona on Sunday and "We have to go for it, and sometimes we miss, sometimes we get it. He just wants us to be more solid." games against Louisiana Monroe, UMKC and Washburn count the same as those against any top 25 team. Now, as the games become more difficult. Kansas coach Bill Self expects the team to get more intense. "As much as we want our guys to be at that magic level every game, I can't understand It's not that Kansas didn't care about the first few games of the schedule. In the long run, the MARIO CHALMERS Junior guard Nature can only take them so far. There's a few aspects of the game Kansas needs to start working on, mainly defense. The layhawks have still been forcing turnovers like they why, for the most part, we appear not to be sometimes." Self said. "I know that there's another gear by competition that will ratchet things up naturally for us" did last year, but they can't stop opponents from scoring. Louisiana Monroe shot 51 percent for the game in the season opener. UMKC shot 50 percent in the first half a week ago. If the defense forces less turnovers, it could mean it's doing a better job tightly defending opponents and making them shoot bad shots. Self said the Jayhawks also needed to eliminate mental mistakes. During the opening minutes of Kansas' victory against Washburn Thursday, senior center Sasha Kaun fouled someone 75 feet away from the basket. Chalmers and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur missed multiple dunks against UMKC. "He doesn't want us to gamble at all sometimes," Chalmers said about Self's instruction. "We have to go for it, and sometimes we miss, sometimes we get it. He just wants us to be more solid." Those mistakes didn't make a difference against UMKC or Washburn, but they will against Arizona and USC. "We have to tighten things up." Self said.

NCAA FOOTBALL Wolverine coach to announce retirement BY LARRY LAGE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan coach Lloyd Carr will retire Monday after 13 seasons, ending an era marked by highs of winning a national championship and five Big Ten titles and lows of losing to Ohio State and FCS opponent Appalachian State. Carr told The Associated Press of his decision Sunday by phone, saying he wouldn't comment further until a Monday morning news conference at the school. The 62-year-old coach informed his players and staff of his retirement Sunday during a team meeting at Schembechler Hall. "It's a hard thing to deal with," safety Jamar Adams said.

NOV. 19, 1960, COLUMBIA, MO. It's only fitting that Kansas meets Missouri on the final day of the regular season to cap the beginning of that era. But unlike so many other meetings in the Border Showdown, this time there are more than bragging rights on the line. THE NEW NO.1? Missouri entered the 69th meeting between the two foes with only one defeat while being ranked as high as ninth during the course of the season. The game lived up to the sizable expectations. The third-ranked Jayhawks narrowly escaped 21-19 to earn a share of the Big Eight conference championship and a place in Florida where they would meet Joe Paterno led Penn State on New Year's Day. It's a position layawk fans aren't accustomed to. Students camped out in the cold for tickets that weren't for basketball. Mark Mangino, Reesing and Aqib Talib all have legitimate chances to win national awards. It is truly a new era in Lawrence. Despite losing controversially 15-14 to the Nittany Lions, the Jayhawks finished the season ranked No. 6 in the country. Missouri bounced back from the loss to beat "Bear" Bryant's Alabama team 35-10 in the Gator Bowl. This weekend's clash at Arrowhead stadium easily tops all three. Kansas rose to No. 2 in the nation behind LSU with Missouri nipping at its heels. The winner will receive a trip to the Big 12 championship game and will assume pole position for the opportunity to play for the National Championship. Rangers to Canter Rave. The Jayhawks were led by All-American quarterback Bobby Douglass and defensive end John Zook while a young John Riggins bruised opposing defenses on the ground. Kansas rode the trio to eight victories and one defeat before arriving in Columbia with a second chance to earn a place in the Orange Bowl.

Jack Mitchell's team had already faced two top-ranked opponents in Syracuse and Iowa before traveling to then-No. 1 Missouri. Kansas came up short against Syracuse and Iowa, but still arrived in Columbia, Mo., with a chance to represent the Big Eight conference in Miami with a victory. under second-year coach Pepper Rodgers to exact revenge. Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, recruiting violations meant they were forced to forfeit the game and miss postseason play while the Tigers took their spot in Florida. The result still remains in dispute as Kansas claims a victory, and therefore a 54-2-9 edge all-time, while Missouri contends the teams have 53 wins apiece to go with nine ties. Eight years after missing out on a chance to play in its first Orange Bowl. Kansas returned to Missouri Kansas faced an undefeated Missouri team that had romped its way through its first nine games with convincing victories against Oklahoma, Nebraska and Penn State. None of that mattered as Kansas won 23-7 to seemingly book a trip to the sunshine state.

Henry had four receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown Saturday. Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Jake Sharp also helped the cause, combining for 19 yards on four carries and providing just enough of a threat to keep the Iowa State defense guessing. "It's real easy to find guys open in the pass game when the defense is worried about the running game," Reesing said. "To have Jake and Brandon back there running well and the offensive line creating holes definitely alleviates my job in the passing game. Having that balanced attack is something we've relied on all season and something that works pretty well." By the middle of the second quarter, Kansas was cruising. The defense had allowed just 42 total yards in the first quarter and had already forced one turnover. When Iowa State engineered a 79-yard scoring drive, which included 40 yards off Kansas penalties, near the end of the second quarter, it would be the last score yielded by the Kansas defense. After the touchdown run, Iowa State had eight more chances to score. Six of those drives ended with punts, one with a turnover on downs and one with the game's finish. The Kansas secondary was missing usual starters Kendrick Harper, junior cornerback, and Patrick Resby, junior cornerback, because of injuries. But freshman cornerback Chris Harris and sophomore safety Justin Thornton filled in without missing a beat. Harris made a team-high 11 tackles, and Thornton contributed three. The entire pass defense stood strong Saturday afternoon, giving up only 182 passing yards and holding the Cyclones to 4.2 yards per pass attempt. The run defense also lived up to its reputation as one of the nation's finest. Senior defensive tackle James McClinton stuffed the Iowa State run game at the line of scrimmage, allowing junior linebackers Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen to roam "It's impressive how gap-sound we can be sometimes," junior defensive end John Larson said. "It's really a great deal when you force a team to throw the ball and you know what they're going to do. You can really turn up the heat on the passer." free in the backfield. Rivera and Mortensen combined to make 12 tackles and three tackles-for-loss. Iowa State gained just 52 yards on the ground and averaged two yards per carry. By the end of the third quarter, the outcome of the game was no longer in question. Trailing 31-7, Iowa State had not shown any life since its scoring drive in the middle of the second quarter. The Jayhawks used the fourth quarter to run out the clock and put their less-experienced players on the field. Sophomore running back Angus Quigley picked up 34 rushing yards and scored his second touchdown of the season, and freshman wide receiver Johnathan Wilson caught a 36-yard pass. Sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier relieved Reesing "He had another great night out," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "He had good protection, and the receivers and tight ends ran good in the final quarter, by which time the jayhawk's starter had provided plenty of support for his Heisman Trophy candidacy. routes that gave him a chance to find holes in the coverage" Kansas did what it was supposed to do Saturday afternoon — roll over a helpless Iowa State squad. In the process, the Jayhawks did what no Kansas team ever has — win 11 games. All season long, Mangino has touted the team's "one game at a time" approach. Turns out there might just be something to that mindset.

ISU seniors leave with a whimper /KANSAN kle rm to BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com The mood on the two sidelines couldn't have been more different after Kansas ended Iowa State's season with a 45-7 victory. While Kansas coach Mark Mangino discussed the endless possibilities ahead of the Jayhawks, Iowa State coach Gene Chikiz was forced to reflect on a 3-9 season. "We had a hard year, a lot of ups and a lot of downs. We wish the seniors well." Chizik said. "We appreciate what they did but we have to go back to work with all of the guys that are returning and obviously put out a lot better product on the field than we did this year." But it's especially hard for Chizik to say goodbye to this class of seniors because of what it has meant to the ISU program. Quarterback Bret Meyer holds the school record for career passing yards, wide receiver Todd Blythe holds the school record for career receiving yards and linebacker Alvin Bowen led the nation in tackles last season. But Meyer, Blythe and Bowen all finished their collegiate careers at Memorial Stadium quietly. The Jayhawks made sure the three staples of Cyclone football didn't make too much of an impact. Kansas junior quarterback Aqib Talib blanketed Blythe the all game and held him to two receptions for only twenty yards. Bowen only managed five tackles because of the speed of the Kansas offense. Meyer found himself the constant target of blitzes from Kansas junior linebackers Joe Mortensen and Mike Rivera and unable to rally the Cyclones. "It's emotional but at the same time, I've had fun," Meyer said. "I was able to start 48 straight games. I can't really complain about too much, win or lose, whatever." Chizik doesn't comply with one passive approach of his starting quarterback. He's determined to turn the Iowa State football program around next year with the young talent he began to rely on this season. said. "They are very good on defense and everything they do is very sound and physical." Freshman running back Alexander Robinson tops that list. Robinson led a late-season turnaround for the Cyclones by averaging 112 rushing yards since taking over as the starter three weeks ago. three games and looks to be Meyer's successor. Robinson isn't the only freshman the Cyclones plan to rely on heading into the off-season. Freshmen quarterback Austen Arnaud started to receive playing time in the last "We could have had the Big Bad Wolf back there running the ball and it wouldn't have mattered." Chizik But Robinson found no room against the Jayhawks. Rivera, Mortensen and the rest of the Kansas defense held him to 54 yards on 20 carries. Chizik said that Robinson's difficulties didn't deter the fact that he was the future of the program. Sophomore linebacker Jesse Smith, who averaged seven tackles per game this season, said he was ready to become the leader of the defense. Smith recorded nine tackles and was one of the only players to hold the Jayhawk running game in check. Meyer said the Cyclones would look different next year without their three captains but he felt comfortable passing the torch. "We've got some big young leaders." Meyer said. "I think we'll be alright now that us three and the other Edited by Luke Morris View from press row It was over when... Kansas forced Iowa State to punt twice in a row after halftime. Trailing by 21 points at the half, the Cyclones might have had a chance at a comeback had they scored early in the third quarter, but the Kansas defense held Iowa State to 25 yards on its first two possessions. Kansas' defensive fortitude forced two punts and underlined the fact that Kansas was the much better team. Game to remember... Dexton Fields, Sure, Todd Reesing pushed himself further into the Heisman race with another brilliant performance, but he had to throw the ball to someone. That someone was usually Fields, junior wide receiver. Fields tied a Kansas single-game record with 11 catches and gained 109 receiving yards with two touchdowns. Game to forget... Alexander Robinson. Iowa State's freshman running back touched the ball 26 times on Saturday afternoon and gained just 69 yards. The Kansas run defense held the 181-pound Alexander to just 2.7 yards per carry and the Jayhawk linebackers held him to 15 receiving yards. Stat of the game... 85.7. Kansas quarterbacks Todd Reesing and Kerry Meier combined to complete 85.7 percent of their passes against the porous Iowa State defense. Reesing completed all but one of his 18 first half passes before handing Meier the reins after three quarters. Meier fared even better than the starter, completing all nine of his pass attempts for 101 yards and a touchdown. Asher Fusco Football notes THE INJURY BUG For the first time this season, Kansas had to deal with serious attrition due to injuries. Three of the team's starters did not play because of injuries on Saturday. On defense, junior cornerback Kendrick Harper and junior safety Patrys Resby missed the game, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Harper's injury occurred last week in practice. Resby also sat out last weekend at Oklahoma State. Freshman cornerback Chris Harris, who started the first seven games of the season, played in place of Harper and MICHAEL JOHNSON made a team-high 11 tackles. Sophomore safety Justin Thornton made three tackles in relief of Resby. On offense, left tackle Anthony Collins did not play because of a leg injury, which Mangino said was merely discomfort. Junior tackle Matt Darton filled in for Collins and held his own. Resby POINTS A PLENTY Kansas has enjoyed the luxury of playing from ahead for much of the season, a positive trend that continued Saturday. The Jayhawks jumped out to a 21-7 lead in the second quarter and led at the half for the ninth time in 11 games this season. Saturday marked the eighth time this season that the Jayhawks have scored more than 20 points in a first half. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing's performance had a lot to do with the offensive explosion. He completed 94 percent of his throws and threw four touchdowns before the half. The announced attendance at Saturday's game was 51,050, the second consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium. This season's average home attendance was 46,498, setting a new record for average attendance. Kansas broke its average attendance record in each of the past three seasons. Most of the Kansas fans stuck around through the third quarter before trickling out during an anticlimactic fourth quarter. Those who stayed through the end of the game saw a tribute video honoring the 2007 Jayhawks' 11-0 record with highlights from every game. RECORD ATTENDANCE AGAIN Senior running back Brandon McAnderson started his Kansas career as a fullback, but he's finishing it as a 1,000-yard rusher. McAnderson gained 70 rushing yards on nine carries Saturday to make himself the 12th Kansas player to rush for over 1,000 rushing yards in a season. In 11 games, McAnderson has 1,009 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on 161 carries — an average of 6.3 yards per carry. "It feels pretty good but it's not a huge deal yet. I guess after I get done playing it'll feel like a bigger deal," McAnderson said. 1,000-YARD RUSHER UNCHARACTERISTIC PENALTIES Kansas and Iowa State entered the game as the first and second least penalized teams in the nation, but Saturday's contest was anything but pretty. Iowa State lost 104 yards on 10 penalties and Kansas gave up 98 yards on nine flags. The only drive Iowa State turned into a touchdown stayed alive due in large part to Kansas penalties. On the 79-yard drive, Kansas committed three penalties: a personal foul face masking, defensive holding and a personal foul for a late hit out of bounds. The three violations gave Iowa State 39 yards and three first downs. ENTERING THE RECORD BOOKS The Jayhawks launched a vicious assault on the school record books Saturday afternoon. Senior kicker Scott Webb became Kansas's single- season scoring leader with 110 points this season. Senior tight end Derek Fine set the single-season record for receptions by a tight end, with 41. Senior wide receiver Marcus Henry's eighth touchdown reception of the season tied a school record and junior wide receiver Dexton Fields' 11 receptions tied a single-game school record. Todd Reesing broke the single-season completion record (227) and his 30th touchdown pass of the season tied him with Kentucky's Andre Woodson and Missouri's Chase Daniel for No. 1 in the NCAA this season. JONATHAN DAVIS Reesing SENIOR DAY Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer put the finishing touches on a steady, if not sensational career Saturday. The senior started his 48th consecutive and final game as a Cyclone and finished the game 16-of-28 with 103 passing yards. Meyer ranks third all-time in the Big 12 Conference in total offense and passing yards, and his 48-game consecutive start streak is the nation's longest. Some of the Kansas seniors also put together strong performances in their final home game. Marcus Henry caught four passes for 92 yards and a touchdown and Derek Fine also caught a touchdown pass. Scott Webb made his only field goal and senior punter Kyle Tucker averaged 45.2 yards per punt. TRICKY JAYHAWKS As he has a tendency to do, Kansas offensive coordinator Ed Warinner opened up the playbook and explored some new twists against Iowa State. In the first quarter, Kerry Meier started as a slot receiver and moved into the backfield before the snap. The Jayhawks ran what looked like an option play to the left sideline with Meier as the pitch man. But just as 10dd Reesing and Meier turned upfield, Reesing pitched the ball to junior wide receiver Marcus Herford who was reversing field toward the right sideline. Herford gained six yards on the play. Later in the game, the ball was spotted on the left hashmark for the Kansas offense. The Jayhawks split five wide receivers to the far left side of the field in a bizarre diamond-like formation and threw a quick screen pass to Meier. - Asher Fusco BIG POWER 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.

Despite their efforts, the Jayhawks still lost to the Cyclones in five matches, tarnishing senior day and the two players' last home game. Coach Ray Bechard called senior Caitlin Mahoney's 13-kill performance the best one of her career. Bechard called senior Emily Brown's performance of 15 kills, 29 assists and 13 digs a fitting display of her versatility. But on Saturday, the one thing Bechard couldn't call his two seniors was winners. Iowa State spoiled senior day and defeated Kansas 3-2 (20-30, 30-24, 25-30, 30-26, 17-15). Kansas fell to 12-17 and 5-14 in the Big 12 Conference, while Iowa State improved to 16-12 and 10-8 in conference play. "We desperately wanted this to be a match that they could remember in a fond way from a standpoint of being successful, and Iowa State made a few more plays in the end than we did," Bechard said. Kansas had two great opportunities to win the match. The first came in game four with Kansas leading the match two games to one. An ace from junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart gave Kansas a 10-2 lead, but the team couldn't hold on. The Cyclones slowly crept back into the game, cutting the Jayhawks' lead to 22-19 before going on a 7-0 run for a 26-22 advantage. Iowa State closed out the game and won 30-26. "They ratcheted it up defensively, and we got out of our system a little bit and got a little predictable offensively." Bechard said. Kansas had its second opportunity in the decisive game five. An ace by Brown put Kansas ahead 12- volleyball notes KANSAS SIGNS TWO Kansas coach Ray Bechard announced Friday that two players had signed national letters of intent to play volleyball at the University of Kansas in 2008-2009. Allison Mayfield, a senior at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, and Nicole Tate, senior at Lindbergh High School in St. Louis, currently make up the 2008 recruiting class. Bechard commented on Mayfield in a Kansas Athletics press release. centage while dominating game one 30-20. Iowa State responded in game two, winning 30-24, but Kansas again went ahead in the match with a 30-25 victory in game four. the type of player that is difficult to find in today's volleyball field where there is so much position specialization. "We are extremely excited to have Allison join our team," Bechard said. "She is a six-rotation player who blocks well and has great back row skills. She is Bechard also recognized Tate's talent in the press release. "Nicole has good size and good quickness as well as great leadership skills." Bechard said. "She is very comfortable with a 5-1 system and is capable of running a complex offense." But after the match, all the talk was the about Kansas' two 10, and the team needed only three more points to win the match. But Iowa State rallied again, winning game five 17-15 and clinching the match 3-2. UP NEXT "Breaks went both ways, and in the end, the ball hit the floor on our side last," Bechard said. Kansas closes out its season with a road match Wednesday against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Brown also had three aces and six blocks. Mahoney had only one error and a team-high .480 hitting percentage. Freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser equaled Brown's 15 kills "We desperately wanted this to be a match that they could remember in a fond way from a standpoint of being successful." seniors, who played their last match on the Horejsi Family Athletics Center floor. Bechard couldn't help but get a little emotional. RAY BECHARD Coach to tie for the team lead, and junior middle blocker Savannah Noyes added 11 kills. "I thought it was great that the Horejsi Center was full Kansas started Saturday's match playing some its best volleyball of the season. The Jayhawks had a .229 hitting percentage and held the Cyclones to a .125 hitting per- for an 11 o'clock match, and many of those people had a direct relationship with those two seniors, so that tells you a little about the influence they've had on the program," Bechard said.

Because the rest of the team did not qualify, Wissel will represent Wissel the university of Kansas and try to better his finish from last year. With a strong performance, Wissel could become only the fifth runner in Kansas cross country history to become a two-time All-American. Wissel competed in the event last year with the entire Kansas squad and finished 26th overall. Wissel could do even better this year. In last year's final race, the team had to overcome bad weather, but forecasters are expecting near-perfect running conditions for this year's race. Wissel will run the Indiana State University course for the seventh and final time in his career. Wissel has posted better times in his last two races than he did in last year's Championships. The event, a 10K race, is set to start at 12:50 p.m. It will be Wissel's final college cross country race, and he should go down as one of the best runners in Jayhawk history. - Tyler Passmore SINCE 1956 Jersey Mike's SUBS SINCE 1956 Jersey Mike's SUBS $2.00 off Any Regular or Giant Sub One coupon per visit, per person.

The championship weekend began Sunday afternoon at the Student Recreation Fitness Center for members of intramural floor hockey teams. After a month of games, only two teams remained in each of the tournament's divisions: men's greek, men's and co-recreational. Jon Goering/KANSAN The games began when Geochronic, the top-ranked team, and Air Force ROTC faced off in the co-recreational final. The game's intensity level was high from the moment the referee dropped the ball at middle court, but neither team could score early on. With 45 seconds remaining in the first period, Celina Suarez, San Antonio graduate student, put Geochronic up 1-0 when he slapped the ball past Air Force ROTC's goalie during a frantic scramble in front of the net. Both teams battled for possession throughout the second period, and Geochronic notched three more goals to go ahead 4-0. Just before the second period ended, Air Force ROTC finally found the back of the net when a lob pass evaded goalie Paul Kenward, Ottawa, Ontario, graduate student. Air Force ROTC scored early in the third period, but Geochronic still led 4-2 as the game neared its end. Despite taking numerous shots and maintaining possession for a good part of the final eight minutes, Air Force ROTC could not knock off the top-ranked team. "Don't forget we have a game after this," Kenward said. "So don't tire yourselves out." Geochronic, which fields a team in both the co-recreational and men's divisions, remained focused even after the game. His team took his words to heart as it went to work against A.K.Psi just minutes later in the men's division final. the championship game against Geochronic. Chris Kavanaugh, Wichita senior, said he wasn't sure his team was worthy of playing in "We were supposed to play the actual KU Club Hockey team before this," Kavanaugh said. "But they had to forfeit because they had an actual game. So that's probably the only reason we are here." Geochronic affirmed Kavanaugh's uneasiness and outworked A.K.Psi in the first period, completely dominating the time of possession. But A.K.Psi kept the score tied at 0-0 until the end of the first period, thanks to several great saves by its goalie, Chris Saule, Overland Park senior. "If we didn't have him, wed be losing by a lot," Kavanaugh said after Saule made a kick save on a breakaway just before the first buzzer. The second and third periods played out differently. Ezra Kulczycki, Toronto graduate student and member of Geochronic, showcased his talents both offensively and defensively. He scored a goal in each of the last two periods and secured the team's second championship victory of the day. Kenward, who was not tested much throughout the game, thanked Kulczycki after the second goal. "I was going to ask for another goal," Kenward said. "But I didn't want to push it." A. K.Psi tried valiantly to get back in the game but wasn't able to break through to Geochronic's defense. Kulczycki's teammates joked with him about his M.V.P. performance as the team received another championship shirt. The final game took place minutes later. Beta A1 and Pi Kappa Alpha took over the action in the men's greek division final. Both teams had difficulty maintaining control of the ball, and neither team could create much offensively in the first period. Beta A1's Lake Wooten, Mission Hills senior, scored a goal with just 25 seconds left in the period. The players' intensity increased in the second period. Each team scored a goal, and Beta A1 ended the period ahead 2-1. BORN CONTROL The last period was destined to be a battle, with neither team wanting to go quietly into the rest of its Sunday night. Moments after the third period started, Pi Kappa Alpha notched a goal, sneaking the ball by the opposing goalie's right leg. Just 30 seconds later, Pi Kappa Alpha took a 3-2 lead when a near-miraculous turnaround shot found its way into the net. Beta Al then tied the game at 3-3 during a mad scramble in front of Pi Kappa Alpha's net with four minutes remaining. Overtime seemed very likely as the teams remained tied with only a few minutes left. Era Kulczycki, left, Toronto graduate student, and Geoff Barnes, New York freshman, struggle for control of the ball during Sunday's game. Geochronic defeated Air Force ROTC 4-2 for the co-recreational championship. Then, with just more than two minutes left, Wootton scored his Jon Goering/KANSAN second goal of the game, finding a space between the goalie's leg and the near post. The go-ahead goal energized the team, and Beta A1 held off Pi Kappa Alpha players for the victory. The winning teams walked away with their championship prizes and intramural bragging rights.

In the quarterfinals, KU shut out Florida 2-0. Wichita senior Kyle Glick said an early goal by Darin Amsberry, Littleton, Colo., senior, was a huge spark for the team. The ball was a screamer from outside the 18-yard penalty box. It started toward the near post, then curled all the way into the side netting of the far post. "I was sitting on the bench, and as soon as he hit it, everyone got up and were silent," Glick said. "Then the ball went in, and Darin turned around and started running with his shirt over his head. He runs faster after he scores than in the game."

The Kansas City defense disrupted the Colts pass game, holding quarterback Peyton Manning to 163 passing yards and a 52.0 rating, in that the Colts still won on kicker Adam Vinatier's last second field goal. INDIANAPOLIS — Colts kicker Adam Vinatiere spent all week ignoring the critics and then drowned out the boos Sunday afternoon. Eventually, he silenced everyone with his usual late-game magic. Vinatieri, last week's goat, overcame a subpar day to rescue the Colts, making a 24-yard field goal with 4 seconds left to give Indianapolis a desperately needed 13-10 victory over Kansas City. "Every time you're out there, if something bad happens, you've got to be able to shrug it off and go back out there and forget about it if you can," Vinatieri said. "Don't let it linger longer than you have to." For Vinatieri, the November slump had lingered long enough. Last week, he missed a 29-yard attempt that could have beaten San Diego. That miss prompted speculation that Vinatiari may have lost his title as the NFL's best clutch kicker. When he lined up for a 49-yard attempt in the first quarter, fans greeted him with boos. When he pushed the kick to the right, the chorus grew louder, and when he pulled his next attempt, a 38-yarder, to the left, the decibel level again rose. He missed his first field goal ever inside the RCA Dome against New England two weeks ago. When it mattered most, however, Vinatieri was himself. He played through the soreness in his plant foot to tie the score at 3 with a 27-yarder late in the first half, drawing mock cheers, then won it with the 24-yarder that finally brought the crowd to its feet. Peyton Manning again looked ragged with Marvin Harrison (bruised left knee) out for the fourth straight week, and the Chiefs (4-6) took advantage of Indy's makeshift line. "He's one of the last guys I'd be worried about," coach Tony Dungy said. "I think the law of averages will swing back our way, and I'd be surprised if he misses again this year." Suddenly, Vinatieri had missed four in a row, his longest streak since missing three straight in 1999. But the Colts (8-2) were missing more than Vinatier's consistency. At halftime, Manning's passer rating was only 23.4, and despite a masterful closing drive to set up Vinatieri's winning kick, Manning still finished only 16-0-32 for 163 yards with one interception and a 52.0 rating. Still, it was good enough to extend the Chiefs' losing streak to three. "We've got to get to the point where we stop people," said Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen, who deflected four passes and was in the backfield almost as much as Colts running back Joseph Addai. "We've got to win the close games." Brodie Croyle, making his first NFL start, was 19-of-27 for 169 yards with one touchdown, but he also lost LIBERTY HALL accessibility info 644 Mass. 194-1912 (789) 749-1912 THE DARJEELING LIMITED (R) 4:30 7:00 9:30 TWO DAYS IN PARIS (R) 4:45 7:15 9:45 maliango.edu a fumble that set up Vinatieri's first field goal.

"But we obviously didn't move the ball well enough. You learn something every time you go out there." Indianapolis managed only 73 yards in the first half, marking the first time this season it had not produced a first-half touchdown. Yet thanks to Croyle's fumble and Vinatieri's field goal, the Colts were still tied with the Chiefs 3-3. In the second half, it appeared the offenses would right themselves. Manning finally took the lead with 6:47 left, marching the Colts all the way to the Kansas City 2-yard line before taking a knee three times and then giving Vinatieri a chance at redemption. Croyle answered with a niffy pass to Dwayne Bowe on the side of the end zone. Bowe did a spectacular toe-tapping dance along the sidelines and hung onto the ball with his knees, which stood up to Dungy's challenge, to tie the score at 10. Manning went to Addai eight times on a nine-play drive in the third quarter, and Addai scored on a 3-yard run to give India a 10-3 lead. RIBBED. (for your pleasure) NOW DELIVERING!

Consumers avoid holiday sales Instead of setting the alarm to get up early and go shop, the Canadian organization Adbusters is encouraging people to commit to a shopping-free day, with the international Buy Nothing Day. However, Leah Wewer, Leoti senior, said it was her family's tradition to get up early and find bargains on the day commonly known as Black Friday. Friday will be the 15th annual Buy Nothing Day. Adbusters campaign manager Paul Cooper said events ranged from walks through malls and cutting up credit cards to simply not buying anything on Friday. He said the purpose of the day was to make people think about the psychological and ecological effects of consumerism.

Both governors have expressed confidence in their state's football team since wagering the bet. Rivalry reaches governors'mansions BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com Leader of losing state in Border Showdown to wear other school's colors at summit Catherine Blair, University of Missouri-Columbia junior from Missouri Gov Matt Blunt will wear crimson and blue to the 2008 Governors' Summit on Regional Economic Development if the Jayhawks win the Border Showdown. Photo Illustration by Drew Bergman/KANSAN The governors of Kansas and Missouri have made a friendly bet on Saturday's football game. If the Missouri Tigers win, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will wear Tiger colors to the summit. "Governor Sebelius and I have worked together on many issues facing the bi-state region, but when it comes to the Tigers and Jayhawks we can find no common ground." Blunt said in a press release. "The Tigers are having a tremendous season, and I am confident that Governor Sebelius will be wearing black and gold at next year's economic development summit." Sebell received a master's of public administration degree from the University of Kansas after earning her undergraduate degree from Trinity College in Washington, D.C. Blunt never attended the University of Missouri. He received a bachelor's degree from the United States Naval Academy. Kansas City, Kan., said she had been to most of the Tigers games and also would attend Saturday's showdown. "It's exciting to know that the majority of both states are getting involved," Blair said. "It's good to know that our governors are as deeply involved in the rivalry as their states." Blair said the wager showed that both governors thought their team was going to win. "It creates an unnecessary division between the people," Garcia said. "It exploits a terrible historical event," he said, referring to the burning of Lawrence during the Civil War. "While I command Governor Blunt's optimism, the Jayhawks have demonstrated incredible talent in both the classroom and on the field; and I look forward to Governor Blunt sporting crimson and blue when we gather next year in Kansas City," Sebelius said in a press release. Joshua Nold, Auburn, Kan., junior, said there was no chance Sebelius would have to wear Missouri's colors. "I think the bet is great because Kansas is going to win," Nold said. Not all students agreed with the bet. Brent Garcia, Stockton junior, said he didn't agree with the rivalries. The Governors' Regional Summit will be held in Kansas City in February 2008. Edited by Luke Morris FOOTBALL Free tickets offered for Big 12 title game KU students can get free tickets to the Big 12 Championship Game if Kansas wins the Big 12 North. Students can request tickets to the game at 9 a.m. on Monday at the KU ticket office, where they will receive a coupon. Of the 8,500 tickets allotted to the University, 20 percent (about 1,716 tickets) would be for students, though more could become available.

Students can pick up the tickets at the Alamodome the day of the game, and groups of students who want to sit together must pick up their tickets together at the Alamodome. And for the bowl game, the Athletics Department is offering a reduced-price ticket for $50, a significant discount, to the first 3,000 students who request one. The Big 12 Championship Game will be played at 7 p.m. Dec. 1 in the Alamodome in San Antonio. The Jayhawks would play the Big 12 South winner, either Oklahoma or Texas.

The shirt was not made nor was it endorsed by the University of Missouri-Columbia athletics department, but the Tigers logo was used on the shirt. Old rivalries between Kansas and Missouri dating back to the Civil War have been brought up on Internet discussion boards in the days building up to the border showdown this Saturday. The shirtmaker said he made the shirt to protest the use of the Jayhawk by the University of Kansas. CAMPUS FULL STORY PAGE 3A The center's new building, which is conjoined with the Kansas Union, was first proposed in 2001. It was approved by KU administration in 2003. Funding for the center comes from private donations and a $3.50 fee that KU students pay each sememster. Board members, student senators get a sneak peek at the building Santos Núñez, program director of multicultural affairs, gave members of both groups a tour of the center. The new Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center was shown to members of Student Senate and the Multicultural Education Fund Board yesterday for the first time. Resource center slated to open in January 2008 Alex Porte, assistant student body treasurer, said that Student Senate had approved spending $30,000 from the Senate budget to go toward a digital screen and panels that would hang in the hallway that connects the Center and the Kansas Union. The new building is expected to be completed on Dec. 10 and will be formally opened on Jan.28. Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN DANIELLE MALKIN .

James said that the University referred to violent acts during the Civil War each time it used the Jayhawk image. Mizzou fan: Quantrill shirts were for personal use only BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com A controversial rivalry shirt referring to Quantrill's Raid was made for protest, not for mass production. The yellow T-shirts depicting Lawrence on fire with the word "scoreboard" and the Missouri Tiger logo beneath it were not produced by the University of Missouri-Columbia. Nathan Fowler, who could not be reached for comment, posted a photo of the shirt on an AOL blog last week. On the back was Quantrill's slogan, "Raise the black flag and ride hard, boys. Our cause is just and our enemies many." Misty Nolke, manager at the Team Store, the official apparel store for the Missouri Tigers, said she had not heard of the shirt. She said only three official rivals shirts were available, none of which refer to the Civil War nor to Quantrill's raid. Jeff James, 32, St. Charles, Mo., resident and Missouri alumnus, said he produced the shirts in a silent protest against the continued use of the Jayhawk mascot by the University of Kansas. He said that at the time of the AOL blog post, only four shirts had been produced. He said he made the shirt for himself and three of his friends for personal use only. "I was not aware that the photo was going to be taken or posted to an Internet message board," James said. "Nor did I realize the immediate stir and reaction or demand for the shirts. I have decided personally not to move forward with any sort of sales or spreading of shirts of this or similar nature." James said he had seen several shirts with Civil War references made after he produced the "scoreboard" shirt. James cited the Wikipedia.com page on Jayhawking to explain that the University of Kansas made reference to Civil War atrocities each time it used the Jayhawk logo. Mark Hersey, interim project director for the Kansas Union-sponsored Web site "This Week in KU History," said mascots took on lives of their own. He said that the exact origin of the term Jayhawk was disputed among historians but that it did become synonymous with Kansas and Freestaters in the mid-19th century. "Wikipedia is not the most reliable source; anyone can put anything on there," Hersey said. "There is a gap between the historical origins of something and what it means conventionally." Hersey said he acknowledged that atrocities were committed on both sides of the rivalry, but that it was tough to find sympathy for the Missouri side because it was a slave state. James said he recognized that slavery was an issue at the time of Quantrill's raid but that it was not his intention to support prejudice or injustice toward blacks. "If the University of Kansas acknowledges these points and agrees that its mascot can be seen as offensive and an inappropriate symbol to use, I will then do what I am sure many Kansans would like to see happen to the shirts I made; I will burn them," James said. Hersey said the Jayhawk mascot was not offensive to any particular group, and that it would be ridiculous to expect the University of Kansas to change its mascot at this point. Edited by Amelia Freidline CRIME Preteen boys held on rape charges BY SHANNON MCCAFFREY ASSOCIATED PRESS ACWORTH, Ga. — Three boys, ages 8 and 9, were being held Monday in a detention center on charges of kidnapping and raping an 11-year-old girl near a suburban apartment complex, officials said. The alleged attack happened Thursday and the girl's mother reported it to authorities Sunday, Acworth police Capt. Wayne Dennard said. "The victim said they were playing outdoors and the girl was forced into a wooded area where she was sexually assaulted, where one of the boys raped her," Dennard told The Associated Press. The three boys — an 8-year-old and two 9-year-olds — appeared in juvenile court Monday afternoon, dwarfed by the courtroom chairs and wearing navy blue jump suits and shackles. Their names were withheld because of their age. Attorney Pat Head said the boys could not be charged with felony crimes because of their age but could be tried for alleged delinquent acts that could place them in a juvenile facility for up to five years. Cobb County District The next step will be for the court to schedule a hearing to determine how to proceed in the case, Head said. Juvenile Court Judge A. Gregory Poole issued a gag order preventing the lawyers from commenting further. Ihs only at Jayhawk Bookstore ...at the top of Naismith Hill www.jayhawkbookstore.com • 843-3826 • 1420 Crescent Rd.

KU Athletics Department buys Big 12 game tickets for students GAMEDAY watch parties It's tradition. Cheer on Kansas for the Missouri game! FOOTBALL "I don't want to commit to anything right now," he said. "I think we'll take it year-by-year." The ticket offices at both Oklahoma and Missouri said they wouldn't offer free student tickets to the game. Marchiony wasn't sure whether the Athletics Department would continue offering free student tickets to postseason football games in coming years. Students can pick up a coupon on Monday startling at 9 a.m. at the KU ticket office. With a coupon and a valid KUID, students can pick up the actual tickets at the KU will-call window at the Alamodome on the day of the game. Students do not need to have bought all-sports combo package to be eligible for the free tickets, as the allotment of tickets will be first-come, first-serve. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the Athletics Department would pay for the tickets at a cost of $79 a piece. The Athletics Department most recently paid for student tickets in 2005 for the Fort Worth Bowl in Houston. "If we can accommodate more students, we will do so," Marchiony said. "We'll know early next week." "I had planned on trying to find some disgruntled Nebraska fans to sell me some tickets for cheap," he said. Marchiony said that of the 8,500 tickets allotted to Kansas, about 20 percent would be given to students. He said 1,716 tickets would be available at first, but more could become available for students to have for free. "There was a really good response, and we thought that it was particularly appropriate because of the support the students have given the football program over the past few years," Marchiony said. For whatever bowl game the Jayhawks play in, the first 3,000 students who request a ticket will get a reduced-priced ticket for $50. Students wanting to sit together during the game should go in a group when they redeem their cou Bergman said he would try to be one of the first 3,000 students in line to follow the Jayhawks to their bowl game. "I will be reaching deep into the checkbook for this one," he said. "It has been a long time coming, and you simply cannot put a price on how special this team and season has been. I will be right behind them anywhere they go, and I encourage others to join the ride." "When we beat Missouri, nothing aside from death is keeping me from that game," Bergman said. "I am almost 21 and have been following Jayhawk football as far back as I can remember. This season has been a dream for fans like myself, and fortunately I will get a free ticket." Although Bergman was thankful the Athletics Department was giving free tickets to students, he had a backup plan. He planned to buy cheap tickets from Nebraska fans who purchased them before the season began. Stephen Bergman, St. Benedict junior, said that he had been to every home game during the past three years and that he and a group of friends were planning to make the trip to San Antonio. When students pick up their coupons, KUIDs will be limited to four per student. Marchiony said the Athletics Department made this decision after discussions with Student Body President Hannah Love, Dodge City senior, and Student Body Vice President Ray Whittlinger, Olathe senior. Marchiony said the cost for those tickets was normally $179. Students can purchase their tickets beginning 9 a.m. Dec. 3 at the KU ticket office or by phone. Students must then pick up their tickets at the bowl game. Student tickets are free. — The game is at 7 p.m. Dec. 1 in the Alamodome in San Antonio. — At least 1,716 tickets (about 20 percent of those allotted) will be for students, though more could become available. ticket info pons for tickets at the will-call window in San Antonio.

James said that the University received violent acts during the Civil War each time it used the Jayhawk insignia. Mizzou fan: Quantrill shirts were for personal use only BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com A controversial rivalry shirt referring to Quantrill's Raid was made for protest, not for mass production. The yellow T-shirts depicting Lawrence on fire with the word "scoreboard" and the Missouri Tiger logo beneath it were not produced by the University of Missouri-Columbia. Nathan Fowler, who could not be reached for comment, posted a photo of the shirt on an AOL blog last week. On the back was Quantrill's slogan, "Raise the black flag and ride hard, boys. Our cause is just and our enemies many." Misty Nolke, manager at the Team Store, the official apparel store for the Missouri Tigers, said she had not heard of the shirt. She said only three official rivalry shirts were available, none of which refer to the Civil War nor to Quantrill's raid. Jeff James, 32, St. Charles, Mo., resident and Missouri alumnus, said he produced the shirts in a silent protest against the continued use of the Jayhawk mascot by the University of Kansas. He said that at the time of the AOL blog post, only four shirts had been produced. He said he made the shirt for himself and three of his friends for personal use only. "I was not aware that the photo was going to be taken or posted to an Internet message board," James said. "Nor did I realize the immediate stir and reaction or demand for the shirts. I have decided personally not to move forward with any sort of sales or spreading of shirts of this or similar nature." James said he had seen several shirts with Civil War references made after he produced the "scoreboard" shirt. James cited the Wikipedia.com page on Jayhawking to explain that the University of Kansas made reference to Civil War atrocities each time it used the Jayhawk logo. Mark Hersey, interim project director for the Kansas Union-sponsored Web site "This Week in KU History," said mascots took on lives of their own. He said that the exact origin of the term Jayhawk was disputed among historians but that it did become synonymous with Kansas and Freestaters in the mid-19th century. "Wikipedia is not the most reliable source; anyone can put anything on there," Hersey said. "There is a gap between the historical origins of something and what it means conventionally." Hersey said he acknowledged that atrocities were committed on both sides of the rivalry, but that it was tough to find sympathy for the Missouri side because it was a slave state. James said he recognized that slavery was an issue at the time of Quantrill's raid but that it was not his intention to support prejudice or injustice toward blacks. "If the University of Kansas acknowledges these points and agrees that its mascot can be seen as offensive and an inappropriate symbol to use, I will do what I am sure many Kansans would like to see happen to the shirts I made; I will burn them," James said. Hersey said the Jayhawk mascot was not offensive to any particular group, and that it would be ridiculous to expect the University of Kansas to change its mascot at this point. Edited by Amelia Freidline CRIME Preteen boys held on rape charges BY SHANNON MCCAFFREY ASSOCIATED PRESS ACWORTH, Ga. — Three boys, ages 8 and 9, were being held Monday in a detention center on charges of kidnapping and raping an 11-year-old girl near a suburban apartment complex, officials said. Dennard said. The alleged attack happened Thursday and the girl's mother reported it to authorities Sunday, Acworth police Capt. Wayne "The victim said they were playing outdoors and the girl was forced into a wooded area where she was sexually assaulted, where one of the boys raped her," Dennard told The Associated Press. The three boys — an 8-year-old and two 9-year-olds — appeared in juvenile court Monday afternoon, dwarfed by the courtroom chairs and wearing navy blue jump suits and shackles. Their names were withheld because of their age. Attorney Pat Head said the boys could not be charged with felony crimes because of their age but could be tried for alleged delinquent acts that could place them in a juvenile facility for up to five years. Cobb County District The next step will be for the court to schedule a hearing to determine how to proceed in the case, Head said. Juvenile Court Judge A. Gregory Poole issued a gag order preventing the lawyers from commenting further.

BY JEFF DETERS AND TRAVIS ROBINETT editor@kasan.com The Athletics Department is offering KU students free tickets to the Big 12 Championship Game if Kansas defeats Missouri on Saturday. KU Athletics Department buys Big 12 game tickets for students A victory would put the Jayhawks in their first Big 12 football title game, which will be at 7 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The Jayhawks would play either Oklahoma or Texas. FOOTBALL Students can pick up a coupon on Monday starting at 9 a.m. at the KU ticket office. With a coupon and a valid KUID, students can pick up the actual tickets at the KU will-call window at the Alamodome on the day of the game. Students do not need to have bought all-sports combo package to be eligible for the free tickets, as the allotment of tickets will be first-come, first-serve. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the Athletics Department would pay for the tickets at a cost of $79 a piece. The Athletics Department most recently paid for student tickets in 2005 for the Fort Worth Bowl in Houston. "If we can accommodate more students, we will do so," Marchiony said. "We'll know early next week." "There was a really good response, and we thought that it was particularly appropriate because of the support the students have given the football program over the past few years," Marchiony said. Marchiony said that of the 8,500 tickets allotted to Kansas, about 20 percent would be given to students. He said 1,716 tickets would be available at first, but more could become available for students to have for free. "I don't want to commit to anything right now," he said. "I think we'll take it year-by-year." Students wanting to sit together during the game should go in a group when they redeem their cou "I had planned on trying to find some disgruntled Nebraska fans to sell me some tickets for cheap," he said. "When we beat Missouri, nothing aside from death is keeping me from that game," Bergman said. "I am almost 21 and have been following Jayhawk football as far back as I can remember. This season has been a dream for fans like myself, and fortunately I will get a free ticket." The ticket offices at both Oklahoma and Missouri said they wouldn't offer free student tickets to the game. Marchiony wasn't sure whether the Athletics Department would continue offering free student tickets to postseason football games in coming years. For whatever bowl game the Jayhawks play in, the first 3,000 students who request a ticket will get a reduced-priced ticket for $50. Although Bergman was thankful the Athletics Department was giving free tickets to students, he had a backup plan. He planned to buy cheap tickets from Nebraska fans who purchased them before the season began. Bergman said he would try to be one of the first 3,000 students in line to follow the Jayhawks to their bowl game. Stephen Bergman, St. Benedict junior, said that he had been to every home game during the past three years and that he and a group of friends were planning to make the trip to San Antonio. "I will be reaching deep into the checkbook for this one," he said. "It has been a long time coming, and you simply cannot put a price on how special this team and season has been. I will be right behind them anywhere they go, and I encourage others to join the ride." SAFETY & HISTORIC MUSCLE CENTER LOS ANGELES, CA JUST 'CROSS the Bridge • 401 N. 2nd • 842-0377 When students pick up their coupons, KUIDs will be limited to four per student.

Marchiony said the cost for those tickets was normally $179. Students can purchase their tickets beginning 9 a.m. Dec. 3 at the KU ticket office or by phone. Students must then pick up their tickets at the bowl game. A limit of four KUIDs per student will be enforced. — Coupons will be given to students wanting tickets starting at 9 a.m. on Monday. — The coupons can be exchanged for tickets at the will-call window at the Alamodome the day of the game. ticket info Edited by Jeff Briscoe BROTHERS Est. 1967 BAR & GRILL 1105 Massachusetts St. Lawrence 1105 Massachusetts St. WIN!

Construction on the building, next to the Kansas Union, is set to be complete in early-December with the dedication ceremony set for Jan. 28. Construction to be completed in early December BY ERIN SOMMER esommer@kansan.com Members of Student Senate and the Multicultural Education Fund Board got a peek at the new Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center yesterday. Students and faculty members from both groups toured the third floor of the building with Santos Núñez, program director of multicultural affairs. Alex Porte, Great Falls, Va., sophomore and student body assistant treasurer, went on the tour and said that the building appeared to be "pretty much done," with most of the drywall and glass panes put in place. Porte said that each semester students paid $3.50 in fees to pay for the construction of the MRC. The fee was introduced in the fall of 2005 and will continue through at least 2012. Other funding for the building came from private donations, mainly from the Sabatini family. Students also pay a $1.50 fee to finance the Multicultural Education Fund Board, which the MRC uses to finance multicultural groups and events. "It looks good. It really looks like it's about to be finished," Porte said. "We're really proud of the building." According to the University Web site, the center was established in 1991, in 2001 a new building was proposed and KU administration agreed in 2003 to begin the project. The Center is currently located on Summerfield Drive, and the new building is conjoined to the Kansas Union on Iayhawk Boulevard. The Center was originally set to open earlier this fall, but because of construction setbacks its opening was pushed back to this winter. Porte said that during the tour, Núnez said that the building would be fully complete on Dec. 10 and would formally open on Jan. 28. Porte said that the floor he toured featured a meeting room that could hold about 90 people, an Academic Resource Center with computers for student use, and offices. Porte said Student Senate passed legislation earlier this year would hang in the same hallway and depict the history of multicultural affairs at the University. Hannah Love, Dodge City senior and student body president, also toured the building yesterday. She said that the building had interesting architectural aspects and that it showcased views of the campus She also said that she was relieved the project was finally over. through its windows. "It's so nice to have the building built and know that kind of representation is on campus." Love said. "It's nice to see the rewards of it." — Edited by Amelia Freidline INVENTIONS Contest encourages students to create Bubble Wrap tools Innovative young minds make devices from packing material BY CHRIS NEWMARKER ASSOCIATED PRESS TRENTON, N.J. - It's the stuff that many people find addictively fun to pop after opening a fragile package. But for a group of young inventors, Bubble Wrap is more than something to stomp on, it's a source of inspiration. On 11-year-old Kayla Weston, it's a building material for shock-absorbing flooring for dancers; 11-year-old Max Wallack used it to create wrist cushions for carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers. "What's better than resting on air?" asked Wallack, of Natick, Mass. Wallack is among 15 semifinalists competing in the second year of the Bubble Wrap Competition for Young Inventors, sponsored by Sealed Air Corp., the Elmwood Park, N.J.-based creator of the packaging material. More than 1,400 entries were received from students in 39 states. Wallack said he spent months creating Bubble Wrap-filled socks with elastic and fabric fastener to tie around the wrists of people with carpal tunnel syndrome. He asked his grandmother to try out his prototypes. "What better way to celebrate a great invention than to try to encourage America's youth to take the product and try to reinvent something else out of the same product?" said Shellenberger, who manages the company division that includes Bubble Wrap. Other semifinalists used Bubble Wrap to create a coin bank, a kite kit, a plant shelter, a teaching tool for blind people learning Braille, and wallpaper designed to engage and stimulate children with autism. "I wanted to help her because she had all these cumbersome splints, things that didn't help at all." The competition encourages the type of inventiveness demonstrated by Sealed Air's founders 47 years ago, when they realized a decorative wall covering they had designed actually made good cushioning for items being shipped, according to Rohn Shellenberger, a company manager. MAX WALLACK Young inventor "I wanted to help her because she had all these cumbersome splints, things that didn't help at all." Wallack said. "Before she had surgery, she was wearing it and it usually helped." The contest, administered by the Akron, Ohio-based National Museum of Education, was promoted in schools across the country, and was limited to students in grades five through eight. Contest entries had to be original inventions that incorporated the use of clear Bubble Wrap brand cushioning. Company officials say it's possible some of the student inventions could be used to create new products. Founded in 1960, Sealed Air sells a variety of packaging products around the world. The company had about $4.3 billion in revenue during its fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2006, with profits up 7.2 percent to about $274 million. All 15 semifinalists will at least get a $500 U.S. savings bond, Sealed Air, along with the National Museum of Education, will announce three finalists in January, with a grand prize winner receiving a $10,000 U.S. savings bond at a Jan. 28 awards ceremony in New York City. Weston, of Longwood, Fla., sand-wiched Bubble Wrap between two sheets of plywood, and nailed a frame around it to create a shock-resistant floor for dancing. "Right now, my dance studio is a warehouse, so we just have wood, so when we're landing it's a very hard floor. So with the Bubble Wrap, it would be able to absorb all of the landings and it would give everyone a cushion," Weston said. CAMPUS Hair for the holidays Students grow beards to honor Thanksgiving BEARDS they grow on you! BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com For guys, it's a way to honor those before us. For girls, it's annoying. Thanksgiving Day Beards is a tradition that asks men to grow their beards starting Nov. 1 and not shave until the day after Thanksgiving. The tradition has a Facebook group called Thanksgiving Day Beards, which has 71 members. Mark Barrash, a 2007 graduate from St. Louis, brought the tradition to the University. A friend from Loyola University Chicago told Barrash about the tradition. He said his friend explained to him the rules of the tradition, which said that participants were allowed to shave on Halloween at any time but had to put away their razors until after Thanksgiving Day. "We of course found this to be hysterical," Barrath said. "He recommended we wait until after Thanksgiving dinner, as your beard serves as a useful means for catching food as you eat." "Everyone asks us why we even do this. Our immediate response to such a question is, we do this to pay tribute to the forefathers of this fine country," Barrath said. "Look back in history. It's absolutely littered with full-grown, oftenimes impressive beards. So we do this as a reminder to give thanks to those men who worked so hard to Barrath said the reason for carrying out such a tradition was simple. Contributed by Rich Davis make this country what it is today." Davis said that although the tradition called for no shaving between Halloween and Thanksgiving, there were exceptions. "I like paying tribute to the forefathers, and it's funny at the same time," Davis said. make this county What it is About? Rich Davis, St. Louis senior, said he joined the tradition a few years ago after Barrath told him about it. "Obviously, if there is a legit excuse, like a job interview during that time, we allow people to shave," Davis said. "You can't just shave to shave, though." Davis said the urge to shave was very tempting. Barrath said the desire to shave also came from how women reacted "Aside from itch, during beard season there is a noticeable increase in the number of girls that don't talk to me." Barrath said. "It gets difficult at times, but that's when we encourage people to understand the difficulties endured by the forefathers of this country surely are far worse than an itchy neck or criticism from the female population." "They absolutely hated it, for some of the obvious reasons," Davis said. "But it's about tradition." Davis said the beards were issues when he and Barrath had girlfriends.

JAYMES AND SARAH LOGAN ENTERTAINMENT Kidman's court testimony describes celebrity photographer's car chase ASSOCIATED PRESS SYDNEY, Australia — Nicole Kidman told a courtroom Monday how she was reduced to tears and feared a car accident after a celebrity photographer pursued her two years ago. Kidman, who divides her time between Los Angeles and her hometown of Sydney, was testifying in the photographer's defamation suit against a Sydney newspaper that slammed him for allegedly hounding the Oscar-winning actress. The film star, who wore a gray knee-length skirt, cream-colored blouse and pale pink cardigan and had her long, curly hair drawn up in a loose bun, appeared calm and composed during the session in the New South Wales state Supreme Court. Her poise contrasted sharply with her description of the ride from her house in Sydney to her parents' home in another part of the city for Kidman described hunkering down in the car's back seat — leaning over in her chair in the witness stand to demonstrate — to try to avoid being spotted by photographer Jamie Fawcett. She said the trip quickly turned into a hair-raising chase as a vehicle carrying Fawcett and another vehicle, believed to contain his assistant, lurched through traffic around Kidman's car. "I was frightened and I was worried there was going to be an accident," Kidman said. Kidman said she was "really, really scared" during the car ride and that she was "in tears and distressed" by the time she reached her parents' house. Fawcett, a well-known celebrity photographer in Sydney, is suing The Sun-Herald newspaper for defamation over an article that said he was Sydney's most disliked freelance photographer and was determined to "wreak havoc" on Kidman's private life. Kidman described two other times that Fawcett had allegedly been intrusive when trying to photograph her — once while she was on her honeymoon with country music star Keith Urban in Tahiti in mid-2006, and once after Christmas in Sydney last year. She said he was one of the reasons she employed full-time security guards. A jury has already found that the article defamed Fawcett. The current hearing is to decide whether the newspaper's publisher, Fairfax Media, should pay the photographer damages, and how much. "I have been pursued many times," Kidman said. "I have had this happen in relation to this particular man ... so many times. "I employ people to protect me now. I employ people 24 hours to protect myself because I don't feel equipped to handle things," she said.

ANARCHY IN THE U.K. PAGE 7A GUEST COLUMN Please answer in the form of a question 'Jeopardy' audition celebrates the benefits of knowing a lot of useless information 10 KELSEY HAYES The first thing I want to know is where you got that darling sweater." I'm standing in front of three seated "Jeopardy" employees, undergoing the final leg of today's audition process—the interview. We've just finished a simulated game, complete with the hand-held clickers. We frantically pumped our thumbs on the clickers like we were playing "Halo" after drinking a gallon of Red Bull. I answer the question the woman asked—American Eagle, it was a Christmas present. Now I have to say a little about myself. Well, I'm a junior at KU and I spent nine months in England last year and I'm doing my thesis on Britain and the European Union. This is the audition for the "College Jeopardy" tournament. The winner receives not only unrivalged geckal credentials, but also $100,000. The most I've ever won in a trivia competition was £10 in Reading, England, which was immediately recycled into a pitcher and a bowl of chips. $100,000 would buy a lot of pitchers and a lot of chips. I took an online test in September, didn't think much on it and received an e-mail in October inviting me to Chicago for the second leg of tryouts. 20 students, including me, were herded into a ballroom of the Westin Hotel on Michigan Avenue. We represented a pretty broad swath of Midwestern schools. Almost half the students were from the University of Michigan, which floored me, considering that they had to miss their school getting beat by Ohio State in that yawner of a Big Ten championship. Our handlers, the three aforementioned employees, explained the process to us. We'd be given a written quiz, get into groups of three and play the actual game and finally be interviewed. They also told us our approximate chances for actually getting on the show. It all comes down to luck. The personal interviews were the most interesting part. One girl stood up and broke out into opera. A guy from the University of Georgia said he read geology articles for fun. Another guy built solar-powered cars for competitions and had raced them in Australia. I said I was the opinion editor on my college paper, which I thought was pretty much awesome. Everyone had their own little quirks, odd majors and experiences. I couldn't help but imagine Alex Trebek speaking to each of us on the show. "Jane, it says here that you're a state champion in beer pong. Would you like to tell us a little more about that?" "Well, Alex..." Eventually, the "Jeopardy" people asked the lynch pin question. "What would you do with the money if you won?" Most people, including me, said that they'd spend the money on graduate school and travel. Britain, France, Germany, Spain and Italy were the travel destinations of choice, which made me feel a little smug since I'd been to all of them. A baseball fan said he wanted to travel across the country and see games at every stadium. I kept waiting for someone to say something like, "I'm takin' this to Vegas!" The closest anyone came to that was the guy from Georgia who said he'd invest some of it. After the written quiz, the game play and the interviews, we were sent on our way with a cheerful, "Good luck!" I left the Westin feeling reasonably optimistic. I'd met some interesting people and had fun answering questions and talking about myself and my sweater. If I get lucky, I'll be in Wisconsin in a few months wearing my KU sweatshirt. I always get tired of people from Harvard, Stanford and Princeton dominating "College Jeopardy," and want to score one for all the people who proudly go to the State U. For now, there's nothing left to do but wait. Wait, and call out the answers while I watch at home. Hayes is a Lenexa junior in journalism, political science and international studies.

Blackwater abuses authority in Iraq The private militia is not subjected to the same laws as American soldiers TREVAN MCGEE On Sept. 16 an armed convoy of six U.S. State Department SUVs came under fire in the Mansour district of Baghdad in a crowded market square. The SUVs, driven by Blackwater private security operatives, stopped. Operatives evacuated the vehicles and returned fire. Helicopters escorting the convoy gave aid. When the shooting stopped, somewhere between11 and 23 Iraqi civilians were dead. For many people around the world, this was the first exposure to Blackwater, a private security company with roughly 1,000 tactical operatives currently in Iraq—none of which are held legally accountable to a specific entity, be it the United States or Iraqi governments or the United Nations. For the Iraqi people, however, Blackwater has been a constant reminder of occupation since the beginning of U.S. involvement in their country. There's a girl. She's changed Operatives have aggressively forced military convoys through crowded neighborhoods and marketplaces and fired on cars they considered too close. The Iraiq government accused Blackwater operatives of aiding in the jailbreak of Ahyam Al Samari, a man who embezzled $2.2 billion meant to restore Iraq's archaic power grid. Another group of operatives are under FBI investigation for allegedly smuggling weapons into Iraq and then selling them to the Kurdistan Workers Party, a known terrorist organization. While Congress voted in favor of including private security companies in the Military Extraterritorial Act, investigations take time and do not provide immediate accountability to, or curb, violence. In lieu of the Sept. 16 incident the Iraq government has moved to revoke private security contractors' immunity, bu at the same time, Iraq's government is in no position to enforce its own laws. Blackwater operatives are essentially above the law. As a private company, Blackwater has more than 21,000 operatives in its database and 90 percent of its largely unknown profits come from government contracts. Operatives serve as security guards, convoy escorts and assassins and while the company currently works exclusively for the government, While American's cringe at the idea of a draft and wince at casualty reports, leaving Iraq in full would guarantee its implosion into further sectarian violence, interference from Iran and Syria and make the country an even more fertile breeding ground for international terrorism and anti-American sentiment. corporate hiring and privatized intelligence are the next steps in the Blackwater business model. Ironically, it was the brutal murder of four Blackwater operatives in Fallujah and the military's subsequent monthlong assault on the city that effectively lost "the hearts and minds" of the Iraqi people and emboldened Mutada Al Sadr to call for the first Shilite uprising. accountability monitoring to an independent organization as well. Because so much of the War on Terror has been outsourced already, we should outsource The State Department has already announced that its officials will accompany Blackwater operatives on their convvoys in Iraq. The department will also install security cameras in Blackwater vehicles and will keep recordings of Blackwater radio transmissions. Amnesty International is the best candidate for this job. The organization has already been monitoring the activities of Blackwater and other private security contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan, so it has experience. The organization could prepare monthly assessments of security contractor conduct, report directly to the State Department and publish the findings as public record. Amnesty International could also ensure that future contracts between the State Department and private contractors contained sections on human rights, something previous contracts lacked. Of course, in order for this to work certain aspects of private security cannot remain private. While companies like Blackwater may be perfect candidates for the kind of warfare in which the line between civilians and enemy combatants is often blurry or nonexistent, they still have to answer to someone.

TRUE BLUE DRAWING BOARD Missouri T-shirt designer explains his position LETTER TO THE EDITOR MAX RINKE am the initial maker of the "scoreboard" Law Frence burning shirt you reference in one of your articles. I would like to explain that I certainly recognize that slavery was an issue at the time and absolutely do not support prejudice or injustice toward African-Americans or any other group, and the shirts were in no way meant to connote that. On the contrary, I have very good African-American friends and have for many years gotten offended by KU fans calling Missourians 'slavers' and their team wearing 'redlegs' for their games with Mizzou. the image on the shirt really need to investigate the origins of the term jayhawk, and they will find that things like town burning, citizens being murdered, lawlessness and looting are all things that 'jayhawkers' also did during that era. Wikipedia notes that jayhawker bands committed some of the most notorious atrocities of the Civil War, including the massacre at Osceola, Mo., in which the entire town was set afame and at least nine of the male residents killed, and that items stolen in raids into Missouri were frequently referred to as having been "jayhawked." Is the supposed cause of abolition really justification for a university to celebrate murder, stealing and lawlessness? What sort of example did those jayhawkers set for the persons whose freedom they supposedly fought for? Perhaps The point of the shirt was as an informal protest against the University of Kansas's continued use of the "Jayhawk" as its athletic logo and mascot. Any KU grads or students upset about the free black who rode alongside Quantrill during the raid on Lawrence did so because he disapproved of those acts by jay-hawkers? Moreover, KU forcing civil rights issues to the forefront by using terms like 'jayhawk' is inappropriate because Kansas' own civil rights record is far from praiseworthy. After emancipation Kansas as a state continued to allow for segregation in its schools and elsewhere. It took the Brown v. Board of Education decision, whereby the U.S. Supreme Court forced Kansas to finally overturn its own statewide adopted segregation laws, for there to actually begin to be true equality in Kansas—and Brown v. Board was well after most all northern states had already voluntarily desegregated. I don't understand why, if Kansas' proud 'jayhawkers' were so intent on fighting for a people's freedom, the state of Kansas would turn right around and subjugate those people even at a time in the 1950s when many other states didn't. It's hypocritical in my opinion to evoke the 'jayhawk' and 'redlegs' as university symbols while ignoring Kansas' own skeletons in the closet as far as race. That said, if the University of Kansas acknowledges these points and agrees that its mascot can be seen as offensive and an inappropriate symbol to use. I will then do what I am sure many Kansans would like to see happen to these shirts: I will burn them.

The group has previously demonstrated by cutting up credit cards and walking like zombies in malls. Consumers avoid big sales, hassle of Black Friday Group celebrates 'Buy Nothing Day' BY SASHA ROE soe@kansan.com For some students, pumpkin pie and football aren't the first things that come to mind at Thanksgiving; to some it's dollar signs and shopping bags. But the international campaign of "Buy Nothing Day"encourages people not give in to consumerism this Friday. Buy Nothing Day is an international day of protest recognized on the day after Thanksgiving, also known as Black Friday, which is one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Buy Nothing Day was founded by Canadian artist Ted Dave in 1992 and is now supported by the Canadian media group and magazine "Adbusters," an anti-consumerist organization that publishes a political and social activist magazine that contains no ads. Paul Cooper, Adbusters campaign manager, said Buy Nothing Day was an opportunity for society to step back from over-consumerism. He said there were two aspects to the day — one being psychological and resisting the marketing madness of Friday, and moving towards the true spirit of the season. Cooper said the second part was more ecological — realizing that 80 percent of the world's resources are used by 20 percent of the world's citizens. Cooper said Adbusters encouraged people to take part in events other than shopping on Friday, and different activities were scheduled internationally. He said common displays of activism on the day included cutting up credit cards in a mall, or walking around a mall doing a "zombie walk," with blank stares. Cooper said the easiest way to participate was just to commit to not buying anything on Friday. Cooper said he thought the day was important to make society think twice about their materialistic actions. "Few people take the time to consider different ways of living." Cooper said. "They are too busy to examine the way they live." Spencer White, Independence sophomore, said he joined the Facebook group for Buy Nothing Day not only because he didn't plan to shop on Friday, but because as a college student it was a normal routine to buy nothing. "It's funny really, I saw that and I thought, 'Almost every day is buy nothing day.' " White said. "I'm certainly not going to be shopping on Friday," White said. Christina Williams, Wichita junior, said she planned to sleep in and not take part in the crazy shopping day. She said she didn't have to worry about it being a family thing because her mother didn't enjoy the shopping either. However, Williams said she might consider shopping earlier in the week to get some game-day gear. White said he thought there were better ways to find Christmas presents than rushing to a mall on Friday. White, a musician, said he planned to record Christmas music and give his family the CDs. He said he thought the nation had become obsessed with materialism, and he was happy not to participate on the biggest shopping day of the year. "I might go over to the Union on Tuesday thought," Williams said. However, Leah Wewer, Leoti senior, said she didn't want to miss the Friday bargains. Wewer said it was a family tradition to hit the stores early and find Christmas presents. She said she and her family usually looked at ads the day before and picked out what they wanted to get on Black Friday. She said by 5 a.m. on Friday her family was ready to fight the crowds and find good deals.

The discomfort will come from Kansas sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing and Missouri junior quarterback Chase Daniel. Reesing and Daniel, arguably the Big 12 Conference's two best quarterbacks, both grew up in Texas but moved north after receiving little interest from in-state schools. Reeing and Daniel were considered undersized at 5-foot-11 and 6-foot, respectively. But it's 11 games into the 2007 season, and Reeing and Daniel have thrown a combined 60 touchdown passes and are Heisman Trophy candidates. "I don't think there's any question they are great players." Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "A lot of people get caught up in that you have to be 6-2, 6-3 or 6-4. But I think it's obvious that several players are proving you can be an outstanding college football player at the highest level and not be a 6-5 quarterback." Reeing and Daniel have shown that their size is irrelevant with outstanding seasons. Reeing has re-written the Kansas record book by throwing for 30 touchdowns and completing 205 straight passes without an interception. Daniel ranks seventh in the nation in passing yards with more than 326 per game and has thrown 117 straight passes without an interception. The quarterback who plays better in the 116th edition of the Border Showdown on Saturday will likely lead his team to victory "I don't even know who we played this week. It's over with. I don't even care about anything; we won, that's all that matters," Daniel said. "Kansas, Kansas, Kansas. We can finally worry about it." Daniel's immeasurable excitement for a game is understandable. After all, the winner automatically wins the Big 12 North division, and the loser is eliminated from the national championship picture. But there's even more on the line for the two quarterbacks because the one with a better game is nearly guaranteed to be a finalist for the Heisman. Reeing said he was focused on his own preparation and didn't have time to think about the monumental showdown between Daniel and himself. "Chase is a great player from the times I've seen him play. He finds a way to make plays," Reesing said. "He's a great quarterback, but that's not really my concern because I play against the defense and he plays offense." Reeing might not be worried about facing his fellow Texas native in the biggest game of the college football season. But it's definitely a Border Showdown matchup that the nation is focused on. With a national television audience watching the game from Arrowhead Stadium, everyone wants to see what the two Heisman-hyped quarterbacks are all about. Kansas coach Mark Mangino wouldn't comment on the award but did make one thing clear. "Here's the best compliment I can give Todd," Mangino said. "I wouldn't trade him for any other player that's being considered for that." He resembles Pinkel, who wouldn't trade Daniel. Reeing and Daniel might be smaller than the prototypical college quarterback, but on Saturday, they will be playing on the biggest stage.

Border Showdown to put both teams on the line BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com Kansas and Missouri fans shouldn't need much reason to get excited for the Border Showdown. The two schools share a distaste for one another that dates back to the 19th century. But this season's matchup is about more than history. Kansas is undefeated and ranked No. 2, one-loss Missouri is No. 3, and both teams are playing for a spot in the Big 12 Championship. The two have flown through 12 weeks of blowout victories and endured a season's worth of questions about this weekend's matchup. "Everybody obviously prepares week in and week out, but it has been in the back of everybody's mind," junior defensive end John Larson said. "We've been waiting for this game because it's been so highly anticipated. We're just excited to The game that has provided media and fans with endless fodder for speculation is here: It's finally Mizzou week. The teams' paths to the matchup at Arrowhead Stadium look strikingly similar. Each team plowed through the nonconference portion of the season undefeated, scoring more than 30 points in every game. Missouri defeated BCS Conference opponents such as Illinois and Mississippi while Kansas preyed on lower-level competition such as Central Michigan and Toledo. Once Big 12 Conference play opened, the teams continued to impress. Missouri went 1-1 in the first two games of the conference season, but then won five straight games, including a 41-10 blowout of Texas Tech and a 55-10 victory at Colorado. Going into this weekend, Missouri's offense is rolling. Missouri has scored more than 40 points in each of its past five games, and quarterback Chase Daniel is ninth in the nation in passing efficiency. go out and start preparing for the challenge." Rivalry trash talking borders on hatred SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 4B This year's matchup between the Missouri Tigers and the Kansas Jayhawks is like no other. With the Big 12 North title on the line and the possibility of the National Championship looming in the background for the victor, emotions are high for fans, students and players of both teams. With the Jayhawks ranked No. 2 and the Tigers ranked No. 3 in the AP Top 25 Poll, this weekend's game at Arrowhead is set for the biggest clash since the actual war that the rivalry is based on. Whether you like the name, there is no doubt about it: This is the Border War. Fans and sports writers alike have disregarded the title "Border Showdown" for the most part. Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel, CBS Sportline's Dennis Dodd and The Kansas City Star all have referred to the rivalry as the Border War. Former Kansas coach Don Fambrough still comes to practices to remind players that the rivalry actually is based on a war. With the game held at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., and with each team's tremendous success on the gridiron this season, security will definitely need to be on top of things. The last time Kansas and Missouri played in Kansas City was in 1945. The result was a 33-12 victory by the Tigers. Kansas leads the rivalry 54-52-9 and 12-6-3 in Kansas City. With about 80,000 fans in attendance, half of which most likely hate Kansas, this game could possibly be the most intense football game in this 117-year rivalry.

Ever since I was a little kid I can remember rooting against them, even when Kansas State was playing them. I believe that every time they win at anything, somewhere, a baby kitten dies. Every time they lose, I feel the world is a better place." Other students told of their personal encounters with Missouri fans. Ryan Knuth, Prairie Village junior, went to see Kansas play Missouri in 2004 and said the possibility of getting muddied was a reality. "I remember traveling to Columbia in 2004 with some friends, and Missouri fans threatened to beat me down if Kansas won," said Knuth. "When Kansas scored or made a big play, I was afraid to cheer. I didn't even want to risk taking off the black sweatshirt I had covering my Kansas shirt. I would say it's a Border War." a high school friend's choosing to go to Missouri instead of Kansas.

Arizona won the last game, a 61-49 victory at the Maui Invitational in 2005. Arizona sophomore Chase Budinger is a candidate for Pac-10 Player of the Year, but Kansas, even without Sherron Collins, has too much depth and the Allen Fieldhouse home-court advantage.

Beasley is averaging 30 points and 20 rebounds per game, and the Wildcats are 3-0. But Oregon reached the Elite Eight last season and has returning forward Malik Hairstion and sophomore guard Tajuan Porter, who stands 5-foot-6. If the Wildcats have a healthy David Hoskins, they'll have a shot, but the Wildcats are probably a few months away from being able to team a beat of Oregon's caliber. Winner: Oregon OU Oklahoma at USC Trojans Outlook: USC has super-talented freshman guard O.J.Mayo, but it also has a 96-81 loss to Mercer. Oklahoma has a talented freshman as well in forward Blake Griffin, but the Sooners most impressive victory is a 69-55 decision against Gardner-Webb.

Winner: Stanford Edited by Matt Erickson VOLLEYBALL Mahoney wraps up KU career after overcoming early injuries Senior's last season has been her best as a Jayhawk Caitlin Mahoney and Emily Brown play their last game as Kansas volleyball players 7 p.m. Wednesday at Texas Tech. Although their careers will end at the same time, that's about all Mahoney, a senior middle blocker, has had in common with the record-breaking Brown. Brown, a senior settter/right side, has received praise and accolades as the only player in KU history to start every game of a four-year career. Mahoney's career has been about struggles and overcome adversity It all started about a month before her freshman season in 2003. Mahoney, who led her a St. Louis high school team to 26 victories during her senior year, hurt her knee during a preseason workout. When the results came back, her worst fears came true. She would have to miss the entire season. To repay Bechard, Mahoney went to work. She took a redshirt and rehabled the injury for a year, only to re-injure her knee in practice after the first two games of the 2004 season. When she was finally healthy as a sophomore in 2005, Mahoney played in 14 matches, including an NCAA Tournament match against UCLA where she made her first career start. Mahoney had her best match of the season the next year against No. 1 Nebraska. She recorded a career-high two solo blocks. "Coach Bechard didn't have to take me," Mahoney said tearfully at Senior Night, "but he still did." Now, she's done being a Jayhawk. Mahoney might not have gained much attention for her career, but Kansas coach Ray Bechard noticed the work she did. "She's a lady who's overcome a lot, a fifth-year player who had a real serious injury early in her career, but she's been a tremendous teammate and asset for us." This has been Mahoney's best year yet. She's played in all but three matches and has totalled 115 kills and 64 blocks. match preview Edited by Matt Erickson Kansas at Texas Tech 7 p.m. Wednesday Lubbock, Texas PLAYERS TO WATCH Kansas Mellissa Grieb, sophomore defensive specialist Kansas (12-17, 5-14 Big 12) defeated Texas Tech (7-28, 1-17 Big 12) 3-0 on Sept. 22. The Jayhawks have an opportunity to sweep the season series against Texas Tech after losing both matches against Texas Tech last season. A flower with a petal and a stem. Grieb, an Olathe native, has played in all 29 matches and is second on the team with 25 service aces. The defensive specialist also has averaged 1.70 digs per game. Texas Tech Alicia Ostmeyer, senior middle blocker Ostmeyer is from Grinnell, Kans. — the same hometown as Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard. She had 11 kills and four blocks in Texas Tech's first match against Kansas and averaged 2.42 kills per game. Enroll in November and save $125! Thanksgiving to-do list. 1. Watch the parade 2.

"Whatever that means. He just used as an excuse for becoming a Tigers fan Blaspheme, I save." With this in mind, Kansas students and fans should take a reality check. There is a chance many Missouri fans will be in an altered state of mind and looking to start trouble with those wearing blue. On several Web sites Kansas and Missouri fans have already begun battling each other this past week about the rivalry. On a particular Web forum titled "Kansas/Missouri rivalry originated with REAL War" on CBSSportsline.com, you get a real sense of why Kansas' fans and students dislike Missouri One Missouri fan with the username "MIZZianfatic" posted, "This rivalry is more personal than any other rivalry in the country. It is HATRED. That being said, I hope God sends a tornado through the one town in the one state that he has forsaken. Remember Quantrill." This particular Tiger fan was referencing the infamous Quantrill's raid in which the pro-slavery William Quantrill led an all-out massacre of Lawrence residents. All of the spiteful, hate-filled comments toward fans and teams reached an abrupt halt when one Missouri fan "BludgeonMachine" said, "As far as the Missouri and Kansas rivalry is concerned. It did grow from some repulsive events in our states' histories and as I said in an earlier post, at least the guns and torches were laid to rest a long, long time ago and our states put their rivalry into the sporting events they compete against each other in." In about 24 hours on this Web forum, a group of Kansas and Missouri fans who hate each other finally reach some sort of peace. At Arrowhead on Saturday, fans will not have the luxury of sitting behind a keyboard and trashing each other then working things out. There is a great likelihood that if some of the remarks made on this forum start flying Saturday, things might get out of hand. There does not need to be a reenactment of Quantrill's raid for Mizzou fans, or the Pottawatomie Massacre for Kansas Saturday. Although emotions are high and fans are possibly inebriated, the trash talk should be left alone. There's no need to get beat up by the rival-team's fans and possibly end up in the custody of the Jackson County Police Department. Leave the Border War where it belongs; the football field. Edited by Jeff Briscoe FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "Missouri is an outstanding football team that has good numbers offensively," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "They are led by Chase Daniel, who is just an outseason player who throws the ball extremely well. He can beat you with his feet and he's a smart, poised player." comparing seasons Kansas has burst into the national spotlight because of a school-best 11-0 start on the shoulders of sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing and a consistent defense. The Kansas run defense is the seventh-best in the nation and has the third most interceptions in the country. Reesing is a contender for the Heisman Trophy and is ranked eight in passing efficiency — just one spot ahead of Daniel. "Our offense is one thing that's been awesome this year," junior linebacker Joe Mortensen said. "When they come out and score so well and don't turn the ball over, we can get up a few scores to make teams start passing the ball.

This weekend's nationally televised matchup has it all: explosive offenses, Heisman candidates, BCS bowl ramifications and some healthy disdain.

Jayhawks to travel to Dallas for Hoops for the Cure Classic WOMEN'S BASKETBALL BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com This weekend the women's basketball team will travel to Dallas to participate in the SMU Hoops for the Cure Classic. Kansas is one of four teams competing in this mini-tournament, and here's a look at the other three: Kansas will tip-off against the Bulldogs at 5 p.m. Friday. Drake (2-2) comes into the game on a roll after outting its last two opponents by a combined 51 points. The Builders return all five starters from last season, including seniors Lindsey Whorton and Iill Martin, who have each scored in double digits every game this season. D Kansas is the more talented team, but Drake is loaded with experience. Falling behind early wouldn't phase this squad, which means the Jayhawks' inability to put a team away when leading could not their first loss. Drama the two-headed monster will test Kansas defensively, and how it reacts will determine just how good this team is. WESTERN MICHIGAN The Broncos and host SUMU square off Friday night, and the winner of that game will play the winner of the O.K. Drake match up Saturday evening. Western Michigan (2-2) played its first three games in Albuquerque BRONCOS for the Women's Sport Foundation Challenge. Similar to Kansas, the Broncos have only two seniors, instead turning to talented underclassmen for most of their production. Junior Tiera DeLahoussaye and sophomores Sarah Dreher and Sara Save had the team in points early on. The Broncos are a year away from being a great team, but could still cause problems this season. The Mustangs look to be the favorites in their own tournament. SMU (1-1) opened its season at home against No. 11 Texas A&M, and the Angles MUSTANG needed a late rally to sack out a 62-57 victory. SMU responded with a victory against Texas A&M Corpus Christi, and it plays host to TCU tonight. The Mustangs return all five starters from a team that went 18-12 last season. They start three seniors, but are led by 5-foot-10 sophomore forward Delisha Wills, who averages 20 points and 10.5 rebounds. With a home crowd behind it, SMU should have little trouble getting past Western Michigan. If Kansas can get past Drake, this would be a great chance for coach Bonnie Henrickson to see how her team stacks up against a great team. Wissel's season, career comes to a close CROSS COUNTRY SMU BY TYLER PASSMORE tpassmore@kansan.com - Edited by Luke Morris One of the most storied careers in the University of Kansas cross country history came to an end yesterday. Senior Colby Wissel ended his season and career at the NCAA Championships. Wissel had a strong outing and finished 39th overall. With five BENOIT BERTHA Big 12 finishers before him. Wissel finished with an impressive time of Wissel 30. 36.1. The race was once again run at the Indiana State University course, which has become familiar to Wissel: In every one of Wissel's NCAA Championship appearances, he has competed on that course. Wissel beat his NCAA Championship time of last year (31:14.3) by almost a minute. Although Wissel posted a better time this year, the field was faster and he finished 13 spots lower than his 26th place finish his junior year. Both of those times were improvements from his sophomore year when he finished second for the lavhawks and 87th overall. cross country history, Wissel had an impressive year, finishing first for the Jayhawks in all but one race. Wissel also won the Kansas State dual meet. Although came early and often, Wissel finished fifth overall at both the Big 12 Championships and NCAA Regional. Wissel was the only Jawhawk to compete in the NCAA Championships because of his individual performance at the NCAA Regional. As a dominate career comes to an end, his time on campus will not. Wissel will still compete in track and field in the spring and will return as a graduate assistant next fall. As an All-American this year, Wissel has done things that have not happened in a long time in Kansas football notebook PLAYER OF THE WEEK Todd Reeing earned Big 12 Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors for his performance against Iowa State.

Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell shared the honor with Reeing, throwing for 420 yards on 47-of-72 passing. Special teams, specifically kickoff returns, could play a big part in Saturday's Border Showdown. Kansas is second in the nation in yards per kick return and Missouri is 14th. The Jayhawks' top kick-return weapon is junior wide receiver Marcus Herford, who has returned two kicks for touchdowns. Mis- Herford souir's best return man is freshman wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. Maclin RECRUITS VERBALLY COMMIT recently set the NCAA single-season record for all-purpose yards by a freshman and scored a touchdown on a kick return last week. Kansas picked up two more verbal commitments this week. According to Rivals.com, defensive ends duane Zlatnik and Nicholas Plato have agreed to attend Kansas. Zlatnik is a 6-foot-4, 260-pound native of Rossville, who was rated as a three-star prospect by Rivals. Plato, from Edwardsville, Ill., is listed at 6-foot-6 and 228 pounds and could play either defensive end or tight end.

The Kansas really needs to get better on defense. Yes, the Sons of Steal are still doing what they do best, but teams are routinely shooting in the high 40 percents this year. That's not going to cut it when the Jayhawks play good competition. Last year, they had success because teams rarely scored 65 points against them. They need to bring back that defense by pressuring the other team's guards and forcing bad shots. WHO TO WATCH last time out trainers said he could play only about 10 minutes. Now? Self didn't know for sure how long Rush would be ALEXANDRA RUBER Rush able to play after the Washburn game, but he said there was a possibility Rush could play as much as 25 minutes.

At least 1,000 seats — most of those in the student section — were empty for the Washburn game last Thursday. It's a perfect storm for a low turnout Wednesday night. All the ingredients are there: holiday break, a less-than-stellar opponent and an upcoming big game Sunday against Arizona. Let's hope Allen Fieldhouse doesn't lose its luster Wednesday and there aren't too many empty seats. HEAR YE, HEAR YE "You have two of the best 10 players in the league who aren't out there full-speed in Sherron and Brandon, so I don't know if we would look better if we had everybody healthy and full-speed.

We haven't been out there that long, but there are some things we're going to guard a certain way, and you forget. Those kill you." - Kansas coach Bill Self Kansas 2-0 THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE MARK DEMINGTON Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Robinson did turn the ball over four times against Washburn, but he continues to be a steady hand at point like he has been the past two years. ★★★★★ Northern Arizona 3-1 M. KEJIRO Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard Here's a sign of the apocalypse: Chalmers didn't have any steals in the last game. Expect him to get at least four tonight to make up for it. THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE ★★★★ Josh Wilson, 6-foot-2 Junior guard Wilson was first last season in the Big Sky with six assists per game, and he's one of two players in Division I to rank in the top 15 in assists the past two seasons. In three games this year, Wilson is averaging 11.3 points and 5.3 assists per game. Rodrick Stewart, 6-foot-4 senior guard Stewart's dunk was the best jam at Allen Fieldhouse in the last three years. Oh, his block? That was the best rejection in three years, too. ★★★☆★ 1 PETER E. TOMBES ★★★★ Kaun's second-half performance of 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting was the best thing he has done since scoring a career-high 25 points two years ago. If he can do that consistently, which is far from a guarantee, this frontline will be scary. Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Arthur's few minutes of dominance every game are getting old. The season is early, but he needs to develop some consistency fast. Sasha Kaun, 6-foot-11 senior center ★★★★ ★★★☆☆ ANTONIO CHAGOY Nathan Geiser, 6-foot-4 junior guard Geiser can straight shoot it. He's 9-of-15 this season from three-point range, and last season he hit a record 11 three-point shots in a row during a three-game span. Geiser, a Tonkawa, Okla., native is averaging 10.3 points per game. Nathan Geiser, 6-foot-4 junior guard ★★★☆☆ Matt Johnson, 6-foot-2 junior guard Johnson, a transfer from Sierra College, is averaging 6 points per game in his first season with the Lumberjacks. 15 ★★☆☆☆ Brian McCurdy, 6-foot-9 senior forward Ryan McCurdy, 6-foot-9 senior forward McCurdy, a Gilbert, Ariz., native, started 29 games and averaged 8 points and 5 rebounds per game. With the 6-9 Landry, and 6-6 Zarko Comagic, NAU has a front line that can match up with Kansas size- wise. ★ ★ ★ ★ 100 Zarko Comagic, 6-foot-6 junior forward Zarko Comagic, 6-foot-6 junior forward Comagic, a native of Serbia and a transfer from Central Arizona College, knows how to score. He averaged 20.3 points per game and 9.1 rebounds per game last season. But he hasn't figured it out this season, averaging only 5 points per game. THE SIXTH MAN UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ★★☆★★ Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward TOMMIE GRIFFITH Let's put the "Should Darnell Jackson start?" talk to sleep right now. Jackson has done better than Kaun, but he plays best as a spark off the bench. He's also three This inches shorter than Kaun, and if Kansas wants to go smaller, it would be better off using four guards and Arthur. ★★★★☆ KANSAS 25 WILSON THE SIXTH MAN Kyle La Landry but so w That m Jayha the LANSAS 25 Wilson Brandon Rush Kyle Landry, 6-foot-9 senior forward Landry is the Lumberjacks' best player, but so far, he's come off the bench. That may change against the Jayhawks. Even if he comes off the bench, he'll play starter's minutes. Kansas can start scoring again. The loss of sophomore guard Sherron Collins noticeably hurt the Jayhawks in the first few minutes of last Thursday's game against Washburn. He is the leader of their fast-break offense. Without him, the rest of the team looked out of place and sluggish. The loss of Collins and not-quite-healthy Brandon Rush means Kansas needs to look down low if it wants to put up a respectable number of points. Of course, that also mean Darrell Arthur needs to make up his mind to be a dominant player, and Sasha Kaun needs to hold onto the ball. ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF... CH WILSON N ★★★☆ Brandon Rush Rustin Dodd PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF... Northern Arizona makes 45 percent of its three-pointers, give or take a few percentage points. Yes, the Lumberjacks will launch threes until their arms get sore. They made 10 in the first half against UMKC a few days ago. If they can make that many against the Jayhawks, the game will be close. Here's how the Kansas defense can get better: Defend the three-pointers. Make sure there's a hand in the face of every Northern Arizonaan every time he dares shoot the ball from behind the arc. The Lumberjacks will ss, and their offense will be ruined. Oh yeah, Phog Allen also will roll in his grave if more than 2,000 seats are empty. NAU TIP-OFF AT A GLANCL The one advantage Northern Arizona has? The Lumberjacks have experience playing in Allen Fieldhouse. The one disadvantage? They lost 91-57 in Kansas' 2006-07 season opener. The Big Sky conference coaches tabbed Northern Arizona to finish fourth in the Big Sky after winning the regular season conference title last season. The Lumberjacks and the Jayhawks also have two common opponents - Arizona and UMKC. Northern Arizona lost to Arizona 76-69 and took care of UMKC 76-62. Little is expected of Northern Arizona, but it might be Kansas'toughest test thus far. WHOTOWATCH Kyle Landry, 6-foot-9 senior forward Landry, a Calgary, Alberta, native, has been the Lumberjacks leading scorer this season after averaging 10.1 points PETER GABBALDINO Landry per game in 2006-2007. Landry tallied 23 points on 8-10 shooting against UMKC and had 17 points off the bench against Arizona. He's averaging 18.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. If Kansas forwards can shut down Landry, Northern Arizona will struggle to score. QUESTION MARK Will Northern Arizona catch Kansas looking ahead? The Lumberjacks are from Arizona, but they aren't THE Arizona — as in the University of Arizona Wildcats. That team comes into Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday for one of Kansas' marquee nonconference matchups. But Kansas would be wise to be sharp against Northern Arizona. The Lumberjacks have 10 new players on their roster and stayed within seven against Arizona. HEARYE. HEARYE "I think they are good.

In 1997, when Kansas was No. 1 in the nation, Arizona defeated the Jayhawks 85-82. KANSAN FILE PHOTO BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com More than 10 years later, Jerod Haase still thinks about Kansas' loss to Arizona in the 1997 Sweet 16. Sitting on the bench in the second half with a wrist injury, Haase could only watch as his Jayhawks — the No. 1 team in the nation — went down to Mike Bibby, Miles Simon and the eventual NCAA-champion Arizona Wildcats. "I'm just as frustrated and just as discouraged as I was then," Haase said. "It's something that has stuck with me for 10 years." The loss has stuck with most Kansas basketball fans, too. With a senior-laden squad led by Haase, Jacque Vaughn and Scot Pollard, No. 1 Kansas also had future NBA lottery picks Paul Pierce and Raef LaFrentz as well as second-round pick Ryan Roberston. Kansas, with only one loss going in, was the unanimous favorite to win the NCAA tournament. But Kansas' loss to Arizona did more than tarnish the legacy of the 1997 team. It also instigated an unlikely rivalry between two college basketball powerhouses. On Sunday, Kansas will play Arizona for the eighth time since 1996. And although Kansas defeated Arizona in the 1996 Sweet 16 to advance to the Elite Eight, the 1997 game was the true beginning of the rivalry. "You're taking one of the premier programs on the West Coast and one of the premier programs in the Midwest and matching them up against each other," said Haase, who is now an assistant coach at North Carolina. "It was without a question two heavyweights going at it." Haase's college roommate, former Kansas guard C.B. McGrath, was around for six of the Jayhawk-Wildcat battles, with three as a player and three as a coach. McGrath said a sense of mutual respect between the programs started with the coaches. Former Kansas coach Roy Williams and Arizona coach Lute Olson are still good friends to this day. Kansas has inflicted some heartbreak on Arizona as well. In 2003, No. 2 seed Kansas, led by seniors Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison, defeated No. 1 seed Arizona in Anaheim, Calif., to go to the Final Four. Arizona won the most recent game of the series; a 61-49 victory at the Maui Invitational in 2005. That game is probably one that junior guards Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush would like to forget. Playing the first game of their careers, Chalmers had seven turnovers and Rush had four. Chalmers said that game was "back in the day". "I think I've grown a lot" Chalmer's said. "That was my freshman year, not knowing a lot, still trying to play high school ball. I don't think I was prepared like I am now." So on Sunday, Kansas and Arizona will hook up once again. For Kansas fans, a victory by Chalmers, Rush and senior guard Russell Robinson might just take a little of the sting out of that painful 1997 memory. But for players like McGrath and Haase, that sting is not going away. One year after Kansas lost to Arizona in 1997, Kansas faced off against Arizona in a regular season game in the Great Eight in Chicago. McGrath's Jayhawks beat the Wildcats 90-87. "I remember having a good time in the locker room, and it did feel good to beat them," McGrath said. "But nothing is going to ever erase the memory of '97 when we had the best team in the country."

Dane Cook’s new CD DVD Rough Around the Edges Live from Madison Square Garden to available at a store now SPRINT CENTER Tickets available at the 'Sprint Center Box Office, all Ticketmaster outlets, ticketmaster.com or charge by phone at 816.931.3330 The Kansas baseball team released its 2008 schedule Monday and it offers the Jayhawks very little margin for error if it's to reach the postseason for the second time in three years. Kansas will play 26 games against 12 schools that reached the NCAA tournament in 2007. Of Kansas' 61 regular-season games, 34 will be on the road, as the Jayhawks will travel as far west as Kona, Hawai, and as far east as Bradenton, Fla. The 2006 Jayhawks traveled the most of any of Price's teams and earned a spot in the NCAA tournament. Price hopes that same approach will net the same results in 2008. "It's a challenge," Price said. "Not only with the opposition that we're going to play, but obviously with the various places that we're going, as well." After its traditional season-opening series at Hawai'i-Hilo, Feb. 22-24, Kansas will face its first competition from last year's NCAA tournament. Kansas will play a midweek game at Arkansas on Feb. 27, and continue east to play three games in the Music City Classic in Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 29-March 2, including one against Vanderbilt, which was the No.1 overall seed in last year's NCAA tournament. "It's a great test," Price said. "We're trying to play some of the best teams in America on the road and help our RPI early in the season and, on top of that, when you play Arkansas and Vanderbilt, it gives you a chance to prepare for the type of pitching you'll see in the Big 12 Conference. If we can survive the nonconference schedule, we'll be completely prepared to play in the Big 12." COMMENTARY Kansas' home opener is slated for March 5 against the LeMoyne College Dolphins of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, who went 34-19 last season and reached the NCAA tournament. Serious contenders fill team's schedule BY SHAWN SHROYER Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price has never shied away from taking his Kansas baseball team on the road to play top-notch competition. shroyer@kansan.com "We've broke almost every other streak there is since I've been here, so we've got to get out of the gate early and have a chance to be at the top of the standings, rather than trying to fight our way all the way up through it again. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they're the preseason No. 1 in the country, too," Price said of Texas. Kansas' conference slate opens the fourth weekend of the season at Texas, March 14-16, where Kansas hasn't won since 2002. Price admitted he'd rather play Texas later in the season, but a series victory would give Kansas a significant advantage over the rest of the Big 12 from the outset. Price said hed contemplated playing in the tournament the last five years because he wanted to play Big Ten competition. He said a bonus of playing in the tournament was that it wouldn't cost his players any class time. Of course, Price found out last season just how tentative schedules can be when weather forced 15 of Kansas' games to be rescheduled or cancelled. This season he's prepared for the worst again. "I already have a bunch of calendar dates circled with 'TBA' and I've already talked to guys about makeup dates," Price said. Following that tournament, Kansas will focus its efforts on Big 12 competition, playing at home against Texas A&M, at Baylor and at home against Texas Tech the next three weekends. - Edited by Luke Morris In May, though, the Jayhawks won't have to play outside of Kansas until the Big 12 Championship. Kansas will play host to Oklahoma. May 2-4, Oral Roberts, May 7, Missouri, May 9-11, and then play the first game of its three-game series with Kansas State, May 16-18, at home before playing the next two games in Manhattan. Perhaps the toughest stretch in Kansas' schedule will come at the end of April, when it travels to Nebraska, April 18-20, Wichita State, April 22, Oklahoma State, April 25-27, and plays Missouri at Kauffman Stadium, April 29. All four opponents made the NCAA tournament last season and will likely be ranked at some point this season. "I like the fact that we get to finish the season with Kansas State. I think that's really special," Price said. "Right now the Missouri-Kansas baseball rivalry might be as good as any in our league and certainly it's only going to be heightened by what happens this weekend. When the football game's over, it'll put even more at stake when we play in May." "That might be the toughest eightgame stretch anybody in America's going to play," Price said. "Hopefully we'll be clicking on all cylinders by then." tournament-tested Here are Kansas' 2008 opponents who made last season's NCAA postseason tournament.

Next thing they knew, the Denver Broncos found themselves in a spot they only could have dreamed of a few weeks ago --- tied for first place in the AFC West. Jay Cutler threw touchdown passes of 41 and 48 yards and little-known Glenn Martinez and Andre Hall added to Denver's slew of big scoring plays Monday night in a 34-20 victory over the Tennessee Titans. ASSOCIATED PRESS Hall, a first-year player with eight carries this year, turned his ninth into a 62-yard score to help the Broncos regain control of the game after they'd watched a 17-point lead slip to seven. The Broncos improved to 5-5, good enough to tie San Diego for the league in the woeful West. But suddenly, the Broncos, who have 44-7 and 41-3 losses on their wildly disparate scorecard this year, are playing like real contenders. They piled up 359 yards against the Titans, who were missing Albert Haynesworth on the defensive line but nonetheless came in with the second-ranked defense in the league.

"David Padgett (college) career is probably coming to an end," coach Rick Pitino said during a news conference Monday. "We're all devastated for David and for the team." The fifth-year senior banged the knee in practice last week, Pitino said, and hit it again as he tried to draw a charging foul during No. 6 Louisville's 84-53 win over Jackson State on Sunday. Pitino initially said the injury appeared to be a bruise. On Monday, Pitino laid out three scenarios for Padgett. The knee could heal on its own and he could return for the season's stretch run, appeal to the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility, or sit the rest of the season and prepare for the NBA draft. Padgett has had a history of injuries but began this season pain-free and moving as well as he had since transferring from Kansas after his freshman year. He broke his foot in a pickup game a month before his sophomore season, then sprained a ligament in his left knee two months later. He underwent surgery on both knees in March 2006 and didn't play for five months. Padgett estimated himself at 85 percent last year, averaging 9.5 points and 5.6 rebounds. expected to be the backbone of a team that is already missing senior forward Juan Palacios until December because of a knee injury. Padget's latest injury has been the hardest to take, Pitino said. A team captain, Padgett was "It's the toughest to take personally, because I've seen him fight so hard, be so determined to come back and help the team, so optimistic about having a great senior year team-wise and personally," Pitino said. "It's real difficult to swallow." NEED CASH? Get Instant Money Today Donate plasma.

How ironic, then, that Thanksgiving will mark 10 months to the day a decision that has put a damper on the beginning of the holiday season. On Jan. 22, Lew Perkins and the Kansas Athletics Department announced they were ripping this year's football game against Missouri away from Lawrence and moving it to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Light Up Your Night Join us for LIVE music Marbour Wights Wednesday Nights Since 1936 1031 Massachusetts Even at the time, the decision was met with lukewarm acceptance. Little did Perkins know that 10 months later, this year's Border Showdown would turn out to be the biggest game in the history of Kansas football. Little did he know he would be risking millions of dollars' worth of BCS money and exposure just to earn $1 million and change the next two years by agreeing to play the next two games on the other side of the border in Arrowhead Stadium As a result of Perkins' cash grab, Jayhawk Nation will be divided in the stands on Saturday, unable to rally behind its football team as one.

Instead of all of Lawrence being able to unite outside of Memorial Stadium for ESPN's College GameDay, overwhelming any Missouri presence, the Kansas faithful who rise before the sun and pay $22 for parking to make it to Arrowhead before 8 a.m. will have to compete with Tigers fans for position on GameDay. And there'd better be extra security working the game, because after Lee Corso dons his headgear at 11 a.m., fans will have nothing to do but booze until the gates open. Alcohol plus fans who hate each others' guts is an ominous combination. While Perkins chose to ignore the people of Lawrence, I will not.

Without star safety Pig Brown. Missouri could be lax in its pass defense this weekend. With speedy wide receivers Marcus Henry and Dezmon Briscoe, the Jayhawk offense could pick up big chunks of yardage through the air. Border showdown takes on unprecedented implications KANSAS VS. MISSOURI 7 p.m. Saturday, Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO The Missouri quarterback has been unstoppable through the first 11 games of the season, posting the ninth-best passing efficiency in the nation and torching defenses with an accurate deep ball and quick feet. A disruptive pass rush from defensive ends John Larson and Russell Brorsen will be the key to holding the Missouri sensation silent. Can Kansas contain Chase Daniel? Kansas 11-0,7-0 Big 12 Conference OFFENSE The Jayhawks posted 566 yards of offense last weekend against Iowa State and that was without junior left tackle Anthony Collins. If Collins — perhaps Kansas' best offensive player — is healthy enough to participate this weekend, the Kansas offense could roll its way to another 40-point performance. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing has legitimately entered the Heisman race, senior wide receiver Marcus Henry is averaging 19.5 yards per catch and senior running back Brandon McAnderson recently eclipsed 1000 rushing yards this season. On top of all of that, the team hasn't turned the ball over since Oct. 20. ★★★★★ After facing some tough opponents and falling toward the middle of the pack in several statistical categories, the Kansas defense rebounded in a big way last Saturday. Kansas gave up just 234 total yards, intercepted a pass and held Iowa State to 33 percent on third-down conversion attempts. A run defense anchored by senior defensive tackle James McClinton and augmented by a fleet of hard-hitting linebackers has forced offenses to turn to their pass game early and give up valuable time of possession. The health of junior defensive backs Patrick Resby and Kendrick Harper could be key against a deep and talented Missouri team. ★★★★★ SPECIAL TEAMS Kansas' performance on special teams has been its weakest link but is far from abysmal. Junior wide receiver Marcus Herford is eighth in the nation in yards per kick return, and senior kicker Scott Webb is closing out his collegiate career with the same consistency he has shown over the past three seasons. Both sides of the punt game — returning and punting — have been troublesome all season but have not seriously hampered the Jayhawks. An often overlooked area of concern could be the team's kickoff coverage unit: Kansas is giving up an average of 22.5 yards per return, making it 86th in the nation. ★★★☆☆ MOMENTUM It's tough to find words to describe just how perfectly everything is going for the Jayhawks right now. The team has lived up to its end of the bargain so far, winning every game (often in blowout fashion) to run its record to 11-0, the best in school history. Kansas' competitors for a spot in the national title game have also helped the Jayhawks out considerably. Oregon fell to Arizona last week and Oklahoma lost to Texas Tech, pushing Kansas into second place in all of the polls and the BCS Rankings. All Kansas needs to do to reach the BCS National Championship is win two more games, and winning hasn't been a problem for this round. ★★★★★ COACHING Each member of the Kansas coaching staff seems to project a certain mindset onto the Jayhawk players. Defensive coordinator Bill Young fields a resilient unit that bends without ever breaking. Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner has a playbook full of ingenuity that fits his personnel to a T. And coach Mark Mangino seems to have convinced every last player on the roster to buy into his "one game at a time" approach. Asher Fusco Todd Reesing Missouri 10-1,6-1 Big 12 Conference OFFENSE ★★★★★ Imagine a swarm of bees viciously attacking an unsuspecting pedestrian, who can swat a few away but can't escape all of them. That's the Missouri offense. The Tigers have so many lethal weapons, it's a game of pick your poison for opponents. Junior quarterback Chase Daniel averages 326 passing yards per game, which ranks fifth in the nation. Daniel has a strong receiving corps headlined by freshman Jeremy Maclin and two of the nation's best tight ends. Senior Martin Rucker and junior Chase Coffman, the two tight ends, have combined for more than 1,200 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. Defenses can usually take one away, but then the other strikes for a big game. Senior running back Tony Temple keeps the offense balanced and is fully recovered from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for two games earlier in the season. Like a raving group of bees, the offense will sting the Jayhawks. The key for Kansas will be to limit those stings. The Tigers lost their best defensive player and leading tackler, Cornelius "Pig" Brown, three weeks ago. But they seem to have adjusted without him and junior Justin Garrett has stepped up to take his starting spot. Junior free safety William Moore is first in the Big 12 and tied for fourth in the nation with six interceptions per game. But the pass defense hasn't exactly been indestructible. In fact, it's the one weakness on an otherwise outstanding Missouri team. Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman and Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee found it easy to lead their offenses down the field on Missouri in the last two weeks. But the front four are experts on collapsing the pocket. Junior defensive ends Stryker Sulak and Tommy Chavis pressure quarterbacks off the edges and Junior Evander Hood and senior Lorenzo Williams take care of the interior line. Linebackers Sean Weatherspoon and Brock Christopher lead a strong rush defense. DEFENSE ★★★☆☆ EARLING YANKEES SPECIAL TEAMS 12 tion cor adr prov Missouri. The Tigers do rank last in the nation in net punting but they often win the field position game regardless of Macin. The Tigers have a strength that many teams would like but in reality, few have. That strength is freshman Jeremy Maclin, who is one of the most exciting returners in the nation. He handles both punt and kickoff return duties and has scored three touchdowns on the year through returns. Maclin is the catalyst that can change the whole complexion of a game in a split second. Junior Jeff Wolfert serves as a consistent kicker for ★★★ ☆ MOMENTUM A quarterback with Heisman candidacy on the line, a kick returner that's one of the nation's most exciting players and a championship showdown with a hated rival equals unprecedented momentum for the Tigers. Like Kansas, Missouri still has its eye on the Big 12 Championship and possibly, a national championship. The only possible concern could be having too much adrenaline to concentrate on what will prove to be a thrilling rivalry game. ★★★★★ Kansas fans may not like to hear this, but Gary Pinkel is not only one of the Big 12's best coaches but also one of the nation's best coaches. He's also one of Mark Mangino's main competitors in the national Coach of the Year race as they are both finalists on the watch list. Much like Mangino, Pinkel revived a sinking MU football program taking the helm in 2001. Just four years ago, the Tigers finished their streak of four straight losing seasons. Now, they're competing for a national title. COACHING MU KICK-OFF AT A GLANCE It doesn't get any bigger than this. The Tigers look to inch closer to their goal of a Big 12 Championship in front of a national prime time television audience against their loathed border rivals. Saturday's game at Arrowhead Stadium will be the 116th version of the Border Showdown and first at a neutral site since 1945. But it's also the most important game in the history of Missouri football. BY THE NUMBERS (2007 Averages and National Rank) 334 ypg — 5th passing offense 42. 45 ppg — 6th scoring offense 172. 27 ypg - 37th rushing offense 23 ppg -- 33th scoring defense ★★★★★ Case Keefer 121. 55 ypg — 29th rushing defense 258. 27 ypg — 96th passing defense PLAYER TO WATCH Freshman wide receiver Jeremy Maclin Maclin had a big week last week. He gathered 360 all-purpose yards, which brought his season to total more than 2,300 yards. It was enough to break the NCAA record for all-purpose yards by a freshman and earn Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Maclin Marlin Week recognition. As only a freshman, Maclin is on the cusp of turning into the Midwest's version of Reggie Bush with his variety of talents. QUESTION MARKS 》 Can Missouri take care of the ball? The Tigers have lost five more turnovers than the Jayhawks on the season. That may seem like a minimal margin but in a game like this, the smallest miscue could prove to be the difference. And so far this season, Kansas has secured the ball with slightly more vigilance. 》 Can Chase Daniel live up to the hype? Daniel has been outstanding all year but the Border Showdown will be the first time he is exposed to a national audience. Missouri has put an especially big target on his back this week by aggressively starting his Heisman campaign with a Web site, www.chasetheheisman.com. The stakes are high for everyone in this game — but especially Daniel.

The University of Missouri won the "competition" with $8,000 in donations, and the University of Kansas had about $4,000. Jennifer Alderdice, KU director of student programs, said the idea for the food drive started last summer, and the two schools thought the famous rivalry the teams shared would be an incentive to donate to the food drive. She said it was good for the two schools to work together and benefit the Kansas City community, the host of the game.

At 2 p.m. Sunday, Jerry Neverve was cleaning up the mess after Kansas lost 36-28 to Missouri Saturday night at Arrowhead Stadium. Neverve, owner of the Red Lyon Tavern located at 944 Mass. St., said by 6 p.m. Saturday night, the bar was already filled to capacity with 101 fans wanting to watch the game. He said during the first half when Kansas played lethargically, the crowd seemed a little somber, but after halftime he said the intensity of the crowd picked up as Kansas played its way back into the game. While the cheers weren't enough to help propel Kansas to victory, Nevere said that following the "In the second half, everybody got into it." Neverve said. Ian Stine, manager at Set 'Em Up Jacks, 1800 E. 23rd St., said at 5 p.m. Saturday, the restaurant was full. He said most of the customers who had dinner also stayed to watch the game. He said during the first half, many in the crowd complained about the officiating and Kansas' mistakes on offense. Stine added that the crowd was intense throughout the game, but that ended when the final second ticked off the clock. Catlyn Burkett, Quinton's Bar and Grill bartender, said the downstairs of the bar was packed with mostly college students. "With it being such a big game and people so into it,it really didn't hurt us too bad." "It was pretty exciting until the end of the game," Burkett said. "Then there was a lot of anger and dissappointment, and everyone pretty much left." "The air went out pretty quick," he said. game, many fans discussed how Kansas would have won the game if it had been played at Memorial Stadium. Cami Wooden, a garment buyer for Jayhawk Bookstore and a Council Grove junior, said the bookstore was extraordinarily busy. She said it had more sales on Saturday than it did on KELSEY ALLEN Jock's Nitch sales associate Restaurants and bars weren't the only businesses cashing in on Saturday's game. Apparel stores also experienced a burst of patronage. "Black Friday," usually known as the biggest shopping day of the year. "Our Mizzou shirts are pretty much sold out, and everyone was gearing up for the cold weather," Wooden said. Wooden said it was hard to tell if moving the game to Kansas City affected sales. "It would have been different if the game was here, because then people would actually be walking by the store, instead of having to stop in Lawrence to buy stuff," she said. "I imagine it helped businesses in Kansas City more than here." Jock's Nitch Sporting Goods also had large crowds for the game. Kelsey Allen, sales associate and Olathe junior, said it was almost as busy as around Christmas. She said the store was almost completely sold out of stocking caps and gloves. She said that because so many people were out shopping during Thanksgiving, she didn't feel that moving the game away from Lawrence affected the store's sales too much. "With it being such a big game, and people so into it, it really didn't hurt us too bad," Allen said. No one was more disappointed with the loss than fans at Arrowhead. Reid Robson, Overland Park freshman, attended the game. He said it was probably the biggest sporting event he had ever been to, even though it didn't end the way he wanted. "I knew after we missed the first two field goals that KU wasn't looking like we usually do, and that we were going to lose," Robson said. Brad Todd, Seneca sophomore, also went to the game. He was disappointed by the loss, but thought the better team won the game. He said playing the game at Memorial Stadium wouldn't have made a difference. "Not the way we played." Todd said. "They dominated our offensive line. We couldn't run the ball." Todd said had the Jayhawks won the game, he and some friends would have followed the team this weekend to the Alamodome in San Antonio for the Big 12 championship game. "It was really disappointing," he said. "It kind of ruined our season, But we'll still get a good bowl. But it hurts to lose to Missouri."

Anna, to find her mobile home engulfed in flames early Thanksgiving Day. The blond heeler, an abused stray dog Jennings had adopted from an animal shelter, whined and howled until they ran outside. "I had an awful headache The place was filled with smoke," she told the Idaho Statesman for a story published Saturday. But Jennings said she ran back into her burning home to save some items. "I'm a janitor in town," she said. "I had everyone's keys in my backpack. I had to go back and get them." She crawled back into her burning home in Idaho City, Idaho, about 40 miles northeast of Boise, with Anna close at her side. But Jennings said she became disoriented and was nearly overcome by smoke. She tried to get back out but crawled in the wrong direction, heading toward the pantry instead of the door. Anna showed her the way out. "She pushed on me; she nudged me out the door," Jennings said. The roof collapsed as Jennings, barefoot and wearing only pajamas, ran to some trees in the 15-degree weather. Jennings suffered burns to her feet and then frostbite. Anna and two other dogs Jennings has were not injured. "She's a hero," said Jennings, an artist who has lived in the mountain town since 1975.

Babe the Blue Ox awaits reattachment of head KLAMATH, Calif. — Babe the blue Ox has lost his head. Ax-wielding Paul Bunyan is not a suspect. The head fell off the 35-foot tall statue of giant lumberjack Bunyam's mythical sidekick Tuesday, landing snout down on the pavement in the northern California town of Klamath. KU1nfo daily KU info Forty years ago today, KU unveiled plans for a towering 25-story skyscraper across Jayhawk Blvd. from Strong Hall. Lucky for us, funding fell short, and Wescoe Hall is no more than four stories tall as a result. Jeff laForest, manager of the gift shop where the statue stands, says water was seeping inside the statue. That weakened the wood inside the structure and caused the collapse. LaForest said he will repair Babe as soon as possible. In the meantime, he plans to use a diminutive stuffed animal head as a placeholder in time for the town's annual Christmas light show. "It's kind of sad isn't it?" LaForest said. Italian man purchases Texas town through eBay SAN ANTONIO — Someone in italied placed the winning bid of $3.8 million on Friday for an unpopulated, one-house Texas town online. No one lives permanently in the 13-acre town of Albert, about 60 miles north of San Antonio, but the tavern created from the frame of the old general store is open on weekends. The town also includes a pavilion, an 85-year-old dance hall, a tractor shed, a three-bedroom house, plus peach and pecan orchards. But before town owner Bobby Cave sign the deed over, he must ensure the eBay bid is legitimate. Cave said that unlike the usual items bought through eBay, there are no contractual obligations when it comes to real estate. "There's just not any way to insist that a guy from Italy write me a check for three million," said Cave, 47, an Austin real estate agent. The reserve price for the town was $2.5 million. Even if the deal doesn't go through, Cave said he had about five other prospective buyers genuinely interested in the town. Bridgeville, in northern California, was the first town ever put on the eBay auction block. The 83 acres were twice sold on the site, in 2002 (that deal fell through) and again last year.

Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Barack Obama (D-ILI.) continue to debate their competing national health care plans as the Iowa caucuses approach in January. Clinton holds a big lead in Obama in national pollings, though Obama has improved his Iowa poll numbers. ASSOCIATED PRESS DES MOINES, Iowa - Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama intensified the bickering Sunday over their competing health plans, reflecting the crucial stakes as Iowa's leadoff caucuses in early January approach. Clinton said Obama's proposal was "crafted for politics" and the latest example of his shifting policy positions. Obama said much the same of her approach. "Senator Obama and I have been having a debate about health care for a couple of days, and it's a very important debate," Clinton said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "The difference is my health care plan covers every American and Senator Obama's plan will not." Obama focused on Clinton's proposal to require that people buy coverage. His approach carries no such mandate, which he says is potentially costly for consumers. "The reason Americans don't have health insurance isn't because they don't want it. It's because they can't afford it, which is why my plan doesn't have a mandate and goes further in cutting costs than any other proposal offered in this race." Obama said during a campaign stop to discuss health care issues. He said people could save up to $2,500 a year under his plan — more than any of his rivals. Clinton disputed that, saying very similar cost savings are built into her plan. "He leaves 15 million people uncovered," the New York senator said. "It's a plan crafted for politics, not for people." Obama responded: "Hillary's idea is that we should force everyone to buy insurance. But this is yet another issue where she is not being straight with the American people because she refuses to tell us how much she would fine people if they couldn't afford insurance" The Illinois senator said it was another instance of maneuvering on Clinton's part. "So unless she can answer those questions, this is yet another calculation that's more about getting through an election than actually solving the health care problems," he said. Obama credited the new criticism "This is politics," Obama said in an interview With The Associated Press. "This is her apparently being concerned about her standing in Iowa." from Clinton to his improved poll numbers in Iowa. Clinton has amassed a big lead in national polls, and a win in Iowa could give her would give her an enormous amount of momentum. >> REPUBLICANS VISP LEFT JOHN --before a crush of news cameras. Romney, he said, "had one of the weaker records of any governor on economics." ASSOCIATED PRESS Republicans Mitt Romney, left, and Rudy Giuliani confront one another during a campaign event. The presidential contends over health care and economic issues that spilled over into Sunday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Giuliani, Romney compare records ASSOCIATED PRESS HUDSON, N.H. — The backand-forth backbiting between Republican presidential rivals Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney spilled over into Sunday as Giuliani contended that the former Massachusetts governor has fumbled on health care and economic matters. Asked by a diner patron about Romney's health care program while governor, Giuliani said Romney "made a mistake" by mandating coverage for all Massachusetts residents. "When you mandate it, it ends up costing you much more money," said Giuliani, a former New York mayor. Romney's Massachusetts program denies a tax credit, worth about $200, to residents who fail to obtain health insurance, which the state subsidizes for lower-income families. Romney defends the program, saying such incentives nudge more people into getting insurance, which benefits individuals and society in general. The customer at Suzie's Diner, who identified himself as a bus driver and former Massachusetts resident, made clear that he did not like Romney's record and gave Giuliani an opening to take on his rival. Giuliani, who trails Romney in polls in New Hampshire as the Jan. 8 primary approaches, obliged After a campaign event in Newport on Sunday, Romney told The Associated Press: "Let's compare our records. Mayor Giuliani left a budget deficit of $3 billion — a $3 billion budget gap that Mayor (Michael) Bloomberg called a financial crisis. I left a $2 billion rainy day fund and my last budget left a $500 million surplus." The two candidates had gone at it on Saturday, too. Each tried to characterize the other as a wasteful spender while claiming himself a champion of fiscal restraint.

Bucking some common notions, a University of Minnesota study has found that school lunch sales don't decline when healthier meals are served, and that more nutritious anches don't necessarily cost schools more to produce. "The conventional wisdom that you can't serve healthier meals because kids won't eat them is false." "I think people underestimate the willingness of kids to eat healthier foods." MARGO WOOTAN Director of nutrition policy, Center for Sciencein the Public Interest said Benjamin Senauer, one of three economists who wrote the study. Previous studies have concluded that students prefer fatty foods and that healthier meals cost more to make, the authors noted. When the researchers crunched all the numbers they found that schools serving the healthiest lunches did not see a falloff in demand. While serving better meals does entail higher labor costs, the study found, that's offset by lower costs for more nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables compared with processed foods. However, many districts need to upgrade. The study, which appears in the December issue of the Review of Agricultural Economics, analyzed five years of data for 330 Minnesota public school districts. It looked at compliance with federal standards for calories, nutrients and fats. The study's conclusions rang true for Jean Ronnel, director of nutrition services for St. Paul Public Schools, which serves more than 46,000 meals daily. The district was held up by the authors as a model for others. Ronnei said the percentage of St. Paul kids eating school lunches had increased in recent years at the same time the district was offering more fruits and vegetables. "That doesn't mean we don't have a hot dog on our menu. We do... In our case it's a turkey low-fat hot dog," she said. Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, said she was pleased to see evidence that schools can offer nutritious meals kids will eat without higher costs. "I think people underestimate the willingness of kids to eat healthier foods," she said. The study also pointed out that school districts are allowed to charge their lunch programs for indirect costs such as electricity or janitorial services for their cafeterias. The authors said that can be abused by cash-strapped districts charging their lunch programs high overhead; they recommended tighter limits on those charges. Dr. Sandra Hassink of Wilmington, Del., a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Obesity Task Force, said that was an important finding. She said money allocated for nutritional programs should be spent on nutrition. Alice Jo Rainville, a professor of nutrition and dietetics at Eastern Michigan University, noted that school nutrition programs have improved because of federal policy changes enacted in 2004, the last year included in the study. Rainville said results in other states might not match those in Minnesota, but Senauer said he believes the situation is similar across the country.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The University of Kansas SAA RESIDENCE LUMBA ASSOCIATION www.kualumni.org Contaminated beef recalled Investigation found potential E. coli bacteria in meats 》 HEALTH GREEN BAY, Wis. — A company voluntarily recalled nearly 96,000 pounds of ground beef products after two people were sickened, possibly by the E. coli bacteria, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said Saturday. The beef products by American Foods Group include coarse and fine ground beef chuck, sirloin and chop beef. They were distributed to retailers and distributors in Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Virginia. an investigation by the Illinois Department of Health, which was looking into two reports of illnesses. The problem surfaced after The bacteria is E. coli O157:H7. E. coli is harbored in the intestines of cattle. Improper butchering and processing can cause the E. coli to get onto meat. Thorough cooking, to at least 160 degrees internal temperature, can destroy the bacteria. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. The very young, seniors and people with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to E. coli. The products subject to recall were produced on Oct.10. They were distributed for further processing and repackaging and will not have the company's establishment number on the package. Some of the recommended use-by dates have already expired. In that case, consumers can contact their retailers to see if the products in question were at stores. Consumers are also urged to look in their freezers and return or throw out the products if they find them.

Some homes along a road near the source of the blaze had been reduced to blackened wrecks, while others were barely damaged. "There's no rhyme or reason to it," said Frank Churchill, who returned home with his wife and four children to find his white stucco home largely undamaged, while three surrounding homes were leveled. "It doesn't make sense." Fifty homes were destroyed Saturday by the fast-moving wildfire, pushed by Santa Ana winds. Twenty-seven other homes were damaged, and 10,000 to 14,000 people remained under evacuation orders. The fire, which scorched 4,720 acres since early Saturday, was about 40 percent contained, with few flames visible to water-dropping helicopters deployed over the fire zone, said Ron Haralson, Los Angeles County fire inspector. By late Sunday morning, skies had cleared, and the column of smoke billowing over the hills had all but "Winds have subsided considerably, and we're making good headway," he said. vanished. Aside from the dozens of fire trucks dotting the Pacific Coast Highway, there was little evidence the fire still was burning. Sheriff's deputies with dogs surveyed the roadside area Sunday, which neighbors said is a popular spot for late-night outdoor partying by young people. Investigators had determined that the fire, which broke out along a dirt road off a paved highway, was caused by humans but had not determined whether it was started intentionally, said county Fire Inspector Rick Dominguez. "I've been up there and seen howling groups of teenagers drinking," nearby resident Ricardo Means, 57, said of the rugged spot near the top of his winding street, where blackened beer cans littered the ground. The seaside enclave was still recovering from a fire last month that destroyed six homes, two businesses and a church when the winds began whipping up again overnight Saturday. "This time I lost," said a soot-covered Glen Sunyich, who watched the stucco and tile-house he built in 1990 burn to the ground. "It means that I didn't build it well enough." Another resident who lost his home was Flea, the bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, whose real name is Michael Balzary, property records showed. Balzary had bought another home in Malibu last year, but the one destroyed was for sale for $4.8 million, the Los Angeles Times reported. Hundreds of firefighters and equipment from throughout the state had been positioned in Southern California for most of the week because of the predicted Santa Ana winds. All of the homes were destroyed in the fire's initial Saturday morning surge before the winds slowed and firefighters gained a foothold. Full containment was expected by Tuesday, officials said. Fifteen helicopters and 15 airplanes, including a retardant-dropping DC-10 jumbo jet, attacked from the air Saturday while 1,700 firefighters battled flames on the ground. Seven firefighters suffered minor injuries. Malibu, with homes tucked into deep and narrow canyons along 27 miles of coast at the southern foot of the Santa Monica Mountains, is prone to Santa Ana-driven wildfires. Among them was a 1993 blaze that destroyed 388 structures, including 268 homes, and killed three people. Saturday's fire was west of the areas of Malibu that burned in October. Santa Ana winds, triggered by high pressure over the Great Basin, blow into Southern California from the north and northeast, racing through the canyons and passes of the region's east-west mountain ranges and out to sea, pushing back the normal flow of moist ocean air.

Max Rinkel BOX OFFICE 'Enchanted' casts a spell, helps boost movie industry LOS ANGELES — Audiences fell under the spell of "Enchanted," a fairy-tale romance that debuted as the No. 1 movie and led Hollywood out of its recent box-office doldums with solid business over the Thanksgiving holiday. Starring Amy Adams as a cartoon princess exiled to real-world Manhattan by her fiance's wicked stepmother (Susan Sarandon), Disney's "Enchanted" took in $35.3 million over the weekend and $50.05 million since making its debut Wednesday, according to studio estimates Sunday. Sony Screen Gems' family reunion holiday tale "This Christmas" whose ensemble cast includes Delroy Lindo, Regina King, Mekhi Phifer and Idris Elba, opened at No. 2 with $18.6 million for the weekend and $27.1 million since Wednesday. Hollywood had been in a box-office funk this fall, but the two movies paced the industry to a healthy Thanksgiving, with the top 12 movies pulling in $218.1 million from Wednesday to Sunday, up 6 percent from the holiday period last year. "That's good for an industry that's been in a downtrend for almost two months," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "Thanksgiving sets the tone for the rest of the year and the holiday season in general. This was a key weekend, and it delivered." "Enchanted!" had the second-best five-day Thanksgiving debut ever, behind the $8.1 million haul of Disney's "Toy Story 2". Disney released all five of the top-grossing movie debuts over Thanksgiving, with "Unbreakable", "A Bug's Life." and "101 Dalmatians" trailing "Toy Story 2" and "Enchanted." "It's a really good place to launch a movie," said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney. "When you get a movie as strong and well-playing as this, it bodes well for us right through the Christmas holiday." Among other new wide releases, 20th Century Fox's video-game adaptation "Hitman" debuted at No. 4 with $13 million over the weekend and $21 million since Wednesday. The movie follows the exploits of a genetically engineered assassin (Timothy Olyphant). The Warner Bros. drama "August Rush" opened in seventhplace with $9.4 million for the weekend and $13.3 million since Wednesday.

The first column was about how to avoid people on campus that you would rather not have a conversation with. I've now had numerous encounters with people while walking to class who purposefully pretend to talk on their cell phone every time they see me. It has been positively delightful. I'm not sure when the switch occurred, but it was probably somewhere around my third semester here at old KU when I began not to give a rat's patato about what I wore to class each day. The days of getting up, showering, putting on makeup and picking out an outfit became a vague disturbing memory, and the days of a pair of jeans and a tee with the same sweatshirt every day emerged and were going nowhere fast. After having the epiphany that dressing up on campus was completely ridiculous, everyone else's outfits became an obsession, leading to borderline hysteria at what was traipsing around on our fine campus sidewalks. Rule number one: If you wear it to the Hawk, it is absolutely unacceptable campus wear. Unless you didn't have time to change before class after a late night rendezvous, but if that's the case you should expect ridicule for being such a philandering drunk. Rule number two: The whole, "Oh look, I just rolled out of bed in a form-fitting pair of sweatpants with perfect hair and makeup" look makes me want to projectile vomit all over that person. You're not fooling anyone. It's obvious you tried really hard, and P.S. velour is OVER. It's done, over, fini. J-Lo ruined it for everyone. Please, if you didn't get the memo, consider this a personal invitation to give your matching sweatpants to the Salvation Army. Let someone homeless and cold benefit from your obsolete $300 ugly sweat suit, because it sure as hell isn't doing you any favors. Rule number three; this is for the fellas. You can't wear a visor backwards; it completely defeats the purpose of the visor and makes you look like you might have learning problems. At least a backwards cap keeps your head warm. What does a backwards visor do? I think the only thing it accomplishes is making a guy look like a huge tool shed. And what's with the basketball shorts and collared shirts? Just wear a T-shirt, or put on some jeans and spare us all the unwanted view of your junk when you're slouching down in your desk during class. It's revolting. Also, those T-shirts with the anime chicks with huge jugs straddling surfboards are really lame, too; don't wear those either. And shower. Really, I think it's awesome that you were so wasted last night, but I don't want to smell your drunk musk. Period. So I guess the message is, well, I forgot what the message was, but I do know that I really hate velour and drunk musk and caries because they smell like cabbage.

GUEST COLUMN As it continues, the Iraq War takes its toll Sustained combat, lack of a foreseeable end offer grim prospects for the future MATTHEW FOSTER I'm terrible with birthdays. I remember only three: My dad's, my wife's and my son's. My son's is easy for two reasons: I'll never forget the rainy morning we brought him home and I pondered how anyone could be so small and fragile; and, he was born the day the war started in Iraq. Being a veteran, this connection started pulling at me immediately, especially when I realized I was the same age as the average soldier serving on the front lines in World War II. The difference between the average age of a World War II soldier, 27, and the average age of a soldier in Vietnam, 20, is one factor explaining a high occurrence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in Vietnam veterans. The argument holds that a 27-year-old, which happens to be the average age of a casualty in Iraq, is better equipped, psychologically, to handle war. Currently the average age for military members is 25. The average age of a soldier in Iraq could be lower, since the average infantry soldier is only 19. Another difference between World War II and Vietnam that may contribute to a high occurrence of P.T.S.D is the time served in combat zones. World War II soldiers experienced about 60 days of combat spread through a few years while an average Vietnam soldier saw 240 to 300 days of combat in a single year. In the Iraq War, preliminary numbers indicate a routine similar to Vietnam. Around 50 percent of the servicemen in Iraq are on their second tour and 25 percent are on their third. This many deployments can easily add up to years away from home for soldiers. If a child was born around the time of their deployment, those soldiers would miss out on practically every major event of the child's early development—their first words, first steps and if it had been me on my second 18 month tour, I would have missed my son's first day of preschool. Up to 90 percent of the soldiers in Iraq have been in a fire fight because, unlike in World War II, there are no front lines. Fighting can happen anywhere. Dustin Crook, a KU junior, fought in Iraq for a year when he was 20. He provided security to convoyes going in and out of Iraq from Kuwait. He said attacks were sporadic, with numerous close calls happening in one month and then a month or two with none. The attacks included 10 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and numerous small arm and rocket propelled grenade fire fights. He said overall he experienced 10 "really close calls." Crook was diagnosed with P.T.S.D when he returned from Iraq and simple activities, such as driving or smelling red meat as it cooks, began to trigger emotional episodes. This caused him anxiety at friendly barbecues when he suddenly thought of dead bodies. The Pentagon's current troop deployment policy deviates from a long standing, informal policy of giving soldiers two months home for every one month in combat, according to Larry Korb, former assistant secretary of defense. He said by not honoring this "social contract," our country is failing to fulfill its moral obligation to its soldiers. Korb said the Iraq War has depleted military resources and manpower, undermining efforts against terrorism elsewhere such as on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border where Al Qaeda has reconstituted itself. He said the War on Terror should not include occupations of countries as large as Iraq and America should either get a bigger force or not wage war. Korb said a military draft would be one way to solve the problem. When the war started, I chose not to rejoin the military because I wanted my son to grow up with a father in his life. But now, my son and the war Donald Rumsfeld said would take only six weeks are both going on five year and I wonder if losing my son to a military draft in 14 years is becoming a plausible fear. President Bush said the War on Terror will take years, which if you apply the Rumsfeld coefficient equates to us fighting terrorism for decades. Factoring in that the Iraq War may be undermining the true War on Terror and that tensions are rising with Iran, I'm left wondering: Will my four-year-old son get drafted? Foster is a Lawrence junior in journalism and creative writing. Now it's much easier being green Facebook groups, hybrid cars, fluorescent lights offer new ways to be environmentally friendly BEN COHEN A curious thing popped up on Facebook recently. A glut of new applications have sprung up over the last year, giving everyone the chance to show everybody else their favorite funny picture of two cats fighting, or tell people they like a certain friend slightly more than them. Among these many new applications, however, is something peculiar called Greenbook. Apparently, when somebody adds this new application, they help curb carbon dioxide emissions. Surprisingly, it doesn't work by taking embarrassing drunken pictures of well known polluters, as most things on Facebook basically do. Rather, it takes money from advertising, which increases whenever people join, and uses that money to pay for renewable energy credits, which are meant to offset pollutants. The idea may not be airtight, but the intentions are good. Almost 10,000 people have added the application thus far, meaning if it actually has any real potential, we'll get to see it soon enough. New additions to Facebook aside, the concept of "going green" finally seems to be catching on with a lot of people. Hybrid cars are not seen as telling signs of pompous liberals with too much money on their hands anymore. Similarly, compact fluorescent light-bulbs, which are more expensive than incandescent bulbs, but far more energy efficient, have become extremely popular. In general, it appears that it has finally, to reference Kermit the Frog, started to get easy to be green. Energy Awareness Week, a recent event sponsored on campus by several student-run environmental organizations, also highlighted the emergence into the mainstream of the so-called green movement. People walking across Wescoe Beach were given information regarding the amount of energy used and/or wasted in America, and were given reusable shopping bags so that they would not have to use traditional plastic bags, which take a great deal of petroleum to produce, when out at the store. Part of the success of the green movement is that the methods to take part are not all that difficult. Little changes in our day-to-day lives, like unplugging appliances that are not currently in use, have proven to be a notable factor in the increased willingness of people to take part in environmentally sound practices. Beyond just looking for greener lifestyles, people have become more willing to speak out against environmentally hazardous practices. One only need look to the many people who openly protested the construction of two coal-fired power plants that Sunflower Electric proposed for western Kansas. Concern over issues related to pollution, such as toxic water supplies and the spread of greenhouse gases, which in turn contribute to global climate change, motivated even people who are not typically activists to object to the building of the plants. Public opinion eventually played a key role in the Kansas Department of Health and the Environment denying Sunflower's request to build the plants. In summation, people are going green in different ways. Some are going the activist route, protesting environmentally hazardous corporate efforts. Some are trying to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions via Facebook. Others are simply adopting seemingly minor, but effective lifestyle changes to reduce their contributions to energy consumption. No matter what, the reckless attitude that most people once held towards their effect on global climate change, and the environment in general, is fading away fast. People are taking notice of the world around them, and what they can do to help it. That is something that can never hurt. Cohen is a Topeka junior in journalism and English.

If you are ever going to hold the game at a neutral site again, split it down the middle, not sprinkled throughout the stadium, and don't give students nosebleed seats. Even in the shadow of a loss, we have to look at the season as a whole and revel in just how wonderful it really was! Unbelievable! proud. I need a female to encounter me while I'm in the stacks. Aww shucks! Where was the student section? Thanks for screwing KU from a home football game! This has truly been one amazing season. Kansas is freaking 11-1. Good job boys, you've made us can't buy happiness. It's just GREAT that KU made a bunch of money by moving the Border Showdown to Arrowhead, too bad it cost us the national championship in the guys. Memo to Lew Perkins: Money end! It's not about Mizzou—it's about our boys having a phenomenal season. We're so proud of you It's times like this where we need to have a Sports Free for all again. Yes, not! Yes! Oh well. Even though he didn't play to his fullest potential, Reesing is still my future husband.

Americans packed up and headed to airports and train stations hours ahead of time Wednesday to get a jump on what was predicted to be the largest Thanksgiving pilgrimage ever despite rising gas prices and fears of air delays. Airports not fazed by holiday ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA — Travelers heading home after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend swarmed airports Sunday but without the long lines and delays many had feared.

AAA said its surveys indicated a record 38.7 million U.S. residents were likely to travel 50 miles or more for the holiday period of Wednesday through Sunday, up about 1.5 percent from last year. About 4.7 million were expected to fly, and about 31.2 million travelers were likely to drive in spite of rising gasoline prices, AAA said last week. "Everything is going very smoothly," Delseni said. Her husband is There were no delays by late morning at Los Angeles International Airport, spokeswoman Katherine Alvarado said.

"Everything was on time and there were no problems at all." Gypsie B. Van Antwerp said. Delays were minimal for the estimated 311,000 travelers passing through Chicago's Midway Airport and O'Hare International Airport on Sunday and few flights were canceled, said Chicago Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride. Rivalry boosts donations PHILANTHROPY Kansas, Missouri alumni create competitive food drive BY SASHA ROE sroe@kansan.com The Border Showdown was held both on and off the football field Saturday as the KU and MU alumni associations teamed up for a food drive. The drive supported Harvesters, a Kansas City, Mo., based food bank. The University of Missouri proved to be the winner of both the game and the drive Saturday, donating $8,092.75, the equivalent of 40,664 meals. The Jayhawks donated $3,923.25, or 19,779 meals. Paula Pratt, Harvesters director of community outreach, said the organization was thrilled with the cooperation from both schools, and the results of the "competition." She said the schools set an aggressive goal for the first-time event, and did very well by providing the Kansas City area with more than 60,000 meals. Pratt said she thought the school rivalry helped boost participation in the drive. "Everyone was so competitive in such a friendly way," Pratt said. aged. Pratt said Harvesters started in 1979 and provided 150,000 pounds of food the first year. Harvesters has grown to serve 550 agencies, in 13 counties in Missouri and Kansas and provided 26 million pounds of food in 2006. Jennifer Alderdice, KU director of student programs, said the food drive idea began early last summer. She said both schools thought it would be a nice gesture to do something for the Kansas City community because the game was at Arrowhead Stadium this year. Fans could donate canned goods at bins located around the stadium, give cash to Harvesters volunteers walking around tailgates, or donate to Harvesters' virtual food drive on their Web site. Alderdice said the virtual food drive proved to be the most successful and convenient for people, and if the drive was repeated in the future, the online donations would be more encour- Pratt agreed it was easier for people to donate online before Saturday's game, or donate from home if they weren't attending the game but still wanted to contribute. "At the stadium, everyone is so focused on the game as they should be," Pratt said. "Instead of lugging canned goods to the game, online gave people a more convenient way to be engaged." Christina Gering, student alumni association member and Wichita junior, helped organize the event. She said the schools had worked on the food drive all semester, and she thought it was a good project because the rivalry helped the participation, and the schools worked together so closely. ASSOCIATED PRESS "A lot of people wanted to beat Mizzou in both areas," Gering said. "We may not like each other that much, but it was for a good cause."

Sellers has been tagged with the label of "outside aptiator" and once could be called a criminal. 》 HONORS Professor receives Eagle Scout honors ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, S.C. — Years before civil rights activist Cleveland Sellers got caught up in the deadly 1968 protest known as the Orangeburg Massacre, he was on the path to the elite rank of Eagle Scout — until his paperwork was lost. Next month, the 64-year-old, who called himself a black militant in his autobiography, will formally collect the honor. He said he hopes it will add an important layer to a personal narrative that, to many people, will always be linked to his conviction in the civil rights protest at a historically black college that ended with three students gunned down by state troopers. "People have tried to create these monsters and make us something that we weren't because it helped them make their case," said Sellers, the director of the African American Studies program at the University of South Carolina. "I think it's important for people to know who I am and maybe through the process that will help lower the barrier and lower the kind of imagery they have of me." During a recent interview at his college office, he credited Scouting for his appreciation of nature, and a sense of orderliness. He fondly recalls attending the Boy Scouts' National Jamboree in 1960, and thinks he still could cook up a mean coffee-can souffle. only at M The men who led the troop he once belonged to were father figures — something many youths lack today, Sellers said. named after Camp Brownlee, the blacks-only Scout camp he attended as a young man. A formal Eagle ceremony will be held Dec. 3 in his hometown of Denmark — 20 miles from Orangeburg — more than four decades after he earned the rank, given to only about 5 percent of all Boy Scouts. Since 1912, nearly 1.9 million Eagles have been awarded, according to Boy Scout officials. "I look around now and there's no organizations for them other than the gang banging and that kind of stuff," he said.

Missouri gained 519 yards against Kansas' defense. Missouri defeated Kansas 36-28. Ion Goering/YANSCAN BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeff Wheeler came close. The sophomore defensive end's outstretched fingers came within inches of the football as it left Chase Daniel's hand. But the ball spiraled past Wheeler and into the grasp of a Missouri receiver during the middle of the third quarter. The completion was just one of 40 by the Missouri quarterback, the resulting first down just one of 29. But it underlined the recurring theme in Kansas' 36-28 loss to Missouri; the Jayhawks falling just short of making crucial plays. "We had chances to execute, but thats the way the game went," sophomore wide receiver Kerry Meier said. "Hats off to Missouri because they played very well — well enough to beat us." Missouri was the first team all season to play well enough to beat Kansas, which dropped to No. 7 in The Associated Press poll, No. 5 in the coaches' poll and No. 5 in the BCS standings. The Jayhawks arrived at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday afternoon undefeated and very close to the top of the BCS standings. Kansas left the staidum that night a one-loss team out of contention for the Big 12 Championship, out of the national championship picture and possibly out of a BCS bowl bid. Early on, it was the 'Tigers who came up just short, as a trick play backfired in the Jayhawks' favor. After freshman wide receiver Jeremy Maclin returned a punt 43 yards to the Kansas 32-yard line, the Tiger offense stalled and advanced only 10 yards on their next four plays. But Missouri opted for something more adventurous than a field goal. After holder Tommy Saunders received the long snap, he stood up and fired a pass to wide receiver Will Franklin on the left sideline. Franklin burst downfield but came up several yards short of the first down marker, giving Kansas the ball and the momentum midway through the first quarter. But Kansas could not take advantage of its good fortune and punted the ball away six plays later. When Missouri took control of the ball with 4:28 left in the first quarter, it unleashed its offensive weapons. Running back Tony Temple broke free for runs of 12 and 23 yards, and Daniel completed a 20-yard pass to wide receiver Danario Alexander for a second-and-long conversion. Saunders fumbled the ball inside the Kansas 5-yard SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 6B BCS RANKING BCS RANKING Kansas slips to No. 5 after Saturday's loss to Missouri, now No. 1 >> COMMENTARY Kansas slipped three spots to No. 5 in the BCS Standings after Saturday's 36-28 loss to Missouri. The Jayhawks earned fifth place in the USA Today Coaches' Poll, sixth in the Harris Poll and seventh in the AP Top 25 Poll. After dropping behind West Virginia, Ohio State and Georgia in the BCS Standings, Kansas is no longer in the running for a spot in the BCS National Championship game. Even if No. 1 Missouri loses to Oklahoma and No. 2 West Virginia loses to Pittsburgh next weekend, No. 3 Ohio State and No. 4 Georgia, which are both idle next week, would fill the top positions. If Kansas were to make a BCS Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl would be its most likely destination. For the Jayhawks to earn a trip to the Fiesta Bowl (Jan. 2 in Phoenix, Ariz.), Missouri would have to defeat Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship. A Missouri victory would send the Tigers to the BCS National Championship and probably push the one-loss Jayhawks into the Fiesta Bowl. If Oklahoma wins this weekend, no Big 12 Conference team will appear in the national title game and the Sooners would qualify for the Fiesta Bowl as the Big 12 Champions. Missouri could still earn an altar-based in a BCS Bowl but Kansas would probably fall out of the BCS to the Cotton Bowl (Jan. 1 in Dallas), which selects the best Big 12 team to not make a BCS bowl. If Oklahoma defeats Missouri by a large enough margin to drop the Tigers below No. 5 in the BCS Rankings, Kansas could sneak into a BCS Bowl as an alt-team. BCS STANDINGS 1. Missouri (11-1) .9781 2.

Kansas (11-1) .7918 Neutral-site rivalry game affects Kansas tradition -Asher Fusco BY SHAWN SHROYER shrover@kansan.com I wonder how Lew Perkins slept Saturday night On his drive home, I wonder if he took a detour past Memorial Stadium and noticed how its old bones never looked so hollow. Had Perkins not agreed to move this year's Kansas-Missouri football game to Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas fans may have never left Memorial Stadium Saturday night in celebration of their No. 1-ranked team. We'll never know. Now, let me just say, I like Lew Perkins. He realized that for Kansas to be more than a basketball school it needed to bring in more revenue, and that's exactly what he's done. But his one flaw is that he has about as much respect for tradition as Missouri fans have respect for sportsmanship. Perkins didn't think twice about giving Allen Fieldhouse a facelift. He's forever altered the Hill. And he allowed college football's second longest rivalry to be displaced to a neutral site. This time, it cost him. Well, it didn't cost Perkins. He'll cash in his check for $1 million and change on Monday, just the same. But his disregard for tradition may have cost Kansas football players a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play for a Big 12 Championship and National Championship. Kansas is young, so logic says it will be in contention again next season. But the truth is that Kansas football is known for consistent disappointment more than sustained success. 'We don't know what will happen next season. Of the tradition-rich programs in the conference — Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State. Texas and Texas A&M The next two seasons, Kansas will play the big boys from the South (Oklahoma, all but Oklahoma had disappointing seasons. In the North, Missouri isn't going anywhere for a while, Colorado and Iowa State are on the rise, and Tom Osborne is going to land Nebraska a fully competent head coach for the long haul. By the time Missouri comes back down to earth, Kansas State and Nebraska will be contenders again. Texas and Texas Tech), an improving North, and it can't possibly play an easier nonconference slate than it did this season. In all likelihood, Saturday's game was the biggest football game Kansas will ever be a part of and, if Perkins had left it alone, the Jayhawks might have come out on top. In Lawrence, maybe Kansas didn't start out so shaky on offense. Maybe offensive coordinator Ed Warinner was more creative with his play calling. Maybe Dexton Fields got under Todd Reesing's pass in the first quarter and waited into the endzone. Maybe Dezmon Briscoe didn't let Reesing's pass bounce off his chest. Maybe Scott Webb didn't do his best Lin Elliot impersonation. Maybe Kansas got a better pass rush on Chase Daniel. Maybe Kansas forced a turnover. Maybe Kansas capitalized on Missouri's 141 penalty yards. We'll never know. But, there's a story about when former Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley saw a Brooklyn fan in the stands urinating in a beer bottle that he knew the Dodgers no longer belonged in Ebbets Field. When I noticed a fan in front of me peeing in a cup during the game Saturday, it convinced me the Border Showdown didn't belong in Arrowhead Stadium. If Saturday's game benefited Kansas at all, it gave the Jayhawks the opportunity to show the country it could hang with a better team in the most hostile of environments. How Kansas was able to narrow a 21-point deficit to six in one quarter is beyond me. The atmosphere in Arrowhead Stadium was unlike anything I've ever experienced and probably unlike anything I ever will. There wasn't just pure hatred in the air; there was genuine bloodlust. It's the closest I can imagine to being part of the mob in the Roman Colosseum, watching gladiators battle for their lives. Without the home-field advantage, Kansas fell in a hole against a better team with a more experienced, Heisman-caliber quarterback and couldn't climb out. Fortunately for Perkins, Kansas still has a chance to earn its own BCS money. But if Kansas should only receive BCS money earned by Missouri — if the Tigers defeat Oklahoma, Kansas is all but assured of playing in a BCS bowl — he will only have himself to blame, Perkins made his bed, now he has to sleep in it — if his conscience allows him. Edited by Meghan Murphv BASKETBALL Kansas wins nailbiter against Arizona BY MARK DENT Senior guard Rodrick Stewart tries to bring in a rebound over Arizona defenders during Sunday's game in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas defeated Arizona 76-23 in overtime. Stewart had 13 points and six rebounds. The Jayhawks improved their record to 5-0 while the Wildcats dropped to 3-2. mdent@kansan.com All week long, the Border War had been hyped as the showdown of the century between two bitter rivals. It was as if basketball, and Kansas' game against Arizona, didn't exist. Arizona 54 3 A day after the Kansas and Missouri football madness, the Jayhawks and Wildcats, who have their own little rivalry, put on a show that should help remind fans that basketball season is here and that it might be pretty exciting. Kansas won 76-72 in overtime. The thriller included a 27-point performance from Arizona's Chase Budinger, a half-court buzzer beater that almost fell and plenty of highlights from junior guard Brandon Rush and senior guard Rodrick Stewart. The Jayhawks (5-0) earned their first major victory of the season, after defeating lower-level Division-1 opponents in their first four games. Jon Goering/KANSAN "It felt good," Rush said about the victory. "The energy was there." It was Rush who gave the Jayhawks a boost when they badly needed it. Doctors told Kansas coach Bill before the game that Rush could play 20 minutes. Whoops. Rush played 36 minutes because of foul trouble for Stewart and for senior guard Russell Robinson and because of an injury to freshman guard Tyrel Reed. Rush scored 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Rush said that he didn't feel tired or sore during the game or after it but that he wished he had played better defense. The game's outcome easily could have been different if he had played fewer minutes. After baskets by Stewart and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur broke a 62-62 tie in overtime, Rush swiped a pass at mid-court and dribbed in for an easy dunk that gave Kansas a 71-65 lead. He received an alley-oop pass from senior guard Russell Robinson on the next play to all but seal the victory. "We needed Brandon tonight," junior guard Mario Chalmers said. "He was big for us. He came in and gave us some great minutes, great points and great production. We really needed that from him, and I think he needed that for himself." Rushb's heroes in the extra period were almost not necessary. He came within inches of winning the game at the end of regulation when his half-court shot just missed. Rush thought it was going in. So did Chalmers, who led the Jayhawks with eight straight points down the stretch in regulation. Self didn't think it was going in, and he was glad when it rimmed out. He wanted his team to play an additional, more competitive five minutes. The game was fun to watch, but it wasn't fun to coach. Self was frustrated at the Jayhawks "stubbornness." He said that the team didn't rebound, shoot, defend or play its offense particularly well and that the players knew how to play better in each category. 1 Self said Kansas didn't shoot well from the outside (it only scored 16 points that weren't free throws or scored in the paint), but the rebounding problem really bothered him. Arizona outrebounded Kansas 38-29. "It is a great lesson for us to learn," Self said. "When you let good players get comfortable, like we did, anything can happen. There are a lot of things we can tighten up, and I think we will.

The referees called a blocking foul on Robinson on the play. Kansas and Arizona committed a combined 45 personal fouls during the game. BY RUSTIN DODD rdodd@kansan.com Chase Budinger certainly made the most of his first opportunity to play in Allen Fieldhouse. For all 38 of his minutes on the floor, the Arizona sophomore forward played the role of an unwelcome houseguess. And judging by the Allen Fieldhouse faithfully raucous celebration of Budinger's fifth foul, it's probably safe to say that Kansas fans won't mind if the golden-locked All-American candidate never comes back. Budinger finished with 27 points and six rebounds and nearly willed his unranked Arizona squad to an upset of Kansas. Budinger showcased his versatile inside-outside game in the first half, mixing six three-pointers with drives to the basket and mid-range jumpshots. "I try not to be one-dimensional, but be able to do everything. I felt the shots I took were good shots," Budinger said. With a handful of NBA scouts in attendance, the San Diego native put on a dazzling display, answering every Kansas run with big shot after big shot. Perhaps none was as crucial as his three-pointer that tied the game a 65-65 with 430 left in overtime. Fortunately for Kansas, Budinger was done scoring, and it was time for the game's other heralded sophomore — Kansas' Darrell Arthur — to take over. Arthur, who finished with 20 points, countered Budinger's three-pointer with four straight points, two off a short jumper and two off a layup, giving Kansas a 69-65 lead — a lead Kansas was finally able to hold on. Arthur and Budinger have shared the court once before. The duo were teammates on the West squad at the 2006 McDonald's All-American game, and it was Budinger who shared the MVP award with former Kansas nemesis Kevin Durant. "He's a guy that's hard to stop," Arthur said. "He's so long, and he can do so much out there. We just tried to keep him off the ball." Budinger's wonderful performance didn't come as a surprise to Kansas coach Bidell Self, who called Budinger a lottery pick last Wednesday. The Jayhawks recruited Budinger, the Pac10 Freshman of the Year last season, but Budinger committed to Arizona during the early signing period in 2005. Kansas snatched up Arthur the following spring, and although Budinger came away from Sunday night with better overall numbers, Arthur's team came away with the victory. "He shot the lights out, and he's big and he can see over you and shoot over you. He's a really nice player," Self said.

Self said he thought it was just a rolled ankle. ROBINSON'S BAD NIGHT Russell Robinson might want to forget this one. He picked up three fouls and two turnovers in the first half and didn't start the second half. He didn't make a field goal through out the entire game. "It was not good," Self said.

Arthur scored a season-high 20 points in a 76-72 overtime victory against Arizona Sunday If Arthur eats turkey, his refrigerator needs to be supplied with six months' worth of leftovers. If Arthur watches football, his closet needs to contain film of his favorite games. I don't know how sophomore forward Darrell Arthur celebrates Thanksgiving. But whatever he does, he needs to do it more often because his two best games as a Jayhawk have come directly after the holiday. BY CASE KEEFER KANSAN SPORTS COLEMNIST CKEEFER@KANSAN.COM "We've got to learn that we have to play through Darrell. And the sooner we learn that, the better off we will be." and said it was his best game of the season. Exactly one year ago, Arthur had an equally brilliant performance in an 82-80 victory against Florida with 19 points. BILL SELF Coach "It was a similar game," Arthur said. "I thought we did a good job on offense and defense in overtime. I thought we controlled the game in the overtime." To be exact, Arthur controlled the game in the overtime. The score was tied at 65 when Arthur pulled up for a short jumper to put the Jayhawks ahead by two. The Wildcats had answered all night whenever the Jayhawks made a big shot. But not this time. On Arizona's next possession, Arthur personally made sure that wouldn't happen, with a block that made the Allen Fieldhouse faithful rise like a cake after adding flour. Junior guard Mario Chalmers missed a jumper 20 seconds later, but Arthur jumped above all the Wildcats in front of him to tip in a basket. It made the score 69-65, and the Jayhawks never looked back. The Jayhawks would have lost and sent a tidal wave of depression toward Kansas sports fans if it weren't for Arthur. During one media time-out, a clip of Macaulay Culkin from "Home Alone" played over the scoreboard. Kansas fans cheered at the brief scene but little did they know that shortly after, Arthur would play the role of Culkin from the classic 1990 film. He hand-d联edly discouraged the enemies through a set of incredible incidents just like in "Home Alone." 1 He knocked down two critical free throws with three minutes remaining in regulation to tie the game and put all the pressure on the Wildcats. It brought a flashback of last November 25th when he calmly made seven of his nine free throws against Florida to keep Kansas alive. "We've got to learn that we have to play through Darrell," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "And the sooner we learn that, the better off we will be. We still haven't quite figured that out." Maybe Arthur's clutch performance in the biggest non-conference game of the season will help the Jayhawks with that concept. And maybe Arthur stowed away enough Thanksgiving weekend cheer to last the duration of the season.

Reesing's touchdown was the first of three fourth-quarter touchdowns that brought Kansas within eight of Missouri. Jon Goering/KANSAN RESILIENT REESING AWAITS 12TH VICTORY T. R. BY MARK DENT KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST MDENT@KANSAN.COM KANSAS 20 KANSAS KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The mud wouldn't come off Todd Reesing's facemask. He brushed off part of it as he walked off the field after getting sacked in the end zone to seal Kansas' loss, but some of the mud stuck tightly to his helmet. That's the way most of Saturday's 36-28 loss went for Reesing. He tried to clean up a mess and came up short. The opportunity for the Heisman Trophy, undefeated season, Big 12 Championship and national championship had vanished into the barbecue-filled night air. Reesing had been picked off, outdued by Missouri's Chase Daniel and sacked in the mud, but he hadn't That resilience helped him morph his Lake Travis High School team from perennial losers to district champs. That resilience earned him the nickname Sparky. That resilience turned a disappointing blowout into a wild finish that Kansas had an opportunity to win. lost everything. He still showed his defining quality — the ability to fight back and lead a team. It was partially Reesing's fault (along with kicker Scott Webb and the entire defense) that he had to battle back this time. He didn't play like himself in the first half. Not even slightly. Kansas had excelled because Reesing had played mistake-free for almost the entire season. He went from Oct. 6 to Saturday night without throwing an interception. The streak was amazing. During that time, star NFL quarterback Peyton Manning threw 11 picks, White Owl bothered thousands of people and Chiefs coach Herm Edwards called a draw play on third and long 623 times. Anthony Webb, sophomore defensive back, struggles past a Missouri Tiger after a punt return during the first quarter of Saturday night's game in Arrowhead Stadium. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN The mistake could have been caused by the glove Reesing was wearing on his throwing hand. Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Reesing wore it because his hands were small, and he had a tough time gripping the ball in the cold. Reesing completed only 9 of 17 passes in the first half. SCORING DRIVE CHART So needless to say, it was a surprise when he zipped a 25-yard pass to wide receiver Dexton Fields and Mizzou cornerback William Moore came down with the ball at the two-yard line early in the second quarter with Kansas trailing 7-0. Fields was open. Reesing's throw was short.

The man they call Sparky fights back. After one more interception in the early third quarter that tipped off wide receiver Marcus Henry's hands, Reesing showed that resilience. 10 He led Kansas on four straight scoring drives during the third and fourth quarters. The Jayhawks trailed 28-7 early in the fourth quarter and went for it at fourth-and-two from the Mizzou five-yard line. Convert, and Kansas still had a small chance. Come up short, and the game would probably be a blowout. Reesing faked a hand-off and sprinted outside for a bootleg touchdown. He threw two touchdowns later in the fourth quarter to bring Kansas within six at 34-28. Reeing brought the Jayhawks all the way back, and they had a chance for a miracle with the ball in their own territory and 17 seconds left. Reeing got sacked in the end zone. He led the team back but not far enough. Kerry Meier, sophomore wide receiver, leaps for a pass in front of a Missouri defensive back during Saturday's game. Meier had four receptions for 70 yards. The Jayhawks offense gained 391 yards against the Tiger defense. Believe him. Sparky always comes back. "It's tough right now, but we're going to bounce back and take that into the bowl game and get our 12th win," Reesing said. A few minutes after the game ended, Reesing answered questions with his stocking cap pulled down but not far enough to cover his eyes. He sounded disappointed, maybe slightly upset. He had lost his first Jon Goerina/KANSAN Determination still came through in his words. Reesing lost, but he rallied the team. He still has opportunities to come back from the defeat.

He can do it all again next year and the year after that, too. game as a college starter and all the championships and awards that would have been possible with a victory. - Edited by Kaitlyn Syring Missouri 36.

Daniel completed 41 of his 49 pass attempts for 368 yards in the game. Missouri's offense gained a total of 519 yards against the Kansas defense. Jon Goerina/KANSAN BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com Missouri junior quarterback Chase Daniel doesn't talk about his achievements much. Even after Daniel threw for 361 yards and three touchdowns on 40-for-49 passing in a 36-28 victory against Kansas, he deflected the praise from himself to his teammates. But Missouri coach Gary Pinkel made up for the quarterback's modesty. "He'll be the first one to tell you about his offensive line, his wide receivers, tight ends." Pinkel said. "And I'll be the first one to tell you that this guy is special. I've been saying this for a year and a half. Tonight, America got to see today how special he is." Daniel was the heart of the Tiger offense that gained 519 yards and put up 36 points on the jayhawk defense, which was ranked second in the nation in points allowed coming into the game. He was the pulse that brought it to life and the glow that kept it shining. Early in the second quarter, Daniel led the Tigers on a 98-yard drive in just more than five minutes. The ball was on the 11-yard line when Kansas players seeped through the Missouri line and Daniel ran 20 yards backwards to escape junior defensive end John Larson. It looked like a broken play but Daniel fired a bullet to MU sophomore receiver Danario Alexander for a touchdown to make the score 14-0. "Danario played unbelievable. He was open all night long and made some plays down the field," Daniel said. "He made an unbelievable play on the first play. I scrambled out and he was wide open." Alexander, who was the Tiger's fifth leading receiver entering the game, was indeed the best receiver Saturday with eight catches for 117 yards and a touchdown. But if it wasn't for Daniel's ability to see passing lanes, deceptive elusiveness and laser-sharp delivery, Alexander wouldn't have stood out. Kansas seemed to be mounting a comeback attempt in the fourth quarter with the score 31-21. All the Jayhawk defense had to do was the jayhawk to stop the Tigers on a third down-and fourteen play from the MU 42-yard line to get the ball back. But Daniel gracefully stepped into the pocket and found Alexander for 16 yards and a first down. "What a remarkable competitor and what a great player when you need to make a play." GARY PINKEL Missouri coach eventually led to a 43-yard field goal from Jeff Wolfert. Every time the Jayhawks grabbed any momentum, Daniel shot it down by guiding his offense down the Arrowhead Stadium field. I will wait for your response.

The sophomore set the Kansas single-season passing yardage record with 3,259 and moved into a tie for first on the Reesing Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing may not have has his finest performance Saturday night, but school's career passing touchdown list. Reesing's second-quarter interception was his first in 213 pass attempts dating back to the Oct. 6 game at Kansas State. The interception-less streak set a Big 12 Conference season record, previously held by Texas &M&R Reggie McNeal in 2004. Reesing finished Saturday night's game 28-of-49 for 349 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He ranks 12th in the nation in passing efficiency. "We've been pretty good at that lately. When the other team scores all I have to say to my offense is, 'Hey, let's answer,' " Daniel said. "And we answered." Daniel's statistical supremacy in a game that shattered the Jayhawks' hopes at an undefeated season undoubtedly catapults him near the top of the Heisman Trophy race. Daniel declined to comment on his hopes for Division I college football's most prestigious trophy. That's OK because Pinkel's comments spoke for him. A CRAZY ATMOSPHERE The makeup of the crowd served as the main topic debate in the days leading up to the game. Kansas Athletics officials said last week that as much as 70 percent of the crowd would be pro-Jayhawk, HURT BY INJURIES Kansas avoided the injury bug for most of the season, but bumps and bruises caught up with the Jayhawks Saturday. Junior left tackle Anthony Collins, who missed the team's previous game with an injury, visibly limped the entire game against Missouri. By the fourth quarter, Collins labored to pull himself off the ground after but Missouri officials disputed those claims. When Saturday night arrived, it appeared Kansas fans might have slightly outnumbered their Missouri counterparts — but probably not by a 70-30 proportion. Missouri's cheering section was noticeably more vocal than that of Kansas once the Tigers started piling on points. The Jayhawk faithful answered with cheers of their own when Kansas rallied in the fourth quarter, but some Kansas fans left the stadium with several minutes left in the game. The rooting interests of the fans may have been a hot topic, but the size of the crowd left little room for debate. The announced attendance of 80,537 was the second largest crowd in Arrowhead Stadium history and the seventh largest to ever watch a Kansas football game. Heading into the Border Showdown, one of the keys to the game for the Kansas defense was containing Missouri wide receiver MU FRESHMAN SHOWS IMPACT Jeremy Maclin. The Jayhawks didn't allow the explosive freshman to find the end zone, but he still contributed for his team on several occasions. Maclin plays and was clearly not playing at 100 percent. Junior defensive backs Kendrick Harper and Patrick Resby both played but did not start because of injuries. Sophomore safety Justin Thornton and freshman cornerback Chris Harris started in place ofHarper and Resby, respectively. Thornton made a career-high 16 tackles, and Harris made 12. quarterback Chase Daniel turned to other receivers such as Danario Alexander (117 receiving yards) and Tommy Saunders (82 receiving yeards). PETER KIDDLEMAN COLD WEATHER returned a punt 43 yards — the longest punt return Kansas has allowed all season — and tallied 200 all-purpose yards. Missouri inserted Maclin into the offense early, getting him the ball five times in the first quarter. After halftime, he served mainly as a decov as Maclin Game to forget... Brandon McAnderson. The senior running back struggled through his most disappointing performance of the season, rushing for only 41 yards on 14 carries. But McAnderson wasn't the only Kansas runner who struggled. The Missouri defense held Kansas to just 42 total yards on the ground. Defensive linemen Stryker Sulak and Lorenzo Williams consistently stopped the run for the Tigers, combining to make three tackles-for-loss. "What a remarkable competitor and what a great player when you need to make a play," Pinkel said. Stat of the game.. 81.6 percent. Chase Daniel completed 81.6 percent of his passes Saturday night, racking up three touchdowns and more than 350 yards in the process. Kansas' blitzes never made Daniel uncomfortable, and its secondary could not handle Missouri's assortment of talented receivers. The 33-degree conditions at kickoff were by far the coldest Kansas has faced so far this season. The previous low was 47 degrees Nov. 3 against Nebraska. Because of the cold weather, Reeing wore a glove on his throwing hand. He said he felt more comfortable wearing a glove in the practices leading up to Saturday because it helped him grip the ball better in the cold. Mangino and Reeing both said the glove had nothing to do with Reeing's struggles with inaccuracy early in the game. It was over when... Missouri recovered an onside kick with 2:03 remaining. It looked like Missouri had crushed Kansas' spirit with three consecutive first-half touchdowns, but the Jayhawks came storming back late in the game to climb within six points of the Tigers. When Missouri successfully covered senior kicker Scott Webb's onside kick attempt, it ended the Jayhawk rally. Game to remember... Chase Daniel. The Missouri quarterback may have punched his ticket to New York for the Heisman ceremony with his performance Saturday night, Daniel eluded the KU defenders each time they applied pressure and completed 40 of his 49 passes for 361 yards.

The Tigers' first scoring drive showcased its array of offensive options. Daniel completed passes to five different receivers, and four players ran the ball. "That is the most talented offensive team we've played this year, without a doubt," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "They are just really talented — they've got playmakers all over the place and a good offensive line. That is a very, very good offensive football team. There's no question about it." Daniels' second touchdown pass was one example of Kansas coming within inches of making a key play. Leading 7-0 early in the second quarter, Missouri faced third-and-goal at the Kansas 11-yard line. The Jayhawks pressured Daniel and forced him into a quick retreat to the 30-yard line. Just when Kansas junior defensive end John Larson got within striking distance of the Missouri quarterback, a blocker cut him down. After what seemed like an eternity of desperately scrambling, Daniel found Alexander cutting across the field at the 5-yard line. Alexander reeled in the pass and dove into the end zone, giving Missouri a comfortable 14-0 lead. "We did an all right job slowing them down at times," sophomore safety Justin Thornton said. "We felt like we could get stops and turnovers, but we didn't come up with any tonight and that hurt us. We weren't able to make the big stops on the third downs when we needed them." Scott Webb twice could have helped Kansas cut into Missouri's 14-0 lead in the second quarter. The senior kicker's first kick, a 33-yard attempt, bounced off of the right upright to the delight of the Missouri faithful seated behind the end zone. Less than five minutes later, Webb's 45-yard attempt sailed wide of the left goalpost. The kicks missed their intended target by a just few inches, but they cost the Jayhawks six points and needed momentum. "It's tough on our kicker and the snapper and the holder because it's tough to kick a cold ball," Meier said. "We missed those field goals, but we had a lot of other opportunities to execute that we didn't capitalize on. We just needed to execute a couple more plays to get us over the hump, but that's the way the game went." In the second half, the Tigers extended their lead by capitalizing on layhawk errors. Kansas was efficiently marching down the field on its first drive of the second half before Reesing barely missed senior wide receiver Marcus Henry on a throw over the middle. The pass tipped off of Henry's left hand and into the hands of Missouri cornerback Castine Bridges. Bridges returned the interception 49 yards to the Kansas 40-yard line, and Missouri scored its third touchdown seven plays later on running back Jimmy jackson's one-yard plunge. The lajhawks finally found the end zone midway through the third quarter when they engineered a 67-yard drive capped off by senior running back Brandon McAnderson's one-yard touchdown run. Freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe's highlight-worthy catch was the key play of the drive. Briscoe streaked down the middle of the field as Reesing lofted a pass toward the goal line. The ball appeared out of Briscoe's reach, but he leaped to make the catch and fell at the 5-yard line. The Tigers punched back with a quick 65-yard touchdown drive and stretched their lead back to 21 points. But Kansas did not surrender its undefeated season just yet. Led by Reesing, who scored a touchdown on an impressive fourth-down bootleg run, the Jayhawks spent the fourth quarter climbing back into the game. When Kansas marched 57 yards in just more than a minute to score and pull within 10 points, the Jayhawk fans loudened their cheers. "This is a tough bunch of guys on this team," Reesing said. "We have a lot of confidence in ourselves, and we knew we would be able to bounce back after the first half. We knew if we fought hard we would have a chance to win at the end of the game." Missouri kicker Jeff Wolffert made his second field goal of the game with 3:26 to play, leaving Kansas with little time to come back. Reesing and the Jayhawks responded with a 63-yard touchdown drive that took just 1:23. Reesing looked like his typical gun-slinging self on the crucial drive, finding senior wide receiver Marcus Henry in the back of the end zone for the touchdown. Kansas, down by only six points, tried to increase its chance to win with an ensuing onside kick, but Missouri easily recovered, and Kansas needed almost a miracle. The Kansas defense did its job, holding Missouri to a three-and-out on the ensuing possession. Kansas sent 10 players to try to block the punt and sent Agjib Talib deep to return it. Without any blocking, Talib tried to shake away defenders but was quickly tackled. Left with only 17 seconds to cover 89 yards, the Kansas offense could not muster any heroics. Missouri defensive tackle Lorenzo Williams sacked Reeing in the end zone for a safety, cementing the final score at 36-28. Kansas came close to a comeback victory on Saturday night, close to a perfect regular season and close to a berth in the Big 12 Championship game. But the small things that Missouri did right and that Kansas did wrong decided the Border Showdown outcome. The Jayhawks' uncharacteristic mistakes — overthrown passes and barely missed field goals — caught up with them and ended their quest for perfection. —Edited By Chris Beattie SMU hands Kansas first loss WOMEN'S BASKETBALL BY TAYLOR BERN tbern@kansan.com Kansas split its pair of games during the holiday break, downing Drake 69-64 on Friday night before falling to host team SMU 68-56 on Saturday.

This is my first semester, I teach Introduction to "International Politics," "Russian Foreign Policy and Eurasian Security," and I will be teaching "Introduction to Human Rights." Where did you go to college? I'm originally from Russia and already had a university education for undergraduate studies, but I went to Purdue University in Indiana for my master's and doctoral degrees.

I was also president of the Political Science Graduate Student Association and president of Purdue's Salsa Dancing Club. Professor Mariya Omelicheva Department of Political Science What's your prediction for KU football? I've been trying to follow the team, and I think they'll have great success. What is the worst job you've ever had? I've actually been blessed in that I've enjoyed every organization that I've worked at. What is your craziest moment from college? Purdue has these two beautiful big fountains. When it's warm out, we would run through them. Do you have a favorite sport to watch? I don't watch sports, but I love to play sports. Did you have a favorite cartoon growing up? I grew up in Russia, and there was this cartoon which translates as "Wow Let's See What What is your funniest teaching moment? I'd say grading students papers because of the way they spell. They spell it the way they think it's pronounced. Happens". It was a cartoon about a wolf and a hare. The wolf was constantly chasing the hare. The cartoon had some valuable lessons in it, but at the same time it was very hilarious. What is your favorite candy? I like Belgium milk chocolate. Where have you traveled to? I've been to Singapore, Malaysia, Egypt, Estonia and Georgia. What's currently in your CD player? Salsa, 99 percent of the time. What is your ideal weekend? Working hard, producing a lot of things and going out at night. What is your favorite restaurant? I like any authentic Chinese Restaurants, and I like Ethiopian too. What is your favorite color? I have many favorites from red and blue to black and white. Do you have a favorite KU tradition? I'm looking forward to the graduation ceremony. I think it's interesting and unique. — Edited by Elizabeth Cattell Panda watch TRANSPORT CONTROL A veterinarian examines a giant panda cub at the San Diego Zoo during the cub's weekly exam in San Diego on Aug. 14.

Emma Clarke has been recording messages for London's sprawling subway network, popularly known as the Tube, since 1999. In addition to warning passengers to watch their step in walking between subway cars and the platform, she also reads the trains' stops, tells Londoners how long they have to wait until their next ride, and delivers service updates. The paper also featured Clarke's Web site, which hosts a series of spoof Tube announcements, including one warning a passenger not to stare at a woman's chest and another telling American tourists, "You are almost certainly too loud She said using the service every day had been "dreadful!" Transport for London, the body responsible for running the subway, said Monday that Clarke, 36, was fired for telling The Mail on Sunday she avoided using the mail whenever possible. "We wouldn't employ somebody to promote our services who simultaneously criticizes those services." Hodges said. Transport for London noted that some of the spoof announcements were quite funny, but spokesman Dan Hodges said Clarke's attack on the subway itself had crossed the line. Clarke's voice will continue to fill London's subway cars until a replacement is needed, he said.

British pigeon racers push for'sport' status Even if it's not officially classified a sport, "pigeon racing has been recognized as a sport for well over 100 years and this latest turn of events will cause many clubs to struggle to make ends meet". Sim said. Racers, known as "pigeon fanciers;" house their birds in sheds — buildings the British government now wants to tax, beginning in April. Sports clubs can get tax relief, but pigeon racing is not classified as a sport, which would leave racers footing a hefty tax bill. Local representative Geoff O'Connell said he wanted to raise the matter with British tax authorities. LONDON — Pigeon racers are petitioning Queen Elizabeth II to have their activity officially classified as a sport. The Belford Racing Pigeon Club hopes the British monarch, the patron of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association, will intervene in a dispute that could see them pay millions of dollars in taxes, chairman Eric Sim said.

The game, scheduled to ship Dec. 11, features improved control of low post players. BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Sean O'Brien is laughing — not because the reporter's question is funny, but because the question is asked so often, most of the time by an incredulous fan, O'Brien, the creator of EA Sports NCAA March Madness 2008, was asked during an interview last week why Kansas' Darrell Arthur and Sherron Collins were rated only 77 in the new game. After stifling his laughter, O'Brien said, "People are always ticked off with that. It is probably the most judged thing that we do every year." Such is life for the creator of one of the EA Sports video games, the best-selling sports titles in the country. For the record, O'Brien said an "edit player" feature was designed for gamers whose biggest qualm with the game was the slight of their favorite athletes. So, in the case of Arthur, a gamer can bump up his rebounding skill and low post moves. O'Brien said his team of developers worked on the March Madness game year-round. The '08 game was finished Nov. 5 and is scheduled to ship Dec. 11 after an approval stage to be sure the software works properly. The new game will have a couple of big additions: improved player control in the post, including offensive and defensive positioning, and the inclusion of ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews. Andrews, who said she had wanted to be a part of the game for years, said integrating herself into the game was a fun experience. "It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be," Andrews said. "When I cover a game, I go to morning shootaround, I sit down with the coaching staff, I do a week worth of research. You have to keep it really generic when you are working with the game because you don't have that week to work with. The story lines could be anything." A graduate of the University of Florida, which won the NCAA football and basketball trophies last year, Andrews said she could see Kansas as the next big national dual-threat program. She called Allen Fieldhouse "the loudest place I have ever been" and said her last experience at the fieldhouse was difficult. "I love reporting from Allen Fieldhouse," Andrews said. "Last year against Texas A&M, I had laryngitis before the game. ESPN had no time to change reporters. They were pumping me with hot water. It was so loud that you couldn't hear anything. It was bad. I was getting text messages from friends and family saying they O'Brien made sure the Allen Fieldhouse experience was as realistic as possible in the game. have to turn up their microphones." "Kansas has been a school that has been very good to us. We rely on the schools to provide us with assets." O'Brien said. "When we built Allen Fieldhouse, they provided us with schematics. We've done work with Bill Self, who has given us scouting reports on Big 12 schools. That gives us offensive and defensive sets realistic for other schools." O'Brien said he and his staff had been to games in the fieldhouse to help make additions to the game. The Rock Chalk chant, for instance, has been a game staple for a few years. EA Sports also has added intricacies of the student section, such as specific distraction tactics KU students use during free throws. The game also has realistic mascots, players, cheerleaders, courts and band members with 3-D instruments. "We want a Kansas experience, because that is our consumer," O'Brien said. "It is the guy or girl that lives in Lawrence, Kan., and goes to the game. The people that know the Kansas experience. We want to nail that experience." EA Sports creates games in a studio in Vancouver. O'Brien said 1,600 to 1,700 people worked in the studio, but about 45 people worked on constructing NCAA March Madness. O'Brien said the environment was highly competitive because other titles, such as Madden NFL, NCAA Football, NBA Live, were constructed in the same building. As for the oft-repeated questions about player ratings, O'Brien said the ratings were derived from a formula based on stats, minutes played and the strength of the athletic conference. O'Brien said one employee made the ratings each year, and the game also employed ESPN's Doug Gottlieb to "give us a good insight into incoming freshmen." "It is somewhat subjective, and it can change throughout the year pretty quickly," O'Brien, said of the ratings. "If you disagree, or God forbid we screwed up, we give you the opportunity to change it." Not that it will stop fans from asking. Edited by Tara Smith NATION Gore, Bush reunited at White House for Nobel Prize winner photo op BY BEN FELLER ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Talk about an inconvenient truth. Al Gore finally won his place in the Oval Office on Monday, right next to George W. Bush. Forever linked by the closest and craziest presidential race in history, the two men were reunited by, of all things, White House tradition. Gore was among the 2007 Nobel Prize winners who were invited in for a photo and some chatter with the President "Familiar faces," the former vice president said of the media. Bush, still smiling, added nothing. Gore got the recognition for his work on global warming. The two men stood next to other, sharing uncomfortable grids for photographers and reporters, who were quickly ushered in and out. The two also had a 40-minute meeting in the Oval Office, part of Bush's effort to show some outreach to his longtime rival. Bush aides said it was private and would not comment on it. Gore, trailed by the press as he left the White House, allowed that he and Bush spent the whole time talking about global warming. "He was very gracious in setting up the meeting and it was a very good and substantive conversation." Gore said. "And that's all I want to say about it." The two have not met privately since then-President-elect Bush paid a visit — short, and not that sweet — to Gore's residence in December Bush and Gore President Bush, right, poses for a photo with former Vice President Al Gore on Monday in the Oval Office of the White House. Gore was visiting the White House with other 2007 Nobel Prize recipients. He said he and the President talked about global warming in a private 40 minute meeting. ASSOCIATED PRES ASSOCIATED PRESS his wife, Tipper, walked out along Pennsylvania Avenue and up 17th Street, toward his nearby office — even though the White House is adept at helping people slip away unnoticed, if they want to. Prize was less than giddy. The White House tried to make clear that Bush was hosting Gore not out of obligation but genuine interest. Gore said he didn't want to comment. But with the media waiting for him, Gore and 2000.

I can't find them, and I think they may have taken proper punctuation and spelling with them. I am of the computer generation. I e-mail, text message or IM more than I call. I also type infinitely faster than I can write, even when using a my tiny phone keypad. When typing a message to my friend, I often omit vowels from words and rarely bother with capital letters. Most notably, I use "def." instead of "definitely" because I can never remember how to spell it correctly—that last "e" is ridiculously out of place! I am also a fan of ellipses, littering them through my messages in places they have no business being. However, I also know when the above are appropriate and when they are not. I am sad to say that many people, inside and outside of my age group, do not under- stand these same boundaries ot. propriety. I was unpleasantly surprised when I got an e-mail from my new 40-something volunteer coordinator and I noticed that she had not bothered to use any capital letters. Not one, not even at the beginning, not even for her name. This e-mail had gone out to about 15 new volunteers, none of whom had met her before. I sent an e-mail back regarding my interview time, and I received the following reply: "See u then! thx, k." Everything I have ever learned about social customs or the English language says that this is not okay. You can't purposefully misspell words, and you certainly can't shorten your name to one consonant when speaking to a person you've never met before. However, someone somewhere decided that e-mails could have different rules. And that someone was wrong. As e-mails increasingly become a significant form of communication among colleagues and potential employers, the rules must change as well. E-mails should be thought of just like a letter. They can be formal or informal, but the same rules don't apply to both. You wouldn't send a letter to someone you don't know starting "Hey there!" In the same way, you shouldn't send an e-mail to a professor you've never had starting that way either. I've talked to professors who say that the language of the e-mails they receive often influences their decisions regarding the requests. Why would they let someone into their class or write a letter of recommendation for a student if that student can't even be bothered to run spell check? Also, do not take liberties in an e-mail that you would not feel comfortable doing in person; if you don't call your professor "James" to his face, don't open an e-mail so informally. must reform their e-mail habits. I'm not saying you have to drag out the old Webster's, but at least hit the spell check button before you send it off into online oblivion. And if you have forgotten how to type a capital letter, there is a friendly key on your keyboard that I fondly call "Shift." It can help you out immensely. If it looks like a cat walked across your computer—"wat r u doin?"—don't send it to someone if you want them to think you're intelligent. Gentry is a Kansas City junior in English and pre-medicine.

TUESDAY MORNING Twins share bond beyond appearances Intuitiveness, unspoken understanding is the foundation of twins' relationship KIRSTEN HURSON KIRSTEN HUDSON On the first day of at least one class every semester you get the teacher that wants to get to know you. The one that makes you tell four things: Name, year, major and one interesting thing about yourself. The last question always seems to be the trickiest part. Yet my answer is easy; it's the same every time. I am a twin. Upon learning this information, the class as a whole usually gives the same response. Every pair of eyes in the classroom bore into my face. Collectively thinking, I suppose, that if you stare hard enough you might find some tell-tale sign showing my twin-liness. Usually it just makes me feel like I have an extra ear. The staring I'm used to. It's not uncommon when my sister and I meet someone new for them to stare for a good two minutes, eyes constantly shifting between our faces, then inform us that, "Your right eyebrow is higher than hers." The only part that usually bothers me is the inevitable question, "So, are you identical or fraternal?" The question mostly bothers me because I just don't know; we were never told officially whether we were identical or fraternal. Unlike what is commonly thought, identical doesn't simply mean looking exactly alike and fraternal doesn't just mean looking different. I will explain. According to Dr. Gerard M. DiLeo of babyzone.com, the primary difference is that identical twins come from the splitting of only one fertilized egg, while fraternal twins are two babies from two oviations and two fertilizations. You can only tell that twins are identical if there is one sac, but they can still be identical twins if there is two sacs and two placentas. Fraternal twins must have two separate sacs and two placenta. Thus only identical twins have the same DNA and therefore usually look more alike. So there you have it, identical twins come from one egg, fraternal from two. If you really want to ask me the details of what went on in the womb well, go for it, but if not just ask if we look alike. It's more polite. The other reason this question bothers me is because the looking alike doesn't matter. It isn't looking like her that makes me feel like a twin. Our physical similarities don't matter when it comes to knowing there is some weird connection between us. What makes me feel like a twin is a look passed between us that communicates, "Wow that girl with the sweatpants capris, Ugg boots and plaid winter coat looks ridiculous. Do you want to go get coffee after Spanish?" It's playing Cranium and knowing that her drawing of three lines and a squiggly mark is supposed to be a penguin. It's seeing who can get the words out first because we both know we're thinking the exact same thing. Being a twin is knowing that no matter what else changes in my life, she will always be constant. Not the fact that we look alike. But if you must know, she's an inch taller and has a freckle on her right cheek. Hudson is a Wichita junior in journalism and business. TALK TO US Erick R.

Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, left rear, and President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, foreground, attend a ceremony at National Command Authority in Islamabad, pakistan, on Aug. 2. An aide to Musharraf said Kayani would be promoted to the military's chief post on Wednesday, after Musharraf resigns from the post.

MBA@Avila.edu ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pervez Mushraff will retire as chief of Pakistan's army at midweek, his aides announced Monday. The embattled leader has grappled with a political scene roiled by the return of an exiled former prime minister. Nawaz Sharif, who was ousted by the 1999 coup that put Musharraf in power, quickly registered Monday to run in the January election although he didn't drop his call for a boycott that could undermine the ballot's legitimacy. Sharif appealed for support from Pakistanis unhappy with Musharraf's U.S. alliance, portraying himself as a politician who kept himself at arms length from Washington in contrast to the U.S.-friendly stance of the president and the other key opposition leader, Benazir Bhutto. Even before Sharif's return Sunday, Musharraf was under pressure from opposition forces and the U.S. to end the emergency rule he imposed three weeks ago in this nuclear-armed nation of 160 million people beset by strengthening Islamic militants. America and its allies want Musharraf to lift his suspension of the constitution to ensure a fair election, which they hope will produce a moderate government willing and capable of standing up to religious extremists with ties to al-Qaida and the Taliban. Musharraf has eased the crackdown on dissent that saw police detain thousands of opponents and take independent TV news off air, and his aides announced Monday that he was now ready to take the long-promised step of quitting his powerful army post and ending direct military rule. Spokesman Rashid Qureshi said Musharraf would make "farewell visits" to his troops before ending a military career that began in 1964. Musharraf planned to promote his anointed successor, Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, to the military chief's post Wednesday, the aide said. The following day, "he will take oath of office as president of Pakistan as a civilian," Qureshi said. Musharraf suspended the constitution Nov. 3, saying he needed to stop the Supreme Court from creating political chaos and hampering the effort against militants. The crackdown caused a break in relations between Musharraf and Bhutto, leader of the country's biggest opposition party, who was twice put under house arrest to stop her from leading mass rallies against the unpopular general. Bhutto and Musharraf have since eased their public feuding, and she filed her candidacy papers in her home district of Larkana on Monday. She contended the election is stacked in favor of Musharraf's ruling party, but said she wouldn't participate in a boycott of the vote unless all opposition groups did — a tall order given the fractions relations among Pakistan's many political blocs. Bhutto's spokesman, Farahatullah Babar, said Musharraf would be taking a major step forward by shedding his uniform, and if he made significant further concessions "then the window for negotiations can be reopened." Sharif's return has given Mushraraf a new headache because of the bad blood between them and the political threat Sharif poses in Punjab province, Pakistan's political heartland. Sharif flew in Sunday with the apparent blessing of Saudi Arabia, an influential ally of Pakistan that had previously supported Musharraf's efforts to keep Sharif in exile there. The former premier immediately repeated his call for a boycott of the election, but on Monday hedged his bets by filing nomination papers to contest a parliament seat in his hometown of Lahore. Addressing supporters, Sharif sought to distinguish himself from Musharraf, who is criticized by many Pakistanis as a stooge of the Bush administration. Sharif said that as premier he ignored U.S. advice not to conduct the nuclear test explosions that made Pakistan a nuclear power in 1998. "I never took dictation and made the country a nuclear power, but they (Musharraf's government) take dictation on every issue," Sarif said from the top of a truck carrying him in a triumphant procession from Lahore airport. Such nationalist posturing could entice some voters away from Bhutto, who has wooed America, Pakistan's biggest sponsor, by suggesting she might let U.S. troops strike at Osama bin Laden if he is located on Pakistani territory. Sharif is also a threat to the ruling party, most of whose leading figures broke away from his Pakistan Muslim League after Musharraf's 1999 coup. However, there was no immediate mass defection back to the Sharif fold and he has little time to organize a strong slate of candidates. Asked about Sharif's return, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said, "Pakistan won't be on the right road till it's back on the road of constitutional, democratic rule." He praised Musharraf's plan to step down as army chief. But he urged that the state of emergency be lifted before the election to give voters "confidence that their will has been legitimately expressed in the ballot box and the results will reflect their views." Even if Musharraf, 64, can mollify his critics and avoid a boycott of the vote, he will have to build bridges with the government that emerges as well as come to terms with a diminished role as president. Musharraf appears to retain the support of his fellow generals in the army, which has dominated Pakistan for most of its 60-year history. As president, he retains the constitutional power to fire the government and dissolve Parliament. However, Zaffar Abbas, an editor of the respected newspaper Dawn, said Musharraf's authority in the military will inevitably ebb as Kayani, who is expected to continue pro-Western policies, settles into the top job. Sharif said he would not serve again as prime minister while Musharraf remained president. He also could risk disqualification from the election because of a conviction handed down in the wake of Musharraf's coup. POLITICS Sen. Trent Lott announces retirement after 35 years in Congress ASSOCIATED PRESS BY MICHAEL KUNZELMAN PASCAGOULA, Miss. Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott announced Monday he would leave a 35-year career in Congress in which he epitomized the Republican's political takeover of the South after the civil rights struggles of the 1960s. Lott said he wanted to leave on a "positive note" after winning re-election last year to a leadership post and fostering legislation for rebuilding the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. He was first elected to Congress on the coattails of Richard Nixon's re-election landslide in 1972 — with 78 percent of the vote in Mississippi. He won election to the Senate in 1988, succeeding veteran Democrat John Stennis upon his retirement. His decision to retire by year's end occurred five years after he was bounced as the leader of his party in the Senate over remarks praising a Senate colleague that were interpreted as endorsing segregation. Lott, 66, rebounded a year ago, winning re-election to a fourth term in the Senate and narrowly defeating Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander for the party's No. 2 post lining up and counting votes as GOP whip behind Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. He becomes the sixth Senate Republican this year to announce retirement. Democrats effectively hold a 51-49 majority in the chamber, including two independents who align themselves with Democrats. Lott's retirement means that Republicans will have to defend 23 seats in next year's election, while Democrats will defend only 12. Lott said he wants to spend more time with his family and to pursue other job opportunities, possibly teaching. He ruled out any health concerns, but he said it's time for a younger voice to represent Mississippi in the Senate. "I don't know what the future holds for us," he said on behalf of himself and his wife, Tricia. "A lot of options, hopefully, will be available." Republican Gov. Haley Barbour will name someone to temporarily replace Lott. Barbour announced a special election for Nov. 4, 2008. Barbour won a second term this month, and said he will not name himself as Lott's replacement and will not run for the Senate. Lott said he had not planned to run for re-election in 2006, but he changed his mind after Hurricane Katrina devastated Mississippi's Gulf Coast and demolished his beachfront home in Pascagoula. "They didn't quit, so I couldn't quit," he said of his neighbors. More than two years later, however, Lott said Congress had completed most of the work it needs to do to help the Gulf Coast recover.

SPORTS BATTLE OF THE BIRDS PAGE 6B STEELERS SINK DOLPHINS 3-0 PAGE 6B THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM TUESDAY NOVEMBER 27, 2007 PAGE 1B HOMEGROWN Local talent influences Kansas lineup Brandon Rush Kansas City, Mo. Brennan Bechard Lawrence Tyrel Odey Buffington Brady Morningstar Lawrence Conner Teahan Leawood Brad Witherspoon Humboldt Matt Kleinmann Overland Park Self stays close to home when recruiting, fills roster with seven skilled area natives mdent@kansan.com BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Sometimes during pickup games at practice, Matt Kleinmann can't contain his excitement when he looks at the other four guys on his team: Tyrre Reed, Conner Teahan, Brady Morningstar and Brennan Bechard. All of them are from Kansas. "We'll be like, 'It's the natives versus the out-of-towners,'" Kleimann said. And the natives are taking over. This year's team has seven players who are either from Kansas or the Kansas City metropolitan area. Junior guard Brandon Rush hails from Kansas City, Mo., while six native Kansans stretch across the eastern part of the state from as far north as Leawood (Conner Teahan) to as far south as Humboldt (Brad Witherspoon). almost entirely to the out-of-towners. Former Kansas coach Roy Williams' best teams were overrun with Californians. Nineteen players came from the Golden State while Williams was here, from blue chips such as Adonis Jordan, Paul Pierce and Drew Gooden to walkons such as Joel Branstrom. Before Williams, just six Californians had played for Kansas, and only one has since he left in 2003. For whatever reason, Williams didn't mine the local talent. Only two local plays on the 1991 Final Four team, and the 1993 Final Four team had only three. That's the same number of local players that the 1996-1997 and 1997-1998 teams had. Those teams are generally regarded as the two best in the Williams era. A few years ago, Kansas basketball belonged It's not like Kansas or the Kansas City area was devoid of talent during this time. Matt Freije, JaRon Rush, Kareem Rush, Maurice Evans, Earl Watson, Taronn Lue and Korleone Young are just a few highly touted players whom Kansas didn't recruit or lost to other schools in the 1990s and early 2000s. More local players arrived toward the end of Williams' stay at Kansas. Five of them played for the Jayhawks in the 2001-2002 season, the most from 1990 until this year. Kansas coach Bill Self said he had recruited several local players because they could all play good basketball. "I don't look at it that way, that we have to get an in-state guy," Self said. "I look at it as we have to get the best guys. And if you have a player in state that's one of the best guys, you have to get him." freshman guards, played on the same AU team as Kansas City area native and future Jayhawk guard Travis Leeford. Teahan said that relationship probably helped Kansas sign Releford for next season. Of course, an abundance of local talent on the team isn't a bad thing. One local player can influence several more local players to come. Teahan and Reed, both "I think it would because he played with Tyrel and me so I could see him making a decision because he feels more comfortable around us," Teahan said. "It's good to have those connections." The local players also benefit by playing for their area college. If they ever get homesick or want to go home for a holiday, family is a short car ride away. Witherspoon lives the farst away of any of the locals, and his hometown of Humboldt is less than two hours from Lawrence. The short distance also means that players' families can watch their loved one play. Former Jayhawk and Leavenworth-native Wayne Simien's parents came to nearly Simien had been a fan of Kansas basketball all his life. Except for Rush, who said he only started following KU basketball when Self became coach, all the local players have been watching the Jayhawks since they were younger and playing for Kansas is the ultimate benefit. They adored Kansas basketball players when they were younger and wanted to be like them. Getting the opportunity to play for Kansas and carry on the tradition means something extra to the seven local players on the team. every home game and most road games. "That's the reason I chose KU," Teahan said. "Just because I love the tradition. I love everything around it. I was in awe every time I came to the games so I made my decision to come here pretty much strictly from being around here and seeing how special KU basketball is." Edited by Elizabeth Cattell the best local players Danny Manning, Lawrence, 1985-1988 — Manning led an average team to a national championship. He is not only the best local player, but the best player not named Wilt Chamberlain in Kansas history. B.H. Born, Medicine Lodge, 1951-1954 — Born finished third in career points after he finished his career and was named Most Outstanding Player of the 1952 NCAA Tournament. Kansas won the national championship that year. Wayne Simien, Leavenworth, 2001-2005 — Kansas coach Bill Self called Simien the best player he's ever coached. Unfortunately, his career was marred by injuries. Darnell Valentine, Wichita, 1978-81 - Valentine was named to the All-time Big Eight second team. He finished his Kansas career as the all-time leader in games, starts, minutes, assists and steals. HONORABLE MENTION Brandon Rush, Kansas City, Mo., 2005-present — Rush needs to lead the Jayhawks to a national championship if he wants to be remembered as fondly as some of the other players on this list. Dean Smith, Topeka, 1951-1953 and Adolph Rupp, Halstead, 1920-1923 — Well, they weren't great players, but they ended up pretty good at coaching. Bob Billings, Russell, 1957-1959 A street is named after him. Not too many people can claim that. Forest "Phop" Allen, Independence, Mo., 1905-1907 — He was James Naismith's star pupil on the court as a player and star learner off of it as a coach. the ones who got away Some of these players just didn't want to play for Kansas. Others didn't get recruited. For whatever reason, here are a few of the best local players Kansas missed out on. Lucius Allen, Kansas City, Kan.—Alen spurned his home state for John Wooden's UCLA Bruins in the 1960s. After college, he was drafted No. 3 overall and played in the NBA for 10 seasons. Maurice Evans, Wichita — Evans was heavily recruited by Kansas but chose Wichita State in 1997. He was supposed to bring the Shockers back to prominence but transferred after two seasons Earl Watson, Kansas City, Kan.—Roy Williams major target for point guard in 1997 was Baron Davis, a stud point guard from California. He was lukewarm about recruiting Watson, and Watson committed to UCLA while Williams waited for Davis' decision. In the end, Davis picked UCLA too. Watson started every game for his four years as a Bruin and now plays in the NBA for the Seattle Supersonics. to Texas. After not getting drafted, Evans is playing in his fourth NBA season and was recently traded to the Orlando Magic. Tyronn Lue, Raytown, Mo.—Lue won the grades or test scores necessary for a Division I program so most big-time programs backed off. Nebraska was the only one that stuck around and picked up Lue, who played for three seasons before entering the NBA Draft. Lue's biggest claim to fame throughout his nine-year NBA career was guarding Allen Iverson for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2001 NBA Finals. Matt Freiele, Overland Park—Williams heavily recruited Wayne Simien out of Leavenworth High School in 2001, but he forgot about Matt Freiele, Simiens conference rival from Shawnee Mission West the year before. Freiele went on to Vanderbilt where he led the Commodores to a sweet 16 appearance. He played in 19 games with the Atlanta Hawks last year. 14 6 --- 1 2B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS TUESDAY NOVEMBER 27, 2007 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2007 sports quote of the day "I thought it was going to go in.

Seven people died after a section of stands gave way as fans cheered at the end of a game, police said. Seven people die in collapse of Brazilian soccer stadium Sunday BY MICHAEL ASTOR ASSOCIATED PRESS RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — A stadium collapse that killed seven people highlighted the crumbling state of Brazil's soccer arenas less than a month after the country was chosen to host the 2014 World Cup, architects said Monday. The victims fell 49 feet through a 10-foot wide hole that opened in the concrete stands of the Fonte Nova stadium in Salvador, a coastal city of Bahia state. At least 40 people were injured in the accident Sunday night "Unhappily, a lot of stadiums have problems, some are in better conditions than others, but I think we could see another collapse like this if something isn't done," said Eduardo de Castro Mello, an architect who helped conduct a survey of soccer stadiums for the national association of engineering and architecture companies. The survey released Nov. 1 found that Fonte Nova, built in 1951, was the worst of 29 major soccer stadiums around the country. It featured pictures of crumbling support beams under the stands and deemed Fonte Nova in a "pitiful state." The survey was conducted to give authorities an idea of the condition of Brazil's major sports stadiums ahead of the 2014 World Cup. It said several other stadiums were of particular concern. Nilton Vasconcelos, Bahia's secretary of sports, said he feared the accident would hurt the state's chances of hosting the World Cup. Federal Sports Minister Orlando Silva de Jesus Jr. visited the stadium Monday and said it would likely have to be demolished. "Fonte Nova was a symbol of Brazilian soccer," Silva de Jesus said. Salvador — a major Brazilian tourism destination — would almost certainly get some of the games of the 2014 tournament. But Brazil did not include Fonte Nova as a possible venue in its preliminary list of 18 stadiums submitted to FIFA, soccer's governing body. Instead, Brazil proposed building a new stadium for Salvador in a different location by 2011. Officials insisted Brazil would have no problem playing host to the World Cup because the government planned to build new stadiums and extensively renovate existing ones. Mello said all but 20 percent of the Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia, the nation's capital, would have to be demolished and rebuilt. Brazil, which has won a record five World Cups, hosted the competition once before, in 1950. CRIME Redskins player shot at home Sean Taylor left in critical condition after burglary attempt 91 BY MATT SEDENSKY ASSOCIATED PRESS PALMETTO BAY, Fla. — Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor was in critical condition Monday after he was shot during what police were investigating as a possible armed robbery at his home. The 24-year-old player was in the intensive care unit following several hours of surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital, said family friend Richard Sharpstein, his former lawyer. He remained unconscious early Monday evening. Taylor lost a "significant" amount of blood because the bullet damaged his femoral artery, and doctors were worried about blood flow to the brain, added Sharpstein, who was at the hospital with the player's family and friends. Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was shot at his Florida home, according to a statement released Monday by the team. Taylor is in critical condition in a Miami hospital after losing a "significant" amount of blood. ASSOCIATED PRESS The shooting came eight days after another invasion was reported at his home. According to police records, someone pried open a front window, rifled through drawers and left a kitchen knife on a bed. Officers were sent to Taylor's home at about 1:45 a.m. Monday after Taylor's girlfriend called 911 and said he was shot in his lower body, Miami-Dade Police Lt. Nancy Perez said. Taylor had missed the last two games because of a knee injury and was at home recuperating. He was airlifted to the hospital. Investigators were still interviewing the girlfriend and other relatives in the home, Perez said. No arrests have been made. "It could have been a possible burglary; it could have been a possible robbery," Perez said. "It has not been confirmed as yet." Sharpstein said Taylor's girlfriend told him the couple was awakened by loud noises, and Taylor grabbed a machete he keeps in the bedroom for protection. Someone then broke through the bedroom door and fired two shots, one missing and one hitting Taylor, the lawyer said. The shooting happened at the house Taylor bought two years ago in the Miami suburb of Palmetto Bay. Taylor is in his fourth season with the Redskins. He was an All-American in 2003 for the University of Miami. Despite his injury, he is tied for the NFC lead for interceptions. Redskins owner Dan Snyder arrived in Miami on his private plane with running back Clinton Portis, vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato and trainer Bubba Tyer. A group of Taylor's fans planned a two-hour vigil Monday evening outside Redskins Park in Ashburn, Va. "This is not just a member of the Washington Redskins," said Redskins safety Pierson Prioleau. "But we're talking about a dad, a brother, a friend of ours, and that's where we're at with this right now." WHAT ARE YOU WISHING FOR THIS YEAR?

The bowl pairings and final BCS Standings will be announced at 7 p.m. on FOX (Sunflower Broadband channel 4). If Missouri defeats Oklahoma in Saturday's Big 12 Championship, Kansas most likely will appear in the Fiesta Bowl Jan. 2 in Glendale, Ariz. If Oklahoma wins, Kansas could miss out on the BCS bowls completely and fall to the Cotton Bowl, which is Jan. 1 in Dallas, Oklahoma is currently a three-point favorite going into Saturday's game. MORE MCANDERSON, LESS SHARP Sophomore running back Jake Sharp, whose role had decreased substantially in the past few weeks, carried the ball only once and gained no yardage against Missouri. Sharp carried much of the load early in the season, gaining 788 rushing yards on 138 carries and scoring seven rushing touchdowns. Sharp also caught 17 passes in the regular season. In Sharp's absence, senior running back Brandon McAnderson established himself as the Jayhawks' feature back. McAnderson finished the regular season with 1,050 rushing yards and 16 rushing touchdowns. >> COMMENTARY Low student attendance adds to weekend disappointments 6:13 p.m. Sunday — The grumblings from a group of students sitting in the front row of Allen Fieldhouse said it best. "This is embarrassing," a student in a white Mario Chalmers jersey said. "This is Kansas versus Arizona live on ESPN and there's nobody here." The biggest travesty of the Thanksgiving weekend wasn't Kansas's first-half performance against Missouri. It wasn't Kansas Athletics' decision to rob Kansas of a home game against Missouri, either. It wasn't even my mom's decision not to make pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dinner. No, the most unforgivable sin of the weekend was the KU students' attendance on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse. Ever felt like head-butting the Jayhawk statue in front of Strong Hall? You might have if you were there. BY RUSTI DODD KANSAN COLUMNIST RDDD@KANSAN.COM 6:37 p.m. Sunday — “Here's a riddle for you,” Kansan basketball beat writer Mark Dent said while gazing up at the deserted student section of Allen Fieldhouse. If Kansas plays a basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse, and no students are around to see it, does it make a sound? The thing is, Sunday night's lack of student attendance made about as much sense as Christmas music in August. This wasn't Kansas versus Tahiti Tech. This was Art-FREAKIN-Zona. Here you had a matchup of two programs with a combined 16 Foulones and a colorful rivalry. You had three future NBA first-round picks in Kansas' Darrell Arthur and Brandon Rush, and Arizona's Chase Budinger. The game was good enough for the handful of NBA scouts in attendance. Former Jayhawks Greg Ostertag and Milk Newton showed up. So did ESPN analyst Jay Bilas. You know that warm, tingly feeling you get when Bilas or another ESPN talking head gushes over how great Allen Fieldhouse fans are? Well, guess what? When Bilas turned his head to the right last night, he saw somewhere between 500-1,000 empty seats. 7:27 p.m. Sunday — Midway through the first half on Sunday, the student section of Allen Fieldhouse was finally occupied by a few stragglers taking advantage of the extra leg room. I could only imagine Kansas radio broadcaster Bob Davis announcing, "If you're driving around Lawrence and you've got nothing better to do, the No. 4 team in the country is playing in the most hallowed basketball venue in the country and there are still plenty of good seats available" A myriad of excuses can be offered for Sunday's attendance debacle. But don't buy them. It shouldn't matter that it was the Sunday of Thanksgiving break. It. shouldn't matter that fans might have been burnt out after Armageddon at Arrowhead. It shouldn't matter that the use of electronic student tickets made it harder to give away basketball tickets to friends. Allen Fieldhouse should be packed to the rafters for every Kansas basketball game. Period. 8:27 p.m. Sunday — Maybe people got on the phone to friends about the abundance of open seats, or maybe some people just spread out a little bit to cover up the section of empty seats. Whatever it was, the student section was modestly filled late in the second half to watch Kansas pull off a frustrating but thrilling victory against Arizona And the students who were at the game were lively, energetic and loud. They deserve to be lauded. Too bad there weren't 500 more just like them. My colleague at The Kansas, Shawn Shroyer, was critical of Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins in yesterday's Kansan. Shroyer — like many — questioned Perkins' decision to sacrifice a Memorial Stadium home-field advantage for the million-dollar payday at Arrowhead Stadium. He could be right. Maybe the Jayhawks would have fared better in the Border War if they had played at Memorial Stadium. But for everyone who criticized Lew Perkins' decision, here's a question: Were you at Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday night? He was keeping a seat warm for you. — Edited by Rachel Bock GUEST COMMENTARY Mizzou isn't No.1 in Vegas Oddsmakers don't depend on rankings to pick favorites BY TIM DAHLBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS The Bowl Championship Series computer thinks Missouri is the best college football team in the country. So, too, do a group of pollsters who are charged with the weekly task of rating teams. Down on the Las Vegas Strip though, the Tigers aren't even rated the best team in their next game against No. 9 Oklahoma. For decades, people who follow college football have tried to figure out surefire ways to crown legitimate national champions, with varying degrees of success. In recent years the BCS has taken over with a system that forges a playoff in favor of computers and polls. There are, of course, better ways. Here's one: Why not just turn it over to the oddsmakers, who rate with their wallets instead of a ballot? "We do it for a living. If we send out bad numbers we're going to lose clients," said Mike Seba, senior oddsmaker at Las Vegas Sports Consultants, which sets much of the Vegas line. "We have to be right." Being right in this case means Oklahoma is a 3-point favorite against Missouri in a game the Tigers must win to get in the BCS championship. Bettors seem to be in agreement with it if the wagers so far are any indication. But don't stop there. Southern Cal is ranked No. 8 in the BCS and doesn't have a shot at the national title game after two midseason losses. Put the Trojans on a neutral field with Missouri right now, and USC would be at least a 3-point favorite and possibly more to beat the No.1 team in the country. The same goes for once-beaten Ohio State "The polls are just a measuring stick for popularity," said Jay Kornegay, who runs the sports book at the Las Vegas Hilton. "It's like voting for prom queen." The polls sometimes give you great matchups, like Texas-USC two years ago. But this year's possible title game likely will have little interest outside of two awfully small media markets in Missouri and West Virginia. But network executives say no matter the matchup, the game likely will draw about 30 million viewers and dominate that night's schedule. If Oklahoma beats Missouri and West Virginia is upset by rival Pittsburgh, the third- and fourth-place teams in the BCS standings should move into the title game. One is Ohio State, but the other is Georgia, a team that didn't even get into its own conference title game FOX is paying $80 million this year for four of the five BCS games, including the Jan. 7 national title game in New Orleans. Last year, it got a premier matchup between Florida and Ohio State for its money "That would probably be the nightmare scenario," said Charles Davis, who will be in the BOX booth as an analyst for the BCS title game. Of course, everything about the championship game could change next weekend. Davis thinks USC is probably the best team in the country right now, but the way the BCS system is set up it is almost impossible for a team with two losses to make the title game. That has pursists screaming for a playoff system that would clearly identify the best two teams the way it is done in college basketball. Davis said the current system works to the extent that people are at least talking about possible matchups Hawaii is the only undefeated major college team this year but didn't move up in the rankings because of a weak schedule. There are four teams with just one loss, and the main criteria about where they are ranked seems to be that the earlier the loss the better the ranking. BYU won its championship doing the same thing Hawaii is doing this year — beating everyone else, something that has gotten Hawaii only a No. 12 ranking in the BCS. The Cougars didn't even play in a major bowl, winning the Holiday Bowl, but were voted in The Associated Press final poll as the top team in the country. This season's Rose Bowl could end up being the most intriguing of the bowls, assuming USC beats UCLA this weekend and Ohio State doesn't move into the BCS title game. The Rose Bowl traditionally gets the highest ratings of any of the bowl games except the BCS championship game, which will be played six days in prime time and have the entire college audience to itself. "If someone earns their way in, what's the downside?" he asked. "BYU won it all in 1984, and the earth did not spin off its axis." "A game with Ohio State would probably get a better rating, but FOX isn't in the game for a one and out," said Pilson, who formerly headed CBS Sports. "The BCS game is approaching the Super Bowl as a stand-alone game where the matchups don't matter as much. I don't think FOX is too concerned. I think they're excited by the twists and turns and drama this year." Because of that, television sports consultant Neal Pilson said, FOX probably isn't too worried about a matchup with two teams lacking star power. tackle Anthony Collins struggled through the Missouri game after sitting out against Iowa State one week earlier. Junior cornerback Kendrick Harper did not start against Missouri but played several snaps from scrimmage. Junior safety Patricia Resby, — Asher Fusco A NEEDED REST It will be at least a month before the Jayhawks play their next game. The lengthy layoff could benefit a squad that coach Mark Mangino said could use some rest. Junior offensive who was injured several weeks ago in practice, played only on special teams Saturday. Sophomore safety Justin Thornton replaced Resby in the starting lineup.

She poured in another 12 in the SMU loss, showing that she can provide a great spark off the bench. But those two games were played in Dallas, a 40-minute drive from Jacobs' home town, Mansfield, Texas. It will be interesting to see whether she can continue to play that well without as many old friends and family members in the stands. COUNTDOWN TO KICK-OFF QUESTION MARK How will Kansas rebound from its first loss of the season? The Jayhawks have nearly found themselves on the wrong side of the scoreboard a few times, but SMU handed them their first loss of the year and it wasn't all that close (68-56). How will this team respond from its real real disappointment? The one thing coach Henrickson can't afford is a hangover from her team that results in another loss.

CREIGHTON 7 tonight, Allen Fieldhouse OFFENSE Kansas won only one of its two holiday break games, but coach Bonnie Henrickson had to come away feeling even better about her offense than she did go in. Coming into the year, sophomores Danielle McCray and Sade Morris were expected to lead the team in scoring. They've both played well, and in her first game, freshman Nicollette Smith also showed an ability to pour in the points. Now a fourth scoring threat has emerged in sophomore LaChelda Jacobs, who averaged 13.5 points in the Jayhawks two games last weekend. Kansas has had little trouble getting points from its guards, and if freshman Krysten Boogaard or senior Taylor McIntosh can establish some consistency on the block, it will be a well-balanced machine. ★★★☆ DEFENSE It's still early in the year, so there is time for improvement, but the Kansas defense has not looked good for an entire game once this season. The Jayhawks have let teams come back from double digit leads to nearly win, and they allowed one player to take over a game and prevent them from winning. Against Drake they had a 14-point lead with less than 15 minutes left but the Bulldogs continued to get offensive rebounds, which led to 17 second-chance points that kept them in the game. Kansas played a good first half against SMU, going into the break tied at 25. In the second half, however, 6-foot-3 forward Janielle Dodds took over, finishing with 29 points and 11 rebounds. Right now Oklahoma All-American Courtne Paris is dreaming about this defense. OFFENSE ★★★☆★★ COACHING Henrickson needs to work on a really stellar halftime speech that helps her team keep up its intensity. Kansas has either led or been tied at the break every game, and every game the Jayhawks have nearly lost the lead and in one case lost the game. They tend to come out flat in the second half, which Henrickson could do something about. She has a plethora of options offensively, and the defense will hopefully get better. The main thing Henrickson needs to teach her players right now is how to keep that fire after halftime and finish an opponent. In its three victories, Kansas has had a significant lead at some point in the second half but nearly lost. SMU showed the Jayhawks what will happen when they don't play well late and don't have a double-digit lead to depend on. Creighton doesn't rely on one player to carry the offense. In fact, no player averages more than 10 points per game and 10 players see more than 14 minutes of playing time per contest. However, scoring balance hasn't hindered the Bluejays as they average 69.8 points per game by virtue of accurate three-point and free-throw shooting. Creighton returned four of last season's top five scores in seniors Sara Cain and Ally Thrall and sophomores Megan Neuvirth and Sam Schuett. That firepower has driven the team to a 4-1 start with the only loss coming at then-No. 6 Rutgers. ★★★☆★ ★★☆☆ DEFENSE The Bluejays are outscoring opponents by nearly 13 points per game, despite a 19 point setback at Rutgers. Creighton doesn't block shots or record many steals but solid team defense, as well as constant substitutions, has allowed the team to improve on last season's disappointing defensive performance. By keeping opponents off the offensive slate spite a 19, many steals b lowed the team t mance.

Kansas will need strong performances from senior forward Taylor McIntosh and sophomore forward Porscha Weddington on the glass. — Taylor Bern ★★★☆☆ COACHING Jim Flanery is in the midst of his sixth season as head coach and his 16th as a member of the Creighton coaching staff. In his time in charge, the team has been a part of three WNIT Final Fours and was champion in 2004. Last season the Bluejays made a surprise run to the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Championship game after fin- ment Championship game after fining sixth in regular season play. Despite losing to Drake, Flauney seems to be moving the team in the right direction as young players like Megan Neuvirth and Sam Schuett should develop into standout players during their time in Omaha. Sade Morris — Andrew ★★★ ☆☆ CU KICK-OFF PLAYER TO WATCH Senior forward Sara Cain QUESTION MARK Senior forward Sara Cain Cain averages 9.4 points and five rebounds in only 18 minutes per game. The 6-1 senior forward also shoots an impressive 40 percent from behind the arc. Kansas has been able to slow down other perimeter-oriented post players using Sade Morris as a defensive stopper. If Kansas can keep Cain from replicating last season's MVC Tournament performance, she averaged 15.7 points, it should be able to outscore Creighton. >> NFL Kansas relies on the sophomore guards' dribble penetration to spread the floor and create easy points. Creighton's guards must keep McCray and Morris in front of them to minimize foul trouble in the post and force Kansas to take contested jump shots. The Bluejays will most likely rotate a number of players on the two and may use zone defenses to slow down the imposing duo. Can Creighton stop Danielle McCray and Sade Morris? Disastrous field produces lowest score in 14 years Steelers (8-3) manage field goal, slip past Dolphins (0-11) on wet field 39 52 ASSOCIATED PRFS Pittsburgh Steelers running back Willie Parker runs into Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder, right, after a first quarter gain in NFL football action in Pittsburgh on Monday. 10 Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter, right, is upended after he intercepted a pass in the first quarter of the game Monday. The newly installed field was wet from rain. ASSOCIATED PRES BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH — Trudging through the quagmire of Heinz Field, the Dolphins and Steelers nearly went all night without scoring. Instead, what they ended up with was the lowest scoring game in 14 years when Jeff Reed's 24-yard field goal with 17 seconds left gave the Steelers a 3-0 victory Monday night against winless Miami (0-11). It was the first 3-0 game in the NFL since the Jets beat visiting Washington on Dec. 11, 1993. The only scoring drive started on the Dolphins' 42 after Miami punted out of its end zone. Ben Roethlisberger drove the Steelers into field goal range with completions of 21, 11 and 6 yards to Hines Ward. The field was covered during the daylong rain, but so much water found its way under the protective tarps and there were numerous puddles and mushy spots once the covering was removed. Wide receivers slipped on several pass plays, and running backs repeatedly lost their footing after tacklers arrived. Reed, who had missed badly from 45 yards earlier on a raindrenched field, came through after Roethlisberger was sacked on third down. The field conditions created the absence of offense. After five high school and college games were played at Heinz Field last weekend, crews hurriedly put down a new layer of sod onethe chewed-up turf for Monday night's game. Late in the third quarter, Brandon Fields' punt from near the Miami goal line came straight down and plugged in the drenched turf like an arrow, burying itself several inches deep. A few minutes later, Pittsburgh kicker Jeff Reed's 45-yard field goal attempt into a swirling wind and rain fell far short. Reed had missed only once previously in 19 tries this season, a 60-yarder in Denver. 7 ASSOCIATED PRESS I Pittsburgh Steeleers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, right, looks to pass as he runs away from Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor in the first quarter of the game.

City Commission members postponed their decision to approve or disapprove the plan and use public tax money to fund the developers. The Commission moved to make the developers propose Oread Inn's design before the Historic Resources Commission again because the design had changed drastically since the Historic Resources Commission voted unanimously to deny it in September. City Commissioners said they could not make a proper judgment on whether its design was as feas- sible as it could be and if the new design, which featured a smaller mass and different aesthetics, would be approved by the Historic Resources Commission The Historic Resources Commission will discuss Oread Inn during its next meeting in December. The City Commission will discuss it again in January after it has reviewed the HRC's decision and the feasibility of the building design. The Historic Resources Commission voted against the development plan of the Oread Inn in September mainly because of its height. Oread Inn's developers argued that seven-floor height of the building is the only feasible way to build it. They said the hotel's profit after three years would be $1 million if it was "This project is too good and is too valuable to the community," Mayor Sue Hack said. "We can't have the process color it in any way." seven stories tall. If it were only six stories tall, the hotel would lose $900,000 because of the hotel would contain fewer rooms. Oread Inn is a seven-story structure that would feature condos, restaurants, 74 hotel rooms and an underground parking garage. It would be 94 feet tall, which is about 50 feet shorter than Fraser Hall. The Oread Inn plan also calls for reconstruction of the intersection of 12th and Oread Streets. If it is built, the Crossing, the Yello Sub building, Big Burrito and Beat the Bookstore would be demolished. Management of the Crossing said two weeks ago that the bar would close Dec. 6 and would be demolished sometime during Winter Break.

Philip Nadeau said last month's opening of a smokers' lounge at the Cigar & Smoke Shoppe next door coincided with the arrival of the new scent. A thin wall separates the two businesses. "The smell is atrocious." Nadeau said. "It's more than atrocious, it's horrible." Frank Cogilotte said his cigar shop has a sophisticated air purification system and believes the pizza shop's exhaust fan directly above the oven is causing the problem. The two businessmen say they're working on a solution. "I'm not trying to point blame, I'm trying to fix the problem," said Nadeau. Cogilore agrees. "We want nothing but peace and harmony. We're doing everything on my end to pull that all together" he said. The Cigar & Smoke Shoppe's smoking lounge, where customers can relax and watch TV with a cigar in hand, has been granted one of 14 exceptions to a 2004 state law that prohibits smoking in enclosed areas of public places.

McBride was nominated for the HOPE Award in 2004, 2005 and 2006. BY JEFF DETERS jdeters@kansan.com On Sunday afternoons, Edward McBride doesn't watch a lot of TV. He instead leads review sessions for classes that he doesn't teach. McBride, lecturer in civil, environmental and architectural engineering, was one of two recipients of this year's HOPE Award. "It's an ego trip." McBride said. "I mean, you work yourself to death for these kids and they reward you. I mean, if they didn't appreciate it, it would be most disappointing. But they do appreciate it, obviously, and that makes it very, very rewarding." In addition to his Sunday review sessions, which last an hour or two each, he also has one review session details Leward McInnis, lecturer in engineering, and Craig Martin, professor and chair of the division of biological sciences, were the winners of this year's HOPE Award on Nov.17. The senior class votes each year on the award, which is given to a faculty member for service in teaching. It was the second time in school history the award was given to two faculty members. during the week. It is not uncommon for more than 30 students to attend each session. McBride said preparing for the review sessions was time consuming because he had to work through many different concepts, formulas and theories. But he said he was comfortable teaching them because the fundamentals of mathematics and science were the same for each subject in the field of engineering. McBride grew up in Lawrence and earned his undergraduate and doctorate degrees in engineering mechanics from the University of Kansas. After college he spent 20 years working in the engineering industry and later worked as an independent consultant. His consulting business struggled after 9/11, and MrBride was ready to retire. On a trip back to Lawrence he talked with some members of the department, and they encouraged him to teach. He began teaching at the University in 2003 and was nominated for the HOPE-Award the last three years. McBride's father and former engineering professor Edward Sr. also won the award in 1974. Grant Taylor, Aurora Ill., junior, has been going to McBride's review sessions for about two years now. He took statics class with McBride and said the teacher was not afraid to challenge the textbook and that he was a very deserving choice for the HOPE Award. "I don't think it could have gone to a better professor." Tailor said. Erin Lewis, Fort Scott junior, has been attending the review sessions since she was a freshman. She was a student in his thermodynamics and fluids classes. She said McBride was enthusiastic about teaching, and the award was a reflection of how thankful the students were to him. "We really respect him," she said. "It's awesome that there's a teacher you know you can go to get help on just about any subject." Next semester McBride plans to have review sessions again on Sundays and said that was something students could expect from him in the future. "That's why these kids voted for me," he said. "They appreciate it. That's neat. You feel like you've done something worthwhile."

Candace Hogue, Overland Park senior and co-coordinator of Mentors in the Lives of Children, a program run by the center which is largely involved with the holiday party, said that the center has already held toy drives and collected about 200 toys, but still needs about 1.000. "(The toy drives) have been slight- successful, but not compared to what were used to "Hogue said. Janet Murphy, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, said that children from the Boys and Girls club have been attending the holiday party for six years donations What to give.

She said that several student groups, including the Asian Student Union and Hillel, a Jewish service organization, also participated in the party to teach children about how the holidays are celebrated in different cultures.

DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS The University of Kansas 》SUA Students can help grant wishes A FIRST THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE GROUP FOR YOUR ELEVEN STAR ANNOUNCEMENTS AT THE CHRISTMAS TREE. WISHES ARE RECEIVED FROM: Andrew Ford, Kansas City, Mo., senior, takes a look at request cards on the Salvation Army Angel Giving Tree inside the Kansas Union on Tuesday afternoon. Each card has a number that corresponds with a child that shares whether they are a boy or girl, their age, and what they would like for Christmas. BY KATE AUGUST kaugust@ku.edu Andrew Wacker/KANSAN As the holidays near, people begin to stress about how much shopping time is left and where they can go to get the best bargain. Meanwhile, numerous children will wake up on Christmas morning to empty stockings and no presents under their Christmas tree—if they have a tree at all. The University of Kansas provides an opportunity through Winter Wishes for anyone to make the holidays a brighter season for these children. The Winter Wishes program, administered at the University by Student Union Activities in conjunction with the Salvation Army, began November 12 and will end Thursday, December 6. The program sets up trees in numerous locations around campus, with the most noteworthy being in the Kansas and Burge Unions. Each tree has snowmen hung from its branches that represent children whose parents will be unable to afford Christmas presents. Students who wish to participate in the program can "adopt" a snowman. SUA Special Events Coordinator Lauren Lakebrink said SUA was excited to continue to have the opportunity to provide gifts to the less fortunate children of Douglas County and that the organization had worked hard to make donating safe for students. Throughout the past couple of weeks, Jones said she had tried to convince others to get involved. But she said she didn't want people to participate only for their image, but because they really wanted to make a difference. The Christmas lists of children are printed on each snowman. After purchasing a gift, students are to return the present to the SUA box office. Lakebrink said gifts should cost around $25 and should be turned in unwrapped. Lakebrink said that a student could pick a snowman off of a tree at any location on campus. Then the student can rip off the code at the bottom. The student records the number in the notebook that "It's an opportunity to make a child's Christmas a real Christmas," she said. "A chance for you to put a smile on someone's face that probably wouldn't have been there in the first place." Tyesha Jones, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, SUA Special Events committee, said not only did she help set up the event, but she also bought a is next to the tree. The code indicates which child the gift is for and what gift the child has requested. Students put the snowman back on the tree when they are done. Jones said she felt a deeper connection to this cause than most gift for a child. causes. As a first generation college student, she learned at a young age that not every child gets lots of Christmas presents. "I picked a child that wasn't asking for much. That way, I can surprise her and make the day really special," she said. For more information concerning Winter Wishes, contact Lauren Lakebrink, head of SUA Special Events, at (785) 864-2432. INTERNATIONAL Edited by Rachael Gray 'Urban guerrillas'join rioting French youth Unrest in poor areas grows more violent with use of firearms ASSOCIATED PRESS VILLIERS-LE-BEL, France — Police reinforcements streamed into the tough suburbs north of Paris on Tuesday after a second night of rioting by bands of youths who have burned cars and buildings and — in an ominous turn — shot at officers. A senior police union official warned that "urban guerrillas" had joined the unrest, saying the violence was worse than during three weeks of rioting that raged around French cities in 2005, when firearms were rarely used. More than 80 officers were reported injured overnight. The violence presented new President Nicolas Sarkozy with a stern test. And it showed that anger still smolders in France's poor neighborhoods, where many Arabs, blacks and other minorities live largely isolated from the rest of society. Residents claimed the officers left the scene without helping the teenage boys. Authorities cast doubt on the claim, but said they were investigating. Rioting and arson erupted Sunday night, with youths attacking a police station. The violence worsened Monday night as it spread from Villiers-le-Bel to other impoverished suburbs north of the French capital. Rioters burned a library, a nursery school and a car dealership and tried to set some buildings on fire by crashing burning cars into them. The trigger was the deaths Sunday of two minority teens when their motorscooter collided with a police car in Villiers-le-Bel, a blue-collar town on Paris's northern edge. One rioter with a shotgun "was firing off two shots, reloading in a stairwell, coming back out — boom, boom — and firing again," said Gilles Wiart, No. 2 official in the SGP-FO police union. More police moved in Tuesday trying to prevent a third night of rioting, as officials sought to keep the upheaval from spreading to other impoverished areas as happened two years ago. Youths, many of them Arab and black children of immigrants, again appeared to be lashing out at police and other targets seen to represent a French establishment they feel has Patrice Ribeiro of the Synergie police union said rioters this time included "genuine urban guerrillas", saying the use of firearms — hunting shotguns so far — had added a dangerous dimension. Police said 82 officers were injured Monday night, 10 of them by buckshot and pellets. Four were seriously wounded, the force said. Police unions said 30 officers were struck by buckshot. "I don't think it's an ethnic problem," Wiart said. "Most of all it is youths who reject all state authority. They attack firefighters, everything that represents the state." Suspicion of the police runs hgn among people in the drab housing project where the two teenagers died in the crash. The boys were identified in French media only by their first names, Lakhami, 16, and Mouhsin, 15. left them behind. Despite decades of problems and heavy state investments to improve housing and create jobs, the depressed projects that ring Patis are a world apart from the tourist attractions of the capital. Police speak of no-go zones where they and firefighters fear to patrol. There have long been tensions between France's largely white police force and the ethnic minorities trapped in poor neighborhoods. "The problem of bad relations between the police and minorities is underestimated," said criminologist Sebastian Roche. Sarkozy was interior minister, in charge of police, during the riots of 2005 and took a hard line against the violence. He angered many in housing projects when he called delinquents there "scum." Sarkozy, speaking from China, appealed for calm and called a security meeting with his Cabinet ministers for Wednesday on his return home. The roiting youths "want Sarkozy — they want him to come and explain" what happened to the two teenage boys, said Linda Beddar, a 40-year-old mother of three in Villiers-le-Bel. Beddar woke tuesday to find the library across from her house a burned-out shell. The violence two years ago also started in the suburbs of northern Paris, when two teens were electrocuted in a power substation while hiding from police. The government is keen to keep the new violence from spreading. "We will not let go. We will fight with all the force the nation is capable of," Prime Minister Francois Fillon told firefighters in Villiers-le-Bel. Fillon spoke with a firefighter who was shot by rioters and handled the bullet that was extracted from the man's arm. In Villiers-le-Bel, arsonists set fire to the municipal library and burned books littered its floor Tuesday. Shops and businesses were also attacked, and more than 70 vehicles were torched, authorities said. Rioters even rammed burning cars into buildings, trying to set the structures on fire, authorities said. Police reported six arrests. Several hundred youths organized in small groups led the rioting in Villiers-le-Bel, and incidents were also reported in five other towns north of Paris, the regional government reported. It refused to give specific figures on injuries among the police, rioters or other civilians, or the numbers of cars and buildings set on fire, saying it feared that doing so would encourage youths to try to wound more officers and destroy more property.

The preliminary total for the season: 14 named storms, five of them hurricanes, two of them major. That was less activity than the government predicted before the season started, and stands in stark contrast to 2004 and 2005, when the U.S. was hit by one devastating storm after another, including Hurricane Katrina. Friday marks the official close of the Atlantic season, so unless a storm forms in the next few days, only one hurricane — and a minor one at that — will have hit the U.S. during the June-to-November period. Mexico and Central America, however, were struck by a record two top-scale Category 5 storms. However, forecasters and emergency managers warned that one result of the good year for the country may be increased skepticism when they urge people to stock up on food and draw up their hurricane evacuation plans for next year. "Now that we've gone a couple of years without major hurricanes will the public be more apathetic before the next hurricane season? The answer is also lutely," said Craig Fugate, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. "The further we get away from these types of events ... the more complacent people become, and that's the challenge we have to continue to fight." dent of the Insurance Information Institute, said the industry saw about a 20 percent increase in the number of flood policies sold in Gulf Coast states in the two years after Katrina. But about one in five new policies is not being renewed, he said. The season were on the low end of the 13 to 17 government scientists predicted. The five hurricanes didn't reach the seven to 10 forecast. The two major hurricanes were also below the three to five predicted. "People believe they've rode out the worst of the storm, so to speak," Hartwig said. "Nothing could be further from the truth." He warned that the failure of homeowners to renew their policies is "a tragedy in the making." The season's 14 named storms Similarly, Robert Hartwig, presi- "People believe they've rode out the worst of the storm, so to speak. Nothing could be further from the truth." ROBERT HARTWIG Insurance Information Institute president State University weat her researcher William Gray was farther off the mark. Before the start of the season, he forecast 17 named storms, includ- water in the Pacific that normally boosts the formation of hurricanes, had weaker-than-expected effects. The government's 2006 preseason forecast proved overly pessimistic as well. Scientists predicted 13 to 16 named storms, eight to 10 of them hurricanes, with four to six of them major. Instead, there were nine named storms and five hurricanes, two of them major. Bell said that this marks the second "near normal" season in a row. However, storm activity tends to go in cycles, and he said the Atlantic "Now that we've gone a couple of years without major hurricanes will the public be more apathetic before the next hurricane season?" U. S. in two years. It was blamed for one death and $30 million in damage. ing nine hurricanes, five of them major, with a strong chance that a major hurricane would hit the U.S. coast. CRAIG FUGATE Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Gerry Bell, a hurricane forecaster at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the season was relatively quiet largely because La Nina, a cooling of the Humberto, a Category 1 storm that hit Texas and Louisiana in September, was the first hurricane to strike the is still believed to be in a more active hurricane period that began in 1995. Forecasters underestimated the 2005 season, which proved the busiest on record, with 28 named storms, including 15 hurricanes, four of which hit the U.S. That year brought Katrina. the costliest natural disaster in American history. Despite the overpredictions for the 2006 and 2007 seasons, Bell said the government's forecasts are still valuable, stressing that they remind coastal residents they need to be prepared. "Generally our forecasts have been very good," he said. Mike Stone of the Florida Division of Emergency Management said emergency managers don't base stockpiles or hurricane preparations on the government's forecast. Instead, he said, they have standing contracts for ice, meals and other perishables, and they can call on the suppliers when they need the items. COUPON SAVE ON SUBS WHEN KU SCORES BIG!

When the grand jury was dismissed for the day, the men left without commenting, as did Kohl. A Blackwater spokeswoman said Tuesday its employees are banned from using steroids or other enhancement drugs but declined to comment on the other charges detailed in the 18-page lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed Monday on behalf of five Iraqis who were killed and two who were injured during the Sept. 16 shooting in Baghdad's Nisoor Square. The shootings enraged the Iraqi government, and the Justice Department began to investigate whether it could bring criminal charges in the case, despite the State Department's promised limited immunity to the Blackwater guards.

A senior U.S. law enforcement official confirmed Tuesday that government investigators were looking at whether the Blackwater guards were authorized to be in the square at the time of the shooting. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation. The civil complaint offers new details of the incident that has strained In an interview, lead plantiff attorney Susan L. Burke said private investigators turned up the new evidence through interviews with people in Iraq and the United States "who would have reason to know." Those people did not include government officials, Burke said, and she declined to comment when asked if they include Blackwater employees. relations between the United States and Iraq, which is demanding the right to launch its own prosecution of the Blackwater bodyguards. The civil lawsuit does not specify how much money the victims and their families are seeking from Blackwater, its 11 subsidiaries and founder, Erik Prince, all of whom are named as defendants. "We're looking for compensatory (damages) because the people who were killed were the breadwinners in their families," Burke said. "And we're looking for punitive in a manner that suffices to change the corporation's conduct. We have a real interest in holding them accountable for what were completely avoidable deaths."

That jolly mood comes especially following all the money that was spent on Black Friday and over the weekend, which began the debt that many of us will experience over the holidays. On the academic level, we are all starting to make more frequent trips to the library in anticipation of and in preparation for finals. Oh joy! In the spirit of the holidays, I wanted to do a mini-recap of what we have to be joyous about. Although to some, finals can only be comparable with torture, others may see finals as just those last few tests left to pass in order to move on to another semester at KU. Obviously, your preparation and the amount you have riding on that final test grade depends on the previous months. But either way, just remember, it's almost over and you survived another semester. We then get to look forward to at least a couple weeks of serenity and relaxation before grades come out. Then a couple more weeks to forget those grades and come up with our "new strategy" for things we are going to do differently next semester to improve those grades. That is, of course, unless you're golden and you're lucky enough to have discovered that strategy early on. Your next couple of weeks are going to be cake. Aside from the end in sight, one thing that isn't over quite yet is the football team's post-season. First of all, as upset and downright livid as I was that we lost on Saturday, we all still have to be damn pleased with the way the season went. Our football team, KU's football team, just went 11-1 and had the best record in 108 years, and all in all is the best football season in KU history. We were eligible for brag about, leaving out the name of the devils that took that chance from us. I have also thoroughly enjoyed being able to say that I am attending the only college that has two top five teams. On that note, lets not forget the main reason we came to KU: The basketball season. The exciting, close call with Arizona this past weekend cured every one's hangover blues from Saturday and reminded us that we still have another season of Kansas sports ahead of us. If the semester being almost over and two winning Kansas programs isn't enough to make you jolly or fill you with holiday cheer, I've got a couple of less shallow ones to throw at you. All semester in my columns I have been pleading with people to not judge anyone, appreciate the finer things in life or volunteer and help out. If you've never felt the desire to or understood the satisfaction of helping others in need, try it now. If you're more of a material giver than a time giver, that extra $20 you were going to spend can be donated to a charity or can help buy Christmas gifts to give to Toys for Tots. Even offering to help a neighbor hang lights or doing something special with your significant other perpetuates those holiday feelings. Finals, sports and being able to help through charities don't sound like a very extensive thankful list, but it's a start. My point is, as great as finals and sports are, the fact that we are able to participate in them is something we all should be thankful for. We, unlike millions of people, were able to attend the college of our choice. Along with those blessings, and many others, which include being able to realize our own fortunes, we are capable of spreading our cheer with others. And since I get the extra pull of having my own column, I'm going to spread a little of my own special holiday cheer. Happy Holidays to all my family and friends!

BURRITO-MADE EPIPHANIES Internet inspires electronic ADD A plethora of online distractions keeps students from working, enriching themselves My roommate and I Even right now as I type this, just spent 15 min- my roommate and I are looking utes searching Google for a picture entitled, "I can has cheese-burger?" that we thought was titled, "happy cat." The Internet and Facebook are ruining our generation. ROSS STEWART The ruining of our generation can be directly related to the failing of finals. In the midst of trying to type this piece of journalistic excellence, I've stopped not once but twice already to check my e-mail and Facebook. Not out of boredom, nor frustration, but out of something more frightening. Habit. at icanhas-cheeseburger.com for no particular reason (it's a variation of lolats.com). There's Coltrane playing in the background, and Kerouac on the table waiting for a good thumbing through, heck, even the gym is open. We could be enriching ourselves, but we chose to look at icanhascheeseburger.com. (Enjoy yourself at lolcats.com for 15 minutes before reading the next paragraph; that's how long it took us to stop looking at it.) Onto my point. Our generation is being ruined by this ugly habit we've picked up that isn't about necessity or ease or really anything. It isn't about anything. We really don't have any reason to use online distractions multiple times a day other than that it turned into a good way to waste time. You'd start by checking your e-mail once a day and your Facebook twice a week. But it'd quickly escalated into many times a day. You'd start checking when you woke up, when you went to sleep, sometimes even on your lunch break. It's addictive. Then you can move onto looking into Web sites your friends post notes about, ranging from gross, to cute, to confusing. You check out Web sites from e-mails your friends send you about inane subjects. Then all of a sudden you're hooked. If your computer crashes over the weekend and you have no idea what to do, you've got a problem. With the onset of finals we, as students, really have to watch how we use our time. I'm even one who usually says not to worry about finals. In the grand scheme of things they really don't matter. But, right now they do, especially with how much money we all spend on tuition. So let's all do ourselves a favor. No more Facebook until finals are over. Sound good? No more lolcats.com or unnecessary e-mail checking. No more internet time wasting. I'm even tempted to just look one more time at the picture on lolcats.com that says, "Is it can be hugs tiem now plees?" but I'm not going to. I won't if you won't. Deal?

Although George Bush Although George Bush has repeatedly insisted that the Iraq War is vital to American security, he has refused to ask his generation to pay for it. Instead, he is making you and your children foot the bill. Every dollar spent on the war has been borrowed. Someday you and your children will have to pay off this debt-or pay interest on it forever. The cost so far is $460 billion. The expenditure rate has risen each year. Currently the war costs $320 million each day. Rudy Giuliani is an enthusiastic supporter of the war, and Hillary Clinton has said that she expects the war to continue at Your contemporaries are making the ultimate sacrifice. The vast majority of the 3,867 American soldiers killed in Iraq are members of your generation. The same is true of the tens of thousands of men and women who have suffered injuries, including many who have returned to their families blinded or without legs or arms. As has so often been true in the past, "Old men send young men (and now women) into battle." least through her first term as President. By that time the cost to you and your children could approach $1 trillion. You and your children will bear the consequences. The bipartisan 9/11 Commission concluded that (1) Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack, (2) Saddam Hussein had no connection with Al Qaeda and (3) Saddam Hussein never attacked America or American interests. The WMD claims proved bogus. From the viewpoint of anyone in the Middle East, the invasion and occupation of Iraq is understandable only as a continuation of Western imperialism or as an assault on Islam. Each day of continued occupation breeds more embittered youths who will be the 9/11 attackers of tomorrow. Long after today's leaders are gone, the world will be a more It's your war. Today's leaders will move on, leaving you and your children to bear the costs of the war, both material and human. You should ask hard questions of the leaders who have ordered your generation into battle but refuse to pay any of the price themselves. dangerous place for you and your children because of the invasion and continued occupation of Iraq.

Smith 3 8A NEWS THE UNIVERSITY HARLY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2007 SPORTS SCIENCE Associated Press Gatorade Dr. Robert Cade, the lead inventor of Gatorade and a University of Florida professor, died Tuesday of kidney failure at the age of 80. Cade launched a multibillion-dollar sports drink industry that the beverage continues to dominate. ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Dr. J. Robert Cade, who invented the sports drink Gatorade and launched a multibillion-dollar industry that the beverage continues to dominate, died Tuesday of kidney failure. He was 80. Gatorade inventor dies at 80 His death was announced by the University of Florida, where he and other researchers created Gatorade in 1965 to help the school's football players replace carbohydrates and electrolytes lost through sweat while playing in swamp-like heat. "Today with his passing, the University of Florida lost a legend, lost one of its best friends and lost a creative genius," said Dr. Edward Block, chairman of the department of medicine in the College of Medicine. "Losing any one of those is huge. When you lose all three in one person, it's something you cannot recoup." Now sold in 80 countries in dozens of flavors, Gatorade was born thanks to a question from former Gators Coach Dwayne Douglas, Cade said in a 2005 interview with The Associated Press. He asked, "Doctor, why don't football players wee-wee after a game?" "That question changed our lives," Cade said. Cade's researchers determined a football player could lose as much as 18 pounds — 90 to 95 percent of it water — during the three hours it takes to play a game. Players sweated away sodium and chloride and lost plasma volume and blood volume. Using their research, and about $43 in supplies, they concocted a brew for players to drink while playing football. The first batch was not exactly a hit. "It sort of tasted like toilet bowl cleaner," said Dana Shires, one of the researchers. "I guzzled it and I vomited," Cade said. The researchers added some sugar and some lemon juice to improve the taste. It was first tested on freshmen because Coach Ray Graves didn't want to hurt the varsity team. Eventually, however, the use of the sports beverage spread to the Gators, who enjoyed a winning record and were known as a "second-half team" by outlasting opponents. After the Gators beat Georgia Tech 27-12 in the Orange Bowl in 1967, Tech coach Bobby Dodd told reporters his team lost because, "We didn't have Gatorade ... that made the difference." Stokely-Van Camp obtained the licensing rights for Gatorade and began marketing it as the "beverage of champions." PepsiCo Inc. now owns the brand, which has brought the university more than $150 million in royalties since 1973. CAMPUS 'Spectacle' raises awareness Student teaches bureaucracy to others on Wescoe BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com "Anson the Ornery" (Anson Stanciffle, Lawrence senior) and two university students, who asked not to be named, perform a performance art piece on Wescoe Beach Tuesday afternoon. Anson said the pieces of tac represented false promises made by the government, and he represented bureaucracy trying to stop people from reaching the promised land. Jon Goering/KANSAN A man dressed in a grey suit covered in all kinds of bells and whistles, with a white cloth masking his face and white feathers with black tips attached to wood on Wescoe Beach at 3 p.m., Tuesday. While most thought he was playing a game by stopping students from placing hard pieces of tac in a clear bowl of water, he was actually explaining bureaucracy. The man behind the mask was Anson Stanciffe, a Lawrence senior who said he preferred to go by "Anson the Ornery." Anson developed the piece for his public art works class. "For my class, we had the option to do a sculpture or a performance piece," he said. "I did a performance to involve the community." He said the performance was about explaining bureaucracy and all of its flaws. He said the pieces of tac represented false promises made by governments and represented bureaucracy trying to stop people from reaching the promised land. Anson said the performance was inspired after carefully thinking what to do. "I asked who am I going to be talking to? The KU students and KU bureaucracy," he said. Todd Jackson, Topeka junior, who got involved in the performance, said it was interesting. "I didn't understand what was going on when they first set-up, but it was really interesting and grabbed my attention," Jackson said. Anson said he hoped his performance shed light on bureaucracy. "A lot of people don't get bureaucracy," he said. "I wanted to show people there's only power in bureaucracy if you give it power." Participants try to throw hard pieces of tac into a bowl of water in the middle of a large chalk circle. They ran to the bowl, trying not to get tagged when the drummer's drumming intensified. — Edited by Ashlee Kieler Jon Goering/KANSAN COLLECTION Final designs revealed for state quarters WASHINGTON — A grizzly bear clutching a salmon, the Grand Canyon at sunrise and a scisortail flycatcher in flight. Those striking images will be on the final batch of state quarters as the most successful coin program in history draws to a close. The U.S. Mint on Tuesday unveiled the final five designs for the state quarters with the first one, honoring Oklahoma, to be put into circulation in late January with the other four following at 10-week intervals after that. The states have been honored in the order they were admitted to the union, starting with Delaware. It was honored with a quarter in 1999. This started a collecting craze unlike anything ever seen before in the coin world. Based on a 2005 survey, Mint officials estimate 147 million people have gotten involved in collecting the quarters with their constantly changing designs."The American people have made the 50 state quarters the most successful coins in United States history," said Mint Director Ed Moy. The final five coins will start with Oklahoma. It will feature the state bird, the scissortail flycatcher, and the state wildflower, the Indian blanket.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO The season of records BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com As the Kansas Jayhawks rushed, passed and scored their way to bowl eligibility and a share of the Big 12 North title, they defeated 11 opposing teams - usually in convincing fashion. But the Jayhawks didn't limit their dominance to the football field: The 2007 team made a substantial dent in the program's record books, climbing to the top of many all-time charts. PASSING RECORDS The Jahwaks' run through the record books was led by sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing. Blessed with a full year of health and a bevy of playmakers around him, the Austin, Texas, native emerged as the team's all-time best sophomore signal caller. Reesing's total of 32 touchdown passes dwarfs the previous season high of 18 by Bill Whittemore, and that's just the beginning of his single-season statistical supremacy. Reesing recorded the best completion percentage (62.6 percent), most passing yards (3,259), most touchdown passes (32), longest streak without an interception (213 attempts) and most completions (256) by a Kansas player in a single season. In fact, his 2007 campaign stands as the most productive in the history of Kansas football, as he moved into first place in single-season total yardage in his most recent game. His six-touchdown performance against Nebraska set a single-game passing touchdown mark, and he also appeared on several career lists — an impressive feat considering he has played just one full season. Reesing is currently tied for the Kansas career touchdown pass record (35), eighth in total completions and has the longest streak of consecutive games with a touchdown pass (7). With two more seasons of eligibility remaining, "Sparky" could become a fixture in Kansas football's all-time record books. RECEIVING RECORDS Reesing's favorite targets also made their mark on Kansas football's annals this season. Senior wide receiver Marcus Henry moved into ninth place on the all-time receptions list (102) and third place in single-season receiving yards (994). With a bowl game left on the schedule, Henry needs 151 receiving yards to pass Bob Johnson and claim the single-season record. Henry set the single-season touchdown record when he caught his ninth of the season against Missouri, and his 11 SEEFOOTBALL ON PAGE 3B football notes MANGINO WINS BIG 12 COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD Kansas won't have any more chances to add to its 11 regular season victories, but the Jayhawks picked up some postseason accolades Tuesday. Kansas coach Mark Mangino earned the Big 12 Coach of the Year Award for guiding the team to an 11-1 record and a peak ranking of No. 2 in the BCS Standings. The No. 2 ranking was the best in school history, and the team's five-game turnaround — from 6-6 last season — stands as the second best in the nation after Illinois' seven-game reversal.

McAnderson [Name] Henryv Mizzou win might improve Kansas' bowl bid How bad do you want it, Jayhawk fans? Most Kansas supporters would rather eat glass than root for Missouri. On Saturday, if they have the Jayhawks' best wishes in mind, they won't have a choice. If Missouri beats Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship, and subsequently reaches the National Championship, it will markedly improve the Jayhawks' shot at a BCS BY THOR NYSTROM tnystrom@kansan.com game, according to most bowl projections. Should Missouri lose on Saturday, Ohio State would ascend into the top two of the BCS standings and reach the Championship Game. Oklahoma, obviously, would make the BCS as the Big 12's representative. This would take away an at-large spot, because Missouri is expected to be a lock regardless of Saturday's outcome. If the Sooners are victorious, Illinois, who will likely move into the required top 14 of the BCS standings next week to grab an atlarge bid, would likely become the Big 10's representative in the Rose Bowl and probably shut Kansas out of a $14 million BCS payday, according to projections. If the Tigers, who opened Sunday evening in Las Vegas as three-point underdogs, avenge their only loss of the season and defeat Oklahoma, the Fiesta Bowl has widely been speculated as the most likely Jayhawk destination. The final BCS standings and bowl pairings will be announced on at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2 on Fox.

Even in a healthy young athlete with access to top trauma care, gunfire tearing through the main artery of the upper leg and abdomen can cause quick, massive blood loss. Doctors who treated Taylor have not given details of his injury or his emergency surgery, but several experts speculate that blood loss is likely what killed him. Taylor was shot at his Miami home early Monday by an apparent intruder and airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital. The body has two femoral arteries that branch from about mid-abdomen into each thigh. They are among the body's biggest vessels, and in the groin area and upper thigh, are about as big around as an index finger. Stopping blood loss gushing from a bullet hole in that region can be extremely challenging if the wound is close to the groin. It would be hard to put a tourniquet around it, said Dr. Gannon Dudlar, an emergency medicine specialist at the University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago. An injury of this type "essentially means you can lose all the blood in your whole body within five minutes," said Dr. Mary Pat McKay, director of George Washington University's Center for Injury Prevention and Control. Rapid blood loss can prevent oxygen from reaching the brain and vital organs, leading to death. "Everybody last night was breathing a sigh of relief that he survived the surgery, but his body went through too long a period of blood loss," McKay said. "Even a young healthy athlete, his body organs may be so compromised that they just can't continue," she said. Dr. Fahim Habib, a trauma surgeon at Jackson Memorial where Taylor died, said massive blood loss sets into a motion a series of devastating events. Blood pressure falls dangerously low, the body tries mightily to get blood to vital organs, and then the body's temperature drops below normal, said Habib, speaking generally and with no knowledge of Taylor's specific injuries.

NFL Chiefs sign veteran Carney to replace inconsistent kicker Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs signed free agent placekicker John Carney on Tuesday, making yet another attempt to correct a series of faulty decisions that has plagued their kicking game. Carney has played in 269 games for five teams over a productive 20-year career, ranking fourth overall with 422 field goals. At 43, he's lost distance, another factor the Chiefs and their struggling offense must take into consideration when mapping out game strategy. Carney replaces Dave Rayner, who was 15-of-22 after replacing Justin Medlock, a rookie the Chiefs drafted in the fifth round out of UCLA, but gave up on in September. The Chiefs (4-7), who have lost four in a row, drafted Lockell last April over Colorado All-American Mason Crosby. Crosby, taken by Green Bay in the following round, is 15-of-18 for the Packers. Rayner was available for the Chiefs because Crosby had just beaten him out in Green Bay. Carney was among several kickers the Chiefs scouted in September before going with Rayner because they liked his longer kickoffs. "Medlock's got talent," coach Herm Edwards said. "Young kickers, they go through this. They might get cut, and their second or third year in the league, they find their way and they become good kickers."

BY CASE KEEFER ckoefer@kemeier.com ckeefer@kansan.com MISSOURI Eight Big 12 Conference teams will accept bowl bids in four days. But waiting around for Sunday's announcement just isn't as fun as taking part in the annual guessing game of which teams will end up where. So here is an idea of where the eight bowl-eligible Big 12 teams will likely wind up. The scenario couldn't be much simpler for the Tigers. If Missouri beats Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship Saturday, it's headed for New Orleans and the BCS Championship Game on Jan. 7th. If the Tigers lose, things get a little m u r k y They could still wind up with a BCS at-large bid from the TIGER Rose, Orange or Sugar Bowl, but if the Big 12 only ends up with one team in the BCS or if Kansas is chosen instead, they would play in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. OKLAHOMA The Sooners will either descend upon Dallas or Glendale, Ariz. If they lose to the Tigers in the Big 12 Championship, they are a lock for the Cotton Bowl, where they would likely face Arkansas. OU Auburn or Tennessee. If Oklahoma beats top-ranked Missouri, however, it will represent the Big 12 in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 2nd. KANSAS probably play the Pac 10's second- Prepare yourself for this Jayhawk fans: You need to root for Missouri to assure Kansas a spot in a BCS bowl. Kansas will go to the Fiesta Bowl and KU place team if Missouri's bid at vengeance is success- ful against Oklahoma. If the Sooners beat Tigers, the Jayhawks could conceivably wind up in the Sugar, Rose or Orange Bowl. The Cotton, Gator or Holiday Bowl would be a more realistic destination if Oklahoma wins TEXAS Texas fans may have left Kyle Field enraged that their team just lost to arren Texas A&M. But the loss probably landed the longhorns in a more attractive bowl local THE TEXAS UNIVERSITY tion. It looks like it would take a major shakeup to pry the Longhorns away from San Diego in the Holiday Bowl. Texas would play the Pac 10's third or fourth place team, which would be either Arizona State, Oregon, Oregon State or UCLA. TEXAS TECH Coach Mike Leach and the Red TEXAS A&M Raiders are projected to head south to Jacksonville, Fla. for the Gator Bowl right now. But the Gator Bowl doesn't have to take a 12-ball team; it T has the option to select a Big East squad instead. If the Gator Bowl turns away from Texas Tech, the Red Raiders will stay in Texas for either the Alamo Bowl or the Sun Bowl, in San Antonio and El Paso. Texas. texas A&M fans already travel well but would show up in droves if they played a short three hours away. Texas The Aggies are an attractive team for the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, ATM A&M would likely match up with a tradition-rich Big 10 Conference team. The Alamo Bowls have the fourth selection in the Big 10, which means it could select Michigan, Penn State or Wisconsin. OKLAHOMA STATE Oklahoma State STATE Oklahoma State has the same record as Colorado so the Insight Bowl will have to pick between the two teams. The Cowboys are more attractive on a national level because of a high-octane offense and a recognizable coach in Mike Gundy. But if the Big 12 only gets one team in a BCS Bowl, Oklahoma State could drop to the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La. or the Texas Bowl in Houston. COLORADO Coach Dan Hawkins led his new team to bowl-eligibility in his second year at the helm. But it's uncertain which bowl. The Buffalooes could play in the CU Independence Bowl against either Mississippi State, Alabama or South Carolina. But a berth in the Texas Bowl against Houston is also possible. FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Edited by Rachael Gray career touchdown catches rank fifth all-time. SPECIAL TEAMS RECORDS Senior tight end Derek Fine became the school's most prolific pass-catching tight end when he secured his 88th reception and passed John Mosier for the most career receptions at the position. Fine, who has 44 catches and four touchdowns this season, needs just three more receptions to break the century mark for his career. Freshman wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe set the school record for touchdown receptions by a freshman (seven) and junior wide receiver Dexton Fields became just the fifth Jayhawk to reel in 10 or more receptions in a game when he caught 11 against Iowa State. The lajhawks' stable of experienced special teams contributors also worked their way up some of the program's lists this season. Senior kicker Scott Webb has scored a single-season record 110 points and sits 12 points shy of the career points record with one contest remaining. Webb already owns the school's all-time extra point record (156) and consecutive extra points converted (45). Junior kick returner Marcus Herford, an All-Big 12 Second Team selection, broke his own record for single-season kick return yardage (841) and holds the career yards per return record (28 yards per return). TEAM RECORDS As a team, the Jayhawks obliterated many of their previous records. This year's squad has scored more points (532), gained more yards (5,893) and earned more first downs (307) than any previous Kansas team. Last but certainly not least, Kansas set a school record in the most important statistical category of all: victories. The Kansas Jayhawks have won a single-season high 11 games - and they have the chance to add one more. Edited by Ashlee Kieler BOWL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) Kansas' most possible BCS destination is the Fiesta Bowl, the Orange Bowl was still considering them. "There are a lot of schools that we are still considering. KU is in that mix," Wahl said. "They did everything that was asked of them. They won every game that was asked, except for the last one. They are worthy of their standing, there is no question." "We've done our homework," Fiss said. "We know Kansas fans will travel great, regardless of whether it is basketball or football. They are top-five — that speaks for itself. We know the fans will follow them." Fiss said the Cotton Bowl, which pays $3 million per institution, had been in contact with the Kansas Wahl said Kansas' lack of historical success in football would not prevent the Orange Bowl from selecting them — last year the Orange hosted Wake Forest, who does not have a great football history and is a smaller university than Kansas. Wahl said Wake Forest sold out their ticket allotment. Charlie Fiss, a Cotton Bowl representative, said his game is looking at Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas. Fiss said he didn't know what would happen this weekend and didn't know which way his group would vote. Athletic Department. He declined to specifically address the issue of his bowl possibly taking a three-loss Longhorn squar over the one-loss Jayhawks, and said the group would look at a bevy of factors including record, team strength, fan base, television attractiveness, and more. Fiss did say Kansas rates high in the fan department：“KU, name the sport, whether is football or basketball, we know they have great fans.” Kansas has hosted representatives from every BCS Bowl except for the Rose this year. The Cotton and Holiday Bowls also both sent representatives to the KU-MU game on Saturday. The Fiesta Bowl has sent more representatives to Kansas games than any other bowl. Fiesta Bowl representatives did not immediately return University Daily Kansan phone calls seeking comment for this story. Marchiony said the Athletics Department was not concerned that a lack of prestige would hurt the football team in bowl selections and said, "we think the process will play out fairly." CBSsportline is projecting Kansas into the Fiesta against Arizona State: "With our prediction details Marchiony said the high rating of the Kansas-Missouri football game on Saturday spoke for itself. Big 12 Bowl Selection order BCS Cotton Holiday Gator (when it selects a Big 12 team) Alamo Sun (when the Gator does not take a Big 12 team) Insight Independence Texas of Missouri in the title game, we think Kansas will still be an at-large pick with only one loss, especially if the Fiesta Bowl loses the Big 12 champion. With the Fiesta Bowl's other selection, it will take the Pac-10 runner up, which will be Arizona State. Illinois could also sneak in here instead of the Sun Devils". MSNBC projected the same Jayhawk-Sun Devils matchup. "If Missouri goes to the title game, a one-loss Kansas team will be an attractive at-large choice for the Fiesta." In other words, for possibly the first time ever, layhawks fans on Saturday will become Tiger fans. - Edited by Amelia Freidline Certification In Service Learning csl@ku.edu www.servicelearning.ku.edu GET CERTIFIED Group reflection sessions.

But this team proved all the doubters wrong. Kansas is one of the top five teams in the nation. Here are some of the top highlights of the 2007 season. KERRY MEIER TODD REESING During the year, Reesing has broken a plethora of school passing records including most yards (3,259), touchdowns (32) and 300-yard games (5) in a season. He also set the Big 12 record with 213 straight passes without an interception. All of this from a sophomore from Austin, Texas, who everyone thought wasn't big enough to play at a big football school. Pretty sure his case has been put to rest. 76 POINTS AGAINST NEBRASKA Meier proved how versatile of an athlete he is by taking on many other roles. Meier has rushed, thrown and received a touchdown, becoming the first player at Kansas since Garfield Taylor in 1981 to do this. Meier has also shown his kicking skills for the Jayhawks by punting four different times this season. Who knows? Maybe we will see him returning kicks or playing on the defensive side of the ball in his remaining years. Remember when Nebraska always put up big numbers in blowouts against the Jayhawks? Times have changed. The 76 points scored by Kansas was the most that Nebraska had ever given up in their entire storybook history. It's kind of ironic that it happened to be the Jayhawks doing it. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Senior running back Brandon McAnderson played a big part in Kansas' offensive onslaught against Nebraska. He had four touchdowns in the 76-39 victory. PETER LANE BY ERICA JOHNSON KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST EJOHNSON@KANSAN.COM 35 Reeing threw for six touchdown passes, four to freshman receiver Dezmon Briscoe. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson rushed for four touchdowns, becoming the first since June Henley in 1996 to accomplish this feat. And oyeh the Jayhawks scored touchdowns on 10 straight drives in the game as well. During his previous five years at Kansas, head coach Mark Mangino had only tallied four road Big 12 victories. This year he led his team to victories against then-No. 24 Kansas State, Texas &M, Colorado and Oklahoma State. The victory in Manhattan was Kansas' first since 1989, and the Jayhawks' first road victory against a ranked opponent since it defeated Oklahoma State in 1993. Those power towels really seemed to work well for them. After the victory against Kansas State, the Jayhawks moved into the Top 25 in the AP poll with their TOP 25 RANKING FOR FIRST TIME IN 11 YEARS fifth victory. Many people still doubted that they were for real. Each week, though, they continued their success and climbed up the rankings to eventually top out at No. 2 in every major poll. It was the highest-ever ranking for a Kansas football team. The Jayhawks also received some first-place votes. AQIB TALIB AND HIS DEFENSE The All-American junior cornerback has proven all season why he was on so many awards lists. Teams were afraid to throw near him because of all his talent. After all, he was Superman in the Kansas State game, coming up with a big interception to help Kansas get the victory. Not only has Talb made his impact on the defensive side of the ball with four interceptions, but he also made a few plays on the offensive side earlier in the season as a wide receiver, reeling in four touchdowns. The other members of the defense have led the team into the top 10 nationally for their defense. Kansas held its first five Big 12 opponents to less than 100 yards rushing. Also, the Jayhawks are giving up only 16 points per game. There is still a bowl game left to play, and the Jayhawks have the most victories in school history. It has been a fun season to watch with Kansas' high-scoring offense and shutdown defense. In the preseason, the Jayhawks were projected to finish fourth in the Big 12 North. KU 3 25 "I am more focused on where we stand in December, rather than the month of July," head coach Mark KANSAN FILE PHOTO Junior cornerback Akip Talib has provided a strong presence in the defensive backfield. He had four interceptions, one that sealed the teams fifth victory of the season against Kansas State. THE JAYHAWKS WON 11 GAMES 11-0 to go Kansas football fans have had much to cheer about this season. The Jayhawks made school history by winning their first 11 games of the season. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Mangino said after hearing about the preseason ranking. He has to be pretty happy sitting at 11-1 and looking forward to a possible BCS bowl game later on in January. Overall, this team has proven over and over again it is one of the top teams in the nation and has made its case why Kansas is going to be known for being a football school as well. Next year, don't doubt the jayhawks if they are picked to actually win the Big 12 North, or if people predict they have a chance for the championship once again — meaning NATIONAL championship. For now, they are just getting their feet wet. Edited by Luke Morris BASKETBALL Big men look for more boards BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com KANSAS 24 ROBINSON 3 FORT WATER 52 A victory against Florida Atlantic tonight would be nice. Being able to outrebound the Owls and get the guards to pass the ball down low? That would be even better. The Jayhawks only outbound their opponents by three per game this season. The players said they planned to attack the glass hardlier tonight against Florida Atlantic. The lack of rebounding from senior center Sasha Kaun, sophomore forward Darrell Arthur and senior forward Darnell Jackson took away from Kansas' victory against Arizona, its most impressive victory so far. Self expects improvement from his frontcourt starting tonight at 7 against Florida Atlantic. Self's disapproval of his team's work in the paint is more than warranted. The Kansas big men are getting outrebounded by a guard with a gimpy knee — junior Brandon Rush. Rush grabbed eight rebounds Sunday night, two more than Arthur and Jackson. Kaun only had two rebounds in 25 minutes. "We don't go after the ball." Self said. "We have to go after the ball. To be that big and not collect boards is ridiculous. Shady should be a better rebounder. Darnell should be a better rebounder, and Sasha certainly should be a better rebounder." The Arizona game wasn't a fluke either. Kansas hasn't rebounded well all season. Pittsburgh State, a team with smaller and less talented players, outrebounded Kansas in its first exhibition game. For the season, the Jayhawks are only outrebounding their opponents by an average of about three per game. Self said rebounding would be an emphasis at practice yesterday. "I think it's a toughness thing more than anything else," he said. Freshman center Cole Aldrich, who only played one minute against Arizona, could be losing playing time because of the less-than-average play of the other big men. Self said he didn't want to throw Aldrich into a hotly contested game when the more experienced players weren't playing strong. "They're wide open." Self said. "We have to see it and then if we see it, it's a confidence standpoint to get it to them. To me, it looked like our post guys were wide open, and our guards didn't deliver the ball at all. We have to learn to play through Darrell. The sooner we learn that the better off we'll be, and we haven't learned that vet." Of course, the big men arem receiving all the blame. Arthur scored 20 points Sunday night and Jackson is the team's fourth-leading scorer despite an inability of the guards to work the offense through the post. improve. Arthur is the team's second-leading scorer, but he's gone through stretches where he scores a bunch and then stretches where he doesn't even shoot the ball. Jackson said Arthur has skills that could help the entire front court get better. "Darrell has a lot of things that some players don't have." Jackson said. "His quickness and his ability to shoot the ball and score a quick basket — most bigs don't have that." If and when that happens, Kansas' production in the paint should COLLEGE FOOTBALL Coaches come, go while programs continue search Coaches were coming and going around college football as each school searched for a winning formula.

But this team proved all the doubts wrong. Kansas is one of the top five teams in the nation. Here are some of the top highlights of the 2007 season. KERRY MEIER TODD REESING During the year, Reesing has broken a plethora of school passing records including most yards (3,259), touchdowns (32) and 300-yard games (5) in a season. He also set the Big 12 record with 213 straight passes without an interception. All of this from a sophomore from Austin, Texas, who everyone thought wasn't big enough to play at a big football school. Pretty sure his case has been put to rest. 76 POINTS AGAINST NEBRASKA Meier proved how versatile of an athlete he is by taking on many other roles. Meier has rushed, thrown and received a touchdown, becoming the first player at Kansas since Garfield Taylor in 1981 to do this. Meier has also shown his kicking skills for the Jayhawks by扑打 four different times this season. Who knows? Maybe we will see him returning kicks or playing on the defensive side of the ball in his remaining years. Remember when Nebraska always put up big numbers in blowouts against the Jayhawks? Times have changed. The 76 points scored by Kansas was the most that Nebraska had ever given up in their entire storybook history. It's kind of ironic that it happened to be the Jayhawks doing it. KANSAN FILE PHOTO Senior running back Brandon McAnderson played a big part in Kansas' offensive onslaught against Nebraska. He had four touchdowns in the 76-39 victory. --- 35 BY ERICA JOHNSON KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST EJOHNSON@KANKSAN.COM Reesing threw for six touchdown passes, four to freshman receiver Dezmon Briscoe. Senior running back Brandon McAnderson rushed for four touchdowns, becoming the first since June Henley in 1996 to accomplish this feat. And oh yeah — the Jayhawks scored touchdowns on 10 straight drives in the game as well. ROAD VICTORIES The victory in Manhattan was Kansas' first since 1989, and the Jayhawks' first road victory against a ranked opponent since it defeated Oklahoma State in 1993. Those power towels really seemed to work well for them. In the win against Oklahoma State, Kansas picked up its tenth straight victory to move the team to its first 10-0 start since 1899. I hope it won't take another 108 years to start the season with 10 victories. During his previous five years at Kansas, head coach Mark Mangino had only tallied four big 12 victories. This year he led his team to victories against then-No. 24 Kansas State, Texas A&M, Colorado and Oklahoma State. After the victory against Kansas State, the Jayhawks moved into the Top 25 in the AP poll with their TOP 25 RANKING FOR FIRST TIME IN 11 YEARS fifth victory. Many people still doubted that they were for real. Each week, though, they continued their success and climbed up the rankings to eventually top out at No. 2 in every major poll. It was the highest-ever ranking for a Kansas football team. The Jayhawks also received some first-place votes. AQIB TALIB AND HIS DEFENSE The All-American junior cornerback has proven all season why he was on so many awards lists. Teams were afraid to throw near him because of all his talent. After all, he was Superman in the Kansas State game, coming up with a big interception to help Kansas get the victory. Not only has Talib made his impact on the defensive side of the ball with four interceptions, but he also made a few plays on the offensive side earlier in the season as a wide receiver, reeling in four touchdowns. The other members of the defense have led the team into the top 10 nationally for their defense. Kansas held its first five Big 12 opponents to less than 100 yards rushing. Also, the Jayhawks are giving up only 16 points per game. There is still a bowl game left to play, and the Jayhawks have the most victories in school history. It has been a fun season to watch with Kansas' high-scoring offense and shutdown defense. In the preseason, the Jayhawks were projected to finish fourth in the Big 12 North. 3 25 KANSAN FILE PHOTO 11-0 to go "I am more focused on where we stand in December, rather than the month of July," head coach Mark Junior cornerback Agi Talib has provided a strong presence in the defensive backfield. He had four interceptions, including one that sealed the team's fifth victory on Kansas State. Kansas football fans have had much to cheer about this season. The Jayhawks made school history by winning their first 11 games of the season. THE JAYHAWKS WON 11 GAMES KANSAN FILE PHOTO Mangino said after hearing about the preseason ranking. He has to be pretty happy sitting at 11-1 and looking forward to a possible BCS bowl game later on in January. Overall, this team has proven over and over again it is one of the top teams in the nation and has made its case why Kansas is going to be known for being a football school as well. Next year, don't doubt the Jayhawks if they are picked to actually win the Big 12 North, or if people predict they have a chance for the championship once again — meaning NATIONAL championship. For now, they are just getting their feet wet. Edited by Luke Morris BASKETBALL Big men look for more boards The Jayhawks only outbound their opponents by three per game this season. The players said they planned to attack the glass harder tonight against Florida Atlantic. BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com FORT WORTH 52 KANSAS 24 ROBINSON 3 A victory against Florida Atlantic tonight would be nice. Being able to outrebound the Owls and get the guards to pass the ball down low? That would be even better. The lack of rebounding from senior center Sasha Kaun, sophomore forward Darrrell Arthur and senior forward Darnell Jackson took away from Kansas' victory against Arizona, its most impressive victory so far. Self expects improvement from his frontcourt starting tonight at 7 against Florida Atlantic. Self's disapproval of his team's work in the paint is more than warranted. The Kansas big men are getting outrebounded by a guard with a gimpy knee — junior Brandon Rush. Rush grabbed eight rebounds Sunday night, two more than Arthur and Jackson. Kaun only had two rebounds in 25 minutes. KANSAN FILE PHOTO "We don't go after the ball." Self said. "We have to go after the ball. To be that big and not collect boards is ridiculous. Shady should be a better rebounder. Darnell should be a better rebounder, and Sasha certainly should be a better rebounder." The Arizona game wasn't a fluke either. Kansas hasn't rebounded well all season. Pittsburg State, a team with smaller and less talented players, outrebounded Kansas in its first exhibition game. For the season, the jayhawks are only outrebounding their opponents by an average of about three per game. Self said rebounding would be an emphasis at practice yesterday. "I think it's a toughness thing more than anything else," he said. Freshman center Cole Aldrich, who only played one minute against Arizona, could be losing playing time because of the less-than-average play of the other big men. Self said he didn't want to throw Aldrich into a hotly contested game when the more experienced players weren't playing strong. "They're wide open." Self said. "We have to see it and then if we see it, it's a confidence standpoint to get it to them. To me, it looked like our post guys were wide open, and our guards didn't deliver the ball at all. We have to learn to play through Darrell. The sooner we learn that the better off we'll be, and we haven't learned that yet." Of course, the big men aren't receiving all the blame. Arthur scored 20 points Sunday night and Jackson is the team's fourth-leading scorer despite an inability of the guards to work the offense through the post. improve. Arthur is the team's second-leading scorer, but he's gone through stretches where he scores a bunch and then stretches where he doesn't even shoot the ball. Jackson said Arthur has skills that could help the entire frontcourt get better. "Darrell has a lot of things that some players don't have," Jackson said. "His quickness and his ability to shoot the ball and score a quick basket — most bigs don't have that." If and when that happens, Kansas' production in the paint should COLLEGE FOOTBALL Coaches come, go while programs continue search Edited by Rachael Gray Coaches were coming and going around college football as each school searched for a winning formula. Georgia Tech fired Chan Gailey, the ex-Dallas Cowboys coach, while Texas A&M hired Mike Indiana gave interim coach Bill Lynch a four-year contract after he led the Hoosiers to their most successful season in 14 years. Duke fired Ted Roof. Sherman, the ex-Green Bay Packers coach. Southern Miss Jeff Bower resigned after 14 straight winning seasons and 10 bowl invitations in Sherman, an assistant head coach with the Houston Texans for two seasons, will return to the school where he was the offensive line coach from 1989-93 and in 1995-96. 11 years. basketball notes Associated Press REED IS OUT Reed Freshman guard Tyrel Reed will MICHAEL M.

Here are the players who shined and those who faded in this week's games. SHINERS QB Brett Favre, Green Bay Packers — Favre has proven to still have what it takes to win in the NFL, even after 17 years in the league. Favre led the Packers to a victory in the closest game on Thanksgiving as Green Bay outscored Detroit in an offensive shootout. Favre is having a record-breaking season, one of the reasons he was thought to have returned to the Packers. And if not for a man named Brady, he would be the best quarterback in the NFL. He will certainly be leading the Packers deep into the playoffs this year. RB Frank Gore, San Francisco 49ers — Gore had been sleeping for most of the season, but he woke up on Sunday. The 49ers offense had been in a malaise all season, but Gore jump started the offense with 214 total yards against the Cardinals. Gore had 21 carries for 116 rushing yards and two touchdowns and added 11 receptions for 98 receiving yards to the passing offense. Gore helped San Francisco beat a tough Arizona team that is challenging for an NFC playoff spot. If Gore keeps this production up, San Francisco might not be so miserable. BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST KBRECKUNITCH@KANSAN.COM WR Chad Johnson, Cincinnati Bengals — Welcome back, Chad. Johnson had been relatively ineffective in the Bengals' passing offense since week two of the season, but he was a big part of the offense on Sunday. Johnson had 12 catches for 103 yards and three touchdowns to help the Bengals defeat a tough Titans team that is looking to make the playoffs. If Cincinnati continues to perform at the peak of their high-octane offense, they could play spoiler to a few playoff-hopeful teams. TE Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers - Gates and the Chargers' pass offense was reborn on Sunday. It looked the best it had all season. Gates had six catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns as the Chargers easily dispatched the Ravens. If the San Diego offense keeps improving it will cruise to a division title in the bleak AFC West. Cincinnati defense — The Bengals defense has looked dismal all year, but on Sunday they shut down an explosive Tennessee offense. The Bengals rank near the bottom of the league in both pass and run defense, but on Sunday they shut down Vince Young and the Titans. The Bengals allowed only 61 total rushing yards and forced two turnovers. If the defense finishes the season like it played on Sunday,it could be a good sign heading into next season. K Josh Scobee, Jacksonville Jaguars — Scobee helped the Jaguars blow out the Bills on Sunday. Scobee made all five field goals he attempted, including a long 46-yarder. Scobee also converted all three extra point attempts. Scobee is a solid kicker and will be a key part of the Jaguars' team, especially if they hope to challenge the Colts for the division title. FADERS QB David Carr, Carolina Panthers — Carr was supposed to be better off in Carolina. He would have better protection, especially since he would most likely be on the bench. An injury to Jake Delhomme, though, thrusted Carr into the starting quarterback position earlier in the season. On Sunday, he may have been at his worst. Carr finished the game completing only ten of 22 passes for 95 yards and threw two interceptions. Carr was a former No. 1 pick in the NFL draft and will need to revert to his college form for the Panthers to have any chance of competing the rest of the season. RB Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars — Fred Taylor is the starting running back in Jacksonville, but Jones-Drew was supposed to make more of in impact in the offense than he has this season. On Sunday, Jones-Drew carried the ball 10 times for a mere 10 yards. Jones-Drew was supposed to be the offensive spark in jacksonville. Jones-Drew will need to build momentum heading into the playoffs because he could be a big factor in jacksonville's success. RB Maurice Jones-Drew, Packers quarterback Brett Favre celebrates after throwing for a touchdown Thursday against the Lions. Favre has broken back out in his 17th season in the NFL. WR Joey Galloway, Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Galloway may have struggled because Jeff Garcia went down with an injury early in the game. Galloway should still be able to put up big numbers, though, no matter who is at quarterback, especially with a relatively unknown running back starting in the backfield. Galloway is the biggest star on the Tampa Bay offense, but he had only two catches for 21 yards on Sunday. If Garcia is healthy on Sunday, Galloway's production should definitely increase. ASSOCIATED PRESS 4 TE Alge Crumpler, Atlanta Falcons — Crumpler is probably the best receiver on Atlanta's roster, even though he is a tight end. Crumpler is strong and has good hands and speed. However, the Falcons under-utilized him on Sunday against a strong Indianapolis defense. Crumpler could have been a big benefit, but ended the game with only three catches for 14 yards. If the Falcons want to win a few more games before the season is over they will have to better incorporate Crumpler in their passing offense. New York Giants defense — The Giants lost, quite shockingly, in a blowout at the hands of the Vikings. Turnovers on offense cost the Giants the game, but the defense did not do a great job of stopping the Minnesota offense either. The Giants allowed 251 yards of total offense, including 127 rushing yards, and were not able to force any turnovers by a mistake-prone Tarvari jackson. The Giants just didn't play up to snuff in any facet of the game on Sunday and now have to work even harder to make the playoffs. K Matt Stover, Baltimore Ravens — Stover suffered because the Baltimore offense could not generate any momentum. Baltimore struggled the ball on offense, which lead to Stover's lack of production. Stover attempted no field goals and made the only two extra points he attempted. If the Ravens want to finish the season with a respectable record, the will need to move the ball better to set up Stover. - Edited by Luke Morris COMMENTARY U.S. should make sixth-straight cup appearance in 2010 BY ANDREW WIEBIE KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST AWIEBE@KANSAN.COM Barely eight days after the United States scrapped its way to 1-0 victory against South Africa in Johannesburg, Bob Bradley and his team learned what it would take to return. FIFA representatives met Sunday in Durban, South Africa, to determine the makeup of the three Confederation of North and Central American and Caribbean Football groups that will be pared down over the course of four rounds to three automatic qualifiers. The fourth-place qualifier faces South America's fifth place qualifier in a playoff for the chance at one bid. ning of the two-and-a-half year journey to the 2010 World Cup. For the 35 national teams in contention for CONCACAF's possible four spots, it represented the begin- For regional royalty like the U.S., the gap in competition and a charitable draw makes qualification straightforward. Play to its potential and qualify easily. Play to the level of its opponents and qualify slightly less easily. By virtue of superior talent and depth, the U.S. has qualified for five straight World Cups and seems sure to make it six. It's a chance for Bob Bradley to see his players in meaningful competition and develop the lineup that will be used in 2010. Bradley has shown he isn't afraid to tinker and experiment to find the most effective lineup and 18 competitive matches should provide plenty of opportunities. Africa. Despite the presence of veteran incumbents like goalkeeper Tim Howard, defenders Steve Cherundolo and Carlos Bocanegra, and midfielders Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley and Clint Dempsey, there are plenty of opportunities for young players to stake their claim to a spot in South Left back is still up for grabs with Heath Pearce, Jonathan Bornstein, Jonathan Spector and Frank Simek competing for a spot behind Beasley. Competition in the midfield is just as stiff as Michael Bradley, Maurice Edu, Freddy Adu and Benny Fellhaber, among others, audition for places in the center of the park. fan. Options seem endless and Bradley seems to be willing to explore the possibilities. In truth, he'll have to, as much of the young talent will be occupied with 2008's Olympic Games in Beijing. The good news is the talent pool assembled shouldn't even feel the strain. It's an exciting time to be a U.S. qualification process is the perfect avenue for U.S. players to develop the on-field partnerships that can be the difference between a run to the World Cup knockout rounds and a premature exit. Bradley and his team should be able to focus on bigger issues -like improving on 2006's disappointing World Cup performance.The The lineup fans will see in the summer of 2010 is anybody's guess. Competition alone will determine who earns a place in the first 11. Will the current stalwarts keep their spots? Will the generation of young talent emerge? U. S. fans have more than two years to find out. Bradley will have his choice of the deepest pool of players the U.S. has ever had.

The Jayhawks pushed the accelerator for 40 minutes, never backing off and never giving Creighton a chance to jump back into the game. When it was over the Jayhawks had a 91-56 victory, making the Bluejays nothing more than a distant sight in their rearview mirror. "I thought our kids came out on a mission after a tough loss, and they were disappointed how we played down there," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We just beat ourselves last game." The last game was a 68-56 loss to SMU in Dallas Saturday night, and their performance in it was a distant memory for those who saw them play on Tuesday. The Jayhaws let the opening tip bounce out of bounds off their hands, but that was about the only thing that went wrong all night. Sophomores Danielle McCray and Sade Morris had their way with the Bluejay defense early and often, sinking shot after shot from the paint, mid-range and beyond the arc. "I just know what I have to do to go out there and get this team going, and once we get going everything's easier," Morris said. The duo finished the first half a combined 11-17 from the field for 26 points to help Kansas take a 47-22 lead into the break. The first few minutes of the second half is when teams such as Hartford and UMKC crawled back from large deficits and nearly pulled out victories, Creighton, however, would have no such luck as Kansas continued to sink almost every shot it put up and pushed the lead up to 72-39 eight and a half minutes into the half. "We didn't want that to happen again," said Morris of relinquishing a big lead. "We're just coming from a loss to SMU, a game we shouldn't have lost, and we felt like we owed it to ourselves to go out and play for 40 minutes hard and beat a team like we should." A big key to the big victory was production from everyone on the court, not just Morris and McCray. Those two each scored 16 points, but senior Taylor McIntosh also poured in 10 while freshmen Krysten Boogaard and Nicollette Smith added nine apiece. "That's probably as fluid as we've been. I refer to it as equal opportunity offense," Henrickson said. The layhawks' shooting from the field was deadly at almost 57 percent, including an impressive 5-for-9 beyond the arc. Kansas also looked good on defense, forcing 26 turnovers that turned into 36 points. "We did better as a team as far as weak side help and denying (the ball)," said McIntosh. "We weren't perfect, but we did a lot better today." Edited by Luke Morris EIGHTON 54 KANSAS 13 Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN Taylor Mcintosh, senior forward, searches for an opening to pass during Tuesday night's game against Creighton at Alen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks conquered the ties, 91-56. basketball notes NOBODY'S PERFECT In a game where few fans could find any fault with Kansas, senior forward Taylor McIntosh admitted that her team's rebounding could have been better. In fact, because Creighton out-rebounded the Jayhawks 43-41, and 24 of Creighton's boards were offensive, it was hard for McIntosh not to dwell on it. "Obviously that's something we still need to work on," McIntosh said. "We'll hear about it Thursday at practice." HOMESTEAD Tuesday night's victory was the first of five straight home games for the Jayhawks. They'll tip off again Sunday afternoon against St. Louis, then play host to Marquette Dec. 6, Indiana Dec. 9 and UC Riverside Dec. 16. SOFT HANDS Henrickson, Morris and Jacobs all raved about the hands of the 6-5 Boogaard. The freshman made a variety of difficult in the post and in transition. Jacobs said she was especially impressed by the forward's ability to finish and draw contact against Creighton. — Taylor Bern and Andrew Wiebe Offensive potential obvious BY ANDREW WIEBE awiebe@kansan.com The University of Kansas women's basketball team came and showed flashes of its offense potential in all four games this season. All it took was a loss to bring consistency. After Saturday night's loss to Southern Methodist, coach Bonnie Henrickson said she returned her players to the practice court for two days of work. The offensive explosion that followed left Creighton coach singing the praises of Kansas' offense, in particular the play of sophomore guards Sade Morris and Danielle McCray. The duo led the Jayhawks to a 27-2 lead in the first half. The remainder of the game Morris and McCray's teammates took turns driving Kansas to a 36-point victory. "When we are efficient and balanced that makes the game go a lot easier," Morris said. "Opponents have a hard time guarding us because they don't know who is about to do what next." The Bluejays certainly didn't. Eight Kansas players scored more than six points, and McCray and Morris combined for 32 points with 26 of those coming in the first half. Henrickson said the team was beginning to learn their roles within the offense. It didn't hurt that Kansas dominated in every offensive category but offensive rebounding. The Jayhawks shot 57 percent from the field while making five of their nine three-point attempts. The team had a season-high 24 assists and outscored the Bluejays 48-18 in the paint. The team used intelligent defense to force turnovers that led to 22 fast-break that pulled the game away from Creighton. Freshman forwards Krysten Boogaard and Nicollette Smith both chipped in with nine points and "I refer to it as equal opportunity offense," she said. Sophomore Guard LaChelda Jacobs followed this weekend's solid play by contributing six points on 3-6 shooting and led the team in rebounds mostly from the point guard position. Jacobs said the reason for Kansas's offense play was simple. combined for 10 rebounds. Senior forward Taylor Mcntosh turned in a typically solid performance with 10 points, four rebounds and three blocked shots. "Everybody is being more aggressive and taking more on balance shots," Jacobs said. "I'm just being more aggressive and knowing what I can do on the floor." Edited by Rachael Gray NEED CASH?

SENATE LSS LEGAL SERVICES FOR STUDENTS 8B GAME DAY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2007 COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF KU TIP-OFF ATAGLANCE This game is a tune-up. Florida Atlantic is the worst Division I team on Kansas' schedule and could even be worse than Washburn, a Division II school. The real game for Kansas this week comes Sunday against Southern California, a Top 25 team with a highly touted freshman in O.J. Mayo. Jackson WHOTOWATCH A. F. COOLDOWN AFTER THE FIGHT Owls should provide easy game after Arizona against Arizona (and right-fully so), but the other big men didn't rebound particularly well either. Jackson had five in 29 minutes and only scored four points. Those four points came early in the first half. Jackson needs to produce like he did in the first two games of the season, especially while Kaun continues to struggle. Darnell Jackson, senior forward Kaun is drawing a lot of ire from fans for his poor rebounding performance QUESTION MARK FLORIDA ATLANTIC AT KANSAS 7 p.m. Wednesday, Allen Fieldhouse, Jayhawk TV Outside of Rex Walters, how is Florida Atlantic connected to Kansas? COUNTED FOR THE N BAY BALL POINTS GARDEN HAWK HELLOW REUSE POINTS GARDEN THROW WED BALL POINTS GARDEN THROW FRIEZE POINTS GARDEN THROW FIELDHOUSE POINTS GARDEN THROW FIELDHOUSE POINTS GARDEN THROW FORWARD Basketball Points Garden Final Four BASKETBALL POINTS Garden Guard Allen FIELDHOUSE POINTS Garden Thrown FORWARD Basketball Points Garden Final Four BASKETBALL POINTS Garden Guard Allen FIELDHOUSE POINTS Garden Thrown FORWARD Basketball Points Garden Final Four BASKETBALL POINTS Garden Guard Allen Before the Walters became coach of the Owls, former Kansas assistant Matt Doherty was the head coach for one season. Doherty was an assistant for Roy Williams from 1992 to 1999. He coached Notre Dame for one season before moving on to North Carolina. His stay only lasted three years before complaints from players and an underachieving record pushed him out. Doherty stayed out of coaching for two years before leading the Owls to a 14-6 conference record and its seventh winning season ever in the 2005-2006 season. He is now head coach of Southern Methodist University. HEARYE, HEARYE "He was good. He has to become a lockdown defender but he played real well. He played really smart and took good care of the ball. I thought it was his best collegiate game. You can expect the things that he does. You can expect him to continue to do that stuff." Kansas coach Belf Self on Rodrick Stewart. Kansas 7-0 THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE PETER BROWN Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Never thought Robinson's ranking would go down this low. The ultimate model of consistency will start playing like himself again tonight. ★★☆★ M. E. M. A. Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE Chalmers did a good job of taking over down the stretch both offensively and defensively toward the end of regulation. But where was he for the game's first 37 minutes? Florida Atlantic 1-5 Xavier Perkins, 6-foot-4 freshman guard Xavier Perkins, 6-foot-4 freshman guard A redshirt freshman from Delray Beach, Fla. Perkins has played more than 18 minutes per game and averaged 4.8 points per game for the Owls. FAU C. WESTERN AVE. DETROIT, MI 48103 ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ Rodrick Stewart, 6-foot-4 senior guard If students actually still came to Allen Fieldhouse, they'd get to see how Stewart has developed into a viable offensive threat - not to mention one of the most exciting athletes in college basketball. ★★★★ N. E. SANGLING Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Carderro Nwoji, 6-foot junior guard FAU ★★★★★ Arthur had his best game of the season Sunday on a night when Bill Sell said the guards didn't pass the ball down low enough. It's a semi-homecoming for Nwoji, who played his high school ball at Wichita South High School in Wichita, Kan. Nwoji handles the point guard duties for Florida Atlantic and lead the Owls with 29 assists in six games. Carlos Monroe, 6-foot-8 junior forward Monroe, a Second-Team All-Belt selection last season, was named to the coaches' preseason All Sun Belt Conference First team. The Philadelphia native is averaging 17.2 points per game. ★★★☆ ★★★★ Paul Graham III, 6-foot-5 junior guard FAU Sasha Kaun. 6-foot-11 senior center Kaun's rebounding numbers from the Arizona game, two in 25 minutes, are embarrassing. It's close to impossible to come down with that few. Kaun needs to start rebounding soon or Kansas will be in big trouble later this season. Another Philadelphia native, Graham is leading the Owls in scoring at 17.8 points per game, and shooting 42 percent from three-point range. Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard Brittany Rush, junior guard If Rush didn't play as well as he did for as long as he did against Arizona, the Jayhawks would have probably lost. That said, don't expect Rush to play 36 minutes again tonight; he'll probably play about 20. ★★★☆☆ ★★★★ ★☆☆☆ A. A. BURKE Students come to the game. You see, for a place to "rock" and maintain its reputation as one of the best venues in college basketball, it has to be full. Whatever the reason was for its emptiness on Sunday in the biggest game of the nonconference season, it can't happen again. Kansas is a Top 10 team. Teams ranked in the Top 10 without any basketball history can sell out their gym. The Jayhawks nearly lost Sunday night and have lost non-conference home games in three of the past four seasons. Allen Fieldhouse used to be the toughest place to play in college basketball, but suddenly it doesn't seem quite as mighty. Tonight's game will probably be a laugher, but let's hope students fill the Fieldhouse to show that Sunday was an aberration. Mark Dent ALLEN FIELDHOUSE WILL ROCK IF... FAU 5 Jeff Parmer, 6-foot-8 senior forward Parmer provides Florida Atlantic with size and depth in the frontcourt. The senior forward can also shoot the three - he's 5-11 this season from behind the arc FAU Darrell Arthur ★ ★ ☆ ☆ THE SIXTH MAN 0 Gerrick Simmons, 6-foot-6 senior forward Simmons is playing 18.3 minutes per game off the bench, registering 3.8 points and 3 rebounds per contest. FAU 2 ★ ★ ★ ★ — Rustin Dodd PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF... The Jayhawks don't score from the perimeter. All but 16 of Kansas' points against Arizona came from free throws or shots in the paint. The Jayhawks only made two three-pointers out of 10 attempts. One positive aspect of that number is that it means Kansas guards number is that it means Kara grabs wore able to penetrate and get to the foul line or make runners in the paint. The negative is that outside shooting is necessary to win most basketball games. What if a team switches to a zone? The Jayhawks have to count on Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, Russell Robinson and even Darrell Arthur to make shots from outside of 15 feet. FAU TIP-OFF AT AGLANCE Florida Atlantic has struggled to a 1-5 record, including a 31-point loss against South Florida on Nov 17. The Owls, who are coming off a 77-66 loss at UMKC on Monday, won 10 conference games in their first season in the Sun Belt Conference last year. This year they were picked to finished fourth in the Sun Belt's East Division in the Sun Belt Preseason Coaches Poll. Florida Atlantic is a mid-major program trying to make a name for itself in the saturated Florida college sports environment. WHOTOWATCH Rex Walters, Florida Atlantic coach Rex Walters is in his first season at the helm of Florida Atlantic. Walters was previously an assistant under former FAU coach and Kansas assistant Matt Doherty. Walters first made a name for himself as one of the best players of the early Roy Williams era. Walters, who transferred from Northwestern, played two seasons at Kansas and led Kansas to the Final Four in 1993. The Omaha, Neb., native averaged 15.6 points per game at Kansas and was named Big Eight Male Athlete of the Year in 1993. Walters followed up his Jayhawk career with a seven-year stint in the NBA. Coach Bill Self said he hopes Kansas fans give Walters a warm reception before the game. Walters QUESTION MARK Will the students show up? Bill Self expressed frustration with the student turnout for the Arizona game during his weekly Hawk Talk radio show. "To be candid, it was disappointing to our players," Self said. "They pointed to this as THE non-conference game of the season, and there were fewer students than any game since I've been here." With the football team on hiatus until its bowl game, the basketball team should receive more attention. But will students pack the Fieldhouse for a Wednesday night game against a lackluster opponent? HEARYE. HEARYE "Rex will have his troops fired up and certainly he was a great, great, great player here – one of the best athletes that played in the backcourt here. People take that for granted. He was a stud athlete." Coach Bill Self on former Kansas star Rex Walters returning to Kansas as the coach of Florida Atlantic.

"Now boys and girls, in the realm of e-lecteeleer, you've got to be a pro on BRUGGER ID." because you've got to be properly FLUGGED IN! He plugs the cords together to demonstrate proper sex between a man and a woman, then bangs the two female ends and the two male ends against each other to demonstrate the futility of connecting same sex partners. He sings in a loud scratchy voice. "It's not OK to be gay, it's not OK to be a HO-MO! You weren't designed to be that way. God says that it's a big NO-NO! It's not OK to be gay. It's not okay to be a PER-VERT! It's not in your DNA, what you need is to be CONVERTed." With the crowd jeering, laughing and even singing along, Brother Jed has them primed for scripture. He starts by quoting the first chapter of Romans, talking about God's intended use for women: obedient servants who stay home and make babies. George E. Smock, 64, Colombia, Mo., better known as Brother Jed, makes his living traveling to college campuses across the United States engaging in what he calls "confrontational evangelism." Although sometimes joined by his obedient wife Sister Cindy, Brother Jed is the contentious voice of his profitable nonprofit entity, Campus Ministry USA, and his targets are the seven deadly college sinners: fornicators, rock 'n' rollers, sodomites, feminists, false religionists, drunkards and dopeers.

With Bible in one hand and electrical cords in the other, Brother Jed packs up his white 1995 Lincoln Town Car and drives from campus to campus to preach the fear of God to students as they walk to class. A REFORMED SINNER Brother Jed was raised in Indiana by Methodist parents, and his father was an English professor at Indiana State University. He briefly taught a history class at the University of Wisconsin before he decided to start preaching. "I spent all my life around colleges and universities," Brother Jed said. "I wanted to come back and preach to where I came from. College students are the future of the world and I wanted key people to reach." SEE BROTHER JED ON PAGE 8A Brother Jed knew from his own experience that he would find plenty of sinners on campuses. He said he began drinking as a teenager and used drugs, mainly LSD and marijuana, in his college years. He said that while working on his master's at Indiana State University, one of his professors encouraged him to write a thesis on the effects of smoking seven joints in a row based on his own personal research.

Timothy Elliott faces a Dec. 7 court hearing over whether he violated his probation when he bought the $10 ticket for the $800 Million Spectacular game at a supermarket in Hyannis. Elliott was placed on five years' probation after pleading guilty in October 2006 to unarmed robbery for a January 2006 heist at a bank on Cape Cod. Under terms of his probation, he "may not gamble, purchase lottery tickets or visit an establishment where gaming is conducted, including restaurants where Keno may be played." Elliott, 55, has collected the first of 20 annual $50,000 checks from the Massachusetts lottery commission. A picture of Elliott, holding his first check, was posted on the lottery's Web site Monday, though it was removed by Wednesday. As part of his sentence, Elliott was put under the care of the state Mental Health Department and sent to a hospital for treatment, and state officials refused Wednesday to say whether he was still being treated. A telephone number for Elliott could not immediately be located Wednesday, and it was not clear whether he had a lawyer. The lottery routinely cross references the names of winners with the state Revenue Department to see if they owe back taxes or child support, lottery spokesman Dan Rosenfield said.

MATTHEW ANDREW STEARNS Wichita sophomore "I wish it would have been the national title, but the best one we can play, so I guess the Fiesta Bowl." clarification The end of the Crossing is further away than previously reported. Assistant manager Alex Plassmeyer said the Crossing, a popular bar at 12th and Oread Streets, would close Dec. 20 instead of Dec. 6 as management said earlier this month. Plassmeyer also said there is a possibility that the Crossing would stay open into the spring because of the City Commission's recent action to postpone its decision about Oread Inn. If the bar stays open in the spring, Plassmeyer said it would temporarily close during Winter Break and reopen in late January. Oread Inn is a proposed seven-story hotel structure that would feature 74 hotel rooms, condos, restaurants and an underground parking garage. The Crossing, Beat the Bookstore, the Yello Sub building and Big Burrito would be demolished if Oread Inn is approved. The developers of Oread Inn must present their plan to the Historic Resources Commission Dec. 20 before presenting it to the City Commission in January. in brief Student diagnosed with Hepatitis A Last week, a University of Kansas student was diagnosed with Hepetitis A, according to a KU news release. Dr. Patricia Denning, Student Health Services chief of staff, said in the press release that the risk for students was low. Mal Do, marketing coordinator for Student Health Services, said fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort and yellow skin were all symptoms of Hepatitis A. Hepititis A is transmitted through the fecal / oral route. Symptoms usually appear about two weeks after exposure. Vaccinations for Hepetitis A are available at Watkins Health Center. Good hygiene is another way to prevent contracting Hepetits A. Do suggested frequent hand washing, including after using the restroom or changing a diaper and before eating. — Sarah Neff contact us Tell us your news Contact Eric R.

Dukakis, former Massachusetts governor and 1988 presidential candidate, fulfilled that responsibility with a life dedicated to public service. He shares his experiences at "An Evening with Michael Dukakis" tonight at 7:30 at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. Dukakis said he was proud to be part of a nation of immigrants and the most open political system in the world. Dukakis graduated from Swarthmore College and Harvard Law School, and served in the U.S. Army. In 1978, Dukakis was elected as the Massachusetts governor, and he brought the state out of a period of record-high unemployment and a severe economic crisis. Dukakis said he thoroughly enjoyed his career in public service. "There's nothing like it; it has to be the highest calling," Dukakis said. "And there's no reason why you can't maintain a high standard of integrity in public service." Dukakis said he encouraged his students to pursue careers in public and community service, but not if a large salary was a priority. "If you want to make a lot of money, don't go into public service," Dukakis said. Clarissa Unger, Dole Institute student assistant and Colby junior, said Dukakis would be a wealth of information for the presidential election because he was a candidate himself. She also said Dukakis had an incredible record as the Governor of Massachusetts and it would be interesting to hear how he turned things around for his state. With his experience in the 1988 presidential campaign trail, Dukakis said he would visit about the upcoming election. He said campaigning had become such a drawout process that, as a candidate, it became very impersonal hearing yourself say the same things over and over. He said if he was running for president he would employ the tactics of former Vice President Al Gore or former President Bill Clinton riding through the nation, stopping in communities to personally meet the voters. Today, Dukakis teaches one semester at Northeastern University in Massachusetts, and one semester at the University of California in Los Angeles. He said he thought the nation was turning out some of its strongest students right now, and he enjoyed working with those who were active in public and community service. Barbara Ballard. Dole Institute Associate Director of Outreach, said she would ask Dukakis a variety of questions to help the public see both the personal and professional side of Governor Dukakis. "I think when we say 'evening with Michael Dukakis' we want people to leave knowing a lot more than when they came in," Ballard said. "We want to give people a global picture of Michael Dukakis." Ballard said although Dukakis had strong name recognition, many people only knew one side of him. She said few people realized his many roles as the Massachusetts governor, a presidential candidate, a son of Greek immigrants, a university professor and that he held law degree from Harvard. Ballard said his commitment to public service was highly commendable. "How did he come to dedicate his whole live to public service?" Ballard said. "It's the trying that is important." Dukakis said he looked forward to visiting with the audience at the Dole Institute tonight. He said one thing that didn't come through in the campaigns was his great sense of humor. "Humor isn't encouraged in the campaigns for some reason," Dukakis said, "But it will be in full display at KU." Tonight's event is free and open to the public. — Edited by Meghan Murphy student senate notebook Student Senate committees met last night to vote on legislation concerning large improvement projects on campus, general funds and sponsoring groups involved in presidential campaigns. All items approved through committees will be voted on in full Senate on Dec. 3 before they are officially passed. $75,000 KJHK EXPANSION PROJECT TABLED The finance committee voted to table a bill to give $75,000 of funds to KJHK 90.7 FM, the University's student-run radio station. KJHK is gathering funds for a $250,000 project to move the station from its current office, commonly known as "The Shack," on 11th Street across from Memorial Stadium, to the Kansas Union. Tom Johnson, station manager for KJHK, said that the University asked the station to leave The Shack, which is not compliant with federal standards for safety and disability, and move to the Kansas Union by fall 2009. Austin Kelly, student body treasurer, said in finance committee that he supported the bill because the funds would come from the Student Senate reserve account, which is used to sponsor large projects to improve campus. Adam McGonigle, Wichita sophomore and chair of the student executive committee, said he wanted to see what the $75,000 would be spent on before approving it. The same bill was passed by the student rights committee. LING SPONSORED FOR STUDENT LECTURE SERIES The Finance Committee passed a bill to raise $10,000 to sponsor Lisa Ling, a prominent journalist, to speak at the Leid Center on April 3, 2008, as part of the Student Lecture Series. Some senators opposed the bill on the grounds that Student Union Activities should be sponsoring these types of events. McGonigle said that regardless of the cost, the event would affect enough students on campus to be worth the cost. Bill Wahlberg, Sunnyvale, Calif., junior and journalism senator, said about 700 students were expected to attend the lecture. STUDENTS FOR HILLARY TABLED The Finance Committee tabled a bill to give $200 in general funds to KU Students for Hillary, a registered student group which seeks to promote Hillary Clinton's campaign for the presidency. Although Student Senate regularly sponsors partisan groups such as College Republicans and Young Democrats, the senators who voted to table the bill said they wanted to ensure that the University did not pay for items that endorsed a political candidate. The Finance Committee will review the bill when the group has told the student body treasurer how the money will be spent. CAMPUS ECM decides not to sell building to developers Community supports preserving church BY SARAH NEFF sneff@kansan.com The Ecumenical Christian Ministry board decided not to sell the building on 12th and Oread streets to the developers who are trying to build the Oread Inn. Thad Holcombe, campus pastor at ECM, said the board talked about the sacred space associated with the building and the historical significance it held for students, alumni and community members. The ECM board estimated that it would need over $700,000 to upgrade and repair the building. Holcombe said that after the stories about the situation were published in The heard about the possibility of the ECM building being demolished. Harper said he and Holcombe were in the preliminary stage of getting the building designated as historic in the national and state registries. Harper said he would offer as much help as the ECM wanted. "Our group is definitely interested in keeping the structure there and helping to raise money so it can continue to serve the community." "Our group is definitely interested in keeping the structure there and helping to raise money so it can continue to serve the community," Harper said. Sarah Martin, national register coordinator with the Kansas, State TOM HARPER Founder, Lawrence Modern University Daily Kansan and then in the Lawrence Journal-World, he was approached by people who wanted to help save the building. "We are really encouraged," Holcombe said. Holcombe said a consulting firm had offered to do a free feasibility study for the ECM to see how much money the ECM would need to raise for renovations. Tom Harper, founder of Lawrence Modern, a community group that focuses on mid-century architecture and design, said he approached Holcombe after he Historical Society, said a building must be at least 50 years old to be considered historic. If a building is declared historic, the Historical Society will protect it from demolition. The ECM was built in 1960, so it will be another two years before it can be added to the registry. She said it would probably fall under the historical category of architectural or engineering significance. Meghann Curry, Wichita senior, said she went to Veggie Lunch at the ECM almost every Thursday. "I think the decision was a good one," Curry said. "I think it would be a real loss if the ECM wasn't there."

The FBI joined Illinois State Police and local authorities Monday in the search for Peterson's wife, 28-year-old Stacy Peterson, who was reported missing on Oct. 29, 2007. upstairs bedroom and put it in his sport utility vehicle, according to media reports that cited anonymous sources close to the investigation into Stacy Peterson's disappearance last month. The step- brother, Thomas Morphey, later became distraught after learning that Stacy Paterson was missing and tried to kill himself, the Chicago Tribune and The Joliet Herald News reported Wednesday. Authorities say Drew Peterson is a suspect in his fourth wife's disappearance and have called her case a possible homicide. Investigators are also re-examining the 2004 death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio. Police have said her death may have been a homicide staged to look like an accidental bathtub drowned. Peterson took a day off from the Bolingbrook Police Department on Oct.28, the day Stacy Peterson was last seen by her relatives. He had been scheduled to work at 5 p.m. that day. Peterson, 53, has denied any wrongdoing and said he believed his 23-year-old wife left him for another man and was alive. Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, denied anyone helped Peterson move any container from the home and claimed the stepbrother has a history of mental problems. Steve Carcerano, a friend of Drew Peterson's, said Peterson told him "I don't know what world Thomas Morphey is living in, our world, his world or if he's veering back and forth between the real world and whatever fantasy world he's living in", Brodsky told The Associated Press. he had called. Morphey to confront him. "He called him and said, 'Why are you say ing this stuff?' Carcerano told the AP. A spokesman for Will County prosecutors declined to comment on the media reports, and Illinois State Police did not return messages. There was no answer Wednesday when a reporter knocked on the door of Morphey's home. Peterson took a day off from the Bolingbrook Police Department on Oct. 28, the day Stacy Peterson was last seen by her relatives. He had been scheduled to work at 5 p.m. that day, but called in saying his wife was missing and he had to watch the kids, according to police. Peterson has since resigned from the police force. The phone did ring while Peterson was gone, and the caller ID said "Stacy" the Tribune reported. Peterson came back to the coffee shop and drove Morphey to Peterson's home. Peterson reportedly asked Morphey to help him move something from the house. After moving the plastic container to the SUV, the two left, and Peterson dropped Morphey off at his own home, according to the Tribune. Sharon Bychowski. Peterson's next-door neighbor, said she baby-saw Drew Peterson's children three days later, on the morning of Oct. 31, for 90 minutes. She said Peterson told her he had to visit a relative in the hospital who had tried to commit suicide. When Peterson returned to pick up his children, she asked how the relative was doing. "He said, 'Lost his job, lost his family.' Bychowski told the AP. show a report of a drug overdose involving sleeping pills for Morphey around 11 p.m. on Oct. 29. He was stabilized and taken to a hospital. The logs indicate Morphey never talked to a police officer, and the Tribune reported that it was a friend of Morphey's who contacted police. INTERNATIONAL Teacher could be jailed for naming teddy bear Muhammad ASSOCIATED PRESS The country's top Muslim clerics pressed the government to ensure that the teacher, Gillian Gibbons, is punished, comparing her action to author Salman Rushdie's "blasphemies" against the Prophet Muhammad. KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudan charged a British teacher Wednesday with inciting religious hatred — a crime punishable by 40 lashes — because she allowed her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad as part of a class project. The charges against Gibbons angered the British government, which urgently summoned the Sudanese ambassador to discuss the case. British and American Muslim groups also criticized the decision. Gibbons, 54, was arrested at her home in Khartoum on Sunday after some parents of her students accused her of naming the bear after Islam's prophet. Muhammad is a common name among Muslim men, but the parents saw applying it to a toy animal as an insult. Officials in Sudan's Foreign Ministry have tried to play down the case, calling it an isolated incident and predicting Tuesday that Gibbons could be released without charge. But hard-liners have considerable weight in the government of President Omar al-Bashir, which came to power in a 1989 military coup that touted itself as creating an Islamic state. The northern part of the country bases its legal code on Islamic Sharia law, and al-Bashir often seeks to burnish his religious credentials. Last year, he vowed to lead a jihad, or holy war, against U.N. peacekeepers if they deployed in the Darfur region of western Sudan. He relented this year to allow a U.N.-African Union force there — but this month said he would bar Scandinavian peacekeepers from participating because newspapers in their countries ran caricatures of Prophet Muhammad last year. Streets were calm Wednesday in Khartoum, but a pickup truck drove through the capital with loudspeakers blaring calls for Muslims to protest Friday after prayers and not to let their religion be insulted. Sudanese Prosecutor-General Salah Eddin Abu Zaid said that Gibbons was charged with inciting religious hatred and that her case would be referred to courts Thursday. If convicted, she faces up to 40 lashes, six months in jail and a fine, said Abdul-Daem Zumrawi, an undersecretary at the Justice Ministry. The verdict and any sentence are up to "the discretionary power of the judge," he said, according to the state Sudanese News Agency. The case set up an escalating diplomatic dispute with Britain, Sudan's former colonial ruler. "We are surprised and disappointed by this development," said Michael Ellam, a spokesman for Prime Minister Gordon Brown. He said Foreign Secretary David Miliband would urgently summon Sudanese Ambassador Omer Mohammed Ahmed Siddig and ask "for the rationale behind the charges and a sense of what the next steps might be." "We will consider our response in the light of that," Ellam said. Parents plead guilty to kidnapping Julia Redd, 58, and husband Lemuel Redd, 60, pleaded guilty to custodial interference, a misdemeanor, capping the legal end of a family dispute over their daughter Juliana's choice for a husband. The plea spared them jail time. A judge immediately sentenced the parents to three years of probation and ordered them to pay $2,000, the cost of a meal that was missed on the eve of the original wedding date, along with the mental evaluation. PROVO, Utah — A couple accused of kidnapping their daughter on the eve of her wedding pleaded guilty Wednesday to a reduced charge, and a judge ordered mental-health professionals to evaluate them for actions he called "clearly irrational." "This is a tragedy, and it clearly The parents had originally been charged with kidnapping their 20-year-old daughter in August 2006. The Redbs had picked up her to take her shopping to buy religious garments for the ceremony in a Mormon temple, but instead drove more than 200 miles to Grand Junction, Colo., where they spent a night in a motel. ASSOCIATED PRESS CRIME Their daughter has said her parents berated her on the drive, accusing her of breaking the Old Testament's Fourth Commandment, which says to honor parents. She said they called her fiance "evil and wicked." involves, in my view, mental illness," at Dishart Judge James Taylor said. Julianna Myers, now 21, told the judge that she is afraid of her mother and was disappointed that it took more than a year for her parents to accept responsibility. Julianna and Perry Myers were married Aug. 8, 2006, three days later than planned — and without the Redds in attendance. A court order has prevented the Redds from speaking to their daughter or son-in-law for more than a year. The young couple had a daughter last spring. "We don't tell anybody where we live. We have a P.O. box," said Myers, who added that her mother "would stop at nothing" to learn where she lives. In Britain, the Gibbons family declined to speak with The Associated Press, saying the British government had advised them not to comment. Defense attorney Rhome Zabriskie said the parents hoped they could mend fences. British-style education to about 750 students from elementary through high school. Most students are Muslims from affluent Sudanese families. "Julia recognizes this is a huge mistake she's made in her life," he said. Police in downtown Khartoum stood guard outside the school, which closed after Gibbons' arrest. It was founded in 1902 to provide about what they did with the bear, and the entries were compiled into a book with the bear's photo on the cover and the title "My Name is Muhammad," in what teachers in Britain said was a common exercise. Each student then took the bear for a weekend to write a diary entry Lemuel Redd told reporters: "We have apologized, and we are sorry." Officials at Unity High School, where Gibbons taught, say she was teaching her 7-year-old students about animals and in September asked one girl to bring in her teddy bear. Gibbons then asked the students to pick names for the bear, and they voted to name it Muhammad.

Less than a day after Castroneves was declared the winner, Vazquez, a Miami-based business executive, announced she had called off her engagement to the Brazilian race-car driver. Castroneves out-danced finalists Melanie Brown and Marie Osmond on Tuesday night's show. "There's been a lot of rumors Sparks flew this season between "Cheetah Girl" Sabrina Bryan and her dance partner, Mark Ballas. Two seasons ago, Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff reportedly generated heat off the dance floor. and a lot of stuff said, and she just wanted confirmed that they are no longer engaged. There's no animosity, there's nothing mean. Just a simple confirmation." Vazquez's publicist, Howard Bragan, told the Associated Press on Wednesday. Was Bragman hinting at viewer speculation that something seemed to be brewing between Castronevex Bragman said Castroneves and Vazquez had been together for more than six years and became engaged last year. Castroneves confirmed his split with Vazquez to People.com. "I'm not gonna talk about the rumors. I mean, they're clearly out there," said Bragman. and dance partner Julianne Hough? Hough called off her engagement to dancer Zach Wilson earlier this year. Hough was also the partner of "Dancing" champion Apolo Anton Ohno. She told "Access Hollywood": "There was nothing with Apolo last season and there's nothing with Hello now."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM and to petition the government for a redress of grievances THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2007 PAGE 7A BURGERTIMES New grading system causes confusion Implementing a +/- grading scale can dilute students' grade point averages JACOB MUSELMANN Along with the countless other academic nuances under review at the University of Kansas, grade reporting has also come under some scrutiny. Typically, final grades are given in whole letters. Now there is a move to change the grading system to show how strong that grade was. What would be a final grade of B is reported as a B- or B+. More specificity in this area seems silly. I will admit, last semester one of my professors reported an A- for me, and it really stole the thunder of an A. Minus is always bad to me, which makes half of very letter grade bad. For all of us, there are a few letters that are intrinsically bad as well, regardless if they're paired with a plus sign or not. Overall, it creates a lot more bad-feeling grades. Also, this new system could divide what was once one letter grade into two or even three new ones (B-, B, B+). This seems to me to be a half-step to simply reporting the student's percentage in the class. As if working for the letter grade weren't stressful enough—now students can wig out over which half of the letter grade they fall on, too. The new system only shifts old grading discrepancies. Perhaps giving the student a C+ now ameliorates the issue of pushing a 79% to a B (probably not), but the new question lies in the middle of the letter. Can my 84 percent be bumped up to a B+? Changing the grading system in this way would certainly require changing the grade point average. If one is going to distinguish between the strength of letter grades, it should also be reflected in the GPA. Probably, it will be more complex, more confusing and the value of each student's GPA will change by virtue of this new system. In considering all of these things, I forgot the initial reason for this grading change. I guess I never knew that, either. Muselmann is a Tulsa, Okla. junior in journalism.

And yes, it may sound terrible, and rob you of hope, but it is true. Our *deus* has left his *machina*. The creator and benevolent maintenance worker of all has been driven away, and not by the ecclesiastical outlaws you might expect. Oh no, he loved the well dressed wolf men and tennis players of the world. It was the mono preach-and-teach men and women of You see I had a dream.

They told me of a postcard shop in Turkmenistan, Ala, where I could find a DVD of Freakazoid. But more importantly they told me about God's recent departure from our little slush-ball. They said that he just couldn't take the megachurches and big-tent revivalism that had been popping up in the past century or so. Especially the praise bands. Whoever first decided that the best way to show appreciation for existing was to play a guitar while a less talented friend swings a tambourine, and to repetitively shout some chorus involving the word "glory," is entirely responsible for God's current lack of interest. Although anyone that agreed is only slightly less responsible. God doesn't want us to have "fellowship" with him. God is a grumpy old man with a lot of regrets, who sometimes actually does resemble Walter Malthau. He created plagues, pine sap and large cats that enjoy ripping the faces off of things. He is not interested in a local high school's Sunshine, pardon me, Sonshine club meetin' up at the flagpole to pray about biology textbooks. In fact, if someone is attempting to ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL contact the maker of all Heaven and Earth, and is not being faced with the aforementioned cats or some other thing with similar intentions, then they are not only wasting his time, but they are selfish and need some perspective.

Text messaging alert system increases safety Improved communication with students may prevent future campus tragedy JESSE BROWN When such tragic events happen on campuses elsewhere, I don't believe it affects us as deeply because there is always that belief in the back of our minds that this can't happen to us and on our campus. After the tragedy at Virginia Tech, the nation and other colleges certainly mourned for their loss, but yet, I feel as if this cannot happen to the campus here at the University of Kansas. Recently, the University of Kansas has created a way to connect with students via cell phone by text messaging alerts that happen on campus. While there are no certain means for absolute safety and security, I believe it is a big step to ensure that safety and security and I applaud the University so that we could continue to study and attend class worry-free or worryless. When such tragic events take place in our nation, there is usually a common factor that helps in not preventing these atrocities: Miscommunication. On Sept. 11, while there are kooky conspiracys that the government was behind it all, miscommunication between our agencies hindered any preventive action or knowledge of the fore coming tragedy. We saw it all again at Virginia Tech as the shooter went from his dorm after killing a few students in the dorm rooms and ran through campus to only kill more at other buildings across the campus from his dormitory. I am in no way blaming Virginia Tech for this tragedy, but you have to wonder, if Virginia Tech had this text messaging alerts for the students then, could more lives have been saved? Even if only one student feels the vibration of his phone in his pocket, sees the alert and informs the rest of the student body, many lives could be saved. I'm not speculating that if Virginia Tech did have these text messaging alerts that this event wouldn't have been so catastrophic. It happened and that is that. However, I think it is a good thing that we, the University of Kansas, and other colleges are making strides to oppose these random acts of violence. Really, that belief that it can't happen to us, is not so prevalent these days. We live in a time of heightened fear and paranoia in this age of terrorism, and most of the time, this would cause panic, but communication can only help the situation. However, it is not the belief, "It can't happen to us," that is tugging us at this moment but that if it did happen, we would be powerless anyway. I don't really fret about it anymore because I have learned to accept that my fate could be decided at any moment, but yet, I felt a shift within me as I attended a class on Nov. 15. My pocket began to vibrate, so I pulled out my phone and I saw that I received a text message. I opened my phone and it said something like, "This is only a test," from KU and at that moment I felt truly secure. I was beginning to think of situations, where if something did happen on campus, I would be aware of the incident quickly. I could avoid dangerous areas and walk the other way, away from danger. While this is an age of terrorism, it is also an age of technology, and I see this text messaging alert system implementing our technological advantages as a way to prevent great atrocities and to only bring the students and faculty closer by communication.

He went to California after he earned a bachelor's degree and hung out with hippies on Haight-Ashbury and at Berkeley. He said he was first introduced to confrontational evangelism by a preacher named Holy Hubert, who regularly visited the University of California campus and planted a seed in his heart that wouldn't bear fruit for several years. Brother Jed, founder of Campus Ministry USA, lauds students on students on the University of Missouri campus. "I'm preaching to the multitudes," Brother Jed said. "So that calls for a more aggressive approach." Brother Jed attracts campus crowds with shock tactics and explicit descriptions of sin. WARN FORN Sister Pat, one of Brother Jed's destroyers, preaches to University of Missouri students in October. "The Jews are dead," Sister Pat said. "And most church-goers are dead. That's because they've not come alive in Christ." Jon Goering/KANSAN He briefly attended Methodist theological School in Ohio, but quit because he said some of his professors "didn't seem to believe in the authority of the Bible." Brother led continued to drink, smoke and have sex until Christmas Day in 1971 when he experienced an epiphany at a beach party in Morocco with his hippy friends. An Arab Christian crashed the party and ordered him to convert. Brother led said he woke up from his inebriated haze and started on the path to confrontational evangelism. Even without a seminary education or the credential of an ordained minister, Brother Jed decided he could be effective preaching to non-believers and sinners rather than church-going Christians. SEEKING SINNERS "My heart was in college campuses," Brother Jed said. "College students don't usually go to church, they sleep in. I realized I can reach more unbelievers in one day on a campus than I can in months in a church." He knows from his own experiences that campuses are not lacking in the sin department. Brother Jed said he hadn't committed any of SHOCK TALK the deadly sins since his conversion more than 30 years ago. He said that sin was a choice, not something humans were designed to do, and he disagreed with churches that taught sin as part of the human condition. "Sin is exceptional in my life, I don't practice sin," Brother jed said. Brother Jed attracts campus crowds with shock tactics and explicit descriptions of sin. "You act like animals! You get down and sniff one another's genitals. You lick one another's genitals. That's what animals do!" Brother Jed yelled at a KU crowd in front of Wescoe Hall. "Women licking out other women's vaginas. Men are sucking on other men's penises. That's animal-like behavior." The shock method attracts passersby and some stay to debate with him, he said. When he doesn't have an audience, his voice softens, he tones down his explicit language and recites scripture. He said people wouldn't listen to him if he stood out there softly preaching God's love and forgiveness. He points to students in the crowd and condemns them based on their appearances. Women wearing shorts are sluts, whereas those dressed in long skirts and blouses to cover their breasts are exemplary Christians. Emily Meyer, Missouri sophomore, recalled how Brother Jed's wife Sister Cindy once called her a whore. Meyers informed her that she was a virgin, and Sister Cindy announced it to the crowd. Myers said she was mortified that her sex life became a public announcement. She said she then tried to convince Brother Jed that he would get "He made all Christians look ignorant and stupid," said Meyers, who still goes by the name Emily Lovey-Dovey. more people to listen to him if he told them about Christ's unconditional love and how He died for their sins so that they could go to heaven. "He was literally no more than three inches from my face, yelling at me and telling me I was a stupid woman and that since I was a woman, I didn't have permission to talk," Meyer said. Isaac Vargas, University of Nebraska-Lincoln sophomore, said he saw Brother Jed on campus and Brother Jed She said she wanted to hit him, but instead cried and berated him for his ignorance. She he called pulled away from her and screamed to the crowd. "If anyone wants to hear about 'God's love' then they need to go talk to Ms. Lovey-Dove-Kumbayah over here." All but three moved to listen to her. She apologized to the crowd on behalf of Brother Jed, and told them there was hope for everyone, even him. accused him of being in school just to party. Vargas told him that wasn't the case; he was an out-of-state student, paying $20,000 a year for school. Vargas broke Brother Jed scaffed on him and said that he wasn't paying for school, his parents were. "He spoke out of ignorance. I pay all my tuition and rent from my jobs, my scholarships, and my loans." Vargas said. "He's a burn. No steady income, always driving around. He's raising a family off of donations. He's a burn, he justjustifies it through the Bible." Thad Holcombe, pastor at KU's Ecumenical Christian Ministries, said Brother Jed's attack methods played on the anxiety of people. He said he hoped students were wise enough not to debate him, because the only way win was to agree with him. HOLINESS PEOPLE "Jesus was not into pointing out what people did wrong as much as asking questions, but often did it with parables and stories that appeared to have different answers," Holcombe said. Brother Jed on You Tube A man holding a branch. The sex education lesson occurred during Brother Jed's spring visit to the University of Kansas, but the scene has occurred at numerous universities over the last 30 years. It was captured on video by Josh Waller, Overland Park resident and Johnson County Community College sophomore, who was attending Kansas State University at the time. It can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU5x1-u1UAg. Waller said after seeing Brother Jed's show at Kansas State, he decided to drive to Lawrence the next day to see and record what he called Brother Jed's "circus." "A Jed sighting is really an experience,"Waller said. Tim Miller, professor of religious studies, said Brother Jed represented what he called "holiness people," who make a list of what sin is, and then just don't do those things. He said Brother Jed represented a small minority in the diverse umbrella faith of Christianity. Featuring Fine Art & Music THE LAWRENCE ART GUILD'S Holiday Art Fair '07 Miller said Brother Jed's literal translations of the Bible, such as on the status of women, were problematic because language had changed with time and translations. For example, Miller said one Bible passage said women should not speak in church, but the original Greek definition for speaker was closer to idle chatter.

ALL IN THE FAMILY Brother Jed met his wife. Sister Cindy, in the late '70s when he was preaching at the University of Florida where she was a student. She laughed at him at first, but eventually became fond of him and dropped out of school to travel with him. He said they didn't kiss until after they said, "I do." Florida. Justina is a nanny for a family friend in Ohio. Martha and Priscilla are still at home. All of the daughters were home schooled and their main text was the Bible, Brother Jedi said. Sometimes Brother led brings his entire family with him to preach, and they often join him at Speakers Circle on his home campus at Missouri. The Smock family lives less than 10 miles from the campus in a two story, nine-room red brick house worth more than $223,000, according to the Boone county assessor. Sam Schleicher, Missouri sophomore, he said once argued with Priscilla Smock, 13, about whether Led Zeppelin's music was satanic. Priscilla insisted the music was evil, though she admitted she had never listened to it, he said. "It's painfully obvious she simply regurgitates everything her dad tells her. She never takes the time to question it; she's just an empty jar being filled with Brother Jed's irrational message," Schleicher said. "However, she does seem to enjoy what she is doing. She is most definitely there on her own accord and is not being forced to do anything." They have five daughters, leaving little doubt who is in charge of a household consisting of six women and a preacher who believes that women should be obedient. Evangeline, the oldest daughter, joined the U.S. Army and works as a chaplain's assistant at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. Charlotte has a nursing degree and works in Brother Jed denies he has indoctrinated his children but rather has exposed them to a variety of beliefs by taking them to university campuses their whole lives and letting them talk to non-believers. At home. Brother Jed plays board games with his family, attends a local Methodist church when he is home on Sundays, listens to Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, and follows his favorite baseball team, the Chicago White Sox. "I have joy in my life," he said. Brother Jed founded Campus Ministry USA as a charitable rather than religious nonprofit because he is not an ordained minister. The statement on IRS documents justifying the purpose for his charitable tax exemption says, "To evangelize college campuses and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to America and the world." Donations provide the only income for him and his ministry. He gets most of his donations by speaking at churches that give him offerings, and he said he received donations from converts, though he refused to name individual donors. MINISTRY MONEY According to IRS documents, Campus Ministry USA averaged $84,755 in donations per year from 1999 to 2005. Brother Jed said he received a generous donation from the Evangel Tabernacle World Prayer Center in Louisville, Ky., and that other churches scattered across the country supported him as well. By comparison, Scott Brewer, director of research at the general council on finance and administration at the United Methodist Church, said senior Methodist ministers earned an average of $54,081 per year, including benefits such as housing and health insurance. HIS DESTROYERS Brother Jed has made friends along the way who volunteer to preach with him, he said. He calls them the destroyers. The name comes from the book of John, one of his favorites in the Bible, "that he might destroy the works of the devil" and from I Corinthians, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." One destroyer, who identifies herself only as Sister Pat, joined Brother jed on a cold October day at Missouri. She stood in the middle of Speakers Circle asking each passer-by, "Are you a virgin? Are you a virgin?" Sister Pat, a 78-year-old widow, comes off as a vulgar grandmother while asking that question. She has a small stature and kind eyes, but she yells at students with the same crude conviction as Brother Jed. She said she volunteered her time to preach with Brother jed and traveled with him occasionally. Ruben Israel Chavez, 44, Los Angeles, who is listed in IRS documents as Vice President of Campus Ministry USA, joins Brother led sometimes, but mostly preaches on his own on the West Coast. He focuses on sinners at major events such as the Grammy's and the Academy Awards where he avoidly condemns gays and lesbians. Chavez claims credit for creating the electrical cord display when preaching at a gay pride parade, but concedes that Brother led's version is more shocking. Chavez defends the shock techniques he and Brother Jed use to draw crowds. "We live in a Jerry Springer world," Chavez said. "If you don't do something a little comical you're not going to get an audience." REFLECTING THE BIBLE Somewhere between the life of a poor but loving Jewish carpenter and that of a successful and wealthy telewavelist, Brother jed created his own unique nomadic ministry. He chose campuses because it was during his college years that he considered himself to be the most sinful. By devoting his life to condemning others for what he has done, he publicly acknowledged and condemned his own transgressions. On stage in his outdoor campus pulpits, Brother led is loud, combative and condemning. When the preaching ends, he is contemplative, soft-spoken and careful not to interrupt. Still, he appears unaffected by student ridicule and refuses to apologize for his condemnation of sinners.

Since the first BCS standings came out on Oct. 14, there has been no consistency about who should rightfully play for the National Championship. After a crazy college football season, no team except Hawaii, ranked No. 12 in the BCS, is undefeated. There is still no clear-cut picture of who is the best team in the nation. Right now, the No. 1 team in the BCS standings is Missouri, which is a three-point underdog for its Big 12 Championship game against Oklahoma. Last week, it was LSU, and the week before that, Ohio State. After this weekend, there could be yet another team ranked No. 1 in the BCS. If you look at the rest of the teams who may receive BCS bowl bids, there is one giant cluster of teams with only one or two losses. With this in mind, the BCS should be renamed the Bowl Cluster@#%!. Series. The BCS is like no other post-season challenge in all of college sports. It places the top Division I-FBS teams in various exhibition matches around the country. There's no tournament where the nation gets to see the best teams triumphantly rise above the rest. That's right, the Bowl Cluster@#%! Series. You may recognize the characters after the word "cluster" as comic book-style cursing. If not, they signify a word that starts with the letter "F". There is a set of BCS selection policies and procedures to make certain that only the best teams get a chance to play in a BCS bowl game. If you read these policies and procedures, which are listed on www.bcsfootball.org, you get a feel for how screwed up the postseason in Division I-FBS is compared with those of every other sport and with the lower divisions in college football. Another alternative for the name Bowl Championship Series could be simply the Bowl Series. There is no true championship in the BCS, so calling it the BS would justify what it really is. The BCS procedures and policies are drawn out as part of preserving the bowl tradition. Some people involved with college football do not want to change the controversial postseason, but many people are getting fed up with the system. It's the same thing every year. Some of the nation's top teams are BY BRYAN WHEELER BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM snubbed from playing in a deserved bowl game. In 1998, Kansas State went 11-1, with its only loss coming against Texas A&M in the big 12 Championship. But because of the loss, the Wildcats had to play in the lowly Holiday Bowl. In 2003, No. 1 ranked USC was left out of the National Championship game altogether. The following year, four teams finished undefeated: Oklahoma, USC, Auburn and Utah. Only Oklahoma and USC got to play for the championship. Sports writers Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports and Gene Wojciechowski of ESPN.com have brought up the idea of a playoff system. When the first BCS standings came out, I wrote a column with a perfectly logical solution for a tournament system, as well. This year, fans around the country are already debating which teams most deserve BCS bowl bids and which teams should play for the National Championship. Just about every sports publication has some sort of bowl predictions. After this weekend though, the final BCS standings will be released, and there will without a doubt be much controversy over who gets picked to go to which bowl games. —Edited by Chris Beattie football notebook Will it be Missouri and West Virginia in the National Championship, or will it be Ohio State and West Virginia? Will Kansas even go to a BCS bowl game at all? If Oklahoma beats Missouri, will Missouri drop to the Holiday Bowl just as Kansas State did in 1998? Will LSU or USC receive enough attention if they win this weekend that they somehow rise to No. 1 and No. 2 in the BCS standings? Will Hawaii go to a BCS bowl game, or perhaps Illinois or Boston College? Who knows anything? The answer is no one. The best bet would be to work towards getting rid of the Bowl Cluster@#%! Series in future years and switch to a playoff system. If every other college sport does it, why can't the highest division in college football do it? MORE AWARDS POSSIBLE Kansas defensive coordinator Bill Young is a finalist for the Broyles Award, which is given to college football's best assistant coach.

Stewart finished the game with a career-high eight assists. The Jayhawks play USC on Fox at 1 p.m. on Sunday. First season start proves progress in long range jumpshots BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com Darnell Jackson emphasized that he wasn't turning into a three-point specialist. It just appeared that way when he drilled his second career three-pointer - on three career attempts - in the second half of Kansas' 87-49 victory against Florida Atlantic. On his first three-pointer last week against Northern Arizona, Jackson fired up a shot from the corner as the shot clock wound down. Last night, Jackson received the ball in transition and swished a three-pointer from the top of the key. Plenty of time remained on the shot clock this time, and Kansas coach Bill Self was fine with Jackson shooting it. "Ive said all along he's a good shooter," Self said. "He doesn't need to fall in love with that shot, but he certainly a good shooter. I trust his shot." 9 Self even said Jackson, senior forward, had the best shot of any Kansas big man he had coached since former All-American Wayne Simien. He probably wouldn't have said that Jackson's freshman year. Back then, Jackson's shot was a work in progress at best. He rarely shot the ball at Midwest City High School in Oklahoma City. His job was to bang down low and leave the paint only after his team scored or missed a shot. The rare use of his jumper left him with a flat shooting stroke that he's gradually given more arch to during his four years at Kansas. Assistant coach Danny Manning has especially helped Jackson home his shot. At practice, Manning guards the big men and sticks his hands up to force them to shoot the ball over him. Jackson, who averages 11.2 points per game on 63 percent shooting, has to add more elevation to his shot when he fires the ball over Manning's lanky 6-foot-10 frame. "He always tells me to get it up," Jackson said. "Put some arch under it. I've been working on that a lot." “It's good to know he can hit that shot, but that's not what we're going to go.” Case said. “We're going to go with him on the block beasting somebody. It's a bonus when he hits that shot, but we have to get him inside” Jackson said he could make the team better by consistently shooting well from the outside. If he can hit the long range jumpshot, defenses will have to respect him and leave more space for other post players to operate inside. Senior guard Jeremy Case said the guards needed to get the ball inside more often to Jackson and the other big men. Jackson's rebounding game could use some improvement. He only had two against the Owls and is averaging 5.3 per game for the season. Although Kansas won easily by using a 13-0 run in the first half and a 23-3 run in the second half, Self said his team's rebounding problems hadn't been solved yet. Kansas outrebounded Florida Atlantic 37 to 32. Jackson said Self put him in the starting lineup Wednesday night because he wanted to shuffle the big men around and see who played better starting and who played better coming off the bench. Jackson, whose humble attitude could make a monk seem prideful, could care less if he starts or makes a bunch of three-pointers. If Jackson wants to keep starting or playing big minutes, he'll need to step up his production on the boards. Sasha Kaun, senior center and the player Jackson replaced in the starting lineup, grabbed seven rebounds in 16 minutes. Self said Kaun played much better than he did against Arizona, when he only had two rebounds in 25 minutes. He wants to help the team win. "If I come off the bench or start, I still have to do my job," Jackson said. "It doesn't feel any different. If I went out there and had a bad game, wed go back to Sasha. And if he was better at starting, wed just leave it at that."

HORSE RACING Five-time Derby winner dies of natural causes FREER, Texas — Bill Hartack, a Hall of Fame jockey and five-time Kentucky Derby winner, died while on a hunting vacation. He was 74. Hartack died Monday night from natural causes due to heart disease, said Dr. Corinne Stern, the chief medical examiner in south Texas' Webb County. Hartack and fellow Hall of Fame rider Eddie Cararo are the only jockeys to win the Kentucky Derby five times. Known for his burning desire to win every single race, Hartack won his first Derby with iron Liege in 1957. He then won with Venetian Way in 1960, Decidedly in 1962, Northern Dancer in 1964 and Majestic Prince in 1969. In winning the '57 Derby, Hartack was the beneficiary of perhaps the greatest goof in racing history — when Bill Shoemaker misjudged the finish line aboard Gallant Man and Iron Liege won by a nose. HISTORY UNCOVERED Roman pottery, coin found at London Olympic Park site LONDON — Roman pottery and a coin from the Iron Age have been found on the site of the aquatics center planned for the London 2012 Olympics. Digs on the Olympic Park site have discovered evidence of Iron Age settlement, including fourth century pottery and a Roman coin from the time of Emperor Constantine II. The Museum of London has been working with London 2012 staff, who are preparing the 500-acre Olympic Park site in the capital's East End for venue construction to begin next year. "We are taking this opportunity to tell the fascinating story of the lower Lea Valley before it is given a new lease of life for the games and future generations," Olympic Delivery Authority chief executive David Higgins said Wednesday. During the Iron Age, the area was surrounded by lakes, rivers and marshes, and archaeologists have found parts of cooking pots used by settlers. The pottery and Roman coin, dated between A.D. 330-335, was found buried behind a wooden river wall. One side of the coin features a picture of two soldiers and two standards, and the other has inscriptions representing Constantine II, Caesar and Illissimus.

Students who order a ticket at the Edited by Rachel Bock >> NFL Even Bill Belichick is having a hard time ignoring the attention on his New England Patriots as they get ever closer to the NFLs first perfect season in 35 years. Hype builds around unbeaten Patriots ASSOCIATED PRESS "I don't care what everybody else thinks," he snarled this week after first suggesting that no one cared except the reporters asking the questions. "I can tell you what this team thinks. Right now, we're thinking about getting ready for Baltimore. That's how we approach the game. I can't tell you what anybody else thinks. I don't care what everybody else thinks. It doesn't make any difference." 12 It sure does, though, to the Miami Dolphins — for a couple of reasons. New England is 11-0 on the way to 16-0 — or 19-0, the record if it wins out through the Super Bowl. That would make the Patriots the NFL's first unbeaten team since the 1972 Dolphins went 14-0 in the regular season and 17-0 overall, beating Washington in the Super Bowl. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick walk off the field after beating the Indianapolis Colts in an NFL football in Indianapolis, Sunday. NFC commissioner Roger Goodell's discipline, to levy fines of $500,000 against Belichick, $250,000 against the team and take away New England's first-round draft pick, seems to have motivated what already was the NFL's best team to play even harder. Now, that same Miami franchise is at the opposite end in this season of extremes, only the third time in the NFL's 88 seasons that there ASSOCIATED PRESS Monday night before the Steelers managed a field goal to win 3-0. The Patriots then filled their biggest hole with three standout wide receivers, including Randy Moss, who was obtained for a fourthround pick from Oakland, where he was hurt and unhappy. His 16 touchdown catches are just six short of Jerry Rice's single-season record of 22. The Patriots already are a minddynasty, winning Super Bowls after the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons and reaching the AFC championship game last year before blowing a 21-3 lead and losing 38-34 to Indianapolis. Then there is Wes Welker, obtained from Miami. He is second in the league with 81 catches, including 13 last Sunday night in a 31-28 win over Philadelphia that was only the second game this season the Patriots won by less than 17 points. Their presence has turned quarterback Tom Brady into a recordbreaker as well as a winner. The MVP in two of the three Super Bowl WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa pleaded guilty to driving under the influence Wednesday, eight months after police found him asleep inside his running sport utility vehicle at a stop light and smelling of alcohol. ASSOCIATED PRESS CRIME "I accept full responsibility for my conduct, and assure everyone that I have learned a very valuable lesson and that this will never occur again". La Russa said in a statement released by his attorney, David Roth. La Russa did not appear in court to plead guilty. La Rusa said he had decided to plead guilty to the misdemeanor because it was in the best interest of all concerned. So dominant have they been since that oddsmakers are having trouble setting lines to entice wagers against them. They are winning by scores like 52-7 and 56-10, and their average victory margin is 23 points a game. Belichick has left his regulars in the game well into the fourth quarter against outmanned opponents — proof that he doesn't need contraband information. BILL BELICHICK New England Patriots coach As part of his plea agreement, La Russa will serve at least six months' probation, pay a $678.50 fine, complete DUI school and any recommended treatment and complete 50 hours of community service, according to state prosecutors. The Cardinals said their concerns were addressed during the season. La Russa pleads guilty to DUI will pay fine serve six months "I can tell you what this team thinks.

"We addressed this matter with Tony last season and the nature of those discussions will remain private," chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said in a statement. "We have been satisfied with Tony's responsible approach to this issue and we respect his decision. With today's news, our ball club considers the matter closed." The only other time it happened was 1942, when Chicago was 11-0 and Detroit 0-11. Most of the focus this time is on the Patriots. In 1984, Miami was 11-0 on the way to a 14-2 record and Super Bowl trip with Dan Marino setting passing records that wouldn't be broken for two decades. The 0-11 team was Buffalo, which finished 2-14, setting the stage for a housecleaning that brought in an administration led by Bill Polian and Marv Levy. All they would do is get the Bills to four straight Super Bowls from 1990-93. victories, Brady already has 39 TD passes this season, just 10 short of Peyton Manning's record, and the win over Philadelphia was the first game this season in which he had fewer than La Russa, 63; was arrested in March in Jupiter, where the Cardinals play spring training games.

"We're not winning any games right now, but I know what we're putting forward," says Jason Taylor, the 2006 defensive player of the year and one of the few solid veterans left.

BY SHAWN SHROYER shroyer@kansan.com Andy Marks was Kansas' top start pitcher a season ago, but the Jayhawks will be without his services until at least March in 2008. "I couldn't move it at all the first four weeks, I had it in a sling," the junior left-hander said. "Once I got that off, I started my rehab. I'm doing it every day, except on the weekends, and I go in there for about an hour every day and just do different stuff. It's more mentally draining. Some exercises are really hard to do, and it hurts a little bit, but I guess you've just got to deal with it." By January, Marks should be able to start throwing again. Coach Ritch Price said Marks is on track to join the Kansas EXPRESS YOURSGLF at Lawrence's ultimate SGLF-SGRVG yogurt bar ... "Right now, he's ahead of schedule." Price said.

Freshman Cole Aldrich, who only played one minute against Arizona, scored four points and finished with five rebounds. He got two points and one of those rebounds on a nice put-back during Kansas's 13-0 run in the first half. JEREMY CASE 1 Case turned in his best performance of the season while playing a season-high 15 minutes. He scored seven points, notched a career-high six assists and didn't turn the ball over once. THE BIG GAME IS ON SUNDAY Self said he couldn't read too much into Wednesday night's game but was pleased with team's overall effort. Kansas leaves Friday to travel to Los Angeles for a road game at Southern California, which defeated Southern Illinois last week. The Jayhawks beat the Trojans by 10 at home last season. "They are good," Self said. "Anybody that beats Southern Illinois by 25 on a neutral floor and scores 70 is good." Former Jayhawk returns to court as coach of FAU Sarah Leonard/KANSAN --Mark Dent Former Jayhawk basketball player and Florida Atlantic coach Rex Walters yells from the sidelines at his Alma Mater. Walters played under Roy Williams where he led the Jayhawks to two Big Fight titles and was named Bief Airt Athlete of the Year in 1993. BY RUSTIN DODDrdodd@kansan.com Although his team lagged behind for most of the game, which ended in a 38-point loss, Walters never stopped coaching. Even after the final horn, Walters was out on the floor trying to get one final point across to his team. Rex Walters' face was a little bit older, his attire was more Armani than Adidas, and his seat was on the visitor's bench. But Kansas fans had no problem recognizing the former Jayhawk great roaming the Florida Atlantic sidelines on Wednesday. The Allen Fieldhouse crowd honored Walters, the first-year head coach of Florida Atlantic whose fiery playing style has translated into his coaching, with a standing ovation during pre-game introductions. For the first time since 1993, Rex Walter was part of a Kansas basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas added a clip of Walters playing as a jayhawk to its pre-game highlight video. "He's just going to never quit, he's going to keep pushing, keep pushing, keep pushing." Florida Atlantic guard Carderro Nwoji said. "That introduction was very special, it did touch my heart." Walters said. "I've always said all along the people are what make Kansas basketball and this state so special. It means an awful lot to me, and then unfortunately we had to play a basketball game." when asked about the warm reception for Walters. "I got goosebumps," Self said The difference was this time Walters, who played two seasons at Kansas during 1991-92 and 92-93 and led the Jayhawks to the Final Four in 1993, wasn't in uniform. But don't think his allegiances to Kansas havent stayed strong. Walters met his wife at Kansas and lived in Lawrence for four years after college. "Someday I'll probably make my home here," Walter said while remarking about hating the cold weather. "In the summer and the spring, I'll probably back because this place is so special." And after Kansas' victory, Walters, who was named Big Eight athlete of the year in 1993, had nothing but praise for Kansas' line up. "We were playing against at least seven players that are going to be professional basketball players," Walters said as he proceeded to list off a player-by-player scouting report. "I love Russell Robinson," Walters said. "I love his toughness. I love Mario Chalmers, I love the way he plays." Walters has been around good basketball teams since his career began at Kansas. He began his coaching after playing in the NBA for seven years, and he said he thought his Kansas team in 1991-92 was the best team in the country. That team lost to University of Texas in El Paso in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The next season Walters led Kansas to the Final Four, but the jayhawks fell to North Carolina in the National Semi-Final. Walters hopes this year's Kansas team can do what his teams were unable to do: win an NCAA title. "I remember when we went to the Final Four," Walters said. "(Former Kansas assistant) Matt Doherty asked Michael Jordan, 'what does it take to get to a Final Four and win a championship?' And it's amazing that the thing that stood out to me was Michael Jordan said, 'You go to get a little lucky too.' And I hope Kansas gets a little lucky.

Seeing the Sooners reduced to messing up another team's chances wasn't what he envisioned. Two weeks after Oklahoma's national title hopes faded away on the West Texas plains, the No. 9 Sooners (10-2, 6-2) find themselves with only one stake in deciding the BCS title: spoiling top-ranked Missouri's shot at its first national championship. "Usually you hear about an unranked team or somebody playing the spoiler against Oklahoma," said Kelly, who grew up as a Texas fan but signed on as a Sooners wide receiver because he thought his chances at a title would be better. "It's just a bad deal, but we can't change it." The Sooners aren't accustomed to the role they'll play Saturday in San Antonio. It's the first time in six Big 12 title game appearances that they'll be the lower-ranked team, and only the seventh time since they won the 2000 national championship that their opponent will have a higher ranking. "We're going after a Big 12 championship. There isn't anything spoiling about that," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "Spoiler roles are those teams that are 5-6 and are trying to knock somebody out of something and they don't have anything. To me, those teams don't have a chance at it and they're trying to knock you out. We've got a chance at something really special." Oklahoma was in position to play for something even more special before quarterback Sam Bradford sustained a concussion two weeks ago at Texas Tech and had to leave the game in the first quarter. The Sooners' defense didn't respond, and backup quarterback Joey Halzle's bid to dig the team out of a 24-point hole fell short in a 14-27 loss. Otherwise, the Sooners would be playing for a spot in the BCS championship game just like Missouri (11-1, 7-1). ASSOCIATED PRESS "What happened happened, and we still have a lot in front of us," center Jon Cooper said. "We don't need to focus on that now." Instead, the Sooners have hone in on trying to become the first team ever to repeat as Big 12 champions. They've won the title a league-best four times in 2000, 2002, 2004 and last season. 4 Missouri won't be in the same situation. A loss by the Tigers would likely put Ohio State in the national championship game. Oklahoma will be seeking its first win against a No. 1 team since 2000 and actually enters the game slightly favored by oddsmakers despite looking like an underdog in the polls. "If we're favored or not, I think our mentality is the same as a team," receiver Juaquin Iglesias said. "Just if we execute well, we feel like we can win. That's what we're going to go on, we're not going to go on any other outside stuff. We're just going to try to take care of us."

The No. 9 Sooners have only one stake in deciding the BCS title: spoiling top-ranked Missouri's shot at its first national championship. Daniel among top five quarterbacks in nation BIG 12 FOOTBALL MIZZOU 10 ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, Mo. — Chase Daniel, who elbowed his way into the Heisman Trophy forefront while leading Missouri to its first No. 1 ranking since 1960, was a unanimous pick on Wednesday as the AP Big 12 offensive player of the year. Oklahoma linebacker Curtis Lofton, the top playmaker on a defense that will try to slow down the Tigers in the Big 12 championship game on Saturday night, is the defensive player of the year. Prolific Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree, a freshman who leads the nation in receptions, is the offensive newcomer of the year. The defensive newcomer of the year is Kansas freshman defensive back Chris Harris, who helped the Jayhawks win their first 12 games and rise to No. 2. Missouri is the only school in the country to score 30 points in every game and everything revolves around the unflappable Daniel. He's among the top five in the nation in touchdown passes (33), completion percentage (70.5), total offense ASSOCIATED PRESS Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel is now in Heisman contention after leading the Tigers to their first No.1 ranking since 1960. (351) and passing yards (3,951), with a knack for coming up with big plays. "You saw it, America saw it," coach Gary Pinkel said. "This guy is special, and America got to see how special he is." The latest example came in the Big 12 North title game on Saturday, when Daniel was 40-for-49 for 361 yards and three touchdowns in a 36-28 victory that also spoiled Kansas' unbeaten season. The 6-foot Daniel grew accustomed to big-game pressure at South Lake Carroll High School, a suburb of Dallas, Texas, where he won a state championship, was the two-time Class 5A player of the year and recalled a crowd of 45,000 showing up for one playoff game. It was not a difficult transition to Missouri, forever an also-ran in the Big 12 and Big Eight, where his only frame of reference before committing to Pinkel's struggling program was record-setting quarterback Brad Smith. Wrapping up a brilliant junior year. Daniel is working on wiping out many of Smith's marks while bringing the Tigers only one win shy of their first conference championship since 1969 and a shot at a first national championship. The last unanimous choice as conference offensive player of the Pinkel knew the quarterback job would be in good hands for years to come in 2005 when Daniel, as a freshman, stepped in after Smith sustained a concussion and led Missouri to a comeback victory over Iowa State. year, Texas quarterback Vince Young in 2005, led the Longhorns to a national title that year. "He's a winner, we knew that coming out of high school," Pinkel said. "You don't just do what he did accidentally." In the fourth quarter this season, Daniel is 46-for-55 for 508 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. His play rescued Missouri from a handful of tight situations in conference play. Lofton, a junior, played a pivotal role in Missouri's lone loss when he returned a botched handoff from Daniel to Jeremy Maclin for a touchdown that helped Oklahoma pull away for a 41-31 victory in mid-October. He also had 18 tackles in the game. Crabtree is the top target in Texas Tech's high-scoring offense with 125 receptions, a 14.9-yard average and 21 touchdowns. Harris started nine games for Kansas, stepping after an injury to returning starter Kendrick Harper, totaling 61 tackles and an interception.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Reliever Yasuhiko Yubata has agreed to a two-year, $6 million contract with the Kansas City Royals and will compete for a spot as the team's primary setup man. ASSOCIATED PRESS Trey Hillman, who spent the past five years managing the Nippon Ham Fighters before being hired last month by the Royals, was helpful in persuading Yabuta to come to Kansas City. "I don't know how much that factors in," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said Wednesday. "But let's face it, we've all been exposed to different things in our lives for the first time. I think the fact that Trey is very well respected not only in the U.S., but in Japan, and is very familiar with the Japanese culture certainly helps." Yabata gets $2.5 million next season and $3 million in 2009. The Royals have a $4 million option for 2010 with a $500,000 buyout, but the option becomes Yabata's if he pitches in a specified amount of games. In addition, he can earn $500,000 annually in performance bonuses. Yabuta has a 44-59 career record with nine saves and a 4.03 ERA in 343 appearances, including 86 starts. He was 4-6 with four saves "He will be an important veteran arm that will help add stability to the back end of our bullpen." DAYTON MOORE Royals GM Sprint and a 2.73 ERA in 58 relief outings this past season, then became a free agent. He walked 10 and struck out 45 in 62 2-3 innings. An interpreter will be hired for Yabuta, but the Royals believe Hillman's Japanese language skills will be adequate for any communication during games. Interprets are not allowed in dugouts. He will be introduced to the Kansas City media on today. "He throws a fastball, changeup, splitter," Moore said. "He has a slider. The changeup and split are the main reasons he's had so much success against left-handers. He keeps his fastball down in the zone. He doesn't walk a lot of guys. He makes them beat him. That's something we like." "Yasuhiko has been one of the best relievers in Japan the last several years," Moore said. "He will be an important veteran arm that will help add stability to the back end of our bullpen." Moore said his fastball is in the 88-92 mph range. Kansas City plans to be more aggressive internationally. "Hopefully, we will be more successful," Moore said. "When I was with the Braves and doing international work, you want to sign somebody who makes sense for your team and helps you win. But it's a passion and a goal to get involved with the (Japanese) market. The players that play in Asia are very skilled baseball players, very talented. We all witnessed that when they won the World Baseball Classic. They're very fundamentally sound baseball players. We want to be very competitive in every talent pool that exists. This is certainly one of the better talent pools out there."

Of course it's at Texas Stadium. BRETT FAVRE Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre, 0-8 there, remembers the past well against Cowboys teams that won three titles in four seasons.

Simpson stood before a judge Wednesday and firmly spoke a phrase he has uttered in other courtrooms in the past: "Not guilty." Simpson pleads not guilty to kidnapping to stand trial with co-defendents April 7 This time the former football star was arraigned, along with two other men, on suspicion of kidnapping and armed robbery of sports memorabilia dealers in a strange case that has ballooned to 12 charges that could send Simpson and the others to prison for life. ASSOCIATED PRESS Simpson's notority, gained from past trials on charges of murder and road rage, looms in the background of the Las Vegas episode. His lawyer said jury selection would be an "onerous" task that would probably last longer than the trial itself. Ehrlich's lawyer, John Moran Jr., said he would challenge the most recent charging document as vague and a list of potential witnesses as violating his client's Fifth Amendment rights. "I am very concerned that we get 12 people on the jury that can listen to the evidence that occurs in the courtroom," attorney Yale Galanter said on the courthouse steps. "People are going to have opinions." Simpson's co-defendants, Charles "Charlie" Ehrlich, 53, and Clarence "C.J." Stewart, 53, also entered not guilty pleas, and Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass set trial for all three men on April 7. District Attorney David Roger listed 78 potential witnesses, including Ehrlich and Stewart, an odd choice since prosecutors may not compel defendants to testify. Moran said it would be impermissible for the prosecutor to call them "if this tortured process does proceed to trial." ASSOCIATED PRESS Glass appeared impatient with Moran's argument and said she would consider written motions when they are filed. She moved quickly through the arraignments, requiring Simpson and the others to state their ages, education and that they could understand English. JOHN HARRIS Simpson appeared relaxed and cheerful before court convened, chatting with his lawyers and a few friends in the courtroom. He did not comment about the case and confined his remarks to small talk. "Mr. Simpson is glad that the arraignment is over with. He's glad that he doesn't have to come back to Vegas until April," Galanter said. O. J. Simpson sits in a courtroom his arrangement in Las Vegas. Nov. 28. Simpson pleaded not to guilty in charges of kidnapping and armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers. While the lawyer said he would be pleased to have the case resolved without a trial, he said that seemed unlikely unless prosecutors dismissed all charges. A plea bargain, he suggested, was not on the table. "I don't know what my client did wrong," Galanter said. "And that's why it would be difficult for us to enter into any kind of a plea agreement. It wasn't a trespass because he was invited into the room. It wasn't a robbery because it wasn't the unlawful taking of someone else's property." The prosecutor declined to comment outside court. Simpson landed in court after leading an odd raiding party in a Sept. 13 hotel room confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers to take collectibles and family heirlooms he claimed were his. Simpson, 60, of Miami, has maintained that he intended only to retrieve items that had been stolen from him by a former agent, including photographs, football awards and the suit he wore the day he was acquitted of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Prosecutors allege the heist netted tens of thousands of dollars of sports collectibles that didn't belong to Simpson. At a colorful preliminary hearing two weeks ago, there were accounts of an angry scene inside the Palace Station casino hotel room during which a cursing Simpson loudly demanded his possessions. Threats were made and guns allegedly were drawn by two men originally charged in the case. Those men and another cohort were given plea bargains with the possibility of probation in return for their testimony against Simpson, Ehrlich and Stewart.

Police had no description of a possible suspect and were investigating whether the shooting was connected to a break-in at Taylor's home eight days earlier, in which police said someone pried open a front window, rifled through drawers and left a kitchen knife on a bed. "They're going to be looking at every angle," Miami-Dade Police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said. "They're going to be looking at every lead." Authorities from Miami-Dade Police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were in and out of Taylor's home throughout the day. Police were seen taking a computer from Taylor's home. A stream of family and friends arrived throughout the day, including his father, Florida City police chief Pedro Taylor. Some embraced outside; most came and went without speaking to a group of several dozen reporters. Outside Pedro Taylor's home in suburban Miami-Dade County, the front lawn was filled with friends and family members who seemed to be in good spirits. Small children ran through the yard. Several people brought large platters of food into the house. When he arrived home, he was met with embrace after embrace by friends and family members. "We're all hurting" Taylor said. "I mean that's my child." Taylor spoke privately with Miami-Dade homicide detectives and expressed confidence in the police investigation, but couldn't provide additional information. Speaking of the killer, Taylor said: "I think one day he'll come to grips with himself and say, 'You know what, it was senseless' and 'he'll turn him in.'" The elder Taylor said he last saw his son a few weeks ago at a football game in Washington. "We had a wonderful time," he said. "We laughed and joked and stayed up until 3 o'clock in the morning. We did what fathers and dads do and brothers and sisters, we just enjoyed each other." According to The Miami Herald, Garcia arrived at the home of Taylor's father with her daughter but declined to speak with reporters. Back in Virginia, the Redskins struggled to cope and share their loss. "I have never dealt with this," Gibbs said. "We're going one hour at a time here." Gibbs said he planned to have the team practice as scheduled Wednesday, following a prayer service, in preparation for Sunday's home game against the Buffalo Bills. Snyder said the Redskins will honor Taylor by wearing a patch on their jerseys and the No. 21 on their helmets. The league is expected to decide Wednesday how it will handle tributes to Taylor at this weekend's games. There is little precedence on how to go forward, although several teams have dealt with tragedy in recent years. STATESMAN Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was killed in a drive-by shooting on New Year's Day, the day after the season ended in a playoff loss, and teammate Damien Nash — a running back — collapsed and died after a charity basketball game held organized in February.

Transportation provided only on select shift(s). *Program guidelines apply. Equal Opportunity Employer Taylor had a great smile and a menacing sneer. He was extremely talented — fast and powerful — and genuinely had a chance to become one of the best safeties ever to play in the NFL. "What got cut short here was a career that was going to go to a lot of Pro Bowls and have a lot of fun," Gibbs said. San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Thomas Herrion died of a heart attack after a preseason game in September 2005. Minnesota Vikings tackle Toby Stringer died of heatstroke at a training camp practice in 2001. Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jerome McDougay was shot in the stomach by three armed robbers in southwest Miami in July 2005 and missed the following season. Taylor was having the best season of his career on the field and had stayed out of trouble off the field since the birth of his daughter, Jackie, in May 2006. He was becoming a leader, and his teammates had elected him to the players' committee that meets regularly with Gibbs. Gibbs, Taylor's family and his teammates, past and present, did their best to describe a player very few got to know. "I saw a real maturing process," Gibbs said. He wasn't the only one to notice changes in Taylor after his daughter's birth. A "VERA" HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Vera Bradley Stitch On Needlework Shop 926 Massachusetts Come in today & see our wide bag selection! 785-842-1101 He had a drunken driving charge that was later dismissed. He skipped part of the NFLs mandatory rookie symposium. He fired two agents. He didn't like his contract. He refused to return Gibbs' calls during the offseason. And he was fined at least seven times for late hits, uniform violations and other on-field infractions. Still, Taylor, drafted No. 5 overall by the Redskins in April 2004, got off to a rocky start in the NFL. "You can't be scared of death," he told the radio station. "When that time comes, it comes ... You never see a person who has lived their life to the fullest. They sometimes feel sorry for like a child, maybe, that didn't get a chance to do some of the things they thought that child might have had a chance to do in life. I've been blessed. God's looked out for me, so I'm happy." "He was kind of a wild child, like myself", said New York Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey, who played with Taylor at the University of Miami and worked out with him in the offseason. "But life changed for Sean after he had his baby girl. Fatherhood really changed him. He grew up and matured." Private and slow to trust anyone, Taylor rarely granted interviews. During his last known full-length interview, conducted with WTEM-AM in September, he spoke of the heat he felt when he made his daughter laugh, how he wanted to give her life experiences different from his own, and how he did not fear death. In 2005, he was accused of pointing a gun during a fight over all-terrain vehicles near his Miami home, a legal battle that ended a year later when he pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to probation. Stitch On Needlework Shop Recently, Taylor indeed was starting to make his past seem irrelevant. The baby helped him gain perspective, and other changes were making him a better football player. This season, Taylor improved his diet and workout regimen and was given a new role. Instead of playing a hybrid safety position, he was a true free safety. He used speed and power to chase passes and intimidate receivers. His five interceptions tie for the lead in the NFC, even though he missed the last two games because of a sprained knee. "You think back to how much heat he took for everything," running back Clinton Portis said. "For missing camp, for not being around for this or that, for missing the rookie symposium. You come to the realization that all of that means nothing."

A four-and-a-half star recipe from allrecipes.com says the two main ingredients in eggplant are six eggs and a quart of milk. If dishing up Rocky Balboa's favorite workout drink to your guest isn't gross enough, imagine gulping some down after it's been sitting in the punch bowl all night. No wonder people started adding alcohol. Mincemeat pie is another highly rated holiday tradition on the Allrecipes Web site, which is apparently where taste buds go to die. It calls for cooked beef, chopped apples, raisins, pickle juice, pineapple juice and an orange all to be stuffed into a steaming pile of pie. Yummy. Then comes the shining star atop the Christmas tree of holiday foods: the fruitcake. According to Peggy Trowbridge Flippone at about.com, an ingredient that is commonly substituted for dried fruit is citron, a pretty name for the rinds or peels of citrus fruits. So, basically the parts of the orange and lemon that everyone throws away are baked right into a big leaf along with nuts and raisins. This just goes to show that sometimes a bad reputation is rightly deserved. So, if you'd rather spend the holidays with your family instead of barfing in the bathroom, this year might be a good time to break tradition. Jared Duncan --- goodforyou/badforyou PAWS OFF YOUR PIMPLES As you prep to put your best face forward at holiday get-togethers, you may be tempted to lean toward the mirror, take aim and pinch any pisy pins peppering your skin. "People experience a psychological satisfaction in popping their pimples," says Nanette Liegeois, assistant professor of dermatology at John Hopkins University. But though it's rewarding to show that pinkish protusion who's boss, a no-popping policy is best if you're looking to perfect your skin for the long term. "You do get a little relief on the skin at first," Liegeois says. "But about two to three weeks later, the scar tissue you've created plug up the pores underneath it and the cycle starts all over again." The poppin' process is also unsanitary. Liegeois says your fingers or the tools you use to pop a pup can easily insert bacteria into your skin that cause more pimples. So, to cure the pimples you have and prevent future ones, Liegeois recommends skincare products like Meridian (www.skinbymeridian.com), which hydrate skin rather than drying it out. But no matter what regimen you choose, Liegeois says to choose one that's easy to stick to, because the key to great skin is a consistent routine. VERDICT - BAD FOR YOU Every Thursday...

SUA features 11. 29.07 = JAYPLAY AN KRIS KRINGLE QUAGMIRES contact The difficulties of giving gifts to the opposite sex and how to get around them Jewelry has always been a fallback for men looking for a holiday gift for that special woman. By Patrick Griffith I scanned every aisle within a 20-foot radius to make sure nobody would see me. The last thing I needed was for people to know about this. I stared at it for 15 minutes before I finally picked it up to check out. The instant I picked it up I felt the tingling sensation of disgrace and embarrassment all over my body. As I approached the Target checkout with the contraband hidden in a way that might lead some to think I was stealing it, I prepared for the shame. I told the checkout lady it wasn't for me. She laughed. To this day I don't know if she believed me. With a stealthy dash, I was out of there, just short of making a scene. ALL PHOTOS BY LISA LIPOVAC I had to buy a gift for my mother, and because she had been disappointed with every previous gift, she made a specific request: Awake by Josh Groban. But this embarrassment doesn't have to happen to all men. You can buy a gift for that woman in your life, or that booty-call that you have on speed dial #2 after Rudy's Pizzeria. And you can do it without ever coming in contact with Josh Groban, Kenny G, or ever setting foot in Bed, Bath and Beyond. It's not hard, either. Nor is it hard for women to buy that meaningful gift for a guy who is difficult to shop for. There are a few simple tips that go both ways. Gift-giving isn't a product of modern times. It dates back to ancient Rome, where gifts were given around the New Year with the hopes of bringing a more enjoyable year with it. Gift-giving saw a resurgence in Victorian England where gifts were a means of expressing simple appreciation. The tradition made its way west to America with one new twist: the introduction of Santa Claus. We've come a long way from giving gifts for a more spectacular harvest to epic duels in Wal-Mart over the last Furby or Malibu Barbie. Robyn Freedman Spizman, Rolling Stone For men, sometimes a good beer is all they want for Christmas. Gift-giving becomes more difficult as you get older, Spizman says. When you're young, you have a list, and it makes shopping easy, but as you get older, people don't ask for specific things. It's up to you to put in the effort to find a good gift, she says. author of The Giftionary: An A-Z Reference Guide for Solving Your Gift-Giving Dilemmas..Forever, says that when it comes to buying gifts, men feel as though they're gift-impaired, but both sexes can sometimes be hard to please. Many students have difficulties giving gifts, but they also have simple ways of getting around it. Giving gifts also helps you get to know people, and it reflects how much attention you're paying, Spizman says. A good gift-giver is really paying attention. Rona Frey, Dodge City sophomore, thinks women are easier to buy for because there are stereotypical things to get women (i.e. flowers and jewelry), but there aren't stereotypical gifts to give men. A lot of times she plans well in advance, listens and puts ideas in the back of her mind to avoid "Anyone is hard to buy for if you don't know anything about them," she says. She also has simple advice to the man with the gift to give but no gift in mind; just think about what the girl like she. She doesn't think guys ask women what they want enough. Men aren't confident about what they're going to choose; they have an idea and they just need a second opinion. Frey says. future troublesome gift-giving situations. Ashley DeSandre, Pocono Lake, Penn, freshman, also believes it's more difficult for women to shop for men because there is no textbook gift on men for women to fall back on. When shopping for a guy, she'll ask the people who know what he wants more than he does; his mother and/or sisters. She says she can get a better idea of what he actually needs from them. DeSandre also has a few simple tips for the gift-impaired men reading this: be thoughtful and don't be too typical. Think about what she's interested in, and try your best to match that. Mike Pinnell, Wichita senior, says buying gifts for women is difficult because sometimes those gifts will become overanalyzed. He tries to guess how they're going to think about the gift, and says you need to get a gift that can't be construed in any strange way. it's harder to buy for his mom because he doesn't know what the hell she wants, he says. Pinnell also says that men are easier to buy for. He remembers a great gift a girl recently gave him Valentine's Day last year. He got two six-packs of good beer, chocolate chip cookies and funny, heart-covered underwear. "It was perfect. How do you beat all that?" Pinnell asks. GIFT-GIVING TIPS FROM ROBYN FREEDMAN SPIZMAN 1. ) Pay attention. For guys, buying a scarf to match a girl's eyes or buying a piece from a brand a girl often carries shows that you're really paying attention. 2. ) When it comes to your mom, she just wants to know that you love her, so show her. 3. ) You should not to leave your gift-giving dilemmas to the last minute. You need to do a little homework now. 4. ) Be creative and think of something different. You can alter the presentation of the gift to show your creativity, and it will also show how much you care. He also employs a simple process to shopping for women. Step one: Ask people that are friends with the girl in question. Step two: if step one fails to yield satisfactory results, then troll around Massachusetts Street to see if something catches your eye and hope you'll get lucky. Brooke Stebbins, Silver Lake freshman, says she doesn't have the same trouble shopping for men that some men have shopping for women. "I don't think guys are that picky," she says. If you had a high-maintenance guy it could be hard, but her brother can't even match his own clothes, so that makes it easy. You have to think about it first, and put yourself in her shoes, Pinnell says, "because you don't want to get anything that will get you into trouble." Stebbins also has a method for shopping that is simpler than Pinnell's. She usually just asks them what they want, and if they don't say anything, she just guesses. So if you just pay attention, do a little pre-emptive planning, and have the intention to show that you care, gift-giving isn't too tricky. But if not, you'll probably be at Target on Dec. 24 with all the other helpless gift-givers trying desperately to find Celine Dion Live in Las Vegas. nt and came put on the year. ors and we night, so this compe- overall and old be used even South, and another stage, but freshman, face with a single, "No one singing urch.

It's all in there. Eric Jorgensen, Kansan Managing Editor My most memorable holiday moment is also one of my more questionable decisions as a legal adult. Two years ago, I was at a formal Christmas party with friends, enjoying the Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra renditions of various holiday songs. I had lost track of time, and the ability to rationalize, when my friend Jon said, "Let's go Christmas caroling!" Of course it’s a good idea to carol at 1 a.m. after buckets of egg nog and lots of Bud Light, so I threw on my coat and led the charge to our first house just down the road. What happened next made me wish I was wearing a bullet-proof vest, yet at the same time carrying a video camera. With no regard for privacy or sound ordinances, Jon banged on the front door of the first house, in the style of, say, the police. Not "knock, knock," but "bang, bang." After 10 seconds, Jon realized the door was open. Naturally, he went in. The rest of us peeked around the corner into the living room—there was no one downstairs. What made me a little curious after I realized I wasn't going to have my ibrs kicked in, was that I noticed the crowd was composed of all couples. Ten men, ten women all walking in pairs. In essence, four guys slurring old Christmas songs, dressed in cheesy reindeer sweaters, may have broken up a drug-induced orgy in the middle of the freezing night. And that is my Christmas story. "Hey, get down here!" Jon yelled. It was at this point that he took a chair out of their living room and onto the front lawn so he could stand on it and conduct us as we sang. For about a minute no one came outside. Then, all at once, about 20 people exited and stood in front of us four carolers, looking like they were expecting to see the D.E.A. or someone else with handcuffs. I instantly feared for my life as they started yelling over our singing of "We wish you a Merry Christmas." Long story short, no fists were thrown, but there were a lot of people telling me, "Not cool, dude." Brenna Hawley, Jayplay designer Every holiday season since I was five years old, I have gone to The Nutracker in Kansas City, Mo. Sometimes my dad would come, sometimes it was just my mom and me, and a few times my boyfriend came. No matter what was happening in my life this show was a welcome escape from any problems or stress. Pterl yichl Tenkaiokky wrote "The Nutcracker Suite" in 1892 it is a story of a girl named Clara. Her family throws a party at her house, and her mysterious godfather, Herr Drosselmeyer, gives her a nutcracker. Out of jealousy, her little brother breaks the toy, Drosselemeyer mends the toy, but Clara sneaks out of bed to visit him. She slips into a dream and the nutcracker comes to life. In a battle with human-sized mice, the nutcracker prevails and turns into a prince. Clara becomes his princess and travels with him to the Land of the Sweets. Here she sees dances by the Snow Queen, the Sugar Plum Fair, the Arabian coffee dancers, the buffoons and many others. The show has become very familiar to me because I have gone every December.

SUA features 11. 29.07 = JAYPLAY Bryan Marvin, Jayplay designer Back when my family was smaller—only ten or so cousins as opposed to the 25 or so of today—my grandma used to have all of us over to her house on Dec. 23 to decorate dozens upon dozens of cookies for the Christmas Eve Extravaganza that she hosts. The older children would go over earlier to help cut and bake them. I remember what it was like to be too young to help with the baking; I'd finally get dropped off and there would be dozens of cooling racks covered in piping-hot sugar cookies. That was when the fun started. There were bags of sprinkles and tubs of icing in all the colors of the rainbow. Sugar-cookie men became Santa, Batman and Spiderman. Less-talented, or rather younger, children preferred to stop on as much cicing as possible, topped off with handfills of sprinkles. It was a madhouse; when the sprinkles settled you were a lucky person to not have copious amounts of toppings in your hair and on your clothes. On Christmas Eve, our parents would praise us for our creativity even as they cringed from all the sugar and tried to figure out how to deal with ten sugared-out miniature snot-nosed kids. Some were limited to only one cookie, while others gorged themselves and were too stuffed to be hyper. The problem with making that many cookies, however, is that the Christmas Eve cookies quickly became New Year's Eve cookies, then eventually Easter paperweights. Dani Hurst, Jayplay associate editor I'm Jewish, but some of my favorite and most vivid holiday memories have nothing to do with Hanukkah. Sure, we gussied up our house—my favorite decoration was the add-a-flamage-a-day menorah window decal—and spun deirdels, an chocolate Hanukkah coins and opened presents, but the stories I tell year after year center around my inability to fully function in a predominantly Christmas-y setting. I've never actually ruined Christmas for anyone, but I've come dangerously close. Most of my holiday memories deal with Christmas mishaps, which almost always occur because of my limited experience with Christmas traditions. feature 09 For instance, just last year I was helping a friend set up her family's artificial Christmas tree. We made piles for each set of brooches and attached them to the central pole. My friend and I were on. But minor accidents like that don't compare to my ultimate Christmas catastrophe. I was in middle school, and my friend and I were fencing with candy canes. We were locked in eternal battle opposite sides of the tree, putting the branches in their corresponding holes to make sure the tree wouldn't topple over. After many pricked fingers, the task was complete. I was so proud, because despite my lack of experience, I had successfully aided in the erection of my first Christmas tree. Everything was great until my friend's dad, who had been taking pictures to document our progress, pointed out later that my side of the tree was, in fact, completely lopsided, and close to falling over. I offered to help them fix it, but they opted to leave it as a testament to my Christmas cluelessness. until I jabbed at her, breaking the stalemate and sending her reeling backward. I felt triumphant. I was still celebrating when I realized that as she had fallen backward, she had tripped on most of the presents that were under the tree and crashed into their huge, already fully decorated tree. Presents were ruined, ornaments—some as old as we were—lay shattered on the floor, and the angel had flown off the top of the tree as it had toppled over. I was asked to leave immediately. I can still hear the screams at night. To make up for the lack of Hanukkah content, I'm including a recipe that my mom used to cook for us on Hanukkah mornings.

I was thirteen years old, at the height of adolescent awkwardness, and desperate to fit in with my peers. On the day of the seventh grade ice skating field trip, I did far less blending than falling, scraping and, yes, crying. From the moment I stepped onto the slippery ice, I was either on my knees or clinging to the edge of the rink, using my arms rather than my legs to propel me around the rink. My more experienced peers zoomed by me, the girls I longed to be friends with held hands and laughed, and I thought to myself, "This is just another thing I can't do." The following day I nursed my knees and babied my pride, feeling sorry for myself. I avoided the rink successfully for years, until last Christmas. My family was visiting my hometown, and some aunt or uncle had the bright idea to have everyone—that is, my dad's six brothers and sisters and all of their children—go ice skating together. My sister and I looked at each other and exchanged an eye anmoan. She had never mastered skating, either. But as I sat in the cool lobby of the rink, lacing up my skates and pulling on my jacket, I noticed an unfamiliar feeling: confidence. I've never been a particularly athletic person, and I have countless embarrassing memories tied to dodge ball or running or tennis—but all of a sudden, I felt ready. I could do this. With some advice from my dad ("Don't look down all the time!" "Push your feet out diagonally!) and a few laps around the rink securely attached to the edge, I slowly got the hang of it. As I pushed my blades into the ice and tried my best to hold my head high, I laughed at my younger self: ice skating was as much about believing you could do it as was about any actual skill. I didn't fall once that day, and I eventually let go of the side and held my dad's hand. And this year, I can't wait to make it back on a rink. Looking to skate this season?

Symptoms usually pop up in November and fade away by late February. Whitney Bashaw sits at a table in the Underground, flipping through the pages of her geology book. Studying has become a difficult task for Bashaw. She says her energy level is decreasing and she feels like she is in a rut. "Things are kind of slow right now and I feel like my mood has done a roundabout since school started," says Bashaw, Shawnee junior., "Even fun things like movies or shopping seem kind of boring to me." Bashaw says the mood swings she goes through have occurred the past few years and typically come after Halloween and last until late February. PHOTO BY SARAH LEONARC The wintry woes Bashaw and millions of other Americans experience may be symptoms of a mild form of depression known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of seasonal affective disorder include depression, hopelessness, social withdrawal, weight gain, difficulty concentrating and loss of energy, among others. SAD is a cyclic condition, which means symptoms begin to appear around the same time each year. The Mayo Clinic says that seasonal affective disorder generally begins in young adulthood and that studies show women are diagnosed more often than men, but men have more severe symptoms. You may identify the side effects of the semester's end as an all-too-common low point of the year, but your holiday ho-mums could easily be the onset, or progression, of seasonal affective disorder. Norman Rosenthal, professor in the psychiatry department at Georgetown University and a practicing psychiatrist who works with patients with SAD, says the time to seek assistance is when everything seems to be go wrong in your life. His book, Winter Blues, discusses the common misconceptions of seasonal affective disorder and how to turn your abominable winter into a joyful season. The National Organization for SAD says Rosenthal was the first researcher to look into the condition. He also named it. Rosenthal says in his studies most people don't acknowledge the condition and take action to treat it. What people believe is an emotional, mental and physical funk is actually more severe than they think. Rosenthal says various environments and family history may be the culprits for most cases of SAD. Living thousands of miles north of the equator or having a SAD-diagnosed relative may not be the only indicator in your depressive mood. There is also evidence that a physiological THE BEST WAYS TO COPE WITH SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER Although it's impossible to prevent seasonal affective disorder, you can alter some aspects of your lifestyle to easily cope with the effects of the condition: Maintain your treatment plan. Take all your medicine and attend all of your therapy sessions. take in as much nature as you can. Start an exercise regimen. Exercising helps relieve stress and fights anxiety. Having an all-around workout of cardio and fitness training can also increase energy and lighten your mood. Make your living space brighter with more windows and less sun blockage. Enjoy the outdoors. If the weather is nice, go outside and phenomenon might also play a role in SAD diagnosis. Socialize. A good way to boost energy and mood is to stay in contact with your friends and relatives. They offer you support when you don't feel well or they can act as comic relief. organized and budget your time. Be healthy. Take enough time to sleep and relax and eat well balanced meals. Don't resort to alcohol or drugs as a means to relax. Jay C. Dunlap, professor and chair of genetics at Dartmouth College, researches and studies the circadian rhythm, which is essentially the biological clock found in all organisms. The 24-hour cycle influences seasonal affective disorder diagnosis, Dunlap says. Take a trip. If you can, go on a winter adventure to somewhere sunny and warm and let all your cares float away with the tide! "It's going to be kind of hard," Bashaw says, "but this is something that I think a lot of people overcome, and hopefully I can, too." hopes of coping with the effects of her altered mood, although she says sticking to her new regimen is difficult, especially with lurking finals. Manage your stress. Be The earth's light-darkcycleand a specific region's temperature spectrum can affect the normal circadian rhythm of any person. Dunlap adds that a change in the circadian rhythm does not entirely affect a person's routine and cause seasonal affective disorder, but he does acknowledge a common bond. "The connection isn't clear, but the two are definitely related." he says. Source:www.mayoclinic.com The Mayo Clinic lists multiple ways to treat the condition. In order to fight the changes in your circadian rhythm, you could take sleep aids and antidepressants such as Ambien or Paxil, respectively. Even changing your diet and managing your stress levels can reduce the effects of seasonal affective disorder. If your condition is extremely severe, light therapy and psychotherapy can be the answer. Light therapy is a procedure that uses synthetic light to reproduce natural light that isn't as abundant during the winter as it is in the summer. Bashaw recently began a health diet and sleep routine in VARIATIONS ON SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER SAD isn't the only condition that the weather affects. Here are some variations of the disorder: Reverse SAD Spring and summer SAD There are many similarities in the symptoms of regular SAD, although there are striking differences in eating habits and sexual behavior. Symptoms include: Anxiety Insomnia Irritability Agitation Weight loss Poor appetite increased sex dri Reverse SAD is a condition of mania, a mental condition that includes an elevated mood, increased energy and unusual thought patterns, and is completely opposite of the depression-like symptoms of SAD.

What started as a gig in his high school's student council has carried over into his job during college at Wacky Banana, a kids' party center in Lenexa. TO PLAY SANTA As a film studies major, and someone who shows up in many a KU theater production, Carey says he relishes the challenge to stay in character, even when the kids often unintentionally push him to his limit. "It's kind of hard when they say such silly things. If I do have to laugh at something they say, I just make sure I do it in my Santa laugh." This sort of performance is markedly this sort of performance is more different than other acting he has done, Carey says, because he is playing someone that all the kids already feel a connection with. "It's weird because you're donning a persona that every kid thinks they know, but you've never seen these kids in your life. There's really a look of familiar." While he doesn't have a gig lined up yet for this holiday season, Carey says he'd gladly step into the red suit and beard when called upon.

It's hard to resist the holiday shopping season, especially if you have something you desperately want to buy. It's a natural tendency to spend more money than usual while holiday shopping because there are so many of sales and items to choose from. Shopping can be fun, but often times it can drain your bank account if you aren't a smart shopper. These little tips should help you become a much smarter shopper for the upcoming holiday season. 1. Research and plan ahead Research is vital for optimal shopping success, says Linsey Shupe, who worked as a professional shopper and gift-buyer. Take advantage of advertisements that you might normally ignore. Also, compare prices of your favorite items on the Web to be sure you get the best deal. It is wise to make a list of must-haves, Shupe says. Balance your budget after making this list, then if you have a little extra money you can spend, make a "might-have" list of items you would like to have, but do not need. Researching is important because you will be able to get the best out of what you want, even if it takes some time. Kevin Perkins, Dallas senior, spent two hours on the internet last November to find the most reasonably priced digital camera. He says he was happy with his decision because he knew he made the right one, especially after putting his energy into researching. "Retailers will mix regular-priced items, or even over-priced items among the bargains. Shoppers tend to be riding high on the adrenaline of a good buy and can fall victim to an unwise purchase," Shupe says. 2. Take advantage of online shopping Since Sam Warwick, Lawrence sophomore, learned about online shopping when he was a senior in high school, he's done more shopping online than online. He says driving 30 minutes to a crowded mall isn't really time-efficient. Warwick points out that online shopping is quicker, cheaper and easier. For example, he bought a new DVD player for 50 dollars cheaper than if he had bought the same DVD There are many ways to get good deals online. Web sites such as www.couponsshare.com provide many coupon codes that can save some money, says Annette Yedidiah, author of Best of the Web: A No-Fluff Guide. Online shopping malls usually provide many benefits if you join their mailing list or newsletter. Also, online coupon codes can save incredible amounts of money, Yedidiah says. "A click of the mouse is easier than running. And more times not than they have the size and color of whatever I am looking for," Yedidiah says. Holidays are a prime time for thieves to get in on a piece of the action. Credit card fraud usually increases this time of the year, says Emmet Smith, who owns an online shopping mall, www.ewebproducts.com, and is also a member of the American Marketing Association. Smith provides consumers with a detailed explanation of how to avoid even the most cunning fraud. 3. Beware of credit card fraud The typical scam works like this: The person calling says, "This is John Doe, and I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My badge number is 12460. Your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by (name of bank).Did ONLINE SHOPPING TIPS you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a Marketing company based in Arizona?" When you say "no." The caller continues with, "Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that flags most 1. Check out the seller. If you're thinking about shopping on a Web site that you're not familiar with, call theeller's phone number or type the site's name into a search engine and look for reviews. Also, read the site's privacy policy to learn how it uses and shares your personal information. 3. Keep a paper trail. 2. Know what you're getting. Read the seller's product description closely. Name-brand items at greatly reduced prices could be counterfeit. 3. Keep a paper trail. Print and save records of your online transactions, including the product description and price, the online receipt, and copies of any e-mails you exchange with the seller. 4. Know the full price and check out incentives. If you're looking for the best deal, compare total costs, including shipping and handling. The holiday season is a prime time for online retailers, and many are offering incentives like free shipping.

When you say "yes," they will continue to act like employees from the card company and eventually will ask you to give them their ultimate goal: security numbers, which are the last three numbers on the back of your card. People easily fall into this trap because they provide all of your personal information except whatthey want the most from you. Smith says "Never give anyone who calls you your credit card security number, Instead, inform the caller that you will be calling the credit card company directly to verify the credit card activity or better yet, realize you are talking to a criminal and just hang up. Then call the credit card company," Smith says. So, make sure to hold your wallet or purse tightly and don't ever give others your personal information, especially during the holiday season. ht ends and came ing put on the this year. vators and we mic night, so in this compe- and overall and could be used cooklyn, N.Y., at coordinator. ibout bringing time. pen mic night, o attract more was a chance to b the residence d Seven South, er and another the stage, but stan freshman, place with a west single, "No been singing on church.

THE HIYES The Hives have always been more about style than substance and *The Black and White Album* is no different. "Tick Tick Boom" picks up right where the band left off with layers of vocals that give the song an added punch. The second song, "Try It Again" contains the same swapper fans have come to expect, especially when Howlin' Pelle Almquist confidently declares, "They say the definition of madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result." But after that, The Black And White While production duties were split between The Hives, Pharell Williams and Dennis Herring, the more experimental songs such as "Puppet on a String," "A Stroll Through Hive Manor," and "Giddy Upl" were actually produced by The Hives. While these songs will easily be the most divisive amongst fans, at least they are engaging and entertaining, if only for their strangeness and as the break they provide in the album's frenetic pace. In all, *The Black And White Album* is a solid addition to the Hives' catalog, adding another handful of efficient, catchy rock songs to the band's ever-growing collection of efficient, catchy rock songs.

The Mist therefore positioned Darabant to reclaim his spot as one of the most talented filmmakers of the classic school. He's only made three major movies.two of which were Stephen King adaptations (The Shawshank Redemption and The THE MIST around seems to make sense, especially since those first two films are sterling examples of classical Hollywood filmmaking. However, The Mist joins the ranks of most King adaptations; inane, stodgy and mean. and mean. The titular mist descends upon a small town after a storm sends citizens in for supplies. Commercial artist and family man David Drayton (Thomas Jane) takes his son with him to a grocery store where the local crisis allows him to ease tensions with his neighbor. A man comes running to the store with his face bloodied, claiming there was something in the mist. Soon everybody is trapped, afraid to venture out. The situation is not helped by the creatures that occupy the fog and begin to assault the building. Soon, a religious fanatic (Marcia Gay Harden) has people all wound up and turning against each other. up and coming again. I can imagine director Darabant talking about how his film taps into today's many political strains and that it should be viewed as an allegory for these modern times (the parallel with Exodus doesn't help either), but the results fall flat because of wooden characters, a turig plotline and an ending that debases whatever good qualities the movie had. Yes, it offers some scares and thrills, but on the whole this is not the picture a gifted artist like Darabant could have made.

Barbie's long locks are always very tempting, but I never gave in because, despite my young age, I knew Barbie's hair would never grow back. I didn't muster the courage to take scissors to hair and chop away until I was in high school. I started with my bangs. Cutting at a downward angle. I shaped my long bangs into a flirty slant. That slant had me hooked. Once I masted creaking bangs, I moved on to my friend Becky. After hearing her complain for days about her hair needing a cut I convinced her that a trim was as easy as baking a cake, and that I—a high school freshman—knew how to do it. She came over to my house that Friday night and I dug up my nicest pair of scissors: pink with a rounded tip. We sat in my bedroom with the door closed. I didn't tell my mom what we were doing for fear that she would "hair block" me. Forty-five minutes later I felt liberated and energized. I was proud of my new-found skill. Becky examined her shoulder-length tim with a mirror for a few minutes before giving me an expressionless nod. Her aunt—a licensed cosmetologist—fixed her hair two days later. Until the sixth grade, I sported long, thin, straight, white-blonde hair. Then my mother agreed to let me become a big girl and took me to the salon to get a layered cut. I walked out of the salon, climbed into my mom's car and proudly announced with a cheesy grin that I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. "That's great honey! What do you want to be?" As I sat in the stylist's chair, I couldn't imagine a better job—fun atmosphere, constantly talking with people and playing with hair all day. What more could a girl ask for? "I want to be a hairdresser!" I said excitedly. A short pause and my mom's faded expression led me to question her reaction. "Oh, honey. You can be anything you want to be... exceet a hairdresser." Confused and concerned for my future, I questioned my mother. Her high aspirations for me included college and choosing a career more My freshman year of college opened the door to opportunities I hadn't imagined. I decided I wanted to be a journalist and dropped the idea of being a hairdresser. Even though I enjoy learning about reporting and editing the questions to ask, how to write news and feature stories), I found myself crumbling under the pressure when it came down to actually working for a publication. The tasks I had once enjoyed soon became a chore. My dislike for the job showed in my work. I didn't have the passion to be a journalist. I never would have In the beginning of my senior year I started searching for another career path. Stumped on where to go, I sought made it. drienne Bommarito the advice of an instructor who told me to think of things that I loved. Doing hair was the only idea I could conjure. Informing my parents of my new goal was the next step. I told my parents wasn't happy with journalism, I didn't want to be a reporter or an editor and I was thinking about going to cosmetology school. I could read the confusion in my dad's face before he even opened his mouth. "What's cosmetology school? Like, to do hair? You want to do hair?" he asked. I started researching cosmetology schools. I visited the Aveda Institute in Houston and the Toni and Guy Hairdressing Academy in Dallas. I had a terrible experience at the Toni and Guy Hairdressing Academy which made my decision very easy. I chose the Aveda Institute with hopes of beginning classes in September 2008. ILLUSTRATION/ LEAH HOELSCHER My stepmom's reaction was more soothing.She explained to my dad that I had been thinking about going to cosmetology school for years now, so maybe it was something to consider. To further back my decision,I applied for a receptionist job at an Avenida-concept salon and spa here in Lawrence. LADA Salon and Spa hired me six months ago. In those six months I have familiarized myself with the products and the organization of the Avenida Corporation. A year has passed since I brought up the idea of attending cosmetology school. Since then, my parents and I have had numerous phone arguments about the situation and I have repeatedly received notices from them about available reporting jobs. My parents couldn't digest why I didn't enjoy journalism. In their view, I was a great writer with high ambition. They didn't understand that my hard work was a burden, not a pleasure. Since I took the job at LADA Salon and Spa, my parents have realized my dedication to this career path, along with the enjoyment I get out of working in that atmosphere. I graduate this December and hope to attend the Aveda Institute in Houston. Slowly my parents have grasped that I'm serious about cosmetology.

His voice cracked and was barely audible. Next to him sat coach Gibbs, barely more composed. Safety Sean Taylor's violent death had left his team in tears and the NFL in mourning. "This is a terrible, terrible tragedy." Snyder said. Taylor died early Tuesday of a gunshot wound from an apparent intruder, a tragic end for a 24-year-old man whose life was transformed by the birth of a daughter 18 months ago. "We're going to miss him," Gibbs said. "I'm not talking about as a player. I'm talking about as a person." A day earlier, Taylor and his girlfriend were awakened by loud noises, according to family friend Richard Sharpstein, who learned the details from Taylor's girlfriend, Jackie Garcia. He said Taylor grabbed a machete he keeps in the bedroom for the bedroom for protection. Someone then broke through the bedroom door and fired two shots one missing and one hitting Taylor Sharpstein said Neither Taylor daughter, Jackie nor Taylor's girl friend were injured in the attack. did not know why Taylor returned to Miami during the weekend. Taylor was not required to accompany the team to Sunday's game at Tampa Bay because of a knee injury. "We're going to miss him. I'm not talking about as a player.I'm talking about as a person." The bullet damaged the femoral artery in Taylor's leg, causing significant blood loss. Taylor never regained consciousness, Sharpstein said. Redskins coach Joe Gibbs said he JOE GIBBS Redskins coach Police had no description of a possible suspect and were investigating whether the shooting was connected to a break-in at Taylor's home eight days earlier, in which police said someone pried open a front window, rifled through drawers and left a kitchen knife on a bed.

The concert is in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union at 7 p.m. The bands performing are The Noise FM, Midnight Vinyl and Darren Denney. There is no admission fee, but those who attend are asked to donate $5. Jubilee Café is constantly in need of funding, and Mark Darling. Leavenworth senior and organizer of the event, hopes the event, which he has been planning since September, will raise several hundred dollars. Bryan Wassenberg, Marysville junior and coordinator of the cafe, said the hoped the donations from the concert, along with other recent donations, would give the cafe enough money for the holiday season. The cafe needs about $300 a week to function. "The busy parts of the year get really hard because it takes students to set things up and get things running, and when midterms are coming around, funding gets put to the wayside," Wassenberg said. "Right now everyone is getting ready for finals and not really thinking about that stuff." Darren Denney, Leavenworth freshman and singer and guitarist of his band, said this was the perfect way for him to help a good cause. "There's not too many places like Jubilee to begin with," Denney said. "Students can come to the show and have a good time, and beyond that, they are helping people eat, and that's especially important around the holidays." Denney said his band played alternative music similar to Incubus or the Foo Fighters. The Noise FM is an alternative band that plays shows across the Midwest. Midnight Vinyl is a ska band that has won the McColum Hall battle of the bands recently. Jubilee Café serves breakfast to those in need every Tuesday and Friday morning in restaurant style at First United Methodist Church. Kelli Stout, Derby senior, is the co-director of the Center for Community Outreach, which is sponsoring the concert. "Jubilee Café is such a great thing, because it has been around so long and it goes through winter break," Stout said. "It's something these people count on, and it's so important that the students here connect with the community." - Edited by Jeff Briscoe Jharkit MIDDLE, Student Union Activities held the Battle of the Halls bands competition last night in the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

SUA features open mic night BY MATT LINDBERG mlindberg@kansan.com It may not have been a stadium venue, but everyone who wanted to roc-themic had a chance to Thursday night in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Student Union Activities held a "Battle of the Halls" competition, giving students a chance to entertain and win a Nintendo Wii for their respective halls. Megan Pasley, Olathe freshman, a resident of Hashinger Hall, won the individual prize, a $100 gift card which was valid on all of Massachusetts Street. Pasley, a singer, songwriter and pianist, said her previous musical endeavors inspired her composing today. "I did a lot of musical theater in high school and then I picked up playing piano again when I was a sophomore in high school," Pasley said. Pasley, who cited Alicia Keys as inspiration, said it was good to win again. "The goal is for people to listen and like your music, so it's nice to have won because I guess I did that." Pasley said. Although Pasley walked away winning the individual challenge, McCollum locked up the Nintendo Wii, which was given to the hall that had those most representatives show up at the competition. Twenty-one McCollum residences showed up to represent McCollum's own "Seven South." The group, which consists of four members, is known for their guitar comedy, "Seven South" went through a medley of its hits, including the cult favorites "Cherry Ice Cream" and "Egg Nog" as the crowd stood up and cheered in front of the stage. said the group were all friends and came together after randomly being put on the seventh floor of McCollum this year. "We always play in elevators and we won in McCollum's open-mic night, so that is why we decided to join this competition." Morrow said. The group came in second overall and won a $75 gift card which could be used on Massachusetts Street. Mitchell Morrow, Lawrence freshman. "We always have an open mic night, and this was a chance to attract more people." In addition to Pasley and Seven South, a comedian, folk-rock singer and another singer-songwriter rocked the stage, but Essence Nichelson, Manhattan freshman, managed to come in third place with a rendition of Alicia Keys' latest single, "No One." Nichelson said she had been singing her entire life and started in church. STEPHANIE ALTORO SUA Student Coordinator "My dad enjoyed the song. "My dad was a pastor before he passed away, and I would say church is where I got a powerful voice," Nichelson said. "Gospel and R&B definitely inspires me." Nichelson said she chose the Alica Keys song because the words matched her style and because she "It was perfect for my voice because she had a deep message. She's saying no one can pull her away from who she is speaking about. It's powerful, and it's why I listen to it 10 times a day." Stephanie Altoro, Brooklyn, N.Y., junior, is the SUA student coordinator. She said the event was about bringing people out to have a good time. "We always have an open mic night, and this was a chance to attract more people," Altoro said. "This was a chance to bring a bigger market with the residence halls."

ODD NEWS Woman loses $1,100, cane in shopping cart accident MONTAGUE, Mass. — Cash fluttering in the breeze might have seemed like a gift from heaven, but anyone in this western Massachusetts town who grabbed some of it is being asked to please give it back. The money — a total of $1,100 — belonged to 83-year-old Mary Olive Corbiere, who was banking on it to buy Christmas presents and lost it after a freak accident. Corbire had left a drugstore Tuesday and was putting her bags in her car when a wind gust pushed her shopping cart — still containing her purse and cane — into the back of a nearby delivery truck. The cart somehow became stuck in a rear wheel well before the truck pulled away and disappeared into traffic. "Everything was normal, then I turned around and the cart had taken off," said Corbiere, a retired English teacher and nurse. The cart was dragged for blocks along one of the town's busiest thoroughfares as the driver, oblivious to what had occurred, headed to the next delivery. Witnesses told police that when the purse finally burst open, strangers stopped and grabbed the fluttering currency, which Corbier had withdrawn for holiday shopping and bills. Officers found Corbierie's tattered checkbook and cane — but little cash. They are urging people to not be Grinches and return any of the money they might have found. "We're hoping people will do the right thing," police Sgt. Charles Dodge said. Corbie, though, isn't waiting around for the money's return. She headed to the bank Wednesday to get a new checkbook and make another withdrawal. She didn't even bother to retrieve the battered purse from police. thatns no use to me now," she said.

Herrera was working on his outdoor Christmas light display Tuesday afternoon when Santos Zelaya, 21, followed him into his suburban home on Long Island and confronted him with what turned out to be a pellet gun, police said.

African gray parrots can live past 50 years. Frankel and her husband, Lee Frankel, are offering the reward for Franklin's safe return. WALL STREET More gains mean biggest two-day rally in years Associated Press NEW YORK — Wall Street extended its rally with modest gains in the major indexes following two days of sharp advances, despite economic readings that painted a mixed picture of the economy. Though the indexes rose, declining issues narrowly outpaced advancers on the New York Stock Exchange. Wall Street's anticipation of a rate cut followed comments from a Fed official Wednesday. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke also hinted in a speech Thursday evening that another cut may be needed to bolster the economy. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the market posted Its biggest two-day rally in five years. Hopes have been growing that financial companies may be starting to recover from the credit crisis and that the Federal Reserve may lower interest rates to calm the markets. The oil price recovery gave some strength to energy stocks. Meanwhile, financial companies, which had shown gains Wednesday, retreated as did retailers following a weak showing by Sears Holdings Corp. Oil prices spiked early Thursday then fell back somewhat after a fire at an Enbridge Energy pipeline carrying crude from Canada to the Midwest. Aside from a reading on third-quarter growth, economic news didn't offer investors much reason to cheer. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 22.28, or 0.17 percent, to 13,311.73. In the three sessions since a pullback Monday, the Dow has jumped 568.29, of 4.5 percent. "The data's weak, and says to us that the Fed needs to stay engaged here," said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors. Broader stock indicators also rose.

A judge sentenced Jon Bartlett to 17 years and four months, with three years of supervision and $16,365 in restitution. Daniel Masarik was sentenced to 15 years and eight months, and Andrew Spengler received the same sentence. Bartlett, 36, Spengler, 28, were convicted with another former officer for taking part in the beating of Frank Jude Jr. outside a housewarming party in October 2004. Bartlett, 36, Masarik, 27, and Bartlett was the ringleader in the attack, Jude wrote in a statement submitted to the court Thursday. Jude feared for his life and had hoped U.S. District Judge Charles Clevert would give Bartlett the maximum 20-year sentence, he wrote. "You and your fellow police officer friends attempted to kill me and take my life," he wrote. "Mr. Bartlett, you are a disgrace, a disgrace to all police officers, and every public official in the world." Bartlett apologized to Jude in court Thursday, but he stood by his claim that he had to deal with the unruly suspect. civil rights and conspired to assault him while acting as officers. Officer Ryan Packard was acquitted of federal charges. The trial is the second round in a case that has haunted Milwaukee. The three men were acquitted of most state charges by an all-white jury in April 2006, angering the community. Federal authorities filed the civil rights charges six months later. "They caused him serious permanent physical injuries and mental injuries he and his family will have to deal with." A federal jury determined in July that the three violated Jude's In the days after the state trial, black and white residents, including the mayor, expressed their outrage at community meetings. As many as 2,000 people marched from the Milwaukee County courthouse to the federal courthouse. Jude, 29, said he had been at JONATHAN SAFRAN Attorney for victim he begged for mercy. Jude said he heard Spengler call him a racial slur. a party on Oct. 24, 2004, when a group of white men who identified themselfs as off-duty officers kicked and punched him, put a knife to his throat and jammed a pen in his ears as "They came close to killing Mr. Jude," said his attorney, Jonathan Safran. "They caused him serious permanent physical injuries and mental injuries he and his family will have to deal with the rest of their lives." Jude said the confrontation began as he and a friend were leaving the party, when a group of men surrounded their truck and dragged him out, accusing him of taking Spengler's badge. No badge was ever found. NATION GOD BLESS YOU Sharing is Caring THE SALVATION ARMY NEED KNOWS NO SEASON Paul Tucker stands in front of the Price Chopper in Barre, Vt., on Thursday. Because he took a job as a Salvation Army bell ringer at the supermarket instead of finding a place to live, the homeless man has been told to leave a shelter. Homeless man dismissed from shelter BY JOHN CURRAN ASSOCIATED PRESS BARRE, Vt. — A homeless man thought he was doing some good by standing at a supermarket for 10 hours a day to get shoppers to donate money into a red Salvation Army kettle. The shelter where Paul Tucker lives doesn't see it that way. The Good Samaritan Haven ordered him out by Saturday, saying that 48-year-old Tucker is spending his time raising money for the needy instead of finding a place to live or looking for work. gency housing, clothing and food, and requires clients to leave each day at 7 a.m. to look for housing or go to work, executive director Paul Mascicu said. The 20-bed shelter offers emer- The average guest stays 29 days, Mascotti said. Tucker has been there since May. "If you're not doing anything 10 hours a day, whether it's lounging on a beach or working for the Salvation Army or sitting at a Dunkin' Donuts, you're breaking your contract with us." Mascitti said. The Salvation Army — which "I can't see someone saying. I'm going to benefit mankind when I haven't taken care of myself." runs a soup kitchen Tucker frequents — gave him one of the bell ringer jobs two weeks ago. The gig pays $20 a day for meals. "He's a sweet man; hed do anything for anybody," said Capt. Louis Patrick, who runs the local group. Dressed in a knit Salvation Army cap and wearing a Salvation Army coat, Tucker solicits the donations from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. under a sign that reads: "Sharing and Caring. Need Knows No Season." "It's for generosity, really," he said. Tucker, who has worked as a painter, a farmer and a maintenance worker at a fast-food restaurant, has been getting well-wishes from shopper who know of his situation and holds no ill will toward the shelter. "I don't find fault with them, but I don't feel it's quite right," Tucker said. Tucker said he isn't sure where he'll go when he clears out of the shelter. There's a hiking camp he's heard about nearby and he may go there. Mascitti, meanwhile, makes no apologies. Rules are rules, he said. "Here it is, the 'Grinch' time of the year, and this guy is being asked to leave the homeless shelter, no room at the inn. It's an old story," he said.

JACOB BURGHART FASHION Victoria's Secret hits catwalk ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — It might be too much to devote an hour of primetime television to long legs, taut tummies and half-bare bottoms and bosoms. So the Victoria's Secret fashion show incorporates elaborate staging and musical performances. The annual hour-long flesh fest, featuring songs by will.i.am, Seal and the Spice Girls, airs 9 p.m. Tuesday on CBS. "This is really an event that's anchored in a fashion show," said CBS executive Jack Sussman. But isn't it essentially an hourlong commercial? Still, with top talent and a $10 million budget, the Victoria's Secret fashion show is more interesting than most everyday advertisements. This year's show spotlights 61 skimpy outfits worn by more "To a degree," he said. than two dozen of the world's most beautiful women. "The notion that we pander to men or advertise to men is ridiculous, ludicrous" he said. "Maybe 2 percent of our customers are men. Women shop us every day. Guys come in twice a year: Dec. 24 and Feb. 14." That means each fetching curve is filmed multiple times. The fashion show is performed and taped twice, with the best moments blended into the special. "A normal fashion show has two, said executive producer Ed Razek. "We have almost as many as the Super Bowl." Sixteen cameras stationed throughout the Kodak Theater capture the catwalk action from every angle. Despite the assets on display, the show is for women, Razek said. The pieces that turn underwear into outfits aren't for sale, said spokeswoman Monica Mitro, but the basic items upon which they're added are. It's all about creating a "lingerie fantasy," she said. provided by CBS. But overall viewership has declined each year, from more than 9 million in 2002 to just more than 6.5 million last year. The company shows more than its typical underwear offerings. Each lingerie ensemble is embellished with one-of-a-kind couture creations such as flowing feather skirts and crystal-encrusted accessories. Women make up slightly more than half of the show's viewers, according to ratings information "I love that we have people performing on stage while we're working. There isn't any other show like that," she said. "Other fashion shows are a little more quiet, a little more controlled, smaller. This is totally Hollywood." Seven-time show model Karolina Kurkova said the show was special.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WWW.KANSAN.COM FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30,2007 PAGE 5A SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE News outlets focus attention on American television, not world tension Media giving front page to television writers' strike seems inappropriate in light of global problems in demanding need of attention So I've been inexplicably receiving Entertainment Weekly for a few weeks now. I didn't order the thing, and god knows I didn't pay for a subscription. But for some reason they keep sending it to me. I don't know why. The last thing I want to read about is Oprah's YouTube channel and Jack Black's MARK PETTERSON new hair color (youtube.com/ oprah and blond, respectively, in case you wanted to know). But as it turns out, one can discover quite a bit about our culture from perusing the pages of magazines like EW. A recent cover article, for instance, was about the Writers Guild of America strike. In case you didn't know, screenwriters all over the country are on strike for a higher percentage of profits and, pretty soon, there will be nothing but re-runs on TV (daily shows have already ceased production) and movies in 2009 will be severely hindered. Reading the article, one got the impression that this event was disastrous on an epic level, second only to Armageddon, maybe. We might not get new episodes of "The Office" every week! Tina Fey is angry! Jon Stewart won't be on to give Don't we know that there's a war going on? That 3,100 people were killed in Bangladesh this month by a cyclone? (That's more than were killed on Sept. 11.) That Pakistan is under martial law? That Burmese monks For example: A few weeks ago, I wrote an article that took a couple of half-serious potshots at the sacred cow of local music. Previous articles on Darfur, Iraq, and Holcomb power plants received little to no response, but this one set off a wave of mail, angry comments and letters to the editor, the amount of which I had never seen before. It didn't bother me—some people didn't understand the satire, apparently—but it only proved what I had hoped was not true. Our priori- But then I saw the front page of the New York Times, and then the BBC. Guess what was the leading story? The WGA strike. were brutally put down after protesting an oppressive dictatorship? The world, as usual, is in chaos, and news outlets, including the University Daily Kansan (Nov. 8 and Nov. 15) are freaking out about television. Entertainment. Blame it on the media, and blame it on ourselves. Don't get me wrong, I like TV as much as anyone else. I am an apathetic college student, and I share the blame. I want to be entertained. I'll even entertain myself with songs about the pathetic irony of that attitude, like "Smells Like Teen Spirit." So if this article doesn't apply to you, then I am very glad. But I expect this self-examination will find some empathy within the KU community. us the real news! (Well, come to think of it, that actually is bad.) I was ready to build a fallout shelter and stock it with DVDs of "Arrested Development" by the time I was done reading. Well, ok, I thought. That's their beat. Someone's got to report about celebrities. It is called Entertainment Weekly, after all. Nothing to be worried about. I'm not going to make any cliché comparisons between the "good old days" of Ward and June Cleaver versus the mad United States of iPod in 2007. Maybe it was better back then, but odds are that it really wasn't. Even so, it still doesn't justify this contemporary "entertain me" mentality, nor does the fact that most all of us are ties are badly distorted. guilty at one time or another. Has college become just an exercise in killing time? An adventure in missing the point? Football and beer seem to have a higher place on the hierarchy than community and altruism. We work hard for our classes and at our jobs, but hardly any of us actually take a moment to comprehend the rampant materialism that silently governs how we live and the media messages that reinforce it. But I think that perhaps this TV pseudo-blackout will be good for us. Maybe we'll be forced to, god forbid, watch the real news now. Read newspapers. Perhaps a book? Maybe that's pushing it.

Boys hitting girls, girls hitting back Male abuse victims increasing while social norms allow the'weak'woman to be violent Our society does not tolerate violence within relationships. From children, we are branded with the notion that hitting is bad, and most often when we think of spousal and relationship abuse, we envision battered women fending off fist-swisting boyfriends or husbands who failed anger management. The visions of men with slap-stained cheeks and puncture wounds from Jimmy Choo stiletto slip through the cracks as the number of male abuse victims so unsnoticed. Despite the gender equality movements of the past, the existence of a weaker sex still plagues us today, evident in the skrocketing rate of females that find no problem hitting members of the opposite sex. While our mothers spent their whole young adulthood trying to defeat the weak woman stereotype, we are now banking on that very BETSY MCLEOD same bias, confident that our female slaps and high-heeled kicks won't be returned. It's a cultural law: Boys can't hit girls, even in self-defense. I beat my ex. I used him as a punching bag any time he upset me, and he would stand there with a pathetic look on his face, either unsure of what to do or afraid of what would happen if he fought back. He was six-foot-three and 200 pounds compared to my five-foot-eight and 135 pounds, a fact that made me assertive, not abusive. A girl is proud when she can say she slapped a guy into next week for being unfaithful because she's proven herself alpha, powerful and strong. The guy never says anything because it would emasculate him, and the girl never learns the kindergarten lesson about using words instead of violence. Statistically, women are victims of violence more often than men, and according to the Department of Justice, every year in the U.S. 835,000 men are victims of physical assault in an intimate relationship compared with 1.3 million women. I once spent a magical evening unconscious in the emergency room when I got too close to a testosterone-pumped angry girl wielding a metal baseball bat. Female victims of reported violence are undeniably far more prevalent than their male counterparts; I'm not denying that. My point is that when women attack men it's empowering, but when that man defends himself and hits back it's a crime, and that's not fair. I hate to go back to kindergarten, but having been on both ends of the abuse spectrum, I feel quite confident in saying that violence doesn't solve anything. Men should never hit women, but in the same breath women should never hit men, either. I'm guilty, I admit it, but I paid the price and now I keep my fists to myself. When it comes to violence our society has a tendency to crucify one sex over the other. We may be physically smaller, but women are vicious, and are much more likely than men to attack someone with a foreign object, anything from a table lamp to a rolling chair. We bite, we scratch, we kick and we pull hair. We may be less muscular but that in no way means we are weaker.

Smith 6A HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2007 PHILANTHROPY Toys for Tots fulfills children's wishes BY KATE AUGUST editor@kansan.com More than 13 million children in the United States live in poverty. For them, the items on their Christmas wishlist really are just wishes, many of which will not come true. However, the Kansas City area has an opportunity to make an impact this holiday season with the United States Marine Corps toys for Tots Foundation. The foundation helps provide Christmas gifts for children who might otherwise be overlooked. According to the Toys for Tots Web site, in 1947, U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Bill Hendricks founded the Toys for Tots foundation in Los Angeles. It began when his wife handcrafted a Raggedy Ann doll and asked him to find an organization that would give a poor child the doll on Christmas. Hendricks thoroughly searched his community, but he couldn't find an organization that provided gifts for children in need. When Hendricks told his wife that no such organization existed, she said that he should start one. So he did. A year after Hendricks founded Toys for Tots, the Marine Corps adopted it and transformed it into a national organization. The organization's mission is to collect as many new, unwrapped toys as possible during October, November and December. First Sgt. Brandon Hall, the Topeka Toys for Tots representative, said any area family that was at or below the poverty level was encouraged to apply to the program. "A needy family can apply for assistance on Christmas," Hall said. "Toys are distributed to the approved families in the community." In addition to distributing toys to a multitude of families, the Marines provide an extra special service to several lucky families on Christmas morning. "The unit picks five families that are really in need. On Christmas morning, we personally deliver the toys to those families," Hall said. According to the Toys for Tots Web site, last year the foundation delivered more than 19.2 million toys to more than 7.6 million children. This year, the organization hopes to provide gifts to all of the 13 million children living in need in the United States All Toys "R" Us stores and some other businesses in the Kansas City area provide drop boxes where the donated toys can be dropped off, as well as other locations including the Lawrence Athletic Club, 3201 Mesa Way.

The Salvation Army offers different charitable programs and services around the world. Red Kettle Campaign raises money for charity BY ALLISON WILLIS editor@kansan.com A few of the Salvation Army bell ringers are local volunteers, but most of the ringers are paid employees. This year marks the third season that John Elizalde, a paid Salvation Army bell ringer and Lawrence resident, has rung bells for the campaign at Wal-Mart. Elizalde said he enjoyed the spirit that comes from doing this service and that he loves to spread the joy and happiness along to others. He said he ultimately did it to glorify God. Although most bell ringers simply ring one bell, Elizalde has added a new twist to his bell concerts by ringing two bells. He said he tried Jessie Fetterling/KANSAN No one could mistake the familiar sound of ringing bells outside of stores this time of year. They do not mean that a sleigh pulled by reindeer is near, but instead that the Salvation Army has started its annual Red Kettle Campaign. Bell ringers stand in front of businesses proudly ringing handbells, trying to persuade shoppers to make donations in the unmistakable, bright red kettles. to incorporate the jazz and blues rhythms he grew up listening to in his bell playing. Moore's special technique to ringing the bells is to yell a long, drawn-out "yippee," which he says is for the kids. Elizalde is not the only bell ringer who brings his own style to ringing. Rickey Moore has been ringing bells for the Salvation Army on and, off for the past 15 years. Although Moore lives in Oklahoma, he decided to come back to Lawrence to ring the bells. "I rang here last year and enjoyed it," he said, "so I thought it would be a good idea to come back." Although most of the locations have contracts between their corporate offices and the Salvation Army's corporate offices, locally owned businesses such as Checkers and The Merc have their own contracts with the Lawrence Salvation Army. Elizalde and Moore, along with other ringers, can be seen at 17 locations in Lawrence, including Hy-Vee and Walgreens, from noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays. Checkers store director Mike Smith said the Salvation Army and Checkers had a verbal agreement for the bell ringers to be stationed at the store. He said that having the bell ringers at the store encouraged good community spirit and that the Salvation Army had rung bells at Checkers every season since the store opened in 1987. The money collected from the kettles at the end of the season will be put toward Salvation Army programs such as holiday assistances, the emergency shelter and feeding the community. All the money that is raised in the community through the Red Kettle Campaign stays in the community. According to the Salvation Army's Web site, last year the Red Kettle Campaign raised $117 million nationwide. Lt. Susan Dalberg of the Salvation Army said that last year, the Lawrence Salvation Army's campaign raised $83,238. This year's its campaign goal is $102,000. "I donate to the Salvation Army because I think it is important to give to others and this is an easy way to do it, especially if I have extra money this time of year," said Sarah Fettke, Wichita junior, who donated to Elizalde's kettle. locations Checkers 2300 Louisiana St. The Merc 901 Iowa St. Dillions 1740 Massachusetts St. Dillions 1015 W. 23rd St. Dillons 3000 W. 6th St. Dillons 4701 W. 6th St. Hy-Vee 3504 Clinton Parkway Hy-Vee 4000 W. 6th St. Walgreens 400 W. 23rd St. Walgreens 3421 W. 6th St. Wal-Mart 3300 Iowa St. J.C.

LOUIS PAGE 5B WWW.KANSAN.COM FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30,2007 COMMENTARY KANSAS 3 PAGE1B Rodrick Stewart steps up after moving to Kansas BY BRYAN WHEELER BWHEELER@KANSAN.COM Through six games this season, Rodrick Stewart has seen more minutes and has scored more points than Brucke Stewart has seen more minutes and has scored more points that he had in the past two years. The senior guard is averaging 7.3 points and 4.5 assists per game. A month ago, no one expected him to be playing as well as he is now. "I just want to prove to myself and to everybody that I belong here." Stewart said before the start of the season at media day. Proving himself is something he has certainly done. Sunday night when Kansas went to overtime with Arizona tied at 62, senior guard Rodrick Stewart was the first jayhawk to come up big. Arizona sophomore forward Chase Budinger fouled Stewart as he went up to make a layup. Stewart went to the free-throw line and sank the shot and Kansas took the lead. 65-62. Near the end when the Jayhawks led the Wildcats 74-70, Arizona senior guard Jawann McClellan went up to shoot for three. He missed, and Stewart came up with the rebound to ensure the victory. REUNION TOUR This Sunday, Kansas will travel to No. 22 Southern California for possibly its toughest game of the year. For Stewart, USC is familiar territory. Four years ago in 2003, Stewart was a freshman at USC. He was a highly touted prospect coming out of Rainer Beach High School in Seattle, Wash. Rivals.com had ranked him the No. 25 overall recruit. Stewart was in close company as well when he decided to play at USC. His twin brother, Lodrick Stewart, was also a top prospect that year and chose USC. At USC, Rodrick was off to a solid start, averaging 4.4 points and 2.1 assists per game while starting 17 times. Though his performance was as good as you can expect from a freshman, he was unhappy playing at USC under coach Henry Bibby. Stewart considered transferring. He visited Lawrence and witteded Kansas in full throttle as the Jayhawks downed St. Joseph's 91-51. Coming to Lawrence and watching Kansas was the tops for Stewart, and he decided to transfer. Meanwhile, coach Bibby was fired by the Trojans four games into the start of the following season. As a transfer, Stewart would have to sit out for a year, but that didn't bother him much. "Actually it will be kind of easy because I get to see all the mistakes everyone else is making in the games," Stewart said in 2005 when asked about to sit for a year. "I will be able to learn all the plays from watching and being in practice. In a way, I think sitting out will help." It was the atmosphere of Allen Fieldhouse and playing for a great basketball power that caught Stewart's attention. at a glance RODRICK STEWART | | '06-'07 | '07-'08 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Minutes | 5.8 | 20.0 | | Points | 0.9 | 7.3 | | Rebounds | 0.8 | 3.0 | | Assists | 0.2 | 1.2 | | Steals | 0.2 | 1.0 | | FG percentage | .357 | .607 | | FT percentage | .273 | .571 | "I just love everything about Kansas. Everything from the fans to the community, everybody is so nice with their hospitality," Stewart in 2005. "The family here is real family. I have never seen any place louder than Allen Fieldhouse." KANSAN FILE PHOTO Once Stewart became a layhawk, his playing time dwindled. During his sophomore and junior years, he averaged 6.4 minutes per game. His highlight came just before the start of his sophomore season in summer 2005. Stewart played on the Sport Tours International All-Stars team that traveled to Slovenia and Austria. In a six-game span, he averaged 13.5 points a game. SIBLING RIVALRY Last season, Kansas played USC at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas won 72-62, and Rodrick got a chance to match up against his brother, Lodrick, who scored 23 points. Rodrick's brother would have liked him to have played more in the game. "He got mad when I was walking toward the bench," Rodrick said after last year's game. "He said, 'They're taking you out already? That was good D!' I just kept on walking. When we were growing up, we always played against other people. To play against him was weird. I gave my team a scouting report on him." Rodrick did not complain about playing for only three minutes in the game, but he wanted to compete against his brother. "I'm not disappointed that I didn't get to play." Rodrick said after the game. "But tonight was a night when I really wanted to go out there and lock my brother up." This year when Kansas travels to USC, Rodrick will likely play a lot more. While sophomore guard Sherron Collins is out with a stress fracture, good play from Stewart will be much needed against USC on Sunday. There will be no matchup between Rodrick and Lodrick in this game because his brother graduated last year. Edited by Dianne Smith Kansas' game against USC will be a true test of adversity for the Jayhawks this season. Stewart is one of five seniors on the roster, and he is playing better than ever. He has definitely proved himself, but still maintains a selfless attitude and would like nothing more than the Jayhawks to win. "It is really not about me," Stewart said at KU media day. "It is about being a part of something special, and we have a chance to do that this year on the court." KANSAS 5 35 Senior guard Rodrick Stewart came to Kansas after spending time at Southern California. His brother, Lordric Steward, also attended USC, but Stewart chose Kansai and has not regretted his decision. Freshmen athletes shine in season play BASKETBALL KANSAS 45 32 BY RUSTIN DODDrdodd@kansan.com Cole Aldrich, freshman forward, powers up for a play during Wednesday's game against Florida Atlantic. This year, there are several freshmen who are playing college basketball because of a new MBA rule. Sarah Leonard/KANSAN Last season, Cole Aldrich had no problem keeping up with the success of last year's crop of freshman. Ohio State's Greg Oden burst on to the scene and led his team to the NCAA Championship game, while Texas Kevin Durant won the Associated Press National Player of the Year and was splashed on the front of every major newspaper and sports magazine. It was the "Year of the Freshmen," Sports Illustrated proclaimed. Aldrich saw it all. All he had to do was turn on the tube. "I had the College Gameday package," Aldrich said. One year later, Aldrich is a freshman at Kansas, and some of Aldrich's fellow freshmen across the country are making some people rethink Sports Illustrated's proclamation. Could this year be the real "Year of the Freshman"? Kansas will get a look at one of the country's best freshmen, O.J. Mayo, this Sunday when they travel to USC. Mayo is at USC for one reason; he wasn't allowed to enter the NBA Draft, thanks to a rule that the NBA implemented in 2006. The rule, which requires athletes to be at least 19 years old and one year removed from high school, is the sole reason players such as Mayo, Kansas State's Michael Beasley, Memphis' Derrick Rose, and Indiana's Eric Gordon are on college campuses this basketball season. But whether a player is a post player or guard, the man who coached Durant at Texas last season, Rick Barnes, doesn't want people to compare anybody to Durant. "If anybody compares with Kevin, that's a mistake," Barnes said. "I told people if you didn't look at Kevin Durant as a freshman, I thought be the best player in college USC 32 basketball. Guys like that don't come along very often." Barnes said. Kansas coach Bill Self agreed that it might be premature to think that any of this year's freshmen would have the same impact as Durant or Oden. Self said he thought that Durant would have dominated even if he played for John Wooden's 1960s UCLA teams. Still, self said he thought Kansas State's Michael Beasley has the chance to make a big impact this season. And so far, Beasley has performed to a level that might make Barnes change his mind. The Durant comparison might not be as crazy as Barnes thinks. "We're not going to see another one like that for a long time." Self said. Beasley is averaging 27.2 points and 15.5 rebounds per game, and Beasley, with 24 rebounds in his first college game, already broke the Big 12 rebounding record of 23 rebounds in one game, previously held by Durant and former Jayhawk Nick Collison. Gordon is having similar success at the guard position for Indiana. Gordon is averaging 27.3 points per game. Memphis' Rose is making people turn their heads as well. Rose is scoring 17 points per game at the point guard position for the No. 2 team in the country. Self said a freshman's impact on a team had a lot to do with the status of the program. "It's harder for guys to make an impact if they're going into programs that have players," Self said. "Darrell Arthur could have scored a lot more points for some folks last year, and Sherron could have, if they would have been at other programs. Instead they elected to come to Kansas for all the right reasons. They were concerned with winning." This year's Kansas freshmen — Aldrich, Tyrel Reed and Conner Teahan — may be experiencing some of the same problems that Collins and Arthur faced last year. Aldrich and Reed are playing 10.2 and 12.4 minutes per game respectively. So while Kansas fans will see Mayo on Sunday and Beasley at least twice this season against Kansas, people might have to wait a little while to see if this year's crop of freshmen stacks up with last year's class led by Durant and Oden. But one thing is for certain. Big 12 coaches are definitely glad they no longer have to deal with Kevin Durant, who left early for the NBA draft. "Thank goodness he's gone," Missouri coach Mike Anderson said. - Edited by Amelia Freidline 》BASKETBALL KU gets look at hyped USC freshman BY MARK DENT mdent@kansan.com The downdrodden for years basketball program at Southern California is starting to change. With a sometimes volatile freshman who has been a star since seventh grade leading the way a year after the team's Sweet 16 berth, the USC show, which airs about nine miles from Sunset Boulevard, is well-worth of top Hollywood billing. USC, which plays host to Kansas at 1 p.m. Sunday, has won six games after losing its home opener to Mercer College, including victories against South Carolina and Southern Illinois. Kansas coach Bill Self was particularly impressed by the victory against the Salukis. "You beat Southern Illinois by 25 on a neutral court, and it's like winning by 45 against someone else because of the way they play." Self said. "Southern Illinois, we were lucky to beat them on the last possession last year. They have it going pretty good right now." OJ. Mayo is one of the main reasons USC is living the good life. Mayo, a freshman who was ranked No. 1 by several recruiting services, leads the Trojans in points at 21.8 per game and is second on 1. the team in both rebounding and assists. Self mentioned other top freshmen such as Kansas State's Michael Beasley, UCLA's Kevin Love, Indiana's Eric Gordon and Duke's Kyle Singler and said Mayo could be the best. Hype has followed Mayo since he was in middle school. Back then, Sports Illustrated featured him in a story, and he had his own Web site. The media's close watch on Mayo has revealed off-court controversies in addition to his on-court excellence. Most of the trouble started last year when Mayo, then a high school senior in Huntington, WVA., was accused of hitting a referee in a game and cited for marijuana possession (a charge that was later dropped). He also drew negative headlines when The New York Times reported that USC coach Tim Floyd wasn't allowed to call Mayo during his recruitment. Mayo called Floyd. It also reported that Mayo wanted to play at USC so he could build up his profile in a big market. "He's probably as far along as anybody in the country," Self said. All the negative vibes have evaporated into the smog-filled Los Angeles air so far this season as Mayo has helped lead the Trojans to a perfect record since getting upset in their first game. Senior forward Darnell Jackson said the Kansas players were all familiar with Mayo's exploits. "He's a great player," Jackson said. "He's an NBA player, hands down. The things he does on the court — I'm just like, 'Oh man, and he's a freshman.'" Although the Trojans lost Lodrick Stewart to graduation and Gabe Pruitt and Nick Young as early entrants to the NBA Draft, the emergence of freshmen Mayo and Davon Jefferson and sophomores Daniel Hackett and Tai Gibson has made USC a tough team to beat for the second straight year. Last season, Kansas defeated Southern California at home 72-62. The Jayhawks struggled offensively but won the game with good defense. This year, they'll have to visit L.A. and give a similar effort to defeat Mayo and the rest of Hollywood's finest. "They brought in a lot of talent this year," Jackson said, "so I think it's just going to be a lot faster and more physical. I know the guys are excited about playing us because we beat them last year. Now we have to go in there with the same mindset as last year and play them hard."

His much-improved offense and Missouri's solid defense could be tough for Oklahoma to handle this time around. BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP: NO. 9 OKLAHOMA (10-2) VS. NO. 1 MISSOURI (11-1) Missouri players didn't talk much about their top national ranking, their Heisman candidate quarterback or even a huge victory against Kansas. They were mostly focused on going to San Antonio for the Big 12 Championship and avenging their loss to Oklahoma. A 41-31 loss in Norman, Okla. is the only blemish on the Tigers' record this season. And the Tigers feel like they should have won. Missouri led by a point going into the fourth quarter before Daniel's two turnovers. The Sooners scored 21 unanswered points. Behind an improved Daniel, Missouri thinks it's the team to beat in San Antonio. Daniel hasn't thrown an interception in fifteen quarters and has looked nearly perfect. He averaged 354 yards and four touchdowns in the last four games. The Tiger defense has improved since the loss in October. Junior Stryker Sulak and senior Lorenzo Williams provide a scary pass rush Junior William Moore has intercepted more passes than any Missouri player in 39 years. The Sooners will try to overwhelm the Tigers with a proficient offense. Freshman quarterback Sam Bradford ranks first in the nation in passing efficiency. Even without freshman running back DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma has a deep backfield, but it can't count on Missouri's mistakes to propel it to victory again. Not anymore. SEC CHAMPIONSHIP: NO. 14 TENNESSEE (9-3) VS. NO. 5 LU1(0-2) The two teams' paths to Atlanta for the Southeastern Conference Championship couldn't have been much different. LSU clinched the SEC West division nearly three weeks ago. Tennessee had to win two weeks in a row to conquer the East Division. It took a missed field goal by Vanderbilt in the final seconds and a quadruple-overtime thriller against Kentucky for the Volunteers to advance. No one expects them to compete with the Tigers. The Tiger rush defense was exposed in last week's loss to Arkansas. Expect coach Phillip Fulmer to call a multitude of rushing plays early to try to attack the vulnerability. Tennessee running back Arian Foster has run for two straight 100-yard games. The weakness for the Volunteers is their passing defense. LSU senior wide receiver Early Doucet and sophomore wide receiver Brandon LaFell will create tough match-ups for the Tennessee secondary. ACC CHAMPIONSHIP: NO. 6 VIRGINIA TECH (10-2) VS. NO. 12 BOSTON INC. NOE (B.P.) COLLEGE (10-2) downs in the final minutes to beat Virginia Tech. The Hokies have a formidable pass rush with senior defensive lineman Chris Ellis and junior defensive lineman Orion Martin. Ellis and Martin will try to take Ryan out of his zone early in the game. Although Ryan has been one of the nation's best quarterbacks this season, he has thrown 16 interceptions. Virginia Tech's offense is led by junior running back Brandon Ore. He hasn't been outstanding this season but had his best game last week and ran for 147 vards. Defensively, the two teams are evenly matched. This game could come down to the end once again. PITTSBURGH (4-7) AT NO. 2 WEST VIRGINIA (10-1) Don't assume the Mountaineers are in the BCS Championship Game until they beat the Panthers in one of the nation's most underrated rivalries. "The Backyard Brawl." Last year the Bruins ruined the Trojans' national title hopes. This year the Bruins can ruin the Trojans' Pac 10 Championship hopes. UCLA (6-5) AT NO. 8 USC (9-2) WASHINGTON (4-8) AT NO. 11 HAWAII (11-0) The Huskies won against their first Western Athletic Conference foe this season, the Boise State Broncos. Can they do the same against Hawaii, a team that is almost guaranteed a spot in a BCS Bowl with a victory? ARIZONA (5-6) AT NO. 13 ARIZONA STATE (9-2) If the Wildcats beat the Sundevils, they will be bowl eligible for the first time in nine years. If the Sun Devils beat the Wildcats, they will hope for a USC loss to land in the Rose Bowl. OREGON STATE (7-4) AT NO. 18 OREGON (8-3) Behind linebackers Derrick Dogget and Joey LaRocque, the Beavers boast the nation's top ranked rushing defense. That's bad news for the Ducks because since starting quarterback Dennis Dixon's injury they've had no way to move the ball through the air. 》 COLLEGE FOOTBALL — Edited by Rachael Gray Teams, fans await weekend games,bowl placement results BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com As it does every year, the Bowl Championship Series is attracting plenty of attention in the last few days of college football's regular season. Some people love the system and some hate it, but there's little doubt that the constant reshuffling of contending teams makes for compelling — and confusing — theater. With just a few games yet to be played, the possible BCS scenarios seem endless. Here's a quick rundown of what the top teams in the nation have to gain or lose going into Sunday's selection show (7 p.m. on FOX, Sunflower Broadband channel 4). NO.1 MISSOURI This week: No. 9 Oklahoma (Big 12 Conference Championship in San Antonio, Texas, at 7 p.m.) Missouri is in control of its own destiny. With a conference title-clinching victory against Oklahoma Saturday night, Missouri can guarantee itself a spot in the National Championship game. If the Tigers lose, they would most likely fall out of the BCS picture completely and go to the Cotton Bowl. NO.2 WEST VIRGINIA This week: Pittsburgh (Morgantown, W.Va., at 6:45 p.m.) West Virginia's scenario heading into the final weekend is very similar to that of Missouri. If the Mountaineers defeat the 28-point underdog Pittsburgh Panthers, they are headed for the BCS National Championship no matter what. If West Virginia falls victim to the "Curse of No. 2" and somehow loses, it could plunge out of the BCS picture altogether. NO. 3 OHIO STATE This week: idle The Buckeyes will be keeping close tabs on Missouri and West Virginia this Saturday, because a loss by either of the top two teams would GAMEDAY watch parties It's tradition. Cheer on Kansas BASKETBALL Dec 2nd Kansas vs Southern California 1pm are not around for 54 years unless JOHNNY'S TAVERN Just 'Cross the Bridge • 401 N. 2nd • 842-0377 send Ohio State to the championship game. The Big Ten Conference's lack of a championship game could end up paying off for Ohio State, as the Buckeyes don't have much to lose while sitting at home this weekend. In the worst-case scenario, Ohio State is going to the Rose Bowl as the champion of the Big Ten. 9 WARRIOR UP TRADITION TONY'S TOWER VOLUNTEER.

An early season loss to Tennessee kept the Bulldogs out of Saturday's SEC Championship and took their destiny from of their own hands. Georgia needs both Missouri and West Virginia to fall to have a shot at the national title game. As things stand now, Georgia's situation is extremely fluid. The Bulldogs will probably earn an at-large bid to the Orange Bowl but also could play in either the Fiesta or Rose Bowls. NO.5 KANSAS is week idle This week: idle A week ago, Kansas sat in the driver's seat, needing only two victories to reach the championship. But the Jayhawks blew their title hopes by losing to the Tigers and no longer Fiesta Bowl Kansas vs. Arizona State Rose Bowl Ohio State vs. USC have a hand in their fate. The good news for Kansas: A Missouri victory almost guarantees the Jayhawks an at-large bid to the Fiesta Bowl. The almost-as-good news: An Oklahoma victory could still send the Jayhawks to Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl. If that scenario plays out, Kansas would face Oklahoma in the Fiesta — in conference matchups are allowed if the teams have not played earlier in the same season. If Kansas somehow falls out of contention for the Fiesta, it could be headed out of the BCS to the Cotton or Holiday bowls.

Saint Louis shouldn't be much trouble for Kansas, but a game with Marquette awaits on December 6 and it's important that Weddington proves she's completely healthy to give Henrickson another weapon against the Golden Eagles. QUESTION MARK Can they go anywhere but down? The Jayhawks played a nearly perfect game Tuesday night, and it will be nearly impossible to improve on that performance. The keys for Kansas are to improve on its rebounding and try to duplicate the sharing of wealth on offense. Not everything's going to go as well as it did Tuesday, but if the Jayhawks do those two things they'll be fine. GAME DAY BALL BALLET GUARD JAWHAW FIELD HOUSE RECOUNTS CAREER THROW BALL BALLET GUARD JAWHAW FIELD HOUSE RECONTRIBUTIONS FINAL FOUR BASKETBALL GUARD JAWHAW ALLEM FIELDHOUSE RECONTRIBUTIONS CAREER THROW FORWARD BALL TREK RECOUNTS FINAL FOUR BASKETBALL GUARD JAWHAW KEEPING THE MOMENTUM GOING Women face St. Louis after playing near-perfect game Tuesday KANSAS VS. SAINT LOUIS 7 tonight, Allen Fieldhouse OFFENSE The Kansas offense was rolling Tuesday night. It got out of the gates fast, spread the ball around extensively and most importantly never backed down. The Jayhawks shot a blistering 56.7 percent from the field to blow out Creighton 91-65. Sophomores Danielle McCray and Sade Morris led the way with 16 points each, but it was solid production from the other players that made this game unique. Senior Taylor McIntosh finished with 10 points, freshmen Krysten Boogaard and Nicollette Smith added nine aplice and sophomore Porscha Weddington poured in eight in just 13 minutes. Kansas dominated the block, outsourcing Creighton 46-18 with points in the paint, and out-hustled its opponent for 22 fast break points. This is the type of performance the Jayhawks are capable of every night, and now they know what to strive for. ★★★★★ DEFENSE The defense showed improvement in the Bluejay beat down, but it's difficult to tell how much was a good defense and how much was a bad offense. Creighton was off all night, sometimes missing three or four close shots in a single possession. The Bluejays shot a dismal 27 percent from the field and turned the ball over 26 times, which the Jayhawks quickly converted into 36 points off turnovers. Still, Kansas didn't look that much better on the defensive end than it had before — it just caught Creighton on a terribly off night. Proof of that is in rebounds, where the Bluejays pulled down 43 to the Jayhawks 41. In a blowout win there's no reason to get out-rebounded. ★★☆☆ COACHING Bonnie Ball 2007 is starting to take shape, and there's plenty to be excited about. After its first loss of the year, Kansas came out with its best all-around game of the season. While she would have preferred the Jayhawks not lose at all, coach Bonnie Henrickson was pleased with the fire her team came out with after its first setback. The team's preseason goal was 20 wins and a trip to the NCAA tournament. Right now Kansas sits at 4-1 with its next four games all at home, giving it a great chance to move that total up to eight before a two-game trip to California on Dec. 21. The Jayhawks' postseason aspirations could come back to how well they take care of business right now, and Henrickson needs to make sure her team stays focused and ready for each opponent. 1 ★★★☆☆ OFFENSE Despite winning only two of its first six games, St. Louis is much better than its record suggests. The Billikens have only been outscored by three points. The team relies on a talented trio of sophomores to guide an offense averaging nearly 70 points in spite of shooting less than 30 percent from three-point range. Sophomore guards Katie Paganell and Maggie Hennegan and 6-4 sophomore center Amanda Kemezys can all score and reound and Kansas will have to force St. Louis to shoot from long range. Taylor Bern KANSAS 3 ★★☆☆☆ DEFENSE The Billikens have shown the ability to play stingy defense, but the team hasn't been able to put together consistent play. St. Louis has also shown a propensity to send its opponents to the free throw line. Against Kansas that could spell trouble. Kemezys will have stay out of foul trouble to protect the rim from Kansas' duo of playmaking sophomore guards, Danielle McCray and Sade Morris. The Billikens' fortunes will rest on the team that takes the floor on Sunday. Will it be the team that gave up 81 points at Akron or the one that held rehead State to 53? ★★★☆★★ COACHING Shimmy Gray-Miller took the reins three seasons ago and became the sixth coach in the history of the program. Her first season was a significant step for the St. Louis as the school joined the Atlantic 10 Conference. In her time in charge the Billikens have stumbled to a 20-37 record, but Gray-Miller's recruiting should start paying dividends. Four players in her first full recruiting class were immediately inserted in the starting lineup. ★★☆☆★ — Andrew Wiebe SLU TIP-OFF PLAYER TO WATCH Ivana Catic Sophomore guard Katie Paganelli In St. Louis two wins the ex- --- Paganelli proactive score has averaged 19.5 points. Kemezes inside play will be key to the Billikens success but without a significant contribution from Paganelli the team won't be able to keep up with a Jay-hawks team that seems to have found their offensive rhythm. QUESTION MARK Will the Billikens be able to avoid the turnover woes Creighton experienced against Kansas? St. Louis has tended to turn the ball over in bunches in their four losses. If Kansas guards, especially sophomores Morris and LaChelda Jacobs, maintain the type of defensive pressure that plagued Creighton, St. Louis could be in store for a long night. MLB Royals sign reliever Yasuhiko Yabuta to two-year contract ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Reliever Yasuhiko Yabuta has agreed to a two-year, $6 million contract with the Kansas City Royals and will compete for a spot as the team's primary setup man. A 34-year-old right-hander, Yabuta spent 12 seasons with the Pacific League's Chiba Lotte Marines, who are managed by Bobby Valentine. Trey Hillman, who spent the past five years managing the Nippon Ham Fighters before being hired last month by the Royals, was helpful in persuading Yabuta to come to Kansas City. "I don't know how much that factors in," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said Wednesday. "But let's face it, we've all been exposed to different things in our lives for the first time. I think the fact that Trey is very well respected not only in the U.S., but in Japan, and is very familiar with the Japanese culture certainly helps." Yabuta gets $2.5 million next season and $3 million in 2009. The Royals have a $4 million option for 2010 with a $500,000 buyout, but the option becomes Yabuta's if he pitches in a specified amount of games. In addition, he can earn $500,000 annually in performance bonuses. Yabuta has a 44-59 career record with nine saves and a 4.03 ERA in 343 appearances, including 86 starts. He was 4-6 with four saves and a 2.73 ERA in 58 relief outings this past season, then became a free agent. He walked 10 and struck out 45 in 62 2-3 innings. He will be introduced to the Kansas City media today. "Yasuhiko has been one of the best relievers in lapan the last several years." Moore said. "He will be an important veteran arm that will help add stability to the back end of our bulpen." An interpreter will be hired for Yabuta, but the Royals believe Hillman's Japanese language skills will be adequate for any communication during games. Interprets are "He throws a fastball, changeup, splitter," Moore said. "He has a slider. The changeup and split are the main reasons he's had so much success against left-handers. He keeps his fastball down in the zone. He doesn't walk a lot of guys. He makes them beat him. That's something we like." not allowed in dugouts. Moore said his fastball is in the 88-92 mph range. "Hopefully, we will be more successful." Moore said. "When I was with the Braves and doing international work, you want to sign somebody who makes sense for your team and helps you win. But it's a passion and a goal to get involved with the (japanese) market. The players that play in Asia are very skilled baseball players, very talented." Kansas City plans to be more aggressive internationally. RIBBED.

Kansas is a much more experienced team than the young Southern Cal Trojans. This game also features the first super freshman the Jayhawks will see this season in O.J. Mayo. The next is Kansas State's Michael Beasley. Stewart PETER KAUFMAN WHOTOWATCH TIME TO ELEVATE KU could struggle against star power KANSAS AT USC, 1 p.m. Sunday, The Galen Center, Los Angeles, FSN Rodrick Stewart, senior guard averages about 4.3 per game only Chalmers averages more. Stewart has shown he can pass, score and play good defense. He's by far the most improved player for Kansas this season, and he'll want to display that against his former team. PRAIRIE BALL GROUND HAWKWELL HOUSE REFRESHED FREE THROW MIDDLE BALL GROUND WAKEWELL EAST BALL GROUND WAKELEM FIELDHOUSE GROUND ROUGH FREE THROW FORWARD BALL THREE FRIES INTERNAL FOUR BASKETBALL GROUND GAJNWA ALLEN FIELDHOUSE GROUND SALTER FREE THROW FORWARD BALL TIME PERSONAL FOUR BASKETBALL GROUND GUARD HAWKWELL QUESTION MARK Stewart threw eight assists and had no turnovers against Florida Atlantic Wednesday night. He Is James Dunleavy related to that former Duke star? HEARYE, HEARYE Yes. James is the younger brother of Mike Dunleavy Jr., who played on the 2001 Duke national championship team. Mike and James' father, Mike Sr., coaches the Los Angeles Clippers. Here's another question: Is James as good as Mike Jr? Well, that answer can't be determined yet, but it isn't unlikely he'll enjoy as successful of a career. James hasn't played yet this season. In high school, he averaged 2.5 points per game as a junior and couldn't play as a senior because of eligibility reasons. "You have to have some ins on a situation like that. And certainly, I think Lawrence is fabulous, and Kansas City is great. But it's not Hollywood. So I don't think we were in the mix." "We have to play through our big guys more in the low post. We're still not doing that. We missed them countless times in the first half. To me, it's a simple deal. You just get it and throw it to them, and it's the big guys' responsibility to catch it. We think way too much, and we have to get better at throwing in the post." —Kansas coach Bill Self on recruiting O.J. Mayo Bill Self after the Florida Atlantic game. Kansas 6-0 THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE A. H. BENJAMES Russell Robinson, 6-foot-1 senior guard Robinson didn't get in any foul trouble against Florida Atlantic like he did against Arizona, but he still struggled. His scoring only three points against the Owls isn't a major concern, but his two assists should be. He needs to get the ball inside. ★★★☆☆ Ayodeji Akpomoha Mario Chalmers, 6-foot-1 junior guard Some consistency would be nice. Chalmers scored all 11 of his points against Florida Atlantic in the first half. Against Arizona last Sunday, he scored the majority of his points in the game's final minutes. ★★★★☆ Rodrick Stewart, 6-foot-4 senior guard It's homecoming for Stewart, who played for the Trojans for one season before transferring to Kansas. His brother Lodrick, who was a senior last season, put on a show against Kansas when he scored 23 points. Rodrick will want to have a similar effort on Sunday. ★★★★★ A. B. Darrell Arthur, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Arthur against TaJ Gibson will be a good match-up of two of the best sophomore forwards in the country, Gibson and Arthur have nearly the same game. Neither of them can bang, but they can leave the paint and consistently make turnaround jump shots. ★★★☆ Darnell Jackson, 6-foot-8 senior forward PARKER Jackson will probably be in the starting lineup for a while, barring injury or a major lull in production. He needs to rebound better than he did against Florida Atlantic. Southern California is talented, but its frontcourt is undersized, just like Kansas' ★★★☆ THE SIXTH MAN M. E. B. Brandon Rush, 6-foot-6 junior guard Brandon Rush, 6-2 (tour) Junior Guard Did you see the No. 2 play on Sportscenear's Top 107 it featured Rush getting stuffed while going up for a dunk against Florida Atlantic. Well, the good news is Self said Rush would be able to finish that play a month from now. ★★★★★ Mark Dent THE GALEN CENTER WILL ROCK FOR KU IF... Southern California 5-1 THE PROJECTED STARTING FIVE It contains USC's other scorers aside from O.J. Mayo. Believe it or not, it might be better if Kansas lets Mayo gets his points. He scored only 13 in the Trojans' victory against Southern Illinois and that was the best USC played all season. Mayo is a great individual player, but he hasn't shown he can lead the team yet. The Trojans' other top players include Daniel Hackett, Taj Gibson, Davon Jefferson and Dwight Lewis. Any one of them could be USC's leading scorer. Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers will have a tough time guarding Hackett and Lewis. Both players have height advantages over the two Kansas guards, and Chalmers and Robinson will have to find a way to stop them. Daniel Hackett, 6-foot-5 sophomore guan. Mayo gets the attention, but Hackett may be USC's most valuable player so far. The sophomore is playing 33.8 minutes per game and averaging 12.8 points per game. Hackett is shooting an impressive 61 percent from the floor. PETER AQUILAN ★★★★★ Dwight Lewis, 6-foot-5 sophomore guard Lewis is a former Kansas recruit who verbally committed to the Jayhawks out of Archbishop Rummel High School in Louisiana. But Lewis had a change of heart, reopened his recruitment and chose USC. ★★★☆☆ O.J. Mavo, 6-foot-5 freshman guard G. Mayo, 6-foot-5 freshman guard Mayo is a modern day tall-tail. His exploits have been documented since Mayo was a seventh grader starting on the varsity basketball team at Rose Hill Christian School in Ashland, Ky. Mayo will be the most talented player on the floor on Sunday, but Mayo might want to look across the court at Brandon Rush to see the most polished basketball player. ★★★★ Tai Gibson. 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Taj Gibson, 6-foot-9 sophomore forward Gibson flirted with the NBA Draft, but luckily for USC fans, he decided to come back to Los Angeles. Now Gibson, who's scoring 11.7 points per game, is giving USC a strong post player to go along with its group of guards. ★★★☆ M. Kasey Cunningham, 6-foot-7 freshman forward freshma...

Cu... shirted last sea... knee injury, is ou... pull down rebound KANSAS 2 Davon 6-foot-8 f... forward Jefferson age as Darrel he spent last... prep school academics. good friend convinc Mark Dent Cunningham is playing 16.7 minutes per game in his freshman campaign.Cunningham, who red-shirted last season because of a knee injury, is out on the floor to pull down rebounds and hustle. M. KEWUEN ★★★★ THE SIXTH MAN Davon Jefferson, 6-foot-8 freshman forward Jefferson is the same age as Darrell Arthur, but he spent last season at a prep school to work on his academics. Jefferson was PETER A. good friends with Mayo, and it was Mayo who convinced him to go to USC. ★★★☆☆ PHOG ALLEN WILL ROLL OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF... Kansas gets blown out. That outcome Kansas gets blown out. That outcome is unlikely, but it could happen. Southern California crushed Southern Illinois, a team Kansas beat by three last year, on a neutral court. The Trojans have the offensive firepower to put up big numbers and big physical guards who can apply intense defensive pressure. About two weeks ago, Self said his team would probably elevate its play once the bigger games approached. That didn't happen against Arizona last Sunday. It has to happen against USC on Sunday or a blowout is a possibility. USC TIP-OFF AT AGLANCE If you think USC is just "The O.J. Mayo Show," think again. Yes, Mayo is leading the Trojans with 12.8 points per game, but 6-foot-9 sophomore forward TaJ Gibson can play a little bit, too. Hackett's scoring 12.8 points per game, and Gibson's adding 11.7. USC looked lost in its season opening 96-81 loss to Mercer, but the Trojans have turned it up a notch. USC is now 5-1 and No. 22 in the AP Top 25 poll. WHO TO WATCH It's O.J. Mayo, and it's not even close. This guy has been getting national publicity since he was in seventh grade. Mayo has a reputation as a malcontent, but he has been sensational in his first six games at USC, averaging 21.8 points per game. If the NBA allowed high school players to leave early for the draft, Mayo would probably be rotting on an NBA bench. Instead, Kansas fans have an opportunity to see Mayo battle with Kansas' talented stable of guards. Bill Self has been impressed." He will be the best player we have played this season, and that includes (Arizona's Chase) Budinger." ALEXANDRA BERRY Mayo QUESTION MARK Will USC's inexperience show on Sunday? The Trojans start three sophomores and two freshmen. Sure, they will be playing at home, but can a team this young hang with an experienced Kansas team in a close game? Kansas has played its way past freshmen-led teams before. Twice last year, Kansas fell behind to Kevin Durant's Texas team, and twice Kansas rallied to win. It might not be wise to expect that younger O.J. Mayo can lead USC to a victory against a top five team this early in his career. HEARYE, HEARYE "Anybody that beats Southern Illinois by 25 on a neutral floor and scores 70 (is good). And you say 'only 70?' but they (SU) have only given up 70 points three times in their last 50 games. And a 25-point win agains Southern Illinois, as our fans know from last year, is like a 40-45 win against anybody else." Bill Self on Kansas' opponent on Sunday. USC.
